“For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise” (Hebrews 10:36).
Patience is not simply
“putting up with” something; it is remaining constantly, consistently
the same in all situations. Patience is faith that is consistently
applied over a period of time.
“Give, and it shall be given
unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running
over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye
mete withal it shall be measured to you again” (Luke 6:38). As believers, we have inside
us the authority to determine what kind of life we have. The more we
give, the more blessings come back to us.

My Sheep hear My Voice: How to hear from God and Prosper? By: Joseph Ho
My Sheep Hear my Voice, (Yes God Can Speak to You) By Joseph Ho, June 17th, 2008.
In
the beginning, I was like everyone else and I don't believe that God
can speak to us. Yet after consistent trying, I discover that I have
done it and I have managed to plug my spiritual phone line to the throne
of God; that is why I bothered to write a book about this. The bible
says in Luke 11:10, "For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds;
and to him who knocks, the door will be opened." And again in Matthew
4:4, Jesus answered, "It is written: "Man does not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."" Bread refers to
the bible and the mouth of God refers to God speaking actively to us.
This
is an article about how to hear the voice of God in 14 different ways.
This article references the book (My Sheep Hear My Voice) written to
show and teach the Christian community the importance of hearing
directly from the throne of God. Have you ever wonder if God can or will
speak with us? The answer is yes, God is alive and he still speaks to
his people. This may be the most important words that you will ever read
for the next 15 minutes that will bring a real and important change in
your life. It’s a breakthrough wisdom that comes from not just words but
real life experiences that will point you into extreme peace and
prosperity.
Personally, I have spent over 10 years to practice
the art of hearing from God and executing most of my decision based on
his guidance and I have been having a great and fantastic time with the
Lord. All his instructions to me brought me peace, joy and success. Just
to be candid about our beliefs, how can anyone claim that they worship a
true God and yet in reality they live a life without any ability to
hear from him? If God is our shepherd and we never receive any
instructions and commands from him, then we are not glorifying the true
living God. We are no different than worshipping dead idols and graven
images when we can not hear from God. Conversely, if God is alive
doesn’t he want to talk with us, since we worship him? If we then know
he is alive and yet does not speak to his people, then our claims are
fictional and in conflict with our beliefs. This book (My Sheep Hear My
Voice) testifies to all the people of the world that God speaks to his
people, and not just one way but in at least 14 ways. These ways are not
for the special exclusive group of people, it is for all his children
and those who bother to take the time to listen to his reply when he
speaks. I have done it with patient verification and constant testing
and found that I was able to communicate with my God, thus I believe
that anyone who seeks him will find as well.
This is not a
theoretical, theological conceptual exercise; it’s a real life activity.
It’s a book that is written based on true life experiences. Most
Christian don’t experience the voice of God because they expect God to
speak to them in a very loud voice and be very spectacular, however, God
speaks in very gentle ways and he does not intrude on us to freak us
out.
When the instructions which God has
given to me were actually obeyed and executed; the results were
remarkable and rewarding. God says in the end times that he is seeking
true worshippers who worship him in spirit and in truth. In spirit is to
be led by the spirit of God and in truth is according to the word of
Jesus, the son of God. I can no longer imagine how to live a good life
without God’s council. I found that each time I obeyed his suggestion
and advice, my tasks were easier and smoother and success was sweet. So
without spiritual power and help, some of us may not be able to fulfill
our destiny. Therefore, in order for the will of God to be fulfilled
throughout the earth, all his disciples and followers must be doing his
will by seeking his voice. And God says again in the book of Proverbs
8:34-35, "Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily at my
doors, waiting at my doorway. For whoever finds me finds life and
receives favor from the lord." And again in the book of Proverbs
8:34-35, it says, "Blessed is the man who listens to me, watching daily
at my doors, waiting at my doorway. For whoever finds me finds life and
receives favor from the lord. This book is a tribute of my 10 years of
communion with the Lord, God, and I am testifying for him. God is alive,
and he talks to me, and he want to talk to you. If you can believe and
spent time to listen, you shall surely hear his voice. And I know you
will because Jesus says, ask and you shall be given and seek you shall
find and knock; the door will be opened. This book which can be
found at www.Kingscepter.com and it describes the details and shows that
God will speak to us in the following ways: 1. God speaks through His
prophet and messengers. 2. God speaks through dreams of the night. 3.
