Online shopping and instant deliveries have become an essential part of modern life. The on-demand economy has added more convenience than ever to our lives, allowing us to buy things from groceries to furniture with the swipe of a screen and have them delivered to our doorstep in days, if not hours.
The pandemic dramatically increased consumers’ dependence on online deliveries, and this behavioral shift shows no sign of letting up. Global e-commerce generated $4 trillion in 2020 and is expected to grow an additional 75% by 2025.
FedEx estimates that this year the U.S. market could reach 100 million packages each day. Demand for same-day and instant deliveries continues to surge, growing at rates of 36% and 17% per year, respectively.
While supply chain disruption, workforce shortages and late deliveries grab most of the headlines today, most people don’t realize that this exponential growth in e-commerce deliveries also comes with significant social and environmental costs. In particular, e-commerce is driving growing carbon emissions and worsening traffic congestion in urban areas. The World Economic Forum (WEF) estimates that emissions from urban last-mile delivery will increase by over 30% by 2030—reaching 25 million tons of CO2 emitted annually if there’s no change. The consequences of continued emissions growth are hard to understate and have already begun manifesting themselves in a series of “once-in-a-lifetime” weather-related disasters, from wildfires to flooding. The same study estimates that deliveries alone will add an additional 11 minutes on average to people’s daily commutes in the same period.
There is an urgent need for action, and the private sector is stepping up. Major delivery companies have put in place aggressive sustainability goals and are actively seeking ways to reduce their carbon footprint and impact on congestion. For example, e-commerce giants like Walmart, as well as delivery titans like FedEx, are targeting carbon-neutral operations by 2040.
Meeting these ambitious goals will require innovation across every part of the supply chain. How will they get there? Tackling carbon emissions from the transport of goods is an obvious priority, and there’s some good progress being made on that front. A recent report from the Department of Energy (DOE) projects that by 2030, many long-haul trucks will be “cheaper to buy, operate, and maintain as zero-emissions vehicles than traditional diesel-powered combustion engine vehicles.”
Electric vehicles for last-mile delivery are another big part of the answer and are on a similar trajectory toward zero emissions at a lower total cost of ownership. On average, fleet customers can save more than $7,000 per vehicle per year when moving from a traditional diesel step van to an electric vehicle, driven by dramatically lower fuel costs, as well as reduced maintenance, based on our estimates. These economic benefits mean fleets are ready to move now and are looking to move fast. The world is just beginning to understand the potential of electric light commercial vehicles (eLCV).
Advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence, connectivity and other innovations also offer critical ways to reduce the carbon footprint of e-commerce delivery without forfeiting convenience. With technologies available today, fleets can maximize productivity and efficiency by mapping seamless routes and designing delivery solutions with city streets in mind to avoid clogging our roadways and further polluting our planet. A new generation of solutions is emerging—from electrically propelled carts and sidewalk delivery robots to drones—that can ease urban congestion and reduce the physical strain on delivery workers.
Electrifying last-mile delivery will begin to have an impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and congestion in major, vehicle-dense cities like Los Angeles, which often ranks among the most congested urban areas in the U.S. The moment is now. We have an opportunity to redefine e-commerce for the better—delivering convenience at our fingertips while delivering a more livable planet for us all.
An all-electric future is a tall order, but it is achievable—that is, if we urge each other on as individuals and as businesses and focus on progress, not perfection. Some of the smartest people I know have shifted their career focus to companies where they can apply their talents to making a difference. In the race to net-zero, we all stand to win—and we can’t afford to lose. Follow along as I continue to address these topics and more in subsequent articles.

I began singing solos in church when I was 6 years old. I picked up the guitar when I was 10. At Montevallo, my primary instrument was voice and piano was my secondary instrument. I've been teaching professionally since 1981 -- 35 years as of this writing. My students have gone on to be professionals themseleves, but many of them just enriched their lives with music. As a performer, I've sung and played guitar in churches, clubs, local television and at weddings, funerals and I've perfomed in musicals alongside Broadway star Rebecca Luker in college. I've also been a church choir director for 35 years. I've taught in many settings. My current studio is in my home in Clay. I also maintain a studio at Five Mile Presbyterian Church in Roebuck. I also teach in students' homes.
I have played and taught music professionally for over 20 years. I have played a remarkably diverse range of gigs ranging from symphony orchestras to jazz to top 40 to folk music. My focus as a musician is the American popular song from its origin at the turn of the 20th century to the most contemporary pop hit. I have arranged many popular songs for various groups and have a strong passion for music notation.
Recent transplant to Birmingham – glad to be back in the south. Twenty years of playing experience, and 10+ years of teaching experience. Looking forward to working with you! I've played in churches for the better part of twenty years. I've also played in restaurants for several years, and at weddings and other special events. I can teach lessons in your home or at the Avon Theater (in Lakeview, near St. Vincent's).
I'm a passionate and motivated instructor who loves working with students and sharing my enthusiasm about music. I am thankful for every opportunity to teach students about the pure joy of playing music. I believe that playing music is something that everyone can enjoy and benefit from participating in.
I am a motivated performer and instructor that is passionate about showing musical knowledge with others. I have both a bachelors and a masters in music. I have performed with many bands throughout the world including KC and the Sunshine Band, Joe Sample, Rufus Reid, Arturo Sandavol, Jimmy Buffet, and more. I have over 15 years experience teaching all levels including colleges and high schools.

