Bug report #16609
"Save raster layer as" dialog: the Pyramids group is always inactive and expanded
Added by Harrissou Santanna over 3 years ago. Updated almost 2 years ago.
Right-click a raster --> Save As...
In the dialog, the Pyramids group is expanded by default and grayed, meaning that there is no way to collapse it nor use its properties.
#1 Updated by Harrissou Santanna over 3 years ago
The gray status might be related to the incompatibility of this option with my layer. But inability to collapse that group makes the dialog uselessly high (scroll needed).
#2 Updated by Giovanni Manghi almost 2 years ago
Resolution set to end of life
End of life notice: QGIS 2.18 LTR
http://blog.qgis.org/2019/03/09/end-of-life-notice-qgis-2-18-ltr/
QGIS 3.4 has recently become our new Long Term Release (LTR) version. This is a major step in our history – a long term release version based on the massive updates, library upgrades and improvements that we carried out in the course of the 2.x to 3x upgrade cycle.
We strongly encourage all users who are currently using QGIS 2.18 LTR as their preferred QGIS release to migrate to QGIS 3.4. This new LTR version will receive regular bugfixes for at least one year. It also includes hundreds of new functions, usability improvements, bugfixes, and other goodies. See the relevant changelogs for a good sampling of all the new features that have gone into version 3.4
Most plugins have been either migrated or incorporated into the core QGIS code base.
We strongly discourage the continued use of QGIS 2.18 LTR as it is now officially unsupported, which means we'll not provide any bug fix releases for it.
You should also note that we intend to close all bug tickets referring to the now obsolete LTR version. Original reporters will receive a notification of the ticket closure and are encouraged to check whether the issue persists in the new LTR, in which case they should reopen the ticket.
If you would like to better understand the QGIS release roadmap, check out our roadmap page! It outlines the schedule for upcoming releases and will help you plan your deployment of QGIS into an operational environment.
The development of QGIS 3.4 LTR has been made possible by the work of hundreds of volunteers, by the investments of companies, professionals, and administrations, and by continuous donations and financial support from many of you. We sincerely thank you all and encourage you to collaborate and support the project even more, for the long term improvement and sustainability of the QGIS project.


There must be some kind of acronym… GAsMrTsC.
Sam. It's catchy indeed. Not unlike the great plague.
And Nick, somehow that acronym brings to mind that of some dreadful gastro-enteritic clinical condition.
Now, what do you wish your speeches to be on? Great achievements? or maybe a little dance will suffice?
Dance for us James! DANCE!
*Dances. Why are you making me do this… WHY?
Well this thread just got more amusing by several points.
Teeheeheeheehee, I'm keeping that as, er, evidence.
8 out of 10. Not bad but could be better. Remember: "It's all in the hips, it's all in the hips…".

MacDaniel & Tammy
Compels our Future
The year was 2013, and Reynolds Defense Firm was rapidly expanding and going through the dreaded 'cash crunch', a normal but utterly terrifying part of the business growth cycle. As MacDaniel and Tammy Reynolds tell it, "as business owners, nothing gets your attention quite like a rapidly approaching minus sign in your bank account." With an ever-increasing clarity that they had to do something differently, a phrase from their business coach rang loudly in their ears, "if your business needs more money, provide more value to your clients."
They took that phrase to heart, and the result of their work, Get Clear, became the first of its kind in the nation, a program specifically designed to help those arrested for DUI thrive through the legal process by redirecting their stress and fear into finding life purpose and increased enjoyment through a scientifically validated, coach-assisted personal development program.

Be Me
April's
"It took a DUI to make me take advantage of a program like this. Each step I take is making me happier."
April was 36 years old when, for the first time in her life, she found herself in handcuffs in the back of a police car. As traumatic as that experience was, her DUI arrest allowed her to begin seeing her life through a different lens. Though she loved being a mother and was proud of her medical career, life just wasn't working for her – she was exhausted and stressed. Rather than enjoying life, April was enduring life.
Using her arrest as a turning point, April enrolled in Window of Clarity, determined not to let this opportunity pass her by. As scared as she was, April was determined to make the best of a tough situation. "I can't change what happened. But everyone can grow. I want to dig into who I am and improve myself through this experience."
As April progressed through Window of Clarity, she gained new insight into how much of her life was working well. She was engaged to the man she loved. She had a smart, beautiful daughter and a career she enjoyed. April could also see where she was letting herself down. She did a great job taking care of others at home and at work, but she didn't do near enough to take care of herself. The stress and exhaustion from caring for everyone else had built up over the past years and was affecting April's happiness and success. She said, "I know I need to focus on myself. It's just hard for me to say no. I'm realizing I can't do my best if I say yes too much."
After just a few weeks in the program, April was already doing things differently and, even better, feeling differently! She was asking for help as she needed it. She was delegating at work to feel less overloaded, which was even more important and she was given a well-earned promotion. She was communicating what she needed and wanted more clearly and directly than she ever had before. She felt great! April even noticed that as she did less, others around her did more and she found a better balance of helping and being helped. April noted, "I take more time for myself now. I'm practicing speaking my mind in a way that's direct and positive at the same time. And these are all things I can teach my daughter."
All of April's hard work and commitment to herself to learn from this experience meant she came out of it happier and more successful than when she began.
"I had so much value
attached to being a mom
and a wife...now who am I?"
Fifteen years in Amy realized that she and her husband were not on the same page, maybe not even reading the same book. They had different ideas about how to raise their kids, how they wanted to live life, what they wanted in the future. Amy's dreams were on the backburner. She felt alone and lonely.
Window of Clarity helped Amy reframe how she thought about herself, what she wanted. "(It) reminded me of other things I'm passionate about, that I want, that I'd let go of in marriage." Amy was a "really good worrier" and often felt like she was in "reactive survival mode" With time she has been able to quiet the "negative self-talk" and focus on being good to herself, her kids, her friends and family.
Moving into her own apartment brought so many emotions. Not being with her children all of the time was heartbreaking. Focusing her energy on something positive like this course helped Amy sort through those feelings. "It was a life vest, a place of security to have a conversation with myself about what was happening". Window of Clarity helped give structure to this evolution, her new life.
Amy started focusing on gratitude. It wasn't always easy but, with time, gratitude started helping her reframe the hard times, even the little things made a difference. Her outlook became more positive and she could see the light at the end of the tunnel. She was able to move through the emotions that come along with divorce and learned how to embrace being alone.
Divorce is hard. Soul shattering. Can make you feel like a horrible person and that everything is your fault. Amy is so glad to have had this course on her side!
"(It) helped me do more directed, intentional work and I'm sad to see it ending!"
"I never would have imagined a DUI would be an opportunity of a lifetime to change who I am."
Michael was a college-educated, professional recruiter and had a solid family life with two kids and a wonderful wife. He had just been offered his dream job and was excited to begin. On the surface, his life looked put together and successful.
Then one afternoon, returning from golfing and drinks with friends, Michael was arrested for a DUI. The shock of being arrested forced Michael to take a deeper look at what was really happening in his life. The pressure and stress he felt providing for his family, taking care of an aging parent and traveling for work were building up to an intolerable level. It felt like everything was on his shoulders. Without realizing it, Michael had begun drinking more often. A private man in general, he began holding in more and more of his stress and unhappiness.
When Michael started the Window of Clarity he was beginning to realize something had to change. Within the first week, Michael had already discovered something positive to work towards instead of just worrying about his DUI.
The results were outstanding! Michael's whole perspective shifted from overburdened and exhausted to hopeful and energized. He began running again. He set goals for his family and for himself with a focus on what made him truly happy. He was no longer lost in the fog of stress, but could be the engaged father and husband he wanted to be. Upon graduation from the Window of Clarity, Michael felt happier, more confident and positive about his future. "This was a paradigm shift for me," he stated. Instead of the DUI being a low point in Michael's life, it became a source of gratitude and positive change that he "wouldn't trade for anything."
"I'm actually grateful for this DUI.
I wouldn't be in such a great place without having to go through this."

