Antimicrobial Stewardship in Ambulatory Care and Ambulatory Surgery Settings
By Phenelle Segal on 6:57 AM
Antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) refers to coordinated interventions designed to improve and measure the appropriate use of antimicrobials by promoting the selection of the optimal antimicrobial drug regimen, dose, duration of therapy, and route of administration.
For the past few years, a major emphasis has been placed on developing and maintaining AMS programs in acute care settings as well as outpatient centers.
AMS efforts at the federal level began in September 2014 when President Obama issued an executive order to combat antibiotic resistant bacteria. The order detailed plans for reducing the risk of resistance through a number of initiatives, including introducing AMS into ambulatory care. Ambulatory settings include, but are not limited, to outpatient clinical practices, ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs) and dialysis centers.
In March 2015, the White House issued a national action plan which includes an extensive list of goals and expectations. By 2020, significant outcomes in this area will include:
Establishment of antimicrobial stewardship programs in all acute care hospitals and improved stewardship across all healthcare settings.
Reduction of inappropriate antibiotic use by 50% in outpatient settings and 20% in inpatient settings.
Establishment of State Antibiotic Resistance Prevention (Protect) Programs in all 50 states.
In June 2016, The Joint Commission released a new standard relating directly to AMS: medication management (MM) standard MM.09.01.01. This standard will be enforced in January 2017 for all acute care hospitals, critical access hospitals and nursing care centers. According to The Joint Commission, "This standard was developed following the White House Forum on Antibiotic Stewardship, held on June 2, 2015. At the forum, The Joint Commission joined major health care organizations, food companies, retailers, and animal health organizations at the forum to express commitment for implementing changes over the next five years to slow the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, detect resistant strains, preserve the efficacy of existing antibiotics, and prevent the spread of resistant infections."
Infection Control Consulting Services (ICCS) stresses the need for ASCs and other outpatient facilities to develop their AMS programs without delay as the White House and accreditation agencies ramp up their efforts to implement changes in antimicrobial use. The Joint Commission will more than likely hold its outpatient facilities to the same standards as inpatient and nursing care centers, and it would not be surprising to see other accreditation agencies (e.g., AAAHC) add an AMS standard(s).

So, you say you're a chef. Can you be more specific?
Home » Toqueland Blog
The profession offers more possibilities than ever; shouldn't our language reflect that?
We're a ways off from this, but still, the industry has long been in a brave new world.
(image ©Kittipong Jirasukhanont)
Hi, friends,
As a new decade splays before us, it seemed like a logical time to share a few thoughts about where things are headed in Chef Land.
For a while now, it's been unavoidable that the profession has undergone so many genetic-level changes that the very vocabulary we use to describe it could use a freshening.
It's not the first time: Restaurants had pastry departments long before they had pastry chefs, a designation that became necessary to distinguish those who specialize in the sweet stuff; in growing restaurant empires, where the figurehead is rarely running or even present at most locations, many who today are titled chef de cuisine would have been classified as sous chefs as recently as thirty years ago, and not felt the least bit slighted; and nobody could have foreseen the notion of a celebrity chef even just ten years before a handle of some sort became a cultural imperative.
Classically, chef simply meant the leader (literally, "chief") of a professional kitchen. In the United States and throughout the West, most of their repertories were interchangeable, whether at a "fancy" French restaurant, or a neighborhood joint trading in (at the time) less celebrated, almost surely less appreciated cuisines.
That model began to morph, dramatically, about a half-century ago as cooking became more individualist and expressive. In the last decade, give or take, as the industry has waken up to the brutality of the work and unforgiving financial model, some newly minted toques and veterans alike began seeking new ways to be a chef, including even without a restaurant. Concurrently, others–born into a world where the expressive possibilities of the medium have long been a given–increasingly pushed the boundaries of that dimension.
Add it all up and being a chef means more things, to a greater variety of people, than ever before. Having a vocabulary to discuss them and their work, or just make sense of an ever-more-complex landscape, might be helpful moving forward. With that in mind, here's a working set of chef–categories, a first-pass of ways to think about the profession as we move forward into a new decade:
Dan Richer, of Razza Pizza Artigianale in Jersey City, NJ. (photo courtesy Razza)
The Specialist – When French cuisine and fine dining dominated the restaurant landscape, evaluating individual chefs was a breeze–they who made the most exquisite pike quenelles, veal Orloff, and potatoes Dauphine ruled the day. Behind the swinging doors, a kitchen expectation was that the chef was the most knowledgeable about, and proficient at, what was considered a standard, non-negotiable arsenal of recipes and techniques, essentially serving as the house Obi-Wan. Today, some of the most lauded and popular foods are turned out by passionate experts who specialize in one genre or technique, whether it's the barbecue of Will Durney or Aaron Franklin, Johnny Ray Zone's Nashville hot chicken at Howlin' Ray's in Los Angeles, or obsessive pizzaiolos like Razza's Dan Richer and Pizzana's Daniele Uditi. Are these single-subject practitioners still chefs? Of course they are. It's no longer a debit to not have attended cooking school or not to have logged years memorizing and mastering the scales–knowing how to play a few notes or chords extraordinarily well is more than enough.

