Is Cannabis the New Gold?
One aspect of the legalization of cannabis, is its entrance into the world of asset trading. A lot is being said about cannabis as a commodity, especially in comparison to gold. Which is worth more, and can cannabis show the same stability as gold over time?
Everyone knows of terms like the 'gold standard', and some of us might already know that our badly inflated currency (almost doesn't matter which country you're in when you read this) used to be backed by gold. There are reasons for this. Gold has maintained its value continuously, over time, and through changing markets, giving it a strength not known to many commodities. While cannabis is an entirely different thing, it's value might just be tantamount to gold.

What's a commodity?
First thing to understand is the definition of a commodity. "A commodity is a basic good used in commerce that is interchangeable with other goods of the same type. Commodities are most often used as inputs in the production of other goods or services. The quality of a given commodity may differ slightly, but it is essentially uniform across producers." All of the following are examples of commodities: coffee, oil, steel, cows, honey, corn, cotton, diamonds, gold, and cannabis.
What do we do with commodities?
We buy and sell them. Most people are familiar with the idea of a stock market, even if they've never invested. Stocks, are essentially tiny shares of a larger company, and when an investor buys them, they're buying a share in that company which comes with a share of the profit if the company makes one, and which is subject to losses if the company loses value. So, if someone has a share of Google, they own a tiny smidgen of that company.
Of course, buying a share of Google, and buying a bar of gold are two different things, and they're traded in different places. Commodities – which are split into two groups: hard commodities like gold that must be extracted or mined from the ground, or soft commodities like corn or goats that pertain to agriculture and livestock, are traded in about 50 markets across the world.
Much like stock prices which we know can rise and fall depending on how a company is doing, commodity prices are much the same. When the reaction to the coronavirus was at its peak in April, oil for the first time in history recorded negative prices. For example, on April 20th, according to West Texas Intermediate which sets a benchmark for oil prices in America, oil prices for the day started at +$17.85 per barrel and ended the day at -$37.63.
It made sense, of course. People weren't driving, so the price dropped. Too much supply, not enough demand. Just like if there's a drought, and wheat can't grow as well, the value of any available wheat goes up because the supply has diminished, but the demand has not.
Gold as a commodity
No one ever said gold was the most stable commodity, or that it's the one you'd want the most in all situations. Think of a post-apocalyptic world for a second. Would you rather have a bar of gold and nothing to do with it, or supplies for purifying water or starting a fire, or actual food? Situations are certainly relevant to the value of a commodity, and whereas gold might not cut it in post-apocalyptic times, it has stayed relatively stable over many decades, leading it to be known as a commodity that more easily retains its value across time and situations.
Turmeric, Charcoal and Gold Among Today's CBD Products
Why does gold retain its value? Part of it is psychological at this point. It's been associated with currency for literally thousands of years. It's associated with high end Jewelry, and luxury in general. It's been used to adorn royalty, and wars have been fought over it. It has been used as a part of cultural tradition all over the world. But these things don't give it an actual value beyond the belief we put in it, much like the currency we use today which is nothing more than paper without belief in it as money.
Gold has more realistic attributes that give it value though. It's non-toxic, which means it can be used in places like dental fillings, and it's biocompatible and won't hurt the human body. It's a highly efficient conductor of electricity and it doesn't corrode, which means it's good for all kinds of electronic equipment. Gold has medicinal value, going back at least 2,500 years to Ancient China where it was used to treat things like ulcers and smallpox. It also has the ability to be made into incredibly flat sheets creating gold leaf which can be used in decoration of all kinds, and taken internally.
Gold's ability to stabilize temperatures and reflect radiation make it very useful in spacecrafts and spacesuits. Gold is far more rare than metals that are easily found like copper, and zinc, and this has helped it retain its value as well. These are just some of the reasons that gold does serve a practical purpose that earns it its value. This graph shows the basic movements of gold over the last few years. It's not a straight line across, and would likely never be. But it stays within certain parameters, and generally doesn't leave them.
Cannabis as a commodity
The first thing to remember about cannabis, is that's what hemp is. Hemp has, through history, been one of the most valued commodities for its massive versatility. In colonial America there were even grow laws requiring farmers to cultivate the plant because of all its uses. From building and insulating houses, to making boats, to using it for clothing, ship sales, paper, in cosmetics, and even as a form of gasoline. And this doesn't include its value as a medicine (and a way to feel good).
All aspects of cannabis have been used through history, whether as medicines, as part of religious practices, and for industrial purposes. Cannabis has the ability to grow in many different climates, and technically doesn't need a lot of help, hence it's slang term: weed. This means that it's readily available even without cultivation, globally. Even without current marijuana markets, cannabis through hemp is an incredibly valued commodity.
The medicinal and recreational markets for cannabis present some other issues which could cause a problem for cannabis as a commodity. The main one is pricing. Now, I've been a cannabis user for 20 years. I've bought it in the black market hundreds of times and I've bought from dispensaries as well. Here's my basic thought on marijuana pricing – it stays about the same. For the last 20 years, it has cost no more or less than about $50 for 1/8 of decent quality pot.
U.S. Cannabis Price – Which Is The Most Expensive State?
The fact that I paid the same thing across two decades, for the same quality product, across different states in the US, and different countries in the world, says quite a bit. Does it mean this is an airtight truth of marijuana pricing? No, not really. But it's also not nothing. What I buy is usually the mid-level. There's way better stuff that will always cost more, and what others refer to as 'ditch weed' to describe a much seedier (literally), less strong variety that will always cost less.
The pricing on all three has remained stable through my cannabis-using life. I've watched other prices in life go up and down through time, but I've always gotten to smoke for the same price. This is important because the bottom and middle price points are being generally ignored in product pricing and the introduction of high taxes in dispensaries. These are issues that could make cannabis as a legal commodity lose value, but it doesn't mean it would lose any value in the black market. In this sense, marijuana is extremely stable. So stable, that pricing above the standard and expected price, will likely only result in a bolstered black market at the same stable prices.
The last thing to remember is that cannabis cultivation was maintained around the world, for thousands of years, even during prohibitions. And this says a lot too. It says that the value of this plant remains, even when not one country legally permits it.
How do gold and cannabis compare?
Gold and cannabis both have long histories of use in the world in which they have retained value throughout thousands of years of history. They both have religious uses, industrial uses, medicinal uses, and personal value uses. Neither has shown to diminish in these values over time.
In terms of stability in today's markets, cannabis only just entered the legal trading markets. As a new addition, prices are all over the place, and there hasn't been enough time for prices to stabilize, or to make real comparisons yet to gold. Comparisons right now in stock prices for relevant companies miss the point of comparing and contrasting the overall stability of the commodities, something that can't be done without time for measurement.
While the hemp market should surely stabilize out more quickly, making for a good comparison point, how the medicinal cannabis and recreational cannabis markets will go – and how valuable company stocks will be over time – remains to be seen. If companies continue to price their products above black market pricing, the legal medicinal and recreational industries will likely hit a price-point ceiling, as has already been indicated by numerous stories complaining about larger black markets in LA and Canada.
This will affect stock prices for associated companies, and it won't matter how much people want to smoke cannabis, since they don't need a legal market to do it. In that sense, gold has more stability in legal markets for now, since most people will use legal markets for gold over its black market counterpart, whereas the same cannot be said for medicinal and recreational cannabis.
You can't grow gold, and most people aren't living the kind of life where going out to mine it personally is an option. On the other hand, should I want, I can grow a cannabis plant pretty easily on my own. Very different modes of acquisition, but I personally see the two as similar in terms of their appeal, staying power, and overall consistency, though I'm not necessary talking about legal markets.
You see, cannabis might be one of the most consistent commodities, but it doesn't mean it has to act this way in legal trading markets. And maybe that's the takeaway. Maybe gold and cannabis already represent the same kind of general stability over time in the world, but there's no rule that said this stability had to transfer over to legal markets.

