![]() Red Bull Still Believed in Its WingsĮven with the evidence on the table down to a scientific point, Red Bull never pled guilty as they believed that this is just one unsatisfied customer. The credibility in both instances is grown by the consumers within the market itself, however, it is the responsibility of the company to curate such credibility appropriately based on the product’s description. They both claim that they are the very best on the market by offering the most efficient product (not necessarily price-wise). In such a case we can view the branding used by Red Bull as the same sort of marketing used by Duracell batteries. Red Bull had always marketed their product as a “superior source of energy”, in other words stating that their drink is the best and most efficient. “Such deceptive conduct and practices mean that advertising and marketing is not just ‘puffery,’ but it instead deceptive and fraudulent and it therefore actionable,” the lawsuit stated. ![]() The judge that was present at the hearing agreed with Benjamin’s viewpoint: The misleading part which Benjamin used in the lawsuit was that the energy drink does not offer as much energy as advertised, as a 250ml can of Red Bull has less caffeine than a cup of coffee. Red Bull’s famous slogan turned out to be false (Source: Public Domain) Now to get the story straight, Benjamin never expected to actually grow wings as he knew the slogan was metaphorically used to represent the high content of energy that the energy drink has to offer. Benjamin Carethers, a man from America, believed that the slogan is dishonest and therefore sued the company on the accusation of false advertising! The Drink Won’t Give You Wings However, in 2013 their slogan was about to be tested by a customer who felt that the slogan represents false advertising. Every advert created by Red Bull is associated with its famous slogan “Red Bull gives you wings” through which they try to define to the customer the high content of energy offered by this drink. It said it had carried out recent research, not admissible to the ASA, which backed up its claims.Ed Bull is another huge brand that used very good marketing techniques over time to grow its brand and make it famous worldwide. Red Bull said its drink derived its energy-giving powers from a mixture of caffeine, taurine (an amino acid) and a special sugar, glucuronolactone. ![]() Red Bull will now have to run future claims past the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) copy advice team for approval before placing future adverts. The ASA said it had also noted that a single can of Red Bull contained only about as much of the stimulant caffeine as a cup of coffee. Red Bull produced more than 20 studies to substantiate its claims.īut the ASA said much of the research suggested that it was necessary to drink four cans of the drink to enhance performance - not just the one implied in the advertisements. The newspaper, magazine and poster advertisements all contained claims that the drink could help improve concentration, reaction time and endurance.īut the ASA said the Austrian-based manufacturers company could not provide satisfactory evidence to back up its claims for the period when the complaints were made. The ASA ruling follows complaints about advertisements for the drink dating back to 1997. ![]()

![]() ![]() The Sistema Nacional de Monitoreo de Tsunamis (Sinamot) -National Tsunami Monitoring System- indicated the probability of strong currents and waves due to the tsunami caused by the eruption of the volcano in Tonga. In Costa Rica’s Pacific coast very rarely, according to the records, tsunamis have been detected and when they did occur they were very minor, for example in the North Pacific there was a small one after an earthquake and subsequent tsunami in Nicaragua that caused many deaths and destruction in the neighboring country in 1992. “This teaches us the importance of being prepared to face this type of event, regardless of whether the threats occur in places far away from our country,” said Solís. The president of the CNE, Alexánder Solís, reported that at 3:30 pm there were no reports of damage or injuries. Advertisement - The Fuerza Publica (national police) worked with the CNE to warn tourists that they were on the beach, as seen in this photo from Cóbano. The CNE and other institutions remained monitoring the Pacific coast throughout the afternoon Saturday, in case of any change in sea level. ![]() The CNE reported that the greatest wave effect occurred from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm. Near the cruise ship pier in Puntarenas, José Arce, from the Aquatic Search and Rescue(Búsqueda y Rescate Acuático) unit, said that the beach was evicted and although it was not something alarming, he did notice some change in the waves at that time. Reports indicated that did not notice anything abnormal in the sea however, others informed Sinamot that, as the tide rose, they noticed that the sea retreated further. Similarly, in social networks, some coastal municipalities such as those of Santa Cruz, Quepos, Puntarenas and Garabito warned about the change in the waves and, at the same time, called for calm and not to alarm the population with false reports that were not those provided by the CNE, Sinamot, and first response institutions. Jesús Mora, deputy mayor of Osa confirmed “There is constant monitoring from Quepos to Coronado de Osa, to observe the behavior of the sea.” At 12:20 pm, these bathers who were on the beach, near the Monseñor Sanabria Hospital, in El Roble, Puntarenas were not aware of the eviction request that the CNE had issued. Ut recommended not staying within the beach line and suspending water activities in the Pacific coastal area. Consider transportation routes in your area, and assess the most suitable alternatives for evacuation in case of an emergency.Although an extraordinary impact was not expected, the CNE activated the Municipal Emergency Committees and with the help of the Fuerza Publica (National Polic), the Cruz Roja (Red Cross) and other entities, asked the population that was near the Pacific beaches to get out of the sea and remain vigilant during this period. Evacuate immediately if instructed to do so.Avoid river valleys and low lying areas.Stay out of the area defined as a restricted zone by government officials trying to watch an erupting volcano up close is very dangerous.If you are in the vicinity of a volcanic eruption: Effects of a volcanic eruption were experienced many kilometres from the volcano.Įven if you don’t see the eruption mudflows, flash flooding, wildfires, and deadly hot ash flow could still reach those in the surrounding area. Following continuous eruptions, dry weather and strong winds, the ash has been able to spread over a large area. Further updates included travel safety advice for what to do during a volcanic eruption, and continuous monitoring of the volcano.Īsh clouds from the volcano may cause breathing hazards in populated areas near Turrialba, and low visibility makes travel by air dangerous. SAFEY Emergency System sent alerts to users in the area that there was increased volcanic activity. Travelers were able to visit the crater, and the surrounding Turrialba Volcano National Park, but following recent eruptions both access to the volcano and the park were closed. Turrialba Volcano has experienced an increased number of eruptions since 2014. ![]() Large ash clouds caused a risk of disruption to air traffic in the area, airports in the area were closed, and several international flights were suspended. A 2 km security perimeter was established around Turrialba Volcano, in Cartago Province, following several eruptions during December 2016 and January 2017.Ī state of emergency was declared in the surrounding area, including the capital of San Jose. ![]() ![]() This is a softcover sketchbook so it is flexible and easy to bend. These pages are dense and they can easily support graphite, ink, or charcoal. They all have the same cover design, paper quality, and number of pages(160 total). It’s really just a doodling book because the size limits how much you can draw.īoth the medium and large sketchbooks are made for fairly adept artists who want a sizable surface for drawing. The smallest size is really damn small but perfect for on the go. This particular model comes in three sizes: small(3.5″ x 5.5″), medium(5.5″ x 8.2″), and large(7″ x 10″). Leda is another big brand that makes their own sketchbooks for artists of all types. Moleskine is top quality and if you’re OK with a classic spine then you can’t go wrong with the Art Plus. Overall a brilliant sketchbook or notebook for any purpose. This is a neat little feature so you don’t have to flip around to find the next blank page. Plus the book comes with a wrapper elastic to mark your place wherever you leave off. You’ll get plain white paper that can hold well through ink and pencil. It’s not super hard but it’s definitely strong enough to stand on its own. ![]() I think the hardback is better for resting your palm and for keeping the inner pages free of crinkles. But they do have paperback sketchbooks if you prefer that style. ![]() This model is a hardback sketchbook which I find ideal for artists. This is a staple of Moleskine notebooks and it’s one reason why people love them so much. It’s a fantastic portable sketchbook that really feels like a quality design.Īll of the 104 pages are thread bound meaning they use thread to keep them together. It measures 5″ x 8.25″ so you can take this pretty much anywhere. The Art Plus sketchbook is small yet versatile. It’s a universally-loved sketchbook because the brand is trustworthy and the quality is noticeable. The classic Moleskine Art Plus is a favorite among artists, designers, and writers alike. It’s not great for finished work, although you can bring some drawings to a complete render if you wish. I recommend this Pentalic sketchbook if you need a durable choice to dive in and start sketching. It also makes the perfect surface to lean against if you don’t have a desk or board handy.įor the price it’s a great buy and you get plenty of pages to work through. The hard covers are strong and will not bend or risk damage your drawings. Each page is actually pretty smooth too, so it does replicate the feel of copy paper if you’re used to that texture. It measures the standard A4 size of 8.5″ by 11″ so this should feel like drawing on copy paper. However these pages can hold up with ink, colored pencils, or even very light markers(probably not markers like Prisma). If you plan to use markers then you’ll want another book. The Pentalic spiral-bound sketchbook has a sturdy construction, 160 pages, and thick paper quality so you can draw heavy & dark without bleeding through. I’ve organized my top 10 picks here, but if you have other suggestions feel free to share and maybe we can add them to the list.įirst up is my top pick for beginners and advanced artists alike. ![]() My goal with this post is to save you time by helping you pick the right sketchbook for any situation. You’ll learn which sketchbooks work best for you and which don’t. However as you progress and improve you’ll learn a lot about paper types and artistic mediums. But you also have to consider where the binding is and if that’ll get in the way of sketching.Īll these features can drive you batty if you’re brand new to sketching. Sketchbook orientations can always be changed by flipping to page. However when drawing at a desk or on a board the spirals can elevate the book, tilting unevenly to one side. I always prefer spiral-bound over hardbound because it feels better for sketching on the go. But if you plan to use it for full drawings then you might want something a larger to show off your skills. If you just want a simple sketchbook then the A4 size should be enough.
