The Vermont Business Expo will take place all day at the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel Burlington (formally the Sheraton).
This year's finalists exemplify the resourcefulness, innovation and success of Vermont's statewide businesses. They all share a dedication to their employees, communities and Vermont's natural environment. Each represents a unique story of vision, commitment and growth.
Celebrating their 45th year since starting as a buying club in the Old North End of Burlington, City Market Onion River Co-op is a consumer cooperative, with over 13,000 Members, selling wholesome food and other products, while building a vibrant, empowered community and a healthier world, all in a sustainable manner. Now with two locations, one in Downtown Burlington and their new location in the South End of Burlington.
Kalow Technologies has several strong connections to former Governor Davis' legacy. Shortly after REDC and the City of Rutland opened the regional industrial park in North Clarendon, a small company called Kalow Controls moved in as the second business there in the mid-1980s. As they grew and expanded over the next four decades, they continued to be a strong, valued contributor to the area's economy, community, and larger environment.
Vermont Mutual Insurance Group is proud that their strategy produces results that are closely aligned with the Deane C Davis Standards of Excellence.
They support a comprehensive recycling program. Over the past 5 years Vermont Mutual has increased sales 41%, have grown their policyholder surplus by 61% and increased their customer base to 307,000 customers. Vermont Mutual has added 52 full-time employees in the past 5 years, a 24% increase. In 2017 Vermont Mutual contributed over $300,000 through their Vermont Mutual Charitable Giving Fund to 125 worthy organizations in the communities where they live, work and do business.
To recognize and honor Vermont's best companies, Vermont Business Magazine and the Vermont Chamber created the Deane C Davis Outstanding Business of the Year Award in 1990.
Named for the former Governor of Vermont, this annual award honors a Vermont business that shows an outstanding history of sustained growth while displaying an acute awareness of what makes Vermont unique. Commitment to the environment and dedication to employee relations are key components to receiving the award.

Xpede launches rapid delivery of a different category of items not seen in the USA
Nov 21, 2022 | Technology
Californians can now have on-demand delivery or pick up of personal belongings, packages and envelopes
GARDEN GROVE, CA, November 21, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ — Xpede recently launches its on-demand delivery app for IOS and Android on the Apple and Play Stores. The first of its kind app in the United States will provide rapid delivery and pick up of personal belongings (like keys, cell phones, dry cleaners, apparels, office files, etc.), packages (60 lbs. & under), and envelopes (regular and legal). It starts with servicing Southern California, which comprises of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego and Imperial Counties, and expects to expand to the entire State next year (2023).
Rapid or on-demand delivery emerges as a multi-billion dollars industry with food and grocery delivery leading the market. With the lockdown during the peak of Covid-19, it had exerted the industry service into an essential and daily use by the consumers as millions ordered foods and groceries delivered to their doorsteps. In 2021, the rapid delivery industry quadruples its revenue to $4.7 billion from the year before (2020), which was $1.1 billion. Investors, like Venture Capitalist Firms, also felt that this was the future of delivery and invested $14 billion into over fifty (50) companies in 2021. See – https://www.businessofapps.com/data/rapid-delivery-app-market
With such a fast-growing industry, Xpede becomes one of its newest members by providing the rapid delivery of certain items, like personal belongings, not seen in the United States. Although the delivery of personal belongings is not a new concept in the world as such service is available in country like India, it is certainly not known or seen in the US – particularly in California. It is an intriguing concept since most of us have forgotten keys, cell phones, wallets, etc. and needed help with pick up and delivery of it, or needed help with picking up our dry cleaners. One question that arises – is it safe to use? Xpede's answer is "Yes." With its delivery verification code feature, one can feel safe and secure that the item(s) will be delivered to him/her.
Xpede not only provides the delivery of personal belongings to local consumers and businesses, it also provides on-demand delivery of packages and envelopes. What is unique about this part of Xpede's service is that it provides rapid delivery or pick up of legal documents to the legal field that is not seen before in the industry. Moreover, Xpede app has features that is quite convenient for consumers and businesses, such as "Pay by Recipient" (where the Recipient is requested to pay for the delivery order) or "Instant Invoice" (where the User can instantly download and print the invoice to use as a label). What is also important and worth mentioning is that gig drivers now have an option to deliver items besides foods, groceries, and alcohols.
Xpede, Inc. is California corporation. It is an innovative app company that provides fast, reliable and affordable delivery of personal belongings, envelopes and packages to local communities and businesses. For more information, please visit Xpede website at www.Xpede.net.

