Organic Food Preservatives Market Analysis With Key Players, Applications, Trends And Forecasts To 2026 - The Market Feed

ASHEVILLE, N.C., Nov. 11, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --Each year, more than 45 million turkeys are served around the holiday table. Even worse, an estimated 200 million pounds of turkey meat is thrown out every year. Is that what Thanksgiving is really about?

With plant-based eating on the rise, consumers are looking for deliciously meaty options that align with their desire to eat healthier and make positive environmental choices, especially during the holidays where meat is a traditional staple. If you're vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian or just don't care about the turkey, No Evil Foods' seasonal holiday roast alternative is the perfect solution.

Each year, The Pardon 'Holiday Centerpiece' receives overwhelmingly positive responses from consumers and retailers. To meet the growing demand, No Evil Foods is expanding its distribution to include all Whole Foods nationwide.

"We first introduced The Pardon in our early days at the farmer's market, and it always sold out quickly with demand far exceeding our ability to fulfill orders. Customers have been requesting it be available in stores coast to coast for years, so we're extremely excited for this national launch with our partners at Whole Foods and other retailers across the nation," said Mike Woliansky, No Evil Foods co-founder and CEO.

The artisan Plant Meat brand's success continues to be explosive, with 280% year-over-year sales growth from this time last year. Adding to their success is ThePardon, asthis year's sales have already exceeded last year by 236%

Coated with organic herbs, laden with umami and harnessing power from vital wheat gluten, white beans, chickpea flour and organic seasonings, The Pardon 'Holiday Centerpiece'is the perfect meat-free roast alternative for those who want to celebrate Thanksgiving without sacrificing traditional holiday flavors. Made to be carved, displayed and admired, this meat-free centerpiece provides an authentic roast turkey experience.

Providing 28 grams of plant-based protein, this holiday centerpiece is non-GMO and free of cholesterol, saturated fats, antibiotics, hormones, soy protein isolates, nitrates and dairy. Each 'Holiday Centerpiece' has eight servings per roast and will retail for $19.99.

The Pardon will beavailable nationwide through the fall and holiday season at every Whole Foods Market starting in November 2020. It will also be available for purchase at Wegmans, MOM's, Shop-Rite, Huckleberry's, The Fresh Market, Assorted Vegan and Natural Independents and online at VeganEssentials and FreshDirect.

"While holiday celebrations are all about the food, Thanksgiving is also about taking inventory of what we're grateful for, strengthening the connection with our birth and chosen families, and supporting our communities. None of that requires us to eat turkey," said Sadrah Schadel, co-founder of No Evil Foods. "If more Americans committed to eating less meat, we could dramatically cut emissions from animal agriculture and improve conditions for workers in the poultry industry."

With every purchase of this seasonal holiday 'roast', the Plant Meat brand sends a portion of the profit to Full Circle Farm Sanctuary, a safe haven for rescued farm animals. True to No Evil Foods' core values, The Pardon is a delicious dose of activism made for the center of your dinner table. Plus, it's certified plastic negative, a commitment the Plant Meat brand recently announced. For each pound of plastic used in the production of The Pardon, two pounds of plastic will be removed from the ocean.

Ditch the Turkey and Pick Up the Pardon - PRNewswire

Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything George Bernard Shaw

The world is shifting towards cleaner, more sustainable sources of energy and the use of renewable energy technologies.

However, this should not be interpreted as the beginning of the end of big oil.

Instead, it should anticipate a transformation and transition of the oil and gas industry, a real and proper renaissance triggered by the inclusion of new renewable energy technologies and big tech innovation.

The coronavirus pandemic forced working patterns, business models and short-term forecasts to change overnight.

But to what extent has the crisis accelerated digital transformation efforts and which technologies are more in demand as a result?

Last month, BP published the 2020 edition of its energy outlook. Although the publication is more than 130 pages long, a single chart dominated all the media attention.

In it, BPs economists analysed three possible scenarios, with one of them suggesting that peak oil demand may have been reached in 2019.

This was enough to trigger a wave of pessimistic articles calling for the end of the outdated oil industry.