The Artist – Is cooking an art or a craft? It's a topic we've been fortunate to explore on my podcast with chefs and experts ranging from Massimo Bottura to Alex Stupak to … Phil Rosenthal. (Fun fact: Only one of them, Rosenthal, netted out at "art.") To summarize the prevailing collective chef opinion: Food's primary function is to nourish and sustain, with a close/distant second being to give pleasure. It's fine for food to attempt to evoke an emotion or to teach, but that's strictly elective. That said, there are chefs who have made art their primary goal, and readily advocate for it as such. Jenny Dorsey of Studio ATAO comes to mind, as do chefs whose food has an unmistakably artistic bent like Dominique Crenn, or despite his own personal opinion on the matter, Bottura himself.
The Popper-Upper – Can one be a chef without a restaurant? Increasingly the answer is a no-brainer–YES! On one end of the spectrum, there's the large-scale, traveling international roadshow of Outstanding in the Wild. On the other there, are independent chefs, like Paul Liebrandt who, since leaving Brooklyn's The Elm a few years back, has been mostly functioning in residencies at restaurants like Racine's and Chefs Club NY, and participating in collaborative dinners with chefs like Ryan McCaskey. Of course, Flynn McGarry, now installed at Gem in New York City, made his name in his Eureka pop-ups in LA and Manhattan. And countless young chefs have honed their restaurant concepts in pop-ups, from Jonathan Wu of the dear, departed Fung Tu to Sayat and Laura Ozyilmaz of San Francisco's Noosh (who unfortunately have been embroiled in a protracted drama with the restaurant's owner) to Nico Russell of Brooklyn's Oxalis.
The Conservationist – Whether in generous enterprises like Food for Soul's international network of refettorios (soup kitchens) or in waste-minimizing restaurants like Matt Orlando's Amass in Copenhagen, or in statement-making projects like Dan Barber's Wasted, these chefs forge new ground in using as much (i.e., wasting as little) as possible–from plant and animal parts to water, shipping containers, and paper. In the win-win department, these practices aren't just good for the planet, they also (sometimes after initial investments are recouped) have the promise of drastically reducing operating and food costs.
The Grey's Mashama Bailey, at the Philly Chef Conference in 2019.
The Anthropologist – Whether sharing deeply of their own personal story, reflecting a diaspora, or simply exploring the nooks and crannies of a particular region or cuisine–or combining two or more of those goals–chefs such as Mashama Bailey, Ashley Christensen, Kelly Fields, Diego Galicia and Rico Torres, JJ Johnson, Kwame Onwuachi, Michael Solomonov, Claudette Zepeda-Wilkins, and countless others, have brought an edge of education and provocation to their menus.
The Classicist – A chef who happily stays in a traditional lane, faithfully executing a roster of dishes handed down to us all by prior generations. Sometimes, praise and appreciation for these toques is scant and stingy, because they don't shock palates or raise eyebrows, but their food is often more soul-stirring than the cerebral, inventive, visually arresting competition that dominates on social and traditional media. Many chefs who trade in Italian food fall into this camp, such as Portland, Oregon's Cathy Whims. Obviously, there are no shortage of bistros and brasseries that proudly fly the French culinary flag. And as diners become more sophisticated, curious, and inclusive, no cuisine is beyond the grasp of a chef interested in sharing it.
The Herbivore – Long before the Hollywood Foreign Press served up a plant-based dinner at this week's Golden Globe Awards, plenty of chefs were operating in that mode, and the list has only grown longer and more compelling. From Amanda Cohen's playfulness at Dirt Candy to Brooks Headley's vegetal riffs on what's been traditionally considered fast food at Superiority Burger to Tal Ronnen's celebrity-pleasing vegan menu at LA's Crossroads Kitchen, these chefs have found new ways of making meatless cuisine satisfying on every level.
Patrick O'Connell, front and center, entertaining as always at The Inn at Little Washington.
The Entertainer – Whether it's a cutting-edge modernist flourish like the green-apple helium balloon at Alinea, or an involved, traditional production such as the tableside duck press at Pasjoli; a legend like Patrick O'Connell being introduced as the "Pope of American Cuisine" by a waiter dressed as an altar boy (swaying a smoking thurible) at the pass of The Inn at Little Washington or Jordan Kahn's immersive theatrics at Vespertine–what unifies all these chefs is that they weave an element of showmanship into their food, their restaurants, or both. The result is, effectively, as a friend of mine once smiled at Eleven Madison Park (where the magic was mostly sparked by the template shattering inventiveness of restaurateur Will Guidara, who's since moved on): "Dinner … and a show."
Dave Beran, currently chef-owner of Dialogue and Pasjoli in Santa Monica, back in his days as chef de cuisine of Next, combining elements of The Entertainer and The Historian during the restaurant's El Bulli dinner.
The Historian – Classicists adhere to the tried and true canon of a particular cuisine; historians delve into the culinary past, to teach through food. At Grant Achatz's Next in Chicago, which changes its theme/focus three times a year, menus have recreated the glories of Ferran Adria's El Bulli, Paris 1906, and even the Bocuse d'Or competition–one meal inspired food writer Sam Sifton to scrawl the words TIME TRAVEL in his notebook at the end. (His work on the Paris 1906 menu inspired former Next chef de cuisine Dave Beran's mostly classic French cuisine at his Pasjoli in Santa Monica, California.) The effect is something like an edible museum, which is literally what's produced at Corey Lee's In Situ at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, where the menu is a periodically shifting, complementary roster of notable dishes by influential chefs. Expect more homages and exhibitions along both of these lines in the coming years.
Fjolla Sheholli (left) and Junayd Juman, the couple behind Honey Badger in Brooklyn.
The Hunter-Gatherer – Whether they brave the wild themselves, or rely on a network of culinary Indiana Joneses to deliver it to their kitchen door, these chefs are animated by the challenge of making order from what nature offers up, often underscoring or revealing essential local truths or introducing diners to previously uncontemplated foodstuffs. Whether it's René Redzepi's occasionally nomadic Noma, Iliana Regan's midwestern explorations at Elizabeth, or the adventurous resourcefulness of Fjolla Sheholli and Junayd Juman at Brooklyn's Honey Badger, there's no telling what you might be introduced to on their plates: mold, bugs, unfamiliar plants and animals … when they find the sweet spot, their food stimulates the mind with minimal visible fuss or ego–an irresistible combination.
The Genre Buster – These chefs are to restaurants what Quentin Tarantino is to any number of movie genres–restless re-inventors of the familiar. Rich Torrisi and Mario Carbone have made a career of playing around with the conventions of red-sauce Italian eateries (Carbone), coastal Italian retreats (Santina), and even the very specific reference points of The Four Seasons (The Grill and The Pool). In Westchester County, NY, Dave Di Bari brings a stoner sensibility to the American diner at Eugene's in Port Chester, NY. And, we take it for granted now but David Chang made his bones reinventing the noodle bar with the first Momofuku. By tinkering with cultural touchstones we all take for granted, they make us see, and taste, the world in fun, new ways and wake up our imaginations.
The Lifer – It's no longer a given that a chef will keep cooking for their entire career. More than ever, young people enter the profession with their sights firmly set on television, live appearances, books, product lines, fast-casual concepts, consultancies, and so on. (In my humble opinion, there's nothing wrong with this. Things change.) In that context, it's perhaps worth designating those for whom the kitchen is and always will be enough.
The Dynamic Duo – There have always been a handful of lovebirds who function as co-chefs, but more recently, platonic chef-pairings have become more commonplace than ever before: Frenchette's Lee Hanson and Riad Nasr have been joined at the hip since the launch of Balthazar; Jeremiah Stone and Fabian Van Hauske make beautiful magic at Contra and Wildair; as do Jess Shadbolt and Clare de Boer at King, where both lunch and dinner menus change daily. What's remarkable is that these teams' kitchen produce food that has a specific, unified point of view with no seams showing.
How did I do? What did I miss, or get wrong? What other categories might emerge in the coming years? Would love to hear your thoughts. Hit me up by email, or in the comments to this post on Instagram.
Oh, and, Happy New Year … may 2020 be good to us all.

