Mabu is a friendly, in-home robot companion for people with heart problems. She supports, educates and monitors patients with cardiac conditions, helping reinforce healthy lifestyle habits, such as AHA's Life's Simple 7 and helping the patient take their medications correctly, and make timely decisions when they have symptoms or concerns. Mabu can provide in-home patient education and reminders, both on a scheduled basis and when the patient wants to learn, using conversations and knowledge checks with data transmission to the clinician. Mabu can also be used to streamline communication between the patient and their clinician, leaving more time for what really matters.
Interview Purpose
You will be interviewed shortly for feedback on how Mabu can help Cardiac Rehabilitation Program staff, physicians and patients.
We need your recommendations about how Mabu can help Cardiac Rehabilitation Program staff, physicians and patients.
If you are willing to help, one or more representatives from VenAdvisory will interview you, asking questions about how Mabu might be used for cardiac rehabilitation. This information will help us understand what Mabu should be able to say and do, and how Mabu would be used in the context of cardiac rehabilitation to support both patients and clinicians.
Mabu – What is she?
Mabu is a robot, designed to be an attentive, connected health coach and companion for patients with health problems. She is in the patient's home, providing 24/7 support to complement the efforts of busy nurses, physicians and family caregivers by filling critical gaps between clinic visits or phone calls. Mabu also supports the care team with a nurse dashboard, and she can also go mobile keeping caregivers and family members up-to-date.
Mabu and Cardiac Rehab
Heart failure has been the first focus in developing Mabu's readiness to support cardiac patients, and pilots are underway to develop and test Mabu's ability to support patients in the home, promote positive patient outcomes and reduce readmission. Now, we are expanding to cardiac rehab, knowing that engaging in physical activity and a healthy lifestyle involves many decisions every day. This will also take advantage of Mabu's ability to connect with wearable devices and smartphones that allow patients to record their own objective outcome data about their performance as well as their health.
How Mabu may be used to support Cardiac Rehabilitation
- Collect accurate patient-reported data on a daily basis about diet, exercise, medication adherence and other health behaviors.
- Identify barriers to healthy lifestyle choices, exercise and medication adherence to personalize the individual patient's cardiac rehabilitation plan.
- Promote enhanced patient engagement, accountability and accurate reporting of patient outcomes.
- Promote enrollment in traditional Cardiac Rehab programs with hybrid home-based, on-the-go and virtual Cardiac Rehab options.
- Reinforce healthy behaviors to modify cardiac risk factors between Cardiac Rehab visits.
- Healthy eating, counseling, exercise, weight, medication adherence, tobacco cessation.
- Reinforce key care plan activities and Cardiac Rehab goals with reminders, educational information and conversations to confirm understanding.
- Reduce Cardiac Rehab visit no-shows, attrition, wait lists, patient out-of-pocket costs and other barriers to participation.
- Enhance the frequency and accuracy of patient reporting of psychosocial and health outcome data.
- Support a protocol-driven, nurse-managed approach to Cardiac Rehab delivery for low-to-moderate risk patients in the home or on the go.
- Promote access to Cardiac Rehab for patients who may be unable to attend facility-based Cardiac Rehab due to challenges with cost, transportation, driving time or other barriers.
- Increase revenue for Cardiac Rehab service lines.
- Scale up Cardiac Rehab program services for more patients without impacting staff caseloads.
- Support clinical trials of innovative Cardiac Rehab solutions.

Thousands of people met the Mirror Man every day in #Tivoli. He stood in front of the #Pantomime Theater and rented out mostly to small children his long boxes with mirrors at each end. With these periscopes they could see #Pjerrot, #Harlequin and #Cassander over the heads, hats and coats of the grown-ups in front of them.
He would stand by the pathway in his cover-alls whispering earnestly about the wonderful attributes of his invention.
One mirror looks all wrong. Two will help you get along. See like the birds! Hear my words! Periscopes here: 25 øre!
Every day when the last pantomime show finished and the giant peacock had unfolded its feathers, he would lock his periscopes in a storage room beneath the ticket office and go home. He never stayed to watch the fireworks or hear the orchestras, but instead wandered quietly out of the side entrance of the park, crossed the street to the train station and took the subway to his little room on the street floor of a large apartment complex in Frederiksberg.
Nobody really noticed the little man without his mirrors. Nobody ever wondered where or how he lived. Nobody ever heard what he thought about anything, possibly with the exception of the matronly old ladies who populated this part of town. When they met the Mirror Man on the street they would exchange remarks about how badly everything was going, be it the weather, the government, the busses, or young people. The Mirror Man had learned to repeat the words he heard - and this made him acceptable, perhaps even popular with these proud women.
At home he had neither books nor television nor radio to wile away the days before he left for Tivoli. He did have a street mirror though.
Perhaps you are not familiar with street mirrors. This very proper fixture had been attached to the windows of many an apartment in Denmark since about 1800. From a comfortable arm chair the person inside could watch through multiple mirrors the goings and comings on the street. They were predecessors of modern day reality television, with the qualification that street mirrors could not be edited nor censored nor enhanced. What one saw was what was happening.
The street floor inhabitants sat knitting, or in the case of the Mirror Man, repairing small mechanical flaws on his periscopes, while they watched the traffic on the street.
This suited him well. He often thought to himself that mirrors could only tell you the truth. One mirror could show you the opposite of the way things were, and two, a wrong and a right, could show you precisely what was happening in front of you. This was the way his periscopes were constructed, and this was the way he watched the streets, through mirrors made by himself, reality twice reflected. He had often thought that if the evil queen in Snow White only had looked at herself in one of his two-mirrored constructions, she never would have made such a grave mistake as to believe her own beauty to be greater than that of Snow White. I should never have read that tale, he thought. I should have written it!
One day the mirror man took his ladder out of the closet, opened his front door, and went out on the street. He put the ladder up by his window, climbed up one step and unscrewed the street mirror with a screwdriver he took from his pocket. Putting the contraption under his arm he went back to his apartment and put the ladder and the mirror into the closet and closed the door. Then he pulled shut the curtains in the parlor and turned on the lights.
He still could see the alarmed face of the delivery boy who had stumbled on the sidewalk as he had carried a case of beer towards the entrance of the building. It had not been a bad accident, just a slight swerve, a hitch in movement. The boy's red, messy hair, and astonished blue eyes had appeared for a moment right up at the mirror, larger than life, abrubtly peering in at the Mirror Man. The boy might as well have been some evil genie popping up in the distraught and disturbed prose of a fairy tale, flopping around in the story like some monster fish caught in a net aboard a small fishing boat in an all too billowing sea.
So there! said the Mirror Man under his breath as he sat down in his armchair. But he was panting uncontrollably.

