Pets for studWanted petsBreedersAccessories & services
Knowledge hub
Support & safety portalIf you share a home with a dog and a cat, the chances are that on the odd occasion you run out of dog food and give them a can of cat food instead. If the truth be known it would do them no harm to have a little taste of cat food on the odd occasion. However, a dog's nutritional needs are a lot different to that of their feline counterparts which means if fed cat food over a long period of time they can develop certain avoidable heath issues. Cat food is specifically formulated for cats and therefore does not contain all the nutrients a dog needs to remain healthy. However, as any pet owner knows if given the chance our lovely canine companions like nothing more than to steal a cat's food which is why many people tend to put their food bowls on a work surface rather than on the ground where their pooch can get at them.
Cats actually need higher levels of protein in their diets and the reason for this is they are "obligate carnivores" which means they need to eat meat which is animal-sourced. Dogs, however are omnivores and can be fed proteins which are both animal-sourced and other. As such our canine companions do not need to eat as much protein to remain strong and healthy. Commercially produced dog food has to contain a minimum level of protein which is set at 18% which meets their basic needs. Commercial cat food, on the other hand must contain a higher level of meat-sourced protein which is typically around 26% which is considerably higher than that for dogs.
Cats need higher levels of fat in their diet which translated means they need to eat food that boasts more calories which is around double the amount their canine counterparts need. This may not sound a lot, but over a time the higher levels of protein and fat in cat food, when fed to dogs, will take a toll on their health and their weight. In short, cat food is much too rich for dogs and could over time lead to them becoming obese.
A dog's digestive system is not designed to digest lots of fatty rich foods which means when they eat too much, they often suffer from digestive issues which could lead to vomiting and bad cases of diarrhoea which in turn leads to them becoming dehydrated which can negatively impact their kidney function.
Cat food contains different levels of vitamins and minerals than that of dog food because their needs are very different. This can lead to excesses in certain levels and deficiencies in others. Dogs need more zinc and Vitamin E in their diet which means they don't get enough of both when fed cat food. Cat food also contains taurine which dogs don't actually need to remain healthy.
Our canine companions need more carbohydrates in their diet and cat food just does not contain enough which means a dog would not get all the "energy" they need on a daily basis. Carbohydrates can make up to 50% of dog food which provides them with all the energy then need. Cats get it from the fat content found in their food.
Cats need to be fed a high protein diet which may be okay to feed to puppies when they are still growing and very active adult dogs, but for older or unhealthy dogs, it can present a lot of problems. Firstly, they would have a really hard time digesting their food which in turn puts a lot of stress on their systems. Dogs that suffer any sort of kidney disease should not be fed high-protein food because it will negatively impact their kidney function making their condition that much worse. Any breed of dog that's prone to suffering from diabetes should not be fed a high-protein diet either.
There are times when you may have to give your dog a can of cat food because you've run out of their usual food. However, this should only be an occasional thing because if you feed cat food to a dog long-term, it could lead to all sorts of health issues. It could result in a dog developing quite serious digestive problems. A dog's nutritional needs are very different to that of cats with the latter being far too rich and fatty for dogs to be able to cope with. If you share your home with a cat and a dog, it's best to feed your feline friend where your pooch can't steal their food whether it's on a work surface or in a different room where your dog is not allowed to go to avoid any digestive and other health issues from developing.

text: TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Japans Kanako Murakami took gold in the womens competition at the Four Continents after a brilliant performance in the free skate on Saturday despite a lingering ankle injury. Murakami finished 10 points above Satoko Miyahara, also from Japan, whose free skate performance vaulted her from fourth to second overall. Despite a sore ankle hindering her practice, the 19-year-old Murakami hit a triple toe-triple toe combination, triple lutz and triple flip-double toe for her first gold at an international championship event. Ahead of her first Winter Olympics next month, Murakami earned a segment score of 132.18 and overall total of 196.91. "I was anxious the whole time because of my leg," Murakami said.

Making her Four Continents debut, the 15-year-old Miyahara produced a stellar performance which included a triple lutz-triple toe and double axel-double toe combinations for 126.26 in the free skate and a total of 186.53. "I know this will be a great start for the next season," Miyahara said. Li Zijun of China took bronze, ahead of Haruka Imai of Japan and Courtney Hicks of the United States in fourth and fifth respectively. The 17-year-old Li enjoyed a season best of 118.72 for a total 181.56 with a triple flip-double toe and double axel-triple toe combinations.

Annie Easton, like many women her age, is trying to have it all. She's looking to change her life, but not her weight. In fact, her body positivity is just about the only thing positive in her life, between her sickly parents, perfectionist boss, and bad boyfriend after bad boyfriend. Based on the book "Shrill" by Lindy West, the Hulu adaptation is entering its second season with a show that's as thought-provoking as it is hilarious.
Here's everything you need to know to watch Shrill online.
Shrill cast
- Aidy Bryant as Annie Easton
- Lolly Adefope as Fran
- Luka Jones as Ryan
- John Cameron Mitchell as Gabe Parish
- Ian Owens as Amadi
- Julia Sweeney as Vera
- Daniel Stern as Bill
- Patti Harrison as Ruthie
When does Shrill season 2 premiere?
The second season will be available for streaming on Jan. 24 exclusively on Hulu.
How to stream Shrill season 2 online
Don't go channel surfing thinking you'll come across Shrill. The true crime anthology series will only be available on Hulu. Here are three ways to catch it depending on your streaming needs.
1) Hulu
- Cost: $5.99-11.99
- Hulu devices: Roku, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire Stick and Fire TV, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, and iOS and Android devices.
Hulu's basic service grants you access to its massive library of on-demand content that's made the streaming giant a household name. This includes hit movies, classic TV shows (Seinfeld, King of the Hill), and deep cable cuts like House Hunters, and of course, Shrill. Plans start as low as $5.99 per month, but if you want to stream and you can even customize your plan with premium channels like HBO, Showtime, and Starz. For a few dollars more a month, you can enjoy Hulu's extensive library free of commercials. (Here's more info on Hulu's basic plans)
- The best new movies on Hulu: 2018 new releases to watch
- The best thrillers on Hulu
- Funny movies on Hulu when you need a good laugh
- 10 sad movies on Hulu guaranteed to make you cry
2) Hulu with Live TV
- Cost: $54.95 per month
- Hulu devices: Roku, Apple TV, Google Chromecast, Amazon Fire Stick and Fire TV, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Nintendo Switch, and iOS and Android devices
- Local channels: ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, the CW (check your local availability here)
If you're looking to finally cut the cord, Hulu with Live TV may be your best option. Hulu with Live TV is one of the most popular ways to stream live TV, perhaps because you gain access to a massive library of on-demand content including classic and current TV shows, movies, not to menti0n Hulu's original programming. That includes Shrill, of course. As far as live-streaming goes, you'll have almost 60 channels to flip through, including HGTV, a full suite of ESPN channels, Cartoon Network, FX, and even deep cuts like Nat Geo Wild and Syfy. (Here's the complete list of Hulu Live TV channels.)
3) Spotify Premium
- Cost: $9.99 per month
If you sign up for Spotify Premium, you'll automatically receive a free Hulu subscription. There are a few catches: It won't work with Spotify Premium for Families, you can't upgrade to Hulu with No Commercials, and you also won't be able to add premium channels like HBO. (You can find more details in our guide to Spotify with Hulu.) But if you're looking to pair a music streaming service with your TV needs, this deal potentially offers the best of both worlds.
Still not sure what to watch on Hulu? Here are the best movies on Hulu, what's new, the best shows on Hulu, the sexiest movies you can stream on the service, Hulu documentaries, anime, and the must-see Hulu originals.
Looking for something more specific? Here are the best thrillers, serial killer movies, and action movies to get your heart racing, classic movies when you want a blast from the past, sad movies when you need a good cry, adult cartoons, and funny movies on Hulu when you need a good laugh.

