The firm was founded, as Hyman & Phelps, on St. Patrick's Day in 1980. There were three founders: Paul Hyman, Jim Phelps, and Bob Dormer. They left a New York-based firm to create their own practice. The goal of the new firm was to provide service to clients regulated primarily by the Food and Drug Administration, the agency with which the three founders had extensive experience. When Steve McNamara joined the practice in 1984, the firm became known as Hyman, Phelps & McNamara. Later that year, the firm incorporated, and has since been known as Hyman, Phelps & McNamara, P.C.

I enjoy writing because I am able to give the common everyday person an opportunity to have a voice. I also like to use my camera to tell stories through pictures. My interest is in Iowa travel and in capturing the beauty of this state. Iowa's Tradition: An ABC Photo Album of the Iowa State Fair was born after I met my wife and Iowa author, Debbie Tindle Parker, at the 2003 Iowa State Fair. Her family has camped at the fair for more than 30 years. Her love with the fair mixed with my desire to capture a slice of Iowa resulted in the production of our first book on one of Iowa's deep-rooted traditions.

Steven A. Bush - May 8, 2022
The Gracious Gift of Godly Mothers
The renowned preacher John Wesley once said: "I learned more about Christianity from my mother than from all the theologians in England." John's brother Charles undoubtedly concurred. In 2 Timothy 1:5, the Apostle Paul exhorts his son in the faith: "I am reminded of your sincere faith, a faith that dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and now, I am sure, dwells in you as well." (ESV) Paul recognized the Godly influence of these two beautiful souls as they reared Timothy to become the man of God he was destined to become. Whether it be Moses' mother, Jochebed, Samuel's mother, Hannah, or Mary the mother of our Lord Jesus, the Scriptures give us many examples of mothers who revered God, loved their children beyond measure, and taught their sons and daughters to replicate their devotion. One famous preacher from the 1800s who revered his own mom was Charles Spurgeon. Spurgeon said this about all Godly mothers: "You are as much serving God in looking after your own children, and training them up in God's fear, and minding the house, and making your household a church for God, as you would be if you had been called to lead an army to battle for the Lord of hosts." Amen to that! The truth is obvious: Godly Mothers are a gracious gift from God!

The warm weather went to my head and I think I've gone to early on the seed planting.
And this is the same tray 24 hours later!!
They are like flipping triffids!!! The bean roots have already escaped the bottom of the modules. There is going to have to be some pretty swift transplanting in the next couple of days into larger pots. At least I know the seeds are healthy but whether these will be too spindly to survive I don't know. Fingers crossed for beginners luck, otherwise I'll have to do what Flighty said in the comments and sow into the ground in May.
Last Thursday was such a lovely day that I just could not resist any longer. I sowed some seeds! Over the past year I have collected rather a lot of seeds from freebies on magazines and I have bought a few as well. Also Flighty from Flighty's Plot very kindly sent me some borlotti beans, nasturtiums and marigolds.
I wanted to grow several different tomatoes this year so I have sewn 4 varieties – Gardener's Delight, Tumbling Tom Yellow, San Marzano 3, and Moneymaker. I do have some others which I'll see if I have room for later.
For the beans I sowed White Lady (runner), Montano (dwarf French), Cobra (climbing French), and Lingua di Fuoca (borlotti from Flighty).
I sowed them all in a module tray, which may have been a little small for the beans so I might have to transplant quite soon. I sowed 2 of each tomato seed per module and one bean. 5 modules per variety.
As you can see, in only 5 days most of them have germinated! They are covered with a lid and left on my kitchen table for the light from the patio doors.
And just for you, Flighty, this is one of your Borlotti beans!!
I also threw a few chives and basil into a couple of pots, the basil is showing but no chives as yet.
AND……..huge news……….something went into my bird box this morning, woohoo!!!

Q: meaning of 'I heard her do that one day' Is the sentence

*

*I heard her do that one day.

equivalent in meaning to the sentence

*I heard that she did that one day.

?
The first sentence sounds somewhat weird to me.

A: No, they're not equivalent, and I agree that the first sentence sounds a little odd.
I would interpret the first sentence as "on one day in the past, I heard her do that", for example, if your former neighbour briefly tried playing the drums.
The second sentence is a bit better, and appears to mean that a third party told you that she did something. However, it's a bit ambiguous as to whether the "one day" refers to when she did it, or when you heard it.
I think you can probably say:

I heard she did that

or

I heard she used to do that

without any loss of meaning, unless there's some specific context I'm missing.

