The Truth In News
Desperate: The View's Joy Behar Wants The Electoral College Changed Because Trump Might Win [VIDEO]
September 10, 2020 by Liberty Bugle Team
The Electoral College is a body of electors established by the United States Constitution, which forms every four years for the sole purpose of electing the president and vice president of the United States. The Electoral College consists of 538 electors, and an absolute majority of at least 270 electoral votes is required to win the election.
And the way we elect our presidents is just fine. Any talk about changing it should be strictly confined to the bar with drinks among colleagues.
Townhall Reports:
There were some troubling trends in this system that was giving the Democrats the advantage in the Electoral College. At the time, it looked as if Florida would be going blue after two cycles and remain that way—giving Democrats a 270+ Electoral College edge before we polling places even opened. And then, Trump nuked the narrative.
Right now, the Left is panicking. We see Biden chasing Trump in Wisconsin. We see the backtracking on certain policy items. The former VP was in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. Those are states you don't visit if you're ten points ahead. The race is closer than what the media clowns are saying. Yet, even these people can be right. "The View's" Joy Behar has a fear that Trump could pull it off. Michael Moore has the same feeling. Yet, the Electoral College comes up because Joy wants to tweak it. She wants a change because… "orange man…bad." I couldn't think of an even worse reason (via The Hill):
TRUMP'S "LAW & ORDER" MESSAGE WORKING? With the presidential election eight weeks out, the co-hosts react to Pres. Trump pushing his "law and order" agenda and question if it will resonate with voters. https://t.co/1091s9WYqN pic.twitter.com/zWb9c7dlgh
— The View (@TheView) September 8, 2020
ABC's "The View" co-host Joy Behar on Tuesday said that the Electoral College should be changed "as soon as possible" amid her fear that President Trump "could pull off" a victory over Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
Behar's perspective comes as polls continue to tighten in key battleground states with the general election just eight weeks away.
The RealClearPolitics average shows Biden has a lead of 3.1 points in the battleground states of Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Florida and Arizona. The average is a drop in support compared to late July, when the former vice president's lead was an average of 6.3 percent in the states.
"I'm worried that Trump could pull this off. We see the polls and we see Biden is leading … but the Russian interference is alive and kicking. Facebook is continuing to leave all the lies on the pages. The Postal Service is being interfered with," Behar, a frequent and ardent Trump critic, said Tuesday.
Okay, well, the Russians are not coming. Facebook is not alt-right. Even Obama thought the Postal Service was a mess. And Joy just gave the best reason not to change the system…because we cannot live in a mob rule state with folks like this. Behar literally made the case to tweak the Electoral College based on conspiracy theories.
In our entire history, only five presidents have won the EC but lost the so-called popular vote. And yet, we're still here. Joy, if Democrats lose to Trump, it'll be because Joe Biden, his running mate, and the liberal agenda suck.
The aura of invincibility we saw from Democrats and liberals over Biden's chances of winning this summer is gone, folks. This race is tighter than the polls suggest, no shocker there, right?

Tesla Has Highest Consumer Loyalty vs Other Car Brands in Norway
For several years now, car dealers in Norway have been leading the industry when it comes to Norwegian customer satisfaction. This year, customer satisfaction for all car dealers participating in the Norwegian Customer Barometer survey falls, with the exception of Tesla.
According to Dagens Nlringsliv, this year Tesla is the only automaker to receive more customer satisfaction than the previous year.
The Norwegian Customer Barometer is a research project at the Norwegian BI Business School, which annually measures satisfaction and loyalty among Norwegian consumers. Customers have the opportunity to express their opinion about the companies from which they buy goods and services.
The survey was conducted by Barcode Intelligence and Norstat Norway in collaboration with the Norwegian School of Management BI. On behalf of the Norwegian Customer Barometer, Norstat asked 6320 consumers how satisfied they are with the companies in which they are regular customers. The data collection period was from January to March 2020.
Tesla began shipping Model 3 to Norway last March. Immediately a new record was set for registering one model per month, crazy 5315 units. In total, about 15,500 new Model 3s were registered last year.

Tesla is the only car brand that does not use advertising, so satisfied customers are very important to them. "The fact that our customers are satisfied with our products and services is what drives our sales, so we are happy with this progress," says Even Sandvold Roland, Information Manager at Tesla Norway.
This year, Tesla was ahead of Toyota and, according to the data, has the most loyal car buyers of all the brands present in the country. The car dealership with the least loyal customers is Nissan.
The Nissan Leaf was a very popular car in Norway, but when competitors come to the country with their electric cars, it is left behind. Nissan won the jackpot, being in the right place at the right time, it had affordable cars when no one had it. That's why they got so big, says Pål Silseth, manager of the Norwegian Customer Barometer.

Michael Bublé announced over Facebook Friday that his son Noah had been diagnosed with cancer and was being treated in the U.S. He said he and his wife were taking a break from work to focus on him. "We have always been very vocal about the importance of family and the love we have for our children," he wrote. "At this difficult time, we ask only for your prayers and respect for our privacy." This means Bublé won't be performing at the BBC Music Awards as previously planned, DJ Steve Wright announced on BBC Radio, according to People. BBC's music director Bob Shennan added, "we send Michael and his family our very best wishes." Bublé was also set to host the Brit Awards and Juno Awards, according to ABC. No word yet as to whether that's still on. We hope the family does whatever they need to get through this difficult time without feeling any pressure from fans.

"Judestjärnan" var en gul Davidsstjärna av tyg som nazisterna tvingade judarna att bära så att de kunde bli identifierade som judar när de vistades utanför bostaden. Lagen som ålade judar att bära den gula stjärnan infördes i Tyskland 1941 och hade sin grund i nürnberglagarna som påbjöd diskriminering efter ras.

Historisk bakgrund
Bakgrunden till utmärkningen kan spåras till muslimska länder under 800-talet då judar och kristna måste ha en speciell markering på klädseln enligt order från abbasiderna.   Motsvarande fenomen kom till Europa på 1000-talet och gällde då för icke-kristna personer. Fjärde laterankonciliet 1215 påbjöd att judar och muslimer i katolska länder skulle diskrimineras och ha en speciell klädselmarkering så att otillåtet umgänge med dem av "falsk tro" skulle hindras. På vissa håll skedde detta med en gul symbol. År 1781 såg Josef II av Österrike till att större religionsfrihet infördes med Toleranspatentet (likt toleransediktet) och denna utmärkning avskaffades i lag, och andra länder följde efter i upplysningstidens anda.

