Decisioning and AI
goodbye disjointed interactions
hello AI-driven decisioning
Decisioning Canvas
Personalisation democratised
The complexity of existing decisioning tools limits access to a select few. The result? Teams can't work together. Campaigns take months to roll-out. Projects are unstrategic. Boxever's "decisioning canvas" changes all that with an intuitive, structured interface that empowers everyone to design the models that will drive personalised interactions.
Whether using simple tables or "drag and drop" charts, all your teams will have the best possible view of how your decisioning is configured. Closer collaboration. Quicker optimisation and deployment.
Predictive modelling
Power where you need it
Gone are the days when predictive models are held back by a host of unconnected systems, slow databases and incomplete data. Engage makes it easy to build, run and score predictive models in one place. Users can create models on the fly using decision tables or go deeper with programmable models.
Alternatively they can build bridges to models hosted elsewhere. Whatever way they're created, your models will be supercharged with the most granular data possible and updated in real-time.
Next best action
More meaningful engagement
It's no longer just about "the sell". Just communicating with customers doesn't cut it anymore: you have to engage with them on a human-level, offering value on their own terms. Boxever Decisioning helps you step beyond mere recommendations by intelligently selecting actions across all channels – including those that cross the digital divide – that build deeper engagement and real relationships.
Whether it's offering a meeting with a sales advisor, assistance with an application or advice on a specific event, the possibilities to guide customers through a bespoke journey are endless.
Personalisation Engine Magic Quadrant
Boxever recognised by Gartner
Boxever is a Niche player in Gartner's Personalisation Engine Magic Quadrant, and one of the top vendors out of hundreds of personalisation and CX tools. Read how we made it possible by focusing on Decisioning and providing the expertise, capability and flexibility our customers need.Read article
Centralised AI and machine learning
All your AI, under one roof
Delivering consistent omni-channel customer experiences depends on one thing more than any other: connected AI. But here's the thing: most businesses today don't have it. Their tech stacks don't allow it. Their AI is isolated, disconnected from their data and decisioning.
The result? Personalisation with the handbrake on. Boxever removes the shackles by creating "bridges" to all your AI solutions and bringing them together in one, centralised place. It's AI unlimited.
Dataset integration
Data unlimited
Your decisioning is only as good as the data available to it. It needs the right information at the right time. Boxever takes your decisioning further by removing all limits on the datasets you can bring into your models. If your model needs extra data such as availability or pricing, it will retrieve it for you – in real time – while your model is running.

This one is the second of the 4 colors I bought. This is a beautiful black, light weight silk crepe.. i decided to do a simple kimono sleeve blouse again, with the sleeve ending at elbow length.
I stabilized the outline of the garment with silk organza as usual. I cut it in the bias for curved seams and straight grain for the straight seams. It really works wonders, but the only problem is that the silk organza i have is a very stiff one. The shop did have a softer one, and somehow i bought this. So if the the garment is unlined, then the organza tapes that i put on the seam line gets very scratchy…
I didn't line this one, basically because i was lazy, and i also didn't have any good lining fabric. (Would hate to use polyester)
I know this is a silly pose but i wanted to show the kimono sleeve a lil better.
There are no closures for this top. Its a pretty simple top except for the sequin trim I've used. That trim is quite expensive. I bought it in commercial street, and apparently its sold only by the yard!! I was trying to do the conversion in meters and i think he pulled a fast one on me..Next time I'm carrying a conversion chart..
I laid the trim on the shoulder seam after it was all stitched up. I stitched it and then cut off the fabric underneath. (Like a lace insertion)
So there you go. Second one done..

text: A MarketTrends Special Report by Colin Cieszynski, Market Analyst, CMC Markets Ahead of Blackberry's Q4 results, Colin Cieszynski looks at how a turbulent 12 months has impacted its performance and strategy, and its future prospects. Within the report Colin discusses: • The expectations of Blackberry ahead of their results on Friday • What went wrong for Blackberry in the past 12 months • How the appointment of John Chen as CEO has helped Blackberry's share to slightly recover • What traders will be looking for from management, including plans for the future and whether the company will be sold off A very difficult fiscal year for Blackberry ended on February 28th and this Friday we will get the results and a look into where the company may be heading going forward. For Q4, the company is expected to report a GAAP loss of $0.69 per share on revenues of $1.11 billion. The numbers for this quarter may once again be distorted by any remaining write-downs the company's new management may want to get out of the way as it cleans house and gets ready for the new fiscal year. Between the disastrous BB10 launch, the failed sale of the company, huge write-offs of unsold merchandise and another big management shakeup, it seemed that everything that could possibly go wrong from Blackberry did - in spades. Lurching from crisis to crisis over the last year weighed heavily on the shares, which dramatically underperformed their peers over the last year. Source: CMC Markets Next Generation platform In recent months, however, the shares have started to recover. The appointment of John Chen as CEO and the back to basics approach backing away from the consumer business to focus on its core corporate, government and defence markets where nothing but a Blackberry will do has been well received by the street. Blackberry has also benefitted from competitor moves that highlighted the value of the company's biggest previously hidden asset, the Blackberry Messaging service (BBM) and Facebook paying $19 billion to purchase WhatsApp, a competitive service, reignited interest in Blackberry. The company has taken steps to make BBM available on more platforms and one thing traders may be looking for from management will be what plans they have to grow this business and if they are looking to dress it up and spin or sell it off. Source: CMC Markets Next Generation platform The main themes of this quarter's results are likely to be transition and cleaning house. Last week, Blackberry announced it has agreed to sell most of its Canadian real estate holdings and finalized a number of previously announced layoffs. Now that the new management team has been in place for a few months and has had a chance to get the lay of the land, their outlook and plans for the company may also be closely scrutinised. Last quarter and this quarter are the honeymoon where expectations are low, but looking ahead to next quarter and beyond, the street may be starting to look for tangible signs of a turnaround.

