In 2017, Ethiopia’s real GDP expanded by 10.9 percent, and is expected to grow by 8.5%, according to the World Bank.

  • Now is the moment for companies to pursue opportunities that have arisen following Ethiopia’s sweeping political and economic reforms, and to develop relationships with new leadership across the government.

Marine mathematics maps undiscovered deep-water coral reefs

A team of marine scientists has discovered four new deep-water coral reefs in the Atlantic Ocean using the power of predictive mathematical models.

Located at depths of up to 1.2km, in seas west of Ireland, the reefs were identified by a modelling system developed at Plymouth University that predicts occurrence according to conditions favourable to coral.

Researchers from Plymouth, the Centre for Environment, Fisheries and Aquaculture Science (Cefas), and the National University of Ireland Galway (NUI Galway), then confirmed their existence during a two-week expedition, using an underwater robot to obtain video evidence.

The team has hailed the experiment as a breakthrough in pinpointing and potentially protecting these delicate habitats. Project lead Dr Kerry Howell, Associate Professor in the School of Marine Science and Engineering at Plymouth University, said:

“We’re delighted with these results. It means we can now produce maps of where coral is likely to be for large areas of the deep-sea that we have not yet visited, and use them to identify high value ecological areas that might need protection from damaging activities.”
“The models work by looking at where we know deep-water coral reefs are found, identifying what is favourable environment for the corals, for example their favourite depths, and then looking for areas with the same or similar conditions,” added Dr Anthony Grehan, from NUI Galway. “If conditions are very similar then there is a high likelihood we will find corals.”

Funded by the European Union ‘Eurofleets’ programme, and supported by the Marine Institute (MI) of Ireland’s ship time fund, the team spent two weeks aboard the RV Celtic Explorer, and used its underwater robot, Holland I, to search at locations predicted as highly likely to support coral reefs. On each occasion it was deployed, Holland I found coral reefs. The team also searched for deep-sea sponge fields, but found the models to be less accurate, with a 50 per cent success rate.

Anna Downie, from Cefas, said:

“We know much less about these important habitats and that limits the information upon which we can build our models. We need to do more work to better understand how deep-sea sponges live.”

The production of accurate coral reef models has only been made possible by scientists having access to high resolution multibeam sonar maps of the seabed. Multibeam technology uses sound to ‘visualise’ the seafloor, and countries such as Ireland and Norway (in contrast to the UK) have mapped large areas of their territorial waters.

Extensive use was made of the Irish National Seabed Survey high resolution bathymetric charts in developing the models tested during this survey. The team expect to publish their findings in the near future and make the maps available for all to use. Dr Howell said:

“Our cold water coral reef models are now good enough to be used to better target areas that have not previously been explored, and this can greatly reduce the cost of future survey work.”

New cold water coral reef discovered off Ireland at ~800m deep.

Ulitao Traditional Seafaring Group Finds New Home at Valley of The Latte in Talofofo

The group will hold a canoe carving summer camp next week.

Guam – The traditional CHamoru seafaring group Ulitao has found a new home at the Valley of the Latte in Talofofo. The group will offer canoe building classes from it’s new home along the Talofofo river.

The traditional CHamoru seafaring group known as Ulitao are now home-ported at the Valley of the Latte in Talofofo. “We hope to kick off this coming Monday to start the summer camp the summer canoe building with the kids,” said Ulitao seafarer Ron Acfalle.

Ancient latte stones, which were the pillars of traditional CHamoru houses, lie alongside the Talofofo river. “You know we are so honored to have Ron Acfalle and Ulitao the group that actually built this replica latte hut a few years ago to come back home and make it their permanent home. What we wanted to do is share with all of the people the ancient art of seafaring and canoe carving,” said Valley of the Latte Managing Director Dave Tydingco adding, “Ulitao represents what we have been looking for here. Give life to an actual Latte site to honor our ancestors.”

The Talofofo river is probably the only river on Guam that is large and deep enough for sailing vessels. The river flows right into the Talofofo Bay giving access to the ocean. In fact Ulitao founder Ron Acfalle believes this ancient village even has an ancient stand for canoes. “It’s a katsu it’s a stand where the CHamorus would place their canoes on top as a symbol I suppose, but it’s made out of clay and it actually has an asymmetrical design,” said Acfalle.

CHamoru canoes also have an asymmetrical design which is why Acfalle believes this stand is a perfect fit for their canoes. It’s also a reason why the Ulitao seafaring group is a perfect fit for the Valley of the Latte. “It’s a beautiful place to have it. What more than in an ancient grounds ancestral grounds,” said Acfalle.

Acfalle says Ulitao’s ultimate goal is still to sail a group of canoes to Hawaii for the 2020 Festival of The Pacific Arts.

She plans to travel to as many places as possible in her thirties to make up for her lack of traveling experience. She is married to her soulmate and best friend, Avery, who blessed her with two amazing children. After her full time job she reads books, plays video games, and watches a lot of anime shows and movies with her family to relax.

