Hey guys, Nick here, and welcome back to another Mini Update. It's time for us to cover some of the upcoming gameplay changes that are going to be included with the next release. We've got a lot to cover, so we'll split this into several parts. Today's update will mostly cover gameplay changes to the compound system and features associated with it.
Now, the upcoming release is intended to be primarily for implementing the new engine, but alongside it we are going to also include some additions and changes to gameplay to give a change of experience from the current version of Thrive. We've had some time to think and discuss about what we want to add and tweak to improve the gameplay experience, and here is what we have so far.
Firstly, compounds. At the moment we feel that the situation with compounds does not provide much of a fun "survival" experience for the player, and that there are a few things that can add frustration to the gameplay.
One of these changes is to rebalance the spawning of compounds, something I experimented with in the Compound Rebalance mod. You can read more about in the first Mini Update.
Basically, the premise of the rebalance is to make clouds harder to find but yield more when found. On top of this, to start building up on the research done on the Planetary Evolution topic covered last time, we're going to start the game in a "Primordial Soup" condition. Compounds will be abundant and easy to find, so early species will be able to easily thrive and find the nutrients they need. Then this abundance will gradually diminish over the generations until it stabilizes at much lower levels. This gradual increase of difficulty will force the player and other species to have to evolve to compete with the other organisms.
Another change that is partially inspired by that mod is to actually remove oxygen and carbon dioxide as compound clouds, and instead make them features of the environment. By features of the environment, we mean that they will still affect gameplay by influencing the speed of reactions that need them, but will be represented like temperature or light instead of compound clouds. For now, we'll have them set to fixed values, but later we'll experiment with fluctuating them across biomes and in response to natural events.
The reasons for removing these two compounds as clouds from the environment are several. For one thing, having to hunt for both oxygen and glucose just to create energy can make the compound rebalance frustrating, because sometimes you can find a lot of glucose but not any oxygen and you end up dying. Realistically these gasses are dilute and widely distributed. Their concentration hardly changes on the microscopic scale. Another reason is that it can get frustrating to have your compound storage get filled by oxygen or carbon dioxide when you don't need it, when in reality these gasses very quickly and easily diffuse into and out of cells and don't need to be stored in the same way as nutrients like glucose. Removing these compounds as clouds also streamlines the process of hunting for nutrients, balancing cloud spawning, designing AI, and makes the game a little less complex with less compounds for the player to actively think about and have displayed on the UI (because there are more compounds to be added).
In addition, we're also planning to remove Amino Acids, Fatty Acids, and Nucleic Acids from the game. Instead, any process that would've normally used these compounds uses an equivalent amount of their precursors instead (glucose, ammonia, or phosphate). Though it pained the scientists within us to part with these compounds, we realized it needed to be done for the gameplay. They were purely intermediary in all situations and only made designing the UI, AI, compound system, and other features more complicated. However, since they are the fundamental building blocks of cells and life, we will definitely make sure that they are mentioned and explained in the in-game encyclopedia for anyone interested in the biology and chemistry behind the game.
In light of removing/reclassifying these five compounds, we're also planning on adding in Phosphate as a new compound that is required in addition to ammonia to reproduce. A lesson partially learned from the compound rebalance is that only requiring the player to absorb ammonia on its own can very quickly allow them to reproduce. Requiring the player to absorb both will slow down the rate of reproduction and allow for more play time between generations. Realistically it also fills in the fact that cells need a source of phosphorus (phosphate) in their nutrients in addition to a source of nitrogen (ammonia). In many oceanic biomes on earth, phosphate and ammonia or other nitrogen based nutrients are the limiting nutrients of how large the ecosystem can grow.
Now let's break up this wall of text with an image.
With the simplification of the compound system we're planning a redesign of the UI to something more minimal. Here is some early concept. We'll get more into this topic as it develops.
Another change, we're adding chemosynthesis to the game! We're adding hydrogen sulfide as a new compound cloud and a chemoplast as a new organelle that performs chemosynthesis using hydrogen sulfide (turning it into glucose). This opens up a new possible survival strategy for cells in the environment. This is a precursor of future content we will add with chemosynthesis and thermosynthesis to allow for more exotic and alien life.
Fun fact, part of the reason we're adding the chemoplast organelle is because we finally fixed the problem we've had for a LONG time of not being able to import new models into the game. As part of the engine switch (which is progressing smoothly!), hhyyrylainen figured out how to import models into the game without getting the same errors as before and as a result we're going to finally get to adding some more of the organelles we have planned.
Another upcoming change: Health and Reproduction. From playing the current release you can definitely feel frustration from when you get hit by toxins (the big X's which will eventually be replaced with proper graphics) from other cells. Not only does it damage your health but it also sets back your reproduction progress, and you have to eat more compounds to restore that lost progress before you can continue past where you were before. Although it was elegant and technically realistic that health and reproduction progress were tied together, we felt that it wasn't worth the frustration in the gameplay. The solution we've decided to implement for this is to separate health from reproduction. You can take damage and your health will go down, but you won't lose reproduction progress.
Finally, we're going to be making a change to vacuoles as well. Vacuoles currently provide general storage space for all compounds. This means it's possible to swim through a cloud of ammonia and become filled with that, and then not have any room for glucose when you find it. The solution we're going to add to deal with this is to make vacuoles provide separated storage, as in each vacuole provides 10 units of storage for glucose, 10 for ammonia, 10 for phosphate, etc., so that filling up on ammonia doesn't fill up your cell from being able to absorb some glucose or phosphate or hydrogen sulfide when you find some.
That's all for this week's Mini Update! You can discuss this update on reddit or the community forums. Stay tuned for next time when we'll talk about some of the other upcoming gameplay features, including changes to movement, controls, populations, extinctions, AI, another new organelle, and bacteria!

