NFTs are the new crypto wild west — artists and brands with big pockets are the only ones who can afford to fight back
Nikehas filed a lawsuit against StockXfor selling non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with its branding without prior permission.
- Lawsuits from big wigs like Nike are piling up in the
- The hope is that regulation will arm smaller artists, who have similarly defrauded, with ammunition to fight their own claims.
AdvertisementNike, one of the biggest footwear brands in the world, is suing sneaker exchange StockX for selling non-fungible tokens (NFTs) with its branding without permission. According to the ‘Just Do It’ brand, the sale by StockX — which saw over 500 NFTs fly off the shelves — was unauthorised.
Nike is far from being the only brand getting frustrated with its trademark being used to peddle digital assets.
Without regulation or any clear guidelines in the mix, cases like this aren’t uncommon. French fashion house Hermes is caught in a legal battle with Mason Rothschild over the sale of Hermes Birkin-inspired NFTs called MetaBirkins. Quentin Tarintino, the acclaimed Hollywood director, is caught in a tug-of-war with the producers at Miramax over NFTs based on the movie Pulp Fiction.
While the value of NFT sales are rising with the largest marketplace, OpenSea, locking in sales worth $3.5 billion in January — a new all-time-high — the lawsuits are piling up as well. The inflow of brands and institutional money flowing in is suddenly raising concerns that were otherwise looked over by the NFT industry. Both show no signs of slowing down with more big names expected to butt heads over the NFT gold rush.
The revolution with a loophole
The revolution on blockchain, which was meant to create a new era of ownership where things like copyright law may not even be needed, isn’t as seamless as expected when it comes to intellectual property and trademark laws.
But, that is far from the reality. Yes, putting something on the blockchain records a time-stamped transaction but it does nothing to verify where the item originally came from prior to being on the network.
To make things more complicated, NFTs — just like cryptocurrencies — are a global concept. However the rules that govern copyright and trademark issues vary from country to country. Many fear that without any legal parameters in place to regulate this emerging class of assets, not only is fraud inevitable, but it may also lead to smaller artists being snuffed out from the bigger guns.
As things stand, only players with big pockets can afford to claim their rights. Smaller artists, meanwhile, are left in the lurch with the most common retort being, “You should’ve jumped on the bandwagon earlier.” The only silver lining that seems to present itself is that the NFT craze is likely to be a boon for lawyers who are trying to navigate the boat for their clients.
Nike’s NFT lawsuit
In its lawsuit, Nike is seeking to ‘destroy’ those NFTs, stop their sale and promotion and compensation for the monetary damages from StockX.
StockX had minted the ‘Vault’ collection of NFTs in mid-January. While these NFTs themselves could be traded online, they’d also be tied to physical products, and the buyer could take possession of them on request.
AdvertisementA major portion of the Vault NFT collection by StockX consisted of Nike sneakers. The marketplace called them ‘investible digital assets’, in the context of select Nike shoes shooting up in price last year.
Hypothetically, speculators could buy NFTs of shoes that are in-demand, leave them in storage at StockX’s vault, and resell them later at a higher price for the buyer to take delivery directly. Unfortunately, the product names and photos will necessarily have to use Nike’s trademarks – an action unapproved by Nike, and is claimed to affect goodwill toward Nike.
Without Nike’s authorization or approval, StockX is ‘minting’ NFTs that prominently use Nike’s trademarks, marketing those NFTs using Nike’s goodwill, and selling those NFTs at heavily inflated prices to unsuspecting consumers who believe or are likely to believe that those ‘investible digital assets’ (as StockX calls them) are, in fact, authorized by Nike when they are not.
The bigger issue is that StockX’s move clashes with Nike’s own NFT plans. The brand is releasing its ‘MNLTH’ NFTs yesterday as a free airdrop initially. These are made in collaboration with RTFKT, a digital art studio which it acquired in December. While Nike prefers not to sell through third-party online marketplaces, they do have a direct presence online, for example through Nikeland, authorised as a ‘customer experience’ facility on Roblox.
NFTs are the new crypto ‘wild west’
To be fair, in most cases, the person or company who already owns a physical item’s intellectual property is the one who makes a virtual version of it — that is, minting an NFT to gain from it — such as a painting, music, photo, meme, etc.
However, many artists have found others have turned their work into an NFT with getting any kind of permission or authorisation for the sale. Until now, most such artists, including William Shatner, have been small enough that suing such an unauthorised NFT creator in a US court would be a prohibitive expense. Twitter response to smaller artists boils down to, they should have gotten into the NFT game themselves first, before anyone else could imitate them.
AdvertisementAnnabelle Gauberti, lawyer specialising in creative industries told AFP that, “It's the wild west in terms of enforcement online. Even if lawsuits are successful, how do you go after the guy who has already bought the item or stop them being sold on secondary auctions?"
Copyright attorney Mike Dunford went so far as to say, “Copyright law is a disaster zone in this area.” Saying at least a few artists hate NFTs, New York publication Futurism notes the irony that, “much of the pushback against NFTs is coming from the artists that they were supposed to help.”
In the last 24 hours I have had to report 29 instances of my art getting stolen as NFTs. I am so very tired of this… https://t.co/zSvnBpqKcL— RJ Palmer (@arvalis) 1639027671000
Last week’s Nike case suing StockX was simply the most recent. HitPiece was forced to suspend its music NFT marketplace, after backlash from artistes and users. Before that, trademark owner Darden Restaurants asked for the ‘Olive Gardens’ NFTs to stop trading.
Closer to home, Virender Sehwag issued repeated clarifications that he is not associated with Hashcards, which sold 2100 NFT-based digital cards based upon the likeness of many cricketers, including him.

