Alan George Marshall (17 April 1895 – 14 May 1973) played first-class cricket for Somerset between 1914 and 1931. He was born at Chennai, India, then called Madras, and died at Pettistree, Woodbridge, Suffolk. The date of his death is recorded in his obituary in Wisden Cricketers' Almanack as 14 March 1973 and his first name in that reference is spelled "Allan".

Marshall was a lower-order right-handed batsman and a right-arm slow bowler for most of his first-class cricket career, but in the last three seasons in which he played, from 1929 to 1931, he also acted at times as Somerset's wicketkeeper because of the long-running ill-health of the county's regular keeper, Wally Luckes.

Educated at Taunton School, where he was an outstanding schoolboy cricketer, Marshall played in six Somerset matches in the 1914 season. After war service, he went back to Taunton School as a schoolmaster and stayed there until his retirement in 1955, playing much club cricket in the Taunton area. He reappeared in the Somerset side for a few games in the 1922, 1923 and 1926 seasons, without making much impact. His highest score was 37 in the match against Leicestershire at Leicester in 1922. In 1927, he played nine matches, and at times batted as high as No 4 in the batting order, but without success: he did, however, achieve his best bowling figures with three wickets for 51 runs in a rain-affected game against Glamorgan at Bath.

Marshall first played as wicketkeeper in the 1929 season and in 1930 he played 14 matches in total, although in some of them Frank Lee was the designated wicketkeeper. After Luckes' recovery, he did not play again in first-class cricket.

His brother Leslie also played for Somerset between 1913 and 1931.

This past week, I sat down with Erica Haims of Haims Consulting to discuss the direction of marketing localization. We discussed the considerable changes evident in both technology and the processes used to adapt marketing to create an emotional connection with global markets. Here are Erica's insights to the future of marketing localization in 2018 and beyond, as well as how we need to adapt.
Q1) What has been your experience in the translation/localization industry?
I was given a unique opportunity to join Apple's marketing communications department back in 2008. The 2nd generation iPhone was just released, it was an exciting time. This was before the iPad and App store existed. The devices that Apple creates vary in functionality and content availability from region to region. Localization started to be re-defined as the adaptation of content in addition to translation of text at that time. Now there is increased complexity to the marketing content across many industries. A worldwide production effort is required and there are many pitfalls as marketing messaging travels around the globe.
Q2) From your experience, how has digital marketing changed the way we look at localization?
Advancements in e-commerce and the increased availability of WiFi have created an opportunity to reach new customers in emerging markets. Suddenly, many new companies are competing for these customers' attention. Since people prefer to be spoken to in their own language, many more industries are seeing the need for localization. Translating text to specific markets for a particular industry is an enormous challenge in and of itself. But now once you add imagery to your text, your marketing messaging may have an entirely new meaning. Add conflicts with local culture, political climate, and natural disasters and now marketing content has become complex and demanding. Globalization strategy needs to be nimble and flexible due to the many adjustments that have to be executed. This is why the relationship between a client and their language service provider (LSP) is the key to success in the global marketplace. The LSP is your expert in all things your business and international business and will guide clients through their expansion into each new market.
Q3) How has the increase of competition with global companies affected the industry?
More and more industries are deciding to go global and globalize their marketing. The LSPs have evolved to meet that need, which is fantastic. The localization industry has been tasked with things like "transcreation" and "glocal" marketing. This new terminology is in direct response to the increase in demand for localized content. Companies look to LSPs as their experts in localization and that now extends to the marketing content.
Q4) What is the biggest difference you see between reaching global targets today vs 10 years ago?
First: Competition – Amazing advancements in e-commerce and WiFI were made this past year alone. The ease in reaching consumers has brought more competitors to the emerging markets.
Second: Timing – The greatest threat to a product launch is actually time. Your foreign consumer knows when products are available and the demand is to have products available everywhere at the same time.
Third: Adaptation – Products vary per market in feature and content availability. Large organizations, such as Apple and Microsoft, have been adapting their content via country throughout this past decade. Now even smaller brands who wish to expand their reach are seeing the need to adapt the content in addition to the text.
Fourth: Technology – Advancements in machine translation technology and translation memory allow for text translation to be completed faster than ever before.
Fifth: Flexibility – News travels fast around the world. Quick adjustments are necessary when there are natural disasters, conflicts between nations, and events that impact your customer.
Q5) In light of the current global marketing environment, what do you think the next big shift needs to be in the way translation and localization is handled?
I see the actual role of the LSP being elevated to valued partner. This partner is your greatest advocate, expert in all things related to their client's business, and defender of their brand. I believe an easy adjustment to be made for a successful partnership will be to bring your LSP into the fold as early as possible. Allow them access to as much context as possible and allow them access throughout the project lifecycle. This will empower your translation/global adaptation partner to ensure that your presence in foreign markets are set up for success.
Q6) You touched upon the technology advancements in Machine Translation and Translation memory? What impact do you see these advancements having on the industry?
Machine Translation and Translation Memory advancements are really fascinating. These tools have been in development for some time. Now we are starting to see their necessity in our space. Translators can focus on the increase of projects and their complex requirements. Translators and copywriters have more time to collaborate on ensuring that the message is in line with the overall brand message. Localization technology has enabled LSPs to keep up with their clients growth and handle the complex needs associated with the localization of marketing content.
Just as companies today need to know their clients to create tailored, personal campaigns, localization experts need to have as much knowledge about their clients as they do of language and culture of target markets. Only then will we be able to meet the demands of the global marketplace.

