From TSN's Frank Seravalli:
With early revenue projections in place, the NHL and NHLPA set the escrow withholding rate for players at 16 per cent for the first quarter of the season on Thursday.
That means every player will have 16 per cent of earnings deducted from their paycheque and put aside until after all of this season’s hockey-related revenue is counted to ensure a perfect 50-50 revenue split with owners.
“Escrow” is the dirtiest word in hockey locker rooms.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said earlier this month the league is projected to pull in more than $4 billion in revenue, but he was not comfortable divulging a more specific estimate publicly.
Players will receive their first of 13 paycheques for the season on Oct. 15. They will also each pay $30 per day in NHLPA union dues, according to Gavin Management Group, for each day on an NHL roster - or $5,580 per full season with 186 working days.
Based on past returns, it is unlikely the players will receive that escrow money back in full. Since 2009-10, players have given a chunk of their escrow fund to the owners every season, resulting in what amounts to a pay cut.

Campfire Chronicles: Embracing Nature and Finding Acceptance
Kia ora!💚 In a world where life can feel as unpredictable as chasing drop bears (with a few cheeky magpies in the mix), my beloved (let's call them MB) and I have always shared an unshakable love for the great outdoors. Camping, with its promises of pure, unadulterated fresh air and the sweet serenade of native birdlife, offers us a slice of paradise away from the non-stop buzz of the 'real' world.
Whenever things start to feel a bit stagnant, a tad sticky, and everything seems to close in on me, searching for that small pocket of fresh air is akin to hunting for 'Wally' in a new adventure book. It can get downright hectic, and trust me, we've had our fair share of challenges this year. It's been a rollercoaster ride of hard decisions, unexpected surprises, and, well, a whole lot of, "Wait, did that just happen?"
But we've learned to go with the flow, even if it sometimes means stumbling around a few corners. So, we decided it was high time to pack up and head out into the bush. Just us, a swag, and our two four-legged camp brats – we love those furry rascals to bits!
The beauty of nature is that it's an invitation to embrace its quirks and imperfections. Whether it's the ever-changing weather or the curious critters sharing our camping spot (no, not the legendary drop bears, just your everyday possums), nature teaches us to accept and celebrate the unexpected surprises that come our way.
It didn't take long before MB had their utility belt on, ready to forage for berries and identify every native plant species in sight. "Hey, babe, maybe we should start with a cold beer and a leisurely gaze at the ants?" I chuckle inwardly.😏 But, you know, that's just MB – always ready for an adventure.
As I shared a few high fives with mozzies (and probably more than a few bites), I found myself soaking it all in. In the tranquillity of the wild, we often find moments for introspection. Those quiet moments by the campfire, gazing into the flickering flames, provide the perfect opportunity to ponder our lives, our dreams, and the winding paths we're on. It's a conversation with our inner selves, a chance to accept and make peace with who we are.
The outdoors encourages us to move to the rhythm of nature. We rise with the sunrise and tuck in when the stars take over. It's about embracing the basics – gathering firewood, cooking over an open flame, navigating by the stars, and simply being. I can't get enough of that feeling.
Being off the grid, away from the incessant pings! on my phone, is nothing short of liberating. It's a reminder that not everything demands an instant response. Like a "Do Not Disturb" sign on a door, it's okay to take a break and savour the peace of being unreachable.
When things get a bit rough around the edges, heading into the bush leads us to a richer, more satisfying existence, filled with experiences, growth, and moments of serenity. These life lessons may be as uncomfortable as a warm banana thickshake left out in the sun too long, but they hold the promise of true deliciousness.😏
That's all from me. Go embrace nature, soak in the feelings, and let go of whatever doesn't belong. Love your guts, Shel.💚💚

Opera has revealed that its desktop browser downloads have tripled since the new "browser ballot" rolled out across Europe as part of Microsoft's package to appease the EU over competition issues.
The browser ballot sees Microsoft make consumers that have PCs with Internet Explorer set as the default browser aware that it's not the only browser on the market with a new screen that promotes Microsoft's competitors like Opera and Mozilla.
It highlights 12 other options in total, although only five show up on the first screen (IE, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and Opera) the consumer sees — something that has drawn criticism from the smaller browsers hidden away on different pages.
"In several major countries, Opera downloads have tripled since the ballot screen appeared," Rolf Assev, the chief strategy officer for Opera told Reuters. The surges in downloads for Opera — which recently released version 10.5 — have been seen most heavily in Belgium, France, Spain, Poland and the UK.
While Apple and Google traditionally don't comment on these kind of figures on request, we've asked Mozilla for comment on how its downloads have been affected and will let you know the results when we hear back.

The National Industrial Research and Development Agency (NIRDA) will from January next year embark on a study aimed at developing good quality Made in Rwanda cheese, Olivier Kamana, NIRDA’s Head of Applied Research and Development Department has said.
He indicated that lack of quality sustainability threatens Rwanda’s cheese exports, pointing out that “quality without safety doesn’t make sense, and safety without quality doesn’t make sense as well.”
The study, he said, will consider various factors including cow feed, water, season, quality of milk, transport, processing machines, storage environment, as well as sensory evaluation.
Sensory evaluation seeks to rank various cheese based on their quality (taste).
He told Sunday Times that NIRDA requested Rwf320 million from the Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning to be spent on this project that seeks to make Rwanda’s cheese industry competitive.
Rwanda has been doing well in terms of cheese safety, but the challenge now is on cheese quality and making it constant, Kamana said.
“We hope that within three years, there will be about three types of cheese based on the producing region such as Gishwati and Gicumbi,” he told the Sunday Times.
“After getting quality cheese through a comprehensive study, we will teach processors what they should do to make the same cheese and maintain its good quality,” he said.
Lack of constant cheese quality is supposedly due to use of milk from different locations and different cows which have been fed differently, as well as ineffective milk handling and processing techniques.
Kamana said that they will establish a link between feeds and their impact on milk and cheese quality.
