Any corporate event or exhibition requires carefully selected flooring. Artificial grass can make a strong impact on your visitors eyes and feet, leaving them talking about your event for many weeks. To make an even stronger impression, our artificial turf is available in six colours. Natural green flooring is often used at environmental events but additional colours can be used to create lettering or designs for conveying your message.
If your corporate event needs outdoor flooring, artificial grass has many practical benefits. These include superior drainage, safety surfaces and a simple installation procedure. Should you require artificial grass flooring at your event for just a few days or weeks, a rental service is available. View our products menu to learn more about renting fake turf for your corporate event.
View our corporate events portfolio to see an impressive showcase of our artificial grass used for indoor and outdoor flooring. To summarise, we have layed lawns on Coronation Street; turfed out Newcastle train station; grassed up a Hollyoaks party and played indoor golf at Canon. You too can enjoy superior corporate event flooring with artificial turf; simply buy today via our online shop or call the office for a friendly discussion. Alternatively, read our garden blog to learn more about astro turf and outdoor flooring. Artificial grass will make your corporate event a day to remember!


Our team arrived to Motala from Helsinki, Tampere, Jönköping and Östersund offices. We had decided to sleep at the floor of local sports hall and early on Friday evening we went to sleep, because wakeup call was set to 2 AM Saturday morning. Our start time was 3:34 AM and goal was to ride 300km in less than 10 hours, with three quick service stops to fill up water bottles and energy reserves. At Vätternrundan you never have to ride alone, first riders start their journey Friday evening and every two minutes until Saturday morning new group starts. Spontaneous riding groups form quickly and when every rider takes their turn in the lead, average speed increases and kilometres disappear quickly.
First hundred kilometres from Motala to Jönköping go fast and we take stops at Ölmstad and Fagerhult, just grab something to eat and fill bottles. From Fagerhult starts nice flat high-speed segment through beautiful cities Hjo and Karlsborg to Boviken. Roads are in perfect condition and speed is high, we ride safely and enjoy the event.
From Boviken starts the route's most difficult section, we've already ridden 225km and road has now some small climbs that take their toll. Also from Askersund, when route turns back to south, we must together fight against headwind. Last 25 kilometres from Medevi back to Motala go through beautiful landscapes, hidden from the wind. Finally we cross the finish line 9h 13min after start, so our sub10h goal was easily reached. With just a bit shorter stops sub9h time would've been possible…maybe we try that next year?

Janet Yellen: Biden to pick 'first female treasury secretary'
By Candle Robert Li News
President-elect Joe Biden is expected to name Janet Yellen to lead the treasury department, US media report.
If confirmed by the Senate, she would be the first woman to hold the position in US history.
The 74-year-old economist previously served as head of America's central bank and as a top economics adviser to former President Bill Clinton.
She is credited with helping steer the economic recovery after the 2007 financial crisis and ensuing recession.
As chair of the US Federal Reserve, Ms Yellen was known for focusing more attention on the impact of the bank's policies on workers and the costs of America's rising inequality.
Donald Trump bucked Washington tradition when he opted not to appoint Ms Yellen to a second four-year term at the Fed. Starting with Bill Clinton in the 1990s, presidents kept on bank leaders appointed by their predecessors in an effort to de-politicise the bank.
Since leaving the bank in 2018, Ms Yellen has spoken out about climate change and the need for Washington to do more to shield the US economy from the impact of the coronavirus pandemic.
image captionMr Trump passed over Ms Yellen for a second Fed term, reportedly in part because he thought her roughly 5 foot height made her too short for the job
Who is Janet Yellen?
The daughter of a family doctor and an elementary school teacher, she grew up in New York City. She earned her degree in economics from Brown University, before going on to complete a PhD at Yale.
In addition to her work at the Fed and in government, she was a professor at University of California, Berkeley.
She is married to George Akerlof, a Nobel Prize-winning economist whom she met while working as a researcher at the Fed in the 1970s. They have one son, who is also an economics professor.
Profile: Janet Yellen
Her climb to the top of the economics profession also made her a feminist icon in the economics world.
When she left the Fed in 2018, many paid tribute to her leadership by imitating her signature look of a blazer with a popped collar.
How does she fit into the US political scene?
Ms Yellen has a long history of working in Washington. Before Mr Obama named her to lead the Fed in 2014, she had served as one of its board members for a decade, including four years as vice-chair.
At the Treasury, she would likely be charged with guiding the Biden administration's economic response to the pandemic, which has prompted the worst economic contraction the US has seen in decades and cast more than 10 million people out of work.
The office also oversees tax policy, public debt and international finance and sanctions.
Ms Yellen is seen as a pick able to satisfy both progressive and centrist members of Mr Biden's Democratic party. Her nomination to lead the Fed in 2014 won support from some Republicans.
"2 cheers for Janet Yellen at Treasury," liberal public policy professor and former Labor Secretary Robert Reich wrote on Twitter.
While she is not as left-wing as some of the names rumoured to be under consideration, such as Senator Elizabeth Warren, she still "understands the huge toll stagnant wages, systemic racism, and widening inequality have taken on our economy and society", he said.
Ms Warren also chimed in her congratulations, focusing on Ms Yellen's record as bank regulator. One of her final moves as Fed chair was issuing an order limiting Wells Fargo's ability to grow, in response to a fake accounts scandal at the bank.
"Janet Yellen would be an outstanding choice for Treasury Secretary," Ms Warren said. "She is smart, tough, and principled."
What does Wall Street think of her?
Ms Yellen's focus on employment, rather than inflation, gave her a reputation of favouring low interest rates, which spur economic activity by making it less expensive to borrow money.
But under her leadership, the Fed raised interest rates for the first time since 2008 – albeit less aggressively than some more conservative commentators supported.
Her stewardship of that process has won praise on Wall Street, even as it remains hotly debated.
On Monday, Gary Cohn, a former Goldman Sachs executive and economic advisor to Donald Trump, said Mr Biden had made an "excellent choice".
"Having had the opportunity to work with then-Chair Yellen, I have no doubt she will be the steady hand we need to promote an economy that works for everyone, especially during these difficult times. Congratulations," he wrote on Twitter.

