Reporting period information
Industry characteristics
Business or organization and contact information
This section verifies or requests basic identifying information of the business or organization such as legal name, operating name (if applicable), contact information of the designated contact person, current operational status, and main activity(ies).
1. Legal name and Operating name
Legal Name
The legal name is one recognized by law, thus it is the name liable for pursuit or for debts incurred by the business or organization. In the case of a corporation, it is the legal name as fixed by its charter or the statute by which the corporation was created.
Modifications to the legal name should only be done to correct a spelling error or typo.
To indicate a legal name of another legal entity you should instead indicate it in question 3 by selecting 'Not currently operational' and then choosing the applicable reason and providing the legal name of this other entity along with any other requested information.
Operating Name
The operating name is a name the business or organization is commonly known as if different from its legal name. The operating name is synonymous with trade name.
2. Designated contact person
Verify or provide the requested contact information of the designated business or organization contact person. The designated contact person is the person who should receive this questionnaire. The designated contact person may not always be the one who actually completes the questionnaire. If different than the designated contact person, the contact information of the person completing the questionnaire can be indicated later in the questionnaire.
3. Current operational status
Verify or provide the current operational status of the business or organization identified by the legal and operating name in question 1. If indicating the operational status of the business or organization is 'Not currently operational' then indicate an applicable reason and provide the requested information.
4. Main activity
This question verifies the business or organization's current main activity as classified by the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS). The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) is an industry classification system developed by the statistical agencies of Canada, Mexico and the United States. Created against the background of the North American Free Trade Agreement, it is designed to provide common definitions of the industrial structure of the three countries and a common statistical framework to facilitate the analysis of the three economies. NAICS is based on supply-side or production-oriented principles, to ensure that industrial data, classified to NAICS, are suitable for the analysis of production-related issues such as industrial performance.
The target entity for which NAICS is designed are businesses and other organizations engaged in the production of goods and services. They include farms, incorporated and unincorporated businesses and government business enterprises. They also include government institutions and agencies engaged in the production of marketed and non-marketed services, as well as organizations such as professional associations and unions and charitable or non-profit organizations and the employees of households.
The associated NAICS should reflect those activities conducted by the business or organizational unit(s) targeted by this questionnaire only, as identified in the 'Answering this questionnaire' section and which can be identified by the specified legal and operating name. The main activity is the activity which most defines the targeted business or organization's main purpose or reason for existence. For a business or organization that is for-profit, it is normally the activity that generates the majority of the revenue for the entity.
The NAICS classification contains a limited number of activity classifications; the associated classification might be applicable for this business or organization even if it is not exactly how you would describe this business or organization's main activity.
Please note that any modifications to the main activity through your response to this question might not necessarily be reflected prior to the transmitting of subsequent questionnaires and as a result they may not contain this updated information.
If the current NAICS associated with this business or organizations is not correct, please provide a brief description of the main activity and provide any additional information as requested.

Scientific American — February 1, 2023. "People can also be exposed by eating animals, says Ramanan Laxminarayan, an epidemiologist and chair of the WHO's Global Antibiotic Research & Development Partnership (GARDP), a nonprofit organization dedicated to developing treatments for drug-resistant infections. He explains that they can get a drug-resistant strain of E. coli from eating improperly cooked meat. This bacterium can cause an intestinal disease, potentially leading to a drug-resistant UTI."

Snowfall, snow accumulation, and stand structure in a primitive Korean pine forest of the Xiaoxing'an Mountains, China, were assessed for 2 consecutive years. Moreover, a physical mechanism-based snow accumulation model, which can be applicable to stand-scale forests, was introduced to simulate snow accumulation in the studied region. The results showed that the mean atmospheric temperature was −17°C during the snow accumulation period. Snow density was lower during snow accumulation period but slightly higher when snow melted. Moreover, when snow accumulated, snow water equivalent was significantly higher in forest clearings than beneath dense canopies, with a maximum difference of >50%. The variability of snow water equivalent in forest clearings was relatively low, whereas that beneath dense canopies was higher. The maximum snow accumulation in the forest indicated a significant negative correlation with canopy density, tree height, effective leaf area, and slope, whereas it indicated a significant positive correlation with canopy width. However, no significant correlation was noted between the maximum snow accumulation and diameter at breast height, basal area, or canopy height. The effective leaf area index and canopy density of the primitive Korean pine forest in this region could be well explained using a power function. As snow accumulated, the presence of forest canopy significantly affected the spatial distribution of snow accumulation in the forest. When snow melted, atmospheric temperature was the main factor controlling snow melting. Canopy density, slope, and canopy width showed a significant impact on maximum snow water equivalent; this factor increased with a decrease in canopy density and slope and with an increase in canopy width. In the present study, slope was selected as one of the main factors affecting snow accumulation in the forest. Therefore, future studies on snow accumulation models should incorporate slope as a parameter to improve simulation accuracy.

When we talk about Archbishop Nicholas of Plovdiv, name one important thing that explains everything else. From the autumn of 1994 to 1996 he was on theological specialization at the Moscow Theological Academy.
He was born on 19.07.1969 in Sofia. He was born in 1919 in Sofia. After military service, he continued his education at the Sofia Theological Seminary, and since the autumn of 1990 he has been a student at the Theological Faculty of Sofia University "St. Nicholas".
Since the head of Pazardzhik is the District Governor Trendafil Velichkov frequent guest is the Metropolitan of Plovdiv Nicholas.
Bulgarian children, educated in the West, are instruments of evil, behaving like religious fanatics, professing a "religion of hate", and the adults who "incite" them should be denounced. This is from the speech of Plovdiv Metropolitan Nikolai on the occasion of the celebration of the 137th anniversary of the Unification. "Since the beginning of the transition, Bulgarians have been sending their children to the West, by the thousands and thousands, to study there and absorb Western values. Now they have begun to return and it turns out that, in addition to the knowledge that we have yet to see them apply, some of them have imbibed contempt for their homeland, disrespect for their parents, extreme individualism, materialism, selfishness and, on top of that, a willingness to impose what they have learned by force, with the methods of the Inquisition,"
According to him, "they talk about politics, but in practice they behave like religious fanatics professing some 'religion of hate', if there can be such a thing."
"This war of hate, in which our children are becoming instruments of evil, must stop immediately. We all have a duty to do so. And if there are adults who are bullying them and taking advantage of their inexperience, they must be severely reprimanded by the whole of society," Nikolai added.