The standard beginner bass is usually four-strings and will serve you well in your lessons. There are many reliable brands to look at as you start to shop for instruments. These include Gibson, Ibanez, and Fender. If you need assistance, a bass teacher in our network will also be able to guide you in your selection. Students with a special interest in heavy rock or metal music may want to look at a five-string bass, which will give you access to lower tones.
Bass is a great instrument for older children to begin with. Due to the size of the instrument, and the weight of the heavier strings, younger children will not be able to work with the bass comfortably. If students are interested in playing with groups such as a school jazz band, the bass is a great option.
All of our Musika teachers are highly qulified and able to teach everything the student will need to be successful with their instrument. While no specific teaching method is used by each teacher, if a student has a particular teaching style they are interested in, we will work with you to find a teacher who uses that method. All students will work on reading music, playing with correct technique, and becoming a better musician overall.
Musika offers customized one-on-one music lessons in your home - a smart and simple solution for busy parents and students. The convenience of in-home lessons allows you to save time without having to transport your child (and their heavy bass guitar) to class, allows your child to maximize their busy schedule, and provides a safe and familiar environment in which to learn.
The bass is a really fun instrument for adults who have no prior experience with music. Students of any age can learn to listen for the bass lines in their favorite songs and learn how to play along.
Review by Brad Schimmer
I have been playing the drums for about 5 years and I have to say that Alvaro is very patient. He has opened me up to new styles of music and I can now play a Songo groove! What I liked most was that he was flexible in what I wanted him to teach me and would also bring in new material specifically to what I wanted him to show me. Overall, great patient teacher and would highly recommend! Thanks Alvaro!
Review by Clinton Poskozim
Martina has been a great teacher. Our son is 8 and had taken some piano lessons before starting with Martina. She came right in and got him to improve. She does a great job of giving him just enough of a challenge to make him work and learn but not any pieces that are so overwhelming he can't get them. She has helped him through a lot of early music theory so that he not only can play the piano but understands the music he is reading in all of its complexity.
Review by Maurice Romero
This is the 1st time I've ever taken lessons, and Robert has been a pleasure to work with. I've made quick progress and have enjoyed the process. I'm always listening for those tips that you can't find in a book. I can count on Robert to be strict on the fundamentals and am clear it will make a difference in the long run.
Review by Mythili Lahiri
My son is truly enjoying his lessons with Chris. He looks forward to them and is motivated to practice. Chris is conscientious and shows up on time and whenever he is supposed to. He communicates clearly if rescheduling is ever required and is accommodating when we need to change the day. I would recommend Chris to anyone.
Review by Ruslan
She is the most amazing teacher ever. She is not only w great teacher but she's so fun to work with. She has taught me so many things in such little amount of time things I didn't even know I could do. I recommend Andrea to everyone. She is an amazing singer and cares a lot about her students. She's the best!!
Review by Sarah M
Dan gave private clarinet lessons to my daughter, Annie, for two years. During that time, she excelled as a member of the middle school band, and maintained first-chair. Dan is an excellent teacher, and Annie looked forward to having one-on-one time with him. In addition to practicing pieces with her, he helped her with scales and greatly improved her tone quality.
Review by Ryan Piveteau
Amber is personal and cares about her students. She is flexible in her schedule and maintains a professional attitude in her lessons. Her want for her students to succeed makes her excel as a teacher. She is very knowledgeable about music and extremely experienced. Additionally, she includes external activities aside from lessons for the students who wish to advance themselves externally. Really a great teacher who offers great opportunity.
Review by Ro J.
“My son has been instructed by Mark for almost four years. Mark is an outstanding teacher. His credentials are by themselves impressive, but his ability to relate his knowledge to kids is even more so. Connor's ability to understand and read music is fantastic. Mark also knows the performance side of playing drums and has encouraged Connor to actually incorporate his knowledge to play alone and in a band. He is patient and encouraging which is what motivates Connor to work and practice. He is a mentor as well as a teacher. He is superior at what he does and we highly recommend him.” Ro J.
Review by Stevengournay
There are only a handful of people I count in my life who were great teachers, and Laura is one of them. Her musicianship is so secure as are her technique and personality that she zeros in on my weaknesses and devises exercises to strengthen them, and during the lesson it is not "Do this, no, do that" which is unnerving to a novice. She understands the most important part of study is relaxation, so that is easy to achieve with such a confident and compassionate human. Music is her life and she is eager to share her talent with everyone. A rare find, indeed!

I have been nominated for the Liebster Award when I was least expecting it as I was busy AF on work from the past few months!! It surely is a reminder why I did start blogging in the first place and why shouldn’t I neglect it. I have been super occupied with work lately and with more work, in the pipeline, I see no relief for next six months or so. From now on, I’ll try to keep my blog active as far as I can positively.
So, let me not bore you all with my work pressure and deadlines as an IT professional. This is my first award since I started to blog in Mar’16 and I’ so grateful to Chloe and super happy that I’m out of words…like literally 😀
This is an award given to bloggers to portray love and appreciation for their work. So there are basic rules when you receive this award and you should follow the routine as well. The rules –
1) Answer the questions the blogger has asked.
2) Create a new list of questions for the bloggers you’ve tagged.
3) Thank the person that tagged you!
4) Nominate at least 5 blogs to receive the award.
5) Tell them you nominated them.
I’ll start with the questions Chloe put up for me –
- What would you do if you had all the money in the world – I would get myself a decent DSLR and then travel the world. Also, it makes me sad while looking at the issues still prevalent in this beautiful world so I will try to contribute towards the society simultaneously.
- Favourite language and why – Hindi – my native language which I learned it while growing up. Despite being a tough language & considering my low scores in school on the subject, I still feel proud using my mother language. I feel we should always stay connected to roots which ultimately help us to stay grounded.
- What is your favorite thing about yourself – I am a right combination of introvert and extrovert which allows me to talk to people slightly easily and also maintain distance when I get negative vibes.
- Do you like winter or summer better – Hands-down Winters. I already live in a super hot and humid place ~ India and generally avoid even stepping out of the home from June-September with an exception for office. In these months, I usually shun my urge to explore Delhi for photography and that’s why these are my least motivated months 😀
- If you could eat one thing for the rest of your life what would it be – Gosh, this is tough considering my moody nature. Can I choose an item which may give me variety – Eggs 😀
- Lush or Bath & Body Works? Hmm…I think I am little embarrassed here as I have never used Lush ~ remember I live in India and usually products come here late 🙁 Thankfully, I have used Bath & Body Works which I found awesome.
- Favourite city of all time – Apart from the city I live in and love to the core – Delhi I would consider The City of Lights – Paris – my first international solo travel as my most favorite city.
- If you could have one day to do anything with your best friend, what would you do – I would probably go for a drive around the city roam around our favorite spots. have an amazing meal and do anything crazy which comes to our mind..does the last one count??
- Watching a movie at a cinema, or on Netflix – Again embarrassed, I don’t use Netflix, I have used Hotstar which is a mini version of the former and features Indian and American Telly series. I prefer cinema to latest movies but these watching a movie was starting to cost a lot so I have become choosy in the movies I watch at movie theater rest at home.
- If you could only take 3 items from your burning house (and all your family/pets/etc are safe) what would you take – My book collection, my phone/laptop for my photographs collection and lastly my best clothes, shoes and my handbag for emergency cash.
- Favourite book/book series you’ve read and why – Last year in December I read The Goldfinch by Donna Tart and I loved it still with its memory still fresh in my mind and if given a chance I might re-read it as well. How the story revolved around Theo, a teenager whose life turned upside down due to a terrorist attack and how he holds on to one last memory with his mother left me speechless and in shock.
My questions for you –
- Do you like to read? If yes, what sort of books and any favorite?
- All-time favorite food?
- What do like to do when you’re upset or in bad mood?
- Do you consider “selfies” as part of self-portraits?
- Which one would be your favorite travel spots- beach, mountains or cities?
- Have you tried Indian food, if yes then what are your thoughts about it?
- What is your passion which you would like to pursue as your career?
- Favourite outfit for any mood?
- What do you like more- Starbucks or Costa Coffee?
- What do you prefer – Gym or outdoor running?
- If you had to give up on thing about you what would like to pass?
So, now the people I would like to nominate –
- nancy merrill photography
– The Wanderer

