Two weeks ago Matt and Jerid were out at the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, NV discovering industry innovations, making fantastic connections and racking up their steps! They originally met through their involvement in SEMA about 7 years ago, so being able to volunteer time and actively participate in events like the annual SEMA Show is always a priority. While BuiltRight hasn't had a physical booth at the event for the past few years, Matt always gets out there in person!
The guys saw some awesome builds and really loved seeing our products put to use. We met up with some favorite vendors, spoke with existing and future customers, and got to check out the newest developments in the world of automotive aftermarket technology.
While we are truck guys at heart, overall we're enthusiasts, so getting to check out the different convention halls and vehicles on display was a highlight of the show. From an overland-built Toyota Tundra sitting next to a slammed DeLorean, to an offroad-focused Ford Mach-E with a winch mounted in the frunk... we saw it all.
Tons of folks have flooded the overland and offroad world recently, and we've welcomed them with open arms as they continue to help the pursuit (and subsequently the industry) grow. Luckily this means that we get to keep seeing a bunch of wild new builds every year. We've had the honor of helping many of these guys with their projects, and can't wait to see what gets dreamed up for next year's show!
Check out our recap video from the 2023 SEMA Show below!

The U.S. Department of Energy today announced historic new efficiency standards for commercial air conditioners and furnaces. Developed with industry, utilities, and environmental groups, these standards will save more energy than any other standard issued by the Department to date. Over the lifetime of the products, businesses will save $167 billion on their utility bills and carbon pollution will be reduced by 885 million metric tons.
“Just days after the Paris agreement to cut global emissions and create a new era of affordable energy, today’s announcement marks the largest energy-saving standard in history and demonstrates that America is leading the effort to reduce energy costs and cut carbon emissions,” said Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz. “This rule also shows that strong public-private partnerships can reap environmental and economic dividends and drive technology breakthroughs. These standards are a direct result of the Energy Department’s negotiated rulemaking process which brings diverse stakeholders to the negotiating table and supports industry innovation, demonstrating how government and business can work together to meet U.S. carbon reduction goals.”
During the Obama administration, the Department has finalized new efficiency standards for more than 40 household and commercial products, including commercial refrigeration equipment, electric motors, and fluorescent lamps, which will save consumers nearly $535 billion and cut greenhouse gas emissions by over 2 billion metric tons through 2030. Today’s announcement brings the Energy Department more than two-thirds of the way to achieving the goal of reducing carbon pollution by 3 billion metric tons through standards set in the President’s first and second terms. This is equivalent to cutting more than a year’s carbon pollution from the entire U.S. electricity system.
These new commercial air conditioning and furnace standards will occur in two phases. The first phase will begin in 2018 and will deliver a 13 percent efficiency improvement in products. Five years later, an additional 15 percent increase in efficiency is required for new commercial units.
Commercial air conditioners, also known as rooftop units, are commonly used in low-rise buildings such as schools, restaurants, big-box stores and small office buildings. They cool about half of the total commercial floor space in the United States.
To finalize this standard, the Department convened 17 stakeholders, including major industry organizations, including the Air Conditioning, Heating, and Refrigeration Institute and Air Conditioning Contractors of America, along with some of the nation’s leading manufacturers, utilities, and efficiency organizations. Manufacturing new products will provide skilled jobs for American workers, garnering the support of labor leaders. These standards also come after years of industry innovation.
The Energy Department’s High Performance Rooftop Unit Challenge catalyzed several manufacturers to develop more efficient, cost-effective rooftop air conditioners. With these new units commercialized, the Department’s Advanced Rooftop Unit Campaign has spurred businesses to upgrade over 40,000 rooftop units by providing them with technical assistance throughout the process. The new standards will ensure all businesses have access to energy-saving air conditioners that lower their utility bills for years to come.

The Future. As it becomes increasingly difficult to stand out in a crowded marketplace, marketers are looking for novel ways to put out brand content that resonates with shoppers — and they’re guessing that’s through music. If done right, collabing with a well-known artist to produce an exclusive track or creating original music as a brand may just give brands their viral moment.
Good musical stewards
Digiday highlights how marketers are using music to tap into culture and reach the target demographics of their clients.
- Pepsi partnered with Chloe Bailey to release a new version of the song “Footloose” with a TikTok challenge.
- General Mills’ Monsters Cereal brand launched a new zombie DJ character with her own TikTok account featuring a remix of “Monster Mash.”
- Coca-Cola created its own studio to record original songs.
While reaching music culture authentically is good for business, using a song or artist just to increase cultural cache and the bottom line risks misalignment and even public backlash, according to music marketing execs. Because music can be deeply personal with historical and cultural significance, fans can see right through inauthenticity. Remember the infamous Pepsi commercial with Kendall Jenner?

Imagine a dish that encapsulates the essence of spring, combining the rich, tender flavors of the ocean with the crisp, fresh earthiness of the garden. That dish is the Lemon-Garlic Salmon & Asparagus Foil Bake. This recipe is a celebration of simplicity, flavor, and health, a testament to the philosophy that great ingredients need little embellishment to shine.
Salmon has always held a special place in the hearts of gourmands around the world. Its vibrant color, delicate texture, and omega-3 packed profile make it a favored ingredient for those seeking both taste and nutrition. When baked, salmon transforms into a succulent treat, with its fats melting into a velvety texture, harmonizing perfectly with the tangy, aromatic lemon garlic butter sauce in the Lemon-Garlic Salmon & Asparagus Foil Bake.
But what elevates this dish to a true culinary delight is the inclusion of asparagus. Asparagus, with its distinctive flavor and crunchy texture, not only complements the salmon but also brings a burst of spring vitality to the Lemon-Garlic Salmon & Asparagus Foil Bake. Its earthy sweetness balances the richness of the salmon, while its snappy texture contrasts beautifully with the fish’s tenderness.
The beauty of this dish lies in its simplicity and the symphony of flavors created by just a few well-chosen ingredients. Baking the salmon in foil is a foolproof method that guarantees a moist, flavorful result every time. It’s a technique that encapsulates the flavors, steaming the salmon and asparagus in their natural juices and in the fragrant steam of the lemon garlic butter sauce.
This dish is not just about the interplay of flavors and textures; it’s also a nod to healthy eating. Salmon is a powerhouse of nutrients, loaded with protein, vitamins, and heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Asparagus is no slouch either; it’s a rich source of fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E, and K, and chromium, a trace mineral that enhances the ability of insulin to transport glucose from the bloodstream into cells.
Now, let’s embark on the culinary journey to create this delectable dish, the Lemon-Garlic Salmon & Asparagus Foil Bake. We’ll start with the ingredients and the method, and then explore various serving suggestions to make your meal a memorable experience.
Baked Salmon in Foil with Asparagus and Lemon Garlic Butter Sauce
4 salmon fillets
1 pound of asparagus, ends trimmed
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons lemon juice
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup
½ cup unsalted butter, melted
Zest of 1 lemon
Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Place each salmon fillet on a large piece of aluminum foil. Surround them with the asparagus.
- In a bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, melted butter, and lemon zest. Pour this mixture over the salmon and asparagus.
- Season everything with salt and pepper. Fold the foil over the salmon and asparagus, completely sealing the packet on all sides.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and asparagus is tender.
- Carefully open the foil packets, and if desired, broil for 2-3 minutes for a golden crust.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
The versatility of this dish allows it to be a canvas for a variety of serving suggestions. Whether you’re hosting a sophisticated dinner party or looking for a comforting weeknight meal, there’s a way to dress this dish up or down to suit the occasion.
For an elegant dinner, consider serving the salmon on a bed of creamy risotto or alongside a light, lemony arugula salad. The creaminess of the risotto contrasts beautifully with the flakiness of the salmon, while the peppery arugula salad adds a refreshing bite. Pair this meal with a crisp, dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or a light Pinot Noir to elevate the dining experience.
If you’re in the mood for comfort food, why not serve the salmon with a side of garlic mashed potatoes and steamed green beans? The buttery, garlicky potatoes are the perfect complement to the salmon, and the green beans add a pop of color and freshness to the plate.
For a low-carb option, consider serving the salmon over a bed of cauliflower rice or alongside a mixed green salad with a vinaigrette dressing. These lighter sides will allow the flavors of the salmon and asparagus to truly shine, while keeping the meal healthy and satisfying.
And let’s not forget brunch! This salmon can be flaked over a toasted bagel with cream cheese, capers, and red onion for a luxurious weekend brunch. Add a mimosa or a cup of freshly brewed coffee, and you have a brunch that rivals any upscale café.
Baked salmon in foil with asparagus and lemon garlic butter sauce is more than just a recipe; it’s a celebration of flavors, textures, and colors. It’s a dish that’s as versatile as it is delicious, fitting for any occasion, from a casual family dinner to a fancy gathering. This recipe is a testament to the power of simple, fresh ingredients and how, when combined thoughtfully, they can create a meal that’s both nourishing and indulgent.
As you savor each bite, remember that good food is not just about taste; it’s about the experience, the memories created, and the joy of sharing a meal with loved ones. So gather your ingredients, preheat your oven, and get ready to enjoy a dish that’s sure to become a cherished part of your culinary repertoire. Happy cooking!

