↳ notes: middle art by @no-interest-rightnow. warnings for topics relating to drug abuse

↳ playlist: puck/gorillaz playlist

basic info/pre-gorillaz.

• nicknamed puck. real name is unknown

• always seen wearing sunglasses of different sorts. doesn't matter what kind, just as long as their eyes are covered. no one's ever seen them

• no specifically stated gender, but it's implied that they are trans masculine. only ever referred to with gender nonspecific terms

• clothing style consists of a cross between layered t-shirts with ironic sayings on them (ex: world greatest grandparent) or baggy clothing with bright patterns. most are ratty & full of holes, but they never change their style

• not much is known about their background. a few documents accessible to the public lets you know puck was born in america before moving to the u.k when eighteen

• met 2D, then known as stuart pot, there through a job at uncle norman's organ emporium and a shared love of art. became good friends. didn't really care for paula cracker at the time, but mostly kept to themself anyways

• came to know murdoc almost a year later after the first infamous car incident. they didn't like him at first, in fact, they hated him, and only stuck around him to make sure he took proper care of 2D. actually broke the bassist's nose in a fight after he flung their friend out of a car, successfully blackening his second eye

• only reason they ever got roped into the gorillaz shtick was thanks to 2D, who refused to be a singer for murdoc unless puck was brought along. they couldn't sing, nor play any instruments, but they could write. and had a keen ear for music

• met russel and noodle through the band not long after, becoming much better mates with them than murdoc almost immediately

• has a drug problem. it's especially bad in their earlier years. dabbles in hardcore drugs & smokes way too much weed. they only ever try to hold out if noodle is around, attempting to be a semi-good role model for the kid. even get's on to 2D for being high when he's supposed to watch her

phase one — 'gorillaz' 24 years old, 2001

• not an official band member for the gorillaz. they don't play on tracks or anything. sort of just hangs around & gets their hands on lyrics or beats. no stage presence

• had their own space before the band. but after the debut album kicked off, they barely bothered to visit it. basically just lives wherever the band does at this point

• travels with them pretty much everywhere too. especially after the release of 'gorilla'. technically on payroll as a writer and as a roadie, but still sleeps in the same living space as the band. 2D has a little trouble getting shut eye in those first few months otherwise

• on the first album, puck is credited with writing lyrics for quite a few songs, but most noticeably 19-2000, clint eastwood, 5/4, as well as directing most of the music videos (skipped out on rock the house after hearing murdoc would be wearing a thong)

• fights with said bass player quite a lot during this time. normally over small things, but it's only ever amplified by him being drunk and puck high. russel usually steps in to physically separate the two in time

• puck doesn't care much for paparazzi. (that's an understatement. once they'd thrown a brick at a reporters camera to get them to back off), but they do participate in a few magazine/radio interviews as long as they've been planned ahead of time. because of this, puck's gone on public record stating their music inspiration comes mainly from the cure, pearl jam, de la soul, and other bands

• appears in a few self dubbed 'gorillaz-bitez' at the time; most noticeably 'game of death' in which they are seen happily betting against murdoc and winning

• not counting the few pictures still around and/or taken pre-gorillaz, this is when puck appears the most feminine or least masculine. as time progresses, subtle changes are added

phase two — 'demon days' 28 years old, 2005

• in between phase one and two after the band took a break, puck floats around the world doing odd jobs and buying way too many drugs (a downer when it comes to their addiction. doesn't care for stuff that's all high energy. prefers the mellow feeling weed & stuff like shrooms or xanax will bring)

• comes back to the band for a second album, but only after noodle reached out from an abandoned kong studios with the building blocks for a new album. puck automatically accepts her offer, and helps her refine some of the demon days songs before contacting anyone else

• most noticeably dedicates a lot of their time into el manana, o green world, white light, every planet we reach is dead, and dirty harry

• almost got fired by kong studios at one point for showing up to an anti-war protest where the public could see, but the entire band went to bat for them and ended up supporting the motivation behind dirty harry as a result

• this phase is when they form even closer with a young noodle. even manages to build an okay relationship with murdoc through demon days, to the point where puck wouldn't mind one bit if he needed to ask a favor of them—a huge step forward

• puck also got absolutely pumped when de la soul agreed to fly out and record their parts for feel good inc. just knew that noodles melody and their lyrics would make for an unforgettable song, and they were more than right

• is actually in the feel good inc. music video as an extra/cameo instead of just directing it, marking their first official onscreen debut as an unofficial member of gorillaz, even if they aren't in the band

• canonically slept with murdoc around phase two. neither of them were sober when it happened, and puck swears it was only to shut murdoc up. but everyone noticed the change in mood for the two of them the following weeks

