There's perhaps nothing more valuable than a customer's trust. It's what drives them to give your services a try, to recommend you to friends and to keep coming back time and time again. There's no better way to earn and maintain that trust than through branding. While the colors, fonts and tone you use in your marketing are part of branding, the true definition entails every touch point consumers have with your business.
Branding can be tricky, but it becomes even more difficult to create and evolve across multiple franchise locations. Too many cooks might spoil the soup, but too many managers can spoil a brand strategy even quicker. Thankfully, there are a few strategies you and your team can employ to ensure that your branding is clear, concise and consistent across all of your franchises.
Start by understanding your target customer. Who are they? How old are they? How much money do they make? What do they want most out of life? Answering these questions might feel silly at first, but they can help you better understand the psychology behind the folks purchasing your services or products. Only after getting into the heads of your customers can you truly define your brand.
Once you've determined who you're selling to, choose a color palette, font, logo and slogan targeting your ideal customer. If it's not clear what those choices should look like, it's time to go back to the drawing board to better understand your goals. Most importantly, you'll need to create a brand style guide to which all franchises and employees can refer back. Strict rules on the creative liberties you allow or forbid can give you control over your brand.
Uniformity is your key to success. Think about popular brands you see every day and how different you might feel towards them if their logos were altered slightly, or if the tone of their advertisements changed dramatically. Branding is all about earning trust, so consistency matters a great deal. While you may want to encourage local flavor twist on your branding, keeping certain aspects of your identity uniform is always a good idea.
In addition to your style guide, you may want to consider other strategies to ensure your brand is being upheld across franchises. Think about the way your employees communicate with customers. For example, if one location has an overly formal, polite relationship with patrons, a laissez-faire attitude from staff in a different location can come across strangely. Because consistency is key, brand uniformity should extend to the very way your employees interact with customers.
Consider your branding on social media platforms. Sure, you may use a different caption on Instagram photos than you use on Facebook or Twitter, but your voice should be locked in, recognizable, and consistent across platforms. Even deciding on which platforms to participate can be a question of branding. Get on the same page with your social media team to ensure your social presence makes sense.
Companies with strong branding often use professional call center services to ensure a consistent customer service experience for callers. Agents work from a script created by stakeholders according to brand guidelines to guarantee that callers receive the same high level of service every time they dial. Regardless of what experiences your customers might have with individual franchises or locations, you can rest assured that the call center employees will handle calls in a uniform fashion.
The benefits of working with a call center don't stop with branding. Answering services for franchises can give your employees the administrative support they need in busy times. Whether your business depends upon leads, appointments, sales calls or general customer service over the phone, a live answering agent can provide exactly what you require. Such services can free up your employees, giving them more time to devote to staying productive and on brand in other areas of the business. After all, your franchise owners deserve the best support available.

Carlsberg, one of the world's most well-known retailer and brewer, has joined forces with leading training providers the CPL Training Group to deliver training to over 6000 pubs.
Hundreds of pubs will benefit from a £100 discount on personal licence training, APLH and SCPLH, from CPL Training. David Scott, Director of Marketing for Carlsberg UK said: "It's never been more important for pubs to have fully trained and skilled staff. However, in these tough economic times, sometimes training and development courses are pushed to the bottom of the 'to do' list as they can be expensive. That's why we have joined forces with CPL, so we can continue to work in partnership with our customers and provide them with affordable and useful training courses, demonstrating that we really do deliver more to customers."
Thousands of independent free houses will also benefit from either completely free or heavily discounted courses from the 24 available from CPL Training's sister company, CPL Online. Pubs can also gain access to Carlsberg UK's bespoke course 'Eight Steps to Success', which offers sites a guide on how to run a successful pub via Carlsberg's award winning 'We Deliver More' scheme. Plus, CPL Online has created a bespoke ranging tool known as 'Getting your Range Right', which supplies licensees with valuable knowledge on selling Carlsberg products to their customers.
Daniel Davies, CEO of the CPL Training Group, added: "We have been training licensed trade for over twenty years and have an average pass rate of 98%. We are delighted to be working in conjunction with Carlsberg UK and deliver these invaluable training courses, which will continue to improve the standard of work in the UK on-trade."

Local weekly papers are a continuing tradition in many small WV counties – almost 50 of them still survive in this era of mass media and on-line news. Monroe County is one of the most tradition-oriented in West Virginia, and its paper, the Monroe Watchman, has come out each week for over 140 years. One family, the Johnstons, held the editor's chair for almost 90 years, until HH Mohler took over in 1965. In this story, current editor Craig Mohler talks about the paper's origins, in the unsettled years after the Civil War.

