Like most NPOs, your org may be struggling with effective fundraising outreach. Perhaps social media to some degree has helped to increase awareness of your work. Increased mobility in consumer behavior can work in your favor!
The key objective is discovering methods of growing your audience and engaging/cultivating new donors. Most NPOs have a limited reach when it comes to fundraising so it's imperative to engage with "brand partners" who possess the ability to introduce you to their audiences.
Co-Branded Engagement is an effective means of "spreading the net" by reaching out to consumers through brands. The strength of brand "endorsement" of your org is powerful because it influences potential donors that you might never have encountered.
Our solution provides each of your brand partners with custom co-branded mobile donation facilities to allow patrons to conveniently engage in support of your org. Donation transactions are tracked and isolated by branded partner. Your partners gain access to participating patron contact info.
Please contact your GiveNetwork rep for more detailed information.

According to MenzEnlargementPills.com, even women could use some help when it comes to sexual enhancement although it may be an enhancement more than a dysfunction to cure. A lot of older and middle aged women face problems with their same aged partners due to the lack of sex drive with increasing age and being a step closer to earlier menopause than their partners. Sexual enhancement pills might just be able to do the trick for them. Here is how:
- Sexual enhancement pills help increases the libido in women and increases the sex drive for aging women and also who might be in the wrong side of their forties but want to continue having a sustainable sex life.
- These sexual enhancement pills are also meant to release stress emotionally mentally and physically for women to increase their sexual drive as it is quite a concern with women. Stress makes women age faster than men and so does their sex drive gets affected indivertibly.
- For a woman her whole lifestyle and the ways she remains depend completely on her female reproductive system. If she is facing gynecological problems, her whole life may fall upside down discouraging her sex life as well and also her overall health Sexual enhancement pills, well at least some tend to help maintain the good health of the reproductive system in women.
While women may face more problems emotionally than on bed it is an important factor to keep happy relationships, well, happy, according to MenzEnlargementPills.com. But for men there are millions of products available in the market and they have less to worry about because of the demand in men for such products. Some of the top male enhancement supplements are available at: www.sexenhancerreview.com and www.menshealthadvisor.org.

The Reserve Bank deputy governor said that the prices of homes in Sydney appear to be declining at a fast rate because the supply has increased in the property sector.
Philip Lowe said that he would readily welcome a drop in the housing prices in Australia. According to an investment bank group, the prices of houses have peaked and are expected to fall by about 7.5 percent in the next two years. The experts are expecting that the prices will start to drop during March next year and will continue the decline until mid 2017. It will be then that the market will once again pick up its momentum. Economists noted that the recent data which includes credit growth, house prices, auction clearance rates, dollar value of the settlements as well as its volumes are now showing signs of slowing down from its lofty levels. Looking at the different indicators, it will appear that the peak in the current housing cycle has already been reached.
There are now signs emerging that home loan approvals are slowing and that experts are expecting the demand for home loans to bottom down in 2018. The note also said that economists are expecting the housing credit to hits its bottom at just 3 percent three years from now. The falling demand for the credits when it comes to the housing market and the falling prices of houses will in turn make the banks lower their profit forecasts by about 1 to 4 percent in the next 2 to 3 years. The most affected banks will be the National Australia Bank and the Commonwealth Bank. They will be the most affected by this decline in the market since they have higher lending to investors of real estate properties.
The demand for mortgages coming from the property investors has dropped as well after the banking regulator required the banks to cap the lending of their investors to just an annual growth rate of about 10 percent. So where will the renovation companies Perth stand in with these issues arising? Economists and housing experts have to thoroughly evaluate things in order to supplement decision making of the players in the market.

Change never happens by itself, certainly not if change is imposed from above. Although there is of course a growing number of companies that has intrinsically embraced sustainability reporting, that does not apply for the majority of European businesses. And that is more due to powerlessness than unwillingness: sustainability reporting is not easy and requires the necessary investment in knowledge, time and people. With financial reporting it is mainly a question of gathering the right information, then analyzing and presenting it. For non-financial reporting that is only part of the story: it is also about 'soft' indicators. For example, if you want to identify social activities, then you will need to examine not only what is actually delivered (quantitative) but also how it is perceived at grassroots level (qualitative). That requires a whole new way of thinking.
Whoever wants to start sustainability reporting, needs to re-learn how to report. Ask other questions, list other indicators, set other priorities. The essence lies in the motivation: is it seen as an 'obligation' or as an opportunity with added value? Sustainability reporting can only be successful if it is 100% supported by the company, if there is an intrinsic belief that the company will become stronger through sustainability reporting.
The New Economics Foundation (NEF), an independent British think tank, recently set a good example. In October 2015, the NEF published a list of five indicators that say much more about the status of the country than the out-dated Gross Domestic Product (GDP). According to the NEF, the GDP is mainly a speedometer: it shows whether you are going faster or slower, but says nothing about the direction. Prosperity is not the same as wellbeing. More economic growth will not automatically mean that people are healthier or happier. And in that latter lie the collective wish of the population and the task of politics. The NEF listed the following five indicators:
The NEF focuses on the UK as a whole, but essentially it also applies to companies: don't just look at hard economic figures but also at the context. What do the numbers mean for the mission, vision and long term strategy of the company? How can the company create added value?
On the other side of the Channel, in the Netherlands, we find an inspiring example in the Transparency Benchmark. This is an annual examination of the content and quality of social reporting done by Dutch businesses. The company with the best performance wins the prestigious Crystal Award (in 2015 Akzo Nobel). The Transparency Benchmark gives clear criteria and thus points the way. Transparency is – of course – key and that benefits the quality. Furthermore, the competitive element increases the urge of companies to perform well: they want to keep up with each other, prestige is at stake. That actually raises just one question: why is there no European Transparency Benchmark?

Cheesesteaks. How Much Do You Love Them?
Cheese + Steaks = ::Drool::
Rocky. The Declaration of Independence. And cheesesteaks. Thank you, Philly! You brought us the delicious wonder that is thinly sliced steak filled sandwiches complete with oozing melted cheese.

