Stair Railing Cost – Not all the stairs are the same, although they have the same function: to communicate the lower floor with the upper one, thus overcoming the height differences. There are small stairs, large, escapotables, fixed, spiral, wooden, glass, modern, traditional, for all tastes, pockets, and spaces. The combination of materials can be an option for the design of your staircase.
Wood and glass always look good, plus there are many designs to combine these materials: whether the steps are made of wood and the glass stair railing cost, or vice versa. It may also be that there are no handrails. And the two materials are combine only on the rungs, whether they are attach or separate. Ideally, regardless of the material with which the staircase is build, take maximum advantage of the space under the staircase. Whether a closet, study area or small garden is install. The glass railing must be cleaning carefully and the wood must be periodically maintain.

A Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT), is a two-way satellite communications system using either ground-based or stabilized maritime Vsat antennas smaller than 10 feet (3 meters). VSAT systems access a variety of communications satellites located in geosynchronous orbit 22,300 miles above the earth. Most VSAT antennas range in size from 75 cm to 1.2 m. Data speeds typically range from 128 Kbps to 4 Mbps. Uses include data, video and voice applications.
VSATs are most commonly used to transmit narrowband or broadband data used for credit card processing, satellite Internet access, Voice Over IP (VoIP) and video feeds. Portable VSAT antennas are frequently employed by news organizations to transmit audio and video data from remote locations inaccessable by conventional telephone and data communications channels.
VSAT Systems provide commercial-grade satellite Internet service. This is especially important for individuals or businesses that demand reliable service. VSAT systems use more powerful and more stable equipment than other "consumer-grade" satellite such as Hughesnet / Direcway or Starband satellite Internet systems. VSAT Satellite Internet service providers also limit the number of customers using the same channel to ensure greater availability and reliability.
VSAT satellite Internet Systems support Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) Telephone services. Consumer-grade Satellite Internet systems such as HughesNet and Starband do not officially support VOIP and their technicians cannot provide advice on using VOIP with their equipment. VSAT satellite Internet Systems use commercial-grade equipment similar to that used by news organizations to support high quality video and audio transmissions from distant sites.

Daniel Karrenberg Helped Bring the Internet to Europe, and Now He Keeps It Running

While Lawrence Landweber, Vint Cerf, and Bob Kahn were setting up America's earliest network connections, across the Atlantic in Amsterdam, Daniel Karrenberg was building what would become Europe's first intercontinental network.
While Lawrence Landweber, Vint Cerf, and Bob Kahn were setting up America's earliest network connections, across the Atlantic in Amsterdam, Daniel Karrenberg was building what would become Europe's first intercontinental network. Arguably, Karrenberg's contributions, coupled with innovations from Cerf, Landweber, and Kahn, created today's modern internet.
Karrenberg's first taste of networking came during a summer job at Microsoft's Bellevue, Washington headquarters in 1982, while he was still a computer science student at Germany's Dortmund University. While at the young American company (Microsoft had about 220 employees then, and had just launched its first computer mouse) he was introduced to Usenet, a news and electronic mail network. "This is great, I want this at home and at my university," Karrenberg recalls thinking at the time.
When Karrenberg returned to Europe after that summer at Microsoft, he sought out others who wanted a Usenet-like connection in Europe as well. He ended up coordinating the creation of EUnet, the European version of Usenet.
The big problem with adoption of early European networks like EUnet was overly expensive long-distance and international rates for phone calls and data transfer. There was a central European node and individual country nodes, which were largely segregated thanks to telecom tariffs. The tariff boundaries closely followed political boundaries, so sending data between countries frequently was extremely pricey.
After university, Karrenberg ended up at the Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica (CWI) in Amsterdam and while there, helped build a central European backbone node that was separate from the expensive telecom network. Leveraging that backbone was the key, Karrenberg realized, to lowering the cost and growing the use of EUnet. He was spot-on.
As traffic and the number of nodes on the nascent EUnet network grew, Karrenberg had the chance (and money) to move completely away from telephony to cheaper data transmission services. Ultimately, he was able to lease a circuit for the exclusive use of EUnet.
Intercontinental circuits were the cheapest, so naturally that is what Karrenberg leased. With the circuit lit up he was able to send data from CWI to the Center for Seismic Studies in Arlington, Virginia. It was the first intercontinental interconnection that wasn't funded by a government research or military project.
Karrenberg says once he had that circuit, it made no sense to run the "store and forward" protocol on it, so the team at CWI ran IP on it and made it an internet link. That move paved the way for EUnet to connect with NSFNET and CERN's TCP/IP connections, ultimately creating the internet we know today. Karrenberg grew EUnet circuit by leased circuit. "Once you had enough volume to finance a leased circuit, you had some time to grow before you reached the bandwidth of that circuit," Karrenberg says.
After the major networks adopted IP, Karrenberg helped establish Réseaux IP Européens (RIPE), a volunteer organization that coordinated internet routing in Europe. By the '90s, Karrenberg realized some of that coordination needed formal oversight, even though RIPE was originally designed to operate without a central body calling the shots. In order to keep the integrity of the original RIPE, the association was organized independently and called Réseaux IP Européens Network Coordination Centre (RIPE NCC). RIPE NCC was responsible for distributing IP addresses for the newly hatched internet. Today it administers IPv6 addresses to European internet service providers.
Karrenberg led RIPE NCC until 1999 and now serves as the organization's chief scientist. His work revolves around keeping the internet secure and stable. "In the developed parts of the world, the internet has become a utility like water, electricity and sewage," says Karrenberg. "There is a lot of effort required and interest in keeping it working and developing."

