The Industrial Truck Association (ITA) held its fifth annual National Forklift Safety Day today. The event serves as an opportunity for forklift manufacturers to highlight the safe use of forklifts, the value of operator training, and the need for daily equipment checks.
This year's speakers, along with elected officials and industry representatives, discussed the effectiveness of training to support successful safety programs across a broad spectrum of industries. The event raises awareness on the value of safety to those who produce, operate, and work on or around forklifts.
As part of National Forklift Safety Day, many ITA members and their dealers are sponsoring forklift safety events for their customers, which includes free safety consultations, distributing safety materials, operator training and hosting open houses.
Furthering its mission to raise awareness and improve safety, ITA has continued its alliance with Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to provide Compliance Officer Training Seminars to OSHA inspectors across the country. ITA has presented the seminar to more than 600 OSHA personnel and covered all of OSHA's 12 regions. OSHA estimates that about 70% of forklift accidents in the U.S. could be prevented with proper training.
Following are some of the events taking place today and throughout the month of June.
Wisconsin Lift Truck and Illinois Material Handing, members of the Wolter Group and providers of certified forklift training, have expanded their safety training portfolio to include virtual reality simulators for purchase or rent, to incorporate into customer training curriculums. Forklift operators experience realistic forklift controls, maneuverability and the challenges of moving product(s) and pallets all in a controlled environment with the use of VR goggles.
With today's limited workforce talent, companies must be ready to bring workers onboard whom are new to the industry. To get them up to speed quickly, VR forklift simulators enhance the learning experience of first time operators, while aiding in correcting the bad habits of seasoned operators.
"Our customers find it most important to be able to educate forklift operators while in a hazard-free environment, and allow as much practice as needed before getting behind the wheel of the real thing. Not only is it a safer solution, virtual reality forklift training is multi-sensory, proving to increase retention while minimizing the time required to train." says Tony Parsons, operator training manager of Wolter Group LLC.
Illinois Material Handling will be hosting the company's first VR forklift simulator demo on June 12 in honor of National Forklift Safety Day. This event will begin with an introduction to the Forklift Simulator, followed by a live demo and the opportunity for attendees to try the simulator for themselves.
In conjunction with National Forklift Safety Day, the Propane Education & Research Council has launched a forklift safety photo contest, which asks facility managers and their employees to submit photos that show how they are raising the standard for forklift safety on the job. According to OSHA, 70% of all forklift accidents could be avoided with proper training and policy. The photo contest aims to spread awareness of those safety practices.
The contest will run until July 13. Each participant who submits a photo of how they safely operate their propane forklift will receive a free safety poster for their facility and will be entered to win a catered lunch and T-shirts for their entire facility staff, courtesy of PERC.
For contest information, visit www.ForkliftSafetyContest.com. For more information on propane forklift safety, visit propane.com/forklifts.
Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America Inc. (MCFA), a manufacturer of forklifts under the Cat lift trucks, Mitsubishi forklift trucks and Jungheinrich brands, is encouraging forklift safety and operator training through its campaign "Engaged in Safety." The campaign reinforces the message that forklift certification helps ensure that forklift operators are properly trained and aware of the risks and dangers associated with operating a forklift in their environment.
Crown Equipment is using National Forklift Safety Day to kick off an ongoing educational campaign designed to raise awareness of important forklift safety topics.
The campaign is built around the availability of new safety resources and content on its website. Beginning on National Forklift Safety Day, a series of safety-related articles will be posted to Crown's blog. Topics include "five steps to improving forklift safety" and "tips for engaging operators in forklift safety." A new product safety features guide will be available for download on Crown's safety page. The campaign also includes a series of educational safety posters, featuring tips on docking, tipovers, speed and more, that will be released sequentially for download so end users can display within their facility.
As part of the campaign, Crown will also be highlighting customer stories that feature safety best practices and impactful results, including PEER Bearing, a bearing manufacturer that used Crown's fleet and operator management system and training course to advance its safety culture.
Company representatives from Yale Materials Handling Corp. will be in Washington, D.C., for the official NFSD events, participating in educational sessions and meeting with congressional representatives on safety, education and workforce.