"I don't want stories," when it should be, "I don't want excuses." The receiver goes away only to return with "stories" to tell as "excuses." If she does not have any "stories," she manufactures one at least, because the instruction her boss gave made her believe that she can dress up excuses in the garb of stories. And when an occasion demands that she tells a story, she cannot. The damage had been done, by the belief that grew from an accumulation of misdirected messages delivered in the wrong style.
That is why in some corporate organizations, they have style codes for business communications that bans the use of clichés and colloquial expressions. The aim is to put the message across correctly in its proper context and avoid excuses. An excuse in the real sense is not a story. But it can be delivered as a story. And the way such messages are communicated now can make you derail and treat excuses as stories.
They are clearly different. You know it. And when we mix them up, and there is demand for us to tell stories, we hedge, thinking it means giving excuses. More damage is done and our business suffers. When it comes to delivering precise communications in content and structure, the military is the best. Soldiers are at their best in radio communications. They keep saying, "Over! Over! The Labour Congress rally did not hold at the stadium….I repeat, the rally did not hold at the stadium." Why the repetition in military communications?
They want to get the message right. Excuses are not tolerated in the military and their communications make that clear. That is why most communications in the military are commands. And you must obey! No excuses.
What are the lessons for the corporate world and storytellers? Your business does not need "excuses," but it definitely needs "stories." Not promotional slogans, but real marketing stories to persuade the market. This is the latest mantra that is driving marketing communications.
Do not shut out your need for stories believing they are excuses. You are mistaken. Stories are real and effective communication tools, which you can use at minimal costs to drive your marketing. Storytelling in business sense goes beyond issuing press releases or addressing press conferences. Move ahead of your competitors by transforming your staff into corporate storytellers. They become executives who are trained in information management, and can use such information to sell your products and services in the mass media. That way, you make corporate and brand information flow to the marketplace easier, quicker and better.
In advanced economies, using stories to sell instead of advertising has been elevated to an art branded, corporate storytelling. And professional corporate storytellers are fully booked for jobs.
"I don't want stories." No arguments. But watch out and change your vocabulary to, "I don't want excuses," else the story of your business failure will be told. If you do not want stories, your audience, clients, customers, regulators, investors and other stakeholders want them. They want to know who you are, how you operate, what is happening, what your plans are, how you are managing their investments, and how you are complying with regulations.
They are the people who want stories, not you. You job is to give it to them. Now the last take: if you use stories to relate with the marketplace, you will be transformed. If you do not, you will be deformed. Happy storytelling.

Did you miss yesterday's terrific performance by the India Women's Cricket team? Here's a recap.
India defeated Pakistan at Derby, England, in ICC Women's World Cup.
This was the third successive win in the tournament for Skipper Mithali Raj and her squad after England and West Indies,
The Indian team made 169/9 intercepting Pakistan at 74 runs only.
A brilliant bowling attack completely changed the course of the game which started with four early wickets by Ekta Bisht and Jhulan Gosswami.
Ekta Bisht's 5-wicket haul proved to be crucial as Pakistan got ousted by India winning the match by 95 runs.
Gentleman's game did you say?

Munich Re is best placed among reinsurers to manage the re/insurance cycle, said the investment firm
Top tier reinsurers Munich Re and Hannover Re have embraced low margin, low volatility growth with a low Solvency II capital cost, according to investment analysts Jefferies.
Meanwhile peers such as French reinsurer Scor are steering clear of such a strategy due to the high S&P rating capital cost, Jefferies concluded in a re/insurance sector outlook called "growing pains".
"One of 2018's enduring mysteries for us has been the material divergence in growth rates between the German reinsurers and their global tier 1 peers," Jefferies said.
Jefferies' analysts came up with their answer to that question after "an illuminating Paris investor day and subsequent discussions".
Munich Re is in the best position among the reinsurers to weather the rating storm and manage the present insurance cycle, according to Jefferies.
"The group has by far the lowest leverage in the sector, meaning that should catastrophe losses surge, it will be one of the few industry participants capable of rapidly re-capitalising to invest into a hard market," Jefferies said.
Moreover, based on an estimated €4.8bn of excess reserves, Munich Re's property and casualty (P&C) reinsurance earnings "should in our view be capable of outlasting peers in this cycle", the investment firm added.
Pricing is to be stable at best at the upcoming 1 January 2019 reinsurance renewals, Jefferies speculated, struggling to maintain the slight overall gains seen in the past year.
That is unless recent catastrophe losses can create another disappointing second half for reinsurers' earnings.
"Given that 1/1/2018 was already slightly disappointing after such a magnitude of losses in 2017, a lack of rate rises in 2019 will mean that it is debatable whether the industry will be paid back for their 2017 losses in anything like a reasonable time frame," said Jefferies.
"Thus, although we do not necessarily expect a return to soft markets in 2019, it does dampen our enthusiasm for the sector," the outlook added.
At the previous renewal, Jefferies said it had failed to appreciate the impact of differing capital treatments under Europe's Solvency II capital regime and rating agency S&P's credit rating model.
This has represented "the deciding factor" in determining which reinsurers could most attractively price business, the firm said.
"Crucially, while under Solvency II the volatility of business is a key factor in determining the capital cost, under S&P's credit rating model the premium volume is relatively more material. In the context of 2018 growth this difference became critical, as we understand that most organic growth came from just a handful of very large quota share agreements, with high premiums but low margin and low volatility," said Jefferies.
The Solvency II capital cost is a key question for Hannover Re and Munich Re, according to Jefferies.
"In the case of the German reinsurers, their longstanding "AA-" rating from S&P means that large quota share agreements can be written at a low margin because the Solvency II capital cost is low," the investment analyst said.
Parisian rival Scor runs closer to the S&P capital requirement, according to Jefferies.
"By comparison, although Scor would be able to write these contracts for a similar Solvency II cost, the fact that the group has only relatively recently been upgraded to "AA-" means that credit rating requirements are a more critical limitation than Solvency II," the analyst added.
The investment firm also had a word to say on the future of reinsurance. "Going forward, we expect that the expense of equity backed, human underwriting will be directed to specialist risks, such as large corporate, luxury motor or facultative property," Jefferies said.
The firm expects the most relevant reinsurers will actively guide their clients, perhaps through a broker, to the most cost effective and relevant reinsurance solution.
"Thus, reinsurers would implement an account management model, where they advise clients on how to channel different risks to different forms of capital, be it a securitisation, a specialist fund, or the reinsurer's own equity backed balance sheet," Jefferies added.

