Resolved Yellow Pages USA — bogas soliciation
A few weeks ago I received a call from a collection agency (called Revenue Assurance Partners) and they were very nasty said I owed for the yellow pages. I called her back and she said since I mailed in a check in 2007 I still owed $295.00. So I went to my file cabinet (I keep detailed files) and low and behold I made a copy of the invoice and mailed a check to them. No granted my bookkeeper would attached the checkes to be signed to the bills (my fault) but it clearly looks just like my yellow page invoice with the fingers walking. The envelope did not have solicitation on it. So I called back and said yes I did mail it by mistake and I don't want this. She was rude again so I hung up. I went next door to another business and guess what they too almost paid this bogas bill. I asked to see it and I asked to keep it. It says on the front YellowPagesUSA processing center and the description of services. "Annual Internet Yellow Pages USA Listing" Now how would you take that, they bill every year and how many people turn over their bill and read it. On the back it says, "You may cancel this 3 year contract without penalty or obligation within 3 business days from the date of payment and receive a full refund or you may cancel this contract if upon a doctor's order you cannot physically receive the service." I kid you not.

Change It wasn't trendy , funny, nor was it coined on Twitter , but we thought change told a real story about how our users defined Unlike in , change was no longer a campaign slogan. But, the term still held a lot of weight. Here's an excerpt from our Word of the Year announcement in The national debate can arguably be summarized by the question: In the past two years, has there been enough change?

If you can look past the terrible haircut, you will notice the HUGE freaking tooth! Could Megalodon still be alive? Common believe among the scientific community is that Megalodon went extinct around 1,5 million years ago. However, there is also a group of scientists who believe Megalodon could actually be alive and well today — lurking somewhere in the depths of our unexplored ocean.
What could have done this? New creatures are being discovered all the time — including some that were believed to have gone extinct millions of years ago.

Healthy and happy, they were physically indistinguishable from each other, but even as infants their personalities seemed to diverge. Jonas and Nicole Maines are first-year students at the University of Maine.

Share A district of the Balkan Peninsula, which has varied in extent at different periods. To the Greek geographers Illyria he Illyris or to Illyrikon connoted the eastern shore of the Adriatic Sea and the adjoining mountainous territory stretching into the interior, all of which was the abode of Illyrian tribes. One section of the Illyrian people had migrated to Italy, first to central Italy, where there are traces of them in Picenum and Umbria; later, towards the middle of the eighth century B.
Even the Illyrians who remained behind never achieved national unity. The kingdom of Bardylis and his son Kleitos, who settled in Macedonia, rose to some importance in the fourth century B. Rome when called on by Issa, one of these Greek cities, took a hand in Illyrian affairs for the first time, and put an end to this peril.

📒David Foster Wallace S Infinite Jest ✍ Stephen Burn
✏David Foster Wallace s Infinite Jest Book Summary : This is part of a new series of guides to contemporary novels. The aim of the series is to give readers accessible and informative introductions to some of the most popular, most acclaimed and most influential novels of recent years - from 'The Remains of the Day' to 'White Teeth'. A team of contemporary fiction scholars from both sides of the Atlantic has been assembled to provide a thorough and readable analysis of each of the novels in question.
📒Infinite Jest ✍ Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York, N.Y.)
✏Infinite Jest Book Summary : Published in conjunction with an exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, Sept. 13, 2011-Mar. 4, 2012.
📒David Foster Wallace S Infinite Jest ✍ Stephen J. Burn
✏David Foster Wallace s Infinite Jest Book Summary : Infinite Jest has been hailed as one the great modern American novels and its author, David Foster Wallace, who committed suicide in 2008, as one of the most influential and innovative authors of the past 20 years. Don DeLillo called Infinite Jest a "three-stage rocket to the future," a work "equal to the huge, babbling spin-out sweep of contemporary life," while Time Magazine included Infinite Jest on its list of 100 Greatest Novels published between 1923-2006. David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest: A Reader's Guide was the first book to be published on the novel and is a key reference for those who wish to explore further. Infinite Jest has become an exemplar for difficulty in contemporary Fiction-its 1,079 pages full of verbal invention, oblique narration, and a scattered, nonlinear, chronology. In this comprehensively revised second edition, Burn maps Wallace's influence on contemporary American fiction, outlines Wallace's poetics, and provides a full-length study of the novel, drawing out the most important themes and ideas, before surveying Wallace's post-Infinite Jest output, including The Pale King.
📒Infinite Jest ✍ David Foster Wallace
✏Infinite Jest Book Summary : 'A writer of virtuostic talents who can seemingly do anything' New York Times 'Wallace is a superb comedian of culture . . . his exuberance and intellectual impishness are a delight' James Wood, Guardian 'He induces the kind of laughter which, when read in bed with a sleeping partner, wakes said sleeping partner up . . .

