Stick some sellotape around a grey lead pencil, pull it off, and then take a look at the tape. That grey layer left on the tape is the atomic-sized material graphene. So what? It certainly doesn’t sound very powerful, but graphene is actually highly tensile, 200 x stronger than steel and is the most conductive material known to man. It’s capabilities are so promising that global heavyweights like Samsung, IBM and Xerox are taking far more than a casual interest in it.
In fact, there are research units all over the world dedicated to understanding the possibilities graphene offers. They are discovering ways to print graphene transistor screens, create highly conductive nano chips and ultra-powerful batteries. Graphene could one day mean our everyday clothing charges our mobile phones, curtains could be used to power our homes and the proliferation of electric vehicles that run on super capacitor batteries. It could help purify salt water, clear toxic spills from the ocean, create more efficient engine lubricants and if mixed with a bulk material like concrete it could be used to reinforce buildings and bridges. Its potential is overwhelming.
So, if graphene is so exciting, why isn’t it getting the same amount of mainstream press as say 3D printing or the Internet of Things?
The answer lies in our ability to mass produce it. At present the price of graphene limits it for the most part to use in R&D. Until someone discovers a cost-effective way to mass manufacture it, it’ll remain unfeasible for common use. Nevertheless, the global race to achieve mass-production is underway and when the answer arrives- you can expect massive change and fast!
And these changes are beyond exciting… Let’s take architecture as an example. By using graphene, manufacturers will be able to make lighter, stronger materials. Ropes on suspension bridges can be 200 x thinner and achieve the same structural strength as we’re currently achieving, therefore they are easier to transport, quicker and cheaper to construct. Likewise, instead of anchoring buildings to the earth and building them up using concrete foundations and steel frames, incorporating graphene could allow for layered cities, with floating buildings tethered to the ground. We could even see skyscrapers that are twice as high, yet don’t buckle under their own weight like today’s buildings would.
Other exciting possibilities include the manufacturing of graphene surface skins for the interior and exterior of buildings. These 'intelligent' skins could be embedded with computers that report on their own health, thus reducing repair costs. Their thermal and electrical conducting properties could also help control interior atmosphere. Exterior paint is also set to change. By combining graphene with a limestone powder, paint could take on a reinforcing framework at a molecular level, making it not only decorative and protective, but a physically supportive layer. As a transparent material, graphene is also a perfect match for glass. The strength of graphene would make it practically unbreakable, and due to its conductivity we could potentially embed solar cells into windows. Imagine mega skyscrapers that are powered by their own windows! The potential is unmistakable and seemingly unending.
This insight is power. It’s not always the case in business that we can see into the future and know what’s about to hit- but the protracted race to produce commercial graphene offers us this power. We should consider the delay in graphene’s mass production as our ally. It allows us the opportunity to understand this exciting material and its possibilities, then plan and position our organisations in such a way that graphene will be a benefit, not a burden.
After all, the most successful innovators don’t act retrospectively. They see an opportunity and act now.
When it comes to graphene, there has never been a truer statement. Whether you run a small manufacturing operation, or a large multi-national, you need to be prepared. This super material is coming and it’s those with the right combination of foresight and ingenuity who will come out on top.

Constellation Brands Announces Commitment to Invest $10 Million in ‘Clear Vision Impact Fund’ to Support Black and Minority-Owned Businesses
VICTOR, N.Y., March 11, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ and STZ.B), a leading beverage alcohol company, announced today a commitment to invest $10 million in the Clear Vision Impact Fund, LP, a newly-formed investment vehicle founded by Siebert Williams Shank & Co., LLC – the only U.S. investment bank certified as a women and minority-owned enterprise. The Clear Vision Impact Fund’s objective is to make investments in minority-owned businesses, with an emphasis on African American/Black-owned businesses; businesses that operate in or serve underserved, predominantly African American and Latinx, markets; and businesses that foster inclusive growth.
“Minority-owned businesses are under-represented in our industry and many other business segments as pervasive and systemic barriers have existed for these companies and their leaders for far too long,” said Bill Newlands, Constellation Brands’ president and chief executive officer. “We remain committed to doing our part to help remove such barriers and we’re proud to partner with Siebert Williams Shank & Co. and other companies that have joined this effort. Working together, we can provide greater access to capital and opportunity for minority-owned businesses as well as the employees and communities they support.”
According to small business financing company Guidant Financial’s analysis of African American/Black-owned businesses in 2020, lack of cash flow or capital is cited as one of the main challenges facing Black entrepreneurs(1). In addition, minority-owned firms often face lending discrimination. The National Community Reinvestment Coalition, an organization that works to champion fairness and end discrimination in lending, housing and business, found that in 44 percent of tests, Black business lending applicants received disparate treatment from lenders, including discouraging Black firms from applying for a loan and requiring additional information of Black firms compared to White firms(2).
Constellation’s investment in the fund is part of the company’s commitment to invest $100 million in African American/Black and minority-owned businesses by 2030, a component of the company’s multi-initiative racial justice action plan aimed at achieving greater equity for African American/Black and minority colleagues at Constellation, within the beverage alcohol industry, and within the communities where the company operates.
“Supporting our communities has been a core part of Constellation Brands’ DNA since our founding more than 75 years ago and we are committed to fostering economic prosperity and development for disadvantaged communities around the world where we operate,” said Michael McGrew, Constellation Brands’ chief diversity officer. “We’re proud to play a role in helping provide greater access to support and opportunity in our communities by giving Black and minority-owned small businesses a more equitable fighting chance through this investment. While we still have much work ahead to reach our ultimate goals, I am extremely inspired by our team’s passion and dedication to making meaningful progress.”

