Sustainably delivering wheat cargo to the Port of Ayr
Published by Lydia Woellwarth, Editor
Dry Bulk, Tuesday, 03 August 2021 16:15
On 20 July, the Arklow Fern, with a cargo of wheat partly destined for the world-famous Scotch whisky industry, arrived at ABP's Port of Ayr from ABP's Port of Ipswich, UK. Moving 4393 t of wheat by ship, rather than road, saved 61 535 lorry miles, which approximately equates to a reduction of 82 t in carbon emissions. At both ends of this sustainable maritime sup-ply chain, the stock of wheat cargo can be stored efficiently, at quayside in the Port of Ipswich, and in store at the Port of Ayr, which specialises in handling dry bulks, including salt, animal feed, heavy lift and forest products.
Andrew Harston, Regional Director, ABP said, "ABP is keen to support our customers in creating more sustainable supply chains. This shipment of wheat is a great example of a collaborative approach to make a positive difference towards our shared sustainability goals and shows how shifting to shipping from road reduces carbon emissions significantly."
Together with customers, ABP's Scottish ports of Ayr and Troon contribute over £40 million to the UK economy every year, including £28 million locally. Earlier this year, ABP completed its investment of £2.2 million to upgrade all front-line machinery at its Port of Ayr, demonstrating its commitment to its customers and mission of keeping Britain trading. ABP's Port of Troon is celebrating 21 years of running the TimberLINK service, which handles over 100 000 t of timber each year and has reduced carbon emissions by more than 1200 t every year since 2000.
In both its Scottish ports, ABP maintains the region's competitiveness, agility and resilience by continued investment in infrastructure, equipment and systems, while supporting its own sustainability goals as well as those of its customers.

International students will face fewer barriers to studying in the United States because of a recent effort by President Barack Obama to simplify visa applications.
An executive order issued Jan. 19 is designed to encourage travel and tourism in the U.S. and spark economic growth for American businesses.
"Every year, tens of millions of tourists from all over the world come and visit America. And the more folks who visit America, the more Americans we get back to work," Obama said.
The changes – which aim to cut backend waiting time for visa applicants – mark the easing of more stringent restrictions imposed on the student visa process after Sept. 11, 2001, director of GW's International Services Office Greg Leonard said.
"The more multicultural the GW student body, the better the University can prepare its students to live and thrive in an increasingly multicultural world," he said.
Universities nationwide, including GW, have ramped up efforts in recent years to attract more international students – who generally pay full tuition – while American students increasingly demonstrate higher need for financial aid in the face of the recession.
International student enrollment in the U.S. increased 5 percent to reach more than 723,000 students in the 2010 to 2011 academic year, according to the most recent Open Doors report by the Institute of International Education.
Foreign students still make up less than 4 percent of all college enrollments – representing a largely untapped market for American universities.
"Streamlining our processes and procedures and making them more user-friendly for students and visitors will save them time and money and encourage them to choose the United States as their higher education destination," President and CEO of the Institute of International Education Allan Goodman said.
The executive order tasked the departments with interviewing 80 percent of non-immigrant visa applicants within three weeks of submission, expediting the overall process.
Obama also charged the Departments of State and Homeland Security to expand the Visa Waiver Program, which allows travelers from 36 pre-approved countries, including the United Kingdom and Japan, to enter the U.S. without a visa for stays of fewer than 90 days. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton nominated Taiwan to join the waiver program in conjunction with Obama's executive order, according to the White House release.
Last semester, more than 2,500 international students were enrolled in undergraduate and graduate programs at the University – a figure Leonard said he hopes to see grow. International students represent 12 percent of GW's total student population, according to data from The Office of Institutional Research and Planning.
"In many programs, the goal is to have an appropriate balance of U.S. and international students to best prepare all students to function professionally in an environment that is increasingly global in nature," Leonard said.
This academic year, the largest populations of international students at GW are from China, South Korea and India, internal data show.


That's a male ego's defence of inequality.
There is no equality. I thought you had learned that.
Support women being considered less than men.
We each serve different roles.
Not necessarily clearly defined roles.
What not necessarily clearly defined roles?
What strengths and what weaknesses?


With peanut butter at the end?
Until we reach whatever we head to.
And left us standing here alone.
There's no chance for any more.
But it's all the same King of the Games.
Blue skies fled across the hours and days and years….
Your grandfather would cry to see you hug….
…because we are only here such a very short while.

Diversity is a key factor which any artist should always have, it plays a crucial and important part for the success of any artist in today standards and is without doubt a strong quality of Moises Castillo work from realist landscapes, to abstract composition and even as a portrait painter making this his top quality as a painter.
In modern art market abstract composition are the most popular theme that an artist can produce and sell which make Moises work spectacular. Subtle brushstroke with heavy texture are his trademark signature for his abstract composition as seen in the paintings below. The perfectly chosen colors blend in such a way where the color is the primary vehicle towards an emotional reaction evoked in the viewer, striped of any aesthetic or decorative emotion.
Castillos recent works are decidedly figurative, a far cry from the vast, abstract works he's notorious of producing. His settings come together as an eclectic mix of seemingly unrelated subject matter, becoming blurry figurative abstractions that in my opinion are his best work as a more modern painter. The of dark tone with pink contrast background like the work seen here is a painting with a very subtle yet intelligent integration of colouration.
Moises Castillo early works were fixed on portraying things with photographic precision, though with a distinctive attention to detailed surface patterns as often using large masses of solid color and painted with a broad brushstroke. Definitely a more complex technique that Puerto Rico artist are notorious of mastering the "Costumbrismo". This work has always been very well executed by Castillo but in my humble opinion his later works are the one that command higher price and collectors tend to acquire more thanks to the beautiful arrays of colors and composition brought by the artist.
In my opinion Moises Castillos is a very complete artist his works share an emotional intensity, an undercurrent of raw feeling dictated by the use of bold colors, a structure and consistency that leaves the spectator wanting more. Any GREAT collector should have a Castillos work in their collection since already he's consider a modern Puertorican master and is a SMART investment for the future with a very high probability that his work will be part of every museum collection in Puerto Rico in a near, future making his work a must for any private collection.