The final Summer Splash gives me the opportunity to go one on one with Catherine Banks and ask the questions readers want to know the answers to: Question: What genre would you say your books fall into? Answer: YA Fantasy Question: Are there any trigger warnings and/or explicit content readers should know about? Answer: There is violence, but it is not overly descriptive or grotesque. Question: What advice do you have for new writers? Answer: Write and write often. Question: Where do you write? Answer: It varies. At my desk, my table, on the couch while my kids are watching cartoons. Question: Are your characters real to you? Do you speak to them? Answer: They are definitely real to me. I don’t tell them where to go, I just write their story as they see fit. Question: What piece of advice from other authors do you hear the most but choose to ignore? Answer: Getting an agent. I have enjoyed my experience as a self-published author. One day I might search for an agent and try to publish traditionally, but for now I’m enjoying my experiences. Question: Which do you prefer Novels or Novellas and why? Answer: Novels because I enjoy longer stories. I have written a couple novellas and read some amazing ones, but I prefer novels. Question: Are there any Easter eggs in your book(s)? Answer: No. Question: What's your favourite food? Have you ever mentioned it in your book(s)? Answer: Bacon and eggs and yes they are used as a breakfast food in my books. Question: Do you have a writing Motto? Answer: “If I don’t write to empty my mind, I go mad.” ~Lord Byron Question: If you could change the date to any year past or future, what date would you change it to and why? Answer: If I could come back, I would go to the future to see what happens to our world in the next ten years.

Meet the Authors From Darkness Rising

I'm thrilled to be a part of the Darkness Rising Box Set. Being surrounded by so much talent is absolutely inspiring. I wanted to share a bit about my fellow authors in the set. What better way to do that than have them answer a few questions both about themselves and the story we are all looking forwards to?

Jennifer Ann Schlag is a dark fantasy author who takes reality and smashes it into fantasy. Her favorite animal is the wolf and she sometimes includes one in her books. When not writing, she is reading about philosophy, and trying to take awesome sunset pictures.

Book Title: Dark Lust: The Path to Fae

One world shall bind them while the other separates them.

When Dante Aerllius discovers that someone precious to him is kidnapped and taken to the human world, he uses his special shadow-walking abilities to break through the veil of Fae-Prime which protects his world from the humans. Although he is no stranger to visiting the human world, much to the dismay of his people, this trip is not a pleasure visit. If he isn’t careful with his magic, he may never be able to return home.

He begins to question the rules of his world when he meets a human girl who possesses the same abilities as him and knows far too much about the Fae. The attraction turns into a crazy lust, and he asks her to come home with him. Only humans are not allowed in the Fae world. He creates a love tie: a binding that will allow her to travel through the magical barriers. Unknowingly weakening the veil by doing so, and allowing the dangerous forces of the Dark Fae kingdom to move about freely, the entire world of Fae is set to be polluted with darkness that will last forever. It’s up to Dante to set things right or he loses more than the woman he loves. Excerpt:

"When Dante looks down into her eyes, he almost forget his purpose for coming to Earth. The human world is no place for the Fae. They simply cannot co-exist. Although his family has done business with them for the past thousand years, these humans, in this time, are not interested in an exchange of goods. He should run from her. Pretend that she isn't here.

"What's your name, stranger?" she asks.

"Dante Aerllius."

"You always give your full name?" She giggles. "My name is Hailey Yuneberry."

"That's a unique last name. Long history?"

"Never mind. Tell me, Miss Yuneberry, where can I find a good steak dinner around here?"

"Why, you have ran into the right person, again. That's what, three times today we have run into each other. Must be fate. You believe in fate, Mr. Aerllius?"

"Absolutely. My people -- I mean my family basically live off of it.""

Find out more about Jennifer Ann Schlag https://www.facebook.com/AuthorJenniferAnnSchlag www.JenniferAnnSchlag.com

Question: Who is your favourite character in your book and why?

Answer: Dante Aerllius. Because he is so audacious. He thinks he knows it all. I love how wrong he is and when he finally realizes it, it's priceless.

Question: Please describe him/her/they a) physically b) their personality.

Answer: Tall, black hair, baby blue eyes, medium build. Conceited, manipulative, bold, and complete disregard for the rules.

Question: Could I have a couple of quotes from your book of dialogue that shows that personality?

Answer: "Don't knock it, little human, until you've sampled me." "I swear that I am telling you the truth. I don't know what else to tell you. Come on, after the good times we've had, you think I would lead you astray? I am Dante Aerllius, I am going to be king someday. I have to be honest." "I swear I did not come here for you. You're nothing to me. I mean you are, but if I don't find her, I'll be forced to show a side of me that isn't pretty. You don't wanna see all of this godliness melt away, do you?"

Question: What genre would you say the book falls into?

Answer: Dark Fantasy

Question: Are there any trigger warnings and/or explicit content readers should know about?

Answer: Some curse words. Some scenes that have violence which may be considered really dark. Some sexual suggestive scenes.

Question: Do you have any upcoming events?

Answer: No.

Question: What is next for you? Do you have anything in the works?

Answer: Releasing my sequels to my first book published Night First: The Divinity of Damien Calla. Continuing The Twin Lands series, and releasing paranormal romance books this year.

