Steve Lowell is a multi-award-winning global speaker, three-time #1 best-selling author, and founder of The High-Impact Speakers’ Showcase. His wife Jayne has her own accomplishments to boast, including her successful career in international business and sales. As the former co-owner of a clothing manufacturing company that did over $11 million in sales, she has become Steve’s partner in creating a seamless client experience. Jayne’s expertise in business mentorship, specifically her 7-figure mindset framework, enabled Steve to scale his training business into a 7-figure enterprise. Steve and Jayne’s connection has enabled the pair to build a multi-million dollar business and help others discover their love of speaking. Since opening their training and mentorship company, Steve has taught countless coaches, consultants, and global changemakers how to deliver the most inspiring message possible. With Jayne’s business acumen, these clients have also gained access to hundreds of speaker leads through the resources she provides. This continuous high-touch support enables the Lowells’ clients to continue uplifting audiences with stories of success, failure, and perseverance. Since Steve has always loved the stage, he handles client training. His background as a musician which began at the age of six has prepared him to handle all kinds of people and situations with ease. Steve’s years of experience refining his speaking skills and grounding them in neuroscience have also propelled him to become one of the best public speaking instructors out there.

Common Casino Myths and Superstitions in the UK

Acroud Media

Most casino myths and superstitions harmless, but some can lead to players making bad decisions and landing themselves in big trouble. To try and stop you from making these same mistakes, we’ve gone through some of the most common casino myths and superstitions and debunked them! Myth #1: Online casinos are rigged Unsurprisingly, this is the most common myth about online casinos. When your luck takes a bad turn, you’ll be tempted to blame it on cheating or malicious unseen entities, but that’s simply not true. Most online casinos are licensed by trusted regulation bodies like the MGA, KGC and UKGC, who all hold online casinos to strict fairness standards. Some, like the KGC, even require licensees to submit to independent fairness and RNG (random number generation) testing to prove their games aren’t rigged. If you’re feeling scorned by an online casino, check for that seal of fairness guarantee before you start throwing blame around. Popular fairness testers include eCOGRA, iTech Labs and GLI. Myth #2: You can beat the house edge It may sound a little weird, but when playing at casinos, it’s important to remember that in the long run, not all players can win. It’s mathematically impossible. This is because of a little thing called the house edge. The house edge is the concrete advantage a casino has in games to ensure it turns a profit for purposes of paying staff, renting games, domain and security costs, etc. In online gambling, we sometimes refer to this as payout percentage or RTP, but it’s all the same thing. And you cannot beat it. Understanding house edge and working around it to your advantage is possible. But, when the chips are down, there is no way to beat it completely. It is important to note that this also applies to brick and mortar casinos. Myth #3: You can tell when a slot machine is about to pay out. You see many renditions of this one, and they’re usually nonsense or outright scams. Slots are designed to be random, so you can’t tell when they will or won’t pay out. The human brain is designed to find patterns whether they exist or not, so it’s only natural that we’d become convinced slot machines are predictable. But the truth is simply that they aren’t. Slots run on random number generators specifically to avoid these patterns and are regularly tested to make sure they stay that way. This ensures fairness on both the house and the player's parts. Therefore, don’t get hung up on a slot waiting for it to finally pay out because “you can tell it’s about to happen.” And steer clear of anyone trying to convince you otherwise. If you are a big slot fan check out the best free slot no deposit offers here. Myth #4: Don’t use a player's card to track your winnings. You’ll often see people warning against using a player's card when gambling because they claim casinos track your progress and tighten the odds when you start winning too much. This is false. Player’s cards are tools casinos use to track a player’s casino activity; this much is true. However, this isn’t to keep players from getting payouts but to tally loyalty points and offer appropriate rewards and promotions. Not using your player's card could cause you to lose out on fantastic perks, thanks to superstitious anxiety. If you need proof, look at online casinos. By their nature, you can’t play at an online casino without a trackable account. Yet, many players still win money online. Myth #5: Never cross your legs at the casino Here’s a light-hearted superstition. While crossing your fingers is a symbol of good luck, crossing your legs is the opposite. Some people believe that crossing your legs “crosses out” good luck and causes you to lose more. Obviously, this is just superstition, like black cats and broken mirrors. There’s zero evidence that crossing your legs impacts your chances of winning. However, this one is entirely harmless. So, like wearing lucky socks or blowing on your dice, if it makes you happy, go for it. Myth #6: Never talk about bad luck at the casino We see this everywhere. In the theatre, you say break a leg, you never mention rain on your wedding day, and you don’t talk about bad luck at a casino. You’ve probably heard some form of warding against jinxes; the idea that mentioning something you don’t want to happen makes it more likely to happen. There’s little need for me to tell you this is just a myth, but it might get you a few stink eyes if you mention it. Either way, it’s better to stay positive even when your luck does take a downturn. We gamble to have fun, not to win, and talking about bad luck will just bring you down. Myth #7: Always bet the same amount In a way, this one makes sense. When trying to keep your odds from fluctuating, you want to keep as many variables steady as possible. But this isn’t a variable that will affect anything other than your wallet. The amount you bet is purely incidental to the outcome of the game. In fact, you probably should vary how much you bet depending on the game, the wager and your bankroll. Myth #8: Never leave a winning table Just because you or others have been winning big at a table doesn’t mean anything. Winning once doesn’t mean you’re going to win again, and in fact, it might just pull you into a dangerous thought process where you’re convinced any losses will quickly come back. A table is a table, and luck comes and goes regardless of it. If you need to leave a table, do so. If you’re enjoying yourself and have enough money to keep going, stay. It’s as simple as that. Myth #9: Never count your money at the table This is like counting your chickens before your eggs have hatched. Some people believe it’s bad luck to focus too much on your numbers, once again jinxing progress and all that. Of course, this is just another myth and bad practice to boot. We actively recommend keeping track of your money as you play so you can follow your winnings and losses and avoid going over budget. Myth #10: You should always chase your losses We left the most important one for last. This is the myth that leads to gambling problems and overspending. As we’ve already discussed, you can’t concretely win at a casino. The house always wins in the long run, and chasing your losses will just lead to you losing more. If you’re losing money at an uncomfortable rate, the best thing to do is to stop and walk away. It can be useful to have someone with you to help enforce this mindset if you struggle with it, and strict budgets are good, too. Conclusion Gambling and casinos are about the thrill of risk and having fun; don’t let these myths and superstitions hold you back from that! Some are harmless, sure, but remembering that they’re all untrue can help you have a good time in the long run. Always stay informed and level-headed while playing, and you shouldn’t run into any issues. Most of these myths apply to brick and mortar casinos, if you would prefer to play table games in the comfort of your own home, check out the best live casinos UK, learn more here.