Nathan said to David, "You are the man! Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel: I anointed you king over Israel, and I rescued you from the hand of Saul; I gave you your master's house, and your master's wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would have added as much more. Why have you despised the word of the Lord, to do what is evil in his sight? You have struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the Ammonites. Now therefore the sword shall never depart from your house, for you have despised me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife. David said to Nathan, "I have sinned against the Lord." Nathan said to David, "Now the Lord has put away your sin; you shall not die.

Four structures dominate the square, such as The Government Palace, National Library of Finland, University of Helsinki's main building and The Helsinki Cathedral. The Cathedral is one of, if not the most popular tourist views. WhatsCheaper.com also wants you to know that, in the crypt of the Cathedral, exhibitions and concerts can be found.

Early struggles plagued the Ohio State women's lacrosse team yet again. This time it was costly.
The Buckeyes (3-1) dropped their first game of the year, 19-9, to the No. 15 Stanford Cardinal (2-3) by digging themselves into a four-goal deficit in the first 12 minutes of the game. This marks the fifth time the Cardinal have taken down the Buckeyes in the last five seasons, with OSU's last win coming in 2012.
Stanford dominated the ball in the early goings in large part due to OSU's 12 first-half turnovers. The Cardinal would capitalize off of the Buckeyes' mistakes with their first goal from junior midfielder Kelly Myers coming at the 25:45 mark. Stanford would then grab three more unassisted goals from sophomore midfielder Genesis Lucero, senior attacker Elizabeth Cusick and senior attacker Anna Salemo.
OSU, as they've done before, found a way to close the goal gap quickly. Sophomore midfielder Baley Parrott netted the first goal for the Scarlet and Gray with 15:46 remaining in the first half. Within five minutes of Parrott's seventh goal of the season, the game was tied.
Freshman midfielder Liza Hernandez would score her first of two goals on the day, which was followed shortly by Wood's seventh score of the year. Freshman midfielder Sage Darling, who made her first appearance of the season last game against Cincinnati, would score her first collegiate goal to tie the game at four.
Stanford responded, going on a 4-1 scoring run to close out the half, sending them to the locker room with an 8-5 lead. The Buckeyes struggled to gain and keep possession throughout the first half, only winning six of 14 draw controls. And despite having 18 less fouls than the Cardinal's 31, it only correlated to two free-position goals in the first half.
OSU won the opening draw of the second half and struck first off of two goals from Wood in the first 71 seconds, narrowing the Cardinal lead to just one. Wood has scored back-to-back hat tricks, putting her season point total at 12.
Stanford stretched its lead back to four with 25:04 remaining in the game. The Cardinal's senior attacker Kelsey Murray would be responsible for two of the goals in that span, her third and fourth of the game, putting her one shy of her season high for goals in a game.
Parrott would connect on her second goal of the evening before Stanford would go on a three-goal run to extend their lead to six, 14-8, with 19:59 left in the game. At the 16:27 mark, Wood found the net yet again, giving her four on the day, this time off an assist from freshman midfielder Alex Vander Molen. It was her 10th assist of the season, putting her at a Big Ten best 2.5 assist per game.
It was a physical game. There were 75 fouls between the two teams, with Stanford being assessed four yellow cards to OSU's three.
Stanford would go on to push their lead out to eight by scoring four consecutive goals for a second time in the contest. The run included a goal from Salemo, giving her her first hat trick of the season.
The Buckeyes would allow two more goals before the game was over, giving Stanford the eventual 19-9 victory. OSU allowed a season-high 36 shots against Stanford and when coupling that with 16 turnovers, it does not add up to a stellar outing.
Now the Buckeyes turn their attention to Sunday's matchup against the California Golden Bears (1-2) in Ohio Stadium at noon.