Decades of research have emphasized the role that coercive and ineffective discipline plays in shaping child and adolescent conduct problems, yet an emerging body of evidence has suggested that parents' emotion socialization behaviors (ESBs) (e.g., reactions to emotions, discussion of emotions, and emotion coaching) may also be implicated. This meta-analysis examined concurrent and longitudinal associations between parental ESBs and conduct problems, and tested for moderators of these associations. A systematic search identified 49 studies for which data on concurrent associations between ESBs and conduct problems were available (n=6270), and 14 studies reporting on prospective associations (n=1899). Parental ESBs were found to be significantly associated with concurrent (r=−0.08) and prospective (r =−0.11) conduct problems, in the order of small effect sizes. Key findings of moderator analyses were that ESBs were more strongly associated with conduct problems at younger ages and when ESBs were focused on the socialization of negative rather than positive emotions. Findings support the integration of ESBs into family-based models of antisocial behavior, and have the potential to inform the design of parent training interventions for the prevention and treatment of child conduct problems.

MetroWest is one of Orlando's most loved communities. Having been master-planned into existence back in the '80s, MetroWest is probably as close as it gets to a Floridian Utopia. The town has won several awards for both its beauty and its safety.
Another huge benefit to living in MetroWest? It's now home to Florida's best medical marijuana doctors! Getting started with said cannabis is simple: just stop by CannaMD's new local office, which sits alongside the beautiful MetroWest Golf Club.
The cause for cannabis
If you live in MetroWest, congratulations — you're living in one of your state's best planned, most well thought-out communities. But have you made an equally strong plan for other areas of your life? What kind of plan do you have for your health? Are you being intentional about what you eat, what you drink, and how you feel?
Regardless of your answers to the above thought exercises, cannabis could help. We like to view medical marijuana as a type of catalyst that makes living the healthy life easier. If you have arthritis, it could relieve your pain enough to get you active again. If you have sleeping problems, it could help you get enough sleep to do more than just get through the day.
And at the heart of all these potential benefits is marijuana's effect on stress. "The biggest killer on the planet is stress," Willie Nelson has famously stated, "and I still think the best medicine is and always has been cannabis." Studies going back to the '90s seem to agree — cannabis has a direct effect on detrimental stress hormones. By promoting full body balance, cannabis may help your body overcome stress and focus on the things that actually count.
Medical marijuana: seeing past the myths
All these benefits might seem like a little much, especially if you've subscribed to marijuana misinformation in the past. Doesn't it make people overweight, courtesy of the munchies? Doesn't it make people lazy, like the prototypical stoner?
You might be surprised to learn the answer is NO. These myths (and countless others like them) actually have no grounding in science.
Like we said earlier, cannabis is a catalyst for change. Many people find themselves moving more and losing weight — not gaining it — when they incorporate the right type(s) of medical marijuana into their daily life. In fact, one study of over 2,000 people found that "current marijuana use was associated with 16% lower fasting insulin levels" (i.e., improved metabolism, especially the metabolism of carbs) and "smaller waist circumferences."
Additional data out of Colorado shows that many people use cannabis as a means to heighten their appreciation of nature — it makes a great companion for hiking, biking, beach-going, and more.

Athletes youthful zeal elate OYDC
Written by Millennium on June 7, 2019
MUKWIMA CHILALA writes
THE Olympic Youth Development Centre (OYDC) is happy with the high level of competition among athletes taking part in the Teulings Youth Sports Challenge from the time the new season opened in March this year.
Programmes officer Mellissa Manjonga said the athletes had continued to show the zeal for netball.
Manjonga said the commitment was keeping the athletes busy from indulging in illicit activities in their communities.
She said the centre organised the competition to allow young talented athletes to be engaged in organised competitions and training.
Manjonga said she was impressed with Olympafrica who had continued to develop since the competition started.
"Last weekend we managed to have netball where we had different teams from different communities which includes Chipata, Mandevu, Matero and Northpark," she said.
"I was impressed with how Olympafrica managed to play. This is a team which has developed since we started Tuelings, and the good part of this competition is that no team is going to be a consistent winner of the league, as teams manage to beat each other.
Majonga urged communities and schools to take advantage of the competition, which was aimed at producing what she termed as podium athletes.
Olympafrica Netball Team last weekend dominated the Teulings Youth Sports Challenge winning all the games played in a competition that attracted over 20 teams.

Honor Credit Union Taking Applications For Teacher Awards
Honor Credit Union is now taking applications for its annual Teacher Awards. Honor CU Brand Specialist Kayla Smith tells WSJM News this is the eleventh year for the Teacher Awards, and they come at a time when teachers face extra challenges.
"We want to give back to those who are supporting the students," Smith said. "Our educators put in long hours every year, but this year has been different for everyone, as we know, with the pandemic and the different guidelines that have been put into place."
Smith says 70 teachers in communities served by Honor Credit Union will receive $200 Amazon gift cards. That's twice the usual award amount and nearly twice the usual number of teachers selected. To enter, a teacher must explain in 200 words or less how they would use an additional $200 to benefit their classroom and students. The deadline to apply is November 20, and the website is right here.

