tv Your World With Neil Cavuto FOX News October 19, 2021 1:00pm-2:00pm PDT
1:00 pm
for covid yesterday. that was not a good report. she was not with him. that is good news. we want to see who the interactions are. thanks for being with us this tuesday, october 19. see you back here tomorrow on wednesday. we look forward to that. taking that time with you tomorrow afternoon. "your world" starts right now. have a good one, everybody. >> we're talking about everything. let's do what we can agree on now. >> senator joe manchin weighing in as the talks on the democrats $3.5 trillion social plan continues. president biden meeting with progressives at the white house. later on this hour, he will meade with moderates. welcome, everyone. i'm charles payne in for neil cavuto. this is "your world." we have team coverage with peter doocy at the white house and
1:01 pm
chad pergram on how moderates and progressives are responding on capitol hill. peter? >> president biden is changing his approach before our eyes. a few weeks ago when he made the high profile trip to capitol hill to meet with all democratic lawmakers at once, nothing hatched. now he's trying to divide and conquer democrats. first meeting with progressives and then moderates. >> well, these are serious policy discussions. often on nitty gritty details. they're not duels in factions of the party. there's broad agreement about the vast majority of issues here. the president is basing this approach on five decades on washington, when is a good guide on how to get things done. >> joe manchin got his own meeting today. he separately tries to iron things out with the president and democratic socialist bernie sanders. he claims that nobody has asked him, manchin, to support a new
1:02 pm
tax on carbon as a way to pay for the president's plan. something the white house claimed today actually is on the table. so that's got republicans watching from the sidelines very skeptical of any big progress. >> the dems are in complete disarray. this donkey on donkey fighting here is something to watch. i mean, remember, bernie is a self-identified socialist democrat. he's a socialist. so we're talking about a fundamental battle here for the future hoff the country. >> the president plans to go to pennsylvania to talk about these spending plans on camera tomorrow. turns out that the talks about what is actually going to be in them or how much they're going to spend he wants to do privately, charles. >> thanks, peter. now the chad pergram on capitol hill. chad, is all of this strong arming? still more of stick than carrot. i'm not sure. is it doing any good to get both
1:03 pm
sides closer to a deal? >> democratic leaders insist that they want to finish the spending bill by the 31st of october. senate democrats held a lengthy caucus meeting today. there's still no agreement. >> i told our caucuses everyone is going to be disappointed in certain things but everyone will be glad about certain things. overall, getting something done of this magnitude for the american people is a huge, huge, huge accomplishment. >> senators bernie sanders and joe manchin met monday. sanders continues to say they're making good progress. i reminded sanders that that's what we've heard for weeks. sanders replied "the american people are tired of these discussions never ending." sanders is not alone. >> i think the goal has to be getting the folks in a room and getting a decision on a topline number. that's why we need a topline number. that bill would move quickly.
1:04 pm
>> one senior democrat today told me an agreement was possible by a vote would probably have to wait until next month. there's concern that energy to do the bill will evaporate in the governor's lose the race in virginia. if they're too long, that could avoid with a government shut down and dealing with the debt ceiling december 3. charles? >> neil: that's one juggling act. so even if progressives come down and moderates come up, we're still talking $2 trillion in spending and tax hikes. will that mean more inflation? let's ask patrice with independent women's forum and laura fink. patrice, more inflation if we get more money in the system? >> absolutely, charles. i think what is happening here is democrats are committed to a once in a generation opportunity to shift our country further to the left and that will happen through spending and also through the control and the
1:05 pm
policies that they're enacting. we're talking ant universal pre-k. that would take control over parents decisions over their 3 and 4-year-olds out of their hand to washington. imagine our 3 and 4-year-olds being given crt, another noxious idea that is unfortunately endemic. this is about spending and policy and shifting our country further to the left. >> wages have gone up nicely but once you factor in inflation, 0.8%. down 0.9%. so is it worth it? in other words, yeah, looks fantastic, sounds fantastic but if i go in the store with that raise and walking out with fewer bags, was it worth it? >> well, it's not just about the wages, charles. i agree with you. they should go up. we have to account for that. one of the ways this legislation deals with that is the child tax credit. broadly popular among americans, helping out with two, 4, $6,000
1:06 pm
for the average working family. that is money that will go into the pockets to help with the expenses to save for a house, to invest in child college accounts. not to mentioned the child care, which i don't hear -- i work with child care workers here in california and i don't hear what patrice is talking about. i hear they're glad they're going to see families be able to afford care for their children. these are middle income families that will receive help for those kids under 5, for the kids up to 13 years old. that is huge. it's going to be transformative for women, for working families and going to help middle america out. when you poll it, americans agree. >> what is interests, kenny, this polled bet area few months ago. cnn had a poll where 25% of folks said it would be beneficial. 30% thought it would harm their family. friday we had a consumer sentiment where 19% of the people surveyed trust this government spending plan on the drawing boards. people are getting anxious about
1:07 pm
this and starting to understand that nothing is necessarily free. >> i think that is exactly right. but you know, when you say it's paid for, how is it paid for? it's a circular argument. >> taxing the wealthy. >> it's not paid for. >> top 1.8%. >> okay. really? what happened with the people making $400,000 a year? it went from a family to individual couples. so don't say the top 1.8%. it's not correct. >> that's what it is. are you -- >> let me -- hold on a second. let me ask kenny from the inflation argument here. that is what people are concerned about. it's the number 1 topic on man street and wall street. you crunch numbers. we watched procter & gamble stock lose billions in value today because they can't keep up with inflation but they said they're going to keep raising prices. >> they're going to keep raises prices. we heard it from
1:08 pm
procter & gamble and pepsi. two weeks ago they announced, they said across the board on the portfolio, they're going to raise prices because they can't keep up. the inflation issue is a real issue. the fact that nobody wants to talk about it, everybody says it's transitory, it's not transitory. it's sticky. sticky in the places that will hurt middle america and low income america the worst. jeff bezos doesn't care if his steak goes from $10 to $15. >> give him a tax credit? >> charles, who else will feel it? i'm going to say it's at the dollar stores. i wrote about it in "the washington post" this week. the dollar tree raising price as above a dollar because inflation is an example of why federal spending is filling houses with so much money and driving demand and disrupting the supply chain. >> the dollar stores have gone to $1.50. no doubt about that. another issue to squeeze in.
1:09 pm
this irs snooping. people are infuriated. now we hear democrats are considering raising the threshold for this irs bank reporting, which right now $600. they're going to go way up to $10,000. i want you to take a listen to what two gop senators think about that. >> you're literally talking about an irs drag net across the bank accounts of every single american. even if it's $10,000, it's still going to capture thousands, millions of americans with this. >> republicans aren't perfect. but this stuff is crazy. president xi would be proud. >> laura, you mentioned the top 1.8%. $10,000. that goes way -- that is a huge net. even if it's $10,000, 600 was outrageous. what is this all about?
1:10 pm
>> you know, charles, here's what i wonder. we stopped talking about tax credits and started talking about inflation. now a drag net to inspire fear in americans. they're not coming after you. they're trying to catch people that are moving money around -- >> $10,000? $600? $600? >> laura -- >> if i may finish. i'm going to finish. $10,000. yes. how often are you moving $10,000 back and forth? not very often. aim small business owner. i don't move that money. if i did, i wouldn't mind. i know where it's going. people need to pay their fair share. the tax cheats need to get caught. the bottom line is, we're tired of tax cheats in america. that's true of left, right and center. >> here's the thing. they're talking about an army. 80 billion army of irs agents. there's only so many wealthy folks you can go after.