This is what was left of the cenci, the delicious snack set on the table at Figo's Meatball Bar, after I realized that others may want to try it.
"I said I'd never make meatballs," said Sandro Romagnoli, founder of Figo Pasta. "Even though they were requested on the second day I opened my restaurant, they aren't that common in Italy." But not only did he make them, he created a whole new concept — the Meatball Bar.
Last night a group of us media types were lucky enough to experience the new concept. Naive and laughing, enjoying our refreshing sangria, we had no idea what we were up against. We were about to OD on meatballs.
These larger meatballs are available at all locations of Figo. Note the "iron curtain" that separates the bar from the dining area.
Sandro did warn us. Kind of. He said, "I've had so many meatballs the past seven months. I have been eating and dreaming about meatballs. Now it's your turn." He just didn't warn us how many meatballs we were up against.
So in we dug to the platters and platters of the small round orbs of various ingredients that Sandro has introduced at the Meatball Bar at the Howell Mill Road location. The bar is separated from the main dining room by a row of metal streamers, which the waitstaff jokingly refers to as the iron curtain. The Meatball Bar has its own menu, which includes five types of meatballs with five sauces. You can choose three meatballs for $3.95 and seven for $6.95.
The bruschettina, served with toasted ciabatta bread.
Ingredients ranged from lamb to wild boar with chianti to chicken and artichokes. Our favorite was the Y'all, a pork and bacon sausage with corn, barbecue sauce and collard greens. I can pretty much guarantee you won't find a Y'all meatball anywhere in Italy, or anywhere else in the world for that matter.
The brightly colored sauces ranged from a yellow pepper sauce to barbecue to black olives to picante. We each got our own platter of all the sauces so we could delightedly double dip.
Torta Della Nonna is a traditional Tuscan dessert that translates to Grandma's Cake. It was like eating a slice of the sun. With sugar on top.
While chowing down on these, we enjoyed a few of the signature drinks. I tried the Strawberry Capiroska, made with sake and vodka with fresh strawberries. It was so refreshing and not as heavy as a daquiri, which meant I had room to try another drink. I also loved the Figo Mojito, with a slight flavor of melon from the melon liqueur. These signature drinks are a great value at just $6.
But here is where the problem started. We all thought the eating portion of the meal was over. And in addition to the meatballs, I'd pretty much cleared the table of the crunchy, addictive cenci. These long crinkled pieces of rosemary and chile pepper-flavored fried dough (two of my favorite words) are set down at the table when you first come in. And in my case, disappear shortly after landing.
Next up? The larger meatballs that are available at all Figo locations. These meatballs come in three varieties, are four ounces rather than two, and are baked rather than fried.
Then there was misto salad, penne pasta, bruschettina, and skewers of mozzarella, cherry tomatoes and olives. And of course, dessert. Two kinds. Although the mango pie was delicious, my heart belonged to the Torta Della Nonna, a creamy lemon pie with pine nuts and sugar on top.
Sandro, who is from Florence, was a charming and enthusiastic host, who says he treats each guest like his own mamma. He opened the first Figo as a take-out only place on Collier Road in 2002, and now has seven locations.
We've been fans ever since he opened that first Figo, just around the corner from our house. We always know we can get a good, fresh, affordable meal at Figo. And now we have another reason to visit. As soon as we recover from our meatball hangover.


formed some aluminum flat stock around a gas cylinder to make homemade mounting brackets and bolted it all together. The cheap scope has a camera style tripod connector with a 1/4-20 thread. No tube rings required. But that does make alignment more difficult. The webcam mounted on the scope is a Logitech QuickCam 3000 Pro. This has a CCD sensor not CMOS. The cheap telescope has an aperture around 50 mm and a focal length around 600 mm. The tiny sensor of the webcam makes the system have incredible apparent magnification, but the cheap glass loses too much light. Only the brightest stars can be seen on the computer screen and quality is poor. While a department store telescope works as a guide scope, it was less than ideal.
mm SLR camera lens sees the light of day again. A 1.5" PVC cap fits snugly over the bayonet of the lens. A hose clamp turns snug to tight. A gutted Logitech C510 HD webcam carefully glued to the PVC makes for an easy 10 minute test. I removed the front face and the screw in webcam lens. The tape is just a light shield until I cut some PVC to fit. A 1/4-20 bolt holds the PVC to the aluminum bracket fitted to the telescope OTA in place of a mounting ring. This set up works great. The aperture adjustment is very helpful for adjusting the intensity of the stars to make guiding easier. Focus works smooth and easy just like it did on the camera. Once again, the small sensor creates a high apparent magnification. The image quality of this set up is pretty amazing for junk laying around. The image to the left is a shot of the moon using the webcam through the Minolta lens. Tracking with both PHD and EqAlign has been successful. At less than 6 inches long, this system is very unobtrusive as well. So, I am now using a camera lens as a guiding scope.


