All the while you can take a break and relax as the E9 Pro is not only optimized for a fun ride but also for parental supervision. With its eye-candy design, it is a no-brainer as a gift for your child or a loved one. Some of the highlights of the E9 Pro are:

It has its own bag of features as well that make it stand apart in the market.

• Extreme smoothness: It features 8'' PU wheels with a sophisticated bearing (ABEC-9) design to ensure a smooth and easy ride that allows longer range with less effort.

The design is for all ages - kids, teens, and adults. And it just needs one step for folding.The S8 is a unique offering that is trendy for youngsters in the prime of their lives.

‍

In addition to the E9 Pro and SA8, Smoosat is planning to launch two adult electric scooters in August that are targeted toward high school and college students.

MindSite News, a nonprofit digital news publication that reports on mental health, has hired investigative reporter Josh McGhee to cover the intersection of criminal justice and mental health.

‍

MindSite News launched in September 2021 as the only news site focused solely on mental health reporting. Its writers and editors are veteran journalists who have written for dozens of publications and won numerous awards.

‍

"We are thrilled to bring Josh McGhee on board to cover the mental health and criminal justice systems," said Rob Waters, founding editor of MindSite News. "He will apply his experience in data reporting to dig into the ways these systems are failing people whose principal crime is having a mental illness."

‍

In addition to investigative and enterprise stories, McGhee will write a regular newsletter and help MindSite News deepen collaborations with USA Today, Solutions Journalism Network, Yahoo News and other outlets.

‍

McGhee grew up in Chicago's Tinley Park and has worked at the Chicago Reporter, DNAinfo and Injustice Watch, writing data-driven stories on courts, policing, public defense and discriminatory sentencing. He is secretary of the Chicago chapter of the National Association of Black Journalists and a Peter Lisagor Award winner for Best Feature Series in 2016. He also served as writer and producer of "Exodus," a series on Black migration to and from Chicago.

‍

MindSite News covers America's mental health crisis – exposing problems, combating disinformation, and highlighting solutions – and is a key source of mental health information for policymakers, researchers, providers and mental health advocates. It was conceived by Waters, a veteran journalist, and cofounded by science journalist Diana Hembree and Tom Insel, psychiatrist, former director of the National Institute for Mental Health, and author of Healing: Our Path from Mental Illness to Mental Health.

The Northeast's custom kitchen remodeling company, Kitchen Magic, outlines the combinations homeowners are choosing and the many reasons why a customized hybrid kitchen is the perfect solution for their next home remodeling project.

‍

Today hybrids are everywhere, from hybrid automobiles, trucks, and bicycles, to plants, puppies, people, and sports. Indeed, hybrids combine the best of two or three elements.

Top Reasons Why a Hybrid Kitchen Makes Perfect Design Sense

Essentially a hybrid kitchen is a design plan that combines both refacing and custom cabinetry. Refacing saves substantially on budget, allowing you to reinvest in other features and upgrades. Additional custom cabinetry or a new island creates valuable additional storage space and that visual change homeowners often want.

‍

The new cabinetry added into a hybrid kitchen remodel will perfectly match the refaced, existing cabinet boxes.

‍

The result is a highly personalized and transformative kitchen design.

‍

This hybrid approach improves the aesthetics and function of a kitchen, while also increasing the property value should you decide to sell down the road.

‍

The 2022 cost vs. value report says that a minor kitchen remodel will return 74.7% of the investment

‍

Make it personal

A hybrid kitchen can include any type of custom-built cabinets, a desk, or a customized display case that match the refacing cabinets for a unified space.

‍

Our design consultants often propose creative ideas for storage solutions, addressing issues you may not have even known you had. A good example of that might be creating a designated storage space for dry goods, spices, cooking essentials, and other everyday items.  All of these improvements go a long way in helping you stay organized.

‍

How to hybrid

Hybrid kitchens are a top trend in Kitchen Magic kitchens, and most homeowners utilize a hybrid design model to one degree or another.

‍

Designers do not see that trend slowing since the outcome is a custom solution for every customer. Even with the pandemic in the rear-view mirror, many homeowners still have enhanced storage on their wish lists.