Creating Efficient Programmatic Pipelines For TV
By Daniel Church
The TV market is largely devoid of programmatic offerings. There have been a lot of companies in the past which have been working to increase automation around buys, but they've only scratched the surface. A good portion of them are basically working in the old systems and trying to shorten the time it takes to execute ad buying.
As the director of programmatic at Beachfront, a video ad tech company, I run the buy-side team that manages the video on demand (VOD) inventory for top-10 MVPDs, helping them unlocking that VOD inventory into a real-time biddable digital ad buying marketplace.
The reason why I left my last job at FreeWheel, a Comcast-owned media planning and buying automation outfit, was that I wanted to get closer to the product side of programmatic and dig into issues that brands are having trouble solving.
As a programmatic-first company, Beachfront is looking at it from the other side — which is — 'how do we extend the value of programmatic completely into these legacy systems?'
We have a good amount of the technology already built for the VOD technology. While we look at traditional linear, we see a lot of opportunity there as well. But unlike a lot of players, we're not looking to make it a little bit better. We're trying to completely pull it into the programmatic ecosystem, with all the benefits of that.
Considering the current seat I have at the programmatic table, one of my main objectives is to drive the adoption and evangelize the message out to the buyer's side about our unique product and positioning.
We're taking a small SSP that has been profitable for a long time, one that has great technology but a lower profile on the sales side, and basically taking that and proving the value beyond what the traditional SSP entails. The challenge on the supply side is to create that value, especially as buyers have slimmed down with the number of partners that they're using.
I can't comment for others, but for Beachfront, our VOD numbers are growing rapidly. We're seeing a huge adoption from the buy side. Obviously, this inventory is pretty much the most premium inventory you can get. It's even more of a premium environment when compared to digital boxes that would be able to provide VOD content. On top of that, it's not an internet-based system. So there's absolutely zero percent chance of fraud.
At the end of the day, we want to give the buyers the best places to run their ads at the lowest cost — and still pay the publishers as much revenue as possible. A lot of them are doing great work, and that's only be true through premium partnerships.
Now it's time for the industry to be on the same page and build better pipelines.

A Wistful Eye - The Tragedy of a Titanic Shipwright
By D J Kelly
It is 1910 and fifty-six year old William Henry Kelly, a caulker at Belfast's Queen's Island shipyard, is engaged in building the White Star liner Titanic, when Belle, his beloved wife of 30 years, is brutally murdered. Based on the true story of the author's great grandfather, this is an account of life in Belfast's shipyards and working class districts during the turbulent first quarter of the 20th century. Set against the background of the construction and demise of Belfast's iconic but ill-fated super liner, and the effects of the First World War on industrial and community relations in Belfast, it tells the story of an ordinary but intelligent working man's battle with social injustice and with the demons within himself. This tale of a hard-working man, whose personal tragedy is eclipsed by by that of the doomed ship and her fifteen hundred lost souls, is told with humour, pathos and an affection for the characters.

