The word "fellowship" often causes confusion and not only because of its broad meaning. Being a fellow is usually associated with prestige, exceptional opportunities, and high-class career prospects. No surprise that the National Fellows Program accepts only 4% of almost 500 applicants. But what exactly makes fellowship programs so coveted and competitive if, unlike scholarships, they don't necessarily imply generous financial aid? Let's take a deeper insight.
Fellowship Explained
First, let's distinguish between fellowship and scholarship. The first term means that students of any level can get renewable or nonrenewable financial aid to cover their tuition expenses. In the case of fellowship, the terms are quite different. Fellowship usually goes for a short or long-term program for graduate or senior undergraduate college and university students and provides them not with extensive grants but with valuable educational and practical opportunities, mentorship, and precious status. In most cases, grad school fellowships supply their participants with grants to cover research and living costs, medical insurance, travel spendings, and other basic advanced student needs. To cut it short, fellowship is not about money, it's about opportunities. Student life can be difficult so you may need a college paper writing service. We deliver plagiarism-free papers that are written from scratch by qualified writers.
Fellowship Programs: A Pool of Benefits
Before opening up the major fellowship benefits let's add some flies to the ointment because there actually are a couple. First, the application procedure. You might think that you're familiar with the basic application process since you've done the same to get into college or university and probably to apply for a scholarship. Still getting all the papers ready to be considered by a fellowship commission is much more stressful and requires ultimate precision. Second, once you're in, don't hope for resting on your laurels - the real work has just begun. Third, you can't let the people who gave you the fellowship chance go down. The work and tasks presented to you will almost certainly require developed stress management skills, working to tight deadlines, and solving tasks you've never encountered before. If these cons don't frighten you off, let's move on to the icing of the fellowship cake.
Experience, Challenge, Opportunity
If to speak about the top benefits that fellowship gives to the selected ones, it would be these three. When you're a fellow it means that the whole new world of professional experience is open before you. Yes, the majority of programs are designed for more than just "graduates". They are designed for the most prospective young people in the field, so the level of tasks might be higher than you expect. But this is where experience is built, isn't it?
Being a fellowship applicant means that you're already quite an outstanding individual since you've decided to go for it. It also means that you're craving a professional challenge, otherwise, why would you consider applying for a program with no pre-identified tasks and with a stipend that is considerably lower than the salary you could earn at the job market for the same period of time? Fellowship exposes you to unpredictable and unique situations that bring you to a brand new level of understanding your field and yourself.
Probably the most desired word of those 3 is opportunity. Being placed among people of the same state of mind, among those who, like you, are full of enthusiasm and energy, or being able to look up to the top-notch professionals and learn from them is truly invaluable. When you become a part of the community, it makes each day full of new beginnings, ideas, and activities as a result, the "flow" will inevitably open up new career horizons for you. Apart from people, fellowship can also help you get international experience which is priceless for any young specialist and in high demand for any future employer.
How-To Fellowship Application Guide
We've already mentioned that the fellowship application process is a challenging one. The good thing is that "challenging" doesn't mean you can't nail it. Follow up to see how.
Part 1
The first part consists of a bigger number of steps as it implies gathering and filling in papers and forms.
- Start far in advance
Preparing documents almost never goes seamlessly, so to avoid extra stress and hurry, start collecting all the papers, letters, and signatures beforehand. Securing enough time for preparation means you can get into details better and as a result feel more confident.
- Make a plan
No application process goes well without precise planning. Put down every drip you are to do, arrange tasks in order of importance and urgency.
- Get valuable insights from former applicants
Learning from your own mistakes is great, but avoiding them where possible is also cool. Of course, a fellowship application is not a one-time shot, but who wants to waste both valuable time and opportunity if there's plenty of former successful applicants who will gladly share their own priceless insights.
- Focus on the project proposal
This is the most important part of the whole application process. The project proposal is basically the central element that should catch the committee's attention and make them give you the green light. The project doesn't have to be completed. Drafts, ideas, and intentions that the fellowship program can help you fulfill would be enough. Here are some tips on how to leave them not indifferent by your project proposal:
- Don't write too complicated
Your project description shouldn't look like an abstract from a scientific journal, it has to be clear and readable, able to turn on the committee's imagination and let them see the final result. Give some air and eloquent simplicity.
- Put the focus on unicity/importance
You should fall in love with your project if you still haven't. Think of its distinctive features, unique elements, and valuable practical results the organization might be interested in.
- Revise multiple times
Revision is everything. Even the most creative project proposal can fade because of spelling and grammar mistakes. That's why try not to revise the work right after you've written it - let your attention refocus on it later (and a couple of times after that).
Part 2
If the paper part is done correctly and the luck is on your side, prepare for an interview. Here're a couple of practical tips:
- Reread the terms of the program and your own application
You might remember every detail right after you've submitted the application, but in a couple of months, you will hardly remember your own words. To avoid confusion, revise everything one more time and take notes if needed.
- Be confident (or fake it till you make it)
Confidence is the most basic yet the most essential thing when it comes to an interview. Don't stress out, they've already liked you and your application, just let them do it in person.
- Think of questions you want to ask
A fellowship interview is not an exam, where you can only answer questions but not ask. Fellowship is designed for you, so you're a full-fledged participant of the interview. Prepare questions or ask, as a bonus to information, you'll feel more confident.
Fellowship Opportunities For Graduate Students
It's almost impossible to estimate the number of grad school fellowship programs, so obviously it's easy to get lost trying to select the one. To make the task easier, here are some of the most well-known and prestigious ones.
- The Leadership Incubator - is a fellowship program designed for women who are seen to be future community leaders. Week-long workshops, training, yearly access to online educational events, and partial funding of the participants' projects are included.
- European University Institute Policy Leader Fellowship - provides a 3 to 9 month-long fellowship that encompasses training, accommodation in Italy, discussions and skill-building events for those who are interested in international policy issues. Financial support of 2,500 euros included.
- Obama Foundation Fellowship - it was designed to bring up a generation of people who are concerned with bringing innovation to the civic domain. The fellowship lasts for 2 years and covers travel and project costs of its members.
If you're looking for institution-based fellowship programs, take a look at these ones:
- Harvard Medical School - offers a great opportunity for initiative physicians to fulfill their master's degree and implement projects on public health policy using a $50,000 grant.
- Bernard M. Baruch College, School of Public Affairs, City University of New York - an online fellowship program that allows students to get an MPA and a $25,000 grant to cover the professional development costs.
- University of California - the program aims to support postgrads in the social and life science domains by providing generous grants and offering valuable in-university experiences.
- University of New Orleans - minority representative students are welcome to pursue their STEM project implementation relying on $22,000 renewable grants.
- University of Washington - grads with a heart set towards marine research are welcome to apply and get access to all capacities of the University's marine laboratories.
To reach a wider range of programs available, visit these fellowship and grant institutional databases:
- The University of Chicago
- Yale University
- University of Rochester
- Cornell University Graduation School
- Drexel University
- University of Illinois Springfield
Key Fellowship Resources
A single article is obviously not enough when it comes to looking for a fellowship program. So here are a couple of useful resources, blogs, and additional fellowship offer lists you can visit for a wider fellowship knowledge base:
- Youthop
- Berkeley Career Center
- UNESCO Fellowships
- American Psychiatric Association: Fellowship Blog
- Rutgers School of Graduate Studies
Being a student or a graduate today means having a hundred different ways to develop both personally and professionally without spending huge sums. Dedication, enthusiasm, initiative, and a tiny bit of luck are all you need to have in order to make your way in the world. The thing is to see the opportunities and never surrender on the way to your dream.

