He said last month that Twitter was “roughly breaking even.The Thursday night firing indicates that Musk is taking the reigns quickly and forcefully, and will be closely involved in making decisions about content and management decisision. He also said he would “defeat” spam bots on the platform, a key area of his tussle with Twitter’s board over his back and forth on the buyout of the company. Musk, a self-proclaimed “free speech absolutist,” has said he took over Twitter to prevent the platform from becoming an echo chamber for hate and division. He quickly fired Twitter’s previous CEO, Parag Agrawal, and other senior leaders, and then laid off half its staff in November. The billionaire’s first two weeks as Twitter’s owner in October were marked by rapid change. In a Twitter poll started by Musk in December, 57.5% users voted for him to step down as CEO of the social media platform. Musk has long said he intended to find a new leader for Twitter.

Step-by-step instructions Mash bananas and mix with yogurt and baking soda in a small bowl. Toppings: Cream cheese frosting, orange glaze, Nutella.Fruit additions: raisins or cranberries, blueberries dusted in flour (so they don’t sink).Add-in options: chocolate chips for chocolate banana bread, chopped toasted walnuts or pecans for banana nut bread, or toffee/skor pieces.If your bananas aren’t super sweet or you prefer sweeter, use more sugar. This is all personal preference of course. Sweetness: Some recipes use more sugar than is called for in this recipe, but I find that too sweet when using very ripe bananas.Gluten-free version: Use a 1:1 gluten-free flour.Replace 1 tablespoon of flour with 1 tablespoon of flaxseed for added fiber, protein, vitamin B1 and Omega-3 fatty acids.Don’t use all whole wheat flour because the banana bread will be too dense and the taste will be altered. Use half all-purpose flour and half whole wheat flour.A hint is plenty or you’ll disguise the banana flavor. ![]() Flavor options: try adding a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg.The loaf may have a slight coconut taste though. Update: a reader tried it and it worked! You can also substitute the butter with coconut oil in the same amount if you like. I never tried this, but I read it in a recipe and the author swears by it. Apparently, the butter can be replaced with 1/2 cup mayonnaise.Replace the yogurt (or sour cream) with 1/2 cup extra mashed bananas or unsweetened applesauce for a lower-calorie option.The brown sugar adds great flavor but it can be replaced with white sugar if needed.Don’t use bread flour as it will make the banana loaf dense. This adds moisture to the banana bread.įlour: Use all-purpose flour (or see variations below). One banana in the picture above is black because it was frozen – that’s ok. The riper, the sweeter (although not black to the point they are fermenting). Bananas: Use overripe bananas that are turning brown and very soft – almost squishy. ![]() ![]() Together with the control of the Amorites, this conquest marked the end of Sumerian culture. The list of laws also featured recommended punishments to ensure that every citizen had the right to the same justice. Hammurabi’s innovation was not just writing down the laws for everyone to see, but making sure that everyone throughout the empire followed the same legal codes, and that governors in different areas did not enact their own. Hammurabi’s most famous contribution is his list of laws, better known as the Code of Hammurabi, devised around 1772 B.C. Hammurabi worked to expand the empire, and the Babylonians were almost continually at war. Kings were considered deities and the most famous of these was Hammurabi, who ruled 1792–1750 B.C. The BabyloniansĬhoosing Babylon as the capital, the Amorites took control and established Babylonia. Ur-Namma was attacked by both the Elamites and the Amorites and defeated in 2004 B.C. Under Ur-Namma, the first code of law in recorded history, The Code of Ur-Nammu, appeared. The ruler of Ur-Namma, the king of the city of Ur, brought Sumerians back into control after Utu-hengal, the leader of the city of Uruk, defeated the Gutians. the city of Ur attempted to establish a dynasty for a new empire. The Gutian rule is considered a disorderly one that caused a severe downturn in the empire’s prospects. The final king of the Akkadian Empire, Shar-kali-sharri, died in 2193 B.C., and Mesopotamia went through a century of unrest, with different groups struggling for control.Īmong these groups were the Gutian people, barbarians from the Zagros Mountains. Under Sargon, trade beyond Mesopotamian borders grew, and architecture became more sophisticated, notably the appearance of ziggurats, flat-topped buildings with a pyramid shape and steps. Sargon expanded his empire through military means, conquering all of Sumer and moving into what is now Syria. When the city of Uruk invaded Kish, Sargon took Kish from Uruk and was encouraged to continue with conquest. He was at one point an officer who worked for the king of Kish, and Akkadia was a city that Sargon himself established. Little is known of Sargon’s background, but legends give him a similar origin to the Biblical story of Moses. It was considered the world’s first multicultural empire with a central government. under the leadership of the now-titled Sargon the Great. The Akkadian Empire existed from 2234-2154 B.C. They were briefly allies, conquering the city of Kish together, but Lugalzagesi’s mercenary Akkadian army was ultimately loyal to Sargon. King Lugalzagesi was the final king of Sumer, falling to Sargon of Akkad, a Semitic people, in 2334 B.C. For when the gods created man, they let death be his share, and life withheld in their own hands." When his friend is slain, Gilgamesh goes on a quest to discover the secret of eternal life, finding: "Life, which you look for, you will never find. In the epic poem, Gilgamesh goes on an adventure with a friend to the Cedar Forest, the land of the Gods in Mesopotamian mythology. The Epic of Gilgamesh is considered to be the earliest great work of literature and the inspiration for some of the stories in the Bible. Gilgamesh is believed to have been born in Uruk around 2700 B.C. See the full statement from the Science and Security Board on the 2018 time of the Doomsday Clock.Gilgamesh, the legendary subject of the Epic of Gilgamesh, is said to be Lugalbanda’s son.

