TORONTO, March 31, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Red White & Bloom Brands Inc. (CSE: RWB) (OTC: RWBYF) ("RWB" or the "Company"), is pleased to provide the following corporate update.
Brad Rogers, CEO of RWB stated, "It is hard to believe that we are just finishing out Q1 2021. So much has changed both at RWB and in the markets that we focus on. We have seen a change in the US administration and have heard very encouraging statements about the intent of this administration to finally end the prohibition of cannabis in the US, as well as the much-needed support to those communities that have disproportionately suffered from the war on drugs. To that end, we at RWB are making investments to play our part in each jurisdiction that we will operate in as we embark on a significant expansion and transformation of our Company. In just a short few months we have closed on our acquisition of Platinum Vape, executed definitive agreements to enter the Illinois and Florida cannabis markets through acquisition and entered into partnerships to expand into Arizona and offer delivery to over 90% of Californians of our award winning Platinum line of products. There is no doubt that 2021 is quickly becoming the year of change for RWB, and we are committed to delivering a year of growth, operational excellence, and success for all stakeholders."
Platinum ("Platinum Vape" or "PV") continues to see record weeks for sales of PV branded products. This past February was a record month for PV branded product sales in Michigan, with sales of approximately US$6.5 million in just Michigan. With the MRA reporting total Vape sales in both the Medical and Adult Use markets in Michigan of approximately US$23.5M for February, this represents an almost 28% market share in the category.
In California, PV continues to expand its product line with the continued expansion of its edible chocolate and gummy portfolio. In addition, the recently announced partnership with Budee (owned by Stem Holdings) has vastly expand availability of Platinum's premium cannabis products in California, as demand for home delivery of cannabis products continues to accelerate. Budee employs over 350 delivery drivers servicing customers from four distribution hubs strategically located in California, allowing for the fastest same-day turnaround in the industry. Budee is providing access to PV products via home delivery to 92% of California's population through e-commerce store: https://budee.org/brands/platinum-vape.
High Times®
The High Times branded product launch has now seen multiple successful drops of curated flower in Michigan over the last three months. Once fully launched, the collection of products will feature over 30 High Times® SKUs. In addition to multiple strains of packaged flower already released, the line will bring pre-rolls, vapes and edibles in a number of varieties. To start, over 50 dispensaries in Michigan are expected to carry the High Times product line representing approximately 20% of the market. Michigan has recently reported to have seen sales top US$105 million in February 2021, a 160% year-over-year increase.
High Times is also gearing up for the Michigan Cannabis Cup and has been featured in multiple stories and on air, most recently on FOX 2 Detroit and WXYZ/TV-20. The Cannabis Cup is bringing additional exposure to both High Times and RWB, which has exclusive licensing rights to brand dispensaries as well as to manufacture and sell cannabis products for High Times throughout Michigan. The Company has sublicensed those rights to PharmaCo, an existing licensed operator in Michigan, to expedite the launch and availability of products.
The Company announced that it had entered into a definitive agreement to purchase medically and recreationally-approved cannabis cultivation center licenses in the State of Illinois, a 23,572 SF active cultivation and manufacturing operation, the associated inventory, and the real estate assets including 2 acres of land. Pre-planning for the first stage of expansion of the existing operations upon closing are near complete and the Company previously announced that it has secured the necessary financing commitments to close the transaction. The Company is awaiting regulatory approvals to close.
The Company continues to make progress on closing its previously announced, definitive agreement to acquire Acreage Florida, which is licensed to operate medical marijuana dispensaries, a processing facility, and a cultivation facility in the State of Florida. The deal also includes the sale of property in Sanderson, Florida that includes over 15 acres of land, a 113,546 SF facility for cultivation and a 4,360 SF freestanding administrative office building. In addition, Acreage Florida has 8 leased stores in prime locations throughout the State. Florida has one of the most robust medical markets in the US with cannabis revenue of over US$1.2 billion in 20202. It is considered a Limited License State with 22 licensed operators, of which only 16 are selling product in the state. Further to the Company's previous press release and subject to regulatory approval, this transaction is anticipated to close in Q2 2021.
The Company has begun the process of restructuring certain aspects of its previously announced put/call agreement to acquire PharmaCo, its investee in Michigan. Under the revised agreements, the consideration will remain unchanged, however, the Company will complete the transaction through an asset acquisition to allow for RWB to separate the significant real estate holdings from the operating assets. In addition, a wholly owned subsidiary of RWB will become the licensed entity that operates these assets (versus the previously contemplated assumption of existing licenses in the state through a share purchase of the investee). It is anticipated that the restructuring documentation will be complete in the coming days and additional details will be provided at that time.
Mid-American CBD Division
The Company has launched Mid-American 20-count CBD hemp cigarettes, the Company's line of premium, indoor-grown, and terpene-rich smokable products. The Mid-American CBD brand includes a full lineup of premium smokable flower hemp cigarettes in the following flavors: Original, Menthol, Grape and Cherry.
Figure 1 is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/508a221b-9807-4e91-90be-4ed249b4e2d1
The hemp cigarette line is anchored by a 20-pack of premium hemp cigarettes with less than 0.3%-THC, a class-leading 75mgs of CBD per stick and 1,500mgs of CBD per pack with zero nicotine, made with 100% pure hemp. Mid-American proudly uses hemp grown from their Granville, Illinois CBD greenhouse; the indoor difference smokers can appreciate.
Customers can currently purchase the products in over 400 locations of the initial 1000 planned for Florida, with the rollout of additional stores and flavors expected to continue throughout the United States during 2021. The Mid-American CBD Premium Hemp Rolls product can now be purchased through various AATAC members operating Chevron, Shell, Sunoco, Mobile, BP, Texaco, Citgo, Marathon, 76, Kwik Stop and a host of other franchise retail locations across Orlando, Tampa and Central Florida. The Company's Mid-American CBD line, is produced and sold in compliance with the U.S. 2018 Farm Bill and the U.S. Agricultural Act of 2014.
Debt Settlement and RSU issuance
The Company also announces that it has entered into a debt settlement subscription agreement (the "Debt Settlement Agreement") with an arm's length creditor (the "Creditor") to settle outstanding indebtedness of CDN $342,000 incurred pursuant to advances made by the Creditor to the Company, in consideration for the issuance of 237,500 common shares ("Common Shares") issued at a deemed price of $1.44 per Common Share (the "Debt Settlement").
The Company also reports that it has issued 174,500 restricted shares units of the Company ("RSUs") under the Company's shareholder approved restricted share unit plan (the "RSU Plan") to two consultants as an incentive for the consultants to drive the growth of the Company. The RSUs will vest immediately and shall entitle the holder to acquire one Common Share of the Company underlying each such RSU by delivering a notice of acquisition to the Company in accordance with the RSU Plan. In accordance with the RSU Plan, the RSUs were priced at $1.44 based on the closing price of the Common Shares on the Canadian Securities Exchange on March 26, 2021.
All securities issued in connection with the Debt Settlement and RSUs will be subject to a four-month-and-one-day statutory hold period in accordance with applicable securities laws.

