Fermented Vitamins and Supplements Start a New Chapter In Health And Wellness – PR Web
Posted: at 9:58 am
New Chapter Appearing on Tomorrow's World Today
PITTSBURGH (PRWEB) November 10, 2020
When you see the word fermented, what do you think of? Beer? Maybe sauerkraut? What about vitamins? Fermenting food is an age-old process that is known for its gut health benefits. Its a probiotic-based process that helps enrich nutrients and unlock the nutritional value of food for the body to use.
In the newest episode of Tomorrows World Today, field reporter Darieth Chisolm heads to New Chapter Headquarters in Vermont to learn why fermented vitamins help break down nutrients so they are pre-digested and ready for our bodies to use. The fermentation process not only helps us get the most out of our nutrients but choosing vitamins and supplements fermented with probiotics and whole foods means they are easy to take, even on an empty stomach.
New Chapter wants you to get the most out of your multivitamin," said Blaine Streisand, General Manager, New Chapter. "For each New Chapter vitamin, we start with organic whole foods, quality-tested nutrients, and clinically studied organic yeast to create easily digestible nourishment. Transforming multivitamins through probiotic fermentation helps to break down key nutrients. Its part of carefully crafting our supplements so your body can really get the goodness packed within.
Chisolm then heads to the Rodale Institute in Pennsylvania where she learns about regenerative agriculture and how New Chapter is partnering with Rodale to inform their formulation decisions. She learns that growing crops organically can help improve nutrient density. She then heads back to New Chapter to get the low-down on sustainable fish oil.
The truth is, some commonly used fishing methods are destroying ocean habitats. For New Chapters fish oil supplements, we ONLY use sustainably caught Wild Alaskan Salmon. In fact, not one additional fish needs to be caught for Wholemegait's pressed from the nutritious trim of salmon already caught for fine restaurants and retail stores. Our pure Alaskan Salmon oil offers a full lineup of 17 whole Omegas that help support heart, brain, eye, and joint health, added Streisand.
To learn more about how New Chapter is revolutionizing the wellness industry, tune in for the seventh episode of season three of Tomorrows World Today, airing on Saturday, November 14 at 8:30 am ET/PT on Science Channel and Sunday, November 8 at 6:30 am on Discovery.
About Tomorrows World Today Season three of this family-friendly, cutting-edge television show travels the world in search of innovative pioneers who are creating new ways to utilize our natural and technological resources for a more sustainable lifestyle. Tomorrows World Today has a home base in Pittsburgh, PA, one of the nations most progressive tech landscapes, home to Duolingo, the most downloaded educational app in the world, and UBERs flagship location for autonomous transportation.

Organic wine is prepared from grapes cultivated organically, which mainly exclude the use of artificial chemical pesticides, fertilizers, fungicides, and herbicides. Organic wine is considered healthy as it has lots of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals.
Organic wine is produced by cultivating grapes without the use of artificial fertilizers or harmful chemicals. Organic wine has started gaining traction in the wake of alarming health issues and rising focus on healthy living. Therefore, rising demand for organic wine has positively influenced the number of organic vineyards.
Further, according to the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture, Spain is considered one of the major regions, which strongly contributes to the production and consumption of organic wine. In the country, almost 80,000 hectares of land is considered to be used for organic farming of grapes.
Other than this, France, Italy, the US, Turkey, and Germany are other major economies, which have a significant contribution in the production of organic grapes and wineries. Favorable climatic conditions, positive government approaches, and focus toward sustainable farming are some of the important factors influencing the growth of the organic wine market worldwide.
Moreover, increase in population demanding healthier food options, along with rise in disposable income has fueled the demand for organic wine. The well-established countries are specifically experiencing massive growth in demand for organic food. Moreover, favorable government regulations to promote wine's organic cultivation are further expected to fuel market growth. All these factors are likely to increase the area and number of organic vineyards, thereby proliferating the growth of the market.

