Digg Deep For Kids
Due to my long history in kids retail and now that I am a parent myself, I have become more and more invested in trying to make a difference to the lives of the children in our communities.
I have been involved in many campaigns over the last number of years which I can proudly say have made a difference.
Digg Superstars helped so many children feel fulfilled and worthy of a place in the world of fashion.
Digg Mission Christmas made a difference to hundreds of children's lives Christmas 2019.
Digg Deep for Kids (2020) raised £102,000 in just over two weeks for Cash for kids, Womens Aid and Children In Northern Ireland. This money was then turned into £250,000 worth of essentials for the charities by working with Influencers throughout Northern Ireland.
What I have learned is that everyone wants to help but often they don't know how or they have no clue where to start.
I promise I will continue to be that vehicle for you all in whatever way I can. I have some exciting projects coming up which will help so many of our children and I know I will have your support because I always do.
Lets continue to make a difference in life and in business.

International business etiquette, manners and culture have always been fascinating to me. I've worked with people all around the world. After a while, you can even spot differences in business etiquette in written correspondence like email and social media. The most tricky situations are definitely the in person meetings though. Do you know the proper etiquette in different countries around the world?
If you plan to travel internationally for business, this is definitely something to consider. The first impression you make will set the tone for the entire business relationship. It will also affect your ability to build trust and your overall success with your business dealings. Accidentally doing something offensive in an international business situation could be embarrassing for you and your company.
My friend @ChristopherIsak and I had a conversation about this the other day. He lives in Germany, and I live in the United States. It might seem like the business etiquette in those two countries would be pretty much the same, but it isn't.
One thing I like about the German culture is that it's considered rude to chew gum while talking to someone. I wish more people in the United States would ditch the gum too, but I'll save my dislike of chewing gum for another article.
The business etiquette in countries like China and Japan are incredibly different than the United States for example. I remember how helpful my concierge was when I was in Shanghai. When it was time to say goodbye after several days, I thanked her and gave her a hug. Here in the United States, that is common. She politely accepted my hug, but I could tell she wasn't used to that behavior.
If you click over to cyborlink, you can compare the business etiquette, manners and cultures for different places around the world. I could get lost on that website for hours. It's so interesting to learn what is acceptable and what isn't in different regions of the world.
WD Storage (along with some help from cyborlink) created this infographic called International Business Etiquette. You might also find this article on Forbes entitled Business Etiquette Tips For International Travel helpful. I hope you enjoy this fun infographic as much as I did!

British Fertility Society Conference in Gateshead
8 January 2016
This new year, our team ventured to Newcastle in order to attend the 2016 British Fertility Conference held at the Gateshead SAGE conference centre. This conference attracts many top class researchers interested in reproductive biology and is a great place to discuss ideas and new research.
While Allan is a regular to these conferences and gave a talk on sperm banking, it was the first time attending for Steven and Sarah. We were there to present initial work from the SPERM project.
Steven's talk won the BFS scientist award and explained what energy compounds we have tested to see if sperm are able to break them down.
Sarah presented a poster which explained the methods we had developed to examine metabolite profile in sperm and the differences present between high quality and low quality sperm metabolites.
The conference was very useful to attend there were presentations made on all aspects of fertility and infertility.
The two sessions I found most insightful were
the debate between Scott Nelson and Yacoub Khalaf discussing if the hormone, anti-mullerian hormone, is enough on its own to test a woman's fertility status
the first session explaining how fertility is preserved after blast injuries by Jackson Kirkman Brown

