5 startup lessons from great pet stores
Aron Solomon
Jul 26, 2014 in
A great pet store anticipates what their clients want and always delivers (literally and figuratively). Here are 5 really simple lessons from great pet stores that all startups should adopt.
1. Be genuinely excited about all of your customers.
So let me begin by letting you all know that I live in a large city (Toronto) and we have a 1-year-old pup (that's her in the picture). We've been going to two amazing local dog boutiques since she was 7 weeks old, both of which are walking distance from our home.
Both stores have known and remembered her name since we first brought her in. When she comes to the store, they always greet her and are truly happy to see her. Why? She's a very nice dog and all of the people who work in these two dog shops genuinely love dogs.
Does everyone in your startup genuinely love what they do? Do they love your startup and do they love your clients? The amazing Marcus Lemonis of CNBC's The Profit (by far the most genuine show of the reality TV/business genre and by far my personal favorite) very often asks employees of businesses he's considering investing in "Do you love it? What do you love?" It's a critically important issue.
2. Treat your best customers like the VIPs they truly are.
Given the fact that we've been frequenting these two shops for all of our dog needs (including grooming and general advice, as this is a breed I've never had even though I've had 7 dogs in my life before her) they know what we like and want.
For example, my dog loves chewing on antlers. Yes - actual antlers (relax - they're "naturally-shed" - we're not yanking the rack off a local moose). I didn't even know this was a thing until her. Both of the shops in issue sell real antlers and one of them let me know when they received an entire rack (yes - the actual full rack of antlers from an antler-based animal). It was not only very cool seeing the whole antler rack, they cut off pieces that we wanted. The end result for the shop was that instead of buying one antler piece, as we do when she chews her way through what she has at home, we bought several pieces at the same time. A win-win and it was really lovely that they let us know.
If your startup has early adopters, customers who have been loyal and vocal on social media, and those who are influencers in any particular niche, find out what they like and give it to them in a way that makes them feel special. If massive credit card corporations can pull this off with their membership campaigns, so can your startup. The trick here is listening to find out what they want then actually remembering. Customers love it when you're proactive. Show them, in a non-cloying and totally genuine way that you appreciate and deeply value their custom.
3. Make your customers' lives easier.
Remember that I mentioned that both of the pet stores in issue are walking distance from where we live. That means that we actually walk to them, almost always with our dog. Consequently, the last thing in the world that I want to do when we visit is carry home a 40 pound bag of dog food. Being urban dog stores, they both deliver. Again, you'd think that every store would do this. They don't. One of the shops sends me a really unobtrusive email when they guess that we're running low on food. They bring it the same day or next, never a delivery charge. This leads right in to the next point.
4. Anticipate the needs of your customers.
It's one think to be proactive and courteous to make the loves of your customers easier, it's another level of excellence to anticipate what they want. Many startups think they've found the pot of gold when they achieve some reasonable product-market fit but fail to realize that the minute they achieve this, it's in the past. Fill the needs of your customers today while anticipating what they'll want tomorrow. That's absolutely a process of trial and error, but done well it lets your customers know that you're looking forward, are interested in how their tastes will develop and evolve (and that you're interested in playing an actually helpful role in this process), and (back to point number 1) that you truly care.
5. Find a way to be different.
One of my dog stores has an amazing selection of bespoke dog collars. While I'm not in the market for a handcrafted $100+ collar, they're very cool, elegant, and beautifully made things. The other store has a great selection of rain and snow gear for dogs. Having a breed that (especially when she's tightly shorn) could use a little extra warmth while chasing her colleagues on a frozen lake, she had a Canada Pooch (really) faux fur vest last winter. It had a hood and she looked adorable. She outgrew it so we gave it away and will absolutely replace it when it gets cold.
Become experts in something your competitors don't do. Find that one thing to differentiate yourself from the pack. Do this thing exceedingly well and communicate to your customers how and why you do it. Have them carry forward your message to attract new customers.

