The American dream of retirement is one that millions of Americans hold. For decades, most people assumed that they would find a well-paying job, work at it for decades, and retire with a comfortable pension. But that type of work has become far less common, with many more workers now finding that they have to be dependent on themselves to fund their retirement dreams. Even those who are promised pensions increasingly find that the promises they thought were ironclad are now anything but.
Fewer Americans Have Pensions
In 1960, about half of the private sector workforce had a pension. With an economy booming in the post-World War II era, it was assumed that the era of high growth would last forever. But after the stagflation of the 1970s and the high interest rates of the early 1980s, more and more employers began to drop their pension plans and shift the responsibility for retirement saving onto their employees. Thus began the age of IRAs and, later, 401(k) plans.
Today only about 15 percent of the private sector workforce has a pension plan, many of them legacies from bygone days. You’re more likely to find pensions among government workers, mostly schoolteachers and state-level employees. Even the federal government phased out the most generous portions of its pension system when it switched from CSRS to FERS in 1987.
Pensions Are Just a Promise
At the end of the day pensions are just a promise to pay. If the money isn’t there to fulfill those promises, then retirees are out of luck. And with pension plans assuming long-term growth of 8% or more, and stock markets only having produced 4-5% growth so far this century, more and more pension plans are finding themselves short on money.
Many pension plans are trying to convince their retirees to take lump sum payments or annuities rather than having to pay them income for the rest of their lives. In the worst case scenario, the plans default, leaving retirees dependent on the federal government’s Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC). Last year PBGC paid out $5.6 billion to 868,000 retirees who belonged to failed pension plans. The likelihood that more and more retirees will need to be paid by PBGC will likely only increase in future years as more and more pension plans become underfunded.
Social Security Isn’t a Given
Some retirees may believe that they can count on Social Security to cover the shortfall, but even that isn’t guaranteed. Remember that Social Security isn’t a retirement plan, it’s a direct transfer welfare system. The taxes paid by current workers are transferred to pay the benefits received by current Social Security recipients.
For years the amount of Social Security taxes received was higher than the amount of benefits paid, and that excess money was placed in a “trust fund.” Of course, that money didn’t just sit there. It was swept up by the federal government to pay for its extravagant spending, with the money replaced with non-marketable government securities. And now with Social Security benefits exceeding the amount of Social Security taxes paid, that trust fund is being rapidly depleted.
The most recent estimate is that the trust fund will be completely depleted by 2034. When that occurs, Social Security taxes will only bring in enough money to pay less than 80% of promised Social Security benefits. So don’t be surprised if 15 years from now you’ll receive a Social Security check that is 20-25% less than you expected. If you’re planning on relying on Social Security to any extent, you’ll need to change your plans to make sure that you aren’t going to suffer from an eventual shortfall of funds.
Prepare to Be on Your Own
All of that means that now, more than ever, workers need to save for themselves if they’re going to be able to afford to retire. Whether that’s taking part in an employer-sponsored 401(k) plan, opening up an IRA account, or investing through a brokerage account, it’s up to individuals now to make sure they save enough money to ensure a comfortable retirement.
But the old standby of investing in the stock market isn’t the sure bet that it used to be. The bull market of the 1980s and 1990s got investors used to double digit returns year after year. But those types of long-term returns disappeared a long time ago. And while the stock market has had a tremendous run the past two years, the recent uneasiness has many investors on edge.
With interest rates pushing ever higher and stocks looking to drop, mainstream investment assets don’t have a very rosy outlook. Investors need to start looking towards alternative assets such as gold if they want to maintain their retirement portfolios. Gold has had nearly double the growth rate of stocks this century, 9.6% annualized returns versus 4.8% for the Dow Jones and 4.1% for the S&P 500. And since gold performs well when stocks and bonds don’t, it’s the perfect asset to invest in when the outlook for financial markets is grim.
Even better, you can invest in gold through a gold IRA, offering the same tax benefits as a traditional IRA and allowing you to roll over existing retirement assets tax-free. So if you’re looking to protect your existing retirement portfolio, or looking for a safe haven asset to invest in over the coming years, you owe it to yourself to think about investing in gold.