Pair it with some freedom fries and a local beer and that's all you need for a perfect vacation.
While there's no denying the deliciousness of a cheesesteak, get inspired by these classic and updated takes on the holy sandwich. Check out these photos and run out and grab one of your own or even try making it at home!

A couple years ago I got a gift basket that had a body cream, face wash and a chap stick from this store,Lavish Botanicals in Mission Hills. I eneded up putting it under the sink in my bathroom and completely forgetting about it. A few months later, I ran out of body lotion so I pulled the cream out of the basket and I was instantly hooked! It smelled like a spa and made my skin sooooo soft. I couldn't believe such amazing things were sitting in my bathroom that whole time. I loved all the products so much I used them up and in no time I had to go replenish my products.
When I stepped into the store I was so amazed, I hardly knew anything about this company. Come to find out, they actually make all of their products in house with organic herbs and essential oils. I am such a freak about taking care of my skin and before I went all-natural I could have been the spokesperson for products like ProActive. Shortly after visiting this store I threw out every single paraben, preservative and petroleum based skin product I owned. Products that contain chemicals to prevent break outs or clear skin can actually dry out the skin and INCREASE breakouts and the signs of aging. You heard me, increase!
Poopsie Fact: The natural oils in your skin are produced by the sebaceous gland which creates a natural skin lubricant called sebum. Sebum keeps your skin hydrated by locking in necessary moisture in the outer layer and when it is removed by harsh chemicals it can overcompensate by producing excess oil and causing skin problems. Essential Oils found in natural remedies don't remove your natural oils they work in conjunction with your skin to create a healthy balance. I don't know about you, but I don't want to get wrinkles any faster than I have to so bring on the sebum!
This cleanser gently buffs away dirt, impurities and make-up with gentle oatmeal, milk, herbs, clay and botanicals. Simply hydrate the finely textured powder with water and massage over moist skin to sweep away flaky, dry skin. Completely free of soap and preservatives!
For oily or acne prone skin. Daily, light weight facial lotion keeps oil-rich or acne prone skin clear and healthy by providing the proper balance of vital nutrients and moisture. Purifying sea ingredients and anti-bacterial oils detoxify the pores and refresh skin.
*I use this one at night to replenish the moisture in skin while I sleep*
A nourishing formula for dry, dehydrated skin.

We at Lakeside Christian Church are so blessed to be able to represent Christ and present the gift of clean water to a village in India. We are doing this so that the villagers will hear about Jesus and His offer of the Living Water that spring from the well of His salvation: eternal and abundant life through faith in our Lord Jesus Christ.
Read below to learn about where donations go.
Jesus Wells increase the health standards of a village, allowing for children to be nourished and animals to be watered. The wells you provide are located in the village or community, so women and children no longer have to walk hours to find water.
With one well you can save an entire village from waterborne illnesses.
Unlike the dirty water from stagnant ponds, streams or old shallow wells, this water is clean and creates an awareness of good hygiene, leading to fewer medical problems and healthier people.
About Gospel for Asia
Since 1979, GFA has existed to fulfill one passion: seeing communities in Asia discover the same joy, hope and lasting peace we've found in Christ.
We serve to equip missionaries to minister throughout Asia. The projects funded through myGFA each play a significant part in helping missionaries serve more effectively and in transforming communities with the love of Christ.

As it's coming up to the Korean New Year soon, we thought we'd take a look at some of the traditions and history behind the event, and have a look what we in the UK can do to celebrate. First up, astrology!
Although many of us in the UK know about Chinese astrology and the zodiac signs they have, Korea too has a similar system. Now we're coming into the year Dragon, let's find out about the Korean zodiac system, or the 12 earthly branches (십이지/Sipiji), and what it may mean for the UK!
In the Korean zodiac system, there are 12 gods of the earth or 십이지신/sibijisin (십이(Sibi) = 12, 지신(Jisin) = Earth gods), which are (in order): Rat 쥐(Jwi), Cow/Ox 소(So), Tiger 호랑이(Horangi), Rabbit 토끼(Tokki), Dragon 용(Yong), Snake 뱀(Paem), Horse 말(Mal), Sheep 양(Yang), Monkey 원숭이(Wonsungi), Chicken 닭(Dalk), Dog개(Kae), Pig 돼지(Dwaeji).
These earthly branches assigned to the different animals were even used for time keeping!
Symbols of Sibiji / 십이지
Jasi (23:00-01:00): The mouse is most active during this time.
Chuksi (01:00-03:00): The cow ruminates its cud and prepares for the next morning's work in the field.
Insi (03:00-05:00): The tiger is the most ferocious during this time.
Myosi (05:00-07:00): Before the sunrise, a jade rabbit can be seen in the moon high in the sky.
Jinsi (07:00-09:00): The dragon flies and prepares for the rain.
Sasi (09:00-11:00): The snake is still sleeping so it will not harm humans
Osi (11:00-13:00): As the yang of the earth turns to yin at this time, the horse gallops across the earth.
Misi (13:00-15:00): The sheep must graze the field at this time so as not to harm the grass.
Sinsi (15:00-17:00): The monkey cries the most at this time.
Yusi (17:00-19:00): After a whole day of searching for food, the chicken finally goes to its nest.
Sulsi (19:00-21:00): As the sun sets, the dog starts looking after the house.
Haesi (21:00-23:00): The pig has the sweetest dream at this time.
If you want to find out what animal year you were born in, please visit this site to find out, and also see what personality traits the animal has. Tell us if you match the personality of the animal year you were born in!And so what does this all mean for people in the UK? Apart from it being fun to work out what animal year you were born in (tiger year is the coolest!), different years with different animals mean different things. This year is an especially auspicious year – not only is it the year of the dragon, but it's the year of the Black Dragon, which only rolls around once every 60 years! So if you're into your astrology (and you're old enough) this is set to be a good year to have a baby which will be filled with luck. So if you're planning that your future children will be rich and look after you when you're old, now seems like a good year start that plan if you want a lucky child.
It also seems like the UK will be lucky this year in terms of all things Kpop. Over the past few weeks, rumours of various Kpop idols and groups visiting the UK have been sweeping the nation. The first part of this year promises to have a whole host of Kpop events lined up. Thank you Mr. Black Dragon! This year we hope that the Black Dragon's luck will extend to our island, and make this year one filled with fun Korean events and culture.