Whether your situation calls for a short nap or an overnight slumber, this sleep guide will give you the essential information needed to prepare you for sleeping in Geneva Airport.
Our guide is updated with the help of airport sleepers who tell us about their experiences at Geneva Airport. If you have a tip to share, write a review to help us keep this sleep guide up-to-date!
Covid-19 Update: This sleep guide was written before Covid-19, so the information may have changed. In October 2021, we will be starting our first guide update since March 2020. A lot has changed, so it's going to be a massive update. If you are interested in helping, click here to add or update information or write a review to add tips or share photos to help future travellers .
This guide was last updated: 01 October 2019. Read the latest traveller reviews.
Sleeping in Geneva Airport Overnight
According to the official website, Geneva Airport is closed from 12:00 AM (midnight) until 4:00AM. Still, it seems that some travellers get lucky and are allowed to remain inside, as long as they're already in the terminal before closing time. If you are in Geneva and arrive at the airport on the landside (by car, bus, train), you would not be able to enter the airport until the same day as your flight departure. Be safe and have a backup plan ready, just in case!
Locations & Seating
There's a decent amount of seating throughout the airport. By night, with few airport sleepers, you'll likely have your pick. But most of the seating options are hard and equipped with armrests. For sleep, you may want to sprawl out on the floor. It isn't carpeted, so extra layers will provide some cushion and warmth.
Here are good sleep spots that travellers have reported:
- Terminal 1, Floor 2 has a waiting room that seems to be very quiet
- Terminal 1, near the exit for the train station, you may find some leather chairs, which are comfortable for anyone who can sleep while sitting up.
- A small nook with basic chairs is located just before the walkway leading to the car rental desks.
Rest Zones
At the time of this update, there are no designated rest zones within the airport.
At the time of this update, we have not received reports from travellers related to terminal temperature. Still, you can likely expect the airport to cool down at night, as air conditioning continues to run and fewer people are inside. Arrive prepared with a blanket or even a sleeping bag. A hoodie provides extra warmth if the terminal gets even colder.
Because the airport is technically closed overnight, most of the lights are dimmed until around 4:00 AM. Come prepared with eyeshades or something else to cover your eyes, such as a shirt or towel.
Daytime sleepers can expect to hear frequent announcements regarding things like boarding calls and general airport announcements (safety warnings, passenger pages, etc). At night, the airport is closed, so it quiets down considerably. Travellers who reported spending the night here said they mostly woke up when cleaning crews got started around 4:00 AM. As a precaution, come prepared with earplugs or noise-cancelling headphones.
Pro-tip: If you chose a spot near any eateries, keep in mind that the staff arrive early and they can get pretty loud in the kitchen.
Freshen up (and loosen those stiff muscles) with a shower before your flight. Locations: Inside Security, at the transit area near the First and Business Class lounges, and pre-Security, two locations in Arrivals: near baggage carousel 6 and near the Post Office. The CHF 15 fee includes toiletries and a towel, and you can purchase tokens at the Welcome Desk Swissport (Arrivals, near baggage carousel 2-3).
Food & Drink
No 24-hour food concessions are available, so stock up on food and water before eateries close for the night.
Prefer some privacy and comfort? If you would like a good solid sleep, you'll have to leave the airport altogether. A few hotels are located within a 5-minute drive of the airport, offering free airport shuttle service. See the hotel section in our Airport Guide for locations or visit Tripadvisor to find hotels deals at Geneva Airport.
Geneva Airport has a few lounges, but none have designated sleep rooms or rest areas. If you just want to relax in a comfortable seat, check out this list of lounges in our Geneva Airport Guide that you can pay to access.
Security & Safety
At the time of this update, we have no reports from travellers commenting on safety issues at Geneva Airport. As a precaution, here are a few tips to ensure you have a safe airport sleeping experience:
- Know Where Security is Located. Whether you are sleeping in the airport alone or with friends, it is good to know where security is. Know where their office is located and look for video cameras where you decide to stay the night. Ask security where it is safe to spend the night. They've probably seen many airport sleepers before you, and they will direct you to a safe spot.
- Don't Seclude Yourself. If you are travelling alone, we recommend that you sleep near other travellers or close to security.
- Hide Your Valuables. Don't leave all your mobile devices out in plain view. We have received reports from people who woke up with only earphones and a laptop bag strap, but without the iPods or laptops that were attached. The same goes for important documents and money. Keep these secure on your body so no one can get them without waking you up.
- Secure Your Bags. If you are a deep sleeper, you may want to padlock your bag to something. If your bags have zippers turn the bag upside down (zippers to the floor) or sleep with your bag up against the wall so that it would be hard for someone to access it.
- Choose to Stay Alert. If you don't feel safe, drink coffee, stay alert, and stay awake. You can always sleep on the plane!
Pro-tip: If you are sleeping in the public zone, don't be surprised if you receive an early morning wake-up call. Security is known to make the rounds waking people up as travellers begin to arrive for morning flights.