The design of the original work has established itself so firmly as a workable solution to the immense problems of analysis, articulation and coordination that it has been retained in all its essentials for the new edition. The task of the new contributors has been to revise and integrate the lists of 1940 and 1957, to add materials of the following decade, to correct and refine the bibliographical details already available, and to re-shape the whole according to a new series of conventions devised to give greater clarity and consistency to the entries.
📒Existentialist Engagement In Wallace Eggers And Foer ✍ Allard den Dulk
✏Existentialist Engagement in Wallace Eggers and Foer Book Summary : The novels of David Foster Wallace, Dave Eggers and Jonathan Safran Foer are increasingly regarded as representing a new trend, an 'aesthetic sea change' in contemporary American literature. 'Post-postmodernism' and 'New Sincerity' are just two of the labels that have been attached to this trend. But what do these labels mean? What characterizes and connects these novels? Den Dulk shows that the connection between these works lies in their shared philosophical dimension. On the one hand, they portray excessive self-reflection and endless irony as the two main problems of contemporary Western life. On the other hand, the novels embody an attempt to overcome these problems: sincerity, reality-commitment and community are portrayed as the virtues needed to achieve a meaningful life. This shared philosophical dimension is analyzed by viewing the novels in light of the existentialist philosophies of Søren Kierkegaard, Jean-Paul Sartre, Ludwig Wittgenstein and Albert Camus.
📒Sticker Nation 2 ✍ Srini Kumar

In 1994, while working the swing shift at the Kinko's in Menlo Park, California, Srini Kumar made a name for himself as one of the most popular sticker artists in the world. People everywhere have cracked up hysterically at the witty wonder of his one-man rebellion. His first "Big Book of Subversive Stickers" was an immediate hit and has sold out after a third and final printing, making it an in-demand collector's item. This all-new second volume of stickers once again makes these cult favorite slogans available to the general public in a collectible format. Use them, save them, give them away—they're so cheap you can buy multiple copies of the book and still be spending less than buying just a few stickers on their own.
📒Periphery ✍ Lynne Jamneck
✏Periphery Book Summary : Periphery is as much about the female perspective of the future as it is an exploration of individual identity in a world increasingly dominated by technology. How do we define our humanity, if not by the way we connect to others? Yet, even in the realm of the physical and the sensual, technology continues to change perspectives on what it means to be human. Through the stories collected in Periphery, we experience the intersection between a number of possible futures, and how we will continue to discover through our fallible emotions what it means to be human.

About Lou
I am married to a wonderful wife, and we have four daughters. We moved to in Orlando just in time for Hurricane Irma in September 2017 after retiring from the Air Force in 2012 and staying in Northern Virginia. Maria might be your flight attendant on Southwest Airlines. Vanessa, our eldest, works for Disney. Victoria, 2 of 4, now lives in Orlando after an active duty stint in Air Force at Andrews AFB, MD. Jennifer, next in line, is active duty after graduating from the Air Force Academy in Colorado. Our youngest, Emy, works for Disney and Universal and can do some amazing freehand drawing.
Lou purchased this House in 2003
Why Lou chose Four Corners
We bought this home because Indian Creek is a nice, quiet community which is one of the closest to Walt Disney World.
What makes this House unique
Mickey's Manor is our first home, and we like this home because the swimming pool has a wading area with a fountain that is great for the kids playing. This home is also our only one with bamboo hardwood flooring.

Birdwatching for me is a meditative practice. It involves immersing myself in nature and finding a quiet place from which I can observe.
I begin with a prayer of acknowledgment and gratitude. I ready my camera and then I listen. Each bird has its own song and variations. It helps me determine where I want to focus, so I'm not frantically trying to follow the flitting of all the birds.
Not that I'm expert. I recognize many of the regulars by now, and there are still many I do not know. Listening helps me turn off my thoughts and centre myself on the goal.
This week, let's focus on the art of listening.
To participate, create a post and then pingback here, or drop a link in the comments. I look forward to your responses.
She was quite eccentric, and visibly older than most of the students attending our program. I'd had five years between first and second year, so I guess she was drawn to my maturity. We both wanted to be teachers.
After graduation, she went on to her Bachelor of Education, and I gave birth to my third child. The next time we encountered each other, I was the parent and she was the teacher. Eccentric as ever. The kids loved her.
Except for the one that didn't. That one complained that she touched the kids too much – her hugs and hair stroking unwelcome. Her license was at stake.
"If I can't touch my kids, then I can't teach," she told me in confidence.
I never knew what became of the investigation, but years later when I would follow in her footsteps and have my own classes, I thought of her. It's in my nature to touch, too.
The focus this week has been on the subject of touch. Thank you to all the participants for touching me with your creativity. Virtual hugs all around.

