Koikeya Roasted Shrimp and Garlic Corn Snacks: Shaped like crunchy Cheetos, these corn sticks are heavily seasoned with a roasted seafood flavor that's both salty and sweet. Like an amped up version of Shrimp Chips, with the same level of saturated flavor as a Frito Lay's snack but distinctively Asian with its use of shellfish in junk food. Purchased at Inegaya. 3.5/5.0recommended japanese koikeya roasted shrimp garlic corn snacks 3.5
Hula's Shrimp and Garlic Maui Chips: Another flavor of Hula's potato chips, Japanese kettle-style potato chips that stand out for their Western-looking packaging and portion sizes (typically in Japan, the potato chips come in smaller 1-2 serving packs). Shrimp and Garlic is not a normal potato chip flavor I'd see stateside, so it was exciting to give this Asian take a try. The garlic flavor is very prominent and is the main flavor you taste, though the seafood does come through as well. It reminds me a bit of shrimp scampi, ...

Shrimp peanut snack: Despite my best effort at detective work with Google Translate and Reverse Image Search, I wasn't able to track down the exact brand of this senbei snack. Too bad, because it's one of the best ones I've had before. Purchased from Tokyo Fish Market in Berkeley, the snack consists of baked hollow balls filled with peanuts. Unlike the traditional crunchy glazed rice crackers I've had before, this one had a crumbly, buttery exterior that melt-in-your-mouths. The shell is well seasoned with a rob...

Calbee Hot Garlic Shrimp Crackers: Another unexpected take on this classic Chinese shrimp cracker, this time "hot garlic." Ridged crisps are tossed in a tangy seasoned coating that is unmistakably garlic but not particularly spicy. Somewhat reminiscent of a sweet paprika flavor mixed with MSG. Same delicious savory shrimp flavor. I don't know if I like it more than the original, but I don't regret trying it either. 3.0/5.0berkeleybowl seafood chinese calbee hot garlic shrimp crackers 3.0
Calbee Yuzu and black pepper shrimp chips: I grew up eating MSG-laden Calbee shrimp crackers, so it was neat to see they are celebrating 50 years. This is the first time I tried anything outside their original flavor. The crispy crackers had a tangy slightly sour seasoning that was more interesting than tasty. Still, adding a yuzu flavor to their line seems appropriate and on trend; maybe this will help them reach 50 more years. 3.0/5.0japanese calbee yuzu black pepper shrimp chips 3.0

It's 2021 and clearly, YouTube has outclassed the viewership of traditional television. More people now get the choice to view their favorite type of content at their own convenience and this raises one big question; which channel is really the best on YouTube then?
While we are here to show you a list of them, it is important to know that the data being reported is on the basis of the most number of subscribers only.
Looking at the list, Indian Bollywood music channel T-Series currently stands as the most followed YouTube channel with a following of 172 million. This is followed by a more well-known comedy channel PewDiePie that has 109 million followers and is being run by Swede Felix Kjellberg.
For those of you who don't remember, 2018 was the year where both of the channels started to battle head to head for the number spot on YouTube. But unfortunately, it was Kjellberg who finally lost to the massive craze of Indian cinematic soundtracks across all continents. Before that, it was PewDiePie that had the most subscribers on YouTube for almost five years.
The battle took an interesting turn when Kjellberg and the majority of his fellow YouTuber friends conducted a rally by publishing novelty diss track Bitch Lasagna about T-Series. While the video did go viral with almost 282 million views (as of today), they also went one step ahead by opening up an offer of the most expensive seats at the 2019 Super Bowl in order to make people continue subscribing.
Indian YouTubers later turned out to be smart enough to join the bandwagon by asking people to follow the T-Series account in response to the video. As the music company clearly took advantage of the "patriotism" factor, the move worked in their favor to grab the number spot.
For now, the ranking of the most-followed YouTube channels is dominated by the music and entertainment industry. However, during the pandemic as more kids' content channels have started to appear on the platform - all thanks to the parents demanding for them - one can expect the dominance shifting soon.

NEW YORK, Dec.23 (Reuters) – Global demand for oil exploded in 2021 as the world began to recover from the coronavirus pandemic, and aggregate global consumption could potentially hit a new high in 2022 – despite efforts to reduce the consumption of fossil fuels to mitigate climate change.
Gasoline and diesel consumption increased this year as consumers resumed travel and business activity picked up. For 2022, crude consumption is expected to reach 99.53 million barrels per day (bpd), up from 96.2 million bpd this year, according to the International Energy Agency. This would be a hair less than the daily consumption of 99.55 million barrels in 2019.
This will put pressure on OPEC and the U.S. shale industry to meet demand – after a year in which major producers were surprised by the rebound in activity which exceeded supply and led to tight stocks. in the whole world. Many OPEC countries have struggled to ramp up production, while the US shale industry faces investor demands to stay on track with spending.

After starting the year at $ 52 a barrel, Brent crude climbed to around $ 86 a barrel before running out of steam at the end of the year. Forecasters say prices could resume their upward trajectory in 2022, unless supply increases more than expected. Bank of America researchers estimate that Brent will average $ 85 per barrel in 2022, due to low inventories and lack of spare capacity.
The unknown is the variant of the Omicron coronavirus, as many countries have reimposed travel restrictions that will hurt the aviation industry and consumption.
âIf this is another wave like the ones we've seen before, it will negatively impact economic growth in the first quarter of 2022,â said Damien Courvalin, head of energy research at Goldman Sachs. "But if there is a subsequent recovery, demand for oil, which briefly touched pre-COVID levels in early November, would then hit new highs for most of 2022."
The 2021 rebound surprised suppliers, exacerbating tensions between major producing countries and the world's largest consumers like the United States, China and India. With gasoline prices rising sharply at the start of the year, US President Joe Biden called on the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, known as OPEC +, to increase overall production after limited supply for months. (GRAPHIC: rebound in demand)
However, OPEC countries have struggled to increase production due to underinvestment, as Reuters data showed the group was too close to its production targets in November. Read more
Likewise, the US shale industry has not responded to the price hike as it had before, yielding to investor pressure to restrain spending. Global U.S. production averaged 11.2 million b / d in 2021, compared to a record high of nearly 13 million b / d at the end of 2019, according to the US Energy Information Administration.
Canada, Norway, Guyana and Brazil are expected to increase their supply over the coming year, said Claudio Galimberti, senior vice president of analysis at Rystad Energy. U.S. oil production is expected to average 11.9 million barrels per day by 2022, according to the EIA.
Coronavirus cases are increasing due to the highly contagious variant of Omicron, and new outbreaks could slow the recovery in major economies. The IEA and others have lowered their expectations slightly, with the IEA cutting its forecast for 2021 and 2022 by 100,000 bpd on average to account for the drop in air travel.
"Even 5% of the unvaccinated population can create a crisis," said Fereidun Fesharaki, chairman of the consultancy firm FGE. "The idea that you can have 70%, 80% or 90% immunized and be OK is being questioned."
However, there is still little evidence that Omicron has had a dramatic effect on demand. Fuel stocks at the Amsterdam-Rotterdam-Antwerp (ARA) hub, a key European oil and gas transport location, have fallen in the most recent week – a signal of stable consumption. Fuel prices are the highest on record in Britain, data from the Fuel Watch unit of car services company RAC showed.
In Asia, profit margins at refineries to produce gasoline have cooled in recent weeks amid concerns over Omicron demand, but the general expectation for 2022 is a further recovery, with profits rising. high for distillates like diesel.
Emerging Asian markets like Indonesia and Thailand are expected to recover more strongly in 2022, said Peter Lee, senior oil and gas analyst at Fitch Solutions.
Gasoline demand is expected to increase by 350,000 barrels per day in 2022 in Asia, according to Richard Gorry, managing director of JBC Energy Asia.
âThe majority of this growth in demand will come from India, followed by China,â he said. "But we would even see demand in Japan increase by 30,000 bpd as COVID restrictions gradually ease."