Chasing ChallengesNesbitt's Nibbles 4th June 2015 No Comments 265
A challenge, or an opportunity? I guess thats like asking if the glass is half empty or half full. It depends how you perceive it. Personally, I think that every challenge is an opportunity and every opportunity is a challenge. Bit of a tongue twister that.
This week I raced over 5000m for the second time in my life. In the surrounds of Sports City, Manchester, you certainly feel inspired by the strong calibre of the environment. I saw this race as an opportunity to improve upon what I considered a poor first 5000m attempt. That was the challenge. The opportunity was the race, the chance to do that and the time to put my hard work into practice. The race was filled with highly strung athletes, who one day I inspire to be as good as… For me a new PB and a strong time would suffice.
Finishing the race and confirming my time – 16.09, I had achieved what I set out to do, in fact a lot better than I thought I would. I should be over the moon right – no! Just 4 seconds outside the Euro U23 qualifying time (which would be a second QT for me, as I have the 10,000m) was a bitter pill to swallow. If someone had told me though I'd have run that time before the race, I'd have laughed… and this is what I have to think of when I reflect upon it. I guess I've set myself a new challenge for a few weeks time – another opportunity to do what I love.
In a way, having challenges to chase is what gives you the drive to continue. I don't just mean when running, but in life when you've got a goal, a focus and an opportunity to achieve, energy you didn't think existed emerges and allows you to continue. It is a bit like magic really!
Challenges can seem overwhelming sometimes though, thats to be expected. Whats a challenge if you are able to just click your fingers and have it sorted? Hard work and continuous determination is what makes you (or breaks you… then you just use the opportunity, see what I mean!).
Sometimes, challenges come from what you don't expect. As an athlete, one of the biggest challenges is illness and injury and can be so disheartening, especially when you feel training is going well. But I've discovered that if you embrace these challenges as best you can (I know this really is so much more easier said than done….) you become a stronger, wiser and greater individual. Not only that, but new opportunities can arise. For me, injury has led me to team up with 206 Physio and they have helped me overcome my problems. Not only that, but keeping in regular contact with them has also allowed me the chance to gain valuable advice week in and week out.. Now thats more than just a bonus! I've also been lucky enough to get regular physio from Russell Kingston – a fantastic physio – who keeps me in check, something that is so important when you train day in and day out. Paul Hobrough was also another individual I was put in contact with through Steve Cram when I was injured and the information, advice and help he has given me will help me for years to come. So see, it isn't all bad… You need to take the opportunities out of the challenges (especially the negative ones!), and put that mental toughness into practice!
Everyone is different, and everyone's challenges are going to be different. For some it may be getting up in the morning and making the most of the day ahead, for others it may be climbing Mount Everest as fast as possible, but whatever it is, chasing and achieving your challenges makes you feel alive. Embrace the moment and behold the opportunity is my advice!
I would say that as the weather is getting nicer, it is lovely to see people out and about challenging themselves to a run. But the weather isn't getting nicer…. So it is just lovely to see people out and about taking the opportunity to blow away the cobwebs and possibly start training up for the Worcester City 10km. As far as challenges and opportunities go, this race (The Worcester City 10km) certainly incorporated the two. I still have to stop and think about last year… I remember standing on the start line thinking what an opportunity this is, to run against a true legend, then I remember challenging myself to not let Paula Radcliffe out of my sight. I embraced both of them and that extra energy I didn't think existed really did emerge and to this day I feel honoured to have been in the same company as Paula.
So maybe…. set this as your next challenge. 20th September 2015, 10km around Worcester, fantastic atmosphere and a great experience. An opportunity you don't want to miss!
Hopefully I'll see some of you out training along the river (my favourite spot to run this time of the year!) in preparation for September.
Remember – "DON'T RUN AWAY FROM CHALLENGES… RUN OVER THEM!"
Until next time….