1:11 pm
$10,000 is not what they pulled the lever for when they thought they were going after jeff bezos. and they're afraid and intimidated. it does feel like overreach. >> it's extremely innovative. the idea that the government is going to be surveilling the money that you have coming in, i think it's going to hit a lot of people not at the top of the income ladder. it's going down the ladder. laura, while i understand and agree with you, we don't want tax cheats. this is beyond that. this is an irs that could be weaponized as we've seen in the past to go after people that -- >> where is the -- >> -- that they disagree with. so having access to people's money coming in, that is a great way of identifying your political foe and goes after them using the irs as your tool. >> we've gone over. but i want to give kenny the last word. >> go kenny. >> on this whole thing? i think it is overreach.
1:12 pm
i will say right now if i deposit $10,000 cash in my account, somebody has to be notified. if they look at every $10,000 transaction that people have, it will sweep across middle america as well. i agree. it's overreach, unnecessary and i agree we need to stop the tax cheats. i get it. but there's other ways to catch people that are not paying taxes. >> the way things have gone now, the $10,000 will be the average trip to the gas station. i had to get that in there. >> cute, charles. >> leave it there. speaking of gas prices going up, now one major company is hiking prices for everything that helps you clean up. we have the details. give me a hint already. what if i told you people have already started their christmas shopping? we'll tell you how many next.
1:14 pm
this isn't just freight. these aren't just shipments. they're promises. big promises. small promises. cuddly shaped promises. each with a time and a place they've been promised to be. and the people of old dominion never turn away a promise. or over promise. or make an empty promise. we keep them. a promise is everything to old dominion, because it means everything to you.
1:16 pm
ever wonder how san francisco became the greenest big city in america? just ask the employee owners of recology. we built the recycling system from the ground up, helping san francisco become the first city in the country to have a universal recycling and composting program for residents and businesses. but it all starts with you. let's keep making a differene together.
1:17 pm
>> charles: prices at the pump keep rising. so is the pressure on the biden administration to do something about it. to hillary vaughn with the very latest. hillary? >> charles, people are feeling the pain at the pump. president biden knows it. he's not changing his positions that would make u.s. energy supply of oil and gas almost extinct. >> certainly well aware of the impact on any increase in gasoline prices or any costs on the american people. we're going to use -- continue to use every lever at our disposal. we're continuing to press through member countries, member countries of opec even as we're not a member to address the supply issue. work to address it here as well. >> every lever at their disposal does not include doing a u turn on their push to green energy and their punishment of oil and gas producers in the u.s., even
1:18 pm
though gas prices are hitting a seven-year high. the white house says that they are working to move gas around the u.s. more efficiently since some parts of the country are seeing more shortages than others. they promise to crack down on price gouging happening at the pump. republicans say gas is going up because of bad energy policy. the biden administration giving up on u.s. energy independence. >> i think we're going to see another spoiled thanksgiving and christmas thanks to the inflation that the biden administration is dumping on the american people. energy prices through the roof. our dependence on nations like russia and iran surging. >> heading into the holidays heating up your home could get more expensive, too. the u.s. department of energy says nearly half of households that rely on natural gas for heat will pay about 30% more to heat their homes. charles? >> charles: hillary vaughn, thanks very much. right now we're going to talk
1:19 pm
about the pain at the pump. it's not just there. prices are getting pumped up. procter & gamble, this morning they had to say they're raising prices on everyday items. john beasley is concern that americans could be dealing this nor awhile. john, forget about the transitory debate. seems like we're dealing with this every day on more and more items. >> yeah, inflation is here for a while, charles. we do a survey of economists. we surveyed 67 economists. they figure that you'll see this inflation continue through to the end of the year at a minimum. >> charles: john, i'm going to ask you to pause. the head of the house coalition, congress woman jayapal. >> went through some of the things that he knows are important to us on what he's fighting for in the bill. >> did you say that they were on
1:20 pm
board with the 1.9 number? >> that's what he's working to get everybody to. that is the number he's still putting out there. that is the number that he's continuing to work with. >> are you having conversations about cutting programs on time? >> the president has agreed with our strategy that the majority of our caucus put out some time ago, that is that we would like to see more of our priorities. remember, the progressive caucus did not give a list of 100 things. we gave a list of five major priority areas. so he's with us that we need to invest in as many of those transformational areas as possible even if it means for some of them a shorter amount of time. >> how would you describe the president's role right now? is he a closer? >> when it comes to investments in climate change, what is a resolution or middle ground when it comes to progressives and senator manchin? >> i think this is one of the
1:21 pm
most challenging places for our caucus. we're still waiting to see exactly what the agreement is around house we ensure that we get carbon emissions reductions. i think that there are lots of possibilities on the table. some of which might be in the bill, some of which may not be. so we just need to continue to look at the final agreement around that because i don't think there's is a final agreement there. but we're hopeful that we'll get to a significant investment in climate. >> is the president the closer and did he talk to you about any deadlines that he wants if it's not october 31, which of course -- >> the president is the inspirer. he's the closer. he's the convincer. the mediator in chief. he really is doing a phenomenal job. >> did he talk about deadlines?
1:22 pm
>> we're trying to get to a real close as quickly as possible. >> charles: through yo have it. the head of the progressive caucus talking about president biden and sounds like they're getting closer to that 1. 9, 2.2 trillion. at that level, it's an enormous amount of money but still enormous things. we heard about the investing in transformational areas in our country. i want to bring back john bussey. we were talking about inflation. certainly these kind of bills, these sort of trillion dollar bills have played a role. we don't know what the time bill will look like. sounds like it's around $2 trillion. one part will be spending another part taxes. then there's another part. the transformational part. the idea of changing america. at the journal, you cover all the areas. what do you think it's going to look like when it's finally done? >> you're probably going to see some of the programs for
1:23 pm
preschool make it through, maybe medicare will get enhanced. probably the clean energy efforts curtailed. seems that is the direction that congress is going in now. your link of programs like this to inflation, you know, have to be taken into consideration when there's a lot of government spending that puts more demand in the market. that could be inflationary. this program will be over many years. it's not all of a sudden a burst into the economy. the inflation rate is probably not going to go away. is it transitory or not? depends on what your definition of transitory is. the 67 economists that we surveyed said hey this is likely to go into next year and you may not see the shortages reduced until the second half of next year. so spending programs like the ones that you've seen will enhance demand, perhaps enhance inflation a bit. at the same time, it can grow the economy.
1:24 pm
you get preschool for kids. as a result of that, you get more people in to the economy, parents that can go back to work as a result of having their kids have a place to go to school. >> charles: thanks, john. always appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> charles: a new report that the biden administration is secretly flying migrant children away from the border during the night. we're going to bring you that story and bring it to life for you. first, north korea running a new missile test and raising new worries. that's next.
1:26 pm
>> tech: when you get a chip in your windshield... trust safelite. this couple was headed to the farmers market... when they got a chip. they drove to safelite for a same-day repair. and with their insurance, it was no cost to them. >> woman: really? >> tech: that's service the way you need it. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪ at heinz, every ketchup starts with our same tomatoes. but not every tomato ends in the same kind of heinz ketchup. because a bit of magic unfolds when there's a ketchup for everyone. my plaque psoriasis... ...the itching ...the burning. the stinging. my skin was no longer mine. my psoriatic arthritis, made my joints stiff, swollen... painful. emerge tremfyant™.