God speaks through the still quiet voice in our spirits. 4. God speaks
by prompting us in our hearts. 5. God speaks audibly in a loud voice to
our spirits. 6. God speaks through vision, or pictures in our minds. 7.
God speaks through the peace in our hearts. 8. God speaks to us through
physical events, omens and signs. 9. God speaks to us through physical
objects and words that are in the streets. 10. God speaks to us via
bible verses that has been quicken and made alive. 11. God speaks to us
using scriptures that seem out of context. 12. God speaks to us through
animals. 13. God speaks to us through angels. 14. God speaks to us by
casting of lots and Urim and Thumim. If you thought that I got
this gift or ability suddenly, then you are very wrong. The first time
when I tried to speak to God and wanting him to reply, I got only dead
silence. It was not immediately evident to me how to speak to God, but
slowly, I decided to try and practice. I did not just read the book, I
decided to practice the ways in the book, and I expected God to speak to
me in those ways. In the beginning, it was very comical and foolish to
do the things that I did, but I was not led astray nor was I embarrassed
when I first made up my mind to seek the council of our Lord Jesus and
God. When I decided to seek God, he began to turn his attention towards
me.
You may wonder what was it that motivated me to want to hear his voice.
Well, it’s sad but true, we do not seek God until we need him
desperately. For me, I had 5 crises that happened to me in the year
1997, I needed a miracle in short. I found God and he spoke to me. God
also gave me confirmations through scriptures that he is the one who
spoke to me. This gave me peace and assurance, he is a good God, and we
should not fear that we will hear a different voice. I was elated,
surprised and very excited about this new found counselor. Then, I read
that God can do anything even impossible things, and that is when I
decided that God can speak to me in anyways he chose. The bible says in
John 10:27, "My sheep hears my voice; I know them and they follow Me."
and again in John 10:3 – 5, "The watchman opens the gate for him, and
the sheep listen to his voice. He calls his own sheep by name and leads
them out. When he has brought out all his own, he goes on ahead of them,
and he sheep follow him because they know his voice. But they will
never follow a stranger; in fact, they will run away from him because
they do not recognize a stranger’s voice."
Here is a simply
analogy, I want you to reflect on your natural father; how do you
recognize your father’s voice when he calls you on the phone. What is it
about the voice that makes you recognize that it is your true father on
the other line? First, it was the tone of his voice, and second it is
the way he uses certain words, and thirdly, it is the way he speaks and
his unique speech, fourth, it was the historical relationship with him
that he can use certain events to jolt your memories all these combined
together, gave you an idea that it is truly your father who is speaking
to you. So have no fear that you will hear a wrong voice, we have a way
to know if God is the one speaking to us.
Finally, be blessed in
the name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and my prayers will accompany you as
you seek to hear his voice. He promised me through the bible verse:
Isaiah 32:3, "Then the eyes of those who see will no longer be closed,
and the ears of those who hear will listen. Then the mind of the rash
will know and understand, and the stammering tongue will be fluent and
clear." Let your ears and eyes be opened as you seek to hear from him,
and may he also cause you to hear, and see what goodness he has prepared
for those who seek him. Finding him is finding an eternal treasure, for
if God is for you, who can be against you. Whatever may be your
situation, if God speaks to you, you will find a second chance and a way
in the wilderness and he will lead you out of your trouble, I know
because I came out of the wilderness because I hear his voice and like a
sheep I followed the voice of the Shepherd and I came out of my pits.
Truthfully, what have you got to lose? Go check out this book which was
created to serve those who sincerely want to find a connection to the
throne of God. You can find this book at www.Kingscepter.com.

focused workout. ► Shop Primeval Labs: https://bbcom.me/2XkjJwE ► All Access 7-Day Free Trial: https://bbcom.me/2XhFfT6
| Sumo Deadlift | 1. Find Your Foot Position - Foot positioning on a sumo deadlift is more
variable than on a conventional one, but you should set up so that your
shins end up at 90 degrees when you begin to pull. An easy way to
position your feet properly for this exercise is to look into a mirror,
get into your starting position, then play around with different foot
widths. Find the one where your shins are at 90 degrees to start the
movement.