Ditch the Turkey and Pick Up the Pardon – PRNewswire
Posted: at 9:58 am
ASHEVILLE, N.C., Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Each year, more than 45 million turkeys are served around the holiday table. Even worse, an estimated 200 million pounds of turkey meat is thrown out every year. Is that what Thanksgiving is really about?
With plant-based eating on the rise, consumers are looking for deliciously meaty options that align with their desire to eat healthier and make positive environmental choices, especially during the holidays where meat is a traditional staple. If you're vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian or just don't care about the turkey, No Evil Foods' seasonal holiday roast alternative is the perfect solution.
Each year, The Pardon 'Holiday Centerpiece' receives overwhelmingly positive responses from consumers and retailers. To meet the growing demand, No Evil Foods is expanding its distribution to include all Whole Foods nationwide.
"We first introduced The Pardon in our early days at the farmer's market, and it always sold out quickly with demand far exceeding our ability to fulfill orders. Customers have been requesting it be available in stores coast to coast for years, so we're extremely excited for this national launch with our partners at Whole Foods and other retailers across the nation," said Mike Woliansky, No Evil Foods co-founder and CEO.
The artisan Plant Meat brand's success continues to be explosive, with 280% year-over-year sales growth from this time last year. Adding to their success is ThePardon, asthis year's sales have already exceeded last year by 236%
Coated with organic herbs, laden with umami and harnessing power from vital wheat gluten, white beans, chickpea flour and organic seasonings, The Pardon 'Holiday Centerpiece'is the perfect meat-free roast alternative for those who want to celebrate Thanksgiving without sacrificing traditional holiday flavors. Made to be carved, displayed and admired, this meat-free centerpiece provides an authentic roast turkey experience.
Providing 28 grams of plant-based protein, this holiday centerpiece is non-GMO and free of cholesterol, saturated fats, antibiotics, hormones, soy protein isolates, nitrates and dairy. Each 'Holiday Centerpiece' has eight servings per roast and will retail for $19.99.
The Pardon will beavailable nationwide through the fall and holiday season at every Whole Foods Market starting in November 2020. It will also be available for purchase at Wegmans, MOM's, Shop-Rite, Huckleberry's, The Fresh Market, Assorted Vegan and Natural Independents and online at VeganEssentials and FreshDirect.
"While holiday celebrations are all about the food, Thanksgiving is also about taking inventory of what we're grateful for, strengthening the connection with our birth and chosen families, and supporting our communities. None of that requires us to eat turkey," said Sadrah Schadel, co-founder of No Evil Foods. "If more Americans committed to eating less meat, we could dramatically cut emissions from animal agriculture and improve conditions for workers in the poultry industry."
With every purchase of this seasonal holiday 'roast', the Plant Meat brand sends a portion of the profit to Full Circle Farm Sanctuary, a safe haven for rescued farm animals. True to No Evil Foods' core values, The Pardon is a delicious dose of activism made for the center of your dinner table. Plus, it's certified plastic negative, a commitment the Plant Meat brand recently announced. For each pound of plastic used in the production of The Pardon, two pounds of plastic will be removed from the ocean.

Renewable Energy Technologies Are Impacting the Oil and Gas Future – Energy Voice
Posted: at 9:56 am
Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything George Bernard Shaw
The world is shifting towards cleaner, more sustainable sources of energy and the use of renewable energy technologies.
However, this should not be interpreted as the beginning of the end of big oil.
Instead, it should anticipate a transformation and transition of the oil and gas industry, a real and proper renaissance triggered by the inclusion of new renewable energy technologies and big tech innovation.
The coronavirus pandemic forced working patterns, business models and short-term forecasts to change overnight.
But to what extent has the crisis accelerated digital transformation efforts and which technologies are more in demand as a result?
Last month, BP published the 2020 edition of its energy outlook. Although the publication is more than 130 pages long, a single chart dominated all the media attention.
In it, BPs economists analysed three possible scenarios, with one of them suggesting that peak oil demand may have been reached in 2019.
This was enough to trigger a wave of pessimistic articles calling for the end of the outdated oil industry.