Alex Morgan on USWNT equal pay lawsuit: 'This is about women in all industries'
Mike Bianchi, Pro Soccer USA
Orlando Pride forward Alex Morgan said she hopes the USWNT lawsuit helps women fighting inequality in other industries. (Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images)
ORLANDO, Fla. — Orlando Pride goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris just shakes her head in disbelief that civilization has advanced to the year 2019 — an inclusive and enlightened time when her recent engagement to teammate Ali Krieger was celebrated among fans and athletes throughout the soccer world — and yet, Harris and her colleagues on the U.S. women's national team are still treated as second-class citizens compared to their male counterparts.
A marriage between two women is legally and socially acceptable, as it should be, but sadly, so too is unequal compensation among American men and women soccer players. Even when the women are much better at their jobs than the men.
Which is why Harris, her superstar Pride teammate Alex Morgan and the 26 other members of our world champion national women's soccer team just filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against U.S. Soccer — the federation that governs the sport in this country. Our women want equal pay, equal perks, equal working conditions, equal resources, equal per diems, equal travel arrangements, equal everything.
And not only do these amazing women deserve the same treatment as their male counterparts; they probably deserve more. Our men's national team has never won diddly poo and couldn't even get to the World Cup last year; our dominant, dynamic women's team is the premier power on the planet with three World Cups and four Olympic gold medals.
Memo to U.S. Soccer: Check your bleeping calendar! This is 2019; not 1919. Believe it or not, women are actually allowed to vote now and, yes, even own land.
Why is this even a topic of discussion?
Why doesn't U.S. Soccer just do what any decent parent would do: Treat your daughters with the same respect as you treat your sons?
"We're wondering the same thing," Harris told me Thursday during Pride media day. "This has to change and we're trying to create that change. It shouldn't be up for debate whether I make the same amount as a man if I'm doing the same damn job and I'm putting in the same work, the same hours and I'm getting better results and bringing in more money. This shouldn't be a conversation; it should be a freaking right."
This is not only a fight for the U.S. women's national team, it's a fight for women athletes everywhere. Correction, it's a fight for women in every profession in every country across the globe.
"As female athletes, they (the U.S. women's national team) are pioneers. They are fighting the good fight for the rest of us," said Pride defender Alanna Kennedy, a member of the Australian national team.
Said Morgan: "This isn't just about us; It's about women in all industries. Women fight for equality every single day. Our hope is that we not only set up ourselves, we set up the next generation as well."
U.S. Soccer should be ashamed of itself. The organization will tell you that this is a complicated compensation issue because the U.S. women's national team and the U.S. men's national team have separate collective bargaining agreements with different pay structures. U.S. Soccer will also tell you that they are at the mercy of FIFA, the world soccer governing body that doles out $400 million in bonuses to the 32 men's teams participating in the World Cup whereas the 24 women's teams get only $30 million in bonuses.
This argument is lame. The U.S. men's national team, riding the coattails of Brazil, Argentina, France, Germany, etc., has little to do with the financial success of the World Cup. The U.S. men are sort of like Vanderbilt cashing that $50 million TV check from the SEC every year just because the Commodores are lucky enough to be in the same conference as Alabama, Georgia, LSU and Florida.
Meanwhile, the U.S. women's national team is Alabama; they are THE reason for the financial success of their World Cup. Not only that, but an argument could also be made that the U.S. women have had 10 times the impact of their male counterparts in growing the game of soccer in this country. The U.S. women are national heroes. The U.S. men are national nobodies.
Without question, if you were judging and compensating them on merit, then the U.S. women should actually get more, not less, than the U.S. men. But this should not be based on merit; it should be based on fairness.
U.S. Soccer isn't some independent, privately-owned sports league like the NBA. Nobody has an issue with NBA players making significantly more money than WNBA players because the NBA makes billions of dollars every year whereas the WNBA doesn't even break even.
But U.S. Soccer is a nonprofit organization that funds the United States men's national team and the United States women's national team.
The two key words here are, "United States." And in the United States, all men and women are created equal.
Iconic Orlando Pride forward Marta, commonly recognized as the greatest women's soccer player of all-time, is a Brazilian goodwill ambassador to the United Nations who says women's inequality around the world is a major issue on her agenda.
"You shouldn't have to win anything to be treated equally," Marta said. "Women should be treated equally to men because it's the right thing to do."

FCC improved its gross operating income (EBITDA) by 2.8% to 761.5 million euros in the first nine months of the year
The Group's consolidated income fell by 2.8% to 4,448.1 million
Net operating profit (EBIT) amounted to 393.4 million euros in the first nine months of the year, compared to the 414.3 million euros obtained in 2019, which is a decrease of 5%
Net financial debt fell by 13.8% compared to the end of the previous year, to 3,084 million euros
The FCC Group's gross operating profit (EBITDA) rose by 2.8% in the first nine months to 761.5 million euros. This represents an increase in the EBITDA margin to 17.1% compared to 16.2% in the same period last year.
The Group's consolidated income fell by 2.8% to 4,448.1 million up to September. This reduction is partly due to the measures introduced since March to combat the COVID-19 health crisis. Despite this, the utilities activities (especially Environment and Water) continued to perform well due to their nature as essential services, in addition to the Concessions area that increased its contribution to Group revenue after acquiring a majority stake in the Cedinsa Group in November last year.
Net operating profit (EBIT) stood at 393.4 million in the first nine months of the year, compared to the 414.3 million euros obtained in 2019, which is a decrease of 5%. This result shows the effect of the developments in gross operating profit together with the higher provision for amortisation corresponding to transport concession assets affected by operating activity following their entry into consolidation at the end of last year.
Even with the reduction in net financial expenses of 5.7% in the period, profit before tax totalled 299 million euros, a reduction of 22.5%, mainly due to the developments in exchange rate differences in the period.
Attributable net income reached 174.5 million, 25.1% lower than in the same period of the previous year. Adjusted for the aforementioned exchange rate differences, its development would have been -4.8% compared to the previous year.
As at 30 September, net financial debt fell by 13.8% compared to the end of the previous year, to 3,084.7 million euros.
The Group's revenue portfolio closed at 30,044.7 million euros at the end of the year, which still does not include significant contracts provisionally awarded in the Construction and Environment areas
FCC Construcción will build a new hospital in the United Kingdom for 590 million euros
Last September, a consortium in which FCC Construcción participates was awarded the contract for the design and construction of a new hospital in Jersey. The design is valued at 26.4 million euros and the execution period will be one and a half years. The construction phase will then begin, valued at a further 550 million euros.
Other significant works awarded include the E6 motorway in Norway valued at 238.8 million euros. This is the first contract awarded in that country and includes the design and construction of a new, 25-kilometre section of the E6 motorway with a 47-month execution period. Special mention should go to the award this year of the design, construction and maintenance of section 2 of the Maya Train (Mexico), jointly with Carso Infraestructuras y Construcción (CICSA). The project consists of a 200-kilometre section valued at more than 700 million euros with an execution period of 28 months to which a further five years of maintenance has been added.
The FCC Group's environmental services area has strengthened its position in the United Kingdom with the entry of a financial partner
Last July, FCC reached an agreement with the investment group Icon Infrastructure Partners for the purchase of 49% of the capital of its new subsidiary Green Recovery Projects Limited, header and owner of five energy recovery plants for its Environment subsidiary in the United Kingdom, for an amount totalling 198 million pounds sterling. This means an appreciation in the value of the company, at 100%, of 650 million pounds including its debt. The recovery plants ("EfW") are located in Kent, Nottinghamshire, Buckinghamshire, Edinburgh and Lincolnshire. Final closure of the agreement is pending the corresponding regulatory approvals.
The head of the area, FCC Servicios Medio Ambiente Holding, will maintain control of the new subsidiary and its global consolidation, as well as a 50% stake in the incinerator in Mercia and a 40% stake in the one in Lostock.
FCC as licensee for the construction and operation of a motorway in the United Kingdom
FCC, through its company FCC Concesiones, has been selected for the extension of the A465 motorway in Wales (United Kingdom). FCC is part of the Future Valleys consortium together with other local and international partners. The project was developed under the PPP model and consists of doubling the current motorway. It is 18 kilometres long and represent a significant improvement to the connectivity and development of the region, with a planned investment of more than 600 million euros.
FCC has agreed to the sale of certain infrastructure concessions for more than 400 million euros
On 3 October, FCC agreed to sell its entire stake in three concessions located in Spain to Vauban Infrastructure Partners, within its policy of rotation and selective development of projects in this activity. These three concessions are included in the portfolio of the FCC Group, which has a stake in 14 transport infrastructure concessions. The agreement means the transfer of 51% in the Cedinsa Group, which manages the concession of four dual carriageways in Catalonia, 49% in Ceal 9, the concessionaire for section 1 of line 9 of the Barcelona Metro, and 29% in Urbicsa, the operator for the Ciudad de Justicia (City of Justice), also in Barcelona. The price to be paid by Vauban for all of FCC's stakes in these concessions amounts to 409.3 million euros and this will improve the Group's treasury position while enabling the deconsolidation of 690.7 million euros of net financial debt at the close of the third quarter. The closure of the agreement is pending obtaining the usual authorisations for this type of transaction.
In the first six months FCC has distributed a scrip dividend of €0.4/share corresponding to business year 2019
FCC's General Shareholders' Meeting, held on 2 June, approved the distribution of a scrip dividend. As a result, in that month FCC paid €0.40 per share month to those shareholders who chose to receive the company's scrip dividend in cash. It should be pointed out that 98.7% of the shareholders chose to receive the equivalent amount in new shares issued by the company. This is the second consecutive year that the FCC Group has applied this type of scrip dividend system, which the vast majority of shareholders use in its formula of new shares issued, which shows support for the Group's reinvestment and financial strengthening policy.

