New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets Orders NYC to Drop Foie Gras Sales Ban

Catskill Foie Gras Collective

Hudson Valley duck farmers, organized as the Catskill Foie Gras Collective, announced today that the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets has ruled that NYC’s proposed ban on the sale of foie gras in NYC restaurants and retail stores violates State law. The Department has issued an Order directing that New York City “immediately comply with the provisions of Section 305-a of the Agriculture and Markets Law” and refrain from taking any action “that would restrict [the farmers’] ability to sell their product in the New York City market.” Agriculture and Markets Law § 305-a prohibits municipalities, like New York City, from enacting laws that unreasonably restrict farming operations in certified agricultural districts. The Hudson Valley duck farms are located within certified agricultural districts. The Department issued its Order after investigating the farmers’ complaint that NYC’s sales ban, which is known as Local Law 202, would unreasonably restrict their operations. “After reviewing our complaint, the Department of Agriculture has determined the City’s proposed actions do, in fact, violate New York State Law,” said Marcus Henley, a spokesperson for the Catskill Foie Gras Collective. “We are extremely grateful that the Department has taken this action, as hundreds of Sullivan County farm worker jobs were hanging in the balance.” Local Law 202 would have become effective on November 25, 2022, but in a separate lawsuit, a Manhattan judge issued a preliminary injunction that enjoins the City from enforcing the law pending further proceedings in that suit. Had Local Law 202 gone into effect at that time, the sales ban would have caused millions of dollars in revenue loss to the State, New York City, restaurants, wholesale distributors, retail store owners, and related transportation companies. “On a broader scale, the order stops local municipalities from establishing a dangerous precedent of dictating to us what farmers can grow and what people can eat,” added Henley. “It’s great news for farmers and fine diners everywhere.” Proponents for the sales ban, including animal rights groups, mistakenly claim that ducks are treated inhumanely during the foie gras production process. Hudson Valley Foie Gras and La Belle Farms respond that their ducks are well cared for, are allowed to roam freely, and are processed in a government-inspected facility, strictly adhering to animal welfare and federal regulations. Both farms produce foie gras using a special hand-feeding method, like no other farm in the world, so as not to harm the ducks. “These well-funded groups are reactionary and powerful, often times acting without knowing all the facts,” said Sergio Saravia, President of La Belle Farms. “We welcome politicians and reporters to visit our poultry farms and see, firsthand, the farming practices we have in place.” New York City has thirty days to challenge the Department’s Order by filing a court proceeding in Albany County. “We hope the City will accept the Order given the Department’s authority and expertise enforcing the Agriculture and Markets Law, but we will continue to fight to protect our farms if the City decides to spend even more taxpayer dollars on taking the matter to court in Albany.” For more information about foie gras production visit: https://foiegrasfacts.org. About Catskill Foie Gras Collective: The Catskill Foie Gras Collective is comprised of Hudson Valley Foie Gras and La Belle Farm, the main producers of foie gras to restaurants and retail food stores.

ADDING A LITTLE “YAY” TO THE HOLIDAY SEASON Meaghan Murphy – Author of Your Fully Charged Life and Lifestyle Expert Provides Tips to Enhance the Holidays