A recent Tenth Circuit decision shines light on a new avenue to challenge cannabis businesses, even in states where medical and recreational marijuana is legal.
Although the potential federal criminal threat to cannabis businesses in states that have legalized medical or recreational cannabis has been relatively well-discussed, the potential civil threat has received little attention. In Safe Streets Alliance v. Hickenlooper, 859 F.3d 865 (10th Cir. June 7, 2017), the Tenth Circuit reversed the dismissal of civil Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO) claims against a cannabis growing operation in Colorado, leaving open the possibility of future civil challenges to cannabis businesses.
Using RICO
Although commonly associated with anti-mob criminal prosecutions, RICO contains a provision that creates a federal civil private right of action that "vests a private citizen with substantive rights to avoid 'injuries' to 'his business or property' caused by a pattern of racketeering activity." Safe Streets, slip op. at 15 (quoting 18 U.S.C. § 1964(c)). The plaintiffs in Safe Streets, Michael and Phillis Reilly, used precisely this mechanism to pursue federal civil claims against a cannabis cultivation operation that neighbored the Reillys' property. Id. at 10. (The defendants in the case were a somewhat loosely affiliated group of individuals and entities, including 6480 Pickney, LLC, Alternative Holistic Healing, LLC, Camp Feel Good, LLC, Jason M. Licata, Joseph R. Licata, and Parker Walton. Id. at 12.)
The Reillys owned a piece of land in Pueblo County, Colorado, where they did not live but occasionally used for recreation such as horseback riding. Id. at 10-11. Defendants operated a cannabis cultivation operation on the neighboring property. Id. at 11. Amendment 64 to the Colorado Constitution legalized recreational cannabis, including its cultivation. Id. at 5; see also Colo. Const,art. XVIII, § 16. Reillys alleged the defendants' operation caused a "distinctive and unpleasant marijuana smell" to waft onto their property. Id.. Reillys filed a federal RICO lawsuit in Colorado, but the trial court dismissed their complaint. The Reillys then appealed to the Tenth Circuit.
RICO requirements
Under the citizen suit provision of RICO, a plaintiff must prove (1) a violation of RICO section 1962; (2) that his or her business or property has been injured; and (3) that the RICO-prohibited activity caused the injury. Id. at 15 (citing RJR Nabisco, Inc. v. European Cmty., 136 S. Ct. 2090, 2096 (2016)). The court concluded the Reillys plausibly pled the defendants' cannabis cultivation operation constituted a violation of RICO section 1962. Id. at 22. The court reasoned that racketeering activity defined under RICO expressly includes dealing in a controlled substance, which is illegal under federal law, and therefore a cannabis cultivation operation was racketeering activity conducted by an association in fact. See id. at 20-22.
Analyzing the harm
Most interestingly, the court concluded the Reillys may be able to prove the cannabis cultivation operation harmed their property interests by (1) substantially reducing their use and enjoyment of their property due the "noxious odor" of the cannabis—i.e. a nuisance; (2) reducing the value of their property due the cannabis smell nuisance; and (3) reducing the value of the property by having a neighbor that is "openly operating criminal enterprise." See id. at 24-29. In doing so, the court also concluded that the causation requirement had could likely be met, as it was folded into the analysis of the harms themselves.
At the same time, the court rejected more vague injuries asserted by the Reillys, such as claims they were "injured each time they look[ed] to the west and observe[d] the Marijuana Growers' facility because the structure itself is a constant reminder of the crimes occurring therein." Id. at 29-30. The court ruled these "emotional, personal, or speculative future injuries" were not compensable under RICO. Id. at 30.
Potential implications
The portion of the opinion discussed immediately above has potentially far-reaching implications for cannabis-related businesses. First, it opens the door for federal RICO civil suits premised upon nuisances. Ordinarily, a claim based upon a neighbor's property's "noxious odor" would be dealt with in state court, as a classic common law property action. Perhaps fearful of a cannabis-sympathetic Colorado state bench, the Reillys managed to transform their state law nuisance cause of action into a federal RICO action, by virtue of the fact cannabis cultivation is still illegal at the federal level under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA).
Second, it provides two methods by which neighboring civil plaintiffs may legally challenge cannabis businesses: (1) via claims of nuisance and (2) via property value reduction due to criminal activities.
Although the transmutation of a state law nuisance claim into a RICO claim is somewhat eyebrow-raising, the true revelation in this case is the ratification of the "criminal activities property value reduction" RICO claim. For example, a cannabis business can insulate itself from nuisance or nuisance-based RICO claims by taking precautions—whether by operating indoors with proper HVAC or by operating in commercially or agriculturally zoned land. However, even a cannabis business that emits no odors or other nuisances—for example, a refining lab that uses cannabis to create CBD oil for treatment of epilepsy—could still be subject to a RICO claim purely based on the theory its very existence and operation in the plaintiff's neighborhood lowers the plaintiff's property value.
Possible solution?
The way the court framed this type of property injury suggests a solution for cannabis businesses. The court reasoned that "it is reasonable to infer that a potential buyer would be less inclined to purchase land abutting an openly operating criminal enterprise than she would be if that adjacent land were empty or occupied by a lawfully-operating retailer." Id. at 29 (emphasis added). The court went on to state "[b]ased on the Reillys' assertion that the Marijuana Growers' operation is anything but clandestine, the Reillys' land plausibly is worth less now that is was before those operations began." Id. (emphasis added). Both of these lines suggest if a neighboring cannabis business is operating discreetly, the argument that there is property value reduction falls apart.
In this regard, the Safe Streets case is a cautionary tale for cannabis businesses in states that have recently legalized recreational marijuana. Cannabis entrepreneurs, emboldened by state-by-state decisions to legalize recreational marijuana, can be tempted to jump in with both feet and operate their business openly, assuming the recent legalization effectively operates as a mandate for their business. However enthused the majority may be in a given legal recreational marijuana state, there may still be a minority that may oppose the direction their state has taken.
As such, cannabis businesses can take precautions to avoid upsetting their neighbors and risking nuisance and/or RICO claims. First, as mentioned above, a cannabis business can design its property to avoid the dispersion of the "noxious odors" at issue in Safe Streets. Second, a "cannabis business" can choose to locate in an agriculturally or commercially zoned area, or better yet, in an area surrounded by other cannabis businesses. Third, a cannabis business can operate discreetly—or, to borrow the words of the Tenth Circuit, "clandestinely"—to avoid the "criminal enterprise" property value reduction discussed above. By operating indoors or not broadcasting the nature of their business, a cannabis business gives its neighbors less ammunition to supply a potential RICO lawsuit.
We pause to emphasize that we are using the term "cannabis business" to refer to businesses that handle the actual cannabis plant or its derivatives. The "cannabis ancillary" business market—which provides services and goods to aid those who directly handle physical cannabis or its derivatives—is by nature more naturally insulated from these concerns, and is also beyond the scope of this article.
Additional facets to the Safe Streets decision
The Safe Streets appeal also involved several parallel threads that bear mention.
Equity Action
In addition to their suit against their neighbors, the Reillys also brought suit against Colorado and Pueblo County in an "equity" action in which they requested a judgment declaring that the federal Controlled Substances Act entirely preempted Amendment 64, along with statewide injunctive relief blocking enforcement of Amendment 64. Id. at 35. However, the court concluded the CSA provided no private right of action to civil plaintiffs, and as a result the Reillys could not bring a suit demanding preemption under the CSA. Id. at 58-59. Although this analysis clearly takes a backseat to the RICO claims, it eliminates a potential path by which private civil plaintiffs can challenge the legalization of cannabis at a state level. Although the conflict between the CSA and the laws of the states that have legalized cannabis, whether medical or recreational, is well-documented, the Safe Streets decision confirms private plaintiffs cannot force a resolution of this conflict themselves.
Law Enforcement Officers Action
The Safe Streets court also ruled on a parallel appeal not involving the Reillys. That case, Smith v. Hickenlooper, involved "a group of county attorneys and sheriffs from Colorado, Kansas, and Nebraska" which took a path similar to the one followed by the Reillys: they sued Colorado to preempt enforcement of Amendment 64 under the CSA. The plaintiffs argued Amendment 64—and, for the non-Colorado plaintiffs, the attendant influx of "Colorado-sourced marijuana"—inhibited their ability to enforce the CSA. Id. at 63-65. For the same reasons as the Reillys, the Tenth Circuit held that the law enforcement officer plaintiffs had no substantive rights to enforce under the CSA or the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution. Id. at 68.
Nebraska and Oklahoma Action
The final appeal addressed by the Tenth Circuit dealt with a complaint filed in the United States Supreme Court by Nebraska and Oklahoma against Colorado. Id. at 69. Nebraska and Oklahoma also sought to enjoin Amendment 64 by virtue of its preemption by the CSA. Id. The Supreme Court declined to hear the matter. Id. Afterward, Nebraska and Oklahoma moved to intervene in the Safe Streets appeal, requesting that the Tenth Circuit exercise jurisdiction over their claim. Id. at 70. However, because the Supreme Court has exclusive jurisdiction over disputes between the states, the Tenth Circuit was "forbid[den] from deciding" the alleged controversy between the states. Id. at 76. The Tenth Circuit's reasoned but efficient disposal of this aspect of the litigation shows that until the Supreme Court is willing to hear a dispute between a state that has legalized marijuana and one that has not, those cases will die on the vine.
What's next?
The legalized cannabis civil lawsuit developments in Safe Streets naturally point the spotlight back to the criminal side of the ever-evolving landscape of cannabis law. In April 2017, comments from Attorney General Jeff Sessions and then-Presidential Press Secretary Sean Spicer created some uncertainty over the fate of the Rohrabacher-Farr amendment, now called the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer amendment, a Congressional appropriations bill rider that withholds federal funding for criminal prosecutions in legal medical marijuana states. See Heinlein & Ayres, Federal-State Marijuana Policy: An Uneasy Peace, California Lawyer.com (Apr. 24, 2017).
After two short term extensions, the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer amendment was signed into law as part of a Congressional appropriations bill on May 5, 2017. H.R. 244, P.L. No. 115-31 – Consolidated Appropriations Act (May 5, 2017); Resolution Extends Rohrabacher-Blumenauer Amendment, Culture Magazine (Apr. 27, 2017), http://ireadculture.com/resolution-extends-rohrabacher-blumenauer-amendment/. However, in his signing statement, President Trump said he would "treat this provision consistently with my constitutional responsibility to take care that the laws be faithfully executed." Statement by President Donald J. Trump on Signing H.R. 244 into Law, The White House (May 5, 2017), https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/05/05/statement-president-donald-j-trump-signing-hr-244-law.
President Trump's signing statement, of course, leaves open the possibility that his administration may pursue a more aggressive anti-marijuana prosecutorial regime in line with Attorney General Sessions' public comments. Whether President Trump will attempt to fund marijuana prosecutions in legal medical marijuana states in contradiction to the Rohrabacher-Blumenauer amendment—and United States v. McIntosh, see Heinlein & Ayres, supra—remains to be seen. Prognosis on the Trump administration's future action on this front is especially difficult in light of the uncertainty surrounding Attorney General Sessions' future. See Charlie Savage, How Trump Could Oust Sessions if He Declines to Quit, N.Y. Times (July 26, 2017), https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/26/us/politics/trump-jeff-sessions.html. The current Congressional appropriations bill expires on September 30, 2017. H.R. 244, P.L. No. 115-31 – Consolidated Appropriations Act (May 5, 2017). In the meantime, the "Task Force on Crime Reduction and Public Safety," created by Attorney General Sessions, is scheduled to release its findings on potential links between violent crimes and cannabis by the end of the month. Avantika Chilkoti, States Keep Saying Yes to Marijuana Use. Now Comes the Federal No., N.Y. Times (July 15, 2017), https://www.nytimes.com/2017/07/15/us/politics/marijuana-laws-state-federal.html.
Regardless of odor, the smoke surrounding the movement to legalize marijuana continues to swirl. The decision in Safe Streets proves that the legal developments in this area bear continuing scrutiny.

