Water Safety Breakthrough

Lifevests that inflate when submerged
"This is the most important step toward saving lives since the invention of the life vest," says Ray Scott, about the recent United States Coast Guard approval of the first automatic inflatable life vest, SOSPENDERS, by Sporting Lives, Inc.

"The key to saving lives is not just to have a floatation device handy - it is getting people to wear it. SOSPENDERS vests save lives because people don't mind wearing them," says Scott, a nationally recognized leader in boating safety and founder of the world's largest fishing organization, the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society. "Until now, people didn't like to wear life vests because they were uncomfortable. They got in the way of having fun."

Numbers tell the deadly result: of the 821 water-related fatalities in 1997, the most recent year for which statistics are available, 663 of those people were not wearing life vests. Another 65 were wearing them, but still drown. "We'll see both numbers plunge in upcoming seasons," says Scott.

"The automatic inflatable SOSPENDERS life vests are narrow, thin and lightweight," he adds, "They don't get in the way. The vest inflates when submerged, and - and this is so very important," Scott says - "the SOSPENDERS vest will turn most unconscious people to a face-up position and hold their head, nose, and mouth out of the water. Check the label on your current vest," he says. "Most say that they won't do that." Scott Swanby, president/C.E.O. of Sporting Lives, plans to have the automatic units ready in time for Christmas.

Alabama's Marine Police already wear the manually-activated SOSPENDERS; as do law enforcement officials in other states. It was the vest of choice of 40 of the 45 pros in the BASS Masters Classic world championship in July.
Swanby spearheaded the fight for comfortable, inflatable PFDs after a friend, who was not wearing his PFD, drown in 1983. The life vest, he had said, was "bulky and uncomfortable." Swanby, who was left to tell his wife and children that he wouldn't be coming home, vowed to develop a life vest that people would wear; one that would float them high and face-up in the water.

B.A.S.S. founder, Scott, first began championing boating safety among America's approximately 30 million bass anglers. He required B.A.S.S. tournament anglers to wear life vests in the early 1970's. He then helped pioneer kill switches with Mercury Motors and required their use in his tournaments.

His work earned him the United States Coast Guard Public Service Commendation for furthering Coast Guard aims. After eight years as a supporter of SOSPENDERS, without compensation, Scott recently signed on as spokesperson.

Sporting Lives, Inc., is the number one manufacturer of high-performance inflatable personal flotation devices. Its
United States Coast Guard approved SOSPENDERS PFDs include World Class Sailing harnesses and the World Class Sport and Belt-Pack models.

SOSPENDERS are available in many stores or by phoning 1-800-518-7222. A free demonstration video is available for the cost of shipping andhandling.

Exploring a marvel of engineering

Penn Station still a landmark in logistics

In our throw-away American culture, it’s worth noting that seven miles of train tunnels drilled under two rivers more than a century ago still carry passengers in and out of New York City every day.

“All of the tracks and the tunnels coming in and out of Penn Station that were built by the Pennsylvania Railroad in the 1900s are still there and still working,” said Randall MacLowry, the writer, producer, and director of The Rise and Fall of Penn Station.

That is just one of the astonishing facts viewers learn from the one-hour American Experience documentary that WGTE-TV, channel 30, airs at 9 p.m. Tuesday. A grand public space that was also a monument to engineering and vision, the original Penn Station occupied four contiguous blocks.

When it opened in 1910, it was the fourth largest building in the world and had been constructed without any public tax dollars. It was built after Alexander Cassatt, who became president of the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1899, realized that his company’s trains stopped one mile short of New York City and that passengers had to board a ferry to reach Manhattan.

The railroad executive spent three days looking at a new station in Paris called the Gare d’Orsay where trains passed through tunnels on electrified tracks.

Samuel Rea, head engineer on Penn Station, never went to college and later ran the Pennsylvania Railroad. Rea had urged Cassatt to visit the Paris train station. In 1902, Cassatt hired architect Charles McKim, designer of the Boston Public Library, to draw up plans for Penn Station.

Once drilling began for the $50 million project, one New York newspaper called it, “our own Panama Canal here on the West Side of Manhattan.” A total of 16 miles of tunnels were built, seven of which were under water. The tunnels had to support trains that weighed several tons and traveled at high rates of speed.

To connect New York with New Jersey, shafts were drilled in Manhattan and Weehawken, N.J., and two tunnels built under the Hudson River. Another four tunnels built under the East River connected New York and the Pennsylvania Railroad with the Long Island Railroad. The third phase of the project, completed in 1917, was the opening of the Hell Gate Bridge, which links New York to New England.

The Hudson River’s soft, silty underbelly presented challenges. To build the tunnels, workers known as “sandhogs” used what was called a Greathead Shield.

“The shield is a huge iron cylinder inside which the tunnel gets built. At the front of the cylinder is a cutting edge,” Mr. MacLowry said, adding that the shield weighed 200 tons, was 23 feet in diameter, and 17 feet long.

“At the front of the shield, there were nine compartments,” Mr. MacLowry said. “They could open them up and all the soil and rock would flow through. Or, they would go into the front of the shield and shovel the muck into waiting carts that got taken out through the rail tracks inside the tunnel.”

The deeper they drilled, the greater the water pressure. Some workers drowned while others suffered bad cases of “the bends.”