1:28 pm
or reunite there, start here. walgreens makes it easy to stay protected wherever you go. schedule your free flu shot and covid-19 vaccine today. retirement income is complicated. as your broker, i've solved it. wherever you go. that's great, carl. but we need something better. that's easily adjustable has no penalties or advisory fee. and we can monitor to see that we're on track. like schwab intelligent income. schwab! introducing schwab intelligent income. a simple, modern way to pay yourself from your portfolio. oh, that's cool... i mean, we don't have that. schwab. a modern approach to wealth management. >> charles: oh, no. north korea firing a missile off at sea likely launching from a
1:29 pm
submarine. greg palkot is live with the latest. hi, greg. >> yeah, this is what north korea experts have been telling me they've been worried about for a very long time. officials say that pyongyang appears to have test fired a submarine launched ballistic missile just off of the eastern coast this morning. went about 40 miles, landed in the sea of japan. this is the first launch in two years. they're not sure if it was fired from a sub. could have been fired from a submerged flat form. experts thing it's a missile that kim jong-un admired last week in a weapons show. the launch is called destabilizing. who insiders are worried about, more sophisticated missiles could be armed and be more sophisticated.
1:30 pm
north korea is very much in the war-making business. not too much in the diplomacy business. talks between the u.s. and north korea over nukes and missiles have been stalled about two years. a u.s. representative in the biden administration are in the region and talking to counter parts in south korea and japan, but not north korea. not yet. back to you. >> thanks. this follows reports of china testing a hypersonic missile. so is the biden administration being tested? former secretary of defense for asian and pacific affairs, peter brooks joins me now to discuss. biden administration certainly feels like they've been pushed and tested tremendously by china. first provocations in taiwan and this missile and north korea. we know there's this sort of hey, what about us kind of thing. how concerned are you that all of these things are happening at
1:31 pm
the same time, peter? >> it's not good news. you lay this on, things like afghanistan, the problems there, concerns about the war on terror, the lack of tax on iran with their nuclear program. the foreign policy of the biden administration is not making great gains. i'm underwhelmed at this point. people are testing the administration. they're looking for signs of weakness. they want to advance their interests. they want to see how the biden administration will respond to chinese provocations in the south china see, chinese provocations around taiwan, what russia does in the black sea. at this point, there's questions about the efficacy and strength of the biden foreign policy program. >> charles: peter, how much did that botched withdrawal from afghanistan embolden the rest of the world? between that and the sort of urgency -- the urgent need to rekindle that iranian nuclear
1:32 pm
deal, how much have our adversaries looked at that and thought it was a sign of weakness or incompetence? >> yeah, incompetence is where i'm looking. whether the administration had their act together. of course, it's the first year. in fairness, it's the first year of the administration. biden made a lot of promises on foreign policy, that he was going in a different direction. the afghanistan debacle makes people wonder whether biden has the right people in place to implement his foreign policy to protect and advance american interests. that doesn't show weakness, but it shows as you mentioned -- one word might be a lack of -- incompetence on their part. >> charles: when it comes to china, we know president biden and president xi will now have this conference meeting but there was a serious reach from the secretary of state from the white house themselves. they were all rebuffed for quite a bit of time earlier in the year by president xi of china
1:33 pm
who seems to be on his own path. he's doing things in his own country. they're still doing this sort of diplomacy that puts country in debt. china respects strength. old school diplomacy, stage craft, if you will, is not what works with them what are your thoughts there? >> china is on a roll. you know, economically, you know, politically and militarily. just look over the summer. the bad news that came out in the advances in the intercontinental missile program. china is building 250 new icbm silos. it was -- we found out about this through open sources when civilian researchers found it using commercial satellites. but china is feeling its oats and feeling confident. the most assertive president of leader of china since mao and he plans to make a name for
1:34 pm
himself. it's a great concern especially south china sea and taiwan. so we have a lot on our plate when it comes to dealing with china. china plans to be the preimminent power in the pacific and they desire to replace the united states a top the world. >> you know china better than anyone. what can this administration do that would really say hey, we're not going to just let you achieve these goals? >> well, it's got to be peace through strength. you're right. china does respect strength. they understand strength. we have to be strong whether it's economically, diplomatically or militarily. we have to stand toe to toe with china who has a desire to supersede us. strength -- peace through strength is the way forward. >> charles: they announced that to the world. it's not a secret. thanks, peter. the biden administration reportedly flying hundreds of my grants out of texas in the
1:35 pm
middle of the night. where they're being sent and what the white house is saying is next. i'm not getting through the pandemic just to end up with the flu. i asked for fluzone high-dose quadrivalent. it's the #1-used flu vaccine for people 65 and older. fluzone high-dose quadrivalent is the only vaccine approved by the fda for superior flu protection in adults 65+. i'm not letting my guard down. fluzone high-dose quadrivalent isn't for people who've had a severe allergic reaction to any flu vaccine or vaccine component, including eggs or egg products. tell your health care professional if you've ever experienced severe muscle weakness after receiving a flu shot. people with weakened immune systems, including those receiving therapies that suppress the immune system, may experience lower immune responses.
1:36 pm
vaccination may not protect everyone. side effects include pain, redness, and/or swelling where you got the shot, muscle ache, headache, and general discomfort. other side effects may occur. all flu shots are not the same. i raised my game with fluzone high-dose quadrivalent. ask your doctor or pharmacist for fluzone high-dose quadrivalent.
1:37 pm
1:39 pm
>> fox news alert. the "new york post" reporting that the biden administration is secretly flying underage migrants from the border to suburban new york in the middle of the night. eric shawn has the latest. >> the biden administration sending the young migrants from the southern border late at night to places across the country. the "new york post" revealing that. late night charter flights depart from texas filled with teens and children that are bussed to nonprofits that house them or they're sent to relatives and sponsors. the paper spotted this world atlantic airlines charter. the plane touched down before 10:00 p.m. friday. it lasted in westchester county airport. records show some planes arrived there at 2:00 and 4:00 a.m. and
1:40 pm
similar flights have also been spotted in jacksonville, florida. ted cruz wants the flights grounded. >> their entire political strategy is based on secrecy. joe biden and kamala harris caused this. their entire strategy is ignore it. they're counting on the corrupt corporate media to ignore it. of course they fly in the middle of the night because they have no defense. >> under what is known as the flores agreement, the administration has to by law release under age migrants within 20 days. it uses facilities that sometimes are far away from the border to do that. the white house press secretary jen psaki said the administration is simply carrying out its legal responsibility. >> no surprise that kids can be seen traveling through states not just in new york. it's something that we're working to unite children with their family members or vetted sponsors in other parts of the country as well. >> the plane was back in the air
1:41 pm
today, winged its way early from mcallen back to mexico. it's another possible expulsion flight. it's been on the ground the last seven hours. we'll keep track where it goes next. >> charles: thanks. let's get the read on this from national border patrol union president brandon judd. brandon, this is a shocking headline for a lot of americans. i don't think a lot of folks understood things like this are going on. how long has it been going on? >> it's been going on since president biden has been in office. the last eight months, he's released more than 600,000 people in to the united states. they cross the border illegally. in this case, i'm grateful that we finally have footage that we have pictures of what is going on. that paints the picture for the american public to see what's going on, not just hearing numbers. you look at this, this is happening over and over again. and they've been doing it like
1:42 pm
senator cruz said, they've been doing it in secrecy. they don't want to let the american people know how failed their policies are at the border. >> charles: 2:00 a.m., 4:00 a.m., there's no doubt they don't want anybody to see this. you blew me away with the number. 600,000. we've heard from vice president harris and others that they sent the message, don't come. is it wink-wink thing? obviously they get here and allowed to come in and flown around in charter plans, the rest of the world understands the borders are completely open. >> it is wink-wink. criminal cartels, criminal organizations, they don't listen to words. they listen to actions. the actions of this administration has been very clear. if you cross our borders illegally, you'll be rewarded, released into the united states. based upon that promise that their actions have clearly shown, these cartels are able to
1:43 pm
generate billions of dollars of profit every single year. in human smuggling alone, this does not count drugs. in human smuggling alone, the criminal cartels are making over $400 million a month. a month. that is an astronomical number. we've never seen that number before. we've never seen the profits of the cartels be as high as what i that are under the biden administration and yet this administration continues to try to hide the fact behind everything doing on. >> charles: brandon, it's -- you know, this battle has gone on a long time in terms of how we resolve the immigration issue. but it's always been sort of framed as american is a compassionate nation. wouldn't it be more compassionate to deter the dangerous trek being preyed upon by the mules and the mafias and the cartels? i know someone from el salvador recently said that their sister was thinking about making the trek. someone else may the trek.
