The Most Profitable Small Business In The World Today
Ufa is the capital town of the Russian Federation. It lies on the bank of the Belaya (White) River which is one of Russia's biggest cities in the termsin the beginning of World War II, it was the largest port in the country with its main industries including grain, oats, sheep and tobacco. In the later years it was one of the fastest developing towns in the region with its modern motorway and other forms of transport infrastructure in place. During the period of the Mongol occupation their biggest city was also located here, bashgirdt. After the Second World War, Ufa became an industrial centre attracting companies from throughout the world with its wide variety of factories including steel, automobile production, cement, chemical processing, petroleum refining and coal production.
The current situation has brought about a major decline in the rate of Ufa's development in the past two years. This decline has mainly been caused by the ban implemented by the Government to terminate the privileges of oilmen to explore for gas and oil in Ufa. As a consequence, all the available resources have been allocated to the government in order to ensure its stabilization. The result of these developments is that the main source of income for Ufa now comes from oil and gas and not from grain.
According to the law of the country, the main industries are the ones that receive money directly from the government. These industries are called the Restricted Free Agents in Russia. Such industries in ufa include gas and oil production, petroleum exploration, oil refineries, oil sales, petrochemical industries, chemical processing, coal production and mining. All these industries are restricted free agents, while others are unrestricted free agents. Any company that has its head offices in Russia and receives goods or services from the above said companies is considered as a restricted free agent.
On the contrary, all companies that do not receive money from the above mentioned sources are considered as unrestricted free agents. However, if an organization is registered with the Financial Supervision Agency of Russian Federation (FSAN) then it is known as a Restricted Free Agent. This registration allows the company to trade in the open market, sell goods and provide goods and services to customers without having to fulfill all the norms of other industries. This is exactly what has made ufa one of the most lucrative businesses in the world today.
As of this writing, ufa's annual turnover is around $1.8 million and this figure is expected to increase year after year. Besides earning huge profit, there are a lot of other benefits that can be gained by investing in ufa. For example, you can earn a one-year FIFO (first in first out) status, an increased market share, preferential tax treatment, a favorable depreciation schedule, exemption from inheritance tax and a reduction in corporate tax. Other than that, you can also benefit from an unmatchable 50-year warranty on raw materials and supplies and an unlimited partnership benefit for two years.

The fact that you have accepted you have an addiction problem means you have started the recovery process. However, not everyone is ready to admit that he or she needs help. According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration – or SAMHSA – half of the steps involve accepting help and staying committed to recovery. In short, the following steps are critical.
Many professionals and institutions are helping in the fight against addiction. The federal government plays a critical role by funding and partnering with private institutions, but the hard work is often done by the experts working in treatment facilities at the local level. . Quick online research can help you in finding a detox facility nearby with the expertise and staff necessary to help tackle substance abuse.
Local rehab centers will focus on the main problems that affect the area. It is okay to research centers away from where you live if you want. However, be wary of the price factor. Local facilities have an advantage, too, because you can tour the place before you commit to the rehab. You can look at the facilities before you check in for the first time. Clinics that offer detox, rehabilitation and aftercare are suitable. They provide an all-round rehabilitation experience.
It is imperative for you to review the cost function of the program you choose. Check the percentage of the cost that can be paid through insurance. Ask if Medicare and Medicaid can help with payments. Negotiate where necessary for favorable terms. You don't have to pay an arm and a leg for rehab; though the specific benefits vary by plan and by state, health insurance plans in the United States must cover substance abuse disorders, as well as behavioral health treatments.
Everything is set; you have chosen the rehab that suits you, you have discussed and arranged payments, and now you are ready to check in. Some people check in with drugs stuffed in their pockets. Ready yourself mentally that you are checking in so that you don't have to use the substances again. A good program will take you through the process of admission systematically. They will orient you to the facility, conduct a thorough examination of your health and addiction status, and prepare you for the procedure. The process of checking in may differ from one rehab to another.
The detoxification process can take 1-3 months. Expect routine drug testing during that process. After that, you will undergo counseling therapy and resilience programs that will help you cope with the new reality of life. They will also help you revive relationships with people you need in life such as family. To prevent relapse, you will need aftercare to help you maintain sobriety.
Treatment for drugs and substance abuse is essential for you and your family. It is a starting point of a process that will positively define your life. The journey starts with finding a detox center nearby. The process is rewarding when you commit to it with all your heart.


"Elokim Lo Sikalel V'Nasi B'Amcha Lo Sa'or; Do not revile a judge, and a prince in your nation do not curse." (Mishpatim 22:27) Chazal explain that the reason it says, "Amcha--In your nation," is because the issur applies when the Nasi does Maaseh Amcha, he behaves according to the Torah. If he does not, then he is not part of the issur of cursing a Nasi. If so why does it only say, "Amcha," by the Nasi and not by the Dayan in the beginning of the pasuk?
The Shulchan Gavoa brings from the Brisker Rov that a Dayan is appointed based on merit. There is no doubt that he is good Jew and does Maaseh Amcha. The Nesius on the other hand comes through Yerusha, and is not entirely earned by the righteousness of the Nasi. Therefore, it is very possible that he is not a good person, and in that case the Torah excludes him from the issur.