The idea of colleges offering a bachelor's degree in three years is becoming increasingly popular as a way for colleges and students to save money. But in the United Kingdom, where three year undergraduate degrees are standard, they're trying to cut that down, too. According to an article in the Guardian:
The age of the traditional three-year degree could come to an end after universities were today ordered to devise two-year fast-track courses to cut the cost of higher education to students and the public purse.
Fast-track degrees were first mooted by Tony Blair in 2003 and a handful have since been piloted at five universities. Today's announcement puts them at the heart of the government's strategy to reorganise higher education in more austere times. In pilots, terms were extended by 10 weeks each year, with a more intensive teaching timetable. Two-year degrees give students the option to cut their debt by reducing fees but critics say students also lose out on the social aspects of being at university and time to mature in academia. The research intensive elite universities are sceptical of shortened degrees and have warned against compromising quality.
We have four and now we're working on three. The UK has three and now they're working on two. The online University of Phoenix apparently offers an associate's degree (generally two years) in five weeks. Well how many years does one really need anyway?
The attempt to save money and reduce waste is understandable but there's only so much that can be removed. Historically academic degrees were limited to the very rich or the very talented; the luxuriousness and the impracticality were the point. The UK's elite universities resist the government's efforts to cut their degree programs down to two years, saying that will compromise quality. It may just be inertia that makes schools resistant to change but they also have a point; one can't fast-track real scholarship.

Derision and desire: the ambivalence of Mexican identity in American literature and film
MetadataShow full item record
Concentrating on twentieth-century literature and film, the dissertation reads representations of Mexican identity in terms of the ambivalent points of repulsion and attraction which they reveal, rather than as simply "negative" or "positive" stereotypes. Drawing upon Homi Bhabha's analysis of stereotypical discourse, I interrogate the stereotype's limits in the Mexican subject's multiple representational postures. The stereotype's anxious repetitions demonstrate the impossibility of a fixed or original identity and expose the stereotype as part of a representational apparatus. Acknowledging the necessity of Chicano/a critiques of stereotypical discourse begun in the sixties, I depart from the insistence that stereotypes only negatively determine subjectivity and propose that seemingly negative depictions express desire as well as derision. The study places literature and film in conversation because, from its inception, the cinema has relied upon literature for its narrative and stereotypical tropes. Furthermore, by placing literature and film in comparative tension, I demonstrate the contradictions produced by "negative" stereotypes. I focus on the "greaser," bandido, and "bandit revolutionary," characters who appear in 1800s conquest fiction and endure in contemporary novels and films. In chapter one, the Mexican is a subject of admiration in Stephen Crane's short stories, and a subject of derision and desire in D. W. Griffith's early Westerns. Chapter two links the United States' response to the Mexican Revolution and the consolidation of the Western film genre as determinant events in the hardening of stereotypical discourse from 1910 to 1920. This hardening, nonetheless, is belied by an ambivalent relation to the Mexican subject, as the Western cowboy mimics the Mexican vaquero. Chapter three submits that the "bandit revolutionary" in 1930s to 1950s film signals repulsion and attraction, depending on the U.S. imaginary's psychic and ideological projections. From the perspective of Mexican American literature, Américo Paredes's The Shadow (1955), responds to the cinema's facile categorizations of Mexican identity. Chapter four positions Sergei Eisenstein's film, Qué Viva México! (1932), and Katherine Anne Porter's short story, "Hacienda" (1935), within an alternative poetics of Mexican identity representation. The concluding chapter, which examines Jim Mendiola's film, Come and Take it Day (2002), proposes contingency and hybridity as the defining elements of Chicano/a identity. Together, the texts I analyze exemplify the importance of seeing beyond negativity in racial representation.

I have always been drawn to the visual arts, specifically photography. Add to that the sensuous, addictive sound of a camera shutter clicking and it seemed natural that I would begin a journey leading to a career in photojournalism. Armed with a Rolleiflex borrowed from my father, I wandered the streets of Philadelphia with purpose, documenting life around me, finding complex faces much too fascinating to ignore and amassing stories in my lens for the telling.
Eventually, life took me in a different direction, and an exciting and long career in Floral and Event Design followed.
Now, through the surge of the digital age, I have returned to my roots in photography. The freedom of newly developed camera and computer technology has offered me the perfect stimulation which I find much too tempting to resist. My lifelong passion to capture and suspend moments in time continues, with an added inspiration to style them AS I IMAGINE IT. - Arlene Bluestein

United Changes Pet Policy After Dog Dies in Overhead Bin
United Airlines says the airline is changing its pet policy after the in-flight death of a French [...]
United Airlines says the airline is changing its pet policy after the in-flight death of a French bulldog puppy earlier this week.
Cataline Robledo and her 11-year-old daughter and 2-month-old son brought their family dog, Kokito, onto a flight from Houston to New York in a pet carrier. Robledo initially stored the carrier under the seat in front of her but was later told by a flight attendant to move it, with Kokito inside, to the overhead bin. Robledo resisted the direction but ultimately followed the flight attendant's instruction.
At the end of the flight, when Robledo retrieved her dog, who was heard barking at least 30 minutes into the flight, she discovered her pet had died during the trip.
"We have spoken to the family, our crew and a number of passengers who were seated nearby. We have learned that the customer did tell the flight attendant that there was a dog in the carrier. However, our flight attendant did not hear or understand her, and did not knowingly place the dog in the overhead bin," United spokesperson Maggie Schmerin told PEOPLE in a statement. "As we stated, we take full responsibility and are deeply sorry for this tragic accident. We remain in contact with the family to express our condolences and offer support."
Schmerin said the airline plans to change its pet travel policy to ensure something like that never occurs again.
"To prevent this from happening again, by April we will issue bright colored bag tags to customers traveling with in-cabin pets. This visual tag will further help our flight attendants identify pets in-cabin," Schmerin added in her statement to PEOPLE.
According to Department of Transportation, United has the highest rate of incidents involving loss, injury or death of animals during air transportation — 2.24 per every 10,000 animals transported.
United has experienced harsh backlash on social media following the death of the dog, with some people saying the airline "murdered" or "killed" the dog. Actress Olivia Munn, a vocal supporter of pet adoption, said she'll never fly with the airline again.
"I'll never fly United," Munn told TMZ. "I mean, if they can't take care of all their passengers and the animals, I mean, I don't think anyone should fly them."
The Department of Transportation has launched a federal investigation into the death of the puppy, with officials from the department announcing Wednesday that they were probing the incident.