If you're looking for cheap, nice and unpretentious beach holidays, Bulgaria might just be the place to go. I visited the seaside resorts of Albena and Golden Sands, located in the Northwestern part of the country, for a brief but relaxing trip. Other attractions in the area include the pretty botanical gardens in Balchick and the scenic Cape Kaliakra. A stop at the Dalboka Mussel Farm might also be worth your while. I also stayed at the Lighthouse Golf & Spa Resort, and visited the Thracian Cliffs and Blacksearama resorts - all three were beautiful and I was positively impressed.

Xbox Live Gold members get a pack of April free games, no April Fools' here
Assassin's Creed: Syndicate
Of course, Xbox Live Gold membership means these games aren't really hundred per cent free, but they're free enough to satisfy our love towards cheapskating as a sport. This time around, uncle Microsoft has got four titles for its players.
First in line is The Witness, Thekla, Inc's 3D stylish puzzler, which only launched some two years ago. The game has you running around various panels containing puzzles, which grants you further access into the world of The Witness.
Thekla, Inc. The Witness
Note that The Witness was launched to great critical acclaim and is lauded by many as a must-play masterpiece even today. Seeing as how it's free - you owe it to yourself to at least give it a go.
Next up is Assassin's Creed Syndicate, Ubisoft's take on blade wielding conspiracies of the Victorian era London. You may recall the instalment, if for nothing else, then for the grappling hook it brought to Ubisoft's Assassin's Creed franchise.
With the Syndicate having launched slightly upwards of two years ago, it's well worth revisiting the Assassin's Creed franchise over. That's if you played it - if you haven't, it's time to question your choices in life.
The remaining two games are Xbox 360 games and Microsoft say you can play them on Xbox One with backward compatibility. They may not be as enticing as the Xbox One freebies, but they're worth a look.
First up is Disney and Pixar's Cars 2, a racing game based on the animated movie bearing the same name. The Cars 2 game is notable for having all the actors featured in the movie, although it didn't fare as well when viewed through the racing-game lenses. Of course, there was no free in the title, which most certainly would've helped.
Last but most certainly not least is EA's and Visceral Games' Dead Space 2, scifi horror game that may be the oldest game of the bunch, but may well be the first game you should sink your cheap teeth into.
Dead Space 2 is widely regarded as one of the best game sequels to be found and now being one of the free-est ones, it's a no brainer.

Choosing an outstanding tax relief company is quite challenging. However, all you need is to know the signs of a competent tax relief company. Reading this article will help you know whether a tax relief company has all that is needed to represent you before the IRS.
Check if a tax relief company offers a money back guarantee. Most tax relief companies offer an initial consultation for free but only a few offers a money back guarantee should you not satisfied with their services. These guarantees are attached to the money you use the time your case is under investigation. A money back guarantee benefits because you are sure the tax relief company you are working with is confident regarding its services being quality. Additionally, you get quality time to determine which tax relief company has what it takes without risking your money.
Ensure you are keen on the services a potential tax relief company offers. There is a variety of tax relief services such as IRS audit defense, collection appeal, the statute of limitations, penalty abatement, and more. Some companies are categorical on the tax relief services they provide. This may be due to reasons like lack of necessary training or interest in dealing with tax relief strategies that are not only faster but those with a broader profit margin. If a relief companies offer IRS audit and deals with state and federal taxes choose it because this indicates it can deal with complicated cases.
Ensure you go for a tax relief company with sensible promises. Even though a tax relief company is in a position to assist you in reducing your debt drastically, arranging for affordable installment programs, and waiving penalties, a lot lies on the IRS' determination and your financial situation. Tax professionals have the skill to help you present your case as well as apply for stunning tax relief programs but are not best placed to amend facts of your case. If you find a tax relief company making claims of reducing your tax debt or solving your tax issues, make sure you do not hire them. Be very cautious of companies making outrageous claims and need you to pay before they begin working on your case.
Make sure you check the payment options offered by a tax relief company. Depending on the complexity of your tax problem, a licensed tax relief company that hires tax attorneys and enrolled agents is going to charge between $2,000 and $10,000. However, you may not be having this kind of money with you. Select a tax relief company that provides the options of flexible payments with no interest charges.


My daily commute involves a four mile bike ride to a bus stop. Two miles of the route are on a four lane road with no bike lane and heavy car traffic. On my return trip, it's often dark out. Feeling safe, and being safe, are my top priorities. I use bright front and rear flashing lights. I follow a "I'd rather be safe than right" mantra when interacting with other road users. And I ride at a safe pace (say, when car traffic is clogged, I don't whiz between them and the parked cars at top speed). But I don't wear a whole lot of reflective gear (just reflective bands around my ankles). In order to feel safe on my bike, it's reassuring to know that people driving can see me well. In many parts of Los Angeles, people driving are not used to encountering many people bicycling, and they're eager to get home after a long day of work. There's little point in making them strain to see me.
In my opinion, the California Vehicle Code's bicycle safety requirements are inadequate (white headlight, rear reflector, side reflectors on pedals). Even when fully complying, you may not be especially visible to others. And if you fail to include one of those elements, you're basically invisible from some angles. In Los Angeles, Operation Firefly is a great program, wherein volunteers hang out on a corner and stop people who are bicycling without lights. Then they give them a free set of lights! Great program. Lights can be expensive; they can be stolen; they can break. There are many reasons why people aren't properly set up with gear.
Luckily, you don't need special bicycle gear or expensive technology to add more reflective material. Just buy a roll of 3M Scotchlite reflective tape, and get creative! Now, my bike isn't fancy, and so I have no qualms about covering it with tape. If you do, you can cut the strips into really small shapes and place them discretely on the bike. And you can buy colors that match your bike. The cool thing about reflective tape is that it only works when a light is shining directly on it. Otherwise it looks like normal tape, and can blend in fairly well.
I bought a roll of 1 inch x 20 feet 8830 Silver Marking Film – 3M™ Scotchlite™ Reflective Material. I got it on Ebay. And I used probably 3/5 of the roll. The image above shows how my bike looks in daylight, and how it looks with a light reflected on it. Remarkable difference. As you can tell, I covered much of the frame. I tried to get all angles, and I added some to the pedal crank so that a moving part is reflective. As far as I can tell, other road users are well aware of me.
If you want to get more creative, you can cut the tape into interesting shapes. Some bicycle part manufacturers already sell small reflective stickers in shapes. But a set of stickers is much more costly than a roll of tape from ebay. Perhaps Operation Firefly, or another safety program, can start giving away a few feet of reflective tape. It could also be popular at school-based bicycle safety programs.

