Vital Pharmaceuticals engaged in legal action with PepsiCo for alleged misconduct and foul play. In August 2022, the estate of musician Prince won a lawsuit against Bang Energy for their usage of the " Purple Rain" trademark. The company was sued by Sony Music in October 2021, claiming that Bang Energy's social media platforms were infringing their copyright by using their music without licensing it. Monster later won a false-advertising case regarding Bang's 'Super Creatine' supplement, and was awarded $293 million. The trademark case was ruled in favor of Monster and Orange Bang by an arbitrator, with Vital Pharmaceuticals owing $175 million in damages. The suit found that 'Super Creatine' was not actually creatine, and did not raise the body's creatine levels. The introduction of the "Bang Energy RTD" drink infringed on this settlement, as it contained 'Super Creatine'. Orange Bang previously sued Vital Pharmaceuticals in 2009, and the two companies settled the next year, with restrictions placed on Vital Pharmaceuticals' use of the Bang trademark, limited to "creatine-based" drinks and products sold exclusively at fitness venues such as gyms. ![]() In a separate lawsuit, Monster Beverage and Orange Bang sued Vital Pharmaceuticals for trademark infringement. Vital countersued, alleging that Monster infringed their copyright by use of similar trade dress. Vital Pharmaceuticals was sued by competing energy drink manufacturer Monster Beverage, who alleged that Vital engaged in consumer deception and anti-competitive business practices. Vooz Hydration Sensation, marketed as a sports hydration drink.Bang MIXX Hard Seltzer, an alcoholic drink under the Bang brand.Bang ThermIQ, a liquid capsule dietary supplement marketed as a fat burner.Bang Shots, similar to that of 5 Hour Energy.Bang Keto Coffee, a high protein coffee drink.Natural Bang, marketed as an all-natural alternative to mainline Bang.The Bang energy drink lineup includes over 40 flavors.Īlongside its mainline energy drink, Vital Pharmaceuticals produced several products under the Bang brand after the company was purchased by Monster Beverage, all other products were phased out. Three months after Owoc was removed and John DiDonato was named interim CEO of VPX, Monster Beverage reached an agreement for its purchase on June 28, 2023, this was completed one month later. On October 10, 2022, Bang's parent company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. In August 2022, it was reported that Keurig Dr Pepper was in talks to purchase VPX these talks fell apart shortly after the reports surfaced. VPX resolved their disputes with PepsiCo and transitioned away from their distribution in June 2022. On November 17, 2020, it gave PepsiCo a notice of termination an emergency arbitrator ruled in December 2020 that Pepsi remained the exclusive distributor of Bang drinks until 2023. In April 2020, PepsiCo entered an exclusive distribution agreement with VPX to distribute Bang in the United States. ![]() In 2019, the company opened a manufacturing and distribution facility in Phoenix, Arizona, which operates alongside their facility in Pembroke Pines, Florida. In 2017, it was announced that Bang would offer a caffeine-free variant of the beverage, using beta-alanine in place of caffeine. In 2012, Vital created Bang, marketed as a low sugar carbonated energy drink and with the mission to make high-quality nutritional supplements backed by scientific research. Other products distributed by Vital included Redline, Noo Fuzion, and Meltdown. History įounded in 1993 by Jack Owoc, Bang's parent company manufactured and distributed sports supplements and performance beverages under the brand name VPX. Including the Bang Energy brand and a beverage facility in Phoenix, Arizona, the deal comes months after the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. On July 31, 2023, Monster Beverage acquired Vital Pharmaceuticals for $362 million. ![]() As of 2020, Bang was the third highest selling energy drink in the United States, behind Monster and Red Bull.