Is the Dawn of Mass Crypto Adoption Near?
The cryptosphere is one step closer to going mainstream, thanks to a March 9 US executive order. While most of the executive order (EO) is a collection of redundancies, hot air and legalese, it marks an important milestone for broader cryptocurrency adoption in the US.
What the Executive Order Lays Out
The EO states the case for the United States government to invest in the research and development of digital assets and blockchain technology. Specifically, it states how the advancement of these technologies has led to “dramatic growth in markets for digital assets, with profound implications for the protection of consumers, investors, and businesses.” And with a market cap of around $3 trillion, the value of digital assets has simply become too big to be ignored.
The EO also brings up the possibility of developing a central bank digital currency (CBDC): a fully digital US dollar issued by the Federal Reserve. A CBDC could support more efficient and low-cost transactions, and transform the wider banking industry. Of course, like a lot of official documents, the EO takes over 5,000 words to say “more research must be done.”
As for what should be researched and who will be involved in the government R&D for digital currencies, the EO outlines this in somewhat greater detail. A lot of government departments are name-dropped here: the Department of State, the Attorney General, the Department of Energy, the Department of Labor, the Department of Homeland Security, the EPA… the list goes on.
The sheer number of departments that are to be involved in this research just goes to show how much a broader adoption of cryptocurrency could change things, and it’s not just a matter of finance. It’s also a matter of technology, of law, of security, of energy… The US government seems to finally be taking crypto seriously.
The EO also outlines timelines for the R&D of a CBDC and digital asset regulation among various departments. Deadlines are set from 120 days to a year, but we know how inefficient the government can be, especially in the case of technology. So I wouldn’t expect much movement on this in the coming year.
This EO is major not so much because the US government is going to start doing anything about cryptocurrency and NFTs; rather, it has now acknowledged their growing significance. And if the US does move forward with developing its own CBDC, that could lead to other countries following suit.
A Focus on the Risks
However, the EO puts more emphasis on the most common criticisms of cryptocurrency — namely, its environmental impact and its use for illegal activities — referring to them as areas for more research and assessment.
In fact, when discussing the implications of crypto, the term “risk” is among the most frequently used keywords in the Executive Order, at 47 times. “Illicit,” referring to illegal activities, occurs 24 times. “Benefits,” on the other hand, appears only six times. So while the potential upsides will be explored, the EO focuses more on risk. Perhaps in part because of the negative publicity surrounding cryptocurrency (namely, scams) the last few months.
This word cloud done by Chair of the Kin Foundation William Mougayar offers a helpful visual representation of the most common keywords used in the EO.
The Crypto Community Reacts
While the crypto community is truly global, the United States is home to a large swathe of the community and some of its most influential figures. Not to mention the fact that the United States is the largest economy in the world and a major global power. So the fact that the government is taking an official stance on looking into crypto is pretty damn significant.
Jerry Brito, the Executive Director of crypto think tank Coin Center, stated Wednesday on Twitter that he saw the EO as the federal government acknowledging cryptocurrency as a “legitimate, serious, and important part of the economy and society,” rather than as dangerous. This stance will reassure and encourage people to get involved in the cryptosphere.
Others in the crypto space also expressed optimism at the EO, including Cameron Winklevoss, Uniswap Labs, and cdixon.eth. The crypto market also responded positively to the news, with Ethereum value up 6.62% on March 9.
But this is the internet, and we’re talking about a community based almost entirely online here. There’s bound to be dissent. Investor and entrepreneur Robert Kiyosaki was among one of the more out-there negative reactions, claiming that the EO was signaling the beginning of government crypto. Others, such as Bitcoin investor Mark Moss, questioned the government’s commitment to privacy.
Overall, however, Crypto Twitter has reacted positively to the Executive Order as an acceptance of crypto’s legitimacy as both technology and financial instrument.
Of course, while much was said in the EO, little will be done anytime soon. The community will have to wait and see what comes out of the research. What it will mean for crypto in the future remains to be seen.
With so many crises going on at the moment, the government probably won’t move fast on this. But with the US government publicly acknowledging crypto’s legitimate potential, other countries may follow its lead. Whether you appreciate government support or abhor it, mass adoption of crypto may soon be on the horizon, after all.


Arsenal’s victory over Manchester United revived dimming hopes of lifting the title. A week later defeat to Stoke City ensured the flickering embers have finally been extinguished.
The result does not come as a surprise in light of previous defeats, and the Britannia Stadium served up another on Sunday as FA Cup finalists Stoke romped to a 3-1 victory. Arsenal’s performance lacked fire and the spark of creativity to unlock the Potters’ resolute defence as Stoke put on a master class of how to expose Arsenal’s vulnerability, working hard without the ball and asking questions of the opposition every time they were in possession.
Nor does the result surprise when considered in context of Arsenal’s season as a whole. A morale-boosting victory over the league leaders and Champions League finalists last weekend was promptly followed by a crushing defeat one week later. This inconsistency is symptomatic of Arsenal’s season as a whole and explains why they find themselves wanting in the race for the title. This has been true throughout the season, with hard-fought wins over Blackburn Rovers and Bolton Wanderers in August followed by a draw with Sunderland and defeat to West Bromwich Albion. A dramatic last-gasp winner against West Ham at the end of October was promptly followed by home defeat to Newcastle United in November. An away win at Everton preceded a home defeat by Tottenham Hotspur and victory over Chelsea led to a draw with Wigan Athletic. Throughout the season the Gunners have been consistently inconsistent.
Sunday’s match highlighted the key factors in their lack of consistency, with the opening goal illustrating their main weakness. When questioned on his side’s defensive record prior to the match, Arsene Wenger responded: “If you look at the numbers, we conceded less goals from open play than any other team in the league.” Whilst true, this ignores the fact his side have conceded the most goals from set pieces in the league, a flaw all too evident as Kenwyne Jones bundled home a Stoke corner. Jermaine Pennant’s deflected strike owed a lot to fortune, but also highlighted the lack of leadership within the defensive ranks. With no-one taking responsibility to close the winger down, he was allowed to run unchallenged towards the goal. Johan Djourou’s desperate lunge was too little too late and only served to divert the ball away from the despairing Wojciech Szczesny.
Arsenal’s lack of variety allowed Stoke to stifle and Robin van Persie’s direct run and drilled finish only emphasised the predictability of the Gunners’ play up to that point. Arsenal finally clicked on a frustrating afternoon only for the deficit to be restored within a minute as Jonathan Walters’ strike summarised the defensive fragility and lack of concentration that has cost the Gunners dear this term. 2-0 up and coasting against Spurs, the Gunners eventually lost 3-2, and they surrendered a four goal half-time lead against Newcastle, showing Sunday’s collapse had precedent.
Despite these setbacks, Wenger’s men remained in the hunt for the title, but a lack of variety against Sunderland and Blackburn and the concession of avoidable penalties against Liverpool and Tottenham saw them fade away. Whilst these myriad flaws persist, the trophy drought looks set to continue for Wenger’s men.