Under nazismen
År 1938 kom den nazistiska regimen med ett dekret som påbjöd judiska affärsinnehavare att märka sina skyltfönster med ordet "jude" eller med en Davidstjärna. Enligt nürnberglagarna skulle företag klassificeras som "judiska" ifall någon jude ägde en viss andel, satt i styrelsen eller hade en ledande post i företaget, och skulle då ha begränsade rättigheter. Senare samma år, den 9 - 10 november, utbröt pogromen "Kristallnatten" då omkring 400 judar mördades och 7500 judiska affärer, tusentals hem, samlingslokaler och 1406 synagogor och bönehus förstördes, och cirka 30 000 judar fördes till koncentrationsläger. Två dagar senare, vid en konferens i Berlin den 12 november, föreslog Reinhard Heydrich att alla judar i riket skulle förpliktigas att bära ett "kännetecken". Märkningen infördes året efter i det nyligen invaderade Polen; 1939 beordrade den tyske generalguvernören för Polen att alla polska judar över tolv års ålder skulle bära en armbindel med en blå Davidstjärna.

Den gula "judestjärnan" infördes i Tyskland 1941. Den 1 september detta år ålade Polisförordningen om kännetecken för judar (ty: Polizeiverordnung über die Kennzeichnung der Juden) alla judar i Tyska riket (Nazityskland) över sex år att bära en "judestjärna" väl synlig vid vänstra bröstsidan på klädesplagget. De skulle själva tillverka den enligt föreskrift. Strax efter att lagen införts i Tyska riket kom den även att gälla i Slovakien. Lagen kom att tillämpas i de flesta av Tyskland ockuperade och med Tyskland lierade länder. Den tyska myndigheten för "judefrågan", Judenreferat, under ledning av Adolf Eichmann, lät införa lagen i hela Västeuropa i mars 1942. Den infördes i Holland, Belgien, Bulgarien, i den ockuperade delen av Frankrike samt i Tunisien; 1943 infördes den i Grekland och 1944 i Ungern.

I några rumänska städer och områden (bl.a. Bessarabien) ålades judar att bära "judestjärnan" men landets antisemitiske diktator Ion Antonescu införde inte märket i landet. Den franska Vichyregimen vägrade också införa "judestjärnan", men införde, på eget initiativ, årsskiftet 1942/43 en lag som tvingade judarna att stämpla alla sina identitetshandlingar, arbetstillstånd och ransoneringskort med ordet Juif (sv: jude). Judestjärnan infördes aldrig i Danmark eftersom tyskarna bedömde att allmänhetens motstånd mot detta var för starkt.

