Victoria's Secret Fashion Show
The Victoria's Secret Fashion Show is an annual fashion show sponsored by and featuring Victoria's Secret, a brand of lingerie and sleepwear. Victoria's Secret uses the show to promote and market its goods in high-profile settings. The show features some of the world's leading fashion models such as current Victoria's Secret Angels Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Behati Prinsloo, Candice Swanepoel, and Lily Aldridge.
American network television broadcasts the show during prime time. The first few shows in the 1990s were held in the days preceding Valentine's Day to promote the brand for this holiday. They were not aired on national television. In 1999 and 2000 the show was webcast. Beginning in 2001, the shows were moved ahead of the Christmas holiday season. Also in 2001, the show made its network television broadcast on ABC, though in all subsequent years, it has been broadcast on CBS. The show has been held at a variety of locations in different cities including Miami, Los Angeles, and Cannes. The first four shows were held at the Plaza Hotel in New York City, but since it has become a televised event it has most often been held at the 69th Regiment Armory in New York City.
The show is a lavish event with elaborate costumed lingerie, varying music by leading entertainers, and set design according to the different themes running within the show. The show attracts hundreds of celebrities and entertainers, with special performers and acts every year. Each year, twenty to forty of the world's top fashion models are selected to perform in the fashion show. In a typical year, this includes about a half dozen women under contract to the company, known as Victoria's Secret Angels, who help publicize the event. The giant angel wings worn by the models, as well as other wings of various forms and sizes such as butterfly, peacock, or devil wings, have become emblematic of the Victoria's Secret brand.
The first fashion show extravaganza, introduced by Stephanie Seymour, was held at the Plaza Hotel in New York City in August 1995. The show also featured Beverly Peele and Frederique van der Wal. This first fashion show occurred two months before The Limited, parent company of Victoria's Secret owner Intimate Brands, sold an initial public offering of a 16 percent stake in the company and almost had Seymour make an appearance at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) for the opening bell. She actually did ring the closing bell at the NYSE as part of the publicity campaign. The subsequent three annual shows were also held at the Plaza.
In 1999, during Super Bowl XXXIII, Victoria's Secret announced a 72-hour countdown to the Internet webcast of the Victoria's Secret fashion show, which resulted in over 2 million internet viewers of the show. Parent company Intimate Brands bought a $1.5 million ($2.1 million today) 30-second television advertisement during the Super Bowl broadcast and spent an additional $4 million ($5.7 million) for subsequent international newspaper advertisements to publicize the event. The show, which was aired by Broadcast.com, featured Tyra Banks, Laetitia Casta, Heidi Klum, Karen Mulder, Daniela Pestova, Inés Rivero, and Seymour. In 1999 and 2000, the show was broadcast live on the internet, but the 2000 show was moved for a year from the usual February event at the Plaza to a May event in concert with the Cannes Film Festival in France to raise money for the Cinema Against AIDS charity; it raised $3.5 million.
In 2001, the show, which was hosted by Rupert Everett, returned to the New York City but at Bryant Park instead of the Plaza. That year, the show made its broadcast debut on ABC, drawing millions of viewers as well as some middle-brow controversy; the Federal Communications Commission received many complaints about the broadcast every year. The show has continued to be broadcast on network television every year since.
From 2002 through 2005, it was held at the Lexington Avenue Armory in New York City. The 2004 show was canceled due to a widespread crackdown on perceived indecency in broadcasting stemming from the Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show controversy, in which Jackson encountered a breast-revealing "wardrobe malfunction". Before the 2005 show, Banks announced her retirement from modeling and embarkation on a television career with The Tyra Banks Show, making the 2005 show a farewell to her decade of fashion shows for the company.
In 2004, instead of the annual fashion show, the Angels (Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Gisele Bündchen, Adriana Lima, and Alessandra Ambrosio) did an Angels Across America Tour, a grassroots campaign for the brand visiting four major cities: New York City, Miami, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles.
The 2006 and 2007 shows were held at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles. On November 13, 2007, the Victoria's Secret Angels were honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame right outside the Kodak Theatre. The 2007 Angels honored in this celebration to mark Victoria's Secret's 25th anniversary on Hollywood Boulevard were Heidi Klum, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Karolina Kurkova, Selita Ebanks, Izabel Goulart, Marisa Miller, and Miranda Kerr. The other models, who also appeared in that year's fashion show, were in attendance that day. The 2008 show coincided with the grand re-opening of the Fontainebleau Miami Beach hotel.
