Have you got a Google My Business profile?
Have you got a Google My Business profile? If not, prepare to lose a chunk of your local leads to those that do!
As digital marketers, we firmly believe that all businesses should have a Google My Business (GMB) profile. Whether your business is large or small, a verified and fully optimised profile will help to bring potential customers to your website.
Did you know, according to a recent report, 4 in 5 consumers conduct local internet searches.
If you don’t have a GMB profile, it’s less likely you’ll appear in local search results. This could potentially lead to you to missing new leads and sales.
- Google Posts – these are displayed in the GMB listing for 7 days, ideal for special offers and breaking news announcements etc.
- The ability to upload photos of your products, services, team, and showroom.
- Managing and responding to Google reviews from your customers – Google encourages responding to all reviews, whether good or not so good, as reviews can have an impact on how your company website and GMB is ranking in Google Search.
- Google Insights – these can range from weekly, monthly, and quarterly user engagements statistics to data collected from Insights including Photo Views, Website Clicks, and Phone Calls
What are the benefits of having a Google My Business profile?
There are heaps of benefits of having a verified Google My Business profile. These range from managing online reviews to free advertising and brand awareness.
GMB provides a physical presence for your business on the internet, essential for optimising your online visibility.
Through GMB, you can work in tandem with your other online profiles such as third-party review sites, social media, and business directory listings, to help maintain NAP consistency.
Not your bog standard profile
Google My Business is not just a bog standard online profile. There are many other features which will entice click-throughs to your company website. These include but are not limited to:
Google My Business in a nutshell
Essentially, a Google My Business profile allows your business to be highlighted to a wider audience in Google search results, as well as in Google Maps.

Do you have antivirus software to protect your network? Do you think that it’s enough to keep your network secure? If so, it’s important to know this: although antivirus software is a crucial element of network security, there’s more that you need to do to ensure it’s protected. It’s also important to factor in human error, which can lead to dangerous breaches of network security.
You need antivirus software but you also need to train your staff on network security and how to maintain it at all times. Otherwise it’s like buying a car with all the latest safety features and then giving it to a teenager to drive on the freeway. It’s a recipe for disaster. What you’d actually do would be to send the teenager for driving lessons and allow them to acquire some supervised driving experience.
It’s the same with network security. When you hire new staff, make sure they understand how your network security works before you create login credentials for them. You should instruct them in the basics of cybersecurity and you can monitor their usage for a short period to make sure they have the necessary competence. Simple mistakes can cause fatal errors and punch a huge hole in your network security. Here are three things that your new staff need to know about.
1) Dangerous Downloads
A common scenario is that your new staff member will run into a workflow roadblock and will try to get round it by deciding to use alternative software that’s not installed on their workstation. Downloading it themselves is easy enough. The problem is that untested downloads are potentially a serious threat to security. Third party companies may develop software that contains dangerous spyware and other malware that can harvest your confidential data.
You need to make it clear that software should not be downloaded without prior permission. It’s often possible for someone to download their preferred software and just click ‘override’ if your antivirus system tries to block it. One download of bad software can put your network in the hands of hackers and cybercriminals. Make sure you enact a strict and unambiguous ‘no unauthorized downloading’ policy.
Secure Remote Access
A wireless network that wasn’t set up with strong security measures in place is another potential threat to your network. To make things easier for everyone you may have a company-wide password (‘guest’ is a common one). This makes it easy for hackers to logon and do what they want with your network and your resources.
If you don’t change your wireless password regularly then this problem just gets bigger. Over time, most companies have some staff turnover, so ex-employees will still be able to logon. It’s also common for passwords to be recorded by staff so they don’t forget them, only for that piece of paper, or the device they’ve stored it on, to be accessed by others. You don’t want to give hackers the key to the door of your network. Resist passwords that are too simple and change them regularly for better remote access security.
3) Prevent Email Scammers
Creative cybercriminals have come up with thousands of email scams and they’re not going away any time soon. It’s easy to spot some of them, such as the ones that tell you that you’ll win a million dollars just by clicking on a link. Others are more cunning and more likely to trick people. These include carefully crafted emails that look as if they come from a legitimate institution like your bank, and messages that include information about the recipient, which make them seem genuine.
Train your employees in the risks of email scams. Even the smartest employee can be fooled by a clever scam and the cybercriminals put a lot of effort into enticing people to believe that they’re for real. Again, an employee might be tempted to click ‘override’ when your anti-spam system flags up a dangerous download. Even a half-hour training session could make all the difference, so employees are alert to the dangers of email scammers and their tactics.
You can (and should) have a quality antivirus solution in place but it can be bypassed by people who don’t fully appreciate the risks of clicking on pop-up ads and downloading attachments or links in emails. Our Unified Threat Management tool is a powerful network security solution that includes a strong firewall, content filtering and other protections, but even the best measures can be rendered useless by someone who doesn’t fully understand how security works.
One of the best things you can do to protect the integrity of your network is training your employees. Quikteks can help. We can assist in cybersecurity training for your staff, for both hardware and software use. Call Quikteks at (973) 882-4644 for more information on the different cybersecurity measures you can deploy.

green muster competition – an initiative fully funded by ta ya group economic daily news article by hsieh sheng-九游会官网真人游戏第一品牌
ta ya electric wire & cable believes that charitable activity isn’t restricted to the donation of money or resources. it is arguably rarer and more valuable for a corporation to care about public issues and propose relevant initiatives to be incorporated as a part of its overall csr policy.
t he green muster competition is an award for eco-friendly contributions fully funded by ta ya group, who has pledged to host the award perpetually. the mission of the green muster competition is to bring together notable figures in environmental protection, outstanding projects and creative designs on a yearly basis for mutual sharing and in turn generate more driving force for the initiative.
“learning and appreciating the beauty of environment” was the theme for 2014, with the first prize awarded to the southern spirit (one winner, with a cash prize of nt$ 300,000 in sponsorship). other awards include pristine homeland award and the magic school of green technologies award. applications for participation in the event is always more than welcomed.
operating on a similar vein, the royal poinciana forum organized by taya pristine homeland foundation is an event that advocates the concept of being environmentally friendly in all aspects of one’s life, including food, clothing, lodging, transportation, education and recreation.
at the same time, volunteers from ta ya electric & cable have also been actively involved in relevant activities. starting from 2017, ta ya’s volunteers have taken part in the monthly mountain-to-sea canal greenway and embankment cleanup organized by the taijiang campus of tainan community university as a way to have more interaction with the community residents while learning and taking part in river management. haiwei road in an-nan district is scheduled to be open to traffic in early july. ta ya’s volunteers have taken part in the tree planting activity and all looked forward to the chinaberry trees growing quickly. whilst in rende district, ta ya’s volunteers also participated in the dajia wetland maintenance operation planned by wetlands taiwan organization by helping to remove alien plant species and repairing the pedestrian walkway in preparation of the base site for environmental education in the future.

An objection is an amazing opportunity to understand the needs of the customer. Most sales professionals squander this opportunity. They try to minimize the objection or convince the customer that their solution is best.
Instead, try to ask as many questions as you have to in order to understand their concern. Your demeanor should be calm, upbeat and inquisitive. Once you understand the root of the problem, deal with it head-on.

Brief study design descriptions including inclusion criteria and start dates for RADC cohort studies.
Substudies are projects that collect additional data or measurements in addition to what was originally included in the parent cohort study, such as neuroimaging, actigraphy, and decision making. Because substudies start after the initiation of the parent cohort studies and are not collected across all cohorts, a timeline is provided to indicate the start of each available substudy within each cohort.
A variety of data is collected through the RADC cohort studies and substudies, organized, processed for analyses, and made available for research inside and outside of the RADC. Sources of data include interviews, cognitive assessments, clinical evaluations, laboratory testing, neuropathologic evaluation, medical devices, genetic sequencing, and neuroimaging, among others. The variables documented here have been carefully created and reviewed by the faculty and staff of the RADC. As we complete the development and publication of new types of data and make them available for sharing, documentation of new variables will be added to this website.
The RADC maintains a collection of microarray and next-generational sequencing datasets derived from biological samples from participants in studies. These datasets are available by request and/or via download from the ROSMAP page at AMP-AD's site on Synapse.org .

“Are you just going round and round. There are better ways to travel. The captain struggled with his boots they were never happy. Ironic. As a boy they called him ‘lucky feet’. She was singing in town. Had a nice set of irregular talons. Nearly tore my face off. I had to stop the flow of blood with dirty leaves. Made me look like a tree creature. People pushed coins into my pocket. They didn’t think I would notice. I’m allergic to metal. It makes me sprout. March is a busy month. My clothes are dirty. My teeth are full of holes. Mother is out in the garden catching insects and dragging them back to her nest. Her size is a constant flux. When I shake my tape recorder it gets agitated and aggressive. It has stung me twice today already.”

Safely Transporting Dangerous Goods
Essential chemicals and petroleum products―used for everything from purifying the water we drink to heating our homes and fuelling our vehicles ― safely travel across our country by rail every day. Getting these goods from point A to point B safely is a priority for Canada’s railways. Of the hundreds of thousands of dangerous goods carloads that move by train each year, 99.99 per cent reach their destination without a release caused by an accident—a safety record the industry is working hard to maintain.
Working to Keep Canadians Safe
Railways are required by law to move dangerous goods, which represent roughly 12 per cent of all rail traffic in Canada. The movement of these products is strictly regulated; the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act requires railcars carrying dangerous goods to meet strict standards, shipments to be properly packaged, labelled and documented, and employees to be trained to safely handle railcars. Trains carrying dangerous goods are also inspected—not only at their departure point, but also all along their route.
While the vast majority of dangerous goods tank cars currently in service in North America are actually owned by rail customers and leasing companies, the new TC-117 tank car standard will still go a long way towards improving rail safety. The standard requires tank cars carrying flammable liquids to have thicker steel shells than previous models, as well as thermal insulation and full head shields, among other improvements.
Sharing Information and Planning Ahead to Ensure Safety
Railways must have emergency response plans in place, to ensure an immediate and comprehensive response in the event of a transportation incident. By law, they must provide municipalities with regular reports about the products moving through their communities, including the number of unit trains, the percentage of railcars carrying dangerous goods, and the nature and volume of those goods. In addition, Canada’s railways have developed a mobile application—AskRail™—to give emergency responders real-time information about railcar contents.
Since 1999, the Railway Association of Canada’s Dangerous Goods (DG) Team has also helped the association’s members to meet the challenges of handling and transporting dangerous goods. The DG Team provides advice and training to railway personnel, and works with customers, community members and emergency responders to make sure they are prepared to deal with any incidents that do occur. The team helps communities to develop emergency response plans, and trains first responders through the Transportation Community Awareness and Emergency Response (TRANSCAER®) initiative. DG Team members are also on-call 24-hours a day, seven days a week at strategic points across Canada (Toronto, Montreal, and Edmonton) to provide emergency response expertise and support in the event of a railway incident.

In a new series, Jenessa Williams unravels the aesthetics trends emerging on social media and advises on how you can embrace them for yourself. This month: Normcore
Where does this trend come from?
Outfit 1: Thrifted College Sweater, Calvin Klein Jeans, North Face Jacket, New Balance Trainers, Google Pixel 6 Phone, Kanken Backpack, Seinfeld DVD Box Set, Sally Rooney ‘Normal People’ book
Originally coined by trend forecasting group K-Hole in the mid 2000s, normcore is said to speak of the joy of “finding liberation in being nothing special”.
Focusing on fitting in rather than standing out, it actively strides against the oversaturation of fast-fashion trends, focusing instead on building a stylish aesthetic of minimalism and practicality. In keeping with this value of ease, normcore relies heavily on simple, mass-produced items by brands such as Gap, North Face and Superdry, as well as all the core leading sports brands.
Though some normcore fashion may also utilize designer brands as a means of securing ‘quality’, it just as readily makes use of total basics and neutral colours, with a hefty emphasis on plainness or simple, instantly recognisable logos.
Though ‘normcore’ cinema, music or literature is rarely self-identifying, the growing success of popular media that prioritises an examination of everyday relationships over fantastical plot suggests that we may well all be in a phase of comforting quietness, choosing to find the excitement in the everyday.
Authors such as Sally Rooney, Sayaka Murata and even Jack Kerouac all fit a type of ‘normalcy’ that is much harder to pull off than it looks, establishing fictional worlds with enough vividity that they feel deeply relatable to your own.
The same might also be said for popular reality tv shows and YouTube vloggers; by following the often-mundane rituals of others, we find comfort in the slow pace of what we are watching, and bond with others over the shared experience of ‘event’ TV.
What does it look like?
Outfit 2: Tommy Hilfiger Dungarees, Cos Striped Top, Apiece Apart Coat, Aspinal of London Bag, Reebok Cap, Monica Vinader Earrings, Nike Air Force 1 Trainers, Real Estate ‘In Mind’ album
Essentially, normcore looks a lot like everyone else. Drawing heavily on ‘classic’ brand emblems and wardrobe essentials, the key to normcore is to look well-put together but not especially flashy, focusing on pieces that evoke a degree of timeliness, or at very least, a pre-millennium age before technology really amped up the speed with which we move through fashion trends.
Straight leg jeans, plain coloured t-shirts, simple hoodies and sportswear…all feel low-effort and evoke connotations of vague intellectualism, as if the wearer is far too busy pursuing worthy endeavours to care about something as frivolous as the latest trends.
This doesn’t mean to say that normcore fans don’t like technology or appreciate the expressive element of fashion. Many happily interacting with brands such as Apple, Starbucks, Amazon and Lulu Lemon, synonymous with convenience and unfussy utilitarianism that suits the modern lifestyle.
Normcore is also hugely appealing to those who choose not to identify strongly with a particular gender or sexuality, given the aesthetics’ penchant for unisex, comfortable clothing.
Very often, flashes of personality will still come through in a normcore wearers choice of colour, in the media they consume, or the tiny accessories they add in; a strong eyeliner, a fun keychain, or maybe even a nostalgic bag of hair accessory.
How can I embody it myself?
Outfit 3: Best Coast ‘Crazy For You’ album, Gilly Hicks Hollister Top, Primark Scrunchies, Lulu Lemon Leggings, Superdry Bumbag, Ralph Lauren Jacket, Converse Trainers, Sayaka Murata ‘Convenience Store Woman’ book, Typo Smoothie Cup
To establish the normcore look, you likely don’t need to try too hard. Think of the items in your wardrobe that you wear most often, the staples that have survived every clear-out, and the pieces that feel you genuinely feel good.
Though normcore does often incorporate big-name brands, the look needn’t be expensive; thrifted college sweaters, flannel button down shirts and plain jeans can be sourced easily on the second-hand market, topped off with a fresh trainer or re-styled by layering.
Slightly pricier investment pieces in plainer colours come with the satisfaction of knowing that they will pair seamlessly with plenty of outfits you already own, minimising any spenders guilt. Once you get used to the normcore way of living, you’ll likely find yourself wondering how you ever shopped so much in the first place.
In terms of inspiration, you needn’t look much further than TV sitcoms, whose costume designers often lean towards classic clothing as a means of creating viewer longevity.
90s shows such as ‘Friends’ and Seinfeld offer up a huge array of normcore outfits that can be spiced up depending on your chosen event or personality, but normally come back to a fairly pared-back range of all-American classic cuts and fits.
American ‘College-Rock’ bands such as Real Estate or might also provide inspiration, offering up a laid-back soundscape to match your new low-key way of living. Whether you’re ready to go full incognito or simply want a quicker way to get dressed for work, the normcore aesthetic is one that all generations can get behind—fancy labels or none.