How to Succeed in Business
Alumni leaders from HubSpot and PayPal visit campus, share lessons
halligan2.jpg
"Think big," Brian Halligan '90 told an audience at his talk on campus in October, as he reflected on his experience starting HubSpot, a maker of inbound marketing and sales software. "We swung hard. I would encourage that." (Photo: Sally McCay)
UVM alumni return often to their alma mater to share experiences with today's students. This past semester's guests included Robert Clarkson '88, PayPal general manager for North America, and Brian Halligan '90, CEO and co-founder of HubSpot. Read on for a distillation of their insights on building a career in business and making the most of your college years.
Brian Halligan '90
Think big, then think bigger
I would think big. A lot of entrepreneurs coming out of UVM don't think big enough. One of the things that we were inspired by is we wanted to build a California-style company in Boston. We wanted to build something like an Apple or a Google or an Amazon, something big and ambitious. From the beginning, we were ambitious about our vision, about who we hired, ambitious about how much money we raised and how much dilution we could take. We swung hard. I would encourage that. If you're going to do it, do it.
The lasting impact of Vermont
The culture in Vermont is very different than the culture in Boston or New York, and I'm not saying it's better or worse, but people are really friendly and nice up here. That has had a big influence on me. There's a little bit of Vermont that has stuck with me. I wanted to take a little bit of Vermont, being nice and friendly and sociable, and combine it with my technical skills. That sort of mix has been very helpful for me.
I was an electrical engineering major with a biomedical option. I took a ton of electrical engineering courses, math, physics, biology, chemistry. There are technical skills I learned, and I use them all the time. I took computer science classes that were early and raw, but useful. I can speak like an engineer to our engineers.
Tips for the entrepreneurial student
Starting a company early in your life or career is a good thing. At school, you're in a very inspiring environment to start a company. And, pick a really good cofounder, someone who complements you. My co-founder Dharmesh is really technical, and I'm more on the business side, and we're sort of this one plus one equals three. The leading cause of death in startups is co-founder conflict.
Robert Clarkson '88
On Silicon Valley culture
Some might misperceive laid-back behavior as being non-motivated. There is enormous motivation, enormous pressure, and a constant sense of urgency to innovate. If you went to Silicon Valley thinking that it's all foosball tables, ping-pong, beer on Fridays, that would be under-selling that sense of urgency and accountability you have to have to make a major impact. You know that the mission never stops, so therefore the job never stops. But it is an absolutely thrilling place to work.
The virtues of a broad education
I loved the balance I found at UVM. In addition to my business courses, I took a lot of English classes and worked on set designs for the Royall Tyler Theatre. I didn't know what I wanted to be when I was in college, but I was smart enough to know what I didn't know. I realized that I didn't have it all figured out and thought the wider the influences and education I got was going to be better for me in the long run. It worked out that way, and I still feel that way. The world isn't single-threaded.
You can't go it alone
At work I'm motivated by other people's success. I feel best when I can get somebody on my team promoted or they get more responsibility. I feel like that's my mission as their leader. Or when I can help a merchant grow their business and satisfy their customers' needs, I feel like that's a pretty good day. In Silicon Valley, there's a strong ethic that advancement is in the collective, not the individual sense—the thinking is "we" not "me."
On lifelong learning and creativity
Looking back when I was a student, I think I thought that the working world was going to be like some sort of Dickens novel or a Pink Floyd video where you're shuffling off to contribute to the machine. But that same sense of joy of discovery and camaraderie that you have while at the university can continue throughout your career. The university creates the platform to be successful. But, in fact, the peak of your curiosity and your agility is after you graduate.