In 2006, Victoria's Secret sub-brand PINK made its debut on the runway. Justin Timberlake opened the show with his popular song "Sexy Back". This year fashion show was the final walk of Gisele Bündchen.
The 2007 show featured a performance by the Spice Girls and gained prominence as the first American TV debut of the band after their comeback. Kanye West was also scheduled to perform at the event, but cancelled his appearance due to his mother's death. will.i.am was called to perform in his place.
The 2008 show was held at Fountainebleu Miami Beach, Florida. Usher was appeared on the show as well as opened it. Unlike the other shows, the runway was designed parallel with the audience seats.
In 2009, the fashion show took place in New York City at the Lexington Avenue Armory, where it was last held in 2005. The 2009 show was notable for featuring the results of a competition, called the Victoria's Secret Model Search, to find a new Victoria's Secret "runway Angel." The winner was announced as Kylie Bisutti.
The 2010 Victoria's Secret Fashion show aired on November 30, 2010 on CBS, and featured performances by Katy Perry and Akon. A promotional ad featured a lipdub for Katy Perry's "Firework". As of 2010, 152 models have walked the show.
In 2011, Kanye West started his song "Stronger" with a tribute to his mother who had died before his scheduled performance four years before, saying: "In 2007, I was supposed to perform this song on this show ...and I lost my superhero. Now she's my super-angel."
In 2012, an outfit worn by model Karlie Kloss, which was reminiscent of Native American attire, sparked controversy due to its alleged stereotypical depiction of Native Americans. Victoria's Secret released a statement of apology shortly after, saying that they will remove it from future advertisements and the broadcast. Kloss apologized on her Twitter account for the outfit and expressed her support for the outfit's removal in the broadcast.
In 2013, the Victoria's Secret Fashion show featured performances by Taylor Swift, A Great Big World, Neon Jungle and Fall Out Boy. Taylor Swift performed "I Knew You Were Trouble", A Great Big World performed "Say Something", UK's Neon Jungle made their US television debut with "Trouble", and Fall Out Boy performed with Taylor Swift in "My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark" and later performed "The Phoenix".
In 2014, the Victoria's Secret Fashion show featured performances by Taylor Swift; for the second year in a row, Ed Sheeran, Ariana Grande, and Hozier. Taylor Swift performed "Blank Space" and "Style". Ed Sheeran performed "Thinking Out Loud". Ariana Grande performed "Love Me Harder", "Bang Bang", "Break Free", and "Problem". Hozier performed "Take Me to Church". During the show, Ariana Grande was performing and was hit by accident with an angel's wings.
The early webcasts were criticized for poor connection, and users that could connect were subjected to low video quality. One critic from The New York Times described the initial 20th-century webcast experience as having felt like he was "watching a striptease through a keyhole".
Some critics have described the 21st-century televised editions of the show as pornographic, while others have described it as both "outright commercialism" and an infomercial. The Federal Communications Commission has received complaints regarding the broadcast, but no fines have been imposed, with the FCC, following the 2001 airing, citing the First Amendment and stating that "sexual or excretory activities or organs in a patently offensive manner as measured by contemporary community standards for the broadcast medium" were not broadcast. In the initial 2001 airing ABC blurred the screen on particularly sheer lingerie. This enabled the show to pass muster with its internal Broadcast Standards and Practices department and to achieve the TV-14 rating. In 2002, the National Organization for Women protested the show calling it a "soft-core porn infomercial." They were joined in protest by the Parents Television Council and other watchdog organizations. CBS has given past shows TV-14 ratings, which is a warning that the show may contain material unsuitable for children age 14 and under. Nonetheless some affiliates have chosen not to air the show in past years including Fisher Broadcasting affiliates in Idaho. In 2009, the American Decency Association organized email letters of protests to sponsors of the show including AT&T, Kentucky Fried Chicken, Netflix, Nikon, and Reebok. CBS has described the event to as "the Super Bowl of fashion".
Typically, one model is chosen among the Angels to wear a bejeweled bra dubbed the "Fantasy Bra". It was first advertised in the Victoria's Secret catalog, but since 2001 has been worn in the Fashion Shows. Prior to each Fashion Show, Victoria's Secret contracts a renowned jewelry designer to craft the bra to be used as a focal point for promoting the fashion show and as a centerpiece within it. The company offers the Fantasy Bra for sale as "the ultimate holiday" gift. However, only the centerpiece from the 2004 Heavenly "70" Fantasy Bra and the 2012 Floral Fantasy Bra and Gift Set have found a buyer. If not bought, the bras are dismantled after a year.
The $15 million price tag for the 2000 bra worn by Gisele Bündchen earned a place in the Guinness World Records as the most expensive item of lingerie ever created. The $3 million 2009 Harlequin Fantasy Bra and the $2 million 2010 Bombshell Fantasy Bra were designed by Damiani. Listed below are the prices per set (including accessories for the 2007 and 2013 editions, the 2013 bra alone is worth $8,000,000). The 2012 Floral Fantasy Bra was accompanied by a $500,000 perfume bottle.

