![]() By comparison, front loaders have a massive 12-cubic-yard hopper plus a 28 to 32-cubic-yard body. Simple math: more load capacity means fewer trips to the landfill! On average, ASLs have a capacity of a little over 30 cubic yards. Collecting clean material is a major cost avoidance and mitigates the risk of culling, handling, and disposing of contamination. Curotto-Can users enjoy contamination rates as low a 4% while communities using ASLs suffer 25% contamination. Identifying and safely removing contamination while recording violations ensures clean waste streams. You can stop contamination in any stream at its source – the curb. The Curotto-Can is the only automated system that allows the driver to see material before it’s packed. These inherent safety benefits combined with fewer backing events make a front loader equipped with a Curotto-Can THE choice for automation. Eyes-Forward collection improves driver awareness and focus, reducing the chance of personal property damage (mailboxes etc) and general public injury due to driver error. Drivers aren’t required to “rubberneck” 1,000 times a day, in contrast to ASLs, drastically reducing Repetitive Stress Injury risk. The Curotto-Can is the only automated system that provides an “Eyes-Forward” working environment and results in improved operator and public safety. Better maneuverability means fewer backing events resulting in improved productivity and enhanced safety. This unique feature enables the Curotto-Can to easily move around parked cars and cul-de-sacs – up to 20% faster in an independent comparison. GREATER MANEUVERABILITYīecause the arm is forward of the cab and steer axle it behaves like a boom. Costs from cart damage with the Curotto-Can automated carry can will go to near zero. The unique gripper design ensures no metal contacts the cart while gently applying pressure to the cart body, resulting in extended cart life. This means fewer damaged lids, wheels, and axles. The Curotto-Can dumps carts much lower and with a much smoother action than ASLs. If a cart drops into the container hopper, the operator can simply and safely remove it. The Curotto-Can automated carry can never packs carts. Cart loss and damage are accepted as the cost of doing business with automation. REDUCE CART COSTS (from loss or damage)Ĭonsider what you spend on carts. Less packing and idling = lower fuel consumption (up to 20% lower in an independent comparison). The Curotto-Can system packs once per hopper dump. ASLs continuously pack, putting the engine under load during the entire route. The example above illustrates the idling advantage of the Curotto-Can. THE CUROTTO-CAN IS THE PRODUCTIVITY LEADER

Many posts have been compiled around AdWords Editor, however, with constant updates and changes, we thought a refresher was in order. It doesn't fundamentally change our understanding of Trump and his relationship to Russia. MARTÍNEZ: But, David, why does all this matter?įOLKENFLIK: Let's be clear. The Steele report drove a lot of coverage, and I don't think you've seen news organizations sufficiently wrestle with that. All of which plays into Trump's claims that the press was out to get him. But let's be fair, this network also invited on lawmakers and others who invoked its themes. MSNBC and CNN gave a ton of airtime to former intelligence officials they had hired as pundits who gave it credence while NPR stayed away from specifics because it couldn't verify them. Think of McClatchy, which - the owner of the Miami Herald, The Kansas City Star and other major metro newspapers, that news organization hasn't retracted two separate stories claiming Trump's lawyer, Michael Cohen, met with Kremlin agents in Prague. He said it was in the public's interest to know what federal officials were worried about, even while noting that its allegations hadn't been verified. In January 2017, then-BuzzFeed editor-in-chief Ben Smith posted the entire document. In 2016, the question of the Steele dossier was bouncing around journalistic and national security circles. What are some of the others?įOLKENFLIK: Well, look, there are examples of specific stories, and then there's just the sheer volume of it. MARTÍNEZ: And that's far from the only example of flawed reporting, David. And The Post's new executive editor, Sally Buzbee, acknowledges it contradicts some of the previous reports. The Post, ABC News and The Journal are revisiting those past stories. Federal prosecutors now say that Danchenko never spoke to that Russian figure and that he also relied on a PR consultant with ties to the Clintons who was spreading gossip. Each identified a Russian business figure with ties to Trump as the main source for Danchenko, seemingly giving the dossier greater credibility. What does this mean for news stories that relied on his claims?įOLKENFLIK: Well, The Wall Street Journal, ABC News and The Washington Post had explicitly based some reporting on Danchenko's claims in the dossier. MARTÍNEZ: Now, the Justice Department has charged that key source for the dossier, Russian analyst Igor Danchenko, with lying the FBI. ![]() They looked shaky as time moved forward and have since been discredited, yet they echoed for several years. And a lot of the specific accusations in the dossier were even denied at the time. This dossier was misused by FBI agents to surveil a U.S. The dossier alleged the Trump campaign was also conspiring with Russia in the 2016 election to damage Hillary Clinton. And it claimed that Russia had cultivated Trump as a target for years and that the Russians were likely blackmailing him. It was put together by a former British intelligence official for a consulting firm hired by Democrats. ![]() So the dossier included a lot of accusations about Trump, a lot of salacious accusations about Trump's sex life. David, remind us about the dossier and the role it played in the 2016 race.ĭAVID FOLKENFLIK, BYLINE: Right. NPR media correspondent David Folkenflik joins us now to talk about this. ![]() It follows the indictment of a key source for the Steele dossier, the infamous opposition research into possible links between Trump and Russia. ![]() Those natural gas sales are important to funding Russia’s war machine.Some of the nation's leading news organizations are revisiting coverage of allegations against candidate and then President Donald Trump. The Nord Stream pipelines are important economic and political chips for Russia, linking the nation’s natural gas supplies to energy markets in Western Europe via the Baltic Sea. The Post obtained it from an online friend of Jack Teixiera, the Air National Guardsman who was arrested in April for allegedly leaking classified government documents on the chat platform Discord. The Washington Post reported on Tuesday that the United States had intelligence ahead of the attack that the Ukrainian military, working under the direction of the nation’s highest military officer, planned a covert, underwater attack on the pipelines. The CIA reportedly obtained the intelligence from an unnamed European ally. But new information from the Discord leaks has provided what could be an important clue. Since Russia’s Nord Stream pipelines exploded last year amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the question of who was behind the attack has largely been a mystery. ![]() We use our back muscles almost constantly during sitting and standing, while walking and particularly while lifting.