Home Blasts from the Past Lone Star Beer: Texas Music and Texas Beer Join Forces (1976)
Lone Star Beer: Texas Music and Texas Beer Join Forces (1976)
The Backstory: In late 1975, Lone Star Brewing Co. marketing executives Jerry Retzloff and Barry Sullivan spoke with this reporter at length about the budding brew-mance between Texas musicians and Lone Star Beer.
The resulting feature appeared in the February 14, 1976 edition of Cash Box, then one of the music industry's top three trade magazines (after Billboard and Record World). One of the first nationally published articles on the topic, it was also my final feature as a Cash Box associate editor.
Retzloff and I had met a few months earlier, at the third annual Willie Nelson Picnic outside Austin on July 4, 1975.
After arriving on the scene with a bunch of other music journos before the show started, I saw the Lone Star trucks adjacent to the backstage area and introduced myself to a few of the guys, saying I was interested in some info for my Cash Box review.
The guy in charge was Jerry Retzloff. He invited me to tag along with him and talk as he and his guys continued stocking the backstage coolers with cases of cold Lone Star.
A few seconds later, Retzloff introduced me to Poodie Locke, Willie Nelson's road-stage manager, saying I was a big-time writer from California, but not to hold it against me.
A few minutes later, Nelson showed up backstage and Retzloff introduced me to him as well, saying they were old, old friends. Willie was as friendly as I'd heard, and gave Poodie the OK for me to be backstage.
To my eternal amazement, I watched most of the picnic from the wings, taking notes in a little notebook, kicking myself in the ass for not having some kind of camera.
But it was also good to be in the shade, not out in the brain-frying Texas sun with the thousands of half-drunk rednecks and half-stoned hippies in the audience.
And for years afterward, anytime I showed up at a Willie show – must have been a couple dozen times – Poodie got me backstage. And at some point, there'd usually be a few minutes to catch up and maybe swap caps with Willie. Poodie was a real-deal Texas character, an Austin icon. (He checked out in 2009.)
Jerry Retzloff, pre-Austin.
Less than two years before the 1975 picnic, in fall 1973, Reztloff had been named Lone Star's district manager for south central Texas, based in Austin.
As a native of San Antonio, where the brewery was established in 1845, he wasn't crazy about relocating to Austin. At first.
Retzloff soon heard and saw local hippie-redneck rock bands at local clubs drinking Lone Star onstage and name-checking the beer in songs.
Light bulbs went off. He reported what he saw and heard to Sullivan, the brewery's marketing VP, who gave Retzloff free rein to develop a Texas music-related marketing strategy targeting young people, and start wrangling the fans' favorite musicians into the Lone Star stable.
He let his beard and hair grow, lost the coat and tie. He got to know the musicians as well as the club owners in and around Austin and environs. For Retzloff, a true beer-lover and a lifelong fan of all kinds of music, from rock to blues to country to jazz, hanging out and drinking Lone Stars with the players was a tough gig.
Willie Nelson and Jerry Retzloff, 1974.
The players liked him because he knew their music, was a fun-seeking people-person by nature, and was a true Texan, not a transplant.
Plus "Lone Star Jerry" always brought the beer.
Retzloff and Willie Nelson, a Texas native who'd recently fled Nashville and moved to Austin, were longtime friends even then. They had a private conversation about the connection brewing between the sounds and suds, and conspired to help each other reach the 21+ youth market in Texas to sell more records and beer.
It was a secret handshake agreement between friends, in which no money ever changed hands. But even in late 1975, at the time of this Cash Box interview and feature, Retzloff was still discretely keeping a lid on that little detail…
The Original Story, February 14, 1976: The curious bridge that has developed between cowboy-hatted rednecks and longhaired counterculture-types in Texas has been under construction for the last few years.
A major foundation has been music. The building materials of progressive-minded Texas music have ranged from said cowboys looking for a little fire in their country music to rock 'n' roll refugees looking for a little reality.
Just as every construction site has its usual complement of beer, Lone Star Beer has become an important lubricant among the many cultural forces at work building on diverse musical foundations in Texas.
By direct association with the expanding Texas music culture since late in 1973, Lone Star Beer sales have increased significantly; in 1975, the San Antonio-based brewery yielded its first net profit since 1969.
More than one factor brought about that association and subsequent black ink for "the National Beer of Texas."
After love affairs with English rock 'n' roll during the early '60s and with Bay Area psychedelia later in that decade, Texas' young people turned back to Texas and its diversely rooted lifestyles and music in the early '70s.

A new Texas legend began to develop, and almost anything Texan in origin was embraced by Texas' young people as part of that legend. Lone Star Beer, as indigenous to Texas as it could get by its name alone, was caught up in the culture that had developed with the music.
The man who first saw the role Lone Star Beer was to play in the Texas [music] scene was Jerry Retzloff, who, as the brewery's Austin-based central Texas sales manager, is the catalyst between the musicians and the brewery.
"I was in an Austin club [the Armadillo World Headquarters] sometime late in 1973, and [house band] Greezy Wheels was onstage doing their set," Retzloff said. "In the lyrics of a couple of their songs they talked about Lone Star Beer as being part of the scene, and the audience really responded to it.
"Later, I found that the club, which normally would sell about 50 percent Lone Star and 50 percent another beer, was selling 75 percent Lone Star when the band was playing. It returned to 50 percent when they weren't," he said.
At other clubs offering progressive-minded Texas music, Retzloff noticed a similar pattern of lyric and beer.
"It appeared that the best way to increase our market share was to work on-premises at the clubs," he said. "No other beer works on premises. We have found that by relating to beer as a personal thing rather than strictly a commodity we are able to maintain a personal relationship with the clubs, the artists and the audiences. Lone Star is part of the people and their culture because of that. It's an old Indian trick – when something's rolling, you don't try to stop it."

More than anyone or anything, Retzloff helped give a direction to Lone Star Beer's involvement with Texas music and its growing importance with the people there.
His love for the music has made it easy to communicate with those who make it; he started collecting records as a youngster in the late 1940s and '50s. He made his way backstage to meet the performers when they played in San Antonio and began lasting friendships with many of them.
"It was just in my blood," Retzloff said. "In those days I listened to a lot of blues – Bo Diddley, Joe Turner, Jimmy Reed – but I got into just about everything else, too."
Retzloff's childhood home in San Antonio was two miles from the Lone Star brewery, which was a source of local pride and status. He had grown up wanting to work there one day, and the opportunity arose in 1963 when the Texas employment department referred him to a tax bookkeeping position.
Between 1965 and 1971 Retzloff also attended college part-time and received his B.A. in marketing, which allowed him to grow with the company. After a two-year stint as Lone Star's manager for the West Texas area, he was assigned to manage the central Texas sales district based in Austin in September 1973. It was shortly thereafter that Retzloff caught Greezy Wheels' set at the Armadillo.
After witnessing the development of a new kind of hybrid country-oriented music and how younger audiences were beginning to see Lone Star Beer as hip, not square, Retzloff passed the word to Barry Sullivan, Lone Star Brewing Co.'s marketing vice president.
Retzloff continued visiting with the performers and laid the groundwork for working relationships between the performers and Lone Star.

Then, according to Sullivan, "It all came together for us at Willie Nelson's second annual Fourth of July Picnic in 1974. Jerry had been working with Willie on the picnic's preparation, and Lone Star was the unofficial (but sentimental) beer of the three-day concert.

