A big insect just walked through the door and whistled.

I got a shock because the insect happened to be my dad. And he didn’t even tell me he was coming. Just walked into the house, opening the door by himself in style.

And my doorbell is a bit googoo. Instead of going “ding dong”, it is actually playing a song. Is something wrong somewhere?

I Can Sing a Rainbow

I was still recovering from my state of gloominess over what happened yesterday that I looked very mad according to my colleague whom I picked up this morning. He dare not even talk to me upon seeing my face. I didn’t know I looked so fierce but I slowly started to perk up a little when I saw a huge rainbow just after the Sunway toll which was still shining right up till I took a left exit further up towards Puchong. I take this as a good sign.

It was very cold in the office because I have forgotten to take the jacket with me for 2 days in a row. And because I was cold, I got hungry very fast which isn’t helping really.

Breakfast: Sponge cake brought by colleague and a glass of milo mixed with Nestum.

Apply lip balm.

Lunch: Oatmeal.

Apply lip balm.

Apply lip balm.

Apply lip balm.

Tea: A glass of Milo mixed with Nestum. Then, someone opened up a packet of Twisties and he shared it with other colleagues, when that packet of Twisties came to me, he said I was only allowed to smell it. Which I did with all my might. Hahahaa

Apply lip balm.

Apply lip balm.

Dinner: Steamed egg with fried onion. Nice!

Dessert: Chocolate Ice Cream. This is a reward to myself for sticking to the no-meat 3 days diet. I think I’m going to extend this myself for a week, until I see the dentist again this Saturday.

I’m thinking of making mashed potatoes but it would take at least 30 minutes because I’m doing this for the first time. If I can get up early tomorrow, I’ll make this for lunch.

And now, please excuse me while I go dice a pear. I’ve not been eating fruits since I got the braces.

Oh, noticed the number of times I apply lip balm? The lips can get exceptionally dry now that I have braces So I got to make sure I drink enough water and that I reapply lip balm to my lips every now and then. When I sleep at night and can’t afford to wake up every hour to apply lip balm, I let Vaseline Lip Therapy to do the job. Tell you, it’s fantastic! It contains petroleum jelly and I applied it the very first time last night. When I woke up this morning, my lips was still full of moisture. My lips also appear thicker now because of the pouting I guess since I need to extend my lips, protude it to cover my mouth.

Oklah, the pear is calling me.

Charter Airline Finds Value in a P&W Fleet Management™ Program

November 6, 2019 | Customers, Maintenance, Passion | 3 min read
Quebec’s largest charter fleet, Chrono Aviation, chose a P&W Fleet Management™ Program to support its operations. Chrono’s Vice President of Maintenance Pierre Piotte tells Airtime why.

Pierre Piotte, Vice President, Maintenance, for the Chrono Aviation, appreciates the advantages of his operating environment. The fleet of charter aircraft that he manages – including seven PT6A-powered Pilatus PC-12s and Beechcraft 1900Ds – doesn’t have to deal with harsh operating conditions like salt water environments or extreme heat.

That leaves him free to focus on the company’s top priorities. A high-end charter airline mainly transporting passengers such as mining and construction workers to and from remote areas of northern Quebec, Chrono Aviation prides itself on safe, reliable service.

“For us, there’s no question that safety comes first. After that, it’s on-time departures and everything else relating to good customer service,” says Pierre.

As he explains, P&W helps make that possible, thanks to both the reliability of the PT6A engine family and the customized support provided by his comprehensive Fleet Management™ Program (FMP™).
The PT6A is an engine with excellent performance. It’s always been a very reliable engine. And when you’re operating an aircraft with a single engine like the PC-12, you need it to be reliable.
Pierre Piotte, Vice President, Maintenance, Chrono Aviation

When Chrono decided to invest in an engine maintenance plan to help simplify fleet operations management, it thought of P&W because of the company’s expertise and the fact that it is based in Quebec.

It also had to make sense from a business perspective. Chrono provided P&W with various parameters relating to their fleet, such as the number of flight hours, which ranges from 1,200 to 1,400 a year (per aircraft). P&W was able to look at the data and use it as the basis for a tailored FMP proposal suited to the airline’s needs.