For the sumo deadlift, you also have to point your toes out. How much
will vary depending on your hip mobility and stance width, among other
factors. If you point your toes forward, your knees will be in the way,
and it'll be much harder to complete the movement. Your hand position
should be a straight line from your shoulder down to the bar.
2. Get Set Up - The rest of the setup points for sumo are very similar
to conventional. You want your shins at 90 degrees to the ground and
your shoulder blades over the bar. Then, you breathe and brace, engage
your lats, and pull the slack out of the bar.
3. Engage Your Lats - As with the conventional deadlift, engage your
lats to take out the slack and visualize bending the bar. This should
automatically turn on your lat muscles—you'll feel it.
4. Initiate The Movement - Unlike in conventional deadlifting, where you
want to initiate the movement by pushing the floor away from you, for
the sumo deadlift you want to initiate the movement by thinking about
spreading the floor apart.
5. Drive Your Hips - Once the barbell has left the ground, think about
squeezing your glutes and driving your hips forward as you're pulling
up, just as you would with a conventional deadlift. You should feel it
in your glutes, hamstrings, and lats.
6. Lock Out - Stand straight with your shoulder blades drawn back but
without hyperextending your spine, just like a conventional deadlift.
7. Lower The Bar - Lower the weight quickly but with control.
Five Best Exercises For Women for a Hot Lower Body
Whether we like it or not, women are
genetically designed to be a bit bottom-heavy. And while there are rare
times when this can be a good thing, normally these extra pounds are
just one more thing we need to work on.
Whether we like it or
not, women are genetically designed to be a bit bottom-heavy. And while
there are rare times when this can be a good thing, normally these extra
pounds are just one more thing we need to work on. But that's ok.
Below, you'll find five of the best exercise for a hot lower body and
all the information you'll need to get rid of that pear, apple, or other
unpleasant fruit shape that's been preventing you from feeling your
best.
Squats Squats are great exercises for your lower body.
They not only target your quadriceps, but they also get your glutes,
hamstrings, and calves working, as well as your core.
How to Do the Perfect Squat
Standing straight, with your lower back naturally arched and your feet
shoulder-width apart, hold your arms out at shoulder level, tighten your
tummy, and hold it. Then, while continuing to hold your arms out and
your tummy tight, push out your hips and bend your knees to lower your
body as far as you can, until your hips are parallel with the floor.
Hold it. Then, slowly return to the starting position.
The
beauty of squats is that they're not only great a great exercise for
your lower body, but they're super easy to do and don't require any
additional equipment. Just make sure you have good form.
Want to
burn fat while doing your squats? Add a jump at the end to increase
your heart rate and start burning fat. By simply adding 10 squat jumps
at the end of each circuit, you'll add 120 squat jumps into each
workout. And when you're ready to turn up the heat, add weights to the
routine and increase the reps you do each week.
Lunges
Lunges should definitely be next on your list of the 5 best exercises
for a hot lower body. They focus on your quads, but lunges also work the
other muscles involved in getting a smaller backside: your glutes,
hamstrings, and calves.
Your hamstrings are the three muscles
that start just under the gluteus maximus on your pelvic bone and run to
your tibia. Normally, we think of them as being responsible for moving
your leg back and bringing your heel to your bum. However, their main
job is to slow your shin during rapid movement.
Step-Ups
Step-ups look extremely basic, but they're actually great exercise for
your glutes, quads, and hamstrings. And because you're strengthening
your hamstrings, you'll increase the stability in your knees and greatly
reduce your risk of injury. This is vital during normal movements, but
it's especially important when you're working your legs and trying to
melt the extra fat from your backside.
Hip Raises Your
glutes need loving, too. And some of us have glutes that demand a little
more attention than others. So, if you haven't already, now is the time
to get familiar with your glutes.
Your glutes include a number
of muscles: the gluteus maximus, which attaches to your femur and runs
along the pelvic bone crests, the gluteus maximus, which start on the
pelvic bone crests and run to the side of your femur, the gluteus medius
and minimus, which run under the maximus, and the iliotibial band,
which is connective tissue that moves force from the center of your body
to your leg.
This sounds like a lot of muscle, and it is! Your
glutes are actually the largest muscle group, so you'll burn more
calories than you will when working other muscles. They aso help you
avoid getting a pooch by preventing your pelvis from tilting forward.
This means you can burn more fat, but also minimize the look of the
belly fat you already have.
Toe Hops Made up of the
gastrocnemius and the soleus muscles, your calves are mostly responsible
for extending your ankle, or plantar function. The gastrocnemius is a
proximal and a media section located on the anterior side of the soleus,
in the back of your lower leg. These sections start just above the knee
and meet at your Achilles tendon, and are responsible for handling the
workload when your knee is straight.
The soleus is located under
the gastrocnemius and it runs to your Achilles tendon, as well.
However, it starts just below your knee and is responsible for extending
your ankle when your knee is bent.
These five moves can make
for an intense session, but they really are the best exercises for your
lower body. Before you know it, you'll toss out the control top
pantyhose, stiff underwear, and the other fancy fabric contraptions
you've been using to minimize the look of your thighs, and be wearing
heels, stockings, skirts, shorts, and other sexy little numbers with
confidence.

Effects of Drug Addiction By: Tian Xiangyu
Drug addiction is one of the most
vexing and pervasive problems that almost all the countries have faced.
The consequence of such addiction can be devastating. The effects of
drug addiction are felt on many levels. Individuals who use drugs
experience physical effects due to their drug addiction. People with
drug addiction may experience anxiety, fatigue, depression, and a strong
desire to use more cocaine to alleviate the feelings of the crash. Many
drug users engage in criminal activity, such as burglary and
prostitution, to raise the money to buy drugs, and some drugs are
associated with violent behavior. Family and friends feel the
effects of drug addiction as well. The user who are preoccupied with the
drug usually have changeable mood, which is likely to cause marital
problems and poor work performance or dismissal. Drug addiction can
disrupt family life and create destructive patterns of codependency.
Drug
Abuse affects society in many ways. Drug users are more likely than
nonusers to have occupational accidents, endangering themselves and
those around them. Drug-related crime can disrupt neighborhoods due to
violence among drug dealers, threats to residents, and the crimes of the
addicts themselves. In addition, drug addiction will cost billions of
dollars each year. Heroin use alone is responsible for the epidemic
number of new cases of HIV/AIDS and drug addicted infants born each
year. Drug addiction is responsible for decreased job productivity and
attendance, increased healthcare costs, and an escalation of domestic
violence and violent crimes Drug addiction has many negative
physiological health effects, ranging from minor issues like digestion
problems or respiratory infections, to potentially fatal diseases. The
effects depend on the drug and on the amount, method and frequency of
use. The upshot is that regular drug abuse or sustained exposure to a
drug can cause physiological dependence, which means that when the
person stops taking drugs, he/she experiences physical withdrawal
symptoms and a craving for the drug. Drug addiction can cause
brain damage. Drug addiction affects the way the brain functions and
alters its responses to the world. How drug abuse will affect your
behavior, actions, feelings and motivations is unpredictable. By
meddling in the natural ways the brain functions, abusers exposes
themselves to risks they may not even have imagined. Drugs
addiction leads to psychological and physiological dependence. The term
drugs abuse is used to indicate the excessive consumption of a drug,
regardless of whether an individual is truly dependent on it. Drugs
abusers are generally immature, suffering from mental and physical
health hazards, emotionally disturbed and psychopathic in nature.

The first key to overcoming stress is to recognize or admit we are experiencing it, and look for the source of it.
There was a time in my life when I was
constantly having headaches, backaches, stomach aches, neck aches, and
all the other symptoms of stress, but I found it very difficult to admit
I was pushing too hard physically, mentally, emotionally, and
spiritually.
I wanted to do all of the things I was
doing and wasn’t willing to ask God what He wanted me to do. I was
afraid that He would lead me to give up something I wasn’t ready to give
up yet.
Although the Lord gives power to the faint
and weary, if you are worn-out from continually exceeding your physical
limitations, you will have stress.
Our bodies are the sanctuary (home) of
God, and we are in disobedience when we push ourselves past God-ordained
limitations and live in continual stress. We all have limits and we
need to recognize what they are and eliminate excess stress from our
lives.
If you wear out your body, you can’t go to a department store and purchase another one, so take care of the one you have!
