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.
The City of Reno and attorneys for the investment firm behind the South Reno Daybreak development have reached an agreement for the project to appear before council again this month.
Newport Pacific Land Company sued the city in February after the Reno City Council denied the development in November of 2018.
The development proposes 4,700 residential units in what project critics are calling the "last available space to store floodwaters and for natural percolation into the soil in the Steamboat Creek watershed."
Last week, however, it was announced that the developers and the Reno City Attorney's Office "have reached a mutual understanding regarding modification and remand of the Project Applications to City Council for possible approval on or before September 23, 2019."

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.

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.

The Edibles List is your source for information and reviews on medical marijuana edibles, dispensaries, doctors and all else in the legal cannabis community.
Alan Brochstein CFA of 420investor.com and Seekingalpha.com is known as the Cannabis Financial Analyst, but when I decided to vet his background I uncovered a very large gash to the tune of $800K during his time as Director of THE LYNN AND JOEL BROCHSTEIN FOUNDATION, INC. To be fair I insisted Mr. Brochstein put his blogging on hold to provide proof that none of my findings were true and I am still waiting for the facts. All of this information was found in the public domain as not to violate any state or federal laws.

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.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

1. WHITE TOWNSHIP COMMITTEE MINUTES OF MEETING
AUGUST 14, 2014
CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Sam Race called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. and stated ‘Adequate Notice of
this meeting of August 14, 2014 has been given in accordance with the Open Public Meetings
Act by forwarding a notice of the date, time, and location of the meeting to the The Express-
Times and Star-Gazette; and by posting a copy thereof on the bulletin board in the Municipal

and Clerk Kathleen Reinalda.
ENERGY AGGREGATION PRESENTATION
Daniel Campbell of the Jersey Energy Group presented the concept of a Government
Energy Aggregation program. Mr. Campbell made his original presentation at the May meeting
and was asked to come back by Mayor Race. The issue of concern is that, if approved by the
committee, all residents are automatically included, unless they specifically choose to opt out.
This part of the program was not well received by Mr. Herb and Mrs. Mackey and the public in
attendance. They would prefer to see an ‘opt in’ feature so the choice is made by the resident,
not by the governing body. The committee thanked Mr. Campbell for coming back a second
time to discuss the program.
C.A.L.M. PRESENTATION
Rita Foti, representing ‘Citizens Against the Legalization of Marijuana’, presented facts
and figures to the governing body as to why marijuana should not be legalized in the State of NJ
and specifically White Township. Upon conclusion of the presentation, the committee turned to
Attorney Tipton for legal guidance. Mr. Tipton explained that currently the State of NJ considers
marijuana illegal. Should it be legalized in the future, any township ordinances prohibiting it
could be challenged. It was agreed by both the committee and the C.A.L.M. representatives in
attendance that a resolution will be drafted strongly opposing the legalization and production of
recreational marijuana in the State of NJ. Upon adoption, the resolution will be sent to
legislators and state officials. This was agreed upon on motion by Mrs. Mackey, seconded by
Mr. Herb and carried by unanimous favorable roll call vote. Herb – yes, Mackey – yes, Race –
yes. Motion carried.

PRESENTATION OF MINUTES
Motion was made by Mrs. Mackey, seconded by Mayor Race with Mr. Herb abstaining
(not present at meeting) to approve the July 10, 2014 Regular Meeting Minutes as presented.
Herb – abstain, Mackey – yes, Race – yes. Motion carried.
CORRESPONDENCE
Dana Thatcher requested he be allowed to plant asparagus near his road beautification
project on Block 18, Lot 13.03, which was leased out at the end of 2013 for three years. Mrs.
Mackey recused herself as Mackey Orchards was the winning bidder for the lease. Attorney
Tipton explained to Mr. Thatcher that the township must follow the Local Public Contracts Law
when leasing property. It cannot just provide Mr. Thatcher with a piece of land to grow
asparagus. Mayor Race asked about the possibility of a stipend. Mr. Herb said he was not in
favor of that as other volunteers do not request stipends for their efforts. Mr. Thatcher came to
the township a few years ago with the idea of his road beautification project explaining that it
would not cost the taxpayers any money. This prompted the township to segment a small
portion of Block 18 Lot 13.03 out prior to bidding the land for lease.
A letter was received from Oxford Township seeking the committee’s interest in shared
services for a municipal clerk and/or road supervisor. The committee asked the clerk to get
additional information from the Oxford committee.
A request for assistance in updating the County’s 9-1-1 maps was received from the
Department of Public Safety. Mr. Herb said he would reach out to the Department to assist them.
16. A request for ‘tax forgiveness’ was received from the Augustinian Recollect Sisters. Due
to non-payment, the Sisters have accumulated approximately $2000 in interest. The committee
felt that not enough information was provided to even consider the request. Non-payment is not
a hardship making this request even more difficult to grant.
ADJOURNMENT
Being no further business to come before the Committee, the meeting was adjourned at
9:37pm on motion by Mrs. Mackey, seconded by Mr. Herb and carried byunanimous favorable vote.
Respectfully Submitted,