He begins his speech with quotes from his own speech in 2013 when he said:
"You will ask if today, on the day we celebrate the Unification of Bulgaria, the Bulgarian Orthodox Church will say a few words on current political events? Will the Church take sides? What words will it use to describe what is happening. How will it comment on it? What appeal will it make?"
He then lists several headlines from "independent observers" from 9 years ago that focused on hate and adds:
"These are the words of independent commentators and they very clearly name the state our society has fallen into. Hate. A mindlessness. Anger. Selfishness."
But there has been a certain development, today hatred has been personified, says Nikolai and gives examples - the young hated the old, those working in high technology treated ordinary workers with contempt, people from the centre hated those from the suburbs.
"It turns out that you can no longer identify with a certain social circle if you don't necessarily hate people from other social circles. Let's not talk about hatred on political grounds at all, there it already borders on hysteria", concludes the Plovdiv Metropolitan.
He then refers to the Inquisition, explaining in detail that it is "an institution of the Western Church" and that harassment, humiliation and abuse are medieval practices introduced in the West.
"I have the feeling that we are going back to the days of the Spanish Inquisition, when self-absorbed men who had arrogated to themselves secular power burned at the stake those who did not think like them, after contrived, farcical trials conducted supposedly from a position of some values. No values were at stake, only the exercise of brute, inhuman power. About politics presented as religion. I want you to remember very well that the Inquisition, as an institution, is an invention of the Western Church. The harassment, humiliation, mistreatment, and destruction of people because of their beliefs, or because we consider them inferior to us, or simply because we don't like them, are medieval practices introduced in the West, which we in the Holy Orthodox Church consider heretical and strongly reject and condemn. If there the most important value is to exert domination, and the method of achieving domination is "divide and conquer", by sowing hatred, then for us the most important value is love, and the method of reconciling contradictions is called dialogue and conciliarity", says Nicholas.
Archbishop Nikolai of Plovdiv made an extremely sharp comment on Pope Francis' visit to Bulgaria after today's archiepiscopal holy mass in St. George's Cathedral in Plovdiv, BNR reports. He called the visit a "political act" and even suspected dark thoughts behind it.
"The Pope's visit is a political act, the aim is to unite all the churches around Rome and, when the Antichrist comes, the Pope will welcome him," he said.
He said there was no way the Orthodox Church in this country could support such a visit. "We welcomed the Pope as the head of state of the sovereign state of the Vatican, but no one can force us to worship together with him."
Nicholas's words made it clear that he also supports reunification in Christianity, but, apparently, not in the proposed way: 'We all want the Christian churches to unite. However, this can only be done by church people when the bishops get together and discuss how this can be done. The politicians don't want that, they aim for the opposite."
Archbishop Nikolai of Plovdiv cursed practise of yoga , criticized King Kaloyan and revealed that there is an all-out war against the Orthodox Church. All this happened during the presentation of the book "Yoga - a path to darkness" by theologian Darin Alexiev, which took place at the Plovdiv Fair.
The speech of the Plovdiv bishop was the apogee of the evening and managed to eclipse the book itself, it becomes clear from the report of "24 hours". A total of 500 priests and two metropolitans attended the event - Joanik of Sliven and Gregory of Veliko Tarnovo. In the front row was Plovdiv's regional governor Zdravko Dimitrov, who is an old fan of Archbishop Nikolai.
The abrupt turn to the yoga topic began with a reminder of the lawsuit over the ownership of the Patriarchal Cathedral of St. Nicholas. Alexander Nevsky, which was decided in favor of the Orthodox Church in the first instance.
"You all saw how Patriarch Neofit sat on a bank in the courtroom - something unheard of in the entire Bulgarian history. Because some people decided to mock the Church and to take away the Patriarchal Cathedral "St. Alexander Nevsky". Supposedly it was a gallery in the crypt. What is the guarantee that if the church gives it (the cathedral) up, it will not become a place for yoga courses?", the Plovdiv metropolitan, quoted by "24 hours", began to sort out the problems.
He has pointed out that the case is not over and if necessary, he will take the priests to Sofia to help the Patriarchate. Metropolitan Nicholas has not explained how exactly the priests could help, but he has moved on from this lawsuit to stating that "the war against Orthodoxy is a fact." An example of this was the torture to which they were subjected because of the canonization of the martyrs of Batak.
"There was no question of taking away the Church of St. Sunday" in Batak, but to canonize the saints. What is this if not war?" the bishop asked.
He learned from the media that a frontal attack on the church was being prepared and through the history books. They would no longer say that the Bulgarians had converted to Orthodox Christianity 1,150 years ago under the reign of Prince Boris the First, but would talk about Christianity in general.
"In the time of Prince Boris Christianity was united, but no longer. We Orthodox are not to blame for this. The Great Schism was not caused by us. Will someone explain to the children why after 1054 the East and the West went their separate ways? Why do we look different from Western priests, and our churches and icons are not like theirs? Or is that not important," Father Nicholas has gushed on the subject of common history.
He added that since there was to be no Orthodox Christianity anymore, only Christianity in general, someone could ask our priests to take off their races and shave their beards to look more European.
The Bishop of Plovdiv also began to denounce the historical role of the Bulgarian king Kaloyan because of the union with the Catholic Church. Metropolitan Nicholas strongly disagreed with Bulgarian historical scholarship that this was a diplomatic measure on the part of the ruler.
"Three times in Bulgarian history someone has decided to make a union. Always for political and supposedly pragmatic reasons. Simply put - for profit. All three times it ended in failure. It comes to me to say, "O unreasonable Jewrode!"(on Bulgarian Jew- urod, bad word for dark person) I hope they will spare St. Paisii Hilendarski, because his place in the textbooks does not seem very secure either," Nikolai added. He was convinced that one day the Church would become one and united again, but when God asked.
Then he drove the nail in his speech: 'Again someone will say that the Bishop of Plovdiv is crazy and talks nonsense. Those who name the truth in our country consider them mad. But you see what is happening. He is crazy who thinks that there is no war against the faith, but it is in full swing and without a concrete expresser," the bishop said. He denied that he had banned Muslims from working on church renovations.
"Nothing of the sort! I have banned stealing from the repair of temples. We want total control that not a single penny and cent will be misused. And that's why we get total war," Nicholas has said.
