Latest Groupalia News
Oct 22, 2021
Jaguar Ventures , a Mexican fund investing in early-stage startups, is now Wollef and is launching its third fund with a target of raising $100 million before the first quarter of 2022. The firm got started back in 2013 when Eric Pérez-Grovas, who launched the Mercado Libre Mexico operations, joined with Cristóbal Perdomo, a serial founder of companies like Groupalia, which was sold to the Brazilian Peixe Urbano. Since then, the company has invested in 31 companies, including unicorns Kavak, Konfío, Loft and Nubank. Its first fund raised $9.3 million in 2014, followed by a second fund of $22 million. Though 10 of the companies are in Mexico, another 19 are foreign companies that see Mexico as a key market, Pérez-Grovas told TechCrunch. Initially, the pair chose “jaguar” for its name because it was distinctive at the time, was an animal present in the Americas, where the firm invested and was an aggressive animal which spoke to the way they liked to invest. Unfortunately, several other entities emerged with “jaguar” in their name, and it caused some confusion, Pérez-Grovas added. “We wanted to choose another name that was unique, and Cristóbal pointed out that we chose the wrong animal,” he said. “He said we should have chosen the wolf instead because though it is a hunter, it travels in a pack and the ‘alpha’ can be female or male. Wollef fits better and aligns with our vision of working as a team with the entrepreneur.” Pérez-Grovas and Perdomo say the Latin American startup ecosystem is booming, noting data from the Latin American Venture Capital Association that showed venture capital in the first half of 2021 hit $6 billion dollars, up from the $4.8 billion that was invested in 2020. This boom became beneficial to Wollef, which has had an easier time attracting limited partners into its latest fund. Perdomo explained that when they were raising in 2013, maybe 10 people out of 100 family offices and businesses in Mexico they called would take a meeting. That grew to half taking a meeting in 2019 for the second fund, but still only 10% of LPs got in. Now, the firm is on the receiving end of the calls, especially organizations from the U.S. that want to get involved in Latin America. The new fund will be similar to the previous ones that have been agnostic to the sector, though much of Wollef’s portfolio comprises fintech, marketplaces and e-commerce companies, they said. The firm is looking to invest in another 20 to 25 new companies, and Pérez-Grovas and Perdomo say they are eager to be able to write the larger checks this time around than with their previous funds. They expect to put in first checks between $500,000 and $1 million. One of the unique aspects between them and other firms is that Wollef does not share information on companies with anyone. Pérez-Grovas explained that other firms in the country don’t see investments as financial returns, but instead as a way of gathering information. “They may not have been successful, so they are using firms now for information,” he added. “We are helping startups for financial returns. That is also what we love about U.S. investors, they are looking for that, too.”

Keto Krispy Kreme Donuts
Fried keto donuts with a tender cake like center
Tasting just like a Krispy Kreme donut, these glazed keto donuts are cake based, fried and coated with a sweet vanilla glaze.
This is the BEST recipe for keto donuts. I’ve tried many low carb donut recipes but this is by far the recipe that tastes the closest to an actual donut. These glazed keto donuts are perfect in the morning paired with a cup of coffee.
The dough for these almond flour donuts involves simple ingredients to yield a tender, cake like texture. Frying them gives them a crispy crust similar to an actual yeast based donut. However, you can bake these donuts in the oven. It’s a sweet way to start off your morning.
The glaze on these low carb donuts is sugar-free and is very similar to the same glaze you would see on a Krispy Kreme donut. But if you are more of a chocolate glazed donut like Homer Simpson, then coated in a sugar free chocolate glaze. Both are easy recipes to make so can easily satisfy your donut cravings!
How to make keto donuts
- Whisk together dry ingredients – almond flour, protein powder, sugar free sweetener (like monk fruit or erythritol), baking powder, xanthan gum and salt.
- Mix in remaining ingredients – melted butter, sour cream and hot water.
- Mold into a donut shape or press into a donut pan.
- Fry in lard or avocado oil until golden brown or bake in the oven.
- Make sugar free Krispy Kreme glaze, chocolate glaze or cinnamon sugar powder and dip or dust your keto donuts.
Loving keto pastries?? Try making keto cinnamon rolls or low carb apple fritters.
Key ingredients & substitutions
For this recipe, I like using the combination of almond flour and protein powder. It produces a texture and flavor closest to a traditional cake donut. However, I understand some don’t have access to the ingredients required or may be allergic to nuts. Here are some ingredient substitutions you can make for this recipe:
- Almond flour – The keto flour to give our low carb donuts substance. Coconut flour could be used instead; however, you will need to decrease the amount used. Use 2/3 cups coconut flour as a substitute. Sunflower seed flour can also be used if allergic to nuts. Sunflower seed flour measures cup for cup with almond flour so you will add the same amount in this recipe.
- Protein powder – Works to for a protein matrix and works similar to gluten in all-purpose flour. Will form a spongy texture in this keto donuts recipe. Look for low carb or zero carb protein powder. Unflavored or vanilla flavor.
- Sugar free sweetener – Can use monk fruit/erythritol blend like Stevia, Lakanto or even Truvia Sweet Complete. Any will work as long as it measures cup for cup with sugar.
- Xanthan gum – Since this donut recipe is egg-free, we use xanthan gum as a “glue” to hold the donut together as it bakes or fries. Don’t want to use xanthan gum? You can add an whole egg. Just omit the hot water as well.
- Melted butter – Gives flavor; however melted coconut oil can be used if dairy free.
- Sour cream – Provides that slight tangy flavor that is iconic in traditional cake donuts.