For the Ukrainian consumers it makes no difference what gasoline to buy, domestic or imported.
This commentary, ГолосUA said the ex-President of the “Association of oil market operators of Ukraine” Leonid kosyanchuk.
“Because the prices of domestic producers sometimes higher imported. So to predict something here, we can’t. I’m not even talking about the market factor that regulates the market, it’s supply and demand, but he is not involved”, – the expert added.
According to him, today there is no reason to say that in Ukraine the price for fuel is economically justified.
“Because if the average European spends on their vehicles for daily use from two to 12% of their salary, we have more than 60%, if we take the average salary in Ukraine”, – concluded Leonid kosyanchuk.
As reported, the first week of October spoiled the mood of the Ukrainian drivers: five days of fuel at the pump has risen on the hryvnia. Thus, according to the consulting group “A-95”, the average cost of gasoline A-95 went up from 32.08 UAH/l to 33.03 UAH/liter. Maximum price tags were even higher. For example, in some networks of stations a liter of A-95 costs UAH of 35.49.

MATARAM (Indonesia) • At least 10 people were killed in powerful quakes that rocked the Indonesian holiday island of Lombok, the authorities said yesterday, in a fresh blow just weeks after earlier tremors left hundreds dead and thousands more homeless.
The latest quakes struck on Sunday, with the first measuring 6.3 in magnitude shortly before midday. It triggered landslides and sent people fleeing for cover as parts of Lombok suffered blackouts. It was followed nearly 12 hours later by a 6.9-magnitude quake and a string of powerful aftershocks.
The picturesque island next to holiday hot spot Bali was already reeling from two deadly quakes on July 29 and Aug 5 that killed nearly 500 people.
Ten people were killed in the strong quake on Sunday evening, mostly by falling debris, including six people on the neighbouring island of Sumbawa, according to the national disaster agency.
Two more Lombok residents died of heart attacks after the morning quake, while some two dozen people were injured and more than 150 homes and places of worship were damaged, the agency said.
Tens of thousands of homes, mosques and businesses across Lombok had already been destroyed by the earthquake earlier this month.
Most people caught in the latest tremor were outside their homes or at shelters when the latest quake struck, which kept the number of casualties low, said National Disaster Management Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, adding: "The trauma because of the earlier quake on Sunday (morning) made people prefer to stay outside."
Mr Sutopo said yesterday that relief and reconstruction efforts have been "intensified", including the rebuilding of public facilities like hospitals and schools.
Aid agencies vowed to boost humanitarian assistance on the island as devastated residents struggled in makeshift displacement camps.
Video images from an evacuation camp in Lombok showed children and adults taking cover inside makeshift tents.
"The population feels like it's had the rug pulled from under them with this new quake," said Ms Caroline Haga, a humanitarian and emergency communications specialist with the Red Cross.
Sunday's tremors were also felt on Bali but there were no reports of damage there.

The Most Pro-Life President in History
Last night, in an historic moment for the pro-life movement, former abortion-worker turned pro-life activist Abby Johnson passionately advocated for life during her speech at the Republican National Convention…
“This election is a choice between two-radical anti-life activists and the most pro-life president our country has ever seen.”
Abby, who as a Planned Parenthood Director witnessed the heartbreak and violence of abortion firsthand, understands that in order to protect unborn babies from that gruesome fate, we must remain focused to elect proven pro-life leaders like President Trump.
President Trump’s pro-life policies are paving the way for us to overturn Roe v. Wade and end abortion. Since taking office, President Trump has…
- Reinstated The Mexico City Policy, which keeps the U.S. from paying for abortion overseas
- Stripped Planned Parenthood of over $60 million through strengthened Title X requirements
- Became the first President to attend the March for Life
- Vowed to only appoint Supreme Court Justices who respect the value of every life
President Trump’s unwavering commitment to the cause of life is refreshing, and a sign that with strong, pro-life leadership, our nation can save helpless babies and end abortion. But the next four years are critical to our movement. With the possibility of a new Supreme Court Justice on the horizon, and with the Democratic Party pushing their most radical pro-abortion candidates ever, we must remain focused. We must vote our pro-life values if we ever expect to be able to implement them.
Ohio Right to Life is proud to stand behind a President who isn’t afraid to act on his pro-life beliefs and will continue to put in the work to stop the violence perpetuated against the innocent unborn.
We are proud to support the most pro-life president in history.

“Sometimes I forget what it is to be fully human. With all the consciousness, potential, diversity of emotions playing within, embodied physicality changing and shifting constantly, vulnerability that we sometimes push aside into a dark closet lest fear take the upper hand…..and the innate interconnected presence with everyone and everything. It is in those moments of forgetfulness that wonder, courage, presence and joy may recede into the background. is it possible…..”
“At times we are faced with challenges where the energies of love and gratitude seem a million miles away. Thinking takes over contracting us within a cage of our own creation. Yet, I am aware more and more that love is always right here surrounding every living being and every conscious action – even the act of breathing in and out which is intricately interwoven with all life. What if we saw within each and every challenge….”
“Shifts and transitions are continually happening even if we don’t pay attention – within and without. Energy constantly shape shifting bringing magic and tragedy, delight and sadness, awe and forgetfulness. Are we paying attention, or lost in the mundane mainstream detailed oriented life we actually have never felt at “home” within.”….
“Many of us find ourselves domesticated. Adhering to the demands and expectations, not only of our society and culture, but from our own deeply grooved patterns of thinking that formed over the many years we have inhabited this lifetime.
When we reach elderhood – a state of being, not an age – we take stock of who we have become and perhaps question where the wild, free, playful and passionate one is hiding….”
Have you ever reflected on the many twists and turns your life has taken as an embodied human being? Even in one of my all time favorite movies, The Wizard of Oz, the infamous yellow brick road twists and turns and along the way Dorothy meets each new character that will help her to return “home”……
“Have you ever thought about quality of life moments versus years lived? For some it is when death touches us that we allow ourselves to contemplate, and come closer to, the relationship with our own potential death and that of our loved ones. The unique choices we will make when embodied time is drawing to a close…..”
Living an authentic unsettled life. “We are constantly given opportunities to be lead by curiosity, take risks, and steward the emergence of our own unique expression, artistry and imagination.”
“Embodied transparency is learned through uncovering layers of self deception and carefully constructed identities that no longer serve us. When we are ready to create another layer, informed by all those below, we step over the threshold from a liminal creative in-between-space into surrender and trust. “
“Were we taught to prepare for life (or death) instead of living it?”


