Superior Culture
MARQUETTE — Ever wonder how kombucha is made, what it tastes like or what it even is?
A group of young professionals had the opportunity to see what the fermented beverage is all about Wednesday night by attending a social gathering at Superior Culture where they were given a tour from its owner, Alex Rowland.
Superior Culture opened its taproom in October in Marquette's downtown district at 717 N. Third St.
"The vibe in here during the day is more like a coffee shop, and then it segues into a bar around 5 p.m., but that doesn't mean someone can't come in here and drink beer at noon. That doesn't mean someone can't come in here at 9 at night and drink kombucha," Rowland said. "I'm basically here to create a space where people can hangout. I just want people from all walks of life and preferences to kind of come and circularize in this space."
In the taproom, people can find a rotating variety of nano-brewed beers, hand-pressed ciders, jun, as well as alcoholic and non-alcoholic kombucha, and more.
"Everything you see on this chalkboard here is made in the confines of this building," Rowland said.
Kombucha — a drink made with tea, sugar, bacteria and yeast — is fermented in small batches using glass, stainless and oak barrels, Rowland said. The product is then brewed and flavored with freshly pressed fruit and vegetable juices, herbs and spices.
One of the best things about kombucha? Its health benefits, Rowland said.
"There's like 25 different acids that are primarily present in kombucha," he said. "A lot of them have anti-inflammatory, immune-boosting functions. Drinking kombucha actually helps to balance your body's overall pH. It helps you kind of recenter everything. On top of that, boosting gastrointestinal health.
"Then we flavor it with all organic fruit juices and herbs and spices — so on top of the medicinal effects you get from kombucha, you're also getting the medicinal properties of drinking fresh juice."
Even though it has a slew of benefits, some people detest the idea of the drink because it can have a strong taste. However, Superior Culture uses plenty of juices and flavors that make the beverage smooth and palatable.
"I want somebody who never tried kombucha in their entire life to walk up to me and try something they actually like — that's the main goal," he said.
So far, people have been really receptive to fruitier beverages.
"Our grapefruit hibiscus this week has been really popular," Rowland said.
Rowland graduated from Michigan State University in 2014 with a bioengineering degree. After traveling around the country, he moved to the Marquette area where he began making kombucha. In 2016, businesses started carrying it around town.
"We were basically just filling little bottles from a 5-gallon bucket in the Cruise N' Coffee building on Wright Street," Rowland said. "Then we started doing events like the farmers market every Saturday. Last year, we went to bigger festivals like Hiawatha (Music Festival) and some downstate. This will be the first summer having our taproom."
Rowland is the sole proprietor of Superior Culture and has a small crew of employees. He said the main focus is going to be on the taproom since it'll be open year-round and they're just getting situated in the new location. However, Superior Culture will be at festivals and events over the summer with a trailer full of fresh product on tap.
So far, Rowland said, Forestville and Hiawatha music festivals in Marquette, Farm Block Fest in Allouez and Copper Harbor Trails Fest are for sure in the books.
Wednesday's event was hosted by Connect Marquette — formerly 40 Below, which was created in 2010 as a way for individuals in the Marquette County area to come together with networking and professional development opportunities.
Ashley Garrison, chairwoman of Connect Marquette's Membership Committee, said social gatherings allow members to learn about what's going on in the community and network.
"We kind of want to highlight things and bring attention to them — like tonight's focus is on kombucha and Superior Culture," she said.
Memberships cost an annual fee of $50 and give people the opportunity to attend special events for free — otherwise, they're $5 for non-members. The group is also involved with volunteer work throughout the community and hosts the annual Upper Peninsula Young Professionals Conference.
The organization is open to anyone under 40 years of age. More information can be found at connectmarquette.org.
Superior Culture is open on Tuesday and Wednesday from noon to 6 p.m.; Thursday through Saturday, noon to 10 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 4 p.m. Happy hour is from 4 to 6 p.m. every day, aside from Monday when the business is closed.

text: So 10 years ago the original single was released and a 1000 heads were turned by this strange garage hybrid, which actually said something meaningful. This rework is deep, bassy and minimal with a certain melancholy about it, which is kind of fitting when you consider Mike Skinner's subsequent career and his heroic failure, in many ways, to push things forward. A modern-day British institution, if that's possible.

