Global Digital Health Investment Hit Record High In 2021
Healthtech is transforming health care through digital health. In record-breaking results, global healthtech has received $51.3billion in investment this year, marking new highs for venture capitalist interest in the sector and identifying London as the fastest growing healthtech hub globally.
The digital healthcare industry is growing rapidly. It's projected to serve 700% more consumers by 2022. This massive growth is in part due to the increasing popularity of healthtech throughout the corporate world. From meeting the needs of a healthier workforce to reducing costs, digital solutions offer a significant opportunity to be innovative across the entire enterprise.
The US leads globally with $31.9 billion (£23.7bn) in venture capital investment so far this year, with China's $4.1 billion (£3bn) occupying second place, and the UK coming in close behind at $3.8 billion (£2.8bn). The figures come from London promotional agency London & Partners and database management company Dealroom's annual report on digital health, telehealth, and healthtech investments.
Healthtech is transforming health care through digital health
The UK and Europe are leading the way with digital health and telehealth innovations. The most significant increase was seen in the UK, where digital health investment has risen by nine times (with US investment increasing by 3.4 times). London is the leading hub for healthtech investment over the last five years, with investment growing 11.1 times faster than in the Bay Area, New York and Boston.
The Golden Triangle of London, Oxford and Cambridge is home to 508 healthtech startups which have been receiving increasing interest from venture capitalists between 2016 and 2021. The majority (408) of these companies are London-based.
Healthtech is not the only sector that's receiving increased investment from VC's. The fastest growing subsector in London is remote monitoring and wearables, raising $345 million this year, up from $17 million in 2016. Other fast-growing healthtech subsectors in London include drug development with AI, home test start-ups and digital health insurance.
The growth of the Global tech sector in London is set to continue, with £256.4 million of funding being raised over the first nine months of 2017. This growth is due to innovative tech products, including remote patient monitoring and wearable tech, drawing investment from investors world-wide.
London is one of the biggest technology hubs in the world in healthcare and AI
London is one of the biggest technology hubs in the world with a particularly strong growth in healthcare and AI sectors. The technology world is evolving faster than ever. London-based companies are leading the way in emerging technology sectors by working with top universities, government policies, and attracting top talent to the city. Known for its transparency, London has become a hub for cutting-edge AI development since it received the highest number funding deals in Europe over the past decade.
The Financial Times' annual list of the Capital's fastest growing companies puts telehealth, autonomous vehicle testing, connected home technology, and blockchain applications at the top of the list.

Malcolm entered the bathroom and noticed: "MALCOLM MUST DIE" was scrawled in lipstick on the medicine cabinet mirror. He didn't react, since he couldn't read it. He opened the cabinet door and proceeded to fill a bag with toiletries as Edmond entered.
Malcolm was taken aback by the revelation but tried in vain to hide his expression.
Are you ready for some light-hearted fun? We've got a bunch of characters loaded with problems to make you feel pretty darn good about your own life.
Sort of a Les Miserables with guns, criminals and folks with particularly bad luck.
The main character is a muscular black man who can't read, and then we've got a guy who's in the process of going blind who has come to the conclusion that the black guy had inadvertently killed his parents.
There's another character who is a former police officer who has a devastating facial deformity. On the lighter side there are a bunch of gang members who enjoy Pulp Fiction-style banter before they all end up dead.
An unwed black girl who has her baby taken away from her and forced into prostitution is the comic relief. All of the events start on Friday, December 13th, 2013 after a terrorist attack in Chicago that resulted in the perpetrator getting away with $5 million in Guatemalan bearer bonds.
Then we roll into Christmas where the only present the characters receive is lump of coal in their throats.


Classic Feats Updated and Reimagined for Starfinder!
This volume features a collection of forty feats for the Starfinder Roleplaying Game, each of which was either converted from or inspired by one of the feats found in Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Advanced Player's Guide. The final installment in a four-part series, these books convert or reimagine each and every feat from that book, making old and beloved tactics and options available to Starfinder characters.

