Matt Swanson Ready For Granite State Pro Stock Series Debut Saturday At NHMS
June 27, 2017 by RaceDayCT Staff Report 1 Comment
(Press Release from Granite State Pro Stock Series)
The first annual New England Short Track Showdown presented by AR Bodies, which is set for this Saturday July 1, will bring out some of the top names that New England racing has to offer.
Of those names is young and upcoming modified star Matt Swanson, who is just 17-years-old and has just one full-time Whelen Modified Tour season under his belt to this point. Swanson will be making his Granite State Pro Stock Series debut on Saturday behind the wheel of the Starrett Racing machine.
"This will be my first start and I'm looking forward to going back to NHMS with the Starrett Racing car," Swanson said. "We had a good test day (in May) and we look forward to finding more speed this Friday and we also look forward to the race on Saturday."
In his career at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Swanson has been able to capture one top-five run on the Whelen Modified Tour. He finished fourth in the September event last season and is hoping to use some of the experience he has in his three modified starts on the 'Magic Mile'.
"We finished fourth last year in the tour show and hopefully my experience I have up there will help me," Swanson said. "Although I've only run three career Super Late Model races, we keep getting better each time out. Loudon is really tough, you need to make sure your car is good in traffic as well as out front."
As a rookie contender on the Granite State Pro Stock Series, Swanson is hoping that he can combine his first Super Late Model win with the prestigious trophy at Loudon.
"Everyone wants to win at New Hampshire," Swanson said. "It's our largest track in New England and it would be a very proud moment for me and all of our partners."
Although Swanson joins the list of first-time series competitors, the 2015 series champion Derek Griffith will make his return on Saturday — hoping to steal the glory and capture a win on the flat oval.
"I'm super excited to be back with the Granite State Pro Stock Series," Griffith said. "I have a lot of friends on the tour. Loudon is nothing like anything I have been too."
Like all the other drivers, Griffith is preparing for action on the 1.058-mile oval and knows there will be some challenges that come along with it if he wants to run well.
"I think the biggest thing people will face will be getting comfortable," Griffith said. "It's a big, fast track. Not a lot of people will be used to being pushed around by the air off another car."
Much like Swanson, Griffith is looking to add the prestigious New Hampshire hardware to his collection. Although he is a former champion of the series, the win at Loudon would be a career booster for him.
"It would be huge for me to win," Griffith said. "I've watched races at Loudon for almost my whole life. The big names that drive around that track have won and I'd like to get my name on the winner's list at Loudon."
These two young drivers will be joined by a list of both Rookie of the Year and veteran contenders on Saturday in the 50-lap feature event. Series regulars like Nick Lascuola, Cory Casagrande and Scott MacMichael have filed an entry, but there are also plenty of outsiders.
Seekonk Speedway Pro Stock regular Kevin Casper will return to the series, while modified driver Zane Ziener and Pro All Star Series regular Ben Rowe are also set to compete.
The first annual New England Short Track Showdown presented by AR Bodies includes four divisions of racing action on the 1.058-mile. The GSPSS will be joined by the Valenti Modified Racing Series, NorthEast Mini Stock Tour and the Street Stock Showdown Series.
Tickets to get into the grandstands on Saturday are just $20 for adults, with kids general admission tickets set at just $12. A pass into the pit area on Saturday will cost $75.
For more information, fans are encouraged to visit www.gspss.net, or follow the series updates on Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg was resistant to adding a delay to Facebook Live - a pretty mild measure - during his first interview since the Christchurch shootings, broadcast Friday NZT, let alone suspending or abandoning the service.
"It would also fundamentally break what livestreaming is for people. Most people are livestreaming, you know, a birthday party or hanging out with friends when they can't be together. And it's one of the things that's magical about livestreaming is that it's bi-directional, right? So you're not just broadcasting. You're communicating. And people are commenting back. So if you had a delay that would break that."
But what Zuckerberg is describing is video chat.
And anyone with even a passing degree of familiarity with tech these days knows you can video chat to a set group of family or friends to share a birthday moment or similar with friends and family afar in a two-way experience. It doesn't need to be broadcast to all-comers a la Facebook Live.
So I'm struggling to see why the Facebook CEO won't make any concession on his company's livestream service.
In his ABC News interview, he breezily conceded that it's difficult for Facebook's AI (artificial intelligence) systems to identify terror activity on Facebook Live. If that's the case, then surely a brief delay would help.
Why won't Zuckerberg give an inch?
Possibly, like the NRA in the world of guns, he fears that any concession will prove to be the thin end of the wedge.
Meanwhile, the horror of March 15 continues to reverberate through Facebook.
On Friday morning, New York-based extremist content researcher Eric Feinberg told the Herald he had located 12 copies of the alleged gunman's video - seven on Facebook and five on the Facebook-owned Instagram.
A spokesman for Facebook acknowledged the existence of the copies, but said they had been taken down in the hours since Feinberg flagged them. Feinberg immediately found another copy. It goes on.

Facebook says it continues comprehensive efforts to stamp out copies of the Christchurch clip, and that it is strengthing its technology and human moderator systems all the time.
But the frustration for New Zealand regulators, like Privacy Commissioner John Edwards, has been that Facebook has made no changes to its user policies around livestreaming.
In an open letter last week, Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg said the social network was "exploring" the possibility of restricting access to Facebook Live for some users.
Edwards followed up by asking if any safeguards had been put in place since March 15 that would prevent a repeat of the horrific livestream.
Before his ABC News interview, Zuckerberg wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post in which he said Facebook would welcome rules and sanctions imposed by governments.
The Facebook boss called for a "global framework," perhaps cogniscent of the fact in the real-world, it would take years for disparate countries to agree on common rules - if it ever happened at all.
He also went out of his way to praise tough new privacy rules in Europe under the EU's General Data Protection Regulation, (GDPR).
Yet as the GDPR came into force in May last year, Facebook quietly changed its terms of services to move its New Zealand users from under Irish privacy law (that is, under the new EU rules) to lighter US privacy law.
Edwards said the social network shouldn't get to pick and choose.
Facebook's NZ operation should fall under NZ law.
"I remain of the view, based on expert advice on how private international law works, that Facebook is subject to New Zealand law in relation to the collection, use, storage, access and disclosure of personal information," he said.
Across the Tasman, a tough new law was introduced last week which will see social media companies fined up to 10 per cent of their revenue and their executives jailed for up to three years if they fail to remove "abhorrent violent material expeditiously."
"There are platforms such as YouTube, Twitter and Facebook who do not seem to take their responsibility to not show the most abhorrently violent material seriously," Australian Attorney-General Christian Porter said as the legislation was passed.
The Aussie clampdown has been criticised as too rushed and too vague (it fails to define "expeditious", for example) and drawn flak from civil liberties campaigners including NZ's Thomas Beagle.
But at least it will focus the minds of Zuckerberg and co. Here, our government has gone hard on gun control, but curiously soft on social media.
For now, Facebook's business model - which relies on speed and volume of user-content, by one Washington Post writer's analysis - remains undisturbed.


