On December 30, 2019, the Chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission, the SEC's Chief Accountant, and the Director of the SEC's Division of Corporation Finance issued a joint statement regarding the role of audit committees in financial reporting, as well as their oversight responsibilities. The statement reminds audit committees, in connection with year-end reporting, that:

  • The audit committee contributes to setting the tone for a company's financial reporting, contributing to creating and maintaining an environment that supports the integrity of the financial reporting process, and setting expectations for candid communications with the auditor and management. To set an appropriate tone at the top, an audit committee should communicate with the independent auditor to understand the audit strategy and status, and ask questions regarding issues identified by the auditor and understand their ultimate resolution.
  • Compliance with auditor independence rules is a shared responsibility of the audit firm, the issuer and its audit committee.
  • The audit committee plays an important role in contributing to management's successful implementation of new GAAP standards, including the new revenue and lease standards, and in monitoring management's processes to establish and monitor controls and procedures over adoption and transition of new standards.
  • Audit committees are responsible for overseeing ICFR, including in connection with their consideration of management's assessment of ICFR effectiveness and, when applicable, the auditor's attestation.

The joint statement also reminds audit committees of the year-end financial reporting process under PCAOB AS 1301, Communications with Audit Committees, which requires the auditor to communicate with the audit committee regarding certain matters related to the conduct of the audit and to obtain certain information from the audit committee relevant to the audit. The statement also reminds audit committees and issuers that the SEC Staff remains focused on the use of non-GAAP measures, LIBOR discontinuation and transition related risks, and the critical audit matters ("CAMs") requirement, which will require that audit committees engage in a discussion with the auditors regarding the standard and each of the identified matters.

The full text of the joint statement can be found here.

New York, among several other states, protects its citizen policyholders in disputes with unauthorized foreign or alien insurance companies by requiring the insurance company to deposit security or obtain a licence to do an insurance business in the state before it can file any pleadings in an proceedings brought against it in New York. This is to make sure that any judgment can be enforced without the New York policyholder chasing around the world to execute. While there are limited exceptions, the general rule is before the defendant insurance company can appear and respond to a lawsuit, it has to post security. When the insurance company fails to comply, its efforts to respond to the case will be limited.

In Jiang v. Ping An Insurance, No. 10806N (N.Y. App. Div. 1st Dep’t Jan. 16, 2020), several related insurance companies based outside the United States were sued in New York Supreme Court. The insurers moved to dismiss the complaint for lack of personal jurisdiction and other relief, but failed to comply with New York Insurance Law 1213(c). The policyholder moved to compel the companies to either procure a license to do an insurance business in New York or post a bond under 1213(c). The motion court denied the motion to dismiss and granted the policyholder’s motion to compel the group insurer to comply with 1213 before the court would consider the remainder of the insurance companies’ motion. The motion court also held in abeyance the policyholder’s 1213 motion for the related insurance companies pending a jurisdictional hearing. The Appellate Division affirmed.

The court found that the group company waived any objection to jurisdiction by appearing in the case and by failing to file timely pre-answer motions to dismiss, and defending on the merits. As to the related companies, the appellate court held that the motion court correctly ordered a traverse hearing on the effectiveness of the service of process and personal jurisdiction. Finally, the appellate court held that the motion court appropriately imposed a bond requirement upon the group company, holding in abeyance its other motions pending the group’s compliance with 1213(c).

Without posting of security (or procuring a license) an unauthorized foreign or alien insurance company cannot seek to dismiss an action, other than make a jurisdictional challenge to the service of process under 1231(a). Appearing even by a having counsel file a pro hac vice admission, which the court here held was akin to an appearance, waives the jurisdictional objection and requires the company to post security before the court will address any of its other arguments.

The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.

Cancer patients set to go to Nairobi in shifts

Friday July 8 2016

Kampala- The Aga Khan University Hospital yesterday signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Health through Uganda Cancer Institute to formalise free radiotherapy treatment for 400 cancer patients.

The development follows an earlier commitment announced by the Nairobi-based hospital to help save the lives of cancer patients in need while the government of Uganda works to re-establish its radiation therapy capacity.

Uganda’s only Cobalt 60 radiotherapy machine broke down beyond repair in April and government is still in the process of importing a new machine.

Speaking at the agreement-signing ceremony held at the Ministry of Health headquarters yesterday, the director UCI, Dr Jackson Orem, said patients will be transported to Nairobi by road using two vans provided by the ministry.

“We are glad that all outstanding issues pertaining to the clinical, administrative and financial aspects of this partnership have now been ironed out and a clear procedure will be followed to ensure that Ugandan patients receive treatment from the Aga Khan University Hospital,” Dr Orem said, without giving a specific date when the first batch of patients will be transported.

He added that accommodation and other patient support services are being organised by the Uganda High Commission in Nairobi and about 20 cancer patients, who have so far been approved by the tumor board will travel for treatment.
The chief executive officer of the Aga Khan University Hospital, Mr Shawn Bolouki, emphasised the university’s commitment to increasing access to specialised care to those in need through public private partnerships with other institutions such as the Uganda Cancer Institute.