But the medias attention was misdirected and missed the point on how the oil industry is adapting to the 21st century.

The oil industry is increasingly perceived as an old-fashioned industry.

According to a survey by EY in 2017, 62% of young workers find careers in oil and gas unappealing.

Besides environmental concerns, young workers described jobs in the industry as unskilled, difficult, dangerous and even harmful to society.

This perception seems to have already started to affect the ability of oil companies to attract new talent.

Bloomberg reported that the number of UK graduates going into the oil sector is now the lowest in seven years.

However, there is a deep fundamental change happening already across the industry that could potentially revolutionise the industry and improve the image.

The inclusion of artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to dramatically transform the industry into an environmentally cleaner more efficient one whilst simultaneously shifting the set of skills demanded by the industry towards more digitally intensive profiles.

There are several examples of the digital and transformation happening already across the oil supply chain, in most cases through strategic partnerships between oil companies and technological companies.

COVID-19 has further accelerated this digital transformation. In a survey by Twilio, a whopping 97% of business decision-makers say that the COVID-19 pandemic has sped up digital transformation at their company.

And 79% of business decision-makers said their budget for digital transformation had increased because of COVID-19.

In terms of exploration, most oil majors and even national oil companies are analysing their geothermal imagery with AI algorithms to improve the prediction accuracy of underground reserves.

Examples of this are abound. Petrobras and Shell recently announced a collaboration with Microsoft for that purpose.

Similarly, Google and Amazon offer partnership schemes where they supply expertise and technology tailored to the oil sector.

Additionally, ExxonMobil is partnering with scientists from MIT to create a fleet of deep-water exploration robots that could effectively increase the amount of data for deep-water exploration areas.

In September 2020, IBM and oil industry services companySchlumberger partnered on a major digitalisation initiative involving the exciting technology of hybrid cloud computing.

Schlumberger CEO Olivier Le Peuch explained that the partnership would result in technology that epitomises the ongoing digital transformation of the oil sector.

The oil industry has traditionally relied on heavy-duty equipment like deep-hole drilling machines.

These devices were generally not connected to the internet or configured to work with more integrated, cutting-edge analytical systems.

On the oil production stage, companies are using natural language processing (NLP) to systematically extract and process data from unstructured oil well production reports.

In addition, by installing sensors and valve systems or even using satellite readings, companies are immediately detecting and even predicting methane leaks in production sites.

NVIDIA and Baker Hughes recently announced a collaboration to collect data from sensors embedded in machines along the supply chain and then analyse the data through AI algorithms to identify potential gains in efficiency and risk management.

In the processing and refining phase, a mix of sensors installed across refineries or with specialised drones companies can detect carbon leaks and measure unusual vibrations that later help them to reduce maintenance costs and improve the safety in refineries.

On the oil trading side, OilX, an oil data analytics company is leveraging all the newly available data sets, from satellite readings to vessel tracking technologies to replicate a digital twin of the oil supply chain that enables users to identify in real-time relevant changes in patterns in the crude market.

The implementation of these new technologies will not only increase the productivity of the oil sector, but it will also dramatically change the skill set demanded by the industry.

The design, implementation, and maintenance of these tools will require professionals trained in data and computer science.

The implementation of AI technologies is revolutionising the oil and gas sector, by making it cleaner, safer and more efficient.

However, as a by-product of this implementation, the required profile for workers in the industry will shift towards more technologically trained individuals.

This injection of young talent could potentially allow the oil industry to evolve and embrace renewable energy technologies to help maintain its position.

Renewable Energy Technologies Are Impacting the Oil and Gas Future - Energy Voice

Today, Everest is a tired cliche of achievement. Overcrowded and completely commercialized, the diminishment of this storied peak is succinctly captured in a photo that went viral in May of 2019. In it, a legion of climbers hooded in brightly colored puffy jackets snake up the ridge of Everest in a perilous conga line, as if ascending a Grand Central escalator at rush hour.

Before Everest was routinely summited, it was the holy grail for alpinists and a conquest that fascinated the public and British government alike. The Moth and the Mountain by Ed Caesar details the race to conquer Everest and one amateurs mad attempt at this historic achievement.

