Ok, so today was totally not my birthday. This is just a picture taken of me on my actual birthday, and I decided to post it just because today felt a little like my birthday. I worked at my per diem job half a day. That's right, half a day. As in, from 8 to noon. That alone is pretty birthday-esque. Actually I take the whole day off on my birthday if it falls on a weekday. But still, its pretty nice to leave everyone else to their lunches and the whole rest of the day as you don your coat and waltz down the hall thinking, "suckas!!!" I got to eat lunch at home. Rather, my parent's house. I relinquished my apartment almost a month ago, concurrent with the end of my contract at my old job, knowing I was getting ready to make a transition of some kind. Homeless, jobless, living with my parents, maybe this doesn't sound like such a remarkable unbirthday after all. Bear with me. After packing up my car for my big adventure (leaving friends and family to move 2,000 miles away to a place where you know almost no one sounds so much better when you call it an adventure!), my mom let me borrow her brand-new cherry red Prius (what a sweet car!!!) and I went to Coiffurium to see Erin for what might be the very last time:( She washed, cut, and blew out my hair. I LOVE it when she washes my hair and I rarely take the time to blow dry it straight (the above pic is an exception. As I said, it was taken on my birthday, which is obviously a special occasion). Then I took myself and and my perfect, shiny, straight, glamorous hair across the street to CitiNails for a manicure and a pedicure. As the young woman pumiced my feet and rubbed the sweetest smelling lotion into my calves, I made a mental note: I would not have extra money for these occassional treats if I ever go back to school. I am a little sad I just had dinner at home and watched Jeopardy! with my dad. Alas I will swim in the morning and ruin my hair before anyone beside me gets to appreciate it. I suppose its just as well. If you pampered yourself every day, your unbirthday wouldn't feel as special.
One thought on "Happy Unbirthday to Me!"

Well written. That was one scary experience you had. Next time, just sit at the back and yes, take the necessary information before boarding. It's just like driving in the urban jungle in Metro Manila. No matter how you try to be a defensive driver, other road users just don't mind.ReplyDelete
I remember you sharing this story to me, and I am glad you spoke up about this. I really hope people will listen and learn not to patronize rape culture. My girlfriend is a rape victim, so I strongly object such a culture espoused by offensive products and actions.ReplyDelete
Very brave to share your story. I was also shocked and horrified that this shirt was selling in the Boy's section. It seems lately that a person's purity is just thrown about without any consideration. We're teaching our kids how to be more sexy and easy rather than how to responsible and dignified. Thank you for your post. I found it inspiring and am also thinking to write something similar or along these lines to help spread awareness.ReplyDelete
The nerve of the driver! This is why I'm never confident about my girl-friends getting on a cab alone. I always tell them to text me the plate number of the cab they're getting on. Stay safe!ReplyDelete
I effing hate who ever printed that shirt and stupid sm for putting that on their racks I also have a post related to this before the rape culture and how the victim is more seen as one at fault thannthe culprit it sux!ReplyDelete
OMG! That was really scary!!!!! At times like that, you can't really think straight. And yes, not because we, girls, are wearing "comfortable" clothes doesn't mean that we are asking for it. That shirt only justifies how insensitive that department store is. I don't care what their reason behind selling that shirt but it seems to me that they are actually advertising, condoning the f*cking idea!ReplyDelete
OMG!!!! I never tried na sa front seat kasi mas abot ako ng driver kaya natatakot ako. I remember my mom's story dati, imagine 19 kopong kopong pa un ha, sa fx naman, nahipuan din siya ng katabi naman niya kaya yang rape dati pang issue di sa kasi mga babae ngayon ganito na magsuot blah blah esp. if like you , di naman talaga bastusin yung suot mo that time. And may lola nga narape eh -_- hay people...
That shirt print, super not a good joke. Whew! Doble ingat sis next time. I always bring pepper spray na with me, pero super itago mo sa malls and mrt stations kasi kino confiscate.
Your qualifier of "especially if di naman bastusin suot mo" is actually a reflection the idea of rape we should fight. That's essentially saying "bastos naman kasi suot mo,kaya ka nahipuan". Even if you are practically naked, NOBODY has the right to violate your body. That's what Gellie was saying about girls "not asking for it" whatever it is they are wearing.Delete
Never sit beside the driver. Be nice but NEVER let them think they are on the same level as you. Those bastard taxi drivers.ReplyDelete
As for the Bench Fashion Show and Coco Martin holding a girl on a leash, well... that's kind of hot IF seen in a different context. In the bedroom, and if you are into BDSM, you are conscious that it is just role play. However, showing it in a fashion show is a different matter altogether, to me showing it like that does not have appeal. It only ended up reinforcing oppressive societal views on women.ReplyDelete
Very Informative page, I hope it will be useful for all of us. Thanks for sharing it with usReplyDelete
Couldn't have said it better myself. Society is sometimes so oblivious to the rape culture messages they're giving and women are left to be victims of it.ReplyDelete

