Other workforce cuts will be implemented across the digital organization and the company will trim various budgets, including some travel, to further reduce costs. It will also slash its dedicated audio unit, as well as the Vice World News short form video team. The company will sunset the Vice World News brand and fold its operations under the Vice News umbrella, giving the company a singular news brand. The restructuring will have major implications on news teams at Vice Media. The exact number of jobs impacted by the changes, however, was not clear. The cuts will result in dozens of employees losing their jobs, people familiar with the matter told CNN, with the company’s Washington, D.C., bureau being hit particularly hard. “In response to the current market conditions and business realities facing and the broader news and media industry, we are moving forward on some painful but necessary reductions, primarily across our News business,” co-chief executives Bruce Dixon and Hozefa Lokhandwala announced in a memo to employees.ĭixon and Lokhandwala, who stressed that news is “core” to the larger company and that it will not “exit” the business, added, “We are transforming Vice News to better withstand market realities and more closely align with how and where we see our audiences engaging with our content most.” Vice Media will cancel its acclaimed program “Vice News Tonight” as part of a broad restructuring that will result in painful cuts across the organization, the company said Thursday.

You’ve got to take care of your neighbour.” The weather is expected to worsen, and “might get pretty gnarly here,” he said.Īfter the storm, he said he and co-workers at a trucking company will help people clean up. The bar was packed, and country music blared.ĭre Yepes said he came to the bar after securing his home with shutters - on top of impact glass because he was “trying to keep from being stir crazy.” “This is a hurricane party,” Thomas Johnson said with a beer in his hand. Unlike some towns in northern Florida that shut off alcohol sales for the storm lead-up, it was flowing freely at Charlie’s, motto: “No working during drinking hours.”Ī “weather station” sign summed up the situation: “All conditions are ideal for drinking!” “We have generators and beer,” the sign welcomed. Every parking spot was filled, mostly with pickup trucks. The streets were all but empty in Stuart, but business was booming at Charlie’s Neighbourhood Bar & Grill. The wait-and-see attitude seemed pervasive, even in areas where the storm is projected to impact with strong winds. She said that the preparation by the state has calmed her nerves a bit. She just moved to Deerfield Beach from Ocean City, Maryland. Standing farther from the sand, and back on the boardwalk where people strolled as businesses and homes that were shuttered up was Carla Manna. Then he paused and looked out at the water once more. Still, Paveo said he didn’t expect anything more than some rain and heavy wind. Together they have survived Hurricane Wilma and Katrina, but Dorian would be their first Category 5. Paveo said they live down the street from the beach. The pair walked slow, stopping to shoot pictures of the water and the curling sky. Most of the people gathered there kept to the sand, such as Nelder Paveo and Jackie Moreno. Kalashinkov was one of a couple dozen surfers braving the waters on Deerfield Beach. “We don’t get much waves here in Florida,” Kalashinkov said. “It looks like there is no Bahamas left,” he said.ĭeeming it still safe enough to trek out in Deerfield early Monday, he took advantage of the waves and getting at least three hours of surf in. He woke up earlier in the morning to videos on Instagram of the storm and the way it chewed up houses and cars. Kalashinkov said he was aware of the destruction Hurricane Dorian was ravaging on the Bahamas not far away. Since Kalashinkov moved to Florida in 2001, he’s been surfing every storm to hit South Florida. He stretched in the sand, his surfboard next to his toes. “The day right before the storm and the day right after the storm are some of the biggest swells,” Kalashinkov said with a grin. But that only seemed to excite the people gathered. Sure, there were ominous grey clouds overhead and waves crashing against the sand. FORT LAUDERDALE, FLA.-On a windy pier in Deerfield Beach on Monday morning, it was hard to tell that a monster hurricane was a little over a hundred miles away ravaging the island of the Bahamas. 12/31/2023 0 Comments Cute white out outfitsSince the outfit was primarily white, I added some colorful beaded sandals and a suede fringe bag, making the outfit slightly Bohemian. I chose to pair them with a white flowy top and then finished it off with a light-wash denim jacket since it was a bit chilly in Santa Monica that day. In this second cute and casual white shorts outfit, I wore an adorable pair of white crocheted shorts, which can be dressed up or dressed down. A colorful pair of beaded sandals would also look great. They worked so well because of the significant contrast between them and the white shorts. The paisley printed boat shoes were the perfect finishing touch. (You could also pair the outfit with a loosely knit scoop or V-neck sweater or even a white denim jacket!) I also had a blue denim jacket that matches the color of the chambray tank because it was a little cold when we arrived at the beach early in the morning. Both are for practical purposes: the hat helps to keep the intense sun off my face, and bare shoulders and the purse carries everything I need for a summer day. I added a summer straw hat and mini crossbody to complete the outfit. The chambray tank is a halter style with a pretty crisscross back that also has a relaxed and loose vibe. They are perfect for an afternoon of shopping and a seaside lunch or dinner. These white shorts have a very relaxed vibe, and they are neither too dressy or too casual. They also have cute cuffed hems which make them a little dressier than denim or cutoffs. They have a tan line going down the sides that matches perfectly with the hat. The white shorts in this outfit are a little loose and made of light cotton, not denim. White and chambray blue is a beautiful and bright color combination, perfect for summer and an excellent option for the beach outfits. Let’s start with a white shorts outfit where I wore white shorts with a chambray tank top. To dress up a pair of white shorts, you can add a slightly structured linen blazer and heels or a silk tank, embellished sandals/wedges and a bit of extra jewelry. And for those slight breeze days, a loose-knit cotton v-neck sweater, denim jacket, or lightweight hoodie can serve as a topper. Think cotton and linen, which are breathable and comfortable to wear. You also can’t go wrong with white shorts paired with tanks, t-shirts, polo shirts, button-downs, halter tops, even tunics go well with them. Or a soft halter top with graphics with a lightweight plaid shirt tied around your waist. A simple cotton boyfriend tee in gray or black, maybe a studded belt and some Converse sneakers. Add in some colorful bangles and earrings, and you are good to go! (Well, maybe add a floppy hat to keep that sun off your face.)ĭo you prefer more of a street style? No problem. A breezy cotton gauze top in print with some gladiator sandals are perfectly Boho. White shorts show off these colors and patterns well. A fedora is a great option with any of these outfits.įor the Boho vibe, think ikat prints, multicolored stripes, or paisleys, and colors like turquoise, orange, pink or purple. Or maybe a bright green cotton button-down shirt, tied at the waist with the sleeves rolled up and a pair of white sandals, which is semi-casual and classic. Pairing a boatneck short-sleeve tee with white shorts and red boat shoes is a good example. I love blue-and-white stripes, which tends to be slightly nautical, but classic at the same time. You’ll want to stick with colors and patterns that work well with your skin tone and your overall style.Ĭlassic colors that pair well with white shorts are navy blues, reds, vibrant greens. White also pairs well with prints and patterns, from florals to plaids to ikat prints. How to Wear White Shorts – Color and Style Pairings Read on to discover how to style white shorts and how you too can put together some cute outfits with white shorts for summer. I’ll provide you with some white shorts outfit ideas and styling tips! How to wear white shorts is a pretty common query, and there is more than one answer, as white shorts are pretty darn versatile.