Environmental Master Plan steers Red Deer's sustainable future
(Red Deer, Alberta)
City Council adopted an updated version of the Environmental Master Plan, a document which will guide Red Deer's environmental strategy now and into the future.
The Environmental Master Plan (EMP) was originally released in 2011 and serves as a guide to improve environmental sustainability in Red Deer by setting goals and providing short-, medium- and long-term strategies. The EMP is designed to provide The City and the people of Red Deer with a road map to improved environmental performance. The updated plan outlines clear goals and measurable targets, as well as suggested actions for The City to undertake during implementation.
"The EMP refresh is a higher-level document that was designed to provide a foundation for strategic decision making in the future. We focused on six areas: air, ecology, energy, waste, water and community design, which combined transportation and built environment from the previous plan," said Nancy Hackett, Environmental Initiatives Supervisor, "Each of the six areas have specific targets and metrics, but we refined the plan to 20 actions that provide broader direction."
A variety of public engagement sessions provided key community insight that was used to assess current conditions and determine future focuses and goals for the plan. In addition to sessions with targeted community groups, a Community Engagement Group took part in monthly, in-depth sessions to discuss Red Deer's focus areas, targets and actions for the future.
Now that the plan has been adopted, City Staff will begin implementation to ensure Red Deer continues on its' path of reducing its environmental footprint.
A full version of the EMP is available on the City's website at reddeer.ca/EMP.

We're delighted to be working with Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) staff and a number of Finance sector representatives to deliver our first ever Finance Taster Day, on the 13th of July, as part of the ESB's wider Education and Industry STEM Programme.
The day will see 120 students from Essex schools attend and take part in a number of industry and academic-led workshops highlighting some of the careers in the sector that are open to young people as they leave school, college and university in the future, as well as an employer Q&A panel providing the opportunity for students and school staff to ask questions of sector representatives.
We're extremely grateful to have been afforded the opportunity for pupils to 'have a go' in ARU's Bloomberg Financial Markets Lab that aims to provide students with an experience as close as possible to working in a real-life financial organisation. In addition, we're thankful to companies such as IFDS and RSA Insurance who have agreed to support the day and give valuable insight to young people.
We'll look to ask attendees about their experience on the day in order to inform future events and we'll gauge whether their perception and understanding of careers in the sector has improved thanks to coming along. And where students express a particular desire to pursue the sector further we'll look to keep them engaged with the Education and Industry STEM Programme in years to come, inviting them to be part of other projects and events relating to the financial sector.

"Forever In Our Hearts"


The first link is a shocking example of netjacking, distracting people from the true message in the second one.
ONE of Premier Ted Baillieu's newly elected MPs, Geoff Shaw, has deeply offended a young gay man by suggesting that his desire to love who he wanted was as illegitimate as a dangerous driver wanting to speed or a child molester wanting to molest.
Mr Shaw, the member for Frankston, is active in his pentecostal church, Peninsula City. In his maiden speech to Parliament, Mr Shaw acknowledged ''the original owner of the land on which we stand - God, the Creator, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of the Bible''.
In early April, tertiary student Jakob Quilligan emailed Mr Shaw, his local member, to object to the government's new anti-discrimination legislation.
The legislation, tabled last week, will renew the exemption that religious organisations have to discriminate on grounds of religion, sexuality, marital status and gender, even in their commercial businesses, hospitals and schools.
In his letter, Mr Quilligan told Mr Shaw that churches should not be allowed to ''impose their beliefs on others … in non-religious/mainstream or secular settings''.
''I'm 20 in a week. I'm able to vote. I want to work, live and love freely during the course of my life, and I want to do that without thinking that I can't,'' he wrote.
Mr Shaw replied the same day, quoting Mr Quilligan's line back at him and adding: ''What if I loved driving 150kms per hour in residential areas?
He reminded Mr Quilligan that welfare organisations like the Salvation Army, Red Cross and Brotherhood of St Laurence all had Christian backgrounds, as did many hospitals, and that ''nearly all'' private schools were ''either Christian or Catholic''.
If our parliamentary paragon of tolerance runs true to form for these upholders of family values and rigid 'Christian' social conduct, he'll be found in a brothel with a feather duster up his arse pretending to be a rooster while being breast fed by an under age prostitute in a nurse's outfit, or something equally bizarre. Then we'll have to endure his tearful begging for forgiveness etc in the manner established by American evangelists when they're caught with their schlongs in someone other than their wives.
But, more disturbing than that, WTF does he mean by "either Christian or Catholic"? All Christian churches are descended from the Catholic Church. Or maybe he's just making the point that there's not a lot of Christianity in the Catholic Church, which is a fair point, but it's not the only Christian Church to lack Christ's virtues and values.

