Sherlolly in WWII Paris, please & thank you!
He doesn't know where she is, or if she has managed to survive; all he knows is her handwriting, and the odd little tick she has to her 'V's and her 'Q's.
It is a wet afternoon in a small little alley just off the Passage de Panoramas, and a glimpse of fresh chalk makes him stop. Rain gathers in his tousled hair, droplets running down his back from the upturned collar of his coat; he reaches out with trembling fingers to trace the shape of the letter 'V', hastily scribbled and beginning to smudge from the water---but there is no mistaking that odd little tick.
Give me a pairing, an AU setting, and I'll write you a three-sentence fic!

Canopy Growth Corp / Tinley Beverages / Cott / Constellation Brands.
Canopy has yet to display a non alcohol inspired THC infused beverage, but they've received 5 Billion CAD from Constellation Brands, which makes it even stranger, considering Tinley Beverages was at the same event as both of them recently at "The Street" & Tinley had their THC infused Beverage on display!
Jeff will be speaking again with Bruce Linton in San Fransico at another event, and they are even posted beside each other on the website rofl!!! https://cannabisdrinksexpo.com/en/speakers/2019/
Below i explain why I think Canopy Growth Corp will be Tinleys Canadian LP.
Tinley Beverages is the first public company to enter the "infused beverages" space, and for them not to have a "public" JV with a major LP, when all of these other companies who didn't even market test a product yet, and in some cases they didn't even finish the beverage they're planning on selling in "Canada" late next year do, was a HUGE red flag.
LAW 4 Always Say Less Than Necessary
When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike. Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.” Here is part of a news release from 2016, I'm not sure why people called me crazy for suggesting the obvious.
Tinley is now offering a turnkey solution to install and operate bottling equipment to manufacture the Tinley products in the facilities of legally-licensed cannabis producers. As part of this new service offering by Tinley, the Company will source and install bottling equipment in the cannabis producer's facilities and will train its employees to operate the equipment. This solution will enable licensed cannabis producers to produce Tinley and other drinks infused with their own cannabis extract. The company is in discussions with licensed cannabis producers in Canada and the USA about Tinley '27 and its turnkey bottling and manufacturing solution. http://www.marketwired.com/press-release/tinley-appoints-andrew-stodart-board-directors-provides-product-operational-sales-update-cse-tny-2162984.htm
The fact that Andrew Stodart was added to the Tinley team at the same time they released the above mentioned news, is very suspicious considering we now know that Constellation Brands is heavily invested into Canopy, and Andrew used to work for Constellation Brands.
The writing is on the wall guys. If you actually look through this companies entire profile since being public it stinks like a buyout!
I am under the impression that Tinley has already done the turnkey for you know who, wink wink. A company whos ceo describes the exact product that we are already selling, just calling it something different. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6481cXevlTI Fast forward to 1:20 in the video.
Bruce specifically says, "the reason I liked constellation is because they saw this way before anybody else."
It would explain why we have 1 previous Constellation Brands employee & 3 previous Cott employees, including Mark Banibida who was a board member as recent as last year, AND THE CEO OF COTT is on the board of Constellation Brands!
Jeffrey Maser, CEO and Director • Private label beverage design at the Watt Design Group; at the time, Watt was owned by Cott Corporation and was the second-largest food and beverage branding firm in North America, and Cott was the largest cola company in the world after Coke and Pepsi.
Tinley Advisory Board member Mark Benadiba, previously CEO of Cott Canada and member of Cott’s global board of directors, is currently advising on Tinley’s market entry into Canada.
Mark has a very long background, so I'm not going to post it all. But key parts of his background are this, he's been with COTT for 28 years & was recently a board member. Besides COTT he served senior positions with Seven Up Canada and served as Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing Ontario for Pepsi Cola Canada and Co-owner of an Ontario Pepsi Bottler. https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/person.asp?personId=204203&privcapId=538810097
Ted Zittell, Brand Advisor and Director • Previously President of Cott Corporation's Retail Brands International, where he led the creation and launch of premium retailer brand and marketing programs worldwide • Senior partner at The Watt Design Group for 17 years (including during period of ownership by Cott Corp.)
Andrew Stodart, Director • Launched Crystal Head Vodka and brought from concept to nationwide North American distribution in 18 months • Oversaw the launch of Dan Aykroyd Wines at Diamond Estates Wines and Spirits; oversaw a team that won 5 awards for marketing excellence from the LCBO • International brand manager for Black Velvet Canadian Whisky (Constellation Brands); built from a declining brand into the thirdlargest selling brand in its category • Other engagements include work for Patron Tequila and Everfresh Juice Ltd
Mr. Fowden is currently the CEO of COTT, and the link below will show you he's on the board of directors at Constelattion Brands. http://www.cbrands.com/node/668
Constellation Brands; who has raised their investment in Canopy to around 5 Billion CAD.. COTT & Constellation Brands are not competitors everyone, they are obviously working together & have no problem sharing the pie. The head of both companies are very smart & a force to be reconed with.