When I told him that we are on the side of the advertiser he paused, thought about it and then the light bulb went off. What's good for the advertiser is good for our entire industry. 100% of the over $24B spent on search advertising comes from advertisers. They pay the bills for search engines, ad providers, parked domain companies publishers as well as those of us that are working to provide tools to improve traffic quality.
Despite our diverse client base, the lens Click Forensics looks through for every decision we make is that of the advertiser.
Smart sellers look through this lens too. Companies like Yahoo that asked advertisers how they could improve communication. The result was the cooperative development of the FACTr system enabling advertisers to communicate concerns to Yahoo. Companies like Lycos, who realized early on that "quality matters" and began working to enhance their quality using traffic insight tools. And industry organizations including the Click Quality Council, while made of all parts of the ecosystem, is always advertiser focused.
Advertisers drive our industry and that reality will become even clearer in the future as mobile grows more important and display begins to look like search. We are proud of our involvement and the work of the Click Quality Council.
So as the IAB releases the Click Measurement Working Group Guidelines, it is important that they are reviewed through the lens that matters, that of the advertiser. We should be asking, are these guidelines fair? Do they have enough substance to improve traffic quality and help ensure advertisers get what they pay for? Do the guidelines improve transparency and enhance trust between buyers and sellers?
I attended the IAB's annual conference in Orlando last week and have a clear picture of their lens . We applaud the IAB's leadership and the work of the Media Rating Council and task force members who produced a foundational document. Our hope now is that we can work together to build on this foundation to build trust, enhance transparency and accelerate the growth of online advertising.

So What Do You Do At TDi?
In 2012, I met Bessi Graham and Paul Steele, who were planning something exciting.
Their idea was The Difference Incubator, an organisation that would help social enterprises to grow, thrive and take on a serious amount of investment.
I soon became TDi's first employee, and over the next three years worked with every enterprise that came through the door.
Today, I am an associate – coming in to run workshops and consultations with social enterprises and charities that are looking to improve their business model.
TDi's work is hard to describe, and has changed over time.
When asked what I did for work, my default answer used to be "I work in the CBD"
Thankfully, it's evolved since then.
The Why
Building a business is hard.
Solving important social problems is hard.
Doing both at the same time is both incredibly compelling, and borderline impossible.
Some brave people believe that it can be done.
For these "social entrepreneurs", having a good support team can transform their idea.
Having a partner who will encourage you when times are tough, spot problems before they arise, and walk the journey alongside you is a huge advantage.
These are people who are not afraid to tell some harsh truths, who know what investors want, and can ask great questions.
They strengthen your business, and enables you to grow at the right speed.
We want to be that partner.
The How
At first, every entrepreneur told us that they wanted investment.
We would help them do a "Capital Raise", where they take on money from an investor, and use it to grow the business.
Our minimum investment size was $500k, and we would take a success fee when the deal happened.
As a show of good faith, our fee was often taken as equity, meaning we own a small part of the business.
This makes a lot of sense – if we were going to recommend the company, we needed to believe in it too, like a chef eating their own cooking.
It turns out, 99% of the enterprises that said they wanted a capital raise didn't really want it at all.
Instead, they wanted financial security – the knowledge that they'd be able to make payroll in three weeks' time.
When times became tough, they thought: "What we need is an investor!".
Instead, what they really needed was a sustainable business model – one that isn't bleeding money.
That's where I come in.
My role is to design, test and validate the underlying business model, to make sure it works in the real world.
If the business model works, the enterprise makes money.
No panic, no desperation, no sleepless nights.
We describe this as the three M's.
You need a good Mission, a good Model, and a good Management team.
If we can get those three right, pitching to an investor is actually quite easy.
The What
I work alongside entrepreneurs using a range of tools, such as the Business Model Canvas, Value Proposition Canvas and The 5 E's of Customer Journey.
These tools are incredible – they permanently change the way you view your business.
They empower you can spot trouble ahead of time, and identify exciting opportunities that are otherwise hidden.
They also provide a way of testing your assumptions, quickly, cheaply and painlessly.
Sometimes we work with groups of 10-12 enterprises at a time, sometimes it's with just one team and their board.
The sessions are always engaging – we use a lot of real world case studies, back and forth discussions, and a few rounds of great coffee from Kinfolk and School of Life.
They're also mentally draining – we're exploring new customer segments, reframing value propositions, experimenting with new pricing strategies, even changing what business we're in.
I love the tough, honest conversations.
It's important to get the tone right – one that encourages constructive criticism, honesty, creativity and passion to all come out at once.
Change is uncomfortable, but we can help make the process go as smoothly as possible.
Having helped hundreds of other social enterprises through the process, we can provide some creative suggestions, and hit bad ideas on the head quickly and politely.
I hate the typical "Seagull Consultant" – who flies in, craps all over you, then flies away.
Our industry doesn't need smartasses and negativity, it needs honesty, vulnerability and ingenuity.
Our approach is to be in it for the long haul.
The process of scaling up takes time, so we touch base every few weeks with the business to see where we can help.
It's a tough journey, but it's worthwhile.
If you're a social entrepreneur – or would like to be in the future – then the tools and techniques we use can make your life easier.
Have a look at posts like The 5 E's of Customer Journey, Value Proposition Canvas, and "Ugh, Financial Modelling?"; free and useful resources that will help improve your business.
If you're using the Canvas, you'll love my free Business Modelling eBook, full of tips for inventing and testing ideas that will change the world.
If you'd like to get in touch, I'm at email@example.com