![]() When we get a chance, we'll take the Envista to our test track and update this story with test results. Handling is far from inspired, but the Envista offers a well-controlled ride, precise steering, and a firm brake pedal. ![]() Acceleration feels perky enough for casual driving, but step on the throttle hard to call up power for highway passing and the Envista feels more lethargic. All-wheel drive is not available, so all models drive the front wheels through a six-speed automatic transmission. Unlike the Chinese-market version, which employs a 181-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder, the North American Envista comes with a turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder that makes 136 horsepower. Unfortunately, none of the Envista's trims come with available all-wheel drive or a more powerful engine. The Avenir model comes with pretty, nickel-finished 19-inch wheels, a mesh grille, and other upscale styling elements that make it look a lot more expensive than its price would suggest. The Envista is an all-new nameplate for Buick, and it'll go on sale this summer as a 2024 model-year vehicle. The Envista takes up residence at the entry-level end of the Buick lineup under the Encore GX and the Envision SUVs. What's most impressive about the Envista is its starting price of less than $25,000, which includes such niceties as an 8.0-inch digital gauge display, automatic high-beam headlamps, lane-keeping assist, and an 11.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system. This crossover is meant to crawl mall parking lots, not boulders, and as such, front-wheel drive is the only arrangement offered. Under the Envista's hood is a turbocharged 1.2-liter three-cylinder engine that makes just 136 horsepower and a six-speed automatic transmission. ![]() If you're looking for sporty handling or eye-blurring acceleration, we'd encourage you to move along. Set to take on the likes of the Chevrolet Trax, the Mazda CX-30, and the Volkswagen Taos, the Envista will do so with more slicked-back styling. Coupe-like SUVs are all the rage and Buick, builder of staid semi-luxurious crossovers, is looking to get in on the action with the 2024 Envista. To prevent this, make sure you’re following best practices when creating a new password.Īvoid using easily guessable phrases such as ‘password123’ or personal information like birth dates or pet names.
![]() No wonder when the developer offers his time to strangers trying to import stuff into bookends (No offence! I really appreciate it, but speaking from experience, I see some procrastination going on here…) But looking at the progress history, I wasn’t too optimistic about when it will be released. I haven’t gotten down to testing bookends import yet (currently testing Zotero import) but I suspect that I would end up importing that Citavi XML to bookends and if I do, it’s good to know I can ask you stuff (really appreciate it) but to be honest: I just noticed (by looking at your homepage) that you’re the developer of keypoints and I’d much rather have you work on that… When I discovered it a couple of weeks ago, I was thrilled and knew immediately that this is what I want. Not sure whether it’s the same as the Citavi XML that you’re referring to but I suppose so.Īctually, bibtex might also be an option because bibtex export is heavily customizable in Citavi, but even if it goes as far as letting me include my quotes, it would then still require a custom import on the other side, so I’m not sure how much work can be saved going down that path. There is probably a good reason why the guy who wrote the Citavi to Zotero export translator is not using any of the official export formats but rather Citavi’s backup file (which is a zipped XML file. In fact, I don’t even know whether the endnote formats do. My impression is that either endnote XML or ENL are the only real options here because the others don’t support quotes/comments. Alternatively, it‘s definitively worth asking in the Citavi and/or Bookends forums about your specific issue. I could help you with this but my time is unfortunately pretty limited right now. Maybe you could try one of the standard exchange formats (like EndNote XML) first, and then only use a script to pick missing data from the Citavi XML. But one would need to write a script to import this into Bookends. This likely would be the most data-rich format. I remember that Citavi also offered its own (Citavi XML) exchange format. Otherwise, it should be possible to open the Citavi export file in a text editor and change all attachment paths to the path of the Bookends attachments folder. I’m not sure but if you copy your PDFs into the default Bookends attachments folder, Bookends may even be able to auto-match them. IIRC, the EndNote XML format should be supported well by Bookends. RIS doesn’t appear to be the best choice. I‘d try out each of the export formats supported by Citavi and see which is the most lossless. ![]() Alternatively, you could also batch-delete multiple groups via scripting. To batch delete multiple user-created groups in Bookends, select them all (via shift-click) in the source list, then hit the Delete key and press “Delete” in the displayed dialog. ![]() ![]() Bookends offers a “Find A Group…” command (available from the source list’s contextual & cog wheel menus) which will select the first matching group.Will these apps leave things to be desired? For sure! But both can be