Milestone Year for Pocono Organics

Pocono Organics

Pocono Organics, one of the largest Regenerative Organic Certified ® (ROC) vegetable farms in North America, continued to earn notable achievements throughout 2023 creating awareness for the Regenerative Organic industry by innovative product development as well as being a travel destination for those looking for unique agri-tourism opportunities. Recognized as a Global Center for Research, Education, and Innovation, Pocono Organics achieved monumental Regenerative Organic Certified ® Silver status in December through its enhanced Regenerative Organic practices. “We are extremely proud to have reached ROC Silver status, said Ashley Walsh, President and Founder of Pocono Organics. “Our farm team worked very hard to increase our crop rotations and add additional Regenerative Organic farming practices such as creating a pollinator path, integrating compost management and maintaining grassed waterways and retention ponds on the farm. We also welcomed chickens as our first livestock to the farm.” “Since Pocono Organics reached Bronze level certification as producers of the world’s first Regenerative Organic Certified ® hemp, we have been inspired by the continued evolution of their exemplary commitments to Regenerative Organic farming,” said Elizabeth Whitlow, Executive Director of the Regenerative Organic Alliance. “Their rapid ascent to Silver level certification is applauded and well deserved. It shows the depth of their dedication to farming like the world depends on it!” Pocono Organics also earned NEXTY Award Finalist honors from New Hope Network in the Best New Innovation Experience category September 21 st at the 2023 Expo East in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the farm’s hemp microgreen powder. “It was an honor to join such an amazing collection of NEXTY Award Finalists and I am so proud of our team for all of their work that brought this from idea to reality,” said Ashley Walsh, President and Founder of Pocono Organics. “Microgreens are incredibly nutrient dense as the University of Maryland did a study that found microgreens can have up to 40-times the nutritional value as their mature counterparts. This soil-based crop is also environmentally sound to produce taking seven to 14 days to grow and requiring a fraction of the water and labor efforts to grow. What’s more, microgreens are an extremely versatile nutrient dense source in powdered form, making it easy to incorporate into soups, smoothies, baked goods, sauces as well as other beverages.” The farm also succeeded in being awarded the USDA Value Added Producer Grant tosupport its vertical integration strategy for the microgreens powder products through the purchase of processing and packaging equipment. Walsh and her team have been focused on scaling up microgreen production for a growing list of interested natural food retailers as well as companies looking to use the microgreens as a source ingredient for existing or new products. “The USDA grant was a great opportunity for us to apply for funds that would truly help us acquire the equipment needed to become vertically integrated and offer more year round employment opportunities,” Walsh said. Adding, “This will greatly reduce our carbon footprint and expand our sustainability efforts as we to take our product from seed to market in a way that will allow us to grow with the interest we are seeing from companies in the natural food market.” Finishing out the progressive year, the 2023 Regenerative Travel Impact Awards September 20 th in New York recognized the 380-acre agritourism farm as a finalist in its Food & Agriculture category. The short-list of leaders included were recognized for pioneering travel destination efforts to revolutionize our eating habits and redefine how society sources and cultivates its food. Beyond growing nutrient-dense ROC vegetables, Pocono Organics includes an organic market and scratch kitchen led by Executive Chef, Lindsay McClain, who is also a Food Network Chopped Champion. Chef Lindsay’s zero-waste approach and creativeness in her Food Innovation Lab has led the farm’s café to put its mark on farm-to-table meals. Pocono Organics also leverages its sister-company, The Village at Pocono, as an agrotourism destination for guests looking for unique experiences and locations that fuse agriculture and food. The 56-room boutique resort includes rooms with full kitchens that can utilize Pocono Organics’ farm-to-room service where guests can order fresh produce in advance and have their refrigerators stocked upon their arrival. “We were honored to be recognized by Regenerative Travel,” Walsh said. “We want to bring people into conversations and experiences where they can learn about the power of food for human health and how regenerative organic agricultural practices can help heal our earth. There is a direct tie between soil health and human health and the clock is ticking for both planet and people. That is why we are so passionate about this type of farming using these farming methods and will continue to be a resource for people who want to be or want to learn how to be part of the solution.” About Pocono Organics Pocono Organics is a health and wellness organization with a mission to inspire people and heal the earth. The Global Center for Research, Education, and Innovation is one of the largest Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) vegetable farms in North America and grows the worldâs first ROC hemp.

