Jay-Z becomes director
Jay- Z is not the Chairman of the Board like other New York based music celebrities, but Jay-Z can aptly call himself "Director of the Arena." He has another feather added to his crown. He has been listed under his real name Shawn Carter. It reads as "director" for the Brooklyn Arena LLC. This company runs under the Brooklyn's Barclays Center.
The new title came out in the papers which were in papers filed by developer of arena Forest City Ratner Cos. in its aim to protect a liquor license. Being one of the Directors, Jay Z, who is a celebrated rapper and music tycoon, is geared up to attend board meetings and aid direct arena senior staff for its daily operations, as per the declaration of Barclays Center officials.
He is helping the Nets design the logos of team. These logos will be done on the jerseys which are yet to be released. He had worked really hard to make the eleven luxury arena suites named "The Vault."
One who will be in the suites which costs $550,000 each was treated like a child by the husband of singer Beyonce. Jay Z even helped to choose fork, champagne and napkins.
The news that he is the new Director came out as the Arena officials stated that they would extend the drinking hours. The news first cropped up when it was reported by the blog Atlantic Yards Report.
Jay Z will share the title of the director with Mary Anne Gilmartin, Ratner, David Berliner, Irina Pavlova, Christophe Charlier and David Carlock. Whereas Berliner and Gilmartin are high level officials at Ratner's company, Charlier is at present the deputy CEO of Onexim. Onexim is owned by Nets possessor Mikhal Prokhorov.

The Israeli Ministry of Transport said last week that Israeli airlines are unlikely to have their safety rating lowered by the European Union
The statement followed a meeting last weekend in Brussels between Israel Airport Authority (IAA) officials and a representative of the EU authority for flight safety who made it clear that he had no intention of lowering the safety rating of Israeli airlines, El Al, Arkia, Israir and Sun D'or.
The European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) warned Israeli airlines three weeks ago that it may consider to ban flights from Israel unless safety standards are improved at Ben Gurion Airport.
Last December the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), deemed the international authority on flight standards throughout the Western world, said it considered to lower the safety ranking given to Ben Gurion International Airport from Category 1 to Category 2, a category usually prevalent among third world countries, small or poor countries, like Kiribati and Bangladesh. Israel, though, is a surprise inclusion.
The European Union has a blacklist ofairlines banned from Europe for being too unsafe. The list is populated mainly by airlines from African countries and failed states. It includes North Korea's Air Koryo, Sudan's Air West, all of Indonesia's airlines, and over fifty airlines from the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The consequences of being blacklisted would mean that Israeli airlines were prohibited from landing at European airports or even flying over European airspace.
The Ministry of Transport reported that the IAA's plan to restore Israel to the highest aviation safety category gained supports from EASA, although they stressed the importance of Israeli airlines maintaining the highest levels of safety, as a condition for preserving the status of Israeli companies in Europe.

How to identify bisque ware
crrclay posted a topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkI forgot to mark the identifying numbers on some test tiles. Is there a way to mark the bisque ware before glazing?
Signature Stamps
rayaldridge posted a topic in Studio Operations and Making WorkI have to confess that over the last forty or so years, most of my pots have been marked either with my signature or initials scratched into the base of the pot. But lately I've noticed that a nice clean stamped mark is much better looking, at least to my eyes. Recently I designed a stamp for future pots that has a slightly stylized adaptation of my initials, and I like it better. How do other potters feel about this issue? My excuse for the scratched signature is basically laziness and not paying enough attention to that detail, but I'm sure other folks have different thoughts on the matter, and I'd love to hear them.