Curry sold more jerseys than any other player during the 2015-16 regular season, according to sales on the NBA's official online website.
New York Knicks forward Kristaps Porzingis finished fourth, the highest season-ending spot on the jersey list for a rookie since James and Carmelo Anthony finished atop the jersey rankings at the end of the 2003-04 season.
Two players on the list jumped to career best-selling highs: Oklahoma City Thunder guard Russell Westbrook was sixth, one spot behind teammate Kevin Durant; and Warriors forward Draymond Green, who finished 13th.
The Warriors finished first among team merchandising for the second straight year. The Chicago Bulls, Lakers, Cavaliers and Knicks rounded out the top five.

text: Day 97. Epic fail or work in progress? It’s just a matter of perspective I guess. Today, these earrings are pretty much a fail. There are so many things wrong with them that I could have decided that I didn’t want to post them here, and I could have simply made another pair of earrings. But failing at making things is how we push ourselves into new places. I loved the design and the idea behind these earrings, but they didn’t turn out how they were supposed to. There are things I can do better, if and when I want to. I am just glad that I tried something very different for me, and while it failed today, it’s still a work in progress if I feel like going back to it. Time will tell.

A bedroom is a personal room meant that will help you unwind and obtain some shut-eye. Additionally, it serves as storage space for private items like clothing, keepsakes, and books. Whether you're beginning fresh or prepared for a furnishings update, it can be challenging to decide what you actually need. No matter if you want retro Mid-Hundred years Contemporary style or the calm feel of a Seaside home, every bed room must start with the fundamentals. The choices are limitless with bedroom accessories, so start simple, and then make it your own.
Aside from the mattress, the bedframe may be the best piece of furniture in your bed room. Very first, decide on what bed dimension you want, and then measure your room to ensure it'll support the dimensions. Even though you think you could fit a Master bed inside your space, you have to remember to leave room for other bedroom accessories. For those who have a little room, a double- or full-size bed will leave you with space to move and won't help make your bedroom appear too little. You'll want to think about your personal decor taste and resting design. For example, if you're tall or prefer to extend when you sleep, a platform bed without a footboard suits your preferences while providing a modern look.
When selecting a desk, its important to consider the size of your house region or breakfast nook. Youll want to leave plenty of room on each side of the table, ideally in the plethora of one yard.
A furniture shape is also important. Have you got a big, open up house ? A little, spherical desk in the middle can nicely split up the area. If you want to separate a full time income area in the house , rectangular furniture make the perfect option.
While you might occasionally find household furniture items which need special, you'll find most household furniture requires the exact same type of vehicle. Do not use any more soap than what is required. An excessive amount of soap could make home furniture products really feel scratchy. You may consider using the amount you would usually use for laundry. Avoid using swimming pool water chlorine bleach as it will not only weaken particular materials but will also trigger diminishing.
Avoid using fabric softeners advert they not only also weaken the fabric, taking away a lot of its sturdiness but might also cause them to not soak up dampness as they should. Eliminate household furniture from the clothes dryer when they are dried out to prevent facial lines. If your large household furniture products do not comfortably fit into your dryer and washer, take them somewhere where one can use commercial dimension automatic washers and dryers.

Bleach is a standard tool in regular House Cleaning and sanitizing. Bleach is also used in laundry.
It would be best if you used bleach with care because it can irritate your skin. For safe use in House Cleaning, always refer to the washing machine and the bleach packaging. Note that bleach is used as a diluted solution in the washing machine, not in the dryer. A helpful guide from the experienced House Cleaning team in Round Rock is provided below:
Use Bleach as a Laundry Stain Remover
Undeniably, bleach is a common tool to remove stains for household items during House Cleaning and fabrics. It needs to be diluted with water to use bleach as a stain remover for laundry.
Step 1: Wear Protective Clothing
There is no special gear required when working with bleach. The House Cleaning team from Round Rock recommends wearing your unused clothes or putting on an apron.
Step 2: Mix Bleach and Water Solution
Pour 1/4 cup of regular liquid bleach into one gallon of water in a House Cleaning bucket or bin.
Step 3: Soak the Item
Plunge the item for 5 minutes, rinse, and air dry. Suppose the stains are oily; best to rub a small amount of laundry detergent on it first. You can leave it for 5 minutes, do your House Cleaning chores, and then soak it in the solution.
Step 4: Rinse and Dry the Item
You can wash and dry as usual if you have another bleach-safe laundry to wash with the item. If not, you can rinse the stained material thoroughly then allow it to dry by air.
How to Wash Laundry with Bleach
For House Cleaning, most household items and most washing machines can use bleach. Refer to your washing machine's user manual for best results. Follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Set the Washing Machine Temperature
Always check the laundry symbols on your items to know the allowable temperature. Look for the item with the lowest suggested temperature and set your machine to that temperature.
Step 2: Start the Washing Machine
Start the washing machine without adding the House Cleaning detergent, bleach, or laundry if you don't have a bleach dispenser. Dilute the detergent and bleach into the water in the machine.
Step 3: Add Laundry Detergent
Put the proper amount directly into the water if you don't have a detergent tray. If you have, you can put the detergent there. You can purchase detergent and washing machines at House Cleaning stores in Round Rock.
Step 4: Add Bleach
Add the proper amount of bleach according to directions. If you have a bleach dispenser, you can add the bleach accordingly. If not, add the bleach directly to the water 5 minutes after the first wash cycle.
Step 7: Put Laundry to the Washing Machine
Laundry items and complete the entire wash, rinse, and spin cycles.
Step 8: Dry Laundry
Once the washer is done, dry your items based on the instructions on the tags.