'Annabelle Comes Home' Early Buzz: That Killer Doll Returns for More
Posted on Monday, June 24th, 2019 by Ben Pearson
Gary Dauberman has been one of the key creative forces responsible for building out James Wan's extended Conjuring Universe. He wrote the first two Annabelle movies – the first of which was widely derided, but the follow-up was seen as a significant improvement. Dauberman also wrote the third entry, Annabelle Comes Home, and that new film also marks his directorial debut.
So how did he do? How does this latest Annabelle stack up against the previous entries? The first reviews have arrived, so read on to find out. Read More »
The Morning Watch: 'Aquaman' Easter Eggs, Fight Scene Breakdown by James Wan & More
Posted on Wednesday, December 26th, 2018 by Ethan Anderton
In this edition, dive into the Easter eggs and comic references you might have missed in last weekend's release of Aquaman. Plus, director James Wan breaks down an epic action scene above water from the DC Comics movie and also examines one of the underwater fight scenes between Arthur Curry (Jason Momoa) and his half-brother Orm (Patrick Wilson).

Patrick Wilson Masters the Complex Villain in 'Aquaman' [Interview]
Posted on Friday, December 21st, 2018 by Hoai-Tran Bui
With his blonde hair and classically handsome good looks, Patrick Wilson is the spitting image of the comic book Aquaman. Which is why his casting as the aquatic superhero's archenemy Orm Marius, aka Ocean Master, is such a stroke of genius. "Truthfully, me with blonde hair is closer to prototypical Aquaman," Wilson told me in an interview ahead of the release of Aquaman. "So I thought, 'Let's use that to our advantage.'"
Wilson dyed his blonde hair an even lighter shade — "almost a throwback to the older Aquaman," Wilson noted — and pulled his hair back in a severe bun that highlights his Nordic features. It offered a stark contrast to Jason Momoa's roughshod iteration of Aquaman, who made his big screen debut in last year's Justice League.
With Aquaman, Wilson makes a major return to the superhero genre after starring in 2009's Watchmen, but this time he's playing the baddie. But something drew him to the role other than the chance to work with five-time collaborator director James Wan again. Orm offered the chance for Wilson to play against type and to lend some sympathy to a comic book villain. "[Orm is] a villain but he's certainly a villain with a cause," Wilson said. "So he's not as black and white as much as somebody who's out there for blood." In our Patrick Wilson interview, Wilson speaks about what drives Orm to instigate a war with the surface world in Aquaman and why the audience can sympathize with the baddie's ecological mission.
'Aquaman' Review: James Wan Steers the DC Universe to Weird, Wild Success
Posted on Tuesday, December 11th, 2018 by Hoai-Tran Bui
Aquaman is a movie that shouldn't work. You've got Nicole Kidman eating a live goldfish in one scene, and an octopus playing the bongos in another — plus an absurd number of men sticking their heads down toilets (actually it's just once, but it feels like a bit that goes on forever). And yet James Wan's aquatic comic book movie is a total blast to watch.
On the heels of his scene-stealing introduction in last year's Justice League, Jason Momoa's Aquaman finally gets his own solo outing in an epic, sprawling adventure that is more than a match for his wild surfer bro superhero that spawned so many memes. Wan has managed to build an entire movie around Momoa's laid-back hyper-masculine persona and uses it as a launchpad to create a staggeringly ambitious, visually overwhelming movie that crashes into you like a tidal wave.
'The Conjuring 3' Will Be a Departure from the First Two Films, According to Patrick Wilson
Posted on Wednesday, December 5th, 2018 by Ethan Anderton
The Conjuring universe has been growing quite a bit in the past few years. Not only has the spin-off Annabelle sparked a franchise on its own, but The Nun became quite the success earlier this year, and The Crooked Man spin-off is still on the way. But with Annabelle 3 bringing Ed and Lorraine Warren (Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga) into the fray in a much more prominent way, what does the future of The Conjuring franchise look like?