✨ Recommended destinations
This is an algorithmic recommendation based on @liang's trips history to find places people they haven't been to yet that other people with similar travels as them also went.
Spend a few hours and learn the Korean alphabet (not that hard) and Google some names of Korean dishes + it's spelling in Korean. It will help a lot as most restaurants only have Korean menu's and often without pictures. As mentioned previously on the reviews, it's a little hard to eat alone, but Gimbab Chonguk (김밥천국) is everywhere and 24/7 - no one will bat an eye. Also look for places that "specialises" in dumplings, They are usually "alone-eating" friendly. And so are ramen places as well as Korean "chinese" restaurants - Jajangmyeon (자장면) is very good and super addictive. Bibimbab restaurant places are fine too. Actually, it's not that hard to eat alone in Korea. The "group" meals are generally quite obvious and will be things like BBQ. You'll figure it out. Do Get used to kimchi and spicy food otherwise you'll end up eating the same thing all the time. Be adventurous. Challenge yourself and eat an octopus alive (산낙지). If you're really brave try 보신탕 before authorities close them all - I haven't but a lot of Weagukins (foreigners) secret do. Cafe's generally have really good wifi, as you would expect from one of the most connected countries in the world. Expect to pay $4-6 for a latte and maybe even more at Starbucks. Best cafe's are usually around Hipster areas and Universities. Indie owned cafe's are awesome. Nightlife is great, probably amongst the best in Asia. Can get very expensive especially at night clubs in Gangnam where it would could be like $10 for a beer - in that case you can still get drunk for $2 with soju just outside at 7Eleven. Winters are stupidly cold and summers can be brutally hot & humid. Go between April and June or September to October. They have cherry blossoms in spring which is beautiful and so are the autumn leaves. Lived here for many years. It's a cool place and vastly underrated. Seoul is continuously becoming more expensive and cost of living will soon be comparable with places like Tokyo.🎒 Nomad 💵 Cost 📡 Internet 😀 Fun 👮 Safety 🌥 Feels 25° 77° 24° 75°AQI 170$2,341 / mo17Mbps×
I lived between Budapest and Szeged for a year. The public transportation and city vibes kept me alive while the winter weather almost killed me in winter. Definitely get out before it gets cold. Spring to Fall you can visit Lake Balaton and their wine country for some nature, Szeged or Pecs for a college town vibe, heaps of cafes and outdoor restaurants. The pastries and food markets. The thermal baths are great and not too expensive, great parks to visit, nightlife options, and music festivals. Cost of living is great when you're making US level wages, my roommates and I lived like kings and queens. Many locals are hostile towards foreigners, especially NGO expats (the wage gap is large between locals and expats). However, most are polite and some even cordial. The younger generation can speak English, the older generation cannot - based on my experience. The Hungarian language is a beautiful queer thing that I could never tire of. I loved it and would have stayed longer given the chance. Honestly - cannot wait to go visit and return to Hungary when I get a chance.🎒 Nomad 💵 Cost 📡 Internet 😀 Fun 👮 Safety 🌤 Feels 24° 75° 21° 70°AQI 250$1,516 / mo41Mbps×
Been living in 3 different centrally located airbnb in Berlin (2018), each between 800 and 900€ per month for 40-45 sqm (we're two, so 400-450€ each). Each time a full flat and not a shared airbnb, legal now since some months (though it was always possible to get a full flat before as well). Internet was always between 15 and 50 mbps. I spend 100€ per week on food, including restaurants (pretty cheap here), check for Turkish market on Maybachufer and Turkish stores in Neukölln (I spend less on food here than in Chiang Mai!). Berlin is such an awesome place to live, very multicultural, very tolerant, many different neighborhoods, quite relaxed feeling, many parks, lakes all around. No need to speak German at all. Come over here, probably one one of the best place on earth ;) (written in Sept 2018)🎒 Nomad 💵 Cost 📡 Internet 😀 Fun 👮 Safety 🌥 Feels 25° 77° 24° 76°AQI 330$3,006 / mo26Mbps×
Don't believe the prices on here for an apartment. 686 usd/month refers to an apartment in a high class condo, right in the city centre and seconds away from the BTS(train station). Just remember this, people working at supermarkets make 2 usd/per hour. If you want to live like a local, then you can save a lot of money. If you don't mind a 5-10 minute walk from the BTS, then you can easily get a one bedroom apartment for 300 USD per month, in a high class condo, plus with free golf cart service to the BTS station. I have literally gone to a restaurant to pay 8 USD for a meal, when the exact dish was available on the street for only 1 USD and tastes much better. I ate out everyday and went partying a couple of times a week, and my total monthly expenses was still under 1000 usd. TIPS -Gyms are fucking expensive in Thailand. Expect to pay at least 60 USD/month for the gym, which is crazy when you consider the average wage in Thailand is 15 usd/per day. -Vitamins and supplements cost double the price than what you would get at home. Thais do not take supplements. Maybe only foreigners and really rich Thais. People spending 1500 USD per month must be eating steak daily and hanging out at places meant for foreigners.🎒 Nomad 💵 Cost 📡 Internet 😀 Fun 👮 Safety 🌧 Feels 35° 95° 29° 84°😷AQI 1110$1,564 / mo19Mbps×

I would disagree on the safety level of this city. Living there for 8 months now I'd say from my experience that Barcelona streets aren't safe at all. Many robberies, physical and sexual agressions are frequently occurring mostly due to drug issues in some central neighborhoods. I agree on the perfect weather great food and tech scene too on the positive side.🎒 Nomad 💵 Cost 📡 Internet 😀 Fun 👮 Safety 🌥 Feels 28° 82° 26° 79°AQI 240$3,438 / mo38Mbps×
I have been living in London for over 2 years as a student. It's ridiculously expensive. However, there are options. What I like about the city is you can find many events anytime you want. It's active all year 24/7. There are so many foreigners and tourists which make the living more vibrant and less racist. London has sub-communities which I think is a good thing. Those communities bring their cultures, ethics and foods. Public transportation and restaurants are great. I used to spend 3-4 hours in Costa or Nero cafe without interruptions. Though if it's raining or summer season it could be hard to stay long. On the negative side, the UK suffers from slow and old bureaucracies making life difficult sometimes. It's not easy to open a bank account or to rent. The government systems are slow. Also, you will feel depressed in winter when the sunset is before 4pm and the temperature is 0c. All in all, everything is great about the city except the affordability and the winter.🎒 Nomad 💵 Cost 📡 Internet 😀 Fun 👮 Safety 🌧 Feels 21° 70° 20° 69°AQI 110$4,078 / mo17Mbps×

Read To Teleport Bookstore (2017)
The Singapore Writers Festival is an annual gathering of the international literary scene's brightest stars. The festival has always celebrate the ability of literature to whisk readers away on escapades and adventures.
In 2017, the fair was organised around the theme of Aram (அறம்), a Tamil word that questions what the meaning of being "good" are.
Notable speakers and authors at the fair included Madeleine Thien (Canada) and Junot Díaz (US).
With this in mind, we produced the Read to Teleport Bookstore with a curated focus on science fiction books. These books complemented the titles of the festival's featured writers to produce a holistic selection.
We also envisioned the bookstore as a space for interaction, reading, sharing and introspection. As such, we hosted events such as readings and book launches. These events aimed to excite an international audience about the Singaporean literary landscape through engaging content and experiences.
The fair is organised annually by the National Arts Council, and BooksActually was the official bookstore of the festival in 2017.