Whether you're creating the perfect smoky eye or tweezing stray hairs to shape your brows, having a clear view of what you're doing is important when you're getting ready in the morning. That's why a high-quality makeup mirror is such a good investment. For many, a wall-mounted makeup mirror is the best option because it's easy to get the perfect angle.
Some wall-mounted makeup mirrors have built-in lights to enhance your view. Some have two sides so you can choose between different magnifications. How do you choose? We're here to help. Read on to learn about the options available, and if you need specific product recommendations, we've got those, too.
Fixed vs. adjustable
Some wall-mounted makeup mirrors sit flush to the wall and cannot be moved at all. These tend to be the largest options, but as a tradeoff, you don't have any adjustability. If you want a mirror that offers a large, broad view of your face and don't mind leaning in when you need a closer look, this type of mirror could be for you.
Adjustable wall-mounted mirrors attach to a wall-mounted arm that may be hinged, telescopic, or swinging. You can adjust the angle of the mirror and bring it closer to your face when necessary. These mirrors offer the most versatility and are ideal for tasks like applying eyeliner or false eyelashes.
Single-sided vs. double-sided
Fixed wall-mounted makeup mirrors are obviously all one-sided. However, many adjustable wall-mounted mirrors have two sides, each with a mirror offering a different magnification. A double-sided makeup mirror is ideal if you want the ability to see in greater detail (for tweezing and such), but you also want the option of a wider view.
A wall-mounted makeup mirror with an adjustable arm can fold up against the wall. This is convenient because you can tuck it away when not in use.
Some fixed makeup mirrors measure as much as 79 inches tall. However, the majority are 24 to 36 inches tall.
Adjustable wall-mounted makeup mirrors are often smaller. Many are round or oval in shape. Opt for an adjustable mirror that's at least eight inches in diameter to make sure you can see your entire face.
Wall-mounted makeup mirrors come in a variety of shapes. Shape doesn't necessarily affect performance, but you may prefer one shape over another based on the décor of your bathroom or vanity.
Fixed wall-mounted mirrors are often cut in the classical rectangular or square shape. Adjustable wall-mounted mirrors, on the other hand, come in rectangular, square, round, and oval shapes. Some homeowners find round and oval mirrors more attractive and modern. The fact that a round or oval mirror mimic the shape of the face appeals to some, too.
Most wall-mounted makeup mirrors have a frame to give them a finished look. Here are some common finishes.
A mirror's magnification affects how well you're able to see small details, like that one stray hair in your brow that needs to be plucked. A mirror without any magnification works well for broader tasks like putting on foundation, but if you want to be able to see a little closer, a mirror with a magnification of 3X to 5X may be your best bet. (If your vision is impaired, however, you may prefer a mirror with 10X or even 15X magnification.
Keep in mind that the stronger a mirror's magnification is, the farther away you'll have to stand to prevent distortion.
If you're not sure what magnification suits your needs, consider a double-sided mirror with two different magnifications. One side usually provides no or low magnification, while the other typically features 5X to 15X magnification.
Some wall-mounted makeup mirrors feature built-in lighting to make it easier to see what you're doing. Lighting is particularly important if you plan to mount your mirror in a bathroom without windows.
Some wall-mounted makeup mirrors feature a series of bulbs that light the frame. Others have interior bulbs that light up the exterior frame. For the most natural, energy-efficient option, choose a mirror with LED lighting.
Pay attention to how the light is powered, too: some mirrors must be plugged into an outlet, while others run on batteries.
Fog resistance
A makeup mirror mounted in the bathroom can easily get fogged up after you take a shower. Avoid this problem by opting for a fog-resistant mirror, which features a hydrophobic coating on the glass to prevent water from sticking to it.
A makeup mirror with a high magnification is ideal for tasks that require precision, such as tweezing, shaving, and applying eyeliner or mascara.
Wall-mounted makeup mirrors vary in price based on their size, number of sides, and other special features. You could spend as little as $25 and as much as $500 for a wall-mounted makeup mirror.
The most affordable choices are small and adjustable with a mirror on just one side and no built-in lights. For $25 to $75, you can find some quality smaller mirrors.
An adjustable mirror with two sides and built-in lighting costs more — typically between $75 and $200. However, the extra expense might make your morning grooming routine easier.
The priciest wall-mounted makeup mirrors are usually large or extra-large fixed models with built-in lighting. They range from $200 to $500 depending on size and are ideal if you need a mirror for your vanity area.
Some wall-mounted makeup mirrors with built-in lighting can be hardwired into your home's electrical system. Consider this option if you don't want to have to plug the mirror into an outlet each time you use it.
With so many wall-mounted makeup mirrors on the market, there's bound to be a model that fits your needs perfectly. The WENKO Wall-Mounted Telescopic Cosmetic Mirror is an ideal option if you prefer a basic mirror for applying makeup and other grooming tasks. It features 3X magnification and a telescopic swiveling arm that allows you to arrange the mirror exactly as you like it.
We also love the Smedbo Wall-Mounted Makeup Mirror because it offers two magnifications, normal and 7X, for maximum versatility. What's more, its attractive polished chrome finish works well with a variety of decor styles.
Q. Are wall-mounted makeup mirrors difficult to install?
A. Installing a wall-mounted makeup mirror is a fairly easy DIY project. The mirror should come with all the mounting hardware you need, including screws. You'll need to locate a stud in the wall and drill pilot holes for the screws. With the holes pre-drilled, you then screw in the mounting plate and attach the mirror to the plate.
Q. Do wall-mounted makeup mirrors with built-in lighting include bulbs?
A. Lighted wall-mounted mirrors usually come with the bulbs needed to illuminate the mirror. However, you may eventually need to replace burnt-out bulbs. Most manufacturers sell replacement bulbs.
Q. Do wall-mounted makeup mirrors include a warranty?
A. Some wall-mounted makeup mirrors include one or two years of warranty protection. However, it's usually only lighted models that offer a warranty. Mirrors without lighting don't often come with coverage.