With 100s of videos and millions of views, Ketofocus is one of the most popular Keto channels on YouTube.
Keto Cake Donuts Ingredients
- 2 cup almond flour
- 1/2 c unflavored or vanilla protein powder
- 2 tablespoons monkfruit sweetener or sweetener of choice
- 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 teaspoon xanthan gum
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup hot water
- lard, for frying or avocado oil
Krispy Kreme Glaze Ingredients
- 1/2 cup confectioners Swerve or use sweetener of choice
- 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Keto Krispy Kreme Donuts Directions
Get a medium bowl
Add the almond flour, protein powder, sugar free sweetener, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt to a medium bowl. Mix until combined.
Stir in melted butter, sour cream and hot water.
Shape the dough
Grab a handful of dough and roll it into a short snake shape. Mold the ends together to form a donut shape. Wet hands with a little bit of water or spray oil on your hands to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.
Heat the lard
Add lard to a small non-stick skillet and heat to low - medium heat. Add enough lard to cover the donut almost halfway. Add a couple of donuts to the skillet and fry on each side until golden brown. Can swirl the oil in the pan to help coat the donuts as they cook. DO NOT get your oil too hot - it will cause your donuts to crumble.
Remove from skillet and place on a wire rack to cool.
To make the Krispy Kreme glaze, add confectioner's Swerve, heavy cream and vanilla to a small bowl. Mix to combine. Microwave for 20 seconds to get a thin consistency.
Dip the top of your donut into the glaze and place on a wire rack to set.
I was SO excited to try this recipe and followed it to a T. Unfortunately, my dough was super soft and didn’t cook on the inside by either frying in lard, or by baking in the oven. After the lard failed, I tried the oven and baked for 10 minutes. Nothing. I added 6 minutes. Nothing. I added an additional 10 minutes and the outside browned but the inside was raw. I had thermostats in my oven, so I know it wasn’t my oven temperature that failed. Do you have any suggestions as to what might have gone wrong? I’m a long-time baker who regularly tries new recipes. What might have gone wrong?
I’m sorry you are having trouble with this recipe. Maybe the donut is too big or thick? These donuts do continue to cook and solidify after they sit and cool for a while. By the next day, they should be set.
JP Momma, you could have had your oil at too high of a temp, I am also a passionate cook and I have found when something turns golden but still uncooked in the middle, the oil needs to be turned down. I am trying these tonight and I will let you know how I do. Oh yes, your living location (altitude) plays a big part. Hope this helps.
I did them this morning, they turned out fabulous!!! I used a fry daddy and wow, I will never want a carb loaded one again. This tops them all! Here’s a picture f the finished product:
Thank you for this delight! Just made my keto journey much easier!!!!??????
Wow..your doughnuts look amazing. Did you follow the recipe exactly? I am curious about what protein powder you used. I grew up making the fried cake doughnuts so I am very very interested in making these since I am a keto gal now.
I don’t know what went wrong. I followed the directions, using the coconut flour because I didn’t have protein powder. It stayed crumbly and fell apart when I tried rolling it and forming a ring. I even added more water and it didn’t work. I have the worst luck with coconut flour, lol.
Sorry about that. I haven’t heard that happening before. It’s almost like it needed more fat.
Cool, there are no eggs so this recipe can be easily scaled to make fewer than 8 donuts! Saving them for weekend treats, I’m not sure they would keep long enough to eat them all. I can hardly wait to make them.
Sounds wonderful. Why only post NET CARBS?
Could you please start posting the TOTAL CARB count for those of us that count total carbs?
Yes, I am working on this. Total carbs for one donut is 7.3 g
These are amazing. My batter/dough was the perfect consistency to fill a piping bag and pipe to fill a 7 donut mould tray then baked for 14mins. Perfect. Also love that they don’t contain eggs.
This was AMAZING!!!!!! This recipe was exactly what I was looking for!!!!!
I divided each ingredient by 4 and it yielded 2 donuts. I used why isolated protein and air fryer.
I loved the moist, buttery texture and my sour cream donuts craving were instantly fulfilled without any guilty!!!!!!!!!
I usually don’t comment on anything, but I just wanted to show how much I appreciate you, Annie! This is super easy, quick, healthy, just perfect recipe!
How long did you air fry and did you turn them?
The taste of the one that didn’t burn was good, the donuts were quite oily. My oil was too hot at the beginning. I started frying them at 180°F but they got burned within a minute. I know you said to fry on medium heat but what temperature should the oil be at when using a cooking thermometer?
Thanks for sharing your recipes!
I don’t know the exact temperature. Just like with anything that you fry, the first donut is usually a test to see how hot the oil is. If it looks like it starts to burn, then turn it down.
I made these subbing coconut flour for the protein powder and Ratio keto yogurt for the sour cream. I found the dough was too dry to roll to make loops. Made tasty donut holes though. I did it a second time and increased the yogurt slightly and added a t of vanilla to the dough. Still too crumbly to roll. I suspect the coconut flour simply sucks uo way more moisture than the protein powder. Flavors great thought! I dipped the holes in the icing and rolled in unsweetened coconut. My wife and I had them for snacks every evening. Im going to keep playing with the fat and liquid with coconut flour until I can roll donuts. Im going to use sour cream next time.
These donuts were phenomenal!! They were so easy to make and tastes amazing! The entire family loved them, including my non keto 16 year old son. These will forever be my go to donut recipe. Here’s the finished product. I actually baked them in a donut pan for 15 mins and also deep fried them in lard for a few seconds to get a little deep fried crispness. I used Lily’s white choc chips and added a little maple extract to it before dipping them into the icing . I added some pecans and cinnamon sprinkle to some , used some sugar free sprinkles on a few and then switched it up to Lily’s milk choc chips for the rest. https://photos.app.goo.gl/6km5f5wAerKZYBRw5.
These look SO amazing, I definitely have to try them! I was just wondering, is there a different oil that works well for frying these donuts?
You can use anything that has a high smoke point – avocado oil would work too
Thank you very good. I even added apple cider flavoring seasonings too a few so delicious especial when it cooled!!!!
I have made these many times, and even shared the recipe with my brother and sister-in-law who are doing keto. We eat them almost every week. I have perfected the recipe with other add ins, like ooo donut flavor extract and a dash of nutmeg. I also use egg white protein powder instead of whey protein powder. My relatives have offered to pay me to continue to make these for them.
However, if I wanted to make these pumpkin flavored, how would you recommend adding a little pumpkin purée? And would that change any of their other liquid ingredients? I know you have a pumpkin donut recipe, but I want to stick with this base recipe because it works so well:)
THANK YOU!!!! I love recipes that are not just almond flour only. Almond flour only is just bleh.
I would omit the water and use 1/4 cup pumpkin instead. Maybe even drop the butter down to 1/3 cup and use 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
I clicked on the print, and it doesn’t work. I’d like to make these donuts.
Can someone send me the printable copy please.
If you are directed to the website from Facebook, it won’t let you print. It’s something Facebook blocks, you have to open the web page in a browser like crome or internet explorer.
Omg… im so angry at idk what! I followed every step to the tieee and the donuts dissolved in the pan when frying them. I used the exact same ingredients but idk what went wrong. I also felt the dough was a bit too sandy and hard to work with..
I’m sorry for your frustration. The problem your having is from the temperature of your oil. Your oil was too hot. It needs to be a medium heat, maybe even low medium depending on your source of heat. But if the dough dissolves, the oil is too hot. The dough is sticky, but shouldn’t be gritty unless your almond flour is too coarse. They fry into a perfect cake texture.
As good as any all purpose flour donut but I found it too crumbly I added an egg and that took care of it plus I made mine in a circle like a biscuit and stuck my finger in the middle and used my thumb and fingers to make hole worked great
Same thing happened to me, but I used almond flour. It just disengaged into crumbles when I fried it. Had to make the rest as donut balls in the oven.
When it happens, your oil is too hot. You must lower the temperature of the oil and let them cook longer.
Your oil is too hot. It will fall apart if your oil is too hot. Test a piece of dough in the oil before frying, if it starts to fall apart, lower the temperature of the oil.
Could these be made into chocolate donuts by using chocolate protein powder and maybe some cocoa powder?
Yes! I think that would work
First round, I fried the donut. It came out ok, but it absorbed too much oil.
Second round, baked them (325) for 11 minutes and then air fried them for 5 minutes (390.) Really good, almost perfect.
Tomorrow morning, I believe 10 minutes baked (325) and then 5 minutes in air fryer (390) will be perfect.
Thanks for the recipe.