Chennai: Puravankara Projects breaks environmental laws, fined Rs 5.5 crore
Puravankara Projects Limited in 2008 had obtained environmental clearance for the construction of a residential apartment complex named Provident Cosmo City at Pudupakkam in Chengalpet with 1,184 units.
Puravankara Projects Limited in 2008 had obtained environmental clearance for the construction of a residential apartment complex named Provident Cosmo City at Pudupakkam in Chengalpet with 1,184 units. The next year, Puravankara decided to expand the complex by constructing 990 more residential units.
Though it applied for environmental clearance, it was not granted by the government. But the builder went ahead with the construction and increased the total residential units count to 2,174, according to an application filed before the tribunal by the apartment residents in 2021.
The firm had also complained about certain deficiencies in the sewage treatment plants (STPs) and diesel generator (DG) sets, and this caused foul odour and heavy noise.
A joint-committee constituted by the tribunal to study this issue noted a few deficiencies in the manner an STP was operated and the ambient noise level was between 59.6 decibels (dB) to 65.8 dB as against the standard of 55 dB.
Also, they found out that no permission (consent to establish/operate) was obtained by Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board (TNPCB). Based on these findings, the board directed the project proponent to pay Rs 1.2 crore as compensation for damaging the environment.
The builder in response argued that the inspection was done by the joint-committee nearly three years after the maintenance was handed over to the occupants of the apartment complex − Cosmo City Residents Welfare Association (CCRWA) − and only they have to pay the compensation.
After hearing both sides, the tribunal on May 23 found the project proponent had violated environmental laws and they were liable to pay a compensation of Rs 5.5 crore within two months and rectify deficiencies pointed out by the committee. Once the defects are rectified, CCRWA has been told to carry out the maintenance of STP and DG sets.

Presenter Michael Mosley finds out how the early days of surgery were dark and barbaric, when the surgeon’s knife was more likely to kill you than save you, and invasive medicine generally meant being bloodlet by leeches to within an inch of your life.
Just over 100 years ago, cutting into the brain was a terrifying prospect for both patient and surgeon. They could expect the result to be the surgeon bloodied and defeated, and the patient dead. From freak accidents involving crowbars through the skull to notorious lobotomies with icepicks, this programme reveals how, through mishap and misadventure, brain surgery has become the life-saving discipline it is today.
2009 • Astronomy
With a family history of heart problems, presenter Michael Mosley takes a personal interest in these pioneers, who teetered on the scalpel-edge between saviour and executioner. Michael has a go at heart surgery, meets a man with no heartbeat and witnesses an operation where the patient is cooled until their brain stops and has all of their blood sucked out.
2009 • Health
These days, transplant surgery saves thousands of lives every year and almost everything, from heart to eyes, can be replaced. But in the beginning, transplants killed rather than cured, because surgeons didn’t understand that they were taking on one of the most efficient killing systems we know of – the human immune system.
2009 • Health
Thought of as a modern phenomenon, it actually started over 400 years ago with a spate of botched nose jobs. Since then, surgeons have been entranced with the idea that not only could they fix the body, but could even fix our sense of self-esteem. Presenter Michael Mosley undergoes both 16th-century bondage and 21st-century botox in his journey of discovery.
2009 • Health
The opioid epidemic has devastated America. But what is the situation here? A new report from Public Health England raises serious concerns about Britain's own relationship with painkillers. Dr Michael Mosley embarks on an immersive journey to Britain’s opioid frontline and meets patients struggling with addiction and GPs fighting a constant battle to help those suffering from chronic pain. He also uncovers worrying evidence of people abusing over-the-counter opioids and discovers how easy it is to buy strong opioids online.
Whether they make you fat, fart, or freak out, microbes play a central role in your life. Right beneath your nose—on your face, in your gut, and everywhere in between—trillions of bacteria, viruses, and fungi are so abundant in your body, they outnumber your human cells. But these aren’t just nasty hitch-hikers. Many are crucial to your survival. Evidence suggests that a diverse microbiome can keep you healthy and, conversely, a damaged one could kill you. NOVA Wonders peers into this microscopic world to discover the fascinating, bizarre, and downright surprising secrets of the human microbiome, including the world’s largest stool bank, which transforms raw stool into life-saving poop pills.
In just over 100 days, a new coronavirus has taken an unprepared world by storm, infiltrating every corner of the globe, sending entire nations into lockdown, killing thousands and infecting countless more. Across the world, governments are scrambling to react, hospitals are struggling to cope and an increasingly anxious public are starting to panic. The world's media is awash with data, information and misinformation. But what are the facts? What is COVID-19 and why is this strain of coronavirus so dangerous? What happens in our bodies when the virus attacks? How does this compare to previous pandemics? What do all the the numbers really mean, and how can data modelling help us look for an exit strategy? This programme investigates the scientific facts and figures behind the biggest public health crisis in living memory, and explores the latest research from the frontline of the medical and scientific fightback.
The series offers a fresh look at the science behind teeth and dentistry, and what we can all do to improve our oral health. The programmes feature patients undergoing treatment for missing or broken teeth, decay, gum disease, and a range of other problems – sometimes to the extreme. The series also features a strong public health message, with experiments on and information about everything from correct tooth brushing to the effectiveness (or otherwise) of over-the-counter tooth whitening kits.