The days when a convicted bank robber could get a job selling gold coins in Minnesota are coming to an end.
A state law takes effect Thursday that will provide consumer protections for precious metals buyers and, effective next July, give the Minnesota Department of Commerce oversight over dealers and their employees.
The new bullion coin law will require criminal background checks and will ban from the industry anyone convicted of a financial crime in the preceding 10 years. Dealers also must post a surety bond that can be tapped by consumers in the event of misbehavior. Those who violate the law could be charged with a misdemeanor and pay a fine of $10,000 per incident.
A Star Tribune investigation in 2011 found that the unregulated industry was rife with addicts, ex-convicts and con artists who routinely misled or defrauded customers, frequently seniors looking for a safe investment.
While the state has laws regulating pawn brokers and other "secondhand" precious-metal buyers, Minnesota appears to be the first state to regulate retail coin dealers and telemarketers like financial advisers.
Some dealers said the new law was needed to clean up Minnesota's reputation as a hotbed of unscrupulous coin dealers. But others said the law goes too far and will likely drive some smaller companies out of state or out of business.
"We had some rotten apples in the business," said Jim Cook, owner of Investment Rarities Inc. in Bloomington, who is considered the grandfather of coin telemarketing in Minnesota. "The big thing is keeping the felons out of the business."
Cook cited the activities of former business rival David Marion, who's scheduled to be sentenced Aug. 29 in federal court for securities fraud, mail fraud and money laundering related to his now-defunct company, International Rarities Corp. At its peak in 2009, the company did $24 million in annual business.
"I'm glad that he finally got his comeuppance. He was the main cancer," Cook said. "Then the personnel that learned the business there would go out on their own and fleece some more people. It's horrible."
It's impossible to say just how many ex-cons permeate the industry because there have been no licensing requirements. The newspaper investigation found six dozen Twin Cities salesmen with serious criminal records who had worked for area coin companies since the 1990s.
The new law wouldn't have barred Marion from the industry, as he had no criminal record when he started. But it would have barred some of his former employees who've been convicted of fraud, forgery, bank robbery, burglary, or theft.
Gary Adkins, an Edina coin dealer and a past president of the Professional Numismatists Guild, said some regulation was warranted. But he said the new bullion law was "ramrodded through" the Legislature by Attorney General Lori Swanson and needs revisions.
"I think it was ill-prepared," Adkins said. "The result is that it will probably put some smaller dealers that have done nothing wrong out of business."
Adkins said the law may interfere with interstate commerce laws by imposing restrictions on out-of-state dealers who do business in Minnesota.
'We're looking forward to it'
The attorney general's office is comfortable that the law will meet constitutional muster, said spokesman Ben Wogsland. He said the regulatory scheme is similar to the state's oversight of payday lenders, and noted that a Ramsey County judge recently granted summary judgment to the state in a dispute with a Delaware lender that did business in Minnesota without a license.
"It's a great law and we're looking forward to it," said Mike Rothman, commissioner of the Minnesota Department of Commerce, whose agency will enforce its provisions. "We know there were a lot of complaints about scams, and particularly with senior citizens."
As of Aug. 1, dealers will have to provide their customers specific details about their transactions in writing, including the content of the precious metals in any coins they sell. They must itemize all of the coins that are traded. And they must deliver the products by an agreed-upon time, or if no agreement exists, within 30 days.
The law also bars dealers from misrepresenting the value, characteristics or earnings potential of a transaction, or the manner in which a consumer's coins will be handled or stored. Dealers can no longer try to renegotiate a deal after receiving a customer's money or coins in an agreed-upon exchange. And they must respond to consumer delivery complaints within three days.
If a consumer asks not to be contacted, the dealer may not solicit the person again or sell or give away the consumer's contact information. The latter provision is designed to curtail widespread theft and sales of customer lists.
Rothman said that once the regulatory portion goes into effect next summer, consumers will be able to look up licensed dealers and salesmen on Commerce Department's website, just as they do now for debt collectors, mortgage brokers and insurance agents.
Swanson's office has filed four civil consumer-fraud cases against coin dealers since 2011. In its most recent case, it won a default judgment of $1.38 million against the now defunct Guardian Gold & Silver Exchange of Plymouth and is still litigating the case against its founders, Ray Hanisco and Schaun Waste.
Wogsland said the regulatory scheme and bond requirements of the new law should help prevent future problems in the industry. But he said "jail time and criminal prosecutions" have a greater effect.
Federal authorities are investigating several Twin Cities coin dealers.
Some coin dealers say they've been damned by association. One of them is Jamie Lee Smith, owner of American Independent Gold & Silver and majority owner of American Platinum Gold & Silver. Smith settled a consumer fraud complaint filed by the attorney general's office and said he's doing his utmost to treat his customers fairly. He said he has referred allegations of consumer fraud to federal investigators.
Smith said he is not concerned about the new law.
"I've already been through hell and high water," he said. "Now it will weed out other people that are not legitimate enough to be in the business."

Teen thriller 'Swimfan' leads weekend box office
LOS ANGELES -- "Swimfan," a creepy thriller about a teenage seductress who stalks a high school swim star, took the weekend box office by surprise, earning $12.4 million to finish in first place.
The season's low-budget hit, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding," maintained its hold on second place, earning $10.6 million. Now in its 21st week, the cross-cultural love story made for just $5 million is approaching the $100 million mark.
"City by the Sea," based loosely on the true story of a New York police detective who learns his estranged son is the prime suspect in a murder, debuted in third place. Starring Oscar winners Robert De Niro and Frances McDormand, the film brought in $9.1 million.
"Swimfan," a "Fatal Attraction" for the high school set, stars Jesse Bradford as Ben Cronin, a high school senior with a sweet girlfriend and a chance at a swimming scholarship. He doesn't see trouble coming because it's hidden behind the cherubic smile of the new girl in town, Madison Bell.
Inmates will get to show off music talent on VH1
MOUNT OLIVE, W.Va. -- A film crew for VH1's "Music Behind Bars" shot scenes for the new half-hour program at Mount Olive Correctional Complex recently.
The show, which premieres next month, features songs created and performed by prison inmates.
"We are trying to focus on the real music and the real people that exist behind bars," said executive producer Jay Blumenfeld.
"In this kind of show, we are not trying to produce television with a capital 'T,' we are trying to tell it like it is. No lights, no huge cameras," he said.
A four-person team was at the maximum security prison for four days to film musical performances and interview inmates and staff.

A 2008 musical anniversary has passed almost without notice: the 100th anniversary of the death of the great Spanish violinist and composer Pablo de Sarasate.
Violinist Gil Shaham has noticed, and is doing something about it. Shaham is going to Spain next week to record music by Sarasate for a 2009 CD. And tonight (Thursday 11/20), Shaham will be on live national TV, playing some of the gorgeous and virtuosic music by Sarasate, and talking about his musical hero.
Live from Lincoln Center will be broadcast live on many PBS stations tonight, and repeated in the coming days on many other stations. Check you local listings by going to Live from Lincoln Center's page, and using their helpful links.
For a preview of the broadcast, check out these two videos (courtesy of Live from Lincoln Center).
The first is Gil on Sarasate:
And the second is Gil's take on connections between Sarasate and Nicolo Paganini:
I'll be there as announcer and commentator for the Live from Lincoln Center broadcast, but Gil is such a warm and genial presence on stage, he's doing all the introductions. My job will consist mostly of sitting back and enjoying Gil's amazing fiddling, right alongside you!
Your site is very nice :) Respect to admin !,
Hey, that's so cool that you do the PBS broadcasts.
Is hosting on TV really different from hosting on Radio?