Financial analyst positions are concentrated in the large metropolitan areas that have many financial institutions, such as New York City, Boston, Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. The major employers of financial analysts are investment companies, brokerages, banks and insurance companies. During events like the Global Financial Crisis, when everyone seemed to take an increased interest in anything money related, financial analysts popped up on our television screens on a regular basis with soothing words, or words less comforting e.g. drink all your good wine now before the world explodes". So if you have a voice for radio, or a face for television, and can back that up with proven credentials as a financial analyst, you could carve out a new career in an unexpected field. This financial carrot is a real lure, and attracts many people with a finance-related college degree.
This means you'll be faced with real competition if you want to make it as a financial analyst. More jobs are being created for financial analysts, due in part to the increased number of mutual and hedge funds, and the assets within them. Another factor is more analysts are needed to monitor the growing number of investment opportunities offshore, as the planet becomes one big global marketplace.
And yet more financial analysts are required to oversee complex and innovative investments springing out of new technologies. But, going by those salary figures, it is no surprise to see so many people putting their hands up for these roles. While you can expect a good salary wherever you work, the best paying cities for financial analysts are a mix of the usual suspects, and some lesser known financial hot spots. It's fair to say that if you want to increase your chances of getting a job as a financial analyst, you might want to avoid these cities and start off somewhere else. The best financial analysts have a head for business, in the same way George Clooney has a head for Hollywood.
Financial analysts evaluate the economic outlook of different sectors and industries for organizations that wish to invest. Personal financial advisors work with individual clients and focus on a wide range of personal investment needs. Securities analysts are employed by insurance companies, banks, securities firms, pension and mutual funds, and other organizations interested in assisting their customers in the investment process.
Analysts research industry statements and use company sales, costs, commodity prices, tax rates, and expenses to evaluate a firm's current and projected value. Analysts also meet with executives to evaluate an organizations leadership and market outlook. Some Analysts focus on determining risk levels connected with different investment possibilities.

How Your Style Can Affect Your Brand with Jennifer Mary of Apple and Pear Wardrobe
Episode 267: Show Notes
On this episode of the Strategy Hour we have a very wonderful guest and conversation to share with all our listeners! Today, we welcome Jennifer Mary of Apple and Pear Wardrobe. She is here to tell us all about how to curate your best wardrobe and the difference that it can make in your business and life in general. Funnily enough, Jennifer admits she is not the person who loves clothes more than anything, but she is obsessed with difference they can make to our lives. At the end of the day it's all about what clothes mean to us and how they can make us feel. Let's face it, we perform much better when we are feeling good and and we feel good when we look good, so really it's quite a simple equation.
We talk about compiling a great capsule wardrobe and decluttering your closet for a stress free mind and less decision fatigue. We also get into how to really dress according to your needs and to make the right impression. Jennifer shows how you can easily increase your levels of productivity and happiness by just making a few changes to your dressing habits and looking the part. A big takeaway from the episode is the idea that you can make a statement, wherever you are, with how you dress. Your clothes speak volumes about you, make sure show up in the right way!
Looking Presentable And Showing Up as an Entrepreneur
For many of us as entrepreneurs, not having to dress for a corporate office is a relief and something we embrace. But this can also lead to not getting dressed properly for a long time! Unfortunately, there are quite a few reasons why not getting dressed can actually lead us into a bad space mentally and physically. We know that some weeks just seem to get the better of us and we end up wearing sweats and pajamas for pretty much the whole time. But Jennifer reminds us of the great gift that is athleisure! Current fashion is really your best friend and in today's trends you can feel comfortable and look stylish. This is the best of both worlds and pretty much what you should be aiming for. Dressing comfortably does not have to equate to not dressing nicely just as in the same sense that dressing well does not have to mean dressing up. All of this is totally possible and it is only a mindset change away! As soon as you start this process, chances are you won't look back and the changes you see will be infectious!
Dressing For Your Brand and Making A Statement
We are often the ambassadors of our own brand so in a sense your clothing should reflect the image that you want your company to have. Jennifer reminds us that dressing in line with the brand energy is way better than more literal visual representations of your biz. It's not about logos, you can say so much about yourself and what you do by just dressing appropriately. It is a great way to attract potential clients and collaborators by showing the world who you are. For Apple and Pear Wardrobe, the energy that Jennifer tries to portray is casual, polished and funky. So when she is picking out clothes, she makes sure that the clothes communicate this vibe. It never has to be one dimensional, monotonous or look like a costume, just think of dressing like your ideal client and showing up as the best version of yourself! Here at TCC we decided that bright lipstick was going to be a significant choice for our brand, something that showed people who we were and what we liked. These choices attract and repel people and like we have said before, this is actually what you should be going for.
The Research and Studies that Underpin Jennifer's Work
There have been plenty of books and studies that back up these ideas. However, to be honest it just comes down to your mindset about your clothes and how they make you feel. There is always a noticeable shift that happens when you get dressed and you need to find that fit that works for you. At the same time most of us have bigger fish to fry than what we wear so you do not want to be spending all your time on your outfits. We need to steer clear of any stress and anxiety on the issue. Buying more clothes is never the answer and usually leads to more indecision and problems than solving them. Jennifer suggests shopping once at the beginning of a season and then closing that door to avoid additional items. If you plan your shopping well, you can have a simple and effective plan for that whole quarter and not have to worry about it again! Sound good? We think so!
Curating and Sticking to Good Capsule Wardrobe
So there is no need to keep shopping, just make sure you love every piece when you get it and stay out of the stores. Less is definitely more in this situation! Even browsing typically has an intention behind it so stick to your plan! Abagail has found that being more and more picky is the answer for her. She no longer buys things unless she loves them and thinks it will be her next favorite item. That way she just has a closet full of favorites instead of stuff she kind of liked a while ago. When you buy great stuff, you are less likely to need to go back to stores any time soon! Jennifer reminds us that good enough is not actually good enough, aim for great or fantastic. Get rid of the excess from your wardrobe and keep things streamlined and stylish so you are always looking your best. These ideals all fit together nicely and sustainability is another leg of this table, fast fashion is not great for anybody! So with all these great tips are you ready to look your best? We know you are!

