Cradle to Cradle (C2C) : The 2nd tool in Designer's Toolkit
Before we go into this tool of C2C, let's look at these 2 questions?
"How can we love all the children of the world of all times all the time?"
"What was it before it was a bottle and what it will be after it is no longer a bottle?"
These are some of the questions that designers are asking to address the sustainability issues. The first one is asked by designers at MBDC (McDonnough Braungart Design Chemistry), a C2C consulting firm. The second one is a question asked at Method, a radical detergent company with a cult like following.
The idea is to close the loop in the product's life cycle, where in the waste becomes the feedstock for the next product. It is based on the 'Precautionary Principle' that prompts companies to take a precautionary action before scientific certainty. It also expands on the Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) that a manufacturer has for product's lifecycle – that responsibility doesn't end upon selling to the customer but extends to the ultimate disposal of materials.
Waste equals food
The traditional linear system of Extraction, Processing, Manufacturing, Distribution, Consumption and Disposal or simply put by many – 'take, make, break' is fast moving towards a cyclic system of cradle-cradle design thinking where waste streams of one industry can be served as a raw material for another, in the process completely eliminating waste.
Michael Braungart and Bill McDonnough of MBDC are long standing proponents of C2C design thinking, developing a multi-attribute eco-label that assesses a product's safety to humans and environment.
Numerous companies like Aveda of Estee Lauder group, Pepsico, Nike, Volvo have taken the C2C road. To get a sense of what companies are up to, let's explore some examples.
- Eco-system sharing by Coke and Patagonia: Though belonging to totally different industries, they share eco-resources – discarded PET bottles from Coke are converted into pellets which Patagonia uses for making its polyester Polar Fleece, shirts and pullovers, thus preventing over 100 million plastic bottles from ending up in the Atlantic or landfills.
- Caterpillar, manufacturer of heavy machinery has been re-manufacturing its old engines as new since 20 years. This is only possible when engines have been designed in such a way that they can either be completely re-manufactured or recycled to keep any waste from going into the landfills.
- GM having learnt its lesson has saved millions of dollars by diverting their waste streams back into the loop, which otherwise would've ended up in landfills. Out of its 76 factories worldwide, more than half are 'landfill-free certified'
- Terracycle, a US based, now fast growing internationally, up-cycles all the waste thrown by people around the world to convert into food and sells it to different industries as a raw material. It even pays people to get them to collect and drop the waste in collection centers.
- Plant Bottle: Developed by Coke and now adopted by Heinz also, the recyclable plant bottle is made up of 30% plant material. Certainly a step in right direction.
Resource recovery is a process through which either products, materials and energy values are captured from the waste or residual streams and reused in other or future production-consumption cycles.

Designers need to think in terms of 'getting more from same'. Some one aptly said – There is no waste – only wasted resources – only if we could put them to use.
The Circular Economy 100 or CE100 is another great initiative recently started by the Ellen Macarthur foundation. The circular economy is a generic term for an economy that is regenerative by design. Materials flows are of two types, biological materials, designed to reenter the biosphere, and technical materials, designed to circulate with minimal loss of quality, in turn entraining the shift towards an economy ultimately powered by renewable energy. All living, non-living, man-made things put something into the earth – the question to ask is – How do we minimize on that? Here's a short video for further understanding.

Brunnera macrophylla has always been a popular shade plant because it has long-lasting sprays of bright blue flowers and because it is so low maintenance. Although Brunnera is a slow grower, the green-leaved species will eventually spread out and make a nice ground cover. The flashier variegated varieties are a bit slower to fill out, but provide interest and color all season.
One of Brunner's common names, bugloss, is derived from the Greek words for "ox" and "tongue", as the leaves are thought to resemble an ox tongue. Whether or not that is true, it is true that Brunnera plants are deer resistant.
It's easier to see how it got its other common name, False Forget-Me-Not. The blue flowers may have you doing a double-take.