This slim, riveting book hits all the right notes for an epic tale: the trauma of World War I, messy love triangles, globetrotting adventures, and a wayward soul hellbent on conquering his inner demons. At the center is Maurice Wilson, a brilliant, bull-headed, extraordinary figure who, after fighting in World War I, set out on the most incredible adventure to try and redeem his broken life, Caesar tells InsideHook. The adventure in question was highly ambitious and somewhat delusional: Wilson planned to crash-land a plane near the base of Everest and ascend the mountaintop, alone and unaided. At the time, Everest had never been summited and Wilson, for his part, did not know how to fly a plane and had hardly climbed anything more challenging than a flight of stairs.

Caesar first encountered Wilson while reading Into the Silence by Wade Davis, a book about early Everest adventurers in which Wilson earned a few paragraphs. This brief sketch of Wilsons crackpot quest immediately struck Caesar as incredibly cinematic. I used to sometimes wake up thinking about Wilson, Caesar says.

Caesars telling of Wilsons remarkable story, however, is not the first. In his lifetime, the bodacious Wilson was widely covered in the press and, in 1957, English journalist Dennis Roberts published Ill Climb Mount Everest Alone, the first book devoted to Wilson. But, according to Caesar, this first attempt at Wilsons life was riddled with inaccuracies. Crucially, What Roberts didnt do, Caesar says, was talk to anyone in Wilsons family, so he didnt really understand his wartime experience at all. In Caesars view, Wilson was never quite able to get over how extremely lucky he was to survive WWI. You sense him battling with fate and luck a lot, says Caesar, especially on his final trip to Everest.

Caesar conjures prevailing thoughts and psychological mindsets of the time by immersing the reader in historical detail and supplementing this adventure tale with helpful context concerning the geopolitics of a waning British Empire, the existential crisis induced by World War I and subsequent spiritualism.

Wilson came up in a renaissance of exploration, not in pursuit of new trade routes but in the name of science or at least that was the purported reason. As Caesar notes, Shackleton and other legendary explorers of this age framed their expeditions into remote, hostile territories as inward journeys to, in the words of Shackleton, the naked soul of men.

In the case of Wilson, his inability to settle into a contented, middle class family life following his experiences in WWI left him aching for purpose and direction. After a stint globetrotting, from New Zealand to the West Coasts of North America and back to England, he set his sights on Everest.

At the time, public imagination, stoked by British media, was captivated by astonishing feats of human endurance by polar explorers and mountaineers alike. The British government, perhaps detecting declining morale in the empire, sponsored these ambitious quests. But, in the case of Wilson, the British government expressly forbid his journey. Clever and determined, Wilson was able to outfox British officials every step of the way, procuring airplane fuel from unlikely sources and disguising himself as a Tibetan priest to evade detection while crossing the border from India to Sikkim.

They were so ill-equipped by modern standards, says Caesar, speaking of the early Everest climbers, and then related the story of the playwright George Bernard Shaw who, upon seeing a photo of Mallory and company dressed in tweed near the snowy peaks of Everest, remarked they looked as if on a picnic in Connemara, surprised by a snowstorm.

Wilson, for his part, fastidiously researched equipment and bought the most up to date gear he could find from Fortnum & Mason in Piccadilly including a lightweight, windproof tent, woolen undergarments, and hobnail boots lined with cork. The same department store supplied previous expeditions with everything from caviar to woolly hats. But, whereas these earlier group expeditions were accompanied by porters whose duties included carrying supplies, setting up camp, and cooking, Wilson had to do all those things alone while carrying a 45 lb. bag.

Wilsons training was laughable. With a mere two months of preparation, he learned to fly. During this time, he also went on long, strenuous walks on Britains highest slopes in Snowdonia and, later, in Wales mountainous north. Though he emerged extremely physically fit, these hills were but a pale shadow of Everest and he neglected to learn basic alpine techniques such as ice cutting, climbing in crampons, the use of the ax.

