I love grocery shopping. I've loved it for as long as I can remember. I'm happy when I have time to really browse up and down each aisle, looking for new things to try. But I understand that most people aren't as smitten with this particular errand. And I don't blame you, especially if you're trying to keep things healthy. It can be really confusing to know what to buy and food marketing certainly doesn't help. So I thought I'd share a few "tiny tweaks" you can make at the grocery store to help you shop a little healthier, without breaking the bank.
1. Try something new! If you've never used an acorn squash, grab one! If you always reach for kale, grab some collard greens. Trying new fruits and vegetables will keep you from getting bored with the same old thing. Find a recipe you love and try adding one new element. Toss some butternut squash into your salad or try a little sliced zucchini in your pasta. You just might find a new favorite.
2. CHECK LABELS! I can't emphasize this enough. I've definitely fallen into the trap of assuming that just because something is organic or marketed as "healthy" that I don't need to check the label. You'd be surprised how many "natural" peanut butters contain high fructose corn syrup or other added sugars. Even if it looks healthy, check the package before tossing it in your cart!
3. Don't stick to your list. Is it a good idea to have a list? Yes. Should you always follow it? No. You might plan on grabbing zucchini but when you get to the grocery store, you find that spaghetti squash is on sale. Can you swap out one squash for another? Could you grab that bag of kale that's on sale, rather than the spinach you planned on getting? Shop the sales and you might be able to get some good discounts! You can also get bargains on produce that is just about to expire. If you know you'll use it soon, snatch it up! If you're on a budget, try these 5 tips for saving money!
4. Check what's in season. In season produce is awesome because not only does it tend to be cheaper, but it'll usually taste a whole lot better! Have you ever noticed that strawberries in the summer taste a million times better than the ones in the winter? There's a reason for that. This website has a handy list of what's in season each time of the year.
These little tweaks can really make a difference! For more tiny tweaks, check out a few of these other ideas!
See? Getting healthier doesn't have to be hard! Little steps can make a big difference.
What are your tips for shopping healthier?

Ignoring everything but numbers
Posted by Rich T on October 08, 2001 6:00 AM
I have a large spreadsheet with multiple formulas and links. I wish to find the average of a row containing some DIV#! cells and some blanks. I've tried SUMIF in conjunction with COUNT, AVERAGEA, etc. but no success. I can not just add a ">0" criteria because I have some negative values and as soon as I use "<>0" the formula includes the DIV#!s and it all goes wrong.
I'd like to make any cells that don't contain a number blank but I don't know how to combine 'IF' statements!
Thanks in advance!

Google announced today that it will encrypt by default Web searches and results for users who are signed in.
People who don't have a Google account or are signed out can go directly to https://www.google.com, the company said in a blog post.
Encrypting the communications between an end user and the Google search engine servers will protect against snooping by anyone who might be sniffing on an unsecured Wi-Fi network, for instance. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is available now for Web search, image search and all the search modes except for Maps, Google said in this separate post.
For example, when you search over SSL for "dogs," Google encrypts the search and results that are returned, but clicking on a result ends the encrypted connection unless the destination is on "https://."
"Although SSL offers clear privacy and security benefits, it does not protect against all attacks. The benefits of SSL depend on your browser's list of trusted root certificates, the security of the organizations that issue those certificates, and the way in which you and your browser handle certificate warnings," Google says. "In addition, while the connection between your computer and Google will be encrypted, if your computer is infected with malware or a keylogger, a third party might also be able to see the queries that you typed directly."
Google began SSL default in Gmail in January 2010 and began offering an encrypted search option four months later.

Here will be the description of the episode. The video will be on the left side. As more uploading happens, I feel this area should be used as a general description section for what these videos are, feature, and more information on where they can be seen at.
Here will be a brief description of the gaming hosts. We can either describe ourselves individually, but will most likely take too much space going through each of us. A good genarilization of each of us is good. A description that talks about us in whole. On the left, will be a photo of the hosts, possibly an animated drawing of them, but a photo would be easy. Social links should be under. The channel and if viewers are interested, other social networks where they can check out our updates on other than here.