The Essential Guide to Boat Fuel Gauge Wiring Diagrams
Boats are complex machines requiring many accessories and technical parts that operate at the same time. Knowing how all these components work together is essential for a safe and successful boat trip. Among the most important items that form part of your craft's power system is the fuel gauge wiring diagram. It connects the various gauges and instruments in your boat to give you real-time information about how much fuel you have and whether something has gone wrong. Let’s dive deeper and explore what these diagrams mean and why they’re so important.
All About Boat Fuel Gauge Wiring Diagrams
A boat fuel gauge wiring diagram refers to visual drawings or charts that illustrate the electrical system of a boat. In other words, it shows how the boat's systems and instruments are connected. It also shows where each connection is located and its purpose. A fuel gauge wiring diagram may be found in a manufacturer's how-to guide or similar book, or it can be downloaded from the internet.
Generally, these diagrams consist of several basic elements. First of all, there’s the wire harness, which connects different components such as the ignition switch, charging system, fuel pump, etc. Next, there's the fuel sender, which sends information to the gauge about the amount of fuel remaining. Finally, there’s the actual gauge itself, which displays information about the fuel.
Reading a Boat Fuel Gauge Wiring Diagram
Reading a boat fuel gauge wiring diagram may look like a foreign language, especially to those with no prior experience. Fortunately, it’s not actually hard to understand once you become familiar with the symbols and code. The diagram typically consists of symbols and arrows indicating the path that the wires must trace. Each symbol represents a specific type of component within the system. A key (sometimes accompanied by labels) explains what each symbol stands for.
For instance, one of the most common symbols is the ‘G’, which stands for ground connection. On the other side of the spectrum, the arrow is used to indicate that the wire must go in a certain direction. Arrows may also be preceded by a ‘+’ sign, indicating that a voltage is provided to the given component.
Advantages of Boat Fuel Gauge Wiring Diagrams
Boat fuel gauge wiring diagrams offer a complete overview of a boat’s power system. This means that boat owners can identify problems quickly and diagnose them easily. For amateurs, these diagrams provide visual guidance, allowing a more straightforward understanding of the boat’s inner workings. On the other hand, experienced boat technicians can use the diagrams to save time when servicing or troubleshooting.
Using a boat fuel gauge wiring diagram is also useful for preventing accidents and making repairs. Accidents are more likely if some of the boat's components are wired incorrectly. Similarly, following a wiring diagram simplifies repairs, allowing you to make changes with confidence.
Installing Boat Fuel Gauge Wiring Diagrams
Starting to install a boat fuel gauge wiring diagram can be intimidating, even for experienced mechanists. You should always adhere to the instructions provided with the product; otherwise, you could end up damaging your boat. If you're going to follow a wiring diagram from the internet, make sure that it’s reliable and up to date. Finally, it’s always a good idea to use color-coded wires when connecting your components. This helps you avoid confusion later on and lets you easily adapt the wiring to make changes.
Whether you’re an amateur or professional boat owner, understanding how boat fuel gauge wiring diagrams works is essential. It can make all the difference between a successful day trip on the lake and a disastrous one. Always take the time to understand the diagrams, and you’ll never lack information about your vessel’s power supply.

My favorite thing to watch is a good anthology series. Hands down, I will binge watch an anthology every opportunity I’m given. That’s why I couldn’t believe I had missed Hulu’s answer to The Outer Limits, Dimension 404.
Bizarre, awesome and highly stylized, Legion has become the best Marvel series on TV. No longer exploring the topic of madness, so what is real and what isn’t in Season 2 of the TV show?
Independent comics meet indie filmmakers as Team Troma visited the Comic Book Men for a grueling casting call in the recent episode, “Troma-tized!”
I love a good short story. Whether it’s a one-off comic, a piece of flash fiction or an episode of an anthology series, I’m a sucker for short form. Growing up, I devoured anthologies — literary and cinematic — because… Continue Reading →
2017 was an absolutely phenomenal year for television. New shows and returning series made absolutely incredible impressions, but that’s not to say there weren’t any disappointments. New and original IPs seemed to dominate, while superhero series seemed to finally be… Continue Reading →

UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - Recent hurricanes have devastated Haiti, killing hundreds and destroying years of fragile economic progress in the hemisphere’s poorest nation, President Rene Preval said on Friday.
Around 700 people were killed when the Caribbean country was battered by tropical storms Fay and Hanna and hurricanes Gustav and Ike in just a few weeks.
“The damage caused by the passage of these four successive hurricanes in less than two months has set Haiti back several years,” Preval told the U.N. General Assembly in New York.
The U.N. says Haiti’s government and its mission are overwhelmed by the scale of the disaster in a country where many of 9 million people live on less than $2 a day.
The crisis threatens Preval’s efforts to strengthen democratic institutions and stability in Haiti, which has seen little but upheaval since it ended French rule more than 200 years ago.
Deadly riots sparked by soaring food prices struck the country in April and helped topple the government.
The U.N. has appealed for $108 million in aid for Haiti and Preval urged more longer-term reconstruction efforts beyond immediate food and disaster relief.
“We have to break this paradigm of charity in our approach to international cooperation... because charity has never helped any country to get out of underdevelopment,” he said.
The United Nations says Gonaives, a west coast port city of about 300,000, has been almost completely destroyed with all homes flooded by mud.
U.N. officials say about 800,000 people are in dire need of help. Storms have caused more than $200 million in damage to the farming sector and Haiti may have lost 3 to 4 percentage points of gross domestic product after the disaster.

