The round was led by Ballistic Ventures and joined by Silver Buckshot, Mantis VC, and returning backers General Catalyst, Human Capital, and Box Group. With this, Zip’s total funding now stands at $21 million.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;While tech giants can afford sprawling security teams, most small and mid-sized businesses can&#39;t. Research shows that up to 95% of companies with fewer than 100 employees don’t have a single cybersecurity professional on staff. These companies represent over half of U.S. GDP and remain dangerously exposed. The old model of relying on costly consultants or MSSPs just doesn’t work anymore.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That’s where Zip steps in. By automating security operations like endpoint protection, access control, compliance tracking, and mobile device management, the startup promises a plug-and-play security stack that teams can manage without hiring outside experts. It’s a shift made possible by recent leaps in AI and automation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“For every dollar companies spend on security tools, many spend several more on services and consulting just to get those tools working. Cybersecurity shouldn&#39;t be a luxury only big businesses can afford,” said Josh Zweig, CEO and co-founder, highlighting the significance of the announcement.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Founded by ex-Palantir engineers Zweig and Gabbi Merz, Zip connects with tools like CrowdStrike, Google Workspace, Microsoft Intune, Okta, Entra ID, Jamf, and more, making it a fit not just for scrappy startups but also larger enterprises looking to simplify bloated security workflows.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One recent update from Zip includes a special offer aimed at early-stage startups. Any company from Pre-seed to Series B can get two months of free access to the platform by booking a demo before August 14, 2025.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Zip plans to use the new capital to expand its engineering and sales teams, roll out new integrations, and grow its presence in industries like health, defense, and finance. And with the cybersecurity market projected to hit $2 trillion &lt;i&gt;(much of it untapped),&lt;/i&gt; the company is aiming to bring enterprise-grade security to the rest of the internet.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/4774765647876578932'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/4774765647876578932'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/zip-security-raises-135m-to-bring-automated-cybersecurity-to-underserved-businesses.html' title='Zip Security Raises $13.5M to Bring Automated Cybersecurity to Underserved Businesses'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGqkQdSOMn76O9aalwubh94Ozo6O5ichnlpN462PS4r6ZjsfHNXWzt5uucQCcMlpQwL-x5sSicKoTMtzomt1WoZQmMb9fEdITE4Af95wfcgj6FwDG-gNhoxbKhv9GSt5XuQAkRSb7YD7K4XyyuljmGOsjFCuEYWzHrLsqjuUpBjGobwiqhgGlmmrbaPaW7/s72-c/12.webp" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-8821508190062807636</id><published>2025-07-14T14:12:00.008-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-14T14:13:23.184-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Dental Care"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Health"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Wellness"/><title type='text'>The Hidden Link Between Your Smile and Overall Wellness</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;The Hidden Link Between Your Smile and Overall Wellness&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;919&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAyF5tPqdqzpmGdZKRs-rfL-_y5aaPAy08Ch43w3TT67S7MWh4_6kApYK9g8LMskWok_5rvY_ZVQqfOWirLESj_PlG-pbPCOca16HtturZS7ieDPwLdy1_wyJN6dS7s1G9YLX1eY61uT-dcNC1fFD149jiF78Y8f2fVKkyfv2nA-QG6ZPmKOwWOlDQyEc1/s16000/12.jpg&quot; title=&quot;The Hidden Link Between Your Smile and Overall Wellness&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your smile is a reflection of not just your mood but also your health. What if we told you that your dental health is intricately tied to your overall wellness? From your heart to your lungs, and even your pregnancy outcomes, the health of your mouth has far-reaching implications. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  2. &lt;h2&gt;The Mouth-Body Connection Explained &lt;/h2&gt;
  3. &lt;p&gt;Your mouth is often described as the gateway to your body. While this may sound poetic, it&#39;s very much a scientific truth. The oral cavity is teeming with bacteria, some beneficial, others harmful. When oral hygiene isn&#39;t maintained, harmful bacteria can multiply, potentially entering your bloodstream and affecting various organs. &lt;/p&gt;
  4. &lt;p&gt;Research has consistently shown that the health of your teeth and gums affects many bodily systems. This interconnectedness is called the &quot;oral-systemic link,&quot; and it reveals how problems in your mouth can cascade into more serious health issues. &lt;/p&gt;
  5. &lt;h2&gt;Dental Health and Cardiovascular Disease &lt;/h2&gt;
  6. &lt;p&gt;Did you know that poor oral health can be a risk factor for heart disease? Studies have found a startling connection between &lt;a href=&quot;https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7027895/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;gum disease (periodontitis) and cardiovascular conditions&lt;/a&gt; like heart attack and stroke. &lt;/p&gt;
  7. &lt;p&gt;When plaque builds up on your teeth, it can lead to gum inflammation and eventually, gum disease. The bacteria responsible for periodontal disease can travel through your bloodstream and contribute to the formation of plaque in your arteries, a condition known as atherosclerosis. This restricts blood flow, elevating your risk of severe heart issues. &lt;/p&gt;
  8. &lt;p&gt;Maintaining great oral hygiene isn&#39;t just about having a sparkling smile. It also protects your heart in the long run. &lt;/p&gt;
  9. &lt;h2&gt;The Impact of Oral Bacteria on Respiratory Health &lt;/h2&gt;
  10. &lt;p&gt;Your lungs may seem far removed from your mouth, but oral bacteria can play a role in respiratory health. Harmful microorganisms in your mouth are easily inhaled, potentially leading to infections and conditions such as pneumonia and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). &lt;/p&gt;
  11. &lt;p&gt;Research has shown that individuals with gum disease are more likely to develop respiratory problems. Caring for your oral health can minimize this risk and keep both your smile and your lungs in great shape. &lt;/p&gt;
  12. &lt;h2&gt;Gum Disease and Diabetes: A Two-Way Street &lt;/h2&gt;
  13. &lt;p&gt;If you have diabetes, you&#39;ve likely been advised to take good care of your oral health. That&#39;s because the relationship between gum disease and diabetes is bidirectional. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;How Gum Disease Worsens Diabetes&lt;/li&gt;
  14. &lt;/ul&gt;
  15. &lt;p&gt;Inflammation from advanced gum disease can increase blood sugar levels, making it harder to control diabetes. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;
  16. How Diabetes Contributes to Gum Disease&lt;/li&gt;
  17. &lt;/ul&gt;
  18. &lt;p&gt;People with diabetes are at a higher risk of developing gum infections due to reduced immunity and slower wound healing. &lt;/p&gt;
  19. &lt;p&gt;Regular dental visits are essential for those with diabetes. Tackling gum issues early can help regulate blood sugar, and likewise, controlling diabetes can lower your risk of gum disease. &lt;/p&gt;
  20. &lt;h2&gt;The Role of Oral Health in Pregnancy Outcomes &lt;/h2&gt;
  21. &lt;p&gt;Pregnancy is an incredible time, but it also places extra demands on your body, including your oral health. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can make your gums more sensitive and prone to inflammation, a condition known as pregnancy gingivitis. &lt;/p&gt;
  22. &lt;p&gt;Alarmingly, untreated gum disease during pregnancy has been linked to negative outcomes like preterm birth and low birth weight. Researchers believe harmful bacteria from gum infections could enter the bloodstream, triggering inflammation in the placenta. &lt;/p&gt;
  23. &lt;p&gt;Expecting moms should prioritize oral hygiene through regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups. &lt;/p&gt;
  24. &lt;h2&gt;Simple Steps to Improve Your Oral and Overall Health &lt;/h2&gt;
  25. &lt;p&gt;Taking care of your smile is easier than you think. A few simple steps can make a world of difference for both your oral and overall health. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;1. Brush and Floss Daily&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
  26. &lt;/ol&gt;
  27. &lt;p&gt;The foundation of good oral hygiene is brushing twice a day and flossing once a day. This helps remove plaque and food particles that can lead to decay and gum disease. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;2. Visit Your Dentist Regularly&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
  28. &lt;/ol&gt;
  29. &lt;p&gt;Routine dental visits can help catch problems early, preventing them from causing more serious health issues. If you&#39;ve lost teeth due to decay or injury, consider implants. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.drimplantexpert.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Dental implants, like those offered in clinics in Delray Beach&lt;/a&gt;, not only restore your smile but also prevent bone loss and help maintain the structure of your jaw. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;3. Eat a Balanced Diet&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
  30. &lt;/ol&gt;
  31. &lt;p&gt;A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains keeps your teeth healthy and provides the nutrients your body needs to fight infections. Limit sugary snacks and beverages to prevent tooth decay. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;4. Quit Smoking&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
  32. &lt;/ol&gt;
  33. &lt;p&gt;Smoking weakens your immune system, making it harder for your body to fight gum infections. Quitting is one of the best things you can do for your oral and general health. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;5. Stay Hydrated&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
  34. &lt;/ol&gt;
  35. &lt;p&gt;Drinking water helps wash away food particles and keeps your mouth well-lubricated, reducing the risk of dry mouth and cavities. &lt;/p&gt;
  36. &lt;p&gt;If you&#39;re looking for more personalized advice, we recommend speaking with a dental professional. They can provide tailored recommendations to boost your oral and overall wellness. &lt;/p&gt;
  37. &lt;h2&gt;Conclusion&lt;/h2&gt;
  38. &lt;p&gt;Your oral health is more than cosmetic; it&#39;s a vital piece of your overall well-being. Whether it&#39;s reducing your risk of heart disease, improving diabetes control, or safeguarding your pregnancy, taking care of your smile can have profound effects on your life. &lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/8821508190062807636'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/8821508190062807636'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/the-hidden-link-between-your-smile-and-overall-wellness.html' title='The Hidden Link Between Your Smile and Overall Wellness'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAyF5tPqdqzpmGdZKRs-rfL-_y5aaPAy08Ch43w3TT67S7MWh4_6kApYK9g8LMskWok_5rvY_ZVQqfOWirLESj_PlG-pbPCOca16HtturZS7ieDPwLdy1_wyJN6dS7s1G9YLX1eY61uT-dcNC1fFD149jiF78Y8f2fVKkyfv2nA-QG6ZPmKOwWOlDQyEc1/s72-c/12.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-3978281706503659235</id><published>2025-07-14T13:54:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-14T13:55:41.588-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Buying Guides"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Home Appliances"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="India"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Kitchen"/><title type='text'>Buy Online 4 Burner Gas Stove: What to Consider Before You Shop</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Buy Online 4 Burner Gas Stove: What to Consider Before You Shop&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;853&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIn7boHqTI1CudHXEcFn5nzOA6lZISpd4Zzz0dnXtZ49CslPgNuTT72A7ycVebVAjlmy42ma0oV5i8V0oanevPbEvlu8MICQgxhJbuRM38YofD2yUhPYyzivFtOVINF6_t0d8OJ0JGYdOtBDOTgJYUcRRUwEg7_pCpVKt0nLCSILsdxL13nXn1BrPctYQC/s16000/12.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Buy Online 4 Burner Gas Stove: What to Consider Before You Shop&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The question of what to consider before buying an online four-burner gas stove comes to the mind of almost every buyer who is either purchasing for the first time or revamping their traditional gas stove. If you want to save time and money on purchasing the right 4-burner stove for your kitchen, then this guide is just for you. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  39. &lt;p&gt;The four-burner gas stove is more than just a gas stove; it&#39;s the preparation for an effortless cooking journey. This kind of kitchen appliance makes our daily tasks so simple that we don&#39;t feel any frustration after entering the kitchen. However, there are hundreds of options available, and we like almost every one, but we are unable to understand which one would be suitable for our kitchen. &lt;/p&gt;
  40. &lt;p&gt;In this guide, we&#39;re going to explain things to consider before you &lt;a href=&quot;https://glenindia.com/collections/4-burner-gas-stove&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;buy online 4 burner gas&lt;/a&gt; stove and the best kitchen appliance supplier from which you can purchase one without the excuse of a hefty 4-burner stove price. &lt;/p&gt;
  41. &lt;h2&gt;1. Know Your Cooking Style &lt;/h2&gt;
  42. &lt;p&gt;Without knowing the type or style of cooking you do, you will end up buying the wrong four-burner gas stove for your kitchen. That&#39;s why you evaluate yourself first about your &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.allblogthings.com/2023/06/cooking-with-style-how-ilve-dual-fuel-ranges-combine-performance-and-elegance.html&quot; target=&quot;&quot;&gt;cooking style&lt;/a&gt;, whether you&#39;ve a large family or a small one, or how often you cook. &lt;/p&gt;
  43. &lt;h2&gt;2. Understanding Burner Power (BTUs)&lt;/h2&gt;
  44. &lt;p&gt;There are a number of ranges available in the four burner gas stove based on the different types of cooking needs. One will be of high power burner, another one will be of low power and next two will be of mid range. Such variety in options provide a bit more flexibility to meet your cooking needs rather than settling for four equal burners.&lt;/p&gt;
  45. &lt;h2&gt;3. Quality and Materials&lt;/h2&gt;
  46. &lt;p&gt;For an enhanced cooking experience, ensure your four-burner gas stove meets the standards of quality and durability. The premium-quality kitchen appliance runs for a long time, requires minimal manual effort for cleaning and maintenance, and offers durability. In this way, you don&#39;t need to look for another purchase every time.&lt;/p&gt;
  47. &lt;h2&gt;4. Safety and Ventilation&lt;/h2&gt;
  48. &lt;p&gt;Gas stoves are like a live bomb in the kitchen if you don&#39;t pay extra attention to their safety and a perfect setup. Ensure that the stove you plan to buy has all the necessary safety features that keep your family protected from kitchen hazards. Additionally, proper ventilation is necessary to maintain good indoor air quality. &lt;/p&gt;
  49. &lt;h2&gt;5. Ignition Type &lt;/h2&gt;
  50. &lt;p&gt;Before making a purchase, check the ignition system available in your four-burner gas stove: manual or automatic ignition. &lt;/p&gt;
  51. &lt;p&gt;Manual ignition requires manual operation, while auto ignition is convenient and facilitates easy cooking. &lt;/p&gt;

The look and feel of a workplace can critically affect employee productivity, client perception and the general performance of the business. That&#39;s why partnering with a professional &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.sennexconsultants.com/expertise/office-interior-design/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;office interior design company&lt;/a&gt; can be one of the smartest decisions you can make.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  70. &lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Why Your Office Design Deserves Strategic Attention&lt;/h2&gt;
  71. &lt;p&gt;The office isn&#39;t just a field of work; it represents physically how your brand stands, its values and even its culture. Interior design plays a crucial role for startups seeking to attract top talent or established firms seeking to revitalise their environments.&lt;/p&gt;
  72. &lt;p&gt;A poorly designed space can hinder collaboration, affect employee well-being and leave a dull impression on visitors. Conversely, a thoughtfully designed office can elevate morale, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/04/how-compliance-monitoring-software-can-streamline-your-risk-management.html&quot;&gt;streamline workflows&lt;/a&gt; and reinforce your company identity.&lt;/p&gt;
  73. &lt;p&gt;What an Office Interior Design Company Brings to the Table&lt;/p&gt;
  74. &lt;p&gt;You will hire a professional interior design firm whereby your workspace becomes functional and compact, yet it builds a beautiful ambience for business, following your unique needs. Here is what a good interior design company offers:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;1. Tailored Planning and Strategy&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
  75. &lt;/ol&gt;
  76.  
  77.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;They assess your team&#39;s working style, needs and growth plans.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Layouts are developed to support both collaboration and focus.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  78. &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;2. Brand Alignment&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
  79. &lt;/ol&gt;
  80.  
  81.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Your visual identity is reflected through your colours, materials and layout choices.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Custom signage, artwork and finishes reinforce who you are.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  82. &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;3. Productivity and Well-Being Focus&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
  83. &lt;/ol&gt;
  84.  
  85.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Design choices promote comfort, movement and mental wellness.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bright sunshine shining through the windows, ergonomic furniture and acoustic solutions allow people to flourish.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  86. &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;4. Sustainable Design Options&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
  87. &lt;/ol&gt;
  88.  
  89.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Numerous companies now specialise in producing eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient systems for commercial use.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A green office could save money, but it also works beautifully with your sense of corporate responsibility.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  90. &lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;5. Project Management Expertise&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
  91. &lt;/ol&gt;
  92.  
  93.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;From design to construction, they will provide timelines, suppliers and installation.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Their expertise reduces downtime and ensures a smoother transition.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  94. &lt;/ul&gt;
  95. &lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Must-Have Office Features in Today&#39;s Business World&lt;/h2&gt;
  96. &lt;p&gt;Contemporary offices are reshaping themselves to shift towards the hybrid model of working, collaborating with workers and worker well-being. The interior design experience will fuse flexible spaces, breakout areas and quiet rooms with technology to achieve seamless communication and remote access.&lt;/p&gt;
  97. &lt;p&gt;Effective design goes beyond functionality-it also fosters comfort and sets the right tone. Clever storage solutions and a clutter-free layout can make a space feel larger, while biophilic touches like greenery and natural textures help elevate mood and well-being. Features such as wellness rooms, coffee stations and staff-friendly amenities contribute to a vibrant and more &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.comcare.gov.au/safe-healthy-work/healthy-workplace/benefits&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;productive work environment&lt;/a&gt;. Wellness suites, coffee stations and other such amenities for staff promote a lively, more productive workplace.&lt;/p&gt;
  98. &lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Workspaces Designed to Drive Your Success&lt;/h2&gt;
  99. &lt;p&gt;If your business is growing, shifting, or simply overdue for a refresh, investing in expert office design is more than an aesthetic upgrade-it&#39;s a strategic move. The right office interior design company will help you maximise your space and align it with your business goals and branding.&lt;/p&gt;

Beta 2 introduced darker blurs and a contrast mode; beta 3 further reduced transparency and darkened navigation bars in key apps like Apple Music and the App Store to enhance readability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;One critic noted that while these shifts “enhance accessibility and contrast, some believe Apple is compromising its original design vision”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Developer forums also highlight improvements in Control Center legibility: comments include “far harder to read” with high transparency, whereas betas 2 and 3 offer clearer icons and reduced visual clutter.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Aside from visual adjustments, iOS 26 introduces features that reflect Apple&#39;s deeper push into AI and communication refinement. Highlights include live translation in Messages, FaceTime, and Phone; polls within group chats; enhanced call and message screening; dynamic controls within Control Center; and a revamped Phone app accessible on iPad.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Security upgrades include quantum-secure TLS, a Recovery Assistant for startup issues, and tighter control over wired accessory permissions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Considering the public beta level, experts advise caution. Troubles may range from battery drain and app incompatibilities to unfamiliar UI quirks. Pros recommend avoiding installation on a primary device and maintaining a robust backup—preferably via Mac—due to potential rollback difficulties.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Bottom line for beta testers and industry watchers: iOS 26’s public beta delivers a clear picture of Apple’s direction—an interface anchored in style, tempered by usability, and underpinned by AI-powered features. The coming weeks of testing should reveal whether Apple can balance its aesthetic ambition with real-world functionality ahead of the expected full release in September, likely coinciding with the iPhone 17 lineup.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Expert tips for early adopters:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Use a secondary device, not your daily driver.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Back up to Mac or iCloud before installing; rollback may lead to data loss, especially WhatsApp history.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Explore the new visual and accessibility settings, especially Contrast Mode and tinted navigation bars, and submit detailed feedback via Apple’s Feedback Assistant.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apple’s path with iOS 26 suggests an evolving stance: pushing aesthetic boundaries while responding to concerns around clarity and function.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You can download the beta version of iOS 26 for all devices in fall 2025 from &lt;a href=&quot;https://beta.apple.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;this link&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the iOS 26&#39;s public beta unfolds, the dialogue between design vision and user reality will shape the final release this fall.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/8972188663970521761'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/8972188663970521761'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/ios-26-public-beta-arrives-amid-bold-interface-redesign-and-usability-tweaks.html' title='iOS 26 Public Beta Arrives Amid Bold Interface Redesign and Usability Tweaks'/><author><name>Umer Idrisi</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16551852107804252606</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuSMQlIQQa_A-dpHn-73cOTgB52g7VFD9Ixv3ZOv1O1Dn4gk6bh7o4G3AtrqVdSlRrO5DZkUanYI34YpIVIQCV1D8YFVQhFRZKh1gfl1Zj0UFQt7sjk7yrmatWdrWQ2FfNUuiUk0vck9VLaFnDyoUiB3FC8bq6wi9cdc2Gi4YMWMa5QQ/s220/12.jpeg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVu9VcNGji6OiQy1Mrv5a9lVaIQFCbFFli35nblxishYpvKIfi73MOixwAtwn1XfjQlwawqKU3kGC3XoZRZUPtdEwHTVgo72ZI0up1wRRxjgLVrW00-USjc1tU7tUjsRqMN25Yx2H3DVhyiTHxpu9bn9q89mpe88FuixcLjI2rXBFWTj3LNdIU7dHGSceT/s72-c/Screenshot%202025-07-14%20at%2010.23.48%20PM.png" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-7699885139107468035</id><published>2025-07-14T09:20:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-14T09:20:40.084-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Entertainment"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="News"/><title type='text'>Superman Soars to $217 Million Global Debut at Box Office</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;James Gunn’s rebooted Superman, starring David Corenswet, opened to strong numbers worldwide, grossing $122 million in North America and $95 million overseas with a total of $217 million over its debut weekend.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Superman Soars to $217 Million Global Debut at Box Office&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;380&quot; data-original-width=&quot;700&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ylxPAE-4dDw-hzYY1bPMYU7U0T-P-qZ7qFgXNiP_CwxCsGIU5JoXP2TeKkrnkOGnhaanDf5E6A79IJcRClAVSK2zYoGT-N749P7mfNp23FKea_h-7XTX_o1HBivTvnKWAD4JEaZKBsh8niHW297983wmR0rqioM0HEP-sElP-Gt_z5hKQF1wT3Du-F44/s16000/12.webp&quot; title=&quot;Superman Soars to $217 Million Global Debut at Box Office&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gunn, who wrote and directed the film, steps into DC Studios’ leadership alongside Peter Safran, marking the first release under their joint banner. The production carried a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.polygon.com/dc/612831/superman-box-office-opening&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;reported&lt;/a&gt; $225 million budget, and U.S. box office performance exceeded expectations, making it one of only three films in 2025 to surpass $100 million domestically during opening weekend.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Critics responded favorably, with Rotten Tomatoes assigning an 82% fresh rating and CinemaScore users giving an A‑ grade. This reception helped the movie outperform 2013’s Man of Steel, which debuted with $116 million, and positioned it just shy of the record held by 2016’s Batman v Superman, which opened with $166 million.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;International results were solid, though China contributed only $6.6 million, highlighting Superman’s more limited resonance outside North America.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Overall, summer ticket sales &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.barrons.com/articles/superman-warner-bros-box-office-7f7b2247&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;rose roughly&lt;/a&gt; 16.5% compared to the previous year, largely due to Superman and other hits like &lt;i&gt;Jurassic World Rebirth&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;James Gunn characterized Superman’s role in the story as representing an “immigrant,” reflecting themes about kindness and belonging. He acknowledged that some viewers found the framing political, but maintained it was a moral, not partisan, interpretation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Former Superman actor Dean Cain criticized the approach, calling it “woke,” though box-office figures so far suggest audiences remain supportive.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Warner Bros. reportedly expected a global take of between $500–700 million to generate profit. Industry analysts point out that early tracking had suggested the potential to exceed $1 billion worldwide, though current figures fall short.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Still, the film’s healthy opening places it within reach of financial viability.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In comparison among DC’s standalone hero films, Superman now ranks third for global launches, behind The Batman ($258 million) and Wonder Woman ($228 million), edging past Man of Steel’s $200 million debut.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As the first major release under Gunn and Safran, Superman’s performance will serve as a benchmark for DC Studios’ future. With Supergirl scheduled for 2026 and a slate of TV and film projects ahead, the attention now turns to whether Superman can maintain momentum beyond its opening weekend.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/7699885139107468035'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/7699885139107468035'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/superman-soars-to-217million-global.html' title='Superman Soars to $217 Million Global Debut at Box Office'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0ylxPAE-4dDw-hzYY1bPMYU7U0T-P-qZ7qFgXNiP_CwxCsGIU5JoXP2TeKkrnkOGnhaanDf5E6A79IJcRClAVSK2zYoGT-N749P7mfNp23FKea_h-7XTX_o1HBivTvnKWAD4JEaZKBsh8niHW297983wmR0rqioM0HEP-sElP-Gt_z5hKQF1wT3Du-F44/s72-c/12.webp" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-625778163276831323</id><published>2025-07-14T04:01:00.013-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-14T09:31:38.879-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Information"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Money"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Space"/><title type='text'>Investing Beyond Earth: Alexander Pazionis Explores How the Space Economy Is Shaping Future-Proof Business Strategies</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Investing Beyond Earth: Alexander Pazionis Explores How the Space Economy Is Shaping Future-Proof Business Strategies&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1080&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1920&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgttvLB41gnfanlVBUeaATPvBMuzD_VOMCdF5CsWbHD7VPvV1lSxt-eP0dgiQ7C-YDtXsnfSGmAmlThSGF-0fE6jNc5ncBHW03mULp18scyquqV2YWvOwfSVypFC7CnwfrS0U85-aDxjLXuF7daPoJoiPSqywhshb3CL3_9-70MGNKWlrrsLzAsK6Cnf2Fr/s16000/12.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Investing Beyond Earth: Alexander Pazionis Explores How the Space Economy Is Shaping Future-Proof Business Strategies&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The space economy is no longer just a futuristic idea; it&#39;s a present-day reality. Companies worldwide are investing in space technologies and services. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bignewsnetwork.com/news/278395321/beyond-the-toy-aisle-alexander-pazionis-shares-advanced-lego-builds-that-challenge-and-inspire-grown-up-fans&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Alexander Pazionis&lt;/a&gt; discusses this shift as a sign that innovative strategies are now on the rise.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  101. &lt;h2&gt;A Market That&#39;s Taking Off&lt;/h2&gt;
  102. &lt;p&gt;Space is becoming one of the fastest-growing sectors in the global economy. From satellite internet to orbital tourism, business is booming beyond the atmosphere. The market is expected to reach over a trillion dollars in the next few decades.&lt;/p&gt;
  103. &lt;p&gt;SpaceX, Blue Origin, and other private players have made space more accessible. Lower costs and reusable rockets have opened the door for commercial ventures. As a result, industries once dominated by government agencies are now up for grabs.&lt;/p&gt;
  104. &lt;p&gt;This accessibility is reshaping how businesses think about risk and opportunity. Investing in space isn&#39;t just bold, it&#39;s increasingly practical. Savvy investors are watching closely.&lt;/p&gt;
  105. &lt;h2&gt;Satellite Services: The Quiet Powerhouse&lt;/h2&gt;
  106. &lt;p&gt;Much of the space economy&#39;s current strength lies in satellite services. These systems power everything from GPS and weather tracking to global communications. If your phone works or your packages arrive on time, satellites play a part.&lt;/p&gt;
  107. &lt;p&gt;Companies like Starlink and OneWeb are racing to cover the Earth in satellite networks. Their goal is to provide global internet access, particularly in underserved regions. That means more people online and more markets to serve.&lt;/p&gt;
  108. &lt;p&gt;For businesses, &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pwc.com/us/en/industries/industrial-products/library/space-economy-data-driven-business-growth.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;satellite services&lt;/a&gt; unlock a massive amount of data potential. Agriculture, insurance, logistics, and finance all benefit from real-time global insights. It&#39;s a behind-the-scenes revolution with significant returns.&lt;/p&gt;
  109. &lt;h2&gt;Future-Proofing Through Infrastructure&lt;/h2&gt;
  110. &lt;p&gt;The next phase of the space economy is all about infrastructure. This includes orbital stations, fuel depots, lunar habitats, and deep-space transport systems. These building blocks will make space commerce more routine and scalable.&lt;/p&gt;
  111. &lt;p&gt;Infrastructure investment is nothing new; it&#39;s what made railroads, highways, and the internet grow. The same logic applies to space. Early movers in space infrastructure could become the backbone of tomorrow&#39;s economy.&lt;/p&gt;
  112. &lt;p&gt;Startups and major corporations alike are developing modular hardware, autonomous robots, and in-space construction tools. These innovations support future industries that don&#39;t yet exist, but will soon.&lt;/p&gt;
  113. &lt;h2&gt;Manufacturing In Microgravity&lt;/h2&gt;
  114. &lt;p&gt;One of the most promising but lesser-known opportunities is space-based manufacturing. In zero gravity, materials behave differently. This opens the door to creating products that are currently hard or impossible to produce on Earth.&lt;/p&gt;
  115. &lt;p&gt;High-quality fiber optics, human tissue, and even semiconductors could be produced in orbit. Experiments on the International Space Station have already proven the concept. The goal now is to scale up.&lt;/p&gt;
  116. &lt;p&gt;For forward-thinking investors, this represents a way to get ahead of future supply chains. Microgravity manufacturing could lead to better products and new business models. It&#39;s an innovation from above.&lt;/p&gt;
  117. &lt;h2&gt;Mining The Final Frontier&lt;/h2&gt;
  118. &lt;p&gt;Space resources are a hot topic among futurists and entrepreneurs. Asteroids and the Moon contain valuable materials like platinum, nickel, and water ice. These can fuel both industry and human survival in space.&lt;/p&gt;
  119. &lt;p&gt;Companies are exploring how to mine and process these resources. Although early-stage, the tech is advancing fast. And with the rising demand for rare Earth elements, alternatives are becoming increasingly attractive.&lt;/p&gt;
  120. &lt;p&gt;Water in space can be split into hydrogen and oxygen, which is a type of rocket fuel. That means less reliance on Earth launches and more autonomy in orbit. Strategic access to these materials could significantly reshape the global energy and logistics landscape.&lt;/p&gt;
  121. &lt;h2&gt;Space Tourism And The New Luxury Market&lt;/h2&gt;
  122. &lt;p&gt;Space tourism may seem like a rich person&#39;s hobby, but it&#39;s more than that. Companies like Virgin Galactic and Blue Origin have already flown paying passengers. This marks the beginning of a new industry with significant long-term potential.&lt;/p&gt;
  123. &lt;p&gt;Right now, the price tag is steep. However, just as air travel in the early 1900s, costs will eventually come down. That opens space to a broader customer base over time.&lt;/p&gt;
  124. &lt;p&gt;For brands, this creates new arenas in hospitality, entertainment, and design. What does a luxury space hotel look like? Forward-thinking businesses are already sketching the answers.&lt;/p&gt;
  125. &lt;h2&gt;Strategic Diversification: Earth + Orbit&lt;/h2&gt;
  126. &lt;p&gt;Space investments also offer strategic diversification. They&#39;re not tied to the same risks as traditional sectors. That makes them attractive for businesses planning 10, 20, or 30 years in the future.&lt;/p&gt;
  127. &lt;p&gt;The same company building satellites could also monitor climate risks, track supply chains, and deliver global broadband. It&#39;s multiple industries, all from one platform. That kind of flexibility is hard to beat.&lt;/p&gt;
  128. &lt;p&gt;As global challenges, such as climate change and resource scarcity, grow, space-based tools offer new solutions. Businesses that think beyond Earth may become the most resilient of all.&lt;/p&gt;
  129. &lt;h2&gt;Government Partnerships And Policy Support&lt;/h2&gt;
  130. &lt;p&gt;One reason space is heating up now is because governments are encouraging it. Agencies such as NASA and &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.esa.int/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ESA&lt;/a&gt;, along with other organizations, are collaborating with private firms through partnerships and funding programs. That reduces risk and builds trust.&lt;/p&gt;
  131. &lt;p&gt;Public-private partnerships have fast-tracked innovation. Companies get access to launchpads, data, and experience. Governments get new technologies and economic growth.&lt;/p&gt;
  132. &lt;p&gt;Clearer regulations are also helping. As space law evolves, businesses get more confidence. And where there&#39;s clarity, capital follows.&lt;/p&gt;
  133. &lt;h2&gt;Rethinking Innovation And Ambition&lt;/h2&gt;
  134. &lt;p&gt;Investing in space isn&#39;t just about money; it&#39;s about mindset. It challenges companies to think bigger, longer-term, and more globally. That&#39;s a shift many businesses need to maintain relevance in a rapidly changing world.&lt;/p&gt;
  135. &lt;p&gt;The space economy encourages breakthrough thinking. It blurs the line between science, business, and imagination. That energy can permeate every aspect of a company&#39;s culture.&lt;/p&gt;
  136. &lt;p&gt;Leaders like Alexander Pazionis understand that space isn&#39;t just a destination, it&#39;s a strategy. A way to stay curious, courageous, and competitive in a world that&#39;s rapidly evolving.&lt;/p&gt;
  137. &lt;h2&gt;Conclusion&lt;/h2&gt;
  138. &lt;p&gt;Space is no longer just a distant dream. It&#39;s a growing marketplace that&#39;s changing how we build, connect, and invest. From satellites to tourism to asteroid mining, the opportunities are vast. And they&#39;re getting closer every year.