Patrick Wilson has been making the publicity rounds for this month's release of Aquaman, and a recent interview eventually turned to The Conjuring franchise. While the actor couldn't reveal much about the sequel, what he did say certainly makes us curious about what will happen. Read More »
Everything We Learned at the 'Aquaman' Press Conference
Posted on Monday, December 3rd, 2018 by Hoai-Tran Bui
"Whoa!" Jason Momoa's deep, raspy voice exclaimed upon setting his eyes on the Madame Tussaud wax mannequin of himself at the Aquaman press conference in New York City. Suddenly, the 39-year-old actor was like a kid in a candy store, staring deeply at his incredibly accurate wax likeness with the kind of sparkle in his eyes reserved for children seeing a superhero for the first time. But he's not the only one to have that exact reaction.
"My first experience wearing the suit, it was really beautiful and I've actually never told [director James Wan] this," Momoa said. "I put it on, I didn't have a mirror, and I come out of wardrobe and I get to see his face. He's always extremely passionate and lets you know right away. But the absolute joy — he looked like a kid — he beamed, 'I did it.' He was super proud, and he didn't have to say anything, I could see it on his face."
For Momoa, director James Wan, and fellow cast members Amber Heard and Patrick Wilson, who joined them at the Aquaman press junket on Saturday, December 1 in New York City, Aquaman is about extending that childlike wonder of seeing a favorite superhero come to life to an entire movie. And no, it's not just about wax mannequins — however eerily similar they are ("I can blame everything that goes wrong on it!" Momoa exclaimed). Momoa, Wan, Heard, and Wilson discussed the personal and mythic elements that went into Aquaman, and the long road to bringing it to the big screen.
Here are some of the splashiest things we learned about the making of Aquaman ahead of the film's release on December 21, 2018.
One More 'Aquaman' Trailer Pushes the Comic Book Action Spectacle
Posted on Friday, November 30th, 2018 by Ethan Anderton
All right, the last Aquaman trailer we featured was said to be the "final" one, but that's only here in the United States. Our friends over in China recently got a new trailer, and it has plenty of new footage from the upcoming DC Comics superhero movie starring Jason Momoa. Most of the new stuff is all of the underwater action spectacle that will help Aquaman stand out from the rest of the comic book fare. Check out the new international Aquaman trailer below if you're hungry for more footage. Read More »
More 'Aquaman' Test Screenings Bring a Wave of Positive Reactions
Posted on Thursday, November 8th, 2018 by Hoai-Tran Bui
We're a month away from the theatrical release of Aquaman, but Warner Bros. seems to still be testing the waters with the comic book movie starring Jason Momoa and directed by James Wan.
At least one more test screening for Aquaman appears to have been held in California recently, with more reactions pouring in from the lucky audience members selected to come aboard. And the Aquaman early buzz seems to be much the same as before: mostly positive.
Dive Into Some Very Silly Yet Enjoyable 'Aquaman' Character Posters
Posted on Wednesday, November 7th, 2018 by Chris Evangelista
Aquaman will soon make a big splash in theaters everywhere! That's right, the King of Atlantis is going to swim his way onto movie screens, and cause a tidal wave at the box office! And he's going to get you wet. Okay, that's enough of that. We are indeed getting closer to the release of Aquaman, though, which means marketing is going to increase. Case in point: a series of silly (yet somehow enjoyable) character posters have just surfaced (sorry, I can't stop!), featuring lots of blue, lots of flowing hair, and lots of Patrick Wilson yelling. Plunge to the depths below to sea the Aquaman posters.
'Annabelle 3': Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga Will Play the Warrens in Spinoff Sequel
Posted on Tuesday, October 16th, 2018 by Ben Pearson
In the Conjuring universe, Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga play married paranormal investigators Ed and Lorraine Warren. Thus far, the pair haven't figured prominently in any of the cinematic universe's spin-off movies, appearing in The Conjuring and The Conjuring 2 and skipping out on the Annabelle franchise and the recent The Nun. But that's about to change: a new report says Wilson and Farmiga are set to reprise their roles in the upcoming Annabelle 3.


