<p>When Superstorm Sandy struck, it left an unprecedented amount of wreckage in its wake. For disaster relief agencies the priority was clearing the debris as quickly as possible to get residents back to some semblance of normal life.</p>
<p>Now, almost four months later, most of the debris has been cleared from streets and beaches.</p>
<p>But what happens to the roughly 4 million cubic yards of debris in <keyword id="6355838" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="New-York">New York</keyword> State once it's been collected?</p>
<p>There are two staging locations in New York City, one on Staten Island and one at Riis Park in the Rockaways. The removal process is paid for by FEMA and overseen by the US Army Corps of Engineers.</p>
<p>We visited Riis Park, where they have processed the equivalent of 30 stories of the Empire State Building since the storm struck, to see where it all goes.</p>

Here's What Happens To The Massive Piles Of Debris Leftover From Sandy

<p><div class="image-container float_right" style="width:480px"><div class="image"><p class="source">Business Insider</p></div></div>Emily Hodgson and Emilie Riis are annoyed. Their favorite <keyword id="69300" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="nike">Nike</keyword> sneakers are only made in men's sizes.</p>
<p>So the two ad agency employees, working at London's 18 Feet and Rising, decided to start a campaign that has one goal: <a href="http://www.adweek.com/adfreak/pair-ad-women-take-stand-against-nike-over-sneaker-designs-151393">Spam Nike until they the Nike Air Max Sunset Pack in a women's size 8.</a></p>
<p>"All the best Nike trainers, the good ones that look shit-hot, don’t come in women’s small sizes," <a href="http://purpleunicornplanet.com/about/">they write.</a></p>
<p><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Hodgson and Riis created a </span><a href="http://purpleunicornplanet.com/">website called Purple Unicorn Planet</a><span style="line-height: 1.5em;"> that shows pictures of various shoes that are just for men. They then prompt people to email or tweet at Nike to make changes. Also encouraged: using the <a href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23PleaseJustDoIt&amp;src=typd">#PleaseJustDoIt</a> hashtag.</span></p>
<p>Nike has yet to respond to the campaign.</p>
<p><span>Here are some of the shoes that were only made for me:</span></p>

<p></p><div class="KonaFilter image-container display-table float_right"><div><div class="image on-image"></div><p></p></div></div>Insulin prices have&#xa0;rising - increases that mean some people are spending as much on monthly diabetes-related expenses as <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/insulin-prices-increase-2016-9">their mortgage payment</a>.<p>As a result, the companies that make insulin have been under fire from the public and <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/bernie-sanders-criticizes-insulin-price-hikes-2016-11">politicians including US Senator Bernie Sanders</a>.&#xa0;</p><p>Now, one of those insulin-makers, Danish pharmaceutical company Novo Nordisk, says it will&#xa0;limit all future drug list price increases from the company to single digit percentages. Novo Nordisk made the announcement on its Website on Nov. 30, but only drew attention to it on Monday.&#xa0;</p><p>Novo Nordisk also pledged to keep out of pocket costs low to consumers through patient assistance programs and cheaper forms of insulin, as well as help change up the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/prescription-drug-costs-explained-2016-10">complicated drug pricing system</a>.&#xa0;</p><p>"While we can debate who pays what in different scenarios, it doesn't change the fact that many patients simply can't afford the medicine they need," Novo Nordisk president Jacob Riis <a href="http://press.novonordisk-us.com/leadership-perspectives?item=1">wrote on the Website</a>.</p><p>Riis also pointed to the difference between the list price the company sets and the net price that drugmakers get after rebates and other interactions with middle men in the supply chain.</p><p>According to data from ZS Associates a sales and marketing firm that works in the healthcare industry, Novo Nordisk's rebate rates were 47% in 2014, and 55% in 2015.&#xa0;Across the industry, ZS data shows that rebates paid out to PBMs and insurers have gone up from about $40 billion four years ago to $100-$130 billion by 2016. So while list prices continue to go up, net prices to the drugmakers have stayed mostly flat.</p><p>Here's an example of how much the list prices prices have increased for Novo's Novolog over the past 20 years.

Given its robust franchisee model, valuations, and strong expansion plans — analysts had recommended subscribing to this IPO. <br /><br />According to Angel Broking, Burger King was priced at a significant discount compared to Jubilant Foodworks and looking at the valuation and the growth of the company, the issue was ‘attractive.’<br /><br />The IPO opened up on December 2, and ahead of the offering, the company raised ₹364.5 crore from 55 anchor investors, including ICICI Prudential, Fidelity Funds, Government of Singapore, IDFC MF, SBI MF, among others. The IPO price band was set at ₹59-60 per share, and the grey market premium promises strong listing gains. <br /><br />The grey market premium of the food giant also soared nearly 58% to ₹34-35, up from 42% on the first day of subscription. The grey market premium is the measure of the extra amount that the market is ready to pay for a newly listed company’s shares. However, it is not an official measure of the market premium. But it is a fair indicator of demand for the shares in the market.<br /><br /><strong>Listing and subscription status <keyword id="8291503" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Burger-King-IPO">Burger King IPO</keyword><br /></strong><br />The basis of allotment for Burger King IPO will be announced on December 9, and the shares will hit the bourses on December 14. <br /><br />Once the basis of allotment is done, the investors can check their subscription status on Burger King IPO registrar’s Link Intime India Private <a href="https://linkintime.co.in/MIPO/IPO.aspx">website</a>. <br /><br />However, after this stellar response that Burger King India IPO has garnered, one thing is certain — not all investors will get the same amount of shares that they had subscribed for. <br /><b><br /> <strong>SEE ALSO: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/a-coordinated-global-network-of-hackers-tried-to-break-into-the-covid-19-cold-chain-which-transports-vaccines-at-94-degrees-fahrenheit/articleshow/79549902.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink">A coordinated, global network of hackers tried to break into the COVID-19 'cold chain,' which transports vaccines at -94 degrees Fahrenheit</a></strong><br /> <br /> </b><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/tech/news/sbis-mobile-banking-app-is-down-for-the-third-time-in-last-30-days/articleshow/79548953.cms" data-type="tilCustomLink"><strong>SBI’s mobile banking app is down for the third time in 30 days — digital services take a hit for the 25th time this year</strong></a><br />
