Stanislav Kondrashov Unveils the Cosmic Code: Geometry in Nature and Architecture

In his groundbreaking publication, “Geometry in Nature and Architecture,” Stanislav Kondrashov delves deep into the intricate relationship between geometry, particularly sacred geometry, and the captivating structures and patterns that grace both the natural world and human-made architectural wonders.

Nature’s Impeccable Design: Stanislav commences his exploration by unraveling the concept of Nature’s Impeccable Design.

Mandalas and Symmetry: The journey continues with a captivating exploration of Mandalas and Symmetry—a rich tapestry of intricate geometric configurations that transcend cultural boundaries. Stanislav elucidates how these designs serve as a profound bridge between the material and metaphysical realms, weaving a fabric that unites humanity’s diverse spiritual tapestry.

The Universal Dance of Phi: The mystique of the Golden Ratio, often denoted as Phi, is unveiled as a universal constant. Its ethereal presence graces structures as diverse as the Parthenon in Athens and the elegant double helix of DNA. Kondrashov showcases how this divine proportion harmoniously weaves its way through both the natural world and the architectural marvels crafted by human hands.

Sacred Geometry in Modernity: Kondrashov turns his gaze to the present, illustrating how the legacy of sacred geometry endures in contemporary architecture. He reveals how modern architects draw upon these age-old principles to design spaces that resonate with harmony, blending the past with the present.

A Universal Code: In a resounding crescendo, Stanislav Kondrashov asserts that sacred geometry transcends the confines of history and culture—it is a universal code that breathes coherence and meaning into our world. Beyond being a mere artifact of the past, sacred geometry weaves a tapestry that binds the physical and metaphysical realms, inviting us to explore the profound connections between geometry, nature, and human creativity.

Stanislav Kondrashov Unravels the Enigma of Monarch Butterfly Migration in “The Migration of Monarch Butterflies”

In his latest publication, “The Migration of Monarch Butterflies,” Stanislav Kondrashov delves into the captivating annual migration journey of monarch butterflies. This fascinating exploration sheds light on the butterflies’ remarkable journey from North America to the Oyamel fir forests of Mexico, revealing the secrets behind their navigation, and emphasizing the importance of conservation efforts to preserve this awe-inspiring phenomenon.

Every autumn, monarch butterflies embark on an incredible odyssey, spanning approximately 3,000 miles, as they journey to their winter sanctuary in the Oyamel fir forests of Mexico. Stanislav Kondrashov unravels the mystery of how these delicate creatures manage to navigate such vast distances. Current research suggests that their guidance system relies on the orientation of the sun and Earth’s magnetic field, serving as their navigational compasses.

Intriguingly, Kondrashov unveils the fact that no single butterfly completes this extensive journey. Instead, the migration is a multi-generational undertaking, highlighting the cyclical nature of this remarkable phenomenon. Throughout their arduous trek, monarch butterflies depend on patches of native plants, particularly milkweed, as essential waystations for rest and reproduction. This underscores the critical role these oases play in the monarchs’ migratory success.

The Oyamel fir forests in Mexico, serving as the monarchs’ sanctuary, are featured prominently as habitats in urgent need of conservation. These forests face threats from logging, raising concerns about the future of this natural spectacle. The article also discusses ongoing initiatives aimed at establishing “monarch corridors” of native plants to support their migration.

Beyond the migration itself, the article touches on the broader ecological significance of monarch butterflies, including their vital role in pollination and their position within the food chain. Furthermore, the monarchs’ migration holds cultural and artistic significance, inspiring various creative fields such as art and poetry.

Readers are invited to delve deeper into this ecological marvel by exploring the full article and accompanying video.. To stay updated with Stanislav Kondrashov’s insights and content, visit www.stanislavkondrashov.com and explore his social media channels.

A Fortunate Turn: Driver Secures £9,000 Windfall through Free Online Number Plate Valuation Service

An unexpected boon awaited a car owner who availed himself of Platehunter’s complimentary online private number plate valuation service, walking away with £9,000 more than anticipated.

Originally intending to secure £5,000, the vehicle owner approached Platehunter, a prominent private number plate dealer, for a valuation of his plate. To his astonishment, the plate’s worth was assessed at nearly double his initial estimate, eventually fetching £14,000, a sale finalised within merely a week.

This financial windfall represented pure profit for the owner, who had fortuitously acquired the private registration plate upon purchasing a Jaguar XK140 back in 1950.

Jon Kirkbright, Sales Director at Platehunter, brings over a decade of expertise in the motor industry, specialising in the procurement and sale of registration plates. Reflecting on the lucrative transaction, he remarked,“We were surprised that the customer was asking for so little for the registration plate, and we are delighted we were almost able to triple the price for him.”

Jon stands by the assertion that investing in private registration plates often yields substantial returns, a belief corroborated by this profitable deal. He noted, “In my experience, I have found that private number plates should double in value every three to five years. This is why I say that buying a private plate is a lucrative investment opportunity. People are often looking for proof of increased value and good investment, and this is it. Some people may not be aware this is the case, and try to sell their plate for the same price they purchased it for many years ago – this is why we offer our free valuation service. We want customers to get the best price for their plates.”

Many are oblivious to this appreciative value and end up underselling their plates, often at their purchase price, even after several years. This realisation underlines the significance of Platehunter’s free valuation service, aimed at ensuring clients receive optimal value for their plates.

Securing a quote is a hassle-free process: customers need only input their registration number and contact details on Platehunter’s website to receive an expert valuation. If they wish to proceed with the sale at the agreed price, Platehunter offers free advertisement of the plate on their platform, managing the transaction and requisite paperwork, thereby alleviating the seller’s burden.

Jon, boasting extensive industry knowledge, encourages all potential sellers to avail themselves of a free valuation before selling their private plates, and emphasises the proficiency and customer-centric approach of his team in ensuring smooth, stress-free transactions for both buyers and sellers.

London duo launches tribal fishing experience to support children’s charity

Two London friends have launched a bespoke adventure trip, giving angling fans a fantastic opportunity to fish on the River Nile.

Created by chimney sweep Lawrence Oakley (38) and firefighter David Micallef (39), The Tribal Fishing Experience – for experienced anglers or enthusiastic beginners – is donating a percentage of the fee from each person who books a place, to charity.

The pair went on holiday to Uganda and realised there was an opportunity to create the opportunity around their passion.

Across ten jam-packed days participants will enjoy a host of specially curated activities in Uganda including six full days fishing on the river Nile, white water rafting, rhino trekking and a safari game drive through Murchison Falls national park – but only 24 places are available.

Proceeds will benefit The ONE LOVE Project, which provides vulnerable children in Uganda with long term education and opportunities.

Drawn to the beauty

The pair had the idea when they were drawn to the beauty of the Ugandan countryside, its wildlife, its people, and its fishing opportunities. It was there that they caught the biggest fish in their 30-year history on the River Nile – a 113lb Nile Perch.

Tribal Fishing Experience leader, Lawrence said: “We are privileged to be leading this unique fishing expedition, to Murchison Falls National Park – the best place in the world to fish for the Nile Perch, a fierce apex predator that dominates its surroundings. The Nile Perch is one of the largest freshwater fish and anglers in the region have landed to a huge 300 kgs or 661lb!

Joint leader, David added: “In over 30 years of fishing, The Tribal Fishing Experience provided me with the best fishing of my life. Against the backdrop of the most powerful waterfall in the world, you just don’t know what is on the end of the line, it could be a 10 lbs catfish or a 200 lbs Nile Perch!

“The locations are steeped in natural beauty, and you are surrounded by a host of wildlife from hippos to elephants, zebras, and every bird you can think of, it really is a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

A packed fishing agenda awaits – keen fly anglers will delight in the fact that Nile Perch and the tricky Tetra fish can be targeted with strong fly-fishing tackle and methods of catching the Nile Perch include live bait fish suspended mid-water and lure fishing with imitation baits.

All fishing is done on a catch and release basis only.

Highlights of The Tribal Fishing Experience include:

The Tribal Fishing Experience has meticulously chosen a selection of world-class fishing destinations, each boasting a unique ecosystem and a rich abundance of marine life.

Participants will enjoy comfortable all inclusive accommodation including luxury safari lodges in Murchison Falls.

Whether you are a seasoned angler or a first-time fisher, The Tribal Fishing Experience caters to all skill levels. Customised itineraries are offered.

It’s not just a fishing trip; it’s a chance to become part of a close-knit community of like-minded individuals who share a passion for fishing and exploration.

Spaces are limited and can be booked here: www.thetribeexperience.world/fishing

Leadership coach shares 5* tips as hospitality industry braces for more uncertainty

Leadership coach shares 5* tips as hospitality industry braces for more uncertainty

Hospitality executive turned leadership coach Debbie Taylor is sharing insights from 25 years in a sector facing further staffing pressures.

As hospitality businesses brace for more uncertainty, the former senior manager of The Balmoral tells others in the industry how they can prepare.

Staffing shortages are set to be exasperated as work and visit visas are expected to increase by 15% on 4 October 2023, compounding a recruitment crisis. UK immigration costs are much higher than in many other countries including USA, Canada, Germany and France.