Dear Bonnie,
I want to take this opportunity on behalf of our Board of Directors and Capital Campaign Executive Committee to say THANKS.
Your firm's professionalism and creative design work have been a major asset in telling the story of our Challenge to Grow Capital Campaign to expand the YMCA facility.
The cover on our Campaign Case Book tells the entire YMCA story without opening to the inside. Why? Because your design/logo and the Growing from Generation to Generation slogan IS the YMCA and the reason for the expansion.
I look forward to a continued relationship with your firm and once again thank you for helping the Greater Scranton YMCA tell its story.
Lloyd T. Capwell
Executive Director

I guess now that TO is safely in Dallas for the time being, he feels it is time to move on and hose as many teams as possible. Rosenhaus is also the agent of Lance Briggs. I am just going to let you read this, since it is full of little bits.
hough local and national outlets are linking the Bears to a tight end or cornerback in the first round, we've learned the scouting staff is pouring over the LB draft class. Not only is the crop as deep as it has been in recent memory, a team source said the Bears don't feel good about their ability to re-sign Pro Bowl LB Lance Briggs. Word is, Briggs wants a deal that covers at least five years and averages around $6 million per season. The Bears learned the hard way -- the team's perception is that it was a pawn in the Jevon Kearse sweepstakes, driving up his price before Philadelphia signed him in 2004 -- not to enter a bidding war over Drew Rosenhaus' clients. Another factor: MLB Brian Urlacher's base salary climbs to $3.95 million in 2006 and goes up to $7.35 million before the deal expires in 2011, and the Bears don't want to overspend at one position. In fact, the Bears are now more likely to address the contract of NT Ian Scott and then restricted free-agent LB Hunter Hillenmeyer -- both have contracts that will expire after 2006 -- before getting to Briggs. In addition, potential '07 free agents Nathan Vasher, Olin Kreutz, Rex Grossman and Charles Tillman are candidates to have their contracts addressed.
Obviously, this is not good news. Briggs was a huge part of our defense last year and there are way too many teams that are more than willing to overpay for players.