Ten years into her tenure at Vodafone, Lola Alarcon Tomas' career was on the rise and showed no signs slowing down, as her business acumen and notable problem solving skills nosed her steadily up the ranks within the company.
An MSBA, Lola figured, would help fill that gap. She scouted for programs and was drawn to Stern in part because the curriculum included both technical and business application courses. Lola reached out to an alumnus of the program and was immediately sold. "The way she talked about program, the way she spoke so well of the cohort and how much the MSBA had given to her career, I thought, I have to do this," Lola says.
Lola saw a return on investment immediately after graduating, when she proposed to her direct C-level report at Vodafone to create a new role to build up the advanced analytics section in product and services; soon thereafter, she was offered a position as Data Analytics and AI Product Manager. "I wouldn't have been able to move my career towards the Data Analytics, Machine Learning, and AI world if it weren't for the MSBA," she says.
Favorite course: Data Science for Business Analytics. I still go to the book from the professor every now and then to review some of the concepts.
Words to live by: "If you don't ask, you won't get". No one will look for you to do something, if you want something, you need to work hard and fight for it.
Proudest professional moment: The first nationwide product that I launched in Spain, but followed really closely by my recent appointment to lead the Big data analytics side of a project for Omni channel optimization at Vodafone Group.
If I had a month off work to do anything I wanted, I would: Sail the east coast of Spain from Murcia to Roses.
I am motivated by: Curiosity. I am a very curious person, I love studying and discovering new things. I need to be challenged at work, and I learn by doing. I consider knowledge a key leadership skill.


So one of my essentials for travel is an Immersion Heater, I stick it in a glass with some water and in a few minutes I've got hot water. It'll boil water if you want, there's no moving parts and it's really easy to use. I think it's just for water, some bad reviews talk about other liquids, but I've never tried it with anything but water; I've never considered anything but water.
You can use it for heating up water for tea or coffee or whatever. I initially got it for heating up water for my Netty Pot, sometimes the hot water when traveling isn't warm enough (or I don't want to use tap water if it's somewhere I wouldn't drink the water).
But since I've got it with me, sometimes I'll use it for heating up some instant soup or Ramen-in-a-cup for a snack when traveling. I'm trying to think of what else you can just add boiled water to: instant oatmeal(?), instant soups + noodles, instant potatoes (but that sounds boring), Mac and Cheese (I think Kraft makes a just add hot water?) and if you had a fridge to store them, you could probably boil an egg.
You've got to remember to unplug it before you remove it from the cup of water or it'll burn out (or something) and watch it when you're using it because if it boils all the water away it'll stop working permanently. The one I've got has lasted a long time but I've let it boil down pretty far before when I've forgotten about it; I actually travel with a spare, just in case.