“The citizens of Uganda do not have to travel overseas to access high quality healthcare as these services are available here in our region,” Mr Bolouki said.

The vice president and chief finance officer at the Aga Khan University, Mr Al-Karim Haji, said with plans of establishing Aga Khan University Hospital in Kampala underway, Ugandans will no longer need to leave the country to receive world class healthcare.

“We appreciate the support, encouragement and confidence of the government of Uganda to establish a teaching hospital in Kampala,” he said.

The MoU was signed in the presence of the under secretary in the Ministry of Health, Mr Ronald Segawa, and Mr Amin Mawji, the newly-appointed Diplomatic Representative of Aga Khan Development Network in Uganda.

In April, when the Aga Khan University Hospital announced the offer of treatment, there was lack of clarity on what the offer entailed. Health ministry officials, led by then State minister of Health, Dr Chris Baryomunsi, had earlier informed Parliament that the offer would cater for 400 patients, Dr Orem in an exclusive interview, told Saturday Monitor that the offer actually catered for 400 dozes and not 400 patients. However, yesterday’s ceremony clarified the matter.
Who will travel

Dr Henry Ddungu, the chairman of the Radiation Oncology Clinical Needs Evaluation Committee (ROCNEC), said only tumor patients with chances of survival will be transported to Nairobi for radiotherapy treatment . He cited tumor cancers such as breast cancer, cervical cancer and kidney cancer in children.

Asked whether it is safe to transport patients by road, Dr Ddungu said all patients are in a functional stable condition, following a clinical assessment .
He, however, said for any unstable patients, an ambulance will be provided.
About 2,000 cancer patients require radiotherapy treatment in Uganda every year.

Legal marijuana industry jobs can grow your career

Searching for a fun, good-paying job in a growing industry? Look no further than this budding field—literally.

Legal marijuana industry jobs can grow your career

There are many great entry-level cannabis jobs to seek out.

The marijuana business is lit. With total market sales set to exceed $24 billion by 2025, the U.S. cannabis industry will create roughly 300,000 jobs by 2020—eclipsing the projected job growth of manufacturing, according to a recent report from New Frontier Data, a business intelligence firm focused on cannabis. (Those figures are based solely on the states that passed medical or recreational legalization initiatives before 2017.)

Another study has even higher (forgive the pun) job numbers: By 2021 the cannabis industry is expected to create 414,000 jobs in the U.S., according to an ArcView study.

Cannabis jobs are multiplying as more states legalize recreational marijuana. California began sales of legalized adult-use cannabis on January 1, 2018, and customers lined up in droves; one dispensary alone sold $30,000 worth of product by 1:30 in the afternoon on New Year’s Day, Marijuana Business Daily reports.

Sound like something you might be into? You’re in luck: Hundreds of marijuana industry jobs are available on Monster right now. As in many industries, certain jobs are essential to running a business. For instance, there are positions for staff accountants, sales reps, and administrative assistants in the cannabis-focused workplace. But there’s also a need for people who can handle the product itself.

Here are just a few of those jobs that could be the right fit for you. Note: Depending on the location of these jobs, you may be required to obtain a marijuana worker permit (for example, in Oregon and Illinois) before getting hired.

Bud trimmer

What you’d do: During harvest season, bud trimmers are responsible for cutting marijuana plants by hand. “Trimmers manicure the plants to remove all the excess foliage and trim them down to the buds,” says Kyle Dukes, operations manager at San Diego–based dispensary Torrey Holistics and board member of San Diego Cannabis Industry Association. Dukes says bud trimming is a great entry-level job for people looking to break into the cannabis industry.
What you’d need: No formal education is required, but an emphasis on cleanliness and organization is often stressed.
What you’d make: Some trimmers get paid per pound of how much finished cannabis product they trim, says Dukes, while others get paid about $12 to $18 per hour.

Find bud trimmer jobs on Monster.

What you’d do: Derived from “bartender,” budtenders serve on the frontlines of the industry by working face to face with customers at dispensaries. “We call them consultants, since they guide customers through the process of buying what they want,” Dukes says.
What you’d need: For this job, you’ll be required to have working knowledge of cannabis products as well as all current rules regulating retail and medical marijuana. Budtenders must also be sociable to ensure the customer has a good experience.
What you’d make: Beginners earn around $11 to $12 an hour, plus tips, while salaried employees make about $31,200 to $42,000 per year.

Extraction technician

What you’d do: Extraction technicians—also known as concentrate makers, or extractors—take marijuana plants and turn them into hashish, oils, and other concentrates. Because they apply scientific techniques and procedures in labs, these professionals have to be detail oriented and precise.
What you’d need: A high school diploma or GED is typical, though some positions may require a bachelor’s degree in chemistry, biochemistry, engineering, natural sciences, or a related field.
What you’d make: Entry-level extraction jobs average between $20,000 and $40,000 annually, while leadership positions can pay six-figure salaries.