LOS ANGELES, July 29, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SIGGRAPH—NVIDIA today announced that 10 new NVIDIA RTX™ Studio laptops and professional-grade mobile workstations are being released by major partners, delivering real-time ray tracing, advanced AI and ultra-high-resolution video editing to the world's 40 million creatives.
The latest designs from Dell, HP, Lenovo and BOXX bring the number of RTX Studio models to 27 — including 17 that are now available. These laptops power more than 40 creative and design applications that have turned "RTX On," enabling tens of millions of creatives to harness ray tracing and AI in their workflows. NVIDIA RTX features are being shown at SIGGRAPH this week in software from a diverse set of independent software vendors, including Adobe, Autodesk and Blackmagic Design.
NVIDIA also announced the availability of a new NVIDIA Studio Driver, which provides optimizations for popular creative apps updating around SIGGRAPH, including OTOY Octane Render, Blender, Autodesk Arnold, Maxon Cinema 4D, Substance Painter by Adobe and Magix VEGAS Pro. The latest Studio Driver adds an often-requested feature – support for 30-bit color in OpenGL apps such as Adobe Photoshop and Premiere for all GPUs. With this feature, creators can work with their HDR photos and videos with full accuracy and without the banding typical of 24-bit color.
"RTX Studio laptops and mobile workstations are moving rapidly to the center of the creative industries," said Jason Paul, general manager of GeForce software and technology at NVIDIA. "They put real-time ray tracing, advanced AI and video editing in ultra-high resolution within easy reach of creators, delivering capabilities in a mobile form factor that once required an entire studio."
The new configurations, which range from consumer laptops with GeForce RTX™ 2060 GPUs to professional-grade mobile workstations with Quadro RTX™ 5000 graphics, include:
- Lenovo Legion™ Y740 Laptop Studio Edition features up to GeForce RTX 2080 GPUs within 17- and 15-inch laptops, available later this fall.
- Lenovo ThinkPad™ P53 and P73 mobile workstations support up to Quadro RTX 5000 GPUs within 17- and 15-inch systems. The ThinkPad P53 is available now; the ThinkPad P73 will be available starting August.
- Dell Precision 7540 and Dell Precision 7740 mobile workstations, available today, are configurable with up to Quadro RTX 5000 GPUs.
- HP ZBook 15 and 17 mobile workstations feature Quadro RTX GPUs, with the 17-inch model configurable with up to a Quadro RTX 5000.
- BOXX GoBOXX SLM mobile workstations are available with a Quadro RTX 3000 GPU in the 15-inch system and either Quadro RTX 4000 or 3000 in the 17-inch system.
"Dell Precision 7740 and 7540 mobile workstations, available with Quadro RTX GPUs, provide customers with the best possible experience when using the latest design, engineering and creative applications," said Tom Tobul, vice president of Specialty Products, Client Solutions at Dell. "In addition to workstation-grade performance, reliability and ISV certifications, professionals can now integrate advanced RTX ray-tracing and AI capabilities into their workflow, even when on the go."
"From real-time rendering to VR development and AI-enhanced video production, NVIDIA RTX Studio laptops enable creators and designers to tackle any creative workflow with amazing performance," said Carol Hess, vice president of Z by HP Products at HPI. "With Z by HP laptops, like boosted ZBook 15 and 17, our customers can carry the latest RTX capabilities with them to create their best work, whether in the field, at a client meeting or anywhere inspiration strikes."
"Based on Lenovo's customer feedback and user insights, we know our laptops are being used for daily work and heavy-duty digital content creation," said Jun Ouyang, vice president of Consumer PC Business, Intelligent Devices Group, at Lenovo. "In fact, Lenovo research reveals that graphics is ranked as one of the most critical features for high performance. That's why it was a natural fit for us to collaborate with NVIDIA, a leader in GPU technology, to launch the new Lenovo Legion Y740 Laptop Studio Edition. Featuring up to NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080 with Max-Q design, the new Lenovo Legion laptop will offer content creators powerful performance in both work and play, all in a sleek and stylish design."
"We're enormously proud to feature the NVIDIA Quadro RTX GPU in our ThinkPad P Series mobile workstations. By supporting the NVIDIA Quadro RTX 5000 card, our new ThinkPad P53 is now the most powerful 15-inch mobile workstation available," said Rob Herman, general manager of the workstation and client AI business unit at Lenovo. "The ability to support real-time ray tracing, virtual reality and artificial intelligence on a 15-inch mobile workstation is a huge step for our users who don't want to compromise mobility for top performance."
RTX Studio laptops and mobile workstations are part of the NVIDIA Studio platform, which combines RTX GPUs with the NVIDIA Studio Stack of specialized SDKs and dedicated Studio Drivers. They meet the hardware and software requirements needed to receive the new RTX Studio badge, allowing creators to easily identify the right systems to power their creative workflows.
The systems and drivers are supported with rigorous hardware and software testing for top creative applications and workflows. RTX Studio mobile workstations based on Quadro RTX GPUs provide additional enterprise-level benefits, such as ISV certifications, IT management tools and advanced video and display features.
RTX Studio systems feature GeForce RTX 2080, 2070 and 2060 GPUs, as well as Quadro RTX 5000, 4000 and 3000 GPUs. The RTX GPUs accelerate content creation from video editing to 3D rendering, with performance up to 7x faster than that of the MacBook Pro(1). Quadro RTX 5000 GPU-based models include 16GB of graphics memory, the largest available in a mobile form factor, enabling advanced multi-app creative workflows and the use of large 3D models that are otherwise not possible on the go.
Many of these laptops feature 4K precision displays and NVIDIA Max-Q technology, enabling incredible performance and longer battery life in sleek, thin-and-light designs.
RTX Studio models available now include Acer ConceptD 7, Gigabyte AERO 15 OLED and AERO 17 HDR, BOXX GoBOXX SLM 15 and 17, Dell Precision 7540 and 7740, HP ZBook 15 and 17, Lenovo ThinkPad P53, MSI P65 Creator, P75 Creator, WS65, WS75 and WE75, and Razer Blade 15 Studio Edition. Additional RTX Studio laptops are shipping later this year from Acer, ASUS, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Razer.

A Nigerian Television Authority, (NTA) Staff identified as Chukwu Odiahu has been stoned to death by unknown individuals in Kogi State.
The late Odiahu who works at the engineering department of the NTA boaster station in Okene was reportedly stoned to death on Tuesday evening after he closed from work.
Although the cause of the attack on late Odiahu is yet to be known as at the time of filing this report, DAILY POST gathered that all the staff on duty have been arrested and are currently under interrogation at the Divisional Office of the Nigeria Police Force in Okene.
A staff of NTA in Okene who spoke under anonymity confirmed the incident and also explained that:
"It is very unfortunate we all woke up this morning to see the death of one of our colleagues under the engineering department.
"When we closed transmission around 10pm on Tuesday, he left the office premises. Unfortunately this morning, (Wednesday), we discovered his corpse that he was killed with stones by some persons who we do not know.
"All the staff on duty have been arrested because they are prime suspects. The incident has been reported to the Police for investigation. Odiahu is a gentleman who is committed to his duty. He died a horrible death."

