Dan Harmon (Community) and Justin Roiland's brilliant animated series Rick and Morty will return for it's second season July 26th on Adult Swim.
The upcoming episode of The Simpsons (May 17th) features Rick and Morty crashing the cartoon series' signature couch gag in an extended sequence that plays out like a short film. Watch it below.
"We are honored and blown away to be a part of 'The Simpsons. If I could go back in time and tell myself that this would happen, I'd be like 'No way, Jose!' I simply can't believe it. I think we might all be living in some kind of massive computer simulation to be honest. Look up simulation theory. That would explain how this happened." said Roiland.

I saw this recipe about a year ago on the Rachael Ray Show as a side dish for the upcoming holiday meals we're about to be going crazy over or as a meatless main dish. I had pinned it but did nothing else with it.
Two weeks ago, I was in a dinner funk. Do you ever have those? Everything we might normally eat didn't sound appealing, and in preparation for our then upcoming trip to Nashville and the aforementioned holiday season (translation: season of eating), I wanted to make sure we were a. eating at least mostly healthy, and b. eating up what we had in the house.
I started going back over my Pinterest "to try" board and came across the stuffed butternut squash recipe and went "yes!" in my head. I had almost everything I needed on hand to make it, so it was dinner a couple nights. I paired it with the kale salad and called it dinner, and it was oh. so. good.
You just about have me sold with anything containing butternut squash, but add in the cheese, herbs, and onion? Over the top. This may be one of my new favorites.
I tweaked the recipe for ingredients I had, so it's just slightly different. I'll post it as I made it and you can click on the recipe title for a link to the recipe and a video from the show itself.
adapted from Rachael Ray
serves 2 as a main or 4 as a side
1 medium butternut squash
EVOO Extra Virgin Olive Oil, for drizzling
Salt and pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided
1 cup shredded Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, divided
1 cup cottage cheese
1 tsp. rosemary, chopped
1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
Heat the oven to 425F.
Halve the squash lengthwise, scoop out the seeds and drizzle with EVOO. Season with salt, pepper and a little fresh nutmeg; roast to just tender, 30-35 minutes. Remove and cool to handle.
Reduce oven heat to 375F.
Carefully scoop the flesh of the squash into a bowl, keeping the skins intact. Mash squash flesh with 1 cup of cheddar, 1 cup of Parm, all of the ricotta, and the rosemary. Adjust seasonings and stuff the shells with the mashed squash. Top with a sprinkle of remaining cheddar and Parm, and bake to golden on top, about 10 minutes.
Garnish with scallions.
- If you're a sort of regular reader, you've probably read before about how I'll choose foods I can cook in stages, and this dish is another good example of breaking up the prep over different days or times of day. I roasted the squash the night before and stuck it in the fridge. The next day, I picked up with the rest of the prep and served it. It turned what would have been about an hour or so prep into two sets of 30 minutes or so each.
- You don't want the squash super, super soft (though tender) after roasting, because you want to make sure the skins or shells hold up.
- The original recipe called for ricotta cheese. When I went shopping, the store was out of ricotta, so I took a cue from my favorite lasagna recipe and used cottage cheese. It worked well, but I wonder if the ricotta would yield a slightly smoother and maybe creamier end result.

The price of lamb chops reached a record high in October 2018, Stats NZ said.
Lamb chop prices were up 7.7 percent from September 2018, reaching $17.12 a kilogram, while the cost of sausages was also up, by 4.9 percent to $10.30 a kilo.
"With summer approaching, these price rises will make meat for the barbecue more expensive," consumer prices manager Geraldine Duoba said.
However, the price of sirloin and porterhouse steak was down slightly from its recent high in September 2018, to $30.72 per kilogram.
The price increases in meat follow falls in the New Zealand dollar and strong demand for exports of New Zealand meat, especially lamb.
These increases contributed to a 2.5 percent rise in the price of meat and poultry in October 2018. This is the biggest monthly increase since January 2016.
However, there is good news if you like a salad with your barbecue meat. Vegetable prices fell 8.7 percent in October 2018, after an 8.7 percent fall in September 2018.
"Tomatoes, courgettes and lettuces all had seasonal price falls," Ms Duoba said. "These prices usually keep falling as we head towards summer."
Tomato prices fell 22 percent to $6.90 a kg, while lettuce dropped 30 percent to $1.28 per 500g head.
The fall in courgette prices follows a large increase in September 2018, when supplies were limited. This was when imports of courgettes, and some other fruit and vegetables, were temporarily suspended for biosecurity reasons. New-season supplies of local courgettes came on to the market in October 2018, bringing the price down again. However, courgette prices were still 15 percent higher than they were in October 2017.
Overall, food prices fell 0.6 percent in October 2018, but rose 0.3 percent after seasonal adjustments. Annually, food prices increased 0.6 percent.

Rather they are made by professional who knows the inns and the out of home decoration and have the connection to bring a staple piece that will make your home stand out.
A lot of people are usually intimidated by the idea of hiring an interior designer because they don't really know about how much it is going to cost and other important things.
The truth is that there are tons of benefits associated with the use of a professional interior designer. Below are a few of them.

Beating Amazon in the B2C space is incredibly difficult, and I think many if not most companies are starting to go the marketplace route and sell on Amazon rather than trying to compete with it. Now I don't want to discourage companies from competing with Amazon in the B2C space, and we have written about how to do this in the past. However, we believe there is a much larger opportunity to beat Amazon in the B2B space.
You can laugh at my low budget video, but the point of this is to show our perspective on buying from Amazon. Amazon throws a lot at you, and its not very clear what discounts if any we are getting for being a B2B customer. Overall the B2B experience isn't that great, we are really only buying for the convenience of shipping, product options, and all the other benefits that B2C customers get, but nothing is really tailored to us as a business.
So here are the things I think B2B companies can do to beat Amazon.
1) Better Personalization
Amazon personalizes your account but because they merged B2B and B2C accounts we actually use them for both so the recommendations are all over the place. If your company focuses on B2B you could certainly do a better job personalizing your recommendations, pricing, and other aspects of the experience to the customer, especially if you can pay more attention per customer.
2) Clear discounts for B2B buying and loyalty
It's not clear that I am getting any B2B discounts. As a B2B customer we expect to get some sort of bulk incentives, or at least know how much we need to order to receive them.
3) B2B oriented shipping for larger orders
If you are ordering large orders of many products, Amazon isn't really designed for this kind of freight shipping. Offering more B2B oriented shipping options could be a differentiator or at least a way to catch up to their dominance.
4) Simpler and more clear account pages
The account pages of Amazon are overwhelming. There are so many links, it's hard to know where to go. Having more clear and useful account pages could be a great way to make the experience more personal and user-friendly for businesses who have specific objectives compared to customers who might be just window shopping.
5) Hands on Sales
Having a sales team follow up on accounts that are buying to see how their experience is going could go a long way. Amazon has never reached out to us. We have no relationship with them as a B2B buyer. As a smaller company, this is something you could offer to personalize the experience with a more human experience. Even just offering small discounts or tips could go a long way.
[su_divider top="no" divider_color="#78af00″]***[/su_divider]
I am really just scratching the surface here, there is so much more that B2B companies could be doing to compete with Amazon, but these are just some of the ones I notice just from simply browsing the site for a brief moment.