Coaches selected for 2012 Warrior Games
By Mike Reid
(Courtesy photo) Maj. James Bales, 21st Force Support Squadron orthopedic surgeon currently on staff at the U.S. Air Force Academy Hospital, was named the head coach for the U.S. Air Force 2012 Warrior Games team. The games take place April 30-May 5 at the U.S Air Force Academy. Bales was the U.S. Air Force Male Athlete of the Year for 2010 and is part of the USAF World Class Athlete Program, which allows him to train for the 2012 Olympic Trials and Olympic Games.
By Eric M. Grill
Air Force Personnel, Services and Manpower Public Affairs
SAN ANTONIO — An orthopedic surgeon who is part of the 21st Space Wing has been tapped to be the head coach for the U.S. Air Force 2012 Warrior Games team during the competition slated for April 30-May 5 at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
Maj. James Bales, 2010's Air Force Male Athlete of the Year and part of the 21st Force Support Squadron, will coach the 2012 team assisted by Cami Stock, from Colorado Springs, who is returning for her third year of Warrior Games.
Bales, the 2011 upright cycling coach and team physician, called it an honor to lead this year's team.
"I have always had a huge respect for the sacrifices our wounded warriors have made," he said. "Being the head coach for Warrior Games combines my passion for sports, medicine and coaching."
Bales maintains the games are not about medals, but helping wounded warriors recover from injury.
"At the end of the day, it is about looking back and seeing how far wounded warriors have come, and celebrating their triumph over their injuries," he said. "Warrior Games is about each wounded warrior competing at the best of his or her ability."
Besides the head and assistant coaches, there are different coaches for the individual track and field, cycling, swimming, archery, shooting, volleyball and basketball competitions.
The 2012 coaches are:
Cycling Recumbent/Shooting (Assistant) — Maj. Scott Bullis, Headquarters Air Force Space Command.
Cycling Upright — Master Sgt. Anthony Milunas, Lackland AFB, Texas
Swimming — Anthony Boettcher, U.S. Air Force Academy, Colo.
Sitting Volleyball — Capt. Nicki Marino, U.S. Air Force Academy Preparatory School
Field — Capt. Steven Lizzol, Hurlbert Field, Fla.
Track — John Zavada, Colorado Springs, Colo.
Wheelchair Basketball — Willie Jackson, Rockdale, Texas
Shooting (WCAP-Air Pistol) — Senior Airman Alex Callage, 21st FSS.
Archery — Gary Fooshee, Colorado Springs, Colo.
"From professional-level athletes and recovery care coordinators for the athletes, to the wounded, ill and injured themselves, we have a very diverse group of volunteers," said Master Sgt. Elisha Abercrombie, Warrior Games action officer at the Air Force Services Agency. "This is an experience of a lifetime for all involved."
The 2012 Air Force Warrior Games team will be determined after the services' Warrior Games selection camp, being held March 25-31, at the U.S. Air Force Academy.
The Warrior Games was created in 2010 as an introduction to Paralympic sports for injured service members and veterans.
More than 200 competitors from the Air Force, Army, Marines, Navy and Coast Guard are expected to compete in 2012 Warrior Games.
For those interested in competing or coaching in the 2013 Warrior Games, the Air Force will put out a call for participants through the Air Force Wounded Warrior website, www.woundedwarriors.af.mil when the 2013 Warrior Games are announced.

It's been almost a year since the last Penguin update was released (Penguin 2.1 came out October 4, 2013), but that stint has been broken last week as Penguin 3.0 was rolled out.
With high expectations, you'd think that this new roll out would make a big headlines to everybody in the SEO industry, but according to MozCast's data, the rollout date, October 17th, it didn't seem there was much of a change. In the chart that is provided in a post by Dr. Peter J. Meyers, the date Google said Penguin 3.0 rolled out indicates that even though the "temperature" was slightly higher than the average, there was nothing at all that would indicate anything major had happened.
For those who aren't in the know, MozCast keeps track of search engine goings-on on a daily basis, and they show their data as temperatures. On a normal day, you'd see a average of about 70 degrees. Just so you can get a good picture of what a big update would look like, Penguin 1.0 measured 93 degrees. So now that we have something to compare 3.0 to, it didnt' do so hot, as 3.0 measure only 73 degrees.
So what happened? Dr Meyers' post answers this question as honestly as possible by going pretty deep into the MozCast data that he has access to. So to get into the meat and potatoes of the situation, check out his post by following the link below.