The cause of a fire deadly fire that left four people dead is under investigation, according to City of Poughkeepsie Fire Department.
Four bodies were recovered from a Poughkeepsie building Monday morning after City of Poughkeepsie firefighters put out a "long, stubborn fire," said Fire Chief Mark Johnson.
Units responded to the three-story building at 61 Academy St. near 1:48 a.m. for a reported structure fire, Johnson said.
"The first arriving units found heavy fire on the first and second floors," he said. "This building has been vacant for quite a few years now."
The cause of fire is under investigation but Johnson said it was suspicious because no utilities were connected to the building. The fire was under control at about 4:30 a.m. as units continued to monitor hot spots.
Johnson said the bodies were found while units were overhauling the building.
"At this point we don't know who they are, we are assuming that they are maybe homeless people but we are still trying to figure out that," Johnson said.
The causes of death for the four people are under investigation. The first body was found on the second floor near the fire escape, the second body was found on the third floor in the attic area and the third and fourth bodies were found on the first floor, Johnson said.
"Hopefully, there will be no more," Johnson said. "But there is another collapsed area in the rear of the building that we are going through with fine-toothed combs to make sure there is no one else in there."
The fire burned through the roof causing the former residential structure to be a "total loss," Johnson said.
City of Poughkeepsie Fire Department, City of Poughkeepsie Police Department, the Dutchess County District Attorney's Office and the Dutchess County medical examiner are investigating the incident.
Arlington Fire Department and Fairview Fire Department assisted at the scene.
Mayor Rob Rolison said the city had no recent reports of people inside 61 Academy St., and the last report he received about the building came in August.
"If we were aware of any individuals at any point in time, we would have made effort to remove them from the building," he said.
But Al Delaney, a Town of Poughkeepsie resident who works nearby, said people entering abandoned properties is a regular issue in the neighborhood.
Rolison said that the city had been in the process of trying to sell 61 Academy St., and an interested party reached out to the city just last week.


Devyani Khobragade is indicted by a US grand jury on Friday on same criminal charges contained in the first indictment dismissed by a New York court earlier in the week. On the basis of this a warrant for her arrest has also been issued.
The Indian diplomat is charged with visa fraud and making false statements that could together get her a maximum of 15 years in jail if she was ever tried and convicted.
Khobragade is in India, after she was asked to leave by the US on January 9 — the day she was indicted first — after India refused to waive her newly-acquired diplomatic immunity.
"A grand jury has returned a true bill today on a two-count criminal indictment of Devyani Khobragade," said the office of US attorney Preet Bharara in an announcement on Friday.
In dismissing the earlier indictment on Wednesday, New York judge Shira A. Scheindlin had said she had only looked at Khobragade's immunity status.
If the alleged criminal acts by the diplomat were not committed during the exercise of official functions, the prosecutors were free to come back with a new indictment.
The Indian ministry of of external affairs had seen the new indictment coming and had warned against it.
"We note that the judgment does not consider the merits of the case, or our well-known position, including on the admissibility of the arrest of Devyani Khobragade in December 2013," it had said after the dismissal of the earlier case.
India has long argued that Khobragade should never have been charged, or indeed arrested, at all as she was covered by full diplomatic immunity at all times, citing reciprocity.
India has maintained that the US had no business acting on the complaints of the diplomat's housekeeper, Sangeeta Richard, as their dispute was already in court in India.
The new indictment means Khobragade, who is married to an Indian American, will be tried whenever she returns to the US, unless the case lapses under the statute of limitation.