(For Cee's Flower of the Day.)
Where does the river go
when snow, blinding
claims the flow?
Houses nestled in wooded groves
shudder at the exposure of leafless days
brace against the chills of early eves.
How quickly we rejoice
at first thaw, eager to embrace
change – emotion often premature.
(For Lens-artists Photo Challenge: Winter)
"Dear Grandma,
We love you with all our hearts. We miss you and wish we could
touch you and have sleepovers all the time. You are the best girl
in the world and I love you so much and hate the coronavirus."
The note came in a homemade card, created and dictated by my four-year-old granddaughter. Touching people is the thing she misses the most.
"When this is over, I'm going to be giving lots of hugs," my neighbour warns me. Seems he misses touch also.
This week let's consider the role that touch plays in our lives.
To participate, create a post and link back here. Look forward to your responses. Photographs, poetry, prose, or any other form of creativity are welcome.
Scratch any cynic and you will find a disappointed idealist.– George Carlin
Born of losses,
the way I steel myself –
hard core belying
What if I acknowledged,
gave name to the pain –
forgave the circumstances
forgave myself?
Would I then melt
into softness, words
losing harshness
joy taking hold?
This week's challenge was centred around the quotation:
"Strive to be uncynical, to be a hope-giving force, to be a steward of substance."
(Maria Popova)
The responses are thought-provoking, inspiring, and entertaining. Please have a read:

A UN-backed boost for women-run businesses in the developing world
Many women running small businesses in emerging markets in developing countries have to juggle their business objectives with family obligations and personal savings goals. By supporting a women-focused bond providing loans to microfinance institutions and impact enterprises, the UN is helping women entrepreneurs facing similar challenges, to succeed in their professional and private lives.
Sokkheng, who runs a village store in Cambodia with her husband, lacked confidence when it comes to choosing the best approach to reinvest in her business, potentially making her vulnerable to economic and financial risks.
Today, her prospects have markedly improved, thanks to the support of a microfinance institution with a history of promoting the well-being of rural society, backed by a loan from the world's first financial product focused on women to be listed on a stock exchange; the product is called the Women's Livelihood Bond Series (WLB Series) and has been launched by Impact Investment Exchange (IIX).
Microfinance, major impact
The microfinance company approved a microloan for Sokkheng's store and, crucially, provided expert financial advice. According to a UN-backed study, around 89 per cent of Cambodian adults find it challenging to manage their personal finances.
Financial education is an important way to ensure that more people can establish savings priorities, spend in a smarter way and, crucially for women entrepreneurs such as Sokkheng, feel more fully informed when they take out loans or look for other forms of financial support.
Armed with the information she received, Sokkheng now has better cash management knowledge, helping her to improve the profitability of her business. She also signed up for microinsurance, which now provide her with additional economic security in times of emergencies.
Forging stronger bonds
The microfinance institution that helped Sokkheng has been able to scale up its operations and help more women borrowers, thanks to IIX's WLB1, the first in a series of gender bonds, listed on the Singapore Exchange. IIX's WLB Series is designed to create sustainable livelihoods for some two million women in Cambodia, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and India.
Following the success of the first bond, the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (ESCAP) and the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF), have partnered to provide support for the second bond in the series.
This support came in the form of a grant to help IIX to undertake impact monitoring and to help scale up the WLB Series.
The second WLB (WLB2), a $12 million bond, focuses on supporting 250,000 women in the region: capital is lent to several microfinance institutions and impact enterprises (companies which look to make a positive impact to society, alongside making a profit), chosen because they improve women's access to finance, essential goods, assets that generate income, and vocational training.
Commenting on the launch of the second bond, Armida Salsiah Alisjahbana, Under-Secretary-General and Executive Secretary of ESCAP, said "we are proud to announce our partnership with IIX's Women's Livelihood Bond Series, which embodies the bold innovations that are needed to advance progress for the world's poorest communities."
Judith Karl, Executive Secretary of UNCDF, said, "We are excited to work with IIX, ESCAP, the Rockefeller Foundation and other key partners to demonstrate that viable investment vehicles can be created to attract finance from the international capital markets to the countries and people that need it most."
Life for Sokkheng and her family has been transformed by IIX and microfinance: her business has expanded, and her household income has grown. She can now set aside savings every month, and look forward to a comfortable, and secure retirement.
UK airlines call for the tax break to help boost demand
Every industry sector has taken a massive hit from the ugly Covid-19 pandemic of 2020. The coronavirus has affected everything for as far as you can see, and even beyond that. Of course, some industries have taken a more severe hit than others- the airline industry being one of them.
One of the essential preventive measures that we have learned to take during this Covid-19 pandemic is social distancing and home isolation. Since the coronavirus is a global pandemic, affecting every country, there is hardly any safe place left for us to retreat to. Being in closed spaces for some time with others is also forbidden, which makes travel and tourism, primarily via air travel, completely closed off as an option.
In the UK, it has been noted that the airlines, ground handling, and even airports have received some amount of relief from the government. This has come in the form of loans as well as government employment support schemes. However, there has still not been any specific package from the government for the industry. Taking this into account, several UK airlines have requested a tax break, which can help the industry boost their demand and, thus, stand up on their feet once again.
A group which represented some UK airlines such as British Airways, Ryanair and EasyJethave called on the government to allow a suspension of tax on their flights. The airlines feel that this will help them to boost their demand, after having faced a severe fall due to the coronavirus pandemic.
What exactly do the UK airlines have in mind?
The Covid-19 pandemic has affected the airline industry in a whole and harsh way. Although the airlines and airports have received great help, the industry itself is still suffering. Keeping this in mind, the UK airlines have asked the government to waive Air Passenger Duty for at least one year. This will help to save up to 8,000 jobs and also save routes in this industry, which has faced immense loss due to the coronavirus. By now, there have already been up to 30,000 job cuts, and there could still be many more to come.
A sharp contrast is noticed in other European countries, where the government has stepped up to help quite instantly. Countries like France have granted their airline industry Air France around 7 billion Euros in the way of state-backed loans and other air. This aid has been immensely advantageous to the industry, helping them survive in these dire times.
Are tougher times coming up?
Several UK airlines have voiced their concerns over the upcoming winter season. They have stated that this season is particularly hard on the airline industry, as fewer people prefer to travel. With the winter creeping up steadily, the UK airline industry needs some form of aid at the earliest possible from their government to stay on their feet.
Tim Alderslade, the Airlines UK CEO, expressed concern that without adequate Government support for the airline sector, the UK airports run a genuine risk of losing some valuable routes, and of course, suffering enormous financial losses. An emergency APD waiver can help the airline industry get through the harsh wintertime and also go along the road of recovery.
This APD waiver could necessarily help in boosting the passenger demand in their industry by at least 12% in the coming 12 months.
What is APD tax?
APD tax, or Air Passenger Duty tax, is a tax that is added by the government on passenger flights in the UK. The tax adds about 13 more pounds to their airfares for passengers, for just an economy flight between the United Kingdom and Europe. However, when this APD tax is added to other kinds of flights, such as long haul flights in business class, then the additional price may amount to 170 pounds more.
How can reducing or removing APD tax be beneficial?
Heathrow has held a long-standing position that APD tax is unnecessary and a burden on competitiveness, investment, and tourism. The policy change would necessarily not impact transfer passengers flying on domestic routes.
The total cost savings that could be made by UK passengers could cause a potential increase in demands. Along with that, it could also stimulate up to an 8% increase in point-to-point demand on domestic routes (Heathrow) under a 100% reduction scenario. This could, potentially, equate to around 75,000 more round trips per annum. In the case of a 50% reduction scenario, the increase in demand could be seen up to 4%, which is equivalent to around 37,000 round trips.
By reducing the APD tax, not only do the domestic passengers get immense benefits, but passengers flying on local routes in the UK could also enjoy several benefits.
The reduction of APD tax can also reduce the cost of air travel expenses to and fro from other UK regions. Under the 100% reduction scenario, this could reduce the price up to 225 million euros per year. Under the 50% reduction scenario, it could see a reduction of 112 million Euro per annum.
What other benefits could be seen by reducing or wavering APD?
If the government were to waiver the APD taxes for at least a year, it could also enable several IT businesses as well as financial service sectors in Northern Ireland and Scotland's main cities to retain their strong links with London, and even beyond. It could foster the trading of knowledge with the cost-efficient flights.
Not just that, this APD tax break could also improve the viability of newer domestic connections, as the cost of air travel for passengers would significantly reduce.
The proposal has been set in front of the UK Government, who will review it and inform the airline industry of their decision. Of course, it can be seen how this tax break can help in boosting passenger demand for domestic flights, and help out the airlines industry to overcome this unforeseen disaster. Although the Government aid provided to airports and airlines is being applauded, this move could be a lifesaver for the UK airline industry.
If your business is facing hardship or you are worried about debt or taxes, then we urge you to act as soon as possible.