Interview | Intalekt [Nov 2015]
Musicianship is described as: the knowledge, skill and artistic sensitivity in performing music. It is also described as something that is held in very high regard by instrumentalist and producer, Intalekt, "I've dreamt about it – I'd like musicianship from the UK to be spearheaded by someone like me… or me". Despite capping of his sentence with laughter, Intalekt expresses his belief in his own abilities. His confidence was instilled from an early age with his stage name being attributed to his personality, "I just genuinely thought I was a smart kid" the producer proclaims, "Not in the sense of academics, but just wise, and [the name Intalekt] stuck. I found a meaning in it later on – I found out I didn't really know much about life – so I found the irony in the name, which is also shown in the way I spell it".
Intalekt has managed to attain an extensive knowledge of music throughout his time, irrespective of his parents' slight hindrance during his upbringing, "When I was young, my parents didn't let me listen to much [music]. Because I was their first-born child, they were really protective of me with as to what I listened to. I remember the Christmas my Grandma bought me an iPod. I went crazy! I got every bit of music I could get". Intalekt became relentless in his search for music to stimulate his fascination with sound, something that had engrossed him from an early age, "I just love sound, in general. I remember making a conscious choice when I was 8 or 9, while at a church service watching somebody play keys. The way he was playing keys – I was amazed. I'd never seen anyone play contemporary music on the keys. I was blown away. I went up to him after church and told him that I needed lessons".
Compared to some, Intalekt familiarized himself with the production element fairly late in his musical growth, "I think I was in year 10 or 11, and I thought I'd just give it a go and see what happened". His seemingly blasé attitude toward music production only lasted a short time before he began to look at it from a different perspective, "I was on the Music Technology course, so obviously I was involved in production but I played keys. I hardly did any production because the live music people were learning to play instruments". His opportunity to fully immerse himself into production came during his period at university, where he not only expanded his musical perspectives, but also had more time to focus on the craft, "I think it was at the start of University, [and] over the summers, I kind of found where my place was. When I started university, the first thing I did was get an overdraft and bought a Mac. From there, the game changed! So, that's when I was like, 'Let's really do this' ".
Intalekt then had the freedom, confidence and software to experiment with sound, whilst beginning the process of developing his own, though the producer admits there is not particular method to his creativity, "It can start from anywhere. It depends who I'm with, actually. If I'm by myself it varies, I might find a sample or it might be a chord progression, it can start from anywhere. I think that's one of the things that makes me want to continue making music – I never know where it's going to go". Wide eyed like the proverbial child in a sweetshop, Intalekt expounds animatedly, "When I produce, I stack loads sounds and instruments, then I mute certain bits and bobs then I'm able to build from there. I think one of my biggest problems is that I want to give the listener more. I want to give them more ear candy. Sometimes it's already there and it's cool, because there is such a thing as overkill and I'm learning that".
Of course, the producer's sonic direction was always going to be affected by his musical influences, "My biggest inspiration is J. Dilla, it's got to be J. Dilla. I can never forget listening to 'You Know What Love Is' [by Slum Village], I remember just listening… The swing was just crazy". Enthusiastically, he continues, "Flying Lotus is another big influence. I don't even think of him as a producer. I think he's taken sound to a completely different place. I feel like it's making people question why music has to have a certain formula. I'm hoping that's what my project can do as well". The emotive, yet technical depth when explaining his influences demonstrate how meticulously he approaches music "I feel like Pharrell taught me about chord progressions. Pharrell really taught me about B Sections and how important they are to a song". Intalekt also lists the likes of Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Kanye West, Quincy Jones, Tyler, The Creator, Kaytranada & Mr. Carmack as musicians that make up his palette of influences.
Intalekt's latest musical canvas comes in the form of his project IIWII – It Is What It Is. "The first meaning [of the title] is that it can be whatever you want it to be. I'm tired of people pigeonholing music so that we understand it. Some things can't be categorised. It Is What It Is is almost giving power to the people – they get to define what it is to them". Attempting to enlighten us on what to expect from IIWII, he explains, "I think every song is a story and I feel like people really have to pay attention to this project. Some of the songs are easy listening but some songs you really have to sit with and take them in. With this project I've put everything I could think of creatively, so I could understand if it was commercially slept on, but musically it's the best I've ever done".
Intalekt wants the forthcoming project to act as a platform for future success, adding, "I just want it to get me to a place where I can actually meet certain artists and they'd say, 'Oh, I've heard this, I'd really like to work with you'. That's what it is for me right now, I just want to keep building". However, finding artists to collaborate with has never been an issue that the producer has had to face, with relatively established featured artists on IIWII that include Kojey Radical & Jay Prince, as well as the likes of Ella Frank and Dani Sofiya, "I think I've been blessed, because all the people I've worked with, I was fans of them originally. So in a weird way I think it's just God's plan. The people have been accessible to me. I don't find it hard, I don't stress it, I feel like when people hear the work that I've got that other things will fall into place". Intalekt also recognises that an effective working relationship is usually shaped through a mutual understanding of music, "I'd rather work with like-minded people, than the people that are really popping. Like, if [Little] Simz didn't want to work with me, I'd understand, I'd fully understand. I'd try and build the sound she's going for, but if it doesn't work, it doesn't work – I can't force these things. It's got to be organic".
Though still in the infancy of his career, the talented instrumentalist reluctantly accepts the darker side of the music industry, sharing that, "In the music industry, funny stuff happens. Silly people come along but it is what it is, just let it be. Life goes on. We need to remember that it's a business, at the end of the day, and we need to bare that in mind. As long as you stay true to yourself, if you stick at it, labels will see that and they will show respect, especially if you've been grinding by yourself". As he continues, the reasoning behind his name becomes clearer, "Make the music that you want to hear and if your sound becomes popular, that's a bonus for you. I feel like music is losing its touch, on radio in particular. People stay away from it because it's not really great at all". Intalekt expresses his concerns that such things are affecting people's creativity on a broader scale, "I feel like people are afraid to make music, or be an artist because they feel like they're going to get criticised, especially people who come into it later, [other] people feel like they're just 'jumping on the wave'. Creative people are popping up a lot, and some for the wrong reasons but if their heart is genuine and pure, you can see it. I feel like people use creativity to look cool. I've seen it. Who am I to judge them? I can't knock what they're doing but I feel like… Their motives weren't good at the beginning". During this passage of speech, Intalekt allows his unadulterated passion for the art of music to be presented.
Looking beyond IIWII, which is scheduled for an early December release, Intalekt expresses that he's hesitant with regard to making solid plans, "I'm still undecided. In an ideal world, I'd like to have a team around me – like a production team – one producer and maybe a songwriter. I'd like to work with different producers and I'd like to make a completely live EP". Though ideas have been thought about, he concedes that it's a little bit out of his control, "I need to see what this project does, then I can make my decision on certain things". Hopefully his decisions result in more music from a man whose heart is obviously in the right place with regard to his art.

Armed robbery suspects sought
Deputies from the Newton County Sheriff's Office are searching for an unknown man who reportedly robbed another man at gunpoint Friday afternoon.
The victim was stopped at the intersection of Greenway Drive and Lantana Way when a man wearing a mask from a popular movie (but painted gold) reportedly approached his car and pointed a pistol at the victim, reportedly saying "empty your pockets," and chambering a round, according to NCSO Public Information Officer Cortney Morrison.
The victim gave the robber his cell phone — the only thing in his pockets at the time — and the masked bandit ran off. The victim went to a friend's house and had someone call 911 for him. There were no other witnesses to the robbery.
Test drive takes bad turn
Investigators from the Newton County Sheriff's Office have warrants out for the arrest of 50-year-old Jacque Bias, who reportedly pointed a pistol at an auto shop employee while test-driving his vehicle after repairs.
Bias allegedly dropped his car off at Mr. Transmission, located on U.S. Highway 278, a few weeks ago to get it fixed. He was contacted Monday afternoon to come and pick up his car.
According to NCSO Public Information Officer Cortney Morrison, when Bias arrived, he said he wanted to test drive his vehicle before paying for it. The owner reportedly told him that he could test drive his vehicle, but he had to take a Mr. Transmission employee with him, and Bias agreed.
When Bias and the employee got on Interstate 20, Bias reportedly pulled the car over, pulled a handgun on the employee and said, "Get out or I'll shoot you." The employee exited the car, and Bias took off. Warrants have been taken out against Bias for armed robbery and theft of services.
Anyone with information in either armed robbery case is asked to contact the NCSO at 678-625-1400 or online at www.newtonsheriffga.org. All tips can be given anonymously.

