As we look forward to a new year filled with fresh challenges, it’s a good time to reflect on all we achieved in 2017. Last year was a very successful one for Boson Web. As well as expanding the team and moving into new premises, we completed lots of exciting projects for clients and developed additional services to further support clients in their own digital growth journeys.
We created a new brand and accompanying website to not only showcase the company’s services, but also its unique character. The new site makes a statement and is fully responsive too.
We were asked to develop three websites to promote the different elements of this construction and development business. The websites are designed to intuitively guide users through Halsall’s primary sectors.
We helped revamp Avon Valley’s original website and as a result, website visitors grew from 174 to 10,350. Avon Valley now has a fun, interactive website to drive online ticket sales and direct visitors to the park.
As well as their main website, we also created a new Christmas microsite (‘The Christmas Experience’) to showcase the attraction’s festive events.
Prima Dental – we built a multilingual website for this client, a world leader in precision dental products.
Safety First Aid Training – our brief was to build a new website that made it easier for customers to search for and book on to training courses.
1st Car Imports – we were asked to improve the user experience, with a fresh brand to reflect the growth of this rapidly-expanding business.
FTX Logistics – our brief was to develop a fully mobile-responsive website, clearly signposting the recruitment side of the business.
Carterwood – we designed a new website for the chartered surveyors, with a contemporary look.
Last year resulted in significant growth for Boson Web, with four new members of staff joining the team: Steve (Commercial Director), Mark (Account Manager), Will (WordPress Developer) and Kim (Marketing Manager). With a bigger team, our old office was getting a bit cramped, so we moved to a larger space in The Old Gas Warehouse in Bradford on Avon.
We continued to build our reputation during 2017, winning new clients as well as developing relationships with existing ones. We exhibited at Bath Expo in March and at Business Showcase South West in October. In November, our Head of User Experience, Tom Beavan, gave a talk on digital marketing at a sold-out event held at the Glove Factory in Holt and we were finalists in the ‘Best Website’ category in the Bath Creative Awards.
Boson Web has always developed great websites, but in the last year or so we’ve introduced additional services and can now offer even more comprehensive web support and hosting packages. We’re now also able to help our clients with more of their digital marketing requirements such as Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) and content marketing. We’ve totally moved over to using WordPress as our chosen website platform (you can find some of the reasons why here), and can deliver a whole range of websites using this tool, from simpler budget-friendly options to more complex bespoke sites.

Alberta Justice Minister Kathleen Ganley needs to ask the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to investigate concerns raised by Alberta Election Commissioner Lorne Gibson that someone is trying to interfere with his office's inquiry into alleged irregularities in the 2017 United Conservative Party leadership race.
Gibson expressed his alarm in a letter Jan. 24?to participants in the investigation into allegations "irregular financial contributions" were made to the campaign of UCP leadership candidate Jeff Callaway.
"It has come to the attention of my office that an individual has been contacting, or attempting to contact, one or more persons who are subjects in this investigation in order to dissuade cooperation with investigators and hinder the proper discussion of matters in order to avoid these proceedings," Gibson wrote in the letter, which was sent to several people.
Ganley needs to seek police assistance because intentionally impeding the investigation is a serious matter that interferes with the work of an institution set up to protect our democratic system, and which does not have the investigative resources of a police organization.
And she needs to do it immediately because, if the government changes after the general election, which is expected very soon, there can be no confidence a new government would not shut down the investigation for fear of what it might find. It must be noted here that the executive director of the UCP told Star Metro, which broke this story on Saturday, that "the party is not aware of anyone pressuring people not to participate in an Election Commissioner investigation."
Janice Harrington also told Star Metro that the UCP "would encourage all Albertans, be they members or not, to abide by all laws," and said that no one among Kenney, his leadership team, or the party has been approached by investigators from the Office of the Election Commissioner.
Gibson's office has hired two former police officers -- specialists in fraud and white-collar crime, one retired from the Calgary Police Service and the other from the Edmonton Police Service -- to investigate the allegations Callaway's campaign was illegally funded to carry out a "kamikaze" attack against former Wildrose Party leader Brian Jean while his principal rival, Jason Kenney, took the high road.
Regardless of the merit of these allegations, which Callaway denies, Kenney, who became the leader of the Progressive Conservative Party in March 2017, was elected as leader of the UCP at the end of October 2017. He became leader of the Opposition in the Legislature in January last year.
Gibson's letter warned recipients that his office "takes allegations of obstruction very seriously," and noted that "obstruction may also constitute a 'corrupt practice' and be subject to significant penalties."
The Alberta Election Finances Disclosure and Contributions Act says no one may obstruct any person carrying out an inquiry, investigation or examination under the act. Gibson noted that anyone who commits a corrupt practice as defined by the act is subject to a fine of not more than $50,000 and imprisonment of up to two years, or both.
"If you have been contacted by any person who has, or has attempted to?influence your participation in this investigation, it is very important that you bring this information to the attention of my office immediately," the letter continues.
"You will be asked whether you have been contacted by any person in order to dissuade your cooperation with investigators or hinder the proper disposition of matters in order to avoid the proceedings," Gibson wrote. "You will be asked whether you have maintained a record of those conversations and communication."

I’m overwhelmed by how much I love these four books- the Neapolitan series. It wasn’t love at first page. I earnestly struggled with Book 1 of the series, which details the younger years of these two passionate, brave, deeply weird women. And then, somewhere in Book 2 (‘The Story of A New Name”), I feel in book love. Book 3 (“Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay”) is my favorite of the four- bad choices and consequences dominate. Elena Ferrante has written books for the ages.
Lila and Lenù are captivating. They have the kind of tumultuous, lifelong friendship many women can relate to. Driven by fierce ambitions, the culture of their neighborhood, and each other, they battle and love. The author explores marriage, motherhood, career choices through the main characters and even minor characters. Naples plays a huge role and you get a sense of how turbulent and varies this Italian city is. They are not called the Neapolitan novels in the abstract. I can’t imagine these stories, these characters living anywhere else. The city is part of why they are who they are.
The narrator is Lenù and much as I love her, it is really Lila who makes the pages come alive. She’s angry and possessed of charm and brilliance. Honestly, I find myself thinking about her as if she is a real person I can talk to and get to know. Elena/Lenù tells us everything that happens to both of them, and yet Lila is a mysterious figure in many aspects. The narrator is filled with jealousy towards but also love for Lila, and that is so interesting to me.
I hate reviews that tell you too much about the storyline, but I will say that each woman’s journey, and the journey of their community has many twists. The plots and subplots are comic, tragic, and true-to-life.
Despite the pretty and somewhat misleading covers, these books are dense and thick, Dickensian in scope. They are not light reads; be prepared to learn about Italian politics, the sexual revolution, cultural shifts from the 50s to now. Violence and sexuality are enormous themes in these novels.
The lives these women lead are epic but relatable. If you are a creative woman, you may find these books pleasurable for how they delve into why we create at all- what drives us to make something from nothing.
This series is one of the best I’ve ever read and I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Plus, If you haven’t heard, this series is coming to HBO.

The star couple Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux has finally decided to tie the knot. These famous actors are rumored to have decided on a date and even picked their wedding bands. The couple has decided to keep the event a small affair by inviting only close friends to the do.
The wedding is expected to take place in Hawaii. Apparently, Justin owns a house in Kauai, but the wedding is expected to happen in a larger place like a villa or something as the venue for the wedding.
Ben Stiller is expected to be the best man on the day while TV host Chelsea Handler will be Jen’s bridesmaid. Courtney Cox’s daughter Coco is said to be her flower girl. Apparently, she is also Jen’s god daughter.
The 44 year old ‘Friends’ star is reportedly very excited about the wedding and even wants to change her second name to Theroux. On the other hand 41 year old Theroux is busy shopping for the wedding.
The two met on the sets of Wanderlust in 2011 and have been in a relationship ever since. Jennifer has earlier been famous for her marriage with Hollywood flame Brad Pitt. But their marriage crumbled. This is probably why Jennifer wants the wedding to happen far away from the Hollywood crowd. The wedding is expected to have just a couple of dozen people invited and is therefore going to be a very private affair.
The wedding date is speculated to be very close to the completion of her current project on March 8th. Justin and Jen have been spotted making last minute preparations for the wedding. Good luck to the bride and groom.

The new year is here, and the biggest brands already have their 2018 social media plan laid out. But if you haven’t quite solidified yours yet, it’s not too late. This article is intended to guide you through the process of crafting a social media marketing plan for the coming year – providing you some helpful tips, tricks, and analysis that should ease you into getting started.
But before we begin, it’s important to note that coming up with a new strategy isn’t limited to improving on what you did last year. Equally vital to creating an effective social media plan is reviewing what you did—what worked, what was lacking, and what your data says about the direction you should take.
To try and see what the coming year holds, you need to take note of the significant developments 2017 brought to the world of social media. Here are some of the more noteworthy changes that came to the different social media platforms.
Ephemeral content came into its own in 2017, with Facebook rolling out an option to syndicate Instagram Stories last October. This development has made brands’ utilization of Stories an extremely crucial aspect of any social media marketing strategy.
The ease with which you can syndicate Stories on different platforms is already great news for brands. The exponential reach brought about by this feature only adds to the power of short-lived, albeit, more authentic content.
Influencer marketing isn’t going anywhere. Its effectivity as a strategy goes beyond the stat from Twitter analytics firm Annalect suggesting that 40 percent of people made online purchases after seeing a product being promoted by a social media influencer.
But because consumers are increasingly placing value on authenticity and transparency, Instagram rolled out its “paid partnership with” tag. According to Instagram, the feature ensures that the community easily recognizes when someone is paid to post content.
But more importantly for brands, the tag provides marketers access to data on influencers’ posts – making the previously tricky task of measuring influencer marketing ROI that much easier.
In early November, Twitter raised its limit to 280 characters – giving brands and marketers more space to relay their stories.
And while visual content will continue to dominate social media, according to Social Flow, the small sample size has shown that users are like and retweeting longer tweets two times more than shorter ones.
Now that we’ve done a quick run through of some of the most significant social media developments in 2017, let’s move on to some predictions of things and trends you should take note of in crafting your 2018 social media marketing plan.
In the middle of 2017, it wasn’t too difficult to notice that you were seeing less content from the accounts you were following. The major platforms’ conscious decision to change its algorithms means that the days of free content exposure will continue to decline.
This means that paid social will no longer be an option for brand marketers, but a necessity. Brands will need to be more thoughtful in its use of paid social – taking everything from targeting and scheduling, to which content to boost into careful consideration.
This development is also seen to push a significant increase in outbound marketing, with brands reaching out to audiences rather than letting them find their content.
Stories have a raw, more authentic feel compared to carefully curated content – and this is a big reason why people have increasingly gravitated towards this kind of content. But apart from feeling more real, ephemeral content has a way of playing with people’s FOMO, inciting audiences to not only keep viewing them but to take fast action on any CTA.
The rise of ephemeral content brings to fore a number of possibilities for marketers. From re-purposing content to fit the format, to come up with special offers that are only available as long as the content is – there are a plethora of ways marketers can make ephemeral content work for them.
As previously discussed, Instagram took an initiative to ensure transparency with influencers’ sponsored posts. On a similar, but exponentially more serious note, Facebook is currently testing a feature that will let users see what ads an organization has purchased, and how they’ve been targeted.
Apart from being a response to consumers’ preference for transparency, the initiative is a response to the pressure put on Facebook to take responsibility for its role in shaping political discourse.
For its part, Twitter has also launched its transparency center, which allows everyone to know who is behind an ad, how long it’s been running while providing users a platform to give feedback.
Ad transparency will only grow as 2018 moves along. Marketers will have to be continually mindful of this as they craft their social strategies.
Again, before you come up with a plan, it’s integral for you to re-assess how you’re using social media and its effectivity. This way, you can see what works, what doesn’t, and what could use improvement.
It’s important to note that it’s better to focus on a couple of social media channels than to try and maintain an unfocused presence on every social network. So once you see where your audience is, and how they’re using the platform, you can begin to use that information to your advantage when crafting your social media plan.
Before you come up with any plan, it’s important to clearly establish your goals and objectives. Having carefully and clearly defined set of goals not just allows you have a structure for your social media marketing plan, it also helps you to measure its success.
Oberlo has a number of valuable tips when it comes to setting social media goals. One of them goes against vanity metrics (likes, retweets) because unless your objective is to measure reach, it doesn’t provide any tangible insight into business growth. Instead, the drop shipping app recommends using metrics like leads generated, and conversion rate.
Not every organization is big enough to have a dedicated team of marketers to create and curate content for your social media marketing. One excellent way to get an idea of what could work for you is to look at other brands in your niche. Taking a look at what kinds of content your competitors are posting, and measuring how it performs, gives you an idea, not only of what works with the audience but also for how you can create content that can stand out.
Apart from your competitors, you can also look at your targeted audience to see how they’re engaging with different platforms and content. This way, you can get a good idea of what types of content resonate with them – helping you come up with similar ones, and boosting your chances of achieving your goals.
As well, industry leaders are a great source of inspiration when it comes to social media marketing. Because while you may not have the reach or the resources to emulate their success, there’s plenty of great ideas you can implement to your own strategy.
After having a clear analysis of your past social media activities, the predictions for 2018, and gaining social media inspiration, you should have an idea of what strategies you should focus on in the coming year.
The next step is to find out the number of resources at your disposal. Just like having a clear set of goals is to the plan, having a complete understanding of how much is at your disposal when it comes to social media marketing is essential before you proceed to craft your plan.
It is good to create a presentation to the dedicated individual in your company/brand about your target plans the coming year, including your estimated expenses. In this way, it will help your company identify which to invest into and which strategies to debunk, in accordance with the budget your company is willing to allocate to your department.
While authenticity and transparency, as previously discussed, are important elements in social media marketing – one factor has remained crucial to any strategy’s success – consistency. And this is what makes having a content calendar an integral part of any social media marketing plan.
What types of content will I post?
How will my posts inform and entertain my audience?
Do my posts help achieve my goals?
Meanwhile, tools like Hootsuite (which are free to sign up for) allow you to schedule social media posts in advance, automating the process of posting at specific times.
Once you fill up your calendar, take note of which type of content works best, and which times of posting get more engagement – this will help you improve your calendar as you move forward.
Though certain elements like consistency in posting persist, there are a number of variables in social media that can change without notice. This makes it important to integrate testing capabilities into the actions you take on social media.
Tracking number of link clicks on different platforms using URL shorteners and UTM parameters.
Analyzing your hits and misses and adjusting your plan accordingly will keep you from spending valuable resources on platforms and posts that don’t resonate with your audience.
This is a tool that helps you dig deeper into Twitter analytics for growth on the platform. It tells you who your followers are, where they’re located, and when they tweet. Followerwonk also allows you to search Twitter bios to connect with anyone on the platform and helps you find new influencers in your niche. The tool then provides actionable visualizations that you can compare and share with others.
Followerwonk is just one of many valuable Twitter tools at your disposal. All you need to do is find out exactly what you need.
Essentially, this in-app tool helps you understand who among your audience is most engaged with your Facebook Page. From the most basic metrics like likes, reach, and engagement, to when your fans are on Facebook content, and what types of content are – Page Insights helps you determine the tastes and interests of your target market.
Canva has been called the easiest design program in the world. Available on desktop and mobile, the app provides you access to over 60,000 templates designed by the Canva community. Whether it’s an Instagram post, a Story, a social graphic, posters, or invites, creating beautiful designs has never been easier. Just tap on a design element to edit, and the rest is up to you.
Ideal for bigger teams, Trello allows you to work more collaboratively with its boards, lists, and cards that enables the team to organize and prioritize projects. Be it onboarding new team members, updating lead or project status, this free tool keeps everyone up to speed.
Social media is a continually changing landscape. As such, your social media marketing plan should keep with the times. Users respond differently to each new feature that different platforms roll out.
Keeping your finger on the pulse of these developments and subsequent reactions will allow you to tinker and optimize your social media marketing accordingly.

 Ephemeral content came into its own in 2017 , with Facebook rolling out an option to syndicate Instagram Stories last October . This development has made brands ’ utilization of Stories an extremely crucial aspect of any social media marketing strategy .
 The ease with which you can syndicate Stories on different platforms is already great news for brands . The exponential reach brought about by this feature only adds to the power of short - lived , albeit , more authentic content .
 Influencer marketing is n’t going anywhere . Its effectivity as a strategy goes beyond the stat from Twitter analytics firm Annalect suggesting that 40 percent of people made online purchases after seeing a product being promoted by a social media influencer .
 But because consumers are increasingly placing value on authenticity and transparency , Instagram rolled out its “ paid partnership with ” tag . According to Instagram , the feature ensures that the community easily recognizes when someone is paid to post content .
 But more importantly for brands , the tag provides marketers access to data on influencers ’ posts – making the previously tricky task of measuring influencer marketing ROI that much easier .
 In early November , Twitter raised its limit to 280 characters – giving brands and marketers more space to relay their stories .
 And while visual content will continue to dominate social media , according to Social Flow , the small sample size has shown that users are like and retweeting longer tweets two times more than shorter ones .
 Now that we ’ve done a quick run through of some of the most significant social media developments in 2017 , let ’s move on to some predictions of things and trends you should take note of in crafting your 2018 social media marketing plan .
 In the middle of 2017 , it was n’t too difficult to notice that you were seeing less content from the accounts you were following . The major platforms ’ conscious decision to change its algorithms means that the days of free content exposure will continue to decline .
 This means that paid social will no longer be an option for brand marketers , but a necessity . Brands will need to be more thoughtful in its use of paid social – taking everything from targeting and scheduling , to which content to boost into careful consideration .
 This development is also seen to push a significant increase in outbound marketing , with brands reaching out to audiences rather than letting them find their content .
 Stories have a raw , more authentic feel compared to carefully curated content – and this is a big reason why people have increasingly gravitated towards this kind of content . But apart from feeling more real , ephemeral content has a way of playing with people ’s FOMO , inciting audiences to not only keep viewing them but to take fast action on any CTA .
 The rise of ephemeral content brings to fore a number of possibilities for marketers . From re - purposing content to fit the format , to come up with special offers that are only available as long as the content is – there are a plethora of ways marketers can make ephemeral content work for them .
 As previously discussed , Instagram took an initiative to ensure transparency with influencers ’ sponsored posts . On a similar , but exponentially more serious note , Facebook is currently testing a feature that will let users see what ads an organization has purchased , and how they ’ve been targeted .
 Apart from being a response to consumers ’ preference for transparency , the initiative is a response to the pressure put on Facebook to take responsibility for its role in shaping political discourse .
 For its part , Twitter has also launched its transparency center , which allows everyone to know who is behind an ad , how long it ’s been running while providing users a platform to give feedback .
 Ad transparency will only grow as 2018 moves along . Marketers will have to be continually mindful of this as they craft their social strategies .
 Again , before you come up with a plan , it ’s integral for you to re - assess how you ’re using social media and its effectivity . This way , you can see what works , what does n’t , and what could use improvement .
 It ’s important to note that it ’s better to focus on a couple of social media channels than to try and maintain an unfocused presence on every social network . So once you see where your audience is , and how they ’re using the platform , you can begin to use that information to your advantage when crafting your social media plan .
 Before you come up with any plan , it ’s important to clearly establish your goals and objectives . Having carefully and clearly defined set of goals not just allows you have a structure for your social media marketing plan , it also helps you to measure its success .
 Oberlo has a number of valuable tips when it comes to setting social media goals . One of them goes against vanity metrics ( likes , retweets ) because unless your objective is to measure reach , it does n’t provide any tangible insight into business growth . Instead , the drop shipping app recommends using metrics like leads generated , and conversion rate .
 Not every organization is big enough to have a dedicated team of marketers to create and curate content for your social media marketing . One excellent way to get an idea of what could work for you is to look at other brands in your niche . Taking a look at what kinds of content your competitors are posting , and measuring how it performs , gives you an idea , not only of what works with the audience but also for how you can create content that can stand out .
 Apart from your competitors , you can also look at your targeted audience to see how they ’re engaging with different platforms and content . This way , you can get a good idea of what types of content resonate with them – helping you come up with similar ones , and boosting your chances of achieving your goals .
 As well , industry leaders are a great source of inspiration when it comes to social media marketing . Because while you may not have the reach or the resources to emulate their success , there ’s plenty of great ideas you can implement to your own strategy .
 After having a clear analysis of your past social media activities , the predictions for 2018 , and gaining social media inspiration , you should have an idea of what strategies you should focus on in the coming year .
 The next step is to find out the number of resources at your disposal . Just like having a clear set of goals is to the plan , having a complete understanding of how much is at your disposal when it comes to social media marketing is essential before you proceed to craft your plan .
 It is good to create a presentation to the dedicated individual in your company / brand about your target plans the coming year , including your estimated expenses . In this way , it will help your company identify which to invest into and which strategies to debunk , in accordance with the budget your company is willing to allocate to your department .
 While authenticity and transparency , as previously discussed , are important elements in social media marketing – one factor has remained crucial to any strategy ’s success – consistency . And this is what makes having a content calendar an integral part of any social media marketing plan .
 What types of content will I post ?
 How will my posts inform and entertain my audience ?
 Do my posts help achieve my goals ?
 Meanwhile , tools like Hootsuite ( which are free to sign up for ) allow you to schedule social media posts in advance , automating the process of posting at specific times .
 Once you fill up your calendar , take note of which type of content works best , and which times of posting get more engagement – this will help you improve your calendar as you move forward .
 Though certain elements like consistency in posting persist , there are a number of variables in social media that can change without notice . This makes it important to integrate testing capabilities into the actions you take on social media .
 Tracking number of link clicks on different platforms using URL shorteners and UTM parameters .
 Analyzing your hits and misses and adjusting your plan accordingly will keep you from spending valuable resources on platforms and posts that do n’t resonate with your audience .
 This is a tool that helps you dig deeper into Twitter analytics for growth on the platform . It tells you who your followers are , where they ’re located , and when they tweet . Followerwonk also allows you to search Twitter bios to connect with anyone on the platform and helps you find new influencers in your niche . The tool then provides actionable visualizations that you can compare and share with others .
 Followerwonk is just one of many valuable Twitter tools at your disposal . All you need to do is find out exactly what you need .
 Essentially , this in - app tool helps you understand who among your audience is most engaged with your Facebook Page . From the most basic metrics like likes , reach , and engagement , to when your fans are on Facebook content , and what types of content are – Page Insights helps you determine the tastes and interests of your target market .
 Canva has been called the easiest design program in the world . Available on desktop and mobile , the app provides you access to over 60,000 templates designed by the Canva community . Whether it ’s an Instagram post , a Story , a social graphic , posters , or invites , creating beautiful designs has never been easier . Just tap on a design element to edit , and the rest is up to you .
 Ideal for bigger teams , Trello allows you to work more collaboratively with its boards , lists , and cards that enables the team to organize and prioritize projects . Be it onboarding new team members , updating lead or project status , this free tool keeps everyone up to speed .
 Social media is a continually changing landscape . As such , your social media marketing plan should keep with the times . Users respond differently to each new feature that different platforms roll out .
 Keeping your finger on the pulse of these developments and subsequent reactions will allow you to tinker and optimize your social media marketing accordingly .
 What kind of social media strategies did you implement last year ? How are you looking to improve on them this 2018 ?

binning, dumpster diving, narcotics, skip diving, Vancouver B.C.
People should always take their old and unneeded prescription medications to a pharmacy for disposal but often they just throw them in the garbage.
The latest in a long line of discarded drugs that I’ve found is worth highlighting; it’s a three-quarter-full bottle of tramadol-acetaminophen—plucked out of a dumpster a few weeks ago.
Tramadol is a strong, prescription-only opioid pain medication, which (like the opioid codeine) becomes more potent when it’s combined with acetaminophen (aka, paracetamol), the active ingredient of over-the-counter pain remedies, such as Tylenol.
The caplet-style tablets are embossed on one side with “APO”, which is short for Apotex—Canada’s largest producer of generic drugs. The other side of the caplets are embossed with “37.5-325”, which refers to the active ingredients: 37.5 mg of tramadol hydrochloride and 325 mg of acetaminophen.
Tramadol is a synthetic opioid that was introduced in 1995 with the expectation that it would be a powerful analgesic with a very low risk of causing dependency. In practice, however, it hasn’t worked out that way. Tramadol is a potent opioid, with much the same dependency and overdose risk inherent with any potent opioid.
Tramadol, however, is made even more dangerous by the contradictory information available about it on the Internet. I can’t think of another opioid drug that is the subject of such polarized reporting.
For every report describing it as a dangerous overdose risk, there seems to be a contrary characterization of tramadol as a comparatively mild and safe opioid.
So a 2011 case study of a single tramadol overdose from the Proceedings of Singapore Healthcare, does not particularly undercut its introductory statement, that tramadol “is considered to have a low abuse potential and [be] devoid of side effects like drug dependence.” At the same time, other reports from 2011 refer to 379 overdose deaths involving Tramadol that year in Florida alone.
Unfortunately, it’s impossible to source the above overdose claim. Most overdose statistics, such as those collated by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation lump tramadol in a catch-all “synthetic opioids” category.
In 2014, the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) finally classified tramadol as a Schedule IV controlled substance; putting it in the company of drugs like Xanax, Soma, Darvocet, Valium, and Ambien. This at least acknowledged the reality that the drug could be and was being abused.
Perhaps the most alarming thing I’ve read about tramadol is not that it can cause life-threatening overdoses but the possibility (noticed in and around 2011) that naloxone—the magic bullet against opioid overdoses, which makes the harm reduction of supervised injection.consumption sites possible—may not, by itself, reverse tramadol overdoses and may actually make them worse by inducing seizures!
The bottle of tramadol caplets I found in a dumpster is headed straight for a pharmacy in Vancouver, where it will be properly disposed of.
Under the British Columbia Medications Return Program (BCMRP), operated by the Health Products Stewardship Association, all pharmacies across the province accept all surplus and outdated prescription drugs and most over-the-counter drugs.
Taking your old and unneeded medications to a pharmacy for disposal eliminates both the harms of accidental ingestion and environmental contamination.
Always wear gloves when you dig through a dumpster. That way you won’t get ink all over your hands if you handle a leaky, syringe-shaped ballpoint pen.
The sharp-looking pen that I found on Monday (April 30) is embossed with the name and address of Biomed Dispose-It Ltd., a Burnaby, B.C. company which sells a range of plastic disposal containers for biohazards and sharps, i.e., syringes.
Here’s some food for thought about the green Play-Doh that I binned last week.
According to Hasbro, the children’s modeling material is made of little more than wheat flour, water and salt. Meaning that the stuff is basically raw, unleavened (and brightly-coloured) flatbread dough—edible and with a long shelf life.
Ridiculously, Play-Doh only needs a little baking soda and sugar to qualify as bannock—a flat quick bread that countless Canadians, such as myself, grew up being told was “indigenous bread” (to paraphrase) and which many of us made out of flour, water, salt, sugar and baking powder and then roasted (wrapping the dough around birch switches) like hotdogs, over open fires at summer cottages near northern Canadian lakes.
Contrary to what I was told as a child, indigenous peoples did not invent bannock; it came to Canada from Scotland, with Anglo-European colonization, over 200 years ago. Similarly, Play-Doh wasn’t always a plaything the way you might imagine.
Just as Crisco shortening was invented to make candles and soap, Play-Doh actually started out in the 1930s as a wallpaper cleaner—but that’s a whole other story. Click the images to enlarge them.
That’s a lot of digging for info to educate us. Thanks.

Donald Trump won the electoral college, made a brief statement about bringing the country back together, and is now putting together an extreme right wing team that includes Steve Bannon, whose publication was abetted by and gave a voice to white supremacists, as chief advisor. As promised, he is likely to implement a reign of terror against Muslims and “illegal immigrants”. Never mind the United States role in helping to create the conditions that many of these people are fleeing.
Our president elect is not going to stop at Muslims and Mexicans. Also on his hit list will be environmentalists, civil libertarians, labor leaders, educators, journalists who don’t toe the line, and anyone else he deems an enemy. To implement his agenda he will have the full power of the NSA, CIA, FBI and ICE at his disposal.
It is time to come together and protect our neighbors, co-workers, family members, customers and friends. Hudson County at all levels of government should stand up against this agenda in every way possible, including declaring our cities to be sanctuaries. We must resist the threats of withholding federal funds, even if it causes, real problems. If we give in to blackmail, when will it end?

Principal A E Darrah was relieved at the end of the 1911-12 school year and was replaced by City High Principal John S Ziegler. Other faculty members leaving with Darrah included music instructors Charles and Julia Garratt (replaced by Reita Faxon Pryor), Harriet Greve (took leave for MA at Columbia), and Mary Elizabeth Beck. Alpha Davis was added as a science teacher and Marguerite Aull for English and Speech.
Marguerite Aull was born in Cincinnati, OH to German immigrant Edward A Aull and Mary Schroeder Aull in 1885. Her family moved to Chattanooga around 1890 where her father was a prominent businessman and member of the Board of Education. Marguerite and her younger sister Katrina both attended and received BA degrees from UC. In the 1909-10 UC register, Marguerite was listed as the first librarian on record. She was teaching at the 20th District school in St. Elmo before joining the Central High faculty in 1912 as a Speech and English teacher. Aull remained on the faculty until the end of the 1920-21 school year, when she took leave to complete her MA at the University of Wisconsin. She returned to teaching at City High in the fall of 1923. She was a member of the National Speech Arts Association and a pioneer in teaching gifted students. Her article, “Capitalizing the Extra Bright Child ” was featured in the Peabody Journal Of Education Vol 2, No.3, Nov. 1924. Aull was also considered an expert librarian, having organized libraries in Cleveland and Richard City, TN and at Ursuline College. She was also heavily involved with the Chattanooga Little Theater from its inception. Unmarried, she passed away at only 44 years of age on Feb 27, 1929 at Erlanger Hospital and was buried in Cincinnati.
Alpha Davis, the oldest of three children, was born in Morganville, Dade County, GA Sept 11, 1887 to Dr. Kansas D and Lula Rogers Davis. Her family moved to St. Elmo before 1900 and she graduated from UC around 1910. Ms. Davis taught at the Third District school before joining Central’s faculty in 1912 as a science teacher. Davis left Central at the end of the 1916-17 school year, married lawyer (later judge) George E Westerberg on 9/12/17, and moved to Cleveland, TN. She remained active in Chattanooga, serving as a regent for the Chattanooga Chapter of DAR and president of the local UDC. Alpha and George had two children, George D (1919) and Ellen (1923). Alpha taught English and history at Bradley County High until the early 1940s. In 1937 she directed a local history project wherein her students collected and submitted family histories to the Bradley County library. Her daughter also archived local history records for Bradley County before WW2. Alpha Davis Westerberg passed away on Feb 12, 1965 and is buried in Fort Hill Cemetery, Cleveland TN beside her husband and two children.
Reita Faxon Pryor was born in Clarksville, TN August 1, 1876, the third of four children, to John Wellington and Florence Herring Faxon. Her father served in the Confederate Army, became a prominent banker in Clarksville, and moved to Chattanooga in 1891 to become Assistant Cashier of the First National Bank. Ms. Faxon studied voice in Germany and married William Henry Pryor Oct 5, 1909 in New York City. W H Pryor became an insurance executive with the Pryor, Love, and Lewis firm in Chattanooga.
Ms. Pryor was heavily involved in the local chorale and symphonies, performing in public many times as a soprano and served on the Community Concerts Board. She accepted an appointment at Central in fall of 1912 to teach vocal music and direct the glee clubs, and remained at Central until 1921. She and her husband were childless and moved to Summertown on Signal Mountain in the 1920s where they lived for many years. Widowed, Ms Pryor moved to Lookout Mountain in 1957, passing away on her 82nd birthday, August 1, 1958.
Central’s second principal, John Sherman Ziegler, was born in Meigs County, TN on Feb 3, 1873, the third of eight children to William B. and Tennessee Reynolds Ziegler. After education in the Meigs schools, Ziegler taught for several years before entering UT IN 1895, being admitted to Law School in 1897, and graduating with an LLB in 1899. Ziegler returned to teaching, coming to the Chattanooga school system in the early 1900s, culminating in his appointment as the Principal of City High in fall, 1910. He was publicly opposed to playing Central in athletics while Darrah was principal, and, ironically, became Darrah’s immediate successor in the fall of 1912. Ziegler was noted for ousting former Darrah allies and drew public criticism for his dismissal of Charles McGuffey in 1915. Under Ziegler, faculty turnover increased markedly over his predecessor. His lack of support for Coach Rike was a major factor in Central’s rapid decline in athletics and Rike’s resignation in 1918. Ziegler was, however, responsible for one major part of Central’s traditions, in that he requested funds (that were approved) and initiated military training in the spring of 1916, leading to Central’s being the first JROTC unit in Tennessee in 1919. Ziegler left Central at the end of the 1920-21 school year (replaced by Stacy E Nelson), eventually becoming the Supt of Hamilton County Schools, then State Superintendent of Schools, and finally the first president of Austin Peay College in Clarksville , TN in 1929. At the end of his first year at Austin Peay, Ziegler became ill while giving an address to the graduates of Clarksville High School, and succumbed to an apparent heart attack on May 8, 1930. He was buried two days later in Forest Hills Cemetery in Chattanooga. He and his wife, Margaret, had no children.

This places heavy demands on the ability of your organisation and suppliers to develop new products that are sustainable from the outset.
How can you build stronger partnerships with your suppliers and include them in the very beginning of an innovation process?
It is a fact that 90% of companies do not include their suppliers in their innovation processes. 69.9% of corporate revenue is directed towards externalised, supplier driven cost. Suppliers should be viewed as an extension of the company. They should be incentivised, coached, sanctioned and rewarded to help achieve corporate objectives.
Procurement teams are often disconnected from the functions they serve and the markets they engage with. They are not fluent in the nuances of the business and hence lack expertise and authority. And besides that their typical response is: "let's run a sourcing exercise and issue a tender which takes too much time".
You could say that procurement has to move from a focus on savings, contract compliance and risk reduction to a focus on time to market, product success and project efficiency. And suppliers will have to engage and understand the agenda even further.
How can you build partnerships?
You can also empower your partnerships with a “supplier management platform”. Have a look at the Supplier Management Platform from State of Flux Technologies.
It is an integrated platform that empowers enterprise-wide connection, collaboration and value creation. You can manage suppliers, contracts and categories, to reduce risk and cost; drive innovation; improve performance; and build relationships with your suppliers and business partners.
Many do not believe that ideas coming from outside can be used (Source: Henry Chesbrough of the Center for Innovation, Berkeley, California).
When a solution doesn’t suit an individual business unit but may be used in whole or part in another part of the organisation, a supplier might not be informed - not because of ignorance, but because of a lack of awareness that the requirement exists elsewhere in the organisation.
Some customers want complete control over the IP rights, which suppliers are unable to provide. In the worst case, this can terminate the process.
Procurement forgets to incorporate KPIs related to innovation into the cooperation. One might well give a reward for the number of ideas a supplier has made over one year. You could also segment the suppliers from an innovation point of view (gold, silver or bronze).
Including the use of scorecards: How many ideas have they come up with? How useful are the ideas? How much value do they bring to the company? How much they save us per year?
What technological investments, new product developments and capacity forecasts are suppliers anticipating in the coming year?
Responsible Procurement Excellence is specialised in helping companies around the world develop and integrate an actionable approach to Responsible Procurement. An actionable approach goes beyond compliance, and has a positive effect on the reputation, cost and efficiency.