If you are a tycoon game enthusiast, prepare yourself for an epic economics and trade game set in an enthralling period in American history. Frontier takes you on an in-depth journey back in time to the Wild West, and the opportunity to choose between a life of dignified trade and nobility, or a life of thrills, spills and petty crime! This is an exhaustive, RPG / tycoon adventure game for high school students and grownups where you have to buy, sell, trade, fight, recruit, and survive as you travel around America in the "good ol' days".
The 'Frontier' is a term used to describe an expanding area in North America during a period in time between the early 17th century and early 20th century which saw the migration westward of settlements of Europeans and their descendants. The 'Wild West' is probably a more commonly used term today to describe this blend of U.S. geography, history, folklore, and cultural change during those centuries. Far from being just a place where pistols were easily drawn at dusk or dawn, the Frontier was an environment of rapid population growth and economic development, and was a catalyst for the formation of the United States. However, that's enough of a history lesson for today! Let's get stuck into the real action and function of the game!
Frontier is essentially a very good business management-style strategy game with some turn-based fighting thrown into the mix! You have to buy and sell goods, food, weapons, vehicles, and more, as you travel from town to town trying to become as successful and prosperous as possible. While you can opt to remain neutral, you can also choose to become a good guy (the Enforcer to finally rid the lands of roaming outlaws), or one of the naughty bad guys (the Buccaneers) along the way. Smart decision making skills, strategic planning and multi-tasking abilities, as well as economic nous are all important attributes to have if you want to survive in this tough landscape, and increase your wealth (money). The choice is yours Partner – remain a small fish in a one horse town, or travel the length and breadth of the nation in search of the American Dream! Either way, it sure is going to be a wild ride!
Want to play the role of Godfather for a day, the masterful Don of a New York crime family, and a shady entrepreneur who leaves nothing to chance? The year is 1929… the new America is gripped by a crippling recession, and alcohol prohibition is dominating the headlines. The only money to be made is in Speakeasys, bribery, and organized crime – and that is where you find yourself! NYC Mafiosi is a dramatic and in-depth tycoon and money management simulation game for teens and grown-ups where you play the role of a very shrewd mafia family business leader. Far from getting your hands dirty, you act as a kind of a business overseer, carefully planning and managing your various bars, shipments, gangsters, bribes, and more on a detailed and dangerous quest to take over all 5 New York City Boroughs!
While this exciting, interactive business and entrepreneurial activity is based on the clearly dubious and corrupt principles of organized crime in the 1920s, real-life business skills centered around good money management, profit-making and logistics can still be honed and learned. To succeed in expanding your family's claim to land beyond your initial borders, you must display shrewd tactics, cunning commercial strategies, and a canny knack for investing in "profitable" enterprises. Building an empire requires ruthlessness, unwavering determination, and great patience when needed.

As part of our Youth Ministry Program this year, we are going to be offering dinner starting at 6:30 pm. We ask that each family in our youth program commit to providing dinner for one week during the year. If every family signs up for just one week, we should be able to cover most weeks. I understand that feeding 50+ people is a lot for one family to handle on their own. Therefore, we do offer the opportunity for families to pair up and work together.
We ask that the family that is signed up for the week, bring the food in no later than 6:15 in order to be set-up and ready to serve by 6:30.
If there are any food allergies I will pass those along for consideration.
If you have any questions, please contact Miss Amanda at email@example.com.
Thank You for your continued support of St. Augustine Youth Ministry!

By far, the weirdest movie my kids have ever seen is "Magical Mystery Tour," which arrives on Blu-ray this week, getting us one step closer to having the full Beatles filmography in high-definition.
It's been so long since I'd seen "Magical Mystery Tour" that I'd forgotten most of it, and for the most part, it's a shaggy, occasionally incoherent collections of largely-improvised scenarios tied together loosely with a storyline about Ringo and his Aunt Jessie (Jessie Robbins) on a bus tour together. McCartney was the key creative talent behind the camera, and there's a sense in much of the movie that Lennon, Harrison, and even Starr are just indulging McCartney. If nothing else, some of the acting in the film should serve as proof that it is not easy to just "make it up" while you're on set.
Having said that, I think the film is tremendously watchable, and the soundtrack on this Blu-ray is worth the purchase price all by itself. They're doing a great job with these high-def presentations, and it is entirely fitting that the work done to remaster the music is where the most effort appears to have been expended. "Yellow Submarine" is one of those discs that I use to show off how well Blu-ray can reproduce an analog presentation. There are scenes on that discs where it looks like you're looking at the actual cel layout, where you can see the textures of the animated images and the backgrounds, and the sonic landscapes on both discs sound like they were recorded and mastered today.
And now you can own the deluxe version of the disc, and all you need is a Facebook account:
So you get the DVD, the Blu-ray, a 60-page collector's book, and a faithful reproduction of the mono double 7″ vinyl EP of the film's six new Beatles songs, originally issued in the UK to complement the film's 1967 release.
Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me. If you don't win, I still urge you to pick up the disc, and then cross your fingers that we finally get "Let It Be" next year. Beatles fans should be celebrating the way these releases have been handled so far.
"Magical Mystery Tour" is in stores now.