Some Dentists Are Offering Patients A New Perk: Free Wine
Aidan Gardiner,
MANHATTAN — Care for a riesling with your root canal?
Dentists across Manhattan have been serving up complimentary glasses of wine to patients to take the edge off dreaded dental work, DNAinfo New York has learned.
Nolita's Marini and Manci, DMD, located at 21 Spring St., features a small table in the waiting room with a collection of glassware alongside a bucket of bottles of red and white wine for patients to pour for themselves and sip at their leisure. It's one of several dental practices around the city to offer the service — according to a longtime patient and online reviews.
"It's an extra something that helps you dread the dentist a little less. I don't know why more places don't do it, quite frankly," said a 29-year-old longtime patient who asked that her name not be used.
"The wine helps take the edge off."
Other dentists who also offer their customers free wine before appointments include The Dental Boutique at 151 West 30th St., and Park South Dentistry at 30 Central Park South, according to staff and online reviews.
None of the dentists' offices have been licensed by the State Liquor Authority, according to SLA spokesmen, and are not allowed to serve the wine even if it's free.
But the dentists at Park South said they only offer the free wine to create a soothing and luxurious environment.
"We offer the beverages as part of our efforts to create a welcoming, boutique, spa-like environment in the office and make patients more comfortable," said Dr. David Janash of Park South, which also offers its patients complimentary coconut water, juices and tea.
"We also provide cozy blankets for people while they get treatments and warm, scented towels to refresh their face and hands. Our patients love it," Janash added.
The Dental Boutique, which opened in 2013, and Marini and Manci DMD did not respond to requests for comment.
The dental clinics are the latest businesses to serve up free wine to enhance their customer experience. DNAinfo recently revealed that a Clinton Hill veterinary office offers wine and home-brewed beer to waiting pet owners.
The complimentary vino swayed a Marino and Manci patient who had been to five other dentists before finally settling with them in 2010. The friends she refers there are usually sold when they hear about the wine, she said.
"It was incredibly mellow. It's not a fancy office, but they have the wine so it adds a little something, a little extra touch that shows they care," the patient said.

'The Purge' Prequel Has a Title and Teaser Poster
By Rebecca Murray on January 30, 2018 Film Photos and Posters, Movie News, Movies
A red ballcap reading not "Make America Great Again" but instead "The First Purge" is the lone image on the teaser poster for the fourth The Purge film. Universal Pictures and Blumhouse Productions just released the teaser poster which confirms the horror film's official title. Universal and Blumhouse also confirmed the next entry in The Purge series will follow along with the franchise's tradition of a summertime release, targeting a planned July 4, 2018 theatrical release date.
The First Purge was directed by Gerard McMurray (Burning Sands) with franchise creator James DeMonaco (writer/director of The Purge, The Purge: Anarchy, and The Purge: Election Year) once again writing the screenplay. Blumhouse Productions' Jason Blum (the Insidious film series, the Paranormal Activity film franchise, Get Out, Split), Platinum Dunes partners Michael Bay, Brad Fuller, and Andrew Form (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Ouija series), and DeMonaco's producing partner Sébastien K. Lemercier (Assault on Precinct 13, Four Lovers) are producing The Purge prequel. Steve Molen, Jeanette Volturno, and Couper Samuelson are on board as executive producers.
The cast of The First Purge includes Y'Lan Noel (The Hustle), Lex Scott Davis (Training Day the series), Joivan Wade (EastEnders), Luna Lauren Velez (How to Get Away with Murder), and Marisa Tomei (Spider-Man: Homecoming, Empire).
The Plot: Behind every tradition lies a revolution. Next Independence Day, witness the rise of our country's 12 hours of annual lawlessness. Welcome to the movement that began as a simple experiment: The First Purge.
To push the crime rate below one percent for the rest of the year, the New Founding Fathers of America (NFFA) test a sociological theory that vents aggression for one night in one isolated community. But when the violence of oppressors meets the rage of the marginalized, the contagion will explode from the trial-city borders and spread across the nation.