Improve your overall sense of well-being with Mood Elevator TCM, a concentrated blend of Chinese herbs that strengthen liver function and support mood.
Strengthens liver function, which may affect mood. Overall sense of well-being, supports the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems. Depression.
- Encourages an overall sense of well-being.
- Strengthens liver function, which may affect mood.
- Supports the nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.
How It Works:
This formula contains the same herbs found in Chinese Mood Elevator but in a highly concentrated blend. Traditional Chinese Medicine would consider this a "fire enhancing" combination to regulate and untrap the chi (vitality). Its Chinese name jie yu can be translated to mean "relieve anxiety and tension." According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, when the liver is functioning at its peak, positive mood may be maintained.
Because the liver helps provide filtered blood to all cells of the body, liver health and function can greatly influence mood. Undesirable blood compounds must be properly neutralized by the liver. Chinese Mood Elevator contains Chinese herbs that help cleanse and support the liver. Bupleurum is thought to strengthen the liver, providing a "yang" energy that the Chinese believe raises the chi (the body's living force) in the digestive organs. Cyperus also influences the liver and improves digestion with its bitter and aromatic properties.
Concentrated extract of perilla leaves, cyperus rhizome, chih-shih fruit, typhonium rhizome, aurantium peel, bamboo sap, bupleurum root, cnidium rhizome, gambir stem, hoelen sclerotium, ophiopogon root tuber, ginger rhizome, ginseng root, platycodon root, tang-kuei root, coptis rhizome and licorice root.
Recommended Use:
Take 1 or 2 capsules with a meal daily.
Chinese Anti-Depressive.
Improves vitality and revives sagging spirit by strengthening the liver and building energy.
(The Chinese believe that liver is the seat of a person's ability to adapt to change and act.).
Raised energy can make sleeping difficult if taken at night.
A stronger liver relieves aches, pains and fatigue, etc.
Weakened liver conditions include cirrhosis and hepatitis.
Can also release suppressed hostility, for a little while, on the way back to emotional balance.
Everyone should acknowledge anger, and forgive.
Switch to Liver Cleanse formula during this period.
To help restore balance within the body, Mood Elevator Chinese Combination, known as "Jie Yu" in Chinese, "relieves the depression." This combination is designed to regulate the flow of energy in the body. Jie Yu means "relieves the depression" indicating the general purpose of this formula. So, if your mental and physical energies are "down", read on. This formula may be just what you need to get you "up" again.
Mood Elevator is designed to do the following:
1. It stimulates digestive secretions, thus helping to raise body energy by improving digestion.
2. It supports the liver energy. A weakened liver results in problems like depression, PMS, blood sugar imbalances and a general feeling of illness.
3. It helps to thin mucus, promote its flow and stimulate its expulsion from the lungs. This reduces lymphatic congestion and aids the respiratory system.
4. It helps to stimulate the nervous system and the circulation for more energy. May also help to relieve nervous tension and spasms.
5. Helps to balance the glandular system which is important for emotional stability. Specifically, it helps the pancreas and adrenals, which regulate blood sugar levels, and the reproductive glands.
6. It raises the energy or chi of the body and helps release trapped emotional energy
According to Steven Horne
Mood Elevator is a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) formula that is used to relieve sagging energy (chi). It is helpful for sadness, depression, fatigue, insomnia and anxiety. Unlike modern Western approaches to depression which focus on the neurotransmitter serotonin, Mood Elevator works in a holistic manner to relieve depression and sadness by balancing liver, digestive, intestinal and nervous functions.
The formula supports the liver, expels mucus and toxins from the liver and digestive tract, relaxes muscle spasms, stimulates circulation and energy and eases indigestion. In TCM terms, it relieves sagging chi (or energy) and disperses stagnant chi. It also expels wind (constriction and spasm) and dampness (excess fluid). So, it is useful not only for depression, but for congestion and sluggishness of the liver, abdominal bloating and pain, lymphatic congestion, anxiety and nervous tension and muscle spasms.
Here are the ingredients in this formula and their benefits:
Perilla leaf (Perilla frutescens) is an aromatic herb with a pungent flavor. It is warming and stimulating, moving stagnant energy in the body and relieving intestinal bloating and distention. It helps improve the duration of sleep.
Cyperus rhizome (Cyperus rotundus) is used in TCM to relieve depressed liver function, depression of the chi (or energy), liver-stomach disharmony and distention and pain in the chest and the abdomen. It enhances energy, improves digestion and relieves depressed feelings.
Chih-shih fruit (Citrus aurantium) is the fruit of the bitter orange. It is used to expel phlegm and relieve constipation. It also breaks up and disperses stagnant energy. The formula also contains aurantium peel, which is the peel of the same fruit, expels mucus while increasing circulation.
Typhonium rhizome (Typhonium flageliforne) is pungent and warming, relaxes muscle spasms, and expels phlegm and dampness.
Bamboo Sap (Phyllostachys nigra) is a sap that comes from heated bamboo. It is sweet and cooling and affects the heart and lung energy. It clears heat and helps expel phlegm. It has been used to treat respiratory infections, lung congestion, fainting, vomiting and gastritis.
Bupleurum root (Bupleurum chinese) is a major liver remedy in TCM. It is believed to resolve "disharmony" between the liver and spleen (digestion) that results in bloating and indigestion. It reduces inflammation in the liver, regulates energy, and reduces cholesterol and liver inflammation. Emotionally, it is believed to help dredge up feelings of anger and sadness so they can be released. It has been used for moodiness and sagging spirits.
Cnidum rhizome (Ligusticum wallichii) is a warm and acrid remedy that moves energy and relaxes muscle spasms. According to TCM, it affects the liver and gallbladder and relieves depression. It also has pain relieving and anti-inflammatory effects.
Gambir stem (Uncaria rhynchophylla) is a relative of cat's claw or una d'gato (Uncaria tomentosa). It is a sedative and antispasmodic and is mainly used to relieve spasms, headache, dizziness and other disorders caused by tension. It has been used in TCM to treat nervous disorders like epilepsy, hypertension, convulsion and anxiety. It calms the liver and contains a substance that protects the liver from infection.
Hoelen (Poris cocos) is a sedative and diuretic, used in TCM to quiet the spirit and the heart.
Ophiopogon tuber (Ophiopogon japonicus) is used in TCM for the lungs, stomach and heart. It is nourishing and moistening and is used to treat insomnia and to remove "vexation" from the heart.
Mood Elevator also contains small amounts of the following herbs as balancers and catalysts.
Ginger rhizome (Zingiber officinale) stimulates circulation in the abdomen and improves digestion.
Panax Ginseng (Panax ginseng) is a general tonic. It is adaptagenic and has been used to treat forgetfulness, fatigue and insomnia.
Platycodon root (Platycodon grandiflorum) is an expectorant and lowers blood sugar and cholesterol. It opens and diffuses chi (energy).
Tang-kuei root, better known as dong quai (Angelica sinensis) is a mild sedative, blood builder and digestive tonic.
Coptis root (Coptis chinenses) normalizes liver and digestive function.
Licorice root (Glycyrrihiza uralensis) supports adrenal function and helps energy and fluid balance in the body.
Suggested Use for the TCM formula
For depression and nervous problems, the recommended dose is 1 capsule twice daily.
For digestive upset, liver problems, etc., use 1 capsule daily.
Many people have been able to get off anti-depressant drugs with this formula, taking the formula along with their medication, until they begin to feel better. They then gradually reduce the dose of their medication.
Never discontinue anti-depressant medications abruptly. Ideally, this process should be done under professional supervision.