When children are 6 to 9 years old it can be be tricky to keep them engaged and interested in reading. As I discovered with my own two children, even a 7 year old who has enjoyed reading can quickly start to loose interest if they do not find books that are right for them. Many parents, grandparents and teachers talk about how if is often difficult to find a good variety of stories for this age group. Yet if you know where to look and what you are looking for, there are plenty of wonderful stories to engage all sorts of readers.
The quality of books of books for 6 to 9 years that has been published in the last few years is amazing. However, experience has taught me that not all books or series for this age group are equal. There are some stories that are more likely to appeal to a wide range of readers, and some which will open doors to middle grade fiction in the future. Please find an up-dated selection of books, most of which are part of a series. to help every child become a readers who can read and wants to read for pleasure.

Definition of value-in-use
Value-in-use of an asset is the net present value of cash flows or some other benefits which is generated by an asset in a certain use for a certain owner. This term is used in the U.S. and is usually estimated at use and this value is less than the highest and best use and so this value is usually lesser than the market value. The value in use of an asset may be higher than market value, when a person gets special benefits like grandfathered zoning, agglomeration benefits, or extraordinary financing and at that time the value is regarded as an investment value.
The value in use of a property is the value or worth of that property under a specific use, which means the value of the property as it is being used at present. The value in use amount of a property may be more or less than its market value. For example, a land which is located at a place which is in the path of growth for a major project and is used as a small farm will have the value in use less than the market value. Such a land’s market value will be much higher than its value in use.
The concept of value in use first appeared in February 1987 and there were many people who favored it and wanted the value in use definition to be put in the official literature of American Society of Appraisers. The difference between the fair market value in exchange on tangible assets generally results in more residual value for intangible assets that is usually more than their value contribution. Since, it is difficult to find a real property according to the expectation, people are more inclined to pay premium to avoid startup costs and risk. It is for this reason; value in use definition is required. The value in use appraisal is best for business valuation and for allocation of purchase price. However, value in use appraisal is not suitable when a general use property has been vacant and is for sale in the open market or for financing purposes.

Now, nearly two years after the pandemic began, the global supply chain has mostly stabilized. But there’s still one industry where shortages continue to abound: semiconductor chip manufacturing.
And the auto industry has been one of the hardest hit.
Why are computer chips putting the brakes on new car production? Keep reading to find out.
What is a semiconductor chip?
A semiconductor chip, also called a microchip, serves as the “brain” of modern electronics. Manufactured from silicon, these highly engineered components are essentially a type of electric circuit. They include a series of transistors that function as tiny switches to control the flow of electrons.
Microchips can differ greatly in their complexity. For example, most credit cards feature a very basic chip as an added security measure. High-end computer processors, on the other hand, are incredibly complex. Today, these chips are used in nearly everything, from cars and smartphones to refrigerators and electric toothbrushes.
They’re extremely small, too (hence the name microchip). According to Intel, a leader in chip manufacturing, a single chip transistor is about 10,000 times smaller than a human hair! And to build a modern processor, billions of transistors are packed into an area about the size of a fingernail.
Why is there a chip shortage in the auto industry?
There are a few reasons why this shortage of microchips is hitting automakers particularly hard.
Modern vehicles are using more chips than ever before. With every new model, cars and trucks feature bigger infotainment systems and a host of other high-tech car safety features. Each of these technology-packed features relies on semiconductor chips.
The COVID-19 pandemic messed up supply and demand forecasts. When mass shutdowns and quarantines began in March 2020, auto manufacturers anticipated a huge drop in new car demand. So they reduced sales forecasts and cancelled part orders for components like microchips.
In hindsight, this move was shortsighted. Demand for new cars did indeed drop – but only temporarily. By the time automakers realized that Americans still wanted to buy new vehicles, chip manufacturers had already taken on work from other companies to replace their cancelled orders. That leads to our next question…
Why can’t manufacturers make more chips to meet demand?
Building semiconductor chips is an extremely complex, expensive and time-consuming process. For that reason, there are only a handful of chip manufacturers in the world. And all of those manufacturers are currently operating at full capacity.
Adding new manufacturing facilities, also called foundries, takes years of planning and billions of dollars in investment. And even if these foundries had the capacity to build new chips, the process of doing so takes time.
According to the Semiconductor Industry Association, it takes about 12 weeks to manufacture an average semiconductor (advanced chips can take up to 20 weeks to build!). Add in time to ramp up production and transport the finished product, and it’s estimated that the lead time for a new chip order is about six months.
How is the chip shortage affecting car prices?
Over the past year, this shortage of semiconductor chips has directly translated to a shortage of new vehicles on car lots. Many automakers have shut down production due to a lack of chips. It’s even been reported that Ford has filled parking lots across Detroit with nearly completed F-150 trucks, awaiting chip installation before they can be shipped to dealers.
A shortage of inventory means new cars are not only hard to find – but they’re also selling at (or above) the manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP). This has left many car shoppers turning to the used car market, where higher prices also abound.
According to industry data from Edmunds, the average transaction price for a used car was $25,410 in the second quarter of 2021. That’s up from $20,942 from the same time last year – a 21% increase!
So if you’re in the market for a new or used car, expect to pay more than ever. The only silver lining: Used car trade-in prices are also hitting record highs. (Looking for trade-in advice? Learn what to know before trading in your car.)
How long will the chip shortage last?
No one can predict exactly how soon the semiconductor chip shortage will end. But experts seem to agree that it’s not happening anytime soon.
Some auto executives are estimating production will not return to pre-pandemic levels until 2023. And chipmakers have said it could take upwards of a year or two for chip production to meet current demand.
Meanwhile, the shortage has drawn the attention of the White House, which announced plans to invest $50 billion in semiconductor manufacturing and research. But this federal aid will do more to prevent future shortages than solve the current one.
Protect your investment.
Whether new or used, buying a car is a big investment. That’s why it matters to know what you’re getting with your auto insurance – and to buy through a company you can trust.
Remember that a brand-new car depreciates the moment you drive it off the lot. So if your car gets totaled, you could be in a tough spot if the actual cash value of your car is less than what you still owe on your car loan.
Protect your investment with the Auto Security Coverage Endorsement* from Erie Insurance. Your agent can add it to your ERIE auto policy for a few extra dollars per month. Buying a used car? The endorsement also offers “better vehicle replacement” – so if yours gets totaled, we’ll cover the cost to replace it with a same or similar make of vehicle up to two model years newer with up to 30,000 fewer miles.
*Vehicle is considered new when less than two years old. Eligible vehicles must carry both comprehensive and collision coverage and replacement value must be based on a comparable model. The endorsement is sold on a per-vehicle basis, not per policy, and contains the specific details of the coverages, terms, conditions and exclusions. Please note that New Vehicle Replacement and Better Vehicle Replacement do not apply to leased vehicles; only the Auto Lease/Loan Security Protection applies to leased vehicles. Coverage is not available in all states. Not available in NY and NC. Insurance products are subject to terms, conditions and exclusions not described here. Ask your ERIE agent for details.
A better insurance experience starts with ERIE.
Haven’t heard of us? Erie Insurance started with humble beginnings in 1925 with a mission to emphasize customer service above all else. Though we’ve grown to reach the Fortune 500 list, we still haven’t lost the human touch.

As the New Year begins to unfold take some time to DREAM.
Dreams are free they cost nothing, they have zero calories and they are wonderfully private.
All of us Dream
Have you watched a dog snuggled up, twitching and quietly yipping running free in its dream or a baby smiling in her sleep?
“Aaaahhhh,” you murmur. There’s nothing sweeter
We can dream anywhere, not just at night.
We can daydream or indulge ourselves in a million ideas that we may or may not act on.
What if I did this…? What if I went there? What if I dove into…? What if….. what if…
The mind is at play.
Dreaming is life enhancing
Your dreams belong purely to you.
They are yours to discard or play with at will. No one will judge you for them.
And here’s the best part… Instead of remaining a fantasy tucked within the deep recesses of your mind some dream stick.
They refuse to leave the party when the voice of reason says that’s crazy or how do you think you could ever……????
They escape and become the place where your best ideas your best experiences come from.
Let your mind play. Let the what if’s waft through.
Is there one you can’t get rid of? You keep coming back to it?
Tell someone. Make the dream tangible it’s how the dream begins to gather momentum and starts to work its way into reality.
From there you might even follow it.

2024 not only is a leap year, but it is also the year of the Olympics. The Olympics 2024 will be held in Paris. The Olympic Games is probably one of the biggest and most well known sporting event in the world – yes, there are others in racing, golfing and tennis – but nothing quite captures the hearts and minds of people as the Olympics.
Olympics Kids’ Activities and Ideas!
This year the Paris Olympic Games 2024 will be on the 26th July 2024 until the 11th August 2024. We have collated some fabulous Olympic ideas for kids of all ages. We have some fun Olympic crafts, some Olympic activities and even some Olympic treats!
Classic Olympic Kids’ Themes to explore
The Olympics is full of symbolisms – which are great for Olympic craft inspiration – be sure to include these themes in your Olympic activities:
The Olympic 5 Interlocking Rings
Designed in 1912, when the present day Olympics were established – the 5 represents the five parts of the world who support the Olympics. The colours blue, black, red, yellow, green on a white background representing all the colours on the flags of the supporting nations (at that time).
The Olympic Games Torch & Flame Relay
A tradition started in at the Berlin Olympics in 1936 – the torch is lit at the site of the Ancient Olympics – Olympia (Greece) and relayed to the site of the current Olympics of the course of several months. Carried by athletes, politicians and ordinary people.
Of course the Olympic Medals
As per many sporting events, the are medals for the top 3 winners – gold, silver and bronze.
And the Olympic Kotinos (or wreath)
In the Ancient Olympic games, there were no medals and only one winner. This winner was decorated by a horse shoe shaped wreath made from olive branches made from a sacret tree near the temple of Zeus.
World Flags participating Olympic Games Countries
A great theme to explore when looking at Olympic Activities for Kids, is of course world flags or specific country flags. The Olympics brings the whole world together to compete.. and it is a wonderful opportunity to learn about different countries. Begin by looking at their flags and make some!
Finally the Olympic Games Mascots
Mascots were first introduced in the 1968 Winter Olympics held in France. Popularised by the Misha during the 1980 Summer Olympics held in Moscow. (Source: Wikipedia)
This year we have the Phryges (based on the Phrygian caps) as the Paris Olympic and Para olympic mascots. The Olympics 2024 president, Tony Estanguet, said: “We chose an ideal rather than an animal. We chose the Phrygian cap because it’s a very strong symbol for the French Republic. For French people, it’s a very well-known object that is a symbol of freedom. The fact that the Paralympics mascot has a visible disability also sends a strong message: to promote inclusion.”
Olympic Torch Crafts to make with Kids
First up, let’s explore the Olympic Torch Crafts you can make!

Round and round she goes: There's been no small amount of speculation on where Chelsea Handler might end up after her contract with E! expires later this year, and the latest rumor, if true, promises to deliver the comedian's particular brand of brashness on demand. According to the New York Post, the late-night host has inked a deal with Netflix to produce a show, though its format has yet to be decided.
It's not the first time Handler's been linked to the streaming service. In a March interview with Paper, Handler dropped hints that she was working on a show for Netflix.
Netflix hasn't confirmed a deal with Handler, either. The company denied it was in talks with Handler when she floated the idea earlier this month. It wouldn't be a stretch to see her on Netflix, though, which has been steadily amping up its original content over the past year. But, by her own admission, Handler's something of a compulsive liar — so take any unconfirmed news about her with a grain of salt. (New York Post)

On the first day of spring in 2005, Berkeley’s city council unanimously approved a zero waste resolution—one of the first in the nation. The resolution officially adopts a 75 percent waste reduction goal for 2010, and establishes a zero waste goal for 2020.
What Does Zero Waste Mean?
If it can’t be reduced, reused, repaired, rebuilt, refurbished, refinished, resold, recycled, or com-posted, then it should be restricted, redesigned, or removed from production. The goal is to combine aggressive resource recovery and industrial redesign to eliminate the very concept of waste. Eventually, the community’s resource-use system will emulate natural cyclical processes, where no waste exists. While zero waste may seem like an ambitious aim, Berkeley’s history is full of people taking chances on new ideas. The idealism that thrives here has produced many tangible demonstration projects that have helped spawn programs in cities across the globe. For example, over thirty years ago, the Ecology Center pioneered curbside residential recycling. Much has changed since those early days, when a single flatbed truck roamed the streets collecting bundled newspapers. Today, Berkeley’s recycling programs (residential, commercial, and drop-off) are a multimillion-dollar enterprise providing over 40 green collar jobs and saving nearly 20,000 tons of resource-rich material from the landfill. Curbside recycling has gone from a “crazy” vision to an environmentally sane, mainstream service offered across the country.
What Makes Berkeley Different?
Unlike many cities across the United States, Berkeley possesses its own recycling and solid waste facility, which is operated by the city and three local nonprofits—the Ecology Center, Community Conservation Centers, and Urban Ore. This unique situation offers many important benefits. Local control allows for higher environmental standards and greater efficiency, as well as familiarity with our own waste stream. Costs for these services are kept low, and good green collar jobs remain in the city rather than being sent elsewhere or automated out of existence. Other East Bay cities contract their solid waste programs out to corporate waste haulers, who transport their garbage and recyclables to large-scale regional facilities, where little is known about what actually happens to it. Because Berkeley’s solid waste program is in-house, we get to decide what happens with our materials.
As an example of local control, Berkeley voters mandated that collected recyclable materials be put to their “highest and best use.” This is why we sort glass into three color camps—green, brown, and clear—while many other recyclers have eliminated this step. The bottles we collect are melted down and turned into bottles again at a regional foundry. Some end up back in Berkeley at Pyramid Brewery, a local ale manufacturing company. The energy and resources that went into making the glass in the first place are conserved. When glass of different colors is mixed and melted, a murky color results that is unfit for new bottles. Mixed glass can be “down-cycled” into asphalt or fiberglass insulation, but it is often used instead of dirt as “alternative daily coverage,” with the sandy covering heaped over trash at the landfill every day, to keep flies and odors down. But when Berkeley’s residents place glass bottles in their recycling bins, they can be sure those bottles actually get recycled and don’t end up in the dump.
For-Profit vs. Non-Profit
In 2001, the Ecology Center transitioned its fleet of recycling trucks to run on biodiesel, an alternative fuel made from recycled restaurant grease. Later, Berkeley’s garbage trucks, school buses, heavy equipment, and fire trucks also made the switch to biodiesel. This significantly lowered asthma and cancer causing emissions released by our fleets as well as the city’s dependence on foreign oil. Had Berkeley’s recycling program been handled by corporate haulers, such a forward-thinking initiative would never have gotten off the ground. Unlike the Ecology Center, corporate waste haulers are rarely proactive on issues unrelated to their bottom line, such as air quality and vehicle emissions. Furthermore, for-profit solid waste companies, such as Waste Management, Inc., own landfills. They charge per ton for every scrap of waste that goes to the landfill; therefore they have a financial interest in communities continuing to generate large quantities of garbage. It is a core part of their business. They also offer recycling services because most cities demand it, but minimizing waste is not their mission.
Jobs and Revenue Stay in Berkeley
Because Berkeley’s solid waste operation is locally based, the jobs generated by the city’s waste stream remain local. The city has its own fleet and unionized crew, as does the Ecology Center and the Community Conservation Centers. A model “green-blue” partnership, recycling is an environmental endeavor that provides local, well-paying, green-collar jobs. Recycling helps support the local nonprofits, businesses, and community agencies that partner with the city to handle discards. Even with all the extra steps required—sorting, baling, cleaning, and selling of those bottles, cans, and papers—recycling remains a cheaper alternative than paying landfill fees, thanks to the income generated by selling the materials. Recycling contradicts the myth that communities must choose between jobs and the environment. Recycling creates jobs while costing the residents less.
Between the Ecology Center and CCC, Berkeley’s institutional recycling programs constitute a multi-million dollar industry. This money stays here; it doesn’t leave in the form of shareholder profits or CEO bonuses.
Moving forward toward the zero-waste goal, even more jobs, more reusable materials and more revenue will strengthen the local economy. ?

Having been looking out for a BBC Micro to add to my growing collection of retro computers from the 1980s and 1990s I came across a BBC Master being sold as spare/repairs on eBay. It was complete with monitor and dual disk drives but was for collection only from Somerset, 300 miles away. As it turned out, I was due to visit relatives in east Devon the same weekend that the auction ended so I sent a message asking about the fault(s). The reply came back a couple of hours before the auction end with a photo that showed that it was actually working to some extent, showing an error message on the monitor. I was the only bidder and picked the lot up for £50.
It has now been transported back home and set up to test. As you can see, it does seem to boot up to a certain point so it must be basically sound but, not knowing much about these (yet) I'm a bit stumped. All I get it: -
I think I'll need to find a good BBC Micro forum to see where the problem lies.

Finished in 2006, these luxury gated condos are so exclusive that you need a key to both get in and out of the resort and the elevators. It consists of eight buildings, including a 5-story building that contains the “penthouses,” and seven 2-story buildings housing the villas. Penthouses are farthest from the ocean, and views are best from the fourth floor or above. Villas A and B are closest to the ocean. The contemporary Hawaiian-style buildings have lush, tropical grounds with lots of mature plants. Though not directly on a beach, there is a meandering stream that leads to the beach path and a short hop to Wailea Beach where they have umbrella chairs. Their adults-only pool is a peaceful infinity-edge pool. Their family pool has a small waterfall, a shallow end for keiki, billiards and game room. Ground-floor villas have their own tiny plunge pool with a waterfall and an outdoor shower, but no ocean views. The rooms themselves are ultra-luxurious and expensively furnished by different interior designers. The bathrooms have deep soaking tubs and separate showers. The kitchens use all top-of-the-line appliances, granite counters and Viking BBQs on the lanais.
The on-site concierge has extra services such as various food packages with local specialty items, fresh flowers, wines and spirits, special event cakes and rental cars available. Other services can be arranged by the resort (for a fee, of course) such as personal trainers, personal secretaries, au pairs and private chefs. But at least the cabana chairs are free by the beach.
If you’re worried how much this will set you back, then you probably can’t afford this place. If you do stay here, however, and you’re unhappy for any reason… then there is just no pleasing you. The staff is very competent here. Penthouse 2/2s are 1,900 sq. ft., penthouse 3/3s are 2,100–3,100 sq. ft., villa 3/4s are 3,100 sq. ft. Discounts available (and much welcomed). 3- or 10-night minimum. Note that in addition to the daily resort/service fee, you are also charged a one time reservation fee.

The Arizona Cardinals met the New Orleans Saints in the Hall Of Fame game yesterday in Canton, Ohio. While the score didn’t lean in favor of the Cards this week, there were a few plays that show some promise.
Hit the jump to see the plays I marked as contenders for plays of the game.
There were six plays that I chose as possible plays of the game for the Arizona Cardinals efforts.
Calais Campbell starts things off on my list by notching a sack against the second string quarterback, Chase Daniels. On third and three from the Arizona thirty-five, Campbell pulled Daniels down for a seven yard loss which led to a punt.
Michael Adams and Quentin Groves made the highlight reel for hustle, working in tandem to down a Cardinals put on the New Orleans one yard line.
Stewart Bradley’s been working on a sack dance, and we saw that happy little jig yesterday after he chased down Chase Daniels for a ten yard loss, leading to another New Orleans punt.
How about plays of the game involving points on the board? That’s what Alfonso Smith provided with his four yard scamper to cap off a John Skelton led, ground attack drive that posted Arizona’s first seven points of the game.
On the flip side of that, how about a play from the game that took points off the board for the opposition? That’s exactly what Blake Gideon did when he leapt up and snatched the ball out of the air in the back of the end zone, shutting down the Saints drive.
And lastly, points taken away again, as special teams guru Justin Bethel blocked a field goal in the fourth quarter of play to keep the game 17 – 10 New Orleans.
In the end, the Cards lost. There wasn't a defensive play that gave them the game.
With that taken into account, the play of the game for me would be Smith's run into the end zone. Why? Because it capped off a drive that moved the length of the field. The offense clicked. The run game gained traction. John Skelton looked at ease. And the play itself. Two extra tight ends. WR tight to the line, over balancing. The blocks to free Smith. The play call itself. All I can hope for is to see more of this type of play-calling once the regular season rolls around.
So - Do you agree pr disagree with my choice for play of the game? Let me know if the poll below.

Fox Sports Arizona had Jonathan Cooper, the first pick taken by the Arizona Cardinals in this year's draft, on their 101 podcast.
Here is some of what he said:
Listen to the interview using the embedded player below or download the file directly with this link
On the heat:
"It was something I was not accustomed to."
Ob having pressure, being the team's top pick:
"No more outside pressure than the pressure I feel for myself. I'm a competitor and I want to come in and make an impact and compete for a starting job. Of course there's going to be pressure, but I can't let that affect my game plan."
On change in draft calendar:
"I'm glad I was drafted this year." He hated all the waiting around after all the workouts leading up to the draft. Pushing the draft back only makes that wait longer.
On signing his contract with the Cardinals:
He is "uncertain" how close he is to signing it. "I put it in my agent's hands and they kind of do what they do and I play football."
"I've been blessed that I haven't had anything too serious."
On the intelligence of offensive linemen being smarter than defensive linemen:
"I don't like to generalize, but I like to think that I'm smarter than the average bear."
What the offense will look like:
"It's going to look good...I think you'll be a little bit of everything. Prepare to be surprised, I suppose."
On Bruce Arians saying he isn't a rookie anymore because of the reps he has had:
"No. They've given me an opportunity there's been a lot of work like that, but I feel I have a long way to go and a lot I have to learn."

Charlestown Single Family Homes for Sale December Year-end Report
The Charlestown single family number of sold homes in December 2021 is 10% less than the prior month. The pending real estate sales this month are down 25% over the same period. There is a limited home inventory here like most of southern RI.
Home buyers need to be ready, willing and able to buy on homes in all price ranges in making a property offer. Sellers do reach out to me now as I have a list of buyers waiting for homes to buy. The right priced home inventory is wanted by buyers and will continue to grow in demand. This Charlestown home sale market update is provided by Ginny Gorman of RI coastal real estate and where you can search for condos and homes.
Furthermore, home buyers have indicated they want well priced homes that need little updating. There are five factors that will sell your home in the best manner so understand them. Ensuring that you price and stage your home properly is certainly key factors always.
Ensure you work with a real estate professional who knows the real estate area well that you are buying into. When you have the Atlantic Ocean at many oceanfront doorsteps, home prices can be in the higher range. The lack of homes for sale in Charlestown especially under $500,000 remains a need for buyers.
This is a mixture of a waterfront and rural community living depending upon your location desire for Charlestown RI homes. It is wonderful to be able to have that choice in this RI town.
As they say, oceanfront, waterfront and being near the beach are in demand. Consider buying now for yourself or for generations to come and buying as an extended family. It is a great way to spend family time together by the coast.
Home buyers are actively seeking good property values and lower priced affordable homes with the town’s lower real estate taxes. This makes Charlestown a highly desirable community to buy into.
What does this town offer home buyers? It is closer to Connecticut and New York to a wonderful ocean area retreat and offers oceanfront residences as well as country homes at far better prices. It is the stunning coastline, quiet neighborhoods, beach side homes and serene landscapes that draw home buyers to this Charlestown location. Here is the Charlestown home sales update for the month, as follows:
- Properties active and on the market: 21 ( but 10 of these Active homes are in sales agreement and awaiting closing)
- Single-family properties closed: 9 ( 10 in prior month)
- Average sales price: $462,000
- Median sales price: $385,000
- Sales price to list price ratio: 93%
- Average days on the market until in sales agreement: 80
- Sales currently pending awaiting closing: 6 (8 in prior month)
- Highest priced home sold this month was $1,250,000 on Old Post Road.
The Charlestown average homes sold prices are 9% higher in 2021 as compared to 2020. The number of sold homes increased by 15% in this time period too. The average home sold in 2021 is a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home with 1500 square feet of above ground living space. The average above ground square foot cost of a sold Charlestown home is $440 this year.
The stunning Charlestown coastal luxury homes are a continual draw for home buyers. Whether it is condo living or a single family home you desire the right living choices may be here for you. And if not I am sure I can help you find what you need. Whether winter or summer this is a southern RI town that offers nature and water within a drive of any home.
Charlestown’s home absorption rate is a sellers real estate market at present with 2.3 months of homes inventory.
- Home absorption is the amount of time it will take to sell all the homes currently on the market without any additional homes being added to the market.
- Breakdown of the 9 Charlestown RI home sales is as follows for the month: 1 home sold under $300,000, 4 homes sold between $300,000-$400,000, 3 homes sold over $400,000 but less than a million dollars and 1 home sold for over $1 million.
From coastal Charlestown homes to the rural country homes. You are never far from the ocean and the Rhode Island beaches here. It is a great time to buy in the Quonnie neighborhood too if you are looking at beachfront homes for sale.
Here is a sampling of the most current Charlestown homes for sale under $500,000:
Here is a sampling of the most current Charlestown homes for sale over $500,000:
Whether you are buying or selling in the RI coastal real estate market, I would love the opportunity to earn your trust and business.

“I’ve developed psoriasis on knes and the itch was driving me crazy! All my prescription medications didn’t seem to control the itch. After reading reviews for this product I thought I’d give it a try and I am totally satisfied! My skin feels amazing!” - Carla Holland
“I was amazed ... it actually worked. I have had psoriasis on my elbows for at least 15 years. I used it as directed and it completely disappeared in about 3 weeks. I only used the product for about 2 weeks, but a week later the scabby patch just fell off. I have used other products and herbs for several years with only a little relief. Now the problem has completely gone away leaving smooth healthy skin behind!” - Hardwin Schmidt
"Since my son was 3 weeks old when he had this patch of psoriasis appear on his back and several patches on his arms and legs. He is 6 months old now and we've never been able to fully get rid of it. I've tried several products and so far this has had the fastest and best results. The before and after picture shows how much his skin has healed in 3 days with 2-3 applications a day." - Adler Hofmann
Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes inflammation in your skin. Symptoms of psoriasis include thick areas of discolored skin covered with scales. These thick, scaly areas are called plaques.
People of any age, sex, or race can get psoriasis. Psoriasis affects millions of people. More than 3% of the U.S. population has psoriasis. A psoriasis rash can show up anywhere on your skin. Psoriasis is common on your: elbows and knees, face & inside of your mouth, scalp, fingernails, toenails, genitals, lower back, palms, and feet.
What causes psoriasis?
An over-reactive immune system that creates inflammation in your skin causes psoriasis. If you have psoriasis, your immune system is supposed to destroy foreign invaders, like bacteria. However, your immune system can mistake healthy cells for foreign invaders. As a result, it creates inflammation or swelling, which you see on the surface of your skin as skin plaques.
SkinMedix™ Psoriasis Herbal Treatment Cream, Developed by a Dermatologist for Psoriasis Natural Relief
Dealing with psoriasis can be challenging, which is why our dermatologists are working to find ways to relieve symptoms and prevent them from recurring. This leads to the development of SkinMedix™ Psoriasis Herbal Treatment Cream, a natural moisturizing treatment that gently exfoliates and hydrates the skin.
SkinMedix™ Psoriasis Herbal Treatment Cream is a safe and effective alternative to injectables and steroids that can cause adverse side effects. It is being developed not only to treat itch but also to treat the underlying cause of psoriasis.
It improves the skin by decreasing inflammation and clearing scales. This slows the production of skin cells and reduces itching. It has a positive impact on an individual's skin and mental well-being. It has an inhibitory effect on pathogenic microorganisms such as staphylococcus aureus, escherichia coli, and candida Albicans.
SkinMedix™ Psoriasis Cream is a dermatologist's revolutionary development. SkinMedix™ gently cleanses psoriatic skin while repairing the skin's natural protective barrier, keeping the skin hydrated all day," says Dr. Alina Bridges, Director of Immunodermatology.
This fragrance-free cream also relieves and helps prevent the recurrence of scalp itching, irritation, redness, flaking, and scaling due to psoriasis. It removes scales, eliminates itching, reduces redness, and restores moisture.
3 EXCLUSIVE, ALL-NATURAL MOTHER-EARTH DERIVED MINERALS THAT WORK FROM INSIDE OUT
After extensive research, our dermatologist founder identified 3 mother-earth-derived natural minerals with skin & itch clearing attributes.
TURMERIC. Turmeric is popular in Eastern medicine and is thought to have powerful anti-inflammatory abilities that may help relieve psoriasis symptoms. A 2016 study published in the journal Biochimie found that curcumin has demonstrated therapeutic effects on psoriasis in mice. The National Psoriasis Foundation also lists turmeric as a natural remedy that may minimize skin and psoriatic arthritis flare-ups.
SAFFRON. A traditional ancient herbal medicine that is known to reduce itching symptoms caused by psoriatic skin while supporting the immune system.
ANGELICA ROOTS. When applied topically to the skin it can calm the epidermis, the thin outer layer of our skin, reducing the likelihood of breakouts. In addition, angelica oil can also revitalize dull-looking skin.

Technology is a wonderful thing. It makes life easier; it helps us accomplish things we otherwise couldn’t, and it even makes our day to day experience more entertaining.
But even with all of those benefits, technology isn’t perfect. Sometimes it’s inefficient. Sometimes we rely on them too much. And sometimes this excessive use of technology can cause harm. In fact, there are times when technology is a literal pain in our necks.
On this article, we will be talking about ‘tech necks’—one of the physical health implications of our over-reliance on technology and gadgets. But what exactly is it?
Dr. Jenifer Epstein from Hershey Family Chiropractic explains that tech neck is a condition that could possibly change the shape of our spine—and it has something to do with our devotion to our devices.
“Tech neck, I think, is more of a recent terminology for a problem that actually existed for a while,” Epstein said. “But, basically chiropractors, osteopathic, physical therapists, we’re taking a look at the structure of the neck, and what we’re actually seeing is people’s necks are facing in the opposite direction.”
Cumberland County mom Jennifer Berry worries that an entire generation of kids might be exposed to these issues because of the rising popularity of smartphones and tablets. Her son, 11-year old Landon, was diagnosed with it earlier this year. The condition is likely related to the extended period of time that a person spends looking down at their gadgets or phone.
Landon says his time-tracking app shows that he spends about two hours a day on his cellphone.
However, the diagnosis of the tech neck did not come from a pediatrician—mostly because he couldn’t find a cause of Landon’s migraines and vomiting.
“We had him at the pediatrician’s office a few times after the new year and every time the pediatrician was like, ‘Oh, I don’t see anything, maybe it’s just viral,” Berry said. “We had blood work done and everything was coming back normal, so it was kind of grasping at straws.”
Eventually, Jennifer took Landon to the Hershey Family Chiropractic with Dr. Jenifer Epstein. Landon’s x-ray showed that his neck is almost straight when it should have a forward curve. Epstein said that tech neck means the neck is beginning to curve in the opposite direction, causing migraines and other uncomfortable symptoms.
Tech neck is not exclusive to younger people—and it also isn’t just caused by technology.
Jason Dudzic, an orthopedic physical therapist, says that he has seen what is being called tech neck in car crash victims, as well as people with certain jobs.
“We even see this in electricians who are putting lights up looking up too much,” Dudzic said. “We did have them look down frequently to counteract that sustained posture.”
Since the pain is caused by a prolonged downward or forward position of the head, the treatment involves stretches and exercises that move the muscles in the opposite direction. Chiropractors can help treat tech neck because they deal with all sorts of musculoskeletal conditions with the use of spinal adjustments.
Their goal is to reduce the pain and discomfort caused by the tech neck.
“If we see an x-ray pop up with the flattened lordosis, we can’t say for sure that it’s tech neck,” Dudzic said. “We know that we need to move them in the opposite direction to restore that lordosis if we can.”
Epstein recommends the same exercises to treat tech neck. After six visits to the chiropractor, Landon’s vomiting and migraines went away.
“And I felt kind of silly saying, ‘Oh well, you know, he’s doing much better, we’re taking him to a chiropractor,” Berry said. “He was kind of surprised, I think, to hear that, but he was like, well, if it’s working, then you know, he hasn’t had the migraines and he’s no longer vomiting, he’s like, then if that’s what’s helping, keep it up.”

Around the world, over-fishing is leading to severe depletion of valuable fisheries. This is as true in U.S. coastal waters as it is in many other parts of the world. In New England waters, for example, after two decades of ever more intensive fishing, the groundfish fishery has essentially collapsed. But, we are not alone. According to the United Nations Environment Program, fully 25 percent of fisheries worldwide are in jeopardy of collapse due to over-fishing. Clearly, something needs to be done. Yet, what has long been considered the obvious answer – restrictions on fishing – has been shown time and time again to be the wrong answer. The right answer is enlightened use of markets.
The fundamental cause of the depletion of fish stocks is well known to economists: virtually all ocean fisheries are “open-access,” that is, fishermen – small operations or large corporations – can fish all they want. These individuals and companies are no more greedy than the rest of us, but because no one holds title to fish stocks in the open ocean, everyone races to catch as much as possible. Each fisherman receives the full benefit of aggressive fishing (that is, a larger catch), but none pay the full cost (an imperiled fishery for everyone). One fisherman’s choices have an effect on other fishermen (of this generation and the next), but in an open-access fishery – unlike a privately-held copper mine, for example – these impacts are not taken into account. What is individually rational adds up to collective foolishness, as the shared resource is over-exploited. This is the “tragedy of the commons.” What to do?
Government intervention is, alas, required. Fishermen don’t welcome such regulation in their economic sphere any more than anyone else does. And they have a point. Conventional regulatory approaches have driven up costs, but not solved the problem. And we know why. If the government limits the season, fishermen put out more boats. If the government limits net size, fishermen use more labor or buy more costly sonar. Economists call this over-capitalization. Costs go up for fishermen (as resources are squandered), but pressure on fish stocks is not relieved.
The answer is to adopt in fisheries management the same type of innovative policy that has been used for decades in the realm of pollution control – tradeable permits, called “Individual Transferable Quotas” ( ITQs) in the fisheries realm. Sixteen countries – some with economies much more dependent than ours on fishing – have adopted such systems with great success. New Zealand regulates virtually its entire commercial fishery this way. It’s had the system in place since 1986, and it’s been a great success, putting a brake on over-fishing and restoring stocks to sustainable levels - while increasing fishermen’s profitability!
There are several ITQ systems already in operation in the United States, including for Alaska’s pacific halibut and Virginia’s striped-bass fisheries. More important, the time is ripe for broader adoption of this innovative approach, because a short-sighted ban imposed by the U.S. Congress on the establishment of new ITQ systems has expired.
The first step in establishing an ITQ system is to establish the “total allowable catch.” The next step – and a crucial one – is to allocate shares of that total limit to fishermen in individual quotas that are theirs and theirs alone (read: well-defined property rights). Setting the individual quotas will not be easy. The guiding principle should be simple pragmatism – using the allocations to build political support for the system. Making the quotas transferable eliminates the problem of overcapitalization and increases efficiency, because the least efficient fishing operations find it more profitable to sell their quotas than to exploit them through continued fishing. If you can’t catch your whole share, you can sell part of your quota to someone else, instead of buying a bigger boat.
In addition, these systems improve safety by reducing incentives for fishermen to go out (or stay out) when weather conditions are dangerous. And it was just such perverse incentives of conventional fisheries regulation that were blamed for the tragic loss of life when a fishing boat was lost in a storm off the New England coast just a few winters ago.
Further, because ITQ systems eliminate the motivation for government to limit the duration of the fishing season, supplies available to consumers improve in quality. Prior to the establishment of an ITQ system for Alaskan halibut, for example, the government had reduced the fishing season to just two days, but subsequent to the introduction of the system, the season length grew to more than 200 days.
A decade ago, environmental advocates – led by the Environmental Defense Fund – played a central role in the adoption of the sulfur dioxide allowance trading program that’s cut acid rain by half and saved electricity generators and rate-payers nearly $1 billion annually, compared with conventional approaches. The time has come for environmentalists to join forces with progressive voices in the fishing industry and in government to set up ITQ systems that can keep fishermen in business while moving fisheries onto sustainable paths.

3. Seismic shock Stateside
Djokovic holds the all-time record with 40 Masters 1000 title triumphs as well as the men's all-time record of 24 majors.
So, early rounds defeats are a rare occurrence for the 'Hall of Fame' Serbian.
World No.123 Nardi's incredible showing meant he is the lowest-ranked player to down Djokovic at the Masters or Grand Slam level ever.
On top of that, Nardi was ready to leave California for his next tournament, but signed up on the 'Lucky Loser' list, having fallen to David Goffin in the final round of qualifying last week. What a turnaround for the Italian.
"I think that before this night no one knew me," said Nardi, recording just his fifth tour-level victory on Monday. "I hope that the crowd enjoyed the game. I'm super happy with this one."
Nardi advances to face Amercian No.17 seed Tommy Paul to vie for a quarter-final ticket.

The 4 Types of Keyword Matches on Google Ads
Google Ads—formerly called AdWords—can be a valuable tool for directing people’s attention to your practice and at the most opportune time: when they’re searching for the services you offer. To make your Google Ads campaigns as effective as possible, you must first understand the nature of keywords and the different match types you can assign to them.
What Is a Keyword in Google Ads?
In an advertising context, keywords are specific words, sets of words, or phrases that can be assigned to ads in order to ensure they are being shown to the most relevant audience. By contrast, a search term or query is the precise word, phrase, or question that a user types into the search bar.
When a Google user types in a search query that aligns with the keywords designated for a specific ad, then that ad may be shown as a part of the user’s search results. For example, if a plastic surgeon is running an ad campaign aimed at connecting with new patients, they might set one of their ad keywords as “plastic surgeon.” Alternatively, if a dentist wants to bring in more dental implant cases, they might target keywords such as “dental implants,” “All-on-4®,” or “tooth replacement.” From there, an advertiser must select a “match type” for each keyword.
What Are the Different Keyword Match Types in Google Ads?
Simply put, a match type assigns parameters for each keyword to control how relevant an Internet user’s search query must be for Google to show your ad in the results.
For every keyword added to your Google Ads account, it is possible to choose one of four different match types: exact, phrase, broad, broad, or negative. Depending on the type you select, your ad will pop up in Google results when a person searches for a query that is either specifically or more broadly related to your keyword.
If you choose a highly targeted match type, such as an exact match, the people seeing your ads are searching for exactly what you are advertising, meaning that, your ad will be more relevant. On the other hand, if you choose a more general match, such as a broad match, more people will see your ad, but a smaller portion of this audience will find your ad relevant.
In other words, the more targeted your keyword match is, the fewer searches that will apply (and smaller the audience). Conversely, the less targeted your match type is, the more searches that will apply (and greater your reach). Finding the proper balance between reach and relevance is often the key to maximizing your pay-per-click return on investment. Learn more about each of the Google Ad keyword match options in the numbered sections below.
1. Exact Match
An exact match is the most specific of all types. When this is applied, your ad will only show if the person is searching for your exact keyword—or a very close variation of it, such as misspellings, singular and plural forms, stemmings, acronyms, and abbreviations. If the exact words are used in the search query but in the wrong order (or if the search includes extra words), the ad will not be triggered.
Examples for [plastic surgeon]: plastic surgeon, plastic surgeons
2. Phrase Match
A phrase match is more flexible than an exact match, but still highly targeted. When this parameter is applied to an ad, a person can search for a phrase that includes either your keyword or a close variation that shares its meaning. As of 2021, the broad match modifier match option was discontinued, and much of its functionality was rolled into phrase match, allowing for greater flexibility in wording so long as the essential meaning of a user’s query—as determined by Google—matches the ad keywords.
Examples for “plastic surgeon”: plastic surgeon in san diego, local plastic surgeons
3. Broad Match
A broad match offers the most reach with the least relevancy. Not only will your keyword match for search terms that are close variations, but it may also match with completely different queries that are deemed relevant by Google Ads. This means your entire keyword does not even need to be within the search query. As a result, selecting broad match can sometimes waste a Google Ads budget, which is why it should be used sparingly—usually with the addition of negative keywords. Broad match is the default setting for your keyword if you do not choose otherwise.
Examples of broad matches for plastic surgery: cosmetic surgeon, rhinoplasty
4. Negative Match
A negative match is used to prevent your ad from displaying for irrelevant search queries that may seem similar. By using negative keywords, you can hone in on terms you want to prevent from triggering your ad, contributing to your return on investment.
Example terms for plastic surgery practices: cheap, cheapest, advertising, hiring, salary
Choosing the Right Match Types for Your Keywords
The right match types for your keywords will depend upon different factors, such as your Google Ads budget and goal of your campaign. As you move forward with a specific match type for your keyword, make sure you are tracking your Google Ads campaign to ensure you are adapting your strategy to reach your objectives. Rosemont Media also offers additional diagnostic tools, such as advanced call tracking with DNI, to provide further insight into the success of your digital marketing campaigns.

Amid farmers' protest, a video of man facing protest is going viral on social media
Arun Narang Viral Video: Amid farmers' protest, a video of man facing protest is going viral on social media. In this video, farmers can be seen protesting against a person and the person gets thrashed by person during the protest. Now, it is being claimed that the BJP leader faced farmers' aggresive protest in Malout, Punjab. This video is going viral and is being linked with the recent farmers' protest.
Facebook user Babbu Romana shared the viral video and claimed this video as recent one from the ongoing farmers' protest.
Spokesman, in it's investigation, found the viral video to be old as it is that of 2021 when the then BJP MLA from Abohar, Arun Narang was thrashed by protesting farmers in Malout, Punjab. Arun Narang left BJP in 2023 and joined Aam Aadmi Party afterwards.
Spokesman's Investigation : Starting our investigation, we did keyword search regarding the matter.
"Viral Video Is Old" We found a live report regarding the matter of media house Rozana Spokesman dated 21 March 2021. Viral video scenes were clearly seen in the live report. Spokesman shared this report with title written, "BJP Leader Thrashed In Malout, Police Saved His Life, Watch Video"
As per the given information, BJP's then Abohar MLA Arun Narang had come to Malout to hold a press conference against the Congress government on the completion of four years of the then Captain Amarinder Singh-led government. As soon as people saw the arrival of the MLA, a huge crowd gathered there and after that a large number of farmers also reached the press conference and started opposing the then MLA. During this, a clash erupted between farmers and BJP workers. Farmers even threw black ink on the face of then BJP MLA Arun Narang and also tore the his clothes during the scuffle."
Conclusion- Spokesman in it's investigation found the viral video to be old of 2021 when the then BJP MLA from Abohar Arun Narang was thrashed by protesting farmers in Malout, Punjab. Arun Narang left BJP in 2023 and joined AAM AADMI PARTY afterwards.

An event-driven architecture provides a number of advantages over REST APIs for modern applications deployed across hybrid cloud environments.
Event-driven architectures (EDA) provide a number of benefits to complement REST API-based service-oriented architectures (SOA). This article will provide definitions and cover a number of differences and benefits when using it instead of a pure synchronous approach.
First, let’s define the terminology:
- Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a software architecture paradigm promoting the production, detection, consumption of, and reaction to events, where an event can be defined as “a significant change in state.”
- Service-oriented architecture (SOA) defines services that provide a discrete set of functionality to clients over a network, typically using a synchronous request-reply interaction.
- REST (Representational State Transfer) is a more constrained implementation of SOA. It uses HTTP verbs and URIs to access resources, implements a client-server interaction, and is stateless.
- Web service APIs that follow the REST constraints are called RESTful APIs, or REST APIs for short.
An EDA uses events to communicate between decoupled producers and consumers. REST APIs implement a synchronous request-reply interaction between client and server (i.e., they are service-oriented). A synchronous event publishing REST APIs exposed by a broker can be used to produce events, but direct event production and consumption by participating applications is simpler.
EDA enables more parallel processing
Events are naturally asynchronous, so producers broadcast events and continue processing other requests. One or more consumers process the events of interest to them. That’s In contrast to the REST APIs, where the client calls the servers sequentially, in a synchronous request-reply interaction pattern, and waits for the response from each, before calling the next API. The event producer does not have to wait for consumers.
Interconnecting multiclouds simplifies distributed processing of events, especially when using advanced middleware like VANs (Virtual Application Networks) versus generally location-aware REST API-based services. This increases the opportunity for parallel processing of events across clusters.
EDA allows designers to build more fault-tolerant applications
With the asynchronous decoupling between event producers and consumers, the event consumers may be offline or recovering, while the producers keep producing events. Again, that’s in contrast to REST APIs, where both server and client need to be up at all times. Event processing systems also buffer and store events during slow-downs or failures of consumers. REST APIs require server capacity to handle peaks or API gateways to throttle client requests and avoid overloading servers, smoothing out bursts of events so that consumers are never overwhelmed.
An EDA is thus inherently more fault-tolerant, without any further infrastructure or complications.
EDA facilitates real-time responsiveness
Event consumers listen for the events that propagate quickly through the enterprise, enabling widely distributed consumers to take action in near-real-time. REST APIs can be used to poll for changes by calling on a frequent interval looking for recent updates. However, polling introduces delays and unnecessary checking when there are no changes.
Many consumers can see an event at the same time, so that multiple actions can be triggered, in contrast to REST APIs, where typically a single service is invoked at a time.
Also, REST APIs do not offer a time-window sequence of historical calls. However, with event streams, especially when persisting the events, this history is readily available. Analytics leveraging new or existing event streams can make real-time decisions based on a time window of events. Event streaming middleware usually offers several operators, including sliding-window aggregations, which directly aid in implementing analytics.
While an event stream is an immutable sequence of events, ordered by the time of creation, event streams can be transformed and aggregated into other event streams. Streaming analytics is processing one or more event streams, to identify other events or some type of actionable information, based on the patterns and correlations of the events and perhaps other entities. Modern analytics usually involves AI or machine learning algorithms for purposes such as making predictions about a user’s or system’s future behavior. For example, applications might include analysis of shopping or browsing patterns or failure predictions in a system.
EDA improves observability and extensibility
EDA applications produce events for all entity state changes, which can be persisted by the messaging layer to facilitate better observability. That is in contrast to the REST request/response messages, which would need to be explicitly persisted by integration brokers or by the client or server. The reason for this is that the REST protocol does not have an inherent persistence mechanism. Persisted event streams facilitate anomaly and pattern detection, service-level monitoring, and IT ops.
Simulating scenarios from past events, as well as looking back in time and reconstructing a sequence of events or performing root cause analysis, are much easier when all relevant events are persisted for a longer period of time.
EDA’s loose coupling supports the addition of consumers or producers without affecting existing components allowing for a more flexible architecture. Such an architecture can better respond to changing business needs. In REST systems, because of the tight coupling between components, adding functionality requires potentially breaking changes to the components.
EDA facilitates deployment across the hybrid cloud
EDA components can be deployed across clouds and on-premises without the need for additional infrastructure like API gateways, load balancers, or other systems required for REST APIs.
The decoupling between components in EDA encourages interconnecting clouds, by easily moving, replicating, or partitioning consumers and producers. VANs (virtual application networks) can be used to interconnect clusters and multiclouds and offer many features for routing communications in the cloud, for both redundancy and resilience but also cost-based efficient routing.
Additionally, iterconnecting multiclouds simplifies distributed processing of events, especially when using advanced middleware like VANs (Virtual Application Networks) versus generally location-aware REST API-based services. This increases the opportunity for parallel processing of events across clusters.
EDA provides a number of advantages over REST APIs for modern applications deployed across hybrid cloud environments. EDA solutions mirror life better and are more readily extensible. They enable real-time responsiveness and are easy to scale up, in contrast to REST API-based architectures, where changes are harder to effect.

Hi Sarah! Isn’t she the prettiest, nicest best friend ever!
Here we are in Hawaii for the wedding! I am so lucky to have her!
Sarah and I literally grew up together and have remained best friends since 3rd grade.
She ran cross country and track & field in high school and college and has tons of running experience. The funny part is that when she started running in high school I didn’t understand it at all and wanted nothing to do with it.
My how times change! Now I’m the one texting her with weekly running plans. She was right all along-- running is awesome. I can't wait for my comeback.
I asked her to share with us what it’s like to run a marathon as part of a team. It sounds like such a cool way to “experience” a marathon without having to run the whole 26.2 miles! Sarah even raised money for the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh as part of the team event. I would LOVE to do this sometime with her.
Congrats to Sarah and her team!!
AND she got a medal… totally awesome.
The Dick’s Sporting Goods Pittsburgh Marathon was held this past weekend on a great course that winded across the city’s unique neighborhoods and beautiful bridges and rivers. Although I am not from here originally, over the years I have found that a surprising number of people across the U.S. have some connection to Pittsburgh—and they take a lot of pride in their community and its sports teams!
So it was no surprise that they had a big turnout of runners and spectators for the Pittsburgh Marathon, which featured a weekend full of running events and festivities. In addition to the 2-day health and fitness expo, there was a 5K, a race where people could walk with their pets, and a mini marathon for kids. The marathon itself was on Sunday, May 5th, so the theme was Cinco de Mayo! Before the race began, there was a festive atmosphere, and apparently they were trying to set a record for the most people dancing the Macarena!
The marathon, half marathon, and marathon relay all started at the same time. Fortunately, the weather was perfect—the sun was starting to appear and it was just a little chilly. The race corrals were weaved into the streets of the very center of downtown, and as each corral started, the next group moved up closer to the starting line.
There was a great crowd of people gathered along the starting area, and as this was my first time on a relay team as a part of a marathon, I was excited to get to run this first leg!
A few notes on running the Pittsburgh Marathon as a part of a marathon relay team:
Team size affects distance run. We were permitted teams of 2 to 5 people. I was a part of a 5 person team, organized by the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh—an awesome non-profit organization that I helped raise money for with over 50 other runners supporting them. More details later on the benefits of running to support such a charity. Given that there were 5 of us on our relay team, we ran a leg of roughly 3 to 6 miles each given where the transition points were set up on the race course.
Race numbers are still really important even if you are on a relay team. The first part of our race number matched those of our relay teammates which made it possible to find each other at the transition points. They set up signs with number ranges as meeting points for your team and an announcer called out numbers as you entered the transition area. There are options for someone from your relay team to pick up race packets for others in your group (this may vary depending on the particular event). In any case, make sure to get to the race expo early. We had a problem with the race numbers for one of our relay participants and by the time we figured out what might have happened the race expo was over.
Give your relay team a heads up if you have any preferences for a particular relay leg. You might want to run alongside a friend from a different relay team, or care about how far you will need to run or how hilly a particular leg of the course will be, or you want to make sure you run through your favorite Pittsburgh neighborhood where you know lots of people will be cheering for you! Some advanced coordination can help with this. I was delighted to run the first 5.5 miles as I got to experience the race start, run a relatively flat part of the course, and go across 3 of Pittsburgh’s bridges. I completed my relay leg in time to walk back to the finish line and see the top men and women finish the marathon.
The experience offers similar but different features to running the full race distance. We had our own mini “finish lines” at the end of the other relay legs leading up to the main finish line. We had drinks, snacks, restrooms, and a first aid station at the end of the relay leg I finished. We even received medals and shirts customized with “Marathon Relay”!
Here are some additional benefits to running to support a charity:
Most importantly, you can support an organization that means something to you! The Pittsburgh Marathon referred to this as the “Run for a Reason” program, and several charities participated. Through the Pittsburgh Marathon, charities could set up individual webpages on the crowd-funding site Crowdrise—here is the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh’s Crowdrise page as an example. The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh focuses on international affairs education and community discussions of global issues and U.S. foreign policy. Their mission is near and dear to my heart and they are a great organization that has been in Pittsburgh for over 80 years. I also worked for them for 4 years and met many close friends through my time there.
The amount you fundraise often covers registration fees and special events, which the charity will typically take care of. For example, once I reached a certain percentage of my fundraising goal by our group’s fundraising deadline, the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh finalized my registration for the race. They also organized a pasta party the night before the marathon in a local restaurant, and had a tent after the race with drinks and snacks especially for the runners in our group. The whole group of fundraisers was called the “World Runners”—the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh even provided us with cool shirts to wear at the race and aluminum water bottles. They were very appreciative of everyone’s support! As a relay participant with the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh, I only needed to raise a minimum of $150 which I felt was very reasonable and achievable. I’m very grateful for the people who donated to the World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh to help me reach my fundraising goal!
If you are interested in joining a relay team through a charity group, they will typically match you with other runners who are fundraising as well. The World Affairs Council of Pittsburgh matched me with 4 other teammates and helped us determine our running order and the exact hand-off locations. This was very helpful since I had not done a marathon relay before and could not convince 4 other friends to join me on this one. 🙂
Perhaps you have wanted to enjoy the spirit of a marathon without running the full distance, support a charity doing incredible work, or you are just looking for a good reason to return to the city of Pittsburgh. If so, I hope you will find this information useful and perhaps I will see you there next year!
Although it was overall a wonderful event, this year’s Pittsburgh Marathon is probably one of the largest city marathons to follow the recent tragic bombings in Boston, so it did seem more somber than most races. There was a moment of silence before the race. There was definitely also a higher security presence and new security procedures were communicated to runners in the weeks leading up to this race. I later learned that the race sponsors had brought over 30 runners who could not complete the Boston marathon to come to Pittsburgh and run it here to reach their goal. There were also a lot of medical staff and volunteers throughout the course.
The only negative news that I heard was very sad–during the race, a 23-year old man collapsed and later died due to an unexpected health issue. My heart goes out to his family. The media have reported that he was quite athletic and had run similar distances before.
Thanks for sharing your story Sarah! I am so proud of you.
Have you ever run a race as part of a relay?
Would you ever consider sharing your marathon experience with a team?

Volotea, the airline connecting mid and small-sized European cities, has started to operate today the Airbus Charter Service between Toulouse and Hamburg. With this service, Airbus employees will use the service to commute between both Airbus sites with four flights per day.
Volotea has been selected by Airbus to operate the Airbus Charter Service between Toulouse International Airport and Airbus’ Finkenwerder sites for the next five years. Volotea serves this route from Monday to Friday. Last week, Carlos Muñoz, Founder and CEO of Volotea and Christian Scherer, Chief Commercial Officer of Airbus, celebrated this collaboration at Airbus’ headquarters in Toulouse.
Volotea operates this route with two dedicated Airbus A319s, especially suited for this high-demand-short route, with extra-wide aisle for fast turnarounds.
A new Volotea base is launched in Hamburg and creates ten new jobs locally to manage these operations.
“We are very proud to have been selected to operate this prestigious service. The signature and the maiden flight of this shuttle is the first step for an operation that will continue for the next five years. We are delighted to offer an excellent travel experience to Airbus’ employees for their connection between Toulouse and Hamburg” said Carlos Muñoz, Founder and CEO of Volotea.
In 2015, Volotea officially announced in Toulouse its decision to choose the Airbus A319 as the model for its ambitious fleet growth plan. In 2020 Volotea will operate 24 Airbus A319s, after incorporating five additional units.

Prabhas starrer “Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire” which also stars Prithviraj Sukumaran, Shruti Haasan and Jagapathi Babu in important roles has created a storm at the box-office as it has opened with the collections of Rs. 95 crore which makes it the biggest opening of the year.
“Salaar: Part 1 – Ceasefire” is directed by Prashanth Neel and as soon as the trailer of the movie was released, many fans were of the opinion that this movie is also a part of the “KGF” universe in which actor Yash played the lead role.
Well, the director categorically denied any similarity between his two movies but the actor Yash is still connected with “Salaar” and it is not because of any cameo or guest appearance. In the opening credits of the movie, there is a ‘thank you’ note for Yash and though the director or any other member from the “Salaar” team hasn’t talked about it yet fans feel that it is a way of showing gratitude to Yash as he attended the muhuratam shot and also got clicked with Prabhas and the other members.
Thanks card to 'YASH' #Salaar
— MNV Gowda (@MNVGowda) December 21, 2023
As far as the similarity between “Salaar” and “KGF” is concerned, Prashanth Neel said in an interview that comparisons were drawn quite early even before the teaser came out as people started making theories. He added that it is his mistake that he didn’t come out and said it out loud that no part of “Salaar” is connected in any manner with “KGF”.
The actor Prithviraj Sukumaran also shed his opinion in this regard and said that he understands comparisons are being made between “Salaar” and “KGF” but it is premature for audiences to think so. He added that after watching “Salaar” for just 10 minutes, audiences will forget all the comparisons and they will understand that “Salaar” is far bigger than “KGF”.
Audiences also loved it when the title reveal video of Yash’s upcoming movie, “Toxic” was played during the interval of “Salaar”. Here is the video:

Luke Brown, who becomes Salisbury High School’s principal Jan. 21, says he will work hard to combine the newest and latest things out there with the rich history that the school has to offer.
Brown follows Dr. Avis Williams, who resigned after only 15 months at Salisbury High. Avis was preceded by Dr. Windsor Eagle, who retired after 30 years.
Brown has served as an assistant principal at Trinity High School in Randolph County since August 2009 and is Randolph County School’s 2012-13 Assistant Principal of the Year. Before he became an assistant principal at Trinity, Brown was the band director at Eastern Randolph High School for eight years.
In 2001, Brown graduated from Western Carolina University with a bachelor’s degree in music education, and he received his master’s degree in education leadership from University of Phoenix in April 2011.
Brown plans to move to Rowan County with his family this summer, but will commute to Salisbury from his home in Asheboro through the end of this school year.
He is married to Elissa Brown and they have two sons, Noah and Mason.

If you won millions in the lottery, what would you do? “I’d probably set my parents up for retirement, build a nice home somewhere and put enough in savings so that when I retire we could do what we wanted to do and give the rest of it away.”

What would you choose for your last meal? A good old American cheeseburger and fries

Biggest challenge in 2014? “Certainly becoming more aware of the needs of the Salisbury community educationally and coming up with a blueprint for success for students and the staff at Salisbury.”
Biggest hope for 2014? Success. I would define success as the people of Salisbury feel that Salisbury High School is a place they feel they are being pushed to grow and is a great place to be.
Reaction to making the list? “I’m humbled and also honored.” It makes me very proud to be a part of a community that takes education seriously enough to put the leader of a high school on this list.

2021-11-09 Buffalo Trace Distillery Awarded Level II Accredited Arboretum Status By ArbNet
- Article Body
Buffalo Trace Launches Online Tool for Public to Explore Distillery Gardens and Plant Life
FRANKFORT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, KY (Nov. 9, 2021) Buffalo Trace Distillery, nestled on the banks of the Kentucky River, is best known for its vast bourbon portfolio, but anyone who has visited knows the magnetic allure of this Franklin County Distillery goes far beyond the bottles of whiskey it produces. Namely, the natural beauty of Buffalo Trace Distillery alone makes it worth the visit.
The Distillery, which has accessioned close to 4,000 plants, has just been awarded Level II arboretum accreditation by the ArbNet Arboretum Accreditation Program and the Morton Arboretum. The ArbNet Arboretum Accreditation Program is the only global initiative to officially recognize arboreta at various levels of development, capacity, and professionalism. Buffalo Trace Distillery is also now recognized as an accredited arboretum in the Morton Register of Arboreta, a database of the world’s arboreta and gardens dedicated to woody plants.
Buffalo Trace has long offered complimentary, in-person tours focused on its bourbon and history and occasionally guided tours of its gardens, which have been a big hit. Now fans can learn even more about Buffalo Trace’s diverse collection of plant life, with a new online tool designed to provide more information about each of the plants represented on site. To use the tool, visit www.BuffaloTraceDistillery.com and navigate to the Arboretum & Botanical Gardens Tour under the Visit Us tab, or follow this link https://www.buffalotracedistillery.com/our-tours/botanical-gardens-tour.html and then click to explore. Here users can research the Distillery’s plants by family, genus, or location on site and even explore the Distillery grounds by map.
The new feature offers a way to explore the more than 400 acres of lush gardens, carefully manicured lawns, and the resplendent variety of trees on the grounds. From the Albert B. Blanton Botanical Gardens surrounding his 1934-built residence on the Distillery’s campus, to the floral displays adorning the Visitor Center and the landscapes in between, all of the flourishing life at 113 Great Buffalo Trace is in areas accessible to visitors in-person, and now online too.
This new online database allows Buffalo Trace Distillery yet another way to share its gardens and support its Level II arboretum accreditation. This level of accreditation granted by ArbNet requires a public education program, at least 100 labelled woody taxa varieties, and a documented inventory of accessions. The Distillery has currently accessioned and mapped about 4,000 plants, of which there are 1,600 trees, 1,000 shrubs, and 1,400 herbaceous perennial plants.
To see the stunning displays of plants at Buffalo Trace Distillery in-person, self-guided and pre-registered, guided tours of the Distillery’s grounds are available. For more information on these complimentary tours, visit www.buffalotracedistillery.com/visit-us.html.

2021-04-13 Buffalo Trace Distillery Partners with University of Kentucky on Oak Tree Planting and Research Project
- Article Body
FRANKFORT, FRANKLIN COUNTY, KY (April 13, 2021) Two Kentucky stalwarts, Buffalo Trace Distillery and the University of Kentucky, have joined forces on a 15 year research project to study the genetic responses of trees from various regions to different white oak forest establishment techniques in a rural field application.
The study, part of the White Oak Initiative, kicked off with the planting of 1,066 trees on the farm at Buffalo Trace Distillery yesterday, April 12. Officials from both Buffalo Trace and the University of Kentucky joined volunteers to plant seedlings from 40 different parent trees of from Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. New seedlings will be added over the next two years from multiple states, with a goal of more than 104 different seed sources planted.
The white oak trees that were planted at Buffalo Trace will provide information on the best practices for establishing white oak seedlings that will be critical to the success of a massive white oak genetics and tree improvement effort spearheaded by the University of Kentucky and supported by white oak dependent industries. Six different establishment technique variations are being used for the plantings at Buffalo Trace, which include tilling with cover crop of orchard grass or winter wheat, use of herbicide, planting directly into the fescue, and various irrigation methods for each technique. This is the first time irrigation has been combined with the different establishment techniques, making this site unique.
“We’re excited to partner with UK on this project. It’s important that we look towards the future and how we can contribute to the sustainability of the white oak industry. The project will also assess the cost per board foot required to maintain a sustainable supply of new white oak long into the future,” said Dennis Walsh, homeplace manager, Buffalo Trace Distillery.
University of Kentucky Jeffery Stringer, Professor and Chair, Department of Forestry and Natural Resources, agreed, stating “This research project is vital to ensure success of our genetic and tree improvement efforts aimed at ensuring conservation of our white oak resources, not only for the economic future of the distilled spirits industry, but also the ecological benefits white oak adds to the forests and to human life.”
Buffalo Trace is considering adding tours in the future of its farm, which would include education about its participation in the White Oak Initiative. Long term, Buffalo Trace may be able to use some of the oak trees it has planted for future barrel experiments.

Jessica Alba Has Some Great Advice For Dealing With Mom Guilt
Jessica Alba admits she struggles with mom guilt just like the rest of us
Parenting is a 24/7 job, and it’s not easy balancing your role as a mom with all the other things tugging you in a million different directions. The first rule of motherhood is you will feel guilty — for everything, always — but Jessica Alba recently dished out some helpful advice every busy parent needs to hear.
In the most recent issue of Parents Latina magazine, mom and Honest Company CEO Jessica Alba admitted it’s easy to get overwhelmed by work and motherhood, but it’s important not to let the stress get the best of you. “Don’t get overwhelmed trying to do everything at once,” she cautions. “Lay out what you can get done now and what will take longer. Don’t be hard on yourself.”
Alba is mom to two girls, ages four and seven, and she knows all too well how it feels to split your time between work and family. She often feels the dreaded “mom guilt” creeping in when she’s busy, but she says it’s vital to put yourself first sometimes. “Doing your best to be present wherever you are is what’s important,” says Alba. “Make time to eat healthy and stay active. It’s worth it to recharge once a week: Get sleep, have a date night or a girls’ night in, and drink some wine!”
We get to drink wine?! Well, Jessica, if you insist.
As moms, we feel a lot of pressure to be present for our kids every single minute of the day. Thanks to the internet, we know when other parents are baking homemade snacks, taking over the PTA, or DIYing the fuck out of everything from toys to clothes to decor. It’s hard not to feel like you’re failing somehow if you have other priorities or have to put your family’s needs on hold to accomplish something in your own life.
It’s important, though, that we don’t neglect our responsibilities and goals just to feel like we’re earning a shiny gold star in the world of parenting. Our kids need to see us fulfilled and happy, just as much as they need us to occasionally turn off our email and build a Lego city with them. There’s room for both, and we shouldn’t feel guilty for devoting time to one thing over another.
As much as I know we’re all sick of hearing the phrase “work-life balance,” it really is about making time for what matters to you and doing your best with what you’ve got. We could all use about 30 extra hours in the day, but since we’re not going to get that, we have to strike the balance that works for us. Rather than feeling bad about what we can’t do, let’s celebrate the many difficult and amazing things we manage to accomplish every single day.

Schure Consulting is here to make your goal of creating a local business a reality as a logo design company in Erie, CO. Expert logo design involves paying close attention to modern design principles and trends. You shouldn’t add some text on an icon and forget it. Your logo should describe your company and can influence what your customers think about your small business right away.
Making the perfect logo for your business is vital in getting the best first impression from potential clients. A trusted logo design company should employ symbols, spacing & colors to present the right brand for your business.
You also need to be sure that your logo communicates the personality of your company. For example, a tree service business normally uses greens in the logo. A business that might use serif fonts could be an accountant, attorney, consulting service, or upscale clothes store. You could utilize more lighthearted fonts if you run a café or day care. Colors & fonts can go a long way to expressing your company to clients and customers.
Regardless, you need your logo to look modern and professional. Clients and customers tend to trust a small business that has a clean, modern logo that doesn’t look homemade or cheap. If your logo is bad quality or out-of-date, it immediately cause a negative impression to clients and customers.
You want clients to recognize your business through the logo. This is why it’s crucial you have a logo which both symbolizes your brand, but also creates instantaneous recognition.
Always remember too that a logo can be altered or updated as the needs or services of your business change. It can take time to create your brand so don’t believe you can create the perfect logo on your first try.
For a small company that wants a logo in Erie, there are some essential particulars you need to always convey:
A thing you shouldn’t do when designing a logo for your company, would be using clip art or low-quality images in your logo. When you make a logo, there are a few easy things that should be done:
Logo is in Vector format. Vector format permits you change it for any size with no loss of quality – whether a logo is on a billboard or on your website. Vectors utilize math to draw text and images and can be scaled to any size.
Using clearly readable type fonts. Fonts known as “serif” have become less and less common because these fonts are more difficult to read with a quick look. In addition, be sure the font spacing doesn’t smash the letters together too much. In general, outlining type can be a not-so-good idea since it can jumble the letters.
Use multiple color palettes for the logo. The logo undoubtedly needs to appear in lots of different places. Your logo will appear on dark backgrounds, light backgrounds, on paper, on a phone or computer screen, and much more. Be sure you have iterations of the logo that can accommodate lots of different settings.
Have several orientations and sizes of your logo. Not just colors, but you will likely want different dimensions for your logo. For example, an app icon requires a small, square icon whereas a website may need a wider, stacked orientation. Your logo needs to be flexible and versatile.
Among the major mistakes business owners make is attempting to incorporate way too many things into their logo. You have to remember that a logo should go in a lot of places, from the door of your business to paperwork, marketing, shirts, the side of a company car and so on.
If the logo is overly intricate or utilizes excessive details, it may be hard to distinguish, read, or see from far away. Additionally, printing in lots of different gradients or colors can cost exponentially more money or may not be doable when it comes to signs or apparel.
For this reason, you want to make certain that you have a logo which can be easily legible and printable in two-color, one-color, full-color or whatever variant you need it in. Lots of colors might be acceptable for digital marketing, but you may need variations of your logo for many different uses.
When designing a professional logo, the features you should consider are:
Considering all of these essentials plays an important role in how your logo looks when it is viewed in different places. Also, the size and quality requirements for logos can vary enormously depending on where and how they need to be used. For example: the logo on the top of a shopping bag may be different than the logo for a mobile app.
Ideally, you want your logo to be easily identified by potential clients and customers and associated with your company and brand no matter where or how it is seen.
The top logo design companies have a talented creative team to assist with the conception of a logo, but also understand rules in logo design. You need a Erie logo creation company which has a strong background in marketing.
Schure Consulting has been creating logos for use in print and digital marketing for a while now, and we know where and how to match effective marketing efforts with brand creation from e-mail marketing and website design to business cards and apparel.
Schure Consulting is recognized as the top website design company in Erie, CO for local businesses, and we know how to develop your dream into a reality. Get ahold of Schure Consulting today to find out more about our logo creation and website marketing services.