Instagram is the Most Business-Friendly Social Media App: Here's Why
People love scrolling through Instagram in the morning, double tapping pictures as they come along. Because of its increased user count, as well as the inspiring images on Instagram, the app is perfect for commerce and business. It is the most business-friendly social media app for five reasons.
Promoted Content
Instagram allows its users to promote content across the app. For a small fee, users can make their posts show up on a number of users' pages. These posts can also cater to those who are most likely to interact with the Instagram account and follow the page. Furthermore, Instagrammers are able to link their products to pictures in their posts. This is a commerce-friendly tool that lets consumers get information about the product they are seeing quickly. These same Instagrammers can make their content more appealing to the eye by buying real likes on Instagram. They can buy cheap IG likes to make their branded content stand out. The more likes, the more people are going to be intrigued by the product post. By letting Instagram know the audience the user wants a post to reach, their budget, and the duration of the promotion, the app can create a promoted post that best fits the individual.
The new fad in social media marketing is the use of influencers. Instagrammers will have high follower counts and engagement are paid to showcase products on their pages. Celebrities from the likes of Kim Kardashian to Vanessa Hudgens are paid big money to post ads on their Instagram feeds. Businesses don't need to pay high costs on celebrities, though- they can use micro influencers. Micro influencers have thousands over followers, but not so many that they are recognized in public. These influencers have specific interests that help brands market their products through them. Because they have a loyal following for their expertise, these influencers are trusted, yet affordable. If a business's product appears in an influencer's post, more people are bound to see it, and the commerce will ensue. Entrepreneurs and businesses may be able to further themselves to an influencer level by receiving more followers and likes, something that is easily done by posting interesting, innovativeand informative content on Instagram. Influencers can really help out an up and coming Instagrammer who has yet to find their audience.
Amazing Visuals
Another great aspect of Instagram for commerce are the visuals. People can see a product in business in so many different ways. This helps customers gain a better understanding of what the corporation is about, and how their products work.
The simplest visual a person on Instagram can use is a picture. Pictures share a unique and basic glimpse into what the product is. Businesses can further entice viewers by adding filters, stickers, and other cool visuals to the photo. If they have multiple pictures they want to upload, they can do that, too. Instagram has a lot of great features for helping pictures do their best and tell a story.
Videos are another simple, yet effective, type of visual. The videos on Instagram can only be so long, so viewers won't easily tire of them online. If they do, they can easily swipe through and find something more interesting to them. Videos help spruce up the dynamic of the page.
One last form (though there are plenty more) of Instagram visual is the Boomerang. The Boomerang is like a picture, but instead of playing forward the whole time, it loops backward – just like a boomerang. This gives Instagram posts something edgy and playful. Boomerangs are a win-win visual, and the best of both the photo world and the video world.
Personable Feed
People don't know the face and customers behind a brand. They can say slogans and jingles off the top of their heads, but they rarely know the founder or owner of that company. Instagram eliminates the middle ground between creator and consumer. They can give a behind-the-seek look at what a business is, and the people who support it. People opt to buy commerce from a brand when they trust it. Instagram helps build that trust.
Quality Engagement
As mentioned before, people want to find the personality behind the business. This can be done through a higher quality of engagement online. Instagram allows corporations to talk directly to their consumers through a number of ways.
Instagram stories let people share their thoughts and ideas momentarily (24 hrs.) When the time is up, that story disappears as if it was never there. Audiences want to see more of what the Instagrammers they follow are doing in day to day life. This is beneficial to businesses because it helps them endorse themselves, while also engaging their audiences. Stories have many features as well that can be utilized when reaching out to an audience.
- Questions
- Polls
- Music Sharing
- Post Sharing
- Location
- Filters
- Stickers
- Live Videos
These are few of many tools that can be used on Instagram stories to give a company or entrepreneur more edge and increase the likelihood that they will sell their product.
Likes and Comments
Another form of quality engagement comes in the form of likes and comments. Instagrammers want to receive likes. They want to feel heard. By liking and commenting on other posts, Instagrammers are challenging others to do the same, which will help boost their engagement rates. This further instills the idea that their Instagram is important, and that other people should follow and like that businesses stuff, too.
Instagram has changed the way in which ads and promotions work. Why waste time and money on a 30 second commercial, when that same commercial could be posted on Instagram? Instagram is the most commerce-friendly app because of its promoted content, influencers, visuals, personable style, and its stories. When businesses start to trust in Instagram, they will understand it is great for getting their name, brand, and product heard about. Until then, they can work on getting their posts viewed.
Business As Unusual – The Winners And Losers Of The Coronavirus Battle