Everything starts at home. In the late 1960s, at Kato Pefki, then a working-class area, there was built a villa, made of stone, surrounded by lawns. It had no fencing, on the American model. The design was by the well-known architect Sthenis Molfesis. The house situated at the edge (of a copse) was branded an "illegal construction" though of course it was equipped with a legal permit and all necessary documents; however, the related court cases are still in progress. The house differentiated me from the other kids in the neighbourhood and has stigmatised me ever since.
This bipolarity –out and in, legal and illegal, regular and irregular, private and public, good and evil- brought a gradual focus to my fragmented fantasy world. The absence of fencing created in my mind insecurity and a sense of permanent threat from the outside world; perhaps this was the starting point of my project series, some years later, of greenhouse interiors – spaces that are protected and absolutely controlled. I seek security obsessively, exploring the landscapes of the house: under tables, inside clothes, in the furniture. Concurrently, on my lonely wanderings around the outskirts of Athens the irregular reveals itself as regular. The metropolis is growing at a fast rate, it is an endless anticipation, an ongoing brand, a piece of a fragmented culture that combines need for a better life, lost identity, arbitrariness, absence of central planning: everything must be done quickly.
On the other side, a sterilised, conservative, excluded bourgeois regularity constantly changing hands, lacking in creativity even in the form of an arbitrary "patent". Everything for the future of our children, we can already see the future of our children. There, within these constructions, there arises the work of art, which looks like something but means nothing - merely that somewhere there chanced to be a house made of stone, with lawns and no fences, at the wrong time and the wrong place.

In situ X-ray diffraction study of decomposition of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons at pressures of 7-15GPa: Implication to fluids under the Earth's and planetary environments

Laboratory for Experimental Geochemistry and Petrology of the Earth's Mantle
The behavior of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) at high pressures and temperatures has been investigated as a part of study of the deep-seated C-O-H fluids in the Earth and planetary interiors. The theoretical calculations of fluid compositions at the Earth's mantle conditions in the simple C-O-H system indicate that dominant fluid species are CH4 and H2O, with subordinate H2, and heavier hydrocarbons. However, calculations of equations of state for a broader range of hydrocarbons predict an appearance of heavy alkanes and PAHs under high pressures (>6-7GPa). Here, we determined stability of the major PAHs (from naphthalene to coronene) using in situ X-ray diffraction in multianvil apparatus at the SPring-8 synchrotron radiation facility (Japan). It was found, that at 7-9GPa, PAHs become unstable at temperatures above 873-1073K. We suggest that stability of PAHs is limited by benzene ring decomposition. The data for coronene only at 15GPa confirms limited temperature stability of PAHs. The PAH decomposition products consist of amorphous hydrogenated carbon at 7-9GPa at 973-1073K. Coronene decomposition products consist of diamond and trans-polyacetylene at 15.5GPa and 973K. Determined PAH decomposition temperatures (873-1073K) are lower than known Earth's geotherms and subduction slab P-T profiles at pressures of 7-9GPa (220-280km depths). According to these data, PAH inclusions in mantle garnet and diamond should be of secondary origin, precipitating from mantle-derived fluids after or prior to kimberlite magma eruption. Limited temperature stability of PAHs restricts the parameters of their formation in meteorite by high-temperature impact events during early Solar System history.

'Maybe the best playoff pitcher ever'
Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen is a three-time All-Star who has posted career numbers of 1.68 ERA, 0.918 WHIP and 103 saves in 106 opportunities.
The "best postseason pitchers of all time" is a question that has been asked many times. The answer to this question is still up for debate, but there are some names that have been mentioned often.
Now that Lester, Jon has announced his retirement from baseball after 16 seasons in the big leagues, there will definitely be a lot of talk about whether he will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in five years.
In the eyes of his teammates, though, there is no question.
John Lackey, a former Boston Red Sox and Chicago Cubs teammate, remarked, "I told my kids, I'm not going until Jon gets in." "We'll be in Cooperstown at that time. I'm very excited to be there."
Lester's Cooperstown credentials will be debated based on his on-field numbers: He won 200 games, was a member of three World Series championships for two historic teams, threw a no-hitter, and was named to five All-Star teams. His teammates, on the other hand, will remember him for his tenacity on the mound and his charisma in the locker room. He was the epitome of a winner in their eyes.
"If you're constructing a baseball player, he's the model," Chicago Cubs manager David Ross said. "How they treat other people, what their objectives are, how you want them to compete and behave on and off the field, he's the model."
In the last weeks of his career, a scene from a July game could best describe the left-hander.
Listen to Lester, Jon's retirement podcast on BBTN.
Lester was on the mound for the St. Louis Cardinals against the NL Central-leading Milwaukee Brewers in mid-August, still attempting to play their way into the postseason race. Brewers star Christian Yelich blasted a 106-mph line liner off Lester's leg for an infield single in the first inning.
When Lester returned to the dugout after striking out the following hitter to complete the inning, he was visibly in pain. Mike Maddux, the pitching coach, informed him they had a reliever ready and that he may leave the game.
It didn't sit well with Lester.
He informed Maddux, "My calf is nowhere near my heart." "I'm not going to come out."
In a game that the Cardinals would go on to win, he remained in for three more innings. When the Cardinals secured a wild-card spot two months later, it was the 11th time a club led by Lester, Jon had reached the playoffs.
"That sounds like him," said Dustin Pedroia, a personal friend and former teammate who chuckled at the account. "'You're fine to go if you have two of them.' That's something we always say. 'You've got another one, come out there,' whether it was an arm or leg."
In the locker room or in front of the cameras, he wasn't hesitant to speak his opinion about his own performance, his team's performance, or even the commissioner of baseball, whom Lester chastised in 2020 after Rob Manfred disparaged the World Series trophy.
Opponents were as intimidated by his desire to win as they were by his devastating cutter, while teammates looked to him for guidance. He was known as the "ultimate old-school" player. Lester didn't disregard the game's modern analytical aspects, but he also didn't depend on them — if a computer was making preseason predictions, his sole goal was to prove them wrong.
Lester's mentality was refined during his time with the Red Sox. Lester cites former Boston pitcher Josh Beckett, as well as catchers Jason Varitek and Ross, as major influences.
In Boston, Lester won his first two World Series rings and learned what it meant to be a good teammate on and off the field.
Lester said, "You have individuals from different walks of life on a team with one aim." "I've seen David [Ortiz] bring together a bunch of those folks you'd never expect to be friends. When I got to Chicago, I wanted to carry it with me."
When Lester joined with the Cubs in 2015, he was one of several stars on the Red Sox, but he took on the role that Ortiz had played in Boston. Kris Bryant was still in the minors, while players like Javy Baez, Kyle Schwarber, and Anthony Rizzo had yet to reach their prime for a team that had been without a championship for more than a century. Lester took it upon himself to assemble everyone.
Ross remembered a remarkable road trip to Oakland that involved the use of a private jet to transport a group of golfers to Pebble Beach. A day later, Lester arranged for a private bus to a Kenny Chesney performance, with all costs covered by him.
"It was the most incredible vacation I've ever taken," Ross added. "It's not about private aircraft or anything like that; it's simply that he wanted everyone to have fun."
There were also the postgame parties Lester hosted at his home near Wrigley Field. Everyone was welcome to attend.
Lester said, "I realized we had a youthful squad." "We wanted to introduce ourselves and get to know some of the other attendees. Off the field is the best way to accomplish it. Apart from that, we like hosting, which is always beneficial. Instead of worrying about obtaining an Uber, I'd rather simply stroll up to my room and sleep."

