Trekking in Kashmir has always been a worry in trekkers' minds. We receive a lot of calls from trekkers before they sign up for the Kashmir Great Lakes or the Tarsar Marsar trek, asking about the situation there. But as troubled a the state might seem, it is relatively safe to trek in the Kashmir valley, as long as you're cautious and know where to go. In this video, Arjun Majumdar and Swathi Chatrapathy discuss the current situation in Kashmir and Arjun hands out quick tips to trekkers planning to trek in Kashmir.
Is it safe to trek in Kashmir?

text: This thesis deals with the creation of a semi-active sound absorbing system. The main part of the system is an electrodynamic loudspeaker, which function as an absorber. In this project my aim is to discover the abilities, and the possibilities of the absorbtion ont he diaphragm. Further aim is to examine the effect of the electrical load on the absorbtion parameters, such as the resonance frequency, the bandwidth and the absorbtion value. If the examination gives the result that the parameters are effectively controlable, it gives the opportunity to adjust the acoustic parameters of a room with this narrow bandwidth semi-active absorber. As we stated above, the electrodynamic loudspeaker is the most important part of the sound absorbtion system. The diaphragm of the loudspeaker works as a resonator, which can absorb sound near the resonance frequency formed by its mechanical elements. During the examination the loudspeaker at the end of a waveguide as a termination, and the absorbtion properties are calculated, by simulating and measuring the resulting reflexion in he tube. The steps of the simulating and measuring method are presented in this thesis, as well as calibrating and standardizing methods in order to achive the required measuring accuracy.

Will 2050 Be the Same? Will Smartphone Remain Our Best Friend?
One of the first attemps (2014 maybe) to make something interesting with Photoshop failed… But anyway, I just wanted to show how we're hooked on our smartphones and how hard to be "Unplugged" nowdays.
So, do really smartphones owns our lives? Are we slaves, who can't do anything against this powerful and almighty — Smartphone? What do you think?

Enid, OK - Nolan Ruff usually waits till about the fifth or sixth inning to start getting warmed up to go into relief for a game. Today, Mesa Head Coach Tony Cirelli called on the sophomore right-hander to be his starting pitcher and did Ruff ever show up to pitch.
Ruff earned a complete game victory, the third complete game a Mesa pitcher has thrown in this 2019 World Series tournament. Ruff threw nine innings, allowed 11 hits, four runs, one earned run, struck out nine while throwing two walks. For Ruff, this was only his second appearance during the entirety of the 2019 playoffs for Mesa, with his only other appearance coming in the second Gateway game on May 10th. He only threw one pitch, getting the opponent to pop out for the third out of the inning.
Connor Denning took the third pitch of the ballgame to left center field for a solo homer. Denning went 4-5 on the afternoon with a homer, double, two RBI's and two runs scored.
Mesa fell behind in the second inning but a big seventh inning propelled the Birds ahead for good. With two runners on base, Connor Denning singled home Cade Maestas, who reached base with a double.
With Zach Wagner and Denning on base, Paul Steffensen roped a triple down the left field line, scoring Wagner and Denning, pushing Mesa's lead to 5-3.
Taylor Darden then hit a sacrifice fly to right field, scoring Steffensen, pushing Mesa's lead to 6-3. After Luke Patty reached base on an error and Greg Student walked, Josh Leslie collected his second hit of the inning with a single to center field scoring Patty.
The five run inning solidified Mesa's final runs and also solidified its place in the championship game.
Mesa will now face the winner of the Northern Oklahoma College-Enid, Pasco-Hernando game in the title game which will be a one game take all on Friday night at 7 pm CT.

