Spotlight South Africa: Artjamming paintathon, kids paint to save elephants
Ask any parents with young kids nearing the end of a three week vacation in rainy weather what their idea of fun is, I would hesitate to guess that both the kids and the parents would agree that taking part in a paintathon in a warm shopping center with child minders galore would be top of their list.
And that is just what was on offer on 11 & 12 July with the International Fund for Animal Welfare and Artjamming teaming up for the first time for a paintathon forming part of IFAW Southern Africa’s Animal Action Education Programme activities.
Kids from all over the Western Cape were invited to take part in the IFAW Artjamming E is for Elephant paintathon which saw budding artists as young as five and kids up to 14 years of age expressing their creativity to highlight the plight of elephants around the world who are being relentlessly poached for their ivory.
Even though most of them have most likely not seen an elephant in the wild before, there is something about the majestic image of an elephant that stirs something inside a person and this definitely shone through the paintings of the children.
By chance, the importance of the event was further reitterated to all those present when a report was conveyed via a local radio station about the seizure of 46 elephant tusks with a value of around R12 million at Cape Town International Airport.
Artjamming’s owner Leora Israel shared the reaction of the participants, “it brought everyone to a standstill for a few minutes, making everyone realise the reality of the situation and that their involvement with the paintathon was making a difference for these beautiful animals”.
Day two’s events involved local television, radio and sports celebrities joining in the celebration of elephants by donning aprons and adding their splash of colour to doors. The celebs painted the doors side by side with youngsters including a group of children from the Reach for a Dream Foundation.
A tiring day drew to a close, paint splattered hands and arms testament to the hard work put in by everyone and fun had by all, with a painted nose here and there a further giveaway. The children reluctantly leaving easals, brushes and paint-splattered aprons behind, some running back for their E is for Elephant badges, proudly clutching them, a reminder of the day’s events and the part they played for elephants everywhere, who continue to fall at the cruel hands of poachers.
Take a minute to watch this short video of the event below...

Last month, a unicorn fell.
WeWork and its intended umbrella offering “The We Company” was one of the true darlings of the business service sector until just a few weeks ago, when its IPO failed spectacularly.
Like all big public failures, there are myriad lessons to be learned, but the overarching guidance from WeWork’s failure is this: Nothing is more important than strong and transparent corporate governance for a company considering going public.
Despite the huge hype for WeWork’s impending IPO last month, savvy investors already knew many of the issues that eventually sunk the offering. High operating costs meant the company was burning through cash rapidly with no path to profitability in sight. Long term leases, real estate acquisition debt and high operating costs created a stifling burden. But fundamentally, the problem was structural: WeWork is a traditional real estate company masquerading as a tech company, but without a tech company’s ability to scale fast at low cost.
The market may have been able to price these factors into the value of the offering, but when WeWork filed its first S-1 registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), would-be investors saw, for the first time, the absurd level of control exerted by the company’s eccentric founder, Adam Neumann.
Through a combination of super-voting shares and suspicious by-laws, Neumann was enshrined as the company’s CEO for life, and only his non-board-member wife was allowed to pick a successor if Neumann was unable to physically continue in that role.
Those “Founder” super-voting shares gave Neumann 20 votes per share with no sunset provision. While super-voting shares are not uncommon with tech startups (both Facebook and Google used them when they went public), they have started to come under closer scrutiny in recent years because of the kind of power it gave a single shareholder over the company. WeWork’s Founder shares clearly went too far, and essentially nullified any oversight by the board into Neumann’s leadership of the company. He could change the board at will, giving him control of the company in perpetuity.
Investor attention focused on other perceived areas of lax corporate governance, ranging from questionable business dealings by Neumann to the realm of the absurd: Neumann’s trademarking the term “We” and then forcing WeWork to buy the mark for $5.9 million; his alleged purchase and leaseback of real estate to the Company; the all-male board and its perceived lack of independence; reports of Neumann’s smoking weed on a private jet and serving employees tequila shot while discussing layoffs. Neumann engaged in exactly the kind of irresponsible and inappropriate behavior enabled by weak corporate governance and oversight.
After the initial backlash over its proposed IPO—which led to a devaluation of the company form nearly $50 billion to around $15 billion in a matter of weeks—WeWork filed an amended S-1 which focused on changes to its corporate structure and governance. It restrained Neumann’s super voting shares to 10-1 and gave the board power to appoint his successor, simultaneously calling for the appointment of a lead independent director and adding a female Harvard professor to the board. Neumann also turned over some of the profit that he made in related deals to the company, but the damage had already been done.
The public backlash from the original S-1, combined with the real prospect of the company running out of cash as soon as November, forced Neumann’s hand and he stepped down from his role as CEO, taking the largely symbolic position of nonexecutive chairman of the board. The changes may appear significant, but of course Neumann still had absolute control of the company through his super-voting shares.
Even with all the changes in place, it’s clear the damage had already been done. The amended S-1 did nothing to warm up a suspicious public to the proposed WeWork IPO. With investor confidence low and the grave flaws in its previous corporate governance structure exposed, the company pulled the plug on the IPO and turned its attention to the survival of WeWork in any form. This morning, Softbank Group Corp won approval from WeWork’s board to take control of the troubled startup in a deal that would sever most of Neumann’s remaining ties with the company.
The new deal values WeWork, a company targeted at a value of nearly $50B just a few weeks ago, at as little as $7.5B!
There is no question that a charismatic figure with a big vision is often crucial for a startup to rise to the level of a ‘unicorn’, but the big lesson Adam Neumann has unintentionally taught is that ultimate success depends on far more mundane factors: A robust corporate governance structure and strong transparency safeguards must be in place for investors to have confidence that decision makers are acting in the best interest of the company.
And as WeWork teaches us, if directors, executives, and professional advisors wait until they’re drafting an S-1 to build these structures, it’s way too late.
Keen investors look beyond the glitz of a business plan, star power CEO, or marquee investment banker to analyze the formative documents. Articles of incorporation and bylaws reveal such redflags as super voting preferred, unreasonable founders powers, or as the SEC recently noted, dual class shares https://www.sec.gov/news/speech/fleming-dual-class-shares-recipe-disaster
After a failed IPO has cost investors dearly, regulators and the investing community often look to “gatekeepers” for answers or to assign responsibility. Accountants, Auditors, Attorneys, Transfer Agents ( https://www.sec.gov/news/pressrelease/2016-265.html, and Broker Dealers ( ) have all been brought before the SEC in recent litigation related to going public transactions.
As these complicated transactions come together, investor’s due diligence should include a review of the founder’s choice of professional service providers. Accountants, lawyers, and financial service professionals are all bound by their own frameworks of accountability. But state bar associations, FINRA, the PCAOB and the SEC can often only address issues related to outright fraud, and then only after the fact. Oversight watchdogs are suffering universally from internal struggles ( https://www.wsj.com/articles/audit-watchdog-plagued-by-internal-strife-whistleblower-claims-11571152206 ). Today’s savy investor is well aware that regulator’s will not protect their investment, but merely provide a framework for disclosure. The S-1 registration statement should be considered one guiding component of a multi-disciplinary effort to learn about a company and its players before taking a calculated risk on the issuer’s shares.

Catch Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah and IBN18 Editor-in-Chief Rajdeep Sardesai in a heated debate on whether Article 370 should be repealed. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government was in talks to repeal Article 370, said an MoS from the Prime Minister’s Office.
Abdullah is of the view that if Article 370 wasn’t there, J&K would not have been part of India. He said to Sardesai, “Article 370 is the constitutional link between J&K and India, if it’s taken away then what’s left?”
The BJP is of the view that Article 370 should be repealed as now it’s irrelevant and giving special status to J&K. Watch the debate in this video and share your views in the comments below!

ITC Bradley Type belongs to the ITC Bradley Type Font Family which is part of the ITC Collection. It has Roman and Italic Fonts in Regular, Bold and Heavy. It is a hand drawn calligraphy font designed to be used in all text sizes. The smooth edge of the design allows it be enlarged up to very large display sizes It has also proved to be very legible for any size continuous text matter in all of its different weights giving a pleasant friendly appearance on the page. Richard Dawson of House Style Graphics from the UK, digitised this font from Richard Bradley's hand drawn originals to enable this font to be available for use on Apple Mac and PC's worldwide.
“After listening to so many graphic designers ask for a version without Bradley Hand’s rough edges, I knew I had a mandate,” acknowledges Bradley. “Bradley Hand, with its somewhat rugged demeanor, makes distinctive blocks of copy at small type sizes, but it can become visually distracting when the typeface is set much above 18 point. It became clear to me that a natural handwriting typeface for display purposes would be very useful.”
The design process had a humble beginning – but one that was perfectly suited to Bradley’s style of working. “I drew the typeface with a permanent felt tip pen on ordinary lined paper,” Bradley says. His primary goal was for the new design to retain the verve and spontaneity of handwriting – but look more refined than Bradley Hand. He also wanted the new typeface to be slightly more condensed than Bradley Hand, in the interest of space efficiency for titles, headlines, signage, and even billboards. “After many hours of writing and experimentation,” he continues, “I chose the best characters and then provided both my sketches and final drawings to Richard Dawson for font production.” Dawson is a type designer who is also skilled at providing digitizing services. Bradley is primarily a calligrapher and lettering artist – and happy to let font technology experts handle the conversion process.
From Bradley’s choice of pen and paper through Dawson’s digitizing, the undertaking was unified and collaborative. The final design of Bradley Type has the same handwritten, “everyday” feel that has made Bradley Hand so popular. While Bradley Hand is primarily best suited for small blocks of text copy, Bradley Type’s utility spans a much wider range of applications. “I designed the family,” says Bradley, “for casual home computer users as well as professional graphic communicators. For anyone who’s looking for a handwriting typeface, Bradley Type can be used at a variety of sizes for diverse projects.”
The result is a family of three weights, ranging from a svelte Regular weight, through a sturdy Bold to a robust Heavy. Each weight also has complementary italic design. Bradley also included a suite of handy ligatures for each weight, adding to the versatility of the family.

Human growth hormone regulation, anavar 633 mg
Human growth hormone regulation
One of the primary functions of the neuroendocrine system is the regulation of male sex hormones and androgens, especially testosterone and human growth hormone, to enable sperm development and for sperm retention. When a fertilised egg implants in the uterus, the ovaries secrete progesterone from the pituitary gland that prevents the egg from getting too far along its way to the uterus, and stimulates the ovaries to release luteinising hormone and follicle stimulating hormone. This stimulates the development of the adrenal cortex, which produces both sex hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and FSH (FSH stimulates synthesis of testosterone), and the conversion of androstenedione to DHT, human growth hormone in bodybuilding. While these functions of the CNS are only partially relevant to the functioning of the testes, a direct influence of these chemicals on the testes results in the formation of scrotal hyperplasia, which leads to an increased risk of prostate cancer. The direct effect of these testosterone-progesterone hormones on the penis is not known, human growth hormone is secreted by. In a similar situation, in the absence of gonadal hormone or estradiol, testicular cancer is increased in men who do not undergo surgical male changes, but who nevertheless carry a testosterone level above the normal range [37–42], human growth hormone regulation. A possible explanation could be a genetic predisposition that makes men with higher testosterone levels, who have had more sexual exposure to androgens, more prone to developing scrotal hyperplasia, or an inability to produce androstenedione. In summary, when there is a direct relationship between a man's blood type (e, human growth hormone supplements.g, human growth hormone supplements.

Music for Montauk’s (M4M) 2018 season will culminate on Sunday, October 21 with Hugo Wolf’s Italian Songbook. The special collaboration with Curtis on Tour, the Nina von Maltzahn global touring initiative of the Curtis Institute of Music, will take place at John Drew Theatre at Guild Hall in East Hampton. The performance, which begins at 2 p.m., will honor Carol Nye, a Music for Montauk board member who passed away recently.
“The songbook is like a Tour of Italy, it evokes the Tuscan countryside, with its Renaissance-arched church towers – Orvieto, Siena and Viterbo,” reflected M4M’s Miloš Repicky.
Italian Songbook tells the captivating tale of two young lovers in the Tuscan countryside through anonymous renaissance Italian poems, which were translated to German, and set to music by Wolf, an Austrian composer.
“The songs are miniatures – short, fleeting and over as quickly as any one of the feelings, quips, reproaches, or conversations the young lovers may have,” Repicky added.
For the performance, M4M will be joined by Pianist Mikael Eliasen of the Curtis Institute with soprano Ashley Robillard and baritone Dennis Chmelensk.
Italian Songbook will feature four 15-minute sets and a brief epilogue.
Tickets are $20 and can be found online, and at Naturally Good (779 Montauk Highway, Montauk) and White’s Liquors (771 Montauk Highway, Montauk).
Guild Hall is located at 158 Main Street in East Hampton. For more information, visit www.musicformontauk.org.

According to Moneyfacts.co.uk, January is the time of year when people are facing up to their borrowing during the festive season.
The firm claimed: “In the last couple of weeks thousands of people will have taken a sharp intake of breath when they realised the extent of their Christmas overspending as their latest credit card bills hit the doormat.”
Moneyfacts.co.uk claimed that in an attempt to become debt free people should also consider switching suppliers of personal finance products.
Earlier this month, Rachel Thrussell, head of savings at the institution, reported that it is vital consumers keep an eye on the rate of interest they receive on their savings account and ensure that they change providers in an attempt to get a good deal.
She suggested that those who do fail to do so could be missing out on hundreds of pounds every year.

Several tribal nations from across the state celebrated their heritage on the State Capitol grounds on Monday.
First Nations Day is a day honoring Native Americans and their culture. Five tribes from reservations across the state were represented.
A member from the Spirit Lake Nation told us how the acknowledgment of this day is significant to all.
“It’s going to open up a lot of doors for people to start asking a lot of questions not only about Indigenous culture but maybe question their own culture and learn about their own identity and who we are and how we’re all related in some way,” said Donovan Lambert.
First Nations Day was celebrated nationwide.

How to Work With the IRS Office of Appeals
Audited by the IRS? That's bad, but it doesn't have to be the end of the matter. Even if the auditor ruled against you, you can appeal. You will receive a copy of the auditor's ruling and a letter detailing how to make an appeal. You'll have to file your appeal in a timely manner, as outlined in the letter. The IRS requires you to include essential information, detailing the reasons you disagree with the ruling.
The IRS is expected to get back to you within 90 days. If not, contact the office to which you sent the appeal. If you still don't get any satisfaction, you can call an appeals account resolution specialist to get more information about the person who is assigned to your case.
You will need to put all your support together for your case—any bank statements, checks and other documentation. Organize them by the item you're disputing. A summary spreadsheet detailing each item in question and your reasoning for disputing it, along with references to your support documentation, will be helpful in making your case. Take it seriously, and provide a full dossier for your case.
Appeals hearings tend to be somewhat informal, but prepare an outline of what you want to say to the appeals officer so you don't forget anything. The officer may ask for additional information from you. If so, be sure to ask for as much time as you think you need to put it together. Take detailed notes, but keep in mind you're also free to record the session if you wish.
Realize that IRS appeals officers are trained to avoid losing a case in court, so they may negotiate a settlement with you. Be willing to do this, but be sure to ask them to waive any penalties assessed in the audit. When discussing the settlement, phrase your proposal in terms of items disputed or a percentage of what you owe. Once settled, the agreement is documented. You should receive a form a couple of months after your hearing. Read it, look for any errors and contact the IRS if you have any questions. But once you've signed the form, the matter is closed and cannot be taken up with the U.S. Tax Court.
Of course, each situation can differ and it's a good idea to make sure you are up to date on the latest IRS policies. Be sure to talk to your tax advisor about the appeals process so you have a game plan for making an appeal that has a chance of winning.

