Passion Fruit is a signature ingredient at Pica Pica. This fruit comes from the passion flower vine (Passiflora edulis) that is indigenous to Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil, but commonly grown all over South and Central America, Southeast Asia and South Africa. It is a small round fruit, yellow or purple on the outside, with black seeds wrapped in a juicy yellow membrane – with an incredible intensity of flavors.
At Pica Pica, we use Passion Fruit to give a twist to some of our traditional recipes. We developed what has become our signature Passion Fruit vinaigrette, which makes any salad a party! We also use it as an ingredient for a Fruit Fresca drink, as well as a base for our signature Passion Fruit Sangria, whether white, pink or red.
A traditional Spanish and Portuguese drink, Sangria comes directly to us from the Spanish influence in our culture; Sangria's refreshing properties are a perfect fit for Venezuela's year-round tropical weather. At Pica Pica we also serve it year round, regardless of whether it's hot or cold outside!
Our Passion Fruit Sangria is unique because of the care we take in making it. We start with good quality wine; add our own twist using Passion Fruit as the main fruit element; sweeten with a blend of pure sugar cane and a secret combination of spices; and finally, garnish it with pineapple and apples. Simply put, our Passion Fruit sangria is a little bit of "Love in a Glass."

Coastal birds and the beaches, wetlands, and clean water they need to survive are increasingly vulnerable. Seabird populations have dropped nearly 70 percent on average since the 1950s. Shorebirds are declining faster – nearly 70 percent on average since the 1970s. Challenges include pollution, overfishing, overdevelopment, climate change, and disturbance of birds by beachgoers.

Mrs Y's are to open the 2017 season with a return visit from these two fine young ladies as are part of their UK tour bringing along their new 'Live ' cd for your pleasure. The Carrivick Sisters are one of the UK's top young bluegrass and folk acts. Twins Laura and Charlotte perform their original songs and instrumentals along with a few carefully chosen covers on guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro, and clawhammer banjo. Their busy touring schedule is rapidly building them a reputation for engaging and entertaining live performances with tight sibling vocal harmonies and multi-instrumental virtuosity. Having grown up in South Devon, an area rich in folk lore and legends, much of their original material is inspired by their local surroundings and history.
As well as touring all over the UK, the Carrivick Sisters have performed at major festivals in Canada and mainland Europe including The Big Green Cardigan , or course. They have released five Cd's with a sixth, 'Live' CD being promoted on this tour.
The Carrivick Sisters first started performing as a duo in 2006, originally as buskers before starting to play more and more proper gigs, turning professional when they left school in 2007. In 2007 they won the South West Busker's and Street Entertainer's Competition, gaining themselves their first spot at Glastonbury Festival. In 2008 Laura achieved 2nd place at the RockyGrass Fiddle Contest in America. The Carrivick Sisters were finalists in the prestigious BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Awards 2010 and were named Band/Duo of the Year in the 2011 FATEA Awards. Most recently Charlotte won first place in both Old-time banjo and fiddle at FOAOTMAD's festival in Gainsborough 2012.

Bibliographic Details
Title: Two handwritten postcards and a short letter...
Publication Date: 1981
Binding: Ephemera
Book Condition: Near Fine
Signed: Signed by Author(s)
Two plain white postcards (3.5 x 5.5 inches), handwritten and signed by Robert Crumb, dated May 5 and November 18, 1981; and letter on plain white paper (8.5 x 5.5 inches), handwritten and signed by Crumb, dated June 5, 1981. All are addressed to photographer Charles Gatewood, known for his extensive documentation of social protest, alternative culture, celebrity portraits, rock and roll, body modification, and the Wall Street area of lower Manhattan -- his appeal to Crumb is obvious, and Crumb suggests that he turned many of Gatewood's photographs directly into drawings, or at least found much inspiration there. Crumb's distinctive lettering allows him to fit quite a lot of text onto a small surface area, so he effusively praises Gatewood's work, makes a few quips about other photographers, and mentions his "new" magazine WEIRDO. A little age-toning and some light wrinkling along the edges, but near fine overall. Bookseller Inventory # D3811

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Tuesday criticised the UPA Government after the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) pointed out irregularities in the waiving off the loans extended to farmers to the tune of Rs. 52,000 crores in 2008.
BJP lawmaker Kirti Azad said: "We are well aware of it. Farmers are still committing suicides because of the same reason. They have not only duped the poor people but also the farmers who with their own sweat and toil give us food. It is unfortunate that this government has been abusing the constitutional body to an extent where one feels very odd that the government itself, I think does not believe in the Constitution of India and it's a very serious matter."
The CAG report that was tabled in parliament earlier in the day, pointed out lapses in 22 percent of cases where loans were written off.
The statistics for farmer suicides in India are as striking as they are shameful. As per a report of 2009, one farmer commits suicide every 30 minutes.
The report stated that the many ineligible people were given benefits while the needy ones were left out.
However, the regional National Congress Party (NCP) a coalition partner in the federal ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) pooh-poohed these claims by the CAG.
Speaking to mediapersons, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) lawmaker and Minister of State for Agriculture Tariq Anwar said farmers had definitely benefited by the scheme extended to them, and if there were minute irregularities involved, the corrupt would be punished and severe action would be taken against that person.
"The CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General) report will first go to Parliamentary Standing Committee (PSC); discussions will take place there and only after discussing the matter, any conclusion can be made. As far as corruption is concerned, everybody knew that the policy which the government made was for the benefit of farmers and they are definitely benefited from this, but if there was minute corruption involved somewhere in this, then that should come in limelight and action would be taken against those who will be found guilty," said Anwar.
The scheme was aimed to provide relief to the farmers by waiving off the loans given to the peasants. (ANI)

Day 2: Poverty and Health Measurements Takashi Yamano Development Problems in Africa Spring 2006
Poverty in Africa Today's contents Overview of poverty in Africa Concept of poverty Poverty Measurements Example from the REPEAT in Uganda Poverty Dynamics: Chronic or Transit?
Poverty Measurements Economic growth does not necessarily reduce poverty. It depends on how income is distributed within a country. To measure the proportion of poor people in a country, we use various measurements.
Measuring Income Poverty Four major methods: Cost of Basic Needs (CBN) approach Food Energy Intake (FEI) approach One-dollar-a-day approach Social subjective poverty line In this lecture, I only explain CBN, which provide a basic justification of using One-dollar-a-day approach.
Costs of Basic Needs Approach The CBN approach is also based on nutritional requirements. 1) Define a basic food basket of poor 2) Calculate costs of obtaining the basket that provides requirements: >> Food Poverty Line. 3) A non-food poverty line is calculated at the mean nonfood expenditure of households who are on or around the food poverty line.
Costs of Basic Needs Approach Thus, the poverty line is the sum of food and nonfood poverty lines. Poverty Line = Z Food + Z Non-Food Different prices should be applied to different regions, such as urban vs. rural.
Indicators of Poverty The Headcount ratio: Poverty Gap: Squared Poverty Gap: See Deaton (1997): Chapter 3
xixi Individual income or expenditure 0 z P0: Headcount P1: Poverty Gap P2: Squared Poverty Gap
xixi Individual income or expenditure Weight 0 z P0: Headcount The headcount ratio does not give any information about the distribution of poor below the poverty line: an uniform weight to every poor household. 1
xixi Individual income or expenditure 1 0 z P1: Poverty Gap Poverty Gap indicates the degree of poverty. It assigns a weight which is (Z – X i )/ Z. Weight
xixi Individual income or expenditure 1 0 z P2: Squared Poverty Gap Squared Poverty Gap indicates the degree of poverty also but assigns a weight which is ((Z – Xi)/ Z) 2. Poorer households receive larger weights. Weight
Comparisons of poverty measures The Headcount Ratio is an easy to use measure, but it does not capture the depth of poverty. For instance, P0=.20 could be 20 % of people are just below the poverty line or quite below the poverty line. The Poverty Gap captures the depth of poverty. By multiplying this on the total income (GNI), we can get the total value to bring every poor person at the poverty line divided by the number of people. The Squared Poverty Gap gives more weights to poorer population.
Poverty Dynamics Chronic Poverty: the average welfare indicator (e.g., income or expenditure) over time is below the poverty line. –How to escape poverty: Need to improve physical and human capital to improve income generating ability in general. Temporary assistances may not help them to escape poverty in the long run. Transitory poverty: when the income or expenditure goes below the poverty line at times, although the average income or expenditure is above the poverty line. –How to escape poverty: Temporary helps, such as safety net programs or credit programs, may help them when they fell below the poverty line.