After learning that "the federal government will be sending hundreds of migrants to Broward County to alleviate the highly publicized problems at the U.S. Mexico border," Broward Mayor Mark Bogen suggested the immigrants may be better off at one of President Donald Trump's hotels.
Broward County officials issued a press release Thursday, chiding the Trump administration for what could be an influx of hundreds of undocumented immigrants into a region sorely lacking in affordable housing.
The threat from Trump follows the Republican-dominated Legislature's passage last month of one of the nation's strictest bans on "sanctuary cities."
According to the press release, "hundreds of immigrants will be arriving in Broward County on a weekly basis without designated shelters or funding to house them, feed them, and keep them safe."
Broward Mayor Mark Bogen called the situation "a humanitarian crisis," and pledged the county will "do everything possible to help these people."
"If the President will not provide us with financial assistance to house and feed these people, he will be creating a homeless encampment," the mayor added.
If the county can't find the resources to house the migrants, Bogan suggested "we bring them to the Trump hotels and ask the President to open his heart and home as well."
Here's the rest of the release:
Mayor Bogen says a sudden influx of immigrants will further strain Broward County's social services and will cause further harm to immigrants who will be left here with no money, housing or basic knowledge of the area. Broward County will reach out to all charities, non-profits, businesses and other resources to try to help the migrants who will be arriving here.
"This is irresponsible policy. To bring hundreds of people here every week without providing the necessary resources to house and feed them is inhumane. Although our Commission has not had the chance to address this issue, in my opinion, the people that we can't find shelter for and will become homeless, I would suggest, that we bring them to the Trump hotels and ask the President to open his heart and home as well," said Mayor Mark Bogen.
Broward County is not a sanctuary city and the Florida Senate recently passed a controversial bill banning such cities in the state. President Trump has threatened to send people who illegally cross the border to communities that are considered immigrant friendly.

Mom's Fave Monday: Sleep Hacks for All Ages
Let's be real, parent or not, there isn't a single (adult) soul I've ever heard say, "Nah, I don't need more sleep!" We are all sleep deprived for one reason or another; insomnia, potty training puppies, teething babies, or good ol' fashioned heartburn that comes with pregnancy or aging are just a few of the common culprits that keep us up at night. So here are a few of my favorite hacks to improve the quantity and quality of our rest at night (even the tiniest member of our family).
1. Late Night Showers (or Baths)
This may be counterproductive for some who are invigorated by showers, but personally, I find nothing more relaxing than running a really warm shower or bath right before bedtime. After all, it's where many of us do our best thinking! Why not get all those thoughts out before climbing into bed, so that they don't haunt us on our pillows? Not to mention that there's no better feeling than crawling under the covers squeaky clean. After a long day, there's nothing I look forward to more than unwinding under that hot running water once everyone has been fed, the baby is in bed and I finally have a little time to myself. It's definitely a part of my son's bedtime routine, too, with a little help from the next item on the list.
2. All Lavender Everything
The baby gets a bath with lavender soap and the grown ups get a spritz of lavender pillow mist. Every. Night. I'm not an essential oil person, but if I was I'm sure we'd go through gallons of lavender oil. It's such a soothing and relaxing scent that can bring a busy mind going a mile a minute right down to a dull hum. There have been several nights where my husband and I have been restless and a middle-of-the-night lavender spritz has been the only thing to help us get to sleep. Can't live without it!
3. Warm Milk (or Tea)
It works for babies! Whether yours is still nursing or drinks from a bottle, I've known most babies to go down without a fight with warm milk to soothe them into slumber. So why wouldn't it work for grown-ups, too? Of course, if you're like me, dairy may have gotten hard on your digestive system with age, so there's always a warm cup of tea to lull yourself into a sleepy state.
4. Baby Breathing Monitor
Any parent, old, new, or soon-to-be can agree that nothing stresses you out about sleep more than worrying that your baby is still breathing while they're doing it. SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) is a real and legitimate fear for new parents, and stressing about whether or not your baby is getting enough oxygen is a serious sleep deterrent for any parent.
Enter fabulous wearable baby breathing monitors, like the Owlet or the MonBaby Monitor, to keep track of baby's breathing for you. Monitors like these let you know if and when baby is awake and active or at rest with motion sensors. The Owlet tracks heart rate, while the MonBaby tracks breathing. I'd like to take a minute to tell you a little bit more about the MonBaby Monitor.
The MonBaby Monitor is a wireless baby monitor which attaches to any of baby's regular clothing, such as a onesie or pajama, with a snap clasp on the chest and tracks baby's breathing by detecting the rise and fall of the chest. Another feature of the MonBaby is a roll over detector to help keep you informed of baby's position so you can keep her on her back. The best part is that all of this links to an app which does all the tracking for you and alerts you if it detects any abnormalities or changes in baby's breathing. I can't think of a better way to use our phones which we always have at hand!
Another awesome bonus- the MonBaby is great for crawlers & beginning walkers as you can set it to alert you if baby is getting out of your proximity while you are busy cleaning up or working from home. It can even be helpful with toddlers transitioning from cribs to bed with a fall detector; it's a product that can be useful for more than just the first few months of parenthood!
Monitors like the MonBaby are serious lifesavers- literally for babies should one ever end up in a scary situation, and for parents alike, knowing that while you sleep, you can rely on awesome technology to monitor your baby and alert you should anything go wrong. And that is why I'm so excited to be able to team up with MonBaby to give away one of these monitors! If you just want to skip the giveaway and purchase a MonBaby Monitor for yourself, I have a hack for that, too. ;) At checkout on www.monbaby.com, use the discount code ihelpmoms and you'll get $30 off the retail price for a great deal! But if you're in the mood for a freebie (and who wouldn't be?) keep reading for further details!
5. A Relaxing Book
Reading a book each night is my little guy's favorite part of bedtime routine, and what's not to like? A little time to unwind with a soothing favorite story or a new adventure can quiet the minds of kids and parents alike, and provide a great opportunity for bonding while promoting literacy. Again, I repeat, what's not to like?! And as a busy adult, whether you have children to read to or not, it's always difficult to find the time to do things for yourself. I personally love reading, but hardly find the time to do it just for me. It's something I really want to get better about making time for, because it's a better habit to wind myself down for bed than just watching TV until I fall asleep on the couch, staring mindlessly at the screen.
So there you have it! These are my favorite hacks to get myself and my guys in the zone for a good night's rest. What are your favorite bedtime routines/hacks? I would love you to leave me a comment below! It's part of your entry if you're still reading for MonBaby Monitor details. ;)
Interested in winning a MonBaby Monitor for you and your baby (retail value of $99.99)? Here are the steps:
1. Be sure to follow me @dumpydiapers & MonBaby @monbaby_monitor on Instagram!
2. Like this photo on my feed & tag any friends who'd want to enter in the comments section on Instagram. One entry per tag!
3. Comment your favorite sleep hack below!
Giveaway closes Friday, May 11, 2018 at 11:59pm and is open to U.S. residents only. Good luck to all of those who enter!
Happy snoozin'!

How Many Ants Do Anteaters Eat in a Day?M.M. Sullivan
Giant anteaters consume up to 30,000 ants in a single day — which is even more impressive considering they sleep for sixteen hours a day. They use their long tongues, which are coated with sticky saliva, to slurp up hundreds of ants per minute.
You can protect the giant anteaters' habitat in the Amazon and provide them with all the ants they can eat by giving a Gift that Gives More. Find out how.