Police, Family Provide Update On Okland Case
Family and friends are remembering the sixth month mark in the Ashley Okland homicide investigation Monday.
Ashley Okland, 27, was found shot inside the model unit of a new townhome complex in West Des Moines on April 8. Police said no one has been arrested in connection with the case, which is considered a top priority by the police department.
Ashley's brother Josh talked to KCCI on Monday about the investigation.
"Just because it's six months doesn't mean anything really changed for us. It will be the same six months or two years, we still feel the same. We would like to know some answers. It would definitely help, but it won't change anything," said Josh Okland, Ashley's brother.
"We were really close we had tons of memories so I always think about those and all the fun times we had together.
"I don't want people to forget. I don't want it to go cold. I don't want it to be forgotten about.
"If someone knows anything, the longer they wait the more of a chance it will disappear. I want people to be reminded about it so something is done.
Josh Okland said finding out what happened about bring the family closure.
"It will give us the ability to forget about the tragedy and remember the good times we had with her.
"If there is someone out there that still knows something, I don't know why they wouldn't say anything, but this is the time to come forward and say something."
West Des Moines police spokesman Lt. Jim Barrett said investigators have so far followed up on more than 681 tips, interviewed more than 500 people and executed five search warrants in the case.
Barrett said the killing is still a priority for the department and isn't considered a cold case.
"It's important for everybody to know that this is still an active case. We are still actively investigating it," said Barrett. "I think we owe it to Ashley, her family and the community to work the case the best we can and that's what we're doing at this time."
Barrett said the public is still providing tips about the case on a weekly basis.
Polk County Crime Stoppers is offering a $75,000 reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.

The Council Of Dalba is the Aussie skate crew I've been riding with out here. Dalba is the leader of the pack and a total winner. We took from the sunday to the following friday to drive between Sydney and Melbourne via Canberra, skating as many parks as possible.
Before getting going we hit up Sonny and Dalba's secret lair just outta Sydney for some very special Golden Cobra Coffee.
Most the trip we cooked on on the free park BBQ's or on the little Dalba gas cooker.... Sonny cooking up a storm.
While on the road we saw a few pretty big spiders but know of the really nasty ones that kill ya.
We tried to camp or sleep out most nights and a few times we got a motel room between all of us. We slept on Mollymook beach and some gay dude told us off the next morning, while standing there in the worlds smallest speedos.
"Boys, boys, boys....the beaches of australia are not for camping, they're for the people who buy houses here, now please leave and take your rubbish as well" .... yeah we're all like 30 and not gonna respect that...what a tit. If there's not camping on the beach then he better leave as well in those swimmers.
Ulladulla Skatepark was a legendary spot we had to hit....Joe and Sam shot a photo on the vert wall with Freddy.
Bro's in Bowls.....Joe, Dalba and Sonny..
At one park we even camped on the cricket oval next to the park as they had free bbq's and soft grass.
Sam is always the best dressed and well groomed on the trip....
Once I get everyone else's foto's I'll make a better post about the trip.... off to sort out more works for the Brisbane show and maybe skate Fernside.

Shortly, those who have school age children will be getting ready to send them off to school again. And there may have been a time when we were very young that we thought that once we graduated school that the entire business of student and teacher would be over forever.
Later on, we realized that we are always learning, whether it is new skills for a particular job, playing a musical instrument, a sport, a game, a hobby, or life skills for improving our relationships and exploring developments that would enrich us spiritually, philosophically or physically.
And in time, we found ourselves being the ones that others came to for advice, and perhaps we were surprised by who asked us and why.
And that may lead us into a one on one mentor relationship or a group class, a formal or informal course of studies.
You see, once we have taken care of finding work and a home, our attention often wanders into areas that will enrich our lives. As we get older, we give more thought to subjects like mortality, parallel dimensions of life and our legacies. As we do, we realize that legacies can be much more than the physical things we leave behind. Legacies are also about what we have taught and shared and about how well those we have taught and shared with have evolved.
The realization that we are always both student and teacher upends the notion that we only learn for a while and then we are done. Awakenings may have come to us at a time of career change, a relationship beginning or ending, facing a serious health challenge or the death of someone close to us.
When we look closely at what we do, if we pursue excellence, we are always asking how we can do what we do better. It is at these moments when new truths reveal themselves. When we are preparing to teach someone else and it suddenly occurs to us how we can present the subject better. Or when we are doing something we have done for quite a while and suddenly we discover another way to practice it.
We are never really done learning or teaching. Some times we are one, some times we are the other. We are both at the same time and it is rewarding and deeply satisfying to know this as we act on it.
The subjects may change, but in essence, they are always the same. We are always exploring and discovering ways to improve the quality of our lives and this always affects those connected to us.
Our circles of connection are more extensive than we often realize, encompassing not only lovers, but close friends, relatives, co-workers, neighbors and casual acquaintances. And then if we have published anything on line, who knows who saw it?
If we are always conscious of our own evolution, then there is no end to the new beginnings and fresh starts waiting to be unveiled, experiences for us to step into.