• it does happen again, and this time the both of them are sober. puck will kill anyone if they ever attempt to bring that up

• during the mtv cribs episode done on gorillaz that murdoc helps the channel produce, puck can be seen passed out and drooling in a bedroom that clearly doesn't belong to any other band members, more or less confirming that they live full time with the band now

• their info card on screen reads, "nickname: puck. occupation: writer, director, friend of 2D's. fun fact: used to have a speech impediment," (which is how they got the name puck since fuck used to be their favorite word.) only wakes up to chase everyone out after murdoc leans to whisper something in their ear

• wasn't actually present during jimmy manson's audition and subsequential humiliation, so manson didn't really care about killing them as much in comparison to the rest of the band. however, right before the filming of the el manana music video, coincidentally right about the time manson works his way up in the music industry ranks, puck and him got into a huge fight over pulling/not pulling certain songs. they won in the end, and it angered him so much that he ended up plotting to kill them along with everyone else. but they're on the bottom of his list overall

• after el manana, puck copies the rest of the band and essentially drops off the face of the earth. with noodle presumed dead, it marks the beginning of a very dark time in their life

phase three — 'plastic beach' 33 years old, 2010

• puck draws in on themself a lot in the years between demon days and plastic beach. they end up going back to their hometown in america to lie low for a while, but it only launches them into the beginning of a long mental episode

• only makes one call during those long months in america, and it's just to let 2D know they went back to america in case he came looking for them. they hoped he wouldn't, and he didn't

• eventually the boogeyman finds and kidnapps them around the same time as 2D; both instances under murdoc's orders. the likes of which puck hadn't seem much less talked to since the bands last el manana recording

• he claims that he needs the both of them in order to make a new album

• plastic beach becomes puck's mental prison. unlike 2D, who is kept prisoner by a fear of both whales and now murdoc, they end up developing a crippling mentality that confines them only to the recording studio and their room

• puck's sunglasses reflect how they change as a person through each of the phases, and it really shows here. on the debut album, they had a simple knockoff pair. on demon days they were wore star shaped ones, but on plastic beach they have a singular pair held together with tape; the roughest they ever get. in later phases the quality of their sunglasses slowly become better until eventually puck's wearing a pair of shiny purple shades in song machine, signifying their official point of recovery

• they hate cyborg noodle. phase three will always be a little blurry to them, thanks to drugs & trauma responses, but they distinctly remember hating cyborg noodle and murdoc for creating her. it reminded puck too much of the real noodle; who at the time they assumed to be dead

• the climax of everything horrible happens two days before the anniversary of noodles 'death'. puck nearly died from an overdose. it was the lowest point in their life, and the only time 2D ever saw murdoc worried for someone other than himself during that phase

• they had really gotten into r.e.m then—so much so, that that's what was playing as they choked on their own vomit in a drug induced sleep—murdoc attempting to kick the door to their room down in the background as it happens

• gets all their drugs through snoop dog when he visits the island to record his bits for videos & songs. murdoc and cyborg noodle won't let them leave, so it's not like they can get their fix any other way

• actually wrote melancholy hill all by themself (with some post-editing from, 2D) during plastic beach. it's supposed to represent how alone they felt and how horrible their drug problems got on the island. it was the first song they ever wrote completely about themself or their experiences to get released under a lable

• also had a hand in stylo, empire ants, and super fast jellyfish, but between spending months curled up in their room pushing their body to the limit with drugs & trying to keep 2D from making the same mistakes, melancholy hill took up most of puck's time

• relies heavily on music and nothing else during this time; not even 2D, who they still feel bad about basically mentally abandoning during plastic beach

• the events of rhinestone eyes is a giant cacophony of mixed feelings for puck. seeing russel again and noodle alive while avoiding helicopters that are trying to kill them can really confused a mentally fucked guy. because that's what they were at that point. mentally fucked

• puck lost a lot during plastic beach. it will take them a long long time to ever forgive murdoc for this years spent at the pink island (specifically eight years later at the end of phase five when he finally gets out of jail), but they never forget

phase four — 'humanz' 40 years old, 2017

• this is officially the period in time where they finally attempt to get clean

• their drug habit was on and off during the seven year break in between plastic beach and humanz, but it was clear to anyone that knew them that they were trying their best to quit

• the long break between albums was the only reason puck came back for humanz. it gave them time to heal and pull themself out of the state they had been in. if they hadn't had that opportunity, puck isn't sure they would have returned to gorillaz at all

• they actually grow a little scruff around this phase as spotted by the tabloids, causing the public to start speculating about their gender again (something they've always had to deal with and hated)