"Jerry had been telling us Texas music was the way to change our cowpoke image among young people, and we went with it," Sullivan said.
[Click here for a photo gallery from the 1974 Picnic.]
Murphey had written "Cosmic Cowboy" [with the lyric about skinny-dippin' and Lone Star sippin'] as more of a satirical send-up of the burgeoning longhaired redneck rock scene than a plan for a cultural revolution.
But it mattered not to the thousands of people attending the festival. Lone Star Beer, according to Sullivan, at that point was solidly identified with this new music.
Lone Star moved to catch up with its new-found youthful image. First, the brewery renamed its basic 12-ounce returnable bottle the "longneck." The longneck was the basic package served in the clubs and bars where the seeds of Texas music had been growing and was quickly adopted by club audiences.
Jim Franklin, a noted Texas artist and the man credited with creating "armadillo art," painted a series of posters titled "A Tribute to the Longneck Bottle" for Lone Star. One, titled "Schooner in a Longneck," depicts teams of armadillos pulling an oversized longneck bottle with a Conestoga sealed inside.
Prints of three different posters have been distributed Texas-wide so far. A fourth, the last in the series, is due February 15.
Next, the brewery produced a series of Lone Star Beer radio commercials written and performed by Texas musicians. Leonard Arnold, lead guitar player for the Filler Bros. (Texas singer-writer Rusty Wier's backing band), wrote a one-minute song titled "Long Live Longnecks and Lone Star Beer," and Wier's band recorded it.
The first commercial was extremely successful, and Wier found himself being asked to perform the song as part of his set. Fellow musicians B.W. Stevenson and Steve Fromholz subsequently produced Lone Star Beer spots that were equally popular.
"With the commercials, we want to recreate, if only for a minute, that energy we felt in the clubs," Sullivan said. "The artists were directly involved with the progressive country-oriented music, and therefore credible with the people.
"We also took advantage of the fact that most advertising agencies and most breweries advertise on TV during the summer," he said.
Rusty Wier and Willie Nelson quaff a couple cans of Lone Star Beer, circa 1975.
"When they switched their advertising load to television in the summer, Lone Star went on the radio. Between May and September, Lone Star was the only beer being advertised on the radio," Sullivan said.
"No one tried to knock down by competitive activity what we were doing. It gave us a tremendous vacuum in which to operate," he said.
Jimmy Buffett, Navasota and Calico have recorded Lone Star Beer commercials, and Freddy Fender and Los Unicos have both done spots for the Spanish-speaking market.
For television, Lone Star hired ShelterVision to prepare a series of six hour-long "Lone Star Cross Country Music Specials," including stereo sound to be simulcast on FM stations.
Each special was broadcast [regionally by ABC] in 10 (and later 12) ADIs – or areas of dominating influence – which included San Antonio, Austin, Dallas, Houston and other areas.
Shot in Austin and hosted by Willie Nelson, the series featured Asleep at the Wheel, Jerry Jeff Walker, Rusty Wier, Jimmy Buffett, Ray Wylie Hubbard, B.W. Stevenson, Tracy Nelson, Willis Allan Ramsey, Steve Fromholz, Larry Hosserford, Kenneth Threadgill, and Nelson and his band. The first five specials were well-received all over Texas last year; the sixth and final episode will air in March.
The concept for the TV specials was the same as the radio spots – authenticity.

"We wanted to make it possible for people all over Texas to see what they were a part of, so we just put it out there as honestly as we could," Sullivan said.
"Through my relationship with Jerry and the artists and with my sons (early 20s) I had become sensitive to advertisements that condescended to the people it was designed to reach," he said. "The people we're aiming at are not fooled by that kind of highly commercial approach."
For the "Lone Star Cross Country Music Specials," Sullivan said, "Bob Livingston and Gary P. Nunn, currently members of The Lost Gonzo Band, co-wrote a 2:13 piece that was the basic song used in our radio commercials. We advertised in each area a week prior to the airdate, using spots on progressive rock, Top 40 and progressive country stations aimed directly toward the 18-24 age group. Additionally, commercials were made up for country-western, black and Mexican stations."
As much as Lone Star Beer advertised on the radio, the TV specials had no commercial interruptions.
"We wanted nothing to get in the way of doing it right," Sullivan said. "The televised specials had no Lone Star opening or closing, When the camera played to the audience during the filming, anywhere you looked you saw people drinking Lone Star. The artists onstage were drinking Lone Star. The only advertising we used was visual.
"Jerry reviewed the guest artists with Willie because as host he could best figure which artists would be best-suited for each show," he said. "And it was funky. It wasn't network quality in terms of a 'Hee Haw' for example, but it was what we wanted. The feeling was that you were sitting right there as you watched it on the screen and listened to it on the stereo. It was not hype, and everybody involved has been glad to be a part of it."
As Lone Star Beer's image and popularity increased, the demand for Lone Star accessories has boomed. There are Lone Star belt buckle-bottle openers, tie tacks and pins, patches, more than 60 different Lone Star t-shirt designs, Lone Star cups, glasses, pitchers and a Lone Star hat made by Texas Hatters. The latest thing to emerge is a Lone Star denim vest.
Interestingly, Lone Star realizes no profit from these ventures.
"A couple of years ago if you put Lone Star Beer on a t-shirt it wouldn't sell. Now t-shirt manufacturers are calling us and asking us if they can design and produce some, because they are getting requests for Lone Star t-shirts," Sullivan said.

"We told them to go ahead but to avoid hurting the image, so they designed and produced their own t-shirts for their own customers," he said. "The only – and most important – thing we get from those deals is increased visibility, to spread the word around."
Founded in 1845, the Lone Star brewery was purchased in 1940 by Harry Jersig; its capacity was 38,000 barrels in those days when wet towns were outnumbered by dry towns in south-central Texas.
Jersig kept profits flowing back into the brewery; there was a construction crew on the premises for 19 years straight, and Lone Star's present output capacity in 1.2 million barrels.
Over the years, the brewery's growth had been stable but for the last five years, Lone Star had been losing sales an average of five percent a year. But in 1975, the brewery had a sales increase of two percent.
The longneck bottle, which had been losing [market share by] approximately 500,000 cases during those five years, showed an 800,000-case increase in 1975, or a plus-1.3 million case swing from the five-year trend line.
Considering the longneck is Lone Star's primary profit package, profits have increased proportionately. In 1974, after-tax sales amounted to $29,782,000, and for the first 11 months of 1975, the sales were $32,826000. The figures for December are not yet available.
The climate for Lone Star's continued expansion is good. Last fall, Lone Star and WMAQ, Chicago's NBC-owned-and-operated country station, completed advertising agreements and Lone Star is now a regular advertiser. Lone Star's Chicago business is done on a gross profit operation – whatever they sell is invested back in the market via WMAQ advertising.
"We're starting to get a lot of calls from places in New Jersey, Washington, Southern California, San Francisco, Kansas, Iowa and Atlanta, wherever this music is starting to pick up," Sullivan said.
"We'll go into those pockets and maybe ship them a [train] carload or a truckload," he said. "We just want to keep the beer fresh. And as this Bicentennial celebration rolls around, people begin to introspect about some of the things that made this country great – for instance the development of the West and what the West meant to those who settled it.
"Texas is kind of the west to everybody, and I think we've got a chance by our name alone of being part of the energy that comes out of Texas' lifestyle," Sullivan said.
"There's a lot of evidence pointing to the fact that while California attracted young people in the '60s, Texas is now taking that on her shoulders," he said. "If that were to happen, we would want to be a part of what they think Texas to be.