Dispensary manager

What you’d do: Dispensary managers oversee the daily operations of the cannabis retail shop. Their responsibilities include everything from interfacing with vendors and law enforcement to managing inventory and dealing with product returns, Dukes says. Dispensary managers hire, train, and manage budtenders, and ensure that only the best and safest product is being sold.
What you’d need: A bachelor’s degree is generally preferred, though a high school diploma or GED may suffice. Retail or luxury goods experience is a plus.
What you’d make: Anywhere from $60,000 to $150,000 per year

Find dispensary jobs on Monster.

Edibles chef

What you’d do: These chefs use their culinary talents and marijuana knowledge to create cannabis-infused foods, or edibles, from gummy candies to lollipops to baked goods and more.
What you’d need: A background in cooking and baking certainly helps, but like all other cannabis jobs, the main focus is knowledge of the product. Specifically, edibles have to be precisely measured by these chefs to ensure safe consumption. “We have to control every dosage we put in our foods,” says Julianna Carella, says CEO at Auntie Dolores, a cannabis-infused edibles dispensary in San Francisco. However, independent chefs must also be knowledgeable of state and municipal marijuana codes, which can change frequently. “The marijuana business is not a streamlined industry,” says Carella. “There are strict laws for how we need to test and sell our products.”
What you’d make: $40,000 to $90,000 per year

Find edibles-related jobs on Monster.

What you’d do: Gardeners, or growers, oversee the cultivation of the marijuana plants. Each site has assistant growers that check things like the nutrient and humidity levels; these employees work under a master grower, who manages the day-to-day operations of the facility and trains the crew.
What you’d need: A physical science or horticulture degree will give you preference. All gardeners must be knowledgeable of strains as well as growing technologies, such as lights, irrigation, and fertilizer.
What you’d make: Assistant growers earn, on average, $15.55 per hour; master growers typically command a salary of $100,000 per year and sometimes a percentage of the facility’s profit.

KOCH at WIRE 2016

Achieving success economically, safely and quickly: Trade fair highlights of Ernst Koch GmbH & Co. KG

Koch will present future technologies at WIRE trade fair – the focus will be placed on highly developed machines and an innovative acoustic emission analysis for increasing the quality of products.

Koch is one of the leading manufacturers of wire drawing machines – and will prove this once again at WIRE 2016 with a sophisticated portfolio of machines and quality-improving innovative processes. In Hall 10 Booth F22 / H39, the company will exhibit a technically highly developed drawing line with a modular design. It is comprised of a multiple-drawing line from the KGT series as well as a wire pay-off and a spooler for the collection of the wire. The line produces steel qualities with low carbon content (0.12%) on a machine with five drafts. In actual operation, the line is then complemented by nine drawing-blocks and includes high-quality pretreatment of the wire. This constellation enables a drawing speed of around 50 m/s. These are top results that make highly economical production possible.

A further highlight at the Koch booth will be a modern system for the continuous control of wire quality. Using acoustic emission analysis, the forming process during operation is permanently analyzed. Even minor anomalies are detected, thus guaranteeing high-quality production. The high-level detection of faults, as well as the increase in manufacturing speed, are the benefits of this technology – the use of which Koch is promoting heavily.

In addition to technical highlights, for Managing Director Jochen Koch value orientation is also crucial for Koch’s international success: “As a family-run company our work is more to us than just a business. We put great emphasis on stable relations that are based on appreciation, both with our customers and our members of staff. The fact that we strongly respect values such as fairness, reliability and integrity in our business relations is appreciated by our customers – and they also benefit, with high quality and comprehensive service.”

Ernst Koch GmbH & Co. KG is one of the world’s leading manufacturers of wire drawing machines. Their portfolio includes single-block machines and multiple drawing systems through to cold rolling and stretching systems. As a supplier with high service orientation, Koch plans, delivers and installs complete lines with all components necessary for the manufacturing of wire. The company is also groundbreaking in terms of developing innovative processes for quality control and process optimization. Customers in more than 60 countries value the technological innovative strength and service orientation of the family-run company.

Product Reviews

Nicholas Palliser: Fabulous bit of kit

I love these boots. They are stunningly well made, look fantastic and I know will age beautifully as long as I take care of them. I have only tested them in moderate rain and they held out totally. I feel protected and can wear them to business meetings looking like I am wearing a first class pair of boots (which I am). They are a solid piece of kit, so they do need some breaking in before you walk too far in them. However, once broken in, they are great.

David Barnard: Lovely boot

Great looking boot, needs a bit of bedding in as you would expect only disappointed that the price dropped a couple of days after I bought mine

CineVegas Film Festival Keeps Cool in Year 10

CineVegas Film Festival Keeps Cool in Year 10

Articles - Festivals

Even though Hunter S. Thompson set up the panel discussion on art and film at the 2003 CineVegas Film Festival, he didn’t show up. But “The World’s Most Dangerous Film Festival” wasn’t about to let him off the hook that easily. Embodying the madcap spirit that Thompson himself saw in Sin City, administrators sent a golf cart and two showgirls up to his room to escort him to the world premiere of longtime Thompson friend (and neighbor) Wayne Ewing’s documentary, Breakfast with Hunter.