It's Tyre Wars and Falkens Got A Weapon!
Falken Tyres and their official Malaysian distributor, Stamford Tyres, launched the Azenis FK510 in Malaysia this month. Those unfamiliar with the code names, Falkens Azenis line up represents their Ultra High Performance (UHP) tyres made specifically for individuals who seek high levels of performance and refinement. Since the FK453, the outgoing UHP model, is getting on 4 years old now, it was about time Falken 'upped the ante' with the FK510. It was about time too with the battle for preferred tyre company in the market is getting extremely heated.
Although the FK510 was only launched for the Malaysian market this month, it was already on sale and hitting the streets of Europe in 2017 and it has wasted no time in garnering positive responses and even awards. Germany's Auto Bild gave it a 2nd place and it has been reported to be in the top 5 in multiple independent tyre tests. Theoretically it comes as no surprise when you study the facts. The FK510 has been in development for at least 3 years and in that time, the engineers back in Sumitomo Rubber Asia Tyre have gathered data from their extensive motorsport achievements and instilled that performance DNA into it. Falkens stand out quality is to not sacrifice comfort and refinement in the pursuit of performance so the design of the FK510 is built using the NEO-T01 manufacturing technology. This NEO-T01 technology is used specifically in the manufacturing of Falken UHP tyres and it allows their tyres to be made with an uniquely high level of circularity which in turn greatly improves high speed stability, efficiency, tyre roar and lowers the weight of the final product. So you could imagine our anticipation to have a crack at it.
Test drive day! A chance to experience the FK510's behaviour in various scenarios and in this instance, against a competitor. Falken had done their research and had set a competitor tyre as their main rival given its immense popularity right now among buyers with a hunger for adrenaline. The test drive was split into two sections, a brief road test and a closed course slalom combined with a wet condition brake test. Each test was conducted in 3 parts, first with the outgoing FK453 tyres, secondly with a competitor's tyre and finally with the flagship Falken FK510.
The road test clearly outlined the FK510's sheer quietness on the road. The tyre roar was insignificant as was the comfort, though that last point had to be handed down to the Honda Accords provided. Despite the aesthetic outlook of the tyres with those wide shoulder blocks, at high speeds, the tyre does bite down onto the tarmac. A full on track test would help verify that further but we conclude that it has serious potential. As for the closed course slalom test, the FK510 did not disappoint but it did not provide the confidence other harder compound tyres do under such stress situations. By contrast, when it comes to wet weather performance, the FK510 is in a class of one. Thanks to the new Switchback Siping design thread that maximises contact patch in wet conditions and circumferential grooves, pulling to a halt in a short distance and without any unpredictability was easy. It certainly is a selling point. Tyre longevity is tough to predict but the 4D nano design technology used does improve thread flexibility that has been proven to prolong tyre wear.
Malaysians will be able to purchase the Falken Azenis FK510 tyres at any authorised Falken dealers and distributors nationwide.

It's often been said that environment plays a part in who you are or become. There are genetic aspects, too, but there is also Pavlov's learned behavior. Where I grew up in Boston, there was little choice but to learn early in life to be a fighter…. unless you wanted to simply hand over your coat or the hard-earned dollar in your pocket.
Back in 1967 and 1968 when I played high school hockey, we play 20 games and mostly on outdoor rinks. Only a few school in the ISL had covered rinks and certainly it was a reason why they might have better teams. They attracted players who wanted to and were destined to play in college hockey. Pros? Hardly likely, but a few guys like Danny Bolduc (Harvard University, WHA's New England Whalers, Detroit Red Wings, Calgary Flames) made it to the pro level after good prep-school and college hockey careers.
Keep this in mind, too: Until the years following the Miracle on Ice in Lake Placid, most American kids dared not even think of the NHL. I was one of the relatively few who dared to dream that dream, and found a way to make it. Meanwhile, most of the Canadian kids who came here to play university hockey played 70 to 100 games in Junior B (while we played our 20 games, which were like tea and crumpets by comparison). Even College vs Junior A played only 25 games. That also had a lot to do with why American kids were generally not looked on as a viable talent pool in those days.
Change is not always a bad thing, my friends. It gladdens my heart to see such a wide pool of American kids making it to the NHL as players (if only the doors were as open to American officials!). The quality of the National Team Development Program, the local leagues at all levels and the ever-increasing growth of programs outside the traditional hockey hotbed regions of New England and Minnesota has been great to see.
Today's American players are growing up in a whole different world than the ones from my generation. However, there are certain things that will never change.
I tell kids this:Don't quit. Stay at it and elbow your way into the leagues. They won't forever look past a guy that can skate and keeps himself in top shape. The rest, you can learn. Sometimes, even I forget that hard-learned lesson and I let things get to me. Then I get re-grounded and remember how I — and others who have achieved longevity in their professional lives — got there in the first place.
Remember: Every no brings you one step closer to a yes. Keep at it.

"A weaker currency combined with the continued expansion of the world economy could support South African manufacturers to become more competitive on the international market."
"The fall (in exports) may have something to do with supply problems and getting the minerals to the ports for exports. And demand from Europe seems to be a bit weaker."
"Of this projected deficit, 21 billion rand originates from the poor performance of the trade account."

Christian Carter
19 years old
He/Him/His & They/Them/Theirs
5 years in Pennsylvania's child welfare system.
Christian Carter entered care at the age of 13. He was asked to be removed from his home to ensure his safety as a queer black youth. After being removed, he was fortunate enough to find a home with two women who identify as lesbian and having a caseworker who was actively aware of the sensitivity of LGBTQ+ topics and didn't bring it up until he was ready. This was exactly what he needed, adults who created a space of safety and comfort, allowing Christian to grow into his queerness and thrive in his identity. Now there were challenges and hardships that accrued. At the time there was high racial tension, with the deaths of Sandra Bland, Trayvon Martin, and countless other attacks on black bodies from law enforcement. This introduced conversations in the home that his mothers weren't used to having as two white women. By fostering a young black queer child who was encouraged to be unapologetically himself opened the lens of what it meant living colorful rather than colorblind. They did have commonality being LGBTQ+ but his mothers actively educated themselves on racial issues to support Christian fully, understanding their relationship, and creating a multiracial family of love, value, and appreciation for one another. For young people who identify as LGBTQ+ within foster care, Christian states "Your chosen family is out there, people who want to invest in you and heal along with you, your chosen family doesn't have to be blood-related. Although times may be hard or confusing, learn how to advocate for yourself because no one else will do it for you as good as you will."
Christian's supportive adults - teachers, his mothers, and parents of friends, all invested time in him while he attended Pittsburgh Creative for Performing Arts School. Allowing him to embrace his passion for performing arts and organizing marches. In 2017, he co-led a march of 300 students from multiple school districts in protesting DeVos as Secretary of Education. Currently, Christian works for the Alliance for Police Accountability as the Lead Youth Organizer and also Co-Founded Youth Power Collective, a student-led, multi-issue based group. Christian hopes one day there is a change in the training of social workers, foster parents, and others involved in the child welfare system to have equity included in the training to gain cultural competency and bringing awareness around privilege to support LGBTQ+ youth of color.
Also, he would like to see a change in regards to the homeless population of youth within the system. He says "A lot of people have a preconceive notion of what "the youth" want but they don't really. Learn how to engage youth voice and perspective and allow them to lead those conversations to create change, also to having funding to support the youth voice." Lastly, be willing to listen and learn from the voices of LGBTQ+ youth and youth of color.