One of the most severe possibilities for right side back pain is appendicitis. (It is possible that pain stems from both.) Appendicitis Try to decide which quadrant the pain might be coming from. ![]() The two abdominal regions on the right-hand side of the back are broken into the “upper right quadrant” and “lower right quadrant”. By identifying from which side of your back the pain comes, you can get a good start on figuring out what is causing it. Because many of our vital organs are clustered in the abdominal region, lower back pain can be a sign of something much more serious. Unfortunately, back pain is not always just muscular soreness. Mid back pain on the right side is very common. Especially, affected because we use them so often and exercise them so little. With aging comes a general loss of muscle and our core muscles. Many adults experience it from time to time inexplicable back pain. ![]() ![]() In the 1814 season, Anthony decided he would take a wife and initially set his sights on Edwina Sheffield, who was named the “Diamond of the First Water” for her beauty.Edmund Bridgerton tragically died when Anthony was only 18 years old, which meant Anthony became the Viscount at a very young age.He’s also the main character in the second book in the Bridgerton series, The Viscount Who Loved Me.

The difference between interchange and its flat rate is Square’s markup.Ĭompanies that offer this type of pricing are not actually “true” processors. The interchange rate assigned to an individual credit card transaction varies from 0.05% to 3.17% depending on several variables such as card type, card brand, processing method, settlement time, and more.Ī processor that offers its clients flat rate credit card processing still has to pay interchange and assessments it just does so behind the scenes without its clients knowing.įor example, Square famously charged its customers a flat rate of 2.75% for swiped and 3.50% for keyed transactions that only cost it about 1.40% and 1.95% on average. Assessments remain fairly consistent across different types of transactions, but interchange rates fluctuate over about 280 different categories. Interchange fees and assessments are fixed costs that remain the same regardless of which credit card processing company a business uses. And it pays a fee to a credit card processor as a markup. It pays a fee to the card brand (Visa, Mastercard, or Discover) whose logo is on the customer’s card, called an assessment. It pays a fee to the bank that issued the customer’s card, called an interchange fee. The fundamentals of credit card processing make it virtually impossible for a processor to charge a competitive flat rate and remain profitable.Įach time a business processes a credit card transaction, it is actually paying three separate fees. ![]() Read about Subscription Flat Rate Pricing. Note that this is different than subscription flat rate pricing, where the costs of interchange are still visible to the business. Some flat rate models also include a per-transaction fee, often in the range of 10 – 30 cents per transaction. Common flat rates are currently around 2.75% – 2.9% for swiped transactions.

![]() Meanwhile, Persephone was down in the Underworld with Hades, married to become the Queen of the Dead and eating the six infamous pomegranate seeds. She then made the earth barren (as Demeter is the goddess of the harvest) and the land grew dark and cold while the crops died. ![]() She searched the earth for her daughter and came up empty handed, she found out what Zeus had done. One day, Persephone was in a meadow picking narcissus flowers, when the earth quite literally opened up and Hades came through to kidnap her.Īccording to many myths, Zeus actually made a bargain with his brother Hades and coordinated this kidnapping.ĭemeter, Persephone’s mother, was devastated. ![]() However, in Persephone’s teenage years, things changed. She played with her siblings (Athena and Aphrodite) and was beloved by her mother. Persephone lived a happy, idyllic childhood according to most myths. In Greek mythology, Persephone was the daughter of Demeter, the goddess of grain and fertility, and Zeus, conceived before Zeus married Hera. The Goddess Persephone In History & Myth:īefore we dive into the more detailed stuff on Persephone, I’ll give a brief overview of the myth that casts her as a main character so you know exactly who she is. Many of us today struggle with similar issues as Persephone, which I hope will become clear to you as you read this post. I personally feel that Persephone is hugely popular for a reason! In many ways, her story is a metaphor that applies to us in so many different ways. Many of us are actually entranced by the story. The Ancient Greeks feared the darkness of the Underworld, so they mostly stayed away from Hades and Persephone. If Persephone was worshiped, it was only because springtime comes when she is returned to her mother. It’s funny, because in Ancient Greece, Hades and Persephone were rarely worshipped. However, she really is a marvel all on her own. The goddess Persephone is ultra popular today, mainly because of her love story (or abduction story, depending on the telling) with Hades. Whether you believe in the Greek gods and goddesses or simply pull inspiration from the stories, you can definitely learn a lot from Persephone. It’s about love, it’s about death, and it’s also about what happens when we are out of balance with who we really are. Her story is a timeless tale that has been retold many times over. Persephone is one of the most important goddesses in ancient Greco-Roman mythology. ![]() You can unsubscribe at any time via the link in any email we send you.
