Trends Watch: New York City Real Estate
- Jun 11, 2020
EisnerAmper’s Trends Watch is a weekly entry to our Alternative Investments Intelligence blog, featuring the views and insights of executives from alternative investment firms. If you’re interested in being featured, please contact Elana Margulies-Snyderman.
This week, Elana talks with Jonathan Litt, Founder & CEO, Land & Buildings Investment Management.
What is your outlook for real estate?
Real estate is going to benefit from a lower Ten-Year Treasury yield but it will impact various sectors differently.
Single-family homes will be the winners because people are migrating out of the cities, which has been prominent even before the COVID-19 pandemic. Apartments are left in the middle since we anticipate seeing more stress in the income generated from apartment draws. And finally, malls and offices will be the losers.
Specifically, the New York office market is facing an existential “hurricane” and Empire State Realty Trust, which owns, operates and manages many office and retail properties in Manhattan, is expected to bear the brunt of the storm.
Numerous headwinds have weighed on New York office landlords in recent years as rent growth has stalled and values plateaued. A “hurricane” began to form in 2018, as the $10,000 cap on the state and local tax (SALT) income deduction hurt New York’s competitiveness. Things continued to worsen in 2019, as WeWork, New York City’s largest office tenant, began its implosion. Now in 2020, this existential “hurricane” has become a Category 5, as New York City is the epicenter for COVID-19 in the U.S. and Empire State Realty Trust is poised to bear the full brunt of this storm.
In the midst of the pandemic, many companies have begun to question the need for physical office space at all, as the necessity of work from home (WFH) provides a real-time and real-life look into a potential future with fewer workers in offices.
New York City office vacancy could reach 20% or more. During the last two recessions, the vacancy rate increased by 600-900 basis points. Considering that the current Manhattan office vacancy rate is 11.3%, a 20% vacancy rate estimate could actually prove conservative. Moody’s Analytics forecasts national office vacancy rates rising to 20% by 2021 with rents in New York City plummeting as much as 25%.
What trends are expected to continue?
People are expected to continue the trend of moving out of cities and buying homes in the suburbs.
In addition, offices will continue to face challenges. While I don’t think people will WFH forever, once they return to offices, it will be more of a hoteling concept where workers schedule their use of workspaces such as desks, cubicles and offices.
Additionally, a significant portion of New York City office rents and value is derived from the street retail at the base of these assets. Given the multitude of issues with brick and mortar retail tenants, this real estate is likely to see outsized rent and value deterioration.
Finally, nursing homes will also be quite challenged, especially after COVID-19, where the elderly will be reluctant to reside there.
What keeps you up at night?
Inflation comes roaring back after we printed a $4 trillion relief package for assist with the detrimental impact of COVID-19.

Soon, Elusion® will change the world and life as we know it.
A new technology called Elusion is sweeping the country. An app, visor and wristband will virtually transport you to an exotic destination where adventure can be pursued without the complications—or consequences—of real life.
Regan is an Elusion insider. Or at least she used to be. Her father invented the program, and her best friend, Patrick, heir to the tech giant Orexis, is about to release it nationwide. But ever since her father’s unexpected death, Regan can’t bear to Escape, especially since waking up from the dream means crashing back to her grim reality.
Still, when there are rumors of trouble in Elusion—accusations that it’s addictive and dangerous— Regan is determined to defend it. But the critics of Elusion come from surprising sources, including Josh, the handsome skeptic with his own personal stakes. As Regan investigates the claims, she discovers a disturbing web of secrets. She will soon have to choose between love and loyalty…a decision that will affect the lives of millions.
Suspense, thrills, and romance fuel this near-future story about the seductive nature of a perfect virtual world, and how far one girl will go to uncover the truth behind the illusions.
I love books about alternate realities, especially in technology form. Elusion is about the app of the same name, which lets people explore any location on Earth or beyond from the comfort of anywhere. Regan’s father was the inventor of this life-changing program, but he died five months ago and now things seem to be going wrong as the app and devices are getting ready to go mainstream. Regan is desperate to uncover the truth about her father’s invention, but that leads her down a bumpy road paved in even more secrets.
I liked Elusion, but it’s just so…average. It’s light on the Sci-Fi elements until close to the end. Regan is a fine narrator, but she really has no personality to speak of. Josh is a fine love interest, nothing too special about him. The plot moved along at an okay pace, keeping my interest but also leaving me wanting it to get a move on. I don’t know. It’s good. I liked it. It just didn’t go there. It also felt like the first half of a longer book rather than the first in a duology.

Bay Island Forest Lizard (Corphophylax subcristatus)
Mohamed bin Zayed Species project number 12053708
Introduced mammalian herbivores are known to be detrimental to native biodiversity and can alter ecosystem processes, by direct and indirect effects. Island systems are particularly susceptible to the impacts of such herbivores given the predator free environment for the exotic and naivete of natives. Introduced spotted deer (Axis axis), in Andaman Islands, is a potential threat to native forest floor and semi arboreal herpetofauna. In this study, we evaluated the nature and extent of this potential indirect effect on lizards from 2012 to 2014. We sampled for reptile density, arthropod abundance and understory vegetation cover across 12 islands in the archipelago with varying relative abundance of spotted deer. Spotted deer depressed the density of forest floor and semi arboreal reptiles (like the Bay Island Forest Lizard, Coryphophylax subcristatus) by reducing vegetation cover in the understory. This reduction in the vegetation cover could make the Bay Island Forest Lizard and others more vulnerable to predation and/or unfavorably alter the micro environment. The findings revealed an indirect effect of spotted deer on reptile density mediated by structural changes in the understory vegetation. This study provides evidence and impetus for the conservation of endemic and little studied reptiles in small tropical islands of Andamans by the management of spotted deer. *Note 1* - As part of the study, eight experimental plots (exclosures to keep out deer) were set up in the evergreen forests of 4 islands to look at the effect of deer removal on vegetation and lizards. This component of the study is still in progress as long term data is required to comprehend the processes underlying observed patterns. *Note 2* - Native amphibians (e.g. Charles Darwin's frog, Ingerena charlesdarwini - Critically endangered) could also be affected by the change in the understory. This impact of the deer could not be assessed as the sampling could only be carried out in the dry season, leading to extremely low detection of frogs.

From the original Geneva E-Type show car at this year’s Geneva Motor Show on through being an iconic part of this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed, the E-Type will be everywhere.