• works on songs like busted and blue during this time. that actually was a scrapped song puck started on plastic beach, and only decided to bring it back and finish it for humanz. noodle helped them to refine it

• despite writing busted and blue, puck put the least amount of work and effort on the humanz album than any other. mostly because they were trying to get sober. still makes a guest appearance in the saturnz barz music video & collaborates with popcaan on his part of the song some

• starts going to rehab regularly! 2D even starts going with them in phase four as a show of support which really helps puck to pull through. 2D himself is still on painkillers, but noticeably less so than before

• the press and public attention makes recovery hard, but they manage to finally pull through by the end of humanz (sober six years as of 2024!)

• they do have an altercation with an obsessive old dealer of theirs once they get off drugs. the dealer liked being able to boast that she sold drugs to famous people, most of the time overcharging puck because she knew they could afford it, so she got really aggressive when her main means of funding dried up—to the point where she managed to track puck down and get ugly. if murdoc hadn't been there to help scare the ex-dealer off, puck was unsure what would have happened

• this was the beginning of the uptick in their relationship

phase five — 'the now now' 41 years old, 2018

• phase five is a huge change in pucks life for the better. it's the beginning of their happier years

• thinks it's because murdoc got sent to jail at first. but as time goes on and the pit in their chest continues to ache, they realize that's not it

• really puck's just happy because nothing fucking insane is going on with the band for once. no more missing eyes (than usual), no zombies or ghosts, and definitely no trash islands painted pink, stuff still gets strange of course, i.e a missing bassist and meetings with jack black and his saxophone, but that stuff is more to their liking

• has time to actually pick up old & new hobbies other than music and song writing. particularly gets really into reading and film analasis

• around this time is when the subject of murdoc becomes tricks for them, but for a different reason than usual

• puck thinks the '#freemurdoc' movement is pretty silly. doesn't really want him to stay there, but puck knows murdoc has been to jail enough to watch out for himself well enough

• none of that stops them from visiting the bass player in jail though. they find themself doing it once or twice instead of just calling, which was more than any of the other band members could say

• a long few years ago, puck used to (and sometimes still does) watch the powerpuff girls with noodle when she was younger, so the both of them were understandably psyched when ace accepted the offer to take murdoc's place in the next album. noodles a bit more excited, though, seeing as puck is still trying to come to terms with the fact that they liked and missed murdoc, so they were preoccupied by that

• ace makes a comment a few months in that he just naturally assumed that puck & his buddy were together, which naturally makes their face light up a bright red. gets to avoid eye contact thanks to their sunglasses

• that may have influenced how they wrote song lyrics with the now now; just like with 2D

• by the end of the now now, puck has gone from being behind the writing of a few background songs & main hits on albums to nearly every single song. they, along with some contributions and suggestions from the rest of the band, are the main reason lyrics are even added to the melodies at this point

• wrote tranz, which is their way of not-so-subtly writing about how it feels to be them in a bodily sense, which underlying tones of the rest of the bands influence on them as a person throughout the years

• can be seen stumbling around in the humility music video while attempting to roller skate with 2D, who had been attempting to teach them how to do so properly all week. eventually it just shows them giving up and laying down in the grass to watch the clouds go by

• after the album is released to the public, puck appears at their second ever award show, since all the way back in demon days in fact, when the album gets nominated for a category or two. even dresses up. at least by their definition, wearing a tie haphazardly over their normal clothes. it isn't even tied right—something russel laughs at

• that means they are there when the band is announced to have won the award. is very awkward on stage as noodle accepts the award, but thinks that murdoc's pre-recorded thank you message that is shown is really funny. fun fact, that exact moment at the award show where murdoc showed up on screen was when puck realized that they really did miss and like him—romantically

• even after he finally gets out of jail for real, puck spends the next five years refusing to let murdoc know about their feelings. much to everyone else's chagrin

phase six — 'song machine' 43 years old, 2020

• phase six was probably the first time in decades that puck ever truly felt happy

• working on the song machine was a way for them to finally leave plastic beach and all the memories associated with it behind. the lost chord was their was of saying good-bye, and 2D's way of finally forgiving murdoc for the same reasons

• song machine really was just puck having fun and not worrying about anything for the first time in a while. they're sober, have a good (bordering on romantic) relationship with murdoc, and are even making more public appearances with the band for the first time in a while. still hates the paparazzi, though they do apologize for the brick incident on record around this time

• is actually able to stop using nicotine gum & patches to curb their need for cigarettes here. (they quit smoking cigs along with everything else when they got clean in humanz. complete cold turkey)

• still keeps in contact with ace at this point even though he's gone and murdoc is back in the band

• is absolutely just chilling the entire time. is in all the music videos shown having the time of their life after his most recent years, only really stepping out of their little bubble of happiness to help with some minor incidents (the pink ghost dilemma, sinkhole problems, etc.)