Find solution fast, I am struck, wanna upload app on play store and refer to image for the major problem. Thank to everyone in advance and I have to write some silly details to remove the red box, don't think a lot about it because to post, I have to remove this box. Still this silly box hasn't gone. Hey stack overflow! It has gone mad.
This is causing problem:

But I want this:

A: Change the width of your views to android:layout_width="0dp". Also, I don't think you need this line android:gravity="fill_horizontal|center_horizontal"

A: The sum should be missing in the LinearLayout parent.
Replace
<LinearLayout

La place Kim Il-sung (chosŏn'gŭl :  ; RR : ), situé à Pyongyang en Corée du Nord, couvre une superficie de . Inaugurée en 1954, elle a une grande importance culturelle car elle est le principal lieu des rassemblements des manifestations de masse du régime. En été et en automne, les visiteurs peuvent voir s'y dérouler des répétitions du festival Arirang.

La Grande maison des études du peuple, construite dans le style traditionnel, domine la place à l'ouest, le siège du Parti du travail de Corée le Nord, le musée central d'histoire de Corée et la galerie d'art coréenne l'Est, le ministère du Commerce extérieur le Sud. La tour du Juche se trouve en face de la place Kim Il-sung, sur l'autre rive du Taedong.

Elle est semblable dans la forme et la conception à la place Tian'anmen de Pékin et est utilisée pour les mêmes fins. Depuis son achèvement en 1954, plusieurs défilés y ont été organisés pour commémorer de nombreux événements différents et ainsi montrer au monde les capacités militaires de la Corée du Nord. Une personnes présente sur la place peut apercevoir autant la tour du Juche que le monument à la fondation du Parti et le Grand monument Mansudae.

Des portraits de Kim Il-sung et Kim Jong-il sont affichés sur les bâtiments autour de la place ainsi que d'autres de Karl Marx et de Lénine.

New Delhi: Calling herself a television product, actress Sakshi Tanwar, popular for TV dramas like Kahaani Ghar Ghar Kii and Bade Achhe Lagte Hain, says she is extremely proud of the medium and that interesting content will always pull her towards the small screen.
Most of the TV stars do wish to see themselves on the big screen, but Sakshi, who has also acted in films like Mohalla Assi and the upcoming Aamir Khan-starrer Dangal, says she is proud of her roots - TV.
"This (TV) is my root. I started from here. I am so proud of my television (work). I am a television product. I am very proud of the medium. If I continue to find interesting subjects, you will keep seeing me on TV," the actress, who was in the capital to promote her forthcoming finite TV series 24: Season 2, told IANS.
She loves the medium, but she also supports the changing trends as far as the content is concerned.
Asked about the fading away of 'saas-bahu' shows, she said: "We did it for a long time. If I keep doing only that, how will I grow as an actor? So I have to keep trying new things, which is exactly why I am doing 24. I am happy for myself. I have been fortunate to get different types of roles at different times. I have been able to grow with the changing times."

From an ideal Indian 'bahu' (daughter-in-law) to Anti-Terrorist Unit chief, how was the transformation?
"It's been a great journey so far. I love this transformation. I've been fortunate enough to have done strong female characters even in the past. But I would say this time it's different as it's not just about loving and protecting your family. It's also about loving and protecting your nation," she shared.
"It's at another level. My character -- ATU chief Shibani Malik -- is a woman of substance. She is strong and determined. She is also a mother to a special child. She is very loving, caring and a nurturing mother. It's a beautifully layered character... Something I haven't done before. Also, the premise of the show. It's nowhere in the vicinity of the house," said the actress, who has also hosted shows including Code Red - a crime-based show.
So, will we see her using her fists and showcasing her physical strength in the second season of 24, which is an Indian adaptation of the popular American TV show 24? "You will have to wait for that. You need to see the show for that," she said.
How was it working with Anil Kapoor?
"We have done some scenes together. It was a great experience because he is such a senior actor, so successful, talented yet he is so warm and humble. He is full of energy and enthusiasm. He carries the same energy on the sets. He motivates everyone. He is so involved and gets into discussions to improve a scene," said Sakshi.
As a producer, Anil doesn't interfere, she said. "He never interfered. We had healthy mutual discussions. On the sets, he was never a producer. He was an actor... that too a co-actor. So, everybody got the same treatment."

The Rocketeer [UK]
Just watched this. Looks pretty decent on BD, actually. They didn't sharpen it, at least not overdone so far as I can tell. There is a general, natural softness (as opposed to blurry) to the film. Some parts show their age though, most notably the CG special effects. I saw, during some of the flying scenes that the Rocket/Rocketeer didn't really mesh well with the rest of the screen. These were short scenes though, so not a huge issue. Audio side seems solid. I'm not the best judge of video or audio quality, but that's my take on it.
I can confirm that it is almost certainly region free (Disney, so to be expected). Region A/B at least, that's for sure.
HOWEVER, anybody expecting bonus features will be very disappointed. The only bonus feature is the original theatrical trailer. That has subtitles at least (good for me as I can't hear well, but most people won't care).
Overall, a nice enough release of a back catalogue title. No complaints aside from the serious lack of bonus features, but that's not super important to me.
EDIT: Forgot to mention the bit about certain rocket scenes not looking quite right.