Now in its tenth year, the CineVegas Film Festival continues to celebrate its renegade personality with daring films that push boundaries. Yet while the films may be edgy, the festival itself treats its moviemakers with old-fashioned respect. “CineVegas is a specialty festival, showing only 30 feature films and 30 shorts. This allows us to give every single one of our films and filmmakers a high profile in the festival,” says Trevor Groth, CineVegas’ artistic director (and senior programmer at the Sundance Film Festival).

Moviemaker Joy Dietrich, who won the Special Jury Award winner for Best Director in 2007 for her film, Tie a Yellow Ribbon, says that the festival is small enough that she got to know Groth and Mike Plante, associate director of programming, on a personal level. “The warmth of the people running the festival, the access you had to them and the power of Dennis Hopper to lure A-list actors to the fest were all incredible,” she says. Hopper has served as the Chair of the Creative Advisory Board since he received CineVegas’ Marquee Award in 2003.

Yet despite all the prestige, CineVegas, like the city that hosts it, is full of unpredictable fun. Says Randy Walker, director of 2006 festival feature Apart from That, “It is the only festival where you can be seated poolside and see a girl wearing a T-shirt that says, ‘Tell your boyfriend I said thanks.’”

The 10th annual CineVegas Film Festival will take place June 12-21 at the Palms Casino Resort and Brenden Theatres. CineVegas is accepting submissions until March 15th at For more information, visit

February 3, 2020

Dear Parents and Guardians of MSAD #37 Students:

I am writing to provide you with our most up-to-date information regarding the threat that came in to 10 high schools across the state on Friday. It was an e-mail threat that was received by a Maine business (in the Orono area) early in the day on Friday that specifically mentioned several Maine schools as targets. This threat did specifically mention Narraguagus, Jonesport-Beals, and Machias Memorial High Schools. The other schools that were included in the threat were in Penobscot and Aroostook Counties.

We have responded consistent with our Emergency Management Plan. We have been working with both the Washington County Sherriff’s Department and the Department of Education. The FBI and the Capital Police are also involved with the investigation. Additionally, consistent with guidance from the Maine Department of Education, we have advised our staff members to increase situational awareness and report any suspicious activity or persons to local law enforcement and our transportation personnel to report any suspicious or aggressive behaviors observed by other vehicles as a precaution.  Also, as a precautionary measure, Washington County Sherriff’s Department has increased its patrols in and around our schools and we have an officer stationed at Narraguagus.

We appreciate the prompt attention from the Washington County Sheriff’s Department, and the Maine Department of Education. Our law enforcement partners continue to monitor the situation.

Please know that our highest priority is the safety and security of all students and staff and that response procedures included in our Emergency Management Plan are in place specifically in support of that priority.

If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Warmest regards,

Ronald Ramsay

Superintendent of Schools

Summer is in full swing in Metro Atlanta, and while you prepare for vacations and try to gain refuge from the heat, many events are being held that can help you upgrade your business. Whether you need a new marketing plan or a reevaluation of your business strategy, there is a variety of low-cost and even free workshops to help you find your way.

Attending events not only allows you to pick up new skills, but it will enable you to network with other entrepreneurs and meet instructors who are experts in their field.

So, since you have an idea of what you can get out of attending some business-related events in the city, it’s time to highlight some workshops and happenings to keep an eye out for. Read on for five Metro Atlanta business events you will want to attend this June and July.

events1. Startup Summer School

  • Date: June 5 – July 31, 2019
  • Time: 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM
  • Location: Atlanta Tech Village
  • Lead Organization: Atlanta Tech Village

Developing a startup, and not sure where to start? The Atlanta Tech Village is holding an eight-week startup school event to help you out. Each course will address a different aspect of establishing a startup company. From topics regarding customer discovery to pitching and funding, participants will receive a crash course in successfully building a startup company. Attendees can expect to be taught by industry experts, and enjoy lunches and networking opportunities.

2. The Consumer Show

  • Date: June 6, 2019
  • Time: 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM
  • Location: Switchyards
  • Lead Organization: Switchyards

Selling directly to audiences can be tough. There is much competition out there, and it can be challenging to find a great forum to reach target audiences directly. Switchyards’ Consumer Show event helps Atlanta-based business-to-consumer (B2C) companies bridge this gap. Switchyards allows five companies to present their business directly to consumers for five minutes. This event is a great way to see what other companies are doing to make their B2C company stands out.

3. Authentic Storytelling for Your Business

  • Date: June 13, 2019
  • Time: 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM
  • Location: Online
  • Lead Organization: General Assembly

Businesses that empower their customers to become ambassadors and relay the stories of their brand have found great success. To accomplish this, successful companies have had to find a way to set themselves as an authority that can provide value-added content to customers while also creating emotional connections. Ryan Williams, CEO of the Influencer Economy, will provide tips for companies that want to follow in the footsteps of companies like Uber, Pinterest, and Twitter to connect with audiences through compelling storytelling.

events4. Atlanta Happy Hour – Fostering Entrepreneurship

  • Date: June 19, 2019
  • Time: 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
  • Location: Atlanta Tech Park
  • Lead Organization: TiE Atlanta

While workshops and classes are excellent to attend, it is also a great idea to engage in relaxed and fun entrepreneurial activities. TiE Atlanta is holding a happy hour event at Atlanta Tech Park for entrepreneurs who want to connect with similar-minded professionals. The event is free for members while non-members can attend for ten dollars. Attendees can enjoy drinks, music, and hearing more information about TiE Atlanta memberships.