1:44 pm
it was pa -- a nightmare. i once you want to be here but shouldn't be doing more from a humanitarian point of view to stop this? >> you hit the nail on the head. we are the most compassionate country in the world. we should be the most compassionate country in the world. it's not compassionate to put women and children in the hands of these dangerous cartels. i have personally witnessed as i patrolled the border the tragedies that exist, the number of people that have passed away. we had more than 91 people -- i'm sorry. 91 people in the month of september that succumbed to the elements because the criminal cartels left them behind. that was a record in september. yes, it's not compassionate to encourage people to put themselves in the hands of these dangerous cartels. if we enforce the laws the way the laws were written, we wouldn't have this problem. the biden administration is

>> charles: the holiday shopping rush is starting earlier this year. a new survey by oracle shows half of americans are already starting their holiday shopping over fear of supply chain shortages. madison? >> it's not even halloween and people are getting started on their shopping. 52% of americans said that they started buying gifts already. if you're not in that group, you might be thinking people are crazy. it's too early. there's a method to the madness. consumers are concerned about supply chain issues and delivery delays and make sure that they can even buy the gifts. in terms of what we're looking at here, we're seeing an increase in the gifts being delivered. more than 72% of people are expecting to get their gifts delivered to their home this year. that is up from 64% last year.

this all happening at a time when we're seeing major shipping delays. that is being created by a number of problems including underemployment, cargo issues at the port and truck driver shortages. normally you see people wait to do their holiday shopping for black friday or cyber monday. not the case this year. 37% of people said they will take advantage of prime day or black friday. people buying now to ensure they get the gifts that they want in time for christmas. if you have a loved one with a specific item, might want to consider buying it now rather than later. >> charles: i'm laughing because i'm a christmas eve shopper. so i'll start earlier. what about you? have you started? >> i have not started. i have my eye on certain things and something that i have noticed, a lot of companies are starting the sales now. so walmart has things going on. i'm always keeping an eye on amazon. i have get-list items for those in my life, but no, obviously

>> you you see what is going on around the country and the world, the protests, people are protesting the choice between having to take medicine they may not need versus collecting a paycheck. when it comes to feeding your family, you have to cave in many cases. because of the union and the pilot's union, we saw the distraction i was caught up in last week trying to fly back to fort lauderdale. they don't want that to continue
1:57 pm
and are taking their foot off the gas a little bit. they are saying we will not put you on unpaid leave while we work it out. when we're in a massive employment crisis, which we are today, businesses cannot find employees, the idea you will make it harder for businesses to operate and the federal government mandates that and comes in and says, we will help you fix it, it makes no sense. that is the world we are living in today, truly remarkable. >> one of the initial areas when the economy opened back up, to your point, saw early disruption, was the airline industry. irony is they got paid by the government to keep people trained up and ready to go, we don't know what happened to that money. the fact that delta is the only airline that didn't go down this path, did that make it easier for southwest to do this about face? >> delta came out and said that a while back, southwest went
1:58 pm
ahead anyway. i don't think it did. i think the pushback, cancellations, southwest spokes people still say it had nothing to do with the vaccine. what i don't understand in the travel industry, ask yourself how many outbreaks we've had on planes? nothing. virtually nothing in two years. so why this has to be put into place makes no sense, but the same time, it is federal government mandate, worry about the contracts. what is more important, freedom and liberty of employees or 3% of revenue, in the case of southwest, tied to government contracts. that is an easy decision, i'm an entrepreneur, i will go in favor of my employees versus mandate from a bureaucrat that never operated a business in their

Diamonds are forever, Gold is precious but which is rarer? Gold is a heavy metal formed during the collision of neutron stars and is one of the rarest elements on Earth.During the formation of the earth, heavy elements gradually accumulated towards the core under the influence of the earth's gravitational force. This means that the closer you get to the Earth's crust, the harder it is to find large quantities of gold.The average concentration of gold in Earth's crust is "very, very low" at just 4 parts per billion. Gold concentrations need to be 1,250 times that level to form a market-worthy deposit.
Diamond is a common element - the natural graphite is undoubtedly a good investment opportunity.
What is natural graphite?
Natural graphite is naturally formed graphite.
Natural graphite is an important industrial mineral, which has applications in almost every aspect of manufacturing, including electronics, atomic energy, hot metal processing, friction, coatings, aerospace, powder metallurgy, etc.
What is graphite?
Graphite is the crystalline form of the element carbon. It consists of stacked layers of graphene. Graphite is naturally occurring and is the most stable form of carbon under standard conditions.
Synthetic and natural graphite is widely consumed in pencils, lubricants, and electrodes. At high pressure and temperature, it turns into diamonds. It is a weak conductor of heat and electricity.
What are the types of natural graphite?
The main types of natural graphite, each found in different types of deposits, include:
Small flakes of crystalline graphite (or flake graphite) occur as isolated, flat, plate-like particles with hexagonal edges if unfractured. When damaged, edges may be irregular or angular;
Amorphous graphite: Extremely fine flake graphite is sometimes called amorphous;
Lumpy graphite (or veined graphite) occurs in fissure veins or cracks as lumpy plate-like symbionts of fibrous or needle-like crystalline aggregates, probably of hydrothermal origin.
Highly ordered pyrolytic graphite refers to graphite whose angular distribution between graphite sheets is less than 1°.
The term "graphite fiber" is sometimes used to refer to carbon fiber or carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers.
What is natural graphite used for?
Natural graphite is a refractory material, a melting point up to 3650℃, and is a good conductor of heat and electricity. Some applications of graphite include batteries, lubricants, refractories, coatings and paints, metallurgy, and moderating rods in nuclear power plants.
Anode for electric vehicle
Graphite is currently the basic element in the production of lithium-ion batteries. Global demand for battery-grade natural and spherical graphite for the cathode is growing rapidly and will increase exponentially from 2022. These batteries are mainly used in consumer electronics and electric cars.
In addition to the steel industry, graphite is an important raw material for lightweight materials such as carbon fiber, and reinforced plastics used in cars and aircraft parts.
Lubricants and grease
Graphite used as a dry solid lubricant has become one of the most important and traditional dry lubricants in the world. For example, it is used as a lubricant for forging tools, steel, titanium, stainless steel, special superalloy stamping parts, die forging, hot extrusion, and impact extrusion processes.
Graphite has excellent lubrication, demoulding, and demoulding properties. It has high hiding power and ensures excellent tool wettability. The use of very pure graphite and highly refined oil reduces engraving and tool wear and residuals.
Refractory materials for steel, the crucible, etc.
The conductivity of graphite is about 100 times that of ordinary non-metallic minerals. In steel production, graphite is used as a protective agent for ingot and as a lining for metallurgical furnaces.