How to Stop Being Immature
Sharon H. Bolling
Sharon Bolling holds a master's in counseling and human development with a concentration in school counseling from Radford University. She is an experienced instructor of both high school and college students. She has been writing for Demand Media online since April 2013.
Overcoming immaturity is a significant aspect of development during adolescence and young adulthood. Dictionary.com defines immaturity as youthful behavior "lacking wisdom, insight and emotional stability." Remember that being an older age does not necessarily mean you will show maturity. Make an intentional effort to stop being immature and to begin growing in understanding.

Improve Self-Awareness
Enhance your self-understanding and put a stop to immature behavior by being more aware of your actions and feelings. Self-assurance is key in cultivating a sense of purpose in life and for developing mature responses to people and situations, says psychologist Tom Lickona, in his publication, "Character Matters." Realistically assess whether you have mature characteristics such as loyalty, dependability and compassion. Consider how you want others to think of you. Identify what you can improve, such as being someone others can count on so your friends and family see you as dependable.
Foster Emotional Intelligence
Emotional intelligence -- the ability to understand and get along with people -- is one sign of maturity, asserts TeensHealth in "Emotional Intelligence." Understanding others' perspectives, paying attention to your feelings, regulating your emotional reactions and intentionally deciding on your mood can help you stop being emotionally immature. When you recognize why you feel the way you do, you can choose to respond maturely and verbalize your emotions calmly. For instance, instead of overlooking small offenses until they build into a big emotional blowup, make the effort to talk things out as they happen.
Blaming others, failing to stand up for what you believe in, lying and impulsive actions may reflect immature character. Acting responsibly and letting others know you are dependable can reduce these behaviors. Demonstrate respect for yourself and others, exhibit honesty, and show compassion and self-control, suggests The Children's Trust's article, "Developing a Responsible Teen." Put a stop to immature tendencies by having the courage to be who you are, owning up to your mistakes and following through with what you say you're going to do.
Involvement in risky situations can be a reflection of social immaturity. Drug and alcohol abuse or trouble with employers can indicate difficulty in achieving an adult level of maturity, according to psychologist Mark Dombeck in his article, "Robert Kegan's Awesome Theory of Social Maturity" on MentalHelp.net. Use discernment when making choices about the company you keep and going to social events, like parties. If your friends participate in underage drinking or other reckless behaviors, such as driving at high speeds, chances are they aren't the best people to be around. Align yourself with others who have strong values, who respect your views and who won't pressure you into risky situations.

Nike announced that one of the athletes to star in their 30th anniversary "Just Do It" advertising campaign will be former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick. Kaepernick has not played in the NFL since 2016 after he took a knee in protest during the national anthem and sparked a leaguewide movement. Kaepernick announced his new deal with Nike on Twitter, simply stating "Believe in something, even if it means sacrificing everything. #JustDoIt" along with a photo of himself with those words written across the center.
Many fans were not happy with Nike for choosing such a divisive figure to be the face of the company. #NikeBoycott started trending and many sports fans took to social media and shared videos of themselves burning their Nike branded apparel in protest of the decision. One Twitter user took his five pairs of shoes and threw them into a fire pit while the Star Spangled Banner played in the background.
Another man ended up in the hospital after he set his shoes on fire while wearing them. After sharing the photo of his flaming shoes, he explained that his Nike shoes became grafted to his feet and now he might have to have them amputated.
Kaepernick will not be the only athlete to be featured as part of the anniversary ad campaign. Serena Williams, LeBron James, Lacey Baker, Shaquem Griffin and Odell Beckham Jr. will also appear in the company's ads.
Nike's stock dropped over two percent in early trading after the decision was announced. The stock drop cost the apparel company over $4 billion in market capital.

Meet Lupe Félix, who crosses the US-Mexico border twice a day for high school
By Jesse Hardman Jun. 10, 2019 Immigration
For Lupe Félix, senior year was supposed to be all about prom, hanging out with friends and graduation. She envisioned that her mom would be at her graduation, celebrating the milestone. But then her mom got stuck on the other side of the U.S.-Mexico border.
Her mother, was experiencing visa issues and went to Mexico to resolve her legal status. Instead, she wasn't allowed back home to the United States. Félix, a U.S. citizen, moved to Tijuana to be with her parents and spent senior year commuting across the border to high school in San Diego.

Every day, twice a day, she crossed the border wearing earbuds and a big backpack, to get to school and back.
"I can still cross, my mom can't. She's a strong woman, she doesn't show it, but I know she's sad," she said. "I don't get angry I just get frustrated, because to me the border isn't necessary, I guess. I don't know, to me it's just like an imaginary line that we have to cross everyday."
Félix will attend San Diego State University in the fall and wants to study social work and journalism. Her mom was taken out of school in 3rd grade to help raise her siblings, and her dad never went to school, he started working when he was six years old.
"Seeing that nobody in my family has ever been able to pursue their careers because of obstacles they have to overcome or adjust, drives me to be the one to be the example and break the cycle of dropping out," she said. "I will eventually get my own house, be financially stable where I can help my family or do whatever I need to do."