As much as I love white jeans, I love white shorts a tiny bit more, especially in the dead of summer when it’s just too hot to wear jeans. 12/31/2023 0 Comments Pokemon unite leaksDefenders are one of the hardest classes to play as a solo player because they are more team-reliant than most other Pokemon, but a highly-mobile Defender could end up being Unite’s first tank-carry, which would be a serious disruption to the meta. Some Defenders, like Mamoswine and Greedent, have excellent mobility, but a true Flying-Type tank could have a huge impact on the game if they’re able to fly over barriers to chase down squishy Pokemon and join team fights quickly. When I consider how Tropius would work in Unite, the first thing that comes to mind is ‘flying tank’, and the thought alone terrifies me. But then again, it might be an absolute menace to deal with. Tropius seems like a weird choice, as it would definitely be one of the least-popular Pokemon to join Unite. A Chandelure that can pop up behind the enemy line and Fire Spin your supports sounds like a real nightmare. While it’s safe to assume Chandelure’s kit will have a unique take on invisibility, there’s no doubt it would be just as powerful as the other ghosts’. Between Gengar’s hit-and-run assassin style and Sableye’s constant pestering, Unite has already proven how menacing invisible Pokemon can be. The free MOBA of the Pokmon franchise, which is sweeping the. If you’ve had to deal with irritating Ghost Pokemon in the past, you already know the kind of headache Chandelure might cause. Azumarill leaks into Pokmon Unite with the latest update. If you’ve ever escaped with just a sliver of health left, you should be afraid of the serious Poison damage Goodra could do. Ticking damage can disrupt supporters like Blissey that rely on burst healing, and it can cause unaware players to die outside in battles they’ve otherwise already won. With Goodra, Unite has the potential of introducing a truly lethal DoT - something other MOBAs have but Unite has yet to introduce. That ability applies the poison status effect that deals damage over time (DoT) but neither ability is particularly threatening. There are two Poison-type Pokemon, Gengar and Venusaur, and they both use slightly-different variants of the same Poison move - Sludge Bomb. Though it isn’t a Poison-type, Goodra is often associated with toxic traits thanks to its slimy skin and Poison-type moves, Acid Spray and Poison Tail. I anticipate it will either be an All-Rounder like its Dragon-type brethren, or it will fill a much-needed Defender role. Pokémon Unite: Blissey Release Date, Leaks, & Rumors Explained. The Dragon Pokemon (yep, it’s literally the Dragon Pokemon) will be a welcome addition for many, myself included. Related: Unite Might Be Ready For A Double Jungler MapĮlChicoEevee seems to be more confident on Goodra over the other three, so let’s start with that. With that in mind, here’s how I think each leaked Pokemon is going to ruin the game. Every once in a while we get a weak or balanced Pokemon like Scizor and Dragapult respectively, but more often than not, players cry nerf the second a new ‘mon drops. It seems like every time a new Unite License comes out, there’s a contingent of players automatically convinced they’re so overpowered that their presence ruins the entire game. It still isn’t clear when or in what form Gigantamax Pikachu will appear in Pokémon Unite, so fans will have to stay tuned for an official announcement from TiMi Studio Group or The Pokémon Company about any upcoming content.Again, ElChicoEevee can’t confirm if all or any of these Pokemon are actually on the way, but given the lack of confirmed releases, it's worth speculating what kind of impact these Pokemon might have on the game. Pikachu is one of 33 Pokémon with Gigantamax forms in Pokémon Sword and Shield, and if this recent leak is accurate, players could be able to unleash this giant-sized version of the Pokémon franchise’s famous mascot in Pokémon Unite as well. Gigantamax Pokémon stand out from Sword and Shield’s Dynamax forms, as only a select few Pokémon species have the ability. By holding a battle in a special location called a Power Spot, trainers can have their Pokémon grow to gigantic sizes and inflict devastating amounts of damage to their opponents. Gigantamax Pokémon were first introduced in 2019’s Pokémon Sword and Shield as a new type of battle mechanic similar to Pokémon X and Y’s Mega Evolutions and Sun and Moon’s Z-Moves. 12/31/2023 0 Comments Oxo good grips vegetable peelerOnce you have an effective tool on hand, you can find all kinds of genius new uses for your peeler. Asparagus, on the other hand, is more efficiently peeled with a smaller, more curved blade. Large vegetables with tougher skins - like that butternut squash, as well as eggplant - benefit from a wider blade. For example, tomatoes, with their thin skin and tender flesh, are much easier to peel with a serrated blade. You’ll pay a bit more for the KitchenAid Classic Euro Vegetable Peeler due to its high-quality construction and well-known brand name.Almost any potato peeler can handle a single carrot for a salad, but when you need to tackle a bushel of tomatoes for homemade tomato sauce or a big ol’ butternut squash, a specialized vegetable peeler helps.Ī vegetable peeler is very similar to a potato peeler, but can vary in size and blade style to make it more suitable to specific foods.