Only then did he return to the subject of yoga, giving the floor to theologian Darin Alexiev to present his book. In it, the author claimed that this teaching was being pushed as a religion. It was suggested that the exercises brought health, spiritual harmony and prosperity. There were yoga schools in every major city, but it was a categorical lie that it was a wonderful physical system. "Yoga is the worship of Hindu deities. In Bulgaria, the totalitarian government in the person of Lyudmila Zhivkova tolerated occult teachings," the theologian said.
Yoga was diametrically opposed to Christianity because it deluded man into making his own decisions without seeking help from Jesus Christ.
"With whose permission is a dangerous religious teaching allowed to enter Bulgarian kindergartens and schools? And at the same time the BOC is being given a pass for introducing religious teaching," the author of the book said.
In 2008 the Archbishop of Plovdiv, Nicholas, anathematized Madonna's concert in Bulgaria. Saying that the Devil was waiting for everyone at her concert.
Astronomy and the young
"I am going to interfere drastically with astronomy because it has already interfered terribly with the morals, with the lives of Orthodox Christians in Bulgaria. Tonight the young people will be lying in various meadows to look at the stars and God knows what else they will be doing. These are young people who, instead of studying God the Lord Jesus Christ, study yoga in school, even write about this corrupting gymnastics on the matriculation exam. These young souls are in need of salvation, that is why I am banning the Perseids! Anathema!" So Nicholas condemned the observation of the Perseids meteor shower of stars. But once again, the Lord did not hear the anathema of His bewildered servant - about 100 shooting "stars" per hour were visible in the firmament. According to the Bishop of Plovdiv, the celestial show was predisposing to debauchery.
In 2010, on the 6th of September, the Day of the Unification of Bulgaria, after the liturgy the Archbishop of Plovdiv Nicholas said that ma people who want to unite the nation around materialism and chalga. According to Father Nicholas, Bulgarians now have to choose what they prefer - Europe of faith or Europe of greed. Later in the day, the Plovdiv Metropolitan awarded an order to the mayor of Pazardzhik, Todor Popov, and the prosecutor of Pazardzhik, Stefan Yanev, who prevented a gay pride parade from taking place in the town.
Plovdiv Metropolitan Nikolai lashed out at gays and accused them of sodomite sin in 2013. It is our duty to condemn the most harshly held film festival in Plovdiv, which glorifies vice and promotes the corruption of the family. Our position adheres steadfastly to that of the Holy Synod, which categorically opposes this public, unceremonious and shameful demonstration of Sodomite sin.
Is the Bulgarian Church Moscow's Trojan Horse?
Has the elite of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church fallen under Kremlin influence? On the face of it, a rhetorical question, especially as those in the know explain, the proximity has been around for years, but lately there has been nuance.
Now, however, our bishops are officially deactivated, but the dependencies on Moscow are still very strong. And this is far from the case with the older clergy, who have long resigned themselves to being under the wing of the authorities. The younger bishops have also decided to take this path of subordination and total commitment to the Brothers.
The Synod, as experts on the subject note, has for years not taken a say on any public issue. Most recently, at the events in front of Parliament in January 1997, then-Partharch Maxim and the Synod appeared publicly at the south doors of Alexander Nevsky Cathedral.
Today to meet a bishop, even an ordinary priest on the street is almost impossible, they are moving in cars. The Synod has remained completely silent about the cowida and vaccines, also now that Russia is burning Ukraine.
Insiders say that there are actually three bishops who have a say in the Synod, while the others are just mimans. The trinity includes Nicholas of Plovdiv, Gabriel of Hunting and John of Varna. Of course, the strongest among them is Grandfather Nicholas, but it is Gavrail's Russian connections that stand the most firmly.
It is said of him that he knows nothing but the Russian world, the Russian soul and outlook. Sent to Moscow at the time by the partisan commander Slavcho Transky, he was brought up and educated in Russia, only to emerge later in his homeland as a senior cadre of the church.
A curious and revealing example is a letter from the 1990s, drafted by the then Minister of Finance Muravei Radev. It states that the money of the Bulgarian Orthodox Church has been transferred to a Russian bank, and only two bishops have the right to order transfers. "
They are today's Russian Patriarch Kirill, then still a metropolitan and a KGB officer, and the Bishop of Lovchansk, Gavrail, who would later have an interesting role in the church schism and more precisely in the redistribution of church properties.
But let us return to the present day. At first glance, Patriarch Neofit and Metropolitans Nicholas and John condemned the war that Russia had started. However, in the Patriarch's speech pulled on the war, victims and aggressors are on the same plane and it is not at all clear that Moscow attacked Ukraine and not the other way around.
The Holy Synod in turn tried to explain that it could not criticize the Moscow Patriarchate because it could not interfere and have a position on another parish!
In the same way, the Synod spoke in general terms about the refugees, saying that the issues would be dealt with locally, as had happened with the Syrian refugees, i.e. the complete absence of the Church to comfort and cradle those in need. Moreover, especially for the refugees from Asia, the clergy's position was clear - to go back to where they came from, even though the church is called to comfort all the destitute and suffering.
Let us also recall that Metropolitan Nicholas and his colleague from Lovech, Gabriel, have for years been considered the leaders of the lobby in the Holy Synod that does not want to recognize, of course to please Moscow, the independence of the Orthodox Church of Ukraine. It was granted it by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew back in 2018.
In the beginning, insiders recall that Nicholas gave the impression that he was ambitious to push the Ukrainian autocephaly in Bulgaria. However, this has not happened to this day, but a commission has been made which has never ruled before. That is why it has always been claimed by the Fathers to the Greek media that we are firmly in favour of recognition!
A significant moment is the speech that Metropolitan Nikolai of Plovdiv pulled on the Unification Day this year. In a scandalous speech he strongly condemned the rotten and corrupt West. "Since the beginning of the transition, Bulgarians have been sending their children to the West, by the thousands and thousands, to study there and absorb Western values," he explained and continued with even greater fury.
"Now they have begun to return and it turns out that, in addition to the knowledge that we have yet to see them apply, some of them have imbibed contempt for the native, disrespect for parents, extreme individualism, materialism, selfishness and, on top of that, a willingness to impose what they have learned by force, with the methods of the Inquisition" - considers the "grandfather", who has always impressed with luxury watches and cars that are by no means "made in Russia".
