Pinned Post: Easy Stitches Deisigns

Welcome everyone to Easy Stitches Designs!

Who am I?

My name is Clara, it is nice to meet you all.

I started cross stitching when I was about 6 or 7 years old - I was a hyperactive child in need of socialization. My grandmother had the idea of sending me to the local charity, where women and children would cross stitch patterns to turn into trinkets to sell out and donate the income for the homeless and the poor. I learned the craft, although I did not do much of it later in life. Come quarantine and I am in furlough. Whilst looking for something to pass the time, my grandmother calls me and talks to me of the times I used to do cross stitching. I have received several encouragement words and started again this craft - and it felt as if time never cancelled what I learned. And now, in Lockdown 3.0, I had enough courage to embark myself into this adventure, hoping it will last.

What am I offering?

Well, within this blog you will find several cross-stitching tutorials for beginners, as well as tidbits on projects and wips I am intending to show you all and some promo for the newest items in my shop. Of course my ask box is always open and should you have any question please feel free to drop by!

This shop offers cross-stitched trinkets, pattern booklets, ornaments, greeting cards - it is the perfect corner for any gift ideas! And you can customize most of the items to suit what you are looking for!

Liquefied Petroleum Gas Market Size, Share, Growth, Analysis Forecast to 2030

Liquefied Petroleum Gas Industry Overview

The global liquefied petroleum gas market size was estimated at USD 117.3 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7% from 2023 to 2030.

Growing awareness about the benefits correlated to the usage of LPG to substitute fossil fuels and the rising adoption of clean and green energy sources across developed and developing countries are some of the factors likely to boost the LPG market’s growth. Additionally, technological aspects coupled with the growing number of initiatives taken by governments to educate the rural people to substitute LPG with traditional cooking fuels such as kerosene, wood, and coal which is likely to play a vital role in the industry’s growth.

Gather more insights about the market drivers, restrains and growth of the Liquefied Petroleum Gas Market

The growing population and increasing demand for liquefied petroleum gas as a vehicle emission gas are likely to boost the growth of the market. Besides, the high cost of installation related to liquefaction process equipment and technology may affect the demand and can confine the growth of the market during the projection timeframe. Rise in government initiatives across countries such as India, Indonesia, and China to inspire liquefied petroleum gas applications on account of its prolonged benefits as a cooking fuel are anticipated to boost the market growth over the upcoming years.

In the United Kingdom., LPG is gradually being considered as a striking option for commercial assets joined with low-carbon and renewable technologies to assimilate a consistent year with round-the-clock electricity supply with carbon savings. The improving R&D in the liquefied petroleum gas industry is projected to propel the market growth in the upcoming years.

LPG has appeared as one of the key fuel sources in commercial and residential segments for heating and cooking applications substituting conventional fuel sources such as wood and coal. However, it could be ascribed to the many benefits such as easy accessibility, non-toxic, clean, convenient, portable, and cost-efficient as compared to other fuels such as wood and coal.

The surge in the population across regions like Africa, Asia Pacific, and Central & South America is projected to fuel up the demand during the projection timeframe as the residents in the subsequent regions use LPG as cooking fuel. For instance, in India, over 60%-75% of household activities such as heating and cooking are done by using liquefied petroleum gas.

The abrupt onset of the COVID-19 pandemic caused a decrease in demand for liquefied petroleum gas in the commercial sector. However, the increase in demand owing to the rise in consumption of LPG for cooking due the situations like lockdowns contributed to the demand. Moreover, the usage of liquefied petroleum gas across industrial, commercial, and transportation is projected to create demand across the region.

Numerous market players are now expected to pursue opportunities past the traditional markets and supply to the demand for LPG across the regions. Since, the demand for LPG continued to deteriorate in Europe owed to the COVID-19 outburst, in April 2020, Russia’s largest petrochemical company Sibur capitalized on the prospect to enter into a new market by delivering two cargoes of LPG to India.

Evolving Equine Healthcare Practices - From Stable to Clinic

The global equine healthcare market size is anticipated to reach USD 4.37 billion by 2030. Increasing product R&D, demand for equine diagnostics, investments by key industry stakeholders, and the rising prevalence of diseases in horses are some of the major factors contributing to the market growth. For instance, in September 2021, the U.S. Department of Agriculture invested around USD 3.0 billion in the animal nutrition and health sector.