So it's just identical to the US version then?
The lack of special features kind of hurts, because it would be easy to make a good featurettes about the translation from comic to film.
I guess? I don't have the NA version to compare it to, unfortunately.

View the Shape Open 2020: The Future is Loading exhibition, featuring the work of 25 marginalised artists!
"2020 has been a paradigm shift for many, a year like no other. A time of raw hardship and sudden turmoil in the midst of which we have witnessed gestures of care and support capable of reminding us: we need each other.
For many disabled and marginalised people, familiar with adversity, witnessing the world come to a halt in a matter of days has paradoxically generated hope. Hope that, for once, the world might take greater heed of what it means to be shut away, impoverished and excluded.
For people who are marginalised in the present day, facing discrimination and barriers to access, imagining the future can be an act of radical defiance.
As the crisis has evolved and its shockwaves travelled, we find it acting as a catalyst for many other significant conversations, in the home, the workplace, or whilst, in the case of the Black Lives Matter movement, taking to the streets in an assertion of grief and outrage. In this time of reflection and learning, a plurality of realisations has occurred. With this, widespread unrest and demands for change have arisen.
More than our lives, entire structures have been thrown into the air by what we are living though, revealing the outlines of a starkly unequal world. In the process, a pandemic of health has radicalised mainstream debate, and we are no longer shying away from discussing the pre-existing pandemics of racism, of gender discrimination, barriers to inclusion and advancement, of gaping inequality, isolation, and disenfranchisement. The list goes on.
Set against this uncertain and restless backdrop, where risk of greater exclusion battles with unique opportunities for change, we at Shape are looking to the future as an act of hope.
For people who are marginalised in the present day, facing discrimination and barriers to access, imagining the future can be an act of radical defiance. It is the act of making a claim to a space that is otherwise denied – and for once, marginalised people have the agency to place themselves at its centre."
The Shape Open is our annual exhibition of artwork by disabled and non-disabled artists created in response to a disability-centred theme. The Open provides a space where disabled and non-disabled artists can discuss and exchange views and ideas about issues and topics which are often sidelined within artistic debate.

Affiliation with Shape: Elise contributed to the Shape Open 2020: The Future is Loading.
Elise Broadway creates free-standing and wall-mounted sculptural works using stuffed, drawn or painted fabrics, often using stock images of people and animals found on the internet. The result is a startling mixture of the sophisticated and ungainly, with the apparently mundane transformed into something special and memorable. Elise's work is autobiographical and builds on a mixture of Texan cultural iconography, dark humor, and deeply personal, introspective imagery as a self-therapeutic mechanism that shifts between catharsis, deconstruction, and healing.
About the works Elise contributed to The Future is Loading...
Cocoa (2019)
Cocoa is part of a series of works focusing on chimerical, symbiotically-surviving entities. Beginning as a portrait of a dog with a malignant tumor, the work began to transform as I began to consider the existence/absence of mutualistic relationships between humans and the natural world. This piece functions in conjunction with the my recent series' (including Hecate) concentrating on the roles and bodies of domesticated animals and the concept of 'domestication' in relation to the traditional female body. These works seek to call into question the particularly human psychological proclivity towards control (both personal and of others) and the perceived comforts of the home.
Hecate (2020)
Hecate depicts playful, theatrical scene presenting a conglomeration of ancient and fantastical cultural motifs that indicate the presence of spiritual and physical healing, safety, and bounty. The historical Hecate figure- guardian of the home and purveyor of folk medicine- represents private/social tendencies to seek out alternative medicine when contemporary scientific methods don't hold concrete answers.
Rabbit (2020)
Rabbit focuses on the symbolism of thriving hopefulness; in a surreal setting of undisturbed daffodils, the rainbow-lit rabbit optimistically creates a bridge between organic and artificial life. Playing on childlike imagery, Rabbit highlights a personal inclination towards the comforts of life within the natural world in times of global gloom.