Rwanda exports cheese to countries like the Central African Republic, Congo Brazzaville, and Gabon but, Kamana said that the plan is to expand the market.
He said that some foreign consumers who bought cheese from Rwanda complained that its quality was not constant, which resulted in decline in its consumption, despite being cheaper than cheese brands from other countries.
“If you buy a cheese in a supermarket today, you will not find the same cheese the next day if you want to buy; the taste will not be the same,” he said.
“We want to make the made in Rwanda cheese a perfect product which can compete with those in other countries such as France,” he said.
He said that they were now in the process of establishing a partnership with Workforce Development Authority (WDA) to hold a kind of professional training on cheese making that can be offering a certificate to cheese makers.
Emmanuel Kageruka, Managing Director of Gishwati Farms Ltd, told Sunday Times that the quality of cheese is sometimes impaired by the fact that clients need cheese before it reaches maturity.
"After cheese is made, it takes three weeks to mature. But, sometimes clients want to get it only after five days," he said.
Meanwhile, he said that the feed that cows eat play a major role in the quality of the milk it produces, as well as that of the cheese.
"What a cow consumes determines the quality of milk it produces," he said.
"For instance, the banana trunks have acidity which can be tasted in the milk and the cheese. It affects the quality," he said.
Rwanda's overall dairy exports (including milk, cheese, and yoghurt) experienced a drop of 56 per cent in revenues – as 9.3 million kilogrammes were exported generating more than $9 million in 2018/2019 against 17.5 million kilogrammes exported, according to the 2018/2019 report by the National Agricultural Export Development Board (NAEB).Follow https://twitter.com/EmNtirenganya

Curls of any sort are a beautiful way to dress up your hair. With all the festive holiday times approaching, now is a great time to brush up on roller setting techniques so you can dazzle them with your beauty.
What kind of curl do you want to create? A loose, undulating wave, bouncy spiral coil?
Maybe just a basic set to amp up the volume or build a foundation for an updo?
Whatever the purpose, a strong set is the key to good results. Get detailed instructions on how to use rollers to wind your way to curl envy status.


A new year is supposed to reset our internal timelines, guide us back onto the path of motivation and be the incentive for positivity, let alone the start of an entirely new decade. However, 2020 is starting with dismal energy due to the threats of war and a full-throttle thrust into the global warming pandemic. So to say that the first few weeks of the new year, and the new decade, has been intense, is an understatement.
While we’re all making half-hazardous jokes about preparing for a world war — i.e.: how to survive if other parts of the world start to be engulfed in flames, submerged in water and all these other armageddon lifestyles choices, I want to bring a little pause to that. This is why, I write to you all to provide a glimmer of hope, even if it just for the three minutes it takes you to read this article. Maybe by discussing the prosperous hope of the 2020 music scene, an apocalyptic soundtrack, if you must, will give you the strength to beat out whatever it is 2020 throws your way.
Before 2019 ended there had been a lot of rumours floating around, like exciting collaborations, projects, tours, so forth. This is why I have decided to limit this post to the more “confirmed” albums, as well as strictly the ones that hold interest to me. So, please, none of that “uhh Megadeth?” or “bUT RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE IS PLAYING COACHELLA”
Yes, yes, all very exciting and dandy. I am keen on both pieces of news, but I’m not going to sit here and lie to you that they hold my deepest interests. With that being said, let’s look at my list, and feel free to comment below what is on YOUR list!
(stealing Revolver Magazines format because it made the most sense to me)
Release Date: TBA
Editing Darya: I love how I said I’m only going to talk about ‘confirmed’ albums, and yet, the very first album is nowhere close to confirmed, we’re off to a great start!
The Swedish band has taken 2019 by storm by becoming one of the focal points of the hard-rock scene and stealing the attention of many. After such a grandiose 2019 for the band (and well, the fans too), this new year is leaving many of us fans yearning for more. Sadly, in true Ghost puppeteer, Tobias Forge, manner… he has given us many dubious comments about whether or not we will be spoiled with more in the new decade.
Forge confirmed that 2020 is the year that the band will finally take a well earned touring pause. I mean, seriously, they’ve been on tour for like 10 years straight. Yet, Tobias claims the reason for this ‘break’ isn’t because he’s ready to take out his swimming trunks and park himself on a beach. He shared it’s so he can focus wholeheartedly on new Ghost music, so he can send it off into our deteriorating world as soon as possible…and even tested that we might get it as early as late 2020.
SO the probability is in good odds, knowing Tobias (not…personally, but by being a very intense fan of the brilliant man) he won’t leave us high and dry and will give us something this year. Will it be the death of Cardinal Copia? Or maybe the death of Papa Nihil? Will we ever get an explanation as to why the Cardinal Copia plushie looks like a literal potato?

Back in September 2019, the French progressive-metal band shared with Kerrang! Magazine:
“[…]I can tell you that we are working very hard on the new stuff. Work is in progress and we are very happy and super proud of it. We just can’t wait to give you more details […]”
This will be the band’s first album since the massively successful album “Magma”, that was released back in 2016. Therefore, it’s safe to say that this upcoming record has been long anticipated by fans around the world. Magma was an explosively popular album for the band, charting the highest any of their records ever have and sold almost 170,000 copies in the first week of its release.
Thus, one can argue that the pressure for the band’s 7th studio album is building, people may be anticipating another Magma. Luckily, the four-piece are long-time professionals in the industry and, thus, are able to their cool in terms of a release date, and focusing on working at their own pace. No talk since September, however, fans have a feeling they won’t have to wait too far into 2020.
No news is good news, right?
Release Date: TBA
In the last two months, the Swedish-melodic-death-metal band has been documenting their recent studio ventures and teasing fans of this highly anticipated post-Avatar Country album.
The band is best known for its extensively well-thought-out thematic concept album, announced in late 2019, before beginning the recording process, that they will take the challenge of ditching the themes and concepts.