The latest issue of In These Times is a special, extra-length issue devoted entirely to the subject of socialism in America today. This special issue is available now. Order your copy today.
What is a good job? According Algernon Austin, an Economic Policy Institute economist and author of the brand-new report “Getting Good Jobs to America’s People of Color,” a good job provides an above-poverty wage, health insurance and adequate retirement income.
Consistent with proposed new U.S. poverty standards and international comparative standards, Austin sets the “good job” wage at 60 percent of the median household income — about $14.50 an hour, or $30,000 a year.
By Austin’s definition, only 27.6 percent of Americans had good jobs in 2008. In 1979, the share of good jobs was about 35 percent. Who lost good jobs during the 30 years in between, generally speaking? Latino men, followed by white men, according to Austin. The only group gaining was white women.
That decline in good jobs occurred over a time when productivity rose 76 percent. How can this be? Simple: the very rich captured most income growth, and inequality grew.
Yet even with the shifts, whites were more likely to have good jobs — 31.5 percent of whites, compared with 14.4 percent of Latinos and 21.8 percent of African-Americans. Adjusting for education, whites still had an advantage, but a bit less so between blacks and whites with college or higher education.
America’s creation of good jobs falls short, especially by international standards, because this country does not have universal health coverage and because Social Security does not match social pension programs in most rich countries. Looking at wages alone, only 56.1 percent of workers earned enough pay for a minimally “good job.”
Austin argues that public policy should aim to guarantee that 75 percent of jobs are good by raising and indexing the minimum wage to half the national average wage and increasing unionization, which would be especially helpful for workers of color.
But he also argues for policies that address the racial gaps, such as better enforcement of laws against discrimination, better training and education, and specific help for immigrants and ex-prisoners.
If there’s any problem with Austin work here, it’s that his definition of a “good job” is ultimately too narrow, leaving out the need for meaningful work that uses workers’ talents and enhances their skills, as well as the need for both more leisure time and more democratic control of the workplace.
But at a time when many people are worried about whether there are enough jobs, it’s important to raise our sights to good jobs for everyone. Not all jobs are created equal.
The Economic Policy Institute will host a panel event featuring Algernon Austin on Thursday, November 12, between 9 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. Full details are here.

The Franklin Special School District is proud to partner with STARS – Nashville to present Bullying Prevention: A Culture of Kindness on Thursday, October 20, at 6:00 p.m. at Freedom Middle School.

The drawn-out battle over the city’s divisive labor law overhaul brought attorneys for the municipality and the Anchorage Assembly to court Friday, to resolve a question over the mayor’s veto power.
The labor ordinance known as AO-37 passed the Anchorage Assembly in March, setting new rules for figuring out pay and seniority for city union employees, removing the union’s right to strike, and opening up some city services to private contractors.
A pro-union petition drive survived a court battle of its own to collect over 22,000 signatures and put the fate of the labor ordinance in front of voters. In October Mayor Dan Sullivan vetoed a 6-5 vote by the Anchorage Assembly that set an April date for that vote.
The question faced by Superior Court Judge Erin Marston on Friday was a question of what the mayor can and cannot veto, especially when that veto affects an election date set by the Anchorage Assembly.
The Anchorage Assembly is accusing Mayor Dan Sullivan of violating the city charter with his October veto.
Municipal Attorney Dennis Wheeler says the city charter gives the mayor broad veto powers which have been in place since the city and borough of Anchorage merged nearly 40 years ago.
“The last time this went to court was in 2001," said Wheeler. “That was the first chance for the court to weigh in on how you look at the mayor’s veto compared to other provisions in the charter. And that's the case where the court said the mayor's veto power is sweeping."
Anchorage Assembly attorney Timothy Petumenos disagreed, arguing that the mayor has no veto power over when and how the assembly sets election dates.
"The Assembly is the entity charged with administering elections," said Petumenos. "Elections are special, elections are important, and our system placed the responsibility for running elections in eleven people, not one."
Both sides are asking the judge for an expedited ruling in the case. The deadline to finalize the April ballot is January 28th.