M5K - Time 2 Jam EP
☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
When I met Micka, aka M5K, for the first time at the album release party, I asked if he’d ever been to Los Angeles. Surprisingly, he replied that he’d visited just once. You might assume he’s steeped in the Cali G-Funk scene with West Coast vibes resonating across the Pacific throughout his new Time 2 Jam EP. M5K is another fine example of the Melbourne Sound that’s so entrancing the way it blends synthy, groove-heavy electronic music with a blast of thumping funk-for-your-trunk bass.
This release is something more musical and compositional than most modern funk, even when
compared to more established names. Resuming where he left off on his previous Absolutely Real EP, this feels more refined, giving every track a natural progression that’s nuanced by these continuous build-ups and releases. Each song doesn’t just follow a simple formula ending up right where it started, instead taking you on an unmarked journey along a smooth, winding, oceanside road with the top down.
Spanning 25 minutes and 6 tracks, each written, performed, recorded and produced by the artist, it’s certified bangers start-to-finish. The vivid, low-fi album art, its perfect representation; hand-rendered Sharpie doodles, pixelated, as if to mirror the analogue synthesizer lines and drum machine hits programmed by hand before becoming digitized themselves.
The result is a retro-futuristic, colourful, instant classic that sounds like St Kilda Beach on a mid-summer’s arvo. For anyone who hasn’t been, you can substitute the feeling with Venice Beach or another bustling oceanside locale where the sun is shining and the beats are bumpin’.

At our Tallinn office (yes, that’s in Estonia, the land of Skype, Transferwise and Taxify, South from Finland and East from Sweden) we’re intimately familiar with the Great Winter Blues. It’s not hard to see why. Usually it does get cold and dark in October and that lasts till March if we’re lucky. As it means our energy levels are down, we’ve had to find ways how to beat it. Here are a few of ours:
1. Use a Sun/Energy Lamp
It’s dark when you leave for work and dark when you get home, so how are you going to get your daily dose of natural sunshine? And if you don’t think less sunlight during winter months can affect you, your mood, or your energy levels, think again. A decrease in sunlight can disrupt your body’s circadian rhythms, and cause a drop in serotonin levels and Vitamin D levels, which can lead to depressive symptoms.
If you have the flexibility and the weather allows for it, schedule in an early morning walk or lunchtime stroll. If you don’t, consider this option, which is especially beneficial for people with full-fledged seasonal depression: a full-spectrum light box. Light therapy can help regulate your body’s circadian rhythms and its natural release of the hormones that help you feel energised and the ones that help you sleep.
During light therapy, you sit or work near a device called a light therapy box. The box gives off bright light that mimics natural outdoor light.
Light therapy is thought to affect brain chemicals linked to mood and sleep, easing the Great Winter Blues symptoms. Using a light therapy box may also help with other types of depression, sleep disorders and other conditions. Light therapy is also known as bright light therapy or phototherapy.
We’ve used the Philips GoLite lamps for years and have to admit they do work very well. Use it at breakfast or even during the day and you’ll feel a lot better
2. Stay active
A 2005 study from Harvard University suggests walking fast for about 35 minutes a day five times a week or 60 minutes a day three times a week improved symptoms of mild to moderate depression. Exercising under bright lights may be even better for seasonal depression: A preliminary study found that exercise under bright light improved general mental health, social functioning, depressive symptoms, and vitality, while exercise in ordinary light improved vitality only.
If you’re not really an outside person or hate the gym then we’ve loved playing games of tennis at the office on our office Xbox with Kinect. Basically it simulates a full game of tennis by following your movements. Not only it’s a great and quick workout, it’s also good for team building and it’s super fun!
3. Keep warm
You know what makes the Great Winter Blues worse? Being cold. Getting the feeling of cold in your bones is something that is certain to bring you down. So, put more clothes on or the heating up and you’ll be sure to feel at least a bit better. Or drink a hot beverage, like hot chocolate, ginger tea or coffee.
4. Travel somewhere
Longing for sunnier days at the beach? Research shows that the simple act of planning a vacation causes a significant increase in overall happiness.
If you can afford it work and money-wise, then one option is also to go away one or a few times during the winter months to anywhere where it’s warmer. Or you can persuade your boss to take the whole office – you could work from Thailand, for example. Wouldn’t that be fun?
5. Organise a party
‘Tis the season to deck the halls and host a small seasonal party. And if it’s already after the holidays, any excuse to host a gathering of friends will do — try a dinner party, cheese tasting, or board game night. Planning an event will give you something to look forward to — and it could also put you on other people’s invite lists (more fun for you!).
Or you can have a spa-party, even with your friends. Where to get the products? Well.. Here’s the Gay Pack for you.
6. Queue Up a Stream of Laugh-Out-Loud Films
Experts believe that laughter actually stimulates processes in your brain that counter depressive symptoms. And since chuckling is downright contagious, you can invite a few pals over to share the popcorn. We’ve got just the list of series and films to watch!
7. Give yourself a gift
Trying new things, especially in the shape of gifts is a fab solution. If we may suggest anything then a Gay Pack with designer underwear + grooming products could be a fantastic idea. Plus, you can have it monthly if you’d like. Get one now!
8. Don’t Hesitate to See Your Healthcare Professional
Chronic pain, headaches, sleep disorders, and even heart disease are all linked to depression symptoms, so check in with your healthcare provider to make sure your winter blues aren’t something more serious.
9. Eat winter mood foods
If you have a slow cooker, winter is a great time to experiment with tasty mood-boosting soups and stews. Some great fall and winter ingredients to include are squash (a great source of magnesium and potassium), eggplant (which contains fibre, copper, vitamin B1, and manganese), sweet potatoes (full of pantothenic acid, vitamin B6, biotin, and anti-inflammatory flavonoids), and turmeric (which assists with immune-inflammatory or stress pathways and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis activity).
10. Simulate dawn
People with the Great Winter Blues, a form of depression that usually begins in late fall or early winter and fades as the weather improves, may feel depressed, irritable, lethargic, and have trouble waking up in the morning—especially when it’s still dark out. Studies show that a dawn simulator, a device that causes the lights in your bedroom to gradually brighten over a set period of time, can serve as an antidepressant and make it easier to get out of bed.