Hyundai let a troop of 4 & 5 year olds loose on an i30 to test quality Last year, Hyundai let a troop of 40 safari park baboons loose on an i30 to see if, left to their own devices, they could trash Hyundai’s very well bolted together (just ask Martin Winterkorn) i30. It was a clever way to demonstrate that the i30 doesn’t just look good, but is made of a bit more than recycled baked bean cans and Fairy liquid bottles. The i30 came through the baboon test with flying colours (even the company tasked with cleaning it up after the baboons commented on the story that they were impressed by how unscathed the i30 was), but Hyundai has now come up with a quality test that makes the baboon adventure look like a walk in the (safari) park.Fri, 28 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0700

I love musicals. From the Roger and Hammerstein classics to the more modern carnations, musicals have always held a special place in my heart. One particular musical I want to focus on for today’s post is the 2016 film La La Land, written and directed by Damien Chazelle and starring the dynamic duo of Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling.
La La Land was criticized upon it’s initial release by people who did not understand the film, who did not understand the hype. Though set in the twenty-first century, La La Land tells a timeless story that would have greatly appealed to moviegoers from the mid twenty-century. With references to romantic classics like Casablanca, La La Land tells the story of two artists, Mia (Stone), an aspiring actress, and Sebastian (Gosling), a former jazz club owner looking for redemption. They meet on faithful night after Sebastian’s failed gig, but things don’t heat up in their romance until they meet at a party days later where sparks fly for the first time. The two dreamers soon realize that they are in love and they spend every moment together, getting to know each other through some inspired musical numbers. Both Mia and Sebastian want what’s best for the other person and as their careers take them in different directions, they soon realize that may need to forge ahead without the other person.
La La Land doesn’t break any new ground. We’ve seen this star-crossed love story before, but the chemistry between Stone and Gosling and the inspired direction by Chazelle keeps the narrative feeling fresh. In a movie that is about music and following your dreams, it is the script that truly stands out. The final scene in the film, which is a musical montage of what ifs and regrets, is truly one of the best–and most heartbreaking–ending to a film I have seen in years.
I cannot talk about La La Land without mentioning the music. While neither Gosling nor Stone have bombastic, rafter shaking voices, they manage to convey so much emotion and character development in their singing. In fact, I will argue that Stone won the Best Actress Oscar for the “Audition” scene alone. Standouts include “City of Stars,” “A Lovely Night,” and, of course, “Mia and Sebastian’s Theme.”
La La Land was nominated for fourteen Academy Awards and won six, including Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Song. The film famously lost Best Picture thanks to one of the biggest snafus in Oscar history, but it has managed to touch the hearts of millions of movie-goers five years later. I definitely recommend that you check out this movie.

Will Smith is, as of this Sunday, one of those cases that could well serve as a study in a course on new masculinities. Smith, a kind guy, known for roles that in some cases delved into new male models and for speeches that bet on free love relationships, has ended up slapping another man in prime time. The victim, Chris Rock, had just made a hurtful joke about actress Jada Pinkett, the actor’s partner. Will Smith walked purposefully onto the stage, punched Rock in the face, and came back to his seat to yell, “Get my wife’s name out of your fucking mouth.” And this is how Will Smith has embodied better than anyone the role of a liberal type who has learned speech but is not capable of putting it into action.
“The great pending task for men is self-regulation, emotional management and coherence between speech and performance”. It is the phrase with which the equality and masculinity consultant David Kaplún unites what happened at the Oscars with what he observes in activism and in society: men with a learned discourse, in which they believe to a great extent, but unable to self-regulate when key moments arrive.
“The new feminist wave is putting the focus on us, and the issue of masculinities is taking a lot of flight. It is a message that is penetrating from a more cognitive, mental, ideological approach, but not with all the depth that it would require, because this has to do with a change of consciousness, with an attitudinal, emotional, relational change… ”, he explains. Kaplun. This profound change goes beyond knowing how to cry or allowing oneself to show emotions, she maintains, but rather has to do fundamentally with self-regulation: “Knowing when it’s time to listen instead of talking or giving a shit.”
Smith’s attitude connects with that masculinity that ends up reproducing the same model he criticizes, even reaching physical or verbal violence when, for example, another man says something to a friend or partner. Kaplún recalls that a coherent personal context is needed that gives entity to the speeches and even, in the case of the actor, to the characters with whom on occasion Smith has seemed to sharpen paternity or the relationship between men and care .
The new masculinity of always that the journalist and writer Antonio J. Rodriguez spoke of in his homonymous book refers to those “new models of masculinities that do not differ at all from traditional masculinities in the conventional or in their DNA”. “After the importance of all this conversation around feminism, there have been two great reactions: one, the appearance of particularly recalcitrant, reactionary masculinities, and another, the figure of the new masculinities or their synonyms, which apparently are a more noble and that in many cases is in tune with some of the feminist demands, although it is true that in essence they have not changed that much. It marks a kind of before and after, that within the bad is not the worst way but I think that a more radical approach to masculinity implies going further. The last frontier of masculinity for me are two elements that I raise in the book: the renunciation of ownership of the woman’s body, and the renunciation of the permanent state of war with other men”, Rodríguez said in an interview with elDiario.es .
Seen what has been seen, Will Smith has not given up one or the other. For Beatriz Ranea, author of ‘Disarm masculinity’, it is a clear example of that masculinity that, on the one hand, assumes the role of man as protector and that, on the other, resorts to violence as a form of ‘resolution’ of the conflicts that arise, even more so when that conflict occurs with another man with whom in some way a “competition” is established to determine who is more of a man.
“Chris Rock’s comment towards Jada Pinkett is discriminatory and hurtful, it is out of place, but that does not justify that reaction, resorting to physical violence in such a context, in addition, in a gala followed worldwide it has a brutal symbolic load, it transmits that idea of a protective male who violates another to protect his wife”, says Ranea. Will Smith’s subsequent speech, after collecting the Oscar for Best Actor in tears, not only has not served as an apology but has made things worse. Although Smith apologized to the Academy, he justified his behavior with a dangerous argument: “I am overwhelmed by what God is asking me to do and be in this world. I have received the call to love and protect my people. I already know that in this profession we have to be able to suffer insults, put up with people disrespecting us, smile and pretend that nothing is happening (…) Love makes you do crazy things”.
In three sentences, Smith reproduced the discourse that feminism has been fighting for decades. “That story that love leads me to do all kinds of things… It is the usual discourse that justifies gender-based violence under the umbrella of love and passion, it is the legitimization of losing your mind for love because for love everything is justified”, says Beatriz Ranea. In the absence of knowing if Will Smith’s attitude will have any kind of consequences, we can already say several things. One, that a man who has committed a live attack and who has justified it in the name of love has been able to continue attending the gala in the front row, with the only subsequent reproach of a tweet from the Academy. Another, gentlemen, self-regulate.

FOLLOWING his reunion with the band, THE JLS star has announced a solo single featuring a major noughties sample.
The singer recently announced he will be going on tour with his band mates.
Marvin Humes, 37, took to Instagram to announce the release of his new solo single, which will be available next Friday.
He told his fans that he had a "little competition" for them to celebrate the release of the new single.
Fans had to guess which 00s R&B "banger" Marvin has sampled in the new track to win prizes.
He penned to his 747k followers: "What's going on people, so I'm very excited to announce that I'm going to be releasing a brand new single next Friday, can I get a woo!"
He continued: "It's taken a long time to get this song out there because there's a big sample in there from a massive R&B noughties banger. I'm going to play a couple of tunes now and I want you to guess which one it is."
Marvin then took to his DJ decks and played a selection of well-known R&B classics by artists ranging from Cassie to Usher to Snoop Dogg.
Fans flocked to the comments section to enter the competition with their answers and express their excitement for the new single, which will be released next Friday.
One wrote: "Can't wait to hear the tune. Smashing it Marv!"
Most read in Showbiz
Another added: "Yes yes! It's going to be a big one I can already tell."
A third commented: "Whoop Whoop! I'm hoping it's Snoop Dogg!"
A fourth penned: "This is so exciting!"
A fifth wrote: "Oh my god Marvin no way! I can't wait to hear it."
JLS formed in 2007 before they went on the fifth series of the X Factor in 2008.
The boys did well in the competition and placed second to winner Alexandra Burke.
Despite huge UK success, which included five studio albums, six million records in UK, and 10 million worldwide, as well as five MOBO wins and two Brit Awards, they never managed to crack the American market.
A statement on their official website on April 24, 2013, thanked their fans for their continued support.
The hit maker has recently announced he is going back on tour with his JLS bandmates.