Cheese Tower – Festive Season Elegance
Posted on December 10, 2018 by nerinatimm in cheese
A cheese tower or tower of cheese can NEVER be a bad thing, especially over the festive season.
I made this cheese tower, because so many people have asked me about cheese towers for special occassions, like weddings, 21st parties of just special birthday celebrations. I had all intentions do do this post earlier in the year, but the trick is to find enough cheese lovers and eaters to eat the evidence after the shoot.
We are having our community's end-of-year Christmas lunch on Sunday, so it created the perfect opportunity to make this cake. Surely there will be enough cheese eaters around.
There are so many varieties of cheese around, so it would be difficult to name specific cheeses. I do love Fairview, so will always opt for their delicious cheese, but the choice is yours. I will however give guidance as to flavors, side dishes and ways to make it beautiful.
Choices of Cheese
Hard Cheese
One of the layers in your tower must be a hard cheese. I'm thinking of a hard crumbly texture and I strongly reccomend the Kleinrivier Grana.I first tasted this cheese as judge at the Dairy Championships and fell in love.
Cheddar – semi-hard
Your tower needs a good cheddar, tangy, sligtly acidic, yet not as mature as the grana. Here, I can think of a few, but an 10 months old matured cheddar is perfect. My choice: Ladysmith Mature Cheddar
Everyone's favorite, so you cannot leave out the gouda. Mild enough and familiar so that even the children can tuck in. I reccommend: Parmelat President Matured Gouda (6 months)
Soft Cheese
Brie – Who can resist a soft, runny, mouldy cheese. My heart as you know is with Fairview so the cheese of my heart is the Grand Brie. If you bring it to room temperature, you will have the perfect ooze.
White Rock
A mild, semi-soft white cheese with added cranberries and natural fruit essences. A lovely combination of sweet fruits and a cheesy flavour.
Blue Cheese
Definitely a good choice, although there will always be the blue cheese hater here or there. Fairview Blue Rock is a full fat blue veined Roquefort-style cheese with a rich flavour and a firm yet creamy texture.
Another rind cheese that your tower should not be without.
Goats cheese
The proverbial "cherry on the top of the cake" is the Fairview Crottin. A white mould cheese with an intense goat flavor.
I kept the colors and textures rather rustic and earthy. I love penny gum and the succulents in various sizes and colors worked for me. You can play with more vibrant colors, use roses, vine leaves, olive branches whatever you have available. Also stay in the theme of your buffet of wedding tables. I had a punnet of blueberries and added them. I liked the little pops of purple here and there.
Firstly, of course bread. Have a variety, sourdough, soft homebaked bread, baguettes and bread sticks and crackers. Leave some of the breads whole, but also cut the bigger ones so that it is not too complicated for the quests.
Fresh fruit, cheese and bread is a winning combination. Grapes, figs, berries and other soft fruits are very popular -Which ever fruits are in season. Dried fruit can also work – apple rings, apricots, peaches, cranberries and dried figs.
Pickles, presserves and syrups – homemade pickles are delicious and very easy to make. Presserves such as figs, watermelon pieces, quince and jams are popular choices.
Lastly, make sure you have enough knives, spoons, little forks and small plates and bowls on table.

CHIEF Constable Richard Brunstrom yesterday issued a warning that North Wales Police must slash dozens of jobs.
And Mr Brunstrom said the impact of the cutbacks would have a "direct impact on the streets".
His outburst came at yesterday's meeting of the police authority in St Asaph.
"We are facing dozens of job cuts – and you have to explain that to the public," he told the meeting.
"It will have a direct impact on the streets. But the first thing I have to do is to protect 999 services, where lives can be at risk."
It was likely that cuts would fall on the most popular part of the service, such as neighbourhood policing, but would have a direct impact on the force at all levels.
He acknowledged that downsizing was likely to cause public disquiet and pointed out , but with 80% of the force budget being dedicated to staff costs, it was inevitable that cuts would have a direct impact on levels.
Members were considering a report by Mr Brunstrom and director of finance Mike Parkin suggesting various council tax precepts and the funding gaps they entailed.
The chief constable said there was still much work to be done and in some ways the report was a worst case scenario.
The report said a more realistic savings plan would be a mixture of reductions in numbers of police – there is a "natural wastage" of 74 annually through retirements and resignations – and support staff.
At a meeting on December 19, when the precept will be fixed, several options are likely to be offered; a 5% rise seen as the most likely.
This would equate to a 3.7% increase in the budget but leave a funding gap of £3.7 million. According to the report the amount of increase required to meet inflation would be 6.5%.
Independent member Richard Parry Hughes said there was "a lot of tension" about paying more and more for the police precept and they had to consider how much extra people could be expected to spend in hard economic times.
Another independent member, Morag Webb, said: "If there's a squeeze there's almost no fat left to make savings on the operational side."
Earlier, members heard from Deputy Chief Constable Clive Wolfendale about the opportunities presented by "Quest", a system which has been started in North Flintshire and Rhyl with the aim of improving efficiency, productivity and public satisfaction.
One of the features is the introduction of an appointments system to meet members of the public. It meant that officers could deal with as many as six appointments in a day.
He described it as "the best thing to come out of the Home Office in my 33 years' experience" and in itself could lead to reductions in costs.
After the meeting Anne Roberts, the Unison branch secretary, said that after losing 100 support staff two years ago there was, naturally, anxiety about the future.
"Everything that is being said is speculative, but if more redundancies come it will be more serious than last time because there will not be the same packages available," she said.