Most curiously, Wilson trained his mind and body in the art of fasting. In preparation for his march to Everest, Caesar writes, he cut down to one meal a day, then just to fruit, and then to nothing but waterAfter a period of abnegation, he though that the body was rebuilt even stronger. Though this goes against conventional wisdom, Wilsons faith in fasting was rooted in what Caesar calls the regenerative power of asceticism, not unlike holy men he encountered waiting in Darjeeling for opportune weather to tackle Everest.

In the end, Wilson never made it past Camp IV, though its no small miracle he made it that far. In the face of great doubt and adversity, Wilson repeatedly trounced everyones expectations and Caesars biographical tale of Wilson rightly restores a footnoted figure of alpine history to the storied peaks of Mount Everest, where his body lay still today.

The great advantage of a hotel is that it is a refuge from home life George Bernard Shaw.

We are living in our fairy tale, hoping to discover new things and experience unique moments. Hotel is perhaps the place we rely on if you are travelling to a distant place to discover.

The first one to top the chart is none other than the splendid Havenkraan van Harlingen. When you observe from outside, you cannot make out anything special or unique about this place, nor is it that beautiful.

But, if you watch closely, you will see that these rooms are built-in cranes! Some geniuses found a way to provide the vast spaces in the cranes for accommodations.

You dont have to be scared of this congested or crowded place. The crane rooms are built in a 150-feet-height and offer enough space for more than four people at a time.

One of the most fascinating facts is that you can enjoy the view of the ocean by rotating the room and getting a full panoramic view.

The second one on the list is none other than the Bivacco Gervasutti that is situated in Mont Blanc, Italy.

If you are looking for an escape from the material life, and want to blend peacefully with nature, this is the hotel you should head to.

While your stay here, may think you are standing at the point of the cliff, but, it is perfectly balanced illusion giving enough space for safety and security.

This hotel is very peculiar in offering rooms for their customers. The hotel is dedicated to offering capsule-shaped rooms for the travellers.

The rooms are built in such a way that they are accumulated up like a pile of books or matchboxes.

You cant find many hotels like such, as popularity is only slowly increasing in Japan. So, if you ever head to Japan, make sure you try Capsulevalue Kanda.

Okay, from stacks of matchboxes and hotel rooms in cranes, we have reached a place where we are portraying the haunted casino hotel in Las Vegas.

Anyone who wishes to stay at the casino hotel is sure to listen to plenty of the famous ultimate urban legend!

According to https://www.slotsformoney.com, the casino resort was a very famous gambling and hotel site for the travellers as well as betters.

In the 80s, along with another entertainment medium, gambling has also attracted a lot of players.

The legend says that the casino was burnt down and the locals witnessed many people dying and running in the casino catching fire. Apart from that, many people were also injured.

Poor souls must have come there to enjoy gambling, hoping to grab a win.

BRIGHTON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 14: Kai Havertz of Chelsea runs with the ball during the Premier League match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Chelsea at American Express Community Stadium on September 14, 2020 in Brighton, England. (Photo by Glyn Kirk/Pool via Getty Images

Chelsea rebounded from a rough start, but winter is the true test by Travis Tyler

Chelsea: Sheffield match gave us the best version of Mateo Kovacic by Gabe Henderson

Even before Kai Havertzs unfortunate contraction of the Coronavirus, commentators have been critical of Chelseas superlative acquisition. The 21-year-old has not set the league on fire from the outset of the campaign and for that, hes been slandered. The message here is this: calm down, he just needs to settle in. This young man will be a sensation, but it may take a short while. Havertz made perfect sense for Chelsea to sign in the summer.Why might it take a while for him to settle in? Lets explore some reasons.

First, Havertz is a young German international. Im not sure how much time he spent in England before signing with the Blues, but to think that transition alone isnt a major difference is naive. Moving to a new country is a major lifestyle move, culture shock and transition. Its tough under the most tranquil of circumstances; now, imagine you are a high-priced youngster moving to play in the English Premier League. The circumstances make it much more difficult and challenging. An overwhelming majority of football supportersespecially punditsshould realize this and know better than to criticize him this early.

England is vastly different than Germany or anywhere else for that matter. To think that a transition from being in Leverkusen to living in London would be easy for any 21-year-old is ignorant. Having to perform at the highest levels of one of the top football clubs in Europe, and the world, places that challenge at a whole other level. Observers should be cognizant of that fact.