Graphite is also used in aluminum production as an alloy component in the cast iron and semiconductor industries.
Graphite, in the form of thin sheets or expanded graphite, offers the possibility of developing metal-graphite composites. Depending on the amount and direction of graphite incorporated, it can be used as a radiator material for thermal management, as a passive damping element in factories and mechanical engineering, or as a bearing material for slowly rotating plain bearings. By combining materials, properties such as strength, thermal conductivity, damping coefficient, thermal expansion coefficient, and Young's modulus can be specifically matched to the intended application. Powder metallurgy production can be targeted to control carbide content and can achieve up to 90% of the volume of graphite without pores. Therefore, mechanical finishing can be carried out even at very high graphite content.
Brake pads
Graphite is used in making brake pads. The main purpose of using graphite powder is to achieve solid lubrication and friction stability, can be used as a friction agent, and can also be used as a brake pad adhesive.
Graphite has a long tradition of producing pencils. Since the 19th century, pencil leads have been fired from a mixture of graphite and clay. Clay gives pencils hardness and pallor, while graphite gives them qualities that can best be described as black and soft.
Natural graphite Price
The price is influenced by many factors including the supply and demand in the market, industry trends, economic activity, market sentiment, and unexpected events.

The EU's draft REPowerEU plan calls for an increase of 15TWh of rooftop PV capacity by 2022. The draft also calls for EU and national governments to take action this year to reduce the time required to obtain permits for rooftop PV installations to three months, and proposes that "all new buildings and existing buildings with an energy grade OF D or above should have rooftop PV installations by 2025".
In addition, the European Commission is likely to set a target for installed PV capacity of 300GW by 2025 and 500GW by 2030. Some members are more aggressive, with Austria, Belgium, Lithuania, Luxembourg, and Spain demanding a 1TW target for 2030.
The REPowerEU initiative, worth 195 billion euros, was proposed by the EU on March 8 to phase out member states' dependence on Russian fossil fuels by 2030. In a few days, the European Commission will present a package to implement the RePowerEU strategy.
As an important application scenario of distributed PV, rooftop PV is not limited to land, and the development conditions are relatively convenient.
Since the end of 2021, Spain, France, the Netherlands, and other countries have introduced policies and measures such as government subsidies, tax cuts, fee reductions, and accelerated grid-connection approval to encourage the development of distributed PV. Europe's potential for rooftop PV is huge and will continue to be an important growth pole for the industry, according to Wood Mackenzie.

The doubts were there all the time, but in the end it was still a surprise: The Leipzig Book Fair was also canceled for 2022.
With a heavy heart, the fair announced on Wednesday that there would be no book festival in March. Too many exhibitors would have given up participating in Leipzig in the uncertain pandemic situation. This is the third cancellation of Germany's second largest book fair since the start of the pandemic. Reactions ranged from regret to the attitude that a large show wouldn't have been justifiable at the moment anyway.
75% of exhibitors accepted
According to industry reports, there had been a flurry of cancellations in recent days, particularly from major publishing groups such as Penguin Random House and Oetinger. However, there were also explicit commitments to the show, such as that of the Kurt Wolff Foundation, which represents the interests of independent publishers. "The Leipzig Book Fair is of vital importance for the diverse German book and publishing world," the foundation stressed the day before the cancellation.
Despite the ongoing pandemic, the Leipzig Fair had decided to schedule the book fair on its traditional March date. Director Oliver Zille justified this by saying that 75% of pre-crisis exhibitors had confirmed their participation in 2022. "The industry gave us clear signals to make the show possible with all our might – we fought until 'at the end for it to stand," Zille explained on Wednesday. There have been positive signals for the fair from the state government of Saxony, which is responsible for the Corona rules.
The German book trade association called the further cancellation a blow to the industry. "The fair would have been very important for the book and for all those who live for it and from it," explained director Karin Schmidt-Friderichs. She thanked all the editors who had come despite the pandemic – and at the same time expressed her understanding for all those who had decided not to. She didn't want to see "just tiredness" in him. They acted out of a sense of responsibility.
No digital replacement program
Nevertheless, it remains a fact that the book industry must and will do without the Leipzig Book Fair for the third time in a row. In 2020 it was one of the first major trade fairs in Germany to be canceled at short notice, and in 2021 a postponement of the date to warmer May did not save it. The Frankfurt Book Fair was limited to a digital edition in 2020 and was held in a reduced format in autumn 2021 with only around 70,000 visitors instead of more than 300,000 as before the crisis.
The organizers of the Leipzig show are now looking ahead to next year. There will be no digital replacement program this time, the "Leipzig Reads" reading festival was canceled together with the fair. The next book festival in Leipzig is scheduled for March 23-26, 2023. (dpa)

It is our pleasure to welcome Christina Motley to our Marketing Organizational Leadership series. A strategic marketing executive, Christina has earned over 200 awards for her leadership, creativity, writing and results across all marketing and communications channels. We talked to her about her book, Leadership Philosophies From Unsung Leaders: A compilation of principles and best practices from real people demonstrating positive change through positive leadership.
Can you give us a quick summary of your book Leadership Philosophies from Unsung Leaders?
This book celebrates and explores leadership philosophies and best practices from inspiring leaders who I believe have left lasting footprints in their endeavors. Since truly great leaders are such a rare gem to find in today's society, I wanted to provide aspiring leaders with real examples that they could read look at and follow.
Leadership Philosophies from Unsung Leaders opens with a brief insight into my past and how certain steps I either took on my own or was positioned by others to take that helped to make me who I am today.
I also share the five guiding leadership principles I live by, leadership quotes from my role models, core leadership values and more!
What are the five guiding leadership principles you live by?
- Servant Leadership
- Appreciate to Motivate
- Five stages of Leadership
- Maximize your Strength and Leverage your Weaknesses
- Transparency and Knowledge Sharing
Can you share with us some of the advice you give to aspiring leaders?
The strengths of a true leader which I find inspiring are:
- Know who you are and do not compromise your core values
- Listen to others and
- Don't be afraid to make your own path.
Do you have a personal leadership philosophy?
I live by example. I work hard, serving others honestly and ethically. I do what I say, say what I mean and demonstrate transparency. I appreciate and am grateful to all my shareholders. I am successful when those I work with are successful.
I am always working to achieve my goal to be a great, awesome and remarkable leader. I enjoy sharing what I know and daily encouraging those around me to reach their full potential.
As a CMO, what is the most important leadership trait someone can show in an industry setting?
A great leader will communicate within and outside of the company they work for; align all the teams within a business; teach best practices; build relationships with customers; send out clear, concise and frequent messages; and manage everyone with a positive attitude while still enforcing the company's brand. A great leader within an industry is like a crank attached to a line of gears—the crank must be activated for everything to mesh and work together.
Your book mentions a guiding philosophy called "10 Pennies a Day," can you explain this?
A friend of mine shared this with me and try to act on it daily. Start each day with 10 pennies (or whatever item you'd like—M&Ms, Almonds, beads, etc.), and when a team member contributes a brilliant thought, idea or action, share kind words, send a note, email them or demonstrate some form of appreciation and/or recognition. Each time this is done, move a penny from one location to another. The goal is to move 10 pennies within a day.
Everyone is afraid of messing up or doing something wrong. How can a leader bounce back after they have failed?
Every day can't be a 10. We all have off days. I believe in owning a mistake if one was made, apologizing if necessary, discussing it candidly, accepting feedback and the perception of others, forgiving and moving on. This process doesn't have to be done in this precise order, but every stage should be completed with humility—that is how a leader learns and grows.