Probably one of the greatest era's ever. Second to the sixties. The beginning and end of great music. A time when music was real and wasn't fake like todays pop and rap. Even rap was good back then. The people were real, they knew who they were and where they were going. If only it could last forever.
Weezer in the 90's = real alternative music
Weezer in the 21st century= lame pop music :(

Omega’s Nutrition Center is a “masticating-style” juice extractor that operates at low speeds of 75-85 RP, therefore, minimizing heat build-up, preserving enzymes and reducing oxidation. The auger system forces produce a tight chamber, grinding and pressing the food to squeeze out the juice from a wide variety of products including wheatgrass, leafy greens, fruits, and vegetables. The Nutrition Center “Processing Strainer” allows the making of all-natural nut butter, baby food, soy milk, almond milk and a variety of healthy snacks. NC800 has a larger chute opening than earlier models, and an adjustable end cap with 5-settings to efficiently extract juice from a variety of produce. Then NC800 series also has a built-in handle and uses 8 times stronger GE Ultem material in the auger and strainers.

Extreme Wellness Supply's team was very helpful, especially Kate. Thank you 😊
Love my juicer. Will buy from Extreme Wellness Supply again.
We bought this magic juicer 6 months ago and we push it to the limits. All we do are juices and coconut milk. Juices, either fruit or veggies, come out with a lively, whole, delicious texture. Pulp comes out dry. We use it every day for lots of juices. The plastic parts, including the Auger, have been replaced since they broke one time... but I think it´s normal for the amount we use it, especially for coconut milk, since the coconut is really hard. This is my first cold press juicing machines, but I thoroughly recommend it!
This is our first juicer and we have made juices and almond butter so far. This product will give us more ways eat well. We are excited to start making wheatgrass juice and exploring the new way to create healthy foods!
This juicer works wonders! We are growing and juicing wheatgrass every day. Try adding carrots and celery to the wheat grass. It is yummy! We also enjoy making frozen desserts and nut butter. Easy to clean!

Demand of Singapore Landed Property
Landed properties have already raised in demand due to a new government initiative which allows developers to have much more extent in the design of their homes. New landed homes have been granted to built a 4-storey home instead of three.
Because there are quiet advantage in the development of new landed house, property prices are likely to survive any economic hits that could change other forms of real estate. With the limited amount of foreign buyers and the high demand of landed properties, prices are tending to remain high.
Landed properties like Victoria Park Villas have certainly a great reason why it should come out quite preferably among Singapore investors. Despite landed housing is in limited supply they are certainly thought-out to be safer choice than other real estate like condominium.

|Mist-cloaked Lake Frank after a night of rainstorms.|
Originally I was going to stay home on Friday. My husband wanted to borrow my car and I figured I’d hang out with the cats, get some cleaning done, that sort of thing. But at the last minute he decided to take his own car after all, and the expected rain looked like it would hold off til early afternoon. So I took this as a sign that I should go hiking.
We’d had some fierce torrential thunderstorms Thursday afternoon and night, so I wanted to see how Lake Frank looked. I also thought I might get neat photographs of raindrops clinging to leaves. There was indeed still a lot of moisture everywhere, but most of it was suspended in the air. The weather started somewhere between misty and hazy, as you can see above, but ended up just plain hot and sticky by mid-day. I did get a few interesting shots though, including some of droplets on perched damselflies. Zoom in on the damselfly shots to really see the mist.
|I love when mist catches sunbeams like this.|
|This damselfly carried only one mist droplet.|
|This one has a whole family of droplets to carry!|
I spent most of my day in two spots at the park. One was a shallow inlet that held Mallards, Wood Ducks, a Green Heron, a newly arrived Spotted Sandpiper and basking Painted & Red-bellied Turtles. I had to wade through thigh-high wet grass to get there, but it was worth getting a bit damp. I perched on a hunk of lumber near the shore, probably a fisherman’s seat, and got to observe the undisturbed animals from fairly close. Even though the air was too hazy to make for fantastic photos, I still had a great time watching the animals, especially the Green Heron while it hunted minnows. I love Green Herons, they are so energetic and interesting.
|The fluffy white debris is molted mallard feathers. Messy little beasts.|
|Check out that gargantuan Red-bellied Turtle, must be at least the size of a Mallard! The sandpiper is on the short log in the foreground.|
I also spent a lot of time in some semi-reclaimed parking lots. These expansive swaths of asphalt have been abandoned for years, it looks like, and are in the process of returning to weedy wilderness. Although I did meet a few hikers just back from four years out of state, who were shocked and saddened at the lots’ abandonment, I love it. It’s amazing to see wildlife fighting to take the area back, sprouting clumps of milkweed here, rambling blackberry vines there. I’ve found lots of cool plants and animals in these parking lots this summer, and today didn’t disappoint. I found several humongous Cicada Killer wasps (Sphecius speciosus) in the parking lots, one individual even carrying prey!
Apparently the female Cicada Killers dig long burrows ending in cells which they stuff with paralyzed cicadas. One egg is laid per cell, and in a few days the eggs hatch into small but ravenous larvae who feast on the cicadas for a couple weeks before pupating through the winter. I watched the wasps patrol a tangle of tall grasses on a former road median. It was hard to get a good look at them, let alone many photographs, as they skimmed swiftly through the grassy tops and swooped down into the denser parts of the tangle. I wasn’t exactly sure of the ID, especially since I didn’t have a bug field guide with me, until I finally saw the individual with prey. She landed heavily on the grasses and then clambered deep into the tangle, presumably heading for her burrow. Way cool.
Also in the former parking lots I spotted a lurking Praying Mantis, a Gladiator Katydid (what a great name!), a passel of milkweed bug nymphs, a robber fly, and blooming goldenrod, mullein and thistle, plus plenty of birds and butterflies. Not bad for a patch of asphalt.
|This mantis was browner than the ones I saw at Meadowside, so not as well camouflaged.|
|Gladiator Katydid on milkweed.|
|A robber fly, I think Promachus rufipes. Fierce looking but it won't sting you.|
|Tiny Milkweed Bug nymphs haven't yet developed their black wings.|
|Bees were loving the goldenrod, including this one with bulging pollen baskets!|
I have to say, this makes the second hike in a row where I witnessed a rather horrible death of a cicada. Is there a pattern here? I know one thing for sure-- I don’t want to reincarnate as a fat, juicy cicada!

Kristin Jarvis Adams (back right) found different forms of support when her son Andrew (bottom right) was diagnosed with autism, and then years later when he battled a rare immune disorder. Also pictured are her husband, Jon, and daughter, Hannah.
The proverb that suggests it takes a village to raise a child can be easily adapted for parents facing the various challenges that come with having a child with special needs and circumstances. Parents sometimes need the support of a village. Author Kristin Jarvis Adams shared her experiences with On the Pulse in finding her village when her son, Andrew, was diagnosed with autism and years later, when he was treated and overcame a rare immune disorder at Seattle Children’s and Seattle Cancer Care Alliance. Adams, who is a member of the Autism Center Guild at Seattle Children’s, tells her family’s story in her book The Chicken Who Saved Us: The Remarkable Story of Andrew and Frightful.
For 10 years my husband and I had been making trips to and from Seattle Children’s with our autistic son, Andrew, who suffered from an unheard of progressive inflammatory disease. Andrew had been in the hospital for months, his body riddled with gaping ulcers, his organs compromised by chronic inflammation. Now we were in the middle of chemotherapy and radiation treatments that were preparing him for an experimental bone marrow transplant. It was our last hope.

Olivia was born with a rare disease of the liver.
Patricia Alva knew, even before her baby girl was born, that something was wrong. When she was pregnant, doctors detected a cyst on the baby’s stomach during an ultrasound.
“It was heartbreaking,” said Alva.
After she was born, doctors diagnosed baby Olivia with biliary atresia, a rare disease of the liver. It occurs when a baby’s bile ducts do not form normally. It occurs in about 1 in every 15,000 babies. Read full post »
Kaden Hollis, now 11, received a lifesaving liver transplant when he was nearly 2 years old.
In honor of Donate Life Month, On the Pulse shares an inspiring story of a mother and her son that symbolizes the true act of ‘paying it forward’. Kaden Hollis was only 1 years old when he underwent a lifesaving liver transplant. Throughout Kaden’s journey, his mother Cindie knew that although the gift of life her son received could never be paid back, it could be paid forward — which is what she did when a friend was in desperate need.
Kaden Hollis was just 3 months old when his mother, Cindie Hollis, began noticing signs that indicated her baby was not well.
The whites of his eyes were turning yellow, which quickly spread throughout his entire body. He had a constant itch that resulted in awful cuts all over his delicate skin from the scratching. It was evident that Kaden had a severe case of jaundice. After numerous doctor visits and careful monitoring of his condition over the next several months, Kaden’s health was not improving. To find the answer to what was causing her son’s worrisome condition Hollis went to Seattle Children’s Hospital when he was 13 months old.

Trevor was born with rare disease called maple syrup urine disease. Seattle Childrens transplant program is one of six centers in the country to offer transplantation for children with MSUD.
Only a week after giving birth to twins, a girl and a boy, in July of 2008, Annette Cole’s world was turned upside down. Something was wrong with her baby boy, Trevor Clemons. In his first couple weeks of life he was lethargic, irritable and couldn’t keep any food down. She was overwhelmed with fear as doctors delivered the difficult news.
The diagnosis felt as unreal as the name of the disease sounded: maple syrup urine disease (MSUD).
“We couldn’t believe it,” said Cole. “When we first found out about the disease, we had never heard of it before. We didn’t know what to expect. We didn’t know anything.” Read full post »

Only 21 days after receiving a life-saving heart transplant at Seattle Children’s Hospital, Lincoln was discharged from the hospital with a new heart and a new lease on life.
“We’re so excited,” said Rob Seay, Lincoln’s father. “As a family it’s been a big celebration since we were discharged. We’re finally all under one roof again. It’s a tremendous blessing.” Read full post »
McKinley with her twin brother.
In honor of World Kidney Day, On The Pulse shares the inspirational story of 5-year-old McKinley Miller who was born with just one kidney that did not develop normally. “She’s our little miracle,” said McKinley’s mother, Jennifer Miller. “We want other people to know there’s always hope. All you have to do is look at McKinley and see what she’s overcome.”
When Jennifer Miller learned she was expecting twins she was overjoyed. Unfortunately, Miller’s joy quickly turned to uncertainty. At her 20-week ultrasound, Miller was told something was wrong with one of the babies.
“I could tell they were looking for something that wasn’t there,” said Miller. “I knew something wasn’t quite right.”
Baby McKinley was prenatally diagnosed with kidney disease and was missing one kidney. She suffered from a rare combination of complex developmental problems affecting multiple organs in her body, including her kidneys, heart and rectum.
“We chose to stay positive,” said Miller. “We were told we may lose her, but I refused to focus on that possibility. I kept focusing on having both my babies.” Read full post »
Seattle Children’s is launching a pilot with Health123 for a digital program that focuses on follow-up care for transplant patients.
Transplant day is a joyous milestone for children and families who’ve been through a difficult illness. But the healing does not end when the new organ is in place—in fact, that is when the real work begins, according to Dr. Jodi Smith, Medical Director for the Kidney Transplant Program at Seattle Children’s.
“One of the biggest factors in a successful transplant is for the patient to follow a careful regimen afterwards so the new organ can do its job,” said Smith. “Patients often struggle to maintain their health after a transplant and need extensive support.”
To help with this problem, Dr. Smith’s transplant team is working with Dr. Jane Dickerson and Dr. Michael Astion from the Department of Laboratories on a pilot for a digital program from Health123 that focuses on the follow-up care for transplant patients at Seattle Children’s, which has one of the highest-ranked kidney transplant programs in the country.

Aaden Adams with his parents, Cheree and Andrew Adams
Aaden Adams remembers waking up in his room in the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU) at Seattle Children’s Hospital and asking for red Popsicles.
“Everybody wanted me to talk and I wanted a red Popsicle,” said the precocious 6-year-old with a face full of freckles. “So I asked for Popsicles. Do you remember that, Mom?”
“Yes, we remember that well,” answered Aaden’s mom, Cheree Adams. “That was a good day. That was the day we knew that you were on the right path. We knew that you were coming back to us.”
Just two weeks prior, Aaden, who was born with a congenital heart defect, was so near death that his parents were preparing themselves for the reality that he might not make it out of the hospital. It was a situation they had not even considered.
“He came here for a pretty minor procedure,” said Andrew Adams, Aaden’s father. “He was supposed to be in and out of the operating room, but then his body just shut down. His heart wouldn’t restart.”
Dr. Erin Albers, Aaden’s attending cardiologist, said the complication was so unusual that no one on the care team had seen it before. Read full post »
Parker Rana, 15, has truly overcome the odds to get to where he is today. Born with multiple heart defects, Parker grew up in and out of the hospital. But now, he’s a thriving teenager with an incredible story of hope.
Below is Parker’s story: from hospital bed to trackside, cheering on his favorite racing team, The Heart of Racing.
An unexpected delivery
Jaydine Rana, Parker’s mother, was expecting a healthy baby boy when she delivered Parker on June 2, 1999 in Mt. Vernon, Wash. Unfortunately, she got some unexpected news that day. Parker was born with a combination of four heart defects – a hole in his heart, a missing pulmonary artery and valve, an enlarged ventricle and an overriding aorta. He was airlifted to Seattle Children’s Hospital shortly after birth for treatment. Read full post »
April marks National Donate Life Month, a time devoted to spreading awareness about the tremendous need for increasing the number of organ, eye and tissue donors. According to the United Network for Organ Sharing (UNOS), more than 120,000 people in the U.S. are on the waiting list for a lifesaving organ, and sadly, more than 21 people die each day waiting for a transplant. For some, becoming a donor and the transplantation process can seem daunting, but the impact on a recipient’s life is invaluable.
Seattle Children’s has one of the best and busiest pediatric transplant centers in the nation, working across a six-state region to provide lifesaving organ transplants for patients. Seattle Children’s Transplant Center is one of the few in the world that performs living donor liver transplants, is one of the top five kidney transplant centers in the U.S. and also has some of the best survival outcomes in the nation for pediatric liver, kidney and heart transplants.

By the end of the 19th century, Montreal was home to Canada’s largest Italian community. During the first decades of the 20th century, the demand for unskilled labour and seasonal work in railway construction or in natural resource extraction was increasing. In 1910, Montreal was undergoing a major phase of expansion, which included work such as paving streets, building canals and tunnels, adding sewer and tramway lines and erecting buildings. The call was answered by 58,104 Italians arriving in Canada, many of them settling in Montreal.

Located within the Can Alomar Luxury Boutique Hotel, this is popular with discerning locals as well as hotel guests – for both the cuisine and elegantly restored 19th-century mansion setting. Eat indoors or alfresco on the large terrace above the prestigious Borne, with treetop views.
De Tokio a Lima
English, Spanish, German
The cuisine is a successful (and trendy) fusion of Japanese, Peruvian, and Mediterranean, with the à la carte menu sectioned into starters, raw and marinated, from the stove, and sweet temptations.
We tried shrimp salad with lime and wasabi stems, scallops sashimi with Mallorcan tomato salad and papaya, and seared tuna tartar with avocado and crispy yucca. The South American superfood quinoa is the star – and protein-rich – ingredient of their satisfying risotto with mushrooms and truffle, from the stove.
We shared (recommended) four dishes, for which we paid just over 80 euros (without drinks). Wines are mainly Spanish, with a few well-chosen Mallorcan. Despite the restaurant being busy, we had pleasant, efficient service. At lunchtime, on the terrace, the constant sound of the city’s traffic was noticeable, but didn’t make conversation difficult. For less background noise, eat indoors.

For example, dihydrotestosterone has primarily androgenic effect on muscle and this steroid can have some of the strongest stimulating effects on growth hormones that you can get. It can increase insulin and testosterone production in the body and that is because of the fact that dihydrotestosterone is produced inside the body and then it goes up the bloodstream into the muscle through the intestinal system where it is metabolized by the enzyme known as glucokinase. Trenbolone A is considered to be one of the most potent androgenic steroids because of the high aldosterone content of the steroid which acts as a stimulator of the androgen receptor system. It's most useful to be used in an anabolic environment within the larger context of strength training. When it comes to anandamide, it's not a compound produced by the body but rather by the liver and it is known as anandamide. This steroid has strong stimulatory effects on growth and is most commonly used to assist in the maintenance of body weight and shape. In addition to anandamide, several other androgenic steroids are available including Dianabol, Cypionate, Testosterone and Prolactin. Types of Steroids that are useful for athletes Related Article:

There are few people in history who have earned as much hatred as Adolf Hitler managed to for the things that they did during their lives. Indeed, Hitler remains one of history’s most hated villains, and easily the most hated world leader of the 21st century. This makes it all the more shocking that hip-hop ‘singer-songwriter’ Erykah Badu would say she “saw something good in Hitler.” She also said that Hitler’s childhood might be a mitigating factor when judging Adolf for the slaughter of six million innocents.
However, that is precisely what Erykah Badu said in response to a question from an interviewer working for Vulture. The interview covered a wide variety of topics but came off the rails when it turned into a discussion about Erykah Badu’s past statements on her love for Louis Farrakhan.
The question was designed to ask about her statements in a 2008 Haaretz interview, in which Badu said that she followed Louis Farrakhan and professed to be a fan of his works and his views. This was a strange statement for Badu to make to Haaretz (an Israeli newspaper) while in Israel, especially because Louis Farrakhan has such a well-documented history of making anti-Semitic statements.
Erykah Badu’s response certainly did nothing to quell suspicions that surfaced in 2008 that she was an anti-Semite. Badu’s response to questions about her support for Farrakhan was that “I’m not an anti-Semitic person. I didn’t even know what anti-Semitic was before I was called it. I’m a humanist. I see good in everybody. I saw something good in Hitler.”
There’s not much positive to be said about Adolf Hitler, the person he was, or the things that he did in life, and the Vulture’s interviewer, taken aback by Erykah Badu’s statement, tried to give Erykah a chance to clarify her statement, saying “come again?” However, Erykah Badu doubled down on her earlier statement, saying that “Hitler was a wonderful painter.”
The interviewer, further taken aback and now attempting to find something sensible in Erykah Badu’s comment, asked for some sort of clarification and pointed out (rightly so) that despite popular belief, Adolf Hitler’s art was terribly mediocre (which it was). Erykah’s responses continued to make little sense.
When pressed on her strange commentary on Adolf Hitler and his art, Erykah went on to say that “okay, he was a terrible painter. Poor thing. He had a terrible childhood. That means that when I’m looking at my daughter, Mars, I could imagine her being in someone else’s home and being treated so poorly, and what that could spawn. I see things like that. I guess it’s just the Pisces in me.”
After this statement, the interviewer asked Badu if she was essentially “turning the idea of empathy into an empty abstraction,” to which Badu replied, “maybe so.” She also admitted that she didn’t “have the most popular opinion sometimes.”
Erykah couldn’t even finish the interview without finding some other opportunity to put her foot in her mouth. She declared her love for Bill Cosby, who has been repeatedly accused of sexual misconduct, as well as praising “what he’s done for the world.” This statement, at least, could be forgiven; after all, there is no evidence, aside from hearsay, suggesting that Bill Cosby did anything wrong, and one could be forgiven for refusing to believe a claim without evidence.
However, in her next statement, Erykah Badu stated that she believed Cosby hurt people, saying “the people who got hurt, I feel so bad for them. I want them to feel better, too. But sick people do evil things; hurt people hurt people. I know I could be crucified for saying that because I’m supposed to be on the purple team or the green team. I’m not trying to rebel against what everybody’s saying, but maybe I want to measure it. Somebody will call me and ask me to come to a march because such and such got shot. In that situation, I want to know what really happened.”
All things considered, Erykah Badu’s vapid answers to the questions posed by the Vulture interviewer suggest the same thing that her statements supporting Louis Farrakhan suggest; she’s simply not that bright outside of the music scene she belongs in. She might also be anti-Semitic, as almost anyone would say that Adolf Hitler was a bad person who did nothing positive for anyone in his life.
This interview highlights something that is becoming more apparent with each passing day; looking to celebrities for intelligent political opinion is a mistake. Apparently, Erykah Badu’s political opinions include the ideas that the obnoxious black separatist Louis Farrakhan is a good person, as is Adolf Hitler, and that even if Bill Cosby hurt people, he still deserves to be praised for portraying a good father on television.
If there is one takeaway from this interview, it is this: most celebrities know next to nothing about the world outside of their tiny spheres of existence. Take their political opinions with a grain of salt.

More energy-efficient and soundproof windows (glazing) can be achieved through multiple layers or through the use of coatings. Insulated glazing is an effective (but expensive) building element for these purposes.
Placement and size of the windows are also very important. Passive solar design considers the amount of sun that is captured, at what time of the year, and what time of the day, to warm when warmth is needed, and shield from heat during the hotter seasons and/or hotter parts of the day.
Multiple layer windows[edit | edit source]
Double-glazed windows[edit | edit source]
Double glazed windows are windows fitted with 2 panes of glass that have a space between them of approximately 12mm to 16mm. This space can be filled with air or with argon gas. The resulting effect is of insulated glazing which leads to reduced heat and noise transmission and, therefore, also to a warmer house.
Most double-glazed windows are made of PVC material. However, it is not uncommon for the frames to be also made of aluminium or wood.
Triple glazed windows[edit | edit source]
Triple glazed windows are similar to double-glazed ones. The main difference between them is that in triple glazing an extra panel is added. This extra panel adds a limited amount of extra insulation to the house which is a small improvement when compared to double glazed windows. Price-wise triple glazing costs substantially more than double glazing.
Advantages and disadvantages[edit | edit source]
The benefits are:
- Although the buying cost for insulated glazing is higher, the investment will be more than payed back as glazed windows can insulate your house up to 50-70% better.
- The double or triple glazed windows are stronger and, so, also safer.
- The better insulated windows can reduce with up to 60% the noise from the outside that gets into the house.
- Because double or triple glazed windows limit the amount of heat and sun transmittance from the outside, they can also lessen damage to your furniture, carpets, paintings and other objects.
- Insulated windows can increase the house value.
- Your carbon footprint can be reduced with insulated windows. This is because they can lessen significantly the greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from heating and cooing.
The disadvantages are:
- Greater cost
- The windows must be kept closed to gain the full effect. The insulation effect is largely lost when the windows are opened. This may not be a big problem as:
Use of inert gas such as argon adds to the efficiency, but at greater cost and it will leak out over perhaps 5 years. This is probably not cost-effective.[expansion needed]
Cost effective design idea[edit | edit source]
- This may be interresting for those on a tight budget that can't afford those new windows. Most of the windows in this house I have now are double glass already...but!...what the previous owner did was to put magentic strips around the edges of the window and add a removable panel of clear plexy glass. It is relativly thick plexy..not that thin flimzy stuff, the magnet strips create a very good seal, they can be removed to clean with a soft cloth and plexi is not that expensive. It is a great idea. I believe, it makes a significant difference to condensation, heat transfer, wind, noise and as a safety regarding protection if glass should get broken. - Yahoo! Answers - I want to get double pane, energy efficient windows for my home. How important is Argon gas a factor? (from a response posted by Jamie)
Alternatives[edit | edit source]
Thermal curtains. An advantage is that a tenant could invest in thermal curtains and take the curtains with them when they move.
The appropriate solution depends on the context. Especially with a new building, double glazing or other insulated glazing is a good choice.

|關鍵字:||calamansi;calamondin;citrus fruits;fragrance;PCA;SPME;terpenes;aliphatic alcohols;beta-pinene;beta-cubebene||Project:||European Journal of Horticultural Science||期刊/報告no：:||European Journal of Horticultural Science, Volume 69, Issue 3, Page(s) 117-124.||摘要:||
A solid-phase micro-extraction (SPME) procedure for analysis of the flavour components of two varieties of Citrus madurensis Lour. (Syn. Citrus microcarpa Bunge), the Philippine calamansi and the Taiwan calamondin, is presented. Fifty-eight components were identified, and grouped into eight classes: 8 monoterpene hydrocarbons, 3 oxygenated monoterpenes, 18 sesquiterpenes, 2 aliphatic hydrocarbons, 10 esters, 11 aldehydes, 3 alcohols and 3 ketones. On the whole, Philippine calamansi juice has statistically higher percentage of ketones, monoterpene hydrocarbons, and sesquiterpenes than calamondin from Taiwan. Principal component analysis (PCA) was used as a descriptive tool to identify aroma species that contributed strongly to overall flavour constituent's variation. Five principal components were extracted from the data matrix represent a cumulative 84.1 % of the total variation of aroma concentration. Among the five PCA axes, the distribution of the Philippine calamansi samples was separated nicely from the distribution of the Taiwan calamondin samples along the third and fourth axes graphically. The third axis is the axis of beta-pinene and beta-cubebene. While nonyl alcohol and linalyl alcohol correlate greatly to the fourth axis. The key components occurring in the Taiwan calamondin and Philippine calamansi were compared and discussed.