U.S. teen suicide attempts fell as same-sex marriage became legal
Work helps identify how laws limiting gay rights may affect psychological, physical health, researcher says
Teen suicide attempts in the U.S. declined after same-sex marriage became legal and the biggest impact was among gay, lesbian and bisexual kids, a study found.
The research found declines in states that passed laws allowing gays to marry before the U.S. Supreme Court made it legal nationwide. The results don't prove there's a connection, but researchers said policymakers should be aware of the measures' potential benefits for youth mental health.
Suicide is the second-leading cause of death for all U.S. teens. Suicidal behaviour is much more common among gay, lesbian and bisexual kids and adults; about 29 percent of these teens in the study reported attempting suicide, compared with just 6 percent of straight teens.
Laws that have the greatest impact on gay adults may make gay kids feel "more hopeful for the future," said lead author Julia Raifman, a researcher at Johns Hopkins' Bloomberg School of Public Health.
The measures also could create more tolerance and less bullying, making these teens feel less stigmatized. Those effects could also benefit straight teens but more research is needed to determine how the laws might influence teen behaviour, Raifman said.
The study was published Monday in JAMA Pediatrics.
- 1 in 5 Canadian teens has considered suicide: Kids Help Phone
- High anxiety, distress levels in teens counter 'prime of life' image
The researchers analyzed data on more than 700,000 public high school students who participated in government surveys on risky youth behaviour from 1999 through 2015, the year the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage.
Overall, 26,252 students reported being gay, lesbian or bisexual. The surveys didn't ask about transgender status. They included questions about suicide attempts, smoking and alcohol or drug use.
In 32 states that enacted same-sex marriage laws during the study, suicide attempts dropped 7 per cent among all students and 14 per cent among gay kids after the laws were passed. There was no change in suicide attempts in states without those laws.
The study only included suicide attempts, not deaths.
- Youth reaching for mental health care find a 'big gap' in delivery
- Talking about suicide without proper supports can be dangerous, experts say
The new work makes an important contribution to identifying how laws limiting gay rights may affect psychological and physical health, said Columbia University public health researcher Mark Hatzenbuehler.
But more research is needed to determine which teens are most vulnerable to policies that limit gay rights, he wrote in an accompanying editorial.
- In a story about same-sex marriage laws and teen suicides, The Associated Press, relying on figures published in a JAMA Pediatrics study, reported erroneously the number of surveyed students who said they were gay, lesbian or bisexual. Johns Hopkins researcher Julia Raifman says that the number was 26,252, not about 230,000.Feb 21, 2017 4:14 PM ET

🔮 Peek into the future:
Another shape and form
Stop, Drop and Cop
Spoonful of News
Come on in, the water’s warm, you know you want to!
Formats, They Are a-Changing!
Shapeshifters is brought to you by the following —the letter S, the number 35, Snaxshot Broadcasting Service and viewers like you. Greetings once again and welcome to this semi orderly aggregation of whimsical cogitations. This week, let’s talk about how food and beverage are being presented in different formats, whether it’s convenience, sustainability, a new application, quality, or all of the above, one can’t deny there’s shapeshifting happening all around.
This isn’t novel per say, think late 1800s, to feminist literature, American suffragette Mary Elizabeth Lease predicted that 100 years into the future (so like 1993) synthetic food would free women from the kitchen (Lunchables were created in 1989, so IMO she was spot on) —around the same time this satire by social conservative Anna Dodd, titled, The Republic of the Future (1887) was published, in it she mocked the idea of women no longer spending time preparing meals, it is set in New York in the year 2050, a passage from the book reads “When the last pie was made into the first pellet, women’s true freedom began.” Jokes on her because most women in NYC use their oven as storage anyways, juuuust kidding?
The idea of meals and beverage taking more compact forms also stems from scarcity, think 1930s depression and post war era, fears that as population grows food would become less abundant was met with techno optimism —if man can use technology to destroy, it can also be used to create. An example of this could be seen at the 1933 Chicago World Fair, “Century of Progress” the motto being "Science Finds, Industry Applies, Man Adapts" —the idea being that food should act as sustenance only, more of a utilitarian take, versus a way of entertainment. By the 1960s, this more dystopian view was set aside and as Space Age boomed, so did the idea of us having extravagant, á la Jetson meals, in the same compact manner.
Here’s a fun fact —Pillsbury was actually commissioned to create a snack that could be taken to space, enter the Space Food Sticks which seems to be sort of an iteration of the modern snack bar. “The snack had to be small enough to go through a small airtight opening in the helmet -so the rod-shaped food sticks were born” —this same period of time gave rise to powder drinks aimed towards children, Tang for example, a dry drink that can be rehydrated?! But did you know this is also the reason why people dunk baked goods into coffee?
Let’s rewind, this behavior stems from Romans wanting to preserve food, so they would cook the bread twice, this is also where the word biscotti comes from, the latin biscotus, twice baked. In order to be able to eat it without breaking all your teeth, they would dip it in wine to rehydrate the bread (this was before coffee or tea were available in Europe) which is interesting behavior considering that the sacrament in Catholic Church involves a wafer dipped in wine?! THINK ABOUT THAT! Anyways, around the mid-century, the British used the same technique to preserve food while on long voyages, just that they used beer instead of wine, and so fast forward to our times, we literally have Dunkin Donuts.
Back to the 60s, air travel was also quite popular, the rise of microwavable TV dinners that inspired airplane meals and so for, less of a dystopian version of us being disconnected from food source, but also still with the fear lingering on whether or not we can continue to sustain a growing population, we embraced the shapeshifter movement. Not only that but we have strived to bring forth this prophetic vision, back in 2010, Time magazine labeled the concept of “meal in a pill” as a failed food prediction, but I can confidently say, a decade later, we may be closer to achieving this than we thought, we now have entire meals in tiny squares and wearable vitamins, who’s laughing now science!?!!!!!! Let’s dive into some great examples now, with the help of some tiny friends you might have seen around now, trust me don’t get too cozy with them because they can be a bunch of assholes when they want to, be forewarned.