By 1961, the Pennsylvania Railroad was broke and Penn Station was dirty. The railroad sold the building, and demolition of Charles McKim’s architectural masterpiece began in 1963. Today, the site holds Madison Square Garden and an office complex called Penn Plaza.

“The current Penn Station,” Mr. MacLowry said, “has a lot of detractors. The station itself is all underground. The original Penn Station harked back to these great public spaces of ancient Rome. … It still stuns me.”

Police & Fire

Friend: Victim sought new path

The victim of a fatal shooting two days ago was trying to turn his life around at the time of his death, a friend said yesterday.

Toledo police have made no arrests in the slaying of Corey Schwartz, 25, who was found dead Friday at his home.

Mr. Schwartz died from two gunshot wounds in his face, said Dr. Cynthia Beisser, deputy Lucas County coroner.

He died in the early morning and was found about 1 p.m. at his upstairs apartment, 847 1/2 West Delaware Ave., she said.

Childhood friend Andrea Johnson said she saw him the day before he died.

“I talked to him that night,” Ms. Johnson said. “He seemed so at peace with himself.”

Ms. Johnson said Mr. Schwartz had been living out of town with a relative until about a month ago, when he moved onto West Delaware, just a few blocks from her house. After his move, the two rekindled their friendship.

“He turned out to be a very nice young man,” she said. “I just started seeing him again, and now he's gone.”

Toledo police Sgt. Greg Smith said officers conducted interviews yesterday, but they have not identified likely suspects.

Police are not treating the shooting as gang-related, but they are not ruling out the possibility, Sgt. Smith said.

“I believe [Mr. Schwartz] had affiliations with gangs at one time,” he said.

Ms. Johnson said Mr. Schwartz was involved with gangs as a teenager, but had given up that lifestyle long ago.

“He told me he was looking for a decent job and talked to me about taking classes at night school,” she said. “Everything was going so well and he was thinking so positive. I don't know how someone could have done this to him.”

Support shifts on absentee vote reform

COLUMBUS - A proposed constitutional amendment that would open early voting by absentee ballot to any registered voter for any reason was originally the exception to the rule.

Even as the largely Republican opposition lined up to oppose other election-reform proposals on redistricting, campaign contributions, and election administration on the Nov. 8 ballot, it was divided on letting more voters use absentee ballots.

The House GOP inserted something similar into an election-reform bill the chamber overwhelmingly sent to the Senate in May. Republican heavyweights, Secretary of State Ken Blackwell and Attorney General Jim Petro, broke from the GOP pack to support this issue.

But now, early voting and no-fault absentee ballots, some form of which is in place in nearly half the states in the country, suddenly are not as popular. The provision added to the House bill is in danger in the Senate. And Mr. Blackwell has changed his mind.

"It's easier to simply urge people to vote against all of them," said Herb Asher, Ohio State University political science professor and spokesman for Reform Ohio Now, the largely Democrat coalition pushing all four amendments.

Voters will be asked to amend the Ohio Constitution to allow any voter to cast an absentee ballot by mail or in person at the county board of elections up to 35 days before the election. No longer would a voter have to attest he can't make it to the polls on Election Day due to age, illness, infirmity, military duty, or out-of-town commitments.

"I'm really puzzled as to why they would oppose it at this point and time," said Rep. Edna Brown (D., Toledo), who twice introduced non-fault absentee ballot bills before the idea was amended into House Bill 3 earlier this year.

"Why all of a sudden are some people who were supporting it now saying they oppose it?" she asked. "Why are they having a change of heart?"

Blackwell spokesman Carlo LoParo said the secretary of state continues to generally support the concept.

"No-fault is an outstanding idea, and is something the state of Ohio should have," he said. "But to insert this provision into the state constitution is not a good idea. It has several inherent flaws."

He pointed to a provision allowing voters who requested an absentee ballot but still show up at a polling place on Election Day to cast a provisional ballot. The provisional ballot would be counted only after the county board of elections confirms it didn't receive an absentee ballot from that voter.

"It allows voters to vote twice," said Mr. LoParo. "It's a very important, problematic issue. We're concerned the boards of election won't catch duplicate provisional and absentee ballots."

Critics also take aim at a provision requiring county boards of election to count any absentee ballot postmarked as late as Election Day and received as late as 10 days after the election. Currently, absentee ballots must be received by the close of polls on Election Day to be counted.

They say a massive absentee ballot vote could mean the public may not know the winner of a close race for days. Last November, more than 600,000 Ohioans voted absentee during a presidential election won by President Bush by less than 119,000 votes.

"Given the huge long lines that occurred in Ohio last year, there's the sense that we need to solve that problem somehow. The easiest and perhaps least expensive solution is to allow more in-home voting," said Edward (Ned) Foley, an Ohio State law professor specializing in election law. He is not affiliated with Reform Ohio Now.

Despite the limited reasons for which absentee ballots are allowed under current law, Mr. LoParo noted Ohio doesn't have "absentee ballot police" who show up at a voter's home on Election Day to make sure he's out of town as promised.

"You can make the argument that political parties currently consider Ohio's absentee ballot law to be no-fault absentee in terms of the aggressive use or absentee ballots in last year's election," he said. "Applications for absentee ballots were mailed to quite a few Ohioans."

