Love Wholesome Blog Offers Expert Nutrition Advice and Innovative Recipes for Healthy Eating

Love Wholesome, a personal blog run by the former nutritionist Samantha Bryan, provides comprehensive information on how and why to include nutrition-packed ingredients, whole foods, and recipes for healthy living.

Phoenix, Arizona, United States – January 18, 2024 /Love Wholesome/

Eating healthy foods and reducing junk food in their daily diet; many people make this a New Year’s resolution. So, 2024 is no different. But these resolutions hardly ever get implemented to their full extent. Nonetheless, understanding the impact of dietary choices on overall health is crucial for healthy living. Learning how to include nutrition-packed ingredients, plant-based foods, and recipes can be an excellent idea for anyone looking to improve their gut health and immunity in 2024. Reading nutrition blogs like Samantha Bryan’s informative blog, Love Wholesome, a treasure trove of wholesome ingredients, innovative recipes, and insightful nutrition advice, can help develop healthy eating habits. 

Although many are aware of the benefits of whole grains, meat alternatives, and plant-based foods, how to implement them in their daily diet is still a struggle for many. There can be psychological and behavioral factors behind these habits. For instance, processed foods and animal products with high levels of sugar, salt, and fat can be perceived as more flavorful than meals consisting of whole grains, green veggies, and fruit salad. For some, switching to a diet rich in whole grains and plant-based foods, which often requires planning, preparation, and learning new recipes, can seem time-consuming. 

Concerns regarding protein intake, satiety, and potential nutrient deficiencies may arise among some individuals when considering the adoption of a plant-based or whole-grain-oriented diet. Samantha Bryan says starting with small changes, such as fruit snacks instead of fast foods, can help people transition gradually towards healthy eating and diets. Therefore, she writes quick meal recipes, such as canned fruit and cake mix desserts or homemade fruit and nut cake, rich in nutritional value yet tasty and less time-consuming. Packed with beneficial fats, fiber, protein, and vitamins, these recipes with nuts and seeds are excellent for the digestive system and brain health. 

Many studies have shown the health benefits of eating nutrient-rich diets. For example, whole grains contain healthy fibers, vitamin B, and minerals, which can promote gut health, blood sugar control, and satiety. Similarly, fruits, vegetables, and plant-based items provide essential nutrients and antioxidants that may help lower the risk of chronic diseases and improve gut health. So, including these food items in the daily diet can help develop healthy eating habits and improve physical and cognitive health. 

Those looking for quick meal recipes with high nutritional value will find great value in reading Love Wholesome. The blog features a rich collection of easy-to-follow recipes, healthy ingredients, nutrition, and supplements. The blog founder, Samantha Bryan, writes extensively on wholesome ingredients, recipes, and insightful nutrition advice to help people make healthy food choices in their diets.

Dolly Varden Silver’s (DV.V) Homestake Drill Results: “A substantial zone of exceptional precious metal grades”

“We are drilling both Homestake deposits with ‘oriented core’, which gives us the structural measurement of the vein, how it sits in real space. We are using that to develop a model.”

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada – January 18, 2024

Global Stocks News – On January 16, 2024 Dolly Varden Silver (TSXV:DV) (OTC:DOLLF) released exceptional drill results from its 2023 program at the Homestake Silver deposit in BC’s Golden Triangle, including an intersection of 357 grams/tonne silver equivalent, the length of city block (93.95 meters).

DV Silver is developing its 100% held Kitsault Valley Project located in the Golden Triangle of British Columbia, Canada, 25 kilometers by road to tide water. It also has a new consolidated copper-gold porphyry project in the Golden Triangle, similar to other deposits in the region (Red Mountain, KSM, Red Chris).

“We acquired Homestake at the beginning of 2022, and it doubled the size of our project,” Rob Van Egmond, V.P. DV Silver’s VP of Exploration told GSN’s CEO Guy Bennett. “It had about million ounces of gold, mainly in the inferred category, and about 18 million ounces of silver all in the inferred category.”

“Homestake is split between three deposits,” Egmond continued. “The main two are Homestake Main and Homestake Silver. The first year we did infill drilling at Homestake Main to make sure the continuity and grade lined up with the stated resource. That was successful. The infill holes had higher grades than the resource.”

“We are drilling both Homestake deposits with ‘oriented core’, which gives us the structural measurement of the vein, how it sits in real space. We are using that to develop a model.”

The 23 drillholes reported total 12,150 meters of drilling targeting priority zones within the deposit and have significantly expanded the width and extent of the reinterpreted high-grade silver and gold mineralized plunge.

Highlights from Homestake Silver (intervals shown are core length**):

  • HR23-419: Mineralized envelope: 315 g/t AgEq (2.57 g/t Au and 102 g/t Ag) over 79.20 meters.
  • HR23-416 Mineralized envelope: 357 g/t AgEq (1.74 g/t Au, 213 g/t Ag) over 93.95 meters.
  • HR23-415: Mineralized envelope: 630 g/t AgEq (5.11 g/t Au and 206 g/t Ag) over 22.80 meters
  • HR23-413: Mineralized envelope: 226 g/t AgEq (1.40 g/t Au and 110 g/t Ag) over 40.00 meters.
  • HR23-407: Mineralized envelope: 246 g/t AgEq (2.32 g/t Au and 54 g/t Ag) over 55.90 meters.
  • HR23-411: Expansion step out hole to the southeast; 445 g/t AgEq (0.91 g/t Au and 369 g/t Ag) over 10.55 meters.

**Estimated true widths vary depending on intersection angles and range from 65% to 85% of core lengths, further modelling of the new interpretation is needed before true widths can be calculated

“The 2023 drilling at Homestake Silver has identified a substantial zone of exceptional precious metal grades, often typified by multiple phases of silver and gold mineralization, over wide, continuous intervals that are potentially amendable to bulk underground mining methods,” stated Shawn Khunkhun, CEO of Dolly Varden Silver.

Bulk mining generally has lower mining costs associated with it, allowing for a lower cut off grade bringing in more material, increasing the tonnage per day and number of ounces mined.

“Some of these old, narrow vein deposits don’t work in the modern era,” Khunkhun told Guy Bennett, the CEO of GSN. “You don’t want to be chasing narrow veins, hand sorting material. Our goal is that Dolly Varden Silver will create an efficient, highly mechanized mine with a low All-In-Sustaining-Cost (AISC).”

Drilling targeted the high-grade plunge within the Homestake Silver deposit. These holes focused on defining and expanding the wide gold and silver (+/- lead and zinc) mineralized zone.

The reinterpretation concluded that the wider mineralization zone at Homestake Silver is at a similar plunge orientation as that of the Homestake Main deposit, located 300 meters to the northwest.

The average grades are higher, on a precious metal silver equivalent basis, than the average grade of the silver deposits at the Dolly Varden property to the south due to the increased gold content at the Homestake Ridge deposits.

Results from additional step-out holes to the north of the intercepts reported on January 16, 2024 are being finalized and are expected to be announced shortly.

On November 2, 2023 Dolly Varden Silver announced that it has closed a deal where Hecla Canada invested $10 million in DV Silver, raising its stake in DV Silver from 10.6% to 15.7%.

Hecla Mining has a market cap of USD $2.59 billion and trades on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). It produced 14.2 million ounces of silver in 2023.

“Hecla has demonstrated it is a sticky shareholder,” Khunkhun told Bennett, “They’re looking to expand their North American silver portfolio.”

“Global industrial demand for silver in 2023 is expected to set a record leading to another big market deficit, according to preliminary projections by the Silver Institute,” reports FX Street on January 8, 2024.

“Falling silver production in Mexico seems to be developing as a trend. The country has historically ranked as the world’s top silver producer, but Mexican mine output has dropped 25% in the last two years,” continued FX Street.

“The photovoltaic industry is essentially recession-proof due to support from governments around the world. While industrial offtake accounts for roughly half of global silver demand, at its core, silver is a monetary metal. It tends to track with gold over time.”

“The current silver-gold ratio is just over 87-1. That means it takes over 87 ounces of silver to buy an ounce of gold. The average in the modern era has been between 40:1 and 50:1. Historically, the ratio has always returned to that mean. And when it does, it does it with a vengeance,” added FX Street.

“The latest results from Homestake Silver – including 93 meters at 357 grams AgEq per tonne – indicate that the mineralised envelope is wider and higher grade than we had thought,” Van Egmond told Bennett.

“The drill comes in at angle, so the true width is about 50-60 meters,” Egmond continued. “This suggests a deposit that is amenable to bulk underground mining, which would bring the cut-off grade down, add more tonnes, and lower mining costs.”

Rob van Egmond, P.Geo., Vice-President Exploration for Dolly Varden Silver, the “Qualified Person” as defined by NI43-101 has reviewed, validated and approved the scientific and technical information contained in this GSN news update and supervises the ongoing exploration program at the Dolly Varden Project

Another Year of Expansion for the Church of Scientology South Africa

A long list of statistics showing the further expansion of the Church of Scientology in South Africa in 2023.

Midrand, Gauteng, South Africa – January 18, 2024

Rattling a long list of statistics showing the further expansion of the Church of Scientology in South Africa in 2023, the President of the Church of Scientology, Gaetane Asselin, points fingers towards some of their most stellar statistics the Church produced in 2023, claiming over 748 skills development workshops held at the Castle Kyalami – which brought over 1500 chaplains, social workers and emergency responders, 850 agriculture managers, over 6500 educators, police officers and many more for collaborative efforts to combat societal issues. And to start the new 2024 year, the Church has contributed to over 25,000 South Africans who have received some skills development training due to the Church’s intervention to upskill individuals. 

One of the points of pride for Asselin is how so many groups then get established to help their communities now that they have practical tools to effectively assist. Amongst others, she says 961 schools are now applying the Study Technology of L. Ron Hubbard that they have learned which assisted them to improve their results, help learners read for meaning and empowered more than 166,000 individuals – students as well as educators.

“It is hard not to have tears of joy when one hears teenagers who had dropped out of schools – or were about to – coming back with even more enthusiasm as they now know how to study and the “Reading for a Meaning” lessons rekindled their purpose to learn,” said Asselin. “And so it did for numerous educators who, seeing how they can really make a difference in the lives of their learners, even worked after hours to provide learner support,” added Asselin.

Another long-awaited project, very dear to the President and Scientologists the nation-wide, was the grand opening of its first substance abuse treatment center called Narconon (for Narcotic-Non) in Rustenburg. Attended by over 1600 people on 30 December, Asselin felt it was a fantastic way to end the year. “This will further allow us to assist more people, in particular those who are trapped with problems of drugs and alcohol,” added Asselin.

The President of the Church concluded by saying that the year 2024 is lined up for even more expansion and exciting activities.

Learner Support Initiative Welcomes New Students for 2024 to Improve Education in Pretoria

A Scientology Volunteer Minister from Soshanguve is bringing hope to learners struggling with reading for meaning.

Soshanguve, Gauteng, South Africa – January 18, 2024

Recently, a Soshanguve based learner support programme welcomed new students in their afterschool programme to help learners read for meaning. Boitumelo, who is a Scientology Volunteer Minister from Soshanguve has been assisting many struggling learners in her community with an afterschool learner Support programme that has empowered students to overcome the impossible barriers to learning even produced top performing students throughout 2023, she is now ready for 2024. 

Upon seeing the devastating dropout rate and the deadly consequences that follow afterwards, Boitumelo decided to step in and help learners improve their literacy. This has now turned into a movement of assisting failing students with Learner Support Tools that has improved their school results and awakened their interest in learning.

In a short documentary on YouTube, she describes how she has been using the Scientology Tools for Life to empower the kids she works with. She aims to empower many more.

“The learner support programme has really helped me a lot. I was struggling in school but that is over now all thanks to this afterschool program where I received a lot of help to improve my studies”, said one of the previous students. 

Despite the hardships and challenges that come with living in a township, Boitumelo found her passion for helping kids and pursued her desire to help learners with learning difficulties. “When kids drop out of school, they start getting involved in detrimental habits like taking drugs and stealing. They see no hope in education anymore,” said Boitumelo. “Kids need help from us as a community. They need to be able to understand what they are reading and what it means and how they can apply it. If not, then what will their lives be like? We need to show them that we are here to support them and that if they feel like quitting, the learner support program is here for them and they can have a future. That is what learner support is. It’s that extra step beyond content delivery that you take to ensure the child’s wellbeing is taken care of,” she added.

Not only did she decide to help. She further established her own NPO called Arise and Shine in order to create an after school care platform where learners with learning difficulties can come and receive learner support. “At first, it was tough. But now the kids are living proof of the success of this intervention. They always ask me when the next session is. Their results have improved significantly. The program works,” continued Boitumelo.

According to her, understanding that kids are also human and are complex with their own personalities has also assisted her in understanding them properly. She gets them involved so that they can also experience that their ideas count and they are capable of solving problems. “The Tools for Life have helped me a lot. They provided me with the right tools for every situation. I know exactly how to help and encourage them now,” added Boitumelo.

And the learners express it themselves, “This Learner Support program has helped me a lot as a learner. I have improved a lot academically. I have seen it help others too. Without it, I would be nowhere right now,” said one of the learners assisted by Arise and Shine.

The “Tools for life” skills development program is delivered for free by the Scientology Volunteer Ministers as a way to empower communities and is applicable to all members of society. They host a variety of free seminars for communities and have trained thousands and thousands from their headquarters in Castle Kyalami on this effective program written by humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard.

“Thank you very much to the Scientology Volunteer Ministers who have supported me a lot in starting this program. I have been able to create positive change and intend on doing more for my community. It makes me feel good and makes my life worthwhile,” concluded Boitumelo.

CCHR Calls Out Psychiatric Association’s Nondisclosure of Conflicts of Interest Among Psychiatrists Who Revised “Psychiatric Bible”

Citizens Commission on Human Rights says American Psychiatric Association’s unwillingness to provide full disclosure of pharmaceutical companies’ payments to psychiatrists involved in developing the latest edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders prevented public scrutiny of industry influence.

Washington, DC – January 18, 2024 /MarketersMEDIA/

Psychiatrists who worked on the latest edition of the so-called “bible of psychiatric disorders” received more than $14 million in industry payments from pharmaceutical and medical device companies, but until now that information was kept from public scrutiny. The American Psychiatric Association (APA), which published the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR) in 2022, chose not to publicly disclose the industry-related financial conflicts of interest. 

To collect and analyze that information, a team of researchers turned to the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ Open Payments database, which contains data on payments made by drug and medical device companies to physicians and teaching hospitals. Data from Open Payments can be used to assess how physicians may be influenced by industry compensation. For their study, the researchers examined industry payments made from 2016 to 2019 to those who subsequently worked on the DSM-5-TR.

They found that about 60% of the psychiatrists who served in some capacity in the preparation of the DSM-5-TR received industry compensation, mostly for travel and consulting. But more than one in three received income for other reasons, such as for their research or for speaking on behalf of pharmaceutical companies. The latter is widely recognized as an especially egregious conflict of interest because the speakers are basically marketing pharmaceutical companies’ drugs.

By dollar amount, 71% of the funds paid by pharmaceutical and medical device companies to DSM-5-TR psychiatrists was funding or payments for their research, a clear financial conflict of interest.

“Conflicts of interest among panel members of DSM-5-TR were prevalent,” the researchers concluded. They pointed out that the impact of pharmaceutical company payments on physicians’ behavior and prescribing practices can lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment of patients.

“Additionally, it is important to emphasize that the problem of overdiagnosis is not limited to the inclusion of new disorders in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders,” they wrote. “Even seemingly small changes to the manual (e.g., to [symptoms] of previously included disorders) can have a substantial impact on increasing the number of people who would receive a diagnosis and increasing the number of people prescribed drugs.” The study was published January 10 in The BMJ.

More fundamentally, the DSM has long been under attack for the lack of scientific basis for its “mental disorders,” which psychiatrists voted into existence in an attempt to imitate the biomedical model used in the field of medicine. 

In 2013, psychiatrist Thomas Insel, M.D., then-director of the National Institute of Mental Health, publicly stated that there is no objective basis for psychiatry’s mental disorders and that “the weakness of the [DSM] is its lack of validity.” [1] In other words, there is no way to precisely identify or “diagnose” any psychiatric disorder.

Nevertheless, without any scientific validity, the DSM’s subjective “mental disorders” continue to be used to “diagnose” patients and prescribe powerful psychotropic drugs as treatment. Some 77 million Americans are currently taking psychiatric drugs. 

Hundreds of research studies and warnings from international drug regulatory agencies have warned about the risks of serious side effects when taking or stopping psychotropic drugs. [2]

Beyond the adverse effects of the drugs, a recent study found that psychiatric diagnoses and treatment with psychiatric drugs were linked to negative outcomes for patients’ lives, including lower income, increased unemployment, and a greater likelihood of being single and living alone. [3]

The Citizens Commission on Human Rights calls out the American Psychiatric Association for its unwillingness to provide the public with full disclosure of the extent of pharmaceutical companies’ payments to psychiatrists involved in the development of the DSM-5-TR – a disclosure that magnifies the DSM’s true function as providing cover for the unscientific labeling of patients with fake “mental disorders” in order to treat them, all too often with psychotropic drugs that may harm them.

WARNING: Anyone wishing to discontinue or change the dose of a psychiatric drug is cautioned to do so only under the supervision of a physician because of potentially dangerous withdrawal symptoms.

Healthtech RISA Launches AI Platform to Optimize Healthcare Prior Authorizations

The RISA Multi-Agent System brings a new level of sophisticated decision-making and coordinated action, transforming prior authorization tasks into a model of efficiency and precision.

Palo Alto, California, United States – January 17, 2024 /MarketersMEDIA/

RISA, envisioned by serial entrepreneurs who scaled Urban Health, a mental wellness and sleep platform to over a million users, now targets the heart of healthcare’s inefficiency. Kshitij Jaggi, Founder and CEO, recounts the thought behind this vision, “The healthcare system is at a breaking point. With a staggering $950 billion funnelled into administrative costs and $265 billion of that lost to inefficiencies as reported by McKinsey, our focus was clear: we needed to rebuild and innovate.” 

With a deep understanding of the health-tech space, the three founders turned their focus to healthcare’s most pressing challenges, harnessing state-of-the-art AI. Thus, RISA’s vision shaped itself, aiming to break down the barriers of administrative inefficiency in healthcare and allow providers to reclaim their time for exceptional patient care.

Kshitij Jaggi, Founder and CEO, reflecting on RISA’s journey and its inaugural solution suite, emphasizes the deliberate choice of targeting the prior authorization workflow: “We specifically chose prior authorization as our initial focus due to its historical status as one of the most tedious and least automated processes in healthcare operations. The integration of our Multi-Agent System (MAS) brings a new level of sophisticated decision-making and coordinated action, transforming this traditionally cumbersome task into a model of efficiency and precision.”

RISA’s Multi Agent Team of Prior Authorization specialised in different tasks

The manual nature of the prior authorization process, required for procedures or new medications, involves a detailed review of medical records against care guidelines. This process, which includes sifting through various types of information such as test results and doctor’s notes, is not only time-consuming for healthcare staff but also causes significant delays and anxiety for patients, adversely affecting their healthcare experience.

Dr Ruchi Garg, a Senior Surgeon and National Program Director of Gynaecology Oncology at the City of Hope, Atlanta, and a member of RISA’s medical advisory board, highlights the specific challenges: “Prior authorization is riddled with issues, from ever-changing payer guidelines to managing multiple documents. These contribute to its complexity and inefficiency, which RISA aims to address.”

The strategic decision to focus on prior authorization impacts several facets of healthcare. Kshitij Jaggi added: “Prior authorization affects both providers and patients. It not only impedes physicians’ clinical time but also burdens health systems with increased expenses, leading to lower patient satisfaction due to care delays and complex billing. Additionally, the extensive manual work involved causes burnout among clinical and administrative staff, diminishing operational efficiency.”

RISA is redefining the prior authorization process in healthcare, skillfully merging its innovative Multi-Agent System (MAS) approach. Kumar Shivang, the Co-Founder and CTO of RISA, sheds light on this groundbreaking development. “Our MAS isn’t just a collection of AI agents; it’s a symphony of specialized capabilities, with each agent teams focusing on a unique aspect of prior authorization workflow, working in tandem to simplify and expedite the authorization process,” he explains. This system goes beyond the conventional use of AI, thoughtfully integrating human expertise at pivotal decision-making moments. This integration ensures a perfect equilibrium between the precision of AI and human oversight, akin to the philosophy behind Microsoft’s co-pilot design. The result is a decision-making process that is both technologically sophisticated and acutely sensitive to the complexities of human input.

Complementing this technological marvel is RISA’s commitment to an intuitive user experience. Rishabh Sahu, Co-Founder of RISA, elaborates on this aspect. “We’ve designed our platform with the end-user in mind. Our simple-to-use UI, accessible via a Chrome plugin, seamlessly integrates with existing EHR systems, embodying our ‘click less, do more’ philosophy. This ensures that healthcare professionals can adopt our system with minimal disruption to their existing workflows,” he states. This design choice not only underscores RISA’s user-centric approach but also eliminates the need for new dashboards or extensive retraining. Furthermore, RISA’s adaptability is a key differentiator, enabling it to evolve in tandem with changing medical guidelines and EHR system updates, setting it apart from more static AI solutions in healthcare.

The implications of RISA’s innovation extend beyond mere process optimization. For Chief Medical Officers and Care Teams, the value proposition of RISA is clear: it liberates them from the clutches of administrative overhead, allowing them to dedicate more time to patient care. This shift not only enhances the quality of healthcare delivery but also boosts the morale and job satisfaction of healthcare professionals.

During National Human Trafficking Prevention Month, data is offered on spotting trafficking signs

During January, Youth for Human Rights is raising awareness of human trafficking by pointing out its signs.

Washington, DC (Hagerstown, MD), United States – January 18, 2024 /MarketersMEDIA/

Every year since 2010, the President of the United States has dedicated January to raising awareness about human trafficking and educating the public about how to identify and prevent this crime. Thus, January is National Human Trafficking Prevention Month.

The United States is not immune to human trafficking. In order to battle this social ill, citizens must become aware of human trafficking’s signs and know what to do when seeing them.

The Youth for Human Rights DC chapter has been working with community groups, churches, and government programs to spread information about how to spot key indicators of sex trafficking. Many victims of human trafficking are minors. Recognizing the signs of human trafficking is often the first step to identifying and helping a trafficking victim, according to the training of Youth for Human Rights.

Human Trafficking Prevention Month is designed to educate the public about human trafficking and the role they can play in preventing and responding to human trafficking. In order to enhance efforts to keep citizens safe from human trafficking, the following signs of sex trafficking, the largest form of trafficking in the United States, are being made known:

Signs of sex trafficking include:

• Changes in school attendance, habits, friend groups, vocabulary, demeanor, and attitude

• Sudden appearance of luxury items, such as manicures, designer clothes, purses

• Sexually provocative clothing

• Tattoos or branding

• Refillable gift cards

• Multiple phones or social media accounts

• Provocative pictures posted online or stored on the phone

• Unexplained injuries

• Social interaction and schedule being strictly controlled by someone else

• Isolation from family, friends, and community

A common misconception is that trafficking mainly involves foreign-born individuals being brought into the United States. Actually, according to the Department of Justice Bureau of Statistics, the majority of trafficking victims in the United States are US citizens, often teenagers.

Anyone can report human trafficking by paying attention to the red flags listed above and notifying the police or school officials. (Individuals are cautioned not to approach traffickers themselves because they could put themselves in danger and jeopardize any future prosecution of the buyers or pimps.)

It is recommended to call the human trafficking hotline or 911 and report any suspected instances of human trafficking. The contacts are:

National Human Trafficking Hotline 1-888-373-7888 or text HELP or INFO to BeFree (233733).

Youth for Human Rights International has been working to prevent human trafficking on a national and international level for more than two decades. Raising awareness of human rights, as delineated in the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is an important undercut to this and many other human rights issues. Article 4 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights states: “No one shall be held in slavery or servitude; slavery and the slave trade shall be prohibited in all their forms.”

Youth for Human Rights materials teach the 30 rights which comprise the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Knowledge of these rights helps strengthen children and make it less likely that they become victims of traffickers. Parents can strengthen their children’s confidence and reduce their susceptibility to becoming trafficked by giving them the Youth for Human Rights materials. An understanding of human rights breeds confidence in youth. Pimps and recruiters rarely target confident youth; instead, they look for the uncertain and insecure youth, whom they can more easily manipulate and control. By ensuring youth are confident and know their human rights, we can help prevent them from being the target of traffickers.

Tenth stage in the dust, Aliyyah Koloc moves forward in the overall standings

The tenth stage of the Dakar Rally 2024 presented another challenging battle with the Saudi Arabian landscape, particularly due to the omnipresent dust.

Monaco/France – January 18, 2024 /MarketersMEDIA/

As the competition returned to Al-Ula, where it began, the Tatra Buggyra ZM Racing team secured impressive stage finishes. Pascal de Baar, in the Tatra Buggyra EVO3, clinched fifth place, while Jaroslav Valtr in the Tatra Phoenix took seventh. Daniel Stiblík, driving the second Phoenix, finished 24th, with all three drivers competing vigorously outside the absolute standings. Aliyyah Koloc began the day with the relief that the organizers had removed her previously imposed 15-minute penalty. The Buggyra ZM Racing driver, in the RedLined Revo T1+, completed the stage in 31st place, moving up to 25th in the elite car class overall standings.

Aliyyah Koloc expressed her enjoyment of the day’s stage. “The first part was rocky with some significant jumps, leading to a puncture. I rode cautiously afterwards to avoid another puncture. The post-neutralization phase was fast, weaving through canyons, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Finishing early allows me more time to prepare for tomorrow’s stage, anticipated to be one of this year’s toughest,” she reflected.

Jaroslav Valtr, aiding his son Jaroslav Jr.’s crew on the track, expressed concerns about the challenging conditions. “The dust was overwhelming, creating a practically impassable ‘train’ of vehicles. Overtaking was nearly impossible. We assisted Ales Loprais with a tire puncture, which was a challenging task in itself. Eventually, we managed, but then Pascal overtook us during this process. Later, we also had a puncture to deal with,” shared the seasoned racer.

Pascal de Baar commented on the physical toll of the rally. “As the days progress, fatigue sets in, making recovery more difficult. Despite starting from the sixth position, I was aware of my speed advantage over Jarda Valtr due to our recent turbo issues,” said the Dutch driver.

Tomáš Šikola, de Baar’s onboard mechanic, was satisfied with the stage’s outcome. “It was a swift and agile stage, with an average speed of over 100 km/h. Our only issue today was a broken window,” he remarked.

Daniel Stiblik encountered navigational difficulties in the latest stage. “The day started off well, and initially, we had a good pace, even managing to overtake several cars despite the heavy dust. This momentum carried us until around the 70th kilometer, where we unfortunately broke our window. The real issue arose around the 250th kilometer, where we made a navigational error. Initially, we thought we had missed only one point, but it turned out to be three. As a result, we received a significant penalty, which was quite disheartening.”