Facebook Allegedly Aiming to Raise $1 Billion for Its Crypto Project
Facebook is seeking support from venture capital firms to invest in its crypto-related project, targeting to raise as much as $1 billion. The news was revealed by NY Times reporter Nathaniel Popper in a series of twits on Monday, April 8.
The social media is allegedly designing its crypto as the native currency for all its major platforms – Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Reportedly, Facebook is also eyeing to make a splash on the lucrative remittance market in India with its cryptocurrency.
Update on Facebook's cryptocurrency: Sources tell me that Facebook is now looking to get VC firms to invest in the Facebook cryptocurrency project we reported on earlier this year. I hear they are targeting big sums — as much as $1b.
— Nathaniel Popper (@nathanielpopper) April 8, 2019
Pointing out the advantages of outside funding, Nathaniel Popper noted:
"Given that one of the big allures of blockchain projects is the decentralization, getting outside investors could help Facebook present the project as more decentralized and less controlled by Facebook."
Moreover, according to Popper's sources, Facebook is planning to peg its digital tokens against "a basket of" fiat currencies, to create a so-called stablecoin, thus avoiding the crypto market fluctuations and making the coin more usable.
"One person I spoke with said that Facebook is talking about using the money as collateral for its cryptocurrency. Facebook has been designing the coin to keep a stable value, pegged to a basket of foreign currencies held in bank accounts," Popper stated.
It's interesting to think of one of the richest companies on earth raising money. When was the last time they did outside fundraising?
— Nathaniel Popper (@nathanielpopper) April 8, 2019
Since 2018 Facebook has been covertly working on a cryptocurrency project and building a blockchain division within the company. The company has been tight-lipped about the purpose and progress of the coin, but Facebook has so far hired at least 30 people to the division with David Marcus—former head of Messenger, and the previous president of PayPal—leading the division as "Director of Engineering, Blockchain."
Though Facebook did not announce anything officially about its cryptocurrency project, media reports revealed earlier this year that the company is eyeing to develop its own digital currency called "Facebook Coin".
According to a Barclays analyst, Facebook's cryptocurrency might generate as much as $19 billion a year in revenue.
The last time Facebook raised funding was through a venture round in March 2012 for an undisclosed amount. According to CrunchBase, the last public amount that Facebook raised was in January 2011 for $1.5 billion with the backing of firms including Goldman Sachs Investment Partners and DST Global.
The company generated $56 billion in revenue in 2018 alone, with a net income of $22 billion. These figures represent more cash than the market capitalization of every single cryptocurrency except Bitcoin.
For reference, the Menlo Park-headquartered company market capitalization is more than double the market capitalization of all cryptocurrency projects combined, sitting at $500 billion. Worldwide, Facebook reaches a massive 2.3 billion monthly active users.

Great experience and I love working with the VelocityEHS team.
A source of truth for all data related to safety and social responsibility.
The software is very user-friendly and can be customized to meet our business needs. The software has allowed us to implement solutions to meet many different business needs so that our stakeholders have one system rather then multiple to enter/manage their data.
The reports and dashboard webparts are limiting based on the metrics we report on. Corrective actions can not be assigned to multiple stakeholders (ie: same action for different areas).

Its an affordable solution with good modules/options, but without being overly complex.
(1) Saves a lot of time rolling up incident reporting and injury rates across the corporation, (2) allows excellent standardization of our corporate audits, including scoring, (3) allows racking of action items from multiple sources, (4) love the "To Do" piece on the home page/dashboard
We have had success with the incident, audit, compliance, action tracking and metrics modules. Our greatest success was with the audit module - once we built our corporate audit protocol, we were off to the races and we have a standardized process across the entire globe, including for tracking action items to closure. The system give us 90% or more of what we need, and the price is appropriate for our mid-sized company. Looking forward to integration features with MSDSOnline, which our US sites already use.
Not always intuitive/user-friendly, especially for folks who don't use it often; e.g., the HSE manager who (fortunately) has only one incident a month, or the supervisor who only goes in to close out an action item or to enter an occasional change in MOC. That said, we are getting better and have accomplished a great deal in the 5 years I've been involved. More "How To" scripts and cheat sheets that walk you through a work flow would be helpful (ideally they would be available on any screen you get "stuck" on.

Very functional, really helped organize, track and recognize our risks.
Consistency of inputs, reporting and analysis functionality.
The depth of reporting functionality and the logical nature of reporting for the user, also notifications.
The rigidness of the mobile app, this would be an excellent tool to our field staff especially those that are yard based and not normally in the office, hazard ID and near miss reporting would be better, more timely and enhanced.

Entry Level Software
Great for small businesses looking to make the first step out of spreadsheets. Incident and inspection tracking, monitoring and reporting functions that allow for multiple user inputs.
Easy to use modules. Price is very reasonable. One of the lowest I've seen. Velocity EHS allows for flexibility which dashboards and creating forms for one time use.
Does not include smart storage. Repopulating a form is not yet possible. No document storage that allows for offline use. No dashboard on the mobile app.

September 26-28, Victoria
In September, BC's chartered professional accountants gathered at CPABC's 2018 Fall Pacific Summit to invest in their careers and engage with the profession.
Held at the Victoria Conference Centre from September 26-28, the conference was themed 'Going Beyond Boundaries' and offered 20-plus PD sessions to help delegates optimize their skills. Many attendees took advantage of the opportunity to fulfil their annual CPD over the course of three days.
Highlights from the Fall Pacific Summit included:
Tapping into the Olympic mindset: In his opening keynote address, Olympic gold medallist and host of The Amazing Race Canada Jon Montgomery inspired the crowd to identify their passions and pursue them, no matter what the challenges. The summit's closing keynote presenter, motivational speaker and Olympic gold medallist Adam Kreek, showed delegates how they could reframe their fear of failure in a healthy way, and reclaim confidence and achieve sustained success in the process.
Deepening tech knowledge, from AI to blockchain: PD seminars at the Summit provided takeaways on cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence, blockchain, and other technologies affecting accounting. Keynote presenter Paul Zikopoulos, IBM's vice-president, big data and cognitive systems, added to the tech-focused learning. He outlined how organizations can interpret their data in useful and profitable ways, while achieving greater innovation along the way.
Increasing career connections: The Summit's welcome reception was hosted in the First People's Gallery at the Royal BC Museum and gave attendees the opportunity to meet up with peers while taking in a variety of stunning exhibits. The following day, delegates connected at the Exhibitor's Networking Reception while learning about the latest business solutions.
The summit was also a chance for members to hear from CPABC's leadership. President and CEO Lori Mathison, FCPA, FCGA, LLB, presented the session "Checking Up With BC's Economy" which included an assessment of BC's economic outlook, a discussion of CPABC's recommendations to the provincial government based on member feedback from the Business Outlook Survey and CPABC's annual economic report, BC Check-Up, and an overview of CPABC's public affairs initiatives.
Mathison also gave the event's closing remarks, saying, The Pacific Summit provides us with a valuable opportunity to engage with fellow CPAs from across the province, to learn the latest best practices, and to advance our professional development."