Have you trained yourself in the master artwork of crafting fine marijuana joints? I'll never forget my early days of smoking marijuana. Back before recreational legalization, I was pretty much used to smoking whatever I could get. Often this marijuana was, how shall I put this, total crap. You could go through the arduous task of removing all the stems and seeds from this brick weed but the easier choice was just to grind it all up and tossed it inside a joint. At the time, my joints were very rudimentary, nothing more than a standard pinner with no added accoutrements. A good joint then consisted of a piece of paper rolled up with some ground weed and then gently twisted on both ends. these prehistoric style joints were the fare I would partake in back in my days of three in the morning tacos. Joint technology has evolved a fair spell since then. I know that even back in the day some industrious stoners were crafting elegant joints to smoke from I had to wait until the joint making was in someone else's hands. Cones have made this job easier, but there is still an art form to it and not all joints are created equal. The Flower Collective Bubble Joints, for example, take your old favorite of a joint and add the extra special ingredients of freshly produced bubble hash. When you're spiking your joints with fresh bubble hash you're going to have a good joint and you're going to have a good time.
If you want to pick up one The Flower Collective Bubble Joints for yourself, they're available at Chronic Therapy in Wheat Ridge, Colorado. Chronic therapy Specializes in artfully grown cannabis while providing a bounty of third-party products like The Flower Collective Bubble Joints.
The Flower Collective Bubble Joints:
I'll start by mentioning a cool feature of The Flower Collective Bubble Joints. Not only is every joint loaded with bubble hash, but they come in sativa, indica, and hybrid varieties that are each produced from a strain-specific source. In the case of my sativa Bubble Joint, the highlight strain was Goji OG. So even if you're more of an evening time joint smoker you can enjoy an indica joint, or if you know you're going to be out and about you can toke down a sativa Bubble Joint. The first thing I noticed when I started to handle the dram tubes of Bubble Joints was just how cool The Flower Collective's artwork on the outside of the joint was. Produced in Nederland, Colorado, The Flower Collective's dram containers are a miniature work of artistic potpourri showing clip-art-style renditions of images that are part of Nederland's history and culture. Looking for more of a daytime experience, I decided to enjoy the sativa version of the Bubble Joint first. On initial inspection, The Flower Collective Bubble Joints look like a standard Raw cone joint. Going off a recommendation from Chronic Therapy, I first took the joint out and took a few dry puffs on it. A very worthy evaluation of the goodness inside. The terpene character that I inhaled, even through an unlit joint, was phenomenal. Not only was a cannabis used in this joint top quality, but the hash inside it was produced in a manner that all its terpy goodness lasted. This is quite a feat since ice water hash production freezes plants and uses a centrifugal force process to extract the final product. This ends up being pretty harsh on the proteins responsible for flavor, but The Flower Collective has done an exemplary job maintaining flavors. This can be accredited to "Science, yo," as stated on their packaging. Science indeed! A few more sweet, dry puffs and I was ready to, hell, more than ready to try the real thing.
The Flower Collective Bubble Joints :: Smoke | Effect:
After surgically removing the twist of paper at the end of the Bubble Joint, I started the torch up the tip and begin the process. I always make sure to burn the tip evenly and start out with some very small puffs. Too many times have my friends and I fell victim to a running joint. If you don't know what I mean by that, I'm not talking about the joint physically running away (a horrifying concept) but burning unevenly through the paper and running up one side of the joint prematurely. If you treat your joints well and avoid inhaling too deeply you can avoid running in almost any joint that's properly packed (patience is key). The first few puffs of my Bubble Joint was just as the dry run had led me to believe it would be. The prevailing notes were sweet and floral with a little bit of something else in there as well. It's also worth noting, The Flower Collective Bubble Joints are an incredibly smooth smoke (especially for a joint with concentrates in it). I couldn't yet speak for how harsh joint might end up being by the time you got to the bottom, but I can tell you the top was smooth as silk. As I slowly puffed away at the joint (knowing full well I'd be stopping before the halfway point since I was going solo) I noticed the inherently rich earthy notes that I could only assume were hash. In a joint like this, there is no creeping high. It kicks in quick. By the time I reached my stopping point I was already feeling downright dandy. The Flower Collective's Goji OG loaded sativa joint was just what it needed to be. Fueled by a sativa sensation and trapped inside the house due to relatively frigid temperatures I was left aimlessly roaming cleaning things that didn't really need to be cleaned. I found myself in this waltz of inefficiency for nearly another 45 minutes (I sure did clean up that junk drawer though).
What more can I say about such a great infused joint? When a company like The Flower Collective can so gracefully pack concentrates into joint, and at a reasonable retail price of $15, I'm impressed. While I don't know much about their grow I can only assume, having smoked the end product, they know what they're doing with their crops and they also know how to make some real mean hash to boot. It's also worth noting The Flower Collective Bubble Joints are best shared. I know at least I personally am not capable of smoking an entire hash-loaded joint by myself, but I'm sure there's some weedy savant out there that can. For standard cannabis users though, grab a friend for this one. Spark up that joint, avoid the runs, gather your friends, and learn to hate my crappy rhymes and puns!

