Drug Arrest Defense Lawyer In Dallas John Helms Enumerates Common Defenses Against Drug Possession

Prodigy Press Wire

Drug possession charges can be intimidating, but an expert legal counsel can present various defenses that may dispute the allegations. In this short article, Dallas Drug Arrest Lawyer John Helms enumerates the top three common defenses to contest possession charges. Illegal Search and Seizure: Defense attorneys can argue that law enforcement violated due process by conducting an unlawful search. The evidence may be rendered inadmissible if narcotics are found without a valid search warrant or the resident's consent. Not Controlled Substances: A defense attorney may be able to show that the seized substances, which were thought to be illegal, were, in fact, harmless. This argument may entail demonstrating that substances, such as powders, are not illegal drugs but rather harmless chemicals such as baking soda. Planted Evidence: The defense may claim that evidence was planted in locations where there has been a history of police misconduct, specifically targeting specific communities. Eyewitness reports and supporting proof of earlier corruption involving the arresting officer or federal agent are required for this defense strategy. Handling drug possession charges needs a thorough awareness of legal intricacies. With his long-term expertise as a Dallas Drug Arrest Lawyer, John Helms provides a set of strategic defenses against possession charges. If you or a loved one is facing drug possession charges, contact John Helms, a seasoned Dallas Drug Arrest Lawyer, to discuss the best defense strategy for your case.

Should You Trade Stocks in Your Retirement?

TechniTrader

It’s a wonderful concept: Retire on your 401(k), pension plan or IRA and go have fun. The reality for millions of Americans is totally different. Not only are Americans often living much longer than Financial Planners and Advisors plan for, the cost of retirement is much more than most retirees have planned and saved for. Trading Stocks in retirement is a much more desirable and enjoyable retirement job than many other job opportunities available to retired Americans. And in retirement, you tend to be in exactly the right position in life to make the most of trading or investing in stocks or ETFs. There are many perks to Trading Stocks in Retirement: Unlike every other industry in the US, the Stock Market holds a very high regard for Brain Trust, which is the accumulation of knowledge, experience, expertise, skills, and the wisdom that comes with age. Keep your mind sharp. The brain is like a muscle; the more you use it, the more time you spend learning throughout your lifetime, the HIGHER your IQ. The average person gains a considerably higher IQ as they age when they learn through their entire life. One of our students is now 106 years old. It doesn’t take all your time. Trading stocks can be something you do a couple of times a month or for a couple of hours 5 days a week or less. My students are always surprised that they can pay for their course in a couple of trades and start making spendable income soon after they complete the course. You can trade stocks from wherever you are: at home, when you are traveling to see the world, and it is a much more productive pastime than TV, games or casinos. Be prepared for unexpected expenses. You don’t have to sell your long-term held stocks OR charge a credit card when there is a sudden expense that is way beyond your budget. Your trading gives you monthly cash flow that you have on hand for emergencies. You can sell your stocks or ETFs at any time without tax penalties or higher taxes. Trading as a Business gives you the ability to have ALL of the advantages of professional traders who earn 6 to 7-digit incomes. Of course, your monthly income from trading stocks is dependent on your initial cash in your Trading Brokerage Account. We advise a separate account for long-term and one for stock trading for monthly income. It keeps everything neat, clean and simple to track for IRS purposes. Trading as a Business is something all traders should consider as this IRS status has many perks and deductibles that lower taxes. You have CONTROL again. If your retirement income or Social Security is cut or diminished for any reason, then you are in a position to move forward and maintain your retirement lifestyle. Trading Successfully in Retirement There are rules and parameters that you must adhere to IF you want to make your trading in retirement a success: Do not Day Trade or trade intraday. It takes the longest to learn to do correctly and has the highest risk with the least amount of profit potential. The SEC has been studying retail day trading for 20 years and has determined that 99% of all retail day traders not only lose all of their capital over time, but often are faced with steep margin calls by their broker. If you’re looking for a short-term trading style, learn swing trading. Avoid scams and so-called “gurus.” People with a lot of life experience know that investing in an education is the best way to meet your goals and have success in any endeavor. Make sure that the company you choose for your trading education has a credentialed individual teaching and creating the courses you will take. Make sure the company is at least 20 years in business and has testimony from successful students. Check BBB and see what, if any, complaints or accolades the company has earned. A corporate entity provides a foundation of credibility over a sole proprietorship. Choose wisely, not some gimmick or get-rich-quick scheme. Risk Analysis, Risk Management, and Risk Mitigation are essential to retirement stock trading. When you don’t have time to recover huge losses, it is critical to learn how to keep losses to a very small amount. TechniTrader provides Trade Management and Risk Analysis training in our comprehensive courses so that you have that knowledge and skill before you ever place your first trade. Simulate Trading Stocks on a real trading simulator that is identical to the real trading platform you will be using when you go live trading stocks. Our students stay on their simulator until they have a consistent minimum of 75% success rate or higher. Elite students and our semi-professional to professional students have success rates between 80-90%. That sounds amazing, but it is simply a matter of receiving a complete education on: Developing Spatial Pattern Recognition Skills. Determining Risk factors and only trading low-risk stocks. Adhering to our Trading rules to eliminate mistakes and bad habits. Respecting the market as a means of financial security and not a place to gamble. Using our Trade Management Planner to make trading simple, straight forward, and fun. Using our Trading Journal to analyze the market conditions, trading conditions, and your activity over time, especially if trading as business. Retirees tend to be excellent traders when trained by professionals who understand your needs and goals for monthly income beyond your long-term investments, dividends and social security checks. TechniTrader is a specialized and unique educational experience. What we teach is taught nowhere else. We have thousands of successful retirees who have made their retirement years the best years of their lives.

