Once a leading cannabis producer, Eli Lilly wants to conceal that history—possibly because pot is now the competition.
“Through advanced methods of seed selection and cultivation, Lilly Farms now produces cannabis of high potency, enabling us to offer a fluid extract equal to and identical with the therapeutic properties of the Indian cannabis,” according to Lilly’s January 1927 catalog A Complete Priced List of Products.

“The most popular of [barrenness] remedies was for the husband to urinate through his wife’s wedding ring without letting a drop run outside of it,” Glover writes. Another involved the husband drinking water that had been dropped from a horse’s mouth.

China, North Korea And The Fed Weigh On Market
Hello traders everywhere. The week had started on high note extending last weeks gains and pushing the NASDAQ high enough to trigger a new green monthly Trade Triangle at 7,566.93.

What it’s like to win a lifetime supply of ice cream, toilet paper, fried chicken, or books.
There is an irony to winning a lifetime supply at the age of 74. When I’m 96, I might consider that I don’t need 26 liters of ice-cream a year.

Coming soon to a nightmare near you.
Kalashnikov changed the world with its AK-47 assault rifle, known for being reliable, cheap, and widely available. Now the company introduces the KUB-UAV, a "suicide drone" that boasts similar benefits, yielding “a step toward a completely new form of combat.”
From the Washington Post:
The KUB is four feet wide, can fly for 30 minutes at a speed of 80 mph and carries six pounds of explosives, the news release says. That makes it roughly the size of a coffee table that can be guided to explode on a target 40 miles away—the equivalent of a “small, slow and presumably inexpensive cruise missile,” according to a report by the National Interest website.
and
"I think of it as democratizing smart bombs," Nicholas Grossman, a University of Illinois professor of international relations and author of a book called Drones and Terrorism, told the Post. "It means disseminating smart bombs more widely. This would shrink the gap between the most advanced militaries and the smaller ones."
Paying praise to Whoopi Goldberg.
She is neither overwhelmingly feminine nor masculine. She exists outside of any mundane binary. She is something else, a species unto herself. She truly is unusual.

Over in the gold patch, things went from disinterested and downright antagonistic (A Notable Lack of Interest in Gold) to sleepy (Gold “Community” Crickets) to ferociously over bullish. Any long-time and right-minded gold bug will tell you that the latter condition is usually a signal to prepare for some turbulence. Wednesday and Thursday brought the turbulence in […]

Copper Update: This Is How I Would Trade This Sell Setup
Two weeks ago I put the spotlight on copper as I found there was a nice trading opportunity in the making. The trigger for the short trade was set at the $2.75 (below minor low) to avoid emotional trading or simple guessing, and it paid well as the price dipped from the $2.84 area and […]

The world is literally made for men, from crash-test dummies to office design, and sometimes women’s lives at risk.
Immediately after writing this, I was with my mother in her Volvo Cross Country watching her try and fail to get the voice-recognition system to call her sister. After five failed attempts I suggested she tried lowering the pitch of her voice. It worked first time.