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/constellation-brands-canopy-growth-1.4785786
Wake up everyone, you can't make this sh!t up if you wanted to. Truth is always stranger than fiction!
Here Bruce is talking about the reason why they created Rivers, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6O8o815GjNQ
Green Street Agency is another connection to Snoop Dogg, who has Leafs by Snoop with Canopy.
Green Street Agency, which is 50% owned by Gary Vaynerchuk, is a new distributor of Tinley Beverages. Just to give you an idea of who Gary Vaynerchuk does promotion for, ABInBev, DIAGEO, PEPSICO, JP Morgan Chase, just to name a few. https://vaynermedia.com/
Take a look at Green Street Agency's website to see their partners, you may recognize some names like SNOOP DOGG, THE GAME, CYPRESS HILL, WAKA FLOCKA FLAME, just to name a few. http://www.greenstreetagency.com/
But wait, there's more..
Steven Palmer has confirmed the Cott rumor in several interviews, there's material to support his claim! Everything from the news release indicating they are the first Marijuana company to work with a company to have such a large international presence in beverages, Jeff, Ted & Mark actually working for / with Cott previously.

Tinley's formulator has the USA's ONLY patent on the technology that encapsulates the oil (hemp, cbd, or thc) and micellizes it so that the nutrients in the oil survive the digestive process intact (and then also induces the gut to allow the nutrients into the bloodstream and through the blood barrier). It obviously masks the horrible taste of the oils, which is another key characteristic. Here is a quote taken directly from an interview with Jeff Maser: "The ability to have access to such advanced technology is another advantage of outsourced product development. The Pencer family introduced us to this formulator, and this is one of the many benefits of having the family that built the third-largest beverage company in the world (after Coke and Pepsi) as backers." This patent is obviously huge for Tinley and the relationship that they have with the formulator is exclusive. Here is another quote from that same interview: "Several of our competitors solve this problem by reducing the oil into isolates (often referred to as crystals), which means stripping out all nutrients except a single cannabinoid. While this method solves the taste challenges, it denies consumers a wide spectrum of cannabinoids, turpenes and other nutrients, many of which are believed to be highly synergistic." I don't believe that enough investors realize the power that this patent will have for Tinley when it comes to licensing deals with other companies. You can bet that it won't just be the licensed producers in Canada who will want in on the action. The CBD/THC beverage market is going to be transformational, so there will be many different brands/companies that will want in on the action.
I was always told that 1 + 1 = 2.
Not a big fan of coincidences!
Now, you can see on their Corporate Presentation that they are not only in 7/11 but Shell & Chevron. That is HUGE, do you understand how many stores these three companies alone have in the world…. If not I can give you the numbers…
Shell, approximately 25,000 Shell-branded gas stations in the U.S.alone. Chevron has nearly 8,000 retail stations in the United States alone. 7/11 has 56,000 world wide.
I will put these numbers modestly into perspective at first.
If "Hemplify Beverages" only, were to obtain shelf space in half of the 56,600 stores due to some regulatory issues in other countries perhaps, & earn a modest 1,000 dollars in revenues from each location on an anual basis, which is extremely modest in my opinion, but regardless the revenue generated from Hemplify alone would be in excess of 28 Million Dollars. The numbers are impressive to say the least.
If I readjust these numbers to a more optimistic outlook of 10,000 in anual revenues from Hemplify alone, in half of the 56,600 7 Eleven Franchises, we start to see the massive opportunity here. The reveune would be a a jaw dropping 283 Million anaully from Hemplify alone lol
And based on the recent update by Jeff, it's likely that the THC infused beverages may do way more numbers than the CBD infused. I personally think that the demographics for the CBD infused beverages are much more attractive & will be a huge cash generator for Tinley, but that's JMO.
Tinley has sold more of its cannabis margarita in the weeks subsequent to Q2 than the combined sales of Hemplify in fiscal 2017. Accordingly, the Company is shifting the majority of its resources to its cannabis infused beverages, while allocating a limited amount for the maintenance of the Hemplify CBD products. The Company’s recently-expanded sales and operational team, which include former executives from Asahi Beer and Sierra Nevada Brewing, are working with three cannabis distributors on expanding dispensary placement.

Tinley is building "Brand Awareness" in California & cannot even keep up with demand, literally.