But no doubt, she was able to get film for the publicity she gathered. This Gladrags Model got a film named ‘Dhamaal Chowkadi’. Even her contemporary Poonam Pandey got a film.
I will like to pinch film-makers on this. If films are signed by models by just stripping off then ‘strip’ will become mantra for getting films. This will led real artistes into trouble. Tomorrow nobody will ask real artiste. Real artistes will get the lesson of stripping for an earning. I do believe this is an emerging problem for real artistes.
Film should be given on one’s acting skills, not on length of exposure made by the model. Model should be made to go for screen test and auditions wherein real skills to be tested. Models getting into films, means there will be boring films getting released. They will keep audience excited for their stripping off scenes and not for acting. So there will be many spicy films but no such film on which we will like to take lesson from. Surely, films with stripping beauties will not have story in it. So audience will have to just keep on counting number of films released so much so that they will get tired of counting but they will not get the good stuff in it.
‘Those days are gone days when acting was preferred’ will be statement of many.

The thought of Ireland conjures images of green rolling hills, welcoming pubs, and beautiful haunting music that draws inspiration from the soul of the Irish people.
Crescenta Valley residents got to sample that music by Noel Hill, a master of the art of the concertina.
Hill not only shares his music by playing professionally but also has a music school in Conamara where he met Crescenta Valley residents Debbie and Chris Kollgaard. They were there to study with Hill and were so impressed by his music they invited him to La Crescenta.
"This is my first time in Southern California," said Hill. He has been staying with the Kollgaards for about a month. It was through them that the Monday's concert at St. Lukes of the Mountain Episcopal Church was arranged.
Hill began playing as a child in his hometown of Conamara in County Galway, Ireland.
"[Concertina] music was very common in the area where I was raised. It was said that every second house in the county had a concertina," said Hill.
Hill grew up with a strong love of Irish music and tradition. The music he plays comes from Irelands past, handed down generation to generation not through sheet music but from musician to musician.
Audience members Monday were tapping their feet to traditional Irish music. Through Hill's artistry the concertina became a magically bridge to Irelands past and reminded one of the influence the Irish had in America. But it was the slow melodic music that really brought meaning to his timeless skills, inspired by the very heart of Ireland through time of suffering and loss with incredible courage and perseverance. In his hands the concertina is an ambassador between Ireland and the world.
Hill has a new CD available. For information on Hill, his concert dates, or CD sales go to www.noelhill.com.

When Interdimensional Games' Gregory MacMartin tried to fund a new video game called Consortium: The Tower on Kickstarter earlier this year, he failed to raise the $450,000 CDN requested. Starting today, he’s trying again on an upstart crowdfunding platform called Fig that focuses exclusively on games and offers backers the ability to invest or get rewards. To seed the deal, BioWare cofounder Greg Zeschuk, who had introduced MacMartin to Fig, invested thousands of dollars (though he won’t say exactly how much) as the lead investor.
“This is a new twist on the kickstarting concept,” says Zeschuk, who has left the world of games to develop a brewery. “I don’t mind backing it financially if I’m willing to introduce, and the deal is an interesting deal.”
Welcome to the world of crowdfunding 2.0 where new focused and curated platforms are sprouting up that can help potential backers sort through the noise and entrepreneurs cut down on the potential for failure.
San Francisco-based Fig, which was launched last year, offers goodies for smaller backers, as well as securities for larger investors. Unlike other equity crowdfunding sites, however, investors on Fig don’t actually get equity in the video-game companies that seek funding there. Instead, they get “game shares,” which are essentially partipation rights giving them a piece of the revenues from the game. It's a somewhat complicated structure, as detailed in Fig's securities filings, and there are substantial risks for those who choose to invest. While Fig started off with accredited (aka wealthy) investors only, with the JOBS Act crowdfunding legislation it is opening up its platform to regular investors.
Justin Bailey, Fig’s chief executive, figures that 12 to 24 games could raise funds on its site each year. By focusing on a small number of vetted games and spotlighting those, he believes that Fig can cut the failure rate of video-game crowdfunding substantially. At the same time, for those companies it chooses, Fig offers support with marketing, licensing and distribution. “We think it could be like film financing,” Bailey says. “Rewards-based crowdfunding could be cannibalized by investment-based crowdfunding.”
Video games were a big, and early, success on Kickstarter, the grand-daddy of crowdfunding sites, where more than 103,000 projects from a wide variety of industries have raised nearly $2.3 billion. And major campaigns like inXile Entertainment’s for Torment: Tides of Numenera and Obsidian Entertainment’s Pillars of Eternity brought in millions of dollars there. But as campaigns for games proliferated, Bailey says, it’s become harder and harder to get attention from backers and get funded. The failure of Consortium: The Tower – whose developer had crowdfunded $70,000 for the first game in the Consortium series in 2013 – to reach its target was one sign.
“Some of the crowdfunding stuff is landing, some is not, and some is taking a long time,” says Zeschuk. “I think it’s because everyone is doing it where before it was a bit of a novelty.”
Video games are expensive – way more so than this non-gamer realized. A giant game from a top studio can cost over $100 million, and even an indie game can run into six figures. Yet as traditional crowdfunding has become more competitive, Bailey says, developers have begun basing their fundraising campaigns on what they think they can raise rather than on the budget they actually need to produce the game. “It’s become a marketing event,” he says. “They’ll get a PR boost for the campaign, and they’ll act like that is their whole goal.”
Bailey, the former COO of Double Fine, came up with the idea for Fig – named after the Hotel Figuroa in Los Angeles, which is popular with developers – after comparing experiences with others who had used crowdfunding for video games. He got an undisclosed amount of funding from Spark Capital, the high-profile backer of Oculus, Slack and Tumblr, and set up a team of advisors including Double Fine’s Tim Schafer, inXile’s Brian Fargo and Obsidian’s Feargus Urquhart. Fig launched its first campaign last August for an indie space-exploration game called Outer Wilds (which raised $126,000), and followed up with larger campaigns for Double Fine’s Psychonauts 2 ($3.8 million) and Interabang Entertainment’s Jay and Silent Bob: Chronic Blunt Punch ($445,000).
“I immediately got why it [equity crowdfunding] could be powerful,” Fargo says. “I love Kickstarter, but it is harder to get people’s attention each time. A lot of people back a product, and then may not play it, so you can imagine the dynamic that sets in. But making money never gets boring.” In fact, he says, hedge funds are already looking at the Fig platform as a way to invest in specific video games they believe will be successful.
The new campaign for Consortium: The Tower, which takes places in an immense futuristic skyscraper in London starting in the year 2042, is especially intriguing because it fell short on Kickstarter and is trying again on Fig. MacMartin has been working on the game, the second in a planned trilogy, for a decade, and hopes to raise $300,000. “If we just barely make the money, we’ll be accounting for every single dollar. If we’re able to go beyond that, we have extra features we can add to the game,” MacMartin says. “If the world really wants it, we can make it better and better.”
As a start, Interdimensional invited the 4,616 backers who’d pledged on Kickstarter to become super-backers, sending them custom links to transfer their pledges to the campaign on Fig and receive free games forever. If all goes well, he hopes to release The Tower in the spring of 2018.
Time will tell how the campaign goes. But Fig is already worth watching.