Second, Havertz has to communicate in a new language. Its obvious the German had English training in the past, but even then, its new and its different in London.Christian Pulisic will readily acknowledgethat its not always easy to understand English slang. Even Americanswho speak the language regularlyfind it quite difficult on occasion to fully comprehend commentary from UK sportscasters. As George Bernard Shaw oncesaid, England and America are two countries separated by the same language.

Third, Havertz has to play with a whole new bevy of teammates. Absent German national team colleagues Timo Werner and Antonio Rudiger, Havertz has been inserted into a completely new team with which he is unfamiliar. In addition, that new team has a plethora of other new starters who have never played together. This coalescence takes time for any team in any league, especially in a league as demanding as the Premier League where its a monumental challenge.

Fourth, popular wisdom says that playing in the Premier League is different and tougher than any other European league. That change in style and physicality would take an adjustment from even the most hearty physical specimens who make the switch from the continent to the English top flight. Havertzs style is more of finesse than strength, so he will certainly find the transition to be more of a challenge than a more physical player might.

That notwithstanding, expect Havertz to adapt to the enhanced physicality of the Premier League. His strength trainingin coordination with the Chelsea physio teamwill better prepare him for the rigors of the transition. Without a doubt, hell emerge as a true star in the league shortly, perhaps even as soon as early in the new year.

Commentators critical of Havertz should chill and wait until the player fully acclimatizes in a few months to all aspects of his new surroundings. Then they will have to eat crow so to speak when Havertzas a No. 8 in Chelseas midfieldproceeds to wreak havoc on Premier League defenses. It will happen, the only question is how soon? Wait and see.

Chelsea: The criticism of Kai Havertz is premature and unwarranted - The Pride of London

Around 9pm on February 4, 1974, Patricia Hearst, heiress to the greatest newspaper fortune in the US, answered a knock at her apartment door in Berkeley, California.

Three people ran into the room, attacking and tying up Patty's partner, Stephen Weed, before grabbing the 19-year-old, dragging her outside and pushing her into the boot of a car.

Neighbours reported seeing Patty struggling as she was carried away, blindfolded. They were powerless to help her as the kidnappers began firing shots into the street and around them to cover their escape.

And so began one of the strangest kidnappings in American history.

Patty had been kidnapped by a virtually unknown revolutionary group known as the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA). The domestic terrorists had already shot two Oakland school officials with cyanide-tipped bullets, killing one and wounding the other.

Then the strangest thing of all; a few weeks later, Patty stunned the nation when she was photographed holding a machine gun as the group robbed a bank in San Francisco.

***

On February 7, the SLA contacted a Californian radio station, announcing it was keeping Patty as a "prisoner of war" and demanding the Hearst family hand over $70 worth of food to every needy person from Santa Rosa to Los Angeles.

If this demand was carried out, the SLA said they'd begin negotiations for Patty's return. But when Randolph Hearst gave away $2 million worth of food, the SLA claimed this was not enough and asked for $6 million more.

This led to the Hearst Corporation agreeing to donate the extra food if Patty was safely released. In April, the drama took a fascinating turn when CCTV footage captured Patty participating in the armed robbery of a bank, as well as helping with the robbery of a Los Angeles store.

The reasoning behind the SLA's decision to kidnap Patty was simple; she came from a rich, powerful family and they knew her disappearance would be front-page news around the world.

Once Patty was in their clutches, the SLA began brainwashing her, hoping to turn her into a "poster child" for their planned revolution.

The brainwashing seemed to work. In April, the group released a tape to the media, featuring Patty confirming she'd joined their fight to free the oppressed and changed her name to 'Tania'. She also explained she had joined the SLA of her own free will.

Two weeks later, Patty was seen on bank surveillance cameras wielding an assault weapon during an SLA bank robbery. She also yelled directions at terrified bystanders and provided cover to her SLA colleagues.

The FBI launched one of the biggest manhunts in US history to track down the SLA and rescue Patty.