Another Appeal!
I'm not sure how I feel about this. I think its good that it was the courts rather than the congress who appealed the decision but I think it is kind of silly that they are going to ad another court decision to the already long list. I think the fact that the courts are reconsidering shows how great this country is. I don't agree with the decision, I think at this point we should just let Schiavo pass peacfully with forcing a feeding tube back into her body; but nonetheless, I'm glad to see that the power of protest is still efective.
But then again, the proteters are in a very small minority and are using rather sick forms of protest (taping their children's mouth closed). I don't know abotu this.
It doesn't really matter because there is no way the 11th Circut Court will overturn the decision. I don't think it's fair to give the Schindlers and all those crazy pro-life people false hope.
Ahhhhh! I'm just sick of this.
openthread: what do you think about the decision to hear the Schiavo case AGAIN!?
4 Comments »
I think it is appropriate. After all, the only reason Congress acted to begin with was to get federal court to give the matter a fair hearing in the first place, and the first Federal Judge that simply blew it off should be removed from the bench. I find it ironic that you call the taping of the kids mouths shut a sick form of protest, but have no issues with Michael essentially doing the same thing to Terri until she dies. I will have to say, allowing the autopsy to take place has eased a one of my major concerns, and had Michael not been such a total scumbag by deserting his "wife" and whoring around, I might have been much more favorable to his position. After all, it is hard for me to place him on the moral high ground, when he so clearly shows himself to be adulterous scum.

Well actually the Schindlers were the ones who encouraged him to get on with his life, and I don't think you can blame him for wanting to sit by his disabled wifes side for the rest of his life. However you still cannot say that he is a devoted husband when he has kids with another woman.

I wanted to follow up with some info on why bush signed the Texas law. Here is a lint to a site that explains it. And, Yes, I know they are VERY biased, but it will at least give you a frame of reference.
Comment by ÐÇRøçk§ | March 30, 2005 |
I also want to correct a mistake I made in saying the Senate Dems were against this:
/// Sunday afternoon, the Senate gave unanimous consent to the measure. There are 44 Democrats in the Senate. Iowa Democratic Senator Tom Harkin stood tall in Terri's defense.
Moreover, 100 House Democrats voted early Monday morning. Nearly half – 47 — joined 156 House Republican colleagues to pass the bill overwhelmingly, 203-58. Jesse Jackson, Jr., was among the Democrats who voted aye. ///
My mistake, and I hope this goes a ways towards correcting it.

Holidays are coming and you will have a lot of parties and trips to go to. Of course, you would need some skincare products to support your impending activities and Tu'el Skincare is here to help.
For those with oily skin types, the Porestar Glow Kit: Combo ($95) promises to help restore the skin's balance and absorb excess oil. Coming with a simple pouch, you can bring these products to the office to cleanse and moisturize the skin before applying heavy makeup needed for an evening event or a party. The kit includes a full-sized Balancing Act Deep Pore Cleansing System, Balancing Act Essential Oil Concentrate, Daily Protect Oil Free SPF 30, and deluxe samples of the Power Scrub and Clear It. This will also be great to bring when you staying over someone else's house if you know what I mean. 😉
The Deep Pore Cleansing Oil is a bit thick for my preference but works well when doing a first cleanse after removing long-wearing and full coverage makeup. The Cleansing Oil, which promises to work with the skin's natural oils to dissolve dirt, pollutants, and makeup trapped inside your pores, has to be removed with a warm cloth instead of water, though. I also tried using this to remove makeup and it was able to melt my foundation but it would need a little more massaging in order to remove eyebrow makeup and mascara.
I especially like the Deep Pore Herbal Toner as it contains lemon extract to reduce and control excess oil, vitamin c to brighten and tone, and sage extract to protect the skin from free radicals and deter bacteria. Based on its name, I expected the toner to be white, light, and watery. Imagine my surprise that dark brown isn't the color of the bottle but the color of the actual product. It has a pump applicator and it let out a viscous, heavy looking toner. Upon application, the sweet sugary smells permeate the air and creates a relaxing ambiance. The toner feels light on the skin and sinks in super quickly into the skin, leaving the skin refreshed and satiny.

Riot Squads, Police Vans, Russian and Polish football fans. The air before match between Russia and Poland was full of anticipation of some rather major violence and aggravation. Before the match the Russians had planned to march to the Narodowa Stadium in celebration of the Russian national day, this march was halted, though there were still a number of people and there was some violence, as you would probably expect whenever anyones passions and anticipation gets stoked up. There were a few crowds, people throwing stuff occasionally and a lot of (harmless) 'explosions' (or just loud bangs really). The police did well and controlled the situation and during all of the time we spent in the city centre that night we never really felt in danger or under threat. The situation was dealt with extremely well in my opinion, and the city should be proud of how it handled itself (largely).
The result? A rather democratic 1-1.