Top-10 player excels at numbers game
Squash star Annie Au Wing-chi is often doing calculations - both on and off court. She is famous for knowing when to cleverly change the pace of a match or select a different type of shot to win a point.
Now she has begun doing sums of a different kind - adding up her average ranking points gained from tournaments - after she became the first Hong Kong-born player to break into the top-10 rankings in women's squash this month.
'People have the misconception that my ranking will only go up from now on - not drop down - but that's not the case,' says Annie, 22. She is ranked ninth in the world on 774.810 points - only just ahead of France's 10th-ranked Camile Serme, on 773.194 points.
'Nearly all the top players are really close to each other in terms of ranking points. That is why I'm always pressing the buttons of my calculator to see how my ranking will change if I reach a certain round. I just want to make sure my ranking won't fluctuate.'
Last year, Annie was ranked outside the world top 20 and not playing particularly well. But then last month she unexpectedly won an international tournament in Kuwait.
That victory proved the turning point - it inspired her to a second successive international title in France the same month and other impressive performances as she climbed the world rankings.
Being consistent is the secret to staying in the top 10, but Annie enjoys the added pressure this brings. 'If I've won a title the previous year, I will need to do equally well this year to defend my title. And if I performed badly last time, I know it is a good chance to improve and also grab more ranking points.'
Annie is aware that the world's top players are bunched close together in terms of ranking points. Two players, ranked 11th and 12th in the world, are only about 40 points behind her, while most of the eight players in front of her are more than 400 points ahead.
The exception is Annie's heroine, Nicol David, 27, of Malaysia, the world's number one player and world champion for the past three years. She is far ahead of everyone else; she has 3,348.750 points, while world number two Jenny Duncalf, of England, has 1,654.706 points.
'Nicol is my idol. She really is the toughest player I have ever seen,' says Annie. 'She hits the ball hard and moves as fast as a male player on court.
'It is hard to believe she is so far ahead of everyone else. That means she manages to produce consistently outstanding performances in all the major competitions.' Annie's unexpected success led her to delay taking the final year of her bachelor's degree in business administration at Hong Kong Polytechnic University this summer.
'My coach and I knew that I would get better results at last November's Asian Games in Guangzhou if I deferred my studies,' Annie says.
Her decision was vindicated when she won two silver medals. She lost to David in the women's singles final and again in the women's team final as Hong Kong lost out to Malaysia.
Annie still studies during her mid-day break, away from her daily training regime of running, weights and gym, and plans to graduate this time next year.
Her dream, apart from continuing to improve as a player, is to see squash become an Olympic sport. 'We were in the final two sports pushing for selection at the 2016 Olympics, but we lost out to golf,' Annie says.
'We need more support from the public and television coverage if we are to succeed. My wish is that the sport will be included in the 2020 Olympics, although by then I may be too old to play.'

Officials Vote To Restore Funding for New York City HIV/AIDS Youth Center
A group of HIV/AIDS service providers and government officials recently voted to continue funding for the Ali Forney Center, a Manhattan-based drop-in center that provides HIV testing, referrals and food for homeless gay young people, the AP/AOL News reports. The New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in September said it would not renew $600,000 in annual funding for the center because of economic conditions and a need for more efficient spending. According to the AP/AOL News, city officials decided funding would be better spent on housing for people living with HIV/AIDS rather than on the outreach and case management provided by the Forney center. Monica Sweeney of the health department said, "Difficult choices have to be made in these tough times," adding that "[n]o one or any program or any sector is going to be spared" from the financial downturn.
The city's decision to suspend funding for the Forney center prompted politicians -- such as Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.) and state Sen. Tom Duane (D-N.Y.) -- to urge officials to reconsider. The recent vote will allow the center to remain open, and funding will be provided under the Ryan White Program. The center, which has a budget of $4 million for 2008 to 2009, this year has tested more than 200 people between ages 16 and 24 for HIV, referred 50 HIV-positive young people to medical care and housing, and served more than 10,000 meals, Carl Siciliano, executive director of the Forney center, said. Siciliano said the young people who visit the center "are grossly underserved" in New York City, adding that the center is "the best ally and support they have. To take that away from them would have been cruel and reckless."
According to the AP/AOL News, other HIV service providers in New York City are "feeling the squeeze as the city tightens its belt," such as St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan, which is appealing the city's recent decision to suspend $200,000 in annual funding for its HIV treatment program. More than 100,000 people in New York City are HIV-positive (Franklin, AP/AOL News, 12/6).

Fans of the Chicago Cubs will never forget the 2016 World Series (or the subsequent championship parade), and MLB-sanctioned artist Opie Otterstad is doing his part to capture the memory of that historic series on canvas. Otterstad, who has created World Series celebration art for 15 consecutive years, will unveil a large collection of paintings and other works depicting the Cubs World Series victory in Chicago later this spring.
Cubs' Moments of Victory: The Exhibition will be on public display from April 8–30 at Narrative Gallery, located on the second floor of Water Tower Place. Otterstad will make special in-gallery appearances on April 8 (6–9pm) and April 9 (1–4pm). The appearance events are complimentary, but organizers recommend attendees RSVP at email@example.com or by calling 312-475-9620.
Although Cubs' Moments of Victory is more than a month away from opening, we pulled together some of the amazing paintings that will be displayed during the April exhibition. Take a look and remember one of the most exciting nights that Chicago has ever witnessed.