-Kassia Grewal, CPA, CA

From Haunted Verdun Manor to Thrillvania – Re-Designing the First Haunted House Logo I Ever Designed!
In the late 1980's I was attending the University of North Texas (Dallas area) when I discovered an amazing haunted attraction called Haunted Verdun Manor. Almost overnight I signed up to act in the haunt, and for the last couple of years of my college career I spent many weekends hanging out/becoming friends with Verdun's owner Lance Pope, who is now legendary in the industry (and taken from us far too soon).
Besides forming friendships that last to this day with other budding haunters who also tended to just hang out at Verdun whenever they could (Michael Edwards and Bart Butler, I'm looking at you), Lance gave me the opportunity (my first in the industry) to design a new logo and program art for Verdun.
I graduated in 1991 and moved on from Dallas. Subsequently, Lance passed and Haunted Verdun Manor became Thrillvania Haunted House Park, the logo for which kept the same font style and werewolf artwork that I'd done for the original Haunted Verdun Manor logo.
Flash forward to now. Current owner Todd James has given me the opportunity to update the Thrillvania logo… 30 years later. I can barely wrap my head around that.
So here are all 3 logos – the original ink-and-presstype Haunted Verdun Manor logo, the Thrillvania logo that they've been using up until this past season, and the freshly-approved 2019 update, built with Procreate and Photoshop.
This has been a very cool thing to get to do!

We have visitors! George's mom and dad are in town visiting. Everyone say hello to George and Betsy.
Not so Interesting fact: My mom REALLY wanted to name me Betsy, but my dad wouldn't let her. How creepy would that have been? George and Betsy times 2. By the way, my mom "made" me name my first baby doll Betsy even though I really didn't want to and I still hate dislike the name today. Sorry Bets!
Today we went to Zilker Botanical Gardens. We thought it would be a good thing to do a) because Betsy loves flowers and b) Zilker Park is one of those "must" do Austin things. 2 birds, 1 stone.
Reviewing the photos today I learned a few things and I thought I would share.
Close ups after 30 are not kind, but at least you can't see my muffin top (oh you just wait).
Thou shall not bend over to hug thy husband and
create make muffin top worse (Worst picture ever. Posting to keep myself accountable.)
Bamboo is awesome! I told George he could take a picture but I better not see my butt. At least he cut out the cellulite.
Posing in front of a waterfall by yourself makes you feel (and look) like a dork. Also note to self… get a tan on those legs!
So yeah, I've been feeling pretty low lately when it comes to body "issues" and looking at these pictures (and now posting them), was a little bit of a wake up call.
I haven't devised a plan to combat said problems except maybe leaving the camera at home. Until then, RUN!

This documentary is very funny, but not in the way that the film makers intended, I think. The tousle-haired bell-end interviewing the "donkies" thinks he's making a knowing and ironic "look at the northern monkeys" film (which is why they stick totally unnecessary subtitles on the dialogue and go out of their way to emphasise the "grim up north" motif), but instead he comes across as if Nathan Barley had aspirations to be Louis Theroux and went to interview the denizens of my local Liberal Club. When you watch it you're constantly urging his subjects to get sick of him taking the piss and give him a bloody good pasting. Sorry, put a Donk on him.
That's better.