Apparently, the idea of this whole Next Big Thing thing is to interview yourself about your current or next book, mention the person who tagged you, and tag up to five more friends. Sounds like fun. Except now everyone's doing it. AND it brings up issues, okay? Don't worry, I've submerged them. The issues. I hold Sybil Baker, author of The Life Plan, Talismans, and Into This World, responsible for tagging me. Her blog post is at http://sybilbaker.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-next-big-thing-questions-and.html
Q: What is your working title?
A: A couple of years back, one working title for my poetry collection actually was THE NEXT BIG THING. The title poem it was named after, however, was anything but. Plus, what tone is that supposed to be taken in? literal? ironic? satiric? paradoxical? I finally settled on THE BLUE DEMON. My agents and operators are standing by. Anyway, the talking point for this "interview" is a novel that I completed a first draft of one year ago. I now need to do the harder work of digging in deep, finding the soft spots, and connecting more dots. The novel is SIMON KRIMPLE'S WAGER.
Q: Where did the idea come from for the book?
A: Life events and things I'd been reading building up I guess. The ripening of time. Everything from theology books I read in Seminary, to psychology texts, to psychology of religion stuff like Eric Fromm and William James. As self-discovery, I find through writing that I return to the dualities between faith and skepticism, the myth-making and scientific mind, what "really" happened and how we piece it together.
Q: What genre does your book fall under?
A: It depends. There is a LOT of autobiographical material here. But anything that we arrange and unify and emphasize and set boundaries upon is fictionalized. I guess we could call it a novel to protect the guilty. Or we could call it nonfiction to protect the innocent. Or is it the other way around? What I would prefer is that it just be called "a book." You can print that.
Q: Which actors would you choose to play your characters in a movie rendition?
A: I think it would be kind of tough because of the two intertwined narratives between the past and present. Plus, it's hard to find leading roles for someone the likes of Simon Krimple, who is quite large, fat in fact. The best I can come up with for him would be Jonah Hill pre-Moneyball. For the narrator and minor-character protagonist, Chad Denning, I would say, Luke Wilson.
Q: What is the one-sentence synopsis of your book?
A: Chad Denning, firstborn and only son of an aspiring mega-church Baptist Pastor, is confronted with whether he's really a Christian or not when his high school friend and social outcast, Simon Krimple, claims to be the Son of God—and then goes on to perform a series of miraculous deeds before his untimely death. Chad is left to pick up the pieces and make sense of the past lest he repeat it.
Q: Will your book be self-published or represented by an agency?
A: I have no idea.
Q: How long did it take you to write the first draft of your manuscript?
A: 20 weeks. 105,000 words. I was aiming for 16 weeks, but the holidays happened.
Q: What other books would you compare this story to within your genre?
A: Well, there are some thematic comparisons that can be made to A PRAYER FOR OWEN MEANY, but that's a lot to live up to and it's very different at that.
Q: Who or what inspired you to write this book?
A: I can't remember what exactly sent me running toward that first page. I think it's the same answer for "where did the idea for the book come from."
Q: What else about your book might pique the reader's interest?
A: Some really amazing real-life things happen which challenge a reader's very belief system. There is an electrocution in the baptismal pool, levitation, demon expurgation, and someone in a chicken suit gets beat up, just to name a few intriguing moments.

AMHERST, Mass. (AP) Michael Curtis threw for two touchdowns and ran for two more, Marquis Young scored three times and UMass scored four times on its first six touches to defeat Charlotte 49-31 on Saturday.
Young returned the opening kickoff 93 yards for a score and Curtis hit Andy Isabella on a 15-yard scoring pass on the first Minuteman play from scrimmage after a botched 49ers punt snap. Young scored on a 2-yard run on the next possession after Jake Byczko recovered a fumble on the Charlotte 14 and a pass interference penalty. UMass (2-3) led 21-0 after 31 seconds of ball possession before Curtis scored on a 3-yard run to cap the next series, a 3-play, 40-yard drive.
Curtis was 12 of 19 for 189 yards passing with a 29-yard second-quarter TD toss to Jessie Britt and a 2-yard TD run in the third quarter. Young gained 74 yards on 12 carries, including a 43-yard fourth-quarter TD run.
Benny LeMay scored a second-quarter TD on a 1-yard run for Charlotte (2-2), which was held to four yards of total offense in the first quarter and 90 at halftime. Chris Reynolds completed 23 of 34 passes for 283 yards, including a 16-yard TD pass to R.J. Tyler, a 2-yarder to Chris Phillips and a 9-yarder to Cameron Dollar.