You don't need to enroll in an eight-week program to get started with mindfulness training. Participants in the MBTSR program all received a copy of the groundbreaking book "Full Catastrophe Living" by Jon Kabat-Zinn. Kabat-Zinn's book is the premier manual for practicing mindfulness in daily life. You will learn about, and be encouraged to practice, meditation and breathing techniques that can help draw your focus away from tinnitus.
If the source of the problem remains unclear, you may be sent to an otologist or an otolaryngologist (both ear specialists) or an audiologist (a hearing specialist) for hearing and nerve tests. As part of your examination, you may be given a hearing test called an audiogram. An imaging technique, such as an MRI or a CT scan, may also be recommended to reveal any structural problem.
The noise heard by people with tinnitus may be a buzzing, ringing, roaring, whistling, or hissing sound and is often associated with hearing loss. Some people hear more complex sounds that may be different at different times. These sounds are more noticeable in a quiet environment and when people are not concentrating on something else. Thus, tinnitus tends to be most disturbing to people when they are trying to sleep. However, the experience of tinnitus is highly individual. Some people are very disturbed by their symptoms, whereas others find them quite bearable.
^ Langguth B, Goodey R, Azevedo A, et al. (2007). "Consensus for tinnitus patient assessment and treatment outcome measurement: Tinnitus Research Initiative meeting, Regensburg, July 2006". Tinnitus: Pathophysiology and Treatment. Progress in Brain Research. 166. pp. 525–36. doi:10.1016/S0079-6123(07)66050-6. ISBN 978-0444531674. PMC 4283806. PMID 17956816.
Demographic variables (age, sex, type of tinnitus) and baseline THI scores of placebo (n = 16) and treatment (n = 11) groups did not significantly differ from one another at the start of the study. At 3 months, participants in the treatment group reported significantly lower scores on the THI when compared to the placebo group (p < .05). The treatment group also showed an 11-point drop in THI scores when comparing baseline and 3 months (p < .05; please see Figure 2). THI scores for the placebo group comparing both time points were non-significant. Past studies have indicated that the minimum change in the THI score to be considered clinically significant is a drop of 6 to 7 points.9 As such, the results of our clinical study suggest that tinnitus and its related symptoms can produce a clinically significant reduction in tinnitus within the first 3 months using the personalized music-based therapy.
Smoking. Contrary to popular belief, there are some external irritants that can cause tinnitus. For example, Nicotine has been proven to be an irritant that can cause someone to develop a ringing in their ears. Smokers may find that their chances of developing the condition may be higher than someone who is a non-smoker. If you're suffering from tinnitus right now, and you're a smoker, please quit as soon as possible. If that's just not an option for you right now, be sure to at least pick up an over the counter tinnitus treatment that will dramatically reduce the ringing in your ears.
Many people find that tinnitus causes frustration, stress, and even anger. And unfortunately, your exasperation and anxiety can seem to amplify the issue. Learning how to thoroughly relax can help you manage your tinnitus. Deep breathing, meditation, yoga, or music therapy may help in combination with sound therapy. You could also explore relaxing hobbies like gardening, painting, swimming, photography, knitting, reading, cooking, or other physical activities (walking, biking, etc.).
In many cases, tinnitus is caused by hyperactivity (or too much activity) in the brain's auditory cortex. "When there's damage or a loss of input in the ear [such as hearing loss, head trauma, or a blood vessel problem], the brain tries to turn up certain channels in order to compensate," Dr. Kilgard explains. When the brain doesn't get that tuning quite right, the result is tinnitus.
Tinnitus can be extremely frustrating and can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unsure about your next steps. Remember that you are not alone - tinnitus, while not well-understood, is common. Make an appointment with a hearing care professional near you, preferably one who specializes in tinnitus treatment. Be prepared to discuss your symptoms in detail so you can get relief and regain your quality of life.
Steven Doerr, MD, is a U.S. board-certified Emergency Medicine Physician. Dr. Doerr received his undergraduate degree in Spanish from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He graduated with his Medical Degree from the University Of Colorado Health Sciences Center in Denver, Colorado in 1998 and completed his residency training in Emergency Medicine from Denver Health Medical Center in Denver, Colorado in 2002, where he also served as Chief Resident.
To understand what causes tinnitus, you first need to understand what tinnitus is. Tinnitus is, very simply, unexplainable noises you hear in your head when there is no actual sound present. A person with tinnitus will often hear a whistling, humming, buzzing, whooshing, clicking or ringing in their ears, even when there is nothing in the area that is emitting that particular sound. It may be intermittent or last only a short time or never seem to stop.
The treatment involves implanting a small electrode into a person's neck near the vagus nerve. The patient then listens to specific tones that are paired with small electric pulses sent to the vagus nerve. This vagus nerve stimulation, coupled with the sound-based stimulation of the auditory cortex, can "turn down" the patient's tinnitus. Though, Kilgard adds, "It's not 100 percent yet."
