In June, Trucker Tools hosted a webinar panel discussion on Strategies for Brokers on Surviving the Current Market and Thriving in Recovery with Bill Cassidy of JOC, John Schulz of Logistics Management Magazine and Avery Vise of FTR Transportation Intelligence. The discussion was moderated by Trucker Tools’ CEO and founder, Prasad Gollapalli and centered on the challenges brokers were facing in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. We recently invited our panel of experts back for a follow-up webinar and discussion, Persevering in a Pandemic: What Brokers and Carriers Should Plan for as We Enter the Fall Months, to talk about what brokers and carriers can do to strengthen their businesses as we enter autumn.
A recurring theme in both panel discussions was how the pandemic has accelerated the need for technology-based solutions in freight brokerage. Instead of putting off technology implementations and investments, many are rolling out new technology-based solutions in their operations to both deal with the challenges of the pandemic and prepare for the future.
Digitization Leads the Way
For many freight brokers, one of the early challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic was how to transition from an office-based work environment to a remote work environment. Freight brokers and 3PLs who had digital workflows and systems in place obviously fared better than those who were relying purely on manual tasks for load tracking, truck procurement, truck bookings and submission of BOL/POD docs.
Digital workflows and processes offer more than the ability to work remotely. When the market was at its worst in the early days of COVID-19, brokers and 3PLs who were already using automated workflows and processes in their operations were able to scale up freight volume with relative ease. For brokers whose operations are completely manual, increasing freight volume requires an additional investment in human resources, which often doesn’t make financial sense.
Efficiency at the Center of Your Strategy for the Future
Success in the current freight brokerage market and in the future is all about harnessing the transformative power of technology to reduce inefficiencies. As such, any strategy for your freight brokerage or logistics company should center on increasing efficiency, say our panelists.
“The focus should be to invest in technology to do what you don’t need a person to do,” said Avery Vise of FTR Transportation Intelligence. “Reduce manual tasks and focus on your best people.”
According to John Schulz of Logistics Management Magazine, operational efficiency and nimbleness is the winning combination if you want to both survive the pandemic and thrive in the future.
“Companies are looking at their supply chains and how well they can build flexibility into their processes,” says Schulz. “A lot of that depends on technology and greater visibility, as well as better communication by all parties involved.”
Bill Cassidy of JOC advises brokers and 3PLs to find solutions to improve costs, and to focus on being a problem-solver for your shipper customers.
“Trucking is going to be a technology play in the future, no matter how you look at it. Companies are going to need to automate and digitize more processes,” says Cassidy.
However, notes Cassidy, automation and digitization doesn’t necessarily diminish the value or need for staff members in your brokerage operations. Instead, technology should help your staff members perform at a higher level and ultimately provide better service to your customer base.
“We talk about automation and digitization as if it means getting rid of jobs, but that shouldn’t be the case,” Cassidy said. “What it should mean is that we’re making it easier for people to do their jobs. The job within the brokerage should not simply be answering the phones, it should be helping that shipper customer find the solutions it needs in order to improve its own transportation system and reduce costs.”
Vise agreed with Cassidy on this point, advising, “Think of your human capital not just as filling chairs, but as who are the best people to differentiate your business from other companies. Use technology to automate everything else.”
Why the Future is All About Digital Freight Matching
One area of freight brokerage that invites greater digitization and automation is truck procurement.
“The focus of digital freight matching is to invest in technology that basically does what you do not need a person to do,” Vise notes. “It’s becoming very scalable. Five years ago or certainly 10 years ago, you had to be a major player to take advantage of this technology. Increasingly, you’re able to do leverage this technology in an economical way.”
As Vise notes, digital freight matching isn’t just for the mega brokers. With Trucker Tools’ digital freight matching, you can find truck capacity with preferred carriers in a matter of seconds, whether you’re a micro or mega broker, or somewhere in between. Instead of using phone calls, emails, load boards and other manual processes for finding capacity, let Trucker Tools’ digital freight matching do the work. Using digital freight matching in your operations increases efficiency and gives your staff members more time to devote to providing outstanding shipper service.

David Fincher is a director with a distinctive film style that he has made his own. With very little titles under his belt, Fincher is effortlessly one of the most talked-about directors to emerge from the 90's. Some of his most arguably popular movies and the ones that I will be going into are Fight Club, Se7en, Panic Room, and the Social Network. As a fan of David Fincher I found that while doing research most of the people talking about and analyzing his films were also fans. In fact they were super fans; his cult-like' status on the Internet is profound. Fincher has the ability to captivate audiences all over the world.
Fincher was inspired by the work of George Lucas and landed his first major industry job at the age of 18 at Industrial Lights and Magic, which was owned by Lucas. After that he did music videos and documentaries for well-known artists such as Aerosmith, Paula Abdul and Madonna. Fincher was also inspired and a huge fan of Alfred Hitchcock and said that one of his favorite movies is Rear Window. It is clear in his work that Fincher is influenced a lot by Hitchcock's pans, tracking shots, and styling. The movie Panic Room acts like a Hitchcock thriller from beginning to end. But overall Fincher's work has a signature dark and grim style that is his own. Fincher's first feature length film was Alien in 1992. He now has Se7en (1995), The Game (1997), Fight Club (1999), Panic Room (2002), Zodiac (2007), The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008), The Social Network (2010), and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011). .
Fincher has been said that he doesn't actually believe himself to be an auteur, but non-the-less he does always include certain idioms into his work. One of Fincher's main similarities is his use of camera work rather than narrative to impress the audience. It is clear in his work, especially in Fight Club, that he is a talented camera artist. Fincher also has a post modernistic style for example his work often features rejection of society, dark worlds with dark people, dark issues and dark humor.

Below are master’s degrees that are actually required to work in the field you want to pursue.
Masters in Finance
Most jobs you see that require heavy use of numbers are bound to pay high salaries. Some financial jobs require a degree (or desire one), like a financial analyst or management accountant. With a master’s in finance, you’re looking at starting salaries of £41,000+.
Masters in Computer Science
Again, a very number-based qualification to have but with a different way of working. Computer science is a broad field but usually consists of specialising in various programming languages, learning complex systems and refining existing systems within companies. In terms of starting salary with a computer science master’s degree, you’re looking at around £42,000 a year to start with.
Masters in Civil Engineering
Civil Engineering involves designing structures that serve the general public, such as bridges, dams, walkways and the like. It’s a highly in-demand career and starts with a salary of around £41,000+
Masters in Medical Sciences
There are absolutely tons of master’s degrees in medical sciences, but more often than not, practitioners must have a masters in this field. In fact, over 90.1% of postgraduates get employed. The salary range is broad, depending on the discipline and whether you decide to use your degree for something non-clinical instead. If you decide to pursue the clinical path, salaries will be high from around £30k-£40k+.
Which career has stood out to you the most? We hope it’s given you a good idea of the top-paying jobs and degrees in the UK!