Catalogue description Highways Maps and Plans
|Highways Maps and Plans
This series consists of plans drawn up for the improvement of the road system to cope with increasing traffic, largely in the Greater London area.
The plans have been listed in Registration No order.
|Held by:
|The National Archives, Kew
|Legal status:
|Public Record(s)
|Physical description:
|172 roll(s)
|Access conditions:
|Subject to 30 year closure unless otherwise stated
|Immediate source of acquisition:
In 1974 Department of the Environment
|Administrative / biographical background:
In 1905 the Royal Commission on the Means of Locomotion and Transport in London drew attention, in their Report, to the inadequacy of the existing road system in the Metropolitan area to cater for increasing traffic.
The London Traffic Branch of the Board of Trade began an enquiry into the worsening state of affairs and in 1909 made recommendations for improvement, these recommendations including many of the arterial roads and by-passes that were later built. The London Arterial Road Conferences, 1912-1916 considered these recommendations and agreed on a list of proposals to form the basis of an Arterial Roads Improvement Scheme.
After the 1914-1918 war the situation became increasingly urgent owing to the rapid growth of motor traffic, both private and commercial, while the Government, through the Unemployment (Relief Works) Act 1920, were anxious that schemes should be commenced which would rapidly absorb some of the unskilled labour then unemployed.
The plans contained in this series are for the most part engineers work plans produced within the Ministry; proposed lines of route submitted by local authorities; contract drawings from construction companies and bridge construction diagrams. Some of the schemes referred to were eventually carried through in a different form from that shown in these records and some have never been carried through.
The majority of the plans have been drawn up by the Ministry but outside authorship is noted in the list where known.

In this episode of The Agency Accelerator Podcast, I am joined by the CEO and co-founder of uGurus, Brent Weaver.
Brent and I had similar beginnings in the agency world. In this episode, Brent shares his journey and we look at how your agency can adapt and grow in 2021.
[03:55] Adaptability, Specialisation, and Authority
In times of global challenge, the only way for agencies to thrive and grow is by adapting (and listening to your clients), specialising, and building authority. Specialise by finding your niche - the more specific, the better, then broaden out over time. To build authority and awareness you should focus on growing your list of subscribers - so when clients are ready to buy, they reach out because you have stayed in touch and continued to provide value.
[07:41] The fear of going niche
Niching is the best way of separating yourself from the crowd and winning more business. Generalised agencies tend to differentiate by pricing (being cheaper than the competition) and overpromising. This is not a sustainable strategy.
[13:30] Stay Focused
It's easy to get distracted by new ways to bring in revenue. These 'shiny new objects' will be a distraction from your core services, and if you are not careful you will end up losing income. So get clear on who you are and what you offer and stay focused!
[21:17] The Yes Mentality
Just because you can do it does not mean you should do it. Think of your business as a system. This system can only continue to run well if it is not interrupted by adding in new services that don't fit in your agency and you don't have a system for. It's always best to refer these clients elsewhere rather than to make a mistake that may later cost you the client and lost revenue.
[29:27] Getting agency owners to let go
We often find agency owners continue to want to have their hand in every project or be in the know of every detail, but this is not possible if you're going to continue to grow. The only way to let go is by hiring all-star A-players who can do the task better than you!
[34:05] Trends in 2021
The digital ecosystem is here to stay. Post pandemic companies are looking to shift and adapt, and with everything going digital, those who were resisting it before now have no choice but to evolve and grow ….or fail.