Whole Health Now - Samuel Hahnemann Biography
Alternative Title: Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann
Samuel Hahnemann, in full Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann, (born April 10, 1755, Meissen, Saxony [now in Germany]—died July 2, 1843, Paris, France), German physician, founder of the system of therapeutics known as homeopathy.
Learn about the history of homeopathy and its effectiveness
Does homeopathy work?
© American Chemical Society (A Britannica Publishing Partner) See all videos for this article
Hahnemann studied medicine at Leipzig and Vienna, taking the degree of M.D. at Erlangen in 1779. After practicing in various places, he settled in Dresden in 1784 and then moved to Leipzig in 1789. In the following year, while translating William Cullen's Lectures on the Materia medica into German, he was struck by the fact that the symptoms produced by quinine on the healthy body were similar to those of the disordered states that quinine was used to cure. This observation led him to assert the theory that "likes are cured by likes," similia similibus curantur; i.e., diseases are cured (or should be treated) by those drugs that produce in healthy persons symptoms similar to the diseases. He promulgated his principle in a paper published in 1796; and, four years later, convinced that drugs in small doses effectively exerted their curative powers, he advanced his doctrine of their "potentization of dynamization." His chief work, Organon der rationellen Heilkunst (1810; "Organon of Rational Medicine"), contains an exposition of his system, which he called Homöopathie, or homeopathy. His Reine Arzneimittellehre, 6 vol. (1811; "Pure Pharmacology"), detailed the symptoms produced by "proving" a large number of drugs—i.e., by systematically administering them to healthy subjects.
In 1821 the hostility of apothecaries forced him to leave Leipzig, and at the invitation of the grand duke of Anhalt-Köthen he went to live at Köthen. Fourteen years later he moved to Paris, where he practiced medicine with great popularity until his death.

"The Odd Couple" in Two Genders
November 8, 2017 November 8, 2017 - by University Journal Staff
Cedar High School is set to perform not one, but two versions of "The Odd Couple." The original play by Neil Simon featured two recently divorced men trying to figure out the world without their wives. The show premiered on Broadway in 1965 and was followed by a movie and television series.
The second version of "The Odd Couple" was revised by Neil Simon to fit two female characters and the scene was updated to the 1980s as the play premiered on Broadway in 1985. This version was successful on Broadway; however, it is lesser known and has never aired on TV.
Zac Trotter, the drama teacher at CHS and director of the plays, said he decided to do both versions in order to create more opportunities for students.
"If we had done a bigger show, there might have been more characters, but there would have been less lines for them," Trotter said. "This way, a lot of people have a lot of lines, and it's also fun to look at the differences of the way genders handle things and how life is in different time periods."
As well as doing both plays, some characters have been reinvented. Trotter says he encourages all students to try out for any role, regardless of gender or other qualifications and the best actor will get the role.
"The Odd Couple" female version runs Nov. 8, 10 and 11 at 7 p.m. and the male version runs Nov. 9 and 13 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 11 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $7 and the CHS auditorium is located straight north from the main entrance. CHS is located at 703 W. 600 South.

Springfield, Tennessee is a historic community located in Robertson County. It is the County Seat and became a city in 1796. The first courthouse was built in 1799.

Suzy Whaley becomes the first female president of the PGA of America
November 10, 2018 by cbsnews Leave a Comment
The PGA of America started a new chapter Friday night when it swore in the first female president in the organization's 102-year history. Suzy Whaley now leads one of the world's largest working sports organizations, and she plans to change it for the better. As a young girl growing up in Syracuse, New York, Whaley craved sunshine, skiing and outdoor sports. But she found her true passion on the driving range. The Title IX era was just beginning, so Whaley competed on a boy's high school golf team since there wasn't one for the girls. Still, gender wasn't an issue until Whaley tried entering a tournament and found it was only for boys, reports "CBS This Morning: Saturday" co-host Dana Jacobson. "I didn't think it was fair and I remember thinking, 'Well I don't understand, I just want to play golf. I want to have fun playing golf just like they do.' But we didn't dwell on that in my house," Whaley said. "And my parents ended up moving clubs where I was allowed to play, right? So there was just always this support that if you want to do it, go do it the best you can. … And that's really the way my sister and I both grew up. We weren't afraid to fail." With that support behind her, Whaley played collegiate golf. She then passed on law school to go to PGA tour school. She competed in some LPGA Tour events where she met her husband, Bill,… [Read full story]

New remote restraint device helps fight crime, sparks interest locally
BolaWrap is a device designed to wrap up a subject with a Kevlar cord when it's fired.
Author: Tyler Paley