Chronic Poverty Time Poverty Line Always Poor (Chronic poverty) Transitory Poverty
Concept of Poverty: Measuring poverty in its multiple dimensions Income Poverty –Pros: (Mostly) Comparable across regions and countries –Cons: Measured at the household level, ignore inequality within the household Health and Education –Pros: Measured at the Individual level, Comparable measures are available –Cons: Limited data Vulnerability; Voicelessness and Powerlessness –Pros: These are important components of poverty –Cons: Difficult to define and measure it Source: World Development Report 2000/2001, World Bank, Chapter 1
Measuring Vulnerability Because of poor infrastructure and public service deliveries, without functioning insurance markets, people in poverty are vulnerable against shocks (natural disasters, diseases, violence, crime, etc.). Thus, vulnerability is an important component in poverty. But it is difficult to measure it. An example: Standard Deviation of Income over time –This measure reflects fluctuations in income. –Problem 1: Equal weights to upward and downward fluctuations –Problem 2: No time dimension: consecutive downward fluctuations are more damaging than separate ones. –Problem 3: Many small downward fluctuations and a large one may have same impacts. Source: World Development Report 2000/2001, World Bank, Chapter 1
Measuring Ability to cope with shocks Resourceful people are able to cope with shocks and recover from them over time, while resource poor people may suffer from long-term consequences by falling in to poverty. Measuring households' ability to cope Physical assets Human capital Income diversification Links to networks (social capital) Participation in informal (or formal) safety nets Access to credit markets Source: World Development Report 2000/2001, World Bank, Chapter 1

After years of chasing success, while morosely claiming they couldn't care less, when superstardom finally came knocking, Simple Minds fell over themselves to answer the door. It was not necessarily a pleasant sight, particularly for fans who'd followed the group through the uber-experimental days of Life In A Day and Empires And Dance. But still, the band made a mighty fist of their new status and, as their confidence grew, so their determination to hold onto their newfound status increased.
Indeed, 1985's "Alive and Kicking" (or "dead and buried" as the disgruntled former faithful renamed it) left no doubts where the group was heading - straight into the heartland of American stadium rock. And, for every one of their old fans who ran screaming back to the cover of clubland, 100 replacements leapt into their place.
Overseen by producers Jimmy Iovine and Bob Clearwater, "Alive and Kicking" boasts a new lush sound, emphasized by the Gospel-esque female backing vocals, and billowing with grandiose orchestration. Occasionally, things strayed into U2-shaped territory, albeit without that group's ringing guitar solos and hook-lined choruses. But still "Alive and Kicking" cakewalked its way into the US Top 3, and became another Top Ten hit at home.

My all time favorite children's author is Jan Brett, so naturally it is my also my favorite author study. I started small my first year teaching first grade. Then each year I slowly read different books and focused on different comprehension skills. Jan Brett books lend themselves to so many teachable moments. A few years ago, I sat down and put it all together. There are "ready to go" resources and center-type activities.

Good to see you here.I'm not getting caught up ont he last few pages.
Weekend plans: last night, Nick came over and we went out to eat and he took me to Walmart to pick up some things, and Petco to get a new tower for the cats. Then he fixed my computer. I sent him home with two big pans of homemade brownies (one for the cabin closer today--I roasted walnuts for thsoe brownies!).
Today: A friend is bringing me lunch and a big bag of weed!:D
I had my first cocktail in a week last night (my care coordinator told me I can have a drink -- and it was really with the tone of, "need a drink, have one, but no boozing it up"). I won't be allowed to drink once I get on more meds so I wanted to enjoy one while I can. I think it played a role in helping me to sleep through the entire night (first time in weeks). It was wonderful.
Tomorrow: Keep cleaning. I can do only so much at a time before I have to sit down and catch my breath. I wish they'd sent me home with a nebulizer. I have an inhaler to use up to four times a day, and my Xanax (anti-anxiety, but it has to do with breathing as well somehow) is for bedtime only, but a neb would help a lot.
so I basically sit at the computer and play wow, and take frequent breaks to do small things.
Walking down my long hallway leaves me winded.
This is so surreal!!!
And I'm hungry! I splurged and bought comfort foods to encourage me to eat. Peanut butter capn crunch, toaster strudel (!), etc. I ate more yesterday than I've eaten in a month in a single day. Nick even was happy with that.
Nick is stoic like me, but he admitted that he nearly broke down in the showers at the gym yesterday.:(
Look at it this way: at least this didn't happen during softball season because you would be sh*t at running the bases.
You have been inundated I am sure ( and if the weather reports are accurate that is probably true literally and metaphorically). I sent you a PM the other day with more than just good wishes.

Blankenship kicked things off, letting the people know that there were "delays right now on Georgia 400 and if you don't know, now ya know, about those".
It also marks the release of his limited collection of premium apparel and accessories in the United Kingdom, which have a fresh, coming-of-age take on Biggie's influence on hip hop and pop culture.
"I've got the privilege of representing the district where Biggie Smalls was raised". The evening, which the Nets have dubbed "Biggie Night", will celebrate and commemorate Biggie's legacy and the 20th anniversary of his passing.
"Every year, whether I'm in the club or just on the radio, I make sure to pay tribute to him by playing his music", DJ Lonnie B said. "Invited guests include Biggie's children, T'Yanna and C.J. Wallace, Mark Pitts, and Wayne Barrow".
"The music he made in the 90's era really inspired me", DJ Lonnie B said.
Turkey trot around dead cat strikes awe
Either way, we can all agree it would be alarming - for turkeys and humans alike - if that cat sprang up. He added that this type of behavior also warns other turkeys that there could be a threat.
Smalls' affiliate Diddy also paid tribute to the late rapper yesterday, meanwhile, in a video that was uploaded to social media.
That sounds legitimately unbelievable.
Combs took to his Twitter to ask his followers to share their favorite verses from the Notorious B.I.G. and to post it online with the hashtag #WeMiss YouBIG.
If the Nets' "Biggie Night" is half as entertaining as that video, the Brooklyn fans are in for a real treat.

Pope John Paul II today named William Edward Lori, an auxiliary bishop in the Archdiocese of Washington, to lead the Diocese of Bridgeport, filling the post that Edward M. Egan left in the spring to become archbishop of New York.
Bishop Lori, 49, has spent his entire career in the influential Washington Archdiocese and was a confidant and aide to Cardinal James A. Hickey for 18 years, who retired earlier this month. He is regarded within the church hierarchy as a deft administrator who will bring a steady hand to ministering to the more than 363,000 Roman Catholics in Fairfield County.
In recent years, Cardinal Hickey designated Bishop Lori to handle some of the church's most difficult issues in the capital region, including a case in which four Maryland priests were charged with sexual abuse in 1995. That experience will be of particular relevance in Bridgeport, where Bishop Egan was criticized for his handling of similar abuse cases.
Bishop Lori discussed the issue at a news conference where his appointment was announced this morning at the Catholic Center in Bridgeport, suggesting that he would work to resolve lawsuits that stemmed from old abuse cases. ''If there is any litigation out there, obviously I wouldn't comment on that,'' he said in response to a reporter's question.Continue reading the main story
''But,'' he continued, ''I would say that one of the great challenges that the church has faced in recent years have been allegations and, indeed, actual cases of sexual misconduct. It goes against everything we believe. It causes great harm to the faith of the people, and one of the things we have to be committed to is bringing about peace and healing and reconciliation.''
Supporters of Bishop Lori said healing and reconciliation were his goals in January 1995 when he confronted four priests individually in Prince Georges County, Md., with accusations that they had sexually assaulted an altar boy. All four confessed to the abuse, the archdiocese said, and were dismissed. Three of the priests later pleaded guilty to criminal charges and received minor sentences.
At the time, Bishop Lori and the archdiocese received some praise for demonstrating unusual openness in the handling of abuse cases involving the altar boy and other victims. The archdiocese arranged for letters from Cardinal Hickey disclosing the abuse to be read at Mass in two of the parishes where the priests had served. Bishop Lori also encouraged one victim to give an interview to The Washington Post.
''He was willing to face all of that with real openness and a real faith in what the church has to offer everyone,'' said John Capobianco, a friend who met Bishop Lori when he was a seminarian in Maryland in the 1970's.
Some advocates for the victims had much harsher assessments, though. ''He was horrible to the victims,'' said Thomas Economus, president of the Survivors of Clergy Abuse Linkup, a national nonprofit advocacy group. Mr. Economus said he spoke with Bishop Lori several times on behalf of victims. ''The victims have never received any kind of healing that they deserved and that they were guaranteed by Bill Lori,'' he said.
Sexual abuse was not the only issue that Bishop Lori confronted during his years in Washington. In 1991, he complained to administrators of Washington's subway system about advertisements on Metrorail cars accusing the pope of playing a role in President Ronald Reagan's nominations to the Supreme Court.
Msgr. Lorenzo Albecete, a theology professor at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers and an old friend of Bishop Lori, suggested that any assessments of his record could supply only limited insight. ''I don't think that one should expect that what one person has done as auxiliary bishop will necessarily be the way a person will deal with things when he is in command,'' he said.
Monsignor Albecete, who worked in the Washington Archdiocese for many years, said Bishop Lori maintained a keen understanding of his place within the diocesan ranks that was not blurred by an unusually close relationship to Cardinal Hickey.
''He was almost like Hickey's son,'' he said. ''It was an awesome thing, their relationship. Again, he was very conscious that he was not his own man and that he really had to implement positions in a way that was decided as an agent, not the originator.'' He added, ''I think now that he is on his own, we will begin to see him flourish in a wonderful way.''
Church officials said it was certain that Cardinal Hickey had advocated Bishop Lori's elevation.
Archbishop Egan, who is to be elevated to cardinal on Feb. 21, said in a statement: ''Bishop Lori has served the Archdiocese of Washington with great distinction. Thus, I am confident that he will be a wise and dedicated shepherd of the Diocese of Bridgeport.''
Joseph Zwilling, the Archdiocese of New York's spokesman, said the archbishop would not comment on Bishop Lori's role in sexual abuse cases or the cases pending in Bridgeport.
The Vatican has not set a date for Bishop Lori's installation. At today's news conference, Bishop Lori speculated that church officials in Rome might wait until his birthday in May, when he turns 50.Continue reading the main story

Verse 67. Before I was afflicted I went astray. Partly, perhaps, through the absence of trial. Often our trials act as a thorn hedge to keep us in the good pasture, but our prosperity is a gap through which we go astray. If any of us remember a time in which we had no trouble, we also probably recollect that then grace was low and temptation was strong. It may be that some believer cries, "O that it were with me as in those summer days before I was afflicted." Such a sigh is most unwise, and arises from a carnal love of ease: the spiritual man who prizes growth in grace will bless God that those dangerous days are over, and that if the weather be more stormy it is also more healthy. It is well when the mind is open and candid, as in this instance: perhaps David would never have known and confessed his own straying if he had not smarted under the rod. Let us join in his humble acknowledgments, for doubtless we have imitated him in his straying. Why is it that a little ease works in us so much disease? Can we never rest without rusting? Never be filled without waxing fat? Never rise as to one world without going down as to another! What weak creatures we are to be unable to bear a little pleasure! What base hearts are those which turn the abundance of God's goodness into an occasion for sin.
But now have I kept thy word. Grace is in that heart which profits by its chastening. It is of no use to plough barren soil. When there is no spiritual life affliction works no spiritual benefit; but where the heart is sound trouble awakens conscience, wandering is confessed, the soul becomes again obedient to the command, and continues to be so. Whipping will not turn a rebel into a child; but to the true child a touch of the rod is a sure corrective. In the Psalmist's case the medicine of affliction worked a change -- "but"; an immediate change -- "now"; a lasting change -- "have I" an inward change -- "have I kept"; a change towards God -- "thy word." Before his trouble he wandered, but after it he kept within the hedge of the word, and found good pasture for his soul the trial tethered him to his proper place; it kept him, and then he kept God's word. Sweet are the uses of adversity, and this is one of them, it puts a bridle upon transgression and furnishes a spur for holiness.
Verse 67. -- Before I was afflicted I went astray, etc. Not that he wilfully, wickedly, maliciously, and through contempt, departed from his God; this lie denies ( Psalms 18:21 ); but through the weakness of the flesh, the prevalence of corruption, and the force of temptation, and very much through a careless, heedless, and negligent frame of spirit, he got out of the right way, and wandered from it before he was well aware. The word is used of erring through ignorance ( Leviticus 5:18 ). This was in his time of prosperity, when, though he might not, like Jeshurun, wax fat and kick, and forsake and lightly esteem the Rock of his salvation; or fall into temptations and hurtful lusts, and err from the faith, and be pierced with many sorrows; yet he might become inattentive to the duties of religion, and be negligent of them, which is a common case. --John Gill.
Verse 67. -- Before I was afflicted. The Septuagint and Latin Vulgate, "Before I was humbled." The Hebrew word has the general sense of being afflicted, and may refer to any kind of trial. --Albert Barnes.
Verse 67. -- Before I was afflicted. Prosperity is a more refined and severe test of character titan adversity, as one hour of summer sunshine produces greater corruption than the longest winter day. --Eliza Cook.
Verse 67. -- I was afflicted. God in wisdom deals with us as some great person would do with a disobedient son, that forsakes his house, and riots among his tenants. His father gives orders that they should treat him ill, affront, and chase him from them, and all, that he might bring him back. The same doth God: man is his wild and debauched son; he flies from the commands of his father, and cannot endure to live under his strict and severe government. He resorts to the pleasures of the world, and revels and riots among the creatures. But God resolves to recover him, and therefore commands every creature to handle him roughly. "Burn him, fire; toss him, tempests, and shipwreck his estate; forsake him, friends; designs, fail him; children, be rebellious to him, as he is to me; let his supports and dependencies sink under him, his riches melt away, leave him poor, and despised, and destitute." These are all God's servants, and must obey his will. And to what end is all this, but that, seeing himself forsaken of all, he may at length, like the beggared prodigal, return to his father? --Ezekiel Hopkins, 1633-1690.
Verse 67. -- I was afflicted. As men clip the feathers of fowls, when they begin to fly too high or too far; even so doth God diminish our riches, etc., that we should not pass our bounds, and glory too much of such gifts. --Otho Wermullerus.
Verse 67. -- But now have I kept thy word.
Affliction brings Man Home.
"Man like a silly sheep doth often stray,
Not knowing of his way,
Blind deserts and the wilderness of sin
He daily travels in;
There's nothing will reduce him sooner than
Afflictions to his pen.
He wanders in the sunshine, but in rain
And stormy weather hastens home again."
"Thou, the great Shepherd of my soul, O keep
Me, my unworthy sheep
From gadding: or if fair means will not do it,
Let foul, then, bring me to it.
Rather then I should perish in my error,
Lord bring me back with terror;
Better I be chastised with thy rod
And Shepherd's staff, than stray from thee, my God."
"Though for the present stripes do grieve me sore,
At last they profit more,
And make me to observe thy word, which I
Neglected formerly;
Let me come home rather by weeping cross
Than still be at a loss.
For health I would rather take a bitter pill,
Than eating sweet meats to be always ill." --Thomas Washbourne, 1606-1687.
Verse 67. -- From the countless throng before the throne of God and the Lamb, we may yet hear the words of the Psalmist, "Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word." There is many an one who will say, "Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth" ( John 5:17 ). One would tell you that his worldly undoing was the making of his heavenly prospects; and another that the loss of all things was the gain of All in All. There are multitudes whom God has afflicted with natural blindness that they might gain spiritual sight; and those who under bodily infirmities and diseases of divers sorts have pined and wasted away this earthly life, gladly laying hold on glory, honour, and immortality instead. --William Garrett Lewis, in "Westbourne Grove Sermons", 1872.
Verse 67. -- By affliction God separates the sin which he hates from the soul which he loves. --John Mason.
Verse 67. --
- The dangers of prosperity.
- The benefits of adversity. --G.R.
Verse 67. -- The restraining power of affliction
Verse 67,71,75. -- Affliction thrice viewed and thrice blessed. I
- Before affliction: straying.
- In affliction: learning.
- After affliction: knowing. --C.A.D.

We look forward to seeing you at the next On The Move webinar on Tuesday, February 21, when Bridget Burkhardt, manager of business development for Intelligrated's Lifecycle Support Services will discuss 7 parts best practices you can start using today. Registration is now open on our website.
New On The Move webinar to discuss best practices for managing spare parts in the DC
Keeping a distribution center running at full capacity requires having access to the right parts at the right time. Even though 50 percent of the average maintenance, repair and operations budget is spent on spare parts, many DCs either don't have the correct spare parts onsite or are unable to find these parts when they're needed most - during planned maintenance, or worse, an unexpected outage that's cutting into DC productivity.
But many best practices, if followed, can help avoid such pitfalls and maintain DC uptime objectives.
In our next On The Move webinar, titled, "7 parts best practices you can start using today," Bridget Burkhardt, Intelligrated's lifecycle support services business development manager for parts, will discuss these best practices in detail. As a full-service equipment manufacturer of automated material handling solutions, Intelligrated has extensive experience helping clients employ effective spare parts management programs.
This informative webinar will take place on Tuesday, February 21 at 2 p.m. EST / 11 a.m. PST. By attending this webinar, attendees will learn about the following topics:
- CMMS / EAMS - Computerized maintenance management systems / enterprise asset management systems are critical to automating maintenance operations and keeping track of spare parts requirements
- Spare parts lists - Recommended spare parts lists from OEMs help DC managers stock the right parts to avoid unplanned downtime and quickly replenish parts after use
- Budgeting - It's important to develop realistic budgeting models based on the age of the equipment in your DC and prioritization of critical parts
- Parts cages - Every spare parts management program must include organization strategies and processes to check parts in and out of inventory
- Inventory processes - Know when it's time to re-order a part and have the safeguards in place to identify when a part is out of stock
- Value-added vendor - There are many advantages to using a value-added vendor, from ease of ordering and same-day shipping to technical support and obsolescence planning
- Training of maintenance staff - Ongoing training is imperative to ensuring adherence to processes and staff participation in improvement of these activities
Register now to join Bridget Burkhardt on Tuesday, February 21 at 2 p.m. EST / 11 a.m. PST for an important discussion on spare parts management.
Making automation decisions? On The Move webinar sorts it out
Warehouse operations depend on varying degrees of automation to maintain process efficiencies. Getting product out the door and into customers' hands requires the predictable execution of repetitive tasks - from picking, putting and sorting to shipping, receiving and storage. Even slight deviations from standard processes can put customer serivce levels at risk. And while many operators know that automation will help them avoid these pitfalls, they are unsure about which automation solution is best suited for their business.
In Intelligrated's recent On The Move webinar, titled "Sort it out! Making smart sortation automation decisions," I discussed the full range of sortation automation solutions available for modern distribution and fulfillment operations. Making the move to automation is a difficult decision, requiring careful evaluation of all variables, including:
- Pick density - how closely things are stored together
- Peak to average order volumes
- Number of SKUs, unit movement, orders across SKUs
- Conveyability of product - liquids, fragile, eaches, full cartons
- Customer service levels and delivery commitments
- Orders per day
- The cost and accessibility of labor
- Product volume
- Expected future growth of the company
- CAPEX budget requirements
- ROI expectations
While these are all important factors, order volume is often the first thing operators consider when selecting a sortation automation solution. Unfortunately, there is no cookie cutter equation to help operators select equipment purely based on order volume. Their expectations, key performance indicators and business requirements - now and in the future - are equally important factors.
It's the marriage of people, processes and equipment/automation that drives the automation decisions and solutions required. The investment in automation should provide long-term capacity, including the scalability to grow and adapt to changing requirements. Only then can operators ensure a return on their automation investment.
To help demonstrate the options available to today's DC operators, the webinar presented automation options from entry-level, manual types to sophisticated sortation and conveyance systems. For e-commerce retailers who must sort 25,000 items per hour to fill up to 150,000 orders per day, a state-of-the-art, tilt-tray conveyor and sortation solution is required. But for mail order or catalog companies, voice, GoKart and pick-to-light picking technologies may be just what they need to increase throughput and reduce errors.
To determine which sortation and automation solution is suitable for your operation, please visit our On The Move webinar archives and view this session in its entirety.
Picking the right pieces for a successful palletizing solution
From cosmetics and apparel to food and beverage, palletizing plays a critical role for material handling operations in virtually every industry. But as operations look to ditch the high employee turnover and injury risk of manual palletizing for the speed and reliability of automation, they meet a new challenge. With so many choices - conventional automated machines, robotics, hybrid solutions - how can they pick the right palletizing equipment for their needs?
Get the right help
Once operations know their current and projected requirements, they need a proven partner with the palletizing expertise to find the right solution. Look for experience, third-party certifications and aftermarket support to ensure ongoing performance decades after installation.
Through its Alvey® equipment brand, Intelligrated draws from more than 60 years of palletizing experience. This offers end-users a thorough product line with choices tailored for different speeds, packaging types, infeed configurations and other requirements.
For newer technology like robotics, certification programs from trade associations help customers identify partners with the necessary expertise. After completing a comprehensive audit by demonstrating the ability to execute robotic palletizer projects in a safe, efficient and economical manner, companies can receive accreditation as a RIA-certified robotics integrator.
The best bet to keep mission-critical palletizing systems running at peak efficiency is a preventive maintenance program designed to head off any issues before they cause disruption. Just in case an issue does arise, look for 24X7 technical support and regionally-based technicians ready to respond in the event of an outage. Working with an OEM lifecycle management group and a computerized maintenance management system offers data-driven preventive maintenance programs and quick-response service.
Right tool for the job
Today's palletizing operations are subject to a variety of forces that present unique palletizing challenges. SKU proliferation means an increase in the variety of packaging types and sizes. As retail supply chains become leaner, more and more work is pushed upstream to the distribution center. For example, some operations also produce specially-arranged pallet loads used for end-of-aisle displays. Though they reduce time spent stocking and arranging store shelves, these pallet loads require that products be palletized in specialized "labels out" configurations. And of course, there's speed. High-performance supply chains cannot afford insufficient capacity to meet demand and missed shipments.
Of all the palletizing solutions available, what are the strengths of each technology? What operations are they best suited for?
Automated palletizers - Conventional automated palletizers are reliable, high-throughput powerhouses with superior package handling, pattern forming and reliability. A variety of case infeed, pallet feed and load discharge configurations are available to accommodate different layout requirements. These are often good choices for food and beverage operations that need to keep pallet loads flowing to wholesalers, grocers and other high-volume retailers. Some high-speed models can achieve throughput rates of up to 220 cases per minute.
Robotic palletizing - These systems use a robotic arm, integrated with end-of-arm tooling to pick product from infeed conveyor and place it onto pallets. End-of-arm tooling includes clamps, vacuum tooling, forks and other styles, even configurations capable of handling entire layers. Robotic solutions offer maximum pattern and product flexibility with fast, easy reconfiguration. For this reason, they make good choices for use in distribution centers or manufacturing operations with a variety of product, packaging types and sizes to meet more complex downstream demand.
Hybrid palletizers - Hybrid machines combine a conventional automated palletizer with a robotic arm to offer gentle product handling and precise, repeatable pattern forming at high speeds. This makes them ideal for industries with small or lightweight packaging and a high number of complex patterns. As more industries adopt reduced packaging in efforts to reduce costs and bolster sustainability efforts, the precision and soft handling of hybrid palletizers offers an effective choice for stability and throughput.
For more information on how industry forces affect palletizing, read the Intelligrated blog, Six key considerations when choosing a palletizing strategy.
A high-throughput solution for e-commerce operations
The holiday season has come and gone, and early returns pointed to prosperity. But this also meant increased challenges for e-commerce fulfillment operations.
The National Retail Federation predicted an online sales increase between 7 and 10 percent this holiday season, and that 56.5 percent of holiday shopping would occur online. Now more than ever, holiday shoppers consider shipping as a factor when choosing retailers, and it all happens in crunch time, primarily between November and December.
Applications for peak season and beyond
Goods-to-operator (GTO) order fulfillment is a workflow that relies on automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) to retrieve product in preparation for picking processes.
This system allows facilities to house higher storage volumes and handle them with increased efficiency. This effectively raises fulfillment capacity, offering a solution for operations with 250 orders per hour or more. With enough space, shuttle-based GTO systems can scale up to handle increased volumes as operations grow.
Part of this scalability comes from individual GTO stations that can be activated or left offline based on demand. So for example, an e-commerce operation could scale higher for more orders during the holiday peak, but then scale back once the rush is over.
Resilient and flexible
Using shuttles as the AS/RS technology for a GTO system offers resiliency and reduced risk of unplanned downtime. If a shuttle goes down, the whole system is not in jeopardy because another shuttle can assume the workload.
Flexible configurations can accommodate a variety of workflows such as batch picking, discrete picking and even picking from both ends of the shuttle system.
From seasonal peaks to sustained demand increases, this flexibility allows operations to adopt the most efficient workflows to meet throughput requirements.

This painting scene of a solitary, old red barn, in a summer landscape, is from my imagination. In this piece, I wanted to portray the feeling of wide, flat open space and quiet, just before a storm, that can be found in the American Heartland. I paint what I see around me and love old barns, and feel lucky to live on an old farmstead with our barn still standing. I paint in a series of many layers, to create my original, country landscape paintings. The gallery wrapped, sides of this 3/4 inch deep, stretched canvas are have the painting continued around the sides, and this piece comes wired and ready to hang!