They can slice cheeses and meats for a party tray, shave chocolate to top a delectable dessert and even sharpen your pencil if you don’t have a pencil sharpener on hand. Vegetable peelers come in handy for a wide variety of tasks besides simply peeling the skin away from fruits and vegetables.If you have any trouble cleaning the blades with a rag, you can put a drop of dish soap on a toothbrush and use that instead. You’ll want to clean those by hand using hot water, a little dish soap and a rag. While some vegetable peelers are safe to toss in the dishwasher, others aren’t.If the blades of your vegetable peeler become clogged at any point and you find that tapping them against a hard surface isn’t releasing the clog, you can use a toothpick to get between the blades to coax the food out.If keeping the tool in your kitchen drawer is the only option, and your drawer is on the smaller side, look for a vegetable peeler that is compact. There are peelers with built-in holes for hanging, as well as peelers that come with a plastic sheath to cover the blades while they are stored in a utensil drawer. One blade peels, one shreds and one juliennes, for example.Īlso consider how the vegetable peeler is designed to be stored. There are even vegetable peelers on the market with interchangeable blades. This allows you to cut out potato eyes, as well as remove any rotten spots you come across when prepping the produce. Some are made simply to peel the skin off of produce, while others have an attached blemish remover. The important thing is that the peeler is made using an ergonomic design, as this increases your comfort while you use the peeler and reduces wrist fatigue if you need to use the peeler for an extended period of time.Ĭheck the functionality of the peeler. You’ll find they come in a wide variety of shapes, so you’ll want to look for the one that best suits your grip. Look at the vegetable peeler’s handle next. Others utilize smooth glide technology to keep the blades from clogging. This allows the blades to glide across the fruit with ease. Most peelers come with two tough scraping blades that swivel. Stainless steel is not only durable, but it also resists rust and won’t stain or retain any odors.

