All the while, he’d been chronicling his business adventures in a well-read blog that has made him one of his country’s best-known entrepreneurs. And, like Jobs, he’s a shrewd innovator with a knack for pulling talented people into his orbit-and motivating them to rewrite the rules.Ī former bookstore chain magnate, Ovchinnikov found himself out of work in 2010, thanks to an overly aggressive development strategy and the global recession. He’s quick to laugh and crack jokes through his translator, Emiliano Ananyin. He speaks only haltingly in English, but he’s working on learning the language. With his sunny smile, hipster specs and swirly-tipped coif, Ovchinnikov puts the lie to Cold War stereotypes of stolid, scowling Russians in fur hats.

Dine-in stores peddle American and Russian beers and an assortment of juices, and every shop serves muffins and cookies. Various locations offer varying levels of service, from delivery and carryout only to dine-in, with menus offering up to 18 kinds of pizza as well as the popular Dodster, a baked chicken and mozzarella wrap that accounts for 10% of the company’s sales.

Growth like that suggests Dodo Pizza, despite its famously doomed namesake and mascot, is in no danger of going extinct. By the end of 2015, he estimates a total of 75 stores will be in operation, while the company’s first American shop could open within the next year in Oxford, Mississippi (PMQ’s hometown). It currently has 43 franchise and five corporate-owned locations in Russia, Romania and Kazakhstan. Ovchinnikov’s company is, indeed, relatively small, but it’s expanding rapidly. It’s difficult for Domino’s and Papa John’s to change because they are hostages to their size.” “We can create a more efficient business model of a pizza store with the help of the Internet and a more efficient chain operation based on key franchising principles. “We want to create an international chain, and we know how to accomplish that,” Ovchinnikov says, with breezy self-assurance. Using cloud-based computer technology, webcams, guerrilla marketing techniques and a highly influential blog, Ovchinnikov is building an empire worthy of the old czars, attracting ambitious franchisees and, better yet, money men willing to fund his dream of global expansion. As founder of a fast-growing Russian chain called Dodo Pizza ( ), the 33-year-old entrepreneur has reinvented the pizza business in his native land. Fedor Ovchinnikov may have a name that’s hard to pronounce, but it’s one worth remembering.

The grant for Georgia Writers will go toward the John Lewis Writing Grants, which are inspired by the late civil rights icon, and their purpose is to elevate, encourage, and inspire voices of Black writers in Georgia. Georgia Writers Association joins nine other organizations this year that are receiving an Amazon Literary Partnership grant for the first time. We love this program so very much and appreciate the Amazon Literary Partnership for supporting this essential creative work.” “The work invigorated my staff members in a challenging year, and the authors who coached and led workshops were so open to mentoring these young creatives. “I cannot tell you what wonderful feedback we received from the Amazon Writers cohort/participants,” said Angela Flowers, executive director of Writers in the Schools (WITS) for Houston. “It’s a joy to welcome selected authors into the National Book Foundation family, champion their debuts, and connect readers everywhere with these wonderful new voices.” “We are so grateful for the generous support of the Amazon Literary Partnership, which allows us to celebrate five authors each year whose debut titles provide a first look at their exceptional talent as fiction writers,” said Ruth Dickey, executive director at the National Book Foundation. The full list of 2022 grantees is included below, and here are some highlights:įor more than a decade, the Amazon Literary Partnership has been the sole funder of the National Book Foundation’s 5 Under 35 program. At Amazon, we believe in the power of words to transform lives, communities, and the world, and we are honored to support these vital organizations that support and champion writers. We support organizations that amplify often overlooked and underrepresented writers, and connect writers with their readers. Since 2009, the Amazon Literary Partnership has provided more than $15 million to local, regional, and national organizations across the country that empower writers to create, publish, learn, teach, experiment, and thrive. They deserve all the support they can get." "Essential to the publishing ecosystem, literary magazines have shown resilience and innovation, fueled by their commitment to writers and the transformative power of literature. "CLMP is extremely grateful to the Amazon Literary Partnership for providing support to literary magazines, which, like all publishers, continue to face the ongoing challenges of supply chain disruptions and rising production costs, but with fewer resources," said CLMP Executive Director Mary Gannon. “We’re extremely grateful to work with the Amazon Literary Partnership to support a diverse community of poetry organizations and publishers whose work sparks compassion and helps us imagine new ways forward,” said Jennifer Benka, president and executive director of the Academy of American Poets. Each of these funds will award dozens of grants to exciting and vital literary magazines and poetry organizations. For the fourth year in a row, we are also supporting grants through the Literary Magazine Fund, administered by the Community of Literary Magazines and Presses (CLMP), and the Poetry Fund, administered by the Academy of American Poets. This year, Amazon awarded 74 grants totaling more than $1 million to organizations across the country focused on supporting writers. From New York to Texas and Georgia to California, the Amazon Literary Partnership strives to make a lasting impact on the literary community. This suggests that the Warp Star's top speed was reduced sometime during development, but this change was not reflected in the Flight Warp Star and the otherwise unused 3D race mode Free Star and Steer Star. The Free Star and Steer Star, which can be used in Air Ride and City Trial through the debug feature, share this slightly higher top speed with the Flight Warp Star, but their flight abilities are the same as the regular Warp Star.Despite being described as just a Warp Star with enhanced flight ability, the Flight Warp Star also has a slightly higher top speed than its regular counterpart.It's really just a Warpstar with flight ability. You can ride this machine only in the Free Run of City Trial. It resembles and functions similarly to the standard Warp Star, but has significantly higher gliding prowess, slightly more top speed, and a more aerodynamic design.īecause the Flight Warp Star is not available for use in any competitive mode, its purpose is to allow players to more easily explore the City and enjoy flying at their leisure, rather than to dominate City Trial opponents with its superior flight ability. Once it takes off from a jump or drop, it is capable of flying indefinitely, and can easily gain enough altitude to reach the top of the City. The Flight Warp Star has the best flight ability of any non-legendary Air Ride Machine in the game.

