![]() There’s recognition that cast-offs can have a cash value that can be easily realised. Households on tight budgets – on furlough, without jobs or working shorter hours – are increasingly selling unwanted goods online. ![]() Vinted adds: “The pandemic has shifted priorities and accelerated the already growing movement toward more conscious consumerism.”Ĭompanies including Asda, Asos Marks & Spencer, Boohoo and Tesco have all signed up to the Textiles 2030 action plan, which includes commitments to enable clothing re-use, recycle fibres, minimise waste and improve the durability and recyclability of garments.įinancial pressures and fashion tastes are also driving secondhand sales. The Lithuanian company, now valued at more than $1bn, says the boom has partly been driven by a lockdown clean-out frenzy during which shoppers turned to the internet to rid themselves of unwanted items they could not offload at charity shops. Vinted, which now has more than 37 million registered members globally across 13 countries, including 1.2 million in the UK, said it saw an increase of between 16% and 17% in listings in its European markets throughout lockdown. It predicts that the resale market will be bigger than fast fashion by 2029 as traditional charity shops sell more items and the for-profit resale market balloons. Research in the US, for resale site ThredUp, suggests that 70% of women were prepared to buy secondhand fashion in 2019 compared with 45% four years earlier. Salter believes pre-owned is unlikely to become more popular than buying new items soon and thinks it is “definitely becoming a more important part of how consumers purchase”. The pandemic has accelerated the already growing movement toward more conscious consumerism Vinted spokespersonĪsda’s move into vintage shows that secondhand “has the potential to go mainstream”, according to Emily Salter at retail analyst GlobalData. ![]() Selfridges now has an outlet for vintage fashion specialist Vestiaire Collective, and handbag label Mulberry which is now refurbishing and reselling its used products online. It suggests sourcing outfits from “charity shops, nearly-new boutiques, vintage emporiums and resale websites”. This year’s style guide for the race meeting says it is celebrating “the art of conscious shopping” and points out that looking good “doesn’t necessarily mean you have to buy something brand new”. Even Royal Ascot has picked up the trend. Celebrities from Kim Kardashian to Livia Firth are now prepared to wear vintage pieces on the red carpet. At fashion website Asos, vintage sales have risen 92%. Asda announced last week that it is testing out secondhand clothing in 50 supermarkets, and John Lewis and Ikea are launching schemes to sell used furniture and fashion. While fashion-conscious teens have been trading previously owned fashion on sites such as Depop and Vinted for several years, older groups are likely to be persuaded by secondhand bargains moving out of traditional charity shops and into mid-market mainstream store chains.

![]() Indoor allergies often last year-round, though they can come and go. When: Outdoor allergies usually start in February or March and end in October.Symptoms: Congestion, itchy and watery eyes, clear nasal discharge, sneezing, and scratchy or ticklish throat.Then see below to determine whether you're likely to have an allergy or nonallergic rhinitis. To see whether you have an allergy or something else, start by keeping track of your seasonal allergy symptoms, when you experience them, and what seems to trigger them. The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI) is so concerned about the potential overuse of those tests that it recently included them in the Choosing Wisely campaign, which highlights unnecessary and sometimes harmful medical care. But such tests are often misleading and can cause you to make unnecessary lifestyle changes. The free tests offered in pharmacies or home tests that you can buy often check for common allergens, including cat dander, cedar, dust mites, egg, and grass. A little redness shows that you have an allergy no reaction suggests nonallergic rhinitis.īe wary of any allergy test that's not prompted by worrisome symptoms, a doctor's exam, and your medical history. If necessary, an allergy skin test, which involves pricking the skin with a tiny amount of the suspected allergens, can confirm a diagnosis. But if you're uncertain or the measures don't help, talk with a doctor.Īn office visit with your doctor and a few questions about your symptoms, environmental and occupational exposure, hobbies, overall health, and other factors should help narrow it down. If you suspect that your symptoms are caused by an allergy, you can often get confirmation-and relief-by taking the simple steps described below. Cold, dry air and food (especially spicy items) can set off similar symptoms.ĭespite the prevalence of nonallergic rhinitis, a study of nearly 300 people published last month found that 37 percent of those who visited their local pharmacy and purchased over-the-counter allergy medication didn't have a diagnosis of allergies from their doctor, and most had not consulted with the pharmacist, either.Įffective treatment for allergies and nonallergic rhinitis starts with identifying the cause. " Nonallergic rhinitis is quite common in older adults, but it's often mistaken for allergies or a cold because the symptoms are very similar," says Janna Tuck, M.D., spokeswoman for the American College of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology.įor example, you may suddenly become congested, have a runny nose, or sneeze when you sit near a smoker or walk down the detergent aisle. It usually shows up in adulthood, and it may be responsible for between 17 and 52 percent of seasonal-allergy-like symptoms. Nonallergic rhinitis affects about a third as many people as seasonal allergies, or roughly 7 percent of the population. ![]() ![]() Lesson 4 –Phillis Wheatley Poem –African slave trade, beloved, Boston, colonists, distressed, earl, emancipated, Great Britain, Greek, kidnapping, Latin, lord, merchant, oppressive, Phillis Wheatley, preface, Senegal, servant, slave trader, Stamp Act, tyranny, William Legge Lesson 3 –Boston Tea Party –associates, Boston, Boston Tea Party, Parliament, colonists, East India Tea Company, exclusive, harbor, import, Intolerable Acts, lithograph, merchant, Mohawk Indians, protest, shopkeepers, Tea Act Lesson 2 –Tarred and Feathered –birth certificate, colonists, etching/engraving, mob, “No taxation without representation!,” official, Parliament, slogan, Stamp Act, tar and feather, taxes Lesson 1 –Proclamation of 1763– alliance/allies, Appalachian Mountains, American Colonies, colonist, French and Indian War, Great Britain, Hudson Bay Company, King George III, Ottawa, Pontiac, Proclamation of 1763 VOCABULARY: Click to Display/Hide Vocabulary List This kit includes video and audio clips, Powerpoint slides, print handouts, readings and teacher guides for 10 lessons. ![]() Includes an 80 page kit designed for Elementary Social Studies classes.