First-Person Narrative Goes "Beyond Rape"
The latest Narrative Digest from the Nieman Foundation of Journalism at Harvard University highlights one of the most remarkable narratives of any month. "Beyond Rape: A Survivor's Journey" was published in a 16-page special section of the Cleveland Plain Dealer in May. In its 20,000 word first-person narrative, Joanna Connors does what her headline claims: going far beyond her experience in a darkened theater, 23 years ago, to confront the uncomfortable, human complexity of not only her own journey, but her rapist's.
As Connors told the Narrative Digest in an interview:
"That I was a victim was random, of course, a matter of bad luck and bad timing. That he was a criminal and a rapist was not random; he was the product of a cycle of violence. The piece turned into a story of what parents pass on to our children, and about the immense privilege of birth that we on this side of the boundary take for granted."
Or, as she writes in part 1, after a taut narrative of the moments leading up to her assault:
"[This story] is about rape. It is about race and class. And it is about our community -- our line-in-the-sand combativeness over these issues, and our stubborn and fearful reluctance to talk about them.
I needed to tell my story, and I think our community needs to see, and talk about, the huge barriers between the haves and the have-nots."
The Narrative Digest's interview with Connors provides more insight into the "how" and "why," and a column in Editor and Publisher details the outpouring of readers' reactions.

Kelly McNagny awarded national mentorship award for 2021
By Reyhana Heatherington | November 3, 2021
Dr. Kelly McNagny has been awarded a 2021 Michelle Harkness Mentorship Excellence Award (MHMA) for an established academic researcher.
Dr. McNagny, a professor in the faculty of medicine's department of medical genetics, is one of the exemplars of mentorship excellence from across the country who are being recognized with MHMA awards, which are presented by AllerGen Inc.
Dr. Kelly McNagny
Dr. McNagny, also a Senior Scholar of the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, says the award is very meaningful.
"Michelle Harkness was the Trainee Coordinator for Canadian AllerGen Network Centre of Excellence," he says. "She was one of the most tireless, selfless, caring, and above all, empathetic, people I've ever known. Receiving this award in her name, and through a nomination by my own present and past trainees, makes it the most valuable award I've received in my career – truly priceless."
Michael Hughes, a UBC faculty of medicine research associate and one of the people who nominated Dr. McNagny for the award, values his mentor's impact on young scientists.
"Undergraduates seek out a research position in Dr. McNagny's lab after experiencing his passionate class lectures. Everyone wants to be in an environment where their work is valued. I don't think I could find a more supportive, creative or fulfilling environment," Hughes said. "When trainees leave the lab, Dr. McNagny continues to support their development through collaborative scientific research and training."
MHMA recognition awards are bestowed upon Canadian allergy and immunology researchers, practitioners and advocates who are nominated by their peers and/or mentees, and whose mentorship contributions are adjudicated by mentorship practitioners. MHMA mentorship development grants support relevant training or experiential activities undertaken by aspiring mentors in the Canadian allergy and immunology community.
"Every year, the MHMA awards remind us of the value of role models in our lives, and they lead us to appreciate the generosity and goodwill of those who make the extra effort to help others to thrive and achieve their best," said AllerGen's president and CEO, Dr. Diana Royce in a release. "Again this year, our MHMA recipients truly do justice to Michelle's ideals. We congratulate and thank them all!"
A version of this story originally appeared on the AllerGen website.


SHOUTS OUT TO YOU FOR TAKING CARE OF YOURSELF ON THIS HEALING JOURNEY!
No, this doesn't mean we're not happy for you nor does it mean we have ill wishes towards your little one. It's just a reminder and sometimes, that's a hard pill to swallow even on our best days.
See above. We also may come but end up only staying a short period of time. It's not personal. It just may be all the emotional energy we can muster up to stay for that hour or two.
Others may forget, but we simply can't. We always remember what was happening for us on that day. Even if we're not conscious of it, our bodies often remember and remind us.
There may be days when we're good to talk. Other times, we may get choked up as memories and grief rise to the surface. Ultimately, we will usually be ok once we get out the tears or breathe past the tightness in our chests.
Some days we feel well equipped to engage with the world. Other days… not so much. We may be on autopilot, we may be grumpy or distant. It's just a tough day. We all have them and sometimes even for less significant reasons.
We've been over and over this in our brains y'all. Even if we have a medical reason for the loss, making sense of why this horrible thing happened is a very elusive concept. Some people have made peace with it, others never will.
We might have a new job, a new boo, new living children, a new sense of self even. But guess what? That newness doesn't negate our past and when it appears to, it is too often an attempt at ignoring or masking the pain. That's not sustainable and even if it's not completely obvious to the loss parent, it's obvious to the people around them that they are running away from pain.
I haven't done a "7 gems" post in a while so, you're welcome! Share with anyone you think doesn't seem to understand where you may be emotionally. Know your triggers, continue working to manage them so they don't control you. It's ok if it's still hard. You're still here and this walk is one of the greatest displays of strength I've ever witnessed <3.