Ohio State, University District Organization partner to add full-time social worker to off-campus area
University social work students to gain valuable field experience
The Ohio State University is working with community partners to bring on a full-time social worker dedicated to helping housing-vulnerable people in the off-campus area. The hiring is one of several university initiatives designed to support the neighborhoods and residents surrounding Ohio State's campus.
Beginning this summer, a social worker from Southeast Healthcare will work in the off-campus area, with a special emphasis on North High Street, to provide outreach and offer resources and support to people who are homeless, housing insecure, or in need of other assistance. Southeast Healthcare, based in Ohio, has a long history of helping the state's most vulnerable populations.
While the social worker's coverage area includes campus itself, the person will focus on the adjacent University District area.
Offering proactive social service outreach in the University District is one of the recommendations made in Ohio State's Task Force on Community Safety and Well-Being. Since its inception in fall 2020, the task force has put forth 15 recommendations that include a variety of strategies, acknowledging that "safety" means different things to different people.
As a highly trained Licensed Independent Social Worker, the person will also supervise College of Social Work undergraduate and graduate students who are acquiring experience as part of their in-the-field training. These students will gain valuable knowledge and build connections to the community, while extending the reach and impact of the new University District social worker.
"There's a strong need for a dedicated professional to operate in the University District, and I'm thrilled that we can help meet it," said College of Social Work Dean Tom Gregoire. "Our students will benefit greatly from this initiative and get a personal view of the issues that can lead to housing vulnerability."
Once established, the social worker will work with community and university partners, including local businesses, law enforcement and students, staff and faculty, to get individuals help and assist with obtaining shelter and permanent supportive housing, counseling and treatment services. The social worker will make public their contact information to more easily connect with community members who may see someone who could use their services.
Ohio State continues to work to build a more empathetic community in the University District. Since February, for example, the Office of Student Life, through a grant from the Center for HumanKindness at the Columbus Foundation, has partnered with the College of Social Work and University District Organization to engage with people who are homeless or housing challenged in the North High Street area. Together, they've distributed 1,000 pairs of socks, hundreds of care bags and offered the services of a mobile health clinic operated by Southeast Healthcare. Ohio State has also partnered with the Reeb Avenue Center to distribute food vouchers and bus passes to those who need them.
The university has worked closely with the University District Organization on the new partnership. The nonprofit has helped to identify the needs of the off-campus community.
"Our partners in the University District have often asked how to best help the most vulnerable in the area," said Matt Hansen, executive director of the University District Organization. "Dedicating a social worker to work full-time with this population is a great step toward providing people services and assistance they may need."

While almost each one of us has been to Goa some time or another, those of you who are planning their debut holiday to this tropical haven, you have landed in the right place. We will tell you everything you need to know and cover during your first blast in the party paradise! From things to do in North Goa (you will know why we picked North Goa first) to sightseeing and shopping in general, it's on the list!
Let me tell you, Goa is not as small as it looks, it is in fact impossible to experience all of it on your first trip unless you are planning on a month long sabbatical. Goa is huge and is essentially divided into two parts- North Goa & South Goa. This blog is totally dedicated to the upbeat Northern part of the paradise and we strongly recommend you cover this side of Goa foremost on your first trip.
Here is an assorted travel regime for a binge adventure trip to the Northern bit of the state.
Let me tell you, Goa is not as small as it looks, it is in fact impossible to experience all of it on your first trip unless you are planning on a month long sabbatical. Goa is huge and is essentially divided into two parts- North Goa & South Goa. This blog is totally dedicated to the upbeat Northern part of the paradise and we strongly recommend you cover this side of Goa foremost on your first trip.
Here is an assorted travel regime for a binge adventure trip to the Northern bit of the state.
All things to do in North Goa infamously begin and end with the beaches! Baga, Anjuna, Calangute, Vagator are some of the most popular visited names. These four beaches are the most crowded and they are always up to some mischief. My personal favorite though is Vagator, its dark coloured sand with cryptic red cliffs that happens to welcome some of the best crowds in Goa. Head off to Calangute if you want to try out some water sports.
If you wish to take a break from the madness and want some quiet and beauty, one of the days, you can choose to visit Sinquerim, and Mandrem. Wait, did I forget to mention the must go-to spot- the Arambol beach, yes, you must come here to witness Goan sunset and sunrise at its best. Another interesting beach is the Morjim beach, one of the only two beaches in India that happens to be the nesting grounds for Olive Ridley sea turtles. So, now you know which ones to pick.
Goa is incomplete without a visit to some of its iconic forts and old feel churches. Tick off places like Aguada fort and its iconic lighthouse standing tall since the 17th century and Fort Chapora located in Bardez, Goa. . There is a lighthouse too, which was used in the ancient days to guide the vessels in the current.
Sightseeing and things to do in North Goa also must include a visit to a couple of churches namely- the 16th century Basilica of Bom Jesus that contains the remains of St. Francis Xavier and is listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Secondly, the St Cajetan church, located in the village of Assagao, Bardez, is a fine specimen of Baroque architecture. You will enjoy the vibes of both these churches.
Well, if you are inclined towards temple visits, there are some beautiful temples that line the district of Northern Goa. To name a few- you can visit the Mangeshi temple, Mahalakshmi temple, the Gopal Ganesh temple and Nagesh temple.
All right, let's move ahead from cultural visits and kick your vacay up a notch! If you didn't know, Goa is not just about sun, sand and the sea. Now, this might not be ideally in everybody's must list of things to do in North Goa, but let's see, if this peek your interest. If you didn't know, Goa is home to an awesome naval aviation museum which you can totally visit as a tourist for a thrilling sci-fi experience and then, maybe opt for a scuba diving session at Grande Island in Nagoa later in the day. And you thought Goa might not live up to its expectations?
If your nerves nerves are inkling you to head out to the sea without having to acquire much courage, you can quietly enjoy a banana boat ride at one of the beaches of North Goa. Kayaking at Bicholim Taluka is probably one of the joy rides you would enjoy the most with friends and family.
For intrepids, the Sinquerim and Grande beach offer great avenues for snorkelling, so maybe this is your chance to dive head on to the Arabian waves to witness some incredible marine life underneath the deep waters. Among other water sports to pump your heart beat, Jet skiing and parasailing will inevitably blow your mind.
Indulge In These Water Sports In Goa
When you are done with all the sea fun you could possibly take on during the day, why not experience something local and authentic in the evening? You read my mind right, its time to swoon away to the local tropical Goan beats during a must watch Goan cultural show. You may actually end up having much more fun than you imagined.
If you were a foodie like me, probably, trying fresh and juicy seafood in Goa would top your list of things to do in North Goa! The tropical climate of this hippie state makes the food here spicy and fiery. The local cuisine of Goa is highly influenced by the Portuguese culture due to their long lasting stay in Goa of more than 4 centuries. Rice and curries are the staple diet of the people here. I have managed to jot down some of the popular local dishes that definitely deserve a mouthful.
When in North Goa, not shopping is a sin! Yes, definitely makes it to the must things to do in North Goa. Lets begin with the most colorful and famous – Anjuna market, a sight to behold, especially on Wednesday evenings. Just as you walk down the beach, you can spot junk jewellery, oxidised trinkets, cotton sarongs, handbags, jute clutches, and other handicrafts made within Goa, all displayed to your right and left. With attractive food stalls, offering almost everything you are looking forward to eat when in Goa, this is truly a well blended paradise.
Near the Anjuna beach and market site, there is another market area, or as we call it in the country – 'a bazaar'. This market place is known as the Arpora Saturday market, since that is when it comes to life. But this bazaar is more about food and drinks. The Arpora market is more of a night market, and it stocks a wide range of display, ranging from local products to designer goods.
Apart from Anjuna and Arpora, the Mapusa market is also quite a catch, when in North Goa. Quite pulated by the locals, this chirpy market is open from Monday to Saturday, and you can buy yourself some cool Goan antiques, clothes, spices, fruits, artificial jewellery, and other sundry stuff. If you wanted to try local Goan cuisine, Friday is your best day to be here.
Nightlife in North Goa can be best defined as – ESTATIC & INSTATIABLE! There are ample of places to party, amazing clubs to hang out at and beer cafes to enjoy a nice chilled drink. Goa is for sure a paradise of clubs and discotheques. Some of the popular names are- Club Cubana, Café Mambos, Club Kamaki and Cape Town Café. From breweries to resort pubs to beach clubs, North Goa rewards you in plenty!
However, take out at least a couple of nights to spend time at the beach as this is where the real Goa puts its mask on. Only "the been there done that" can actually describe you the experience in its truest form. The vibes on the shore will not let you abandon the sea until the sun's up. Besides the food yeah, this one surpasses all my list of things to do in North Goa. Goa just comes alive and swoops the crowd along with its cosmic vibes that will keep you going on like forever. The Pine shack near Calangute and the Curlie's shack near Anjuna are the ones you must have your eyes on.
When you think, you have a had your big crazy scoop of fun at the shore, maybe you can now head to one of the offshore casinos that you keep hearing about all the time. Maybe place a bet or two if you have some dough spared essentially in mind for some luck along fun, who knows how much extra cash you might just return with by the end of the night. Just swear to yourself you won't get carried away if luck hits you at the table!
If you fancy a yacht experience, Goa will make it happen for you. Pick a luxury yacht or maybe hop onto one of the party cruises that"s lighting up with local music and dance aboard. So, you see, things to do in Goa might as well outrun your days that you may plan to cover. So, plan well and fair because Goa will hit you hard and wild! So, make it an affair crazy enough to remember. After all, what's life without a little crazy?
If you agree with my list of top things to do in North Goa, wait for my next post on South Goa!