The leftover dilemma
I hate throwing out food but there are some things that are hard to keep/reheat. What do you do w/:
1) dressed salad
4) if you have enough cookie dough to make 3-4 cookies but the tray is full and you can't make the cookies any larger, what do you do w/ the remainder?
5) leftover frosting when you don't plan on baking any time soon
1- i try and eat asap..or as a snack later that night...
2-depends on the fish
3-never have leftover steak....
5...usually never have leftover frosting...but the little that does remain in the bowl usually disappears somehow................
1. I make sure never to have leftover dressed salad.
2. Fish cakes
3. Composed salad, like a tuna niçoise, but with sliced steak. If am not home, husband loads up some of our homemade French bread with the steak, mustard and some cheese and eats over the sink.
4/5. N/A. Not a sweets person
dressed salad will hold a day or two, but i rarely have that issue.
fish and steak can go over salad, into breakfast eggs, or in a stir-fry.
cook off the cookie dough, even if just a few on a pan, or freeze it for next time.
left-over frosting? your cake needs more frosting then!
With fish, it depends on what type and what sort of sauce it's in, etc. Cakes are a good option, or throw onto a lunch salad. You can also do some good dips with different fish.
With steak, it depends on how well cooked it is. I like medium rare, which means it does reheat better. If you cook it to nearly well, I think all hope is lost. I refer to reheat it in liquid. So, thinly slice it - VERY thinly - then place in a pan of gentle simmering flavored broth just to re-heat. Remove and pile on a hoagie with sauteed onions and mushrooms for a great sandwich.
Cookie dough - place on parchment and freeze. Once they are frozen, throw them in a freezer bag. You can bake them later - even just one when you need it!
I eat the salad in a pita pocket to soak up the dressing, and add a couple of fresh vegs for crunch.
I don't save fish.
I make quesadillas or burritos with leftover steak. Sometimes I make a steak salad. I also freeze it and use it as above in a month or two.
Wait until the first batch is baked, then plop the remaining dough on the sheet and bake them too.
I don't make frosting much, but you can use it to frost storebought muffins.

Sweden is one of those countries that needs little introduction, packed full of amazing little towns, gorgeous regions and some delicious grub, Sweden gives us travellers some exciting places to see and an excuse to build a gazillion snowmen! ⛄
You’ve probably realised by now that I tend to bang on about how much I LOVE Scandinavian countries, with our most recent trip being to the Arctic Circle in Northern Norway (which, by the way, blew my mind). From island nations like the picturesque Faroe Islands, the charm of Denmark (and the amazing city of, Copenhagen) to breathtaking countries like Iceland – Scandinavia has it all!
If you’re thinking about visiting Scandinavia, make sure to consider visiting some of Sweden’s most beautiful places. Some are obvious, some a little more unknown but I guarantee you’ll love them all (especially if you love a snowflake or two). Take a look at 9 things you need to see when visiting Sweden. 🇸🇪
1.) Explore the historic Gamla stan, Stockholm
Stockholm is a vibrant and colourful city that is the perfect city break in Scandinavia. In fact, I’d go as far as saying it’s one of the best (shhhh, don’t tell the others). Make sure to wander around Gamla stan and head over to Operakallaren for a tasty, Michelin star, treat.
If you’re thinking of visiting Stockholm, make sure to visit some of these gorgeous towns across the country and even book yourself into a jumbo jet hotel where you can even book to sleep in the cockpit!
2.) Stay at the Ice Hotel in Swedish Lapland
When thinking of Lapland, it’s likely that our minds go straight to northern Finland, with all its association with Father Christmas, bundles of snow and reindeers… but that’s not the only place where Lapland (and Sami culture lives), with its influence and culture stretching across 3 different Scandinavian countries; Finland, Norway and Sweden.
Visit in the winter months to get a better chance of seeing the Northern Lights and don’t forget your gloves! Building snowmen often give a frosty bite! If you’re looking for an extra special experience, head over to Sweden’s stunning Ice Hotel that is a pretty unforgettable place to rest your head.
3.) Explore a little bit of Norrland
There’s a whole heap of things to see in the relatively large area that is Norrland, which makes for some exciting experiences for us visitors. Make sure to wander across Isbanan the frozen lake that’s around half a mile from Bistro. Obviously, make sure to listen to local safety guidelines and never venture out unless the ice is thick enough. No one wants to fall in an icy lake!
If you’re less interested in walking around the icy tundra or frozen lakes, make sure to visit the quaint little Gammelstad Church Town that is so picturesque at sunset.
4.) Find some of Sweden’s castles
Sweden has a whole range of pretty amazing castles that each of us should definitely visit on our trips to Sweden. From grand palatial like castles to remote outhouses that guarded Swedish territory, the whole country is scattered with loads of gorgeous castles that you’ll want to explore. Make sure to visit Läckö Castle and check out these other amazing castles that are scattered around the country.
5.) Visit the small locality of Sundborn
Perched in Dalarna County, Sundborn is a gorgeous little town that is well worth a visit, especially if you’re already in the area. Don’t forget to visit Carl Larsson’s house. One of the region’s most famed artists. Around 160 miles inland from Stockholm, it’s a great place to experience a little piece of old Sweden.
Don’t forget to drop on by Korsa Herrgard for some traditional cakes and has some gorgeous rooms to stay in. A true home away from home.
6.) Find Skellefteå, the lakes and its rivers
Skellefteå is one of Sweden’s smaller cities but that doesn’t mean it’s any less exciting. Perched just at the start of Swedish Lapland, Skellefteå is a gorgeous place to explore, especially in the summer. Make the most of the midnight sun, hike the gorgeous parks around the city and canoe down it’s winding rivers and it’s beautiful lakes. It really is a special place.
7.) Explore Kalmar and the island of Öland
Perched on the edge of the Baltic Sea, Kalmar is a gorgeous city that is home to one of the country’s most iconic castles and Kalmar Cathedral. For a little jaunt out of the city, drive over to the island of Öland and discover some of the small villages and towns that line its shores.
For a tasty and city renowned coffee, head over to Balck Coffee and choose your blend for the perfect brew.
8.) Learn to sail in Öregrund
Nestled within Uppsala County, Öregrund is one of Sweden’s smallest cities, with under 2,000 people calling it home. Make sure to visit in the summer months and rent a small sailboat from the historic harbour. Still considered one of Uppland’s (and Sweden’s) best preserved wooden cities, it really is a great place to experience the historic charm of Sweden.
9.) Find the Botanic Gardens in Gothenburg
Perched on the west coast of Sweden, Gothenburg is one of Sweden’s most westerly cities that’s well worth stopping by. Spend a long weekend exploring the coast in and around the city, chow down at Feskekôrka where you’ll grab some fresh shellfish and don’t forget to head over to the iconic botanic gardens. It’s a surreal experience being in a relatively hot glass house in the snowy winter months.