This article delves into the unique approach of ODT, Inc. from Amherst, Massachusetts, an enterprise…
Known for its exceptional educational resources like the Hobo-Dyer map, ODT, Inc. presented an enlightening DVD in 2006 titled “Many Ways to See the World”. It offered a fascinating journey into the world of geography, based on the thought-provoking book “Seeing Through Maps”. This article takes a look at what made this educational film so interesting and special.
This DVD is not your ordinary geography lesson. Within just 30 minutes, it takes the viewers into the minds of twelve extraordinary mapmakers whose unique backgrounds, philosophies, values, and politics informed their choice of mathematical formulas for their maps. We learn how the maps they created have consciously and unconsciously influenced our worldview.
ODT‘s DVD presents a captivating story, from the amusing tale of the creation of a South-up map to the original intention behind Mercator’s projection. It explores Arno Peters‘ mission to create a fair map representation for all peoples and delves into Buckminster Fuller’s unique rendition of the world.
Valuable Lessons Learned
This fast-paced film conveys three powerful messages through an analysis of maps:
- The “truth” can be altered based on your vantage point.
- We can only truly understand the world if we are willing to see things from multiple perspectives.
- One person’s voice can make a big difference!
These lessons linger in our minds long after the credits rolled, altering how we perceive the world.
More Than Just a Film
But the DVD does not just stop at the film. It is packed with bonus features, including over 70 PowerPoint images with links to map resources around the world, previews of subsequently upcoming features like “Arno Peters: Radical Map, Remarkable Man”, MP3 audio files of radio interviews, book excerpts, and even bonus footage and trailers.
And while the DVD might still be available for purchase, you can now watch Many Ways to See the World for free:
Reviews and Testimonials
“Many Ways to See the World” received high praise from various quarters. Brant Abrahamson of the Teachers’ Press appreciated the humanistic approach to mapmaking, commenting, “You show cartographers as real people who have specific goals in mind.”
Government Training News found it to be a “fascinating exploration of world maps,” while Howard Zinn, the author of “A People’s History of the United States“, hoped that it would be shown in classrooms everywhere. Harris Sussman called it the most effective presentation about the use of maps he had ever seen. At the same time, Claire O’Brien, a museum educator from Springfield Museums, termed it “a delightful and wondrous resource to discover new ways to see the world”.
“Many Ways to See the World” by ODT, Inc. is more than a DVD about maps and cartography – it is a call to shift our perspectives and appreciate the interconnectedness of our world. By taking us behind the scenes of mapmaking, it offers an alternative understanding of our world.

vin du pays
Wine tourism is a given in France.Even the wealthiest and most cultivatedParisians seek out the often modestlocal to pair with regionalfoods when they travel. In the UnitedStates, wines are produced in all 50states, but wine tourism is in its infancy.
Several islands in the Puget Sound,north of Seattle, Washington, and notfar from Canada's Vancouver Island, producewine. The climate is cool but moderate,owing to the shelter provided bythe Cascade Mountains on the OlympicPeninsula. This atmosphere favors northernFrench and German varietals, andproved to be a worthwhile destination—not just for the wine.
FINE WINE, FINE ISLAND
Whidbey Island and its world-famousInn at Langley was my first stop (360-221-3033; www.innatlangley.com). I arrivedby ferry in a car I rented at the Seattle airport.Sandy and Steve Nogal, theinnkeepers/chefs, welcomed me to Langley,introducing me to its solid comfort(devoid of any unpleasant pretentiousness).That evening, in an open kitchen,Chef Nogal prepared delicious local PennCove mussels (the best I've tasted sinceBrittany) in an immense wok.
Whidbey Island Winery is only a shortdrive away (360-221-2040; www.whidbeyislandwinery.com). It is a small operationand does not figure on Langley'scarefully chosen wine list. But I visitedthe tasting room and brought back abottle of the Madeleine Angevine, a drywine with good acidity and a sprightlinessthat reminded me of the varietal'sLoire Valley origins. It was aromatic andterrific with the mussels.
The second bottle, a Siegerrebe, Ireserved for sipping on my balcony whilegazing at the Saratoga Passage during alazy afternoon that ended with a fabuloussunset. The additional spiciness andhint of sweetness in the Siegerrebe comefrom crossing the Madeleine Angevinewith German Gewurtztraminer. In all, itwas a nice surprise for an area that Inever knew could produce wine.
Crossing Deception Pass, located atthe northern tip of Whidbey Island, Icaught the ferry to San Juan Island atAnacortes. Friday Harbor House overlooksa port bustling with ferries,yachts, and Kenmore Air seaplanes.There's a lot to see on San Juan, includingmesmerizing whale watching fromthe shore and a charming hotel visitedby Teddy Roosevelt.
Near the end of a loop tour of theisland, San Juan Vineyards offers winetasting (888-983-9463; www.sanjuanvineyards.com). The wines tasted aremade both from locally grown and moredistant Washington State grapes. Thispromising new winery isn't yet knownmuch beyond the Seattle area. A finedinner at Friday Harbor House, featuringlocally grown ingredients, freshly caughtsalmon, and the local Gewurtztraminercompleted a wonderful day.
Orcas Island has no wineries, but it'son the way back to the mainland and itfeatures Mount Constitution and itsnot-to-be-missed view of the entire SanJuan Island group, snowcapped MountBaker, and the Canadian Rockies. Istayed at the tranquil and picturesqueResort at Deer Harbor (888-376-4480;www.deerharbor.com), enjoying thehot tub on the deck of my cottage aftera bit of climbing.
Once the morning fog cleared, it wastime for whale watching on one of themost exciting boat rides I have evertaken. Weaving between the islands,with Deer Harbor far behind us, weencountered one of the resident pods ofOrca (so-called "killer" whales). Theseblack and white salmon-eating beautieslive as long as humans and swim togetherat a steady 10 miles per hour. I knowbecause we clocked them. That evening,I forgot about the wine.

