A new mobile coverage checker has been launched in Monmouthshire. The tool, created by in collaboration with Streetwave, allows residents to check the quality of their mobile signal. The council began working with Streetwave in September 2023. First, they aimed to measure the quality of signals in the county by integrating data collection equipment into the council's waste collection vehicles to conduct weekly mobile coverage surveys across the region. The survey was commissioned by The River Severn Partnership Advanced Wireless Innovation Region (RSPAWIR), which was awarded £3.75 million of government funding to support the growth of wireless innovation and technology in key economic sectors. The coverage checker provides information on which mobile networks offer the fastest speeds outside homes, businesses, and other locations of interest. It features data collected outside most addresses within the council for EE, Vodafone, 3, and O2. Councillor Sara Burch, cabinet member for rural affairs, housing, and tourism, said: "This is an excellent initiative by the RSPAWIR and will provide invaluable insight for people across the region. "This tool will help inform businesses, local authorities, and individuals when they are making decisions on service provision by ensuring they have access to the most up-to-date technology and the strongest connections." The initiative is part of the council's ongoing commitment to ensuring residents have access to reliable information about their connectivity options within the county.

SANTA CRUZ, Calif. — Persistent high surf and flooding threats along California’s coast had residents on high alert a day after a major storm was blamed for one man’s death and the partial collapse of a pier , which propelled three people into the Pacific Ocean. The National Weather Service on Christmas Eve warned of dangerous, large-breaking waves of up to 35 feet. Its latest high surf warning was to be in effect until 6 p.m. Tuesday. “Large waves can sweep across the beach without warning, pulling people into the sea from rocks, jetties and beaches,” the weather service said in a Christmas Eve bulletin. In Santa Cruz, where a municipal wharf under construction partially collapsed on Monday, most beaches were cordoned off as they were inundated with high surf and debris. Residents received an alert on their phones Tuesday morning notifying them to “avoid all beaches including coastal overlook areas such as rocks, jetties or cliffs.” It warned powerful waves could sweep entire beaches unexpectedly. Local officials said there could be further damage to the wharf, but no more pieces broke off overnight. The wharf collapsed and fell into the ocean midday Monday, taking three people with it. Two people were rescued by lifeguards and a third swam to safety. No one was seriously injured. “We are anticipating that what is coming toward us is more serious than what was there this morning,” Santa Cruz Mayor Fred Keeley said Monday. The structure was in the middle of a $4 million renovation following destructive storms last winter about 70 miles south of San Francisco. “It’s a catastrophe for those down at the end of the wharf,” said David Johnston, who was allowed onto the pier on Monday to check on his business, Venture Quest Kayaking. Tony Elliot, the head of the Santa Cruz Parks & Recreation Department, estimated that about 150 feet of the end of the wharf fell into the water. It was immediately evacuated and will remain closed indefinitely. Some of the wharf’s pilings are still in the ocean and remain “serious, serious hazards” to boats, the mayor said. Each piling weighs hundreds of pounds and is being pushed by powerful waves. “You are risking your life, and those of the people that would need to try and save you by getting in or too close to the water,” the National Weather Service’s Bay Area office said on the social platform X. Building inspectors were looking at the rest of the pier’s structural integrity. Some California cities ordered beachfront homes and hotels to evacuate early Monday afternoon as forecasters warned that storm swells would continue to increase throughout the day. In Watsonville along the Monterey Bay, first responders were called to Sunset State Beach, a state park, around 11:30 a.m. Monday for a report of a man trapped under debris. The Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office believes a large wave pinned him there. The man was pronounced dead at a hospital. The storm’s high surf also likely pulled another man into the Pacific Ocean around noon Monday at Marina State Beach, nearly 13 miles south of Watsonville, authorities said. Strong currents and high waves forced searchers to abandon their efforts roughly two hours later as conditions worsened. The man remained missing Monday evening. In a post on X, the National Weather Service office in Portland, Ore., said, “It will likely go down as some of the highest surf this winter.”

NEWARK, Del, Dec. 17, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The global market for herbal beauty products is poised for robust growth over the next decade, with a projected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.1%. According to a recent market analysis, the sector is expected to increase in value from USD 75,098.55 million in 2024 to USD 135,897.65 million by 2034. This growth is attributed to several key drivers, including increasing consumer awareness of the harmful effects of synthetic chemicals, the rise of influencer marketing, and growing consumer demand for safe, non-toxic skincare alternatives. Factors Impacting Sales of Herbal Beauty Products Availability of a Wide Range Driving Cruelty-Free Cosmetics Products Sales Increasing usage of beauty products with naturally derived herbal ingredients like lavender, chamomile, rosemary, jojoba oil, Aloe Vera, etc., to treat skin, acne, and hair problems are expected to drive the demand for herbal beauty products through 2031. The surging availability of a wide variety of herbal beauty products in retail stores is anticipated to remain a chief growth driver. With competition soaring, major players in herbal beauty products are more inclined to product launches and make them available at competitive pricing. To gain an edge over rivals, beauty brands are adopting novel tactics. Some of the premium brands are launching budget-friendly products, while more humble names in the industry are paving their way into the premium products category with the launch of novel beauty products derived from exotic herbal ingredients. For instance, in 2021, with an expansion of the business portfolio, the Indian natural beauty company Lotus Botanicals launched a new premium clean beauty brand. The motive of the player is to provide a clean and natural beauty product to the customers. Consumers are more aware of the ingredients that are good for their skin and are looking for safer and clean herbal beauty products. The new brand of the Lotus would imbibe all such qualities. Key Market Drivers Regional Insights into the Herbal Beauty Products Market In East Asia, the market in China is expected to represent a relatively high-value share over the forecast period. Many women in the region use a potent orange root called turmeric as a herbal ingredient. A beauty product that contains turmeric helps the consumer to reduce wrinkles and even skin tone The USA holds the largest regional market share of herbal beauty products. Consumers in the USA are more inclined towards activities like green development and environmental safety.