Up to Can$100,000 available for local organisations under Canadian grant initiative
Non-governmental organisations in Jamaica and seven other Caribbean countries will be able to access grants of up to Can$100,000 to undertake various projects to assist vulnerable populations.
The support is being provided by the Government of Canada under the Local Engagement and Action Fund (LEAF).
It will assist registered not-for-profit entities with projects that relate to gender equality, human rights, the environment, climate change and biodiversity, sexual and reproductive health rights, gender-based violence, youth engagement, and strengthening organisational effectiveness.
Short-term projects (six to 12 months) will be able to access Can$20,000 to Can$50,000, provided that the organisation has been operating for at least two years, with limited or no experience.
In addition, Can$50,001 to Can$100,000 will be provided for long-term projects (12 to 24 months). These organisation must be operating for at least three years with a proven track record of implementing similar projects. For this category, audited financial statements are required.
An annual call for proposals will be issued over five years, 2023 to 2027 in Jamaica, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, St. Lucia, Suriname, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Speaking at the local launch ceremony at The Jamaica Pegasus hotel in New Kingston today, High Commissioner of Canada to Jamaica, Emina Tudakovic, said that after more than 60 years of cooperation, “Canada is proud to continue to be a trusted partner in supporting Jamaica's development”.
She noted that Canada is “working more seriously” to change how it approaches development, with greater focus on localisation, which speaks to “shifting power and resources to local actors to drive their own development”.
Director General of the Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ), Dr Wayne Henry, said that it is anticipated that LEAF will become a critical component of Jamaica's development agenda as it seeks to support vulnerable groups at the local level.
“These objectives directly align with goal one of Vision 2030…which states that Jamaicans are empowered to achieve their fullest potential,” Dr Henry said.
He pointed out that as Jamaica seeks to implement social programmes, “we are cognisant that the needs on the ground far outweigh the resources available”.
“The assistance provided under LEAF will strengthen the support given to organisations working with community residents from the most vulnerable groups such as at-risk youth and children, school dropouts, persons who are unemployed, victims of crime, survivors of domestic and family violence, the elderly, and persons with disabilities,” Dr Henry outlined.
LEAF Coordinator, Bridgette Barrett, informed that this year's call for proposals will begin on May 1 in Guyana and Suriname. This will be followed by Belize and Jamaica on June 5.
For all countries, respondents have 30 days in which to make their submissions to benefit from the funding.
In Jamaica and Belize, the grant will be awarded in September and for Guyana and Suriname, August.
The funds can be used to support accounting, administrative and overhead costs, purchase of equipment, technology and project-related supplies, advocacy and lobbying-related costs, civic education, among other things.
Eligible entities include civil society, non-governmental and community-based organisations; women's rights groups; benevolent societies; foundations; charitable groups; associations; public educational institutions; national organisations (departments and agencies); subnational entities (municipal councils, town councils, city councils); regional organisations; and federations and networks.
LEAF is a mechanism under the Field Support Services Project – Caribbean (FSSP-C), which is funded by Global Affairs Canada. Implementing partner is World University Service of Canada (WUSC).

CASE Valentine Card - Masculine and Simple
When I made up my full Valentine list I included my mom's husband. He is into woodworking and is a clean and simple sort of guy. Very artistic and good at everything he does. I saw this card on pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/pin/189432728058204492/ and thought something along those lines would be perfect.
I dug through my 6x6 paper pads and found a nice wood paper with a rose in the bottom corner of it. I thought, he will be ok with the rose, after all it IS Valentine's Day. I did not have the right sizes of hearts to use so I did the best I could. Actually, I learned something at this point. I DO have the right size heart, but alas it is on a solid metal backing with 3 hearts and an arrow. So when die shopping, think about all possible applications, don't just buy a solid set of dies on one piece if you need to cut out a shape separate from the rest. Lesson learned.
I did not want to go with white lettering so I used a scrap of cream linen with a slight shimmer to it and used brown StazOn. I mounted this on a cream base and used a cream envelope (I point this out because it is so rare that I use cream over white.)
I had some leftover Christmas enamel dots that finished it off perfectly.
The brown silhouette heart was done with Ground Espresso Distress Ink.
I am entering this project in the following Challenges:

PRESS RELEASE: Hostcomm has announced details of its new partnership with the developers of FLG (formerly FLG360), a powerful customer relationship management (CRM) system.
When the CRM system is integrated with Hostcomm’s own hosted dialler services, contact centres can introduce rich automation and new functionality designed to make agents more productive.
“A dialler makes it possible to connect more calls and give agents more conversations,” says Chris Key, Director at Hostcomm. “Meanwhile, a CRM system like FLG lets you organise customer data, record the details of your interactions, track leads, and much more. Both solutions improve productivity and maximise results, whether those are outbound campaign statistics or customer service metrics. They serve similar purposes, in different ways – and that’s why they make such a powerful pair.”
When FLG is integrated with Hostcomm’s hosted dialler, new functionality streamlines common processes, allowing agents to spend more time on calls.
During outbound dialling, the dialler interface can screen pop customer records pulled directly from the FLG database. This ensures that agents are ready to begin calls immediately, armed with all the information they need. With screen pop, agents can save around 20 seconds per call – over an estimated 200 calls, this represents more than hour of time saved. In addition, screen pop improves the customer experience by making agents more knowledgeable from the outset.
Another significant drain on talk time is manual dialling. When agents are required to enter phone numbers by hand, as much as an hour of time could be wasted through the working day. Hostcomm’s FLG integration offers click to dial functionality from within the CRM interface, eliminating manual dialling altogether. As a result, agents can make calls quicker and avoid the dialling errors that come with any manual process.
“Integration with FLG means that any company can experience improved dialler efficiency,” adds Key. “That means they can accomplish more and work through data in the CRM system faster, while keeping the data up-to-date with the use of automatic lead creation.”
A CRM system is most effective when every lead can be tracked from its earliest stages, and this tracking continues through the customer’s entire lifecycle. With that in mind, Hostcomm’s dialler can automatically create new leads in the FLG database.
During calls, agents can be presented with a customised form in the dialler, which allows data to be collected. This could include generic data including customer names and addresses, as well as sector or business specific information. Then, when calls are dispositioned as new leads, the data is automatically populated as a new record in FLG.
This approach, where data is loaded to the dialler and only genuine leads are added to the CRM system, is an effective way to maintain CRM data quality. Any dead or stale data never reaches FLG’s database. In addition, since increased data storage usually comes with an increased cost, this can be an effective way to reduce the expense of CRM services.
“FLG is all about extreme velocity, highly automated selling,” says Steven Booth. “And a hosted dialler brings automation and speed to calling, so agents can achieve higher contact rates and make more sales. For contact centres that need to convert a constant flow of sales leads into business, FLG is the right choice.”