YourUpdateTV

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/3imJXHAmsTQ It’s the time of year to celebrate with friends and loved ones. Lifestyle Expert and Author or Your Fully Charged Life, Meaghan Murphy has a few ways to add a little “YAY” to the holiday season. DRESS FOR THE OCCASSION Trends experts predict robust spending and larger gatherings over the coming weeks. Murphy says a great way to get started is to set the overall tone. “Think about the ambiance… lighting, decorations, and mood music. However, you also want to look the role,” she adds, “So, if you’re like me and planning to host your friends and family this holiday, I suggest shopping J.Jill to find your perfect holiday hosting outfit.” This Wearever Draped-Front Midi Dress is the perfect dress for any hosting occasion. It has flattering crossover draping and the midi length makes it perfect with tights and boots. Murphy says, “These garments also make the perfect gifts for the favorite women in your life, or yourself,” she continues, “I love the Pure Jill Reversible Sherpa Jacket. One side is a plush faux suede and the other is plush cozy Sherpa, so it's like having two coats in one. A blanket scarf is the epitome of cozy, and this one has a brushed texture for added softness.” J.Jill also has extended sizing, XS – 4X online and XS – 2X in-store. Visit your local J.Jill store or JJill.com to find your favorite pieces. Social media handles: Facebook: @ jjillstyle Instagram: @ jjillstyle GET CONNECTED This is the season to connect with friends and loved ones and Murphy says everybody loves a holiday greeting card, or e-card that shows up in your email. But these days, it’s really about using technology to engage with those around us. “That’s why I love the Nextdoor app,” says Murphy, “It’s a neighborhood network that connects you to your neighbors online and in the real world.” Nextdoor’s purpose is to cultivate a kinder world where everyone has a neighborhood they can rely on—and that’s especially important during the holiday season. “Whether you're hosting a cookie exchange, donating to a local charity, or looking for hidden gem boutiques to shop small, Nextdoor is your neighborhood holiday hub. This is a great way to sell things, organize events, and spread the word locally. Download the app or head to nextdoor.com to join your neighborhood,” says Murphy. For more information go to https://nextdoor.com/. Social media handles: @Nextdoor RECIPE LIFESAVERS The lifestyle expert says it’s important to prepare the menu ahead of time, adding “Over the next few weeks there’s a lot going on and a lot to plan. Think about the guests invited to your party and if there are any dietary restrictions. If you aren’t sure, it’s alright to ask within the invitation.” She always recommends starting with some easy apps and meals. One tip is to use frozen meatballs in a holiday recipe. “I grab Farm Rich Meatballs at my local grocery and stock my freezer. This time of year, I like to make pomegranate glazed meatballs. It usually takes about 15 minutes prep time and 30 minutes to cook… the end result is fantastic,” says Murphy. She highlights the many different ways frozen meatballs can enhance a dish. “You can also add them to easy to make turkey meatball soup and cola glazed recipes,” Murphy says, “Personally, I really love adding them to a charcuterie tray. All of these dishes are warm, hearty, and satisfying. Your guests will absolutely love them.” For more information and easy to make recipes, go to FarmRich.com Contact Details YourUpdateTV +1 212-736-2727 yourupdatetv@gmail.com

Cleantech Oxyle powers wastewater treatment as it raises $3 million to scale growth