Democrats kick off opening arguments in Trump impeachment trial
'I always think of myself as just, you know, the simple son of immigrants,' says Texas Democratic state Rep. Rafael Anchia. | Jay Janner
Ones to watch outside the Beltway
By POLITICO STAFF
Rafael Anchia
Texas Democratic state Rep. Rafael Anchia doesn't like talking about his future. But he may not be able to avoid it.
Like all the Outside-the-Beltway Politicos to Watch, Anchia is widely viewed as someone destined for bigger things, with political skills that would seem to put him on a different trajectory than his colleagues — perhaps even in statewide office or Washington one day.
First elected to the state House in 2004 at the age of 36, after serving on the board of the Dallas Independent School District, Anchia already has been referred to as "El Gobernador" by Texas Monthly. Dallas's D Magazine went further, asking: "Is Rafael Anchia the Hispanic Obama?"
Like any disciplined rising star, he reacts with scrupulous humility.
"I always think of myself as just, you know, the simple son of immigrants who was lucky enough to go to good public schools and, ultimately, get a law degree," Anchia told POLITICO.
But Anchia is more than just a simple kid who got lucky. A successful corporate attorney, he's distinguished himself in the Legislature as a capable negotiator and debater, taking a leading role in efforts to fight a voter identification bill and throwing himself headfirst into the details of urban policy.
Reeling off a list of local challenges that include everything from stray dogs to the illicit sex trade, Anchia says his goal is to promote a "new urbanism" for his district.
"There are opportunities to build communities that are walkable, bikeable, that also include commuter rail," Anchia said. "I love being in the Legislature."
Texas politicos, however, seem convinced that's not where Anchia's career is likely to end. As his home state's Latino population grows by the day, Democrats say Anchia could be a new kind of leader for a swiftly changing state.
"Anchia is one of those people that have a personal, human gift of being able to communicate with almost anyone," said Lyndon Olson Jr., a Texas Democratic fundraiser and former ambassador to Sweden. "He has the innate gifts and is aware that in Texas, politically, we are an emerging Hispanic state."
Anchia passed up a bid for mayor of Dallas in 2007. Some say that's just as well, given how high they think he could climb.
"He considered running for mayor of Dallas, and I discouraged him from doing that. ...Mayor of Dallas has been a dead-end job for many politicians," said former Rep. Martin Frost (D-Texas), who described the legislator as a person of "virtually unlimited potential."
"He could be governor of the state of Texas someday. He could be a member of Congress," said Frost. "Certainly, he could be a United States senator."
Anchia intends to run for reelection to his current job in 2010 and says his commitments to his wife, Marissa — whose father was an elected official — and their two young daughters might keep him off the statewide ballot for at least a little while.
But Anchia's already making moves that could introduce him on the national stage sooner rather than later. He intends to take point on energy issues in the Legislature — a salient issue both nationally and in oil-rich Texas — and he already sounds like a man with an eye on his legacy.
"I'm focused on making sure that Texas continues to be an energy leader as we move from a fossil-fuel-dependent economy to a more balanced, fossil-plus-renewable economy," Anchia said. "I think that's where I want to leave a mark."
He's also gotten involved in groups, most notably the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials, with networks reaching far beyond the state of Texas.
"He's got the full package. He's not just articulate, smart, a good legislator; he's attractive, he's young, he's got an attractive wife, he's got two children," said NALEO Executive Director Arturo Vargas. "A dream profile."
— Alexander Burns
Bob McDonnell
Virginia's governorship has proved to be a springboard to the national political scene: Four of the past five governors have pursued the presidency, and two have become national party chairmen. And if former state Attorney General Bob McDonnell wins the governorship in November, he's likely to be the next Virginia pol who attracts notice beyond Richmond.
That's because the state's 2009 gubernatorial race is viewed as a harbinger of the 2010 election landscape, and Republicans will immediately embrace him as a leading indicator of a GOP comeback.
If McDonnell defeats Democratic nominee Creigh Deeds, it most likely will be a result of his ability to win over moderates and independents in Northern Virginia and conservatives elsewhere in the state. That is a rare and much-sought-after combination in the GOP these days.
"The reason everyone is talking about Bob McDonnell is that he can win," said Nick Ayers, executive director of the Republican Governors Association. "That's really been a challenge for our party in the state."
McDonnell failed to grab many headlines this spring because he was unchallenged for the GOP nomination, and Democrats had a compelling three-way primary battle. But now McDonnell, who has already raised more than $5 million, is beginning to draw attention.
"Our folks are extremely motivated to win," he told POLITICO. "There is as much energy in the party now as I've seen in our state."
Minutes after winning the Democratic primary, Deeds revealed one of the Democratic lines of attack against McDonnell — he sought to link the Republican with the "disastrous economic and social agenda" of former President George W. Bush.
McDonnell, however, aims to distance himself from that legacy, saying he hopes his campaign can signal that the GOP is a "happy, enthusiastic, can-do party."
— Andy Barr
At the age of 38, Marco Rubio already has a silver-plated political résumé. A former speaker of the Florida House, he has close ties to popular former GOP Gov. Jeb Bush and has authored a book detailing a reform-minded policy agenda for his home state.
As an outspoken Cuban-American conservative, he has shown the ability to connect the two disparate elements of the party: those who want a more diverse face for the GOP and those who want the party to focus on and preserve its conservative principles.
While he would appear to be a Republican dream candidate, there's just one problem: To take the next step in his political career, he has to defeat popular GOP Gov. Charlie Crist. Both are running in the Republican primary to succeed GOP Sen. Mel Martinez, who is not seeking reelection in 2010.
If elected, Rubio would almost immediately win national notice as the only Hispanic Republican in the Senate — and one of only four in all of Congress.
Rubio, however, is a distinct underdog, since the party establishment has rallied behind Crist.
"I'm running on the idea that the things that made America the greatest nation in the world are being lost," Rubio said in an interview. "It's not just about winning for me. It's about advocating for the principles you believe in."
— Josh Kraushaar
Even in California, a state with a deep and diverse bench of Democratic talent, San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris stands out.
A two-term prosecutor whose innovative approach to law enforcement has made her a rising star in progressive politics, she is both the state's first female African-American district attorney and the nation's first Indian-American district attorney.
On Harris's watch, felony conviction rates hit a 14-year high and elementary school truancy fell 23 percent after she began prosecuting the parents of chronically truant children.
"I call it the 'smart on crime' approach," Harris told POLITICO. "We've got to be efficient, swift and certain after it occurs, but we also have to do what we can to prevent crime before it occurs."
Harris has drawn fire from San Francisco police, who accuse her office of inflating conviction rates and bringing too few cases to trial. And in 2004, Harris, who opposes the death penalty, angered many by refusing to seek execution for the killer of a city police officer.
But that hasn't stopped Harris from establishing herself as the front-runner in California's 2010 race for attorney general.
— Zachary Abrahamson
Jennifer McClellan
She's just 36 years old, but Del. Jennifer McClellan has already established herself as key player in the Virginia Democratic Party, where she has served as a superdelegate and as vice chairwoman since December 2006.
McClellan got plugged into the state's Democratic network early, leading the University of Richmond Young Democrats in college. After graduation, she led the statewide Young Democrats group for three years while in law school at the University of Virginia.
Elected to the House of Delegates in 2005, McClellan has emerged as a close ally of Gov. Tim Kaine while focusing on public education and reducing predatory lending.
"I see myself as somebody who tries to, whatever the issue, define the common ground and work to find common-sense solutions," McClellan told POLITICO. "Part of what's wrong with politics today is too many people view it as a battle."