LifeSource Vitamins-Organic Aloe Vera Juice - 32 fl. oz.
Read Below: Full Description, Clinical Studies & Research on Aloe Vera.
Aloe Vera has a long history as a safe and effective internal medicine and external skin care emollient. Among the different varieties of the Aloe plant, the Barbadensis Miller exhibits the most effective beneficial properties. Taken internally, Aloe Vera has been shown to have various beneficial effects on the body.
Relieve The Discomfort Caused By Ulcers, Colitis, Stomach Disorders & Arthritis.
Traditional methods of refining the Barbadensis Miller plant involve a hand filleting process to remove the gel from the leaf. The leaf is then discarded. Ironically, the largest concentration of the active ingredients, polysaccharides and mucopolysaccharide (Acemannan), are found just beneath the outer surface of the leaf (the rind), which can be bitter, indigestible, possibly abrasive and difficult to refine. This new whole leaf process is what we use at LifeSource for our Aloe Vera products which allows the cellulose to be dissolved, aloin and aloe emodin are removed. This total procedure is done entirely by a cold process and refining treatment. Maximum efficiency is thus assured, resulting in products rich in polysaccharides including mucopolysaccharides (Acemannan).
The International Aloe Science Council (IASC) proclaims that each 1x Aloe Vera product must contain between 1,000 - 1,200 MPS per liter of Aloe Vera activity. Our products with Whole Leaf Aloe Vera products adhere to or exceed this standard.
Cold Processed and Mucopolysaccharide Enhanced, "Acemannan", Contains NO ALOIN OR ALOE EMODIN, our Aloe Vera Juice Products are prepared by a new and revolutionary whole-leaf, cold process to assure maximum efficiency. Discover the benefits of this scientifically advanced whole-leaf Aloe for your nutritional needs.
Aloe vera contains antioxidant vitamins A, C, and E — plus vitamin B12, folic acid, and choline.
· It contains eight enzymes, including aliiase, alkaline phosphatase, amylase, bradykinase, carboxypeptidase, catalase, cellulase, lipase, and peroxidase.
· Minerals such as calcium, copper, selenium, chromium, manganese, magnesium, potassium, sodium and zinc are present in aloe vera.
· It provides 12 anthraquinones — or compounds known as laxatives. Among these are aloin and emodin, which act as analgesics, antibacterials, and antivirals.
· Four fatty acids are present, including cholesterol, campesterol, beta-sitosterol, and lupeol — all providing anti-inflammatory results.
· The hormones called auxins and gibberellins are present; they help with healing wounds and have anti-inflammatory properties.
Scientific research shows strong immunomodulatory and anti-tumor properties for aloe vera polysaccharides. That means the gel helps boosts immune system function while destroying cancer tumors. One study published in International Immunopharmacology (1995) showed that aloe vera polysaccharides exhibited potent macrophage-activating activities including producing increased volumes of nitric oxide (which has antitumor potential).
Aloe is one of the most widely-used ingredients in high-grade skin care products. There's a reason for that: its great medicine for the skin! Aloe soothes the skin, hydrates it, nourishes it and accelerates the regeneration of new skin tissue. (In fact, simply removing the gel from a living aloe vera leaf and placing the raw gel on your face is far superior to even the most expensive eye cream or skin care product on the market.) And while most people are only familiar with using aloe vera externally, aloe also enhances skin health when used internally. Drink more aloe and your skin glows!
Diabetic patients who take aloe vera for 3 months experience a significant drop in fasting blood sugar levels. They also exhibit lower cholesterol levels and slight improvements in total cholesterol. Numerous clinical studies have been published that demonstrate aloe vera's anti-diabetic properties.
When used internally, aloe vera gel improves the quality of the blood and helps re-balance the blood chemistry in a way that lowers cholesterol and total triglycerides (in people with elevated levels).
This is an especially interesting effect of aloe: It makes vitamin C, vitamin E, and other antioxidants work better! It actually potentiates antioxidants, probably due to its effect on enhancing blood quality and allowing the blood to more effectively transport oxygen and nutrients to the body's cells. In fact, it is my belief that aloe vera makes everything nutritious work better due to its blood-enhancing effects. If I'm right about that, it means aloe can potentiate anti-cancer herbs, too, helping them more effectively target tumors.
Aloe vera actually contains advanced biochemical technology that the drug companies can only help to understand someday. This technology was built by nature, and it's 100% compatible with the human body. All you have to do to experience this technology for yourself is to eat aloe vera gel!
Polysaccharides in the aloe vera plant have curative effects on numerous digestive disorders. The Internet is a storehouse of information and testimonials about aloe vera curing IBS, ulcers, Crohn's disease and other disorders of the digestive tract. This is one of the best-known applications of aloe vera gel.
There's research being done now on the anti-cancer effects of acemannan, a phytonutrient found in aloe vera. In one study, dogs and cats undergoing radiation for cancer were given acemannan as adjunctive therapy. Not only did the tumors shrink more in the acemannan-treated group, but post-treatment survival was significantly extended.
Survival in a rat model of lethal hemorrhagic shock is prolonged following resuscitation with a small volume of a solution containing a drag-reducing polymer derived from aloe vera.
Eight dogs and five cats with histopathologically confirmed fibrosarcomas were treated with Acemannan Immunostimulant in combination with surgery and radiation therapy. These animals had a recurring disease that had failed previous treatment, a poor prognosis for survival, or both. Following four to seven weekly acemannan treatments, tumor shrinkage occurred in four (greater than 50%; n = 2) of 12 animals, with tumors accessible to measurement. A notable increase in necrosis and inflammation was observed. Complete surgical excision was performed on all animals between the fourth and seventh week following initiation of acemannan therapy. Radiation therapy was instituted immediately after surgery. Acemannan treatments were continued monthly for one year. Seven of the 13 animals remain alive and tumor-free (range, 440+ to 603+ days) with a median survival time of 372 days. The data suggests that Acemannan Immunostimulant may be an effective adjunct to surgery and radiation therapy in the treatment of canine and feline fibrosarcomas.

Another YouTube video, that NEEDs to be watched. Well go on now... stop reading and watch.
In the qualifying of the 1989 24 of LeMans this Mercedes set the second fastest speed record down the Mulsanne with 248mph. It was the only car to get that speed and be reliable; reliable enough to win. It won every race except one in '89 and in my opinion was one of the last great Motorsport legends.


A consistent vision pervades the design endeavors of Philippe Apeloig. Over time, he as crafted a visual language strongly connected to rhythm, structure, pattern, space, and choreography, a language that invites us to wander through a thicket of letters, lines, and shapes that coalesce into something magical.
Apeloig's career began in 1985 when he designed the poster for the Musée d'Orsay's first exhibition, "Chicago, Birth of a Metropolis." He has since created many more seminal posters and his own typefaces, includes Octobre and Drop. This book, published to accompany a major exhibition at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs, Paris, surveys and explores the entirety of Apeloig's graphic design process and philosophy, reproducing posters, logos, visual identities, books, and animations, and analyzing the influences that fuel his work. It will be required reading for anyone concerned with the recent history of graphic design.
More than a collection of images…The section of sketches is what proves to be most illuminating; the stormy mind of Apeloig unfolds as he brainstorms and experiments on paper and in digital form.
Typorama could be required design history reading, but its real value lies in [the] examples of the creative process. Will the lessons be lost on today's designers, who work in a nanosecond, nanobyte world? Will they want to spend the time that the volume demands? One can only hope the answer is yes.
A typographic feast that showcases modern work, exploring his creative process along with his personal and artistic motivations.
Will become essential reading for anyone with an interest in the recent history of graphic design.
Tino Grass is a noted Swiss graphic designer.
Alice Morgaine is an Art Director at La Verrière-Hermès.
Ellen Lupton is curator of contemporary design at Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum in New York.

Movies that Changed the World
January 8, 2020 October 13, 2020 Record Head
Film is a powerful platform. This art form plays with our emotions, exposes us to new situations and can even change our perspective on the world around us.
Sometimes films don't need a huge budget to tell a story. Directors and filmmakers around the world can take an idea and bring it to life using a true story or theoretical framework. When consumers open their eyes to a new point of view, cultural movements alter how we think and feel about a given subject.
Following is Record Head's list of the top five films that changed the world.
1. Blackfish
"Blackfish" transformed the way humans view animal rights. This documentary was released in 2013 after the tragic incident of an orca attack at SeaWorld. Essentially, an orca was kept in a cramped tank where eventually the whale spiraled out of control and killed several of its trainers.
This film swam its way into millions of households after humans learned of the frequent mistreatment of marine animals within zoos and theme parks. SeaWorld was severely harmed by a rush of protesters, video shares and news stories online. Today, SeaWorld no longer offers live whale shows, and it ended its breeding program.
2. Super Size Me
"Super Size Me" portrays the story of Morgan Spurlock and his commitment to eat only McDonald's for one month. The nation experienced a huge change in opinion after seeing the negative health effects of the filmmaker. Viewers see Spurlock gain weight and experience depression along his journey.
McDonald's and competing fast food restaurants began to eliminate "super size" options as a response to the film. Consumers now look for healthier options on the menu, with additions such as salads, fruits and vegetarian options.
3. Bambi
Both children and adults love the story of Bambi. This 1942 cartoon tells the story of a baby fawn that loses its mother after she gets shot by a hunter. Even though this film is a cartoon, viewers get to see an adorable take on the wilderness, as the animals all have their own families.
"Bambi" touched the hearts of viewers, and hunters fell victim to the "Bambi effect." In other words, those who watched the movie typically view the outdoors differently. A number of hunters packed their rifles away for good in response to the movie.
4. The Day After Tomorrow
This 2004 big screen hit shows what a second ice age looks like in New York City. The film features a look at extreme weather effects across the globe. Although the movie is based on a fictional script, the result of the movie transformed the way Americans view the Earth. Concerns over global warming and pollution became the front of conversations in the media. A second ice age might be impossible, but "The Day After Tomorrow" got viewers thinking about what effects we have on our planet.
5. Philadelphia
"Philadelphia" tells the story of a gay man struggling with the onsite of HIV/AIDS. Even into the 1990s, the concept of this illness was encompassed by fear and controversy, as not everyone understood how it spread. Tom Hanks changed the conversation on this subject through his character portrayal of Andrew Beckett in "Philadelphia." Bringing the HIV/AIDS illness to the big screen resulted in empathy for those suffering and fewer feelings of homophobia across the country. This film marked the start of a change in attitudes for the gay community.

The Eternal Wheel
"I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones." ― Albert Einstein
Did you ever have an incident—or like in my case, a movie film—that happened way back in your early days, and in all these years, you're unable to completely erase it from your memory? Well, this film—and this was way back when black and white movies were still in vogue—left one of those indelible impressions on me. I forget most of the details, but I can't forget the theme of that movie! I'll call the movie, "The Revolution." The actual movie could have been produced under a different title, but that title, "The Revolution," certainly fit the theme I'm talking about, so I'll use it for my story. Also, as I already mentioned, I forget many details, so I'll use a lot of license in telling the story—not that it really matters, since it's all fiction anyway—or is it?
Although this same story has been told, and retold, many times throughout our history, I'll place my particular story in the meridian of our history—let's say, some time just after gunpowder, cannons, bombs, pistols and long guns had been invented. The world was once again in a chaotic, violent state, only this time, with the new invention of gunpowder, we were able to kill more people in just one big explosion, and we could now more easily tear flesh from bone than we could with the now outdated sword and spear.
As I said, this fabled country that I speak of, was once again bathed in hate and violence. Horrific wrongs were committed on both sides, when brother turned against brother, and revenge was touted as the only solution to this feud!
This all started when a certain political activist—let's call him, Adam Justica—decried the injustice that the reigning ruler was brutally imposing on the country's citizens. At first, his voice was almost alone: most people were to busy scraping together enough money to live on, let alone think about a revolution. But Adam Justica was persistent, and since he was charismatic and had a flare for creating rousing, dramatic speech—rabble rousing, some official government leaders would call it today—wherever he went in the land, he started gathering a following.
"Justice! Justice!" became the rallying mantra as hundreds, then thousands of chanting rebels—rabble? Said the government —took to the streets in protest against the injustices of the day.
At first, the then reigning ruler ignored the small, newly formed upstart group, hoping that, when they got hungry, they'd get tired of their protest marches and go back to their homes. But that wasn't about to happen!
Soon thousands turned into tens of thousands, finally causing more than a little concern for the reigning ruler, concerns that he could no longer ignore. In a public broadcast, the ruler pronounced the rebels as a rag-tag, illegal bunch of hoodlum outlaws and declared open warfare against them.
But victory—if it could even be considered possible by now—wouldn't be easy!
Adam Justica's protesters had grown into an impressive force, and he was quick to see an opportunity here and gain even more notoriety in his fight for justice. He promoted himself to General Adam Justica, armed and organized his rebel protesters with the latest weapons, then marched against the capital. Women and children—at least those who were still able to—fled the city in terror, fearing for their lives.
The battle that followed was fierce and ugly and lasted many days. Thousands on both sides of the camp were brutally slaughtered and by now, hardly a building was left unscarred, or not splattered with the blood of the combatants. Then, on the twelfth day of the battle, it was a smoke-filled morning, General Adam Justica emerged high above the noise and gunfire to plant firmly on the still smouldering debris of what was once the country's beautiful parliament buildings, to raise his own, newly designed flag and triumphantly shout,
"We have won! Victory is ours! Justice is ours!"
In the coming years the land settled back into a relative normal routine. Guns were turned back into the proverbial plow shears and the citizens became more preoccupied with every day affairs of love, marriage, and going on vacation then they were with justice. New, more modern buildings sprung up out of the heaps of rubble that had, prior to the revolution, been thriving cities, and the story of "The War to End All Wars" was soon downgraded to only stories told in school history books. New parliament buildings, whose structural beauty and design challenged the creativeness of the best architects in the land, were built over the old parliamentary ruins. The sun shone again, the birds sang, heaven seemed to have descended upon the earth!
Justice had been firmly established! The country was at peace!
Then one fateful day in the New People's Parliament—I believe it was the two hundred and tenth semi-annual session, one of the People's Representative stood up to address the Assembly.
"Esteemed People's Representatives," he began," many of my constituents have complained that much of their tax money from our area has been illegally removed from our coffers and is being used to pay off the debts and exorbitant living of a neighboring township. I believe that is the same township that you, General Justica, have your residence in. Could we, form a committee –"
"Silence!" General Adam Justica sprang to his feet and in a great, dramatic show of indignation, drew his pistol and shot the offending Representative. "Enough!" he shouted. We'll have no talk of government unfairness ruining the image of our hard-won battle for justice!" the General fairly screamed his outrage at the remaining People's Representatives who shrank low into their plush seats, fearing one of them might be targeted next. "Have you forgotten how many of our beloved comrades died and sacrificed much in our fight for justice for all? I'll have no disgruntled upstart dare to stand and question these rules of justice for all!" He turned his glare onto the limp, dead body of the Representative. "You are a traitor to your country!"
The sound of the general's gunshots quickly—ever so decisively—vibrated throughout the land, finally settling in on an old, giant, rotting wooden wheel that lay nearly buried in the murky, stinky mire of the cold, sinister depths of a haunted bog near the edge of the country, a bog so disgusting to human consciousness that no sane citizen of the land wanted to talk about.
If one squinted and looked carefully, the single word, "JUSTICE," had been carved into its rim by some ancient general whose name was now long forgotten, but could still be seen through the wisps of steam rising off the bog.
At first, upon hearing the gunshot, the rotting wheel just gave an almost imperceptible shiver of protest, even a faint whimper could be heard. After several years of anticipated peace, the wheel hoped—oh God, how it hoped—that it could finally rest forever—maybe even die and have its morbid history erased for ever from the consciousness of creation. But that was not its lot! Forced by the laws of an ancient curse placed on it during another civilization's time, or by gods and generals whose names are now forgotten, it painfully rose out of the steaming, dank bog and started—once again—its relentless roll across the land.
"Justice! Justice! Justice!" it chanted at every agonizing completion of a role!
Will humanity ever find peace and real justice through violent protest? In fact, do we even have an alternative to violence, or are we, ourselves The Wheel I speak of; burdened with an ancient curse placed upon us by some higher, evil force; doomed to cycle forever through times of war, then, out of sheer, sadistic mockery, offered a brief moment of peace only to rise again and make war?
Our Holy Books tell us there is hope. They remind us constantly that we are more! That we're made of star dust; of royal lineage—the same lineage that the gods and the universe itself is made of. So why do we seem so incapable of shrugging off that evil curse and live like the gods themselves live; in peace, self-empowerment and true justice?
Remember … remember who we really are, and abandon the ancient curse of The Wheel!

Coronavirus impact: Organic food companies see surge in online sales
Annapurani V Chennai | Updated on March 24, 2020 Published on March 24, 2020
Customers click on seeds and herbs; amla, turmeric and ginger-based products favoured
After hand-sanitisers and face masks, organic food products seem to be flying off the shelves. The outbreak of Covid-19 is making consumers pay attention to what they eat.
Nourish Organics, a company that sells organic, gluten-free and vegan food items, among others, saw its online sales increase about 30 per cent over the last month. The founder, Seema Jindal Jajodia, attributes most of this surge to the pandemic.
"Our breakfast cereals as well as bars have seen a surge in demand as people have stopped eating from restaurants due to the health scare," Jajodia said
Hemp Horizons, a company that specialises in and sells sativa (hemp) products, also saw a 25 per cent increase in sales over the past couple of weeks. Rohit Shah, its CEO and co-founder, said consumers are leaning towards daily sativa nutritional products, namely Sativa Hemp Nubs, Sativa Hemp Powder and Sativa Hemp Oil.
Shah credits the surge in online sales to two reasons. "One, our regular customers are stocking up on their daily sativa nutrition. Two, we have seen a lot of first-time customers purchasing online," he said, adding that they have seen an increase in queries and visitors on their website.
Greenobazaar, an online retailer of organic products including breakfast cereals, pulses, spices, seeds and herbs, also saw a 10 per cent increase in sales over the past couple of weeks. But this surge is from its regular customers who have been ordering more, said Rajan Patel, the company's founder and CEO. The shift to organic products takes time because prices here are comparatively higher, he added.
This increase in demand for these companies is mostly from metropolitan and tier-1 cities. Data from Statista, an online statistics portal, shows that, based on a survey taken last year, just about 33 per cent of the population in India buys organic food often. Which is why, perhaps, the investment scenario in this space has been dismal. Data from Tracxn, a firm that tracks investments and financials of start-ups and private companies, shows that the funding that went into the organic food-tech sector in 2018 — $52.59 million — was the highest in the last 10 years, which then dropped to a mere $1.05 million last year.
Due to the increased awareness among people to eat healthy, these companies are now upping the ante and re-launching existing products — case in point, the "Immunity Booster Bundle" by Nourish Organics, which includes amla bars, ginger oats cookies, and chia turmeric cookies. Hemp Horizons, on the other hand, has rolled out subscription plans on its platform that allow customers to create custom orders and get them delivered on designated dates.
But with the virus on the prowl, there is bound to be mayhem around. Specifically, because it is proved to spread through human contact. So companies are now ensuring minimum human handling and contactless delivery services. The current situation, if not abated, could make things worse for these firms. The restriction in movement, lockdown in various States and decline in manpower might make it difficult for them to keep the production and delivery going.
The number of delivery vehicles is going down due to drivers taking off and the delivery is getting delayed, said Shah. "We are also advising our workers to take paid leave if needed. Also, various cities and districts are in lockdown. This will impact our production logistics and supply of materials," he added.

Recently I've set up two Linux based development machines. Since my main programming language is Python I wanted to install the PyCharm Professional IDE from JetBrains. However this appeared to be more difficult than expected since the install instructions are in a descriptive writing style. Here is a more to the point alternative which should help to get everything up and running in a few minutes.
To install PyCharm 4 on Ubuntu you first need to install Java. I personally prefer to stick to the Oracle version instead of the openjdk version.
Now it's time to install PyCharm. Currently 4.0.2 is the most recent version. You can update the script to download a newer PyCharm version if available. The most recent version of PyCharm can be found on this page.
After launching PyCharm and registering your license key you need to go to Tools → Create Desktop Entry to add a icon to the Unity Launcher.