"People outside Texas have an opinion that Texas is wide open, and ecologically a better place than Los Angeles or New York, and they're right," Sullivan said. "We're positioning ourselves to roll with the music if and when it takes on national significance."
When asked about other styles of music, Sullivan made it clear that Lone Star's interest was getting involved with music of all kinds.
"ZZ Top out of Houston called and asked what they could do with us, and we do have other people not normally associated with progressive country," he said. "What we want to do is move totally into music. Willie's last album ("Red-Headed Stranger") was not progressive – 'Blue Eyes Cryin' in the Rain' was not progressive. I think he wants to move sideways, and likewise, we want to involve ourselves sideways."
Through the symbiotic identification of Lone Star Beer and Texas music, many elements have benefited. The relationships have provided increased exposure for each other, causing increases in record and beer sales.
While the liaison may ultimately benefit the bankbooks of artists and breweries alike, the spirit of camaraderie found by Retzloff and the Texas musicians more than anything else has created a warm climate for mutual friendship and cooperation.
Jerry and Stephen caught up nearly 40 years later at The Wittliff Collection's "Armadillo Rising" event at the Alkek Library, Texas State University, San Marcos, on April 19, 2015, and a day later at the Retzloff family's River House in nearby Gruene, Texas.

Asian-Australians 'can't be themselves' if they want to succeed
IT'S the obstacle holding back ambitious employees in Australian workplaces, and one that's damaging our industries, at home and overseas.

When Malaysian-born Ming Long left her role as CEO of Investa Property Group in April, she halved the number of Asian CEOs in the ASX 200.
And the 45-year-old business leader is calling on Australia to recognise the damage the trend is doing to our industries, at home and overseas.
Ms Long has run some of Australia's biggest finance and real estate companies, but says she's never stopped turning cartwheels to fit in.
"It's a tightrope," she told news.com.au. "I feel like sometimes I'm doing this artistic gymnastic thing on this beam ... I'm trying to do these triple spins etc and stay on that tightrope."
Asian-Australians are performing gymnastics just to be accepted in business, says one influential leader. Picture: Toshifumi KitamuraSource:AFP
She says Asian employees, especially if they are also women, are expected to be quiet, unthreatening and good at maths-type roles. If they don't conform, they may be labelled as aggressive.
"In a meeting with other executives where you are clearly the stand-out odd person, the stereotyping then comes in.
"When you don't play to that stereotype it means people don't like you as much.
"Getting into leadership, there is a sense you need to have people who want to work with you. That means you can't be yourself.

'A SHAME FOR OUR COUNTRY'
There are a high number of Asian-Australians working in major companies, it's advancement that's the problem.
Almost a third of Asian talent intended to leave their employer in the next year, the report found. One in four of those intending to resign cited negative cultural diversity as an influence on their decision.
She believes that is "such a shame for our country that wants to harvest the best talent available that we're not utilising these graduates. They seem to be hitting a ceiling and I think it's because people don't value the differences they see."
In January, Australian of the Year David Morrison pointed out that Asia holds more than 50 per cent of the world's population, and seven out of Australia's top 10 export markets (66 per cent of our total market.)
A more diverse workforce is likely to be a more successful one, because it will be able to consider every different side of an issue.
If you're trying to solve a problem with a group of people who all have the same experience and think the same way, "the studies show you've actually increased the risk of making the wrong decision," says Ms Long.
Asian people are well represented in the labour market, but not in the top jobs. Picture: Diversity Council AustraliaSource:Supplied
WHY YOUR WORKPLACE SHOULDN'T HAVE A 'CULTURE'
Successful companies often try to hire employees who are a "cultural fit" for their organisation, but this can lead to a homogenous workforce.
"You're more likely to hire someone who looks like you, sounds like you, makes you feel really comfortable," says Ms Long. "You're relaxed around them.
"There's a danger to that in the sense that it's not going to expose you to the diversity of ideas that come from people with different backgrounds."
She said businesses need to hire different kinds of people to attract a range of talent, and we need to change "what society expects leaders to be."
"People will say, 'but we are looking for merit,' but that's a trap too ... Merit is a trap. It really depends on who's defining it.
Ming Long has more than 20 years of experience in financial management and real estate and is the first and only Asian female to lead an ASX-100 or 200 listed entity in Australia. She speaks at the Festival of Dangerous Ideas in Sydney on Saturday. Tickets available here.

EXCLUSIVE: Probiotics sold by Amazon.com found to contain hazardous levels of lead and aluminum, toxic elements that cause neurological damage
Wednesday, August 14, 2019 by: Mike Adams
Tags: Amazon, badfood, badhealth, badpollution, digestion, Food Forensics, goodscience, gut health, Heavy metals, Jeff Bezos, lab science, Lead, leonardite, probiotics, public safety, supplements
(Natural News) (Natural News exclusive) – An independent lab science investigation has found that Amazon.com is selling probiotic supplements for human consumption that contain hazardous levels of lead, a toxic heavy metal linked to neurological damage, bone disorders and kidney problems.
We discovered the contaminated probiotic supplement during routine ICP-MS testing at our in-house laboratory, the Consumer Wellness lab, which is ISO 17025 accredited as a food and heavy metals laboratory.
The probiotic supplement, which is touted as a "soil-based microorganisms" probiotic supplement, uses a mined mineral matrix as its primary ingredient. That ingredient is called "Leonardite" and is often found near coal mining or coal processing operations. This Leonardite matrix contains toxic heavy metals, including lead. It's also high in humic acid, which is why it's used as a soil amendment. For the purposes of this exclusive article, we are not claiming that Leonardite, when sold as a soil amendment, is dangerous. Our focus here is the fact that it's being added to dietary supplements that are consumed orally. In that context, we believe Leonardite represents a health hazard to humans.
For some reason, the manufacturer of a probiotics supplement decided to use Leonardite as the No. 1 ingredient in their product, giving it a very dark, black-like color. Because of the use of Leonardite, the product as a whole raises huge red flags with the amount of lead and aluminum it contains.
Notably, Amazon.com does not test the third-party products it sells, which is why Amazon is gladly selling this product to the public, apparently oblivious to the extremely high levels of lead and aluminum it contains. (Read more news about heavy metals at HeavyMetals.news.)