In addition to the corporate presence in Washington, NFSD takes a local twist with Yale dealers. For example, Barclay Brand Ferdon is welcoming visitors to its third annual Safety Summit in South Plainfield, NJ.
Yale's commitment to safety is also evident in its safety-enhancing lift truck features. The Yale Smart Operator Sensing System uses detection sensors, rather than pedals, to reinforce proper operating position while offering more usable floor space and improved comfort. The Continuous Stability System (CSS) is a simple mechanical system built into the fundamental design of the truck, improving stability with no maintenance requirements, sensors, controllers or extra wiring.
The company's Yale Handle with Care Operator Training Program draws on 40 years of experience developing professional lift truck operator training. The video-based program covers all five lift truck classes, with necessary tools for customized operator training. Yale also offers pedestrian and forklift safety tip posters that feature best practice checklists based on OSHA regulations.
Toyota Material Handling, U.S.A. Inc. (TMHU) has announced its North American dealerships will offer no-cost forklift safety consultations for customers in honor of National Forklift Safety Day. The consultations, provided by authorized Toyota dealers in more than 230 locations in North America, can provide insight about ways to reduce risk in the workplace.
In addition to the safety consultations, Toyota offers training programs and materials along with online resources that address several key safety areas in material handling. Most Toyota forklifts come standard with safety-focused technology features such as the System of Active Stability and Active Mast Function Control, both unique to Toyota.

Garagarockband Traumahelikopter will be performing at Northside Festival, during Dutch Sounds @ Northside
Garagarockband Traumahelikopter will be performing at Northside Festival, during Dutch Sounds @ Northside, on June 14 at The Urban Outfitters Space 98 Stage at 1:35pm, and at Bar Matchless at 5pm.
Traumahelikopter is a garagerock band with a devil-may-care-attitude, which was founded in Groningen in 2010 by leadvocalist Mark Lada, guitarist Daan van Dalen, and drummer Roel van Merlot.
They produced their first full-length album in 2013, which was recorded in a week and got the band great reviews from a magazine like Maximum Rock 'n Roll and many of the biggest Dutch newspapers. The single 'Down In The City' was featured by sites as Pitchfork and Noisey and ranked among Huffington Posts' 'Best Songs Of 2013'. The band has been touring non-stop ever since, playing all over Europe and in the US.
On traumahelikopter's second album 'I Don't Understand Them At All' we enter the mind of 25 year old singer Mark Lada, who writes about alienation, depression, loneliness and despair. The songs are more intense and personal than on the band's self-titled debut, released by Excelsior Recordings and Burger Records this year.
On their second album, Mark states: "I wanted to make a record which has the same punk intensity as our first album, but in a more melodious way. With our debut being a stripped- down 27- minute statement, this record focusses on the songs". The band's minimal set up (floor tom, snare, crash, two guitars) ties them down to te essence of it all; rock 'n roll. The lyrics display their love for irony, with a song like 'Last Night I Dreamed I Killed Myself' being the ultimate sing-a-long.
With a mutual love for rock 'n roll music and a destructive perspective on daily life, it didn't take long before Mark Lada and Daan van Dalen became BFF's. After multiple bad breakups, college debts and shitty call center jobs, the two took residence in an old warehouse building to write songs. After a while, the guys hooked up with Roel van Merlot, who turned out to be the ultimate addition to transform the band into an iconic trinity, based around drums, electric guitar and electric guitar. National newspapers concluded that "traumahelikopter has found the essence of rock 'n roll." Go see for yourself at Northside!
Traumahelikopter will also perform in Philadelhpia at Connie's Ric Rac on June 10th and at The Delancey on June 16.

The Museum of Mississippi History (left) received $750,000 through the Community Foundation for Mississippi from a bequest from John and Lucy Shackelford.
Community foundations kick off tax-credit drive
Posted by: Jack Weatherly in MBJ FEATURE, NEWS, Real Estate & Construction June 13, 2019
By JACK WEATHERLY
If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. So goes the axiom.
Yet that leaves open the possibility that it can be true.