"There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics" –attributed to the 19th-century British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli.
From the results of a NAR members survey: "For all Realtors in 2010, the typical brokerage specialist completed eight transaction sides or commercial deals. Eight percent did not complete a single transaction in 2010, down from 12 percent in both 2009 and 2008. Median gross income among sales agents was a mere $24,900." However, this report was completed with fewer than 9,000 survey results.
At the end of April 2011, NAR reported it had 1.01 million members (that figure does not include all the agents who operate as non-Realtor agents and brokers). Including those could bring the figure up nearer the 2 million mark.
NAR's revised home sales figure for 2011 was 4.96 million. Fannie Mae's number was 4.93 million. Both these figures were for existing homes, not new construction.
Assuming some 15 percent of sales were a combo of FSBOs (or other sales including interspousal transfers), that's approximately 4.2 million sales among close to 2 million agents.
An average of "two and a bit" sales per agent. Hundreds of thousands of real estate agents are earning less than a Wal-Mart cashier or worse — no income at all. Not pretty, is it?
You don't necessarily have to aspire to be one of the elite 10 percent of agents who dominate the market. You just need to know what works, have a realistic plan and execute with conviction and energy!
1. Know your niche market.
4. Say what you mean and mean what you say.
5. Always have your client's best interests at heart.
Some of you are going to say, "Hey, the first three look too much like hard work." Well, frankly, in the early stages it will be.
Getting up to speed is the price to be paid for long-term success. Once you have the knowledge and expertise, the energy to maintain that plateau is the easy part.
In my humble opinion, median and average prices are the biggest red herrings in the business.
Median price indicates that one-half is higher and one-half lower. For instance, the median price of 31 sold homes would be the price that is lower than 15 of the prices and also higher than 15 of them.
When tracking median prices over a period of time, the figure can be badly skewed if, for instance, the luxury market collapses, as has been the case in most markets across the U.S.
The absorption rate is a much-improved indicator of market swings. It's a formula that takes the number of weeks it takes to sell the current inventory at the present rate of sales.
To calculate Absorbsion Rate you need to know how many listings are currently on the market, plus how many listings sold last month.
You must count under-contract or pendings as listings, since they have not actually closed – not SOLD yet.
Multiply the number of homes actually solds last month by 12 (months).
Then divide by the current listings. That equals the number of units that would sell each week.
Finally divide the # of units (that should sell each week) into the number available = absorption rate.
Where is all your data?
In many areas, your local MLS will offer only one solution for MLS data and a separate one for tax data.
To fulfill your fiduciary duty to present your client with all the facts, you may have to do the blending yourself. How you do this could very well differentiate you from your competition.
Most MLS systems today make it easy to keep abreast of recent listing activity, with reports showing expirations, new, withdrawn, under contract, sold listings, as well as price changes. You must be watching these reports on a daily basis.
A properly prepared comparative market analysis, or CMA, will allow you the opportunity to make adjustments to the properties that you are comparing your potential listing against.
Completing your CMAs will be much easier if you put the work into creating your sales and inventory wall map as recommended in one of my recent articles: Do your homework and research your market!
If you created your wall map properly, it will be easier to spot trends and to work out the difference in value between homes in a subdivision or neighborhood.
Or even between different locations in town. A similar house on the other side of town might sell for 10 percent more than your target property, for instance.
You could also more easily work out the value that buyers place on the same-floor-plan home being in a cul-de-sac rather than on a busier through road.
Or the difference in value between, say, a full-on ocean view and no view at all.
Winning over the buyers too!
Knowing these ratios is invaluable when you are in the car with that out-of-town buyer who is not sure yet if he wants you to represent him.
Who do you think they might choose if you demonstrate that you know what you are talking about as you cruise through the neighborhoods pointing out comparables and trends along the way?
Once you have your brain stuffed with all this relative data it's time to use it to attract new clients, and one of the best places to do that is on the Internet.
Using WordPress, you can easily create sites where you can share your knowledge. Adding a splattering of IDX listing displays and creating neighborhood, subdivision and town/city guides with information that potential buyers are seeking is not difficult if you know where to look for relevant data.
City-Data has all the demographics and statistics you can handle.
Altos Research is worth a mention for the dynamic data trend graphs that you can incorporate into your site.
A new way of showing your expertise in an attractive graphical way is a new app called Nudge that you can embed in a blog post. Find out more here.
Sold statistics are always sought after by both buyers and sellers, so why not offer downloadable PDF reports in exchange for contact info?
You may also expand this offering to include the statistics gleaned from your studies of your niche market.
Follow these simple guidelines and I guarantee you will be surprised at just how quickly you can achieve success.

En astrogeologia, catena (plural catenae, abr. CA) és una paraula llatina que significa «cadena» que la Unió Astronòmica Internacional (UAI) utilitza per indicar un tipus de tret superficial planetari consistent en una cadena aproximadament lineal de cràters. No correspon necessàriament a una formació geològica concreta, ja que a vegades correspon només a trets d'albedo purament visuals, però s'utilitza sovint en la topografia planetària. Alguns exemples són Alba Catena (a Mart) o Gipul Catena (a Cal·listo).

És un terme regulat per la Unió Astronòmica Internacional que en alguns casos assigna els noms de noves catenae en funció de les següents categories:
 A Ió: déus solars (ex.: Reshet Catena, a partir del déu del Sol aramaic). En general s'han reanomenat a patera.
 A Ganimedes: déus i herois del creixent fèrtil (ex.: Nanshe Catena, a partir de la deessa de les fonts i els canals, filla d'Enki).
 A Cal·listo: rius i valls de la mitologia nòrdica (ex.: Sid Catena, a partir d'un riu nòrdic).

Tom Hardy Cast in Movie Adaptation of 'Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell' Videogame
From now on, the part of "lethal killing machine" should automatically go to Tom Hardy. The Dark Knight Rises star has just been cast as lethal covert operative Sam Fisher in the movie adaptation of the hot-selling videogame series Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell, Deadline reports.
The project still hasn't landed a studio, though Warner Bros. and Paramount have been rumored to be interested. But it does have a writer, Eric Warren Singer, who cut his thriller chops by previously penning Tom Tykwer's The International.
Hardy, who broke Batman's spine as Bane in The Dark Knight Rises and played other, slightly less menacing, slightly more intelligible badasses in Warrior and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy—and is set to inherit Mel Gibson's Road Warrior mantle in George Miller's Mad Max: Fury Road—will play Splinter Cell's pivotal central character, Sam Fisher. Fisher is a black ops heavyweight who takes on covert globe-trotting missions to battle rogue Chinese generals and Canadian cyberterrorists and investigate assassinations in places like Georgia and Azerbaijan. Much like Clancy's best known character Jack Ryan, Fisher's combination of brains and brawn is catnip for any actor looking to headline his own action-adventure franchise. So far 23 million copies of six separate Splinter Cell games have sold since the series began in 2002.
This is another bit of big news for Ubisoft, the French company that produces the Splinter Cell videogames, following their announcement that they've partnered with New Regency to turn their other big title, Assassin's Creed, into a movie starring Michael Fassbender.
With big guns like Fassbender and Hardy attached to game-derived flicks, it's looking more and more like videogames could become Hollywood's next go-to storytelling well, much like a decade ago when Sony, Fox, and Warner Bros., among other studios, began in earnest to tap comic books for cinematic inspiration. As long as these movies don't turn out like Max Payne and Doom.
Excited for the news about Hardy being Sam Fisher? And which movie adaptation are you more excited for: Splinter Cell or Assassin's Creed?

Q: Javascript convert a list of string coords into two float lists of Lat/Lng coords? This is what i currently have:
var coords1 = ["52.535614,-7.285257", "52.571321,-1.585436", "53.535614,-2.285257"];

This is my aim:
lat1 = [52.535614, 52.571321, 53.535614]
lng1 = [-7.285257, -1.585436, -2.285257]

I know how to do it individually:
a = coords1[0]
b = a.split(',');
c = b[0];
d = b[1];

e = Number(c);
f = Number(d);
>> 52.535614
>> -7.285257

I could append these to individual lists, but i'm assuming this isn't a very efficient way, and was wondering how to do this with an almost infinite coords list.