Oxyle

Water contaminated with persistent and toxic pollutants is one of the world’s most pressing health and environmental concerns. All over the world precious bodies of water are contaminated with micropollutants such as pesticides, pharmaceuticals, and PFAS chemicals. When untreated, these chemicals cause hormonal imbalances, cancer, and birth defects in humans and pose a serious threat to the survival of our ecosystems. In addressing this global crisis, Oxyle AG, an advanced wastewater treatment and monitoring solution provider, is today announcing a $3 million pre-seed funding round to bring to market their mission of improving the health of our precious bodies of water and protecting ecosystems against micropollutants. The funding round was led by Wingman Ventures with participation from SOSV, Better Ventures, and another.vc. Including this round, with pre-seed non-dilutive funds and grants raised last year, Oxyle has raised over $7.4 million in total. Founded in 2020, Oxyle has developed a sustainable and scalable technology that destroys a wide range of micropollutants including the forever chemicals such as PFAS, pharmaceuticals, hormones, pesticides etc. from contaminated wastewater. Oxyle’s novel treatment process is driven by their nanoporous catalysts that oxidise and eliminate micropollutants, down to detection limits of 1 ng/L, even for the highly persistent compounds that are resistant to existing treatments. This treatment process is coupled with Oxyle’s proprietary analytics technology that allows for real-time monitoring of micropollutants, a truly unique and much-needed offering that helps customers comply with their strict discharge regulations. The aim is to install remotely operated modular, decentralised reactors of varying sizes to meet customer needs from chemical industries, pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, and environmental remediation projects. The core technology behind this game changing innovation was developed over 5 years by Oxyle’s CEO and co-founder, Dr. Fajer Mushtaq, during her doctoral research at ETH Zurich that commenced in 2014. Together with Dr. Silvan Staufert, the concept of a novel catalyst for micropollutant degradation was built into a scalable technology platform that is able to address the problem where it matters: at the source, before they enter waterways. Oxyle has successfully completed several paid pilots with industrial and municipal customers, advanced its technology to TRL8 through on-site demonstrations, and grown to a team of 17 people. Oxyle’s team of water experts possess strong expertise in developing and implementing advanced water treatment and monitoring solutions for its customers. Dr. Fajer Mushtaq, CEO and Co-founder of Oxyle AG commented: “We are living in an era where we face several existential crises on a daily basis and lack of clean, pollutant-free water is one of them. At Oxyle, we are bringing market-disruptive solutions that remove and detect micropollutants in an efficient, cost-effective and sustainable manner for our industrial and municipal customers. We are exploiting new market drivers such as stricter regulations and growing public pressure to expand our operations in attractive market segments and help a diverse portfolio of global customers. We are excited to work in close partnership with our investors, customers, regulators and partners as we prepare for the market entry of our latest product, our batch treatment system.” Dr. Silvan Staufert CTO and Co-founder of Oxyle AG commented: “Flexibility is at the heart of our technology since its conceptualization. Key performance metrics such as ease of use, energy efficiency and treatment decentralisation were always in the focus. With our scalable technology platform we provide both efficient treatment and monitoring solutions and are ideally positioned to tackle this problem wherever it comes up. Building on the success of our ongoing customer pilots where we have shown removal of PFAS to below detection limit. We are building on this momentum to provide products that protect our health and the environment from these toxic forever chemicals. At present, 80% of the world's wastewater is discharged in rivers, lakes and groundwater bodies without receiving any treatment. Rapid industrialization and growing demand for better consumer goods means ever increasing discharge of toxic pollutants into effluents and a strain on our freshwater resources. In the last few years, incredible advances have been made in the field of water analysis allowing regulators to detect very low concentrations of pollutants in water. Moreover, regulators now have a much better understanding of how toxic and problematic even very low concentrations of micropollutants are for humans and our ecosystems. Just this year, EPA’s health advisory level for PFOA (chemical used in the production of waterproof clothes, teflon, cosmetics etc.) was drastically lowered from 400 ppt (ng/L) in 2009 to 0.004 ppq (pg/L), a 100,000x stricter level due to the danger these chemicals pose to humans when consumed. These market drivers and the lack of effective solutions, have created the perfect opportunity for Oxyle to bring our innovative treatment and monitoring solution to market and fill the much needed void. The proceeds from the funds raised in our round will be used to strengthen our team with upscaling capacities, expand our customer portfolio into attractive market segments, build partnerships to enter new locations, and most importantly, to bring our first product to market next year. Alex Stöckl, founding partner at Wingman Ventures, commented: “Solving our global water crisis has never been more urgent. Our freshwater resources are depleting at alarming rates and toxic micropollutants in water lead to severe damages in our health and environment. New regulations will demand companies to act. But additionally, we need to use sustainable technology to protect our precious water resources for us, and our future generations. We are proud to support Oxyle on their journey to address our global water problem in order to give everyone access to clean water.” Pae Wu, general partner at SOSV, commented: “The pervasive and hidden problem of forever chemicals and other diverse pollutants in our drinking water demands urgent action. Oxyle's technology directly attacks the hardest challenges to deploying a real solution at scale - by volume, by cost, and at the parts per trillion (and below) levels that are necessary to make a meaningful impact on our health. We are thrilled to make this investment in Dr. Mushtaq and her team to get this much-needed technology into the market to solve this major challenge to our right to clean drinking water.” Currently, discharge regulations are based upon the Best Available Treatment (BAT) standards. Oxyle’s technology has demonstrated removal of even the most persistent compounds like PFAS to below detection limits of 1 ng/L, a BAT standard that is 10-100x lower than our competitors. We truly believe that the best approach to solving the global water contamination crisis is to implement stricter pollutant discharge regulations that are realistic to achieve by solution providers. Our long-term vision is to work closely with customers and regulators to set new discharge regulations and support a wide range of customers in developed and developing nations against the negative impact of micropollutants. Empowering our end-users with an efficient technology supported by real-time treatment monitoring performance, while allowing them to reuse treated water and lowering CO2 emissions in customers’ value chains are core components of Oxyle’s long-term mission. About Oxyle Oxyle AG’s market-disrupting technology specializes in advanced wastewater treatment for removal of highly persistent, mobile, and toxic micropollutants such as pharmaceuticals, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, industrial chemicals like plasticizers and PFAS etc., from industrial and municipal effluents. Oxyle’s catalytic oxidation treatment guarantees removal of >95% of highly problematic chemicals in a cost-effective, eco-friendly, and efficient manner, allowing their customers to easily comply with the new stringent discharge regulations. Oxyle’s long-term vision is to set new (and stringent) discharge regulations and support a wide range of customers in developed and developing nations against the negative impact of micropollutants.

Micro-EVs Could Be The Future of Urban Mobility - Here’s One Company To Keep Your Eye On

Eli Electric Vehicles

Interested in investing in Eli Electric’s campaign? Click here to get started. For Marcus Li, the founder of Eli Electric Vehicles, the problem of the century is congested cities with what he labels misfit solutions for transportation. In your typical city, especially in the US, most of the cars on the road and used in private transportation are highway cars. Essentially, there are limited reasons for large SUVs and similar car makes to exist in cities. They take up valuable space while contributing to pollution, congestion, urban sprawl, and overexploitation of the materials required for car manufacturing. Nearly 70% of the global population is projected to live in cities by 2050. Simply put, consumers need a better option than the status quo if they want a vehicle in a city but have no reason to maintain a full-size vehicle. There is a need for cars to be designed for cities, especially when the highway car model is not compatible and cities are only projected to grow. In the US, 50% of daily trips are under 3 miles and 75% of all car trips are under 10 miles. This is where micro vehicles come into play. A micro vehicle is the smallest size of car available with three or four wheels and a smaller engine. Many micro vehicles are electric. Micro vehicles are a concept that has been introduced previously, especially globally where micro vehicles are popular modes of transportation in countries like China, India, and European countries. The market is only expected to grow as countries are pushing for greater emission regulation and consumers shy away from more expensive models of cars that are ill-suited for their daily needs. The micro electric vehicle market is projected to reach $22.11 billion in 2029 with a compound annual growth rate of 12.7% between 2022-2029. In 2021, the industry was worth $8.32 billion. With micromobility – a term that refers to a range of small, lightweight vehicles operating at speeds typically below 15-25km/h – on the rise, there is a growing demand for cars that fit one or two people and are designed for trips under 10 miles. This demand is what drove Eli Electric to create its flagship micro-EV model, Eli ZERO. The company says the Eli ZERO model is less than half the size and 3 to 10x more energy efficient than a conventional car. Their car starts at $11,999 and has a battery with a range of 45 to 90 miles. It is designed with cities and consumer needs in mind. Eli Electric Is Ready To Fill A Gap In The Industry Eli Electric is focusing on European and North American markets; in the micro-EV world, the West has been slow to adopt the micro-EV model. While countries in the Asia-Pacific region have a more competitive market, there is relatively abundant opportunity and high demand in America and Europe. The Eli ZERO model is already in production and has been successfully developed and delivered. It has the necessary certifications in the European Union and the United States. Sales have started in the EU with more than 20 dealers and 3 distributors. Eli Electric has a partnership with OEM manufacturers and can produce over 15,000 units per year. Eli Electric is currently hosting another round of crowdfund raising to help meet the surging market and to expand sales in the US. The company has a history of successful grassroots campaigning. It has nearly 3,000 investors on board and during its first fundraising push, the company raised $11 million and used the funds to produce Eli ZERO and launch sales in Europe. It would seem clear that the future of urban mobility is intrinsically connected to the micro-EV model. Government encouragement like Biden’s target to have 50% of all vehicles be electric by 2050 only furthers this point. Eli Electric is positioning itself to be a leader in the European and North American markets. Click here to read more about Eli Electric’s raise and how to invest. Eli Electric Vehicles is reimagining personal vehicles by creating advanced, efficient and affordable micro-EVs for daily short trips. Headquartered in California and Beijing, Eli aims to be the leader in electric transportation for short-range and high frequency trips. It’s flagship micro-EV, Eli ZERO, is a next generation personal vehicle that empowers riders to reconnect with their neighborhood and cities and ultimately reduce the congestion, inefficiency and pollution caused by oversized highway cars.