*insert whiny metalhead complaints*
Despite the news being shocking to many, since they had just gone through all the elaborate inventive effort of creating this whole world around their last album “Avatar Country” (2018) — I mean, they did a concept film, a simulation website, passports to go with their country thematics… they even have a “king” hot sauce…
Nevertheless, Avatar had initially been a melodic death metal band with no costumes, themes or characters. It was not until their 4th studio album that the band began painting their faces and dressing in costume. So if anything, the band’s going back to their roots, just with more experience, budget and success in their tool belts.
If you follow me on Instagram or Facebook, you would know how big of a fan I am of the band, and how much financial support I’ve willingly given to the five men of the band. Therefore, you can probably guess how excited I am for this new album.
Concept or no concept, just give me new Avatar music please (and a tour).
Release Date: TBA
In 2017, the shock rock icon, Marilyn Manson, dropped his highly awaited record “Heaven Upside Down”. The controversy surrounding the albums name & release date change had many people questioning if the album was ever going to come out. First, the record was to be called “Say10”, which Manson dramatically announced the name at the Golden God Awards, and it was to be released on Valentine’s Day.
Valentine’s Day 2017 came and went and there was no news, then there were rumours about a title change, THEN we got a new release date…However, after Valentine’s stand up, people were doubting Manson actually had a new record. But it came, and even then, people were still not pleased about it.
The record itself had a lot of mixed reactions. It’s Manson’s lowest-selling album to date, and least controversial (despite the title of it being changed from ‘say10’ to ‘heaven upside down’).
Despite the love-hate reaction that he [Manson] is used to, back in July 2019 he shared that his upcoming LP will be once again recorded with Shooter Jennings. Since then, Manson has dropped two latest singles — a cover of The Doors‘ “The End” and an eerie take on the folk standard “God’s Going To Cut You Down” — indicating that Manson will be revisiting the gothic blues persona he had taken up during “The Pale Emperor”.
Personally, one of my all-time favourite Manson albums is “The Pale Emperor”. At his current age, health and level of commitment to music, I think it’s the sound that suits him the best, and you can tell he enjoys it too.
The Pretty Reckless
Title: TBA (Rumored to be titled Death by Rock and Roll)
Release Date: TBA
American Rock band The Pretty Reckless are most known for their former-actress-and-now- front-woman, Taylor Momsen. However, the band was quick to shift their attention as a talented up and coming hard rock band with the release of their debut record “Light Me Up“(2010). On it, the band had three successful singles that carried the success of the American four-piece.
Sadly, the recognition for the band shifted when The Pretty Reckless became known as the last opening act for pioneer band, Soundgarden, at their final show with Chris Cornell before the singer’s suicide. Since the death of legendary Cornell, the band has notably felt guilt and sadness for the loss of their great inspiration and have been doing everything in their power to pay their respects.
Since Taylor Momsen sang onstage with the surviving members of the grunge icons at the “I Am the Highway: A Tribute to Chris Cornell” benefit show in January of 2019. It is evident that the band’s have kept close contact with each other and even hinted at major collaborations for The Pretty Reckless’ upcoming LP. Momsen shared on Instagram that she and the band have been recording with Soundgarden’s (and Pearl Jam‘s) drummer, Matt Cameron in Seattle, as well as Soundgarden’s notably recognizable guitarist, Kim Thayil.
Growing up, I was a massive The Pretty Reckless fan. Momsen radiates everything I wanted to be (and still does); confident, talented, and generally cool. Then, I got a little older and discovered the big 4 Seattle sound bands, and became very attached to Cornell. His death impacted my life immensely, therefore, I know for a fact that this album will chart highly in albums that mean a lot to me…and frankly, I cannot wait.
Release Date: TBA
‘68 is an American garage rock band from Atlanta, Georgia. Since the release of duo’s sophomore album “Two Parts Viper (2017)”, that I’ve boldly labelled one of the best rock albums of the decade, the lineup has changed from band originators Josh Scogin and Michael McClellan to Josh Scogin and Nikko Yamada.
This outrageously energetic dynamic power between Scogin and Yamada quickly stole my attention in 2019 and has since become my number one rated “ones to watch out for” rock band. I spent most of 2019 writing about how incredible the pure raw rock’n’roll passion the two emanate on stage, which only makes sense that I’m starting 2020 raging about how excited I am to see what the two do in the studio together.
Scogin and Yamada have shared repeatedly on social media that a new album is in the process of being made, and have also shared that we, the fans, don’t have to wait too long to listen to what will most likely be the rock album of the year.
Release Date: March 27, 2020
I knew putting off this article would pay off in one way or another. As I sit here and write this article on the 13th of January 2020, my email has been flooded by Pearl Jam HQ in regards to the new album announcement.
Pearl Jam doesn’t need any introduction, if you are unsure of who they are, then… We cannot be friends. What you do need to know, however, is that it’s been nearly seven (7) years since Seattle’s band the last album. In 2013, Pearl Jam released Lightning Bolt, earning them a Grammy award and have since been “touring”* the record.
*touring is in quotation because it’s been a while since the band has done a proper tour, and is mostly doing specialty stadium tours — but they’ve just announced a new tour, woo!
Alas, the wait is over and the TenClub (which acts like Pearl Jam’s HQ) announced that:
“ Pearl Jam will release their much anticipated eleventh studio album, Gigaton, on Monkeywrench Records/Republic Records on March 27 in the US. Internationally, the album will be released and distributed by Universal Music Group. Produced by Josh Evans and Pearl Jam, Gigaton marks the band’s first studio album since GRAMMY award-winning Lightning Bolt. Gigaton is available for pre-order now at http://www.pearljam.com. The first single, “Dance of the Clairvoyants,” will be released in the coming weeks.” – TenClub
Although I will not be attending their “North American” 2020 tour, nor their European shows, I will be proudly blasting this album. Long live Pearl Jam.