After years of strong client growth and employee hires, we’ve outgrown our current Tampa office space.
Over the past year, our team has looked throughout Tampa for LEVO Health’s new home. We had very specific requirements, from walkability to shops, restaurants, and housing to a modern enough space that could accommodate future expansion.
After an exhaustive search, we settled on the riverfront in Tampa Heights near downtown Tampa. The building is in one of the fastest-growing areas of Tampa Bay. The garden roof deck overlooks the Hillsborough River, Waterworks Park, Armature Works and a series of redeveloped and new buildings.
LEVO Health’s new office is eco-friendly and has contributed to urban renewal in one of Tampa’s designed community redevelopment areas. The LEED Gold-certified building features a green roof, solar panels, recycled materials and shading devices on the south side protecting the windows from direct sunlight.
We’re excited for the next chapter of LEVO Health. To learn more, please visit, levohealth.com.


Report: Over 100 St Kitts and Nevis passports seized by St Maarten immigration authorities
By Erasmus Williams
Basseterre, St Kitts, October 9, 2019 – A report Tuesday night that over 100 new St Kitts and Nevis passports were seized by the immigration authorities in Dutch St Maarten and returned to Basseterre.
Operation Rescue Dwyer Astaphan made the disclosure on Tuesday night during his weekly radio programme “The Operating Room” on WINNF FM.
He said 105 passports were sent to the Dominican Republic to persons who had never came to St Kitts and Nevis before.
“We are told that the flight or flights that these people were on passed through St Maarten where the passengers disembarked. The St Maarten officials we are told, found these people with the 105 brand new St Kitts and Nevis passports. Most or all of the passengers were unable to speak a word of English and we were told that the St Maarten authorities took possession of the passports and returned them to the Government in St Kitts,” Astaphan said.
“If this story is true. I have some questions. Who would have prepared these 105 passports? Where did they get the passports from? Who would have authorized, sent them to the Dominican Republic and to whom? Who would be the contacts in St Kitts and the Dominican Republic? How much money had to be paid for these passports transactions and paid to whom? What can the Immigration Department, the Ministry of National Security and the Prime Minister tell us to comfort us in the knowledge and confidence that this is not true or if it is true that remedial and investigative steps will be undertaken without delay,” said Astaphan.
There is concern that the unpopular and scandal-plagued government will try every trick in the book to steal the upcoming elections.

Josh Hamilton is out of the lineup tonight for the third straight game due to vision problems stemming from a sinus infection and the Rangers announced that he’ll miss the entire weekend series against the Mariners.
Hamilton left Tuesday’s game in the fourth inning, at which point a prominent Dallas columnist wrote a ridiculous article calling the former MVP soft and questioning his mental toughness. That looks even sillier now that Hamilton has been examined by doctors and continues to have vision problems.
It also opens the door for Miguel Cabrera to more easily pass Hamilton for the home run lead. Right now Hamilton leads the AL with 42 and Cabrera is right behind him with 41, and the Tigers third baseman leads the league in the other two triple crown categories.
Alex Rodriguez’s post-retirement renaissance continues apace. After starring as a studio host for Fox’s playoff coverage over the past couple of years, A-Rod is about to be named to, arguably, televised baseball’s top job: color commentary in ESPN’s Sunday Night Baseball booth.
Michael McCarthy of The Sporting News is hearing that ESPN is going to give the gig, vacated by Aaron Boone by virtue of his hiring by the Yankees, to Rodriguez. There he’ll join Jessica Mendoza and whoever they get to replace play-by-play man Dan Shulman, who chose to step back from the Sunday night job following last season. This, by the way, marks the second time A-Rod has taken over Aaron Boone’s job given that he replaced Boone at third base for the Yankees in 2004.
The twist: A-Rod is likely to keep his Fox postseason job too. While some broadcasters work for multiple networks, it’s pretty rare for Fox to allow its talents to work for competitors like that. Apparently they believe keeping A-Rod — who five years ago was one of the most despised figures in baseball — is worth it. What a difference a few years makes.
In other news, Alex Rodriguez is likely to be shunned mightily by the current crop of BBWAA voters when he hits the Hall of Fame ballot in a couple of years. At the rate he’s going, though, their successors will put him in Cooperstown via the Ford Frick Award sometime in the 2040s.