The agitation of state-run jute mill workers rolled on to day four today without any lesser of resolution to reap demands of pay and arrears.
Several thousands of workers of Latif Bawani Jute Mill and Karim Jute Mill agitated at Demra, Dhaka, since 9:00am to press for the demands.
Carrying sticks, they were chanting slogans demanding payment of their overdue salaries and implementation of the Wage Commission of 2015.
They cleared the road blockades around 3:55pm and ended the protests for today. The agitating workers also vowed to take to the streets again on Saturday.
Separate blockades were reported on the roads in the adjacent areas especially on Sultana Kamal bridge area, causing sufferings to the commuters.
In Khulna, the mill workers also refrained from joining work in the morning in continuation of their countrywide strike, our local correspondent reports.
Khulna and Demra are home to 11 state-run jute mills.
As part of the agitation programme, they announced to stage demonstrations in Natun Rastar Mor, Kabir Bat Tala, Daulatpur and Khalishpur areas of the city from 4:00pm.
Some 70,000 workers are employed in the 23 jute and three non-jute mills under the state-run Bangladesh Jute Mill Corporation (BJMC).
Most jute mills workers have not been paid for six to 13 weeks.
DEMANDS AND PROGRAMMES
Their other demands include implementation of the Wage Commission of 2015, payment of gratuities and provident funds of retired workers, and appointment of workers and making their jobs permanent as per the law.
As part of the programme, no workers will join work and are expected to block roads and railways across the country from 4:00pm to 7:00pm every day for an indefinite period.


Today the crew of Brokebot Mountain invites fellow podcaster Justin Zenger from the Zeng This! Podcast to discuss the 1986 Oscar winning film, Aliens written and directed by James Cameron.
Fifty seven years after Ellen Ripley survived her disastrous ordeal, her escape vessel is recovered after drifting across the galaxy as she slept in cryogenic stasis. Back on Earth, nobody believed her story about the “Aliens” on the moon LV-426. After the “Company” orders the colony on LV-426 to investigate, however, all communication with the colony is lost. The Company enlists Ripley to aid a team of tough, rugged space marines on a rescue mission to the now partially terraformed moon to find out if there are aliens or survivors. As the mission unfolds, Ripley will be forced to come to grips with her worst nightmare, but even as she does, she finds that the worst is yet to come.

The last theatrically-released Bugs Bunny cartoon was False Hare (1964), by McKimson. But The Bunny never faded away. He continued to appear on television, not just in packages of cartoons sold to local TV stations and on his network Saturday morning show, but also in commercials advertising a variety of products.
During the 1970s and '80s, he appeared in a long succession of prime-time TV specials and even feature films, produced by his old directors, and consisting mainly of clips from the old cartoons. In 1996, he and his Looney Tunes cohorts were catapulted back into the limelight when they co-starred with Michael Jordan in the feature film Space Jam. Two years later, he appeared on a U.S. postage stamp. He's also an occasional guest star on Tiny Toon Adventures, where he's mentor and favorite instructor to a couple of latter-day toons, Babs & Buster Bunny.
In comics, Bugs did not fare so well. He appeared in both newspaper strips and comic books between the 1940s and the '70s, but none of them truly captured his character; nor were any notable writers or artists associated with him. In recent years, he has been revived as a comic book character, appearing regularly in the monthly Looney Tunes Comics, an occasional oneshot or mini-series of his own, and even as a... [continues]

This type of sand drawing is done on the central islands of Vanuatu: mainly Maewo, Pentecost, Ambae and Ambrym. The narration is a bit difficult to understand but here a sand drawing of a sea turtle is shown, which indicates that a child is of the family associated with the sea turtle. After the initial grid is drawn, the artist should not lift his finger, and if he makes a mistake he has to rub it out and start again.

Kazakhstan may become a donor of the Asian Development Bank, Kazakhstan’s Vice Minister of Finance Ruslan Dalenov wrote in his Twitter.
According to him, “Kazakhstan may become a donor of the ADB, while retaining the current status of loans recipient. A possible decision is being thrashed out”.
The Vice Minister elaborated that Kazakhstan has received loans totally worth $1.8 billion from the ADB. According to the Bank’s website, the country has been a member of the Bank since 1994.
The Asian Development Bank aims for an Asia and Pacific free from poverty. Approximately 1.8 billion people in the region are poor and unable to access essential goods, services, assets and opportunities to which every human is entitled.
Established in 1966, the Bank is a major source of development financing for the Asia and Pacific region. With more than $17.5 billion in approved financing, and 2,800 employees from 59 countries, ADB - in partnership with member governments, independent specialists and other financial institutions - is focused on delivering projects that create economic and development impact.
From 31 members at its establishment in 1966, ADB has grown to encompass 67 members - of which 48 are from within Asia and the Pacific and 19 outside.
ADB raises funds through bond issues on the world's capital markets. It also relies on its members' contributions, retained earnings from its lending operations, and the repayment of loans.
In 2010, ADB's total assistance totaled $17.51 billion.
The Bank’s headquarters is in Manila, Philippines. It has offices in 26 countries across the Asia and Pacific region, as well as representative offices in Washington, DC, Frankfurt, Tokyo and Sydney.