Before the semester began and I became inundated with work, I made it out to Atlanta for a weekend! It was my first time in the city, and I had so much fun – I took lots of photos to share too! I’d say that a weekend in Atlanta is the perfect amount of time to spend in the city. In this post, I’m going focus on two can’t-miss activities that you should prioritize if you’re in A-Town.
First up? The High Museum of Art!
If you’re an art history nerd like me, you should definitely check out The High Museum of Art. Actually, you should check it out even if you aren’t! The entire collection is fantastic, but I was especially in love with the Andy Warhol exhibition. Pop art for life! Unfortunately, this exhibition will only be around until September 10th. If you don’t make it out to Atlanta before then, don’t worry! I took photos of some of my favorite pieces:
If brightly colored portraits of Mao aren’t really your thing, there’s plenty of other things to admire in the High Museum of Art. The architecture itself is beautiful, and their modern art collection is fantastic! I spent about two and a half hours total in the museum, but I’d imagine you could easily spend over three if you were really dedicated. After you’ve looked at the all the cool art, go check out Octane Coffee Bar! Their iced mocha was the perfect icing on the cake that was my first day in Atlanta.
After waking up and downing some chicken and waffles on Sunday morning, I did a little exploring around my hotel! I stopped by CNN’s headquarters to see if I could meet Jake Tapper. It turns out he doesn’t record his show there, so that was a bust. I also got a pretty nice view of SkyView Atlanta, which is basically their version of the Orlando Eye!
Afterwards, I headed straight for the second main event of my weekend in Atlanta:
The Georgia Aquarium!
If there’s one thing I love more than art, it’s fish. Sharks, specifically. Lucky for me, the Georgia Aquarium is famous for its sharks! And not just any sharks – whale sharks! The price tag for the Georgia Aquarium is a bit steep, but I’d say it’s worth it. It’s not every day that you can see the largest known fish species in person, after all!
After a pretty quick walk that felt like a marathon in the heat, I made it to the aquarium! First stop? The Ocean Voyager exhibit, of course! After a trip through a shark tunnel (the best invention in history), I finally got to see the whale sharks in all their gigantic glory. You don’t even want to know how many photos I snapped while I was in this exhibit! Here’s some gems:
Besides the whale sharks, there’s plenty more to see at the Georgia Aquarium! Between beluga whales, sea otters, and everything in between, you could easily spend all day here. Pro-tip: don’t miss the penguin march!
In my opinion, the High Museum of Art and the Georgia Aquarium add up to a perfect weekend in Atlanta. I didn’t know what to expect when I planned my visit here, but what I found was a friendly and exciting city with so much to see and do! I’m glad I got to end my summer with a trip to such a neat place, and I’ll definitely be back in the future!
That about does it for this travel blog! I hope you found it helpful if you’re thinking of planning a trip to Atlanta soon. It’s shaping up to be a fairly busy semester for me between classes and my internship, but I’ll be posting as much as I can. In the mean time, drop me a comment if you think I missed out on something in Atlanta, or if you’ve been to the High Museum or Georgia Aquarium! I’d love to hear about your experiences!
Until next time, I hope your September is off to a great start! Autumn, here we come!

Ultimate Nitric Oxide Nutrition is unlike any other nitric oxide formula on the market.
Here’s why we are the most powerful:
• We use the highest dose of arginine (5 grams) and citrulline (2 grams) to create real therapeutic effects that you feel immediately. Cheaper products use a fraction of the amounts of these active ingredients (or none at all) needed to produce tangible results.
• We include pomegranates, watermelon and other fruit extracts that help create nitric oxide via different pathways creating a nitric oxide boost from multiple biochemical reactions in addition to arginine + citrulline.
• We include herbs, minerals, and antioxidants that substantially extend the life of the nitric oxide molecule, creating a long-lasting, powerful, and highly effective time-release effect.
• We include absorption factors that additionally increase the bioavailability of all ingredients.
• All these factors combine to create rapid results that you feel almost instantly and continue to feel throughout each 24-hour period.
• Compared to other nitric oxide formulas, Ultimate Nitric Oxide Nutrition has a superior taste. Our customers love how it tastes!
• Our product is in a unique category of health and sports crossover. People take it for the gym, blood pressure, serious cardiovascular complications, and everything in between.
• Other products may be cheaper, but they are either completely ineffective or only last for a short period of time. At best, they are made to get people through a quick workout or to make them feel better for just a few minutes. Ultimate Nitric Oxide Nutrition lasts for 24 hours and has a therapeutic effect many times greater than cheaper, less potent formulas.
• Clean, tested, GMP certified, oxalate free, and safe for the entire family.
• It just works. Our users regularly tell us that the energy they receive is unmatched. Many have reduced their reliance on dangerous medications and made incredible strides in their personal health.
High Quality, Therapeutic Dosages
Our product costs more than some other nitric oxide supplements on the market, and there’s a good reason for this: we prioritize the inclusion of high-quality ingredients at therapeutic dosages. We want to ensure that our customers get the most benefits from our product, which means we will not compromise on ingredient quality and dosage. Each ingredient is carefully selected and calibrated to deliver effective results. The higher cost is directly proportional to the quantity and quality of our ingredients.
Premium Ingredients and Clinically Proven Ratio
We use a clinically-proven 2:1 ratio of L-Arginine AKG to L-Citrulline, providing more than five grams of arginine (AKG) and over two grams of citrulline. This ratio is found in top-of-the-line nitric oxide supplements, making it more expensive to manufacture but more effective for the user. In addition to this, our blend includes a range of other premium ingredients like vitamins, beet, pomegranate, and more, all designed to support and extend nitric oxide production in the body.
Investment in Health and Wellness
Our focus is not on creating the cheapest option but rather a product that delivers results like nothing else on the market. The right ingredients in the right quantities make all the difference. We firmly believe that you get what you pay for when it comes to supplements. A cheap supplement with ineffective dosages will not provide the benefits that our product can.
Transparency and Integrity
We believe in transparency and integrity, and that includes disclosing our ingredients and their dosages. Many other products may appear cheaper because they use small amounts of key ingredients, making them less effective. We ensure that all our ingredients are in doses that have real, tangible therapeutic effects. This means our customers know exactly what they’re getting, and can trust in the efficacy of our product. Our formula offers value that goes beyond the price tag—it delivers results.
What’s In Ultimate Nitric Oxide Nutrition?
- Vitamin C: This essential vitamin is a potent antioxidant, known for its role in protecting the endothelium—the thin membrane lining your blood vessels—by neutralizing damaging free radicals. It also supports the production of Nitric Oxide (NO) in the endothelial cells.
- Vitamin D3: Vitamin D3 plays a key role in cardiovascular health. Recent research suggests it enhances endothelial function partly by increasing NO production, thereby promoting vasodilation.
- Vitamin E: Another powerful antioxidant, Vitamin E, helps protect the endothelium from damage caused by oxidizing agents. It also supports the bioavailability of NO, prolonging its beneficial effects on the vascular system.
- Vitamin K2 (MK-7): Vitamin K2 helps keep calcium out of your arteries and in your bones where it belongs, thus preserving the health of your arteries and promoting blood flow.
- L-Arginine AKG: L-Arginine is a precursor to NO. It directly contributes to the production of NO in the body, enabling blood vessels to relax and improving circulation.
- L-Citrulline: Like L-Arginine, L-Citrulline is also involved in NO production. It’s converted to L-Arginine in the body, thereby indirectly contributing to increased NO levels.
- Pomegranate, Watermelon, Blackberry, Raspberry: These fruits are rich in antioxidants and help combat oxidative stress in the endothelium, supporting the NO production pathway.
- Hawthorn Berry: This plant extract is traditionally used for cardiovascular health due to its antioxidant properties and its ability to help widen blood vessels, which may involve the NO pathway.
- Horse Chestnut: Known to support vein health and blood circulation, Horse Chestnut may contribute to overall endothelial function.
- Green Coffee Extract: Green Coffee Extract contains chlorogenic acid which has been shown in some studies to improve NO bioavailability.
- Indian Gooseberry: It is rich in vitamin C and antioxidants which protect the endothelium and support NO production.
- Grape Seed Skin Extract: Grape Seed Extract is known for its high antioxidant content which supports endothelial health and helps increase NO production.
- Camu Camu Berry: This berry is one of the richest sources of vitamin C, providing strong antioxidant support for the endothelial cells and NO production.
- Trace Minerals: Trace minerals like magnesium can improve vascular health and enhance NO production.
- AstraGin®: AstraGin® is a patented blend of highly purified saponins isolated from the Astragalus membranaceus and Panax notoginseng plant. It enhances the absorption of various nutrients including amino acids like L-Arginine and L-Citrulline, ensuring optimal availability for NO production.
- Monk Fruit Extract: While not directly involved in NO production, Monk Fruit provides natural sweetness to the supplement without impacting blood sugar levels.
In summary, the ingredients in Ultimate Nitric Oxide Nutrition work synergistically to support NO production, enhance the bioavailability of NO, protect the endothelium, and extend the life of the NO molecule, all contributing to improved cardiovascular health.