- Botanical Name: Brunnera macrophylla, pronounced BRUN-er-ah, with the accent on the first syllable.
- Common Names: Siberian Bugloss, False Forget-Me-Not, Heartleaf Brunnera
- Plant Type: A slow-spreading, clump-forming perennial.
- Mature Plant Size: Brunnera is not a large plant. It forms a low mound with the height coming from the flower stalks. Expect it to reach a mature size of 12 to 20 inches (h) x 12 to 24 inches (w). Many of the cultivars will spread less quickly than the species.
- Sun Exposure: Plant in partial to full shade. Brunnera can grow in full sun, but it will need more moisture. The variegated leaves can easily burn in direct sunlight and plants may go dormant in extreme heat.
- Bloom Time: You will start to get sprays of blue flowers in mid- to late spring. Brunnera can stay in bloom for about 4 weeks.
- Flower Color: The delicate, 5-petaled, blue flowers come in sprays held above the foliage. They range from pastel to electric blue, often with a yellow center.
- Leaves: The first leaves of the season tend to be oblong, but later leaves are heart-shaped, slightly puckered, and many have a tendency to curl or furl. They can be a solid deep green or variegated or spotted with silvery-white tones.
- Hardiness Zones: Most varieties are hardy in USDA Zones 3 - 9.
- Native Area: Siberia and parts of the Mediterranean but has not become invasive when grown in other areas.
Brunnera is not particular about soil pH, but it does like rich, moist soil. Lots of organic matter and organic mulch will help it become established quickly and keep it growing well.
Propagating Brunnera
Only the species Brunnera macrophylla will grow true from seed. Start the seeds in fall if you want blooms the first season. When the plants are in good growing conditions, they will self-seed on their own.
Brunnera cultivars are started as plants. Although they will set seed, they do not grow true to seed and the resulting plants will not necessarily look like the original plant.
Brunnera plants prefer rich soil but do not require supplemental feeding, as long as the soil is not too poor or dry.
Keep new plants well watered. While Brunnera plants prefer constant moisture, they will become more drought tolerant once they are established. Mulching will help maintain the cool, moist soil that Brunnera prefers.
Suggested Varieties
The species, with solid green leaves, is readily available. It has the lovely sprays of blue flower and is an extremely tough plant. Some of the newer cultivars include:
- Brunnera "Diane's Gold" - Golden-yellow leaves and blue flowers.
- Brunnera "Hadspen Cream" - Large leaves with irregular white outer margins.
- Brunnera "Jack Frost" - Silvery leaves with green veins.
- Brunnera "Langtrees" (aka "Silver Spot") - Leaves are dotted with silver. A very hardy plant.
- Brunnera "Looking Glass" - Silver leaves look almost metallic.
Growing in Containers
Brunnera is also a great choice for containers. The variegated leaf varieties will make a nice filler throughout the season. Many are hardy enough to remain in containers throughout the winter, with a little extra protection.
Garden Design Suggestions
Use Brunnera in shade gardens, woodland settings, and near ponds. It can make a great ground cover and looks beautiful lining a path or border, although it can take a while to fill in.
Since deer and slugs do not often bother Brunnera, it makes a nice alternative to Hosta. Companions with different textures and leaf shapes include hellebores, iris, hostas, bleeding heart, geraniums, and even late-blooming daffodils.
The older leaves may start to get tattered and can be cut back during the growing season, to encourage new leaves to fill in. Don't cut the whole plant back to the ground in the fall. The leaves will help protect the crown during winter and you can easily prune the plant in the spring when the new leaves begin to emerge.
If you do not want your plants to self-seed, deadhead as the flowers start to fade. If you would like to collect the seed to sow, allow the flowers to dry slightly, then cut and let then finish drying in a paper bag. The seeds will fall off as the flowers dry.
Divide in early spring. Brunnera can be short-lived and dividing your plants about every 3-5 years will keep them around longer.
Since Brunnera prefers cool, moist shade, slugs may become a problem, but varieties with thicker leaves are rarely bothered.

BOSTON (AP) - The state's embattled child protection agency lacks a clear mission, Gov. Charlie Baker said Monday while ordering new policies in the wake of high-profile cases like that of Bella Bond, the toddler known for months as Baby Doe after her remains washed up on the Boston Harbor shoreline.
BOSTON (AP) � The state's embattled child protection agency lacks a clear mission, Gov. Charlie Baker said Monday while ordering new policies in the wake of high-profile cases like that of Bella Bond, the toddler known for months as Baby Doe after her remains washed up on the Boston Harbor shoreline.
The steps are aimed at reducing caseloads and updating the way the Department of Children and Families evaluates and prioritizes allegations it receives of abuse and neglect, the Republican said. He added that some basic procedures at the agency hadn't been changed in more than a decade despite a series of critical reports and studies.
The result was "mission confusion" for social workers in the field and their supervisors, he said.
"We are simplifying and focusing the mission: keep kids safe," he said.
Baker made ongoing problems at DCF a core issue during his campaign to become governor last year, but he has since faced some of the same questions as his predecessors.
The agency has said it twice intervened with Bella's family when she was an infant, once in 2012 and again in 2013 for reasons of neglect. Both cases were closed within a matter of months. DCF also revealed that it had removed two other children from Bella's mother between 2001 and 2007.
Rachelle Bond was charged as an accessory after the fact in the 2-year-old's death, and Bond's boyfriend, Michael McCarthy, is charged with murder.
A key question that emerged is whether social workers who investigated Bella's care were aware that the older children had been removed from the mother, and if that information should have reflected on the decisions to close the 2012 and 2013 cases.
Linda Spears, the DCF commissioner, said Monday she could not immediately answer those questions, citing confidentiality rules and an ongoing investigation by the state's Child Advocate.
Baker said the agency was developing a new standardized policy for assessing the level of risk facing a child. It will include a mandatory review of every family member's history with DCF, "including parental capabilities," and criminal background checks.
Peter MacKinnon, head of a union that represents about 2,900 DCF employees, praised Baker's reform efforts while criticizing previous "patchwork attempts at reform that did little more than create a state of misguided directives, confusing memos and disjointed half-completed policies."
Frontline social workers were left with often confusing and contradictory directives and an ever-increasing caseload that produced what he called "drive-by social work."
Baker said the state was committed to ramping up the hiring of new social workers with the goal of reducing the average number of cases being handled by a single social worker at any given time from the current 20.7 to 18. But he also acknowledged that DCF was a long way from reaching that goal, and would not commit to additional state funding beyond the $35 million increase the agency received in the current fiscal year budget.
Spears, then a vice president of the Child Welfare League of America, led a review of the agency last year after public outrage over the case of Jeremiah Oliver. The 5-year-old Fitchburg boy went missing after social workers lost track of him and his body was later found alongside a state highway.

Foil and strip for packaging
Foil for technical applications
Strip and sheet for heat exchangers
Foil for Household Application
Laminated Aluminium Foil By Pe.
Three Layer Doy Pack Film
Throughout Europe most households are used to having alufoil in the home. It has become an essential part of modern household convenience – for cooking, reducing cleaning chores in the kitchen and for its many uses around the home, garden or workshop. In commercial kitchens too – restaurants, canteens, schools and hospitals – foil is a tool with many functions.
Alufoil's total barrier to light, steam, aromas and liquids is a major reason for its use in the kitchen.
The same properties can be used to stop evaporation and drying of paint, adhesives and fillers used in home decoration.
Also it can deal with the highest temperatures encountered in cooking, whether in a convection oven or under the hottest grill. Another great advantage when used in the kitchen is the 'deadfold' characteristic of aluminium foil. Once folded around a joint of meat, or crimped onto the top of a casserole or storage pot, the alufoil stays folded and does not spring back.

Outfit Story
Valkyrie Mist Project
- Valkyrie Mist (VM), a special module for storing Houkai energy, was added to the Valkyrie-style equipment. This module is combined with a female Valkyrie body to strengthen their physical abilities or to use weapons based on Houkai.
Despite many years of research conducted by the Anti-Entropy organization, the Houkai energy can only exist as a source of bio-energy. Without the cooperation of the female Valkyrie, the VM module cannot use with any weapon.
- However, scientists of the Destiny found that other energy sources can be used to strengthen the Houkai energy. This is called Nexus System.
The Nexus System uses nuclear energy and uses powerful currents to stimulate the VM modules and increase the output of Houkai energy, further enhancing the power of Valkyrie's physical ability and the power of the weapons used. Himeko is actively experimenting with the Nexus project and is undergoing further physical transformation.
Nuclear Fusion - Scarlet
- By using Nuclear energy, the Fusion armor can deliver deadly power to Emperor-level Houkai beast or even a weak Ruler.
Fusion - Scarlet
- Based on the old-fashioned Valkyrie armor, it is equipped with a special armor made of the "Nexus System" still under test. It has a heavy-armed full-load type and a light-handle type that is easy to move.
As a completely enhanced specialization system, the "Nexus System" has almost no design for security purposes, so the Far East Branch also listed the system as the last resort.
- In the lightweight form, the armor can be operated independently. If you want to use the real power of the "Nexus system", you must connect it to a large energy supply device in full state.
When it was powered by battleship-class energy, its output power will reach a level above the Emperor-level Houkai beast, however if the suit is operated for a long time, the armor itself will be in danger of being overloaded.
- Despite this, Himeko will not hesitate to launch this dangerous armor in the face of a tough enemy.
Fusion - Origin
- This is the First Prototype Fusion-class Battlesuit designed to accommodate massive amounts of power. Not many of these suits are around nowadays.
Fusion - Scarlet Mist
- The Valkyrie in red armor wields a giant, heavy sword. Like a red mist, she sweeps across the battlefield.
Summer Party
- Even when overwhelmed by work, a female warrior can never forget to change her attire. Who knows, maybe she'll be able to go to the summer party this evening and have a romantic adventure?

You work in HR. You're in charge of everything people-related within your organization. You might be involved in Recruiting, Learning & Development, Payroll, and many others, including analyzing and creating salary grades for each of your colleagues' job categories. You know (in detail) the image of their industry mirrored in salary ranges for each seniority level.
But do you know what the salary ranges look for us, HR Professionals? You told us there is a need to have a more detailed picture of this, so we acted on it. We asked the HR Hub Community to respond to a questionnaire and, with their help, we gathered 1000 responses from all around Romania.
Let's explore more!
Salary Ranges
Below you'll find data for the most popular categories of roles. Please keep in mind that the difference between Bucharest and the rest of Romania in terms of salary is around 500 - 1000 RON Net.
* Junior - 0-3 years of experience; Mid - 3-5 years of experience; Senior - 5+ years of experience.
** HR Business Partners at mid level have at least 5-7 years of experience and 7+ at Senior level.
*** HR Managers at Mid level have at least 5-7 years of experience, while at Senior level they can reach 10+ years of experience.
The best paid HR Professionals can be found in one of the following industries: Information & Technology, FMCG, Banking, Pharma, Oil & Energy.
Key facts:
Sometimes, the benefits package can make the difference. We wanted to see which benefits are the most popular. On this topic, there weren't many surprises, apart from the fact that working from home and having a flexible work schedule are entering the top 5 benefits:
In terms of benefits, nowadays, time is the most important currency. This is one of the reasons why, more and more professionals are putting great price on the work from home benefit. Having this said, we decided it deserves a highlight per industry. Some industries are offering more flexibility (Telecom, Services, IT and BPO), while some of them are not that permissive (Logistics & Transport, Oil & Energy and Retail).
We hope the information we extracted out of your responses will be as useful to you as we found it.
Thank all of you who took some time to fill in the questionnaire!

Dental Cosmetics Springfield Township, NJ
Visit Smilow Family Dentistry, P.C. for dental cosmetics. We provide comprehensive dental care for patients throughout the Springfield Township area and we can help you to remain in excellent oral health while also improving your smile. We believe that patients can have teeth that are highly functional and look amazing. After all, your teeth are yours for a lifetime, making it important to care for them and enjoy the way they look. To schedule a consultation to discuss possible procedures, call (973) 343-0600.
Why You Should Consider Dental Cosmetics
If you do not like the appearance of your smile, you do not have to live with it. While many people long for a beautiful, white and symmetrical smile, few realize just how easy it is to get one. Using dental cosmetics, we can transform ordinary, damaged or dull smiles into something truly beautiful.
The Differences Between Dental Cosmetics and General Dentistry Services
Most general dentists will focus on preventative care and restorations; which we provide as well. However, we also provide solutions that can improve the way your teeth and gums look. At Smilow Family Dentistry, P.C., we believe that you do not have to choose between the two. You can have a full set of teeth that allows you to eat without any problems and speak clearly, while also looking highly attractive. Our efforts will influence which solutions we suggest when it comes to repairing teeth or providing preventative dental care.
Dental Cosmetics: Restorative Solutions
If you have cracked, chipped, broken, or lost a tooth, we recommend that you visit our Springfield Township office for dental cosmetics. Our restorative solutions make it possible for you to keep your natural teeth in place while restoring their structure and appearance. We can provide restorations that are nearly impossible to tell apart from your natural teeth. A perfect example of how we apply this strategy is in the material we use to place dental crowns. When you visit our dental office with a cracked tooth, we can provide you with a tooth-colored crown as opposed to a silver one. The level of support and durability will be there but the appearance of your tooth will be enhanced.

Dental Cosmetics for Teeth Replacement
Smilow Family Dentistry, P.C. offers several solutions for replacing missing teeth – all of them natural looking. Whether you have lost one or several teeth due to decay, age, infection or an accident, we can replace them using dentures, a dental bridge, or dental implants. We will ensure that no matter which solution you select, the fit will be exact and the appearance as natural as possible. However, if you want a tooth replacement solution that looks and behaves exactly like a natural tooth, you may want to consider dental implants. An implant is the only dental cosmetic solution that replaces both your lost root and tooth. Through the process of osseointegration, the jawbone will provide the same level of stability to your implant and replacement tooth that it did to your natural one. You will then have the ability to eat all off your favorite foods and maintain an active lifestyle. Patients will be able to enjoy the long-term benefits of this and all of our tooth replacement solutions.
Dental Cosmetics for Oral Health
Improving the appearance of your smile can actually improve your oral health when it involves restoring damaged teeth or straightening them. A cracked or chipped tooth has the risk for an infection to set in and for the damage to spread. Crooked teeth are also more difficult to clean. Food can become stuck between the teeth, making it hard to remove the bits of food while brushing and flossing. This creates additional opportunities for plaque to build up and tooth decay to set in. At Smilow Family Dentistry, P.C., we find that dental cosmetics can be an effective solution for both restoring and straightening to improve oral health.
Dental Cosmetics Solutions
We use a variety of cosmetic solutions to improve the health, appearance and functionality of teeth. A comprehensive examination and consultation will help determine the solutions that we choose. A few of the solutions we recommend on a regular basis are:
- Improving health
- Teeth whitening to remove stains and bring back your youthful appearance
- Dental bonding to restore minor damage
- Dental veneers to cover the surface of the teeth and create a stunning smile while also correcting small cracks and chips
- Tooth-colored dental crowns to restore and protect teeth that have been cracked, chipped, or have lost a lot of enamel
- Dental bridges as a secure solution for partial tooth loss
- Dental implants for a permanent way to replace missing teeth
At Smilow Family Dentistry, P.C. we also recommend that you include regular preventative care in any plan that you have for improving your smile. Clean teeth will naturally look much better than teeth that are dirty and unhealthy. Brushing and flossing at home are important first steps; but they are usually not enough to keep your teeth in good health. Visiting our Springfield Township, NJ dental office will help. During these appointments we will remove built up plaque and tartar from your teeth, look for signs of cavities and infections, and treat any oral health conditions right away. This will help to keep your teeth strong so that they are less likely to become damaged and require a restoration.
Dental Cosmetics You Can Depend On
Our goal is to keep you in the best possible oral health so that you can maintain healthy teeth for a lifetime. Our team is compassionate and gentle. We will work to find solutions that are perfect for your individual needs and provide you with dental cosmetics that work to keep you smiling now and as you age. Whether you have lost a tooth or are dealing with an infected and damaged one, we can help. To schedule an appointment to speak with Smilow Family Dentistry, P.C. call 973-343-0600. We look forward to assisting you.
If you live in the Springfield Township area, call (973) 343-0600 to schedule your dental exam so that you can remain in good health or receive treatment for a current condition.

By Shaun Hamill
A Cosmology of Monsters transforms the reader into a perpetual page turning instrument. By means of originality in story telling, complex under layers, smooth transitions from one perspective and time period to the next, prose, and use of well-known monsters…is this list not enough to convince you to read this book yet? Alrighty. Let's move on to other reasons why this should be on your TBR pile.
Hamill and COSMOLOGY feel like classics. He, a novelist that students research for projects, and Cosmology, a story that tells you that horror can be so many things to so many different people. Yet, this is his debut novel!
This story is about a family of five (dad, mom, two daughters, and the youngest, Noah), haunted houses, monsters, and a lurking undertone of Lovecraft. The Turner family dedicates their lives to scaring people, and just like any family, they aren't perfect…by a long shot. It felt like a biography of the Turner family. It was in-depth with each family member, but not to the point where it dragged and slowed down.
Our protagonist, Noah, like any good character, is complicated. I could see myself being friends with him. As far as his decisions go, I don't think I would have reacted the same as him in many of the situations, but isn't that what good stories do? They help us understand other people. They help us understand the strange. They help to dissect ourselves and the labyrinths in our, and other people's, minds. Also, like Noah, some of us don't feel comfortable in our own skin. We don't like our outer appearance for one reason or another. This is something that Noah constantly battles with throughout Cosmology.
What I found most interesting about this book is the line it consistently walked on. It's horror. It's a love letter to H.P. Lovecraft. It's a head nod to the pulp magazine era. It's an appreciation for the evolution of horror throughout the 20th century. It's a great example of what a hybrid story should feel and read like. It isn't full of gore. It's not full of vulgarity (two things, to me, that make it appropriate for a younger audience as much as an older). And you can make a good case of it being literary fiction.
Here's the best part of the book. You don't have to be a fan of Lovecraft. You don't have to be a horror fan. You don't even have to be a fan of monsters. You just have to be a fan of good stories. This is about people. But, more importantly, at the end of the day, some of us are monsters…and some of us blur the line of the two.

Not that I technically have a profession per se, but I think I should become a kindergarden teacher 🙂 If only I could stand children….I just love painting and doing things with stickers and stuff 🙂
In preparation for the arrival of Team Oyeniyi (http://teamoyeniyi.wordpress.com) I made a poster for when we pick them up at the airport. I had so much fun making it and in all honesty I wanted to put more stickers on but hubby told me I was possibly overdoing it 🙂 heheh I can't roll it up either as some of the stickers fall off, so I have to just keep it flat. Currently on the dining room table but I will move it to my car today and place it on the backseat.