Bear with me as I search for the right words to explain my thoughts on having a connection with God. Let me start by asking, have you ever gone out to your car, turned the key with full faith that it would start and to much surprise and usually panic, it doesn't start? Nothing! Battery is dead. Ugh! One of the worst feelings in the world. You are basically stuck. Well, that's how we are when we have no connection to God. We are pretty much left in panic mode; we now have to find someone with jumper cables to hopefully recharge the battery to get us moving again. Without our connection to our Almighty Savior, we can't move, are stuck, unable to go where we need to go; but, through Him, fully charged, nothing can stop us! Don't let your battery die; keep it always charged up for God. He is our jumper cables in times of despair!! Have a Blessed day!
Charged Up!

'Going to college ruined my life.' I have $85K in student loan debt for my 'useless degree' but only make $16 per hour. How can I cope?
I would give anything to go back and not go to college at all. It wasn't worth it.
Question: I am 32 and got my associates degree in occupational therapy. I owe $25,000 in federal student loans, and $60,000 in private loans with high interest — despite having my mom as a co-signer. I went to a great college: It was private and costly, but I have learning challenges they were able to accommodate. But I will never forget back in the beginning of 2018, my professors told me that by the time my classmates and I graduated, we would likely struggle to get jobs because of changes in the profession. Well, they were right. And of course after I took out these huge loans, it was too late to fix it.
I graduated, the pandemic hit, jobs were scarce, and despite looking and applying for whatever I could for almost two years, it didn't matter. So now I'm going on eight years at my job in a group home where I'm paid $16 an hour. I work over 50 hours a week sometimes, and also support a severely disabled adult who is 100% financially dependent on me. I'm barely making it paycheck to paycheck as it is.
I feel like I will never be able to afford my payments, even if I find higher-paying work. I feel like I have a useless degree at this point. I would give anything to go back and not go to college at all. It wasn't worth it. My credit score plummeted from missing one payment, and I already have a mountain of other bills I owe to credit cards and medical bills. I literally am trapped by these loans. I have no payment options that would ever pay them off and refinancing is not an option because my credit score is so low. (Note: For those with private loans and a good credit score, these are the lowest student loan refinancing rates you might be able to qualify for.) I can't afford legal help. I'm trapped. Going to college ruined my life.
Answer: Private student loan borrowers, unfortunately, have fewer safety nets than those with federal student loans, but the first step you should take with your private loans is to contact your lender about temporarily lowering your payments or negotiating a new repayment timeline, pros say.
That may or may not provide the relief you need, so pros say to look elsewhere too. "You could benefit from loan-specific advice from The Institute of Student Loan Advisors (TISLA) or from one-on-one financial counseling by someone certified by the National Foundation for Credit Counseling (NFCC)," says Anna Helhoski, student loan expert at NerdWallet. TISLA is a non-profit organization that offers free advice for student loan borrowers and the NFCC is a non-profit financial counseling organization that offers debt management plans, student loan counseling, credit report reviews and more.