Release Date: TBA
Foo Fighters, like Pearl Jam, need no introduction. The American rock band, fellow Seattle-crew began posting teasing, yet ominous social media posts hinting at a new 2020 album. On December 31st, 2019, the Foo Fighters posted a picture of a recording microphone in a bathtub with the caption “come on in, the water’s fine… #FF2020 #FF25 #happynewyear”… with these posts have continued into the new year building the hype.
The iconic rock band received mixed reviews on its 2017 album Concrete and Gold. The band called the album a “hard extreme record with pop sensibilities”, and of course, that triggered a lot of long-time rock fans (mainly, men). People have since been begging the band to go back to their more “garage rock” roots.
Thankfully all this noise isn’t jading the band’s recording process, as frontman, Dave Grohl recently shared that he is proud that he makes “uncool” “dad-rock” music, and that is what to expect of the band from that point forward.
I, for one, love Dave’s dorky dad-joke side and will support this dad-rock band. Hit me with the dad-rock, boys.
Thomas V. Jäger
Release Date: TBA
The frontman of Swedish doom-metal band, Monolord, announced earlier in 2019 that despite the band’s departure from American record label RidingEasy Records, he is set to debut his solo record with the label.
Jäger has been sharing that between the band’s incessant touring, he has been in the process of recording his music. The Swedish riff-lord recently shared on Instagram that “[…] the album will be released 2020 on RidingEasy Records. Don’t expect heavy down-tuned rock. Expect pain, sorrow & death in an acoustic shroud”.
Despite being a massive fan of his “heavy down-tuned rock”, “pain, sorrow & death” seems to be a sensible theme for this year, and I am a fan of anything this man does. I cannot wait to hear it.
Title: Tulumus & Adraya
Release Date: May 2020 & October 2020
Good friends of mine, Advent Vraic, a blackened stoner metal band, shared with me that 2020 is going to be the year all of us join the band on the planet tulumus.
The progressive metal band shared with me that in May 2020 they drop “Tulumus” on Interstellar Smoke Records and in October of 2020 they release Adrya. Tulumus is a re-release with extra content and Adrya is a brand new album from the band.
I know this band, and I can vouch that they are creative gems that make kickass music, and I am hyped to hear more from them. Check them out, you won’t regret it.
Release Date: TBA
Self-acclaimed “Swedish Fuzzience Fiction rock” band, is another group of individuals that became a quick favourite of mine in 2019. Last year, the group dropped their third studio LP “Eorpe”, and heavily toured the successful underground album.
As discussed previously, the album was a huge favourite of mine that played a significant role in the turbulent time. Despite not expecting more from the band, since the preceding record was released 4 years before Erope, the band has shown on social media that they’re already back in the studio working on a new album.
Editing Darya: The band shared with me that “Our goal is to release something this year, but it’s hard to say if we will get there.”
Honorary mentions: Uncle Acid, Warish, Sundrifter, The Ugly Kings, Electric Monolith, Ville Valo, Tainted Lady& Birthday Girl — all bands that I’ll be keeping a close eye on this year, and will update all of you if there is new music from them.
Until next time Interwebs! 🕸

Get the latest updates on IoT for smart cities.
You are following this topic.
As more cities pursue climate action plans, a new vision has captured the attention of building owners, designers, and operators: a smart building that uses energy so efficiently, its carbon footprint isn’t just reduced but eliminated. Toward that end, companies like Amazon and Google have already set aggressive Net Zero goals—hoping to transform their buildings into eco-friendly machines that don’t consume more electricity than they produce.
Businesses are equally focused on elevating the environment inside their buildings because they know the productivity of their biggest asset, the workforce, depends on it. After all, employees do their best work when they’re comfortable, safe and in a healthy environment.
Until recently, an energy-efficient building that also meets the needs of its occupants would have been very difficult to achieve. Just think of the costs associated with electrifying and cooling an entire floor of a building for a few essential employees working on a weekend.
But new smart-building technologies are changing the game. Now companies don’t have to choose between a reduced carbon footprint, a safe and comfortable occupant experience, or cost savings. Advanced data analytics and AI-powered insights help them achieve all three.
Net Zero Optimization Depends on Cohesive Data
What is the key to transforming a building from a passive structure to invaluable business tool? A “single pane of glass” that can view, command, and optimize performance across multiple building systems. That is, operators need real-time insights into what’s being consumed, at what rate, and why—so malfunctions and inefficiencies can be identified and addressed right away.
This idea applies not only to commodities like energy but also to space allocation and human capital.
“This holistic picture is really the first step toward optimizing your facilities—whether for Net Zero, employee productivity, or both,” says Terrill Laughton, Vice President of Enterprise Optimization and Connected Offerings at smart-building solutions provider Johnson Controls, Inc. (JCI).
The information this kind of optimization requires is difficult to get in a usable fashion in the traditional building environment, where a mix of systems from different eras and providers typically operate independently. Maintaining these isolated systems and mining their data is expensive and difficult. And after all that, gaining tangible and actionable insights would take a highly trained and experienced building professional.
But when systems are connected and data is translated to a common schema, the information can be shared and combined for new and powerful use cases. For example, an operations manager could quickly understand what the organization’s total energy consumption is—across one building, 100, or even 1,000. JCI’s OpenBlue Platform and suite of applications were designed with these goals in mind.
“HVAC, for example, can be responsible for up to 50% of the overall energy consumption in the commercial-building space,” explains Laughton.

The OpenBlue Enterprise Manager can help customers with green and cost-savings goals to ensure the equipment in that central plant is operating dependably, so they can take pre-emptive action if necessary. “Just running your central plant in a smarter way can cut HVAC energy consumption by 15% to 25% and decrease the overall building load up to 10%,” Laughton adds.
The Enterprise Manager works in part by aggregating data from multiple OpenBlue apps such as Location Manager and Companion. Both apps have real-time occupancy capability, which lets building managers power only the spaces being used. And Companion helps occupants, too, by providing productivity-enhancing tools like wayfinding and personalized temperature control.