“When we saw the numbers,” says Pierre, “we were convinced it was the best choice.” Chrono signed a five-year FMP agreement with P&W in 2018.
When you combine the OEM factor and the competitive package that P&W was offering, which was very aggressive compared to what else was available on the market, it was an easy choice for us.
Pierre Piotte, Vice President, Maintenance, Chrono Aviation

The comprehensive Fleet Management Program covers major scheduled maintenance events such as hot section inspections as well as unscheduled engine and accessory maintenance. It also includes digital engine health management services and trend monitoring. The plan also allows the option to extend the time between overhauls.

As part of the FMP, Chrono has a dedicated customer manager, P&W’s Julio Villazon based in Longueuil, Quebec, as well as technical field support when needed.

“He is a valuable resource,” says Pierre of Julio. “We communicate with him regularly and he provides us with a regular FMP report, which covers things like which parts have been replaced.”

The benefits of an FMP are that it makes maintenance and budget planning easier and helps avoid disruptions and maximize aircraft availability – all crucial elements to a charter operator. “We’re able to see what needs to be done in advance and schedule the maintenance at a suitable time,” explains Pierre.
Since we’ve subscribed to FMP, we’ve had a stable maintenance budget. This helps us with internal planning. We know what to expect from one year to the next, which means we can now plan our needs in advance, such as rental engines.
Pierre Piotte, Vice President, Maintenance, Chrono Aviation

Modernizing electric grid and gas infrastructure as a Utility Platform Player

Impact of decentralization trend

The position of power and utility companies as vital players in our nation’s critical infrastructure is firmly entrenched. However, the nature of that role will undoubtedly continue to evolve as a growing trend toward decentralization future necessitates utilities evolving into a platform from which increasingly numerous energy players can integrate new energy products and services.

Investments that help to build a stronger “digital bridge” to customers are essential for companies seeking to expand their role as an integrator and connector—or, what we’re calling a Utility Platform Player. Looking ahead the next few years, a majority of industry leaders tell us they plan to place the lion's share of their investment dollars on improving the distribution management network. Explore other steps your peers are taking to modernize their electric and gas infrastructure.

Facing modernization roadblocks

Diving into a modernized future isn't without its challenges. Conflicting priorities and regulatory hurdles lead the list as the top challenges potentially standing in the way of progress on this front.

Carrying out a five or 10-year infrastructure modernization plan will undoubtedly require gaining consensus on strategy across internal and external stakeholders. It also means that utilities will increasingly need to impart demonstrable and empirical evidence to advocate for the “big bets” they want to pursue. This can mean many things, including verifying the efficacy and safety of emerging technology, demonstrating ROI on new business models, or delivering an informed view on customer preferences and behavior.

Global Ad Spend Still Down, but Showing Signs of Improvement

Global Ad Spend Still Down, but Showing Signs of Improvement

As the global economy begins its turnaround, the global advertising market is showing signs of improvement. According to Nielsen’s Global AdView Pulse, which reports advertising across 27 markets in Asia, North America, Europe and Africa, overall advertising expenditures decreased 6.8 percent for the first half of the year compared to the first half of 2008.

However, the second quarter closed with a more contained decline of 5.8 percent compared to a 7.9 percent decline in the first quarter versus the same periods of the previous year. The Asia Pacific region is driving the improvements, with 6.5 percent advertising expenditure growth in the second quarter, while Europe and North America are still facing some challenges posed by the economic crisis.

Broadcast Mediums Growing in Asia Pacific

All media types have suffered from general cutbacks by advertisers throughout the first half of the year. Magazines and newspapers took the biggest hit losing -18.5% and -7.5%, respectively, with negative growth in all regions. Radio has emerged in many markets as the media type with the most contained percentage decline (-3.1% globally), even registering an increase in Asia Pacific (+3.1%). Television, too, showed a mixed result depending upon the region, with North America (-14.9%) and Europe (-8.0%) showing drops in spend, whilst Asia Pacific showed growth when compared to the first half of 2008.

As with the half year results, Television and Radio are the media types showing the smallest percentage decreases in the second quarter and they are still showing growth in Asia Pacific and losing revenues in both Europe and North America.

“In this economic environment, brands favor broadcast media: TV always being considered as the most reliable media in hard times and radio provides a solid call to action platform,” said Ben van der Werf, Managing Director, Global AdView, The Nielsen Company. “Throughout the remainder of 2009 and beyond, we can expect to see ad spend for broadcast media slowly moving toward better performance – but it’s unlikely print advertising will show any great gains in the near future. Though newspapers show a more contained decline versus the quarter two 2008, driven by a less steep decline in Asia Pacific, magazines seem not to have benefited by the slight improvements of the market. They closed the quarter with a 19.6 percent decrease in ad revenues, which is a larger decline than what was reported in the first quarter of the year.”