Ingrown Hair Scar, Won’t Heal, How to Get Rid Naturally
Ingrown hair scar is a common complaint for anyone who has had an ingrown hair bump. Scarring is a natural part of healing process. Ingrown hairs are common in parts of the body where hair is removed frequently. They occur when hair curls back into the skin or fail to penetrate to the surface.
Ingrown hair bump and scars are not a serious condition, they can, however, be painful and irritating especially when occurring around the groin. The scars can occur on any part of the body.
When infected, an ingrown hair bump can turn red, itchy, painful and swollen in most cases. This can result from an infection of the hair follicle or from a secondary infection. Most infections can be treated with oral o topical antibiotics.
An ingrown hair scar can result from an ingrown hair caused by any of the following:
- Poor hair removal techniques such as shaving and waxing
- Friction from wearing ill-fitting clothes
- Poor hygiene causing fungal and bacterial infections
- Chemical irritants and poor quality makeup
- Clogging of the hair follicles with dirt, sebum, makeup and dead skin cells.
Ingrown hair scar bump
What do ingrown hair scar bumps look like? After shaving your beard, head, scrotum, around the groin area or along the bikini line, you are likely to notice some small itchy, red, and painful bumps appear. These bumps will resemble small pimples but they are not actually pimples, they are not hives either, they are known as ingrown hair bumps or razor bumps.
They are hair that has curled around and grown back into your skin. Instead of rising up from the skin, ingrown hair grows sideways or under the skin. This occurs in two ways:
- Sebum, dirt and dead skin cells clog the hair follicles making it hard for the hair to grow outwards and upwards or
- In people with naturally coarse and curly hair, cutting it too close to the skin will result in the sharp end piercing the skin causing the hair to grow downwards this is what causes an ingrown hair bump.
According to WebMD, an ingrown hair bump will produce a raised red bump that can be itchy and irritates the skin. The bump will often look like a little pimple when infected, it forms a painful, boil-like sore that will heal to form a scar.
For men, these bumps will often poop up as a bunch of little pimples on the chin, neck, and cheek after shaving. For women, ingrown hair bumps can be seen on legs, in public areas, and under armpits. The bumps can also appear on your butt.

Ingrown hair under scar tissue
A scar according to NHS is a mark left on the skin after a wound or injury has healed. It is a natural part of the healing process. Thought some may never disappear, most will fade away or become pale over time.
For a large scar occurring on the scalp, on the cheek, or on the chin, it is not uncommon for one to notice an ingrown hair under the scar tissue.
This occurs because the scar tissue blocks the hair from penetrating out of the skin as a result, the hair may curve downward or sideways to form the ingrown hair.
It is worth mentioning that scars can be a fine line, a pitted hole on the skin or an abnormal overgrowth of tissue. Scars can be categorized into:
a) Normal fine line scars, these are a result of a minor wound like a cut. The scar is a red, raised line that gets paler and flattens over time. They will often not disappear completely, one is left with a visible line or mark
b) Keloid scar which is an overgrowth of tissue. It occurs when too much collagen is produced at the site of the wound. This scar will keep growing even after the wound has healed
c) Hypertrophic scars, like keloid scars, these too are formed by excess collagen production. Unlike keloid scars, they do not extend the boundaries of the wound. They may continue to thicken up to a period of six months
d) Sunken or pitted scars this is caused by skin conditions such as acne, chicken pox or ingrown hair. They are also referred to as atrophic or icepick scars.
e) Scars contracture, these are often caused by burns, they are formed when the skin shrinks causing it to tighten. They can restrict movements.
Ingrown hair scar on stomach
On stomach, the early signs of an ingrown hair bump can be shown by symptoms such as itching, tingling and continued urge to scratch. As mentioned, ingrown hair can occur on any part of the body. When occurring on the stomach, ingrown hair scars can result from ingrown hair bump caused by:
- Hormonal changes, imbalance or fluctuation, this is common in women during period and when pregnant
- The bumps can also occur as a result of damaged hair follicles from wearing ill-fitting or irritating clothes
Regardless of what the underlying cause is, the bumps can then result in dark scars after healing. As said, scars are a natural healing process of a wound.
Women are more like to develop ingrown hair scars or bumps on the stomach than men. You should avoid scratching, popping or touching the bumps with dirty hands as this increase the chances of the bump becoming infected.
There are a lot of natural remedies you can use to relieve the symptoms and get rid of the bumps at home. These options are discussed in the section below.
Ingrown hair scar on pubic area and on bikini line
It is common for ingrown hair bump to leave scars after healing. As mentioned, scars are a natural healing process. On pubic area and on bikini line, poor methods of hair removal are the major cause of ingrown hair.
Other known cause of ingrown hair on pubic area will include
- Irritation from wearing ill-fitting clothes
- Poor hygiene that causes the hair follicles to clog
- Using heavy cosmetic products
- Hormonal fluctuation especially during period and during pregnancy
Though the scars will often clear on their own, they can be really annoying and embarrassing when occurring along the bikini line. There are some things you could do to improve the appearance of the scars.
If they fail to go away, we recommend you have your dermatologist look at them as soon as possible.
Ingrown hair scars on pubic area will in most cases be mistaken for sexually transmitted bumps such as herpes and genital warts. Your healthcare provider will be able to examine the scars and ascertain whether it is something serious or not.
To manage ingrown hair on bikini line or on pubic area, we recommend you do the following:
- Stop shaving and removing hair from your bikini line for a while. As the hair grows, the buried tip may eventually extract itself from underneath the skin
- You can use a needle or a pair of tweezers to gently draw out the ingrown hair
- An alternative would be to scrape the papule with a soft-bristle brush. when scrapping the ingrown hair, do it gently in a circular motion
- Topical creams as retinoid, cortisone and hydrocortisone can be used to kill bacterial infections, remove dead skin cells from the pores and decrease inflammation.
- For swollen ingrown hair bump, a gentle warm compress on the affected area can help relieve the swelling and soothe the itching
How to get rid of ingrown hair scars on legs naturally
Razor bumps, or ingrown hair bumps and scars can naturally be removed at home with simple remedies. Here are some of the most effective ways you can use to get rid of the ingrown hair on skin that causes red, raised, pimple-like bump.
The remedies can also help soothe and relieve the redness, inflammation, pain, itching, and irritations. Discontinue the use of the remedies if you notice any reaction or the bumps and scars seems not to go away. We recommend you see your dermatology as soon as possible.
1. Tea tree oil
This is one of the most effective remedies that can be used on skin. It is said to be an antibacterial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent. To use this remedy:
- Dilute few drops of tea tree oil
- You can use a clean cotton ball to apply the remedy on the affected area
- Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing it off
- If you have a sensitive skin, try the remedy on a small portion of skin before applying it over a large part of skin
2. Aspirin Paste
When the ingrown hair scar causes redness and inflammation, applying a paste of aspirin can be the best way to get rid of it. The anti-inflammatory properties of aspirin will help reduce the swelling and fight mild infections.
- Soak 5 aspirin tablets in few tablespoons of water
- You can add a tablespoon of raw Manuka honey to prepare a thick paste
- Apply the resulting paste on the affected area and leave it on for 10 minutes
- Wash it off with cold water, repeat this twice or thrice a day
3. Sugar Scrub
Applying a sugar scrub over the affected area can be a great way to exfoliate the skin and get rid of the ingrown hair. When used on face, a sugar scrub can make your skin appear silky smooth.
- Mix a cup of sugar with half a cup of virgin oil
- You can also add few drops of tea tree oil then gently mix
- Apply the fine paste on the affected area then leave it on for some minutes
- You can then rinse it off with lukewarm water
- You will need to repeat this 2-3 times a day
4. Apple cider vinegar
You can also use ACV to reduce inflammation and soothe the skin of itching and irritation. This remedy can be a great way to destroy skin bacterial and yeast. This will help reduce the risk of infection. use a clean cotton ball or washcloth to gently apply the remedy over the affected area.
Deep ingrown hair removal
5. Benzoyl peroxide
For a deep ingrown hair filled with pus, applying benzoyl peroxide twice a day will help soften the skin making it easier to remove or get rid of the ingrown hair. This remedy is an effective way to remove all the dead skin cell clogging the skin pores.
Exfoliating a deep ingrown hair scar can help reduce the prominence of the scar by slowly fading them away. This option does not, however, remove the scar completely. There are some side effects involved when using a chemical cream to exfoliate.
At home, you can use lemon juice to safely remove the scars.
7. Chemical Peeling
Chemical creams can also be used to remove the ingrown hair. This option can be used to improve the appearance of the skin. In this procedure, a chemical solution is applied to the affected part of the skin. It causes the skin to exfoliate and eventually peel off.
8. Laser treatment
Pulse dye laser therapy is recommended for removal of deep ingrown hair. Minimum side effects are often involved when using this method to remove the scars.
Microdermabrasion is a painless cosmetic procedure that can be used to get rid of deep ingrown hair. In this procedure, the skin is sprayed with exfoliant crystals to remove dead epidermal cells. Doing this opens up the skin pores thus extracting the ingrown hair.
Ingrown hair scar won’t heal
Normally, ingrown hair scars won’t take long to heal. Most will infect heal on their own without treatment. When the scar won’t heal, it can be a sign of something serious. Have your dermatologist or health care provider look at it as soon as possible.
According to the American cancer society, possible signs and symptoms of melanoma will include the following:
- Asymmetry, one half of the scar may fail to match the other
- Border, the scar may have irregular, ragged, or blurred border
- Color is not the same and may include different shades of black and brown
- Diameter, the scar may be larger than 6mm across
- Evolving, the bump may be characterized by changes in color, shape, and size