‍

We've outlined several of the most popular design scenarios for which a homeowner embraces a hybrid design plan:

‍

Pass on the peninsula

Adding a custom kitchen island instead of a peninsula is more conducive to gatherings. Homeowners with older homes often bid adieu to their kitchen peninsula, as the U-shape is a configuration that tends to "trap" people into a particular prep or dining area.

‍

Instead, allow your kitchen design team to create a kitchen island for increased workflow. A kitchen island is also a user-friendly layout for dining and social gatherings.

‍

Storage space galore

Stock up and add a bank of cabinets, a buffet, a credenza, or a pantry. Copious storage is more critical than ever as remote work and more time at home have become permanent for many. A top request of homeowners is additional storage for dry goods, small appliances, and cooking equipment allowing them to keep stocked up and maintain a high-functioning kitchen.

‍

An empty corner can become that creates a personalized focal point for your new kitchen design. Imagine a coffee station, device charging zone, bar area or even a display case as an empty corner becomes your 'statement' corner.

‍

Working from home

A built-in desk offers a welcome addition to working and learning at home. On those days you can avoid the commute and stay just as functional with an additional work-from-home zone. Reface the existing cabinets and add a custom deck that suits your home office needs.

‍

Design details

A hybrid kitchen design allows you to claim extra space and even double your existing space with smart storage solutions, Whether you plan to add a pantry, credenza, or a mudroom with cabinets, the sky's the limit with the help of the skilled craftspeople and designers at Kitchen Magic.

‍

Up your design game with glass-front cabinets flanked by new pantry cabinets to increase storage and still showcase your new finds. Mix and match colors and textures for a unique design. A woodgrain display cabinet or island can add flair when paired with a white kitchen for a beautiful timeless look.

‍

When you're ready

At Kitchen Magic, our signature refacing consists of premium North American lumber and solid veneers that set the tone for a quality, functional design. Our custom cabinetry is all USA Made, hand crafted in our factory in Nazareth, Pennsylvania.

They say that behind every great man, there is a great woman. Well, in the case of Key To Life this couldn't be more true. Kelly Dooley is COO of Key To Life, but this title doesn't even come close to describing her role in the company. Alongside her husband, Tate Dooley, Kelly is also the co-founder and co-owner of Key To Life. Kelly is responsible for most of the inner workings of the company, being a driving force within every sector of the company's operations. From logistics, to order processing, to creating every single piece of marketing material the company releases, to composing and releasing our newsletters, to product purchasing, to building and maintaining the website, to handling HR and inter-company relations, and everything in between. The company's success is directly related to her efforts, and this is evident every single day. Plain and simple, the company could not function without Kelly!!

‍

Key To Life's marketing is top notch in the industry. It's clean, it's eye-catching, it's informative and it's cohesive. Typically, marketing is handled by someone who went to college specifically for marketing. Generally informational sheets and handouts are pretty typical for this reason. There are simple headlines, a few pictures and lots of text. Not at KTL. Kelly takes Key To Life's marketing to the next level. Not only is it clean and easy to follow, but every new piece of marketing material seems somehow to be better than the last! Kelly continues to find new and inventive ways to make common things seem exciting, and the mundane details seem exclusive!! Take something like hemp material separation. In a nutshell, it's a pretty straightforward process by which desirable hemp material is separated from undesirable material. Kelly completely turned it on its head and went Super Hero with it, turning it into The Incredible Bulk separation process! Now it's something exciting and eye opening to the industry and swiftly becoming an industry standard.

‍

Content generation and release is, once again, generally relegated to people with writing backgrounds; people who majored in English or creative writing in college. At Key To Life, this is just another role Kelly has masterfully taken on. She is responsible for not only editing, but oftentimes writing the weekly newsletter, and even designing our states regulatory labeling. And on top of that, she helps mold and present it in new and exciting ways! Key To Life's newsletters cover everything from exclusive deals to educational knowledge drops to promotional content describing upcoming events. Kelly makes all this not only palatable, but she makes it interesting and eye-catching.