Lithium Ionic Corp - The Western Hemisphere’s Next Significant Lithium Producer?

Lithium Ionic

By Jeremy Golden, Benzinga As one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the global economy, the transportation sector is under heightened scrutiny. Experts are welcoming the transition from the more than 1.3 billion internal combustion engine vehicles currently on the road to electric vehicles (EVs), the largest source of demand for lithium. Essential to the production of lithium-ion batteries, lithium demand is expected to quadruple by 2030, making it a critical mineral that is fueling the green revolution. A mining company committed to the global energy transition is developing a nuanced, commercial-grade lithium operation economically and sustainably to support the EV and battery supply chains. Lithium Ionic Corp. (OTCMKTS: LTHCF) is developing lithium properties in Brazil with the goal of extracting lithium in the near future. Located in Minas Gerais state in Brazil, Lithium Ionic’s properties span 14,182 hectares, or more than 35,044 acres, in this prolific lithium province. Last month, Lithium Ionic published results that support a long-life and low-cost spodumene concentrate mining project with a post-tax net present value of $1.6 billion. In comparison, the company’s market capitalization is about $140 million. Bandeira Project – Granted Priority Status Since Lithium Ionic launched in May 2022, the company reports that its portfolio of properties has increased more than tenfold as it continues to assess prospective properties in this globally significant hard rock lithium district. Currently, the company is focused on advancing its flagship Bandeira Project toward a production decision. The Itinga basin, also known as Brazil’s “Lithium Valley,” is situated within the Eastern Brazilian Pegmatite Province, the largest lithium pegmatite province in South America. Experts view it as one of the most significant emerging lithium spodumene basins globally. The region boasts excellent infrastructure, including highway access, hydro-electrical grid power, water and nearby commercial ports. In July 2023, Lithium Ionic’s projects were granted priority status by the state of Minas Gerais regional government bodies, facilitating the acceleration of approvals and licensing through the development process and paving the way toward mine operation and production. Construction permits are expected to be obtained by mid-2024. Last month, Lithium Ionic’s 100%-owned Brazilian subsidiary, MGLIT Empreendimentos Ltda, entered into an agreement with Cemig Distribuição S.A., the largest electricity distributor in Brazil. With access to Cemig’s low-cost renewable hydroelectric power, Lithium Ionic will be prepared to fast-track Bandeira toward production by utilizing its existing power grid. In October 2023, Lithium Ionic reported an updated mineral resource and Preliminary Economic Study. The company reported that the numbers support projections that the Bandeira Project can be a highly profitable operation. Since reporting robust project economics, Lithium Ionic has announced multiple sets of drilling results that demonstrate the quality of the system and the project’s growth potential. Following the positive results from its 50,000-metre drill program, Lithium Ionic says it is rapidly advancing Bandeira, its flagship project, toward a production decision. While it continues to explore other regional targets, permitting activities are progressing and the project engineering is advancing. The Bandeira Project is in the same district where Companhia Brasileira de Litio’s Cachoeira mine has been producing lithium for more than 30 years. Nearby, Sigma Lithium operates the largest hard rock lithium deposit in the Americas through its Grota do Cirillo project. Drilling next to a multi-billion dollar lithium producer will allow Lithium Ionic to mirror this development by continuing to advance Bandeira. Lithium Ionic reports that Bandeira has delivered an 84% resource growth rate in less than four months, demonstrating its upside potential. “The growth trajectory of this deposit since we began drilling it in April 2022 is a testament to its significance within our large portfolio of properties in this belt and will continue to be a key driver of our success,” said Lithium Ionic CEO Blake Hylands. “Bandeira represents just a fraction of our land holdings, and our team strongly believes that our success at this property could be replicated at our other properties in the region with the same effort.” This Canadian company is advancing its lithium projects in Brazil’s mining-friendly jurisdiction which is quickly emerging as a world-class hard-rock lithium district. Follow its progress by visiting lithiumionic.com. Lithium Ionic is a Canadian mining company focused on becoming the next significant Brazilian lithium producer. Our properties are located in Brazil’s Minas Gerais state, a mining-friendly jurisdiction that is quickly emerging as a world-class hard-rock lithium-producing district. A recent PEA for the Bandeira Project indicates a long-life, low-cost, and highly profitable project with a Post-tax NPV8% of US$1.6B (~C$2.2B) and IRR of 121%. Our goal is to generate significant returns for our stakeholders by becoming the country's next producer of high-quality spodumene concentrate for the global lithium supply chain.