BIBA Delegates Visit HealthBeacon in Dublin
News / By Sharifah Sarhan
HealthBeacon, a Dublin and Boston based medication adherence technology company that develops Smart Tools for Managing Medication welcomed the Boston Irish Business Association (BIBA) and its 2019 trade mission delegation to it's Dublin headquarters on Monday, December 2nd.
The purpose of the trade mission is to look at the potential for transatlantic collaboration in order to strengthen links between businesses in Ireland and Boston. The trade mission was led by Laura Hamilton, who is the newly appointed CEO of HealthBeacon's North American operations.
"As President of the Boston Irish Business Association, it was my distinct pleasure to lead an impressive delegation on a Trade Mission across the island of Ireland visiting Belfast, Derry, Donegal, Dublin, Kildare and Cork. A highlight was visiting HealthBeacon HQ in Dublin. It's been an incredible few weeks since joining the team as their new CEO of North America." says Hamilton.
HealthBeacon members welcomed the Boston Irish Business Association (BIBA) and its 2019 trade mission delegation BIBA to their facility. HealthBeacon's CEO, Jim Joyce guided delegates around the HQ touring the Data labs which has a dedicated Data Analyst team serving up valuable actionable insights and analysis, the production lab where the HealthBeacon units are assembled and configured and it's enthusiastic customer service team which supports the HB offering to patients.
"Having the BIBA delegation visit HealthBeacon in Dublin truly showcases the value of growing international business relationships, sustaining the effort, and then capitalizing on opportunities as a result of the endeavor." Says Hamilton.
HealthBeacon's technology has been adopted across 13 countries with over 300,000 injections tracked since its launch in 2014 and a patient acceptance rate of 80-90%. For patients that are treated on chronic injectable therapy for conditions that range from Multiple Sclerosis, Crohns Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Asthma, to Severe Migraines many of them fail on therapy due to non-adherence. The data is clear that without support between 40-50% of patients will fail on therapy in the first year.
HealthBeacon's Smart Sharps Technology has demonstrated a 25-30% increase within twelve months of initiating therapy. The key to their success is the powerful simplicity of their technology and how it easily integrates into the patient's routine and the prescribing clinician's workflow.

After you've decided to create a living trust you need to take the next step: funding. Funding means transferring some of your property to the living trust so the trust itself becomes the new owner. While you should speak to your estate planning lawyer about what property you should transfer and how you need to do it, here are some general principles you will need to be ready to face.
For most people their home or other real estate investments represent their largest single asset. To transfer real estate to a living trust, you will need to transfer ownership and title of the property. Depending on the state where the property is located, this may require you to take a range of specific steps. For real estate, it's typically best to let your lawyer handle the details.
Transferring a bank account to a living trust is relatively straightforward. Most banks will require you to fill out a transfer form and perhaps have it notarized. Some banks, especially small or local banks, may require you to appear in person and speak to a bank officer.
Similar to banks, investment banks or brokerages will also require you to complete some minimal paperwork before you transfer your assets to the trust. In some situations you may have to sign a signature guarantee, a document that you sign in the presence of someone with signature guarantee certification. If this is required, you can ask your bank where you can do this.

I don't understand it, she said. There are jobs here; there are airplanes.
There was reticence, like the film in seventh-grade science of the glass of milk, the drop coming from above. Slow motion.
The wondering! What would the drop do? What would it displace? There would be ripples. Would there also be tumbling over the side? Would there be momentum? Could it be said that inevitability had any part to play?
In the theater of autumn, most birds are not finding the feeder. There is a ribbon on it now, but the miscellaneous small brown birds still peck at the bark of the dead tree it hangs from.
Fine, she thinks. Let them starve.
The cats, lean with old resentments, patrol below.
I am letting things happen again. No one knows this, because I am the man -- because I am the one to whom it historically falls to Get Things Done. But let me tell you: Everything works out eventually. And let me tell you this: I did not mean for anything to die.
When I am overwhelmed by circumstance, I let things go. I start letting. There is blood on a regular basis. She covers it up, pretends it isn't there. You can't pretend things aren't there that are. You have to let things happen. So I let them.
I feel I am not entirely understood. I don't like to force things. So I am quiet. If it dies, it dies. Then who's to say it was ever alive?

