Green Haircare: Is It Just a Trend?
The keyword that I look for in any new haircare product is "without". That is without dyes, without aromas and parabens (which are added to some products to preserve them better) and obviously, without paraffin and without sulphate (foaming agents), which oftentimes are not really washing your hair, but instead drying and damaging it. And last but certainly not least on my list of no-no's are silicones and petroleum oils. Can I still see effective results and beautiful locks using products that do not contain these ingredients? In my own experience, the answer is yes.
I can't hide that I have no loyalty to any one particular hairdresser. For work reasons, and for my innate sense of curiosity, I tend to pick different hair salons; one who cuts, one who colors and even one salon that I know just has the best selection of products to shop. (If you ever happen to be in Milan, an address to take note of is Via Vigevano, in the Naviglio area, where they just inaugurated the new Nashi salon). This means that in my shower at any given time you can find 10 different products, between shampoo, conditioner, hair masks, and they are all, for the most part, green.
Why should you go green? What are the advantages? Research by Harris Poll shows that about 59% of women 35 and over believe buying all-natural products is important, while an even larger percentage – about 73% of millennials – look for products that are increasingly natural and free from unnecessary substances. This is the whole point of my "without" search.
It is easy to say, "I bought a natural shampoo." It is a slippery slope to actually define something as natural because there are ingredients that technically are natural (meaning coming from the earth), but can damage our strands – the best example petroleum jelly. The solution? Always read the list of ingredients very carefully, and if you are having any doubts research on specific databases like EWG.
And you may find yourself attracted to a product that touts "green" ingredients, but does that mean it works? On one hand, we want to be sure we are using products that are not damaging to our bodies or the environment, but on the other hand we want to be certain that product contains ingredients that are still effective. Companies, even the big corporations, understand this market demand perfectly and are moving their research towards formulas with the most natural elements possible. Garnier's Fructis line, for example, is free from sulphates and parabens and characterized by a high concentration of active ingredients naturally present in fruit, while Kèrastase created Aura Botanica with cold extracts of Argan and coconut oil. The colossal L'Oreal also has the line Botanical Fresh Care (one of my favorites) that not only offers high performance formulas without silicone, parabens or dyes, but they have decided to use an eco-sustainable bottler for a 360 degree approach to the environmental consciousness.
From big corporations to smaller indie brands, there us no shortage of options on the market if you're looking to delve into green haircare. Here is our list of some products that we tried for you!
Formulated with rare and sustainable ingredients, like Omega 9, this shampoo leaves your hair soft and shiny with a beautiful aroma.
This has a base of yellow melon from Paceco (typical from Trapani in Sicily) and leaves you with long-lasting hydration.

Marla's Story
MHD Philosophy
MARLA HENDERSON DESIGN
Allaire Studios was built in a stunning 1928 home on an 85-acre estate in the Catskill Mountains, two hours north of NYC. The scale was enormous. The client, a musician himself, owns one of the largest musical instrument collections in the world, and wanted to turn his home into a recording studio.
At its peak, Allaire Studios was considered the top destination recording studio in the world, attracting musicians like David Bowie, My Morning Jacket, The Strokes and Norah Jones, who recorded her Grammy winning album there and whose song, Come Away With Me, was inspired by the location. The studio had a dining hall that seated a hundred, an indoor basketball court, walk-in fireplaces and beautiful antique furniture. Being there felt like stepping back in time.

On Thursday, October 25 Parkdale School will be having our first Parent/Teacher Conferences of this school year. Even though we have not sent out a Report Card, we feel it is important to speak with the most important adults in our student's lives, their parents or guardians.
As teachers, we are starting to get a sense of your students strengths and abilities, and how we can best provide for them. We would like to get your input and discuss with you, what we think best encourages your student. Program plans, behavioral needs, and educational direction can be discussed, but more importantly, we get to know more about your student(s).
Starting at 4:00 to 8:00 pm on Thursday, October 25 teaching staff will be available to meet you and discuss your student(s) and the best way for all of us to create a positive learning environment for all involved. Talk to your student(s) about who their teachers are, and see if they have any questions, or if the discussion leads to any questions of your own. Administration and Support Services will be present if you have any more questions about Parkdale and the community we try to create.
We would like to see you during this evening event. We are hoping to see as many parents and key adults in our student's lives. If you are unable to attend, please feel free to contact your child's teacher by calling the school at 780-352-4594.

The Ministry of Defense in a statement said the offensive has been announced by the Quetta Shura, Taliban's leadership council, and that by making such an announcement, the group wants to give morale to its fighters after "facing many defeats".
Earlier in the day, a local security official said, as cited by Khaama Press that the Afghan security forces killed nine members of the Taliban movement in the southern Afghan province of Kandahar late on Friday after the militants tried to overrun a security checkpoint. During talks with United States, the removal of Taliban's leaders name from the UNSC black list was one of the Taliban major demands. The call for more fighting will not advance peace efforts.
For its part, the rebel group said its attack killed or injured scores of Afghan forces and eliminated a major security base in the area.
Peace talks with the Taliban kicked off past year, as US President Donald Trump vowed to reduce the number of US troops in Afghanistan.
The Afghan government mounted its own offensive, dubbed Khalid, in March.
However, after repeated rounds of negotiations between U.S. and Taleban representatives over recent months, the new offensive underlined how far Afghanistan remains from peace more than 17 years after US-backed forces drove the Taleban from power in 2001.
The Presidential Palace, also known as ARG, in a statement on Saturday condemned the Taliban's announcement of the so-called spring offense and said it is an evident sign of the will of the group to continue the "illegitimate" war in Afghanistan. But they were "pushed back and defeated" by security forces, said the government in a statement. "The Afghan and world religious scholars have clearly said that the war in Afghanistan has no religious legitimacy and its continuance has no legitimate judgment".
It is expected that the Taliban, politicians and representatives of the Afghan government will be in Doha from April. 19 to 21, in what would be the first meeting between representatives of the government and the insurgents since the U.S. and the Taliban began peace talks a year ago.