Just a few months before he shared these insights publicly, "Grandpa" Nikolai warmly embraced Russian Ambassador Eleonora Mitrofanova at the unveiling of yet another Russian monument, this time to General Nikolai Brock in Pazardzhik.
Mitrofanova had assured the gathering that "Russia has never been a threat to Bulgaria and has always worked for Bulgarians to determine their own destiny." Side by side with Metropolitan Nikolai then stands out the red oligarch Georgi Gergov. In July, "grandfather" Nikolai made the archon in question honorary consul of the Russian Federation in Plovdiv because of his great kindnesses to the church, including that he gave it some property.
In his turn, the Metropolitan of Stara Zagora "Grandfather" Kiprian also gave a proper account to Mitrofanova. In September, when the war in Ukraine was wiping out the lives of thousands of peaceful Christians, when their homes and also churches were being destroyed, Cyprian presented the ambassador with an honorary plaque and a diploma on the occasion of the 120th anniversary of the consecration of the Church-monument "Nativity of Christ" in the village of Shipka.
Indeed, our bishops send strange signs of homage to Moscow. At the same time, the Holy Synod has not yet found time to respond to the petition submitted on 30 March, which seeks to deprive Putin of the highest award of the Orthodox Church - the golden Order of St. Boris the Conqueror. It was awarded to him in 2003, unclear exactly for what merits. So far, however, no word on whether the golden order will be taken away from him, as if such a question had never been raised.
While the Bulgarian popes, many of whom are known, officially and unofficially, to be under-race cops, nevertheless prefer to be more low-key and not comment on their obvious sympathy for the Kremlin, in other countries the church also performs some combat tasks.
In mid-October, an unusual spy scandal broke out in Norway. It turns out that the Russian Orthodox Church, through a network of parishes in the country, had purchased property next door to NATO military facilities in Norway. At the same time, several Russians have been detained in the country, using professional cameras and drones to film these very sites.
One of those arrested is Andrei Yakunin, whose father, Vladimir Yakunin, is a former head of Russian Railways and one of Kremlin dictator Putin's closest friends. Insiders explain that a major role in the espionage activities of the Russian church in Norway is played by the parish of Epiphany in Bergen, near which, in the town of Håkonsvern, there is a naval base with submarines.
Several years ago the parish purchased a building ostensibly for a house of prayer next to the base. Only services are held there once a year. In the "house of prayer" at that, only the second floor of the building is accessible, and all the windows of the first floor are covered with thick curtains. Another similar 'church' facility is located in Stavanger, next to the NATO Joint Military Centre (command post).
The third suspicious supposedly religious site of the Russian Orthodox Church is in Kirkenes, near the Norwegian-Russian border.
Therefore, the rector of the parish of the Russian Orthodox Church in Bergen, priest Dimitri Ostanin, according to eyewitnesses, gave the impression of a man who was not privy to any secrets.
He even distanced himself from the position of the Moscow Patriarchate, saying that his in-laws were refugees in Norway and his wife's relatives were being bombed in their native Ukraine.
He said the parish in Bergen supports a crisis centre in Ukraine that searches for children under the rubble of buildings destroyed by rocket attacks and takes them to safe places. "That Patriarch Kirill supports this horror, fortunately, does not apply to all who profess Orthodoxy," the priest reiterated.
In Paris, the Russian Orthodox Church has a complex of four large buildings in the city centre.
Moreover, the Holy Trinity Cathedral is surrounded by mysterious office buildings with small windows. The construction of the centre, despite gigantic funding from Russia, has dragged on for almost 10 years due to constant protests from the local community and the distrust of the French authorities, who fear the emergence of a large spy nest in the heart of Paris.
As French journalists have noted, the construction of such a spectacular facility in the centre of the French capital is part of "a global strategy to legitimise the Putin regime in the West with the help of the church, and also a demonstration of Russian influence in France, and in Western Europe".
The Russian "spiritual centre" in Paris happens to be next door to important government buildings. It was officially consecrated by Patriarch Kirill in 2019, and insiders say with bitterness that the Moscow Patriarchate has gradually succeeded in absorbing the Paris archdiocese.
Since the 1920s, it has been the main centre of Russian church life in France, and until recently it was out of Moscow's hands. Having formerly submitted to the odious Russian Patriarch Kirill, the archdiocese is now forced to use all its strength to distance itself from the militaristic stance of its leadership and to prove that "not all Russian Orthodoxy is the same."
Administratively, the parishes of Russian Orthodoxy abroad are subordinate to the Department for External Church Relations in Moscow, whose head is Metropolitan Anthony, extremely close to Patriarch Kirill.
Until July this year, Antony headed the Western European Exarchate in Paris, and when he was returned to his homeland he was already quite openly showing himself to be a devout Putinist, even being among those invited to the Kremlin for the ceremony of the admission of the unrecognised Donetsk and Lugansk republics and two other regions of Ukraine to the Russian Federation. They say the metropolitan will soon come under European sanctions.
Experts are adamant that in many places around the world the "centres of Russian Orthodoxy" are far from being purely religious sites and for many of them the religious function is far from being the main one. Rather, they are fully exploited by the Kremlin's intelligence services and various Chekists venture into them under the guise of
of clerics and monks, archimandrites and bishops. It is no coincidence that many bristle at Moscow's declarations that it will "defend" "Russian interests," "Russian spirituality," but also Orthodox Christians in general in various countries.

Advertising transcreation plays a pivotal role in an international marketing strategy. A variety of techniques are used when crafting advertising content, including idiomatic expressions, double entendres, and references to local traditions or cultural nuances, which lose their impact if translated word-for-word. To protect the brand and everything it stands for, a reliable transcreation service is indispensable.
The importance of brand protection in the internationalization process
The brand of a product or service contributes value that impacts consumers' decisions to choose and purchase. When a customer selects an item or opts for a particular company based on the brand, it is because they resonate with it, forming a connection of familiarity, respect, and trust.
The brand enhances the consumer's shopping experience and elevates the value of the product or service by imparting an identity that customers are willing to invest in. Put differently, the consumer isn't just acquiring the functionality or utility of a product; they are purchasing a brand.
The brand's engagement with the customer cultivates a reputation that goes beyond mere product or service quality. It is formed by the user's perception and their appraisal of the values it embodies.
Establishing a solid brand reputation is challenging, hence the need to protect it throughout all endeavors. In the internationalization of the brand, it is vital to convey the original essence and personality to each audience, expertly woven into the target market's language, distinctive traits, character, and culture. Advertising transcreation serves as the conduit to accomplish this.