Luke 24:35 Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.
Then the two from Emmaus told their story of how Jesus had appeared to them as they were walking along the road, and how they had recognized him as he was breaking the bread.
Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.
And they began relating the things on the road, and how He was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
Then they began to describe what had happened on the road and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
The two then explained to them what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized the Lord when he broke the bread.
Then the two men began to tell what had happened on the road and how they had recognized him when he broke the bread in pieces.
Then they told what had happened on the road, and how they recognized him when he broke the bread.
They related the things that happened along the way, and how he was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
They also related those things that had occurred on the road and how he was known to them when he broke the bread.
Then the two disciples told what had happened on the road and how they had recognized Jesus when he broke the bread.
And they began to relate their experiences on the road and how He was recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
And they told what things were done in the way and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known to them in the breaking of bread.
And they rehearsed the things that happened in the way, and how he was known of them in the breaking of the bread.
And they told what things were done in the way; and how they knew him in the breaking of the bread.
And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known to them in breaking of bread.
Then they related what had happened on the way, and how He had been recognized by them in the breaking of the bread.
While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.
Test and prove what pleases the Lord.
Strong's Greek 1834: To lead, show the way; met: I unfold, narrate, declare. From ek and hegeomai; to consider out, i.e. Rehearse, unfold.
Strong's Greek 2800: A breaking. From klao; fracture.
(35) He was known of them in breaking of bread.--The use by St. Luke of a term which, when he wrote, had already acquired a definite secondary meaning, as applied to "breaking bread "in the Supper of the Lord (Acts 2:42; Acts 2:46; 1Corinthians 10:16), is every way significant. He meant men to connect the recognition at Emmaus with their daily or weekly communion in the Body and Blood of Christ.
Verse 35. - And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. The two travellers now relate to the eleven their wondrous story. The words used by Cleopas and his friend in their narration, ἐν τῇ κλάσει τοῦ ἄρτου, which should be rendered," in the breaking of the bread," are significant. It is an expression which, at the time when St. Luke wrote his Gospel, had acquired a definite meaning in the language of the Christian Church, and was applied to breaking bread in the "Supper of the Lord" (see Acts 2:42, 46; 1 Corinthians 10:16). While they were speaking together, the personal appearance of the Lord was vouchsafed to them; for, of a sudden, he stood in the midst and spoke to them!
24:28-35 If we would have Christ dwell with us, we must be earnest with him. Those that have experienced the pleasure and profit of communion with him, cannot but desire more of his company. He took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. This he did with his usual authority and affection, with the same manner, perhaps with the same words. He here teaches us to crave a blessing on every meal. See how Christ by his Spirit and grace makes himself known to the souls of his people. He opens the Scriptures to them. He meets them at his table, in the ordinance of the Lord's supper; is known to them in breaking of bread. But the work is completed by the opening of the eyes of their mind; yet it is but short views we have of Christ in this world, but when we enter heaven, we shall see him for ever. They had found the preaching powerful, even when they knew not the preacher. Those Scriptures which speak of Christ, will warm the hearts of his true disciples. That is likely to do most good, which affects us with the love of Jesus in dying for us. It is the duty of those to whom he has shown himself, to let others know what he has done for their souls. It is of great use for the disciples of Christ to compare their experiences, and tell them to each other.