A: You could split and map numbers and push to the related arrays.

var coords = ["52.535614,-7.285257", "52.571321,-1.585436", "53.535614,-2.285257"],
    lat = [],
    lng = [];

coords.forEach(s => s
    .split(',')
    .map(Number)
    .forEach((v, i) => [lat, lng][i].push(v))
);

console.log(lat);
console.log(lng);

A: You can do it with only one loop. For this way you need use reduce, rest and slice

const coords1 = ["52.535614,-7.285257", "52.571321,-1.585436", "53.535614,-2.285257"];

const [firstCoord, secondCoord] = coords1.reduce((acc, rec) => {  // use rest parametr
  const comma = rec.indexOf(',') // find index of comma
  return [
  ...acc, // copy accamulator of reduce
    acc[0].push(rec.slice(0, comma)), // get first part of string
    acc[1].push(rec.slice(comma + 1, rec.length)) // get second part of string
  ]
}, [[], []]) // special initial value

console.log(firstCoord)
console.log(secondCoord)

About Lilli Lehmann
German singer Lilli Lehmann was regarded by many critics and opera mavens as the greatest soprano of her day, not least because of her command of an unbelievably wide range of roles -- 170! She started her career as a coloratura soprano, but gradually took on dramatic roles of heavier character, especially in Wagner's operas. The power, steadiness, and versatility of her voice were given many testimonials by critics from both the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. But what may be most astonishing about her career was that while Lehmann was in semi-retirement after 1900, she sang in concerts until 1920 (when she was 71 years old), generally still garnering critical acclaim.
Lehmann was born in Würzburg, Germany, on November 24, 1848. Raised in Prague, she was given vocal lessons by her mother Marie Loewe, a respected professional singer in her own right and a harpist as well. Young Lilli was regarded as a less promising talent than her sister Marie, who would also become a successful, though less-renowned soprano.
In 1865 Lehmann made her debut in Prague portraying the First Boy in Mozart's Die Zauberflöte. Soon, however, she graduated to the role of Pamina, and then quickly ascended to the highest circles of the operatic stage, appearing at the Berlin Hofoper (1869), Bayreuth (1876), London (1880), Vienna (1882), and at New York's Metropolitan Opera in 1885, where she was signed on as a member of the company.
There she impressed critics and audiences with a clutch of varied roles, but especially with her Wagner: she appeared in the New York premiere of Tristan und Isolde (1886) and later in the first American Ring cycle (1889). From 1890 to 1900 Lehmann was in her prime, dazzling audiences not only at the Met, but in Berlin, Bayreuth, and Covent Garden, where she appeared in 1899 in Wagner (Isolde, Sieglinde), Mozart (Donna Anna), and Bellini (Norma).
While she still appeared in certain operatic roles and on the concert stage after 1900, her appearances became increasingly infrequent. She helped create Mozart festivals in Salzburg beginning in 1906. That same year -- at the age of 58 -- she made her first recordings, and after 1907 made no more. Her recordings have been highly praised and are still available from a variety of sources today, including the English label Nimbus. Lehmann completely retired from all performance activity in 1920.

This year, I was fortunate enough to be invited to the South London Warlord's wargaming show Salute, held at the ExCel centre in London. I was given press tickets and it was the first time I have ever been to the show. Here is a full video of the games on display, I tried to get everything in, but missed quite a lot as there was a lot of stuff there! Apologies if your game doesn't feature! I had a fantastic time and my thanks go to Iain Fuller and Matt Still for organising the tickets for me! Hopefully this won't be my only visit!
Great Salute video, thanks for sharing it.
Cheers buddy! I am glad you liked it!
Excellent video and a great day. Still feeling it mind you...I hate getting old!
Cheers buddy! It was really enjoyable, but I was knackered by the end of it! Thank god for the two hour sit down on the train home!

Q: Reachwater Rock door problems? I must have encountered a glitch in Skyrim. I have been following the Forbidden Legend quest so far, got the Emerald Dragon Claw, put in the right combo and turned the claw but the door in Reachwater Rock won't open. How can I get the door to open?

A: If you've tried everything legitimate, you can try to use the console to get through the door:
Open console (press the key under the escape key)
Doubleclick somewhere (just for total security)
Type in "tcl" and press enter and exit the console
"Fly" through the door
Open the console, type in "tcl" and press enter

You can also try "opening" (more like destroying) the door by opening the console, clicking on the door and typing "disable" into the console. I'm not sure if the "disable" command is in Skyrim
Unfortunately, this won't work on a console.