Cars and watches go together like Morecambe and Wise, Laurel and Hardy, Tom and Jerry and Ant and Dec.
Motorsports is no different. It’s all about time. Timed race, timed laps, time in the pits and, if you’ve been abit naughty on track, time spent with a stop and go penalty.
Watchfinder, the pre-owned watch dealer, has over 4,000 watches in stock and have listed 5 watches that have a huge automotive influence.
TAG HEUER MONACO.
In the iconic racing film ‘Le Mans’, one of the coolest actors of all time Steve McQueen wore a Tag Heuer Monaco watch. As a result of this, the Tag Heuer Monaco watch will always be associated with this film and motoracing.
OMEGA SPEEDMASTER RACING
BREITLING FOR BENTLEY B04 GMT
RICHARD MILLE RM010 LE MANS CLASSIC
PORSCHE DESIGN FLAT SIX
It almost goes without saying…..If you have the car……..you must almost certainly have to have the watch to compliment it.

Transformers: The Game Reviewed Online Games, July 24, 2007
...The game does follow the movie's plot loosely, but you'll find that the missions you need to do are generally less exciting than in the movie due to the rather dull action sequences. From playing as the Autobot Bumblebee whose mission is to protect Mikaela and Sam (and his great-grandfather's glasses that have the encoded location of the "Allspark" on them) to just plain destroying half of a city as a Decepticon, the events in the game do follow the movie but are decidedly more disjointed and often have you doing things repeatedly just so that the overall length of the game is increased...
...Transformers does have a few redeeming moments, like when you get to play as Scorponok, but there are just way too many long stretches of mediocrity for me to be able to recommend this one. The PS3 version looks great in screenshots, but it plays like a budget game and yet still sports the full $59.99 price tag....

Here’s the thing about streaming services. Every service has something unique and enticing to offer its viewers. If you’re a fan of horror movies, then Shudder’s got you covered. Like Disney, Marvel, and Star Wars stuff? Then Disney+ is the place to go. But when it comes to original programming and various movies, the three biggies are Netflix, Amazon Prime, and Hulu. And right now, Hulu has a pretty great selection of ‘80s movies like Say Anything that you can stream right now.
What makes Hulu’s '80s selection so special though and what separates it from other services is its wide variety of choices. Now, since you have the option of having bundles of Starz, Cinemax, and HBO, with your Hulu account, I decided to only stick with the movies that you can stream directly from a basic Hulu account. So, with that said, let’s hop in a DeLorean and head on back to the ‘80s with these excellent movies.
Do you know what you should be currently doing with your eyes right now? Watching Say Anything… since it’s currently streaming on Hulu. This teen romantic comedy/drama is about a smart girl named Diane, played by Ione Skye, and a not so smart boy named Lloyd, played by John Cusack, who fall in love after graduation even though Lloyd has no real plans for the future and Diane is going places.
It’s a sweet story (that also strangely involves embezzlement) and it’s also Cameron Crowe’s debut movie. What most people remember about the movie though is the courtship between Lloyd and Diane, and of course John Cusack hoisting up a boombox and playing some choice Peter Gabriel. Nice.
Stream Say Anything… on Hulu
Everybody loves the John Hughes movies of the ‘80s. Sixteen Candles, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, The Breakfast Club? All fun films with an interesting cast of teenage characters. But do you want to know the anti-John Hughes movie? Heathers. In fact, the writer of Heathers originally wanted Stanley Kubrick to direct this dark comedy about a girl named Veronica (Winona Ryder) who wants to get out of her social group to be herself again. So she sides with a sociopath named J.D. (Christian Slater) who kills people, but covers the deaths up as suicides. And the “suicides” make the dead teens even more popular.
Heathers didn’t do well when it first came out, but how could it, given that plot line? Instead, it became a sort of cult classic and has since been the ‘80s go-to movie when it comes to edgy, anti-sweet teen flicks. To this day, I’m still shocked this movie was even made.
Stream Heathers on Hulu
Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1985)
Heathers too dark for you? Well, then (come on) shout! Because here comes a frivolous (but fun) dance movie. Girls Just Want to Have Fun never takes itself seriously, and that’s why it’s such a joy to watch. It’s about two girls named Janey and Lynne (Sarah Jessica Parker and Helen Hunt, respectively) who love to dance. They want to go on their favorite show Dance TV, but Janey’s father doesn’t want her wasting her time on some stupid dance show. Drama (and dancing!) ensues.
There are a lot of cheesy dance numbers, but it’s just nice to stop worrying about life sometimes and watch a whole bunch of people get their troubles out through dance.
The Jewel of the Nile (1985)
The ‘80s weren’t just about teen comedies. There were also some pretty boss action-adventure movies as well (uh, hello. The ‘80s was the decade that brought us Indiana Jones) And one really fun action-adventure movie was The Jewel of the Nile, which was a sequel to the also enjoyable, Romancing the Stone.
Do you have to see Romancing the Stone to enjoy The Jewel of the Nile? Well, no, but it really helps. Joan (Kathleen Turner) Jack (Michael Douglas) and Ralph (Danny DeVito) all return from their previous adventure, and this time, Jack and Ralph need to save Joan (who’s a romance writer, which the film plays with) and get the “jewel of the Nile” that’s referenced in the title. But like the first movie, things aren’t quite what they seem. The Jewel of the Nile is fast, fun, and to a certain extent satirizing but also lovingly portraying all the best aspects of a romance novel, which is the connection between the characters. Watch both movies if you can. They’re great fun.
Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan (1982)
There were also some pretty cerebral sci-fi movies back in the ‘80s as well. The Thing, The Fly, They Live. All classics. But if there’s one sci-fi film that truly still stands out (mostly since all the sequels were judged against it), it’s Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. In the second (and best) Star Trek movie, Captain Kirk (William Shatner) must face off against the physically impressive, but cruel, Khan (Ricardo Montalban), who has a score to settle with the head of the USS Enterprise.
What makes The Wrath of Khan so special though is that it’s not the way most big, dumb action movies would handle a revenge tale. It’s a very talky film, with Khan talking smack to Kirk across space, quoting stuff like Moby Dick. It also has one of the saddest endings with a key death that often gets mentioned. It's a great film, and definitely one of the best that the ‘80s has to offer. Khaaaaan!
My favorite film on this list, Akira is a landmark work in animation. It’s a post-apocalyptic nightmare set in the far-off, distant future of… 2019. The story concerns the leader of a motorcycle gang named Kaneda whose friend, Tetsuo, gets psychic powers after an accident. But does Tetsuo use these newly acquired powers for good? Well, what kind of interesting story would that be if he did?
While watching Akira, you might notice some things and think that Akira stole it from other films, but the truth is, those films likely borrowed it from Akira. And the animation is both jaw-dropping and sickening, especially for Tetsuo’s final transformation, which, to this day, still makes me sick to my stomach to watch. It’s a very gritty, very mature anime, and one that's not for the faint of heart.
Stream Akira on Hulu
Grave of the Fireflies (1988)
Another anime, Grave of the Fireflies is, no joke, one of the saddest movies you’ll ever watch. It’s about two Japanese children trying to survive at the tail end of World War II. But here’s the thing, there is no hope in this movie. Every bad thing that could happen does, and you really get no reprieve from the terrible things that these children have to go through. I won’t spoil it for you, but you will not be smiling through any part of this movie. It’s as heartbreaking as you can get.
But it’s also a very important film. It was done by Studio Ghibli, but it’s absent of all the whimsical flourishes and unique animation that the company is often known for, instead sticking to a more direct form of animation. Watch it if you want a good cry.
Risky Business (1983)
If you’d rather not want to drown in tears after watching a movie like Grave of the Fireflies, then might I suggest another teen comedy? This one’s the film that made Tom Cruise a star, so you know you’re in for a good time. Risky Business tells the story of one Joel Goodson who does everything a parent could want a child to do. But when said parents go away and leave him with the house all to himself, Joel decides to have a little fun. But a “little” fun soon escalates into some huge problems, and Joel has to fix it all before his parents return.
Risky Business is fun and a definitive movie of the ‘80s. Plus, it’s great to watch Tom Cruise sweat as a teenager who is in way over his head.
Stream Risky Business on Hulu
National Lampoon’s Vacation (1983)
I mentioned John Hughes earlier on this list, and one of the best movies he ever wrote was National Lampoon’s Vacation, in which a family called the Griswolds (Led by Chevy Chase) are on a cross-country trip to the fictional theme park, Walley World. But everything that could go wrong, does go wrong, until it gets to the point that you’re laughing at just how absurdly wrong a simple trip could turn out to be. Should have just listened to your wife and taken that plane, Clark.
The idea of having “the perfect family vacation” is a good set-up for disaster, and humorous disaster is what you get. If you haven’t seen the original Vacation yet (or any of the Vacation movies for that matter), then definitely check the original out. It still holds up today.
National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation (1989)
The third (and best, in my opinion) Vacation movie, Christmas Vacation is about a man named Clark (Chevy Chase again) who just wants to have a “fun, old-fashioned family Christmas” like he had as a kid (or, at least like he remembers having as a kid), only for everything to go wrong again just like it did in Vacation.
It may not be Christmas, but Christmas Vacation is enjoyable at any time of the year. It’s also somehow heartwarming by the end (SWAT team, and all), so it’s a nice film to watch when you’re stuck inside and you just want to unwind.
As I mentioned earlier, there are a slew of other ‘80s movies on Hulu that you can watch right now, but you would have to have a Starz, HBO, or Cinemax account as well. But these ten you can watch right now just with your Hulu account. Enjoy!