Restaurants in 2030: More Tech, Less People, Lots of Unknowns
As we enter a new decade, the industry barrels toward increased technology, a smaller, older workforce, and some seismic shifts caused by not-so-futuristic disruptors.
Customer Experience | November 2019 | Rachel Pittman
istockphoto / filadendron
This past decade was one of serious innovation for restaurants. Don't expect the next 10 years to be any different.
By 2030, our human population will be smaller and older.
According to the recently released National Restaurant Association "Restaurant Industry 2030" report, from 2000–2010, Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data reports that the U.S. population grew at a rate of 0.9 percent. From 2018–2030, the BLS and NRA project that annual figure to be 0.7 percent.
Furthermore, in 2010, only about 13 percent of the population was aged 65 and older. In 2020, the BLS and NRA project that same group will make up about 17 percent. By 2030, it will figure 21 percent. In 10 years' time, the slices of the population occupied by those under 25 and those aged 25-44 will drop one full percentage point, from 31 to 30 percent and 27 to 26 percent, respectively.
A shrinking, aging population of American people will lead to a 2030 foodservice workforce that's feeling the same effects.
Ten years will have the opposite effect on tech, however.
The NRA's report used the Delphi method—a forecasting approach based on the results of rounds of questionnaires sent to a panel of experts—to predict the most likely developments for the foodservice industry by 2030. Out of the top five forecasted developments, three center around updated and increasing technology: Commonplace acceptance of mobile payment; widespread handheld payment terminals that allow for payment at table; and a majority of takeout and delivery orders placed digitally. Out of the 25 total top NRA forecasts, close to 50 percent (12) have a tech focus.
This combination of workforce and tech projections has some interesting implications for the foodservice industry, to put it lightly. Automation could make up for less-available human labor. Employees (older as whole in 2030) will more than likely need to bolster up tech skills to handle operational changes that rely heavily on digital literacy. A handful of other probable shifts and possible disruptors is also waiting down the pipeline, leaving the years between today and 2030 as a blank canvas ready for the foodservice industry to grapple with a slimmer workforce, wider base of technology, and bevvy of other changing circumstances.
What will the workforce look like in 10 years? That might depend on the restaurant industry cementing its status as a good career choice.
A shifting workforce
At the top of the NRA list of most likely industry structure developments is the prediction of upped competition for customers. Competition for good labor on the part of operators is bound to intensify as well.
Per BLS data, as of September 2019, the U.S. was in the longest uninterrupted streak of job growth on record, looking back on a consecutive 108 months of increase. Yet, while growth has occurred for the U.S. job market, the amount of that growth has been minimal. Even with this streak, the decade stretching from 2010 to 2020 is on pace to be the second-weakest for job expansion since the 1930s.
The NRA expects job growth to slow even more over the next decade. From 2010–2018, the BLS reports that employment grew at 1.7 percent annually; from 2018–2030, the NRA projects this to fall one percentage point to 0.7 percent. Per that rate of growth, about 17.2 million restaurant and foodservice jobs are expected to exist in 2030.
Tight workforce expansion is a harbinger of a negatively growing economy, and it could be difficult for operators to provide workers with higher wages and enough hours during these periods. But higher wages, better working conditions, and more developed internal career ladders will be necessary for attracting 2030's talent.
"To reach its 2030 potential, the restaurant industry needs to enhance its status as a good career choice," an anonymous Delphi panelist said.
Thanks to the potential upcoming slow in population growth and change in age demographics, the workforce will grow modestly over the next 12 years (the NRA projects a rate of 0.5 percent). A demographic shift in the ages of laborers—the BLS predicts that employees 65 and older will be at a record high with 16.1 million of them in the workforce, with teenage employees at the lowest since 1963, with 5.1 million in the workforce—will mean that available employees will be searching for more careers, and for less part-time high school or college jobs.
The NRA's Delphi panel predicts an increase in total employee compensation costs by 2030. As of July 1, 2019, the U.S. Department of Labor reports 30 states with minimum wage requirements higher than the federal per-hour standard of $7.25, and this group of states could increase by 2030. It almost surely will. The NRA report forecasts that labor levels in the foodservice industry will remain intensive, even with increased automation and tech, meaning pay will have to account for this intensity.
Some good news for operators: The NRA's Delphi panel predicts an overall decrease of the average number of employees per unit, meaning that, while wage costs will most likely be higher, there will be less team members in need of a paycheck.
"Employers are likely to use compensation and benefits to attract new talent. Technology skills will be needed to ensure the staff is able to deal with automation and robotics, data analytics, and more," the NRA report said.
The association's Delphi panel expects a rise in fresh formats like virtual restaurants and ghost kitchens, and predicts that off-premises traffic will post stronger growth in 2030 than on-premises dining.
Other labor force changes coming up in 2030 include increased diversity. The restaurant industry already performs well when it comes to employing women and minority managers, but NRA's Delphi panel expects to see both women and minorities in a larger proportion of upper management positions in 10 years' time.
These future hiring patterns reflect an increasingly diversified U.S. population in 2030. According to U.S. Census Bureau predictions, white populations are expected to decrease from 59.7 percent of 2020's population to 55.8 percent in 2030; African-American populations are expected to rise from 13.4 percent (2020) to 13.8 percent (2030); Asian populations will increase from 6 percent (2020) to 6.9 percent (2030); and Latinos will represent 21.1 percent of the population in 2030, up from 18.7 percent in 2020.
Amped-up tech
In 2019, the foodservice industry is in the process of widening its digital footprint and technological capabilities. In 2030, it will still be growing, but the technological moves made will have already changed the landscape of the industry significantly.
Tech is projected to alter the very core of the business, playing with the structure in ways that will require operators to be more agile than ever before. "As restaurants shift away from the traditional, operators must be nimble. Constant innovation and speed-to-market will help restaurants thrive as they serve guests where and when they want to be served," the NRA's report said.
The association's Delphi panel expects a rise in fresh formats like virtual restaurants and ghost kitchens, and predicts that off-premises traffic will post stronger growth in 2030 than on-premises dining. These developments will bring with them a new, hybrid restaurant model, one that mixes full-service, fast-casual, and quick-serve styles with ultimate carryout and delivery convenience, with more restaurants dedicating specific areas to delivery and takeout.
"Restaurant physical spaces will be smaller, requiring less square footage due to the increase in delivery and takeout," an anonymous Delphi panelist said.
Supply chain operations will most likely rely on machines over people, with most cases of ingredients shipped equipped with a barcode for easy monitoring, and food safety will be increasingly monitored by technology as well. Computerized cooking equipment is forecast to play a larger role in kitchens, leading to back-of-house operations that are more heavily automated (resulting in that decreased number of average employees per location). This will not only change the layout and labor elements of a concept, but could also lead to faster prep times.
More ghost kitchens? We wouldn't bet against it.
And automation won't be reserved for back-of-house only. In addition to increased mobile payments, handheld payment terminals, and digital orders, 2030 should see a boost in kiosks and video menuboards in limited-service spaces, and more training is likely to take place through smartphones and the Internet. With operators seeking tech-savvy employees in 2030, it only makes sense that new training methods will be set in place that help bulk up that digital skillset as well as teach basic operational and customer service knowledge.
In terms of customer interface, the foodservice industry is expected to work to keep up with 2030's consumers as new, better technology emerges on both sides of the restaurant counter, for employee and guest. The NRA Delphi panel predicts that brands will be more likely to use videos frequently to market their restaurants to customers, and also points ahead to increased availability of customer loyalty programs and frequent-diner databases, used as online advertising and brand promotion. And these tech updates won't only benefit the consumer—brands are expected to leverage customer databases and point-of-sale data into actionable knowledge to improve margins and better target guests.
"Data budgets will likely surpass today's marketing budgets for most restaurants," an unnamed Delphi participant added.
There's another side to this digital customer-engagement coin, however. Delphi experts find it less likely that customers will embrace data collection in everyday restaurant experiences, predicting that only a modest group of consumers will give permission for brands to gather information. Furthermore, the federal government is predicted to enact a new crop of data-privacy rules that will further regulate how businesses can handle gathered consumer data.
The NRA panel also projects that restaurants will be more susceptible to negative social media as digital footprints begin to replace physical footprints entirely.
Other industry updates
There's a catalogue of other developments collected by the NRA's Delphi panel for 2030, with most touching on menu- and sustainability-related categories, and all reflecting an industry that's transforming at lightning speed.
"Restaurants have become a now industry," the NRA report said. "The only constant as we look toward 2030 will be the speed of change and the hyper-competition the restaurant and foodservice industry will face."
Facing ever-tighter margins and intense competition for a shrinking customer base, operators in 2030 will be searching for ways to up efficiency in all categories, and this includes what's on the menu. While tech will be implemented in various areas of the back- and front-of-house to simplify operations, a cleaner, leaner index of ingredients will be put in place to streamline food and beverage.
In 2030, the NRA and BLS estimate that customers will spend around $1.2 trillion on the restaurant industry in total, up from $833 billion in 2018.
