text: Try These 14 Sustainable Solutions In Your Facility 10/11/2018 | By Kate Cripe The Hawai'i Convention Center is celebrating its recent Gold certification in LEED v4 O+M: Existing Buildings by launching the Hoʻomaluō Program, a comprehensive approach to environmental sustainability with the goal of enhancing the guest, planner, staff and community meetings and events experience. Hoʻomaluō, which means "to conserve; to use or manage wisely" in the Hawaiian language, celebrates the center's recent award of LEED v4 O+M: Existing Buildings Gold Certification by the U.S. Green Building Council. The Hawai'i Convention Center is the first and only public assembly building of its kind to earn LEED v4 O+M: Existing Buildings Gold in the U.S., and is the only LEED v.4 O+M Gold project in Hawai'i.

The sails allow Hawaii's trade winds to circulate throughout the building, providing passive air conditioning and venting excess heat out of the building naturally. "At the Hawai'i Convention Center, our guests, planners, staff and communities have come together for more than two decades to preserve, protect and enhance the natural beauty of the Hawaiian Islands," says Teri Orton, general manager of the Hawai'i Convention Center. 14 Sustainable Solutions Inside, a host of sustainable solutions ensures that the convention center performs efficiently and keeps guests comfortable. Here are 14 they used: 1. The building management system monitors electricity use and pre-cools meeting rooms according to programmed meeting start and end times. The lights turn off whenever meeting room activity stops. Lighting and air conditioning in the back-of-house areas are turned off during weekends and holidays. 2. A smaller jockey chiller with lower capacity replaced the original larger chillers. It can provide efficient cooling during periods with reduced loads. 3. Lighting retrofits replaced inefficient lighting in the ballroom, exhibition halls, parking areas and back-of-the-house offices and hallways with more efficient configurations and lamp types. 4. Variable frequency drives on large equipment adjusts motor speeds as needed. 5. Touchless technology, including sink faucets with sensors and automatic dispensers for hand towels, hand soap and hand sanitizer, reduces restroom supply demands. 6. Low-flow toilets and urinals and low-flow aerators for sinks and showers reduce the center's water use. 7. The landscape utilizes xeriscaping and drip irrigation to minimize the water requirements for the grounds. 8. Staff members use self-pedal bicycles, electric carts and propane-powered lifts to get around. That reduces the center's use of petroleum products and also improves air quality. 9. Electric vehicles have designated EV parking, as well as a charging station that both guests and staff can use. 10. Staff collect and sort glass, plastic, aluminum, paper and cardboard through the center's comprehensive recycling program. Meeting rooms, public areas, convention offices and all food and beverage stations feature recycling receptacles to make participation easy. 11. Green waste left over from landscaping is composted and recycled into mulch. 12. The housekeeping, landscaping, engineering and food and beverage departments purchase eco-friendly chemicals. 13. Procurement policies take ENERGY STAR ratings and other industry certifications into consideration when it's time to upgrade equipment and appliances. Sustainable building materials are also included in the selection process for all capital improvement projects. 14. The single-use food and beverage service ware is biodegradable and compostable. "At the Hawai'i Convention Center, our guests, planners, staff and communities have come together for more than two decades to preserve, protect and enhance the natural beauty of the Hawaiian Islands," says Teri Orton, general manager of the Hawai'i Convention Center. "This LEED certification nationally recognizes the dedicated work of our staff to make our Hoʻomaluō Program a reality. Since our opening 20 years ago, the Hawai'i Convention Center has been deeply committed to a multifaceted approach to environmental conservation that inspires everything we do and touches everyone we serve." The holistic Hoʻomaluō Program encompasses the center's work to conserve and reuse resources; maintain a high quality of operations, such as climate, guest comfort and building design; and pay careful attention to reducing waste throughout each stage in the event process. [Related: Zero Waste Tips for Event Venues] It formally kicks off in conjunction with the 2018 American Dental Association (ADA) – America's Dental Meeting, held Oct. 18-22. The 1.1 million-square-foot center will host over 15,000 registrants from 46 countries for the meeting, which is expected to generate an estimated $70.8 million in statewide visitor spending. The American Dental Association has also committed to reforesting 100 legacy trees through the Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative, a nonprofit organization that has led the reforestation of more than 340,000 endemic tress on Hawai'i Island. The Hawai'i Convention Center has committed to planting 1 million native trees across the state. "As contributing members of our community, both professional and personal, we are always working to give back to the public," said Jeffrey M. Cole, D.D.S, ADA president-elect. "Our organization's vision is helping the public achieve optimal health, so it made sense to participate in this effort. The Hawaiian Legacy Reforestation Initiative and Hawai'i Convention Center offer a unique opportunity to offset our carbon footprint in traveling here and to help keep the islands that we love pristine and picturesque for years to come."