Tea 104, the 'free sample' tea from the department store mentioned in last post, 'Silvery Pearl Mountain'.
22nd, A slow steady day, with just a little wander around the Warshauer Street / East Side Gallery area, enjoying the sunshine and relaxing. Nothing much remarkable to talk about really.
23rd and 24th were spent working on a few projects and things like that, not even a photo to show from these two days I'm afraid
25th, and just some more walking around, back to Gorlitzer park and around that area. Still relaxed and nothing new to report.
26th, Today I decided to head to Treptower park. I had read at the Russian monument a week or so before about the graves and memorial that had been built there in memory of the lost Russian soldiers, as well as housing mass graves of over 7000 soldiers. The walk there was along the canal and was very pretty and sunny. The park is huge, a big open space of grass then you wander around or through this and 'come across' the memorial. I say 'come across', you do sort of find it, as it is surrounded by tall trees and in some ways hidden. But the place is absolutely huge. A massive area of almost perfect symmetry. At one end is a statue of 'Mother Russia', where you enter the memorial from. Then you come across two pylons designed to look like lowered flags, with two kneeling soldiers, one on each flag. Then you enter the burial area properly, with 5 areas of grass, beneath which lie the graves. On either side are 8 white plinths with varying images of war carved into them and quotes of Stalin written on them, Russian versions on one side, German translations on the other. Then at the far end is the main piece. A huge structure of a man holding a child and a huge sword, standing over a destroyed swastika. The sculpture is amazing, it is so huge, I'm not sure I've ever seen such a tall modern statue! You can walk up the staircase to the feet of the sculpture and, although there is a locked gate, inside there is a small circular room with a mosaic mural to the soldiers.
27th, A day before the deadline to the residency program so I just worked and a little walking around. Not much to talk about, just food shopping etc etc.
28th, The sunshine was so hot and wonderful today. I decided to walk back to Karl Marx Allee and to the fountain, which is basically a roundabout. I sat on the edge of the fountain for a while soaking up some sunshine and dipping my feet in the water, which was surprisingly cold! But very refreshing on my well walked and tired feet! That evening I went out for a walk in the hot night air. It was so warm even in the dark and there were people out and about everywhere! I took some photos, one of which made a petrol station look like something from the film TRON (one of my favourites), complete accident but I like it!
29th, Today, my penultimate day in Berlin, I decided I wanted to go and find the graveyard that contains the lying places of the Grimm brothers. This is called the St. Matthäus Kirchhof Cemetery, in Schoneberg. It is quite an impressive place, with some old, and some very rich people buried there. The graves of the Grimm brothers (there are four there altogether, though the ones of the fairy tales are Jacob and Wilhelm) are actually very subtle and not as in your face and imposing as you might imagine they could be. I was pleasantly surprised by this. I wandered around and sat in the peace and quite there for a while, it was a Sunday and there were quite a few people there tending to the graves and making them neat and tidy, it seems to be something that is taken quite seriously, after visiting a couple of other cemetery's in Berlin, which all seem to be very well looked after.
After that I walked back to the flat and had a late lunch before heading back out to Hasenheide Volkspark. I'd been here before and decided to pop back in order to take pictures of the animals they have in this petting / rescued animal area. There are camels, llamas, emus, storks, deer. All sorts. Many of them look a bit shabby and there's a pair of Australian Black Swans that look terribly sad, but I think, I hope, they are rescued and basically have to be there. One of the camels looks like it has a bad case of mange!
30th, The day arrived to move out of the apartment I had rented for the last two weeks. So I spent the day making sure it was all clean and tidy, taking the rubbish out etc etc. Then I just went and sat by the river, to write and wait for the guy to arrive back so we could swap keys and deposits. That all went off without a hitch, the guy even gave me some Bulgarian tea to add to my collection! Excellent! Shame to leave such a great little flat, but it is definitely time to move on.
1st and a delightful 5:30am wake up followed by a trip across town to get to the bus station, to get my 7:30am bus to Cologne! The bus trip itself was totally fine, and actually arrived a bit early which was great. And by the time we had made all the stops there were only two of us left on the entire coach! Like a huge limousine! I met Regina at the bus station and we headed to her apartment, had a drink then went for a walk in the evening sunshine with the dog! The sun was warm and the city feels peaceful and calm, a stark contrast to Berlin, and a welcome one! We went for some Thai food that evening and had a cocktail then headed home and baked scones at midnight, as Regina returns to work after her sabbatical tomorrow, so needs to take exciting cakes! They are vegan orange scones and they taste great! Scones are amazing!!!
That's it, I am finally, and at long last up to date!! I do apologise again for the huge break in posting, but the distinct lack of internet in Berlin, as well as trying to work towards the summer project has been a big issue in terms of updating.