Therefore, he sent him and Tiff a dream where Kirby received his dream training, which later paid off in the final episode when he stole a Winged Star from a Winged Star rider as he fought to prove what a true Star Warrior he was to everyone (because King Dedede and Escargoon sent and told him to do so and open the gate leading into the main interior of Nightmare's Fortress). Because he knew this, he knew that Kirby must learn to fly not just Warp Stars, but other battle vehicles like the Air Ride Machines as well. According to Kabu, from what he has learned from the other Kabus throughout the universe, Nightmare has been stealing these Air Ride Machines from all over the universe. It can also be noted that the Air Ride Machines were said to have been stolen by eNeMeE from the Star Warriors that fell in the battle in the great war. It's mix of random events, vehicular combat, item based gameplay, and constant powering up makes it a blast to play since you'll never play the same match twice. All four Air Ride Machines in the anime are also in Kirby Air Ride, with more content in the game than in the Anime, contrary to most things in the Anime. City Trial is the most well remembered mode in Kirby Air Ride by a country mile. The Air Ride Machines included in the anime are the Formula Star, the Rocket Star, the Winged Star, and the Shadow Star. In the final episode, they are used primarily by Nightmare Enterprises, but some are put into use by Kirby after their riders are defeated.

I’ve sold the share I borrowed at £10 but if the value increases to £100, I’ll have to spend £100 in order to give a share back to the person I borrowed from. If my prediction is incorrect and StuffCo’s shares go through the roof, I’m in big trouble. I have pocketed £5 by correctly anticipating the fall in the share price. They get their share back and I’ve still got the £10 I sold it for, minus the £5 I had to pay to replace it. So I wait for the StuffCo share price to fall to £5, then buy it and return one share to the person I borrowed from in the first place. I no longer have the share I borrowed but I will have to give it back at an agreed time. If I sell it straight away, that puts £10 in my pocket. If I expect the share price to fall (because I think it is a rubbish business: badly run, for instance, or selling outdated products), I can borrow a share in StuffCo from someone who has it, in return for a small fee. If the price rises to £15, I can then sell my stock for a profit of £5 per share. If I believe the share price is going to rise, I’ll simply buy shares at £10. Let’s say StuffCo (a made-up company) has a share price of £10. It’s a way of making money by betting that a company’s share price will fall. But a good place to start is by understanding what short-selling is – and how the Wall Street wizards who do it could end up being wrong-footed by a group of amateur traders. Upcoming releases will include a variety of fruit-flavored Weekender Weisse - otherwise known as Florida Weisse brews - each flavor created by a different Due South brewer.

Pete's Cycle Brewing where brewer Doug Dozark is credited with creating the first fruit-forward sour ale dubbed the Ich Bin Ein Rainbow Jelly Donut, a weisse made with hand-squeezed key limes and fresh raspberries. The full program is expected to launch next fall when the brewery unveils its new tap room. That includes Due South's take on the popular Berliner Weisse, a sour-style wheat beer made with both traditional warm-fermenting yeasts and lactobacillus cultures. Several weeks ago, the beer - officially dubbed the Weekender Weisse - became the sour project's first release. Although we're still in the experimental stage, thanks to our expansion plans we now have a dedicated space where we can focus on making some really great sours." "Fermentation takes a long time and can be tricky to keep under control. "There's a lot of good reasons why most brewers don't, and a lot more still as to why Due South hasn't done it in the past," says Due South founder Mike Halker. The one question everyone is wondering: "Why not sooner?" When it goes live later this year, the brewery will stand as the first in Palm Beach County to offer imbibers a dedicated sour program. in Boynton Beach is on the verge of launching an all-new sour project, which means pretty soon there will be a ton of fun and experimental sour-style beers to sample.