Q: Angular - Diferencia entre Observable y Promise Tengo entendido que un Observable es una promesa pero con filtros para poder realizar llamadas asíncronas sin tener que realizar muchas peticiones.
Creo que entiendo el concepto pero no lo tengo claro en la práctica.
¿Además de un buscador de palabras que otros ejemplos usarías un Observable y en qué otros un  Promise?

A: Promise
Una Promise maneja un evento único cuando una operación asíncrona se completa o falla.
Hay bibliotecas de Promise por ahí que admiten cancelación, pero ES6 Promise no lo ha hecho hasta ahora. Por lo menos no que yo haya encontrado todavía.
Observable
Un Observable es un flujo de datos (Stream en otro lenguajes) y permite pasar cero o más eventos donde se invoca un callback para cada evento.
A menudo Observable se prefiere antes que Promise porque proporciona las características de Promise y mucho más. Con Observable no importa si querés manejar 0, 1 o varios eventos. Podés utilizar la misma API en cada caso.
Observable también tiene la ventaja sobre Promise de que se puede cancelar. Si el resultado de una solicitud HTTP a un servidor o alguna otra operación asíncrona costosa ya no es necesaria, la Suscription de un Observable permite cancelar la suscripción, mientras que una Promise eventualmente llamará al callback de éxito o rechazo, incluso si ya no lo necesitás mas.
Observable proporciona operadores como map(), forEach(), reduce(), ... similar a un array
También hay operadores poderosos como retry(), o replay(), que a menudo son muy útiles.
En mi caso, cuando empecé a usar Observable, me olvidé totalmente de Promise.
Espero que sea clara la explicación, en caso contrario, no dudes en preguntar todo lo que necesites.

A: Te dejo un articulo muy interesante sobre que es, y como se usa el observable.
Espero te sea de ayuda :)

The project was kindly supported by: 'Cine Qua Non' film shop, Amsterdams Fonds voor de Kunst, VSB Fonds, and Stadsdeel Oud-West Amsterdam.

Vrhovec Sambolec, Inga Zimprich, and 66East.
The project consisted of seven parts.
In order to research the present status of beauty – understanding beauty not in terms of an object's internal quality but in terms of its effect on the beholder – PSWAR invited 94 persons of different professions and different backgrounds to submit lists of items or things that have inspired them professionally and privately. The result was a very personal library, a strange monument in which different intimate worlds came together. Every two weeks, the library space was also used to host events by artists whose work was inspiring to us and which engaged with the project's main questions in new and valuable ways. The main credit for the project's success therefore goes to its many contributors, people who dared to experiment, who enthusiastically participated in new collaborations, who were committed to test the limits of their own mediums and who made their works-in-progress openly accessible for examination and criticism.


Business-critical applications running on SAP and Oracle are emerging as the next big target of attacks and the ultimate economic targets for cyber attacks.

Because a church is not a for-profit company, different rules apply to a church bankruptcy. Churches and other religious organizations can file for Chapter 11 to work out debts and avoid accruing new debt in the future by restructuring, just like private companies do. Often, churches accrue debt from their mortgages and the other expenses of operation.


I am looking into the possibility to setup an OSX server for my employees, and would like some input on what is the best approach to meet my needs, and perhaps some suggestions if I am moving in the wrong direction.
I am thinking of a Mac Mini OSX server, and are not sure if my needs will be met, and what possibilities are out there.
The reason I am looking at OSX server is that my employees almost only work in OSX environment, and I want to offer the capabilities to logon to the server trough some kind of terminal software, and have full access to their work OSX environment and software on their mac or pc, from anywhere they might be. Instead of having to have multiple setups and need for spending alot of time installing and setting up needed software on every client.
This is a small business, where some work on local network, and others from the internet, preferably trough VPN. But a terminal server solution, that are fast and easy to manage would be perfect for our needs.
So if anyone have any experience with a similar setup, please let me know what you did, and your experiences with your setup.
Mac OS X isn't a good fit for people looking for a replacement / analog to Windows Terminal Server.
In the past, you could only have one user logged into the GUI of OS X but now you can have two. If one user is connected and a second asks to control the screen (VNC style) - they get an option to observe/collaborate with the existing user or start their own session.
There just isn't a good fit for the use case of installing OS X tools and programs on one server and having several people use them at once. With Mountain Lion - server is very much an enabler for managing other Macs and providing services. It is not at all a replacement for thinly installed clients to remote into a full software stack and work on the server CPU in a graphical manner.
Depending on your needs, stick with Windows server or consider a mix. Run all the OS X services you can (VPN, File Sharing, whatever) to reduce the CAL $ you send to Microsoft and keep a TS server around for only those people that need that capability. You can grow your organization and support mobile devices without paying per user, but still have the remote access to TS for those that need it.