Pakistani journalist interviewed a buffalo
This Pakistani journalist interviewed a buffalo and even got an answer
Enayet Karim 11:34:00 AM
We live in strange times of journalism and after watching this video you'll probably believe it. Recently, a Pakistani reporter decided to report the death of humanitarian Abdul Sattar Edhi lying down in his grave and here is another reporter who thought it's wise to interview cattle to substantiate his report.
Geo News reporter Amin Hafeez, who is famous for his reporting skills as 'funny' on social media, was reporting on how cattle in Lahore are using the foot over bridge to cross the otherwise busy road as opposed to humans who risk their lives crossing the road as it is.
In the video, that Hafeez shared on his Facebook page, he can be seen interviewing buffaloes asking them whether they find using the foot over bridge easy or difficult. Buffaloes being buffaloes moo-ed and, in a snap, he understood what they're trying to say. "They're probably saying that it's not easy for any animal to climb the stairs," he says. And there are people who've commented that it's a good package.
Well, it's really interesting to see cows and buffaloes climbing the stairs and using the foot over bridge like it's no big deal for them.

Civilian Allegedly Lived at Fort Bragg Special Forces Barracks
Military.com | By Richard Sisk
Fort Bragg authorities are investigating how a civilian apparently used phony ID to get access to the North Carolina base and live there for months at the barracks of the 3rd Special Forces Group.
The Fayetteville Observer newspaper reported Thursday that a spokesman for the 3rd SFG confirmed that a civilian with a fake Common Access Card (CAC) had been found living in a room at a temporary barracks and his presence had been reported to the base Provost Marshall's office.
It was not immediately known if the man had been taken into custody, or whether charges were filed, but the popular Facebook account "U.S. Army W.T.F. Moments" posted a photo showing a man in civilian clothes apparently being handcuffed.
The Facebook posting said the man allegedly got away with the ruse and lived for months at the barracks by claiming he was a demolitions expert who was attending a top-secret school at the base.

Brainly raises $80M as its platform for crowdsourced homework help balloons to 350M users
Ingrid Lunden
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a major upswing in virtual learning -- where some schools have gone (and stayed) remote, and others have incorporated significantly stronger online components in order to help communities maintain more social distancing. That has in turn led to a surge in the usage of tools to help home learners do their work better, and today, one of them is announcing a growth round that speaks to the opportunity in that market.
Brainly, a startup from Poland that has built a popular network for students and their parents to engage with each other for advice and help with homework questions, has raised $80 million, a series D that it will be using both to continue building out the tools that it offers to students as well as to home in on expansion in some key emerging markets such as Indonesia and Brazil. The news comes on the heels of dramatic growth for the company, which has seen its user base grow from 150 million users in 2019 to 350 million today.
The funding is being led by previous backer Learn Capital, with past investors Prosus Ventures, Runa Capital, MantaRay and General Catalyst Partners also participating. The company has now raised some $150 million and while it's not disclosing valuation, CEO and co-founder Michał Borkowski confirmed it is "definitely" an up round for the company. For more context, PitchBook estimates that the company was valued at $180 million in its last round, a Series C of $30 million in 2019.
Brainly, a crowdsourced homework helper for students, raises $30M to expand in the US
That C round was raised specifically to help Brainly grow in the U.S. It currently has some 30 million users in that market, and it happens to be the only one in which Brainly is monetising users. Everywhere else, Brainly is currently free to use. (In the U.S. there are also some formidable competitors, like Chegg, which has strong traction in the market of helping students with homework, with some 74% of Chegg's user spend concentrated in that one single country.)
"Brainly has become one of the world's largest learning communities, achieving significant organic growth in over 35 countries," said Vinit Sukhija, partner at Learn Capital, in a statement.
Image: Brainly
Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, Brainly was finding an audience with students -- primarily those aged 13-19, said Borkowski -- who were turning to the service to connect with people who could help them with homework when they found themselves at an impasse with, say, a math problem or getting to grips with the sequence of events that led to the revolutions of 1848. The platform is open-ended and is a little like a Quora for homework, in that people can find and answer questions they are interested in, as well as ask questions themselves.
That platform, however, took on a whole new dimension of importance with the shift to virtual learning, Borkowski said.
"In the western world, online education wasn't a big investment area [pre-COVID] and that has changed a lot, with huge adoption by students, parents and teachers," he said. "But that big transition, switching from offline to online, has left kids struggling because teachers have so much more to do, so they can't engage in the same way."
So with "homework" becoming "all work", that has effectively led to needing more help than ever with home studies. And while many parents have tried to get more involved to make up the difference, "having parents as teachers has been hard," he added. They may have been taught differently from how their kids are learning, or they don't remember or know answers.
One thing that Brainly started to see, he said, was that with the pandemic more parents started using the app alongside students, either to work out answers together or to get the help themselves before helping their kids, with a number of these being from parents of kids younger than 13. He said that 15-20% of all new registrations currently are coming from parents.
Brainly up to now has been mainly focused on how to build out more tools for the students -- and now parents -- that use it, and has so far been about organic growth for those communities.
However, there is clearly scope to expand that to more educational stakeholders to better organise what kind of questions are answered and how. Borkowski said that the company has indeed been approached by educators, those building curriculums and others so that answers might tie in better with the kinds of questions that they are most likely to ask of students, although for now the company "wants to keep the focus on students and parents getting stuck."
In terms of future products, Brainly is looking at ways of bringing more tutoring, video and AI into the mix. The AI aspect is very interesting and will in fact tie in to wider curriculum coverage based on more localised needs.
For example, if you ask for help with a particular kind of quadratic equation technique, you can then be served lots of same practice questions to help better learn and apply what you've just been learning, and you might even then get suggested related topics that will appear alongside that in a wider mathematics examination. And, you might be offered the chance to meet with a tutor for further help.
Tutoring, he said, is something that Brainly has already been quietly piloting and has run some 150,000 sessions to date. Having such a large user base, Borkowski said, helps the startup run services at scale while still effectively keeping them in test mode.
"It will be about looking at what students are studying and how to map that to the curriculum in the country, and what we can do to help with that." Borkowski said. "But it will require a heavy lift and machine learning to pinpoint students" for it to work properly, which is one reason it has yet to roll it out more comprehensively, he added.
Tutoring and more personalization are not the only areas where Brainly is actively testing out new services.
The company is also creating more space for adding video to demonstrate different techniques (which I suspect is especially good for something like mathematics, but equally helpful for, say, an art technique). This is presumably in part based on a 2018 acquisition the startup made to bring on more video tools, which underscores in some ways how deliberate Brainly's expansion strategy has been.
There are "thousands per week" being added already, but as with tutoring "that, for us, is a testing stage," added Borkowski. There should be more coming in Q1 about new products, he said.