|5-1/2" x 8-1/2", watercolor & ink in Stillman & Birn Alpha series sketchbook|
To get the lacy effect behind the title, I tried a little experiment. I laid down one of my grandmother's starched, crocheted doilies and spritzed diluted purple watercolor paint through it, then quickly lifted the doily and allowed the paint to dry. I rewet the area later when I was ready to add the watery washes behind the hydrangea. I wanted them to mingle and flow, covering some of the lace background and assuring it didn't dominate the sketch.
To paint the leaves, I first applied pale yellow-green paint. When that was dry, I painted the spaces between the leaf veins with darker shades of greens, blues, and browns, leaving the impression of a lighter green vein.
|4" x 2" detail|
The texture and detail of the flower itself was intimidating, but, taking it one step at a time, and suggesting the tiny buds and blossoms in the center of the flower rather than trying to paint every detail, I think I managed to give an impression of the lace cap hydrangea. Here's how I approached it...
First, I applied very pale shades of blue to the petals of the larger individual blossoms, leaving areas of white for highlights. I put touches of the same blue in the flower center, along with a medium lavender, once again leaving some white areas for sparkle. Touches of olive green suggested unopened buds. Next, the shading on the flower petals was painted with darker blues and purples, along with touches of red-violet in the blossom centers. To suggest spots where dark green leaves showed through behind the flower head, I added a few accents of dark blue-green. I finished off the center with a few more touches of medium periwinkle blue.
I'm glad I decided to finally get over my fear of painting hydrangeas and give them a try this summer. They're definitely challenging to paint, but I love that I have two portraits of my favorite flowers in my sketchbook now. (See the other hydrangea sketch here.)

Despite making musical releases, Selena Gomez it’s been a while off the stage. His last tour was the “Revival Tour” in 2016. Also, the “Revival Tour” erarevelation” had no live performance. Previously, the disclosure of “rare” had a single performance at the American Music Awards. But don’t think she doesn’t miss it. She does, yes!
In an interview with Elle, she said she misses the warmth of the public.
Selena Gomez spoke on the subject:
“I haven’t been able to perform for a long time. It’s been really, really hard because I feel so disconnected from people, but they keep me moving. Even when I’m having a hard time on tour, they definitely keep me going and make me so happy, and I feel like I never know what I’ve done to deserve it, but I’m so lucky.”
When will she return to the stage to feel that human warmth, huh?
Selena Gomez praises Doja Cat
one thing that Selena Gomez likes to value is the union between women. Competition is something she has taken out of her life.
Honestly, she confesses that she was once competitive. “When I was younger, I was terrible at it. Oh my God, I couldn’t control it. I compared myself to every person who ever existed for a while. I have no idea why. Guess I just wanted to be someone else besides myself“, remember.
After all, she worked internally and that feeling changed. “Obviously, I’ve worked a lot on myself, and that’s not necessarily what brings me down, but I have to say that I believe there is this new wave, a generation where it’s not about competing with another woman.“, said.
she quotes doja cat as an example of an artist who values her colleagues: “I meet people like Doja Cat who is an artist and one of her songs, the whole thing is talking about how she encourages women and how she loves women and how they should be who they want to be. And I see a lot of people who are in my pop culture neighborhood, and that’s slowly changing. I feel it is. It’s been great to see“, he reflects.
“I only received support from women in the industry. I’ve never felt attacked or like I’m against anyone, so I’m very lucky. But when I was younger, that’s when people were a little meaner and more careless, so I guess so, a little more when I was younger.“, he added.


Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg spared over political bias and censorship during the Senate’s hearing Tuesday.
In back-to-back weekend rallies, Vermonters saw Second Amendment advocates defend constitutional liberty and hand out gun magazines, and they watched protesters at March for Our Lives demand gun control. TNR was there to capture the action on video.
Last week, the House Committee on General, Housing and Military Affairs took testimony on S.40, a bill that would give Vermont a $15 minimum wage by 2024. Watch video of the committee hearings held at the Vermont Statehouse.
In this episode of Vote for Vermont, co-hosts Pat McDonald and Ben Kinsley interview Tom Pelham about his career before joining the board, as well as what is being done to fix the ever-increasing cost of health care.
Gov. Phil Scott is on the verge of capitulating to the gun control lobby and changing Vermont’s longstanding tradition of safe gun freedom. But leaders in other states are standing up for America’s constitutional rights and rejecting solutions that punish law abiding citizens and do little to protect kids from active shooters.
In this episode of Vote for Vermont, co-hosts Pat McDonald and Ben Kinsley interview House Majority Leader Jill Krowinski about Democrats’ legislative priorities for the economy, protection of domestic violence victims, clean water, efficiency standards and more.
In this episode of Vote for Vermont, co-hosts Pat McDonald and Ben Kinsley interview state Rep. Brian Savage about Republicans’ priorities for legislative issues including taxes, education funding, marijuana and more.
“Most importantly, what this shows is what a lot of us have been saying all along: This was not a crisis spinning out of control. The United States wasn’t getting ready to preemptively attack North Korea. That maximum pressure, it was the right policy, and the president was right to stick with it.”
On Tuesday, voters in Bennington approved a $12.9 million municipal budget, said no to a mayoral form of government, and re-elected incumbents Jim Carroll and Donald Campbell to the Selectboard, among other items.
Mayor Miro Weinberger wins re-election, 72 percent of residents vote to approve $85 million school budget with 8 percent property tax increase, and voters say yes to more climate action and advising funding for affordable housing.
“If that were the only item on the ballot, then you would get almost 95 percent support. But look at the curve ball that was thrown.” Question 6 passed on Tuesday with 55 percent of the vote.