Learn More.
The levels found in this probiotic supplement are:
Lead: Over 5,000 ppb
Aluminum: Nearly 3,000,000 ppb
Lead is a toxic heavy metals linked to brain damage, and aluminum is a toxic metal linked to Alzheimer's, kidney disorders and a variety of neurological problems. The fact that this probiotic supplement is openly sold to the public through Jeff Bezos' Amazon.com retail operation demonstrates Amazon's utter lack of quality control and public safety measures.
Don't expect the Washington Post to cover this news, of course, since Jeff Bezos owns that news organization as well. You'll only learn this from the independent media. And even across the realm of independent media, we are the only organization that owns and operates an independent laboratory that's ISO accredited in mass spec analysis. (I wrote an entire book on heavy metals in food. It's called Food Forensics, and ironically, it became the No. 1 best-selling science book on Amazon.com for a period of time.)
See the full video on this probiotic supplement exclusively at Brighteon.com:
https://www.brighteon.com/89b9571b-7fd2-4171-92c7-bb1e85ae9fb1
Leonardite contains 10,000 ppb of lead and over 3,500,000 ppb aluminum
Curious about the toxic elements found in Leonardite itself, we purchased a bag of Leonardite from Amazon.com and tested it via ICP-MS. The results were even more alarming than what we had found with the probiotic supplement:
Lead = 10,000 ppb
Aluminum = 3,500,000 ppb
These are insanely high levels of toxic elements for something that people are taking as a dietary supplement. Importantly, when Leonardite is sold by itself, it's only labeled as a garden or soil amendment. It's not labeled for internal consumption. But when probiotics companies add Leonardite to their oral products, they are taking a highly contaminated substance that's full of lead and aluminum, then adding it to their probiotics supplements that people swallow.
In conducting research for this article, we left messages with Leonardite Products, LLC, located in Williston, ND, asking for a statement on whether they are aware their product is being used as the primary ingredient in a dietary supplement. We did not receive a response at the time this article was published, but we may update the article if we hear back from this company. From their website, there is no indication that Leonardite Products intends for their raw material to be sold as a dietary supplement.
Their product safety web page urges caution:
Leonardite Products are environmentally stable and will not cause harmful effects to soil or groundwater. However, as is the case with any organic or chemical compound, some safety precautions should be taken while handling and applying our products. Please take the time to read the caution labels and use Leonardite Products in compliance with the instructions listed on product labels and throughout this web site.
On the Leonardite Products website, the company links to a "heavy mineral analysis" PDF which shows testing results from lab tests conducted by Midwest Laboratories, Inc. in December, 2013:
Aluminum: 5,658,000 ppb, or 7,678,000 ppb after the material is dried
Lead: 5,900 ppb, or 8,100 ppb after the material is dried
UNITS explanation: The units in their PDF are mg/kg. This is the same as parts per million or ppm. Multiple mg/kg by 1,000 to arrive at parts per billion. In other words, all the following descriptions are equivalent:
1 mg / kg = 1 ppm = 1,000 ppb = 1,000 ug / kg, etc. This are all standard metric units, mass / mass, used in food science.
These reported levels of lead and aluminum from Midwest Laboratories are in agreement with our own testing, when taking into account the natural variability of the product itself. This means at least two labs have now confirmed very high levels of lead and aluminum in this product. Again, if used as labeled — as a soil amendment — this is not an immediate health hazard for humans. But when used as a dietary supplement, it presents very serious hazards to customers. (To be clear, the Leonardite company does not label their bulk product for human consumption.)
The fact that Leonardite Products publicly posted their mineral analysis means the probiotic manufacturer that used this material in a dietary supplement should have been aware of the high levels of lead and aluminum it contained. They cannot claim ignorance. (We are not naming the probiotic supplement company here, but they are easily identified by looking for "Leonardite" as the first ingredient in their supplement.)
The Leonardite Products company warns against internal consumption
The Safety Data Sheet posted by Leonardite Products warns about internal consumption of their product:
Section 4: First Aid Measures
Ingestion: If conscious, drink large quantities of water. Do not induce vomiting. Take immediately to a hospital or physician. If vomiting occurs, administer additional water. If unconscious or in convulsions, take immediately to a hospital. Do not attempt to induce vomiting or give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
It appears, then, that Leonardite Products is very likely not aware that their raw material is being added to dietary supplements which are marketing and sold by Amazon.com, intended to be orally consumed by unaware customers.
It also makes us wonder how a dietary supplement company can apparently source absolutely anything they want — including bulk materials that are never intended for human consumption — and make it the primary ingredient for a dietary supplement sold on Amazon.com. Are there no safety standards whatsoever when it comes to marketing dietary supplements and profiting from their sale? Does Amazon.com have zero quality control or public safety standards?
By the way, this is the exact same situation as zeolites, another mined mineral matrix that's extremely contaminated with lead and aluminum. Yet zeolites are ground into a powder and sold as a dietary supplement on Amazon.com as well. They've been sold there for years. Nobody has done anything about this except us. We exposed the high lead in zeolites in 2015. In response, we were of course attacked by the zeolite supplement marketers.
Watch my full lab video at Brighteon.com to learn more:
Amazon.com should be sued for selling a dietary supplement with such high levels of lead and aluminum
All of this brings up an important question: Why is Amazon.com selling a probiotics supplement made with a non-food-grade mineral matrix substance that contains hazardous levels of lead and aluminum if consumed orally?
Why doesn't Amazon test the products it sells? To my knowledge, the Health Ranger Store is the only natural products retailer in the world that routinely tests every production lot for heavy metals, glyphosate and microbiology. We would never sell a product that contains 5,000 ppb of lead.
Why isn't the FDA raiding Amazon warehouses across America to confiscate this product and protect the public? In years past, we've seen the FDA conduct armed raids on natural product companies that contained healing substances such as medicinal herbs and natural phytonutrients. But the FDA appears to take no action whatsoever when there's a dietary supplement being sold that contains hazardous levels of toxic elements like lead. Why isn't the FDA taking action on this? (And more importantly, why does it take an independent laboratory to tell you about this, when the FDA has the responsibility to do all this testing in the first place?)
Where are there no media reports whatsoever on all this? The same media that freaks out and goes berserk over 65 ppb of arsenic in wine has nothing at all to say about 5,000+ ppb of lead in a dietary supplement? Astonishing…
The bottom line: Don't trust anything sold by Amazon.com… it may be full of lead or other toxic metals
The upshot of all this is simple: Don't trust anything sold by Amazon.com. Their dietary supplements may be heavily contaminated with lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury, aluminum or theoretically even radioactive isotopes. Amazon has no idea what they're selling because they don't test third party products. Apparently, any manufacturer can claim to have a "dietary supplement" and get it sold on Amazon.com, which means Amazon is essentially endorsing these products and serving as a conduit to put toxic products into the hands of consumers. This is beyond unethical; it's negligence.
CWC Labs is available to provide ISO-accredited ICP-MS testing results to any law firm that wishes to initiate a class action lawsuit against Amazon.com. Contact us for details. Furthermore, any competent lab in America can confirm these results. You can find this product to purchase on Amazon by going to Amazon.com and searching for "soil based probiotics leonardite."
By the way, the same supplement manufacturer also sells a similar product for pets. Yes, it also contains Leonardite as the No. 1 ingredient. So Fido can literally eat lead.
The cost of telling the truth in a culture of deception and greed
Both myself and Natural News are routinely censored, slandered, defamed, demonetized and demonized by the "science establishment" in order to silence my whistleblowing lab science work. Now you know why: We are the only independent media organization in the world that's testing off-the-shelf products and blowing the whistle on powerful corporations that are poisoning the people. The efforts to discredit our work have been unprecedented in the history of journalism.
No one else is doing this work. Not even the FDA. And certainly not the Washington Post. If you want the truth about food science, see more of my videos at FoodForensics.com.