Advertising transcreation: tips for brand protection
Are you familiar with the Spanish proverb that says "A donde fueres, haz lo que vieres"? A literal translation into English would be: "Wherever you go, do what you see." However, a transcreator would never render it that way. Instead, they would use the English proverb: "When in Rome, do as the Romans do," which is quite distinct yet conveys the same meaning. This serves as a vivid illustration of the difference between translation and transcreation.
During a company's internationalization process, ensuring high-quality advertising transcreation is crucial to maintain the brand's reputation while translating all the brand's communication actions.
Here are some tips to consider for effectively approaching content transcreation:
- Engage specialized professionals in advertising transcreation, well-versed in the realms of sales and marketing.
- Collaborate with native transcreators of the target language, individuals who not only possess linguistic fluency but also an innate understanding of the local culture and customs.
- Emphasize the preservation of the brand's essence and values when adapting the message to a different language. One advantageous aspect of transcreation is its capacity to deliver entirely distinct content while upholding the original message's intent and objectives.
- Recognize that transcreation entails a more substantial investment compared to traditional translation due to its greater complexity and time demands. Nonetheless, when executed adeptly, this investment effectively reaches diverse markets while safeguarding the brand's reputation.
Entrusting advertising transcreation to the finest professionals, coupled with the right resources such as those offered by Linguaserve, stands as your strongest card in safeguarding your brand.

Look at this beauty titled Holiday Candy Jigsaw Puzzle by Cobble Hill Puzzle Company. The first time I saw it I immediately HAD to have it and it sure is worth adding to my collection! This one will be difficult to locate. Cobble Hill has this candy puzzle.
Overall Experience: Great Cut Quality: Great Board Quality: Firm Shape Cut: Random and various sizes Image Quality: Superb Hardest Area: All areas were tricky Puzzle Dust? None |
Finish Quality: Smooth matte Box Quality: N/A Sealed Pieces Inside Box: N/A Was this purchased new? no Price: Swapped with a Puzzler Recommend Level: High Time: 19.5 hours |
I did manage to get the border done quickly enough having the edge pieces being the most helpful. I seemed to do a LOT of sorting according to patterns on the candy. So off to the side of the puzzle I had basically set up the pieces where I thought they might go. It was like building 2 puzzles. That way I was able to use the shapes of the puzzles to fit on the puzzle with the border completed.
By building a secondary puzzle using the colored patterns into the approximate position on a separate board certainly helped but was extremely slow going. I did not want to clutter the 'main' puzzle image with so many pieces as that was simply not getting me anywhere fast.
It seemed like I built the puzzle from the bottom up which is not my 'norm' but my usual puzzling form was not working. I did not want to become frustrated with it because this puzzle was on my wish list for a very long time so when the opportunity arose for me to acquire it by swapping with another Puzzler, I jumped right on it.
However, for a 500 piece puzzle which can take 4-5 hours turned into almost 20 hours. Yes, this one certainly is a challenge but well appreciated on my wall during this Christmas season!
The matte finish is always nice on these puzzles. As is the cut and quality of Cobble Hill jigsaw puzzles.
In the end, as you can see in the close up photos below, the pieces do fit perfectly smooth together which compliment the extremely colourful and delightful production of the Holiday Candy jigsaw puzzle.
I have also had the pleasure of assembling another very difficult but attractive puzzle by Cobble Hill titled Christmas Balls

About: Mastering the Art of Choosing the Right Jigsaw Puzzle
Tips to Avoid Buying Overwhelmingly Difficult Images
Jigsaw puzzles offer a delightful challenge, but there are times when the level of difficulty can be overwhelming. Whether you're a seasoned puzzler or a novice looking for an enjoyable experience, it's important to choose the right puzzle image that matches your skill level and personal preferences. In this article, we'll explore the world of difficult jigsaw puzzles and provide you with a list of tips to help you avoid buying images that might leave you feeling frustrated.
1. Know Your Skill Level
Understanding your own puzzle-solving skills is key when selecting a jigsaw puzzle. Be honest with yourself about your experience and comfort level. If you're a beginner, it's best to start with puzzles that have a lower piece count and simpler imagery. As you gain confidence and experience, you can gradually challenge yourself with more complex puzzles.
2. Consider the Piece Count
The number of puzzle pieces directly affects the difficulty level. Larger piece counts, such as 1,000 pieces or more, can be more time-consuming and mentally demanding. If you prefer a less challenging experience, opt for puzzles with smaller piece counts, such as 500 pieces or even fewer.
3. Analyze the Imagery
Before purchasing a puzzle, carefully examine the image. Complex and intricate designs, such as landscapes with numerous details or abstract patterns, tend to be more challenging. If you're looking for a less daunting puzzle, choose images with clearly defined sections, distinct colors, or simpler motifs.
4. Read Product Descriptions and Reviews
Take the time to read product descriptions and reviews. Puzzle manufacturers often provide information about the level of difficulty, which can help you make an informed decision. Additionally, reading reviews from other puzzlers can give you insights into the puzzle's complexity and whether it aligns with your preferences.
5. Look for Beginner-Friendly Collections
Many puzzle companies offer collections specifically designed for beginners. These collections often feature puzzles with larger pieces, simpler imagery, or even hints and guidance to assist you along the way. Exploring these beginner-friendly options can be a great way to ease into the world of jigsaw puzzles.
6. Seek Variety in Piece Shapes
Some puzzles feature unique piece shapes that can add an extra layer of difficulty. If you're looking for a more accessible experience, consider puzzles with standard grid-shaped pieces. However, if you enjoy a challenge, look for puzzles with irregular or whimsical piece shapes, as they can make the assembly process more complex and engaging.
7. Check for Puzzle-Specific Features
Certain puzzle manufacturers offer features to indicate the level of difficulty. For example, some puzzles may have a "difficulty rating" on the packaging or specify whether they are suitable for beginners, intermediate puzzlers, or advanced enthusiasts. These indicators can be valuable in making an informed decision.
8. Consider Collaborations with Artists
Many jigsaw puzzle companies collaborate with renowned artists, resulting in a wide range of puzzle images with varying levels of difficulty. Some artists may have a distinctive style that makes their puzzles more challenging, while others may focus on creating accessible and enjoyable designs. Research the artist's work and style to ensure it aligns with your preferences and skill level.