New Bill Proposed Promoting International Marketing Funds
September 20, 2004
New Bill Proposed Promoting International Marketing Funds
September 20, 2004 – According to TIA, Congress will consider new international marketing funds this fall. This measure would appropriate $20 million to help market the U.S. as an international travel destination. The bill would provide funding for the Departments of Commerce, Justice, and State, among others.
Senator Ted Stevens of Alaska introduced the bill (S.2809), which states:
[S.2809 UNITED STATES TRAVEL AND TOURISM PROMOTION ADVISORY BOARD For necessary expenses of the United States Travel and Tourism Promotion Advisory Board, as authorized by section 210 of Public Law 108-7, for programs promoting travel to the United States including grants, contracts, cooperative agreements and related costs, $20,000,000, to remain available until September 30, 2006: Provided, That the Secretary of Commerce shall apportion and obligate these funds to the United States Travel and Tourism Promotion Advisory Board by not later than December 31, 2004.]
According to the Commerce Department, this is the government's first sponsored effort to promote inbound tourism, which will include $4 million advertising and public relations program, as well as a Web site. Private sector travel companies can invest $500 to $250,000 until Oct. 8 to become part of the campaign.
TIA is working closely with the Commerce Department on this effort. In 2000 TIA opened offices in London, Tokyo and Sao Paulo and launched the worldwide SeeAmerica campaign in anticipation of the government joining the industry in the establishment of a more substantial partnership. The U.S. is the only major industrial country where the government does not play a role in promoting inbound tourism.

Gold Retreats From Record High as Fed Pivot Bets May Be Overdone
Bloomberg News
,(Bloomberg) -- Gold retreated from its record high as the US dollar and bond yields advanced amid signs that traders' aggressive pricing of Federal Reserve rate cuts may have gone too far.
Bullion fell as much as 2.5% Monday in New York trading after leaping by more than 3% in Asia trading to hit a record $2,135.39 an ounce, surpassing the previous all-time high set in August 2020.
Gold's rally to a record had been turbocharged by Fed Chair Jerome Powell's Friday comments that traders interpreted as signaling a pivot toward rate cuts, spurring a plunge in greenback and Treasury yields. Those bets on Fed cuts are now being seen by the market as overdone, with Goldman Sachs calling the level of easing priced in by financial markets "excessive". Such views coincided with Monday's gains in bond yields and the dollar.
The yellow metal typically has an inverse relationship with bond yields, falling as rising interest rates offer a more appealing alternative to gold, which pays no interest, and rising as they fall.
"It's probably premature to say the Fed is pivoting and that we'll have a continuous decline along the yield curve," Bart Melek, global head of commodity strategy at TD Securities, said in a BNN Bloomberg interview. "Given all the economic data, it's not all certain that the Fed is ready to pull the trigger and lower rates just yet."
Melek said "buying exhaustion" was hitting the precious metal after the record high.
Some analysts argued that gold's surge to a fresh record was overplayed, and prices slid Monday to as low as $2,020.20 an ounce in New York. Early Monday's sharp downward move looks like it was "more driven by stop-loss orders," said Kelvin Wong, a senior market analyst at Oanda Asia Pacific Pte Ltd., who warned of a risk of a short-term pullback.
Bullion's strength has been underpinned by a wider array of factors, from a wave of purchases by governments and central banks to geopolitical uncertainty, with 41% of the world's population due to go to the polls next year.
Gold "is the answer for many things at the moment – whether it's inflation carrying on, rate cuts or the uncertainty with very costly wars going on," said Jo Harmendjian, portfolio manager at Tiberius Group AG.
Gold has risen more than 600% since the turn of the millennium, though adjusted for inflation it remains below the high of $850 touched in January 1980, which would be equivalent to more than $3,000 in today's dollars.
The yellow metal typically has an inverse relationship with bond yields, falling as rising interest rates offer a more appealing alternative to gold, which pays no interest, and rising as they fall.
It has gained more than 10% since early October, as Treasury yields and the dollar have fallen amid growing expectations for US rate cuts. Swaps markets now see a more than 50% chance of a reduction in March and are pricing in a cut in May.
Investors will be on the lookout for a slew of key jobs readings over the next few days for clues on the Fed's next steps.
Many investors have remained on the sidelines as gold surged higher, raising the possibility of further rallies as latecomers look to buy. Investors in gold via exchange-traded funds, a key driver of previous bull markets in the metal, have been sellers for much of this year, with holdings down by more than a fifth from a high in 2020.
The gold-backed ETFs — a key pillar in the metal's last rally in the midst of the pandemic — experienced five straight sessions of selling last week even as hedge funds and money managers boosted their bullish bets to a six-month high.
"Market positioning is light versus previous times that prices tested these levels," Wayne Gordon and Giovanni Staunovo, UBS Group AG strategists, said in a note. "To see even higher prices from this high base, investment demand needs to increase in the form of greater ETF purchases."

Silicon-carbide modulator overcomes decades long 'missing block'
A collaboration with Harvard University has led to the development of a new-generation electro-optic modulator that could stamp out its bulky predecessor through the creation of a smaller, stronger, cooler, faster and cost-effective on-chip system.
The new modulator was made possible through the harnessing of a "difficult" compound—silicon carbide. Silicon carbide was first recognized as a photonics wonder material more than three decades ago when it was found to display the "Pockels effect"—a light polarizing technique used in electrical engineering. Despite silicon carbide's exceptional durability in demanding electrical, mechanical and radiation environments, its use in photonics has been limited.
The researchers believe their technique, which was described in Nature Communications, will advance quantum communications and microwave photonics by facilitating photonic integration; the co-integration with traditional electronics and quantum emitters.
Lead researcher from the University of Sydney's School of Electrical and Information Engineering Professor Xiaoke Yi said: "The use of silicon carbide will potentially open up a new chapter of opportunities in photonics for various applications including quantum computing."
Electro-optic modulators encode electrical signals onto an optical carrier. They are essential for the operation of global communication systems and data centers used in a range of applications and industry settings such as artificial intelligence (AI), broadband networks, and high-performance computing.
"Modulators that use the Pockels effect enable low loss, ultrafast and wide-bandwidth data transmission. Overcoming the previous unworkability of silicon carbide may allow for unique photonic-integrated circuits to transmit and process wideband and fast-speed signals—as well as for emerging quantum technologies," said Professor Yi, who is an affiliate of the Sydney Nano Institute.
"We also hope that it will help integrate photonics with electronics—potentially paving the way for a new generation of integrated devices used for signal processing, microwave photonics, chip-to-chip, or intra-chip interconnects."
Lead researcher from Harvard University, Professor Marko Loncar said: "The silicon carbide modulator will likely find applications in quantum communications. For example, they could be used to control temporal and spectral properties of quantum emitters that exist in this material, as well as to route the photons in reconfigurable fashion."
The University of Sydney and Harvard modulator was shown to have no signal degradation, and demonstrated stable operations at high optical intensities, allowing for high optical signal-to-noise ratios for modern communications in datacenters, 6G and satellites, and future quantum internet.