Global Energy Metals Provides Technical Update on Nevada-Based Lovelock and Treasure Box Copper-Nickel-Cobalt Projects and Files NI 43-101 Technical Report

Global Energy Metals Corporation

Vancouver, BC - TheNewswire - December 7, 2023 - Global Energy Metals Corporation (TSXV:GEMC) (OTC:GBLEF) (FSE:5GE1) (“ Global Energy Metals ”, the “ Company ” and/or “ GEMC ”), a multi-jurisdictional, multi-commodity critical mineral company with exposure to growth-oriented battery metal projects supporting the global transition to clean energy, is pleased to provide an update on its Lovelock Mine and Treasure Box projects (“Lovelock” “Treasure Box” and/or the “Projects”) announcing the filing of a Technical Report in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 - Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) (the “Report”). The Report is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and the Company’s website, www.globalenergymetals.com.   The Report represents an important milestone for the Company as it provides a comprehensive and independent evaluation of the Projects. The Report is effective as of November 28, 2023, and follows the successful negotiation and closing of the consolidation of 100% ownership in the Projects. GEMC holding 100% ownership of the Projects simplifies decision-making and provides the optimal structure to oversee the rapid exploration and development of key U.S. based battery minerals projects at a time when securing future supply of critical minerals required for a North American battery supply chain is a top priority.   Mitchell Smith, Global Energy Metals’ CEO and Director, said: “ The Report represents a significant step forward for Global Energy Metals providing valuable information for our shareholders and investors and underscores the significant potential of the Projects. We will now evaluate and compare a broad selection of options for the purpose of maximizing  value and realize the potential, as demonstrated by the Report, the Projects have in the growing North American battery metals market. ”   Global Energy Metals Corporation retained Trevor Mills of Dahrouge Geological Consulting USA Ltd. (“Dahrouge”), to prepare an independent Technical Report on the Projects, located in Pershing County and Churchill County, Nevada, USA.   The Lovelock  Mine Property consists of 27 contiguous unpatented lode mining claims in Pershing County, Nevada and 63 unpatented lode mining claims in Churchill County, Nevada covering approximately 1,813 acres. The Treasure Box Property consists of 76 contiguous unpatented lode mining claims in Churchill County, Nevada, covering approximately 1,561 acres.   This Technical Report has been prepared in compliance with regulatory disclosure and reporting requirements as outlined in Canadian National Instrument 43-101 – Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), companion policy NI 43-101CP and Form 43-101F1 – Technical Report. The Qualified Person responsible for this report is Trevor Mills, P.G., SME-RM, a Principal Geologist with Dahrouge Geological Consulting USA Ltd.   The purpose of this report was to provide a review of GEMC’s Lovelock Cobalt Mine and Treasure Box projects located in Nevada, USA. The report is being  used to consider, evaluate, and compare options for the purpose of identifying opportunities to maximize the value for GEMC shareholders. The report is part of GEMC’s strategic review to summarize the previous exploration conducted on the Property and provide recommendations for future work.   Interpretation & Conclusions: Work conducted to date by GEMC has successfully advanced understanding of the geology and mineralization at both the Lovelock Cobalt Mine Property and the Treasure Box Property. A combination of sampling programs, geophysical studies, and a drilling program have provided successful results that confirm historical mineralization and confirm work by recent owners of the properties. Underground mapping and sampling identified N40E and N75W structural controls and post-mineral faulting at the Lovelock Cobalt Mine. Results of a limited drilling program in 2022 indicate a 9- to 16-meter-thick zone of Co-Ni-Cu mineralization in the hanging wall of the N40E fault that corresponds to a chargeability high identified in a 2018 DC/IP resistivity survey. Geophysical magnetic surveys of the Lovelock Cobalt Mine property were able to partially distinguish major lithologies, correlate linear magnetic features with mapped surface faults, and potentially identify alteration within the mafic lithologies.   Magnetic surveys at the Treasure Box Property have successfully identified several faults within mafic HMC rocks that are interpreted to continue under the overlying rhyolitic extrusive rocks. Numerous magnetic-high anomalies also correlate with previously identified soil anomalies for base and precious metals (Au, Ag, Zn, Cu). A mineralized oxide zone has been partially delineated with trenching, surface sampling, and drillholes. Many faults interpreted from the magnetic surveys correspond to mapped surface faults highlighting the effectiveness of the method. Machine learning using geophysical data and remote sensing multispectral imagery was used to correlate clustered data to known geology and improve geological contacts and generate prospective targets. A ground-truthing sampling program of these targets returned positive results.   The successful results using geophysical methods encourages further utilization. Additional IP surveys and/or controlled-source audio magnetotellurics/magnetotellurics (CSAMT/MT) Hybrid-Source Audio-Magnetotellurics (HSAMT) can be considered to provide further definition of geological features. Ground truthing of features via detailed geological mapping is encouraged. Gross geological units have been defined; however, understanding the details of the mineralized units will require quality geological mapping of lithology and alteration. Systematic rock and soil sampling will also provide important data to combine with mapping and new geophysical surveys to further understanding of mineralization on the Property.   Positive exploration results at both properties continue to indicate the potential at each location and follow-up work should be planned. Positive exploration results at each property to date suggest the potential to advance the extent of known mineralization. Known mineralization trends are also present within the patented claims near each property and may represent extensions of mineralization within GEMC’s holdings.   The Author concludes that the Lovelock Cobalt Mine Property and the Treasure Box Property are properties of merit and warrant continued exploration.   About Dahrouge Geological Consulting Ltd. Dahrouge Geological is a North American mineral exploration, consulting, and project management group with offices in Canada and the United States. They provide professional geological, logistical, and project management services to the world’s mining and mineral resource industry including project generation, program design, geophysics, project evaluation and mine site operations.   Qualified Person Mr. Paul Sarjeant, P.