A Vampire is a Dark Fae who feeds off human blood.
Character arc
The only vampire seen in the series has been Siegfried. Vex tortured and killed him for selling Dark Fae secrets.
Siegfried appeared to have enhanced strength. However, judging by the fact that Bo grabbed Siegfried by the throat and he seemed afraid of her, he was apparently not much stronger than her. He also seemed to have a heightened resistance to injury: Bo found him hanging from a noose from the ceiling, but when she approached him he simply awoke and lifted himself out, showing that the noose had not hurt him.
Unlike stereotypical vampires, Siegfried was seen in the sunlight inside his apartment and did not seem to be harmed by it.
In Lost Girl: The Game
Vampires are mythical beings who subsist by feeding on the life essence (generally in the form of blood) of living creatures. In folkloric tales, undead vampires often visited loved ones and caused mischief or deaths in the neighbourhoods they inhabited when they were alive. They were markedly different from the gaunt, pale vampire which dates from the early 1800s. Although vampiric entities have been recorded in most cultures, the term vampire was not popularised until the early 18th century, after an influx of vampire superstition into Western Europe from areas where vampire legends were frequent, such as the Balkans and Eastern Europe. It is Bram Stoker's 1897 novel "Dracula" which is remembered as the quintessential vampire novel and provided the basis of the modern vampire legend.[1]

About the website
Getselfhelp.co.uk / Get.gg
This website started out as "mindinfo.co.uk" in 2000 primarily for in-patients of Albecq Ward (where I was working at the time) and other service users at the Castel Hospital, including the Day Centre, in Guernsey (Channel Islands). Service users often asked where they could find information about various conditions or treatment. I developed a list of relevant websites, but I decided it would be far easier to direct them to one webpage, which contained the links to all those other sites. So "mindinfo" was born.
The website has grown steadily over the years, and was rebranded as "get.gg" in 2008 when Mind (the UK national mental health charity) requested that I change the name of the site. I used that opportunity to completely overhaul the site to reflect the changes in my own practice. The more descriptive web domain name "getselfhelp.co.uk" was added in 2009 when the focus moved towards self-help and therapist resources.
Gradually, since September 2009, I've added the downloads section, and am continually developing and adding to the site. My main source of support for the website has been my friend and colleague Michelle Ayres. Together we have completed: The Decider: A Skills Manual, for which we were awarded the British Journal of Nursing's Mental Health Nurse of the year in March 2015.
The website resources are firmly grounded in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy which has an impressive evidence base. Many examples or ways of explaining have arisen from my own work with clients.