Turbulent times

Debbie said: “From general manager to director and board director and now as a coach, mentor and adviser to leaders in the sector, I’ve seen and experienced very turbulent times.

“First came the challenges of digitisation and internet bookings; the recession; the onslaught of rivalry from private rental providers; then, a staffing exodus following Brexit, the pandemic, plus the demands for better pay and work-life balance.

“This is the evolution of a sector that has at times served customers better than it has retained its staff.”

Debbie – who was general manager of the 5-star Rocco Forte Balmoral Hotel before becoming as managing director of the Old Course, St Andrews – says attracting and retaining talent goes hand-in-hand with providing customer service excellence, having seen leaders cause irreparable damage to their businesses by letting down staff and customers.

Now Debbie works with individual clients and organisations across UK and global hotel and restaurant groups in London and the North West to help leaders find their personal voice in bringing staff on board against the backdrop of ongoing change.

She offers this advice to leaders in the sector:

Universal challenges

“When working with more traditional leaders I encourage them to accept the realities they are facing, and the individual role they want to play in helping meet the challenges faced,” she said.

“Staff shortages are widespread across the sector, but is not unique to hospitality. I’m often asked for guidance and advice from senior leaders in the sector on how their restaurant or hotel can improve its staff retention.

“There’s no quick fix, but it is time to accept that the power balance has shifted and people in all divisions – finance, operations, HR, to service roles – want flexibility in some form, and for this to be acknowledged by their employer. They are also often seeking personal development and a career path that provides a roadmap for their future.

“Customers also understand the issues, and they care more about things like low sector pay and excellent service.

“Those with responsibilities to manage people should respond to every business decision with their current or prospective employees in mind. A happy, valued and engaged workforce paired with excellent service is the goal – profit will follow.

Personal-led financial resilience

“Consider the importance of fair pay in the cost of living crisis, including pay structures for those on the lowest pay in your business.”

“This could include looking at service charges or building up financial reserves to deliver bonuses for a successful month. The day-to-day roles of customer-facing jobs vary based on demand and adding incentives for busier periods is another way to invest in your staff more regularly. Providing promotional opportunities where earning potential will grow, alongside enhanced responsibilities is also key.”

Building back trust

“Staff and consumers have also had a rocky ride during the post-pandemic hospitality crisis. Inconsistencies in cost increases, staffing issues and services constantly being redesigned or cut back have impacted brand loyalty.”

“Staff and customers have seen first-hand that they must shoulder the impact of the macro picture and to attract new talent you must create a vision that is based on trust and appreciation. Loyalty goes both ways. Employees are also looking to join and stay in organisations with a positive culture, based on mutual respect and where their contribution is recognised and valued.”

Taking time with staff is priceless

“Making time for your staff, and showing humility and vulnerability can make a huge difference to management style and customer experience and it doesn’t have to come with a huge price tag. Be appreciative of your staff and get to know them personally. That’s the beauty of a person-led business; it acknowledges that there are lives attached to outputs and it’s easier to prevent a crisis than deal with one.

“Saying hello when you are in your business, knowing the names of your employees and treating teams with individual focus is key to creating a resilient and dedicated team.”

“For example, it costs nothing to check in with a staff member who is consistently late for work, or whose performance has deteriorated. Clients often come to me and question how to address this. However, consider that it may actually be a solvable problem. Listening, caring and finding out what’s going on at home, perhaps adjusting their work pattern or schedule will make them feel valued. Always treat staff like you would be keen to be treated yourself, and you will see mutually beneficial growth.”

Make time for your own personal development – it starts with you

“It can often feel lonely at the top or among a leadership team. Once you’re at a senior level you can lose sight of your goals and values and how they mesh with the business. The world is changing, and as leaders, we need to keep learning, sharpen our skills and keep our approach fresh and up to date.

“Working with a coach that has experience in your sector – being a trusted and confidential sounding board, and helping you to increase your self-awareness– can help forge a path forward.” It is key to work to your strengths but also to understand your weaknesses and development areas.

“There can be a tendency for the hospitality sector’s challenges to paint a backdrop of anxiety that can be overwhelming. However, getting your personal development plan down on paper, with actions and accountability, ensures you have an individual investment in rebuilding the sector to be the best it can be while bringing staff along with you.”

Stanislav Kondrashov Explores Intriguing Realm of Parallel Universes in Latest Publication

Stanislav Kondrashov has unveiled his latest publication, delving into the enthralling concept of parallel universes. This exploration extends to its potential implications for our comprehension of reality, the notion of free will, and even spiritual beliefs.

In “The Alluring World of Parallel Universes,” readers embark on a journey into the realm of parallel universes, a place where every unmade choice and “what if?” scenario becomes a reality in a separate dimension. This publication is not a mere flight of fancy or a science fiction narrative; it earnestly engages with contemporary theories in quantum physics and cosmology.