Scientists confirmed safe return of telemetry on December 26, indicating the spacecraft and its carbon-composite heat shield are functioning within design specifications.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WISPR (Wide-Field Imager for Solar Probe) captured structures in the corona and solar wind, revealing magnetic switchbacks and the heliospheric current sheet, identifying areas where solar magnetic fields flip direction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Unprecedented Views of Coronal Mass Ejections&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Parker recorded multiple coronal mass ejections (CMEs) overlapping in the corona.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Angelos Vourlidas, WISPR’s lead scientist, said, “We’re seeing the CMEs piling up on top of one another,” highlighting how such interactions can influence space weather and affect Earth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This visual evidence enhances understanding of how these plasma bursts travel and merge and also help scientists predict potential hazards to satellites and power grids.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Solar Wind Origins Uncovered&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Data analysis points to the confirmation of two types of solar wind, Alfvénic (fast) and non-Alfvénic (slow). Nour Raouafi, Parker’s project scientist at Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, remarked that this distinction brings researchers closer to identifying the wind’s exact source regions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These findings suggest that fast wind originates from coronal holes, while slower wind emits from helmet streamer regions Nd these are the insights essential for mapping solar-terrestrial interactions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Mission Context and Future Goals&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Launched on August 12, 2018, Parker Solar Probe is the first mission named after a living scientist, Eugene Parker. It has performed seven Venus flybys to gradually decrease its perihelion distance, now orbiting the Sun every three months and each pass is yielding richer insights.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The next close approach is scheduled for September 15, 2025. The mission team plans to build on this data to refine models of solar wind acceleration, coronal heating, and magnetic field dynamics.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The images and measurements gathered during this flyby mark a significant advance in heliophysics. By directly observing plasma structures and magnetic behavior close to the Sun, researchers are better equipped to forecast space weather and safeguard Earth-orbiting systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As Parker continues its journey, its findings promise to deepen our knowledge of stellar physics and inform our growing presence in space.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/3485436203961093982'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/3485436203961093982'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/nasas-parker-solar-probe-captures-closest-ever-images-of-the-sun.html' title='NASA’s Parker Solar Probe Captures Closest-Ever Images of the Sun'/><author><name>Larry Dandy</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/07543099346272468490</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='31' height='21' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbTv7GE-oWFDEWoM8BPSkaB48gcT3sZnzFGx78BAxtGBOaM_bKFQAUB5xh-Qp7XjGUUn_s31y8vJX1ccnFmqsGw4syTp8588LRIzXg51QD_Vic3kWLWgaOwMH1IEpAVg/s220/12.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLsoxqInPIxpXy7qMgYA2H2cpUvFxl_7FgTjM7egvlrTJQCHfYa1CSRXwNvs2WKou6EATsvJwVSxEOw-cs3gpKJPxZ7_Dl5TkaSIoSbQZkKKQqQcxDb-jB3cH_t5WNPe6jNnSEYlWEnyr6xShFj8tHyvB1CW3hQXewBmqUN_jwod7VQFnRyTyYzTJgJYTN/s72-c/IMG_7539.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-2293380801892860691</id><published>2025-07-11T14:32:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-11T14:41:27.804-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Layoffs"/><title type='text'>State Department Layoffs Hit 1,300+ Employees</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;State Department Layoffs Hit 1,300+ Employees&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;567&quot; data-original-width=&quot;800&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib-8z5JIVv5LKNPcLCFfAg3BynQ1Y6YyXwOMshVvG7wc7VF2u3nVzOXf1UpuC2as4uyy2Lz19Udz4ZCpxudiSi3c-Uz4vAs_geilhOaLzYN7cOx9XOLLbUdurl1kaEAVLqGrgXY2viTx_H5oOl0kM6VrKU8Hct1oaF7OsmJg07sUplP06ybIHZvR8-t8iV/s16000/12.jpg&quot; title=&quot;State Department Layoffs Hit 1,300+ Employees&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. State Department initiated &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/supreme-court-enables-trump-administrations-mass-layoffs-amid-ongoing-legal-battle.html&quot;&gt;layoffs&lt;/a&gt; affecting at least 1,353 employees today, according to Reuters, part of a sweeping reorganization originating from the Trump administration’s push toward a leaner federal apparatus.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Notices landed in the inboxes of 1,107 domestic civil service staff and 246 foreign service officers based in the U.S.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This follows the Supreme Court’s recent approval of the plan, which had been paused by lower courts requiring congressional consultation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Deputy Secretary Michael Rigas described the effort as targeting redundant offices and duplicative roles, to “streamline domestic operations to focus on diplomatic priorities”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Separation periods vary—60 days for civil service, and 120 for foreign service officers currently on administrative leave.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Supporters argue this move enhances agility and cuts bureaucratic bloat. Secretary Marco Rubio, visiting Kuala Lumpur, emphasized eliminating positions—not people—and said the department is eliminating structures, not service.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The August plan had been flagged for eliminating nearly 18 % of domestic roles, around 3,000 jobs, when combined with voluntary exits.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Critics counter that the cuts will erode institutional capacity and degrade U.S. diplomacy at a moment of heightened global tensions. The American Academy of Diplomacy calls it “an act of vandalism” that drains expertise required to monitor crises spanning Europe, Africa, and the Middle East.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Foreign service veteran Gordon Duguid says dismissals aren’t merit‑based:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“They’re doing it without any consideration of the worth of the individual people … they just want people who say, ‘OK, how high’ to jump,” and warns this strategy is “a recipe for disaster”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The reorganization also targets USAID functions, absorbing the aid agency into the State Department after deep funding cuts earlier this year.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The focus now shifts to whether the remaining workforce can adapt swiftly or whether diplomatic gaps emerge as emergencies unfold. This remains a pivotal test of governance efficiency versus the need for experienced diplomatic networks on the ground.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/2293380801892860691'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/2293380801892860691'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/state-department-layoffs-hit-1300-employees.html' title='State Department Layoffs Hit 1,300+ Employees'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib-8z5JIVv5LKNPcLCFfAg3BynQ1Y6YyXwOMshVvG7wc7VF2u3nVzOXf1UpuC2as4uyy2Lz19Udz4ZCpxudiSi3c-Uz4vAs_geilhOaLzYN7cOx9XOLLbUdurl1kaEAVLqGrgXY2viTx_H5oOl0kM6VrKU8Hct1oaF7OsmJg07sUplP06ybIHZvR8-t8iV/s72-c/12.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-2548517654132329600</id><published>2025-07-11T14:14:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-11T14:14:30.445-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Education"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Information"/><title type='text'>How AI Tutors Are Changing the Way We Practice English Speaking</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;How AI Tutors Are Changing the Way We Practice English Speaking&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;4912&quot; data-original-width=&quot;7360&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJyNhRuE9oDQvje02LjvjMfB4L0XD5zzoJG3l-n10DrM9gY0pgRQkFcHBdrGbpiCSKXynhAM6A54TPseSku4g_9OTdElOo1wiR7pQrxxwYejl5Earr5Q0se4vlrLPg4TdQOrko55kkCIVglwgG5v1AcPKxeR7hTLYAPBTPv15RENjeJxyInZ2hiIJV8MpI/s16000/smiling-girl-sitting-on-floor-in-headphones-with-s-2024-11-19-05-10-08-utc1.jpg&quot; title=&quot;How AI Tutors Are Changing the Way We Practice English Speaking&quot; /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Advancements in artificial intelligence have opened up new possibilities in education, especially in the field of language learning. One notable development is the rise of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;AI-powered speaking tools&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt; that help users improve their English in practical, responsive ways, without relying on traditional classroom models or fixed learning environments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  139. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Among these solutions, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Learna AI&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt; stands out as a purpose-built &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;AI language tutor&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt; designed specifically to support speaking practice. By combining natural language processing with adaptive learning flows, the platform enables users, particularly students and independent learners, to simulate real-world conversation in a guided, feedback-driven format.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  140. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Unlike static learning apps, Learna AI doesn&#39;t present content in a one-size-fits-all structure. Instead, it analyzes learner inputs in real time, adjusting each speaking task to match current skill levels. This flexibility, powered by AI, allows for personalized speaking sessions that focus on fluency, structure, and confidence—all of which are key challenges for non-native English speakers.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  141. &lt;h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Speaking Practice Reimagined Through Smart Technology&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  142. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;For years, one of the biggest gaps in English education has been the lack of consistent, low-pressure speaking opportunities. In most academic or self-study settings, learners can access reading and grammar materials but struggle to find effective ways to practice real conversations. AI has begun to close this gap.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  143. &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Learna AI’s speaking-focused architecture&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt; is built around daily interactive sessions. Each session includes a short grammar topic, followed by a roleplay exercise where the user participates in a simulated conversation. These interactions—such as ordering coffee, explaining directions, or preparing for a job interview—train learners to apply grammar knowledge in fluid speech rather than static drills.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  144. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;The product is structured to remove friction. There’s no scheduling, no external speaking partner required, and no waiting for instructor feedback. All guidance comes from the AI system, which evaluates sentence structure, response time, and engagement quality to provide immediate, adaptive next steps.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  145. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;By embedding &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;AI tutor technology&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt; into the core of the experience, Learna AI transforms English speaking practice from a passive task into an active, repeatable routine. This is particularly relevant for tech-savvy users who expect on-demand interaction and performance tracking from their digital tools.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  146. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Those interested in exploring this AI-driven approach can find more information directly through the&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://ailearna.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span&gt;Learna AI platform&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  147. &lt;h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;A Tech Product Built for Real-Life Language Use&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  148. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Learna AI is more than a language app, it’s a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;tech product designed for performance-focused language development&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;. With scalable infrastructure and a clean interface, it integrates easily into daily routines. The product is cross-device compatible and does not require synchronous participation, making it ideal for learners managing varied schedules or remote environments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  149. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;What distinguishes Learna AI within the broader edtech landscape is its narrow focus on &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;spoken English&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;. Rather than covering every aspect of language equally, it prioritizes real-time communication skills. Users don’t just review grammar—they engage with it actively in voice-based or text-prompted scenarios designed to replicate everyday situations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  150. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;This specialized functionality makes Learna AI especially valuable for users preparing for interviews, exchange programs, international internships, or global collaboration environments. As speaking skills become increasingly essential across academic and professional domains, solutions like Learna AI offer a targeted response, built with technology at its core.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  151. &lt;h2&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Discover Learna AI as a Speaking-Focused Tech Solution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
  152. &lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;As AI becomes further integrated into education and self-learning, tools like Learna AI demonstrate how targeted, intelligent systems can improve real-world communication. The platform provides a practical use case for how &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;AI tutors&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt; can bridge the gap between learning rules and speaking with fluency.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Whether you&#39;re running a cozy street-side café or a high-concept bistro, the way your menu is presented can shape how your food is perceived before it&#39;s ever tasted. And in a space where presentation, durability, and branding go hand-in-hand, choosing the right &lt;strong&gt;menu board&lt;/strong&gt; becomes a decision that deserves more than a passing thought.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  154. &lt;h2&gt;Why Menu Boards Matter in Restaurant Presentation&lt;/h2&gt;
  155. &lt;p&gt;There&#39;s something about holding a well-crafted &lt;strong&gt;menu board&lt;/strong&gt; that signals quality. It creates a sense of care and intention-something every diner picks up on, consciously or not. Your menu board reflects your identity: minimalist and clean, rustic and warm, or sleek and modern.&lt;/p&gt;
  156. &lt;p&gt;Beyond aesthetics, there&#39;s the practical side. A thoughtfully selected menu board offers more than beauty-it delivers on durability, grip, and ease of use. For staff, that means fewer replacements. For customers, it means a smoother experience. And for your brand, it becomes another silent ambassador of quality.&lt;/p&gt;
  157. &lt;h2&gt;Key Factors When Choosing a Menu Board&lt;/h2&gt;
  158. &lt;h3&gt;Interior Style Match&lt;/h3&gt;
  159. &lt;p&gt;Your board should look like it belongs. A reclaimed wood table calls for &lt;strong&gt;wooden menu boards&lt;/strong&gt;, maybe with dark metal corners for an industrial touch. A modern café with polished concrete floors might lean toward &lt;strong&gt;PU or fabric menu boards&lt;/strong&gt; with crisp lines.&lt;/p&gt;
  160. &lt;h3&gt;Service Format&lt;/h3&gt;
  161. &lt;p&gt;Fast-casual spots often need lightweight, &lt;strong&gt;handheld boards&lt;/strong&gt; that are easy to clean and update. Fine dining restaurants usually go for &lt;strong&gt;leather menu boards&lt;/strong&gt; in classic shades that blend into the ambiance with elegance.&lt;/p&gt;
  162. &lt;h3&gt;Menu Update Frequency&lt;/h3&gt;
  163. &lt;p&gt;If you change specials daily or weekly, opt for boards that allow quick swaps-clipboards or insertable formats are your friends. For more static menus, you can commit to engraved or foil-stamped options.&lt;/p&gt;
  164. &lt;h3&gt;Material Preferences&lt;/h3&gt;
  165. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Leather&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;wood&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;PU&lt;/strong&gt;, or &lt;strong&gt;fabric&lt;/strong&gt;-each material tells a different story. Leather adds sophistication and warmth. Wood offers authenticity. PU and fabric feel modern and lightweight. Consider how it feels in the hand, how it wears over time, and how it reflects your concept.&lt;/p&gt;
  166. &lt;h3&gt;Space Considerations&lt;/h3&gt;
  167. &lt;p&gt;Small counters or wall-mounted displays need a different approach than table service. Think about where the board will live most of the time-&lt;strong&gt;tabletop&lt;/strong&gt;, &lt;strong&gt;wall-mounted&lt;/strong&gt;, or &lt;strong&gt;handheld&lt;/strong&gt;-and choose the format that fits without overwhelming the space.&lt;/p&gt;
  168. &lt;h2&gt;Types of Menu Boards Explained&lt;/h2&gt;
  169. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wooden Boards&lt;/strong&gt; Ideal for rustic or industrial spaces. They come in styles with corner mountings, screw bindings, or even custom-burnt branding. They age well, too-scratches add character rather than flaws.&lt;/p&gt;
  170. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Leather Boards&lt;/strong&gt; Perfect for upscale settings. They come in vintage browns, deep blacks, and smooth minimalist textures. Real or faux, they convey timelessness and polish.&lt;/p&gt;
  171. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Fabric and PU Boards&lt;/strong&gt; Sleek and refined, these work well in contemporary or minimalist settings. They&#39;re lightweight and can be matched with bold branding or subtle embossing depending on your vibe.&lt;/p&gt;
  172. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Clipboards, Insertable &amp;amp; Magnetic Boards&lt;/strong&gt; Great for places that pivot often. Magnetic or insert formats are ideal when agility is key-think daily specials, price changes, or rotating menus.&lt;/p&gt;
  173. &lt;p&gt;To explore various styles tailored to different concepts, the curated range at &lt;a href=&quot;https://inkohoreca.com/collections/menu-boards&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;https://inkohoreca.com/collections/menu-boards&lt;/a&gt; is worth checking out. From &lt;strong&gt;custom menu boards&lt;/strong&gt; to readymade elegance, they&#39;ve covered the bases.&lt;/p&gt;
  174. &lt;h2&gt;Choosing the Right Finish and Branding Option&lt;/h2&gt;
  175. &lt;p&gt;Your board&#39;s finish is where tactile experience meets brand storytelling. Foil stamping adds metallic flash for modern elegance. Embossing or debossing gives a more textured and grounded feel. Full-color printing allows you to play with bold design choices-great for cafés with playful themes.&lt;/p&gt;
  176. &lt;p&gt;Whatever you choose, make sure it complements your brand identity. A polished board with gold foil on suede says &quot;premium.&quot; A sanded wooden board with laser engraving says &quot;authentic and earthy.&quot; The finish changes everything-even how your customers perceive the pricing.&lt;/p&gt;
  177. &lt;h2&gt;Common Mistakes to Avoid&lt;/h2&gt;
  178.  
  179.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Mismatch with Interior&lt;/strong&gt; A neon clipboard in a rustic café breaks the mood. Always sync the board style with the space it lives in.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Too Fragile or Overdesigned&lt;/strong&gt; Flimsy materials or complex binding systems won&#39;t last. If it&#39;s hard to handle or breaks often, it disrupts the experience.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Ignoring Ease of Updating&lt;/strong&gt; Even the best-looking board becomes a burden if staff can&#39;t change out pages quickly. Function matters just as much as form.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  180. &lt;/ul&gt;
  181. &lt;h2&gt;FAQs&lt;/h2&gt;
  182. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is the best menu board for a small café?&lt;/strong&gt; Wooden clipboards or slim PU boards work great. They&#39;re cost-effective, stylish, and easy to replace.&lt;/p&gt;
  183. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What materials last the longest?&lt;/strong&gt; Real leather and high-density wood are top-tier for durability. PU options offer solid longevity at a lower price point.&lt;/p&gt;
  184. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can I order custom-sized menu boards?&lt;/strong&gt; Yes, many providers offer fully &lt;strong&gt;custom menu boards&lt;/strong&gt;, tailored to your exact dimensions, color palette, and branding.&lt;/p&gt;
  185. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Are leather boards waterproof?&lt;/strong&gt; Genuine leather is not fully waterproof but can be treated for moisture resistance. Faux leather options often offer more water resistance.&lt;/p&gt;
  186. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do I keep menu boards clean?&lt;/strong&gt; Use a damp cloth for most materials. For fabric or PU, avoid abrasive cleaners. Leather should be conditioned periodically.&lt;/p&gt;
  187. &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Final Thought:&lt;/strong&gt; A menu board is more than a utility item-it&#39;s a storytelling piece. Whether you choose the grounded texture of wood or the refined edge of leather, make sure it&#39;s saying the right thing on behalf of your restaurant.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/7387048568506445667'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/7387048568506445667'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/how-to-choose-the-right-menu-board-for-your-restaurant-or-cafe.html' title='How to Choose the Right Menu Board for Your Restaurant or Café'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgApwkHQ9Db9WdkZ0nFvpC5J2GFilxdO7JF6TvgbqxDHxW1oojLCH2pLxr9RghLkDQBxRf3bwjpzek-OuBiGhG1O-jo1WbCj6Bs7bAqbOLOQ8ZgJNvliCBwg-o8hpp5EQ0WRPnjNnR8bFAJLtVBrYKYDGlQxF_IGV_EfjPk_pMpbSrPvergtwctP2kAiPLf/s72-c/12.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-2780818981829803476</id><published>2025-07-11T13:49:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-11T13:49:01.935-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Health"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Law and Order"/><title type='text'>Take Control of Your Health and Your Future with a PFAS Claim</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Take Control of Your Health and Your Future with a PFAS Claim&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;853&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUhACYf4pl3I0z18ga2RsIkgd8X2-WAQ-N5Tc4ztU4l0GGqVzCAlU5FlF4C6vOjAH4cyrFoCt9Mewea9Dkxa4aKkrJJIVYuJKMFFEB_nllIkdgSEAa9h0O2PwNf-vN3UnvjRbbvQh8ubsbiOsh1FCa_8Vke9PqOAE3K9LJbG73UTWrJHmS43_ToXButCgh/s16000/12.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Take Control of Your Health and Your Future with a PFAS Claim&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PFAS exposure is not something to ignore. If you&#39;ve had consistent contact with contaminated water, soil, or products, you could be at risk for serious health issues. And the worst part? You may not even know it yet.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  188. &lt;p&gt;The long-term effects of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) exposure are still being studied, but the links to certain cancers, immune problems, and reproductive issues are already well established. For many, the exposure wasn&#39;t a choice. It came through drinking water, cookware, or even the gear worn on the job.&lt;/p&gt;
  189. &lt;p&gt;Now, people are filing claims, not just for compensation, but for answers and accountability. &lt;/p&gt;
  190. &lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;What Are PFAS and Where Do They Come From?&lt;/h2&gt;
  191. &lt;p&gt;PFAS are synthetic chemicals developed in the 20th century for use in products that resist water, heat, and oil. They&#39;ve been used in things like firefighting foam, non-stick pans, water-repellent clothing, and food packaging.&lt;/p&gt;
  192. &lt;p&gt;The problem is, PFAS don&#39;t break down easily. Once they enter the environment, or your body, they tend to stay there. That&#39;s why they&#39;re often called &quot;forever chemicals.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
  193. &lt;p&gt;Because of how widely they&#39;ve been used, exposure is more common than most people realize. Water contamination is one of the biggest risks, especially near military bases, airports, and industrial facilities. If you&#39;re unsure whether this applies to you, &lt;a href=&quot;https://legalclaimassistant.com/personal-injury/pfas-lawsuit/pfas-lawsuit-settlement-amounts/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to learn more and see if you&#39;re eligible.&lt;/p&gt;
  194. &lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Health Risks Linked to PFAS Exposure&lt;/h2&gt;
  195. &lt;p&gt;Research has connected PFAS exposure to a wide range of serious health concerns. While studies are still ongoing, many of the current findings are alarming. If you&#39;ve been exposed, these are the risks to be aware of:&lt;/p&gt;
  196.  