Flackwell Heath Tournament, Monday 30th May 2011
11/06/2011 at 1:31 pm | Posted in Match Reports, Under 8s | Leave a comment
This was our first visit to a tournament at Flackwell Heath; they are good friends of ours, playing in the same league division, a very strong club and our "buddies" next year when we will field a third team each fixture weekend along with one of their teams.
Squad:
Aaron, Charles, Daniel, Jude, Lucas, Luke, Robert, Toby
We were in a strong 6 team league, including the hosts. Unfortunately the weather was poor; the first matches started in a steady drizzle and that continued for the duration of the afternoon. However, despite this, the squad were focussed and determined and played good football throughout. We were rewarded with some good goals and some good results.
First up were Marlow United and a game which we dominated territorially ended all square; Charles scoring with a strong shot to equalise their equally fine opener. Despite having the majority of the posession, Marlow almost won it with a cross shot just flying wide of the far post.
Widmer End were next; we'd played them at previous tournaments and won relatively easily. However, today was different and needed Luke's good finish to take the spoils.
Bourne End play in a league below us so we weren't familiar with them but they proved to be strong opponents. Playing a more direct game with 2-3 players left up front ready for the long ball out of defence, they attacked dangerously as several time we found their players in behind our defence and only a great save by Aaron saved the draw; Daniel scoring our only goal.
Our fourth match was against Flackwell Heath who have recently added players to make them the strongest side in South Bucks. They had won their first 4 matches by a minimum of 3-0 and so presented the strongest opposition. We asked the players to defend strongly and attack in numbers when we won the ball and that is exactly what we did backed up by good goalkeeping by Daniel. Flackwell's play was, as usual, neat passing with attacking intent but we defended well; Jude was very disciplined as a sole defender with Toby and Charles helping him out with timely tackles and holding their positions very well. Luke and Aaron (then Lucas) tried to move the ball forward quickly when we won possession and Robert, despite a lack of opportunity, stuck to his task really well, learning that sometimes as a striker your effort and good movement
doesn't always result in many chances. The game was decided by an excellent corner which Daniel almost saved but couldn't quite prevent the ball crossing the line; a very creditable result against very strong opposition.
Finally, we played Downley Dynamoes against whom we had struggled in the league. However, despite using rolling subs throughout the game, we kept our shape and scored 3 good goals, holding out under late pressure to win. Jude scored twice, both excellent finishes, with Luke adding the third.. This was just reward for his sterling defensive work earlier in the day.
Aaron worked as hard as I've seen him this season, constantly tracking up and back when in midfield and holding his position very well in his game in defence. Added to this, was his exceptional save onto the cross bar against Bourne End.
Charles was as busy as ever; tricky twists and turns in tight spots are his speciality, often coming away with the ball just when I think he's about to lose posession. He added a fine strike for the goal in the first match and tackled strongly when asked to play in defence.
Daniel played 2 games in goal, having no chance with the goals scored by Marlow and Flackwell Heath. When in defence he was our most disciplined player.
Lucas played in three different positions and was determined in all three. Defensively solid in the tackle and plucky in midfield, he also had a spell up front and was very unlucky when a snap shot from a poor defensive clearance was ruled not to have crossed the line.
Luke had games in defence and midfield and as usual got past players with ease when attacking in wide positions. One or two crosses just eluded his colleagues and two goals completed a fine day.
Robert also played all over the pitch. Up front against Flackwell Heath must have been a little frustrating as we had few attacking opportunities but he stuck to his task well and his sense of when to come out of goal stood him in good stead in the final game against Downley as he successfully closed out their only chances. In between, he was effective in the tackle in midfield.
Toby is so strong in midfield, winning most of his tackles and was unlucky not to score with several last ditch challenges preventing a clear goal scoring opportunity.
Jude played a game in goal, keeping a clean sheet and two games in defence. The game against Flackwell Heath being his best as he followed his instructions to the letter maintaining his defensive watch throughout. The final game saw him playing up front and his two goals proved what a versatile player he is.
Goals: Luke (2); Jude (2); Charles and Daniel

Q: Можно ли узнать, кто из пользователей локальной сети лазил в ту или иную папку с общим доступом? Предположим в локальной сети есть общедоступный сервер. На этот сервер админ залил папку с книгами, папку с фильмами, папку с компроматом и папку с порнографией. В первом приближении сервер выглядит как простой компьютер с windows, папки помещены в общий доступ стандартными средствами windows, при передачи данных используется обычный smb протокол.
Вопросы: есть ли возможность узнать (и как?) кто из юзеров в какую папку лазил (что скопировал, что добавил, что удалил и во сколько)? Можно ли используя протокол ftp или другие сетевые протоколы прожурналировать события входа в папки и копирования данных?

In an effort to preserve local history that otherwise might end up in the landfills, Margaret Axford, curator of the Pioneer Museum and Archives in Cloyne, gave a presentation titled "History in a Box", at the Cloyne & District Historical Society's meeting on January 19.
Axford's basic message was: don't give that old dusty attic shoe box the old heave-ho; it deserves a second look. Even if history is not your personal cup of tea, then passing the box on to a member of a historical society or a local museum makes much better sense than simply tossing it out.
Axford opened up one such box that came her way over a year ago via one local resident who had the wherewithal to know that the artifacts might be of interest to members of the Cloyne and District Society (CDHS).
At the meeting, Axford unveiled the contents of the box, and step by step pieced together what she found. The box contained over 150 artifacts that included numerous photographs, news clippings magazines, calendars and other documents, which tell a somewhat spotty story of one Dylan Francis, who came from Culloden, ON but also spent time in North Frontenac. An RCAF photo shows that Francis joined the Royal Canadian Air Force at some point as a young man and likely trained near Windsor Mills, Quebec, since photos found in the box showing men fixing airplanes were printed at a pharmacy in that town. The box also contained numerous clippings from the Toronto Star telling of the fates of various WW2 soldiers, likely Dylan's buddies.
We find out that Dylan played hockey in Toronto at Humberside Collegiate from another photo and that he likely married Marjorie Francis. There were numerous old photos circa the 1880s or 1890s of people that may have been his grandparents and one especially delightful photo of two young boys.
Axford spoke about the fun and excitement she feels delving into these artifacts. "It is like trying to solve a puzzle and what we are always trying to do is find out more about the local history in the area here." She said that one Aha! moment came to her when she discovered a card from the Culloden Literary Society dated January 31, 1905, which led her to the understanding that Dylan Francis was likely the son of Viola Dylan and George Francis. A claims map of Denbigh dated 1955 places Dylan Francis in the local area though it remains unclear why that was or in what capacity he spent time here. This discovery was made thanks to a number of envelopes and Legion magazines that were mailed to Francis in the 1970s to RR2 Cloyne.
Axford said she might try to contact other historical societies in south western Ontario to see if anyone there might be interested in these artifacts. She said that if not, they will likely remain as a collection at the Pioneer Museum.
Anyone who has such a box but holds no use for it can contact their local historical society.