American celebrities storm Washington DC for Biden-Harris inauguration
After years of avoiding outgoing United States President, Donald Trump, American singers and celebrities have congregated in Washington DC ahead of the inauguration of President-elect, Joe Biden and Vice President-elect, Kamala Harris, on Wednesday.
Amidst security concerns which seem to have overshadowed the celebratory mood on Inauguration Day 2021, the swearing-in of Biden and Harris is expected to still bring up a star-studded spectacle as the likes of Jennifer Lopez, Justin Timberlake, Lady Gaga, Garth Brooks, Tom Hanks, Eva Longoria, Bruce Springsteen, John Legend, and a host of other stars who will add spice to the most talked about event in the world.
The two-and-half-hour virtual program which kicks off at 10:00 a.m. will be streamed on bideninaugural.org/youth, the inauguration's YouTube channel, and other platforms supported by Nickelodeon, Discovery Education, Amazon Prime Video, PBS NewsHour and various ABC station apps.
Beyond the oaths of office and inaugural addresses, the official swearing-in of Biden and Harris will welcome a glitz of performances to welcome the new administration.
Here is a rundown of the stars to expect at the Biden-Harris inauguration:
Jennifer Lopez
While details of her performance have not been released, expect "Jenny from the Block" to get loud about her support for the incoming administration. Expect some heat, but perhaps a little less than she showed off in her Super Bowl 2020 halftime show alongside Shakira.
Lady Gaga
The multiple Grammy winner will perform the national anthem, a feat she previously brought to the 2016 Super Bowl. It could be a great start in 2021 for Gaga who had a star-spangled year in 2020 with the critically-acclaimed album "Chromatica," released in May, and the dance single "Rain on Me," a celebratory collab with Ariana Grande.
Tom Hanks
64-year-old Hanks is the host of the event. The "News of the World" star and two-time Oscar winner is staging a comeback to the social scene after testing positive for COVID-19 early last year.
The "America's Dad" actor has been a staunch critic of the Trump administration and a strong supporter of Biden, so anchoring the event is just honour for him and his wife, Rita Wilson.
Bruce Springsteen
The "Born in the USA" legend took a much-needed nostalgia trip with his fall 2020 album, "Letter to You," which was filled with a sense of loss and longing, but also comfort for a soul-crushing 2020vm ravaged by the COVID-19 Pandemic.
Justin Timberlake
It makes sense for Biden's people to sign up Timberlake, who is clearly a fan, with the "SexyBack" singer surprising a group of campaign volunteers during a Zoom call before Election Day.
RELATED: US States beef up security against possible violence ahead of Biden's inauguration
During the sessions he called Kamala Harris "the coolest human on Earth" and saluted the shocked volunteers.
Tyler Hubbard and Tim McGraw
The Florida Georgia Line band member, Tyler and three-time Grammy winner McGraw, are scheduled to perform their new song "Undivided" for inauguration viewers.
Black Pumas
The soul group was nominated for Record of the Year, Album of the Year and Best American Roots Performance for the 2021 Grammy Awards, which were rescheduled and will now air on March 14 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
The "Hamilton" and "In the Heights" creator will be celebrating the inauguration when he recites "a classic work" during the program.
Jon Bon Jovi
The 58-year-old rocker's band released its 15th studio album last fall, aptly titled "2020."
In an interview with The Post, Bon Jovi, said: "I really realized the title had a much deeper meaning … and I was bearing witness to history."
And being on the roll call is his way of witnessing history being made.
Ant Clemons
Clemons, 26, is surely happy to be in the inaugural lineup: His 2020 debut record, "Happy 2 Be Here," was nominated for Best R&B Album for the upcoming Grammys.
Foo Fighters
No word on what the group will perform, but it us hopes it will be a version of the song frontman Dave Grohl penned with a 10-year-old UK fan who challenged him to a drum battle last summer.
Demi Lovato
The 28-year-old singer's appearance is a timely one: She tweeted that her heart was "broken" and she was "in the studio working on something special" following the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
In October 2020, during the run-up to the presidential election, she released a political track titled "Commander in Chief."
Kerry Washington and Eva Longoria
Washington ("Scandal") and Longoria ("Desperate Housewives") "will introduce segments throughout the night ranging from stories of young people making a difference in their communities to musical performances," according to an inaugural committee press release.
Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
The 7-foot-2 NBA Hall of Famer, 73, is the founder and chairman of Skyhook Foundation, which aims to bring STEM curriculum to underserved communities. He was awarded a Presidential Medal of Freedom by then-President Barack Obama in 2016.
José Andrés
The 51-year-old founder of World Central Kitchen has worked with his WCK team to serve meals to National Guard troops and others helping to secure the Capitol for the inauguration.
Dolores Huerta
Labor leader Huerta, 90, was co-founder — along with Cesar Chavez — of the National Farmworkers Association (later known as the United Farm Workers). The 2012 Presidential Medal of Freedom honoree coined the Spanish phrase "Sí se puede" — which translates to "Yes, we can" and was co-opted by ex- President Obama for his campaigns.
Kim Ng
A career Major League Baseball worker, the 52-year-old general manager of the Miami Marlins is the first woman to serve in that position for an MLB team.
Garth Brooks
The country music singer, a Republican, will again cross party lines to bring some twang to the presidential transition.
"This is a great day in our household," Brooks said in announcing his participation on Monday. "In our household, this is not a political statement; this is a statement of unity."
The "Friends in Low Places" singer, 58, performed at Obama's inauguration in 2009.
Keke Palmer
The 27-year-old "Hustlers" actress and "Good Morning America" alumna will co-host the program, which also will feature incoming first lady Dr. Jill Biden and Kamala Harris' spouse, second gentleman Doug Emhoff. Palmer already has solid experience hosting a virtual event, having run the festivities at the coronavirus-hobbled VMAs 2020 last August.
Amanda Gorman
The 22-year-old Gorman, who was named America's first Youth Poet Laureate in 2017, recently tweeted that she is both "honored" and "excited" to give a reading during the program.
Tony Goldwyn
He's not the president, but he played one on TV. The 60-year-old "Scandal" alumni will host the event following the swearing-in.
Jon Stewart
The 58-year-old comedian, former "Daily Show" anchor and champion of the 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund will help lead the virtual parade.
New Radicals
The one-hit wonders will reunite after more than two decades apart to perform their 1998 ear-worm hit, "You Get What You Give."
The song holds a special place for Joe Biden, who has said it was his late son Beau's "theme song" during his battle with brain cancer. Beau died of glioblastoma in 2015.
DJ Cassidy
Music man Cassidy, 39, will bring his popular Twitch series "Pass the Mic" to the inaugural masses with some help from Earth Wind & Fire, Nile Rodgers, Kathy Sledge (of Sister Sledge fame), the Trans Chorus of Los Angeles, the Washington Chorus and the Triumph Baptist Church Choir.
Cassidy also will make a second inaugural appearance — along with Ozuna and Luis Fonsi — during the "Celebrating America" prime-time special Wednesday night.
Andra Day
The 36-year-old "Rise Up" singer will be accompanied by 9-year-old figure skater Kaitlyn Saunders as she performs her Grammy-nominated 2015 song.
Nathan Apodaca
The skateboarding "Ocean Spray Guy" took TikTok by storm with his viral lip-sync to Fleetwood Mac's "Dreams." Who knows what he'll do, but we're sure it will be pretty chill.
Josh Groban
Fans will have a chance to again be lifted up by the 39-year-old singer, who had to postpone a June 2020 Radio City Musical Hall concert due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Patti LaBelle
The 76-year-old singer could bring some new attitude to church-going masses following her lively, much-hyped Verzuz face-off with BFF Gladys Knight last September.
The Clark Sisters
The two-time Grammy-winning gospel group performed a moving version of "Is My Living in Vain?" at the 2018 funeral for R&B legend Aretha Franklin.

New Delhi [India], May 27 (ANI): India's first and only private sector Rail producer, Jindal Steel & Power (JSP) on Friday said it had decided to install India's first Rail Wheelset manufacturing plant at its Raigarh facility in Chhattisgarh.
JSP has collaborated with Hungary-based GIFLO Steel for this project. The two firms signed an MoU for the project at 'India Hungary Business Forum' organised by the Embassy of Hungary along with FICCI in the national capital on 27th May 2022.
The plant will have an initial capacity of 25,000 Wheelsets per year. Jindal Steel will also install a Rail forging unit for Asymmetric Rails which are used in Rail track switches, especially for high-speed train tracks.
"Rail Wheelset manufacturing plant will help Indian Railways to speed up the modernisation of its Rail infrastructure by making available world-class rail wheels to realise the vision of Gati Shakti by the Government of India," V R Sharma, Managing Director of Jindal Steel, said in a statement.
"Having its competence and understanding of the nuances of rail rolling, JSP is working to meet our country's demand for various grades of Rails while maintaining international quality and safety standards. Our Rail mill in Raigarh has been supplying superior grades of rails to various Metro and Indian Railway projects under execution," Sharma added.
JSPL is the only producer of Head Hardened Rail grades 1080 HH & 1175HT for a heavy axle load of more than 25 Ton & high-speed application in the country. JSPL also produces Rails in grades R 260 and 880 for 60E1, ZU 1-60 & 60E1A1 profiles. JSPL has also supplied R350 HT Grade Rails for its overseas customers. (ANI)

The legal business form of the LLC, or Limited Liability Company, offers the benefits of several other traditional business forms. A LLC has the benefits of a corporation's limited liability, but avoids double taxation like a partnership or sole proprietorship. Like a corporation, the LLC can also have an unlimited amount of shareholders, called members. Unlike a corporation however, if a member dies, files for bankruptcy, or otherwise leaves the LLC, the company is dissolved. Business forms with limited liability have existed for hundreds of years, but the modern LLC became more popular in Illinois since the legislature enacted laws authorizing its formation.
Can My Business Be Formed as an LLC?
Businesses in Illinois can organize using whatever form they choose. The office of the Secretary of State is the organization that accepts filings by those who want to open LLC's. However, fees are generally required to form a LLC. The actions of LLC's as well as the costs for operating them are determined by Illinois law. These laws should certainly help you decide whether to organize as an LLC. The business structure that is appropriate for your business may take some effort to find, but finding the right business form can reward you with increased profitability.
Can I Change the Form of My Business to an LLC?
Changing business forms in Hickory Hills can be done if a company's situation meets particular conditions. Conversion to a LLC is possible if Illinois law permits it in your situation.
How Can an Attorney Help?
Attorneys experienced in Illinois business law can give you valuable input on whether your business would be more profitable as a LLC.