("Fairmount Santrol") (OTC: CVIAQ) (NYSE: CVIA, FMSA) securities between March 15, 2016 and June 29, 2020, inclusive (the "Class Period"). If you suffered a loss on your Covia investments or would like to inquire about potentially pursuing claims to recover your loss under the federal securities laws, you can submit your contact information at https://www.glancylaw.com/cases/covia-holdings-corporation/.

Covia provides minerals and materials solutions for the industrial and energy markets, including producing proprietary sand for use in fracking. On March 22, 2019, after the market closed, the Company disclosed that it had "received a subpoena from the SEC seeking information relating to certain value-added proppants marketed and sold by Fairmount Santrol or Covia within the Energy segment since January 1, 2014." On this news, the Company's share price fell $0.45, or 7%, to close at $6.05 per share on March 25, 2019, thereby injuring investors. Then, on November 6, 2019, during market hours, Covia disclosed that "the SEC ha[d] requested additional information and subpoenaed certain current and former employees to testify." On this news, the Company's share price fell $0.07, or 4.3%, to close at $1.56 per share on November 6, 2019, thereby injuring investors further. Then, on June 29, 2020, after the market closed, the Company announced that it had filed for petitions under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On June 30, 2020, the NYSE delisted the Company, stating in relevant part that "the Company is no longer suitable for listing . . . after the Company's June 29, 2020 disclosure that the Company filed voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code." On this news, the Company's share price fell $0.18, or more than 37%, between the closing price on NYSE and resuming trading OTC on July 1, 2020 at $0.30 per share. The complaint filed in this class action alleges that throughout the Class Period, Defendants made materially false and/or misleading statements, as well as failed to disclose material adverse facts about the Company's business, operations, and prospects. Specifically, Defendants failed to disclose to investors that: (1) Covia's proprietary "value-added" proppants were not necessarily more effective than ordinary sand; (2) Covia's revenues, which were dependent on its proprietary "value-added" proppants, was based on misrepresentations; (3) when Covia insiders raised this issue, defendants did not take meaningful steps to rectify the issue; and (4) as a result, Defendants' positive statements about the Company's business, operations, and prospects were materially misleading and/or lacked a reasonable basis at all relevant times. Follow us for updates on LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook. If you purchased or otherwise acquired Covia securities during the Class Period, you may move the Court no later than February 8, 2021 to request appointment as lead plaintiff in this putative class action lawsuit.