More than 30 years ago a man named Tommy Hilfiger changed men’s apparel by modernizing the standard button-down shirt and chino pant into fitted and designed apparel. It hallmarked the movement of bringing classic “American cool” to the world, and today Tommy Hilfiger ranks as the top global retailer with stores in 94 percent of the top 140 cities around the world, according to JLL’s Destination Retail 2016 report. The report analyzed the top 27 most expansive and connected brands globally, and found that the top retailers come from Europe or United States including:
- Levi Strauss & Co., another quintessential U.S. brand that pioneered the blue jean more than 100 years ago, now ranks as the second world retailer with 2,800 stores in 92 percent of the top cities.
- Named for the winged goddess of victory, Nike Inc., which has been revolutionizing sports shoe and apparel since 1964 ranked the third most prevalent retailer with two distinct store concepts: Niketown and Nike’s factory stores operating in 91 percent of the top global cities.
- German retailer, Hugo Boss and Spanish retailer, Zara round out the top five retailer with 91 and 89 percent of the top global cities, respectively.
The top three worldwide retailers country of origin is the United States, and the main driver of that is American pop culture says JLL’s Retail Brokerage and Capital Markets President Naveen Jaggi. “We’re the top exporter of popular culture around the world, so when a U.S. retailer enters a new city abroad they are selling a piece of that culture to an audience that already has an appetite for it,” he adds.
While the top global brands are U.S.-based, JLL found that more than half of the top 27 retailers worldwide are of European origin. “European retailers continue to dominate the global landscape because the market is a combination of so many smaller countries, in order to grow retailers must to operate outside their boundaries,” said James Brown, Director of Global Retail Research for JLL. “We also found that U.S. retailers tend to keep close to home despite their brand strength, but we expect that them to bring the next wave of international expansion in order to grow. It’s just a matter of time before their store presence will outpace European retailers.”
Retailers new and old, mainstream and luxury are embracing global expansion as a way to grow revenues but the objectives for new stores can go way beyond just sales generation according to the report. “A new store opening is no longer about racking up sales, it can support a wider wholesale, franchise or online business and can be an offensive move to safeguard market share. Increased brand awareness in a given city can also lead to an uptick in online purchasing in the market,” added Jaggi.
During the next 10 years, JLL expects a significant change in the global retail landscape due to a fast growing middle class, new economic powerhouses, rising tourism and maturing markets. These factors will attract new ambitious retail brands into emerging cities, where the search for space will accelerate. Retailers who succeed in acquiring the right space in the right place and at the right time will benefit from successful, profitable growth.
JLL’s new report, Destination Retail 2016, examines the presence of 240 international retail brands across 140 retail cities, giving insights for international retail expansion. The 140 cities make up 36 percent of the world’s GDP, 13 percent of the global population and 33 percent of total consumer spending. In today’s increasingly global retail market, international expansion is becoming a focus for JLL retail clients, as they seek sustainable growth.

Description - Art Criticism and Education by Theodore F. Wolff
Noted art critic Theodore Wolff provides a practical overview of how those who teach art can apply the principles and techniques of art criticism from kindergarten through high school. Connecting the practical to the pedagogical, George Geahigan provides a historical overview of art criticism in education literature. He rejects prevailing approaches that treat the discipline as a procedure for talking or writing about works of art, asserting instead that criticism is best construed as a mode of inquiry concerned with helping individuals see meaning and value in works of art. A rare combination of the practical and theoretical, Art Criticism and Education will be an invaluable aid to anyone who teaches art.

The National Children's Study was designed to be the largest ever long-term study of the health of children in the United States.
Its purpose was to determine how genetics and environment affected birth defects, autism, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, obesity and other child health problems, by following subjects from the prenatal stages to age 21.
Now all of the study's 40 sites across the country, including one in Westmoreland County run by researchers from the University of Pittsburgh, are shutting down due to a rethinking of the study's entire design -- not to mention its cost, which is approaching $1 billion nationally.
At the end of March, the work will fall to a large contractor out of Chicago.
"We're in the process of shutting down," said Jane A. Cauley, principal investigator and an epidemiologist at the Pitt Graduate School of Public Health. The dozen researchers hired from Westmoreland County are looking for jobs or have already left, she said, and the six investigators from Pitt will be moving on to other projects.
The Westmoreland County site was established with a contract beginning in 2007.
The site had enrolled 150 families with pregnant women over the past 14 months, first going door-to-door in designated areas to gather a representative sample and then using a direct marketing approach. Researchers visited the families to collect cord blood, vacuum cleaner bags and water samples. Samples were processed at a lab set up in the community, with duplicate freezers, centrifuges and other equipment to avoid cross-contamination.
The site also had recruited another 200 women who were planning to get pregnant in the near future. That would have given the site 350 children and families to follow over the next two decades and beyond. The budget ranged from $1.5 million to $2 million a year.
"We were supposed to follow them for 21 years," Ms. Cauley said. "That's what we told them when we recruited them. Obviously that's not going to happen now. I feel bad that we can't keep that promise."
A new contractor, however, will continue the work.
The National Children's Study grew out of a request by Congress to the National Institutes of Health in 2000 to examine a range of influences on children's health, from chemicals and other contaminants to schooling and television. The original goal was to study 100,000 children, with an estimated price tag of $2.7 billion over 25 years.
Eventually the study grew to encompass 40 centers run by university researchers in 105 counties across the country. By last year the centers had recruited about 4,000 women for an initial random sample.
But the progress was too slow and too costly, in the view of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the NIH division in charge of the study, which concluded that the effort had ballooned out of control. So NIH hit the reboot button.
The study will continue -- new recruitment will begin in 2014 -- but under very different parameters.
Instead of scattered sites attached to numerous academic institutions, four large contractors will be taking over the work (Westmoreland's will be assumed by the NORC, which specializes in social science research and is affiliated with the University of Chicago). The goal there is improved efficiency and reduced cost.
Instead of door-to-door recruitment of pregnant women so that prenatal influences can be documented, much of the recruitment will take place at hospitals with newborn babies. If those families have a subsequent pregnancy, prenatal study would be pursued. This is designed to speed up enrollment.
And instead of working from a set of 28 core hypotheses (Is there a link between violent video games and gun injuries? Are some children genetically more sensitive to pesticides than others?), the new study will build "a data platform" that will be hypothesis-free.
This last point especially troubles Ms. Cauley and many of her academic colleagues.
"Without hypotheses, you can't prioritize data collection," she said. "If you're asking about asthma, you make sure you have the environmental exposure information that will help you find answers. Otherwise how do you know what data the study should collect?"
The team will be talking to the community advisory board next week about the shutdown, Ms. Cauley said, and then mailing letters to enrolled families explaining the changes and introducing the new contractor. All of the lab equipment has been sent to other labs in the region.
"We had great partners in the Westmoreland County community and I feel positive about what we did there," she said.
"It's a very important study. I hope if the new design goes forward without hypotheses, it can still address the original goals."
Correction/Clarification: (Published February 6, 2013) NORC at the University of Chicago is the contractor taking over work on the National Children's Study from the University of Pittsburgh site in Westmoreland County. An earlier version of this story about changes in the study referred to it as the National Opinion Research Center, the contractor's former name.

Pink Floyd had a good point when resisting the demands to release their albums digitally. They argued that their music was written to be listened to as a whole – that their songs melded into one another and were not distinct entities.
I am very guilty of that. I hop in the car, switch on my phone and stick it on shuffle* – I enjoy being surprised and not knowing what the next song will be. And as I have a wide and eclectic taste in music it can jump from one genre to the next with some startling contrasts.
However, I have become guilty of only listening to music in this way. I need to sit down, relax, and make the time to listen to a whole album in order the way it was meant to be.
Pink Floyd’s Animals is a good candidate to start with. So I am off to redress the balance.