The seven community foundations of Mississippi asked the Legislature for $2.5 million in tax credits over five years to start the Endow Mississippi Program.
The full amount was approved in the 2019 session with overwhelming votes in both houses.
"It was an easy sell" to the constituencies, "because it was going to support their communities," said Jane Alexander, president of the Community Foundation for Mississippi, which serves 22 counties in central and southwest Mississippi.
Mississippi, a poor state, is perennially No. 1 or No. 2 in charitable giving, Alexander noted. While much of that is for churches and synagogues, there are many private charities.
The foundations' mission is to help those inclined to support their communities develop "a strategy, giving with a plan."
Applications can be made starting Saturday. the Community Foundation for Mississippi can be reached at (601) 696-3035 or formississippi.org. The deadline is the end of September. (See all seven foundations listed in separate article.)
The minimum annual gift to an existing endowed fund is $1,000. The maximum amount is $200,000. To establish an endowed fund, $25,000 is the minimum, though that can be done in increments, she said.
Jane Alexander, president and chief executive of the Community Foundation for Mississippi.
The main role of the foundations is to help those inclined to give back to their communities shape their ideas.
The late John and Lucy Shackelford left $8.8 million – half of their estate – in 2015 to help rebuild the Capitol Street corridor in downtown Jackson, where they spent much of their time during their courting years, and before they accumulated their wealth in the timber and lumber businesses.
The Jackson-based foundation's board of trustees has put some of that money to use:
» $750,000 to the Museum for Mississippi History, which opened in December 2017.
» 250,000 to the Mississippi Arts Museum renovation.
» $50,000 to the Thalia Mara Hall renovation.
» $180,000 to the Mississippi Museum of Arts.
» $30,000 to Greenwood Cemetery, Jackson.
» $150,000 to Operation Shoestring for children in downtown and midtown.
Gifts to established funds totaled $4.6 million in 2018, according to the Community Foundation for Mississippi, formerly the three-county Community Foundation for Greater Jackson.
Participants are already queuing up like moviegoers and ready to buy a ticket at the box office, Alexander said.
Why the hurry?
One reason is that the balance from the starting $500,000 is not carried over to the next year, Alexander said.
"We're going to exhaust that pool," she said. That has been the case in states on which Mississippi modeled its legislation, which was sponsored by Sen. Joey Fillingane and Rep. Jeffrey Smith, Alexander said.
Time is tight, she said. "The clock started Jan. 1, but . . . [the legislation] wasn't signed until mid-April and [since] we've had to refine the application process . . . we're going to have six months" ending Dec. 31.
Each of the seven community foundations has been allocated $50,000 in the tax credits, to be awarded by Sept. 30.
That will leave $150,000 up for grabs once the foundations have claimed their share.
"We don't want to leave any money on the table," Alexander said.

This page highlights innovative internal uses of Nova Scotia's open data. If you have used data from the Nova Scotia Government's Open Data Portal and would like to share more information, please get in touch with the Open Data Program and tell us more!
Municipal Affairs now publishes the Municipal Profile and Financial Condition Indicators as a combined PDF report to help provide insight into the financial condition and health of Nova Scotia communities. These indicators include measures such as reliance on government transfers, total number of deficits, operating reserve, and liquidity for each municipality.
When Municipal Affairs releases this report, they also make the data behind the report available on the Nova Scotia Government's Open Data Portal. By proactively releasing the datasets on the portal, the department reduces requests for the background data, improves overall accountability and transparency, and supports broader analysis and reuse of the data by the public.
Preparing annual Co-operatives reports was very labour intensive and time consuming. By the time that the reports were published on the website, the data was not current and the information in the PDF format is static. The information in these reports could not be updated even though we continued to receive late filings relating to that reporting year.
Audrey Gay identified a better way – by using the Open Data Portal to provide the public with easy access to this information as well as the ability to use Portal functions to sort, chart and graph this information.
This initiative saved over 100 hours each year, leading to more efficient internal processes, and an increased client experience.


Your first visit to our orthodontist office will be a free exam for you or your child. The doctor will carefully examine the teeth for a wide range of possible orthodontic problems, such as crowding, cross-bite, gaps, etc. Once the doctor has a clear picture of the most likely course of treatment, we'll discuss what type of treatment is necessary and how long it will take. We will also estimate how much it will cost. You'll understand everything you need to know in order to decide whether to proceed with treatment.
If you decide to proceed with treatment after your complimentary exam, records are made to determine the best orthodontic treatment. Complete diagnostic records typically include a medical/dental history, clinical examination, study models of the teeth, photos of the patient's face and teeth, and X-rays. This information is used to develop a custom treatment plan that addresses the unique needs of each patient. These records are also helpful in tracking the progress of treatment as the teeth move under orthodontic care.
After the records appointment, we'll be ready to schedule an appointment to have your new appliances (braces, expanders, etc.) placed. That process usually takes one to two hours. You'll then see us at regular intervals of four to eight weeks for adjustments, which take about 30 minutes.

Fidelity Bank Staff Salary Structure
Fidelity Bank Nigeria Plc. is a large Nigerian commercial bank. It is one of the most capitalized banks in Nigeria and indeed Africa, with assets worth in excess of #1 trillion naira. Fidelity bank has a huge customer base with several branches littered across Nigeria.
Among all the banks in Nigeria, Fidelity bank is known for its culture of excellence in the provision and delivery of its innovative products and services. It also has a preference for absolute satisfaction for its customers, no matter the cost.
As is well known, employees of banking institutions are one of the highest earners in the Nigerian labour market. Second only to the Oil and Gas industry, the banking industry is often the dream of many young graduates and youth corpers seeking jobs. However, to really make a fortune in the banking industry, the aspiring banker will need to be patient, hardworking, dedicated and also ready to establish and maintain a good working relationship with their colleagues and superiors.
How Much Does a Fidelity Bank Staff Earn
Fidelity bank is one of the well-paying banks in Nigeria. Their average salary surpasses the general average salary threshold for all levels of employees in the Nigerian banking sector. It is worthy to note that Fidelity bank, just like most other banks, has different cadres of staffs, and the salary structure is operated and sustained with reference to these different staff classes. Among many classifications, there are two major categories of bank staffs, which are permanent staffs and temporary staffs. As the names imply, permanent staffs are those that are employed on permanent basis; while temporary staffs are those employed on contract or temporary basis and whose contracts/terms of engagement are reviewed periodically and assessed, after which a decision to renew or annul the contract is taken by the bank.
Under these two main categories, there are a number of sub-categories, and it is these sub-groups that determine the monthly salary earned.
Sub-groups under the temporary staffs' category include:
Interns/IT Students: Earnings in this class depend on the employee's qualification, terms of employment and department within the bank. In all cases, the monthly salary is usually in the range of #10,000 –#15,000 naira.
Graduate Trainees: These are qualified individuals who are employed by the bank and put on compulsory specialized training for a period of time; during which they will still function as temporary staffs until their training is completed and their performances assessed, after which a decision is taken on whether they will be drafted in to the bank system as permanent staffs. Graduate trainees earn approximately #60,000 naira monthly.
Sub-groups under the permanent staffs' category include:
Entry-level staffs: The entry-level category is the basic level of permanent staffs. Their functions within the bank differ across a number of departments, and they earn a monthly salary package of #140,000 naira. Asides this basic net pay, they are also entitled to receive a discretionary annual bonus, as well as other benefits that may or may not include free healthcare, performance incentives, and etcetera.

Blog Tour: My Dear Hamilton by Stephanie Dray and Laura Kamoie

My Dear Hamilton: A Novel of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton by Stephanie Dray, Laura Kamoie
Published by William Morrow Paperbacks on April 3rd 2018
From the New York Times bestselling authors of America's First Daughter comes the epic story of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton—a revolutionary woman who, like her new nation, struggled to define herself in the wake of war, betrayal, and tragedy. Haunting, moving, and beautifully written, Dray and Kamoie used thousands of letters and original sources to tell Eliza's story as it's never been told before—not just as the wronged wife at the center of a political sex scandal—but also as a founding mother who shaped an American legacy in her own right.
A general's daughter…
Coming of age on the perilous frontier of revolutionary New York, Elizabeth Schuyler champions the fight for independence. And when she meets Alexander Hamilton, Washington's penniless but passionate aide-de-camp, she's captivated by the young officer's charisma and brilliance. They fall in love, despite Hamilton's bastard birth and the uncertainties of war.
A founding father's wife...
But the union they create—in their marriage and the new nation—is far from perfect. From glittering inaugural balls to bloody street riots, the Hamiltons are at the center of it all—including the political treachery of America's first sex scandal, which forces Eliza to struggle through heartbreak and betrayal to find forgiveness.
The last surviving light of the Revolution…
When a duel destroys Eliza's hard-won peace, the grieving widow fights her husband's enemies to preserve Alexander's legacy. But long-buried secrets threaten everything Eliza believes about her marriage and her own legacy. Questioning her tireless devotion to the man and country that have broken her heart, she's left with one last battle—to understand the flawed man she married and imperfect union he could never have created without her…
"In the secret seethings of my discontented heart, I've searched for a life that is my own. A life not consumed by the questions he left in his wake—riddles I will never solve about our marriage, our family, and the suffering to which he exposed us. I've searched for a meaning to my existence not swallowed up by Hamilton's shadow. By his genius. By his greatness. By his folly."
Welcome to my stop on the blog tour for My Dear Hamilton: A Novel of Eliza Schuyler Hamilton! Prior to reading this book, I was not wrapped up in all of the Hamiltonmania. I have not seen Hamilton on Broadway. I have not listened to a single song on the soundtrack. That has all changed, my friends. I am a believer and it's all because of this book! I'm stalking Stub Hub and entering the Hamilton lottery on a daily basis. I'm on the verge of spending a ridiculous amount of money on tickets. If the play is as good as this book, it'll be money well spent. I realize they may be very different stories but My Dear Hamilton has truly kindled in me a desire to learn more about this part of American history. (Or relearn since I'm sure the good people who issued my H.S. diploma did touch upon this period back in the day.)
Before I go on to list everything I loved about this book, I'm just going to put this out there: There was not a single thing I had an issue with. Nothing I can criticize in 637 pages.
This is the third book I've read recently that is co-authored. (Is this a new trend or is it a coincidence?) The writing is so beautiful and seamless it's unbelievable. The authors obviously did a tremendous amount of research in terms of the historical content. But seriously, I was blown away by the gorgeous prose. The voice they gave to Eliza Huntington was one any woman would be proud to have. Like many of the most loved and respected women in history, Eliza was a force. She was intelligent – both emotionally and intellectually. She knew how to finesse situations private and political to further the agenda of the side she felt was in the right. She maintained public composure while under unimaginable duress. She loved her family with a loyalty and ferocity that made her a formidable opponent when threatened or challenged. In short, I loved her.
Sadly, hers was not an easy life in any sense. Women, it seems, were not meant to have lives of their own in the late 1700s and early 1800s. Despite the fact that she influenced the man who influenced so much of Americas past and present, Eliza was, on a day-to-day basis, expected to be the quiet and supportive wife. Though she was proud of her husband's career and accomplishments, this understandably frustrated her.
Eliza's relationship with Hamilton was as complicated as Hamilton himself. Though this is Eliza's story, I really enjoyed getting to know Hamilton through the eyes of the authors.
If you love historical fiction and books with strong female characters, My Dear Hamilton is a must read!

Excellent review! So much to history we never knew or didn't care to ingest when we were young.
Thank you, Virginia! It's so true. As a young person, I thought history was boring. It was just a bunch of names and dates I felt no real connection to. I can't imagine feeling that way now.

Oh, I can't wait to hear what you think!
oh awesome 😀 glad you loved it so much, I do not know much about Hamilton either, but now really excited about this book
I absolutely loved it. I'd love to know what you think if you're able to work it in to your TBR!
Susie | Novel Visits says
Sounds spectacular. I only wish it wasn't quite so long. I tend to like historical fiction, though not early Americana, but I may have to give this one a try anyway. I think in the summer when I have a little more time to devote to a lengthy book.
It is lengthy but it was a fairly quick read all things considered. Early Americana isn't my go-to either but I really enjoyed this one. I think it would make a nice summer read.

I was really blown away by the prose too and I agree, there was no indication it was co-authored. Such a great read 🙂
Thanks, Katie! I'm so glad to hear that you enjoyed it as well. All the reviews I've read this far have been very favorable.

MUSIC WE'RE LOVING RIGHT NOW – MUSIC IS MY LIFE BY MATT WARREN
March 13, 2019 Vivre Le Rêve
It's been a while since we've written about our new music favourites. Speaking of new, yesterday I stumbled across this beauty of an album by Matt Warren, entitled 'Music Is My Life' and I must have played it a least three times since. I've had to do an absolute ridiculous amount of driving lately and this is exactly my kind of driving music. You know, everybody has their own taste in music. That especially comes into play when they're driving and my favourite is definitely House, so this fits the bill nicely. I say it's one for the car, as you'll play it over and over!
Music Is My Life features eleven tracks, this is the sound of Chicago House fast forward 40 years. This album represents the birth of Nu-House and will bring you to your feet no matter where you are on the planet. This is an essential album for anyone even with just a passing interest of electronic or dance music. This is house music with soul, melody and emotion. What sets Mr Warren's compositions ahead of many other artists out there is his ability to find soul amongst the machines.
This is just uplifting, positive music. It's a mix of soulful and deep house and is an exemplary case of 'keeping it simple'. With its synth-dance rhythm, sublime soul-infused vocal and top vibes playing, repeated to what should be annoying effect, but structured in such a way and with such a sublime melody, that any repetition-effect becomes a positive selling point. A timeless masterpiece, no question.
I just love the old school feel to all of the songs, real music with live instruments and arrangements. Matt Warren commands the electronic instruments, recording, engineering and production of the tracks with the results one would expect of the life long House force. Matt Warren is one of the few artists out there who strives to perfect his God-given musical talents. The music found on this track is beautifully crafted together to create an all time classic. It's just so deliciously smooth and soulful that I feel he really does connect emotionally to his songs, and I think in this day and age very few artists really do.
It's really so unlike a lot of the music that is out now. Where the same annoying sentiments are rehashed using the same annoying whining tones. Sometimes the serendipitous discoveries really are the most pleasing. No imitator is this one despite the inevitable comparisons – rather, this one is the real deal. This album provides the perfect marriage between arrangements that will make you sit up and listen. Indeed, it is this which will perhaps leave a lasting impression, but I'll let you decide for yourself. Check it out and let me know what you think! If you enjoy the album as much as I do, you can keep up to date with their latest offerings by following them on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

DENTAL MERCURY FILLINGS
(Investigator 164, 2015 September)
In the early 1990s, the claim that the mercury in dental fillings was causing major health problems began to receive some currency. A sensationalised report "Poison in Your Mouth" aired on CBS's 60 Minutes in December 1990, was sufficient to boost the anti-amalgamist point of view and frighten many people.
A survey done for the American Dental Association in April 1991 tested the impact of the 60 Minutes broadcast. It found that nearly half the 1,083 adults surveyed associated health problems with silver fillings in their teeth. People were advised that because of those fillings they should be concerned that they may develop health problems. Four per cent had had their silver fillings removed, another 14% had considered removal.
The anti-amalgamists' claims include:
* that since mercury is a toxic metal, any amount is toxic to the body.
* that the symptoms of mercury toxicity are so vague that mainstream health professionals do not recognise them.
* that the removal of silver fillings has relieved the sufferings of patients with mysterious, undiagnosed conditions and degenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis.
* that organised dentistry opposes banning amalgam out of financial interest or fear of a class action lawsuit by those who have had mercury amalgams fillings.
* that mercury from dental fillings can cause major diseases such as multiple sclerosis, cancer, chronic fatigue and more.
These allegations are unfounded.
Although mercury is wide-spread in the natural environment, because the levels are so low it is not toxic.