  197.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Certain cancers&lt;/b&gt; - Links have been found between PFAS exposure and kidney, testicular, and prostate cancers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hormonal disruption&lt;/b&gt; - PFAS can interfere with hormone function, including thyroid and reproductive hormones.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Liver damage&lt;/b&gt; - Elevated liver enzymes and other signs of liver stress have been tied to PFAS.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Immune system effects&lt;/b&gt; - PFAS may weaken your body&#39;s ability to fight infections and reduce vaccine effectiveness.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;High cholesterol&lt;/b&gt; - Exposure has been associated with higher levels of LDL cholesterol.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pregnancy complications&lt;/b&gt; - Studies suggest increased risk of preeclampsia, low birth weight, and developmental delays in children.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  198. &lt;/ul&gt;
  199. &lt;p&gt;These risks aren&#39;t just limited to people working in industrial settings. Many individuals who live near contaminated water sources or use products with PFAS daily may also face health consequences.&lt;/p&gt;
  200. &lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Why Legal Action Is on the Rise&lt;/h2&gt;
  201. &lt;p&gt;More people are learning that their health conditions could be linked to years of exposure. Legal action offers a way to seek compensation for medical bills, lost income, and the emotional toll of chronic illness.&lt;/p&gt;
  202. &lt;p&gt;The goal isn&#39;t just about financial compensation. It&#39;s also about holding manufacturers and negligent parties accountable. If companies knew their products contained harmful chemicals and failed to warn the public or take action, they should face consequences.&lt;/p&gt;
  203. &lt;p&gt;In recent years, PFAS lawsuits have led to major settlements. These cases often center around contaminated drinking water, occupational exposure, or product use that led to long-term health damage.&lt;/p&gt;
  204. &lt;p&gt;You might qualify to file a claim if:&lt;/p&gt;
  205.  
  206.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;You&#39;ve been diagnosed with a related illness&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You lived or worked in an area known for PFAS contamination&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;You used products that may have contained PFAS consistently over time&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  207. &lt;/ul&gt;
  208. &lt;p&gt;Each case is unique. But what they all have in common is the right to seek answers and protection for future generations.&lt;/p&gt;
  209. &lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;PFAS Contamination Isn&#39;t Always Obvious&lt;/h2&gt;
  210. &lt;p&gt;The most frustrating part? You might have no idea you&#39;ve been exposed. Contamination doesn&#39;t come with a warning sign. You can&#39;t taste or smell PFAS in your water. You won&#39;t feel sick immediately after contact.&lt;/p&gt;
  211. &lt;p&gt;In many areas, water contamination went unchecked for years. People continued drinking, cooking, and bathing in toxic water because no one told them there was a problem.&lt;/p&gt;
  212. &lt;p&gt;Even once regulations were introduced, cleanup efforts have been slow. Some affected communities are still waiting for permanent solutions.&lt;/p&gt;
  213. &lt;p&gt;That&#39;s why it&#39;s important to look at your personal history. Think about where you&#39;ve lived, worked, and what kinds of products you&#39;ve used regularly. If something feels off, trust your instincts and explore your options.&lt;/p&gt;
  214. &lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Who&#39;s at Higher Risk?&lt;/h2&gt;
  215. &lt;p&gt;Some people are more vulnerable to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/what-is-pfas&quot;&gt;PFAS exposure&lt;/a&gt; and its effects than others. This isn&#39;t just about geography, either. Certain jobs and life situations increase your exposure levels significantly.&lt;/p&gt;
  216.  
  217.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Firefighters&lt;/b&gt; - Regular contact with PFAS-containing foams and gear.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Factory workers&lt;/b&gt; - Especially in chemical manufacturing or textile plants.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Military personnel&lt;/b&gt; - Many bases used firefighting foams with high PFAS levels.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Residents near industrial sites&lt;/b&gt; - Often exposed through local water supplies.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pregnant women and children&lt;/b&gt; - More sensitive to the effects on development and immunity.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  218. &lt;/ul&gt;
  219. &lt;p&gt;If you fall into one of these categories, pay close attention to your health and consider getting your blood tested for PFAS levels. Even if you feel fine now, long-term monitoring can make a difference.&lt;/p&gt;
  220. &lt;p&gt;What to Do If You Think You&#39;ve Been Exposed&lt;/p&gt;
  221. &lt;p&gt;Taking action can feel overwhelming, especially when health and legal systems seem complicated. But it doesn&#39;t have to be.&lt;/p&gt;
  222. &lt;p&gt;Start with a few practical steps:&lt;/p&gt;
  223.  
  224.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Gather your history&lt;/b&gt; - Where have you lived or worked? Were any of those areas known for PFAS issues?&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Check for symptoms&lt;/b&gt; - If you&#39;ve experienced illnesses tied to PFAS, take note of when they started and how they&#39;ve progressed.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Speak to a healthcare provider&lt;/b&gt; - Ask about blood tests or screenings that can detect PFAS-related effects.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Explore your legal options&lt;/b&gt; - You don&#39;t need to have all the answers. Just starting the conversation can point you in the right direction.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
  225. &lt;/ol&gt;
  226. &lt;p&gt;You shouldn&#39;t have to carry the weight of this alone. PFAS contamination is a systemic issue. Those affected deserve to be heard and supported.&lt;/p&gt;
  227. &lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;It&#39;s Time to Take Back Control&lt;/h2&gt;
  228. &lt;p&gt;PFAS exposure is real. It&#39;s widespread. And it affects far more than people realize. Whether you&#39;ve been directly exposed or you&#39;re just learning about the risks, it&#39;s worth investigating your situation.&lt;/p&gt;
  229. &lt;p&gt;You don&#39;t need to wait until symptoms get worse or until someone tells you to act. The responsibility may not be yours, but the decision to stand up for your health and your future is.&lt;/p&gt;
  230. &lt;p&gt;If you suspect your life has been impacted by PFAS, do not let it slide by. Look into your history. Talk to professionals. Ask the hard questions. And if you&#39;re eligible, filing a claim could be the step that starts to bring justice not just to you, but to your entire community.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/2780818981829803476'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/2780818981829803476'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/take-control-of-your-health-and-your-future-with-a-pfas-claim.html' title='Take Control of Your Health and Your Future with a PFAS Claim'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUhACYf4pl3I0z18ga2RsIkgd8X2-WAQ-N5Tc4ztU4l0GGqVzCAlU5FlF4C6vOjAH4cyrFoCt9Mewea9Dkxa4aKkrJJIVYuJKMFFEB_nllIkdgSEAa9h0O2PwNf-vN3UnvjRbbvQh8ubsbiOsh1FCa_8Vke9PqOAE3K9LJbG73UTWrJHmS43_ToXButCgh/s72-c/12.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-6812656619272928264</id><published>2025-07-11T04:10:00.010-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-11T13:23:29.621-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Business"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Business News"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Events"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="News"/><title type='text'>Free Slurpee Day Turns 7‑Eleven’s 98th Birthday Into a Marketing Hit </title><content type='html'>&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Free Slurpee Day Turns 7‑Eleven’s 98th Birthday Into a Marketing Hit&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;375&quot; data-original-width=&quot;666&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDMmvM7SnGBlacEpoRAGLq877_sZvMvF48hBJs58MTaH1XXXSQvcn-uYMvrW9TeRq3i-dlVaOsEyz4gu3xL5SEUNDow4Dr-0wrhbOZhv2BDyQfWL4LVZw1pK6ID115xG14HiLhsoNN2oR15W2SZLl6YTJguma9-5nedQtJ30MYe_IrxI7fsdLRYB-KHgF-/s16000/12.webp&quot; title=&quot;Free Slurpee Day Turns 7‑Eleven’s 98th Birthday Into a Marketing Hit&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today marks the 98th birthday of convenience-store giant 7‑Eleven, and the
  231.    company is making every frozen slurp count. Fans across the U.S. can claim a
  232.    free small Slurpee at participating 7‑Eleven, Speedway, or Stripes locations; no purchase or coupon is needed while supplies last.
  233.  
  234. &lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  235. &lt;p&gt;
  236.  But this isn’t just business as usual. To enhance the experience, the brand is
  237.  rolling out “Tongue‑toos”: tongue tattoos activated by Slurpee liquid,
  238.  revealing the iconic “S” in hues of blue, green, red, or purple. According to &lt;a href=&quot;https://franchise.7-eleven.com/franchise-press-releases/slurpee-day-just-got-cooler-7-eleven-inc-celebrates-with-a-tongue-too-takeover?utm_source=chatgpt.com&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;7-Eleven&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, these are
  239.  available exclusively to 7Rewards and Speedy Rewards members at select
  240.  outlets.
  241. &lt;/p&gt;
  242. &lt;p&gt;
  243.  The campaign also revives the fan‑favorite Mountain Dew Infinite Swirl flavor,
  244.  this time in both Big Gulp and Slurpee formats, the first time it’s appeared
  245.  in that large size.
  246. &lt;/p&gt;
  247. &lt;p&gt;
  248.  Loyalty members enjoy even more perks. Scanning the 7‑Eleven or Speedway app
  249.  today generates a digital coupon for a second free small Slurpee, redeemable
  250.  through July 31.
  251. &lt;/p&gt;
  252. &lt;blockquote&gt;
  253.  &lt;p&gt;
  254.    There’s also a $7.11 discount on $20+ orders via the 7NOW app using
  255.    code “711DAY”.
  256.  &lt;/p&gt;
  257. &lt;/blockquote&gt;
  258. &lt;p&gt;
  259.  Beyond drinks, fans can shop branded Slurpee gear from the 7Collection online
  260.  store—including a full-body Slurpee costume.
  261. &lt;/p&gt;
  262. &lt;p&gt;
  263.  Through year-end, loyalty users get daily chances to win $5,000 via in-app
  264.  games tied to Slurpee, Big Gulp, hot dogs, or fueling up.
  265. &lt;/p&gt;
  266. &lt;p&gt;
  267.  Industry insiders see this campaign as more than a nostalgic giveaway. Seeking
  268.  to strengthen loyalty and capture data, 7‑Eleven is integrating digital
  269.  rewards and physical experiences at scale. Reintroducing a beloved flavor in
  270.  larger sizes and incentivizing repeat visits via app‑only rewards is strategic
  271.  and effective in an age where convenience retailers need to surprise to stay
  272.  relevant.
  273. &lt;/p&gt;
  274. &lt;p&gt;
  275.  Face-to-face, Tongue-toos offers a novel tactile experience that bridges
  276.  physical engagement with social media shareability. For an industry often
  277.  driven by thin margins, creating memorable customer moments that also feed
  278.  digital analytics feels smart and cost‑efficient.
  279. &lt;/p&gt;
  280. &lt;p&gt;
  281.  This activation aligns with broader retail trends—micro‑experiences serving
  282.  both branding and data objectives. As competitors ramp up app functionality,
  283.  7‑Eleven’s layered Slurpee Day strategy demonstrates how to monetize a fun
  284.  tradition while gathering loyalty data, strengthening the brand, and offering
  285.  genuine delight.
  286. &lt;/p&gt;
  287. &lt;p&gt;
  288.  With nearly a century under its belt, 7‑Eleven remains relevant by leaning
  289.  into culture, tech, and consumer desire for experiences. 7/11 Day 2025 isn’t
  290.  just about a free icy treat; it’s about celebrating customer connections and
  291.  evolving their digital ecosystem with a clear eye on tomorrow.
  292. &lt;/p&gt;

This SimplyDepo Delivers&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In today&#39;s fiercely competitive retail landscape, visibility isn&#39;t a luxury - it&#39;s a necessity. Distributors and brands need to ensure that their products aren&#39;t just stocked but presented, priced, and promoted correctly in every store. That&#39;s where &lt;a href=&quot;https://simplydepo.com/retail-execution-software/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;SimplyDepo&#39;s retail execution monitoring software&lt;/a&gt; steps in - bringing clarity, consistency, and control to every shelf, every location, every day.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  294. &lt;h2&gt;The Retail Blind Spot Problem&lt;/h2&gt;
  295. &lt;p&gt;Even the most strategically placed products can underperform if they&#39;re not executed correctly at the store level. Common issues like misplaced items, outdated promotions, stockouts, or inconsistent pricing can derail an entire retail strategy. The gap between headquarters and field execution costs businesses millions annually, and it often happens without immediate notice.&lt;/p&gt;
  296. &lt;p&gt;Traditional methods like manual reporting, delayed feedback loops, or scattered spreadsheets make it almost impossible to act in real time. Brands are left guessing what&#39;s happening on the ground.&lt;/p&gt;
  297. &lt;h2&gt;The SimplyDepo Solution&lt;/h2&gt;
  298. &lt;p&gt;SimplyDepo bridges this gap with an all-in-one retail execution monitoring software that puts real-time data and actionable insights into the hands of field reps and HQ teams alike. With this platform, distributors and CPG brands can:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;
  299. Track planogram compliance across retail partners&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Monitor stock levels and restocking needs&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Capture in-store photos and real-time reports&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Flag pricing and promotional issues immediately&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Assign and track retail tasks for field reps&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
  300.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  301. &lt;/ul&gt;
  302. &lt;p&gt;All of this comes together in a user-friendly dashboard, accessible on both mobile and desktop, enabling complete transparency and faster decision-making.&lt;/p&gt;
  303. &lt;h2&gt;Real-Time Retail Intelligence&lt;/h2&gt;
  304. &lt;p&gt;SimplyDepo transforms retail execution from reactive to proactive. With every store visit, field reps can use the mobile app to complete tailored checklists, upload shelf photos, verify pricing, and capture competitor intelligence. The data is instantly available for HQ managers, who can act quickly to correct execution errors or seize new opportunities.&lt;/p&gt;
  305. &lt;p&gt;This agility isn&#39;t just convenient - it&#39;s game-changing. Distributors can prevent lost sales, optimize stock rotations, and drive sell-through with far more precision.&lt;/p&gt;
  306. &lt;h2&gt;Designed for Distributors&lt;/h2&gt;
  307. &lt;p&gt;What makes SimplyDepo stand out is its deep understanding of distributor workflows. Built with wholesale and CPG distributors in mind, the software doesn&#39;t just monitor - it enables. Teams can build smart sales routes, schedule visits, and create retail task assignments in the same platform used for reporting.&lt;/p&gt;
  308. &lt;p&gt;Managers benefit from consolidated views of performance across all markets, while field reps have a streamlined tool to get their job done better and faster. It&#39;s retail monitoring that&#39;s actually built for the way your team works.&lt;/p&gt;
  309. &lt;h2&gt;Simplify Compliance, Amplify Results&lt;/h2&gt;
  310. &lt;p&gt;One of the most frustrating challenges for distributors is ensuring retail compliance across a growing number of stores and regions. Without the right tools, store checks are inconsistent, tasks go unverified, and brand standards get diluted.&lt;/p&gt;
  311. &lt;p&gt;SimplyDepo&#39;s retail execution monitoring software solves this by creating automated workflows and visual audits. Every task can be tracked, completed, and reviewed in real-time. This ensures that marketing campaigns, merchandising plans, and product placements are executed the way they were intended - no guesswork required.&lt;/p&gt;
  312. &lt;h2&gt;Use Case: Fast Response to a Promotion Error&lt;/h2&gt;
  313. &lt;p&gt;A leading beverage distributor using SimplyDepo recently identified a pricing error during a weekend promotion - the price tags displayed in-store were incorrect, undercutting profitability. Thanks to the app&#39;s real-time reporting features, the field rep was able to flag the error, upload a photo, and notify HQ instantly. Within hours, the distributor issued new materials and corrected the problem across all affected stores - saving the campaign and preserving margins.&lt;/p&gt;
  314. &lt;h2&gt;Data That Powers Strategy&lt;/h2&gt;
  315. &lt;p&gt;The software doesn&#39;t just offer oversight - it fuels insights. From planogram compliance rates to average time between visits, SimplyDepo provides a rich set of data that distributors can use to:&lt;/p&gt;
  316.  