Kondrashov shines a spotlight on the Many-Worlds Theory within quantum physics, proposing that every quantum event could potentially result in the universe splitting into multiple branches. Additionally, he underscores the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) as a potential arena for scientific evidence, where anomalies may indicate the existence of alternate universes.

The author emphasises that while the concept of parallel universes has been a recurring theme in popular culture, ranging from literary works like “Narnia” to television series such as “Stranger Things,” the scientific community is beginning to consider it as a plausible hypothesis. This opens up a multitude of questions regarding humanity’s unique position within the cosmos.

The existence of parallel universes has the potential to revolutionise our comprehension of reality, consciousness, and spiritual beliefs. Kondrashov explores how this subject transcends the boundaries of advanced physics and delves into profound philosophical inquiries.

Readers are invited to join in on contemplating the fascinating concept of parallel universes, as covered in this thought-provoking by reading the full publication and watching the accompanying video. All are invited to take a look at Stanislav’s social media channels and for more insights and content from Stanislav Kondrashov, visit www.stanislavkondrashov.com

Prestigious British Heritage Reveals the Sandringham Wool Bedding Lineup

Prestigious British Heritage Reveals the Sandringham Wool Bedding Lineup

Ever contemplated the origins of your bedding, especially when it claims to be made from British wool? Amanda Oldfield, the visionary behind the Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company, pondered this very question. Upon discovering the real source of her British Wool bedding, Amanda felt compelled to set things right. And, with the partnership of fellow Made in Britain member Baavet, she’s doing just that.

Amanda shares her journey, stating, “Stephen and I founded Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company after I was duped into purchasing two metal beds, being led to believe they were handcrafted in Britain, and unfortunately, these practises continue today,” Committed to sustainability and crafting products from 100% British-sourced raw materials, the company already held the distinction of being a Carbon Neutral+ company and a long-standing Made in Britain member. Yet, Amanda was determined to ensure that the commitment to authenticity and environmentally friendly practices extended further. This led to the company’s decision to produce all their products to their own high standards of traceability through their team of exceptional artisans, severing ties with third-party suppliers.

In Spring 2023, Wrought Iron and Brass Beds Co. unveiled the highly anticipated Sandringham Wool Collection of mattresses, elevating luxury to new heights and redefining the concept of “hyper-local sourcing.” Collaborating closely with Sandringham Estate, this collection exclusively sources 100% of its fleece from Aberfield sheep that graze on the organic pastures of Sandringham Estate. In fact, a small herd resides less than 100 meters from the company’s workshop.

Amanda’s investigation into third-party products offered to customers unearthed unsettling revelations about the true origin of purportedly British products and imported fillings used as substitutes. She reflects, “When I started investigating the third-party products, we offered our customers. I was horrified to discover the origins of where these British claimed products were made or that fillings were supplemented with imported alternatives.” It was particularly disheartening to learn that British wool was being sent overseas for the production of items claimed to be “British.”

This discovery paved the way for Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Co. to expand the Sandringham Wool Collection and join forces with fellow Made in Britain member, Baavet, to create a truly authentic range of British-made wool bedding.

Baavet Ltd, founded by Roger and Lesley Payne 15 years ago, was a pioneer in introducing British-made wool duvets to the market. Their extensive range of soft-filled wool bedding utilies fleece from their farm and local farmers, ensuring fair compensation for the wool. Like Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Co., Baavet places a significant emphasis on quality, attention to detail, and a profound commitment to sustainability. After months of collaboration, these like-minded businesses, each deeply passionate about their craft and the environment, have come together to create something exceptional.

Amanda expresses her enthusiasm, saying, “With a focus on authenticity, transparency, and quality craftsmanship, Stephen and I established the Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Company. It took months of research to find the right partner, but after meeting with Roger and Lesley at their workshop in Porthmadog and discussing their dedication to British-made wool bedding, I knew they were the perfect match for us.” Amanda adds. “Our values of authenticity and fairness required us to work with a fellow British manufacturer who shared the same standards. The discovery of the similarities between our family-owned companies was a perfect complement. We both value our membership in the Made in Britain association, which gives customers confidence and clarity that they purchase genuine British-made products.”

This exclusive bedding range comprises three duvets and mattress toppers, all cocooned in layers of comforting 100% Sandringham wool sourced directly from the organic pastures of Sandringham Estate. This collection, available exclusively at Wrought Iron and Brass Bed Co., cannot be found anywhere else. Partnering with Baavet, another proud member of Made in Britain, ensures that consumers can luxuriate in the comfort of authentic British-made, traceable-to-the-farm wool bedding.