Signs of Improvement

The majority of sectors are continuing to reduce their advertising budgets compared to last year but some good performances in the second quarter have led to three macro sectors increasing their ad spends versus the first half of 2008.

“Distribution Channels, FMCG and healthcare are in fact the only industries to have advertised more in the first half of 2009 than they did in the same period last year,” said Van der Werf, “This is in part due to an increase in ad spend for primary products like food, for cheaper alternatives to out of home entertainment, like quick service restaurants, and for ‘do it yourself’ products. This is surely a good sign considering that, of the 3 sectors improving in the half year, only distribution channels were showing clear development in the first quarter.”

Automotive (-21% in the first half) and finance (-17.2%) continue showing the largest percentage decreases in ad spend. But if the financial sector is starting to show positive trends in some countries, automotive sees the largest percentage decline as a result of the declines in all reported territories, except India. Telecommunications reduced its ad spend by 0.6 percent compared to quarter two 2008, which is a much more contained reduction than that of quarter one. The change of trend has been registered, amongst others in China, France, Italy, Spain and USA. As a result, advertisers are also changing their strategies.

“Today there is more attention given to promoting brand value and the environmental theme is becoming more and more relevant in many countries,” said Van der Werf.

Why do you need a professional office cleaning service?

There are many advantages of hiring a commercial cleaning company that provide all the office cleaning services at very affordable costs, and once you experience all the benefits of commercial cleaning, you’ll be wondering why you haven’t hired it sooner.

Just like our home, a workplace also needs to be clean and disinfectant. A neat and clean workplace attracts and impresses customers and It also helps to bring greater productivity from your employees.

If a business/ commercial house fails to provide a workplace that is immaculate and free from all germs causing diseases, it can cause a bad impact on the work environment, the efficiency of employees and also on their health. Here are more benefits of office cleaning.

1. Creates a Healthy Work Environment

Hygienic workplaces avoid pest problems and also ward off dust, germs, and allergens. Regular expert cleaning builds a healthy environment which not only keeps employees healthy but also helps them to do their best work.

2. Saves Your Time on Cleaning

Hiring a commercial cleaning will save a lot of time in your office because your busy office staff doesn’t have time to worry about cleanliness. Additionally, If someone will have a responsibility to keep the place spotless, then the owner and employees can focus on other important things and work.

3. Cleaning Creates a Motivating Office

Surroundings influence our mood, concentration, creativity, and enthusiasm. In a clean work environment, employees will perform their duties effortlessly. It also helps to avoid disturbance during work hours. Additionally, when the employees will be focused on the work, then things will get done more quickly and thoroughly so the business will thrive!

4. Cleaning makes a great impression

Your workspace reflects your overall image, a Clean and well-arranged office can create a great impression on the customer’s mind. The Hygienic environment also influences people or customers to keep you on priority and it can also keep you apart from all the rest.

Thus, in this era, full of competition you need to be careful about how clients perceive you. And a dedicated professional commercial cleaning will make everything checked for you.

5. Saves extra expenses on office cleaning

Their knowledge, methods, and different types of equipment for cleaning can save some extra penny. The way of cleaning, chemical, equipment depends on the item which needs to be cleaned, thus, if a normal person cleans everything with the same methods and chemicals then some of the items can lose their shine and worth and even inappropriate chemicals can cause damage also.

Thus, it becomes important to hire professional commercial cleaning to take care of everything which includes appliances, tiles, glass, decorative items, etc.

"This was very disappointing it is flimsy material and all edges are cut and edger used only, no real seam. Very disappointing. However I found a different style also from your company ordered it and was very happy with that one. "

Queen’s tops first-place Mustangs

Men’s volleyball beats first-place Western and takes Windsor in straight sets at the ARC

Outside hitter Matthew Taylor and libero Alex Oneid dive for the ball during the Gaels’ 3-1 win over Western at the ARC.
Outside hitter Matthew Taylor and libero Alex Oneid dive for the ball during the Gaels’ 3-1 win over Western at the ARC.

The men’s volleyball team closed out their home regular season schedule with authority last weekend, beating the OUA-leading Western Mustangs 3-1 on Friday before a straight-sets victory over the fourth-place Windsor Lancers on Saturday.