Food And Food Security
Kothe diet is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support to an organism. It consists of many essential varieties such as nutrients, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals ingested by an organism. And are assimilated by the cells of the organism to provide energy, sustain life or promote growth.
They are generally adaptable to all living beings and use to feed in different environmental systems. Historically, humans obtained food in two main ways: Hunting, gathering, and cultivating. As agricultural technologies grew, human beings lived in agriculture by balancing the opportunities from agriculture in their geography. Geographical and cultural differences have led to the creation of various culinary and culinary arts consisting of different materials, herbs, spices, etc. Technology and cookery, as cultures, have merged through the forces of international trade. And globalization, making materials available much more than their own geographical and cultural origins, creating a cosmopolitan exchange of food traditions and practices.
Today nearly all of the food energy required for the ever-enlarging populace of the world is furnished by the industrial food industry. It produces food with intensive agriculture and distributes it through multiplex food processing and food handed out systems. This system of traditional farming systems USES a lot of fossil fuel, which means that food and agriculture systems are responsible for climate change of 37%, responsible for global climate change. Addressing the food system and the carbon intensity of food waste is an essential tool to manage the global response to climate change.
The food system significantly impacts a wide range, including sustainability, biological diversity, economics, population growth, access to water supply, and food. Food is a human right recognized by the international convention on economic, social, and cultural rights. which has “the right to adequate standards of life including sufficient food” and “the fundamental right to be free from hunger.” Food security is often referred to as international policy activity. For example, sustainable development target 2, “zero hunger,” means hunger elimination by 2030. Food security and food verification are being monitored by international agencies like food security, world resources institute, world food program, food, and agriculture organization, and international food information council and are often subject to national regulation by institutions like the food and drug administration, the United States.
Food insecurity is a way of reaching food and getting Food without Food. . At the world food conference in 1974. the word ‘food security has been allowed with an emphasis on supply. Food security is defined as adequate, nutritious, varied, and substantial food. With balanced and medium world foods being available at all times, food consumption needs to be continued to expand and control production and price fluctuations. 175 later terms added to the definition the issues of demand and accessibility. The first world food summit held in 1996 said food security exists when enough for all people to meet the food needs and priorities for their active and healthy living. Have somatic and money-making in grace to safe and nutritious food.”

Malaria Diagnostic Platform
The next-generation diagnostic laboratory platform miLab® for NOUL.
Most devices that can diagnose malaria are difficult to move in size, so they have to diagnose in a limited space such as an equipped laboratory. NOUL was able to put the diagnostic technology into a small-sized device, so we could design a device that can move freely and diagnose with only one chip. We have designed the layout to let the main user can easily read the barcode form the chip and insert it for diagnosis. Healthcare workers will be able to diagnose has done naturally with the layout.
It was designed to be reliable at all angles, so it can deliver a clean feeling of the laboratory while patients waiting for their diagnosis.
In most cases, malaria is not diagnosed in a lab environment when using this device. It will be used in a harsh environment, so it should cope with dust, waterproofing, and durability. Besides, the healthcare worker can use the device without inconvenience when using it, and also tried to satisfy the engineers to disassemble when miLab® need to be repaired.

We had some fine traditions in America, though many have been pushed aside because they get in the way of modern politics.
And when it comes to patriotism on the days when we mourn our war dead, you can feel the media groaning. Patriots and patriarchs aren't much appreciated these days. They're now considered just too toxic, too masculine and they're such a bother.
America once prized merit and competition. Now, though, we prize politics and our cultural institutions strive to make Beta males. There are unintended costs to all of this, including all those young men lost, boys adrift without fathers to guide them, lonely confused boys who rage in the anonymous shadows of social media. Add unfettered access to violent violent video games, unfettered access to internet porn, raised by mothers who resent the fathers who walked away, shaped by anger and the social isolation that comes from closing schools for the past few years.
Throw in the absence of a spiritual life and the absence of a common morality. Add guns. This stew of rage boils over into murder sprees, in rural areas, in urban centers.
We ignore what we feel in our bones to be wrong. We'd rather play our politics instead.

Tagged With parks
Like oversized fishing floats used as flower vases, these 20 trees planted in colourful buoys are designed to add whimsy and nature to Rotterdam's industrial waterfront. The installation, named Dobberend Bos, or "bobbing forest" in Dutch, will be released into the city's harbour in March.
New York City has plenty of parks that revamp ageing transit infrastructure: The High Line transforms a decrepit elevated rail route, the Lowline reclaims forgotten tunnels. But neither of those is as ambitious as the Green Line, a concept that would turn a major street into a linear park.
Parks aren't always built just so we can enjoy the trees. On Governor's Island in New York City, a truly unique public space will bring nature back to a former military base -- and it's engineered to withstand the catastrophic storms that climate change will bring. It's called The Hills, and in this documentary, we talk to one of its principle designers.
When you walk into the Lowline Lab, the first thing you taste is oxygen. The Lab is hidden in an old warehouse, two blocks away from where the Lowline, a proposed underground park, is slated to open in 2020. The Lab is its prototype -- part testing ground and part public sneak peek at the paradise that may one day grow under Manhattan's streets.
Video: Redwood National & State Parks in northern California is where some of the tallest trees in the world stand and is home to so many different species. More Than Just Parks spent several weeks inside the park capturing the forest and the beaches and the clouds and basically all the beautiful nature that exists there. It's so soothing to watch.
Labour Day Weekend is one of the busiest times at Yellowstone National Park, and its famous geyser, Old Faithful, reels in 90 per cent of the park's 3.6 million annual visitors. To keep that geyser reliably spewing steam and water 43m into the air every hour or two well into the future, the park is surrounding the thing with pavement made from tyres.
It was 32C at 10am when I stepped off the Orange Line in the LA neighbourhood of Van Nuys. A perfect day for the beach, or for the pool, or for positioning yourself directly beneath those little misters you can find at finer restaurants in the Valley. But I was about to embark upon a very different Los Angeles experience, one that I'd guarantee a large percentage of the city's population doesn't even think is possible. I was heading out on a two-hour kayak trip down the Los Angeles River.
Los Angeles's Griffith Park is home to miles of hiking trails, the Hollywood Sign, and at least one mountain lion. Now, suddenly, the park has a teahouse, secretly installed by a group of anonymous artists on a hillside overlooking the city.
The Anacostia River that runs through Washington DC has historically been known as, well, not the cleanest river in the United States. A new elevated park straddling the river plans to filter the dirty water with a waterfall feature (apparently projected with Frederick Douglass's face). It's the winning design announced today for the city's upcoming elevated park.
Not to be outdone by New York City's beloved High Line (the final, most unwieldy phase of which opens this fall), Washington DC is planning its own elevated park, which will sail over the Anacostia River on a former freeway bridge. Four visions for the park have been released as part of a competition. And they're all very exciting for the city.
Los Angeles is a big place -- over 1000 square kilometres. Even though it's home to the country's largest urban park many of its residents do not have easy access to a public green space. A new "interactive interpretive" urban trail system hopes to close that distance, while connecting Angelenos to the hidden cultural and fitness opportunities in their city.