The Covid-19 pandemic had a notable impact, particularly on the horse racing/ sports sector. It led to reduced access to equine care services and the cancelation of equine shows. Teaching, training, competitions, events, tourism-related activities, and recreational activities were all discontinued as a result of COVID-19. Horse racing was adversely impacted across the world, along with the demand for horse boarding. Only Sweden continued to hold races within the EU. According to a survey conducted by Hippolia, French Equine Industry Cluster, 68.8% of respondents believed the recovery of the shortfall is impossible, and all equine competitions have been discontinued. A total of USD 385.89 million in sport horse losses were incurred as per estimates. However, the market recovered in 2021 owing to easing lockdown measures and improved access to equine healthcare.

Growing technological advancement, R&D, and initiatives by market players in equine diagnostics are key factors driving the market. For instance, according to a July 2022 article published by the American Veterinary Medical Association, a study was carried out to assess the diagnostic performance of a unique helical fan beam-based CT utilized for imaging horses with clinical head and neck complications. A total of over 120 horses were involved, and the medical records of those who had undergone head or neck CT scans at two university hospitals were examined. Age, sex, breed, the primary complaint, the amount of sedation utilized, the length of the operation, the use of any further diagnostic imaging techniques, the imaging diagnosis, the clinical diagnosis, and any imaging-related problems were all noted. The CT system proved to have short scanning times and reliable utility for regular imaging of horses' teeth and sinuses. 

Furthermore, the rising prevalence of diseases in horses is another factor propelling the market growth. West Nile Virus, for instance, was positively identified in a 10-year-old unvaccinated Quarter Horse stallion in Nevada County who was exhibiting transient fever and neurological symptoms by the California Department of Food and Agriculture in September 2022. This was the 8th confirmed case of the equine WNV in California in 2022. Other positive cases were identified in six counties: three in Kern, one in Nevada, one in Sacramento, one in San Luis Obispo, one in Tehama, and three in Tulare. This is expected to promote awareness regarding equine diseases while fueling demand for timely vaccination of horses.

Zlobnicima stigla bolna doza realnosti! Ovo je istina o početku sezone: ‘Mogli bi se gadno razočarati’

‘Sve je preskupo, turisti šokirani, Austrijanci i Nijemci otkazuju rezervacije, u Hrvatsku je ušlo nikad manje turista’, naslovi su koji se ovih dana mogu pročitati u mainstream medijima i prepisivačima od istih. Nije to ništa neobično, dovoljna je jedna minuta pretraživanja u Google tražilici da se uoči jasan obrazac kako se svake godine uoči i početkom sezone iz nekog razloga objavljuju katastrofični naslovi i uzimaju izjave “stručnjaka” koji najavljuju propast sezone. Prethodne dvije godine tako su Hrvate koji žive od turizma i kojim pune državni proračun plašili da će sezona krahirati zbog slabe procijepljenosti cjepivom protiv koronavirusa, zbog toga što je Hrvatska u “crvenoj zoni” zaraženih istim virusom, a otkad je Hrvatske piše se i komentira o lošoj usluzi, prekratkoj sezoni i slaboj ponudi.    

Raj za ekipu sa Zapada

No, svemu tomu usprkos, Hrvatska se baš u vrijeme svjetske pandemije do kraja profilirala kao top turistička destinacija, a prema posjećenosti i novcu koji se slio u blagajne turističkih djelatnika, ugostitelja i iznajmljivača te na koncu u državnu kasu, potvrdili smo da smo najpoželjnija destinacija za turiste sa Zapada. Ove godine se nakon inflacije nastale emitiranjem velike količine novca zbog lockdown politika i epidemijskih mjera, rata u Ukrajini te činjenice da je Hrvatska uvela euro baš u kritičnim trenucima za svjetsko gospodarstvo došlo do velikih i turbulentnih promjena te su cijene gotovo svega dosta veće nego prije. No, tako je svugdje i samo se nojevi mogu čuditi činjenici da je kava skuplja nego prošle ili prije dvije godine, a ekonomski analitičari i komentatori to su u nekoliko navrata objasnili i za naš portal.  

‘Sve je to normalno’

Ipak, u javnosti se često razum izgubi u kakofoniji informacija pa se tako zaboravlja što je bilo jučer i kako smo došli do onoga gdje smo danas. Bilo kako bilo, prema najnovijim informacijama koje možete pročitati u meinastream medijima i ova sezona će navodno propasti. Mario Nakić s portala Liberal.hr za naš je portal dao svoj pogled na stvari kakav nećete pročitati u mainstream medijima.   “Cijene su uvijek realne. Normalno je da iznajmljivači prvo pokušavaju iznajmiti svoje apartmane po višoj cijeni, a onda, ako ne uspiju, snižavaju cijenu dok ne prođe. To je sasvim prirodan put u toj i sličnim branšama, ali mnogi novinari se svake godine tome čude i iz toga izvlače zaključke o propasti sezone, što nema veze s razumom. Svake godine ista priča i svake godine na kraju ispadne da je turizam bio rekordan. Ovo sad su standardne histerije i manipulacije u medijima. Srećom, Hrvatska je toliko snažna ljetna destinacija da ju ni najjača medijska antikampanja ne može poraziti. Treba pričekati rujan pa onda vidjeti konkretne brojke. Mnogi bi se mogli gadno razočarati, kao, uostalom, i svake godine”, rekao je.