So far we have only discussed the New Manhattan Project's most obvious aspect: weather control. Just in that aspect alone, the New Manhattan Project is easily the biggest scientific endeavor in Human history. Believe it or not, it appears that quite a few other massive projects have been piggybacked upon this global weather modification scheme.
They are already spraying us with megatons of aluminum, barium, and strontium. That right there is enough to put people away in prison for the rest of their lives, or worse. So why stop there? The people responsible for the New Manhattan Project (NMP) have apparently gone for broke. Read more

***SHORTLISTED FOR THE BAILEYS' WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION 2016***'LUMINOUS' Guardian'STUNNING' New York Times'EXCEPTIONAL' Uzo Aduba (Orange Is The New Black)Ephram Jennings has never forgotten the beautiful girl with the long braids running through the piney woods of Liberty, their small East Texas town. Young Ruby Bell, "the kind of pretty it hurt to look at," has suffered beyond imagining, so as soon as she can, she flees suffocating Liberty for the bright pull of 1950s New York. Ruby quickly winds her way into the ripe center of the city-the darkened piano bars and hidden alleyways of the Village-all the while hoping for a glimpse of the red hair and green eyes of her mother. When a telegram from her cousin forces her to return home, thirty-year-old Ruby finds herself reliving the devastating violence of her girlhood. With the terrifying realization that she might not be strong enough to fight her way back out again, Ruby struggles to survive her memories of the town's dark past. Meanwhile, Ephram must choose between loyalty to the sister who raised him and the chance for a life with the woman he has loved since he was a boy.Full of life, exquisitely written, and suffused with the pastoral beauty of the rural South, Ruby is a transcendent novel of passion and courage. This wondrous page-turner rushes through the red dust and gossip of Main Street, to the pit fire where men swill bootleg outside Bloom's Juke, to Celia Jennings's kitchen, where a cake is being made, yolk by yolk, that Ephram will use to try to begin again with Ruby. Utterly transfixing, with unforgettable characters, riveting suspense, and breathtaking, luminous prose, Ruby offers an unflinching portrait of man's dark acts and the promise of the redemptive power of love.