The need to use bicycle pumps was born just when the solid rubber bicycle tires were replaced by air filled tires. Bicycle pumps are among the most important pieces of equipment in any cyclists equipment list.
You want to make sure you maintain proper tire pressure at all times, and you'll definitely use it when you get a flat tire that needs to be repaired.
Ensuring your bicycle tires are pumped up to an optimal pressure is not only a safety procedure you should carry out on a regular basis, it will also help you to get more miles out of your tires and a smoother ride.
Which Bicycle Pump Should I Buy?
Each bicycle pump is designed for a specific use. There are bicycle tire pumps and pumps for suspension shocks. Some bicycle pumps are small and light so that you can carry them with you on your ride. Some are more heavy and robust and designed to be used at home, mainly for maintenance purposes.
Bicycle Tire Pumps – These pumps are also often known as 'frame pumps' or 'mini pumps' because they tend to be small and they attach to the frame of your bicycle so you can carry it with you.
These types of bicycle pumps usually do not have a gauge built into them and are mostly designed for 'out on the road' inflation either to reinflate a tire after a puncture, or to top up a tire to get you home if you have a slow puncture.
CO2 Bicycle Pumps – These pumps are perfect for carrying with you to rapidly inflate a tire after repairing a flat. They offer a very quick inflation, but as there are no built in gauges it can take a little trial and error and experimentation with different sized cartridges to find a CO2 pump solution to fit your exact tires.
Bicycle Floor Pump – Floor pumps are the workhorses of bicycle pumps and are designed to be used as part of the general maintenance of your bicycle at home. As their name implies they sit on the floor and are much heavier and larger than frame pumps. They almost always have gauges built in so that you can see the pressure of your tire while you are pumping it up.
Bicycle Suspension Pumps – Suspension pumps are designed to provide the very high pressures that are required by many shocks in order to perform well. The pumps are often rated up to 300 PSI and have a built in gauge. While they can be used to inflate tires, it can take a long time as they are designed for very high pressures and not high volumes.
Bicycle Electric Pumps – Electric pumps can be a really convenient way to inflate bicycle tires. Most will come with a Schrader valve as standard and will also have a relatively low maximum pressure rating, which makes them useful for mountain bikes, but often not for road bikes.
There are some more capable electric pumps that will supply higher pressures and these can be used on road bike tires with the right adapter.
Air compressors – Air compressors can be used to inflate bicycle tires, but you are likely to need a fairly heavy duty air compressor if you are considering inflating road tires with it as the pressure rating is not likely to be high enough on smaller compressors. In general air compressors require time to fill up and reach pressure, which can add a significant amount of time to your maintenance schedule if this is your main means of inflation.
Also note that compressors also tend not to have measurement gauges, instead they have tank pressure gauges indicating the level of pressure within the tank.
Air Pressure Gauges – Air pressure gauges are designed for a number of different applications, which are usually indicated by the maximum PSI rating of the gauge. Car tire gauges are often very simple, rated to 100 PSI and also much cheaper than bicycle tire gauges. Bicycle tire gauges are usually rated to at least 150 PSI and also come with either universal nozzles or multiple nozzles so that pressures can be measured from both Schrader and Presta valves.
The use of the bicycle air pump is very common and every one used it in there life, now a days this are become more easier and automatic too.
I agree. Some of my friend are asking me why should they buy an expensive air compressor or an electric air pump.
I think that these tools are among the items that before you have them you do not understand why you should have them, but after you have them you do not understand how you've managed to live without them.
I think air compressor is the best choice for bicycle pumps. Many thanks.

Warhammer: Age of Sigmar to get points system for competitive play
FILED UNDER: Warhammer: Age of Sigmar
Three new ways to play, but only one has fans excited.
POSTED BY Tim Colwill AT 4:56 pm ON Friday, April 29th 2016 IN Wargaming
Games Workshop have pulled an incredible New Coke move this week, announcing a new system of points values that will revolutionise Warhammer: Age of Sigmar by making it identical to every other product Games Workshop has ever released.
While Age of Sigmar sales figures are not officially available so it's impossible to accurately judge how well the new take on Warhammer Fantasy is doing commercially, one of the biggest complaints about Age of Sigmar is that it's almost impossible to use in competitive play due to a lack of balancing mechanics. One guy even hated it so much that he set his army on fire (we interviewed him about that).
Games Workshop announced the news on Facebook, explaining that not one but three new modes were on their way "soon":
Open Play is probably the most similar to the way you play now, but there are new rules on the way to give you even more freedom, including the option for huge multi-player battles.
Narrative Play is as you'd expect – recreating the great stories and epic encounters from the Age of Sigmar. To help you forge your own stories within the Mortal Realms, there are also some really cool campaign rules and tools on the way as well.
Finally, Matched Play is something we know a lot of you have been keen to see. We've put these rules together in association with some of the world's biggest tournament organisers, to create a new standard for balanced competitive play. And yes, it includes points values.
Tournament organisers (and competitive tournament players) have been the hardest hit by Age of Sigmar's "as many models as you want, I guess?" take on balanced play, so it's great to see that Games Workshop are paying attention on this front.
There are multiple competing theories as to why this has happened — Age of Sigmar isn't selling so GW is trying to boost its popularity on the tournament scene, the whole schtick was one big marketing ploy to focus attention on the company's sudden turnaround — but whatever the reason is, it's being extremely warmly welcomed by many in the community.

The Brief | July 18, 2019
The Brief: Female founders in Ethiopia and Uganda, clean water in India, vertical farms in Brazil, lifting new voters and voices, drones for development
Photo credit: Chris Slupski
Greetings, Agents of Impact!
Featured: ImpactAlpha Original
Renew rightsizes checks with new East Africa fund for female founders. Up to now, Renew, an Addis Ababa-based impact investment firm, has managed a network of 150 angel investors to coordinate a dozen investments of about $500,000 each into Ethiopian startups. A new "mini-fund" of pooled capital will cut smaller checks and invest exclusively in women-led companies. The new fund is among a growing number of "gender lens" focused investment vehicles targeting female founders in emerging markets. Renew has found that although women entrepreneurs outnumber their male counterparts in Africa, fewer women-led companies are ready to absorb half million dollar checks. "Women have a harder time accessing banking relationships and supplier relationships," Renew's Laura Davis told ImpactAlpha. Davis and her husband Matt, an American couple living in Addis Ababa, founded the firm in 2012. "So we wanted to build an investment structure that works for women and supports them," she says.
The first investment is in Kampala-based Kijani Baby, a Ugandan maker of colorful cloth diapers. Kijani founder Valerie Rogers Muigai launched the company after realizing that there were no washable diapers available on the Ugandan market. Her customers include middle-class Ugandan families looking for an affordable and green way to diaper their babies, as well as international nonprofits and social businesses that provide cloth diapers to low-income Ugandan families. "This investment will be instrumental to scale our production and improve our systems," Muigai said. Renew's portfolio companies have created nearly 1,500 jobs and two exits have netted the firm competitive returns. A reminder of the risk: The Kijani deal was delayed when the Ethiopian government shut down the internet for 10 days after a group of soldiers staged a failed coup.

Dealflow: Follow the Money
Clean water startup Aquvio raises capital to build out purification technology. Varanasi, India-based Aquvio builds and installs water purifiers to provide safe drinking water to schools, hospitals and government agencies. The company has raised an undisclosed amount of pre-Series A funding from India's Technology Development Board, early-stage impact investor and accelerator Villgro, and the Indian Institute of Technology. In a country where water scarcity is a looming issue—21 major cities in India are expected to run out of water by 2020—Aquvio claims its technology purifies water with less waste and energy.

Pink Farms secures early funding to bring vertical farming to Brazil. Post-harvest food losses can reach 40% in many places, and Brazil is no exception. São Paulo-based Pink Farms has raised two million reals ($532,000) to combat food waste by bringing the farms into the city. The funding round was backed by agribusiness venture capital firm SP Ventures and seed venture fundCapital Lab. Pink Farms will use the funding to build its first large-scale facility to grow greens and vegetables in São Paulo. The company is an early mover in vertical farming in Brazil, but globally, its peers have been raking in hundreds of millions of dollars in investment capital to improve the nascent technology's capabilities and costs. New Jersey-based AeroFarms and Germany's InFarmboth recently raised $100 million funding rounds to support their vertical farming growth. Check it out.