Many of the press headlines mentioned that listening to the sound of the sea could help tinnitus, with the Metro claiming this could cure the condition. However, sound therapies that try to neutralise tinnitus using soothing sounds, such as waves or birdsong, are not new, but are part of standard treatments for this condition. Also, the report in the Lancet did not state what kind of sounds were used as therapy. Sound therapy was not the only treatment approach used, but was given as part of a specialised treatment programme delivered by expert health professionals.
If you develop tinnitus, it's important to see your clinician. She or he will take a medical history, give you a physical examination, and do a series of tests to try to find the source of the problem. She or he will also ask you to describe the noise you're hearing (including its pitch and sound quality, and whether it's constant or periodic, steady or pulsatile) and the times and places in which you hear it. Your clinician will review your medical history, your current and past exposure to noise, and any medications or supplements you're taking. Tinnitus can be a side effect of many medications, especially when taken at higher doses (see "Some drugs that can cause or worsen tinnitus").
If your doctor cannot find any medical condition responsible for your tinnitus, you may be referred to an otolaryngologist (commonly called an ear, nose, and throat doctor, or an ENT). The ENT will physically examine your head, neck, and ears and test your hearing to determine whether you have any hearing loss along with the tinnitus. You might also be referred to an audiologist who can also measure your hearing and evaluate your tinnitus.
Tinnitus is not a disease — it's a symptom. It's a sign that something is wrong with your auditory system, which includes your ear, the auditory nerve that connects the inner ear to the brain, and the parts of the brain that process sound. There are a variety of different conditions that can cause tinnitus. One of the most common is noise-induced hearing loss.
Why is tinnitus so disruptive to sleep? Often, it's because tinnitus sounds become more apparent at night, in a quiet bedroom. The noises of daily life can help minimize the aggravation and disruptiveness of tinnitus sounds. But if your bedroom is too quiet, you may perceive those sounds more strongly when you try to fall asleep—and not be able to drift off easily.
Sound Options Tinnitus Treatments Inc. addresses the need for an effective tinnitus treatment by offering a clinically validated, individually customized sound therapy. The sound therapy is based on leading neuroscience and tinnitus research that has been built into our software to produce a treatment that can be conveniently delivered via any music playing device. Sound Options is also heavily invested in community engagement. This includes educating and reaching out to seniors, veteran's groups, and police and firefighter associations, as these segments of our population are most affected by tinnitus. Sound Options is relentless about innovation and we are constantly seeking novel ways to help tinnitus sufferers. Our treatment has been designed with the tinnitus sufferer in mind: it is pleasantly effective, affordable, and individually customized.
Acoustic Neural Stimulation. This relatively new treatment has shown to be effective in reducing, and in some cases eliminating, symptoms in patients whose tinnitus just won't go away or is very loud. The treatment utilizes a device small enough to fit into the palm of your hand that delivers a broadband acoustical signal embedded in special music you can listen to via headphones. The treatment eventually desensitizes you to the ringing in your ears by stimulating changes in the neural circuits in your brain.
A number of vital tasks carried out during sleep help maintain good health and enable people to function at their best. Sleep needs vary from individual to individual and change throughout your life. The National Institutes of Health recommend about 7-9 hours of sleep each night for older, school-aged children, teens, and most average adults; 10-12 for preschool-aged children; and 16-18 hours for newborns. There are two stages of sleep; 1) REM sleep (rapid-eye movement), and 2) NREM sleep (non-rapid-eye movement). The side effects of lack of sleep or insomnia include:
It is also very common for jaw opening to change the loudness or frequency of tinnitus. This is likely a variant of somatic modulation of tinnitus (see above). The sensory input from the jaw evidently interacts with hearing pathways. The muscles that open the jaw are innervated by the same nerve, the motor branch of 5, that controls the tensor tympani in the ear. In other words, changing tension in the jaw may also change muscle tension in the ear.
If you develop tinnitus, it's important to see your clinician. She or he will take a medical history, give you a physical examination, and do a series of tests to try to find the source of the problem. She or he will also ask you to describe the noise you're hearing (including its pitch and sound quality, and whether it's constant or periodic, steady or pulsatile) and the times and places in which you hear it. Your clinician will review your medical history, your current and past exposure to noise, and any medications or supplements you're taking. Tinnitus can be a side effect of many medications, especially when taken at higher doses (see "Some drugs that can cause or worsen tinnitus").
Loud noise exposure: Being exposed to occupational loud noise on a regular basis from heavy equipment, chain saws or firearms is a common cause of tinnitus. However, even if you don't work in a noisy environment, you can still suffer the effects of noise exposure by listening to loud music through headphones, attending live music performances frequently and engaging in noisy hobbies.

