An open day organised by the Federation for Hunting and Conservation Malta (FKNK) in collaboration with the environment ministry served as as educational and awareness-raising exercise for visitors at the height of migration for many bird species, despite serious reports of poaching and illegal hunting taking place.

Buskett is amongst the most important Natura 2000 sites in Malta as an important grounds for many plants, birds, mammals, reptiles, and insects.

We need to understand those who live a rural lifestyle, and respect our cultural heritage, but most importantly, understand the value of effective dialogue, of balance, and recognise that various sustainable activities can be more than compatible with conservation objectives and contribute positively to biodiversity in many sites, especially within the framework of a management plan.

“Effective dialogue and partnership between environmentalists, hunters, farmers, landowners, authorities, and keeping an honest and open mind and mutual understanding can be transformative: creating solutions for a variety of problems, from biodiversity to conservation to rural development to climate change,” Farrugia said.

We promise to reciprocate with facts by means of projects that encourage conservation and enhance biodiversity,” said FKNK President Joe Perici Calascione.

Happe continued, "Winnebago is the most well-known brand of recreational vehicles in the world, and we believe it is time to bring both the motorhome and towables businesses under that iconic brand together.

While Huw will drive profitable growth within our Winnebago-branded recreational and specialty vehicles businesses, his knowledge of other outdoor markets will be welcomed as we also explore new revenue opportunities for the Winnebago brand."

Hoell was working in healthcare at the time, but volunteering to help restaurants improve sustainability, and saw that restaurants didn’t have a good option for takeout and delivery orders.

So in her new startup called Dispatch Goods, Hoell is testing a new approach—reusable takeout containers that can be given to customers, returned for cleaning, and then used again by the restaurant hundreds of times.

The startup began working with a handful of tech companies in San Francisco in late 2019, partnering with restaurants near office buildings so employee lunch orders could come in reusable containers.

In a new pilot with DoorDash and a San Francisco pizza restaurant called the Square Pie Guys, the company is now providing reusable pizza containers—in this case, a hacked cookie tray with a lid, because the startup hasn’t found a suitable reusable pizza box—and smaller steel bowls for side dishes.

Customers select the reusable option at checkout, paying a small fee, and then leave the containers outside in a reusable bag; the startup takes a loop through the neighborhood for collection, like curbside recycling.

"Our study results demonstrate the high prevalence of financial toxicity for MS patients and the resulting decisions patients make that impact their health care and lifestyle," said study author Dr. Gelareh Sadigh, an assistant radiology professor at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta.

The study, sponsored by the Harvey L. Neiman Health Policy Institute in Reston, Va., is the first to evaluate "financial toxicity" in MS patients and whether financial hardship is associated with forgoing medication and imaging follow-up prescribed in their treatment plan, the authors said.

MS patients can face considerable financial struggles due to expensive treatments, high rates of disability and lost income.

"Over the last 20 years, higher out-of-pocket costs for advanced imaging tests and increased cost sharing have caused the financial burdens on MS patients to escalate.

"In addition to the impact on adherence, financial toxicity was associated with significantly lower physical health-related quality of life, demonstrating the broad consequences of treatment costs for many MS patients," added Duszak, vice chair for health policy and practice in the Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences at Emory.

The horny butter smell of the Auntie Anne’s pretzel counter is a hundred times more enticing than Subway bread smell, the type of thing that triggers hunger pangs where one may not have noticed hunger before.

Instead, the real comfort will be, god help me, standing in Penn Station again, chewing on a sweet, golden pretzel, waiting to run to my train with melted butter coating my hand.

I don’t want Auntie Anne’s to be my go-to comfort food, available whenever I’m sad or stressed.

But Auntie Anne’s is almost decadent enough to make you want to head to LaGuardia or Penn Station solely for the pretzel.

Auntie Anne’s makes it its business to be in places that you don’t want to be — like the old Terminal B at LaGuardia Airport or the most depressing section of your local malls.

We may not ever do away with Instagram, or celebrity culture, or get to a place where restaurants and chefs are reviewed — and rewarded — based on how happy their employees are and the positive change they effect in their communities.

The restaurant partnered with a local children’s museum, he said, offering meals and cooking classes in exchange for admission to a summer camp program for the children of a couple of Smallsugar’s employees.

After closing their New York City restaurant, Birds & Bubbles, in 2017 because of a landlord conflict, Hoskins and Simmons moved permanently to Columbia and “readjusted our priorities,” opening restaurants with an eye toward quality of life.

One way to change restaurant culture may lie in creating an environment that focuses less on headlines, awards and glorifying a gladiator-style grind in the kitchen — one that can lead to undercompensated workers focusing on who gets credit for the creation of dishes and who has paid their dues — and more on developing the training and well-being of the staff.

“Beyond underlying racism and misogyny, it rewarded people who were not necessarily the best employees but were willing to kill themselves for the restaurant,” buying into the macho, work-all-the-time ethos that exists in some kitchens.

Though DISCUS and the NRA already exist to lobby government, they believe they can present a unified and thus stronger front by forming the Hospitality Recovery Coalition with the American Distilled Spirits Alliance (ADSA), which represents spirits manufacturers, importers and marketers; the Council of State Restaurant Associations (CSRA); and TIPs, the country’s dominant safe alcohol service training and certification program.

The National Restaurant Association (NRA), another member of the coalition, predicts the US restaurant industry will lose $240 billion by the end of this year.

What percentage of the housing market does single-family rentals make up?

Areas like Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio and Austin, these are all very strong markets for single-family rentals and they have been for quite some time.

The reason behind the increased demand is that most Americans will be working and studying from home for the foreseeable future, so they’re looking for affordable homes in quality neighborhoods with all the amenities and conveniences offered by a single-family home lifestyle, said David Howard, the executive director of the National Rental Home Council.

The index shows strong growth in the single-family rental market during the initial months of the COVID-19 crisis, April through June.

The National Rental Home Council recently released its latest Single-Family Rental Market Index, which shows that demand for rental homes has surged during the pandemic.

And Bohemian Creamery owner Lisa Gottreich says other restaurants are buying small quantities of her cheeses to sell directly to customers, which she says does help while she searches for new retail markets in the San Francisco Bay Area.

The failure of Shankar’s first marriage to Annapurna Devi, the daughter of his beloved guru is blamed on his promiscuous nature, but Indian Sun shows the truth to be more complicated and the relationship to be mutually toxic.

As Oliver Craske writes in Indian Sun, his magisterial biography of Shankar—the first in English— Billboard crowned the Indian musician its artist of that year.

As a young man employed with All India Radio in newly independent India, Shankar would go on to revolutionize orchestral arrangements for Indian classical music, set the score for the song Saare Jahan Se Achchha, and produce music for movies in Mumbai, Kolkata and beyond, for directors like Satyajit Ray, Tapan Sinha and Jonathan Miller.

This sentiment not only explains Shankar’s eventual decision to spend most of his life abroad, but also his exasperation with critics who condemned his collaborations with Western performers as “impure", a taint on his credentials as a Indian classical musician.

In Raag-Anuraag, a memoir he wrote in Bengali, Shankar had spoken about his unconventional lifestyle with a candour that is still rare in the tight-lipped world of Indian classical music.

With the launch of Beyond Tobacco™ cigarettes set to take place in Q4 2020, the Company's management has elected to pursue patent protection of the proprietary attributes of its flagship product.
