Dr. Dabber Boost E-Rig

vaporizer-aurora-vaporizer-pen-kit-1_1024x1024

The Dr. Dabber Boost is the first portable, battery powered rig, employing a titanium domeless nail much like you would see in a traditional glass rig setup. The device heats to an optimal temperature with a simple button press, making it one of the easiest dabbing solutions available. Click the power button 3 times when using the titanium nail/ceramic nail, or click 5 times to unlock a higher heat setting for use with the quartz nail (included). When attached to the included glass water filtration piece, the Boost replicates the dabbing experience perfectly. Capable of 30-40 uses on a single battery charge, the Boost eRig truly is the best of both worlds: a portable dabbing experience without any sacrifice.

Mukti: Free to be Born Again

Names have been changed to protect the innocent
How one Hindu refugee breaks taboos to discuss cleansing in Islamized Indian Subcontinent

Between 1947, when India was partitioned, to the 2001 census, Muslim-majority Bangladesh lost over 49 million indigenous minority Hindus.

Most of the world never knew.

In “Mukti: Free to be Born Again: Partitions of Indian Subcontinent – Islamism, Hinduism, Leftism and Liberation of the Faithful,” State University of New York Professor Dr. Sachi Dastidar describes the most important untold story of the 20th century. It is a message of hope and a depiction of how faith provides liberation from oppression.

“I have no power to protect individuals who shared their stories of injustice and subjugation with me,” Dastidar said. “I have changed their names to prevent them from receiving possible repercussion for sharing the truth. In the midst of despair, there are courageous defenders of the oppressed.”

Dastidar is part of an indigenous pre-Islamic Hindu family of Bangladesh and, perhaps, the only, among tens of millions of Hindu refugees, to return back from India. He is first to break the taboo of discussing displacement and cleansing and has been invited to two Congressional hearings in Washington, D.C., to testify for the plight of the non-Muslim minorities in a Muslim-majority subcontinent. Dastidar was also invited to be a keynote speaker at an international conference in Bangladesh, in 2005, and has lectured in India and Pakistan.

“This story is based in Bengal – the present-day Bangladesh, and West Bengal and Tripura states of India,” Dastidar said. “It is an area which witnessed three unnatural, large-scale mass killings in the last part of the 20th century. Yet, no one’s been held for those mass killings.”

A New York PRODUCT YOU MIGHT RECOGNIZE….
San Bernardo Ice Cream Scoops Up Another Inc. 5000 Exclusive Ranking of Fastest Growing Private Companies

Inc. magazine named San Bernardo Ice Cream (www.SanBernardoIceCream.com) to its 34th annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent entrepreneurs.  

 San Bernardo Ice Cream is bucking the trend. The Harvard Review shows that only 30% of family owned businesses survive into the second generation and remain family owned.  As the second generation owner and President of San Bernardo Ice Cream, Jonathan Tammara, is taking his family’s know-how in selling pint size scoops of tasty tradition from strength to a flavorsome industry path.

Since taking over the reins in 2010, Tammara has led the company to unprecedented levels of growth in several key areas, with a strong focus on retail and international sales. He has orchestrated a 300% increase in their international sales and launched the company’s new retail division for two brands, San Bernardo for the company’s signature, premium flavors and JT’s Ice Cream for their value brand.  Combined the two brands are now in nearly 1,000 stores in less than two years.

“Over the last few years we have been expanding into retail for the first time in 20 years and this has had a significant impact in our growth.  It will continue to be a focus for us going forward and the increased brand awareness is also helping to expand food service sales,” said Tammara. “We have had great success along the East Coast from the Mid-Atlantic up through New York and New England and have recently made strides in the Midwest. We are excited to see where the next few years will take us.

“We wanted to give the retail consumer a quality alternative to the premium brands at a non-premium price while offering them unique, appealing flavors. We did this by increasing our flavor selection in the premium and super premium markets.  Consumers are more savvy and sophisticated than ever before.  They want something more than just vanilla and we want to be the brand for consumers to escape from the everyday and try something different like Cactus Pear or Cannoli,” Tammara said.  It has been this foresight and ingenuity that has led to the growth that landed San Bernardo on this prestigious list.

To calculate this cheap business gas, Morris and Neill used data from 930,702 home sales in the Las Vegas area for more than 30 years. Morris said that home prices were most likely to decline if they were located more than half an hour outside a metropolitan area.

“The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top,” says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don’t achieve that kind of success by accident.”