There are many different ways to say ‘I Love You’ and this is one of them.
Actually, this expression of one’s affection is actually the product of a successful film swap between *ishifishy* and *modern_nmt.* Ishyfishy is from India while modern_nmt is from Thailand, so it’s safe to assume that this photo was taken in two different countries.
Ishyfishy loaded the swapped Kodak Elitechrome EBX film into her *Lomo LC-A+* upon receiving it from modern_nmt. We’re not sure what camera modern_nmt used though, but this sure is one neat double exposure shot.
Congratulations for being our Photo of the Day winner!
By going on a photo walk waggrad00 was not only able to de-stress, she also had the chance to meet several interesting people along the way. One of them was this homeless fellow who made her as well as many others' day better with a small but thoughtful gesture.
Some people say instant photos bring about a feeling of nostalgia. Although I often use the Lomo'Instant Camera with different crazy accessories such as the Splitzer and color gels, I have to agree there is something about it — dreamy vignettes maybe? — that always makes me want to go back in time and experience it all over again. In the name of analogue photography and good old memories, we passed by some classic spots in Vienna and took one shot after the other. Take a closer look at our gallery.
Traveling in Burkina Faso is quite an adventure and a fantastic photographic experience. I went to this fascinating African country at the Sahel border twice and used many different ways of transportation.
It is clear from the wild variety of photos in the website that Lomographers will do just about anything to get a good shot. Some swap rolls with friends overseas while others concoct unheard-of film soups. And then there are the masters of operations, the ones who spy and crouch their way to a share-worthy picture. This is one such story.
It was a cold and cloudy winter day in 2012 when I came up with the idea of compiling photographs of people's faces. I decided that the most personal way to do it is through instant shots. They are one of a kind and you immediately have something in your hands.
This article is a tribute to the street and humanist photographer Sabine Weiss. Considered a living legend in street photography, she likes to photograph daily lives of people, trying to capture the emotions she recognizes around her. Weiss like to photograph people of all ages but she especially loves to take photos of children, masterfully immortalizing their spontaneous gestures and emotions. For this article, I was inspired by one of her rare sports photos of some children practicing judo. Do you want to know more about this great artist? Well, read on!
This article is dedicated to the British photojournalist and sport photographer Dennis Oulds, and to one of my favorite home games, Subbuteo Table Football. Here are some photos I took during a local tournament in Como. Take a look!
Experimental, stunningly beautiful, and pleasantly surprising are ways to effectively describe double exposure photography. Have you ever tried this creative technique? If you haven't, it's time to give it a try and share your best double exposed photos for the chance to win a copy of the photobook "Double Exposure" by Nickolas Muray.
The most incredible lightpainting tool is here! Consists of 200 full color RGB LEDs in a lightweight aluminium housing will color your analogue world in different way! Create and animate different shades and shapes with the Pixelstick!
This year marks the 70th anniversary of the publication of one of the most influential photography books ever, "Ballet" by the photographer, art director, and graphic designer Alexey Brodovitch. Brodovitch took a series of photos of classical dance in a very unconventional way, using very slow exposure times, trying to catch the true essence of Russian ballets. For this article, I took a series of photos at the Swing Crash Festival in my city, Como, held in June 2015.
There is nothing better than a photo shot at the perfect moment. Henri Cartier-Bresson's principle on "The Decisive Moment" is a principle that we should still follow to this day. A perfectly-timed photo creates impact, whether it's one of a friend jumping into the pool or a couple emerging from the ceremony on their wedding day. For this rumble, we want to see that breathtaking moment, shot at the perfect time. And you showed us what it's like to be on time.

Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) are the fad nowadays and none are as popular as The Gutter Cat Gang NFTs. The visual story of the Gutter Cat Gang takes place in post-apocalyptic 2050. The earth is all but dead and humans are now an interplanetary species (they live and travel across the universe).
The cats now run earth after the humans moved on and the story is set in the bad part of a city ridden with crime. The Gutter Cats are the cats that live in this city that exists in the ETH blockchain and they are portrayed differently based on their character traits.
The Gutter Cat Gang consists of 3000 different Gutter Cat NFTs. When you buy an individual gutter cat, you own the commercial and creative rights of your unique Gutter Cat. Additionally, you get initiated into the Gutter Cat Gang which is so cool.
How to Buy Gutter Cat Gang NFTs?
There are a lot of platforms you can use to buy a GCG NFT but here we will focus on the DApp Browser.
- Open your Trust Wallet DApp Browser and type io (Ethereum-based P2P marketplace for NFTs and other digital collectibles).
- Search for Gutter Cat Gang and go through what you want to purchase.
- Once you have picked what you want, click ’Buy Now’.
- Ensure you have Ethereum in your wallet before proceeding to ‘Checkout’.
- Approve the transaction on your Ethereum wallet and finish.
A point to note is that Ethereum gas fees change, therefore, you should consider that when buying any NFTs.
The Future Vision of the Gutter Cat Gang NFTs
The creators of the GCG NFTS will soon announce a date and time where the NFTs will go on public sale. As long as you are the owner of a GCG NFT, you will own its commercial rights. There are 3000 GCG NFTs currently in existence.
If a quarter of that number sells, the creators will launch the Gutter’s Discord Muscle. It will involve dedicated managers and moderators, working hand in hand with the developers to police the Gutter streets. If they sell half of the NFTs, they will select a random GCG owner and gift them with custom framed prints of their NFT.
They will launch official but exclusive GCG merchandise if they sell three quarters of the NFTs. When the NFTs sell out, they will release a limited edition of the GCG comic book. They will select random GCG owners to receive digital and physical copies of the comic book. All other GCG owners not selected will get claim tokenized versions to keep.
The future’s looking bright for the gang with talks of voting rights for GCG owners to participate in the development of the Gutter Cats Story Arcs in the Ethereum Blockchain and in the real world. They also get to decide if the Gang join social media, breed etc. There is a lot to look forward to if you decide to invest in the Gutter Cat Gang NFTs.
The beauty of the GCG NFTs is the community feel the creators have created around them. The project seems like a fun way for people that enjoy art and storytelling to come together. They are a good investment with a hopefully brighter future.