North Korea detains US citizen for rash behaviour: KCNA
Apr 26, 2014, 3:56 am SGT
http://str.sg/VgS
SEOUL (AFP) - North Korea said Friday it had been holding a 24-year-old US tourist in custody for more than two weeks after he apparently ripped up his visa at immigration and demanded asylum.
The announcement, made in a brief despatch carried by the North's official KCNA news agency, came as US President Barack Obama wrapped up the first part of a two-day visit to South Korea.
The tourist, identified as "Miller Matthew Todd", had been taken into custody April 10 for "his rash behaviour in the course of going through formalities for entry" into North Korea, KCNA said.
The report said he remained in detention and was under investigation.
US State Department spokesman Jen Psaki said Washington was aware of the reports of the arrest of a US citizen, but she had no additional information.
"We have been in touch with the embassy of Sweden about these reports," she told journalists, adding that "there's no greater priority to us than the welfare and safety of US citizens."
Washington has no diplomatic ties with Pyongyang, and the Swedish embassy there usually acts on its behalf in cases involving US citizens.
North Korea is currently holding another US citizen Kenneth Bae, described by a North Korean court as a militant Christian evangelist.
Bae was arrested in November 2012 and sentenced to 15 years' hard labour on charges of seeking to topple the government.
US efforts to secure Bae's release have so far been unsuccessful, but Ms Psaki said he had been visited by Swedish embassy representatives 11 times since his arrest, the last time being on April 18.
"We remain deeply concerned about his health," Ms Psaki said, adding "we continue to urge North Korean authorities to grant Mr Bae special amnesty and immediate release on humanitarian grounds."
According to KCNA, Miller had a tourist visa, but tore it to pieces and shouted that "he would seek asylum" and had come to North Korea "after choosing it as a shelter."
Such an action constituted a "gross violation" of North Korean law, the agency said.
North Korea has in the past freed detained Americans after visits from high-level emissaries.
In 2011, a US delegation led by Robert King, the US special envoy for North Korean human rights issues, secured the release of Eddie Jun Yong-Su, a California-based businessman, detained for apparent missionary activities.
In 2010 former US president Jimmy Carter won plaudits when he negotiated the release of American national Aijalon Mahli Gomes, sentenced to eight years of hard labour for illegally crossing into the North from China.
On another mercy mission a year earlier in 2009, former president Bill Clinton won the release of US television journalists Laura Ling and Euna Lee, jailed after wandering across the North Korean border with China.


Which B-School Admission Offer Should I Accept?
Good luck with your delightful dilemma!
Factor #1: Which institution best supports your future goals and most likely career path?
This criterion is paramount when you have clear, well-defined goals, for instance, "I want to run an IT consultancy serving financial services firms." If financial aid is an issue, calculate whether the full tuition program will increase your earning power by more than the amount of the scholarship or whether your preference for the more expensive school is worth the difference in cost.
Factor #2: Which educational approach do you prefer?
Look at methodology, curriculum, and flexibility. For applicants with more general goals, this criterion plays a more significant role.
Factor #3: Where would you rather live for X years?
Do you want to live in a big city or small college town? What region do you want to live in? Do you prefer a big university or a small college? Urban or rural? Religious or secular? Liberal or conservative?
Enjoy your great options and use these criteria to guide you as you make your decision.

Hedge is considered an order that can stop losing in Forex.
Hedge working system is started by the trader who open two processes on the same currency pair, one of them is for purchase, and the other is for selling, using one margin for both processes. The margin that is reserved for the first process, can be used in the second one.
First: forex brokers that allow using this startegy without any restrictions or terms such as EXNESS, FBS and XM brokers.
Second: forex brokers that never allow using this strategy. So any trader should know before dealing with any broker, accurately read its contract terms. Because, if he doesn't know that the broker doesn't allow using this strategy, and he open a deal of the open one, the open process will automatically be closed, and replaced with a new process without his order.
Third: forex brokers that allow using this strategy under conditions, such as trader is not allowed to benefits from hedge until giving up profit feature in his account.
The first way: using hedge as precautionary or compelling procedure, in order to be an alternative of stop-losing order. For example, a trader may open a hedge process on a currency pair that he lost, and he think that the currency pair is moving in a contradictory trend of his deal. so, he hopes to gain from the contradictory pair motion in order that price returns to make profit in the first process trend which he previously opened.
The second way: previous planning of using hedge on the same currency pair at the same time of declaration of economic data.
First: waiting strong news of the pair processes, to move a large number of points in one of the two trends, so it gets out from analysis range. The process moves to price motion, the other contradictory process should wait till price returns.
Second: pair reaches the purchase and selling limit. The percentage of raising and declining is high that is allow for a trader to make a risk.
Professional trader may use a third way, which he doesn't need to gain in the two trends, especially if the second process moves with trend. The third way is to open the second process with a higher value than the first process. When profits become more than loss in the first process, he should close both processes at the same time, but he should have experience and large practice of hedge.