I know that you all may be falling asleep by this point in the lessons, but WAKE UP IT'S TIME FOR THE BEAUTIFUL, FANTASTIC, ONE AND ONLY WAVE EQUATION! The wave equation is extremely important in a wide variety of contexts not limited to optics, such as in the classical wave on a string, or Schrodinger's equation in quantum mechanics. In the case of these lessons, though, the wave equation has important implications in almost every aspect of calculation in optics, as it gives us the form of the waves that we are working with as the solution. Now that everyone understands its importance, let's derive it!
Considering first the greatly simplified case of a homogeneous, isotropic, nonconducting, source free, dielectric medium, Maxwell's equations reduce to:
\begin{equation} \nabla \cdot E = 0 \end{equation}
\begin{equation} \nabla \times E = -\frac{\partial{B}}{\partial{t}} \label{maxwell}\end{equation}
\begin{equation} \nabla \cdot B = 0 \end{equation}
\begin{equation} \nabla \times B = \epsilon\mu\frac{\partial{E}}{\partial{t}} \end{equation}
Then, to motivate the next step, we will consider that we would like to be working with only the electric field to make our analyses much simpler. In order to do that, we would like to eliminate B in Equation \eqref{maxwell} by taking the curl of both sides. In this case, we would have:
\begin{align} \nabla \times (\nabla \times E) & = \nabla \times (-\frac{\partial{B}}{\partial{t}})\\ & = -\frac{\partial}{\partial{t}}(\nabla \times B) \\ & = -\epsilon\mu\frac{\partial^2E}{\partial{t}^2} \label{wave_eq}\end{align}
where Equation \eqref{wave_eq} is the most general form of the wave equation, and this is the form most commonly used when dealing with anisotropic media and near-field optics. However, we can use the vector identity for $\nabla \times \nabla$ in order to rewrite the wave equation in terms of scalar wave equations for each vector component of E. The wave equation is then given as:
\begin{equation} \nabla^2E = \mu\epsilon\frac{\partial^2E}{\partial{t}^2} \label{far_field_waveeq}\end{equation}
We can also just as easily find the wave equation for the magnetic field by eliminating "E" in the above equations. The magnetic field wave equation is given as:
\begin{equation} \nabla^2H = \mu\epsilon\frac{\partial^2H}{\partial{t}^2} \end{equation}
It it usually sufficient to start with the electric field representation of the wave equation; however some select circumstances may be more disposed to using the magnetic field representation.
It is important to keep in mind that the Laplacian operator acts on scalar fields, meaning that the wave equation is really three separate equations for x, y, z equations (or whatever your chosen coordinates are, although a change of coordinates would require a change to the wave equation itself).
Finally, a question you may have been asking yourself is if we can derive the speed of light, or is the speed of light just a measured quantity? It turns out we can actually derive the speed of light using our knowledge of the general form of the wave equation. The general form of the wave equation (applicable to any application) is given as:
\begin{equation} \nabla^2f(r,t) = \frac{1}{v^2}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial{t}^2}f(r,t) \end{equation}
where "$v$" is the phase velocity of the wave. Thus, in our present case, the speed of the electromagnetic wave (i.e. of light) would be given as:
\begin{align} v & = \frac{1}{\mu\epsilon} \\ & = \frac{1}{\mu_0\epsilon_0} \\ & = 2.9979 \times 10^8 m/s\end{align}
where we have made the approximation that $\mu_r$ in $\mu = \mu_r\mu_0$ is equal to 1 as well as $\epsilon_r$ in $\epsilon = \epsilon_r\epsilon_0$, and we have taken $\mu_0 = 1.256 \times 10^{-6} H/m$ and $\epsilon_0 = 8.854 \times 10^{-12} F/m$.
Given the above examples for other places where the wave equation crops up, you may have already guess the solution to the wave equation. However, the first time I saw the wave equation I certainly did not know the form of the solution completely, so I will write out the solution explicitly here. The electric field that would solve Equation \eqref{far_field_waveeq} is the simple harmonic plane wave, given as:
\begin{equation} E(r,t) = E_0cos(\omega{t}-k\cdot{r}) \end{equation}
where $k$ is the wave vector and is commonly given as either $|k| = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$ or $|k| = \frac{n\omega}{c}$. Now, it is useful to pause here and note that plane waves are unphysical solutions, because as written they can propagate to infinity unaffected. In order to make them physical, some accounting for amplitude or phase change/damping must be included in the equation, which we will get to in short order. In the meantime, the reason you will find plane waves listed and used everywhere in order to represent the propagating EM-wave is because they are still very useful! Here's are the reasons why you should trust me and still use them:
- When used to describe physical situations such as the center of a well-collimated laser beam, the plane wave approximation is actually quite accurate. This is because of their enhanced coherence such that they can propagate for many Rayleigh ranges (we will explain what this is in a few sections) with negligible distortion such that they essentially go to infinity.
- The plane wave expansion is a common technique to solve Maxwell's Equations, and we will be doing this ourselves within this section (look at the section on the Helmholtz equation!). In particular, they are useful in situations with periodic media, such as photonic crystals.
Now, to make our lives easier, we will use the exponential form of the plane wave for the rest of this section, and really the rest of our dealings in optics. The exponential form of the plane wave is given as:
\begin{equation} E(r,t) = E_0e^{i(\omega{t}-k\cdot{r})} \end{equation}
where, since the electric field is a real quantity, we then just take the real part of this field.
Now, we can prove that the exponential form is a viable solution to the wave equation (Equation \eqref{far_field_waveeq}) by plugging in the solution as follows:
\begin{align} \nabla^2{E} & = E_0\nabla^2e^{i(\omega{t} – k\cdot{r})} \\ & = -k^2E_0e^{i(\omega{t}-k\cdot{r})} \\ & = -k^2E \end{align}
\begin{equation} \mu\epsilon\frac{\partial^2E}{\partial{t^2}} = -\omega^2\mu\epsilon{E} \end{equation}
In order to make these two sides equal, then, we have that
\begin{align} k^2 & = \omega^2\mu\epsilon \\ & = \frac{\omega^2n^2}{c^2}\end{align}
where we have used the fact that $\mu\epsilon = \frac{n^2}{c^2}$ (found further up on this page). Thus, the exponential solution does solve the wave equation!
Another important result that we can obtain from our definition of the electric field comes when we further analyze it using Maxwell's equations. According to our original assumption of a source-free medium, the divergence of the electric field should be zero. As such, we have:
\begin{align} \nabla\cdot{E} & = 0 \\ & = \nabla\cdot[E_0e^{i(\omega{t}-k\cdot{r})}] \\ & = -ik \cdot E_0e^{i(\omega{t}-k\cdot{r})} \end{align}
which means that $k \cdot E_0 = 0$. Knowing that the dot product tells "how much of" two vectors overlap, since this dot product is zero, then this means that "$k$" and "$E$" do not overlap at all; in fact they are transverse to one another! The same result would occur for the magnetic field. Now the question is, how do the electric and magnetic field relate with respect to the $k$-vector, the direction of propagation? Can we find a right-handed orthogonal set? The answer is, as you might anticipate, oh you betcha! But let's prove it like the good scientists we are using Maxwell's Equations first:
\begin{equation} \nabla \times E = -\frac{\partial{B}}{\partial{t}} \end{equation}
\begin{equation} \nabla \times E_0e^{i(\omega{t}-k\cdot{r})} = -\frac{B_0e^(i(\omega{t}-k\cdot{r})}{\partial{t}} \end{equation}
\begin{equation} -ik\times E = -i\omega{B} \label{keb_orth}\end{equation}
Thus, we have the important result that $k\times{E} = \omega{B}$, which means that $B$ is indeed orthogonal to $k$ and $E$, giving us the proof for our incredible intuition that $k$, $E$, and $B$ form a right-handed orthogonal set. A few final considerations, note that $E$ and $B$ are in phase, since there are no multiplied exponentials that would make them out of phase. Also note that the magnitudes of the field are related by a simple constant value, namely $n/c$ (after a few simple steps of algebra with Equation \eqref{keb_orth}). Thus, the choice of $E$ or $B$ for representation of the propagating light wave truly is arbitrary, and you can easily convert from one to another using this relationship!