Tea 52: Not tea, Hot Chocolate with Rum! Original Wedel Chocolate Cafe, Warsaw
So, I know that the Brits are famous for talking about the weather, but please forgive me this once.. Three seasons in as many days!??!?! Today was grey, drizzly and dull. The sunshine of yesterday was long forgotten and positively autumnal weather has taken over! The day before yesterday was winter, yesterday was summer, and today autumn, when is spring going to arrive!?!?!??!
Ehem….moving on… Because of today's greyness I didn't really have much incentive to leave the apartment, so I stayed in and did some work for a few hours and then at around 2:30 I left, I ate lunch in the flat in an attempt to reduce my costs and then caught the tram into town. I got of a stop or two before Centralny today and walked East, past various forms of architecture, new, old, decaying and decayed and found my way to Marszalkowska, the main traffic street in this part of the city. I just sort of wandered for a while, the drizzle hitting my face despite the umbrella. Eventually I found my way to Raster, one of the more independent and contemporary galleries in town. It is hidden a little way along Wspolna Street, number 63. They are currently showing a piece by Michał Budny called Zywica. He had spent some time installing the piece, playing with different compositions and designs of the space and has landed with a superbly minimal and interesting work. Sheets of polythene hang silently from the walls, a plastic covered square piece sits above the lintel like a clock, the noisy door opening and closing with a bang and screech. It was a work I couldn't quite get hold of to begin with, I think because I have seen so many noisy and chaotic pieces lately, but I spent some time in the work and it began to evolve, and the atmosphere developed over time, people entering and leaving the space, the receptionists light keyboard tapping, the temperature.
After some time in the space I left and went back into the grey, drizzly day. The space seemed to reflect the grey, muffled silences that the drizzle creates in the city. I walked for a while back north east, towards the palm tree and the old town. After more little derives along streets and window shopping I headed to Zacheta, the contemporary art gallery for another attempt at getting in for the free thursdays (last week the gallery was shut). This week I did manage to get in, but only to see the new exhibition '7 Rooms', by Rafał Milach. This is photography and stories of Russians born during the USSR period and their opinions and experiences comparing then to now. The show is fairly documentary, and does exactly what it says on the tin. The photographs are varied and some do have a great deal of beauty in them. The rest of the gallery would seem to still be shut. I presume they have a permanent collection, but there is a cordon up across the staircase and beady-eyed guards making sure no one makes it up. There is basically no information to say what exactly is going on though, so I can't say when or even if the permanent collection will be back on show…
That done I decided I needed a sit down, I thought there might have been a cafe in the gallery but alas there is not. So I headed for the old town, walked past a cafe that looked OK but carried on in the hopes of a cozier looking place, but this never happened, so I came around in a loop and went back to the first place I had spotted. I took a seat and ordered a hot ginger, lemon and honey drink and sat and wrote on the back of a press release, trying to figure out the next step of my journey. A little while later, at around 6:45 I met up with Marta and we wandered to yet another part of Warsaw that I had still not discovered. This is the old Jewish district. There is one street that still has some of the old buildings that date back to before the war, and are still potted with bullet holes and some still have their old shop signs. The street, which is now ghostly and silent was once the bustling heart of the district and is now in ruins. The buildings had been left as some sort of document of the past, and also because of anyones reluctance to renovate, it seem that now there is some kind of work going on, one side of the street is blocked off by steel fencing and there is a crane and building materials dotted about. This place is also where they apparantly filmed The Pianist, the film about a Jewish man who managed to evade capture by hiding out in the Warsaw Ghetto. We went into a little cafe that sits on the end of one of the buildings, somehow managing to survive in the crumbling tenement block. Called Cafe Prozna (on Prozna street), this is a nice little place with wooden tables and chairs, though very modern in style. We ate some food, Marta had a sorrel soup whilst I had a tasty quiche with salad. I enjoyed the food though Marta wasn't very impressed with her soup.
We then went for a walk in the dark, but multicoloured city lights, ending up in the original Wedel chocolate cafe. The walls are decorated with paintings and old photos, the building itself is capped with a big illuminated Wedel sign, so it is pretty hard to miss. I decided that it was dark enough and cold enough to justify having a hot chocolate with rum, whilst Marta had the traditional chocolate. She has lived in Warsaw for basically two years and this was her first time here!!! CRAZY! It is a nice little place, and the chocolate is really great. There was a very good helping of rum in mine and it did the perfect job, chocolate high with a rum filled edge… We sat there for a while chatting and talking about what Marta will do now she has resigned from her job and then we decided to walk around the city some more.
The drizzle had abated a little and we walked back towards Nowy Swiat. Then further East to outside of the Chopin Museum (today was his birthday and there are various things happening, many that seem to involve carrying around Polish flags…) The building is all lit up at night, like most of the famous and big buildings in the city. From there we walked across a footbridge and down a staircase and then down onto Dobra Street where we walked South towards the railway and tram bridge (Poniatowski Bridge), then along the side of this bridge, up the staircase and back into the city centre. We caught a tram home and got in around 11pm.