Owner car Guy 406 544 6919
The Pontiac Fiero is a mid-engined sports car that was built by the Pontiac
division of General Motors from 1984 to 1988. The Fiero—meaning "proud"
in Italian and "wild", "fierce", or "ferocious" in Spanish—was designed
by George Milidrag and Hulki Aldikacti as a Pontiac sports car. The Fiero
was the first two-seater Pontiac since the 1926 to 1938 coupes, and also
the first and only mass-produced mid-engine sports car by a U.S.
manufacturer. Many technologies incorporated in the Fiero design such as
plastic body panels were radical for its time. Alternative names considered
for the car were Sprint, P3000, Pegasus, Fiamma, Sunfire, and Firebird
XP. The Fiero 2M4 (two-seat, Mid-engine, four-cylinder)
was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1984. The 1984 Fiero was
the Official Pace Car of the Indianapolis 500 for 1984, beating out the new
1984 Chevrolet Corvette for the honor.
370,168 Fieros were produced over the relatively short production run of
five years; by comparison, 163,000 Toyota MR2s were sold in its first five
years. At the time, its reputation suffered from criticisms over
performance, reliability and safety issues. Today, however, compared to
less adventurous attempts at two-seaters such as the Ford EXP, the unique
style of the Fiero compared to other American cars has left it a cult
following as a collectible car. It remains a popular chassis for rebodies
and electric conversions
Already selling the Corvette, General Motors management and accountants
were opposed to investing in a second two-seater sports car. But in 1979,
during the oil crisis, management saw a market opportunity for a
fuel-efficient sporty commuter car, and design work on the Fiero commenced.
To this end, it was fitted with a fuel efficient version of GM's 2.5 L
four-cylinder "Iron Duke" engine capable of 27 mpg-US (8.7 L/100 km; 32
mpg-imp) in the city and 40 mpg-US (5.9 L/100 km; 48 mpg-imp) on the
highway with the economy-ratio transmission option. These figures are U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency test-circuit results, published by Pontiac,
and confirmed from multiple sources. It was impressive mileage for a 2.5
L engine of the period, and still good by today's standards, but the
three-speed automatic reduced highway mileage to only 32 mpg-US (7.4 L/100
km; 38 mpg-imp). With respect to fuel economy, the Fiero would appeal to a
market niche for which the Corvette with its V8 engine was unsuitable.
1987 saw changes to the front and rear fascias on the "base coupe" with the
SE and GT models keeping the same "Aero" nose. The new non-aero noses lost
the black bumper pads of the earlier models and had a smoother look. The
four-cylinder engine's power rating increased to 98 hp (73 kW) with some
major modifications which included a roller cam, redesigned intake
manifold, distributorless ignition system (DIS), open combustion chamber
cylinder head and upgraded throttle-body fuel injection system. This was
the last year for the spin-on oil filter on the four-cylinder. The car was
offered in Bright Metallic Blue and replacing the ribbed black molding was
the round style found on the GT models. As a side note, the SE models
retained the ribbed molding, and added the aero nose found on the GT.
Redesigned headlight motors appeared in 1987. Additionally, starting with
the 1987 model Pontiac dealerships offered an upgrade in the form of an
"option" that changed the original body to a Ferrari-type body, called the
Fiero Mera. While technically a "kit", the change in body style was offered
only on new Fieros and is considered a class of car in its own right. There
was a limited production of Fiero Meras made however, as the company that
produced them, Corporate Concepts, was sued by Ferrari and ordered to stop.

The Mitsubishi Galant Λ (Lambda) is a two-door hardtop coupé built by
Mitsubishi Motors from 1976 to 1984. From 1978 it was exported under
various names; as the Mitsubishi Sapporo in Europe and South America (named
for the Japanese city of Sapporo, Hokkaido), the Dodge Challenger and
Plymouth Sapporo in North America and Puerto Rico, and the Chrysler
Scorpion and later the Mitsubishi Scorpion in Australia. It was also sold
as a Sapporo in the United Kingdom under the Colt brand.
Introduced in Japan in December 1976, the Lambda was described not as a
coupé but a "personal luxury car", as Mitsubishi already had the
Lancer-based Celeste coupé in its line-up.
The car was marketed in North America as a captive import of the Dodge and
Plymouth divisions of Chrysler; the cars differed only in minor details
such as taillights, interior trim and available colors. Despite being
mechanically identical, the Dodge was positioned to appeal to the
performance market while the Plymouth was targeted at the luxury market.
Although the car received generally positive reviews, it was not overly
successful in the United States. The discontinuance of the Sapporo after
the 1983 model year helped make way for the products of the newly formed
Chrysler-Mitsubishi joint-venture, Diamond Star Motors, as well as the
entrance of Mitsubishi into the American market under its own name.
In Australia the car was imported from Japan as a flagship model to
Chrysler Australia's highly successful Sigma range.

Chess tournament, movie screening, pancake breakfast, grandparents day, spirit night, parade, service project… How will you celebrate school choice this January?
One of the most dynamic ways we see schools celebrate their learning choice each National School Choice Week is through pep rallies. Not only can rallies kick off the January semester with positive vibes, they can be powerful tools to build school spirit in a community.
For National School Choice Week 2020, for example, yellow fleeces were flying as Freedom Prep Academy rallied in celebration. After handing out scarves to students and staff, the school community gathered in the gym to turn up the music and participate in the National School Choice Week dance.
Then, students sat cross-legged with their friends. Student representatives and special guest speakers took the mic to reflect on school choice’s impact on their lives. As you can see, the rally planners didn’t miss the opportunity for great photos!
Meanwhile, at Butte Central Catholic High School in Montana, students assembled in their school’s rotunda for their own celebratory rally. Local community leaders were invited to visit and students received a school-choice themed message from their principal. Principal J.P. Williams shared in his remarks.
“School choice is super important. There are so many reasons why parents choose to send their kids to a particular school, or a particular school system,”Principal J.P. Williams
Butte Central Catholic High School’s rally included the reading of a local proclamation officially recognizing the week as National School Choice Week.
Some schools find it easier to go outside for a rally rather than clearing a space inside their school building. Harmony School of Science gathered outside during National School Choice Week 2020 to celebrate and perform the dance they’d been practicing:
The bottom line is this: A pep rally is an incredibly rewarding way to bring students and staff together and celebrate in the comfort of your school. It will require more effort than simply handing out scarves or wristbands. But, taking your celebration to this next level will allow your students to soak in the excitement of what their school choice offers.
How will you celebrate?
If you’re interested in planning a rally or another special event this January, reach out to Mackenzie Mate at email@example.com.

Marlborough – State Treasurer Deborah B. Goldberg announced that Marlborough High School is among the 2015 recipients of the Financial Education Innovation Fund, an initiative that will provide grants to expand financial literacy fairs in high schools across the commonwealth. The grants are funded from the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation through its Division of Banks settlement over alleged unlawful lending practices.
“I have experienced firsthand the critical skills these ‘Credit for Life’ fairs teach our high school students,” Goldberg said. “These new grants will help students to budget their money responsibly and make informed financial decisions as they prepare to enter college or begin their careers.”
Credit for Life fairs are designed to be an innovative and effective way for students to learn about making real world decisions when it comes to saving, spending, and budgeting their money based on a range of career choices and lifestyle decisions.
Through an extensive application process that culminated in June, the Treasurer’s Office awarded 20 high schools across the commonwealth nearly $70,000 in grant money to expand upon or establish programs.
The innovation fund will be an ongoing effort to expand financial literacy, so schools will have the opportunity to apply next year.