Comfort foods will likely still be in demand regardless of nutritional information, but the Delphi panel expects restaurants to offer more healthy options, clean ingredients such as fresh produce, and locally sourced foods. Customers will increasingly ask for allergen and sourcing information, while sporting more sophisticated palates, and plant-based alternatives are expected to reach new popularity.
Overall, a dual focus on high nutritional value and simple, straightforward foods is expected to emerge. "Tighter margins are the new norm. How do we run even leaner? Simple, good menus are the future," an anonymous Delphi expert says.
Another key area of concern for foodservice brands 10 years from now? Sustainability. As the environment becomes a priority for more customers, the Delphi experts predict that sustainability will be integrated into every aspect of restaurant operations in 2030, from the widespread addition of energy-efficient equipment to sustainably-sourced menu items to eco-friendly restaurant designs and the implementation of recycling programs in-unit. More restaurants are expected to do away with single-use packaging, and it will be commonplace for restaurant operators to promote their sustainability practices and efforts in marketing to consumers.
A shift to energy- and water-saving, waste-minimizing construction is also expected. This shift will be aided by the lessened footprint of most restaurants that the increase in off-premises dining will likely cause—the hybrid model many brands will be experimenting with in 2020 will require less physical space, pushing into a virtual landscape instead.
Chick-fil-A / Stanley Leary
Humans versus robots is a debate the industry isn't done having. Not even close.
The changes in workforce, tech, menu, sustainability, and other areas that the Delphi panel experts named most likely to occur over the next 10 years are not the only industrial shifts on the docket. A set of potential developments also hangs in the divide between 2020 and 2030, and though these disruptors are less certain, if brought to fruition they could levy seismic shifts on the industry as a whole.
The NRA partnered with a team of futurists from Foresight Alliance, a forward-focused consulting firm, to outline 10 prospective disruptors for the next decade—some of which are already growing legs in 2019.
Intelligent restaurants arise, featuring full integration with a network of apps, services, and personal AI assistants that enables real-time interaction.
Relying on an already-present, near-universal adoption of smartphones, integration of AI interactions between brand and customers, spread of physical objects embedded with tech, and growth of voice search, personalized diets, and consumer choices as an expression of values, intelligent restaurants would reimagine the brand-customer experience as one more heavily reliant on tech.
Intelligent units would feature up-to-the-minute, changing menuboards and prices, voice demand ordering through AI assistants, and increased consumer data for brands collected during the ordering process. These restaurants are more than an outlandish imagining; McDonald's doubled down on AI twice in 2019 with the purchases of both AI personalization company Dynamic Yield and voice-based tech company Apprente, suggesting a sooner-rather-than-later arrival date for this model with a potential extension into drive thru as well.
Virtual restaurants and cloud-based kitchens take off, giving "placeless" brands a spot in the industry.
In 2030, the NRA and BLS estimate that customers will spend around $1.2 trillion on the restaurant industry in total, up from $833 billion in 2018. With heightened demand and a smaller workforce, ghost or cloud kitchens—commercial kitchens without dine-in spaces that allow various brands to prep delivery orders without the interruption of a regular unit's operations.
Some existing brands are already implementing ghost kitchens into their models, but other concepts exist only through cloud kitchens, and this is what futurists are calling out as a could-be disruptor for the next decade. New brands could pop up swiftly and simply with the one-fold construction of a single kitchen and all branding, marketing, and menus built through websites and social media. Furthermore, surprise pop-up versions of future online-only kitchens could generate new revenues for these virtual restaurants as well as provide digital natives with a special dining experience.
Domino's is already testing self-driving vehicles.
Third-party delivery apps challenge customer loyalty for individual brands, allowing off-premises digital ordering to eclipse customer interface with restaurants.
Third-party delivery is booming—online data portal Statista estimates that revenues from online food delivery total more than $107, 400 million in 2019, and expect an annual growth rate for online ordering of 9.9 percent from now through 2023.
Purchasing meals via app offers customers frictionless ordering and payment options, and the NRA and Foresight futurists recommend that brands look for creative ways to either partner with or compete with third-party channels in the next decade.
"Start-up independent restaurants could find opportunities in wholesaling to delivery apps," the NRA report says. "An industry-financed delivery app could preserve restaurants' direct brand relationships with customers."
Autonomous vehicles change how people receive their food, and how they eat on-the-go.
While full integration of driverless vehicles could take more than one decade, the rumblings of driverless robot delivery vehicles are already being heard in foodservice. Domino's Pizza is testing out self-driving robot delivery vehicles in Houston this year, with the brand looking ahead to a full incorporation of the driverless tech in the near future, and Uber Eats tested food delivery via drone in San Diego this summer and also announced a partnership with Volvo that will power a self-driving SUV.
A full rollout of autonomous vehicles will also impact the way drivers eat—with more time on their hands for eating (quite literally) that used to be occupied with a steering wheel, consumers could increase their on-the-go food and beverage orders.
Obviously, there are still legal- and safety-centric wrinkles to be ironed out in within the realm of driverless cars, but the NRA suggests that brands that get involved in the movement early will be ahead of the game when driver-free vehicles eventually hit the roads.
Non-food, big tech companies begin selling food and prepared meals.
Increased online retail options, added low-friction buying options (like Amazon's One-Click), and new expectations from 2030's crop of digital native consumers are some of the ingredients that could bring about a new stake in the foodservice industry occupied by non-food companies.
It's already possible to order groceries from Amazon, but the brand and others like it could add prepared meals to its offerings by 2030. The NRA report predicts the potential involvement of streaming services as well—these services could partner with delivery companies already in existence to offer all-encompassing, entertainment-and-dining subscriptions.
Restaurants could capitalize on this innovation, too, looking for new ways to partner with bigger companies pushing into the food space. "Restaurants could move beyond current loyalty or rewards programs and offer flat-rate monthly subscription plans to customers," the report says.
Foodservice integrates robots and automation into all areas of food prep and kitchen lines, creating the "bionic restaurant."
In keeping with evolving front-of-house automation like order kiosks, the Foresight futurists see a possible largescale shift to automation and robots in back-of-house operations, too.
Some restaurants are already using robots for food prep in 2019, but, by 2030, technology could progress to a point where even motion-capture replication of the movements of chefs is on the table for machinery.
One variable in the totally-automated kitchens of the future? Human staff. Chefs and other kitchen employees will need to develop the skills and comfort level necessary to deal with automation and robots in the back of a unit, and with 2030's expected smaller, older workforce, large groups of tech-savvy employees could be hard to come by.
A decline of shopping malls and brick-and-mortar retail shops leads to restaurants as the centers of socialization, creating an influx of food halls and food markets.
Statista expects retail e-commerce sales worldwide to double between 2018 and 2023, with total sales surpassing $6.5 trillion in 2023. As online shopping skyrockets and, subsequently, shopping malls and brick-and-mortar stores close their doors, and as off-premises dining grows, consumers could be searching for different social spaces to connect with others or work remotely. Food halls and street-food-style markets could fill this need.
"Growth in takeout and food delivery will increase the importance of the face-to-face restaurant experience," the NRA report projects. Furthermore, the format of food halls and markets caters to culinary diversity and exploration, an element that will become more important in future years as foodie culture becomes mainstream.
Unpredictable, volatile weather drives up food costs and interrupts agriculture and food distribution.
One of the most foreboding forecasts for the next 10 years in foodservice is also a circumstance that's more difficult to control. As the global temperatures and weather become more volatile, and as the availability of water potentially shifts, too, growing patterns of staple and specialty crops could be disturbed, driving up food costs and possibly adding new taxes on energy used or carbon emitted during production methods and transportation.
While these unpredictable weather-related shifts could change the very fabric of the industry, one possible partial remedy could be the perfection of plant-based and lab-grown meats, as well as increased consumer enthusiasm for these alternatives.
AI pushes into the culinary space, bringing about unexpected food and beverage experiences generated by a tech knowledge of cooking techniques, food chemistry, ingredients, and recipes.
An even more sophisticated technological iteration than back-of-house robotics, culinary AI has the potential to not only simplify operations and cut down on staff needed, but also to add a new wing of taste exploration to everyday restaurant operations.
The NRA predicts that specific AI's could become as well-known as famed human chefs or bartenders, with restaurants able to leverage these AI assistants 24/7 availability and endless energy to offer up new, exploratory recipes in food and beverage.
In addition to creating entirely new categories of cuisine, these non-human chefs would have the ability to run at multiple locations simultaneously, allowing any number of restaurants with the necessary software capabilities to utilize their in-human amounts of kitchen knowledge.
Medical meals are embraced by an aging population, creating a new emphasis on functional foods.
The NRA's final disruptor of note deals directly with the rising number of people 65 and older in the U.S. population; as Americans age, food could become a weapon against lifestyle diseases like obesity and diabetes. And with the foodservice industry already moving into healthier, fresher menu trends, functional food could be a more widespread way of dealing with ailments in 2030.
In some cases, meals may even be prescribed by doctors, featuring ingredients personalized for individual states of health, diets, and outcomes. "Prescription meals will be more precisely targetable with a growing understanding of how food can impact gut microbes or activate gene traits," the NRA report reads.