• probably helps murdoc build his little anti-negative energy hide out, and definitely feels a little bad about leaving the man behind during the desole music video

• when they go into space with everyone else in the winnebago, their spacesuit is purple and has crude graffiti like drawings all over it—curtesy of the whole band

• not a lot happens lore wise to puck during this phase, and that's perfectly all right with them. they're finally completely sober and getting to hang out with the people they care about the most. what else could they want?

phase seven — 'cracker island' 46 years old, 2023

• isn't sure how to feel about packing up and moving to l.a with the band at first since a lot of people from their clouded past are more likely to pop up in america, but they do anyway

• phase seven marks the beginning of murdoc and puck's actual relationship. it took puck a long time to come around to the fact that they actually liked him, flaws and all, but they had begun to realize that they aren't as young as they used to be, and that it's better to be truthful to their feelings and themself instead of hiding away. they already made that mistake once

• the media really starts to become a part of their life more than ever here. it has to do with speculation about murdoc and puck dating sure, but also with the introduction of moonflower and her cult. (puck finds her quite charming and enchanting, which makes murdoc incredibly grumpy. they change their tune about her once 2D is brainwashed, though)

• credited with writing new gold, oil, tarantula, baby queen, and pretty much every other song there is on the album. helps 2D with cracker island some too, but that was mainly him

• baby queen is actually a little about watching noodle grow up into who she is today. puck's always had a good bond with noodle ever since demon days, so baby queen is a very emotional song to them

• thinks the whole thing about 'murdoc's essence' is absolutely hilarious. it gives them a good laugh anytime they think about it. also, they won't admit it, but they find murdoc a little attractive in his cult robes

• gets really pissed when they finally figure out what's been going on with moonflower's cult and 2D. that's puck's best friend and literally the only person that's stuck with them through everything, so they are gonna fight to get him back. even if it's against an immortal cult

• in the silent running music video, which including cracker island is less of a music video and more of a retelling of that night, puck's sunglasses come off for the first time. ever.

• only murdoc sees it as he happens to be standing right across from them when it happens. the sight of it nearly breaks his concentration, and puck doesn't even realize they've fallen off until 2D is back to safety. they were that upset

• it's a big deal to murdoc about the glasses considering that puck has never let anyone see his eyes uncovered. not 2D, not noodle, not russel, and not even him during literal sex. they always kept their shades on or their eyes closed

• puck gets arrested with everyone, but murdoc of course, and ends up in the cracker island music video trying to start a fight with the police while noodle attempts to de-escalate the situation and calm them down

• when murdoc finally shows up at the hospital, he shares a soft kiss with a relieved puck off screen, publicly announcing their relationship and grabbing everyone's attention momentarily. the kiss calms puck down and marks the end of another era, leaving the band to go back to the l.a house and finally bring 2D with them once again

Passenger to Freighter Market Size by Global Major Companies Profile and Key Regions by 2029

The global passenger to freighter market size was valued at USD 2.14 billion in 2021. The market is projected to grow from USD 2.52 billion in 2022 to USD 5.19 billion by 2029, exhibiting a CAGR of 10.84% during the forecast period. This information is presented by Fortune Business Insights, in its report titled, “Passenger to Freighter Market, 2022-2029.” The report offers valuable insights obtained by thorough study done by our researchers. An extensive research was conducted to provide the estimated size of the market. The data used to project the shares for multiple segments at the country, regional, and global levels is obtained from in-depth interviews with numerous stakeholders.

Information Source :

Drivers and Restraints:

Rise in Aircraft Conversion Facilities Infrastructure by Key Players due to Increased Demand for Conversion Slots to Boost Market Growth

Due to the growing market for P2F conversion, major industry participants are concentrating on converting standard and smaller narrow body aircraft. These aircraft will be brand-new to the conversion industry, necessitating the construction of a brand-new conversion facility.

Embraer secured its first official deal in June 2022 with an unknown customer to convert 10 E-jets into freighters. The freighter's deliveries are anticipated to start in 2024. The main deck front door will be modified, the cabin door will be strengthened, the smoke detection system will be adjusted, and the interior air management system will undergo changes. This conversion is anticipated to take place at the manufacturer's facility in Brazil. This is expected to boost the passenger to freighter market growth.