Andrew Pentis, certified student loan counselor and higher education finance expert at Student Loan Hero, also says it's wise to consider the option of enrolling in a debt management plan with the assistance of a nonprofit, low-fee credit counseling agency. "This way, they will have one monthly payment instead of several and could even see a reduction in their interest rates," says Pentis. "On the downside, a debt management plan would suspend their ability to borrow during that three-to-five-year span, and it would take even longer after the fact to build a positive credit file," says Pentis.
For your federal student loans, look at an income-driven repayment plan (you can see the four types here), which "sets your monthly student loan payment at an amount that is intended to be affordable based on your income and family size," the government notes. Then, often, after 20-25 years, depending on the plan, the loans will be forgiven.
Something else to consider is the Borrower Defense Loan Discharge Program for federal loans, which helps borrowers who were misled by their schools. "If the reader believes that their occupational therapy school misled her about her job prospects, before the professor pointed out reality, and she has some documentation to that effect, it could be possible to discharge some or all of the federal loan debt," says Pentis. Borrower Defense rules have ebbed and flowed with every change in the Department of Education, but the most recent changes make it easier for distressed borrowers to qualify, specifically because in March 2021, the Department announced it would be streamlining the program's approval process to deliver $1 billion dollars in relief to 72,000 borrowers.
It's also worth noting that President Biden recently extended the pause on federal loans until at least Aug. 31.
Bankruptcy may be an option, but you would have to find a way to afford the lawyer, and student loan debt is often very hard to discharge in bankruptcy. Because funds are already tight, you may want to ask friends or family to help pay a lawyer's fees, work out a payment plan with an attorney, or even seek out a lawyer who practices pro bono. But Pentis says, "Bankruptcy might not be the fresh start that it's often imagined to be, as it's not guaranteed to discharge 100% of a consumer's debt. It will also severely damage their credit report and score for years to come." While not the ideal solution, ultimately, if your low income, dependent responsibilities, and medical strains make it impossible to pay off a student loan and any other debt, bankruptcy could yield some measure of much-needed relief.
Bottom line: "There's no quick fix or an easy solution, unfortunately — but there are resources to help you cope and keep afloat," says Helhoski.
Questions edited for clarity and brevity.

Have you ever struggled with feeling like no matter how strategic or beautiful your designs are, you still aren't making a lasting impact in your client's business? A few years ago, I ran across the idea of creating a sunshine folder and it has made a world of difference on days that I need a mindset shift!
Do you have a sunshine folder? If not, you need one!
I know the name is a little cheesy, but it's one of my favorite tools for the hard days.
A sunshine folder is a place where I store all of the sweet things my clients say.
Here's how it works – when a client says something really kind, screenshot their message and put it in your sunshine folder! Do this every time you receive a message that warms you up inside.
When you feel like you "can't do it anymore" (which as an entrepreneur will happen eventually), take a few minutes to read through that folder. It's the best way to remind yourself of the impact you're making on your clients!
I've been building my sunshine folder for a while and it's honestly been one of the best mindset shifting tools I use.
I was fired by a client for the first time last year. As you can guess, I used my sunshine folder QUITE a bit in the following weeks! When I focused on the positive I realized the 14/15 clients were thrilled with their time with me.
This mindset shift allowed me to view a potentially devastating moment as a learning opportunity. Not every client is a good match for you, and that is totally OKAY!
Here are a few of the ways I regularly use my folder to help me shift my mindset:
Message me on Instagram and let me know when you decide to start your sunshine folder. I would love to send you a note to put in it!

My Name (A Short Narrative)
November 3, 2019
As the cold humid air dampened my skin, foreign noises made their way through the cracks of my Taiwanese house. Outside, food vendors bargained in an exotic language that failed to resonate in my ears. The scent of an unaccustomed dim sum dishes permeated the air. In my new kitchen, a white index card lay on the table, awaiting my arrival. There, inscribed by my father, three elegant Chinese characters spanned across the white backdrop.
This was my new name.
The lines curved with ease, stopping and curling to form markings and symbols. It was almost like a picture of myself painted into three elegant characters. After my move to Taiwan, I was inundated by an alien culture. My grandmother preemptively chose three Chinese characters, casually handing me a new identity. As I examined and repeated it in my mind, I was intrigued by the dashes, dots, and linear slashes forming my name. Yet there was an emptiness conveyed without a systemic alphabet. It felt funny to hear three brusque monosyllables grab my attention, almost catching me off guard. Its weight slithered away like water; they were just beautiful characters I wrote on the inside cover of my third-grade textbooks, across my yellow rain boots, and beneath the illustrations of the comics I drew.
Up until this point, I had woken up to the dry summer breeze and my mother's English phonics workbooks. On the neat lines of my 1st-grade name tags, I had written in big, bold letters "NATHAN", never stopping to think of American culture as my habitual routine.
However, due to my grandfather's exacerbating illness, my parents decided to move back to Taiwan to support the family. As everything I had known began to slowly fade, my parents urgently stuffed my childhood memories into cardboard boxes. I was going "home."
While the perpetual winter typhoons ceaselessly pelted the island, so too did my new culture continually erode the old. Those around me – relatives, Taiwanese classmates, and even my parents – began to call me by my Chinese name. Hearing the Mandarin intonation, I pictured someone different, a person I had never before met. Yet, I was somehow still there, just with different shoes to fill.
Change became even more of a constant. Without an American International School, I was forced to assimilate into Taiwanese norms and traditional public elementary school. Both my parents often worked late at night and were not able to accompany me right after school. One day, anxious to treat myself with an episode of SpongeBob Square Pants, I couldn't wait. I decided to traverse my way home alone as a ten-year-old. The 25-minute journey extended through an intimidating maze of a subway system and into the world of ferocious buses. But through those moments of solitude, I was exploring the little island; it was a chance to gaze over the swaying palm trees, to catch sight of Taipei 101 in the far horizon, to navigate my way home on a "treasure hunt."
In the classrooms of XiSheng Elementary, my teacher traced characters on the chalkboard, tossing me new vocabulary, new ways to describe the world. Too mesmerized by innumerable characters to learn, I could hardly remember the months of singing "The Alphabet Song" and tracing English letters onto white linen paper.
As I flipped through the girded squares, a series of dotted lines hinted of vague familiarity. I could imagine myself copying the verb "yo sheng" in Chinese. As its diagonal patterns registered within my mind, I, unknowingly, was copying down the verb "to grow," "to rise": the very characters of my name. It was then that I realized a greater meaning staffed within those slashes and curves. Giving significance, my grandmother had predestined life of evolution. It was almost as if those three elegant characters carried me through those long trips home after school, letting me enjoy the beautiful city view in moments of intimidation. Its symbols embodied my willingness to embrace the quirks of the Chinese language: to step into new shoes as if nothing had happened.
Every time my Taiwanese classmates yelped for me or when I habitually wrote my name on every homework page. I was reminding myself of a life long journey: one in perpetual motion, never yielding to structure.
Upon my move back to the US in 5th grade, with my half-forgotten English, I took the same spirit to grow out of discomfort. When my father moved back again to Taiwan, his absence left a gap for me to fill again. In school, when a calculus proof triggered a roadblock within my mind, I think of days journeying back from that Taiwanese elementary school, how it's all just like a "treasure hunt."
Those three elegant characters hold real weight. Here is my name – growth.