The wins leave the Gaels in a tie with the McMaster Marauders for second place in the OUA, two points behind the Mustangs.

Against Western, middle hitter Michael Amoroso led the way for the Gaels with 19 kills. Right-side hitter CIS All-Canadian Joren Zeeman had a big game on Saturday against the Lancers, also tallying 19 kills to go along with 7 service aces and a total of 28 points on the evening.

Zeeman, who turned the tide of the third set, which finished 32-30 for the Tricolour, said he was pleased with his team’s effort, even with many players fighting off illness.

“Overall I think it was a good weekend. We had some players who were sick and we also had players who stepped up and played their roles,” he said.

Zeeman said the Gaels had to adopt different styles of play against their two opponents.

“[Against Western] for sure it was the play of our own middles that helped us pull it out in a more defensive game,” he said. “With the Lancers we were playing more with our passing and offense. Our defence wasn’t quite there [against the Lancers], them as well, so it very much an offensive game.”

Zeeman said playing against the league’s top teams exposed some of the Gaels’ weaknesses.

“It showed a couple of things,” Zeeman said. “We definitely have to work on stopping the other team’s middle, that’s one of our weaknesses right now.”

Head coach Brenda Willis also commented on the depth of the team and how it was crucial in helping to knock off the two top-tier teams.

“We’ve had some sickness in our team, Joren was really sick [against Western], so I couldn’t play him for more than five rallies,” Willis said. “However, Matt Taylor came in and did a nice job taking his place.

“[Saturday], setter Dan Rosenbaum had the same thing and was unable to play for long and I was really proud of Jackson Dakin coming in and finishing the offence off.”

The team now hits the road to finish off their season with games against the seventh-place University of Toronto, the fifth-place University of Guelph and the eighth-place Wilfrid Laurier University in the next two weeks.

Willis said the team needs to finish the season strong.

“We have to get through the midterm hump and the illness,” she said. “Nobody is injured, which is a good thing, it’s just wear and tear and sickness.”

Both Willis and the team have their minds on only one thing moving forward.

“Our goal is another banner,” Willis said. “We’ve been in the OUA final the last four years and we’ve lost the last two, so nobody’s going to be happy not bringing another banner home and making a statement at nationals.”

Queen’s faces the University of Toronto Varsity Blues on Feb. 14 at 2 p.m. in Toronto. They will finish their season on the road next Friday and Saturday in Waterloo facing the Laurier Golden Hawks and the Waterloo Warriors.

Vivian Darkbloom At Pianos This Thursday!

Boston band Vivian Darkbloom will be taking the stage on the LES at Pianos this Thursday, June 25.

For those unfamiliar with Vivian Darkbloom, they're an indie band made up of brainy guys. Founding members Rob Morris (vocals/guitar) and Brian Skerratt (bass/vocals) met at Princeton and are now doing the whole graduate degree thing at MIT and Harvard, respectively. They are joined by Cristiano Castellitto (drums) who's probably a brainy guy too. Anyway, I mention this not as a negative, but because it ties in with their music.

You see, Morris has used his braininess to created this crazy thing called the Wii Guitar. He's mounted a Wii remote onto a guitar and by pressing it's buttons and moving and gesturing with his guitar he's able to produce all kinds of insane sounds. You obviously can't get these sounds by just playing a guitar the old fashioned way. The guitar communicates with a computer running software Morris wrote and viola, you have on your hands, a mad scientist with a wicked cool guitar. Ok, Morris probably isn't mad but, I've always wanted to use that term. You can read a more detailed description of his invention in an article from The Boston Phoenix HERE.

Have a listen to Vivian Darkbloom's new single, "Cold War" from the EP of the same name.
The Wii guitar in action ...

So, if you're in the New York area on Thursday, drop by and check them out. I hear everyone who goes, gets a free "I Love VD" button. Well, look at that, good music, cool inventions and a sense of humor. These are all good things folks!

Mark Webber on track for Red Bull

Car:                       RB8

Laps:                     70 laps

Best time:            1:22.662

Circuit length:    4.655km

Fastest lap:         S. Perez (1:22.094)

Mark Webber returned to the cockpit of Red Bull Racing’s RB8. After set-up work in the morning, the planned longer runs in the afternoon session were interrupted by rain. However, despite the shortened session Mark professed himself happy with his final day’s testing ahead of his home grand prix in Melbourne in two weeks’ time.