zulily: Increasing revenue, enhancing customer experiences with real-time analytics
About zulily
Headquartered in Seattle, zulily is an online retailer that launches more than 100 events featuring 9,000 styles daily. zulily offers unique products from up-and-coming brands alongside favorites from top national brands across categories such as apparel, home décor, beauty, pets, toys, and more.
Industries: Retail & Consumer Goods
Products: BigQuery, Cloud Bigtable, Cloud Dataproc, Cloud SQL, Cloud Storage, Compute Engine, Kubernetes Engine
By moving to Google Cloud Platform for big data processing and analytics, zulily has the information to drive the business, deliver innovative customer experiences, and grow revenue.
Increases sales revenue significantly using real-time clickstream analysis
Improves customer experiences with helpful notifications and suggestions
Realized significant savings in engineering time spent for innovation
Collecting 5B clickstream events every day
Every day, zulily launches 9,000 new product styles—more than 1.5 times the volume most big-box stores stock in their warehouses. Quantities are limited, and items are typically only available for three days. This velocity of change and discovery is core to zulily's value proposition: "something special every day." More than 5.3 million customers come to the site daily because they know they will see new, unique items, driving more than $1 billion in annual revenue.
For zulily, it's like launching a new business every day, for each member, 365 days a year. Optimizing revenue and inventory on such a massive scale requires real-time intelligence, and that means analyzing constantly growing streams of clickstream data. The ability to track site visitors' behavior, including the pages they visit and deals they click on, is vital to the company's success. Just as important is diving deep into that data to understand visitors' behavior to personalize, as well as customize, offers and notifications.
Previously, zulily hosted its Hadoop-based big data platform on bare-metal cloud servers. However, the cloud provider couldn't keep up with the company's growth, and didn't offer the sophisticated data analytics services that zulily needed. Infrastructure management consumed too much staff time, and it was challenged to meet SLAs for the thousands of datasets it provides to business users for analysis. zulily needed a scalable cloud platform that could provide analytics tools to help it increase sales and keep its employees focused on innovation.
"By collecting more data, we're innovating faster and making smarter decisions. Using real-time analytics on Google Cloud Platform, we were able to drive a significant increase in sales conversion in just a few weeks. Without Google Cloud Platform, we would never have been able to scale the clickstream data collection 100-fold in a fraction of the time."
—Bindu Thota, Director of Product Management, zulily
zulily decided to move its data pipeline and big data analytics to Google Cloud Platform. It uses Google Cloud Dataproc and Google BigQuery to support real-time decision-making for customers and over 500 "merchants"—employees who interact directly with product suppliers—to market their offerings and manage inventory. With the freedom to scale easily and cost effectively, zulily increased its daily data collection from 50 million events to 5 billion over two years, giving it richer data to increase sales conversions and improve marketing effectiveness.
"By collecting more data, and empowering our team with the information, we're innovating faster and making smarter decisions. Using real-time analytics on Google Cloud Platform enabled us to drive a significant increase in sales conversion in just a few weeks. Without Google Cloud Platform, we would never have been able to scale clickstream data collection 100-fold," says Bindu Thota, Director of Product Management at zulily.
Greater capacity for innovation
By using fully managed cloud services—Google Cloud Dataproc for a dynamic, on-demand Hadoop engine for clickstream processing, and Google BigQuery for big data analysis—zulily frees its engineers from infrastructure management tasks. Instead of managing and scaling storage, SQL databases, and Kubernetes clusters, zulily now uses Google Cloud Storage, Google Cloud SQL, and Google Kubernetes Engine to solve business problems quickly. Google Cloud Bigtable, a high-performance NoSQL database service, integrates with Google Cloud Dataproc to provide a convenient low-latency data store.
"Our vision was to get out of managing systems and get more into adding value to the business by building big data solutions," says Bindu. "Moving to Google Cloud Platform is saving us a lot of engineering and troubleshooting time every week that we can now spend on more valuable tasks."
"With Google Cloud Platform, we can utilize real-time clickstream data and feed it back to our website and mobile app to inform how we guide and enhance the customer experience—even with 9,000 new products and millions of customers looking at our site. Those real-time insights give us the ability to drive a high level of lift."
Improving customer experiences
Reclaiming engineering capacity is helping zulily do more with real-time analysis. The company runs thousands of processes every day on Google Cloud Platform to analyze clickstream data in real time and better understand customer behavior, funneling that information to the marketing team and merchants. It's also using the data to enable more satisfying customer experiences and drive more profitable interactions.
For example, if a customer is watching an item but has not yet purchased it, zulily sends "community signals" to indicate the number of inventory remaining, helping the customer decide if and when to purchase. It can notify customers of abandoned shopping carts and explain that if they don't check out within a certain amount of time, those items may no longer be available. It can also push targeted offers and campaigns to those customers, enticing them to come back and complete the purchase. zulily's merchants now have real-time visibility into sales performance for the products they're responsible for, enabling them to quickly add inventory for popular items and increase overall sales.
"With Google Cloud Platform, we can utilize real-time clickstream data and feed it back to our website and mobile app to guide and enhance the customer experience—even with 9,000 new products and millions of customers looking at our site. Those real-time insights give us the ability to drive a high level of lift," says Bindu.
"As we work with sensitive datasets, security of any platform is of the utmost importance. We are confident in the security and reliability of hosting our datasets on Google Cloud Platform."
More secure, cost effective platform
zulily uses Google Cloud SQL to support transactional systems, store custom data sets for analysis, and for pre-pack capping—assessing profit margins on products it buys packaged together in specific assortments or sizes—assessing even if only some of the items in the package are selling. It is also using Google BigQuery for internal big data analysis to determine return on investment for customer acquisition ad campaigns, reduce shipping costs, and accelerate reporting, among other uses.
"As we work with sensitive datasets, security of any platform is of the utmost importance. We are confident in the security and reliability of hosting our datasets on Google Cloud Platform," adds Bindu.