Catalonia: 2017 is not 1936
Yesterday someone I'd never heard of, but apparently gets TV show appearances in the US, posted a tweet containing a ridiculously irrelevant observation about the current situation in Catalonia, the province of Spain whose political leaders are trying to break away from Spain, which is resisting:
This is probably a good time to mention that the last time Spain had a civil war a world war started shortly after.— Christiana A Mbakwe (@Christiana1987) October 27, 2017
I posted in response that the last time Spain had a civil war, it involved fascists who were already in power in Italy and Germany, and the war was about how the whole of Spain was governed, not the secession of one province. She replied:
Are you mansplaining the Spanish civil war to a political science graduate or was this tweet solely for your personal benefit?— Christiana A Mbakwe (@Christiana1987) October 27, 2017
I'm actually also a politics graduate (my degree was called politics and history), but you don't need to be a politics or history graduate to know that the Spanish Civil War was a totally different situation from the current situation and that the world was a quite different place then. The Second World War was not in any way the result of the Spanish Civil War; it was the result of Hitler's imperial and genocidal ambitions (and Hirohito's imperial ambitions) which were not shared by Franco, who refused to deport the country's Jewish population to the Nazi camps. Neither the present Spanish government nor the Catalan secessionists are fascists, nor are they the Communists who came to dominate the Spanish Republicans as amply documented by the likes of George Orwell. No other Spanish provinces are currently attempting to join Catalonia, nor are neighbouring countries trying to encourage or assist them (France has already said it will not recognise a breakaway state of Catalonia and the European Commission have also agreed that the referendum was illegal). Spain is currently nowhere near repressive enough to provoke an armed resistance in Catalonia or anywhere else (as was the case in the Basque Country under Franco), although this could change. There is simply no material for another Spanish civil war at present.
Christiana Mbakwe used two logical fallacies in her response. One was an ad hominem, namely the accusation of 'mansplaining', a neologism intended to mean something like "a man patronisingly explaining something to a woman with the presumption that he knows better because he is a man" but commonly used to mean "a man telling a woman something she doesn't want to hear" (more on this use of the term here). The second was the "argument from authority", namely the invocation of her political science degree to tell me I have no right to an opinion on the subject as she must by some definition know better than I do; in fact, you don't need a degree to know this history, and it's not as if your political science professors are immune from bias even if you do. It's become fashionable for women with access to the media to use this "dual fallacy" when men disagree with them on social media, to suggest that their 'qualifications' consist of a penis and a Twitter account while they are a 'real journalist' or an expert when such people often talk outside of their expertise, or just lie (the American journalist Victoria Brownworth is one of the worst offenders; she also likes to remind anyone who disagrees with her of the awards she's won). I've checked to see if Ms Mbakwe is a world-renowned expert on the Spanish Civil War; she has had articles published in various online and paper publications and none of them are about that subject, and maybe she's published a world-renowned reference text on the subject but Foyle's of London has no record of it.
It's not the first time that a civil or other local war, actual or feared, has attracted apocalyptic predictions from media pundits. The Gulf War was supposed to go nuclear and drag the Iranians and others in, while Yugoslavia was predicted to lead to a massive regional conflagration and involve Turkey and Russia. Neither happened, although Bosnia in particular was the scene of the second genocide in living memory in Europe. Catalonia is not even in that league; Spain is a democracy while the former Yugoslavia was not, but a one-party state. I predict that it will not take military force to put down the unconstitutional secession attempt by the former Catalan government (who knew it was unconstitutional and that the Spanish government would not accept it beforehand); there is no secessionist army and it will take only the police to arrest the leaders of the former government. Unless Rajoy does something very stupid, there aren't enough Catalans willing to go to war to break away from Spain.
So, Christiana Mbakwe's tweet was a bit of overexcited scaremongering. Certain social justice types online like to lecture us white men that if we're told we're being racist and/or sexist, to accept it with good grace instead of disputing it (even though the accusations are often spurious or even malicious, and delivered abusively); if you are told that you are being ridiculous and irresponsible, I suggest doing the same rather than resorting to personal arguments. We are not in the 1930s; there aren't fascists in power everywhere, and Spain is not facing a fascist takeover. It doesn't take a politics grad to know that.

- The new laws do not automatically apply in every part of NSW. Councils are required to consult with their community and then determine whether or not to enforce the new boat parking laws. Randwick City Council invites the community to 'Have Your Say' until 5pm, Tuesday 24 July 2018.
- Following the consultation period, a report will be submitted to Council. The report will advise Council on the consultation outcomes to assist in its determination to implement the provisions of the new act.
- If the Council formally adopts the position to implement the Boat Law changes, the Council will place a notice in the NSW Government Gazette announcing the whole (or part) of the Randwick LGA gazetted as a "Declared Area" for the purposes of the Impounding Amendment (Unattended Boat Trailers) Act 2015.
- Once this has been gazetted, a Public Notice Period will be provided prior to implementation.
- If the new Boat Laws are implemented in the Randwick LGA, the Council would be able to commence the process to ensure that boats parked in the same spot for more than 28 days are moved.
What is the process for Council implementing the new laws?
What is a boat trailer?
A Boat trailer is a trailer constructed for, or used for, the conveyance of a boat and includes any boat (including any article that is secured to or in such a boat) or other article mounted on such a trailer at the time it is impounded.
How will the new laws affect owners of boat trailers?
If the new laws are applied, in line with the Impounding Amendment (Unattended Boat Trailers) Act 2015, boat trailers can be parked on the road, but must:
a) "move at least every 28 days (or other such period as is specified by the regulations)" if the boat trailer is parked in a Declared Area;
b) move from the parked location by "passing an intersection with another road".
What would Council do if a boat trailer was parked in the same spot in a residential area for more than 28 days?
Council would investigate the matter, attempt to make contact with the owner, advise the owner of the Boat Trailer Laws and request the trailer be moved from its position within 15 days to another location. If it is not moved Council has the power to impound the boat trailer.
How will Council monitor the boat trailers?
With regard to this legislation, Council would only monitor boat trailers in residential or other built up areas if they have been reported to Council as being in breach of the law. Council Rangers are responsible for enforcing the act.

I've been looking for new ways to make my blog more interactive. I've already started Where's Jaspa? while I'm travelling, but I wanted ideas for while I'm at home. So here's my first… I hope you like it!
You may or may not know this, but I love baseball. Perhaps that's a strange thing for a small giraffe-like creature from the Serengeti to be interested in, but there you have it.
Whenever we're on a trip in the US during the baseball season, we try to take in a ballpark or two. This week last year we met up with friends especially to visit a park I'd never been to before (and to enjoy their company, of course).
So, Name That Ballpark!
Please post your guesses directly here on the blog page. And don't forget to come back next week for the answer.
Hint (sort of) – I've removed the name of the team and park, which are normally clearly visible in this view.