Welcome to the first Charles Russell Speechlys ENeRgize newsletter. This is our first edition since Charles Russell and Speechly Bircham merged. The merged firm now has one of the largest commercial and business capabilities, with many acknowledged specialisms, and a pre-eminent private wealth practice. Our new Energy & Natural Resources team now has increased resource and experience across the sector, particularly in the key areas of oil & gas, mining, and cleantech & renewables.
This quarter our focus is on energy and oil and gas. We take a look at onshore oil and gas opportunities in East Africa, highlight a major Appeal Court win by our Planning team for the UK onshore oil sector, provide a brief overview of the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme which was brought in by the UK Government in July 2014, and take a look at what makes cities "Smart".
In September 2014 Malcolm Dowden, a consultant in our ENR team, joined a high-level trade delegation to East Africa, organised by UKTI and led by the Lord Mayor of London. Malcolm designed and led a series of training workshops on Public Private Partnerships, energy and infrastructure projects in the region. The sessions were designed for the emerging and rapidly-developing PPP units of the governments of Uganda, Tanzania and Kenya. During the visit, the delegation received full economic, political and security briefings from UKTI to highlight not only risks, but also the significant opportunities for business in the region. Click here to read more.
While local opposition to fracking continues to dominate the headlines, an important Court of Appeal decision was made in June this year (in turn confirming the judgment in the High Court in July last year) which serves as a reminder of the continued significance of the conventional oil and gas industry in the UK. That Court of Appeal decision should now help the domestic oil and gas industry on a national basis, by removing some of the barriers to obtaining planning consent for hydrocarbon exploration in areas which are designated as Green Belt.
Charles Russell Speechlys' client, AIM listed Europa Oil & Gas (Holdings) plc, had challenged in the High Court a 2012 Planning Inspector's decision dismissing its appeal against Surrey County Council's refusal of consent for Europa to develop an exploratory hydrocarbon well at Holmwood.

In order to comply with the UK's European-led climate change mitigation targets, the Government has brought in the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme ("ESOS"). It is a mandatory energy assessment and energy saving identification scheme for large undertakings (which are explained below), which applies throughout the UK. ESOS is intended to provide high quality and targeted information on cost-effective energy efficiency opportunities for those organisations which are caught by it, which would ultimately also bring financial savings to those affected. The Scheme was brought in by the Energy Savings Opportunity Scheme Regulations 2014, in July 2014. Click here to read more.
From Orkney to Islington, smart technologies are changing the way communities interact with their environment and are allowing them to utilise existing infrastructure to its maximum potential, often in new and exciting ways.
The Orkney Islands' smart grid was the first network in the world to link energy storage systems on an island network with the integrated output from solar, wave, wind and tidal electricity generation. By balancing supply and demand in real time, the introduction of a smart grid system allowed the island to harness its unique natural resources and increase its renewable energy generation. Meanwhile, the London Borough of Islington is using its local resources in the form of hot air from the local Northern Line to generate heat for houses and a leisure centre. In both the Orkneys and Islington, the community's use of locally available resources also helps reduce the energy waste from long distance transmission.
However, the real challenge is implementing such schemes on a city-wide scale, where smart technologies must be applied to pre-existing infrastructure networks which are typically intricate and often unwieldy. As Hitachi's Jӧrg Nowack commented, drawing on his involvement in the Copenhagen Project, it is this "interplay and interconnectivity" between different smart technologies which defines what it really means to be "smart".

PRP stands for Platelet Rich Plasma. Platelets contain growth factors that stimulate the activity of the hair follices and promotes new hair growth.
PRP for hair thinning is a non-surgical, in-office procedure. The treatment starts with a simple blood draw. The blood is then placed into a machine called a centrifuge. The centrifuge spins the blood separating the red blood cells from the plasma. The plasma is then injected into the scalp to promote new hair growth. We typically recommend 3 treatments spaced 4-6 weeks apart to get the full results.
When you schedule your complimentary consultation, Dr. Ambay will discuss the different options and treatments for hair restoration. To schedule or find out more information please call us at 813.406.4448.


A few neighbors had a chance meeting at a bar over Thanksgiving, 2016 and united over a shared drive to take action in support of Texas causes in need. That drive materialized into a small yard sale to raise a few $'s for Planned Parenthood. A few dollars became over $20K and we considered that a sign to keep at it.
In 2017 we incorporated as a non-profit organization and organized 11 more events including an amazing kick-off party, two more yard sales and a SXSW Detox and afterparty. We added in merch to help with the cost of throwing our events, which was coming straight from the pockets of our six volunteer founders.
Since that small initial yard sale, our founding members have lived a lot of life: 2 weddings, 2 new homes, multiple job changes and a new baby. All that living has made it difficult for this 100% volunteer-led group to keep going in the way that this amazing community deserves and so, with heavy hearts, we say goodbye.
You've grown into quite the community of activists, with 1,300 people subscribed via email and 2,300 following along on social media. It's you that have made this all happen. We know you'll stay active.
This has been an amazing, fulfilling reminder of all the good that exists in the world and we thank, thank, thank you for being a part of it.
*Final donation total will increase as we sell through our remaining merchandise and donate the proceeds to these beneficiaries.

Like a lot of Greenwich natives with deep roots in American soil, Kate Billingsley has some rather notorious ancestors in her family tree.
In her case, the ancestor was Supreme Court Chief Justice Roger Taney, who wrote one of the most famous legal decisions in American history, which stated no black man, even if free, could hold citizenship in the United States. The infamous Dred Scott case in 1857, named after the slave who unsuccessfully sought his freedom after living in non-slave states for four years, helped set the nation on a path toward war.
There has always been an ambivalence about the connection to Taney (pronounced "tawny" by the family, like the color) among family descendants, including Billingsley. Her maiden name is Taney.
"It was always discussed in my family. It was something of a mixture of pride and shame," said Billingsley, who studied at Greenwich Academy and graduated from Greenwich High School. "Any time it was mentioned in the classroom, I cringed a bit. ... There's been a mixed bag of feelings around my name, always."
She can recall seeing a portrait of her illustrious ancestor.
"Scary looking guy," she said. "I have trouble saying he was a great man."
That ambivalence is the subject of a new play by Billingsley, "A Man of His Time," in production at the Actors Studio in New York.
Billingsley's one-act piece imagines a modern-day
encounter between Taney and Scott, who meet in a New Jersey eatery over coffee. Taney sets out to explain his actions and offer a measured apology. It is not warmly received by Scott, who has his own perspective on slavery and the damage done to his people in the following generations.
"I hope it starts a conversation," said Billingsley, who is an actress as well as playwright and lives in upper Manhattan.
The origin of the play came about when a newspaper reporter called the Taney household in Greenwich, requesting comment on a proposal to remove a statue of Taney near the statehouse in Annapolis, Md. (It's still there.)
There was talk among family members about issuing a formal apology to descendants of Scott, who died in 1858 at age 59. Nothing came of it, until now.
Billingsley has done something else with the idea, using her dramatic skills to look at the lingering difficulties of race in the U.S. She wrote the play while the Black Lives Matter movement was advancing,
"It forced me to look at the race problem," she said. "It's an uncomfortable play. There's a lot of tension in it."
The play was accepted for production by the Actors Studio, where Billingsley earned an advanced degree in acting through a partnership with Pace University. The well-known actress Estelle Parsons agreed to take it on as director.
Parsons, who is directing other one-acts all related to the theme of community, said Billingsley's play is a compelling piece that touches on many issues in the headlines today.
"I'm trying to make theater relevant. We care about giving the audience a big experience, psychologically and emotionally," said Parsons, who won an Academy Award for best supporting actress for her role as Blanche Barrow in 1967's "Bonnie and Clyde" and was nominated for another for her work in 1968's "Rachel, Rachel." "We want to get people opened up, and thinking."
The actor playing the part of Scott, Count Stovall, said the play connects the past with the present in an enthralling manner.
"Every time we do the scene, the feelings become more and more real, more vivid. And it's something real and topical," he said.
Billingsley's father, Charlie Taney, a retired advertising executive now living in Norwalk, and the fourth-generation nephew of Justice Taney, said this week he was looking forward to engaging with St. Louis resident Lynne M. Jackson, a great-great-granddaughter of Dred Scott, who agreed to come to New York for a post-production, onstage discussion with him on Saturday.
"It's overdue that black and white Americans sat down and talked about race relations," he said. "For me to sit down with Lynne Jackson, it's going to come out of the spirit of the play."
Billingsley, who gained a love of acting while in high school in Greenwich, will perform in a Chekhov play later this year and said she hopes to pursue a career on stage.
Her family ghosts won't be disappearing anytime soon. After the show's current run ends May 21, she will work on expanding the play beyond a one-act format.
As the cast and crew assembled for rehearsal this week, Billingsley said she wanted the conversation between the Scott and Taney descendants to take place outside the theater walls, as well.
"This story is important to hear," she said. "And the question is, what are they going to do about the future?"
Performances of "A Man of His Time" at the Actors Studio are 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday; and 2 p.m. Saturday. Admission is free. Reservations can
be made at reservations@theactors