REALTORS® are finally being heard, and it makes you want to jump and shout!
Today President Obama delivered the message loud and clear—Home Ownership Matters!
I'm pleased to say that our efforts to make our voices heard by the Administration have had a positive impact. The President agrees with the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) on an overwhelming majority of the housing finance issues of the day.
In a speech at the Desert Vista High School in Phoenix, the President spoke to area REALTORS® and others about housing policy and his vision for reform of the housing finance system. In the speech, he stated his commitment to ensuring consumers retain access to the 30-year mortgage—traditionally the quickest route into the middle class—and cutting red tape so that families have access to safe, reliable mortgages.
Additionally, the President expressed support for reform of the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and the Government Sponsored Enterprises (GSEs). He said the Administration plans to continue the phase-out of GSEs Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, now in conservatorship. At the same time, he supports the creation of a common securitization platform to encourage investment in mortgage-backed securities. NAR agrees with the Administration's view that any new system includes a government guarantee.
The President said he supports the historic affordability role of the FHA, which is critical to first-time homebuyers. While we support the goal of maintaining the FHA as an affordable option, NAR believes the FHA should preserve access for all qualified middle class families.
The Administration calls on Congress to approve refinance programs that provide more relief to troubled borrowers. NAR supports the government's refinancing program, known as "HARP," along with "bright line" standards that provide certainty to community banks selling loans on the secondary mortgage market.
While we have concerns about specific FHA reforms, protecting loan limits and keeping down payments low, we believe recent bipartisan legislation introduced in the Senate is a good place to start. President Obama made good use of the bully pulpit in stating his commitment to protecting the dream of homeownership for all Americans.
Over the past year, REALTORS® have sometimes felt like a voice in the wilderness. No longer.
Congratulations and Thank You for All that you Do for REALTORS@!!!
I joined NAR to sell houses not to join the political party. Realtor party?
What is going on here. Did I miss something?
All politics aside, I realize investing in property is very lucrative, but when the investors don't care about the condition of their homes, it ruins neighborhoods – which bring property values down.
Real Estate is Politics' For God's Sake……That's why it goes up and down, up and down, check out the History of it all.
Everything is based on Politics one way or another. Let's get involved as Realtor's and protect the industry. As Realtor's, we only have the best interests for our clients future. Moving forward to get more families secure and stable, and most importantly, affordable housing, is our main goal and why we work so hard for so little money. Everyone in the country will benefit in the long run. A 30 year mortgage is really not a very long time if you consider that the average lifespan will soon be 100.
The Article is POORLY written. "The President agrees with the National Association of REALTORS" is a misleading statement. The President was not in contact with the NAR and the president did not say that he agrees with the NAR. May be some idea of the Obama administrations are similar to those of NAR and vice versa …So NAR don't try to get credit for something you did not do!!
Thank you President Gary for continuing to promote the Realtor Party.
It is critical at this time to continue to be proactive on the legislative front as our industry continues to get attacked.
As a realtor I sell HOMES, we help build communities and give people a sense of belonging. The most rewarding feeling is going to a closing with a first time homebuyer.
I invest in RPAC to support those legislatures who support REALTOR issues.
Once again thank you and NAR for continuing to protect our industry and private property rights.
As Freddie & Fannie are phased- out, let's require a 1% down payment the 1st year and a 1% increase each additional year or 2 until the rated is level with funding. Average homes in some areas selling for $350,000 would require a $70,000 down payment @ 20% and who has that to give to a bank? Let's get moving!
"Reform of the housing finance system" that sounds scary. "Retain access to 30 year mortgage" what does the government have to do with that? "Cutting red tape" ok I like that. Phase out FHA & GSE ok but what is the creation of a common securitization platform sounds like more government control. I would like to see what HARP has accomplished if anything. "Protecting the dream of home ownership" now that is what the government should be doing, arresting the people that break the law starting with the people at Freddie Mac & Fannie Mae.
I have been Realtor,for 47 years,isn't it a little naive to think being a member of N A R, that selling houses would not be impacted by politics? Whats going on here is what needs to be going on,to help us sell homes and advocate for our buyers and sellers. Yes,I think other wise , something is missing.
Government control in anything is heading us in the wrong direction. That isn't the principle by which our country was built or fought for unto death ! Sorry, Mr.President that's not what we want more control.
Wow!!! I'm pretty sure Obama is more interested in killing more people in Syria than anything to do with helping Americans. It also seems as though Gary Thomas is more interested in helping Obama spread propaganda than he is with helping Realtors. How about putting some of these banksters and corrupt politicians in jail where they belong?
Home ownership in America really matters to the overall economy and we should really get out and educate the buyers of that point, it effects us all.
Amen! The biggest "learning" of the housing boom/bust is that we need to ensure that there is a de minimus chance that home buyers are ever in a negative equite position. That doesn't mean that all home buyers need to make a 20% down payment; but if a potential home buyer only has a de minimus 5% down, that buyer should probably be put into a 20-year amortizing loan. some might say, gosh, that buyer can't buy as much home as a person who has money for a down payment? well, of course not! Jeepers!
The biggest learning of the housing bust is that we need to make sure homeowners have a de miminuis probability of ever ever, being in a negative equity position. Potential buyers who only have a small, barely evident, and not even enough to cover the bid/offer spread of a home purchase should only be able to buy a home if they can qualify for a 20-year or shorter amortization mortgage. Y'all are so right on this!

Will Tyus Battle Return To Syracuse Next Season?
By Tyler Aki
Last week, Tyus Battle entered his name into the NBA Draft. But like seemingly every player in college basketball, he entered his name without an agent. That means he is still eligible to return to college. The draft pool this year is as deep as it has ever been. Seemingly everyone except Oshae Brissett and Deandre Hunter decided to test the waters. A record 236 players entered their names in hopes of being one of the 60 draft selections this June. While many of these players will return to college (see Eastern, Nojel), there will still be a decent amount of players that decide to bet on themselves despite having low prospects this season.
Now the question for Battle is whether he will exercise his possible return. He has until 10 days after the May 20th NBA Draft Combine to decide whether or not he wants to come back. Tim Leonard and I talked about this in podcast form after the news broke last Friday here:
However, some new rumors have surfaced about Battle's potential return. Spectrum Sports Mark Larson reported that Battle is definitely staying in the draft.
Source close to program tells me @tyusbattle1 is definitely not coming back after declaring for the @NBA Draft Friday. Says he almost didn't even finish out the semester. #OrangeEmpire #Syracuse #NBADraft
— Mark Larson (@MLarsonSports) April 23, 2018
There are a couple of major red flags to this report if all the content in it is true. The fact that Battle almost didn't return to school is a dead giveaway that he is on his way out. Dropping out of school is a move that players who are definitely entering the draft make since they know that whatever classes they miss won't impact their eligibility for the next season since they are gone.
At this point, it makes too much sense for Battle to keep his name in. NBA scouts know what Battle is at this point. He's an elite scorer in the nation's toughest conference who dealt with the burden of playing 40 minutes pretty much every night and didn't really break down in the process. By coming back to college, not much is going to change and the door is left open for a potential major injury from playing so many minutes every night.
One of the questions for Battle's translation (like every Syracuse player ever) to the NBA is how his defense will hold up after playing in a zone defense his entire college career. But his frame and quickness suggest that he is NBA ready, not to mention that his defense was one of his major strengths coming out of high school. He should test well there.
Some people criticize Battle's jump shot, but he has shown flashes, especially in the mid-range, that he can knock it down. Along with that, NBA teams will like his frame and athleticism and decide to worry about the jump shot later. With NBA training, his shot will improve drastically after a year of professional training.
At this point, there really is not much that Battle can do to improve his stock. While some people say that next year's class is much weaker than this year's, that's always the case. So many players emerge out of nowhere. Trae Young was far off of people's draft boards, now he's a top 10 pick. The same thing will happen next year with sleeper freshmen and international players. Battle could get lost in the shuffle again, so now is the best time for him to enter the draft. He can make his money and get professional training as early as possible to come full circle on his NBA dream.