The ultra-competitive Lester maintained a "I'm here to work" mindset at the stadium while making things pleasurable for his teammates. He and Ross would have yelling bouts on a regular basis.
Ross added, "My favorite came against Oakland [in 2014]." "In seven innings, he had 12 strikeouts." In the eighth inning, he walked the leadoff batter on four noncompetitive pitches.
"'Are you done?!' I yelled at him as I headed out to the mound. I'll notify [Red Sox manager John] Farrell when you're finished.' 'We're not done,' he exclaims. Then he struck out the next three batters, for a total of 15 strikeouts for the day."
In 2015, Ross accompanied Lester to Chicago, and the two resumed their relationship. Following another altercation in which Lester ignored Ross' pleas to Freddie Freeman, Ross recalls the consequences following Freeman's RBI base hit.
"I'm hollering at him in the dugout, 'You call your own game!' 'You don't need my assistance!' 'Don't give up on me; I was trying to bounce it,' he replied. We were enraged with one another.
"It was really funny. I had such high hopes for him. I take a step back and marvel that he didn't smack me in the face."
Pedroia cherishes the one and only occasion he walked into the batter's box against Lester, which occurred during spring training hitting practice in 2005.
Pedroia remarked, "I knew I could get under Jon's skin." "He wasn't telling me what he was throwing, so if he threw a cutter, I didn't care whether I took it or let it strike me." So when he threw me a two-seamer, I struck the L-screen with a rocket.
"After that, I told him a lot of nonsense. And I've made it clear that I'll never confront him again. If we had faced him during the regular season, I guarantee I would have taken a day off and sat outside with a Mai Tai."
Pedroia also avoided facing Lester because he preferred to continue playing with him. Pedroia believed they would reunite after Lester became a free agent after he was traded from Boston to Oakland in 2014.
"I always had it in the back of my mind that we'd re-sign him," Pedroia remarked. "Right before he signed with the Cubs, he phoned me. He was in tears. That was certainly the most difficult time of my major league career. It was beyond midnight. He phoned me when I was in bed. 'Jon, that doesn't affect how I feel about you,' I said. That was the worst defeat I'd ever had on the field. He was a member of the family."
Lester's Hall of Fame prospects will be determined by how much voters appreciate his October success, accomplishments relative to other left-handed starters, and his ability to pitch deep into games for more than a decade.
"I'm most pleased of the fact that I've taken the ball every five days," Lester stated. "That was the most important thing to me. When I was little, I frequently heard the phrase 'be depended upon.' They knew they could depend on me to grab the ball regardless of the result."
Lester, Jon
His 2.51 ERA in the playoffs ranks ninth among all pitchers who have made at least 10 starts. It's fourth if just lefties are included. He ranks seventh in postseason win probability after Mariano Rivera, Curt Schilling, John Smoltz, and Andy Pettitte (the only lefty).
Lester tossed 200 or more innings in eight of nine seasons from 2008 to 2016, a period when starters were pitching fewer innings. He only missed out in 2011 by 813 innings. Before Father Time finally caught up with him, he still averaged 170 innings thrown over his last five years (excluding the pandemic-shortened 2020 season).
Lester became the 30th left-handed pitcher in MLB history to achieve 200 wins when he did it in September. And he spent much of his career in the sport as the 200-win club became less stressed — Lester, Zack Greinke, and Justin Verlander were the only active members of the club last season.

"People's perceptions of the amount of victories are drastically altering," said Cubs president of baseball operations Jed Hoyer. "I'm ecstatic he made it to 200. His career consistency and the fact that he was able to be such a fantastic postseason pitcher are the pinnacle of any starting pitcher's abilities. He's one of the finest pitchers of this generation if you alter the focus [from from 300 wins as the criterion to overall worth]."
Those close to Lester think that his playoff success, which he has shown time and time again on the greatest stage, will be the deciding factor among voters.
The secret to Lester's domination in October, according to Ross, isn't really increasing your game. "It's the ability to calm things down and concentrate in a big game." The larger the game, the more difficult it gets. Are you capable of delivering the pitch you want to deliver?
"It was because he was so routine-oriented that he was prepared for such occasions. He was able to execute with the extra vigor that the playoffs provides. As a result, he was the finest player I've ever seen in the playoffs."
Lester's future at Cooperstown remains to be uncertain now that his playing days are over. But one thing is certain: baseball is losing a distinctive personality who won three rings with a fantastic playoff career, according to those who have spent the previous 16 years watching him operate.
Lackey described himself as "just a pro's pro." "He'd worked his arse off. Every five days, Friggin' took the ball. In the locker room, he wasn't much of a talker. Exercising leadership. Perhaps the finest postseason pitcher in history."
The "last complete game in mlb playoffs" is a phrase that has been used to describe the performance of Clayton Kershaw. He was able to go 7 innings, allowing only 1 run on 2 hits and striking out 10 batters.

Many of the province's obstetricians are thinking about leaving Nova Scotia or retiring if policy changes aren't made soon.
Many of the province's obstetricians are thinking about leaving Nova Scotia or retiring if policy changes aren't made soon.
"We are facing an obstetrical coverage crisis in Nova Scotia," said Dr. Don Wescott, the only full-time obstetrician in Antigonish.
Obstetricians are facing a drastic increase in the fees they pay for malpractice insurance to the Canadian Medical Protective Association (CPMA).
The province had been funding the malpractice insurance to the tune of 90 per cent, less a $1,500 deductible.
This year physicians found out they would only be reimbursed the same amount of money given in 2014. Since the fee for obstetricians went up $30,000 this year, they are on the hook for that increase.
On Wednesday night 24 obstetricians went on a conference call to talk about the increased fees. There are about 40 doctors in this specialty in the province. Amherst obstetrician Robyn MacQuarrie says nine of those doctors are thinking about retiring or leaving Nova Scotia.
It adds another burden on a specialty facing recruitment problems. Wescott submitted his resignation six months ago, telling the health authority he would work for six more months unless they were able to recruit someone to help him. Right now he is on call two out of every three nights.
The only other obstetrician in Antigonish is part time. No one signed up to take his place yet.
"I can't see us attracting high quality physicians who will be planning to become part of rural Nova Scotia communities like I have been for the last nearly 20 years," he said.
Wescott and his colleague treat patients from as far away as Cape Breton. He worries what will happen to women facing high-risk pregnancies if they have to travel another half hour to New Glasgow, or even further to Truro or the IWK in Halifax.
"That's an onerous weight to put on these young, labouring mothers," he said.
Physicians coming out of medical school graduate with an average debt of $200,000. This increased out-of-pocket fee is going to scare away new grads, says MacQuarrie.
"No young obstetrician in their right mind would want to move here unless they were independently wealthy," he said, adding the financial attractions in other provinces are much higher.
MacQuarrie herself is a new graduate practicing part-time in Amherst. This is not a case of rich doctors not wanting to pay a fee, she said.
"I love working in rural Nova Scotia. I find my job incredibly rewarding," she said. "But it's not an issue of I'm not making enough money, it's an issue of I'm losing money and I can't afford to do that."
MacQuarrie has paid $4,500 a month since January for her insurance. This month she will get a quarterly cheque from the province that won't even cover a month's worth of those fees.
"I have to continue to pay all the costs but it's not like there's a way to go and generate increased income," she said, adding she still has to pay administrative staff and cover other costs of being in practice.
No other province has stopped paying the full tab for malpractice insurance fees, the doctors say.
The Department of Health and Wellness and Doctors Nova Scotia wouldn't speak to the concerns raised by the province's obstetricians. The two groups said they wouldn't be commenting because they are entering into contract negotiations.
The contract expired March 31.
Wescott, a past president of Doctors Nova Scotia and a signatory to that contract, says he thinks the government should still be paying the agreed upon 90 per cent minus deductible.
"Government has simply ignored that contract," he said.