September 1989
"This is the best banana split I think I've ever had," she said.
"If you say so."
"It is!"
"I think, Princess, you're a little crazy right now and you just think that's the case. There were plenty of desserts to choose from at the party. Some I'm pretty sure I couldn't even pronounce, but they looked pretty good."
"I know, I didn't want any of those! This is what I wanted," she said, pointing at the dish with her spoon.
"If you say so."
"I suspect they would've made you a banana split if you asked for it."
"Yes, but I wanted this banana split."
"Do you want some more?" she asked.
"I think I'll pass. I know better than to get between a pregnant woman and her craving. If there's any left I'll finish it."
"I wasn't craving it. I just wanted ice cream instead of cake!"
"See, proof you are a little crazy right now. That cake looked pretty damned good if I do say so myself in my layman's opinion."
"You could have had a piece of cake. He's your grandfather. I didn't make you leave to come here! I'm sure I would have had a bite."
John shrugged, taking the offered bite of her banana split. He had to admit it tasted pretty damned good and probably better than the cake.
"I was ready to leave, you know. You mentioned wanting a banana split. It just gave me the excuse I needed to get out of there."
"Did you have an okay time?" Claire asked.
"Yeah, it was okay. Not my ideal way of spending a Friday night. I was sure hoping it'd be tomorrow and I'd have an excuse not to show up."
"I think Wayne said they were leaving for Europe tomorrow or something."
"Phillip said the same thing, so that makes sense, I guess."
"Were you surprised he talked to you?"
"I was," John said.
She had to know that, though. Sol had actually stood and talked to the two of them for about ten minutes. People had to be wondering who they were to take up that much of his time because he didn't talk to many other couples their age for that long aside from his kids and their guests. He asked Claire about work, not surprising since he knew Claire. He also asked John about his work and about his upcoming trip (obviously Phillip had told them about it, which John found he didn't mind).
"Very actually," he added. "I was even more surprised he introduced me to that guy as his grandson. I wasn't expecting that."
"I wasn't that surprised. You are his grandson. They have nothing to be ashamed of there. Neither do you. They seem to legitimately be proud of you, John."
"I know," he said. "He said he'd like to see some of my work."
"Really? Where was I that I missed that?"
"Talking to someone," John said. "Uh, a friend of Erin's I think."
"Oh! Sandy, maybe?"
"Maybe. I can't keep track of all the names."
"I know. You're fine. You're not expected to. I just saw some people I hadn't seen in years. Lord knows when I'll see some of them again because I knew them more because they knew Christopher and Phillip than me. You know? I only knew Sandy because she was a little younger than Erin. She dated Wayne in high school or something I think and after they broke up she and Erin remained friends."
"Really? I didn't know that."
"Yeah, Wayne wasn't too happy at the time that they were friends. He thought they were talking about him or that it was Sandy's way of trying to get him to go out with her again."
"It wasn't though?"
"No, I mean, obviously not, years later they're still friends. I'd say it's kind of like Ronda and me, but not quite the same. Just a friend found in an unusual way."
"Ah," he said, sort of understanding.
"Sol and Cecile do seem as though they legitimately want to get to know you."
"I know that, too. I'm getting there."
"Are you?"
"Well, yes. It was a lot for me to process you know. I mean, I went from having no one to being married with in-laws, then I found out I had a brother, uncles, an aunt, and grandparents. It was a lot to take in. It still is, I'm still processing it all. I mean, where were these people all of my life?"
"I know," she said, looking kind of pensive. Why though?
"I've made the big decision regarding my mom. I think that was the one I had to focus on first, you know because it is the one that'll affect, well, us most directly. So, once I'd decided that I had time to think about the others. Obviously, I want Billy in my life. Maybe she'll get tired of me not wanting to be involved directly with her and cut me off. I guess that's the chance I take."
"I don't think she'd do that. If for no other reason she'll hope that you'll come around to wanting to be involved with her. I think she wants you to be."
"It would seem so, yes. And I might. Maybe ten years down the road when he's going into high school I will. I don't know."
"Right. I don't think anyone would blame you."
"I think most people would think I'm a little crazy."
"Most people don't have to live with you, John. I wouldn't blame you. She's your mother. She doesn't seem like a bad person away from the drugs and your father."
"I'm still on the fence on whether she's away from either of them for good. You know? If the old man got out on some technicality tomorrow I just don't know she wouldn't let him come back home."
"We'll probably never really know. She can say she is all she wants."
"Thank you for seeing that."
"I totally understand where you're coming from, hon."
"As far as the Taylor's," he shrugged. "They, her parents, really didn't do anything wrong as much as I might like to blame them or hold them accountable. I can't really. She left. What were they supposed to do? Force her to come home? She would've turned eighteen and probably left again anyway. She clearly loved my dad at the time so they couldn't have convinced her he was no good or that I was better off."
"True," Claire said.
"And Phillip brought up a valid point once."
"What if she stayed out of fear he'd do something worse than hurt you?"
"It's possible. Would it make a difference to you?"
"As far as her involvement with our children?"
"No. I'll be cordial to her, but that's the extent of it. For Billy's sake. If she needs help with the cars or things around the house I'll do them as I can, but only the major stuff like the furnace. Smaller things like fixing a leaky sink she'll be on her own for. That's it. I realize twenty years ago there weren't shelters like there are today, but you can't tell me if she'd asked her parents for help they couldn't have shipped her off somewhere safe from him finding them."
"Yes, but," Claire said and stopped.
"Well, what if she was worried he'd know her parents did that and hurt them, too? I mean, she wouldn't have had any other means to get away so he'd have to know she got help. She wasn't working to hide money like you did."
He sighed softly.
"Well, clearly, with Billy, she's been presented with the necessity of fending for herself and other than the things I've done like fixing the cars and furnace she's managed. I mean, she's more than managed. The house looks good. The lawn was mowed and stuff over the summer. I mean, sure, maybe she could've spent more time weeding or whatever, but I realize with a little kid she doesn't have the time I do to spend all day on the yard. So, she's capable. I just can't buy into that, you know? As much as I'd like to think that was the reason," he shrugged.
He ran a finger along the tabletop in front of him while she worked on the banana split. He'd thought long and hard on this. He knew his mom was waiting for some sort of sign from him that he wanted more from her than the barely-there relationship they had.
"I still can't find it in me to think it's a valid enough excuse. I mean, come on, my grandfather was a judge around the time we were in junior high. Earlier maybe, I don't know. He could've done something! He probably could've had him arrested him for something. Or had the authorities take me away from them so at least I was out of there. Even if she didn't know he was a judge, which I find hard to believe, she sure knew he was an attorney. I bet a restraining order wouldn't have been too hard to get with her dad in the picture."
"True," she said. She hated talking about this stuff with him. He knew that. "You know I'll support you whatever you decide."
"I know. I may change my mind, but I highly doubt it. I don't think I'm a horrible person even though I know what your priest would probably tell me. You know, something about forgiveness being divine. Forgiveness isn't forgetting, though, and I'm not sure I could ever forget."
"Me neither and it wasn't me."
"I hate that you have to see it and I guess that's what drives my decision."
"Me? I don't want to be the reason you decide something like that, John. She's your mother and if she's really cleaned up her life…"
"No," he said, taking another bite of the banana split when she offered it to him. "Not you. I mean, yes. You say what I look like doesn't matter and you worry about what you'll look like on a beach in November. You don't think I worry about and wonder the same thing? People are pregnant every day. That's a valid excuse for what you've got going on. Mine is not nearly as pleasant. You don't think I wonder what people will think about you being with a guy like me? I mean, around here especially I think it. Last summer I was anonymous. I'm not anymore so I think about some fucking reporter catching me out mowing the lawn when it's ninety degrees or something."
"No, I know. I mean, I know you say you don't care, but it's there in my head, you know? I guess when it gets down to it, I care. I care that people might see me and wonder what you're doing with a guy like me. You could have had your choice of any guy in Chicago, rich and well-educated ones who don't have to work six days a week. Guys who didn't have the childhoods I had who you could go to a beach with and they wouldn't get stared at."
"You choose to work six days a week. You could choose to be closed on Sunday and Monday to give yourself a weekend."
"Yes, but I've never had the need to."
"I know that, but that doesn't mean you have to work six days a week."