This Googler's team is making shopping more inclusive
There's a lot to love about online shopping: It's fast, it's easy and there are a ton of options to choose from. But there's one obvious challenge — you can't try anything on. This is something Google product manager Debbie Biswas noticed, as a tech industry veteran and startup founder herself. "Historically, the fashion industry only celebrates people of a certain size and skin color," she says. "This was something I wanted to change."
Debbie grew up in India and moved to the U.S. after she graduated college. "I started a company in the women's apparel space, where I learned to solve user pain points around shopping for clothes, sizing and styling." While working on her startup, Debbie realized how hard shopping was for women, including herself — the models in the images didn't show her how something would look on her.
"When I got an opportunity to work at Google Shopping, I realized I could solve so many of these problems at scale using the best AI/ML tech in the industry," she says. "As a woman of color, and someone who doesn't conform to the 'traditional beautiful size,' I feel very motivated to solve apparel shopping problems for people like me."

Jeremy Corbyn has been talking dirty to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Twitter. Over the weekend, the congresswoman announced that she was getting involved in a community garden and asked her followers for some "sage words of advice". Corbyn was happy to oblige, imparting tips on using lavender or comfrey to attract bees. "Best way to be healthy is to get your hands dirty – in the soil!" Corybn enthused. It was a wonderfully wholesome exchange.
To some extent, it was inevitable that 29-year-old Ocasio-Cortez would take up horticulture. Gardening is all the rage among urban millennials; though due to the constraints of city-living it normally involves tending to houseplants rather than plots of land. According to a 2018 survey from Garden Research, a company that, well, researches gardens, "younger households reached an all-time high in gardening participation" and 18- to 34-year-olds account for almost a third of houseplant sales in the US. It's a similar story in the UK – a 2018 report from Wyevale garden centres found that millennials are 88% more likely to keep plants in their bedrooms than those aged 65 and over.
"Millennials are filling their homes — and the voids in their hearts — with houseplants," the Washington Post declared in a beautifully condescending article about the fertile phenomenon.
Horticulture's hold on millennials is both a reaction to and a result of the always-on digital world. Plants look good on Instagram – which is why half-naked men pose next to them on popular accounts such as @boyswithplants. More importantly, however, plants provide a much-needed connection to nature. For a couple of minutes, as you water your fiddle-leaf fig tree (the Audi TT of houseplants) you are transported to a simpler, more nurturing time, when it seemed like the world wasn't going to immediately implode due to climate change.
Gardening is also supposed to be therapeutic, although, to be honest, I haven't found this to be the case. Quite the opposite. My attempts to turn my small New York apartment into an urban oasis have been an unmitigated disaster. In the past month alone I have managed to kill 10 succulents. I did everything I could to try to raise the damn things, including singing to them, but that seemed to finish them off even faster. I'm left with a collection of empty terracotta pots gathered on a shelf, as if I'm some kind of serial killer who keeps trophies.
Then you have the bug problem. The other day I was tending to an orchid, feeling very sophisticated, when I saw a cockroach at the bottom of the pot. (PSA: cockroaches like orchids.) I immediately tried to drown it but after some frantic googling I discovered they can hold their breath for 40 minutes under water. A different technique was needed. I briefly thought about burning my house down to get rid of the thing, but eventually settled with thrashing it with a soap dispenser and screaming until I thought it was dead. So there you go: gardening was supposed to make me zen, but it turned me into a murderer who sings to succulents. For the sake of US politics, I really hope it doesn't have the same effect on Ocasio-Cortez.


Whether you live near the ocean or in the desert, the climate affects your vehicle. The elements can cause your vehicle to age prematurely, which means you spend more time and money repairing or replacing your ride. Understanding the climate's effect on your car can help you take important steps that protect your vehicle and prolong its life.
Salt makes food taste better, but it's harsh on a car. Salt from the ocean and road salt that helps prevent slips during icy weather both harm the paint and corrode metal parts. This damage eventually prevents your car from functioning properly.
While it may take several years for damages to become visible, be sure to check your brake calipers, and nuts and bolts frequently. Look for any brown spots that mark the beginning phases of corrosion. Get those spots repaired immediately, because quick action extends your vehicle's life and saves you money.
If you live or store your car near the ocean, consider covering it with a tarp at the end of the day. You can also park in a garage or under another shelter that is covered on all sides.
Also, wash your vehicle from top to bottom, frequently. Remove any residual salt and protect your vehicle's finish, parts and longevity.
While sunshine makes us happy, it does not have the same outcome on cars. Sun exposure compromises your vehicle's paint job and can cause it to bubble, crack, chip or peel. Paint repair can be expensive. To avoid this, try storing your vehicle in the shade, under a tarp or in the garage if you live in a sunny climate. You'll also want to apply wax regularly to protect your vehicle from sun damage.
Damp climates do more than wreck your hair or promote mold growth. Dampness from the ocean or high humidity can accelerate car rust.
To prevent rust growth, keep your vehicle clean and covered, if possible. Check the hood, trunk and door edges frequently to ensure no rust is growing on those hot spots. Be sure to repair any dents or dings right away to prevent rust from developing on those compromised spots.
A certified auto body repair technician can also inspect and repair rust on your vehicle's undercarriage. While even the best auto body tech and full-coverage insurance can't guarantee the rust won't grow back, precautions now can prolong your vehicle's life.
Because it's expensive and valuable, your car needs a little extra care depending on the climate in which you live. Take steps now to protect your vehicle from the elements.

