text: Nothing excites investors more than a turnaround story. A company or stock that was down on its luck and has finally turned the corner is a feel-good play that's hard to ignore.. One company in the healthcare sector fits this definition perfectly. After soaring to new heights in the early 2000's, the company was racked by scandals and lawsuits nearly driving the company into bankruptcy. However, after a reorganization and a new outlook, the company has rebuilt its image and business into a successful company that's thriving today.. The healthcare industry is a growing field and a defensive one to be in considering how delicate the global economy is. One factor helping the industry along is an aging demographic. As of 2015, 14% of the US population was aged 65 or older. By 2020, that number is expected to rise to 22% thanks largely to the baby boomer generation who are heading into their retirement years.

********In a new Global News series, we’ll be taking a deep dive into marijuana legalization. Watch the video above for a province-to-province look on how you will be able to buy recreational pot once it’s legalized.

Recreational marijuana in Canada is on track to be legalized in July 2018, but there’s a real mix of approaches across the country when it comes to regulating it and selling it.

Across each province, there are still many lingering questions such as where Canadians can buy pot, how much it will cost and the kinds of cannabis products that will be available to the general public.

READ MORE: Investors bet on weed companies ahead of legalization date

Eight provinces have set their minimum age to purchase at 19; Alberta and Quebec have made it 18. It’s also looking like you can buy five different cannabis products, which include dry, fresh, oil cannabis, seeds and plants in most provinces.

Story continues below advertisement

One thing to keep in mind, though, is that Quebec and Manitoba have said no to home-grows, so it’s not really clear if you’ll be able to buy seeds, or whatever else is needed to grow marijuana plants at home, says Trina Fraser, an Ottawa based lawyer at Brazeau Seller Law who specializes in cannabis business law.

Based on frameworks, proposed laws and guidelines released by the provinces, marijuana will mostly be distributed through liquor boards or subsidiaries of liquor boards, like the Cannabis Management Corp. in New Brunswick.

In terms of what Canadians can expect to pay, it’s looking like it will be roughly $10 a gram. In December, finance ministers agreed they wanted to set a price that would deter people from buying pot from the black market.

textbook:
that’s for sure, is that you won’t be able to buy pot just anywhere. In fact, only two provinces will have government-run stores, with the rest of the country leaving sales up to private retailers.

In Ontario, the largest province in Canada, the government has announced that it will run its own online marijuana store, while in Quebec, the government plans to run all its own cannabis stores.

The federal government has also set some strict rules around marketing and packaging, with health warnings and plain packaging required.

READ MORE: Here’s what the future of weed in Canada could look like

But even with legalization just months away, there are still many unanswered questions. For example, will there be a shortage of weed when it first becomes legal? And what about edibles, will those be available right away or will it take longer for the government to figure out how to regulate them?

Only time will tell, but one thing is for sure, the landscape of marijuana in Canada is changing fast.

Glossary:
- Marijuana: A drug made from the dried leaves and flowers of the Cannabis plant.
- Legalization: The process of making something that was previously illegal, legal.
- Recreational: Refers to activities that are done for pleasure or enjoyment.
- Pot: Slang term for marijuana.
- Regulating: To control or supervise the production, sale, and use of something.

Title: Real Estate Listings

Introduction: In this lesson, we will learn about real estate listings and how to read them. We will cover the different parts of a real estate listing, how to interpret the information provided, and how to use this information to make informed decisions when buying or selling property.

Section 1: Understanding Real Estate Listings

Topic 1: What is a Real Estate Listing?
- A real estate listing is a public advertisement used to market a property for sale or rent.
- Listings provide information about the property, such as its location, size, features, and price.
- Real estate agents use multiple listing services (MLS) to share their listings with other agents and the public.