‍

Creating and maintaining a website can oftentimes be a complicated and frustrating endeavor. People can go to college for years just to be able to write the code necessary to create a functioning website that doesn't crash or isn't so user UNfriendly that people lose interest immediately and move on. Not only has Kelly helped create the website for Key To Life, she also is responsible for adding new products on a nearly daily basis as well as coordinating with the logistical partners AND the financial partners to ensure that it is functional. She taught herself how to embed items in the website and place content strategically so that as it continually changes, the company can maintain functionality and efficiency!

There has never been a better time to grow organic, and Key To Life Supply has the answers! Traditionally farmers chose to grow with synthetic (chemically-based) fertilizers mainly due to lower input costs. However, the tables are turning; this year, in 2022, synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, and fungicides have skyrocketed in price! According to worldbank.org, "synthetic fertilizers are now at their least affordable levels since the 2008 global food crisis". Synthetic fertilizers prices "have risen nearly 30% since the start of 2022, following last year's 80% surge." Supply chain shortages and rises in wages, fuel and logistics costs are all behind this market shift. It is no surprise then that organic farming is finally seeing the full light of day and is now highly cost-competitive against its synthetic fertilizer counterpart! These pricing surges give organic farmers a competitive edge to grow organic produce at a competitive cost.

‍

So why is produce at the grocery store continuing to increase in price? Shipping and handling. Logistics is one of the most significant expenses that any farmer faces when getting their crop from their farm to the grocery store. Also, the logistics it takes to process and harvest large amounts of produce on any given farm heavily relies upon fuel prices and labor wages. Another factor that has kept farmers from switching from synthetic fertilizers to organic fertilizers is a short timeline mindset. For instance, when working with many farmers, we found that most were only leasing the land they grew on. With real estate prices rapidly rising, we see more costly lease rates for available land and farmers acquiring larger parcels. Owning their land is an absolute game-changer that will help farmers focus on long-term regenerative farming practices, with a significant emphasis on building soil quality to have healthier plants the following year with fewer pests and diseases. With increased pride in their land, farmers are also focusing on water conservation and maximizing their plant's health based on the genetic potential of each plant variety.

‍

So, other than saving some money, you may ask, what's so great about going organic? Studies have shown that organic foods often have more beneficial nutrients, such as antioxidants, than their synthetically-grown counterparts. The difference is particularly dramatic in produce. For example, tomatoes grown using organic methods can contain up to 50% more vitamin C than conventionally-grown varieties. Furthermore, organic food tends to taste better; the extra flavor comes from what's left out: synthetic chemicals. Also, going organic helps us look after our soil and environment. Even if you don't buy into the many published health benefits, there's no denying that going organic will now save you money.

‍

Suppose you are like many other home gardeners. In that case, you may have considered growing an organic garden before but decided it was too expensive or too complicated or that there were not enough resources available to help you do it. Now, those reasons no longer hold water!

‍

Sometimes, food can seem less important or even taken for granted in our highly connected and convenient lives. Taking charge of your food production and starting a backyard garden means freedom from waiting in line at crowded grocery stores only to find that they are out of milk or eggs or - perish the thought - even just simple foods like potatoes or apples. Taking your food production back into your own hands allows you to free yourself of the supply chain shortages at the grocery stores, skyrocketing prices, and chemically fertilized and nutrient-deficient foods. Reignite the connection with your food and the planet while building memories with a bountiful reward, such as delicious organically grown food in varieties you and your family may never have tried before.

‍

Come learn with the Key To Life Supply family how to grow your own organic food! We can help you reduce costs and ensure you have access to the healthiest food for you and your family.

Propel Center, in commemoration of Black Music Month, joined with five of Propel's institutional partners to successfully launch the first of the three-part C3 Series, an executive music industry pipeline program to promote music entrepreneurship in tech.

‍

The accelerator series, the acronym of which stands for Create, Collaborate and Connect, will work to increase the leadership pipeline in today's music industry for HBCU students and young people of color with the aim of fulfilling these three ambitions by providing participants with an all-access pass to learn directly from some of the music industry's greatest minds, executives and tastemakers.