CRM modules, within an ERP software system, streamline sales-critical information with production and product teams. This means a seamless processing of contracts from the sales team to production to shipping and returns. A CRM in an ERP houses complete customer contact information and makes account notes available to all stakeholders in the purchase and production process. My Office Apps offers business automation for today’s business environment. MOA presents the best features in a cloud-based solution in one fully integrated software. Our robust and intuitive user interface retrieves information quickly, accurately, and in real-time, giving you the exact information when you need it.
There are several ERP system examples that can streamline operations for manufacturing, accounting, marketing and more. Enterprise resource planning solutions are a vital part of today’s business landscape. With all kinds of new ERP solutions constantly popping up, the ERP software industry is becoming competitive – so which vendors are the best?
This Is A Simple Definition Of Erp
A hybrid model could be even more expensive, as it requires many of the resources to support on-premises ERP in addition to the subscription fees for cloud applications. Adhering to industry-standard best practices has major business advantages. Companies often find that they improve and modernize their processes, and in turn maximize operational efficiency and avoid falling behind competitors. Observing best practices also helps companies comply with key financial standards.
If the workflow is mostly automated, much of this manual data entry is performed by the ERP system, and some data fields will already be filled in with information from other modules. Behind the scenes, ERP modules are exchanging messages with each other or changing records in the database to ensure that the data is accurate. For example, when the user requests an order shipment, data accessed by the inventory management module must change to reflect the reduction in available inventory. An ERP system is also likely to have a consistent look and feel across modules, unlike a collection of business management software from different vendors. Human resources , also known as human capital management is another core process that companies try to improve with ERP.
It provides essential real-time information about your company, highlighting areas for improvement, and ensures you comply with financial regulations—all from one place. ERP deployments are complex and expensive endeavors, and some organizations struggle to define the business benefits. ERP systems are comprised of modules that focus on certain business processes, such as accounting, manufacturing, and CRM. These modules function using a central database, allowing access to real-time data, and give visibility into business performance across these departments while minimizing data duplication.
Data from worker inputs or incoming orders is automatically made available in all other relevant departments. This enables better synchronization between departments, eliminates redundancies, avoids duplication errors, etc. If you’re looking for your firstERP solutionor looking to upgrade from an existing system, the evaluation, selection, and implementation process is a long-term strategic decision for your organization. If you can check off at least sixty or seventy percent of the list above, it’s time to start exploring vendors.
This combined data collection and reporting offers valuable insight, such as where to cut costs and streamline processes, providing the information to make real-time business decisions. Businesses with lots of employees should add human resources management /human capital management systems sooner rather than later to improve the employee experience and earn a reputation as a great workplace. An ERP is a critical business system that must mesh with how each company operates, so there is no one “best” platform. Required capabilities, preferred deployment model and company size will all affect your decision when buying an ERP system. Look to established vendors with proven records of success working with companies in your vertical.
Technology Provider Service Management
That can be done by connecting your back-office functions —namely financials, billing, and product and service delivery—to your front office , so you can create a comprehensive view of your customers. Telecom companies must contend with new technologies, demand to deliver services faster at a lower cost, and the drive for growth.

But its functionality and expansion modules are limited, and it lags slightly behind the competition in drill-down and customization features. The term “ERP” or “Enterprise Resource Planning” was originally coined by industry analyst, The Gartner Group, in the 1990s. It evolved from MRP, a term that was already well-known in business at that time. MRP stands for both Material Requirements Planning and Manufacturing Resource Planning . These systems were created back in the 1960s when manufacturing-based companies were looking for ways to improve efficiency and decision-making for production line managers.
Financial systems are included within ERP systems as a subset of modules. How to Create Your Custom ERP System software provides business operations with many benefits, including operational efficiency to improve the organization’s overall functionality. Accounting, customer relationship management, and business management functions improve significantly. Katana is a manufacturing ERP that gives you a live look at your business. Features include live inventory and manufacturing management, batch tracking for end-to-end traceability, a Shop Floor App for total floor-level control, open API, and a growing channel partner network. Real-time master planning features automate resource allocation based on prioritized sales orders and integrations with e-commerce, accounting, CRM, and reporting services to centralize all key business operations.
Other ERP modules common to most businesses include order management, customer relationship management and purchasing . Medium-sized businesses typically need more functionality than is available in small business ERP software, but not as much as an enterprise would need. While the needs of a medium-sized business differ from those of an enterprise, the same same cloud infrastructure is often used, but with reduced technical requirements. These three options work for medium-sized businesses and enterprises.
The data platform vendor extended its Apache Pulsar-based Astra Streaming platform with support for more streaming protocols, … The arrival of cloud ERP in the late 1990s was the next fundamental shift in how ERP was delivered and consumed. Cloud computing’s internet connectivity made it easier for companies to connect their ERP systems to customers, suppliers and partners. Some companies are reluctant to put such mission-critical systems https://globalcloudteam.com/ in the cloud for a variety of reasons, including perceived security risks or loss of data control. Others in highly regulated industries or government may be restricted by where systems and data must be located, which often means keeping the system on premises. The core ERP system is where orders are usually initiated and tracked, inventory is managed and accounting functions, such as invoicing and accounts receivable, are performed.

- Customization is crucial in squeezing every bit of value from ERP software.
- It can automate and better manage tasks related to purchasing, inventory and order management, manufacturing project management, workforce management, sales and marketing and more.
- Companies needed to buy servers, hire an IT team with the appropriate expertise and then pay for licensing and implementation.
- There are several regular goals for a fleet management program, and one of the most common is saving money.
- As the enterprise software space consolidates, companies may not wish to support all of the products they acquire in perpetuity.
The ERP software market has been around for over 40 years, and do you know why? In these 40+ years, the market has grown with new vendors and industries, diversifying the pie into a melting pot of different shapes and sizes thanks to new technological advances and business scalability. For manufacturing businesses, life is a sea of acronyms and abbreviations. From CRM to EAM, things can get murky, especially when the functions of so many systems overlap. We relentlessly collect and analyze data about software, then compile and share it so every company has the same access to the information.
Cloud Erp Integration
Cloud-based ERPs come in two forms – private cloud and public cloud. A private cloud ERP is single-tenant, where the client gets access to their own copy of the software through the web. The software instance is only for the client to use and may either utilize public cloud resources or be installed in a dedicated server. This allows for more customization but also comes with a steeper price tag.

An ERP comprises a number of different modules — bundles of features tailored for various aspects of the business, including back- and front-office roles. The right ERP system will be scalable and flexible enough to meet your company’s needs today and for the foreseeable future. Cloud systems in particular adapt to minor and major operational changes even as the amount of data the organization captures and demand for access increase. There are no duplicate or conflicting sources of information, and companies have the ability schedule and distribute dynamic reports automatically.

Enterprise resource planning software was originally developed for large organizations to manage their entire operation from a single software console.
Choosing The Right Erp System
With the rapid development of new technologies, it makes sense for ERP vendors to follow suit and implement these new tools into their systems. Here are some of the technical abilities you might look for during the ERP selection process. Choosing an ERP system is among the most challenging decisions IT leaders face.
In essence, ERP is a systemic approach to managing the entire enterprise, not just its finances. By integrating all of these modules into a single, cohesive whole, customers can gain new insights and create new processes that weren’t possible using separate tools. Decide how much historical data you want to migrate into your system, then make plans to start the migration process as early as possible. Give employees and team members enough time to understand why you’re implementing a new system, and how it will affect their roles.
The desire for cloud ERP systems has grown significantly in the last few years, primarily because of their abilities to access and analyze huge amounts of data in near real-time. Cloud computing lets a company leverage the servers and computing power of a SaaS vendor—rather than purchasing their own server farm or data center. Renting computing power from cloud vendors has significantly democratized highly complex computing programs like ERP, making them available to a wide variety of customers. Some examples of cloud ERP services are Oracle ERP Cloud, Sage Intacct, and Netsuite ERP Cloud.

You work with vendors and third-party applications across the globe. You don’t have easy access into the data you need to make informed decisions about your business. Your team members are spending too much time on tasks you know could be automated and streamlined. Offer powerful reporting and forecasting tools that you can use to make informed decisions about the future of your business. Provide business leaders with real-time visibility into their operations. Refers to systems that are implemented and maintained onsite and are likewise hosted by the organization’s owned servers are known as on-premises ERP.
“Hybrid” ERP software refers to a combined implementation of cloud-based and on-premise ERP system solutions. The combination of hosting and deployment services vary by provider. These models can provide ERP users the flexibility to migrate between delivery models, or integrate benefits not available existing implementation. ERP software has the ability to collect and compare metrics across departments and provide a number of different reports based on roles or specific user preferences.
Unless a specific customization provides a competitive advantage or measurable benefit, consider saving the extra time and money custom coding often requires. You may want to provide a demo script that outlines specific business functions, workflows, or features you expect to see during the demo. You might feel as if directing the demo with precision will save time and help you better determine whether the software meets your goals.

This jade pectoral expresses the close relationship between greenstone celts and maize in Olmec thought. The object is clearly celtiform, with a slightly narrowing poll and a sharpened bit edge at the opposite end. Nonetheless, because the object is strongly tabular, it is unlikely that it ever served as a true axe head. Two biconically drilled holes pierce the squared edge on one side of the piece, allowing the object to be worn horizontally as a pectoral. An Olmec design is boldly incised on one side. The motif is oriented toward the long vertical axis, and thus would appear on its side when the object was worn as a pendant. Rather than being lightly scratched on the surface, the decoration seems to have been cut with a back and forth sawlike motion. Areas of overcutting are readily visible in the lower U-like form of the motif. Similar incision is evident on the reverse side, although in this case, the carving seems to have been aborted. In addition, two other cut marks can be seen on the reverse side on the lower edge opposite the two drilled holes. It is probable that these two cut marks, near the poll and bit ends, are remnants of the preliminary blocking and cutting of the celt pendant. The surface design contains a prominent maize sign. The trefoil element near the bit end represents a maize ear partly projecting out of an enclosing husk.

Whilst it is important to consider how the Court determines property settlement, there are other practical considerations to turn your mind to when separating from your partner, to ensure all financial ties are severed and property settlement finalised. One of those ‘other considerations’ includes any grants received during the relationship. This blog focuses on the first home owner’s grant and how it is treated in family law property settlement.
Grants, including the first home owner’s grant, are most relevant when real property is owned in joint names and grants are received in joint names tied to that real property.
What is the first home owner’s grant?
The first home owner grant is a national scheme funded by each state and territory. It is a one-off payment to encourage and assist first home buyers to buy a home or build a new residential property for use as their principal place of residence.
The grant is available to first home owners who meet the eligibility criteria. Although there are some standard criteria, some criteria may vary depending on which state or territory the purchase is being made.
The key is that the property purchased or built is to be used as a principal place of residence. This is compared to purchases, for example, for investment purposes.
Only one grant is payable per eligible transaction. So, two people (such as a de facto couple or married couple) purchasing a house together can only receive one grant.
Crucial obligations when receiving a first home owner’s grant
It is important that you are aware of your obligations under the grant as there are a number of requirements to fulfil following receipt of the grant.
A primary consideration, as it relates to family law property settlement, is that you must occupy the home as your principal place of residence for a continuous period of at least six months commencing:
- within 12 months of settlement if purchasing a home; or
- within 12 months from the date of completion, if building a home.
There are also other conditions of the grant that will not be discussed for the purpose of this blog.
What if we receive the grant but separate prior to occupying the property?
If you and your former partner receive a first home owner’s grant but separate while the residency requirements are still in play, there are a number of options which may be suitable, depending on your individual circumstances:
- Repaying the grant in full;
- Coming to a payment arrangement to repay the grant;
- Applying for a reduction in the residency requirements; and
- Applying for an exemption from the residency requirements.
How does the first home owner’s grant affect my property settlement?
It is important to consider the form and timing of any Court orders or agreement for property settlement. Things to consider include:
- Who will retain the real property?
- Are the real property and the grant held in the person’s name who will ultimately retain the property, or is a transfer required?
- Will the real property be sold? If so, will this trigger repayment of some or all of the grant?
- When will any transfer or sale of real property take place?
- Is such date subsequent or prior to the requirements of the grant being fulfilled?
- Will I be eligible for the grant again and if not, should I be compensated (in property settlement negotiations) for losing the benefit of access to the grant?
Engaging an experienced family lawyer to negotiate your property settlement, will ensure that every detail is thoroughly taken into account and the asset distribution is fair and equitable.

I have an Amana gas range/stove model ARG7302WW. I cleaned the oven with spray oven cleaner, and now the range burners nor the oven will light. I do not have an owner's manual. Can you help with a proceedure?
Make: Amana Gas Range/OvenModel: ARG7302WW
I used spray oven cleaner to clean the range/oven. Now none of the burners will light. I need help with a proceedure.
hi is this gas also the oven bottom has 2 vents did the spray get in there
Yes, it's a gas unit. The spray got there too, it appears.
can u raise the top of the stove and check are the pilots lit please
I've been trying to raise the top by simply pulling it up. I've given it a good tug, but I can't get the stove top to raise. Each stove burner has 2 screws. Do I need to remove them?
when u turn the burner on to light it is the pilot gas or a spark type where it clicks
It's a spark-type. It makes the normal clicking noise, but it doesn' spark to ignitet the gas. The gas does flow, though.
so the burners spark and u can smell the gas coming through but wont light correct
Well, the burners click like they are trying to spark, but I'm not sure they are actually sparking. The gas does flow. The burners won't light.
hi ok i just saw a pic of the type of burners on ur stove if the burner caps are secured in position the top burners have nothing to do with the oven burner .the top burners were not touched correct
The top burners were touched. I took a moment to clean the ignitors a bit. I have 1 of them working now (front left) The other 3 not yet. Intersting problem though: when I turn the nob to try to light the front right, gas flows to the front right, but the ignitor clicks for the back left.
hi ok thats what i needed to know ok the ignitors have grounded out due to being cleaned any type of wetness or moisture will cause to spark but not ignite,and as for turning on one and the other sparks they all plug in together to the same ground thats how they work give them an hour or so to dry up the moisture and they will all light up again guaranteed . sir.pressing accept pays me thanks
Ok, all the ignitors are sparking. Two are working now. The other 2 are sparking, but not strong enough to light the gas. I assume they will come around in time (once they dry out). One last question...will the oven also start working (lighting) when it dries out too?
hi the oven has an ignitor looks like this when u turn the thermostat itc should glow orange then with in a minute or 2 light up pressing accept pays me thanks
my father has an appliance repair business for over 30 yrs i have 18 yrs exp


Nationally, housing sales are slowing down (or coming to a halt). Houston, as usual, is another story.
Houston’s housing market still strong
— reported by the Houston Chronicle
Houston’s housing market churned out another record month, while the national market continued to cool.
The median price of a single-family home hit an all-time high of $155,890 in July, an increase of 7.5 percent over a year ago, according to the Houston Association of Realtors. The amount eclipsed the June median price of $155,500 after it was revised downward from $156,000.
This doesn’t tell me why apartments are at such a premium. It does let me know that a house may still be a good investment… I think.

Once again I did not manage to post weekly!..not even monthly!.its been well over 6 months!..I just don't seem to have had the time or made the time?.life is busy and lots going on with some big changes on the way. I started working part time as of 3 weeks ago. I haven't got a routine as yet or fully adjusted to having an extra 2 days a week although I'm sure I will:-)The plan, for now, is to post when I can and not make promises that I can't keep.
I have made a quite a few cards since I last posted as you can imagine. Including finishing the card for my sister's birthday in August!!(sneaky peak in my last post way back in June last year!),my sister in laws birthday, a baby card for twins (I have only ever made one baby card before.)and quite a few others, including HB's birthday,our Wedding Anniversary,Christmas cards! it certainly has been a while.
I'm also in a phase of wanting to try something different; some mixed media and I plan to start some art journaling, I've started small with ATC's.I've made some random ones and some sets of four(three and one for the host) for a few ATC Swaps that I've taken part in recently. I have really enjoyed making these.I have received some amazing mini works of art back as a result.will post some soon when I've finally uploaded the photos from my camera!

A MAJOR upgrade of traffic lights in an area of Taunton will ensure infrastructure is in place to support the recovery of the local economy.
The lights scheme at junctions and pedestrian crossings in Rowbarton is part of Somerset County Council’s £9 million countywide package of work over the next three years to refurbish signal equipment coming to the end of its working life.
The council’s contractor Griffiths is starting work on March 22 to remove old equipment and install new state-of-the-art traffic signals, including improved provision for cyclists and pedestrians at Kingston Road/Greenway Road, Kingston Road/St Andrew’s Road, and Cheddon Road/Priorswood Road. Pedestrian crossings on Kingston Road are also being renewed, and improved.
The existing signals have been in use for about 40 years and are in a state of disrepair and need replacing as soon as possible.
The new signals will be more efficient, more eco-friendly and should improve traffic flow while providing safer access for both cyclists and pedestrians.
The scheme is expected to take about 17 weeks to complete.
The work in Rowbarton will impact on residents, businesses and road users, but the council’s highways team is working closely with the contractor on a detailed traffic management plan.
The plan will include temporary traffic signals and lane closures. There will also be times when road closures are required but these will be kept to a minimum.
“This signal refurbishment is essential as we work to ensure infrastructure is in place to support the recovery of the local economy as we emerge from lockdown,” said Cllr John Woodman, Somerset County Council’s cabinet member for highways and transport.
“The new signals will mean these junctions are more efficient for motorists, and safer for cyclists and pedestrians.
“This is a significant piece of work at very busy junctions and regrettably this will cause some inconvenience, but ultimately it will improve connectivity for all road users. We’d encourage motorists to start planning ahead for when the scheme does commence and perhaps avoid this area whenever possible.”
- All existing traffic signals will be fully refurbished – underground infrastructure which carries cables must be dug up and removed, along with new poles, and updated equipment installed which is user friendly, including for those who are visually impaired.
- Overall this should improve traffic flow in this area of town.
- The new signals and controls are low voltage and eco-friendly in line with Somerset’s Climate Emergency Strategy.
- Kingston Road/Greenway Road – new crossing.
- Kingston Road/St Andrews Road – improved pedestrian crossing and cycling facilities.
- Priorswood Road/Cheddon Road – new crossing, better provision for pedestrians and cyclists.
- There will be wider, improved access to the Rowbarton pelican crossings on Kingston Road.