Dear Board,
This's video on the upcoming Celebration of National Multilingual Bilingual Advocacy Month of April was shared by our former Board colleague, Dr. Yee Wan.
As you will Recall, this was a major political victory and initiative for NABE in the past that was fully embraced by the U.S. Department of Education and Congress as we celebrated this event in D.C. on the national stage.
The NABE eNews will also cover this event for several issues going forward and we will reach out to our members requesting that the Affiliates stay engaged in similar efforts along with our coalition colleagues and share this information at their upcoming anniversary celebrations. NABE continued to promote this event at our recent conference last week and the "My Name, My Identity" buttons were passed out at the conference registration.
In the past NABE has taken this time to visit with our Congressional Representatives and the Department of Education by way of a formal program at the U.S. Capital in Congress. However, neither the timing nor the political environment of the day make these efforts conducive, possible, welcoming or productive in D.C.

From its inception, NABE has never shied away from the tough battles for social justice, equity and access, including taking a stand with other partners in support of the landmark supreme court case Lau v Nichols, passage of Title VII Bilingual Education Act, Title VII Fellows Program, Texas Bilingual Education Act and strong advocacy for numerous others legislation — Dreamers, DACA, Early Learners, National Seal of Biliteracy, "My Name, my Identity," National Multilingual Advocacy Month, NABE Bilingual Research Journal, etc.
The NABE Executive Board and staff has taken a solemn pledge to give our very best, to make every day count, to further the mission of NABE as a premier national and international professional education association in serving our bilingual/dual language immigrant students and to be an ardent advocate for their families as well as the thousands of educators who assist them every day. Since 1975, the National Association for Bilingual Education has been a nonprofit membership organization that works to advocate for educational equity and excellence for bilingual/multilingual students in a global society.
Looking back over the past twelve months, I am very pleased to share a few of the important things NABE and our affiliates have recently accomplished. The credit is equally shared by our members, dedicated and talented board and staff our more noteworthy accomplishments.
NABE Journal of Research and Practice
Call for paper deadlines: June 1 and Oct. 1
The NABE Journal of Research and Practice is an edited volume of scholarly publications that serves as an archival record for the National Association for Bilingual Education. It is a peer-reviewed publication that seeks articles that examine research, pedagogy, policies, theory and cultural issues that impact bilingual education, teaching and learning. Qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods studies that can contribute to the growing knowledge base on bilingual education models and best practices are especially welcome. Position papers, and articles focused on applied educational research and research infused classroom practices are also welcome. The NJRP publishes articles written in either English or Spanish. The Editorial Board will consider clarity and timeliness of the content in judging the quality of the manuscripts.

NABE now offers dual language professional development using the NABE Dual Language Immersion Program
Over 150 participants from 9 states attended the Third Annual NABE Dual Language Symposium in Delray Beach, FL. Participants were very pleased with the venue at the Delray Beach Marriott as well as the cultural aspects, school site and corporate demonstration visits and the robust nature of the program and other school initiatives.
This was a great opportunity for teachers and administrators to come together to collaborate, re-engage, share and learn how to implement stellar Dual Language Instruction Programs and be part of a working teacher network that will last beyond the Symposium.
The program also included examples of how to develop a strong STEAM framework for 21st Century Global Success, Integrating Spanish and English Language Development Standards in DLP, Cross-Linguistics applications and practices, and Dual Language program design, development and implementation. Special VIP guests included, Palm Beach County Schools Superintendent, Robert Avossa, representatives of the Consulate of Spain and Mexico, several research scholars, presentation by the Dallas ISD on teacher quality and selection and the AFT Colorín Colorado Instructional Support Series. An exceptional entertainment rendition by student Maikel Suárez of Latinos in Action generated very rave reviews. Participants were entertained by a very strong and challenging keynote address by Ken Williams on the topic of Minorities among Minorities: Bringing Dual Language to All Communities and Challenging the Status Quo Defenders on issues of equity, access and opportunities. NABE also launched its first in-depth PD Training Series on Dual Language Instruction in the Northern Chicago School District. Please visit the NABE Website for more information on this Professional Development DLI training.
NABE Takes a Strong Position of Advocacy on Behalf of Students From Puerto Rico and the Other Caribbean Islands
Because of the strong lobbying and advocacy efforts by NABE, AFT and other partners, the U.S. Congress passed an emergency bill to fund the Government including $89 Billion Dollars for Puerto Rico. The Short-term emergency legislation was signed by the President on February 12 and will allow Puerto Rico to begin in earnest its much needed and long overdue economic, health and safety recovery from Hurricane Maria.
Dear Governor Scott and Commissioner Stewart:
On behalf of the membership of the National Association for Bilingual Education, Joint National Committee for Languages and the National Council for Languages and International Studies, Ana G. Mendez University Systems of Puerto Rico and USA Branch Campuses, Hispanic Education Coalition of DC, American Federation of Teachers jointly with the Associación de Maestros de Puerto Rico, and TESOL International Association, we write to support the requests of the South and Central Florida School Districts most impacted with students from Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands who were forced to leave their homeland due to the ravages and destruction caused by Hurricane Maria.

A fiscal plan for Puerto Rico recovery
Faced with physical and economic devastation, Puerto Rico now has a once-in-a-generation chance to rebuild its infrastructure and economic foundation. To succeed, decisive leadership is required on the island and in the US Congress. A new, far-reaching plan must be set to restore economic growth.
Urgent letter to the U.S. Congress supported by NABE
Dear Chairman Alexander and Ranking Member Murray,
The undersigned organizations strongly support the bipartisan request for the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee to hold hearings to assess and address the ongoing education and health crisis in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands from the destructive hurricanes Irma and Maria.
It has been well over 100 days since the hurricanes made landfall, and American citizens are still struggling to regain basic living essentials. While some progress has been made, the U.S. territories are not only in recovery mode, their citizens are fighting to survive.

Congress: Oppose Tax Hikes Harming Children in Immigrant Families
Dear Members of Congress,
President Trump's proposed FY 2018 budget and a new tax bill proposed by the House Leadership are threatening to take away the Child Tax Credit from children whose immigrant parents file taxes using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers. The tax bill would also deny access to the American Opportunity Tax Credit, a crucial support that helps students get the education they need to access economic opportunities. Restricting the CTC to filers using Social Security Numbers could impact as many as 5 million children of taxpaying parents, the majority of whom are US citizens, and 1 million of whom are young DREAMers. These children would be denied tax credits in order to pay for tax cuts for corporations and wealthy individuals. We, the undersigned advocates for immigrants, anti-hunger advocates, anti-poverty groups, faith leaders, and advocates for diversity urge Members of Congress to oppose any proposals to deny tax credits to hardworking immigrant families and their children.