There's a new card game called 'Bitcon' that's been introduced on Kickstarter that allows people to experience the cryptocurrency investment fever for amusement and laughs. The strategy game was created by two cryptocurrency investors who were tired of hearing about people doing unbelievable things like selling their home or using their student loan money to go 'all in' on a portfolio of digital assets.
Two guys named Brandon and Sam who call themselves the 'two stupid investors,' created a tabletop card game that replicates cryptocurrency investing called 'Bitcon.' Basically, players are dealt a hand of five cards each and players draw cards in sequence to find out if the market goes up or down, or maybe even collapse. Alongside cards that move the market, there are also other action cards like the 'Reverse the Market' card which changes the direction of the current market trend. There's also the 'Cash Out' card which can enable a player to cash out and cause the next player to pick up the remaining cards. Moreover, each deck of Bitcon cards has three 'Pop' cards — a card that serves as market collapse warning and when the last card is used the bitcoin market crashes and the game ends.
The two creators who designed the Bitcon card game say they kept hearing about individuals doing wild and unbelievable things to obtain bitcoin. Then soon scouring Reddit forums and social media their game concept became an amusing simulation showcasing the risks and rewards tied to cryptocurrency investments.
"If you like fast-paced strategy games, laugh at people that sold their house to buy bitcoin, or simply want to show grandma how to lose all your cash online," explains the creators of Bitcon.
Buy Bitcon — You'll soon be addicted to losing all your money.
The Bitcon creators say they wanted to create a game that allows the "thrills of being a big money investor with zero risks." According to the Kickstarter campaign, a Bitcon strategy tournament can be roughly fifteen minutes of gameplay.
Its 15 minutes of pure strategy, pace, and gambling. Betting addicts we've found you a solution.
Bitcon is not the first Kickstarter card game campaign featuring a bitcoin-esque theme as news.Bitcoin.com reported on Bitcoin Empire back in January of 2017. The game featured many cryptocurrency luminaries within the industry and even a Pepe the frog playing card. However, the Bitcoin Empire funding on Kickstarter was unsuccessful as the team didn't meet the £5,000 goal.

After Largest Dam Removal in U.S. History, This River Is Thriving
June 2, 2016 - Conservationists can now point to the more
June 2, 2016 - Conservationists can now point to the largest dam removal project in the U.S. as a success story. The ecosystem of Washington's Elwha River has been thriving since the removal of its hydroelectric dam system. Recent surveys show dramatic recovery, especially in the near shore at the river's mouth, where the flow of sediment has created favorable habitat for the salmon population. A new generation of salmon species, some of which are endangered, are now present in the river. Some hope that the restoration of the Elwha River will become a shining example for the removal of dams across the U.S.
Read "River Revives After Largest Dam Removal in U.S. History."
Check out salmon photos on National Geographic Your Shot.
ANNE SHAFFER, LEAD SCIENTIST, COASTAL WATERSHED INSTITUTE:
It depends on the species, but we have a broad range and theyr'e all kids from infants to basically teenagers.
Seeing the evolution, is what it's ended up being, in particular in the near shore, it's been a dramatic transformation.
The near shore is a very important bridge between the upland and marine systems and it is a critical link between the two that kind of make both work. If you think about the Elwha watershed and the marine systems as being a house, the near shore component of it would be the nursery. And so it provides this wonderful little oasis of habitat and food and refuge. So it's a very quiet place in a very tumultuous world
So I've been working in the near shore, I think I started my first conversation about the Elwha near shore were in 1995, so just about 21 years.
We're going to do four total. For our second one, we're going to walk up and around the corner.
We'll see Chinook salmon, coho, steelhead, chum, bull trout. And all of those are federally listed as being endangered species.
The Elwha dam removals isn't just about pulling dams for fish passage, although that's certainly a big part of it, it's also about liberating wood and liberating sediment and in the near shore those two elements are what make our beaches, they're what make our kelp beds, they're what make our eelgrass beds and those habitats are the things that are so critical for the function of the near shore.
There's a hundred years of sediment that's been trapped up in the watershed, that's roughly the same as eight stadium-fulls of sediment. Now that the dams are out, the visual aspect of it is so dramatic that the near shore has actually become the poster child for entire dam removal project. This is the largest dam removal project in the nation, and certainly the first of it's kind, so nobody knew what was going to happen. But the good part is that the ecosystem will be restored from this action.

Abolhassan E'tesami (1903–1978), was an Iranian architect, calligrapher, painter, and novelist.

Biography
His father Mīrzā Ebrāhīm Khan Mostawfī Eʿteṣām-al-Molk (or Ebrahim E'tesami) was from Ashtian and the head of finance of the Iranian province of Azerbaijan. His brother Yussef E'tesami was the founder of the Bahar journal, and the father of the poet Parvin E'tesami.

