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.

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.

Meredith and Marina's lives have been flipped upside down. When the translucent skirt that straight-A-student Meredith finds hidden on the beach gets wet, it transforms her legs into a mermaid tail. Despite the evidence in front of her, she insists that becoming a mythical creature isn't scientifically possible. Marina is allowed to experience one day per moon cycle among the humans. After hiding her tail on the beach that morning, she takes her first timid steps on land. When she returns at sunset to find it missing, she is left stranded and alone. For the first time in her life, Meredith doesn't have all the answers. As she searches for a way to return to normal before the next full moon, she makes waves among the school of mermaids. Meanwhile, Marina uncovers information about her past, and for the first time in her life, she must stand on her own two feet and take the lead on her own adventure.

Scales on War is a collection of ideas, concepts and observations about contemporary war taken from over 30 years of research, writing and personal experience by retired Major General Bob Scales. The book melds Scales’ unique style of writing that includes contemporary military history, current events and his philosophy of ground warfare to create a very personal and expansive view of where Americn defense policies are heading in the future. The book is a collection. Each chapter addresses distinct topics that embrace tactical ground warfare, future gazing, the draft and the role of women in the infantry. His uniting thesis is that throughout its history the United States has favored a technological approach to fighting its wars and has neglected its ground forces. America’s enemies have learned though the experience of battle how to defeat American technology. The consequences of a learning and adaptive enemy has been a continuous string of battlefield defeats. Scales argues that only a resurgent land force of Army and Marine small units will restore America’s fighting competence.