They were not used to seeing another race expressing his emotion through rap lyrics. The change in the state of mind for black and white members of the hip hop community were beginning to alter. It was remarkable to learn about the different perspectives black and white members, however to learn about the acceptance of one another was outstanding. Artists have an interesting perspective about hip hop’s relationship to racism, and racial exploitation. Black and white artists have totally different opinions towards hip hop and its relation to racism.
Popular music continues to be a melting pot of styles and is pleasing to many of its listeners throughout the world today. People will always listen to music, music labels, and radio stations will continue to track what songs to which people are listening to for the means of personal satisfaction and entertainment. In the midst of it all, popular music (Pop) will always be the foundational centerpiece in which everything revolves around.
90’s rap appeals to all, ad has a lasting impact on many generations to come. Considerable this could be why 90’s music is sought to be the “Golden age of rap”. With all these factors in consideration, people tend to think 90’s rap added a new flavor never see before, allowing people to enjoy this new sound. 90’s rap had some of the biggest stars, the new sounds, the flashy lifestyles, and the women and money and much more of what people wanted. 90’s rap was more than music, it was a way people could get a message across and still contain a meaningful effect.
These stereotypes cause issues in the business world, encounters with law enforcement and even everyday in the general public. It is unfair that young black men are only seen as statistics or stereotypes by the majority due to skin pigmentation. But as a whole, young black males suffer the consequences of the few imbeciles that play into these stereotypes. Though unfortunate and unfair but it is the duty of young black men to shift these negatives to positives. As well as, not play into these stereotypes and overcome.

And by adding several different groups of people, these bands have some of the most diverse fans out there. Whether it be from animal lovers to the biker gangs rampaging the highways, or from what is considered “normal” people to the heavy metal heads, rock music has brought them together. This also includes people spanning all over the continents of the world! Music brings people together, connecting on the emotional level present in the music. Presenting all of their emotions in their songs offer plenty of aid to the musicians as they attempt to connect with their audiences.
By using rock-based compositions and current themes, Andrew Lloyd Webber can appeal to just about any audience. He has won a great number of awards that most other composers have only dreamed of. Lloyd Webber has also had a good deal of professional artists perform his songs. These qualities in Andrew Lloyd Webber make him a composer who can make a living in this very difficult profession.
These things many people envy and want for themselves. This is why so many people want to change their appearances, weight, and style. Majority are becoming obsessed with some type of brand name item. Everyone hears all the name brands on the radio, on T.V. and what other celebrates are using.
The mid-century Los Angeles was a huge obstacle for many of the races and ethnicities, such as African Americans and Hispanics; it was difficult for these non-white groups to have a lot of rights in comparison to whites. Although these racial groups suffered greatly during the mid-century in Los Angeles, individuals such as Johnny Otis and Little Julian Herrera brought these groups together through their music by unifying them as a whole. By doing so, it provided the communities with some sense of freedom through the music they played. Despite their differences in reinventing themselves through race, they both believed in politics of leisure and unified the racial communities with their interracial alliances through their work of art, which was music. Even though the non-white communities had it rough in the mid-century in Los Angeles, both Johnny Otis and Little Julian Herrera joined the non-white communities as well as their culture.
Imagine being at a concert shouting lyrics at the top of your lungs along beside hundreds of others who enjoy the same kind of taste of music as you do. The power of music connects people from all over the world. When it comes to music, people often express their views, opinions and their feelings. As of today, the combine genre Hip Hop/ R&B has taken over and is now the most popular genre. It became well known that it has entered in today’s fashion and the way we speak.


Both pilots fall asleep on Batik Air Airbus A320 for 28 minutes in a report published by Indonesian authorities.
On 25 January 2024, the Airbus A320 was being operated as scheduled passenger flight from Soekarno-Hatta International Airport (WIII), Jakarta to Halu Oleo Airport (WAWW), Kendari and return. The aircraft was operated by two pilots and four flight attendants.
As the aircraft reached the cruising altitude of 36,000 feet, both pilots took their headsets off and the cockpit loudspeaker volume was increased. The PIC then asked permission to rest from the SIC and was granted. A few seconds later, the PIC slept and the SIC then took over the PIC duty as PM.
The PIC woke up and at 0122 UTC, asked whether the SIC wanted to rest. The SIC responded that he did not want to rest. Both pilots then had a non-related-duty conversation for about 30 seconds and then the PIC continued to sleep.
Around 20 minutes later, the SIC readback a Jakarta ACC instruction. A few moments later, the SIC then inadvertently fell asleep. 12 minutes after the last recorded transmission from the SIC, the Jakarta ACC asked BTK6723 how long the aircraft need to fly on the current heading (250°). There was no reply from the pilots.
28 minutes after the last recorded transmission from the SIC, the PIC woke up and was aware that the aircraft was not in the correct flight path. The PIC then saw the SIC was sleeping and woke him up. About the same time, the PIC responded to the call from another pilot and Jakarta ACC. The PIC advised the Jakarta ACC that BTK6723 experienced radio communication problem and currently the problem has been resolved. The flight then continued and landed at Jakarta uneventfully.