Signals: Ahead of the Curve
Getting drones to deliver for global development. Investors from TPG Growth's Rise Fund to Singapore's Temasak piled into the recent $190 million investment round of Zipline, a fleet of autonomous drones improving emergency medical care in frontline clinics in sub-Saharan Africa. The tech unicorn highlights the vast potential of drones in development settings where roads and infrastructure are lacking. It has also been an anomaly in its ability to scale and attract capital. Most drone projects have lingered in the pilot stage. The key to moving from pilot to scale to impact, writes Catherine Cheney of Devex, "is improving the reliability and lowering the cost of the technology while also coordinating rather than duplicating efforts." In a new report, "Drones for Development," Devex surveys the state of use of unmanned aerial vehicles in global development today and identifies ways to fulfill their potential for impact. Among the insights:
Pilots, pilots, pilots. Drones have been used to fight the Zika virus in Brazil, deliver vaccines in Vanuatu and blood in Malawi. But few projects have grown beyond the pilot stage. Only four of 27 drone projects for global health identified by the Interagency Supply Chain Group have achieved sustained operations. The outlier: Zipline, which has reached national scale in Rwanda and is expanding into Ghana and the U.S. (see, "How Zipline raised $190 million to build a global drone logistics network").
Cost competitive. Unmanned aerial vehicles are often critiqued for diverting resources from basic needs such as roads, healthcare or electricity. Most drones are least three years away from being cost-competitive with optimally routed motorcycles, according to one analysis. Increasing flight frequency by using drones across multiple applications, or focusing on denser population areas, can help defray costs.
Local experts. Most drone companies are still only selling technology. Donors and international nonprofits need people to operate the drones and provide other on the ground expertise. One solution: Tapping local expertise. Flying Labs, for example, is building a global network of local drone experts.
Democratizing airspace. "It used to be only wealthy governments or corporations could collect data from the sky or move goods through the sky," says Timothy Reuter of World Economic Forum. "Now you're empowering both less wealthy governments and new entrepreneurs to take advantage of the sky as a resource."

Smart property investors can see the benefits of investing in properties with solar power.
Nothing can beat the clean and free energy from the sun.
•	You need a lot of sun for it to work properly.
Solar power works with light.
It doesn't need to be a hot or sunny day.
•	Your property has to face north.
North gets the most light for the whole day but if your panels face east, you can use more energy first thing in the morning.
Likewise, if your panels face west or south, you can use the most power in the afternoons.
The further north that you live in Australia, the better that south facing panels work.
•	Solar panels damage your roof.
Solar panels are now thinner and sleeker than earlier models and they provide a barrier that helps shield your roof from the elements and damaging UV.