Mission Action Plan (MAP) Short Term Initiatives
Following the first 3 Parishioner Sessions of the Mission Action Plan, the Leaders Group reviewed the results and have published the 5 Short-term initiatives to be progressed.
These are:
- Prayer;
- Hospitality;
- Welcome;
- Worship; and
- Small Groups.
They are expanded upon below.
Progress is already being made in a number of these areas, however, for this to really become as effective as possible, it needs the support and activity of all parishioners.
These 5 initiatives stood out, as the leading of the Holy Spirit worked through those many people who participated in the workshops.
This is by no means the end of the MAP process. The above initiatives are just some of the things we can do now to make a difference. To keep up the momentum.
Let's all work together to active support these initiatives where-ever possible – and thus grow the church in this community.
GOAL 1 – Prayer
Jesus actually commanded us to pray; and yet it can be one of the most challenging activities we are invited to do. How should we pray in order to GROW our Church? Here are 6 suggestions:
1. I will pray that the Holy Spirit will be infused within each member of the leadership team that they corporately seek to wisely lead our church into growth.
2. As I read the daily passages of scripture, let me ponder what they are actually saying to me today? How can I respond to them such that it may being life, peace and joy to others?
3. When I pray, I will allow time in quietness for God to speak to my heart. I will no longer make prayer "a one-way street" of requests.
4. As I pray each day, I will ask God to empower me through His Holy Spirit to determine at least one person that I can contact, assist, encourage, or support, and show His Grace to in humility.
5. As I pray, may God give me a spirit of generosity of time and talents towards:
- making sure the fabric of the Church is worthy of our glorious God; and
- ensuring other church members and those outside the current Christian community are experiencing God's blessings.
6. I will pray earnestly that the Holy Spirit will empower me to give generously of my wealth, without "counting the cost" to do so, to enable my Church to effectively reach out to others and provide adequately for their spiritual, physical and mental needs.
GOAL 2 – Hospitality
Hospitality – what does that mean?
Hospitality (from Wikipedia) refers to the relationship between a guest and a host. In ancient cultures hospitality involved welcoming the stranger and offering him food, shelter, and safety. In Christianity, hospitality is a virtue which is a reminder of sympathy for strangers and a rule to welcome visitors. This is a virtue found in the Old Testament, with, for example, the custom of the foot washing of visitors or the kiss of peace. It was taught by Jesus in the New Testament.
Some Relevant Bible Passages that refer to "hospitality" include:
• Romans 12 v 13: Marks of a True Christian "extend hospitality to strangers."
• 1 Timothy 5 V 10 "shown hospitality, washed the saints' feet, help the afflicted"
• 1 Peter 4 V 9 "offer hospitality to one another"
• Hebrews 13 V 2 "Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it."
• 3 John v8 "We ought to show hospitality to such men so that we may work together for the truth."
In the West today, hospitality is rarely a matter of protection and survival. However, it still involves showing respect for one's guests, providing for their needs, and treating them as equals. Cultures and subcultures vary in the extent to which one is expected to show hospitality to strangers, as opposed to personal friends or members of one's ingroup.
The suggestions that came out of the MAP workshop sessions for ways of showing hospitality included:
Developing our gifts in hospitality; Being mindful of new people & meeting their needs; Invite people (new & old) home for lunch; Arrange dine-outs with others to restaurants; Better coffee and quality of morning teas; Host functions that people can be invited to; Get togethers for new people; Different Groups to provide morning tea – Cursillo and Home Groups; Fellowship time with multiple congregations; Follow-Up and fellowship for new people; More Social events; Events not necessarily held at Church;
Newcomers events eg 4 times per year.
We encourage you to use the guidelines for Prayer and the Prayer for Growth and to ask yourself:
How might I show hospitality and help God's kingdom to grow in Waterloo Bay?
GOAL 3 – Welcoming
Welcoming – what does that mean?
The Cambridge Dictionary describes Welcoming in the following way: "To meet and speak to someone in a friendly way when they arrive."
It is often said "there is one opportunity to make a first impression" and that is so true within a Church environment.
Whilst we may have a very important and caring "Welcome Team" who greet people as they come to Church, we are in fact ALL welcomers as we create an impression on others – whether official "Welcome Team" members or not.
Some Relevant Bible Passages that refer to "welcome" include:
Matthew 10.40: Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me.
*Luke 9.48: and said to them, 'Whoever welcomes this child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me; for the least among all of you is the greatest.'
*Romans 15.7: Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God.
*Acts of the Apostles 21.17: When we arrived in Jerusalem, the brothers welcomed us warmly.
Welcoming is treating others as you would wish to be treated and can occur before or after church when we see someone who may not have attended before or has not been attending for some time.
Let's be warm, genuine, and interested in what they have to say. Introduce new visitors to others. Particularly if there is a special interest expressed during conversation and you know of someone else with the same or similar interest.
Here are some of the suggestions and reflections from the 3 MAP parishioner workshop sessions:
Welcome people even if you are not a "Welcomer"; Ensure the follow-up and identification of newcomers and those missing; Enngage/sit with new people who are new or alone at Church and Morning tea; Making a more intentional effort for genuine long-term friendships with new parishioners; Be more outgoing and welcoming to new people, encouraging them get involved; Hold more intentional Welcoming events; Be tolerant; Name Tags – wear and offer to apply for one for new-comers; Consider a follow-up and hospitality programme to welcome new people; Practice talking more with people we don't know; especially newcomers; Engage new people in real conversation, and to invite them for a cuppa after Church; Re-examine how we invite and welcome people to church and follow up newcomers; Develop a formal team of welcomers and train them; Welcoming team trained to visit newcomers
• Ask yourself, "how can I improve my welcoming habits personally, to enhance our welcoming at APWB?"
GOAL 4 – Worship
In "Being Christian in the Church", Bp Andrew Curnow wrote: "At the very centre of our experiences as churches and Christians is worship…..for Christians that means honouring God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit….Worship refers to community gatherings of adoration, praise and thanksgiving to God through Christ….it is about speaking, and listening, remembering and hoping…it involves the elements of time, space, place, symbols, human relationships, songs, words, rituals that are set apart from our ordinary everyday lives to be offered to God."
In our Parish we worship in different spaces and places – St James', St George's, in nursing homes, and "Under the Stars" at Christmas.
We use liturgies based on "A Prayer Book for Australia", but different "orders" at 715, 9 and 930 services. We use other variations in nursing homes and for Messy Church.
We use hymns, songs and music from many sources today (not just "The Australian Hymn Book" or "Together in Song").
Some questions we should ask ourselves and consider prayerfully:
• If we succeed in attracting visitors to our Church, how will they react to our worship style?
• What appeals to you about the worship style at the service you attend?
• What don't you like about the worship style at the service you attend?
• What do you find exciting when you visit another place of worship?
Here are some of the suggestions and reflections from the 3 MAP parishioner workshop sessions:
Opportunities to encourage others; Opportunities to share our Faith; Intentional Preaching; Be Tolerant – others, children…; Embrace change, new perspectives; Themed worship – Taize, Healing…; Sermons and teaching focus on prayer; Analyse worship styles; Providing accessible opportunities for worship and reflection; Being open to the influence of the Holy Spirit; Show excitement of our faith during services Alternative worship; Variety in Service eg more worship songs at beginning, use of video during sermon, different week to week; Invitation to prayer at end of service; Flexible service times; Make services "user friendly"; Reflect on why it is hard to invite others to church – space, style, music?: Consider events that would attract first timers.
In writing to the Thessalonians, Paul said "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus" (1 Thess 5 : 16 – 18).
How will we – Anglican Parish of Waterloo Bay – embrace change to foster Growth through Worship?
GOAL5 – Small Groups
In her article on 'Why Small Groups?' – The reason behind intentional Christian community,
Carolyn Taketa writes:
"These believers engaged in life together through teaching, fellowship, communion, prayer, miracles, radical generosity, and corporate worship. They spent time together eating, learning, celebrating, proclaiming the Good News, and supporting each other. In addition, the 50-plus "one another" verses in the New Testament flesh out other aspects of this community. For example, it was a place where people loved, forgave, served, bore burdens, encouraged, exhorted, prayed, equipped, spoke truth in love, confessed sins, and treated each other as precious members of one body."
In our Parish we have several types of Small Groups or Home Groups. Each group meets a specific need in respect of those who attend. Youth Small Groups, Women's Small Groups, New Christians Small Groups, Mature in Faith Small Groups.
For those not currently in Small Groups, here are some questions we should ask ourselves and consider prayerfully:
• Am I really growing my faith by attending only the Sunday service?
• Do I ever have an opportunity to discus and explore the real 'meaning of life' with others?
• Do I need something like Small Group involvement to cause me to regularly participate in Bible Study?
• Do I feel fully loved and supported by my Church family? and
• Do I currently have any opportunity to share how I really feel without judgement and fear of breach of confidentiality?
Here are some of the suggestions and reflections from the 3 MAP parishioner workshop sessions that relate to Small groups:
Connecting with the Church – (really getting to know my God Family) Promoting Small groups for Spiritual growth
Studying the Bible more; Encourage more Home/Small Groups; Encourage others; Nurturing the people who attend Church to encourage them to reach out to others; Grow my spiritual depth; More pastoral care ; Sharing our Faith; All of us to train and care for each other; Building myself up spiritually; Listen to ideas, needs and suggestions; Communicate ideas; Providing non-threatening environments for people to connect and "feel at home"; Support one another.
Did you know:
• God is a Small Group comprising Father, Son and Holy Spirit and they work in perfect harmony.
• Jesus created a Small Group of 12 Disciples whom he trained and shared His vision.
So, the Bible makes reference to Small groups and their vitality they bring.
If you are not currently a member of a Small Group at – The Anglican Parish of Waterloo Bay – Now may be the time for you to investigate more closely the tremendous value in belonging.