"If I wanted a roof over my head, a car in my garage, food on my table, and things like electricity it did."
"I suppose."
"I think about our kid, kids. Am I going to have to put a shirt on to mow the lawn? What about when they're older and have friends spend the night? You know? Do I have to make sure I put a shirt on to go to the kitchen in the middle of the night for a glass of milk? Would their friends see me and tell their parents and then not be permitted to come over anymore? Who knows how it would be described by a kid. I think about these things. Not like every second of the day, but I have time on my hands or I see kids interacting with their parents now that you're pregnant and I can't help it. She stood by and did nothing and it affects me, us, because it does you, too, whether you want to think so or not, in ways I never thought of four years ago. I mean, what if he or she is scared of me? Ashamed of me? What if he or she doesn't want friends around me?"
"I see your point. I don't care. In November, when our kids are older, when you're mowing the lawn. The fact that you worry about it, that it crosses your mind…"
"Yeah, see, that's on her."
"Our kids aren't going to care either, John, because they won't know any different."
"They'll know you! They'll see their friends' dads. They'll see Phillip or Wayne or Billy."
"I don't walk around without shirts on."
"That is a crime in itself."
She sighed softly. He was changing the subject and she didn't want him to yet. He knew that.
"I mean, it's on him, of course, but she had resources at her disposal, powerful legal ones even. She can't claim she didn't know about them or have someone to ask questions at her fingertips. That's what gets me about her marriage, too. She could ask her dad what would go into getting a divorce and certainly he'd be able to help her or at the very least give her the information she needs. She won't do it, though. Any forgiveness I might have been able to come up with pretty much flew out the window when I thought on that."
"I know," she said.
"So, I'm sorry I didn't really answer your question. It was a surprisingly good time. I didn't feel hugely out of place, just somewhat. People knew you so that helped I think not make me feel like an outsider. I'll get used to it. I realize those types of things are in store for me for the rest of my life. It's just an adjustment being a guest at something like that instead of the hired help."
"You know, a part of me thinks all of this is my fault."
"Well, everything that's happened to you it's kind of my fault."
"Your fault? How in the world do you get that?"
"Well, I convinced you to go on that trip to Las Vegas."
"Claire. I wanted to go."
"Sure, after I practically begged you to go. You didn't want to. You told me at first you thought it was too soon. Remember?"
"I thought it'd be fun. I didn't see it as too soon. I saw it as a few days away from everything with you and my friends."
"I remember. I was there for our conversations and the trip."
"So, we went on the trip that was my idea. We got married. Fine. We had the party, which led to your mom getting that present of ours by mistake," she shrugged, licking her spoon of some whipped cream that she missed. He chuckled a little at her, but he was listening.
"I mean, that led to you finding out about Billy. The reception led to you meeting Phillip and your grandparents," she sighed softly. "I should've just been content with being married to you."
"That's what you get out of all of this?"
"You were happy without any family, though."
"Sure, I was happy without a wife, too, but I have one now and I want to keep her."
"You do?"
"Yup, pretty badly."
She leaned in and kissed him.
"That's sweet."
"Yeah, that's me."
"So you don't blame me?"
"Blame you? For giving me a family? I mean, Jesus, Claire we're going to have a kid in a few months. You have me excited about that idea."
"I'm glad."
"Would I rather my mom not be in this? I guess, but then I wouldn't know Billy and while we're not close now I hope that'll change as he gets older and we can do more stuff together. I'd love to do stuff with him that my dad never did with me. You know? Play catch or take him to a Cubs game. Or take him and our kids to the zoo in a couple of years."
"I know," she said.
"So, sure, you're right. If we'd just settled for eloping and not done the reception my life would be easier. Easier isn't always better, though."
"I'm glad you think so, and hope you always do."
"Oh, I'm sure there will be times I think things would be easier without all of them, but other than Phillip no one's really pushing me. They seem to understand I need time."
"They do. I was sort of surprised they invited you tonight."
"Me, too. Man, I can't believe how young they are. You know? I can't even imagine being married at nineteen. I mean, they had to get pregnant right away for Mom to be forty coming up here."
"Me neither," she said. "You know one thing I never understood."
"The night we got married."
"Why were you playing the slots?"
"What do you mean?"
"Well, you told me you were going to try black jack or poker or something so when I started looking for you, that's where I started."
"Oh," he said with a shrug.
"So, I was surprised when I found you at the slots."
"I tried both, yeah, but I lost too much money right away. I don't know shit about cards. Black jack, I figured how hard could it be? You try to get as close to twenty-one with the dealer getting lower than you. It's not as easy as it sounds, though. Maybe if I had time to, you know, learn the ins and outs, but I had way too much to drink at the time to contemplate strategies. Poker wasn't any better. Who the fuck was I going to play poker with before that night? So, it's not like I really knew anything about the game. So, after losing more than I felt comfortable losing I figured I'd take my drink and some money and wait for you there."
"You could've…"
"I was not going to that show with you and your friends. I went to one and I didn't complain. That was more than enough for me."
She sighed softly.
"Yeah, I know. Sorry, just isn't my thing."
"You didn't like looking at the girls?"
"Uh, yeah, and you wouldn't have delegated me to the extra bed if I did?"
She laughed softly.
"Maybe I would've."
"I know you would've. I'm not stupid, Princess. So, I gave myself a certain amount of money to put into the slots."
"How much?"
"I don't remember. I'm sure if I'd been sober I wouldn't have allotted myself nearly as much. It wasn't a huge amount I know that."
"Well, you got your monies worth."
"I'd say."
She set her spoon in the dish, running her finger over his left ring finger and his wedding band.
"You still wear it."
"Yeah, I told you I would."
"I know, I expected you to…"
He shrugged. "I'm used to it now. It didn't take as long as I thought it would."
"And those people who don't mind wedding rings?"
"I have the people I want right here, Princess. Two of them, in fact, going by that heartbeat I've heard."
"See, there you go, saying sweet things again."
"It's the hormones getting to you. That wasn't sweet."
"It was, too."
"You done with your ice cream, Princess?"
"I am," she said.
"You polished it off pretty good. I'm surprised."
"It's ice cream. I'm pregnant, are you kidding me?"
He chuckled softly, drawing the dish toward him so he could finish the last few bites. It was pretty good.
"I haven't had a banana split in years," he said.
"You like them?"
"This was pretty good."
"Well, we have four more months of my being pregnant…"
"I'll come with you for a banana split anytime, Sweets, you know that."
"Thank you."
"Then, you know, if you're in the mood for whipped cream…"
"It wasn't just the whipped cream!"
"You might be able to convince me."
"That is very good to know."
"You know," he said.
"I was thinking about a camera."
"You need a new camera?"
"No, but I'm going to want to have one at the house to have handy for taking pictures. One that I can teach you how to use so you can take pictures, too. I mean, I have some spares, sure, but I'd like to get you one that you'll be comfortable using without me around and, well, you know there's a reason that I don't use the cameras I don't use."
He didn't have a million of them or anything, but he had a few. One he'd bought and it just didn't take the quality pictures he expected. He tried returning it, but the store were assholes about it because he'd used it for a couple of months. He got it. He wasn't sure he'd take something back after sixty days either, but he hadn't abused it or anything.
"Oh," she said. "Sure, I'd use it. I'd like to take pictures of you two together."
"Yeah, I figured that might appeal to you."
"It would," she said.
"We'll do that then. Go shopping for one that you'll like that will be portable enough you can take it with you if you're out or whatever."
"Thank you."
"Well, it's not every day I have a kid. I want pictures."
"You can take them, too."
"I know, but as great as this trip is a great opportunity for me it's not going to turn into work immediately."
"So that means weddings on Saturdays and you being around him or her when I can't be for hours and hours."
"I understand, hon."
"Thank you," he said.
She leaned in and kissed him. "Take me home."
"Maybe I'm not done with the ice cream."
"I promise you I'll make it worth the sacrifice."
"Will there be more whipped cream involved?"
"Even better."
"Yeah, yeah, likely story."
He set enough money on the table to cover the banana split, her coffee, and his Coke plus a tip while she slid her jacket on. It wasn't real cold, but they knew they were going to be late so she'd worn one since her dress had short sleeves.
"Thank you for taking me for ice cream."
"You don't have to thank me."
"Well, you might have wanted to stay…"
"Nah. I was good leaving when we left."
She leaned up and kissed him. "Well, still thank you."
"I just said I'd come eat ice cream with you anytime."
"I suspect I'll be taking you up on that offer."
"I imagine so."