Rather than describe their approach and solution myself, I hopped on camera with Mike Ng, Co-Founder & CEO, and Nikhil Buduma, Co-Founder & Chief Scientist at Ambience Healthcare to learn more about how they’re approaching this EHR documentation burden problem. With this as background, you can understand why I was intrigued by a new company called Ambience Healthcare which just came out of stealth mode with what they describe as fully automated AI medical scribes. None of these happen if the note isn’t completed in real time during the visit. Second, the real time clinical decision support alerts and the coming value based care alerts often depend on the data that’s being inputted into the note. Not a massive issue since doctors are largely used to charting patients well after the visit, but still not ideal and could lead to mistakes. ![]() First, the doctor still has to go back and finalize the note they get from the ambient clinical voice well after the visit. This causes two major workflow challenges. The second major problem of humans in the loop with ambient clinical voice is that it means there’s a delay in getting the notes completed for the doctor. There are lots of views on this out there, but looking at prices for ambient clinical voice today, this is still to be determined. If they can’t, then pricing becomes an issue for many organizations. Can the backend humans be replaced by technology? If they can, then the cost to provide ambient clinical voice will be driven down. Sure, the AI can make the humans more efficient and effective, but it still means that ambient clinical voice using this approach will be expensive. First, if there are humans doing the work in the backend, that means that you can’t use technology to drive the cost of the service down. Why is this a problem? The problem is two fold in my view. ![]() However, it’s not as automated as the user may think. For the end user, the note is created automagically for them. One of the biggest challenges of ambient clinical voice is that while the technology is listening to the conversation in the exam room, the back end solutions today are using a mix of technology and people (essentially remote scribes) to create the note. In other words, there are a lot of companies working on this problem since the documentation burden on clinicians is real. Plus, there are also a number of scribe companies literally putting people in exam rooms to address the issue. Suki is another AI assistant that’s taking a very different approach to the problem. 3M through MModal is playing in this space as well. The biggest player in this right now is Nuance (now part of Microsoft) and their DAX product (They like to call it ambient clinical intelligence). One of the biggest efforts out there right now is called Ambient Clinical Voice. It’s a burden that’s burning out physicians. As most of you know, I’m a huge fan of all the efforts going on to improve the physician documentation process. ![]() In total, 8,988 stories have been published about Philippines which Ground News has aggregated in the past 3 months.

Poor food poor service Rude management but the delivery driver was pleasant enough. Rude firstly and secondly the food was awful the chicken curry was watery and the chow mien in gravy tasted like it was boiled with no flavour. Mmm well maybe your staff should have asked me if I wanted dry chow mien or the one in gravy as clearly they know there are two and I not being from here didn’t. I was then told that’s how we make it here and if you didn’t want gravy you should say. The girl went away and next I was speaking to a rather arrogant manager who told me that I had received chicken chow mien, I explained that this was not what I asked for and that although it was chicken and noodles underneath it was in gravy. I explained I would quite like my meal altogether so I would bag this all up and could we have a fresh delivery with the missing dish. I described the dish and was told they would send the dish when they had a driver. so I called to be asked what had arrived. It seemed on delivery my order was wrong as no Chow Mein was delivered.

Arena shows have to overcome a lot in order to feel like they connect on an emotional level, but for anyone who grew up or lived within a 50 mile radius of the former KeyArena, the entire evening’s worth of performances-especially the Postal Service-felt incredibly triumphant. When he sung “ And you may case the grounds/ From the Cascades to Puget Sound,” the thousands and thousands of ticket holders in the audience roared in the way that only people sitting a mile from Puget Sound could. “I wrote these songs in a cabin apartment up on Mercer and Belmont,” reflected Gibbard, gobsmacked that he was now performing them in the former home of his Seattle SuperSonics, the Space Needle towering above us a quarter-mile away. Though there are more dates coming after their first of two sold-out performances at Seattle’s Climate Pledge Arena, there on the eve of Transatlanticism’s actual 20th anniversary, things felt really special. Some bands perform these shows to pay tribute to albums that didn’t quite get their due, but here, Gibbard and his associates paid tribute to the unfathomable amount of love and adoration that poured out of the audiences who listened to these 20 songs at sold-out show after sold-out show. How do you talk about 20-year-old music without being firmly aware of the fact that it soundtracked the young lives of just about every single person at each of their sold-out/jam-packed arena dates? Even deeper than that, these shows allow listeners a chance to take a time machine back to when these bands were at their most powerful this was the heyday of Ben Gibbard, the front man of both bands, who seemingly wrung himself dry 20 years ago to capture these two records. The mere fact that these two bands are on tour in 2023 performing their respective landmark albums from 2003- Transatlanticism and Give Up-means that nostalgia was always gonna be part of the equation. It would be impossible to talk about the music of Death Cab for Cutie or the Postal Service without talking about nostalgia. |