Prayer Starter:
Father, I lift my schedule and activities up to You. Show me areas
where I need to change. Help me to do my part to eliminate stress and
take care of my body, the temple of Your Holy Spirit. Thank You for Your
grace to change! In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

us the authority to determine what kind of life we have. The more we

God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto
himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed
unto us the word of reconciliation.
2 Corinthians 5:19
Very
few unsaved people today have ever really heard the “good news.” Why?
Because too many Christians are busy telling the world God is mad at
them. And telling them that they’re terrible and wrong. Some call that
“good news,” but it’s not, and it’s not what God has commissioned us to
share. He’s given us the “word of reconciliation”! He’s sent us to tell the news that God has restored harmony and fellowship between Himself and men. All men. Not just believers. Not just the people in your church, but everyone! That’s
right. The worst old reprobate sinner in the world is every bit as
reconciled to God as you are. Look at Romans 5:10 and you’ll see what I
mean. It says that “when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by
the death of his Son.” Reconciled. That word is past tense. God
has already restored fellowship between Himself and the world. He did it
when there was not one person on earth except Jesus who believed in the
new birth. He did it when the entire world was lying in sin. Through
the death and resurrection of Jesus, God has cleansed and forgiven and
restored to Himself every man, woman and child on the face of this
earth. All any of us have to do now is receive it. That’s the
good word God has given us. That’s the word we need to share with those
who are lost. If we’ll do it, I can almost guarantee you, they won’t
stay lost very long.

And now this "Teachable Moment" from CoachTube Basketball!
I have had multiple requests for a
playbook that will spice up your post plays and tweak some of your
offensive sets. I decided to look into the most consistent N.B.A.
Franchise in the last decade. It is the San Antonio Spurs who have won
the World Championship in 99, 03, 05, and 07
Coach Gregg Popovich’s “San Antonio Spurs” use an offense that is
mostly built on the perimeter, but they exploit the skills of Tim
Duncan, an all-around player who can play close or away from the basket
at a medium shooting distance. The Offense is built on the offensive
penetrations of their guard that lead to 3 point shooting opportunities.
It also have a wide array of pick-n-roll plays in their offense.
This N.B.A. Power Post Offense Playbook has: 90 Set Plays 2 Zone Offense 1 Sideline Out of Bounds play 1 Baseline Out of Bounds play
I really do think that this playbook will be able to tweak your set
plays up with some interesting looks. You will be able to involve your
guards as well as your post players. Coach Peterman

In
the beginning, there was your lofty expectations of how your life would
be once you started being healthier. You'd workout most days. You'd get
enough sleep. You'd be calmer and focussed. And, of course, you'd eat a
balanced diet. Sure, there'd be the odd treat here and there, but
mostly, lots of whole foods. Lots of healthy meal prep. In this dreamy vision for your
#FitLife, you probably didn't see yourself scarfing back Girl Scout
cookies with a whipped cream chaser. You probably didn't see yourself,
exhausted and zombie-eyed, ordering a large pizza at 10 p.m. on a
Tuesday night and devouring the whole wheel yourself, feeling both
incredibly relieved and unbearably guilty. You probably didn't think
that your physically healthier self would still be susceptible to
extreme acts of indulgence. Let's just get this out of the way:
everyone eats to much at some point. Our trainers do it. Your super fit
keto-vegan-wheat-grass-eating coworker does it. Buddhist monks do it.
Eating too much happens. The reasons it happens vary. It can happen
because you haven't been eating enough and your body craves a good ol'
feed up. It can happen because you're tired and your willpower is shot.
(There is a strong correlation between willpower and exhaustion.)
It can happen because you are emotionally distraught: bad news, a bad
break-up bad day at work. Regardless, it happens because you are
mentally depleted, physically depleted or both. While the easy advice to
give here would be to tell you not let your body/mind get that
exhausted — to practice relentless self-care at all times — that's not
the way life works. Best made plans get laid to waste. Shit happens. We should always do our best to get
the sleep, activity and proper nutrition we need to ensure we can
operate at peak, but sometimes, the best we can do that day is not the
best we ideally want for ourselves. And really, that's okay.
This Post-Binge Bible is here to help
you navigate the guilt and shame that often accompanies a food binge.
It's here to guide you through negative feelings so that they don't
cripple you. In short, it's here to give you a loving kick in the ass
and a huge hug. Keep reading. Here are your post-binge lessons.