Rarely can a player have split opinion among the Oxford fans as Matthew Simon Murphy, born Northampton. On his day, he was a strong attacking midfielder with an eye for goal. At other times he was a waste of space, who spent most of the match pointing at space. Frequently both versions were seen in the same game. He did score some crackers, most notably at Cardiff and live on TV at Reading, but even when he scored 20 goals from midfield in one season his detractors still detracted. Famously once came on as a substitute, only to be replaced himself later. He was not a happy bunny.


On April 26th, the Sheriff's Office took a report that a 2008 Ford F350 Pickup truck valued at $25,000 and belonging to the Missouri and North Arkansas Railroad had been stolen from a private residence off Big Pond Place, which is off State Highway 5 South. A GPS locator device allowed deputies to locate the stolen vehicle buried in the mud at the end of North Cardinal Drive in Mountain Home.
The Mountain Home City Police had already arrested 18 year old DILLON LAWYER of rural Mountain Home for theft of another motor vehicle in a separate incident and for the break-in of a pharmacy in the city. DILLON LAWYER was also developed as a suspect in the theft of the truck from Big Pond Place. Investigators determined that a piece of equipment from this stolen truck was used in the break-in of the pharmacy that LAWYER had been arrested on. Additional GPS evidence was gathered indicating the movement of the truck after it was stolen.
Based upon the evidence, DILLON LAWYER was also charged by Sheriff's Investigator Brad Lewis with one felony count of motor vehicle theft. LAWYER was incarcerated in the Baxter County Detention Center. He was later released at 5:30 PM on April 26th after posting bond in the amount of $15,000 on this theft charge. He is scheduled to appear for arraignment in Circuit Court on May 24th.

Daryl Katz: Alberta's 50 Most Influential People 2014
Alberta Venture | July 1, 2014
Takeaway: Daryl Katz finally got his arena.
Daryl Katz, Age: 53
Hometown: Edmonton
Influential Because: He finally got his arena
By 2016, an 18,000-seat, spaceship-like structure will bookend the northern limits of Edmonton's downtown. What it will be is up to interpretation – either a mecca for the city's beloved NHL Oilers or a lightning rod for renewed urban development. But with the structure, Daryl Katz has used his considerable wealth and sway to push the city in a new direction. He's become a catalyst for change, and that's influence of the highest order. You can sense that Katz is also attempting to help himself here – either to build a legacy or just to rebuild a reputation, which sees many in Edmonton consider him aloof, indifferent or worse. Plunking down $100 million (of the $480-million price tag) for the arena might be the best PR he could buy.

I travel as much as possible at home and abroad. I'm always ready for new experiences
Published December 7th 2012
An iconic stone fortress in North England
The ancient city of York is currently a conglomeration of Roman, Viking, Norman, medieval, and modern architecture, such that a Starbucks mingles quite easily with the centuries old York Minster and medieval Shambles.
This is a city with a turbulent history of invasion and integration of new cultures - it's possible to walk around for many hours just enjoying the varying images each era has left on the city. Clearly, there are many iconic places to visit on a trip to York, but one unmissable place is Clifford's Tower. Visible from a long distance away at the very top of a perfectly round hill, this tower, more like a castle, immediately provokes curiosity.
Clifford's Tower. Photo by Erin Connelly.
No one knows why the tower is called Clifford's Tower. Though, it may refer to a medieval prisoner who was executed in the grounds (Roger de Clifford). The mound originally had a timber fortress at the top, which was constructed by William the Conqueror in the eleventh century, as part of a wide range of castles, towers, and fortifications built across England as a demonstration of his conquest of the island. This original wood structure was burned during the massacre of 1190, a tragic and terrible event which still haunts the current building.
Inside the tower. Public Domain.
After climbing the several stone steps to the top of the hill, it's unfortunate to learn that the tower's foremost claim to fame is a medieval massacre of York's Jewish citizens. In 1190, a violent mob went after the Jewish population, who took refuge inside the tower. Within the fortress, many of the people took their own lives, others died in the burning building, while those who surrendered to the mob were murdered. Altogether around 150 people perished in the assault.

The tower has since been rebuilt and subsequently destroyed by weather, neglect, pillage, and war many times over through the centuries. In recent years, a proposal to demolish the tower in favour of a new shopping centre has been put forward, but this plan is hotly opposed by many members of the public who believe the tower should be left as a memorial to the massacre and a reminder of York's tumultuous heritage.
Tours of the tower are available for a small entrance fee. Walking up the hill and around the edifice is free and provides some lovely panoramic views of York. Of course, one doesn't travel all the way from London to the north of England just to see a fortress on a hill, but it is certainly worth adding to your list of attractions on your next weekend away in York.