These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 60!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live in the burbs and work in the city (Chicago, the best city in the world). I'm an aunt, a friend and a colleague. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.

Congratulations, Blackhawk fans! Enjoy it.

From the wife of a flyers fan, I say Congrats. Both teams fought hard but Chicago had the momentum.ReplyDelete
I hope the Flyers make it into another SC in Duty's lifetime because he was (secretly) heartbroken not to go to one of the games. His idiot nephew scored FREE tix and didn't take him and he said it was okay but I was FURIOUS because they've always shared their love for the Flyers and when it came down to it, he blew Duty off. I am now hard-core grudge-holding just because. (The Universe loves me because said idiot nephew got a flat tire on the way home at midnight. HA! ---> so not love and light of me. I am still human after all.
I was kind of rooting for the Flyers-but oh well.ReplyDelete
Yesterday I was working during the game and every time someone scored someone called us on the registers with the updated score. It was kind of funny.
Sorry about adding Comment Moderation, folks. But look at the bright side, at least I've gotten rid of word verification!

I will be shooting some stuff with it this weekend.
Yes! Tonis sent me a prototype to shoot stuff with it. Haven't found the time yet, but I tried it and it's optically flawless and really helps stabilize the camera.
Awesome, the only reason I'm thinking of re-buying a Pocket 4k is to be able to use my S16 lenses, especially a couple of Switars I recently got, I just wish the camera was a bit smaller
Wow, great to see it out in the real world Fauxto - please do report back on how the loupe reports. With Kinotehnik Loupe for the OG pocket I sometimes had some problems with the lens fogging up due to heat from my face.. Also are you able to see the entire screen comfortable or do you have to look 'around' with your eyes?
That looks like such a frankein camera.
Glad you're having fun with it.
Is that a variable ND and IR cutoff on the front?

When the topic of forward-thinking, innovative, developers comes up, Silicon Knights is likely not the first name that one might bring up. While they have made a name for themselves as a strong game developer, their reputation isn't fitted with out-of-the-box game design ideas. Despite this, it may not be long before Silicon Knights becomes a key name in the bringing-about the future of gaming.
On July 14th, the St. Catherines developer received funding in the ball park of $3 million from the Ontario government. The funding is to be used in order to develop new technology which will also create 80 new jobs within the company. The new technology that Silicon Knights is working on should be of special interest to gamers.
Silicon Knights is currently in the process of designing on a new game development engine based around 3D technology - which they state will improve upon the existing audio, video and camera systems in current 3D games. Through the use of these tools, they plan to help "develop the next generation of gaming systems and become a self-sustainable, self-publishing company."
While it's clear that Silicon Knights isn't jumping into the console development market to compete with the big three, there's little doubt that 3D technology will be a large part of the next generation in gaming. Whether it's the recent rumors regarding the Xbox 720 and PS4 or the already announced Wii U, many gamers are eagerly awaiting a more effective implementation of 3D within the industry.
According to Dennis Dyack, Silicon Knights' President,
"With Ontario government support, we are better-positioned to further develop the 8th Art of video games. This will enhance our competitive edge within the highly-competitive video game market, help us become a self-sustainable, self-publishing entity, and allow us to enter lucrative global markets."
Whether you think 3D technology can be used effectively in gaming or not, this is exciting news indeed. While the company has already made a name for itself with titles like Eternal Darkness and the more recent Too Human, it will be interesting to see what this Canadian publisher is able to achieve with their new-found government funding. As time goes on, and provided they can develop a strong project, Silicon Knights could become a major player in the next generation of game consoles.
In addition to this, it's also interesting to see governments taking an interest in the gaming industry - and helping it prosper. There is no doubt that this trend will increase over time, but the fact that video games are receiving such wide acceptance really goes to show how much the medium has changed over the past few years. It's an exciting time for the industry, as the next couple years could hold some major changes for it. Like always though, only time will tell.
What fan-favorite game franchises would you like to see get an innovative Silicon Knights 3D treatment? Are you excited to see governments supporting the development of the gaming industry?

Crossbar Quotes
He's one of those kids that (shoots) it from odd spots, but (it goes) crossbar and in. He's a goal scorer. He's capable of scoring goals in bunches. For the majority of this second semester what I've seen from Andy Cote is I've seen him every day with a smile on his face, moving his feet, and he wants to be on the ice. He wants to get double shifted; that looks like a (player) to me that's hungry. - Tim Coghlin