If you use a CRM or Marketing Automation software, you may well be familiar with the concept (and sometimes pain!) of working with duplicate records. We've outlined the different instances of duplicate data and how this may work with your integration with Akkroo.
Duplicate leads in Akkroo
Akkroo uses the email address as the unique identifier in our integrations and will mark duplicates based on this. This is similar to how Hubspot approach this challenge.
We define a duplicate record as:
"A record that has the same email address as another record collected by the same app user, at one event"
When viewing duplicates in Akkroo, these will be listed as individual records.
How these records are pushed to your integrated CRM or Marketing Automation software is dependent on your chosen update rule for your event.
- Replace existing data, including blank answers
- Insert new leads and update existing leads (matched on email)
- Insert new leads only
If you select one of the first two options, Akkroo will try to merge the data with your existing entries. If you select the last option, we will only try to create a new record.
What happens when the data reaches your system
Each of these platforms will have their own systems for determining and dealing with duplicate data.
Should you choose only to create new records this could be impacted by your duplication settings in that platform, i.e. the record will not save.
If you have chosen to update existing leads, then you may be overwriting existing data. You will lose any prior notes.

Business Coaching
We work with you to review your business and its practices providing you with an opportunity to stand back from its day to day workings and look at the bigger picture. We help you to move from working in your business to working on your business.
Our focus is to target opportunities for growth, identify potential performance improvements, and to see if your company culture is working for you or against you.
The discipline of working to and being held accountable for a medium to long term plan is often motivation for clients to continue this relationship. It will normally require the commitment to regular working sessions.
I would like to discuss business coaching
Owning and managing a business can be a very lonely and stressful experience. Often there are things that you prefer not to discuss with your employees and are reluctant to take home. This role is a mixture of advisor and confidante. Just being able to express yourself, to release your frustration, or to test ideas on someone who is not involved on a day to day basis can be hugely valuable. Typically this involves meeting monthly with telephone contact in between.
I would like to discuss your mentoring service
These are situations when you need an experienced manager to handle tasks on your behalf. You may be too busy or not have the skills or experience for something that is required infrequently. Examples we have been involved with include the selection and implementation of new software, preparing your business for sale, looking for new premises, and recruiting new staff.
I have a project I would like to discuss
There are circumstances where an experienced but temporary manager makes good sense. We have assisted when tragedy has meant the unexpected loss of a senior executive through illness, accident or death. Maternity leave, long term leave and training are other examples where it makes sense to bring in an experienced manager to fill a key role.
Please contact me regarding an assignment
Company Review
Taking time out from the "day to day" running of a business to examine various aspects of company operations in either a half or full day session to review some of these (or other) topics with an independent facilitator can be very thought provoking and a great investment. Topics such as:
- Company Culture
- Governance
- Processes
- Strengths
- Opportunities
- Issues
- Revenue
- Profit
- Cash
Products & Services
- Margins
- Competition
- Life Cycle
Sales & Marketing
- Lead Generation
- Sales Performance
- Customer Retention
Production & Delivery
- Scheduling
- Productivity
- Quality
Please contact me regarding a company review
Business Plan
Planning is an essential part of good management. This holds true both for the long term and the short term. A well thought out plan with an easy to follow structure and action plan is a must. We will help you to clarify:
Company Purpose How do we make people's lives better?
Core Values How do we make decisions?
Markets What are our markets?
5 year plan Where do we intend to be in 5 years?
1 year plan What will we have achieved in 12 months time?
3 month actions What will stop us achieving our goals
- Who will be responsible
- By when
Please contact me regarding a business plan