The 5 Best Middle Grade Book Subscriptions
Sarah S. Davis 10-28-19
Middle grade book subscriptions are an excellent way to help children learn to love reading. These services make literacy an event to look forward to, a fun experience that reinforces literacy how reading can be exciting. As a librarian and writer of children's literature, I know especially how hard it can be for parents and adults to find books that fit in the elusive category of "middle grade." Having experts pick age-appropriate books for readers is one advantage of signing up for a book subscription for middle grade. Let kid lit professionals take the guessing game out of book selection.
We here at Book Riot are definitely fans of book box subscriptions—here are 50 of our favorites. (If you're looking for the best YA book boxes, we have that, too.) In this article, find the five Book Riot–approved best book subscriptions for middle graders. Each of these unique subscriptions have different strengths, from personalized suggestions to fun themes and convenient options. With the push for more diverse books in children's literature, we made sure to evaluate how each box company values diversity (or not). Here you'll find all the details you need on five popular middle grade book subscriptions.
Ages: Bookroo offers boxes for children ages 0–10. Their middle grade option (called the "Chapter Book Club") is aimed towards readers aged 7–10.
Frequency and Price: Bookroo Chapter Book Club Boxes ship every month, though you have the option to switch to every other month when you choose your plan. Bookroo customers can purchase the Chapter Book Club in bulk to save money in sets of 12 boxes prepaid ($21.95 per box); 6 boxes prepaid ($22.95 per box); or 3 boxes prepaid ($23.95 per box). Customers can also choose to buy their box month-to-month for $24.95 per box). Bookroo reports that the books you get are are up to 54% cheaper than buying at retail price.
Shipping: Chapter Book Club boxes ship for $4.99 in the United States and $16 to Canadian customers.
What's Inside: Each Chapter Book Club contains 2 chapter books. Bookroo focuses on choosing books that are under the radar and less well known, as well as classics. Kids get one "hidden gem" and one classic pick in their box.
How Books Are Selected: Bookroo's rigorous selection process is notable. According to Bookroo, each book is rated on a seven point scale by panel of 12 families who attend Stanford University, plus their 22 combined kids. Bookroo also consults with librarians. Each book is accompanied by a note that explains why the Bookroo team loved it.
You can peek inside recent Chapter Book Boxes on Bookroo. Watch one mom's review of a Chapter Book Box on YouTube:
Diversity: From the range of books in Bookroo boxes listed on their site, it seems like diversity is definitely a priority, with several diverse authors and illustrators featured, as well as many female authors.
Terms and Conditions: For more information about Bookroo boxes, check out their FAQ.
Ages: OwlCrate Jr is designed for children aged 8–12 who are reading at the middle grade level.
Frequency and Price: Readers can purchase a month-to-month subscription for $27.99, a 3 month prepay for $80.97, or a 6 month prepay for $155.94.
Shipping: Shipping per box is calculated at $7.99 for U.S. customers, $9.99 (plus tax) for Canadian subscribers, and $19.99 for worldwide readers.
What's Inside: One thing that's nice about OwlCrate Jr is each month has a theme, like Robots, Legends of the Deep, Time Travel, and Rebels and Rule Breakers . Readers get one new middle grade novel (which is sometimes signed), some "goodies" chosen by the book's author, and 3–5 items related to the month's theme and reinforce OwlCrate Jr's focus on "curiosity, creativity, and imagination."
For example, here's the September 2019 OwlCrate Jr box:
Something that sets OwlCrate Jr apart from other box services is their extensive list of previous boxes. Instead of guessing what's in each month or trying to sift through user reviews and Instagram posts, parents can see the creative and fun boxes from earlier months.
How Books Are Selected: It's unclear how books are chosen for the OwlCrate Jr box, but one imagines it is close to the selection process for the YA-themed OwlCrate explained in the "How It Works" part of their site. OwlCrate and OwlCrate Jr both focus on new and forthcoming books and read manuscript well ahead of publication to pick books that bound to be hits.
Diversity: OwlCrate Jr features some books by diverse authors and illustrators, like The Twelve by Cindy Lin and Aru Shah and the End of Time by Roshani Chokshi, but there is still room for improvement. Hopefully they will be incorporating more diverse books into their future boxes.
Terms and Conditions: For more information on OwlCrate Jr, check out their FAQ.
Prime Book Box
Ages: Prime Book Box options include Baby–2, 3–5, younger middle grade (6–8) and older middle grade (9–12).
Frequency and Price: All Prime Book Boxes are $19.99, with the first box priced at $16.99. Amazon claims that Book Box subscribers receive their books at 35% off the list price. You can choose to have a box come every 1, 2, or 3 months. Parents can choose to skip a month and can cancel at any time.
Shipping: Your first Prime Book Box is sent with 2-day shipping. In future orders, parents get an email with what has been chosen for next month. They have five days to accept the selections or choose alternate books. The box is then delivered 5–10 days later. All Prime Book Boxes have free shipping. Amazon prioritizes convenience, and if you already have an Amazon account, the Prime Book Box is easy to set up and manage.
What's Inside: Kids get two hardcover books inside Amazon's Prime Book Box for younger readers (ages 6–8) and older middle grade ages (ages 9–12). While that's less than other book boxes that offer extra goodies, Prime Book Box is pretty affordable.
How Books are Selected: When parents sign up, Amazon presents them with two choices curated by Amazon editors that fit with the child's age group. Parents have the option to accept the choices or swap in other books. It seems Prime Book Box has already started to gain a following, as one satisfied parent writes on Business Insider.
Diversity: Happy parents and bookish kids on Instagram have showed off their middle grade Prime Book Box, featuring diverse books like Love Like Sky by Lamar Giles, Love Like Sky by Leslie C. Youngblood, and Dragon Pearl by Yoon Ha Lee. Amazon seems to be making an effort to include diverse voices.
Terms and Conditions: Find more information on terms and conditions for Amazon Prime Book Box here. And learn more about the service on Amazon.
Ages: Reading Bug Box offers book box subscriptions for several ages, but middle grade children will want the Reader box designed for 8–13 year olds.
Frequency and Price: Parents can choose to pay month-to-month for $29.99 or select a 6-month prepay ($28.50 per month) or 12-month prepay ($27.00). Boxes ship each month, and customers can skip a month.
Shipping: Shipping prices seem to be customized to each address. When I filled out a sample order, my shipping was quoted at $3.50/box to send from California to Pennsylvania.
What's Inside: Reading Bug Boxes are totally unique, as the expert bookseller selects books specifically tailored to your young reader. You won't find impersonal picks, but rather a customized box. Also included are a personalized note and a few gifts and extras that go with a theme. Note that parents can choose to have one box that combines several young readers.
How Books Are Selected: If you're looking for a middle grade book box curated by kid lit experts, look no further. Reading Bug Box is actually a service offered by The Reading Bug, a family-owned, indie children's bookstore founded in 2008 in San Carlos, California.
Diversity: Since each box is unique, it's not easy to find out how diverse the selections are. However, The Reading Bug's website, and its listing of upcoming author and illustrator visits, reflects a dedication to promoting diversity. Customers can definitely request diverse picks when filling out their intro survey and through contact with The Reading Bug booksellers.
Terms and Conditions: Find out more details about Reading Bug Box on their FAQ section.
SpearCraft Book Box
Ages: SpearCraft's flagship product are YA boxes. In 2019, they began to regularly create Middle Grade Boxes for ages 8–13.
Frequency and Price: Customers can purchase boxes a la carte or subscribe to the service for monthly or quarterly boxes. Subscription boxes for the Middle Grade Box can be purchased for 3-month prepay ($76.50), 6-month prepay ($148.50), 12-month prepay ($290.00), or month-to-month for $27.00, plus shipping. Monthly subscribers have the option to skip a month. Because SpearCraft Box is such a popular subscription box, sometime subscriptions for the month sell out. You can buy previous boxes from the site while supplies last. Judging by past boxes, the contents retail for approximately double what the subscription costs.
Shipping: Varies by location.
What's Inside: Each SpearCraft Middle Grade Book Box contains at least one book, with a focus on new releases, often accompanied by a note from the author, as well as several goodies that go along with the box's theme. These items are often made in house. Customers do have the option to choose a books only edition.
How Books Are Selected: SpearCraft focuses on new releases from major publishers and authors. In this July 2019 Middle Grade Book Box from SpearCraft, items are themed around monsters.
The July 2019 SpearCraft Middle Grade Book Box
Often books are themed to something seasonal, like spooky stories for October. For instance, in the October 2019 box, middle grade readers could expect scary books to tie in with Halloween, like City of Ghosts by Victoria Schwab.
Diversity: The Middle Grade SpearCraft Box is relatively new, but one hopes SpearCraft will build on their diverse picks in the YA box, which has featured books by authors such as Once & Future by Cori McCarthy and Amy Rose Capetta, The Tiger at Midnight by Swati Teerdhala, and Enchantée by Gita Trelease.
Terms and Conditions: For the full rundown on SpearCraft Box, be sure to review their extensive FAQ.

Now That's What I Call Pelicula!
For years now, thanks to the tirelessly terrible efforts of Friedberg & Seltzer and various and sundry Wayans, America has had the monopoly on Pop Culture Reference Loops Filled With Groans, or "spoof movies." Obviously, this was very selfish of us. Why should America keep Friedberg & Seltzer's patented fart-writing technology to itself? We should share it with the rest of the world. We should help the rest of the world to groan in their own languages!
Apparently, the great humanitarians at Fox thought so as well, which is why they opened La Universidad De Escribar-Pfffft late last year in Madrid. La Universidad wasn't an actual university, just a table in the corner of the cafe in the basement of the El Corte Ingles department store, but the lesson taught there (and there was only one lesson) was a valuable one: "Smoosh together a bunch of lazy pop culture and movie references. These are jokes. Now you have a movie. Go sell it."
The Others? Abre Los Ojos? Looks like Spanish Movie isn't even trying to be timely with their references, which is actually sort of a wise move since the second these spoof movies hit theaters they're already covered in mold. Also, it allows them to go for their hilarious ending: Paulina Rubio, Javier Bardem in No Country For Old Men, Penelope Cruz in Volver, Tomas the bag-headed boy from El Orphanato, and the faun from Pan's Labyrinth all crouch on the floor of the living room together, mysteriously unable to leave the house after a dinner party. Then they all do the Macarena. And someone farts. Good times!