Diageo’s Guinness brand has released two new products, Guinness Dublin Porter and Guinness West Indies Porter.
Guinness’ new beverages are inspired by brewers’ diaries from 1796 and 1801 and are the first results of Guinness’ ‘Brewers Project’ created in order to bring a variety of exciting new creations to the brand’s portfolio.
Constantia Flexibles worked with Diageo to create pressure-sensitive, paper substrate labels for the new drinks, which aim to convey a vintage look and include the trademark harp and Arthur Guinness’ signature that was first introduced in 1862.
In order to combine a vintage feel on a modern coated paper substrate, the labels on the new drinks are finished with a unique matte varnish incorporating a masking effect over the colours. Both labels are die cut into completely different shapes to portray heritage as well as individuality.
“As beer lovers’ tastes and the beer landscape itself evolves, it’s important we continue to stay at the forefront of beer innovation,” said head of innovation for Guinness, Nick Curtis-Davis. “Our two new beers, Dublin Porter and West Indies Porter, are examples of this innovation and demonstrate the exciting things our brewers are continuing to do with stout.”

What Are Garden Pots & Planters?
Garden pots and planters
are containers used to grow plants, flowers, and herbs. They come in various shapes, sizes, and materials, including clay, plastic, metal, and wood. Garden pots and planters can be placed on patios, and balconies, or used for indoor plants. The use of garden pots and planters allows for growing plants in limited spaces and can add a decorative touch to any outdoor or indoor area. The soil, plants, and water are contained within the pot, allowing for easy maintenance and mobility, as the pots can be moved to different locations to adjust for sunlight or design purposes. Choose from large to small, round to square, and modern to traditional, our garden pots and planters offer a variety of styles to suit your needs. Whether you’re looking for traditional terra cotta or modern concrete, we have all of your plant potting needs covered.
Features of the Garden Pots & Planters
1. Material: They are made of different materials, including clay, plastic, metal, and wood, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. For example, clay pots are porous and allow air to circulate, but they can crack at extreme temperatures. Plastic pots are lightweight and durable, but they can retain moisture, leading to root rot.
2. Size and Shape: Garden pots and planters come in a variety of sizes and shapes, ranging from small tabletop planters to large containers that can accommodate several plants.
3. Drainage: Most garden pots and planters have drainage holes to allow excess water to escape and prevent root rot. Some also come with saucers to collect the drainage water.
4. Portability: Garden pots and planters are lightweight and can be easily moved, making them ideal for rearranging your garden or adjusting for sunlight conditions.
5. Design: Garden pots and planters come in a variety of designs and colors, allowing for the personalization of your outdoor or indoor space.
These features make garden pots and planters an essential tool for gardeners and those looking to add greenery to their homes.
The role of the Garden Pots & Planters
Garden pots and planters
play an important role in gardening and landscaping. They are used to hold and cultivate plants, flowers, herbs, and other vegetation in a controlled environment. Pots and planters provide an alternative to planting directly in the ground and can be used to add color, texture, and interest to outdoor spaces. They can be used to create outdoor living spaces, balconies, patios, and decks. Additionally, garden pots and planters allow for greater flexibility in design and arrangement, as they can be moved and rearranged as needed.

We currently have the following network setup
Router (external IP)
ASA (external IP on OUTSIDE interface and an internal IP on the INTERNAL interface - doing NAT)
ISA 2006 EE (internal IP on both interal/external interfaces - using ROUTE)
L3 Switches w/ intervlan routing - with the ISA IP as default gateway of the L3 switches
Basically we have a Site-To-Site VPN terminated on the Cisco ASA. If we connect the L3 switch and set the default gateway to the internal ip address of the Cisco ASA, the VPN is working fine - so from the VPN point of view everything is fine. When we try to access the VPN through the ISA (as a gateway) it gives out: - 0xc004002d FWX_E_UNREACHABLE_ADDRESS.
VPN network (of other peer) - 192.168.101.0/24
ASA internal IP address - 192.168.1.10/24
ISA external IP address - 192.168.1.20/24 (default gateway set to 192.168.1.10)
ISA internal IP address - 192.168.2.20/24
L3 Switch - 192.168.2.10/24 - (which links the internal interface of the ISA) (default gateway set to 192.168.20.20)
L3 Switch - 192.168.20.10/24 - (gateway ip address for the 192.168.20.0 network)
Workstation accessing the VPN - 192.168.20.2/24
From the ISA I have configured a static persistent-route to route 192.168.101.0/24 to 192.168.1.10 (ASA IP). Also there is a Network Rule inside the ISA to - route - from 192.168.1.20.0/24 to 192.168.101.0/24.
Also there is an access list for this.
Basically all the traffic (which includes CIFS etc.. (everything)) which is addressed to the other site (192.168.101.0/24) has to pass through the ISA internal -> external interfaces without getting blocked and it should just - route - it to the ASA.
Can someone help out on this problem? Or point out what exactly needs to be done to allow such traffic to pass through the ISA?

I would absolutely recommend Adore Plaza29 July 2005
All my dealings with Adore PLaza were excellent. I emailed them from the UK to book a room and got a very quick and polite response back from Santi, the guy who runs the hostel. He was extremely polite and always had a friendly word for us during our stay not to mention some excellent eating recommendations. He was also very accomodating about us changing the dates of our stay once there. Our room was very clean and had a balcony over the plaza where we sat in the evenings with a cold beer and watched the buskers. The bathrooms ,as has been said, were immaculate. The location, cleanliness and friendly staff mean I would recommend this pension to anyone.
Wonderful!5 March 2004
Huge clean rooms. Hardwood floors i believe. Balcony. Lockers. No bunk beds. Book exchange! We stayed a few nights and loved it. Worth every penny. The woman who runs it is extremely friendly and professional, and the cleaning lady was also nice. And the bathrooms.. oh the bathrooms. Fancier than mine here at home. Cleaner too.
Great hostel in a great town23 December 2003
I stayed there last month and I really liked it. I felt at home and the people were really cool. The location is great, overlooking the main square just in the middle of the old town, the atmosphere is fun, the facilities are good and clean....I look back at my time at Adore Plaza as the best time I had in Europe so far.

Immaculate Washrooms/Rooms, heart of the city9 June 2003
Well, I actually did stay here and I must say this was the absolute cleanest hostel I've stayed at. The checkin procedure is a little wierd though, because you need to checkin at Pension Anne, and they will walk you over to this place, so I can understand why the other reviewer may have had some issues. The washrooms are amazing though, I don't think my washroom at home is kept as spotless or as well furnished. The dorm room overlooks the square, which used to be used as a bull fighting arena. The square is pretty much the heart of Old San Sebastian and you can barhop to your hearts delight (although anytime past 11pm, and you'd be hard pressed to find anything but backpackers in the bar, the locals seem to stay away). Yes, it is a little expensive, but I was more then happy to dish out the extra cash for the amazing location, and the absolutely spotless dorm room. And I found the lady working there to be quite receptive towards backpackers needs.
Terrible and rude29 May 2003
I would strongly advise to not stay at this hostel. We made a reservation at this hostel and the owners didnt even have the decency to be there. Leaving us to find out on our own that they had gone out and the guest who had answered the door said they wouldnt be back for the day. To make maters worse they charged us for out nights accommodation on our card and refused to refund it. I would highly recommend that you dont stay at this place. I dont really know what the rooms were like but the owners were very rude in all correspondence.