In partnership with Upside Business Travel in celebration of National Business Traveler Day
Say goodbye to the traveling salesman of yesteryear and hello to his savvy female counterpart. As women continue breaking glass ceilings, walls, floors and other barriers to success and financial freedom, they are traveling on trains, planes, and automobiles to handle business.
Last year alone, more than 514 million business trips were taken in the US, contributing to $547B, or roughly 3 percent of the country's GDP. Despite the fact that many see the face of "business travel" as a middle-aged, perhaps balding, white man, DIY travel booking company, Upside Business Travel, reports that there's a new traveler in town, and she's got cash to burn.
With a penchant for seamless experiences and a good deal, today's rising travel star is a woman between 30 and 44 years old (significantly younger than her male counterparts), who on average falls between 45 and 60 years old. She's discerning, pragmatic, and knows how to have fun while on the job. Last week, we celebrated the inaugural National Business Traveler Day, recognizing the growing number of women and her male counterparts who take time away from friends, family and even their comfortable beds, in the name of enterprise.
"With more than 2 million business trips taken every day, we really think of business travelers as the unsung heroes in our economy," says Upside's Chairman, Jay Walker. "We thought it would be great if we could create a national platform that celebrates business travelers and everything they do to keep our economy moving forward."
This new holiday also brings with it a new resolution in the US Congress that will recognize National Business Traveler Day each year. A bipartisan group of Congress members, including U.S. Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton of the District of Columbia, U.S. Representative Jim Himes of Connecticut's 4th District and U.S. Representative Scott Tipton of Colorado's 3rd District, have joined together to ensure the important role business travel plays in the American economy is herforth recognized and supported.
"National Business Traveler Day is a long overdue recognition," says Rep. Holmes Norton, regarding the recently appointed holiday. "Our country's economic growth is critically important, and business travelers are the ones who keep us going down the right path to prosperity. I'm honored to join with my colleague Rep. Himes, in adding my voice in support of a day to give thanks to so many of our nation's working men and women."
To better understand the emerging female demographic, Upside Business Travel conducted an online survey of DIY business travelers across the United States. A total of 4,576 responses were received between February 28, 2018, and April 11, 2018. This survey identified a few key new traveler groups, and among them were 'Million Milers', 'Luxury Travelers', 'Road Veterans' and of course, women, who were named the "rising stars" of DIY business travel.
"This new demographic is flat out smarter and the reason they are smarter is that they've grown up more connected, are used to finding answers on the fly and not accepting the conventional wisdom," says Walker. "They are looking to go on TripAdvisor, Yelp and social media to find a gym that's really good rather than what we tell her is good. Yes, women are younger and more diverse, but it's more so a psychographic change. This is a generation that says it's not just product; I want service. And there are who set of service expectations that the travel industry hasn't wrapped its head around. It's a legacy industry that hasn't fully embraced tech."
Chief among the findings of today's emerging traveler demographic is that there is no longer a one-size-fits-all profile to describe it. "The bottom line when trying to understand today's business travelers is that there is no single group or image that represents them," says Ellenthal "They are more diverse than ever." Additionally, as the workforce becomes more and more freelance, those looking to travel find themselves with a new set of needs, and no human resource department to help manage it.
"When it comes to the Road Warrior, traditional stereotypes die hard. For many, the mere words bring to mind the road-weary, middle-aged salesman dutifully hitting the road in search of new customers. But things have changed."
-Genevieve Holmes, Senior Manager, Content at Upside Business Travel
"And speaking of female travelers, they are known for having the ability to more easily combine work and play than male travelers."
"Business travelers today are looking for customer service throughout their entire purchase journey, from the start to the finish," says Upside Co-Founder Jon Ellenthal. "People don't think of themselves as 'business travelers,' they are just people who happen to travel for business in the context of their well-connected lives."
And its women who are starting to rewrite the needs of the modern business traveler, which these days begins and ends with a strong service proposition. Upside's report revealed that women are twice as likely to rate their current travel solution a 4 or below (on a 1-10 scale) for customer service. Known for comparison shopping and enjoying highly personalized customer support, 60 percent of women are doing their research when booking business travel, which explains why women take 13 percent longer to book travel than their male colleagues. Additionally, of all the priorities the female business traveler of today have, the most important is having a smooth, "glitch-free" experience, this means knowing weather and traffic patterns ahead of time, to create a navigation game plan.
And speaking of female travelers, they are known for having the ability to more easily combine work and play than male travelers, as 32 percent of women surveyed are interested in nearby attractions like bars and museums, as compared to 23 percent of men looking for the same things. According to the team at Upside, the era of "Bleisure" is upon us, as 50 percent of business travelers are extending trips to add in some leisure activities. And in fact, only 3.4 percent of business travelers say that they do not at all enjoy their business travel.
"Business travel is still life; you're still living," adds Upside's Senior Content Manager, Genevieve Holmes. "And in fact, some of the most inspirational moments can happen while you're traveling. You can put a stake in the ground and show you're a boss lady, but beyond that, there's a need to be constantly connected and for instant results. It's a highly valuable underserved demographic."
In short, it's the generation of the DIY business traveler, as 50 percent of those in the business travel market book their own flights and accommodations. Given the strides women are making in entrepreneurship, it's no secret that There are more women on the road than ever before – up to nearly half of all business travelers.
"This is a generation that says 'it's not just product, I want service.' If it's cold and you're in heels and you have to walk 3 blocks, that won't work. Three blocks isn't just 3 blocks when you have an important business deal on the table. It's a whole different set of service expectations that the travel industry hasn't fully wrapped its head around."
-Jay Walker, Chairman, Upside Business Travel
"These 'road warriors', women and men, young and old, representing the diversity of the American workforce, sacrifice a lot in terms of time away from family and home, and deserve this recognition. Business travelers contribute significantly to our nation's competitiveness. Their leadership in bringing together business deals and identifying opportunities contributes directly to economic growth and opportunity. I am hoping that the Congress will act quickly to send this resolution to the President for signature," said Rep. Himes.