But the medias attention was misdirected and missed the point on how the oil industry is adapting to the 21st century.
The oil industry is increasingly perceived as an old-fashioned industry.
According to a survey by EY in 2017, 62% of young workers find careers in oil and gas unappealing.
Besides environmental concerns, young workers described jobs in the industry as unskilled, difficult, dangerous and even harmful to society.
This perception seems to have already started to affect the ability of oil companies to attract new talent.
Bloomberg reported that the number of UK graduates going into the oil sector is now the lowest in seven years.
However, there is a deep fundamental change happening already across the industry that could potentially revolutionise the industry and improve the image.
The inclusion of artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to dramatically transform the industry into an environmentally cleaner more efficient one whilst simultaneously shifting the set of skills demanded by the industry towards more digitally intensive profiles.
There are several examples of the digital and transformation happening already across the oil supply chain, in most cases through strategic partnerships between oil companies and technological companies.
COVID-19 has further accelerated this digital transformation. In a survey by Twilio, a whopping 97% of business decision-makers say that the COVID-19 pandemic has sped up digital transformation at their company.
And 79% of business decision-makers said their budget for digital transformation had increased because of COVID-19.
In terms of exploration, most oil majors and even national oil companies are analysing their geothermal imagery with AI algorithms to improve the prediction accuracy of underground reserves.
Examples of this are abound. Petrobras and Shell recently announced a collaboration with Microsoft for that purpose.
Similarly, Google and Amazon offer partnership schemes where they supply expertise and technology tailored to the oil sector.
Additionally, ExxonMobil is partnering with scientists from MIT to create a fleet of deep-water exploration robots that could effectively increase the amount of data for deep-water exploration areas.
In September 2020, IBM and oil industry services companySchlumberger partnered on a major digitalisation initiative involving the exciting technology of hybrid cloud computing.
Schlumberger CEO Olivier Le Peuch explained that the partnership would result in technology that epitomises the ongoing digital transformation of the oil sector.
The oil industry has traditionally relied on heavy-duty equipment like deep-hole drilling machines.
These devices were generally not connected to the internet or configured to work with more integrated, cutting-edge analytical systems.
On the oil production stage, companies are using natural language processing (NLP) to systematically extract and process data from unstructured oil well production reports.
In addition, by installing sensors and valve systems or even using satellite readings, companies are immediately detecting and even predicting methane leaks in production sites.
NVIDIA and Baker Hughes recently announced a collaboration to collect data from sensors embedded in machines along the supply chain and then analyse the data through AI algorithms to identify potential gains in efficiency and risk management.
In the processing and refining phase, a mix of sensors installed across refineries or with specialised drones companies can detect carbon leaks and measure unusual vibrations that later help them to reduce maintenance costs and improve the safety in refineries.
On the oil trading side, OilX, an oil data analytics company is leveraging all the newly available data sets, from satellite readings to vessel tracking technologies to replicate a digital twin of the oil supply chain that enables users to identify in real-time relevant changes in patterns in the crude market.
The implementation of these new technologies will not only increase the productivity of the oil sector, but it will also dramatically change the skill set demanded by the industry.
The design, implementation, and maintenance of these tools will require professionals trained in data and computer science.
The implementation of AI technologies is revolutionising the oil and gas sector, by making it cleaner, safer and more efficient.
However, as a by-product of this implementation, the required profile for workers in the industry will shift towards more technologically trained individuals.
This injection of young talent could potentially allow the oil industry to evolve and embrace renewable energy technologies to help maintain its position.

Inside One Madmans Wild Plan to Conquer Everest – InsideHook
Posted: at 9:56 am
Today, Everest is a tired cliche of achievement. Overcrowded and completely commercialized, the diminishment of this storied peak is succinctly captured in a photo that went viral in May of 2019. In it, a legion of climbers hooded in brightly colored puffy jackets snake up the ridge of Everest in a perilous conga line, as if ascending a Grand Central escalator at rush hour.