ANKIT SHAH (SENIOR ADVISOR) IDENTIFIES PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES TO IMPROVE SERVICE PERFORMANCE AND DRIVE BETTER VFM OUTCOMES.
One of the key benefits of procuring a project under a Public Private Partnership (PPP) approach is the ability for Government to transfer considered elements of design, construction and operational risk to the private sector where it provides demonstrable value for money (VfM).
To achieve this during operations, Governments’ should develop performance management systems and performance management regimes within operational contracts that have tangible VfM outcomes and deliver the operational objectives and standards set out in the contracts. Performance regimes should include weighted Key Performance Indicators (KPI) that measure the quality and importance of service delivery performance at an activity level. It is the responsibility of the private sector to develop the methodologies to deliver services to the required contractual standards.
As the current PPP project market only has a limited number of projects that have reached operational maturity in Australia and worldwide, it is difficult to measure how successful early performance regimes have been, and whether they have provided VfM. Despite this, on many PPP contracts, performance regimes have been renegotiated, and continuously updated and improved, to reflect changing commercial conditions and the maturity of the market through lessons learned via a continuous improvement approach.
Governments need to develop and implement KPI’s that are flexible, and reviewed regularly by both contract parties, to ensure they remain valid and appropriate. Any adjustment to the risk profile over time should be quantified using pre-agreed metrics.
Performance measures are requisite elements of a successful performance based management system. Governments should consider the following as a minimum, in the development of performance measures:
- (1) Early involvement of industry experts;
- (2) Availability of performance data from comparable projects;
- (3) Implement KPI’s that are:
flexible and accurate; and
able to be successfully (VfM) monitored without undue governance and process
- (4) Optimize and calibrate KPIs to measure the important services;
- (5) A balanced scorecard payment mechanism;
- (6) Regular review process mechanism;
- Continuous improvement practices that are adopted and maintained; and
- Technological advancements that impact quality control and performance
Items 4 and 5 (as examples) are discussed below in further detail:
Opportunity 1 – Optimising KPI’s Service Weightings:
KPI’s which measure services that have a high operational impact should be given a higher weighting in terms of financial incentive in order for the Contractor to deliver the required standards. Generally, KPI’s related to asset management services (which measure asset and building performance and availability) should be developed to measure and prioritize critical and essential plant and equipment operation. Similarly, hospital projects and higher-tech facilities which have redundant systems and high-reliability requirements should include KPIs that are more punitive in the event of asset failure when compared to more conventional facilities, such as schools and roads projects. In addition, the asset duty should also drive levels of maintenance activity and response/rectification needs. For a non-essential asset, such as building finishes and FF&E, KPI weightings could be lower, as their impact on operations is likely to be less.
Opportunity 2 – Developing a Balanced Scorecard Payment Mechanism
In the majority of PPP’s, a service provider is penalized for underperformance or noncompliance, but not rewarded with any financial incentives in excess of fixed fees, for exceeding performance requirement. In preparing payment mechanism, Government should introduce financial incentives in excess to contractual fixed fees, where service providers exceed the performance requirements. This would create opportunities for the service provider to invest in technological innovation and improvement in current workplace practices (eg. Helpdesk Services).

Pros: Double Duty Sighting

With many cases of police abuse in the national news cycle, the defense of qualified immunity has been publicized like never before.
According to CNN, “Qualified immunity, established by the Supreme Court in 1967, effectively protects state and local officials, including police officers, from personal liability unless they are determined to have violated what the court defines as an individual’s ‘clearly established statutory or constitutional rights.’”
Reuters recently ran a series of investigative reports on qualified immunity that showed the extent that police officers are shielded from personal liability. This post uses 200 cases from the past year where qualified immunity was identified as a defense as data to understand the landscape of these decisions across the country.
The Reuters article conveyed the prevalence of the qualified immunity defense. One way to further parse this is by looking at the frequency with which it has been granted.
The outcome breakdown shows that in most cases the qualified immunity defense is granted. The defense was only rejected by comparison in just over 16% of the cases. Some extent (but not all) of the qualified immunity defense was granted in 9.5% of the cases. The second most prevalent category, “in question” refers to cases where the court does not resolve the qualified immunity defense but generally clarifies an aspect of this defense for a future proceeding.
An example of a decision where the qualified immunity question is left in question comes from Judge Willett’s opinion in Roque v. Harvel. Here Willett concludes: “This is a tragic case that raises difficult questions about how police officers should respond to suicidal suspects. Those questions cannot be answered here without the resolution of several factual disputes.”
Digging deeper into these cases, it becomes apparent that while actions involving police officers were the most common for this type of case, multiple other types of actors also sought this defense. These individuals include school officials, attorneys, physicians, and prison guards
Gokor v. Schlievert is one of these cases involving a doctor. The qualified immunity defense was raised as follows, “Plaintiff Beth Gokor claims that the defendant’s ‘investigation’ did more than misdiagnose the cause of J.J.’s injury; he was the moving force behind a maliciously wrongful prosecution. Defendant Dr. Schlievert denies that he is liable and, he also contends that he, in any event, is entitled to the benefits of qualified immunity. This is so, he asserts, because: 1) ‘his good-faith and reasonable medical conclusion was not false or fabricated evidence against [plaintiff]’; and 2) plaintiff cannot show that probable cause did not support her prosecution. (Doc. 70).” In this case Judge Carr from the Northern District of Ohio ruled that Dr. Schlievert was not entitled to qualified immunity.
Another way to compare qualified immunity cases is by where they are located across the country. The following map presents this breakdown.
The most cases, 19, were heard in California. This is followed closely by cases from Texas (17), and then by cases from New York (13) Pennsylvania (12), and Michigan (10).
California cases came primarily from the Ninth Circuit, which was the court where most of these cases/appeals were heard.
After the Ninth Circuit the courts that most frequently examined these cases were the Tenth Circuit, Sixth Circuit, and Fifth Circuit. Most of these cases were also heard by federal courts, as the breakdown is 192 cases from federal court to eight decisions from state court. The two federal district courts that heard the most of these cases were the District Courts for the Northern District of Illinois and for Arizona.
While these cases spanned many jurisdictions and an abundance of judges, several judges heard multiple qualified immunity cases.
Judge McHugh from the Tenth Circuit heard many more of these cases than all other judges. McHugh wrote the majority opinions in Reavis Estate of Coale v. Frost, Arnold v. Gonzalez, Routt v. Howry, Bird v. Lampert, Britton v. Keller, and Joritz v. Gray-Little. Judge McHugh decided that the officials in question were entitled to the qualified immunity defense in all of these cases except in Reavis Estate, where Judge McHugh decided that the qualified immunity defense was still in question.
While cases involving police officers dominate these data and these officers were granted qualified immunity in the majority of these cases, these data also show that there is significant variation in this case type. It will be interesting to see the prevalence with which this defense is granted in the future, especially with the heightened intensity of this issue in the public spotlight.