MOAMA Village Pharmacy is encouraging people with lung diseases to review their treatment as part of Lung Health Awareness Month.
Asthma educator and pharmacist Sherri Barden said when people thought of lung health, it often related to asthma.
‘‘However, we forget that one in seven people in Australia over 40 years suffer from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a total of 1.45million,’’ she said. ‘‘It is the second leading cause of preventable hospitalisations and while there is no cure, there are things people can do to improve symptoms, stay out of hospital and improve their quality of life.
‘‘Identifying triggers, managing exacerbating factors, cessation of smoking and optimisation of inhaler therapy remains at the core of improving COPD management.’’
Mrs Barden said up to 90 per cent of people may use inhalers incorrectly and regular review and subtle adjustments to inhaler technique may lead to a significant improvement in lung function and symptom control.
Differing from asthma, COPD is a progressive condition characterised by shortness of breath, cough and phlegm production.
Symptoms tend to increased gradually, with nearly half of those suffering not aware they even have it.
‘‘Reducing exacerbating factors such as smoking and pollutants and improving lung function, inhaler technique and understanding are key in reducing flare ups,’’ she said.
For education and advice, Mrs Barden offers free 30-minute asthma and COPD consultations by appointment from Wednesday to Fridays.

Are you curious to know what is endosmosis? You have come to the right place as I am going to tell you everything about endosmosis in a very simple explanation. Without further discussion let’s begin to know what is endosmosis?
In the realm of biology and cellular processes, endosmosis is a phenomenon that describes the movement of fluids into a cell or across a semipermeable membrane. It plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis, nutrient absorption, and various physiological processes. In this blog, we will delve into the concept of endosmosis, its underlying mechanisms, and its significance in biological systems.
What Is Endosmosis?
Endosmosis, also known as endocytosis or the inward osmotic flow, refers to the movement of fluids, typically water, from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration across a semipermeable membrane. This process occurs in response to osmotic imbalances and helps regulate the water content and osmotic pressure within cells and organisms.
Mechanisms Of Endosmosis:
Endosmosis can occur through various mechanisms, depending on the specific cellular or physiological context. Here are two common mechanisms of endosmosis:
- Simple Diffusion:
In simple diffusion endosmosis, fluids passively move across the cell membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. This occurs due to the random motion of solute particles, causing them to distribute evenly throughout the available space. The fluid movement helps equalize the solute concentration on both sides of the membrane.
- Active Transport:
In active transport endosmosis, energy-consuming processes are involved in moving fluids across the membrane. This mechanism is commonly observed in cells that actively uptake specific molecules or ions against their concentration gradient. Energy, typically in the form of ATP, is required to transport substances across the membrane, resulting in the movement of fluids.
Significance Of Endosmosis:
Endosmosis serves several vital functions in biological systems:
- Cellular Homeostasis:
Endosmosis plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by regulating the water content and osmotic balance within cells. Cells need to carefully regulate their internal environment to ensure proper functioning and prevent damage from osmotic imbalances.
- Nutrient Absorption:
Endosmosis facilitates the absorption of nutrients in various biological systems. For example, in the digestive system, endosmosis helps in the absorption of water and nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract into the bloodstream, ensuring their distribution to the body’s cells and tissues.
- Waste Removal:
Endosmosis also aids in the removal of waste products and toxins from cells. The process helps eliminate excess solutes and maintain the proper balance of ions and molecules within cells, ensuring efficient waste removal and detoxification.
- Cell Communication:
Certain forms of endosmosis, such as receptor-mediated endocytosis, play a role in cell communication. Cells can take in specific signaling molecules or receptors from the extracellular environment through endosmosis, allowing for intercellular communication and signal transduction.
Endosmosis is a vital biological process that enables the movement of fluids across cell membranes and maintains the osmotic balance within cells and organisms. It plays a critical role in cellular homeostasis, nutrient absorption, waste removal, and cell communication. Understanding the mechanisms and significance of endosmosis enhances our knowledge of cellular physiology and the intricate processes that govern biological systems. By unraveling the complexities of endosmosis, scientists and researchers can further explore its implications in various physiological and pathological conditions, paving the way for advancements in healthcare, biotechnology, and our overall understanding of life itself.