Before Everest was routinely summited, it was the holy grail for alpinists and a conquest that fascinated the public and British government alike. The Moth and the Mountain by Ed Caesar details the race to conquer Everest and one amateurs mad attempt at this historic achievement.
This slim, riveting book hits all the right notes for an epic tale: the trauma of World War I, messy love triangles, globetrotting adventures, and a wayward soul hellbent on conquering his inner demons. At the center is Maurice Wilson, a brilliant, bull-headed, extraordinary figure who, after fighting in World War I, set out on the most incredible adventure to try and redeem his broken life, Caesar tells InsideHook. The adventure in question was highly ambitious and somewhat delusional: Wilson planned to crash-land a plane near the base of Everest and ascend the mountaintop, alone and unaided. At the time, Everest had never been summited and Wilson, for his part, did not know how to fly a plane and had hardly climbed anything more challenging than a flight of stairs.
Caesar first encountered Wilson while reading Into the Silence by Wade Davis, a book about early Everest adventurers in which Wilson earned a few paragraphs. This brief sketch of Wilsons crackpot quest immediately struck Caesar as incredibly cinematic. I used to sometimes wake up thinking about Wilson, Caesar says.
Caesars telling of Wilsons remarkable story, however, is not the first. In his lifetime, the bodacious Wilson was widely covered in the press and, in 1957, English journalist Dennis Roberts published Ill Climb Mount Everest Alone, the first book devoted to Wilson. But, according to Caesar, this first attempt at Wilsons life was riddled with inaccuracies. Crucially, What Roberts didnt do, Caesar says, was talk to anyone in Wilsons family, so he didnt really understand his wartime experience at all. In Caesars view, Wilson was never quite able to get over how extremely lucky he was to survive WWI. You sense him battling with fate and luck a lot, says Caesar, especially on his final trip to Everest.
Caesar conjures prevailing thoughts and psychological mindsets of the time by immersing the reader in historical detail and supplementing this adventure tale with helpful context concerning the geopolitics of a waning British Empire, the existential crisis induced by World War I and subsequent spiritualism.

Wilson came up in a renaissance of exploration, not in pursuit of new trade routes but in the name of science or at least that was the purported reason. As Caesar notes, Shackleton and other legendary explorers of this age framed their expeditions into remote, hostile territories as inward journeys to, in the words of Shackleton, the naked soul of men.
In the case of Wilson, his inability to settle into a contented, middle class family life following his experiences in WWI left him aching for purpose and direction. After a stint globetrotting, from New Zealand to the West Coasts of North America and back to England, he set his sights on Everest.
At the time, public imagination, stoked by British media, was captivated by astonishing feats of human endurance by polar explorers and mountaineers alike. The British government, perhaps detecting declining morale in the empire, sponsored these ambitious quests. But, in the case of Wilson, the British government expressly forbid his journey. Clever and determined, Wilson was able to outfox British officials every step of the way, procuring airplane fuel from unlikely sources and disguising himself as a Tibetan priest to evade detection while crossing the border from India to Sikkim.
They were so ill-equipped by modern standards, says Caesar, speaking of the early Everest climbers, and then related the story of the playwright George Bernard Shaw who, upon seeing a photo of Mallory and company dressed in tweed near the snowy peaks of Everest, remarked they looked as if on a picnic in Connemara, surprised by a snowstorm.
Wilson, for his part, fastidiously researched equipment and bought the most up to date gear he could find from Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly including a lightweight, windproof tent, woolen undergarments, and hobnail boots lined with cork. The same department store supplied previous expeditions with everything from caviar to woolly hats. But, whereas these earlier group expeditions were accompanied by porters whose duties included carrying supplies, setting up camp, and cooking, Wilson had to do all those things alone while carrying a 45 lb. bag.
Wilsons training was laughable. With a mere two months of preparation, he learned to fly. During this time, he also went on long, strenuous walks on Britains highest slopes in Snowdonia and, later, in Wales mountainous north. Though he emerged extremely physically fit, these hills were but a pale shadow of Everest and he neglected to learn basic alpine techniques such as ice cutting, climbing in crampons, the use of the ax.