Question: Do you have any special mentions? (Editor, cover art etc...)

Answer: Katie Jenkins is an excellent book cover designer. She has created covers for me for Damien Calla. And she is working on my Path to Fae covers. I also love Rebecca over at Dark Unicorn Designs. She designed my book Heir of Dragmoore. Really talented ladies.

Question: If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be? Please describe the place rather than just a name. The weather, the time of day, the ground, the surroundings, foliage, etc...

Answer: Rome. I have felt a connection to Rome because of the history there. I feel such a pull to go there but sadly can't afford to right now. I love exploring places. For me, I want to see the Vatican up close. I'd sneak into the catacombs if I could. I want to be surrounded by all its beauty. There's so much conspiracy and rumors circulating around the Vatican, and Rome has been apart of history for thousands and thousands of years. I feel like no matter what the season, no matter what time of day, Rome is going to be a magical, fulfilling place.

Question: If the character from above were in that place what would they be doing?

Answer: Dante would be causing a whole heap of trouble in Rome. Goodness, what wouldn't he do? I mean, he's been around longer than Rome, so for him it'd be a new playground. He'd probably sample all the food and liquor. He loves his food and liquor. He'd probably have a girl on his left arm and on his right. He'd definitely make the Vatican's head turn with the magical abilities he possesses.

Question: If your character was allowed one chance to say anything to your readers, what would he/she say?

Answer: "Don't believe everything you see. There are things that scare the crap out of me sometimes, and they're in my head."

Question: If your character could donate to any charity, which one would he/she choose?

Answer: The Wolf Conservation in New York. Because Dante loves animals and he loves wolf the most.

Treatment director named leadership coach

Staff reports

ASHLAND, Ky. — Peggy Gemperline, program director at Crossroads Treatment Center of Ashland, has been selected by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) as a leadership coach for the 2018 Women’s Addiction Services Leadership Institute (WASLI).

The goals of WASLI are to strengthen the capacity of emerging leaders to meet the treatment and recovery needs of women with substance use and co-occurring disorders by developing and improving leadership skills of participants and creating the next generation of leaders in substance abuse treatment services. One focus of this year’s efforts is medication-assisted treatment services for opioid use disorders. Gemperline participated in the immersion training event in San Diego, Calif., in March, and will follow up in Washington, D.C., in June. She will actively coach two associates who have been determined to be emerging leaders in women’s treatment as they develop their leaderships skills and complete a service project developed at the Immersion event.

Gemperline, a graduate of Greenup County High School and the University of Kentucky, has worked in the addiction treatment field for more than 25 years, and has had an active role in combating the opiate crisis, especially in central and southern Ohio. She currently serves as director of Crossroads Treatment Center, a Methadone treatment center that opened in December.

Gemperline believes medication-assisted treatment, including treatment with Methadone, is an important tool in reducing the number of drug-related deaths in the area, as well as reducing the spread of diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis C.

Crossroads is part of a larger organization which includes 29 treatment centers across the United States, and specializes in treatment that combines medication, counseling, drug screening and a referral network to give patients the best chance to succeed in treatment.

“Our staff at Crossroads strives to create a positive experience for all our patients, and to make Crossroads a very positive contributor to the Ashland community,” Gemperline says.

Health in Mind: Louise hopes to use her passion for music to tackle mental health issues

MANY people battle with their mental health issues their whole lives.

Sunday, 26th May 2019, 10:18 am
Louise Lee is opening the Broken Down Choral Society to promote mental wellbeing in Portsmouth. Picture: Habibur Rahman

But, as North End mum-of-two Lousie Lee can testify, it is possible to find ways of managing your mental wellbeing.

The 36-year-old has lived with anxiety and an eating disorder since she was a teenager but now she has found a new way to channel her experiences into something positive, and is hoping to help others along the way.

Louise will hold the first ever rehearsal for her choir, the Broken Down Choral Society, on May 28 at the John Pounds Centre in Portsea. The singing group will be open to all ages and all abilities to act as a way of boosting mental wellbeing and raising awareness of its importance.

Louise was inspired to create a choir dedicated to mental wellbeing following her work with people with dementia.

‘There’s something about the act of singing together that is really healing’, she said.

‘It has so many benefits such as improving confidence and memory. Even just breathing as a group improves your heart rate.

‘Music, singing in particular, is one of the only activities that uses every area of your brain. So it’s very unique.’

Support for mental health issues in Portsmouth

The society will meet fortnightly at no cost to members as Louise is hopeful to attract as many people as possible. As part of the group there will be designated ‘anxiety buddies’ that will be there to listen or chat to individuals if they have something they want to share.

Louise said: ‘Everyone is impacted by mental health issues at some point, whether themselves or they have a friend or relative experiencing them. This group is not just for people with mental health problems but more as a safe space.

‘We will meet every two weeks to sing together and I’m hopeful in the future we could perform in public although there will be no pressure to do so.’

Louise Lee.Picture: Habibur Rahman

So far 20 people have signed up to the group.

‘It’s great that so many people have shown an interest and they all seem really committed,’ she said.

‘But we don’t have any men yet. That’s something that’s so important to me because I feel like for men it is so much harder to talk about how they are doing.

‘I do believe that toxic masculinity exists and that men are taught their whole lives not to cry or show emotion. It’s not healthy. Hopefully we will see men join in with the society.’

Louise’s journey with mental health has been a challenging one.

She said: ‘When I was around 14 years of age I got diagnosed with anorexia and was very unwell. It got to the point where my parents were told that I had the same chance of surviving as a teenager with Leukemia  which was very hard for us as a family.

‘I did recover from the anorexia physically but I think mentally it stays with you your whole life.

‘Then around 12 years ago I had a breakdown and ended up in QA Hospital. I think I weighed less than eight stone at that time. I wouldn’t say I had a relapse of anorexia but my anxiety was so bad that it affected my body and I was going to the toilet 10 to 20 times a day. After lots of tests the doctor basically said it’s your brain doing it to you.

‘There was nothing physically wrong with me, it was my mind. And that was really frightening because I was unaware it was happening.’

For Louise singing is a way to tackle her anxieties but she does have another method.

’I’ve given it a name - Madge,’ she said.

‘She is the voice that tells me I am not good enough or not thin enough. Whatever she talks to me about losing weight or not eating I just tell her to be quiet. I’ve really found that that’s helped me, giving her a name.’

She added: ‘It’s a brave thing to admit there’s something wrong but once you do there are ways of helping it.’

The Broken Down Choral Society will meet at the John Pounds Centre from 6pm-7.30pm. To find out more visit

‘How I manage my anxiety’

SOUTHSEA resident and Portsmouth city councillor Claire Udy has signed up to the Broken Down Choral Society as an anxiety buddy.

The 31-year-old is diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder, a long-term condition that can cause you to feel anxious about a wide range of situations and issues.

But Claire explained that there are ways of coping with her anxiety. ‘It’s quite well managed at the moment,’ she said.

‘I have been talking to therapists at the university and I don’t need to take any medication for it now.

‘I manage my symptoms through mindfulness, exercise and eating well. I suffer with really bad health anxiety. Whenever my body thinks something is wrong or off kilter I feel really upset or angry.’

As a friend of Louise, Claire was looking forward to being a part of the society.

She said: ‘I think it would be great for as many people as possible to come along to the choir. As Louise said there are studies about how it singing together can help with things like memory - especially for older people.

‘What I think is great about it is that people do love singing but they are always scared about doing it in front of other people. But hopefully this will encourage people to sing in front of each other and friendships will be formed. I also hope we can help each other just by being there to listen and talk about things if needed.

‘We’re going to have an anxiety buddy scheme that I will be involved in. If someone is feeling a bit overwhelmed we can take them into another room to chill out. Sometimes people just need five minutes.’

The ashes of Mabel Rankin, a well-known teacher, have been laid to rest at St Thomas A Becket Church in Warblington Picture: Ian Hargreaves (170480-1)

Former pupils, staff, friends and family attended a service led by celebrant Neil Sagar Stewart at St Thomas a Becket Church, Warblington, on Friday, April 7 in memory of Mabel Rankin.

Mrs Rankin worked at Horndean Infants School in the 1970s. She died aged 99 on February 2 at Pinewood Nursing Home in Chidham.

Her eldest daughter Penelope Aeberhard said: ‘It was a very warm service, which saw family members give us insight into aspects of her life right from her birth in 1918.’

Mrs Aeberhard said she was pleased to see a former teacher from Sharps Copse Infant School and a former pupil, who now lives in Holland, attend.

Mrs Rankin moved into the area with her family when her husband, Eric, was appointed head of Warblington School, Havant, in 1964, a post he held for 14 years. He died in 2003.

She is survived by two of her children, Penelope and Paul. Her youngest son, Mark, an architect, pre-deceased her.

Brexit? There's simply no going back

So, a six-page letter to change the course of British history has been delivered to Brussels and now the real negotiations to leave the EU have started.

Sunday, 16th April 2017, 5:39 pm
Updated Tuesday, 9th May 2017, 6:48 pm
Artlce 50 has been triggeed

To call it momentous is probably about right. Is it more important a document than Magna Carta in 1215 or the 1689 Bill of Rights laying down the principle of parliamentary supremacy in Britain? I doubt it, but it will certainly be mentioned in the history books.

However, whatever the view of the historical importance, right now it means a period of intense negotiation that will be difficult, but certainly not impossible, and I have every faith the prime minister can get a deal for the UK.

In her letter, Theresa May set out sensible and achievable goals for our leaving the EU. Europe is hurt by Brexit on an emotional level and I understand that but, as the PM said, the referendum decision was no rejection of the values we share as fellow Europeans. Calm heads in many EU countries see this and they will focus, as we are, on the practical elements of our withdrawal.

Sign up to our daily newsletter

The i newsletter cut through the noise

There has been some sabre-rattling since the letter’s delivery from many uninformed sides, but at the negotiating table I suspect things will be very different and they will be certainly respectful. The UK has made it clear it wants a deep and special partnership with the EU in trade, security and in common values. We want to be its closest friend and a good neighbour. These principles are in everyone’s interests, they form our guiding light in the talks and they are anathema to no-one.