There was no better way to ring in our summer season on Cape Cod than with our "Meghan Gets Mermade" event, with Tagen Crossley from Cause and FX! We have been planning this day for MONTHS and anticipating it's debut just as much as we know you all were and it couldn't have been more of a success! Tagen grew up on Cape Cod and has been in love with the art of makeup ever since she was a young teenager. Not only did I have the privilege to interview Tagen, but I also was able to attend the event IN PERSON and watch her work her magic. It is no easy task to complete flawless looks with regular makeup, let alone Special Effects styles. Meghan was transformed into a beautiful creature fro m under the sea in such a short amount of time, the results were amazing. "I think this look took the shortest amount of time I have ever used!" said Tagen ...Safe to say the term "blown away" is a complete understatement for this entire day, seeing as though every little thing she showed us absolutely wowed the room.
How did you get involved in Special Effects Makeup?
"I initially got into special Effects because I loved Halloween and horror movies! Especially anything with or about zombies! I just loved all the different variations and levels of creepy they could be! I started looking into what went into making creatures like that! I thought it was so much fun to sit down and create something realistic looking enough to give people a little scare. I have always loved art and always considered myself fairly good with any medium, but when I started out with FX there weren't very many others that knew much about it or how to start with it. It was cool to me that this be my own thing. Something that set me apart a little bit from other artists!"
You're Self Taught (so cool) but did you do any additional "training" to learn this trade? Or- How did you teach yourself?
"I am a super hands on learner. So when I decided I wanted to actually get into this I just sat down and started experimenting! I just used basic household items to begin with.
I did watch a ton of you tube videos! Again, Special FX wasn't nearly as popular when I started as it is now. However there was some great videos out there that I used to help guide myself in the right direction. Especially when it came to doing things safely. As far as what you want to make, there is no right or wrong answer. There are so many open doors as far as the creative aspect goes which makes this field even more amazing. And a lot of it is trial an error. But you want to try and educate yourself as much as possible because you are working with your own skin and body as a canvas. "
Where did the name Cause and FX come from?
"Honestly, I can't even remember how or where the name came from. I remember searching and searching for something that was cool and different. Everyone that was in this field typically had "SFX" or "MUA" in their title. I chose this field because it was so different , and wanted a name to match. Not something that would blend in. Cause and Effect just kind of popped into my head. I of course tweaked it into "Cause and FX". I do remember thinking that I would end up changing it at one point. But as time went on it just stuck. I certainly wouldn't have it any other way!"
How long have you been in this "business" for?
"Technically I have been doing this for 7 or 8 years. I started teaching myself around 13 years old. And though I came up with a name, I don't think I really took it as a serious business opportunity until 2012-2013. And even then it was something I did in my spare time or for fun around Halloween. I think 2015 is when I realized that, with FX becoming more popular, it was an actual option for me as a full-time career. So I mad the decision to dedicate more of my time and money into getting proper supplies, practicing my skills, etc. "
What are some of your biggest aspirations for your business?
"I have so many different ideas that I hope for with this business. One of my biggest aspirations is to simply make this business into something more! That seems vague but I don't think I have ever had one set plan or goal for it because there are so many options and different directions I could go in. But to just know that I built something form the very start is something I would like to accomplish.
I would also love to grow my own knowledge and skill set so I am able to teach others. I don't want to be a business that doesn't have anything to give back to those that support me. I have supporters because they enjoy seeing what I do and create. So I want to provide them with answers and options that I didn't have access to when I started."
Would you ever expand past a one person operation?
"Yes. I think I would always be the primary makeup artist for my business. However, there is much more that goes into my work that reaches beyond just the makeup . I have been doing my own own hair and photos for example, but neither I am fully knowledgeable about. When I am working on myself in my studio its fine, but If I am to be working on clients in the future I would prefer to have a team so that I can bounce ideas around with and have them bring their own skill into the areas that I lack. My makeups can look amazing in person, but if I don't know how to style my models hair correctly, or how to get the right lighting on a set, it can throw off the entire looks and really take away from it. So to have a team of creative minds, where each person specializes in their field, would be amazing."
What do you consider your biggest success in this process?
"My biggest success is my own growth and confidence in myself. As much as I loved creating different looks I really didn't take it seriously for a long time. I wasn't sure I could really go any where with it. I would make a lot of excuses as to why I couldn't do something. Or why it wasn't working for me without putting all my effort in first. There was a point where I almost didn't want to continue because I didn't think I could get any better. It felt like I had been in the same spot for years. However, I felt that I needed to try and put my full effort into it and more confidence into myself as an artist before I decided it wasn't for me. And as soon as I did I began seeing more and more improvements. I focused less on what i thought I had to have or needed and more on what I could accomplish and improve on. I still have so much more I can move forward with, but just getting to this point has been a huge turning point for my business."
"There are certainly a few challenges that come with this field. They are all equally difficult at times. But I think motivation to continue making art is a constant roller coaster ride .
I haven't yet reached the point in this business to support my self enough to not have to work. A lot of artists, including myself still work two jobs, if not more, and have to try and find time in between work and life to sit down and create. On top of that, with social media, it is so easy to be constantly comparing yourself to other artists. Sometimes, it can feel like you just cant keep up with everyone else. And it makes you question if you're in the right field.
But at the end of the day, its never really something that stops me for long. I just have to know that, yes it may be frustrating at times, but the negative thoughts will pass, and when they do I create some of my best work."
What is your favorite or most rewarding part of this business?
"I think my favorite part of this job is just how creatively free I can be! There is no exact way to do anything or any rules I have to follow when I create a look! And I love that!"
What are some of your favorite "looks" to do?
"I love creating funky and unique creatures! My "Dragon-Fruit" look is a great example of that! Anything that lets me make use of bright and bold colors! I also tend to lean towards skulls a lot because every time I create one they always come out a little different! And of course post apocalyptic theme has always been a favorite. Anything zombie or survivor/warrior style is right up my alley. I recently created a look for a makeup contest that mixed bright colors, skulls, and post-apocalypse all in one! It has become one of my personal favorites I have ever created."
So you're making Meghan into a mermaid, can you tell us a little bit about what you'll be using?
"Whenever I do body painting I use my water based body paints, they are amazing! Super easy to apply, safe for the skin, and really lightweight and comfortable. Which is really important, especially when you have to wear the makeup for a long time! I have always use the Mehron brand. However, there are several options out there! I use the water based paints for the base colors and the painted in details!
I will also be using a selection of glitters, gems, and other props to really help pull the mystical idea of the look together!"
There's A Button For That!
A few months back I brought up all the ways that Facebook has started to change their algorithm, now to add to their everlasting expansion they have completely begun enhancing their privacy settings. As 2018 continues into the crazy summer months the possibilities to keep your personal lives private are endless. In new news you can get an update of your privacy settings with a new feature called Privacy check-up. I have found this feature to be extremely important lately especially with just recently graduating this past Sunday. I can't have my whole college life online for the world to see forever! Or can I? A few centimeters away from the "Home" button, you can click the blue question mark icon which drops down to a variety of new buttons, one of them being the Privacy check-up button. Basically you're able to see three of the most important things on your profile, quickly enough without searching through your "About me" info or any other confusing sections.
It allows you to look at a few different features that show you how your profile is doing over all, and how much or how little it is actually hiding.
It will show you who is viewing your post, what Applications that are known as third parties that can see all of your information-and which ones cannot.
And you can control what parts about you that people are viewing. Can your friends see your age? Can your grandmother see your new job posting? Yes? Can your ex see where you work? No? Perfect!!
These settings have about five different choices that you can pick. Choosing to have the "Public" to view it, "Your friends", "Your friends except…" that one crazy coworker that stalks your every move, "Specific Friends" only your besties from college and no one else, or "Only Me". Once you decipher who is viewing what and where, you can check to see how your overall profile is appearing to the public spectrum and even choose if you want people to be able to send friend requests to your or nt. You could set it just so that you can send and message people, and if you don't accept their friend request then there is legitimately no way for them to contact you. This is helpful for those of us that have our full name or a variation of our full name on our profile, and do not want to be contacted by certain viewers. This makes your profile more filtered and safer, that way you're in total control over who has the ability to stay in touch with you. Right underneath the heading that says Privacy Checkup you see Privacy Shortcuts. The shortcut section is where you can decide who can contact or friend request you, and how you can stop someone from really bothering you. If someone is really irking your nerves you can block not only their name, but their email address too. This way you're able to prevent them from contacting you no matter what they have their Facebook linked to.
You can make yourself invisible, in other words limit who can even look you up, when you make your Facebook page you have to enter in just about anything they ask for… this includes your email, your phone number, your first and last name, your birthday, and if anyone that knows you enters in any of those things then there you are. You're found. They might not be able to add or message you depending on how you have everything set up, but they can still physically see you, and if we really don't want that then here's how to fix it. Something that could really make or break a difference and that sounds so serious is actually super simple to do. Again, if you go to the little question mark button and click Privacy Shortcuts à See More Settings à in the "How People Find and Contact You" heading; there's a little spot that says "Who can look you up using your email, phone number, etc. GENIUS!!
Oh but I'm not done yet, you can even have your profile kept off search engines, like Yahoo, Bing and Google. Personally I didn't even know this could happen, but believe me. If you're online, even when you're off you're still on. You can fix this though! Have you ever heard the Apple commercial, with the slogan "There's an App for that!" well, with Facebooks new privacy settings, There's a button for that! If you follow the same steps that you did to ensure how individuals contact you, you can go to the same place to turn off access for search engines. Just switch the "Yes" to a "NO" ☺.
Connecting online is so important in this day and age, so hopefully now that you have a few extra tricks up your sleeve you'll feel a little better about it knowing how private you can really keep your life while still being public!
Don't forget to follow us on Facebook @chikmedia and let us know what you think about all these new privacy hacks!
Laurel Ryan is the owner and creator of the Cape company Nautically Northern. A local and lovely jewelry brand right on Cape Cod. The beautiful crafted pieces are all designed to help you show off what means the most to you. Each item is hand stamped, which makes no two piece of jewelry alike. "In the past year and a half, we have been able to donate over $2000 to the Red Cross and expand distribution to over 20 stores in 5 states, with more being added all the time. We hope to keep growing and be able to partner with more charities in the future." It truly is such a beautiful and selfless thing when a passion can also turn into helping others. Laurel has invested so much time and care into her work, it's hard to believe that she is really a one-woman show.
"My big picture for my entrepreneurial endeavors is to grow Nautically Northern into a recognizable national brand!"
How did you originally get involved in this practice?
"I was interested in starting a business and after being inspired by some jewelry that I saw in shops on the Cape, I decided to start my own line. After a few trial and error runs, I got the hang of it and started making pieces for friends and family. The reaction that I received was so positive that I decided that I was going to turn the jewelry into a business."
Is there a story behind the name Nautically Northern?
"At first I wanted to start a business designing nautical themed T-shirts. It was hard finding someone to bring my sketches to life so then Nautically Northern turned into a hand stamped jewelry company."
What motivated you to want to become a business owner?
"I love being able to control my own success. I also love being able to empower whoever wears my jewelry. The business has allowed me to meet so many incredible people that I am always excited to work."
"My biggest challenge is being a one-person operation. Family and friends help out when I really need it, but the majority of the work is done by me. I also have a full-time job and teach Zumba two nights a week, so balancing everything I want to do with Nautically Northern has resulted in some sleepless nights."
"My biggest success actually just occurred a few days ago. I was accepted into the handmade collection at AmericasMart in Atlanta this July. Exhibiting at AmericasMart will hopefully help Nautically Northern get into some of our target market areas that we have not been able to reach yet."
What sets you apart from other homemade jewelry companies?
"The fact that all of our items can be customized and the fact that we donate money from all purchases back to the Red Cross is really what sets us apart."
I noticed that your company has a strong partnership with Red Cross, can you elaborate a little more on this? How did this come to be?
"When I was in college I served on the Red Cross Blood Services Board of Directors as the Student Representative. When I graduated I was asked to sit on the South Eastern Mass, Cape and Island Board of Directors. Since joining the board I have been able to work with the Service to Armed Forced, Disaster Relief, and the Blood Service divisions of the Red Cross. I am currently a Supervisor for the Barnstable, Plymouth, and Bristol County Disaster Action Teams. We provide emergency relief to individuals in need after a disaster. The American Red Cross does so much more than just blood donations which I think most people do not know about. So many people that I have met have their own stories about how the Red Cross has touched their lives; from a blood recipient to someone who has received disaster assistance, to a solider that has been able to come home from duty for an emergency at home. As a business owner, I wanted to be able to give back to a cause that touches so many peoples lives across the nation and the world including my own."
On the "Where to Buy" page, you're in a variety of stores (love it), so does this mean any order that you need custom made is placed directly on the website? Do you pick it up in store or is it delivered?
"All of the stores listed on the "Where to Buy" page have all of their own lines. We work with shops to create custom collections tailored to their customers. Some may have items we offer on the website but many times they will have a custom saying that they have requested. We have taken custom orders from shops for customers as well. In that case, the shop will take the order, we will send it to the shop and the customer can come pick it up in store."
"We will be at Provincetown Fashion Week as part of their Accessories Opening Party and all of the LoveLocal Fests this year. We have a few more events in the works that we will have on our site as soon as they are confirmed! Our brand new Home Collection will be available at all the events this summer."
"Don't give up, success doesn't happen overnight. Just because it hasn't gone the way you wanted to, doesn't mean you should quit. Stick with it, stay positive, and keep working and it will happen."
This summer is going to be full of unforgettable memories, so you might as well look fabulous while creating them!
We cannot wait to see what she'll have in store for everyone in the next coming months.
See you next Wednesday when we issue our weekly post on Chikchat!
May 5th is right around the corner, and for most it is a day that is celebrated by gathering with loved ones, to eat drink and be merry. You always hear the term "Cinco de Drinko!" but what are you actually celebrating for? I have noticed over the years that people use this day just to formulate their own festivities, but if you actually understood what it was about there would be so more many things to be cheering for. Therefore you would really have something to celebrate, eat drink and be merry about. Cinco de Mayo is an amazing holiday that is actually celebrated because it is observed to honor and remember the Mexican Army's victory over the French Empire, at the Battle of Puebla in 1862. Without the symbolic victory, you really would have no reason to celebrate the fifth of May in the first place. This day always seems to be filled with happiness and good memories, so it's important that we appreciate it just a little more. It's commonly misunderstood, and if you asked around during this time what this day meant, most reply that it is Mexico's Independence Day which is completely wrong (it happens to be September 16th). This holiday is celebrated just about everywhere you look, it's posted about on the web, on social media apps, and there are newscasts raving about the beautiful festivals and endless smiles that it brings. So before you pop the champs, make sure you know what you're popping them for!
How to make it: In a blender, combine the rice and warm water. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until the rice breaks up but does not form a powder. Let the rice mixture stand in the refrigerator for 6 hours or up to overnight. Strain the rice mixture into a container through a fine-mesh sieve or several layers of cheesecloth to remove the rice solids. Pour the rice water into a blender and add the milk, vanilla and almond extracts, cinnamon, and sugar. Blend for 1 minute until well combined and smooth. Serve the Horchata over ice with cinnamon sticks as stirrers.
How to make it: Combine the salt and chili powder in a small bowl and transfer to a flat plate. Rub a lime wedge around the rim of each beer mug and dip it into the chili-salt to coat the rim. Squeeze the juice of 4 lime wedges into each mug. Add a lime wedge to the mug and fill with ice. Add 1 bottle of beer, a dash of hot sauce and a dash of Worcestershire sauce and serve immediately.
How to make it: Combine 3 cups guava nectar, 1 cup milk, 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla and 3 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl; add 3 cups frozen mango chunks. Working in batches, puree in a blender until smooth and frothy. Divide among small glasses.
How to make it: Bring 1 cup of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add the lime gelatin and stir until the gelatin dissolves. Pour into a liquid measuring cup and mix in the orange liqueur and tequila. Then cut the limes in half lengthwise and scoop the flesh out of both halves. Place each half in the cups of a mini muffin tin and pour the gelatin mixture into each half. Place the muffin tin in the fridge until set. Cut each half into 2 wedges, sprinkle with salt and shoot! Super cute, super fun, super festive.
How to make it: Fill a goblet or rocks glass with ice cubes. Add the tequila and a dash of Campari to give the drink a slight blush and balance the sweetness of the soda. Top off with the grapefruit soda. Skewer the fruit and stir into the cocktail. Serve with a plate of wedged pineapple, a small bowl of your favorite chili powder, and coarse salt, for dipping!
As always, if you are 21+ and plan on partying (and possibly dartying) this weekend, please do so safely!
With Uber, your first ride is always free- and local cabs are always just a phone call away!

