Duck Duck Books, a certified minority- and women-owned children's book publisher, announces the launch of Duck Duck Eco Goods, its new line of sustainable and convertible accessories.

‍

Duck Duck Eco Goods offers the Duck Duck GiftSwaddle, a multi-use, reusable, washable wrapping cloth inspired by the traditional Japanese furoshiki, and the Duck Duck Backpack, a reusable and washable toddler backpack-turned-lunch bag that grows with your child. The newest product, Duck Duck Backpack, is made with the SUPERNATURAL PAPER™ from Out of the Woods, creators of eco-friendly and durable vegan bags made from responsibly and ethically sourced materials.

‍

"Sustainability is a big part of who we are and what we do," said Duck Duck Books' Founder Serena Y. Li. "Our vision is a world with more families making eco-conscious decisions and living eco-friendly lifestyles." An Asian American mother of a toddler, Serena Y. Li was baffled at the amount of waste generated by child consumerism and wanted to leverage her brand to help reduce waste. She dreamed up the design for the convertible backpack and initiated an exclusive collaboration with Out of the Woods.

‍

"It's been a delightful experience collaborating with Serena Li and Duck Duck Books in developing a backpack that synthesizes the best in function, charm and of course, sustainability – for our most precious customer. We share the same philosophy as Duck Duck Books in creating offerings which encourage conscious choices for everyone, ultimately resulting in greater collective impact." said Pierre Barlier, CEO of Out of the Woods.

‍

This is not the first time the Duck Duck Books team innovated an existing product for the sake of quality and sustainability. Duck Duck Books' multilingual children's board books for 0-5 years old–which focus on social emotional themes with multicultural values–are also printed with plant-based ink on responsibly sourced paper.

‍

"Change doesn't have to be drastic. Change isn't all or nothing. If all of us make small, solid steps to contribute to a more sustainable world, we can leave the planet better than we found it for our next generation," said Li.

WGNR is the newest advertising and marketing agency founded by president and industry veteran, Wagner dos Santos. Agency operations commenced in June of this year following the closing of dos Santos' former agency, The Wagner Agency. After nearly six years of servicing global and national clients and receiving numerous awards, dos Santos felt it was time to wind down that agency in order to introduce a new advertising agency concept under a different entity and name.

‍

Over the past decade, the subscription economy has grown more than 435%, according to a Zuora report, and businesses of all industry categories have either experimented with or fully adopted the subscription-based model. The COVID-19 pandemic had a major impact on how rapidly this business model has taken off and continues to grow. In 2020, ZDNet reported that 22.5% of companies that offer subscription services witnessed an acceleration of memberships after the pandemic first hit. The same Zuora report entitled The End of Ownership found that 78% of adults currently have subscription services.

‍

Having closely analyzed this subscription boom over the years, dos Santos identified that advertising and marketing agencies were either not offering subscription services or what they offered did not allow for "on-demand" ordering and required extra steps from the client. A recognized disrupter and maverick in the advertising industry, dos Santos began planning the formation of a subscription-based advertising and marketing agency and WGNR was born. As dos Santos explained, "It seemed like an obvious area for agencies to explore and I was shocked to find that out of the nearly twenty thousand agencies throughout the U.S., none of them were daring enough to dive right in." Dos Santos continued that "we often educate clients that successful businesses are those that are listening to the markets and serve consumer demands. So it's only natural that we would want to practice what we preach."

‍

WGNR describes itself as a full-service advertising agency with experts from across the globe. The Orlando agency offers numerous monthly subscription plans for services such as SEO, blog post writing, public relations, social media marketing, and paid media priced appropriately for small businesses and start-ups. Most plans start under two hundred dollars per month. For businesses and brands with an average annual revenue above one million dollars, WGNR provides full-service marketing solutions and services.

French restaurant Maison Close is proud to announce its grand opening in SoHo on July 27, 2022. Inspired by the distinct dining culture inherent to France and its celebration of shared spaces, Maison Close will offer an unparalleled vibe dining experience to neighbors and visitors across New York through approachable French cuisine, elevated beverages and a celebratory atmosphere.

‍

Rooted in the French term 'Maison' meaning 'home,' Maison Close was created with the interest of the surrounding neighborhood and its residents in mind. Lining Watts Street, the restaurant brings together the greatest aspects of New York and France, blending two unmistakable cultures to create an incomparable dining experience unlike any other in the city. Building upon the revival of New York City's restaurant industry, Maison Close is a sanctuary for celebration and sophistication in the heart of the beloved SoHo neighborhood. Whether a guest is a native New Yorker or a Parisian traveler searching for a taste of home, Maison Close has created an open yet intimate space for everyone to enjoy.

‍

Those familiar with French culture will note that Maison Close has an alternate meaning, relating to the 'Maison de tolerance" of early 20^th century France. Maison Close embraces both connotations of its name, celebrating the importance of community while honoring the historical significance of the French Maison.

‍

Developed in collaboration with DMDesign, Maison Close's thoughtful design concept evokes the utterly French experience of gathering around a table to connect over food. The intentionally open space encourages guests to celebrate the experience of sharing a great meal with one another, creating the collective soul of the restaurant. The interior of the space is reminiscent of the "Belle Epoque" era of 20^th century Europe, incorporating vibrant royal blues, warm dark oranges, and gold and brass hardware that modernize the traditional hues associated with the French theatre. Nods to the "Moulin Rouge" can be found throughout the dining room, from the tulip-shaped banquettes to the collection of exposed bulbs lighting the room from overhead, and heavy curtains allow the space to transition from a bright daytime eatery to an enticing evening hideaway.

‍

Under the direction of Executive Chef Geoffrey Lechantoux, the Maison Close menu features a variety of sophisticated yet accessible French dishes ranging from elegant apéritifs to indulgent desserts. Guests will also enjoy a selection of expertly crafted dishes prepared tableside including:

‍

• Belle Sole Meunière pan seared with a butter foam
• Cote de Boeuf served with Choron and Peppercorn sauce
• Crepe Suzette with Grand Marnier flambee
• Other carefully curated dishes include Tartare de Boeuf au Couteau, Artichauts à la Barigoule and La Grande Tour featuring Beausoleil oysters, Australian shrimps, whole Maine lobster, king crab legs and caviar.

‍

The bar program will feature crafted cocktails including Madame Claude with Grey Goose Poire Ginger, lemon and cucumber juice, and rose seltzer, L'Amour en Cage with Remy Martin V, golden berries, lemon juice, sugarcane and egg white, and La Turlutte with Bombay Sapphire Gin, fresh raspberries, meadowsweet cordial, lemon juice, and Moët & Chandon Imperial Champagne as well as a selection of curated wines and champagnes. Guests can stop in for a drink or a nightcap at the luxurious bar with crafted cocktails complemented by style and creativity.

‍

Chef Lechantoux brings his extensive culinary experience to Maison Close following several years working alongside renowned Chefs Alain Ducasse and Gordon Ramsay at multiple Michelin-star and globally recognized restaurants including Louis XV (Monaco), Trianon Palace (Versailles), Plaza Athénée (Paris), Le Jules Verne (Paris) and Benoit (New York).

‍

"When you enter Maison Close, it feels as though you've entered the dining room of your oldest friend," says Chef Lechantoux. "Our menu modernizes the idea of traditional French dining, and I'm excited to bring a fresh take on this classic cuisine to New York City."

‍

Maison Close is located at 15 Watts Street New York, NY 10013. The restaurant will be open Tuesday-Saturday from 11AM – Midnight, and Sunday from 11AM – 7PM. Beginning August 6^th, brunch will be served Tuesday-Saturday from 11AM – 6PM and Sunday from 11AM-7PM. Dinner service will begin at 6PM Tuesday-Friday and 7:30PM on Saturday until closing.

When Dr. Frank Chase, Jr. wrote Kleptomaniac: Who’s Really Robbing God Anyway? seven years ago, he likely did not foresee that Creflo Dollar, an eminent pastor and televangelist, would cause a major uproar in church circles with his admission that the teaching on monetary tithing was false. Recently, on June 26th, Creflo Dollar renounced his previous teaching on tithing, the practice of giving one-tenth of one’s income to the church. Over the years, Dollar has written books and given numerous speeches about the obligation of Christians to pay tithe in churches, but he publicly retracted his views recently.

“Some have even said Creflo may have read my book,” said Chase, a lay minister and writer. “That may be a stretch, but it's a nice thought that reading my book was the reason for his 180-degree change of heart.”