Segments:

Refurbished Segment Dominated the Market in 2021 Owing to High Investment to Expand Conversion Capabilities by Key Players

By build type, the market is bifurcated into new build and refurbished. The refurbished segment dominated the market in 2021.

Narrow Body to Grow at Highest CAGR Due to the Wide Usage in E-Commerce During the Forecast Period

Based on aircraft model, the market is segmented into narrow body, wide body, and regional jets. The narrow body segment is expected to become dominant in the market due to its wide range of applications in the e-commerce sector.

Slot/Retro Fitment Segment to Grow at Highest CAGR Due to Rise in Demand from MRO Service Providers During the Forecast Period

Based on fitment, the market is segmented into slot/retro fitment and line fitment. The slot/retro fitment segment is expected to become dominant in the market due to increase in focus by MRO providers to enter into the freighter market.

By region, the market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and the rest of the world.

List of Key Players Mentioned in the Report:

AerCap (Ireland)

Aeronautical Engineers, Inc. (U.S.)

Airbus SE (Netherlands)

Boeing Company (U.S.)

Bombardier, Inc. (Canada)

Elbe Flugzeugwerke GmbH (Germany)

Embraer SA (Brazil)

HAECO Group (Hong Kong)

Other key players.

Regional Insights:

North America to Lead Backed by Extraordinary Rise in E-Commerce

During the projected period, the freighter conversion market is expected to grow significantly in North America. Demand for domestic flights surged significantly in 2020 and 2021 as a result of the extraordinary rise in e-commerce brought on by lack of consumer mobility and a significant infusion of government stimulus.

It is anticipated that the European market would expand significantly during the projection period. Europe, which includes nations, such as the U.K., Germany, and France, has the second-largest passenger to freighter market share.

Throughout the forecast period, Asia Pacific is anticipated to display the most dominance in the market. Due to the growth of international trade, increase in air cargo activities, and other factors, the Asia Pacific region should be the market for passenger to freighters.

Competitive Landscape:

Important Business-related Announcements by Key Players to Influence Market Dynamics

Fundamental passenger to freighter companies often make crucial announcements regarding some business moves, which, in turn, affect the market either positively or negatively. Players acquire companies, launch products, engage in partnership deals, sign contracts with government organizations, and so on.

Key Industry Development:

February 2022: Boeing and ST Engineering declared that they are planning to produce a novel 767-300 Boeing Converted Freighter (BCF) line at the facility in Guangzhou.

Owing to the growing construction industry and advancement in sound reduction techniques coupled with the health and environmental concerns, the soundproof curtains market is anticipated to record a significant CAGR over the forecast period, i.e., 2020-2028. The market is segmented by material into glass wool, rock wool, fiber glass, natural fabrics and plastic foam, out of which, the segment for glass wool is anticipated to hold the largest share in the soundproof curtains market.

Beechwood Park

pairing: 60′s au (Richard Madden x oc!poc!fem!Reader)

summary: In the late 60′s Cynthia was struggling model who’d just about reached her wits end and succumb to her parents wishes for her to continue her studies. Mr. Madden would say otherwise though.

warnings: age gap, smut, cursing, 18 + material

Series Masterlist

A/N: I think I hit the jackpot with this (fingers crossed though)

Actress inspo for the character is Judy Pace, she was well known in the 60s.

1. Humble Beginnings and Pink Ribbons

In 1965 Cynthia Ridge was an academic miracle sent from the heavens above to her family. A true prodigy of the finer things in life, she’d learned french, could read latin, and played piano as her pass times. Where her parents assumed this would grant her open doors to the thing they could never have themselves.

Little did they know that what she really wanted was a break. Her friends were going to parties and dating boys while she sat at home writing honor roll essays. However, her birthday arrived in early November. With it came a moment of fate or pure luck. She was out shopping with her cousin when the woman who would become her first agent/manager came across her.

Ingrid Beaumont was a french woman who’d made her living working for modeling agencies in Europe. One look at Cynthia and she knew there was the muse for the upcoming year’s fashion trends. It took a lot of pleading and negotiating with the teenager’s parents. At the end of it all though, she’d gotten herself a star client.

The first months were interesting, there was difficulty in the states. Getting her photo shoots was a nightmare, and Cynthia blamed the thinking of most people on it, but in the U.K.? Well it was different there, very different. When she did book a shoot in America, the copies were sent to a sister agency in London. By then she began to shoot ad campaigns for catalogs in the U.K.

At home tensions grew though. Her parents despised the french agent and what she’d made of their academically prized daughter. They fought constantly, so much so that by the end of the year she’d had enough. Cynthia knew deep down it was wrong, perhaps maybe even too far, but she couldn’t risk losing what made her feel happy. With the help of Mrs. Beaumont she was able to enroll at a college in England.