Topic 2: Understanding the Parts of a Real Estate Listing
- Address: The physical location of the property.
- Price: The asking price or current bid, if it's an auction.
- Type: Whether it's a house, condo, townhouse, or other type of property.
- Bedrooms and Bathrooms: The number of bedrooms and bathrooms in the property.
- Square Footage: The size of the property in square feet.
- Acreage: The size of the property in acres, if it's a larger parcel of land.
- Age: The age of the property.
- Features: Any special features of the property, such as a swimming pool or large yard.
- Taxes: The estimated annual property taxes for the property.
- HOA Fees: Any monthly or annual fees associated with the property.

Section 2: Reading Real Estate Listings

Topic 1: Analyzing the Information Provided
- Compare the listed price with the estimated value of similar properties in the area.
- Consider the condition of the property and any necessary repairs or renovations.
- Look for any red flags, such as liens or legal issues associated with the property.

Topic 2: Using Real Estate Listings to Make Informed Decisions
- Research the neighborhood and local amenities to determine if it's a good fit for your needs.
- Calculate the potential return on investment if you're buying to rent out the property.
- Consider the commute time to work or school if you're buying a property in a new area.

Section 3: Practical Examples

Example 1: You're looking for a 3-bedroom house within a 30-minute commute to your workplace. You find a listing on the MLS that meets your criteria, but the asking price is higher than you expected. You decide to research the property further and find that it's in a desirable neighborhood with good schools and parks. You also calculate the estimated property taxes and HOA fees to ensure they fit within your budget.

Example 2: You're considering selling your property and want to get an idea of its value. You look up similar properties in your area on the MLS and compare their features and prices. You then use this information to set a realistic asking price for your property.

Conclusion: By understanding the parts of a real estate listing and how to read them, you can make informed decisions when buying or selling property. Always research the property and neighborhood thoroughly before making an offer or listing your property for sale.

text: How Did We Get Here?. From the outset, the United States and North Korea approached the Hanoi Summit with different goals in mind. Despite President Trump having received support from both parties of the United States, both Trump and Kim walked away from Hanoi without signing any kind of joint deal. In this seminar, Dr. Siegfried S. Hecker questions whether or not President Trump made the right decision in declining to mediate with the DPRK. Was that a wise decision, or is this a hinge point for worse things to come?. As a nuclear scientist, Dr. Hecker analyzes technical and political issues in order to answer this question. He reviews past key decision points in the evolution of North Korea’s program from 1992 to 2017, and discusses ways in which to address and manage the security risks that could propel greater exchanges between the United States and North Korea..

Lesson: Nuclear Diplomacy with North Korea

Introduction:
Nuclear diplomacy refers to the negotiations and agreements between countries regarding nuclear weapons, technology, and policies. In this lesson, we will learn about the history of nuclear diplomacy with North Korea and analyze the key decision points that led to the current situation.

Section 1: Background
- North Korea has been developing its nuclear weapons program since the 1990s.
- In 1992, North Korea signed the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which commits signatories to not develop nuclear weapons.
- However, North Korea began to violate the treaty in the early 2000s by withdrawing from the treaty and conducting nuclear tests.

Section 2: Key Decision Points
- In 2003, North Korea announced that it had developed nuclear weapons and withdrew from the NPT.
- In 2006, North Korea conducted its first nuclear test, which was met with international condemnation.
- In 2009, North Korea conducted another nuclear test, and the United Nations Security Council responded with sanctions.
- In 2012, North Korea conducted its third nuclear test, and the United States and South Korea responded with joint military exercises.
- In 2017, North Korea conducted its sixth nuclear test, which was its most powerful to date.

Section 3: Analysis
- Why did North Korea decide to develop nuclear weapons?
    - North Korea believed that developing nuclear weapons would provide it with security against potential aggression from the United States and South Korea.
- What were the consequences of North Korea's decision to develop nuclear weapons?
    - North Korea faced increased isolation and economic sanctions from the international community.
    - The United States and South Korea increased their military presence in the region.