‘She was famous, too, as a sort of glamorous defective. Violet said it made her mad as hell, the way Violet got painted: blouse glossy and voluminous, like a gorgeous thing, but that she’d set this to rights, so we could hear her voice too. And I remembered: somewhere in Paris I saw a little copy of this painting of a fine woman. Blanche, on display – and even then, I understood the anger in myself that would be nursed by Violet. There she was, so pretty, buxom and velveteen, not all skew-eyed and jutting jaw like me. But she was not free: she was a subject and she was an object.’ (From Saving Lucia, chapter four, as all quotations.)
There is a painting of a woman called Blanche Wittmann by Brouillet. It’s called ‘A Clinical Lesson at the Salpêtrière’ (1887) and represents an imaginary scene of a contemporary scientific demonstration, based on real life, depicting the eminent French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot (1825-1893) delivering a clinical lecture and demonstration at the Pitié-Salpêtrière Hospital in Paris. Blanche, the hysteric in question, is a woman alone in a room full of men and she is both subject and object. I am very uncomfortable looking at this painting and draw on this in Saving Lucia.
Charcot was the foremost neurologist of late nineteenth-century France and has been called, the ‘Napoleon of the neuroses.’ His work greatly influenced the developing fields of neurology and psychology; modern psychiatry owes much to the work of Charcot and his direct followers. He was in charge of the Salpêtrière, then an asylum for those who were considered mentally ill; for hysterics. For most of Blanche’s adult life, the hospital was her home. It seems that she died there too, but we do not know where she is buried. She is at once entirely known and unknown. In the late nineteenth century, there were over eight thousand women at the Salpêtrière, and many remained there for life; post-mortem, Monsieur Charcot dissected their brains looking for discernible organic causes such as lesions. He found none. He had initially believed that hysteria was a neurological disorder for which patients were predisposed by hereditary features of their nervous system, but near the end of his life he concluded that hysteria was a psychological disease and the dissections stopped.
Monsieur Brouillet came to paint me; I was quite the thing against the stygian black of the doctors, don’t you think? The tendrils of my hair escaping down my neck. I had poise and gravitas in the pictures: he did not paint the days I crawled and slavered like a dog from la grande hystérie
Let me tell you a little more about what we know. Marie ‘Blanche’ Wittmann lived between 1859 (possibly) and 1903 (possibly). I have written Marie as her birth name, but in going over what records there are, there appears to have been some doubt about her name and its spelling. Blanche was, however, the name she held during the famous sessions at the Salpêtrière, Paris. Blanche was known as the ‘Queen of the Hysterics’ and, while being treated at the hospital, Charcot used her as one of his ‘hysterics’ to demonstrate the effects of hypnosis. He would also apply magnets to her body and ovarian compression, both of which he believed would work on hysteria, operative upon the nerves. Freud was much influenced by the work of Charcot and observed his work, although he came earlier to different conclusions about the causes of hysteria, attributing them instead to psychiatric causes.
Hysteria grew and grew under his hands. Do you suppose that he had created it? I worry that I helped. Made madness into a show and circus or made hysteria more, forgive me, more hysterical. When he died, it stopped. I did not think of it anymore and, obviously, neither did he.
It is my understanding that Blanche never left the Salpêtrière, but it appears that she went on to work in a radiology laboratory there while, not far away, Marie Curie carried out her pioneering work. As I researched Saving Lucia, I saw that fictional elements invented by Per Olov Enquist in The Story of Blanche and Marie were assumed to be true, by reviewers and in factual pieces upon her. Enquist makes Blanche Charcot’s lover but also turns her into Curie’s assistant and later her confidant when Curie’s husband, Pierre, is killed; he shows Blanche as having lost both legs and an arm during their work on pitchblende, continuing her work, moving about as a torso on a purpose-made trolley and gives us Blanche’s notebooks: yellow, black and red and all three encased in a brown envelope marked ‘Book of Questions,’ fascinating insight into her life and work, with Curie and Charcot. But these are fictional things. He tells you it is fiction and going through records, articles—even a more recent riposte published by a neurologist in ‘The Lancet’—gives us a clearer picture. That a gripping fiction would so readily be assumed as fact is interesting. Some might argue shaming. Was she not already fascinating enough? This much is alluded to in Saving Lucia. But please, although I include much that is real, do not assume my historical fiction all to be true, because that desecrates the memory of a real person: a person I found captivating and sought to know and respect.
I wonder if, in years to come, ideas and imaginings will be written down as facts and what I did not intend or become will be transfigured into untruth.
At the Salpêtrière, Charcot had kept a vast number of photographs of patients; he also had a lasting visual record of Blanche, in Brouillet’s painting, with Blanche providing an arresting, even glamorous figure, under the mesmerism of Charcot. She is quite the spectacle, isn’t she? But so are the myriad other women captured in photographs (Blanche was also photographed.). When I first saw those photographs and when I think of the huge asylums of times past, it makes me tremble. Ah, I have been mad, not known what time of day it was or where my feet were; whose hands I was looking at or where my fingers ended. I have felt, again, tremors at night, flashbacks of shimmering visceral beauty that were death and horror to me. I have been a case; I have been treated abruptly and called indulgent; reduced to a cipher, a composite of only other people’s opinions of me, instilled in childhood when I was aberrant, an eldritch child. I have been picked up from the floor by brilliant and diligent hands and I have been cured as best I can be by a brilliant psychologist in our NHS, helped by an attentive and determined GP. But I will never be entirely free of the results of trauma, so it is that when I see, really try to see, the women in Saving Lucia; when I see the painting of Blanche and the photographs of her and the other hysterics in Charcot’s great collection, I do not see a case or even an oddity. I just meet the eyes of another woman and I want to sit with her and say, ‘Tell me about you. May I tell you about me?’ And, as for Blanche, Queen of the Hysterics (after Hippolyte, who escaped and that is another story and a point of delicious queer interest in the book), I would want to do the same, to ask her if she were complicit in what Charcot put on, once a week, and which is depicted in the Brouillet painting; if she said yes, I would have said, ‘Well of course. You are a survivor.’ If no, we would perhaps have talked; thought how to disapprove or abrogate her hysterical responsibilities. How I might be accomplice…
Either way, I would have cleared the room of all those men.
I was a spectacle, a fine thing, under hypnosis. I convulsed, I calmed, rattled and shook at each cue…In years to come, what will they think of this? Am I a gimcrack show; a performer? What then, will they know about the workings of our minds and bodies?
…Everything else is the narrative you made for me and not my own legend. The one you accepted for me, not I.

Russ Hodges's frantic pronouncement at Bobby Thomson's "Shot Heard 'Round the World": "The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant!" and Jack Buck's incredulous remark after Kirk Gibson's heroic home run in the 1988 World Series: "I don't believe what I just saw!" are just a couple examples. The sometimes downright hysterical commentaries of broadcasters very often become more memorable than even the games they describe. Though countless studies have weighed the merits of our great players, none has assessed the virtues of the men who turn diving catches and soaring home runs into the stuff of myth. In The Voices of Summer, Curt Smith has compiled a list of 101 classic announcersfrom national celebrities to local favorites, overlooked giants to upcoming starsin search of the greatest baseball broadcaster of all time. From the poetic reflections of Dick Enberg to the Falstaffian frenzy of Harry Caray, Smith answers the timeless questions: Was Mel Allen better than Ernie Harwell? Does Joe Buck compare to his legendary dad? Which of today's young broadcasters really matches the all-time greats? Irreverent, authoritative, and uncommonly addictive, this book will be the definitive guide to baseball announcing for any and all baseball fans.

One of our most favorite activities at the Walt Disney World Resort is hunting for Hidden Mickeys. We love the challenge of being the first to spot that elusive Mickey that the imagineers so cleverly hid. And they are everywhere; in the parks, at the resort hotels, in the restaurants.
According to the Hidden Mickey Guy, Steven Barrett, “the definition of an official Hidden Mickey (is): a partial or complete impression of Mickey Mouse placed by the Imagineers and artists to blend into the designs of Disney attractions, hotels, restaurants, and other areas.”
We have an upcoming #DisneySide @Home Celebration. What a better way to bring home some of the Disney Magic, than by hiding Mickey’s around the house! Here is a copy of the hunt sheet that I created:
We are really looking forward to showing our #DisneySide!