This time I did not forget the anniversary of my blog, unlike last year when I nearly did!
And this time, since it's the second anniversary, I'm going to write not one but two commemorative posts!
You know, it still amazes me how I've persisted this long. While two years may seem like a drop in the ocean of time, especially when you think of other milestones in life like surviving college, building a career, or saving for your first car, I think it's definitely a milestone I have every right to sing about with pride.
To have blogged for 24 months straight is no mean feat. In fact, this is now looking less and less like some leisurely passing phase, and more and more like a life-long passion project.
Yes, the first seven months or so might have been slow (like three-to-four-posts-a-month slow). But since January 2020, I've been faithfully blogging at least twice every week.
Awesome right?
I even added a new element last November: weekly poetry writing! Of course, I must be honest; those ditties can't really be called poetry, so I call them "My Monday Metrical Musings" instead. Cos (you guessed it!), they're uploaded every Monday.
And I even started reviewing books and films I enjoyed, and which resonated with the four themes of my blog.
These themes have been my blog's cornerstone content since the beginning. Every Saturday, I blog on the themes of Autism and Parenting; every Wednesday, Writing and Life.
Now as I stand at the cusp of my next two and (hopefully) more years of blogging, I'm confident there's no lack of things to learn and share here as I move forward.
So to celebrate this happy anniversary, let's revisit two of those themes today and why I strongly believe they have longevity on my blog. (Next week in Part 2 of this commemorative, I'll touch on the other two themes)
1. Autism blog
From the start, autism was the inspiration for this blog site; or I should say, my moderately autistic son C was.
Without him, I would never have understood how sheltered I had been and how little I knew of his "unseen world". A world inhabited by those like C, with invisible disabilities but visible needs for love and inclusion.
A world where dwells many folks I used to ignore or didn't know existed.
For if I'm dead honest, I've been guilty in my past for joining ignorant, "evil scoffers", who took potshots at people who talked/dressed/behaved differently. To these denigrates (and me) I now say, "Shame on you! Grow up and do better!"
But I refuse to view my misguided past as proof I should hide under a rock in shame and remorse. In fact, it is with this hindsight that I now feel I must make up for lost time. I must help advocate for my son and others like him to be accepted and included in society. And to do so together with other like-minded caregivers in similar or more challenging circumstances.
Most of all, to try and "walk my talk".
So my awareness, acceptance, and advocacy for autism and other special needs must evolve in tandem with my son's continued growth and development.
Meaning I'll have more to learn, share and advocate for in the coming years.
And by extension, more to blog about.
2. Parenting blog
Next up is my ongoing journey as a parent, which is arguably the world's longest and most challenging lesson. Meaning that, just like autism, I've no shortage of stuff to blog about!
In particular, my decision some three years ago to stop full-time work and go freelance in order to be a stay-home dad has placed me in the rawest and most vulnerable of positions to make mistakes and learn from them.
If ever there was an adventure for a father, this would surely qualify!
Especially when we live in a world that still views fatherhood and masculinity in "outdoorsy, bring-home-the-bacon" terms.
You're not a father if you're not
– the main breadwinner;
– the king of your castle;
– the head honcho in your household;
– calling the shots with your wife and kids.
You're not a man if you're not
– the DIY fix-it guy;
– "wearing the pants";
– toughing it out no matter the odds;
– shedding blood, only tears.
See the insidious pattern of destructive thinking entrenched for millennia?! Any wonder history is replete with examples of flawed fathers (both famous and fictional), who were never around when they were most needed?
I had one, and I suspect you might have too.
So to defy HIStory, I must continue chronicling my raw and unfinished journey as a father and a parent for many more posts to come. As a counterpoint to those horrid narratives aforementioned, and to figure this whole business out as I go along.
Or die trying!
And having figured it out (or more likely, not!), amass and bequeath whatever humble experience I've gotten unto these blog posts as gifts to my sons and other fathers-to-be who care to listen.
Before I belly-up!
Still with me? Great!
Come back here again in a week's time for Part 2 of this commemorative alright?
That's when I run through my other two blog themes and where I see them going in the years ahead.
Can't wait!
Meantime, let me say it again: YEAH ME!
(*super big grin*)

The Lawrence University Men's Hockey team is in a place it hasn't found itself much: first place. The Vikings added to their success last weekend with a sweep of Northland College.On Friday the Vikings and the Lumberjacks each dominated one of the first two periods.
The Vikings opened the scoring with Ryan Blick's 12th goal of the year. After a Lumberjack goal, and Andy Rozanski's ninth on the year, Blick added number 13 on the power play. The Vikings led 3-1 after the first period.
The second period was all Northland. They scored three goals in the second, including MCHA Freshman of the Week Ryan Pott's second of the game. The Lumberjacks led 4-3 going into the third, but the Vikings would dominate again in the third period.
Captain and MCHA Player of the Week Matt Melchiori scored the game-tying goal about three minutes into the third period. It was his eighth of the season.
Then seven minutes later he found Mike Burkhart for his ninth of the year, and what would be the game-winning goal. Brad Barton added an insurance goal with four minutes left, and the Vikings escaped with a 6-4 win.
The next afternoon, the Vikings started slow, but again busted out big in the third period. Paul Melchiori started the scoring for the Vikings in the first period. His brother, Matt, had one of his two assists for the game on this goal.
The eventual game winning-goal would be scored on a fluke goal in the second period. The Vikings were shorthanded, and Mike Kennedy was just dumping the puck down into the Lumberjack end. Unfortunately, the puck flew past Northland goalie Andrew Kragness and into the goal to put the Vikings up 2-0.
In the third the Vikings scored three goals in a span of five minutes to coast to the win. Scoring for the Vikings was Andy Link, Paul Melchiori with his second of the game, and Aaron Graber. MCHA Goalie of the Week Daniel Ljung also led the Vikings. His two wins bring his record on the year to 8-7.
The sweep puts the Vikings back on top of the MCHA and sets up a critical series this weekend for the Vikings. They will host second place Marian at the Appleton Family Ice Center this weekend.
Captain Melchiori put it this way, "We have to play our best two games of the season. Since we beat Marian earlier in the year they've improved quite a bit." The Vikings split a series with the Sabres earlier in the year down in Fond du Lac.
The Sabres are trailing the Vikings by one point in the MCHA standings, but have two games in hand. That is why this series is so big for the Vikings.
Melchiori likes his chances this weekend. "But if we play up to our ability, we should be able to come out of this weekend with a couple of wins," he says. "We will need all four of our lines to play soliddefense and hopefully we can get a few goals from every line this weekend. If that happens we will win."
The Vikings are having their best season in school history this year. Their win over Northland Saturday set a new record for most wins in a season. Melchiori feels as though the team has gelled together this year more then in the past.
"I think the main reason we are succeeding this year is that everyone is willing to work much harder this year than in years past, and we are more focused on our goals for the season," he says. "We are winning the games we are supposed to win."
After this weekend's series against Marian, the team will have a series against MSOE and a non-conference series against Minnesota school Hamline University.
Melchiori is confident about they way the Vikings will play down the stretch and its playoff implications:
"We have six regular season games left, and we would like to win out. That will give us the conference championship and the number one seed in the conference tournament. From there we will work towards the goal we've been working on all season: Lawrence's first MCHA tournament championship."
The Vikings would like the first seed, because that will assure them a first round matchup against either MSOE or Northland, who they have dominated this season. A second place finish means a first round game against UM-Crookston, the host school of the MCHA tournament and a team the Vikings have split with twice this season.
The games this weekend will be Friday and Saturday night at the Appleton Family Ice Center, with face-off at 7:30 p.m. both nights.