Natural HGH supplements
Human growth hormone, also referred to as HGH, is one of the body's most important hormones.
Secreted from the pituitary gland, this vital hormone ensures that our body's grown and develop properly.
The prime time for human growth hormone production is during the adolescent years; as soon as you hit your twenties, the pituitary gland begins to shut down its production levels.
Natural HGH supplements are increasingly being used to restart the body's production of human growth hormone.
As we get older, we begin to notice the effects that low levels of human growth hormone are having on our bodies.
An increase in weight, slower metabolism and less energy are all primary factors of decreased human growth hormone levels.
Medical research has shown that by using natural HGH supplements, we encourage the pituitary gland into regenerating its hormone manufacture.
The higher levels of human growth hormone you have, the more likely you are to feel healthy and well.
Natural HGH supplements can be supplied in many varying forms.
From anti aging creams to daily oral supplements, there are a wide variety of methods to choose from.
Night time is the prime time for human growth hormone production.
Many of the oral supplements are best taken before you fall asleep.
An added supplement to your nightly routine is something that many people find easy to incorporate.
Many natural HGH supplements are simply a pill that dissolves under the tongue.
Many natural HGH supplements will help people combat the aging process.
With such an n image conscious society, more and more people are looking for a way to combat wrinkles and fatigue caused by aging.
Human growth hormone helps generate collagen levels under the skin.
It is this collagen that keeps the skin taught and full of elasticity.
Many of these supplements encourage natural collagen production therefore rejuvenating old and tired skin.
Unlike other human growth hormone stimulants, natural HGH supplements have little to no side effects.
Although not instantaneous, many people will feel and notice the benefits after a few weeks.
Incorporating a natural HGH supplement into your daily routine will help combat many different health issues that might occur later on in life.
If you have difficulty in sexual desire, a HGH supplement can encourage your libido to return.
If you notice that your hair is thinning and becoming lack lustre with age, natural HGH supplements can help produce hormone that encourages hair follicles to regenerate.
In fact, much of the age process can be halted by encouraging your body to generate more human growth hormones.

CNET's Jessica Dolcourt was one of the first journalists to test the rollout of Verizon's new mobile 5G network in Chicago. Find out the results of her 5G tests.
Verizon's new mobile 5G network launched earlier this month in Chicago and Minneapolis, with plans to be in 30 cities by the end of 2019. Jessica Dolcourt, Section Editor for CNET (a sister site of TechRepublic), headed to the Windy City to test out the new network on April 3, 2019. Using a Moto Z3 with the 5G Moto Mod, Dolcourt conducted speed tests in four locations throughout Chicago.
SEE: 5G mobile networks: An insider's guide (free PDF) (TechRepublic)
Starting with the Verizon store on Michigan Avenue, Dolcourt tested the 5G node, and the results were mixed. She experienced intermittent 5G connectivity, often resorting to switching in and out of Airplane Mode to get the network to connect.
Unable to get a clean comparison test in the store, Dolcourt moved onto round two of testing at the Merchandise Mart, which is also the headquarters for Motorola. Across the street just outside of the Shamrock Club is another 5G node. While the speed tests were better, Dolcourt found that downloading the large PUBG app took six minutes, indicating that the phone was not receiving 5G speeds--the download time was the same as that of the 4G network.
For the third round of testing, Dolcourt utilized the 5G node right outside of the Chicago Art Institute. Standing directly underneath the node, she described the 5G service as "flickering," and even though she received 5G-level speeds during the speed test, the network completely stalled when she tried to download an episode from the Netflix app. Removing the 5G mod, Dolcourt tested the 4G network to see if it fared better but experienced the same issue.
The final test took place a couple blocks away from the famous Chicago Theater. Dolcourt conducted her tests in the same manner, but was unable to connect to the 5G network at all, despite standing directly beneath the node. She made several attempts to connect: Toggling in and out of Airplane Mode four times, removing and reattaching the 5G mod, only to discover that the mod had 0% power, meaning there was no way for her to connect. In this case, the node might not have been the issue, and there is no way to know how it would have performed during testing.
Here's what she said about how the testing went: "Not very well, actually. It was more like a wild goose chase. But remember: This network is only one-day old, so I wasn't expecting this to be amazing speeds with absolutely no problems whatsoever. But it was basically a complete and utter disaster, unfortunately." Dolcourt predicted that even a year from now, 5G phones will not be the norm, as not all cities or areas of cities will have coverage.
But 4G will still be available and will be built out more alongside 5G development, meaning that 4G should be faster in the future. As Dolcourt observed, even though she did not always receive 5G speeds, 4G speeds were faster than usual during testing. Dolcourt also commented on the design of the Motorola phone and 5G mod, explaining that the typical user will likely not want to use an add-on. It's anticipated that phone makers are working on this issue, and Qualcomm is developing a new chip for the technology.
She stated that thinner, better functioning phones will be available closer to the 2019 holiday season. She also suggested that users will likely want to wait until the technology is tested more; for example, instead of buying a first- or second-wave 5G device, wait one to two years to receive a "more satisfying 5G experience." However, early adopters may have some advantages like faster overall speeds and downloading speeds. Eventually, other network options--like 4G--will fall by the wayside, and 5G will be the only option available.

BUSINESSDESK: Briscoe Group, the homeware and sporting goods retailer, will pay a special dividend of 10 cents a share, generating a windfall of about $16.7 million for managing director and controlling shareholder Rod Duke.
The dividend will be paid on June 28 to investors on the register at the close of trading on June 14, the company said.
Interests associated with Mr Duke own 78% of the retailer, which has about 214m shares on issue.
Shares of Briscoe rose 2.6% to $1.60 after the announcement.
The stock has gained 14% this year, outpacing a 9.4% in an NZX index of consumer stocks.
Last week the company reported a 6.5% gain in first-quarter sales while warning that full-year revenue may be flat because last year’s result was inflated by Rugby World Cup turnover in the second half.
Sales at the retailer, whose brands include the Briscoe, Rebel Sport and Living and Giving, rose to $102.5m in the three months ended April 29, from $96.3m a year earlier.
Homeware revenue rose 5.7% to $66.1m and sporting goods sales climbed 7.8% to $36.4m.

