Terra Tech Corp. Edible Garden Issue August 14, 2014Norman Gates
A greenhouse in Warren County is at the center of that debate. People living around the Edible Garden plant say it was fine when the company started growing organic vegetables. They're worried about what growing marijuana there will do to their community. The petition clearly states the position of some Brookfield Glen residents in White Township, Warren County. They oppose the legalization and production of marijuana in the Garden State. “This is a horror," said Rita Foti, organizer of the petition. "Somebody wants to turn the growth of marijuana into a healthy cash crop.” Fred and Rita Foti caught wind of the possible plan after seeing news reports that owners of Edible Garden Greenhouse on Route 519 want to start a marijuana farm if recreational use of the drug is legalized in Trenton.
Let's discuss it here. I posted this in the
forum earlier today:

Immune system dysregulation is well-recognized in autism and thought to be part of the etiology of this disorder. The endocannabinoid system is a key regulator of the immune system via the cannabinoid receptor type 2 (CB2R) which is highly expressed on macrophages and microglial cells. We have previously published significant differences in peripheral blood mononuclear cell CB2R gene expression in the autism population. The use of the Gc protein-derived Macrophage Activating Factor (GcMAF), an endogenous glycosylated vitamin D binding protein responsible for macrophage cell activation has demonstrated positive effects in the treatment of autistic children. In this current study, we investigated the in vitro effects of GcMAF treatment on the endocannabinoid system gene expression, as well as cellular activation in blood monocyte-derived macrophages (BMDMs) from autistic patients compared to age-matched healthy developing controls.
Conclusions
This study presents the first observations of GcMAF effects on the transcriptionomics of the endocannabinoid system and expression of CB2R protein. These data point to a potential nexus between endocannabinoids, vitamin D and its transporter proteins, and the immune dysregulations observed with autism.
The Drug Enforcement Administration is raising the production quota for marijuana that is ordered by the federal government.
The National Institute on Drug Abuse produces marijuana for the purpose of research. The DEA is giving the agency permission to produce up to 600 kilograms of marijuana this year.
"The aggregate production quota for marijuana should be increased in order to provide a continuous and uninterrupted supply of marijuana in support of DEA-registered researchers who are approved by the federal government to utilize marijuana in their research protocols," the agency wrote.
The United States Government established a Claims Process to make available up to $1.33 billion or more to farmers who alleged discrimination by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) based on being female, or based on being Hispanic, in making or servicing farm loans during certain periods between 1981 and 2000. If you qualified and submitted a timely claim, you could receive an award of up to $50,000 or up to $250,000 in cash, depending on the evidence that you submitted. USDA will also provide a total of up to $160 million in debt relief to successful Claimants who currently owe USDA money for eligible farm loans. Successful Claimants may also receive an additional amount, equal to 25% of the combined cash award plus the principal amount of debt relief, to help pay federal taxes that may be owed.

The invention also relates to plants and varieties produced by the method of essential derivation from plants of transformed Cannabis and to plants of transformed Cannabis reproduced by vegetative methods, including but not limited to tissue culture of regenerated cells or tissue from transformed Cannabis.
Fitzgerald was special counsel to the Senate Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee in 1953. He was commissioned by Congressman Charles Tobey of Massachusetts to investigate the obstruction of natural cancer treatments by the American Medical Association.
His report to the committee is known as “The Fitzgerald Report” of 1953.
Alone, this information is a bombshell. But, to my knowledge the information you are about to read hasn’t been put into the same or connect-the-dots context before.
The U.S. Patent Office issued patent #6630507 to the U.S.Health and Human Services filed on 2/2/2001. The patent lists the use of certain cannabinoids found within the cannabis sativa plant as useful in certain neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and HIV dementia.
Since cannabis sativa (marijuana) contains compounds recognized and endorsed by an agency of the U.S. government- Why is it that marijuana remains on the Federal Schedule One list of drugs? The issuance of patent #6630507 is a direct contradiction of the governments own definition for classification of a Schedule 1 drug.
To address the rapid increase in crime associated with the marijuana industry, MPSI will focus on providing armed and unarmed security for retail and grow operations, inventory and revenue transport, compliance oversight and workplace protection to the medical and adult use cannabis industry in all current and future marijuana legal markets.
The Edibles List is your source for information and reviews on medical marijuana edibles, dispensaries, doctors and all else in the legal cannabis community.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Rita Foti, spokesperson for a group of citizens from Brookfield, expressed concerns
regarding comments made at the Grand Opening of Edible Gardens, April 16th
, (former Gro-Rite
site) and assumptions made by the press and television follow up reports that if legalized in NJ,
marijuana might be grown on site. Edible Gardens is located adjacent to the Brookfield senior
development. Mrs. Foti presented a petition signed by approximately 400 residents of White
Township indicating their opposition to the concept. She had a prepared speech listing the
negative effects of marijuana usage and the possible impact on a community as a whole.
Although the concerned residents understood that it is not legal in NJ, they asked for the
township to consider an ordinance making the growth of marijuana illegal in the township.
Bryan Vande Vrede, representing Edible Gardens, spoke about the Right to Farm law and
businesses looking towards the future to stay competitive. He assured those present that as long
as it is illegal, the substance will not be grown. The residents of Brookfield requested the subject
be continued at another public meeting with the topic specifically listed on the agenda. The
committee was agreeable to having the matter on the agenda at a subsequent meeting.

bills by utilizing a third party energy provider. If approved by the committee, all residents are
included, unless they choose to opt out. Committeepersons Mackey and Herb said they did not
feel comfortable with the ‘opt out’ feature. They would prefer residents be able to ‘opt in’.
Mayor Race said he felt strongly that the program would be a benefit to all residents. He
requested the presentation be made again to allow for further questions. Mr. Herb and Mrs.
Mackey were agreeable.
NEW BUSINESS
The committee reviewed a Buckley Avenue budget from Engineer Sterbenz. He

The Colby Court Association, represented by Jack Nicholais prepared a package for
committee review regarding the use of ‘jake brakes’ on County Route 519. Mr. Nicholais was

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Dana Thatcher requested he be allowed to plant asparagus near his road beautification

from them. Mrs. Mackey rejoined the committee upon conclusion of this subject.

Motion was made by Mrs. Mackey, seconded by Mr. Herb and carried by unanimous
favorable roll call vote to approve the May 8, 2014 Regular Meeting Minutes and the May 8,
2014 Executive Session Meeting Minutes as presented. Herb – yes, Mackey – yes, Race – yes.
Motion carried.
OTHER MATTERS
Mr. Herb said he had been contacted by the school about taking down the large pine tree
in the front median area of the parking lot. The tree has overgrown its ability to be properly
managed, especially during the holidays for tree lighting ceremonies. He discussed the
21. possibility of the DPW taking it down. The Road Supervisor agreed this could be handled by the
road crew with the addition of a bucket truck. Mr. Bell said he could get prices for this. The
committee agreed.
On motion by Mrs. Mackey, seconded by Mr. Herb and carried by unanimous favorable
vote, the following Resolution was adopted:
