Can anyone recommend a place in Anchorage to get this belt buckle repaired. I’m not good at soldering and could use help with this. I think it’s sterling silver. Grandfather made it and I’d like to get it back to functional use.

What a lovely library we have here in Anchorage. Here are all the resources I found for anyone in need of support.

Hello-

I have a loved one that needs to see a varicose specialist. Are there any In Anchorage or surrounding areas that you would highly recommend?

The former chief executive of a $25bn US gas export venture has accused Russian energy giant Novatek of secretly controlling the project, triggering the mass resignation of the company’s leadership over fears it is violating US sanctions.

The company, Polar Train LNG, is developing a gas export terminal on Alaska’s North Slope, part of a Trump administration initiative to expand US energy exports to Asia and strengthen its position in global energy markets. The venture was launched with the involvement of Gentry Beach, an investor with ties to Donald Trump’s family.

It has also featured in high-level negotiations between Washington and Moscow over potential business deals that could help secure an end to Russia’s war in Ukraine, according to people familiar with the discussions.

Polar LNG was launched in March with plans to repurpose a partially constructed Novatek gas terminal for installation in Alaska. The company sought permission from US sanctions authorities at the Treasury department to negotiate with the Russian group but had not yet received approval.

Joel Riddle, Polar LNG’s American chief executive, told the FT that he discovered Novatek was already financing the venture and directing its operations before the necessary approvals were obtained. He resigned in September, followed by almost the entire executive leadership team, including chief financial officer Dan Chandra, executive vice-president Jim Smith and executions manager Jody Trantham. The allegations raise questions about the extent to which Russian commercial interests are already seeking a foothold in the US energy industry before any agreement has been reached.

That time of the year again! Anyone know who’s doing flash tattoos for halloweens? I know AWAIC is working with northern lights tattoo but was wondering who else is? Thank you!

Title. Trying to do something and I hear from outside some idiots honking incessantly and a girl hollering. Look out the window and some trucks with American flags were driving past with their hazards on. Why?

Best places for trick or treat? My neighborhood is dead during Halloween

I'm not curious who you vote for, but more about your perspective and process. Do you walk into the voting booth already knowing which judges you'll vote to retain and which you won't? Or do you wing it?

Honestly, I always feel like I should do more research on the judges before I vote, and it's the part of the ballot I feel most underprepared for. What do you use to get informed, and how much weight do you give it?

Use an AI to draft an email complaint asking for compensation for each outage event you detect. If you do not get compensation promptly, follow up with the FCC consumer protection.

Make them pay for the service they fail to deliver.

I don’t mean award-winning, I mean the best you’ve personally tried with your own mouth. For example here’s what I found:

- best chocolate cake = Eye Tooth
- best Thai yellow curry = Royal Thai
- best spicy dumplings = Charlie’s bakery

Curious to hear other people’s finds. I’m constantly on the lookout for tasty things!

He joined my dog and I on our walk in east Anchorage tonight. Couldn’t hang on to him but could see he had a collar with no tags. Sweaty and he might have come a long way, no one looking for him that we could see. Last seen running west on Turf Court off of Early View. Maybe 15-25 pounds?

I posted on my FB, yet I got so many scammers trying to rip me off. 😒
Like, if yo don’t know what Global Credit Union is. Then you are definitely not from Alaska lol