Tea 44: Dark Hot Chocolate, Wedel Cafe, Warsaw.
Ok, Ok! Sorry, but Hot Chocolate over takes tea today, even though I promised you all a review of the Pu Erh Chocolate Cake tea. Apologies… Not really, never apologise about hot chocolate!
Today was a huge day of walking, I've no idea of how far I walked, but it was FAR! I left the flat, which is in the south of the city and wanted to head to this graveyard I had read about, and Evangelical place, in the North West of the city. This walk took me about an hour or so I think. Walking along the wide Woloska Street. Glass fronted buildings mixed in with unfinished constructions, mechanics, petrol stations. Trams buzzing up and down and cars hurtling past, the gentle rain fall melting the piles of snow into huge puddles, forcing you to walk in a zigzag up the street. I eventually reached a little park 'Pole Mokotowskie', wandered around the icy patches and the puddles, a few people were walking their dogs, some taking their lives in their hands cycling over the ice. I walked through and found myself by a huge main road. Cars rushing past and the spray from the rain and melting snow going everywhere. I crossed the road and went through a little area of houses and woodland, a bit like some bits of Brighton in some way. The area is called Filtry and seems quite pretty and a bit artsy in places. finding my way through the small streets I got back onto another main road, Towarowa, this was a long long road, with loads of traffic and more mixed up buildings of various ages and uses. The low clouds obscuring the tops of various sky scrapers that dominate the sky line, the hazy rain fall softening the traffic noise and making everything seem grey and dark.
Eventually I made it to the graveyard. Although the first few gates I tried were locked, I almost gave up, thinking I had wasted my time walking all that way, but then I found the proper main entrance. The graves and tombs in this place are really crazy, so many of them squeezed into such a small place, but so many of them being huge structures. The amount of money and design that must have been poured into these things is totally unimaginable, it made me think that maybe whoever got buried there must of just left their fortune to their own grave! One tomb, which was just for one person, not even a family tomb like many, could have easily house a family of four! There is a great mixture though, some being very dour and sad with skulls and crossbones or weeping angels, others more unique and celebratory, a stone carved loosely into the image of a man and woman kissing, a great blue wave and a simple dry stone cave. I wandered for another 45 minutes or so; weaving in and out of the graves, gawking at the sheer expenditure in the place, something I find pretty incomprehensible: except the case for the potential of it all being the dead party's last laugh.
Walking back East towards the town centre, along Zyntia and Nowolipie, then South onto Al. Jana Pawła II, I found a largish food market called Hala Mirowska. Fruit, veg, chicken, sausage, cake, all you could ever really want I suppose, if you looked hard enough. There were some great characters in there, dour faced women hunched over cauliflowers, merry butchers whistling and having a little dance whilst wielding their hatchet over chunks of meat.
Back onto Al. Jana Pawła II and I came across a small gallery called Galleria XX1. It was nice to be a little independent art space again, it feels like a while since I have seen something fresh and new. The show has various red and black constructions floating about in the space, one wall is covered by a huge black and white print of an old fighter plane wing, with more of the strange objects superimposed onto the image. There is another small space in the back of the gallery, which had an object installation, tall, human-scale grey structures. Looking something like a small, metallic henge. I couldn't really figure out what they were made of, but metal and construction foam seemed to be involved. Back out onto the street again I decided I wanted to warm up a bit with a drink. So I headed to the Wedel cafe in the dreaded shopping centre. One more thing to add to the good reasons for their existence, the other being free use of the toilets…
I ordered the dark hot chocolate, Gorzka (meaning exactly that). The chocolate was rich and bitter, really great. You have to drink it using the little spoon provided unless you want to get you face covered in rapidly solidifying chocolate… It was pretty good, not too cheap, but worth it! Warmed up and a small chocolate high beginning in my cheeks I wandered around a little more. Then I walked back to Mokotowska, the area Marta works and met her after she had finished work.
We went for some food in a 'Milk bar', the place most Polish will go to eat, traditionally frequented by the poor or homeless these places are dotted throughout the city and are going through something of a renaissance. Called Bambino Bar, on Krucza Street, the food is good value, satisfying and traditional. We ordered from a little man behind a screen who handed us our receipt which we then handed to a woman through a kitchen hatch, who takes it and a little while later passes our food to us through the same hatch. We sat with our food and ate it up. I had barley 'grits', what the British would call 'Pearls' (to make it sound more appetizing and to charge more for it probably), a piece of broccoli (basically half of one 'bulb[?]'), and some Pierogi Ruski (the Russian variety stuffed with cottage cheese and potato). These pierogi were MUCH better than the ones we had from the little touristy place in the old town. I would recommend going to a Milk Bar over that place any day.
We left the bar and then got on a old tram from the 60's back home. But first via the post office, Marta had finally tracked down her parcel, which turns out to be a Holga Camera, she is very excited about getting it up and running, but first she needs to get batteries for the flash to work! We were going to go back into town to see the city in the darkness, but I've totally tired myself out!

Each American taxpayer is allowed a lifetime amount of gifts before he owes gift tax. For 2019, the lifetime amount is $11.4M.
Some gifts don't count against that lifetime allowance. Those gifts are important. That's because the portion of the lifetime allowance that is not used against gifts can be used against the value of the assets you leave when you die. If you use up the allowance, your estate is more likely to owe a hefty federal estate tax.
$11.4M is historically high. Congress can, and does, move that floor around. We don't know what the allowance will be when we die. As context, the proposal from the Democrats back in 2016 was for a $3.5M allowance.
So, while burning off some of the allowance can actually be good planning, you want to take advantage of opportunities to preserve the allowance where you can.
A taxpayer can make gifts of up to $15,000 for 2019 to any one person in a year without hitting that allowance.
For gifts to 529 plans, a special rule lets you use up 5 years of the $15,000 all at once if you so choose. That way, a mom and dad can together fund a 529 plan for up to $150,000 and neither of them will hit their allowance.
Note: each parent will have used up five years of annual allowances, however. So if in the following year you buy your kid a pony, the entire cost of the pony will count toward your allowance.
Questions? Talk to us. John Schachter + Associates can help you learn more about what sorts of expenditures will hit your allowance, and help you file a gift tax return – required if you want five-year frontloading for 529 plan gifts.