Fully Integrated, AI-Based Security Systems
This kind of integration is the real value behind OpenBlue. For example, safety and security systems were once completely separate from other systems. But with the advent of IoT technology and AI, they’ve become another important source of building information, while serving their core purpose.
“With all these offerings on a common platform, security information can be used to improve building operations. And likewise, data from other systems can be leveraged to achieve higher levels of security,” says Sara Gardner, Global Head of Strategy and Marketing, Security, at JCI.
Modern security systems look very different from earlier generations, and of course they do much more. Touchless access controls that use mobile credentials or AI-based video analytics make for a hygienic and frictionless authentication process with multiple benefits.
People can move more quickly and safely through a facility when they don’t have to fumble around with access cards or long lines. And information about their presence can be shared with other smart systems—lighting or elevators, for instance—for improved space utilization, better management of energy, and to improve the occupant experience.
Smart Data Analytics Drive Innovation
OpenBlue is delivered through an as-a-service model with standardized capabilities and applications. Clients can build and develop solutions on the platform to meet their needs, and applications are highly configurable to meet a wide range of uses cases. Customers can combine the appropriate smart-building applications and functionality that will meet their immediate needs and add capability over time as their organizations continue to evolve.
Scaling is easy because all systems are connected via a multilayer, infrastructure-agnostic platform. OpenBlue Bridge, the ingestion layer, collects data from different building systems—thanks in large part to Intel® processor-based platforms at the edge.
Once collected, OpenBlue Cloud applies the specific schema where the relationships between different pieces information are understood. For example, there’s a schema to process how a building automation data point might fit with a security data point, explains Laughton: “And that’s when you can leverage the data and start to do something really innovative with it, Net Zero or otherwise.”
But a single Net Zero building or company is just the beginning. “Just imagine if every building across the United States and the world did the same,” says Laughton. “That would be a huge reduction in carbon emissions, and cost-effective, too, since companies wouldn’t have to rely on electricity purchased from the grid.”
The smart office building, warehouse, or hospital of the future is one that improves business while improving lives. By harnessing the power of AI and advanced data analytics, JCI is building it today.

Exploring the Best CBD for Tics
Welcome to our in-depth guide on finding the best CBD for tics. If you or someone you know struggles with tics, incorporating CBD into your wellness routine could potentially provide relief. In this article, we will explore the benefits of CBD, how it works, and the best CBD products available for tics. Let's dive in!
The Science Behind CBD and Tics
Before we delve into the best CBD products for tics, let's briefly explore the science behind how CBD interacts with the body. CBD, short for cannabidiol, is one of the many active compounds found in the cannabis plant. Unlike its cousin THC, CBD does not produce a psychoactive effect. Instead, it interacts with the body's endocannabinoid system, which plays a crucial role in regulating various bodily functions.
Research suggests that CBD may have anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties. These properties make CBD a promising candidate for alleviating the symptoms of neurological disorders such as Tourette's syndrome, which is characterized by repetitive, involuntary movements and vocalizations known as tics.
By modulating the activity of neurotransmitters and reducing inflammation in the brain, CBD may help to calm the overactive pathways responsible for tics. Now, let's explore some of the best CBD products available for tics.
CBD Oil: The Versatile Option
CBD oil is one of the most popular forms of CBD for tics due to its versatility. It can be taken orally, sublingually (under the tongue), or added to food and beverages. When choosing a CBD oil, look for products that are made from organically grown hemp, extracted using CO2 methods, and third-party tested for purity and potency.
The potency of CBD oil can vary, so it's important to find the right dosage for you. Start low and gradually increase until you experience the desired effects. It's also worth considering full-spectrum CBD oils, as they contain other beneficial cannabinoids that may enhance the overall therapeutic effects.
Remember, it's always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before incorporating any new supplement into your routine, especially if you have underlying medical conditions or are taking medications.
CBD Topicals: Targeted Relief
If you're looking for targeted relief for muscle spasms or localized discomfort, CBD topicals could be a great option. These products include creams, lotions, and balms infused with CBD, which can be applied directly to the affected area.
When choosing a CBD topical, opt for products that contain high-quality, full-spectrum CBD. Look for additional ingredients like menthol or camphor, known for their cooling and soothing properties. These can provide an added boost of relief and assist in relaxing the muscles.
Apply the CBD topical generously to the affected area and gently massage it in. You can reapply as needed throughout the day to manage symptoms effectively.
CBD Edibles: Convenient and Discreet
If you prefer a discreet and convenient way to consume CBD for tics, CBD edibles are an excellent choice. These include gummies, chocolates, and other treats infused with CBD. Edibles offer a pre-measured dose, making it easy to control your intake. They also come in various flavors, allowing you to enjoy CBD while satisfying your taste buds.
When selecting CBD edibles, read the product labels carefully to determine the CBD content per serving. Start with a low dose and gradually increase as needed. Keep in mind that edibles take longer to take effect compared to other methods, as they need to be digested first.
Remember to store CBD edibles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain their quality and potency.
The Role of CBD Dosage and Timing
As with any supplement, finding the optimal CBD dosage and timing is key to achieving the best results for tics. It's important to start with a low dose and gradually increase until you find the sweet spot. Keep a journal to track your symptoms and how different dosages impact your tics. This will help you find the right balance for your unique needs.
When it comes to timing, consider taking CBD oil or edibles in the morning to kickstart your day and provide all-day relief. For targeted relief, such as muscle spasms, applying a CBD topical as needed throughout the day can help manage symptoms effectively.
Remember, consistency is key. Incorporating CBD into your daily routine and taking it consistently will maximize its potential benefits for tics.
Choosing the Best CBD for Tics: Key Considerations
When selecting the best CBD for tics, there are a few key considerations to keep in mind. Firstly, opt for products that are made from organically grown hemp and third-party tested for quality and purity. This ensures that you're getting a safe and effective product.