About Me
I initially qualified as a registered general nurse in 1981 (Dorset), then as a mental health nurse in 1985 (Exeter). I moved back home to Guernsey after a couple of years teaching sailing in Dartmouth, and have since worked mostly in adult acute mental health settings, using a variety of psychotherapeutic techniques, in individual and group work.
Most of my professional practice is in Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapy (Certificate in CBT, Salford Cognitive Therapy Training Centre 2006 & post-graduate Diploma in Cognitive Therapy for Severe Mental Health Problems, University of Southampton 2007/8). During the same period, I completed an Advanced Diploma in Nursing Studies (Mental Health) with University of Derby (2006-8).
I also have practitioner-level qualifications in Hypnotherapy (Insight Natural Health, GHR), Meridian Energy Therapies (Association of Meridian Energy Therapies), and Eye-Movement Desensitisation & Reprocessing (EMDR) (EMDR Workshops), and have completed brief courses in Solution Focused Therapy, Life Coaching, and Colour Therapy.
I am registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) and General Hypnotherapy Register (GHR), and accredited by the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP).
I am employed as a Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist with Guernsey's HSC (our NHS equivalent), previously in secondary care, and now with an IAPT-based primary care service. I spent a year in France 2012-2013 and I am therefore also registered with the AFTCC (the French CBT association - equivalent to BABCP) as a "membre Actif".
I am married to Malcolm, and have three children. Malcolm is a retired teacher (music), and he now works part time as the Trinity College of Music representative for music examinations, and as a piano teacher and hypnotherapist.
Josh (Cottam) is 30 and the composer of all the music used with our mp3 files (BA Hons Music Composition from Dartington College of Arts / University of Falmouth). In 2011, he won a world-wide composing competition at Abbey Road Studios. Josh plays organ, piano, harmonica, drum kit and orchestral percussion. He is the timpani & percussion principal with the Bristol Symphony Orchestra, enjoys compassionate clowning and is a support worker in Bristol.
Naomi (Cottam) is 28 and completed a Philosophy degree at UWE Bristol, then a masters in Psychology at the University of Bristol. She trained as Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner in Colchester and worked as a PWP in Bristoluntil summer 2017. See Naomi's YouTube video about Bristol Wellbeing Therapies. She is now a trainee clinical psychologist at Plymouth University, working in Cornwall. In her spare time, she loves drawing, creative arts, and plays piano, guitar and cello.
Rosie is the youngest at 13 years old. She loves our three cats, volunteers at the local animal shelter, and plays violin and bassoon.
My mum, Molly Bihet, is the author of 4 books about the German Occupation of Guernsey 1940-1945: Bihet.com. My dad, André Bihet, died in November 2010. His parents were French which has influenced my love of France.
I enjoy cycling everywhere on a variety of different bikes, including beautiful vintage French road bikes, an electric bike (pedelec), often with trailer, and a tandem. I try to find time for reading, visiting France, music (I am the least competent musician in the family) and maintaining various websites!

Clinical Development
It's Life Science, not just business. Your technology will directly impact people's health and well-being.
It could extend life ... sustain quality or lifestyle ... reduce the cost of care for patients or providers ... increase diagnostic accuracy ... reduce the workload of caregivers ... in short, improve the delivery and state of human health.
We advise developers, funders and acquirers of Life Science technologies, on next steps in scientific and clinical development that will directly or indirectly impact commercial viability.
Our principals have many decades' experience advising individuals and companies in:
- Preclinical concept testing for prospective commercial interest
- Pipeline acquisition: platform strategy and target optimization
- Differentiation strategies based on mechanism, indication, population, dosing, endpoints
- Phase II and III trial design: populations, comparators, endpoints, outcomes
- Clinical and patient-reported outcomes measures to include in trials
- Commercial stop rules (go/no-go decisions) during clinical development
- Cannibalization & impact on existing franchise
- Efficacy, adverse events and administration criteria
- Dosing and delivery system refinement for orals, injectables, other
Clinical directions are informed by commercial realities. Strategies that consider both are central to our client partnerships.
We've developed research-informed commercial and clinical strategies for everyone from start-ups to mid-size firms to the largest healthcare companies in the world. We're entrepreneurs ourselves, and we understand the convergence of science and business.

My "Imagine"… Canvas
Hello Crafters and welcome to Blanket Stitch, today I am going to take you through my most recent make, my "Imagine" Canvas.
I was sitting down thinking just what I could make when this came into my head, I wanted to make something for my room, to place just above my bed, and I also wanted something to enter in to the Our Creative Corner Challenge!
First up, I grabbed my canvas (from The Works for a couple of pound) and pulled out my acrylic paints and got to work on making a nice pink to work with. The colour I originally thought I would go for in my head was a pale baby pink, but when this colour came out from the mixing I couldn't resist keeping it, I think you'll agree its lovely!
I found this old piece of ribbon in my stash and glued it down one side of the canvas.
Next I added this cute little string flower onto the top of the ribbon.
For this part of the canvas I cut some card into a square, then blended Victorian Velvet and Frayed Burlap Distress Ink. I then used my Tim Holtz stamp and stamped it onto the card using Archival Ink. I then edged the card with Vintage Photo Distress Ink. Then I glued it and stuck it on to the canvas.
Using my letter tiles to spell the word 'Love' I first used Victorian Velvet and Frayed Burlap Distress Ink over the tiles and then attached them to the top of the canvas at an angle.
On a cream piece of paper I used Vintage Photo Distress Ink and stamped a music stamp on to it. The curling was just a mistake, but I think you'll agree it ended up looking good! I then glued this onto the canvas.
Using a tag that I found in my craft cupboard, I used Worn Lipstick Distress Ink and attached it half hanging off of the canvas. Then I added three flower die cuts stamped with Victorian Velvet and Frayed Burlap, and then edged with Vintage Photo Distress Inks. Next I added a paper rose which I used a Distress Paint on (sorry I don't know which one).
I then added another few flowers, as above, and stuck them to the canvas. I then knotted a piece of string and used this as the centre piece for the flowers.
Here is the finished piece, I am really please with how it turned out!
Let me know in the comments below what you think, I would love your feed back!