“We had a pretty good run today and once again we learned a lot,” he said. “However, I suppose the thing that everyone’s obviously asking about is the changes we made to the car but I have to say the car was not massively different to the one I drove on Thursday. We went through our normal programme, nothing drastic happened, and we just keep working away. It would have been nice to have a few more laps today but then again we didn’t have a race simulation planned, so the rain didn’t really hurt us.

“For me the next stop now is Melbourne and I’m looking forward to that,” he added. “It’s always good to drive out of the pitlane there. Racing’s what we’re all here for and while testing is good, it’s nice to be on track all at the same time, all with the same window of opportunity to deliver – that’s what we love doing. I’m looking forward to that weekend unfolding, and the rest of the races. It’ll be good to get the season going.”

Mark’s Race Engineer, Ciaron Pilbeam added: “We had a new chassis for Mark today with some developments parts on board. The run plan was pretty much the same as yesterday, concentrating on set-up work and short runs in the morning and with longer runs planned for the afternoon.

“Unfortunately, because of the rain we had we didn’t get to complete all of the programme. Some people opted to run in the wet but we chose not to, as for us the track was neither one thing nor the other; not wet enough to gather the data we would have wanted and not dry enough to make it worthwhile running.

Dover Maze Coloring Books

These simple maze books are perfect for young kids. The mazes are themed, and the drawings surrounding the mazes are fun and not incredibly detailed, which makes them perfect for pre-school coloring. The A-B-C Mazes book differs from the others in that it is a small format book (4" x 5.75") so the mazes are smaller and the pictures not as easy to color. It gives about two mazes for each letter of the alphabet and includes that letter in the directions for doing the maze. For example, "Help the Clown get to his Car." This book has 64 pages. The Alphabet Mazes book is standard size and includes one maze for each letter where the maze is actually in an object beginning with the featured letter. This book has 30 pages. The Zoo Animals book includes 30 mazes with cute animals trying to reach their destinations and has 32 pages. Answers are included for each book. With the simple mazes and fun-to-color pictures, these books will be a hit with young kids. ~ Rachel

The checklist for Local SEO!

Have you ever wondered why do every website or business is listed locally? Have you ever thought about it?
To this, I would like to ask you another question. Whenever you want to have a pizza or want to go to a chinese restaurant, what do you do?
The first thing you do is ‘Google’. You immediately search ‘best chinese restaurants in the city’ or ‘best pizza corner’.
This means local search is very helpful to any business. Hence, everyone needs local.

For any business, the main goal is to increase their online visibility and also increase the conversion rate.
So, here are some checklists which will definitely boost your website’s ranking if followed properly:

  1. Create and optimize Google+ local business page.
    Start with creating a Google+ local business page. An essential tool which helps you manage your online business presence. Register yourself on Google My business and create your business and local pages. There might be a chance that your business already has a page, you can definitely claim it as your own. But for this, you need to go through a verification process.
  2. Optimize your website for local search.
    The next important step is to optimize your website for local search. Consider on page and off page factors and update your website accordingly. Use correct title tags, meta descriptions, Page titles, headings, optimising your webpage for unique content for not more than two keywords for a page etc. Put in the essential information like local number, local address etc. Your domain name should include information mentioning about your business locality, your business details and what type of business is it.
  3. Use Schema markup for local business
    Using schema markup tags for your local business will help the crawlers to know about your webpage’s structured data.
    Schema markup is a declaration of content on a webpage, related to an entity that defines its properties and details about the entity. The entity can be an article, product or a video. A detailed list of possible schema markup can be found on schema.org.
    The Schema markups helps the search engines to distinguish between places, organisations, reviews, events, people etc. Definitely a great tool to promote your reviews.
  4. Mark up on NAP and Map
    Mark your site’s contact page. Your information should be visible from all pages of your website. The page should contain name, address, and phone number of your website. Also, add a Google map of your business in the ‘contact-us’ page. This will definitely help the users to easily reach out to you.
  5. Get registered on local listings and directories
    Register/list your website on local directories. It is a great way by which people can reach out to you. Registering on local listings with your detailed information about your website, business, your address and contact details, builds local authority as you get cited with your NAP details.
    Best examples for this can be, if you have a restaurant and you want to make sure that it should be known to people, get your business on Yelp
    Do not forget to add your business or location image..
  6. Build Citations
    Get your business cited wherever possible. Citations are mentions about your business on some other websites. It can be in the form of reviews, product/service offering, or your location or phone number of the business. Make sure your information is true and complete.
  7. Build links from local websites
    One of the most important practice of SEO is link building. When you do link building, make sure it is done keeping in mind the geographical location and also targeting relevant keywords to generate backlinks. Local websites will give you much better links as they are geographically targeted.
  8. Optimize your images
    Do not miss out on optimizing your images. A very important thing to do for SEO. Search Engines stumble upon your images while crawling the websites. Always describe your image file, use alt text to improve the readability of the image etc.
  9. Register yourself with Yahoo and Bing.
    It’s equally important to be at Yahoo and Bing local listings. This will expand the visibility of your business even more to your potential customers.
  10. Mobile Optimization
    Local SEO is not only limited to search engines, it goes hand in hand and should be optimized for mobile too. Mobile these days being so user friendly, people rely more while making their searches. If a website is not mobile friendly, surely you are missing out something really important.
    Just make sure your website is well optimised for Mobiles.
  11. Generate Online Reviews
    In the market, the main game is about your reviews. Reviews either make you or break you. Just be sure you know how to handle criticism and how to appreciate a positive feedback. The more famous you are, better it is for your business.
  12. Build Local Social Media following
    One of the great ways to attract traffic is through social media. Make profiles on all social networking sites with your business name, address and phone number. The more online presence you have, the better it is for you.
    Social signals gives a helping hand to provide you with link juice.