I managed to get a Nucleus colony from a local swarm catcher/beekeeper last week. As it's already into summer I plan to have these build up their numbers in a Lang and then hopefully split into a Warre next spring.
I think the timing was pretty good as the Strigy Barks (Eucalyptus obliqua) are just starting to flower so there is plenty of nector for them.
Awesome - congrats on finding a swarm.
The first thing I bought was the vail..I already had some gloves that have velcro strapping..tucked the trousers into the socks...I'm hopeing I can get by with this lot for a month or so before I splurge out and by a Hooded Jacket and longer gloves.
Still got two stings from some pretty pi$$ed off bees when I put them in position, they had been shut in from 5:00PM the previous night and I didn't release them until 8:00AM.
One managed to get me through the stiching in the glove, the other must have been sitting on the vail, as soon as I took it off she gave me a kiss right on the chin..
I need to transfer them into the main hive either tonight or weather depending on the weekend, so I expect more of the same.
Tucking trousers into socks is not such a great idea if there is space for bees to fall between your socks and boots. I speak from painful experience! The best thing for that is to have trouser legs that are long and can go over high ankle length boots, or better still white gumboots, and then to put elastic bands around the trousers to hold them tight over the boot. The best thing is to get yourself a white overall 1 or two sizes too big and install elastic in the hem of the trouser legs. Hide this overall away from your artist wife/kids who think that overalls are common property!
New to forum, but not to beekeeping!! As a beekeeping instructor, I encourage new beekeepers to be cautious of miracle beekeeping techniques that promise your bees will be immune to disease and other improbable claims (see Backyardhive.com). Corwin is a good man and a good beekeeper but I differ with some of his claims that run counter to readily available science, critical thinking and observation.
There are lots of ways to keep bees, and all have their strengths and their possibilities of failure. Ultimately beekeeping rests on the beekeeper to know the needs of a colony, to monitor the colony for health, and to harmonize your efforts with the bees' strong instincts: you can't force them to do something they don't want to do anyways. But you can shape their direction if you know what it is and end up in a happy place with healthy bees.
And lastly, I'll offer my opinion that bees don't benefit from the culture wars where beekeepers attack other beekeepers for using Langs or topbars or Warres or whatever... bees live perfectly happily in all types of equipment (as well as gas tanks, building spaces, flowerpots and tree boles). Bees and beekeeping have enough challenged without beek-on-beek warfare.
Thanks for sharing these amazing links and info. I was just planning to build a hive and researching on internet for this. These are some really amazing links and info.

Q: How to check if value in field is decimal and not string (DATASTAGE)? How to check if value in field is decimal and not string (DATASTAGE) ?
I am using with Datastage Version 8.

A: Try using IsValid() with the 'decimal' sub-type on the incoming string.
If IsValid("decimal" , in.value_string ) Then in.value_tring Else SetNull()

A: You can use Alpha & num function inside transformer which gives you whether the given value contains only alphabets.
If alpha(column) is 1 then its purely alphabetical.
Else check if Num(column) is 1, if this true then it is purely a number.