Ukraine to request assistance of Turkey for project 58250 corvettes
Dorian Archus
Relationships between Turkey and Ukraine has been growing for recent years. At President level, they made courtesy calls and during the visits, many negotiations have been completed such as the purchase of Turkish-made "Bayraktar UAVs". During the "Weapons and Security-2019" exhibition, new improvements and cooperation fields are seriously discussed by the representatives of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine with their Turkish counterparts.
The new issue discussed at the exhibition is to give a hand to build the project 58250 corvettes (Volodymyr the Great).
Development of Weapons and Military Equipment of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has stated key issues about the intentions for the project.
"Today we have a project that provides for a significant amount of foreign production, including armaments. And not all foreign suppliers are ready to return to the implementation of this project because of irregular financing or on unfavorable terms for us." said Vladislav Shostak, Chief of the VTP Department of the Ukraine MoD.
According to the officer, Turkey and the United States are ready to submit proposals to equip the ship with appropriate weapons, survivability, engines and more. The Turkish side also expressed its readiness to build the main ship for Ukraine, and in the future – the corvettes for its own armed forces under this project.
It is considered very important that the necessary decisions must be made regarding the corvette program and its restoration in accordance with the instruction of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky. And the first thing to do is to determine the main contractor, because the PJSC "Black Sea Shipyard", where the unfinished hull of the first Ukrainian corvette is currently located, was put up for sale by the decision of the Economic Court of the Mykolaiv region. So, there is now a search for another company to guarantee that the ship will continue to be built to contract with him.
It should not be forgotten that the corvette can be completed only with the proper financing of the program from the budget of the Ukraine MoD, which is UAH 2 billion (appx $82 million) annually.
Reaction is : "Russia is wondered"
Turkey's answer to Ukraine probably would be considered by Russia closely. Because relationships and cooperation between Turkey and Russia maybe at top level nowadays, so much that Turkey purchased the S-400 air defense system in spite of the objections of the United States. Russia's reaction is an issue to be wondered because they have a serious conflict with Ukraine.
Turkey is pursuing a delicate balance between Russia and Ukraine. Russia has absolute sea control over the Azov Sea due to lack of Ukrainian Naval Force. Any attempt to strengthen the naval power of Ukraine is a direct threat for the Russian Naval strategy. Because of this reason, Turkey is at the edge for keeping a sensitive balance at the region.
Volodymyr the Great Project (Project 58250):
The program to build four Project 58250 class corvettes by 2021 was initially signed off in late 2011. In the wake of Russia's invasion in Crimea and the subsequent war in Donbas, the program was put on hold for the sake of saving funds for ground forces opposing Russian proxies in the country's east.
By 2017, the class' lead ship Volodymyr the Great was ready only by 17 percent, mostly in terms of the vessel's hull, and the building was expected to be completed only by 2028.
In July 2019, then-Minister of Defense Stepan Poltorak stated that the corvette was 32 percent complete, although as much as Hr 2.2 billion funding were still required for the program.
According to Ukraine's naval development strategy published in early 2019, new Ukrainian corvettes are to take the lead of a "mosquito fleet" of smaller, highly-maneuvrable vessels, mostly missile boats expected to be built by 2035.

tar pitch experiment
"For me, it summed up why I like being a scientist," Professor Shane Bergin of Trinity's School of Physics told RTE News. The search for the origin of life: From panspermia to primordial soup. The Queensland experiment already features in the Guinness World Records and won an IgNobel prize in 2005. This time, the glimpse of a falling blob of tar, also called pitch, represents the first result for the world's longest-running experiment. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Colleagues at Trinity College in Dublin were more fortunate to actually record such a rare event later. Hot summer weather in Ireland last year may have influenced the timing. The Pechtropfenexperiment (The Tar Pitch Experiment), Greek Mythology : Untying the Gordian Knot. Check out the vid below showing the moment when the pitch drop was caught on video. John Mainstone, who oversaw the experiment for more than 50 years until his death last August, missed observing the drops fall three times – by a day in 1977, by just five minutes in 1988 and, perhaps most annoying, in 2000, when the webcam that was recording it was hit by a 20-minute power outage. It all started in 1927 with physics professor Thomas Parnell, who poured Tar Pitch into a sealed funnel in his laboratory at the University of Queensland, Brisbane. He then waited three years for the material to cool down and settle. "It's a pity of course that the person in charge died about a year ago, so he never saw the drop," Hutzler says. © 2020 CNET, A RED VENTURES COMPANY.

Sign up to read our regular email newsletters, By Lisa Grossman "He would have enjoyed that.". The drop experiments show that the physics of a drop forming in a viscous material is still not well understood, Hutzler says – although he doesn't think watching pitch for decades is necessarily the best way to study it. The video of the drop in Dublin quickly went viral on YouTube. Abraham Wald and the Missing Bullet Holes, Some Interesting facts of Ancient History and culture. The fact that both experiments dropped within a year of each other is "just pure luck", says Hutzler. It was pipped to the post last year when a similar experiment, set up in 1944 at Trinity College Dublin in Ireland, captured the first ever video footage of a blob of pitch dropping. Begun in October 1944, the Pitch Drop experiment, at Trinity College Dublin's School of Physics, is one of the world's oldest continuously running experiments. Since 1944, physicists at Trinity College in Dublin have been trying to measure the viscosity of pitch tar, a polymer seemingly solid at room temperature, and witness it dripping from a funnel. Pitch is a natural viscoelastic polymer, which basically means that even though it seems hard and may shatter on a hard impact, it is actually a liquid. In 1930 he opened the clasp, but only eight years later, the first drop dissolved and plopped into the beaker below, to which another nine years later joined a second drop. Pitch feels solid and brittle at room temperature and can be easily broken with a hammer. "The viscosity of pitch-tar is calculated to be 230 billion times that of water or 230,000 times the viscosity of honey," the college's School of Physics says on the experiment page. Using honey or some other less viscous fluid would give you better statistics. Trinity physicists plan to publish their findings in the scientific journal Nature. 2966 "Theirs is in a glass container; they measure the temperature, measure the humidity as well," he says. This time, the glimpse of a falling blob of tar, also called pitch, represents the first result for the world's longest-running experiment.