Daytrip tip 1 Plakias
This is one of my absolute favourites. A mix of scenic views, history and activity. The scenic views are unbelievably stunning, the plateaus serene, historic Argyroupoli situated in lush green surroundings, the Imbros Gorge breath taking and the Venetian Castle and wide beach at Frangokastello something you don't want to miss.
Argyroupoli, Kalikratis, the Imbros Gorge and Frangokastello can be visited with tour operators from Plakias.
By car I suggest the following route:
Part 1
Plakias - Argyroupoli
You drive out of Plakias to the east and take the exit to Myrthios. From Myrthios you drive via the mountain villages of Kali Sikia, Mountros, Roustika and Zouridi to Argyroupoli. The scenery is amazing during this drive, winding through the hills with mountains as a backdrop. Go into the town first and drive back out the same way and take the left turn to the springs.
Watch out when you are in Zouridi because the left turn to Argyroupoli is only signposted when you come from the other side!
This village was built on the remains of the former capital of a region called Lappa. There are many Roman remains and some of the Venetian Mansions are still inhabited. There is a very nice short walk around over cobblestones at the old upper part of the village with a mixture of new and old architecture, an old façade of a Venetian Mansion with the words "Omnia Mundi Fumus est Umbra (Everything in the world is smoke and shadow), 2 churches and remains of an old Roman mosaic floor, which used to be a bathhouse. The view over Argyroupoli and surroundings is beautiful if you walk to the fence across from the mosaic floor. Park your car at the clocktower, in front of the church and walk towards the gate. See the map for the walk.
Springs of Argyroupoli
In beautiful, lush green surroundings the waterfalls are all around you. You can have a walk around or have a drink or food in one of the tavernas, in between old plane trees and banana plants.
Part 2
Argyroupoli - Kallikratis
You drive away from the springs continuing the road you were on and turn left over the bridge you pass. It's another beautiful drive through very green surroundings. After the village of Asi Gonia the road winds itself up the mountain through many hair-pin turns, the views getting more impressive with every turn. There is a perfect spot where you can park off the road to enjoy these fabulous views. Once your on the top you literally drive over the mountains to Kalikratis Plateau. Take the left turn, instead of going straight to the village to visit the unique herb shop. After the visit drive back and turn left to the village, drive through and your on your way again.
Kalikratis Plateau
The Kalikratis Plateau is an off the beaten path destination at 700 meters above sea level, although it is popular with hikers and cyclists. The village of Kalikratis only has a few residents left, mainly goat herders who leave in the winter months because of the cold and the snow. The Kalikratis Gorge has a 4km path, southwest of the village which leads to the village of Patsianos. There are a few tavernas and a unique herb shop south of the village, where you can have a drink, buy herbs or honey from the mountains and enjoy the serenity of this plateau.
Part 3
Kalikratis Plateau - Askyfou Plateau/Imbros Gorge
You drive through more amazing landscapes with views towards the Lefka Ori (White Mountains). You follow the signs for Chania while the road winds itself towards a t-section where you can either make a short d-tour to the right and enjoy the views over Askyfou Plateau or go straight to the village of Imbros by turning left. When you drive into Imbros village you can park your car on a big parking right next to a taverna on your left. From here you can walk the beautiful Imbros Gorge. You can share a taxi back to your car.
Askyfou Plateau
This beautiful plateau is situated just north of Imbros, flanked by the Lefka Ori (White Mountains). There is a small fortress on top of a hill on the north side of the plateau. In the village you will find the war museum of Georgios Hatzidakis.
Imbros Gorge
This gorge is relatively easy to walk, also with children. The gorge is 8km long and will take you around 2.5 hours. At the smallest part it is only 1.60 meters wide! The entrance is a short walk from the big parking area next to a taverna in the village of Imbros. The entrance fee is 2,00 (2019).
When you reach the end there is small taverna from where you can take a (shared) taxi for around 5,00 euro a person (2019) back to your car in 15 minutes.
Part 4
Imbros - Frangokastello
You zigzag down to the coast, with stunning views to the flat land below, and follow the signs for Frangokastello.
The Venetian Castle and adjoining wide beach have been popular by many a painter and writer, both for the scenery as for the serenity. Nowadays the beach can get busy in the summer months. The turquoise shallow water is ideal for families.
The castle was build in 1371 and is being renovated on the inside (2019). You can climb up one of the towers of the castle for an entrance fee of 2,00 (2019). There is a legend that in May the ghosts of slain Greek soldiers (1828 in a battle with the Ottoman Turks) appear as shadowy spirits, going towards the castle in the early morning. The Cretans call them Drosoulites ("dew men").
There also some nice sand dunes behind the beach on the east side.
Part 5
Frangokastello - Plakias
The last part of this daytrip tip leads you along the beautiful south coast of Crete back to Plakias.