When we think of air pollution, we usually think of the air outdoors, but the EPA ranks indoor air quality as a top 5 environmental risk to the population's health. Not only are we spending more time inside, but our homes are becoming more energy efficient and air tight which keeps pollutants inside the home. Before you can take on the things negatively impacting your indoor air, you must first identify what these things are.
Your home's humidity is a Goldilocks situation – you don't want to have too much humidity because that can aid in the growth of mold, mildew and bacteria. If your air is too dry it may leave you with respiratory problems and increases the likelihood of getting a cold or flu due to damage to your mucous membranes. Both low and high humidity can damage your furniture and woodwork. Luckily, with the assistance of humidifiers and dehumidifiers, homeowners are able to regulate the humidity levels of their home and keep it at that perfect humidity level.
The bedroom is where a lot of allergens are in your house, with the most common indoor allergen, dust mites. Dust mite droppings are the one of the biggest causes of allergy and asthma symptoms. If you have pets, you'll likely deal with pet dander which could also be aggravating your allergies. Keep your bedroom dust-free utilizing a vacuum with a HEPA filter and wash your bedding frequently. If your symptoms go on, it might be time to think about a whole-home air filtration system. One of our experts can walk you through the possibilities and find the system that would work best for you.
The smell of yesterday's dinner shouldn't still be lingering in the house the following night. While air fresheners could mask the problem, the chemicals they produce may create other issues. The same can be said about household cleaners. That fresh, clean smell can cause headaches and eye, throat and lung irritation. They also pose a threat to children and elderly people with respiratory issues. Again, a Lennox® whole-home filtration system could be just what your home needs.
The air you breathe should be factoring in to your health and comfort and we want to help make sure it does. We know you're doing all you can do to keep your home comfortable. Let us provide you with our knowledge. If you have any questions for us or would like an in-home air assessment give us a call at 850-682-5509.

This is the second custom masterpiece we've created for our friend, Rep. Ben Sherrer. What you see here is a mixed-media creation encased by a massive shadow box. The piece features traditional Oklahoma symbols that we designed – buffalo, flycatcher, raccoon, sea turtle… you know!
A local therapy organization called Today's Therapy Solutions asked us to create an entire collection to furnish their brand new office! This project was our largest to date and a total blast to work on. We feel so fortunate to have been presented with such an awesome opportunity to partner with our friends at TTS. Check out this video that features just a few of the masterpieces that are now hanging in their office!
This masterpiece was commissioned by our friend, Stacy Johnson. We met Stacy way back when we did a TV interview for a local channel called KSBI 52. She asked us create a masterpiece that reminded us of America. This creation was executed by Ashley and now hangs in Stacy's office at the Oklahoma State Capitol building. We are so excited about it!
This custom masterpiece, Famous Cat Memories, was commissioned by cat-loving craft, fashion, and photography extraordinaire, Amy Blose. Amy's a very dear friend of ours and when she asked us to create a masterpiece that's all about cats, we were thrilled! We ended up creating this fantastic cat creation out of water colors, pastels, acrylic paint, and sticky notes. It now resides in her beautiful home in Houston, TX.
This is the first custom masterpiece we created for our friend, Rep. Ben Sherrer. He asked us to create a piece for his office and the only guideline was that it needed to be about Oklahoma. Each of those little squares is a traditional Oklahoma symbol and background was created using The Daily Oklahoman, our local newspaper. This piece was executed by David and now hangs at the Oklahoma State Capitol building. We are so honored by this opportunity!
This was our very first commissioned project! Our friends at the Oklahoma Autism Network asked us to create several pieces to display in their office, the Lee Mitchener Tolbert Center for Developmental Disabilities. These were some of the first masterpieces we ever created!

The 'Bird Box' Trailer Shows Sandra Bullock In A Way You've Never Seen Her Before
By Ani Bundel
Sandra Bullock hit her comeback stride this past summer with the all-female Ocean's 8, starring alongside Cate Blanchett and Sarah Paulson. Now, she and Paulson re-team up for a new post-apocalyptic film with the strange title of Bird Box. The film, released by Netflix, will be played as an awards season contender with a debut next month at the AFI Fest in Hollywood. But what exactly is the film about? The Bird Box trailer, released this week, shows a world that's undergone a terrible transformation.
Based on the debut novel of Josh Malerman by the same name, Bird Box takes place in three timelines: A not so distant future, a year or so prior, and five years earlier at the start of "The Problem." Sandra Bullock plays the novel's star and main point-of-view character, Malorie. Sarah Paulson plays her sister, Shannon.
"The Problem," as it is termed, is a slow-rolling disease spreading first in Canada and then slowly southward into the U.S. population. People are abruptly going mad for seemingly no reason, other than the victims insist they saw "something." Visions? Creatures? No one is really sure, but whatever it is, it drives people to barricade themselves in their houses, cover the windows and try not to look at anything too long.
Netflix on YouTube
Malerman's novel was initially optioned by Universal back in 2013 before the book's release. Though directors and producers were attached, the project went nowhere until 2017, when Netflix purchased the rights and announced Sandra Bullock would star along with John Malkovich, whose role has not been revealed. David Dastmalchian rounds out the cast as "The Whistling Maurader," the story's main villain.
Here's the Netflix-supplied synopsis of the film:
When a mysterious force decimates the world's population, only one thing is certain: if you see it, you take your life. Facing the unknown, Malorie finds love, hope and a new beginning only for it to unravel. Now she must flee with her two children down a treacherous river to the one place left that may offer sanctuary. But to survive, they'll have to undertake the perilous two-day journey blindfolded. Academy Award® winner Sandra Bullock leads an all-star cast that includes Trevante Rhodes, with Sarah Paulson, and John Malkovich in BIRD BOX, a compelling new thriller from Academy Award® winner Susanne Bier.
Already, critics are comparing it to another post-apocalyptic horror film from earlier this year, A Quiet Place, where one could not make sounds, lest it alert creatures to attack you. This is also a sensory-deprivation horror film, but kicking it up a notch from sound to sight.
Bird Box will premiere at the AFI Fest on Nov. 12, 2018. It joins two other Netflix titles at AFI this year, the Coen Brothers' newest film The Ballad of Buster Scruggs and the episodic series The Kominsky Method, starring Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin.
Bird Box goes into wide release at Christmas time, premiering in theaters and streaming on Dec. 21, 2018.