Survey: Trump's immigration policies hurting academics and school attendance
Education Week
Nearly 80 percent of educators report having students who have experienced emotional or behavioral problems because they are concerned about immigration enforcement, according to a new national survey from the Civil Rights Project at the University of California, Los Angeles. Overall, 84 percent of educators who participated in the survey said they have students who are concerned about immigration enforcement, with 36 percent of them reporting that students felt "nearly overwhelmed by fear and worry."
Understanding dialects helps ESL instructors
By: Douglas Magrath (commentary)
Knowledge of basic linguistic principles should include dialects — both L1 and L2. Learners at the higher levels need to know that they will encounter different dialects as they interact with native speakers. An understanding of linguistics will enhance one's ability to teach and develop materials for ESL learners. Understanding dialects will help instructors as they deal with the different varieties of English as well as the home languages of their students.
School funding 'stubbornly unfair' across states
THE Journal
In spite of research showing that school funding leads to better outcomes for students during their school years and afterward, a new report finds dramatic unevenness among education funding across states. New York and Alaska, for example, spend more than 2.5 times what Arizona and Idaho spend. There's been no improvement since the end of the "great recession" in those states that don't provide additional funding to districts with high student poverty.
4 ways to teach with wordless picture books
MiddleWeb (commentary)
Megan Kelly, a contributor for MiddleWeb, writes: "Picture books are no longer relegated to elementary school. Middle school teachers love them because they are accessible to all learners, are a quick way to share a text, and there is a picture book for every topic. My favorites are the books without words. When I use wordless picture books in my classroom, I am able to push my students even further, because they are doing all the textual work. I love the freedom and the range of interpretation that these books give my kids."
A powerful approach to reading instruction
Edutopia (commentary)
Jessica Hamman, a contributor for Edutopia, writes: "The first time I met my adult student Mary, she was skeptical but desperate. She was a treasured bus driver for the local school district and had recently received word that the route she had driven for 20 years was about to change. She would have to navigate a new route filled with unfamiliar street signs. Mary had come to the literacy council where I worked to confront the secret she had kept for decades from coworkers, friends and family: She couldn't read."

Study finds language, achievement benefits of universal early childhood education
Boston College via Science Daily
Universal child care that starts as early as age one improves language skills for young children, especially those from low-income families, according to a study of Norway's child care system by a team of researchers led by Boston College Lynch School of Education Professor Eric Dearing. Offering high-quality child care beginning at age one is reducing early achievement gaps in Norwegian communities, the team reported in a recent edition of the education research journal AERA Open.
DeVos rewrites rules for school civil rights probes
The Trump administration has overhauled the rules for investigating discrimination in the nation's schools in a way that the Education Department says will boost efficiency but advocates fear will weaken enforcement of civil rights. The new guidelines are the latest in a series of actions under the direction of Education Secretary Betsy DeVos that have led civil rights groups and Democrats to blast the Trump administration for "diminishing" civil rights enforcement — a major focus of former President Barack Obama's Education Department.
43 states include more than K-12 test scores on report cards, but work remains
District Administration Magazine
States must provide more information than what's required on federally mandated school report cards to give administrators and parents a clearer view of the education culture, according to a recent report from the nonprofit policy organization Data Quality Campaign. Since No Child Left Behind, states have had to create report cards detailing the academic performance of students in each school. Some 43 states have now added measures that go beyond test scores — such as chronic absences, discipline rates and course offerings — to offer a wider view of how a school is performing and what programs are available to students.
Supreme Court hears pivotal union arguments
By: Seth Sandronsky (commentary)
The fate of classroom teachers and other public-sector union workers remain uncertain after the Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the Janus v. American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees Council 31 case. Mark Janus, a child-support specialist employed by the State of Illinois, claims the current union law violates his First Amendment rights, and the ruling could have wide-ranging effects on the status of unions in the United States.
Bill's provisions would help ELL students graduate on time
Arizona Education News Service
Legislation that provides schools more flexibility in how they deliver instruction to English language learner students would also help more ELL students graduate high school on time. There were 67,050 English language learners in Arizona's public schools in fiscal 2016, which is about 6.19 percent of all public school students, according to U.S. Department of Education.
MISSED AN ISSUE OF NABE WEEKLY eNEWS?
Does every teacher need a coach?
The Hechinger Report
Just like athletes become stronger under the guidance of a good coach, so do teachers. There are many ways to design a coaching program, but the general idea is that a veteran educator observes a teacher in the classroom and then gives constructive feedback on issues ranging from managing student misbehavior to framing open-ended questions that push students to think harder. The teacher then tries to incorporate what the coach suggests and the cycle of observation and feedback repeats. The number of sessions and frequency vary.
Study: When students feel positive toward schoolwork, they learn more
Education DIVE
Much of the attention toward student achievement in recent years has focused on grit and perseverance, leaving the impression that students who do well fight through assignments and material that they dread and dislike in order to earn the reward of a good grade. This study, however, suggests that helping students find joy in what they're doing might also be an important instructional strategy, whether that's through game-based learning, cooperation with a partner or linking lessons to topics or activities that students have already expressed that they enjoy.
Setting the tone for all learners with visual cues
Teaching Channel (commentary)
Brett Bigham, a contributor for Teaching Channel, writes: "Inclusion practices have moved many students from special education rooms into mainstream classes, and as I've traveled the states as Oregon Teacher of the Year, I've heard one message loud and clear: General education teachers need help adapting their classrooms and lessons for a wider range of skills. We have classrooms with students reading at the Pre-K level sitting next to kids who read at the pre-college level."
In Canada's public schools, immigrant students are thriving
Education Week
When 13-year-old André Cordeiro moved from rural Portugal to Toronto, the only English words he knew were, "hi," "bye," and "hot dog." Four years later, he speaks English "way better" and credits the English learner class he attends every morning at Islington Junior Middle School. With just six other students in that class, the teacher answers André's questions right away, unlike in the larger, mainstream classes he attends every afternoon. He's more at ease in his morning class because no one speaks English fluently. "I feel kind of equal," said André, now in 8th grade. "There's not as much pressure if I make a mistake."
In #ArmMeWith movement, teachers ask to be armed — But not with guns
Teachers have taken to social media in the midst of a gun control debate following the Parkland, Florida, school shooting to push for an increase in classroom resources — not the ability to carry guns in school. Recently, President Donald Trump suggested that some teachers be armed, calling it a "great deterrent" to mass shootings on campus. Using the hashtag #ArmMeWith, teachers are proposing other resources they would rather be armed with, such as more funding, additional school counselors and smaller class sizes.
Langevin introduces bill to combat English learner achievement gap
Johnston Sun Rise
Representative Jim Langevin, D-Rhode Island, introduced legislation to improve the instruction of English learners in pre-kindergarten, elementary and secondary school programs. The Reaching English Learners Act provides funding for higher education programs that equip aspiring teachers with the skills to more effectively reach non-native English speaking students so they can achieve at high academic levels. "Rhode Island is one of thirty-two states that report a shortage of teachers for English learners, and unfortunately, Rhode Island's English learning student population is one of the lowest performing in the nation," said Congressman Langevin.