The Post-Binge Bible: Getting Over Overeating
One binge will not undo your hard work.
Here's a little equation. It will help put things in perspective. CONSISTENCY ____________ = RESULTS TIME Simple, right? Just like you did not
lose a bunch of fat after a single day of clean eating and exercise, you
will not gain a bunch of fat after a single binge session. Sure, the
scale may go up the next day, but this is most likely the result of
bloating —not actual fat. Here's the deal: sugar is a carb and
excessive consumption of any carb can cause fluid retention
thanks of a higher insulin level that causes your kidneys to hold
water. This phenomenon is also called false fat, and will go away if you
return to your healthy eating. So, if you've just had a heroic
binge, for the love of mini-powdered donuts, don't weigh yourself for at
least of couple days. What you see on the scale is not an accurate
reflection of where you're at. Pound back some water, and pound out your
next workout.
You shouldn’t try to compensate.
You're thinking about it, but don't
do it. If you've just binged, don't over-exercise and/or undereat the
next day. Just get back to eating clean and exercise as usual. There's
nothing wrong with pushing a little harder during your sweat 'sesh,
maybe upping your weights (if you're ready to and can lift safely) or
adding on a killer two minute finishing move like bear tricep push-ups
with a weighted vest, but there's absolutely NO needs to double or triple up on your workouts. Bear Tricep Push-Up — try it! The reason for this is two-fold:
first, remember, a single binge will not have really set you back.
Second, well....keep reading.
NEVER punish yourself.
Punishing yourself for a binge is one
of the worst things you can do to yourself, mentally. It reinforces
your belief that you've done something wrong...and you haven't. Have you
noticed that not once has this article mentioned anything about
"getting you back on track?" There's a reason for that. Binging is
NOT off-track. Eating too much, as already stated, is human. The
occasional binge falls completely within the realm of normal behaviour,
and will not negatively impact your hardwon gains. The cavet: occasional has been the
operative word here. You can't overeat on the regular and expect it not
to show after a while. Sure, you can go on vacation and load up on
gelato and fresh baguettes for a few days with no weighty repercussions,
but do that everyday for a couple weeks and you shouldn't be surprised
if you have to shoehorn yourself into your skinny jeans. Remember: CONSISTENCY ____________ = RESULTS TIME So what if you binged? Learn from it:
did you not eat enough during the day? If so, then try to make sure you
meal plan and have healthy food with you to munch on so you don't get
to the point of wanting to eat everything and anything. If you chronically binge eat, it is worth your while to consider intermittent fasting (IF). You can learn more about IF here,
but the point is this: IF requires that you eat everything you need to
eat in a day within 8 hours. Then, you fast for 16 — nothing can pass
your lips but water, black tea or black coffee. The no-nonsense structure of IF often
appeals to people who thrive on clear limits. It also allows you to eat
a lot for 8 hours of the day, and while most of it should be clean,
whole, healthy food, because your body is burning more fat through an
extended fasting period, this food lifestyle is way less restrictive
than others. Unlike keto or paleo or Atkins, with IF there is absolutely
nothing off the table. What's more, IF has been shown to balance hormones and help you sleep better: two causes of binge eating. If you want to try IF and get the best start possible, grab our new ShredFast Intermittent Fasting Guide.
It has all the intel you need to get started, including our two-phase
approach for optimal results — as well as 40+ meals, snacks and
desserts to keep you happily and healthily enjoying the process. Even when you IF, however, and even
if you do everything right to the best of your ability everyday,
overeating will still happen. But if you use these strategies and
remember not to beat yourself up over it, it will happen less. Binges
will be a blip on the radar of your healthy, beautiful life.