X's and O's: Patriots vs. Giants
Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire/Getty Images
The Patriots are heading into their week six matchup against the Giants. The Giants have finally moved out of the Eli Manning Era and Daniel Jones has taken over as quarterback. The Giants are a young and injured team, there's no doubt about that. The Giants have a rookie quarterback, an injured running back, Saquon Barkley, an injured Sterling Shepard, and an injured Evan Ingram, who is their starting tightend. With that in consideration and the fact that its a Thursday night game, the Pats should be fine tonight.
The Giants defensive coordinator, Steve Spagnuolo, runs a 3-4 scheme. Which means there will be three down linemen, while there are four linebackers. This allows for linebackers to be able to blitz and drop into cover as well. The Giants run a few different looks in the secondary. There run a Cover-0, a cover-1 and a cover-2. All will be pictured below.
If the Giants run a cover-0 scheme, this means that the Giants secondary will be in a man coverage across the field. This allows for the Giants to have a big pass rush. They could rush six or more players in this defensive set. This would be a good option for the Giants due to the recent struggles in the Patriots offensive line.
If the Patriots wanna beat the cover-0 they will have to establish a good passing game from the beginning. This will force the Giants to keep their safeties and cornerbacks back in a different coverage because they won't be able to rush all of those players. The Patriots should look too exploit matchups with their running backs on linebackers. The Patriots will also be able to take a few deep shots with their receivers because their receivers will have one-on-one matchups.
The Patriots can come out in any formation at this point. The Pats can then use motion or Brady will want to look at what the defense is giving to him to establish what formation the defense is in. Brady will analyze the safeties and cornerbacks to make a decision from there.
This look could be confusing for the average fan. There are two high saftey's, which could be perceived as a Cover-2, but is actually a cover-0 look because of the coverage assignments for the defense. Brady could motion his running back, motion his tightend, or even a guy like Edelman. From that point you could have Josh Gordon running the deep route on the far left, and have Jacobi Meyers running the slant across the middle, and have Edelman run the out route on the far right.
The Giants also come out in a Cover-1 Scheme. A cover-1 scheme is a very similar concept to the Cover-0 scheme. The only difference, in the two defenses, is in a Cover-1 the defense has a high saftey, and he drops back into the middle of the field, while the rest of the secondary plays man to man coverage.
In this coverage the Patriots could run a play designed to attack outside of the hash marks or attack the very middle of the defense with crossing routes. The Pats could us a play like the one below and try to get a legal pick play out of the two routes on the right side of the field.
The last option is a Cover-2 Scheme. A cover-2 scheme is where the two deep safties drop back and split the field in half. In a cover two you can have a cover-2 with man and cover-2 with a zone look as well. First we will look at cover-2 man. A cover two man will give the Giants two deep safeties and man coverage with their cornerbacks.
This type of look will allow the Pats to attack the field deep. A football field is divided into three "deep thirds" and a cover two has two safeties cover the three sections. Theoretically, there will always be an "open" third. The running back on the wheel route is a really nice option for this look. Both safeties will cover the deep receivers and the running back will likely be open when he cuts upfield. He will at least have a mismatch with the linebacker.
If the Giants come out in a cover-2 zone scheme, all of the secondary players and linebackers will drop back into their zone. The cornerbacks will likely be in a press coverage and will be using a "bump and run" technique. This defensive scheme will allow the Pats to run the ball effectively.
The Patriots will want to use motion in this set as well. It will allow Brady another chance to analyze the defense. As far as routes go, wheel routes are perfect for this coverage, a "mesh" concept will work or a smash concept will work too.
The Giants defense has been really bad this year. They are ranked 30th in the league in yards allowed and turnovers. They have allowed 409.4 yards per game and other teams have had five more turnovers than them in the prior games.
The Patriots should win tonight. Although the Pats scored 33 points last game, they looked bad on their offensive line play. I think the Pats beat this banged up and young Giants team. The final score will be 34-10. Edelman will have two touchdowns, Brandon Bolden will have a TD, and Sony Michele will have one. That leaves us with 28 points. I have been incredibly inaccurate with Josh Gordon this year, but I am still hopeful that he will have a breakout game tonight and have a touchdown with eight receptions. I also think that there will be another McCourty turnover this week.

The quest for greater unity
By Chris Lewis2019-01-18T12:37:00+00:00
One of the main priorities for inbound supply chain managers from a packaging perspective is the proper management of returnable containers and packages so they are delivered as quickly, efficiently and economically as possible.
To achieve this, many North American OEMs have up to now insisted on their own forms of labelling, leaving tier suppliers with no choice but to manage a wide variety of labelling systems. As a result, an industry-wide labelling standard providing more consistent trackable labels on packages and a more universal standard for packaging itself are needed more than ever.
Bulk vs accuracyDepending on the containers they are used on, labels in North America are currently comprised of various materials, from paper to metal and plastic. Nearly every label used in the continent's inbound automotive supply chain features barcodes and, increasingly, RFID inlays, according to Ed Nabrotzky, chief solutions officer of Omni-ID.
Barcode scanning is highly cost-effective and as pervasive within the North American automotive supply chain as elsewhere. Companies can easily order pre-printed barcode labels, sometimes finished with a protective top layer for more resilience, or just encode them themselves. RFID inlays are also becoming more affordable, says Nabrotzky.
"High volume logistics requires automated scanning for bulk, in comparison to manual barcode scanning for accuracy," Nabrotzky says. "With RFID, you receive the automated scanning and a barcode, along with readable instruction, for a very low cost. RFID prices have come down as the technologies have vastly improved."
However, there are some drawbacks to both barcode scanning and RFID, of which OEMs, packaging suppliers and distributors must be aware.
Bridget Grewal, director of packaging continuous improvement at Magna International, has had to utilise an advance shipping notice in addition to the traditional, globally used label recommended by the US Automotive Industry Action Group (AIAG), which in Magna's case features a 2D barcode. This advanced shipping notice has been particularly helpful since the AIAG label does not notify the automotive supplier of when shipments are actually arriving, she points out.
While Grewal is investigating using RFID for empty containers, Magna has not yet used the technology, she says, as it can't read containers that are lost – a common issue in the automotive supply chain.
"If RFID isn't in a closed loop, it doesn't work well," Grewal confirms. "Not to mention, the AIAG label doesn't have a database, nor does it provide any indication of how to optimise."
She adds: "The real problem is that everybody is working independently. When you have a database, all of the data is collected in one place, but everybody is still trying to do it their own way – there isn't a collaborative effort. This has potential to be overcome really soon, due to up-and-coming software."