In order to get in the spirit of smart travel, we asked female travel experts to dish their best advice. Here, the results…
Advice From Female Travel Bosses
"I travel 3-5 times per month. Most importantly, organization is key. I have travel sizes of all of my hair and skin products always packed. My makeup is minimal, but I have a small makeup bag that I can just throw my go-to products into in 3 minutes. Mix and match is a must, I pack a limited number of colors and most can be re-worn if needed. Shoes must be comfortable and versatile and I only pack 1-2 pairs based on length of trip and need. Clothes are rolled, not folded. I have travel toothbrush, paste, soaps etc always packed in a separate small makeup bag. I can throw it all in a small carry-on and be out the door in 20 minutes, packed for a 3-day trip easily."
-Tammy Davenport, CEO of WBDC World
"When it comes to packing, keep a second set of all your toiletry items packed in your bag and ready to go. Simply add in your daily makeup if you do not wish to duplicate and you are set. Immediately upon arriving home, refill the travel kit items. In terms of clothing, I like to focus on one color palette per trip – black, gray, brown, blue, etc. so that you may minimize shoes and accessory pieces. When you arrive at the hotel, hang up your clothing immediately and if wrinkled, steam in the bathroom with a hot shower. Don't forget to bring along an empty envelope to place your expense receipts in one spot during the trip, or simply photograph on your phone for digital archives. Also, be realistic: do not bring along a stack of reading materials that you 'intend' to catch up on. Focus on just a few items if paper-based."
-Paige Dawson Rodriguez, Principal & Owner of Avery Blank Consulting
"Always book the window seat (unless you are a frequent pee-er). It provides a much better pillow than the guy next to you when you're exhausted. Also, get to the airport early enough to buy a bottle of water and a something of substance, even if you aren't hungry. Being grounded or delayed with no food or water can be brutally painful. You'll also want the carbs so highly recommend a sandwich. Do not bring hot food on a plane. By the time you get around to eating it, it won't be hot. Always be kind to the flight attendants. If you've had a bad day, I promise you theirs has been worse. Kindness can often lead to free wine or upgrades."
-Lindsay Stevens, CEO of Lindsay Stevens PR
"I don't think twice about packing anymore. I have a Dopp kit at the ready. I throw wrinkle-free black dresses in my suitcase. I take a pair of dressy flats, simple heels, black boots and a pair of running shores. I always travel with a bathing suit and a set of workout clothes. For colder climates, I wear a very long puffer coat. For temperate climates, I have a trench coat. (It doubles as a bathrobe, if necessary!) I carry a black pashmina in my purse which I use as a scarf, a wrap or a pillow. I also keep a small, cross-body bag and a reusable nylon bag inside my purse."
-Tracy Schneider, PR for CallisonRTKL
"Overall, the small things add up. When in doubt, do whatever you can to make travel more fun, easy, and joyful - and you will reap the benefits on every level. Here are some of my rules of the road:
- Make travel as comfortable as possible. Fly first class, check everything you can, eat well, don't drink too much, etc. It's worth the extra expense to make travel FUN for you - especially on long flights. Wear clothes that look good but feel like pajamas and make sure you wear flat shoes (ladies especially, the boots and heels are always a threat to your TSA pre-check ease!)
- Use the lounges. Lounges are all different - but they all offer small things that make such a difference in the quality of your day. I've experienced the joy of quiet, privacy, quality wifi, a shower, a massage (my favorite!), and a great cup of tea. Each one made my whole experience significantly better.
- Don't schedule work. I like to make any productivity on travel days an extra bonus. That way the travel feels relaxing and easy - and it makes it easier to get back to work when I arrive. I bring at least one amazing book and download a great movie in advance so that I have entertainment I love the whole time - even if I'm surprised by the flight amenities
- Dismantle your belief in jet lag. Homeopathics and melatonin don't hurt either - but I have radically improved my experience of changing time zones by simply deciding that jet lag is not a big deal for me. It used to be my excuse to be less than 100 percent for days! Now I don't tolerate that - I'm in the time zone I'm in at 100 percent capacity. I love it.
- Do you. I'm the kind of person who loves her time alone on a plane. It's like free time! Just for me! No one to know or bother me. Other people love talking to their seat companions - it's fun. Whatever you're in the mood for - do that... Otherwise, you will literally drain your energy and be miserable when you arrive.
- Let yourself be served. Whenever a flight attendant offers you something, or offers to do something for you, let them! Use the travel to let yourself feel extra supported, to practice receiving, and allowing good things to come to you."
-Jesse Johnson, CEO of Jesse Johnson Coaching, Inc.
"Flying is a great, uninterrupted way for me to focus on work, so I make sure my devices are charged and that I have great music to listen to. Also, always carry a paperback or notebook so you have something during those tortuous 15 minutes of no electronics. Always wear layers on a plane. It can go from freezing to extremely hot within minutes. If you're on an overnight flight, and you have a meeting as soon as you land, bring something to change into before arrival. You can ask the flight attendant to hang it for you as well."
-Jazmine Valencia, President/CEO of JV Agency
"I keep packing checklists on my phone for the essentials I need to pack in my backpack, and packing lists that are arranged by the type of trips I often take (e.g., adventure travel, more formal press trip, or attending a birth). I also preload my phone with audiobooks and podcast episodes so I have entertainment on the plane without needing wifi. Maintaining a healthy diet can be really tricky while traveling so I'll purchase mixed nuts and Luna bars for the plane and stop at a grocery store on the way to my hotel (if the room will have a fridge) to pick up fresh produce, probiotic drinks, and anything else that will naturally enhance my energy and prevent a slow digestive system. Because I have a husband and four-year-old at home, maximizing my time while I'm traveling solo I make a list of the projects I want to tackle and rank them in order of importance. I often do my best writing when I'm on one of these trips."
-Bailey Gaddis, Author, Freelance Writer
"I'm a 55-year old woman and have traveled extensively my entire career--sometimes once a month, sometimes three to four times a month. Here are some tips that have been invaluable to me as a traveler: Keep a contact file of all of your Frequent Flier, Frequent Stayer, Frequent Renter numbers so all of the information is at your fingertips when you check in. It's amazing how many times they don't have your number in your record. If they don't have it, you miss out on points. Leave thank you notes for hotel people. Many times they will reward a "thank you" with a free breakfast, free drink, or an upgrade. Security is paramount. Never make your hotel room number accessible. Don't let the front desk person say it aloud, cover it on anything written. Don't sign it at the bar or restaurant table. If your room number is accessible, you're vulnerable. Don't take the chance. Always check your room out completely before locking yourself into it. More than once, I've opened the door to find someone sleeping in the bed. This time it's a mistake by the front desk. Next time, it might be a tragedy. Another security tip: Set your suitcase in front of the door. If someone does try to break it, it's one more obstacle for them."
