Chestnut against animal abuse/ abandonment non profit organization  Chestnut Non Profit is an organization that helps the animal in needs at this very fast past society. As the population grew and condense into cities, more and more animals don't have have the space to live and enjoy their life. We vouch to take in any animals that need our assistance. Instead of killing them like the shelters, we would provide a large space and guarantee their safety. Located 2 hours outside of Los Angeles, CNP has the capability to host large amount of animals with room to spare.  Not only does CNP accept any type of animals in any conditions, we also have in house veterinarians to treat all kinds of creature. This is a space of peace and safety for animals in Southern California. Imagine the farm upstate where people always say they "gave away" their animals. Instead of using this phrase as a saying, the farm where animals can be happy actually exists!

After 14 years in the league, LeBron is still at the top of his game, going back to the Finals 6 years in a roll. Every year around the playoff season, LeBron wakes up and transform into the machine that carries the team over any obstacle and find a way to win most series. As he is preparing for the 7th consecutive final appearances, the Eastern Conference seems to be weaker than ever.  The number one seed of the Eastern Conference, Toronto Raptors, may appear to be a strong candidates to play against the Cavs, yet any basketball fan would remember how the Raptors operate in playoff games, Choking.. The number two seeds, Boston Celtics, lost their starting shooting guard at the very beginning of the season due to a gruesome injury and they just lost the starting point g...