On 23rd November the House of Lords will hear the committee stage of the Divorce (Financial Provision) Bill.
The law regarding financial provision on Divorce remains subject to a statute which is now 45 years old (Matrimonial Causes Act 1973). Some might say therefore that the law is somewhat outdated.
The Bill seeks to bring the legislation into line with more modern approaches to family law and 21st century relationships with reference to issues such as nuptial agreements (pre and post) and pre-acquired assets.
The Bill proposes that financial orders will be limited to matrimonial property which was acquired during the marriage; otherwise than by gift, inheritance or succession from a third party; and does not represent property acquired before the marriage.
The Bill goes further to describe what will then determine such matrimonial property and attempts to make the law clearer as to what can be deemed to be matrimonial and non-matrimonial property. Interestingly, the Bill appears to address developing issues in case law such as special contributions and personal skill and efforts of one party.
Prevailing case law suggests that whilst still not statutorily binding, providing that the proper processes are followed then nuptial agreements will be binding on the parties. The law is still developing with every case and so the Bill goes further to define in what circumstances an agreement will be binding; the relevant subsections largely following the decision in the landmark case of Radmacher v Granatino  UKSC 42.
The Bill refers specifically to the "net value" of the matrimonial property being shared fairly between the parties. It goes further than the current legislation by also referring to the deduction of any debts incurred before the marriage relating to matrimonial property or during the marriage.
Similar to the provision regarding matrimonial and non-matrimonial property, this particular provision also makes direct reference to case law principles such as the dissipation of any matrimonial property.
Of further interest is the provision for an assessment of needs of any children of the family under 21 which is an extension from 18; no doubt recognition of modern families where children are reliant upon their parents for longer.
Plenty of cases have hit the news in recent years remarking on the 'meal ticket for life' nature of spousal maintenance. The Bill seeks to more clearly define in what circumstances spousal maintenance will be ordered, for how much and for how long.
Attention should be drawn in particular to the provision which provides for payments to be made for "a period of not more than five years from the date of the decree of divorce, such period not to be exceeded unless the court is satisfied that there is no other means of making provision for a party to the marriage and that that party would otherwise be likely to suffer serious financial hardship as a result".
The Bill is on its second round of the legislative process and has been met with some resistance historically, due to concerns that the provisions will cause unnecessary hardship.
The Bill does strive to introduce more clarity. There appears to be a mix of the wide discretion provided by the factors within section 25(2) MCA 1973, together with specific references to how the individual orders will be determined, seemingly reflecting on case law principles which have developed over time.
It is questionable however if this will make things clearer or introduce more conflict over the interpretation of the individual clauses. Whilst the 1973 Act does have its faults and limitations, the wide discretion afforded to the Judiciary does at least continue to uphold the principle that every family is different and one size does not fit all.
Family lawyers will continue to watch the development of the Bill with interest.


News about upcoming changes to mortgage regulations has been hard to escape over the past several weeks. If you need a recap, click here.
The biggest change is that buyers who have a down payment higher than 20% will now have to undergo a stress test to see if they could afford their mortgage payments if interest rates go up. This will definitely apply when they're applying for a new mortgage and could even apply to those switching lenders at the end of their term.
This change isn't all that unreasonable – a buyer's finances will be tested to see if they could still afford their mortgage payments if/when interest rates go up. Its a safe and smart thing to know. This will mostly affect first-time buyers who are maxing out their budget. They'll find that they'll be approved for less than they're hoping.
If the interpretation is that the rule applies to homeowners switching lenders, hopefully the homeowners are earning more money and have built more equity into the house which will mean that they will have no problem with the stress test.
The big question is – how will this affect the market, if at all. When changes are announced, the market usually slows down until people see what is happening. We've seen this time and again, most recently this spring after the Fair Housing Act was announced.
Depending on who you speak with, some feel there seems to be a lull in the market right now but watching the sales being recorded on MLS in certain sectors and neighbourhoods, the proposed changes aren't affecting prices at all. There are new listings, but not as many as one would expect for the fall market ,so because of low inventory demand is remaining high and prices are climbing.
The announcement that the new rules take effect on January 1 could lead to a potentially large number of buyers coming to market and wanting to close before the end of the year as well as sellers rushing their homes to market anticipating a price drop. However, it takes time for a home to be prepared for sale. Sometimes it's just not practical.
Even without a glut of new buyers, there is still competition out there, especially for condos in the 400K-600K range and homes in certain neighbourhoods, which continues to push prices up.
After January 1, first time buyers who can't afford the home they want will continue to rent and save towards their down payment. The vacancy rate in Toronto according to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation is 1.4%. A healthy vacancy rate is about 3%.
What does this mean? It's a great time to buy an investment property if you're willing and able to hold onto it long term. According to a study from the Ryerson City Building Institute, Toronto needs 8000 purpose built rental units per year over the next ten years to get the vacancy rate back to where it should be.
How likely is this to happen? Very unlikely, especially now that rent controls for condo buildings are in effect and it's not as attractive for developers or property management companies to own new buildings where they can't increase the rent except for the legally allowed percentage. If you have the down payment necessary and with the average rent for a one bedroom condo being around $2000, according to the Toronto real estate board, your costs would be covered and rents are only going up.
I've recently assisted quite a few investors with buying a second property for the purposes of growing their real estate portfolio since the rental market is so strong. If you have questions about buying an investment property feel free to contact me and I can help you with the ins and outs of investing.
In the end, I suspect that the spring market is going to be busy again and I don't anticipate a downturn in terms of prices. The mortgage regulations may result in a lower activity level, but it's also going to just perpetuate the low inventory issues that we've had for the last couple of years.
Buyers may be able to afford less, but they can still afford something.
If you have any questions about the new mortgage regulations, the Toronto real estate market or investment properties, please get in touch!