Foreign language enrollment bucks national trend
Postedby Emily A. Palm
Despite a noted descent nationwide in foreign language education, Portland State's enrollment in such programs is growing.
Dr. Sandra Rosengrant, department chair of Foreign Languages and Literature, said she finds this gratifying.
According to the Modern Language Association, 15 K-12 public schools in the U.S. teach Arabic. Less than 2 percent of high school students in the U.S. today study Farsi, Urdu, Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Russian or Chinese. In an effort to combat this national decline, President George W. Bush proposed a National Security Language Initiative last month. He requested $114 million for the 2007 fiscal year from Congress.
Rosengrant said it is premature to tell what this will mean for PSU, but said the university is poised to apply competitively for grants that may become available from the initiative.
The initiative is a partnership between the Department of Education, the Department of Defense and the director of National Intelligence.
"Our goal is, in essence, to ramp up the mastery of these critical languages, not solely for national security reasons but also in terms of America's standing in the world," said Barry Lowenkron, assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labor, at a briefing on the program.
The administration intends to produce 2,000 advanced speakers of Arabic, Chinese, Russian, Hindi, Farsi and Central Asian languages over the next several years.
Rosengrant noted that the language department at PSU has been expanding its programs. Last fall they hired a new assistant professor of Farsi. She hopes to add a Farsi minor to the available major in Chinese and minor in Arabic. "We simply cannot afford to be monolingual or monocultural," Rosengrant said, and noted that she finds PSU students to be aware of this fact. In the fall of 2004 Arabic classes offered at PSU yielded 120 students, and Rosengrant said the program has grown.
A component of the administration's strategic language plan entails expanding a Fulbright Scholarship program where Fulbrighters come to the United States and teach languages. Last year PSU hosted Fulbright teaching assistants from Iraq, Turkey and Pakistan. "These are wonderful, wonderful young people," Rosengrant said. She said they plan to continue participation in the program, and next year will have teachers from Oman, Turkey, Russia, India and Iran.
The Fulbright teaching assistants at PSU support the newfound Heritage Language Initiative at PSU. Native literacy instruction is targeted at the languages with significant populations in Portland. The classes are taught in part by members of the community. The list comprises Arabic, Cantonese, Hindi, Farsi, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog, Urdu and Vietnamese.
Bush noted that understanding another language is a kind gesture. "When somebody comes to me and speaks Texan, I know they appreciate the Texas culture," he said. "When Americans learn to speak a language, learn to speak Arabic, those in the Arabic region will say, gosh, America is interested in us. They care enough to learn how we speak."

Recognized from her roles on 'Survivor', 'The View', and 'FOX & Friends', celebrity Elisabeth Hasselbeck has a huge presence in Hollywood. Hasselbeck is known for her large media personality, but she is adamant that her public persona is rooted in her Christian beliefs.
In her new book, 'Point of View', Hasselbeck presents a deeply intimate journey of faith and those struggles she had, told through the important moments in her life. Through every stage of her life, from being a stay at home mom to a huge public broadcaster, Hasselbeck has worked to take God's point of view. When God's intentions weren't clear, Hasselbeck learned to trust in Him and move forward with His guidance.
While Hasselbeck did survive on 'Survivor', she did not survive 'The View'. When she was let go from the show in 2013, Hasselbeck really struggled with what to do next. She felt helpless because she wanted to stay, but she was not wanted.
Hasselbeck took this lesson along with her when she was on 'FOX & Friends'. Hasselbeck knew this was a great opportunity for her, and felt compelled to stay at the job despite the toll it was taking on her mentally and physically. She wasn't listening to God at the time. However, He was there to help her. Through a medical scare, Hasselbeck finally got some time to step away from the position. It was then that she realized that her own health and spirituality was more important that a good job.
Hasselbeck admits that she was holding onto the job, and it was only through God that she realized she needed to let it go so that her faith and family could ge the best of her.
Hasselbeck also isn't afraid to talk about the hard topics, and will share her ideals with others. For example, Hasselbeck was taken aback when former co-host Joy Behar made remarks saying that hearing the Lord's voice was akin to mental illness. Hasselbeck said the Holy Spirit promoted her to confront Behar.
"What came after laughter and a quick catch up was a conversation without condemnation. She heard why I 'hear God' in prayer, in quiet time, through a friend's discernment, through the power of the Holy Spirit in the nudges that I feel each day, in the longings of my heart, in the questions in my heart.