Fortune tellers (clairvoyants) have been around for centuries. Although the practice was discredited for a long time and sometimes even made illegal, today people from all walks of life recognize that some individuals have the gift of reading the future. People tend to use the term 'fortune tellers' to refer to anyone with the gift of reading patterns and trends and using them to give a person guidance about their future opportunities and challenges.
Fortune tellers use different methods to find answers about your future. Some will read your future in the lines on your hand (these are palm-readers or users of palmistry). Others use tarot cards, crystals, numerology, or the patterns in tea leaves. The method used is simply a tool to shut out external distractions and concentrate on channeling your future. By tapping into this information, clairvoyants can give revealing answers about your life.
One of the most popular topics is love prediction. Everyone wants to find love. If you want to know what your future partner will be like, where you'll meet, when you'll get married, and other important questions about your love life, fortune tellers may be able to help you.

Le unità della classe Andizhan (progetto 1850 secondo la classificazione russa) erano navi da trasporto di progettazione sovietica, costruite a Rostock, nell'allora Germania Est. Entrate in servizio tra il 1958 ed il 1960, alcuni esemplari furono utilizzati anche per scopi militari.

Tecnica e servizio
Le Andizhan furono costruite in una cinquantina di esemplari, che prestarono quasi tutti servizio nella marina mercantile sovietica. Caratterizzate per la presenza di due gru leggere, avevano le sovrastrutture poste al centro della nave. Tuttavia, tre furono utilizzati anche per l'addestramento degli equipaggi della marina civile, ed altrettanti (Onda, Poset e Yemetsk) vennero impiegati come trasporti militari. Oggi ne rimane in servizio solo una, la Onda .

Inoltre, altri tre esemplari furono completati come navi oceanografiche, e ricevettero il nome di classe Polyus.

Le Andizhan modificate
Due esemplari furono modificati nei primi anni settanta per svolgere compiti di trasporto missili. Questi erano:
Venta (ex Lakhta)
Vilyuy (ex Posyet)

Le capacità di carico erano notevoli: infatti, ogni unità era in grado di trasportare ben 10 SS-N-9 e 20 SA-N-1 o SA-N-3 Goblet. Si differenziavano dagli esemplari "di serie" per la presenza di un albero al posto della gru di poppa, con una piazzola per elicotteri sistemata alla fine della nave. La gru di prua era invece di dimensioni maggiori.

Innovation in Beverage Packaging – All Channel Report provides an overview of beverage packaging innovation in the context of the global markets for soft drinks, dairy drinks, beer, cider, wine, spirits and flavored alcoholic beverages. It is divided into 11 sections covering an Executive summary, a Key Mega Trends in Beverage and Packaging Markets, Key Trends in the Global Beverage Market, Key Trends in the Global Packaging Market, Overview of Innovations in Packaging, Innovations in Glass Packaging, Innovations in Rigid Packaging, Innovations in Flexible Packaging, Innovation in Paper and Board Packaging, Innovation in Metal Packaging, and Innovation in Labelling.
This report provides an overview of packaging innovation in the context of the global market for beverage products (soft drinks, dairy drinks, beer, cider, wine, spirits, and flavored alcoholic beverages). This will give product manufacturers, packaging converters, and other suppliers to the industry an overview of the current key innovations in beverage packaging, as well as an indication of where the future of the packaged beverage market is heading.
Beverage markets continue to become more competitive and sophisticated as manufacturers and marketers increasingly look to develop products to satisfy regional preferences, rather than adopting a 'one size fits all' approach. The industry is also addressing the specific needs of identified target segments based on a range of criteria including age, gender, lifestyle and purchasing power. Packaging innovation is required to meet the various and changing needs of all sections of the supply chain - from the manufacturer through to consumer - within an increasingly demanding regulatory environment.
2012 and 2013 have seen an increased breakdown in pre-conceptions of the packaging formats for certain drinks, with producers starting to adopt the 'alternative packaging format' prototypes that were initially launched years prior. Where bottles used to be glass or plastic, these could now be made from board or rigid metal. Cartons are shaped to be user friendly and easier to pour. Visual enhancements, including different finishes and inks provide the extra shelf appeal needed to attract attention. An increasing focus on the consumer has been evident, with producers actively seeking consumer input regarding more suitable shapes, sizes, and packaging designs.
An overview of the Key Trends affecting the Beverage and Beverage Packaging Markets overall.

SHOWS FOR MARCH 22-28
By M.S. Mason, S. Broadhurst,
Y. Zipp
The 75th Academy Awards (ABC, 8:30 p.m.): Steve Martin, who hosted the awards in 2001, returns this year. Also presenting are Julianne Moore, Harrison Ford, and Halle Berry.
The True Story of Killing Pablo (History Channel, 9 p.m.): One of the world's most notorious drug lords, Pablo Escobar controlled his recruits and Colombian officials through violent intimidation and bribes as he raked in millions of dollars exporting cocaine. Mark Bowden, author of "Killing Pablo," thoughtfully tells how a determined Colombian security chief - with significant US support - eventually brought down Escobar's criminal empire in 1993. While most of the story is riveting to watch, some segments drone on. Beware of violent historical footage.
Wanda at Large (Fox, 9:30-10 p.m.): Stand-up comic Wanda Sykes stars in this off-beat situation comedy about the token liberal on a conservative Washington, D.C., talk show. She is helping to raise her nephew and niece, and the family comedy is perhaps the best part. The first episode is a fizzle, but the wit bubbles up promisingly in the next two episodes. Maybe it will hang around long enough to let Ms. Sykes and the writers warm to the task.
Regular Joe (ABC, 9:30- 10 p.m.): Daniel Stern stars as widower Joe Binder with two teenagers and a family business. His daughter, Joanie, is an unwed mom. His son, Grant, is one of the few kids his age afraid to learn to drive. And then there's granddad - Judd Hirsch plays the interfering curmudgeon. Brian George rounds out the cast as a Hindu with a close attachment to the paint machine. It's not all that funny, but the predictable characters are endearing. It may improve with time.
Tremors: The Series (Sci Fi, 9-10 p.m.): Comic gross-out is the name of the game here as large, super-ugly worms emerge from the earth in search of humans for supper. The worms seem to prefer tourists, since the locals study the creatures' bad habits and have learned to survive in the tiny desert community. Based on the film "Tremors," this has none of the original's fiery wit or social satire. However, with guest stars like Christopher Lloyd showing up on occasion, it may just get silly enough to be fun.