This day is about the surprising appearance of life despite prior narratives…
It's about how we live….
It's about the choices we make….
It's about those moments when we unexpectedly sense a way forward from those tombs of time which previously seemed to offer no way out…
To open to the dynamic of this day, this season, at least for a moment, perhaps we could return to beginnings…
In the beginning¹, perhaps surprisingly, life emerges within the cosmos and an evolutionary narrative unfolds…
As consciousness emerges, we notice that which we name as god, that that which we experience as 'presence' lures life² and we wonder if such luring is the nature of the sacred…
And so, in wonderment, we tell stories and write narratives in which 'god', spirit – 'ruach'³ hovers over the 'deep' luring life…
Within the story, the imaginary, life is responsive to god's desire…
Is it possible that god's desire is god's will, god's will but a whispered call, an haunting invitation, an impossible hope?
Within a Greek mindset, this is the 'eros' of god – the erotic energy drawing forth life, ever hopeful of eliciting a response…
From our perspective, god, that which we name as god, seems to command life but the 'command' is more of an invitation, a yearning, a whispered insistence…
The divine one neither commands nor controls life but lures it…
Life emerges from the desiring of that which we name as god…
Impossibly, perhaps, from within a luring, a desire, an invitation – life, creation, emerges…
Impossibly perhaps, from within death – life, creation, continues to emerge…
Surprisingly perhaps, divine freedom to create depends on the responsive freedom of creatures – 'the lapping and overlapping of influences flowing upon the face of the deep.' ⁴
This is the flow of a creative wind, spirit hovering over deep possibility -
This is spirit energy dancing with impossible possibilities ever luring life – new life – renewed life – resurrected life…
From within the cosmos, god, that which we name as god, yearns for, lures, life lived within impossible possibilities…
Life luring life…
Divinity luring life…
So again, perhaps we should say that god's yearning is god's will, dare I say our calling?
As sacred story says, 'Arise my love, my fair one and come away'⁵… (Song of Solomon 2:10)
This is the hopeful invitation of desire luring, inviting, a response…
This is the energy of 'eros' which requires the risky responsive interactivity of relationship if life is to unfold…
This is the interactivity of the cosmos impossibly opening possibilities…
As Genesis 1 poetically suggests, this is spirit hovering over the deep, over emerging life inviting a response…
So if you dare, choose…
In the beginning it was thus…
It is thus now…
It will be thus tomorrow…
Life is god's desire…
So choose….
Perhaps surprisingly, resurrection is an attribute of creation, a life event…
Despite death's reality, life's possibilities, life's impossible possibilities, continue to emerge, to appear…
So choose…
Resurrection is an expression of impossible possibilities, impossibilities within which we sense the stirring of god -
Resurrection is a surprising (some prefer to say a miraculous) release of energy and creativity luring us, inviting us in our response to transcend yesterday…
That which we name as resurrection is the lure of life in the face of death, an insurrectional moment, a refusal to stay put, to rest content…
Resurrection is a lure of life despite the limitations of past deaths, past failures, past events, past fears, past choices…
Resurrection is the invitation to step out and step up onto the tightrope of new possibilities…
Resurrection is the hope that despite death, despite endings, despite yesterday – life, new life, transformed life is possible⁶…
Resurrection is a cosmic event, universal in scope but always an experience which is personal, local, and emergent within the next possibility, the next event, the next experience…
So choose…
In the narratives concerning Jesus, his followers are shocked by the experience of new life, by the event of seeing with new eyes and hearing with new ears…
Somehow, in some way, there is 'a way out of no way' -
Somehow within the latent strength of their small gathering they begin to hear and heed spirit's call emerging out of deep impossible possibilities…
Jesus lives?
Perhaps others could as well…
Perhaps the good news, the invitation to live in his name opens possibilities despite the reality of death…
So choose…
Despite the reality of death, is it possible that we are haunted by questions which may open us to a surprise:
Is life still possible?
Is life re-
Is 'god's' desire luring our desire, inviting response?
And lest this seem too overwhelming personally, remember that the experience of new life (resurrection) is never a solitary, singular event or responsibility; whether we like it or not, whether we understand it or not, life is always shared…
So together with others -
So choose remembering that, perhaps paradoxically, the truth of the resurrection lies in our response…
Our existence, our response is the way the resurrection is experienced as true⁷…
The folly of god is to require our courage to take a risk on god, on life⁸…
So choose…
And so, risking a response to life, risking response to resurrection's haunting call:
a word is spoken…a hand is offered…a brow is wiped…a cry for help is answered…an invitation is received… a refugee is sponsored…a companion appears… a program is created… a treatment is found… a killing is met with justice… a story is told -
¹ This is an obvious reference to the creation narrative of Genesis 1 and despite the specificity of the definite article – 'the' beginning – there are always beginnings – multiple and varied!
² The presence of god is more an ephemeral presence (a haunting) than an overwhelming commanding one. It is a spectral presence of the spirit hovering over the deep inviting...
³ In Hebrew, 'wind', 'breath' and 'spirit' are the same word -
⁴ Catherine Keller, On the Mystery: Discerning Divinity in Process, (Fortress Press) p.89
⁵ Is this our desire or god's? Does it matter?
⁶ It should go without saying that resurrected life is not resuscitated life, the continuance of old. Resurrection is something new, a transformation of that which went before.
⁷ Our response is also the way in which the 'kingdom of god' is experienced as true.
⁸ See John Caputo, The Folly of God, p.119 Polebridge Press 2016
⁹ This inadequate list is my list, so I invite you to consider your own but as you do – as you flip between this list and yours – pay attention for you may notice a 'thread' which may become the tapestry of your vocation.