I am currently a VP in IB and thinking of moving into MC (too many acronyms!) One possibility will be advisory Risk Mgt services within the big 4 audit firms (KPMG, Deloitte, PWC, E&Y). I have over 10 years experience in Risk Mgt, Trading and Prj Mgt. I have good academics too (MBA and 1st class hons). I have spoken to a number of recruiters, but they all seem to say that any basic over GBP80k (with bonuses of circa 10-20%) mean these firms expect you to have contacts in order to generate new deals. Indeed, with this remuneration and above, the emphasis would be on such selling, rather than delivery of other client services. Is this view correct? It strikes me as quite low, if they expect experienced IB'ers to make the move over to MC.... Thanks in advance.
anon 1. You are making a mistake in your reasoning.
Risk management in the Audit practice of the Big 4 is NOT management consulting - it is financial services. In financial services, the salary youmentioned is correct - as the industry does not pay a lot.
If you want to make serious cash - you must go into the Consulting divisions of the big 4, or the top strategy firms (Mck, Bain, BCG etc)
In these firms you can earn up to 250k plus bonus before making partner - where salaries can go up to several million.
You should look at risk within corporate finance at mckinsey, bcg, EY BAS - NOT within their audit practices.
Let me know if this makes any sense.
PS. your recruiters are rubbish if they are sending you to audit. Were you in a tier 1 IB?
Anon1 - Would you be interested in PA Consulting? Take a look at our work via our website. If you are interested get back to me on this forum and I shall try to touch base. We are heavily focused on risk mgt and we're really growing our practise.
Thankyou George and PA'er for your responses.
George - I currently work for a v.large US tier 1, though have also worked at 'lesser' banks. I was under the impression the views did relate to the consulting divisions of the 4 firms I mentioned, rather than their audit practices. So to confirm, in your view, the remuneration is therefore incorrect for these divisions?
I agree it is different wrt the strategy firms you mentioned, and even some of the others such as Bearing Point, M&A Partners etc too. That was why I thought it odd about E&Y, KPMG, PWC & Deloittes.
PA'er - Thanks, I'll have a look at the website. If you could also kindly explain where PA fits between the other firms mentioned, that'd be most helpful too? I'm afraid I thought they were a technology consultancy.... sorry if I have this wrong.
KPMG and PWC dont do ( seriously ) consulting. EY BAS ( business advisory services) and Deloitte are serioous and in the game.
MC is different from IB. It generally follows:
analysts and consultants : the 'doers'
managers and senior managers: 'the managers'
directors and partners: 'the sellers'
... so yes at higher ends of the ladder your pay is commenusrate with how much you sell.
I suggest you get in touch with EY BAS - they are recruiting heavily now and pay above market for best candidates
Anon1 - We work across a wide spectrum of industries namely energy( we bought hagler bailey energy consultancy in the states), Strategy, Life Scienes, IT, Financial Services and so on. In FS we are focusing primarily on middle to back office engagements as these are our strengths. However we have and do incooperate high level strategy. Infact most of our projects initial require strategy in order for us to implement
Do you think consulting pay ever catches up with IB's? For example, i'm starting on about £32k in MC but a friend in IB is starting on £60k (UBS).. But if you make partner at Deloitte you get about £700k which seems to start to compare with pay in IB after roughly same number of years?
Dear PAer ,could you please look at my thread under the number 18621 -desperate wife trying to understand her It husband please,and try to help me if you can.PLEASE
Some random thoughts (it's almost 11pm where I'm at, and I still haven't had my daily ration of Remy XO):
- IB VP = MC Sr. Associate or Manager. IB Director = MC Principal. IB Managing Director = MC Partner.
- 80k (US$ or GBP) is extremely low for someone who is expected to generate revenue. Anyway, since only MC Partners are expected to generate revenue, I think Anon1 was fed wrong info by his recruiter, as he is not yet Partner caliber.
- As George said, Risk Mgt is not MC. Maybe the pay scales are lower for Risk Mgt?
- IB VPs at top tier firms on average (there are always exceptions) make ~$300k in the US. A comparable MC Sr. Assoc or Manager at a top-tier strat house would make ~$140-180k max.
- If you do get hired as a MC Principal, you can indeed make $200-300k.
- On average, MC Partners at top-tier strat houses get paid $500k base, plus another $500k to $1mm bonus depending on how much business they bring in. So even high-flying MC Partners are hard pressed to make over $3-5mm. High-flying IB MDs, on the other hand, have practically no limit to their incomes.
- Someone else would have to share insight on Big 4 pay scales.

Fillers For Under Eye Bags and Tear trough
Are all under-eye bags and deformities the same?
There is some confusion about the definitions of under-eye and tear trough problems according to the reason, anatomical attributes, and appearance.
Anatomy for the under-eye deformities
Under the eye, issues can be divided into nasojugal, tear trough, and palbebromalar deformities. These deformities differ according to anatomical features. Some of the causes are rupture or atrophy of the fat under the eyes, malar bone resorption, and oculi orbicularis muscle contraction. Fillers are gaining an excellent reputation for treating most under-eye issues due to their high convenience profile for volume loss correction compared with fat injection. Good experience in carefully choosing the filler and injection technique is essential for good correction results for under-eye bags and tear trough hollowness.
Are fillers the ultimate treatment under eye bags and deformities?
Very soft tissues filler (Juvederm Volbella and Restylane Refyne) are an excellent choice in some cases, such as mild nasojugal indentation to avoid bulging or visible irregularities, for which we can use needle injection. For deeper indentation and deformity, a thicker filler (Juvederm Volift and Restylane Defyne) can be used, taking into concentering using a thicker cannula to assure deep planes injection and help to cut the fiber ligaments. Firm fillers (Juvederm Voluma and Restylane Volume) can be used for significant volume loss using a thicker cannula.
It is important to point out that the only officially approved fillers for tear trough areas are the very soft ones; Juvederm Volbella and Restylane Refyne. Some other deformities, such as advanced grades of infraorbital fat rupture, may need surgical intervention as it causes less beading and irregularity, especially in the thin skin and subcutaneous tissue around this region. The enzyme hyaluronidase can remove all HA filler.
Who are the main suppliers for HA fillers in Edmonton?
Allergan, the supplier for Juvederm, and Galderma for Restylane are the main two suppliers for HA fillers in the Albany cosmetic and laser center in Edmonton.
Fillers injection technique of choice for under eyes bags
What techniques are available for filler injections
There are two main techniques for injection the filler
- Sharp needle
- Blunt Cannula
each of them has its advantages and disadvantages.
Which technique to choose for under-eye corrections?
The questions that most patients and even injectors ask are, which is better, needles or blunt cannula for fillers injection? Through my practice, I learned that you get better results with a cannula in general, especially when fillers are injected into deep fat layers and help release the fiber ligaments. Needles are still being used for injection into a subdermal area in areas with less vascularity and safer injection locations. This technique usually has better results in making fine contours.
Cannula fillers' injection technique is safer associated with significantly less capillary injury and bruising. It is important to choose a safe entry point for the cannula. A 20 mm below lateral canthus line for the volume deficiency is considered an ideal injection entry point. We usually start with the plane then move to the more superficial planes to even out the surface. We can combine both cannula and needles techniques. The fillers should be placed slightly under the depressed part of the tear trough or eye bag to help push the prolapsed portion from under to work as a scaffold.
What is the cost of fillers for under-eye bags and tear trough deformities?
The cost of one 1 CC fillers syringe is between 500 to 600. The number of fillers syringes depends on the severity of the problem and anatomical correction needed. On average, the cost would be between 1200 to 3600.
Are the results of fillers guaranteed for under-eye bags?
There is no guarantee for any cosmetic procedures, and every procedure may have some risk associated with it. However, in the previous paragraphs, we discussed the choice of fillers type and techniques is very important to have significant results and corrections.
At Albany Cosmetic and Laser center in Edmonton, we have long experience and excellent results with tattoo removal, facelift, lip filler, body shaping, and under-eye bags and deformities.