Domino Theory came from the notion of "containment" that governed American foreign policy from late 1940s until 1980s. It was basically said that if one country came under communist influence or control, its neighboring countries would soon follow in a domino effect. U.S. President Eisenhower coined the term during a news conference on April 7, 1954.
After World War II and the fall of the Third Reich, most of Central and Eastern European countries came under the influence of Soviet Union communists as part of post war new settlement. Following Soviet Union's refusal to withdraw from Iran in 1946, U.S. President Harry Truman declared his support for any countries under threat of Communism which became known as the Truman Doctrine as well as pledged military and financial aid to Greece and Turkey to halt communist advancement to Western Europe.
In Asia, following the establishment of People's Republic of China (PRC) in the mainland China, Vietnam was perceived as a strategic position in the natural invasion route of Communism throughout Asia. In 1950, the U.S. began to aid the French in their war against Viet Minh – a communist-led organization in Indochina.
By early 1954, it became clear that the French were failing to re-establish its colonial control over Indochina. In an attempt to gain more support and aid for French during its decisive battle against the Viet Minh at Dien Bien Phu, in a press conference in April 7, U.S President D. Eisenhower described the situation in Vietnam as a "falling domino" whose loss would lead to rapid and widespread communist victories in neighbouring countries such as Laos, Burma, Thailand as in a domino effect. Even Japan, New Zealand and Australia would be in danger as well.
The domino theory suggested in Eisenhower's speech laid the foundation for U.S. steady involvement in Vietnam as part of its containment policy implemented throughout the world. Successive U.S. Presidents would use the domino theory to justify their escalation of U.S. intervention in Vietnam. President Kennedy, in his inauguration speech, stated that U.S. security may be lost piece to piece, country by country as the result of the domino effect. He then decided to increase aid and military advisers in the South Vietnam, which numbered about 16,000 when he was assassinated in November 1963. President Johnson eventually sent troops to Vietnam in 1965 while President Nixon escalated the conflict further to Laos and Cambodia.
To date, the righteousness of the domino theory remains controversial and debatable.
On the one hand, the domino theory was justified by the spread of communism to Laos and Cambodia following the Fall of Saigon and communist takeover of Vietnam in 1975. Its failure to take hold in the rest Southeast Asian countries could be explained due partially to the effects of both the Korean and Vietnam war. Indeed, there had been many communist movements such as the Malayan Emergency, Sukarno all attempting to take over Southeast Asian countries which only stalled as the communist forces focused more in Vietnam.
On other other hand, many argue that the theory failed to take account of the driving force behind North Vietnamese and Viet Cong who were relatively more of nationalists than communists. American policy makers, as a result, failed to realized the ultimate goal of Ho Chi Minh and his supporters which was to gain independence for Vietnam rather than spreading communism throughout Southeast Asia. That was illustrated by the Cambodian-Vietnamese War in 1978 – 1979 where the Vietnamese invaded and overthrew its ex-ally Khmer Rouge and the Sino-Vietnamese War where the Chinese attacked Vietnam in return.
What could have been the solutions for both North and South Vietnam?
What caused communism in Vietnam?

Il Pincio di Ancona è un parco pubblico di limitata estensione, ma di grande importanza storica, dato che è il più antico della città, essendo sorto dopo la presa di Roma del 1870. Popolarmente è chiamato a volte Pincetto. Il nome ricorda il famoso Pincio romano, nel quale Mazzini, durante il periodo della Repubblica Romana, decise di porre le statue degli Italiani più celebri e che dunque simboleggia il ruolo di Roma come capitale. Dall'anno 1870, come ad Ancona, anche in altre città italiane sorgono parchi pubblici che richiamano nel nome il Pincio romano, per celebrare la riunione di Roma all'Italia.

Descrizione

Per rievocare il suo omonimo romano, il Pincio di Ancona ne segue le caratteristiche principali: è ricco di sempreverdi, ha un impianto geometrico dei sentieri ed ha un belvedere da cui si gode di un'ampia vista sulla città.

Il parco si estende per circa un ettaro ed è caratterizzato da notevole dislivello, di circa 13 m, tra la quota di via Circonvallazione (96 s.l.m.) e quella su via Vittorio Veneto (83.00 s.l.m.).

Confina ad ovest con le mura della fortificazione napoleonica della Lunetta di Santo Stefano, costruita nel 1799 come avamposto delle mura cittadine e che fu uno dei luoghi di combattimento durante l'assedio del 1849.

Dal belvedere la vista spazia sul mare, sia verso est, ossia verso il Passetto, sia verso ovest, ossia verso il porto, permettendo di percepire la morfologia del promontorio su cui sorge la città. Guardando verso nord, il mare appare tra il colle Guasco e monte Cappuccini e tra quest'ultimo e monte Cardeto. Inoltre, si possono osservare i colli su cui sorgono i rioni storici, il Parco del Cardeto e molti dei principali monumenti di Ancona.

La vegetazione è dominata da pini d'Aleppo, ornielli e alberi di Giuda.

Storia
Il Pincio, dopo la sua costituzione nella seconda metà dell'Ottocento, è rimasto inalterato per circa un secolo. Comprendeva una terrazza panoramica e diversi viali che si dipartivano a raggiera da un piazzale centrale, raggiungendo un sentiero perimetrale. I percorsi erano illuminati con decorativi lampioni a gas illuminante. L'ingresso, segnato da una cancellata monumentale, si trovava all'inizio di via Rodi e da qui un ripido viottolo conduceva al centro cittadino, nei pressi dell'attuale via San Martino.

Intorno alla metà degli anni sessanta del Novecento, il parco subì varie vicende che ne hanno alterato e avvilito l'aspetto: la sua area fu divisa in due da una profonda trincea, su cui si fece passare via XXV Aprile; l'allargamento di via Circonvallazione ne ha ristretto la superficie; i vialetti che si dipartono dal piazzale centrale, a causa di questi interventi, furono troncati e finiscono ora a fondo cieco contro la recinzione. Inoltre, la monumentale cancellata d'ingresso fu smontata e posizionata nell'ingresso secondario del cimitero di Tavernelle; i lampioni in ghisa, risalenti al periodo dell'illuminazione a gas, vennero rimossi; le balaustre architettoniche della terrazza panoramica ottocentesca furono demolite.

Nel 1965, invece, il parco si è arricchito di un nuovo monumento e di un conseguente ulteriore significato: in quell'anno fu infatti inaugurato il Monumento ai caduti della Resistenza.

Monumento ai caduti della Resistenza

All'interno del Pincio è collocato il Monumento ai caduti della Resistenza, con il complesso scultoreo di Pericle Fazzini, inaugurato il 17 ottobre 1965. Dall'ingresso al Pincio di via Vittorio Veneto, una scalinata conduce verso il monumento; a fianco degli scalini, sedici lastre in ferro brunito rievocano con le loro iscrizioni i fatti salienti della Resistenza nell'anconitano.

La scalinata e le adiacenze sono state progettate dall'architetto Paola Salmoni e dal paesaggista Gilberto Orioli. Il cancello d'ingresso , del 1964, è opera artistica in ferro battuto di Giò Fiorenzi, che lo ha chiamato Vele al Vento; composto da rottami di ferro artisticamente composti, simboleggia la tragedia distruttiva della guerra e la sanguinosa lotta per la libertà compiuta con la Resistenza; i rottami diventano però vele al vento, che spingono l'Italia verso la libertà.

Movie Review – Loving (2016)
November 22, 2016 by Robert Kojder 2 Comments
Loving, 2016.
Written and Directed by Jeff Nichols.
Starring Joel Edgerton, Ruth Negga, Nick Kroll, Chris Greene, Bill Camp, Martin Csokas, Sharon Blackwood, and Michael Shannon.
Richard and Mildred Loving, an interracial couple, are sentenced to prison in Virginia in 1958 for getting married
Before even diving into Loving, let's get one piece of business out of the way first; Jeff Nichols is one of the best and most interesting directors of the generation. Earlier this year he released Midnight Special (his first crack at science fiction, telling a road trip story about a young alien boy with potentially dangerous powers he doesn't quite understand) which was already wildly different than anything he has ever done before. Now here he is putting to screen the real-life story of Richard and Mildred Loving, and their battle against the state of Virginia's anti-miscegenation laws.
If there's anything that the contents of Nichols' filmography do share however, it's the rural settings and his knack to wring out some beautiful shot composition out of the green pastures that make up the landscape. A good portion of Loving has the couple driving back and forth between Virginia and Washington D.C. for various reasons, and Nichols enjoys making these quiet moments on the road stand out. It could be due to Richard and Mildred expressing numerous thoughts and emotions toward one another without even saying much of anything, or the aforementioned background scenery which is gorgeously captured. The movie also casts a contrast between rural living and city life, as the law forced the Lovings to pack their bags and leave the state for 25 years. Yes, all this because a white man married a black woman; holy shit we as a society should be ashamed of some of the laws we had back in the day.
Moving along, even though Mildred sends a letter to Bobby Kennedy explaining their situation with hopes that some rights will be wronged, Loving is not a movie about courtroom drama and lengthy dialogue exchanges between lawyers trying to one-up each other. Nichols doesn't do traditional storytelling (something he should always be commended for), instead choosing to focus on the day-to-day life of Richard and Mildred Loving. The decision even makes sense from a narrative perspective as we quickly learn that Richard does not enjoy the public eye or publicity at all; all he wants is to live his life peacefully with his wife and children. And he should be allowed that right, because as he says, nothing they're doing is hurting anyone.
Loving is a very quiet and nuanced film, choosing to explore the dynamics of the relationship between Richard and Mildred. Instead of presenting the situation as something larger-than-life (which is actually ironic, because their case did affect a lot in the end), much of the movie is simply watching these two start a family and grow over the course of 10 years or so. Furthermore, it's not a dialogue heavy film, but when characters do speak to one another, it's assuredly to send a powerful message to both one other and the audience. A particular exchange between Richard and his mother is heartbreaking.
As you would expect from everything mentioned so far, Loving boasts some tremendous Oscar-worthy performances from both Joel Edgerton and Ruth Negga. Starting with Joel, he is a handyman mechanic/construction site worker (he builds their house) that mumbles his way through every line with a heavy Virginian accent, which might seem problematic from an outside perspective, except he nails being able to speak with that strong of a drawl while always being clearly audible to the audience. As for Ruth, she is also very quiet, but a compassionate and tender soul who refuses to be broken by the unruly laws forced upon her.
What both actors have in common however is their ability to make us strongly sympathetic to their plight from body language alone. There's a scene early in the film where the couple are driving through an urban town, being ogled at for how abnormal their relationship was at the time, and during the slow drive Richard and Mildred turn to each other and lock hands. It's just one of many beautiful moments that allow viewers to feel the emotional pain and suffering that the two are coping with.
At one point, Michael Shannon drops by (because it just wouldn't be a Jeff Nichols film without him) for a quick scene portraying a Life magazine reporter/photographer, doing a story on the couple (this is after Mildred's letter is read by Bobby Kennedy and their case gains traction, along with publicity). And it's in these brief moments where the message of Nichols' film shines brightest; these are just two people living a normal life and raising children like every other family. Nichols has some done something wildly unconventional by taking a film about racial segregation and focusing on everything but that and the courtroom, with the result being a powerful slice-of-life film about a family doing their best to ignore the garbage hand they have been dealt, so that they can push on and live their lives. Loving is touchingly tender and one of the most emotionally moving films of 2016, all thanks to its extreme subtly.

heavyshift says
I encourage anyone, who is interested, to watch the documentary about the Lovings. They seemed to be such opposites; he was a totally taciturn blue collar motor-head (in the original photo on the sofa you can see his hands are swollen from bending wrenches) and she exuded such an easy natural friendly grace (even the big time lawyers developed crushes on her). They really had an amazingly rare thing. And the name, I think it's just the Universe having some fun with us.
Robert Kojder says
I haven't seen that documentary but I absolutely picked up on this during the film. I'm actually interested in how they fell in love

Both cities have featured in a lot of movies which makes them even more popular, thereby attracting tourists from across t he globe. And as such giving rise to diverse opinions and preferences among tourists who have visited both cities. But, what is the difference between these two cities? Find out in this article.
New York vs Los Angeles: The Essential Differences
New York and Los Angeles are big cities in the US. However, they have striking differences. These differences are listed below.
1. Los Angeles has higher real estate prices compared to New York City
2. Los Angeles is more affordable than New York City.
3. Public transportation in Los Angeles is cheaper, and the city has more vehicle owners.

For example, the average value of homes in New York City starts from $750,000 to $1 million and beyond. While in Los Angeles, houses go for as high as $990,000 to $1.5 million and beyond.
For rent, one bedroom apartment in New York City centre costs $3,000 to $4,000 monthly on average. This is a bit on the high side compared to Los Angeles, which has single bedrooms that cost $2,700 monthly. Apartments on the outer parts of both Los Angeles and New york city cost less money. NYC Apartments cost around $2400, while Los Angeles costs around $1,950 monthly.
Cost of Living: Which One Is More Affordable?
Although both NYC and LA are high-cost states in the US, the cost of living is generally higher in NYC compared to LA. Salary.com places a 27.9% difference between both cities because a $9,000 standard of living in New York is equal to a $6,200 standard of living in Los Angeles. Let's dive in with instances.
An average meal in a cheap restaurant in New York City costs $25, while it costs $17.5 in Los Angeles. One litre of milk in NYC costs $1.23, while in Los Angeles costs $1.13.