Jack and the beanstalk story is a very famous story since time immemorial. It is an interesting story and has moral values that help children to learn the positives of life. The story initially appeared in the year 1734. This fairy tale has been retold by Flora Annie Steel in her English story tales.
The story has been noted to be more than 4000 years old. Jack and The Beanstalk story is a popular story from pre-historic times. Moral values are very important for children to apply in their real-life situations. Children enjoy the story and remember the moral values.
Origin of the Story
Application of moral in real life
Once upon a time, there lived a boy named jack along with his widow mother. They were very poor and could not even afford proper food for a day.
One day, jack's mother got sick and asked her son to go to the market and sell their only cow to get some money. Jack's mother had no other option other than selling the cow.
Jack started to take the cow to the market and on his way, he met a man who wanted to buy the cow but did not have money. The man wanted to buy the cow in exchange for the magical beans he had. Jack believed the man and gave his cow and brought the magical beans home. Jack's mother was very upset with Jack's behavior.
Jack's mother said that man fooled you by taking away the cow and gave you some useless beans. Jack was very sad and upset. Jack went to sleep without having dinner.
The next day as jack woke up, jack saw a huge beanstalk grown outside his house from the window. Jack realized that the beanstalk grew up from the magical beans that he got from that man. Jack climbed up the beanstalk and discovered a kingdom in the sky.
Jack entered the kingdom and met a kind lady in the kitchen. Jack told the lady that he was very hungry and asked her for some food. The kind lady gave some bread and milk to jack. As Jack was eating the food, a huge giant entered the kingdom.
Jack learned that the lady he met is the wife of the giant. The giant was scary and terrible. Jack was so frightened that he hid inside the house. The giant cried, "I smell the blood of a man."
The wife told him that there was no one except them. The giant had his food and went into his room to rest. The giant took out his sack of gold coins and counted them. The giant put them back and fell asleep. As the day turned into night, the clever Jack slowly crawled out of the hidden place in the house and climbed down the beanstalk with the sack of gold coins.
Jack went home and gave jack's mother the sack of gold coins. Jack's mother was happy to see the gold coins and was proud of her son as he helped her to manage their living. Jack and his mother lived happily.
After some days, Jack climbed the beanstalk again. He asked the giant's wife for some food to eat. The giant's wife was so kind and gave jack some bread and milk.
While jack was consuming the food, the giant entered the kingdom. Jack immediately hid under the bed.
The giant cried, "I smell the blood of a man." The wife said, "there is no one here." The giant had his meal and went inside.
The giant took out a hen and shouted "Lay!" The hen laid a golden egg. After some time, Jack slid out from the bed and silently took the hen away. Jack climbed down the beanstalk and reached his home. Jack gave his mother the hen that lays golden eggs.
Jack's mother was immensely happy and they lead a better life.
Some more days passed and Jack decided to climb up the beanstalk curiously to know what more he could find there. Jack climbed the beanstalk for the third time.
Everything repeated the same way as before. Jack asked the lady for some food and she offered him the food. As Jack was eating, the giant came home.
The giant cried," I smell the blood of a man." The wife said "Stop being silly! There is n body here" The giant believed the words of his wife and went to sleep. Jack found out that the giant owns a magical harp that plays beautiful songs. Jack thought the harp would be very helpful and silently tried to climb down the beanstalk with the harp.
Meanwhile, the harp cried, "Help master! Someone is stealing me." The giant immediately woke up and saw Jack with the magical harp in his hands. The terrific giant started to run after jack furiously. Jack was too fast and escaped from the giant. Jack ran down the beanstalk.
The giant followed Jack down the beanstalk. Jack rushed into his house and took an axe to chop off the beanstalk. Jack started to chop the beanstalk with the axe. The giant fell down and died.
Jack and his mother are very rich now and lived happily forever.
This story has its roots in the Proto-Indo-European language and also the Proto-Indo-Iranian selection in addition. It is thought by many of us that this story originated thousands of years agone i.e. from 4500 BC to 2500 BC.
Benjamin Tabart revealed the history of the jack and the beanstalk story however the story is thought of as past. The author of the story is unknown however Joseph Jacobs wrote the story supported oral stories detected from ancestors. The story is told by totally different writers in several ways in which. Jack and the beanstalk story remain a well-liked story because it has been passed on from the ancestors.
Jack and The Beanstalk story is interesting. The story has different moral aspects to learn from.
Make the best out of the situation. Whatever may be the situation, try to get the best possible solution or benefits even from the worst situation. Jack could not help his mother financially. Jack sold the cow and got the magical beans in return. Jack's mother threw them away. Jack was sad that he could not help his mother. As jack found out about the Beanstalk, he tried to get whatever he could without the knowledge of the giant. He was clever enough to get whatever he could from the Beanstalk.
When opportunity knocks, take advantage of it. Jack made his visit a worthy one by getting some or the other every time he went up. Jack utilized every chance to support his mother.
Listen to your mother and do what she says. Jack's mother asked to bring money in exchange for the cow. Instead, jack brought the magical beans. Though jack's mother didn't believe in the magical beans it turned out to be a favor to them.
Though it was helpful for them both, we should always remember that we need to do what we are asked by our elders.
We need to be careful and do not risk things when we know that the situation is worse. Jack even after knowing that the giant is dangerous, visited the beanstalk three times. Jack should have been careful. Jack's mother did not insist jack not to go back up the beanstalk. At last, when jack was getting down the giant followed Jack down the beanstalk. Jack was clever enough to cut off the beanstalk immediately. It is not right to risk life.
The story has many real-life applications as the story has different morals to learn. Jack's cleverness at the end of the story is appreciated as he acted immediately to escape from the giant. Jack and the beanstalk story is a popular story that has been known for centuries.
Here are a few applications of morals in real-life:
When we are not able to perform well in the examinations. It does not mean we are worthless. We have to try to do whatever we could to be in a better place. We need to remember that we have to do the best out of any situation. No matter what, we should never give up on anything.
When our parents give us some work to do, we have to do as said. It might be beneficial for jack's family but it is not the same in every case. Not everyone gets the magical beans and finds treasures of the giant on the beanstalk.
In real-life, we should not take a risk when we are in danger. We need to be careful. Jack risked his life and went up the beanstalk and brought the treasures of the giant. At the end, when the giant saw jack and followed him down the beanstalk. Jack immediately cut off the beanstalk and escaped. Jack went up the beanstalk even though he knew it is risky to go and escape from the giant. In reality, we should not risk even after knowing the bad consequences.
We need to act clever at times. Jack cleverly brought the treasures of the giant every time he went up the beanstalk. Jack cleverly hid from the giant and took away the property. Jack escaped every time. At last, jack tried to escape from the giant and cleverly chopped off the beanstalk. Acting smart at the right time is important. Cleverness and timing are important when you are at risk. It is better not to take risks but when needed we have to act accordingly.
Jack was not clever enough in the beginning. Jack sold the cow in exchange for the magical beans. Jack did not follow his mother's instructions. He disobeyed his mother and was upset with his mother's reaction. When jack found out the beanstalk, he went inside and acted hungrily. While the giant was asleep, he cleverly robbed the treasures of the giant.
Jack acted smartly in escaping every time from the giant's eye except the last. The giant saw jack and followed. Jack cleverly escaped from the giant by cutting off the beanstalk. Jack was happy for being able to get the treasures easily. It was not so easy as it seemed to be. Jack made his poor mother happy but at the same time, he took the giant's property. It is not right to take property that belongs to others. Jack and his mother were poor enough to make a living.
Even though it is hard for the family to live, Jack should not find an easy way of earning like taking away the giant's property. If jack had sold the cow and brought the money home then he would not have to risk his life with the giant.
The giant sensed the presence of a man and was suspicious. The giant's wife gave jack some bread and milk every time. She was so kind and did not tell anything about the boy to the giant. Jack made it a chance to take away whatever he could in the minimal time he had. Jack went back to the beanstalk only when he was in need of the treasures again. From the storyline, we learn that we need to make use of every situation. It is also important that we should not risk and fall in threat. Though jack managed to escape from the giant. It is risky and dangerous.
We need not do things that cause a threat to our life. We have to live with what we have. Living with hard-earned money gives more pleasure than stolen property. The story has a moral life to make use of every opportunity. We need to remember that we have to use the opportunity that would be beneficial for us and does not cause harm to anyone.
The story is easy to understand and applicable in real-life. Jack and the beanstalk story is mysterious and interesting that everyone enjoys reading.

Support Alejandro Jodorowsky's new film "Endless Poetry" by donating on Kickstarter
Avant-garde film director and artist Alejandro Jodorowsky wants to bring back the poetic power of film. The 86-year-old Chilean director is funding his upcoming film Endless Poetry (Poesía Sin Fin) through Kickstarter. Based on his autobiography, Endless Poetry is set in Jodorowsky's youth in Santiago de Chile, the artistic epicenter of Chile in the 1940s. "I was 24 years old… it was a fantastic moment. The war was all over the planet, and in Chile: no war. Because we are far and separate of the world: no television, mountains, ocean, peace! It was so peaceful. It was beautiful. And then a miracle happened: Poetry came to the country." Leaving a lasting impression on his life an creative output such as the cult films El Topo and The Holy Mountain, Jodorowsky is out to share the paradise of his youth with the rest of the world. Supporters of the Kickstarter campaign have the chance to receive Poetic Money bills and become executive producers.

Google TV app launches on iOS as another hub for your streaming services
Home » Google TV app launches on iOS as another hub for your streaming services
The Google TV app, which aggregates content recommendations from numerous streaming services and lets you create a universal watchlist of your favorites, is now available on iOS. Google says that it'll replace the previous Google Play Movies and TV app in the App Store, so if you've already got that installed, you should be able to update it to the Google TV experience sometime today.
The software, already available on Android, also allows you to rate what you've previously viewed to improve future recommendations. More important for Android TV or Chromecast with Google TV owners is that you can use the Google TV app as a remote control for those devices by tapping the remote icon.
Not every major streaming service allows its content to be included in Google TV's rows of aggregated recs: Netflix is the big holdout. The company bowed out of Google TV integration very shortly after the release of the 2020 Chromecast, and Google has been unable to bring Netflix back into the fold ever since.
Aside from its carousels of entertainment, the Google TV app will also contain your library of rentals and purchases from Google. (If you've got Movies Anywhere set up, this is another way to stream that content.) All of that is accessible from the "your stuff" tab. Google says the "highlights" tab keeps you "up to date with a personalized daily feed of news, reviews, and more about the entertainment you love."
Google TV still ranks as among my favorite interfaces for browsing what's available across whichever services you're subscribed to. Recently, Google added individual user profiles to the experience, letting everyone in your home have their own personalized picks and home screen. The company has also hinted that it has fitness features in the works for its TV platform.