Trieste Style Spider Crab
- ½ onion
- lemon juice
- 3 ½ oz breadcrumbs
- 1 oz butter
- 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
- parsley to taste
- 1 spider crab , or 1 lb canned crabmeat
Cook the spider crab in a large pot of boiling water for 10 minutes.
Drain and let cool.
Remove the claws and open them with a nutcracker, removing the meat and placing it in a bowl. Using a knife and a pair of scissors, open the shell of the crab, starting with the underside.
Remove all of the meat, and mix it in the bowl with the claw meat. Then, tear it all into smaller pieces.
Alternatively, you can use canned crabmeat. In this case, drain and break apart.
Finely chop the onionand sauté in butter with the breadcrumbs, parsley, and if you have it, the roe. Remove from the heat and add the juice and the grated peel of the lemon.
Also add the oil, the crabmeat. Stir together and then use as a spread on toasted bread.
Food History
Crabs and crustaceans were considered a delicacy in ancient Rome.
In particular, Apicius, the famous Latin gastronome, described how to cook crustaceans in his book De Re Coquinaria and it seems that he was a real fan.
Legend has it that when he learned that there were extremely large lobsters living along the coast of Libya, he hired a boat and sailed there just to try them. Once he arrived and discovered that the local lobsters were almost identical to those found in Rome, he turned around and came back to Italy without even debarking.
Did you know that…
although crabs can be found almost everywhere, that they are originally from China?

May 12th 2018
NORTH VANCOUVER, BC – On Saturday afternoon at Delbrook Community Centre, a new municipal political party in the District of North Vancouver, Building Bridges Electors Society launched their campaign ahead of October's municipal election. The party announced that public servant and researcher Ash Amlani will run as their candidate for mayor.
"I am running for mayor because we need a new style of leadership at municipal hall." said Almani. "We need leadership that seeks citizen engagement and is action-oriented. We are a stronger society when people of all ages and backgrounds are heard and represented equally. As your mayor, I will bring a style of leadership that is inclusive and actively engaged. A style of leadership that puts people first."
In her speech to supporters, Amlani made it clear which issues are top of mind for residents. "People are tired of waiting for action on transportation and housing. In the last four years, traffic congestion in North Vancouver has gotten considerably worse and many residents find themselves unable to purchase a home or find a rental property in the current market. We can do better." Amlani said. "We need comprehensive, evidence-based solutions. Solutions that have been proven to work in other jurisdictions."
Amlani brings a strong resume in her bid to become the next mayor, boasting a long list of credentials and accomplishments. She's held senior roles in the BC Centre for Disease Control (BCCDC), the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans, and the Canadian Coast Guard. Known as somebody with a knack for achieving results, Amlani oversaw the advancement of many treaty and non-treaty fisheries agreements between Canada and BC First Nations. During her time at the BCCDC, Ash served as Chair for the Take Home Naloxone Advisory Board, spearheading the expansion an initiative which led to a significant reduction in opioid overdose deaths. Academically, Ash has published twelve peer reviewed papers, offering innovative policy solutions to many major public health topics. Currently, Ash is a member of the District Committee on Community Services and is an active volunteer in the Aga Khan Development Network.
Amlani extended an invitation to all North Vancouver residents, encouraging them to volunteer or run for council with the new party. "Building Bridges will be putting forward a full slate of candidates. If you want to make a difference in our community, we ask you to join us in building a strong team." She cited political deadlock as a reason for needing to elect a united council. "Long term planning can't exist when half of council always votes one way and the other half always votes another way. Electing a Building Bridges council will ensure policy is driven by common values and a common vision." Amlani went on to state that anybody interested should reach out to party organizers through their website.
"Over the next six months, we will come to you," continues Amlani. "We will listen to you at your door, on the phone, at public meetings, at local events, and through social media. We want to hear your ideas, we want to know what needs fixing and how you'd like to see us fix it. Your government belongs to you and we won't forget that. Together, we can build a community that will be prosperous and resilient for generations."
Ash is the first Ismaili, Muslim woman to run for mayor in the District of North Vancouver.
The municipal election will be held on October 20th.

Do Your Contracts Contain Evergreen Clauses?Buyers' Training
August 8, 2012 — 1,426 views
When a business enters into a financial purchase or lease agreement, it is common for the agreement to contain what is called an evergreen clause. This is the industry term for language within the contract that automatically renews a financial obligation or a lease after the original lease agreement is complete. Automatic renewals can be applied to a variety of obligations.
A simple example of this might be a monthly payment that is required throughout the contract, but automatically renews for additional periods of time unless the organization notifies the company by a certain date. Unfortunately, many evergreen clauses will lock a company into an additional period of time that is lengthy, often 12 months. For this reason, purchasing professionals must be especially diligent in understanding which evergreen clauses are included in purchasing contracts. The obligation is rarely emphasized and many customers don't realize what they are agreeing to when signing contracts.
However, Adams Kessler professional law corporation explains that evergreen clauses will typically include a notice period of 45, 60 or 90 days before automatic renewal. A customer or organization might get a notice that states the terms of the agreement will extend automatically for 12 months unless written notice is given that the services should not be renewed. A notice statement should also include how early notice must be given in order to avoid penalties or automatic renewal. The law firm suggests purchasing professionals and businesses do their best to eliminate evergreen clauses from all contracts in order to avoid this. Before entering into a purchase, lease or any other type of contract agreement, they should look for the evergreen clauses and replace them so they become month-to-month after the initial term.
Purchasing professionals and their companies would do well to put together a binder of all existing contracts and highlight all evergreen clauses. The source recommends they set a calendar with reminder dates at least 60-90 days prior to the renewal notice. By being aware of this clause before the notice comes, a purchasing department has the opportunity to review the vendor or services and decide if they would like to give notice of non-renewal. Finally, before signing anything, purchasing professionals should obtain a contract checklist that includes legal review.