As Dems Prepare to Debate in Michigan, Poll Finds Majority in Key Swing State Oppose 'Medicare for All'
Joe Biden holds his ground, but can he withstand attacks from the left on healthcare?
As Democratic presidential candidates prepare for the second round of debates in Detroit next week, the party is hoping the candidate who ends up winning the nomination in 2020 will fare better in Michigan than Hillary Clinton, who managed to lose to reliably blue state to Donald Trump by 10,704 votes, thanks in no small part to bumbling incompetence.
A recent poll, however, suggests that Michigan voters are not on board with the healthcare proposals championed by many of the leading candidates in the field. A survey of likely Michigan voters published this week found that a majority opposes a "Medicare for All" policy that would eliminate private health insurance and replace it with a government-run, single-payer system.
According to the poll, 52 percent of likely voters in Michigan oppose Medicare for All, with nearly 40 percent saying they "strongly oppose" the idea. Just 37 percent of likely voters said they support it.
NEW: As Dems prep for Detroit debate, poll shows majority of Michigan voters oppose Medicare for All plan that would eliminate private insurance (37%-52%) https://t.co/8V7nk2OW9X pic.twitter.com/oehcHm4HSz
— Jonathan Oosting (@jonathanoosting) July 25, 2019
The most vocal proponent of a single-payer, "Medicare for All" system is Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.), who is currently in second place among primary candidates, according to the Real Clear Politics polling average. Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D., Mass.) and Kamala Harris (D., Calif.), who are closing in on Sanders in the polls, have both expressed support for Medicare for All, albeit with varying degrees of vagueness and incoherence.
Voters skepticism is presumably why a number of Democratic governors across the country, and especially in the Midwest, have been reluctant to embrace Medicare for All amid concerns that the party is veering too far to the left on a host of issues.
Healthcare promises to feature prominently at next week's debate in Detroit, where frontrunner Joe Biden will almost certainly be targeted by rivals for his reluctance to support Medicare for All. Biden has expressed increasingly vocal opposition to proposals that would effectively scrap Obamacare and eliminate the private insurance market. He's even running ads implicitly attacking rival Democrats who disagree with him on healthcare.