Most curiously, Wilson trained his mind and body in the art of fasting. In preparation for his march to Everest, Caesar writes, he cut down to one meal a day, then just to fruit, and then to nothing but waterAfter a period of abnegation, he though that the body was rebuilt even stronger. Though this goes against conventional wisdom, Wilsons faith in fasting was rooted in what Caesar calls the regenerative power of asceticism, not unlike holy men he encountered waiting in Darjeeling for opportune weather to tackle Everest.
In the end, Wilson never made it past Camp IV, though its no small miracle he made it that far. In the face of great doubt and adversity, Wilson repeatedly trounced everyones expectations and Caesars biographical tale of Wilson rightly restores a footnoted figure of alpine history to the storied peaks of Mount Everest, where his body lay still today.

Chelsea: The criticism of Kai Havertz is premature and unwarranted – The Pride of London
Posted: at 9:56 am
BRIGHTON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 14: Kai Havertz of Chelsea runs with the ball during the Premier League match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea at American Express Community Stadium on September 14, 2020 in Brighton, England. (Photo by Glyn Kirk/Pool via Getty Images

Even before Kai Havertzs unfortunate contraction of the Coronavirus, commentators have been critical of Chelseas superlative acquisition. The 21-year-old has not set the league on fire from the outset of the campaign and for that, hes been slandered. The message here is this: calm down, he just needs to settle in. This young man will be a sensation, but it may take a short while. Havertz made perfect sense for Chelsea to sign in the summer.Why might it take a while for him to settle in? Lets explore some reasons.
First, Havertz is a young German international. Im not sure how much time he spent in England before signing with the Blues, but to think that transition alone isnt a major difference is naive. Moving to a new country is a major lifestyle move, culture shock and transition. Its tough under the most tranquil of circumstances; now, imagine you are a high-priced youngster moving to play in the English Premier League. The circumstances make it much more difficult and challenging. An overwhelming majority of football supportersespecially punditsshould realize this and know better than to criticize him this early.
England is vastly different than Germany or anywhere else for that matter. To think that a transition from being in Leverkusen to living in London would be easy for any 21-year-old is ignorant. Having to perform at the highest levels of one of the top football clubs in Europe, and the world, places that challenge at a whole other level. Observers should be cognizant of that fact.
Second, Havertz has to communicate in a new language. Its obvious the German had English training in the past, but even then, its new and its different in London.Christian Pulisic will readily acknowledgethat its not always easy to understand English slang. Even Americanswho speak the language regularlyfind it quite difficult on occasion to fully comprehend commentary from UK sportscasters. As George Bernard Shaw oncesaid, England and America are two countries separated by the same language.
Third, Havertz has to play with a whole new bevy of teammates. Absent German national team colleagues Timo Werner and Antonio Rudiger, Havertz has been inserted into a completely new team with which he is unfamiliar. In addition, that new team has a plethora of other new starters who have never played together. This coalescence takes time for any team in any league, especially in a league as demanding as the Premier League where its a monumental challenge.
Fourth, popular wisdom says that playing in the Premier League is different and tougher than any other European league. That change in style and physicality would take an adjustment from even the most hearty physical specimens who make the switch from the continent to the English top flight. Havertzs style is more of finesse than strength, so he will certainly find the transition to be more of a challenge than a more physical player might.
That notwithstanding, expect Havertz to adapt to the enhanced physicality of the Premier League. His strength trainingin coordination with the Chelsea physio teamwill better prepare him for the rigors of the transition. Without a doubt, hell emerge as a true star in the league shortly, perhaps even as soon as early in the new year.
Commentators critical of Havertz should chill and wait until the player fully acclimatizes in a few months to all aspects of his new surroundings. Then they will have to eat crow so to speak when Havertzas a No. 8 in Chelseas midfieldproceeds to wreak havoc on Premier League defenses. It will happen, the only question is how soon? Wait and see.