What Is The Endosmosis And Exosmosis?
Endosmosis is the movement of water into the cell when the cells are placed in a hypotonic solution and the Exosmosis is the movement of water out of the cell when the cells are placed in a hypotonic solution.
What Is An Example Of Endoosmosis?
Endosmosis is the movement of water from a high-concentration area to a low-concentration one through a semipermeable membrane when the cell is placed in a hypotonic medium. It is also known as the inward movement of solvent molecules. Examples of endosmosis: When raisins are put in regular water, they swell.
Where Is Endosmosis?
Endosmosis is the term used to describe the process by which water molecules enter a cell. Ans: In the presence of a hypotonic solution, endosmosis is defined as the transport of water molecules inside the cell by the cell membrane.
Is There A Difference Between Osmosis And Endosmosis?
Endosmosis is a type of osmosis, which is defined as the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane. Examples are the movement of water across the cell membrane, the movement of water across the membranes of bacteria, and the movement of water across plant cell walls.

September 11th, 2001 was nearly twelve years ago. This fact is very hard to believe, because I recall that day like it was yesterday. I think I always will, and I bet you do, too. I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing that morning. As I type there’s a swelling knot in my throat, and my head feels heavy. I will never forget what happened, what I watched unfolding on the television at work, how worried I was about my big brother, the business traveler, and his whereabouts, how alarmed I was, how vulnerable I felt, how terrified and angry every part of my being was, and how emotions tore through me for months. Those emotions still hit me from time to time, and I think they always will. That story is one that I will tell my kids, hopefully their kids and if I’m lucky maybe even my grandkids’ kids someday.
I could tell you my story of that morning, and I’m sure you’d listen and even share yours with me, but my recollection is nothing compared to the thousands of stories told by others that are much more tragic than mine. This is what I want my children and the generations of their offspring to know. This is what is important: The never-ending sense of loss, our forever heartbroken country, the patriotism, the rallying for the fallen, the support, the service, and above all, the unity. Our nation was united by unimaginably horrific acts of terrorism.
I want my children to learn from our stories. I want to instill values in them that run deep. I want them to take pride in this country and to have gratitude for those who have served it and who serve it today. I want them to serve it to – in big ways and in small ways. On this September 11th, a dozen years after that horrid day, I will show my children what serving and unity is all about, and I hope you’ll join me.
I work part-time as the Volunteer Coordinator for Activate Good, the Triangle’s nonprofit volunteer center. I am beyond proud to play a part in coordinating Activate Raleigh 2013, a community-wide 9/11 Day of Service. I wouldn’t typically use my blog as a platform to promote things, but the 9/11 Day of Service is an international movement that I want to make certain everyone I know and everyone I can reach via this little blog is aware of. It’s a way to reclaim that day and honor those we lost with good deeds and unity. This September 11th businesses, clubs, organizations, and individuals will honor those lost on 9/11 with volunteerism and acts of kindness around the Triangle and our nation.
Activate Good’s goal this year is to rally over 1,500 volunteers to make an impact during this Day of Service. I have personally worked to secure more than 40 neat projects with area nonprofits that will take place representing more than 30 worthy causes all over the Triangle that day. This list of unique projects is available here: http://activategood.org/event/6
We will also celebrate this tremendous Day of Service with a FAMILY FRIENDLY Commemoration at Red Hat Amphitheater in downtown Raleigh that evening, and we need volunteers to join us there to enjoy free live music, participate in hands-on service projects, bring non-perishable items for an on-site food drive, and hear words from Mayor Nancy McFarlane and Activate Good as we conclude this amazing day of service. Some of the hands-on service projects that you and your children can participate in will include creating toys for adoptable pets with animal rescue organizations, writing letters for troops overseas, and creating pillows for breast cancer patients, etc. You can read more about the Commemoration and sign up to be a part of it here: http://911eveningcommemoration.eventbrite.com/
I challenge you, your co-workers, your congregation, your families, your friends and your children to join us as volunteers and to perform good deeds that day. Yep, I said, “challenge.” Now, let me hear you reply, “Challenge accepted.” And let your children hear your stories of that day. Teach them to serve this country, those less fortunate, those who’ve lost, those who are lost, and those who need us. Teach them unity.

Cleveland appears to be out of the running for Johnny Manziel after a report from Fox Sports' Jay Glazer dispelled rumors to the contrary on Tuesday, and the Browns may have decided to set their eyes on another quarterback instead with their second first-round pick at No. 26 overall.
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Browns general manager Ray Farmer is "enamored" with Louisville quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and would like to land him later in the first round.
Cleveland is so interested in Bridgewater, whose draft stock has slipped in recent months, that the report states the team has also explored moving up from the No. 26 spot to ensure it lands Bridgewater with one of its two Day 1 selections.
But what about the team's pick at No. 4 overall?
The Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot added that in a "perfect world," the Browns would land Auburn offensive tackle Greg Robinson at No. 4 and then have Bridgewater fall into their laps at No. 26. They could then look at wide receiver or running back with their first pick of the second round.
If Robinson is unavailable, the team could make wide receiver its first focus and target either Sammy Watkins or Mike Evans before drawing from a deep pool of available quarterbacks later on.
We will find out for certain which direction the Browns choose to go and whether or not that dream scenario plays out on Thursday night.