Basic household costs like water, electricity, and garbage cost an average of $164 in New York City and around $137 in Los Angeles.
Getting Around: Public Transportation vs Car Ownership
New York is a large city with a vast and accessible public transport system. However, its transportation system is slightly more expensive than Los Angeles. One of the reasons for its high cost is that its public transit system does not reach every part of the city, so people often drive their cars, incurring car expenses.
About 1.5 million out of 3.1 million households have cars in New York. This is about 50% of its entire population, compared to LA, which has over 85% of its population as car owners with over 2000 gas stations. It is easy to get around NYC because it has walkable neighborhoods. LA is also walkable with good road networks. However, rush hour makes traffic in LA notoriously bad.
In NYC, a single ride on the subway costs $2.75, and a monthly pass costs about $129. However, most bus lines in Los Angeles have one-way rides for $1.75, while the monthly tickets go for $99.5. A taxi's normal tariff costs $4.25 in New York City and $4 in Los Angeles.
Transport systems in both cities do not delay beyond 5 minutes. Los Angeles has 170 bus lines, and about 81% arrive early. Public buses in LA are not considered late until 5 minutes. This same rule applies to New York city trains.
Both cities pay detailed attention to their transportation hygiene levels. Los Angeles and New York ensure that their vehicles and trains are cleaned as regularly as possible, mostly every day.
Although the transport systems in both cities are undoubtedly efficient, Los Angeles has a more affordable system, allowing people to utilize public transportation. LA wins in this category.
New York vs Los Angeles: Is One Safer Than the Other?
According to Rent Own Sell New York, Los Angeles has a higher crime rate than New York City. A report on violent crimes (rape, life-threatening assault, murder, etc.) in both cities revealed that Los Angeles scored 29.1 while New York City scored 24.9.
The property crime rate in both cities is also high as Los Angeles scores 35.1 while New York city scores 24.9. Studies show that New York has an average of 4,000 gun arrests yearly, as the NYC police department reported 2290 gun arrests in the first half of 2021.
Numbeo reported that New York has a crime index of 48.54. It also has a safety index of 51.46, a violent crime probability of 1 out of 172, and a property crime probability of 1 out of 50.
On the other hand, Los Angeles has a crime index of 51.23, a safety index of 48.77, a violent crime probability of 1 out of 134, and a property crime probability of 1 out of 44.
Nyc wins in this context.
Career Opportunities & Overall Job Landscape
Both cities offer career and job opportunities for expats and indigenes. However, they have their specialities in different industries. While both cities have thriving local businesses, New York City has more opportunities in the financial sector, while Los Angeles offers more career opportunities in the entertainment industry.
Although both cities offer many job opportunities, New York City has more high-paying jobs than Los Angeles. According to Numbeo, the average salary in New york city is $6,523 monthly, while Los Angeles pegs at $5,200 monthly.
The highest paying jobs in New York City are the roles of a Consultant and Sales Representative with an average annual salary of $244,000 and a General Surgeon with an average yearly wage of $222,700 annually. For Los Angeles, the highest paying jobs are the roles of a Cardiologist with an average annual salary of $314,000 and a Psychiatrist with an average yearly wage of $305,000.
Are workers more satisfied in New York City or Los Angeles? Individuals who can manage a low standard of living with their high incomes can comfortably stay in New York. However, Los Angeles offers more satisfaction.
Los Angeles vs New York: Lifestyle & Diversity
Talking about the usual lifestyle of people in these cities, what's their pace like, what's the offer of recreational activities, how diverse they are in terms of culture?
The lifestyle of New Yorkers and those in Los Angeles is interesting, to say the least, depending on your taste. They sure know how to have fun at luxury restaurants, clubs, and parties. New York is called the city that never sleeps for a reason, so you can easily order from any store of your choice at 2 am.
With LA being one of the biggest entertainment hubs in the world, their lifestyle is pretty much that of showbiz. They care a lot about their appearances and have quite a slower pace of life.
The diversity of new yorkers can be traced to how they have various languages in the metropolitan areas leading to a perfect blend of cultures. On the other hand, Los Angeles has its fair share of arts, museums and cultural exhibitions, but it is not as diversified as New York City.
Food Scene & Nightlife
Both cities offer interesting nightlives, music concerts, and other events. However, what are their differences?
When it comes to food, New Yorkers know their craft well. As expensive as they may be, New York is one city known for its fantastic food and art combinations with excellent results. From fine dining restaurants like Smith & Wollensky, Club A Steakhouse, and Jungsik, to local cuisines such as 5 Napkin Burger, and Barneys Greenhouse, you need to decide what you want.
Restaurants in Los Angeles are also not short of fine dining, local cuisines, and moderately priced options. Some of them include Le grand restaurant, Musso and Frank Grill, Toast Bakery Cafe, Shin, etc. their famous street food options include tacos, meat skewers, burgers, burritos, etc.
Just as said earlier, to be able to get a good meal for one, you should budget about $17.50 in Los Angeles and $25.00 for new york city. You need about $90.00 in Los Angeles and $95.00 for a three-course meal to feed two people.
If you're new to new york, you should prepare to spend on housing, food, and plan to have fun. While in Los Angeles, you can get lots of fun with less expenditure.
New York vs Los Angeles: Do They Have Access to Nature?
The excitement and thrill that comes with city life are second to none. In the category of access to nature, Los Angeles takes the trophy. The array of beaches, desserts, and mountains are all beautiful scenery you can feed your eyes with. In this city, most people prefer to engage in physical activities and outdoor recreational activities.
In New York City, you can find aesthetically pleasing nature sites. Upstate New York is a perfect example, with stunning scenery. In addition, central park is also one of the good nature parks out there.
Weather: Which City Has a More Pleasant Climate?
The most part of the year is alluring and comforting in LA. Los Angeles has a Mediterranean climate with dry summers and rainy winters. However, the city is prone to natural disasters, which can be a huge turn-off.
New York City, on the other hand, has four seasons that can be downright oppressive. It is suitable for individuals who want to experience all kinds of weather conditions in their strengths, from sun, snow, spring, and fall. It is important to note that its weather quickly switches from zero to a hundred and back again.
Los Angeles Population vs New York: Size Matters
Speaking of their population and sizes, is one bigger than the other? Yes, there are striking differences between them. New York has a more diverse population compared to LA. It is bigger than most east coast cities with a land size of 304 square miles and a population of about 70,000 people per square mile. Los Angeles has a land size of 472 square miles.
If you have an issue with crowds, then you might not want to choose New York City. Los Angeles is quite a full city, but it however has its structures evenly spaced, which allows for it to accommodate more.
Furthermore, with the efficient subway transportation system in New York City, commuting in Los Angeles is relatively more of a hassle.
New York vs Los Angeles: Let's Weigh in the Pros & Cons
Speaking of the cost of living and transportation costs, LA has the upper hand compared to NYC. NYC is a go-to place for ballers and party lovers because they can party all night with food and drinks available. However, Los Angeles has lesser tolerance for late-night parties.
New York City has a higher safety index and better career opportunities. However, it has a higher cost of living and a smaller land size too.
Los Angeles, on the other hand, has a lower cost of living with a more comfortable and stable climate. The city also has an affordable transport system. Its neighborhoods are widely spaced, which actually makes them less walkable.
Which City Is Better to Live in: LA or NY?
For starters, it's good to know that reaching New York has become a bit easier with the ESTA for New York, and the same goes for LA: you can obtain the California ESTA if Los Angeles is your dream destination.
In the end, NYC and Los Angeles are huge cities in the US. However, they have their up and downsides.
Settling in any city boils down to preference. If you are comfortable with harsh climates, high cost of living, and high-income rates, you can opt for NYC. However, LA is your go-to place if you want to enjoy a low cost of living. However, you would need to be security conscious.
Is it easier to live in LA or NYC?
This depends on your preference. If you're looking for a calm environment that can still have fun, then you should consider LA. NYC is your best fit if you don't mind the crowd, a fast-paced life, and 2 am meals.
Is NYC or LA more expensive?
Due to the difference in housing prices, LA is less expensive to live in compared to NYC. In addition, the prices for daily feeding are way lower in LA, whether cooking or eating out.
Is LA richer than New York?
New York is richer than LA due to the numerous wealth inflow into the city. Due to early establishments, taxing systems, and proper management, it has been able to handle and maintain its wealth.
Is LA dirtier than New York?
With both coasts being highly populated, they are both prone to street dirt. However, the streets of LA are relatively cleaner than New York's. According to independent research, New York has been ranked number 1 in dirtiness, with LA following close behind as number 2.
New York City vs. Los Angeles: which coast is the best coast?
The best coast between the two is quite indecisive as they are both commendable cities, and preferences might defer. However, Los Angeles might have the upper hand due to its stable weather, beaches, and nearness to Las Vegas.
New York vs Los Angeles: which is more dangerous?
While New York has a history of violence, it is relatively safe compared to Los Angeles. Los Angeles has a higher crime rate, such as thefts, assaults, and vandalism. You can say New york is easily the safer choice.