11th March 2016 at 2:48pm
After a rocky end to 2015, the start of 2016 has done little to improve investor sentiment.
In January alone, market volatility returned with a vengeance: the S&P 500 stock market endured its worst first week of a year ever while oil prices fell to new lows.
Meanwhile, China continued to be at the epicentre of global financial stresses. Late February and March have, however, seen a marked rally in stock markets.
Looking ahead, policy decisions look key. We can see that further action by central banks to stimulate economic activity is likely to be inevitable in some countries, although others may prefer to batten down the hatches and wait for the storm to pass.
Shock stimulus from European Central Bank
In moves that surprised many, in March the European Central Bank (ECB) announced further stimulus to help boost the flagging eurozone economy. The package of measures was more radical than investors had expected and markets oscillated on hearing the news.
Among other things, ECB president, Mario Draghi, revealed that main interest rates would reduce to 0% from 0.05% and its quantitative easing policy would be expanded to €80 billion a month, a leap of €20 billion.
The changes have been introduced to try to stop the eurozone from slumping into a potential period of deflation. Draghi pointed to continuing negative inflation rates and lower global growth prospects as reasons for the amendments to previous forecasts.
Oil storm: will it return to safe harbours?
In January, we explained the importance of falling oil prices, largely due to oversupply plus concerns over global growth. However, in recent weeks, the prospect of a deal between major exporters to cut production, along with signs of lower US shale output had caused crude oil prices to rally more than 25% from their earlier lows. In recent days, Brent oil has recovered close to $40 a barrel.
The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) still believes that demand for oil will grow by 1.25 million barrels per day in 2016, though this is marginally less than its previous forecast. Whether the proposed production deal will still go ahead, and what the impact will be if it does, is a matter of considerable debate.
When oil prices began to drop in 2015, the consensus was that global growth would accelerate. Instead, activity slowed last year and prospects for a sharp improvement in 2016 look dim.
So what went wrong? With the benefit of hindsight, we can see that the beneficial effects on consumers have been offset by the extent of the pull back in energy investment. In addition, the global economy in general and emerging markets in particular have been seriously affected by China’s slowdown and the extent of the fluctuations in the US dollar.
Distance grows between emerging and developed markets
This environment has proved painful for countries and companies with large commodity exposures and high levels of corporate debt. Financial stress is most acute in emerging markets, but developed market economies have not been insulated from these problems, for the following reasons.
- The trade links between emerging and developed markets have increased substantially,
- Companies in developed markets with high exposure to commodities have borrowed heavily,
- Consumers in developed markets are more cautious, which is limiting the potential kick to growth from lower oil prices.
So what is the end game? Fortunately, much emerging market dollar debt has a long repayment term, emerging market countries have substantial foreign exchange reserves, and commodity debt in developed nations is a small proportion of total debt. Because of this, we think there is little likelihood of a universal emerging markets crisis.
Policymakers in Japan are analysing risks to growth and inflation. In response, the Bank of Japan surprised markets with a move into negative interest rates. However, further steps to stimulate its economy may be inevitable.
Recession is an ugly word
Signs of slowing growth and rising financial stress have cast doubt over the outlook in the US. As financial stress continues to escalate, the dreaded “R” word is being debated by many investors and analysts: might the US economy be heading for recession this year?
We’ve examined it in detail and believe it was unlikely that the US economy was in recession in January. But the question remains, might it be heading there? We don’t think so. But, we do expect growth to slow in 2016.
In the meantime, we expect the Federal Reserve to delay further interest rate hikes until the financial fog clears, probably in June.
Closer to home there have been few signs of new policies from the Bank of England, which seems content to bide its time. A glance at the current economic environment explains why.
The UK is still growing solidly, although the pace of the upturn has undoubtedly slowed. Household consumption has been resilient as incomes are boosted by low inflation. However, there is a risk that consumers could decide to save rather than spend – psychology will become more important into the summer.
Overall, the Bank of England is watching the economic outlook carefully: continued robust consumer spending and business investment would help allay fears that a more serious slowdown is on the way.
It’s important to remember that financial markets are constantly moving and changing, and various factors could potentially lead to more or less financial turbulence during 2016.
While there are areas of value to be found in financial markets and asset classes, at Standard Life Investments we believe investors should remain selective in their decisions about where to invest. We also maintain our view that a well-diversified portfolio should provide an element of protection.
A personal pension is an investment and its value can go up or down and may be worth less than you paid in. Laws and tax rules may change in the future.
The information in this blog or any response to comments should not be regarded as financial advice and is correct as of March 2016.

To provide something a bit different and to give local chefs the chance to exhibit their talents, and create something totally unique!
The venue is totally unique in the greenhouse, and the reaction from guests has been totally amazing. There’s been lots of comparisons to Petersham Nursery, which I believe has a Michelin star so that’s really flattering.
But really it’s all about the chefs, and we’ve had some really top evenings!
It’s fine dining but accessible which is the key; all of our menus are priced reasonably and it’s bring your own booze – this adds a unique twist and means we can keep prices low.

He will be cooking a tapas-style feast. He’s keen to try out different flavours throughout the year. You’re looking at £35 per head, and if you look at the pictures on his website, you can see the standard of food is exceptional.
Brett Mills’ evening is really reasonable and really personable. I think diners can expect quite a lot from him!
His sushi night drew in a different crowd, people who wouldn’t usually come to Miserden or the nursery, so it was really great to see some new faces.
Yes, absolutely. Ruben heard about the restaurant on the grapevine which is exciting from my point of view, because it means it’s gaining attraction!
His first evening will be a Moroccan theme, and then he’s got a series of nights planned throughout the year which should be really exciting.
Something totally different, an exciting evening! It really stands apart from the usual gastropub food which is available in the Cotswolds.
It’s totally unique, I think outside of Cheltenham, maybe even as far as London, that quality of dining experience.
Heading to catering college after leaving school, Jonathan Richardson enjoyed a progressive career, reaching the dizzying heights of Le Manoir Aux Quat Saisons, Oxford – the world acclaimed chef, Raymond Blanc’s, flagship hotel.
Jonathan soon learnt the discipline of the kitchen, in addition to discovering the focus and dedication needed to be at the top of the career ladder, experiencing a few years of diverse kitchens, hotels, pubs, restaurants, private residences and large scale outside events, before focusing on private catering.
With 25 years’ working as a chef, Jonathan promises to pass his knowledge onto the plate!

Brett Mills’ love affair with food began when he was 12 years old, working washing up and watching the chefs work their magic, before spending most of his teen years working in the multicultural vibrant mecca of Brisbane, Australia.
Moving to Port Douglas at the age of 19, Brett began working at a Thai restaurant, learning all about Thai and Japanese cooking over the next three years, from the head chef, who was Japanese.
This led to Brett embarking on a worldwide journey, travelling across South East Asia and continental Europe, picking up knowledge and recipes along the way.
Inspired by clean, fresh food that’s made beautifully, Brett is a believer that people eat with their eyes; working at Soushi in Cirencester was therefore the perfect match, creating dishes that are crisp, clean, with an abundance of flavour, and look amazing!

With accolades including cooking with Michelin-starred chefs such as David Thompson and John Campbell, Ruben has also cooked at restaurants such as Ottolenghi in Islington and The Vineyard, to name just a few.
His enjoyment of experimenting results in a spontaneous, rustic menu which is constantly changing – but the dedication to use the best and most interesting ingredients stays the same.

I’ve now spent a full decade helping companies monetize their products. It was back in 2012 when I first began my forays into strategic pricing advisory at RELX, before going on to lead pricing practices at SBI and McKinsey & Company. Throughout that time, I’ve learned many things. Two that stick out are (1) I look better with a beard, and (2) growth stage companies consistently reach a point where they need help with pricing.
It’s not that startups do anything wrong. It’s more about focus. Founders and early teams typically don’t think comprehensively about monetization when they start their companies. This can be due to a lack of prioritization,but is often simply because things are moving so fast that they just don’t have time. Then they reach this natural inflection point where they’re starting to scale, the productand market have changed, and they realize that the Founder-based pricing strategy they have just doesn’t work anymore. They’re solidly in growth mode and – best case – their pricing isn’t helping them grow. Worst case, it’s actively holding them back.
So, what do they do? Hire a big consulting firm? Sure. But big consulting firms have big fees that many growing companies can’t justify yet. So, they take a step down and look to lower price, lower-value options that offer templatized solutions. Terrible idea! Are you going to trust the entire way that your company generates revenue to a cookie cutter??
The lack of best-in-class monetization solutions for startups at exactly the time they need it is really big gap in the market. It’s what led me to found Monevate in 2021.
We started with a simple mission: give more founders and executive teams access to the distinctive expertise that changes revenue growth trajectories (a solid pricing strategy change can add 10-15 percentage points) and adds multiples at valuation (a 10-15% growth increase can add 4-7X revenue multiples!).
We specialize in monetization and pricing strategies, helping companies price new products, transform their pricing strategies (including packaging and price metrics), reduce their discounting, and build organizations with heightened monetization capabilities. We mostly do this through short (6-12 week) consulting engagements, but for those companies that aren’t “there” yet, we offer trainings and coaching too.
We primarily service startups and other fast-growing, innovative companies. We frequently partner with VCs, PE Firms and Corporate Innovation Centers who want scalable approaches for their port cos and assets. We do both B2B and B2C (as well as all the other iterations of those letters, like B2B2C), and while tech is our bread and butter, we’re always interested to hear from other industries doing exciting things.
Even our name itself, Monevate – a portmanteau of “Monetize” and “Innovate” – speaks to our enthusiasm for what we do:
· To help companies monetize their innovative products: We build pricing strategies for new and growing products.
·To be Innovative with Monetization: We bring the creative design process necessary to achieve truly remarkable pricing strategies. For this, science is truly essential but wholly insufficient.
While we value creativity, we ground it in practicality. Our focus on the “best pragmatic answer (BPA)” means our recommendations are designed to be searching yet implementable. We’ll never hold back from telling our clients what we think they should do. But if they don’t want to do it (for whatever reason), we guide them towards doing what they are comfortable with in the best possible way.
Of course, to build a firm capable of giving this creative, practical, caring advisory, you need a pretty exceptional team, and that feeds into the second goal of Monevate. I aimed to create a consulting firm where we could nurture talented problem solvers who want to focus their consulting careers on Monetization, and who get as excited as I do about serving clients in this space.
At the end of the day, it’s a passion for seeing innovators like you be fairly rewarded that motivates us. You bring amazing things to life and provide incredible value for your customers, You deserve to capture a fair portion of that value. If you don’t think that’s happening for you, please drop your email here to receive future insights, exclusive content, or get in touch with one of our monetization experts.
Thanks for letting me share a little about why I think Monevate is so special and how we can help you. I hope we get to work with you.

Finding the perfect holiday gift for your employees is one of the more stressful tasks a business leader has in the fourth quarter. Gift cards are too impersonal and holiday treats are simply unhealthy. What, then, is the perfect holiday gift?
Gifting books to your team members this holiday season is a great way to show genuine appreciation for all that they do – and what is better than showing your team members that you care about their career growth and success?
Here are three more reasons to consider giving books this holiday season:
1. Books are affordable.
You can choose from thousands of books at all price points in order to find the title that is a perfect fit for your company. Books are a simple and cost-effective solution for holiday gifting.
2. Books inspire and motivate.
Reading about the success stories of business leaders inspires and motivates staff to accomplish more and express their creativity.
3. Books last a long time.
Unlike food and gift certificates, books have an indefinite shelf life. No matter how many times your team members have read a book, they can flip open its pages and enjoy it over and over again.
No matter what industry your company is in, there are relevant books available that can help you and your team become more efficient, knowledgeable and prepared to face whatever challenges lie ahead.
Find your perfect gift title with BookPal’s 2014 Corporate Gift Guide.

A 22-year-old Elmo man was killed in a single vehicle car crash near Polson on April 2.

For the most part, the device will remain largely the same. It will feature 4G LTE and 16GB of storage space.
However, the handset will offer a skinless Android 4.2 Jelly Bean Nexus experience, it will come with its bootloader already unlocked, and users will receive system updates as they come in.
This unlocked GS4 version will be available starting June 26 and will work on AT&T and T-Mobile networks. It can be purchased directly from the Google Play Store for $649.
For many, the lack of a new branded-Nexus flagship item from Google is a disappointment. Especially considering the popularity of last year's $349 16GB LG Nexus 4 (8GB, $299).
However, a pure Android experience on the high-powered handset is still attractive, especially for those who do not fancy Samsung's oft-criticized TouchWiz user interface.
While it remains unclear just how much has been stripped away from this GS4 version, it'll be interesting to see if the vanilla Android GS4 turns out to be more enticing than the original.
When CNET reviewed the GS4 in April, we gave it an Editors' Choice Award for its superb 13-megapixel camera, lightning-quick Snapdragon 600 processor, and numerous software features that include eye-tracking and gestures.
Check back often as this first-take will be updated throughout the day, and be sure to catch all of CNET's Google I/O coverage, including our (now-finished) .

It's been 2 years since Gotee Records’ Cochren & Co. released their debut album, Don’t Lose Hope. Now, singer/songwriter and worship leader Michael Cochren and wife Leah, release a strong sophomore offering, Running Home, which released on February 3rd.
Blurring the lines between American pop/rock and soul/blues to create a classic sound all their own, the 10-song project features hope-filled lyrics and timeless melodies.
“This album is all about running into the arms of God,” shares Michael Cochren, frontman for Cochren & Co. “It’s my story, but I also believe it’s the story of anyone who has found themselves far from home spiritually. We’ve all heard the saying there’s no place like home. When I think of what ‘home’ means, I think of comfort, rest, safety, and love. When we go off looking for these things in the broken world, we will never find them. Ultimately, we only find what we need when we return to our loving God.”
“Running Home” was co-written by Matthew West and Jeff Pardo, as well as also produced by Pardo (2022 Dove Awards Producer of the Year). Additional producers for the project include Chris Stevens (Gloria Gaynor), Kyle Williams (We Are Messengers) and David Leonard (All Sons & Daughters). Running Home also features guest vocalist Josh Baldwin on the song “The Final Say.”
He continues, “The title track is an anthem declaring, I’m done running away, I’m running home! And for my story, in my wandering years when it became more and more clear that the things I was using to fill my emptiness were really making me more empty, like the prodigal son, I began feeling a draw on my heart to return to my spiritual home. Yet I had this fear in my mind that God was just waiting for me in anger, to punish me. But that’s not how the parable ends… the father runs to greet the son, throws a robe around his back, a ring on his finger, a kiss on his cheek, and then they throw a party for him! I received this welcome from God, and that’s the welcome that’s waiting for anyone who says: I’m done running away, I’m running home!”
Cochren & Co. will be back again this year on the upcoming 2023 TobyMac Hits Deep Tour that will also feature CROWDER, Tasha Layton, Jon Reddick and Terrian.

Today The Salem News published an op-ed piece written by Heidi Roberts, the President and Founder of Friends of Beverly Animals. The original article can be found here, and the text is shown below.
It is spring again, and homeless cats and, to a lesser extent, dogs are being noticed in the streets of our cities and towns. Citizens are calling with information regarding the location of a stray or homeless cat or kittens and want someone to jump into action. People are often under the false impression that every city has an animal shelter and people who are paid to take care of the homeless animal population.
Not so. The animal control officers are not responsible for homeless cats.
Who is? Good question! Many cats were discarded by thoughtless owners to fend for themselves when the owner was moving. Many of these cats have not been spayed or neutered, so they reproduced. Their offspring become feral (wild) and not used to human contact.
These kittens can be trapped with humane traps and socialized as long as they are under 8 weeks old. The mothers should also be trapped and spayed and placed somewhere. But where? And who will do this immense task? Are there people who do this for a living? Where are they? Do they get paid? No, there is no one, just a few volunteers who have taken it upon themselves to help. They do as much as they can with limited resources.
And when they catch these mothers and kittens, then what?
Is there a shelter that can take these animals and house them and work with them to get them friendly enough so they can be adopted? Not really, because shelters want animals that can be adopted fast to make room for new ones. There is no shortage of animals that need new homes; many landlords don’t allow pets anymore, other landlords charge pet deposits many people can’t afford, or some people simply don’t want to be bothered with their cat or dog any longer.
Some cats and kittens that can’t be placed often live in a household of a kind person who has difficulty caring for them all and then may be labeled a “hoarder” when all the person did was try and help out people who heard that he or she takes in animals.
This person agonizes over turning a needy animal away. Without the backing of a local animal welfare group who can pay for veterinary care and help with placement, this person soon can become overwhelmed with the task.
Our foster homes get calls from desperate people from Beverly and many surrounding towns who can’t take care of their animals and have not been able to get them into shelters, because there are not enough places. We have to turn these people away, because if we didn’t, we would end up with too many animals ourselves.
Many people want to make one phone call and have their problem solved. They are surprised to hear that Beverly doesn’t have a shelter, and many people only think of a shelter when they need one.
Just recently, two 8-week-old female kittens were found in Beverly. They would have frozen to death if some people had not stepped forward and taken them in. One’s tail fell off due to frostbite. Both kittens are being fostered by a veterinary technician from Beverly Animal Hospital. The other foster homes (all three) in Beverly were full, because they are fostering cats and kittens that need to be socialized before they are friendly enough for placement.
What you can do to help:
Lobby your local government to set up a shelter or sanctuary for homeless animals.
Work with and support your local animal group, such as the Friends of Beverly Animals, to foster or adopt a hard to place cat or kitten.
Make sure you get your animals spayed or neutered.
Contact the MSPCA for low-cost or free services.
Get the “spay/neuter” license plate when you renew your car registration; this supports the spay/neuter fund.
Contact the Massachusetts Animal Coalition at www.massanimalcoalition.com.
Report any animal abuse or abandonment to the MSPCA.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank all our volunteers and supporters for their hard work, dedication and the financial support they have given us in the last five years. As an all-volunteer organization, we rely on their kindness and generosity in order to be able to help the hundreds of animals we have rescued during those years. I also want to thank those people who have stepped up to the plate and taken in a homeless animal themselves. Please continue, and maybe someday we will have a shelter or animal sanctuary right here in Beverly.