Abolhassan E'tesami was educated in Tehran at the Aghdasieh School, the American School, and the Kamal-ol-molk School of Fine Arts. Then he spent some years in Isfahan to learn architecture and decoration techniques, and later went to work at Tehran University.

E'tesami produced a series of architecture projects, detailed maquettes of which were made by himself. On the Iranian Ministry of Fine Arts' request, the maquettes were sent to Brussels' 1958 Universal Exhibition, where Abolhassan E'tesami was awarded the gold medal in the individual presentation category. The maquettes were later bought by the National Museum of Iran, and included in the permanent collection of the Islamic arts division.

In addition to architecture projects, E'tesami left a series of oil on canvas paintings including Some ruins in Dowlat-Abad, A village home in Niavaran, and Pasteur's intercession for Napoleon, and some novels including The left alone man and The malicious Mohil-o-doleh.

William Jennings Bryan (March 19, 1860 – July 26, 1925) was an American politician in the late-19th and early-20th centuries. He was a dominant force in the liberal wing of the Democratic Party, standing three times as its candidate for President of the United States (1896, 1900 and 1908). He served in the United States Congress briefly as a Representative from Nebraska and was the 41st United States Secretary of State under President Woodrow Wilson, 1913-1916. Bryan was a devout Presbyterian, a supporter of popular democracy, an enemy of gold, banks and railroads, a leader of the silverite movement in the 1890s, a peace advocate, a prohibitionist, and an opponent of Darwinism on religious grounds. With his deep, commanding voice and wide travels, he was one of the best known orators and lecturers of the era. Because of his faith in the goodness and rightness of the common people, he was called "The Great Commoner."
In the intensely fought 1896 and 1900 elections, he was defeated by William McKinley but retained control of the Democratic Party. With over 500 speeches in 1896, Bryan invented the national stumping tour, in an era when other presidential candidates stayed home. In his three presidential bids, he promoted Free Silver in 1896, anti-imperialism in 1900, and trust-busting in 1908, calling on Democrats to fight the trusts (big corporations) and big banks, and embrace anti-elitist ideals of republicanism. President Wilson appointed him Secretary of State in 1913, but Wilson's strong demands on Germany after the Lusitania was torpedoed in 1915 caused Bryan to resign in protest.
After 1920 he was a strong supporter of Prohibition and energetically attacked Darwinism and evolution, most famously at the Scopes Trial in 1925. Five days after winning the case, he died in his sleep.

Refugees in Europe: Between Ramadan's dreams and Morin's realism
The refugee crisis in Europe has revived the problems between Muslims and the West.
Fahad Suleiman Shoqiran
The refugee crisis in Europe has revived the problems between Muslims and the West. Discussions on identity, freedom and state-related matters have resurfaced and led to academic debates. Anxiety is developing over this challenge as another identity is taking roots in Europe within a humanitarian context that has the potential to cause a political problem. Resentment over Arab names spreading among newborns has already triggered debate.
Around 3,000 neo-Nazis and extremist right-wing supporters participated a recent protest in Berlin against Chancellor Angela Merkel's open-door policy. The police was expecting few hundred neo-Nazis to participate; however, it was surprised that a lot more attended. This is a major challenge on the ideological, social and political fronts and is bound to be debated across different platforms.
Swiss academic and writer Tariq Ramadan appears on European media outlets as a representative of the "moderate" Islamic view dealing with the problem of refugees and their integration. His views are considered as part of efforts to better understand Islam and resolve the current problems between Muslims and Christians.
I have written many articles on the subject; however the book Au péril des idées (The risking of the ideas) was released last week in Arabic and it's about the dialogue between Ramadan and philosopher Edgar Morin. It's an interesting dialogue between a Muslim jurist and an academic who contemplates about sharia laws and a philosopher who has always raised questions about religion.
In the book, Ramadan displays a range of verbal and semantic diversity. He disagrees with the term "integration" in the context of refugees and instead calls for "rootedness" as it is more appropriate. He feels that younger generations have become French as they speak French and live like the French.
Tariq Ramadan rejects the term "integration" because he believes it does not demonstrate the progress which Muslims have made in Europe by becoming "rooted" in these countries
Ramadan writes: "Muslims' demands that others respect their values, culture, religion and even their memory are legitimate requests. These demands are irrefutable evidence to this historical rootedness. When young men whistle when they hear the French national anthem during a football game against the Algerian team, they're saying in what's certainly a reckless yet clear manner that: Algeria is our origin, history and memory which we are proud of while France is our present and disgrace; and we're whistling to oppose racism!"
Integration vs rootedness
Ramadan's point on rootedness was, however, tarnished by the part on national anthem and racism. When there is uncertainty over the depth of Muslim identity toward the second country, this identity must be the substitute and the more rooted one while confronting speeches like those of Ramadan when he calls for an isolated approach.
Let us take a look at the second generation of refugees of Arab descent in France. We can see that those with a French identity – who understand the significant meaning of the state and who are involved in the secular system – are the most forthcoming when it comes to thanking their country of origin while believing in French values. This can be seen in the dialogues with Zinedine Zidane, the former French national team captain.
Ramadan however speaks of historical legacy and the possibility of racial discrimination. He skips integration and calls for reviving of the old roots in the same text where he speaks about "rootedness" as an alternative to integration.
Edgar Morin responds to Ramadan saying: "A very strong component remains linked in an unspecific period of time to a deep feeling of injustice." The point is that prolonging patterns of injustice and the continuous contemplation in identity-related matters will make refugees go through difficult and unsuccessful experiences and their situation will resemble that of isolated entities in some parts of Europe". This will indeed make integration difficult.
Ramadan rejects the term "integration" because he believes it does not demonstrate the progress which Muslims have made in Europe as they have become "rooted" in these countries. He uses the experience of Arabs in France, particularly those belonging to the second and third generations.
What's more inclusive than integration is "education." Refugees who arrived from Muslim countries were used to receiving education designed to "guard instilled ideas." However there's now an urgent need to adopt an educational system that is based on equality, comparative theology and criticism. Refugees need such approaches. Some high schools for refugees in Germany have already started doing this.
The dialogue between Ramadan and Morin exposes two different mindsets. Morin is a strict, scientific and conceptual philosopher while Ramadan still demands European countries to benefit from "the implementation of Islamic sharia."
This is the tragedy of millions of distressed people and it is further escalating toward the unknown! A century ago, France's great poet Charles Baudelaire wrote: "The poor's bag of money and old homeland...is that hallway open to unknown horizons."