Are you ready to take a risk, learn something new, see other places … free yourself from the familiar?
Are you eager to "discover your passion"? Are you still looking for the thing you are passionate about?
Do you feel like you want to experiment and explore all your options before making life-altering decisions, like what to study or what you'd like to do for your career?
Do you feel like you need to try something other than another year of school? Something where you learn, but in an entirely different way?
Are you itching to learn practical skills to prepare you for the real world?
These are great reasons to take a gap year, rather than going directly from high school to college or to go straight through college without taking a breath.
More and more students are considering a gap year or semester experience before college. The benefits of taking a break from the classroom can lead to an improved college experience, a more fulfilling career, and increased self-confidence. We're happy to share more information with you.
Researchers have studied both the motivations and outcomes of taking a gap year. Time and again the data comes up positive. Gap experiences can have a lasting powerful effect on your future.
Gain skills. In one survey, 84% of gappers said they acquired skills that will help them be successful in their careers.
Learn more about yourself. If there's one thing you should be an expert on, it's yourself. Your gap year is like an independent study of you.
"I want to do everything." This quote from one of our Winterline alumni says it all – that's why we help you dip your toe into many waters.
Learn by doing. Keats said "nothing ever becomes real until it is experienced." A gap experience is a time to learn outside the classroom.
Recharge. You've been a student for a long time. Maybe you're a little burnt out. A gap year can help you re-discover your joy of learning.
If not now, when? In some countries, more than half of high school grads take a break before starting college. It's a time of freedom in your life – take advantage of it.
You'll be happier later. 86% of past gappers who are currently employed said they are satisfied or very satisfied with their current job.* Your gap year can be the first step toward a more satisfying life.
84% ACQUIRE SKILLS TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THEIR CAREER.