Section 4: Future Prospects
- What can be done to address the security risks posed by North Korea's nuclear weapons program?
    - One option is to pursue diplomatic negotiations to limit North Korea's nuclear capabilities.
    - Another option is to increase economic sanctions on North Korea to pressure it to abandon its nuclear program.
- How can we ensure that future negotiations are successful?
    - Both sides must come to the table with realistic expectations and be willing to compromise.
    - The United States and North Korea must work together to address the underlying issues that led to the development of North Korea's nuclear program.

Conclusion:
Nuclear diplomacy with North Korea is a complex issue that requires careful consideration of both technical and political factors. By understanding the key decision points in North Korea's nuclear program and analyzing the potential consequences of different actions, we can make informed decisions about how to address this important issue. Ultimately, success will require cooperation and compromise from all parties involved.

There are so many national months and days, sometimes it’s hard to keep up. Most of the time, I’m not really interested, but national relaxation month is smack bang in the middle of summer, and for someone with near-constant anxiety, this sounds like a pretty good idea.

I’m a little late on the idea of relaxing, but I’m aiming to spend of the rest of the month (and hopefully year) in a more relaxed state of mind, anticipating a change in my work ethic and overall attitude. Anything that will reduce stress and anxiety is a yes from me.

One of the ways I’m taking advantage of this relaxing month of the year is switching off from the digital world a lot more. In a creative career online, it’s really easy to get carried away with work. The same can be said for pretty much anyone who is self-employed or works from home, it’s difficult to work out where the office ends and the home starts.

Auntie Jackie, the queen of makeup, actually gave me the idea of no social media within the first hour waking up and it’s actually made quite a bit of difference. Usually when I wake up, the first thing I do is shove a screen in my face and start catching up on the lives of others while I was fast asleep. It’s only been a couple of weeks, but ignoring my phone when I first open my eyes has actually changed my attitude in the morning. I’m not as grumpy, as I get out of bed and start the day straight away, rather than waste extra time staying cosy – then not wanting to leave.

Chilling out when it comes to social media has been my goal since the beginning of the year and it’s made such a huge difference in my approach to life and puts all my priorities in order. I still can’t live without my phone (let’s no go too far), but I can happily go most of the day without thinking about it. My anxiety levels and general stressed have relaxed a little too.

Another way to relax is to treat myself more. And trust me, I’ve seen the worst of the “treat yo self” mentality and have managed to develop and element of self-control, but I still think it’s important to make yourself smile every now and then. Rather than spending little bits of money here and there that make me happy for about an hour, I have been spending the cash on days out, or special occasions that would really relax me.

At the moment, I’m thinking about a little spa trip with my girls at The Grand Hotel in York. If that doesn’t rhyme with relaxation I don’t know what does. It’s only an hour’s drive from my home and I love the idea of a little luxury with my favourite people. The spa has skilled therapists that can work away tensions, and offers facials, massages and beauty treatments. Believe it or not, I have never been to a spa, so I think The Grand Hotel is the perfect introduction into the world of tranquillity. Plus, the whirlpool looks really cool and I want to try.

The third way I’m taking advantage of National Relaxation Month is a bunch of reading. It’s a simple, inexpensive hobby that has made me happy since childhood, and I’d love to curl up with a book every night before bed. Rather than spend endless hours at my desk, I have purchased a couple of books (thanks to the recommendations from Goodreads) and plan to get back into my reading routine.

I’ve always been a shy person, and would sit for hours as a child and read while other kids played. Sure, I felt left out, but I was way too timid to ask to join so books were my friends instead. The thing I love about books is how lost you can get in them. They’re a timeless form of entertainment, and they open your mind to so much in the world; plus it’s like a mini movie in your head. I have recently finished Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine, and although struggled to get into it at first, I genuinely looked forward to diving into Eleanor’s world every evening. It’s the perfect escape.

I also have the Calm book, which is based on the amazing app. So far, I’m loving it and it’s a new journal to obsess over. Some of the tips in there are wonderful for anxiety, I really recommend picking up a copy!