So, compromise will be the key to these discussions and the government understands it cannot ‘cherry pick’ and there will be consequences to leaving the EU, especially as we do not seek membership of the single market.

The UK has also made it clear the interests of EU and UK citizens living in each other’s countries will be at the heart of the talks and we want to strike an early deal about their rights. Nearly everyone has friends and neighbours from the EU and this is a very important part of these complex negotiations.

Another key area is to minimise disruption to business, citizens and investment and so seeking an implementation period to allow an orderly change is something that, again, will suit everyone.

No-one is underestimating the challenges all this and many other topics comprising Brexit will offer to both sides and there will be disagreements. The deal will be complex, its ratification by the remaining 27 member states and the European Parliament possibly protracted and it must be done by 29 March 2019.

There remains opposition in what has been a divisive subject for many years, but the clock is now ticking. For those who voted to remain, like I did, I would say this: now is the time to come together and support the government in getting the best deal because there is simply no going back.

Portsmouth eye ‘high-level’ friendly opposition

Pompey are targeting ‘high-level’ opposition to complete their summer friendly programme.

Wednesday, 8th May 2019, 5:59 pm

However, those fixtures won’t be finalised until after Pompey’s play-off fate is resolved.

Kenny Jackett’s men are booked in for six pre-season matches in the build-up to the 2019-20 campaign.

Kicking off against League of Ireland Premier Division side UCD on July 10, they include the traditional trip to the Hawks (July 13) and a visit to Crawley (July 27).

The i newsletter cut through the noise

In addition, three fixtures are labelled as ‘Pompey XI’ outings, involving Bognor (July 16), Aldershot (July 23) and Woking (July 30).

However, there remains a vacancy for Saturday, July 20.

The Blues have also been known to fulfil a first-team game on the same midweek day as Pompey XI fixtures.

According to Mark Catlin, more friendlies will be announced – once the club know whether they will feature in League One or the Championship next term.

He said: ‘We are still working on a couple of potentially high-level opponents to fill that gap.

‘They will be away from Fratton Park, although I don't believe they will be abroad.

‘A lot will depend on the level we are at. If we end up in the Championship, you don’t want to be potentially playing one of your competitors, you could end up drawing them in a game a week later, that doesn’t work.

‘A few seasons ago we had a friendly lined-up against Cardiff, but had to cancel it because we then drew them in the EFL Cup, so that’s an example of the planning we have to put into it.

‘We need to find out what level we’ll be at before finalising those last few fixtures.

‘It could change.’

However, Fratton Park is out of bounds, with stadium and pitch work ruling out its use during the pre-season period.

The Blues are weighing up lodging a request with the Football League for their opening fixture of the 2019-20 season to be played away.

Bringing The Best Of Rajasthani Food In Goa Through The Rasoda

Yash Khaitan, a young entrepreneur, hails from Rajasthan and lived in U.P before moving to Goa in 1998. Living in Goa the Khaitan family felt the need for a pure vegetarian restaurant. The love for traditional cuisine made him open The Rasoda. The Rasoda started in 2018, located at Panaji, offering authentic Rajasthani and North Indian cuisine along with the delectable sweet store. True to its tagline, ‘Royally Yours’, The Rasoda doesn’t fail to offer royal food to the patrons at an affordable price.

In Conversation With Yash Khaitan of The Rasoda

In an exclusive conversation with The Restaurant Times, Yash Khaitan, talks of his journey in the industry, the story behind The Rasoda, ensuring customer satisfaction, marketing strategy and a lot more.

About The Rasoda

The Rasoda in Rajasthani and Gujrati means ‘the kitchen’. The Khaitan family being Marwaris had the desire to serve the Goan community with Rajasthani food and that is how it all started! The USP of The Rasoda is that all the food prepared here is cooked in pure ghee. They absolutely use no artificial substances or synthetics in their food. You can tell about the purity of the food by the aroma of the dish. Yash tells that all the ingredients are procured straight from Rajasthan to make the food more authentic. The thalis are the must-try dishes at the restaurant, especially the Rajasthani thali and the Punjabi thali. Apart from the Thalis, the most popular sweets at the restaurant are the Rasmalai. They also prepare their own Mawa sweets, with pure ingredients.

‘Nowadays there is a lot of mixing in the Mawa, they mix Rawa and Plaster Of Paris, but we at The Rasoda, never compromise on quality. The cost of making Mawa is more than the actual selling price,’ says Yash.

The sweets are also made in pure ghee and they also use less sugar. They have sweets ranging from The Mitha Cake, Anarkali, Anjeer Barfi, Aata Gond Ladoos, Moong Dal laddus, Balushai, Besan Ki Chakki, and the list is unending!

Choosing The Right Location

The Khaitan family has been in Goa for more than 20 years now and they are well versed with Old Goa. The world is moving and so are the people. People are so full of adventure nowadays and they love exploring new cuisines and places. Goans have wholeheartedly accepted The Rasoda and it is a quality brand in Goa now.