"Ghost Squad is pure arcade - the kind of thing Sega used to do all the time on Dreamcast. If you've ever contemplated dropping a second coin into its big daddy, you shouldn't hesitate to consider the Wii version."
"As long as you're prepared to get nothing more than a very good, very short arcade shooter, you'll find a lot of value in this package. It's quick, it's explosive and it's great fun."
Score: 8.3/10
all of the unlockable guns and retarded costumes make it last.
It literally takes 30 mins to beat the whole game, but it has a bunch of unlockable content. Overall, it's just dumb fun. I played through it 5 times in a row with some friends.

DIY Cut Out Nails
Hey guys! I have something fun for you girls to try out over the long weekend (in Canada ). I got the idea from watching a new video that Liddy had posted on her YouTube channel. It was so simple, quick, and no art talent required to make this cut out nail look. All you need is some nail polishes, bobby pin, toothpick, tape and scissors. You can try out this nail design with whatever colours to make your nails look fun! I had tried using red and blue colour combo which I really like. Best part about this design is it's not time consuming and it looks kind of fancy. Here is the process of how my nails turned out:

The subsequent equation nevertheless gives an inexpensive approximation of the time to fully demand an empty battery once the conventional CC/CV charging system is utilised:
Even though oil shale has long been utilised as gasoline and to be a source of oil in tiny portions for many years, handful of international locations now generate oil from oil shale on a big business level. Many countries do not need significant oil shale resources, but in These nations around the world that do have sizeable oil shale sources, the oil shale field has not produced due to the fact historically, the price of oil derived from oil shale has become appreciably better than conventional pumped oil.

An induction coil in the electrical auto picks up present-day from an induction coil in the ground of the garage and expenses the vehicle right away. To optimise method performance, the air gap amongst the static coil and the pickup coil could be lessened by reducing the pickup coil in the course of charging and the car should be precisely positioned more than the charging device.