Join us at High for an evening with Carley Smith, AKA Fairy Gutmother®- Nutritional Therapist, Certified GAPS Practitioner, and Registered Yoga Teacher.
Carley became interested in health and nutrition after being diagnosed with Lyme disease and using food as medicine emphasizing gut health to help heal. She became so empowered in the progress in her healing just based on diet and lifestyle changes and focusing on gut health that she started Fairy Gutmother® so she could help spread awareness around nutrition and help others.
Carley is adamant about promoting the gut health lifestyle as it is more than a diet, rather, a combination of food and environment that play a role in the health of the microbiome. Join us as she reviews what constitutes a healthy gut and ways that you can implement changes into your daily life to help improve gut health.
Carley has been featured on The Dr. Oz Show and is a frequent guest and writer for Denver's Modern Eater Show on iHeart Radio.

The Purveyors Of Medical Addiction:
Coming to terms with the Fact that your Doctor is a Killer
So let us take a look at you… the hapless patient in a game of death…
Monsters have been created that will permanently 'fix you' but never cure you, (bit of Coldplay there…) we are of course speaking of the monsters created from your advanced payment for the death machine and its products, to be prescribed to you when you get a twitch or some little pain on or in your body. National Insurance is pre-paid population control.
First they broke the body and moved to ensure the immune system never again functioned at full capacity, then they hit the human with a psychological attack to ensure they forgot how it was before they met the blue birds and smurfs from the drug induced adventures. Then they launched the sweetie shops with many nurses and doctors who would prescribe all day and all night those little toxic pebbles they call medication.
Today if you are ill you have a choice to make, do you enter the killing fields of synthetic medication or do you look after yourself?
Dr Jennifer Daniels has a lot to say when it comes to the real spirit behind the eyes of those called doctors and nurses from the industry they call a health service.
She says:
Side effects to medication is your body screaming for you to cease taking the medication.
It takes 18 doctors to kill you by the accepted medical standards which operates to prevent two things, the practitioners recognising they are actually killing the patient and in its limiting of the ability for the patient to bring one man/woman in particular to law, again serving the former issue. They each follow the rules according to the book written by the medical mafia, insurance, the judiciary and government. If you remain within the commercial law, you lose and the medical operatives get off scot free.
The medical Bible is not about curing you, it ensures they get constant customers and are able to torture, maim and sacrifice humans in plain sight with your full consent.
The weapon that is the medical arena is not born of Capitalism, it is not a voluntary option, they demand you pay National Insurance which is tied to your income each week, ensuring you pre-pay for the medical machine, whether you need it or not. This way you are paying for others to be tortured, maimed and killed if you yourself are smart enough to keep off the magic pills. That is the mindset of the Commune.
As a percentage of risk to your life, you are looking at 40% of the population that will die due to medical interventions, therefore keeping out of the medical arena ups your chance of life by 40%.
If hospitals ceased killing folks they would lose 8% of their revenue which would cancel out the 5% profit. They have to keep killing you.
On my own turf here in Blighty (the UK) , specifically Lancashire and a little Borough called Hyndburn, is a fine example of eugenics in plain sight. In 1945, after two wars, the population of the area today called Hyndburn was 49000, today that figure is down to 28000 with over a third of the population being of foreign origin, either Muslim or European.
In essence they have removed by one method or another, 20000 white natives, but that figure is bigger still when you include the many Muslim inhabitants making up the figure of today at 28000. Is it a coincidence that such secret manipulations of the local populations came at the same time as they launched the National Health Service? Meet the OPT
In The U.S. the first pre-paid medical fee was called Blue Cross, in the U.K. it was through the National Insurance payment.
Those who cannot afford Health Insurance in the United States live around 8 years longer than those who have it.
When you go to the hospital, 1% will be killed, 25% will be harmed and the remaining g 74% will not benefit at all. The medical mafia gain 100%.
Those that live the longest are never fit freaks, vegetarians or vegans.
The medical deceivers claimed to have eradicated Malaria yet the symptoms for Dengue Fever are exactly the same illness as Malaria. They eradicate a disease by changing its name. They did the same with Polio.
A virus is not pathological and is not deadly, worms however, are dangerous.
Science shrouds the ancient practices of human sacrifice, cannibalism and human mutilation, a white coat shrouds the practitioner of all the old rituals.
Antibiotics destroy your immune system.
At least half of those diagnosed with cancer do not have a life threatening disease. To understand this you must read the Pathology report.
Bio-identical Hormones are found in all birth control medications.
Secondary market for human organs… means, if you have signed on to donate your organs you might get taken in by the emergency teams but if your blood and other criteria matches a waiting patient, could get you a dead ticket, then they take your organs and your family get the body.
A broken bone is not a medical emergency, if the bones are 2 inch apart the body will bridge the gap and fix the break. Comfrey the plant is excellent for knitting bones.
Dr. Jennifer Daniel's says; that if you take part in any way, with the synthetic medical system, you are culpable for the death of your fellow man, she includes : paying into health care, including National Insurance pre-payment contributions, if you work at a hospital, if you promote vaccines, if you sell medical insurance, a newscaster reading the words of the drug companies, you teach the medical program itself or educate young children to obey and accept the intrusions by the medical system, you are all part of the killing. If each person took responsibility for their own lives and contemplated what they will and will not do for money, refusing to be a part of the killing would be a great move at individual level in dismantling the killing machine.