Safety Training
The Safety Organizational structure has seen major changes in 2018. The department grew from five safety inspectors to 22 safety inspectors. The title of 'Safety Inspectors' also changed to 'Safety Officers' highlighting the focus on safety as a means to assisting and helping ensure a safe and healthy workplace. A competency matrix has been developed for 22 roles against 28 key HSE skills, and competency gaps have been identified for those 22 roles, as well as the required training to bridge these gaps. The company will build on the HSE competency matrix to include all roles at Qatar Steel in the future.Qatar Steel's Life-Saving Rules were designed to include 11 rules in total. In Q1 of 2018, Qatar Steel rolled out an intensive communication campaign to spread awareness of the 11 Life-Saving Rules. Communication in the form of banners, outdoor stands and handouts were developed in 4 different languages taking into consideration the organizations diverse workforce. Upon completion of the awareness raising campaign, a Life-Saving Rules committee was established to process any occurrences of violations of the Rules.Various safety training interventions were initiated ranging from Working at Heights, Confined Space Entry and Rescue, LOTO, HIRA and Crane Operation among others.
Lock-Out and Tag-Out
Qatar Steel introduced a positive isolation system named Lock- Out and Tag-Out, which replaced the previous Red Flag system used. COTO is designed to strengthen and safeguard maintenance jobs. Despite initial technical challenges, a decision was made by leadership to implement the system, placing employees' well-being and safety at the forefront.
Permit to Work
Qatar Steel upgraded its permit to work system to take it from a paperwork exercise to an impactful system ensuring that work is recorded and conducted in a safe, coordinated and consistent manner. This was done by making site risk assessment essential for the start of
work as well as ensuring that both the issuing and executing agency are involved in site verification before and after the work is done. Moreover, execution supervision is required at all times in the new system to ensure work is executed in a safe manner and process
steps are complied with. The next step in improving our PTW system is to implement an Electronic PTW system which is currently being considered for implementation.
Risk Assessment
Qatar Steel revamped the way that risks are assessed in the plants by shifting from a compliance-based process to a risk-based one with a clear process flow and roles & responsibilities. The revamped system is aimed at effectively and sustainably reducing the risk in the field beyond the documentation of hazards and risks. Qatar Steel trained relevant employees on the new risk assessment system and conducted coaching sessions with each production department to guide them through live examples of Hazard Identification & Risk Assessment (HIRA), Job Safety Analysis (JSA), and Man-Machine Interface (MMI) to ensure risks in the field are effectively mitigated. In 2018, to monitor and control the probable loss of natural gas and to identify the source of massive fire incidents, Qatar Steel's gas leak detection station identified 22 leaks across 11 locations as part of a quantitative risk assessment.
Contractor Safety Management
Qatar Steel put together a comprehensive system to manage contractors, not only during job delivery, but across the entire value chain from pre-selection to contract signature, training, execution and feedback. The system is equipped with a pre- qualification scoring mechanism that will evaluate contractors during the tendering stage.
Behavioural Observation Program
The program has been implemented throughout QS and also forms part of KPI's for management employees. It is continuously monitored to identify trends and to improve employees attitude towards HSE. It has formed a significant part in the reduction of incidents that has been taken place in QS by allowing QS to be pro-active rather than re-active.
Executive Safety Tours:
In 2018, as part of an initiative to showcase leadership's commitment to safety at Qatar Steel, Heads of Sections and Managers conducted bi-monthly walkabouts giving them the opportunity to engage with employees in the shop floor in a positive, constructive and motivating manner.
Safety Governance:
Qatar Steel developed a robust governance structure that links top management to shop floor in a structured manner, with clear reporting lines and mechanisms. The purpose of the upgraded governance structure is to drive messages, concerns and progress from the bottom-up, and cascade decisions top-down while ensuring an effective process. The governance system is equipped with a set of leading and lagging KPIs and dashboards to measure and monitor safety performance in an effective, structured and sustainable manner to drive decision making.

text: There is a tangible unpretentiousness in the Swartland area. I attended the Swartland Producers Street Party a few weeks back on one of the most memorable days in South Africa's recent history as the Springboks played England in the Rugby World Cup in Japan and won! The boys played like demons. Of course the entire community and all the party-goers were glued to the respective television sets in the old brewery and the primary school, where the ''gees'' was at an all-time high!\nWhat a wonderful day for South Africa. The Bokke won the Rugby World Cup for the 3rd time, making them the only country to win on 3 different continents. They won the extraordinary 1995 final in South Africa just after our recent democracy, and who can forget our very special Nelson Mandela lifting the cup with Francois Pienaar in their No 6 jerseys. The Boks won again in 2007 in France and we are so proud of Siya Kolisi (The Bok Captain) whose gentle but firm hand took the Boks to victory over England with a mammoth score of 32 to 12, this time in Japan. The Boks scored 2 tries, also beating a record of never scoring a try in a World Cup Final. Jubilation and "Shosholoza'' was the order of the day.\nThis meant that perhaps the wines of the winemakers in the Swartland would be overshadowed, but not so.\nWhat a wonderful display of individuality, terroir, talent, interesting labels and wines.\nFrom Aspoestertjie to Schenkfontein to FRAM to Sadie Family Wines to Hofstraat and of course the wonderful crazy and delightful AA Badenhorst - made by Adi himself. To name but a few. Generous tastings were available all day in a very convivial and festive space.\nI was fortunate enough to have a media pass, but would happily pay the R450 for the day - which included non-stop tasting of wines you just NEVER see anywhere else, as well as massive tasty samoosas nonstop, and tickets for various delicious foods. We had their Southern Smoke which was delicious and filling. There was also a ticket in our bookie for Gin & Caperitif from AA Badenhorst at the Royal Hotel, as well as Pizza from Mama Cucina. No shortage of refreshments at all.\nWhat a wonderful day of superb wines and great people connecting to sharing the victory of our World Cup. Very special.\n#strongertogether #swartlandsecrets\n \n