Decentralized insurance provider Bridge Mutual has reached an agreement with DeFi aggregator PlasmaPay and Plasma Finance. Bridge Mutual Decentralized insurance provider Bridge Mutual has reached an agreement with DeFi aggregator PlasmaPay and Plasma Finance. SHERIDAN, Wyoming, Jan. 20, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Decentralized insurance provider Bridge Mutual has reached an agreement with DeFi aggregator PlasmaPay and Plasma Finance, allowing both projects to work in close collaboration. With this partnership, Plasma Finance users will be able to directly fund or provide liquidity to Bridge Mutual using the Plasma Finance platform and Bridge ecosystem. In return, Bridge Mutual has pledged to use some of its own liquidity to jumpstart a PlasmaPay insurance pool and integrate shield mining for PlasmaPay so that users providing coverage to the PlasmaPay pool may earn PPAY tokens as a reward. This results in an increased number of participants for Bridge Mutual's decentralised insurance platform, while providing further safety for PlasmaPay and Plasma Finance users. PlasmaPay has a proven track record of attracting users from both cryptocurrency and non-cryptocurrency areas by providing an easy to use fiat ramp. The existing user base and ease of entry provided by PlasmaPay will make way for Bridge Mutual's insurance product to be widely available for purchase. On the flip side, PlasmaPay's users can enjoy additional benefits provided by Bridge Mutual. "The main focus of our partnerships is to increase the overall safety of the DeFi space by encouraging users to protect each other. Partnering with PlasmaPay was strategic in that users will be able to easily purchase or provide insurance directly from the Plasma Finance app where they manage all of their assets. In turn, we will make sure that Plasma Pay has an insurance pool ready to go for our launch event," said Mike Miglio, CEO of Bridge Mutual. "This partnership will give both organizations the ability to expand operations into the other's platform, a net benefit for two strong projects looking to optimize the DeFi market as a whole. Ease of use and access to insurance ultimately benefits users. By working together, Bridge Mutual and Plasma Finance take DeFi a step forward towards more reliable financial services on the blockchain," said Ilia Maksimenka, CEO of PlasmaPay. About Plasma Finance Plasma Finance is a DeFi platform and dashboard that aggregates all of the most popular DeFi applications in one place. With the goal of simplifying the DeFi market for its users and eliminating some aspects regarding DeFi barriers to entry, Plasma Finance is working to become a cornerstone of the DeFi economy. PlasmaPay is a blockchain protocol developed by Plasma Finance, allowing for fast and efficient cross border payment opportunities for all users. About Bridge Mutual Bridge Mutual is a decentralized, discretionary p2p/p2b insurance platform that provides coverage for stablecoins, centralized exchanges, and smart contracts. Its platform allows users to provide insurance coverage, decide on insurance payouts, as well as get compensated for taking part in the ecosystem. Having vastly oversubscribed in its private sale, Bridge Mutual's token, $BMI, is primed to have an explosive TGE on January 30th, 2021.