Confessions of a former tree hugger
Submitted: The Two Sides Team September 8, 2015
Alan Walter, the 2015 Ohio Outstanding Tree Farmer of the Year, has learned a lot about sustainable practices since purchasing his property in the early 1990s.
This article by Matt Reese appeared on Ohio's Country Journal website on August 31, 2015.
Alan Walter refers to himself as a "tree hugger" when he first purchased his hilly, heavily wooded property in Harrison County.
"I bought this 150-acre farm in 1990 because I was looking for a place to mushroom hunt. I had always liked nature and liked being in the woods, but at that point I really had no idea what I was going to do with the property. At that stage in my life I was a member of Greenpeace and more of a tree hugger type of person who wanted to preserve the trees and keep them from being cut down," Walter said. "I was a computer engineer and I worked in Canton for 30 years doing a variety of software projects. I had no outdoor experience other than some hiking and mushroom hunting with my dad when I was growing up. Since I bought this farm, it has really been a shift in my attitude as far as understanding what is happening on the land."
As a new farm owner, Walter quickly set to work learning what he could about how to best care for his Sycamore Hill Tree Farm. He found the learning curve as steep as his newly purchased hillsides.
"I just started calling anyone I thought I could get good advice from — OSU Extension, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, the Soil and Water Conservation District, the Ohio Division of Wildlife. Many of those groups sent someone to the farm and pointed me in the right direction. The most helpful was the ODNR Division of Forestry Service Forester Randy Clum," Walter said. "I had a really severe grapevine infestation at that time. The vines can make the trees unmarketable for lumber because they distort the trees' shapes and rob sunlight causing the trees to die prematurely. The woods had been very heavily logged in the early 1970s and that had opened up a window for the grapevines to overtake the woods. I spent close to 10 years just getting grapevines under control."


Comment For Facebook Pic: You probably knew you could publish pictures to Facebook in a condition update, but did you understand you can post an image in a comment you make on someone else's post on Facebook? It hasn't already constantly been feasible though. It wasn't till June 2013 that the social network began sustaining photo-commenting, and it's built right into the website and also mobile app.
Now you could make a photo comment instead of just common message, or post both a message comment and also an image to illustrate it. Whatever image you choose to upload shows up in the list of comments underneath the post to which it refers.
This is a specifically good function to have for birthday celebrations and also various other vacation dreams since pictures frequently state more than words.
Formerly, to add a picture to a comment, you needed to post a photo someplace on the internet and afterwards put the code that connected to the picture. It was untidy and not as easy as it is currently.
The certain actions to do this are a little various depending on just how you gain access to Facebook.
- Click Comment on your news feed underneath the post you want to react to.
- Enter any type of text, if you want, then click the camera symbol at the right side of the message box.
- Tap comment below the post you intend to Comment on to raise the digital key-board.
- Go into a text comment as well as tap the camera icon at the side of the text-entry field.
- Select the photo you wish to comment with and after that touch Done or whatever other switch is used on your tool to leave that display.
-With or without keying text in the provided message box, tap the camera symbol alongside the text-entry area.
-Choose either Take Photo or Picture Library to pick the picture you wish to place in the comment.

New concept art drops for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2
Apart from Guardians of the Galaxy set to feature in the next Avengers movie, according to a slip from Vin Diesel in a Facebook Live video apparently, there is some more good news for Star-Lord fans. A surprise hit from 2014, Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy showed that even lesser known comic book characters could make the move to the big screen with the right actors and director on the project. The follow-up, aptly named Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 is set to hit cinemas in early May next year, with Marvel teasing footage from the film to Comic-Con attendees in San Diego, California a few weeks ago.
While we haven't seen said footage, some concept art has been unveiled courtesy of Empire. The image feature all five Guardians, including a slightly bigger baby Groot (voiced by Vin Diesel), taking on a multi-tentacled monster in outer space.
Some say the creature could be one of the film's key villains, but we're not convinced, especially as such reveals are left for fully fledged trailers or the movie itself. Nevertheless, it's nice to see the gang back together again, even if it's just an artist's rendering. According to Polygon, the image is very similar to the footage seen at Comic-Con, which also featured the same kind of bater that made the first film so great.
We do have one question though - why are Gamora (Zoe Saldana), Drax (Dave Bautista) and Rocket (voiced by Bradley Cooper) all able to breathe in space without any helmets?