It was a challenge initially to convince the Goans that everything made here is cooked in pure ghee and is unadulterated. But they were successful in making a place in Goa and emerging as a successful brand.

Yash chose Kadamba to setup The Rasoda because according to their market analysis this area would grow in the next two to three years.  Being residents of the same area, there was a dearth of good vegetarian restaurants at Kadamba so it was a great opportunity for them to flourish.

According to Yash, the other locations to open a similar outlet like his, are in Margao because of the huge Gujrati and Marwari population and Cavala, because it is highly populated.

Marketing Techniques

Running a restaurant is much more than just putting great food on plates. One needs an excellent location and environment, also, exemplary customer service and staff, and a management team that can run a tight ship. As a restaurateur, one needs to focus on the clever ways of promoting the restaurant so that the general public knows about your excellent eating house. Marketers suggest that 80% of the budget should be allocated to online marketing and the remaining 20% should be allocated to traditional marketing. Yash being a traditional cuisine restaurant, use both traditional and digital methods of marketing.

 The ‘old’ method of marketing doesn’t mean ‘outdated’ marketing. Traditional restaurant marketing is still arguably the best way to really precisely target an audience. It’s very easy to print some flyers, stand out the front of your establishment, and hand them out to a smile as people walk past.

Not everyone who is going to eat at your restaurant is a social media user. There are definitely several types of print marketing. Yash has put up hoardings at different locations of Goa advertising about their restaurant. Also, leveraging to flyers is a technique used by them to advertise their restaurant to the customers.

Apart from this, they leverage social media marketing by posting about their ghee-licious pictures with quirky captions on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.

Technology Bedding and Secret Sauce To Success

The hospitality and foodservice business is a major player in the economy. To achieve unbeatable efficiency, offering excellent service, good food, one would require modern technology and restaurant hardware.

With the coming of POS software, it allows restaurants to deliver great customer service by managing orders, payment, and promotions. They also ensure that restaurant management is made easier through reporting, stock, and labour control. Apart from this, real-time reports and analytics and various additional features are also available.

A 2016 Restaurant Trade Survey found that 63% of restaurant owners would invest in technology if it made day-to-day operations more efficient.

Yash has been using POSist for the last eight months and it has made life simpler for him. The stock inventory module has helped in managing the inventory efficiently. Proper inventory management practice greatly increases the likelihood that shoppers’ desired items will be in stock, in turn boosting customer satisfaction and encouraging repeat visits to your store. It also enables to avoid losing sales to the competition if particular item customers want is unavailable when they wish to purchase it.

Yash tells that success is an ongoing process and it is essential to work hard and keep striving till you achieve your aim.

How a POS Integrated Tip Management System Benefits Restaurants

How a POS Integrated Tip Management System Benefits Restaurants

Here in the USA, the tipping culture is quite prevalent. Even though protests have risen regarding the legitimacy of the system, the practice as of now is nowhere to go. It is a culturally given thing to tip your wait staff at least 15% of your food bill and 20% or above in case the service was that great. Given the importance of tipping your wait staff, next comes the question of what happens to the tips when the bill is paid via card. You may feel that it is no big deal but when you come to think of it thoroughly, in terms of all the servers and the number of tips that will get accumulated even over the span of a day, keeping a record of tips can be very troublesome. It is thus a good idea to have a POS software with an inbuilt tip management system.

How an Integrated Tip Management System Helps You Manage the Server Tips Easily

Tips are paid directly to the wait staff and are solely their income. Then as a restaurant owner, you may wonder why tips are essential to you. There are two significant reasons why you should employ tip management in your restaurant POS software. These are-

1. Measure Of Performance

While there are loopholes in the system, the tips that your staff earns are an excellent way to measure their performance. Indeed, the tips cannot be the only way to measure the performance of an employee, but given the simple rule with which they work (better the service, better the tips) they can be effectively used as one of the measures of your staff performance. Now, most tips are cash and go unreported. Not reporting tips can have a variety of reasons ranging from forgetting to report a tip to not reporting it for taxes.

Either way, your metrics will be hurt, and you may end up taking wrong staffing, hiring or promoting decisions based on these rough calculations. As your staff is the most critical part of your restaurant business and an extension of your restaurant brand identity, any poor decision while dealing with your team can cost you your restaurant itself. Thus, it is all the more critical for you as a restaurant owner to keep track of which employee is earning more tips, why and how much is the difference between him/her and others.

2. Designing Training Programs

Apart from making hiring and promoting decisions, keeping track of tips will also allow you to understand what level of service is best satisfying your customers, what upselling techniques are not pushing them away or what sort of attitude they expect from their servers. You can further train your staff based on this data to raise the overall performance of your restaurant staff. When your POS software directly manages tips, at least those extended on a non-cash basis, this analysis becomes all the easier and produces sharper results.

3. Track Of Difference

Tips are so crucial to waiters because the wages they are paid only cut it to taxes since they are below minimum wage level. The tips are literally all they live on. In most American states though if the waiters do not earn enough, the restaurant is supposed to pay the difference. Accounting for tips becomes extremely important here given that you as a restaurant owner will be paying an extra difference from your pocket. Coming back to the major problem of tips going unreported. When tips go unreported, it creates a problematic scenario for the restaurant owner who now has to rely upon the word of the employee solely. This creates a massive window for internal theft. A tip management system which is integrated with your POS software can go a long way in resolving the issue.