Apart from barcode scanning and RFID, kanban systems with cards (which require cardholders or clips) and placard or textured label area systems are two more primary methods for labelling. According to Andy Schumacher, vice-president of the packaging systems division at Schaefer Systems International, kanban systems are especially useful for reducing waste in inbound automotive supply chains, as they only reorder parts when they are truly needed.
Placard or textured label area systems, meanwhile, use removable and expandable labels for each shipment; no sticky residue is left behind when the labels are removed.
"Kanban and placard or textured label area systems are really the same, but rather than using cards, some companies use labels," Schumacher states. "If an OEM uses labels, then cardholders and clips add zero value to their system. Instead, they should use placards or textured label areas to place the labels on the side of the containers. Regardless of which one is chosen, they're both visual systems that will replenish inventory, reduce waste and improve the environment."
Losses through labellingUsing such labels may ensure an adequate supply of containers, but there are other concerns. For example, conventional labels must be scanned by operators with barcode readers, which can be an unreliable process thanks to such factors as dirty labels, mixed boxes and high-volume operations.
Frequently, densely packed pallets or vehicles don't allow a clear line of sight for scanning, resulting in inaccurate tracking of containers and owners or users who don't know where their containers actually are. Most returnable container users report the loss of 20-33% of their stock annually, according to Nabrotzky.
"If containers aren't available when shipments are necessary, duplicates may be ordered or fabricated, or temporary materials such as cardboard may be put into service with [the potential for] greater damage to the shipment or problematic handling at the end-use point," he stresses.
Nabrotzky advises tier one suppliers to optimise their pool of containers via real-time tracking, preferably using cloud-hosted software that can predict how long containers will dwell in their cycles.
"Being predictive implies two things – you can analyse past traffic to set fixed expectations for workflows, or you can use an advanced rules engine to set parameters for current conditions, based on certain things happening," he says. "Either is good, it just depends on business requirements."
According to Grewal, improper tracking of containers can cost tier one suppliers millions of dollars, an issue that can be addressed with technology such as blockchain data collection, using a combination of tags, labels and software.
AutoSphere to the rescueTo help solve the issue of poor container management, a number of OEMs and tier suppliers have begun working with Surgere, using its cloud-based COS platform, to create a common RFID-based standard within the automotive industry. RFID, stresses Nabrotzky, continues to mature and is experiencing rapid growth, as it is small, reliable and has eliminated the barcode scanning requirement for line of sight.
"This is an absolutely huge step forward and is part of almost every strategic conversation we're having in the industry," Schumacher says. "The most common method of application is to inlay the RFID tag into the label and adhere a permanent label to the tote in two locations — the easiest and most cost-effective way to apply labels for batch-type orders."
Surgere's AutoSphere shared platform, announced in May 2018 at The Supply Chain Conference in Atlanta, will allow OEMs and their suppliers to use a common supply chain data network, so they can share information with each other and transport, manage and track containers and parts more effectively together. This should help address the automotive supply chain's current estimated $2 billion annual cost from container and part losses.
Nabrotzky believes visual tags will also continue to become more popular, as they offer the same advantages as RFID, along with the ability to display other information and barcodes – just like paper has in the past.
"This means a hybrid deployment is possible where some elements of the supply chain can be invested in RFID infrastructure, while others just use manual recognition or barcode scans to gather shipment details," he explains. "Therefore, real-time instruction tracking and changing can occur as conditions change within workflows.
"Imagine a customer changing a delivery address online and having the address automatically change on the label in real time. That's the benefit of a dynamic e-paper or e-label," he continues.
Grewal agrees that visual tags (which can be read anywhere in the world via GPS) are the most effective labels on the marketplace right now. Although GPS is expensive, its costs have begun to decline within the last couple years. Despite the diminishing costs of GPS, however, Grewal is also beginning to trial Bluetooth beacons that allow people with cellphones to read the tags free of hardware charges using an appropriate app.
"Within one to two minutes, my operators can tell where tools are by using the Bluetooth beacons," she says. "The bars on the app become smaller or larger depending on how close the beacon is to the phone."
Since the beacons depend on batteries that are likely to die within three to five years, Magna Powertrain currently uses RFID tags as a backup. While inexpensive to use, the beacons are expensive to purchase. Nonetheless, Grewal believes such beacons will become more affordable as volumes increase, the software becomes more compatible and standardisation occurs.
"The beacon has been redesigned to use an AAA battery," she states. "Solar energy can't be used because products are stored inside. [But] water or wind at warehouses and distribution centres could be used to create energy for the beacon in the future."
Nabrotzky adds that energy harvesting and bi-stable materials (e-paper or plastic substrates) are making other exciting, new applications possible. "For example, sensing can now occur when temperatures change and labels can change colours to flag [this to] workers, all without additional power."
Overcoming obstacles to standardisationNabrotzky believes the standardisation of containers, packaging and dunnage systems within North America's automotive industry is "easy to say, hard to do." Although everyone needs the same containers and uses the same types of parts flow, he says, they can't seem to agree on a common approach, especially with regards to software workflows and data item records. Instead, they all have their particular ways of working and legacy systems in place.
[mpu_ad]"Surgere's recent announcement [about its AutoSphere shared platform deployment], along with the involvement of the AIAG Committee, is a step in the right direction, though," he says. "It promises to get the right players around the table to come to an agreement on data flow through the AIAG. Industry-wide standards would be a really effective way to drive change."
Schumacher believes RFID tags can offer some assistance with pooling, but that the North American automotive industry is not entirely at ease with the concept of pooling, as individual companies want to stand out from each other and have different packaging to their competitors.
"Although a lot of different philosophies have prevented pooling in the past, the fact that most OEMs are working with one technology company [Surgere] is huge," he states. "It really drives home the concept of an industry solution."
Grewal stresses that differences in culture must not be overlooked either. She says she has noticed that truck drivers in Europe actively participate in the movement and tracking of returnable containers, requiring the number of empty containers placed on a truck to match the number of full ones removed. They also place a value on the containers — a practice she says truckers in North America simply haven't implemented yet.