Project: Large conference hall with seats on steps
Room size: 780 m³
Acoustic problem: High reverberation timesdue to the height of the place
In a conference hall, acoustic comfort is a fundamental requirement for a good listening quality at medium and long distance. The DIN 18041:2004-05 standard, in fact, establish the acoustic quality criteria of places by dividing them in two groups, A and B, according to the listening level required. Group A, audibility at medium and long distance; group B, audibility at short distance.
The proposed acoustic correction project concerns a conference hall with rectangular layout; the volume of the hall is about 780 m³. During the design phase, the functional needs of the place have been studied and then, a phono-metric analysis has been carried out to calculate the reverberation time before the acoustic treatment and the results achievable after the installation of Caruso Acoustic sound-absorbing panels.
The result was an average reverberation time (Rt) of 2,745 s, with empty room. According to the DIN standard and given the volume of the place concerned, the achievement of a reverberation time of 1.13 s at an average of 250-2000 Hz has been set as a goal to ensure the proper acoustic comfort in the hall.
As shown in the graph, on the basis of the acoustic absorption coefficients of the products – tested in a reverberation chamber according to the ISO 354 standard – it has been possible to determine the quantity of sound-absorbing panels needed to achieve the goal. Thanks to the installation of 38 Hanging Silente panels with size of 120x120x5 cm, the average reverberation time has decreased from 2,75 s to 1,15 s, in line with the optimal value prescribed by the standard.
In the design of a conference hall, we should therefore pay particular attention to the choice of finishing materials to ensure a low reverberation time, suitable for the intended use of the hall. Equally important is the distribution of the sound-absorbing material: in this case, Silente panels have been installed on the back and side walls. On the ceiling, however, they have been distributed in order to ease the proper sound propagation and, at the same time, to obtain an adequate level of speech intelligibility from every listening position in the room.

The girl screamed and screamed all night until neighboring Ada jumped the fence separating the two yards and carried home by pity. As a result of that punishment or disease Marilú had given her a facial paralysis and had contracted one side of the face as if she was laughing all the time. But it was good and helpful.

Here's a look what's happening:
New Mexico State Police Officers were notified of a motorcycle crash in the median of I-10 yesterday, heading westbound near mile post 43, approximately thirty-five miles west of Deming. Upon arrival at the scene it was discovered that a 2015 Harley Davidson motorcycle had entered the median and crashed, ejecting the rider. Richard Berry, of Tucson, sustained fatal injuries and was pronounced deceased at the scene. The crash is still under investigation.
Barbara Reedy, of Deming has been appointed to the Luna County Commission, representing District One. She will serve through the next general election. Reedy fills the vacant seat created by the passing of Joe Milo, Jr. Reedy currently provides physical therapy services in Deming and Hatch schools and early intervention services throughout Luna County. She is secretary of the Deming-Luna County Economic Development Board and previously served as president of New Mexico MainStreet for Luna County and the Deming-Luna Chamber of Commerce. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy from Texas Women's University in Denton, Texas. In addition, Governor Martinez appointed Erich Bower of Tyrone to the Mining Commission. He is the general manager of the Tyrone Mine in Grant County. Bower holds a Master of Science degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Colorado in Boulder, Colorado.
Last weekend, District Ranger of the Wilderness Ranger District, Rachelle Huddleston-Lorton, reported that the gates were left open in the pastured area located between mile markers 18-22 and Lake Roberts on the north side of Highway 35. The Wilderness Ranger District turned out their Forest Service horses and mules into the North Skates Pasture in mid-November. This pasture is part of the Sapillo Allotment and is used by the Forest Service in cooperation with the permitee, The Nature Conservancy. The Forest Service horses and mules are pastured in this area which is open to the public. All gates are identified with signs referring to the livestock in the pasture. Since the gates were left open over the weekend, district personnel had to hunt down and retrieve the livestock. The public is urged to close these gates which will eliminate the horses and mules from wandering onto the highway which is a hazard to the public and to the animals.
In a look into New Mexico news, since the tragic high school shooting in Aztec, New Mexico last week, a therapy team from Farmington called "Pet Partners", brought their trained therapy dogs in, hoping they could help. Sara Kaynor, of the Pet Pal Therapy Team said, "our dogs calm people and bring a smile in tough times, so we wanted to do our small part for the people of Aztec." The group plans to bring two to three dogs to each school in the district to visit with the students and teachers when they go back to class. The superintendent canceled class across the district Friday. He said schools will stay closed until today. That is when everyone, except high schoolers, will get back to class. He says it is still unclear when Aztec High students will return

"64% of Millennials would rather make $40,000 a year at a job they love than $100,000 a year at a job they think is boring."
Contributed by Aaron Fairchild, CEO of Green Canopy
A lot of research has been dedicated to learning more about Millennial attitudes as companies struggle to adjust corporate cultures to align with their thinking. This cohort has received a bad rap in most of the research, but at Green Canopy we have found that building a culture that unleashes the "Millennial Mindset" in all of our employees increases our productivity and our ability to execute our mission to inspire resource efficiency. For this reason, I believe that organizations should work to realign their corporate cultures to foster this mindset in their employees. A few fun facts below help illustrate the point that the future of successful businesses will be predicated on creating corporate cultures that are designed to attract and retain millennial minded employees of any age.
Millennials (People born in 1981 or after) comprise more than one in three of adult Americans by 2020.
They will make up as much as 75% of the U.S. workforce by 2025.
89% expressed a stronger likelihood that they would buy from companies that supported solutions to specific social issues.
87.5% disagreed with the statement that "money is the best measure of success," compared to about 78% of the total population.
The top ideal employers of currently employed Millennials are Google, Apple, Facebook, the U.S. State Department, and Disney. Note: Five of the top 15 most ideal employers are government agencies (State Dept., FBI, CIA, NASA, and Peace Corps).
63% want their employer to contribute to social or ethical causes they felt were important. About half of older Gen Xers and Boomers felt the same.
64% would rather make $40,000/year at a job they love than $100,000/year at a job they think is boring.
Source for the above: http://www.brookings.edu/blogs/brookings-now/posts/2014/06/11-facts-about-the-millennial-generation
Not only do half of all Millennials choose not to identify with either political party, just 31% say there is a great deal of difference between the Republican and Democratic parties.[Polarizing politics are a vestige of the silent and boomer generations, and not necessarily part of the future of America.]
Despite their financial burdens, Millennials are the nation's most stubborn economic optimists. More than eight in ten say they either currently have enough money to lead the lives they want (32%) or expect to in the future (53%).
Source for the above: http://www.pewsocialtrends.org/2014/03/07/millennials-in-adulthood/
Millennials are connected. The idea of being required to sit in a cubicle for eight hours a day strikes the Millennial as bizarre.
Millennials don't want to simply pay their dues as did previous generations. For many companies, the default process is to promote based on tenure rather than talent. [Equal pay and promotion for equal work… Merit rules the day. What a concept!?]

