Typically, industry analysts and business owners stay a considerable distance apart from one another. While both sides of the equation influence each other, there is a clear separation of responsibilities and expertise between the two positions. It’s even more true of the real estate sector, where speculation so commonly affects the trajectory of the market, but with the same frequency is proven entirely misguided. But a certain level of understanding can be achieved when one role vacations into the other, as came to the surface when Joshua Shull recently commented on real estate trends in a LinkedIn post.
Though Shull has been the founder of Shull Homes since 2017, lately, he has stepped beyond the duties typically expected of a company head, presenting himself in a different light. The company’s YouTube channel has become more prominent, while Shull has spoken as a leader on issues such as company culture, recruitment ethos, and remote working. One of his most recent pieces of content concerned the balance he believes should be drawn when pre-empting the real estate market.
“Every press release, tweet, and scratch of the pen will have an influence on ‘what’s next?’” he commented. “Pay too much attention, and you’ll be told exactly what to think. For those that haven’t figured it out yet—nobody has the answers!”
Shull’s statement may distinguish him from others in the sector as a maverick-like figure. He urges individuals not to read the words of analysts as invariably accurate, which will likely resonate with those who have seen the property market dip and soar in the years since the pandemic began. In many cases, speculation has prompted fluctuation when key indicators have remained consistent. Shull appears to advise observers to cut through the noise and judge the future on basic principles.
“Take a snapshot of what’s happening around the world and observe keenly the never-ending power struggle between X and Y,” he added. “Choose your variables from a multitude of things, depending mostly on what direction you’re facing and what shiny object dangles in front of you.”
Shull’s last comments seem to call on the audience to use their instincts when deciding what property market analysis to trust. The article is not the first time Shull has gained attention for his unconventional perspective. As an employer, he articulated the importance of firing employees in running a positive and successful business earlier this year, citing the overpopulation of the real estate sector as a reason to prioritize the development of proven staff. But this recent appeal to individual judgment could forerun further industry commentaries in the future as the list of areas he wishes to speak in expands.
Public demonstrations demanding justice for Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Iranian woman unjustly beaten and killed by religious police in Tehran, have spread to multiple universities and cities across the United States and Europe.
Louisiana State University, in tandem with over 15 other universities today, hosted a noon rally, where its Iranian community gathered in droves and loudly and passionately demanded justice.
Iranian Americans of all ages gathered in front of the L.S.U. Student Union, holding signs, distributing flyers to students, employees and locals, which informed of Mahsa Amini’s murder, as well as the subsequent human rights violations, such as massive media shutdowns in Iran.
Protestors holding powerfully meaningful signs calling for justice in the freedom-depleted nation
Local protesters chanted, in unison, their ambitions of reform in Iran. “Be the voice of Iran,” “Iranian lives matter,” “They are killing our family and our friends,” “Our internet is shut off,” were all powerful chants that echoed loudly through the campus. Many students stopped to learn more, and to voice their sincere wishes.
As of 23 September 2022, Mahsa Amini protests in Iran continue, though the government has reverted to its 2019 strategy of malicious internet shutdowns to suppress the voice of its people. However, this evening, Starlink, a remote satellite constellation capable of providing internet to remote regions, was given clearance to be activated in Iran, following U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s orders to restore free media and speech to the Iranian people.
The Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, Alikhan Smailov, and Alain Pilloux, the Vice President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development, agreed to launch new projects and invest additional substantial funds in Kazakhstan
Astana, 20.09.2022.
The Prime Minister of Kazakhstan, Alikhan Smailov, held a meeting last week with Alain Pilloux, the Vice President of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) for Banking Operations. The parties discussed the EBRD’s participation in the implementation of new sweeping economic reforms in Kazakhstan, plans for investment in 2023, as well as the priority areas of cooperation in the future.

Alikhan Smailov said that during the last 30 years of cooperation with the EBRD about 300 projects worth more than $10 billion were implemented in various sectors of the economy. “The Government is now implementing large-scale reforms set by the Head of State, which are aimed at qualitative modernization of the economy. They should provide a significant increase in the welfare of our citizens, so we welcome the participation and support of the EBRD in this direction,” the Prime Minister said.
For his part, Alain Pilloux noted that continuation of the existing and launch of new projects in Kazakhstan is one of the EBRD’s priorities. “Kazakhstan can rely on the EBRD for 100%. We are also interested in helping your country to achieve decarbonization of the economy by 2060. We consider the conversion of Almaty CHP-2 from coal to gas to be the flagship project in this direction. This is a very large and important project, in which we plan to invest substantial funds,” Alain Pilloux said.
Pilloux also said that the Bank is ready to continue financing the development of renewable energy sources and other infrastructure projects in Kazakhstan. “A lot of things are being done by the Government of Kazakhstan, so we are ready to develop and implement larger projects,” he emphasized. Summing up the meeting, Prime Minister Alikhan Smailov confirmed the interest of the Kazakh Government to increase interaction with the EBRD Bank in all mutually beneficial directions.
We never run out of examples of nonprofits behaving badly. For so many unknown stories, there are always ongoing scandals or investigations, and more evidence of waste. This situation has given traction for donor-advised funds, consulting firms, and social enterprises to occupy a more noticeable role in philanthropy giving. One group that truly offers a unique alternative to traditional philanthropy is Rosh International. Their surgical approach and the discrete way they conduct their operations is fresh and brilliant. It seems easier to get an invitation to apply for the American Express Centurion Black Card than to join the client list of Rosh International, a Social Investment Firm that finds and creates customized philanthropic solutions for individuals and organizations both nationally and internationally.
“The secret sauce is simple: we only work with people who want programs that are effective, efficient, and measurable,” said Rachmani Domersant, Managing Partner at Rosh International. “No gimmicks about expense profiles and no crying babies; it is about providing real value to you and your business.”

His firm has hired best-in-class talent from university professors to former Fortune 100 business executives. Rosh International is a powerful alternative that can easily disrupt traditional philanthropy, which too often relies on selling poverty and needs, not tangible solutions. Social investors are getting tired of funding programs that fail, and shipping expired or unusable goods to poor countries. Philanthropists are becoming more intentional about their giving and are demanding real results, which is becoming an unbearable headache for many nonprofits that have become accustomed to receiving money with zero accountability.
Rosh International works with many organizations including nonprofits that want to do right by both social investors and intended beneficiaries.
“We have found that many people want to do good but do not know how to do it successfully or at a greater scale. These are the individuals we work with. We steer away from humanitarian tourism and programs that simply cause more harm than good. We are not here to judge our clients’ motivations to help, but to ensure they make an impactful difference,” said Domersant.
Rosh International’s relationships with communities and partner organizations makes them a prime choice in designing, leading, or implementing successful programs. Their diverse team provides unique and practical experiences to unlocking social investment values that are truly sustainable, a clear departure from what seems to have been a long-accepted norm of funding collapsing efforts or programs.
“This is a clear alternative to performative philanthropy, a world where terminologies like outputs, outcomes, and impact are freely conflated and diluted to impulsive fundraising buzzwords,” Domersant stated.
Far too many choose to play on words, but the reality has been that the funds of many organizations cannot be accounted for and there are often few results. Today, people are demanding results, and this is refreshing for Domersant who believes that the time has come to only do the right thing.
“Once we learn about our clients and their interests, we put together a tailored plan,” he said. “This makes it difficult to work on every project or with everyone; we limit the work to social investment opportunities that create maximum impact for both investors and the underserved population. We do prefer programs that touch on entrepreneurship, social justice, and mental wellness.”
Advances in technology allow for heightened scrutiny, the ability to verify success claims and evaluate results with ease that exposes lack of performance and wasted help as it has never been done before. Dumping philanthropy is quickly becoming a more noticeable practice and everyone is watching.
“Did you ever lend your good name to a cause and regretted that decision? Have you tried to do good and made it worse? We are here to solve this problem” Domersant added. “Rosh International goes beyond selling issues, we’re focused on providing results.”
As a mostly self-regulated industry, philanthropy faced its share of scandals and disappointments. Governments world-wide are paying close attention to fundraising practices and usefulness. Many organizations in recent years have been caught inflating the effectiveness and value of their donations while underestimating overhead expenses.
Just as with many things in life the only way donors, fundraisers, and social investors can provoke a meaningful shift in mindsets is to vote with their dollars and stop funding failure. There are a great number of organizations out there able and willing to go that extra mile with you to ensure that your needs are met. Many are already doing the work and could use your support. When done the right way, individuals and businesses can extract significant value out of their social investment. You could certainly implement your mission alone, or you can hire experts like Rosh International with a proven track record that will help you make a difference today.
In the days preceding the 7th Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions, a significant event is taking place in our Church. The assembly and tuning of the liturgical organ are in progress. Of course, in Europe, this is quite an ordinary thing, but for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Kazakhstan, this is a unique event.
For almost a century and a half, the Lutheran Church has been leading its flock in the world’s 9th largest country, which became independent in 1991, shortly after the fall of the USSR. The first Lutherans appeared here at the end of the 18th century. They were engineers, doctors, land surveyors, and artisans. In the middle of the 19th century, the first Lutheran communities emerged.
But the mass settlement of Kazakhstan by Lutherans took place only in 1941, during the days of the deportation of the German residents from Russia. During that period, the Germans were the main carriers of Lutheranism and from the 1940s until the mid-90s, Kazakhstan was the most Protestant republic in the USSR. More than a million Germans were evicted to Central Asia’s largest territory, two-thirds of whom were Lutheran.
Nevertheless, between 1937 and 1957, the Lutheran Church was banned across the Soviet Union. By 1953, only three ministers survived in the USSR, out of almost two thousand. One of them, Eugen Bachmann, after a grueling journey, eventually achieved an official registration in the city of Akmola. It occurred in 1957 and was the first precedent after the ban. From Akmola, known today as Nur Sultan, the capital city of independent Kazakhstan, the revival of the Church began to spread throughout the entire post-Soviet space.
Until Kazakhstan gained independence, the Lutheran Church was under strict control and faced with many prohibitions and restrictions. If they were allowed to purchase or build houses of worship, it was limited to areas far from the outskirts of the city. Everything changed dramatically since 1992. The church came to life. Our voice, along with others, is heard in Kazakh society. Major social projects are underway to support the elderly, the sick, and people with special needs. Healthcare organizations and social protection institutions are prospering. Lutherans have always been great citizens of their country and good peaceful neighbors.
Since 2003, The Kazakh Lutheran Church was actively involved in activities related to the hosting of the all Congresses of Religious Leaders of World and Traditional Religions in our capital city, Nur Sultan, and was actively involved in the coming 7ᵗʰ Congress due to take place 13-15 September 2022. Our Church is a full representative of the World Lutheran Federation, uniting 80 million Lutherans from 149 Churches around the world. We are proud that our country has initiated a dialogue between the leaders of religions. The purpose of the dialogue is to have an open discourse, show the bright ideals of various religions, and stand firm against all those who seek to use of religious differences to incite enmity between peoples and countries.
So, I started with the liturgical organ, and the reader will ask – what is the connection? The anti-apartheid and equality activist Martin Luther King began his most famous speech with the words: “I have a dream…”
I hope he doesn’t get mad at me for using them. I have a dream. A few decades ago, an essentially provocative theory emerged about the inevitability of conflict and the clash of civilizations. I have always been a categorical opponent of it, speaking of the artificial introduction of grains of hate, rivalry, and hostility. Not being burdened with academic degrees in philosophy and political science, I looked for confirmation of my correctness in everyday life.
It is difficult to find more fertile land for this purpose than Kazakhstan. A heterogeneous society combining so many different peoples, ethnic groups, religions, and cultures living together in peace. Instead of conflicts and confrontations, exercising on a daily basis the enrichment of cultures, traditions, and customs. Specific proof of that reality was the construction of our cathedral church in Nur Sultan. It fulfilled the dream of several generations of Lutherans to have a permanent house of worship and prayer, and not a provisional building. Dozens of Kazakhstanis, representing almost the entire spectrum of nationalities, cultures, and religions, helped us to realize this dream.
The essence of any civilization is most concentrated and reflected in the soul of the people who make it up. And the soul of a person is clearly revealed in music. After all, the mind thinks, and the soul sings. I ask God that one day a musical composition – performed by an ensemble of Kazakh folk instruments, Russian folk instruments, and an organ – will be played under the arches of our Temple. It sounded like proof of the harmony of human souls, peoples, cultures, and civilizations. Natural harmony, unless it is destroyed on purpose, artificially introduces discord.
I believe that like-minded musicians, who are in tune with my thoughts and do not differ people by beliefs or faiths, will be found and will join the fulfillment of that wish. This will be our contribution to the ideas of the 7th Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions. And the louder the music will sound, the less often cannonades will appear.
So let this music of the world’s peace and tolerance sound loud and clear in our capital city, Nur Sultan, through our efforts. For that sake it is worth living, working, sharing, giving, and the blessing of the Almighty. Nowadays, in the backdrop of our turbulent region and unstable world, with international conflicts shaking and shocking humankind, this is my self-configuration of the saying, this is probably naive, but “I have a dream”.

There’s a reason why Christopher Mitchell is called The GOAT (Greatest Of All Time). Today, he’s the world’s top professional gambler and gambling consultant, helping the most determined gamblers up their games and win at the casino and the racetrack.
Whether it’s baccarat and roulette that catch your eye or horse racing and sports betting that make your heart race, Christopher is the man to teach you how to beat the Casino through his ELITE Coaching Program, his private VIP Mastermind Events, or one on one coaching in Las Vegas.
He wasn’t an overnight success story, however. Enamored of games of chance since his childhood, he was naturally drawn to gambling and betting once he came of age.
But, as the story goes with too many gamblers, he lost half-a-million dollars in casinos, which left him broke and massively in debt. However, he was still determined to turn his gambling story around. First, he knew he needed to learn the formulas that would make him a success.
Within a few years, he had done just that and was regularly making over $100,000 a month and became a millionaire. He’d gotten so good at hedging bets and leveraging assets that he decided he could stake a new career on teaching other people everything he had to learn the hard way.
“Sarah Lee makes an awesome cheesecake and you can make an awesome cheesecake too if you follow her recipe to the letter, said Christopher.” In that respect, gambling and cheesecake are very similar.
His recipe for success includes specific tips, rules, and strategies to follow. Here, he shares five of his favorite gambling tips with us.
Most People Lose Money at the Casino
Christopher is honest above all else. He always lets his students know that 99% of people lose money at the casino. None of the casinos would still be in business if they didn’t.
“Most people go into the casino with no strategy whatsoever. They go in with luck, hope, a cocktail, and maybe a kiss from their wife. That doesn’t work, trust me. Gambling is all numbers. You have to be strategic and systematic. The principles I teach can be applied to betting on anything. When it’s baseball season, I’m betting on baseball, simple as that,” he explained.
Go in With a Big Bank Roll
Christopher knows that many people interested in gambling live paycheck to paycheck and hit the casinos as a last resort to find financial relief. They are stressed out and gambling with their hearts, not their head. They enter underfunded and inexperienced, and they walk out with nothing.
He suggests learning the principles and going in with smaller goals at first. “Instead of going in with $500 and trying to make $5,000, flip the formula around. Go in with $5,000 and try to make a $500 profit, and you’re much more likely to hit that goal, creating more confidence when starting. Once you’ve met your more modest goal, be disciplined and find the nearest exit for the night.
“The reason I lost every single day is because I went in underfunded. I dug myself into a hole by taking out payday loans and cash advances. I knew that if I could just go in with a $10,000 bankroll, I’d never lose again,” said Christopher.
Use a Separate Bank Account
A separate bank account is a tip that Christopher can’t place enough emphasis on. He says you must open a separate bank account only for gambling to be a responsible gambler. You keep the money you gamble with there and you can keep your profits there too, if you plan to reinvest them.
Do not have this account attached to your day-to-day living expense accounts, and be fanatical about only using these funds for your bets. “I was broke when I started my gambling account. It had only $500 in it. But, by using my collection of tips, rules, and strategies, I quickly grew my gambling money to over $400,000,” he said.
Do Not Learn by Trial and Error
So many people go into a casino thinking they can teach themselves how to gamble correctly or devise tricks no one has used before. You can’t. It’s all based on numbers and principles; it’s not luck or chance, as many think.
Hire a Gambling Coach
“Don’t be in denial; you do need help. Find that coach. Numbers and statistics don’t lie. Documentation beats conversation. Unless you have a coach or a mentor with a proven track record of winning, you will keep losing. You have to get in and get out fast while you’re ahead,” shared Mitchell.
As one of the top gamblers in the world, he holds a recipe for success. From his half-a-million followers to the thousands of testimonials he’s received from satisfied clients over the years, we’d be sure to hedge our bets on Mitchell’s coaching.

Steps Towards Global Marketing of Novel OLED Therapy Beauty Product
Announced on the August, 25th, Sewon E&C and Photonic-Bio began the process of registering and approving flexible OLED (organic light-emitting diode) patches that can be attached to the body to help treat pain and skin regeneration for patients and the elderly.
Sewon E&C, which has obtained exclusive rights to manufacture and sell, and Photonic-Bio, which has transferred technologies from KAIST (Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology), are expected to go into business in Korea and to take appropriate steps for U.S. FDA before entering the U.S. market in earnest.
OLED patches use OLED as a light source to uniformly radiate a large target area. They are very thin and flexible, so the patches have a unique advantage of having a flexible form which make them wearable without causing inconvenience in daily life.
Phototherapy is a treatment that promotes the biochemical reaction of the human body through light-emission. By combining flexible OLED technology with phototherapy, the OLED patches will become innovative medical and beauty product that can be attached to the body.
As South Korea being the leading country in OLED display technology, the company expects that this product can lead markets and large-scale industries by combining phototherapy and OLED technology to commercialize a treatment that is portable and in high efficiency.
Photonic-Bio’s OLED light patch utilizes a free-form platform that can be attached freely. It is less than 1mm thick and weighs less than 1g. In addition, it lasts more than 300 hours after charging, and can perform in a bent shape within the radius of 20mm, making it possible to be attached to various body parts. Also, it only operates at temperatures below 42℃, meeting the stability standard of low-temperature burns based on the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
An official from Sewon E&C said, “OLED patch confirmed excellent effects on wound healing through preclinical trials in the first half of this year. In addition, we plan to expand its application to medical fields such as dementia, skin cancer, pain treatment, skin regeneration, wrinkle improvement, and skin disease improvement.”

Since its humble beginnings, the company has already helped create thousands of ATM ventures for satisfied customers and repeat clients as well.

President Tokayev received Michael Wirth in Nur Sultan. He commended Chevron’s decision to redirect an additional 2.6 billion cubic meters of commercial gas to the domestic Kazakh market
Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev received on Thursday, 18.08.2022, the Chairman of the Board and CEO of California-based Chevron Corporation, Michael Wirth. Kazakhstan’s further plans of collaboration with Chevron and the implementation of a number of investment projects were discussed. The two also exchanged views on the situation in the global energy market.
President Tokayev commended Tengizchevroil’s decision to redirect an additional 2.6 billion cubic meters of commercial gas to the domestic Kazakh market. Furthermore, Chevron’s involvement in the implementation of investment projects in the Kazakh petrochemical sector, and plans for further expansion of the production capacity of the Tengiz and Karachaganak fields, were also considered.
President Tokayev and Wirth addressed cooperation prospects and Chevron’s investment projects as part of the Direct Investment Fund worth $248 million. The fund serves as Chevron’s investment tool to work with Kazakhstan’s economy by investing in local commercial enterprises across various industries.
According to Prime Minister Alikhan Smailov, who met with Wirth on the same day, Chevron was one of the earliest strategic partners of Kazakhstan, which over the years of collaboration has taken part in solving many economic and social challenges. The Prime Minister also talked about developing an improved model contract for investors, which implies a package of fiscal and regulatory preferences. This work aims to increase the investment attractiveness of the country’s oil and gas industry. It will apply to new offshore projects, complex onshore projects, and gas projects.