Artificial intelligence, self-driving vehicles, and robotics used to seem unrealistic and too futuristic. But today, these technological advancements are becoming a reality and transforming the logistics industry.
With on-demand logistics on the rise (due to high standards and expectations around accurate, fast, and reliable delivery), technology continues to play a tremendous role in supply chain efficiency.
Learn about the latest supply chain technology advancements that are boosting efficiency throughout the supply chain and further supporting online brands.
5 supply chain technology trends to look out for
Though technology and automation have been involved in the supply chain for quite some time, what once seemed impossible is now becoming part of a new reality, from self-driving trucks to artificial intelligence (AI).
By using a combination of technologies like AI, machine learning, and predictive analytics, online brands can manage complex supply chains by automating warehouse operations, improving delivery times, easily managing inventory, optimizing third-party communication, and creating new customer experiences that increase satisfaction and boost sales.
Here are the top five supply chain technology trends in the works that continue to evolve.
1. Demand forecasting
Tech-enabled demand forecasting has shown to reduce supply chain errors by 30 to 50%.
With inaccurate forecasting, it's easy to lose out on sales due to inaccurate inventory data, which leads to understocking or overstocking issues that result in lost profits.
Traditional inventory forecasting relies primarily on historical data. But with advanced, tech-enabled demand forecasting for supply chain management, online brands are able to forecast demand more accurately, optimize inventory levels efficiently, and replenish inventory accordingly.
Machine learning takes demand forecasting to the next level by enhancing real-time information by aggregating data from multiple internal and external sources, including the use of demographics, weather, online reviews, and even social media (e.g., brand mentions).
For new products being introduced that lack historical data, machine learning can also improve forecasting by identifying trends from similar products and using that data to make better predictions.
2. Artificial intelligence (AI)
AI continues to advance and make waves in the supply chain. Here are some stats:
At least half of logistics supply chains will invest in AI by the end of 2021, garnering a 15% productivity spike.
The estimated impact of AI in the supply chain is between $1.2 trillion and $2 trillion in manufacturing and supply chain planning.
The transportation and logistics industry stands to gain 89%incremental value over time through AI adoption.
For ecommerce supply chains, AI has two categories:
Augmentation: AI that assists humans in their day-to-day tasks.
Automation: AI that can function without human interference.
AI within the supply chain consists of different technology options that help businesses understand complex information and enhance human performance by taking over time-consuming, routine tasks.
Currently, AI enables more visibility and integration across networks, which allows brands to expand their supply chain while keeping everything streamlined. It works by using algorithms to detect patterns, trends, and gaps across an entire supply chain (which also plays a role in accurate forecasting).
So far, 61% of executives reported reduced costs and 53% stated increased revenues after implementing AI into their supply chains.
3. Self-driving trucks
Development of self-driving trucks (currently in beta) is being backed by big investments in hopes to further improve last-mile delivery.
However, with major companies investing billions of dollars in autonomous vehicle startups, there are still years of research, development, and testing to to be done before self-driving technology can be implemented throughout the industry.
However, in the near future, we will see a lot of progress as there is a growing concern around driver shortage and sustainability concerns, which are key factors that are driving major investments in self-driving transportation.
4. Warehouse robotics
Robotics have been in development for quite some time but they are now becoming more common in the ecommerce supply chain. In fact, the first robotics invented were used in manufacturing with the first robotics patented in 1954 and granted in 1961. Manufacturing robotics were invented by George Devol and his company Unimation, which produced the first industrial robot in 1956.
In 1962, General Motors installed the first robot in their New Jersey plant.
For a long time, robots were only suited for work in industrial manufacturing because they weren't safe for people to be around while they were in use. But this has changed, and today, major supply chains have already implemented robotics to speed up and improve accuracy in retail fulfillment.
Order picking can account for 50% or more of your warehouse labor costs, and it leaves less room for warehouse staff to focus on improvements and implementation of new processes.
By implementing robotics to cut down on the labor and time spent on fulfillment (e.g., by walking from one side of a fulfillment center to another), more logistics experts and employees can concentrate on more complicated processes, such as packaging innovations, workflows, and more.
5. Supply chain security
With global ecommerce sales expected to reach $4.89 trillion by the end of the year, supply chain security continues to be a top concern. Expansive supply chains are a prime target for cyberattacks due to the interconnected nature of supply chains and the sharing of data.
Modern security technology reduces risk and enhances protection. Encryption, tokenization, on-demand access, and automatic alerts are all security enhancements that should be used within the modern day supply chain.
Regardless of whose information is being exposed, cyberattacks can cause major security breaches throughout the supply chain, which can also put customer data at risk.
How advancements in supply chain tech are improving logistics
Advancements in supply chain technology are designed for supply chain resilience, so as the industry grows and higher standards are met, ecommerce brands can easily adapt to changes.
Here are some examples on how supply chain technology has already improved logistics operations.
Forecasting future demand
In traditional logistics, forecasting demand was a big challenge and hard to predict. Supply chains once lacked knowledge across operations due to a disconnection between upstream and downstream activities. This caused major discrepancies in inventory reconciliation, which made it hard to ensure there was enough stock available to meet demand and prevent stockouts.
Now, it's possible to connect all sales channels and distribution centers together. This provides a full overview of inventory trends and data across a supply chain network to make better decisions on not just how much inventory to reorder and when, but also where to store certain items based on demand and what channels to sell through based on performance.
On-demand logistics and delivery relies on speed and efficiency. Supply chain management technologies allow for faster delivery expectations with advancements in AI, robotics, and other automation technologies.
By automating much of the supply chain, logistics experts can focus on expanding coverage, improving workflows, and determining how to optimize logistics to get products to where they need to be in the most affordable and fastest way possible.
Higher order accuracy rates
Without implementing technology of any kind, it's a challenge to maintain a higher order accuracy rate (between 95%-98%) when managing a high volume of orders.
Advances in supply chain technology continue to cut out time-consuming, manual tasks that are prone to human error. For instance, warehouse robotics are designed to minimize mistakes by picking, packing, and sorting orders based on accurate data.