The first 21 days after an
attunement is known as the 21-day cleansing cycle. In this cycle the energy works through
one chakra each day starting at the root and ending at the crown. It does this three
separate times, each time working to release any blockages, open the chakras and energy
pathways, and cleanse out our system of toxins. This is often a very intense time where
profound healings often take place.
After the 21-day cleansing cycle is complete, the energy continues
working within our being, only not in the same manner. Just as in a session, the energy
always works to bring about that which is in the highest-good of that person. Only now it
is working on a much grander scale. It is now a part of who we are and begins to guide our
life on whatever path it should be. This again will be different for each person, for
everyone's path is unique. For some people this could bring about dramatic changes, such
as relocation, a change of employment, even the ending of a relationship. It could be the
ending of anything that is detrimental to you. For other people the changes could be much
more subtle, but either way the changes do come, and the more a part of our lives we make
the energy, the more of an effect it will have on us. It is important to realize that, for
many, the thought of such drastic changes, and for some, the thought of any changes, tends
to bring up fear. If this happens, remember that the energy works only toward what is in
our highest-good and only gives us what we can handle. If we face these changes and issues
brought up to be healed we will go through enormous personal and spiritual growth.
One effect I see Reiki having is many people's lives is that of a
springboard. After learning Reiki and allowing the energy to integrate into their lives,
many people begin having doors and possibilities opening up for them that they never knew
existed. What happened for these people was that the Reiki energy acted as a springboard
for them on their path. This is what happens when we find our path or
"sweet-spot" and that is the Reiki energy works toward.
Another effect of learning Reiki is a direct result of the
connection that is made between us and the Reiki source during the attunement. Once this
connection is made, we become more closely aligned with Spirit or Creator or Source or
whatever name you put to it, than we have been in our entire lives. This connection and
the high frequency energy now a part of who we are raises our own vibration and brings us
closer to a 4th dimensional state of being. With the increase in vibration we more easily
perceive those beings of light that exist at a 4th dimensional state such as our Spirit
Guides, Angels, etc., and we are more apt to be able to tap into that stream of
consciousness. This is why so many people have their intuitive abilities awakened after an
attunement and begin having contact with light beings.
The benefits of learning Reiki are as limitless as its uses. Each
person takes the energy and makes it uniquely his or her own. The benefits I have listed
here are only the ones that I have personally experienced, and are by no means meant to be

Playing in their first game at the Los Angeles Sports Arena since 2006, the No. 17 UCLA Bruins were stunned by the Loyola Marymount Lions on Friday night, 69-58. It was the first loss for the Bruins to the Lions in 70 years, since a 40-34 defeat in the 1941-1942 season.↵
Center Joshua Smith had just five points and four rebounds in 16 minutes, though he did block three shots in the loss. Despite the loss, Smith was not impressed with the Lions, the West Coast Conference foe who had lost eight consecutive road games. Smith, on Twitter as @YoungChoppz_34, had this to say after the game:↵
Just lost to some straight bums lol...↵
UCLA, playing at the Sports Arena this season while Pauley Pavilion is being renovated, gets their second crack at a Sports Arena win Tuesday night against Middle Tennessee State.↵

All of the videos from LatinTutorial to browse, search, and filter.
Sorted by Most to Fewest Views
We see Roman numerals everywhere, from Super Bowls to popes. This video is a short introduction to Roman numerals, including how to add and even multiply with them.
background culture
We may not speak Latin anymore, but that doesn't mean we don't know how it's pronounced. This video covers consonants, which are mostly the same as our English ones, with just a few exceptions.
background introduction
Trilling your R is just hard, especially for many English speakers, and I teach one of the ways you can achieve a trilled R. Don't get frustrated if you can't do it right the first time. Trilling takes practice, but most people can achieve this trill with enough time and patience. Good luck!
background introduction
The vowel in Latin is the most important part of pronunciation. This video covers the difference between long and short vowels, along with diphthongs (everyone's favorite word).
background introduction
Latin is dead? No way! Latin is just the ancient form of Spanish, French, and Italian. And what's more, Latin wasn't what it once was, since it is also derived from another more ancient (and lost) language. But we can trace the history of Latin and its related languages like a family genealogy. N.B., not all languages are represented here (e.g., Romanian, itself a Latin tongue) only because of space limitations in the video.
background culture
Numbers in Latin are as easy as one-two-three, except that the numbers one, two, and three are declined to match the same case, number, and gender as the noun they are describing. This video covers Latin cardinal numbers, the numbers we use to count.
adjectives culture feminine masculine neuter
Before you begin to learn Latin, it's probably best to review some of the more basic concepts of grammar in English. This video covers the essentials: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and prepositional phrases.
background introduction
One of the big hurdles for any beginning Latin student is dealing with the case system, which essentially does not exist in English. This video is a basic overview of the six main cases in Latin: the nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, ablative, and vocative.
cases nouns
Unlike English, Latin is an inflected language (which means that the endings of nouns change based on its role in the sentence) and divides its nouns into groups called declensions. Each declension has predictable and fixed patterns for changing endings to go along with the changing grammar. This video discusses at a very basic level what exactly declensions are and how you can identify the declension of a noun given just the nominative and accusative cases.
introduction nouns
Latin sentences tend to have an order different from what most English speakers are familiar with. Latin likes a touch of suspense by placing the verb at the end of the sentence. But it's not so strange, since more languages have Latin's word order (Subject-Object-Verb) than English's (Subject-Verb-Object).

Tuesday night, MSNBC's Chris Hayes tackled the subject of Starbucks' #RaceTogether campaign on his show All in With Chris Hayes. The panel discussion included CBS Sunday Morning's Nancy Giles and culture commentator and DJ Jay Smooth. Smooth is known for his talks on race and his in-depth knowledge of hip-hop and culture.
If you're not familiar with Smooth, a good place to start is watching his video "On Don Lemon, Race & 'Respectability'":
As well as "How to Tell Someone They Sound Racist":
During last night's segment on Starbucks' failed campaign, Giles started to make fun of how she assumed Smooth was co-opting blackness because of the way he talked and the music he listens to.
"I can't not tease Jay about the kinda like brotha way he was trying to talk, like, 'Hey,' with the rap music in the background, and, like, down with the people," Giles said.
I can't even imagine what was going through Smooth's head while she was talking. But he did let her know that he is definitely a rap guy.
But Giles didn't stop there. She just kept on inserting her foot into her mouth based on her own assumptions, and teased Smooth about trying to act black.
"Yeah, I know, but it's another interesting, funny thing about race. Like, there would be some people that would feel that you co-opted something like that, and other people might feel like that's his background and that's really cool, too," Giles said. "These are conversations, you know, 'Yo, like, ya know, yeah, if somebody takes my wallet,' I mean, it's really interesting."
And if there was ever a time to insert a "Well, that was awkward" gif, right now would have been that moment.
"It's also interesting because I'm actually black, but you assumed otherwise," Smooth said.
This is the exact awkwardness that many people were trying to prove when they rallied against #RaceTogether on Twitter. Imagine if Smooth was having a #RaceTogether convo with a white barista at Starbucks, and the barista has no idea he's black and goes on a rant about "those black people." That would definitely make for another awkward moment, when all you were trying to do was get your macchiato.

What Is the Future If I Choose to Build a Career in Web Designing?
There is a bright as well as an enthusiastic future for a website design hopeful if he/she chooses to construct a job in web designing, albeit it is essential to factor in a couple of significant points prior to you fix to use up the job of website design for a living.
Designing websites is a creative job which likewise permits a candidate to ceremony his/her inventiveness to others. Website design is insufficient as well as lax if the two components viz. graphic layout and computer system programming are not integrated.
As it normally happens, a client comes close to an internet developer just when he/she experiences a need for designing a website, as the specialist developer can wow the client with fantastic and eclectic layouts and imaginative job.
So when it pertains to establishing a website design, it does involve creative thinking in addition to the use of cutting-edge internet technology as well as tools to make the job appear smooth.
While constructing internet sites, it is important for internet designers to keep a selection of fundamental action in mind to produce clickable items. It is a salient variable and shows that when a customer intends to ask, the combination of a Get in touch with United States switch is inevitable.
Nevertheless, it will certainly promote the clients to click on the web link and send an email to the organization for any potential inquiries and questions. The internet developer needs to understand how to function file transfer protocol (or FTP) to ensure that this needs to function.
On the various other hands, if you are a web designer being utilized by a customer, it is important to recognize that not every customer has comparable web servers. At the crossroads, you need to be aware of how to work with numerous web servers to sculpt an enhanced edge and also have a rapidly expanding web designer career.
Any type of diploma, degree or any type of various other comparable courses (no anticipation or experience is needed) will aid you in releasing an efficient website designer job at a training facility. As a result of the reality that the internet expands a great deal, you will certainly have a continuing need for sites made and developed by educated web site developers.
You must understand that not everybody begins as an internet site developer immediately. Lots of site developers release their professions as visuals developers and eventually begin functioning their way up the ladder. There are various things that a graphic developer figures out which can be used as a web site developer as they are both taking a vision from a customer as well as altering them into a reality in a range of forms.
Nowadays finding training facilities using web growth training courses in a city is not a difficult job, as they are available in wealth. The centers will certainly assist you to discover every little thing about web site design as well as growth; this way you will certainly be able to discover how to build, maximize and advertise internet sites for SME organizations from different histories. It facilitates the change from the classroom to the real life much easily.
The even more educated as well as competent you remain in the career of web site creating, the much more you have chances to make a maximum quantity of loan. A recently established with average understanding of the job stream can think to earn something between 150000 INR to 200000 INR per annum. Likewise, after gaining experience of one year in the sector, you can eagerly anticipate gaining an income ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 lakhs or perhaps a lot more per annum, yet much depends on the firm where you have applied for the job setting.
Like the world, we reside in is fast-paced and sophisticated, so it can be extremely challenging to show up a job that you guess will proceed for a decade or perhaps more. Incidentally, constructing a profession in web design is something that has actually been swiftly earning importance in the business world, so picking web site layout as a professional job is a realistic decision.