These Australia Day Lamingtons are a fun twist on the traditional Lamingtons and look so darn cute!
I have to admit I have been hesitant to cook lamingtons in the past due to all the mess and hassle…..well my confession is that is actually not bloody hard at all to make!
Yes they can be a little messy, though nothing I couldn't easily fix rinsing my fingers under the tap. Plus it is delicious and super worth the mess.
Preheat oven to 160 degrees, as you will be cooking in a shallow tin.
Mix cake batter according to directions (or make two batches of Sand Cake). Spoon into four separate bowls and add 1/2 cap full of food colouring mix to until well combined. Pour each coloured mix into small square cake tin or 10 x 15 cm slice tin lined with baking paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool on a wire rack while you make icing.
Place icing sugar, cocoa, butter and vanilla in a bowl and mix well. Now add a tablespoon of boiling water at a time and mix until you have a runny consistency.
Place coconut in a medium sized bowl.
Cut each cake into 5 cm squares then dip in chocolate icing (yes this is going to get a little messy but much easier to do with fingers than a knife) gently turning until all covered, let the icing drip off a little. Now place in coconut bowl shake bowl (this helps coat then easier to turn) turn shake bowl again from side to side to cover with coconut then set aside on baking paper. Repeat until all lamingtons are finished.
Recipe Hints and Tips:
- Coloured Lamingtons freeze for up to 3 months. Otherwise keep in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
- You can leave the food colouring out and make a traditional lamington also.

No doubt you give new clients information about what will happen with their case or matter—a general timeline, a list of steps, what to send you, what to expect, when you will update them, how to reach you in an emergency, and other do's and don'ts.
This is good because
- It helps you do a better job of protecting and serving them
- You'll have fewer issues because of misunderstandings
- You can better manage clients' expectations about what will happen, and when
- Your clients will be impressed by your thoroughness and professionalism, and thus more likely to trust you and follow your instructions
- Your clients will feel well taken care of, and thus more likely to stick with you, refer you, and say good things about you
One benefit you might not have considered is that you'll get more referrals doing this because the information you provide shows that referrals are a common and makes the process easy and non-threatening. (See Maximum Referrals for more.)
As I say, I'm sure you do this. But you should do it more.
More means providing this information in more formats:
- Handouts you give them or mail them
- Email autoresponder sequence (break it up into smaller pieces, sent over time)
- FAQs on your website
- A dedicated 'new client' section of your website
- Videos, webinars, audios
More also means
- Sending the information every few weeks or months, to make sure they have it, haven't misplaced it, remind them to read or listen, and to see if they have questions
- Talking to them about parts of the instructions when they are in the office or on the phone
- Sharing success stories about how your clients are benefitting from this information
- Giving them forms and checklists in addition to written instructions
This is important because people
- Lose things
- Don't read everything
- Don't understand everything
- Need to be reminded to read things and do things
- Process information differently (all at once vs. drip, read vs. video)
- Are often distracted by life, especially when they are occupied by a legal issue
- Might not realize how serious you are and need to hear it again and again
- Might have trouble explaining what you want them to know or do to people who need to know and/or assist them; (tell them to share your information and let you explain it)
The more you do this, the better your clients' experience will be with you and your staff. Which is good for them and good for you.
It means extra work, but you'll be glad you did.

Russell Crowe says the initial script of 'Gladiator' was 'so bad'
Story highlights
"Gladiator was a unique experience because the script that they had was so bad -- it was just so bad," Crow said to Jimmy Fallon.
We all consider Ridley Scott's 'Gladiator' as one of the greatest films of all time. But its lead actor, Russell Crowe has revealed that the film did not hold potential when he had first read the script.
On Wednesday, the actor joined host Jimmy Fallon in his virtual 'The Tonight Show' and revealed that the initial script of the 2000 released film was "so bad".
"Gladiator was a unique experience because the script that they had was so bad -- it was just so bad," Crow said to Fallon.
"The producer did not know I was able to already get a copy, but the thing he said was, `I don`t want to send you the document we have because you won`t respond to it. But I want to encourage you to have a meeting with (director) Ridley Scott. And here`s the thing I want you to think about: It`s 180 A.D. You`re a Roman general. And you`re being directed by Ridley Scott," the veteran actor added.
Crowe said he agreed to the meeting and said he was blown away by Scott, who laid out his vision for the film.
"We just clicked on that first meeting. There was definitely a little bit of a risk involved with it at the time," Crowe added.
The actor said that while he had no confidence on the script on the first day of shoot but by the time the film wrapped up, he knew they had made something sepcial.
"The collective energy of that cast was fantastic," he told Fallon.
In hindsight, the action drama won the Best Picture and Best Actor award for Crowe at the Oscars and went on to make USD 460 million at the box office worldwide.`
Gladiator` featured Russell Crowe as Maximus, a General in the Roman army, who is betrayed by the Emperor and left for dead while his family is brutally murdered.He is eventually forced to become a gladiator after being captured by slave traders, who lead him back to Rome to fight as a gladiator while he plots his revenge against the Emperor who betrayed him.
Over the years, Crowe has delivered superlative performances in films like `The Insider, and `A Beautiful Mind`, but the portrayal of Maximus remains one of his finest acts to date.
Crowe will next be seen in a thriller called 'Unhinged' which will be the first film to get a theatrical release in US and UK post covid.