I joined Achievers Lanka Business School as soon as I was done with my A/Ls to pursue ACCA and after a month I was introduced to our exuberant club. When I initially joined Achievers to study ACCA, as everything was virtual, I didn't know anyone at all and I didn't have any friends to even ask for notes which I missed. Going from always being in school with friends around and doing adventures all around the school to having virtual classes from morning to evening and not knowing anyone and only having my screen as my friend was a disaster. I hope everyone could relate to this to some extent.
I would say joining Rotaract Achievers was one of the best decisions I made as that added spice to my disastrous online classes and made me more productive, energetic, enthusiastic and it kept me excited.
The first project that we were able to take part in was food voyeur which was similar to a culinary competition which was done virtually, which gave all of us an interest in culinary arts. From the time we joined the club, our club always gave as an opportunity to be the better version of ourselves while spreading positivity.
There on we were introduced to the rotation program where all the newbies of the club were rotated to all the avenues of the club, which gave us insights of all the avenues. I was first rotated to the Club Service avenue initially and I was amused with the fun filled activities of the club. This actually kick started my journey as a newbie since starting from an avenue like club service made me more enthusiastic and more excited. The first project I chaired was How dare you, which was a truth or dare game that we played among our fellow Rotaractors within the club to get to know each other, which led to everyone making new friends. My co-chair of this project was the first friend whom I got to know from our club (trust me unexpected friendships are the best!!!).
Thereafter I was rotated to the International Service Avenue where I chaired the project "Infusion" where we exchanged traditional food recipes with the Rotaract club De Beyrouth in Lebanon and attempted to prepare it. This time we had an opportunity to do this project physically where we all got together and made Falafel (recipe sent from the Rotaract club De Beyrouth). This project made us all learn a new recipe while having fun. Following the project Infusion, we had Karaoke night which was also a newbie project and which was the first project that featured all the club members to meet each other.
The final avenue that I was rotated to was Professional Development where I chaired the project "Hope" which was a workshop conducted to create awareness on depression and how to deal with the people with depression. This was a very impactful project that I believe will have a lasting impact on those who attended.
We were only able to rotate thrice due to the time constraint, yet it gave all of us a vast knowledge and an idea on what Rotaract is and more insights into our club. As we were able to chair projects, we were able to learn and write reports as well and got an exposure on how to handle projects within the club. The newbie rotation program gave me an opportunity to write reports for all 3 avenues which I was rotated to and it was then, that I learnt about writing reports for projects.
I was never a fan of editing and content writing. But this rotation program helped me develop my editing and content writing skills too.
The newbie rotation program benefited all of us in several ways. Especially this program was very helpful to improve my people skills. I have mentioned the benefits I gained from it throughout my blog.
Initially when I joined the club I had no idea on how exuberant it would be as all of us knew that we might not be able to do physical projects and everything is going to be virtual which will not be much interactive. But at the end I was ecstatic to see how most of our projects were carried successfully on virtual platforms, while we were also able to enjoy, have fun, learn and gain insights from them.
This rotation program played a vital role when applying for the Board of Directors as I had a firsthand experience and being in some of the avenues helped me to decide what fits me the best (I felt like Club Service/International Service suits me more) and I was able to gain knowledge on how each avenue works. I applied for Club Service and International Service as my primary and secondary avenues respectively and I got the opportunity to be the Club Service Directress of the Rotaract club of Achievers Lanka Business School for the year 2021/2022 and I am so excited to organize and chair more fun filled projects.
I would like to conclude by thanking the board 2020/2021 for coming up with this wonderful approach which involved all of us in our club projects which motivated us to be an active member and also for encouraging, motivating all of us to always be a part of the Rotaract Club of Achievers Lanka Business School.