Premananda gets life sentenceEXPRESS NEWS SERVICE
MADURAI, AUG 20: Controversial Swami Premananda of Premananda Ashram in Viralimalai near Pudukottai was today convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment and a fine of Rs 67.30 lakh imposed for various criminal offences including rape and murder.
The much awaited judgement was delivered by Pudukottai District and Sessions Judge Banumathi in a packed courtroom.
Premananda alias Premkumar alias Ravi was charged of raping 13 inmates, molesting two and murdering Ravi, an engineer, in the ashram. The judge also found six others guilty of the conspiracy to commit the rapes and destroy evidences and awarded life imprisonment to five of them. Premananda appeared unfazed when the judge delivered the verdict and even smiled. He posed for photographs and greeted cameramen while proceeding to the van. ``Truth will ultimately triumph,'' he told mediapersons.
The judge who had conducted 50 hearings said that if Premananda defaulted in paying the fine, he would have to undergo an additional imprisonment for 32 years and nine months. She also sentenced him to one year rigorous imprisonment for cheating innocent inmates of the ashram.
The judge observed that any remission of sentence or amnesty by the Central or state governments would not bind against Premananda and six others as they were convicted for grave offences against women.
Eminent lawyer Ram Jethmalani represented Premananda among the battery of advocates.

Double life sentence for Premananda DH News Service Chennai Aug 20
In a sensational judgment, controversial godman Premananda was today convicted of rape and murder and awarded double life imprisonment and a cumulative fine of Rs.66.4 lakh.
Pudukottai District and Sessions Judge R Banumathi also ruled that the 46-year-old godman should undergo the life sentences consecutively. He should undergo rigorous imprisonment for a further period of 32 years and nine months if he failed to pay the fine, the judge added.
Premananda, a Kandyan Tamil from Sri Lanka who set up an 'ashram` near Tiruchi in the mid-`80s, was found guilty of raping 13 inmates of his ashram and murdering a disciple, Ravi.
The victims were all Sri Lankan Tamils.
Along with Premananda, his chief disciple Kamalananda was also awarded life imprisonment and a fine of Rs.12,500 for abetting the crimes and tampering with evidence. The judge said Kamalananda should undergo a further three years` RI if he failed to pay the fine.
Kamalananda`s wife, Dr Chandradevi, was found guilty of performing abortions on the rape victims and was sentenced to imprisonment for two years and seven months. But, as she had already spent that period as an undertrial, the judge ordered that she be set free upon paying a fine of Rs.30,000.
The judge also awarded life sentence to four other co-accused, all disciples of Premananda. They were - Balendran, Mayilvahanan, Nandakumar and Satish.
While Balendran was fined Rs.10,000, others were ordered to pay Rs.12,000 each. The judge said the fines collected should be used to pay compensation of Rs.5 lakh each to the 13 rape victims.
The judge said the convicted prisoners would not be entitled to any remission considering the heinous nature of the crimes committed.
The judge delivered the verdict in a packed courthall where the godman and other accused were produced. Activists of some women`s organisations raised slogans against the godman when he was brought to the court.
As many as 49 prosecution witnesses and 64 defence witnesses were examined in the case which came to light after one of the victims, Sureshkumari,
escaped from the ashram and exposed the sex scandal in early 1994.
Prominent among the prosecution witnesses was forensic expert Jayaprakash who established the identity of murder victim Ravi from a skull recovered from the ashram.
The prosecution also roped in as witnesses several doctors in Tiruchi and Pudukottai who had attended on the girls raped by Premananda. One of the victims, Aruljothi, became pregnant and a DNA test done in Hyderabad established that Premananda was the culprit.
Noted criminal lawyer Ram Jethmalani appeared for Premananda who was arrested along with eight others in November 1994. Two of the accused later turned approvers.
Premananda later told newsmen that he would appeal against the judgment.
Divyadevi, one of the principal disciples of Premananda, escaped immediatelyafter the scandal came to light and her properties worth Rs.80 lakh wereattached to the court. She is still untraced.
The godman was in a defiantly jovial mood after the judgment, as he smiled at photographers while being taken back to prison, and said: ''Truth will ultimately triumph.`
'Swami` Premananda`s sordid story unfolded in the middle of November 1994, when the girls he had raped came out with startling revelatory interviews to a leading English daily.
The girls had sought shelter with the help of some women activists at 'Udavum Karangal`, a charitable organisation in Chennai.
The interviews created a sensation, and the then AIADMK government, already plagued by a whisper campaign that the disgraced 'hermit` was close to some of the ministers, swung into action within days.
The Crime Branch-CID of the state police raided Premananda`s ashram at Viralimalai near Tiruchirappalli and arrested Premananda and others.
But Divya, a mysterious associate of Premananda, who was known to the ashramites as Divya Mataji, managed to give the slip to the police as she was abroad when the scandal broke out.
Premananda, whose real name was Ravi, settled down in India in the early 1980s after fleeing Sri Lanka as a refugee. With the help of some close friends, he set up the ashram in sylvan environs. Nothing in the ashram`s external appearance suggested the sordid goings-on inside.
DECCAN HERALD Friday, August 22, 1997 Punishment to Premananda must act as deterrent, says judge CHENNAI, Aug 21
Pudukottai District and Sessions Judge R Banumathi, who delivered a trend-setting verdict yesterday by awarding double life imprisonment to fake godman Premananda, convicted for rape and murder, said in her 460- page judgement that she had given the maximum punishment prescribed by the law so that it will act as a deterrent to other such fake swamis.
The judge said the activities of Premananda, who has been found guilty of having raped 13 ashram girls and murdered engineering student Ravi, has shocked judicial conscience. Along with Premananda, six other accused have been found guilty of having abetted the rapes and murder and awarded life imprisonment.
According to details of the judgement now available, the judge has cited the evidence of rationalist Marudhamuthu who had demonstrated in court that ''miracles`` like bringing out lingams from one`s mouth and producing ash were mere tricks. She said the self-styled godman of Sri Lankan origin had secured a large following, including some judges and lawyers in Sri Lanka, besides Westerners by performing such so- called miracles.
The judge has cited the love letters recovered from the ashram near Tiruchi as evidence of the prosecution charge that Premananda was a charlatan and that ashram head Divyadevi, who is absconding, had sexual relations with him as well as with the second accused Kamalananda.
Justifying the imposition of a hefty fine of Rs.66 lakh on Premananda, the judge said that the prosecution has proved that the godman and Divyadevi had deposited Rs.80 lakh in various banks and that the Income-Tax department had served notice for recovery of tax amounting to Rs.1.5 lakh.
Citing a Supreme Court judgment, the judge said that hefty fines were imposed on Premananda and six other accused so that the victims, all young girls who had suffered physical and mental trauma, could be compensated. The judge has ordered that each of the victim should be paid Rs 5 lakh as compensation from the fines.
Meanwhile, Kamalananda`s wife, Chandradevi, who has been ordered to be released upon payment of a fine of Rs.30,000 as she has already served as an undertrial the sentence of two years and seven months awarded for terminating the pregnancies of affected girls, today paid the fine and got discharged.

In a shocking incident, a 35-year-old #securityguard, #PradeepTomar, was mercilessly tortured and beaten to death by cops at Hapur’s #policestation in #UttarPradesh on Sunday, October 13.
Three #policemen, including SHO of Philkua police station, have been suspended for the harrowing #crime.
Tomar was forcefully summoned to #Chijarsi outpost for interrogation in a #murder case. Tomar was accompanied by his 10-year-old son to the outpost who claims that his father was brutally tortured during the interrogation. “At least 10 policemen were constantly beating up my father. They gave him electric shocks and also stabbed him using screwdrivers. All this while, they were also consuming alcohol and denied water to my father who was crying in pain.” he said.
The family members of the deceased and locals have been on an indefinite strike demanding #FIR against the accused policemen. “Even if he was a criminal, how can one justify such brutality? This is cold-blooded murder and the accused cops should be punished for what they did,” the family said.

Review: Overton Beach, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada
BAD NEWS: The Overton Beach Marina, including the RV Campground, is closing. The National Park Service decided that due to low water levels, they’re going to move the marina and boat slips to Callville and Temple Bar. They decided not to renew the contract with the concessionaire, which expired December 31, 2006. The people who live in the mobile home park have been told they have to find a new location by March 31, 2007. The store, showers, laundry, and rv park will also be closed by that date as well.
Address: HC 30 Box 70, Overton, NV 89040
Website used to be http://www.overtonbeachmarina.net, but now that website is down, probably because of the pending closure.
To make a reservation: call the above number
Rates: $21/night. Weekly and monthly rates used to be available; call to see what’s planned up to March 31.
General Information: This campground has been a delight, sitting on a small bluff overlooking the Overton Arm of Lake Mead, with expansive views across the lake to the Virgin Mountains.
# Sites: 40
# Sites with hookups: 40
Dump station: yes
Size of sites: long enough for all big rigs; wide enough to park next to your rig if you want.
Office hours: Daily, 7 am to 5 pm.

On site staff? Friendly, helpful? : The staff at the store are wonderful. They are all devastatd about the pending move, but will continue to be professional and helpful. The woman who checked us in could have charged us 11 days at the daily rate, but surprised us by giving us a weekly rate + 4 single days, which was considerably cheaper.
Noise info: We were there in winter, so there were only fishing boat sounds during the day. The only sounds you hear at night are the coyotes and the occasional braying of a Lake Mead burro.

Making space to hear, to know, and to care for people “not in our tribe” may be one of the most urgent and transformative things we could be doing. In this bitterly divided era in American society and politics, may we who seek to be Jesus-followers live out our vocation as reconcilers and peacemakers with love and justice. A Language of Healing could be just the right practical help for our next steps at this important time.
President, Fuller Theological Seminary
Are you tired of all the animosity and vitriol that fill our society at every mention of politics or religion dividing us into two hostile camps on every possible side?

NEW ORLEANS — As city leaders gathered Monday to honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, they all agreed on this; there is a problem with crime in the city of New Orleans and it’s going to take a unified approach to solve.
Newly-elected Councilman Oliver Thomas stressed that those in power need to come together to do what right for the people vs. their own political gain saying, “My father told me a long time ago once you become a leader your personal feelings don’t mean a damn thing.”
Thomas who also serves as city’s chair of the criminal justice committee was not mincing words addressing the rise in crime in the City of New Orleans
“This isn’t the time for feelings to be hurt or political one upmanship or for folk to worry about what they going to be next,” he said. “We can break it down in syllables if you don’t understand it: co-op-er-ation”
City Council President Helena Moreno tweeted about a special council meeting over the weekend addressing a soon coming meeting to discuss violence in the city.
She says it’s important to pull together city leaders to re-work our local justice system.
“The answer is not the lock everyone up for every minor little thing. That is not effective that is not going to work, but at the same time, those who are committing very violent and egregious crimes in our community need to be held accountable,” she said.
Figuring out how to address this issue on the back end will be imperative, but according to Thomas, he questions why something can’t be done on the front end to prevent the crime in the first place.
“This isn’t rocket science,” he said. “You don’t need [a] 10-points plan to fight crime. If the red, green, and yellow and purple dots say crime is over here, where do you send your crime fighters.”
To which New Orleans Police Chief Shaun Ferguson responded, “that’s what we do. That is how we operate.”
Ferguson says he agrees a cooperative approach is needed to solve the city’s current crime wave. But, he says there are systemic issues at play that also need to be addressed when talking about crime in the City of New Orleans.
“We need to look at the underlying issues that triggers some of these issues like injustices in educational opportunity and injustices in economic opportunity," he said. "Some of these things that breed this criminal element. That’s what we have to look at before we as a police department are dealing with the back end of all of this that is a result of what was not addressed on the front end.”


When Allahpundit wrote about the 2nd presidential debate earlier today it already seemed doubtful it was going to happen. The Debate Commission had called for a virtual debate and Trump was pushing for an in-person debate instead. After all the back and forth today the bottom line is that it’s not going to happen:
“On October 8, CPD announced that for the health and safety of all involved, the second presidential debate, scheduled for October 15 in Miami, would be conducted virtually,” the CPD said in a statement, officially announcing the cancellation of the debate. “Subsequently, the campaigns of the two candidates who qualified for participation in the debate made a series of statements concerning their respective positions regarding their willingness to participate in a virtual debate on October 15, and each now has announced alternate plans for that date.”
“It is now apparent there will be no debate on October 15, and the CPD will turn its attention to preparations for the final presidential debate scheduled for October 22,” the CPD added.
The Biden camp quickly put out a statement saying President Trump was trying to duck questions from voters:
