How is Marijuana Used?
There are many marijuana facts around for how this drug is used, some well-known marijuana facts about its consumption process include:
Smoking: Marijuana or pot can be smoked using water pipes or bongs; this is one of the very well-known marijuana facts.
Joints: These are hand-rolled and are also known as spliff joint. They are smoked.
Blunt: In this case a cigar is half emptied and then filled with marijuana and smoked.
E-cigarettes: A battery powered vapor device. Various different flavors are available.
Beverages: Some people like to brew marijuana leaves as tea and consume it.
Eatables: This is one of the most popular marijuana facts and a lot of pot enthusiasts like to consume brownies, candies and other items with marijuana incorporated in them.
How Does Marijuana Affect the Brain?
One of the least known but popular marijuana facts is how it affects the brain. The endocannabinoid part of the brain is concerned with sensory functions, coordinated movements, memory, thought processing and time perception. Marijuana increases the activity of this area and results in release of dopamine.
The THC or tetrahydrocannabinol is one of the main cannabinoids and it passes from the lungs straight in to the bloodstream. This is then carried by the blood to the brain. The neurons in the brain have cannabinoid receptors, when the THC reaches the brain it gets attached to these receptors. This increases the activity and dopamine is secreted.

Is Marijuana Addictive?
Since marijuana gives you the "high", once you start using it you will want to recreate that "high". Once addicted to this, it can hinder your daily life in multiple ways and it has been observed that even though some users try to stop by recognizing these symptoms they often fail to do so without professional help. It is more prevalent in adolescents than adults. Learn more about the addictive tendencies of marijuana here!
What are the Withdrawal Symptoms of Marijuana?
It is one of the most well-known marijuana facts that while going through the withdrawal process one can experience a lot of obstacles, including:
Appetite loss
Cravings for drug
If one does experience any of the above effects, then they should seek expert advice from their doctor, who may refer you to speak to healthcare experts for help and support on coping with the withdrawal symptoms of marijuana.
Is it Possible that using Marijuana can cause Death?
It is quite unlikely that using marijuana can result in death as it doesn't have such adverse direct implications. But the ill effects that it has on the thought process, time perception and judgement it can very easily lead to injury or death if one is not aware.
Those who smoke cannabis will find that it has the same risks of getting cancer as tobacco smokers. However, studies have also shown that smoking marijuana joints without filter tabs can dramatically increase your chance of getting lung cancer, as more tar and harmful chemicals enter the lungs.
Why is Marijuana Used as Medicine?
Marijuana although not directly used as medicine, some of its components like THC does find some use as a medicinal drug although it has mind-altering effects. It can ease symptoms of nausea in many patients suffering from cancer. Cannabidiol is another such component which is now being studied for its medicinal properties. Some mouth sprays are available in a few countries that consist of these two components for the treatment of multiple sclerosis.
Relation with Cardiovascular Diseases
A study published by the International Journal of Cardiology in 2005 tries to find the action of cannabis as a precipitant in case of cardiovascular diseases. This study revealed that while a young patient is not supposed to suffer from a diffused coronary artery was brought in for myocardial infarction and was known to have been a marijuana smoker. Another patient with a longstanding disease of the coronary artery having critical ischaemia as well, showed precipitation of malignant arrhythmia because of cannabis usage.
In a different case report published in the Journal of Royal College General Practitioners, it was stated that two different effects of cannabis was found. The first one indicated a massive increase in tachycardia (160 beats per minute) followed by a slow decline in heart rate. Secondly the psychological effect it had started out with dysphoria and ended up in highly acute reactions that were psychotic.
The findings of these studies may hint that cannabis use may have links with cardiovascular disease; however more conclusion research and evidence is needed to back this theory. Both of these studies suggest that although there are not enough marijuana facts and sufficient evidence to back that cannabis directly affects cardiovascular diseases but there is enough case based evidence that suggests its use can be really harmful for those that are prone to ischaemic heart diseases.

During Saint Anselm College's 121st commencement exercises on Saturday, May 17, commencement speaker Bob Schieffer addressed 417 members of the class of 2014, and Dr. Steven DiSalvo presided over his first commencement as president.
Dr. DiSalvo thanked the class for making his first year at Saint Anselm a special one, and reminded the graduands that no matter where their journeys take them, they are always welcome on campus. He advised graduates, "While the world around us may move at a rapid speed, I urge you to remember all of those Saint Anselm hours, and find time to cultivate those habits that made your time with us so special."
Bob Schieffer, the award-winning journalist who was the anchor and moderator of the CBS News' Sunday broadcast, "Face the Nation," recalled his many visits to New Hampshire, starting during the 1976 presidential primary season. He has covered nine primaries in the state, and last visited Saint Anselm College in 2007.
"You learn a lot about people reading polls and statistics about them, but you'll never know them as well as when you look into their faces," he said. "That's why I still like to come to New Hampshire, where politicians still have to get out and actually meet people."
While decrying a political system that has become ineffective, and the challenges facing the country both at home and abroad, he urged the graduating class to take heart and not turn away from public service.
"You must demand more from our politics and yourselves. Remember that as tangled up as our politics is today, it has been tangled up before-yet when we step back, we realize that most of the change we experienced at the close of the 20th century was good."
"For all the bad news, the human spirit still prevails," he said. "But it does so only so long as good people are there to nourish and defend it." Read Schieffer's full speech »
Emily Donovan, an education studies major from Braintree, Mass., addressed her fellow graduates. The second child in her family to graduate from the college, she said that when her brother becomes a freshman this fall, it will fulfill her late father's wish for all three of his children to be Anselmians. Read Donovan's full address »

Lyndsay Robinson of Tewksbury, Mass., received the President's Award for Service and Citizenship. In her four years on campus, Robinson was a leader, role model, and activist said Dr. DiSalvo. "She exemplifies what it means to be Anselmian."
Justin Eckilson of Woonsocket, R.I., with a G.P.A. of 3.96, received the Chancellor's Award for the graduate with the highest academic average.
English professor Meoghan Cronin received the award for excellence in faculty accomplishment. She joined the faculty in 1993, and specializes in teaching romantic and Victorian literature.
Honorary doctorates were presented to Bob Schieffer, Richard J. Meelia, and Sr. Sheila O'Neill, ASJC.
Bob Schieffer received an Honorary Doctorate of Journalism.
Richard J. Meelia, a Saint Anselm College trustee, member of the college's class of 1971, and former chairman, president and CEO of Covidien, received an Honorary Doctorate of Laws. Meelia has been a strong supporter of the students' service activities, and the college's center for community engagement bears his name.
Sister Sheila O'Neill, ASJC, Ph.D., first president of Sacred Heart Academy in Hamden, Conn., received an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters.

Oil on Masonite, 8x10 inches
This week has been busy and productive. I'm glad to have just finished the painting 'Transition.' It was a pretty exciting piece for me. I experimented with the colors, working with vibrant blues in the interior and subtle greens in the landscape. I also tried some new things with the composition. I wanted to create a scene that was based both on the real and imaginary that would read realistically. I also loved creating a contrast between the geometric shapes inside and the organic forms outside.
I'm already really looking to starting a new piece!

Monday, the 16th anniversary of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, was marked solemnly by the Trump administration. The day began with a moment of silence at the White House, followed by the president, first lady, and staff traveling to the Pentagon to speak in front of the building and memorial to the plane that crashed into the building, killing 125 people. Trump was joined onstage by Secretary of Defense James Mattis and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Joseph Dunford.Andrew Harrer-Pool/Getty Images Andrew Harrer-Pool/Getty Images
The stage was positioned directly in front of the location where the plane was flown into the building, and the Pentagon unfurled an American flag over the crash site for the speeches.
Mattis began his remarks commemorating the nearly 3,000 lives lost that morning around the country. He then critiqued the "temporizing" of the fight against radical Islam, a veiled shot at the previous administration. Mattis, in his trademark fashion, was blunt, saying, "we Americans are not made of cotton candy. We are not seaweed drifting in the current; we are not intimidated by our enemies."
Mattis then paused, turned away from the podium, and looked directly at Trump and said:
Andrew Harrer-Pool/Getty Images
"Mr. President, your military does not scare."
The grit of the speech marks a stark change in tone from military leaders in the Trump administration. Mattis continued:
"Our nation's troops today are worthy successors of our Revolutionary army at Valley Forge, worthy successors of our valiant sailors at Midway and our Marines at bloody Iwo Jima … men and women of your armed forces America having signed a blank check to the protection of the American people and to the defense of our constitution, a check payable with their very lives, your military stands ready and confident to defend this country, this experiment in democracy."

DELAWARE, Ohio – Although junior Kelvin Jones finished with another double-double performance, the Hiram College men's basketball team dropped their season series finale against Ohio Wesleyan by a final score of 71-62 on Wednesday night.
Jones's double-double marks his twelfth on the season. The center tallied 18 points and ten rebounds in his 29 minutes of play.
The Battling Bishops were led by Ben Simpson, who finished the game with 19 points and ten rebounds. Nate Axelrod and Seth Clark were also key contributors, with each of them adding 14 and 12 points.
Hiram took their largest lead of the game (7) in the first half. At the 14:30 mark, the teams were all tied up at 11. The Terriers then went on a 7-0 scoring run to make the score 18-11 with 11:33 left in the half. Senior Joe Caspio tacked on four of the points and senior Kyle Deckerd posted a three pointer.
The Terriers continued to hold the lead until the 2:56 mark. The Battling Bishops then took the momentum and finished the half on a 10-5 run to take a five-point lead going into halftime (38-33).
Ohio Wesleyan continued to add to their lead in the second half, taking a lead as high as 10 with 7:40 remaining in the contest (62-52). Hiram was able to fight back and come within three points of the Battling Bishops the 2:42 mark (65-62). However, six straight points from Ohio Wesleyan in the final minutes secured the win for the Battling Bishops.
In addition to Jones, Ryan Greenwood was a top scorer for the Terriers. The junior finished with seven points, while Terrence Warren, Jeremiah Thomas, Marcel Rice and Austin Blatt each added five.
The deciding factor of the game was turnovers. Over the course of the game, Hiram turned the ball over 16 times, which converted into 11 points for the Battling Bishops.
The Terriers will be back on the road this Saturday, February 11, when they face the Tigers of Wittenberg University. Tipoff is scheduled for 2 p.m.

AUSTIN – The Texas Department of Transportation today was awarded more than $20 million in federal TIGER* grants to improve transportation services for rural populations. The funding will help replace 325 vehicles located throughout the state that are used to transport rural residents. The funds also will go toward updating or constructing transportation facilities in or near the following Texas cities: South Padre Island, Early, Weatherford and Cedar Creek.
"Our rural residents rely on these transportation services to commute between jobs, school, doctor's appointments and other destinations that help them maintain their independence while also contributing to the economy," said TxDOT Executive Director LtGen Joe Weber, USMC (Ret). "Without this funding, more than 70 percent of the rural fleet used for such transit services would be outdated by 2017. We are pleased to be able to assist these communities in continuing these important transportation services with updated vehicles and facilities designed to keep people moving safely and comfortably."
"We congratulate the citizens of Texas, who are the true winners in obtaining these highly competitive TIGER grant funds," said Federal Transit Administration Acting Administrator Therese McMillan. "The new buses, vans and transit facilities will be a lifeline in rural areas of the state for residents who rely on public transportation and deserve safe and reliable transit services."
With more than 6 million residents living outside urban areas, Texas has the largest rural population in the United States. Between 2000 and 2010, the state's rural population grew by 7.5 percent. Many of the areas served by rural transportation services have populations that are proportionally older, lower income and often have a higher percentage of people with disabilities.
For more information, contact TxDOT Media Relations at firstname.lastname@example.com or (512) 463-8700.
*TIGER = Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery
The Texas Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining 80,000 miles of road and for supporting aviation, rail, and public transportation across the state.

Canada's Youth Face Job Crunch
Posted by Québec de Droite in Chômage, Emploi, Intergénération on mardi 27 mars 2012
Ce que j'aime du Huff Post, c'est la qualité de leurs articles, certainement mieux la multitude articles publiés dans le 'mainstream' qui ont tendance qu'à faire du bruit.
On parle de vrais débats, non du simple copie-coller.
Extrait de: Canada's Youth Face Job Crunch, Huff Post, 03/26/2012
Among the world's biggest economies, Canada's unemployment rate is quite respectable.
Canadian youth, however, might beg to differ.
· Statistical data released earlier this month shows that the country's total jobless rate currently sits at 7.4 percent.
· But for those in the 15-24 age bracket, the figure is 14.7 percent — 27,000 fewer youths have jobs right now than at this time last year.
"We couldn't be that severe and say that Canada has a jobless generation — that would be too alarmist," said Nancy Schaefer, president of Youth Employment Services (YES), the largest organization of its kind in Canada.
"But the situation is bad, because we need our young people in the workforce, we need their energy and new ideas and we need them to pay taxes."
Ne pas oublier, ce sont nos futurs payeurs de taxes.
Organizations like YES are pressing the government and the private sector to take more action by introducing more accessible co-op and professional job placements.
Economist Francis Fong believes today's youth are in a uniquely difficult situation.
"In addition to the fact that youths are facing competition:
· From their own age cohorts,
· They are now facing competition from people who just lost their jobs during the recession and have 20 years of experience in the workforce,"
Fong said.
In a report published March 8 by TD Economics, Fong found that increased competition leads young college and university graduates to take jobs further away from the subject of their degrees, or pulls them out of the labour market altogether.
Même effets désastreux aux États-Unis.
'Boomerang effect'
According to Fong, this creates a "boomerang effect," where university graduates,
1) unable to find jobs in their field of study,
2) retreat into another degree or
3) a job that can support them but doesn't put their training to use.
"The whole process of trying to get to where you wanted to be when you got out of university takes years longer than it used to. Taking a lower wage than you were initially expecting has significant repercussions for your long-term career," said Fong.
He explains in the report that a one-percent rise in unemployment rates leads to a six to seven percent decrease in salary.
"It can take anywhere from 10 upwards to 15 years to close that gap of reduced wages. So your lifetime earnings are substantially lower, for the simple fact that you graduated at the wrong time," Fong said.
Another study, out of the Yale School of Management in 2009, indicates that the timing of a person's entry into the job market will be a direct factor of their success.
Even so, Fong believes Canadian youths still fare better than many of their international counterparts. In European countries like Greece, youth unemployment has reached a desperately high level of 51.1 percent, according to Reuters. For the first time in Greece's history, unemployed youth outnumber employed youth.
Par contre le système financier européen est bien content de la survie de la Grèce dans la zone euro, surtout pour les banques, pour les jeunes Grecs, ils ne sont que du simple bétail humain.
Canadian youth need more help
Schaefer acknowledges that the situation in Canada isn't nearly as bad, but she contends that it's not being adequately addressed, either.
"We know that there are more youths who are unemployed than the recorded 14 percent, because a lot of young people aren't collecting Unemployment Insurance or welfare,"
she said.
Bon Dieu !, il pose de vraies questions.
Only youth who collect UI or welfare are recorded in Canada's unemployment statistics.
One group that is trying to carry youth forward is Ashoka, an international organization that fosters an entrepreneurial spirit among youth and tries to support them in their journey to stable employment.
The organization was established in Washington, D.C., in 1980. Since the first "fellows" — or beneficiaries — were selected in India in 1981, Ashoka has sponsored more than 2,000 fellows in over 60 countries around the world.
Ashoka partners with universities around the country and receives funding from corporate sponsors. This allows them to carry out entrepreneurial boot camps, seminars and assist chosen candidates in developing business action plans.
An entrepreneurial approach
Elisha Muskat, executive director of Ashoka Canada, says the organization's main goal is to create a world where everyone is a "change-maker."
"One of the most important things is for people to carry an idea that it's not just the same traditional jobs that people need to look for, but that there is real opportunity to create something of your own and allow yourself to explore outside the traditional roles that are talked about in the university environment," said Muskat.
"We encourage and support them to build action plans to how they could launch or strengthen something they are already doing," said Muskat. The action plans are then presented to a panel of businesses who decide whether to offer the students up to $1,000 in funding to make their ideas a reality.
Some of the concepts Ashoka has sponsored include an environmental company working to redesign urban spaces, a website providing interactive education tools and an initiative encouraging community involvement in energy conservation.
However bad the current situation may seem for young Canadians, Fong cautions that we've seen worse.
"Looking back to the '90s, job losses were far and above worse, job recovery was worse and we had disenfranchised youth who were rebelling because they had very little opportunity," he said.
For Fong, the silver lining is that the current job market could lead to long-term improvements in the overall workforce.
"If the economic uncertainty acts as a trigger for a lot of people to go back to school and upgrade their skills, our labour force will ultimately be more productive and skilled in the long run.
Good Jobs Few And Far Between
When it comes to evaluating Canadian job growth, the employment numbers are just part of what worries Benjamin Tal, deputy chief economist at CIBC World Markets.
"It's not only the quantity, but also the quality of employment that's falling in Canada,"
says Tal.
"A lot of the jobs that are being created are low-quality, especially part-time jobs and low-paying jobs."
Exacte, même phénomène aux États-Unis, même en ayant plus de
2, 000,000 d'emplois additionnels, la masse salariale globale des employés
américains a baissé, peut-être un emploi, mais moins bien rémunérés.
Though -- unlike the U.S. -- Canada has regained all the jobs lost in the recession, he says that an absence of good-paying jobs is the "main reason" why wages have stagnated. Adjusted for inflation, personal after-tax income is now rising at the slowest rate since 1995.
Meanwhile, the skills mismatch in many jurisdictions has left employers short on skilled labour despite still-high unemployment levels in other regions.
"If you lose a job, you don't have the skill set to go an find a job elsewhere that companies want and need," says Tal.
When Caterpillar decided to stop assembling locomotives in its Electro-Motive facility in London, Ont., it was a poignant reminder of how globalization is giving deep-pocketed, transnational corporations the ultimate trump card in bargaining with workers: a cheaper alternative.
According to Mike Moffatt, a labour expert at the University of Western Ontario's Ivey School of Business, because of automation and an increase in imports from lower wage jurisdictions like China and Mexico, Canadian workers are competing for fewer manufacturing jobs.
"That's given firms real power to negotiate down wages," says Moffatt, who points to the Rio Tinto lockout in Quebec as another illustration of the might afforded to companies with global reach.
Exacte, et bien sur nos médias traditionnels qui appartienne à l'oligarchie ou nos économistes d'université qui ont une sécurité d'emploi à toute épreuve vont vous parler des bienfaits de la mondialisation, pouah !
Since locking out workers at its aluminum smelter in Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean on December 31, the Anglo-Australian mining giant has used non-union workers to operate the facility at one-third capacity. With no plans to return to the bargaining table, the company recently announced it is restarting two suspended lines, and is expecting to return to full capacity in May.
As Tal maintains, "In this environment, the bargaining power of labour is diminishing."
Austerity Agenda
Just as the power has shifted toward private-sector employers, Michael Lynk, a labour law expert at the University of Western Ontario, says there is a sense that governments are becoming emboldened amid the post-recession climate of austerity that has swept from Toronto's City Hall to Parliament Hill.
"There's increasingly an attitude of take-it-or-or leave-it by [private sector] employers, but we may begin to see that with public sector bargaining as well, where they basically say, 'You have to meet our bargaining objectives this round, and we're going to be prepared to endure a short or lengthy lockout to prove our point," he says.
Though global economic instability recently prompted federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty to pull back on his earlier commitment to deep cost-cutting in the upcoming budget, government departments are expecting spending to be slashed by between five and 10 per cent, a goal that will be met at least in part at the expense of public service jobs and benefits.
The Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives recently estimated that the federal government's budget cuts could push unemployment up half a percentage point, to 8 per cent.
Pension Problems
From Dalhousie University to Air Canada, employers no longer able -- or willing -- to fund costly pension plans are mounting attempts to roll back retirement benefits, stoking labour unrest and a growing sense of financial insecurity among workers.
As Dalhouse University labour economist Lars Osberg explains, the financial crisis took a huge bite out of the value of corporate pension portfolios and the interest rate required to generate the stream of returns to make these programs sustainable.
All of which explains why experts anticipate a deepening of the trend away from inflation-protected, gold-plated defined-benefit pension plans, shifting responsibility for retirement savings from employers to workers.
Decline Of Unions
The power in numbers that enabled Big Labour to negotiate better wages and benefits in the aftermath of the Second World War is a distant memory today, as the erosion of unions continues to whittle away the strength of collective bargaining.
This is particularly true in the private sector, where unionization sits at 16 per cent of employees, less than a quarter of public sector unionization.
"I think you will see more disputes with unions having to compromise more than in the past," says Tal. "I really don't see that they have the upper hand at this point."
Given the yawning gap between private and public sector unionization, Lynk warns that pressure on public sector unions could mount as it has in the U.S. in recent months.
"The argument they've been floating is, 'Why should public sector workers have jobs for life, good pensions, and decent wages? They're eating up your taxes,'"
he says.
"I wouldn't be surprised if we're not [starting] to see the beginnings of that kind of argument here in Canada."
Question tout à fait justifiable, quand c'est le secteur privé qui paie la facture.

REcapS System for REAL ESTATE Investors
We have all gone to many different workshops, classes, and other real estate investing programs. Most of which are very valuable…well, as valuable as what you do with it after you walk out the door of the event for the last time. Has this been a frustration for you too? I have always felt that these programs present an incredible amount of knowledge from experienced investors. The problem is, after the event is over, for the most part, the student/investor is on their own. Getting the knowledge is only part of the process of real estate investing. The rest of it is getting the tools, the rest of your team, and actually getting started. A very common question asked of many exiting these events is, "What do I do now?"
The answer is pretty simple…just get started. The biggest obstacle is fear. There is no direction, at least there is no direction with confidence. So, we have come up with a way to smash through this obstacle. We have put a series of classes together with a couple of goals in mind. First, we want to teach our system for real estate investing. Second, we want to have you join us as our partners for your first (or as many times as you want to join us) deal. This way, you can build up your own experience, with us leading the way, and also reap the rewards as a partner in the investment. Oh, and as part of the class, you get a laptop computer, fully loaded with the tools we use when we invest…the ones we teach you in the classes. How does that sound?
Our System
Flip to Hold.
That is our basic philosophy. Buy, Rehab, flip, then use the profits to buy SF homes to cash flow. This isn't really anything revolutionary. This has been going on for centuries, and will continue for centuries…as long as there are people that need to rent, and investors with money to buy, rehab, and rent. Did you notice one of the items I just mentioned…after the "as long as there are" statement? I highlighted it. "With money to buy". That is, and has always been, one of the biggest obstacles to investing in real estate. There are a number of reasons for this:
- Sources for funding are usually hard to find.
- Sources for funding, when found, have what I would refer to as ridiculous criteria to lend (i.e…Hard Money Lenders).
- Sources for funding, when you do find them, and measure up to their criteria, have more ridiculous terms to pay them back.
- …and these source always want what they refer to as "skin in the game"…meaning, in the end, they are not going to give you all the money you need for both buying and rehab.
- On top of all of this, you are depending on the appraiser to value the property high enough to get funding.
Right now, all of this is pretty much going to give you an ulcer. I hate it when I find a great deal, only to not be able to get funding for it. So, I figured out a way to solve the problem. First though, you need to really understand what the problem is…and not be distracted by the symptoms.
The symptoms are everything I listed above as obstacles. The problem is the funding is directly attached to the property and is lien able debt. The solution? Don't use direct asset funding. It really is that simple. We use many sources that fall into this solution, such as Equipment Lease Financing and our access to Hedge Fund Financing (to be discussed in detail in a future Post here. Wait until you see this).
Why is this so important and why is this the perfect solution? Simple. By not being lien able debt, you don't have to pay it back right away when you flip a house…like you would with almost any other type of financing…like Hard Money, a mortgage, etc… This means, you can use these funds over again, and again, and again, and…well, you get the picture. Every flip means you make a profit, and get your principle back (you know, the money you used to buy and rehab the house). Use the principle to buy/rehab another house, and the profits to buy and rehab another house. Repeat this over and over again with each flip. So, one house becomes two, two becomes four, and so on.
Now, I know what you're saying. If the fund you are using is a loan of some type, and it has monthly payments you need to make, how are you making them? The answer is found by using a simple practice used by developers. You take part of the original funds (loan), put it aside in a Cash Reserve, that is to be used specifically to pay these monthly payments, and you are using your loan to fund your loan payments. How much you put in this Reserve is up to you.
The results of this, is the cash reserve buys you time to develop your investments from the rest of the financing to a point where you have a series of houses (repeating), all generating profits to use for profits (cash in your pocket), buying another repeating house, buying a house with cash to hold for cash flow, and putting into the cash reserve to buy you more time to develop your investments even further. Notice how by not having the original funding tied to the property (not lien able), it offers you the freedom to do this.
As a side note, this also means that the cost for funding is reduced per door for every re-use of these funds. This System can be applied to almost anything. We like to use it for properties and for Note Buying, where the profits from the notescan be used to buy the Cash Flow Properties.
Buy with Cash, Refinance to Hold.
That is a variation of our basic philosophy. Buy, Rehab, flip, then use the profits to buy SF homes to cash flow. The difference is we are buying with all cash instead of some type of debt. This isn't really anything revolutionary either. This has been going on for centuries too, and will continue for centuries…as long as there are investors with cash. Most ofthe time investors will want to buy all cash and leave their cash in the property thinking (incorrectly) that it is safer and doing the most good since they have no debt on their property and 100% equity. They would be wrong. Equity is where an investor's cash goes to "die". It has no use or value until you tap into it either selling the house (now why would you sell a perfectly good cash flowing house only to buy another) or by refinancing the house to get some of that equity out. We choose that latter. That way, we can re-use that original cash again (and again, and again, and…), but get to keep the house AND the cash flow from it. Yes, the cash flow goes down, but if you are using the same cash on the next house you will recover that "lost" cash flow there, plus even more on each subsequent refinancing. All of those houses are using the same cash. In the end, when you refinance the last house, you get your cash back…never spending it…just using/moving it from one house to the next…then out.

MetroPCS Goes National, Turns On 4G in LA and Philly
MetroPCS joined competitors Cricket and US Cellular today in offering free nationwide coverage to the carrier's subscribers, and announced that it has turned on its 4G LTE network in both Philadelphia and Los Angeles.
Metro's new Metro USA plan lets MetroPCS subscribers talk, text, and access some Web services in parts of 48 states - everywhere except Alaska and Montana, according to the carrier's coverage map. That doesn't mean they cover all of each state. Only the eastern half of Kansas is part of the plan, for example, and much of rural southern Georgia, northern Wisconsin, and northern Michigan seem to be out, according to the carrier's Web-based coverage map (shown above; click on it for a larger version).
People in the newly covered areas can't sign up for MetroPCS service. Like with Cricket and US Cellular, this is basically a free roaming deal. MetroPCS subscribers can also roam in the rest of the country, beyond the Metro USA areas, for 19 cents per voice minute.
MetroPCS, Cricket, and US Cellular are making these deals because they don't have licenses to sell service across the whole country, but they want to offer service that's competitive to the four, big national carriers. Cricket will take things a step further next year when it starts selling service outside its own territories that use the Cricket brand, but on the Sprint network.
Metro also turned on 4G LTE in Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and Bakersfield, CA today. The company still has one 4G phone, the Samsung Craft. The new cities join Dallas, Detroit, and Las Vegas, which already had LTE service. According to MetroPCS's Web site, 4G will "soon" come to Atlanta, Boston, New York City, Sacramento, San Francisco, and much of Florida as well.
MetroPCS's 4G plan is very inexpensive at $55-60 per month, but service so far is much like you'd expect on other carriers' 3G. That's because Metro's goals for 4G are different from other carriers'. MetroPCS never had 3G at all, so it's using relatively slow 4G services to catch up with the 3G media and video services offered by its competitors.
"MetroPCS is committed to meeting consumers' demands relating to the small screen, and has plans to introduce new handsets and smartphones in the future," the company said in a press release.
MetroPCS is the fifth-largest wireless carrier in the U.S., with 7.9 million subscribers. The company's licenses cover about 146 million Americans.

Many people prefer cannabidiol edibles over tinctures and versions that are smoked. There are a wide variety of edibles that are available and you'll love the options that you have. Gummies are one great option and they come in 5mg as well as 10 mg. They also come in sour gummies and hard candies.
How to Use Gummies/Edibles
Edibles and gummies are infused with CBD. They come in 5 and 10 mg dosages that you can eat in lieu of other forms of taking CBD.
Instead of smoking or vaping the product, you eat the product when you need to take a dose.
Eating gummies or edibles is easy and the products appear to be any other product and won't draw attention to you.
Why Choose Edibles?
There are many times where you're out in an area that doesn't allow smoking or you prefer to be discreet. Taking your gummies or other edibles along with you is an ideal way to discreetly take your CBD and resolve your medical concern without having to smoke the CBD.
No one has to know your medical condition but you, an edible may look just like any other snack, only you have to know that it's treating a medical condition.
Edibles deliver the CBD in either 5 or 10 mg and you can take them with you anywhere discreetly.
Choosing edibles over smoking will deliver the product directly to your digestive system where it will immediately begin to work. Other products may take longer to kick in and work for your medical needs.
How Are Edibles Made?
- Edibles and gummies are tested to ensure that they are of the highest quality and deliver a pure product.
- No harsh chemicals are ever used in the making of edibles.
- All of the gummies are CBD infused, not coated so you can rest assured that you're getting a real dosage of CBD and not just a coating of it. This makes for a more reliable product and a more reliable dosage.
- All of the products are completely organic.
- No pesticides are ever used to grow any of the ingredients in our products.
- No herbicides are ever used in growing any of our ingredients.
How Edibles Benefit The Body
- Edibles deliver the CBD directly to your digestive system and will kick in quickly to help your body with your medical issue.
- When CBD oil is smoked or vaped it must first pass through the bloodstream and may take longer to reach the digestive system.
- Patients that are too young to smoke or vape the products can usually take an edible.
Useful Information
Gummies are an ideal option when you need the CBD in your system, but prefer not to smoke it.
Since CBD helps many patients with seizures edibles are a great option when you need to get the product into a younger patient or a patient who won't smoke it or use the oil.
Cannabis is an individualized treatment. Choosing the right product is important to treating a variety of medical conditions.
CBD works well for anxiety, spasms, seizures, depression, and will have to be individualized for each patient. What works well for one patient may not work at all for another. Finding the delicate balance or ratio of CBD and THC is somewhat of an art. Always start with the smallest dose possible and if that doesn't work after two hours, take another dose.
Often, it takes a combination dose of CBD and THC to have a therapeutic effect. Choosing edibles helps to balance out the amount of CBD and THC that are being taken.

New Jersey motorists have known for years that they have to buckle up or face the consequences. Signs that say "Click It or Ticket" are now quite familiar. However, the New Jersey Legislature has recently amended the provisions of the seat belt law to require that all occupants of a passenger automobile, including adults who are seated in the rear, use a seat belt. Under the prior law, adults seated in the rear of a passenger automobile were not required to do so. There are some exceptions, however. The law does not apply to a driver or front seat passenger of:
- A passenger automobile manufactured before July 1, 1966;
- A passenger automobile in which the driver or passenger possesses a written verification from a licensed physician that the driver or passenger is unable to wear a safety seat belt system for physical or medical reasons;
- A passenger automobile which is not required to be equipped with a safety seat belt system under federal law;
- A passenger automobile operated by a rural letter carrier of the United States Postal Service while performing the duties of a rural letter carrier; or
- A passenger automobile which was originally constructed with fewer safety seat belt systems than are necessary to allow the passenger to be buckled.:
The good news is that, as far as enforcement goes, seat belt violations by rear seat passengers are secondary offenses, meaning that police must stop the vehicle for a different violation before issuing a summons and complaint for this offense. The driver also does not pay. Each rear seat passenger 18 years of age or older shall be responsible for any fine imposed. The law takes effect immediately, so be sure to check everyone in your car to be sure they bucked up before you turn the ignition key; you will be doing them a favor if you are later stopped.

I'm Patty Lynch APF-I, owner of Whole Horse Hoof Care Farrier Services in Maryland. I began my professional hoof care career in 2005. I believe in the, "Barefoot when possible, shoes when necessary" approach to hoof care. I specialize in therapeutic, balanced horseshoeing of all breeds and disciplines ( but particularly dressage) as well as barefoot trims. I also particularly love working on founder cases. It is my philosophy that all horses deserve a caring team of an owner, farrier and veterinarian that work together for the benefit of the horse.
I'm a proponent of barefoot horses as long as the individual horse is comfortable without shoes. Barefoot is advantageous to the horse because the foot is in its natural state, contacting the ground as a proper weight bearing platform for the animal. Any time you can keep anything the way nature intended it, I believe it's better. Shoes, when applied correctly, however, can compensate for what nature didn't provide the animal or what the animal requires. Today, we have many options to choose from to give the horse the most comfort, reduce chance of injury, and obtain best performance. These include steel, aluminum, composite and polyurethane to name a few. Priorities should be taken into consideration for the goal of the horse as to what product will be best.
I assess the needs, conditions, internal and external factors of each horse before deciding what if anything to apply to the horse. I strongly consider the anatomy of the foot, living conditions and biomechanics in making my decision. If the horse would be better off without shoes, I again make a decision as to which trim will be best.
As an accredited member of the American Association of Professional Farriers, I value continuing education. Investing in knowledge is important in this rapid changing industry. I am also a proud member of the Northeast Association of Equine Practitioners
I only accept discerning owners into my practice as all horses in my practice are treated as they were my own. I am very dedicated to my job and to my clients. I work long hours to ensure that every horse I treat gets the best hoof care possible

Have a Fabulous Birthday
I have been messing around with watercolours so this challenge fits right in. The stamp is from Penny black called Divine and was such fun to colour. I heat embossed the image with white embossing powder and then just played with different colours. Used a paint set I bought from my local Hot Dollar store ages ago and though they are not the greatest I had fun. Watercolouring is fun as you do not want it to be perfect and I love the patterns the paint creates. Different every time. The sentiment is from Stampin' ups Thoughtful Banners set. It is great for making up your own sayings as the words are all separate. I white embossed it on black card to give the card some contrast.
I am entering the card into the Cas Game #84 Watercolour challenge.
I am also adding it to Uniko Studio Happy 5th Birthday party Link.

In the early 1990s, a small group of automobile enthusiasts banded together to organize the Philadelphia Vintage Grand Prix which was held in Fairmount Park. The event was well attended, and the roster of vintage competitors was impressive. However, several factors caused the event to end after a few years of operation. That enthusiast group then started to think of another way to bring these wonderful vintage vehicles together for the public to enjoy. The idea was to create a concours d'elegance, inviting only the most interesting and significant automobiles for display and judging on the concours show field.
Michael G. Tillson III was one of those organizers. In 1997, Michael and his fellow enthusiasts decided to bring together classic cars and the world of horses and fox hunting – by staging a benefit Concours d'Elegance at the Radnor Hunt in the rolling country of Chester County, Pennsylvania. Over the years, the event has grown from it's humble beginnings with a handful of exceptional cars, to a showfield of one hundred entries chosen by the Car Selection Committee.
In 2005, vintage motorcycles were added to the show field, making Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance the first nationally ranked event of its type to include motorcycles. The addition of horse drawn coaches and carriages in 2007 made Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance the only concours to feature the earliest forms of wheeled transportation.
Radnor Hunt Concours d'Elegance has grown from its humble beginnings to a three-day event that includes a Friday Night Barbecue, the Chester County Road Rally and Black Tie Gala on Saturday evening which culminate in the main event on Sunday; the concours d'elegance. Today, this is an event with show field entries from all over the country, and vehicle nominations that exceed the capacity of the grounds. The Marketplace features vendors of both automotive and lifestyle interests to round out the Sunday activities. Proceeds from the event benefit two local non-profit organizations; Thorncroft Equestrian Center in Malvern, PA and the local Boy Scout troops.

The Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015 (RPSI) establish the UK framework for the re-use of public sector information. Re-use means using public sector information, for a purpose other than the initial public task it was produced for.
The purpose of RPSI is to make information easier to re-use, resulting in economic, social and civil benefits. Information produced, held or disseminated by public sector bodies constitutes a vast, diverse and valuable pool of resources.
RPSI applies to public sector bodies including local government, but also includes the cultural sector to include libraries (including Anglia Ruskin University Library) museums and archives. It is UK-wide, i.e it applies to public sector bodies in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Anglia Ruskin University Library is required to comply with the Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015. These regulate how information the library holds or creates is made available for re-use. The regulations require that the library publishes a Public Task Statement and a list of documents available for re-use; an Information Asset List.
Unlike other public sector bodies, libraries and other cultural institutions are not obliged to allow re-use but may permit re-use. It is important to remember that RPSI does not apply to information that would be exempt from disclosure under information access legislation ie the Data Protection Act (the DPA), the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR).
However, information that would be exempt from an access request under section 21 of FOIA because it is already reasonably accessible to the requester (for example because it is on our website) would normally be available for re-use.
RPSI does not apply to recorded information that Anglia Ruskin University Library holds if someone else owns the intellectual property rights (eg the copyright or database right). We can only permit re-use if we hold the intellectual property rights to the information.
We will usually make a reasonable charge for providing this service.

This is what the Confederacy fought for when they broke from the country, these are Battle Standards flown by those who fought to keep slavery intact. It is not Patriotic to fly the Confederate Flag, it is an act of open rebellion and disrespectful to America. These are the Facts. This is History. The Confederate Flag is the same as the Nazi Flag and the ISIS Flag in that they represent the Evil in People. The Monuments dedicated to Civil War Villains gives Honor to the Evil in People. Should we glorify people who warred to own other people. The Answer is unequivocally emphatically NO.

2 cups flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
Put the vinegar into the bottom of a 1 cup measuring cup, then fill the rest of the cup with the almond milk. Allow to sit for about 20 minutes. This is your buttermilk.
Preheat the oven to 375.
In a stand mixer or mixing bowl with hand mixer, stir together the flour, salt and baking soda. Slowly add in the buttermilk and mix on medium-high until it turns into a sticky ball. Continue mixing for another minute.
In a loaf pan sprayed with a light mist of cooking spray, press the sticky dough mixture into the bottom of the pan. Score a big "x" into the top of the dough about 1/2" deep. Bake for 30-32 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean and the crust is very brown. Slice and serve as desired.
Shown is a piping hot slice with a generous pat of Earth Balance. Mmmmm. I plan on eating a slice tomorrow morning with strawberry preserves slathered over it.

It is with great sadness that I learned of the death on 24 July 2018 of Reg Beck, VE7IG. Reg had served as IOTA checkpoint for Canada since 2003, carrying out the role conscientiously and with great care. He stepped down in March this year for personal reasons. As long as I can recall, he showed himself to be a passionate supporter and friend of the IOTA Programme although he put as much into several other award programmes and was amongst the top achievers in all of them. In recent years he operated at times as VE1DXA from his daughter's home in Nova Scotia from where he activated a number of IOTA groups. He was a real IOTA enthusiast who will be sadly missed. The IOTA Community expresses heart-felt thanks to our friend Reg and passes sincere condolences to his family.

Choosing the proper alcohol and drug treatment facility in Kingston is the central element in the process of treating of substance abuse, addiction and alcoholism. The following data will help ensure you fully grasp your numerous rehabilitation options so that you have the maximum probability of a successful final result.
Let's have a look at the many drug rehabilitation centers in Kingston, New Hampshire possibilities that coincide with the condition of the individual looking for rehab.
Inpatient drug rehab in Kingston, AB. is a treatment option best for many who will need health-related intervention during treatment or clients with considerable drug abuse histories. People will experience mental and physical dependence to drugs and alcohol even after a brief amount of time, so inpatient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Kingston is considered the most reliable rehab option in the majority of situations. As a result of substance abuse and addiction, women and men will often not be able to recover with the limited services provided by outpatient rehab facilities in Kingston, New Hampshire where drugs and alcohol remain easily obtainable when they depart the outpatient facility. In addition, individuals in treatment who receive outpatient rehabilitation as an alternative to inpatient alcohol and drug rehab in Kingston are still vulnerable to negative influences and conditions which can get in the way of their process of recovery. When someone lives with an abusive partner or continues to maintain relationships which entail drug abuse, any rehab activities in outpatient treatment will be in vain. For this reason in-patient drug rehab in Kingston, AB. is going to generate more tangible results that may prove lasting as opposed to an outpatient drug rehabilitation center where advantages are often very limited and short-lived.
In Kingston there is both short-term and long-term inpatient drug and alcohol treatment. Short-term is often a 30-day center, while long-term inpatient drug and alcohol treatment in Kingston, New Hampshire is more in depth and rehab can last 90-120 days generally speaking. This is an excellent environment for clients as it is a secure drug free environment where they are able to recover both mentally and physically without interruptions. Ideally, women and men will continue in the long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehabilitation center in Kingston for the maximum time frame allowed, in order to handle anything which might cut across their abstinence once they depart rehab. Due to the fact detoxing and becoming physically stable can require a couple weeks by itself, the 3-6 months in long-term in-patient drug and alcohol treatment in Kingston is going to be time well spent and much more effective than short-term facilities.
The most crucial component of all if you or someone you love has a drug abuse or addiction concern is to get it resolved right away, make calls and talk to skilled addiction specialists and have an assessment and rehabilitation options to ensure the biggest chance for a full recovery.

A new CNN/ORC poll conducted before Thanksgiving underscores just how confident the American people are in their elected representatives: more than two-thirds of respondents believe lawmakers will behave like "spoiled children" during the budget negotiations slated to begin in earnest this week (via National Journal):
Roughly 24 percent said the country would face a crisis and 44 percent said the country would face major problems if the tax increases and spending cuts set to enact early next year are allowed to take hold. Just 24 percent think it would cause minor problems.
Fully 77 percent said it would impact their personal finances, and more than 70 percent called for Republicans and President Obama to compromise to find a solution. If talks fail, however, the poll suggests Republicans would receive greater blame. And respondents apparently don't have much confidence in the outcome.
When asked if "elected officials in Washington will behave mostly like responsible adults or mostly like spoiled children," 67 percent chose the latter.
When asked about solutions, 67 percent said they want to see a budget plan with a combination of spending cuts and tax increases, while just 29 percent want spending cuts only. Fifty-six percent said taxes on the wealthy should be kept high, while 36 percent think taxes for the wealthy should be kept low.
Obama has called for an increase in the tax rates on the wealthiest Americans, while extending the Bush-era tax cuts for the lower- and middle-class citizens. Republicans have said recently that they would consider additional revenues, though they want to generate them by closing loopholes in the tax code rather than raising tax rates.
The poll was conducted with 1,023 Americans between Nov. 16 and 18, with a margin of error of 3 percentage points.
This is (at least) the second poll we've seen in which the GOP will ultimately be blamed if the negotiations fail and sequestration cuts are implemented. Splendid. Perhaps this is why some congressional Republicans are putting revenue increases on the table and planning to violate Grover Norquist's anti-tax pledge in order to strike a bipartisan agreement.

a gene that is linked to high blood pressure, improving personalized treatments for heart patients.
Treating people with high blood pressure first requires identifying the genes that drive the normal formation of the heart. Although researchers have begun that process, they haven't yet captured all the "ingredients" – the different genes – that could help repair specific areas of the heart, such as valves. The University of Ottawa's Mona Nemer is accelerating our understanding of those ingredients. Working with researchers at the University of Ottawa Heart Institute and networks in Montreal, England and Australia, she identified a gene called GATA5 that interferes with blood pressure regulation by causing defects in small blood vessels.
Her discovery promises to improve personalized treatments for heart patients.