The below excerpt was taken from an interview with Ron Alsop who did the research and wrote the definitive book on Millennials.
"Kuhn: How can employers best capitalize on the millennial generation?
Alsop: I believe employers can best capitalize on millennials by making them feel that their work is important, giving them lots of feedback and positive reinforcement, and telling them that the company will help them develop their skills and career potential. This generation isn't loyal to any one company and is likely to work for many employers. But millennials will be more apt to stay with an employer if they can see why their sometimes seemingly mundane job is important to the company's success. They also want to build their portfolio of skills and experiences through mentoring, training and development programs, and the opportunity to switch jobs within their company…"
Evolve Into the Millennial Mindset
Frankly the work of today and tomorrow is important work. As the world's population continues to grow and strain our finite planetary resources, all businesses of the future will have to consider and adapt to working more with less resources. Many more businesses will intentionally start and organize themselves to tackle some of the world's pressing resource scarcity and climate challenges, while also doing well for their shareholders and by their employees.
As I synthesize all of this, the Millennial picture becomes clear. This mindset is a key to our world's future success because Millennials are a large percentage of working Americans now and will be in the future. They are diplomatic peacemakers for whom success doesn't necessary equal wealth. They want to work at doing good in the world. They would rather have a job of purpose and challenge than one that is boring and pays more. They are optimistic, believe in merit over tenure, and prefer coaching over being told how to perform. Rather than complain about the Millennial Mindset, we should celebrate it, seek it out and foster it in our work.
The successful businesses of tomorrow will employ people with the Millennial Mindset that some love to hate. Their cultures will be designed to unlock the inner Millennial in all their employees and earn the right of retention for those they are so fortunate to serve. The stodgy business practices that made corporations great in the past, thrived in what is no longer our world: a very top down, heavily bureaucratic, do-as-you-are-told, perceived limitless resource reality. Thankfully, society has largely evolved beyond those outdated business practices. It is time for employers to do the same.

A English ale style Christmas beer, and with a name like Strong Rudolph what could go wrong?. Not sure why all these Christmas beers need to be so strong, guess it helps spread the holiday cheer. So yes anyway it pours a dark amber color, but still let's quite a bit of light through. The head is negligible on this but leaved behind some nice lacing. Smells of nice caramel malts and a touch of earthy British hops. A sweet but balanced taste to this one. There is a lot of toffee sweetness up front, with a very dry wheat taste and dark fruits which are kind of a staple for these christmas ales. This is all balanced by a decent hop bitterness that doesn't allow the sweetness to overwhelm everything. The only really disturbing thing to the pallet is a slight coppery taste that is really noticeable the more you drink. This is a decent Christmas beer, although it seems a bit too sweet with not enough of the balancing spicieness of most of these types of beers.

Zig Ziglar – motivational speaker, author and salesman – passed away on 28 November 2012. He inspired millions with his motivational and highly inspirational speeches and books. He leaves a winning legacy behind.
Unfortunately I never met Zig Ziglar, but I had the pleasure of seeing some of his videos and reading some of his material. A true salesman, his enthusiasm was smittening, and his advise solid.
To me he seemed like one of the most genuine of all the American motivational speakers. His speaking style was authentic, unique and with a good portion of humour. A true storyteller his gift was to inspire people to do better. And I am sure he did.
Zig Ziglar wrote more than 30 books.He published his first book – "See you at the top" when he was 49. It went on to sell more than 1,5 million copies, which is quite significant.
If you ever feel you need a bit of inspiration and motivation, google "Zig Ziglar" and read his wisdom and watch snippets of his presentations.
Thank you, Zig, for your inspiration. Rest in peace.

Have you suffered Repetitive Strain Injury as a result of your employment?
Employers have a duty to protect employees from potential harm, especially where it is known that certain repeated movements or actions can cause injury. If you work in an environment where there is a known potential for a Repetitive Strain Injury, it is vital that your employer takes the necessary steps to ensure you are not at risk.
Left unattended, a Repetitive Strain Injury can become a serious condition that affects quality of life. If you have been diagnosed with a RSI, believe the injury was caused byunsafe or unhealthy work practices, and feel that your employer failed to take the proper precautions to keep you safe from harm, you may be able to make a Personal Injury claim for your suffering.
Repetitive Strain Injury symptoms
Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) along with the broader term Work Related Upper Limb Disorders, covers injuries caused by performing repetitive tasks that have cause soft tissue damage. The hands, wrists, forearms and upper arms are often affected, and symptoms include:
- Stiffness
- Numbness
- Tingling
- Weakness
- Cramp
- Pain
RSI symptoms may come and go with the movement to begin with.
Am I at risk of a Repetitive Strain Injury?
This form of injury is widely associated with office workers undertaking data entry activity, but there are several types of employment where RSI commonly occurs:
- Factory workers: RSI can arise from repetitive tasks being performed on manufacturing and production lines, especially where workers have to perform their tasks with poor posture.
- Supermarket workers and cashiers: RSI arises from the repetitive nature of movements on a checkout counter.
- Office workers: RSI results from repetitive computer-based tasks such as data inputting, typing, and secretarial duties.
With years of experience pursuing repetitive strain injury claims and a rich understanding of health and safety regulations, Attwood Solicitors can help you successfully receive compensation for your RSI claim.
Making a claim for compensation may be the last thing you want to think about, but we would urge you to get the ball rolling and establish if you are eligible for compensation as soon as possible.
Claims can take considerable time to conclude, and in the meantime, your finances could be severely stretched. We deal with most cases on a 'No win, No fee' basis, leaving you to focus on your recovery, rather than worrying about legal costs.
Attwood Solicitors will work hard to ensure a fast resolution for your case, without adding further hassle or stress to your life. Contact us today for a free consultation, expert advice, and support with your claim.
Determining liability is the first step in a Personal Injury case, and evidence will be required to prove that a third party was responsible for any injury or illness for which you are seeking compensation.
If you are unsure who is liable, or you are struggling to collect evidence, but still believe that you deserve compensation for your injuries, get in touch with our team immediately. We may be able to help build your case by talking with witnesses, experts, or other stakeholders to establish the facts.
When you've been diagnosed with a Repetitive Strain Injury, it's understandable that your main objective will be to recover from your experience and put it behind you. Claiming compensation for your accident is often a good way of doing this, as it not only provides financial support at a time when you need it the most, but should also help you feel that justice has been served
We work tirelessly to ensure that each client is awarded the maximum compensation possible for their case. If you are successful in your claim, you may be awarded compensation for one or more of the following:
- The injury sustained, including physical and mental damage. Compensation is awarded based on pain, suffering, and inability to resume 'normal' life.
- Financial losses, including loss of earnings since the accident. Loss of potential future earnings may also be considered.
- Out-of-pocket expenses including care costs, medical costs, travel to medical appointments and home help. (Please note: It's important to keep any receipts for out-of-pocket expenses so that they can be included in any claim).
- Future needs – It may be necessary to make adjustments in the future, such as adaptations at home, which may also be claimed for.
Our experience and expertise in Personal Injury cases will help you to secure the compensation you deserve.
If you have sustained a personal injury, seeking compensation may be the last thing on your mind, but it's important to be aware that there are time limits for taking legal action. Don't worry, we understand that it may be difficult for you to talk about what has happened, but please rest-assured that our sympathetic team is here to support you, and will make the process as simple and straightforward as possible.
The first step is simply to get in touch with us. You can give us a call, email us, or complete our online enquiry form – whatever feels most comfortable for you.
We will take some basic details and information about what has happened, before introducing you to a carefully selected solicitor who specialises in your type of claim. They will then guide you through the rest of the process. (You can find out more about what that involves in the Attwood Solicitor'sGuide to Personal Injury Claims).
We deal with most cases under a Conditional Fee Agreement, also known as 'No win, No fee'. This means:
- No upfront payments
- Nothing to pay if your claim does not succeed
- No risk
- Lack of funds will not prohibit you from making a claim
If you don't receive any compensation, there is nothing to pay, so why not get in touch with our expert team and discover if you are eligible to make a claim?
There are many companies offering support for Personal Injury claims, but before you decide which one you trust to secure the best outcome for your case, here are some things you that you should know about Attwood Solicitors:
- We are Personal Injury Specialists – that means we focus solely on ONE area of specialism, rather than trying to be a Jack of All Trades. As such, our expertise is unrivalled.