If this is the VIP experience count us out in the future, we all thought $600 for 4 of us was way over the top and the whole operation was not slick enough, we all wished we had gone to one of the many top restaurants to be found nearby and had our celebrations elsewhere. We had a bottle of spirits included with our prepaid deal, to our amazement ID'd again and had to wait 20+mins for the bottle to arrive, at this point we all had, had a gutful of waiting and asked to produce c/cards and ID on multiple occasions. But oh no we were chaparoned from the restaurant out of the front to wait at the front of the nightclub behind the ropes, where we were made to wait a further 10 mins, ID'd again and up the lift to our table. After supper we had a table in the nightclub reserved, which as it turns out was just above where we sat, up one flight of stairs. Food was good, no complaints there, only grumble was that a c/card bill was produced to us after dinner and we were ID'd again, the deal had all been paid for upfront. reservation for dinner and birthday celebration, for which we arrived 10 mins early, this is where we had our first ID check of the evening, we were then made to wait 35-40 minutes before we were sat down and orders taken for supper.

We put the spotlight on the industry's most recognisable faces in our new interview segment " Seven Sins". Our New Year arrived with a bang, in a great club, with a great hostess in a great city. It didn’t detract from our time there, but I could see how it would annoy you if you were a big dancer. We were packed in, yet somehow it was still workable. This was the most crowded club that I've ever been to, regardless of the time of year. I’m no celebrity whore, but it was nice to meet someone off the telly! She was wearing a lovely sparkly white dress and looked as good in the flesh as she does on TV. Kim Kardashian herself mingled, but mainly hung out in the VIP section. The people were nice and quite sociable, even though there were plenty of drunk people around. Vegas nightlife on the Strip best suits the wealthy and connected, but we didn’t feel left out at all. The DJs knew their stuff too, throwing out the classics and the new tracks to keep everyone moving around. The sound system is very impressive, as bass and treble shook the floor all night. It’s a high traffic place and looks to be wearing quickly.Īs far as the music, it was the standard mix of hip hop and dance music. The décor is great, but is needs tidying up. I bet all the Buddha statues along the walls could tell a few tales. The decor is magnificent, but it all looks a little used. It's a perfect spot to soak in the lovely sights and enjoy some drinks. The lounge area when you first walk in to this beautiful locale is great. It was full of people, had a great atmosphere and great music. We were invited to Kim Kardashians New Year’s Eve party at the Tao nightclub, and it was a blast. That said, the Tao nightclub inside the Venetian Hotel was one thing that did have us saying “wow” more than once. We had seen much on our Las Vegas trip and it was becoming harder and harder to be impressed with anything. 31 December 2010 Tags: Las Vegas, USA, Nightclub The Bill: £130 per head

Viscous liquid filling machines are typically more expensive than other types of filling equipment. Some of the main disadvantages include: High initial cost: This can help to improve the overall quality of the product and reduce defects.ĭespite these advantages, there are also some disadvantages to using viscous liquid filling machines. Viscous liquid filling machines are designed to fill containers with high accuracy and consistency. This can help to reduce labor costs and free up workers for other tasks. Viscous liquid filling machines are typically automatic, which means that they can be operated by a single person. This can help to increase the overall speed of the filling process and improve productivity. Viscous liquid filling machines are designed to fill containers quickly and efficiently. This allows for more accurate filling and reduces the amount of waste. Viscous liquid filling machines are typically equipped with electronic controls that ensure that the correct amount of liquid is dispensed into each container. Some of the main advantages of viscous liquid filling machines include: Improved accuracy: Viscous liquid filling machines have several advantages over other types of filling equipment. What are the advantages and disadvantages of viscous liquid filling machines? Pump filling machines are typically used for high-viscosity liquids and are capable of filling containers with very thick or sticky liquids. The nozzle is typically located inside the container, and the liquid is forced through it by a piston or other mechanism. These machines use a pump or tube to dispense viscous liquids into containers. Piston filling machines are typically used for medium- to high-viscosity liquids and are capable of filling containers with very thick or sticky liquids. The piston is driven by a motor or other power source, and it forces the liquid out of the machine and into the container. These machines use a piston or plunger to dispense viscous liquids into containers. Gravity filling machines are typically used for low-viscosity liquids and are not suitable for very thick or sticky liquids. The liquid is poured into the machine from a hopper or tank located above the filling area, and it flows into the container under the force of gravity. These machines use the force of gravity to dispense viscous liquids into containers. The most common types of viscous liquid filling machines are: Gravity filling machines: There are several different types of viscous liquid filling machines, each of which uses a different technology to fill containers with viscous liquids. What are the different types of viscous liquid filling machines? The filling process is typically controlled by a computer or other electronic system, which ensures that the correct amount of liquid is dispensed into each container. Then, the liquid is dispensed into the container, either by gravity or through a piston, nozzle, or tube. First, the container is placed in the filling area and aligned with the filling mechanism. Regardless of the technology used, the basic process of filling a container with a viscous liquid is the same. Other machines use a piston or plunger to dispense the liquid into the container, while others use a nozzle or tube to fill the container. Some machines use gravity filling, where the liquid is poured into the container from a hopper or tank located above the filling area. Viscous liquid filling machines use a variety of technologies to fill containers with viscous liquids. How do viscous liquid filling machines work?