Sons of Women. Films reviewed: Good Men, Good Women: The Films of Hou Hsiao-hsien, The Boys from Fengkuei, Flowers of Shanghai, PLUS Seventh Son
Hi, this is Daniel Garber at the Movies for culturalmining.com and CIUT 89.5 FM.
Hou Hsiao-Hsien was born in Canton, China in 1947. His family fled to Taiwan with the Nationalists when he was just an infant. Since then he has emerged as one of postwar Taiwan's most famous directors (along with Ang Lee and Tsai Mingliang).
His movies tell a fragmented history of his country, one story at a time. He deals with ordinary, working-class people, often dislocated and trying to make their way. His characters struggle with differences of language, status, age, class and money. But his films also includes love, sex, jealousy, conformity and insecurity.
Most of his films take place in Taiwan, though there are some exceptions, such as Flight of the Red Balloon (France) or Café Lumière (Japan). The times range from the 19th Century (Flowers of Shanghai), to the 1940s (City of Sadness), to the present day, or even in three eras simultaneously (Three Times).
Some critics call him one of the most important and influential directors, anywhere, comparing the style he helped pioneer – the Taiwanese New Wave — to movements like the French New Wave and Italian Neorealism. He's known for his minimalism, slow pace, long takes and an avoidance of quick editing and obvious special effects.
More often than not, he sets up a nicely-arranged tableau and lets the action take place within that frame. Sort of like a stage play but within a shifting proscenium arch.
Well, there's a retrospective playing this month in Toronto called Good Men, Good Women: The Films of Hou Hsiao-hsien. It was put together by Richard I. Suchenski, Amber Wu and Teresa Huang and is on a world tour. The series projects pristine prints, rarely seen.
This week I'm looking at two of Hou Hsiao-hsien's movies. One's an early film about good men, the other a later film about good women. And, in keeping with my commitment to highbrow/ lowbrow films, I'm also reviewing a fantasy-drama about a medieval guy who hunts for witches… but ends up falling in love with one.
The Boys from Fengkuei (1983)
Three small-town boys — Ah Ching and his two friends — live in a tiny windswept island off the coast of Taiwan. They should be doing their homework but they'd rather be outside gambling and carousing. But after a big fight goes wrong they flee to an abandoned seaside shack. They make their way to Kaohsiung, a big city on the main island. But they soon find life in the big city is not what they expected. They get poorly paid jobs, and their money making ventures – like selling tapes on the street – don't earn them much money. Their parents expect them to return home to work at an easy factory job. And they soon find themselves victims of conmen, gangsters and sophisticated city folk. But can they find true love in the big city?
I found this movie fascinating, not just because of its realistic coming-of-age portrait of life in Taiwan. It also goes against what I thought was Hou Hsiao-hsien's directing style: slow, stationary, and dominated by long takes of seated conversations. This movie has fights and chase scenes, crowds and a lot of movement. As programmer Richard I. Suchenski pointed out in his introductory lecture on Hou (Jan 29, 2015), The Boys of Fengkuei fits closely within his oeuvre. It shares the long takes, carefully composed scenes and the stationary, framed shots of his later films.
Flowers of Shanghai (1998)
It's late 19th century Shanghai. Rich men hang out in the entertainment parlours, gambling, drinking, smoking opium and courting the courtesans there. These entertainers the so-called flowers of Shanghai. are known for their beauty and poise. They are carefully trained from an early age, brought up inside the houses. They have their own servants, and answer to the middle aged "auntie" the Madams who rule the business. They cultivate relationships with the rich men who visit them gradually saving up the money they earn. Eventually, they either marry their favourite boyfriend or purchase their independence outright and set up their own businesses. This line of work was one of the few allowing girls to advance from penniless orphan to rich, powerful and socially advanced woman.
The scenes alternate from the men all drinking and dining at a common table to the interiors of the individual houses and the women behind closed doors. The stories are simple: women in rival houses competing for the lovesick but fickle male patrons; discussions of their worth and wealth — both the businessmen and the women; and anger over arranged marriages and love.
In this movie the camera slowly pans back and forth but almost never cuts away from the scene in each brothel. The lighting has a golden glow, generated from the oil lamps on set (portraying scenes without electric lighting). What I found most fascinating was the language – you rarely get to hear dialogue spoken in Shanghainese – another example of Hou Hsiao-hsien's commitment to realism. This is a beautiful film but like many if his movies, one that requires concentration and commitment to appreciate.
And on a entirely different note…
The Seventh Son
Dir: Sergei Bodrov
It's the dark ages in Europe, a time of dragons, knights and witches. Tom (Ben Barnes) is a young man who slops the pigs at his remote family farm. There's gotta be something better than this, he thinks. So when Gregory – an odd man with a pointy yellow beard – comes by seeking an apprentice, Tom jumps at the chance. Gregory (Jeff Bridges) is a knight and (like Tom) is the seventh son of a seventh son which gives him special powers and a sense of commitment. He's an arrogant, foul-mouthed alcoholic. He's also a Spook, a man who fights the creatures of darkness. He promises to teach Tom how to fight these demons and witches. Tom can't wait. But before he leaves, his mother places a special charm around his neck that she says will protect him from evil.
The first witch he encounters is Alice (Swedish actress Alicia Vikander) – a beautiful young woman. And when they first hold hands sparks fly… literally! A blue flame shoots out from their hands. Hmmm… But what he doesn't know is she works as a spy for Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore). Mother Malkin is the evil queen a witch who can turn herself into a dragon. And when the red moon rises, something that happens only once a century, she and her evil cronies plan to take over the world. Will the knights beat the witches and slay the dragons? Or will Tom be slain like all the other apprentices that proceeded him? And what about Alice… is she a good witch or a bad witch?
The Seventh Son is an OK fantasy with a very predictable plot too much CGIs, very long battle scenes, and bad Twilight-style romantic element. There are at least four cliffhangers in this movie – and I mean people literally hanging onto or falling off of cliffs. I guess that's what you get with 3D and IMAX as the main attractions. Jeff Bridges emotes wildly, Julianne Moore is wonderful as the evil queen, while Ben Barnes is a dull leading man. Most interesting thing is the sets. The women (a.k.a. the evil witches) live in a celebration of Orientalism, replete with Persian rugs, lapis lazuli tiling, and geometric screens. They recline on pillows beside incense burners. The men all dress in rough-hewn burlap and carry rusty swords. The battle of the sexes told in 100 minutes in 3-D.
Seventh Son opens today in Toronto—check your local listings; and the films of Hou Hsiao-hsien: Good Men, Good Women continue all this month at the TIFF Bell Lightbox. Go to tiff.net for times.