$ 978 million from the World Bank will go to social projects
The organization reiterated its support for Ecuador and invited President Moreno to be a spokesperson for policies in favor of persons with disabilities executed in the country. This year $ 978 million will come to the country for social protection programs and support to vulnerable groups from the World Bank.
The Minister of Economy and Finance, Richard Martinez, informed that the resources are part of the financing agreement between Ecuador and multilateral organizations announced on February 20. Martinez, along with the President of the Republic, Lenin Moreno, and the Minister of Foreign Trade, Pablo Campana, met on March 6 in Carondelet with the Vice President for Latin America of the World Bank, Axel van Trotsenburg.
The agency will lend the country a total of $ 1,744 million for the next three years. The first operation of the BM this year will be approved between March and April for $ 350 million, Axel van Trotsenburg informed. In 2020, they will disburse $ 643 million and $ 141 million in 2021, the Ministry of Finance indicated.
The resources of this multilateral will be allocated to the transformation of technical institutes of the National Secretariat of Science and Technology (Senescyt) and to the educational reform undertaken by the Ministry of Education. They will also serve to improve the transport infrastructure of Ibarra, for the universalization of health services in Guayaquil and improvement of public services in Manta. The agency also finances Line 1 of the Quito Metro.
Another part of the resources will go to the Ministry of Finance for risk mitigation and emergency response. The WB also extended an invitation to President Moreno to head an agenda in favor of disabilities and share Ecuador's experience in the application of public policies for the inclusion of people with disabilities.
The invitation was accepted by the Chief Executive. "The Vice President of the World Bank has invited me to be a spokesperson on accessibility tasks for people with disabilities and showed great interest in knowing in detail the work done by Las Manuelas (…)," Moreno wrote on his Twitter account.
Meeting with representatives of the Montuvio people
The President of the Republic also received leaders of the Montuvio people of Ecuador. The objective of the meeting was to review the advances to the demands raised by this social sector within the national dialogue. The national president of the group, Manuel Gonzaga, said that the main requests of their representatives revolve around "basic problems" such as the price band of agricultural products.
Additionally, they requested that the institutionality be returned to the montuvio people that was withdrawn by the previous administration, as well as the return of facilities that belonged to that population.
Gonzaga also expressed the need to reopen rural schools. He affirmed that the Government has remained open to his requests and that they are in process to be fulfilled.
The Montuvio Town is made up of 1,400 organizations from 12 provinces. The largest presence is in El Oro, Guayas, Los Rios, Esmeraldas and Santa Elena. The Minister of Agriculture, Xavier Lazo, reiterated the support of the Government to solve the problems of agriculture with a view to improving productivity, evacuate surplus products and continue with specialized credit.

Why Bangladesh absolutely needs a 4-day work week
According to section 102, clause 1 of the Labour Act 2006 of Bangladesh, an adult may work up to 48 hours a week. Furthermore, clause 2 states that the employee may work up to 60 hours a week; following section 108, which states any employee working more than 48 hours is entitled to payment for overtime. Now, the question is, are Bangladeshi companies following this rule? No.
Common problems
With time cases of overworked employees surfaced. Companies implement ways to increase employee efficiencies. Incentives like "Employee of the Month" encourages an employee to minor extents. In turn, they only end up overworking. Providing incentives that harm employees only decreases their productivity. From top-level management to the labour class everyone is either overworked or underpaid.
Overworking causes a person mental and physical distress. Which pays a heavy toll on the productivity of that person. Now, during the Covid-19 pandemic many small businesses went down; Small and Medium-sized Enterprises, SME's barely paid their employees. Even the big guns suffered losses. To cover up these losses the big companies and the SMEs that did not go down are now overworking every employee. Those who lost their amply paying jobs are now settling for half their past wage.
Considering all those, the 4-day work week is the only feasible solution. Despite all the positive incentives, they failed and had a negative impact. This is where the 4 day work week will prevail and here's why.
Increased productivity
Overworked employees are unhappy. To extreme extents, they suffer from depression. All of these lead to decreased productivity. But a proper 36-hour work week will allow an employee to recover from the hectic work. They will feel refreshed and will work efficiently. As per the recent global trial run of the 4-day work week, employees felt approximately 45% less distress while working. Their productivity did not go down at all. This also allowed them to balance their work and personal life properly
Coping with post-pandemic stress
The Covid-19 pandemic changed the habits of people. From working at the office to working from home and finally back to the office again was a real hectic journey. Major changes in 2 year period were tough to deal with. Especially with companies trying to make up for their losses employees end up overworking. But the 4-day work week is their solution. This will help them breathe, to sustain themselves. They can cope with their hectic work schedule and retain productivity.
Morale boost
Now, when an employee sees the organisation doing everything for an employee, they feel motivated. This sort of decision is a big morale boost for an employee. When an employee is motivated and happy their workflow increases, and they get more work done in a short period. They are more encouraged to work. This would lead to employees being more innovative and implementing creative ideas into the workplace.
100-80-100 is a win-win
To elaborate, 100-80-100 means employees receiving 100% of their salaries while giving their 80% of the time to the company, and the productivity is still at 100%. Now, this is a win-win for companies and employees. Employees are happy with full payment and less time. On the other hand, the company gets 100% productivity of an employee and, thrives.
A big step into the future
With Bangladesh reaching for the 4th industrial revolution, 4IR, the 4-day work week will be a big game-changer. This allows companies to automate manually done activities. With current technological advancements, many activities like recruitment process can be automated. Time will be shortened and all will be done with a click of a button. That way, employees won't have to run around to get documents signed, the automated process will take care of it.

Growing up, my sisters and I used to play chess all the time. We had a civil war chess board and after briefly having the rules explained, we played constantly. We'd even set up brackets and have single and double elimination tournaments. Of course, none of us were really any good and we certainly didn't know fancy starting moves or anything like that, but we definitely had our fun.
I'd kind of forgotten about the whole game until my sister texted me the other day asking if I could make a chess board sticker for her coffee table. The idea was to have the black squares be a vinyl sticker and the white squares be the exposed surface of the table. We did a little research on chessboard sizes and decided to go with 2-inch squares with a ½-inch border to differentiate the board from the tabletop. (A standard chess board has 2-2.5 inch squares.)
With a solid plan, I excitedly opened Design Space and got to work. The total size of the chess board would be 17 inches by 17 inches. This meant I'd have to break it into 4 pieces as I only have a 12 inch by 12 inch cutting mat.
I began by inserting a 2-inch square into the design space and duplicating it 31 times for a total of 32 black squares (half the board). I manually set the locations of the squares, working in quarters of the board, so they were perfectly spaced. This ensured the squares were exactly lined-up (not just eyeballed) and the corners would meet exactly as they should.
With the squares in place, I used two squares, one 8-inch and one 8.5 inch and the slice tool to obtain the border. Then, I duplicated the border and rotated it so it matched up appropriately. To make sure the quarters of the board cut as 4 pieces, I welded each quarter to itself. Then, it was time to cut.
The chessboard was my first attempt at cutting vinyl using the Cricut and honestly, it could not have been easier. I trimmed each piece of vinyl before adhering it to the cutting mat to minimize waste. Then, I let the Cricut do its thing. Each piece of the board cut perfectly and was exceptionally easy to weed. I applied a piece of transfer tape to each of the 4 quarters and was thrilled with the result. (Side note: the LightGrip mat that came with my Cricut is incredibly dirty and gross and I haven't wanted to venture down the cleaning it road, so I bought these off-brand replacements and I love them. I don't think I'll go back to the Cricut brand.)
Since I made the board for my sister, she was the one that applied it. She claims her alignment game is strong and I definitely agree. She managed to line up the quarters of the board perfectly.