5. Copywriting 101

  • Date: July 6, 2019
  • Time: 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM
  • Location: General Assembly
  • Lead Organization: General Assembly

While copywriting is something you may want to outsource to someone else, it is possible to save some money by learning how to write effective website copy yourself. Former senior copywriter and CEO of Marateck Creative, Julie Marateck, will teach attendees the essentials of creating compelling copy. Marateck will take attendees through guided discussions, group exercises, and interactive activities to define copywriting and explain the differences between copywriting and other types of written communication.

Final Word

Atlanta’s bustling startup and entrepreneurial community have made it so that each week of the year is filled with excellent business development events. Fortunately, June and early July carry on this trend.

We hope you have found something on this list to add to your calendar for the next two months so you can begin to experience all this city has to offer entrepreneurs and small business owners.

Lastly, the list above is not exhaustive of what all is going on in Atlanta, so be sure to keep an eye on ASBN for more business-related events happening this summer.

Calling all Cinnamon Toast Crunch fanatics.

By Corey Williams
January 08, 2019

We tried Starbucks’ brand new Cinnamon Shortbread Latte and one thing’s for certain: This is one aptly named beverage.

Unlike some of the chain’s other popular lattes (*cough* PSL *cough*), this tastes exactly like what you’d expect.

Starbucks describes it as a “rich espresso with buttery vanilla shortbread sauce, topped with a dusting of cinnamon and nutmeg.” If that sounds like something you’d like, this is the latte for you.

But let me be clear: If you’re not a cinnamon fanatic, you’re probably not going to like this. This latte is about as cinnamon-y as a thing can be. Also, fair warning: This is incredibly sweet.

WATCH: How to Make Nutella French Toast Rolls

Most of us thought it was a bit too sweet, in fact.

“It’s better than other flavored coffee drinks I’ve had, but this still leaves an oddly sweet aftertaste. Not a fan,” said one unimpressed tester.

Others commented that they liked the flavor, but they couldn’t drink an entire cup.

I had an entirely different take, though: As someone who absolutely loves cinnamon, I think this latte is amazing. I’d go so far as to say it’s better than Starbucks’ Cinnamon Dolce Latte, my previous favorite.

What most people hated about the new release, I really liked.

Another tester said it “tastes like the last dregs of milk at the bottom of a cereal bowl” and I completely agree—but I love it.

If, like me, you enjoy every last drop of your bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, this is going to be your new go-to Starbucks order.

Men of the World

To view this film, you will require Adobe Flash 9 or higher and must have Javascript enabled.

Director Roland Clarke
Duration 9min 36sec
Release Date 1950
Sponsor Central Office of Information for War Office
Synopsis The British Army's commitments from Gibraltar, through Suez, to Hong Kong
Text version of this film

Released in 1950, Men of the World, was produced for propaganda purposes to parade the worldwide commitments of the British Armed Forces. However the timing was significant, since it not only showed Britain's involvement in the Korean War (1950-1953), but also implicitly explained her reduced status in the world.

The Second World War had not only gravely undermined Britain's already weakened commercial and financial leadership, but also heightened the reliance on the United States as a source of military assistance. By the end of the war the Government privately contemplated the possibility that Britain would no longer be a first-rank power. By 1947 this had become a reality as the nation faced economic crisis and the apparent beginning of the end for the Empire.

The Government's decision in 1947 to grant independence to India, once considered the Jewel in the Crown of the British Empire, marked the gradual slide from Empire to a Commonwealth. Following India's lead, nearly all of Britain's other colonies became independent over the next two decades.

Men of the World portrays Britain as a major world power. Yet her status, limitations and dependency on American military assistance were all exposed to a humiliating degree six years later with the unsuccessful intervention over the Suez Canal in 1956.

In fact during the filming in Malaya for Men of the World, the unit was ambushed by bandits and the cameraman was severely wounded.

Painless ways to increase your restaurant profits

I’ve been fascinated lately with the concept of mindful eating and how to “hack” your environments to lose weight and maintain healthy habits painlessly. I came across author, leading behavioural economist and food psychologist Brian Wansink on my quest for more information regarding mindful eating and how mindless eating can cause weight to creep on.

While I started out reading his book “Slim by Design: Mindless Eating Solutions for Everyday Life” by Brian Wansink from a personal standpoint, while I was reading the chapter on restaurants it occurred to me that there was information in the book that could benefit restaurant owners and franchisees that have some control over their menu and porcelain dinnerware collections. I’ve rounded up some of the best tips to easily and painlessly increase your restaurant profits – without your customers knowing you’re doing it and still leaving satisfied!