Updated: 5:53 PM EDT September 10, 2019
WALBRIDGE, Ohio — There's a new tool for fighting crime on Ohio's streets and beyond.
It's called Bola-Wrap: a firearm-like product meant to literally tie up a criminal with a Kevlar cord when it's fired.
"Anybody who's been in law enforcement realizes what we do sometimes doesn't look, in the eyes of people, acceptable," BolaWrap chief strategy officer and former Miami Beach Police Chief Don De Lucca said. "So, this is a tool you can use earlier in a situation to get somebody to comply."
BolaWrap is known as a remote restraint device. It's not meant to be lethal, nor is it meant to hurt a subject. Its goal is to stop someone in their tracks.
"If you can put somebody into custody or restrain them without hurting them, that's a win-win for law enforcement and the community we serve," De Lucca said.
"It's a supplement," said Mark King, chair of Criminal Justice and Emergency Services at Owens Community College, where a training seminar for local law enforcement was held Tuesday. "It's another tool in our toolbox we can use. But we use it at a lower level of force. So before things escalate, we can sneer and capture a subject so we're not having to use a Taser and have them fall, or go hands-on."
The $925 devices are being considered by Toledo police, a spokesman for the department said, but none have yet been purchased.

Several other departments in the region sent representatives to the seminar looking for more information and a demonstration.
Northwood Police Officer Josh Hannum, who experienced being "wrapped," was one of them.
"It definitely helps," he said. "If you know somebody who might run or before you try and tackle somebody, it might be easier to wrap them up and make sure that they know they're not gonna go anywhere."
BolaWrap representatives said roughly 70 departments around the United States currently use the product.

Public rights over private property
With the intensification of our land use, there is a benefit in having public rights established over private property for street widening, passage, recreation, or for community facilities such as stations, parking, transport interchanges, etc. However, we should discuss how far we should go.
1. There is not enough street widening and more needs to be done. The architects and planners have for many decades called for setbacks when buildings are redeveloped to provide circulation space for the increase in people and traffic.
2. There are world class examples of public passages – especially in 'old' Central where the elevated network provides a high quality additional pedestrian network – and there are many calls to extend this network further. However, there are an increasing number of bad examples in the new areas of West Kowloon, Tai Kok Tsui, Ma On Shan, Hung Hom, Wanchai North and the future Central Harbourfront, where the public is made entirely dependent on elevated walkways and podium decks in private property and the public street is turned into barren dead zones. Elevated networks should be seen as additional capacity or as strategic links but never to the detriment of the outdoor, public, street level environment.
3. The lack of public open space in urban areas is made worse by counting open space in private developments to meet the requirement of 2 sq.m. per person. In North Point today, 50,600sq.m. - half of the existing 106,063sq.m. local open space - is now within private property and are either inaccessible or badly maintained. Many private open spaces do NOT meet the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines specifically those on elevated levels and incorporated in the development. The guidelines state in Chapter 4 that the use of open space is for active and passive recreation, for the enjoyment of the general public, that open space should be visible from public roads, accessible for all segments of the population and not isolated. The entrance should be easily identifiable. It also says that the space should not be the remainder of other land uses.
4. The cumulative effect of bonus, unaccountable and free GFA 'paid' as incentives in return for public rights and facilities is resulting in massive bulk and height of buildings well above and beyond what was intended under planning.
5. The public gains are limited as public rights over private property are often limited to pass and re-pass subject to opening hours and with few rights for recreation, sitting, congregating, handing out leaflets, playing music, etc. The location of the space and passage in developments is such that access is limited, no seating is available or possible, and there are genuine security concerns.
6. The system of establishing public rights over private property has failed. Decisions on 'how suitable is the space', 'what public rights can be agreed', 'what incentives are given in return', and 'how is the space classified' are made behind closed doors. The losers are the public users who 'paid' dearly with development rights or other forms of compensation. Often it is the developer who enjoys the benefit from the additional saleable area or the betterment of its development. When properties are sold the ongoing maintenance cost and public nuisance is left with the unhappy new owners.
Examples of public rights over private property
7. How can the Times Square Piazza have been classified as 'public open space' when it really is circulation space and rights are limited to ensure safe passage? The piazza should have been required under building regulations and not been paid for with additional floor area.
8. The corner of Central Tower (Marks and Spencer) is dedicated for street widening. By failing to resume this land, the government has failed to ensure that public rights on that 'private' pavement are identical to those on the public pavement immediately next to it. These rights are set out in the law with respect to the public highway (public road or street): a public place which the public may enjoy for any reasonable purpose, provided the activity in question does not amount to a public or private nuisance and does not obstruct the highway by unreasonably impeding the primary right of the public to pass and re-pass: within these qualifications there is a public right of peaceful assembly on the highway. (DPP v. Jones [1999] 2 AC at 257.)
9. The podium of Central Station (IFC2) and the Kowloon Station (above Elements) are unsuitable as public open space given the security concerns of the owners, the access through the shopping malls, and cost of the conveniences available. Rooftops and podiums are by nature private public spaces. Now that these are declared as public open spaces, commercial al fresco dining under the Outdoor Seating Accommodation licensing system is not applicable. None of these problems would have occurred had these been declared private open spaces, with access for the public by leave and license of the owner. Moreover, no additional development rights or a reduction in land premiums would have been required.
10. The 'Portofino' residential low rise complex is in the middle of a nature conservation area in Clearwater Bay. A completely unnecessary public open space is included on private property here and one can only guess how the developer benefited. Neither the new owners nor the public has gained any benefits.
11. The public open space on the podium of Metro Harbour View has no benefit for the surrounding community and the location creates security and nuisance concerns for the residents. The new strata owners should be given an option to convert the land lease and buy back the obligation to provide public access at a nominal sum.
12. Both Portofino and Metro Harbour View demonstrate the need for a better mechanism and more transparency of any commitments to the public when flats in these properties are sold.
13. Island Place and Tanner Garden in North Point are examples of developments with public spaces at both street level and podium level. The street level spaces are well designed and easily accessible. Although it is unclear what the public rights are, the development or premium incentives are worth it and these are properly classified as public open space and beat any LCSD park hands down. However, the podium gardens should have been classified as private open spaces and, as with club houses, it is unclear the developer should have been awarded incentives for these.
14. The residual space around the drop off and road to the car park of Belcher's are counted as 4,000 sq. m. of public open space, in complete disregard of the Hong Kong Planning Standards and Guidelines. The set back and road should have been required under building regulations for a development of this size and nature, and no incentive should have to be provided to achieve this.
The phenomenon of private rights over public property
15. An example of private rights over public land is the Public Open Space on Government land immediately to the west of the Bank of China on Garden Road. This is designed, constructed, managed and maintained by the Bank of China. There are no seats, there is no access. For a small cost savings on the side of the Government, the public has lost all rights over public land.
The phenomenon of 'no' rights over public property
16. The Director of Administration has advised that the public open space on Tamar will be open to the public 'subject to security and operational requirements'. If so, then these should be classified as private gardens with public access by leave and license of the Government.
Conclusions regarding public rights over private property
a. Priority should be given to have public open space on Government land at street level;
b. Podium and elevated levels are unsuitable for public open space, although negotiation of public rights of access may be desirable for certain places (viewing platforms);
c. More street widening and set-backs are required, with the Government resuming land for street widening, or otherwise guaranteeing the same rights as for the street;
d. Extending the network of elevated passages is required as ADDITIONAL capacity and should never be done to the detriment of an active street level environment designed for the pleasure and use of pedestrians. Any and all planning for new areas and developments need to reviewed urgently to reverse this trend;
e. Agreements regarding public rights over private property can no longer be a private matter between Government and land owner/developer. An open and transparent system is required, including obtaining District Council feed-back and seeking Town Planning Board approval;
f. A review is required of all existing agreements taking into account the local circumstances, and where necessary the public rights and responsibility for maintenance should be re-negotiated and space reclassified.
g. The Government must lead by example for its own developments.