PUBLISHED: June 23, 2021 at 5:00 a.m. | UPDATED: August 27, 2021 at 7:08 a.m.
REHOVOT, Israel, June 23, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Better Juice, Ltd., the first company to reduce all sugars from natural juices, announces it has raised US$8M in seed-round investment. This new influx of support was led by iAngels, Israel and includes investors: Maverick Ventures, Israel; Food Tech Lab TFTL, Spain; The Kitchen Hub, Israel, as part of the Strauss Group and IIA; NEOME, Israel; Schestowitz Group, Israel; and Semillero, Puerto Rico.
The start-up's enzymatic technology uses all-natural ingredients to convert fructose, glucose, and sucrose into prebiotic dietary fibers and other non-digestible molecules. Reducing up to 80% of all sugars, Better Juice's non-GMO technology is designed to target orange juice's specific sugar composition to naturally create a low-calorie, reduced-sugar product with a delicate sweetness. Better Juice opened a pilot plant in January 2021, an important milestone in the startup's commercial scale-up timeline.
"We strongly believe in Better Juice's outstanding technology to lead the sugar reduction revolution in natural juices," says Mor Assia, CEO and founding partner of iAngels. "Better Juice's know-how and technology is perfectly in-line with our portfolio and vision of future, advanced impact technologies. The company has created exceptional partnerships with leading beverage companies and is paving the way to better-for-you products."
Better Juice will use the investment to build its first full-scale manufacturing plant in Israel to serve the growing demand. The high-tech plant will increase production capacity by 40-fold while generating up to US$50M sales annually. The company will use the funds to expand the sales and marketing teams to support its commercialization stage.
"We are excited to complete this investment round with the support of leading venture capital and CPG companies from around the globe," says Eran Blachinsky, PhD, founder and CEO of Better Juice. "This investment will enable us to accelerate our growth and expand into other product lines, such as ice cream, soft drinks, and jam."
"We are very proud of this achievement, which reflects the investors' trust in our technology," adds Gali Yarom, co-founder, COO, and VP of Business Development for Better Juice. "There is a significant need in the beverage industry to effectively reduce sugar and we anticipate bringing our solution to market in just a few months."
"I feel lucky to be involved in this journey since day one," notes Amir Zaidman, VP of The Kitchen Hub. "I am very impressed by the technological and commercial milestones achieved by Better Juice and the can-do attitude of its management. Over consumption of sugar is an enormous challenge for humanity. Better Juice is a key pillar in overcoming it."
About Better Juice
Better Juice was founded in 2018 by Eran Blachinsky, PhD, in collaboration with the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. The company was incubated in The Kitchen Hub – Strauss Group's foodtech and IIA incubator, and received early funding from Maverick Ventures, Israel and other global partners.

Cheryl Cole 'feels betrayed by Coyle'
Cheryl Cole is reportedly angry that Nadine Coyle has not contacted her since her marriage break-up.
By Catriona Wightman
Cheryl Cole reportedly feels betrayed by Nadine Coyle.
According to The People, Cole is disappointed that her Girls Aloud bandmate has not been in touch with her following her split from husband Ashley.
Coyle has said that she did contact Cole following the news but sources claimed that this was untrue. The group was reportedly also unhappy that Coyle had spoken about Cole in an interview.
"Cheryl feels completely betrayed by Nadine," an insider said. "She is hurt that she didn't hear from her after Ashley's cheating but she feels even more upset and angry that Nadine came out in public to insist that she had tried to get in touch with her."
The source continued: "The rest of the band are even more disgusted with Nadine's behaviour and are fully behind Cheryl. They have been together for seven years and have got a pact that they support one another through the tough times. The support and help Cheryl has had from the other girls has been tremendous but Nadine hasn't bothered.
"Not only has she not bothered but she has pretended to the band's fans that she has been a great friend and has been the one who has been shunned but that is complete rubbish."
The source also claimed that the band are questioning Coyle's commitment to Girls Aloud as she did not stay in touch with them while she was in Los Angeles.
"While she was away the other girls would never hear from her, which upset them as they have been through so much over the years," the insider said. "But now she has started speaking up, they've had it with her. They have realised that they will have to continue working with Nadine but at the moment they are not quite sure how they are going to do it."
However, a source close to Coyle said: "Nadine and Cheryl have been friends for years. She insists that she did make contact. Maybe it's a case of a misunderstanding, messages didn't get through or something like that."
Earlier reports have suggested that Girls Aloud are considering continuing without Coyle.

Barbara Baert (Turnhout, 1967) is een Belgisch gewoon hoogleraar verbonden aan de Onderzoeksgroep Kunstwetenschappen van de Faculteit Letteren aan de KU Leuven. Zij doceert in de vakgebieden van de beeldanalyse, iconologie, kunsttheorie en middeleeuwse kunst. In 2016 werd Baert gelauwerd met de prestigieuze Francquiprijs, die jaarlijks wordt toegekend door de Francqui-Stichting en beurtelings gaat naar een wetenschapper uit de humane, exacte en biologische-medische wetenschappen.