‘Ako ti je pizza preskupa, napravi je sam’

A kako komentira izjave pojedinaca, ako oni uopće postoje ili su imaginarni prijatelji pojedinaca iz nekih redakcija, o tome kako su cijene kave, pizze i ostalog skuplje? “Svatko može izabrati da zaobiđe skuplji kafić i ode tamo gdje je kava jeftinija. Ako je nekome kava u svakom kafiću preskupa, može je skuhati doma. Ako ti je pizza u restoranu preskupa, napravi je sam. Ta cijena u tom kafiću očito je realna jer netko tamo izlazi na kavu. Da nema gostiju koji su to spremni platiti, ugostitelj bi snizio cijenu. Ne vidim problem”, rekao je Nakić.   A što se tiče samih brojeva, podaci Državnog zavoda za statistiku pokazuju da je tijekom travnja 2023. u turističkim smještajnim objektima ostvaren 1.1 milijun dolazaka i 3.0 milijuna noćenja turista, što je za 31 posto više dolazaka i za 20.4 posto više noćenja turista u odnosu na travanj 2022. Ako laže Državni zavod za statistiku, lažemo i mi.

Neke stvari treba jasno reći

Dalje, profesor s ekonomskog fakulteta u Splitu Željko Garača izjavio je da je četiri puta manje turista prešlo hrvatsku granicu što je izazvalo alarm u javnosti. No, profesor se dobrano prevario jer je zaboravio da je Hrvatska usla u Schengen te MUP na granicama više ne evidentira ulaske iz zemalja članica Schengena. Tako da se ulasci naših najčešćih stranih turista zapravo ne evidentiraju u MUP-u kao takvom, a podatke o ulascima vodi Hrvatska turistička zajednica koja najavljuje da bi sezona trebala biti zadovoljavajuća. Ne ulazeći u stvarne probleme koje kao turistička zemlja imamo, u činjenice kako su mnogi koji žive od turizma taj posao počeli uzimati zdravo za gotovo, neke stvari treba jasno reći. Ne, nikakva alarmantna situacija nije na početku turističke sezone i cijene koje su trenutno na Jadranu nekome mogu biti previsoke, nekome ne. Tko može, neka prošeta nekom plažom i provjeri kakvo je stanje na terenu, a savjetujemo da se ponekog ‘lokalca’ upita gdje je povoljnije popiti kavicu nego u centru turističke meke.

Here we go kids, start up the BoJo Roundabout, 2021 edition!

January 3rd:

January 4th:

[afrofuturiststudent]

06/03/21: I started my new job this week and have been trying to squeeze in some editing in the evenings. I'm not sure when I'll be done with my PhD but I'll get there... slowly

[lesbiansandgayssupporttheminers]

If there were 20 teens playing football in next door’s garden, you’d probably be a bit pissed off right now!

But it’s fine for 20 teens to spend 9-3 in a classroom without proper social distancing, not wearing masks. They took a LFT on Monday and it’s negative, but it’s Friday now.

They’re interacting with probably a rotating cast of staff members, probably at least up to 10 adults each week. The adult is probably wearing a mask some of the time, but not distancing properly. There’s other bubbles of kids in the school, and in theory they don’t interact, but in reality, they do.

Some of those kids are probably getting public transport to school each day. Some of them will probably be going to the supermarket or the corner shop. All of them live with other people, who interact with the wider community.

People are being told to stay at home unless it’s absolutely essential they go out in lots of areas with concerns about the new variant- I think we need to talk about how 100% essential it is to have these teens in school.

In April, we had <20 kids coming in each day. Now we probably have 20 per year group. In a mainstream secondary school, there are a very small proportion of children who can’t stay at home without childcare AND have a parent working outside the home right now. And in most cases there are a very small proportion of children who do need regular contact with school for safeguarding reasons.

No child is going to be harmed if they do no schoolwork for 7 weeks (which is the real reason a lot of these kids are in). They face a very real risk of harm if they catch Covid in school and pass it around their family.