The bill that passed the House also included language allowing the casting of provisional ballots when receipt of an absentee ballot is in question. It does not, however, include the later date for receipt of absentee ballots.

"When it comes to absentee and early voting, we're not path-beaters," said Mr. Asher. "Oregon has gone to entirely mail ballots. It's not particularly new.

"The opponents are trying to scare people by talking about fraud, which is a false issue," he said. "But this is more a recognition that many citizens want to vote, but it takes time to vote."

UT herds Marshall

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. - It was deathly silent. If a pin had dropped, it would have sounded like a giant oak crashing down. A hush had fallen over the land.

Marshall, the colossus of the Mid-American Conference, was taken in its own lair - losing at home for only the second time in 52 games over the last eight seasons. The University of Toledo stunned the Thundering Herd 24-17 last night and sent 31,511 home in silence.

The two teams had gone toe-to-toe in the last couple of MAC Championship games, and split a pair of wild shoot-outs. This one came down to the 11th hour as well, and the Rockets won it by driving 57 yards in 11 plays and scoring the decisive touchdown with 1:10 left in the game.

“Everybody realized it was critical, that it might be our last chance,” sophomore running back Trinity Dawson said. “The offensive line was great in that final drive, and the defense got after it and gave us a chance to win.”

The Toledo defense stopped a Marshall possession with just under nine minutes left in a 17-17 game when Brandon Hefflin intercepted a tipped ball deep in Rocket territory. The Thundering Herd turned it over again with under seven minutes to play when UT's Patrick Body hit Butchie Wallace, knocking the ball loose, and Paul Dye recovered for Toledo near midfield.

Staying almost exclusively on the ground, the Rockets drove a stake through Marshall's heart by just pounding away and burning up the clock. Sophomore quarterback Bruce Gradkowski picked up three yards on a critical fourth-and-one at the Marshall 34, and Astin Martin went in for the winning score from 10 yards out four plays later.

“We faced adversity throughout the game,” Gradkowski said, “but we realized that when you play at a place like this, you have to limit your mistakes and battle every play. Every year it's a shootout, but when it really counted, the defense stopped them and we put it in the endzone.”

After UT took the lead, Marshall put together a frantic push towards the endzone that ended when Body intercepted a Marshall pass at the UT 11. The Thundering Herd lost at home for the first time since Oct. 5, 2000.

Marshall had a 3-0 lead just over five minutes into the game on a Ben Lewis 38-yard field goal. The drive was kept alive by a late pass interference call on a third down play from the Marshall 39. The Herd next drove 80 yards for a touchdown on a seven yard Earl Charles run and a 10-0 lead, aided by two major penalties on the Rockets.

Toledo was moving the ball when the first quarter ended, making seven consecutive gains. But the Rockets were stopped short on a fourth and the length of a Snickers bar at the Marshall 11.

“We had to match their enthusiasm,” UT head coach Tom Amstutz said. “Obviously, when you come to Marshall it is tough to come away with a win. They step on this field expecting to win.”

Toledo's Robert Menefee recovered a Herd fumble early in the second quarter, putting UT in motion from the Marshall 41. On second down, Gradkowski hit a leaping Terrance Hudson at the 14, and Hudson spun away from the Marshall defenders for a 39-yard touchdown. Jason Robbins kicked the point and UT trailed 10-7 with just under 12 minutes left in the half.

Before the half ended, UT stopped Marshall on a fourth-and-one from the eight as Body slipped through and hit Butchie Wallace for no gain. UT missed out on a couple of potential scoring opportunities before he half ended with Robbins well short on a 45-yard field goal try.

Toledo took the lead to open the second half, driving 63 yards in six plays after a 40-yard kickoff return by Moore. Dawson carried for 27 yards on three carries, and Gradkowski hit Moore for 21 yards before he found Andrew Clarke with a 14-yard scoring pass. Robbins kicked the point for a 14-10 UT advantage.

Toledo dodged a couple of bullets in the third quarter as Charles fumbled the ball away after taking a big hit from Chaz Williams at the Toledo 12 and Brock Dodrill recovered. A bit later, Gradkowski recovered his own fumble deep in UT territory after Marshall had the first grab at it.

“It was just back and forth,” Gradkowski said, “and we realized Marshall was not giving up. We had to make the plays when it really counted.”

The Herd then took the lead 17-14 as Graham Gochneaur threw 22 yards over the middle to a wide open Watts. Toledo came back and tied it at 17-17 before the third quarter ended on a 37-yard field goal by Robbins, which tied his career longest.

In six-plus seasons in the MAC, only once before has a team bus left Huntington free to blast its horn in celebration. Last night the horn was heard again.

Storm fizzles in Reading

READING, Pa. - The Storm offense was clicking in the first period of last night's game against Reading.

Unfortunately, the Royals' attack was even more efficient.

The Storm scored two early goals, but Reading responded with three unanswered goals in the opening period. They shut Toledo down the rest of the way for a 4-2 victory at the Sovereign Center.

Through the first six meetings between the clubs this year, the home team has won each game.

The Storm's much-maligned power play went to work early, as Mike Walsh batted home a rebound at the 3:30 mark of the first period for a 1-0 lead.

Toledo, which is now 7-2-0 when they score first, added to its lead just four minutes later as Taylor Raszka notched his first professional goal at 7:28 to put the Storm up 2-0.