Recycling Day 2018
We had another very successful Recycling Day at The Octagon on Saturday 20th January 2018. This year we added an extra category of salvage for the Purple Community Fund. They need men's ties and leather or canvas belts for their upcycling projects. Here are some photos taken by Steve Bull giving a flavour of the day's activities. More details will follow when the mountain of donations has been sorted and dispatched to their various destinations. Our thanks go to the staff and management at The Octagon in Burton, Radio Derby and the Burton Mail for their help and support with this event.

When several people visualize a knowledge centre, they normally visualize a large warehouse-type developing, set at an actual temperature and filled with racks upon racks of servers virtual data room review 2019 . This is certainly one particular variety of data heart, and it's a very popular alternative for smaller to large business owners. But it truly is nevertheless just one type of knowledge heart and in fact, people exact business owners can create their very own info facilities and manage them on their own personal. The just one you select will depend upon what you're seeking for, and how major of a job you need to engage in during the storage of your respective servers.
A data heart is any place which is reserved for and devoted to the storage of the firm's IT infrastructure that supports their business enterprise – equally online, and off in several situations. This infrastructure includes not merely world-wide-web servers, and also the products that operates application software package which procedures and suppliers information. Some corporations may well discover that they only have to have a single server cage, though organizations with a great deal more data to retailer might need an assortment of racks, cabinets, and diverse modules to help make their place get the job done. In any case, any sort of facts must be an especially managed surroundings.
Info facilities really need to always be stored in a specific temperature and humidity, to ensure that the servers and techniques will generally function and execute at their fullest capability. Moreover to just retaining the bodily setting at ideal conditions, info facilities also need to have a incredible volume of electricity driving them. Not merely have they got to own really responsible electricity techniques in position, and capable of jogging the tools 24 hrs on a daily basis, seven days a week, but in addition backup devices that can kick in really should the original devices at any time fall short.
Because of the crucial and highly effective mother nature of the two the information and tools saved in knowledge facilities, in addition they need to hold the most superior security systems set into put. For details this involves items such as the most up-to-date firewalls, by far the most stringent virus defense, and standard backup of all the knowledge on all the servers. Stability steps set into spot to guard the particular devices involve items such as smoke and fireplace alarms, along with alarms for the area or constructing.
When organizations do not have an excessive amount tools or too many servers to keep, and every time they contain the suitable space to complete so, generating and keeping their unique center can be a cost-effective option that really gives them entire management. Nevertheless as a result of enough time that retaining this machines requires, plus the expense which will be expected to set the space up to begin with, quite a few companies uncover it simpler to outsource their heart requirements. When performing either, it's important that you have just the most well-informed and knowledgeable IT team preserving the house for yourself.

Arcadia's Irish losses widen to €2.2m in 'difficult' market
Losses at the Irish arm of Philip Green's Arcadia fashion empire jumped to £1.7m (€2.2m) last year from £762,000 a year earlier, as it incurred an exceptional charge related to lease provisions, newly-filed accounts for the business show.
The company said it's aware that customers continue to face "testing times" because of economic conditions. Revenue at the unit, which operates chains under the Dorothy Perkins, Evans and Burton brands, fell to £17.6m (€22.3m) in the 12 months to the end of August last year, from £19.5m the year before.
"During the year, turnover declined 10pc as all brands found trading conditions in Ireland extremely difficult," said the directors of the Irish firm. "To counteract this decline in performance, the company sought to reduce costs wherever possible."
The accounts show that the company employed an average of 360 people at the end of last August, compared to 385 at the end of August 2014. Its staff costs fell to £4.6m from £5.4m.
"The current retail environment is very challenging as competitors seek to attract value-conscious customers using a variety of routes to market," the directors added.
The company said that it incurred a £726,000 exceptional charge related to the movement on a provision against the future leasing obligations of the company's loss-making stores.
In the year to the end of August 2015, the Arcadia group reported an operating profit of £251.6m (€319m). It also owns brands such as Topshop, Miss Selfridge, and Wallis. Its sales were flat at just over £2bn.
The group formed a 50-50 joint venture with pop singer Beyonce to produce a "global athletic streetwear brand" called Ivy Park. The range has just been launched. Mr Green and Beyonce have known each other for over 10 years since she sang at the Bar Mitzvah of the retail billionaire's son.

It's a wonderful gift you're giving them, just wonderful!!
on the case of little Fidalgo Island crabs running sideways-amok for dear life
We spent most of the day on the Whulge with the boys, tucked away in a secluded cove which is known only to our family as Little Crab Beach. Getting there requires a mildly tangled bushwhack through tall brush that is not advisable for those who protest too awfully loud upon being flogged about the face and body by errant branches or pierced with tiny thorns and thistles. But after all, it's a small price to pay for real solitude so close to Puget Sound City.
I taught Adam how to lasso with kelp: He practiced tying Oliver Fern up, which is as tricky as it sounds. Grandma finally goaded me into skipping rocks with her and I sent a hand-sized triangle of basalt skittering halfway across Lottie Bay, it was by far the furthest I've ever skipped a rock. The boys explored for little shore crabs (they were careful to hide them back under the rocks so gulls wouldn't eat them) although Oliver refused to actually touch even the tiniest babies as the little pincers gave him an unusual case of the crustacean creeps. Before leaving for the day, we climbed to the top of Reservation Head to admire blue-green views to Rosario Head, the San Juan Islands and a broad profile of the Olympic Mountain range.

I got out on the Elizabeth River for (possibly) the last sail of the year today. It started out cloudy and foggy but quickly cleared to clear blue skies. Wind was moderate to light, but no complaints here. Just fun to be out on the water in 70 degree weather in mid-November. I know everybody must be tired of seeing this shot looking out from Spartina over the Elizabeth River, but I never get tired of seeing (and shooting) it. So no apologies here.While I was out I was thinking it was a day for small boats on the river. There were some snow bird boats heading south, but otherwise very few local big boats out on the water. Maybe they were winterized already. Most of the local sailboats on the water were small boats. The catboat I mentioned last week was out there, he was motoring downriver towards the James River where he does most of his sailing. And I also saw a Melonseed Skiff that I have come across before. As usual I don't know the owners name but we wave and say hello. It is a great little boat that he sails out of the western branch of the Elizabeth River. I think the boat is called Ruddy Duck. It is fun to be out there sailing with a classic looking boat like that.
There is a drawing of a Melonseed Skiff below. The classic plans for the boat were drawn by Howard Chapelle. It's a gunning skiff designed for hunting waterfowl. I believe Rubber Ducky was built by Roger Crawford, it is a beautiful looking boat. He builds a fiberglass hull and then will fit it out with whatever wood trim the owner might want.
So I get home from a nice day on the water and get an email from Barry (below). He sent a nice note about this blog (thanks Barry) and mentioned that we had met briefly at the Mid-Atlantic Small Craft Festival courtesy of our mutual friend Kevin. Barry says it was an awkward, brief meeting (which I can believe - I'm a social misfit and most meetings for me are awkward).
I checked out Barry's blog and he is building - of all things - a Melonseed skiff. In fact I think he is building two of them. Neat! This looks like beautiful work and I can certainly see how these boats will fit right in with all the art work floating on the water at the Small Craft Festival. We had just a brief meeting in St. Michaels but I do wish we had more time to visit.
It was a nice coincidence to see a Melonseed on the water this afternoon and then hear from a Melonseed builder this evening. Barry says he has plans to sail in some of my sailing areas. I'll look forward to seeing his boats on the water someday.

Currently, in Gaziantep, we have re-established a rehab Centre for the Syrian Refugees, the rehab center houses over 70 people. Fifty beds are for patients, and 20 beds are for parental care, out of the 50 there are 30 women and children, some are orphans with their guardians. The 20 left is male, the majority of the people there have been wounded in the conflict in Syria, disabled or terminally ill. The Turkish government has given the authorisation for the people to come to Turkey but because their families are based in Syria and the hospital cannot take all the patients due to the influx of people from the war. A rehab Centre has been established to help house people while going through their treatment. At the rehab Centre they get three meals a day, physiotherapist are on hand, and they have people to drive them to and from the hospital, there are also translators.
We are looking for sponsors to open their heart, minds and help support the Rehab Centre all year round, now is your opportunity to make a difference and help people most in need.

Tucked away in central Ohio, Woodstock is a small village of about 300 residents. Covering only a third of a square mile, Woodstock is a very small community with limited dog-friendly amenities. However, there are fifteen veterinarians available within a twenty-minute drive of town, so it's a very safe area for pups.
One of the closest dog-friendly activities is the Bark Park in Marysville, just twenty minutes northeast of Woodstock. This top-rated dog park is a full four acres of fenced-in play area; there are even separate sections for dogs of different activity levels. Complete with benches, a washing station, lots of parking, and a paved walking path, this quaint park is a pooch's dream come true. Also in Marysville is a Chipotle Mexican Grill, a Starbucks, and a Whit's Frozen Custard -- all restaurants that welcome pups on their outdoor patios.
Another popular dog park is Prairie Oaks Metro Park, just thirty miles southeast in Delaware, OH. This dog beach is a great option if you've got a water-lover on your hands. Leashed pups are welcome on nearly all of the trails, and there's even an off-leash play area near the lake.
Pup moms and dads can also bring their babies to Glacier Ridge Metro Park, which is twenty-five miles east in Plain City. This well-kept park boasts trails, public restrooms, dog-friendly drinking fountains, and covered picnic areas.

A new ceramic-composite material that can withstand high temperatures and
constant exposure to moisture could provide an economical way to unlock
America's vast oil-shale deposits.
U.S. oil-shale resources hold three times as much crude oil as the whole of Saudi Arabia. But unlike with the gushing fields of the Middle East, extracting oil from shale is like trying to squeeze juice out of frozen lemons. Traditionally, the shale has been surface mined like coal and heated until an oil-like substance called kerogen turns to liquid and oozes out. But this is an expensive, energy-hungry, and carbon-intensive approach that, like much of the extraction happening in Canada's controversial oil sands, is also devastating to the local environment. More recently, companies such as Royal Dutch Shell have developed ways to tap the oil in situ, by drilling boreholes that are thousands of feet deep and feeding into them inch-thick cables that are heated using electrical resistance and that literally cook the surrounding rock. The
kerogen liquefies and gradually pools around an extraction well, where the oil-like fluid can easily be pumped to the surface.
The process involves no mining, uses less water than other approaches, and doesn't leave behind man-made mountains of kerogen-sapped shale. And according to a Rand Corporation study, it can also be done at a third of the cost of mining and surface processing. One technical hitch, however, lies with the heater cable employed. The most common cables used today are insulated with a layer of magnesium oxide, which can deform, degrade, and ultimately short out over time under intense heat, constant exposure to moisture, and the occasional shifting of rock at great depths. Replacement and maintenance can be costly.

Although they build out multi-platform advertising approaches, university CMOs are also tasked with beating the competitors. McGraw-Hill Education partnered with Converge to launch back to college campaigns for two digital goods: LearnSmart and SmartBook. As a result, marketing and recruitment campaigns have noticed a shift from broadcasting to narrowcasting. Using a new analytical investigation approach, Art & Science pioneers the 1st tuition pricing study in greater education for RPI. Hundreds of vice presidents, deans, department chairs, faculty, and other emerging leaders have participated in the ACE Fellows Program, the nation's premier larger education leadership improvement system in preparing senior leaders to serve American colleges and universities.
The end of summer season usually marks the time to gear up for the yellow college buses lining the streets and nearby town targeted traffic clogging the roads at 7:00 AM and once again at two:00-three:00 PM. Naturally, our minds are programed to connect education with September. It can take the form of a marketing channel, an engagement tool, and service recovery or crisis management vehicle.
Alternatively, you can also get your degree on-line with one of the several schools that offer on the internet career education for teaching. Most often, the minimum education level for finance career is regarded as to be a bachelor degree, but an advance degree in finance such as a master degree and Ph.D will equip you with professional credentials to move your finance career to a larger level.
Operating at a digital marketing agency , my colleagues and I are constantly seeking for interesting opportunities by way of social media. The reality is that it is impossible to introduce a genuine economic market place in larger education – one driven by the profit motive, open contestability of provision, bankruptcy sanctions, cost-free consumer shopping" and option, allocative efficiency and the struggle to maximise market place share – without vaporising much of the item itself. Boost your digital and inbound marketing savvy with videos, webinars, and blogs on what is new and subsequent in greater education.
Across several schools and degree programs, our challenge was to drive admissions for a bigger and higher caliber group of potential students and leaders. Whilst related in appearance to classic image, awareness and student satisfaction studies, Customer Worth Analysis provides far much more accurate and useable data for brand evaluation, strategic arranging, marketing and positioning purposes.

|RDJ is the highest paid actor in Hollywood
In Hollywood, salary is all about power and influence; how much an actor/actress is paid reflects their box-office potential and how much interest they generate in a movie. As a result, Forbes' Magazine's annual list of highest paid actors is a great way to gauge who has the power in Tinseltown in the last twelve months...
Now, as you would expect, there are some really obvious inclusions on the list (listed in full at the bottom of the page). For starters, it is no surprise to me that Robert Downey Jnr. tops this list with a gigantic $75 million in earnings across the last twelve months.
Star turns in Marvel powerhouse's The Avengers (which raked in $1.5 billion) and Iron Man 3 (which has also exceeded $1 billion) has meant RDJ is one of the most bankable stars out right now.
|Tom Cruise has earned $35 million between
Rock of Ages, Jack Reacher and Oblivion
Also, with 2013 being the "Year of the Rock", it is no surprise that Dwayne Johnson is ranked pretty high with $46 million - in the last 12 months, The Rock has been in Fast and Furious 6, Pain and Gain, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Snitch, Empire State and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island.
Also, Mark Wahlberg has been hard at work this last year (Contraband, Ted, Pain and Gain, Broken City and 2 Guns) and the result is $52 million, making him the 4th highest-placed actor in Hollywood.
There are some inclusions that really surprised me; Channing Tatum being placed so high-up on the list was a surprise but the guy has been in a lot recently and made a lot of money off of Magic Mike after partly financing it himself. On the flipside, Adam Sandler being paid $37 million a year to churn out shite like That's My Boy and Grown Ups 2 is a bit insulting to the rest of the guys on this list. Or is that just me?
Forbes Highest Paid Actors June 2012-2013
- Robert Downey Jnr. - $75 million
- Channing Tatum - $60 million
- Hugh Jackman - $55 million
- Mark Wahlberg - $52 million
- Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson - $46 million
- Leonardo DiCaprio - $39 million
- Adam Sandler - $37 million
- Tom Cruise - $35 million
- Denzel Washington - $33 million
- Liam Neeson - $32 million
For me, I'm surprised Daniel Craig and Bruce Willis aren't on this list after the success of Skyfall and Looper respectively. I'd also be really interested to see which actresses top their respective list; I'd wager it'd be someone like Kristen 'bored face' Stewart.
Check out the full list and let me know what you think; who do you think should be higher or lower on this list? Let me know in the comments section below!