The eighth and ninth drops each took about 13 years to fall, says current custodian Andrew White. It has only yielded eight drops. It could take another century for all the pitch to flow through the funnel. It took seven decades, but the pitch has finally been caught in the act. When pitch is hit with a hammer, it fragments into shards. Be respectful, keep it civil and stay on topic. It was set up by physicist Thomas Parnell to illustrate that although pitch appears solid, shattering when hit with a hammer at room temperature, it is actually a very viscous liquid. It may sound like something fit for an Ig Nobel Prize, but the Trinity experiment was originally set up by a colleague of Nobel laureate Ernest Walton, who split the atom. Pitch Tar Drop After 69 years, one of the longest-running laboratory investigations in the world has finally captured the fall of a drop of tar pitch on camera for the first time.

"I think these experiments capture the imagination just because they go on for such a long time," he says. The last three weeks have brought us a lot of cool stories about space, dinosaurs, and the rest of the scientific world. The ostensible purpose of these trials is to measure pitch viscosity and to demonstrate how apparently solid materials can flow. "It acts as a catalyst for curiosity, and that's, for me, what the driving force of science is.". White is head of the Brisbane school's "pitch drop experiment," set up in 1927 to measure the flowing capacity of the hard, black, tar derivative through a glass funnel. Begun in 1944, an Irish attempt to witness apparently solid pitch tar dripping from a funnel finally bears fruit.

Still, the Australian result is important because the experiment has a better set-up, says Stefan Hutzler, a member of the Trinity College Dublin team who used those results to calculate the pitch's viscosity. The experiment is one of the oldest in the world, but a similar attempt at the University of Queensland in Australia has been going since 1927. A drop forms only rarely, but last week a Webcam was on hand to witness the magic moment. A Webcam that was poised to record a drop of the Australian pitch in November 2000 malfunctioned, but another drop could fall this year: see the live view here.

Sadly however, the glimpse comes too late for a former custodian, who watched over the experiment for more than half a century and died a year ago.

By contrast, the Australian team filmed the collision between the ninth blob ever to fall and the eighth blob, which was sitting at the bottom of their beaker – but the ninth blob is still attached to the pitch above it.