Dr. Felice Gershdiscusses the endocannabinoid system and how it
functions in the body. The system was discovered not too long ago and
it's importance is just starting to come into focus. It can be
confusing, but learn how this system is tied to reproduction as well as

Cannabis is the most commonly used
illegal drug in the world. Despite its current legal status it only
became criminalized within the last century, before which it was both a
regularly used recreational drug as well as a medically prescribed drug
for dealing with a wide range of ailments from glaucoma to cancer and
multiple sclerosis. So if merely a century ago Marijuana was a widely
used and medically acknowledged drug how did it manage to reach the criminalized status that it now holds? In America the
criminalisation of cannabis began as a relatively slow and understated
process with certain states outlawing its use starting in the District
of Columbia in 1906. A couple of states followed this example and
outlawed the use of cannabis throughout the 1910s and 20s but it wasn't
until the 1930's that the criminalization of cannabis became a major
issue. The reason that cannabis became such a huge issue was
the launch of a massive smear campaign against marijuana lead by Harry J
Anslinger from 1930 to 1937. Harry J Anslinger started his career as
the Assistant Prohibition Commissioner in the Bureau of Prohibition
before he was promoted to the position of Commissioner in the newly
created Federal Bureau of Narcotics in 1930. Anslinger held this
position for 32 years, but it is his campaign against marijuana, which
dominated the first 7 years of his tenure, that he is most widely
remembered for.
Anslinger made heavy use of the mass media in
order to spread his anti-cannabis message. Anslinger notoriously
fabricated a number of stories tenuously linked to police reports that
he published in his "Gore File" and used to turn the public against the
drug and gain backing for its criminalization. Among the accusations he
levied were "There are 100,000 total marijuana smokers in the US, and
most are Negroes, Hispanics, Filipinos and entertainers. Their Satanic
music, jazz and swing, result from marijuana usage. This marijuana
causes white women to seek sexual relations with Negroes, entertainers
and any others."; "Reefer makes darkies think they're as good as white
men."; "You smoke a joint and you're likely to kill your brother."
These accusations were designed to pray on the worries that many
American's had about the number of immigrants entering the country. A more interesting point relating to this is that Anslinger wanted the
growth of all marijuana plants outlawed; including those that yield no
intoxicating chemicals and can only be used to produce the extremely
versatile textile hemp and cannabis oil which can form a cheap and
effective base for fuels, paints and plastics. Anslinger and his
primary supporter, William Randolph Hearst, both had considerable
interest in the petrochemical industry and it has been suggested that
the anti-cannabis campaign was primarily designed to eliminate hemp as a
competitor. No matter the reasons it is clear that Harry J
Anslinger and his anti-cannabis activism played an enormous role in the
national criminalization of the drug, something which is still strongly
debated to this day.

Body camera and surveillance footage of an officer involved shooting
that left a 40-year-old man dead in his New Orleans East apartment
earlier this month was released by police officials Tuesday (May 28).
The NOPD released the footage Tuesday at 2:30 p.m. After the video was
shown to media, they briefly discussed the content of the video and
where the investigation stands. According to the NOPD, the officers
Stephen Jones, Kevin Nguyen and Wayne Lewis will all be put back on
street by week’s end as the shooting has been deemed justifiable. Donald
Davis, 40, was killed in the shooting. Police claim Davis screamed,
"shoot me, I dare you" before firing his weapon at the officers first.
The NOPD responded to an officer in distress call when officers
discovered one person was killed by NOPD officers, according to NOPD
Superintendent Shaun Ferguson. The incident happened in the 6800 block
of Parc Brittany Boulevard in New Orleans East. The NOPD released the
following statement regarding the review of the officer's body cameras:
"Superintendent Ferguson has reviewed video from the incident which
clearly shows the suspect firing upon NOPD officers, who then returned
fire, fatally wounding him. All officers involved in the incident were
wearing their body-worn cameras. Those cameras were in operation and
captured the incident. Per NOPD standard practice, the officers involved
in this incident have been temporarily reassigned to administrative
duty, pending further investigation. Additionally, the department’s
video release policy has been initiated. NOPD’s Force Investigation Team
(FIT) is working closely with the federal consent decree monitors,
Independent Police Monitor, U.S. Attorney’s Office and FBI to ensure a
thorough and transparent investigation."
Preliminary investigation revealed that upon arrival three officers
located the unknown armed adult male outside carrying a weapon and shots
were fired. The adult male suspect was pronounced dead on scene,
according to the NOPD. This incident is being investigated by the NOPD’s
Public Integrity Bureau's Force Investigation Team as an
officer-involved shooting. All officer-involved shooting protocols were
initiated. The federal consent decree monitor and the Independent Police
Monitor were duly notified and on scene. The internal investigation
into this incident is underway. Per NOPD standard practice, the officers
involved in this incident have been reassigned to administrative duty,
pending the outcome of the investigation.