Well, In a nutshell, Local Seo is very important for every business. To get maximum traffic on your website and to get high conversion rate, it is important to get listed locally.
Do it the right way and you are done!

When Beauty is Not Enough to Save the World: A Short History of the Scandinavian Design Students' Organisation 1966-1969

My dissertation examines how and why the notion of design changed during the late 1960s and early 1970s in Finland and Sweden by exploring the Scandinavian Design Students’ Organisation (SDO) and their demands for a better design education and consciousness of the designer’s social and moral responsibilities. This movement, neglected in previous scholarship, was born as a reaction against Scandinavian design culture riding on the success it had gained the previous decade when exclusive handcrafted objects were touring the Western world and winning prizes in international exhibitions. Design education still relied heavily on the notion of a designer as an artist and the produced objects as tokens of individual expression. Many design students felt that this notion failed to address the needs of a rapidly changing and increasingly dysfunctional city environment, which had become an important subject of wide debates reaching the design world.

The Scandinavian design student movement was strongly shaped by ideals of egalitarianism and international solidarity, while it also questioned the real extent of prosperity created by the welfare state. By organising state-funded symposia, producing ambitious publications, engaging with questions relating to design education, and collaborating with other disciplines such as engineering, psychology and ergonomics, the students strove to develop design towards a more collaborative, academic and research-based discipline able to offer tangible solution to real-life problems, such as poor living conditions, social injustice and environmental pollution.

Despite its short life, SDO left a permanent mark in Finnish and Swedish design cultures. By the time the organisation dissolved in 1969, the understanding of design had widened to include ‘anonymous’ industrial design, social and environmental design, design research and ergonomic design. Furthermore, the responsibility of a designer in creating a more socially just and sustainable world was recognized widely. Vocational design schools were moving towards gaining university status, and students had a greater role in shaping their own education.

"Triumvirate = the combined power of a group of three in creative collaboration.

CARTER TUTTI VOID (Chris Carter, Cosey Fanni Tutti and Nik Void) have an-nounced their third and final studio album containing all new studio recordings, Triumvirate brings Chris Carter, Cosey Fanni Tutti and Nik Void’s collaborative partnership as Carter Tutti Void to a conclusion.

The trio first came together as a collective for a live performance, in-vited by Mute for the Short Circuit Festival in 2011 and released their acclaimed debut, the live album Transverse the following year. Carter Tutti Void went on to release f(x) (Industrial Records, 2015), their first stu-dio recording and performed a handful of selected shows, culminating in their final live performance in Hull, part of a series of events for Hull City of Culture 2017 centred around the COUM Transmissions retrospective at Humber Street Gallery.

For some time Carter, Tutti and Void have been awaiting an opportunity when all three artists were able to gather at Carter and Tutti’s Studio47 in Norfolk, where the album was recorded, produced and mastered. Triumvirate was ap-proached with the improvisational spirit of previous Carter Tutti Void albums. The rhythms, created by Chris Carter, formed the foundation and starting point from which the process began of melding the live instrumentation of Cosey Fanni Tutti and Nik Void’s searing guitars, vocals, effects and the arsenal of sounds each had amassed from a variety of sources, some sounds manipulated to extremes, all fed into the mix. Tying the album together is the power of three, and a free open approach to sound shared by the trio.