LouFest is first and foremost a music festival, but the wide array of food and drinks offered in the fest's Nosh Pit can certainly stand on their own.
In advance of this weekend's festival, we talked to the pros at Anheuser-Busch and Schlafly to see which of their beers pair best with the dishes on offer.
New Orleans-inspired bistro Evangeline's will have some of their favorite Bayou dishes. Members of the Schlafly Marketing and Sales departments suggest pairing the Evangeline's gumbo with Schlafly's APA or Hefeweizen, the Vieux Carre beignets with their Pale Ale and bourbon chicken skewers with Oktoberfest.
Mission Taco Joint is serving up a few varieties of their beloved MexiCali street tacos. Amy Olsen of Anheuser-Busch recommends pairing the carne asada taco with Budweiser or Bud Light, the fish taco with Goose Island's 312 ales, and the grilled chicken taco with Shock Top. Schlafly suggests their Oatmeal Stout with the carne asada taco.
Burger and shake favorite Baileys' Range is serving their grass-fed cheeseburgers and vegetarian cheeseburgers, which Schlafly suggests pairing with their APA or Oktoberfest. Drink a Pale Ale with their loaded French fries, a Hefeweizen with the chilled soba noodles with vegetables and peanut sauce and a Raspberry Hefeweizen with the marinated chicken wrap.
Flaming Gyros is serving classic Greek fare like the gyro sandwich, falafel sandwich and Greek salad. Olsen suggests pairing these with Goose Island's 312 Urban Pale Ale, known for a citrus hop aroma and crisp flavor, and 312 Urban Wheat Ale, with a spicy aroma of Cascade hops and a crispy, fruity ale flavor. For Schlafly brews, pair the gyro sandwich with their Pale Ale, Hefeweizen or APA, and the falafel sandwich with their Oktoberfest.
Triumph Grill will have white bean hummus, which pairs nicely with Goose Island's 312 ales, and jerk porkloin sliders with mango chutney, which is a good match for Bud Light's Mang-o-Rita.
Edwardsville favorite Cleveland-Heath is serving up the gourmet comfort food many make a trip across the river for. Pair their kale salad with Schlafly's Pale Ale or Goose Island's 312 ales, and the homegrown tomato and quinoa salad with the APA. Schlafly's Oatmeal Stout plays off the flavors of both the burger with smoked onion jam and beignets with salted caramel whipped cream.
You can find the full list of Nosh Pit vendors here.

It's revealing that in our increasingly secular culture, people still have a hunger for the magical—the transcendent. Consider the top-grossing movies of 2018, for example. According to the-numbers.com, six of the top 10 were superhero movies, flying, fighting, and blasting their way off the screen and through our wallets. Like the ancient gods of Greek mythology, these superheroes struggle with doubt, jealousy and betrayal—all our human failings amped up with spectacularly destructive results.
While movie scriptwriters create plots that transparently explore contemporary issues and concerns—gender relations, racism, climate change—I believe there's deeper psychology involved. Many of us look around the world, bewildered at the pace of change and struggling to comprehend the various threats of annihilation we face, whether it be via nuclear war, the mass extinction of plant and animal species, or even the off-chance of an asteroid impact. It's hard to know how to cope or what to feel. One feeling is common: powerlessness. So when we see superheroes prevailing against villains bent on destroying the nation, the world or even the universe, it allows us, for a blissful 90 minutes, to glimpse the tantalising possibility of hope; that change is possible; that there are some people (ourselves perhaps?) who might possibly be empowered to make a difference.
But what if it's not just fiction? What if that thrill within us at vicariously experiencing world-changing power is a faint echo of something that is in fact real? "He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end," says Ecclesiastes 3:11, telling us that our thirst for the transcendent is not just wishful thinking, but a hint of a greater reality.
You will receive power
If anyone had the right to feel powerless it was the group of men and women who called themselves disciples of Jesus the Nazarene. In one of the final scenes of John's Gospel we see them huddled in a tightly locked house, mourning the shocking and sudden execution of their Rabbi and fearing that the ruthless soldiers of the Roman Empire might seek them out next.
Without warning, Jesus is standing among them alive and well, but with the injuries from His crucifixion clearly visible—there's no doubt it's Him. "'Peace be with you!'" He greets them. "'As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.' And with that he breathed on them and said, 'Receive the Holy Spirit'" (John 20:21,22).
Receive the Holy Spirit. But what did those words actually mean? New Testament writer Luke records Jesus' additional instructions: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. For John baptised with water, but in a few days you will be baptised with the Holy Spirit. . . . you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth" (Acts 1:4–8). Gift? Baptised? Power? Again, it wasn't clear to the disciples exactly what Jesus was talking about.
But in the next chapter of Luke's book, Acts of the Apostles, the reality of Jesus' promise begins to be revealed: "When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. . . . When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. Utterly amazed, they asked: 'Aren't all these who are speaking Galileans? Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language. . . . we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues. . . . What does this mean?'" (Acts 2:1–12).
What it meant was the beginning of the Christian movement—explosive growth throughout the Roman Empire. Acts recounts a series of events in which these Christ-followers not only suddenly spoke in foreign languages, but healed the sick, raised the dead, escaped prison, teleported, predicted the future and demonstrated incredible insight and courage that amazed even their enemies—"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realised that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus" (Acts 4:13).
It's clear though, that none of these "superpowers" came from the Christians themselves—these incredible gifts were from the Holy Spirit working through them. A number of Bible commentators have quipped that Acts of the Apostles really should have been named Acts of the Holy Spirit as this would be a more accurate descriptor of the events described.

What are spiritual gifts?
A number of spiritual gifts are mentioned within the New Testament—from prophecy to preaching, healing to hospitality (see page 44 for more details). Some are obviously supernatural, others are more everyday abilities only recognised as miraculous by those close to the action. (If I could suddenly juggle chainsaws or do complicated mathematical equations in my head, for example, that would truly be a miracle, even though others can do these things naturally.) The speaking in tongues event recorded in Acts 2 provides us with some important points about genuine spiritual gifts:
≈ Spiritual gifts are given to believers. It doesn't matter whether the believer is new in the faith or more experienced and knowledgeable, spiritual gifts are reserved for those who have surrendered their lives completely to Jesus. Yes, the Holy Spirit still speaks to the hearts of unbelievers—they may even see miracles—but this differs from the ongoing presence of a spiritual gift.
≈ Spiritual gifts are for the benefit of others. The way of Jesus is based on the principle of servanthood, so the proper use of a believer's time, effort and gifts should not be self-serving, but directed to helping other people. The Spiritdriven impulse of the disciples in Acts 2 was to immediately use their new gift to "declare the wonders of God" to others. "Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God's grace in its various forms" (1 Peter 4:10).
≈ Spiritual gifts are diverse. Acts 2 recounts how the believers spoke in different languages, while the apostle Peter began to preach powerfully in the local language and, in the next chapter, healed a man who had been unable to walk from birth. All of these gifts were necessary to demonstrate that God's kingdom had begun to infiltrate Earth. All of these gifts—and more—worked in harmony to change lives and spread the message of Jesus. "There are different kinds of gifts but the same Spirit. There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord" (1 Corinthians 12:4,5).
Where's my superpower?
Maybe you're wondering, If this is all true, why don't I see spiritual gifts in active use today? Many others have asked the same thing.
"You're not looking hard enough," might be the immediate retort from a believer. And it's a valid point. If you spend enough time with genuine Christians, you'll begin to hear stories of lives transformed and events that defy logic. The Holy Spirit is indeed active in people's lives—He is giving them abilities they didn't have before and guiding them to accomplish things they never thought they were capable of. Miracles still happen—"coincidences" that prove to be crucial turning points and even events like unexpected recoveries from terminal illnesses.
But having said that, we're not seeing spectacular Acts-like growth in the numbers of Jesus' followers today—at least in the West—let alone a series of public supernatural events that transcend rational explanation. But this kind of spiritual lull is not unprecedented. In 1 Samuel 3:1 we read: "In those days the word of the Lord was rare; there were not many visions." Sound familiar? Similarly, in Jesus' parable of the 10 bridesmaids, who are symbolic of believers awaiting Jesus' second coming, all 10 of them fell asleep, both the wise and the foolish (Matthew 25:1–13).
Should we expect an awakening? A disruption of the lull? A fresh wind of the Spirit's power? The Bible says yes: "Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your old men will dream dreams, your young men will see visions. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days" (Joel 2:28,29). The apostle Peter quoted these verses to explain the miraculous events of Acts 2, but there's every reason to believe that Joel's ancient prophecy awaits a further and final fulfilment.
The Holy Spirit can't be forced or hurried. His power will be released at the right time and in the right way. You may have sensed His presence and guidance already—He often speaks in a "gentle whisper" (1 Kings 19:12). He has a unique set of gifts designed for you. The first step is to learn how to listen.
He gives good gifts a treasure hunt
Different lists of spiritual gifts are provided in the New Testament. There's overlap between the lists as well as unique gifts mentioned in each list. This suggests there are a larger number and variety of spiritual gifts than those listed.
Read these passages that each mention one or more spiritual gifts:
• Romans 12:6–8
• 1 Corinthians 7:7,8
• 1 Corinthians 12:8–10
• 1 Corinthians 13:1–3
• Ephesians 4:11
• 1 Peter 4:9,10
To recognise your spiritual gifts, consider each of the gifts in these lists carefully. Write them down separately on a sheet of paper. Pray for the presence and power of the Holy Spirit, asking Him to reveal to you which gift(s) He has given you or wants to give you. Discuss your search with some mature Christians—seek their guidance. And if God is leading you toward a particular conclusion, begin to use the gift He's given you and prayerfully review the outcomes.