The adverse economic effects caused by the COVID-19 pandemic have been particularly hard on real estate investment trusts (REITs). The retail REITs have been hammered by store closures and declining foot traffic. Many in the mortgage REIT space had a near-death experience.
Bank of Canada Holds Rates Amid Optimism for Vaccine Rebound
(Bloomberg) -- The Bank of Canada held interest rates unchanged and reiterated its commitment to keep them at historical lows to support an economy hit by a second wave of Covid-19 cases and lockdowns.In a decision Wednesday from Ottawa, policy makers led by Governor Tiff Macklem held the bank's overnight rate at 0.25% and reiterated a pledge not to raise borrowing costs before damage from the pandemic is fully repaired, something the central bank doesn't expect will happen until 2023. The bank also recommitted to buying Canadian government bonds worth at least C$4 billion ($3.1 billion) a week as part of those efforts, though it indicated it could pare purchases back once the recovery regains its footing.It was a stand-pat decision, with the central bank holding off from making any policy changes until there's greater clarity on the evolution of the virus and the effectiveness of the vaccine. Still, officials appear to be optimistic about the economy's prospects, with no indication they are planning additional measures."In view of the weakness of near-term growth and the protracted nature of the recovery, the Canadian economy will continue to require extraordinary monetary policy support," policy makers said. "The Governing Council will hold the policy interest rate at the effective lower bound until economic slack is absorbed so that the 2% inflation target is sustainably achieved. In our projection, this does not happen until into 2023."A series of offsetting developments in recent weeks have kept the central bank on the sidelines.A second wave of Covid-19 cases has forced officials to impose strict measures on businesses and social gatherings that the Bank of Canada is predicting will produce an economic contraction in the first quarter of this year. The nation's recovery also risks being hampered by a strengthening currency and a pick-up in market interest rates.The Canadian dollar extended gains following the decision, up 0.8% to C$1.2627 against the U.S. dollar at 10:18 a.m. in Toronto trading. The yield on government 10-year bonds rose 3 basis points to 0.84%.The tone in the statement was widely expected, though some analysts had been warning Macklem could be tempted to make a case for additional steps to buffer the economy from the downturn, such as a micro-rate-cut that would bring the policy rate closer to zero."I never really bought into the mini-rate-cut idea as it doesn't provide too much extra stimulus against the near-term headwinds the economy faces," Simon Harvey, a foreign exchange market analyst at Monex Canada, said by email.The bank made more substantive changes in October, when it reduced the size of its bond purchases but pledged to buy more long-term securities. The central bank uses its bond purchases to suppress longer-term interest rates. Policy makers said Wednesday they would continue their quantitative easing program until the recovery "is well underway," though the pace of purchases will slow as they gain confidence in the recovery.They also downplayed any worries that all this extraordinary stimulus could drive up inflation. In the statement, officials said economic slack is expected to weigh on price pressures.At the same time, despite near-term risks, the central bank revised higher its longer-term outlook for the economy amid a faster-than-expected vaccine rollout.(Updates with comment on paring back asset purchases in second paragraph)For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.


The Hatch 7 Plus Finatic Gen 2 fly reel is the product of Hatch Outdoor's passion for their reels and anglers. Your bass, bonefish, muskie, permit, pike, salmon, steelhead, and striper reel designed for 7-9 weight lines. While Hatch had a tried and true reel in the first Finatic series, they kept their ear to the water. Feedback from proven guides, anglers and shops was the greatest influence on the performance and aesthetic enhancements of the Finatic Gen 2. Let's get right into it. The Gen 2 is lighter than the first Finatic series. Increasing frame windows from 7 to 9, and concaving the surface inside the frame spearheaded this weight loss effort. By concaving the arms and adding two extras Hatch is able to eliminate unnecessary weight without sacrificing strength.

Back in the early 1980's, Dominoes was the only pizza chain available in the Colorado area. A longtime employee, Vince Schmuhi, decided the market was in dire need for more options regarding pizza. In 1983, he opened Blackjack Pizza to appease consumers. Trying to make it corporate, Vince continued to open stores and by 1986, had 6 corporate stores and one franchise in operation. The slogan, "Better Pizza, Better Price" originated when comparing Blackjack Pizza to Dominoes. The service and delivery is just as fasdt, but nothing compares to quality and cost.
The first location opened in Federal Heights found in the Rocky Mountain Region of Colorado. Within 6 years, more pizzerias were established to occupy the Denver Metro Area. As of today, there are 45 stores within five states; Colorado, Arizona, Wyoming, Utah, and Montana.
The pizza itself can be easily compared to popular chains. The food resembles the quality and is worth trying if you're seeking something quick. The prices are relatively cheap and merit the pie that you'll receive. I do, however, compliment Blackjack Pizza for their Cinnamon Pie; it's by far one of the best I have ever had.