The stage adaptation of Frozen, which opened on Broadway early last year, is coming to London's West End.
It will reopen the Drury Lane Theatre in Autumn 2020 after the theatre's refurbishment, producers confirmed.
The musical is based on the 2013 Disney movie of the same name – the most successful animated film ever, with box office takings of more than £1.25bn,
The storyline of the musical is broadly the same as in the movie, but extra songs have been written for the stage.
Actors currently starring in the Broadway production will stay in New York, while a new British cast will appear in the West End.
'More dimensions'
Songs made famous in the movie such as Let It Go, Do You Want To Build A Snowman and For The First Time In Forever all appear in the stage production.
But the songwriters behind the film's music, Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, were enlisted to write additional material for the musical – a daunting prospect given the classic status of the originals.
"We felt the pressure, but that was the something we had to, well, let go of," says Robert Lopez in what sounds like a genuinely unintended pun.
"Because there's no way to really create from pressure, you have to create from a sense of play and enjoyment and love."
Kristen Anderson-Lopez adds that the new songs were not written for the sole purpose of lengthening the story, "because then they would just feel like padding".
"What was more important," she says, "was to write songs that took the place of a lot of the work that the animation did.
"For instance, if you think about Elsa, you don't really hear much from her at all during the first part of the movie, the way you experience her story is through close-ups, through looks of alarm in her eyes.
"In the theatre, you can't do that, because some people will be 100 yards away, so they can't zero-in on the eyes, so that's where the songs come in. They help you understand what's going on in her heart and in her head."
Critics' reviews
Frozen had strong ticket sales during its first year on Broadway and is currently booked to play there until August, before going on a North American tour until January 2021.
The show has had generally warm, albeit not outstanding, reviews from critics during its Broadway run.
In her three-star review for The Guardian, Alexis Soloski noted the huge popularity of the show with young girls, many of whom attend the show dressed as Anna or Elsa.
"A likable transfer for the animated phenomenon will please fans but an extended running time highlights a thin plot," she wrote.
"Frozen could be more inventive, more imaginative, more vital, more necessary. But as those little girls would almost certainly say, let it go."
Jesse Green in the New York Times praised some elements of the show but also said there were a few "icy patches".
"You can feel the director, Michael Grandage, and his design team straining to make something artistically worthy of the property's commercial promise," he wrote.
But Grandage says the London production won't be exactly the same as one currently playing on Broadway.
"We don't want to just replicate a production," he tells BBC News. "We want it to evolve and respond to the time of watching it.
"And so London will offer us an opportunity to make some adjustments, enhance and develop everything.
"We want to give a bespoke production in England. On one level it could be technical, the magic we use in the show, the spectacle… we want to make sure we evolve with the technology that's available to us."
- Thrills and chills at Frozen musical
- 'Even Disney princesses get terrified'
- 5 questions about Frozen 2 we just can't let go
Grandage, a West End veteran and the former artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse, adds he was glad to have the opportunity to direct a brand new show.
"I'd never directed a new musical before, I'd just directed a lot of music revivals," he explains.
"And so I've always been seeking the opportunity to do a new musical, because you can collaborate with the book writer, the lyricists, the composers, and work on something you can develop with them for the first time."
Jennifer Lee, who wrote the script both for the film and the stage, says one of the main benefits of putting the story into the theatre was "being able to open these characters up".
"Elsa became much richer," she explains. "She had so many more dimensions to her, and on stage we're able to get to know her a lot better than we do in the film.
"The film was the blueprint, but what we were actually allowed to do was go as deep into the story as we always wanted to do.
"And sitting in the theatre and writing and seeing the actors in front of you, they're alive and you're able to work scenes and lines, which is pretty opposite of the experience in film, especially in animation, where there's a lot of projecting of what will become, and only getting pieces of the process along the way.
"Theatre is much more immediate, and it gives you a lot of room to work your craft."
Lee is currently busy working on the Frozen film sequel, which is currently in production, after which the work on putting the West End show together will begin.
"We're on 12-hour days, seven days a week right now!" she says. "We've been so focused on Frozen 2, we lock in June. [After that] I'll be able to open up my focus."
Kristen Anderson-Lopez feels strongly that the musical should remind audiences that Frozen is a relatable story for all audiences, and not just young girls.
"Years of retail have created the idea that Frozen is this thing for little girls, but it's a very rich and adult story about trauma from childhood and the way it can freeze people into roles for their lifetime," she says.
"When the film first came out, adults said, 'Oh I love Frozen'. But somehow, because of the lunchboxes, two years later, everyone came up and said, 'Oh my niece loves Frozen'.
"And we were very anxious to create a story where an adult of any age could say, 'I love Frozen'."

On October 28, 2019, the last episode of "The Deuce" aired on HBO. The drama series started in 2017 and portrayed life and culture around Times Square in New York in the 70s and early 80s, when the area was a notorious red light district. This is a crass contrast to today's experience where hordes of tourists are swarmed by Disney figures trying to make a quick buck posing for photos. The series shows over three seasons how sex workers were driven off the streets into "massage" parlors and erotica studios.
Putting the focus on the "dirty" sex work right before the AIDS epidemic, series creators David Simon and George Pelecanos (The Wire, Treme) went new ways on and off the camera. Naturally, this show is full of nudity, sex, and some occasional violence. While that is not surprising for a drama set in the porn industry, "The Deuce" is credited for being the first show to employ an "intimacy coordinator" on set, a position whose sole responsibility it is to make sure that no actor is uncomfortable, or even worse, feels pressured to shoot scenes they'd prefer not to do. This practice quickly became an industry standard in the times of #metoo.
In 2018, in the middle of production, another problem occurred: the star of the show, James Franco, who plays both twin brothers Vincent and Frankie Martino, was accused of sexual misconduct, and protesters demanded him being fired from the show. However Franco, who is also an executive producer, stayed and ended up directing an episode that delivered one of the strongest messages against the exploitation of female sex workers, delivered by a character based on the real feminism activist Andrea Dworkin, schooling a former prostitute-turned-porn-director played by Maggie Gyllenhaal. This doesn't mean an absolution for Franco, but it's evident that he is more sensitive to women's issues today; something this show might have helped him with.
Franco, Gyllenhaal, and the rest of the excellent cast portraying the colorful characters, are the backbone of the series. Like all of Simon's shows, "The Deuce" is centered on protagonists that are often based in parts on actual people and their experiences. It is notable that the filmmakers never rely on sex to advance the story, which would have been easy in a series about the porn industry and sex work in general.
The people in this show feel real, and the filmmakers deeply care for them. When the gentrification of Times Square becomes a more prominent sub plot in the third and final season, the show delivers just another important statement of how people can't afford to live in their own city anymore. It also addresses who really benefits from cleaning up the inner city neighborhood – an issue that is still painfully topical today, more than thirty years after the events of the series took place.
The grade of realism is astonishing, which is reinforced by the outstanding set and production design. The grimy New York of the past reemerges from the dead, and if you liked how Gotham City looked like in "Joker," watching the third season of "The Deuce" makes it clear that the look was based on New York City in the early 80s. But it's not only the city itself, the nostalgia lives in the outfits, pimpmobiles, cars, and technology of an era that feels antiquated in times of Tesla's, smartphones and internet porn.
Back then, pornography together with homosexuality was on the brink of illegality, and had a highly negative image paired with social stigma, which is something "The Deuce" doesn't hold back on. Today pornography is a commonplace occurance: streaming sites are only a few clicks away and available on every smartphone. Even a sex tape is more often the start of a career, rather than its death sentence; just ask the Kardashians. However, there is still a continuing discussion of sexual freedom and autonomy in this country, like the protest against gay marriage illustrates. "The Deuce" is a show that cannot solve this issue, but it plays a vital part in educating and changing society as well as the film and TV industry, all while being an entertaining look into a past long gone. That's more than most shows can offer.

