The Louisiana Supreme Court reviewed the appeal of a war veteran sentenced to life in prison for attempting to sell 0.69 grams of marijuana and set him free .
War veterans are the heroes of the nation .

Back in 2008 , one U.S. military veteran , Derek Harris , was arrested in Louisiana for trying to sell 0.69 grams of marijuana to an officer of the law for $ 30 .

At the court hearing , Harris appealed against inadequate representation , and the case was reopened .
The Louisiana Supreme Court reviewed his appeal and concluded that he had “ ineffective assistance of counsel at sentencing on post-conviction review.

His new lawyer , Cormac Boyle , said that Prosecutors at the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ office in Vermilion Parish have agreed to release his client because he has served enough time in prison already .

The Louisiana Supreme Court reviewed the appeal of a war veteran sentenced to life in prison for attempting to sell 0.69 grams of marijuana and set him free.
War veterans are the heroes of the nation. While ordinary people continued living their lives as normally as possible, these women and men sacrificed their lives, their families, all that was ever important to them, to serve the country.

Harris also served time for simple burglary in 1997 and theft under $500 in 2005. At the resentencing, the judge estimated that the man had committed so many petty crimes that he had to condemn him to life in prison.

Harris explained that his defense attorney did not protest the sentence or speak up in his defense as the judge sentenced him to life in prison for less than a gram (0.69g) of marijuana.
His new lawyer, Cormac Boyle, said that Prosecutors at the 15th Judicial District Attorney Keith Stutes’ office in Vermilion Parish have agreed to release his client because he has served enough time in prison already.

healthyfoodhouse--2020-11-14--Forest Garden With 500 Edible Plants Requires Only a Few Hours of Work Per Month

Martin Crawford , a pioneer in forest gardening , shows the world a way to plant a food forest , and grow more than 500 plants with a few hours of work a month .

Have you ever asked yourself why some plants prosper better in forests, on their own, without any special care than in our gardens? For instance, no one trims, nourishes, or waters the wild veggies, and yet they grow better than our garden plants ever could if we weren’t so devoted to them.
It turns out, we may be doing things improperly. The diversity of the forest gives the plants the needed flexibility to deal with the harsh climate conditions and environmental factors that influence their growth.
It is one of the crucial factors in maintaining a productive ecosystem with natural stability.
The monoculture approach we take leaves the soil in a poor state for agricultural practices after only a few years. Namely, flatly planting the same crops in one garden drains the soil of some of the essential nutrients and creates additional compounds that might affect growth and production.
Plus, the absence of diversity increases the risk of diseases. The best way to prevent this and help the soil renew the needed nutrients is to try crop rotation.
Yet, the inconsistency in produce makes this approach unfit for many commercial farmers. Therefore, to address the problems caused by monoculture, people have invented forest gardens.
They imitate natural ecosystems and include dozens of varieties and species of plants to boost diversity and production. Martin Crawford, a pioneer in forest gardening, is a British author, and the founder and director of the Agroforestry Research Trust, a UK-based agroforestry non-profit.
He maintains that monoculture is slowly harming the soil by taking away its nutrients:
“What we think of as normal, in terms of food production is actually not normal at all. Annual plants are very rare in nature, yet most of our agricultural fields are filled with annual plants. It’s not normal. What’s normal is a more forested or semi-forested system.”
Back in 1994, he started growing his extensive forest garden with countless stems and seeds from various plants. Every year, he added more species, and nowadays, over 500 edible plants are growing in the astonishing ecosystem in his garden.
He explains there are two categories of plants in the food forest:
directly useful plants, which include fruit trees, veggies, all types of nuts, tuber plants, timber, and logs on which mushrooms grow.
indirectly useful plants, or system plants, which boost the function of the system, such as flowers that boost pollination, mineral-accumulating plants, and nitrogen-fixing plants
He says:
“With such a diverse system, whatever happens with the weather, most of your crops will probably do fine. Some may fail, some may do better. That’s very important going into the future because we don’t know exactly what’s going to happen to our weather. So by having a diverse system, it gives you maximum resilience.”
There are about seven vertical levels of growth in a forest garden, as follows:
Canopy trees, Smaller trees, Shrubs and bushes, Perennials, Groundcover layers, Root crops, 7. Vines (climbers).
The different layers give each other support, diversity, sunshade, wind, and storm protection. The main advantage of the food forest is its timesaving quality, as Crawford needs only a few hours every month for maintenance.
Just like wild forests, it takes care of itself. The different types of plants provide diversity to fight against diseases and resist climate changes. Furthermore, while it may not seem easy at first, in the long term, the food forest is much more efficient and gratifying than the gardens we are used to.
Of course, you’ll need to work harder in the early months and perhaps years of cultivating the garden. It would also be more expensive at first, but in a while, your food forest will require very little maintenance.
As Crawford notes, the forest plants are “more like being out in nature than being in a cultivated garden”, and adds:
“It can seem overwhelming, there are so many species. You shouldn’t let that stop you from starting a project, because you don’t have to know everything, to begin with. Just start, plants some trees, and go from there.”