Cracks in the Foundation. The Continent, Rocks in my Pockets, Rosewater
Hi, this is Daniel Garber at the Movies for culturalmining.com and CIUT 89.5 FM.
From far away, porcelain looks smooth, shiny and flawless, but look too close and fine cracks appear. This week, I'm looking at movies that expose the cracks in faraway Latvia, China and Iran. There's an Iranian man who wants to leave prison; three Chinese men who want to leave their island, and a Latvian woman who, at times, wants to leave life altogether.
The Continent
Dir: Han Han
Three young men have lived their lives on a tiny, windswept island off the east coast of China. But they decide it's time to check out the continent. Like in the classic Chinese novel, they set out on a "Journey to the West. They each have a different reason. Jianghe (Chen Bolin [陈柏霖], who also starred in Buddha Mountain [觀音山] — read my review here) a school teacher an"d eternal optimist, is transferred by the government to a remote location far, far away. Haohan (Feng Shaofeng [冯绍峰]) is a blustering young man dying to see the world. He longs to stand on a determined mountaintop and shout to the world about the size of his dick. And he has a childhood pen-pal Yingying (Yolanda Yuan [袁泉]), a pretty girl he'll finally meet face to face. And true love will soon follow. Their third friend, Hu Sheng, is mentally challenged, and depends on the other two to tell him what to do.
But they soon discover life outside their tiny island is bewildering and confusing. They stumble onto a movie set in WWII. And at their first hotel Jianghe is approached by an escort named Sumi, immediately followed by knocks on the door from aggressive police. Bewildered, he plays the hero, busting out through a barred window and "saving" Sumi from a fate worse than death. Or so he thinks. And a sketchy, Cantonese hitchhiker helps them with their navigating – but can he be trusted? Maybe not, in a place where anything that you don't hold onto with both hands when you gp to sleep will likely be gone by morning. But it's also a country with stunning and empty vast vistas, rockets flying to outer-space, and cool and savvy people at every turn.
The Continent is writer-director Han Han's (韩寒) first film, but he's far from unknown. His blog is the best-known one in China which automatically makes him one of the most famous people in the world. This is not just a simple, picaresque road movie. It's also a slyly humorous — if bleak — cautionary tale about life in contemporary China.
Rocks in My Pockets
Wri/Dir Signe Baumane
Signe is a Brooklyn artist, originally from Latvia, with a hidden family past. She wants to find out the truth behind the family matriarch, her late grandmother. On the surface, she was a preternaturally hard-worker, known for her Sisyphean feat of carrying endless buckets of water up a steep mountain. She had retreated to a backwoods cabin with her husband, an eccentric entrepreneur, to escape the difficulties of life in the city. But, after a bit of digging, Signe discovers a streak of depression, suicide and mental illness in her family stretching back three generations. The title refers to her grandmother's attempted suicide by drowning – she was unsuccessful because she forgot to fill her pocket with rocks. Even if the mind wants to end it all, the body – until the last breath — will fight against dying. At the same time, Signe realizes that the many children and grandchildren managed to survive and succeed despite harsh time. In this film, Riga is imagined as a place with enormous human faces on their buildings, within a country filled with animistic creatures with long tails, dog ears and goggly eyes that lurk everywhere, just out of sight.
Her odd family history is portrayed in a series of short, animated episodes, using panels of sketched characters moving against brightly-tinted backgrounds. These are interspersed with super-imposed stop-motion images made of rope and papier-mache figurines. This giuves the whole movie an unusual three-dimensional feel, combining classic drawing with computer-manipulated mixes. And omnipresent is the wry and funny –though at times grating – voice of the narrator telling and commenting on her family history. The director shows the deleterious effects of Soviet era psychiatry – one where cures consist of medicinal corrections to chemical imbalances – and how it makes some people long to "erase themselves" and ceasing to exist. A poignant, fascinating and great animated feature.
Dir: Jon Stewart
Maziar Bahari (Gael Garcia Bernal) is an Iranian-Canadian journalist based in London. He lives there with his beautiful (and pregnant) wife. He is assigned to cover the upcoming elections in Iran, but quickly runs unto trouble as soon as he arrives. He quickly makes friends with a politically active and sympathetic taxi driver who takes him to areas fertile with dissent. But after witnessing a potentially explosive event he is arrested. His charge? Spying.
Ironically, a comic TV interview he had given to an American comedian on the Daily Show is used as evidence of his wrong doing. He is quickly thrown into solitary confinement in a notorious prison. He is psychologically tortured until — says the warden — his will is broken and he will lose all hope.
His family, it turns out, is no stranger to death and imprisonment for political views under earlier regimes. Both his father and his sister had gone through it, and appear, in his mind, to convince him to hold on. But will he make it?
Rosewater is Jon Stewart's first film, and it shows it. Stewart is known for the brilliant and funny The Daily Show that skewers mass media from a left-ish perspective. But a feature film is not a three-minute sketch. The movie starts out great with exciting scenes of news-gatering, but it starts to drag, heavily, once it moves to the prison. While it conveys the loneliness and suffering, solitary confinement does not make for good cinema. Bernal and the supporting actors are fine, but the buffoonish prison guard and the sinister administrator seem too much like the evil twins of Schultz and Klink to take seriously.
The Continent played at the ReelAsian Film Festival which continues for another week (reelasian.com), Rosewood played at TIFF this year and opens today in Toronto, check your local listings; and Rocks in my Pockets opened the Rendezvous with Madness Film Festival (which features films on addiction and mental health – with an additional screening tomorrow: go to rendezvouswithmadness.com for times. Also opening: next week at Hot Docs there's the great documentary called Point and Shoot about a young American traveler/journalist who, despite being non-religious and non-radicalized, nevertheless joins the rebel armies fighting in Libya (listen to my review here). And a surprising story about the Life of Pigeons on CBC's the Nature of Things.