Just Go! Nigerians Don't Want A Successor From You – PDP Tells Buhari…Says Mr. President's Channels TV Interview Full Of Lies
January 7, 2022 January 7, 2022 Victor Oriola
The Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) asks President Muhammadu Buhari to end his thoughts of a successor as Nigerians will firmly resist any candidate put forward by him and his All Progressives Congress (APC) in the 2023 Presidential election.
The PDP also berated President Buhari for embarrassing his office and making a huge joke of himself by appearing confused and dwelling on false figures and bogus performance claims in his disastrous Channels Television interview on Wednesday, January 5, 2022.
While we understand that lying is the standard gauge of performance of the APC, it is rather unfortunate that the President is also in that frame. It only reinforces the fact that nobody is immune to lying in the APC. Of course, he cannot extricate himself because lying is the official policy of his party, the APC.
In his ludicrous attempt to rationalize his failures in office, President Buhari falsely claimed that under the PDP, from 1999 to 2014, crude oil sold for an average of $100 per barrel but collapsed to $37 per barrel when he and his APC assumed office.
Such false claims flies in the face of hard fact as the records, which the President must have, clearly show that when the PDP took office in May 29, 1999 crude oil sold at $16.27 per barrel and at about $80.42 and $63.28 by November and December 2014 respectively.
Under President Buhari and the APC, oil price has never fallen as low as $16 per barrel as recorded under the PDP but started at $37 to $39.44 per barrel in 2016 and had continued to hover between $60 to $70 per barrel to date.
It is on record that despite the low oil revenue when the PDP took over, it expanded the economy, paid off our foreign debts, revamped our productive sectors, provided conducive investment environment which encouraged massive foreign investments and handed over a $550 billion economy (largest in Africa and 26th globally) to President Buhari and the APC in 2015.
Mr. President had no answers when, in the Channels TV interview, he was confronted with the facts that when he took over, the debt stock was N12 trillion but now N32 trillion and counting; that inflation, which was about 9 percent under the PDP is now over 15 percent; that unemployment rate, which was about 8.9 percent is now 33 percent, that our naira which exchanged at about N197 to a dollar under the PDP is now over N500 and that the petrol price which was N87 in 2015 is now N165 per liter under the APC watch.
President Buhari should have seized the opportunity provided by Channels TV to show remorse, apologize to Nigerians for his monumental failure and national embarrassment that the APC government represents instead of trying to rationalize APC's failures with falsehood and grandstanding about a successor.
The mindset of Mr. President as exhibited in the Channels TV interview confirms the fears of Nigerians that the APC does not believe in democratic practice and is determined to manipulate the 2023 election by all means.
That explains their desperation to scuttle the Electoral Act Amendment Bill provision for electronic transmission of election results, which will effectively truncate the APC's plans to rig the 2023 election.
However, President Buhari and the APC must know that Nigerians are fully rallied on the platform of the PDP to face them in 2023 and that the resort to underhand processes and false indices like those reeled out by Mr. President in his Channels TV interview will not avail them.

This is HOW you STOP eating!
What do you do when you propose to follow a diet, but food cravings prowl your every step? Here are some tricks that can help resist the temptation!
"Okay, tomorrow I'll start a diet." How many times have you persisted in thinking this way and started with a great morning, but only managed to resist till lunch, when you gave up due to your culinary appetites?
You know it is essential that, once you've decided to lose weight, you must bridle your appetites and do not eat excessive food portions, but do not know how to fight those cravings for sweet or salty that you prowl.
1. Eating a good breakfast!
Never leave home without having breakfast. Prepare something in the evening or do your weekly plan with the options you have for breakfast. If you choose breakfast with cereals and milk, it is better to combine them with vegan milk, to get rid of bloating, gas, constipation.
Also, corn flakes should not be associated with dairy products, as we learn from the British nutritionist Gillian McKeith, from his book Living Food for Health ".
2. Do not forget the snacks!
In addition to the three main meals you should also include three daily calorie snacks that will help you control your cravings.
Choose healthy snacks such as a plain yogurt, 10 raw almonds, a small handful of raw sunflower seeds, apples, 2-3 figs , one grapefruit, one carrot, two pieces of dark chocolate (containing cocoa over 70%), etc..
This is a very important thing, but many people do not comply with it. You must establish a program table to avoid very long breaks in which the body is deprived of food and get to that excessive hunger.
If you eat ordered you will not be tempted to eat everything you find in the refrigerator at night, after you get home from work.
It was shown that the natural extract of stevia rebaudiana calms sweet cravings. It is a sweet herb that contains no calories.
5. Wash your teeth after dinner!
Your brain will associate this act with the feeling of satiety, so you'll be able to calm your eating passions. Another tip you can do is drink a glass of water because it will give you a feeling of fullness that can prevent you from eating something else.
How can you get rid of carvings?
Whatever you crave for, even if it's something salty, sweet or meat, there's a cure for you. You may choose something better instead, and have the same effect.
– appetite for meat is maintained by the consumption of meat industry with low biological value protein (meat, sausage, pate's). May indicate a protein deficiency, but they must be – taken from high quality sources of biological food (fish meat, chicken, tomatoes, eggs, Ricotta, Quinoa, Amaranth).