US reaffirms concern for religious minorities in Iraq
WASHINGTON DC (Kurdistan24) – State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert reaffirmed to reporters on Tuesday the US commitment to religious freedom, including the protection of religious minorities in Iraq, above all Christians and Yezidis, whose communities were decimated by the rampages of the Islamic State (IS).
Responding to a question from Kurdistan 24, Nauert explained that protecting religious minorities "is a big thing for this administration."
"The Vice President has spoken about it numerous times," she added.
Pence, indeed, has had a long-standing interest in Iraq's minority religious communities.
In May 2017, Pence spoke to "The World Summit of Persecuted Christians," organized by Reverend Franklin Graham. Graham's charity, "Samaritan's Purse" has been aiding Christian communities in Syria and Iraq for the past decade, while Graham, himself, is a frequent visitor to the Kurdistan Region and has hailed the Kurds as "true friends" of the US.
Speaking to the World Summit, Pence described his "first trip overseas and in that part of the world," when, as a Congressman, he visited Basrah in 2004, shortly after the Bush administration had declared the end of major combat operations in Iraq.
"I saw the local imam," Pence told his audience, and "as the local bishop arrived I saw the two of them embrace warmly."
"I turned to the State Department official who was traveling with us" and asked, "How long has there been a Christian church in Basrah? He smiled and said, about 1,500 years."
But fourteen years later, the situation has deteriorated sharply. As Pence, lamented, "At the hands of extremists, we've actually seen monasteries demolished, priests and monks beheaded, and the two-millennia-old Christian tradition in Mosul virtually extinguished overnight."
As Graham told Kurdistan 24, "Christians have had to flee from all other areas of Iraq," except for Kurdistan.
In December, Pence met with the Chaldean Archbishop of Erbil, Bashar Warda, who was visiting Washington. No one from the State Department met with him, however.
A further failure to address this issue—a priority for the White House—by the US Agency for International Development (USAID), led to a public rebuke from Pence's office.
At Pence's direction, the head of USAID, Mark Green, and Sam Brownback, who became Ambassador at Large for International Religious Freedom in January, visited the area to explore how the US could more effectively assist endangered religious minorities there.
On Monday, they saw Kurdish Prime Minister Nechirvan Barzani. According to a summary of their meeting posted on the official website of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG), they discussed "the situation of minorities in the Nineveh Plan," as well as the results of Iraq's May 12 elections, the security situation, US assistance to displaced persons, and the development of KRG institutions.
The US delegation "commended" the KRG "and the people of the Kurdistan Region" for accommodating and assisting a "large number of Internally Displaced People and refugees," despite "the challenges facing the Region."
On Tuesday, the US delegation travelled to Baghdad and saw Iraqi Prime Minister, Haidar al Abadi. According to the brief description on Abadi's Facebook page, they discussed "cooperation between Iraq and USAID, economic support, the return of displaced persons, the protection of minorities, and the training of local police."
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has shown a far greater interest in promoting international religious freedom than his predecessor. As Nauert noted, the State Department will host a Ministerial-level conference later this month to address the issue.
She also explained that following their return to the US, Green and Brownback would report to Pence about the results of their trip, after which more information would be publicly available.
Rep. Jeff Fortenberry (R, Nebraska) and retired Congressman Frank Wolf were also part of the US delegation.
Fortenberry is co-chair of the Religious Minorities in the Middle East Caucus. His district includes the largest number of Yezidi families in the US.

During its presentation at the Television Critics Association's winter press tour, TBS announced a 10-episode series order for animated comedy The Cops created by and starring Louis C.K. and Albert Brooks. The network also announced the cast for the upcoming comedic anthology series The Guest Book.
Previously developed as a pilot for FX, The Cops follows Al (Brooks) and Lou (C.K.), two Los Angeles patrolmen trying their best to protect and serve, sometimes failing at both. Ride with them as they patrol one of the biggest cities in the world, then go home with them and be glad you're not married to either.
C.K. and Brooks created the series. They executive produce with Greg Daniels, Dino Stamatopoulos, Dave Becky and Howard Klein. FX Productions, Studio T and 3 Arts Entertainment. The series will premiere in 2018.
"We have made the bold decision to put Louis C.K., Albert Brooks and Greg Daniels at the forefront of what is going to be a serious push into animated comedy for TBS in 2018," said Brett Weitz, Executive Vice President of Original Programming, TBS. "I only hope these newbies know what they're doing."
The Cops marks the second comedy that was picked up at TBS after failing to get a series order at FX. Last year, TBS gave a straight-to-series order to an untitled comedy starring Tracy Morgan and created by Jordan Peele.
The Guest Book, a new anthology comedy series from Greg Daniels, will debut on TBS in August. The series has also locked in its main, recurring and guest cast today. The series will star Kellie Martin (Army Wives) as Officer Kimberly Leahy of the small mountain town of Mount Trace; Charlie Robinson (Hart of Dixie) as Wilfrid, an easygoing manager of rental cottages; Aloma Wright (Suits) as Wilfrid's wife; Carly Jibson (Hairspray) as Vivian, the strong-willed manager of a bikini bar; and Lou Wilson (Tween Fest) as Frank, Vivian's stepson.

The Application Program Interface (API) is designed to complete simple tasks like searching online, booking travel online, ordering foods, and downloading software. It allows users to get data when need it at the highest possible speed. It has successfully evolved in our time and penetrating several industries in the particular logistics business. It permits maximum consistency, accuracy, and speed. Freight APIs have been impacting the logistics sector. Reliable logistics providers use the first-class API logistic for simplifying and streamlining their operations. Real-time automation is one of the main benefits for all users of the APIs in the logistics business. Logistics providers get so many favourable things when they get real-time visibility with the help of this API.
Research the APIs
In general, API permits 2 independent computer programs to communicate with each other. It sets up an array of answers to questions asked from one program to another program. It permits efficient data flow to other programs and is used based on individual needs. API is generally used in the customer relationship management sector of different businesses worldwide. Logistics companies use API logistic every day and promote various aspects of their business. This software is helpful to bridge the information gap between the shippers, carriers, brokers, and other partners in the supply chain.
Make a well-informed decision
The main transportation-related systems using the APIs in their technology nowadays are freight rating, freight tracking, freight dispatching, and retrieving documents. APIs are helpful to improve the communication between all partners in the supply chain as efficiently as possible. They are simple to connect with and designed to enhance transparency. They link the third-party logistics and shippers to online platforms of carriers.
This facility lets customers review the complete tracking information, download proof of delivery forms, review, and make certain accurate rates are updated. API lets shippers review, receive and submit the automated billing. Thus, it reduces mistakes and billing errors.

Lark makes friends with a mysterious French ivory trader — the description of an elephant massacre that opens the book is harrowing stuff. How far should Jack trust this new friend? This is historical adventure with nuance and a flawed, melancholy hero."
Clare Whitfield was interviewed by fellow authors Vaseem Khan and Abir Mukherjee on the Red Hot Chilli Authors podcast, talking about her debut novel, People of Abandoned Character, and its subsequent win at the Goldsboro Books Glass Bell Award 2021 in September this year.