  317.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Improve store visit strategies&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Plan smarter promotions&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Identify training gaps&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Adjust merchandising for local performance&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  318. &lt;/ul&gt;
  319. &lt;p&gt;And because it&#39;s all stored and accessible in one place, brands and distributors can build a strategic playbook for continuous improvement.&lt;/p&gt;
  320. &lt;h2&gt;Scalable Across Markets&lt;/h2&gt;
  321. &lt;p&gt;Whether you&#39;re managing five stores or five thousand, SimplyDepo scales to meet your needs. The cloud-based system allows easy onboarding of new users, regions, and categories, making it ideal for distributors looking to expand without sacrificing control.&lt;/p&gt;
  322. &lt;p&gt;With multilingual support, customizable templates, and integrations with your existing systems, you can roll out SimplyDepo in weeks, not months.&lt;/p&gt;
  323. &lt;h2&gt;A Retail Execution Revolution&lt;/h2&gt;

The network wants you on-air tomorrow. Your agent secured a prime-time interview slot with just 48 hours&#39; notice. For broadcasting professionals, these last-minute opportunities can make or break careers-but they also create unique challenges for appearance preparation.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  328. &lt;p&gt;Quick fixes for television appearances require strategic thinking and access to professional solutions that deliver immediate results. Whether you&#39;re dealing with dental concerns, skin issues, or overall presentation worries, understanding your rapid-response options can help you seize opportunities with confidence rather than anxiety.&lt;/p&gt;
  329. &lt;h2&gt;The Reality of Broadcast Timing&lt;/h2&gt;
  330. &lt;p&gt;Television doesn&#39;t wait for perfect timing. Breaking news, schedule changes, and unexpected opportunities create situations where you need to look your absolute best with minimal preparation time. The high-definition reality of modern broadcasting means every detail matters, and viewers notice imperfections that might be invisible in person.&lt;/p&gt;
  331. &lt;p&gt;Professional broadcasters understand that confidence translates directly through the camera lens. When you feel uncertain about your appearance, that hesitation affects your entire performance. Your voice might lose its natural authority, your facial expressions become restricted, and your overall on-air presence suffers.&lt;/p&gt;
  332. &lt;p&gt;The psychological pressure intensifies when you know millions of viewers will scrutinize your appearance. Unlike radio or print media, television creates an intimate connection between broadcaster and audience, making visual presentation a crucial component of professional success.&lt;/p&gt;
  333. &lt;h2&gt;Immediate Dental Solutions for Broadcasting&lt;/h2&gt;
  334. &lt;p&gt;Dental concerns represent one of the most common last-minute appearance challenges for broadcast professionals. Chipped teeth, discoloration, or gaps can undermine confidence and distract from your message. Fortunately, modern dental technology offers several rapid solutions.&lt;/p&gt;
  335. &lt;p&gt;Professional teeth whitening provides dramatic results in a single appointment, often brightening teeth by several shades within hours. This treatment addresses coffee stains, wine discoloration, and natural yellowing that appears magnified under studio lighting. Many dental offices offer same-day whitening specifically for professionals who need immediate results.&lt;/p&gt;
  336. &lt;p&gt;Dental bonding can address chips, small gaps, and minor imperfections in a single visit. This procedure uses tooth-colored materials to reshape and restore teeth, creating a more uniform appearance that photographs beautifully. The entire process typically takes less than two hours per tooth.&lt;/p&gt;
  337. &lt;p&gt;For more significant concerns, some practices specialize in emergency cosmetic procedures. Experienced cosmetic dentists understand the unique needs of broadcasting professionals and can often accommodate urgent timeline requirements. When &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.google.com/url?q%3Dhttps://www.wowinsmile.com/%26amp;sa%3DD%26amp;source%3Deditors%26amp;ust%3D1752221002373337%26amp;usg%3DAOvVaw3TUGxETaEGnmwJTF0WxUDn&amp;amp;sa=D&amp;amp;source=docs&amp;amp;ust=1752221002395118&amp;amp;usg=AOvVaw3J5Y69o33QI72vIJCzTW38&quot;&gt;seeking dental veneers in Pittsburgh&lt;/a&gt; or other major media markets, many practitioners offer expedited services for industry professionals.&lt;/p&gt;
  338. &lt;h2&gt;Skin and Makeup Quick Fixes&lt;/h2&gt;
  339. &lt;p&gt;Television lighting and high-definition cameras expose skin imperfections that might be invisible in normal settings. Last-minute skin concerns require strategic solutions that work within tight timeframes.&lt;/p&gt;
  340. &lt;p&gt;Professional makeup artists who specialize in broadcast work understand how to create flawless appearances under studio conditions. They use specialized products and techniques that withstand hot lights and long broadcast sessions while looking natural on camera.&lt;/p&gt;
  341. &lt;p&gt;For skin emergencies, some dermatologists offer same-day appointments for urgent concerns. Treatments like professional facials, minor blemish removal, or quick cosmetic procedures can address issues that might otherwise require days of healing.&lt;/p&gt;
  342. &lt;p&gt;Emergency skincare routines can also provide significant improvements. Professional-grade masks, targeted treatments, and proper hydration can minimize puffiness, reduce redness, and create a more polished appearance within hours.&lt;/p&gt;
  343. &lt;h2&gt;Wardrobe and Styling Solutions&lt;/h2&gt;
  344. &lt;p&gt;Your clothing choices significantly impact your on-air presence, and last-minute appearances often leave little time for wardrobe planning. Professional stylists who work with broadcast talent understand which colors, patterns, and styles work best for television.&lt;/p&gt;
  345. &lt;p&gt;Solid colors generally work better than patterns for television appearances. Certain colors can wash out under studio lighting, while others create unwanted visual effects. Navy, charcoal, and deep jewel tones typically photograph well and convey authority.&lt;/p&gt;
  346. &lt;p&gt;Fit becomes crucial under television&#39;s scrutiny. Clothing that fits properly in person might appear loose or tight on camera. Professional tailors in major media markets often offer emergency alterations for broadcast professionals who need perfect fits on short notice.&lt;/p&gt;
  347. &lt;p&gt;Accessories require special consideration for television. Jewelry can create unwanted reflections or sounds, while certain materials might interfere with microphone equipment. Understanding these technical requirements helps you make quick, appropriate choices.&lt;/p&gt;
  348. &lt;h2&gt;Hair and Grooming Rapid Response&lt;/h2&gt;
  349. &lt;p&gt;Hair can make or break a television appearance, and last-minute styling challenges require professional solutions. Many salons in major media markets offer emergency appointments for broadcast professionals who need immediate results.&lt;/p&gt;
  350. &lt;p&gt;Professional hair stylists who work with television talent understand how different styles and colors appear on camera. They can create looks that withstand studio lighting and maintain their appearance throughout long broadcast sessions.&lt;/p&gt;
  351. &lt;p&gt;For men, professional grooming services can address facial hair concerns, skin issues, and overall appearance polish within hours. These services often include consultation on camera-appropriate styling and maintenance tips for future appearances.&lt;/p&gt;
  352. &lt;p&gt;Emergency hair solutions might include professional blowouts, quick color touch-ups, or strategic cuts that address specific concerns. The key is working with professionals who understand broadcast requirements and can deliver results that look natural on camera.&lt;/p&gt;
  353. &lt;h2&gt;Working with Broadcast-Experienced Professionals&lt;/h2&gt;
  354. &lt;p&gt;Not all beauty and grooming professionals understand the unique demands of television appearances. The lighting, camera angles, and technical requirements of broadcasting create specific challenges that require specialized knowledge.&lt;/p&gt;
  355. &lt;p&gt;Look for professionals who have experience working with on-air talent and understand the importance of natural-looking results that perform well under studio conditions. They should be familiar with how different treatments and styles appear on camera and can provide guidance on maintenance between appearances.&lt;/p&gt;
  356. &lt;p&gt;Be specific about your timeline and appearance requirements during consultations. Discuss any concerns about temporary sensitivity, appearance during healing periods, or maintenance requirements. Many professionals can tailor their services to minimize disruption while maximizing results.&lt;/p&gt;
  357. &lt;p&gt;Consider establishing relationships with broadcast-experienced professionals before you need emergency services. Having trusted contacts who understand your needs and can accommodate urgent requests provides peace of mind and better results when opportunities arise.&lt;/p&gt;
  358. &lt;h2&gt;Maximizing Your Confidence Investment&lt;/h2&gt;
  359. &lt;p&gt;While quick fixes can provide significant appearance improvements, they work best when integrated with solid preparation and professional skills. Use your enhanced appearance as a foundation for delivering your best possible performance.&lt;/p&gt;
  360. &lt;p&gt;Practice your delivery with any new appearance changes to become comfortable with different sensations or visual effects. Record yourself to see how the changes affect your overall broadcast style and adjust accordingly.&lt;/p&gt;
  361. &lt;p&gt;Consider working with a broadcast coach who can help you maximize the confidence benefits of your appearance improvements. They can provide feedback on how to best utilize your enhanced presence for maximum viewer impact.&lt;/p&gt;
  362. &lt;h2&gt;Your Television-Ready Future&lt;/h2&gt;
  363. &lt;p&gt;Last-minute television opportunities will continue arising throughout your broadcasting career. Having a clear action plan for rapid appearance improvements ensures you can seize these chances with confidence rather than anxiety.&lt;/p&gt;
  364. &lt;p&gt;Research your options in advance, establish relationships with broadcast-experienced professionals, and understand what services are available for emergency situations. This preparation allows you to focus on your performance rather than worrying about your appearance when opportunities arise.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/7951203634525331790'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/7951203634525331790'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/last-minute-fixes-for-tv-ready-appearances.html' title='Last-Minute Fixes for TV-Ready Appearances'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiryJm6BhGGT_IG2qAUi7EZqxmhGkr-8WcB-9-aT5nVIEcGo_KxD1vV673EYjlRdb-apE0D2_YR7CgJ4NAr8z8KEyh48vL58tMRanSDyMmMbSAvE5B_4NEvOEcgUqBZtxUaV-a73ejLmhT-L6dih9KGNEG38OCjL-G57G9AlQ6uoraFSclubqyCIenXkEts/s72-c/IMG_7400.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-8162853584439610591</id><published>2025-07-11T02:44:00.020-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-11T03:01:14.747-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Dental Care"/><title type='text'>Why Your Jawbone Is Shrinking—and What You Can Do About It</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Why Your Jawbone Is Shrinking—and What You Can Do About It&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;853&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OfM2QbM8PYRX20uBWBpzUpMdvW6QAmiI3dLIN4INsuN9zgqrR3fBhwMepXlzynlpKNxPf2PiL5qpf2acjO3sGqLacAtT85K9ZMmS1vam4rCDfgLp_xt0atcz4Q07EMSq9UBfXqbn43CPpIp6GqK1JqI34RlcPsTWOom4UcGmqrF6AxUMRNtHDpUZCTUd/s16000/IMG_7399.jpeg&quot; title=&quot;Why Your Jawbone Is Shrinking—and What You Can Do About It&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your jawbone plays a vital role in maintaining the structure of your face, supporting your teeth, and aiding in everyday activities like speaking and chewing. But what happens when this crucial bone begins to shrink? Jawbone shrinkage-also known as bone resorption-is a common yet often overlooked issue that can have significant effects on both your appearance and oral health. Let&#39;s take a closer look at why jawbone loss happens and what you can do to prevent or treat it.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  365. &lt;h2&gt;What Causes Jawbone Shrinkage?&lt;/h2&gt;
  366. &lt;p&gt;Jawbone shrinkage typically occurs when the bone is no longer stimulated. Like muscles, bones require regular use to maintain strength and density. Several common factors can lead to a lack of stimulation in the jawbone:&lt;/p&gt;
  367. &lt;h3&gt;1. Tooth Loss&lt;/h3&gt;
  368. &lt;p&gt;One of the leading causes of jawbone shrinkage is missing teeth. When a tooth is lost, the root that once stimulated the surrounding bone is no longer there. Over time, this lack of stimulation causes the jawbone in that area to deteriorate. The longer a tooth is missing, the more bone loss can occur.&lt;/p&gt;
  369. &lt;h3&gt;2. Gum Disease (Periodontitis)&lt;/h3&gt;
  370. &lt;p&gt;Advanced gum disease can lead to the destruction of the tissues and bone that support your teeth. As bacteria spread below the gumline, they can erode bone structure, eventually leading to tooth loss and further jawbone resorption.&lt;/p&gt;
  371. &lt;h3&gt;3. Dentures and Bridges&lt;/h3&gt;
  372. &lt;p&gt;Traditional dentures and some bridges rest on the gums without stimulating the underlying bone. Without that pressure and stimulation, the bone may slowly shrink, leading to a change in facial appearance and denture fit over time.&lt;/p&gt;
  373. &lt;h3&gt;4. Trauma or Injury&lt;/h3&gt;
  374. &lt;p&gt;A blow to the jaw or severe injury that results in tooth loss or damage can lead to bone deterioration if the area is not properly treated or restored.&lt;/p&gt;
  375. &lt;h3&gt;5. Aging&lt;/h3&gt;
  376. &lt;p&gt;As we age, our bones naturally lose density. The jawbone is no exception. This process can accelerate if there are other contributing factors like poor dental hygiene or nutritional deficiencies.&lt;/p&gt;
  377. &lt;h2&gt;Signs of Jawbone Shrinkage&lt;/h2&gt;
  378. &lt;p&gt;Jawbone loss can be gradual, making it difficult to detect early. However, certain symptoms may indicate a problem:&lt;/p&gt;
  379.  
  380.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Loose or shifting teeth&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Receding gums&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Changes in facial appearance (sunken cheeks or chin)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Discomfort with dentures&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Bite misalignment&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Difficulty chewing or speaking clearly&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  381. &lt;/ul&gt;
  382. &lt;p&gt;If you experience any of these symptoms, it&#39;s essential to seek dental advice as soon as possible.&lt;/p&gt;
  383. &lt;h2&gt;How Jawbone Shrinkage Affects You&lt;/h2&gt;
  384. &lt;p&gt;Jawbone loss affects more than just your mouth. As the bone diminishes, it can lead to a sunken facial appearance, often associated with premature aging. It can also make it difficult to wear dentures, impact speech, and reduce self-confidence. From a functional standpoint, bone loss can alter your bite and cause discomfort while chewing or talking.&lt;/p&gt;
  385. &lt;h2&gt;Preventing Jawbone Shrinkage&lt;/h2&gt;
  386. &lt;p&gt;The good news is that jawbone shrinkage can often be prevented or slowed down with proper care. Here&#39;s how:&lt;/p&gt;
  387. &lt;h3&gt;1. Replace Missing Teeth Promptly&lt;/h3&gt;
  388. &lt;p&gt;If you&#39;ve lost a tooth, timely replacement is essential to protect your oral health. &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.briggsfamilydental.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Teeth implants in New Market, VA&lt;/a&gt; offer an advanced solution that closely replicates the function of natural tooth roots. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants fuse directly with the jawbone, providing crucial stimulation that helps preserve bone density and prevent jawbone shrinkage.&lt;/p&gt;
  389. &lt;h3&gt;2. Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene&lt;/h3&gt;
  390. &lt;p&gt;Regular brushing, flossing, and dental cleanings are key to preventing gum disease-a major cause of jawbone loss. Catching gum disease early can help prevent it from progressing to the point of bone damage.&lt;/p&gt;
  391. &lt;h3&gt;3. Eat a Nutrient-Rich Diet&lt;/h3&gt;
  392. &lt;p&gt;A balanced diet rich in calcium, vitamin D, and protein helps support bone health. Leafy greens, dairy products, fish, and fortified cereals are great options to include in your meals.&lt;/p&gt;
  393. &lt;h3&gt;4. Regular Dental Checkups&lt;/h3&gt;
  394. &lt;p&gt;Routine dental visits allow your dentist to monitor the health of your gums and bones. Early detection of problems can help you avoid more severe complications.&lt;/p&gt;
  395. &lt;h2&gt;Treatment Options for Jawbone Shrinkage&lt;/h2&gt;
  396. &lt;p&gt;Even if you&#39;ve already experienced bone loss, there are treatment options available:&lt;/p&gt;
  397.  