Cometeer: Frozen tablets of coffee that dissolve into water to give you a fresh cup of coffee in the morning, the technique they use helps preserve quality the best, not to mention its a more sustainable approach than pods. The company recently announced raising $35 M to expand their mission, I’ve personally tasted it and it’s mind blowing how good it actually tastes? I’ve tried both with warm water and making it as iced coffee.
Tea Drops: This company was established back in 2015, female founded and has amassed incredible success, the concept is simple, bagless tea that dissolves into your drink, recently raised $5 M in series A. Personally have also tasted this and was pleasantly surprised to find it did not comprise taste, though it did take a bit to dissolve if the water isn’t seeping hot.
waterdrop: Born out of Vienna, waterdrop has similar concept, they call themselves a “micro drink” or drinkable water tablets (I call it Alka-Seltzerization of drinks lol) they’ve garnered enough success to quickly expand to UK and most recently entering the US market. Also relying heavily on sustainability messaging.
Livin Kombucha: This is where I’m drawing the line lol, add powdered kombucha to the list of “Why is this needed?” but wanted to include here because this concept though not novel, seems like they may be the first to give it pretty packaging spin.
Plink: This company is yet to launch but included here because they are also working on a “micro drink” concept, aka drinks in a tablet, also pushing for this format as a “more sustainable RTD” —set to launch in 2022.
Pzaz: The company hasn’t officially launched but it’s already garnered a cultish following amongst bodega owners and GenZ alike in NYC. The idea is to disrupt the energy drink market, specifically the 5-hour energy drink space, in fact they are always taunting them on their socials, it’s hilarious. I’ve also tried this product and the taste is reminiscent of “War Head” candy spray, remember? My favorite flavor is the Green Apple.
Daily Harvest: This is one of my favorite concepts as I’ve been trying to get “milk bombs” to be a thing, particularly as the holidays come up. Daily Harvest’s almond mylk tablets are genius, not only for convenience but also because it is also more sustainable a milk carton.
Wanna be snaxpals?! Join our Discord.
Simulate: They’ve touted themselves as the Tesla of food, their alt-chicken discs literally play on software which is very tongue in cheek considering thats literally how this industry works, producing “updates” to their versions every year or so now.
Slow Up: This is a similar concept of an entire meal into a convenient, or a grain bowl into a snack bar!
Undressed: Fascinating concept, wherein they take an actual salad bowl and turn it into a literal salad bar, convenient considering salads require prep.
Slice Sauce: This is very futuristic IMO, like the fact that this sauce can be easily added to a burger sans mess, and peeled off easily like if it was a slice of cheese is genius.
Spreadable Espresso Martini: I literally have no words but I needed you to see what type of atrocities you all manifested with this espresso martini craze, you are all to blame.
The Good Patch: Wearable vitamins, wearable CBD, wearable hangover remedies, the patch went from being a smoker’s aid to now a must for any wellness enthusiast out there!
Gem: Love the literal approach of food vitamins that look fresh and not something synthetically made that can be found at some unkept aisle at a convenience store, they recently raised $10.5 M in funding.
Sourse: Chocolate vitamins that look like M&Ms which is always a good thing when you’re trying to pass off B12 to be honest, they went through a fresh rebrand and Sarah Hyland recently joined the company as co-founder.
Listen to us talk snacks with Bon Appetit!
Aura Bora dropped a new flavor, elderberry grapefruit.
Magic Spoon revealed a new cereal flavor as well.

Rootless: Seaweed daily bites, beautiful branding and also launching soon!
Null Wines: Non-alcoholic wines that are launching soon!
Veso: Based in SF, modern aperitifs launching soon!
Intro: An energy drink for your drink, I KID YOU NOT.
1st/DAIT: Speaking of functional unwinding, the first ever date mushroom coffee!
Groovies: Based in Monterrey and proof that DTC cereal craze has reached LatAm, launching soon!

Nowadays, we got plenty of different travel destinations affordable from Poland. If we want to explore other continent, we may fly to the Melbourne or New York. For any nice week in huge capital, we may go to Paris or London. But when we prefer to spend our whole holidays, just laying on the sand and do nothing, the nicest will be Santorini island. It’s not only one of the more lovely area in entire Europe. Beside, this venue is known for it really elegant hotels and apartments.
Finding a holiday destination that we would assure ourselves great memories as well as perfect chance to rest from the stress and various expectations we have to meet every day is considered to be a very challenging activity. Although there are plenty of possibilities in terms of spending our summer holidays, we should be aware of the fact that in most cases we are limited owing to funds we have or time we might spend on travelling.

Sonos 'Sub Mini' Design Leaked Ahead of Official Announcement
Sonos is set to release a smaller, more affordable subwoofer that will be able to wirelessly pair with the Sonos Ray and the rest of its existing soundbar lineup, a new report has confirmed.
According to The Verge, Sonos is working on a smaller version of its $749 Sub, called the Sub Mini, which will be capable of pairing with the company's second-generation Beam, the Arc, and the Ray, which was unveiled earlier this month.
In an earlier leak, Sonos described the Sub Mini as a "smaller, cylindrical subwoofer," and that is pretty much reflected in a rendered version of the actual product seen by The Verge.
The main thing that distinguishes the Sub Mini hardware is an elongated, pill-shaped vertical cutout right in the middle of the device. It just so happens that the regular Sub has a rectangular cutout, so Sonos seems to have settled on this both for functionality and as a design trait of sorts. In the case of the Sub, there are acoustic ports on both sides, so it would follow that the Sub Mini will have a similar internal layout — albeit with smaller, less powerful components.
The full features list, dimensions, price, and release date have not been disclosed, but the subwoofer is likely to follow the same design signature as other recent and upcoming products in its home theater lineup.
Apart from the Ray soundbar, Sonos also announced this month that it will be launching its own voice control system for its speakers, allowing users to say "Hey Sonos" to control compatible music services, including Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer, Pandora, and Sonos Radio.
Top Rated Comments
Sonos still publishes the legacy Sonos S1 controller, to play all the legacy speaker products.
Then again Sonos aren’t immune from doing stupid things, such as bricking series 1 speakers if you decided to use them to get a discount on series 2. Thankfully they no longer do this though you do miss some features in a mixed series 1 and 2 system (can’t remember exactly what as now entirely series 2).
2) The app needs to communicate with speakers on a network. That's the basis of how the speakers function.

John Roach: The Capitalist
By John Roach Madison Magazine
It snuck up on me. That?s the way it works.
It is a clever opponent, wriggling its way into every part of your life.
Although it?s no excuse, I grew up around it. My dad loved it. My mom was dependent on it. Even my grandparents were into it. Perhaps that?s the way of the Irish. It is a part of our DNA.
I tried it first when I was twelve. It was, ironically, a Capital Times paper route. After that I did it when I mowed lawns, de-tassled corn for Blaney?s, put facemasks on football helmets, baled hay and installed locks. Even worse, I engaged in the same activity at night, stealing away to sing in local bands. It was innocent behavior at first. I wasn?t harming anyone. Or so I thought.
But as political events and rhetoric in Madison over the last year have convinced me, I was wrong. Though blissfully unaware, I was already working hard and saving individual earnings. The hook was set.
And now, after a year of hearing protestors on the Square, witnessing the recall and reading John Nichols, I can finally admit it.
My name is John. And I?m a capitalist.
If I am to be totally honest (and this journey is all about honesty), I have been engaging in acts of capitalism throughout the last four decades.
When I studied at the UW?Madison, it was not a problem. As a poor student, I had my capitalism under control. It was only when I moved to the big city of Chicago that I got serious about the free-market economy. There are so many temptations, so many companies hanging around on the street corner willing to pay you for hard work and talent.
There was the rush of getting my paycheck. They start you out small. But sure enough, you get a jones for earning currency. I became addicted to the competition, the challenge to be innovative and accountable. To prove myself in a competitive, capitalist environment was such a dizzying high that I did it every day. When I look back on those times, and the long nights I spent working to make a profit, I shake my head.
What was I thinking?
And then the unimaginable happened. I didn?t like my job or my pay. So I engaged in riskier behavior. I quit my job and got a better one somewhere else. I was now into capitalism. Big time.
I got married. We had our first child. I thought things might get better. But they didn?t. In fact, that is when the accumulation of capital really took hold of me. I realized I was not acquiring goods and services for myself, but for others as well. I worked even harder. Tried even riskier behavior by changing jobs once again, for even better pay. There was no end to my capitalism.
Believe it or not, I made so much profit, I actually bought a house.
And invested in a 401(k)! With my own money!
I was out of control.
So we moved back to Madison, thinking that things would get better. But they didn?t. I continued to work and make a profit. We had more kids. Bought a bigger house.
Looking back, I wish someone had intervened. Pulled me up short and screamed in my face, ?John! Do you see what you are doing? You are taking money for your work. You are accruing goods! Saving for college education! Paying taxes that support the local, state and national social and physical infrastructure! What in the name of God is wrong with you??
But no one helped. Not my brothers. Not my sisters. Not my friends. No one. Even my bride and the mother of my children didn?t stop me. But then, how could she? By then she had become dependent on capitalism, too.
And just when I thought it couldn?t get any worse, it did. That?s the thing with the free market economy. You try a little and you want more.
It was my riskiest behavior yet. I started a small business. I incorporated. It wasn?t enough to accrue capital for myself; I had to get others to try it.
The awful truth was that I became a dealer. A pusher of capitalism. I was breaking bad. From then on it was an upward spiral. We were all in on it. I made money. My employees made money. We paid taxes, bought cars, houses, even groceries. It was one big scam.
The worst part? The harder we worked, the more we made.
But the protests in Madison this year made me stop and take a look at my corporatism.
So now I am taking it one day at a time, and hoping for the best.
Admitting that I am powerless in the face of hard-earned, accrual of personal assets is the first step to recovery.
Hello. My name is John.
And I?m a capitalist.

ADA Foundation Tarrson Student Leadership Award Given to UNLV Dental Students
The American Dental Association (ADA) awarded the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) School of Dental Medicine its 2009 Bud Tarrson Dental School Student Community Leadership Award in recognition of an oral health treatment program for National Guard troops. The school will receive $5,000 to enhance student education and outreach to underserved populations.
UNLV dental students founded the Sergeant Clint Ferrin Memorial Clinic in 2008. The program was started to meet the oral health needs of National Guard troops deemed non-deployable due to dental problems. Some of the troops do not have access to dental care because they are not on active duty, making them ineligible for military benefits. The program now includes all local military veterans with limited access to dental care.
The award, created in 2003 in memory of philanthropist Bud Tarrson, a director of the former ADA Health Foundation (now ADA Foundation), recognizes one exemplary volunteer community service project developed and implemented by dental students at a predoctoral dental education program.
Dr. Arthur Nimmo Elected to American Board of Prosthodontics
Dr. Arthur Nimmo, Director of Predoctoral Implant Dentistry at University of Florida College of Dentistry and Professor of Prosthodontics, was elected as an examining member of the American Board of Prosthodontics (ABP) for a seven-year term.
Dr. Nimmo is a Diplomate of the ABP and a Fellow of the American College of Prosthodontists (ACP). From 1995 to 2006, he served as a consultant to the American Dental Association for the National Board Examination Part II for the Prosthodontics Test Construction Committee and Consultant Review Committee. Dr. Nimmo was the Commissioner representing the specialty of prosthodontics on the ADA Commission on Dental Accreditation from 2001 to 2005.

There has been a lot of issues going on in the United States. One of the recent issues that popped up in the country was in relation to the payment that president Donald Trump gave the women who said that they had affairs. It comes after the ex-lawyer of Trump, Michael Cohen pleaded guilty for violating laws during the presidential election over the matter of hush money that he handled for the president.
When asked about this matter, Donald Trump mentioned that these payments came from his personal account and was not paid from campaign money. This was a bit shocking as earlier Mr. Trump completely denied knowing anything about these payments. This is not all, he is also throwing stones on Cohen for making up stories to receive a lighter sentence.
President Trump’s Statement
During an interview when this matter came up that aired n full on Thursday, Mr. Trimp mentioned about the hush money stating it was not a campaign violation. He added they came from me and tweeted about it. Moving ahead he also mentioned he had only found out about the payments later on.
Earlier Cohen, his ex-lawyer stated a contradictory statement regarding this payout. He said under oath that the president had instructed him to make the payments.
Did these payments break Campaign Rule?
Cohen, ex-personal lawyer of Mr. Trump admitted passing on funds to two women thought to be porn star Stormy Daniels and Playboy Model Karen, McDougal. It was after the campaign when this issue came out in the open before the Federal Election Commission. The question remains whether or not the payments were made to protect Trump’s personal reputation.
There is a rule in the US Federation that any payment that is made with the aim of influencing a vote must be reported. Cohen acknowledged that in court that he was instructed by Mr. Trumo to pay off the ladies.
The confusion in this matter still persist. In case Mr. Trump was to be prosecuted, it could not happen in the normal court instead he will be carried out in the Congress through an impeachment process.

Music can have a palliative effect on humans. While it doesn’t address the actual pains or sickness a person is afflicted with, it can ease that pain or make the sickness recede so it’s manageable. Music lifts the soul so that we can overcome trials and tribulations. That aspect of music is on display in a small gem of a movie from Australia called The Sapphires.
Australia had its own shameful history of racial inequality that mirrored the United States, only their problem wasn’t with those brought there to be slaves, but rather with the people who inhabited Australia before the coming of white men – the Aborigines. The government in the 1950s classified the Aborigines not as people, but rather as flora and fauna. In effect, they were viewed as weeds to be eliminated. One of the most shameful activities the government indulged in was the kidnapping of children who could pass for white. They were taken from their families and educated in white ways.
The Sapphires is “based on a true story” – usually dangerous words, though at the end it shows the people on whom it was based, their later accomplishments, and an unusual connection between the film and the women portrayed.
In 1968, two Aboriginal sisters and a cousin, Gail (Deborah Mailman), Julie (Jessica Mauboy), and Cynthia (Miranda Tapsell), are living on a farming station in the Australian outback, though they dream of making music. Julie is still a teenager, though she’s already had a child with one of the young men on the station. Another boy there proposed to her, but ended up getting cold feet and breaking off the engagement. They travel to the nearest town where there’s a talent contest taking place, and they’re clearly the best singers, but the contest is won by a pretty blond from town.
However, they meet Dave Lovelace (Chris O’Dowd), a musician from Melbourne who recognizes their talent. The girls usually sang country and western music, which amuses Lovelace. “That’s fine, we all make mistakes,” he says. “But here is what we learn from that mistake. Country and western music is about loss. Soul music is also about loss. But the difference is in country and western music, they’ve lost, they’ve given up and they are just all wining about it. In soul music they are struggling to get it back, they haven’t given up.” Julie has found an advertisement for acts to entertain US servicemen in Vietnam, and on a dare from the girls, Dave arranges for an audition.
When they get to Melbourne, the girls look up their cousin Kay (Shari Sebbens). When they were children, they always sang as a foursome, until the government came and took the fair-skinned Kay away. Now she’s working in a hospital in Melbourne and is totally absorbed into the white culture. (When she first appears, she’s hosting a Tupperware party for her friends.) Kay decides to join the others again. They have a lot of work to do. Gail, the most outspoken of the group, has always sung lead, but Dave moves Julie into that role since she has the strongest voice. Dave schools them in soul music, and their first endeavors are awkward, but slowly they learn how to perform. When the audition takes place, they impress the Army representatives and are hired. At first Vietnam is a dream for them, but eventually they are brutally brought to the reality that they’re in a war zone.
O’Dowd was a delight in Bridesmaids as the Canadian/American policeman Rhodes (he’s actually from Ireland originally). Here he’s even better, carrying the film both as comic relief and romantic lead. Jessica Mauboy was a runner-up on “Australian Idol” and has also appeared on the Australian versions of “The Voice” and “The X-Factor.” Her singing is wonderful, but she also imbues Julie with a powerful feistiness, a woman who won’t be put down. The person who steals the film, though, is Deborah Mailman. As Dave points out, Gail is the mama bear who protects the others. It’s a fierce performance that sticks in your memory.
The movie was filmed in both Australia and Vietnam, which adds to the authenticity. The music featured is first-rate, and will set your toes a’tapping. Made in 2012, Bob and Harvey Weinstein have imported it to the States, where it’s playing mostly in art houses. If you get the chance to see it, it’s well worth your time.


The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City (ADM), through the Municipality Centre of Madinat Zayed, is carrying out development works to beautify the median along the Arabian Gulf Street in the region from the Mussafah Bridge to the Mussafah Bridge Intersection Complex.
The Municipality of Abu Dhabi City is redesigning the median and planting 191 palm trees and 293 coloured trees, covering a total length of 5,300m2 along the road, and a total area of more than 31,800m2.
In addition to installing an irrigation network to serve these crops, the design of the median has also taken the surrounding environment into consideration in order to ensure the safety of road users.
The project aims to enhance the roads for Abu Dhabi residents, citizens, and visitors, and add an aesthetic touch to the road users.
The project is in line with the Abu Dhabi government’s continuous efforts to develop the entrances to the city, as well as the internal and external areas surrounding it.

CO2 Guard 10
CO2 Room Sensor with Traffic Light Display
The CO2 Guard 10 reliably shows the carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration in the ambient air as a measure for indoor air quality (IAQ). The CO2 level indicated by the LEDs helps deciding on the need for ventilation, for example by opening the windows.
Adequate ventilation and IAQ is paramount for healthy living and working conditions. In spaces with high occupancy, good IAQ diminishes the risk of contamination with aerosol-borne diseases. Additionally, air exchange based on the actual CO2 level can significantly reduce energy costs.
Measurement performance The CO2 Guard 10 employs the dual wavelength NDIR measurement principle with auto-calibration, which stands for outstanding long term performance even in harsh and polluted environment. Pressure and temperature compensation with on-board sensors lead to best accuracy irrespective of the location (altitude), weather and environmental conditions.
Flexibility The CO2 Guard 10 can be deployed as wall mount or as portable tabletop device. The tabletop stand adapter is included in the scope of supply.
Comfortable use The CO2 Guard 10 is maintenance free. Battery supply allows for portable use independently of any external electrical supply availability. All LEDs flashing indicate the need for replacing the batteries.
Visual and acoustic indication Green, yellow and red LEDs indicate the actual CO2 range. Additionally, short acoustic signals indicate CO2 rising to the next higher range.
Wide CO2 monitoring range The six CO2 ranges indicated by the LEDs are suitable for all common indoor situations from low to high CO2 levels. Low CO2 levels are typical for residential and commercial purposes according to EN 13779. High CO2 levels typically occur in spaces with very high occupancy such as school classes.
Long battery life time A set of 4 commercially available batteries lasts for typically 6 months at room temperature. The snap-on enclosure concept allows for easy battery replacement without any specific tools.
The Sigma 05 sensor hub represents the central element of the E+E modular sensor ecosystem with intelligent probes, analogue outputs and display. With pluggable, interchangeable probes, the modular sensor platform is suitable even for harsh and challenging environment.
The TR9277-EO is a light harvesting, EnOcean® wireless transmitter, that measures CO2, Temperature and Relative Humidity in an attractive wall mount enclosure. The sensor is powered by ambient indoor light. The CO2 concentration in the space is indicated by pressing a side button and watching the flash sequence of LEDs on the right side of the light-harvesting panel.
3-in-1 sensor module measures Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Temperature, and Barometric Pressure. Low power consumption makes it suitable for battery-operated devices such as hand-held meters, data loggers or wireless transmitters.


Windsor Attracts Newfoundland Investor
Thursday, September 19, 2013
The Windsor Star/Dave Hall
A Newfoundland-based dentist is planning a small commercial development for a vacant lot at 1955 Provincial Rd.
Dr. Zachery Pan, of Pan Atlantic Innovations Inc., said Windsor’s inexpensive real estate prices and improving economy are two of the main reasons he selected the city for his development.
“It’s a very reasonably priced city in which to do business,” said Pan, who has a dental practice in St. John’s. “It’s also a good area for development and we think this will be a successful investment.”
Pan plans to build a 480-square-foot building which is expected to house a medical practice as well as a retail component. It will also have 28 parking spaces. The project is being designed by Architectural Design Associates Inc.
It’s currently moving through the City of Windsor’s site application process and Pan said he hopes to begin construction early next year.


In June 2009, Mercedes will begin European sales of a hybrid version of its luxury S-Class, its engineer’s claim that it will use 7.9 liters of gasoline per 100 km (or get 29.8 miles per gallon). Mercedes has been a whole decade late in getting its green act right, The Toyota Prius has managed to shine in the Hybrid or green limelight for all this while its own stable Lexus LS 600h has managed to give us a sneak-peek into luxury hybrids with hardly any competition coming towards it, until now of course. By combining a 205kW 3.5-liter V6 engine and a 15kW electric motor, the S400 BlueHYBRID is what many would call a light green or moderate hybrid. It could get fuel consumption down to 7.9L/100km with emissions of 190g/km CO2 – lower than the S350 it is based on, but still not in a league with ‘full’ hybrids or even some diesel. Nevertheless, it is a good result for a full-size luxury sedan and a 21 % improvement over the standard S350. It Shares the engine bay with a hybrid system with a 20-hp electric motor. The S400 is based on a lithium battery and a ‘mild’ hybrid system, meaning it cannot run on electric power alone. Instead, the electric motors assist the petrol engine to improve its miles per gallon.
Due for launch in Europe in June of 2009 followed by China in August and the U.S. in September, the S400 BlueHYBRID hasn’t yet been priced, but can be expected to command a premium over the S350, which starts at $198,810 before taxes and fees. It should slot in below the S500, however, perhaps splitting the difference for a final price around $235,000.