The History of Lamborghini, sexy and exclusive
Written by Admin on June 15, 2019
The entire mystic of the Lamborghini revolves around Ferruccio Lamborghini. He made his dream and inspiration come true. Thanks to his determination, he succeeded.
A history of this exclusive brand
The parents of Ferruccio were farmers. He was born in Renazzo on April 28, 1916. He always loved mechanics and technology. Indeed, he had no desire to follow in his parent's footsteps. He studied technology in Bologna. When he graduated, he put his knowledge to work during WWII.
When the war ended, Ferruccio returned home. He began purchasing old military vehicles and converting them into tractors. In fact, these vehicles were difficult to find. The business exploded. So, he bought a workshop in Cento, in 1948. There, he produced the company's tractors. By 1959, Ferruccio extended his enterprise to include air conditioners and burners.
The business owner always loved helicopters. So, he began producing them. This venture came to an abrupt halt when the government rejected his license. That's when he started focusing on cars. His decision would change the automobile industry forever.
Finally, the automobiles
In 1963, Lamborghini opened an automobile factory in Sant' Agata. One year later, the first cars launched. But, in 1972, the manufacturer experienced a crisis. In fact, the worldwide recession and the oil embargo hit the Italia giant. To survive, Ferruccio sold 51% of its share to entrepreneur Georges Henri Rosetti. Two years later, he sold the remaining 49% to Rene Leimer. Still, shareholders were reluctant to invest. And suppliers were worried.
However, the company managed to survive.
Facing difficulties
The worst year for Lamborghini was 1977. The company invested its hopes and money into an off-road vehicle. Unfortunately, it didn't sell. Another mistake was a contract with BMW to produce a series of sports cars. BMW pulled the plug on the contract in 1978.
At this point Lamborghini went into receivership. Hence, it was handed over to Bolognese Commercial Law expert, Alessandro Artese. He teamed up with Lamborghini technical director, Guilio Alfieri and salesman Sgarzi. The team was able to pursue new shareholders.
The Company remained open while in receivership. Its clients were loyal, the employees were determined, and the distributors were supportive. In July 1980, the Company was sold by the Bologna Court to Mimran Brothers. The new searched skilled workers and they invested in new products and factories.
Vintage Lamborghini via.
Growing & Organizing
Between 1984 and 1986, improvements led to new growth. The growth was so rapid that private investors weren't enough anymore. The company needed the backing from a large corporation. The ideal choice was Chrysler. Chrysler asked Mimran Brothers for total share capital. They agreed and signed on April 23, 1987.
Restructured
Lamborghini underwent a huge restructuring. Mr. Emile Novaro became President. Funds were invested to increase production. The Countach model was replaced wit the Diablo. Diablo sales soared and reached their peak in 1991.
However, this stroke of good luck didn't last long. The recession hit automobile companies hard. Lamborghini's profits plummeted.
Lamborghini Reorganizes
This new crisis prompted Lamborghini to look at third party mechanical machining. Furthermore, they developed and produced a marine engine and an electric vehicle. They introduced the Diablo VT in March 1993. Furthermore, in September 1993, the Diablo Special Edition was released to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of the company.
Chrysler Sells
Chrysler Corporation sold Lamborghini to Mega Tech in January 1994. Later the same year, Lamborghini won the Class 1 World Off-Shore championship.
Lamborghini and Audi shareholders reached an agreement that gave Audi complete control. Finally, the new era of Lamborghini was born.

SEC Issues Order Granting First Whistleblower Award. However, the Dearth of Information Disclosed Provides Little Guidance for Practitioners.
August 27, 2012 Ben Chapple Leave a comment
This post is authored by Luke M. Scheuer, Assistant Professor of Law:
Last week, a host of online media sites reported that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") issued an order granting the first payment under a new whistleblower program authorized by the Dodd-Frank Act. The program allows the SEC to reward whistleblowers who provide information that leads to sanctions of $1M or more.
The order and accompanying press release issued by the SEC are notable in that they provide virtually no information about the underlying case, and are therefore of little to no practical use to attorneys advising potential defendants or whistleblowers. The SEC has an interest in protecting the identity of whistleblowers, as they provide information that allows the SEC to prevent and prosecute cases of corporate fraud. If the identity of a whistleblower is revealed, it will naturally make future whistleblowers reluctant to come forward. In addition, the SEC is prohibited under federal law from disclosing information that might reasonably reveal a whistleblower's identity. Thus, the SEC must balance the need to protect the anonymity of whistleblowers against the need for public disclosure and promotion of the program if it wants the program to be a success.
Although the press release and order do not provide details of the underlying case, the press release states that the SEC has collected $150,000 in sanctions, and that the whistleblower has received a $50,000 award. Under the program, the SEC can award anywhere from 10 to 30 percent of total sanctions collected. By giving the whistleblower the highest possible monetary award of 30% in this case, the SEC seems to be sending a message that they are fully committed to the program and want to encourage other whistleblowers to come forward. The whistleblower may receive an even larger award if the SEC is successful in collecting more in this case.
Although there are laws protecting whistleblowers against retaliation, their effectiveness is limited. SEC Rule 21F-17 bars any person from taking "any action to impede an individual from communicating directly with the Commission staff about possible securities law violations." Nevertheless, if outed, whistleblowers will have a hard time remaining in their job, as colleagues will view them with suspicion. The consequences of not protecting the whistleblower's anonymity can be seen in the sad case of Peter Sivere who provided information to the SEC about his employer JPMorgan, only to have an SEC attorney inform JPMorgan of Sivere's actions and provide JPMorgan confidential information received from Sivere that could be used in an employment action against Sivere. Despite the fact that the SEC admitted that its attorney had engaged in this conduct, in clear violation of SEC rules, the SEC decided to take no action against its attorney. Sivere ended up being pushed out of his job by JPMorgan after it learned of his whistleblowing. More can be read about the Sivere incident here. Perhaps, the lack of information in this recent whistleblower case is a necessary reaction to the Sivere incident.
Although whistleblower anonymity is critical to the success of the program, the lack of disclosure in this case is frustrating to practitioners advising potential defendants and whistleblowers. The SEC stated that the whistleblower "provided documents and other significant information that allowed the SEC's investigation to move at an accelerated pace and prevent the fraud from ensnaring additional victims." The SEC also denied an award to a second whistleblower because "the information provided did not lead to or significantly contribute to the SEC's enforcement action." The order provides no other details that distinguish the two cases, or that might help attorneys advise their clients on the possibility they can collect an award for whistleblowing. We know nothing about the timing of the tip, how crucial the whistleblower's information was, or whether the whistleblower had clean hands for example. Without this kind of information, attorneys cannot use the case as a basis on which to advise clients, whether whistleblowers or potential defendants, on where they are likely to fall within this program. This may be a necessary sacrifice for the reward program to work, but it seems to indicate a lack of faith in the effectiveness of whistleblower protection laws.