A woman constable, her mother and her sister have been booked by Mankapur Police for forcibly taking Rs 50,000 from the cash counter of a grocery store in Mankapur, Nagpur. The women took the cash following a quarrel with the owner of the shop, Pushpendrasinh, who was also injured when a deodorant bottle was thrown at him by one of the woman.
On' Friday, Pushpendrasinh, who also doubles up as a travel agent, was asked by the woman to book train tickets to Pune and back to Nagpur. The constable paid Rs 500 in cash against the bill of Rs 2,250.
Then on Saturday, the constable made the remaining payment through her debit card. After giving the OTP received on her cell phone to the shopkeeper, the remaining amount was deducted from her account. As per the shopkeeper, she checked the bank message on her phone and left the shop.
In the evening, the constable called Pushpendrasinh accusing him of withdrawing more than Rs 15,000 from her account. After the shopkeeper denied withdrawing the money, the constable along with her mother and sister visited the shop. The women abused the shopkeeper and had a heated argument, during which the deodorant bottle was thrown at him.
In spite of the shopkeeper telling the constable that he will go with her to the bank on Monday to enquire about the money, the women kept creating ruckus at the shop. They then proceeded to take the cash out of the counter. The constable's mother also reportedly slapped a customer when he tried to intervene. The shopkeeper, along with others, closed the shutters of the shop, after which the women threatened him with charges of molestation.
The shopkeeper later approached Mankapur Police and filed a complaint, following which the police registered a case of causing hurt and committing robbery against the women.Here's the video of the incident:

Creators of Flash and ActionScript Form Startup
Jon Gay and Robert Tatsumi (the creators of Flash) have teamed up with Gary Grossman (the creator of ActionScript) and Peter Santangeli (former vice president of engineering at Macromedia) to create a new start up company named Software As Art.

Superior Sales: Sell All of Your Benefits
I get a few calls each week by owners and managers of businesses of all sizes asking, "What can we do to generate profits? What can I do to increase sales?" I always say there are a lot of things they can do. But the best answer is based on the combination of three things: Aggressiveness, Sweat and Benefits.
1. Aggressiveness.
Retailers must become more aggressive in marketing their business in effective, efficient ways. One of the best ways is to use the magic words: Who do you know? Every customer you have knows someone who needs and wants your products and services. All you have to do is be aggressive and ask. It does not cost a cent to ask and you will get great leads. Make sure to refer to the customer's name when calling the lead.

Despite this, failing to comply with the new laws as well as requirements means that there is a tax implication. You, therefore, need an accounting firm to give you a personal attention to resolve a tax problem or create a specific transaction plan.
Accounting firms provide expert and efficient solutions to individuals and companies. The primary services they provide include business consulting, taxation, and accounting. At other times, they also provide specialty services with the aim of meeting the unique needs of clients. They serve various types of clients such as individuals, partnerships, corporations, and non-profit organizations.
Accountants help businesses and people to better navigate complex tax requirements. They understand that running a corporation or business can be complex and therefore you need a professional help. Accountants are professionals who are capable of gathering the information you need to prepare your tax returns. They are also professionals who help you develop and implement tax strategies.

An accounting firm must be known for the high-quality services it provides to customers. This can be done through the high standards it sets for its staff.
The primary goal of an accounting firm is to be a trusted advisor.

They must not deliver anything less than the clients are looking for. Accounting firms must be capable of meeting and exceeding the needs of clients.
They must be committed to excellence by answering all the questions of clients on how new laws and situations affect their tax and financial obligations. To make this happen, the firm must continually. Develop its staff with the necessary technical skills and knowledge so that they can serve the needs of clients.
An accounting firm must be responsive. As it provides financial services to small and large organizations, it must rely on employees who are fast and accurate. They must learn to respect the concerns of the financial and business communities. This is only possible with fast and accurate personnel.
Accounting firms must illustrate their diverse talents, the ability to respond promptly and with dedication. This will ensure that it continues to get business from its clients. It also implies that clients can refer others because they are always treated with respect and quickly.
Accounting firms must demonstrate high standards as they serve their customers. They must be capable of combining their energy and experience to serve their clients in a professional manner.