Being Brave Isn't Just for Kids
Raising a courageous, independent child means being a courageous, independently minded parent
Heading out the door? Read this article on the new Outside+ app available now on iOS devices for members! Download the app.
We have a new morning ritual at our house. My husband bikes a mile to school with our two daughters, six and eight, and I wave them off down the driveway and try not to hyperventilate.
Ever since I broke my leg in the wilderness earlier this summer, my nervous system has been on high alert. There's nothing like an accident—unpredictable, irreversible—to drive home a sense of your profound vulnerability in the world. One minute you're floating down a pristine river on a bucket-list tenth anniversary trip, the next you're wrapped around a rock and your shin is sticking out of your knee at a freaky angle. There's no going back from that.
We all live with uncertainty every day, but most of the time we organize our lives in such a way as to keep the idea of mortality at bay. This is good because if we thought about it too much, how perilously close we brush up against trauma and chance all the time, we would surely go crazy, or at least never leave the house.
We talk about the importance of raising fearless, curious, free-wheeling kids and brave girls. But we don't talk about how to raise brave parents, to condition ourselves for courage.
The opportunities for worry shoot through the roof once you have kids. "For parents, anxiety is normal," says Debbie Pincus, a psychotherapist and parenting coach, and the author of a series of audio lessons called The Calm Parent A.M. and P.M. "From the second they're born or before it, the worry begins and it never stops." Even as they grow and become independent beings, capable of pouring their own cereal and biking to school and, yes, sometimes annoying you, the worries don't end. They just change form. You want them to be happy, have friends, do well in school, live. Even when we are ourselves adventurous and risk-tolerant, determined to let our kids be out in the world and make their own mistakes, to let them ride bikes, climb peaks, and run rapids, anxiety is chronic, low-grade, inescapable.
"The courage required of us as parents is staggering," says Kate Reynolds, a Santa Fe-based psychotherapist who specializes in mindful parenting. Reynolds spoke last month to a group of parents after a local high school student died accidentally while conducting a science experiment at home. "When you get stressed out or worried in your family life, it helps to look at the big picture: We are all here, right now, together," she said. Then she paused, lowering her voice: "And we won't always be."
The unspeakable horror of losing a child is, of course, every parent's worst nightmare. It's what keeps us up at night waiting for the crunch of the teenager's car in the driveway and has us sweating at the bottom of a tree run, waiting for them to pop out in one piece, brain still intact. For parents, worry, like love, is universal. But no one talks about it. We talk about the importance of raising fearless, curious, free-wheeling kids and brave girls. But we don't talk about how to raise brave parents, to condition ourselves for courage.
It's not just a mother thing. A male friend of mine, an accomplished mountaineer and lifelong adventurer known for pulling off burly solos, used to fight off panic attacks while on expedition—not because he feared for his own safety but for his two young daughters' half a world away.
Sheltering our kids isn't the solution. "You're building their grit when you let them out in the world," says Krissy Pozatek, author of Brave Parenting:A Buddhist-Inspired Guide to Raising Emotionally Resilient Children. "They're growing in the world. If you keep them contained and safe, they're more vulnerable because they don't have the necessary skill development."
So how do we nurture our own emotional resilience to help our children develop theirs? "I don't think we can delete our emotions, but what we can do is be smart and use our intellect," says Pozatek. "Rather be guided by emotions we have a cognitive process."
Start by finding your comfort zone. Pozatek's older daughter is 12 and lobbying to join a youth downhill mountain bike team near their home in Vermont. "You have to do a cost-benefit analysis and decide if you're comfortable with it," explains Pozatek. "We're not totally there yet, in terms of being okay with the risk, but if I say yes, I have to let go." In my girls' case, we already green-lighted biking to school last year—they rode nearly every day. There's no more traffic now than then. They're older, bigger, and arguably more aware of their bodies and bikes in relation to cars around them. And perhaps most reassuring, they're not alone. They're with their father, a competent rider for whom their well-being is his highest priority.
They're at no greater risk than they were a year ago—in fact, probably less. The only difference is my own newly heightened sense of vulnerability in the aftermath of my accident. Tapping into self-awareness is key to diffusing your fear. Figure out what's yours and what's theirs—Pippa and Maisy aren't afraid of biking to school. I am. "Then, if you're still in the grip of anxiety," says Pozatek, "you can say, 'There's my anxiety again.' By doing that you're not in it, you're observing it." Then you can focus on self-care techniques, like a minute of mindful breathing or doing a body scan to see where you're tense. "A great way to work with your thoughts is to go into the body; pay attention the energy in your feet and hands." Or, suggests Pincus, take a quick walk.
After the girls wheel out of sight, I go into the backyard and set the Meditation Timer app (free and simple, no talking, no instruction, just a timer and chimes) on my iPhone for ten minutes and just try to breathe through the irrational fear. Usually by the time the bell chimes, I'm calmer for the practice (and not just because I can hear Steve home safely again, rattling around kitchen).
Bottom line: Hovering will only make you worry more.
Then it's a matter of surrendering to the unknowns. "You can't control everything," says Pozatek—like, eek, drivers barreling down the street while texting, oblivious to little girls on bikes—"so you have to practice thinking, whatever happens, I'll face it. It's about trusting that we're here to learn and grow, and whatever happens it's okay."
Talk it through with your kids. You don't have to let them know that the sight of them spinning away sends you spinning. (According to a study in the Journal of American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, between two and seven percent of children whose parents suffer from anxiety develop it, too.) But you can and should have an open, honest conversation about the risks and consequences of their activities. "I think I do both at different times—keep it in and discuss it," says Pozatek. "I'm not a robot. When my daughter jumped off 40-foot cliff jump, I told her that we weren't going back there. Certainly she needs to know we care about her safety." Kids have their own comfort zone; some are more reckless, others more accident prone. "I'm very open with my girls. I'll say, if you hit your head doing blank, you're not going to be playing soccer. You'll be going to the E.R., and then you're going to be sitting at home in a dark room for two weeks with a concussion." At that Pozatek laughs a little. (Humor helps, too.) "My daughters are very motivated for their sports, so it's all about showing them they have a choice. On the other hand, you don't want to be alarmist, especially if your child is more timid. Once you give your blessing you need to be okay with it."
Finally, once you've talked it through and given the go-ahead, resist the urge to micro-manage their choices and actions. Sometimes before my girls ride to school, I'll remind them to take it easy around the blind corner where cars sometime swing wide. "Don't forget to slow down," I warn them. This may ease my worries in the short-term, says Pozatek, but it will actually add to them down the road.
"Noticing your helicoptering," Pozatek says. "You're telling them, 'Do this, don't do that,' rather than having them own it. Instead, ask them, 'What's your plan? How are you going to ride to school safely? Where do you need to be most careful?' The goal is to strengthen their executive function so they're on alert, so you don't have to hover over them and problem-solve for them. Kids who have their parents run interference for them don't think they're capable. That's way more anxiety producing. That's one thousand percent more stressful."
Bottom line: Hovering will only make you worry more.
On this point, I'm starting to think that maybe my physical injury—if not the emotional trauma that followed—might actually be a good thing. It's pretty much impossible to hover when you're hobbling around on crutches. The other day I shooed the girls off when they told me they wanted to hike over and down the steep arroyo and down the street to a new friend's house. Sure, I said, just stick together. Had I been physically able to walk them there myself, I probably would have bossed them the whole way. Instead I hung out in the backyard and later, after their friend's father called asking vaguely, "Have you seen my daughter?" and my immobility made it futile to freak out and they finally straggled back from who knows where, way past lunchtime, they went inside and made their own tuna fish sandwiches—a win for childhood independence and this parent's fragile nerves.

What is Transitional Kindergarten?
Transitional kindergarten, sometimes referred to as TK, is a publicly funded program for 4-year-olds who turn 5 between Sept. 2 and Dec. 2. Transitional kindergarten is designed to be a bridge between preschool and kindergarten. Children who are enrolled in transitional kindergarten can enroll in traditional kindergarten classes the following year. Although there is no mandated curriculum, transitional kindergarten is modeled on a modified kindergarten curriculum that is age and developmentally appropriate. Districts and schools have flexibility with how to implement curriculum, but the California Department of Education states that transitional kindergarten is meant to closely follow guidelines in the California Preschool Learning Foundations developed by the department. Districts are expected to use those guidelines as a foundation for instruction.
Transitional kindergarten is not mandatory in California. Parents decide whether to enroll their children in preschool or transitional kindergarten. California does not require children to be enrolled in public school until their 6th birthday, and at that point, individual school districts decide whether students enrolling for the first time should be in kindergarten or 1st grade.

The online audience loves video content. The consumption of videos has been on the rise and there is no sign of saturation.
So it is natural for brands to jump on the video wagon to reap benefits. And when one thinks of video, Youtube is the first 'keyword' that comes to mind.
But Youtube success isn't easy. About 300 hours of video content is uploaded to Youtube every minute! So for your video to shine, optimisation is necessary.
If your Youtube videos aren't delivering as fast as you expected, here are 6 things that will keep you going:
Before you head on to optimise your video for Youtube success, it is crucial to ensure that your video has the following qualities-
The key to video success is engagement. For ads, the trick is to engage your viewers in the first few seconds so they stick around till the end and get converted into actual customers. For other video content also, keep in mind that the engagement reduces with the increase in length.
The demand for video content is on the rise because of its ability to weave a story. For your audience, it is easier to remember information that is knitted in a story. So for your video to deliver results, effective storytelling is crucial.
Keywords are essential for Youtube success. Use the keywords in the title and description section of your video. Enrich your video by writing out the complete transcript.
Custom thumbnails which entice the viewers and also give a brief idea about the video content work well in engaging the user. So make sure that you pick a good frame from your video for the thumbnail.
When a brand is using Youtube to boost its presence, it makes sense that success is translated into results only when your objective is achieved; objective could either be driving more traffic to website or increase product sales. This is only possible with an effective call to action in your video.
Since a large chunk of users now watch videos on mobile device, it is crucial to focus on optimising your video for these mobile users. Here is an exhaustive guide to optimising Youtube videos for mobile devices.
The road to Youtube success is filled with some mandatory milestones that you must cross. And in order to do that, you need to focus on optimising your video content-wise and work on making it searchable.