Chelsea have reportedly joined Italian champions Juventus in the race to sign Roma teenager Nicolo Zaniolo.
The 19-year-old wonderkid has established himself as one of the top prospects on the continent after enjoying an impressive breakthrough campaign at the Stadio Olimpico.
The Old Lady have been strongly linked with Zaniolo and, according to Tuttosport, chief-executive Fabio Paratici was in the Spanish capital on Wednesday to hold talks with the midfielder's agent Claudio Vigorelli.
However, the report indicates that Premier League giants Chelsea have also set their eyes on acquiring the Italy Under-21s international's signature.
Zaniolo, who is valued at around £43m – has made his first appearance for Roma during 3-0 loss to Real Madrid in September – another club touted as a future destination for the teenager – and he has gone on to make 23 appearances in all competitions.

Nouvelle américaine parue en 1912
Œuvre littéraire se déroulant au Canada


Viral gastrointestinal (GI) viruses can be especially worrisome for a person living with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. GI viruses affect the GI tract – the stomach and intestine (i.e., 'gut') – resulting in abdominal pain/discomfort, nausea, vomiting, intestinal pain/discomfort, cramps and diarrhea. Thank goodness they usually have a 'short course,' most lasting less than 24 hours. Read below to learn more about steps you can take if you get one of these viruses.
What should I do if I am/my child is vomiting or has horrible diarrhea?
If you/your child is taking daily corticosteroids, steroid doses should not be missed for more than 24 hours.* Missing more than 24 hours of corticosteroids can result in acute adrenal insufficiency, or adrenal crisis, which can be a life-threatening condition.
IV steroid dosing to replace the missed oral steroid dose.
Emergency steroid recommendations can be found on PPMD's website, the PPMD emergency card, and the PPMD mobile app.
A GI virus is most likely a "minor stress" to the body, and will not require stress dosing of steroids. If stress dosing is needed, stress doses can be found in the PJ Nicholoff Steroid Protocol (download). If you are concerned, contact either your primary care or neuromuscular care provider.
*24 hours from when the last dose was due. For example: If you are due to take a dose at 7am Monday, and miss it, you should get a dose in before 7am Tuesday or seek medical attention if that is not possible.
While dehydration is a worry, it is really important to 'rest' an unhappy GI tract. If there is vomiting, please do not try to eat or drink anything until vomiting has stopped for at least an hour.
When vomiting has stopped for at least an hour, reintroduce fluids very slowly, starting with ice chips or sips of clear liquids.
After at least 2 hours of no vomiting, reintroduce foods very slowly, starting with very small amounts of very bland foods (crackers, toast, etc.).
If vomiting continues longer than 24 hours, or if you are concerned, contact your primary care provider.
The major complication of GI viruses is dehydration. Signs of dehydration can differ with the age of the person.
Fever is a natural defense mechanism of the body to get rid of bacteria and viruses.
If you or your child is vomiting, do not give medications to bring down the fever (ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol)) until you/your child is able to tolerate liquids.
Fevers below 100 degrees Fahrenheit do not need to be treated; if the fever is above 101 degrees Fahrenheit, or a fever that is lasting longer than 8-12 hours, contact your primary care provider.
With vomiting, there is a risk for aspiration that can lead to pneumonia. This becomes especially dangerous for older people with Duchenne who cannot turn their head to the side, sit up or roll over when vomiting.
It is extremely important that extreme caution is taken by caregivers to do as much as possible to prevent aspiration during these episodes.
If you think that you/your child has the flu, learn more here.

El Receptari de Manresa és un manuscrit de receptes de l'apotecari Bernat Despujol, redactades entre els anys 1347 i 1348. Inclou un total de 277 receptes per a 140 clients. Aquest manuscrit es troba a l'Arxiu Comarcal del Bages.

L'arxiver manresà Leonci Soler i March dona nom al manuscrit que s'havia trobat en un lligall de 140 fulls. Els primers 47 fulls d'aquest lligall s'anomenen, a partir de llavors, Receptari de Manresa. L'arxiver redacta un article que es publica el 1892 a la revista manresana Setmanari català per fer pública aquesta troballa tant valuosa, ja que es tracta d'un dels pocs manuscrits amb receptes del .