X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, suspended a number of high-profile journalists Tuesday, including Steven Zetti of the Texas Observer and Ken Klippenstein of the Intercept. The pages for each of the suspended accounts offers no explanation for their removal and does not say if the suspensions are temporary or permanent bans. Each page carries a short message that “X suspends accounts which violate the X rules.”
“I haven't received any communications from Twitter/X about why I have been suspended,” Monacelli, who has 72,000 followers on X, told Motherboard. “I can't think of anything I've posted lately that would be worthy of suspensions. Although I have written multiple critical reports about Twitter/X and Elon Musk.” Klippenstein, who has more than 497,000 followers on X, recently reported on Musk in a story headlined “Elon Musk Discussed AI With Israeli Military as It Uses AI to Bomb Gaza.”
Kendra Barnett, senior reporter at The Drum, pointed a finger directly at Musk, saying in a post on X that “Elon Musk is silencing his critics on X again, including The Intercept's Ken Klippenstein & Texas Observer's Steven Monacelli. It’s another ironic move from the billionaire, who has described himself as a “free speech absolutist.”
“If you are one of those people who actually believe that Elon Musk is a principled champion of free speech, then you maybe one of the dumbest people to have ever walked the earth,” said former MSNBC host Medhi Hasan on X, one of several high-profile journalists taking to the platform to accuse Musk of censorship.
Shortly after former CNN host Don Lemon announced that he would launch The Don Lemon Show on X, calling it “the biggest space for free spech in the world,” former MSNBC prime time host Keith Olbermann reacted with a profanity-laden message directed at Lemon, saying “on the same day @elonMusk suspended half a dozen journalists including Ken Klippenstein without explanation?...You're working for the enemies of free speech.”
By Tuesday afternoon, Klippenstein and Monacelli reported that their accounts had been reinstated—though without any explanation from X for the suspensions:


"Fracking" opponents pack NY budget hearing
Gandhi's grandson gov. with pledge of resistance
Busloads of opponents of natural gas drilling using hydraulic fracturing are in Albany to hear the state's top environmental official testify before lawmakers.
State lawmakers are expected to question Department of Environmental Conservation Commissioner Joe Martens about fracking. One shouting protester confronted Martens before he began his testimony Monday morning.
Later Monday, Arun Gandhi, grandson of nonviolent protest leader Mahatma Gandhi, will be among those presenting a "pledge of resistance" to fracking to Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Cuomo has said his budget doesn't include increased spending for fracking regulation because DEC hasn't completed its environmental review and decided whether to end a 4 ½-year-old moratorium.

In March 2019, members of the U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team (WNT) filed a collective and class action lawsuit in federal court against the United States Soccer Federation, Inc. (USSF), asserting claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Pay Act (EPA).
On May 1, 2020, a U.S. district court judge in the Central District of California ruled in favor of the USSF on nearly all of its requests for summary judgment (dismissal without a trial), removing the bulk of the WNT’s claims and leaving few issues for the upcoming trial.
The WNT’s lawsuit centered on the following claims:
- The USSF discriminated against the WNT in violation of the EPA and Title VII by paying them less than similarly situated players on the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team (MNT).
- The USSF discriminated against the WNT in violation of Title VII by providing unequal working conditions between the WNT and MNT.
The WNT’s main contention—that the USSF paid WNT players less than MNT players—was summarily rejected by the court.
Judge Bases Ruling on Total Compensation Calculation
Under the EPA, employers must provide equal pay to employees, regardless of sex, “for equal work on jobs the performance of which requires equal skill, effort, and responsibility.” To be successful on its EPA claim, the WNT had to prove it was paid less than the MNT.
While the WNT argued the men’s team’s collective bargaining agreement (CBA) provided for higher bonuses than the WNT’s, the court found the women, as a whole, made more money than the men in the relevant time period due to guaranteed wages they had negotiated.
According to the court, “wages” paid to employees include all compensation received—base pay, bonuses, benefits, and more. By simply looking at the difference in bonus structures between the teams’ CBAs, the women’s team had focused on only a portion of the wages received. Because the WNT, on the whole, made more money in the relevant time period than the MNT, the court found members of the women’s team couldn’t prove they were paid less than members of the men’s team.
The court furthered this point by highlighting that the WNT, which could have negotiated a similar “pay-to-play” agreement as the one found in the MNT’s CBA, rejected that structure in contract negotiations to ensure guaranteed compensation for its members. Based on the facts, the court granted summary judgment in favor of the USSF on the WNT’s unequal pay claims.
Trial Scheduled on Unequal Working Conditions Claim
As for the remaining claim—Title VII discrimination based on unequal working conditions—the court denied the USSF’s request for summary judgment.
According to the court, questions remained regarding whether the USSF violated Title VII by providing unequal working conditions between the WNT and MNT. Specifically, the women claimed unequal travel conditions (including charter flights and hotel accommodations) and personnel and support services (such as medical and training support). The claim will continue to trial, which is currently set for mid-June.
Lessons for Employers
Although the USSF received a favorable ruling, the court’s decision provides a few important reminders for employers regarding EPA and Title VII claims:
- You must ensure all wages—including base salary, bonuses, benefits, and more—are equal between employees who perform “equal work.” Merely paying them the same base salary won’t protect you from an EPA claim if they can show their potential for bonuses (as an example) is less than an employee of the opposite sex and no legitimate reason for such difference exists.
- If an employee can show unequal working conditions between employees of the opposite sex, you could be subject to liability under Title VII. As employees begin to return to the workplace after the pandemic, evaluate your policies and procedures to ensure not only employee safety with respect to COVID-19 but also that the working conditions in place do not vary (without legitimate reason) based on an employee’s sex.
- Due to the publicity and media attention surrounding lawsuits that include unequal pay claims, a favorable legal ruling doesn’t equate to a favorable ruling in the court of public opinion. In the WNT case, the team’s supporters continue to rally behind it and against the USSF. You must be aware that in the current era, allegations of unequal pay or treatment based on sex will likely be met with unwanted social attention (which can have an economic impact on your business). Your consistent review of policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the EPA and Title VII can help you avoid costly lawsuits.