Laying down the law


As much as I might dislike the temperatures in the winter months, I sure do love dressing for it. Nothing screams winter, or christmas for that matter to me quite like this faux fur stole. I've actually had it for years and it's held up pretty damn well. I love having something like that which instantly elevates any outfit you pair it with.
I bought this lace top on my very first trip to NYC 5 years ago, at Beacons closet. I am so glad I've held onto it all these years, it's come and gone through my style rotation but it is definitely back on in a big way. Especially paired with these high waisted jeans, it's a combo I am really digging right now.
Poor posture is a big problem most of us didn't know we had. Hours spend in front of the computer, behind the wheel, or with your head down staring into the depths of your phone. This makes our chest muscles tighten up, along with the muscles in the front of our neck. When that happens we can't stand up straight, it becomes impossible to have a full range of motion, which often leads to injuries in the shoulder.
Here are some releases/stretches and exercises you can do at home, all you'll need: Trigger point ball, broom stick, rolled up towel.
2. Overhead mid back squeeze: arms straight up overhead holding stick, keep traps relaxed and squeeze midback to bring chest up. Again, keep head down and neck relaxed.
Chili is the best comfort food on a cold winter day! Which is probably why I've made it twice in the last two weeks, I've made a turkey version and a vegetarian version. Both were delicious.
1. Soak the beans over night this removes the indigestible complex sugars that cause gas. Also cook the turkey in a pan with 1 T cumin 1 T chili pepper the night before.
3. When there is about 30 minutes left, cut up bell peppers, zucchini and add it in so it does not become too mushy.
4. Top with cheese, plain greek yogurt and enjoy!! Add more chili flakes if you like it spicy!
My wardrobe is currently reflecting the weather here. It's cold, grey, dreary and I am super over it. I really miss seeing the sun, if its cold, snowy and sunny I am a okay. I don't know how you ladies do it over in Vancouver. Big cozy sweaters, hats, and fluffy jackets are my go-to these days, anything that will keep me warm!
It would have been so easy to go all black with this outfit, but I loved the subtle mix of neutrals with grey and blush. It's hard to get any more dressed up when it's -20 with the wind chill out. But gives me an excuse to wrap myself in blankets and snuggle the dog. As if I needed an excuse for that!!
It's another chilly week in YEG and it's more than tempting to spend all weekend wrapped up in blankets and pretend the outdoors don't exist. But these cool temperatures will last another 6 months so let's try something different.
2. Hot yoga. You're cold? Go into a nice toasty room and stretch it out, perfect cure for the winter blues! Be hot yoga is the bomb.
3. Punch something. Legit the best way to get over your frustration with the cold, punch things! Champs boxing just opened up, perfect timing to try it out.
5. Go to the mountains. It's not quite as chilly there and it's so damn beautiful. Go for a small hike, explore the towns, etc.
This coat is heavy in my rotation, essentially my go-to. It's super cozy but we've hit -17 temperatures so it is in need of layering, which is why this waffle sweatshirt is perfect. Both are super soft and cozy as all hell which is what I want when it's this cold. I'm annoyed that the temperatures went from +15 to -17 in a week but, that's alberta. Just means I get to wear my beanies all the time now. I love a good beanie, especially if it has a pom!
It's officially that time of year where your motivation goes out the window, it's grey out, it's cold, it's straight up miserable. As soon as this happens all you want to do is sleep in, wrap yourself in a cozy blanket and binge watch your favorite show on Netflix. With this usually comes some questionable (albeit delicious) food choices, this can lead to a pretty viscous cycle that leaves you feeling crappy. It's important to try to avoid falling into the pitfall of feeling unmotivated during the colder months especially here where the colder months are 8 months!
Write out your weekly schedule of when/where/how you are going to work out, it's written out and therefore more likely to happen.
For me, bouldering is a winter activity, I missed it all summer but we did more outdoor activities so I am so excited to get back into it!
Someone waiting for you makes you way more likely to show up for it, besides it makes it a social outing and it's fun to catch up!
4. Get that Vitamin D.
Since it's gloomy/dark out we get a lot less vitamin D through sunlight and this can have a huge impact on our mood and motivation. Supplementing with Vit D is a great way to ensure these levels don't dip below ideal and can help keep you from feeling the winter blues too.
5. Eat lot's of fresh fruits and vegetables.
It's more expensive but they're so good for you, helps keep you regular and get a lot of the vitamins and minerals you need everyday.
It's funny how I used to be all about bold prints, colours and now I am so drawn to neutrals. It's interesting how our styles change as we change over the years. At one point I was always dressed well even if just for school, but at this point I spend so much of my day in workout gear it's hard to be bothered. Which is so sad!
I love dressing up and putting together outfits but when it's just for an hour or so of my day I am gravitating to more casual pieces. I think that's why neutrals like this have been so important for me, casual yet pulled together and easy to mix and match. Although you can take the girl out of fashion but you can't take fashion out of the girl! And my heart will always always have a soft spot for brights, like this gorgeous bag.

De Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ of the Apostolic Faith is een kerkgenootschap dat ontstaan is in de Verenigde Staten. Het kerkgenootschap in ontstaan in 1913, uit een aantal losse pinkstergemeenten.
De kerk staat bekend als een van de Oneness Churches, een groep Apostolische kerken die sterk de nadruk leggen op levensheiliging. Vrouwen mogen hun haar niet knippen, daarnaast moeten ze jurken of rokken dragen, in plaats van broeken, waarbij naar de bijbel wordt verwezen. Vrouwen en mannen wordt verzocht om zich te kleden in een eerbaar gewaad. Ook het gebruik van make-up en het dragen van sieraden zijn omstreden. Andere omstreden gebruiken zijn het bezitten van televisie, korte broeken bij mannen, het bezoeken van bioscopen, dansen en gemengd zwemmen. Er wordt gebruikgemaakt van de King James Version en in de erediensten wordt door vrouwen het hoofd bedekt.

De indruk wordt daarmee gewekt dat de kerk daarmee verwant is met bijvoorbeeld bevindelijk gereformeerde kerken, echter het verloop van de erediensten is totaal verschillend. Deze diensten zijn zeer levendig met zang, muziek, handopleggingen en tongentaal. Veel kerkleden zijn van Afrikaanse afkomst. In 1957 splitst de Bible Way Church of Our Lord Jesus Christ zich af van het kerkverband.

De kerk groeit hard, in 1990 waren er circa 30.000 leden. De kerk kent wereldwijd 582 gemeenten, voornamelijk in Noord-Amerika, maar ook in West-Afrika, Mexico, Dominicaanse Republiek, Haïti en de Filipijnen.

An Open in sports terminology refers to a sporting event or game tournament that is open to contestants regardless of their professional or amateur status, age, ability, gender, sex, or other categorization. In many sports, preliminary qualifying events, open to all entrants, are held to successively reduce the field to a manageable number for participation in a final championship event, which itself may involve elimination rounds.
The term 'Open' may not be absolute. For example, in the U.S. Open in golf, entrants at qualifying events must have a USGA official handicap of 1.4 or less. Other minimum performance standards or eligibility criteria may apply in other sports.
Opens are usually found in golf, tennis, badminton, quizbowl, fighting games, snooker, darts, volleyball, ultimate, squash and chess.

This Day in History – 5 Av/August 6
The mushroom cloud over Hiroshima after the dropping of "Little Boy."
(Bob Caron)
5 Av
Yahrtzeiten
5332/1572, Harav Yitzchak Luria, zt"l, the Ari Hakadosh (5333/1573 according to another opinion).
5571/1811, Harav Shimon Isserlish, zt"l, Rav of Slutzk, son of the Rema.
5659/1899, Harav Ezriel Hildesheimer, zt"l, Rav of Adas Yisrael, Berlin.
Harav Chaim Ozer Grodzensky, Zt"l
Harav Chaim Ozer Grodzensky was born on 9 Elul 5623/1863 to Harav Dovid Shlomo. As a child he was taught by his father, and as a youth he attended the yeshivah in Volozhin, where he studied under the Netziv. He married the daughter of Harav Eliyahu Eliezer, zt"l, a Dayan in Vilna; she was also a granddaughter of Harav Yisrael Salanter, zt"l.
Rav Chaim Ozer successfully served as his father-in-law's right-hand man. The combination of his sterling character, his complete dedication to Torah and his devotion to performing acts of tzedakah and chessed made him immensely beloved to the people of Vilna. After his father-in-law's petirah, Rav Chaim Ozer was appointed to fill his place, and he became the esteemed Dayan of Vilna.
His home was a beis vaad lachachamim, where Rabbanim and prominent askanim were always present discussing Torah or other urgent matters. Everything of importance to Vilna, and to world Jewry for that matter, was dealt with in Rav Chaim Ozer's home, which was the nerve center of Klal Yisrael.
Hardly a Rav, or even a shochet, was appointed anywhere in Russia without his agreement. He was involved in the appointment of the Chacham Bashi in Istanbul and in the choice of an Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi for Yerushalayim.
A large number of Rav Chaim Ozer's activities were dedicated to supporting the poor of Eretz Yisrael and the Torah and chessed institutions of the Yishuv Hayashan.
A meeting was held in Vilna during America's Great Depression to discuss the financial crisis of Europe's yeshivos. One of those present stood up and said, "Given only natural means and considering the financial situation of the yeshivos, they will all close down."
Rav Chaim Ozer jumped up and exlaimed, "Chas v'shalom! The Torah asserts that 'it will not be forgotten by his descendants' — the Torah will not be forgotten from Yisrael!"
During the winter of 5700/1940, when thousands of Jews fled to Vilna, which was a temporary refuge at that time, Rav Chaim Ozer's home became literally open to the masses. He tried to help whomever he possibly could, despite his own physical weakness.
Rav Chaim Ozer was niftar before the Nazis captured Vilna, on 5 Av 5700/1940, and was buried there.

In 1945, during World War II, the U.S. B-29 Superfortress Enola Gay dropped an atomic bomb code-named "Little Boy" on Hiroshima, Japan, resulting in an estimated 140,000 deaths. Three days later, the United States exploded a nuclear device over Nagasaki; five days after that, Imperial Japan surrendered.