Few could have anticipated a global pandemic that would turn entire industries upside down in a matter of weeks.Some businesses have been driven to the brink of destruction; others have adapted or even flourished.But even for the companies in that last category, success has come at a price; is the Coronavirus pandemic really a battle with no winners?
These are the questions being asked in the new podcast series 'Making it Work'. In special episodes just released, host Tom Scallon and co-presenter Kelli Martin speak to a diverse range of entrepreneurs and small businesses owners to find out how they're coping COVID-19 and what their challenges and experiences are.
Feeling the Impact
AnaOno provides lingerie and support to women who have undergone mastectomies. "We're an essential business. Patients need us to help recover and to get through their treatment," says founder Dana Donofree. Conversely, Diana Ganz's wedding attire business is struggling to make ends meet. "I thought we were somewhat protected – who'd reschedule their wedding? God, was I wrong."
Others have fared better. Skateboard wheel manufacturer Shark Wheel saw a boom in sales. "Our sales are off the chart," says founder David Patrick. "Our business is up – triple, quadruple what it would normally be at this time of year."
That doesn't guarantee a smooth ride.Startups have to spend constantly to sustain growth, and the owner is often the last one to get paid.Prime meats and fresh food supplier Danny Catulloadds, "It's unfair to expect any small business to keep that sort of cash or credit ready to go. The government needs to help out so that we can get back on our feet."
The Relief Lottery
Ah yes, the government. Aid programs have simply failed to deliver. "We applied to the small business disaster relief and paycheck protection programs on the first day. I've heard nothing.We're trying to keep our employees employed but if there's no sign of this money, it's going to be very difficult."Dana agrees. "It's frustrating to know that the money's there, but it's almost like winning the lottery."
Danny has actually employ more staff to keep up with demand."However, I have many friends and colleagues that are struggling financially and closing down. To experience a successful run while friends aren't is difficult."
David shares the survivor guilt. "You made it when everybody else didn't. We've got people that are facing losing their homes, their futures. How do you console somebody when they're like that?"
So is it a Darwinian survival-of-the-fittest situation? "No. The ones that are survivors survived. I think the other ones… there were probably five or six different economic things that would have wiped them out."
Diana agrees. "You have to have a plan. If doomsday comes– what does it look like for your business, and can you survive it? But A twelve-month scenario is very complex – we also have to assume that our countries of manufacturing are also in trouble."
Communication and Isolation
Communication has changed during the crisis. "I find myself on Zoom calls every hour and then I'm not getting my work done. I've limited what days I will take phone calls and Zooms to make sure that I have the commitment to the business that it needs."
Diana has seen the positive side ofisolation. "Our team is being much more productive working from home. Things like blogging or social content writing – you cannot get stuff like that done when you're sitting at a table of five other people."
Isolation doesn't work for everyone, however. "It's just really not fun being here by myself," says David. His approach has been to turn the situation on its head."I'm going to focus more on my mental health, with being happy in a Zen mode rather than really enjoying the chaotic mode."
Community Spirit
David's biggest adaptation, however, was to his operating model. David realised that his 3D printing technology could help with the shortage of PPE in US hospitals."I had to go buy and set up a lot of hardware – 13 3D printers and all the material." Aside from the huge setup effort, this community initiative is adding four hours a day to his workload.
Community interactions go in both directions. First-time customers who'd never been to Danny'sseen anonymous donations coming in to buy food for the hard-working crew."I think this virus has shed a light on how essential a lot of unheralded workers are to our economy, to our normal everyday lives."
Looking to the Future
One thing that has become patently clear is that resting on your laurels is an even shakier strategy than many had realised. "Either you innovate or you imitate," says David. "It's much more risk to be an innovator but if you're not innovating in your business, you risk catastrophe."
Danny adds,"We've been in business for three generations.We've survived through so many different crises and made sure that we have pivoted along the way to change our business model."
The cold, hard practicalities are also important. "Save your cash," says Diana."Talk to every possible vendor you can about deferring payments, hold on to your cash. Plan for paying out 60, 90 days. Don't be ashamed to do it. Everybody is doing this, and I mean everybody."
And finally, it's vitally important to remember that not all of the plans for the future need to be tied to business. "The first thing I'm going to do when this is over is my husband and I are going to take a vacation. I'm going to go off the grid and we're going to go somewhere and really, really enjoy our life and enjoy ourselves for a few days as soon as we are able."
Filling a much-needed gap, 'Making It Work' is a free global podcast featuring 12 episodes in total providing real case studies from a diversity of business owners on the ground. Their shared experiences and challenges can provide SME's and entrepreneurs with the insights to steer their business through the uncertainty and perhaps even identify the opportunities. Of particular interest will be the two-part COVID-19 SPECIAL launched in JunePart I – How Are Small Businesses Staying Alive? and Part 2 – How Do You Run a Business During Lockdown?
Most great ideas are, after all, preceded by chaos!