January 31, 2022 -- Dennis Purcell, founder Aisling Capital and one of the founders of the J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference, shared his expert opinions on the state of the biotech sector and the investment outlook with ScienceBoard as part of Biotech Finance Month 2022.
Purcell moderated a panel discussion at Biotech Showcase 2022 featuring investors in the biotech sector. The plenary session focused on how the sector has changed over the last couple of years and how the investment space looks for this year.
During the session, panelists discussed valuations, which are what companies use to raise capital. Higher valuations lead to less dilution to shareholders, Purcell said. In the past couple of years, both public and private investors have wanted to invest in biotech companies, which led to many going public prematurely.
Companies in 2021 were priced pretty high, according to Purcell, as if they were going to be "perfection." These high valuations, however, didn't match where companies were in terms of business (sufficient phase II/III clinical trial data). Rather, companies were going public on the basis of preclinical data alone. It's a long way from preclinical data to a product that is on the market, Purcell said.
However, the sector would need a correction to adjust for these high prices, Purcell continued. This came in the first weeks of 2022 as the industry took a nosedive, with the XBI dropping 19% in just a matter of days.
There is still a tremendous amount of excitement in the biotechnology space, despite high valuations and market volatility.
"I think one of the things that's happening is that underneath all of the industry and forgetting about the numbers and valuation and things like that, the science is just incredible," Purcell said. "So, as a scientific endeavor, the industry has been terrific."
With the wisdom of a seasoned investor, Purcell offered that while valuations sometimes get ahead of where they should be and are sometimes lower than expected, in the end, it all works out. He said that you can't get too excited during boom times and discouraged during down periods. This is where correction comes in, and the industry continues to move forward.
Another topic of conversation with Purcell centered around talent in the biotech space.
"If you talk to the investment community, like my peers, they'll tell you it's not capital we don't have and it's not good ideas that we don't have," Purcell noted. "We don't have the people."
In hypercompetitive biotech markets like Boston, there is a dramatic increase in salaries and companies trying to "steal people" from other companies. It's a kind of musical chairs going on right now. Consequently, talent is a huge issue right now.
The challenge with talent can be considered a volume problem. Whereas 20 years ago, there were around 3,000 biotech companies, now, there are upward of 8,000 companies. In the past six or seven years, there have been over 500 initial public offerings, Purcell explained. That leaves an enormous amount of C-suite level positions to fill. And many of these vacancies are therefore being filled by young entrepreneurs and first-time CEOs.
Purcell offered parting advice to entrepreneurs and leaders in the biotech space that they should strive to surround themselves with people who have experience and can offer their perspectives.

A new approach to teaching mathematics is delivering “extraordinary results” for thousands of Western Australian primary school students – with children who participate in Scitech’s Lighthouse Maths program now on average seven months ahead of their peers.
Delivered in partnership with Chevron Australia, Lighthouse Maths is a year-long professional learning program designed to improve teacher confidence and skill by introducing a problem-solving approach to teaching mathematics.
While traditional mathematics education favours memorisation, the problem-solving method gets students collaborating on problems to develop an understanding of how they reached a solution rather than simply learn a method.
In marking the International Day of Mathematics today, Scitech and Chevron have released the results of the program so far which over the past two years has seen 64 teachers enrolled, improving maths education for 1,728 students across Perth.
Based on a sample of 17 classes who completed the program over this period, standardised PAT-Maths test scores indicated students achieved on average seven months of additional learning compared to national average expected gains.
“We’ve had extraordinary results with the program,” Scitech Lighthouse Maths Co-ordinator Shyam Drury said. “We know what an average student’s results are and how much they tend to grow in a year and when comparing the results of the students, we saw consistently that they are progressing about seven months ahead to what is normally expected.”
The 2022 program also saw a 33% increase in teachers’ confidence in teaching the problem-solving method.
Kingsway Christian College teacher Stacey Green was a participant in last year’s Lighthouse Maths and said before the program she was always quite anxious to teach maths.
“I found through using the strategies of Lighthouse Maths and the powerful problem-solving approach that because the kids’ engagement and enjoyment of maths started increasing, my confidence with being able to teach maths also increased,” she said. “I love that this program has allowed students across the classroom to have access to maths in a positive and exciting way.”
Chevron Australia Technology Manager Matthew Johnson said programs like Lighthouse Maths were important to help prepare students with STEM skills for the jobs of the future.
“Maths and problem-solving skills are essential to our modern life, from unlocking new technologies to solving challenges that will enable us to realise a global lower carbon future,” he said.
Support provided by Chevron enables up to 32 primary school teachers across Perth to benefit from the program at no cost every year, including access to free resources such as coaching, whiteboards and books
Through workshops, coaching and networking sessions with peers, the program aims to empower primary educators with a toolkit to enhance their teaching practice and improve student engagement and achievement in maths and future-proof them for a changing world.
“Through creating this program and using powerful problem-solving to promote student thinking and sense making, we’ve figured out how to make the experience of learning and teaching mathematics incredibly satisfying and enjoyable so maths can be for everyone,” Shyam said.

Transpower Seeks Proposals For Electricity Flexibility Services In The Upper South Island
Transpower is seeking proposals from potential providers of non-transmission solutions in the upper South Island, to help manage growing electricity use at peak times.
Transpower Executive General Manager Grid Development John Clarke said growing electricity use in the upper South Island – the area north of Twizel – means investment in transmission infrastructure is needed, and Transpower is hoping to find a non-transmission solution that can help ensure we provide a reliable supply to this important region.
“Electricity use is growing as the population grows and people and businesses move away from fossil fuels,” he said. “Traditionally, we have built more transmission infrastructure as the need grows, but there are also other smart technologies that can help us cater to growing electricity supply and demand.”
“Flexibility services, like batteries and other distributed energy resources or agreements to help reduce electricity load, could either meet the need or defer the timing of transmission upgrades including major new lines, at an overall lower cost to Transpower customers.”
Several non-transmission solutions to manage electricity within local distribution networks are already in place in New Zealand. These include ripple control schemes, which can shift the electricity use of residential hot water cylinders on a distribution network to off-peak times, and batteries that allow power to be stored and released as required. Schemes that incentivise businesses to defer tasks like irrigation away from peak times in exchange for financial compensation are also in place.
Transpower’s Request for Proposals (RFP) to support the transmission network seeks solutions that could contribute up to an initial 63 MW of reduced electricity demand at peak times in the first year of operation, growing to provide potentially 150 MW of reduced electricity demand by 2031. The RFP asks for solutions that can be in place by 2029.
“We are very interested in hearing from potential non-transmission solution suppliers,” Mr Clarke said. “There may be a range of opportunities or technologies that can support and partner with us. For instance, if you can store or generate electricity, or shift significant power use to off-peak times, you may be able to participate in some way.”
Transpower invites interested parties to submit their proposals by 5 April 2024. The Request for Proposal document is available on the New Zealand Government Electronic Tenders Service (GETS). A webinar on the RFP is planned for Thursday 29 February and more information is on the Transpower website.

Few bands have the distinction of inventing two sub-genres of metal, but gore-grind and melodic death metal owe their origins to the pioneering sounds of Carcass. The legendary debut from the Merseyside metal gods is a “musical abortion” (to quote vocalist and bassist, Jeff Walker) and their 1989 follow-up, Symphonies of Sickness, still has imitators to this day in Europe. 1991’s Necroticism won the most important album of the 1990s survey by Terrorizer magazine, and we all know what happened when the band released their 1993 masterpiece, Heartwork – or at least every metal musician in Scandinavia does. Feelings were trepidatious when they returned with 2013’s Surgical Steel, but they exceeded expectations and gave the fanbase Heartwork, Part II. Every important magazine and institution had it in their albums of the decade for the 2010s. Now, eight years later, the boys are ready with opus number seven, and a whole new generation of Metallica fans are waiting to discover them. But what about the fanbase that yearn for the early days when Carcass were the most extreme band in the world?
Album opener, ‘Torn Arteries’, should go a long way to appease all sections of the fanbase (except those lunatics that only like 1987’s Reek of Putrefaction) with its masterful execution of technical death-thrash and some of the most gruesome growls from Jeff Walker since Symphonies of Sickness. Listen to the rapid four-minute panzer attack for a second time, and you’ll admire how Dan Wilding switches between thrash skank beats and brief grindcore blasting. Everything you want from a post-1991 Carcass song is here – the scale-shredding riffs, the vintage pentatonic soloing, the fast palm-muting technique. You can even hear Walker’s bass in the mix. Kreator were doing this back in 1990 with their Coma of Souls LP, but it’s a sound we know and identify with the Liverpudlians.
They might have started as a band that eschewed metal cliches, but the Manowar drum beat at the beginning of ‘Dance of Ixtab’ will alarm some. Have Carcass turned into a stadium death metal act? Only the exquisite guitar solo and Jeff’s macabre vocals keep this in the death metal camp, while ‘Eleanor Rigor Mortis’ is a thrash metal number that references their Liverpool roots with a nod to the more famous song from The Beatles (‘Eleanor Rigby’). It’s the first chugging mid-tempo number and one that will delight a live audience. We can get a feel for the album at this point, and one observation becomes apparent – this is not Surgical Steel. The guitar tone is sludgy and the mix a lot rougher than its predecessor album.
The best way to assess Torn Arteries is to ask the question, “Does this LP become tedious at any point?” Your answer should be “no”. ‘Under the Scalpel Blade’ has been doing the rounds for two years and appeared on 2020’s Despicable EP. Here it stands out as a technical masterpiece that incorporates all eras of the band and still sounds as terrifying as it did when Decibel magazine premiered it in 2019. ‘The Devil Rides Out’ is Carcass indulging the same passion for classic rock as Megadeth and comes with sinister backing vocals to satisfy the morbid listener’s savage tastes. Bill Steer’s magnificent guitar work makes him the most mesmerising performer in the industry – he’s that good.
As a group that enjoy taking risks, Carcass are subtle here with their creative-destructive tendencies. Only the nine-minute prog-metal of ‘Flesh Ripping Sonic Torment Limited’ leaves you scratching your head, and that’s because it starts with nimble folk guitars and races through four colossal riffs before we even reach the three-minute mark. The bizarre shred pattern buried among the carnage is like a Yngwie Malmsteen version of the guitar harmony from Thin Lizzy’s ‘Whiskey in the Jar’. After two more detours via death-doom and a slow passage of Pink Floyd soloing, they end it with a Black Sabbath interpretation of death metal and a warning that “The circus of death is approaching…” It needed to be a special song to justify its running time, and it delivers.
In fact, the question of whether Carcass have turned into a prog metal band is as urgent as the consideration that they may be aiming for stadium death metal status on Torn Arteries. ‘Wake Up and Smell the Carcass/ Caveat Emptor’ is a shameless – but exhilarating – attempt to rouse a Wacken crowd into a chant of the song title with a Led Zeppelin hook soaked in sludge and primed for the thrash frenzy that follows. It will surprise you as much as the Dream Theater melody and solo looming through ‘In God We Trust’, not to mention the tambourine. Er… What the fuck? Maybe they’re now a progressive death metal band, if we’re to use the 1970s understanding of progressive. Edge of Sanity and Opeth fans will lap it up.
There’s no doubt Carcass are peerless in the death metal genre, but they’re also in danger of losing touch with it as they move towards a mainstream heavy metal sound that nobody could have foreseen in 1991. Torn Arteries is a guitar masterpiece, but you’ll hear few artists copy this chapter of the band’s discography in the years to come when they have the first four albums to feast on. Yet, like the new Gojira record, you’ll find little to dislike and plenty to feast on. The more you spin it, the more satisfaction it brings.
Let nobody tell you this is a safe record – it’s another attempt to evolve and deserves our respect, even if it misses the stupendous brilliance of their earlier LPs by a whisker. Most artists would be honoured to have a record like this in their repertoire, but Carcass are not most bands.
Release Date: 17/09/2021
Record Label: Nuclear Blast
Standout tracks: Torn Arteries, Under the Scalpel Blade, Flesh Ripping Sonic Torment Limited