Marico's Parachute oil – a plastic container case study
Marico's Harsh Mariwala gets Lifetime Achievement Award
Shardul Sharma
Harsh Mariwala, chairman and founder of Marico Industries, speaking at the summit
At the recently concluded 6th Injection, Blow, Roto & PET Moulding International Summit 2018, held in Mumbai on 5-6 July and organized by ElitePlus, Harsh Mariwala, chairman and founder Marico Industries, was bestowed with the Lifetime Achievement Award for his contribution to business and to the plastic industry.
Marico is one of India's leading companies in the FMCG sector and owns some popular brands such as Parachute, Saffola, Kaya, Set Wet, Nihar, Mediker and Revive, to name just a few. Parachute is the flagship brand of Marico which consists of edible grade coconut oil. Mariwala joined Bombay Oil Industries Ltd., his family's commodities trading business, after finishing college from Mumbai's Sydenham College. Gradually, he moved out of family business and founded his own firm under the name Marico, which pioneered the shift from tin to plastic packaging for coconut oil in the 1980s.
In his acceptance speech delivered during the ElitePlus seminar, Mariwala shared an episode in the company's growth history when Marico was able to change the game in oil business by ushering in a switch where tin containers were gradually replaced by plastic ones. He said that when Marico first pitched the idea of plastic container for coconut oil, there was severe resistance from retailers. "Initially there was a lot of resistance and scepticism, but we were convinced about the idea," he said.
Marico's Parachute coconut oil
To find the reason for such stiff resistance, Marico interacted with the retailers and found out that the idea of plastic containers for oil was pitched by another company a few years ago. However, the experience was not good for the retailers as these squarish-shaped containers were damaged by rats, leading to oil spillage and damage to their shops. With this input from retailers, Marico went back to the drawing board and soon launched a round-shaped plastic container, which had no edges for rats to cling on. Also, the container was designed in such a way that rats could not smell the oil. Marico then experimented by putting the container in a cage full of rats and took photographs to show to the retailers that Marico's plastic containers cannot be damaged by these rodents. The company again met with the retailers and assured them about the safety of the plastic containers and even guaranteed that if any damages take place, Marico would compensate them.
"The rest, as they say, is history. We gradually created awareness about the advantages of plastic containers and within a short period of time, the entire market shifted from tin to plastic," he said.
Marico then ventured abroad and found enormous success in Bangladesh. The company implemented everything that it did in India in Bangladesh as well. Within a decade of entering the country, Marico had more than 80% share in the Bangladeshi market.
"So, plastic has played a very important role in shaping the fortunes of Marico," he stated.
The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.
A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.
As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India's real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.

Written by The Heat Team
Love them or hate them, the comfort of rubbery Crocs are undeniable. Since its launch in 2002, Crocs have been met with polarising opinions. While some revelled in the 'ugly shoe' trend, flaunting their pair as a fashion statement, matching it with socks and personalising it with Jibbitz, others remained uncertain. Indeed, the shoe has surged in and out of popularity over the years, but the overall verdict on Crocs right now is certainly more than favourable.
Following in the footsteps of Bad Bunny's glow-in-the-dark Crocs earlier this year and Post Malone's camouflaged rendition from 2019, Justin Bieber appears to be the next pop-star to put his unique twist on a co-branded Clog. Just three days ago, the artist shared an image of a pair of rubbery orange slip-ons floating in a pool, teasingly captioned "soon." Crocs' responded with a green heart emoji, fueling further speculation about a possible collaboration. That single shot sent shares soaring — in the minutes following Bieber's post, Crocs stock jumped 7 to 8%, before reaching an 11% increase on Thursday, trading at a peak of $47.81.
In recent years, Crocs have penetrated the streetwear and fashion scene, which began with a collaboration with Scottish designer Christopher Kane. In 2016, Kane unveiled a series of high-end Crocs as part of his SS17 London Fashion Week show. The collection featured the rubber shoe, rendered in marbled prints and embellished with rough mineral charms which resembled gemstones. In 2018, Crocs hit the Fashion Week runways once again, this time, in Paris. Demna Gvasalia took the rubber sole to new heights, quite literally, when he sent Balenciaga models down the runway in 5-inch platform Crocs at Paris Fashion Week. The pair of shoes single-handedly birthed a flood of memes, and the collaboration sold out immediately upon release at Barneys.
Crocs haven't just planted their soles firmly into the fashion industry. Earlier this year, the footwear company collaborated with KFC. Yes, the finger-licking-good Kentucky Fried Chicken. KFC Crocs were printed with images of fast-food company's signature fried chicken and accented with red and white stripes on the soles. The best part though, has to be the mouthwatering, scented fried chicken Jibbitz which comes with the shoe. McDonald's may have Travis Scott, but KFC x Crocs might just take the crown for the most outrageous collaboration of the year. Whether you're bold enough to rock a pair or not, they undoubtedly make for an interesting display piece, or at the very least, a lifetime collectable as a memento of the strange year 2020 has been.
The rebound for Crocs is a significant shift for the brand, since being deemed 'one of the 50 worst inventions' by TIME magazine in 2010. But as the saying goes, all PR is good PR. And if you're one that's still on the fence about it, perhaps Justin Bieber's rendition of the rubber shoe will tempt you.