Compassion…Good for Your Health, Good for the Planet
The word compassion has a Latin origin meaning "to suffer with". Several dictionaries offer variations of the definition of compassion as "the act of feeling pity for the suffering of others". I was surprised to read that the word suffering is attached so commonly to compassion—from my perspective, compassion is reaching out to others in a caring, kind, and generous manner. Compassion is a way of being that brings balance to the world and joy to those giving and receiving the sentiment.
Compassion opens the way for acceptance, tolerance, and forgiveness; I suppose from that perspective, there is an element of "feeling pity for one's suffering", even if that "suffering" is experienced personally. Nonetheless, cultivating compassion as a readily available emotion is a practiced skill — the more often compassion is evoked, the more familiar that emotion becomes and the more readily it is accessible to you as a response. When we are able to share a compassionate response with ourselves and others, we spread joy and bring balance. Personal health benefits are noted as well: decreased inflammatory markers, quieter brain activity, lowered pressure in the blood vessels, and an enhanced immune system. That makes sense, doesn't it? Responding with kindness, caring, and generosity is healing and soothing emotionally and physically.

As the manuals are important for the training of firefighters, the documents produced by the work of firefighting organizations provide valuable insight into the structure and activities of Croatian firefighters from the very beginning of organized firefighting to the present day. The secretaries of fire-fighting organizations played an important role in the creation of this valuable historical material, thanks to whose hard work we can reconstruct the conditions in which domestic firefighting was created and operated.
In the documents we can find out more about the structure of companies, equipment, training, interventions and other interesting things from everyday work. In this section you can find under which our firefighters have operated in the past.

The year 2016 continues to bring unprecedented opportunities for the meetings and incentives industry in Canada. While new opportunities exist, meeting planners and travel organizers will also face increased challenges. Canada is an attractive destination for international business meetings thanks to its high level of service, easy access, business culture, as well as competitive pricing. According to ICCA, Canada ranked 9th in the world in 2014 for most international meetings held. Destinations like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal continue to rate as top-tier venues for business meetings. Canada is also a very affordable destination compared to its competitors on meetings and incentives market.
Several trends in 2015 helped to make Canada an even more appealing destination for meeting planners. Low gas prices and favorable exchange rates resulted in a seven-per-cent growth in the number of international travellers. More consumers from South Korea, India, Japan, Australia and the U.S. chose Canada as their travel destination in 2015. The meetings and incentives market represents 15.1 per cent of all Canada visitors and 20.4 per cent overall travel expenses in Canada, and it is expected to continue this growth throughout 2016.
Exciting news, right? Keep in mind that these new opportunities for event planners also present nuanced challenges. Some of these challenges are universal and will impact meeting planners, regardless of the location of their meeting, domestically to Canada or abroad.
Measurable ROI
In 2016, companies will have even higher expectations from meeting planners without a significant increase in budgets. Planners will have to show more ROI with their programs beyond the now-common new leads or sales goals. Organizations will also be putting greater accountability on their meeting planners to ensure that programs correspond to the strategic goals of their organizations. Companies are factoring in goals like professional development, increased networking opportunities and social good.
HR resource challenge
Small meetings and events are often organized by people with different roles and responsibilities who take on event management as an additional task. Many sales representatives are involved in organizing exhibitions, customer events and trainings. Over the past few years we have seen an increase in small meetings which means more pressure on such "ad hoc" event managers who will have to manage the entire event planning process, including corporate travel. The world of travel is the world of constant change. Failure to adapt to these changes and smartly manage them can cost companies a lot of money—money that could otherwise be invested in business growth. According to an article in Fortune, in 2014, more than 28 per cent of flights were delayed and business travellers need to be notified immediately about any changes to their itinerary. In 2016, technologies that automate this process will be moved to the forefront. Mobile apps informing travellers about weather changes, air traffic and international events have become indispensable companions for business travellers. It will be more and more difficult to be a successful meeting planner without such tools.
Shortage of hotels
While the number of meetings and events will grow, that doesn't necessarily mean that the hotel facilities will grow proportionally. That will result in a higher demand for hotel rooms and venues. Meeting and event planners will have to compete with their peers from other organizations and fight for the best venues and prices.
Attendees' experience
With a growing number of events, the biggest emphasis will be put on the quality of the events and attendees' experience. In 2016, meeting planners will have to find new and better ways to improve the experience for attendees. These ways include mobile hotel bookings, using travel and navigation apps, and social media channels. The reality is that in 2016 meeting planners will have to work across three generational demographics (Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials), each with different consumer behaviors. The success of a meeting planner will depend on their ability to develop an attendee engagement plan. Do you have a clear communication with attendees after their travel booking is completed? Is this communication always relevant? Are you sure that your attendees are happy with your services and will come back again? When you communicate with your attendees, whether it's to inform them about the recent changes in their itinerary, offer additional services, or improve their travel experience, you need to provide them with the relevant content at every point of their journey. It is extremely important to deliver the appropriate message at the right time.
Corporate compliance guidelines
In 2016 the corporate travel approval process will be getting more complicated. That makes event management and participation in the events more difficult. For the meeting planner it will mean finding new ways to optimize and automate the process of approval, as well as travel budget management and reporting. In this ever-changing fast-paced environment technology will become the main if not the only assistant for meeting planners and travel managers. This year companies and organizations will have nowhere to hide from the encompassing effects of technological changes. Organizations that don't keep up will fall by the wayside.
Technology can give us power, but there are many other factors that go into successful travel and meeting planning. At Egencia, we believe that the future of the meetings and incentives industry will belong to flexible companies with smart travel management programs that are capable of finding new opportunities in technology-driven changes, rebuilding their business-processes, improving operations, and generating higher profits.