Thanks to inflation, labor shortages and supply chain woes, companies are grasping for strategies to enhance revenue and mitigate risks.
And, like the virus, the financial situation stemming from the pandemic is lingering longer than many expected. To strike back, CFOs are taking a page from the private equity playbook and turning to procurement as major lever for EBITDA improvement.
Instead of viewing procurement as a back-office function, CFOs are embracing many of the same complex procurement strategies PE firms have relied on for years to make quick improvements in a portfolio company’s finances. Now, leaders see what good looks like and more companies are starting to catch on and adopt this fool-proof cost optimization method.
Working alongside their CFOs, procurement officers can dramatically improve their company’s EBITDA through procurement-related optimization, mitigate risk through supplier resiliency and achieve a competitive advantage in the marketplace.
Speedy procurement changes mean speedy savings
From the very beginning of the massive and unprecedented disruption caused by COVID-19, companies had to look for new avenues to drive savings. Private equity – long known for acting with speed – discovered long ago that procurement strategy is one of the fastest ways to accelerate value in their portfolio companies. Procurement changes can generate savings in months, as opposed to revenue growth, which can take years. When the pandemic hit, PE operators started using procurement as a lever almost immediately, while other organizations lagged. But they’re learning.
Over the last decade, most PE firms have invested in building operating teams focused on exiting several key strategies, often in parallel, to generate value focused on both top line (revenue) growth and margin improvement. In an environment where companies are being valued at >12x multiples of EBITDA, many private equity operating partners rely on procurement as a key lever to reduce costs. When utilizing this strategy, procurement value can be achieved in months, and the savings have a direct dollar-for-dollar impact on EBITDA. As an example, if a PE-owned portfolio drives $10 million of bottom-line savings, this could have a >$100 million impact on the company’s valuation.
Procurement in an inflationary market
Prices on nearly all goods and services, from raw materials to labor and transportation services, are skyrocketing. In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, demand for goods have surged, and supply chains are currently strained like never before.
And while it’s recognized that it’s difficult to lower procurement costs at a time of raging inflation, private equity operating partners are ensuring their company’s procurement strategies are not solely based on cost and price alone. Rather, using a Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) approach that includes utilizing demand and process levers, has proven to be an effective strategy to counter pricing increases and inflation growth.
As procurement leaders and CFO’s are taking a more aggressive view of procurement’s ability to impact earnings and earnings per share (EPS)—similar to PE’s view of valuation enhancement— below are examples of procurement’s TCO approach within an inflationary market:
- Price – With inflation continuing, there’s less room to reduce the cost of goods and services. So, which pricing levers can help a company achieve the most value for its spend? A full competitive bid, incumbent renegotiations, extension of a current deal to avoid price increases, and protection from future price increases should all be part of one’s procurement toolkit.
- Demand – How can an organization influence the demand or need for goods and services? Possibilities include SKU rationalization, schedule optimization, complexity reduction, usage rationalization, item substitution or rationalization and demand reduction.
- Process – How does a company procure goods or services in a way that maximizes value? Answering that question requires looking at parameters such as order size, compliance and lifecycle cost management.
Supplier continuity helps mitigate risk
Beyond cutting costs, reducing demand and changing processes, we’ve seen a major focus in the last 18 months on supplier continuity programs to mitigate supplier risk. If you can’t rely on key suppliers to fulfill orders for materials you need to make finished goods, you cannot drive revenue. When risk management begins in the sourcing stage through identifying and closely managing suppliers, threats can be identified early in the process.
To reduce risk, they need to broaden their supplier base by identifying new partners, including potential second- and third-tier suppliers. Other risk mitigation strategies include moving production to less expensive countries; relocating it to nearby companies to shorten the supply chain; and shifting to JIC (just-in-case) supply chains, which involves purchasing in greater volume to maintain extra inventory.
Procurement changes can add up to 40% EBITA improvement
Do these procurement strategies work? The answer is yes.
A 1% decrease in spend will increase EBITDA by more than 1%, our experience shows. In most cases, a company’s procurement spend is many times its EBITDA, so a 10% reduction in spend may improve EBITDA by 20% to 40% improvement. Compare those results to the $5 to $20 in new net sales companies need to generate a single dollar in EBITDA impact. There are few savings levers that offer such a dramatic, immediate impact.
Significant cost savings through smart procurement strategies can change that – as can vastly improve procurement data collection and analysis, a weak point of many organizations. Savings that make a measurable difference to EBITDA achieve the financial predictability C-level executives are looking for. Alignment between procurement leaders and CFOs can be a company’s greatest weapon in difficult financial times – and help leave competitors in the dust – pandemic, or no pandemic.

SEBASTIAN – The Sebastian Police Department has added a felony for fleeing charge to the man involved in an Oct. 9 shooting with officers at Earl’s Hideaway.
Ward Kenyon, 28, is accused of eluding Sebastian Police Officer Tegpreet “Preet” Singh on Sept. 26, according to a warrant affidavit.
Officer Singh spotted a green two-door pickup with a headlight out as it was traveling on U.S. 1, according to the affidavit.
Singh stated he identified Kenyon as the driver of the truck as it fled from him, traveling north in the southbound lane at speeds reaching 100 mph. Kenyon escaped after crashing the truck in Micco, according to the affidavit.
Kenyon confessed to driving the pickup while he was being held recently at Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne, according to the affidavit.
Coincidentally, Singh is the same officer injured by gunfire when Sebastian Police attempted to serve Kenyon with a warrant for violation of probation connected to a 2015 conviction for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and battery.
During the struggle at Earl’s, Officer Braeden Nevue “drew his firearm and engaged Kenyon,” Sebastian Police Cmdr. John Blackledge told Sebastian Daily.
Both Singh and Kenyon were shot, although officials have yet to release details or the high-definition video from Earl’s on how many shots were fired and from whose weapons.
Blackledge said two guns were found in Kenyon’s possession.
Singh is still recovering from a gunshot to the leg and is now being treated outside the hospital.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement is still investigating the officers’ actions.
On Monday, Kenyon was booked in the Indian River County Jail where a warrant was also issued for the felony charge. He is currently being held without bond.
According to court records, Kenyon will be arraigned Nov. 8.
Sebastian police also intend to file charges for attempted murder of a law enforcement officer and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

Creative Ways to Motivate Your Employees
The common thread that runs through all small businesses, from professional services to manufacturing, is that a motivated workforce is central to the business’s success.
Here are some quick, inexpensive, and potentially effective ways to motivate your employees and improve your employee retention.
Weekly “Good News” Emails
Too often the business day can be about addressing problems or issues, large and small. We forget to recognize the “wins” and other positive accomplishments. Yet, it is the successes we achieve that inspire us to reach new heights.
Encourage Mental Breaks
Whether it is making sure employees go out for lunch, take a mid-day walk, or even take a short “power nap,” these breaks away from the grind can re-energize, refresh, and even lead to new ideas.
As a leader, your troops appreciate your visibility and a human connection to you. Walk around the floor. Write handwritten notes of appreciation. Roll up your sleeves to help meet a deadline.
Break the Routine
Think about bringing in a community speaker for a “lunch and learn” session. Perhaps even sponsor a “bring your pet to work day!” Changing up the routine inspires, invigorates, and makes it more fun to be at work.
Invite Staff to Client Visits
Not only will an employee appreciate the opportunity to visit with a client and the vote of confidence it implies, but he or she will gain a valuable perspective on what a client needs and the integral role he or she has in delivering your service or product.

There are many different techniques used by physical therapists to help reduce pain throughout the body. One of the specialized treatment methods used in top physical therapy clinics in Asheville, NC, is dry needling.
Also known as dry needle therapy, this process uses stainless steel filiform needles injected into areas of tension or knots in the muscles. There is no liquid or medication injected into the tissue. It is the use of the needle in the correct location that helps to release muscle tension and relieve pain.
Dry needling is not the same as acupuncture, although they have some similarities. Acupuncture places needles in the skin at specific locations in the body with the focus on releasing the energy and allowing it to flow through the body. Acupuncture is a traditional medicine practice and is used to treat a variety of physical and mental health conditions.
Dry needling therapy is only used in the treatment of pain or muscle cramping. The positioning of the needles is based on physiology and the position of trigger points in the muscles. Trigger points are areas of knots or muscle tension and pain.
Muscle Relaxation and Pain Reduction
When combined with other physical therapy techniques, patients experience the release of painful muscle knots, reduction in healing and recovery time, and help to manage delayed muscle soreness from intensive training or exercise.
Most patients at Asheville, NC, physical therapy clinics report limited if any pain and soreness during the process. The muscles may be sore for up to 48 hours after the treatment, but this can be managed by applying heat and ice.

Get In On The New Culture Of Skincare With FENTY SKIN
After making her debut in the beauty industry with FENTY BEAUTY back in 2017, Rihanna knew exactly what she was getting under her belt next. Just three years after the legendary makeup line created “The FENTY Effect” across the globe, a new star was born: FENTY SKIN.
Designed to make skincare uncomplicated for everyone (even the fellas), FENTY SKIN products are multitasking and easy-to-use. Discover clean, vegan, cruelty and gluten-free formulas made with ingredients from around the world, and enriched with some of skincare's most essential powerhouse ingredients. With exquisite textures and warm scents, the queen of hype wants to make you feel as good as you look. The best part? More earth-conscious packaging that's smart, refillable, and recyclable.
If you want to take the leap and commit to skin as flawless as Riri’s, keep scrolling.
Step 1: Remove + Cleanse
First things first, create a clean slate with Total Cleans’r Remove-It-All Cleanser, a 2-in-1 makeup remover and cleanser. Its creamy, decadent lather removes all traces of dirt, oil, and longwear makeup in a breeze without drying or stripping skin.
Packed with Barbados cherry (which is full of brightening Vitamin C), ginkgo biloba (known to control oil and clarify skin), green tea and fig (which are rich in antioxidants), and quince (a rare fruit that conditions), it gives the delicious deep clean you rightly deserve. And the sweet, fruity scent of cherries and coconut instantly elevates your ritual from a chore to a treat.
Step 2: Tone + Treat
Now is the time to snatch pores and dark spots with Rihanna’s favourite multitasker: Fat Water Pore-Refining Toner Serum. This game-changing 2-in-1 toner and serum refines the look of pores, improves texture, brightens, smooths, and fights shine — all without stripping the skin.
The hybrid product is formulated with a luxurious blend of niacinamide (it stimulates collagen to help reduce dark spots and even the skin tone), Barbados cherry (for brightening), Australian lemon myrtle and witch hazel water (which help reduce oil and refine pores), in addition to a cocktail of other hydrating and antioxidizing botanical powerhouses.
Rihanna’s application tip: Because of Fat Water’s unique jelly-like texture, it’s best to pat it in with your fingers. Apply to palms, then pat and press all over your face, letting it absorb.
Step 3: Hydrate + Protect
The one product Rihanna can’t live without? Hydra Vizor Invisible Moisturizer Broad Spectrum SPF 30 Sunscreen, a 2-in-1 moisturizer and sunscreen.
This one has a punch of Kalahari melon (it’s rich in antioxidants and vitamins and hydrates), niacinamide (for that bright, glowing finish), hyaluronic acid and aloe (to condition and soothe), and baobab (a nutrient-rich superfruit that helps hydrate). The light-as-air formula has got a slight pink tint to it, which means no white cast on rich, deep complexions. Even better, it’s made without oxybenzone and octinoxate, the two UV filters that are known to cause coral reef damage.
If great skin comes as easy as 1, 2, 3 steps, we’re game. Go ahead and shop FENTY SKIN right here on Sephora!

Benefits of Having Your Furnace Service Before Winter
There are tons of fun things to do in the fall, especially in the U.S.. But, there’s also that long list of must-do’s before the cold weather arrives. Although the outdoor yard work and home touchups are probably at the top of your list, there’s at least one indoor task you should consider taking care of early: getting your furnace service and tune-up appointment scheduled.
The team at Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing recommend that furnace service and maintenance be done at least annually in order to prevent a breakdown in the peak of winter, when the furnace is needed most. There are a number of benefits to getting it done before the cold and crisp weather reaches the U.S., too. Take a look at some of the top benefits of furnace service:
- Helps maintain your heating system’s energy efficiency. Regular maintenance can help ensure that your furnace operates at its peak efficiency throughout the coldest months of the year, helping you save on your heating bill.
- Ensures your furnace is in tip-top shape. From checking airflow to full multi-point inspections, you can be certain your furnace is ready to get you through whatever Mother Nature decides to throw at the U.S. this year.
- Reduces the chances of breakdowns. Just about the last thing you want to happen on a cold winter day is have your furnace go out, especially when heating companies are limited in their capacity for new customers. A furnace service appointment now will allow the technician to find potential problems and solve them before they happen.
- Helps keep your home safe. All furnaces burn some type of fuel to produce heat, and cracks and leaks around the fuel area could compromise your family’s safety. Inspecting the heat exchanger, gas burner and gas valve calibration are key to keeping your home safe through the heating season.
- Keeps your warranty valid. Many manufacturers require that you have at least one furnace service appointment per year in order to maintain your warranty, so getting regular maintenance done can save you money if bigger problems occur down the road.
Taking proper care of your furnace has plenty of additional benefits, and getting furnace service done annually is just the first step. It’ll help keep your home comfortable throughout the cold season and save you time later because you’re less likely to need additional service, maintenance or repairs in the middle of winter when heating and cooling companies like Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing are at their busiest.
If you have any questions about furnace service or a tune-up in the U.S., give us a call at 866-397-3787 or schedule an appointment with Service Experts Heating, Air Conditioning & Plumbing through our online scheduler.

An uninterrupted power supply (UPS) system is one of the most important aspects of maintaining stability in your business operations. An online double conversion UPS system can provide a higher efficiency, better surge protection and a faster response time.
What is an Online/Double Conversion UPS System?
An online/double conversion UPS system is designed to provide constant, high-quality power to connected equipment. It works by taking in incoming AC power and converting it to DC battery power before converting it back to clean, stable AC power. This process ensures that the equipment connected to the UPS receives consistent, reliable power without any spikes or drops in voltage or frequency.
What are the benefits of an Online Double Conversion UPS System?
- Higher Efficiency – One of the major benefits of using an online double conversion UPS system is its higher efficiency rating. This type of system operates more efficiently than other models because it uses two inverters to convert AC power into DC, and then back into AC. This process allows for more consistent performance and fewer losses in energy, which can result in cost savings for your business.
- Better Surge Protection – Another benefit of using an online double conversion UPS system is that it offers superior surge protection compared to other types of systems. Unlike other models, this type of system provides continuous protection against surges by providing clean power and monitoring any changes in voltage levels. By doing so, you can rest assured knowing that all of your devices are being safeguarded against any potential damage caused by spikes or sags in power levels.
- Faster Response Time – In addition to being more efficient and providing better surge protection, using an online double conversion UPS system will also give you faster response times compared to other models. That’s because this type of system operates without any break in power, meaning there’s no delay between when you lose power and when the backup power kicks in. This ensures that any downtime caused by outages will be kept to a minimum, protecting your business from costly delays and disruptions.
Investing in an online double conversion UPS system can be a great way to protect your business against unexpected outages or surges in power levels.