-Laurie Richards, President of LR&A
"After 25 years of traveling back and forth to Asia and Europe numerous times during the year, I have taken a contrarian view on packing. I prefer to pack heavy and never feel deprived. One should always have the right clothes and shoes for any occasion, from dining at Mr. and Mrs. Bund in Shanghai to trekking in Tibet on the same trip. I like to bring a lot of black clothing! Black can easily be dressed up or down, for daytime running around cities and also for nice dinners out. Also, invest in Phones and iPads that work everywhere and a local SIM card in a flip phone that allows cheap calls back home for less than 25 cents a minute instead of over a dollar. Take simple luggage so it doesn't stand out and you don't get robbed. Flashy luggage (e.g. leather Louis Vuitton) is a mistake for checked baggage! Luggage that is black and doesn't show the dirt or polycarbonate luggage that is lightweight and doesn't get scuffed. When it comes to cash, take brand new clean US dollars for exchanging into local currency. Many countries such as Myanmar won't accept banknotes more than five years old. I also take a stack of 100 clean new US $1 bills for tips."
-Catherine Heald, CEO & Co-Founder of Remote Lands
"If you want to maximize your productivity inflight, get your devices, power cords, water bottle, glasses and so forth out of your bags before you settle into your seat. You won't be able to access the overhead compartment again until 45k feet, but the in-flight Wi-Fi network becomes available at 10K feet."
-Patricia Hume, CCO of iPass
"I pretty much have two of everything at this point. Two toothbrushes, two phone chargers, two hairbrushes, two deodorants. One set stays home, and the other lives in my suitcase so it's always handy and I never forget to pack it. I also always keep a set of camp-style silverware in my suitcase. I've had a takeout place forget to give me a fork and/or tried to eat leftovers in the room by tearing a plastic water cup into strips that I could use like shovels one too many times. Now, if I need silverware, I just rinse off my own set and eat in a much more dignified manner. Another tip, download and use the free airline apps. They give you automatic check-in reminders and allow you to change your seats on the fly. You can also get current gate info if you're trying to make a tight connection and even order food on the run in some airports."
-Kris Morton, Travel Blogger
"Travel light. I don't take a carry on (it saves money and hassle). I take one small suitcase for clothes, shoes & accessories and one large bag (for books, snacks, laptop). When I keep it light, it's easy to jump from plane to train to bus to car! It makes the day easier on my body too! I always take a notebook and pen to jot down the random ideas I have while traveling or the random information you collect while traveling (hotel manager names, phone numbers, emails, whatever randomly comes up!)"
-Sheena Jeffers, Founder, and Co-owner of WELLwomen, Inc.
"For working moms: Circle the Wagons--work travel is hard on the entire family, even if your spouse is 100 percent hands-on and supportive. So utilize calendars and lists to make sure that everything is handled when you're away. Enlist grandparents and helpful friends if shuttling to and from activities is hard with just one parent on deck. This goes for traveling fathers, as well. It does take a village, so if one chief is out of town, have others willing to step in on the backburner."
-Meaghan Dawson, Writer, and Blogger
"Make sure to wear loose-fitting, yet smart attire when traveling long haul, as you will have a staple to fall back on if you lose your suitcase.. I bring my biggest wrap if I am flying coach class and a Sneck to make me comfortable. Drink one cup of water (at least) for every hour of the flight and very rarely have any alcohol inflight, as you would hate to arrive jaded. No one arrives at their destination feeling anything other than gross, having slept in a seat that thousands of others have slept and sweated in before you. Thus, bring a little pump dispenser spray with a mixture of half alcohol (vodka will do) half water and 20 drops of your favorite essential oils and spray it on the seat before you sit down. It will make you feel better with the familiar smell and the oils are also antibacterial so they kill some airborne bugs."
-Grainne Kelly, Founder of BubbleBum
"Here are just a few of tidbits of advice on how to fit in fitness and healthy eating when your travel schedule gets too full to function. Be sure to start hydrating 3 days prior to a long international flight. Do not consume alcohol when on international flights. Sleep on the plane and eat a well-balanced and substantial meal before leaving the house so it's easier to say no to plane food. Bring granola/CLIFF bars to stay fueled on the road, and keep snacks on hand to have during long meetings. If you can, get in a couple extra workouts while on the road since you're likely cutting down on commuting time (and your hotel probably has a gym). Get your traveling workouts done first thing in the morning. Record your daily workouts to give yourself a sense of accomplishment for the day. Drink all of the water throughout the day."
-Rhonda Vetere, President of Data + Analytics, nThrive
"Some travel advice from a woman on-the-go:
- Seek natural light. At the airport or at a restaurant, position yourself next to the window and take in the sun for a moment. (PS Natural light also makes for the best Instagram lighting for people and food.) Sunlight boosts your mood with that feel good vitamin D you may be missing after a long flight. Also, when you're in your hotel room, don't use the blackout curtains, let the room fill with inspiring, natural light in the morning to wake you up. This will help you feel "normal" asap in a new place.
- Always ask for stuff. As a business traveler, time and comfort are of the utmost importance. Don't be afraid to ask for what you want and need to make you comfortable. Ask for that better seat, a better hotel room, a free upgrade. Often the exit row on an international flight does not cost anything extra. The worst they can say is no, and if you don't ask for it, someone else will. And treat all staff with respect—travel can be rough, so ask for what you need with persistence and humility, assuming the kindly brontosaurus stance.
- Arbitrage Awesomeness. For example, if you're in Bangkok for a meeting, make sure to get a massage. If you're in Taiwan, don't get stuck in a restaurant, they have some of the best street food in the world. Tokyo has amazing hand printed scarves for less than $20USD, a worthy wardrobe splash of color in place of Hermes. Every place has something delightful to experience and take advantage of while you're there.
- Don't be afraid to combine work & pleasure. "Bleisure Travel" is on the rise! Now more than ever, business travelers are extending their work trips a day or two, bringing their significant other (in my case, a video/photographer or business partner) for a short yet inspiring getaway, and seeking out renowned restaurants, museums, and bars while they're on their work trips. Make the most out of your time in a different city."