Die Gedenkstätte Bautzen, , ist ein Ort des Gedenkens an die Opfer der beiden Gefängnisse Bautzen I und Bautzen II. Sie befindet sich seit 1993 im Gebäude der ehemaligen Sonderhaftanstalt Bautzen II ("Stasi-Knast"), im Bautzener Stadtteil Nordostring. Die Gedenkstätte ist Arbeitsstelle der Stiftung Sächsische Gedenkstätten zur Erinnerung an die Opfer politischer Gewaltherrschaft.

Geschichte
1992 wurde die Haftanstalt Bautzen II aufgrund ihrer besonderen Bedeutung als Ort politischer Haft geschlossen. Vor allem der Initiative und Hartnäckigkeit ehemaliger Bautzen-I- und -II-Häftlinge, die 1990 das "Bautzen-Komitee" gegründet hatten, ist die Einrichtung der Gedenkstätte zu verdanken.

Am 12. Juli 1991 stellte die CDU-Fraktion des Sächsischen Landtages nach einem Besuch vor Ort im Landtag den Antrag auf "Einrichtung einer Gedenkstätte für die Opfer des Kommunismus und Sozialismus in der JVA Bautzen". Die im Weiteren in der früheren MfS-Sonderhaftanstalt Bautzen II einzurichtende Gedenkstätte sollte "sowohl als Ort des Gedenkens als auch als Museum und Begegnungsstätte dienen". Am 16. Juli 1993 ersuchte der Sächsische Landtag auf Antrag der Fraktion Bündnis 90/Die Grünen die Staatsregierung, sich weiter für die Errichtung der "Gedenkstätte für die Opfer der kommunistischen und sozialistischen Diktatur und politischer Justiz in der ehemaligen Sonderhaftanstalt des MfS 'Bautzen II'" einzusetzen. Ihr Charakter und Zustand sollten dabei weitestgehend erhalten bleiben.

Nach ihrer Gründung im Februar 1994 übernahm die Stiftung Sächsische Gedenkstätten den weiteren Auf- und Ausbau der Gedenkstätte. Die in ihrem Auftrag erarbeitete Konzeption, die nunmehr ausdrücklich auch die Erinnerung an das Unrecht der NS-Diktatur und seine Opfer sowie die Dokumentation der Geschichte des Gefängnisses Bautzen I als Aufgabe formulierte, wurde im April 1997 von den Stiftungsgremien zur Umsetzung empfohlen. Die Gedenkstätte Bautzen hat den umfassenden und schwierigen Auftrag, die Geschichte von zwei sehr unterschiedlichen Haftanstalten in drei Verfolgungsperioden – der nationalsozialistischen Diktatur, der Zeit der sowjetischen Besatzungsmacht und der SED-Diktatur – an einem historischen Ort aufzuarbeiten und zu dokumentieren.

Leiterin der Gedenkstätte ist seit 1999 Silke Klewin.

Dauerausstellung
In der Gedenkstätte Bautzen gibt es drei Ausstellungsräume, in denen die einzelnen Verfolgungsperioden in den Bautzener Gefängnissen und eine Chronik der Haftanstalten dargestellt werden.

Chronik der Bautzener Gefängnisse. 1904–2000
Chronikartig wird die Geschichte von Bautzen I (1904 bis 1990) und Bautzen II (1906 bis 1992) sowie der Gedenkstätte in Bautzen (1990 bis 2000) dokumentiert. Der Schwerpunkt liegt auf einer zeitlichen Einordnung der wesentlichen Entwicklungsetappen beider Gefängnisse, die mit zahlreichen Fotos illustriert werden.

Geschichte des Speziallagers Bautzen. 1945–1956

Anhand von 42 ausgewählten Häftlings-Biographien wird die Geschichte des sowjetischen Speziallagers in Bautzen I erzählt. Den Lebensläufen sind zahlreiche Originalgegenstände aus der Haftzeit zugeordnet. Ein Modell des Lagers illustriert die damaligen räumlichen Verhältnisse. Zudem werden die wenigen überlieferten zeitgenössischen Fotos sowie eine kurze Filmsequenz gezeigt. Neben dem Ausstellungsraum wird dem Besucher eine nach den Schilderungen ehemaliger Häftlinge erstellte Zellenrekonstruktion gezeigt, die auch betreten werden kann.

Stasi-Gefängnis Bautzen II. 1956–1989
Die Ausstellung ist in acht thematische Abschnitte unterteilt. Sie dokumentieren die gesamte Geschichte von Bautzen II als Sonderhaftanstalt der Staatssicherheit: von der Verhaftung und Einweisung, den Alltag der Gefangenen, das Personal, die Abschirmung der Haftanstalt von der Öffentlichkeit bis hin zur Entlassung der politischen Gefangenen 1989/90. Neben zahlreichen Exponaten gibt es Ton- und Filmdokumente von Schauprozessen sowie Zeitzeugenschilderungen über die Haft. "Ziel der Ausstellung ist die Offenlegung der verhängnisvollen Repressionsstrukturen, die das System von Verfolgung und Ausgrenzung in der DDR charakterisieren." Ergänzt wird die Ausstellung durch vierzig im Haus verteilte Glasstelen: 20 markieren und erläutern verschiedene historische Orte, 20 weitere stellen Häftlings-Biographien vor.

Nationalsozialistischer Strafvollzug in Bautzen. 1933–1945
Anhand der Schilderung des Strafvollzuges in den Vereinigten Strafanstalten, d. h. Bautzen I und Bautzen II, sollen die wesentlichen Merkmale des nationalsozialistischen Strafvollzuges dargestellt werden. Bautzen gehörte zu den reichsweit fünf größten Gefängnissen und verfügte bis 1939 über eine eigenständige Abteilung für den Jugendstrafvollzug, der sich unter den völkischen und rassischen Vorstellungen der Nationalsozialisten grundlegend veränderte. Gegen Kriegsende gab es mehrere Außenarbeitslager der Haftanstalt.

Wechselausstellungen
Neben den ständigen Sammlungen zeigt die Gedenkstätte abwechselnd Ausstellungen zu historischen Themen, die im Zusammenhang mit den Bautzener Gefängnissen stehen.

Es folgt eine Auswahl vergangener Wechselausstellungen:

Bildungsangebote

Die Gedenkstätte Bautzen bietet eine Überblicksführung an, sowie Schwerpunkt-Führungen zu den Themen "Speziallager Bautzen. 1945–1956", "Stasi-Gefängnis Bautzen II. 1956–1989", "Walter Kempowski im Speziallager" und "Spurensuche" (eine Kombination aus Projektarbeit und geführtem Rundgang).

Weiterhin besteht für Schulklassen die Möglichkeit an Schülerprojekten teilzunehmen, in denen sie sich selbstständig Wissen zu Themen wie der politischen Justiz im Nationalsozialismus, der Geschichte des sowjetischen Speziallagers Bautzen oder der friedlichen Revolution in Bautzen aneignen.

Darüber hinaus finden in der Gedenkstätte Veranstaltungen verschiedener Art statt, dazu zählen Theater- und Filmaufführungen, Konzerte, Podiumsgespräche und Buchvorstellungen. Die Gedenkstätte führt außerdem Fortbildungen durch und vermittelt auf Anfrage Zeitzeugen.

Die Gedenkstätte Bautzen verfügt über eine Präsenzbibliothek und ein Dokumenten- und Fotoarchiv, welche auf Nachfrage für Recherchen genutzt werden können.

Nunavut and Greenland start Kane Bay polar bear survey
"This collaborative effort that will help us better understand and sustainably manage this shared polar bear population"
By NUNATSIAQ NEWS
A study of the Kane Basin polar bear sub-population kicked off April 23 in collaboration with the Greenland Institute of Natural Resources, the Government of Nunavut said April 24.
The Kane Basin polar bear sub-population is a small population of polar bears that is managed jointly by Nunavut and Greenland.
A study conducted between 1993 and 1997 suggests the numbers of this population may be declining, but there is a need for more up to date information, the GN said.
"I am very pleased to announce this collaborative effort that will help us better understand and sustainably manage this shared polar bear population," said the Honourable James Arreak, Nunavut's minister of Environment.
Arreak and Greenland Minister Ane Hansen say they will keep Nunavummiut and Kalaallit in Greenland informed about the survey.
The planned three-year study is part of the management strategy set out by the Canada-Greenland Joint commission, set up with the Canada-Greenland Memorandum of Understanding in 2009.
The study will investigate the population size and status by means of a genetic mark-recapture method, which uses analyses of hair samples instead of repeated drugging, sampling and tagging.
The Kane Bay survey will coincide with another one scheduled for this fall in the neighboring Baffin Bay.
There, in addition to genetic mark-recapture work, researchers will use more traditional mark-recapture methods to collect data from "a small number" of collared and ear-tagged bears in Kane Basin to determine the geographic range of the subpopulation, the GN said.

These Were The Five Best And Worst Performing Mid-Cap Stocks In September 2022
Aman Jain
Mid-cap stocks are a good choice for investors who are okay with relatively more volatility to get some extra returns. Mid-cap stocks are more volatile than their large-cap counterparts, but have the potential to offer higher returns as well.
Historically also, mid-cap stocks have usually performed better than the large-cap stocks. Let's take a look at the five best and worst performing mid-cap stocks in September 2022.

Monday 28th March 2016 marked the arrival of the Star Wars BB-8 ANA Jet in Los Angeles International Airport. The third and final of the three Star Wars Jets from ANA is a 777, painted in the colours of the newest droid to the Star Wars franchise, BB-8.
Like the other Star Wars Jets by ANA, the final and largest of the three aircraft also features a specially branded interior as well as the exterior. The interior of the BB-8™ ANA Jet features specially-designed BB-8 paper cups and headrest covers, and cabin attendants will wear BB-8 aprons.
The BB-8™ ANA JET is scheduled to fly various international routes, principally routes linking Tokyo and the US including Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Washington D.C., and Houston.
We've always loved the ANA Star Wars Jets, and this final one, may not be as instantly recognised as the R2-D2 stalwart, but is equally as impressive, and a rare sight to behold. We can't wait to peek a glimpse at any of the three up close and personal.

Hastings Direct, in partnership with LoveLocalJobs.com and Humanutopia launched the Be the Change programme to 70 Leicester students this week.
Students from Manor High School, Welland Park Community College, Hamilton Community College and Madani Schools Federation came together at the Curve Theatre to join representatives from Hastings Direct and the partnering companies, to be part of thought provoking and at times emotional, discussions on overcoming behavioural obstacles to positively shape and mould their future.
Hastings Direct Group CEO, Gary Hoffman addressed the students at the beginning of the day, sharing his own experiences from his time at school and discussing the life and career choices he took.
Bringing their own experiences to the day by providing support and offering personal anecdotes to the students, 27 business mentors from Hastings Direct began their journey as Be The Change volunteers. Over the coming months, the business volunteers will meet the students to encourage further understanding on developing life skills to take forward into work life.
Andrea Gray, Operations Director, Hastings Direct said; "The Be the Change launch has been an amazing event – to see so many teenagers find their voice and speak up amongst their peers has been a humbling experience. To witness them realise their own potential through behavioural choices further highlighted that they are in control of their future. As employers, we know the importance of having the inner confidence and belief in order to grab opportunities and work in a team. Hastings Direct's 27 business mentors were also honoured to be part of such a transformational day, being there to help the young adults by giving anecdotal advice on career and life development."
The Be the Change education programme aims to raise the aspirations of year 9 students (aged 13-14), helping them to remove barriers that may make them disengaged at school and provide them with life skills to take into the future.
Speaking directly to the students throughout the launch day, Graham Moore, Co-Founder, Humanutopia reflected; "Launching Be the Change to students in Leicester today has been an amazing experience. Their engagement in the programme produced immediate results in students' confidence and self-awareness. They are a credit to their schools and community. It was a pleasure to once again work with business volunteers from Hastings Direct who further enriched the experience of the students with their commitment, professionalism and a real duty of care to the young people in their community."
Rosanna Farrar, Head of Partnership and Events, LoveLocalJobs.com said; "Seeing the impact of Be the Change on 70 students in Leicester was incredible. Looking around the room towards the end of the day, there was not one student who wasn't engaged, contemplating their future and seriously considering the fact that they themselves have the power to make positive changes in order to be successful and happy in life. We are delighted to once again be working with Humanutopia and Hastings Direct to deliver such a powerful initiative."

HOLLAND PHILLIPS, A Momentary Pause
In any other year, a review of A Momentary Pause, the latest transcendent album by Holland Phillips, would focus on his early projects in the 90s and how incredibly prolific the multi-talented composer, pianist and keyboardist has been since launching the second phase of his career in the genre in 2014 with Redemption.
Since then, he's released projects at a torrid pace, earning airplay on New Age stations, sleep radio, airline in-flight programs and even TV and film. He's also racked up an impressive stream of accolades reflecting his range of styles, including nominations and wins for Contemporary Instrumental Album of the Year (three times), Piano with Instrumentation Album of the Year (2018), Song of the Year (2016-17), Best Electronic Album of the Year (2015) and Album of the Year (2014, 2020).
Phillips' history is expansive and inspiring, yet in this strange alt-reality of 2020, when we're collectively dealing with radical lifestyle shifts, fear and anxiety about the future on an unprecedently level, what truly matters is that Phillips is using his music to meet this unique moment in extraordinary ways. Although his melodic and sweeping blend of piano, synth atmospheres, uplifting guitar and flute textures and seductive, easy flowing rhythms seems designed to help us meditate and find peace in the midst of our trials, the title A Momentary Pause really gets to the heart of the matter. For better or worse, the normal flow of our lives is on pause, but the time away from the usual hustle and bustle can also be a time to rethink, refocus and re-center our life and spiritual intentions as we embrace the future.
"I think this album is two things," Phillips says. "It's a natural progression technically from my previous albums and also a little deeper than those because of the times we are all in. There was no way to avoid seeing it everywhere, from the lack of people out and about to the lack of planes in the sky, to the fear on the faces of those I spoke with. Since it was all-enveloping, it naturally came out in the music I was creating – and I was creating a lot of it because there was so little else to do."
While most of Phillips' recordings follow a certain narrative because the music reflects aspects of his life during the period of recording, A Momentary Pause is a bit different. He had a good portion of the songs completed before the pandemic hit – and when the shutdown happened, he wrote another full album of material driven by the emotions of the time. Ultimately, he used a few songs from before and the majority from the early days of the shutdown. The overall effect finds him succeeding spectacularly in achieving his goal to create an album "you could listen to alone, and one that reflected the wide range of emotions that were floating around during that period, like snapshots of the times we're in."
The "alone" aspect he mentions is intriguing, because pieces like the mystical and gently atmospheric opener "Upon Awakening" and the lyrical, piano and atmosphere driven 'Whispers" truly seem designed (if you put them on repeat, as you should) for periods of thoughtful contemplation and meditation. Phillips often uses titles as subtle suggestions to help guide us – as on the free-flowing, easy rolling reminder to recall "Our Sweeter Days"; a moment of whimsical imagination embracing "Stepping Stones" out of the darkness with a spirited violin-synth atmosphere dance; and the eloquent and purposeful guitar-piano blend encouraging us to start "Dreaming on Ice."
Other titles mirror exactly what Phillips is doing musically – most specifically "Study of Patterns," which launches from a hypnotic piano motif before aiming skyward, and creating a sweet and soothing symphonic closing lullaby with "Bedtime Prayers." One might think the title track "A Momentary Pause" would be a staid, quiet affair, but he makes it a lighthearted, movement filled track full of great hope and optimism – and some of his most engaging piano work on the album.
"I think this music helps people feel better, daydream more, and supports them and supports them in remembering things they may have forgotten," Phillips says. "And with the pandemic, I think we could all spend some time feeling better and thinking about better days. I've always believed that music is a universal language, one that can help us feel better about ourselves. I've also always believed that music can also help create positive thoughts, good feelings and happy daydreams if crafted specifically for that purpose – which is usually on my mind all the way through the creative process. I hope that the music here brings a good memory to someone's mind and a little smile when there's no other reason to have one."


NTU's School of Art & Design recently hosted the first Cumulus Association biannual conference of 2016, In this Place, welcoming to Nottingham over 300 delegates from educational institutions from 43 different countries across the world.
Over the course of five days, In this Place addressed the importance of 'place' and how it impacts the way in which we generate ideas, create, and design. The aim of the conference was to create lasting impact in design and design education.
The conference welcomed keynote speakers including Dr Daniel Glaser, Director of the Science Gallery London, who focused on the design of new spaces where people from different backgrounds can engage and where art and science can collide. NTU Fine Art alumnus Wolfgang Buttress and NTU physicist Dr Martin Bencsik presented 'The Hive: creating the UK Pavilion for the 2015 Milan Expo'.
The conference programme gave delegates the opportunity to work in smaller groups, collecting and distributing information about each other's research and academic activities in specific fields.
Conference delegate, Wang Baosheng, Assistant Professor at Hunan University in China, said: "Attending the conference was a great experience. It was my first visit to the UK and I was impressed with the rich and exotic cultural heritage in Nottingham. The conference was well organised by the committee, bringing together great innovative minds from across the world. It was also my great honour and beyond my expectation to receive the Best Paper Award in the Future Craft category. My visit to Nottingham will be a great memory that I will really cherish for the rest of my life."
Fellow delegate Guillerma Mendoza, Assistant Professor at the University of Santo Tomas College of Fine Arts and Design in the Philippines, commented: "It is a truly memorable and enriching experience to be with kindred spirits in art, design and media education and research, and I'm looking forward to more productive encounters with the Cumulus network."
The conference was run in partnership with a number of key contacts across Nottingham, including Broadway Cinema, Nottingham Contemporary, Nottingham Castle, New Art Exchange and Confetti.
Chair of the conference and Professor of Visual Arts at NTU, Duncan Higgins, told us: "It was an honour to host In this Place at NTU as it raised the essential platform for us to discuss what questions can or should we be asking that can inform the choices we are making for current and future creative practices.
"Being the place for knowledge exchange and conversation is, I think, the fundamental role of universities; to host, facilitate, frame and enable exchange as we contribute to the future we are making. Consequently, it was the creation of new opportunities to see and listen beyond what is known that has the potential to lead to the creation of new knowledge - both personally, educationally, and culturally."

Frugally challenged: Proud? Ashamed? Which?
When I got it up on the table there were three screws which needed removing in order to get the soleplate off. Two came out easily. One didn't.
Feeling resourceful I looked on line and found that the technical name for my problem is "a screw with a stripped head". If nothing else this experience has expanded my vocabulary. Sole plate. Screw with stripped head.
The recommended method for removing said screws is to get a large rubber band and lay it over the screw in the hope that the rubber will fill the gaps and allow extraction.
So I way-laid the postie. Fortunately I feed him ice lollies in the summer so we get on very well. He gave me a band and one extra for luck.
Even my lucky band didn't work. The screw remained firmly in place. I was feeling like a helpless woman, a feeling which I deeply resent.
I also worked out how to use my new camera!
But then I had an idea and raided my crafting stuff for some long nose pliers. Using those I managed to grip the screw and turn it. Off came the soleplate and from then on it was a doddle to clear the blockage. I've ordered new screws which will be delivered tomorrow. I hope I still feel proud when I can finally use The Thing.
Because I also feel ashamed at how much I managed to get out of my blocked machine.
Congratulations on tackling your Dyson. I hope you've solved the problem and it springs into life when you start up. You have nothing to feel ashamed about.
Well, done! I love resourceful ladies! I happen to be one myself. I hate asking my husband to tackle things for me and love taking care of things myself. I am proud of you Mary and as far as what came out of the machine -- what happens at Mary's stays at Mary's! Mine would look the same!
I received a free vacuum from freecycle. the woman had bought a new vacuum because the one she was giving me did not work well. It ran but sucked little. I took it apart and took a mountain of junk from inside the vacuum cleaner. I worked like a new one after that.
Well done, I love the sense of satisfaction from fixing things.