For more on this topic, read the article Why Retailers Should Embrace Digital Transformation.
Dean Gratton: Welcome to the Retail Tech Chat sponsored by Intel. I'm Dean Gratton.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: And I'm Sarah-Jayne Gratton.
Dean Gratton: For today together we explore the world of technology and the ways it's reshaping our lives.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yes. And in this podcast series, we are going to take you on a journey into retail innovation with Intel and its partners.
Dean Gratton: So today we are talking to Jane Liston and Matt Browne from CDW, a leading multi-brand provider of digital transformation solutions to the retail industry and beyond.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Hi, Jane. So great to have you here. Hi, Matt.
Jane Liston: Thank you for having us.
Matt Browne: Hey, guys.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Great to have you here. I'm going to kick this off with a question for you, Jane. What does CDW do and what's your role there?
Jane Liston: Those who haven't worked with CDW before, we're a global organization, value-added reseller, 18 billion pound turnover. Really, what we do is work with our clients around end-to-end solutions, covering hardware, software services, and cloud. That's us in a nutshell. My role is to lead our retail strategy, so I'm responsible for our go-to-market, building out our retail practice, and how we remain as credible as possible and support our retail customers.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Fantastic.
Dean Gratton: And Matt, what about you? What do you do?
Matt Browne: I'm a solution specialist at CDW. I tend to focus on digital transformation and innovation and just making sure our customers are getting the right solution, and it's going to deliver on their business needs.
Dean Gratton: What is your background then, Matt?
Matt Browne: Background for me is software development as a standard. I did a master's degree in artificial intelligence as well. And then from there just move forward into the innovation space with CDW, helping to pilot that within the business and bring those sorts of solutions in. We've covered everything from RFID to computer vision, to hybrid cloud and anything beyond that we've had a hand in.
Dean Gratton: Okay. A master's in artificial intelligence, how was that?
Matt Browne: In a nutshell, in a two-second nutshell, I think it's an incredibly powerful tool that we are yet to discover how to fully utilize and derive value from. And I think there's some incredibly interesting aspects we can take it down, but it definitely has its full potential to be realized.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Let's bring what you've just said back to retail and to CDW, what role do you see AI playing in the future of retail? That's probably a really broad question, but what do you think?
Matt Browne: I think it plays a key role in certain elements. I don't for one minute perceive the idea of a holographic AI welcoming me into a store anytime soon as per iRobot or some other sci-fi publication. But I do see AI providing a huge amount of resource to companies who want to leverage the intelligence they can get from either data generated by the store, or data generated by endpoints on video and audio within the store to actually improve upon customer experience, rather than sat there in the front of the store doing nothing more than telling me I'll have nice glasses on or a nice hat, for example.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah. But with the pandemic, do you think there's more of a need for, in terms of social distancing on a High Street experience, for example, do you think IO will play more of a role there. Because physical interaction is becoming more and more difficult at the moment.
Matt Browne: Yeah. I know you mentioned that about iRobot and I think that's really a long, long way off.
Jane Liston: I might just quickly jump in just for a second on this. Because I think some think that you are seeing in certain areas, there is a little bit of this happening and there's interest in it. I think the challenge sometimes is at the moment where people you've got stretch budgets, where do you invest? And where's going to give the biggest return and some of these give amazing in-store experience, you can see how it'd be great for retailers. But is it something that they can get the business case to stack up on? And it's the same I think we found a lot with the safety solutions in-store. We did a lot of work around that, where we've got quite a good portfolio of social distancing solutions using visual and different technology to do that. But at the moment, it's just that challenge around it's a big investment and at the moment do retailers need to be spending in that area. So it's a real challenge for them, how they manage this and where they use budgets at the moment.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah. So that initial return on investment is something, especially with businesses struggling and having these challenges is a huge ask, isn't it? And will it return.
Jane Liston: Yeah, that's it. I think the days of… You see some really cool tech and I'm probably the most guilty of this if I see a new product and go to Matt, "Matt. Wow. This is really cool. We could do X, Y, X with it." And then he's like, "Hold on a minute, Jane, how's this actually, what's the use case here? It's not just got to be maybe a use case just for social distancing, but how we can spread the value of this across the business and show real value for the retailers."
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Dean Gratton: With new technology in mind, what is the approach technology into the retail environment currently?
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah. What's your approach? What does the journey look like?
Matt Browne: I think for us… Hopefully for most people, it starts with actually defining the business and functional requirements of what the technology needs to do. I think as Jane alluded to, gone are the days of technology for technology's sake. I think that's a bit in the past at the minute, it's about defining what is the problem? Is it too much theft? Is it you want to rationalize the supply chain? Is it customer engagement, whatever it might be? And actually just expanding that and that opens up all the relevant doors to technology into retail and whether that is computer vision, whether that is RFID, whether that is Bluetooth, or it could be as simple as just improving a network in a store. That's all a technology investment for a retailer. And it's actually about what does the business require, because we've all seen pretty shiny things that we want to put in place, we've all got gadgets coming out of our ears. I'm sure, again, as Jane alluded to, it's that ROI for customers. So it's building that definable ROI initially on requirements and then opening the doors to tech from there.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah. So it's actually, what do you really need rather than what would you like to have? It is being realistic, isn't it?
Matt Browne: Yeah. It's what you need, not what you want, as Modern English used to put it.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Dean Gratton: And also along with the technology approach rather than the buzzwords and "Oh, we've got this technology, let's use this technology." Rather than "What is the problem that needs to be solved?"
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah. And how can we do it? And the most cost-effective way for you. It works for you. Exactly.
Dean Gratton: How do you work with Intel to help retailers with their journey?
Matt Browne: From our perspective? I think the way we work with Intel to try and bring technology into retail is we leveraged them on a couple of planes. I think the first one is that they have an immense amount of power and reach globally from both a business perspective and a technology perspective. I think that leadership that they can bring, I think is invaluable to any organization. It doesn't matter how big you are whether you're five guys in a garage or 10,000 people in Canary Wharf, the value that those guys can bring. And then I think also their research and development that they put into technology and testing technology, and being able to showcase that without having ourselves having to do as much research, we still need to research the technology.
But having access to their laboratories and their demo centers and being able to bring them into that environment and show them it in the real world. It's one thing for somebody to show you a video of a hologram, it's another thing for you to see a hologram going back to holograms. And it's very impressive when you can see those kinds of things. So I think having that is hugely impactful and it helps bring technology to the forefront of a retailer's vision.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah, absolutely. To have the ability to actually be there to see things without investing yourself, to have this partnership where you can see how this can help our clients. Now I can see how that's a really positive support system.
Dean Gratton: Actually to see something tangible because having worked in R&D myself, you have all these paperware promises, etc.. And it's really valuable when a customer can actually touch something and hold something in their hands. Where they actually see something working right in front of them.
Jane Liston: I think it brings it to life and I think what's become even more important too is over the last six months when life's changed immeasurably for all of us, and we're working in a much more disconnected way where we're not going to big trade shows, getting together at workshops and customer events, that ability to connect and still get a global view. So where we work with Intel and CDW, we've got a lot of global clients sometimes being able to share that insight of what's been happening in the Far East, what are the emerging trends to help share that information with our UK-based retailers and to help guide them and provide those insights that people just aren't getting at the moment. So helping keep our customers connected with the wider picture and supporting them at the moment with insight. I think that's really powerful.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah. You're so right, there are so many varied needs, aren't there. How can you help a given merchant and find a solution that works for them?
Jane Liston: So I think a lot of what we do around that solution provision as Matt said, it's about understanding their business, but also understanding, first of all, them as a brand. What their priorities are, what's important to them because every retailer is different and they've got different challenges. So I think it's once we know and really understand them and it's taking them on that journey, we've done a lot of work to create a retail partner community of leading vendors who specialize in retail technology software services so that we can really help fast-track that process. So once we understand those requirements, what we need the outcomes to be, to be able to make those introductions, those specialist partners, and then linking that into those CDW core areas around sort of network and infrastructure.
Because it's fantastic if a client wants to make an investment in magic mirrors in-store or a great in-store experience. But if the network's not powerful enough to support that and all of a sudden, your EPOS, you're having issues with taking payments that that innovation project is going to fail. So it's getting the right solution partner, but also making sure the client's got the right foundation to make their projects a success.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah. So you've looked for end-to-end solutions that are deployment ready so they can really hit the ground running, can't they?
Jane Liston: Absolutely. And that's I think what CDW brings to the table, it's about taking the client on that journey and understanding what's needed to make that… I talk a lot about data center to store, about how you make that end-to-end solution work so rather than having to work with lots of different organizations. We're able to simplify and take the complexity out of that journey.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah. But I'm right in thinking Jane, Matt, that this is not one size fits all, is it, in terms of your solutions? They are adaptable.
Matt Browne: Exactly.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: In terms of the varied needs. I read or I heard somewhere the other day, you can't solve retailers' needs by generic solutions. They need to be more bespoke.
Dean Gratton: More tailored.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah. Tailored to needs.
Dean Gratton: We have specific needs.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah. Yeah.
Matt Browne: Exactly. And that's the type of approach we want to take. There's one thing for having a repeatable deliverable solution. And there's one thing for having a custom solution for every customer. And I think it's striking that balance. Every retailer is different. Every business is different. And we look to take a building-block approach where we can build a solid foundation, a solid base. And then as the individuality of each brand comes out, we can assess the right prepackaged building blocks to build their brand. And those building blocks will probably only equate to 75% of the solution.
And then there's a 25% of pure custom branded work for that organization whether it's the right colors, the right look and feel for their customer, whatever that might be, so that it is a unique solution for them. But 75% of the work is built in this building-block fashion that we can then repeat, deliver, and ensure that we can support them on the journey once the technology is in there as well. It's one thing to sell something to somebody. It's another thing to make sure that they're deriving the value and that we can make sure that that's going to help the business continue to thrive once the technology's implemented.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Fantastic. I always liked the analogy when I hear the word tailored, it is a bit like making a designer outfit. Because you're tweaking this, you're tweaking that to make sure you've got the perfect fit and that's what you guys are doing. But I know, Dean, you wanted to ask about the market-ready solutions. I think that kind of linked into the…
Dean Gratton: And certainly in the context of Intel. What are the Intel ready solutions and how do they address these issues?
Matt Browne: I think the market-ready solutions from Intel address a number of issues. I think the first one they address, which I think is beneficial to everybody is they do the research, the testing for brands. So once upon a time a brand would come in and they'd want a smart mirror or a mobile pulse system, and they'd have to go out to four or five different people, get different versions, bring them into the store, test them. That's a lengthy process. It takes time. They have to do all the back-end work to deliver that. And I think what the Intel market-ready solutions do is they take all that work, and Intel does that research and that preparation and can provide a blueprint to succeed for the customer. So I want a magic mirror, here's a magic mirror and here's how you deliver it.
And here's the technology that's required. And here's the requirements on the back-end and here's everything you're going to need as a business to deliver that. I think that's what they did really well. And they have such a broad range. And so many partners feed into that range that we've got solutions in there. Other partners have got solutions in there, and it allows us to take the people that are doing the right things really well and accelerate them to market. And also not go down the unfortunately "two guys in a garage" route sometimes where they can promise the world. And as you alluded to earlier, it's all there in blueprint, but it's not been delivered in a real-world scenario, but for big retailers that's a necessity.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah. Cool.
Dean Gratton: Just one thing really quickly, what is a magic mirror?
Matt Browne: A magic mirror is a mirror that allows you to try on clothes and interact with the store in the changing room.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: I knew that.
Matt Browne: It has video detection, so it can impose clothing on top of you, or makeup on top of your haircuts or glasses, whatever it might be. But also can be touchscreen to allow you to request the next size up or the next size down or a different color or something like that. I almost like to call it that "what other people purchased" experience, but in a store rather than on a webpage.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Would you describe that as augmented reality?
Matt Browne: In a sense some of them are augmented reality. Some of them not, there's a scale, but we've seen a lot of interest in exactly that augmented reality for things like makeup and glasses. So especially at the minute, without being able to go into store to try on a new pair of glasses or try a new eyeshadow color. Brands are looking for ways of using augmented reality to bring that either into a store, but not having to have contact with anyone or into a device so that they can retain the customer experience for a customer whether they're sat in their living room or sat in traffic on the M25, they can still get to that experience.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: I think that's great in terms of trying things on; you find the perfect look. What annoys me and I've done it…