Her parents would be under the impression that their daughter would be receiving a well rounded education and degree in the foreign nation. The truth could not be further from that assumption however. Instead she went to school for two semesters, meeting her closest friend Stella Darwin, with whom she moved in with after dropping out.

Cynthia’s modeling paychecks helped ease some worries at the start. It seemed that things were great for the two girls in London. Stella had graduated and worked at a high end boutique in Soho. So much for being a writer, nevertheless she hoped with the money she saved she would be able to make it happen in a couple of years.

It was a whirlwind for two years. Countless parties and events, meeting people over drinks. There was so much traveling too. Of course it was all courtesy of the famed Cynthia and her modeling career which gave them everything. The menagerie was lavish, it was everything any of the two could have hoped for.

Neither one of them could have expected what would come though. How the agency would close down and leave the young American girl empty handed. Or Stella’s lavish Soho flat being taken from her through an eviction notice. Nevertheless, the girls persisted and finally came the breakthrough. After months of sleuthing she had found an agency looking for talent and she wouldn’t let the chance pass up. Without a hesitation she made a meeting with the head of the agency.

She’d been countless catalogs and even had the pleasure of meeting Princess Anne once. Yet not even the royals could save her now. It was early summer and the small flat she shared with Stella was beginning to become a stuffy chaotic mess of dresses and empty bottles of liquor. Stella was bent over the windowsill smoking her midday cigarette, “maybe going back home to Maryland wouldn’t be so bad love,” of course Cynthia gasped at the very thought. She looked at herself one final time in the mirror, “Maryland is a place I hope I never see again. Stella, darling, wish me luck. I have a good feeling about this interview today.” Her friend giggled a bit and kissed her cheek before she headed out to the spectacle that was the busy London streets.

The building was right in the heart of the city, small and disclosed. Inside was front desk and a small hallway. A blonde secretary typed away on her typewriter, “morning. Can I help you darling?” She spoke kindly, Cynthia nodded explaining she had a meeting with Mr. Egerton.

Inside his office Mr. Egerton was having his lunch break with an old friend. The two men cracked on about some event they’d both attended the previous weekend, “it was an absolute snooze fest. The guest list must have been mixed up with an elderly home’s check in sheet.” His friend, Richard, continued to joke. They reached a moment of quiet and that’s when his phone rang, he’d forgotten about the meeting with a potential new client.

Richard could see the expressions on his friend’s face changing as he hung up his office phone. An intrigued look on his face formed as his friend began to clean the lunch off of his desk, “you’re in a hurry to clean aren’t ya? Is she a client or a tango dancer?” He looked at Richard with an upset face, “oh come on Taron I’m only joking. With a sigh he finished cleaning up the small mess and fixed his tie, “this girl is a potential client with connections to the royals if you could believe it.” Now this was interesting, “really? A model who’s friends with the royals, is she the daughter of a lord?” Taron lit a cigarette before answering his friend.

He picked up the phone and got his secretary on the line, “tell her I’m ready please Holly,” as quickly as he spoke he hung up. Richard was still waiting for an answer, “soo...lord?” Taking a drag and a puff Taron answered, “actually. She’s American if you could believe it.” He had to see who this girl was, “mind if I stay and meet her?” A knock came from his door, “you might have no choice but to. Come in,” and there she was. In a pink mini dress and a smile that could make any man weak at the knees, Richard had already fallen for this girl and he didn’t even know her.

Vape Road

Our degree of administration is unparalleled without the market and our vaping specialists are available to help you locate the ideal Vape Road, starter units, and all the more so you can genuinely make the most of your vaping experience.

The secret and concern remain. Furthermore, numerous smokers who utilize these gadgets to stop are worried that a significant Vape Road might be detracted from them.

There's considerably more that analysts need to know. These gadgets have a short history. As a Vape Road who concentrates how individuals use tobacco items, I accept that clients' conduct is critical to understanding the positive and negative wellbeing impacts coming about because of e-cigarettes. All things considered, their purpose was to help individuals quit smoking, the main source of preventable demise in the U.K.

The manner in which clients puff, how long they puff and what they puff all assume a job. We don't yet have the foggiest idea how this conduct influences the amount of every substance vapers burn-through throughout the span of their day by day lives, however we have motivation to trust it is huge.

Many are doubtful that e-cigarettes will lessen demise rates identified with smoking. Verifiably more secure cigarettes have not conveyed on a comparable guarantee. After the U.S. top health spokesperson pronounced smoking unsafe in 1964, smokers who couldn't stop moved to what exactly were then viewed as low-yield cigarettes, showcased as more secure and having less tar than standard cigarettes.