On May 16, two SLA members had attempted to steal weapons and other equipment from a gun store, but they managed to get out without being caught. But, luckily the groups' getaway car was found, leading police to an SLA "safe house."

That night, police managed to raid the SLA's secret headquarters, where a massive shootout took place. Six of the SLA were killed, including the leader, Donald DeFreeze, an African American ex-prisoner who was also known as "General Field Marshal Cinque." But neither Patty nor two other SLA members were on the premises during the police raid, so the hunt continued.

It wasn't until September 18, 1975, that Patty was finally captured in a San Francisco apartment and arrested for armed robbery.

Patty's rescue was a relief for her family, but even though she defended herself by saying she'd been brainwashed by the SLA, she was sentenced to seven years behind bars for her role in the bank robbery.

However, after serving just 21 months, her sentence was officially commuted by US President Jimmy Carter. The last two members of the SLA were arrested in 1999 and 2002.

After her release from prison, Patty returned to her usual life, and later married police officer Bernard Shaw. The couple has two daughters, Gillian and Lydia.

In 2001, she was officially pardoned by President Bill Clinton.

One of the most fascinating aspects of the kidnapping was Patty's switch from victim to supporter, sparking countless psychological studies. The transition in Patty's behaviour with the SLA has been widely attributed to the psychological phenomenon known as 'Stockholm syndrome', where victims start feeling positive towards their captors.

Stockholm Syndrome occurs when the victims' initially terrifying experience is later countered with "acts of compassion or camaraderie by those same individuals."

There have been multiple films and documentaries made about Patty's dramatic kidnapping, including The Ordeal of Patty Hearst, Patty Hearst, Guerrilla: The Taking of Patty Hearst and the more recent documentary The Radical Story of Patty Hearst.

The Jabra Elite Active 65t are some of the best true wireless headphones we've tested, with the bonus feature of being water-resistant. And even better, they earned our Best Value accolades for costing 100 less than the (not designed for running) AirPods Pro.

Still, if you're looking for a less-spendy gift alternative, the MPow Flame earbuds cost less than 30 and have plenty of great reviews. We put them to the test in our labs and found they could play music while submerged underwater for 30 minutes. They have a wire that connects the two earbuds together, so they're not truly wireless, but they're an awesome value and a proven performer.

Surprise: To get stronger (and faster) as a runner, it's essential to build muscle, not just pound pavement.

This set of resistance bands is a space-friendly and budget-friendly option.

The Instant Pot ticks those boxes, besting all other pressure cookers on our tests. It whips up delicious one-pot meals, perfect for eating right away and freezing into portions for later.

For a budget-friendlier option, the Instant Pot Duo 6 Qt 7-in-1 Pressure Cooker is a great choice, too, lacking some of the customization of the Ultra but none of the joy of (large-batch) cooking.

To keep us safe, our brain has about "five times the wiring for the negative, so you have to really practice the positive," Ackrill said. That means frequent doses of uplifting thoughts are needed to strengthen those positive neural connections.

And here's the good news: Studies of twins finds only about 25% of our optimism is programmed by our genes. The rest is up to us and how we respond to life's lemons (including election uncertainty).

"There is research which indicates that optimism can actually be enhanced or nurtured through certain kinds of training," said Davidson, from the Center for Healthy Minds, in a prior CNN interview. He found it only took 30 minutes a day of meditation practice over the course of two weeks to produce a measurable change in the brain.

"When these kinds of mental exercises are taught to people, it actually changes the function and the structure of their brain in ways that we think support these kinds of positive qualities," Davidson said.

Ways to grow your optimism include keeping a journal of positives and taking a few minutes each day to write down what makes you thankful. A number of studies have shown that practicing gratefulness improves positive coping skills by breaking the typical negative-thinking style and substituting optimism.

One of Davidson's favorite mindfulness exercises cultivates appreciation.

"Simply to bring to mind people that are in our lives from whom we have received some kind of help," Davidson said. "Bring them to mind and appreciate the care and support or whatever it might be that these individuals have provided."

"You can spend one minute each morning and each evening doing this," he said. "And that kind of appreciation is something that can foster a sense of optimism about the future."