9. Seek Recommendations from Fellow Puzzlers
Engaging with the puzzle community, whether through online forums, social media groups, or local puzzle clubs, can provide valuable insights and recommendations. Experienced puzzlers can share their thoughts on specific puzzle images and brands, helping you make informed choices.
10. Trust Your Instincts
Ultimately, trust your instincts and choose puzzles that genuinely spark joy and interest for you. While it's important to consider the difficulty level, it's equally crucial to select images that you find visually appealing and personally satisfying. Enjoying the process of assembling a puzzle is just as important as the challenge itself.
By following these tips, you'll be better equipped to choose jigsaw puzzles that match your skill level and provide an enjoyable experience. Remember, puzzles should be a source of relaxation and fun, so don't be afraid to explore different options and challenge yourself while staying within your comfort zone. Happy puzzling!

Further plans made for next year's Hailsham Active Community Run
and live on Freeview channel 276
Scheduled to take place on Sunday 19th May 2024, organisers are confident that the next Hailsham Active Run event will be bigger, even better and top the success of the recent running event, where over 500 people participated in 10k, 5k, 3k or all-inclusive 1-mile runs.
The Town Council, which funded part of last year's event, will be supporting the run next year by sponsoring the 5K race, subject to approval by members.
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdThe Town Council will once again be partnering with Hailsham Active and specialist management company, Sport Systems, to organise and promote next year's run. Full details of individual races, entry fees and how to register are available via hailshamrun.co.uk from today [1st September].
Whilst the main sponsor of the run is Hailsham Town Council (subject to approval soon), sponsorship has also been raised from businesses in the community, funds which will go towards the event's overall expenses. Sponsors include Lightning Fibre (1-mile inclusive), Crown Wealth Management (3K) and Hallmark Glazed Extensions (10K).
"We are delighted to again be organising next year's run, complementing our mission to create a healthier Hailsham community," said joint project lead for Hailsham Active and town councillor Mary Laxton.
"In the mid-90s, the town hosted various fun runs but now, running is a growing community activity beneficial to participants' mental health, well-being and helping to combat isolation and stress into the bargain. Of course, like last year's inaugural race, this will again be a prestigious event that will bring in runners and clubs with their families from across the area - in turn benefiting our local economy and town centre trade on the day."
Hide AdAdvertisement
Hide AdCllr Laxton added: "We will be advertising far and wide to spread the word about next year's event, and the run will go ahead regardless of the weather. Applications will be open from next month so let's do this together and help put Hailsham on the sporting map."
Town councillor Karen Nicholls, accessibility lead for the event, commented: "We are encouraging all residents with any form of disability or special need to participate in the 1-mile inclusive run especially, using any form of support that they require. There will be fully accessible facilities available and it's so important to us to be fully inclusive as a community."

Industrial IoT is transforming the way plant environments operate by enabling hyper-connected networks that provide value through smart factories, predictive maintenance, energy management, remote monitoring, and more. This technology empowers industries to optimize productivity, increase efficiency, and reduce costs.
The IoT (Internet of Things), objects and devices of any kind connected to The Internet, is already a reality, and that has come to make life easier for us. Anything that we can imagine can be connected to the Internet and interact without human intervention. It is predicted that somewhere between 20 and 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020, depending on the source, and by 2030 this figure is projected to grow to more than 125 billion connected devices. Its applications are almost infinite, and the sectors in which this technology is applied are increasing on a daily basis.
But the IoT is not only a customer centric technology focused on the service to daily life. Speaking about IoT is to speak about Industry 4.0, or what we know as IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things). Thus, according to a study by the Industrial Communication Report, in 2016 there were 90 million IoT devices in industries worldwide. By 2021 this number is expected to increase to 150 million connected devices.
Industrial IoT does not necessarily mean large systems and machines that carry out complex industrial processes. Industrial IoT can also be small sensor devices capable of providing data, information, and alarms, that help to carry out daily business analysis, taking simple automated actions or starting certain protocols automatically.
IIoT is about creating environments capable of monitoring, collecting information, analyzing data and making decisions immediately in a very effective way using hyper connected networks. Today, there are already thousands of production plants and industrial infrastructures in the world that have hundreds of devices and sensors connected to the Internet, in sectors such as energy, the railway or all the deployments related to Smart Cities. It is also reaching great importance in sectors such as agriculture, health and commerce, but, according to IDC, the highest acceleration will be in the manufacturing and automotive sectors.
All this together with the creation of cyber secure environments, capable of being self-managed remotely, means an unprecedented increase in productivity, performance and efficiency in the the way industrial environments are operated. This translates into significant competitive advantages, new business opportunities and more importantly, significant cost savings.
According to Gartner, by 2022, more than 80% of industrial IoT projects will include Artificial Intelligence, compared to the 10% as of today. This represents a promising future for IoT.
Are you considering how to apply Industrial IoT to your specific case? Do not hesitate to contact us for more information.

Every parent wants to provide their child with the best nutrition possible so they can stay fit and healthy, but this can be a difficult thing to do if you are someone who leads a stressful and hectic life with a busy schedule – which is why it is important to supplement your kids diet with the health drinks for kids and prevent any health complications that may arise as a result of any nutritional deficiency.
Kids have similar nutritional requirements to adults, the only distinction being the recommended intake. Nutrients like Vitamin D, Vitamin A, phosphorus,manganese, zinc, iodine and calcium are some of the essential building blocks for the growth and development of their body.
With nearly 400 million people following a vegetarian diet in India (accounting for almost 23% of our population) it is a very hard task to ensure that children who follow specific diets such as veganism and vegetarianism consume their recommended intake of several micronutrients. Studies have shown that nearly 70% of children under the age of six were severely deficient in several essential nutrients – exhibiting signs of complications like anemia and osteoporosis.
Let us have a deeper look at Gritzo super milk and understand how it is the best protein powder for child in India.
Benefits Of Gritzo Supermilk
Gritzo Super Milk has been specifically designed using clinically researched and proven ingredients such as electrolytes, micronutrients, and proteins to provide a valuable nutritional experience for your child. Supplementing your kid's daily diet with the best protein powder for child in India can be beneficial to their health in a lot of ways, such as :
- Boosts recovery and strength: Our product contains naturally sourced whey protein- which is essential for reducing lactic acid buildup and aiding muscle recovery. Additionally, Gritzo Super Milk is loaded with micronutrients and minerals like magnesium, zinc and Vitamin D that are known to improve rest and recovery rates, especially among children who participate in athletic activities.
- Aids brain development: Gritzo Supermilk is not only an excellent source of protein but it also contains DHA, which is a form of omega-3 fatty acid that has been linked with improving cognitive development. Studies have shown that the consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids is also beneficial for reducing oxidative stress on the organs, improving sleep patterns, and alleviating joint pain – making our product the ideal supplement for kids aged seven to nine.
- Improved energy levels: The best protein powder for child in India also helps in supplying the body with necessary calories in order to regulate its energy levels. Gritzo Super Milk is not only credited with optimizing the consumption of protein, it is also responsible for improving muscle function and aiding overall physical development. Our product also contains essential micronutrients and minerals that are designed to improve metabolic function and eliminate toxins from the body – thereby increasing your child's energy levels.
- Boosts the immune system: Our product is also very beneficial for boosting immune function in kids as it contains high levels of Ascorbic Acid, also known as Vitamin D3. In addition to this, it is also an excellent source of protein, which aids the production of amino acids, fulfilling the nutritional requirements of several age groups. Optimum consumption of these micronutrients helps in improving the production of white blood cells (also known as lymphocytes) which are designed to ward off any foreign substances to the body and to keep common health issues at bay.
- Improves bone strength: Gritzo Super MIlk is one of the best protein powders for child in India as it helps in the development of strong and sturdy bones. Our patented formula contains calcium citrate malate – which is a highly bioavailable form of calcium. This ensures that it is absorbed by the bones more easily than other sources of calcium, which is supplemented by the inclusion of vitamin D3, a nutrient that helps in increasing the speed of calcium absorption by three times.
- Improved physical performance: In addition to protein, the Gritzo Super MIlk formula also comprises other important vitamins like vitamin B5 and Vitamin B9 that help in improving stamina and endurance of children. It also contains electrolytes for hydration, and zinc for improving brain to body response. Studies have shown that the supplementation of Vitamin B5 is also essential for increasing neurological reactions to external stimuli – causing an improvement in automated reflex actions.
- Good source of amino acids: Amino acids are the essential building blocks of your child's nutrition and cannot be synthesized by the body, requiring them to be absorbed via an external source. Children require amino acids to carry out vital functions like assisting the growth and development of bones, regulating gut health, and aiding the production of neurotransmitters. Research has indicated that the lack of amino acids can lead to complications such as weakened immune system and stunted growth.
In addition to this Gritzo Supermilk also takes steps such as ensuring that no preservatives or artificial colouring substances are added, uses high quality milk based whey protein that is easy to digest, is completely free of trans fats and vegetable oils, and omits the usage of soya protein and high fructose.

Watch Ivy Sole Perform "Life" from the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Ivy Sole calls Philadelphia home, so it was only fitting we saw her perform mere feet from the iconic stairs Rocky ran up at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. The rapper took over the museum's Final Fridays series to run through a 50 minute set that perfectly summarized her vibe to new eyes and established fans alike.
The great hall, with its giant stairwell providing seating and a huge golden statue looking over the scenery, was an idyllic setting for Ivy to display her talents. She performed with a full band of guitar, keys, bass, drums, and herself on the sampler.
Check out the Ivy Sole You Feel Me? Podcast Interview.
Watch Ivy Sole's Full Performance Below.
Let's be honest, gigs at public spaces like this are an uphill battle. Museums have reputations to uphold so they probably don't want things getting too rowdy, and in an environment like this no one really wants to be the first person to break norm and turn up. So the audience was a bit subdued, and really far away from Ivy, so there was a bit of a disconnect at times. But she still performed with confidence and grace and had the diverse crowd of literally all ages (from toddlers to grannies) finding common ground in vibing to Ivy Sole records.
Be sure to look out for her new record Overgrown wherever you stream music.

Rainforest Alliance with funding from the Norwegian government through NORAD has partnered with Community Based Organizations (Edmark Rescue Foundation and Ark Development Foundation) and community volunteers to meet with government agencies and cocoa companies in a bid to discuss commitments made by them towards eradicating forced and child labour in their local communities.
This judicious step of bringing together government and stakeholders in cocoa and goldmining with community representatives, is the first in a series of joint quarterly dialogue to take place in the project districts of Atewa East, Wassa Amenfi West, Bibiani-Anhwiaso-Bekwai and Atwima Mponua in the Eastern, Western, Western North and Ashanti regions respectively.
At a day's dialogue held in the Atewa East District capital of Anyinam, in the Eastern Region, participants discussed amongst other things observation in the past four months about fulfillment of the various commitments in their communities.
Dr. Albert A. Arhin, a consultant on the project, revealed that 34% of community members interacted with in the project communities feel that though government and especially cocoa companies are supporting with implementation of interventions, they are not doing enough to tackle the root causes of child labour in their communities.
He added that 57% of community members surveyed do not believe that child labour or forced labour will ever be reduced in the communities if commitments are not fulfilled and communities are not engaged in discussions about the interventions that will benefit them most.
The Senior Project Manager, Forced and Child Labour at Rainforest Alliance, Mrs. Joyce Poku-Marboah, said that when government, cocoa and goldmining companies are able to fulfill their commitments, it would make it easier to achieve the objective of eliminating child labour from cocoa, agriculture and goldmining.
She added that prior to this first dialogue meeting, capacities of CBOS and community volunteers were built to do their own advocacy towards government and companies on interventions that are being implemented to eradicate child and forced labour in their communities.
She opined that it's imperative that community members are always consulted by stakeholders about the kind of interventions that will best serve their needs towards eradicating the menace.
In a plenary after group discussions, Government representatives and cocoa companies, committed to continue with awareness raising and other interventions including remediation of children involved in or at risk of child labour.
It is anticipated that these engagements will enable government and companies to act and commit to their own plans, strategies and activities designed to eliminate child labour from these communities.
It was expected that by the next quarterly meeting, more would have been done at the community level by government and stakeholders in cocoa and goldmining.
Government, cocoa and gold companies need to be the friend that the communities would rely on as partners for solutions to this menace.
Both Dr. Albert Arhin and Mrs. Joyce Poku-Marboah stressed the need for collaboration among institutions and the communities as no single institution can win the war against forced and child labour due to its complex nature that makes it a shared responsibility.