However, the wide utilization of low-yield cigarettes didn't bring down death rates for smokers. Instances of squamous cell cellular breakdown in the lungs did diminish after the top health spokesperson's admonition, yet another sort, adenocarcinoma, expanded.

Designing models recommend that adjustments in smoke qualities joined with smokers' remunerating practices changed where the particles kept in the lung assumed a job. Smokers may have burned-through more smoke to keep up their fixation. Distinctive malignant growth types start in various lung areas. The contemplation is that smokers changed their conduct, and in doing as such, may have exchanged one kind of malignancy for another.

MOIST SNUFF MARKET ANALYSIS (2020-2027)

Moist snuff is a type of smokeless tobacco that can be consumed orally, offered in different forms such as portion snuff and loose snuff. Moist snuff contains carcinogenic substances and the addictive substance nicotine like other tobacco products. Moist snuff is a less harmful alternative of smoking, as consumption of snuff does not harm the lungs like conventional tobacco smoking.

Market Dynamics:

While the global cigarette consumption is declining, consumption of smokeless tobacco is rising across the globe. The rising consumption of moist snuff is expected to boost growth of the market during the forecast period. For instance, according to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, over 3.5% adults in the U.S. and around 4.8% of high school students consumed smokeless tobacco in 2019 in the U.S. Also, sales of moist snuff increased by 65.6% between 2005 and 2011 in the U.S. The above-mentioned factors are contributing to growth of the market.

Rising number of cancer patients globally restricts growth of the moist snuff market, as it contains 24 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) that causes oral and pancreatic cancers. The use of smokeless tobacco increases the risk of death after myocardial infarction. For instance, in September 2018, the World Health Organization suggested that cancer is among the top cause of death, globally. It is estimated that over 9.6 million patients died due to cancer in 2018. World Health Organization also suggested that tobacco use is the most important risk factor for cancer and is responsible for approximately 22% of cancer deaths across the globe. Moreover, higher risk of mounting diabetes associated with snuff consumption also hinders growth of the market.

Market Outlook:

On the basis of product type, the market is segmented as mint flavor, fruit flavor and others. Moist snuff is expected to grow at a significant rate during the forecast period, owing to lower levels of free nicotine and pH. Moreover, flavored products increase demand for moist snuff among young and new tobacco users. The candy-like sweeter milder flavors i.e. fruit and mint could increase appeal to the consumers by offering mild flavor and eliminating nasty mouth feel.

Major moist snuff manufacturers are focusing on strategies such as product launches, and mergers & acquisitions, along with partnerships to expand their product portfolio and consumer base in new geographies. For instance, in May 2019, The CTRP launched four new smokeless tobacco products in the market in the U.S. The new tobacco products are developed under a US$ 7.4 million, five-year cooperative agreement with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Moreover, in April 2016, Swedish match AB, that develops, manufactures, and sells tobacco products created new visual identity for one of its most recognizable brand, Longhorn Moist snuff. The new logo is designed to enhance shelf prominence, strengthen brand image, and enhance shelf performance.

Exxon was aware of climate change, as early as 1977, 11 years before it became a public issue, according to a recent investigation from InsideClimate News. This knowledge did not prevent the company (now ExxonMobil and the world’s largest oil and gas company) from spending decades refusing to publicly acknowledge climate change and even promoting climate misinformation—an approach many have likened to the lies spread by the tobacco industry regarding the health risks of smoking. Both industries were conscious that their products wouldn’t stay profitable once the world understood the risks, so much so that they used the same consultants to develop strategies on how to communicate with the public.

Experts, however, aren’t terribly surprised. “It’s never been remotely plausible that they did not understand the science,” says Naomi Oreskes, a history of science professor at Harvard University. But as it turns out, Exxon didn’t just understand the science, the company actively engaged with it. In the 1970s and 1980s it employed top scientists to look into the issue and launched its own ambitious research program that empirically sampled carbon dioxide and built rigorous climate models. Exxon even spent more than $1 million on a tanker project that would tackle how much CO2 is absorbed by the oceans. It was one of the biggest scientific questions of the time, meaning that Exxon was truly conducting unprecedented research.

In their eight-month-long investigation, reporters at InsideClimate News interviewed former Exxon employees, scientists and federal officials and analyzed hundreds of pages of internal documents. They found that the company’s knowledge of climate change dates back to July 1977, when its senior scientist James Black delivered a sobering message on the topic. “In the first place, there is general scientific agreement that the most likely manner in which mankind is influencing the global climate is through carbon dioxide release from the burning of fossil fuels," Black told Exxon’s management committee.