Ivan Reitman is a Czechoslovakian film producer and director with a net worth of $85 million. Ivan Reitman got his net worth by possessing The Montecito Picture Company, and producing several films, including Six Days Seven Nights, I Love You, Man and Ghostbusters III. Although his net did not appreciate the public exposure of his contemporaries George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, he did make a deep impact on filmmaking styles throughout the late 1970s and 1980s. Actually, what Lucas and Spielberg did for fantasy experience, Reitman did for large-budget comedies.
Ivan Reitman Net Worth $85 Million Dollars
After making an unsuccessful effort to create low budget horror thrillers with director David Cronenberg, he struck gold for his ground breaking National Lampoon's Animal House (1978). Despite the fact that he stumbled as a director in the 2000s with films like Evolution (2001) and My Super Ex-Girlfriend (2006), Reitman loved Oscar-nominated success, yet this time as a producer of the incredible Up in the Air (2009), which added significant heft to his already weighty career.

The state of our kombucha market is strong.
That was the primary takeaway from Bobbi Leahy, Director of Sales at market research group SPINS, during her presentation at the Kombucha Brewers International KombuchaKon 2019 on April 19 in Long Beach, Calif. Analyzing the state of the market and forecasting future trends, Leahy highlighted kombucha's ongoing evolution and emergence out of the natural channel. Still, like anything else, the devil is in the details. Having reviewed the data and spoken to Leahy about her conclusions, here are our three biggest takeaways from SPINS's kombucha market performance analysis.
Growth And Velocity Slowing
Simply put, across all retail channels, kombucha isn't growing as fast as in prior years. That is partly a result of natural maturation of the segment; having been seeded in natural retailers, much of kombucha's recent growth has come as it has moved into more conventional outlets, which account for 70% of the total category share as of 2019. Distribution gains were significant in MULO — food, drug, mass, and club –(38.9%) and convenience (65.5%), and were also up in natural (19.1%) and specialty gourmet (13.6%) retail. Dollar sales for kombucha as a whole grew 22% in the past year to reach $728.8 million.
Yet growth was off, in some cases by double-digits, within each retail segment. Having grown 22% in 2018, natural channel dollar sales grew only 5% in 2019. Growth in the specialty gourmet retailers also decelerated, dropping from 18% in 2018 to just 6% last year. Convenience stores are the fastest growing segment of the market — up 55 % in 2019 — but the smallest ($27 million).
Velocities were also down across the board, with natural (-14.1%) and convenience (-10.1%) taking the biggest hits. In MULO and specialty gourmet channels, velocity was down 9.8% and 6.9% respectively.
By themselves, these declines aren't cause for concern; Leahy noted that the industry is "healthy" and the dips in sales and velocity are a result of the segment's maturation. She said, however, that the combination of falling velocities and increases in distribution indicate that a "reckoning" is inevitable.
"At some point retailers are going to evaluate the market and say 'I love that we got a bigger kombucha set, but we may be too big and need to resize,'" she said. "Those growths in distribution are dramatic but unless people find it in the store and buy it, there will be a right-sizing of the category coming down the pike. A couple of months down the road, buyers may seek to pull back and focus on what items are really producing for them, so maybe some of the more unique flavors or larger sizes."
Larger Packaging is Having An Impact
Single-serve kombucha is still dominating dollar share, but the influence of larger bottles and multi-packs is helping spark category growth, particularly in MULO.
According to SPINS data, items 17 oz. and larger experienced the biggest increases in dollar share over the past year, gaining 39% in the natural channel and 113% in MULO. However, each still represents a relatively small piece of the total category within each channel — 8% in natural and 3% in MULO.
Meanwhile, items 14 oz. and smaller grew dollar share by 24% in the natural channel and 6% in MULO during the period. Items sized 14-17 oz. grew dollar share 23% in MULO, while falling 1% in the natural channel.
Leahy said that larger packaging options are influencing pricing, which was up across all retail channels.
"The price increase is I think higher than it would be normally just because of the larger sizes coming in," she said. "It's a small piece of the pie, but that will drive a higher price point,"
The data is for a 52-week period ending on 2/24/2019, and include kombucha beer.
Still Plenty of Room for Growth
In terms of assessing kombucha's geographic distribution, SPINS didn't as much reveal new insights as reinforce existing ones.
In a dollars-per-capita index vs. total U.S. average, California (155) and the West region (155), which includes Washington and Oregon, led the way. The Southeast was behind with 105, followed by the Northeast with 95 and the Plains by 94. According to Leahy, lower indexing in the Great Lakes (70), South Central (44) and Mid-South (87) indicates that the category still has plenty of runway to develop in those regions.
"In some ways, you look at this and say there is not a lot of 'new' news," she said. "What I did take away from this was there is still a lot of opportunity and room to grow in places like the South, the Great Lakes and the mid-south."