As we face climate change, everyone is encouraged to reduce their impact on the environment. In this blog, we address the definition of sustainability, look at developments in the industry and what technological solutions help you to be more sustainable in your operations.
What even is sustainability?
The impact of a business isn't measured in dollars and cents alone – it's also measured in the role the company plays in changing the world for the better. Sustainability can be defined as: "the ability to not harm the environment or deplete natural resources thereby supporting long-term ecological balance." For the supply chain, this often means investing in technology that enables the business to make smarter, greener decisions. This technology can happen within the four walls (like going paperless) or on a larger scale (like carefully planning truck routes to reduce emissions).
What effects does this have on the supply chain?
Until recently, sustainability initiatives have been focused on the manufacturing end of the supply chain. Now the spotlight is on distribution and transportation, and the measures those companies can enact to reduce their ecological impact.
Many large companies, like Coca-Cola, Procter and Gamble, and Siemens have made public promises to become more eco-friendly. These companies expect their first-tier suppliers to comply with those standards as well. They ask those suppliers, in turn, to ask their suppliers—who ideally ask the same from their suppliers. This creates a ripple effect of sustainability which has a positive environmental impact.
In addition to pressure from customers, there is also pressure from governmental agencies. The Paris Agreement was signed by 195 countries, all pledging to take steps toward sustainable, low-carbon policies. This global agreement puts pressure on supply chains to significantly reduce their carbon footprint, with a tentative timeline of being carbon neutral by 2030.
Consumers are also making changes in buying behavior, as they seek products and vendors that support the initiatives they believe in. This impacts companies in B2C markets (where consumers drive behavior) but has a significant impact in the B2B space as well. Businesses are looking to work with vendors that are not only supportive of sustainability initiatives, but also taking steps to be sustainable themselves.
Questions you might be asking yourself:
How can technology help?
There are several options you have how technology can support your endeavor to become more sustainable. Find a few examples which our solution offerings cover below.
Supply chain network design:
When looking for a new distribution building, you should consider ways to minimize transport to and from it. When warehouses are closer to cities and other access hubs, trucks travel less distance, and workers can use public transport to get to work. Taking into consideration everything that makes your business unique, our supply chain network design solution will help you determine optimal locations for new warehouses.
The best use of space is often vertical but manual labor cannot always efficiently use it in a warehouse. Employing automation solutions can allow warehouses to maximize the space they have by optimizing all of it - vertically as well as horizontally.
Voice solutions:
With voice, teams will receive all instructions from a headset instead of a paper pick list. This not only removes the cost and waste of paper but also handheld devices, printer, and ink purchases. The voice devices are built for the warehouse, which means they can survive drops and dings without needing repairs. This results in less packaging and shipping to the repair center and back.
Hardware options:
Bluetooth beacons use Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) to perform proximity detection that alerts users when a social distancing violation is about to occur. This is a lightweight, wearable hardware solution that does not require integration into a warehouse management system or warehouse execution system.
Transportation Management Systems:
Reorganizing transport networks can pay dividends economically and environmentally. Our transportation management systems can help provide the information to do just that. Changing distribution centers and sharing loads can reduce empty mileage and therefore emissions for the same cargo volume.
Our Marine Enterprise System can help companies with shipping vessels stay sustainable:
Marine vessels are one of the largest sources of pollution in the ocean and have a large focus on reducing emissions as much as possible. Our Marine Enterprise Suite helps reduce the time spent idling in ports by enhancing port scheduling, helping limit pollution.
Cloud hosting:
When you deploy your supply chain solutions in the cloud, they significantly decrease the power necessary to run a warehouse with an on-premise solution. A cloud platform deployed regionally or globally can reduce the number of servers and back-up systems required. Utilizing an energy efficient datacenter ensures less electricity to run the system. Autonomous mobile robots (AMRs):
The idea of "dark" (with limited human input) warehouses is relatively new. A warehouse can run more efficiently by subsidizing their workforce with AMRs during their regular shifts. Adding a dark third shift greatly reduces power needed to run the shift.
Finally, Warehouse Management Systems (WMS):
Sometimes changing strategies is the key to becoming sustainable and having a WMS that can adapt along with your business is key. Rather than using dedicated distribution centers for the different fulfillment channels, you may seek to take on an omnichannel approach. This will require substantial change, and rely on the WMS to stay reliable, flexible, and scalable. The WMS can also optimize space usage, helping reduce footprint and save on transport.
Körber's supply chain solutions enable you to have a more positive impact through increased sustainability. Our advanced software and automation technologies deliver efficiency that helps cut energy waste in warehouses and empty miles on the road. Working with Körber allows you to efficiently grow your global footprint while shrinking you carbon footprint. And it's important to note that inevitably, sustainability initiatives reduce cost, too. Efficient energy and reduced consumption means less investment in the long run.
Software Solutions are designed to help manufacturing and distribution organizations to maximize space, improve efficiencies and increase productivity across the business.
Manufacturing and distribution organizations know that automation can improve efficiencies, maximize space and increase productivity across their supply chains.
Körber's voice, vision and mobility solutions will help you to reengineer and improve your processes while optimizing business efficiency.
In an environment where speed, efficiency and precision are everything, robotics are key. Körber's suite of robotic solutions respond to today's supply chain demands, optimizing your floor operations, transportation, processing, fulfillment and staff safety.