‍

The limited C3 Series will run through March 2023, with the program mission to ensure that the pipeline of diverse leadership reaches and includes HBCU talent, while fast-tracking the next generation of executive leaders in music marketing, music public relations, tech and production. The inaugural participants, which included more than 60 students convened in master classes hosted at Clark Atlanta University, hailed from Bethune-Cookman University, Jackson State University, Clark Atlanta University, Edward Waters University and Bishop State Community College.

‍

As part of C3's project-based, learning focused curriculum, each of the students were tasked with presenting a potential new artist to the consumer market by curating the needed music assets, and then working to implement a tailored marking and communications campaign. The program, funded by the Industry Impact Grants made available to eligible Propel Center HBCU member institutions, is co-facilitated by respected executives, Steve Higgs, COO, Preach Records/Ingrooves and head of A&R, and Cortez Bryant, co-CEO of the management firm Blueprint Group and adjunct professor at his alma mater, Jackson State University.

‍

Guest speakers for the Black Music Month master class roll-out included Bryant and Higgs, Shawn Gee, partner/president at Live Nation Urban, Gee Roberson, co-CEO at Blueprint Group, Tuo Clark, SVP of A&R at Def Jam, Josh Raiford of Pandora/Sirius XM, Grammy Award-Winning producer Drummaboy, Dominique Simpson, CEO of CMPR, Inc. and music-producer Fresh Ayr.

‍

"The new C3 Series program is just another example of the innovative, empowering work that's happening at Propel," said Dr. Charles J. Gibbs, president, Propel Center HBCU Consortium. "As we look to continue to provide our students with a pathway to help shape the future of the music industry, it's imperative that we expose them to the limitless executive opportunities beyond artist careers," he added.

‍

"There are countless more possibilities—and a greater likelihood of achieving success—in the many roles that exist to display talent behind the scenes making things happen in music, and through this accelerator platform we're training our students to be the best prepared and ready to step into those roles."

‍

"The Bethune-Cookman University Music Mogul project created at C3 with the Propel grant is proving to be a successful experiential learning program for our students who are participating in this unique pilot project," stated professor Sylvester Polk of BCU. "Our students are enjoying their experience and the wealth of knowledge that is being provided to them," he continued. "They had a rare chance to experience real-world industry operations, were in recording studios and attended master classes with seasoned industry professionals. This has been a necessary and vital complement to what we are doing in the classroom."

‍

"There is a real need for developmental programs within the music business. I'm so thankful that Propel stepped up to the plate to lend the resources to attack that problem," emphasized industry partner Cortez Bryant. Concluded fellow industry partner Steve Higgs: "This program is the solution to equity and inclusion in executives' spaces within the music industry. HBCU students deserve innovative programs such as this, to ensure career readiness."

Zabon Ramen, a unique ramen restaurant originated in Japan, announced today it will open a second location in Anaheim, California in the Anaheim Packing District. The first Zabon Ramen opened in Torrance, California in 2016 and has quickly become one of the most popular ramen spots in Southern California.

‍

Zabon Ramen originates from Kagoshima-Prefecture in Kyushu Island. The unique blend of Pork (Tonkotsu) and Chicken broth together with soy sauce topped with generous amounts of vegetables and chashu meat makes Zabon a unique and fulfilling ramen bowl loved by many ramen connoisseurs.

‍

"I want to make delicious ramen noodles," shared founder Tetsuro Ishino.

‍

It was this single-minded aspiration that led the founder of Zabon Ramen in Japan, to open his first store in Shinjuku, Tokyo in 1978. It became an iconic stop for the late-night crowd after opening a store in the Roppongi which is a popular district in Tokyo for the night scene.

‍

Fast forward to 2022, and the flagship Torrance store serves the original and authentic Zabon Ramen while introducing other popular menu items such as Miso Spicy Ramen, Vegan Ramen offerings, and appetizer items to meet the market demand while maintaining the authenticity of Japanese food culture. The new location in Anaheim will also offer sushi rolls offering a variety of Japanese food delicacies for every palate.