Key Takeaways from the Herbal Beauty Products Market “Technological advancements in research and development are crucial, with continuous innovations in herbal formulations that not only expand the product range but also address an increasing array of skin concerns, from acne to aging, thereby broadening the market's customer base.” - says Sudip Saha Managing Director and Co-Founder at Future Market Insights. Prominent Drivers of the Herbal Beauty Products Market How is anticipated to Changing Consumer Perception Affect Herbal Beauty Products Sales? The preference of consumers for herbal beauty products is increasing due to the rise in awareness regarding the benefits of herbal ingredients. People are increasingly inclined towards herbal beauty owing to the presence of toxic ingredients and chemicals in synthetic cosmetics and skincare products, which are known to cause various skin problems and adverse effects. Furthermore, nowadays, people are more aware of the benefits of using herbal beauty products through advertisements and various promotional activities conducted across social media sites like Instagram, Facebook, and Youtube. These campaigns often stress on effect of herbal beauty products on improving skin tone, texture, and appearance. Herbal extracts are primarily added to beauty products because they are often rich in antimicrobial and antioxidant properties and offer pigmentation inhibition. Moreover, herbal ingredients like vitamins, witch hazel, willow herb, Green tea extract, and botanical extracts protect skin from UV radiation and pollution. All these are factors impacting sales of herbal beauty products. Competitive Landscape of the Herbal Beauty Products Market The global market for herbal beauty products is experiencing robust growth, as leading companies and manufacturers focus on expanding their product lines and investing in research and development to create innovative new formulations. Key industry players are also forming strategic partnerships to strengthen their market position, extending their distribution networks to reach a broader consumer base across various regions. At the same time, they are ramping up marketing efforts to educate consumers on the benefits of herbal beauty supplements, while also distinguishing their products from synthetic alternatives. To meet shifting consumer preferences, these companies are integrating sustainability initiatives into their production processes and packaging, in response to the rising demand for environmentally conscious products. By tapping into the growing interest in natural and organic beauty products, they aim to drive further growth in the herbal beauty market worldwide. Expensive Product Line and Presence of Pseudo Products Affecting Herbal Beauty Products Market Growth Herbal beauty products are comparatively more expensive and premium-priced than synthetic beauty products. This factor is acting as herbal beauty products market constraint. Some key factors that affect the price of herbal beauty products include high and volatile prices of key raw materials, labor-intensive production processes, and cost-intensive product certification processes. The high price of raw materials leads to a decline in gross margins for the major players in herbal beauty products. The cost-intensive product certification process also involves a high level of initial investments. Along with this, major players in herbal beauty products involve a high expenditure on labor. This entire factor acts as herbal beauty products market constraint. Other challenges faced by major players in herbal beauty products include the availability of pseudo-beauty products. Many customers are unable to distinguish between natural beauty products and false marketing claims. This results in a considerable number of customers opting for pseudo-products, which is a factor that is hampering the uptake of herbal beauty products posing as herbal beauty products market constraints.

Mozambique Interior Minister Pascoal Ronda told a news conference in Maputo late Tuesday that a wave of violence and looting was sparked by the court's announcement a day earlier. He said it was led by mostly youthful supporters of losing candidate Venancio Mondlane, who received 24% of the vote, second to Chapo, who got 65%. “From the preliminary survey, in the last 24 hours, 236 acts of violence were recorded throughout the national territory that resulted in 21 deaths, of which two members of the Police of the Republic of Mozambique also died," Ronda said. He said 13 civilians and 12 police were injured. Ronda said 25 vehicles were set on fire, including two police vehicles. He added that 11 police subunits and a penitentiary were attacked and vandalized and 86 inmates were freed. Tensions were high in the country ahead of the The Constitutional Council ruling on Monday and violent protests started immediately after the announcement was made. Footage circulating on various social media platforms showed protesters burning and looting shops in the capital Maputo and the city of Beira, where some city officials were reported to have fled the city. Mondlane has called for a “shutdown” starting Friday but violence in the country has already escalated and the situation remained tense in the capital on Tuesday night following a day of violence and looting by protesters. The country of 34 million people has been on edge since the Oct. 9 general elections . Mondlane’s supporters, mostly hundreds of thousands of young people, have since taken to the streets, and have been met by gunfire from security forces. This brings to more than 150 the number of people who have died from post-election violence since the initial results were announced by the country's electoral body.