scripted to fine tune to your needs (though I think, on a Mac, AppleScript automation is easier and also works between different apps). And both apps have been (and likely will be) supported long-term (Bookends even since 1984!). Overall, and ignoring their individual idiosyncrasies, I think that both Bookends and Zotero are robust apps with sound support. So there’s often technical challenges that the user isn’t (and shouldn’t need to) be aware of. This is since Bookends is a Xojo app which, by default, only supports raw AppleEvents but not AppleScript. As an example, adding fully featured AppleScript support to Bookends (which I helped to implement/design) wasn’t easy. Also, feature requests that may seem straightforward to implement from the outside often aren’t easy at all, and may technically be very challenging to implement. For a developer, it’s often very tricky to balance individual user requirements/wishes with the overall goals of the app and its target user group. Personally, I wouldn’t dismiss an entire app based on some public support threads. However, I’ve also worked for Papers (pre ReadCube) and (as a contractor) for Bookends, and I can attest that the people behind these tools were/are very much dedicated to develop sound reference management solutions. software capabilities and quality of support (I could experience this first hand when I worked for them to bring Citavi to the Mac – the project was eventually abandoned in favour of the Citavi web version). Note that coming from Citavi sets a very high bar w.r.t. “The main problem I would say is the lack of research from many potential users,” said the user. “No crypto spam, please,” wrote the group’s moderator in a private message.īut one pseudonymous user, “God Damn” (who is also, perchance, an admin), attributes the apparent unpopularity of the platform to a vicious closed feedback loop of fear, uncertainty and doubt. (BitTorrent itself did not respond for comment.)Īnd when we tried ourselves to engage BitTorrent users on the BitTorrent subreddit? We were banned from the forum. The only people who show any discernible excitement are the admins. The most heated debates take place on the crypto investor Telegram groups, where discussion revolves solely around the (declining) price. A search on for “BTT” or “BitTorrent Speed” yields nothing. It’s true-check out the multitudes of regular BitTorrent forums online and you’ll see very little discussion about the token. “I spent more on electricity than I earned BTT.”Īlexandr, the keen BitTorrent user, ascribes BTT’s lacklustre performance to a lack of serious marketing, despite the $7.2 million slush fund. “Over the past three days I have earned 12 BTT ($0.009),” says Alex Alexandr, a BitTorrent user who invested $600 in the token and had hoped to bring in dividends by seeding files. For an investor, that’s a return of $0 at best, and for a hardcore seeder looking for compensation, that’s a pittance. While in May BTT’s price briefly spiked to $0.0018, it has already slunk back down to $0.0007, lower than it was at launch, and it continues to plunge rapidly. Though almost everyone agrees that the idea is a good one.that turns out to be irrelevant if the token’s worth nothing.Īnd it is worth nothing. Because it’s easier to “leech” than to seed, the BTT token was drawn up as an “incentive” that would encourage more people to support the network-the leechers pay the seeders. “I never actually used the company's product,” sheepishly admits one trader, in a DM sent to Decrypt via Telegram.īitTorrent Speed-the iteration of the protocol that uses BTT-rewards tokens to “seeders,” those BitTorrent users who altruistically invest their network capacity into sharing files, making download speeds quicker. And the few that use the token describe a poor user experience-though most just care about price. Investors are dissatisfied with BTT, whose price has fallen by fifty percent since its all time high. Barely anyone outside of Cryptoland appears to have heard of the platform. $0.156706 31.94% Terra Classic (Wormhole)īut six months after the BitTorrent token’s $7.2 million sale and a month after the launch of BitTorrent Speed, there’s scant to show for it.

This is because the sensor could send incorrect temperature readings to the ECU, which would then fail to activate the cooling fans. If the sensor is faulty, the temperature reading on your dashboard may fluctuate erratically, stay at one extreme, or even fail to rise above a cold reading even when the engine has been running for some time. Irregular Temperature ReadingsĪ properly functioning sensor should provide a gradual increase in temperature reading as the engine warms up. The sensor, being a key communicator in the engine management system, can manifest its failure through various symptoms. Signs and Symptoms of a Faulty Coolant Temperature Sensor These can range from inefficient fuel consumption and poor engine performance to engine damage in extreme cases. If the sensor fails or sends incorrect signals, it can cause the ECU to make incorrect adjustments, leading to several engine issues.
![]() Improved circulation is one of the primary benefits as it helps move blood more efficiently up the legs and back to the heart. Clinically-treated socks can have numerous medical benefits. There are two main types: clinically treated socks and athletic compression. Usually the compression type will depend on why you are choosing to wear them.