Voice, Data & Telephone System Case Study
Who are Oakes Bros Ltd?
Oakes Bros Ltd is a private limited company incorporated in 1945, can trace its roots back to 1825 when Thomas Oakes set up in business on his own at 114 High Street, Hungerford, at the premises at the junction with Park Street, which were the original premises used by Oakes Bros Ltd when it was incorporated and only evacuated in 1957 when new purpose built premises were constructed in the Station Yard at Hungerford.
Over the course of time Oakes Bros. became agricultural implement merchants and the business gradually expanded as the demand grew for mechanisation on the farm. We sold our first tractor in 1918, a Titan to Mr WH Box of Chiseldon.
In 1950 the company was appointed Ford tractor main dealers and since then Oakes Bros. have acquired various sites and businesses with the latest acquisitions being Watson & Haig at Andover in 1990, John Wilder (Agricultural) at Reading and Wallingford in 1996, Sussex Tractors at Horsham in 2004 and William Wheatley (Wickham) Ltd in 2005.
The company currently operates out of three agricultural locations situated at East Ilsley, Horsham and Micheldever.
Oakes Bros is the main agricultural dealer for New Holland and JCB covering Berkshire, Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Surrey, West Sussex and Wiltshire. We sell a wide range of combines, tractors and farm machinery both new and used. The sales are supported by a comprehensive parts and service team.
Edmund Lindley, Managing Director of Oakes Brothers Ltd praised SBC by saying, "Southern Business Communications Ltd have provided Oakes Brothers Ltd with quality service for more than 20 years. Our partnership continues to grow in strength year after year. The implementation of voice and data services has added a strong core to our company telecoms. Using new technologies provided by SBC provides a confident and future proof platform in which to trade."
The Voice & Data Challenge
Oakes Brothers have been a partner of Southern Business Communications for more than 20 years. In early 2014 we decided to increase the products and services with SBC. Oakes Brothers moved all fixed call charges, telephone lines and broadband services to SBC as part of a pre-planned investment in the company fixed telecom strategy. This covered all three of the company sites and included free site-to-site voice communication, new telephone system hardware and enhanced call logging and recording software.
To control fixed line costs while providing a suitable multi-site solution.
To provide new telephone system (PBX) hardware to all sites.
To understand where incoming call traffic comes from and provide suitable marketing reports.
To integrate PBX with existing ACT! CRM data base.
Richard Crees of Oakes Brothers Ltd said. "Oakes Brothers have consolidated all fixed services with SBC. Having both calls and lines billing with one trusted provider has provided a financial saving and provided a leaner solution. The review prior to the transfer to SBC highlighted services not being used. SBC delivered a complete solution for all sites without any downtime or impact to the business."
The Voice & Data Solution
Oakes Brothers decided to partner with SBC to achieve their new fixed telecom strategy. As an existing provider we knew using SBC would provide superior know-how and expertise to achieve the right solution.
New Panasonic telephone system equipment has been installed into East Ilsley, Horsham and Micheldever. The sites all inter connect using VPN network connectivity.
The telephone system incorporates Tri-Line Call Logging software that provides total call visibility across three sites.
The telephone system also integrates with the company CRM solution ACT. Using additional computer telephone integration software called Go Connect.
Richard Haines, Oakes Brothers Ltd continued…"The integrated Tri-Line and Go Connect software has provided a more advanced systematic approach to how the company utilises call data for both marketing and internal system reviews. We now spend less time collating this information that allows Oakes Brothers to react to a challenging sales environment."
The Voice & Data Benefits
Consolidation of Oakes Brothers telephone systems, calls, telephone lines and data services with SBC has provided a more efficient, managed solution – 24-7/365 days a year. The time spent analysing monthly invoices by the Oakes Brothers administration and accounts team has been significantly reduced, underpinned by SBC's fixed provisioning team who provide support and backup needed to implement new services as and when required.
Panasonic's new cutting-edge telephone system has provided a more effective way of working. The ability to capture all calls and integration with Oakes Brothers computer systems has allowed both the sales and management team to work more efficiently and improve training and staff performance.
Tri-Line Tim Plus 100 call logging software plays an important role in the day-to-day business of Oakes Brothers. Tim Plus simply offers Oakes Brothers the ability to analyse all call traffic by destination and team members. In turn providing valuable data for marketing and sales processes.
Go Connect software provides full integration between Oakes Brothers new telephone system and PC's. With Go Connect CRM, every Oakes Brothers employee's productivity has been increased, and linking Oakes Brothers SAGE – ACT! Professional database allows all users to know who is calling and to quickly get their details on the screen. Go Connect CRM software has improved overall staff productivity and greatly improved customer service levels.