August might be creeping to an end, but I still want to try and focus on slowing down and relaxing for the rest of the year.

text: Rahul Gandhi, Congress general secretary, has proposed that the party give at least twenty five per cent of the tickets in the general elections to fresh candidates who have never contested a parliament election. Ideally, these candidates will be in the 25-40 years age group.. According to Congress leaders, the new faces need not necessarily be from those with organisational experience. Quite a few Youth Congress leaders in various states, along with young activists associated with grassroots-level NGOs, will be considered for tickets.. The major thrust of fielding these fresh candidates will be in UP and Bihar, where the party’s performance has been dismal over the last couple of decades. Rahul Gandhi’s office has started identifying potential candidates. Interestingly, age and activism are not the sole criteria. Special emphasis has been laid on the educational background of aspirants as well.

Lesson: Introduction to Nuclear Energy

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Nuclear energy is the energy released by the nucleus of an atom, which can be harnessed for various purposes such as generating electricity or producing heat. The nucleus of an atom contains protons and neutrons, which are held together by the strong nuclear force. When the nucleus splits or fuses, it releases a large amount of energy in the form of gamma rays, which can be converted into electrical power.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

One example of nuclear energy being used is in nuclear power plants. These plants use controlled fission reactions to produce steam, which drives turbines to generate electricity. Another example is the use of nuclear weapons, where uncontrolled fission reactions release massive amounts of energy in the form of an explosion.

## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios

One real-world scenario where nuclear energy is used is in medicine. Radioisotopes, which are atoms with unstable nuclei that emit radiation, are used to diagnose and treat various diseases. For example, technetium-99m is used in medical imaging to help doctors see inside the body and determine what is causing a patient's symptoms.

## Glossary
- Nucleus: The central part of an atom, containing protons and neutrons.
- Fission: The process by which the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, releasing energy.
- Fusion: The process by which two or more smaller nuclei combine to form a larger nucleus, releasing energy.
- Radioisotope: An isotope that emits radiation due to an unstable nucleus.

## Conclusion

In this lesson, we learned about the basic principles of nuclear energy and some of its practical applications. We also explored how nuclear energy is used in real-world scenarios such as medicine. By understanding the concepts behind nuclear energy, we can better appreciate its potential benefits and risks.

Lesson Title: Understanding the Importance of Forests in Mitigating Climate Change

Introduction:
Forests play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in their biomass. This lesson will explore the importance of forests in mitigating climate change, the scientific methods used to measure carbon storage, and the challenges faced in implementing sustainable forest management practices.

Section 1: The Role of Forests in Mitigating Climate Change

Theoretical Concept:
Forests act as carbon sinks by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in their biomass, such as trees, soil, and underground vegetation. This process is known as carbon sequestration.

Practical Example:
Imagine a forest that covers 100 hectares. If this forest absorbs 5 tons of carbon dioxide per year, it would reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by 0.0005%. While this may seem like a small number, if all forests around the world could absorb the same amount of carbon dioxide, it would significantly reduce the impact of climate change.

Definitions:
Carbon sink: A natural or artificial system that absorbs more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it releases.
Biomass: The total mass of living organisms in a given area, including plants, animals, and microorganisms.

Section 2: Measuring Carbon Storage in Forests

Theoretical Concept:
There are several methods used to measure carbon storage in forests, including remote sensing, ground-based measurements, and inventory models. These methods help scientists estimate the amount of carbon stored in trees, soil, and underground vegetation.

Practical Example:
Using remote sensing technology, scientists can measure the density of trees in a forest and estimate the amount of carbon stored in the biomass. They can also use ground-based measurements to collect samples of soil and underground vegetation to determine the amount of carbon stored in these areas. Inventory models are used to estimate the amount of carbon stored in forests over time.

Definitions:
Remote sensing: The process of collecting information about an object or area without making physical contact with it.
Ground-based measurements: Measurements taken on the ground, such as tree density and soil samples.
Inventory models: Mathematical models used to estimate the amount of carbon stored in forests over time.

