The best portable vaporizer for most people

'There was a time when cannabis was smoked in secret, in joints. Today, it's bought in shops and it isn't smoked at all—it's "vaped." A vaporizer doesn't actually create smoke. Instead, it heats up material to the temperature just before combustion and releases active compounds for you to inhale without the carcinogens and tar of regular smoke.'

New Treasury rule could make it easier to hide money in the US, critics say | News | The Guardian

'The US Treasury is re-examining its policies regarding shell companies, which can serve as tax havens for the rich, in the wake of the leak of 11.5m documents from the Panama-based law firm Mossack Fonseca. Experts, however, are worried that instead of limiting the ability to hide wealth, one rule under review could actually enhance it.'

Jenny, a blonde girl came skipping home from school one day.

"Mommy, Mommy," she yelled, "we were counting today, and all the other kids could only count to four, but I counted to 10. See? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10!"

"Very good," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde?" Jenny asked.

"Yes, it's because you're blonde," said the mommy.

The next day the girl came skipping home from school. "Mommy, Mommy," she yelled, "We were saying the alphabet today, and all the other kids could only say it to D, but I said it to G. See? A, B, C, D, E, F, G!"

"Very good, Jenny," said her mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, Mommy?"

"Yes, it's because you're blonde."

The next day Jenny came skipping home from school. "Mommy, Mommy," she yelled, "we were in gym class today, and when we showered, all the other girls had flat chests, but I have these!"

And she lifted her tank top to reveal a pair of 36Cs "Very good," said her embarrassed mother. "Is it because I'm blonde, mommy?"

"No Honey, it's because you're 24."