- this allows me to add and edit access points, with options such as connection name, data bearer, access point name, user, password etc.
Either 2 or 3 seem to be the go, but wherever I enter exetel1, I always receive the error message of : "Packet Data: Packet Data connection not available" when trying to browse.
I followed the advice of this thread: http://forum.exetel.com.au/viewtopic.ph ... ta#p222957 which suggests changing the Optus APN to extel1 and ensuring that Network Mode is on Dual. I have also followed this thread: http://forum.exetel.com.au/viewtopic.ph ... ta#p231680 which gives a very clear guide to creating a new access point.
And yet I still have no internet. My 3G reception is full and calls are working fine.
2 ii) "Access Point:" should have the value "internet"
This connection is priorty one and there are two preinstalled ones, Optus Internet and Virgin Internet, however it is definitely using this one.
Deleted them and same error message: "Packet data not available. Check network services"
From the manual: "To set the access point name to use your device as a modem with your computer, select Access Point"
Perhaps the sim wasn't configured properly?
doppledoer wrote: Deleted them and same error message: "Packet data not available. Check network services"
I don't have mine with me at the moment to check but from memory I have exetel1 as the Access Point under Packet Data rather than internet can you give that a try just to test?
Yes, I have already tried. I did it just now and it still doesn't work....hmm.
The only difference now between yours and mine is that I have "internet" (as per my earlier post) and you have "Internet" (i.e. a capital "I"). no idea if this matters, but you might try changing it to "internet".
Gidget wrote: The only difference now between yours and mine is that I have "internet" (as per my earlier post) and you have "Internet" (i.e. a capital "I"). No idea if this matters, but you might try changing it to "internet".
I have tried with and without capital. I have tried EVERYTHING.
I'm left with no other suggestion, other than there is something wrong with my sim. Could this be possible?
Despite being able to make and receive calls/sms, when I go to the HSPA admin area, there is no record of this usage. I go to unbilled charges and it says "There is no telephone record for 04xxxxxxxx" and underneath has an empty record. Could this be indicative of something wrong in the system or do i just not know where to find a record of my usage?
The time has probably come to raise a support ticket - send an email with a description of the problem and a link to this thread to residentialsupport@exetel.com.au.
I was trying to setup this handset also for Exetel HSPA + VoIP, and encountered the problem above. I managed to figure it out though, so I thought I'd post the solution.
Also you need to go to Menu -> Settings -> Phone Settings -> Connection -> Packet Data - and set your default access point.
When in the web browser, if you hit Options -> Settings -> General - there is yet another Access Point setting that sometimes causes no connection.

Javorina (, , ), üdülőfalu Szlovákiában, az Eperjesi kerületben, a Poprádi járásban. Közúti határátkelőhely a lengyelországi Łysa Polana felé.

Fekvése
Poprádtól 40 km-re északra, a lengyel határ mellett, a Jávor-völgy végénél, a Javorinka-patak partján fekszik.

Nevének eredete
Neve a szláv javor (= juharfa) főnévből származik.

Története
A falu helyén a 18. századig pásztorok tanyája volt, ahol csak egy karám állt. 1759-ben birtokosa – plaveci Horváth Ferenc – a majorság mellé vashámort építtetett, mely körül csakhamar a szénégetők viskói sorakoztak, de cseh és lengyel kohászok is érkeztek.

Fényes Elek 1851-ben kiadott geográfiai szótárában így ír a faluról: "Javorina, (Urgarten), tót falu, Szepes vmegyében, igen hegyes vidéken, közel Gallicziához; 158 kath., 2 evang., 8 zsidó lak. Vashámor. F. u. b. Palocsay Horváth."

1875-re a vaskészletek kimerültek és a hámort papírgyárrá alakították. 1879-ben az új birtokos Hohenlohe Orhringen Krafft Keresztély porosz herceg lett, aki vadászkastélyt épített ide és határában 40 000 holdas vadaskertet létesített. Ez lett az alapja a mai Tátrai Nemzeti Parknak. A trianoni diktátumig Szepes vármegye Késmárki járásához tartozott.

A herceget 1926-ban az itteni temetőben temették el. A hercegi birtokot 1936-ban az állam megvásárolta. Lakói ma főként a tátrai idegenforgalomból élnek.

Népessége
1910-ben 396-an, többségében szlovákok lakták, jelentős magyar és német kisebbséggel.

2001-ben 223 lakosából 222 szlovák volt.

2011-ben 229 lakosából 209 szlovák.

Nevezetességei
 A 19. század végén népi stílusú fatemplomot építettek Szent Anna tiszteletére.
 A Poľana Szálló 1977-ben épült.

Híres emberek
 Itt nyugszik a falu egykori birtokosa, Hohenlohe Orhringen Krafft Keresztély herceg.
 Itt nyugszik Jaroslav Votruba tátrai festőművész.

I joined SES Engineering Services in October 2018 on an 18 month Business Admin apprenticeship at York Community Stadium through EN:Able Futures, who are part of Efficiency North.
Before this, I never really had a solid idea of what I wanted to do with my life: but does anyone? I knew I wanted an apprenticeship but that's about it. I certainly had never considered working in the construction industry before, never mind on a live site. I previously worked in a call centre full time and before that I was working part time alongside college and university.
I was really struggling to find something that I both wanted to do and that made logical sense for the next steps of my career. When I applied for the Business Admin apprenticeship, I was kind of in a grey area, I didn't know which company or what type of workplace I would end up in, but I had a feeling I had the skills for the role. The idea of a new industry made me worry about what my day to day tasks would be and if I'd excel, but I ended up pleasantly surprised with the outcome.
The site team have been great, fully supporting me and giving me experience in lots of different areas such as health and safety paperwork, toolbox talks, site inductions, scheduling workface availability, and document control to name a few.
I really enjoy learning about how a site 'works' and all the different trades involved. I also love the working environment on site; it suits me much better than being stuck in a call centre! Once my apprenticeship is complete I definitely want to continue working in the construction industry, perhaps exploring different roles.
If it wasn't for EN:Able Futures, SES Engineering Services, and everyone I work alongside I wouldn't have found my chosen career path. I would wholly recommend companies to consider shared apprentice schemes like this as they offer valuable skills and experiences for young people. I'd also recommend it to any young person looking build their future.