Barack Obama Issues Statement About Passing Of Elijah Cummings
Source: Carrie Devorah / WENN / WENN
Maryland Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, chairman of one of the U.S. House committees leading an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump, died Thursday from complication from longstanding health problems. Cummings was 68 years-old. He died died at Gilchrist Hospice Care at approximately 2:45 A.M., a spokeswoman said.
Barack Obama issued a statement earlier today.
"Michelle and I are heartbroken over the passing of our friend, Elijah Cummings. As Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, he showed us all not only the importance of checks and balances within our democracy, but also the necessity of good people stewarding it. Steely yet compassionate, principled yet open to new perspectives, Chairman Cummings remained steadfast in his pursuit of truth, justice, and reconciliation. It's a tribute to his native Baltimore that one of its own brought such character, tact, and resolve into the halls of power every day. And true to the giants of progress he followed into public service, Chairman Cummings stood tallest and most resolute when our country needed him the most. May his example inspire more Americans to pick up the baton and carry it forward in a manner worthy of his service. Our deepest sympathies and abiding love go to his wife, Maya, his three children, and all those whose lives he touched."
President Trump also addressed the passing of Cummings via Twitter.
My warmest condolences to the family and many friends of Congressman Elijah Cummings. I got to see first hand the strength, passion and wisdom of this highly respected political leader. His work and voice on so many fronts will be very hard, if not impossible, to replace!
'I only have a minute,
60 seconds in it,
forced upon me,
I did not choose it,
but I know that I must use it,
give account if I abuse it,
suffer if I lose it.
Only a tiny little minute,
but eternity is in it.'

Everywhere you go you can easily find some gold, but do you ever wonder where the gold comes from? Even though we see gold in jewelry shops wherever we go, gold is actually not as prevalent as it seems. Thomson Reuters GFMS, experts in surveying precious metals, has estimated that the total amount of gold in the world is equal to 171,300 tonnes. According to other research, the total amount of gold we have mined throughout the course of human history would only fill a little over 3 Olympic size swimming pools.
Scientists actually point to space when explaining why Earth has gold hidden in the ground. According to research conducted at the University of Bristol, Earth had been hit repeatedly by millions of meteorites about 200 million years or so ago, while the Earth was still forming. This heavy bombardment brought along with it heavy elements like silver and gold that are not formed on the planet. Over the course of Earth's history, the gold had been hidden away under the ground and in the oceans. Since Earth does not produce gold naturally, there is a finite amount of gold that we'll be able to mine.
How do we find gold?
To figure out how gold is found, we have to look at another study of science: geology. Geologists who specialize in finding gold can research the areas where gold is expected and look for tell-tale signs that gold is probably present. They may look at the type of rocks that are found in the area or whether or not a lot of quartz is present. There are many signs that geologists look for that indicate gold may be available.
When thinking about gold mining, an image of the Gold Rush and may come to mind with people holding pans by the stream. This type of gold mining is still used today, especially by amateur treasure hunters. The modern way of mining gold is done on a large scale, by taking large amounts of ore and carefully extracting the gold particles that lie within the rock. Gold.org reported that for every 10 tonnes of ore, 31.1 grams of gold would be extracted.
While it may be costly, gold will always be a treasured commodity in our society. It's rarity adds to the price of gold in our jewelry and even our electronics and medicine.

ZICO Coconut Water offers new entry points for consumers
Coconut water projected to be $1.5B industry by 2020

The liquid refreshment beverage market has seen the emergence of many categories in the past decade or so. Among those emerging categories, coconut water has shown that it has the ability to reach both niche and mainstream consumers through its health positioning as well as exploration of new flavors and product formulations.
"The coconut water category has continued to climb over the years," says Tom Larsen, president and general manager at ZICO, El Segundo, Calif. "While initial explosive category growth has naturally slowed in line with the total beverage category, we've seen household penetration hit 13.5 percent, plus coconut water is no longer isolated to just the natural channel. We've even seen coconut water showing up on menu options resulting in a threefold increase in foodservice menu penetration. We're really excited to see coconut water evolving as both a stand-alone product and ingredient base, and we have high expectations for the future."
As one of the category leaders within the coconut water market, ZICO has seen the evolution of the market and its consumer base. Through this evolution, the brand remains optimistic about its market future.
"The coconut water category is projected to be a $1.5 billion industry by 2020," says Meghann Seidner, ZICO's vice president of marketing. "We're in a sweet spot this year with consumer interests and functional trends. We're seeing coconut water go from a beverage offering beloved by the early adopters to becoming a mainstream beverage offering."
Flavor options also have been vital to the growth of ZICO's ambient line. This year, it released ZICO Jalapeño Mango Flavored Coconut Water. (Image courtesy of ZICO)
Aiding the coconut water market's ability to reach these projections, ZICO has continued the revolutionary spirit that helped springboard the brand to where it is today.
"Industry trends show that the coconut water category will see continued evolution and growth in entirely new categories, with the increase of coconut water as an ingredient and in functional and plant-based beverages, like our ZICO COCO-LIXIRS line," Larsen says. "As seen from our 2018 innovation, we're committed to lead the category by finding new ways to incorporate added functionality and benefits with coconut water always as the hero."
Seidner also highlights the early innovations from 2018 as an opportunity for ZICO to reach a more diverse consumer base.
"For 2018, it excites us to think of ZICO's growth through delicious new flavors and pushing the industry on ingredients like organics," she says. "Given new consumers are 30 percent more likely to enter the category through flavors, we see a tremendous opportunity to introduce more consumers to our brand and the inherent benefits of coconut water with fun new flavors such as Jalapeño Mango.
"We know that more and more consumers are reaching for coconut water when they want to take better care of themselves," she continues. "We look forward to leveraging our equity in coconut water to embrace the opportunity and the runway the category is providing to roll-out our ZICO COCO-LIXIRS and ZICO Chilled Organic lines."
Empowering partnership
Founded in 2004 by Mark Rampolla, ZICO's distribution and reach took a new turn when it received an investment from the Venturing and Emerging Brands (VEB) unit of The Coca-Cola Co., Atlanta. In 2013, ZICO went from being an investment of The Coca-Cola Co. to a wholly owned subsidiary.
During the past five years, ZICO has maintained the culture that led to its founding 14 years ago while still realizing the benefits of having the backing of the largest non-alcohol beverage manufacturer.
"ZICO has always believed in the power of holistic wellness, as evidenced from our beginnings in the yoga community in New York and L.A.," Larsen says. "When ZICO and VEB first started working together during the brand's early growth state in 2009, the partnership allowed us to scale the brand even further and bring this vision to life for more consumers. The VEB incubation unit has provided us the resources and tools we needed to get more sophisticated in our planning, while retaining the magic of the ZICO culture in our Los Angeles office.
"We have plenty of fun in the office, find ways of bringing yoga and other forms of mindfulness into our day-to-day, and have the full support of the VEB system," he continues. "We're empowered to be dexterous and agile in our execution, and commit to experimenting across the category space."
Seidner explains that because of VEB's access to market insights and distribution networks, investment brands like ZICO are able to develop connections to today's market and the future. "We've been able to leverage our partners and find ways to expand across categories to meet beverage consumers' ever-evolving needs by connecting them to a portfolio of future-forward choices," she says.
For brands in the scaling stages, such as ZICO, VEB has been able to apply real-time market lessons that were learned from its earlier investment brands.
"The beauty of the VEB model is that it allows us to learn from multiple brands within the system," Larsen explains. "The lessons learned from our VEB partners are always helping us to grow and evolve in smarter and faster ways. A great example of this is the work done on the ZICO COCO-LIXIRS line. It was a result of the combined efforts of a sister VEB brand, where we were able to tap into their proprietary technology and demonstrate how we were able to work cross-functionally as partners within the VEB organization."
ZICO's success also can be pinpointed to market penetration as it has achieved global status, with the bulk of its business in North America, Larsen says.
Another benchmark related to ZICO's performance since fully joining the VEB unit was its accomplishments from last year.
"2017 was an exciting year for ZICO," Seidner says. "Following the success of our What's Inside is Everything campaign, which resonated with consumers more strongly than any brand campaign to date, we launched several massive experiential events that encouraged consumers to look within themselves and discover what they're made of. Of course, consumers enjoyed sampling what we're made of too.
"Additionally, it was also the first full year of our PET bottle restage," she continues. "We moved to 100 percent not-from-concentrate coconut water with no sugar added in a beautiful, proprietary PET bottle. This on-the-go bottle and the marketing behind it was able to drive our business volume to grow more than 30 percent in cold availability channels in 2017."
Adventurous pioneer
Although ZICO has long been a headmost brand for the coconut water market in the United States, the brand leader is not resting on it brand recognition to further its place in the beverage market. Instead, it is taking its forward-thinking approach to bring the brand and the coconut water category into the next wave of innovation.

"At ZICO, we are committed to the promise we made to consumers 14 years ago — when we introduced the brand and the inherent benefits of coconut water," Seidner says. "As one of the pioneering brands in the category space, we're proud of the fact that our hero product — ZICO Natural — is 100 percent not-from-concentrate coconut water, with no sugar added. Our commitment to simple, high-quality, and purposeful ingredients is at the core of the ZICO brand and always will be."
The brand showcased this commitment a few years ago with the development of its Chilled line. "The chilled space is one of the primary drivers of growth within the category, with coconut water being used as a 'hero' ingredient," Larsen says. "We were able to leverage the opportunity and give consumers a beverage option that offered the best of both worlds — all the hydration benefits of coconut water and the taste of refreshing juice."
The success of this innovation can be recognized by ZICO's efforts to expand the Chilled lineup with the release of Pineapple Mango Chilled Organic Coconut Water and Natural Chilled Organic Coconut Water.
"At ZICO, it's important that we're always evolving to better meet consumer needs, and this is exactly what we did with ZICO Chilled," Larsen explains. "The chilled lineup is non-GMO, 100 percent organic, and offered in a convenient PET bottle. The flavored option, ZICO Pineapple Mango Chilled Coconut Water, has just three ingredients: 100 percent organic not-from-concentrate coconut water, organic pineapple juice and organic mango puree."
Recognizing that it is too early to pinpoint where the Chilled lineup will land in regards to ZICO's SKU performance, Larsen says its presence is necessary for the brand's advancements.
"While it's too early to tell just yet, since it just recently hit shelves, we're looking forward to seeing the response, since chilled is what's really driving recruitment to the category," he says.
ZICO also furthered its flavor commitments to its ambient line with the release of ZICO Jalapeño Mango Flavored Coconut Water. "Bringing exciting new flavor options to the category is essential for recruitment, and Jalapeño Mango is a particularly appealing flavor combo, as mango flavored juices grew by 9 percent in 2016, and spicy flavors are increasingly in-demand," Seidner says. "ZICO is the first brand to introduce a spicy and sweet flavor fusion to the coconut water category with Jalapeño Mango Flavored Coconut Water."
However, ZICO's innovations are not reserved to only the coconut water category. Featuring a blend of coconut water with organic, cold-pressed juice, ZICO COCO-LIXIRS is the brand's first major foray into the hybrid beverage market.

"We know that people reach to both coconut water and cold-pressed juices to feel their best, so we believe this new innovation offers the best of both worlds," Larsen says. "We're leveraging the equity in the coconut water category that we talked about, and capitalizing on the growth the cold-pressed juice category has seen."
Available in three varieties — unbe-leaf-able, turn up the beet, and for lemon's sake — ZICO COCO-LIXIRS are designed to meet additional consumer need states, Seidner explains. "Ours will be the only offering out there that is coconut water based, under 100 calories, organic, cold-pressed juice, not from concentrate, and contains adaptogenic ingredients like ginger and turmeric," she says.
Designed with health and wellness, and approachability in mind, ZICO COCO-LIXIRS' founding can be traced to the consumption habits of ZICO team members.
"While we're committed to being a champion for the consumer, we're consumers ourselves," Seidner says. "We had a feeling a greens variant was going to be a staple, given that here at the ZICO office, there's a pretty heavy juice habit amongst a lot of the team. It was a great team effort playing with the cold-pressed juice options in development.
"We knew we really were onto something special when we realized how a base of coconut water versus other juice options gave a smooth taste experience, while keeping the products naturally low in sugar," she continues. "Ultimately, we're excited where we landed with ZICO COCO-LIXIRS; they're delicious, functional and meet the growing needs of what the consumer wants, plus the names are such an added bonus. They exemplify the fun-loving spirit of ZICO as a brand, and introduce people to our better-for-you options with that edge of approachability and wit."
Retailers within the natural channel and select customers saw the roll out of ZICO COCO-LIXIRS this spring, while a national expansion is slated to take place this fall, Seidner adds.
Although ZICO has showcased its ability to be a forward-thinking innovator when it comes to flavor and new product trends, the brand also applied that dedication to its packaging. To meet the need of consumers across various consumption occasions, ZICO packages its coconut water in plastic bottles as well as in cartons.
"We are the first brand to offer coconut water in both a bottle and Tetra Pak option," Larsen says. "We work with the [Forest Stewardship Council] FSC Certification to ensure all of our Tetra Pak comes from responsibly managed forests. The motivation behind our packaging evolution was to accommodate the consumer need for ease and functionality and reinforce ZICO as a great on-the-go offering."
Although the company does not have any new products or packaging news to share at this time, Seidner and Larsen both state that innovations are always in the works for the brand, so distributors and consumers should "stay tuned."
Reaching potential
Being a leader within the coconut water category, ZICO recognizes that expanding consumer reach for the brand also requires robust marketing programs and executions.
"We have a team of incredibly nimble and creative people in the ZICO marketing organization," Seidner explains. "By being part of the Coca-Cola family, we've been able to execute multiple marketing programs in conjunction with the Olympic Games, which continues to be a strong pillar program for us.
"We previously referred to the success of our What's Inside is Everything campaign, to help reinforce the duality of our message that it's what's inside that counts," she continues. "In this campaign, we not only got our brand belief out via telling Jessica Alba's compelling personal story, but we also were able to tell the stories of a few Olympic athletes to further hit home this powerful message. The team is about to roll out our most exciting marketing campaign to date, where we support consumers in their journey to combat the depleting demands of modern life by showing them how easy and accessible holistic wellness can be. This new campaign will launch this summer so please stay tuned to see what's next."
Yet, like many national brands, ZICO must also walk the line when it comes to national programs and regional ones.
"While we activate some programs at national level to ensure scale and program efficiency, we firmly believe that one size does not fit all, hence regional and customer customization are a staple for our brand," Seidner says. "In addition to our national programs, we work on a regional level and with top customers directly to ensure a targeted connection with shoppers and we leverage our best in class field marketing team to help ZICO to reach consumers regionally in a personal and engaging way."