Is it cheating to get help on an assignment? No, it is not cheating to get help on an assignment. Why? Simply because getting help is not cheating. It is realizing the need for assistance from a third party or someone other than yourself. And it could come as a result of several reasons. First, many people ask for professional help because they cannot write well in English. Imagine an international student who came to study in Australia but does not have a good command of the native English language. How will he fare when given the assignment to be written all through in the English language? If he attempts such work, he could fail because he would be appraised on grammar and sentential coherence. And that would have long-term repercussions for his academic pursuits. Thus, it is important that he asks for help when he needs it. Also, sometimes, you are just pressed for time on an assignment to complete it with the required research quality. Only an expert could get that done. So, what do you do in that scenario? You ask for help. So, no, getting help on an assignment is not cheating. Can professors tell if you cheat online? No, professors cannot always tell if you cheat online. Mostly because if you get assignment help online from the above-listed websites, you are not cheating. Also, the professor cannot find out that you got external help from them. The only way the professor can likely pick that up is if you got your essay written by a quack or unreliable website. And that can be very dangerous for you. Plus, it has a slim chance of happening to you if you order your essays from the websites we have curated for you above. Further, these websites have a discretion policy where they keep their clients anonymous from the prying eyes of many people over the internet. So, if you have inputted your details on their website, you can keep your mind at rest because it will not be displayed anywhere. That is, you would not find it randomly on any visible or dark website on the internet. How do people get caught up on assignments? There are many ways people get caught on an assignment. And it starts with not ordering from the right websites. If you buy your essay from fake websites on the internet or from quack writing professionals, then you are bound to be a victim. This is because most of the content or assignments these guys would deliver to you would be fake. And they would be ridden with plagiarism. Thus, they are unreliable. And you can easily get caught up on assignments that way. Further, you can also get caught up on an assignment through plagiarism checkers stuck as Turnitin. And with software like that, badly written content hardly get past. So, if you have badly written content from a random stranger or unverified website online, then your essay will most likely be flagged by your professor and the plagiarism-checking tool. But this can be avoided if you choose from the websites noted above for your assignment help needs. They are reliable, and they provide you with 100% plagiarism-free content that you can use and not be flagged by. How to hire an expert and get professional assignment online? The simplest way is by choosing any of the websites we have shared above. You could pick from PaperHelp to 99Papers. Or even opt for HomeworkForMe. There are also other options like PaperCoach. All these platforms are reliable and help you to make the best possible decisions for your assignments. They are great places to visit for my assignments help if you are in Australia. They are reputable and trusted sources of the best essays in the market. And they also provide you with the best possible content in delivery out there. Did we also mention that they turn in the work speedily? So, you should definitely leverage them.