It also provides business owners with the information they need to improve order accuracy. For instance, ShipBob is a fulfillment company that provides access to a wide range of distribution metrics that can help merchant calculate a perfect order metric, as well as other metrics to easily monitor performance.
"We monitor the ShipBob dashboard on a daily basis, can view our fulfillment metrics at any time, and see if orders are fulfilled accurately."
Manuel de la Cruz, CEO at Boie
An ecommerce supply chain is constantly moving, and inventory levels and demand shifts frequently (and sometimes unexpectedly).
Real-time monitoring enables business owners and their teams the ability to stay on top of operations with an extra layer of transparency without being involved every minute of the day.
Real-time monitoring is also crucial when it comes to managing inventory. Accessing real-time inventory data provides an accurate and transparent view of inventory levels at any given period of time. It also displays deep insights into past and future demand, as well as SKU and channel performance.
Automated shipping
With several shipping options and methods to choose from, optimizing a shipping strategy to save costs while meeting customer expectations is a challenge.
Automated shipping solutions take the complexity out of shipping by automatically putting customer orders that need to be fulfilled in a queue and eliminating some of the manual tasks involved. Shipping technology can be as intricate as the use of robots, or as simple as adding a layer of software or installing infrastructure like conveyor belts.
Many tech-enabled 3PLs offer automated shipping solutions. For instance, ShipBob pulls transit times, cart values, shipping methods, and ecommerce shipping destinations to help you optimize your costs and test different shipping price strategies.
"Compared to other warehouses we've worked with, ShipBob processes orders so quickly to get them out the door faster. It's fun to see orders shipping out instantaneously. I love how fast and efficient ShipBob is."
Harley Abrams, Operations Manager of SuperSpeed Golf, LLC
ShipBob: A premium, tech-enabled 3PL
Managing a modern, tech-enabled supply chain is a full-time job. Fortunately, it's one of the easiest parts of ecommerce operations to outsource.
ShipBob is a third-party logistics (3PL) with an international fulfillment network powered by best-in-class technology that is constantly being optimized and improved. With ShipBob, you can outsource fulfillment to a team of experts that understand the latest advancements in supply chain technology.
"We researched 3PLs and found a great solution in ShipBob. They worked really well with our core tech stack. ShipBob also owns the entire stack: inventory and order management system, warehouse management system, and their fulfillment centers."
Gerard Ecker, Founder & CEO of Ocean & Co.
Here is how ShipBob's premium fulfillment solution works.
Cloud-based dashboard
ShipBob's proprietary order fulfillment solution is hosted, providing automatic updates, tight security, and compatibility with any leading ecommerce platforms and other ecommerce tools. Because it's cloud-based, ShipBob's software requires no IT resources or strain and helps lower logistics costs.
ShipBob's cloud-based dashboard makes it easy for merchants to access logistics data, real-time inventory tracking, and insights into fulfillment and shipping performance at any time.
"With ShipBob, I have experienced peace of mind and a high-tech solution that allowed me to be removed from that day-to-day fulfillment process like how I was at the previous 3PL."
Courtney Lee, founder of Prymal
Advanced data and analytics
ShipBob's user-friendly merchant dashboard connects to our WMS and gives each merchant deep insights into fulfillment performance, how we're hitting our SLAs, visibility into order status and inventory counts, and much more.
Rather than requesting someone to create a report for you, you can automatically pull them on-demand, eliminating back and forth while increasing transparency.
Through the dashboard, you can access advanced data and analytics along with visuals to help you with everything from year-end inventory reporting, to better supply chain decision-making.
"I used to have to pull inventory numbers from three places everyday and move all the disparate data into a spreadsheet.
ShipBob has an analytics tab in their dashboard with all of this information, which is great for end-of-month reconciliations. It's really nice to not have to operate three 3PLs.
For inventory planning, I love the SKU velocity report, daily average products sold, and knowing how much inventory we have left and how long it will last.
With my old 3PL, I could never just open a page and get the info I wanted. I had to click several times, then export it, and try to make sense of it.
ShipBob lets you manage your inventory while providing important data in a very digestible way."
Having the right tools and technology in place to forecast demand can help you make better-informed supply decisions that estimate the total sales and revenue for a future period of time.
As your business grows, it's likely you will want to establish a multichannel retail strategy and expand customer reach across the world. However, expanding an online brand can build supply chain complexity, making forecasting demand much more challenging.
That's why ShipBob offers demand forecasting tools, including advanced analytics and distribution metrics to help you track SKU performance over time and plan better for the future.
"One of the greatest features of ShipBob's software is the inventory management functionality, which lets us track inventory change and velocity over time. Being able to monitor which styles are selling quickly helps us always keep our best sellers in stock."
Ryan Casas, COO of iloveplum
Automated return management
ShipBob can help automate the returns process in a quick and cost-effective way. You can have returned goods sent back to their respective spots in the warehouse, have them shipped to you, or have us dispose of any defective or damaged items. You can learn more about our returns process here.
ShipBob also partners with leading returns management solutions to enhance the ecommerce returns process. Our Returns API allows merchants to build a custom returns workflow and connect to any type of platform.
"For reverse logistics, we have also been leveraging ShipBob's Returns API to automate and streamline our routine RMA processes. Having ShipBob handle our returns has been a huge help in reducing our daily workload, and the ability to drive this process via API is wonderful."
Waveform Lighting Team
Holding costs (warehouse staffing, storage, inventory shrinkage, and depreciation costs) should be closely monitored and calculated to help ensure less discrepancies.
But conducting inventory audits is time-consuming process. Thankfully, inventory management software automates the inventory management process, including the ability to sync your online store with inventory management solution or utilize a 3PL's fulfillment software.
ShipBob's technology includes built-inventory management features and functionality to control stock, set reorder point notifications to be notified as soon as inventory runs low, and measure inventory days on hand.
"ShipBob's analytics tool has been great to have. We can see inventory reconciliations and easily view SKU velocity, transit times, and inventory distribution recommendations."
Pablo Gabatto, Business Operations Manager at Ample Foods
Since ShipBob's entire international fulfillment network is powered by the same warehouse management system (WMS), you get full visibility into operations and the ability to keep track of inventory performance as finished goods move through the supply chain.
ShipBob's warehouse management technology allows merchants to use several fulfillment locations under one network.