How Much RAM Do I Need to Stream?
If you're looking to start streaming you want to make sure your PC is capable of running multiple programs at the same time. While it is important to invest in a good CPU and GPU for your custom built gaming PC, RAM plays an important role when it comes to streaming and playing games. It is the component that allows your computer to perform simple tasks like loading programs and the more you have, the quicker it can switch from one task to another. How much RAM you need to stream depends on whether or not you are gaming and what games you want to play. Certain games require less RAM than others but streaming software requires just as much memory to run smoothly. The more there is, the better equipped your PC is to handle multiple tasks.
If you're not planning on streaming, check out our article on how much RAM you need for your gaming PC.
Minimum RAM Requirements
Everyone has different needs so it's important to check the requirements for the games or content you want to stream. If you purchase a new PC and plan to stream from it, it is better to invest in more RAM to ensure higher quality. Although it is possible to stream with only 4GB, the video quality would be poor and you run the risk of damaging your PC. The minimum requirement for streaming games on platforms such as Twitch and YouTube is 8GB of RAM but we recommend 16GB as a long-term investment. Streaming involves multiple tasks running in the background and it's best to
Is 4GB of RAM Enough for Streaming?
4GB of RAM is just barely enough to stream and barely enough for some gaming, but not both. Streaming software such as OBS recommend at least 4GB and leaves no room for multitasking.
Some games may have less system requirements but this limits your selection of titles because most modern games require more memory just to run. Due to typical system requirements, Apex recommends that you avoid streaming while gaming with 4GB of RAM as it puts stress on your hardware. Streaming with 4GB of RAM is possible but it limits which games you can play.
It is possible to stream with 8GB of RAM but it depends on the type of content you want to broadcast. Most modern games such as Fortnite, League of Legends, and PUBG, recommend at least 8GB of RAM to run the game. This leaves little room for streaming and other tasks in the background.
Even though 8GB of RAM is enough to stream, we recommend you lower the quality of graphics in games that require more than 4GB of RAM to run. Otherwise, you may experience lags, low FPS, and overall poor streaming quality.
Is 16GB of RAM Enough for Streaming?
Streaming requires about as much RAM as it takes to run a game so generally you want to use one with double the amount of RAM required for the game. The majority of modern games recommend at least 8GB, so 16GB of RAM is the ideal amount for gaming and streaming setups. It is enough to play and stream most games at 720p and 1080p without sacrificing video and sound quality. Paired with a good CPU and GPU, you may even be able to stream in 4K with the correct settings.
How Much RAM Do I Need to Watch a Stream?
Watching streams does not require as much memory as broadcasting but you need at least 4GB of RAM to watch at 720p or 1080p with no issues. This amount lets you watch movies on platforms like Netflix, as well as live streams on websites like Twitch and YouTube. If you want to watch a live stream while gaming then you may need more RAM, as most games recommend at least 8GB. A good internet connection is more important when it comes to watching a stream.
How Much RAM Do I Need to Stream Games to My PC?
If you want to install a game but worry that your computer doesn't have enough RAM to run it, you may be able to stream it instead. Streaming games through services like Google Stadia or your Xbox console to your PC, are ways of playing video games without installing them on your computer. You need a stable internet connection when using these services but they don't require as much RAM to run. According to Microsoft, you need at least 4GB of RAM to stream and play games from the Xbox to your PC. Google Stadia runs on the same amount, but we recommend you have at least 8GB of RAM. The benefit in streaming games is that they do not take up space on your computer and do not require as much RAM as an installed game.
How Much RAM is Overkill for Streaming?
Most people agree that when it comes to memory, the more the better. More RAM provides a better quality stream but 16GB is just the right amount for most streamers. 32GB of RAM is overkill unless you have a need for it. The only reasons you may need more memory is if you are going to stream in 4K or plan on modding. There are a lot of video games out there that support modding, which allows players to change or add things in the base game. Games with modding include Skyrim, GTA V, and Fallout New Vegas but these titles run on 16GB if you do not plan on modifying them. If you have the budget, selecting 32GB of RAM can be a way of future-proofing your PC if new games require more memory but it is not necessary for now.

Brewery News, Brewery Release, Press Release, WashingtonNorthwest Beer Guide November 01, 2018 Seattle, Washington, Reuben's Brews, Reuben's Holiday GoseComment
Reuben's Brews announces seasonal Goses and Berliner Weiss with cherries, raspberries, or cranberries; starting with Holiday Gose 2018.
Seattle, WA - November 1, 2018 - Reuben's Brews, a family-owned Seattle neighborhood brewery, has started its much-anticipated 2019 Gose seasonal lineup a little early with the newly released "Holiday Gose." Wrapped up in its iconic ugly holiday sweater-inspired packaging, this cranberry-orange Gose is a far cry from the season's standard dark and brooding brews.
"We are seeing consumers ask for lighter bodied, more refreshing beer options, like Gose," said Adam Robbings, co-founder and brewmaster for Reuben's Brews. "With the growing popularity of the style, and our own personal love for the beer, we were inspired to experiment a bit with taproom exclusive variations of Gose. Holiday Gose was a natural direction to take the style, and it kicks off the upcoming lineup for next year."
Reuben's Brews first released its Gose in the taproom in 2015 and it went on to win gold medals at the 2015 and 2016 Great American Beer Festivals. The first beer the brewery ever canned, the brewery's original Gose provides the foundation for the new series, which features both Gose and Berliner Weisse styles.
The seasonality is built into each brew planned for the series which, after the Holiday Gose, will begin in 2019 with Tart Cherry Weisse (January - March). Next up the brewery's traditional Gose will be available (April - August), followed by a nod to the Pacific Northwest berry harvest in fall with Razzmatazz, a Raspberry Berliner Weisse-style ale (September - October). Then Holiday Gose will return in its holiday party garb to round out the year (November - December).
The newly released 2018 Holiday Gose is fermented with the brewery's house lactobacillus culture and includes more than 10 pounds of cranberries per barrel, sweet orange zest, a touch of coriander and a hint of sea salt. The perfect pairing for rich holiday fare, this beer will be available in four-packs of twelve-ounce cans and on draft.