Warnings about radiation exposure from cell phones have been issued by the American Academy of Pediatrics (see 1, 2, 3), World Health Organization, and many other doctors and scientists. It's not just about increased cancer risk either (see 1, 2, 3. 4).
Last year in the U.S, Fegan Scott law firm filed class action lawsuits after an investigation by the Chicago Tribune revealed that 11 smartphone models exceeded federal RF Radiation levels. In France, the "Phonegate" folks have also been investigating and reporting high mobile phone radiation levels for a few years now. Recently, they reported about this problem with the Razer Phone 2 and now they've reported 2 more models.
From Phonegate:
CELLPHONES FRANCE: Dear supporters,Two new smartphones have just been sanctioned for exceeding the SAR level: the Xiaomi Redmi 7 and the Gigaset plus. This is a new advance in our alert action!
However, we have been waiting since last October for the Government to deliver on its promise to update the excessive SAR levels of several hundred mobile phone models. We demand that the commitments made following the recommendations of the French National Health Agency (ANSES) be fulfilled.
The Covid19 crisis does not justify such a delay. The Phonegate scandal is also a real health emergency!
See here the list of the 23 smartphones sanctioned to date:
See also the list of hundreds of models awaiting government intervention :
Please share widely around you until we get the same thing all over Europe and internationally. Together we can do it!
The Phonegate Alert team
Despite ALL of this – telecom companies continue to advertise cell phones and other wireless devices being used in ways that they warn against in their product manuals. No wonder they've been warning shareholders that they may eventually be held liable for harm from their products and infrastructure.

ZEISS Precision lenses with i.Scription® Technology
The outcome is the key
i.Profiler®plus does not only provide you a better prescription, it gives you access to an optimised individualised lens solution with i.Scription technology for improved colour and contrast vision as well as improved night vision. i.Scription involves an innovative patented algorithm which combines the subjective refraction values with the i.Profiler plus ocular wavefront aberrometry data to calculate an individualised prescription to 1/100th of a dioptre - especially for lower light situations.
With customised i.Scription® lenses, your patients benefit from:
Better night/ low-light vision:
Looking directly at a light source at night, such as car headlights, results in glare and halo effects. i.Scription technology reduces image noise.
Better visual contrast:
Seeing contrast, such as white letters on a black background, is especially challenging for the eyes. i.Scription technology sharpens contrast.
Better colour vision:
i.Scription technology adds more brilliance to life and lets lens wearers see colours as they really are: bright and more intense.
i.Profiler plus enables i.Scription technology through precise, automated measurement of your patient´s visual profile.
Using Wavefront technology
A harmless beam of light
i.Scription technology
the i.Profilerplus generates a detailed visual profile of both eyes in just 60 seconds.
enters the eye to measure how light passes through it to map higher order aberrations with up to 1500 sample points, which are responsible for decreased performance in night vision. This process will take place in a few seconds while your patient is focusing on the image of the hot air balloon presented by the i.Profilerplus.
involves an innovative, patented algorithm which combines the subjective refraction values with the i.Profilerplus ocular wavefront aberrometry data to calculate an individualised prescription to 1/100th of a dioptre – incorporated in a ZEISS lens with i.Scription technology.
Why is i.Scription technology particularly beneficial in low light conditions?
Conventional manifest refraction is performed in well illuminated rooms, leading to prescription values that work well in daylight situations. However, as the pupil expands in low light situations, the peripheral aberrations of the eye can lead to refractive shifts that make the conventional prescription no longer valid. i.Scription® technology is able to combine the information about peripheral aberrations provided by i.Profiler® plus together with manifest refraction, resulting in an optimised prescription to provide better day and night vision.

Ex-senior living employee sentenced for thefts
A former office manager at a senior living facility in Wayne County was sentenced Thursday for stealing money from three residents.
Rebecca Russell, 37, of Newark was sentenced to six months in the Wayne County jail and five years of probation. She also must pay back the money stolen, and orders of protection were issued in favor of the three victims.
The sentencing was announced by the Office of Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman.
Russell, office manager at the Armstrong Senior Living Center in Newark, was accused of stealing $11,828 between Jan. 28, 2013 and Nov. 4, 2013.
According to the attorney general, in one instance Russell failed to deposit money sent to a resident by family members and used it for herself. In another case, Russell stole a check from a resident, filled out the check in her own name, and used the forged check to steal that resident's money. In a third case, Russell used checks belonging to another resident to illegally get money.
Russell previously pleaded guilty to one count of felony second-degree criminal possession of a forged instrument and two counts of misdemeanor petit larceny.

Kevin Hart and Rich Paul to turn Bishop Sycamore saga into documentary series
Bishop Sycamore hasn't made its last appearance on TV.
After the embattled football team lost 58-0 to IMG Academy on ESPN on Sunday and subsequently ignited a national conversation about its legitimacy, Kevin Hart and Rich Paul are going to turn the story into a documentary series.
According to Deadline, Hart and Paul have secured interviews with current and former players and coaches and will build on Complex's reporting on the story to paint a picture of how the Bishop Sycamore saga unfolded.
"As soon as I started following this story, I was immediately drawn to it and knew it was something that myself and my team at HartBeat had to dive into. HBP thrives in the doc-series space," Hart told Deadline. "We understand how to break down stories and capture the most interesting and honest moments in a narrative. We know this con comes with a robust backstory and cannot wait to share it with the world."
Bishop Sycamore football:Bishop Sycamore's opponents back out, but team not going away quietly
The series is still in the early stages of development. Hart and Paul reportedly are currently seeking a showrunner and editors, and the series does not yet have a broadcaster. There are also plans to create a scripted version of the story in addition to the documentary.
Bishop Sycamore material
There's no shortage of material for Hart and Paul to use in the documentary. Everything from Bishop Sycamore's status as an educational institution to the age of the players in the program has been called into question, and lawsuits continue to surround the team.
Most recently, the Canton hotel where Bishop Sycamore stayed for the IMG Academy game reported the team to the police for invalid checks, Former coach Roy Johnson has a bench warrant in Delaware County relating to an unpaid fine in a case from 2020, in which Johnson was originally charged with assault. Johnson pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of criminal mischief. A fine of $1,396.20, which includes court costs, was due Nov. 10 but was never paid.
And as Bishop Sycamore continues to practice and looks for opponents to play this season, it's clear that this story won't have a tidy ending.

who has not sent an email or filled out a questionaire for a player, I know my sons summer coach does it all the time. what's the difference?
What has happened to this Board????
I haven't filled out a questionnaire in the name of a player or relative, and I haven't sent an email for a player or relative that was purportedly signed by them or addressed from them.
If my opinion was requested by questionnaire or email, I have filled them out and signed them in my name or sent them from my email address, but that is a separate subject.
I am not naive enough to think no parents fill out stuff for their little dahlings. But refer back to Midlo's post for what I think about this
my son got a questionaire from an SEC school, it had two parts, one for the player and one that specifically asked the HS or Summer coach to fill out and mail back. My son and I sat at the table and he filled out his part, then he took the other part to his summer coach who is also a D1 coach and he filled out his part and sent both back to the school. He did what he was asked to do. I see nothing wrong with it.
Son responds to his own emails, he sometimes askes me what he should say depending on what they are asking. Again I see nothing wrong with that.