The Patriots had hosted free-agent receiver DeAndre Hopkins on a visit earlier in June, and Parker's deal doesn't appear to be related to the team's decision-making process on Hopkins. He projects as a front-line contributor alongside free agent signing JuJu Smith-Schuster, with seven-year veteran Kendrick Bourne and second-year speedster Tyquan Thornton also high on the depth chart. The 6-foot-3, 219-pound Parker was an effective perimeter option in his first season with the Patriots and particularly showed up in 2023 spring practices on slant routes over the middle. The deal is expected to have a similar structure in 20, according to a source. But he will have an opportunity to match the $5.7 million if he hits all per-game roster bonuses and can exceed the $5.7 million if he reaches incentives for performance, playing time and All-Pro honors. The Patriots had inherited his old contract, which had two years remaining and called for Parker to earn a base salary of $5.7 million in 2023.Īs part of the new contract, Parker's base salary for 2023 is expected to come in lower than $5.7 million, according to a source familiar with the deal. He played in 13 games, with 11 starts, and played 51% of the offensive snaps. New England Patriots wide receiver DeVante Parker, who was entering the final year of his contract this season, has agreed to a new deal with the team through 2025, a league source confirmed Wednesday.Īs part of the new three-year contract through 2025, Parker can earn up to $33 million if he achieves every per-game roster bonus, and hits all playing time and performance incentives that include All-Pro honors, according to a source.Ī nine-year veteran, Parker totaled 31 receptions for 539 yards and three touchdowns last season in New England after being acquired from the Miami Dolphins in an offseason trade.

Hoping for some answers soon, but it's unlikely. Were they sued in California? Are they indeed the ones who fiddled with the PPP money? Have they really tried to run with the money? Because that's beyond retarded. And remember, these numbers are what covers salaries, rent, etc., which - with the crew they had - was a pretty big expense.Īll in all, this very likely was not a "great business", this is not "a brilliant PR stunt".īut there are still so many unanswered questions I would like to know. Most of their inventory was, according to them, on consignment, and their rates for consigment usually topped out at 2 thousand, making the profits impossible. They didn't have that good connections to be able to pick up watches that cheap. They said they sold the most expensive watches off camera, and while that could be true, these watches again would need to make a lot more than 3-4 thousand to make up for the difference. They would need to make 3-4 thousand dollars from every watch to make the profits they were claiming, but most trades seemed to make a thousand dollars or less. The profits they claimed were never visible in the trades we saw. We saw one deal made "off camera", but nothing to indicate that the deal actually went through. They've tried to secure investors, without luck. They've been strapped for cash the entire year. Just a few days ago Anthony had facebook post where he wanted to hire 4 more sellers, likely in an attempt to keep posting growth. They've been stuck with inventory they couldn't unload without losing money. In the last or second to last episode they were trying to unload watches to someone (I guess Roman), but it seemed like they couldn't sell a single one at a wholesale price - the prices were too high. Any real operations manager would have seen these issues a lot sooner. Ironically, everybody has been blaming Mike - the operations manager - for not handeling the business better, but honestly the only reason they even made it this far is because he's incompetent. My guess is that they've been running on a deficit all the time, but because they had constant growth (wich also incures growth in expenses) they were able to keep covering the deficit - until the growth stopped with the market starting to turn. Now that there's a dip in the market, and they have no clue what they need to sell a watch for in order to make a profit, the expenses likely caught up to them. As long as you bought a watch at fair market value one week and sold it for fair market value the next, there would be money to make. The only reason they lasted this long was because the market has skyrocketed the last year. It was obvious that the entire operation was an amateur hour. It's very hard to keep track of profits when you can't correlate the bought and sold prices on an item. It was clear from the last video that they didn't register what they bought a watch for. Making $10 million means nothing if you spent $11 million doing so. Even if these were real, which in itself is debatable, they mean nothing with regards to how healthy a business is. People seem to rely on the revenue numbers. There's nothing to suggest this was a great business in any sense. The main reason seems to be that they can't believe they would throw a "great business" in the trash. People somehow seems to believe that this is a PR stunt. ![]() Issues with TDs should be reported to the forum mods where they are a TD.