Reading, though, came storming back behind it's own power play. During a 5-on-3 advantage for the Royals, John Snowden blasted one by Storm goaltender Stefan Liv to pull Reading within a goal at 10:01 of the first. The Royals tied the game at 13:19 when James Hiebert put one past Liv. After a flurry of penalties toward the end of the period, Joe Zappala tallied an even-strength goal at 19:20 to give the Royals a 3-2 lead.

After a penalty and offensive-filled first period, the teams skated even through the middle frame. Neither team was able to tally in the second period.

In the third, with Toledo (9-6-1) using an extra attacker in the final minute, the Royals' Chris Bala stole the puck away and scored an empty-net goal with just two seconds left.

Liv had a solid game in his Storm debut, stopping 34 of 37 shots sent his way.

BOWLING GREEN - Bryan Marshall of Nebraska-Omaha scored scored three goals in the first period last night in a 4-1 Central Collegiate Hockey Associateon victory over Bowling Green.

Kai Kantola tallied the only goal for the Falcons (3-11-1, 1-8 CCHA) on a power play in the second period.

Toma Klempa also scored for Nebraska-Omaha (5-7-4, 4-6-1).

BGSU goaltender Jimmy Spratt made 31 saves. The Mavericks' Jeremie Dupont made 24.

Turkey's Ties With ISIL Continue to Arouse Suspicions

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant militants continue to score victories across Iraq. For neighbor Turkey, there is growing concern over ISIL's growing power, particularly in its predominantly Kurdish southeast, which borders Iraq and Syria. In Diyarbakir, as in the rest of Turkey's predominantly Kurdish southeast, many Kurds are religious. That, analysts say, and decades of economic underdevelopment and conflict, with the Kurds fighting for minority rights, have helped make...

From the Pastor: Back to the Basics 2016

EnF7DhHROS8OMEp2pCkx_Dufer food overhead hig res

As we start 2016, many have asked, “What are we going to be studying this year?”

Well, believe or not, we have a full year of topics already planned! We are going to go “back to the basics” of our faith through a study of God’s character, created to praise in the Psalms, assurance of salvation in 1 John, the 10 Commandments in Exodus, and a study of the incarnation.  Peter said in 2 Peter 1:13:

And it is only right that I should keep on reminding you as long as I live.

At TVBC, we’re committed to a “reminding ministry.” Don’t be deceived into thinking that knowledgeable Christians don’t need to continue to be taught Christians.   That’s why we are not blown about by every fad of church practice.  We know health and soundness ultimately come from regular reminding of the great truths of the news of Jesus Christ and how we should therefore live.

We need to reminded of the basics for many reasons—in order to prevent our forgetting it, to improve our knowledge, and to encourage us in application, especially those opposed truths. A simple one line prayer for our year is. “Lord, help me to remember tomorrow what you taught me today.”  Thank you for praying that for all of TVBC!

It will be an exciting year as we go “back to the basics” to go deeper in who God is and what He has done for us in the Gospel!

California Science Center celebrates the one-year anniversary of Endeavour's arrival

Monday 7, October 2013

California Science Center celebrates the one-year anniversary of Endeavour's arrival

The California Science Center is commemorating the one-year anniversary of Endeavour's arrival at its Samuel Oschin Pavilion with a celebration to thank everyone who joined in supporting the shuttle's historic journey.

Endeavour Fest will take place at the Science Center from October 11 – 13 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. It will feature over a dozen NASA exhibits, displays and educational demonstrations illustrating aeronautics, research missions and ongoing space exploration programs for humans, robots and satellites. Guests will have the opportunity to meet and hear astronauts speaking about their experiences and learn about future plans for Endeavour's new permanent home in the Science Center's Samuel Oschin Air and Space Center. A SpaceX Dragon will be on display as well. All activities will take place in the Science Center's Donald P. Loker Conference Center.

This exciting community event will also launch the west coast premiere of the Red Bull Stratos Exhibit featuring the 3,000 pound capsule and space suit used by Felix Baumgartner when he jumped from the stratosphere and became the first human to break the sound barrier during freefall. Baumgartner's record-breaking leap took place on October 14, 2012—the same day Endeavour arrived at the Science Center.

Endeavour Fest will premiere the first screenings of Three Nights, Three Days, a new 20-minute documentary on Endeavour's 68-hour transport through the streets of Los Angeles and Inglewood. The film takes a behind-the-scenes look at the monumental feat of moving a 150,000-pound national treasure through 12 miles of urban, public streets. It will screen daily at: 11:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m., 3:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m.

A Record-Breaking Attendance

Since the shuttle display opened in the Samuel Oschin Pavilion on October 30, 2012, nearly 2.7 million guests have visited the Science Center, over one million more than the previous year - including more than 21,000 visitors in a single day. Guests also broke all-time Science Center attendance records for the months of July and August 2013.

Admission to Endeavour Fest is free however timed tickets will be required to visit the Space Shuttle Endeavour exhibit. Advance purchase online is highly recommended to avoid long lines at the Box Office. Please visit the website or call (213) 744-2019 to make a reservation.

Alternative Distribution and Missing Profit/Loss Signals

This recent article by filmmaker magazine highlights some of the innovation happening in independent film distribution.  Rarely do you see such crystal clear willingness to examine with economic rationality the options facing filmmakers outside of the traditional distribution paradigm.