4. Better Customer Experience

Automation in restaurant technology has done wonders to elevate the customer experience. The final portion of that experience is giving tips. When the customer pays in cash, it is but obvious to expect a tip in cash but where card payments are involved, keeping track of a decent tip gets difficult. Not only do the customers now need to pay a separate tip in cash, but most customers end up tipping less in this scenario. Moreover, when some tips are deducted from different cards throughout the day, tracking exactly which tip goes to which staff member can be difficult. Ultimately such an activity which happens daily requires a systematic approach which your restaurant POS software can provide through an integrated tip management system.

How A POS Integrated Tip Management System Works

Now that you understand how having a POS integrated tip management system will benefit you, the next step is understanding how the technology will work.

Running a tip management system integrated with your POS software is the easiest restaurant operation that you will run. All the bills are calculated and generated through your POS Software. So when a customer’s card is swiped for a certain amount- including the bill amount which they mentioned, your POS will automatically separate the bill amount from the tip. The bill amount will be deducted as payment and the tip will go under the name of the server. You can pay your servers the cash equivalent of each of their tips. This solves the problem of tip calculation and unreported tips as far as card payments are concerned.

Though the tipping culture in the USA has come under a lot of scrutinies, and the authenticity of the system is up for debate. As for now, the system is not moving and having a POS integrated tip management system can work wonders for your establishment.

Keg Wraps for Any Occasion

Whether a home brewer or purchasing your keg from a commercial brewer, you know that beer temperature is critical to the overall experience.  Consider Keg Coolers for keeping a keg cold during transport and when outside in the summer sun.keg wraps

Hypothetical #1

You are hosting a party and picking up a keg for the first time.  The distributor has limited hours and you have to pick the keg up before noon, but the party doesn’t start until later that evening.  How do you keep the keg cold so that it is ready to tap as soon as guests arrive?  Ice it in a garbage can?  Create an ice bath in your tub? Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a keg wrap that could maintain a cool temperature?

Hypothetical #2

You are catering a beautiful wedding in July.  All of the festivities are outside.  You have to set up early in the day and somehow guarantee that the beer is ready when the guests are.  You obviously cannot keep the keg out in the open in an unattractive fashion.  How do you achieve cool in temperature and appearance?

Hypothetical #3

Everyone is going to the lake for the weekend.  It’s time to unplug and enjoy the sun and sand. You volunteered to bring a couple kegs for everyone.  Do you hope that the lake is somehow cold enough to keep the keg cold, but warm enough for your body?  Do you bring an additional giant cooler to ensure the keg stays cold?  What’s the convenient secret to keeping a keg cold?  Wish you had a keg wrap?

Serving Guidelines

Regardless of where or when your keg is going to make an appearance, here are some general guidelines for serving:

  • All beers should be served between 38-55° F.
  • Lagers are served colder than ales.
  • Stronger beers are served warmer than weaker beers.
  • Darker beers are served warmer than lighter beers.
  • Macro lagers are served as cold as the Rockies.
  • Serve beers a few degrees colder than the target temperature, to accommodate for warming from the glass and the drinker’s hands.

Keg Wrap

There are many simple ways to keep a keg cold, but we would like to recommend a means for achieving the perfect chill that you can use over and over with no mess or stress.  Even on the hottest summer days, the North Slope Chillers keg wrap can keep a cold keg of beer below 50 °F for up to twelve hours without ever having to change the ice packs.  Whether you are a professional caterer, or are just throwing an outdoor party for your friends, keeping your beer cold is critical to the success of your event.

Not a Hypothetical Experiment

We even ran a controlled experiment so you can see the data for yourself.  We started with a 40°F keg of beer, wrapped the North Slope Chillers insulated keg wrap around the keg, placed it inside a 95 °F environmental chamber and recorded the beer’s temperature for 24 hours.  After 6 hours the beer was 43 °F and had only increased 3 degrees, and after 12 hours the temperature had only increased 10 degrees to 50 °F, which is still considered optimal temperature for consuming beer.

North Slope Chillers’ Portable Keg Cooler

  • Black materials absorb the sun’s energy and get hot fast. The Keg Cooler insulated keg wraps have a highly reflective industrial grade white vinyl shell that reflects solar radiation to help keep a keg cold.
  • Many insulated keg wraps are made from ¼ inch neoprene.  North Slope Chillers insulated keg wraps contain a ½ inch thick sheet of closed cell industrial grade foam insulation that will keep your keg cool on even the hottest days.
  • Designed with 12 internal pockets to hold standard, reusable 12 oz 6” x 6” x 1” ice packs.  These ice packs are affordable and easy to find, making replacement a breeze, keep an extra set in the freezer for continuous or frequent use.
  • Easily swap ice packs out with newly frozen units for longer term use or colder temps.
  • Keg wrapt and ice packs are easily portable, along with your keg
  • Low cost beer keg cooling solution

Powerco gets Behind Earth Hour

Monday, March 21, 2011

Powerco is encouraging households and businesses to switch off their lights for an hour on Saturday in support of Earth Hour.