A couple of California offered their home to a 93-year-old veteran, whose town was burned to the ground.
Life is unpredictable, and often, a single event can easily turn all things upside down. The devastating Camp Fire two years ago left destruction and death behind, so countless families have been forced to leave their homes and seek their safety somewhere else.
The fire has left numerous people homeless and uncertain if their homes still exist. Among the many, the flames also engulfed the hometown of a 93-old-old World War II veteran, Lee Brundige.
The man lived in the home his late wife designed in Paradise, California, and he had no idea that the fire was coming, but his gardener started banging on his windows to wake him up.
Fortunately, the old man heeded the evacuation warning, and he initially ended up in Oroville, in a parking lot with other evacuees about 11 miles south of the fire. There, he met Tracy Grant, a woman who was helping feed the group of newly uprooted people.
Grant offered the veteran a hamburger, but he was too humble and refused it, explaining that someone else could benefit from it more. Grant asked him if he had a place to stay, but he insisted on sleeping in his car.
She said:
“I didn’t like leaving him there, but he’s very independent. So I made sure he had blankets and a pillow. I stayed with him until about midnight.”
Although she was deeply concerned, she respected his wishes. Yet, the next morning, the sheriff gave evacuees an ultimatum, evacuate, or risk your life.
At this point, Lee had to make a decision and accepted Grant’s offer. Lee went to live with the kind woman, her boyfriend Josh Fox, and their two dogs, Cash and Axel.
Grant then said they have no problem to offer Lee their home as long as he needs it, and they were not sure whether his home has survived the fire. They have then contacted Lee’s son, to work together and ensure Lee’s happy and peaceful future.
Meanwhile, they have learned more about their new roommate.
Grant added:
“We found he has many friends and is loved by his community. He can stay with us as long as he would like.”
These stories restore our hope in humanity and encourage us to recognize the good amidst all the bad. We can make the world a better place by just spreading goodness and happiness.
Even when we don’t have much, we can do much for others. We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need.

The best solution to the shortage problem is to convince the public to donate organs. This will decrease the demand for organs on the black market, which could eventually end this dangerous trade.
Sadly, it is too late for the teenager who sold his kidney. His life has been changed forever and now, he is left to the mercy of a malfunctioning system.

healthyfoodhouse--2020-11-20--Why Many People Agree That The ‘Shopping Cart Test’ Is the Way To Determine If Someone Is A Good Per

Why Many People Agree That The ‘Shopping Cart Test’ Is the Way To Determine If Someone Is A Good Person

One Twitter user posted a theory that sparked quite a lot of conversation online- Do you return the shopping cart at the grocery store ?
Social media are increasingly becoming an arena for public debate .
Platforms encourage discussions on all kinds of subjects and help people stay engaged and be exposed to new information and different points of view .
One such debate has garnered much attention- and it is actually a very simple personality test .
Namely , one Twitter user suggested the “ shopping cart theory ” , which reveals people ’ s personalities based on whether @ @ @ @ @ @ @ designated spot after use or not .
This supposedly character-defining theory goes like this : People who put the cart away , back in the store , or in the parking lot carousel , even though you are not obligated to , and won ’ t be sanctioned in any way , are kind , and considerate .
On the other hand , those who leave the cart to be collected by the store ’ s employees , are the opposite .
The author of the theory concludes that “ the shopping cart @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a good or bad member of society.
” We have to admit , it does make sense .
Being kind does not cost a thing , and except for extreme emergencies , there is no justified excuse to not make a little effort and take a few moments of your time to take back your cart and help someone else .
On the contrary , it is not illegal to leave the cart either .
You are not obligated in any way to do it , and you won ’ t be fined @ @ @ @ @ @ @ return it .
That is exactly what makes the gesture kind and considerate .
This theory , therefore , argues that those who care for others and want to ease their life have a good heart .
The ones who care for themselves only are lazy and selfish .
The theory was posted on Twitter by a user named Jared and it initiated a lot of debates .
However , most users agreed with it .
“ Idk I just feel like as someone who once worked a retail job , I might @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but the guy working would really appreciate it so I might as well make someone else ’ s day easier ?
?
Idk it ’ s more about respect for the worker and not the unspoken societal law.
” “ I mean yeah that ’ s the idea .
having that level of respect and consideration for a stranger is what makes you a “ good member of society ” .
” On the contrary , others gave some good reasons for not returning the cart , even if it is not an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to return it is if you are alone , with young children , and you are too far from the return to leave your kids alone in the car.
” Some Twitter users claimed that returning the carts is someone ’ s job , and considering that they are simply trying to help them keep their job , get more hours , and make more money .
People who had worked or still do were quick to explain that these claims are inadequate .
They explained that grocery stores don ’ t hire @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that is just one of the many things they have to do .
It is not an opportunity for them to make more money or get more working hours .
Furthermore , they explained that this job , in fact , is very hard in extreme conditions , such as freezing cold , pouring rain , or extreme heat .
Therefore , it is much easier for an individual to take a few moments and take back the cart .
It seems that this is an endless debate .
There is even an @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Cart Narcs !
Additionally , some explained that the theory generalizes things , which is not adequate .
Ashlee Boyer maintained that is not fair because it doesn ’ t allow for people with disabilities : “ How about we don ’ t judge someone ’ s character based on physical ability ?
Like , ever ?
I can see an instance where someone with a chronic condition has a flare-up and it ’ s all they can do to get the cart to their car.
” Many questioned her claims as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ person can get the cart , use it for shopping inside the store , and take it to the car , it is then logical that he can return it .
Nevertheless , the consensus is the theory refers to those who have no real reason not to return their cart , and not for the ones who are physically incapable .
In general , people agreed that people who don ’ t return their grocery carts are lazy , inconsiderate , and self-centered .

The author of the theory concludes that “the shopping cart is what determines whether a person is a good or bad member of society.”
Well, let’s analyze it a bit.
We have to admit, it does make sense. Being kind does not cost a thing, and except for extreme emergencies, there is no justified excuse to not make a little effort and take a few moments of your time to take back your cart and help someone else.
On the contrary, it is not illegal to leave the cart either. You are not obligated in any way to do it, and you won’t be fined or banned if you don’t return it. That is exactly what makes the gesture kind and considerate.
This theory, therefore, argues that those who care for others and want to ease their life have a good heart. The ones who care for themselves only are lazy and selfish.
The theory was posted on Twitter by a user named Jared and it initiated a lot of debates. However, most users agreed with it.