For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: walk.
The print is from today's beach walk. Interesting, isn't it? And here are more.
For Wordless Wednesday.
I am thinking of the phrase "Places in the world a woman would walk." I know it's by Grace Paley. A short story? A line in a story?
Do you feel safe walking in your neighborhood? Or on a beach near you or in a forest? If you are male, do you thinks it's safe for a woman to walk alone in your neighborhood? Do you feel differently about a male? And the same questions to woman.
And is there an age limit? Is it safe for me to walk the beach alone because my hair is mostly white? What about my son and daughter, both in their 20s?
Safety is relative. One of the unsafe things about our beaches is the warnings about an earthquake and tsunami. We have sand cliffs that will most certainly collapse. I walk the beach and eye the cliffs. There is some luck involved and I accept that.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: crepitus.
I wrote this poem thinking about my sister in 2009. I was writing on everything2.com and they had a "masked poetry ball". We put up a second identity and part of the contest was guessing who was who. My brother in law and my sister had been on the site for far longer than me. While I was masked, my brother in law sent me a message that the poem reminded him of his wife. Yes, I thought, that poem worked, because I wrote it about her.
And she's walking as if her feet hurt
And she's walking as if her feet hurt
Each first metatarsal hits the dirt
Each joint feels like it's full of grit
Bone on bone and all that shit
And she's walking as if her feet hurt
Each first metatarsal hits the dirt
It's no surprise, in fact it grates
To know she carries all those weights
Please rest your feet sometimes my dears
Those silly joints must last for years
One of the many dark deep fears
To walk in pain for years and years
And she's walking as if her feet hurt
Each first metatarsal hits the dirt
I wish that she could go on home
And put her feet up all alone
I took the picture, of my sister and my son, in 1993 in Portland, Oregon. My sister injured her knee fighting fires when she was 22. Her knee worked after the surgery, but with crepitus within ten years. And her feet started to hurt.
For the Ragtag Daily Prompt: walk.
My daughter was home for Thanksgiving and we went for a daily beach walk.
Daily haiku or senryu for fun
An untethered tree finding its way to the sun and developing roots
All about opioid addiction and its treatment with medication
explorations on the journey of living

JC screamed: I did it! I did it! I did it! Seems JC was doing his stand up comedy routine at the Improv in LA last week, and was discovered by a couple Hollywood Big Whigs. They offered JC a movie deal which will be called "The Marlin Chronicles" It looks as if JC demanded the lead role, and things got a little crazy, when JC slugged the director, then put him in aRope-hung figure-four armlock, telling the guy, the lead role is mine little man!! JC then said: "Not only that, you Hollywood wanna be, Chris my buddy will be getting the supporting actor role"!! JC went on, by putting the director in a Camel Clutch Hold and told the director and producer to sign on the dotted line now!! Oh and by the way JC screamed: "Darrel will be getting a small role in the movie"as he has acting experience when he was a little kid, he was a child actor, playing Little Rickys friend on the "I Love Lucy Show"and doing another skit as Fred and Ethel Merts stepson: "Danny the Brat" he also played a role on Gunsmoke, playing Festuses illegitimate Gran child "Bobbysue". JC says: "that worm Fish Report Boy isn't getting nothing" in this film, he isn't worthy of me or my professional status. Let him continue writing that dum report he writes for me!!!
JC,s LEGEND and LIES will continue next week!!!

Protecting Our Future: Emergency Preparedness and Children's Mental Health
Among the many lessons learned during the 2017 Hurricane season, we recognized that addressing children's mental and behavioral health needs is a major concern in hurricane-affected areas. CDC's At Risk Task Force (ARTF) was established in 2017 to ensure identification and prioritization of the mental and physical health needs of at-risk populations, including children.