California is now the world's fifth-largest economy, according to recent data released by the U.S. Department of Commerce. Its 2017 Gross State Product was $2.747 trillion, surpassing the United Kingdom's $2.625 trillion Gross Domestic Product.
Canada placed 10th in the ranking of GDP of the 196 countries that we publish. Canada is 1.6 trillion.
And California is about the size of Newfoundland, so it's easy to create "brand awareness"
California land mass, 423,970 km / Newfoundland land mass, 405,212 km.
48 Laws Of Power My Guy, Master The Art Of Timing!
Never seem to be in a hurry—hurrying betrays a lack of control over yourself, and over time. Always seem patient, as if you know that everything will come to you eventually. Become a detective of the right moment; sniff out the spirit of the times, the trends that will carry you to power. Learn to stand back when the time is not yet ripe, and to strike fiercely when it has reached fruition.
—success that is built up slowly and surely is the only kind that lasts.
We are the wolves in sheep's clothing, incase you didn't notice!

Proyecto Fin de Carrera/ Thesis Project San Diego: Homeless Paradise, part II.
4. PROPOSAL
The project consists of the set of interventions distributed throughout the city focused on improving the day to day of the homeless, making the city more "homelike", trying to adapt each and every one of them to its context and location, and invisibilizing them as far as possible facing the citizens of San Diego. These interventions are divided into 4 scales or dimensions: Scale 1: Information and Appliances; Scale 2: Invisible Furniture;Scale 3: Homeless Architecture; Scale 4: Urban Set and Connections.
Scale 1 // Information and Equipment
The first dimension of the project refers to those actions and objects that either consist in the transmission of messages and information, or in the delivery of small objects.
The first one is the distribution of leaflets that are made in the East Village on Mondays at 7 in the morning. In the new context, the police and cleaning teams continue to appear on 15th Street to "ask" the homeless to evict the sidewalks, but they also hand out leaflets. These brochures announce that essential products will be delivered at 12th & Imperial Station, a place located a few meters from your "camp". This same message will be distributed through the emergency notification system of iPhone and Samsung, since most of the homeless have a mobile phone. The brochure has on its back a template to fill and fold: if you wish, you can write down your information and deposit the new envelope in the available mailboxes of the Horton Plaza Service Frames. Thus they may request to receive specific services: haircuts, medical check-ups, therapy sessions, etc.
We continue with the delivery of essential cleaning products. Those who have decided to go to 12th & Imperial Station after receiving the message will find the first traveling trolley, which having an empty time slot at 08:05 am, stops for 13 minutes at the station. This trolley will have an alternative interior distribution: shelves with boxes for distribution, as well as auxiliary beds for emergencies.
The boxes, called HEMP CARE-PACKAGES (hemp care packages) can be of two types: ♀ and ♂. They are foldable and contain personal hygiene. It consists of straps to carry it as a backpack and a handle to carry it in your hand. Once empty, the box can be folded and stored, to be reused to taste.
On the other hand, the materiality of the interventions will be based on three options, divided into their rigidity and usefulness, trying to bring the social awareness component of the project to the limit. They will be as far as possible ecological materials: biodegradable and that do not generate C02 or chemical substances in their manufacture. Although wood is used for more structural elements, and paper is recycled, the lightest construction elements may be CIB, HEMP or PLA.
Scale 2 // Invisible Furniture
The second dimension of the project includes the set of interventions of medium size, manageable and displaceable in their majority. It is spread throughout Downtown, although especially common on the border with East Village. They try to go unnoticed, generating intimate spaces. The following are distinguished:
- Service Frames:
Systems of rigid frames with folding canvas, accordion or bellows type, to generate spaces of sporadic activities. Designed for landmarks such as Horton Plaza Park. Being the public square adjacent to the shopping center, it concentrates a high flow of pedestrians in an open space. Volunteers and social workers use frames to offer services to homeless people such as medical check-ups, haircuts, and so on. At the end of the day frames are folded and collected, occupying the minimum space of your initial box. Generating interventions in such crowded spaces as Horton Plaza has risks. The proximity to the non-homeless citizens of San Diego can generate altercations.
"March of 2016, homeless receives a beating for dozing in one of the banks of Horton Plaza Park"
Service Frames grant privacy and are controlled by both homeless and volunteers. They allow to unify the two worlds for the benefit of all those involved. In addition, they have mailboxes where you can deposit specific requests.
Detail: section of the frame in perspective view, a vertical section is taken through the upper part of the bellows (zigzag). Two strips of flat material 4, 5 form a "V" and are connected at the tip of the "V" by a frame 7. Two consecutive "V" s of this type are connected to each other by another frame 6. The frames 7 and 6 are profile sections in the form of a groove consisting especially of aluminum, which hold together two bellows bands by means of clamping action.
