To thank the Sarasota residents for their constant support and recognition, Dolce Italia Italian Restaurant hopes its new menu and open mic night will bring the community together to enjoy delicious homemade food and an unforgettable Italian family experience.

Authentic Italian Menu

Dolce Italia Italian restaurant Sarasota is styled as a warm Italian trattoria, decorated with wood beams, stonework, and a cantina. The centerpiece of the restaurant is a sculpture of the Aragonese Castle, the most famous landmark in Ischia, done by owner Tiziana DiCostanzo’s father, Ceppo Matto.

The traditional Italian style continues in Dolce Italia Italian Restaurant’s mouth-watering authentic Italian menu that showcases a carefully curated selection of pasta, such as the restaurant’s special Linguine Seafood, which is a delectable mix of perfectly cooked shrimp, mussels, clams, calamari, and diced grouper sauteed with tomato, white wine, olive oil, garlic, crushed red pepper and served over linguine.

Dolce Italia Italian Restaurant also has an array of delectable antipasti, entrees, and desserts on offer, including Veal Scallopini, lamb shank, stuffed paccheri, Lasagne Emilian, Torte Al Limoncello, tiramisu al Caffe, and cannoli.

Alongside its authentic Italian food in Sarasota cuisine, Dolce Italia Italian Restaurant additionally provides an extensive wine, beer, and soda menu featuring classic flavors, such as Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Merlot, Peroni, Moretti, and Angelos, that make the ideal accompaniment to its exquisite authentic Italian food.

About Dolce Italia Italian Restaurant

Dolce Italia originates from Ischia, an island in the Gulf of Napoli in Italia, and is owned by Matthew Sparks and Tiziana DiCostanzo.

First established in 2010, Dolce Italia was more of a bakery and cafe at a small space on Superior Road in Gulf Gate. In the evenings, Tiziana started to make a few pasta dishes, which resulted in an overwhelmingly positive response. Dolce Italia Italian Restaurant was born, and soon, the restaurant developed a loyal underground following.

Once people discovered the authentic Italian food and hospitality, the restaurant expanded and moved to a bigger space at 6551 Gateway Ave in 2015, where the newly decorated restaurant currently offers a warm family feeling and a large variety of award-winning, homemade Italian recipes.

Buggyra ZM Racing passes the tough test of its first 24-hour race

The team successfully completes their first 24-hour race at Barcelona finishing third in the GT4 class despite some major setbacks.

Barcelona/Spain – September 19, 2023 /MarketersMEDIA/

·        The usual driver line-up of Adam Lacko, David Vršecký, and Aliyyah Koloc was joined last weekend by experienced racers Jaroslav Janiš and Jaromír Jiřík 

·        Buggyra ZM Racing finishes runner-up in the GT4 championship and sixth overall against much more powerful machinery and experienced drivers

In the world of racing, there is no bigger test than a round-the-clock endurance classic – and Buggyra ZM Racing rose to the occasion at the 24 Hours of Barcelona last weekend, part of the 24H Series.

At the wheel of the Buggyra ZM Racing Mercedes AMG-GT4 were as usual Adam Lacko, David Vršecký, and Aliyyah Koloc; joined last weekend by experienced racers Jaroslav Janiš and Jaromír Jiřík to complete the line-up.

After a day and a night of racing at the Circuit de Catalunya, which is also the home of the Spanish Grand Prix, the squad finished 29th overall and third in class in their first 24-hour race, despite some major setbacks along the way.

The 24 Hours of Barcelona also crowned the 24H Series champions, with Buggyra ZM Racing eventually finishing runner-up in the GT4 championship along with a fine sixth in the overall standings – against much more powerful machinery and experienced drivers.

The team’s 19-year-old star Aliyyah Koloc also claimed second in the GT Junior class and first in the Ladies Cup, rounding off a successful weekend for the team. Although Aliyyah took part in the Dakar Rally for the first time this year, Barcelona was the longest circuit race so far in her young career, as she continues her intense learning programme all over the world.

Free Practice and Qualifying

The rate of improvement was rapid: on its 24-hour debut, the team posted the second-fastest time in official free practice on Friday, then started from pole position as a result of combined qualifying: a remarkable four seconds faster than its nearest rival on aggregate. With the 4.657-kilometer Barcelona circuit providing a good all-round test of the capabilities of any car and driver – one of the reasons why it is regularly used as a Formula 1 testing venue – the 24-hour race itself was set to provide the biggest challenge for the Buggyra ZM Racing team and its drivers yet.

Race 

The drama started before the lights went to green, as the car failed to start the opening lap and had to be pushed back to the pitlane, with David Vršecký at the wheel. But even a restart from pit lane failed, prompting a frantic search for the problem. Deposits in the control fuel turned out to have clogged the filter, which subsequently damaged the fuel pump. Eventually the fuel tank itself had to be dismantled, taking about an hour to fix before the crew finally got underway, from last place. This was the start of a strong fightback: by the halfway point, the team was already up to third in class, albeit a number of laps behind. From there, it was a question of trying to maintain the same progress to the finish and narrow the gap to the leaders – having fought hard for second place in the closing stages. The only other major issue came with Jaromír Jiřík at the wheel, when the rear suspension broke after the straight. Luckily, the Czech driver managed to nurse the car back to the pits and the team could continue.

By the time the #416 car crossed the finish line at midday on Sunday with Jaroslav Janiš, the team recorded a well-deserved class podium after a gruelling but extremely educational 24 hours, only a minute and half off second place. As well as learning about endurance and race craft, the squad successfully overcame all the hurdles that it was faced with; benefitting from the shared human adventure of non-stop racing against the clock.

Quotes 

Aliyyah Koloc, driver:
“I think it was the first time for most of us, so it was a very new experience, and a very tough race as well. But we made it to the finish and we got a podium finish too, so I’m very happy despite the issues we had. Honestly, I did a lot of driving during those 24 hours, including a long endurance stint at night so it was very interesting to experience driving in different conditions. I also drove a bit when the sun was rising, so that was very cool. The team did a great job, along with all the drivers and mechanics, so I think we can be happy. I was just trying to be consistent and not have any issues, but unfortunately, I had a small contact that wasn’t my fault: no big damage, so we just pitted to change the wheel. That was a good wake-up call, but we managed to continue and made it to the finish!”

David Vršecký, driver:
“After qualifying, we knew we had the speed. That’s why we were expecting a slightly different start to the race. I felt a bit desperate: everybody was running away at the start, while I was just restarting systems and trying to find a way to get the car moving. But the team did an amazing job; when they found the problem, they were able to solve it and we drove the rest of the race without any problems.”

Martin Koloc, Team Principal:
“It has been an extremely long and demanding season for us. In between GT racing we have been doing offroad rallies, so to summarize the endurance season, we have done really well for the first time. We have been leading throughout the year; we lost a few races, mainly because of bad luck and we didn’t really make any big mistakes. We finished second in the championship; Aliyyah finished a close second in the GT Junior class which is incredible, racing with so many strong guys in this championship. We will all work hard to get better next year. I am very proud of this team, they have been working so hard, they never stop, trying to battle the odds, never giving up. Each individual member of the team should get a medal because they have been really good.”

TELF AG Decodes Week 37 in Its Latest Market Analysis

TELF AG, a full-service international physical commodities trader with 30 years of experience in the industry, has unveiled its analysis of Week 37 market activities, casting a discerning eye over pivotal changes in commodities, energy sectors, and other vital economic indicators.

Lugano, Ticino, Switzerland – September 19, 2023

The report goes into macroeconomic shifts, metal price dynamics, and the nuances of the battery materials industry. Key findings underscore the rising European natural gas futures, significant price fluctuations in chrome ore, and shifts in stainless steel and base metals.

In the report, TELF AG said that European natural gas futures saw a significant increase in macro developments, driven by a union talks breakdown and strikes at two major Chevron facilities in Australia. Despite the rising gas prices, European fuel reserves are at historic highs for the time of year, exceeding the EU’s objectives. Oil prices showed minimal changes with Brent crude and U.S. West Texas Intermediate indicating minor declines. TELF AG stated that the decisions by Saudi Arabia and Russia to extend supply cuts influenced these prices, even amidst concerns over Chinese economic activity. Meanwhile, the Baltic Dry Index, which measures shipping and trade, declined this week largely due to a drop in the Baltic Capesize Index, even though the Baltic Panamax Index witnessed an uptick.

In terms of chrome ore, TELF AG reported significant increases in prices, influenced by shipping issues, particularly at Richards Bay. Chinese demand for ferrochrome remains robust, contributing to stabilising prices. For Ferro-Chrome (FeCr), while Chinese spot prices remained consistent, European prices saw an increase, as per the report. In contrast, US prices declined due to weak demand and overseas market influences.

Manganese (Mn) dynamics showed Chinese silicon manganese mills reporting increased tender prices this week. According to the analysis, Mn ore prices in China also increased, backed by rising alloy tenders and boosted sales – additionally, Indian manganese alloys recorded price increases following the monsoon break. On the FerroSilicon (FeSi) front, TELF AG stated that Chinese production witnessed a rise in August, with the total production recorded at 450,000t, marking a noteworthy month-on-month increase.

Regarding stainless steel, domestic prices in China experienced an uptick, influenced by changes in housing transaction policies and an increase in nickel futures. TELF AG reported that stainless steel output in China also escalated in August, with projections indicating a significant rise in September. The publication also explained that copper prices were generally down for base metals but experienced some recovery due to concerns over China’s economic trajectory. Chinese copper output in August increased year-on-year. Contrarily, nickel prices have been on a downward trend since the start of August, impacted by an influx of Indonesian nickel and stagnant stainless steel demand, according to the report.

Lastly, in regard to battery materials, TELF AG reported that China’s nickel sulfate output in August marked a year-on-year increase. However, cobalt sulfate production in China saw a decline in August on a month-on-month basis, although the year-to-date production remained higher year-on-year.

For a deeper insight into this perspective, readers are encouraged to view the full article.

BlocPower: Pioneering Affordable Clean Energy Upgrades for Multifamily Buildings

By reducing complexity and increasing affordability, BlocPower is leading the charge to transform older multifamily properties into comfortable, energy-saving living spaces

Brooklyn, NY – September 19, 2023

BlocPower, a national climate tech company focused on greening aging buildings, is using its one-stop-shop model to accelerate the transition from fossil fuel heating to all-electric heat pump systems. This comes as the technology grows in popularity, with heat pumps now relied on by more than 100 million households across the globe and surpassing residential sales of gas furnaces in the United States as of 2022.

The company’s approach integrates $0 down financing with local, utility and federal Inflation Reduction Act incentives to increase affordability—while providing clean energy project management expertise to reduce complexity. A partnership with the City of Cambridge, Massachusetts demonstrates the model in action, where BlocPower, Cambridge and the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center jointly announced $800,000 in exclusive multifamily clean energy incentives earlier this month.

Innovative, Accessible Financing Options with BlocPower

BlocPower’s mission is to make smarter, greener, healthier buildings possible for all, and project affordability is a central pillar. That’s where the company’s financing comes in, presenting building owners with an option to spread what would otherwise be a significant upfront cost over monthly payments across the lifespan of the heat pump system. Owners can finance energy efficiency upgrades for as little as $0/down, with no lien placed on the building, and standard operations and maintenance included. In cases where the property’s current heating system utilizes heating oil or electric resistance, resulting heating bill savings can help offset the monthly cost.

Oftentimes, BlocPower serves buildings with limited operating budgets and considerable deferred maintenance. Knowing this, the company designed its financing product to be flexible enough to cover projects supportive of the clean energy upgrade. The supporting renovations range from mold and asbestos remediation, to electrical upgrades, to new windows, roofing and insulation.

For many building owners the financing directly enables the upgrade to take place. That was the case for a 24 unit property in Madison, WI, where “BlocPower’s partnership in the electrification of the historic Madison Community Coop’s defunct space heating boiler came at just the right time,” according to a nonprofit supporting the work. “The project could not have succeeded without BlocPower’s ability to step into this mission-driven project by providing critical financing and support.”          

BlocPower Specializes in Maximizing Complex Incentives

Clean energy upgrades often qualify for incentives that can significantly reduce upfront costs, but it can be complicated to access this funding even for experienced contractors. Part of the challenge is understanding opportunities and eligibility across local, utility and federal programs—including new incentives available soon through the Inflation Reduction Act. Each potential funding pathway has unique requirements and specifications, in some instances mandating rigid design standards that—if not followed correctly—disqualify the project.

BlocPower works on the customers behalf to maximize and stack rebates and tax credits that increase affordability. For two recent projects, an 8 unit co-op and a 14 unit apartment building, BlocPower secured six-figure incentive payments.

“BlocPower just made it work,” said Lincoln Eccles, the owner of a Brooklyn multifamily building, who approached BlocPower when his building’s boiler failed. “If BlocPower can do my building, they can do any building on the block”

The incentive payment helped replace the failing boiler with a multi-split heat pump system that offered the building’s occupants control over temperature setpoints and all-season comfort.

Many Reasons to Replace Fossil Fuel Systems With Heat Pumps

BlocPower targets replacing fossil fuel furnaces and boilers with electric heat pumps to reduce carbon pollution. Measured over 15 years of operation, a heat pump operating on the nation’s most carbon-intensive electric grid will still reduce emissions 35% versus a high-efficiency gas furnace. This rises to 93% for states predominantly utilizing clean energy, according to a recent report from energy nonprofit the Rocky Mountain Institute.

But heat pumps offer many more benefits than reduced carbon pollution, starting with improved comfort and control. These all-in-one heating and cooling systems provide precise, room-by-room temperature control in all seasons for dependable comfort. Whisper quiet, heat pumps steadily deliver conditioned, filtered air and consistent temperatures throughout living spaces. For owners and occupants, this means no more hot and cold spots and no more complaints.

Because heat pumps are 2-4X more efficient than the most efficient fossil fuel system, some projects also produce heating bill savings ranging from 20-50%. This is most common for buildings burning heating oil or using electric resistance to produce heat and driven by local and global energy prices. In addition to providing post-project energy use forecasts, BlocPower helps customers maximize energy efficiency with smart systems technologies, connect to demand response and community solar programs as well as identify the most economical utility rate class.

Local Laws Another Tailwind for BlocPower and Heat Pump Adoption

Nationwide, municipalities are adopting new laws to phase out fossil fuels, including mandates to install electric technology like heat pumps instead of gas appliances in new construction. In the case of BlocPower’s home base of New York City, two local laws in particular are increasing the pace of building electrification.

The first of which is Local Law 97, which impacts 50,000 buildings across the city and sets carbon pollution limits based on a building’s emissions intensity. Buildings that exceed these caps face fines beginning in 2024 of $268 per ton of emissions above the limit. When the limits become stricter in 2030, many buildings will face six and seven figure penalties without reducing emissions levels.

The fines under Local Law 97 will serve as a financial incentive for building owners to invest in energy-efficient upgrades and sustainable practices, and BlocPower is committed to working with buildings to both understand potential fine levels and develop an electrification and energy efficiency roadmap to get into compliance. For New York City—where buildings account for 70% of total carbon emissions—enforcement of these limits is a critical component of meeting broader climate objectives, including improving air quality.

Another ordinance passed in March of 2023 will hasten the phase out of no. 4 heating oil—supporting healthier communities through the reduction of particulate matter, oxides of nitrogen, sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide in the air. Originally slated to be banned in 2030, non-city-owned buildings will face fines of up to $10,000 if they continue to use no. 4 oil after July 1, 2027. Further, the city will stop issuing or renewing building permits for the fuel as of June 30, 2024.

Buildings using this heating oil “have another motivation to consider heat pumps for space heating and hot water,” according to Ian Harris of BlocPower, who has helped dozens of New York City buildings complete clean energy upgrades since joining the company in 2015. “Beyond reducing carbon pollution and improving air quality, this is an opportunity to increase safety and comfort for residents while upgrading our building stock across the city and across the country.”

New York City – September 19, 2023

A frontrunner in the digital transformation wave, CamScanner, a globally recognized document scanning application, is thrilled to announce a notable achievement. In just one year, through its wide-reaching platform, CamScanner successfully prevented an astonishing 33,147.283 metric tons of carbon emissions.

Last year, CamScanner’s 7,366,062,960 global document scans potentially saved the equivalent of one A4 paper each – a significant carbon offset.

According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), such a carbon saving is equivalent to the nurturing of 497,222 seedlings for a decade. It’s similar to avoiding the yearly emissions produced by 6,692 cars or offsetting the carbon footprint of 3,790 homes’ annual energy use. To top it off, this also equals the emissions from a single charge of 3,657,880,495 smartphones.