Waterproof boots come in wide range for men, women, and children. They serve multi-purposes not just keeping water from getting inside the boot. The hiking boots that are water proof are good to have for people in hike in different weathers. It's good to have a boot that will change with you and this will do that for you.Waterproof boots have different styles. For example: they have steel toe water proof boots; they have light weighted water proof boots and a spray that will help water proof them. Generally, you need to buy them already water proofed because they will be water proofed from the inside out not just from the outside layer.
Choosing a waterproof boot can be easy as choosing what you want to eat for breakfast that morning; just know what to get when you go.

The water-proof winter boots can be with you in all the endeavors of the season. So this article on water-proof winter boots will help you to choose the best one among the wide disposal.
Pick The Best Boots
Now peruse the points that will help you to choose the need of the hour and thus make you to enjoy the chilly season to its pinnacle.
The first important point to look for is the Gore-Tex technology used in the water-proof boots. This technology is used to make the boots durably water-proof and it aims at the comfort of the even at the extremities. It gives the equal combination of breath ability and insulation to the feet.
The water-proof leather upper is long standing and it provides the apt flexibility along with the protection to the feet.
Choose the shoe which has lugs on the heel as these lugs are oriented with leading edges towards the front and they help, brake the foot along with proper traction.
The lugs under the arc of the feet enhance the stiffness of the outsole between the heel and ball of the foot for stability and support.
Look out for the shoe which has the primary flex grooves behind the ball of the foot and the secondary flex grooves in the toe area as this will respond to your foot's natural motion.
The shoes that have lugs in the forefoot are structured with the leading edges towards the rear of the shoe to help you push off when you are accelerating. So womens waterproof boots be careful about the brake, support, flex and propel of the shoes.
The Ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) mid sole gives you added cushioning and excellent orthotic inserts.
You will be comfortable with the outsole which is non-marking so that the process of releasing the mud will be easier and it also offers the best traction at all terrains.
Thus, when you shop for the water proof winter boots look for the above features. The popular brands can be considered but at the same time care must taken so that your budget does not exceed the limit. So surf the snippets and enjoy the soul stirring rain that is forayed on you by the nature.
Winter is approaching and everyone has to dig out her warm clothes and cozy accessories to bundle up from head to toe in order to keep warm. Can you just picture that young girls were seen walking down the street in boots with very little soles and no support a couple of years ago? Well, fashion winter boots have caught on since then. Nowadays it is much easier for style conscious ladies to find a cozy pair of winter boots that not only suit any stylish lady but also offer incomparable support and benefits to the wearer. These benefits include comfort, safety on those slippery surfaces, less pressure on your joints and back for improved posture. In this regard, these fashion winter boots are here to stay. And in this article we are going to take a close look at these detailed benefits.
These winter boots are designed to enable you enjoy your walking. They can tone your leg and bum muscles when you are stepping. Like a little gym, some boots have shown to increase muscle activation by a massive 30% just when you are walking. Thus you will get more definition and toning in your legs and bottom. So that your everyday walking turns into a workout and there is less need to spend hours at the gym.
Back to basics, these fashion winter boots are very comfortable and warm. Never taking pretence for style or fashion, these boots are made of solely quality materials to be durable, warm, comfortable and even water-proof. Usually the adopted materials are light-weighted rubber for soles and well-processed leather for uppers. Now the trendiest boots for winter wear usually have flat soles and big shafts. They may look bulky but really cater to modern people' s tastes as all the benefits they give overwhelm that.
A large plus from these boots now is a bit of a lift given to your bum. For such a long term, fashionable ladies have suffered from bad posture on their shoes with heeled soles and unsupportive slim uppers. The turn-up of these winter boots enable the wearer a total release to walk straight and tall as your balance is tested as soon as you put the boots on.
Apart from improving the posture, these winter boots also create a decrease in foot pressure, restless leg syndrome, heel spurs and sciatica. Considering so many benefits they offer to the wearer, there would be nobody informed of this that can turn head when seeing a pair of supportive and stylish winter boots. They have become a popular fashion trend now and their sleek streamlined look is versatile to dress up almost any type of outfits during winter months.
Therefore, why not just invest in a pair of supportive fashion winter boots now? If choosing a classic style, they will surely last you for more than just one snowy season!

The closest that Ravens outside linebacker Courtney Upshaw came to recording a sack last season was having one erased by a roughing-the-passer penalty.
It was a frustrating experience for Upshaw, who finished with zero sacks for the first time in his NFL career.
Heading into the final year of a $5.306 million rookie contract, Upshaw is hoping to increase his productivity. The 25-year-old, who has three career sacks, said Monday he's not satisfied by pressures and quarterback hits.
"Everybody knows that being close is not actually getting the job done," Upshaw said at the start of the Ravens' third and final organized team activity. "In this league, sacks count. A lot of people look at the pressures. With me, it's either I get there or I don't. I don't count the pressure as actually getting the job done. They gave me plenty of opportunities to get after the quarterback. It's on me to take advantage of those opportunities."
Upshaw had hoped his big hit last September on Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, which knocked the wind out of the veteran passer and left him sore for several weeks, would propel him toward sacks.
It didn't work out that way. Upshaw was fined $16,537 by the league office and while he made 42 tackles in 14 starts, fellow outside linebackers Elvis Dumervil, Terrell Suggs and Pernell McPhee combined for 361/2 sacks last year.
Upshaw has devoted his offseason to improving his flexibility so he will be able to cover ground faster and contort his body to create leverage while rushing the passer. Upshaw worked out with fellow former Alabama football players Mike McCoy and Justin Woodall at the Warehouse Performance Institute in Birmingham, Ala., to try to become more mobile and limber.
Although Upshaw remains a bulky, powerful presence at 6-feet-2, 272 pounds, he's noticeably quicker on the practice field this spring.
"I'm feeling great," said Upshaw, a former second-round NFL draft pick. "Working out with a couple of my old teammates, we worked on loosening up my hips and flexibility and footwork because I'm in coverage a lot. I see it translating to me running better and being able to move out there.
"I've come to understand that my body is just different, if you're talking about my weight. I feel like if I can just get loose in the hips and get rid of that stiffness, then I can be able to do a lot more. Basically, I was limiting myself by not doing the stretches and working on my hips in the past offseasons."
With the departure of Pernell McPhee to the Chicago Bears in March via a five-year, $39 million contract, the Ravens have a pass-rushing void they're hoping Upshaw can help fill. The Ravens drafted Kentucky outside linebacker-defensive end Za'Darius Smith in the fourth round, but it will likely require Smith and Upshaw combining to replace McPhee's 71/2 sacks last season.
"He's having a good camp here every day," defensive coordinator Dean Pees said of Upshaw. "He has always been a smart football player. That certainly hasn't changed at all, and I think he has worked a lot here in the offseason. I can see him being a part of our pass rush, no doubt."
If Upshaw affects the Ravens' defense by producing more as a pass rusher, he could also emerge as a more valuable free agent next year.
"I think Courtney is realizing that he's in his contract year," general manager Ozzie Newsome said during a conference call last month with season-ticket holders. "Getting to the quarterback only adds to his value as he moves forward."
Upshaw took notice of how McPhee cashed in with the Bears, though his preference is to remain with the Ravens.
"Of course, who wouldn't want to continue with the team that gave them a chance by drafting them?" Upshaw said. "At the end of the day, it's all about going out and showing them they brought me in here for a reason. I want to show them what I can do. ... I want to show anybody who had a part in me being here, from the owner down, it's another opportunity to show what I can do and give back to them for giving me the opportunity."
In the Ravens' 3-4 scheme, one of Upshaw's primary job responsibilities has been to force plays toward the inside linebackers as edge setter. He has 132 career tackles and a forced fumble. At Alabama, Upshaw was a consensus All-American who finished his career with 171/2 sacks, 361/2 tackles for a loss and six forced fumbles. He was part of two national championship teams.
While Elvis Dumervil and Terrell Suggs remain the featured pass rushers on a team that was second in the league with 49 sacks last season, Upshaw will get opportunities to go after the quarterback more this year.
"My mindset is a little different, I see it changing every year," Upshaw said. "It starts in the offseason. I had to learn that being a young player. Going into my fourth year, you tend to learn things from guys like Suggs and Elvis. You see those guys out here getting pressure and translating into the season. I wanted to come out and do the same things."
Two years ago, Upshaw missed several offseason workouts while attending to family issues in Alabama and ballooned to roughly 295 pounds. He lost the weight before the season, but Ravens coach John Harbaugh questioned his eating habits. Upshaw was 282 pounds last spring and looks a bit leaner this year.
"I don't want to talk about my weight," Upshaw said. "I'll let Harbs release that and maybe he'll go out and say, 'Oh man, Courtney is eating good.' I've been working, man.
"I got to continue to work. You hear the praise and you read all the negatives, and you just got to take both and pile it all together and go out there and produce and show everybody that you can play this game at the highest level. That's what I want to do."

- Robert Le is a Senior PitchBook Emerging Tech Analyst and former PwC Associate.
- Crypto exchange FTX has accepted $1.96 billion in VC backing, per a recent PitchBook report.
- VCs are still investing, Le says, because they don't want to "miss the next Google" of crypto.
It's been a rocky year for crypto markets. The nascent space has slashed almost two-thirds of its value, according to Messari on Monday, with ethereum and bitcoin dropping over 63.4% and 65.2% from their all-time highs.
The market took major hits following the collapse of algorithmic stablecoin TerraUSD, or UST, causing widespread contagion concerns. Crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital, which reportedly had exposure to UST, filed for bankruptcy. Major centralized lender Celsius and brokerage Voyager Digital followed suit.
On the macro front, token prices have sustained a significant correlation to traditional equities on inflation concerns, leaving investors wary of risk assets at-large. Crypto market have made slow and steady gains in recent weeks, however.
Prices aren't the sole gauge of the nascent space's longevity or health. Despite a nearly two trillion-dollar loss of its market cap since November, venture funding is still on track to outpace last year, according to a Q2 2022 fintech report from PitchBook.
Robert Le, a senior PitchBook emerging tech analyst, told Insider that despite a bearish market, projects and protocols are still getting sizable capital.
"We believe crypto funding in 2022 could surpass last year's record high of $25.8 billion based on the continual increase in capital flows this year," Le said. "The more than $18.5 billion invested to date extrapolates to over $30 billion for the year. Further, a record amount of crypto VC is still sitting on the sidelines, which we believe will drive funding activity for the remainder of the year."
Fintech venture funding at-large has slowed down, however, with investments falling 17.8% from the last quarter. Per the report, this is the largest percentage drop since Q3 2018, causing startups to attract potential M&A opportunities in the future.
To be sure, new investors could be warded off by more systemic risks in the space, resulting in a downturn in crypto venture funding. For the first half of 2022, investments in crypto-related companies totalled $9.3 billion, according to data from Crunchbase, down from $12.5 billion in the first half of last year. However, 534 deals were announced in H1 2022, compared to 456 in H1 of the year before.
Despite bearish market, venture funding continues
Amid market carnage, Solana-based non-fungible token (NFT) marketplace Magic Eden announced a whopping $130 million Series B raise at a $1.6 billion valuation in June. Venture giant Andreessen Horowitz also secured a $4.5 billion fund for crypto investments, while Soona Amhaz's venture firm Volt Capital raised a $50 million fund as well.
Amhaz's fund, which completed its cap formation in less than a month, said bear markets are the best time for LPs to invest. Last year, VCs were paying Series A figures for early-stage projects, per Amhaz, but now investors can capitalize on rounds while lowering pre-seed risk.
"The exact right time to be investing in founders is when the markets cool down," she previously told Insider, adding that a bear market gives investors a "margin of safety."
"When you're investing at those prices, you're assuming perfection," Amhaz continued. "You assume that the team is going to perfectly hit product-market fit, that they're going to hire the perfect team to do it, and that everything is going to work flawlessly."
Le echoed these sentiments, adding that terms and valuations in bear markets will be "more favorable for investors" as venture capitalists try to seek out the "strongest" projects.
Second, the analyst compared the market to the dot-com boom, adding that investors don't want to miss out on the premiums that some of their peers may have notched in the late 1990's. VCs are still investing, Le says, because they don't want to "miss the next Google" of crypto.
"If you pulled back on investing during the dot-com era you would have missed out on the next Google, the next Amazon, or the next Ebay. No one wants to miss out on that," Le said. "I think a lot of these people are still pushing on the pedal because they believe the next Amazon or the next Ebay will come out of this market."
Third, venture funding remains strong due to high-conviction investors who believe that crypto will be the "next technological revolution," according to Le.
He added: "If that's true then there's going to be trillions of dollars that's going to be created in this space. And VCs do not want to miss out."
Some of the top VC-backed fintech companies, per the report, include exchange FTX and custody platform Fireblocks. FTX and Fireblocks have received more than a combined $3.1 billion in venture funding, as of June 30, 2022. The top VC investors in fintech companies include asset manager BlackStone and PE firm Accel-KKR with 39 deals total.

Framing is an essential part of experiencing Jai's digital crafted artworks. Our frames are hand-selected by the artist to bring each piece to life. Jai's creations are beautifully placed within handcrafted Italian frames and ornate enclosures.
Limited edition artworks are housed in a range of frames recommended by Jai Sol. Our selected frames are chosen to enrich the artwork and cater to a host of environments. Jai procures materials, colours, textures and finishes for each frame that complement the finer details in his work. In some instances,
Jai aims to generate a mood that allows the art to breathe and, in others, use the frame to enhance the concept in the art.
Six key features of our range of frames available for limited edition works.
The shade, tone and overall colour of framing will only add value to the artwork. Jai hand-selects his colours to complete each piece.
As Jai's pieces convey an array of textures in print, it is vital to frame the art with surfaces that subtly contain similar textures.
It is crucial to provide collectors and buyers of Jai's art with a high-quality product, durable in multiple environments. Each material, from the frame to the glass to the finishings, are made to last.
All Jai sol artworks are covered in the highest quality non-glare, high definition glass. Each pane is manufactured by acid etching one or two surfaces of the glass, providing uniform, evenly diffused surfaces for high-resolution applications. Non-glare glass disperses reflected light, allowing the user to focus on the transmitted image.
Certain pieces of art will require additional elements of framing, including slips being the larger frame. These additions add another layer to the structure and are only used to add gravitas to the art.
mounts and finishings
Jai's framed pieced include a range of finishes and fittings to suit the collectors and buyers' requirements for displaying their art. Our expert framers will assist with selecting the correct solution for hanging, displaying or storing the art.
For years, Jai experimented with print, often adapting his work style, the materials he used, and other elements in his art to suit the print's surface, the ink used, and the replication method. He understood the dynamic between the ink and canvas or paper and how integral it was to use specific techniques in the creative process to highlight and showcase features or elements in the art, no matter the quality of the surface material.