Secondly, consider the CBD concentration and choose a product that aligns with your dosage requirements. Some products may offer higher CBD concentrations, making them suitable for individuals with more severe symptoms.
Lastly, read customer reviews and seek recommendations from trusted sources. Hearing about others' experiences with specific CBD products can help guide you in finding the best option for your tics.
Taking the Next Step Toward Relief
Now that you have a better understanding of the best CBD options for tics, it's time to take the next step towards relief. Explore different CBD products, consult with a healthcare professional, and embark on your CBD journey to manage your tics effectively.
Remember, everyone's experience with CBD is unique, so be patient and allow time to find what works best for you. With the right approach and the best CBD for tics, you may find relief and improve your overall well-being.

Frequently Asked Questions
Welcome to our FAQ section on the best CBD for tics. Here, we address common inquiries regarding the use of CBD to manage tics. Whether you're looking for information on dosages, potential benefits, or CBD product recommendations, we've got you covered. Read on to find answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about CBD for tics.
1. How does CBD help with tics?
CBD, or cannabidiol, interacts with the endocannabinoid system (ECS) in our bodies, which is responsible for regulating various physiological functions. Tics, such as involuntary muscle movements or vocalizations, are thought to be related to imbalances in the ECS. CBD helps restore balance by interacting with ECS receptors, potentially reducing tic symptoms. Additionally, CBD has anti-inflammatory properties that may alleviate any underlying inflammation contributing to tics.
It's important to note that while there is anecdotal evidence and some preliminary research suggesting CBD may help with tics, further studies are needed to fully understand its effectiveness and safety in this specific context.
2. What's the recommended dosage of CBD for tics?
When it comes to CBD dosage for tics, it's crucial to start low and go slow. Every individual is unique, and there's no one-size-fits-all approach. It's recommended to begin with a low dosage, such as 5-10 milligrams of CBD, and gradually increase until you find the optimal dose that provides relief for your tic symptoms. Consulting with a healthcare professional experienced in CBD use can help you determine the right dosage for your specific situation.
Keep in mind that CBD products may come in different concentrations and delivery methods, such as oils, capsules, or gummies. It's essential to read the product label carefully and follow the recommended dosage instructions provided by the manufacturer.
3. Are there any side effects of using CBD for tics?
CBD is generally well-tolerated by most individuals, but it can potentially cause some side effects. Commonly reported side effects include dry mouth, drowsiness, changes in appetite, and diarrhea. These side effects are typically mild and resolve on their own. It's important to note that CBD may interact with certain medications, so it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before using CBD, especially if you're taking any prescription medications.
As with any supplement or medication, it's crucial to monitor how your body reacts to CBD and adjust the dosage accordingly. If any severe or persistent side effects occur, it's best to discontinue use and seek medical advice.
4. Can CBD completely cure tics?
CBD is not a cure for tics or Tourette syndrome, but it may assist in managing the symptoms. Every individual's condition is unique, and the effectiveness of CBD can vary. While some people may experience significant improvements in tic symptoms with CBD use, others may only experience minimal changes or no noticeable difference. It's important to have realistic expectations when using CBD for tics and consider it as part of a holistic approach to managing tic symptoms, including other treatment modalities and lifestyle adjustments.
As always, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment regimen for tics. They can provide personalized advice based on your specific needs and guide you in making informed decisions.
5. Which CBD products are recommended for tics?
When choosing CBD products for tics, it's important to opt for high-quality, reputable brands that prioritize third-party testing to ensure product safety and accuracy. Look for CBD products derived from organic hemp, as they tend to be cleaner and free from potentially harmful contaminants.
Considering the many CBD product options available, it's recommended to start with full-spectrum or broad-spectrum CBD oils. These contain other beneficial compounds found in the hemp plant, such as other cannabinoids and terpenes, which may enhance the overall therapeutic effects of CBD. Additionally, oils allow for easy dosage adjustments by administering drops under the tongue, which allows for faster absorption.
Remember, finding the best CBD product for tics may require some trial and error, as individual preferences and needs can vary. Consulting with a healthcare professional experienced in CBD use can also help in selecting the most suitable CBD product for you.
So, to sum it all up, CBD can be helpful for managing tics. Many people with conditions like Tourette's find relief from their symptoms. However, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before trying CBD, especially for young people. It's crucial to start with a low dose and monitor any effects carefully. CBD is not a magical cure, but it may offer some relief for those struggling with tics.

London attracts tourists not only with its history, but also with the opportunity to stuff its suitcases with clothes and other purchases. What to expect from shopping in the British capital?
Being a buyer in London is really good – the service here is at the highest level, so you get pleasure from purchases if you close your eyes to the price. Return the goods back to the store here is not a problem, you even don't have to tell the reason for the return. With a check and untouched tags, the thing is changed or you get all its value back.
There are streets in London, which must be visited by every self-respecting tourist. They are not just shopping areas, but the most beautiful areas of the city.
Well, we’ve prepared a list of the most popular shopping streets and places.


Every year or so, the Automotive Interest Group selects a new topic and develops it in collaboration with McKinsey & Company as a “project” over several months. The project’s topic is chosen to be important for the automotive industry but also relevant to the semiconductor ecosystem that supports it.
We recently concluded a project titled “Semiconductors for the Autonomous Age”: we are still finalizing the concluding report which we plan to share very soon with all our GSA members.
In the meantime, we worked to define the topic for a new automotive collaboration project which impacts, among other things, on matters of connectivity, computing, Cloud and security. We hope to have many of you involved in analyzing together over the coming months the:
Future of automotive computing: cloud vs. edge – With the rise of connected cars and increasing demand for compute and processing power in vehicles, OEMs start to experiment with hybrid applications running in the vehicle and on a cloud backend. The question if cloud backends can bear part of the processing power of vehicles in the mid-to-long-term will have significant impact on the electronics content of vehicles. We will look into assessing which type of operations could be run hybrid vs. fully on edge vs. on cloud, including intermediary concepts, e.g. local processing in 4G/5G towers to optimize latency. We will also look at the critical security aspects involved in any of these architectures.