Tasha at Truth, Beauty, Freedom and Books and Meghan at Medieval Bookworm are hosting a Classics month this March, and as a part of that Tasha invited me to write a guest post about why I love the Victorian. So if you're curious about where this slight obsession of mine came from, just click over for my semi-coherent explanation. I briefly explain how my fondness for the era began, how it is (perhaps oddly enough) tied in with my interest in gender issues, glbtq rights and social justice in general, and why I see reading about the past not as an excuse to pat ourselves on the back about how good we have it now, but as an opportunity to deepen our understanding of the present.
Brava! I love your guest post. Despite all of the social problems (or maybe because of it), the Victorian era is so appealing when you read about it on the page.
WONDERFUL post, Ana! I have recently become fascinated with Victorian Literature as well, but you have voiced the beauty of this era far better than I ever could.
Great post, Ana :-) I know I am more a Regency fanatic than a Victorian one, but I know exactly what you mean about becoming steeped in an era and wanting to learn all about it.
Ooh I shall pop over there now. I was looking at the picture at the top and I can't help but wonder how women sat down in skirts like that.
Thank you so much, Aarti, Molly, Sandy and Vivienne! I'm so glad you enjoyed reading it. And Vivienne, about the skirts: I KNOW! Crinolines are a complete mystery to me. Apparently they were also hugely troublesome when climbing into or out of carriages.
Aw, thank you so much, Jingle!
Wonderful guest post, nymeth!! So much happened during that time that is relevant now...I think I'm becoming more & more interested in it. See? Your enthusiasm is contagious!
Brava, Nymeth! What a wonderful post. Makes me want to read some Victorians soon.
Daphne, I haven't watched it, but needless to say now I'm dying to! And Edwardian is fine too, as I love them almost as much as the Victorians :P I'll definitely see if I can find it - thank you!
ds: I'm happy to hear it :D And yes, it was definitely an eventful era!
Off to check it out -- 1959 is one of my favorite years, so I guess that makes me Victorian.
Teresa: I like the Regency period too! I need to read more about it really.
Of course I meant 1859 not 19. Sigh.

Kolkata Trip | Things to do in Kolkata / Calcutta | West Bengal
July 31, 2018	2	By Reya Roy
The marvelous city Kolkata in the Eastern State of India, West Bengal, has not only been of historical importance for Indians but also a main hub during British rule (East India Company). My Kolkata Trip and cities nearby, Howrah, covered both aspects of these cities.
Walking around the streets gives a European feel because of the construction from the British rule . From street lamps to huge buildings like Victoria Palace, Birla Planetarium, etc. to the famous Howrah bridge. The city has a different feel compared to the typical Indian cities.
Victoria Memorial, Calcutta/ Kolkata
The first master piece I choose to mention is Victoria Memorial, situated in Kolkata on the bank of Hoogly river, near JL Nehru Road. It was constructed in the early 20th Century on the death of Queen Victoria. It is a beautiful memorial made entirely of White Makrana Marble (inspired by Taj Mahal).
The another one, that connects Kolkata/ formerly Calcutta to the second largest city, Howrah, in West Bengal, is the Howrah Bridge. It is an important transportation hub of West Bengal and a major gateway for Kolkata. The bridge is constructed to cross the river Ganges. The also another option to reach the opposite side of the river, by steamer.
Howrah bridge, Kolkata, India
Now thrid place to visit in Kolkata is solely for entertainment, The Nicco Park. An amusement park, located in the salt lake city, with all kinds of rides. This park was created to attract tourists to the state by providing family-friendly recreation as well as educative entertainment.
Evolution park, Nicco Park, Kolkata
The another place important not only for the state but the entire country is the Science Centre in Kolkata, the biggest Science park in India, located at the crossing of Eastern Metropolitan Bypass. It is extremly vast, creative & educational. It even has a small ride "Evolution Park" which is a boat ride in a cave that takes the passengers through a series of evolution models, from Jurrasic era to the modern era. Also has a small ropeway/cablecars aswell.
Nicco park, Kolkata, India
Now every Indian knows how popular and of importance is Godess Durga and Her Temples are in West Bengal. Two of which are Dakshineshwar Kali Temple, a Hindu temple located in Dakshineswar near Kolkata, situated on the eastern bank of the Hooghly River.The other popular one is Kali Ghat Kali Temple, another of the Hindu temple of high importance, because it is one of the 51 Shakti Peeths. Unfortunately I couldn't take any pictures on my Kolkata Trip of these two as photography and filming is strictly prohibited in Temples (read Vaishno Devi Blog).
I visited another interesting place called Birla Planetarium and watched a complete show at night. It is very close to the Victoria Memorial. Also there are number of museums in the city, I couldn't visit all of them. But someday I would like to visit all of them and write in detail about most of them.
Because the city is situated along side the Bay of Bengal, seafood is really popular in Bengali dishes. The most popular festival in West Bengal is Durga Puja, celebrated prewinters. The dates may vary. It may be difficult to travel freely and fastly during this festival, but Durga Puja sure is a worth visit. Also during the rainy season , the Kolkata Trip is not that worthy, because this place gets hugely effected by monsoon winds coming from the Bay of Bengal.

The new ActionSense glove can be used in the clinic and at home to aid assessment and ongoing rehabilitation.
Flare-ups are extremely painful but common symptoms of Rheumatoid Arthritis and Osteoarthritis. Pain and stiffness occurs first thing in the morning. This makes pain assessment difficult to measure. The ActionSense glove can detect changes in joint mobility and flexibility caused by joint pain by using a prescribed series of simple exercise routines that the patient can complete at home. Results are immediately available by the clinician for analysis and further investigation.
If the ActionSense glove is being used as part of a daily routine the software can learn and monitor the abilities of each patient and following changes in the ability patterns can predict potential flare ups and request the patient to contact their pain clinic.
Studies have shown that regular physical activity is an important strategy for relieving pain and maintaining or improving function for people with Arthritic conditions. With the ActionSense glove goal setting and training regimes can be set by the individual patient or in conjunction with the clinician for daily exercise routines. These can be set to follow a basic daily routine or with the use of the intelligent software set to push the patient to strive for improvement, and know when to hold back if the patient is not responding. Again all this information is available to the clinician to monitor, respond and to be assured that the set goals are being followed, which will vastly improve their ability to respond with appropriate treatments.
The unique element with the ActionSense glove and its intelligent software is that it is not bespoke to any one particular ailment and can be used in novel ways across a variety of ailments which require measurement of finger movement or rehabilitation of the limb, such as post stoke rehabilitation, assessment of hand movement pre & post cardiovascular key hole surgery and investigating tremors in patients with Parkinson's.