Events serve many important functions when it comes to business. Trade shows produce leads, marketing events increase awareness and educational seminars ensure your team stays competitive. It's easy to justify the time and financial resources these events require. However, many tend to overlook the crucial return on investment that an internal event or party can provide.
"Human beings have an innate inner drive to be … connected to one another. And when that drive is liberated, people achieve more."1 – Daniel H. Pink
- Events strengthen social bonds between employees
In order to enhance your company's morale, it is imperative that you build a strong level of camaraderie among your employees. Hosting events to celebrate your employees gives them a chance to get to bond outside of the office. Face-to-face interactions at events are more powerful than any email will ever be, which makes them irreplaceable.
- Events improve employee retention and job satisfaction
Human beings are programmed to enhance their work ethic and productivity when they feel appreciated. According to one Bersin & Associates study "companies who actively work toward a recognition-rich culture had a 31% lower employee turnover rate." 2
Events, whether big or small are a great way to recognize employee achievement, make them feel valued, motivate them towards the future and make them want to stick around.
- Top teams celebrate their successes
Events are a great way to mark and celebrate milestones. A company that throws a party because they reached all their sales goals for a certain number of consecutive years not only shows appreciation for its employees' work, but also gives them a sense of belonging within a thriving company. This will increase employee dedication and confidence in the stability of their job and inspire them to work diligently towards the company's next goal.
- Events provide platform to reinforce corporate culture
The way we celebrate says a lot about us and company events are the perfect platform to define and reinforce your company's desired personality. If your organization prides itself on equality and open door policies, ditch the VIP-only areas at your event in favor of spaces and activities which encourage interaction between employees of all levels. Want to nurture a creative, playful culture? Incorporate hands-on art installations and nostalgic games into your events.
- Events can restore morale
Research emphasizes the importance of, "gathering together when times are tough. Otherwise, people disintegrate and pull apart."3 Tumultuous times may seem like the wrong time for a company to spend money on an event – however the investment can be worthwhile. Consider bringing everyone together to share your plan for getting back on track, remind everyone what they are working towards, and inspire employees to turn things around – as a team.
"When people have hope for the future they will have power in the present." 4 – Jill Blashack Strahan
As the premier event planning company, we produce the coolest parties on the planet that delight, inspire and engage guests. We do it by understanding our clients' culture, brand and objectives.
Need help crafting an amazing event that aligns with your culture and supports your business goals?

Our objective is to help innovators realize their full potential in the global market by empowering them with the tools necessary to be successful.Breakthrough technologies in a range of areas will soon be playing an important role in solving the globes most challenging issues. Energy could be provided to entire communities by use of new generation solar panels and batteries and the use of artificial intelligence that is "socially aware".Though critical to solving many issues around the world, technology is not without its share of social and economic risk. It is crucial that shared protocols and norms are developed to ensure these new technologies contribute to a sustainable and prosperous future while serving humanity.Some of the most promising emerging products and technologies are listed below:The Internet of Nano Things and Nano SensorsIt has been projected that the Internet of Things will connect over 30 billion devices by 2020. Nano Sensors are among the most exciting areas of focus in this arena today. They can be embedded in building materials or even circulated throughout the human body. Once connected by the Internet of Things, our future will be profoundly affected, forever changing medicine, drug manufacturing, agriculture, and even architecture.Next Generation BatteriesEnergy storage has been the greatest hindrance when it comes to renewable energy, making keeping up with demand a real challenge. Recent advances include zinc and aluminum based batteries, and the use of sodium has made mini-grids possible. These mini-grids can produce reliable, clean, and around the clock energy for entire communities.Organs-on-chipsBy miniaturizing models of human organs to about the size of a thumb drive researchers will be able to study behaviors of biological mechanisms in ways not previously possible. The findings could revolutionize the drug discovery and medical research.Perovskite Solar CellsMade of a new photovoltaic material, these solar cells offer 3 groundbreaking improvements over the current silicon solar cell: they can be used nearly anywhere, they are easier to make, and they continue to generate more power with greater efficiency.Open AI EcosystemWe are on the cusp of being able to access an unprecedented amount of data. This significant increase in access to data in combination with shared advances in social awareness, algorithms, natural language processing, and smart digital assistants will soon be able to help with an inordinate array of tasks. These tasks may range from tracking ones health and finances to advice on dressing or diet.Opt GeneticsWe have been able to monitor and record brain activity with use of color and light; however, recent advancements allow light to be delivered much deeper into brain tissue. This may very well lead to enhanced treatment for those with brain disorders.