Register here for October 28 at 2:00PM CEST, when we are planning our first workshop facilitated by McKinsey on this topic. There will be a strong virtual component to make participation easier for global experts and execs, but we also aim for a physical presence in Munich, for those of you who want to enjoy networking with peers again.
If you have not yet signed up to the Automotive Interest Group mailing, email email@example.com and stay tuned for more details!
About the Automotive Interest Group
The GSA Automotive Interest Group is a neutral, global collaboration platform where automotive ecosystem executives and experts meet with peers, partners, suppliers, and customers to address common industry challenges together.
Every year we select an automotive-related topic to be developed in collaboration with McKinsey & Company as a “project”. The project’s topic is chosen to be important for the automotive industry but also relevant to the semiconductor ecosystem that supports it.
Collaboration projects developed in these past few years include:
- Semiconductors for the Autonomous Age (2021)
- Cybersecurity in Automotive (2020)
- Automotive software and electronics 2030 (2019)
- Rethinking car software and electronics architecture (2018)
Each collaboration project entails a specific project deliverable (a final written report or article), but great value comes to members also through active participation in the knowledge input process: a series of interviews, active workshops and surveys with many industry players / GSA members, plus desk research and market modelling by McKinsey. A final conference is usually organized to present the results and project steering is done by the GSA EMEA Leadership Council.

Peter O’Toole never won an Oscar.
No matter how many times I tell myself this fact, it still seems impossible. Surely he must’ve gotten one, right? But no, eight times he was nominated for Best Actor, and eight times he was denied. Going zero for eight seems statistically unlikely for anyone, but the fact that it happened to one of the greatest actors in film history makes it outright insulting.
In an attempt to figure out why the hell Hollywood did this, I’ve decided to take a closer look at each of the performances for which he was nominated. I probably won’t uncover any decades-long Hollywood plot or some kind of Warren Beatty-style snafu with the envelopes, but I think I can paint a portrait of the high points of the man’s career, and underscore just how ridiculous it is that he never won the highest praise for them.
Get Things We Watch delivered to your inbox
I want to begin with a film that, while not one of his better known works, sums up so much of the allure that O’Toole exuded on-screen: 1982’s My Favorite Year.
The film’s title comes from its opening narration, when its protagonist, Benjy Stone (Mark Linn-Baker) tells us, “1954, you don’t get years like that anymore. It was my favorite year.” Stone writes sketches for The King Kaiser Comedy Cavalcade, a sketch comedy show based on real programs like Sid Caesar’s Your Show of Shows. (Stone himself is based, partially, on a young Mel Brooks, who was a writer for Caesar early in his career.)
Writing jokes for a living is obviously a sweet gig, but it gets even sweeter when Benjy learns the show has booked one of its most famous guests: Alan Swann (Peter O’Toole), an Errol Flynn-esque swashbuckling action star. Stone adores Swann and can quote the scripts of hits like Captain From Tortuga and Defender of the Crown verbatim. So, when he learns he’s going to work with the man, he goes through the roof.
There’s only one slight hiccup: Swann is a raging alcoholic who hasn’t had a box-office hit in years. When he arrives at the Cavalcade’s studio, he bursts into the writers’ room, barely able to stand. The show’s head writer, Sy Benson (Bill Macy) clearly sees this and exclaims “He’s plastered!” to which Swan suavely replies, “So are some of the finest erections in Europe!”
He then attempts to prove his sobriety by doing a somersault, only to flop onto the writers’ table and pass out, spread-eagle. The show’s staff, including head-honcho Stan “King” Kaiser, decide it’s best to dump the washed-up Swann, but Benjy begs them not to, promising that he will make sure that Swann stays sober for the week of rehearsals and the episode’s recording. King agrees, but makes it clear that if he fails, and Swann ruins the show, it’ll be Benjy’s ass on the line.
Over the course of the next week, Benjy attempts to steer Swann away from any temptation to drink. Of course, this doesn’t quite work out, and hijinks ensue. As Swann romps through New York with Benjy close behind, we see O’Toole’s underappreciated gift for physical comedy on full display.
Take for instance, the scene following Swann’s introduction to the show’s writers. Benjy and Swann’s driver, Alfie Bumbacelli (Tony DiBenedetto), tie Swann to the top of his suitcase and have two butlers drag him step-by-step up to his penthouse. As they heave him up each step, Swann theatrically waves his arms, like some kind of insane, drunken conductor. When they get him to his room, Alfie ties Swann’s hands to a coathanger and proceeds to take his clothes off. O’Toole rolls back and forth along the wall, declaring “Oh my god, I’m blind!” when his hat falls over his eyes. This scene would resemble some kind of torture sequence if it didn’t end with the two men leaving the drunk star in a relaxing bubble bath.
Swann’s inebriated acrobatics are hilarious to us, but he himself cannot find much humor in his performing life. He admits to Benjy that “Comedy is a mystery to me,” and quotes the actor Edmund Keane’s famous phrase, “Dying is easy. Comedy is hard.” Swann’s ridiculous antics also contrast his disappointment with his own life. His career is at its tail-end, and he doesn’t feel very accomplished. Amplifying this sense of failure is his estrangement from his own family, including his 12-year old daughter. For all his cinematic heroics and worldwide fame, he can’t help but feel like a fraud.
And to top it all off, “Alan Swann” is just a stage name; his real name, he tells Benjy, is Clarence Duffy. “Nothing about me is what it seems to be,” he says after this revelation.
His feelings of inadequacy reach their peak on Friday night, when the show finally airs. After surviving a week of drunken escapades (including one instance of “mountaineering” down the side of a high-rise apartment building), Benjy and Swan somehow arrive to the studio on time. Swann is all set to go until Benjy mentions the live audience.