Some of you were full-on annoyed that I didn't include Tina Fey's bun in my Best Of Oscars roundup, but, you guys, you've got to cut me some slack. There was a whole mess of gorgeousness going on last night—it was really hard to pick a top 10. Plus, Petra included her in her roundup of 4 little things you might have missed. But for those of you who are still plotting my demise, I'm here to make things right with a how-to from her hairstylist Richard Marin. See? I'm nice! Still friends?
Some of you were full-on annoyed that I didn't include Tina Fey's bun in my Best Of Oscars roundup, but, you guys, you've got to cut me some slack. There was a whole mess of gorgeousness going on last night—it was really hard to pick a top 10. Plus, Petra included her in her roundup of 4 little things you might have missed. But for those of you who are *still *plotting my demise, I'm here to make things right with a how-to from her hairstylist Richard Marin. See? I'm nice! Still friends?
"I actually began Tina's hair on Saturday night for a 'the night before' party! Blow drying with Remington's new Keratin Therapy Dryer, I sprayed heat protectant and used a round medium sized brush. With the 1.5 inch Remington Keratin Therapy Clipless Curling Iron I took sections of hair and created soft 40s inspired waves.
"On Sunday, she didn't touch her hair at all leaving me with the perfect second day blowout. After adding some extensions and reviving her curls with the curling iron, I brushed it up into a high ponytail and then created a loose, textured bun. I pinned it into place finishing with a spritz of hairspray to control flyways, and off she went!"
OK, I know that isn't super-detailed, so let me add my two cents in here. If I were recreating this, I'd split my hair up into two sections, top and bottom. Then I'd pin the bottom section in a half-bun shape at the nape of my neck first before pulling the top portion straight back first. This is a key step in the shape you see—you've got to pull it straight back before you pull it counterclockwise over top of the bottom section so it looks like it could be a ponytail from the front. Then I'd stick in a few pins the outer part of the two-bumped bun where it meets the head to get that cool pin-tuck effect you see along the side there. Oh, and I'd also loosen the very front of my hair, too—heigh it important there.
Those are the basics. Think you could pull it off?

Wave riding history was made this summer. Slyde Handboards hosted the mainland's first ever competition devoted exclusively to the sport of handboarding. More than 50 contestants competed in four different divisions (groms, teens, men over 20, and women over 20).
As an offshoot of bodysurfing, the contest drew a mixed bag of lifeguards, water polo players, swimmers, and ocean lovers. The swell held strong while a crowd of over 100 waveriding enthusiast excitedly watched.
Talented watermen and water women were everywhere, but fun was the overriding theme of Slydefest. Stealing the spotlight was the Tandem Floatie heat, a crowd favorite where duos shredded on an inflatable pineapple, cactus, lobster, pizza, and a banana.
Novelty entertainment aside, ultimately one waterman and one water woman topped the headlining event. Mark Cunningham, a retired lifeguard from Hawaii and a bodysurfing living legend, and Makena Magro, the grand champion of World Bodysurfing Champions in Oceanside, were the winners of the first ever handboarding contest held in California. The good vibes of the day and the future of handboarding were best captured in Mark's acceptance speech.