CMS Releases ASC Quality Reporting Manual
ASC Association release.
Of note, the manual indicates that ASCs that used a safe surgery checklist based on accepted standards of practice at any time during 2012 can answer "yes" when they report whether they used a safe surgery checklist during the year. Previously, CMS had indicated that ASCs would be able to answer "yes" only if they had implemented a safe surgery checklist by Jan. 1, 2012. This change would allow more ASCs to report the use of a checklist in 2012.
The ASC Association continues to work with CMS as implementation of ASC quality reporting continues.

Turkish Minister: Anatolia only feasible gas route for Israel, Greek Cyprus
ANKARA - Hürriyet Daily News
A recently opened Israeli gas platform is seen about 15 kilometers west of the port city of Ashdod. The country started pumping gas on March 30. REUTERS photoTurkey is not indifferent toward Israel’s energy projects for transferring the Eastern Mediterranean natural gas and oil to the international markets, since the resources would be not be feasible unless they were transferred through Turkey, Turkish Energy Minister Taner Yıldız said.
“It is the same for Greek Cyprus,” Yıldız told reporters yesterday. “It will have no benefit to your people if you say ‘I will do it even if it is expensive.’ I’m telling this both for Israel and Greek Cyprus,” he said, adding that the projects would be meaningful only if the right move is made.
But, discussing energy deals before the restoration of ties between Turkey and Israel has been finalized would be impossible, according to the minister.
“As relations normalize in the future, then we can discuss if natural gas could be transferred by a pipeline through Turkey,” the minister said.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered an apology to his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on March 22, over the Israeli raid on Gaza-bound flotilla the “Mavi Marmara” in 2010, which killed nine Turks.
The reason why Israel apologized to Turkey was “not the energy projects,” but those projects could form part of the outcome, the minister said.
Ankara would follow suit if Israel were to fulfill its commitments to restore ties with Turkey, Yıldız added.
In 2009, Israel discovered some of the largest offshore reserves of natural gas. A burst of exploration followed and, by the end of 2013, 18 new wells are expected to be drilled at a cost of $1.8 billion.
Nuke plant process
On the other hand, Yıldız said the process for a second nuclear power plant in Turkey had been extended due to competition between bidding companies as Turkey sought further advantages. “We are very close to the final decision,” he said.Talks are continuing with four firms, from South Korea, Japan and China, who are bidding for the construction of a second nuclear plant in Turkey. In March, GDF Suez, a French electric utility company, with Japanese Mitsubishi Corp and Itochu Corp, submitted a joint bid to build the plant.
Turkey is already working on a separate plan to carry Caspian natural gas to the western province of İzmir, a project that might turn the energy-hungry country into a gas distribution hub. The $7 billion Trans Anatolia Pipeline (TANAP) is a joint project with Azerbaijan’s state-run Socar as two consortia, Nabucco West and Trans-Adriatic pipeline (TAP) competing to distribute the gas from the Shah Deniz II gas field to half a billion potential consumers in Europe.

This interview with Dr. Sara Gottfried appeared on the London women’s website Sheerluxe on March 15, 2017. Here is an excerpt.
Renowned hormone expert Dr. Sara Gottfried knows a thing or two about aging well – the Harvard-graduate has 20 years of experience as a gynecologist, and several years ago took her health into her own hands after her hormones went haywire. Frustrated that anti-depressants and contraception were the only treatments at the time, Dr. Gottfried bio-hacked her own health and delved deeper into the topic of hormones.
Fast-forward four years and her third book, Younger, a program to reset genes and reverse aging, is already a bestseller. We caught up with her to talk hormones, genes and the best ways to promote anti-aging…
Firstly, how much of aging is down to genes?
Believe it or not, only 10% of aging is caused by genes, while 90% is caused by environmental factors, including lifestyle choices. I call this the 90/10 rule: genetics load the gun, and the environment pulls the trigger. This gives you an incredible opportunity to change the course of disease and aging in your body. The goal is to upgrade that 90% to affect the 10% and thus age better.
What about hormones – is there anything you can do to protect these as you age?
Regarding hormones and the aging process, the most important hormone to be aware of is insulin. Unfortunately, you get more insulin resistant as you age, leading to a significant increase in blood sugar by the time we reach fifty – this can manifest itself in increased carb cravings and a foggy brain. A simple way to control blood sugar is to drink a glass of water with two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before meals. Another way to reset insulin levels is to fast intermittently for 14-18 hours; try to eat your dinner early, say by 6 PM, and then eat your next meal around noon the following day. Do this twice per week for weight loss and once per week to boost your longevity genes.
While myriad other hormones come into play when it comes to aging, just remember the right food, sleep and exercise can reverse many hormonal problems.
So, what should you be eating?
First and foremost, remove processed foods, refined carbohydrates, sugars and sugar substitutes from your diet. Avoid anything that could lead to inflammation, (i.e. food intolerances, so avoid gluten and dairy) or heavy metals, such as tuna. Make an effort to increase your intake of healthy oils, such as coconut oil; clean proteins, like grass-fed beef and venison; wild-caught, cold-water fish, like halibut and salmon; slow-release carbs, like sweet potatoes and quinoa (although avoid these if you have weight to lose); and try to consume 900 grams of vegetables daily. Ensure you’re eating a variety of colors and aim for a plate that is 80% vegetables – think of animal-based food as a condiment.
Increasing research also shows carotenoids – the orange-red pigments found in carrots, butternut squash and yellow peppers – can significantly boost skin tone, so try to incorporate these on a regular basis.
Any top tips to prevent skin aging?
It’s widely known that as we age, we lose collagen. It might sound bizarre, but I recommend drinking a collagen latte daily – it’s easy to digest and drinkable collagen has been shown to be far more effective than oral supplements. Simply mix one to two tablespoons of collagen powder into your coffee; add a tablespoon of coconut oil and up to six drops of stevia for extra richness.