A year later he warned Exxon that doubling CO2 gases in the atmosphere would increase average global temperatures by two or three degrees—a number that is consistent with the scientific consensus today. He continued to warn that “present thinking holds that man has a time window of five to 10 years before the need for hard decisions regarding changes in energy strategies might become critical." In other words, Exxon needed to act.

One thing is certain: in June 1988, when NASA scientist James Hansen told a congressional hearing that the planet was already warming, Exxon remained publicly convinced that the science was still controversial. Furthermore, experts agree that Exxon became a leader in campaigns of confusion. By 1989 the company had helped create the Global Climate Coalition (disbanded in 2002) to question the scientific basis for concern about climate change. It also helped to prevent the U.S. from signing the international treaty on climate known as the Kyoto Protocol in 1998 to control greenhouse gases. Exxon’s tactic not only worked on the U.S. but also stopped other countries, such as China and India, from signing the treaty. At that point, “a lot of things unraveled,” Oreskes says.

To prove this, Bob Ward—who on behalf of the U.K.’s Royal Academy sent a letter to Exxon in 2006 claiming its science was “inaccurate and misleading”—thinks a thorough investigation is necessary. “Because frankly the episode with tobacco was probably the most disgraceful episode one could ever imagine,” Ward says. Kimmell agrees. These reasons “really highlight the responsibility that these companies have to come clean, acknowledge this, and work with everyone else to cut out emissions and pay for some of the cost we're going to bear as soon as possible.”

All you have to do is look at those crazy hens who keep opening accounts on IG and Twitter all the time. There are 1-2 crazy chickens who are constantly harassing Valery and Jared. they always write the same stupid things. JL and Val are getting married, the kid’s coming ….. LMFAO!

firesofares @clouds.are.mine I ask cause I follow a few accounts that are very diligent about finding photos of the two of them, and I’ve never seen such a picture. I didn’t even think she was anywhere near the set, the first time she was even on people’s radar was in New York City during her birthday and Jay was on break firesofares @clouds.are.mine lol, you know what that wouldn’t surprise me at all if she did that, considering out of the two of them, she is only one who really shows an ounce of attention to Val’s account. I bet she saw the pick and asked Jay if it was cool if she hit that like button for the sake of getting Val some attention on her insta. Seeing as how those two are such great girlfriends doubled_echelon @clouds.are.mine I’m not going to name her it’s not my place too

doubled_echelon @firesofares spot on. She doesn’t want people to know he has an amazing girlfriend as that means less attention for her… Yeah exactly no-one except the Jalery Shippers care. The echelon know Jared doesn’t want to be with her…

isabelgothechelon @lafayettebitch6 because this Hollywood industry Cameron don’t need Jared leto to be famous lol 😉 doubled_echelon @cindylaryy no I didn’t think so because it didn’t happen… 🤦🏼‍♀️Jared and Valery are not together…. He would never ever ever marry her… He has a girlfriend (A fricking awesome one at that)

firesofares @athenanike91 true dat….and this whole Val and Jared thing, I don’t understand why some people can’t grasp the simple concept that they are just friends, have been just friends, and this whole relationship thing that started in 2015 was more than likely just another PR stunt

Corporate Wellness Market Is Expected To Reach New Height Of $93.4 Billion By 2028

The global corporate wellness market size is expected to reach USD 93.4 billion by 2028, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 7.0% from 2021 to 2028. Rising obese and overweight population increases insurance costs that account for the financial burden on the employers. The corporate wellness initiatives target particular health risk factors such as stress, obesity, smoking, poor eating, and lack of exercise.

The pandemic has caused a change in the process of delivering wellness services. Although in-person sessions have resumed to some extent, the virtual platform has been made available to at-risk employees to meet their psychological and fitness needs. Initially, the lockdown imposed due to COVID19 resulted in transition to work from home, causing a great deal of stress.

Employers have started offering some kind of fitness program for the purpose of disease prevention and improve productivity. According to a study conducted by Harvard economists, absenteeism costs fall by USD 2.7 for every dollar spent on fitness programs. Therefore, employees need to be encouraged to adopt a healthier lifestyle to improve their performance.

Employers providing the programs have noticed a significant rise in productivity and a decline in leaves and attrition. In addition, companies in the U.K. initiated the Fit for Work service, which offers a tax benefit of USD 663.3 per year. Organizations are providing wearables, such as Fitbit, Apple watch, and Google watches, which helps in keeping track of parameters such as heart rate and blood pressure.