For the EURUSD currency pair, we see the construction of a large downtrend that moves inside the green channel.
On the current chart, we see the market movement from December to today. Since the beginning of December, the price has been gradually increasing from the lower green area to the upper green wall. The bulls reached the upper green line in the second half of January, but could not break through it. Thus, the market pushed off from this line and began to move in a downward direction within the yellow descending channel.
Not so long ago, the price pushed off from the lower support line of the yellow channel and began to grow sharply. If the bulls can break through the upper yellow line near the resistance level of 1.131, then market participants will be able to observe the continuation of the appreciation to the upper green line and the resistance level of 1.144.
Alternatively, the downward movement of the market inside the yellow channel is expected to continue to the lower green line and the support level of 1.104. At the specified price level, the lower walls of the two channels have an intersection point.
With a bullish market movement, it is possible to consider opening deals for purchases. When confirming a bearish movement, it is possible to consider opening short positions.

The global smartphone industry is currently at a crossroad, with multiple forces shaping its trajectory in 2023. Preliminary data from Counterpoint projects a 6% decline in shipments for the year, reaching a decade-low of 1.15 billion units.
In Asia, the once-promising economic turnaround for China has been hindered by various issues, leading to broader declines across emerging markets. Similarly, North America struggles with consumer reluctance to upgrade devices, resulting in record-high replacement rates and double-digit full-year declines. One bright spot, potentially, is the launch of the iPhone 15 as a pivotal moment for carriers to seize high-value customers and Apple's opportunity to capitalize on the anticipation of its loyal user base. In fact, 2023 could mark a pivotal year for Apple in other ways, too, as it could become the world's top smartphone vendor in terms of annual shipments for the first time ever. Apple is well-positioned in China's premium segment and is expanding in India, pretty much addressing half of the world's population directly. It has always been the premium brand in North America, but not necessarily in other parts of the world. Now, it could have it all.
Shifting gears to the foldable smartphone sector, DSCC's Q2'23 statistics show a 16% quarter-over-quarter increase and an impressive 42% year-over-year rise in foldable phone shipments. Samsung leads the foldable charge with a narrow 32% market share, followed by Huawei with a 30% market share. Surprisingly, clamshell designs have captivated consumers, commanding 53% of the total unit share.
Samsung's dominance is evident, holding a 63% share of foldable smartphone panel shipments. However, this is a slight decline from its previous high, which may also be a hint of the increasing competition in the market. Q3'23 promises a surge in foldable smartphone shipments, with Samsung projected to maintain its lead, driven by the launches of Z Flip5 and Z Fold5. While the competitive landscape includes Google, Honor, Motorola, and Xiaomi making gains, Samsung's position is very strong.
Unfortunately, foldables are about 1–2% of the total smartphone market. Even at the existing rate of growth, they only end up being 10% of the market in a few years. Apple can afford to keep away from foldables for a long, long time because the volumes are just not there for the company to find them meaningful. On the other hand, as a foldables fan, I really hope the form factor takes off in a bigger way. It only takes one product, at the right price, to change that dynamic. That's what the iPhone did, and that's what foldables need, too, that one product that changes the public's demand for devices. Otherwise, Samsung gets to be a big fish in a small pond, and Apple gets to be an even more gigantic monolithic unmovable force for a long, long time.

We experience a daily reality such that everything has become so rival drove that it has become so difficult to stand out in a group or a gathering. Indeed, even the people who are immensely skilled track down it is extremely tough these days to make their voices conspicuous in the confusion of this world.
As the world has become so globalized that interfacing with individuals and organizations isn't tough anymore. The Web has worked everything out such that a lot more straightforward and at the same, extremely complex too to write my essay. Indeed, that is a different discussion. Here I am zeroing in on the topic of startups and how you can utilize public statements to ensure your voice is heard by many and thoughts are put under the limelight. This is definitely not a simple occupation yet at the same time it's doable with some effort and commitment.
Many understudies are presently putting their cash and effort into making their recently started organizations. At the same time, others are attempting to assemble assets and clean their concept of a startup. You should be generally excellent with words to guarantee that anything you are attempting to impart is heard and understood by others. Essay writing service comes in handy as of now. They are experts and know what to say and when.
On the off chance that you are not someone who has done a public statement before and you are becoming anxious about what to do and how to start then there is an exit plan. You can take help from your mentors, seniors who are effectively maintaining their organizations now, or even an essay writer to get to know what to say as they can write a discourse or a discussion draft for you. It can help you a ton with any conceivable issue.
Here I will give some great tips that you would require to make an official statement a triumph or even get it going. So how about we start, amigos?
1. Before you start and go before the media or others, simply ponder your startup's thoughts all alone. Conclude why you want to do that.
2. Then contemplate why you are doing a public statement. How put would you say you are in it? Assuming you will think about it before introducing it before a group of people or answering the press' inquiries, you will definitely know the answer and won't stall out.
3. Start the official statement with your presentation. Tell individuals who you truly are and what your aims about this entire thing are.
4. The principal sentence is overwhelmingly significant so ensure it sounds infectious. Not out of control or loaded with slang but rather something that grabs the eye of the audience members.
5. Then show some relevance of your startup's thought with today's reality. Start making sense of why the world would require this and what improvement your business or company and so forth would make.
6. Recount a story. Ideally your own story about how you got this thought. Or on the other hand, give a certifiable model that connects with it.
7. Then, at that point, show with the help of some friendly evidence. This will draw in the audience members considerably more.