Considerable research has been done over the last century and mercury toxicity is well-known in the fields of environmental and occupational medicine. Dental amalgams do release ions. However the difference between body loads of people with and without amalgams is insignificant and poses no health problems.
The American Dental Association has refuted the claim that the continued use of amalgams would be in their financial interest, pointing out that it would be financially advantageous to them since its replacement would necessitate the use of more costly materials.
Further, there is absolutely no evidence that mercury amalgam fillings have any connection with MS or any other complaint.
A subsequent inquiry by the United States Public Health Service in 1994, confirmed the finding that there is no evidence to support anti-amalgamists' claims. In a review of the toxicology of mercury, the U.S. Public Health Service found the high level of mercury in the urine of people with "more than 30 dental amalgams" was 4.8 micrograms per litre. No adverse health effects occur below 25 micrograms per litre.
Equally misinformed is the anti-fluoridation lobby who claim amongst other things, that compulsory fluoridation of drinking water is "poisoning" our food supply, that it is "forced medication" and even a "communist plot".
The statistics show however, beyond any reasonable doubt, that since the adjustment of the natural fluoride concentration in the public water supply system, it has proved to be a modern health miracle — far fewer decayed teeth, and stronger and longer lasting teeth.

Two's company: the lure of Toruń and Bydgoszcz
Art & Culture | History | Regions
Joanna Jasińska September 18, 2020
City of water: rivers and canals run through Bydgoszcz. Kalbar/TFN
A tale of two cities: Bydgoszcz and Toruń are medieval trading centres and also modern and bustling hubs of culture, tourism, and art. Although often considered at odds with each other, the two neighbouring cities have both a rich history and a more modern face to offer to visitors, each with their own twist.
For years, Bydgoszcz was seen as the ugly duckling of the two cities, which are located only 40 kilometres from each other. Both are well connected and easy to reach - just a couple of hours by train from either Warsaw or Gdańsk.
Old granaries in Bydgoszcz.Kalbar/TFN
Owing to its own little Venice (an eclectic complex of tenement houses and buildings along the River Młynówka ), the River Brda, which passes through the middle of the city, and the Bydgoszcz Canal many of Bydgoszcz's most interesting spots are connected to water and life around it.
The origins of Bydgoszcz date back to the 10th century and the early days of the Polish state. A settlement on the junction of the Brda and Vistula rivers, it was used to guard the crucial trading routes, and quickly developed into a strategic stronghold.
Water runs through Mill Island.Kalbar/TFN
A source of contention between the Teutonic Order and Poland in the 14th century, it finally came into Polish hands from 1343. From then on the settlement received city rights and a number of royal privileges, and became an important trading centre and competitor to nearby Toruń. Granary houses on Grodzka Street, although built several centuries later, represent the trade-orientated side of the city.
Although the Old Town Square and its restaurants are worth dropping into, it is a great idea to venture slightly further and discover the varied architecture of Bydgoszcz. From neo-gothic and neo-baroque, to beautiful modernist and Art Nouveau houses along Cieszkowskiego and Gdańska streets, the city has something for everyone.
It is also a city of music and theatre, with several music and art schools such as the Feliks Nowowiejski Academy of Music. The Opera Nova and the Polish Theatre in Bydgoszcz are the places to go for quality performances by graduates of the esteemed schools.
The Opera Nowa overlooks the Bydgoszcz Canal.Kalbar/TFN
While in Bydgoszcz, it is impossible to miss the Mill Island. Renovated from 2004 to 2012, it is the best spot for a bit of culture and recreation. A green enclave in the heart of the city, the island is the location of four museums, including the Modern Art Gallery, the European Money Centre, Archaeological Collections and the Leon Wyczółkowski House. The nearby marina offers kayaking, pedalos, and even enormous swans in which people can use to see Bydgoszcz from a different perspective.
For those more into sport and nature, Bydgoszcz has Myślęcinek. The largest city park in Poland, it's located five kilometres from the city centre. Covering 830 hectares, it has a large forest area, a zoo, a botanical garden, different recreational areas for a variety of sports, as well as an amusement park in the style of Jurassic Park, complete with real-life seized model dinosaurs.
Gothic star: Toruń is called the "Pearl of the North".Kalbar/TFN
The charming city of Toruń, with its cobbled streets and medieval old own, which has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1997, is called the Pearl of the North for a reason. The hometown of astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus, poet Zbigniew Herbert, and outstanding gingerbread, it's a perfect spot for a city break or a longer relaxing stay.
The origins of the town date back to the 13th century. Established by the Teutonic Order, it still has the red brick fortifications as testament to their rule. These include the castle ruins and the walls surrounding the Old and New town, Toruń's two historic districts.
The town was mostly left untouched during World War II, which led to the preservation of the medieval urban plan – narrow streets, central squares that were once markets, and the aforementioned fortifications, gates, and defensive towers.
Toruń viewed from the other side of the Vistula.Kalbar/TFN
As such, today it provides a perfect representation of how life in the Middle Ages once looked, when the city was dependent on its proximity to the River Vistula, and the trade that took goods north and south. Toruń, back then known as Thorn, joined the trading Hanseatic League in 1280 – a move which contributed to its wealth and development.
An example of Gothic architecture, Toruń's Old Town Hall, is a 14th-century building towering over the Old Town Square, and houses the regional museum. Reconstructed and enlarged several times, it is living proof of the prosperity that came Toruń's way owing to flourishing river trade, the storing of salt and salted goods, and renowned annual international fairs.
Famous son: Nicolaus Copernicus.Kalbar/TFN
It is impossible to visit Toruń without coming across the numerous statues of Nicolaus Copernicus that dot the city. The astronomer who formulated the Sun-centric model of the planetary system lived on what is now Mikołaja Kopernika Street. The gothic house which belonged to his family is still there and is open to visitors.
Toruń, which transforms into a student town from October to June, also has its main university named after its most famous son.
Gingerbread has been made in the city for centuries.Kalbar/TFN
Another ubiquitous aspect of the town is gingerbread. A source of wealth for many merchant families, gingerbread dough was treated as more precious than gold, and was even passed from family to family as dowries.
The Gingerbread Museum on Rabiańska Street is the place to discover the long history of the spicy-smelling biscuits, and how they are made. The museum also gives visitors the chance to make their own out of a dough made from the same recipe that has been used for centuries.
Toruń's Old Town has been on the UNESCO World Heritage list since 1997.Kalbar/TFN
For those looking for a break from the medieval atmosphere of the Old Town, Toruń offers a respite on the banks of the Vistula – a perfect place for a meal on a floating restaurant, a bike ride, or some bustling nightlife.
With even 1.5 million visitors per year, Toruń, just like Bydgoszcz, is a must-see for any visitor wanting to delve deeper into Polish history and culture.

Keeping your receipts in a shoe box and handing it over to the accountant once a year is financial madness. Don't be surprised if you are out of business after your first year with that attitude to financial management.
Regardless of what business you are in, you need to keep a close watch on money coming in and going out; and know what your bank balance is on any day. The least you should do is to buy a small business accounting package. This will enable you to keep track of revenue coming in and expenses paid out on a monthly basis.
There are plenty of available accounting software packages out there that will do the job. Just make sure that the one you select is set up for an Australian business. Our GST, BAS and tax system is like no other.
So once you have your accounting software installed and working, you can now monitor the performance of your business on a monthly basis. If you input your revenues and expenses daily then you can monitor your business on a 'month-to-date' basis. This is only the first step on your financial management journey.
You need a benchmark to compare against each month. It is great knowing how your business is going but to be able to see a comparison against 'forecast performance' would be even better. The better quality packages allow you to set up a budget and to design 'budget v actuals' reports.
Now you need to prepare a budget. A budget is really the financial translation of all your plans and strategies. Your expense budget should be reasonably straight forward because most expenses are known in advance.
The trap to be careful of is that expenses are not the same each month. Some bills have to be paid weekly, others monthly and some annually. Take into account the ups and downs of your forecast expenses. That's what helps create a realistic cash flow forecast.
I will continue in the next post of business coaching Brisbane with the tough job of forecasting revenue.