7 Must-have Tips to Keep You Healthy and Fit for the Unpredictable COVID Future
With a lack of certainty surrounding the future, being and feeling healthy may help bring the security that you need during these unpredictable times.
When it comes to your health, there is a direct relationship between nutrition and physical activity that play an enormous part in physical, mental, and social well-being. As COVID-19 continues to impact almost every aspect of our lives, the uncertainty of the future may seem looming. Sometimes improvisation is necessary, and understanding how to stay healthy and fit can significantly help you manage your well-being during these times.
Tip 1: Communicate with your current wellness providers and set a plan
Gyms, group fitness studios, trainers, and professionals can help you to lay out a plan that will either keep you on track through all of the changes and restrictions or help you to get back on the ball so that all of your health objectives are met.
Most facilities and providers are setting plans to provide for their clients and customers to accommodate the unpredictable future. The key to remaining consistent is to have solid plans in place. This means setting a plan A, plan B, and perhaps even a plan C. An enormous amount is on the table for this coming fall and winter; if your gym closes again, what is your plan? If outdoor exercising is not an option due to the weather, what is your plan? Leaving things to chance will significantly increase your chances of falling off of your regimen and will make consistency a big problem.
The key to remaining consistent is to have solid plans in place. This means setting a plan A, plan B, and perhaps even a plan C.
Tip 2: Stay active for both mental and physical health benefits
The rise of stress and anxiety as a result of the uncertainty around COVID-19 has affected everyone in some way. Staying active by exercising helps alleviate stress by releasing chemicals like serotonin and endorphins in your brain. In turn, these released chemicals can help improve your mood and even reduce risk of depression and cognitive decline. Additionally, physical activity can help boost your immune system and provide long term health benefits.
With the new work-from-home norm, it can be easy to bypass how much time you are spending sedentary. Be aware of your sitting time and balance it with activity. Struggling to find ways to stay active? Start simple with activities like going for a walk outside, doing a few reps in exchange for extra Netflix time, or even setting an alarm to move during your workday.
Tip 3: Start slow and strong
If you, like many others during the pandemic shift, have taken some time off of your normal fitness routine, don't push yourself to dive in head first, as this may lead to burnout, injury, and soreness. Plan to start at 50 percent of the volume and intensity of prior workouts when you return to the gym. Inactivity eats away at muscle mass, so rather than focusing on cardio, head to the weights or resistance bands and work on rebuilding your strength.
Be aware of your sitting time and balance it with activity.
Tip 4: If your gym is open, prepare to sanitize
In a study published earlier this year, researchers found drug-resistant bacteria, the flu virus, and other pathogens on about 25 percent of the surfaces they tested in multiple athletic training facilities. Even with heightened gym cleaning procedures in place for many facilities, if you are returning to the gym, ensuring that you disinfect any surfaces before and after using them is key.
When spraying disinfectant, wait a few minutes to kill the germs before wiping down the equipment. Also, don't forget to wash your hands frequently. In an enclosed space where many people are breathing heavier than usual, this can allow for a possible increase in virus droplets, so make sure to wear a mask and practice social distancing. Staying in the know and preparing for new gym policies will make it easy to return to these types of facilities as protocols and mutual respect can be agreed upon.
Tip 5: Have a good routine that extends outside of just your fitness
From work to working out, many routines have faltered during the COVID pandemic. If getting back into the routine seems daunting, investing in a new exercise machine, trainer, or small gadget can help to motivate you. Whether it's a larger investment such as a Peloton, a smaller device such as a Fitbit, or simply a great trainer, something new and fresh is always a great stimulus and motivator.
Make sure that when you do wake up well-rested, you are getting out of your pajamas and starting your day with a morning routine.
Just because you are working from home with a computer available 24/7 doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your entire day to work. Setting work hours, just as you would in the office, can help you to stay focused and productive.
A good night's sleep is also integral to obtaining and maintaining a healthy and effective routine. Adults need seven or more hours of sleep per night for their best health and wellbeing, so prioritizing your sleep schedule can drastically improve your day and is an important factor to staying healthy. Make sure that when you do wake up well-rested, you are getting out of your pajamas and starting your day with a morning routine. This can help the rest of your day feel normal while the uncertainty of working from home continues.
Tip 6: Focus on food and nutrition
In addition to having a well-rounded daily routine, eating at scheduled times throughout the day can help decrease poor food choices and unhealthy cravings. Understanding the nutrients that your body needs to stay healthy can help you stay more alert, but they do vary from person to person. If you are unsure of your suggested nutritional intake, check out a nutrition calculator.
If you are someone that prefers smaller meals and more snacks throughout the day, make sure you have plenty of healthy options, like fruits, vegetables and lean proteins available (an apple a day keeps the hospital away). While you may spend most of your time from home, meal prepping and planning can make your day flow easier without having to take a break to make an entire meal in the middle of your work day. Most importantly, stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water.
Tip 7: Don't forget about your mental health
While focusing on daily habits and routines to improve your physical health is important, it is also a great time to turn inward and check in with yourself. Perhaps your anxiety has increased and it's impacting your work or day-to-day life. Determining the cause and taking proactive steps toward mitigating these occurrences are important.
For example, with the increase in handwashing, this can also be a great time to practice mini meditation sessions by focusing on taking deep breaths. This can reduce anxiety and even lower your blood pressure. Keeping a journal and writing out your daily thoughts or worries can also help manage stress during unpredictable times, too.
While the future of COVI9-19 and our lives may be unpredictable, you can manage your personal uncertainties by focusing on improving the lifestyle factors you can control—from staying active to having a routine and focusing on your mental health—to make sure that you emerge from this pandemic as your same old self or maybe even better.
