4 Simple Tips for Eating "Special" Brownies and Other Marijuana-Infused Treats

It"s a new era of pot-infused goodies like soda, candy, and baked goods. Here"s how to consume carefully.

On Friday, Drug Policy Alliance’s Tony Newman, writing for AlterNet, posted some tips about eating marijuana-infused products like pot brownies. The end of prohibition is heralding a new era of pot-infused products like soda, candy, and baked goods. Some are so expertly made, it’s hard to tell there is any cannabis in them, leading to adverse events like clueless relatives, kids or pets scarfing THC-infused cookies. Newman offers some basic, common sense tips. Here they are again, summarized:

1) Lock up your edibles. Just like other medicines, pot foods need to be kept out of reach of anyone who may accidentally find and eat them. Think: medicine cabinet, not pantry. “Edible marijuana can be a safe and enjoyable way for people to ingest marijuana, but with that comes responsibility to make sure no one, especially kids, stumble upon them.”

2) Accidentally eating pot is not harmful. No one has ever died from ingesting pot. Ever. So don’t freak out. The media loves to call accidental weed ingestion “poisoning” and write that people were “sickened” — as if feeling loopy and sleepy is equivalent to dying from drinking anti-freeze, or god forbid a bottle of Jack Daniels.

3) Go slow. The onset of edible marijuana’s effects can take up to 90 minutes, so don’t get impatient and eat more. You could end up too high and feeling uncomfortable. If so, see rule 2.

4) Vote with your dollars for properly labeled marijuana edible products. That means dosage, usage instructions, expiration date, and ingredients including allergens. Colorado and Washington mandate labeling, but California’s do-nothing legislature — scared by recalcitrant police – refuses to create these basic regulations. Boycott unlabeled edibles and bakers will quickly get the message.

We round-up the Sunday share tips. This week innovative nicotine gum maker Revolymer, stamp specialist Stanley Gibbons and fashion shop N Brown.

Tipped: See what the Sunday tipsters think of fashion retailer N Brown

Financial Mail on Sunday – Midas

Revolymer, a pioneering company based a few miles from Chester, has developed a way to make nicotine gum just as effective but a lot more palatable. The group uses novel compounds that not only make gum softer and smoother, but also provide a fresh smell on the breath and clean the teeth.

The company received a major breakthrough last summer when a major Canadian retailer agreed to stock its nicotine gum. First shipments began at the end of last year and further supplies will be sent over the coming months and beyond. Revolymer has also signed a distribution agreement for its gum in eastern Europe and that should yield firm sales in the near future.

Talks are ongoing with businesses in the UK, too, and there are hopes that the gum will be in supermarkets in the next year or two.

Revolymer is loss-making at the moment and, as a relatively small, innovative business, the shares are not for the cautious.

But the group has signed two big deals in recent months and more are expected in the short-term. At 72.5p, the shares could deliver substantial rewards to the adventurous.

Stanley Gibbons

Stamp collecting is usually associated with little boys or elderly men. But for rich individuals looking for something different to do with their money, stamps are more than just a collector’s item, they are an investment.

Stanley Gibbons is one of the best-known stamp specialists in the world, with about three million items on its books. In November, the group acquired coin business Noble Investments, which owns about a million coins. The combined group has ambitious growth plans and the shares, currently 366p, should provide strong long-term growth.

Stanley Gibbons has traditionally made most of its money from buying and selling stamps and from large auctions. Noble has followed the same path, but with coins. Now Hall is upgrading the group website, adding more stock and allowing third parties to buy and sell stamps and coins on it, from which the firm will get a commission.

Stanley Gibbons is a strong business, fortified by Noble. Both Hall and Goldbart are keen to deliver shareholder growth and there is a progressive dividend policy, too. New investors should buy. Noble investors should hold on to their Gibbons shares.

Sunday Telegraph

N Brown

N Brown began life as a catalogue clothes retailer targeting older and larger shoppers, but the owner of the Jacamo and Simply Be brands was an early and successful adopter of an internet sales platform.

This has allowed a steady increase in revenue, profits and dividends to shareholders over the past five years. The retailer has now successfully launched a high street presence, which is to be expanded with the company recently beginning a nationwide search for 20 new locations.

The group hopes to raise brand awareness while also offering a location for customers to click and collect – an increasingly popular way of shopping.

Its seven more established stores reported like-for-like revenue growth of 34 per cent in the latest trading statement last week. Shares have more than doubled in value during the past two years.

But they now trade on 19 times forecast earnings, falling to 18 times next year – which looks expensive given revenue growth of about 5 per cent and pre-tax profit growth of 8 per cent. The shares also offer a 2.6 per cent dividend yield, expected to grow by about 8 per cent this year and next.

The company has an exciting high street expansion plan in place and is definitely worth watching but no better than a hold at these levels.

Eight tips for more secure mobile shopping

Eight tips for more secure mobile shopping
http://isbigbrotherwatchingyou.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/3aebd__p-89EKCgBk8MZdE.gif

CSO – Online shopping trends point to lots of people, particularly men, using their smartphones and tablets to buy holiday presents.
Since some of that browsing and buying will occur at work, experts say companies would be wise to give employees the following
eight tips to protect themselves and corporate data.

[Retailers tracking customers via Wi-Fi suggests that privacy really is dead]

First up, the company’s Wi-Fi network should be off limits for shopping. Administrators should block any device that is not
authorized to access the network.

Most employees have their own data plans; so they can use their cellular provider’s network to browse the web for bargains.
That way, a malicious app on the phone won’t have the opportunity to compromise the corporate network.

“It’s not likely (to happen), but there is a risk,” Ken Westin, security researcher at Tripwire, said Monday.