"European truck drivers feel honoured to have their positions," she suggests. "It would be to our advantage to do what Europe has done. If we can get coordinated, it can happen."
Getting involved earlyAs the North American automotive industry prepares for potential future standardisation, packaging engineers are also becoming involved to some degree.
According to Nabrotzky, it is important for engineers to be involved after initial product design has occurred but before any production specs have been established. Production specs are a critical element of part design and such designs can't be finalised until packaging, and removal from packaging for assembly, have been completely determined.
"In many cases, handling and delivering a part is more expensive than the part itself," Nabrotzky continues. "So it makes sense to consider incorporating sensors or transponders at the beginning of the design stage to ensure optimal savings and process efficiencies."
In addition, it is important to remember that the development of the returnable container system is entirely dependent on the complexity of the containers themselves. For instance, engineers are designing standard, expendable or returnable containers five months before programme launch; if the container is not standard, seven or more months are usually required, according to Grewal.
"Packaging engineers are often working on projects that are one to three years in advance of the standard operating procedure," Schumacher adds. "Every project is different but, ultimately, most packaging engineers have almost no say in standardisation. The standards are being driven by the OEMs."
Regardless of initiatives from organisations like Surgere, much more still needs to occur to ensure carmakers, packaging providers and suppliers can collaborate more effectively, improve standardisation for the inbound automotive supply chain and develop a more efficient, quality-conscious process for the timely inbound delivery of parts.
"Organisations like the AIAG are a platform to improve collaboration and parts delivery. However, the engagement has traditionally been very siloed," Nabrotzky says. "OEMs usually meet with their own supply chain, while tier two players act as intermediaries or thought-leaders to bridge the gaps."
This silo issue is due, at least to a degree, to software issues. Nabrotzky believes returnable totes' common size standards have proved that collaboration is possible, but organisations don't want to share any best practice on how they track their totes, in case they lose their competitive advantage.
"Everyone agrees on the data that needs to be there, but the important frontier that hasn't been bridged yet is the common handling of the data for sharing," he states.
This issue may ultimately be solved some day, thanks to the recent efforts of Surgere, as well as organisations such as the AIAG and AutoSphere.
"Everyone agrees on the data that needs to be there, but the important frontier that hasn't been bridged yet is the common handling of the data for sharing" - Ed Nabrotzky, Omni-ID
"The biggest initiative for a more efficient process for inbound parts delivery is what Surgere is doing to help keep track of packaging through RFID technology," Schumacher says. "This technology will also help greatly with increased visibility and inbound part identification."
Future of trackable labellingAlthough Nabrotzky supports collaboration on labels, as well as the creation of proper trackable labelling on packaging, he believes labels may be needed less today than before.
"When people bought their routers for their home network, a label was placed on it with all of the passwords, and so forth. Now they buy equipment and it just works," he says. "The vision of smart materials is that they should communicate with the systems around them without humans getting involved. It is automatic: the container negotiates its own path – no label or discretion is required."
Nabrotzky suggests software and process standardisation levels are therefore now more pressing issues. Regardless of the technology being used to collect data, the interplay of data, along with its transfer between vendors, users and an increasing number of customers, will always need to be solved.
"Customers are demanding transparency in the supply chain as Amazon trains people to track everything and know when it will arrive," Nabrotzky comments. "That expectation is driving change in non-traditional areas. The internet of things (IoT) will eventually get us to a fully transparent supply chain, as parts will be seen as they're built and transported throughout their supply chain journey."
Meanwhile, despite the present and future influence of software, Grewal suggests proper trackable labelling of packaging can be created with a very mature technology: that of the mobile phone.
"If you use signals that are coming from cellular towers for the labels, a signal will always be available. Cellular technology, combined with Bluetooth, will make tracking very cheap and easy (and the labels will be very cheap as well)," she states. "It should create standardisation. That's where I would put my eggs – in that basket."
Evolving standardsRegardless of the initiatives of organisations like Surgere and the AIAG, Nabrotzky is not overly optimistic about the potential for a more universal standard of packaging within the automotive industry. In fact, he doesn't even believe there will be a set of standard sizes and characteristics, as the market is seeking more customisation right now, rather than less.
"Although there are common returnable packages in common sizes that people use, I don't think there will ever be a one-size-fits-all," he says. "However, we will get more standard systems and data handling, as the market drives this as an imperative."
Grewal is more positive, stressing that sleeve packs – virtually collapsible, lightweight, tri-laminate plastic sleeves – are a new standard of returnable packaging that, in spite of their lack of exposure so far, will eventually become as common as pallet boxes. Due to stacking requirements, pallet boxes and sleeve packs will need to be compatible for optimal transport cube utilisation, she adds.
"Sleeve packs have a higher return ratio than pallet boxes," she comments. "I believe they'll be used more as time goes on."
Development of a common packaging standard that everyone can use is being held back by a focus on capital outlay, suggests Schumacher.
"We have some customers looking at the total costs of the supply chain, but way too many customers are still looking at the upfront costs of the actual packaging," he states. "Every item that is capitalised is always looked at upfront, and not enough people or companies look at the true total cost of solutions."
Upfront cost analysis clearly makes sense, as 80% of returnable packaging costs are related to returning packaging through the supply chain. However, this perspective is preventing companies from achieving some very beneficial standardisation.
"I don't see standardisation occurring for one commodity. The communication isn't strong enough, and a standard hasn't been identified yet," Grewal says. "The automotive industry needs to collaborate on a standard, and then use that standard."
Nabrotzky suggests such standardisation is an ongoing evolution but one that requires several steps, focused on physical packaging and data formats, among other factors, before the ultimate goal of shared data is achieved.
"Everyone in the supply chain agrees that we need to use technology to digitise data and obtain the item-level granularity necessary to see process improvements," he says. "As technologies continue to improve and become more cost-effective, data will continue to enable good decision-making. And, in turn, automotive entrepreneurs will be able to create more solutions for standardisation issues well into the future."
"We have some customers looking at the total costs of the supply chain, but way too many customers are still looking at the upfront costs of the actual packaging… Not enough people or companies look at the true total cost of solutions" - Andy Schumacher, Schaefer Systems International