Section 3: Challenges in Implementing Sustainable Forest Management Practices

Theoretical Concept:
Implementing sustainable forest management practices can be challenging due to economic, political, and social factors. These challenges must be addressed in order to ensure that forests continue to serve as effective carbon sinks.

Practical Example:
One challenge in implementing sustainable forest management practices is the economic pressure to cut down forests for timber production. This can lead to deforestation, which reduces the amount of carbon stored in the biomass. Another challenge is political instability, which can prevent governments from implementing policies that protect forests. Finally, social factors such as poverty and lack of education can lead to unsustainable forest practices, such as logging and burning.

Definitions:
Sustainable forest management: The practice of managing forests in a way that ensures their long-term health and productivity while maintaining their environmental, social, and economic values.

Glossary:
Carbon sink: A natural or artificial system that absorbs more carbon dioxide from the atmosphere than it releases.
Biomass: The total mass of living organisms in a given area, including plants, animals, and microorganisms.
Remote sensing: The process of collecting information about an object or area without making physical contact with it.
Ground-based measurements: Measurements taken on the ground, such as tree density and soil samples.
Inventory models: Mathematical models used to estimate the amount of carbon stored in forests over time.
Sustainable forest management: The practice of managing forests in a way that ensures their long-term health and productivity while maintaining their environmental, social, and economic values.

Conclusion:
Forests play a crucial role in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in their biomass. By understanding the methods used to measure carbon storage and the challenges faced in implementing sustainable forest management practices, we can work towards a more sustainable future.

Application:
The skills gained from this lesson can be applied to other areas of study, such as environmental science, biology, and geography. By understanding the importance of forests in mitigating climate change, we can make informed decisions about land use and conservation efforts.

Lesson: How to Read and Understand League Tables

Introduction:
League tables are a common way to compare the performance of schools, colleges, and universities. They show how well students have done in exams and can help you decide which institution is right for you. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand league tables, so that you can make informed decisions about your education.

Section 1: Understanding League Tables

Topic 1: What is a league table?
A league table is a list that ranks institutions based on their performance in exams or other measures. It can show how well a school or college has done compared to others in the same area or subject.

Topic 2: How are league tables created?
League tables are usually created by comparing data from different sources, such as exam results, student satisfaction surveys, and graduate employment rates. The data is then analyzed and presented in a way that makes it easy to compare institutions.

Topic 3: What information do league tables contain?
League tables usually contain information about the institution's performance in exams, the percentage of students who go on to higher education, the number of students who get jobs after graduation, and the overall satisfaction of students and staff.

Section 2: Reading and Interpreting League Tables

Topic 1: How do I read a league table?
To read a league table, start by looking at the ranking of the institution you are interested in. Then, look at the other institutions in the same rank to see how they compare. You can also look at the individual measures used to create the table, such as exam results or student satisfaction.

Topic 2: How do I interpret the data in a league table?
When interpreting the data in a league table, it's important to remember that not all measures are created equal. For example, some institutions may have a higher proportion of students going on to higher education, but this doesn't necessarily mean they are better than others. You should also consider the context of the data, such as the type of institution and the subjects studied.

Topic 3: What if two institutions have the same ranking in a league table?
If two institutions have the same ranking in a league table, it means that they have performed equally well in the measures used to create the table. However, this doesn't mean that they are identical in all respects. You should still look at the individual measures used to create the table to see how they compare.

Section 3: Using League Tables to Make Decisions

Topic 1: How can I use league tables to choose an institution?
League tables can be a useful tool when choosing an institution, but you should also consider other factors, such as the type of institution, the subjects studied, and the location. You should also visit the institution and speak to current students and staff to get a feel for the place.

Topic 2: What if an institution is not listed in a league table?
If an institution is not listed in a league table, it doesn't necessarily mean that it is not a good choice. It may not have enough data available, or it may not participate in the creation of the table. You should still research the institution thoroughly before making a decision.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have learned how to read and understand league tables, and how to use them to make informed decisions about our education. By understanding the data and considering other factors, we can make the best choice for our needs and goals.