MINNEAPOLIS —The message was simple, but the challenge is difficult.
Cris Carter, when asked on stage by Greg Coleman if he had advice for Stefon Diggs, said, "Catch everything they throw you."
The Hall of Fame receiver, who is the franchise leader in receptions (1,004), receiving yards (12,383) and touchdown catches (110), had just received a new purple sport coat that was presented by the second-year pro as part of a Vikings Ring of Honor jacket ceremony at U.S. Bank Stadium's Delta Sky360 Club.
Just before receiving the new jacket, Carter mimicked the shovel celebration that Diggs sometimes demonstrates, drawing a roar from the crowd.
As part of Alumni Weekend, former Vikings players paid a visit to Winter Park on Saturday.
Carter's fellow Ring of Honor members Bud Grant, Jerry Burns, Fred Zamberletti, Jim Marshall, Bill Brown, Mick Tingelhoff, Carl Eller, Paul Krause, Chuck Foreman, Matt Blair, Chris Doleman and John Randle also were able to attend the ceremony that was part of homecoming festivities.
Diggs, who recently met Carter for the first time, said he enjoyed attending the event that honored "great guys who paved the way and built the foundation of the Minnesota Vikings."
"I call them 'the goats' (greatest of all time), the guys who have been around for a long time and played the game the right way and laid the ground work for guys like me," said Diggs, who has 77 receptions for 1,092 yards and five touchdowns in his first 17 games played.
Diggs was joined by safety Harrison Smith and center Joe Berger in presenting the legends with their sport coats.
Marshall was on the original Vikings team in 1961 when Zamberletti became the team's first athletic trainer. Brown and Tingelhoff arrived a season later. Marshall played a franchise-record 19 seasons, Tingelhoff played 17, Brown was with the team for 13 seasons, and Zamberletti has remained with the Vikings, now as a consultant, for the entire run of the franchise.
As part of the team's Alumni Weekend, the Vikings hosted a homecoming dinner for several former Vikings greats on Friday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
"It's really cool. It just makes you stop and look at the players because I grew up in an era after Bud and Chuck and Alan [Page] and Jim Marshall and Carl, but they were here in town and close to the team," Carter told Vikings.com. "They have all this access to the team and of course, Zamberletti, he was a huge part of my success and being able to get my life turned around, but just seeing all of those intricate parts and the great history we have.
"Now, the history is being celebrated with the new stadium," Carter continued. "We're starting a new chapter in our history, but looking back on our old history, you realize we had some great players, great coaches and great people. That's the only way great things like this happen."
Spielman and Vikings Executive Vice President of Public Affairs and Stadium Development Lester Bagley spoke during the ceremony.
Spielman said when he was reviewing candidates for the Vikings head coaching position in 2014, he set out to find someone who would embody the definition of a Viking. He said Mike Zimmer has done so, and they've worked to line up accountable, tough-minded, resilient and physical players who stay within the rules of the game. Spielman said the current Vikings want to live up to the standards set by great Vikings and make alumni proud.
Tingelhoff, who ranks second all-time in franchise history with 240 starts (behind Marshall's 270), is one example of that accountability. Berger enjoyed the opportunity to present Tingelhoff, a 2015 Pro Football Hall of Fame enshrinee, his jacket.
"It's awesome; he's a legacy around here," Berger said. "What he was able to do, and his durability, the length he was able to play the game, it's amazing."
Berger said he's amazed by the obvious camaraderie between the retired players that has continued beyond their playing days.
"Sometimes, nowadays, you kind of miss that with free agency and moving around," Berger said. "That's kind of how my career started, but it's been nice to land here and be in a place for six years. You definitely kind of get that family feeling."
Grant, who was in high demand for picture requests by former players and Vikings who played after his career as Minnesota's most successful coach, explained the bond in a colorful way.
"Every one of these guys has a big purple stripe right down their backs, and Harrison, Stefon and Joe have acquired that also," Grant said, before adding a robust, "Skol Vikings!"
Smith, who wears the same No. 22 jersey that Krause wore, said the cross-generational bond "starts with a love for the game."
Smith mentioned how much he's enjoyed getting to know Krause, who has the franchise record of 53 interceptions, and Blair, who recorded 16 from his post as a linebacker. The 2012 first-round pick said he has "a tremendous amount of respect" for the accomplishments of past players.
"They had it much harder than we do, as far as two-a-days and practices and wearing pads all of the time," Smith said. "We wonder how they did it year in and year out, just the grind of it. They probably think we're a little soft now, just because we've got it a little easier, so it's kind of fun to go back and forth and hear what they went through and about their game experiences and playing against other greats."
Smith has 12 interceptions, including a franchise-record four returned for touchdowns, in his first five seasons. He was well aware that Krause totaled the all-time record of 81 during his career.
"That's a crazy number, so just being able to meet those guys is a position I never thought I'd be in," Smith said. "It's cool to be around them, hear their stories, get their perspectives. It's kind of like a kid in the candy store."
The Ring of Honor ceremony will be featured in this week's episode of "Vikings: Beyond the Gridiron." The show airs Friday on My 29 WFTC, Sunday on KMSP and re-airs on Fox Sports North.

People looking to the federal EPA to save the country from California emissions standards are actually going to make things even worse.
EPA head Scott Pruitt announced the agency plans to abandon strict national fuel efficiency standards imposed by the Obama administration. The EPA is also considering eliminating a waiver that allows California to impose stricter standards than the rest of the country.
“Cooperative federalism doesn’t mean that one state can dictate standards for the rest of the country… It is in America’s best interest to have a national standard.” Pruitt said.
A lot of conservatives support this move because California is such a major player in the U.S. auto market. Not only that, 15 other states have adopted its stricter standards, and about 40 percent of the market is currently under California’s more stringent fuel efficiency requirements.
Conservatives have fought the agency’s policies for decades, but now that somebody favorable to their point of view has control, they are suddenly hungry for the enforcement of national standards.
Some people argue the federal government can impose national fuel efficiency standards under the commerce clause. But even if the Constitution allows the feds to change things on California, they shouldn’t.
Eventually, if you force a national standard the way the conservatives want, the liberals will be left with no choice but to put all their efforts into doing the same. At some point, you will almost certainly get stricter standards – and they won’t just apply to 15 states.
The smart approach would be to leave these decisions – like most every other – to the will of the people of the several states.
The problem here is pretty straightforward – under the Constitution, the EPA shouldn’t even exist. If it didn’t, there would be no national standard. Every state would set its own requirements.

Мінуси: "I had difficulty checking online, because I didn’t have the right ticket number. By the time I contact you and get the right one all the windows seats or aisle seats in the airplane where taken.

But not only that, there was a passenger seated in the middle seat who was not well and she kept feeling nausea and wanting help but the crew did not know what else to do having asked if there was a doctor on board. But they were not very gentle with her in their responses. I am not sure if this had anything to do with the fact that she was a muslim dressed in traditional gear."
Плюси: "I like Turkish Airlines they have great service. Very good entertainment."
Мінуси: "I was flying from Skopje to Istanbul I got only one hour between the two flights and it was difficult to convince them to let me go through the business line so I can catch my flight to LA."

Плюси: "Staff serving onboard were very nice and food is ok - selection of movies were good"
Мінуси: "On two TK flights in a row today the outlets the TK handed out headphones were sub-quality - and I basically had to sit and manually keep them in place during both journeys to be able to hear something. Truly annoying! Also - for some reason service was done by only one person per aisle which meant I had to wait really long time before getting both food and drinks."