He gained a substantial amount of knowledge on surface materials, i.e., canvas, fabric, glass and paper,
during his apprenticeship years as a traditional fine artist. Jai used a vast range of pigment-based oil and acrylics to paint on canvas and experimented with the colour, brush strokes or daubs to add textures and to generate light and depth by burning distressing the canvas. He learned the relationship between paint and canvas and manipulated both entities to create effects or specific features in the art. His awareness of these dynamics advanced when he experimented with fine liner pens on paper, charcoal on wax and even spray paint on concrete. No matter the creative material or tool or the surface material, for Jai, an absolute science with a touch of magic was involved in knowing, merging and transcending both materials to generate a
visual experience with and beyond the materials.
With over fifteen years of experience as a self-publishing artist , exhibiting and selling thousands of duplicates of his digitally crafted masterpieces, Jai knows the value of quality replication. Each piece of art is fine-tuned to come alive in print.
Jai's first ever digital work in print made in 1994.
The moment Jai migrated his practice to digital technology and applications, he applied similar principles to his new medium but now, instead of pigments, he had pixels. Instead of canvas, he had a digital file that Jai could print onto an assortment of surfaces. His early experiments with digital printing did not lead to much success or inspiration as the printing technology was undeveloped, less sophisticated to compliment the digital mediums and their capacity. In 1992, software such as paint and photoshop was in its infancy but still had advanced processes to generate dynamic visuals that Jai could not exactly replicate on both domestic and industrial printers. He knew he had to wait for the printing world to catch up before genuinely showcasing digitally created art. Jai didn't want to wait and chose to ignore the surface material in the printing process. He decided to dissect the creative tool, to understand every element of the digital software, its processes, operations, functions and even limitations. He knew that he could manipulate it to achieve whatever visual experience possible if he could understand it, allowing him to express freely as the artists, the creator.
Examples of Jai using surface materials as another element of the art.
A Giclee print on fine art paper made in 2020.
Example of watercolour digitised on distressed canvas.
Example of digitised oils printed on watercolour paper.
Sample of Jai's digital artwork, fine tuned to merge when printed on fine art paper to create a floating, layered effect.
Example of mixed media digitised on silk fabric.
Example of mixed media digitised on luster paper.
Jai invested twelve years studying a series of software and digital applications. As he learned how to use colours and edit imagery throughout this period, he witnessed the emergence of high def digital technology in printing onto multiple surfaces. He also saw the possibility of light projection and art in a three-dimensional virtual space. No matter the surface, the technology or area, Jai continued to experiment and eventually created a unique process in generating his art that can be applied onto any surface, material and look exactly as he intended.
Six key elements to Jai's unique process for optimising prints of his art.
colour manipulation
Tweaking the variables in each pixel and merging
them with scanned photographs of traditional
colour and light.
textural elements
Including scanned photos and hand made replications of rich and subtle textures, overlaying specific area to create depth and highlights.
Fuse the traditional, more conventional way of arranging features with background by layering and merging elements and editing each layer with digital software.
light generation
Generating artificial light sources with texture and distortion to create ambience and atmosphere.
3d elements
Creating 3d models of shapes, objects and patterns to further emphasise areas of the composition and offer a contrast to more natural space
Ignoring the process and injecting my spirit, pain, love, hope, dreams, imagination, and self-awareness into creating and transforming a mechanical process into natural phenomena
Orbs are works printed and mounted in a circular shape and covered in crystal clear plexiglass with a white wooden subframe. The orb is genuinely unique and designed to bring out the best colour rendition & sharpness possible and is our most stylish way to experience Jai Sol Masterpieces.
Our classic range of framing options consists of boutique styled frames hand made for luxurious wall mirrors. Our range of opulent classics in this range are hallmarked with decorative patterns, colourful stones and bevelled features.
Our modern range of framing options offers high-grade moulds in a sleek, thin style. Contemporary frames have a slender front profile with a minimum depth range. Modern frames allow the art, the colours and composition to be prominent.

red cell distribution width, biomarker, elderly, risk factors
RDW: Red Cell Distribution Width
For many years, clinical researchers have spent a lot of time and funding obtaining prognostic factors with a good predictive value for acute and chronic disorders. However, such markers are not available word wide, and its determination adds an extra cost to the patient and health institutions.1 Red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is a parameter of circulating erythrocytes measured by hematology analyzer. It is calculated automatically and it is expressed as a percentage. A normal RDW is 11.5 to 14.5%. This parameter has been typically used in hematology to diagnose microcytic anemia. However current studies have shown that RDW played a key role in acute and chronic diseases through various potential physiological and pathological manifestations.2,3 In fact, in the last 10 years, clinical studies have shown strong statistical and independent associations between higher RDW and several diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, cancer, pneumonia and gastrointestinal disorders, as well as other acute or chronic conditions, which in turn are present in older adults.4,5 As RDW is an inexpensive and routine biomarker, with high reproducibility and is widely available in all hematological analyzers, efforts to establish its clinical role could be very valuable for morbidity and mortality risk stratification in older adults.
RDW, Morbidity and mortality in older adults
RDW has been historically useful to diagnose anemia-related disorders such as iron, folate and vitamin B12 deficiencies, sickle cell-β-thalassemia and immune hemolytic anemia.6,7 For many years, the RDW was only considered useful for hematological diseases. However, Felker et al. in an elegant paper, demonstrated a close relationship between increased RDW and poor prognosis in patients with cardiovascular diseases, irrespective of their anemia status.8 Subsequently, this biomarker began to be explored more deeply in various cardiovascular diseases such as acute or chronic heart failure, acute myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, among others. These studies reported a high predictive value related to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.9-11 More interestingly, several reports expanded this notion by assessing the relationship of RDW with other acute or chronic diseases, such as diabetes, cancer, kidney diseases, liver failure and other pathologies, as shown in Figure 1. For example, the use of the RDW in the diagnosis of malignant tumors (i.e. endometrial, lung, colon and liver cancers) has recently attracted much attention.12 A high RDW has been positively correlated with the stage of several cancers, including the number of metastatic tissues, tumor diameter, and over expression of established cancer biomarkers.12 Likewise, current reports have showed higher RDW levels in patients with neurological or psychiatric disorders such as migraine, depression and anxiety.13,14
An important question: How does the RDW increase?
Although different studies have demonstrated that RDW is a robust and independent predictor of morbidity and mortality compared with another established risk biomarkers, the mechanism explaining why a high RDW value is associated with acute or chronic diseases remains unknown. It has been proposed that inflammation and oxidative stress are the main events that could alter erythrocyte homeostasis and therefore to induce a RDW increase.2,3 In this regard, inflammation inhibits bone marrow function and iron metabolism.2,3,16 Moreover, proinflammatory cytokines inhibits erythropoietin-induced erythrocyte maturation and proliferation, which is reflected partly by a RDW increase.15 Lippi et al., reported that the RDW was positively correlated with the erythrocyte sedimentation rate and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein level, indicating that the RDW reflects the inflammatory state of the body.16 In addition, metabolic abnormalities such as shortening of telomere length, poor nutritional status (deficiencies of iron, folic acid, and vitamin B12), dyslipidemia, hypertension, erythrocyte death or alteration of erythropoietin function might contribute to RDW increase.17,18 All these alterations are common in older people; thus, we could hypothesize that RDW is a "master" blood biomarker reflecting the general health status in the elderly.
Considering the economic, technical and clinical advantages, the measurement of RDW alone or combined with other stablished clinical biomarkers could be very useful for improving the risk stratification of morbidity and mortality of many diseases. However unraveling the detailed mechanisms associated with higher levels of RDW is necessary for the future acceptance of this parameter within the medical and scientific community as a general and useful marker.
