Aurora’s end di Jay Kristoff e Amie Kaufman- review party

Salve e benvenut* alla mia tappa dedicata al terzo e ultimo libro della saga di Aurora Cycle. Un grazie enorme a Raggywords per aver organizzato l’evento e alla casa editrice per il file in anteprima che non ha in alcun modo influenzato le mie opinioni.

Special Weather Statement for McHenry Co., IL

<pre>WWUS83 KLOT 132149 SPSLOT SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT National Weather Service Chicago/Romeoville IL 449 PM CDT Sat Apr 13 2019 Winnebago-Boone-McHenry-Lake IL-Ogle-Lee-DeKalb-Kane-DuPage-Cook- La Salle-Kendall-Grundy-Will-Kankakee-Livingston-Lake IN-Porter- Including the cities of Rockford, Belvidere, Woodstock, Waukegan, Oregon, Dixon, DeKalb, Aurora, Elgin, Wheaton, Chicago, Ottawa, Oswego, Morris, Joliet, Kankakee, Pontiac, Gary, and Valparaiso 449 PM CDT Sat Apr 13 2019 ...Late Season Accumulating Snow on Sunday... A strong spring storm system will likely bring an accumulation of very wet and slushy snow to portions of northern Illinois and extreme northwest Indiana on Sunday. The heaviest snowfall rates are expected to occur from a bit prior to sunrise through mid day or the early afternoon, with lower intensities during the afternoon. The snow will end by early evening. There will likely be a fairly narrow band where these heavy snowfall rates of up to one inch per hour are most persistent. Exactly where this sets up, two to four inches of accumulation are likely on colder or elevated surfaces, with locally higher amounts possible. With warm road temperatures and the strong April sun, roads will likely be mainly wet most of the time. However, it's possible that some slush may cover bridges or overpasses and less traveled roadways during the heaviest snowfall. While overall lack of accumulation on roads may limit the magnitude of travel impacts, visibility will likely be sharply reduced at times. In addition, northerly winds gusting up to 25 to 35 mph could plaster the very wet and heavy snow onto elevated surfaces, including tree branches, so minor tree damage is possible. Motorists are advised to prepare for potentially adverse travel conditions on Sunday. Continue to stay tuned for the latest forecast updates. </pre> https://wxn.io/QapNp ------------------------------------------------ (c) Copyleft 2019 WxNotify. All wrongs reserved.

Canada just became the second country in the world — and the first G7 nation — to legalize marijuana nationwide. The move was a key part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's campaign promise.

Canada just became the second country in the world to legalize marijuana nationwide. Legal sales are set to begin on October 17.

The bill passed Canada's Senate 52-29 on Tuesday evening.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised during his 2015 campaign to legalize marijuana.

Marijuana stocks surged on the news on Wednesday morning.

Canada is the second country in the world to legalize marijuana, paving the way for recreational sales throughout the country.

Canada's Upper House of Parliament on Tuesday evening approved the revised bill 52-29, making Canada the first G7 country to legalize marijuana. Uruguay did so in 2013.

Trudeau said on Wednesday that legalization will officially take effect on October 17, citing provincial requests for more time to develop retail infrastructure.

"It's been too easy for our kids to get marijuana — and for criminals to reap the profits," Trudeau said in a tweet on Tuesday evening. "Today, we change that. Our plan to legalize & regulate marijuana just passed the Senate."

What the bill does

Bill C-45, known as the Cannabis Act, legalizes marijuana but leaves it up to each province to decide how to sell it. Some provinces, like Ontario, are planning on provincially run outlets, while others, like Alberta, will open up marijuana retail to the private sector.

The federal government set a minimum age of 18 to purchase marijuana, though some provinces have indicated they will raise the age to 19, mirroring liquor-purchase laws. The bill makes the distribution and sale of marijuana to minors an offense.

Recreational sales are expected to begin in eight to 12 weeks, according to Reuters.

The bill was part of a promise that Trudeau's Liberal Party made during the 2015 campaign to keep marijuana out of young people's hands and move the illicit market into a regulated framework.

"I'm feeling just great," Sen. Tony Dean, who sponsored the bill in Canada's Senate, told the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. "We've just witnessed a historic vote for Canada. The end of 90 years of prohibition. Transformative social policy, I think. A brave move on the part of the government."

Activists applauded the move

Cannabis activists cheered the move on Wednesday morning.

"Canada should be applauded for taking bold and decisive steps towards ending the failed prohibition of marijuana," Hannah Hetzer, the senior international policy manager for the Drug Policy Alliance, said in a statement. "Canada's progress will galvanize support for drug policy reforms in the US and all around the world."

Erik Altieri, the executive director of the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, echoed Hetzer's sentiment.

"We applaud Canada for showing federal legislators in the United States what can be accomplished with true leadership and dedication to sound public policy," Altieri said in a statement.

Marijuana stocks are surging

Marijuana stocks surged on the news on Wednesday morning.

The Canadian Marijuana Index, an aggregate measurement of all publicly listed marijuana stocks in Canada, was up 3.3% as of 10:45 a.m. The overall North American index, which includes US stocks, was up 2.3%.

Golden Leaf Holdings, a cannabis company listed on the Canadian Securities Exchange, was the biggest gainer, with the stock surging 6.8%.

Legalized marijuana is expected to be a boon for Canada's economy. The Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, one of the country's largest banks, predicts that Canada's legal marijuana market will be a $6.5 billion industry by 2020.

Several Canadian marijuana firms, including Aurora Cannabis and Canopy Growth Corporation, are seeing a wave of investor excitement around marijuana legalization. Marijuana companies have been capitalizing on that liquidity to go on acquisition sprees.