I thought that was fine and I would be able to sit next to the empty seat. But as soon as we boarded they moved a person into that empty seat which i had paid for. It was very disappointing because I have always liked Turkish in the past."
Плюси: "All is good except the airport the service at Istanbul airport are so bad plus the restrooms are so smiling and duty"
Мінуси: "flight canceled , i flew diff, airlines"
Плюси: "The food was amazing."
Мінуси: "Terrible service, unhelpful staff on flight and in airport."
Плюси: "The whole experience was great. After an excellent meal which included drinks before and an excellent wine selection the flt attendants came through and made up a bed for you. This included a cover for the seat, a blanket and a big pillow. As opposed to United where you have to stick your feet in a little cubby the Turkish plane has just an open bench which opens to provide storage and gives ample foot room. I have never slept so much on a flt. Also he bathrooms are much more spacious than others."
Мінуси: "Really nothing."
Плюси: "Impressive design of the cabin, especially the extra large WC. Wonderful staff. Food was exceptional and plentiful."
Мінуси: "Need a bit more leg room in economy. The seat width and cushion was excellent, but when the person in front of me reclined, I could barely get out of my seat."
Плюси: "Crews were friendly, on time take of and arrival. food was good"
Плюси: "Great short flight, even with a meal!"
Мінуси: "Everything was good"

Плюси: "Excellent service. Food was great too!"
Плюси: "Lots of leg room"
Мінуси: "there was no entertainment no pillows no blanket inside of the plane was kind of cold and the flight attendants were quite indifferent to your needs I couldnt lower the number of stars but I give it 1 star all around!!"
Плюси: "Boarding by groups; seat-back entertainment with a lot of recent movies to watch"
Мінуси: "Just a dinner and a breakfast for a 9 hour flight seemed a bit on the short side."
Мінуси: "I did not like that it was a delay from 1 hour with the flight"
Мінуси: "This is the second time in a week Turkish Airlines are delaying my flight with no proper explanation on why this happened. Out of four flights, I had two delayed, and one was rescheduled half an hour ahead of time. Good thing I headed to the airport earlier. Turkish Airlines no more!!!"
Плюси: "Great food, awesome service, great movies, and lots of space. I wish airlines in the States were this good. Nothing else compares."
Плюси: "great movie selection."
Мінуси: "was asked to show up 1 hour before boarding to a "secure area" with 5 different ID checks... however, once in, no restrooms available and boarding took a long time and was delayed."

Мінуси: "Ability to move seats."