I am also impressed by the call to action made by filmmaker magazine here to encourage filmmakers to speak out about the realities of their financial success or failure in applying different distribution and marketing methods.

Price and profit signals are essential for calculating the success or failure of innovation.

Unfortunately there is so much potential career baggage surrounding the expectations for directors to demonstrate huge returns on their films that many directors are intimidated to make public the financial realities of the experimentation process.

Without that information, we are left in total ignorance as to the viability or non-viability of alternative distribution structures.

If we had a clear picture of what films were grossing what amounts of money under particular distribution structures, we would be that much more prepared to anticipate what amounts to a realistic budget for small independent films outside of conventional distribution space.

All of this amounts to attempting to mitigate the extreme uncertainty that has always been inherent in this industry.

Information is the necessary component, and that information is contained in price and profit signals that are currently kept secret, perhaps because of a fear of career repercussions when numbers amount to being less than impressive by Hollywood box office standards, or if only because of a perceived lack of interest in the importance of this crucial information of the relative commercial success and failure of obscure cinema.

Importance of Timing in Psychic Reading

Importance of Timing in Psychic Reading

by -

Psychic Reading & Timing

Your energy informs a reading. The subtlest way you phrase a question or answer can shape the patterns of what your psychic hears, sees and feels. Having a reading a few days apart delivers a whole separate set of energy to the psychic. If this is the same psychic, the new energy only builds upon initial patterns. If this is a new psychic, the energy of today may be completely different than the energy of yesterday. Casting this new impression on a psychic for the first time also carries something else. It carries the energy of the previous psychic reading. You are forever changed by each passing moment in life. Every experience you have alters the very core of your being. When you see a movie, you will never know what you would have done with those two hours. You will never know what it is like to go through life without the experience of having seen that film. A psychic reading, therefore, is high on the list of truly transformative experiences. To see a psychic after having gone through such an experience is like delivering a different person to the reading.

There is a tendency for people to seek out a new psychic reading after experiencing a primary reading that does not deliver the news of the future they want. Consider it like getting a second opinion in the medical field. When you go for your second reading, you are not the same person who got that first reading. You have been altered; your energy has been released, examined and re-delivered to you. An alternate psychic reading following a disappointing or ominous first reading will almost always be good. Why is this? You exude intense energy after a powerful reading. A reading that carries challenges that you are still struggling to even face, let alone embark on will reshape the energy another psychic sees. The gloomy forecast may actually make you a more stable, methodical person and lead to a better forecast. The first reading alters you and the second reading frees your newly disciplined spirit to succeed.

Treviso Antitrust Conference 2016

The Treviso conference on "Antitrust between EU law and National law", now in its twelfth edition, takes place every two years in Treviso since 1992; it is hosted by Cassamarca Foundation and is sponsored by the European Lawyers' Union (U.A.E), the Associazione Italiana per la Tutela della Concorrenza - member of the Ligue Internationale du Droit de la Concurrence (LIDC), the Associazione Italian dei Giuristi d'Impresa (AIGI), the European Company Lawyers Association (AEJE-ECLA), the Associazione Antitrust Italiana (AAI) and by Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence, Università degli Studi di Milano.

The topical relevance of the issues covered and the presence of high-qualified speakers made the Treviso Conference, since its first edition, one of the most significant moments of encounter and debate among the leading representatives of national and international antitrust law. Indeed, the Conference includes, among its participants, representatives of the International Antitrust Authorities, as well as outstanding figures from academics and the professionals involved in the enforcement of antitrust law.

A Technology, Cloud Solutions & Industry Expertise Blog

Ask the Expert: Can Inventory Optimization Make or Break the Customer Experience?

Published: June 23, 2016
Jessica is responsible for the Customer Experience practice at Tribridge and has many certifications Read More

This blog is part of our Ask the Expert series on improving the customer journey by evaluating and improving customer interactions across various touch points within your organization.

I sat down with Mark Linsmeier, a Business Consulting Operational Excellence Practice Leader at Tribridge. Mark has over 20 years' of consulting experience, with an extensive background in supply chain and operations within the Consumer & Industrial Products industry. He has assisted and managed companies ranging from start-ups to mature Fortune 50 globalized industrial corporations.

Today, manufacturing is more than building, delivering and returning physical goods. With margins at an all-time low and high expectations for speedy delivery, the experience provided is often the go-to-way to differentiate - from sales through delivery and ongoing support services.

Inventory optimization opportunities to improve customer experience range from fine tuning of existing inventory management strategies to deep organizational changes. Organizations can improve operating processes and information flow to streamline inventory management, reducing overhead and improving cash flow.

Q: How can these types of improvements to operating processes improve the customer experience?

A: High product costs and swelling inventories may seem like an internal, operational issue several degrees removed from the customer experience; however, these costs lead to higher prices for the customer. Also, incorrectly lowering inventory levels to reduce these costs can create stock outages and backorders, which quickly result in lost sales and dissatisfied customers. Fill rates and service levels directly affect customer retention and turnover.

Q: What makes optimizing inventory difficult?

A: The primary hurdle in optimizing inventory is establishing and maintaining proper stocking levels and replenishment strategies. These need to be set in a way that balances both customer expectations for product availability and overall costs of carrying inventory.