Tried to post pocket flashlight gun. Cannot figure out how. let me email it to you then you may be able to post it?? It is worth the trouble.
it's not hard to do. do a search and read some posts on here. people have posted some good tricks for getting everything lined up.
do you think it would be very hard to align the motor up without the engine mounting plate?
my 5.5 bolted right up to my frame. my frame is a '70 or '71 Cat Eliminator so it's a bit different. do you have a DB30?
hey Strigoi did you use one of chris's mounting plates for your clone engine or did u just drill and slot the holes yourself?
i don't have a plate for one. last i heard he was out of kits for now anyways.
Cool, I'll look into it.
Hey, you wouldn't happen to have a mounting plate for an HF 6.5HP engine for a DB30 laying around would you? I can't get a hold of cjtmini to get one. I've been putting off drilling and slotting holes because I'd like to use a mounting plate but I can't find one. I'm seriously about to just drill and slot the holes already.
i'm sure you could find some BLM land within a couple of hours of this area. it's about a 6 hour drive to Jawbone, so it's a bit of haul just to do some shooting. it's a fun place to go camping though. the weather is nice down there in november (just a bit cold at night).
Looks like fun! I'd love to be able to let loose somewhere like that (but up here). The ranges here don't allow any rapid fire, double-tap, or bump-fire unless you're part of some law-enforcement or military training.
that shot was taken in Jawbone Canyon in the Mojave desert. a bunch of us go down there every November to do some partying and shooting..
Hey Strigoi, nice to know there are locals who are also into shooting and minibiking. Where are you shooting at in your avatar? I live in Tracy and I usually go to United Sportsmen or Pleasanton Rod & Gun.
i'm still trying to get it adjusted properly. i got it used and it was set up for a kart. it's really too early to tell and it doesn't help that my carb isn't dialed in right now either. i just got it running this morning.
Nice mini,how do u like the chetta clutch,what is it that makes them worth the price?? verses.a noram or max torque for 1/2 the money??
think about it. it is ok if you can't make it. it was just a thought.
that's a bit far for me. i'm around 350 miles from Van Nuys.
did you hear about the mini bike swap meet?
Dec 7th. meet at 8 am for swap meet, ride at noon.
We will do five stops on our route. It's not a race, it's a group ride. The last two stops will be the Toys r' Us on Sherman Way and Woodley to pick up a toy and the last stop will be the Fire Station on Louse and Vanowen to drop off the toy for Toys for Tots. This means you'll need to buy a toy for the kids. The three best hands will get 1st, 2nd, 3rd for points. one for showing up. Yes, this means that just because you have been to most of the races and draw a good hand you could take the whole thing. This is the last run and people that have not signed up are free to join us free of charge.
We will be doing a swapmeet at 8 am until 2 pm. At noon, we will do the ride and it should take about an hour. Working on the bb-q angle. more info tba.
the doodlebug doesn't have the holes for a bigger motor. you'd either need a plate or have to drill new ones. the big red bike has a 3.5 tecumseh on it (it's cold blooded too) and a TAV2.
Do you have a phone number? Very Interested !!!
You need to clear out your PMs.
I can't send you anymore.
Does the doodle bug have bolt holes for a briggs 5hp?
Is the other bike a Tecumseh?