Earth Hour is a global movement intended to get people talking about the importance of reducing or mitigating humanity’s adverse impacts on planet earth. Members of the public are encouraged to join in the worldwide celebrations by turning off the lights at 8:30pm on Saturday, 26 March.

Powerco’s Environmental Analyst Rebecca Dearden said 1.25 million New Zealanders were among millions of people across 128 countries who took part in Earth Hour last year. According to figures from Transpower, the national grid operator, there was a national energy saving of 3.5% on the night of Earth Hour 2010.

Mrs Dearden says the company is urging everyone to participate in Earth Hour.

"Powerco will be supporting the cause by switching off non-essential lighting at our sites and reminding our staff and customers to do the same in their homes."

Part of the Earth Hour campaign is looking at ways to care for the environment beyond the hour.

Powerco is committed to caring for the environment and has taken several steps towards this. Recent initiatives have included recycling at its branches and providing organic waste for worm farms.

"We’re also working through all the levels of Enviro-Mark certification," Mrs Dearden says.

Powerco is New Zealand’s second largest electricity and gas distribution utility with around 420,000 consumers connected to its networks. Powerco’s electricity networks are in Western Bay of Plenty, Thames, Coromandel, Eastern and Southern Waikato, Taranaki, Wanganui, Rangitikei, Manawatu and the Wairarapa. Its gas pipeline networks are in Taranaki, Hutt Valley, Porirua, Wellington, Horowhenua, Manawatu and Hawke’s Bay.

Why the Journey is More Important Than the Destination

Thursday, May 28th, 2015

We have all heard the old adage, “The journey is more important than the destination,” (or some variation of it) time and again. What few people discuss, however, is what makes the journey so important.

Look at any newspaper story describing an athletic accomplishment, and you may notice that while the headline comes from the accomplishment itself, the body of the story is, in fact, a story. It is the story of how the athlete achieved his or her goals, typically through preparation and adversity. Take for example, Ben Saunders.

In 2014, Saunders accomplished a journey that no one previously had—he trekked to the South Pole and back on foot. He and his partner ventured 1,800 miles, spanning 105 days—shattering the record for the longest human-powered polar journey by over 400 miles. However, it wouldn’t have been a journey without obstacles along the way. After experiencing consistent headwind slowing them down, the two cut back their food rations to half of what they should have been consuming, and eventually ran out. 46 miles away from their storage of food, hungry and suffering from hypothermia, Saunders made the decision to call for assistance. It was not easy, and Saunders called it “one of the toughest decisions of [his] life.” He went on to say, “I don’t regret calling for that plane for a second, because I’m still standing here alive, with all digits intact. But getting external assistance like that was never part of the plan, and it’s something my ego is still struggling with. This was the biggest dream I’ve ever had, and it was so nearly perfect.”

In today’s fast-paced world, we constantly try to achieve the next goal as fast as humanly possible. We try to change the definition of what is humanly possible. We are obsessed with perfection and being the best. However, we must shift our focus from the end point to the point we are currently in. We must focus on accomplishing our current challenge before we prepare for our next challenge. Runners build up their endurance by running 5, 10, 15 miles before running a marathon. Swimmers do not swim the 400-meter freestyle without spending time in the gym building their muscles and physical strength. Athletes (much like Ben Saunders) do not accomplish great feats unless they first spend a great deal of time preparing.

We need to learn to be content with the place that we are in and not just the destination. Crossing the finish line takes a split second, but the journey takes so much longer. If we are only living for the finish line, we are only enjoying a few moments instead of the weeks, months, or years of preparation. The journey is where we learn. When people recall their stories, they don’t just say, “Well, I crossed the finish line at this time and then that was that.” They tell their stories. They talk about overcoming obstacles—when they learned what their breaking points were after being pushed to their physical and mental limits. They talk about the relationships they formed with their teammates and crews. They talk about how, in the most brutal of conditions, they learned what they were made of. We don’t learn what we’re made of after we complete goals—we learn during the process.

After Saunders completed his journey to the South Pole and back, many people asked him what would be the next milestone he would conquer. Reporters wanted to know the next destination, but Saunders was still reflecting on his journey:

“Looking back, I still stand by all the things I’ve been saying for years about the importance of goals and determination and self-belief, but I’ll also admit that I hadn’t given much thought to what happens when you reach the all-consuming goal that you’ve dedicated most of your adult life to, and the reality is that I’m still figuring that bit out. […] I’m also standing here saying, you know what, that cliché about the journey being more important than the destination? There’s something in that. The closer I got to my finish line, that rubbly, rocky coast of Ross Island, the more I started to realize that the biggest lesson that this very long, very hard walk might be teaching me is that happiness is not a finish line, that for us humans, the perfection that so many of us seem to dream of might not ever be truly attainable, and that if we can’t feel content here, today, now, on our journeys amidst the mess and the striving that we all inhabit, the open loops, the half-finished to-do lists, the could-do-better-next-times, then we might never feel it.”