Q: What types of events can introduce inventory level challenges?

A: Integrating acquisitions or consolidating products into one distribution center can make overall finished goods inventory levels a challenge.

The immediate challenges can be:

  • Shortage of physical space
  • Bloating inventory values

Q: If an organization is running out of space, why don't they just reduce the quantity of each product they stock?

A: Arbitrary cuts can result in a severe overcorrection creating significant stock outages and backorders of core product. Customer order fill can plummet, resulting in not only lost revenue from back orders, but more critically dissatisfied customers who turn to competitors to fill their needs.

Q: If stocking level cuts adversely affect customers, how do you tackle high product costs and bloating inventory values, while improving the customer experience?

A: We approach process improvement using the Lean Six Sigma methodology, which requires a data driven analysis and consideration for the voice of the customer and their requirements. Any change to inventory replenishment strategies must be consistent with customer demands and in alignment with the enterprise business strategy.

In some cases, our team will:

  • Complete a thorough analysis of customer sales history vs. on-hand inventory. We take several factors into account, including where products fall within their lifecycle, profit margins by product and customer, strategic value of each product category and customer market segment.
  • Identify slow moving and obsolete products that need to be reduced or eliminated to free up space for products that were selling.
  • Rebalance high velocity (fast selling) and low velocity (slower selling) items to improve both warehouse and labor utilization by moving inventory to locations with more suitable capacity and accessibility.
  • Develop a comprehensive cycle count program to improve and maintain inventory accuracy.  Accurate inventory levels build confidence and enable safety stock level reduction without adversely impacting product availability.

The inventory management strategies that got a company where they are today are not guaranteed to be the ones they need to continue growing and meeting the rapidly evolving needs of their customers.

At Tribridge, we work with our customers to identify supply chain, operations and manufacturing performance gaps by assessing business strategy and current utilization of people, processes and technology.  Tribridge recently hosted a four-part webinar series: 12 Steps to Achieving Effective Inventory Management. If you need guidance in achieving effective inventory management, I highly recommend watching the series: Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3 | Part 4

Be sure to stay tuned for upcoming blogs in our Ask the Expert series to learn how your organization can improve the customer journey. To learn more about how your organization can optimize its inventory reach out to Tribridge to help.

by • July 22, 2016 • Fanzine issue, latest issueComments Off on true faith – ISSUE 126 – The Story of Pele (Pt.3)948

Those of you who have been reading true faith for any time will be aware that one of our faithful Black & White tribe, John Milton, formerly of the parish of Heaton has been billeted in Rio in that Brazil for these last number of years. For some reason, John has exchanged the delights of Chilli Road for the beaches of Rio and a sunshine lifestyle in one of the world’s greatest cities. Each to their I own I suppose. I’m not jealous. At all. No, really.

Whilst John has been out in Rio, our man in the favelas has treated us to some wonderful insights and writing about life in Brazil but especially its football culture but one that is uniquely written by a Mag discovering all of this for the first time. John has managed to swerve the samba football cliches and waded through the undergrowth of Brazilian football and produced some outstanding pieces for us. There isn’t another fanzine anywhere which has been able to match this or come anywhere near this level of coverage.

As your gob-shite fanzine is committed to giving you an alternative view, in the latest issue John has completed a trilogy of pieces detailing the life of perhaps the greatest Brazilian footballer that has ever played, namely Pele.

John’s pieces though have looked at every element of Pele’s life, his emergence, his status and achievements as well as his career in the US, his family life and his various links with FIFA etc. Its an absolutely fascinating read.

I’m delighted to say, you can get at John’s final piece in this latest issue of true faith (TF126). All you need to do is to click here and you’ll be taken to a brilliant article. Get a cold bottle, fire up the tablet and kick back with a brilliant piece of writing, written by one of your fellow supporters focusing on one of the world’s best ever players.

And all absolutely FREE and superbly illustrated and presented in the country’s best fanzine.

You can follow John Milton on Twitter via @Geordioca

Golden Eagles tripped up in four sets at OVC rival Belmont

Golden Eagles tripped up in four sets at OVC rival Belmont

By Rob Schabert, Assistant Athletic Director for Sports Information

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Junior Ellen Conti and sophomore Cody Dodd each hit for a solid percentage and put down 11 kills, and the Tennessee Tech volleyball team ignored a 2-0 deficit to show some fight Friday night at Belmont, but the Golden Eagles couldn't muster enough firepower to prevent the host Bruins from winning their fifth straight set, 3-1, in the Curb Event Center.

Belmont improved to 6-3 in OVC play and 13-12 overall, getting a match-high 12 kills from Jocelyn Youngdahl and 11 from Scarlet Gable to offset a spirited effort by the visitors. Tech had 10 service aces and 10 total blocks, but hit .118 for the match and allowed 16 aces by Belmont, two factors that helped sabotage the effort.

The Bruins went on a 6-0 run midway in the first set to take a 13-5 lead before Tech silenced the run. It was only momentary, however, as Belmont found a way to extend its lead, winning the first set, 25-13.

The Bruins opened an 11-3 lead in set two before the Golden Eagles pieced together a 5-0 run to come within two, 17-15. Tech kept the set close, but Belmont ended the set, 25-20, behind a kill from Youngdahl as the Bruins took a 2-0 lead at the break.