I've studied four systems of Wing Chun.
Admittedly, I never got to far in two of them (one month and a year and a half, respectively).
But in the third system, I basically went nearly as far as was possible.
Yet when I started studying the system that Greg got from Gary Lam via Wong Shun Leung, I found a whole bunch of extra stuff in it!
Gary Lam had added the Muay Thai, but there was a lot of material from Wong Shun Leung (and I assume Ip Man) I'd never seen before. Outside of the mindset and the "taking position" ideas, I don't think these elements are the most important aspects of the system, but it does give you a certain ability to flow with opportunity and to deal with adversity and changing fortunes.
What was missing from those other systems?
Pushing, pulling, tripping, standing grappling, and much of the kicking. And Po Pai.
I think integration of pushing, pulling, kicking, Po Pai, trips, with hitting adds dimensionality and surprise to the system. You can see it in the demo from Wang Zi Peng (a Wong Shun Leung student who teaches in China) below. Most of the stuff in his demo is in the Wong Shun Leung system (we have Chokyu standing grappling), but Wang Zhi Peng may also be playing with some Shuai Jiao (Chinese system of grappling and throws). This is what someone can do after they have mastered Wing Chun. They can use it as a frame for their other skills and talents. It can all blend together into a personal expression (as Bruce Lee would say).
These are all actions of opportunity. You don't quite get into the right position, so their missed punch can turn into a pull. If they get traction, you can switch to a push, or a trip, guiding their head into a wall of the ground.
If you miss one kick, you can go with another. If you regain to the ground too close, you might have the opportunity to turn then and use a lock to disrup their balance. It all depends on what the opponent and the moment gives you in terms of opportunities.
But at the highest level, this ability to move between ranges and find opportunities at any distance is something beautiful to behold.
Another interview discussing the dummy.


Srinagar: Celebrating International Women's Day, J&K Bank on Tuesday organised 'Free Medical Camps for Females Only' at Iqbal Park in Srinagar and Rajinder Park in Jammu.
In a statement, spokesman of the bank said that the camp at Srinagar was supported by the Sher-i-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences (SKIMS) as the Institute provided a team of lady doctors across various faculties.

The shop also carries twelve blends from the Walt Disney World exclusive Discovery Collection. You can choose among Pure Sencha Green Tea, Two Seasons Darjeeling, Medley of Mint, or Budding Meadow Camomile. Each box contains 15 large-leaf tea bags and can only be found at the Tea Caddy shop.
Even though it's still warm and sunny here in Florida, it's easy to get in the holiday spirit with the various flavors of Twinings Holiday Teas. Just the smell of the sweet apple and spicy cinnamon notes in the Winter Spice tea make me feel like I'm back home in New York sitting in front of the fireplace while the snow falls outside.
If all of this sounds like your cup of tea, be sure to check out a brand new offering at Walt Disney World Resort, the Rose & Crown Pub & Dining Room Tea Experience. Explore new Twinings tea flavors, learn about the art of tea pairing and indulge in scones, sandwiches and other tea-time treats. What's not to love?!

We attended the Rose & Crown Pub & Dining Room Tea Experience In September. It was wonderful! The cast memebrs shared their tea knowledge and own preferences. The food was lovely and we learned a great deal about tea! The chef spoke with us about the recipes he used for the sandwiches and scones and shared the recipes via email that same day! (And yes we went to Publix and found the 'Branston Pickle' as per his suggestion!)
Wonderful experience! I would definitely do this again!
One disappointment was that the 'Twinings' timers that we used to time how long we brewed/steeped our tea are not available for sale! The other was that many of the teas are not offered as decaffeinated teas. (This can be an issue for some people who have to avoid caffeine for medical reasons.)
All in all a great way to learn about tea!

The cast member at the Tea Caddy said Mr. Twining would be returning during Flower & Garden. Any information as to when he might be scheduled?

Few possess the musical knowledge and crate-digging skills of LoveVinyl's Zaf, whose 2012 collection of private-press disco, funk and boogie, Private Wax, was arguably one of the best compilations of recent years. Here, he returns to the world of ultra-rare records - specifically, those pressed in tiny quantities and often distributed by the artists' themselves - for a belated follow-up. As you'd expect, highlights come thick and fast, from the urgent, 12-minute disco-soul hustle of Lou Johnson's "Keep That Fire Burning", and the synth-driven soul sweetness of Englightenment's "Burning Flame", to the sparkling electrofunk brilliance of Karizma's "Will You Dance With Me", and the blue-eyed disco bliss of True Feelings' clavinet-laden groover "Love Me, Love Me". It is, though, all pretty darn tasty.