Electronic Traffic Signal
Built simultaneously with the Mosaic Super Mario Bros. Lamp, this project was a real challenge to say the least. Inside this hollow yellow structure is a “brain” — a microchip from a model railroad set, which controls three LED spotlight bulbs rigged up in a series and powered with an AC adapter. The bulbs then shine behind a grid of Technic bricks with transparent colored plates in the holes — in the same “Lite Brite” fashion as the Mario Lamps. I spent about a month experimenting with the bulbs and electronics, to get failed results, when I eventually learned that I needed to remove some of the resistors from the circuit board.

Trading Office Commodities
The Atlanta, GA office has been in operation since January 2000. The original focus was trading rail grain from the Eastern Corn-belt into the Southeast Feed Market. Over the years we have evolved into mainly farmer based marketing. We focus on growers throughout the Southeast, predominately corn, beans and wheat. We provide forward contracting and risk management options for our customers such as basis, flat price and hedge to arrive contracts. Most of our logistics is handled with trucks moving from farm to end-user, however we are looking at future opportunities with rail, barge, and container trade as well.
One of the newest highlights to the Atlanta office is working with our sister company, Sesaco Corporation, which we were introduced to in 2012 through the Mitsubishi network. As the Sesaco Corporation looked to grow their Sesame production to the Southeast, they came to FGDI for assistance gaining access to growers interested in the new crop. We find that Sesame fits very well into producers operations here in the Southeast as it is a durable dry land crop and provides many benefits as a rotational crop. We look at sesame to continue to grow as a significant business opportunity in our Atlanta office.

In late March, a semi-truck traveling north on Interstate 35 in Texas struck the crossbeam of a bridge under construction, causing two other concrete beams to collapse onto traffic below. According to one local Texas news source, one person was killed and three others injured as a result of the truck accident. Fortunately, the injuries were not life-threatening.
According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), the construction is part of a larger project to widen the interstate to four lanes. Several other overpasses are part of the construction project.
After the accident, a spokeswoman for TxDOT said that at least three signs indicating the bridge clearance were posted within two miles of the bridge. However, one local news agency reported that a fourth sign near the bridge indicated a higher clearance height than the other three signs.
The actual height of the truck’s load was unknown at the time of the accident. According to TxDOT, clearance signs typically indicate a lower height than the actual clearance so that drivers have a cushion when passing under a bridge.
Truck Accident Cases Require Experienced Attorneys
Unfortunately, accidents involving semi-trucks often result in death or near-death injuries. For this reason, New Mexico has specific rules and regulations for trucks traveling on its roadways, even if the trucks are passing through from out-of-state. Truck drivers must also obey federal laws that are similarly designed to improve the safety of our roads.
Of New Mexico’s trucking regulations, one of the most important is a rule regulating the number of hours a driver can be behind the wheel on a given day. This ensures that drivers have slept a sufficient number of hours before driving and are well rested enough to be attentive to unknown traffic patterns, updated road signage, and other drivers on the road. Other regulations include regular truck inspections, maximum load sizes, and frequent truck maintenance. Truck drivers in New Mexico may also be required to keep trucking logs in order to demonstrate compliance with the above regulations.
A driver or trucking company’s failure to adhere to any of these regulations may amount to what is known as negligence. Negligence in this context is a failure to exercise reasonable care in the operation of a semi-truck. If a trucking company or driver is involved in an accident and is found guilty of negligence, one or both could be liable for damages. Damages may include compensation for out-of-pocket expenses and lost wages, as well as for pain and suffering. In New Mexico, most trucking companies maintain a minimum of $1 million in liability insurance coverage.
Involved in a Trucking Accident? Don’t Wait to Call an Attorney
Trucking accident law is different from automobile accident law because of New Mexico’s special regulations for semi-trucks. This makes hiring an attorney with experience handling truck accident cases essential. It is also essential that the victim of a trucking accident contact an attorney immediately, since crucial evidence, like the trucking logs described above, is often destroyed or lost shortly after an accident. By obtaining a lawyer soon after you are involved in an accident with a semi-truck, this type of evidence is more likely to be available down the line if needed. If you or a loved one were involved in an accident involving a semi-truck, call the Fine Law Firm immediately for a free initial consultation. Our phone number is 505-889-FINE.

Could a Superman: Red Son movie be happening? Well, one apparent star seems to have confirmed that it will be going ahead.
The classic Superman story follows an alternate timeline where the Man of Steel lands as an infant in the Ukraine instead of Kansas, and grows up to fight for the Soviet Union.
Well, now rumours are swirling that an animated movie based on the 2003 comics story is happening.
Weight was added to it after actor Diedrich Bader (Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Napoleon Dynamite) retweeted Revenge of the Fans' story and said that he was "really excited" to be part of the project, before deleting it.
According to reports, the likes of Star Trek: Discovery's Jason Isaacs and voice acting supremo Tara Strong are also involved.
In other Superman news, Aquaman star Jason Momoa recently said we should not believe stories about Henry Cavill quitting the role in the live-action movies.
"He's absolutely not. He loves the character and he's not, 100%," he said of his Justice League co-star last year.
Warner Bros said in a statement following reports in September: "While no decisions have been made regarding any upcoming Superman films, we've always had great respect for and a great relationship with Henry Cavill, and that remains unchanged."