An event-related brain potential experiment was carried out to investigate on-line syntactic processing in patients with Broca's aphasia. Subjects were visually presented with sentences that were either syntactically correct or contained violations of word-category. Three groups of subjects were tested: Broca patients (N=11), non-aphasic patients with a right hemisphere (RH) lesion (N=9), and healthy aged-matched controls (N=15). Both control groups appeared sensitive to the violations of word-category as shown by clear P600/SPS effects. The Broca patients displayed only a very reduced and delayed P600/SPS effect. The results are discussed in the context of a lexicalist parsing model. It is concluded that Broca patients are hindered to detect on-line violations of word-category, if word class information is incomplete or delayed available.

RIFFLORD "7 Cremation Ground / Meditation"
Band: Rifflord Title: 7 Cremation Ground / Meditation Label: STB Records Release date: November 27th 2018 (digital); December 1st 2018 (vinyl) Country: USA Format reviewed: High rate mp3 promo
RIFFLORD achieved cult status with their 2010 debut full-length release, "26 Mean and Heavy". Fast-forwarding thru eight years of struggle and ordeals, we find RIFFLORD slowly rising from grounds of Sioux Falls, South Dakota with their supremely well made sophomore album, "7 Cremation Ground / Meditation". An album that was obsessed over, no doubts in mind. Thirteen tracks of pure, unapologetic riffs, surging out of the wall of speakers, rattling the red hot vacuum tubes, that are ready to explode in the head amplifiers! A fuzz tone so thick, so abrasive, that it made my reference speakers to physically distort, at times. The frantic organ work, combined with a solid, resonating bass guitar and an absolutely menacing drumming, offers a solid geography of textures, paving the way for the acres of harmonic distortion erupting out of the band's guitarists interplay. Wyatt Bronx Bartlett, the founder of Rifflord, stressed over every single detail, compositional and technical. According to Wyatt, "7 Cremation Ground / Meditation" was mixed five separate times, and remastered three, resulting in a production strongly anchored in the psychedelic heavy rock of the 70s, with a sound that I will dare to refer to as the Upper Midwest Stoner! Yes, we're talking Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and obviously the Dakotas! With the local cultural elements and traditions having a clear impact on the songwriting process, and not only. To expend on that, Wyatt cleverly infused the music on the forthcoming record with a lush, heavy dose of Americana: folk, blues, country – from the purely rural plains and extending well into the rust belt, this album is as American as apple pie. Yes, Black Sabbath and Hawkwind can be heard – the Brits' influences are represented well, but not in a way which would rob RIFFLORD's music of its authenticity. Other influences that I found palpable in the band's new material are Detroit's MC5 and also a slight primitive punk vibe. Coincidently, very similar influences resonated from within one other 2018 release that I have great affection for: Anguish's "Under the Influence".
From impending doom to Americana – the new gospel of South Dakota, RIFFLORD takes the mighty riff to the electric grave. Mind altering substances are not required, but highly recommended! Buy this album! 9/10

Florida State Athletics | April 20, 2014
Martin wins No. 1,800 as Florida State wins in 13 innings
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- It took 13 innings Saturday night but the end result was a good one for fifth-ranked Florida State (30-8, 16-4) as the Seminoles clinched the weekend series with a 4-3 victory against Wake Forest (24-17, 11-9) on Gene Hooks Field.
Danny De La Calle's RBI single in the 13th scored John Sansone from second for the go-ahead run to give the Seminoles their fourth consecutive series victory against the Demon Deacons in Winston-Salem.
"Danny D did it for us with that one," Florida State head coach Mike Martin said. "He did a very good job of knocking in the winning run."
The win gave Martin career win No. 1,800 making him just the third coach in Division I history to reach the historic milestone. Martin joins Texas' Augie Garrido and Gene Stephenson on that list.
"I think really one day I will look back on this but right now it's just a number and I don't want it to sound likes it's not important, it is important because we won a ball game," Martin said. "But what's important to me is seeing those young men get to the series [College World Series] that's what excites me more than anything about this job. I want to see those young men get to Omaha."
Jameis Winston (1-0) pitched a perfect bottom half of the 13th to secure the win. The Seminole closer finished the night tossing a career-high 4.2 shutout innings en route to his first victory of the season. Winston allowed just two hits and a walk while striking out two on 44 pitches.
"No, we don't," Martin said on wanting to throw Winston 4.2 innings. "But he kept having the short number of pitches. He gave us a chance. We kept waiting for the big hit and got it on a 'Texas Leaguer' [in the 13th]. It was a great win for us."
Winston entered the game with one out in the bottom of the ninth and the winning run standing at third. The Deacs tried a safety squeeze with Grant Shambley at the plate, but De La Calle made a terrific play to get to the ball just out in front of the plate and then to apply the tag to get a sliding Joey Rodriguez for the second out of the inning. Winston then retired the side with a groundout back to the mound to send the game to extra innings.
"I thought they would sac-bunt, but I went out there ready to compete," Winston said. "I was just trying to get us out of the inning. That was a heck of a play by Danny. That is why we play at Florida State, if we couldn't make those plays we wouldn't be here."
"In that situation I just thought 'this is it, if we let that run score we lose the game,'" De La Calle. "I wasn't having that."
After both teams exchanged zeroes through the 10th, 11th and 12th innings, Florida State plated the eventual game winner in the 13th. Sansone was hit-by-pitch from Garrett Kelly (1-1) to open the frame and then moved into scoring position after swiping second. With one out, De La calle sent a flare into short left center that Shambley made a diving attempt on but came up just short allowing Sansone to score to give FSU a 4-3 lead.
"I felt good; I've been feeling pretty good these last couple of days at the plate," De La Calle said. "I was just trying to produce for the team as much as possible. I'm just proud we came away with the 'W'."
Josh Delph, DJ Stewart, Brett Knief and De La Calle all finished with two hits apiece. John Nogowski reached base on three of his six plate appearances as he drew three walks.
Saturday's game tied for the longest game this year as Florida State defeated NC State in 13 innings earlier this year. The Seminoles improved to 3-0 in extra innings and 7-0 in one-run contests in 2014.
FSU starter Mike Compton did not factor into the decision on Saturday as he went 5.0-plus innings allowing two runs on four hits as he walked two and struck out two.
Florida State grabbed the early lead in game two plating a pair of runs in the top of the third off Wake Forest starter John McLeod to take a 2-0 advantage. Sansone led off the inning with a bunt single to third and scored on an RBI single to left by Delph. De La Calle, who drew a one-out walk, came around to score on a two-out RBI single to center off the bat of Stewart. The single extended Stewart's school record streak of reaching base to 59 consecutive games.
McLeod's day would come to a close after walking Jose Brizuela to open the fourth. The Seminole third baseman would later score in the inning on a sac-fly to left by Ben DeLuzio to extend FSU's lead to 3-0.
Wake's McLeod went 3.0 plus innings on Saturday allowing three runs on three hits as he walked four and struck out two marking his shortest outing of the season.
The Deacs cut the deficit to 3-1 in the fifth as Nate Mondou opened the inning drawing a walk off Compton. Mondou would score three batters later on an RBI groundout to second by Evan Stephens. Wake looked to add more in the inning with runners at the corners and two outs, but Compton got Charlie Morgan to ground out to short to retire the side.
Wake Forest tacked on another run to draw within one of the Florida State lead at 3-2 in the sixth. Matt Conway led off the inning with a single up the middle ending the afternoon for Compton. Dylan Silva came on and registered two outs but also allowed a pair of walks and an infield single which led to the Demon Deacon run.
With runners at first and second, Mondou laced an infield single to short that Justin Gonzalez made an outstanding diving stop on. His throw went high at first, but Nogowski was able to recover the ball in time to get Mondou in a run down for the second out of the inning. Conway scored during the run down to make the score 3-2 in favor of the Seminoles.
After Silva walked Ben Breazeale, Martin brought on Gage Smith who got Rodriguez to fly out to center to end the inning.
The Deacs tied the game at 3-3 with a run in the seventh. Wake put runners at the corners off Smith following back-to-back bunt singles by Stephens and Shambley. Stephens would plate the tying run as Morgan grounded into a double play at short.
The Noles squandered a golden opportunity to retake the lead in the top of the eighth leaving the bases loaded. FSU put together a little two out rally as Nogowski walked, Brizuela singled to right and Knief drew a walk. Wake reliever Aaron Fossas then got Sansone to ground out to short to keep the game tied at three.
Wake Forest looked for the walk-off victory in the bottom of the ninth as Rodriguez led off the inning with a single and moved into second on a fielding error in left. After a sac-bunt moved Rodriguez to third, Martin went to the bullpen and called on Winston, who recorded the final two outs to force extra innings.