1. Buy smaller plates (example – downsize from an 11in plate to just under a 10 inch plate). For buffet owners, portions still look to be equivalent, but there’s actually less food being eaten, less food being wasted and the buffet restaurant therefore spends less. For table service restaurants – buying smaller plates still applies because diners feel like they’re getting better value for their money even when there’s less food on a smaller plate.

2. Ask your wait staff to sit diners farthest from the buffet. It makes food less tempting for diners as they can’t see the buffet easily, and makes it less convenient to go up to get more food.

3. Add descriptive words to lower food cost items to entice more sales – words that are sensory (crisp, pillowy, velvety), nostalgic (old-style, grandma’s), geographic (peruvian, southwestern). Diners are more tempted to order a crisp summer salad with avocado and shrimp then a shrimp salad.

4. Offer half plate portions. Most restaurant portions nowadays are large enough that a number of diners consciously choose to only eat half their entrée and take the rest home. If your restaurant is renowned for generous portions, diners that are just not that hungry may even be inclined to choose another restaurant. They may or may not order an appetizer or dessert depending on their appetite. With half plate portions, diners are more likely to feel they have room for an appetizer or dessert and a drink – equating to more money spent per cheque. Jamie Oliver’s restaurant in Yorkdale, Jamie’s Italian Restaurant, does half plate pasta portions well.

New Special Order Product: Folding Leg Harvest Tables

A few years ago we brought in solid wood harvest tables to compliment the rustic wedding trend along with adding cross back chairs to satisfy the chair component of the trend. These harvest tables were so popular this year that we had a hard time keeping them in stock. Their unfortunate downfall is they don’t have folding legs. They do have removable legs, however, this can be hard for party rental companies as there is no clips underneath the table to store the legs – so legs need to be very closely watched so nothing gets lost.

I’m pleased to announce that we now have the ability to special order Wood Harvest Tables with Folding Legs!

Wood harvest Table with Folding Legs

These tables come from our wood table manufacturer whom we routinely receive containers from. Production and lead time is around 45-60 days. The NES 8 foot Harvest Table has been designed to exceed the needs of the party rental industry. They feature a walnut stained 1.5" thick top made from Pine with supports that form a box on the underside of the table.

The legs on the NES 8-ft x 40" Solid Wood Harvest Tables are 2.75" square pieces of solid Pine that fold flat underneath the table.

NES Wood Harvest Tables can be used indoors or outdoors, and are perfect for any organisation that wants a durable rustic wooden folding table.

Wisconsin woman missing in Denver after sending concerning text to friend

Erin Vandewiele hasn't been heard from since July
Posted: 9:07 PM, Sep 19, 2018
Updated: 2018-09-20 12:24:50-04

A Wisconsin woman has gone missing in Denver, after sending eerie text messages to a friend that implied her boyfriend may try to harm her.

Erin Vandewiele's family says they haven't heard from her in months after she moved to Colorado with that man in early July.

Vandewiele is from Menomonie, Wis., about 30 minutes outside of Eau Claire. Most of her family still lives in that area, including her sister, Mandi Schmidt.

Schmidt says Thursday is Vandewiele's 41st birthday. Schmidt plans on leaving the lights on at her house, to tell her sister they are ready for her to come home.

"I'm hoping and praying she's still alive," said Schmidt.

Schmidt says her sister left with the man on July 5 and that no one in the family approved of the relationship.

A few days later, Vandewiele sent a text message to one of her friends that caused concern.

"I got more worried once I [saw] those text messages," said Schmidt.

The text said, "He's gonna kill me if I don't get away from him today." It was sent by Vandewiele to a friend on July 8.

The last time anyone heard from her was July 23.

"She always contacts somebody," said Schmidt. "Of course my brain automatically goes to the worst possible scenario."

The Denver Police Department posted a video on Facebook last week asking for the public's help in finding Vandewiele. Schmidt says they filed the missing persons report at the end of August.

Schmidt also said her sister's driver's license and social security card were found on a Denver bus.

Vandewiele's boyfriend was arrested on unrelated charges and brought back to western Wisconsin.

"I don't think she actually realizes how many people care and how much we care," said Schmidt.

Anyone with information about Vandewiele's disappearance is asked to call Denver Police at 720-913-7867.

Schmidt is also raising money through a Gofundme page so she can travel to Denver and pass out flyers and help look for her sister.

Connecticut Celebrates UConn Huskies With Rally, Parade

Thousands of UConn Huskies fans turned out in Hartford on Sunday afternoon to celebrate the UConn women’s basketball team, which made history by winning a fourth consecutive national title and the 11th national title overall.

Police estimate around 20,000 fans attended.

People dressed in UConn gear and holding signs lined Trinity, Jewell, Asylum and Trumbull streets and gathered for a rally after the parade, where the confetti filled the air and the seniors on the team thanked the crowd for being there and sending them off in a celebratory way.

"It's been an amazing four years here for me. I could never imagine that I would come to Connecticut and actually win four in a row. It's always been a goal, but to accomplish it with you guys has been amazing," Moriah Jefferson said.

The drew applause from the crowd.

Breanna Stewart, who won the John R. Wooden Award as one of the national college basketball players of the year on Friday night, thanked everyone for making the trip to celebrate with the team, especially on a day that was a bit cool for April.