News Release

unClassic Foods is Changing the Narrative Around Plant-Based Protein With Specialty Mushroom

Prodigy Press Wire

The global meat substitute industry has grown to more than $14.1 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $17.4 billion in 2027, according to research by global business consulting firm EY. Despite this, consumption of plant-based protein still pales compared to animal meat. There are numerous obstacles to widespread adoption of meat substitutes such as sub-par products, unfamiliarity, or cultural reluctance. Luiza Villela, a food scientist and founder of unClassic Foods, says the main reason so-called meat substitutes are not selling as well as expected is because most consumers don’t have a problem eating meat and, in fact, love eating it. Therefore, there is no hurry for the public to stop its meat intake making it extremely hard to convince them to exchange something they like for something they don't like or aren’t familiar with. Villela also noticed that most people see meat alternatives as an inferior product, and that many meat substitute companies feed into this narrative by benchmarking their products against meat, which is considered the golden standard. With products including the likes of plant-based “meatballs” or “chicken”, mimicking even the appearance of meat, giving them the impression that plant-based protein is “fake meat” or lesser than the golden standard. unClassic Foods seeks to challenge this by going the opposite way – by presenting its specialty mushroom products as something that is of superior stature to meat. Currently, unClassic Foods has two products – mushroom steak tips and mushroom nuggets. These are made from high-quality whole oyster mushrooms and are pre-seasoned and pre-cooked, so consumers just need to heat them up or mix with their favorite dishes and serve. Villela aims to raise the profile of mushroom as a main protein source to the point that people would choose it on its own merits rather because of how similar it was to meat. “People don't like inauthenticity. So, if you are selling something that mimics something else, it is really hard to not be the “fake version” of it.” Villela says. “Our specialty mushrooms are not meat alternatives. Instead, they are a new center of the plate. Whenever people think about a meal, they naturally gravitate towards the protein, such as chicken, beef, fish, pork. We are positioning mushrooms as another member of the main protein category. Mushrooms will be at the center of the plate as the protagonist of the dish.” In the future, unClassic Foods seeks to expand its operations, initially targeting food service clients in the fast casual dining category in California. After that, it will target the retail segment, bringing its mushrooms to a wider audience through major supermarkets’ shelves. “Mushrooms definitely have the potential to be a new center of the plate, because it has the presence, texture, and umami flavor the people like, without having to pretend to be meat,” Villela says. “Most people only think about white buttons or champignon when it comes to mushrooms, but there is much more, with specialty mushrooms only making up 2% of the US market. We use a special variant of oyster mushrooms that has around 13% protein, compared to only 3% for regular mushrooms. We also do not add any isolates or concentrates, instead using the entire flower of the mushroom, not just the stems and other byproducts.” Despite hailing from Brazil, a country well known for its meat, Villela became vegan both for health reasons and out of concern for the animals being used in the livestock industry. However, she also recognizes that eating meat has been part of human life and culture for thousands of years, and reducing meat intake is a gradual process that cannot be forced. After finishing her degree in biology at University of California, Berkeley, she has worked for several meat and dairy substitute producers, including the global market leader. Throughout her career she saw flaws in the messaging and presentation of the products, which she seeks to correct with unClassic Foods. “The way the industry tries to convince people to change their diets is by mentioning the environment,” she says. “However, this is completely abstract, and the bottom line is, no one cares. Very few people go to the grocery thinking about the environment when they're buying food. No one says 'I'm definitely going to stop eating steak' when they see that a particular meat substitute product uses 90% less land and 90% less water than beef. People don't necessarily need something to be exactly like meat. If it's delicious and it's truly healthier for them, they will make the change.” Media contact: Name: Luiza Villela Email: luiza@unclassicfoods.com Release ID: 807203