  398.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Bone Grafting&lt;/b&gt;: This surgical procedure adds bone material to areas where it&#39;s been lost, creating a stable foundation for implants or other restorations.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Dental Implants&lt;/b&gt;: After bone grafting or if there&#39;s enough bone present, implants can be placed to restore function and prevent further loss.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Guided Tissue Regeneration&lt;/b&gt;: This technique encourages the growth of new bone and tissue in areas affected by periodontal disease.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  399. &lt;/ul&gt;
  400. &lt;h2&gt;In Conclusion&lt;/h2&gt;
  401. &lt;p&gt;Jawbone shrinkage is a serious condition that can affect your appearance, oral health, and overall quality of life. Whether it&#39;s caused by tooth loss, gum disease, or aging, taking proactive steps is essential. By replacing missing teeth promptly, maintaining excellent oral hygiene, and working closely with your dentist, you can preserve your jawbone and your smile for years to come.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/8162853584439610591'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/8162853584439610591'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/why-your-jawbone-is-shrinking-and-what-you-can-do-about-it.html' title='Why Your Jawbone Is Shrinking—and What You Can Do About It'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2OfM2QbM8PYRX20uBWBpzUpMdvW6QAmiI3dLIN4INsuN9zgqrR3fBhwMepXlzynlpKNxPf2PiL5qpf2acjO3sGqLacAtT85K9ZMmS1vam4rCDfgLp_xt0atcz4Q07EMSq9UBfXqbn43CPpIp6GqK1JqI34RlcPsTWOom4UcGmqrF6AxUMRNtHDpUZCTUd/s72-c/IMG_7399.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-2531041821035850217</id><published>2025-07-10T14:40:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-11T14:41:07.405-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Funding"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Press Release"/><title type='text'>LGND AI Raises $9M to Turn Earth Data Into AI-Friendly Intelligence</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;LGND AI Raises $9M to Turn Earth Data Into AI-Friendly Intelligence&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1248&quot; data-original-width=&quot;2218&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDWYGiqzRzU_u3991HXY4MvvAtQSG7hgT0kdc0kQg2ik4jhGwNze_mXnx4iQz_hB_kp08dEKla6IQV-VFiv-uOXoGKBRctU7f25CQPkSkyjtXMDv44krlhZp58yvXyooodsVXBk9-85-SrTWfZ8JwQcjsPxvG76EkoopmkZmRragYmRtTmpoeoKq2Tt6vO/s16000/12.jpg&quot; title=&quot;LGND AI Raises $9M to Turn Earth Data Into AI-Friendly Intelligence&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;LGND AI just secured $9 million to change how Earth data is used in AI systems. The funding round was led by Javelin Venture Partners and backed by a slate of tech insiders, including Space Capital, Clocktower Ventures, and prominent angel investors like John Hanke, the creator of Keyhole, the tech behind Google Maps.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The company’s mission? Make Earth data easier for both people and machines to use. That includes satellite imagery, spatial datasets, and geographic analysis, which are typically locked behind high costs or complicated workflows. LGND’s tech strips away that friction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Our mission is to make Earth data universally accessible and actionable through AI,” said Nathaniel Manning, CEO and cofounder of LGND. “We’re making Earth understandable to people—and to AI.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;LGND isn’t trying to make better maps, it’s redefining what a map even is. The platform builds on what they call “geographic embeddings,” which essentially create dynamic, AI-ready representations of the planet. These can be queried, trained on, and deployed instantly. It&#39;s a sharp contrast to the current map tech that’s still stuck on static tiles and pixel-by-pixel analysis.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Co-founder Dan Hammer likened the shift to a foundational change in how geospatial data is handled. “We believe geographic embeddings are the new first-order data object for geospatial information, much like map tiles were two decades ago,” he said, pointing to LGND’s infrastructure as the layer that makes it all possible.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The company already has pilot projects underway, think wildfire risk models for insurers, detecting illegal mining, and plugging Earth data straight into AI agents. It’s not just for scientists either. LGND is rolling out no-code tools and APIs so teams across industries can integrate Earth data into their workflows without needing to write a single line of code.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As part of the expansion, Javelin’s Noah Doyle, a veteran in geospatial infrastructure and ex-Google Earth product lead, will join the LGND board.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This funding and product rollout come at a time when integrating real-time, spatial intelligence into AI is increasingly necessary for logistics, climate adaptation, and even finance. A relevant data point in this space: Earth observation startup funding rose 46% year-over-year in 2024, a clear sign that demand is building fast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;By making complex Earth systems usable and searchable, LGND is laying the groundwork for a new kind of intelligence layer—one that sees the world, quite literally, in smarter ways.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/2531041821035850217'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/2531041821035850217'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/lgnd-ai-raises-9m-to-turn-earth-data-into-ai-friendly-intelligence.html' title='LGND AI Raises $9M to Turn Earth Data Into AI-Friendly Intelligence'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDWYGiqzRzU_u3991HXY4MvvAtQSG7hgT0kdc0kQg2ik4jhGwNze_mXnx4iQz_hB_kp08dEKla6IQV-VFiv-uOXoGKBRctU7f25CQPkSkyjtXMDv44krlhZp58yvXyooodsVXBk9-85-SrTWfZ8JwQcjsPxvG76EkoopmkZmRragYmRtTmpoeoKq2Tt6vO/s72-c/12.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-4541070254721677814</id><published>2025-07-09T14:29:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-09T14:29:01.633-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Games"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Gaming"/><title type='text'>NBA 2K26 locks in September 5, 2025 launch, spotlighting powerhouse cover lineup!</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;NBA 2K26 locks in September 5, 2025 launch, spotlighting powerhouse cover lineup!&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;342&quot; data-original-width=&quot;696&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmKiRTCtK52FZoVQBZN1h-MY-m3KdiR34ZzR9aGcY5I_POmS5rV3tkYnO3BLhVZ6h2Y76HuWgcp_bcnKTAqhjASx1surdNdaMQDWqPdqy6GXmxclRjVDmCcKEXDfRIqu6ktECng_sxk7hV8dthLz2om51lFMe_e1KqbLIMpvXwNhdToMq2bnFpqSBQLRQB/s16000/12.webp&quot; title=&quot;NBA 2K26 locks in September 5, 2025 launch, spotlighting powerhouse cover lineup!&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Insider sources including 2K’s own &lt;a href=&quot;https://nba.2k.com/2k26/faq/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;FAQs&lt;/a&gt; confirm NBA 2K26 will hit digital and physical shelves worldwide on September 5, 2025.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pre‑orders begin July 9, 2025, with early access kicking off August 29 for those opting into the Superstar or Leave No Doubt editions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The standard edition cover features Shai Gilgeous‑Alexander, fresh off MVP and Finals MVP honors after leading Oklahoma City to a 68‑14 regular‑season record and securing the franchise’s first title.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;WNBA standout Angel Reese graces the WNBA Edition, marking a milestone for representation, while Hall‑of‑Famer Carmelo Anthony adorns the Superstar Edition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A premium “Leave No Doubt” version bundles all three athletes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pricing details reflect recent franchise norms: $69.99 on current‑gen platforms (PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC, Switch 2), $59.99 on original Switch; Superstar is $99.99, Leave No Doubt at $149.99.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Why this matters to the sector&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Early access is a major play to boost pre‑order conversions and lock players into microtransaction economies sooner. Featuring a WNBA athlete reflects growing recognition of women’s basketball, not just tokenism, but a strategic brand move. Meanwhile, skipping last‑gen platforms undercuts maintenance costs and forces adoption of current‑gen systems.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Community reaction&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reddit&#39;s r/NBA2k confirms the date via Take‑Two&#39;s financial schedule:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“NBA 2K26 release date is on September 5, 2025.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The comments are mixed, with some people being skeptical, some resisting the price hikes, and others expressing concern about the depth of the WNBA roster. That feedback could shape the final polish and post‑release support.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Final assessment&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/04/nba-2k25-locker-codes.html&quot;&gt;2K&lt;/a&gt; appears confident: aligning the launch with SGA’s peak and showcasing a diverse cover lineup signals both high expectations and a deeper cultural strategy. Gamers should expect polished visuals, enhanced ProPLAY mechanics, a refreshed MyCAREER arc, and the usual MyTEAM/MyNBA features. The pivotal question going forward will be sustaining engagement beyond launch with meaningful updates.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/4541070254721677814'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/4541070254721677814'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/nba-2k26-locks-in-september-5-2025-launch-spotlighting-powerhouse-cover-lineup.html' title='NBA 2K26 locks in September 5, 2025 launch, spotlighting powerhouse cover lineup!'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmKiRTCtK52FZoVQBZN1h-MY-m3KdiR34ZzR9aGcY5I_POmS5rV3tkYnO3BLhVZ6h2Y76HuWgcp_bcnKTAqhjASx1surdNdaMQDWqPdqy6GXmxclRjVDmCcKEXDfRIqu6ktECng_sxk7hV8dthLz2om51lFMe_e1KqbLIMpvXwNhdToMq2bnFpqSBQLRQB/s72-c/12.webp" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-3728179549361425755</id><published>2025-07-09T13:55:00.009-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-09T15:21:54.465-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Layoffs"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Politics"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="USA"/><title type='text'>Supreme Court Enables Trump Administration’s Mass Layoffs Amid Ongoing Legal Battle</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Supreme Court Enables Trump Administration’s Mass Layoffs Amid Ongoing Legal Battle&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;948&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4FtOvUJU-KUvh9GEEi3P8O7Z_MV0TGu-PSRJnZeev7AsnHjGQpZULtk5rYosbnl94vi0EzqVgxQsowyBH6k6Vt7XdqXKGltLrCqQ1QPTOajLdLTcRDokTcNkdmX2jWVD1ei_0DboPN7p-MJo6fGZr3nE6CyKibzYQk3E_hgQmayKbT2cDf52UxtBUFQ-X/s16000/12.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Supreme Court Enables Trump Administration’s Mass Layoffs Amid Ongoing Legal Battle&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The U.S. Supreme Court has temporarily lifted a federal judge’s injunction that halted President Trump’s plans to cut thousands of federal jobs across 19 agencies. Its unsigned order doesn’t settle whether the administration has legal authority, but signals that the executive may proceed while lower courts review the case.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Liberal Justices Elena Kagan and Sonia Sotomayor supported the stay, with Sotomayor stating that the administration committed to operating “consistent with applicable law” and that the court was not evaluating the layoffs themselves.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In stark contrast, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, warning that the decision “allow[s] an apparently unprecedented and congressionally unsanctioned dismantling of the Federal Government to continue apace, causing irreparable harm”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This development follows Trump’s February executive order that directed agencies to design “large-scale reductions in force.” The lower court, led by Judge Susan Illston, had blocked the order, citing the lack of congressional approval.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But today’s Supreme Court &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-supreme-court-lifts-order-that-blocked-trumps-mass-federal-layoffs-2025-07-08/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;ruling&lt;/a&gt; asserts the government is “likely to succeed” in its legal argument.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Implementation has already begun. The Departments of Veterans Affairs, State, Social Security Administration and Health and Human Services have initiated actions ranging from deferred resignations to probationary layoffs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Reports show VA has shed about 17,000 jobs and aims for a 30,000 reduction by September.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The reaction among federal workers is urgent. According to The Washington Post, many responded with “fear,” scrambling to update resumes and join chats titled “We are toast”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Labor unions and municipal plaintiffs have called the ruling a “serious blow to our democracy,” warning of jeopardized public services.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Supporters hail today’s move as vital to improving government efficiency. Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote that the court &quot;stopped lawless lower courts from restricting President Trump’s authority over federal personnel&quot; and said “federal agencies can become more efficient than ever before”.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The decision doesn’t conclude the fight. Lower courts will assess whether individual agency plans comply with civil service protections and statutory requirements. Until then, selective implementation is expected, with agencies advancing cuts through attrition and probationary terminations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Industry Viewpoint&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Legal analysts note this reflects a broader trend: the Court is increasingly open to validating executive authority in emergency procedural contexts.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Still, the underlying question: can the President Donald Trump unilaterally reshape federal agencies without Congress? remains unresolved. Future rulings could either rein in or cement this precedent.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Federal operations are now at a crossroads. If lower courts ultimately reject the administration’s approach, many positions may be lost irretrievably.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;For now, activity within agencies will accelerate, making it a critical moment for stakeholders, unions, lawmakers, and watchdogs, to monitor compliance and contest overreach.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/3728179549361425755'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/3728179549361425755'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/supreme-court-enables-trump-administrations-mass-layoffs-amid-ongoing-legal-battle.html' title='Supreme Court Enables Trump Administration’s Mass Layoffs Amid Ongoing Legal Battle'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4FtOvUJU-KUvh9GEEi3P8O7Z_MV0TGu-PSRJnZeev7AsnHjGQpZULtk5rYosbnl94vi0EzqVgxQsowyBH6k6Vt7XdqXKGltLrCqQ1QPTOajLdLTcRDokTcNkdmX2jWVD1ei_0DboPN7p-MJo6fGZr3nE6CyKibzYQk3E_hgQmayKbT2cDf52UxtBUFQ-X/s72-c/12.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-6047218307827920805</id><published>2025-07-09T07:29:00.001-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-09T14:42:39.523-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="AI"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="How To"/><title type='text'>How to Scrape Google Search Results with AI</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;How to Scrape Google Search Results with AI&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;984&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1280&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjckDZaP28YmaiNIC9hiGw2gU6rsv4SXOuTdbezZoRQqdNfS5o6myWBMH1jLlO8r61Kde97R31rNiPZ_W_BATSQbZD8BYqb4hw8gffdJ-anb7R_v8s44pSVEhsTwLdPvD2FPuhTBnnGszV0oQ9EQuPOOY7NOoYjVqXWJT-STdQq4V5mwad0cFpshGuFW7fa/s16000/12.webp&quot; title=&quot;How to Scrape Google Search Results with AI&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let&#39;s be honest: if you&#39;ve ever found yourself copying and pasting Google search results into a spreadsheet, you know it&#39;s about as fun as watching paint dry-except with more tabs open and a higher risk of carpal tunnel. In a world where Google fields over 8.5 billion searches every day, it&#39;s wild that so many sales, marketing, and operations teams are still stuck doing manual data extraction. I&#39;ve seen firsthand how much time gets wasted on this, and I&#39;m convinced there&#39;s a better way.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  402. &lt;p&gt;That&#39;s where &lt;a href=&quot;https://thunderbit.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;AI-powered web scrapers&lt;/a&gt; come in, making Google results scraping not just possible, but actually enjoyable (or at least, way less painful). And since I work at Thunderbit, I get to see up close how our tool is helping business users-especially the non-coders-turn Google&#39;s endless search pages into actionable, structured data. Let&#39;s dig into how you can automate Google scraping, why it matters, and how Thunderbit stacks up against the competition.&lt;/p&gt;
  403. &lt;h2&gt;Meet Thunderbit: The Easiest AI Web Scraper for Google Results&lt;/h2&gt;
  404. &lt;p&gt;I&#39;ll admit, I&#39;m a little biased, but Thunderbit really does make scraping Google search results feel like cheating-in a good way. Thunderbit is a &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/a-beginners-guide-to-downloading-safe-and-useful-chrome-add-ons.html&quot;&gt;Chrome extension&lt;/a&gt; built for business users who want to extract data from the web without touching a line of code. Whether you&#39;re in sales, marketing, ecommerce, or real estate, Thunderbit is designed to take the grunt work out of web data extraction.&lt;/p&gt;
  405. &lt;p&gt;Here&#39;s what makes Thunderbit stand out as a Google results scraper:&lt;/p&gt;
  406.  
  407.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;AI Suggest Fields&lt;/b&gt;: Just click a button and Thunderbit&#39;s AI scans the Google results page, automatically suggesting the right fields to extract-titles, URLs, snippets, and more. No more fiddling with CSS selectors or writing scripts.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Subpage Scraping&lt;/b&gt;: Need more than just the search results? Thunderbit can follow each result&#39;s link and pull extra details from the destination page. Imagine scraping a list of companies from Google, then having Thunderbit visit each site to grab emails or phone numbers.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Instant Data Export&lt;/b&gt;: Once you&#39;ve got your data, send it straight to Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable, or Notion with a single click. No more messy copy-paste jobs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ready-to-Use Templates&lt;/b&gt;: For popular sites (including Google), Thunderbit offers 1-click templates that auto-configure your scrape-perfect for when you just need the basics, fast.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;No Coding Required&lt;/b&gt;: Seriously, if you can use Google, you can use Thunderbit. It&#39;s trusted by over 20,000 users and holds a 4.9-star rating on the Chrome Web Store.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  408. &lt;/ul&gt;
  409. &lt;p&gt;What I love most is how Thunderbit feels like having a super-efficient intern who never gets tired or asks for coffee breaks. For sales and ops teams who need quick data from Google, it&#39;s a total time-saver.&lt;/p&gt;
  410. &lt;h2&gt;Why Automate Google Scraping? Business Use Cases and ROI&lt;/h2&gt;
  411. &lt;p&gt;Let&#39;s get real: Google search results are a goldmine for business insights. But manually copying data is a productivity killer. Studies show B2B sales reps spend nearly 28% of their time just researching and sourcing contacts. That&#39;s time better spent actually closing deals.&lt;/p&gt;
  412. &lt;p&gt;Here are some of the most common ways teams use automated Google scraping:&lt;/p&gt;
  413.  
  414.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Lead Generation &amp;amp; Sales Prospecting&lt;/b&gt;: Build lists of potential customers by scraping names, titles, websites, and even emails or phone numbers from Google results and linked pages.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Competitor Monitoring &amp;amp; Market Research&lt;/b&gt;: Track where competitors show up, what ads they&#39;re running, and spot emerging trends by regularly scraping SERPs.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;SEO and Content Strategy&lt;/b&gt;: Collect top-ranking pages, &quot;People Also Ask&quot; questions, and featured snippets to inform your content and keyword strategy.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Operations and Data Aggregation&lt;/b&gt;: Research suppliers, candidates, or compliance info by scraping Google and linked directories.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  415. &lt;/ul&gt;
  416. &lt;p&gt;The ROI is clear: if a web scraper saves your team just 5 hours a week, that&#39;s 260 hours a year. At $30/hour, that&#39;s $7,800 in reclaimed value-not to mention the competitive edge you get from acting on fresh data.&lt;/p&gt;
  417. &lt;p&gt;Here&#39;s a quick snapshot of how automation transforms the process:&lt;/p&gt;
  418. &lt;table&gt;
  419.  &lt;tbody&gt;
  420.    &lt;tr&gt;
  421.      &lt;td&gt;

  425.        &lt;p&gt;Manual Process&lt;/p&gt;
  426.      &lt;/td&gt;

  429.      &lt;/td&gt;

  431.        &lt;p&gt;Value Gained (ROI)&lt;/p&gt;
  432.      &lt;/td&gt;
  433.    &lt;/tr&gt;
  434.    &lt;tr&gt;
  435.      &lt;td&gt;
  436.        &lt;p&gt;Lead Generation&lt;/p&gt;
  437.      &lt;/td&gt;
  438.      &lt;td&gt;
  439.        &lt;p&gt;Copying leads one by one&lt;/p&gt;
  440.      &lt;/td&gt;
  441.      &lt;td&gt;
  442.        &lt;p&gt;Bulk scrape dozens in minutes&lt;/p&gt;
  443.      &lt;/td&gt;
  444.      &lt;td&gt;
  445.        &lt;p&gt;10x faster list building&lt;/p&gt;
  446.      &lt;/td&gt;
  447.    &lt;/tr&gt;
  448.    &lt;tr&gt;
  449.      &lt;td&gt;
  450.        &lt;p&gt;Competitor Monitoring&lt;/p&gt;
  451.      &lt;/td&gt;
  452.      &lt;td&gt;
  453.        &lt;p&gt;Taking screenshots/notes&lt;/p&gt;
  454.      &lt;/td&gt;
  455.      &lt;td&gt;
  456.        &lt;p&gt;Scheduled, automated data collection&lt;/p&gt;
  457.      &lt;/td&gt;
  458.      &lt;td&gt;
  459.        &lt;p&gt;Continuous, actionable insights&lt;/p&gt;
  460.      &lt;/td&gt;
  461.    &lt;/tr&gt;
  462.    &lt;tr&gt;
  463.      &lt;td&gt;
  464.        &lt;p&gt;Market Trend Research&lt;/p&gt;
  465.      &lt;/td&gt;

  506. &lt;h2&gt;What Makes a Great Google Results Scraper?&lt;/h2&gt;
  507. &lt;p&gt;Not all web scrapers are created equal-especially when it comes to Google. Here&#39;s what I look for in a Google results scraper:&lt;/p&gt;
  508.  
  509.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ease of Use&lt;/b&gt;: Non-technical users need a visual interface or AI assistance, not a coding bootcamp. Thunderbit&#39;s &quot;AI Suggest Fields&quot; is a perfect example.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;AI-Powered Data Extraction&lt;/b&gt;: The best tools use AI to recognize patterns and fields (titles, URLs, snippets, emails) automatically, adapting to changes in Google&#39;s layout.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Reliability&lt;/b&gt;: Google changes its page structure often and uses anti-bot measures. A good scraper should be resilient and updated regularly.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Comprehensive Data Capture&lt;/b&gt;: SERPs aren&#39;t just blue links-they include ads, featured snippets, &quot;People Also Ask,&quot; and more. Flexibility is key.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Export &amp;amp; Integration&lt;/b&gt;: Easy export to Excel, Sheets, Airtable, or Notion is a must for business users.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Scalability &amp;amp; Speed&lt;/b&gt;: Whether you&#39;re scraping a handful of results or hundreds, the tool should handle your needs without slowing you down.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Business-Friendly Features&lt;/b&gt;: Scheduling, team collaboration, and responsive support make a big difference for business teams.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  510. &lt;/ul&gt;
  511. &lt;p&gt;Business users want quick setup and integration with their everyday tools. Technical users might want more control or API access. The best tools bridge this gap-powerful under the hood, but easy enough for anyone to use.&lt;/p&gt;
  512. &lt;h2&gt;The Best AI Tools to Automate Google Scraping&lt;/h2&gt;
  513. &lt;p&gt;There are plenty of tools out there, but not all are created with business users in mind. Here&#39;s my curated list of top AI-powered web scrapers for Google search results:&lt;/p&gt;
  514. &lt;h3&gt;Thunderbit: AI-Powered Google Results Scraper&lt;/h3&gt;

Thunderbit can follow each result&#39;s link and extract details from those pages (like emails from profile pages).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Ready-to-Use Templates&lt;/b&gt;: For common tasks, just pick a template and go-no setup required.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Instant Export&lt;/b&gt;: Send your data straight to Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable, or Notion.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Scheduling&lt;/b&gt;: Set up recurring scrapes (&quot;every Monday at 9am&quot;) and let Thunderbit do the rest.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Pricing&lt;/b&gt;: Free tier for small jobs (6 pages/month), with paid plans starting at $15/month for 500 rows.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  518. &lt;/ul&gt;

  652. &lt;h2&gt;How to Use Thunderbit to Scrape Google Search Results: Step-by-Step&lt;/h2&gt;
  653. &lt;p&gt;Let me walk you through scraping Google with Thunderbit-it&#39;s genuinely that easy.&lt;/p&gt;
  654.  