Belmont hit .258 in the first two sets, holding TTU to a .071.

After the break, Belmont jumped out to a 5-1 lead dbefore Tech tied set three at 7-7 and took its first lead of the night, 8-7. The teams exchanged points, befor a 4-0 Golden Eagle run gave coach Dave Zelenock's team a 16-11 lead. Once again, the teams exchanged points, reaching a 24-24 deadlock, before the Golden Eagles tacked on the final two points for a 26-24 victory.

Tech maintained its momentum to start set four, jumping out a 9-6 lead before Belmont began to chip away at the difference. A TTU attack error allowed Belmont to tie the set at 14-14 and a kill from Youngdahl gave the Bruins a 15-14 lead.

Once again, the teams exchanged points before the Bruins closed out the match on a service ace to claim the point and the match, 25-20.

Conti finished with 11 kills and a .323 hitting mark, making just one error in 31 swings. She also had two aces, eight digs and three blocks. Dodd hit .259 on the way to her 11 kills, and also posted four service aces. Madison Keyes led the effort at the net with a match-best six blocks, while Courtney Smith finished with 18 digs in the back row, tops in the match.

The Golden Eagles get back to friendly surroundings next weekend when they host Morehead State on Friday night and Eastern Kentucky Saturday afternoon.

Power windows rely on complex mechanical procedures to operate smoothly, so don’t be surprised when they need a little repair to stay on track. This is a natural part of owning a modernized car, and knowing who to trust with your power window repair needs in Owasso is an important part of owning a car.

Who Can You Trust?

Power Window RepairGlassWorks Auto Glass has played an important part in Owasso’s glass window repair industry for almost 25 years, and customers demonstrate a fierce loyalty to our services after experiencing the advanced skills and expert knowledge of our technicians. We are proud to announce our technicians share an average of 15 years of experience in the field. This type of expertise can’t be found elsewhere!

Identifying Power Window Problems

Issues with power windows arise from a variety of factors. Given the complex makeup of their mechanical processes, they can become easily damaged or develop problems. Power windows are composed of four major elements:

  • The window motor
  • The window regulator
  • The bracket
  • The control switch

When these components aren’t perfectly in sync, power windows can become jammed and need repair. Although all parts are necessary for proper functioning, the most complicated aspect of power windows is the window regulator.

Understanding the Power Window Regulator

After the window motor activates the window regulator, the regulator is responsible for moving the window up and down while the bracket holds it in place. The regulator is a product of a combined effort from five mechanical elements, which includes:

  • Worm gear. This works together with the spur gears to activate the mechanical plate.
  • Spur gears. Partnering with the worm gear, the spur gears signal the mechanical plate to lower or raise the glass.
  • The arms serve as additional support for the glass window.
  • A mechanical plate. This element is responsible for moving the window up and down.
  • A support bar. Along with the linkages, the support bar keeps the window in the right place.

Whenever any of these elements experiences a problem, the entire operation is brought to a halt and requires professional attention.

Get Your Power Windows Moving Again!

Stop waiting, and contact GlassWorks today. Request service online or call 918-610-9967 and one of our professional power window installers will contact you to get your power windows moving again in no time!

UAE welcomes preliminary findings of UN Report on Human Rights

posted on 09/10/2009: 763 views

New York - The UAE on Thursday welcomed the preliminary findings of a United Nations official on human rights as "constructive" and a "recognition" of the government's proactive initiatives.

The government's response came after Githu Muigai, UN Special Rapporteur on contemporary forms of racism, racial discrimination, xenophobia and related intolerance, made his initial observations following a four-day fact-finding mission to the UAE.

Commending the government's "cooperation and openness", the UN official said: "The recent review of the UAE by the Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination and by the Universal Periodic Review of the Human Rights Council demonstrates that the authorities are willing to find ways and means of addressing human rights challenges faced by the people in the UAE and to ensure compliance with international human rights standards." Reacting to the assessment, UAE Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Dr Anwar Gargash said: "The government welcomes the UN rapporteur's appraisal and views it as a step forward in the process of constructive dialogue towards addressing the challenges that the country faces." The visit of the UN rapporteur, the first of its kind to the UAE, came at the invitation of the government during the country's Universal Periodic Review before the Human Rights Council in Geneva in March.

Muigai, a Kenyan human rights lawyer, travelled to Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Ras Al-Khaimah between 4-8 October to meet officials from various departments and ministries, including interior, justice, labour and foreign affairs, Federal National Council Affairs and the National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking.

The UN official, who described the UAE as "one of the most culturally-diverse countries on earth", also met civil society representatives, lawyers, academics and members of the public during his visit.

As part of the mission, Muigai discussed and made observations on issues related to national identity, bidoons, education, human trafficking, women and human rights of expatriate workers.

"The findings are a recognition of the UAE's efforts to promote and develop human rights along international standards," Dr Gargash said.

In his concluding remarks, the UN official stressed that the task of "enhancing the enjoyment of human rights in the society of the United Arab Emirates must be borne by all parties, including government, citizens, residents and civil society organizations".