MTN to list on NSE Thursday
May 14, 2019905 views0 comments
MTN Nigeria is to be officially introduced on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE) on Thursday as the telecom company has concluded all relevant processes which will enable it list on the Nigerian bourse, two officials have said.
The NSE and MTN officials who pleaded anonymity confirmed the developmednt that the telecom operator's 20.3billion shares are expected to start trading this week.
''Yes, I can confirm that we are listing this Thursday'', a top MTN official said Trust yesterday. ''All I can say is that Nigerian investors will start trading in MTN sometime this week'', a top NSE official familiar with the MTN listing said.
The telecommunication giant last week said it had completed the registration of 20.3billion ordinary shares of N0.02 each with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). It said the successful completion of the process set in motion the next steps in the company's intended listing by introduction on the Nigerian Stock Exchange (NSE).
MTN CEO, Ferdi Moolman, said, "I am excited we have achieved another milestone in our listing process, and we want to thank the SEC and the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) for supporting us through the process. We have now begun to engage with the NSE to complete the listing process."
The South African telecoms giant had in April announced its conversion from a private company to a public company. The conversion to a public company is a legal requirement and a key milestone in the preparatory process for MTN's listing on the NSE, Moolman, had said in a statement in April.
Moolman said MTN's intended listing on NSE would create a new telecom asset class for investors and provide a wider group of Nigerians with a chance to participate in the MTN investment opportunity. He had also said it was a re-affirmation of the company's long-term commitment to expanding investment opportunities for Nigerians, in addition to providing everyday services to them.

WEDNESDAY, Aug. 14, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Use of antiarrhythmic drugs (AADs) is associated with a higher risk for fall-related injuries and syncope among older patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), according to a study published online July 24 in the Journal of the American Geriatrics Society.
Frederik Dalgaard, M.D., from Herlev and Gentofte Hospital in Hellerup, Denmark, and colleagues used the Danish nationwide administrative registries (2000 to 2015) to identify 100,935 patients with AF (age, ≥65 years) with a prescription claim for rate-lowering drugs and/or AADs. Rates of monotherapy versus dual therapy were examined. The authors sought to determine the association between rate and/or rhythm control and fall-related injuries and syncope.
The researchers found that during a median follow-up of 2.1 years, 17 percent of patients experienced a fall-related injury, 5.7 percent had a syncope, and 20.9 percent experienced either a fall-related injury and/or a syncope. Treatment with AADs was associated with a higher risk for fall-related injuries and syncope compared with rate-lowering monotherapy. For combined fall-related injuries and syncope, the incidence rate ratios were 1.29 for AAD monotherapy and 1.46 for dual AAD and rate-lowering therapy. Amiodarone significantly increased the risk for fall-related injuries and syncope (incidence rate ratio, 1.40). A higher risk for all outcomes was seen in the first 90 days of any treatment versus >180 days of rate-lowering monotherapy, although the greatest risk was seen in the first 14 days for those treated with AADs.
"Physicians should be aware of the risk of fall-related injuries and syncope when treating this cohort, particularly when prescribing amiodarone," the authors write.
Several authors disclosed financial ties to the pharmaceutical industry.

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful The Bestower of Mercy
The student should memorize the text of some of the ahaadith transmitted in this subject matter, in order to protect himself, rebut the falsehood of the people of falsehood, the false explanations and distortions of the people of falsehood.
The Ahaadith to Be Memorized Are:
(a) The Prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven every night, during the last third part of night and says: 'Who is asking me; who is calling upon Me; who is seeking My Forgiveness"
The above statement cannot be uttered except by Allaah. It cannot be uttered by an angel because if an angel was to say this, he would have declared himself a partner to Allaah.
(b) Also in another hadeeth, the prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven every night, during the last third part of the night and says: "I am Al-Malik; I am Al-Malik"
(c) Also in another hadeeth, the prophet (sallal-laahu-alayhi-wasallam) said that when our Lord descends, He says: "My slaves are not to ask anyone besides Me"
This statement cannot be uttered by an angel, rather only Allaah can utter this statement. Imaam Abdul Ghaniyy Al-Maqdisi (rahimahullaah) mentioned these two ahaadith (B & C) and further stated that they cut off the false interpretation of every false interpreter and the distortion of every distorter.
Therefore, if the people of falsehood say that it is an angel that descends, then these two ahaadith (B & C) will show the falsehood of their interpretations and distortions. Likewise, all these ahaadith about the Nuzool states: "Our Lord descends" and not "An angel of our Lord descends"