Clarkston’s police director sworn in; police chief asked him to turn in his badge, gun and vehicleClarkston Director of Police Services John Pearson takes notes during the town hall at the Clarkston Community Center on Thursday, July 27, 2023. To Pearson’s left are Clarkston Police Chief Christine Hudson and her attorney Ed Buckley. Photo by Dean Hesse.
This story has been updated.
Clarkston, GA — Earlier this month, Clarkston City Manager Shawanna Qawiy demoted Police Chief Christine Hudson and hired John Pearson as the city’s director of police services.
There’s a problem, however. Pearson was never sworn in as a city officer and wasn’t on the city’s payroll, but was still issued a badge, gun, and city police vehicle, according to Hudson’s attorney, Ed Buckley.
On July 27, Hudson asked Pearson to turn in his gun, badge, and vehicle until he’s an employee of the city, Buckley confirmed. Initially, Pearson said that he was operating on a “verbal agreement” with the city manager and would be sworn in Aug. 1.
But on July 27, the same day Hudson asked him to turn in his city-issued equipment, Pearson was sworn in, according to Buckley.
“Until today, Mr. Pearson was not a sworn officer and, to our knowledge, has no contract authorizing him to be on the City of Clarkston payroll. Yet, he has been issued a badge and a gun and a city vehicle,” Buckley said.
Clarkston City Councilmembers did not immediately return a message seeking comment about the situation.
The news comes ahead of a town hall meeting planned to hear residents’ concerns about the police department, which is in freefall as officers leave for better pay and a less toxic working environment, and about the city manager, who is accused of creating that toxic working environment. She is also facing allegations from City Finance Director Dan Defnall that she has given him questionable payment requests, including requests involving Vice Mayor Debra Johnson. City Councilmember Laura Hopkins believes there are at least four contracts that would be considered void, according to an analysis by the city attorney: Pearson’s contract, a contract for a human resources consultant, a contract for a public relations firm, and a contract for the cameras.
Buckley questioned whether Qawiy had the authority to hire Pearson without the council’s explicit approval.
“It remains to be seen under what authority the city manager has appointed him,” Buckley said. “The city of Clarkston does not give her authority to appoint new department heads, only to supervise those that exist.”
Buckley added, “It is unclear, at this point in time, whether she had the authority to appoint a new department head and where that authority came from, although it does not appear that it was voted on or approved by the city council.”
The grievance came after Qawiy suspended Hudson without pay, accusing her of insubordination and “conduct unbecoming a city employee,” among other allegations.
Hudson also filed a discrimination complaint with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. Qawiy denied that racial bias played any role in her decisions.
Decaturish has sent a reporter and photographer to the July 27 town hall meeting and will provide coverage of the event.
Here is the full statement from Hudson’s attorney:
Recently, John Pearson was appointed to head the City of Clarkston Police Department. It remains to be seen under what authority the City Manager has appointed him. The City of Clarkston does not give her authority to appoint new department heads, only to supervise those that exist. Specifically, it reads: “ The chief of police, finance officer, and director of public works shall be considered “department heads” for the purpose of administering city government.” It does not authorize the city manager to create new department heads. It is unclear, at this point in time, whether she had authority to appoint a new department head and where that authority came from, although it does not appear that it was voted on or approved by the city council. When Mr. Pearson was introduced to Chief Hudson, he informed her that he was her “boss.” Chief Hudson viewed this as a demotion, as she was no longer the head of the City of Clarkston Police Department. Until today, Mr. Pearson was not a sworn officer and, to our knowledge, has no contract authorizing him to be on the City of Clarkston payroll. Yet, he has been issued a badge and a gun, and a city vehicle. On July 25, 2023, Mr. Pearson issued a press release in which he informed the public that he had been appointed to this position, but was not sworn in. He also informed the public that he would not be sworn in until August 1. Based on the ambiguity of his position and the authority for it, Chief Hudson has asked him to relinquish his gun, badge, and vehicle until he is an employee of the city.

Gov. Bill Haslam is traveling the state this week, officially announcing his new “Healthier Tennessee” initiative, approved by the Legislature in the past session. In timing, it seems appropriate since the Centers for Disease Control this week announced the first evidence of a decline in childhood obesity nationwide – though the child obesity rate actually increased in three states, including Tennessee.
Here’s the AP brief on Haslam’s announcement in Memphis Tuesday and, below that, the national story on childhood obesity rates.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Gov. Bill Haslam has announced a new statewide health and wellness initiative.
Haslam visited the Church Health Center Memphis on Tuesday to launch the “Healthier Tennessee” program.
Haslam said the initiative will encourage residents to be more physically active and eat nutritious foods like fruits and vegetables. The program also asks people to stop using tobacco, or never start.
Haslam noted Tennessee is one of the least healthy states, with high rates of high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes and heart disease.
The initiative will bring together employers, health care providers, health insurance companies, schools and community organizations to promote healthier behaviors.
The Governor’s Foundation for Health and Wellness, based in Nashville, will direct the initiative.
Haslam plans stops in Chattanooga, Knoxville, Kingsport and Nashville this week to promote the program.

1. Coat the slow cooker with nonstick cooking spray.
2. In a bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa, sugar, baking powder and salt. Add the milk, melted butter and vanilla, stirring until well blended and the batter is smooth. Spread evenly in the crock.
3. Make the topping by combining those ingredients in another bowl and whisking until smooth. Carefully pour over the batter in the crock. Do not stir.
4. Cover and cook on high until top layer is set, about 2 hours.
5. When finished, turn off the slow cooker and let stand covered for at least 30 minutes before serving.
This recipe looks odd when placed in the crock because so much liquid is on top. During the cooking process, the liquid will be absorbed to the bottom, creating a layer of pudding.
TEST KITCHEN TIP: Excellent with vanilla ice cream!

If you’re scrolling on Netflix, maybe you find yourself being pulled to the horror section. You might already be a little scared, but you’re determined to watch a scary movie that doesn’t have 10 more coming after it. If it seems like you’ve watched all the horror movies that graced movie theatres at one point, you should look at Netflix originals. When streaming services make their own movies, they aren’t always the best, but there are a few great ones among them. Here are 11 original horror movies on Netflix that you should watch.
Table Of Content
Rats. Lots and lots of rats. Stephen King’s novella 1922 was adapted into a movie in 2017 and received a steady reception for its take on the book. In 1922, a man does something extreme because he doesn’t agree with his wife’s plan to move. Instead of making a deal with her, he asks his son to help him kill her. After the deed is done, rats start to fill the home and tear it apart. The son, Henry, leaves with his girlfriend, leaving his father alone in a house that is falling apart fast. You’ll enjoy the end as justice is rightfully served to all members of the movie.
There are times in the horror movie genre where the audience is watching and shouting to the characters, “Don’t do it!” It’s a universal experience when watching a thriller or horror movie — that feeling of dread as you watch the characters do something incredibly stupid. You’ll experience that in Calibre, when the characters shoot a young boy and then his father, and then instead of going for help, they bury the bodies without telling anyone, hoping to just forget about the situation and move on with their lives. Obviously, this doesn’t happen. It feels like a real situation as the characters struggle with the right thing to do and also reap the consequences.
The movie Cam was based on the writer’s time as a cam girl, which might make you scratch your head if you’ve seen the movie. Cam follows a woman named Alice, who’s a cam girl on a popular site and longs to be the number one streamer that the company has, doing intense things to gain viewers and fans. She even fakes her own death to make people’s dreams come true. One day, she realises that there’s a cam girl that looks just like her and is using her exact name while she streams, meaning that she has a doppelganger. Cam is paced in a really great way and will have you trying to figure out what’s really going on as the film progresses.
Gerald’s Game (2017)
Gerald’s Game, based on the Stephen King novel of the same name, will truly take you on a wild ride. When a couple heads to a remote cabin, they decide to try something new in the bedroom to spice it up. When everything goes wrong and Gerald dies on top of his wife, she is handcuffed to the bed. Terrible things happen to her while she’s trapped, and you’ll feel real terror when you realise the front door is still open! Also, if you don’t like body horror, the scene where she slides her hand out of the cuff will surely make you sick.
His House (2020)
His House is a slow-burning psychological thriller that doesn’t use gore but instead builds up tense scenes that will give you a nice startle. The movie is about a couple from South Sudan who move to Britain. When they get there, they are mistreated by their neighbours and other people. Not only that, but the couple quickly comes to realise that their home is inhabited by a night witch, that creates a monster that lives in the walls, and creates warped memories and dangerous scenes that the couple is put through. As the movie’s ending plays out, the plot twist will make it worth watching, and you’ll be more confused than ever as the credits roll.
Hush, starring Kate Siegel, is a downright masterpiece. It’s a home invasion story with a twist that’s new, so it doesn’t appear like any other thriller you might have watched before. Our main character lives in an extremely secluded house in the middle of the woods, and when a masked assailant enters her home, she’s not aware of it right away because she’s deaf. There are plenty of heart-stopping scenes, and one incredibly gruesome moment that will sell you on this movie.
May The Devil Take You (2018)
A good old-fashioned supernatural flick that will give you goosebumps and might encourage you to leave the light on before bed. May the Devil Take You is an Indonesian horror movie that shows what happens when people mess with a satanic ritual to get something for themselves. A powerful supernatural presence is released and attacks several members of a family, which in return reveals heavy secrets and earth-shattering revelations. Plus, if you enjoy a good scare about dolls and possession, give this movie a try.
The Babysitter (2017)
At first glance, The Babysitter might seem like a cheesy horror movie that capitalises on its recognisable cast. And it is exactly that, which is also why it’s so good. It leans into the tropes that we constantly see in horror films; the characters playing distinct roles and tropes that are familiar to us. For example, a jock who can’t seem to die, a “token” black character, a girl who is too sexualized, and a virgin who is killed. This movie works because it looks like a joke about horror movies, but it is still original and interesting in its own way.
The Perfection (2018)
The Perfection is a good choice if you want to watch a scary movie that will make you feel a little sick. From the gore to the content of the plot, this movie will have you hooked the entire time you watch it, with the twists keeping you engaged and on the edge of your seat. Alison Brie and Logan Browning star in this masterful thriller about how abuse and power games affect people. Both characters are violinists, and they both learn from a man named Anton who abused them as children. The story will immediately entice you, and the scene where one of the characters loses a hand will gross you out.
The Ritual (2017)
The Ritual is one of those cult/witchcraft films where, after the movie is over, all you can really do is stare at the wall and think about all you just witnessed. The film follows a group of friends who travel to Sweden after one of their longtime friends is murdered one night at a corner store. They take the trip to commemorate the loss and honour him as well. While trekking through the woods, strange things start to happen, and one by one, they start to get picked off. The only survivor meets the Norse god Loki, and as his true form is revealed, all you can do is watch in horror.
There’s Someone Inside Your House (2021)
It’s not uncommon for slashers to be centred around high school because, for some reason, the motive is always better. There’s Someone Inside Your House is a slightly cheesy slasher movie, but it does a lot of things right when appealing to its sub-genre of horror. A masked killer, a revenge plot line, and an Achilles tendon scene that will give you a full-body shudder. Maybe the killer’s identity is a bit obvious, and maybe the jump scares are a bit blasé, but it’s still worth watching and an enjoyable hour and a half.

Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick backs legislation calling for massive mobilization on climate change
Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick has signed on as a co-sponsor of legislation recognizing climate change as an “emergency which demands a massive-scale mobilization to halt, reverse, and address its consequences and causes.”
In a written statement to The Arizona Republic, Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., wrote that she decided to co-sponsor the “emergency declaration” after meeting with community leaders and environmental groups, and “seeing the Trump administration’s disregard for healthy necessary climate policy.”
“This resolution highlights the need for our economy to accommodate new green jobs and infrastructure, as well as prioritize public health and safety,” Kirkpatrick wrote.
The House resolution unequivocally recognizes the role humans have played in causing climate change and lays out scientific findings indicating climate change poses a threat to public health, national security and the economy.
It’s a national obligation, the resolution says, for the federal government to “mobilize at an emergency speed,” working with state and local governments, as well as other countries, to reverse the impacts of the climate crisis by phasing out the use of oil, gas, and coal.
“Failure to mobilize and solve the climate emergency is antithetical to the spirit of the Declaration of Independence in protecting ‘unalienable Rights’ that include ‘Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness,’” the resolution states.
Kirkpatrick said the issue is a pressing one for her congressional district, located in the southeastern corner of the state.
“Arizona will suffer more than most of the country and we are already experiencing the dramatic rises in heat and humidity, more wildfires, and less water,” Kirkpatrick wrote in her statement. “Southern Arizonans recognize this as a real emergency and they want to hear solutions.”
Kirkpatrick signed on as co-sponsor of the resolution, introduced in early July, on Aug. 16.
Other co-sponsors include Rep. Raúl Grijalva, D-Ariz., and members of the progressive “squad” of freshman congresswomen, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., who earlier this year unveiled a sweeping proposal to address climate change called the Green New Deal.
Though Kirkpatrick has recently called climate change the “biggest existential threat to the planet” and called for Arizona to phase out fossil fuels in favor of renewable energy sources, she voted against the 2009 House energy bill aimed at fighting climate change.
Elements of the climate resolution, which doesn’t have a single Republican co-sponsor, tread further left on the issue than Kirkpatrick has gone in the past.
The resolution recognizes that traditionally marginalized communities are disproportionately impacted by climate change and states that a zero-emissions economy “guarantees good jobs at fair union wages.”
Kirkpatrick’s district, which includes Cochise County and part of Pima County, has a centrist complexion and in recent years has changed from red to blue and back again.
In 2018, Kirkpatrick beat out Republican opponent Lea Marquez Peterson by nearly 10 percentage points. The seat was previously occupied by now-Sen. Martha McSally, R-Ariz, but it was also one of 25 Republican-held districts won by Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.
In her statement, Kirkpatrick wrote that climate change is “not a republican or democrat issue.”
“This is an everybody issue,” she wrote. “This is no longer a looming threat for debate, it’s here. Climate change is happening and not only do we need common sense solutions and immediate action — we need all our elected leaders to acknowledge it.”

Continuing its probe into the Punjab & Maharashtra Cooperative (PMC) Bank Ltd scam, the Enforcement Directorate on Friday seized Rs 73 lakh after raiding five premises belonging to the Viva Group and its associates in Mumbai and Palghar, officials said here on Friday.
These included the Viva Group’s offices in Andheri and Virar (Palghar), besides residences of its top officials in Andheri, Juhu and Chembur (Mumbai), leading to the seizure of the cash and other incriminating documents.
Raids were conducted at three premises linked to the Viva Groups’ head, Mehul Thakur, and three premises connected with chartered accountants/financial consultants.
The ED action followed leads that a large amount of money had allegedly been transferred from HDIL to companies and trusts of the Viva Group, which is controlled by the prominent Thakur clan of Virar in Palghar.
Nearly two years ago, the ED had launched a probe against HDIL promoters Rakesh Wadhawan and Sarang Wadhawan, PMC Bank’s former Chairman Waryam Singh and MD Joy Thomas, and others after the PMC Bank scam broke out in September 2019.
The ED entered the picture after the Mumbai Police’s Economic Offences Wing lodged an FIR against the HDIL and Wadhawans, for causing losses of Rs 4,355 crore to the PMC Bank.
Later, several properties of Rakesh Wadhawan and the Wadhawan Family Trust, worth around Rs 293 crore, and jewellery worth Rs 63 crore were seized and attached, and proceedings were launched under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) by the ED.
Further investigations revealed that the Wadhawans and the Viva Group connived to divert over Rs 160 crore from HDIL to many companies of the latter (Viva Group) disguised as ‘commission’, though the funds were apparently illegal diversions from the PMC Bank.
Simultaneously, the ED started probing another case against Rakesh Wadhawan and Sarang Wadhawan for siphoning off Rs 200 crore sanctioned by Yes Bank to the Mack Star Marketing Pvt. Ltd., by allegedly showing some fictitious purposes.
In this matter, even the Central Bureau of Investigations had initiated a probe which found that the Wadhawans illegally transferred two commercial properties of the Mack Star Marketing in Caledonia Building in Andheri East worth Rs 34.36 crore to Viva Holdings, an entity of Viva Group.
For the transfer of these two properties, separate sale agreements dated June 26, 2017 were drawn up in which the sale values for the two deals were shown as Rs 34.36 crore in total.
As per the sale agreements, the amount was paid through 37 cheques by Viva Holdings to Mack Star Marketing for the deal, but investigations revealed that these cheques were never encashed, pointing out that Viva Holdings never paid for buying the properties to Mack Star Marketing.
Accordingly, the ED said that the Wadhawans had illegally transferred these properties to Viva Holdings, violating the articles of association with Mack Star Marketing, and that Viva Holdings never showed these properties in its books.