Pestech plans to list subsidiary on CSX
Malaysian power infrastructure provider Pestech International has announced plans to list one of its indirect wholly owned Cambodian subsidiaries on the local stock exchange.
The company said in a filing to the Bursa Malaysia late last week that it is planning an initial public offering (IPO) for Pestech (Cambodia) Ltd (PCL), which constructs electrical substations and transmission lines, on the Cambodian Securities Exchange (CSX).
The listing will "facilitate the better segregation of business responsibilities", allowing the company and its subsidiary to "better focus on growing their businesses in their respective operating regions", it said.
"The proposed listing will also enable PCL to gain access to the Cambodian capital market for fund raising to pursue future growth opportunities," it added.
Pestech, which could not be reached over the weekend, said further details on the IPO would be revealed following an application to the Cambodian securities regulator, tentatively targeted by the second quarter of 2016.
PCL was incorporated in Cambodia in February 2010 and is one of four subsidiaries that Pestech uses on its turnkey electrical transmission projects in the Kingdom.
Pestech completed its first Cambodian transmission line project in June 2013. The company strengthened its presence in the Kingdom the following year with a contract to design, manufacture and install a 198-kilometre transmission line connecting Phnom Penh and Sihanoukville. Last year, it clinched a $92 million contract to develop a 230-kilovolt transmission line between Kratie and Kampong Cham on a BOT basis.

Your Choice
In this life God gives us the opportunity to freely choose between two kingdoms…His Kingdom or Satan's Kingdom. When we compare the two we see vast differences in what each kingdom offers:
God's Kingdom / Satan's Kingdom
Good / Evil
Light / Darkness
Love / Hate
Life / Death
Joy / Misery
Truth / Lies
Peace / Chaos
Freedom / Bondage
Heaven / Hell
Eternal Life / Eternal Punishment
Because of Adam's sin in the Garden death passed upon all mankind (Romans 5:12), whereby all of us sin and fall short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). We are all born into Satan's Kingdom. God allows us to make the choice to either stay there or accept His free gift of salvation, saving us from our sin and becoming a child of His Kingdom.
Joshua presented the same choice to those assembled before him before his death. "Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve Him in sincerity and in truth… And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve," (Joshua 24).
Who are you serving? In whose kingdom are you? There are only two. Joshua boldly pronounced "… as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD." The choice is yours, and yours alone to make.

How To Collect Your Money Without Disrupting Relationships
Collect Money Without Disrupting Relationships
"We are owed $50,000 by one of the largest retailers in the state, but we don't want to ruin our relationship with them!"
Cannabis businesses experience cash flow hurdles for a variety of reasons, a problem further compounded by the ever-changed legal environment alongside some larger-than-life personalities within today's green rush.
"We are owed $50,000 by one of the largest retailers in the state, but we don't want to ruin our relationship with them!" As collection experts, we are approached constantly with similar examples of clients worried to collect the cash they are yet to be paid.
Collecting on past-due receivables is never an easy internal project, either:
You delegate collection calls to a capable staff member with time available
Your salespeople attempt to collect the cash
You use an inside A/R representative to handle collection calls
Most growing businesses in the cannabis industry do not have the size, resources or infrastructure to hire full-time Accounts Receivable personnel. These businesses typically do not have employees with the free time to make dial after dial after dial to convince a customer to pay their outstanding bill. The worst case, which we've seen countless times, are salespeople spending their days and skills trying to sell a client on writing a check to pay for previous orders, rather than purchasing new ones. This puts your salespeople in a precarious situation. After building a sensitive business relationship, they must now go to their clients, and become the "bad guy bill-collector".
As there are "plenty of fish in the sea", it is important to do business with companies that you can trust. It is important to understand how to effectively communicate with past-due customers. It is important to recoup your cash, quickly, to be able to use it to reinvest and scale your operation.
By outsourcing your business's past due receivables with a collection agency, they professionally communicate with debtors to recoup lost revenue quickly, and more importantly ensure a lasting relationship with your customers long term. If debtors do not comply, agencies do their best to advise their clients if money owed is more valuable than a soured relationship.
Many collection agencies offer their services on a contingent basis. When most attorneys require a retainer fee and charge ridiculous hourly rates (sometimes exceeding $900/hour), contingent collection agencies charge nothing. They instead make a percentage of what they collect for you after you get paid. While it is possible that you could save using an attorney, it is unlikely. Collection agencies are businesses designed for one purpose, to recover their client's past due A/R.
Good collection agencies offer their clients different collection strategies with different levels of aggressiveness. This should be based on what their client deems more valuable; the cash or the relationship. Collection agencies allow your business to maintain a solid relationship, while the agency plays "A/R Manager" or even "the bad guy" if need be.