To prevent losing personal or business-related data, employees should avoid specialty apps from retailers and shop through
their mobile browsers.

Apps are notorious for accessing more information on the phone than needed, such as contact lists. Symantec’s latest Internet
Security Threat Report rated information stealing as the top threat from mobile malware or overly aggressive ad networks.

When using the mobile browser, be sure the URL to the shopping site starts with “https,” which indicates a secure connection
with the site to protect important data, such as credit card numbers.

In addition, sensitive information, such as passwords, should not be stored in the browser. “Depending on the mobile browser,
this information could be exposed for malicious purposes,” Joe Schumacher, security consultant for Neohapsis, said.

Companies should remind employees to be wary of link-carrying text messages promising big deals on popular items. Clicking
on the link to find the bargain can sometimes download malware or send the victim to a malicious website.

Apps promising huge discounts should also be avoided, and people should review carefully the permissions apps seek for accessing
data and services on the smartphone. Denying unnecessary permissions “can reduce your risk of exposing mobile data to a malicious
entity,” Schumacher said.

[Mobile shopping remains stifled by security, ease of use]

Social media apps should also be watched closely, since scammers target such networks to embed malicious links. These apps
present a particular risk, because they typically have broader access to data than other apps, Westin said. For example, social
networks often tap into contact lists and photos.

Finally, employees should be advised to watch their phones more closely than usual and be cautious about using them in public.
Thieves are looking for smartphones because of the resale value.

“It’s like holding a $ 500 bill,” Westin said. “(Employees) are more likely to have their phones stolen physically over the
holidays.”

This year, mobile sales on Thanksgiving and the day after, called Black Friday, accounted for nearly 26 percent and about
22 percent of total online sales, respectively, according to IBM’s analysis of 800 U.S. retail websites. On both days, people spent significantly more with their mobile devices than a year ago.

Experts offer Merkel tips on how to cheer up the Germans

BERLIN | Wed Jun 5, 2013 1:24pm EDT

BERLIN (Reuters) – “Happiness experts” from all over the world offered Germany’s Angela Merkel tips on Wednesday on how to cheer up her citizens, often stereotyped as prosperous worriers who view their glasses as half empty rather than half full.

A forum on “What Matters to People – Wellbeing and Progress” heard from speakers whose common theme was that economic success alone does not bring happiness.

“We look at the stock exchange index or currencies on the news each morning and talk a lot about growth in terms of gross domestic product, but we often don’t prioritize what is really most important to people,” Chancellor Merkel said in an address.

Participants spoke about such varied routes to human contentment as keeping elephants off crops in southern Bhutan, mobile phone applications for organic farmers in Kenya or building bicycle paths in Colombia.

The shared conclusion was that once countries have developed enough to meet basic needs, economic indicators like GDP are less important than human relationships and mental health.

Merkel said that when Germany hosted the World Cup in 2006 she was “astonished to hear so many people think it always rains here and that Germans don’t know how to laugh”.

She tried to put a positive spin on Germans’ famed pessimism, saying that seeing the glass as half empty “could be a form of happiness, because they can see how to get it filled”.

Often herself the target of caricatures of dour German austerity and bossiness thanks to her push for budget cuts in the euro zone, Merkel was told that Germany’s Danish, Dutch and Swiss neighbors all tend to be happier than her compatriots.

British economist Richard Layard, editor of the World Happiness Report, said the main factor making people miserable was mental illness, and that only a third of Germans with anxiety or depression got treatment.

The forum heard from the head of Bhutan’s Gross National Happiness Commission, U.N. development experts, a Saudi writer on women’s issues, a Kenyan entrepreneur and a former mayor of Bogota.

Merkel’s interest might not have been purely academic, as she prepares for elections in September.

“The electorate will respond to politicians who actually identify the things that worry people – the trouble your child is having in a badly behaved classroom or the fact that your mother is mentally ill,” said Layard.

How To Position Yourself For A Killer Network Marketing Business Presentation

Have you ever in your life heard the saying \”it\’s never how you begin that matters, it\’s how you finish\”?

Longevity and \”staying around sufficient time to win\” are often brought up in the mlm marketing world and there is no question that being consistent while you master any given project is crucial.

Nevertheless, in relation to presenting your business opportunity, you won\’t be able to beat a solid start and having the ability to proficiently create rapport and set the business presentation up is a crucial competency for success. There\’s zero benefit in having the capability where you close powerfully if you lose the person you\’re talking with prior to even commencing, right?

1. You need to expect a positive outcome, your expectations heading in to the business presentation is what matters most: You aren\’t compensated to present your opportunity, you\’re paid to build a distributor base and a customer base. Plan to depart each presentation with either, or each.

2. Build rapport: Where possible, let the prospect lead into your presentation. Carry on developing rapport and being sincerely interested by tuning in well until eventually they request you to begin explaining what you have to offer.

3. Discover what they are searching for (reason why): Be upfront and honest. This will certainly build trust. Provide them with an \”out option\” to bring down their walls and allow them to view the information with the purpose of evaluating whether or not they like it, rather than feeling like you are likely to convince them at all costs. This actually also calms you, and helps remove your feelings from the outcome. Eg:

\”I have a passion for assisting people get what they aspire to. So that I\’m able to work out whether or not what I\’ve got will be advantageous to you, tell me, what is it you want?\”

\”Great. So, the intention of today is for me to demonstrate what I\’ve got. If you like it, then I will show you how to begin. If not, well then at least you maintained an open frame of mind\”.

4. Tie it all into their \’reasons why\’ and set the expectation before you begin presenting: \”So, if I can show you a method of getting (their reason why), when would you like to get going?\”

I hope that the above information helps you moving toward better network marketing business presentations and at this point all you need to do is put this into practice and you\’re well on your way!