A year with out Mummers
I grew up in the Philadelphia area, where our New Year's Day tradition was watching the Mummers parade*. Every year, my family and I watched this spectacle either in person or on TV. When I got married on January 1, 2001 (before smartphones), I made sure that the limo that would take us from the ceremony to the reception had a TV tuned to the parade. This was as important to me as throwing the bouquet or cutting the wedding cake. And even though we moved away from Philadelphia 20 years ago, we have watched the parade every year no matter where we were on New Year's Day. Until this year.
Like so many other events, the Mummers parade was cancelled this year because there is just no way to do it socially distanced. Unlike the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade, the crowds of onlookers and revelers are an integral part of the fun. They dance down Broad Street and pack the sidewalks, shoulder to shoulder, trying to catch a glimpse of the parade antics. People shout, sing, and often drink alcohol and lead cheers for the Philadelphia Eagles. It would have undoubtedly been a super spreader event, so the mayor of Philadelphia — a former Mummer himself — cancelled it.
Predictably, there were protests, and a few people marched in the streets anyway, wearing the costumes they had planned to wear in the parade. As disappointed as I was to not have the parade to watch, those who were planning to march in the parade were even more upset. Many Philadelphians have marched in the parade as long as they can remember, as did their parents and grandparents.
Traditions are hard to give up, especially those that have brought so much joy, but traditions never last forever. Things change, families make new traditions, and sometimes the new traditions are even better than the old ones. Instead of watching the parade, we ended up watching a new musical, "Ratatouille", via an online streaming service and having a Champagne toast. These may become our new traditions, in fact, I bet that we have missed out on a lot of cool New Year's day events over the years.
I decided that one of my resolutions this year is to be more flexible, both physically and mentally. What are your resolutions this year? Is there something great that you may have been missing out on because you "have always done things a certain way"?
* The Mummer's parade is a Philadelphia tradition dating back to the 1700s, and there is no good way to describe it (and the highlights clips on YouTube do not do it justice) other than to say that it's an annual celebration in the streets of Philadelphia.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed "Justinflation" during Question Period on Wednesday, after weeks of the term coming up during Parliament.
The moment came after Trudeau accused MP Calgary-Nose Hill MP Michelle Rempel Garner of misrepresenting the inflation crisis.
"Misrepresenting the inflation crisis?.. Tell that to someone in Kelowna today that's paying 1.67/L for gas... The prime minister has misrepresented to Canadians his ability to manage basic economic crisis, and what he could do today to reassure Canadians is tell them that he understands, that he's gonna quell this crazy talk about the bank of Canada, wading into policy that the has responsibility for, and keeping inflation at 2 percent."
Trudeau responded: "For the past weeks, what have we seen from the Conservatives? Telling Canadians that the problems they're facing with increased affordability, increased prices on everything, difficulty buying gas... They've shrugged and said it's 'Justinflation'. Well, it's not 'Justinflation,' while they play word games, we have to focus on delivering on housing, delivering on childcare... and the support Canadians need, while they play cheap political games."
Carleton MP and Shadow Finance Minister Pierre Poilievre would later bring up the prime minister's past comments of "not thinking about monetary policy," something Poilievre called "Justincredible."
"Even after house prices increased by a third, he didn't think monetary policy... Because he only thinks about himself. Won't he admit that what it took for him to start thinking about inflation is when we put his name in the word?"
Poilievre would continue to pressure Trudeau on Canada's inflation crisis, saying that Trudeau was someone who lived on his assets rather than his income.
"... Inflation hits folks who live off income the hardest, because their paycheque is worth less, while helping those people, like him, who live off ancestral assets. Their assets appreciate and inflate in value, so maybe the reason he doesn't think about inflation is because he benefits from it. For example, can the prime minister tell us how much his mansion in the Laurentian has inflated in price since he took office?"
Trudeau would not reveal the value of his mansion.

glee Posted January 27, 2001 Share Posted January 27, 2001 I have been having problems w/ the door disappearing on the plan sheets. The door casing and jambs are there but the door and the swing are missing. Whats going on ??? Quote Link to comment
dlstudios Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 Check the visibility of the class "Sills." Door jambs and casings go into the class "Doors-Main" but the swing and door itself go into "Sills" I believe. Quote Link to comment
dlstudios Posted January 28, 2001 Share Posted January 28, 2001 Also, have you had problems with doors and windows resizing themselves for a different wall thickness. If you create and 4 1/2" wall (1/2 drywall on either side of a 2x4 stud), place a door or window in the wall, convert the door or window to a symbol leaving the original instance in place and later edit the symbol (for instance change the casing width) the door will resize itself for a 4" wall, not the 4 1/2" wall in which it was orginally inserted. Nemetschek is aware of the problem and says it will fix it in the next release. Quote Link to comment

Grain futures were lower overnight with soybeans leading the decline on a 7 cent loss, giving up much of yesterday's 10-cent advance. In outside markets, crude oil tried to stabilize after yesterday's $2 a barrel slide while US equity futures and the dollar were eaking out small gains to start the day.
USDA announced a 130,000 MT sale of corn to Taiwan, and a 241,600 MT sale of corn to Unknown of which 91,300 MT is for 2016/2017 delivery and 150,300 for 2017/2018.
This morning Brazil's forecasting agency Conab pegged the bean crop to a record large 103.8 MB, up from their previous forecast of 102.45. They also boosted their corn forecast to 84.5 MB from their last estimate of 83.8 MB.
Crush margins in China have started to erode sharply and are now at their lowest point since September. Soybean crushers in China have slowed bean buying as profits are cut and stockpiles have surged. With the Chinese New Year at the end of this month, there is growing beliefs that China will curb its buying and turn to South America after the week-long Lunar New Year.
USDA will release their own forecasts on Thursday for US & global grains. Traders look for a modest drop in US corn and bean carry-outs with corn expected to fall to 2,385 MB from last month's forecast of 2,403, and soybeans are expected to fall to 468 MB from 480 in December. The Quarterly Stocks report will shed some light on corn for feed demand in the 1st quarter of the marketing year. USDA has a 9% increase in feed use year on year which seems like a stretch. Cattle on Feed numbers for Q1 were essentially unchanged vs last year, while hogs and broiler numbers were up roughly 3% for the quarter vs last year.
US Southern Plains are expected to see some beneficial rains on the horizon. Argentina continues to be aggressive players in the wheat markets as their export prices have stayed flat in response to the CBT rally in recent weeks. In the past week export prices for corn have risen in foreign countries relative to the US, while SA bean prices have gotten cheaper relative to the US.
US Export Prices Relative to Foreign Competitors (in USD/MT)
This Week Last Week
Corn-ARG $23.40 $22.48
Corn-BRZ $16.90 $15.34
Corn-EUR $5.05 $3.81
Beans-ARG -$14.10 -$8.16
Beans-BRZ $2.70 $3.22

Neil Shah, Managing Director at Edison Group, feedback:
"Entain's H1 trading update reveals a stable set of outcomes, with complete Group web gaming income up 11% to roughly $350m and a rise of 28% in on-line efficiency. Sports betting particularly noticed notable development of 55% as pandemic restrictions lifted {and professional} sports activities exercise returned to our screens. The Group's H1 efficiency was largely pushed by elevated momentum in Q2, which noticed a complete NGR rise of 42% due to sturdy efficiency in international markets excluding Germany, which the corporate famous continues to be feeling the influence of regulatory adjustments.
Despite income development of 47percentcc in on-line gaming, the group recognised that this mirrored just one% improve on a difficult comparative yr previous to 2019. Elsewhere, a 359% improve in Q2 retail NGR was not sufficient to offset general losses within the sector, with retail NGR down 42% within the half.
Nevertheless, the corporate is in good stead to keep up momentum, and the announcement that the group can be doubling its funding into in-house video games studios alerts a dedication to strategic enlargement. Investors will discover confidence within the group's expectations that FY21 EBITDA can be forward of present consensus within the vary of £850m – £900m."