Dollar’s admission bears out Chase's rebuttal of monetary tithing as set out in his book, which is an exposé of how currently accepted doctrine came into existence centuries ago. The book confronts tough questions, such as whether God ever required a tithe of money, with detailed research. His book also explains the concept of giving from a New Testament perspective and questions how people are affected financially by the requirement to tithe, especially in times of financial hardship.

“Biblical tithing was never about money. Rather, it was about donating crops and livestock,” added Chase. “Tithing did not relate to income, as giving is always from the heart. It may come as no surprise that Dollar had previously been criticized for his lavish lifestyle, so his retraction as it relates to tithe is a welcome change. It reiterates that tithe is not a biblical requirement but a decision that must be made by individuals based on their heart and ability.”

Have you ever wondered how much your life is worth?  Economists have.  And depending on where you were born the results might disturb you.  The life of an American is valued at anywhere between $7 million and $10 million, but the life of a Liberian is worth only around $65,000.  This means that, according to economists, it is more beneficial to the world to save the life of one American than to save the lives of 100 Liberians.

‍

This paradox and more are the subject of the new book on the value of a life from Carneades: Are All Lives Equal? Why Cost-Benefit Analysis Values Rich Lives More and How Philosophy Can Fix it. The book explores the economic reasoning that leads to this unsettling conclusion, investigates several previous failed responses from philosophers and economists, and offers a new solution that would make economic cost-benefit analysis both more just and more accurate.

‍

The book explores the economic practices of cost-benefit analysis and the valuation of a statistical life through engaging anecdotes and dozens of stunning graphics.  It clearly walks through the process that leads to a useful and important tool for assessing government policies valuing the lives and preferences of the rich more than the poor. Carneades clears away the technical jargon and explains these tools in an intuitive and accessible way.

‍

Beyond merely explaining the economic rationale behind these tools, Carneades puts the economics literature in conversation with the centuries of philosophical tradition which argues that all lives are equal.  With over 40 new thought experiments, the book makes these philosophical ideas relatable and grounded in reality.  With a deep background in philosophy and development economics, Carneades is uniquely positioned to showcase these contradictions and provide a way forward that satisfies the needs of both fields of study.

‍

The book threads the needle between these two acrimonious disciplines, appreciating that cost-benefit analysis is an important tool that should not be discarded, while acknowledging that any tool that values one wealthy life as equal to hundreds of poor lives life needs to be recalibrated.  The book is available from Amazon for $29.99.

Action Network and Knights of Degen announced a new partnership kicking off this upcoming NFL Season, focused on bridging the gap between sports fans & web3.

‍

The collaboration represents the first partnership between Knights of Degen and a sports media entity and will unlock unique access for the respective sports betting communities, cross-collaboration content, IRL events including an NFL Kick Off event, exclusive contests and more.

‍

Each Knight NFT holder will be provided with a Premium Subscription to Action Network's sports betting content & analytics for free, and the Action community will receive access to new athlete AMAs, contests & educational onboarding to the NFT space. Action Network is joining the Knights of Degen community with the purchase of Knights of Degen NFTs.

‍

"Our partnership with the Knights of Degen will provide their community with direct access to Action's best experts and serve as a bridge between the sports betting and NFT communities,'' said Scott Miller, SVP Commercial for Better Collective-US (Action Network's parent company). "Sports betting is filled with unique one-of-a-kind experiences (just like NFTs) and our entrance into Web3 only furthers our commitment to combining the worlds of sports media and technology."

‍

Knights of Degen is building the premiere, community-led, Web3 sports and entertainment brand. Owning a Knight NFT provides access to a community of passionate sports fans and entrepreneurs, and a new way to experience traditional sports through exclusive contests, betting alpha, sports team ownership (ie. Fan Controlled Football & Wagmi United), athlete AMAs & VIP sports experiences and prizes.

‍

Knights of Degen was founded by a mix of Web3 entrepreneurs & traditional sports personalities - including Tiki Barber, Cynthia Frelund, Jerry Ferrara, Jared Augustine, Drew Austin, Jack Settleman and Blake Jamieson.

‍

"At the core of Knights of Degen, it's about hanging out on Sundays with your friends talking about your action on the game or fantasy scores,'' said former NY Giants Running Back, Tiki Barber. "We think Action Network is the perfect partner to provide great value and service to our community, and we believe KOD is the perfect entrance for traditional sports fans into Web3."