Q: Steam won't launch in Windows 10 dual boot with Ubuntu 20.04 I have a laptop with dual boot (Windows 10 and Ubuntu 20.04). It has been about 2 months that I have been using dual boot. Before I installed Ubuntu 20.04, my Windows 10 had Steam installed. Then I installed Ubuntu 20.04 which works well so far. But on my Windows 10, Steam won't open. Then I disabled the fast startup in Windows 10. Now I can open Steam. But everytime I try to play a game from my library, the game won't launch.
I already tried to re-install the game, but it doesn't work. Then I tried to re-install Steam, and it does not work. Now Steam won't open after I tried to install a game from my libraries. What can I do to fix this?

A: I managed to solve the problem by these steps :

*

*Update the windows

*Install my NVIDIA GPU driver from the official website.

I tested it by playing Digimon Cyber Sleuth, and it seems stable so far.

What is one plus six? (Just so we know you're a real person)
08 Oct 2014: PHILIPPINES – Alien Registration Program Launched, Voluntary for Now
Who Must Register, and Who Is Exempt? Procedure Action Items
PHILIPPINES – Alien Registration Program Launched, Voluntary for Now
On 1 October 2014, the Philippines Bureau of Immigration (BI) initiated an Alien Registration Program (ARP) to update its database of foreign nationals, but has already announced that it will not be mandatory for now, due to implementation issues and the initial high volume of applicants.
Who Must Register, and Who Is Exempt?
Between 1 October 2014 and 30 September 2015, a foreign national extending their stay in Philippines beyond 59 days is required to present themselves at the Bureau of Immigration to register under ARP. Although the BI has said that currently, registration is not mandatory, this is likely to change in the near future.
For 9(a) Tourist Visa holders extending their stay beyond 59 days, and Special Work Permit holders, the ARP registration will be done at the time of application for an Alien Certificate of Registration Identity card (ACR I-Card). Previously, a personal appearance was not required for an ACR I-Card application in these cases; it now is, since biometrics must be taken.
Those whose stay has not exceeded and will not exceed 59 days are exempt. Also, foreign nationals with a current, valid ACR I-Card which required a biometrics interview at the time of application (e.g. 9(g) Employment Visa holders) are exempt from the requirement and will be registered under ARP on renewal of their ACR I-Card.
Also exempt are holders of certain classes of visa, including the Special Non-Immigrant 47(a)(2) Visa and the Multiple Entry Special Visa.
The foreign national will have to give biometric data including photographs and fingerprints, submit an application form, present valid proof of identity and pay a processing fee at one of the participating BI offices in the Philippines. They will be issued on the day with a Special Security Registration Number (SSRN), to be used in all further transactions with the BI. They will also be issued (later, by post) a new-style ACR I-Card ($50 USD + processing fee).
Note that ARP registration is still likely to be mandatory, once early teething troubles have been overcome.
Note that Special Work Permit holders and those extending a 9(a) Tourist Visa beyond 59 days must now attend an interview in person to obtain an ACR I-Card.
Ensure that any applicants awaiting processing of a 47(a)(2) or MESV and who will therefore be in visitor status for more than 59 days register under ARP.
Note that holders of expired ACR I-Cards will be registered under ARP on renewal of the ACR I-Card, and that holders of valid ACR I-Cards may voluntarily register under ARP and obtain new card with SSRN for a fee.

