The existing church building on the 24th and Scott is a room organizer that says it fits nicely.

Andrew Trumbull, administrative director of the Burmese Rohingya community in Wisconsin, said the Rohingya had not been welcome in their home country for so long and had to flee to find refuge in a safe place.

The Rohingya come from Myanmar, also known as Burma, in Southeast Asia. The country borders India and Bangladesh.

The Rohingya people have been named the most persecuted minority in the world by the United Nations.

Trumball said this community center would serve many purposes for the Rohingya.

“It is crucial to have a place where the Rohingya can come and not have to worry about it being taken away from them,” Trumbull said.

To make this dream a reality, the remaining $ 25,000 must be raised before the May 14th closing date.

“I want for them what I have for myself, that they can have the same things that people have who look like me,” said Trumbull.

The community center will be a place where people can gather and meet their needs.

“The Rohingya have many needs and we are really looking forward to doing a lot more than we have been able to do before,” said Trumbull. “After the school program for the children. There is a small gym there, eating in the communal kitchen is always so important and a prayer room.”

Trumbull said the Rohingya and the larger Milwaukee community must make every effort to achieve the goal.

Aphria CEO hopes to see weed totally legalized in U.S. in 2 to three years

by

Aphria CEO Irwin Simon told CNBC on Wednesday that he hopes marijuana will be fully legalized in the United States in the next two to three years. However, the pot executive expressed confidence that the company can grow its revenues regardless of action from Washington.

Simon made the remarks in an interview on “Close bell” Next Tilray CEO Brendan Kennedy. In December the Canadian company announced plans to merge in all-stock deal that would create the largest cannabis producer in the world by sales.

“A lot of the unknown is known about what is going to happen in the US, but we will have the record, we will have the knowledge, we will have the brands, we will have the technology to make a huge impact once legalization is done, “said Simon. “I say full legalization in the next two to three years.”

Simon, who will lead the combined company upon conclusion of the deal, added that he “firmly believes that legalization in Germany, Portugal and some other countries can take place before the US”.

Pot supplies have gathered in the hope of national legalization in the US, a move that would have a significant impact on companies in the industry. For example the Boost the Seymour Cannabis ETF is up over 120% since November 9, the first day of trading after most of the media scheduled the presidential election for Democrats Joe Biden.

Earlier this month Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-NY, gave his support behind trying to end the federal marijuana ban. Schumer said in a statement alongside Democratic Senators Ron Wyden of Oregon and Cory Booker of New Jersey that passing such laws would be a priority this year.

A large number of US states have legalized medical or recreational marijuana. Monday, New Jersey became the newest condition Pot for recreational use to allow if Governor Phil Murphy signed a legislative package. However, current federal law prevents cannabis be imported in the country and also limits the relationship that industry players can have with financial institutions.

Simon expressed his confidence in Aphria’s growth prospects even in the current landscape without federal legalization in America. Recreation area is allowed all over Canada, he noted, and in his latest quarterly resultsAphria’s revenue from adult cannabis increased 149% compared to the same period last year.

Once the combination of Aphria and Tilray is complete, the combined company will have a “strong” medical business in Europe, Simon said. Earlier this month, Tilray inked an important deal with Grow Pharma to import and distribute its medical cannabis products in the UK

In the USA, Simon promoted the takeover of SweetWater Brewing Company, based in Atlanta Completed at the end of November. The company will also be owned by Tilray through Manitoba Harvest upon completion of the merger, Simon said. Manitoba Harvest sells hemp-based foods such as Cereal and milk. “We will look at other acquisitions in the US,” added Simon.

Aphria’s shares, listed on Nasdaq, are up nearly 175% in 2021. Tilray stock is up nearly 211%.

Quartararo hopes for Lorenzo/Rossi-style rivalry with Vinales

by

Three-time MotoGP race winner Quartararo joins the Yamaha works squad of Petronas SRT in a straight swap with SRT-bound Rossi this season.

During their seven years together on the factory Yamaha squad, Rossi and Lorenzo developed a fierce rivalry that resulted in a wall being built in the garage to divide their teams and culminating in a bitter fallout as they contested the title 2015 fought.

When asked during his first official appearance as a factory Yamaha rider at the team’s launch event how he believed his rivalry with Vinales might develop, Quartararo said, “With Maverick, I hope it will be like Valentino and Lorenzo will because they will fight 1-2 in the championship until the last race.

“I hope to replace Lorenzo to win the championship, but I have a good relationship with Maverick. I think we can work really well together and bring Yamaha to the top.”

Quartararo led the championship for much of his second 2020 season, but a loss of form put him in eighth place overall.

It was the first time the Frenchman was championship leader in his Grand Prix career and this led many to question his print management.

Quartararo does not see the pressure to join the works team as negative and believes that he can steer the bike better in the direction he wants than with SRT.

“First of all, you go to a works team, you have a little more pressure, but you have a lot more support,” he said.

“When you test, you develop the bike a little bit more for you.

“When I was at Petronas I had it all, but I was just confirming whether it worked or not. But when you are at the factory you say ‘we have to change this to get better’.

“Usually the factory makes the change or they try to do what is best for you.

“I think I may be under more pressure, but I’ve learned a lot over the last few years to deal with the pressure and in the end it’s a good pressure to be a works driver.”