They also laid emphasis on the fact that there is a difference between child work and child labour and not every work a child gets involved in is child labour.
The meeting brought together representative from the Atewa East District Assembly, COCOBOD, Olam Food Ingredients (Ofi), and Federated Commodities (FEDCO), religious leaders and educationists who are all duty bearers in the fight against forced and child labour.

"There's always pizza!"
Reference: As the crowds increased, Jesus said, "This is a wicked generation. It asks for a sign, but none will be given it except the sign of Jonah. (Luke 11:29 NIV)
Explore: I'm not very adventurous with my cooking. I cook so that all the family eats, rather than creating a new taste-sensation.
Whenever I try something new, it's always a bit of a gamble. If it goes horribly wrong then I have the complaints of a whole family.
The common saying in our house when I'm cooking something new is, "There's always pizza!" If it was all to go terribly pear shaped then I'd just throw the whole meal out and get take away.
Application: It's nice to know I have the option of starting completely from scratch. I would think if my wallet was empty and I only had a few things in my cupboard, I may not be so hasty to throw the failed meal away.
Thankfully, God is not as flippant with His things as I am with mine. As humans, we have failed Him more than my cooking has failed me, and yet He continues to bother with us.
In the time of Jonah He promised never to wipe out the world again. And He has kept that promise.
Let us not forget the incredible grace of our Lord. Let's remember His love and faithfulness, no matter how much of a failure we may be.
Prayer: Lord, thank You for Your persistent dedication to us. May we never forget how much You have redeemed us. Amen.
What aspect of your life has been covered by grace?

Leng Shaoting didnt look tired at all when he got back home this time, because he had taken the power crystals that Gu Ning gave him.
Once he was back, he hugged Gu Ning tightly in his arms, as they stood in silence."Have you eaten" Gu Ning asked later.
"Not yet," Leng Shaoting said.
"Let me cook for you," Gu Ning said.
"Great." He was always happy to watch his beloved girl cooking for him.
"A bowl of noodles will be fine."
"No problem, go have a shower first," Gu Ning said.
"Sure," Leng Shaoting said then walked into the bathroom.
When he came back after taking the shower, the noodles were already down and Gu Ning placed the bowl on the dining table.
Leng Shaoting sat down at once and enjoyed his simple dinner.
After having dinner, Leng Shaoting said to Gu Ning with a serious face, "Ningning, I need your help."
Gu Ning was surprised and asked, "What happened"
"We had field training at the training base not long ago, but three soldiers inexplicably went missing.
Although there are surveillance cameras in the woods, the woods are too large to be monitored completely, so the three soldiers are nowhere to be found now.
I think it probably has something to do with monsters or ghosts.
I didnt report it to the military leaders, because they wouldnt believe it, and it wasnt determined yet.
I only learned about monsters and ghosts after you became my girlfriend.
You know a lot more about them than we do, and you also have a pair of Jade Eyes, so it should be much easier for you to find some clues.
Can you help me deal with it" Leng Shaoting said.
Leng Shaoting honestly didnt know what else he could do, so he had to turn to Gu Ning for help.
Hearing that, Gu Nings expression also became serious.
She agreed with Leng Shaoting that it might have something to do with monsters or ghosts.
Since Leng Shaoting needed her help now, Gu Ning definitely wouldnt turn him down.
Even if Leng Shaoting didnt need her help, she would still do something once she learned about this terrible news.
"Of course I can help.
When should we go there" Gu Ning asked.
"The sooner, the better.
We can go there right away," Leng Shaoting said.
Gu Ning nodded, and they left the house together without delay.
The training base of the military was located deep in the mountains, so it was far from the city center.
On their way, Gu Ning received Zi Beiyings call and Zi Beiying invited her to hang out together, but because Gu Ning wasnt free, she told Zi Beiying to call Xu Qinyin.
Xia Maiqi was busy with work that night, so Zi Beiying felt a little lonely.
It was still early, so Zi Beiying wanted to hang out.
Even though Mengda and Nan stayed with her all day, she still felt bored hanging out with them all the time.
Hearing Gu Nings advice, Zi Beiying thought that it was a good idea and called Xu Qinyin afterwards.
They got along well with each other.
In addition, Xu Qinyin was Gu Nings friend and Xu Jinchens younger cousin, so Zi Beiying felt somewhat familiar with Xu Qinyin.
Actually, because of Zi Beiyings special family background, she couldnt make as many friends as she wanted.
She didnt have many friends, but her friends were all very close to her.
Zi Beiying also tended to keep her family background a secret from others, Gu Ning was included.
Even if Leng Shaoting might have told Gu Ning something about her family, she wouldnt talk about it with Gu Ning of her own accord.
At this time, Xu Qinyin felt a little lonely and bored at home too.
Gu Anna wasnt in the capital, and she didnt want to hang out with her other friends.
All of a sudden, she received Zi Beiyings call, which cheered her up.
Xu Qinyin had a good impression of Zi Beiying, so she agreed at once.
She asked Zi Beiying to go with her to meet Xu Jinchen.
Zi Beiying felt slightly excited when she heard that they would have fun with Xu Jinchen tonight.
When Zi Beiying arrived at the appointed clubhouse, she saw Xu Qinyin and Xu Jinchen.
"Hi, I have a piece of terrible news to tell you.
I ran into the woman named Wu Mina today.
She tried to pour a pot of hot soup over me, but Mengda caught her and kicked the pot causing her to pour the hot soup over herself.
She was scalded," Zi Beiying said to Xu Jinchen.
Knowing that, Xu Jinchen was displeased.
To his astonishment, Wu Mina ignored his warning.
Although Zi Beiying was fine, he still felt a little guilty.
"Im so sorry to hear it," Xu Jinchen said.
"Ill warn the Wu family to stop her harassing you."
"Thanks, but I dont care about her actually.
She is a weak woman and no match for me," Zi Beiying said.
"Beiying, what do you think of Jinchen Isnt he a very good man" Xu Qinyin suddenly asked.
Hearing that, both Zi Beiying and Xu Jinchen were struck dumb for a second.
Xu Jinchen flushed a little and stopped Xu Qinyin at once.
"Qinyin, what are you talking about"
"What I think you two could be a great couple," Xu Qinyin said.
Although she didnt know much about Zi Beiyings family background, the Xu family didnt care much about it anyway.
Moreover, she thought that Zi Beiying and Xu Jinchen were very familiar with each other.