Please see response attached (see below as well). I hope this helps and take care.
1. What are some signs and symptoms of acute diseases?
An Acute disease is defined as a short-term illness whether mild or fatal. A cold is an acute disease, as is influenza.
healthyamericans.org/docs/. In general, signs and symptoms are: comes on suddenly, of short duration, i.e. less than three months in duration, can be either mild or fatal.
Another example of an acute respiratory disease, which is a sudden condition, with signs and symptoms such as breathing is difficult and the oxygen levels in the blood abruptly drop lower than normal. http://www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=10174
2. What can influence a chronic disease to become fatal?
In medicine, a persistent and lasting condition is said to be chronic (from Greek chronos). For example, a chronic illness is one that persists for a long time, usually more than three months. By analogy, this adjective has come to describe problems which cannot be solved in a short time, or which will recur regardless of action.
Both heredity and the environmental factors influence whether a chronic disease becomes fatal. The latter include such things as diet, i.e., eating a diet high in saturated fats when you have heart disease, lifestyle, i.e., high levels of alcohol consumption when you have diabetes or continuing to smoke when you have asthma, and other environmental stresses, i.e. stress levels, high level of toxins, water pollutions, etc. Heredity also plays a factor, as it is a well known fact that if your family gene pool is such that people die young from the same chronic ...
Solution Summary
This solution identifies some of the signs and symptoms of acute diseases as well as the risk factors that can influence a chronic disease to become fatal. It then explains the paradoxical question: If we have the knowledge of risk factors and approaches to risk reduction, why do people continue making unhealthy choices? Strategies for encouraging people to change their behaviors are explained as well as the implications of our earlier life choices on our health in later years.

It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit-
Have you ever stopped at a "stop walk" when there's no traffic? Waiting patiently for the signal to indicate its safe to cross the street, when out of seemingly nowhere, another almond chai tea latte sporting pedestrian comes along and proceeds to saunter on through? Do you lament, "I'm a moron for waiting!" Or do you think out-loud, "Try not to get run over you jack ass!" These benign and tedious social interactions, offer us a glimpse into our inner "moral police," and how we spend more time defending our own egos than actually enjoying this inspiring moment in time.
I don't believe we are abandoning morals in our society as a whole. We still lean heavily on moral arguments to justify our daily behavior (topic for another day … ), although we tend to prop ourselves up on "morals" more randomly, pulling out whatever moral code serves our interests best in any given situation. So how do we begin to tie in morality, which is a painfully tedious and a woefully self-serving discussion. With mindfulness, harmony and surrendering to the moment? Or, simply being?
What ever happened to here-and-now relational responsiveness in our society? Actions that are open-hearted, sympathetic, and not embedded in rigid ideas of the self, and our "personal interest?" Helping the elderly to cross a street or carrying their groceries to the car? Holding a random door open for someone? Waiting at a cross walk, and sharing a smile with the driver, before you both carry on? Its amazing what we can achieve as a society when people go out of their way to help one another with no thought of self-advantage.
Daily Meditation:
Instead of being propelled by an outside force – Morality – Ego – Self Advantage … Allow your heart and spirit to propel you gently this morning.

There are some questions that shouldn't be asked until a person is mature enough to appreciate the answers-
We are made up of many "things," so are our handy gadgets, fancy cars, spiffy shoes, colorful yoga mats and ridiculously expensive bikes – A bunch of cells and molecules blended craftily together. If there's a major distinction to be pointed out between us and these cherished inanimate objects, it's that we tactile beings are blessed with the ability to feel our emotions and to communicate them to others. Or do we?!?
While we have the ability to express our emotions to others, sometimes – most of the time, we don't always do it when we desperately need to. It's important to pause and ask why every once in a while. As you may have noticed in my recent posts, I have been asking myself "why" quite a bit of late. I do so because we live in social media/hyper connected world that tells us, don't feel upset," or don't feel sad, don't worry, and to "Be brave and stand tall" when adversity graces our lives. It's also important to remember that the world we live in has a double-edge sword, waiting patiently to chop our heads off when our emotions sway the opposite direction, when we boast and brag about a new gadget, personal best and buying a new bike. The net result of all of "this," is one sad but brutally true underlying message – Stop being and don't feel anything.
Daily Meditation:
My posts of late have been painfully tedious for one important reason: I'm starting to make a habit of honoring myself and you, each and every day. One last question before we part ways this morning: Before you click "publish, "like" or post anything online … Is there a moment where you think about the ramifications of your action(s), a moment where you stop being and fail to feel anything?!?