HuHot Mongolian Grills – Create your own Asian Stir Fry
HuHot Mongolian Grills mix up unique concept with smart growth.
If you imagine a Mongolian grill restaurant, you might not instantly imagine it in Missoula, Mont.
But that's OK with Molly Vap O'Shea.
In fact, for practical purposes, her role as VP of franchise development for the burgeoning HuHot Mongolian Grills chain is to see that the brand expands far and wide from its "Big Sky" roots.
Though it now boasts 54 locations across 16 states, the idea took hold in Montana's second-most populous city in 1999, shortly after O'Shea's parents – Dan and Linda Vap – returned from a trip to nearby Portland, Ore.
"They were in Portland and saw a commercial," O'Shea said. "They'd been in the pizza business and needed a new concept. They saw the commercial and went and dined in the restaurant, and they thought it was interesting and a neat idea, and it made them want to take it to a bigger level."
As luck would have it, her brother, Andrew Vap, was living in the Washington, D.C. area at the time and looking for an opportunity to move back out west. The parents went all-in and opened the first restaurant in Missoula, then allowed Andrew to take the lead in transforming the business to a franchised operation. The first franchised location was opened nearly 1,200 miles away – in Omaha, Neb. – three years later, and Andrew now serves as the overall operation's chief executive.
Fifteen years after the initial meal was prepared, self-assurance remains a primary ingredient, too.
The HuHot website describes the chain as "a bold, exciting oasis in a desert of boring restaurant concepts. Our branding efforts mirror Genghis Khan's attitude toward the world… ripe for conquest. Like Genghis Khan viewed rival nations, we also look at our competition with confident disdain. These themes are carried throughout all our marketing and are included in our in-store materials. Adults and kids alike find themselves caught up in the excitement with each visit."
The restaurant name, incidentally, comes from the word "Hohhot," which is the capital city of Inner Mongolia. The original name in Missoula was "Mongo's," but it was changed when the business began franchising because the leadership sought something it believed with resonate better nationally.
All but eight of the 54 restaurant locations are now franchises, and O'Shea said the corporate apparatus maintains an ownership stake in the other eight to both provide a laboratory for potential new approaches and concepts and to stay connected with the day-to-day issues faced by owners.
The majority of testing is done in those eight stores, she said, though once a concept is deemed worthwhile it's rolled out to the entire roster of locations on a uniform basis. Most of the restaurants are part of retail strip plaza set-ups and occupy roughly 5,000 to 6,000 square feet of space, and great care is taken to ensure all the branding elements are in place from one to another.
"No matter which one you walk into, it has all the visuals," O'Shea said. "From the giant grill to the murals on the walls to the chopsticks in the entry way. Our job is make sure you know it's a HuHot."
And what appearance doesn't do toward that end, she said, products will.
O'Shea said the HuHot leadership team looks less upon the relatively small number of active players in the Mongolian grill space as competition, and more at the plethora of restaurant choices available to consumers across the entire casual dining landscape. Differentiation in that environment, she said, is a combination of unique menu options and more hands-on control for guests.
"People want customization. They wanted control over their meal. They want to create their own meal," she said. "Those are two of the things, and from there it's an easy transition to other factors. We serve healthy food. There's nothing behind the scenes in our restaurants, and with so many more people concerned about allergies and where the food is actually coming from, that's significant."
Another positive trend is the growth of adventure-based food programming on television.
"When people watch the TV shows they might think they're more adventurous, whether they really are or not," O'Shea said. "The way we prepare our meals takes the fear factor out of it."
Prospective franchisees are required less to have restaurant experience in their past, and more to have simply proven the ability to operate a business and manage employees, regardless of the setting. The rationale, she said, is that good owners will hire good managers, who will then hire good cooks and employees to create the right type of in-house atmosphere.
A similar "feel" approach is used when determining the right markets as well, though the company has identified California, Nevada, Idaho, New Mexico, Wyoming, Arizona, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Illinois, Kentucky, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia as "key growth" territories.
Franchises are also available across the Southeast and Northeast, while "limited development opportunities" exist in Washington, Montana, Utah, Colorado, North and South Dakota, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana and North and South Carolina. No opportunities now exist in Oregon, Nebraska, Iowa, Michigan and Maryland.
"Selection is an art form," O'Shea said. "You think you're replicating like gangbusters and you go to a place and it doesn't do sales. The bottom line is that you want to people where people are going to eat, so they don't have to look for you. Foot traffic and driving traffic are important. You have to be seen. If you're in a place that's hard to get to, chances are they won't find you in there."
A new marketing approach and a new concept to work side by side with HuHot are on the agenda for 2015, she said, as is the growth of the franchise roster at an annual rate of six to 10 locations.
"We don't have giant targets," O'Shea said.
"We want to keep the mindset that it's more important to do it well than to do it for the sake of doing it. We won't just do 20 stores per year if we don't think it's the right thing to do. We want to continue along our path and keep everyone happy and keep trying to do it the right way."

Impulse Dynamics Closes $60 Million Financing
by Impulse Dynamics | Jan 12, 2021 | News and Events, Press Releases | 0 comments
Funding to Accelerate Clinical and Product Development Pipelines, Commercialization of Optimizer Smart System for Heart Failure
MARLTON, N.J., January 12, 2021 — Impulse Dynamics, a company dedicated to helping healthcare providers improve the lives of people with heart failure, today announced the completion of a $60 million supplemental Series D crossover financing with new investors, anchored by CR-CCT Industry Pilot Fund together with Redmile Group and Perceptive Advisors. Proceeds of the financing will be used for general corporate purposes, including acceleration of clinical and product development activities along with continued U.S. commercialization of the Optimizer Smart, an FDA-approved implantable device for treating chronic heart failure that has been proven to strengthen the heart and help it beat more forcibly.
The transaction closed in late December. "We are extremely pleased to be adding these sophisticated investors to our robust existing group, all of whom recognize the significant potential of our breakthrough technologies for an immense group of patients with major unmet needs." said Gerry Haines, CFO of Impulse Dynamics. "With our mature product development pipeline and two additional breakthrough designations, it is exciting to see the potential for cardiac contractility modulation therapy to play an even larger role in improving the lives of patients who continue to suffer with this debilitating disease. We look forward to accelerating key development activities, designed to serve new and larger groups of patients in need, in parallel with the continuing expansion of our commercial operations."
Heart failure is a chronic and progressive condition affecting an estimated 26 million people worldwide, with nearly 6 million of those in the U.S. alone.1,2 For people living with the disease, the heart is not able to pump forcibly enough to meet the body's needs. Over time, this leads to symptoms including breathlessness and fatigue, making even simple, everyday activities challenging. For eligible patients, CCM® therapy with the Optimizer® Smart provides a new alternative to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life, bringing hope to millions.
The Optimizer® delivers CCM® therapy, the company's proprietary technology, to the heart through a device is similar in size to a pacemaker. It is implanted during a minimally invasive procedure while a patient is under light sedation and has been used to treat over 5,000 patients worldwide. It is currently available in the United States, Europe, China, Brazil, India and more than 40 other countries around the world.
CCM® therapy is the first approach of its kind designed to improve contraction of the heart, allowing more oxygen-rich blood to reach the body.3 CCM® therapy delivers precisely timed electrical pulses to the heart during the absolute refractory period of the beating cycle, just after the heart contracts. This breakthrough technology has the potential to improve the quality of life for patients who are no longer adequately responding to medications to manage their symptoms or slow the progression of their condition.3
About Impulse Dynamics
Impulse Dynamics is dedicated to helping healthcare providers enhance the lives of people with heart failure by transforming how the condition is treated. The company is focused on delivering its proprietary CCM therapy, which is delivered by the company's Optimizer device, the CE-marked, and FDA-approved treatment verified to improve the quality of life for heart failure patients. CCM therapy is a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment option for many heart failure patients who otherwise have few effective options available to them.1 To learn more, visit www.ImpulseDynamics.com, or follow the company on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook.