Q: Vue.js $emit Event Triggering But Nothing Happens I'm trying to call an $emit event from a child component in Vue to trigger a function in App.vue. The event is triggering according to the Vue inspector and the DOM inspector shows the DIV is set to trigger on the event, but nothing happens.
I have tried renaming the event, making sure the functions work on a click event, binding to different components and divs, and including no payload with the event. Nothing seems to work. I've tried both Firefox and Chrome and both end with the same result: Called event with nothing happening.
Child component and method

{{data.text}}

clicked(id){
switch(id){
    case 1:
       alert("One");
       break;
    case 2:
        this.$emit('testemit');
        break;
    case 3:
        alert("Three");
        break;
    case 4:
        alert("Four");
        break;
    default:
        alert("DEFAULT");
        break;
    }
}

From App.vue

EmitFunction() {
    alert('MESSAGE');
}

I expect to receive an alert saying 'MESSAGE' when clicking on the second button, however, nothing happens. The three other buttons (1, 3, & 4) work correctly.

A: You need to actually activate an emit and be listening on the parent component, like this:
//app.vue
<template>
  <my-component v-on:testemit="EmitFunction"/>
</template>

and your 'EmitFunction()' is in your methods doing what your 'clicked' is doing.
methods: {
  EmitFunction(id) {
    switch... etc

and in your component...
//myComponent.vue

No reason for the move was given, but the letter stresses that Esdaile will be responsible for overseeing the financial affairs of the Delaware conference, including approving and signing all checks.
Jackson, who ran unsuccessfully for a state House seat last year, said Monday that he was "not at liberty to speak," and referred calls to Esdaile.

Most Android phone users will encounter the same question: when you need to update an app or download something, your phone says you don't have enough storage. When will you have this troubling problem? After you have used the phone for 2 years, you will have insufficient storage. What will you do? Here we will share useful tips for you to free up the space.
Why your Android phone will run out of the storage?
You downloaded and installed apps and kept saving the cache. The Android phone stored all these data so that the storage becomes less and less.
Your favorite content, such as music, movies and images, occupied the Android phone storage.
If you do not clear the old messages and chats in Android phone, it is also possible to cause the phone says you do not have enough storage.
In addition, the insufficient storage will never be caused by only one factor. On the contrary, it is the result of comprehensive factors.
Tip 1: Add a Micro SD card to upgrade the storage capacity.
It is the most directive and effective way to free up the using space. Considering that you have insufficient storage, you can buy a Micro SD card to upgrade the storage capacity. At the same time, you can transfer the apps to the SD card by accessing Settings > Apps >Move to SD Card.
Tip 2: Clear your app cache.
If you already have a SD card and you still worry about the storage issue, you can try this method: clear the app cache. If you never clear the app cache, it will take up your Android phone space as there are more and more caches for your daily visits. For the apps you don't use frequently or will never use again, it is highly recommended that you should delete it to release the storage. For those apps that you need to visit daily, you should clear the cache regularly via Settings>Apps > [Your app] > Clear cache.
Tip 3: Manage the media content.
If you have the Android phone manager, you will know that media content will quickly fill up your phone. As a matter of fact, it is convenient to enjoy the rich media, such as music and videos, on the intelligent mobile phone. However, it will lead to the storage issue sooner or later. Yes, we can take the beautiful pictures with Android phone. But hundreds of pictures will cause the less space for using in Android phone. Therefore, we do not recommend you to download and store the media content, especially the videos, music and images in the Android phone. For your convenience, you can move them to the cloud. There is no doubt that in this way you will gain more free space.
Tip 4:Delete useless files and messages.
Perhaps, for an important meeting, you downloaded the excel files and Word documents in Android phone in case of the data loss. And after that, you take no notice to them on your Android phone. It is what we did at most time. As the phone says you do not have enough storage, it is time to delete all these useless files and messages. For the useless files deletion, you can go to Settings > Storage and check the different categories to find the expired files and clear it. To manage the old messages, it is easier than ever before: open the Messages app and access More > Settings > More settings and turn on Delete old messages.
Tip 5: Factory reset Android phone.
The factory reset will clear all your data on the Android phone so that it can release more space. But you should think twice before doing this action. If all the personal information and downloaded applications are erased and cannot be recovered, would you accept this cost for more storage? Although this is an effective method, we do not recommend you to do that.
In order to keep an eye for the storage, you had better to take advantage of the storage manager and cleaner. If you have installed one, check your phone regularly and make it have enough storage at any time.


Actor Jitin Gulati says he is honoured to portray medieval Indian warrior Maharaja Chhatrasal in a show titled "Chhatrasal", the maiden production venture of Abhuday Grover.
Jitin said: "Apart from it being a great opportunity, it is my absolute honour to bring to screen the legend, Maharaja Chhatrasal."
Grover announced the web show here earlier this week in the presence of Jitin and director Anandii Chaturvedi.
Maharaja Chhatrasal was a medieval Indian warrior of 16th century from the Bundela clan, who fought against the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb, and established his own kingdom in Bundelkhand, becoming the founder of Panna State.
Grover said: "I always wanted to venture into the digital space and with 'Chhatrasal', my dream has come true. I am really excited and thrilled about this debut production venture. I feel blessed to have such an amazing ensemble cast and crew and I am so looking forward for the show to come out this year."
"Chhatrasal" also features Ashutosh Rana as Aurangzeb along with Manish Wadhwa, Manmohan Tiwari, Vaibhavi Shandilya, Anusha Lohar and child actor Rudra Soni in important roles.
Chaturvedi said: "It is an exciting phase for all of us to venture into digital production. Directing something like 'Chhatrasal' is an absolute honour. I am sure that this show will definitely change the dynamics of historical shows on web."
The show is co-directed by Chaturvedi and Bhupesh Sharma. It is produced under the banner of Resonance Digital.


Customer Voice Vol.32 | TOKYO APARTMENT INC.
I moved here because of a new job.
The building is new and very well maintained. Very spacious and well laid out, especially by Tokyo standards! The area is very convenient - less than 10 minutes walk to Ebisu station. The apartment has a gigabit internet connection (important for a geek!).
Tokyo Aprtment Inc. Yamamoto-san was very helpful in getting me set up in Tokyo. He guided me through the process and advised me on what was possible. Being brand new to Tokyo, he had a lot of helpful advice and tips for living in the area. I would send him huge lists of dozens of apartments to check out, and he would gladly crosscheck them to narrow down to the few that were still on the market and available for viewing. I feel very lucky that I was able to secure the apartment I am in because of Yamamoto-san's help.
I am so happy that you really enjoy your new apartment and I am really proud that I have found it! Enjoy your life!!!!