Dean Gratton: What annoys me is you look into your dressing room and say, "I've got nothing to wear."
Jane Liston: That will always happen, Dean. We will never have enough to wear.
Dean Gratton: So that's not exclusive to my wife then.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: There's no technology that will change that though.
Jane Liston: No. No.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Walking in, you found these things that you really, really want and you walk into the shop and they don't have anything in stock, or there's no way of knowing if they have it in stock. Or sometimes they show they have it in stock, but when you go in there they don't. That can be quite frustrating and I'm probably not explaining this very well, but…
Jane Liston: No, I know exactly what you mean and it's probably something, Sarah, that we speak a lot to retailers about the importance of understanding their inventory. Especially from a customer experience of "Right, that's in the store, I'm going to there to collect it. Oh no, it's not." Brands don't want that. So this is where we're seeing a lot of interest around RFID solutions so that you can accurately manage what stocks were, so that you've got that confidence. Retailers really want people to go into bricks and mortar. So they've got to make sure stock's available and also it helps with the whole click-and-collect piece as well. And making sure they've got the right level of inventory. And it obviously from an operational cost perspective if you want to have the things in stock that people are buying, and not 200 pairs of the wrong jeans that aren't popular.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: And also I think, Jane, that these days people tend to go out with purpose. They go out, they need to get this, they need to come back. It's not the strolling around environment that we had before. And it possibly will get back to that, but who knows, but it's never been more frustrating then to get to somewhere and find that something you thought was going to be there isn't there. And I think you're absolutely right. And you're spot-on with looking at these ways of making sure that stock levels are being monitored and people know what's there and the store knows what's needed. I think that's absolutely the right direction.
Jane Liston: And I think it links a lot into where we're seeing more retailers looking at ship-from-store as well with how they can make… Where that stock's been maybe potentially on shelves for a little while, how they can now not just have their main distribution centers, but use that bricks and mortar to ship from as well. Again, that's critical. They know what's in there. So when potentially an online order is placed, they've got the ability to ship from different locations. And often we're seeing more demand as well for consumers, we've all got a bit used to Amazon Prime and next-day deliveries. So we expect that standard now, and we're seeing that enhancement now of four-hour delivery windows. And the only way to do that really is ideally be able to ship from these store locations to do that.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah, absolutely. I think you're spot-on and I think with time being… Our time's limited in terms of how much time we spend outside of the home. What we feel is, is we feel a pressure so I think to build that value in terms of the retail experience is probably the most important it's ever been in my lifetime.
Jane Liston: Yeah.
Dean Gratton: Actually you're talking about the supply chain and the logistics to support those products, availability of those products. Do you use the internet of things as a concept to support that ecosystem?
Matt Browne: Yeah. 100%. I think you'd be naive to think that if you wanted a fully managed and visible supply chain, that you wouldn't be able to use the internet of things. And I think having connected devices, having the internet of things has many labels. But having connected devices that are providing real-time information or near-real-time information on where lorries are. What is on what lorry, how much inventory is available, anything like that. And that comes from a range of devices, anything from cameras monitoring lorries and bays. Through to GPS tags on shipments in the sea when you're shipping stuff globally, whatever that might be.
I think that technology is more and more important. And having us again, go back to the idea of a building-block approach, having a stable platform for that technology to feed in is so core that the business can then rely on that platform. So they can say in your four-hour delivery window; we can have that to you in four hours and they know they can get it to the shop in two hours. And then it's two hours from the shop to me, for example. And that's a huge benefit to retailers being able to provide that clarity and level of information is incredibly important as they try and cope with whatever wave of lockdown or process needs to be in place as we move forward to the minute.
Dean Gratton: Yeah. To have everything connected, it's great. We've got a new concept called the internet of things, but to be honest, before it came along, everything was connected anyway. So we have this new buzz term internet of things. Do you see it adding any other value in the retail experience? The so-called internet of things?
Matt Browne: I think so. I think it adds value to a retailer in terms of, like I said, supply chain shipments, knowing where things are, having access to information. I think it can provide huge benefit to customer as well. I know I like it when I can see a time window for delivery, for example, or I can interact with the technology within a store, from a device, something like that. And they're all connected things in this internet of things, to give it a broad term. I think that connectivity at the minute for a lot of people it's hugely important because one, it increases that experience in store, which obviously makes me want to… it makes me want to go back to that store. However, when you're then delivering data back into the business, it makes a business ability to be more profitable. It allows the business to have that conversation and then move forward. So it works really well both sides of the coin.
Dean Gratton: Yeah. Well, you mentioned data. I suppose that's an important aspect of the internet of things, the new wealth of data that's available and the opportunity to have this information about retailers and the experience with data. You could actually model new experiences and issues within that ecosystem because of that new data. How do you use data? How does CDW use data?
Matt Browne: We use it for all manner of things in terms of a business, how we use data. We use a lot of data to identify what's working and not working for our customers where we're seeing trends. So where Jane is out there talking to customers and getting information from them, there's always data being captured there. And we're able to use that to look for trends. Where should we be focusing as an organization? We have our opinion or where we should be focusing, but the industry might be going in a completely different direction, right? So it's always good to have that data. And then we see data as huge importance to our customers and is a real focus area for us as a business in terms of it could be retail, it could be XR the industry, data, everybody talks about data being the new oil. Data being worth more than gold, whatever phrase is in the Financial Times this month.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Buzzword of the month.
Dean Gratton: Data is the new oil. Data is the new currency. Data… What is it now?
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah, but it's so powerful, isn't it? I think…
Dean Gratton: Only if it's used right. I've worked with a lot of companies that have this enormous amount of data…
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: They don't know what to do with it.
Dean Gratton: … and they scratch their heads; they just don't know what to do with it.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: You've got to know. It's only powerful if you know how to use it. Yeah. But if you do know what to use it for, it's incredible. I just would love to understand how giving you guys some examples of merchants you're working with, how are they using your technology in innovative ways? Give us some examples.
Matt Browne: Sure. So we're working with, to go on the data side of thing. So the conversation we've just had we're working with a global cosmetics brand that, unfortunately I cannot name. But they are doing exactly that around supply chain. They need to know where stock is? Where it's going? How long it's sat in a store for? How they can reduce their inventory and how they can ship that from the store? We have some incredibly interesting statistics from them around holding almost nine months' worth of stock in a store based on their sale volume for that product. So they've just continued to order the same amount every month depending on whether the product was selling or not because that's all they knew. They didn't have an accurate view on inventory. So they're able to then start actually bringing in the stock they need, rather than having boxes and boxes of stock taking up corridors.
And that then enables them to have that right place, right time stock, and not be sitting on product, which then enables them to rationalize supply chain. But then beyond that rationalize their manufacturing process. So they're not thinking that they're selling 500 of this shade of lipstick globally. They actually are selling a hundred and people have just been over-ordering because they thought that's what they needed. So then the manufacturing processes is then able to look at where they need to refocus their efforts and deliver value that way. And so it stems right the way back. So that's one of the core ones we've been working with these guys for a very, very long time.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: That's a great example. That's a fantastic example, Matt, because it shows how everything can swing out of balance.
Dean Gratton: It's about management, isn't it? Inventory.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah. And everything really leads back to really knowing what's what from the base point. I think that's amazing.
Jane Liston: And I think it links as well into some of the loss piece as well because obviously these are small items of high value. And you hear some very high percentage in loss rates where they haven't been able to track the inventory in the way that they can do using this solution. So the savings are massive and there's been estimates that the project could potentially pay for itself within nine or 10 months, despite the scale of it in what the savings can be.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: That's really impressive.
Dean Gratton: And is there anything else you'd like to touch upon now that you haven't spoken about?
Jane Liston: I think what is important for us as a business as well is we've spoken a lot today about innovation and how we can help. And a benefit of a market-ready solution around repeatable still with customization and with predictable costs because that's really important as well. But for us, what's really important as well, is that relationship piece with our customers. It's about that journey on working together in partnership because it's not about looking at tactical projects; it's about building up that understanding so that we become a virtual extension of a team. And that's really important for us if we're trying to… I always try and look at it through the retailer's eyes and they've got a really complex world to look after.
Jane Liston: Because they've not only got the bricks-and-mortar store, but they've got corporate as well. So they've almost got two worlds that they need to manage, which is a lot of complexity. And if we can help with simplifying some of that by understanding their business properly and their challenges, it enables us to build up that long-term partnership, which is just really important for us as a business.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: So, and Jane, what do you think differentiates CDW from others in the marketplace and what are your core values?
Jane Liston: I think what stands us apart is there's a couple of things really. I'll have to touch on our size and scale and our ability to do global solutions because that's probably something that we've not touched upon. We supply to over 150 countries. So when we're working with retailers globally…
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: That's so impressive.
Jane Liston: … we can offer that single. Yeah, we've got an amazing logistics and supply chain business. And that's such a core element for retailers. Getting new kit to store is such a headache, especially with different currencies and different challenges and the cultural differences. So that's the massive value of what we can do with simplifying that. And also about building up for us, it's about partnerships as well about really understanding our customers, their brand, their business challenges. Because they've not just got the world of bricks and mortar, but they've got corporate, they've got e-commerce, they've got such a complex landscape and they're being pressed very hard on operational costs.
And now it is a challenging time, so it's really important for us to be seen as an extension of team, to help support them, take the complexity. And if we can help fast-track some of the innovation conversations by our knowledge, working with Intel on the market-ready solutions, and then harnessing CDW core skills around infrastructure and data centers package up a complete solution. I think that's really powerful, too. So it's about the relationship, understanding the business and at the moment also being there for people. It's tough times and we're all people at the end of the day, working with people, so how we can support our customers and keep them connected.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: That human touch. Wow. I'm so impressed.
Jane Liston: We can talk about sensors. And that's all great, but at the end of the day we're humans who are in challenging times and we need to look after each other a bit.
Dean Gratton: And how did you begin your journey with Intel?
Matt Browne: So the journey with Intel began, I want to say about four years ago now. And it came at an interesting time. CDW had just finished purchasing Kelway. We were coming into the fold of part of the CDW family. And we at that time were spinning up a shadow digital transformation team within the organization. It just so happened at that time that Intel were putting more attention into Kelway or CDW UK. It was a match made in heaven almost at the time because the guys from Intel really wanted to do some interesting work with us. We really wanted to get into some interesting work. And so we just were drawn together through that process. It started slowly and over time we've just built that partnership up, worked together. It's been countless meetings, Webexes, sessions together, countless lunches and dinners and drinks and things.
But it's been a fantastic relationship. And I think it's gone from strength to strength, just us being able to leverage from the guys at Intel and all that great stuff we spoke about around research, development and everything there. But also I'd like to think Intel have been able to gain from us in what we're seeing and how we've addressed different situations that have been different to the way they would have focused on it. And I think that's been quite core, hopefully quite core for those guys as well. And I think we've had a really strong working relationship for the last four years.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Wow, what a partnership.
Dean Gratton: That's absolutely wonderful.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Yeah, absolutely. Well, I'm very happy with the way this has gone. Is there anything else that you'd like us to cover, guys?
Jane Liston: No, I think that was really what we wanted to cover. Just around obviously the Intel partnership, the benefit, the market-ready solutions.
Dean Gratton: Thank you both.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Thank you both so, so much for an amazing insight into what you do and how you work with Intel. And this has just been a fantastic interview for us.
Dean Gratton: And we're recording this just before the weekend. So have a fabulous weekend.
Jane Liston: Yeah. Massive thank you for having us. It's been great to meet you and get to know you guys better and yes, and thanks to Intel for their support.
Dean Gratton: And likewise.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: And that's it. Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode.
Dean Gratton: And if you've enjoyed this podcast, you can find out more about retail innovation at insight.tech.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: On behalf of Intel. This has been Sarah-Jayne..
Dean Gratton: And Dean Gratton.
Sarah-Jayne Gratton: Until next time.
Dean Gratton: Until next time.