The best of both worlds
On August 19, 2005, the New York Mercantile Exchange posted crude oil at $65.50 per barrel. According to the EIA, the U.S. average retail price for regular gasoline increased by 18.2 cents, the largest one-week increase on record, to 255.0 cents per gallon, the highest nominal price ever recorded. Retail diesel fuel prices also experienced the largest one-week run-up on record, rising 16.0 cents last week to 256.7 cents per gallon, an all-time high (not adjusted for inflation). These are the hot days of summer in the oil barrel and people are scrambling to find relief. Old technology may be coming back into vogue; the plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV).
There are two types of PHEVS; an all-electric vehicle or a gas-electric hybrid, both of which needs to be recharged from an external electrical outlet. According to don'tcrush.com, an electric car has no engine, no gas tank, no tailpipe, muffler, catalytic converter, no noise, and no emissions. California spurred the invention of electric vehicles, trying desperately to decrease emissions in a suffocating state. If one bought an electric car they were allowed to drive in the carpool lane as a solo passenger in California.
Charging time on a plug-in varies depending on how empty the battery is and how much energy the battery will hold (known in ICE language as to how big the tank is). On average it takes two to eight hours to recharge vehicles, usually done while most are sleeping, but if you're shopping at Costco you can charge your car while you shop – for free. Dan Neil, the automotive journalist for the LA Times, drove around Los Angeles for 144 miles and used 7.092 kWh, which equals out to 68 cents of electricity and $2.50 worth of gasoline, working out to about 4 cents per mile.
The auto industry embraced this technology until the bills mounted and there was very little demand. The lack of demand stemmed from the range the car could go before needing to be recharged. Dave Barthmuss, General Motors spokesperson laments the end of the EV, "There is a great deal of technology that we have learned from the EV that is in the hydrogen fuel cell vehicle. General Motors sees the hydrogen fuel cell as the ultimate vehicle and, unfortunately, the demand for the EV never panned out." General Motors pulled the plug and sent the EV1s to metal heaven via a crushing machine. In an "only in California" moment, a mock funeral was held. There are people who have passed on to the next life that didn't get the emotional send-off that the beleaguered GM EV1 received.
But there are uses for electric vehicles that are making it worthwhile for automakers to bring the plug-ins back. According to Nick Twork, powertrain, and technology spokesperson for Ford Motor Co., "The plug-ins were part of a Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) mandate that was eventually replaced with the Partial Zero Emissions Ford is studying plug-ins for the future solution, but currently, there are technical problems."
According to Nick Cappa, Daimler Chrysler is producing a plug-in hybrid built on the 15-passenger van platform of the Mercedes Sprinter. Daimler Chrysler is working with the Electric Power Research Institute of Palo Alto. The New York Power Authority is helping to fund the five-cylinder diesel cargo van that will allow the New York Times to deliver their papers without using a drop of diesel fuel for the first twenty miles. There is an "electric-only" switch inside the cargo van that can be turned on when one wants to use only electricity. According to Cappa, "Some cities don't allow commercial vehicles because of their emissions. The electric car is less noisy and zero emissions, so it is the perfect vehicle to deliver the morning paper."Pressure is mounting from different sources to consider plug-ins as a viable option. "Such development should have the highest research and development priority because it promises to revolutionize transportation economics and to have a dramatic effect on the problems caused by oil dependence," wrote George Shultz, former U.S. secretary of state, and James Woolsey, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency, in a June position paper on oil and U.S. national security. Woolsey just took a ride in a plug-in Prius yesterday, according to Greg Hanssen, of edrivesystems.com
According to Hanssen, of "the nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery systems in today's Prius aren't powerful enough to make a plug-in hybrid practical. But moving to the more advanced and powerful lithium-ion battery allows us to change out Toyotas system and create a plug-in."
The most significant issue in a Lithium-ion (Lion) battery is in heating. Lions are vulnerable to "thermal runaway" " meaning they can heat up to 800 degrees Celsius, break in half and shoot flames out, resulting in batteries catching on fire or blowing up.
Valence says it has overcome this safety issue by altering the chemistry of lithium-ion systems. It uses batteries based on iron phosphate rather than cobalt, reducing temperatures in the case of a thermal runaway to less than 200 degrees Celsius.
The plug-in upgrade for the Prius is 6-7 months away from production, according to Hanssen. Clean-techs plug-in will take out the NiMH system in the Prius and install their system, utilizing a secret storage area in the rear to house the extra 180 pounds of weight that the Lion carries with it. The plug-in installation will start in Los Angeles, near LAX. Hanssen hopes to have the installation take only 24 hours.
The grassroots folks will buy the car just because it is the latest in technology towards cleaner running automobiles and it gets us closer to getting off the dependence of foreign oil. But next to sex, people think about money the most and there is a saving there. A regular Prius will get around 50 mpg and the average miles driven by a consumer is 50 miles. At almost $3.00 per gallon that is over $1,000 per year in gas for a Prius
According to Hanssen, the plug-in Prius gets between 100-150 mpg. Using the same calculation, adding in the electricity cost, the savings would only be a couple of hundred dollars. However, if you calculated the gas at $4.00 per gallon, or used the discount that the government gives on all-electric vehicles for electricity the savings could be up to $500 per year.
Hanssen acknowledges that the price doesn't cover the savings, "the problem is the cost of the Lithium-Ion battery. They are expensive. If just one OEM would use lithium-ion it would have a dramatic effect on the cost of the battery and the plug-in Prius."
The iron phosphate Lithium-Ion battery is what allows this installation to take place. Mark Kohler, the business development manager of Valence Corporation says that Valence has already modified a Prius with its Saphion technology, giving it 18 times more usable energy and tripling its fuel economy. "We don't have to worry about recycling the Saphion battery because there is nothing in the battery that is harmful to the environment and the material inside the battery
is not worth extracting." Consider the lead-acid battery, lead is toxic and worth something once it is extracted, the same thing for nickel out of the NiMH and cobalt out of the cobalt lithium-ion. The Saphion battery is made with dirt and rust, neither of which are traded on the stock market as of yet. Wait till there are 300,000,000 vehicles running around with Saphion batteries, though, and then well talk. The other reason to use the Saphion battery instead of a cobalt battery is a thermal runaway. Kohler explains that cobalt will heat up and catch on fire, not something you want to have happened when you're driving down the highway. Valences batteries are already being used in North Carolina in some of the hybrid, fuel-cell, plug-in electric ATVs supplied by clean-tech.
Dean Bogues of Valence says that Valence is having "dialog with OEMs worldwide. We are talking with manufacturers that want to use our batteries in 3-5 years and we are taking advantage of more immediate opportunities, such as European utility vehicles that are government-owned and want to replace them with hybrid-electric vehicles.
Valence has two manufacturing plants in Suzhou, China, the one country that isn't beholden to the internal combustion engine. According to Bogus they have also hired a sales team in China and have a systems engineering group in Shanghai, China. Valence is a publicly held company in the United States (NASDAQ: VLNC) and a wholly-owned subsidiary in China (not a joint venture with a Chinese group like all the automobile manufacturers).
The grassroots folks that have embraced each technology as soon as they come out are to be applauded. Because of these consumers willing to pay extra for their beliefs the auto industry has been able to make strides toward better fuel economy, and hopefully someday, independence from foreign oil. The Nickel-Metal hydride hybrids will eventually be eclipsed by another technology. The auto industry is already looking at ways to keep these vehicles around. They don't need another group of grassroots folks with signs pleading for the life of their Nickel Metal Hydride hybrid vehicle.
Electric vehicles have been around for many years and all of these vehicles are still able to go through the HOV carpool lanes for free in California;

