A little chain of hotels in London, UK, Centenary Hotels had a good occupancy rate all year round. Regarding room revenue, the board of directors expressed more than satisfaction with the hotel performance. For the food and beverage division, the same cannot be stated, though. In terms of customer attendance, the hotel restaurants appeared to be performing poorly; just 15% of hotel occupants would dine there, and a very limited number of outside patrons would ever visit. They chose to overhaul all of their five-star restaurants and commit a significant sum of money to guarantee that a modern design was applied in every one of the establishments and a new executive chef had rebuilt every one of their menus. These days, every restaurant had separate access to the high street to avoid attracting possible outside patrons.Food safety issues in an urban food system will need to be taken into account across the farm to fork continuum stretching from how the food is produced, stored, transpo

Wars, in particular, reverberate across the generations. They feature what economists refer to as a "long tail." As of 2019, the United States continued to provide pensions to Civil War veterans' dependents, as well as more than 4,000 from the Spanish-American (1898) and Philippine-American (1899-1902) conflicts. When I was a kid, our neighbor, the spinster Miss Jones, was a Victorian who could recall the outbreak of World War I. Her father most likely had a neighbour who remembers the Battle of Waterloo when he was a youngster. The advent of audio and film recording altered historical memory permanently, allowing us to experience the past not just vicariously but viscerally. Civil War troops performing the Rebel Yell, Tennyson reciting The Charge of the Light Brigade, and Brahms performing one of his Hungarian Dances are all examples of time capsules available on YouTube. The sound quality is low and distorted due to rudimentary equipment, yet it is undeniably the sound

All the time, meteors land on Earth An asteroid the size of a mountain moving at 64,000 kilometers per hour struck planet Earth 66 million years ago. Everybody is aware of what came next. I would want to assume that the dinosaurs gazed up at the heavens earlier that day only to ignore the far-off asteroid as yet another meteoroid space-rock passing our planet at a reasonable distance. Or maybe another shooting star improbable of surviving a passage through the atmosphere. Eventually, after all, meteors land on Earth constantly. But minutes later, most of those dinosaurs as well as 80% of life on Earth would be wiped off by an explosive yield projected at more than 100 trillion tons of TNT. The subsequent seismic event would be the equivalent of every earthquake that has ever occurred on Earth all at once. Only one in five would escape what scientists currently regard as the last of the five major mass extinction catastrophes; those close enough to see the massive fireball and unsuited

Back across the pond, Richard Cobden and John Bright formed a political alliance opposed to imperialism and war, believing that repealing the UK's protectionist Corn Laws would shift the country away from paternalistic imperialism and toward a more peaceful world, possibly without meaningful national borders. After all, libertarianism without socialism is still libertarianism with a purpose. However, the appearance may differ significantly. According to Zwolinski and Tomasi, post-Cold War libertarianism has begun to divide into three camps: paleolibertarianism, bleeding-heart libertarianism, and left-libertarianism. Paleolibertarianism emphasizes the supposed connection between freedom and culture. They highlight the importance of property rights in safeguarding national values by giving a theoretical foundation for the exclusion of outsiders (something other libertarians strongly oppose). Paleolibertarians believe that individuals are fundamentally conservative and are skeptical o

A month or two ago, I was emailing with the ever-gifted Mary Harrington about her recent book (reviewed here in The Hub) and noted that I enjoyed how many of the problems she addressed in the book fit into an old-school "left-wing" political model. Her response was illuminating. She continued: "I don't have a problem with being recognised as a leftist in some respects; it's true, and besides I'm not sure the terms really apply anymore, as the split these days is more human vs posthuman." This, I believe, is exactly where we need to be with education. Another term for cruel is inhumane. Both the Left and the Right are acting like barbarians, pushing a vision of education that is destroying our shared history and the reflections of humans attempting to make sense of the world. It needs to stop. It's time for a more humanistic, human-scale approach to education. However, humanists of all political persuasions must work together to attain this goal. Bria

Cofounders Greg Sewitz and Gabi Lewis met in college and founded Magic Spoon in 2019. They started out as a direct-to-consumer company, successfully capturing over a million consumers through their clever internet strategy before moving into retail. They have subsequently expanded to Amazon, Target, Walmart, Albertsons/Safeway, Sprouts, and other retailers. They have also raised more than $100 million in capital from celebrity investors such as Shakira, Halsey, The Chainsmokers, Amy Schumer, and Odell Beckham Jr. More for you.

With the release of a new certified range of vegan labels devoid of animal-derived components, Avery Dennison has once more set another market first. Every item in the portfolio was also developed without animal testing, or the application of genetically modified organisms derived from animals. This is why the collection has been approved by EVE an independent company founded by Vegan France aiming at advancing vegan substitutes in several sectors, including food and medical. Six paper facestocks, three adhesives, and two liners in the collection at launch can be mixed and matched depending on customer demands. In both conversion and application, every item performs rather similarly to non-vegan substitutes. Plans include for new paper facestocks to widen the range depending on converter and end user requirements. Veganism transcends diet," Avery Dennison's product manager Luuk Zonneveld explains. Based on eliminating animal abuse for food, clothes, and everything else you

Get ready for major expansion since the Food and Beverage (F&B) company anticipates an amazing turn-about. The most recent estimate from the international research firm IGD indicates that, with a notable 24% increase, the grocery retail sector worldwide would generate extra US$2.2 trillion in sales by 2024. Rising population, a growing middle class, and strong urban and suburban markets—which give businesses access to an always growing customer base—are driving this increase. Economic Reality: Food Price Relief and Industry Reaction Affecting the Food and Beverage Industry in 2024 #1 Food manufacturers face a fresh challenge in 2024 following two years of price increases meant to cover growing costs.