It's not immediately obvious — you have to go looking for it, or at the very least, be taking a flâneur-style stroll through the area. But subterranean arts hub Lower Stable Street is a crucial part of the creative and commercial regeneration of King's Cross.
Lower Stable Street is made up of the Victorian horse-stalls that run beneath Coal Drops Yard, and there is a sense in which the creative energy generated by its tenants will be bubbling up from this secret space into the huge, open areas above it. This defiantly human way of thinking is a remarkable approach to planning a massive, essentially commercial development; its singularity is entirely appropriate for such a storied part of London.
Maverick creative James Bowthorpe, together with the developers, were tasked with choosing the unusual, design-based businesses that operate on the street, based on the units that were originally designed by Heatherwick Studios. He's the editor-in-chief of Kiosk magazine, a chic KX-based publication inspired by Bowthorpe's love of Parisian side-streets — which, by pleasing coincidence, was the idea that drove Heatherwick's plan. Bowthorpe sees Lower Stable Street as a kind of layer between its neighbours, Central Saint Martins art school — famous for its spirit of experimentation — and the high-end retail spaces of Coal Drops Yard. A softly-spoken mover and shaker, Bowthorpe has an intriguing portfolio; besides overseeing a magazine, he's designed and built furniture, directed music videos, collaborated on art projects and even modelled in Japan. This gives him a unique insight into the workings of Lower Stable Street's tenants — each of whom operates an array of offshoot projects from their main business. Suffice to say, when it comes to meeting the tenants themselves, they're almost comically busy.
At the same time, Houseley always had a vision of a real-life physical space. Just as the magazine was set up as a way of moving publishing out of the digital world and onto the (beautiful) printed page, she wanted to push it further still into three dimensions. So, Modern Design Review began showing as a gallery, representing the designers featured on the pages of the magazine — and that's when Lower Stable Street got in touch. It was serendipitous timing. "I could see there'd be an opportunity to present more shows with real editorial substance, by creating a theme around the pieces we're presenting and bringing a story to the forefront," says Houseley.
The STORE unit on Lower Stable Street will feature young students' designs. This Christmas, look out for children's toys, the beautifully-crafted result of STORE workshops teaching kids about the history of toys — including critical aspects, such as gendered toys. Green will be in the space often, and is happy to talk about every aspect of the design and manufacture process. "It really is kind of incredible that it's all come about so quickly," he says.
Fleur Paterson, of I You All, agrees; the realisation of Lower Stable Street, from early discussions to its opening, has happened with remarkable swiftness. Indeed, talking with creatives like Paterson, there does seem to be a rightness to the way a company unfolds when its direction is clear and its integrity is intact. "When these opportunities are put in front of you, you have to take them if you can," she says.
I You All had worked extensively with Bowthorpe in designing Kiosk magazine, and in addition to creating their own dedicated space on Lower Stable Street, the duo have also designed three residency units and an events space on the street. Plus, they've partnered with Bowthorpe to design the Corner Shop (because even the most dedicated arts adventurer needs a snack) and on-site brewery House of Cans. "We're pretty busy down there at the moment," laughs Paterson.

As I am right now very much into reading everything I can about Class 40 boats and collecting my first experiences of sailing these fast racing yachts, like the Pogo 40 I am also open to other classes, as it is the case with the Open 60. Or the so-called IMOCA. These 60 feet thoroughbred racing yachts are around since the early Nineties and participate in the very big races like Route du Rhum, Fastnet or the Vendee Globe.
Lizzy Foreman making landfall in Guadeloupe after her MiniTransat 2015.
Lizzy: "A lot of research, design and development goes into the rigs: After all, it is the mast and standing rigging that suffers the most on ocean racing yachts, with breakages being the most common cause for retirement.
You have to love a 20 meter boat that you steer with a tiller.
most of te time they will steer by automatic. as far as boats up to 40 feet are concerned: i would prefer tiller all the time. more precise, more feedback from the flow of the water, faster to apply course corrections.
how it is feeling with a 60 feet boat: would love to check it by myself.
Smart interview, good job. We will hear again from the girl, seems determined like Ellen Mac Arthur as first impression.