I’ve eaten at all of the top rated Trip Advisor restaurants in Boston and this is the best. My wife, daughter and I dinned at Sorellina’s on a recent Saturday night. The food, service and atmosphere were all excellent.
Our appetizers were excellent; the oysters were local and very fresh, the carpaccio was imported and very good and the burrata and prosciutto was simply outstanding.
Our main courses were excellent; my veal saltimbocca consistent of a couple of thick yet tender veal medallions on a bed of perfect mashed potatoes, my wife’s filet mignon with mushrooms was a perfect medium rare, tender and moist, a beautiful piece of meat and my daughter’s special order arugula salad with a side of sautéed mushrooms was perfect. Note 2014 has been the best year for arugula ever!
Our dinks were excellent; the house champagne was excellent (we toasted my daughter’s recent graduation from college), the waiter selected very nice parings for our various courses, and the after diner aperitifs were first rate. The coffee served with desert was very very good.
And, dessert was excellent; the warm molten chocolate cake with vanilla gelato was simply a perfect end to an outstanding meal.
While valet parking is a barging at $16, it can get backed up. So I suggest you give them your valet ticket and stroll around Copley Square while they bring the car around. It’s the perfect end to a magnificent meal. This is the best restaurant in Boston.

New York, Feb. 23, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Global Emphysema Treatment Market Size, Share & Industry Trends Analysis Report By Medication Type, By Distribution Channel, By Regional Outlook and Forecast, 2022 - 2028" - www.reportlinker.com/p06422397/?utm_source=GNW
This leads to a reduction in the amount of gas that is exchanged in the lungs, which in turn causes trouble breathing. This occurs because the damage to the alveoli results in inadequate room for air to enter the sacs, which causes air to get trapped within the alveoli.
By treating the patient with bronchodilators and steroids, it is possible to alleviate the patient’s shortness of breath and cut down on the required hospitalizations. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (also known as COPD) is the third most significant cause of mortality globally, accounting for 3.23 million deaths in 2019. This information comes from the World Health Organization. Countries with low and intermediate incomes are responsible for about 90 percent of all COPD-related fatalities in people under the age of 70. (LMIC). COPD is caused by long-term exposure to toxic gases and particles with individual variables such as events that impact the formation of the lungs in infancy and heredity. Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) results in ongoing and progressively worsening respiratory symptoms, such as difficulty breathing, coughing, and producing phlegm.
Other symptoms may include but are not limited to anxiety, sadness, weariness, difficulty sleeping, and weight loss. Emphysema is often misdiagnosed since the symptoms it displays are also associated with a variety of other lung illnesses and other health issues. The difficulty breathing brought on by emphysema may worsen over time and lead to a condition known as a chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
The global healthcare industry has seen a disruption in processes due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The sickness has caused several different sectors, including numerous different sub-domains of the healthcare industry, to close their doors temporarily. On the other hand, the COVID-19 pandemic had a beneficial influence on the development of the market. Patients infected with the coronavirus basically suffer from the same symptoms as those with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These symptoms include difficulty breathing and an inadequate supply of oxygen-rich blood to the lungs and the rest of the body. As a result, the demand for drugs used to cure chronic obstructive pulmonary disease accelerated during the pandemic.
Market Growth Factors
Rising Number Of Tobacco Consumers
Tobacco consumption is one of the most significant challenges to the world’s public health that it has ever encountered, and it is responsible for the deaths of many individuals. According to projections made by the World Health Organization, tobacco use results in more than 8 million deaths each year. More than 7 million of these fatalities are directly attributable to the use of tobacco products, while around 1.2 million are attributable to the exposure of non-smokers to second-hand smoke. The habit of smoking cigarettes almost often brings on emphysema. In addition, there is evidence that chronic exposure to other lung irritants, such as passive smoking, may also contribute to the development of COPD. As a result of the growing number of people who smoke tobacco throughout the globe, it is projected that the need for emphysema treatment will also rise in the years to come.
Increasing Levels Of Air Pollution
The most prevalent contributors to air pollution are combustion appliances found in homes, motor vehicles, industrial sites, and forest fires. In addition, particulate matter, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, and sulphur dioxide are significant pollutants that concern the public’s health. Air pollution, both outside and inside, is a significant contributor to various illnesses and is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. In addition, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that approximately 2.4 billion people are subjected to potentially harmful levels of air pollution in their homes as a result of their use of polluting open fires or simple stoves for cooking that are fueled by kerosene, biomass (wood, animal dung, and crop waste), and coal. These types of cooking methods produce dangerous levels of air pollution.