STOCKTON — Tens of thousands of central Stockton residents might be surprised in July when they start receiving a new monthly bill in the mail.
But they won’t be paying more overall, officials said.
Rather, the new bill marks the end of a 13-year agreement during which the California Water Service Co. handled billing for other Stockton services, such as sewer, garbage and recycling.
Cal Water, a private company, provides drinking water to 40,000 central Stockton homes and businesses. The company has nothing to do with the operation of the city's sewer or garbage collection systems.
So the city will resume billing separately for those.
“We want to focus on what we do best, and that’s providing drinking water,” said John Freeman, the manager of Cal Water’s Stockton branch. “That’s what we want to get back to.”
He said ending the agreement was a “mutual” decision. It had been extended a couple of times until the city emerged from bankruptcy.
In a prepared statement, Ryan Pham, the city’s revenue officer, said it “just makes good business sense for the city to issue bills for city-provided utilities.”
The city supplies water for 55,000 homes and businesses in north and south Stockton. It already has a billing system and customer service employees in place.
So it’s just a matter of placing Cal Water customers in the city’s database, Freeman said. He said residents won’t be much affected by the change, though if they had auto-payment systems in place with Cal Water, they will have to make new arrangements with the city.
The City Council approved contracting out its billing services in October 2001, amid some criticism from residents who felt it was a step toward privatization of the city’s water and sewer systems. At the time, the city’s rationale was that it had been stuck with as much as $2 million in debt each year from unpaid garbage bills.
Asked if the city will have the same problem now that it will resume billing on its own, a city spokeswoman said in an email that the city has worked “diligently” on a collections process that will include sending notices and initiating follow-up calls to those with past-due accounts.

When the Saudi Vision 2030 was launched in 2016 by His Royal Highness Prince Mohammed bin Salman, The Kingdom placed a focus on sustainability which was followed by major investment allocated to environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Since then, countless initiatives have been launched that look toward a greener future and also provide countless professional opportunities in the sector.
The implementation of Saudi’s push toward sustainability began in 2017 with the launch of the King Salman Renewable Energy Initiative. This initiative aims to maximize Saudi’s production of renewable energy. It was then followed by the establishment of the Saudi Investment Recycling Company (SIRC) which is building recycling capabilities and a circular economy to achieve a sustainable future for the Kingdom. It didn’t end there - The Kingdom continued its exemplary progress when King Salman issued a royal order establishing an environmental protection program to ensure the protection of the environment and its resources.
These initiatives were followed in 2020 by the Environment Protection fund established to protect nature in Saudi. This research fund aims to support the environment through investing and supporting environmental programs, studies, and initiatives, that in turn support environmentally friendly technologies.
The Saudi Green Project, launched in 2021, champions climate action at home and abroad. As a global energy producer, Saudi Arabia is committed to advancing the fight against climate change. The Kingdom is already engineering innovative solutions to help combat the climate crisis with an aim to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060. Furthermore, it aims to protect 30% of land and sea, planting 10 billion trees across Saudi and reducing carbon emissions by 278 mpta by 2030.
We can’t discuss sustainability in Saudi without mentioning NEOM. This smart city will be revolutionary, and portrays a model for how we can use energy in better ways. NEOM will utilize solar power, wind technology, green hydrogen, smart energy grids,
and more to create a sustainable environment. Sustainable concepts are at the core of NEOM, from its design and mobility concepts to how it's leading the way and changing the future of food.
Types of Sustainability Projects:
There are many misconceptions about working in sustainability from it only being about the environment, that it’s only a strategy and does not entail tangible actions, to it being very expensive or just being a phase that will fade away. On the contrary, many types of sustainability projects offer promising career paths, such as the following:
Carry the responsibility of protecting the environment by reducing the usage of the elements that cannot be recycled to ensure a healthy and clean environment.
Environmental sustainability helps create a clean atmosphere free of carbon emissions. There are many human activities that cause corruption to the environment and contribute to the annihilation of natural resources on the earth, yet through environmental sustainability, cooperation between humans and the environment takes place in order to protect and preserve natural resources to live in a healthy and sustainable environment.
Social sustainability aims to develop education, health care, and the ability to make decisions that contribute to the development of society.
Education plays an important role in achieving sustainability, whether environmental or otherwise. Through education, it is possible to benefit from the latest technologies by mixing science and technology as one of the most significant means of economic, health, and social development. Education contributes to helping global cultural development and providing the necessary support for it as well.
Developed countries seek to reduce the use of industrial energy and increase the use of natural ones.
Economic sustainability uses different strategies to conserve human and material resources in optimal ways that aim to achieve balance and sustainability through recycling and other sustainable activities to help reform the environment.
Do you want to work in sustainability?
Each project has many interesting job opportunities if you’re the right fit for it. For example, if you would like to be part of the NEOM journey, on their website you can find career opportunities in a wide variety of industries, with development programs that range from internships to coaching for senior staff, enabling its diverse workforce to learn and thrive. The Saudi Investment Recycling Company has a join us section where you can upload your CV and research the initiative you’re interested in.
For those looking to start a career in sustainability, there is no set path, but there are plenty of opportunities. Harvard Business Review says that networking is the best way to get your foot in the door, ‘Networking is a great way to get inspired and discover new areas of interest. There are multiple professional networks on sustainability. Some are global. Some focus on young professionals. Some are designed specifically for marginalized communities or women. Look into these groups, follow their members, and then decide where you want to be.’
This is just the beginning of a new era for sustainability and green-thinking young Saudis can reap the benefits of a burgeoning market.