Decarbonise your business with our carbon free Blue Ammonia today!
Pre-order Blue Ammonia
We work hard to be the Blue Ammonia cost leader so that you can be a cost winner in the low carbon economy.
Our Blue Ammonia is completely cleaned by environmentally friendly carbon capture technologies that goes hand in hand with the local community and wild life.
"Did you know? Blue Ammonia contains 17.65 wt% hydrogen, and is the most effective, non-carbon based, commercially available hydrogen carrier."
The global hydrogen highway!
Clean hydrogen is key to a sustainable energy future. Transporting hydrogen safely and effectively will be an important part of our society, and will require new infrastructure.
As such, in the future hydrogen society the different regions around the world will be populated with hydrogen grids transporting hydrogen to the end users when needed. There will be small–scale hydrogen production sites connected to the hydrogen grids, and there will be large–scale hydrogen production sites where clean hydrogen is upgraded to ammonia, packing the hydrogen molecules in the best known hydrogen carrier around.
Ammonia is easy to transport in large quantities and exist in liquid phase at atmospheric pressure and -33 degrees Celsius or at room temperature and 10 barg pressure. Hydrogen is more expensive and less effective to transport directly, being in liquid phase at atmospheric pressure and about -250 degrees Celsius. Hence, ammonia is the simplest and most effective medium for the transport of clean hydrogen.
There already exist a fleet of vessels transporting 20 million tonnes of ammonia around the globe annually. Building upon the existing fleet and the ammonia infrastructure, ammonia can become the global hydrogen highway. Ammonia can be cracked back to hydrogen at the destination, and the hydrogen can be injected into the regional grid. Or the ammonia can be used directly for electricity production or serve as a central energy storage for the hydrogen grid, providing a solid back-up during low wind periods or during the darker wintertime. From such a storage ammonia may either be cracked into hydrogen or used directly as fuel. In one cubic meter of clean ammonia there is 4.02 MWh of carbon-free energy (LHV), which is more than 70% more energy than that of liquid hydrogen making such ammonia a true highway for the hydrogen future.

Mrs. Louise Khurshid
Our Indian standard of education is excellent. Our students are amongst the best in the world. They score high on marks – to the extent of securing even 100% in English! But can we truly say that our children are well rounded? Not just masters of marks but also fluent in languages, communication and general knowledge? Have they developed a team spirit and qualities of leadership – which participation in sports ensures? Do they see beyond the confines of their school and home to recognize in equalities around which participation in social work can help develop? They may be top of the heap in securing marks but can they hold their own in public debates or present themselves admirably in an interview which participation in debates and elocution and drama ensures. There is so much of the past that was character forming which our schools have discarded or forgotten in the pursuit of High Grades. Institutions like National Cadet Corps and Scouts and Guides; Institutions like the Social Service League; the Arts, Crafts, Culture and Philosophies of our country that our children are unfamiliar with; the history which is crumbling around us and our children don't even know what they are losing; all this and more has a lot to offer and must be gathered with care before it is all scattered in the vicissitudes of time. The DELHI PUBLIC WORLD FOUNDATION, a Dipsites Pedagogy System and Knowledge Initiative pioneered by a group of graduates from the Delhi Public Schools who have since made a mark in the world, seeks to take education to a higher level. Not just rote learning and coaching the way to high scores and competitive examinations but an overall holistic comprehensive and focused initiative to produce all-rounded human beings. Of course we intend to maintain the highest standards of education. That is a given. What we emphasize is the road we are taking to get there perhaps the road less travelled; but a road which we hope is filled with adventure, with curiosity, with wonder. This is a challenge that we at the Delhi Public World Foundation have taken up in earnest. The wealth of knowledge and experience of our Life Trustees, Term Trustees, Advisory Council and Members of the Education & Resource Councilis being harnessed to open our students' eyes to all the wonderful things that not just this country but the world has to offer. To appreciate art as well as to create it through Pottery and Painting; Sculpture and Mosaic. To establish their own individual identity through creativity. To not only carve a Printing Block or make Handmade Paper out of rags and waste but also to carry it further by printing on the paper and then on to adding value by making greeting cards, stationery, decorative boxes, etc. In simple words we want them to be children, leading an exciting child's life and not be forced to become premature adults! Please join us and be part of our new adventure full of wonder and care. Warmly,
Delhi World Public SchoolNerul, Navi Mumbai

Katie Price admits she wrote 'goodbye letter' to cocaine after rehab stint
Katie Price revealed she had previously written a final "goodbye letter" to cocaine in a bid to kick her habit once and for all after a stint in The Priory back in 2018

Katie Price recalled some of the hardship she'd managed to overcome, remembering one letter in particular that she'd written after undergoing "severe traumatic rehabilitation".
The 42-year-old confessed that she'd taken the time to pen a farewell note to cocaine in a bid to get herself back on track after her stint at The Priory in 2018.
In the candid interview, the former glamour model couldn't quite believe how she'd ever managed to muster up the "strength" to seek help from professionals after "self-medicating" with drugs.
The mum-of-five wanted it to be known that her time spent in rehab was not for alcohol or drugs but instead for "severe traumatic rehabilitation" after suffering a hard-going few years.

When speaking with The Times, Katie explained: "People around me were doing stories that just weren't true, and I'm trying to get up for air and then I'm being knocked down. It does get to you in the end.
"And because I've got five kids, I thought, 'Oh my God, I can't do this.'
"I didn't know how to deal with everything. I just wanted to sleep. I wanted to shut things out. I went to the doctor – I don't know how I found the strength.

"And said 'I'm doing this [cocaine]. It's taking over. I can't cope with it.' He's known me a long time. He looked at me as if to say, 'What?'"
Recalling the moment that she took pen to paper to pen a "goodbye letter to cocaine," she wrote: "You'll never get the better of me again."
The My Crazy Life star, who gave up booze and spent the festive period sober alongside boyfriend Carl Woods, admitted that she still checks in with the doctor at the centre once a week.
Katie's family were insistent that she sought the help of professionals, and in September 2018, the reality TV star finally took on-board their advice and checked herself into The Priory for a 28 day period.

Soon after her stint, Katie appeared on Loose Women to explain how she'd finally reached a breaking point in her life.
She told the panel: "My family and friends were hurt, they didn't know what to do. All these years in the industry I never have [done drugs] but I purely did it to self-medicate.
"I went to the doctors and told them the truth... self-medicating on drugs really, it was disgusting, but it was my way of dealing with it.
"At least I can hold my hands up, if I didn't speak out now, I would still be in a rut."

Management is a broad concept. Trying to encapsulate it in a single definition is bound to be a tricky process. Peter Drucker (The Practice of Management, Heinemann Ltd, 1955) commented: 'Management is a practice rather than a science.' This is somewhat self-evident, but to try to make rules for successful management, in the same way as a chemical process, ignores the main element of variability.
The aims of this course are to look at the ways mangers work towards organisational harmony within the context of the organisational culture and development. There is significant emphasis on teams and individuals and their roles within the organisation.
Furthermore emphasis is given to effect management communication and planning with a view to achieving organisational success. Before finally concentrating on effective management techniques that can be employed in monitoring and controlling employees.

American universities are temporarily divided into: public universities, private universities, liberal arts colleges, and community colleges. In terms of tuition fees, public universities and community colleges have lower tuition fees, and private universities and liberal arts colleges are more expensive. Scholarships are available in universities, and private universities offer more scholarships than public universities.