Glossary:
- League Table: A list that ranks institutions based on their performance in exams or other measures.
- Ranking: The position of an institution in a league table.
- Measures: The individual data points used to create a league table.
- Context: The background information that can affect the interpretation of data.

I really like that they have pizza by the slice. It is only 50 cents a slice for cheese pizza and 85 cents for a speciality slice until four o"clock each day. No waiting and you can feed your pizza craving quickly. They have different speciality slices eveyday of the week. You can also buy a large tray of 24 slices for a party. Family owned and they are always very friendly.

text: Frequently (and not so frequently) Asked Questions. BRIEF: How does experimental data compare with poisoning cases?. QUESTION:. How does experimental data compare with poisoning cases?. ANSWER:. This could be a masters project. One thing you want to consider in establishing your criteria for lethality is availability and exposure. You may identify a world champion toxin that microgram for microgram, when injected, is the most poisonous, but if noone has a chance of encountering it, who cares? One of the things about ricin that makes it so dangerous is not only its intrinsic toxicity and lethality (which is bad enough), but its relative abundance and common association with human habitation (ornamentals, jewelery, etc.).

text: Janarion Grant gets past Brandon Russell (left) for a big gain.. - Filed Under. When one thinks of all the things Mohamed Sanu was able to do for three years as a Rutgers receiver, the immediate comparison that comes to mind is not Janarion Grant.. However, as Grant came into his own this spring as a wide receiver after standing out on special teams last fall, it became clear that the 5-foot-11 sophomore brings a route-running element not seen by a Scarlet Knight since Sanu left for the NFL following the 2011 season.. "He's actually running some of the routes that Mohamed ran, even though you wouldn't necessarily put those two together given they don't have the same body type," ...

Lesson: Introduction to Route Running

**Objective:** In this lesson, we will learn about the fundamentals of route running in football. We will cover the basics of how to run different types of routes, how to read the defense, and how to make yourself available for the quarterback.

**Section 1: Types of Routes**

There are several types of routes that a wide receiver can run. These include:

1. Straight: A straight route is when the receiver runs directly towards the quarterback.
2. Slant: A slant route is when the receiver runs diagonally across the field.
3. Out: An out route is when the receiver runs outward, away from the quarterback.
4. Post: A post route is when the receiver runs a post pattern, which involves running in a straight line and then turning at a 45-degree angle.

Each type of route requires a different set of skills and techniques. For example, when running a slant route, the receiver must quickly change direction and make sure that they are not caught off guard by the defender.

**Section 2: Reading the Defense**

As a receiver, it is essential to read the defense and know where the defenders are positioned. This helps the receiver make the correct cut and get open for the pass. Some common defensive positions include:

1. Man-to-man: In this coverage, the defender is assigned to cover a specific receiver.
2. Zone: In zone coverage, the defenders are assigned to cover specific areas of the field rather than individual receivers.

By reading the defense, the receiver can determine which type of route will work best against the defense.

**Section 3: Making Yourself Available**

As a receiver, it is crucial to make yourself available for the quarterback. This means being in the right position at the right time and making sure that you are not blocked by another player. Some ways to make yourself available include:

1. Staying inbounds: Make sure that you are always inbounds while running your route.
2. Combination routes: Use multiple routes in a sequence to confuse the defense and make yourself more available.
3. Catching the ball: Once you are open, make sure that you catch the ball and secure it.

**Glossary:**
- Route: A path or pattern that a receiver runs to get open for a pass.
- Coverage: The defense's strategy for stopping the offense.
- Open: When a receiver is uncovered and can catch the pass.

**Conclusion:**

In this lesson, we learned about the basics of route running in football. By understanding the different types of routes, reading the defense, and making yourself available, a receiver can become an essential part of their team's offense. By applying these skills, you can help your team score points and win games.