Your Master's thesis requires you to conduct independent research, which may be done as part of an internship at a consultancy or government agency, for instance.
An internship is not compulsory, but can definitely help you to get a feeling for actual professional practice. Many employers appreciate experience gained in an organisation.
You will have to arrange your internship yourself, but your thesis supervisor can help you find one.
Geosciences has a website dedicated to finding an internship.
Career Services Internship Listings
You could also check the Career Services Internship Listings to see if any of the internships interest you. Companies and organisations looking for interns from the university's various academic programmes often post their vacancies with us.
Talk to your Innovation Sciences programme leader to find out whether this internship could be completed as part of your academic programme (curriculum).
Never accept an internship without prior approval by your thesis supervisor.
Your thesis supervisor will decide in advance whether an internship meets certain requirements. In other words, whether your role is clear, whether the internship represents a challenge for you, and whether you will receive sufficient supervision by the organisation in question.
The assessment of your internship is included in your thesis assessment form. You will not receive a separate internship assessment or separate credits.

Fouling on marine immersed structures is a multi-billion pound issue for the offshore industry, requiring mechanical removal of foulants. Since the banning of tin-based antifoulants there are few effective strategies to prevent fouling by marine invertebrates and algae. An improved understanding of the stages of biofouling in temperate and tropical waters is essential to find ecologically friendly and sustainable remedies. In this proposal we will use chemical ecology methods to understand the process of fouling using key species. We will use ecological cues, such as marine invertebrates and algae which lack fouling, to select species to discover natural antifoulants. The key aim is to discover new antifoulants and the objectives are:
- Survey offshore structures for key fouling organisms.
- Select model organisms from these for the antifouling tests.
- Collect marine invertebrates and algae which are not fouled and extract these using organic solvents.
- Use an activity guided iterative purification/testing process using the model organisms in (2) and the extract from (3) to isolate the antifouling agents.
- To structurally characterise the antifoulants using spectroscopic methods and determine their antifouling characteristics.
- To work with industry to begin the process of incorporating these antifoulants into coatings and test these in real-world situations.

Decommissioning is an event driven process with significant technical and operational challenge which requires a great deal of decision makings. At planning stage, critical decisions are made in terms of the removal technologies to be employed for the platforms and pipelines, dismantling order and steps, shipping method, recycling method, and the possibility of reutilisation for other purposes. Any decision made will affect the cost, operational risk and environment. This project aims at the development of a decision support system (DSS) which will be based on the state-of-the-art of decision making under uncertainties and optimisation methods with the following functions:
- for a given field, produces and shows various decommissioning scenarios by considering all possible combinations of dismantling steps and orders, removal and recycling methods, and the possibility of reutilisation,
- for each scenario evaluates the associated cost, risk and environmental impact by evaluating each event in that scenario, and
- provides a non-subjective means of multicriteria trade-off study between different scenarios.
Experts in decommissioning regulations, marine life, recycling and environment will be consulted to ensure the implementation of all limitations, constraints, and potential impacts in the decision support system.

There are many offshore structures and installations used for the extraction of oil and gas and for renewable energy with a limited life that have to be decommissioned, a process governed by international and UK laws and regulation. These include the requirement to conduct an Environmental Impact Assessment for decommissioning each facility, which focuses on the impact on biological and socio-economic receptors. Currently the GHG emissions associated with decommissioning are not evaluated in-depth as the life cycle assessment process is complex. This omission conflicts with the law to reduce UK GHG emissions to 20% of those in 1990 by 2050.
Decommissioning is an energy intensive process with marine operations requiring large equipment and many ship-miles and operating time. There are GHG costs associated with waste disposal and recycling of materials. The GHG emissions caused by the decommissioning process can be very high but depend on the amount of infrastructure removed and methods used. This project intends to investigate the energy and GHG intensity of each decommissioning operation and build an open access application that can be easily used by offshore operators on a routine basis for decommissioning EIA's to assess the impact of the various options on GHG emissions.

A transition to a sustainable energy system calls for reducing waste, hazards, environmental and economic impacts. This project aims at developing new knowledge-based cleaning and waste management technologies that will contribute to that goal. It will be based on the fundamental science underpinning the stability and properties of slurries containing hydrocarbons, scales and heavy metals.
Management of hazardous substances and the long-term liability associated with the presence of unexpected pollutants pose a serious challenge during the life cycle of every offshore energy project. In the context of decommissioning, 'Making safe' activities, including cleaning, venting and purging, isolation, and waste management, together with topside preparation and onshore disposal, remediation and monitoring, account for circa 9% of the total cost.
Solid hydrocarbon deposits in pipelines and facilities form a matrix of waxes and asphaltenes, becoming nucleation sites for scales precipitation and trapping pollutants such as PAH and mercury. Those scales are also a source of radioactivity (NORM). The sludge at the bottom of tanks and slurries during flushing contain hazardous substances as mentioned above. Colloidal theory offers a tool to understand these processes, of paramount importance to tackle the cleaning and disposal of waste during operations and decommissioning.
Experiments (density, rheology, phase behaviour, interfacial tension, interfacial rheology and viscoelasticity, analytical chemistry, imaging techniques) and models will be investigated to optimise the cleaning method, waste treatment and disposal route of those complex mixtures.

Oil and gas infrastructure represent an important network of hard substrates that facilitates stepping stone migration for both native species and non-native marine invasive species.Decommissioning will therefore impact the maintenance of biodiversity and ecosystem function and services, connectivity between features such as marine protected areas (MPAs) and the emergence, spread and persistence of invasive species. However, a deep understanding of these effects is limited by a lack of empirical population genetic and phylogeographic information among offshore infrastructure and natural populations. The goal of this project is to use next generation molecular approaches such as DNA metabarcoding and environmental DNA (eDNA) to firstly characterise species assemblages on oil and gas infrastructure and secondly to characterise patterns of dispersal and geneflow in relation to oceanographic currents and features, established MPAs and existing infrastructure. The patterns of population genetic structure will be modelled under contrasting scenarios of decommissioning with the consequences for population isolation or conversely the spread of alien invasive species. The project will utilise species models that encompass a range of life histories to properly encapsulate the potential impact of altering the metapopulation network.