Journey to Brazil 2014
Saudi Arabia, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom to Brazil
The 12 winning artists of the Create & Inspire 2014 competition travelled to Brazil on the two-week creative journey of a lifetime in September 2014 under the mentorship of Tainá Azeredo, Director of Casa Tomada, the São Paulo-based artist residency space.
The initiative was supported by Art Jameel and Qatar Museums, and was part of Qatar Brazil 2014 Year of Culture.
In Brazil the team explored the country's vibrant landscape and creative scene by collaborating with local arts and social organisations in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Ouro Preto, Inhotim, Belo Horizonte, Serra do Cipó, Cachoeira and Salvador.
The journey began in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro where the young artists worked with Gui Mohallem, a Brazilian artist of Lebanese origin, to learn about the basic principles of photography without a camera and with Brazilian art collective, Ambientes Infláveis, exploring the use of inflatable structures in an urban environment.
After Rio de Janeiro, the team travelled to Ouro Preto, a former colonial mining town and a UNESCO World Heritage Site because of its outstanding baroque architecture. They then spent two days exploring Inhotim, a contemporary art wonderland set amid 5,000 acres of botanical gardens.
The team travelled on to Salvador da Bahia, Brazil's first colonial capital. There they visited the Candeal community where they took part in a percussion workshop at the Pracatum Music School, explored Salvador's historic centre, Pelourinho, trekked in Serra do Cipó National Park and went to the riverside town of Cachoeria to learn the basics of Capoeira at Ginga Mundo.
For the final part of the journey, the team returned to São Paulo where they reviewed their two weeks in Brazil and how their creative process had changed. Over the course of two days, the whole team discussed what they had learnt and each participant was asked to present a creative project they had been working on during their time in Brazil.
All films from the Journey to Brazil are available to view by clicking here and a selection of photographs is available by clicking here.
Between 6-8 November, the Create & Inspire winners presented an exhibition of artwork created during their time in Brazil, photos of which can be seen by clicking here.
"Having the chance to explore Brazil was an extraordinary experience for me both professionally and personally. Having the opportunity to visit different artistic platforms in Brazil nurtured my artistic taste and imagination and gave me a chance to see art from a very unusual point of view. The biggest advantage in the trip was getting to know the chosen members of the group, who were, without any doubt, the most significant part of the journey."

Theatrical critics applauded the scenery and effects of The Vampire. The European Magazine and London Review said they "demand[ed] a particular notice", specifically pointing out the effects of moonlight and sea, presenting a "coup d'oeil ... rarely, if ever seen excelled." This handbill for the 1820 production of The Vampire shows two moments from the Introductory Scene, and even from this black-and-white line drawing, we can imagine the effect of T.P. Cooke's appearance in fire and smoke in the dark Caves of Staffa.
For centuries demons, witches and ghosts had appeared through the stage floor by means of trapdoors. The English Opera House, for The Vampire, invented a new device of two rubber doors held shut with sandbags as counterweight; an actor would press quickly through and the weights snapped the doors immediately shut, giving an effect of the actor having melted through a solid plane. With blue fire and smoke, the actor seemed to materialize out of thin air. The "vampire trap" (or "trappe anglaise", in France)became a standard device for supernatural appearances. The Review tells us Cooke as Lord Ruthven "sinks through the stage in a scene of terrific grandeur." Theatre history was made.

Who are the participants in Superfund enforcement actions?
EPA and the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) are the primary federal response and agencies for Superfund enforcement actions. Other federal participants in Superfund cleanup actions may later seek to recover their costs through an enforcement action and could include the Departments of Agriculture, Commerce, Defense, Energy, Interior, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. These claims are brought by the Department of Justice in federal district court. States, local governments, and tribes, may also seek to recover their costs associated with cleanup activities.

Myth #1: EBay is the best place to sell your wholesale beverages..
EBay is the largest marketplace in the world and eBay has made thousands of Millionaires.
Did you know that there are millions of people on eBay that don't make a dime and go broke? They forget to tell you that those same people are all trying to sell the same items. How can you make money when thousands of people are selling the same items? It is impossible.
The people that are making money on eBay either started their store early or they are selling a unique product. If you have a unique product, then that means you are not competing with anyone and you can charge whatever price you want for your item.
EBay is a great place to sell your beverages because there is not much competition. There is too much competition selling other products such as electronics, jewelry, designer clothing and computer games. It is too hard to compete with some of these other stores that have been selling these items for years.
There are other places you can sell your beverage products on instead of eBay. You can sell them on other auction sites, your own website or through classified ads.
Myth #2: You can find Beverage wholesale sources online.
The Internet provides easy access to a great many wholesalers these days, and it's a quick way of making initial contacts. You must look in certain places to find unique wholesalers that sell beverages.
It is not easy to go on the internet and find these sources. This is why this market is not saturated.
Building up personal relationships with sellers is absolutely essential for getting the best priced goods. So whether you've found your supplier online or in a magazine, make a phone call, start up an email exchange, or have regular chats on MSN and get to know them.
Everyone will agree that pricing research is important, but when it comes to doing it, they don't.
Don't assume you know how much a wholesale item cost without doing your research. There are sources out there that will try to make more than another source. In order to make the most money, you need to find the best sources by making them compete.
If you purchase products straight from the manufacturer, I guarantee that you will get a better deal than purchasing the same product from their distributor.
But how do you locate the manufacturer and get them to sell to you? There are certain sources and sites that manufacturers are members of and you can communicate with them and get a distribution deal.
All manufacturers are in the business of selling product. Now you will not get all of them to sell to you directly but you can get their product cheaper than buying it from a retail store that must mark up the product just to make a profit.
1. It is important that you get an idea what the average price is for the particular beverage that you want to sell. You need to know what a consumer is willing to pay for it and then you need to calculate how much you can get it for in order for you to make a profit.
2. Just because you hear an item is wholesale does not mean you are getting it a ridiculously cheap price. The more you purchase the better the price you can get on the item. It all comes down to how you negotiate with the supplier.
Nancy could be dealing with the same manufacturer as you but she could be getting a better deal on the same items because she is either purchasing more items or she worked out a different deal to get better pricing.
The internet is competitive and when you are selling a similar product, you are competing on price and the person that gets the items at the best price will win if they sell the same item at a slightly lower price.
Finding a niche item (such as energy shots) that no-one else is supplying at a competitive rate is every sellers dream.
However, if you think you're going to be able to find a wholesaler supplier for this particular item by doing a quick Internet search for energy shots, you could not be more wrong.
Niche products are hard to find especially if they are in high demand and there is a great profit to be made. Not many people are willing to let you know where they got their hot selling items from.
Thus, finding a beverage supplier will take quite a bit of work on your behalf as these items can usually be hard to locate. If you want to sell hot items like red bull shots or 5 hour energy, you may have to contact the manufacturer directly or get lucky and find a wholesale source that is much cheaper than Costco or Sams Club.
It may seem impossible to locate these manufacturers or try to convince them to sell you their hot items directly, but if you have done your research, you will get lucky and find these hard to find items.