This coming Monday, the Belmopan Church of the Nazarene will be officially opening the doors of the Hedges Estate located on the outskirts of St. Matthews Village to commence their in-house rehabilitation center.
The non-profit organization will start off its first session with six members, and will be catering to persons that have been left behind by society or disowned by their families due to addiction – those that are battling depression, lack of opportunities, anger and hurt by offering spiritual guidance, moral and mental support until they are fit to return to society as healthy and productive individuals.
The 50-acre property has been designed to be self-sufficient and has been furnished with sheep, goats, chickens, geese and other farm animals. The organization has also secured the assistance of trained aquaponics personnel who will assist in safe fish farming practices. Also on board is the Ministry of Agriculture which has pledged its support to assist in vegetable farming.
As part of the rehabilitation process, the men will be required to dedicate half of their day to the upkeep of the estate and to plant and raise their own food. The other half of the day will be committed to counseling, spiritual devotion, bible study, skills training and academics.
Pastor Louis Wade of the Belmopan Nazarene Church told the Reporter that the program took an entire year to plan but will be free of cost to adult males that are in need of a resting place. "Hedges is a place where people who are hooked on drugs or alcohol can come to for assistance and guidance. Or those who have finished their prison sentence and might not want to go back to their old lifestyle or their old neighborhood for fear of getting trapped again in that lifestyle," he explained.
Wade told the newspaper that the need seems to be so great that in just a matter of days the institution has received 16 applications. The program, however, cannot accept all those applicants and needs to ensure that its budget can fully and adequately serve six members before the decision is taken to expand it.
Hedges Estate has 15 committed board members and hopes to continue operations with funding and pledges from those who believe in this very worthy cause.