‍

Co-founder, Tatsuya Yabuuchi states, "As we have carefully prepared ourselves to expand our presence here in the U.S., we have always considered Orange County to be the ideal second-store location and we feel that the Anaheim Packing District would be a perfect place for our expansion plan."

"The assault on the mental well-being of our communities reflect the disproportionate physical, emotional, and financial impacts the COVID-19 pandemic has had on Hispanic communities," said Jane L. Delgado, PhD, MS, President and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, the Nation's leading Hispanic health advocacy group. To underscore the needs and to mark the start of National Minority Mental Health Month (July 2022), the National Alliance for Hispanic Health released a series of infographics to highlight the crisis that exists among Hispanic high school students as well as for Hispanic adults.

‍

According to findings released in the infographics, nearly 1 in 5 Hispanic high school students (19.7%) seriously considered suicide and nearly half (46.6%) reported persistent feelings of sadness or hopelessness in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has transformed a decade-long trend of students' declining mental health into a national emergency. The mental health challenges faced by students today are alarming and demand urgent action."

‍

The data for adults is also concerning. The data from June 2020 revealed that Hispanic adults were the community most likely to report at least one adverse mental health condition, including anxiety disorder or depressive disorder. Moreover, Hispanics were the group most likely to have considered suicide. Furthermore, treatment rates for Hispanic individuals living with a mental illness are alarmingly low. In 2020, only about a third of Hispanic adults with a mental illness received treatment, compared to nearly half of all non-Hispanic individuals.

‍

"Our families and children are hurting. They are suffering in the silence which ignores their cries. If you or someone you know is experiencing suicidal thoughts call 988 to contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline or call in Spanish at 1-888-628-9454 or English at 1-800-273-8255. If you need information for mental health services in your area call the Alliance's bilingual Su Familia Health Helpline at 1-866-783-2645 for information." urged Dr. Delgado.

Rowan, the first clean beauty brand for dogs, today announced the launch of an innovative new collection of clean color products for dogs. The Rowan Color Kit includes three washable, non-staining color sticks and Rowan's luminous Coat Shimmer providing endless options for creative fun. Rowan co-founders Michelle Arnau and Sally Clarke worked with their in-house Clean Beauty Chemist and Veterinary Dermatologist to create dog-friendly color that pet parents wouldn't hesitate to use. Everything in the kit is made with non-toxic ingredients and formulated according to clean beauty standards using the Credo Clean Standard as their guide.

‍

"At Rowan we think a lot about unique ways to add joy to the experience of having a dog," said Rowan co-founder Michelle Arnau. "With fun in mind we used our clean beauty chemistry expertise to create non-toxic, washable, chic color pops for pups and their parents. Our color sticks dry quickly after application, so they stay on your pup, not your rug. They also wash off easily with pet-friendly shampoo (we recommend The Hair Wash or The Fur Wash, of course). Best of all, the color sticks are non-staining, so they won't leave any hues behind when washed."

‍

The brand has partnered with Jorge Bendersky, celebrity dog groomer and author of the best-selling book DIY Dog Grooming, to launch the collection. Bendersky says, "Rowan's new color for dogs allows your pooch to express their inner artistic selves, and get a little extra attention on the street, making heads turn, they love it. There is no excuse not to be glamorous."

‍

Taking inspiration from the world of sweet treats, the Rowan Color Collection consists of three bright candy colors including Heavy Petting Pink, Tailwag Teal and Pawsitively Purple. These complementary hues were made to flatter every type of dog coat. And since everything's better with sparkles, the kit includes the brand's signature coat shimmer, a coat creme made with dog-friendly Mica. The Rowan Color Kit is available via its Direct-to-Dog website and Neighborhood Goods stores nationwide retailing at $50.

‍

Rowan's care for pets and the planet doesn't stop with the ingredients inside. Rowan also believes deeply in the human/dog connection and the benefit pets have on one's mental and physical health. The brand's impact program supports organizations that work to keep people and their pets together.