The past tugs on the present. Plastic braids steal my curls. And I'm not different anymore. Swimming in the sheets. Steering the pillows. Watching everyone else running under their checkered flags.
I hate these pit stops. How long they take.
The truth is there is no truth. Only the geometry of choices. The angles that determine where we'll meet. The distance and the arc in our trust.
I will be the rook and you can be the knight.
Checkmate something. Anything that isn't us.
Following the curve of the clover. Measuring the length of the ark by the depth of the flood.
It's always raining. Always.
But it still rains more when I don't know where you are.
Sometimes I will try to look. But there's so much distance.
I know what we are. Every wrinkle in this leather skin as we peel it off the steer.
The bubbles know. Friday's almost here. It never listens. Or even tries to.

Hiking/Bicycle Mount Desert Island abounds in Hiking Trails. There is an extensive trail system within Acadia National Park. The Mountains are not high, and the bare, open peaks offer breathtaking views. The Carriage Roads in the National Park offer miles of biking fun.
Golf There are three golf courses on Mount Desert Island.... Causeway, a nine hole course, is only 4 miles away in Southwest Harbor. Northeast, 18 holes, is across the Island in Northeast Harbor. Keebo, the oldest in the Northeast, 18 holes of superb play. is located just outside Bar Harbor.
Bird Watching/Photography Mount Desert Island is home to an astonishing diversity of birds and is a popular destination for bird-watching enthusiasts. A checklist of birds in Acadia National Park lists 326 species present at some time over the years, either as summer or winter residents, transients, or rare visitors. Photographers have an unlimited amount of spectacular scenery to practice their specialty on. It seems that around every bend there is another "picture postcard" waiting to be immortalized. Bring all your cameras and plenty of film.
Museums The Oceanarium in Southwest Harbor and Bar Harbor are activities not to be missed. Here you can handle ocean critters and see them close-up. The kids will make faces and funny sounds when handed a wriggling lobster or star fish, but they will love it.... and never forget the experience! The Gilley Museum of Carved Decoys is an outstanding presentation of the work of a Southwest Harbor carver.
Restaurants Maine is known world-wide for its Lobster. The Lobsters caught in the cold, nutrient-rich waters off Mt. Desert Island are the most succulent to be found along the entire coastline! In spite of the fact that early settlers often rebelled at having to eat Lobster all the time, our visitors today can't seem to get enough of them. The many Restaurants on the Island are only minutes from the Campground. Most serve "Land-Lubber" dishes also, but Lobster is King!

Trinity welcomed one of the world's foremost Egyptologists to campus on Wednesday, Feb. 15 to speak about her recent discoveries at Abydos, one of the most ancient cities in Upper Egypt. Associate Professor of Classics Martha Risser introduced Dr. Janet Richards, who was "deliriously happy to be back in New England." The program was organized by Trinity's Classics Department and the Hartford Society of the Archeological Institute of America.
Richards is currently an Associate Professor of Egyptology in the Near Eastern Studies Department and Associate Curator for Dynastic Egypt at the Kelsey Museum at the University of Michigan. She has been the Field Director at the Abydos Middle Cemetery Project in Egypt since 1995, where her most notable achievement was the discovery of the lost tomb of Weni the Elder, one of the king's officials, and his lengthy biography. Richards has published books about architecture, art, and society in ancient Egypt. Her most recent publication is titled Order, Legitimacy, and Wealth in Ancient States.
Before diving into her presentation, titled "People, Politics, and Piety in Ancient Egypt," Richards told her listeners she wanted to "bring [them] into the process of discovery." She situated her findings from the sixth dynasty of ancient Egypt, around 2300 B.C., during the reign of King Pepi I. The great pyramids were built at Giza about a century earlier, during the fourth dynasty.
She explained that around this time three major changes occurred in Egyptian society; Pepi I began a new political project, there was a religious shift in the role of the god Osiris, and there was a change in the location and scale of the tombs of government officials, and all these changes seem to be related to the region of Abydos. According to Richards, she and her team have used textural data, visual data, patterning, and "quite literally fitting together puzzle pieces" with bits of pottery to create a theory of how and why these changes were related, and what they explain about human behavior in the period.
Next Richards described the ways in which the ancient Egyptians kept records of the achievements of their kings. The records they did create were quite detailed, and showed a profound difference in the way kings of the sixth dynasty were interacting with the population in comparison to previous dynasties. The use of the pyramid text also became prominent during dynasty six; these were religious texts carved on the walls of the tombs of prominent members of the community to ensure their smooth passing into the afterlife.
In her study of Pepi I's pyramid texts, Richards found that the number of references to the god Osiris and the city of Abydos greatly exceeded that of any prior pyramid texts. The wording and ideas concerning Osiris and Abydos in the texts led her to the idea that the Egyptians believed that Osiris, who was a man before he became a god, was buried somewhere in Abydos. The increased mentions of Osiris were also significant because it was during this time that Abydos was undergoing a transition in the chief god of the region from Khentiamentiu to Osiris. Richards pointed out that this is most apparent in the inscriptions inside the tomb of Iuu, Weni the Elder's father. In his inscriptions Osiris is mentioned 12 times, and Iuu's death corresponds with the moment in which Osiris was taking over as god of the region. Osiris is not mentioned as much in Weni's tomb, for by the time he died the transition was complete.
Richards and her team also found other ways that the burial sites of Iuu and Weni were unique and important to the period. The father and son are buried on the lower desert plateau at Abydos, an area considered sacred, and thus remained underdeveloped, for hundreds of years before the sixth dynasty. When tombs were built there during Pepi I's reign, they were significantly different from other burial sites in Abydos and much more similar to the structure and placement of kings' pyramids.
According to Richards, the tomb shafts are much deeper than the surrounding ones, the tombs are square like pyramids, and the positions of Iuu's and Weni's tombs in relation to each other mimic the placement of the tombs of the kings that they served. They also replicate the pattern utilized by the kings buried in Giza during the fourth dynasty. Richards believes these relationships are key to understanding Pepi I's political decision to send his officials further from him geographically than other kings had done in the past.
At the end of the talk, Richards stressed that her work is still an ongoing process, and she admitted multiple times throughout her presentation that she had come up with some of her ideas on her plane ride to Connecticut the previous night.

You've got to see this! Rosie exercising with John. Tess captured it on video. That dog! She's such a good sport. Something you need to know is that John tucked Rosie's frisbee under his shirt hoping that would keep her on his back as he did his pushups. An extra twenty pounds makes a better workout!

BIG WIN! On Tuesday September 25, 2018, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana decided that a federal regulation to develop fin fish farms offshore in the Gulf of Mexico was invalid. Green Justice attorney Marianne Cufone was local counsel and both GJ attorneys Emily Posner and Sascha Bollag participated in the case over the years.
The federal rules challenged by the lawsuit focused on the Gulf of Mexico, but also could have paved the way for fish farm permits all around the U.S. The Court ruled that existing fisheries management laws were never intended to regulate aquaculture (the farming of fish in pens or cages in offshore marine waters), concluding that the Department of Commerce "acted outside of its statutory authority…"

Can you produce safe, high quality toys in China?
Definitely. We all want the best for our little ones which is why a good deal of skepticism is appropriate when it comes to their playmates. Yet, a few negative headlines seem to have clouded the fact that China is a great place to make toys. The Design company Flarwo is an excellent example of a company that places great value on quality and safety while having their products pass a stress test. All of this was done in at a Chinese factory with our supervision. The outcome looks like this:
The motto of this toy collection is 'back to the basics'. Inspired by toys from their childhood, the two founders created a set of different wooden animals that engage in the form of a puzzle. They remind us that less is more even when it comes to sparking creativity in children. The Flarwo duo decided to avoid plastic and other materials usually found in toys, while securing that the products come at maximum robustness. This makes these little animals a companion for childhood – perhaps even adulthood.
Flarwo has just launched their new website where you can browse all animals and read more about their CSR approach and purchasing. Interested? Find it right here: Flarwo

Success does leave clues Steven Johnson Grocerant Guru® at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions® has continually pointed out over the past several years that empowering consumer choice around grocerant niche Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh food would garner incremental customer transactions, larger share of food dollars, and larger share of stomach.
If legacy restaurant brands are going to survive or thrive they will new a new electricity to drive incremental top line sales and bottom line profits with new strategic partnerships. According to Johnson; partnerships specifically strategic partnerships will be driving retail success in 2018.
Johnson stated "in my minds-eye the new electricity must be very efficient for the supply chain and includes such things as digital hand held marketing, local fresh food, grocerant consultants, urban farming (produce, seafood, etc.), autonomous delivery, cashier-less retail, cash-less payments, delivery, and voice ordering.
Grocery store Service Deli's and Chain Restaurants to survive the next generation of retail must embrace the artificial intelligence revolution while simultaneously embracing fresh food that is portable, fresh, with differentiation that is familiar but with a twist. Johnson had identified 9 foodservice undercurrents driving both retail food consumers migration and adoption. Here they are:
1. Evolve or Fade Away: Increased completion had elevated the blurring of retail channels expanding foodservice fragmentation. According to a study by Deloitte, consumers on average shop at four to five different types of stores to fulfill their grocery needs. Foodservice Solutions® team has found increased SKU's of grocerant fresh food at restaurants, online Meal Kits, drug stores, dollar stores, supercenters, discount, specialty, convenience, club stores and Mobile e-commerce 'home' stores.
2. Ethnic Melting Pot: The US Census reports the undercurrents of our evolving demographics will continue broaden, expanding the population of "multicultural consumers." In fact in a new Nielsen study found that the "buying power from the Hispanic, Asian and African-American populations will be 17% of a $4.2 trillion market. The Melting Pot of opportunity is overflowing with grocerant niche success points according to the team Looking A Customer Ahead at Tacoma, WA based Foodservice Solutions®.
3. Halo of 'Better-for-You': Consumer tell us that grocerant niche Ready-2-Eat and Heat-N-Eat fresh prepared food is 'better-for-them' as the halo includes not doing dishes or cooking from scratch. Acosta found that "nearly one-third of shoppers surveyed considered leaving a store if fresh and healthy options were not available."
5. Customization and Personalization: Retailers the ilk of Green Zebra Grocery, EveryTable, and Wegmans continue to attract loyal customers with convenience, quality, value, and customer service. Customization and personalization via mix and match meal component bundling are hallmarks of success found within the grocerant niche according to the Grocerant Guru®. Restaurants continue capitulating customers as consumers seek fresh food in non-traditional fresh food retail outlets that are becoming more of a priority.
6. Price and Private label: Trader Joe's private label products have the 'halo of better-for-you' according to non-client information aggraded from over 8,116 Grocerant ScoreCards. A recent Nielsen/PLMA study, sales of private label products generated a record $120 billion last year, and continued to outpace national brands. Trader Joe's, Aldi, Lidl will continue to increase market share leveraging price and quality private label foods.
7. Hand Held Marketing: Mobile smart phones continue to garner adopting in fact according Nielsen 85% of Millennials have a smart phone. Consumers of all ages continue to embrace digital technology and social media as a means to connect and communicate about food or when looking for food. A recent study showed that 37% of shoppers use their mobile devices in store for comparing prices, searching for product information, or checking product availability.
8. Mini Meals at Mini Locations: Rent is expensive and more and more retailers have no locations or smaller locations virtual dining from a home or local kitchen is a growing trend. According to a Package Facts study, even the average square footage of supermarkets has fallen since 2006 and is now approximately 46,000 sq. ft. Even smaller size formats of 25,000 sq. ft. or less, modeled by chains like Trader Joe's, Aldi's and Lidl, have proven to be successful.
9. The Price Value Service Equilibrium is Resetting: Foodservice Solutions® team identified, quantified and qualified a new formula for the foodservice Price, Value, Service, Equilibrium. That formula can be found with this link. Consumers are dynamic not static and food retailers must evolve their brands to both maintain and garner consumers frequency levels.