3D modeling of giant megalodon shark reveals clues to the life of the super-predator that ruled the oceans 20 million years ago
Aug 20, 2022, 20:27 IST

Scientists have used fossils to understand the lives of ancient megalodon sharks.
They've discovered it weighed the same as ten elephants and could swim faster than the sharks we have today.
Scientists have used fossil evidence to understand better the lives of ancient megalodon sharks, which they have found could have consumed a killer whale-sized meal in just five bites.
The 3D models created for the study, published on Wednesday in the Science Advances journal, have found that the giant megalodon sharks measure 50 feet in total, roughly three times the size of the great white sharks we know today.
The sharks, alive roughly 23 million to 2.6 million years ago, would have weighed in at the equivalent of around ten elephants, or 70 tons.
As a result of this new research, they know the colossal fish swam faster than the sharks of today and would roam the oceans for months after feasting on ocean creatures using their teeth, each the size of a human fist.
Co-author of the study John Hutchinson, from the Royal Veterinary College in England, described the beast as a "super-predator," saying there is nothing really matching it," AP reports.
Catalina Pimiento, a paleontologist with the University of Zurich and Swansea University in Wales, told AP there were sparse resources to create the models because the megalodon did not fossilize well.
She said they had to use a rare collection of vertebrae at a Belgium museum since the 1860s.

which was written by the artist's sister.
but Keith Haring never stopped drawing!
He even invited friends over to draw together.
and spent his teen years in his room with music blaring while he drew on every piece of paper he could find.
After winning an art contest in high school, Haring gave the drawing away when asked how much he would charge for it.
In art school, Haring was inspired by new and popular ideas. The art school wasn't so pleased so he quit. Thus began his move away from traditional art and the ways of traditional artists.
Haring moved to NYC where the city became his canvas.
He first intrigued commuters in the subways where his distinctive chalk drawings would fill black chalkboards which usually held ads.
Later he often drew on the streets, sometimes cleaning up an area before painting his joyful figures. He accepted that his art would get washed away and he would get in trouble for graffiti.
But "he just kept drawing." His art became so recognizable and popular that an art gallery gave him the first of many exhibitions.
All his art sold. When interviewed, he said that he didn't really need the money and would be donating most of it to food organizations for hungry children.
Haring's work often celebrated children and families. Below you'll see how he invited 1000 children to help him create his 6 story long rendition of The Statue of Liberty on her 100th anniversary.
When he was asked to exhibit in international museums and galleries, he insisted there be a place where he could paint a mural for all to enjoy, not just those who could afford museums and art purchases.
Haring's sister relates the passion of her brother's vocation by saying "he would draw on anything, anytime, anywhere."
Hanna's Comments: The older children and teens in your faith family will relate to Keith Haring. His art is so accessible and yet he was a rebel of the art world. I believe it is important to give children & teens stories of those who tap into their gifts and explore their vocations as young people. It behooves us to help our children explore how their gifts, interests, and inclinations might bless the world. Haring is a wonderful example of knowing who you are meant to be and sharing your gifts for a better world. He seems to have been such a good human being who related to the world in ways that mostly celebrated being human.
Haring died of AIDS in 1990. His death is not mentioned in this book except in the back where you'll find a lot more info. about his childhood, details about the art in this book, and some fun photos.
There are a lot of interesting images and stories about Haring on the internet that you can use to bolster any program you want to do on him in your faith family. I was already a fan but there's a 30 minute video on Youtube that made me like him all the more. Here's a story about Haring's Statue of Liberty banner 20 years later.
Idea(s) for Application: Read this book to a group of teens who are beginning to explore how God's gifts of their talents, interests, and inclinations can be a blessings to the world.


On Tuesday, October 3rd, those running for Windsor's School Board trustees gathered at the Caribbean Centre to inform members of the community why we should vote for them. Those in attendance included two candidates from the Catholic School Board and six from the Public School Board.
All the Candidates from the Public school board were running for the first time, which created an even playing field at the event. Members from the audience brought up important questions such as bullying issues and how their children have been deterred from speaking their native language at school in the past. Incorporating more diverse reading options and including multicultural history lessons that reflect the diverse population in Canada was also a hot topic. Cathy Cooke, who is running for the Public School board highlighted that "we need to look at literature that meets the needs of the students", a sentiment that rang true with the audience. Sarah Cipkar, who has experience setting up pop-up book shops for newcomers to Canada, emphasized that there needs to be an open dialogue between those providing and those receiving, "we need to ask questions" to those who we are trying to help, to make sure we are meeting the needs of the community.
Another major issue was regarding the local clothing store, Freed's of Windsor, that currently has the monopoly on Catholic school uniforms. Parents felt this was a long overdue issue that needed to be addressed and were surprised when the only Candidate in attendance up for re-election in the Catholic School Board, Fulvio Valentinis, informed the crowd that this issue has never been brought up at the Trustee's meetings. School board trustees are advocates for the constituents they represent and encouraged the audience to get involved and also go through the proper channels, such as the Parents Council for their respective schools, when issues arise.