Promising continued cooperation, Dr Gargash said: "The government looks forward to further engagement with the Human Rights Council in the pursuit of fulfilling the principles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights." While a more detailed analysis of the UN mission's findings is expected to be presented to the Human Rights Council in June 2010, the UN rapporteur on the sale of children, child prostitution and child pornography is expected to visit the country shortly. – Emirates News Agency, WAM

Magic wishes

’Tis the season for lists and letters

By Carolyn Pogue

The mail-order catalogue lies open beside Michael. He carefully draws lines across the page. Using his best printing, he begins his Christmas wish list. It’s Nov. 9.

Michael’s list will likely change often before Dec. 25; that’s okay. Mine did too. This is the season for lists and letters. I always wrote to Santa, of course. But I wrote an earlier letter first: “Dear Aunt Rita, how are you? I am fine. Well, I guess the Santa Claus parade will come to Toronto soon. I hope I get to see it. Love, Carolyn.” I never believed in beating around the bush.

Dad drove my sister and me to the city Friday night to stay with Aunt Rita. Saturday morning, she gave us the lecture on holding her hands. Before we set out for the parade, she tucked a dime into our mitts, wrapped in a slip of paper bearing her address and phone number, and reminded us that “policemen are our friends.” We then rode a magical vehicle called a streetcar.

Later we stood mesmerized by Eaton’s and Simpson’s store windows as mechanical toys skated round, and Santa’s elves hammered and stitched what we believed all good children would receive Christmas morning. And there was more. We rode escalators, as amazing as flying carpets to us, to the toy floor where electric trains circled mountains, chugged over sparkling rivers and into miniature towns. Eventually, we saw the great man himself, flanked by an elf and Punkinhead (a cuddly brown bear who assists Santa). The afternoon, as if it needed anything more, ended with fresh baked bread and Aunt Rita’s homemade strawberry jam.

My childhood Santa letters were typical. But a story I read as a young adult about Santa letters was not. I’ve since lost the book, A Christmas Story, but every year recall it: There was once a Jewish boy who felt left out each year while his Christian friends celebrated Advent and Christmas. When he grew up, he changed things. While still honouring his Jewish tradition, he put up a Christmas tree and bought himself a Santa suit. Aided and abetted by his wife, he went to the post office every year to find a dozen or so letters from kids in need. He selected the ones that asked for things like “a blanket for my mom,” then set about collecting all kinds of additional gifts.

He made his deliveries Christmas Eve. He did it until he was too old to heft his sack. Then, at the urging of his children, he wrote his story.

Over all the years of deliveries, one visit stood out. He’d given each family member a gift. A visiting neighbour girl stood shyly in the corner. Because he always carried extra gifts, he simply reached into his sack and offered the girl a doll. She shook her head and whispered, “I can’t. I’m Jewish.” He whispered back, “That’s okay. So am I.”

My Christmas letters aren’t to Santa anymore; they’re to newspapers. Please celebrate the season of peace with gifts of peace. Please do not give violent toys and games to children you love.

Like Michael, I use catalogues for my lists. This year, they are from UNICEF and Gifts with Vision. Protecting at-risk children and buying chickens and school kits for people I’ll never meet gives me a terrific amount of joy. And that’s what I believe lists and letters are about.

Another Country
Journeying toward the Cherokee Mountains

Christopher Camuto

An acclaimed writer discovers the mythic landscape of the Cherokee and the red wolf

"Another Country’s purpose is to reintroduce history and to undo it, to recover wildness in the Appalachians, in the red wolf, and in the Cherokee. Christopher Camuto writes with the clear-sightedness and imaginative reach—both inward and outward—of a poet."
—Verlyn Klinkenborg, Audubon

"Not since Barry Lopez welded landscape and imagination together in Arctic Dreams has a writer so ambitiously attempted to elevate local culture and landscape to universal understanding and insight."

"Camuto’s highly engaging personal reflection on the reintroduction of the red wolf to Great Smoky Mountains National Park creeps up on you like Canis rufus itself, with stealth and cunning. Another Country is a deep regret over missed opportunities and a small measure of satisfaction in this effort at redress."
New York Times Book Review

"Another Country is the canon and the standard by which all other nature books should be gauged."
Bloomsbury Review

"Camuto eloquently interwines the old growth in Great Smokey Mountains National Park, which is in North Carolina and Tennessee, with concerns about ecology, Cherokee mythology and a program to restore the red wolf."
New York Times

More / Hide

The southern Appalachians encompass one of the most beautiful, biologically diverse, and historically important regions of North America. In the widely acclaimed Another Country: Journeying toward the Cherokee Mountains, Christopher Camuto describes the tragic collision of natural and cultural history embedded in the region. In the spirit of Thoreau’s Walking, Camuto explores the Appalachian summit country of the Great Smoky Mountains—the historical home of the Cherokee—searching for access to the nature, history, and spirit of a magnificent, if diminished, landscape.

As the author takes the reader through old-growth forests and ancient myths, he tells of the attempted restoration of Canis rufus, the controversial red wolf, to Great Smoky Mountains National Park. He details the impact of European occupation, and his meditations on the enduring relevance of Cherokee language, thought, and mythology evoke an appreciation of what were once sacred rivers, forests, and mountains.

Through this attempt “to catch glimpses of the Cherokee Mountains beyond the veil of the southern Appalachians,” Camuto forges a new consciousness about the complex, conflicted past hidden there and leaves us with an important, thought-provoking book about a haunting American region.