Daniel Garber talks with JIA ZHANG-KE and ZHAO TAO about his new film TOUCH OF SIN
Hi — This is Daniel Garber at the Movies for culturalmining.com and CIUT 89.5 FM.
It's contemporary China — people are facing abuse from their employers, corrupt local politicians, gangsters… Life is a struggle, and anger just roils up inside, until it bursts forth, with alarming consequences.
In a series of linked stories, a fantastic new film from China treads new ground in Chinese cinema. It's called A TOUCH OF SIN and played at the Toronto International Film Festival.
I spoke with director Jia Zhangke and his muse Zhao Tao on site during TIFF13. Jia is one of China's best known contemporary filmmakers, who uses art to bring the underside of current issues to the forefront. Zhao is his lead actress and appears in many of his films.
Known for films like Platform, The World and Still Life, Jia Zhang-Ke's newest one outdoes them all.
A Touch of Sin opens today in Toronto.
Daniel Garber talks to Chen Kaige about Yellow Earth, Farewell My Concubine, and Caught in the Web
Hi, This is Daniel Garber at the Movies for culturalmining.com and CIUT 89.5 FM.
The TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto is launching a Century of Chinese Cinema, a mammoth series that runs all summer. As part of this series, New Waves looks at the Fifth Generation directors in post-Mao China in the eighties.
One director's work stands out, spanning the eighties to the present day and including such crucial Chinese films as Yellow Earth and Farewell My Concubine. In this interview, director CHEN KAIGE tells about making films in the 1980s, the 1990s and today, and talks about traditional culture, Chinese politics, whether Chinese films should "serve the people", social networking, and more.
November 16th, 2012. Up and Down. Movies Reviewed: Floating City, Pusher
Hi, this is Daniel Garber at the Movies for culturalmining.com and CIUT 89.5 FM, looking at high-brow and low-brow movies, indie, cult, foreign, festival, documentary, genre and mainstream films, helping you see movies with good taste, movies that taste good, and how to tell the difference.
We're nearing the end of the fall festival season here in Toronto. But there are still a few you can catch.
ReelAsian shows movies by and about people in or from East and Southeast Asia. The festival continues this weekend with movies shown north of Toronto in Thornhill. It's a great place to see current films from Asia that don't normally make it to Toronto theatres. Rendezvous with Madness, which shows movies aboiut addiction and mental health is notable for it's offbeat, rare and creative works. They're each followed by panel discussions by the filmmakers, experts, and, here's what's different… psychiatrists! And I'm going to be moderating a panel of some great Canadian local films (North of Normal: A Collection of Canadian Shorts) so be sure to check that out series out this Saturday at 4 pm! SAD NEWS: ALL SCREENINGS AT RENDEZVOUS WITH MADNESS THIS WEEKEND HAVE BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO ROOF COLLAPSE.
The EU festival shows one movie from each country in the European Union chosen by representatives from each country's diplomatic corps. Aside from the great films… it's also completely free! It's at the Royal Cinema on College street all week. And finally don't miss the best named festival in Toronto: that's Darryl's Hard Liquor And Porn Film Festival at the Projection Booth on Gerrard St East. It;'s actually funny short films made by indie movie makers — not so much porn, but lots of funny adult topics.
This week I'm looking at two dramas about the fortunes of two ambitious but rudderless men whose fortunes rise and fall within the tides of the former British Empire.
Dir: Ho Yim
When a desperately poor woman loses her son in childbirth she buys a newborn to replace him – a Eurasian Chinese boy with bluish eyes. She raises him as her own and guards him with her life on a little fishing junk in the fragrant harbor of Hong Kong. He grows up literally barefoot, illiterate, beaten by his father, in debt, and bullied. His light-coloured hair marks him as an outsider. And the local corruption and bribery makes it very hard for a poor person to leave the underclass.
But one day he sees one of the legendary taipans – the ruling business oligarchs of Hong Kong – and vows to join their ranks. A missionary priest teaches him to read and write. And Bo is ambitious; rather than becoming a labourer or a fisherman, he manages to join the legendary East India Company. Despite the racist bully businessman Dick, his boss, he swallows his pride, even letting Dick call him "mixed" and "halfbreed".
This movie – based on actual people – shows the rise of Bo (Aaron Kwok) against the history of post-war Hong Kong. It stretches from the social unrest uin the 60s through the panic in the 80's and the ultimate signing of the British colony to the People's Republic. It also shows his eternal question – who am I? – as he tries to find love, to fit into European society, always pondering is that all there is? And will any loss of pride to kowtowing pay-off in the end? Or will he always be considered "second class".
I liked the story and the characters, but it seemed more plodding than moving or thrilling. And the film seems a bit dry for such a monumental topic. Still, Floating World gives a comprehensive view of Hong Kong's history and its people and its bitter-sweet role as a loyal British colony that was never accepted by the mother country.
Dir: Luis Prieto
Things are going well for Frank (Richard Coyle). He's got a nice arrangement with a sleazy dry-cleaner (Danish actor Zlatko Buric) to supply him with drugs that he sells in dubstep nightclubs alongside his skinny, toothy side-kick Tony (Bronson Webb). And he is sleeping with a beautiful, ice-blond stripper (Agyness Deyn).
He decides to expand – he sends a woman to Amsterdam to pick up some coke, and — after a chance meeting with a casual acquaintance he met in the big house – he decides to go for an easy deal that will make him lots and lots of money.
But things are not what they seem. The Amsterdam deal isn't working, his buddy seems to have turned on him, he suspects the set-up guy might be a narc, and all the money he borrowed from Milo The Dry Cleaner… has disappeared. He's forced to accompany a violent enforcer to reclaim some of the money he is owed, knowing all the while that he might well be the next one crushed by the big time criminals.
Will he dig himself out if his hole, get back his money, avoid prison, escape the low life, and maybe find a quiet existence with his lover?
Pusher (a remake of Nicolas Refn Wilding's film) is extremely violent, gritty, low-budget and depressing. It has some good intrigue and action, it's fast moving and tense, but it's not a fun movie. The acting is pretty good and you get to like the characters (even though they're loathsome criminals)… but they're all so beaten down by the even nastier bosses that you mentally want it all just to end already.
Pusher is playing now, Floating City is playing at reelasian.com this weekend in Thornhill; Rendezvous with Madness, Hard Liquor and Porn, and EUtorontofilmfest.ca all continue through the weekend.

For more info on wage theft, check out our post on last year's day of action! http://dev2.wagingnonviolence.org/2009/11/wage-theft-the-forgotten-crime-wave/
Thousands of people in more than 30 cities today will participate in a variety of creative nonviolent actions for the National Day of Action Against Wage Theft. As Interfaith Worker Justice (IWJ), the organization behind this campaign, explained in a press release:
In Houston, a worker center will release a local report on wage theft and will send a "Justice Bus" around the city to call attention to local businesses that steal their workers' wages. Other innovative local events include a text messaging campaign, a "Worst Employers" Awards ceremony, "Know Your Rights" workshops for workers, a jazz funeral for lost wages and a Thanksgiving-themed auction and a dramatization against wage theft in Memphis.
Wage theft can mean many things, as Kim Bobo, the director of Interfaith Worker Justice, explains in this informative video, including when workers are, "not paid minimum wage, not paid overtime, misclassified as independent contractors, [when] they don't get all their tips, they get laid off and they don't get their last paycheck, or for some workers they work all day and they don't get paid at all."
To see if there is an event that you can attend in your area, many of which are planned for this afternoon or evening, click here for a list of actions around the country. You can also sign this petition to help stop wage theft.
To prevent a stolen election we must win decisively at the polls and use disciplined nonviolent mass action to defend the legitimate results.
As Americans prepare to stop a coup, concerns for safety are rising. Longtime trainer George Lakey offers lessons on overcoming fear and minimizing violence.
On Indigenous Peoples' Day, Americans must recognize the ugly history of how the Nazis were inspired by the long and brutal U.S. campaign against Native Americans.

This is beautiful chilly weather bowl of soup to enjoy, a chicken stock with small beef meatballs, pasta and veg.
I noticed on reviewer commented on how labor intensive it was to make the tiny meatballs. I saw a chef make them by shaping some of the meat into a "rope", cutting the rope into 3/4" segments, and then rolling a bunch of them at once with his hand pressing them against the counter. It was very clever and made quick work of it - hope this helps! - 11 May 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
I replaced the onion with some garlic powder. I also browned the meatballs in a frying pan before putting them in the soup.. It added a great flavor to the meatballs and the soup - 17 Feb 2002 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)
Delicious! I used 1 cup of bread crumbs in the meatballs. I added a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the pot (that seems to get rid of the "canned broth" smell somehow). I've never made a recipe where meatballs weren't browned first, but I didn't pre-cook them. The soup wasn't greasy and the meatballs weren't too anemic loooking. I used my small cookie scoop for the meatballs and it was easy and quick! I used orzo pasta and precooked it and added it to the soup right at the end to avoid having it absorb all the broth. The best thing was that my husband was pretty sure he was not going to like this soup and after he tried it, he liked it a lot. - 01 Jan 2006 (Review from Allrecipes US | Canada)

We love Amazon Prime. Someone in our office gets something from Amazon every day, and Prime free shipping is a really strong incentive to just get it from Amazon and forget about shopping around for the best price.
I noticed, beginning at the start of this month, that my Amazon purchases were now being charged sales tax, even though they have no physical presence in North Carolina. We have been pushing back hard against attempts in Congress to force merchants to charge sales tax on purchases from out of state customers and I, for one, was glad that the sales tax bill passed by the Senate has apparently died in the House.
When Amazon charges me tax on a purchase, they take on the responsibility of reporting that tax to North Carolina and forwarding my tax payment on to the state. It seems like a huge administrative headache and an effort for which Amazon gains nothing.
It suddenly dawned on me that perhaps the reason that Amazon has started charging me (and everybody else) sales tax is because handling the administrative side of collecting and distributing tax payments is a huge business opportunity.
The idea that a small business operating on the internet (that's us!) would have to track and pay taxes to every taxing authority that charges sales tax would be a nightmare. Not only does every state charge sales tax, there are lots of local municipalities that tag on their own taxes. When the tax is collected, it must be at the appropriate rate for that specific location.
A behemoth like Amazon has the capacity to handle this process, for a price, and make sure that everyone gets what was charged to customers under their authority. It could be a huge moneymaking opportunity for Amazon and they wouldn't have to offer free shipping.
Maybe they'll deliver the tax payments by drone.

I wonder what they did to you, to make you like this. Nobody is just like this. People transform into this. People are made this way.
Maybe it was the same thing that drove your brother to drink himself to death. The same thing that caused you to bully the other kids at school. Bullies are made. Created in the image of the bullies that came before them, like a succession of soaking wet gremlins.
I wonder what things Fred said to you, to make you feel such a desperation. He probably told you that Real Men are dynamic and powerful. That the only kind of man good enough for a woman is a Real Man. The kind of man who wed Mary.
Mary was just an impoverished Scottish hillbilly with an eighth-grade education, from a family humiliated by her slutty sister's scandal until Fred rescued her. He must have made her feel very grateful. It was the 1930's, and what women needed were powerful men. Men who could pay for things. Men who were respected and feared by other men. Men who could claim them and protect them and keep them from starving. Mary was just a servant, fresh off the boat, after all. She was a nobody. She was the worst possible thing to be- aside from unwed and pregnant. Mary was poor.
She must have had such pride in her new life, and such animosity for that which she had left behind. In order to be properly rescued, you have to hate the place you left. You have to abandon it completely. You have to despise everyone and everything that reminds you of it. It's easy to be charitable to the unfortunate, just as long as nobody forgets you are not one of them. You have to remain separate. There is you, and there is them. This is how you know you are winning.
It must have been her only point of power, of accomplishment, in a time when the best thing a woman could do for herself was marry well. And you needed to be the kind of man your mother would have married. The kind of man who would be enough to be considered "well". A man like Fred.
You had to be as good as Fred. No one would ever want you unless you were as good as Fred. Fred, who brought his tough negotiation style home with him. Fred, who the relatives began avoiding, because he conducted professional relationships with even his family members. Your brother couldn't do it; you had to do it. It was the only way to be a real man. A man other men would want to be. A man women would want.
I wonder what it was like, living in a world where a person's value was tied only to their power, and not to the contents of their soul. I bet you weren't allowed to cry. I bet you were never taught the beauty of compassion, of empathy, of kindness. I wonder what it was like, never being given the tools to express vulnerability or pain. I wonder what it felt like, watching Fred work seven days a week, knowing he would never love you as much as he loved that ladder he was climbing. Knowing the only way your own father could ever approve of you was to measure up. To build your own Tower of Babel. To be a Real Man.
A Real Man. Real Men are powerful. Money is power. Fame is power. The ability to maneuver others is power. The holy triad. The only way to be worth anything. The only option for you.
So you learned to force your hand. When you were a grade school bully, your father called you "rambunctious". He didn't teach you value of diplomacy, of conflict resolution, of patience. Real Men do not cry, they fight. Real Men grab women by the pussy. Real Men do not back down, even if they're wrong. Real Men are bulldozers. Real Men are wars. Real Men don't need to be nurtured, they need to toughen up. Real Men take stuff; they take everything. Real Men marry the most beautiful women, and parade them around, a measure of desirability. Real Men don't coddle, they provide.
I bet, when you were a child, nobody ever told you that you were already enough. That what mattered was Who You Were. That a person can be judged by the way they treat others. That you are supposed to be human.
You probably just want to be loved. Even now, you've only done what the two people you idolized as a little boy told you was the golden ticket to their approval. And now, here you are, unable to garner the skills everybody else in this game takes for granted: finesse, sensitivity, wit. The things most of us learn early on, as we develop loving, sincere relationships, as we navigate our way through difficult situations. The things politicians are groomed to do, it seems to all just come naturally. Nobody ever told you that you would need those things, so you came unprepared for the ultimate secret handshake. It's like some inside joke everyone is in on, but you.
So you get louder and more belligerent, just how daddy dearest showed you real men do it, and the laughter gets louder, too. Your critics get cleverer. Nobody has ever been laughed at so much. The whole world is laughing. You stand your ground, but you know what they are saying. You must wonder how people can be so witty. Nobody ever taught you about the finer points of banter. Nobody taught you anything. Fred expected you to just pick it up. To just watch and figure out what to do. Nobody ever explained. You didn't know that money and fame and pussy wouldn't be enough. And now, even if you manage to force your way through this door, you'll always be known as a bull in a China shop. Nobody will ever love you.
You know who your supporters are, and you know they are not the kind of people you'd ever respect, not really. They're all people you managed to fool, people who don't care about things like fact checking and finely-crafted conversations. These are people who believe in sideshow magicians, and you know it. You could sell them anything. Even you think they're idiots.
The people you really want to love you, they never will. But you have to take what you can get. You can't let anyone see how frustrating it is that you can't ever get it right. That's the thing they don't seem to understand. You want, more than anything, to get it right. Even the size of your hands is fair game. Everything about you is funny, it seems.
They don't even like your hair. Nobody's making fun of her hair, but yours is Photo-shopped onto woodland creatures and cats, all across the the web. And what's she doing here, anyway? You've spent your whole life being told that this is what women require of men. Why doesn't she like you? Why does she smirk every time you speak?
I wonder how that makes you feel. Sometimes, when I'm watching you on stage, you look like you're about to cry. Immediately after, I watch you have outbursts and tantrums akin to the ones I see in children. I watch you lash out on the internet, like a person who's only means of being heard is yelling. I watch you behave like a boy who was raised without any true support, any guidance on how to use his voice. Nobody ever sat down with you and allowed you to have feelings, did they? Surrounded by women who were taught that the only men who could keep them safe, because they did not deserve to keep themselves safe, were Real Men. Surrounded by Real Men who were taught that their humanity was weakness.
Nobody will ever love you. And it's too late now, because you are a monster. To ever be somebody sincere, somebody with soul, you'd have to denounce the the very thing that shaped you. You would have to name your Frankenstein. Real Men don't do that. Real Men don't back down. Real Men don't care if they're loved. So this is all you get.

Capcom has found recent success with their latest game releases, Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5, and both of these games have one thing in common: the RE Engine, which was the engine developed for Resident Evil 7.
According to Capcom, these two games will not be the last players will be seeing of the RE Engine.
During the reveal of Capcom's financial information for the past fiscal year, Capcom was asked about the future games that the studio is currently developing with the RE Engine. While they did not outright reveal any game titles, Capcom responded to the question by stating that there are "numerous titles currently being developed internally with the RE Engine."
"The games we developed using the RE Engine during this current hardware generation have received critical acclaim, and from the early stages of building this engine, we kept the ability to augment it for next-generation development in mind," Capcom stated during their Financial Results Briefing, "as such, we view the RE Engine as one of our strengths that will contribute to next-generation game creation."
Though it will probably be some time till we hear more about these future games which could be using the RE Engine, there is still a chance that we'll hear more about this during Capcom's showcase during E3 2019.

Assailing Trump's business acumen, Bloomberg implores voters to pick the 'sane' candidate
Don't get him wrong. Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, a self-made billionaire, understands the appeal of a businessman candidate for president.
But in a searing prime-time speech before the Democratic National Convention Wednesday night, Bloomberg tore into Republican candidate Donald Trump's business bona fides, describing him as little more than a born-rich swindler with a knack for hypocrisy and penchant for declaring bankruptcy and spawning lawsuits.
"Trump says he wants to run the nation like he's running his business?" asked an incredulous-sounding Bloomberg. "God help us.
"I built a business and I didn't start it with a million-dollar check from my father," he added, with a smirk.
Bloomberg's prominent role at the Democratic convention — speaking after Vice President Joe Biden and Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, and before vice presidential candidate Tim Kaine and President Barack Obama — was a testament to the Clinton campaign's desire to appeal to independents and moderate Republicans.
Bloomberg, a Democrat-turned-Republican-turned-independent, acknowledged as much.
"I've supported elected officials from both sides of the aisle, and probably not many people in this room can say that," he said. "But I know there are many watching at home who can."
Bloomberg said he understands the plight of independent voters. "I know what it's like to have neither party fully represent my views or values," he said.
Too many Republicans, he argued, blame immigrants for the country's woes and are mulish about climate change and gun control. Too many Democrats, he argued (to boos from the audience), reflexively disdain the private sector and discount education reform and deficit reduction.
Be that as it may, he said the stakes in this election are too high to let partisanship interfere.
He called Trump a fraud, a "dangerous demagogue," and a man whose business plan is "disaster in the making."
"I'm a New Yorker and I know a con when I see one," Bloomberg said in one of a series of memorable one-liners in a speech put together by the former mayor, his longtime speechwriter Frank Barry and his longtime political aide Howard Wolfson.
When Bloomberg took office after September 11, Hillary Clinton had only recently become a New York senator. Bloomberg himself considered challenging Clinton for the presidency, before deciding his candidacy was unlikely to be successful.
During his 12-minute speech, Bloomberg pleaded with the American electorate to elect a "sane, competent person with international experience."
"And no matter what you may think about her politics or her record, Hillary Clinton understands that this is not reality television," he said. "This is reality."
When he was done, Bloomberg sat in former President Bill Clinton's box to watch rest of the night's speeches.

Leading trainer Chris Waller had no doubts that Nature Strip deserved his spot in The Everest (1200m) after James Harron announced the sprinter would run in his slot in the $14 million race.
Harron, who won the first running of Australia's richest race with Redzel in 2017, said the way the race looks to map on paper influenced his decision.
"We have been playing the waiting game and the time came to make our move," Harron said.
"Nature Strip is one of the most exciting and talked about sprinters in the country.
"He's a horse with a bit of X-factor and, importantly for us, is proven on all track conditions and is an on-speed runner in a race which so far looks lacking in such types."
Waller said he felt privileged to be asked by Harron if his horse could run for him on October 19 at Randwick for what will be the third edition of what's now Sydney racing's biggest day.
"I think it's well deserved and it's good to be selected by a good judge who has a good record in the race," Waller said.
Nature Strip has won 11 of his 18 starts, including Group 1 victories in The Galaxy and last start in the Moir Stakes. They were over 1100m and 1000m and the question mark over the five-year-old has always been his ability to run out a strong 1200m.
Waller has done everything he can to help him relax in his races and even though riding him off the speed didn't quite work first-up in the Concorde Stakes, he ran less than three lengths off Redzel.
Last start at Mooney Valley, Waller's team decided to let him use his speed to lead them in the straight and he held off Miss Leonidas and fellow Everest runner Sunlight.
"I think everybody knows, including myself, that he likes to roll along and he's actually settling better," Waller said.
"So, yes, he'll roll along (in the Everest) but he will settle this year. In previous years he was getting to the front and charging but now he's getting the front and relaxing.
"He's won over 1200m up the straight (at Flemington), he can handle all track conditions and he's come back in great condition."
Waller said he wouldn't have a huge say in who will ride Nature Strip.
"I'll leave it to the owners and slot holder and I won't be hard to please," he said.
Waller also wouldn't comment on which horse would run in his Everest slot, although it's expected his top colt Yes Yes Yes would be selected.
"It's imminent and we're going for a form horse," Waller said. "I've still got to speak to a few people."
Alizee top seed for Everest slot
"There's your Everest horse".
That's what Kerrin McEvoy told Godolphin's Darren Beadman and Vin Cox after galloping Alizee between races at Randwick on Wednesday.
"She had a good action. I had her contained in behind (Deprive) and if you give her an inch, she takes a mile," McEvoy said.
Alizee and stablemate Deprive galloped over 1000m with the three-time Group 1 winner finishing a head in front and covering the last 600m in 33.03 seconds which was wind assisted.
Beadman was wearing a big smile after the gallop by the hulking James Cummings-trained mare who has the ability to go through her gears very quickly on firm ground.
With Osborne Bulls sent to the paddock for a spell after pulling up lame in the Premiere Stakes last Saturday it looks like Alizee has her nose in front in the race to Godolphin's Everest slot.
"She's a lethal weapon. She's just a powerhouse," Beadman said. "She looked to be cruising along nicely and James wouldn't have wanted her to do much more than that. She's got had a pipe opener and got the feel of Randwick again after running down in Melbourne."
The five-year-old went down to Caulfield to run third behind Scales Of Justice in the Group 1 Memsie Stakes but the Godolphin team always knew she would be at her best a run later and it looks like it will come in the $14 million Everest.
"The thing that's impressed me most since she came back from Melbourne is her coat. She did really well down there but went down looking like she needed improvement," Beadman said. "She's come back here looking ready to shine. Her coat is glowing which is encouraging.
"She's had five wins at Randwick. An Everest is no gimmie and you've just got to have the right horse on the right day and be in the right spot."
Tommy Berry gave multiple Group 1 winner and crowd favourite Happy Clapper a 1000m track gallop before Alizee's work, and the Pat Webster-trained veteran looked fantastic.
He next races in the Group 3 Craven Plate (2000m) on Everest day after running third last start in the Group 1 George Main Stakes.
Berry struggled to stop the nine-year-old as he powered through the line.
"He felt great and he's definitely come on," Berry said. "I thought I was going another lap after the post. He saw the pony and eased up on me which was nice.
"He's in great order and feels like he's a three-year-old. He's very happy."

"Valencia CF would like to take this opportunity to insist that the population stay in their homes and strictly follow previously published hygiene and infection prevention measures. We also wish to express our confidence in our healthcare system and the recommendations by the Ministry of Health for those cases of coronavirus infection being treated with isolation."
Per sportswriter Sam Marsden, Valencia reported five cases on Sunday, noting the lack of symptoms highlights the importance of staying home even when feeling well:

107.8 Radio Jackie - Bulletins aired each hour
Wednesday, 8 March 2017
The chancellor's promised a "stronger, fairer, more global Britain", as he delivered his first budget
Philip Hammond, the MP for Weybridge MP, has announced more funding for social care and schools, and a shake-up of the business rates system in England.
He says there'll be a £1,000 discount this year for pubs, and any firm coming out of small business rate relief will benefit from an additional cap.
Over £91 million has been raised through business rates in Merton.
Council Leader Stephen Alambritis says although that may seem like a huge sum, not a lot of the money goes back into the borough.
Also in today's Budget;
The chancellor's claimed the Tories are the 'party of the NHS' as he announced extra money for social care.
He's promised to increase funding by £2 billion in England over the next three years.
And £100 million has been earmarked for triage by GPs inside A&E units.
But higher paid self-employed people will face rising National Insurance payments.
MPs were also told of higher forecasts for economic growth this year, up from 1.4% percent to 2%
Predictions for public sector borrowing this year are more than £16 billion lower compared to the Autumn.

Pekerman criticises Barcelona's treatment of Yerry Mina
Yerry Mina featured only occasionally last season with Barcelona and Colombia coach Jose Pekerman is not impressed with his treatment.
Colombia coach Jose Pekerman has hit out at Barcelona's treatment of Yerry Mina during his first few months in Spain, adamant he should have played more often.
Mina made the switch from Brazil's Palmeiras to Barca in January to much fanfare after establishing himself as arguably the best centre-back in South America.
But his transition to LaLiga has been difficult, with Barca coach Ernesto Valverde playing him just five times in the league.
Pekerman remained faithful to the defender by selecting him for the World Cup despite his lack of game time in Spain.
And he has assured Mina – who will start in the team's World Cup opener against Japan on Tuesday – that he and Colombia have no doubts about his capabilities whatsoever.
"We have no doubts about his skills," Pekerman told reporters in Saransk on Monday. "We've never had doubts.
"We trust him, he's confident, he's happy and he feels very well with the team. We also think that he's doing well and now that in the last few months in Barcelona he hasn't played much and that's not great, when he had to play they weren't many expectations.
"Football is very fast, a very fast paced game, we have to decide very quickly what you're going to do.
"I'm sure it was tough with him to cope with that situation, we have no doubts and we have no doubt about him being here.
"It's true that during the preparation phase, all the midfielders knew that they needed to compete during the sessions.
"They know they need to be fit and join the team fully. They knew that we had to pick the best ones for the games.
"Those who are the fittest, but I really count on him for tomorrow's game, independently of how many minutes he will play.
"I think he's got a great future in world football. We know that the current situation is difficult because it's a very important club and he joined the club at a moment when they really wanted to play with just one play.
"It shouldn't be like that, football is a team game and when you have a team you have to play the same way."

Parker Unveils its Industrial IoT Platform at Hanover Messe
Parker Hannifin Corporation today unveiled the Voice of the Machine® IoT platform, an open, interoperable and scalable ecosystem of connected products and services at Hannover Messe (Germany April 24-28, 2017 Parker booth A48 in Hall 23).
With the Voice of the Machine platform, Parker is planning to address challenges that may have prevented operators from fully leveraging IoT to improve safety and prevent unplanned downtime and high maintenance costs across their industrial applications. Some of these challenges include legacy devices that are not IoT-enabled, an absence of component-level insights, and competing communication protocols used by various suppliers.
"Through the Voice of the Machine IoT platform we enable our customers to hear what their assets are saying at a component level so they can improve application performance," said Miguel Morales, Director, Internet of Things. "Parker has 100 years of component and system expertise for motion and control technologies, a prerequisite for unlocking that last mile of safety, reliability and productivity residing within the machines that our products support."
Parker is using a center-led approach and has adopted a common set of IoT standards and best practices for use across all its operating groups and technologies. Every connected product uses the same repository of digital services with an exchange-based platform architecture, designed by software experts at Exosite. The Exosite IoT architecture makes it easy to deploy a diverse set of connected solutions leveraging that same set of digital services and to integrate Parker solutions with other partner platforms.
Exosite's Murano IoT platform and Exchange IoT marketplace enable a centralized approach to company-wide IoT implementation that helps industrial manufacturers reduce development costs, decrease time-to-market, and unlock new opportunities for customers.
While Murano provides the infrastructure and tools needed to create sophisticated connected solutions, Exchange provides a framework for curating a library of reusable IoT elements, including proven services, design patterns, and pre-built applications and integrations. These elements, many of which are ready to use out-of-the-box, quickly solve common IoT challenges and promote internal alignment. As a result, organizations can expect to reduce time-to-market and slash development costs, making the economics of IoT much more feasible on a company-wide scale.

With so much capital in play private banks are keen to keep the millennial children of wealthy families sweet.

French icon Serge Dassault dies aged 93
The controversial French industrialist and politician Serge Dassault, chairman of the eponymous aviation and software giant Dassault Group, has died aged 93.
The nonagenarian, who took over the business after his father's death in 1986, is understood to have died at the headquarters of Dassault Aviation, according to French media reports.

Transformational LG Group chairman Koo Bon-moo dies
The influential chairman of South Korea's LG Group, who helped transform the company into a technology heavyweight, has passed away after a battle with brain disease.

Family-controlled Swedish investment house Kinnevik is set to appoint Dame Amelia Fawcett as its new chairman at its AGM on 21 May.
The proposed election underlines the digital innovator's tradition of female leadership that has seen female chairs helming it for 11 out of the past 13 years.
Fawcett, a former Morgan Stanley executive who chaired the Guardian Media Group for seven years, has been deputy chairman since 2013.
Death is a sensitive topic in all cultures, but especially in predominantly Chinese societies. Despite this wariness, it is a topic I have broached with family members in several ways over the past year with revealing results.
Death is a sensitive topic in all cultures, but especially in predominantly Chinese societies. Here superstitions mean some buildings do not have a fourth level because four in Cantonese sounds like "die". Despite this wariness, it is a topic I have broached with family members in several ways over the past year with revealing results.
In October last year I took a gamble and provided a platform in Hong Kong for family principals to talk about death.
Ghazi Abu Nahl, insurance magnate, philanthropist, and father-of-five, shows few signs of slowing down. Despite turning 72 this year, his schedule sees him in a new city virtually every week. So how did a former refugee, who describes his ideal day as being at home with his wife and children, build a global business empire with more than $5 billion in assets? Alexandra Newlovereports
The ancient religious trust known as the Jerusalem Islamic Waqf is coming back into vogue in Dubai. Not only are waqfs a way for families to set up charitable foundations and launch their charitable funds, they are also popular among family business principals who want to organise their inheritance in confidence.
This emerging trend, along with law changes in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), could be a big boost for smoother succession planning.
Most business owners will agree that having a succession plan in place is critical, though often challenging, even in the best of times. But Michael Wagner, co-founder of the family-owned, Florida-based Omnia Family Wealth asks what happens when the heirs of the business have different needs, talents, goals and involvement in the family's business?
Sibling differences and communication barriers can create major obstacles to a smooth transition in leadership that can lead to the ultimate destruction of the company.

Onstream Media Signs MarketPlace365® Services Agreement with Sidoti & Company, LLC to Showcase Micro-Cap Companies
POMPANO BEACH, FL – June 6, 2011 - Onstream Media Corporation ( OTC: ONSM), a leading online service provider of live and on-demand corporate audio and web communications, virtual event technology, and social media marketing, today announced that Sidoti & Company, LLC has signed a MarketPlace365® services agreement to develop a virtual tradeshow, which Sidoti expects to keep nearly 600 micro-cap and small-cap opportunities squarely in the eye of potential investors. New York City-based Sidoti is a preeminent provider of institutional-quality equity research, and the services agreement with MarketPlace365® offers the small- and micro-cap companies Sidoti investigates a chance to tell their story to investors -- the products and services they provide, how they differ from rivals, and especially what makes them attractive investments. The companies and their investor audiences will be able to network virtually.
Sidoti & Company is well-known as Wall Street's "axe" on small- and micro-cap companies, which are finally gaining the attention the firm has long argued these names deserve. In existence for ten and a half years, Sidoti has grown from five analysts to nearly 60, all dedicated to educating Wall Street on the merits of these two groups, whose market capitalizations are under $3 billion and $200 million, respectively. While profitable and promising, many small- and micro-cap names are unknown to investors because Sidoti's bulge-bracket research competitors neglect them. Sidoti covers nearly 600 small- and micro-cap companies, including 1-800 Flowers, Diebold, Domino's, Earthlink, Lennox, Fair Isaac, Kelly Services and NCR, and maintains that the two groups are rife with unmined investment gems.
Sidoti is also highly regarded for the annual Small-Cap and Micro-Cap Investor Forums it hosts in New York City, which attract hundreds of savvy investors, as well as for the nearly 1,000 non-deal road show days the firm offers its institutional client base each year.
Now Sidoti & Company is excited to see how far MarketPlace365 can extend its reach and enhance its capabilities. The firm expects the cornerstone of the marketplace will be the "exhibit hall," which will showcase hundreds of the companies it covers to the investment community, using MarketPlace365's comprehensive multimedia tools. The Sidoti virtual marketplace will host dedicated client "exhibit booths" with robust market intelligence and company-specific presentations including everything from breaking news, corporate videos, and social media news feeds to intraday stock charts and quotes, corporate blogs, investor presentations, Web TV telecasts and more. The firm's goal is to provide an online platform to increase visibility and investor awareness of exhibiting companies, along with the most user-friendly, interactive tools available for investors to access this information.
In addition, the online media library will include valuable archived information, the virtual auditorium will provide a stage where little-known but fine companies can "strut their stuff" to a wide audience of potential investors, and the web-based learning center will include breakout sessions and a continuing education area devoted to latest developments at companies Sidoti thinks deserve investors' keen attention.
"Perhaps no other industry relies on networking as much as the small- and micro-cap investment community," said Randy Selman, President and CEO of Onstream Media. "MarketPlace365's presentation and social networking capabilities are designed to stimulate business activity, interaction and thought leadership knowledge sharing by providing an online forum to facilitate discussions with management, investors and other industry professionals."

I feel it's really important, and the reason it's important is once it gets to the prototype, you can quickly evaluate that prototype with consumers to see if it fits the concept and if it meets their needs. For me, it's linking science to the consumer, and actually on a personal level, I really enjoy working with my commercial colleagues...

Is there a restaurant chain with good food at reasonable prices in switzerland?
about 9 years ago about Switzerland
Asked by Fpvistareal via Ask a Nomad iPad app
2 Answers
Manora is a cafeteria-type place that's clean and has reliable food very inexpensively (and decent coffee). If you're looking to save money, this place is all over the country (at least the French-speaking area, which I know a lot more about because I go every year). There is usually one inside the Manor department store, but sometimes they're separate. A cheap way to eat is also to grab the kebab sandwiches at outside kiosks...cheap and yummy. Also crepe and sandwich kiosks are a good bet. about 9 years agoAnswered by Patty via WorldNomads.com

2010 natural disasters in Queensland, Victoria and then Western Australia have increased the need for insurance companies to process claims quickly and effectively. For one of the biggest general insurers, Suncorp, the increase in claims highlighted the need to keep clients better informed on the progress of their claims. For many victims of the storms and floods there was no internet connection let alone a computer, paperwork was all too often lost or destroyed and mail had major disruptions in some regions.
Suncorp & GIO Insurance were the first to use the system for claims processing when tens of thousands of claims from customers in disaster stricken regions of QLD, VIC & WA.

Leveraging Entelo's Send On Behalf Of (AKA SOBO) feature increases your candidate response rate. In fact, metrics show that using the SOBO feature on passive candidates, the response rate could increase to 75%. But what if the candidate(s) you reached out to did not "Reply All" to the SOBO email(s) you were Cc'd on and your Hiring Manager is on PTO/sick with no access to his/her email? How do you track and engage a receptive candidate?
Since the SOBO email originates from your manager's email engine, you won't receive a notification if he candidate does not "Reply All." However, you can easily track the activity on the SOBO email via Entelo Track. You can see whether or not the candidate opened or replied to the email:
By hovering over the Engagements, you can get more details on the candidate's activity for that particular SOBO email:
Notice that the above candidate has opened the email once. You can proactively follow up on behalf of your manager and take it from there. Better yet, when your manager comes back from PTO, you'll probably have good news to share.