Мінуси: "After arrival to budapest not platformy ready and waiting over 10minutes"
Плюси: "Good flight, easy check-in, direct 4 hour flight"
Мінуси: "Seat not inclining."
Мінуси: "boarding process felt like herding"
Плюси: "Is a case of what didn’t I like. When you fly low budget just expect surprises. The small prints are terrible clauses and you will never know when they will get you. Today I was charged £25 on the spot by WIZZ AIR at the boarding gate, even if I disagreed with the charges, I wasn’t prepared to miss my flight W61301 from Warsaw to Luton. There is a degree of unfairness with these impromptu and extra charges. I came on the same flight with the same bag and there was no hassle. I was a soft target and whilst I had no problem with the flight and the service provided, I will not recommend @wizzair. I felt the extra charge was a con."
Мінуси: "WIZZ Air need to be sensible. I travelled from London to Warsaw without any problem and they made a problem on my way back.!"
Плюси: "We had an eventless and safe flight and it was not too cold on the plane."
Мінуси: "There was no paper towel in the toilet, the water for the tee was not warm enough to have tee. We have been told to have 10-20 min delay we arrived much later. And the intonation of the speaking stewardess was so annoying that you could not listen to it :( These are minor things but can change the customer experience."
Плюси: "I did not had a seat"
Мінуси: "I did not had a seat"
Мінуси: "Delay on departure and no bus at arrival"
Плюси: "Once boarding started it was very fast and flight left shortly after"
Мінуси: "Seats are very uncomfortable"
Мінуси: "Space between the seats."
Плюси: "The crew was so helpful and nice"
Мінуси: "I was happy with everything"
Мінуси: "Was delayed"
Плюси: "On time without any delay"
Мінуси: "Never announced for non-priority boarding, so many people were late to flight, causing delays. Much less than minimum leg room required for any normal human. Sat bolt upright with front seat digging into knees for 3 hours. Far from the cheapest ticket, but totally no frills, no food, no entertainment, limited baggage. Wizz Air mobile app barely works when required (for boarding passes, etc) Not enough room in overheads for all the carry on they allowed, had to sit with bag and jacket on my lap for flight, as no room under seat either."
Плюси: "I called flight network and was put on hold for about five minutes, simply to get an answer to the question of the baggage allowance - I didn’t see it anywhere when booking the wiz air ticket. They told me that I was slowed one checked baggage and one cabin baggage that would be charged about €40 if it was over 30 kilos (which it was not). At the airport wizz air said that I had chosen online booking (which I had not) and therefore I had to pay a €30 fee. Also they said I had no checked baggage allowance and was charged an additional €150 !!!!"
Мінуси: "That I wa given false information that cost me a huge amount of money, And that the booking page does not make it easy to add baggage information."
Мінуси: "Did not fly. They wanted $100 to check my bag. I flew another airline."
Плюси: "Got me to where I was going and the airline stewards were polite and helpful."
Мінуси: "Like all budget airlines, Wizzair has low fares and anything else is a nickel and dime game. When did a cup of coffee cost anything? Is this the norm? I would not know. I travel with a musical instrument (guitar) in a soft case. Easily fits in overhead bin compartments. The airline would not allow me to carry it on (only recourse was to purchase a second seat for it). I was forced to pay a baggage fee (around $70 u.s.dollars). For what? To pray it doesn't come back to me damaged? To their credit, it did not..."
Мінуси: "Unconfortable sears. The seats cannot be moved back. The table is too high. I have traveled a lot but never seen tables at this height (above the chest). No entertainment, no wifi, and no food, but that's ok. After all, it's a low cost floght although many other low cost companies have wifi and entertaonments via mobile devices."
Плюси: "The crew was very nice. The flight was ok"
Мінуси: "Not much of a food choice.."
Плюси: "The crew was really nice"
Мінуси: "They are not organized. This company doesn’t have a transparent policy. Because I didn’t checked in on time I had to pay 35 euros. I was there 2 1/2 hours early and I almost missed the flight. I’m extremely upset"
Плюси: "i was able to use their app to download my boarding pass so didn't need to look for somewhere to print my boarding pass while abroad, boarding went well, flight was good and crew was good, seat was comfortable, so overall i was pleased with everything. Thank you for a good experience."
Мінуси: "Everything was good"
Плюси: "Late over two hours due to late arrival of the plane and even so they board us for nothing cauosng us to wait withot bathroom sitta etc."
Мінуси: "No air conditioned 2 hours late Poor ground service"
Мінуси: "Couldn’t check in online. Got to airport to be told I couldn’t fly because fully booked. Still here in Macedonia. The earliest they could fly me back is Tuesday. Absolutely disgusting , fuming !!!!"
Плюси: "Nothing really"
Мінуси: "The staff took ages boarding us because they were obsessed with trying to scalp people for exceeding baggage limits. Nothing free aboard, no entertainment, the seats were uncomfortable too."
Плюси: "Nice crew"
Мінуси: "Both flights were Delaid. It was unorganized in every point, felt like chaos. Ryanair sells same services for cheaper price, so I thought it was overpriced."
Плюси: "I asked for a cup of water for my child and they gave me a bottled water. Then they charged me 2.50 euros. Their credit card processing machine was not working properly, which was frustrating: the flight attendant got frustrated and had to come back again until she can process my payment."
Плюси: "Flight was delayed. I missed my train home to Ipswich. Long journey home ver late at night"
Мінуси: "Flight was delayed by 45 mins, and on board there was no water in the bathroom basins. This was known by staff, but they didn’t warn me as I went in, so I didn’t find out until I had already put soap in my hands"
Мінуси: "My husband was seated in row 2 and I was seated in row 29, even though there were many spare seats in blocks of two and three that we could have been sat in; then I was forced to put my carryon luggage in the hold, meaning I had to wait ages at the baggage reclaim on arrival, and was late for my air BnB check in. When I booked my flight I deliberately chose not to check any luggage, spent time planning what to take so that it would fit in a carryon bag, and measured out my liquids into small bottles so that they passed the liquids restrictions: all effort and time spent in vain due to Wizz Air. I was furious!"
Плюси: "Mobile app is very good, but just allow you to download boarding pass on PDF version right at the moment of the check in"
Мінуси: "They didn't let me flight. Even that I did the online check in 24 hours before they didn't send me the boarding pass on PDF format via email. Also there were no way to download it from the mobile app or the website. I was in the airport 2 hours before and they didn't want to print it for me even that I showed all the online check in confirmation. They requested that I pay €35 Euro for the airport print. I submitted a complain and hope to get a credit or refund. Confirmation code: L3QZWB"
Плюси: "Excellent pilot"
Мінуси: "Man at the checkin did not have a clue that WIZZAIR flight was delayed at 05/04/2018. I missed meeting with my family. Waited for a long time at boarding gate."
Мінуси: "standing 1 hour in the bus before boarding,than telling you that will be 90 minutes late take off"
Плюси: "Pleasant staff."
Мінуси: "Plane was late and all passengers had to wait at the gate. Too many people for such a small area for that length of time."
Мінуси: "Very very routh unprofessionally and disrespectful check in person . I did not receive by boarding pass through the email and was charged with 35 euros to have my boarding pass printed ! The clerk raised his voice and was disrespectful to me and other customers. The flight itself was ok, nothing special but not bad either."
Мінуси: "hot on the plane"
Плюси: "Crew very friendly."
Мінуси: "I had no what so ever notice that an online check in is required during my booking ,therefore i had to pay a 35 EUR fine for airport check in . Moreover , on the way back we had a long delay from Luton to Kosice without informing us about this delay and the reasons ,expected time of flight..."
Плюси: "grea air line always on time staff are friendly"
Мінуси: "Priority: advantage only on call. Afterwards no adantage afterwardsroom for hand luggage"
Плюси: "Cooperative and kind crew. Excellent service. Pleasant flight, great landing and take off."
Мінуси: ""Wizard of Oz Airlines" I'm surprised the pilots didn't ask for another hidden fee! Please book a full fair on a major carrier instead of hidden fee fiasco at the airport. headaches before a flight. Keep in mind no wizz staff to talk to before flight or in Budapest. Private contractors from airport do all the check in process and departures."
Мінуси: "Arrived at the airport 2 hours before departure, I was not aware you can't checkin at the airport and need to pay 30 euros for it. The treatment and the attitude from the personnel at the check in counter was rude, they were short and unkind The staff member in charge of charging for checking was incredibly slow, there were 4 people in line including me and it took her 40 minutes to charge me the 30 euros This was after I already stood in line for the ticket for another 30 mins I almost missed my flight due to their poor handling"
Плюси: "Nice clean plane, friendly airline staff (as friendly as they get, we all know how they have that teflon attitude), OK food, I sat between 2 Bulgarian passengers which were very well behaved, one screaming baby nearby (as there always is) and no-one playing football with the back of my seat all the flight (you know who you are - hope someone does it to you), and no-one fidgeting all flight so all in all a good experience."
Мінуси: "Bit slow in opening the gate for people to get on. They expect to cram you like sardines on a hot staircase with no where to go when there is other people being checked in to board behind you, really stupid and possibly sadistic."
Плюси: "The plane and crew from Pilots to Flight staff more than perfect. We was kept informed all the way as take off was perfect, and the landing at London Luton was the best have ever had as you normally land land then get an extra hard heavy jerk to slow us down extra hard braking. The Pilots of W6 4503 on 23rd of August 2017 is a credit to your company as they landed without the extra hard braking you normally get. Those pilots both of them should teach the other pilots's of your company how both of the pilots did it, and even teach other airline pilots the same IT WAS A VERY SMOOTH LANDING. Give the pilot's a commendation or an award as I would like those pilot's on any of my flights I have in the future. You can let them know it was me that told you to credit them in the highest award they can get please. Let their bosses, and company owners know this as well. So maybe if you call them in the office for something PLEASE CREDIT THEM for the PERFECT LANDING MORE THAN A CREDIT TO YOUR COMPANY as I put that ion bold to enforsize a perfect landing."
Мінуси: "I was in 24B middle seat which was very cramped as the seat too small and back of seat too low, knee area not enough, no chance of getting to sleep as you cannot get comfortable enough as you cannot even sleep on the tray, kids screaming all around me, people behind me kept kicking moving my seat, people in front of me too loud Bulgarian's. At Varna airport me and others queued up in check in 2 and 3 patiently, and after about 20 minutes queuing two people jumped the queue in check in 1 as the second guy I had to tell him we have been waiting you cannot jump the queue and to go to the back of the queue, and a guy walked straight into check in 1 before check in 2 and 3 was opened and got his bag done, and a big group of people with prams etc was not even in check in lane 1 where they was sorted out well before us queuing as they just turned up and got there bag etc slips on the prams etc. A lot of the information on board was in Bulgarian and not in English only a very small thing NOT TO BLAME THE PLANE STAFF in any way."
Мінуси: "The flight is late from tlv to luton and from luton to tlv."
Плюси: "The crew in the plane"
Мінуси: "The quality of service in the boarding, Modified types of cabine bags, practically you have to bring one change of clothes an nothing else in order to fit for the standards of the "small cabine luggage" . The boarding crew was very rude"
Плюси: "I like the bubbly upbeat attitude of the flight attendants interacting excellently in English and other languages and also how they dealt with an angry passenger."
Плюси: "Good comfi flight with great crew and service"
Мінуси: "The bus at the landing without a/c and it was hot as hell"

Togeun used to work for his father’s company without any passion, so he quits his job and moves out from his parents’ house in order to follow his dream in drawing. At the homecoming party (reunion party), Togeun begs Sonagi, a great illustrator, to teach him how to draw.
Yeah I wasn't really getting anything out of this webtoon than I did with "The stories of those around me". I felt the story was just bland and characters weren't developed properly in my personal opinion...
The cover does no justice to this tale, because it seems really shounen. But this is not shoujo either A light comedy with a good plot with a sprinkle of plot twists. No, not rich peeps. Struggling middle class dude and her, how she ends up being his Assistant/mentor (I forgot) and their life in the tint apartment. The neighbours add the comedy to it. Not to miss it, because the plot towards the end gets heavy and confusing; but worth the read Bu the same author of - Stories of Those around us.