 "Once a Husky, always a Husky," she said, which prompted a UConn cheer.

Head Coach Geno Auriemma was not able to attend the event because he is sick, so associate head coach Chris Dailey spoke on his behalf and thanked everyone who supported the team and the parade.

 "We're just really appreciative of the fans and the support," she said.

Dimethyl fumarate dosing in humans increases frataxin expression: A potential therapy for Friedreich's Ataxia.

Friedreich's Ataxia (FA) is an inherited neurodegenerative disorder resulting from decreased expression of the mitochondrial protein frataxin, for which there is no approved therapy. High throughput screening of clinically used drugs identified Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) as protective in FA patient cells. Here we demonstrate that DMF significantly increases frataxin gene (FXN) expression in FA cell model, FA mouse model and in DMF treated humans. DMF also rescues mitochondrial biogenesis deficiency in FA-patient derived cell model. We further examined the mechanism of DMF's frataxin induction in FA patient cells. It has been shown that transcription-inhibitory R-loops form at GAA expansion mutations, thus decreasing FXN expression. In FA patient cells, we demonstrate that DMF significantly increases transcription initiation. As a potential consequence, we observe significant reduction in both R-loop formation and transcriptional pausing thereby significantly increasing FXN expression. Lastly, DMF dosed Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients showed significant increase in FXN expression by ~85%. Since inherited deficiency in FXN is the primary cause of FA, and DMF is demonstrated to increase FXN expression in humans, DMF could be considered for Friedreich's therapy.

National Commission for the
Certification of Crane Operators
Committed to Quality, Integrity, and Fairness in Testing since 1995

Two More Lift & Move USA Career Events Planned

Lift+move0216-matte-no datesApril 2016—Building on the momentum generated by successful Lift & Move USA career events in Chicago last summer, and Houston in February, two more Lift & Move USA events have been scheduled for 2016.

Next up, Bucker Companies in Graham, NC, will host a one-day event on May 17, followed by Bragg Crane in Long Beach, CA, on November 2.

The first two events generated enormous interest among local high schools and career placement groups in the opportunities that professional certification can provide in the crane, rigging, and specialized transport industries. Correspondingly, the two additional events scheduled for 2016 have already garnered significant interest among employers seeking to identify the next generation of operators, engineers, riggers, mechanics, and sales staff.

“Given the importance of training and certification to the continued success of our industry, the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) will continue to help organize Lift & Move to make potential entrants to the industry aware of the availability of certification and how it can elevate the professional status of these occupations,” said NCCCO Director of Operations and Program Development, Joel Oliva.

“In conjunction with the Specialized Carriers & Rigging Association (SC&RA) and industry publisher KHL Group, NCCCO will continue to help grow and evolve Lift & Move USA to attract more young people to the industry,” Oliva continued. “The Lift & Move USA team is already considering how we can not only grow the size of these events, but what other resources we can offer to both employers and young people to help bring them together for actual job placement opportunities.”

A unique course that helps people in Cumbria with type 2 diabetes understand more about their condition has won a national innovation award.

The Cumbria DESMOND Injectable Toolkit programme was one of four shortlisted for the Innovation Category at the inaugural Celebrating DESMOND Awards 2019 and was held on Thursday 3rd October 2019.

DESMOND stands for Diabetes, Education and Self-Management course for Ongoing and Newly Diagnosed patients and is run by North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust (NCIC).

The Injectable Toolkit programme began in 2016 and offers patients access to a structured three day course for practical support and advice for patients with Type 2 diabetes when moving to injectable therapies for diabetes management.

Annette Routledge, Specialist Diabetes Nurse at NCIC said: “North Cumbria was one of only a few areas in the country to adopt the DESMOND Injectable Toolkit and we have adapted the course to meet the needs of people living in a large rural area, making it quite unique. To date, more than 200 patients have completed the course with impressive results.

“Individual course attendees’ feedback makes delivering this course one of the most rewarding aspects of my role. People have reported enjoying being part of a small group, gaining better understanding and feeling much more confident about managing their Type 2 Diabetes.

“People attending this three day group education are instantly extremely supportive of each other and I believe it is this shared understanding of what it is like to have Type 2 Diabetes as well as the Diabetes education content that makes the course reassuring and valuable for all involved.”

Patient feedback has been very positive. One patient said: “I feel the course has enabled me to understand Type 2 diabetes more and I now feel a lot more confident with it.  Both ladies taking the course were brilliant.  I did not feel embarrassed or unable to ask a silly question. Both helped me
enormously.  Hopefully my diabetes will now continue to be good with what I have learnt – thanks.”

Another patient said: “Being part of a small group has given an insight in other people’s problems and treatments and ideas, I wish I had known about this sooner.”

Annette added: “The Injectable Toolkit programme promotes self-management, based on current research theories and philosophy, and helps us meet national guidelines about the importance of shared decision making between people with diabetes and health professionals as well as ongoing support.”

DESMOND refers to a range of educational support programmes to help those with diabetes manage their condition. Within north Cumbria the Trust cares for over 22,000 people with Diabetes.