Loopbaan
Barbara Baert ontving haar doctoraat in 1997 met een studie over de Kruislegende in woord en beeld, dat in 2004 verscheen als A Heritage of Holy Wood: The Legend of the True Cross in Text and Image bij Brill Publishers. Als onderzoeker is Baert geaffilieerd aan het Illuminare: Centre for Medieval and Renaissance Art van de KU Leuven. In 2006 richtte Baert de Iconology Research Group (IRG) op – een internationaal en interdisciplinair platform voor de studie van de interpretatie van beelden. Het IRG-onderzoeksnetwerk wil de samenwerking tussen anthropologie visuelle, Bildwissenschaft en iconology bevorderen, en beschouwt deze drie als onderzoekstradities die gelijkaardige doelstellingen nastreven maar vaak afzonderlijke (meestal nationale) trajecten volgen.

Baert is hoofdredacteur van drie peer-reviewed tijdschriften:
Studies in Iconology (Peeters Publishers),
Art&Religion (Peeters Publishers)
Iconologies (ASP Editions).

Daarnaast leidde/leidt ze diverse, vaak interdisciplinaire, internationale onderzoeksprojecten, waaronder:
Mary Magdalene and the Touching of Jesus, an intra-and interdisciplinary investigation of the interpretation of John 20:17 (Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek, 2004-2008),
The Woman with the Hemorrhage (Matthew 9:20-22; Mark 5:24-34; Luke 8:42b-48), an iconological study of the interpretation of the Haemorrhoissa in medieval art (4th-15th century) (KU Leuven, 2008-2012)
Caput Ioanis in Disco. Object-medium-function (Fonds Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek, KU Leuven en Universität Wien, 2012-2016)
Ornamenta sacra. Iconology of liturgical objects (Belspo-Brain-be, UC Louvain en KIK/IRPA, 2017-2021)
Kairós, or the Right Moment. Nachleben and iconology (KU Leuven, 2018-2022)

Erkenningen en prijzen
Baert is lid van de Koninklijke Vlaamse Academie van België voor Wetenschappen en Kunsten en van de Academia Europaea. Zij ontving verscheidene prijzen en fellowships. In 1993 won zij de prijs van de "Koninklijke Academie voor Wetenschappen van België: Klasse Schone Kunsten" voor haar dissertatie Het Boec van den Houte.
In 2006 werd ze gelauwerd voor haar wetenschappelijke carrière voor de leeftijd van veertig door dezelfde academie.
 In 2015 was ze Fellow aan het Internationale Kolleg für Kulturtechnikforschung und Medienphilosophie (IKKM) te Weimar.
 In 2016 ontving ze de pioniersprijs van de KU Leuven, die wordt uitgereikt aan onderzoekers van wie het werk een nieuw onderzoekspad opent.
In datzelfde jaar ontving zij de ook Francquiprijs, ook de Belgische Nobelprijs genoemd, in de discipline van de Humane Wetenschappen. Deze prijs, die geldt als de hoogste wetenschappelijke onderscheiding in België, wordt toegekend door Koning Filip. Volgens de Francqui-jury behoort haar werk tot een waardevol oeuvre dat culturen, tijdsgrenzen en disciplines overstijgt.
In 2017 kreeg ze het ereteken van Commandeur in de Leopoldsorde.
In 2018 verbleef zij aan het Istituto di Studi Avanzati (ISA) van de Università di Bologna,
In 2019 was zij member aan het Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) te Princeton.
Baert was in 2020 fellow aan het Berlijnse Center for Advanced Studies Bildevidenz.
In 2021 was ze houder van de James Loeb Lecture aan het Zentralinstitut für Kunstgeschichte te München. Hier gaf ze op 8 december 2021 een lezing 'How Kairos transformed into Occasio (Grisaille, School of Mantegna, 1495-1510)' over het Kairos/Occasio motief. Met haar paper over hetzelfde motief werkte Baert een eerste volledige status quaestionis uit over de betekenis toegekend aan de grisaille, vanaf Aby Warburgs (1866-1929) eerste hypothese (in zijn Francesco Sassetti artikel) tot het heden.
In 2023 nam Barbara Baert de rol van Warburg-Professur voor het Warburg Haus te Hamburg op zich.