Article by Harshita.
Being a mother of two, I know the everyday challenges that parents encounter. I always used to get frustrated when my son did not take the instruction I gave him. He was a hyperactive child and was always on his toes. Especially, when we used to take him to malls or functions, we had to be always behind him. Our advice that he might get lost or he might get hurt never fell on his ears.
Once we had taken him to a shopping mall. It was my turn to shop and husband was looking after him. As usual, my son was busy running around the shop. After trying to control him for a while, my husband just started to watch him at a distance, so that he would not see him. It took a while for the kido to realize that he was all alone. He started to call for me and his dad and started searching for us. Now, he was worried and started crying. Though we felt bad for him, we just watched him crying for some time, since we wanted him to learn to be careful from this experience.
After this incident, he never leaves us when we go out to malls for shopping and informs us before leaving to check something on his own. Along with him, we also learnt a lesson that kids learn better when they experience things.
As parents, we should not expect them to win all the time. But they have to taste failures and disappoints as well! Let them suffer a few Knee scratches while playing, let them lose some games, let them experience disappointments, by not getting what they want.
Most of us adults have mental manual to operate, which tells us to do certain things in particular way, though many of them are not logical at all and we expect our kids also to follow the same thing without thinking about the circumstances. In this process of 'dos and don'ts', the kids miss out on many of life's precious experiences.
Life is a continuous chain of experiences. Of course, some are good and some are bad! But all educate us and help us to lead our lives constructively. So let us switch of the mental manual while dealing with the kids. It does not mean that we should stop caring. If we care for our kids, let us allow them to have enough experience to learn for life.
Being over-protective and over-caring stops the kid from gaining direct knowledge from the experience and we are moulding them on the basis of what we think is right. When we stress on how the child should behave, he/she observes and imbibes the same quality. Instead, let us give them choices; let's make them understand the Action- Consequence relationship. By this, they are better equipped to decide what is good for them and are more responsible. Encouraging them to take risks, helps them to deal with life and problems in a more matured way.
Children, who learn things from their own experiences and kid experiments, learn to think rationally and become more independent. They are not only successful at school, but also have a variety of friends and are more social and accepting individuals.
Let's be there to guide them and let us allow them to think independently. Thus they learn problem solving and decision making skills earlier. We must realize that the children learn responsibilities when we give them space and opportunity to do so. They need to realize that they are individuals with thoughts and minds of their own.
Only by experience, children can realize their capabilities, strengths and weaknesses. When they face the society, they have to interact independently at various levels with different social groups. Only experience of life at all levels gives them a clear understanding of their strengths and weaknesses. But unfortunately many children grow up unaware of the importance of experience in reality, leading to personality issues at later stages of life.
We are parents. We must realize that we are merely caretakers of the next generation. Let us be there for them when they fall, let's motivate them to try and experience new things, let's tell them it is OK to make mistakes and they will be loved unconditionally. Children learn to trust their decisions. Though they may not always meet success, but having choices builds their self-esteem, which helps them to be emotionally more stable and secure as human beings.

I want to query information about the logged-in user using me, and this
site parameter is creating some small problems.
I am developing a visual studio extension where upon logging in a user will get all his network accounts using /me/associated. After that, on clicking on any of the associated account, he will get more information about the user in that site, eg, stackoverflow, using /me. In this step, there is a parameter
site. So how to have the parameter
site where the user have accounts, so that I will pass it to /me?
I want to query information about the logged-in user using me, and this

Yes. Although as stated in the "Per-Site Methods" section of the main doc page, you can also use the full domain name, EG
No, user and shallow_user are site specific objects. You absolutely need to specify
siteto get these.
Supposedly, the assumption is that all
/me routes are site specific -- used by apps that only focus on one domain.
As stated in the "Users" section of the main doc page:
All user methods that take an
{ids}parameter have a
/meequivalent method that takes an
These methods are provided for developer convenience, with the exception of plain /me, which is actually necessary for discovering which user authenticated to an application.
Buried in 2 or 3 particular doc pages it states:
{These methods are} provided for consumers who make strong assumptions about operating within the context of a single site rather than the Stack Exchange network as a whole.
Where the applicable routes are of the form
/users/{id}/{Some SE-wide object} and by implication this would include the
/me/{Some SE-wide object} routes.
This certainly should be better documented in the pages where this doesn't make sense (EG:
/me/inbox, and
And note that other
/me/ routes, like /me/associated and /me/merges, do not require a
site parameter.
What is your true purpose?
The question is unclear.
To get the user's Stack Exchange-wide id, use the
"account_id": 131474, "expires_on_date": 1455815636, "access_token": "3OT6bxxxxxxxxxxqPMZK9Q))"
To get all of the user's associated accounts, use the
{ "user_id": 331508, "site_name": "Stack Overflow" }, { "user_id": 55814, "site_name": "Server Fault" }, { "user_id": 41023, "site_name": "Super User" }, etc.
Your 2 points answered my question. Sending full domain name like "stackoverflow.com" which is returned as
site_urlfrom /me/associated solved my problem. Thanks.– amit jhaFeb 18, 2016 at 6:54

Maintaining Traceability in the Food Industry
Raw ingredients needed for food and beverage products can change hands several times between the farm and the consumer. Reliable data and speedy communication both up and down the supply chain are paramount when protecting the consumer and traceability is also a big part of the process. Streamline traceability within the food industry by implementing a strong enterprise resource planning (ERP) solution.
Product safety initiatives are important when finished products leave a facility for stores and customer shelves, especially food and beverage products. Raw ingredients and food products can pass through several facilities before heading to the store and can be contaminated at any time leading to foodborne illnesses. When consumers become ill, businesses face unpopular attention which can erode trust and lead to loss of business and lawsuits in addition to costly recall procedures and fines or other penalties tied to the contamination. The transparency needed throughout the supply chain and the speed at which you need to respond to potential problems can't be found in paper-based systems or aging systems. You need the power in an innovative ERP solution.
Today's integrated ERP solutions offer a centralized location for all of your business data including financials, inventory and supply chain, manufacturing or distribution operations, and other core business processes. You can use real-time data to maintain visibility throughout your processes to protect your products and your customers. With the time-saving automation of lot traceability, you can track products by material, level, and suppliers and be confident that you can trace back faulty items during a recall if necessary. Data can also be used to show compliance with applicable rules and regulations, including track and trace records.
A robust ERP solution, such as Sage® ERP, can also support efforts to track direct store delivery and vendor-managed inventory, high-volume and low-volume items, and customized packaging needed for distributors. Sage ERP also supports electronic data interchange (EDI) for case or pallet tagging and radio frequency (RFID) and electronic product codes (EPC). Not only can you maintain closer attention to products that are coming and going from your facilities, you can use this data to further streamline operations, improving productivity and profitability.
Protect your customers and your business by gaining greater control and insight throughout your supply chain. Contact IWI Consulting Group to learn how Sage ERP can improve traceability and food safety.