![]() ![]() If the losing player has not borne off any of their checkers and has checkers in the opponent's home board (lower right quadrant) or are still knocked off, the winner scores three points, which is known as losing a backgammon. If the losing player has not borne off any of their checkers by the time the winner has won, the winner will achieve 2 points, and is known as losing a gammon. One to three points can be awarded during the backgammon game dependant on where the loser's checkers are on the board when the winner wins. This means you can place your checkers into the slot on the right, removing them from the board. ![]() Once you move all your checkers into the upper right quadrant (in the single player backgammon game), you may start bearing off. Beware though! Leaving your checkers open with only one on a point leaves them open to be knocked off by your opponent as well! They may not move any other checkers until that knocked off checker is returned. The opponent must now roll and move into an empty spot in your home territory to get that checker back into gameplay. If you land on a Point with one opponent checker, you knock the opponent's checker off the board and send it back to the beginning. You may not move your checkers onto a Point with two or more opponent checkers. ![]() You may move your checkers onto any Point so long as it is occupied by your checkers, is empty, or has 1 opponent checker. If you roll doubles, you get to move each die twice, concluding in four moves for that turn. Highlights show you where the checkers can possibly move.

An example, he says, is 249-year-old footwear maker Birkenstock ( BIRK), which went public this fall, with more than $200 million in profits on $1.3 billion in sales in 2022. And as the IPO market recovers from the 2022 plunge, the stocks launching now are more likely to be "high quality and well vetted," he adds. ![]() IPOs can provide some diversification from the mega-size companies dominating the S&P 500, says IPOX's Schuster. If it is going to be a winner, you only need a little," says Duncanson. "If an IPO is going to be a loser, you only want to lose a little. Bear in mind that for every Tesla, there is at least one WeWork ( WEWKQ), which is down 99% since its 2021 debut and recently filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. ![]() Be cautious when investing in IPOsįor investors who can tolerate the risk, it's okay to add a smidgen – though only a smidgen – of IPOs to your portfolio now, says Brian Duncanson, a fee-only financial adviser in Vero Beach, Florida. The currently high-flying Renaissance ETF notched a 15.1% average annual loss over the past three years and returned an annualized 1.2% over the past five years, compared with the S&P 500's average annual returns of 10.2% and 9.9% over the same periods. An index of all U.S.-listed stocks returned about 11% annualized over the same period, Ritter reports. Regular investors did worse.ĭespite blockbusters such as electric-vehicle icon Tesla ( TSLA) and vaccine-maker Moderna ( MRNA), the average IPO stock bought at the publicly available closing price on its first trading day returned about 6% annualized over three years. Between the start of 1980 and year-end 2022, the majority of IPOs lost money over the three- and five-year periods following their debut – even for investors lucky enough to buy at the official offering price, according to an analysis by University of Florida finance professor Jay Ritter. IPOs continue to generate buzz despite their poor long-term track record for investors. IPOs have a poor long-term track record for investors Among the firms that have hinted at upcoming IPOs: artificial intelligence company Databricks, veggie burger maker Impossible Foods and financial technology company Stripe. ![]() And Schuster expects the rebound to continue through 2024. Through the first nine months of 2023, a total of 76 IPOs have already gathered almost $15 billion from investors. That was down from 365 deals in 2021 that collected $134 billion from investors.