"… Nevertheless (and that is a good resurrection word), the strong love of God always has the final word. Nothing can hold it back from working out its purposes. Not only does the Holy One experience our suffering as though it were his own, he is also relentlessly seeking to bring light and life where there seems to be only darkness and death. When this happens for us, even in a small way, we experience a "little Easter."… Just about any time we are surprised with new possibilities for life and healing in the midst of brokenness and decay, there is a "little Easter" that gives us a glimpse of the resurrection power of God's love made manifest in the crucified and risen Jesus."
This year during Holy Week, we wanted to share these words from South African pastor Trevor Hudson. A few Rooted writers will share some "little Easters" of their own. We hope these "glimpses of the resurrection power of God's love" will enlighten the eyes of your faith as you look toward the Cross and to the empty tomb.
Christ is Risen! He is Risen Indeed.
When the sixth student dropped out, I was ready to call it. No way a weekend retreat would be worth it with just three students. Whether it was a guilty conscience, encouragement from my boss, or the security deposit that kept me from canceling the whole weekend, I don't remember. Nonetheless, I headed to the Virginia mountains for the weekend with three girls, two other chaperones, a trunk full of junk food and a grumpy attitude.
At one point in the planning process, I was actually looking forward to this retreat. It was my first year in ministry, so the thought of getting to take high school girls away for some good old-fashioned Christian fellowship sounded fun to me. Plus, it was fall in Virginia and we had a great house booked in the Shenandoah Mountains. How could the weekend be anything less than magical?
Momentum for the retreat was slow-going at first, but I finally got a solid group of girls to commit. I felt great not only about the number of girls I recruited, but also about the fact that all the "cool" girls in youth group had signed up. Go me! I had exactly the quantity and quality of students I had envisioned for the weekend. This was going to be awesome.
You know where this is going… the week leading up to the retreat, one girl got a better invite elsewhere. One got cold feet. The other decided that she did not in fact want to miss her Saturday basketball game. By Thursday, our group had shrunk to half of its original size. The remaining three were the girls who had nothing better to do with their weekends and/or their moms made them go. To be honest, I didn't blame them for needing to be coerced.
I was totally crushed. I was angry. I was hurt by the girls who chose basketball games and slumber parties over this retreat. I felt like a total failure. I decided that my job was just to "get through" the weekend. As far as I was concerned, this retreat was as good as dead.
Of course, God knew better. Where I had deemed this weekend D.O.A, God saw an opportunity for resurrection, as he so often does.
I wish I had a specific story of a dramatic conversation on the top of a mountain, or of a student finally opening up to me over coffee on the porch, but to tell the truth, the whole weekend was just a blur of fun. Our rag-tag band of three students, two chaperones, and myself had the best time together, despite my hard-headed assumption that there was no way that could happen.
We had dance parties while making breakfast at 10:30am. We sat around for longer than planned and talked about stories in the Bible. We went on a "hike" in 30-degree weather. We laughed. We made inside jokes that lasted well beyond the weekend. We enjoyed the slower pace of a weekend free from phones and basketball games. We talked about boys. We prayed together.
What I thought was surely dead, God resurrected. He humbled me to see that he works best with misfits and dead-end streets. He brought death to my idea of a "successful" retreat and revealed that life and joy are found when I surrender my agenda to his. He turned a weekend I was dreading into a weekend I was sad to see end.

The National Lottery Community Fund has awarded £19.5m in grants to local projects and community organisations fighting climate change and reducing environmental damage across the UK.
Distributed over the past four months, National Lottery funding has been allocated to community projects focused on environmental sustainability in key areas such as energy reduction, food production, biofriendly transport, waste management and recycling, as well as securing communities' natural environment.
The 23 projects, from Cumbria to Cornwall and Glasgow to Gwynedd, are the first to receive money from the lottery-funded 'Climate Action Fund' – the 10-year, £100m lottery fund established to directly support community-led organisations fighting the climate emergency.
Nine grant holders were announced on 1 December, while the other 14 were revealed in August this year. They will work together to share learning and become catalysts for broader and transformative change.
Nick Gardner, Head of Climate Action at The National Lottery Community Fund, said: "From 25 years of funding environmental projects, we know that local community action can deliver positive environmental impacts alongside additional benefits for people to reap.
"This year we have been reminded that communities are best placed to understand their places and spaces, and so often play a vital role in responding in a crisis.
"Thanks to National Lottery players, communities across the UK will be able to demonstrate what is possible when people take the lead in tackling climate change. This funding will bring people together so they can learn from each other and have an impact within and beyond their communities."
The projects include large scale schemes delivered by local partnerships, as well as smaller development grants, which will see lottery funding used for emerging ideas to engage different communities and to test new approaches.
The National Lottery Community Fund will use learning from this funding to help shape what happens next with the Climate Action Fund and will explore and reflect on ways people and communities take climate action throughout the programme.
The Climate Action Fund is part of The National Lottery Community Fund's 'Environment Strategy', which has seen significant lottery investment through community-led projects that are focused on activities that not only improve the environment, but use it to enhance the lives of people and communities.
Since April 2013, the Fund has awarded more than £340m to environmental projects, through almost 4,800 grants.
National Lottery players have raised £41bn for more than 565,000 good causes across the UK since 1994, or £30m every week. The lottery plays a critical role in supporting people, projects and communities during these challenging times.

Título: | Effect of information on consumers' response to different food categories enriched with brewer's spent grain |

Resumen: | Brewer's spent grain (BSG) has been commonly considered as only a waste product, but recent research on its composition has shown that it can be a functional ingredient. The aim of this study was to analyze consumers' attitude toward different BSG-added food products under informed conditions. BSG-enriched bread, pasta, and chocolate milk were studied exploring two major aspects. First, the eye-tracking technology was used to reveal the effect of different food labels on consumers' attention and purchase intention. Information on sustainability and on BSG varied among the labels under analysis. The best consumers' response occurred when the label displayed: the sustainability logo, fiber source claim, and BSG description. The phrase "Malted Barley" as an appellation of BSG was also analyzed, although it did not produce a significant effect on consumers. Second, consumers' responses to fiber-enriched products and regular products, under informed conditions, were assayed through sensory evaluations. For bread and chocolate milk samples, no significant difference was found in acceptability between the regular and fiber-enriched versions. For pasta, on the other hand, consumers expressed a significant preference in terms of overall liking toward the fiber-enriched version. BSG-enriched products were accepted as much as the regular ones when information was provided, confirming the importance of the fiber source claim and sustainability claims. |