Multi-Purpose PhoneSpuds Keep Users’ Phones Handy and Charged, Wherever They Are

Prodigy Press Wire

Smartphones are an integral part of people’s lives today, with many people spending a significant part of their day on their device, whether for work, leisure, or communication. One of the main concerns of smartphone users is having enough battery charge for uninterrupted use of their device. To help address this concern, inventor Kim Diamond has created the PhoneSpud, a unique item that combines the characteristics of a decorative pillow, a phone case/holder, and a power bank. Named for its potato-like shape, the PhoneSpud holds the smartphone behind a removable and replaceable transparent vinyl screen which still allows the user to operate their phone. It also has a zippered compartment that stores a power bank, with a “belly button”, or a hole where the charging cable goes through. This allows people to simultaneously use and charge their phones anytime, whether they’re traveling, resting, camping, or any other activity they can think of. The PhoneSpud has a weighted base, allowing it to function as a phone stand for both vertical and horizontal orientations. This allows the user to operate their phone even when lying down on their bed. PhoneSpud Currently available in three colors and designs – brown, gray, and leopard print – more unique and entertaining patterns are in the pipeline for the PhoneSpud. It can also be purchased with or without a power bank bundled. According to Diamond, she came up with the idea for the PhoneSpud while she was sick with COVID in 2020. She contracted what was known as long COVID, with symptoms such as muscular weakness and difficulty of movement. She had to remain in bed for long periods of time, forcing her to quit her job as a sales and business development executive. Diamond also suffered a head injury in a fall, prolonging her recovery. Due to being mostly immobile, Diamond was using her smartphone in bed a lot to pass the time. She was looking for a pillow to support her phone while she used it, as well as a way to keep it charged even without a power outlet nearby. The tripod she had at the time wasn’t able to provide the support she needed. An inventor at heart, Diamond started designing a solution, which eventually became the PhoneSpud. During development, Diamond was targeting the PhoneSpud to buyers who have been using smartphones for most of their lives, such as those in their teens and 20s. However, she found out that the PhoneSpud also appealed to middle-aged and elderly users due to the comfort and ease of use it provides. “Using a smartphone is one of the few activities you can do while convalescing,” Diamond says. “I experienced this personally during my recovery from long COVID, as did my husband during his battle with leukemia. The PhoneSpud is both a useful and fun product. I hope the whimsy with which it was created, along with its practical use, shows the type of person I am and the company I’m striving to develop. Who doesn’t want a pillow for their phone?” Media contact: Name: Kim Diamond Email: kim@phonespuds.com Release ID: 834099