Late last spring, I took my 15-year-old niece, Hannah, to an event at the Winspear Opera House, just one of the splendid venues in the AT&TPerformingArtsCenter. We left her home in Far North Dallas early enough to have dinner at OneArtsPlaza. After I paid the bill, we strolled across the campus of Booker T. Washington.
We passed a grubby young man dramatically stroking a wooden wand in the air. His head tossed back and forth, then side-to-side like a mad man as he practiced conducting an orchestra. A group of thespians sat under a tree and listened as a young man read from a script. The afternoon sun lit his face like a peach-colored spotlight. He only managed to recite, “To be or not to be” before a bearded student with a saxophone snuck up behind him and blasted a faintly discernible jazz riff. They wrapped tattooed arms around the disheveled Hamlet and pulled him to the ground and collapsed in laughter. My niece was spellbound.
“I want to live here,” Hannah said. “Downtown Dallas is amazing.” Check out the rest here.

Ups and downs of a beginner...
Thursday, January 24, 2013
Well, I've overloaded on carbs the last two days....relying way too heavily on pasta-based meals (my go-to comfort meal). Despite this, I've stayed to appropriate portion sizes and have been WAY more conscious of what I eat during the day. Today, I said "I'm going to have either one of those cookies or a cup of coffee, but not both", chose the cup of coffee, and stuck with that choice. I also came to the realization that I use about 150 calories a day on coffee/coffee creamer. I've tried other alternatives to the creamer, but they just don't taste good to me so I have to come to a hard decision about my daily vice. Honestly, only two weeks in, I already feel more energized during the day and haven't really been craving/needing the coffee like I did before. I'm going to try to cut out at least one cup a day for now (I usually have two "doses" - one in the AM and one after lunch, but each cup is actually 16 oz).
Goals for tomorrow:
1. Hold off on coffee until after lunch, drink water during the morning.
2. Plan meals for the next two weeks and make a grocery list.
3. 2-mile walk

Only 20% of Europeans1 associate counterfeiting with medicines
– According to the survey1 of 5,010 people conducted by happycurious for Sanofi
in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and England –
Paris, France – Committed to the fight against counterfeiting for many years, Sanofi now reveals how Europeans perceive counterfeit drugs through a survey of 5,010 people in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom.
“The general public is not sufficiently informed about the existence of counterfeit drugs and the risks it may be taking in certain purchasing situations. Counterfeit medicines are a real danger to patients’ health. For example, they may not contain the same amount of active ingredient as the genuine drug or not meet the same requirements in terms of quality, efficiency and safety as the genuine treatments”, said Dr Caroline Atlani, anti-counterfeiting coordination director at Sanofi. “77% of those surveyed feel they do not receive sufficient information about counterfeit medicines. These results confirm the need to continue our fight against drug counterfeiting, especially by raising public awareness”.
Europeans and what they know about counterfeiting: primarily luxury goods and clothing brands
Very few of the Europeans surveyed associate the term ‘counterfeiting’ with medicines (20%). It is the French and the Germans who are the most well informed, while the respondents in Spain appeared to be less concerned by the issue. Respondents usually associate counterfeiting with luxury goods and major clothing brands.
While a majority (66%) have heard of drug counterfeiting, respondents seem to have little information on the issue of counterfeit medicines: 77% say they have not been adequately informed or are ignorant on the subject.
84% of those surveyed say they have never seen or identified a counterfeit drug.
There is a consensus among Europeans about the DANGER of counterfeit medicines insofar as 96% believe that counterfeit drugs can be and are probably dangerous.
Potential exposure to counterfeit medicines: first the Internet, then travel
The perception of the danger of counterfeit medicines is crystallized around online drug purchasing, since 90% of respondents name the Internet as the primary potential source of dissemination of counterfeit medicines.
Of the 18% of people claiming to have purchased drugs online, 78% felt that their purchase was safe.
In contrast, 60% of those who said they had never purchased medicines online did not because they felt that this method of sale represented a real danger. 55% of the total sample simply said that they prefer physical points of sale.
There are wide differences between countries regarding the use of the Internet for drug purchases: Germany is rather special in that economic arguments have led to online purchasing becoming commonplace. The United Kingdom also seems more prone to online purchasing, but nonetheless remains cautious, and the three Latin countries (France, Spain and Italy) are very reticent.
51% of the total sample surveyed feels that they may be exposed to counterfeit drugs when traveling. Europeans tend to plan ahead, as 81% say they travel with a first aid kit.
The fight against drug counterfeiting, a major issue for Sanofi
In 2007 Sanofi created a central coordination unit of internal expertise potentially affected by drug counterfeiting: Industrial Affairs, Safety, Medical and Regulatory Affairs, Legal, Public Affairs and Communication. This operational network improves reactivity and helps to implement concrete actions to fight against drug counterfeiting. In 2008, the group created the Central Laboratory for Counterfeit Analyses on its pharmaceutical site in Tours to analyse products suspected of being counterfeit versions of Sanofi drugs. Working hand in hand with national and international authorities, Sanofi and other stakeholders are in favour of passing legislation to fight effectively against counterfeit medicines and punish the perpetrators. Sanofi also strives to raise public awareness through a website providing information and advice www.fauxmedicamentsvraisdangers.com and has also created a ‘travel tips’ application. In December 2012 and January 2013 Sanofi conducted a campaign to raise awareness among Air France’s long-haul passengers by producing a film played on aircraft and publishing tips in the on-flight magazine.
Drug counterfeiting across the globe
- 1 in 10 drugs sold worldwide is counterfeit; this figure reaches 7 out of 10 in some countries2.
- In recent years, medicines were the leading counterfeit products seized by European customs, ahead of counterfeit cigarettes3.
- $75 billion in 2010: the profits yielded by counterfeit medicines; they are greater than those derived from drug trafficking4.
- For every $1,000 invested, criminals can generate $20,000 in profits from heroin trafficking and $400,000 by trafficking counterfeit medicines5.
- In 2013, 99 countries collaborated on Operation Pangea VI to fight against illegal online pharmacies. It resulted in the closure of 13,700 websites and the seizure of more than 10 million drugs worth a total of $36 million5.
Sanofi, a global healthcare leader, discovers, develops and distributes therapeutic solutions focused on patients’ needs.