A large proportion of the UKCS offshore infrastructure have reached the end of its economic lifetime. Hence, decommissioning is required when every option for extending the assets life has been exhausted.
This project examines the challenges of decommissioning marine pipelines and bundles. Subsea bundles are subsea tubular structures that can contain flow lines, process lines, chemical injection lines and umbilical cables that connect a subsea field to a host facility. Currently most bundles have been left in situ or the ends are rock dumped. This project will investigate the assessment of the current methods used for decommissioning of bundles, comparative assessment of the methods used for other structures and how methods already in place can be implemented in this project. It will include a review of current practices of removing pipelines and bundles depending on the soil type associated with those structures and examine their differences in association with legislation and environmental impact.
The project will look at the jetting process as a means of sinking the bundle into the sea bed to a depth recognised as being safe (typically 60cm in the UKCS). This will be done on scale models with different grades and densities of different seabed materials.

This PhD project has two parts. The first will assess the economic effects of different instruments which can be used to procure financial security for decommissioning such as LOCs, Surety Bonds, Trust Funds, and Parent Company Guarantees. The economic effects would include timing of COP and thus MER, tax revenues, and risk-sharing among Government and JV partners. Professor Kemp has published several papers on these subjects including "Financial Liability for Decommissioning in the UKCS: the Comparative Effects of LOCs, Surety Bonds, and Trust Funds", North Sea Study Occasional Paper, No.103 (https://www.abdn.ac.uk/research/acreef/working-papers/). The second part of the project will explore possible mechanisms to deal with the current problem of residual liability in perpetuity which currently rests with licensees after an agreed decommissioning plan has been executed. The thrust of the research would be to discover a mechanism which relieves the licensees of the in perpetuity liability while leaving the Government content that it is not disadvantaged.

How to Change the Default Downloads Folder on Your Mac
I've seen a lot of cluttered and disorganized Downloads folders on Mac. A lot. For me, at least, it's much easier to keep my downloaded files cleaned up and organized if I download to my Desktop which I'm constantly looking at then to download to the downloads folder which I don't pay attention to until it gets too cluttered to find anything.
So if you're the same way, it's good to know that you can change where Safari, Firefox, and Chrome automatically put their downloads.
So for today's article, let's go over how to change the default download folder on the Mac!
Luckily, the process of changing the default download directory pretty similar in the three main Mac browsers.
Change the Default Download Location in Safari
For Apple's built-in Safari browser, the first step is to ope the Safari app and then select the Safari pull-down menu in the top-left corner of your screen. From the drop-down list, choose Preferences.
After the Preferences window opens, make sure you've got the General tab selected, then you can change the "File download location" toggle to whatever location you want.
As you can see, I've got mine set to "Desktop," but you can pick an alternate location with that "Other" choice. Clicking "Other" will bring you to the familiar macOS open/save dialog box, from which you can select any folder you want to use.
If you're feeling really fancy, you could instead change that toggle shown in my second screenshot above to "Ask for each download," which will mean that you can file away everything you download exactly where you want it to go, every time. While this is a nifty feature but it can get cumbersome to have to choose a download location for each and every download you do.
Change the Default Download Location in Firefox
With the Firefox browser, you'll start the same way as you did with Safari. That is, first launch the Firefox application and then click on its named menu (i.e., the Firefox pulldown menu) in the upper left. Then select Preferences from the Firefox pull-down menu
Under the General tab, the option for this is front and center—it's even labeled "Save files to."
Use that "Choose" button on the right which will enable you to switch your download location to a different folder, or again, the "Always ask me where to save files" radio button you see above will make Firefox ask you each time you initiate a download.
Change the Default Download Location in Chrome
Google made it just a teeny bit harder to change your default downloads folder in the Chrome browser, but the steps begin the same way as the other two browsers. First launch the Chrome application and then click on the Chrome menu at the top of your screen and select Preferences from the Chrome pull-down menu.
Scroll down on the "Settings" tab until you see "Show advanced settings," and then click that.
When those advanced settings appear, you'll need to scroll a bit more to get to the "Download location" option.
You can use the "Change" button there to switch yours from whatever it's set to, or as with Safari and Firefox, there's a choice to make the browser ask you where to put the file you're downloading every time.
As Steve Jobs used to say, "Oh yeah, there's one more thing."
Mail also uses the Downloads folder to store attachments you save, so if you'd like to be really thorough, you could change that, too.
Click on the Mail pulldown menu at the top of Mail then select Preferences. Next, under the General tab, you can change the download location just as you can with the web browsers:
So now that you've got all of your browsers (and Mail!) set to do exactly what you need them to, you can go forward knowing that your Downloads folder will never get too cluttered and disorganized again. Getting things done is so much easier when you stay organized.

Do you have any tips or tricks for managing downloads on your Mac? If so, we'd love to hear from you in a comment below!
One thought on "How to Change the Default Downloads Folder on Your Mac"
I am trying to choose an external HD as a default. I hope it will work.

Why Customer Relationships are Still Critical in the Digital Age
Building customer loyalty is becoming more difficult than ever. This is especially true in the digital age when many consumers have given up on personalized service and resigned themselves to being nothing more than a number. And while consumers may believe that personalized service is a thing of the past, that doesn't mean that they are happy about it.
Sixty-five percent of Americans say they feel connected to a business when they feel valued by that business and almost 60 percent say trust is a key factor in why they remain loyal to a business. In other words, customer loyalty requires the establishment of personal relationships.
Smart businesses are using an overall drop in customer service to their advantage. These businesses realize that if they are willing to put in the time and effort to make their customers feel valued, they will be rewarded in the form of customer loyalty. This is especially true in the Ag industry. No matter how tech savvy a farmer is, that farmer still wants to feel a connection with those they do business with.
Ag businesses who adopt a strong customer service component can expect their customers to choose their brand over competitors. This is especially significant when you consider that repeat customers spend, on average, 30 percent more than new ones. They also are more likely to try new products from a business they already have a relationship with and become "brand ambassadors." In other words, farmers who are loyal to a business will promote that business to other farmers through word-of-mouth advertising.
While many businesses today have resorted to promotional gimmicks or one-time special offers to obtain more customers, these tactics do little more than boost short-term sales boosts. They do nothing to build long-term relationships. Conversely, farmers who feel respected and valued by a business forge an emotional connection with that business. This connection is reinforced when a business continues to exceed customer expectations.
While it is true that farmers, and all consumers, want the ease and convenience that comes with doing business online, that ease and convenience doesn't mean that personalized customer service is no longer necessary. Instead, engaging with customers, responding and acting on their feedback and putting their needs at the center of all transactions is the only way to build customer loyalty. It also is the best way to make sure that farmers choose you over your competitors—again and again.