  655.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Install Thunderbit and Sign InAdd the Thunderbit AI Web Scraper extension to Chrome and sign up (Google account or email works).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Open Google and SearchRun your search on Google. For example:site:linkedin.com &quot;marketing manager&quot; New York&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Launch Thunderbit on the Results PageClick the Thunderbit icon. Hit &quot;AI Suggest Fields&quot;-Thunderbit will propose columns like Title, Link, and Snippet.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;(Optional) Enable Subpage ScrapingIf you want to extract more info from each result&#39;s linked page (like emails from profile pages), mark the URL column for subpage scraping and define what to extract there.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Start ScrapingClick &quot;Scrape&quot; or &quot;Run.&quot; Thunderbit will fill a table with your data in seconds.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Export Your DataExport directly to Excel, Google Sheets, Airtable, or Notion. Or just copy-paste if you&#39;re feeling old school.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Refine or RepeatNeed more pages? Adjust your settings and run again. Want different fields? Update your instructions and re-scrape.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
  656. &lt;/ol&gt;
  657. &lt;p&gt;Pro tip: If Google throws a CAPTCHA, just solve it and retry. Thunderbit uses your browser session, so it&#39;s less likely to get blocked for moderate use.&lt;/p&gt;
  658. &lt;h2&gt;Tips for Effective Google Data Extraction&lt;/h2&gt;
  659. &lt;p&gt;A few tricks I&#39;ve picked up along the way:&lt;/p&gt;
  660.  
  661.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Craft Targeted Queries&lt;/b&gt;: Use Google operators (site:, quotes, AND/OR) to zero in on the data you want.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Handle Pagination Wisely&lt;/b&gt;: Scrape a few pages at a time; relevance drops after page 5 or so.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Watch for Rate Limits&lt;/b&gt;: Don&#39;t go too fast-scrape at a human pace to avoid blocks.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Leverage AI Features&lt;/b&gt;: Use Thunderbit&#39;s AI to extract emails, phone numbers, or other patterns directly.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Validate and Clean Data&lt;/b&gt;: Always check your output for errors or weirdness before using it.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Automate Recurring Tasks&lt;/b&gt;: Set up schedules for ongoing needs-weekly lead lists, monthly competitor checks, etc.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Stay Organized&lt;/b&gt;: Save your scraping &quot;recipes&quot; and document your process for future use.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  662. &lt;/ul&gt;
  663. &lt;h2&gt;Staying Compliant: Legal and Ethical Considerations for Google Scraping&lt;/h2&gt;
  664. &lt;p&gt;Before you go wild, remember: scraping Google is technically against their Terms of Service. While it&#39;s common practice in many industries, you should be aware of the risks-Google could block your IP or account. Always scrape responsibly:&lt;/p&gt;
  665.  
  666.    &lt;p style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Respect Copyright and Privacy&lt;/b&gt;: Don&#39;t use scraped data in ways that infringe on copyrights or privacy laws.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Don&#39;t Overload Servers&lt;/b&gt;: Scrape at reasonable rates, and be extra gentle if you&#39;re visiting subpages on smaller sites.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Use Official APIs When Possible&lt;/b&gt;: Google offers some APIs for limited, compliant access.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Act Ethically&lt;/b&gt;: Don&#39;t spam people, honor opt-out requests, and always double-check your data.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;
  667. &lt;/ul&gt;
  668. &lt;p&gt;If your business relies heavily on scraped data, it&#39;s wise to get legal advice to stay on the safe side.&lt;/p&gt;
  669. &lt;h2&gt;Conclusion: Unlocking Business Insights with AI-Powered Google Scraping&lt;/h2&gt;

Leading contributors to this total are:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA), with roughly $1.06 trillion in assets under management &amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Mubadla Investment Company, managing about $330 billion &amp;nbsp;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Investment Corporation of Dubai (ICD), which held around $320 billion as of 2022&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Other entities like ADQ, Emirates Investment Authority, and Sharjah Asset Management also factor into the total.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Strategic Investment Priorities&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;These institutions oversee diverse portfolios, steering capital into sectors such as energy, technology, infrastructure, logistics, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and clean energy. This strategy supports the UAE’s ambition to transform its economy beyond oil dependence, reinforcing fiscal resilience and future growth.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Comparison with Global Peers&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Following the UAE in the sovereign wealth ranking are Canada ($1.86 trillion), Singapore ($1.59 trillion), Australia and Saudi Arabia (each $1.53 trillion), and South Korea ($1.17 trillion). Together, Gulf Cooperation Council countries control approximately $5.9 trillion in SOI assets.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Economic Significance and Global Reach&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;Analysts say the UAE’s rise reflects disciplined long‑term planning and sophisticated fiscal management. &lt;a href=&quot;https://gulfnews.com/business/economy/uae-ranks-third-globally-in-sovereign-wealth-assets-right-behind-us-china-1.500186230&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;Gulf News&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/a&gt; states that UAE sovereign wealth entities are becoming “influential players in shaping international capital flows”. Institutional diversification and strong global partnerships are central to this approach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h2 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;What Comes Next?&lt;/h2&gt;&lt;p&gt;With a growing investment presence overseas and continued reinvestment domestically, UAE sovereign funds appear well‑positioned to retain their top‑tier status. Their sustained growth contributes significantly to both national stability and the projection of soft power through economic means.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The UAE now sits comfortably among the three leading sovereign investment nations, with a sophisticated and diversified web of funds under its control. This milestone highlights its success in transitioning from an oil‑based economy to a globally integrated investment powerhouse.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/1199009384259907338'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/1199009384259907338'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/uae-climbs-to-thirdlargest-sovereign-wealth-holder-with-249-trillion-in-assets.html' title='UAE Climbs to Third‑Largest Sovereign Wealth Holder with $2.49 Trillion in Assets'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0kp6agg2s0tBHQDXPI1CpQ0TSbanJY3fhgjKBjG4qmXfUdmu0Bq_XXcUeEhMFlz-S24Xky3Z5ecXViQdc7V3jBlrBJ1gkuQYhS_BXq1JJGRb8jD9Ivni73uQVleJPRlG0huSZ7ZhYYl5Pweh3MlWEK0zPgE61-G3qhdrCq2ENChfGhSWKMw83u2srQ-TZ/s72-c/IMG_7257.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-1144452713140897088</id><published>2025-07-08T15:47:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-08T15:55:05.910-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Food Tips"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="News"/><title type='text'>McDonald&#39;s Big Announcement: Spicy McMuffin Debues July 8 as Snack Wrap Returns July 10 in Bold Menu Shake-Up</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;McDonald&#39;s Big Announcement: Spicy McMuffin Debues July 8 as Snack Wrap Returns July 10 in Bold Menu Shake-Up&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1080&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1920&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlzrdg_u7y0oQeM6kldskILyQZIB2nzIbSy1Nb4A9Hp7eODwMT_p5tScWGG2dBqrLgSMmhnualBrY7h6Uorv2VDb56xrZxdmt0m-M4uM2Dd9a1TGsTI2jDhYAC868JA95WosKSDrs87Hhyvbkyg5wyLGhqRT6rezYBqNJiys1aS_VDZSC4Y1166MUMvCgk/s16000/12.jpg&quot; title=&quot;McDonald&#39;s Big Announcement: Spicy McMuffin Debues July 8 as Snack Wrap Returns July 10 in Bold Menu Shake-Up&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;McDonald’s is updating its menu with two strategic moves that marry nostalgia with modern taste trends, and it is being dubbed as a &quot;McDonald&#39;s Big Announcement&quot; in the last 50 years of its operations.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The first launch arrives on July 8, 2025: the &lt;b&gt;Spicy McMuffin&lt;/b&gt; lineup. It builds on the 50‑year legacy of the Egg McMuffin by adding a spicy pepper sauce to the classic egg and cheese combo. Options include the Egg McMuffin with spicy sauce, a Spicy Sausage McMuffin, and a Spicy Sausage McMuffin with Egg. Introduced as a limited‑time offering, this lineup responds to the widespread appetite for bolder morning flavors.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On July 10, McDonald’s will formally bring back its &lt;b&gt;Snack Wrap&lt;/b&gt; across all U.S. locations. First arrived in 2006 and phased out in the U.S. in 2016, this compact handheld wraps McCrispy chicken strips, lettuce, a cheese blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack, and a flour tortilla, paired with ranch or the new spicy‑pepper sauce. Sources confirm its reintroduction as a permanent menu item.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This limited-time glow-up includes everything you already love about the iconic Egg McMuffin® —melty cheese, a freshly cracked egg (now sourced 100% cage-free in the U.S.)... Fans can also enjoy the Spicy Sausage McMuffin® and the Spicy Sausage McMuffin® with Egg. –&lt;i&gt;&amp;nbsp;The company said in an &lt;a href=&quot;https://corporate.mcdonalds.com/corpmcd/our-stories/article/USmenuspotter.html&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;official announcement&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This return is backed by operational changes: McDonald’s has retooled kitchens with McCrispy strips and efficiency improvements to avoid past prep issues, aiming for consistent availability at roughly 13,500 locations.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Strategically, this dual launch caters to customers craving flavor variety and value. Breakfast fans get a fiery twist, while snack enthusiasts enjoy a proven favorite at accessible price points. The Snack Wrap revival follows robust fan campaigns on social media, petitions, and viral clips, with the brand responding directly to public demand.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In context, fast‑food competition that includes Popeyes’ recent chicken wraps has pushed McDonald’s to move decisively in the handheld chicken segment.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As inflation and sluggish restaurant traffic challenge the sector, adding crowd‑pleasing items plays to both loyalty and new customer segments.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;h3 style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;Insider Takeaway:&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;p&gt;McDonald’s isn’t just revisiting old hits; they’re reinventing menu items with supply chain support and social buzz behind them. The Spicy McMuffin taps into the heat‑seekers in breakfast, and the Snack Wrap’s return answers a clear customer demand. If these menu changes drive comparable sales recovery remains to be seen in Q1 2025 saw a global sales dip of 1 %, with U.S. comparable sales off 3.6 %. Still, aligning product strategy with vocal fan bases is a smart play.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Expect queues early next week. For McDonald’s, the key isn’t just menu change, it’s reconnecting with customers through flavor, nostalgia, and smart timing.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/1144452713140897088'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/1144452713140897088'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/mcdonalds-big-announcement-spicy-mcmuffin-debues-july-8-as-snack-wrap-returns-july-10-in-bold-menu-shake-up.html' title='McDonald&#39;s Big Announcement: Spicy McMuffin Debues July 8 as Snack Wrap Returns July 10 in Bold Menu Shake-Up'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlzrdg_u7y0oQeM6kldskILyQZIB2nzIbSy1Nb4A9Hp7eODwMT_p5tScWGG2dBqrLgSMmhnualBrY7h6Uorv2VDb56xrZxdmt0m-M4uM2Dd9a1TGsTI2jDhYAC868JA95WosKSDrs87Hhyvbkyg5wyLGhqRT6rezYBqNJiys1aS_VDZSC4Y1166MUMvCgk/s72-c/12.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-6257864457543678258</id><published>2025-07-07T15:12:00.014-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-07T15:15:03.506-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Funding"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Press Release"/><title type='text'>Parter Exits Stealth with $5.5M to Help Hardware Teams Stay Ahead of Chaos</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Parter AI Logo&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;200&quot; data-original-width=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8ofwZMld0_PhkZpM4r8K75Y6bvFL1TEpxndR-gSZQFc3q8s_lHhocFy80EHAQERHzPA8mYcf88o7lPT00GH-Jiet3mhjrFHTd0qiOn54XHzRewwBUhrdWvPvL2E6wN5NSZdyOFOtWIqPYovIkucCnYXsAsUe7Sf42QFJQzCaJC4AlxbomgTSH5RR2RCr8/s16000/partner_ai_logo.jpeg&quot; title=&quot;Parter Exits Stealth with $5.5M to Help Hardware Teams Stay Ahead of Chaos&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Parter, a startup building AI-powered tools for hardware teams juggling supply chain mess and engineering sprawl, has raised $5.5 million in seed funding. The round was led by StageOne Ventures, with backing from Zenda Capital, Mercer Ventures, and a notable lineup of angels, including ex-Sequoia partner Shmil Levy and executives from Cisco, Avalor, and Innoviz.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The company is emerging from stealth at a time when global hardware manufacturing is under significant pressure. Tariffs, shortages, and disconnected systems are slowing down product timelines. In a 2024 survey of over 500 manufacturing execs, a staggering 98% said fragmented and incomplete data was holding them back.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Parter’s AI platform is built to turn that chaos into something usable. It ingests BOMs, datasheets, PDFs, ERP systems, and PLMs, cleans them all up, and then uses AI agents to generate live insights. That means early warnings on tariffs or obsolescence, instant alternatives for critical parts, and smoother collaboration across the supply chain, R&amp;amp;D, and engineering.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;“Our customers are under pressure from every direction. Data is siloed, teams are disconnected, and global instability makes everything harder,” said Asaf Israelit, co-founder and CEO of Parter. “We built Parter to bring clarity. Our platform connects data, teams, and decisions so hardware companies can streamline their operations and move with confidence - all thanks to AI.”&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;The startup already serves OEMs, ODMs, and manufacturers across IoT, automotive, defense, and communications. RH Group, a global manufacturer with operations across the U.S. and Europe, says the platform has helped it respond faster to customers by automating quoting and sourcing.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;As of this week, Parter has also joined Palantir’s Foundry-backed accelerator, one of just 25 startups selected globally. The program supports AI-native companies working in heavy data environments, a fit that matches Parter’s mission to fix the data mess plaguing hardware teams.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The new capital will go toward expanding U.S. operations, growing go-to-market efforts, and building out more automation features that keep hardware companies ahead of the next supply chain shakeup.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/6257864457543678258'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/6257864457543678258'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/parter-exits-stealth-with-55m-to-help-hardware-teams-stay-ahead-of-chaos.html' title='Parter Exits Stealth with $5.5M to Help Hardware Teams Stay Ahead of Chaos'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8ofwZMld0_PhkZpM4r8K75Y6bvFL1TEpxndR-gSZQFc3q8s_lHhocFy80EHAQERHzPA8mYcf88o7lPT00GH-Jiet3mhjrFHTd0qiOn54XHzRewwBUhrdWvPvL2E6wN5NSZdyOFOtWIqPYovIkucCnYXsAsUe7Sf42QFJQzCaJC4AlxbomgTSH5RR2RCr8/s72-c/partner_ai_logo.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-5544052905075191563</id><published>2025-07-07T15:06:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-07T15:06:26.496-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Chrome"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Google"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Technology"/><title type='text'>A Beginner’s Guide to Downloading Safe and Useful Chrome Add-ons</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;A Beginner’s Guide to Downloading Safe and Useful Chrome Add-ons&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1293&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1920&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQQUKQMo-HLSnohAD7XQsWCeXtm-HL71UliDLbmNjat4mEjxxIADRqNqIcoi3WdFuk_g1YYvi6QnCdCgLJSQL3HSwMExZR9cXUypCC6A5MZLCPkw2gcwhM7DE7Nwc_HlUN1vkzs1SFEMxAV-34UspwjNZo_6LrBq1YagIG2rlAbORquZfSM4VB_DeKol6_/s16000/12.jpg&quot; title=&quot;A Beginner’s Guide to Downloading Safe and Useful Chrome Add-ons&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do you want to make your browser better?&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  673. &lt;p&gt;Chrome add-ons can help. They prevent advertisements, remember passwords and protect you on the Internet. They are minute features which you can include in your browser.&lt;/p&gt;