A tech related post after a very long time. Last I did was almost a year back when I wrote about Broadband in Shimla. Here is something which passed through my hand recently. Miromax Q3 is a recently launched cell phone and is loaded with a host of features. It is a dual band phone which works on 900/1800 Mhz and weighs just 97 g. The main screen is a 262k color TFT screen with a full QWERTY keypad. It supports MP3, AMR, MIDI, WAV files for music and also has a 1.3 MP camera.
The phone supports GPRS, WAP, MMS and Bluetooth. The phone supports dual SIM and both SIM cards operate simultaneously. Dual SIM!!! Wait the first word which comes in mind after hearing dual SIM is Chinese. Well, no this is not a Chinese phone but our own Made in India brand. This phone is being manufactured in Baddi, Himachal Pradesh by Micomax Industries. The phone is available in Shimla for Rs. 4,100/ and the company is offering a 2 GB memory card along with the phone.
If you are looking for a feature rich phone which is not very heavy on the pocket, then this is the one for you.

Heyo! After my friend u/GM_for_life informed me of this rewatch J decided I’d jump in. Gundam history, I’ve got 0079 (the movies anyway), Zeta (plus movies), ZZ, Char’s Counter Attack, 8th MS Team, 0080 War in the Pocket, 0083 Stardust Memory, Unicorn, F91, Thunderbolt, Build Fighters, Build Fighters Try, and Build Divers. Pretty much all the Build stuff I’ve watched.
I’m a pretty big Gundam fan and have the hope of one day catching up and getting through the entire series, so having a rewatch helps. Mecha are fucking rad. I’ll probably try and help out any newcomers by talking about all the terminology gets used, usually carried over from other series.
So starting off, IBO is in it’s own standalone universe so it’s a good entry point in the series, and it’s at an interesting point in technology. Usually Mobile Suits (the name for Mechs in Gundam usually) are the main grunts and higher ups on teams get personalized or more powerful mobile suits, but here Mobile Suits are still at the point of not being mass producible. So the grunt units this time are mobile workers, these neat little machines. I like this a lot, makes the Mobile Suits have a certain weight to them. Looks like we’re starting in 323 P.D., which I’ve been informed stands for POST DISASTER (what a rad name).
Our heroes are a group of mercenaries that are primarily kids, who have been tasked with a job to help this lady out as body guards. Our main enemies are Gjallarhorn, which from what I hear is the Earth Federation equivalent, basically the people on Earth trying to control the space colonies. In a way this is the opposite of the main U.C. Timeline, where the enemies are the space colonists Zeon and the Heroes are on the Earth Federation’s side (usually anyway). So this is a fun inverse.
Characters are nice, I like the designs a lot, and they’re all pretty likeable. Also they’re shirtless in their machines so that’s neat. From what I’ve heard lore wise apparently in order to make any of those Mobile Workers or Suits work you need to have implants which are the things coming out of the backs of the heroes. So that’s different, makes sense though.
I love the suit designs so far, the TK-53 CGS Mobile Worker is the grunt units this time around and they’re really neat, as I said before. The enemies NK-17 Gjallarhorn Mobile Workers are pretty cool too. The Mobile Suits came in at the end which showed just the utter power gap between Mobile Workers and Suits, the enemies having the EB-06 Graze which demolish our Mobile Workers. Luckily we get the signature of IBO up our sleeve, the ASW-G-08 Gundam Barbatos.
Barbatos is so cool. It’s sooooo fucking cool. I like the toughed up look, the menacing eyes, the signature V fin being different but recognizable, the big slab of metal as a weapon it’s soo damn cool. I really like Barbatos.
Story wise we’re doing a pretty basic start but that’s alright, it’s a good start. Pretty typical for the heroes to be massively outgunned until their special weapon (the Gundam) shows up to even the odds. Characters wise I again like everybody, but need more time with them. In general, a solid but basic start.
Can’t wait for the Char clone. TLDR for newcomers, every series in the franchise usually has a rival character and more often than not they have a resemblance physically or personality wise to the original and most famous rival Char Aznable of Gundam 0079. So it’ll be cool to see whoever that is.
Edit: Forgot to mention the music, which was pretty decent aside from stand out “Raise Your Flag” which is pretty famous so that’s not surprising. It’s a fantastic song.
Heyo! After my friend u/GM_for_life informed me of this rewatch J decided I’d jump in.
Ahhh nice to see you here~! And thanks GM for roping in fresh blood.
Ooh so your first not-Gunpla AU, neato.
In a way this is the opposite of the main U.C. Timeline, where the enemies are the space colonists Zeon and the Heroes are on the Earth Federation’s side (usually anyway). So this is a fun inverse.
Eyup, I'd imagine this is a neat change coming off of mostly just UC stuff haha.
Same~ It (well, ) is one of my favorite Gundams. Also yeah, the V fin is definitely different. Not as different as a mustache, but different for sure.
Can’t wait for the Char clone.
Ah, someone who has their priorities right.
Been working on Wing and need to get the G-Gundam blu ray set soon, need to get on all those damn Gundams!
It’s a really neat change of pace honestly, I like it a lot. Mars is also pretty unique by U.C. Gundam Standards at least.
I like it a lot better than Banshee’s V-fin at the very least (sorry u/Gm_for_life it’s just not that good of a suit I’m sorry). Barbatos is one of those suits I like the more I look at it.
And why watch a Gundam show without a Char clone?
G Gundam is hype as fuck, hope you enjoy it when you get to it. Easily my favorite AU behind IBO.
another cool inversion is the portrayal of young people in combat compared to uc forced child soldiers versus teenagers falling into open cockpits
I mean U.C. Is also about Child Soldiers, the reasoning for the children being soldiers is just different. Children were used because of a chance of being newtypes and lack of man power, it’s far from a good thing.
Nice to have you here, we can always use more rewatchers to spread the knowledge!

The amount of ecosystem development for Zcash is very encouraging. Right now I keep my Zcash in a hardware wallet, which I feel is very safe.
But none of the hardware wallets that I know of can keep z transactions in them. I notice when running a node I need at least 4GB of memory or RAMdisk to complete a z transaction.
Would it be possible to make a super-Trezor with the internal hardware required to sign z transactions?
Maybe the calculation uses flash instead of RAM? It would be slower, but it would work.
I'd like that, because then I could store my zcash in shielded instead of public transactions.


Radar has low angular resolution, so it had only a crude idea of the environment around the vehicle. What radar is quite good at, however, is figuring out how fast objects are moving. And so a key strategy for making the technology work was to ignore anything that wasn't moving. A car's radar will detect a lot of stationary objects located somewhere ahead of the car: these might be trees, parked cars, bridges, overhead signs, and so forth.
These systems were designed to work on controlled-access freeways, and, in the vast majority of cases, stationary objects near a freeway would be on the side of the road (or suspended above it) rather than directly in the car's path. Early adaptive cruise control systems simply didn't have the capability to distinguish the vast majority of objects that were near the road from the tiny minority that were on the road.
So cars were programmed to focus on maintaining a safe distance from other moving objects—cars—and to ignore stationary objects. Designers assumed it would still be the job of the human driver to pay attention to the road and intervene if there was an obstacle directly in the roadway. [emphasis added by me - Borepatch]
This may be a fundamental problem with this approach to driver assistance technology. The ADAS is supposed to do most of the driving, but the human driver is supposed to still monitor the system and make sure it doesn't make mistakes. But our brains aren't wired for this level of monotony. Monitoring a system that works correctly 99 percent of the time is in some ways harder—not easier—than just driving the car yourself. And monitoring a system that works correctly 99.9 percent of the time is even harder, because it's that much easier for our brains to get distracted by something else.

Salisteen, a very powerful colleague of McGowan's, suspects a demon is loose in her city, the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Something has murdered and possessed the souls of a string of young girls. At her request, McGowan brings Paul down to see if his special necromantic powers might be of help in hunting down the demon. McGowan also brings Colleen and Katherine. But Salisteen's hidden agenda is for her and another senior practitioner to have a look at Paul, and he finds himself under their microscope.
From Anogh Paul gets hints that Suzanna's death was not an accident. But Anogh's insinuations are vague and frustratingly obtuse, and Paul begins to suspect that Anogh murdered Suzanna, or at least had something to do with her death. It's then that Paul starts to realize the dead, and maybe a few Sidhe, still aren't quite dead enough, and that they probably just need a little helping hand to get there.

Liking it more and more!
Although not as intriguing as the first book (obviously a lot of the initial mystery and confusion are cleared up in the first book!), there’s definitely still enough to keep things interesting and the story is great!
Having listened to the first book directly prior meant already being used to the narrator so it is even more enjoyable! ...already started book 3!
Action Packed Paranormal Fantasy!
This is book two in The Dead Among Us series, if you haven't read book one, I'd recommend picking that one up first! This series is perfect for fans of paranormal fantasy and horror.
Book two begins with Paul apprenticed to the old wizard McGowan. McGowan is trying to teach Paul to master his own particular brand of magic, necromancy, which hasn't been seen in centuries. Paul still has trouble taking the whole wizard thing seriously, and Katherine is wary of his powerful potential. They're invited to Dallas to investigate a series of mysterious deaths. A demon is possessing the souls of young girls and McGowan's colleague in Dallas wants to use Paul's talents to get to the bottom of it.
Meanwhile, in the Faerie realm, the Summer Queen and Winter King are plotting to bind Paul to their respective courts. To do this, they enlist the help of the black fae. Anogh, the Summer Knight, has plans of his own, and drops hints to Paul that he may have knowledge about the events surrounding Suzanna and Cloe's deaths.
This was an action-packed book that kept me up listening late into the night. Some new magic users were introduced, but the focus was still on McGowan, Katherine, Colleen, and Paul, all my favorites. I liked the crusty old wizard, and Colleen was mysterious and fascinating. Paul was still facing his own demons, figuratively and literally, and Katherine had her own bad relationship issues popping up which had her asserting her independence. The magic was interesting, and the writing so clear you could imagine everything as it happened. And of course, it had some really funny moments that had me laughing out loud!
J.L. Doty is both author and narrator, and did a great job. He performed voices for each character and he made them come to life. I requested a copy of the audiobook, and I'm voluntarily leaving a review. I do want to leave a little trigger warning: Sex is used as a weapon and tool for pain in some situations, so if that bothers you, this book may not be for you.

Local hospitals should not be required to share ventilators and other equipment with downstate medical facilities coping with an influx of COVID-19 patients, Assemblyman Dan Stec and US Representative Elise Stefanik argue.
Both have issued statements responding to Governor Andrew Cuomo’s announcement that he would sign an Executive Order to allow the state to redistribute ventilators from institutions that have no immediate need for them to hospitals whose resources are being depleted.
“Our hospitals already possess precious few ventilators and PPE, and we are going to need all of them to care for our vulnerable population. We can’t have these vital resources taken from us,” stated Dan Stec.
Elise Stefanik issued a statement April 3 that claimed: “North Country hospitals (have) reached out to my office with this specific concern– our rural hospitals are already very limited in resources and we must ensure Upstate New York’s needs for testing supplies and ventilators are fully met.”
Yet local hospitals, large and small, are willing to share their resources with downstate providers, the Lake George Mirror is learning.
Through its spokesman, vice president for community relations Ray Agnew, the Glens Falls Hospital stated: “We will still be able to care for our community members in need, even with the diversion of a portion of our equipment. Our team has worked tirelessly to ensure we are fully prepared to care for patients affected by COVID-19, and we are incredibly proud of our physicians, nurses, caregivers and staff.
“We are facing an unprecedented crisis in New York and across the country. Glens Falls Hospital remains committed to doing our part to end this pandemic.”
It is not clear which North Country hospitals “reached out” to Stefanik’s office with concerns about sharing resources.
Asked if the University of Vermont Health Network – Elizabethtown Community Hospital, which operates the Emergency Room in Ticonderoga, was among them, spokeswoman Elizabeth Rogers said, “No.”
Asked if hospital administrators feared that it would lack the resources needed to care for patients, Rogers said, “No.”
“At this stage, some of our resources may be needed to support the COVID-19 response in New York City. When the surge reaches Northern New York, Governor Cuomo assured us that the support will be reciprocated,” said Rogers.
Rogers said the University of Vermont Health Network – Elizabethtown Community Hospital, is “working closely with hospitals in New York and across the University of Vermont Health Network to prepare for an increase in COVID-19 patients in our region.”
Ray Agnew said the Glens Falls Hospital also expects to have access to the medical providers and equipment necessary to care for its patients.
The Glens Falls Hospital is participating in a state-wide initiative to share information, supplies, staff and patients among hospitals across New York, said Agnew.
(When asked by the Lake George Mirror during a conference call with local media on April 3 if her claims that North Country hospitals are concerned about diminishing resources conformed with the hospitals’ own statements, Stefanik replied that the hospitals could speak for themselves.)
In advance of a surge in COVOD-19 patients, expected to occur within the next few weeks, the Glens Falls Hospital has complied with a New York State order to increase the number of staffed beds by 50%, said Agnew.
On its own, and with the state’s permission, the hospital has converted anesthesia machine ventilators for use in Intensive Care Units, said Agnew.
The hospital is marshalling other resources, such as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as well, said Agnew.
The Ticonderoga campus of the University of Vermont Health Network – Elizabethtown Community Hospital is currently evaluating patients with COVID-19 symptoms in dedicated space in the Emergency Department, said Elizabeth Rogers.
Given the limited numbers of kits available for testing for the virus, only patients “who require hospital care and frontline health care workers” are being tested for COVID-19, said Rogers.
As of now, the Ticonderoga branch is deploying “ventilator support” only when a patient is being transported from one facility to another, but “we are preparing for the potential situation that we would be providing ventilation care on (the Ticonderoga) campus,” she said.
Rogers said the Medical staff at Ticonderoga does have an adequate supply of PPE, but that the University of Vermont Health Network – Elizabethtown Community Hospital is accepting donations of medical grade N95 masks.
Ray Agnew said the Glens Falls Hospital was also in need of those masks for its health care workers.
Agnew said he was impressed by the support offered hospitals and health care workers by the community, from supplies to expertise and even facilities.
It occurred to Silver Bay YMCA Conference and Family Retreat Center CEO Steve Tamm, for one, that if a surge in COVID-19 patients occurs in the Lake George region, the resources of the local hospitals may be strained.
That’s why he’s offered Silver Bay’s facilities to New York State for use as a temporary hospital, should one be needed in this area.
“I wanted to make sure that our folks in Ti, Hague, Chester, Bolton would have a local temp Hospital if, God forbid, things got worse,” said Tamm. “It was my understanding that local hospitals and health care providers were planning for a lack of hospital beds.”
“Silver Bay, with our own fresh water plant and waste water treatment plant, full kitchen and dining space able to feed and accommodate several hundred people, lodging space with ample bedding plus various large conference spaces that can accommodate a triage or other hospital set-up seemed like the right thing to offer,” Tamm said.
Ray Agnew said Silver bay’s offer was “wonderful.”
The Glens Falls Civic Center, local hotels (including many in Lake George) have also offered space if needed, said Agnew.
“Silver Bay’s is certainly a very generous offer,” said Jane Hooper, a spokeswoman for Hudson Headwaters Health Network, who noted that as a primary care provider, Hudson Headwaters “could support local hospital facilities in a variety of ways.”
This story will be updated as more information becomes available.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — On Thursday, former Palm Beach Gardens Police Officer Nouman Raja will be sentenced for manslaughter and attempted murder of Corey Jones.
The Jones family is reminiscing about the memories they have with Corey and the difficult journey to what they call justice for their loved one.
Watching old videos of his cousin Corey learning the chickpea process at his restaurant, Rahein Jones can’t help but feel mixed emotions on the day before sentencing.
“He was just saying how all he wants to do is use his time wisely,” said Jones about time his cousin will never get now.
Contemplating the memories, Rahein is thinking about Raja’s sentencing.
“I’m hoping that honestly, that he gets life, that he gets enough time to sit back and think about the actions that he, and the impact that he caused not just for our family, but his family,” said Jones.
Corey, who was 31 when he was shot and killed by Raja, was stranded off I-95 in Palm Beach Gardens when Raja, who was on duty and in plain clothes, pulled up in an unmarked car. Moments later, Corey was dead. Rahein sat through every day of the trial. He still feels like it was just yesterday when his cousin would come help at the restaurant, The New Vegan in Delray Beach, after he got out of work.
“We were so happy in that video. We were so full, everything was so full of life,” he said.
Corey played the drums for several bands and at church, Jones said.
“I met a child that Corey taught how to drum with one arm, this kid had one arm,” said Jones.
Rahein’s hope is that Corey’s legacy will live on even after Raja’s sentencing. But for now he finds himself thinking about the yesterdays and tomorrow.
“It didn’t hit me till last night, that we don’’t know how much time we have,” he added.
Raja will be sentenced at 1:30 p.m. Thursday by Judge Joseph Marx. He could face 25 years to life in prison for the attempted murder charge alone.

Jewellery brand Pandora has reported a 10% drop in like-for-like sales in its third-quarter results.
Overall earnings over the quarter, before interest and tax, fell by 25%. Meanwhile, the company’s organic growth for the year is expected to land between -7% and -9%, despite previous forecasts of a growth between -3% and -7%.
Company shares plunged 13% today in the wake of this profit warning.
Alexander Lacik, chief executive of Pandora, said he has made efforts to “assure” investors the decline is not permanent, and rather the short-term result of initiatives to revitalise the brand.
Efforts were launched to rebrand the company and clean up inventory earlier this year, with such initiatives as Programme Now hoping to garner newfound consumer interest in their products.
Despite the poor figures and declining sales, Lacik said: “The third quarter was an important milestone for Pandora. Our brand initiatives that stated in last August received good feedback from consumers, and the early positive indications are supporting our expectations for solid Christmas trading.
“We continue to believe that we will see an improvement in like-for-like in the fourth quarter, although the exact magnitude is clearly subject to uncertainty.”
He added: “Third quarter financial results were marked by our deliberate commercial reset and we will continue to make any necessary decisions that support the long term health of Pandora.”
Deborah Aitken, a senior analyst at Bloomberg Intelligence, said: “While not a quick fix, Pandora’s rebranding strategy will likely rekindle desirability for the name in 2020.
“New designs, collaborations and fewer promotions will aid its jewellery charms offer. A store and product realignment includes a smaller retail footprint and inventory buybacks.”

To many writers in comics today, villains are the most interesting people, as Bugs Bunny likes to say. In the past, I’ve talked about how the Joker has his own set of fans, not to mention Luthor. Well, one of the comics creators who can successfully understand the minds of villains in both the Marvel and DC universes is Cullen Bunn, who recently started up his Magneto series with the House of Ideas, and is now giving DC their own baddie-centric comic!
Marvel has announced that artist Dale Eaglesham will be joining Greg Pak on The Incredible Hulk in February, as the Hulk smashes his way through the Savage Land in “Planet Savage”. “I’m having the most fun I’ve had in years right now. I feel like a kid in a candy store – Hulk, KaZar, the Savage Land? It doesn’t get any better than that for me,” says Eaglesham. “A Hulk book means that I get to unabashedly draw musculature, which everyone knows I love. And I get to work with Greg, who is such a good guy, a real team