The event was also an opportunity for the team to attend workshops, network and share good practice.

Wanted man captured by Trail RCMP

Ishmani Baker was arrested at a rural property on Columbia Gardens Road

Trail RCMP, with assistance from a variety of units including Cranbrook Police Dog Services, apprehended Ishmani Baker, a wanted man who had earlier eluded capture.

On Friday (Dec. 7), at 10:40 a.m. police officers from the Trail and Greater District RCMP Detachment, Kootenay Boundary Regional GIS, Trail and Castlegar Crime Reduction Unit, West Kootenay Traffic Services, Kootenay Containment Team, and Cranbrook Police Dog Services attended a rural property located on Columbia Gardens Road outside of Trail.

According to Sgt. Mike Wicentowich, Baker, who evaded a previous attempt to arrest him in Beasley on the weekend, once again tried to escape but the police dog was deployed resulting in a successful capture.

Baker, 21, was arrested for his 10 unendorsed Warrants of Arrest out of Fort. St. John. Baker will be facing criminal charges in addition to the ones from Fort St. John.

Stolen property was located during the arrest and will be returned to the owners.

Baker’s warrants include: assault with a weapon; uttering threats; mischief under $5,000; enter dwelling with intent to commit; failing to comply with probation; and breach of undertaking.

The One Face That Reveals Them All

This Town is Still Waiting

We still wait alone here, fading and degenerate colors flown in the dark and I continue to tape missing posters to the vacant office glow in the remembrance of your likeness.
Things have changed, but so much they remain the same.
I sometimes note the change in your increased absence, in the rorschach smear I have of you, and........ the twist of your nose. But in all these changes, as the lie of your new face slops in my worn hands, know that I will keep you safe, this.
I still bother the decayed star clusters found in discolored trees opening with hands gnarled, covering us in spindles of stabbing shade, where no light shines , and I blow them toward up you in loving bunches.
You may not see them-- you will hear them buzz in the delirious tongues of orphaned demons; they will sting your doe eyes till you see the whispers and small motions of this town which still waits for you, and where you will always be.
Though the rotting fog makes things vague , I remind myself to be a trooper
and walk through it toward you, my slumpy moon face, the One Face That Stills: The One Which Reveals All The Others. It burns the the Face which you have never seen,
which I will only reveal at the moment of your return. It is reflected in my fellow denizens' degeneration, the smell of which colors my dreams, their long faces and oblong curators of capped moonlight, always replaced with a special chemistry which will be yours again, which will infect the wind blowing through this empty place crawling with armadillo eyes and the flying rodent's moon psalm, which has suddenly made my nose putty and which touches yours' in your painted likeness which, when the pale sun finally boils here, drools in my hands.
This poisoned somnabulism flooding your brain as a spiked origami flower unfurlinng in the hidden crags of your soft tissue. In the fermenting nocturnes, silent hatchlings which silence you with a still adoration reserved for a saint, you will realize you've only ever been here, and wherever you go, here you are.
Consider this an approaching note from the town and man who still loves you, and The One Face That Stills in the darkroom of your fitful, palsied sleep; look in the mirror and see if I have paid a visit, those bulbous cataracts of long stars drooling from your doe eyes put on some glasses if it seems an oversight and manifest in the sick deja vu of a sudden meeting in the whole of sincerity: eye to eye.

Editing stage:

I stumbled a few times on my first read-thru, started getting the hang of it, then figured out what was throwing me off. So, the second & third time I read thru I was more easily moved.
This is a decent piece that could use some tightening up. I got a couple suggestions but, as for what threw me off, I wouldn't know where or what to do. I'm sure the big guys here will also read what I post here & guide u more eloquently with what I noticed.
First, the stumbles I had were sentences that seemed either out of order or had a word that didn't fit in.

"and I blow them toward up you in loving bunches"
Maybe blow them up toward you, or even just up to you.

"in the remembrance of your likeness"
I think 'the shouldn't be in there. In remembrance, or in the memory if ur rlly attached to that 'the'.

Unfurlinng- easy fix.

There's maybe one or two other little things like those and those aren't rlly a big deal.

this empty place crawling with armadillo eyes and the flying rodent's moon psalm,
LOVED this line! If u change it you will be hearing from me again!
Your descriptive style is incredible! This piece felt very dark, lonely & even frightening at times but with heavy forlorn & wistful tones that meshed together perfectly. At first, I thought it was about a very close loved one had passed, then I felt it was about you (or the narrator) coping alone after a stroke, then I thought the loved one had the stroke or dementia ( or something similar, idk) & the the narrator stayed by their side even after death. That's not what threw me, though. I like the mystery in the interpretations. Rlly had me think & pay closer attention.

Alright, I think I built enough tension. Are you leaning down to your screen? You ready?
What threw me was it didn't read like a poem at all. It wouldn't flow in my head.
I realized it reads very much like a letter. A very poetic & beautiful letter, but not a poem. I've done that here a couple times but never changed them. Just said screw it, it's short story just shaped like a poem.

Loved reading this & will come back & read it again. Sry it's a long critique but it's a long piece.
