As the legalization of marijuana spreads across the United States, a multibillion-dollar industry-as large in revenue as Big Tobacco-is emerging from underground. Yet more than 90 percent of today's investments into budding cannabis producers will end in failure because so few people understand how the industry works and where it's headed. However, one man hopes to change that. Standing at the forefront of innovation is financial whiz Michael Brubeck, CEO of Centuria Natural Foods, the largest cannabis manufacturer in North America. Drawing from his experience in the financial and legal marijuana fields, he reveals winning strategies for investors and entrepreneurs looking to enter this newly emerging "green rush." Part how-to manual, part history book, and part memoir on Brubeck's own career in the cannabis industry, Tipping the Scale is a must-read for anyone interested in learning how and why marijuana legalization is on the verge of transforming the American economy.

In an entertaining and relatable style, 17 year old Evin Joseph and world renowned business guru Raymond Aaron provide a step-by-step guide to helping teens improve their self-image, relationships, life long skills, as well as ways to alter their mindset and achieve their goals to have success in their own lives. This book is jam packed with proven strategies, ingenious ideas, and incredible real life stories from teenagers and some of the most brilliant minds of today. A must have book for teens, as well as for those parents, grandparents, teachers and others who impact teens, Tipping the Scales is sure to meet and exceed expectations while showing teens how they can reach for the stars and work to achieve their dreams. I published this book with the help of Raymond Aaron (a world renowned motivational speaker) and his publishing agency, the Canadian Psychology Foundation, and leaders in the guidance and business fields. This has been a 6 month process and I launched the book at an official book launch on April 11th&12th where I met and spoke with Mr Jack Canfield, the creator of the Chicken Soup for the Soul Series which has sold over 500 million copies worldwide. He called my book "an important one, and a much needed step by step guide for the self help industry catering towards teenagers". The inspiration came from helping a close friend of mine deal with family troubles, as well as from my desire to give back and help more kids in the community (especially those who are less fortunate) not only to get into college, but to get into very good ones. The high school dropout rate is 7.8% in Canada, and its my hopes to decrease that number through spreading the word about my book and getting as many copies out there as I can. This is a NON PROFIT initiative and all profits will be going to wards funding youth empowerment activities in the local Toronto area.

What rights, if any, do fat people have? If a child is obese, are the parents legally responsible? Can employers treat overweight employees as different, or disabled? Should fat people be protected by disability laws? Cases of illegal hiring practices, workplace prejudice, harassment, unfair treatment, medical malpractice, and denial of public access are being filed in increasing numbers as the nation continues to obsess over, and misunderstand, weight.Two events in 1998-the controversial felony prosecution of a mother whose child died of obesity-related complications, and the National Institutes of Health declaration of a national weight standard-forced the weight debate to a new level of public awareness.Very little literature on the law and weight exists, so each new case is a potential precedent-setter. Tipping the Scales of Justice presents actual cases and the stories behind the legal arguments, showing for the first time the varied and surprising ways that fat has become a courtroom topic.An attorney who focuses on weight-related cases, Sondra Solovay details court attitudes toward weight in relation to employment and discrimination law, child/family law, disability law, civil rights, minorities, public policy, diets and exercise, and much more, while intermingling a personal narrative on major cases and their outcomes. This fascinating book will be essential for law courses and libraries, as well as a one-of-a-kind perspective for anyone concerned about weight as a legal issue.