We have outlined the techniques for identifying customer needs and wants as well as using the information to win more customers. Once you have clear knowledge about the same, you can further use it to persuade your customers. Identifying and meeting customer needs should be the focal point of every business’s efforts to build a solid customer base. You can not persuade consumers without knowing what they are looking for. Whatever the sentence is intended to mean, it does not mean that people focus on you.Most businesses focus on innovations but fail to align their brand with customer needs.Ĭustomer-centric companies are 60% more profitable than companies that don’t focus on customers.īeing customer-focused helps in understanding customers better and aligning products and services to create great value. It's impossible to tell from the grammar alone whether "on the stage" represents the target of focusing or the location of being. That last example sentence might mean several things. We were very focused on the structural issues. * We very focused on the structural issues. The passive voice employs a participle, and these participles often accept modifiers like "very" and "so": The passive-voice construction allows something that the ergative construction doesn't. We were focused on the structural issues. We focused our attention on the structural issues. We focused ourselves on the structural issues. We can see these similarities when we compare an ergative clause to ordinary transitive clauses: In this case, the subject represents something that isn't quite an agent and isn't quite a patient, but shares some similarities with both of those roles. These semantic roles do not exists in an ergative clause. This light is focused by a series of lenses and mirrors. Our attention is focused on this problem. The actor or agent, if represented at all, is represented by an adjunct: In the passive voice, the subject represents the patient. These semantic roles still exist in passive-voice constructions of this verb. The direct object represents a semantic patient. The subject represents a semantic actor or agent. Sentences like these use an ordinary transitive active-voice construction. Nothing else focuses the mind like a deadline. There is a reason that these active-voice and passive-voice constructions carry very similar meanings. For some tricky sentence like "You've been so focused on the stage", should I interpret it as "You focus on the stage very much" or "People focus on you on the stage very much"?.What're the nuances between "focus on" and "be focused on"?.So we’re focusing - we have a lot more issues to cover, but we focused on the structural issues - the ones that you’ve been so focused on - and we talked about enforcement, enforcement, enforcement. That’s been your instruction from the beginning.

After viewing a couple of threads on the Internet, I found that both the legitimacy or the explanation of "focus on" (active voice form) and "be focused on" (passive voice form) seemed controversial. 12/30/2023 0 Comments China hot dog slicerWe are the manufacturers of the 528 Spiral Potato Chips machine( the electric/manual Twisted chips machine /Tornado Potato Chips Machine A slightly more streamlined assembly process, the addition of garlic and… I upped the cheese.Spiral potato cutter hot dog Potato Chip Slicerĥ28 spiral potato machine (wholesale and retail) First made using Julie Child’s recipe which then evolved slightly over the years to what it is today.

Bake covered for 75 minutes (yes really, it takes that long), then uncovered just to make the cheese on top lovely and golden. Thinly sliced potato is layered with a cream-butter-garlic mixture, sprinkled with thyme and the mandatory cheese in every layer.

America – Russet is perfect, and for those of you in the UK, King Edward or Maris Piper are perfect. Australia – I use Sebago (those dirt brushed potatoes).