Let me talk about one op the best Jazz Albums A Kind Of Blue
Kind Of Blue is a studio album by American jazz trumpeter Miles Davis, created August 17/59, on Columbia Records. The sessions for the album was created at a Studio in New York City on March 2 1959. The sessions featured Davis's band, which consisted of pianists Bill Evans and Wynton Kelly, drummer Jimmy Cobb, bassist Paul Chambers, and saxophonists John Coltrane and Julian "Cannonball" Adderley. Miles included Bill Evans into his sextet, Davis followed up on the modal jazz examples would be Milestones he based the album entirely on modality, in contrast to his earlier work with the be- bop style of jazz created and influenced by Charlie Parker.
Some Jazz historians' have told us that; Kind of Blue has been Davis's best-selling album, but as the best-selling jazz record of all time. It went platinum in sales not bad for a Jazz Album . It has been regarded by many Jazz writers as the best jazz album of all time and a Jazz masterpiece. The album's influence on music, including jazz, rock, and classical music, has led musicians to acknowledge it as one of the most influential albums . In 2003, the album was rated number 12 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.
Style of Jazz
Kind of Blue is based entirely on modal jazz in contrast to Davis's earlier work with the be bop style of jazz and its complex chord progression. This album was composed as a series of modal patterns, in which each the jazz performer was given a set of scales which defined their improvisation and style. This style of playing was in contrast to more typical means of composing, such as providing musicians with a music score or, as was more common for improvisational jazz, providing the player with a chord progression or harmonies within the score.
Modal jazz of this type was not unique to a Kind Of Blue. Davis himself had previously used the same method on his 1958 album Milestones. The original method had been developed in 1953 by pianist and writer George Russell. Davis saw this as a method of composing and getting away from the dense chords of bop , which Davis labeled "Thick". Modal composition, relied on scales and modes, represented, to Davis "A return to the melody." In 58 an interview with the a jazz magazine Davis explained this form of composition in contrast to the simple chord progression predominant bop, explaining "No chords ... gives you a lot more freedom and space to hear things"
Bill Evans pianist noted "Miles conceived these settings only hours before the recording dates." Evans explains continues the modes used in each composition on the album. So What consists of a mode based on two scales: sixteen measures of the first, followed by eight measures of the second, and then eight again of the first. Freddie Freeloader is a standard twelve bar blues a joy to listen to. Another track Blue in Green consists of a ten-measure cycle following a short four-measure introduction. All Blues which is my favourite is a twelve bar blues form in unstandard time 6/8 . Flamenco Sketches consists of five scales, which are each played as long as the jazz soloist wishes until he or she is completed.
Davis is the composer of all the compositions, but many writers and fans believe that Bill Evans wrote part or the whole of Blue in Green and Flamenco Sketches. But this has never been verified. Bill Evans assumed joint credit with Davis for Blue in Green when recording it on his Portrait in Jazz album. Davis acknowledged Evans' authorship in 2002. The practice of a band leader's authorship of a song written by a band players occurs frequently in jazz, as saxophonist Charlie Parker did so to Davis when Parker took credit for the tune Donna Lee, written by Davis while employed as a sideman in Charlie Parker's quintet in the 40s. The tune later became a popular jazz standard. Another example is the intro to So What, attributed to Gil Evans, which is closely based on the French composer Claude Debussy's Voiles