The parts of me that used to think I was different or smarter or whatever, almost made me die-
Nineteen powerful words by David Foster Wallace that truly defined who I used to be.
Last night, while making pizza with my Son, I missed an entire meaningful conversation about the new Star Wars movie he was trying to have with me. I was completely tuned out, and not because I was engrossed in making pizza and snacking on tortilla chips, but because I was engrossed in a NPR news story being played through a small speaker attached to my gadget-thing.
Side Note: Men reading this morning, and ladies alike – because as cunning and sly as you may be … I enjoy taking an extra-long time in the bathroom with my iThingy, I use my small arsenal of "mindless" apps as a means to escape the stress and chaos that often seems to accompany me throughout the day.
These periods of mindless isolation normally do not last very long, usually until one leg falls asleep or NPR news starts getting all high-minded and political while preparing dinner. I genuinely welcome these temporary escapes from the daily grind, although, how much is too much? Honestly, I don't have an answer to give you and I'd be surprised if anyone else does either.
Daily Meditation:
Perhaps, maybe, it would be ideal if we reintroduced "intention" and "purpose" to our gadget use, even during the times when we are not using them. How cool would it be if we motivated each other to unplug at a time we are normally plugged in? Raise your hand if you are on your gadget minutes after finishing yoga class, in the restroom or making dinner?!? – notice my hands waving in the breeze – Just imagine the new sounds, the new encounters that awaken when we expose our true selves, to the very real world we call home …

We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light–
These early morning cycling commutes have me thinking about fear, a lot …
Maybe I'm out of touch this morning, although I don't think anyone in their right mind wishes to walk this beautiful path in life completely fearless. At least after the rush of a close encounter, we can appreciate that our internal warning "thing" is aligned with the red traffic light up ahead, preventing us from crossing the intersection and becoming tasty roadkill for the turkey vultures circling above (I miss roundabouts). Thinking about this for a moment, I don't think I know anyone who appreciates being afraid for no good reason, or even just being anxious about future events; which just so happens to be my definition of being a "worry wort."
Once I start worrying above and beyond what is needed for the most basic survival (food – water – family – bikes – fantasy hockey …), worry builds upon worry, and my thoughts spin out of control. The question is what to do about worrying when it makes no sense?!?
: Take a deep breath and return to the present moment :
Daily Meditation:
Our "worried" minds are accustomed to seeing only the negative in life, ignoring the awe-inspiring spectacle of beauty, love, and boundless opportunity that awaits us. Instead of "worrying" about these threats – Red Lights – Road Kill – Turkey Vultures … Maybe we can hone in on what is right in our life, the "little" things, such as the beautiful sky above, dew on a blade of grass and the Pittsburgh Penguins being eliminated from the NHL playoffs.

For after all, the best thing one can do when it is raining is let it rain–
With our attention spans growing smaller, we often find ourselves bored and impatient – A potent mix indeed. The more we feel "trapped" in any given situation—listening to a co-worker's weekend triumph(s), waiting in line for a chai tea latte, the more impatient we become. If we can't access the MindBody app thing on our gadget, our increasing anxiety, sprinkled with the slow passage of time, stinks – big time!
Question is: What can we do about it?
My go to cure for boredom and impatience? Is to make sure I have regular, new challenges and interesting things to do each and every day. Why? To make sure I maintain an emotional balance; I need a generous dose of "down time" time to rest my mind and my nerves.
Daily Meditation:
Take a moment to recognize your boredom this week, the tedium of daily life that pisses you off. Then when you sense ennui settling in, make a mental shift … As soon as you take your next deep breath.

Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing
and rightdoing there is a field.
I'll meet you there.
When the soul lies down in that grass
the world is too full to talk about–
What is keeping you from being truly happy?!?
Maybe it's not even the weight itself that you really seek to lose. Maybe what you really want to rid yourself of, is not the extra pounds, but rather the unhappiness you have learned to associate with it?!?
What if you could be happy without having to change or "fix" your body?
The kind of happiness I want to discuss, differs dramatically, from the temporary warmth and comfort that comes from getting what you want; stepping on the scale one morning and noticing a few pounds have vanished or a friend noticing you look amazing in your new yoga pants. The happiness I want to passionately share with you, is deeper and more abiding – dude. My definition of happiness is rooted in a sense of peace and well-being that cannot be "gained" nor can it be "lost" …
My kind of happiness? Is already part of your true self. It's not hidden in the numbers displayed on an antiseptic scale. It's not in the latest fashion trends from Lululemon, and it is certainly not from a friend.
My kind of happiness is the fruit of repeated acts of daily kindness, compassion, patience, forgiveness, courage, and love towards myself and others.
Daily Meditation:
Cultivating my kind of happiness? True happiness as defined by me? Is a beautiful smile that graces your adoring face walking past a mirror, and practicing peace, with your body.