Market regulator SEBI today paved the way for Indian investors to trade in large indices of 24 global exchanges, including that of US, Europe and Asia. As per a SEBI circular, Indian exchanges will be able to provide trading in derivatives contracts of these global indices. Interestingly, one of the world"s largest bourse LSE, with whom two Indian exchanges NSE and MCX SX have tied up for cross listing of their indices, is not on the list approved by SEBI for the new guidelines.
"It has been decided to permit stock exchanges to introduce derivatives contracts (Future and Options) on foreign stock indices in the equity derivatives segment," Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) said in a circular.
The index should have a market capitalisation of at least USD 100 billion and it should consists of at least 10 constituent stocks.
"No single constituent stock (should have) more than 25 per cent of the weight, computed in terms of free float market capitalisation, in the index," it said.
SEBI further said that after introduction of derivatives on a particular stock index, if that index fails to meet the eligibility criteria for three months consecutively, no fresh contract shall be introduced on that index.
The trading in derivatives on foreign indices would be restricted to Indian residents only.
Last year in March, the National Stock Exchange (NSE), the largest stock exchange in India, and CME Group, the worlds leading and most diverse derivatives marketplace announced cross-listing arrangements, including licence agreements covering benchmark indexes for the US and Indian equities.
This had allowed S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average to trade in NSE, subject to regulatory approvals.
Besides, BSE has similar arrangement with Eurex Frankfurt AG, Europe"s leading financial futures exchange.
In July last year, NSE and the London Stock Exchange entered into a deal to evaluate the options of cross-listing of key indices on each other"s platforms.
In 2009, MCX SX signed such an agreement with FTSE, which is a joint venture between the London Stock Exchange and the Financial Times of the UK.
"The absolute numerical value of the underlying foreign stock index shall be denominated in Indian Rupees. The derivatives contracts on that foreign stock index would be denominated traded and settled in Indian rupees," the circular said.
The SEBI today also allowed indices of Tokyo Stock Exchange, Hong Kong Exchanges, among others, to trade in Indian bourses.

Riding in style
Brock University Athletics recently unveiled a tour bus that the badgers will take on tour for away games as well as varsity games around the city. The bus is fully decked out in Badger graphics, and is intimidating as a honey badger itself. Seeing the bus pull into an event this season with the tagline, "100 championships and counting" is sure to raise cheers from any loyal Badger crowd, especially with the upcoming Homecoming games.
Men's Lacrosse starts season on a high note
Opening their 2014 CUFLA season against the Laurier Golden Hawks, the Brock University men`s lacrosse team prevailed with a final of 33-3.
Playing on the road at Laurier, the teams both scored early in the game, with the Badgers eventually putting out an astounding 19 goals without giving any back in the third quarter. This was followed by 13 more and none yielded in the final, with newcomer Justin Avbar in goal.
Of the 14 scoring players on Brock`s side, Kyle Davis (Caledon East, Ont.) led the pack with five goals and four assists, totalling a game – high nine points.
You can see the men next against the McMaster Marauders on Sept. 13 at 2:00 p.m. and the Guelph Gryphons on Sept. 14 at 2 p.m., here at Brock University.
Brock men's soccer falls to opponents
This past Saturday afternoon, the men's soccer team were denied any goals in a loss against the Windsor Lancers on Brock Badger's Field.
Both sides showed a great effort in the first half of play, with each gaining a key scoring opportunity but ultimately failing to capitalize on them at the credit of each side's keeper. The game remained at 0-0 long past the half-way minute.
However, early in the second half the Lancers would gain two in less than as many minutes, with Bobby Evans (#47) and Kyle Ruggaber (#48) putting one each past Brock's keeper Jake Sweetzer (Mississauga, Ont.) without assist.
At the other goal, Winsdor's keeper Sam Atkin tallied six saves for the shutout, with Sweetzer picking up three to drop his season record to 0-1-2.
OUA opener sees Brock baseball beat McMaster
This past Sunday, Brock's baseball team (2-0 OUA, 8-0 overall) took the McMaster Marauders for two games at Bernie Arbour Stadium in Hamilton. The OUA season opened with two-games on the road, won by Brock at 15-1 and 15-0.
In the first game the Badgers gained 15 runs with senior Chris Anderi (Tecumseh, Ont.) leading with 4-for-4 and four RBI.
On the other side, Marauder Travis Flint led his crew with just under half the team's score, going 2-for-3.
Pitching for Brock was Daniel Veres, a southpaw throwing five innings and giving no runs on six hits, with only three walks and a strikeout. Pitching relief were Dylan Perago and Matt Watson, each throwing a single shutout inning.

I would like to know whether it is possible to transfer the work permit of a locally employed engineer before completion of 1 year's service if the company terminates the employment.
Also I wish to know if the such a transfer is possible when a locally hired employee (engineering graduate) resigns before completing 1 year with the new employer.
Your advice will be helpful to a great extent for me and other employees with related cases.
Name withheld
Answer: Yes, you are entitled to a release and transfer if your services are terminated by the company before the completion of one year's service, in fact at any point of your service.
Secondly, you are entitled to a transfer — provided your employer gives you a release — even if you resign before completion of one year … provided you are a university graduate.

Good Food Made Simple – Product Review
A while back I was searching for pre-made eggs for some easy freezer breakfast sandwiches and stumbled upon Good Food Made Simple Egg White Patties but felt a bit iffy on my purchase. How good can egg whites be, right? Boy was I wrong!
These patties are delicious and quickly became a breakfast staple within our house. I use them for easy breakfast sandwiches or chopped up for a quick breakfast burrito. So when I got a couple free product coupons from Social Nature – A site that allows you to request free product samples (or coupons to get the product for free) and rewards you when share your reviews via Social Media.
Along with the egg patties, I was able to score some all natural Pancake Puffs, which I just had to try right away, and found them as delicious as is, but can't wait to find more ways to use them other then a simple breakfast, Maybe dusted with cinnamon sugar or powdered sugar and dipped in a nice warm nutella dip?
Have you tried Good Food Made Simple products, what is your favorite?

Sorry to say I haven't tried it but I think I will thanks.
I have never tried Good Food Made Simple products but they sound tasty! We are always so busy in the morning that some of the products would be great to grab a quick meal rather than skipping. Sadly, I usually just end up drinking a cup of coffee for breakfast! The puffs sound yummy - do you warm them or eat them cold?
I do not think I have tried it but I should. Nice post.