“Live? What’s live?…You mean it just goes into the cameras and spills into people’s living rooms?!” he asks Benjy. Swan reveals he has only performed live once in his career (he had one line and forgot it), and the prospect of doing it again scares him to death. “I’m not an actor!” he shouts. “I’m a movie star!”
Swan heads for the exit and grabs the first bottle of liquor he can put his hands on. He roars at Benjy, “Look at me! I’m flesh and blood, life sized, no larger! I’m not that silly goddamn hero. I never was!” But Benjy’s having none of his excuses, telling him, whether he likes it or not, he needs to be “that silly goddamn hero.”
“What does it matter if it was an illusion? It worked!” Benjy screams back at him. He implores Swann to find the courage he showed in his films, telling him it had to be in there somewhere since “no one’s that good an actor.” He then storms off to the set, leaving Swann to his own devices.
Things are not going so great there. King Kaiser, having mocked the corrupt labor leader Boss Rojack on a previous show, is in a fight for his life with the henchmen the Boss sent to teach him a lesson. The tide suddenly turns when Swann appears, swings down from the balcony (in full Musketeer outfit for the skit he’s supposed to do), and helps King fight off the Boss’s henchman. Swan finds his courage, saves the day, and gives Benjy’s “favorite year” its shining moment.
In so many ways, Alan Swann is a reflection of Peter O’Toole. They not only have similar life trajectories–O’Toole was also a famous drunk whose habits destroyed a marriage–but the feelings they provoke in their fans are strikingly similar as well. I’ve never thought of his characters as “silly goddamn heroes,” but they were larger than life figures that he managed to not just embody but give new life. Take Lawrence of Arabia, for example: when you hear that name, you’re far more likely to picture Peter O’Toole than the real T.E. Lawrence. His performance didn’t just mirror history, but reshaped it.
My Favorite Year displays O’Toole’s power to capture the imagination in this way, but it does so while also revealing his vulnerability. While there are plenty of vulnerable moments in O’Toole’s other films, only this film shows him so defenseless as an actor. Seeing O’Toole through the lens of Alan Swann, we see that, despite being a man capable of mighty performances, he is still just a man, with fears and doubts about his own abilities and adequacy. These competing facets of Swann’s (and O’Toole’s) character are central to what make this film such a wonderful depiction of cinematic stardom. Behind stars like Swann or O’Toole, there’s both courage and cowardice. And while their performances may be illusions, that doesn’t mean some truth doesn’t lie beneath them.
I can’t definitively say whether or not O’Toole deserved Best Actor for My Favorite Year (he lost out to typically tough competition: Ben Kingsley for Gandhi). But maybe more so than any of his other films, this one underscores the wide range of performances he is capable of, while also giving us some insight into the tolls such work can take on an actor. In the end, it shows us actors like O’Toole are still just flesh and blood, and that the courage and charisma they exude on screen is something we can all tap into.

The value of Australia’s food and grocery manufacturing industry has grown by 4% to almost $133 billion, according to new data from the Australian Food and Grocery Council (AFGC), with a rise in the value of exports driving the performance.
The latest ‘State of the Industry’ report, which analyses data for 2019/20, has revealed an increase in food and grocery exports – up 7.9% on the previous financial year to $41.3 billion – showing the importance of export markets to local manufacturers.
“In a period affected by drought, bushfires and the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, Australian food and grocery manufacturers demonstrated their resilience and resourcefulness by growing the value of this vitally important industry, particularly in overseas markets,” says AFGC CEO Tanya Barden.
On the domestic front, Covid lockdowns spurred an increase in consumption through supermarket channels, although this was dampened by a reduction in sales through food service channels such as restaurants and convenience stores.
“While the lift in sales is a positive for the industry, it hides the fact that businesses have incurred increased costs due to several factors including the Covid-related expenses of maintaining safe workplaces, operational changes to meet increased demand and address supply chain disruptions, a tripling of sea freight charges and increases in commodity and packaging prices,” Ms Barden said.
“These cost increases follow a decade where costs have grown at double the rate of wholesale prices and there is a need for the industry to recoup costs going forward to maintain viable operations.”
‘State of the Industry’ also shows a 5.2% increase in capital investment in the period but despite this modest increase, capital investment is still well below the levels needed to achieve the vision of doubling the size of the industry by 2030, as set out in the federal government’s Modern Manufacturing Strategy Food and Beverage Roadmap and AFGC’s report, ‘Sustaining Australia: Food and Grocery Manufacturing 2030.’
The AFGC’s ‘State of the Industry’ represents a detailed analysis of Australian food and grocery manufacturing performance and this latest edition provides a snapshot of the industry in the early stages of the Covid-19-related disruption.
Among key findings of the report are:
- A 7.9% increase in the value of exports from the food and grocery manufacturing industry to $41.3 billion.
- A 12.1% increase in the value of imports to $39.9 billion.
- Slight increase in food and grocery’s share of total Australian manufacturing, up 0.4% cent to 32%.
- A slight decline (0.2%) in total industry employment to 270,801 people.
Growth in sales to China were a key driver of exports, with a significant increase in meat exports and a notable 18% increase in human pharmaceutical products, lifting the value of that high-value-added export to $6.6 billion.
Ms Barden said increasing exports of high-value products is a key goal for Australian food and grocery manufacturing, as outlined in the ‘Sustaining Australia’ report.
“The ‘State of the Industry’ data adds to in-depth analysis of the industry done by the AFGC and provides a clear picture of the challenges and opportunities for Australia’s food and grocery manufacturers,” she said.
Reversing a decade-long trend of stagnant investment in the industry is critical to long-term success, Ms Barden said, as is ensuring near-term stability with a more rational approach by retailers to cost pressures than had occurred over the last decade.
“We have said that, with the right policy settings to encourage investment, Australian food and grocery manufacturing can double in value to $250 billion by 2030,” she said.
“Important decisions to encourage investment need to be made now so that the industry can secure a strong future and help the Australian economy rebound from the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic.”