 - Salvation Closet:
Salvation Army being the # 1 Non Profit Organization in the USA, its presence in San Diego is accentuated by the alarming amount of homeless. One of its largest second-hand sales centers is located on 13th St, two blocks from the main settlement, and next to the trolley line. Unfortunately, 40% of the merchandise ends up being discarded because it is not sold, as few people choose to buy here, and those who need it the most, prefer to get away from the most direct human contact. On the other hand, donation containers are located in E St, the perpendicular street, always empty of pedestrians. A mutation of these containers is proposed, which opens and unfolds to reveal a private closet that allows homeless people a more intimate access to these garments. It can be supplied by the back of the container itself, directly connected to the south facade of Salvation Army, so that workers can regulate the object.
- Bike and Tent Fix Cart:
One of the most common demands among the population living on the street is to repair their most important personal items from day to day. In this case, as they move daily, their tents, bikes and carts end up tremendously worn. To fill this gap there is a traveling workshop: this piece consists of a folding folding workshop table, with tools to be able to personally fix the belongings. To avoid unwanted "loans", the utensils are anchored to the wall of the cart with a chain that allows its usual use. Likewise, it will consist of parking-bikes and pumps to recover the pressure of the wheels.
This cart is controlled by both homeless and social workers and volunteers, who make sure to know and point their locations. To promote the spirit of collaboration and social, the cart appears in more crowded areas, where they can help each other. For example, the famous Quartyard of San Diego is a plot destined to ephemeral events, both entertainment and workshops, meals and others. Having a rotating program, lets add this intervention.
On the other hand, 12th & Imperial accumulates hundreds of people at different times of the day and because of its proximity to the 15th st main camp. it would be convenient as a usual location.
- Hang-in-there interventions:
Hanging systems that escape from level 0 are very versatile, as they may appear parasitizing hundreds of points throughout the city. We talk about structures that get hooked on trees, lampposts, fences, etc.
We can highlight the folding table (Foldatable), which is hooked in parallel to the wire fence, and when needed, it unfolds itself and its legs generating a table, or even bed, temporary. On the other hand, the mini-awnings (y-awning) fold and unfold like a bellows generating small spaces of sporadic intimacy.
For naps that seek to replace batteries exhausted by a day of walking in the sun, a system of hammocks is proposed every two lamps or trees, which discreetly hook, hang and pick up, without leaving a trace.
The largest hanging piece is the one that makes up the Rest Forest units. This space arises with the idea of ​​populating the heights of the Children's Park grove. This park came up with the idea of ​​giving life to the wide avenue of Harbor Drive, and stayed in an abandoned pine forest. Each unit of the Rest Forest is composed of a system of individual boxes, designed for rest and privacy.
- Library Outdoors:
The Downtown Public Library is a site to read and navigate the network. On the ground floor, homeless citizens are usually seen doing their own thing. This can cause discomfort among some of the visitors. Likewise, in the racket-roundabout located at the entrance, between bushes and palm trees, they take a nap for young people without a roof every day. This space becomes an external extension of the library. The beams of the library's outer cafeteria extend to cover the racket, anchored to the palm trees and supported on shelves inspired by IKEA that serve both structure and cultural offer, with anti-theft books and computers. The legs of the shelves are telescopic and adaptable to the terrain. From the rafters hang power-outlets to load the electronic devices, lamps and a series of cables designed to hang the available textiles. These are made of CIB and are deployed forming small tents, privacy spaces, with acoustic insulation.
- The Reliever:
In downtown San Diego the proportion "homeless population-public services" is insufficient. In fact, the second big problem of this group, after privacy, is hygiene. Two systems of different character and dimension are proposed in the project, the first corresponding to the "scale 2" of interventions.
"The Reliever", the "reliever", seeks to distribute through corners and remote areas, especially in the East Village, an object of easy assembly. The pieces slide together and are secured with 10 slotted head screws: fittings that do not require a screwdriver but can be screwed in with a knife or coin. Once assembled, a degradable bioplastic bag of high performance can be placed. Each bag can be used 100-150 (it has a volumetric capacity of 13 gallons or 45 liters) before needing to be replaced. The inside of the bag is covered with a layer that keeps the smell inside the bag. To empty the car, the stretch rope at the top is closed and the car is rolled into a nearby hole where it can be pulled.
Additionally, a basket-type cover is included, with plants to give privacy, charm and neutralize odors, of two different sizes to also cover those users with reduced mobility.