I volunteered at the Asian Women United of Minnesota (AWUM), a domestic violence shelter for Asian women, when I was a student at the University of Minnesota. I've had an honor to design their annual reports every year from 2012-2016 to be presented to the donors and sponsors of the shelter.

A group of all-stars does not make a team
December 2, 2013 /in Coaching, Culture, Excellence, Learning /by Shawn Hunter
They were unbeatable, invincible. The supergroup, the dream team.
There must be thousands of ten year old boys in New England that play soccer. About forty of the best players from the very best teams were hand-picked to be evaluated by the best coaches. Of those top forty, twenty-eight were cut. They picked twelve players to form the all-stars. From thousands down to twelve. Twelve boys were plucked from the masses to form an elite team – an elite team that would make just one appearance at a tournament and then disband.
They had to work out a few kinks in their first match. They won 12-3, allowing three goals. Their second match was 10-0. Their third match, against us, was 14-0. I was surprised someone kept count. Towards the end of the game they were scoring every few seconds it seemed. We would gather the ball out of our net and trudge back to midfield to kick off, to be trampled again by the little Rooneys, Maradonas and Peles. They played in a stampeding rush down the middle of the field. With flashy footwork to be sure, and passing when necessary, but like marauders all eager for a goal. They played like what they were – mercenaries. Hired guns.
All of the other teams at the tournament, were exactly that – teams. Teams that played and practiced, and ate and laughed and traveled together. And there was one team at the tournament called NEFC that had been playing together for years, probably since they were only five years old. They were amazing, and unlike any U11 soccer team I had ever seen. In their match against us they held possession of the ball at least 90% of the time. I do not exaggerate. And when we did somehow intercept a pass, they were upon us, deftly extracting the ball to resume their hypnotic passing.
They were mesmerizing as they glided around the field, passing sharply from one to another to another. After they scored 6 goals against us (in the first half), their coach instructed them to stop scoring. So instead, they would pass up the alleys, to the corners, into the middle to create a scoring opportunity. And then not score. Instead they would pass away from our goal to the outside and back down the far side of the field, all the way back to the goalie. The goalie would reset the ball, and they would commence to pass again up the field to build a scoring position. Again and again, while our players stabbed at the ball and ran in circles chasing their spellbinding passes.
Then their coach told them to play on their off foot – that is, pass and dribble using primarily their less agile, non-dominant foot. It didn't matter. They didn't lose the ball. We're a good team, and we had a great experience at the tournament. But against NEFC it was all clearly a training exercise for them as they continued to hone their skills together.
And so it was destined that the all-star elite team would meet the NEFC team in the tournament finals. NEFC won 6-0, and although I didn't see the game first hand, I bet their coach again asked them to stop scoring after 6 goals.
That's excellence, class, precision, and true teamwork. Unlike the all-star team in which every player wanted a heroic goal, it was impossible to tell which player was dominant on the NEFC team. The quality of the team was such that everyone was elevated together. Instead of competing for an alpha team position, the NEFC players supported each other so well, everyone was great.
Think about that. Do you want to be on a team in which everyone is fighting for glory? Or a team in which the camaraderie and support is so tight everyone gets better?