  674. &lt;p&gt;But be careful. Some add-ons are bad. They can steal your data or slow down your computer.&lt;/p&gt;
  675. &lt;p&gt;This guide will help you. You will know what add-ons are, how to obtain them, and how to remain safe. Let&#39;s begin!&lt;/p&gt;
  676. &lt;h2&gt;What Are Chrome Add-ons?&lt;/h2&gt;
  677. &lt;p&gt;The Chrome add-ons are lightweight applications, which you may include in your Chrome browser. They do different jobs to make your time online better.&lt;/p&gt;
  678. &lt;ul&gt;
  679.  &lt;li&gt;
  680.    &lt;h3&gt;What Can Add-ons Do?&lt;/h3&gt;
  681.  &lt;/li&gt;
  682. &lt;/ul&gt;
  683. &lt;p&gt;Some stop websites from monitoring you or disable adverts. Others assist you in making screenshots or spelling checks. You have thousands to choose from, so you can select the ones that suit your needs.&lt;/p&gt;
  684. &lt;ul&gt;
  685.  &lt;li&gt;
  686.    &lt;h3&gt;Where to Find Them?&lt;/h3&gt;
  687.  &lt;/li&gt;
  688. &lt;/ul&gt;
  689. &lt;p&gt;They are downloadable at the Chrome web store. This is the safest place to get them. It&#39;s like a shop where Google lists all the add-ons.&lt;/p&gt;
  690. &lt;ul&gt;
  691.  &lt;li&gt;
  692.    &lt;h3&gt;Are All Add-ons Safe?&lt;/h3&gt;
  693.  &lt;/li&gt;
  694. &lt;/ul&gt;
  695. &lt;p&gt;No. Certain add-ons posing to assist take away your information. That&#39;s why you need to exercise caution. Install just those that are reputable and well-known.&lt;/p&gt;
  696. &lt;h2&gt;Smart Choices: Pick the Right Chrome Add-ons&lt;/h2&gt;
  697. &lt;p&gt;The process of selecting the right add-ons resembles selecting the right apps to your phone. You must be savvy.&lt;/p&gt;
  698. &lt;h3&gt;Check the Developer&lt;/h3&gt;
  699. &lt;p&gt;See who made the add-on. Well-known companies are safer. Do a fast search to determine their credibility if you are unfamiliar with the name.&lt;/p&gt;
  700. &lt;h3&gt;Read the Description&lt;/h3&gt;
  701. &lt;p&gt;Before you click &quot;Add to Chrome,&quot; read what the add-on does. Make sure it&#39;s clear and sounds right for your needs.&lt;/p&gt;
  702. &lt;h3&gt;Watch the Permissions&lt;/h3&gt;
  703. &lt;p&gt;Some add-ons ask for a lot of access. Be cautious if you wish to have your internet activities read. That could be a red flag.&lt;/p&gt;
  704. &lt;h2&gt;Add-ons That Make Browsing Better&lt;/h2&gt;
  705. &lt;p&gt;Here are some good tools that many people use. They are useful and safe. &lt;/p&gt;
  706. &lt;ul&gt;
  707.  &lt;li&gt;
  708.    &lt;h3&gt;Browsec VPN&lt;/h3&gt;
  709.  &lt;/li&gt;
  710. &lt;/ul&gt;
  711. &lt;p&gt;This add-on hides your real location and helps you stay private online. It is an excellent method of browsing safely. When you are a newbie, it is wise to &lt;a href=&quot;https://browsec.com/en/chrome-vpn&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;download a VPN extension for Chrome&lt;/a&gt; like Browsec to guard your Internet activity.&lt;/p&gt;
  712. &lt;ul&gt;
  713.  &lt;li&gt;
  714.    &lt;h3&gt;uBlock Origin&lt;/h3&gt;
  715.  &lt;/li&gt;
  716. &lt;/ul&gt;
  717. &lt;p&gt;This one blocks ads and pop-ups. It also stops websites from tracking you. Your pages will load faster too.&lt;/p&gt;
  718. &lt;ul&gt;
  719.  &lt;li&gt;
  720.    &lt;h3&gt;Privacy Badger&lt;/h3&gt;
  721.  &lt;/li&gt;
  722. &lt;/ul&gt;
  723. &lt;p&gt;It learns as you browse and block trackers. It&#39;s made by a group that cares about online safety.&lt;/p&gt;
  724. &lt;ul&gt;
  725.  &lt;li&gt;
  726.    &lt;h3&gt;HTTPS Everywhere&lt;/h3&gt;
  727.  &lt;/li&gt;
  728. &lt;/ul&gt;
  729. &lt;p&gt;This tool makes sure the websites you visit are using safe, encrypted connections.&lt;/p&gt;
  730. &lt;ul&gt;
  731.  &lt;li&gt;
  732.    &lt;h3&gt;DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials&lt;/h3&gt;
  733.  &lt;/li&gt;
  734. &lt;/ul&gt;
  735. &lt;p&gt;It blocks trackers and helps you search safely. It gives you a privacy score for each site.&lt;/p&gt;
  736. &lt;ul&gt;
  737.  &lt;li&gt;
  738.    &lt;h3&gt;Decentraleyes&lt;/h3&gt;
  739.  &lt;/li&gt;
  740. &lt;/ul&gt;
  741. &lt;p&gt;This stops sites from loading outside files. It is faster and secure.&lt;/p&gt;
  742. &lt;h2&gt;A Quick Guide on Adding Extension&lt;/h2&gt;
  743. &lt;p&gt;An extension is simple to add by taking a few steps.&lt;/p&gt;
  744. &lt;h3&gt;Step 1: Browse the Chrome Web Store&lt;/h3&gt;
  745. &lt;p&gt;Choose it from the Chrome Web Store after opening Chrome. You can find it on Google or write: chrome.google.com/webstore&lt;/p&gt;
  746. &lt;h3&gt;Step 2: Use the Search Bar&lt;/h3&gt;
  747. &lt;p&gt;Enter the name of the add-on you desire. Such as, &quot;Browsec VPN&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
  748. &lt;h3&gt;Step 3: Click on the Right Add-on&lt;/h3&gt;
  749. &lt;p&gt;Make sure it&#39;s the right one. Check the reviews and who made it. Look for one with lots of users.&lt;/p&gt;
  750. &lt;h3&gt;Step 4: Click &quot;Add to Chrome&quot;&lt;/h3&gt;
  751. &lt;p&gt;A box will pop up. It will ask for permission. Read it, then click &quot;Add Extension.&quot;&lt;/p&gt;
  752. &lt;h3&gt;Step 5: Check Your Extensions&lt;/h3&gt;
  753. &lt;p&gt;Go to all your add-ons as in the image of a puzzle icon on the upper-right corner of Chrome. You can pin your favorites here.&lt;/p&gt;
  754. &lt;h2&gt;Managing and Removing Add-ons&lt;/h2&gt;
  755. &lt;p&gt;An excessive number of add-ons may make your browser slow. Retain those that you use.&lt;/p&gt;
  756. &lt;ul&gt;
  757.  &lt;li&gt;
  758.    &lt;h3&gt;How to Manage Add-ons&lt;/h3&gt;
  759.  &lt;/li&gt;
  760. &lt;/ul&gt;
  761. &lt;p&gt;In Chrome, click the three dots and visit Extensions; here you can see a complete list. You may switch it on and off.&lt;/p&gt;
  762. &lt;ul&gt;
  763.  &lt;li&gt;
  764.    &lt;h3&gt;How to Remove an Add-on&lt;/h3&gt;
  765.  &lt;/li&gt;
  766. &lt;/ul&gt;
  767. &lt;p&gt;Go to the &quot;Extensions&quot; list, find the one you don&#39;t need, and click &quot;Remove.&quot; It&#39;s gone in seconds.&lt;/p&gt;
  768. &lt;ul&gt;
  769.  &lt;li&gt;
  770.    &lt;h3&gt;Keep Them Updated&lt;/h3&gt;
  771.  &lt;/li&gt;
  772. &lt;/ul&gt;
  773. &lt;p&gt;Most update on their own, but check from time to time. New updates keep them safe and working well.&lt;/p&gt;
  774. &lt;h2&gt;Signs of a Bad or Dangerous Add-on&lt;/h2&gt;
  775. &lt;p&gt;With all the care, a few bad ones fall through. Here&#39;s how to spot them.&lt;/p&gt;
  776. &lt;h3&gt;Slows Down Your Browser&lt;/h3&gt;
  777. &lt;p&gt;A bad add-on might be the reason behind Chrome suddenly feeling slow. Try turning them off one at a time to find the problem.&lt;/p&gt;
  778. &lt;h3&gt;You See Weird Ads&lt;/h3&gt;
  779. &lt;p&gt;More ads than usual? That&#39;s a warning sign. Some add-ons add their ads.&lt;/p&gt;
  780. &lt;h3&gt;You&#39;re Sent to Strange Websites&lt;/h3&gt;
  781. &lt;p&gt;If clicking links takes you to places you didn&#39;t expect, uninstall that add-on right away.&lt;/p&gt;
  782. &lt;h3&gt;It&#39;s Asking for Too Much&lt;/h3&gt;
  783. &lt;p&gt;An add-on for taking notes shouldn&#39;t need access to everything you do online. If it asks for too much, don&#39;t install it.&lt;/p&gt;
  784. &lt;h2&gt;Tips for Safe Browsing with Add-ons&lt;/h2&gt;
  785. &lt;p&gt;You can enjoy all the good that add-ons offer if you&#39;re careful.&lt;/p&gt;
  786. &lt;ul&gt;
  787.  &lt;li&gt;
  788.    &lt;h3&gt;Only Use What You Need&lt;/h3&gt;
  789.  &lt;/li&gt;
  790. &lt;/ul&gt;
  791. &lt;p&gt;More isn&#39;t always better. Stick with a few useful ones.&lt;/p&gt;
  792. &lt;ul&gt;
  793.  &lt;li&gt;
  794.    &lt;h3&gt;Update Chrome Often&lt;/h3&gt;
  795.  &lt;/li&gt;
  796. &lt;/ul&gt;
  797. &lt;p&gt;A new version of Chrome helps add-ons work better and stay safe.&lt;/p&gt;
  798. &lt;ul&gt;
  799.  &lt;li&gt;
  800.    &lt;h3&gt;Stay Alert&lt;/h3&gt;
  801.  &lt;/li&gt;
  802. &lt;/ul&gt;
  803. &lt;p&gt;Sometimes even good add-ons get sold to bad companies. If something feels off, remove it.&lt;/p&gt;
  804. &lt;h2&gt;Final Words: Use Chrome Add-ons the Smart Way&lt;/h2&gt;
  805. &lt;p&gt;Chrome extensions can perform wonders. They keep you focused, junk-blocking and data-safe. But just in case you choose the right ones.&lt;/p&gt;
  806. &lt;p&gt;Learn to take care not to get into trouble. Be focused on what you install and read reviews. When in doubt, do not add it.&lt;/p&gt;
  807. &lt;p&gt;Stay safe. Browse smart. And enjoy a better internet experience with the right tools by your side.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/5544052905075191563'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/5544052905075191563'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/a-beginners-guide-to-downloading-safe-and-useful-chrome-add-ons.html' title='A Beginner’s Guide to Downloading Safe and Useful Chrome Add-ons'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQQUKQMo-HLSnohAD7XQsWCeXtm-HL71UliDLbmNjat4mEjxxIADRqNqIcoi3WdFuk_g1YYvi6QnCdCgLJSQL3HSwMExZR9cXUypCC6A5MZLCPkw2gcwhM7DE7Nwc_HlUN1vkzs1SFEMxAV-34UspwjNZo_6LrBq1YagIG2rlAbORquZfSM4VB_DeKol6_/s72-c/12.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8869657471256965778.post-4201946205365400563</id><published>2025-07-07T14:36:00.003-04:00</published><updated>2025-07-07T14:36:20.452-04:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Business"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Business Tips"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="Growth Hacking"/><title type='text'>Why external accounting is fueling the pace of fast-growing businesses</title><content type='html'>&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;img alt=&quot;Why external accounting is fueling the pace of fast-growing businesses&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;900&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1600&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ8vgxOHSxaeqr7IvwQB24thEUk-bgO3zppDuRjwghtfkU0mcigZaPs_1QlRUYAeGyiaplcnhdPZcpu0ZJZLXZ-ASMAQiaUy5OvBsZ1F-hlpCFsPT27Bth8NJnzBPS0jzvKs_0k83HW_e1vz-dDRWvmuyvgJM2RhJbI6PfJADlYC6wJt5GAtQUYvhy8fjP/s16000/12.jpg&quot; title=&quot;Why external accounting is fueling the pace of fast-growing businesses&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Growth is exhilarating - until it&#39;s not. Fast-moving businesses often find themselves sprinting ahead in sales, expansion, and headcount, while their back office tries desperately to keep up. One area where the gap becomes painfully obvious is accounting. When revenue climbs and operations spread, the early spreadsheet approach collapses. Financial clarity fades. Mistakes multiply. Deadlines creep up. And suddenly, a business built to scale is wobbling under the weight of its own success.&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
  808. &lt;p&gt;That&#39;s where external accounting earns its value - not just as a fix, but as a foundation for further growth.&lt;/p&gt;
  809. &lt;p&gt;Finance is often treated as a necessary chore in the early stages. Founders cobble together numbers in between meetings, invoices are sent off by gut feel, and expenses live across emails, apps, and random receipts. It works, barely, when things are small. But success changes everything. More clients. More vendors. More complexity. And that complexity demands structure.&lt;/p&gt;
  810. &lt;p&gt;It&#39;s at this stage that many companies turn to &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.bobsbookkeepers.com/outsourced-bookkeeping&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;outsourced bookkeeping services&lt;/a&gt; to regain control. But it&#39;s not just about offloading tasks. It&#39;s about upgrading capability.&lt;/p&gt;
  811. &lt;p&gt;External accounting partners don&#39;t just take over the books - they bring perspective. They&#39;ve seen growth curves before. They know where errors hide and how to build systems that prevent them. Instead of hiring one person to manage QuickBooks, businesses get a structured team with defined processes, quality control, and tech know-how. That shift transforms accounting from a reactive burden into a strategic asset.&lt;/p&gt;
  812. &lt;p&gt;Time is one of the first things a business gains. Think of all the hours spent chasing receipts, reconciling transactions, correcting mistakes, and redoing reports before a board meeting. External teams handle that quietly, consistently, and often with better tools than internal teams can afford or maintain. While internal resources focus on innovation or customer relationships, outsourced teams build the financial backbone.&lt;/p&gt;
  813. &lt;p&gt;Accuracy improves next. Mistakes in accounting aren&#39;t just numbers - they&#39;re liabilities. Misreported revenue, misclassified expenses, or missed deadlines can lead to penalties, broken investor trust, or poor decisions. An external team, built around checks and accountability, reduces that risk. They follow procedures. They review. They flag anomalies. And they ensure compliance across the board.&lt;/p&gt;
  814. &lt;p&gt;Scalability is another edge. Growing businesses often outgrow their financial systems without noticing. What worked at $500K in revenue won&#39;t work at $5 million. Processes crack. Spreadsheets break. Financial reports stop answering the right questions. External accounting firms come equipped to handle that scale. They&#39;ve supported businesses through fast growth, M&amp;amp;A activity, international expansion, and funding rounds. Their experience becomes part of the company&#39;s toolset.&lt;/p&gt;
  815. &lt;p&gt;And there&#39;s clarity - the kind that drives better decisions. Timely, accurate reporting isn&#39;t just nice to have. It determines whether a company makes payroll with confidence or takes on debt recklessly. It reveals whether a new market is truly profitable or just growing on paper. When finance runs well, leaders can ask the right questions and actually trust the answers.&lt;/p&gt;
  816. &lt;p&gt;Fast-growing companies also benefit from the outside perspective that comes with external accounting. Internal teams, even if experienced, can develop blind spots. They get used to how things are done and may miss better ways of doing them. External accountants come in with fresh eyes. They bring benchmarks, best practices, and technologies that internal teams may not even know exist.&lt;/p&gt;
  817. &lt;p&gt;In the middle of scaling chaos, a partner offering outsourced bookkeeping services can provide consistency when everything else is in motion. Roles change, teams shift, offices open and close - but financial reporting continues. Month-end closes don&#39;t depend on whether one person is on vacation. That operational stability matters more than many founders realize - until they&#39;ve lived without it.&lt;/p&gt;
  818. &lt;p&gt;The cost advantage matters too. Hiring an internal accounting department requires salaries, training, benefits, software licenses, and managerial oversight. External accounting turns that fixed overhead into a flexible cost. Businesses pay for the support they need - no more, no less. And they can scale it up or down as the business evolves. That elasticity is gold in a high-growth environment.&lt;/p&gt;
  819. &lt;p&gt;One often overlooked benefit is audit readiness. Whether it&#39;s for internal investors, due diligence, or regulatory compliance, businesses eventually face scrutiny. Clean books mean faster audits, fewer delays, and less stress. A strong external team keeps everything documented, categorized, and traceable. That preparation doesn&#39;t just protect the business - it accelerates it.&lt;/p&gt;
  820. &lt;p&gt;And there&#39;s trust. Investors, lenders, and strategic partners want financials they can believe in. When those reports are backed by experienced professionals with a track record, that trust builds faster. An investor might take a second look at a pitch if the financials are sloppy or unclear. They&#39;re more likely to move forward when everything adds up - literally and figuratively.&lt;/p&gt;
  821. &lt;p&gt;Some might worry that external accounting means a loss of control. That&#39;s rarely the case. A good partner works with transparency, shares dashboards, aligns with internal goals, and adapts to the company&#39;s preferred systems. The relationship is collaborative, not transactional. And when it works, it feels less like outsourcing and more like extending the team.&lt;/p&gt;
  822. &lt;p&gt;Fast growth brings pressure, but pressure can forge structure - or cause collapse. The difference often lies in which parts of the business are built to handle the pace. Accounting doesn&#39;t have to be one of the weak links. In fact, when handled strategically, it becomes one of the strongest supports for scaling.&lt;/p&gt;
  823. &lt;p&gt;Because financial clarity isn&#39;t just about numbers. It&#39;s about making sure the momentum a business earns actually leads somewhere.&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/4201946205365400563'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='https://www.blogger.com/feeds/8869657471256965778/posts/default/4201946205365400563'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://www.allblogthings.com/2025/07/why-external-accounting-is-fueling-the-pace-of-fast-growing-businesses.html' title='Why external accounting is fueling the pace of fast-growing businesses'/><author><name>AllBlogThings Editors</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/18064135514762525847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgC7CcgNPt5eXHdpD69vOZVewO8s_dIoY2ZXN66_FPAmZ1jalpyyznBzkLISu4pI8hxHq3ztqo9U38GnertT0_nDpPn6fvBI3nHak6E2GJUOkgUhT8i3ux7lFnTOK9sfA/s113/12.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ8vgxOHSxaeqr7IvwQB24thEUk-bgO3zppDuRjwghtfkU0mcigZaPs_1QlRUYAeGyiaplcnhdPZcpu0ZJZLXZ-ASMAQiaUy5OvBsZ1F-hlpCFsPT27Bth8NJnzBPS0jzvKs_0k83HW_e1vz-dDRWvmuyvgJM2RhJbI6PfJADlYC6wJt5GAtQUYvhy8fjP/s72-c/12.jpg" height="72" width="72"/></entry></feed>