As the pandemic strains supplies, Native Americans fight food insecurity
Long before a global pandemic swept across her cloistered corner of the Navajo Nation, Cynthia Wilson knew the pains many families took to secure and store food.
The multigenerational home she shares with her parents and eight others in Monument Valley, Utah, runs on solar panels and a generator. With no running water, her father hauls it in almost daily. They live about 8 miles from the closest and only grocery store in their high desert community, where shoppers have felt the strain of limited supplies through the rationing of foods like meat.
Prior to the coronavirus pandemic "people were dependent on the grocery store," Wilson said. "Now, they're in shock or worried about how they're going to keep their pantries filled when they can't go to the stores like they used to. It's a wake-up call that we need to go back to growing our own foods and tending to our own livestock."

Former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair questions Trump's virus strategy
Tony Blair discusses 'terrifying' economic impact of the pandemicMay 22, 202003:08
Former U.K. Prime Minister Tony Blair questioned U.S. President Donald Trump's approach to the coronavirus crisis and warned of "terrifying" economic consequences if global lockdown measures continue as they are.
"The countries that locked down fast and that are building, testing, tracing and tracking capability fast, that then enables you to be more bold on the economy," he told NBC News on Friday.
Trump's government has been accused of bungling the response to the pandemic by first downplaying the threat and not moving quickly or efficiently enough to deal with the growing crisis.
"I think the problem that you have in most Western countries today is that people are now very well-informed about the risks of the disease," Blair said from his home in the United Kingdom where, like much of the rest of his country, he's spent the last eight weeks with his family under lockdown.
Vatican Museums to reopen from June 1
The Vatican Museums will reopen on June 1, the Vatican said, ending a closure caused by the a three-month lockdown that has drained the Holy See's finances. The Museums received some 7 million visitors last year and are the Holy See's most reliable source of income, previously generating an estimated $100 million yearly.
A statement said the Museums — which house some of the world's greatest Renaissance masterpieces as well as ancient Roman and Egyptian artifacts — can be visited from the beginning of June, though only by making online reservations in order to control the number of visitors.
Staff will wear masks and gloves and health workers will be on hand, according to the statement. Visitors will have their temperatures checked and will have to wear masks and use hand sanitizer.
Italian museums began reopening last week as part of a staged easing of lockdown measures in the country where nearly 33,000 people have died from the virus.
Senior adviser to U.K. PM facing calls to quit after trip during lockdown
A senior adviser to Britain's Prime Minister Boris Johnson is facing calls for his resignation after reports that he drove 250 miles to his parents house while his wife showed virus symptoms, breaching lockdown regulations.
Dominic Cummings travelled 250 miles from London to northern England in March after the government stipulated that people should remain at their primary residence, leaving only for essential local errands and exercise, and to not visit relatives. Anyone with symptoms was advised told to completely self-isolate.
A number of politicians from rival parties to Johnson's Conservative Party have since called for him to stand down, as have some members of his own party.
Thailand reports no new cases for fourth time this month
Thailand reported no new coronavirus cases and no new deaths on Sunday, maintaining the total to 3,040 confirmed cases and 56 fatalities since the outbreak began in January.
Sunday was the fourth day in this month that there were no new daily cases, said Panprapa Yongtrakul, a spokeswoman for the government's coronavirus task force. There are 2,921 patients who have recovered and returned home since the outbreak started, she said.