Ok for this you will need any sized box with lid (2Euro shop has 3 boxes for 2 euro), paint, paper, ribbon and a few embelishemnts for decorating.
Remove the lid and cut a square out from the centre. Depending on the size of the box, I left a good 1 inch around the edge. Paint the lid inside and out with emulsion or acrylic piant matching your paper.
Paint your box, inside and outside, including the underneath. Leave the paint to dry in between layers.
Using the section of the lid you cut out, glue it down to a larger piece of card making sure it is no bigger than your lid, I used the back of an A4 pad but any hard card will do.
Cover both sides of this square in your patterned paper.
Cut 2 to 4 lenghts (again depending on the size of the box) of your patterned paper no higher than the height of your box. If you like you can ink the edges of the paper. Glue these to the side of your box
When the lid is dry, adhere a good few foam pads (or folded pieces of card as I did) to the corners of the inside of your lid, and glue down your sqaure insert to these foam pads (or folded pieces of card). The idea is to give the impression that the lid is slightly recessed.
Turn the lid over and decorate with your favourite embelishments. I used some ribbon, feather, paper flower, chipboard letters and a little journalling.

Wildtype food for thought #5
Winter edition part 5 of 5: harnessing food trends
Public discourse about cell-based meat is now a nearly daily phenomenon. At the same time, a lively discussion is underway concerning trends that are transforming nearly everything about how we eat. What we haven’t seen, however, is a discussion of cell-cultured meat and fish within the context of the transformations underway in our food system. For example, what does the rise in popularity of organic, natural, and clean-label foods mean for cell-based meat and fish production? How can these new technologies address a growing demand for transparency and traceability in our food supply? We take up these questions and more in this post.
One of the most important changes to how we make food has been the renaissance of plant-based foods. The emergence of brands such as Ripple, Beyond Meat, and Impossible Foods has delivered tasty new choices to consumers who are increasingly asking for alternatives to animal-derived meat, dairy, and fish. The appeal of these products is driven by a desire for healthy and sustainable foods — a trend which we believe will only continue to accelerate.
Robotics and automation transformed the manufacturing sector more than thirty years ago. However, we’re only now seeing a similar revolution in food preparation and automation. You may have heard of Creator, a hamburger flipping robot, or Zume, which is automating pizza production and delivery. Similar transformations are underway in ingredient sorting, blending, processing, and packaging.
Cell culture has historically been a highly labor-intensive process. In most academic labs today, it’s not uncommon to see graduate students pipetting their youth away in tissue culture hoods. While automation is beginning to find its way into cell culture, there are significant opportunities for those of us in the cell-based meat field to design highly automated processes, which will not only help to lower prices, but will also ensure consistent product quality. Put differently, we should not design production processes using 20th century technology.
Despite the obvious nature of this statement, many of the conversations we’ve heard over the past two years involve some version of applying existing cell culture technology to the production of food. While this is a helpful starting point, might we benefit from blowing up at least some established cell culture dogma and beginning anew?
With respect to where we buy food, there are two significant trends that threaten to disintermediate the grocery store as the main hub for our food purchases. First, innovations such as vertical farming are making it possible to envision urban gardens that provide a significant share of our fruits and vegetables in cities.
Second, delivery services like Postmates and Amazon Fresh are making it easier than ever to avoid lugging shopping bags back from the grocery store. Meal preparation services like Purple Carrot and Blue Apron further erode the monopoly of our local grocery store.
Although grocery stores will not lose their primacy overnight, it does beg the question of whether those of us in the cell-based meat industry are spending enough time building partnerships with the likes of Postmates rather than Kroger. Additionally, cell-cultured meat and fish may help these companies continue to reduce the friction involved with purchasing and delivering food. For example, lighter packaging and ice-free shipping could make drone-delivered fresh salmon a reality.
How we choose food is changing as well. We have seen a dramatic increase in the popularity of terms like organic, clean label, local sourcing, and natural eating. Health considerations have also led to the emergence of highly customized diets that match food to specific health and dietary objectives.
For those of us in the cell-based meat field, we must consider how our production processes will enable us to satisfy these demands. For example, how might we design our cell nutrients to be fully organic in the same way that farmers feed their animals organic grain and vegetables? What would it take for a cell-cultured fish product to be considered ‘clean label?’ While questions of labeling will be guided by regulatory requirements, cultured meat companies should also consider how upstream design considerations affect downstream product descriptions.
Finally, how we monitor food is in the early stages of a profound transformation. Foodborne illness outbreaks both severe (avian flu) and commonplace (E. coli) have created demand for transparency into our food supply chains. Several companies are now trying to introduce blockchain as a solution. For example, Walmart recently announced that it would require its leafy green suppliers to use blockchain technology for tracking purposes. Additionally, several early-stage companies are pioneering advanced forms of spoilage detection.
Initially, cell-based meat providers will be able to provide exquisite traceability given the vertically integrated nature of production. As our field matures and more specialized players emerge, it will become increasingly important to consider how we might use technology to provide transparency and accountability in the supply chain.
Thinking critically about these and other food trends is important for those of us building new technologies for fish and meat production. If we’re not building a product that is consistent with evolving tastes and values, we risk building a product that no one will buy.
This concludes our winter food for thought series. We would welcome your feedback on these posts. Whether you agree, disagree, or would simply like to say hello, please reach out on Twitter or by emailing us. If you missed our previous posts, you can find them linked below.

Dendritic cells (DC) are potent inducers of acquired immunity due to their ability to present antigens in the context of a costimulatory environment and consequently serve an essential role in vaccine efficacy. Strategies to enhance their function, such as granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) and IL-4 treatment to induce DC differentiation from peripheral blood monocytes, may therefore be useful as vaccine adjuvants. We now have evaluated the effect of recombinant GM-CSF on the differentiation of DC in swine. GM-CSF mRNA was readily detected in porcine splenocytes, with increased levels following treatment of the cells with ConA and LPS. Porcine GM-CSF was cloned and expressed in the methylotrophic yeast, Pichia pastoris, as a glycosylated protein that induced proliferation of porcine bone marrow cells. P. pastoris-derived GM-CSF induced expression of antigen presenting (MHC class II) and costimulatory (CD80-CD86) molecules and enhanced antigen presenting cell (APC) function consistent with the induction of functional DC. Thus, recombinant GM-CSF produced by P. pastoris may be a potent adjuvant for swine vaccines.