Royal Enfield will announce the price of the much-awaited Interceptor and the Continental GT tomorrow. As always, Royal Enfield will offer a range of accessories with both the upcoming bikes. There are quite a few modified examples of the upcoming Interceptor and the Continental GT around the world. But if you want to customise your bike with official accessories, here is a list that shows all of them.
Single-seater conversion
Royal Enfield Continental GT 650 would come with a twin-seat from the factory. Unlike the Continental GT 535 version, the GT will not get a single-seat version. However, if the customers want the single-seat look back on the Continental GT 650, they can opt for the single-seat conversion kit. There is no such option for the Interceptor though.
Touring seat
The Royal Enfield Continental GT will also get a touring seat conversion that gets diamond-stitched leather cover. It is specially made for long-distance tours and has been made for the comfort of the rider. The touring is also available only for the GT version.
Bar-end mirrors
To get the cruiser or cafe racer looks from the early 90s, Royal Enfield is offering a mirror kit for the Interceptor. They are positioned at the end of the handlebar and offers greater stability, giving a better mirror reflection. The touring mirrors are only available for the Royal Enfield Interceptor.
Touring mirrors
The touring mirrors have a short length, which makes them more stable on the handlebar. Being more stable, they do not vibrate much and ensures easy look on the back while riding at high speeds on the highway.
Both the bikes have been designed for long-distance touring and to ensure that the bikers get minimal wind resistance on the straight highways, Royal Enfield is offering small visors that can be fitted on the top of the headlamp of both the bikes.
Touring handlebars
The Royal Enfield Interceptor gets an option to get upgraded to touring handlebars. Such handlebars are positioned high and provide a very relaxed riding position. They also get a column in the middle that makes them more stable and makes them vibrate lesser.
Bobbins Swingarm
Both the upcoming bikes do not get a centre stand. However, a paddock can be bought as an official accessory which will make servicing the bike much easier. Royal Enfield is also offering Bobbins Swingarm that ensures that the bike stays in place when placed on a paddock.
Front reservoir cap
This front reservoir cap is for the people who want an authentic vintage look on their bikes. It is available for both Interceptor and the Continental GT. It is made up of a machined alloy the replaces the front cylinder cap.
Engine guard
The all-new engines are quite large and can get damaged after a fall. To make sure that it stays safe, Royal Enfield is offering a compact engine guard that fits the swingarm and saves the engine from any kind of fall or hit.
Fork Gaitor kit
The fork gaitor kit adds a vintage look to the front of the bike. It fits on the naked part of the fork and brings back the vintage Royal Enfield look to the bike. As both the bikes are designed as classic bikes, this kit will surely lift the look of the bike.
Engine sump guard
This engine sump guard is for the people who want to take their bikes on the unknown places. The sump guard ensures that the engine sump stays safe even after hits from big rocks. This can be a life-saver at secluded locations.