China reports three new cases after first day with none since outbreak began

The number of confirmed cases in the mainland stands at 82,974 and the death toll remained unchanged at 4,634 on Sunday.
Australian PM stresses the need to create jobs as state of Victoria starts to reopen
Australia's prime minister stressed the need to create jobs as a way to minimize government welfare spending, while the country's second-most populous state Victoria set out measures to resume tourism to regions ravaged by bushfires and virus-linked curbs.
"Whether it's how we access markets, how we deliver assistance, whether it's to bushfire affected communities... the thing that gets Australia back to where we want to be is making jobs," Scott Morrison told reporters on Sunday. Morrison said it was important to get agriculture and tourism back up to create more jobs and drive the economy.
These are his first comments since the Treasury Department flagged last week that Australia had vastly over-estimated the initial costs of its coronavirus wage subsidy scheme.
Australia on Friday halved the number of people expected to be covered by its subsidy scheme due to reporting errors and after swiftly controlling the outbreak, a revision that will save the government around 60 billion Australian dollars ($39 billion). Australia has so far reported more than 7,000 cases, according to the country's Department of Health.
Two more arrested in Hawaii for allegedly violating quarantine
Two men were arrested by authorities in Hawaii after they allegedly violated self-quarantine rules for visitors and returning residents, Gov. David Ige's office said Saturday.
Artyon Zhiryada, 20, of Happy Valley, Oregon, and Dan Vlasenko, 19, of Vancouver, Washington, were arrested Friday as they exited a condominium in Honolulu, the office said. They arrived May 16, it said.
The pair represents the fourth and fifth high-profile arrests of visitors who allegedly failed to isolate for 14 days as a pandemic precaution ordered by Ige. It was at least the third time a suspect was accused because authorities said they found imagery of their public activity on social media.
Zhiryada also faced an allegation of cruelty to animals after he posted a video showing him shooting a "feral" chicken with a speargun in a parking lot, the governor's office said.

Patent Model for Cylindrical Slide Rule Invented by George Fuller
Patent Model for Cylindrical Slide Rule Invented by George Fuller
- Description
- This is the U.S. patent model for a cylindrical slide rule invented by George Fuller (1829–1907), a British civil engineer and professor of engineering at Queen's College, Belfast. Fuller received patents in Great Britain (no. 1044) in 1878 and in the United States in 1879. W. F. Stanley of London manufactured the rule from 1879 until 1975, and it was marketed in the United States by Keuffel & Esser, Dietzgen, and other dealers.
- The model has a wooden handle and shaft, with a wooden cylinder that slides up and down the shaft. A paper covered with scales fits around the cylinder. The lower edge of the cylinder has a scale of equal parts. The remainder bears a spiral scale divided logarithmically. A rectangular clear plastic pointer has broken from its attachment on the handle and is tucked into a red ribbon tied around the cylinder. A paper patent tag is marked: No. 291.246; 1879 (/) G. Fuller. (/) Calculators. (/) Patented Sept 2. (/) 1879. A printed description from the patent application of April 16, 1878, is glued to the back of the tag. The tag is attached to the handle with a red ribbon.
- L. Leland Locke, a New York mathematics teacher and historian of mathematics, collected this patent model and intended it for the Museums of the Peaceful Arts in New York City. When that institution encountered financial difficulties in 1940, Locke gave a collection of objects, including this model, to the Smithsonian Institution.
- For production models of this instrument, see 313751, 316575, and 1998.0046.01.

Karen & Frank are thinking about purchasing an RV. So they asked to be exposed to the full RV "experience". When we told them we had to "dump" this morning on our way out, they wanted to see what that meant. There was a gas station close by with a free dump and fresh water fill up (that's becoming unusual in most areas). I guess Karen & Frank are now turned off with the idea of RV'ing! They watched (most) of the "experience". I won't go into details! You just have to realize that no matter what activity you do, there are some things that make that experience just a little less than wonderful!
We drove from Anchorage to Tolsona Wilderness Campground about 170 mi. Along the route was the Matanuska Glacier. We stopped at the pull out and took pictures. There is a state park and camping is available.
Tolsona Wilderness Campground is about 15 mi from Glenallen, AK. Our space is right on Tolsona Creek and beautiful. A really nice park and it lives up to its name with a very wilderness feel to it. From here we are going to Valdez.