In India-China military talks, 2 Indian lieutenant generals to hold fort

China's international flight suspensions leave travellers stranded, hurt businesses
Corps commander-ranked officers from the two armies have so far met five times but failed to break the deadlock in the Ladakh sector, which has seen a significant military build-up by both sides
A view of Pangong Tso lake in Ladakh region is seen in this file photo.

Two Indian lieutenant generals are among the military commanders taking part in the corps commander-level talks between India and China on Monday, officials familiar with the developments said. Apart from Lieutenant General Harinder Singh, the second three-star officer will be Lieutenant General PGK Menon, who will be a representative of the army headquarters, the officials said.
Menon is set to replace Singh as the commander of the Leh-based 14 Corps soon as the latter will be completing his term next month. Singh has been leading the military talks with China to reduce border tensions. He took charge of the corps in October 2019.
The military dialogue at Moldo on the Chinese side of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) across the Chushul sector will also, for the first time, involve the participation of a joint secretary-ranked officer from the ministry of external affairs as a step to ensure that the talks yield a positive outcome, the officials said, requesting anonymity. The Working Mechanism for Consultation and Coordination (WMCC) on border affairs, the diplomatic dialogue between the two countries, involves a representative of the Indian defence ministry.
Indian, China troops exchanged gunshots twice last week as tensions rose
Corps commander-ranked officers from the two armies have so far met five times but failed to break the deadlock in the Ladakh sector, which has seen a significant military build-up by both sides.
The Indian Air Force (IAF) is operating its Rafale fighter jets in the Ladakh theatre where the military is on its highest state of alert amid heightened border tensions with China. IAF's current fleet of five Rafale fighters is fully operational and ready to undertake any mission, the officials cited above said.
A high-powered panel on China reviewed the latest developments in the Ladakh sector last week, with a focus on charting the course of future negotiations to restore status quo ante of mid-April along the contested Line of Actual Control (LAC). The agenda for Monday's military talks between Indian and Chinese corps commander-ranked officers was discussed at the high-level meeting, even as the situation in Ladakh remains tense after a series of recent manoeuvres by the two armies in the Pangong Tso area.
The meeting of Indian and Chinese corps commander-ranked officers will be their first after the Indian Army swiftly moved and occupied a series of key heights to prevent the People's Liberation Army (PLA) from grabbing Indian territory on the southern bank of Pangong Tso in a stealthy midnight move on August 29.
The ridgeline positions on the southern bank of Pangong Tso is now controlled by the Indian Army and that allows it to completely dominate the sector and keep an eye on Chinese military activity, with the positions scattered across Rezang La, Reqin pass, Gurung Hill and Magar heights.
The Indian Army has also taken control of key heights overlooking the PLA's deployments on the Finger 4 ridgeline on the northern bank of Pangong Tso where rival soldiers are deployed barely a few hundred metres from each other, as reported by Hindustan Times on September 10.
Indian and Chinese troops have come face-to-face at multiple points along the LAC since the tensions began in early May. In some of these areas, particularly the Finger Area and Depsang, Indian forces have been cut off from reaching forward areas they could previously patrol.