Carter Tutti Void are Chris Carter, Cosey Fanni Tutti (Chris & Cosey / Throbbing Gristle) and Nik Void (Factory Floor / NVPR). Chris Carter recently released his first solo album in 17 years, Chris Carter’s Chemistry Lessons Vol. 1 (Mute, 2018) and Cosey Fanni Tutti’s TUTTI, her first album since 1982, came out ear-lier this year on Conspiracy International (home of Chris and Cosey since 1982). Nik Void is currently working on her debut solo album.

Letter from the Editor: The circular economy solution to ocean plastics pollution

Letter from the Editor: The circular economy solution to ocean plastics pollution

Breaking the Plastic Wave is a newly released study which supports the premise that if we fail to take serious action immediately by creating a viable circular economy for plastics, by 2040 the volume of used plastic entering the ocean on a yearly basis will be 29 metric tonnes, nearly triple the amount recorded in 2016. The new report also confirms that total ocean plastic stocks, without changes made, will quadruple - reaching over 600 metric tonnes.

According to UK-based Ellen MacArthur Foundation (EMF),one of the report's key contributors (along with Common Seas and the Universities of Oxford and Leeds) findings of the new study are in line with their 2016 analysis which showed there could be more plastic than fish in the ocean by 2050.

"We need to raise our level of ambition and match it with bold and urgent action to accelerate the transition to a circular economy for plastics," said Dame Ellen MacArthur, founder of EMF. She says the report confirms that the vision of a circular economy for plastic is the only way to address plastic waste and pollution at the source, and emphasizes that this is a vision that already unites over 850 organizations around the world, through the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment and the Plastics Pact network.

Over the last several years, according to MacArthur, there has been some positive action, including the reduction in total volume of virgin plastics entering the global economy, innovation in the way businesses operate, and billions of dollars committed to increase the use of recycled plastic around the world.

However, she emphasizes, we need to do much, much more.

"This new Breaking the Plastic Wave study shows that even if we do everything we physically can, with every technology deployed that we understand today, we can only reduce the flow of plastic packaging into the ocean by 80 percent by 2040."

She says that while millions of dollars are being spent on cleaning up beaches, rivers and streets - and on recycling - it is just not enough. "All of the effort will be in vain if we continue to put plastic packaging with no value into the economy.

"We need to tackle this flood at source, we need to go to the beginning of the system so that every piece of plastic that is manufactured has a value," she says. "We need to eliminate all the plastic we don't need. We need to innovate for the plastic we do need, making sure it is reusable, recyclable and compostable. And importantly, we need to circulate everything we produce, be that plastic or a biological component which replaces it."

Seems like a great plan. Most of our provincial recycling associations in Canada, along with a range of environmental associations, businesses and municipalities are now signed up and committed to the New Plastics Economy. Let's hope everyone, including the federal government of Canada, soon also fully understands the urgency of the need for immediate action, for change in the way packaging is made, and for the establishment of a new circular economy for plastics.

As MacArthur puts it, the goal is simple: let's keep recycled plastic in the economy and out of the ocean. Visit for more information about the initiative or to sign on with a commitment.

No time to waste.

Data is an essential business asset. It may have no physical form, but its value is far greater than any hardware on which it might be hosted. The problem for many organisations is that while they may hold a lot of data – often, far more than they realise – it is in a far from optimal condition. It may be incomplete, lack consistency, and be bloated through the inclusion of duplicate records. We’ve created a guide with six steps that can help you get your thoughts in order before putting in place a new data strategy. Our six step process for implementing and maintaining good data hygiene is designed to help businesses reduce costs, maximise revenues and gain a more effective overview of their live operations.

Red Olive has helped many organisations, including utilities, charities and multinational publishing corporations to optimise their data. In doing so, we have increased the data’s intrinsic value, and its suitability as a tool for making business decisions. Our clients have reduced their ongoing costs, maximised profits, and in many cases contributed to the betterment of society as a whole.

The advice in this guide will help CTOs, CDOs and project managers to better understand how to structure their data, so it can be used to make informed business decisions. You can download the guide here or feel free to contact us at and we can run through your challenges and help get you sorted.