L'article de seguida va tenir ressò fent que el 1899 el metge barceloní i historiador de la medicina catalana Lluís Comenge i Ferrer publiqués l'article: "Comunicación relativa á un manuscrito del siglo XIV, titulado Llibre de receptes" En: Revista de ciencias médicas de Barcelona, Año XXV, 10 Abril 1899, Núm. 7, p. 249-256.

El metge manresà Oleguer Miró i Borràs també se'n feu ressò en una conferència el 2 de novembre de 1899 i en una altra, el 10 de juny de 1911, amb el títol Receptari de Manresa i la mort de l'infant Jaume, comte d'Urgell. En aquesta segona conferència destacava les cinc receptes del manuscrit fetes per a l'infant Jaume, germà de Pere el Cerimoniós.

Pel que fa a les substàncies utilitzades en la confecció de les receptes, la majoria pertanyen al regne vegetal, unes quantes al regne animal i molt poques al regne mineral. Del que s'anomena components simples trobem, en més quantitat, l'anís, la borraina, el fonoll, la malva, la menta i la viola. Però també hi ha substàncies que en Bernat Despujol obtenia del comerç amb l'Orient Llunyà, com l'àloe, el fruit de la canyafístula, la canyella, el corall, el sàndal i el gingebre.

Key Steps to Help Your Business Survive Shutdown
Paul Browne
Paul Browne shares an article on stress testing and cash management as a means to help business survive another COVID-19 shutdown.
Cash Management and Stress Testing
The full force of the COVID-19 pandemic is now hitting the UK with most businesses either completely shut down or working well below capacity. Most law firms are in the latter category. The key challenge for managing partners, after ensuring the safety and well-being of staff, is to ensure the firm survives this hiatus, which couldn't have come at a worse time with most firms year-ends fast approaching.
They need to ensure their firm's cash flow is secure, that they stay within their credit facilities, and that the firm is able to trade profitably, if not immediately, then in the near future to ensure compliance with the SRA Code of Conduct for Firms, specifically:
2.4 You actively monitor your financial stability and business viability.
3.6 You notify the SRA promptly of any serious financial difficulty relating to you.
Firms should prioritise the collection and conservation of cash.
However, this can only effectively be done against the backdrop of an up to date cash flow forecast which is regularly stress-tested for a number of different scenarios, including the loss of significant time recording at least over the next three months, a dearth of new client instructions and clients, similarly, experiencing severe financial pressures, either unable to settle bills or looking for more favourable terms.
Key points include:
Collecting and conserving cash
Talking to your bank
Alternative funding

Avoid these 21 Business Continuity Mistakes
David Burnie
David Burnie's company has published a timely blog on the 21 common mistakes many companies make when rolling out their business continuity plan.
A business continuity plan is essential for preventing and recovering from emergencies and incidents that can disrupt a business.
We recently shared our top 13 priorities for a strong BCP. While not having a BCP is a sure-fire pitfall to successful business continuity, there are other things to keep in mind. Here are some of the common pitfalls to look out for when executing business continuity plans.
The mistakes covered in the article include:
Business continuity preparation
Communication approach
Systems failover

Strategic Actions to Manage Current Situation
Luca Ottinetti
Luca Ottinetti provides an article that reflects on past recessionary crises to help business leaders move through the current situation productively with examples of strategies from TMSC, Ford, AB InBev, Home Depot, and Verizon among others.
Managing through a recessionary crisis requires more than laying low and waiting for the storm to blow over. It takes proactive management to prepare and then take advantage of the general economic weakness.
Recessions come from different starting events, for example (1) stagflation from OPEC's quadrupling oil prices in 1973-1975, (2) the Fed's elevated interest rates to combat inflation in 1981-1982, (3) the savings and loan crisis in 1989, (4) the boom and bust of the dot.com businesses in 2001, and (5) the sub-prime mortgages in 2007. Today, a recession is starting to take hold, triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether V-shaped, U-shaped, or L-shaped remains a subject of speculation. But the real question now is: What needs to be done today
to get through this crisis and come out ahead?
Areas covered include:
Expanding market share

A Framework for Responding to COVID-19
Andrew Hone
Andrew Hone's company has developed a 6-week program which takes businesses through each step of our three-stage framework for responding to COVID-19.
COVID-19 represents a formidable challenge to businesses of all sizes. Necessary policy responses have caused significant disruption to the global economy, with simultaneous demand, supply and financial shocks. Most businesses are experiencing a sharp decline in near-term revenue, requiring actions to mitigate the impact on cash flows and potentially to secure additional funding.
Based on our own experiences with clients on turnaround and performance improvement programs, we have developed a strategic framework to assist businesses in working through their response to COVID-19. There are three key elements to this framework:
Ensuring immediate business continuity
Securing the near-term financial viability of the business
Positioning the business for medium-term strategic opportunities

Are We Prepared?
James W Bowen
James Bowen takes a look ahead to the end of this year, and shares his thoughts on four likely scenarios that may come to pass.
Today we live in an environment of extreme uncertainty. More than 26 million Americans who had jobs a month ago are now unemployed. No one can tell you whether that number will be bigger or smaller a month from now. We have seen negative prices for the West Texas Intermediate oil contract, but that same barrel traded yesterday for $28.82 for December delivery, giving a tremendous premium to anyone who can store crude oil. As I previously posted, the expectations of risk priced into equity markets have unquestionably increased; it's difficult even to estimate how much, because any estimate of future cash flows at this point is mostly guesswork. Point estimates are worthless and even probability distributions of future outcomes are likely based on shifting sands.
The four outcomes explored are:
Stagflation
Prolonged Recession
Robust Recovery

How to Put Your Business Back on Track after COVID-19
While the businesses community is working hard to deal with the current difficulties of the COVID-19 pandemic, the next step is recovery. This post from David Burnie's company shares ten priorities for a strong business recovery and business continuity plan.
With the spread of COVID-19 and the establishment of corresponding emergency measures, now is a crucial time for organizations to review and update their business continuity plan. While the organizations fortunate enough to transition to a work from home strategy are just adapting to this new way of working, the next phase of the COVID-19 pandemic will quickly be upon us. High absenteeism will soon become the norm due to sickness and the need to care for loved ones who are ill.
We expect that the COVID-19 pandemic will result in business interruptions for at least six to eight months, with a worst-case scenario of interruptions lasting for twelve to twenty-four months. With that in mind, we are sharing our top ten considerations for planning, developing and executing a business continuity plan and a business recovery plan.
The steps covered include:
Establish clear succession planning and assignment of authority
Prepare for reductions in resource availability
Plan for large swings in demand
Establish rules to triage requests
Ensure critical systems are redundant