Market Restraining Factors
Expenses Incurred For Imaging Equipment
It is possible to support a diagnosis of advanced emphysema with an X-ray of the chest and rule out other potential reasons for shortness of breath. However, because of the prohibitively high prices and limited financial resources, many hospitals in underdeveloped countries cannot invest in diagnostic imaging equipment. Furthermore, because of the strong demand for diagnostic procedures, particularly in low-income countries, hospitals who do not have the financial resources to purchase brand-new imaging systems that are on the bleeding edge of technology decide instead to employ imaging systems that have been rebuilt. As a result, throughout the time that is anticipated, this aspect will constitute a substantial obstacle to the expansion of the market for infectious respiratory illness diagnostics.
Medication Type Outlook
Based on Medication Type, the Emphysema Treatment Market is segmented into Bronchodilators, steroids, and others. In the emphysema treatment market in 2021, the bronchodilators segment accounted for the largest revenue share. Bronchodilators are a class of drugs that relax the muscles in the lungs, which makes breathing easier, and widens the airways, which also makes breathing easier (bronchi). The expansion of this market segment may be attributed to an increase in the demand for bronchodilators as a therapy for emphysema and increased knowledge about the condition.
Distribution Channel Outlook
Based on the distribution channel, the Emphysema Treatment Market is classified into online providers, drug stores & retail pharmacies, and hospital pharmacies. The online providers segment registered a considerable revenue share in the emphysema treatment market in 2021. This may be linked to the fact that there has been an increase in demand for online providers that provide pharmaceuticals for the treatment of emphysema. This eliminates the need for patients to go to hospitals for treatment, contributing to the market expansion. In addition, a growing number of online platforms for medicine delivery is also driving the market. This is another factor that is driving the industry.
Based on region, the Emphysema Treatment Market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, and LAMEA. In 2021, the Asia Pacific region accounted for a significant revenue share in the emphysema treatment market. This is because of several variables, including an increase in spending in producing high-quality medications for emphysema. The increasing use of different triple combination formulations for the treatment of emphysema is also driving the expansion of the market. In addition, due to an increase in the number of people who smoke, India has the highest chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) rate. These factors combine to make Asia-Pacific an attractive need for emphysema treatment.
The market research report covers the analysis of key stake holders of the market. Key companies profiled in the report include AstraZeneca PLC, Teva Pharmaceuticals Industries Ltd., Novartis AG, Viatris, Inc., Orion Corporation, GlaxoSmithKline PLC, Pfizer, Inc., Hikma Pharmaceuticals PLC, Boehringer Ingelheim International GmbH and Verona Pharma Plc.

Researchers at the Burnham Institute for Medical Research (Burnham) may have found a new option for targeted breast cancer therapy by showing the link between a certain protein and the formation and development of blood vessels that feed breast tumors. Like mortar between bricks in a wall, T-cadherin is a protein that helps cells stick together and collectively form tissues. Cancer cells that loosen their adhesive tissue bonds stop producing T-cadherin, and in tumors, only the blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients express this protein. Now, Barbara Ranscht, Ph.D., and Robert Oshima, Ph.D., at Burnham have led a team that developed the first living model to study this proteins effect on tumor angiogenesis by creating a strain of mice that develops spontaneous mammary gland tumors in the absence of T-cadherin. Their results appeared March 1 in Cancer Research.
Evidence of T-cadherins role in vascularization has been somewhat controversial, explains Dr. Ranscht, senior author of the study, which includes Drs. Lionel Hebbard and Michle Garlatti from the Burnham Institute as equally contributing first authors and Drs. Robert Cardiff and Lawrence Young as collaborators from the University of California, Davis. But our knockout model clearly shows that T-cadherin plays a role in promoting tumor vascularization, with implications for tumor growth and animal survival.
The tumor model developed in Dr. Ranschts laboratory shows that loss of T-cadherin slows down tumor growth and improves survival compared to controls where T-cadherin is present: The absence of T-cadherin delays tumor growth by an average of 10 days, decreases tumor size, and apoptosis markers, indicators of cell suicide, are six times higher. The tumor-bearing knockouts live an average of 18.5 days longer than their wild-type counterparts, which translates into approximately 18 months of human life span.
The normal models in the study developed solid adenocarcino