To put it into a more relatable perspective:

  1. Paper vs. U.S. Population: According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, the United States has an approximate population of 330 million. CamScanner’s impressive figure of 7,366,062,960 saved sheets could provide every American with about 22 A4 scans.
  2. Paper Savings in Football Fields: The omission of 7,366,062,960 sheets corresponds to a significant carbon saving of 36,830 tons. Given that a football field typically absorbs about 10 tons of CO2 each year, CamScanner’s carbon offset is equivalent to the yearly absorption of 3,683 football fields.
  3. Paper vs. Central Park: Central Park, spanning 843 acres in New York City, doubles as a significant carbon sink. With forested zones typically absorbing 2.5 tons of CO2 per acre, the park might offset around 1,500 tons yearly. Assuming this, CamScanner’s CO2 savings correspond to Central Park’s absorption over 24.5 years.
  4. Paper vs. American Burgers: Given that Americans consume nearly 300 million hamburgers annually, if each burger was wrapped using one saved A4 sheet, it would cover 24 years of America’s burger appetite.
  5. Paper vs. Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest: Annually, the victor of the Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest consumes an average of 70 hot dogs. If these were each wrapped using a saved A4 sheet, it would suffice for over 105 million contests.

The significance of making digital transitions in the workplace is immense, not just for streamlining processes but for significantly reducing our carbon footprint. With global climate change looming, the role of applications like CamScanner becomes even more crucial. Its contribution underscores the monumental impact a single application can make when adopted widely.

“A digital scan is more than just a convenience; it’s a commitment to our environment,” a CamScanner representative shared. This sentiment is echoed by users worldwide, with one echoing, “With CamScanner, it’s not just about digitizing documents but actively contributing to a sustainable future.”

As the digital frontier evolves, so does the potential for mitigating our environmental impact. Every document scanned is a stride toward a sustainable horizon. The onus is now on individuals worldwide to join this green digital movement.

Lake Oconee’s Best Roofer, Braswell Construction Group, Offers Essential Fall Roof Maintenance Checklist for Georgia Homeowners

As fall approaches in the beautiful state of Georgia, Braswell Construction Group, a leading roofing expert, is committed to helping homeowners prepare their roofs for the season’s challenges.

Greensboro, Georgia, United States – September 18, 2023

Fall in Georgia brings heavy rains and occasional storms, making it crucial for homeowners to take proactive steps to protect their roofs and homes. Braswell Construction Group presents a comprehensive roof maintenance checklist to guide you through the necessary steps for a secure and protected home throughout the fall season.

Cleaning Gutters and Downspouts:

Braswell Construction Group advises homeowners to start their fall roof maintenance by cleaning gutters and downspouts. Over the summer, leaves, twigs, and debris can accumulate, clogging the drainage system. Clogged gutters can lead to water overflowing onto the roof and causing damage. A thorough cleaning ensures that water flows away from the roof effectively.

Inspecting Shingles and Flashing:

The summer sun can take a toll on roofing shingles, making it essential to inspect for signs of damage such as cracks, curling, or missing pieces. Homeowners should also pay close attention to flashing around chimneys, vents, and skylights, as damaged flashing can lead to leaks. Braswell Construction Group recommends addressing any issues promptly to avoid more extensive damage during fall storms.

Dealing with Moss and Algae:

Georgia’s humid climate encourages the growth of moss and algae on roofs, which can deteriorate shingles over time. A professional roof cleaning service can remove moss and algae, preventing further damage. Fall is an ideal time for this maintenance task, as it helps protect roofs throughout the rainy season.

Checking for Leaks and Water Damage:

Before the fall rains set in, Braswell Construction Group encourages homeowners to inspect their attics or the interior of their homes for signs of water damage. This includes looking for discolored spots on the ceiling, damp insulation, or visible leaks. Detecting and repairing leaks early can prevent costly damage and ensure homes stay dry during fall storms.

Trimming Overhanging Branches:

While trees provide shade and beauty, overhanging branches can pose a risk to roofs during storms. Braswell Construction Group advises homeowners to trim back branches that are close to or touching the roof to prevent them from falling onto or scraping against it during high winds.

Scheduling a Professional Roof Inspection:

As part of fall preparations, Braswell Construction Group recommends homeowners schedule a professional roof inspection. Experienced roofers can identify hidden issues, assess the condition of roofing materials, and provide recommendations for any necessary repairs or replacements.

Braswell Construction Group emphasizes that preparing roofs for the fall months in Georgia is a proactive step in safeguarding homes from potential roofing disasters. By following this comprehensive roof maintenance checklist, homeowners can address common issues, prevent leaks, and ensure their roofs are ready to face the challenges of fall. For any concerns or problems identified during inspections, Braswell Construction Group is available to provide expert assistance and ensure homeowners have a well-maintained roof that enhances their home’s protection and provides peace of mind as the seasons change.