I just wanted to give them something they could feel a little happy about, they can stick it on the wall when they get home 🙂
Hope you like it as much as I do! Sorry for the poor image quality, but I took it with my iphone in bad light 🙂

If your business is serving the international customer, you will be having a lot of international traffic on your WordPress website. So it is always important that you make it easier for them to purchase, or compare the products and services. So, it's necessary to add a currency converter in WordPress
A currency converter can be added through a simple WordPress plugin which appears on any page or sidebar to convert the currency according to the settings.
A currency converter in WordPress helps customers to look for the prices in their currency. It makes it convenient for them to look, compare and buy. And I don't think you want them to leave the site and open the calculator to calculate the price of every product that they like.
So, add a currency converter in any WordPress website through these easy steps:
- Open the plugin section and click on Add new. You can go for any plugin you like as long as it has a good number of installations, is recently updated and receives some good reviews. I am using CXB Currency converter. It is a very user-friendly plugin, where you can arrange your widgets, or go on some specific page, to get started they have few steps and its easy for beginners also. So, search for CXB currency converter, install and activate.
- Now it will start showing in your Settings panel, so click on it, and the settings section will open. You will see a general settings section where you can change the layout, decimal places etc.
- Then click on calculator layout settings. Where you need to set up, you want a currency converter in WordPress from which currency to which. You can also put some default amount for customers to understand, and can change the name if you want to.
- Click on list layout settings to set which currency your listing will be in and to what all currency options you need. Here also you can change the name, decimal places, default amount.
Customize it according to your website, as I did for mine.
Once everything is done, click on save changes.
Currency converter in Sidebar as a widget
- Now for displaying it as a widget on your sidebar, hover over the appearance menu and click on widgets option. In the widget settings drag the currency converter to the sidebar and place it.
- And the currency converter in WordPress website will start appearing on your sidebar.
Go to your website and check it.
Currency converter on a page
- Now, if you don't want it in your sidebar and want to set it up on some specific page, you have to copy the shortcode given below. Paste it in your content editor. The shortcode is just for this plugin. Don't usually worry plugins mention their shortcodes in their description or settings. Shortcode: [cbcurrencyconverter]
- After pasting this shortcode, click update. It will appear something like this!
Congratulations! Your currency converter in WordPress is all done, and you can go and have a look on your WordPress website.

After reading the word "lazier" in the headline, you must've thought: "Wait, what? How can you even suggest that? Do you know what you're asking me to do?"
OK, before we get down to the nitty-gritty, let's clear up a few things first.
By "lazier," I'm not talking about copying others' content word-for-word. That's a reprehensible thing to do, no matter how you look at it. It's awful to watch a blog post that took you several hours to write and edit get scraped and turned into white-space filler by a random Internet website.
What I mean by "lazy" is chilling out on the whole "cough up one original post a day" method of blogging. Sure, doing that by your lonesome is great and all, but at some point, your "idea well" is going to become dryer than the driest parts of Antarctica's Dry Valleys. After all, there are only so many things you can say on a subject without repeating what's already been said on 37,840,171,347 other websites.
In that case, you're left with no other option but to repurpose your content.
What's "Repurposing?"
As the name suggests, "repurposing" is changing your content in such a way that its purpose will change. For example, let's say you crafted an anti-smoking blog post aimed at middle-aged people. If you want to target teenage smokers next, you can reuse the ideas from the original post, rewrite it in a way that teenagers understand, and bam! You have a new post that is just as original as the well, original.
Why Repurpose?
The example above demonstrates the most obvious benefit of repurposing: Time. As you know, coming up with original blog post ideas on a regular basis uses up a lot of time (not to mention brainpower). Now, this isn't a problem if you're a hobbyist who updates only once every month. But if you're running a business that's heavily dependent on blog marketing, you can't afford to have a hobbyist's mentality
Also, repurposing helps you:
1. Earn more money.
In business, "time is money" is almost literal. Every hour wasted banging your head against the wall for "inspiration" is a chip away at your bottom line. Conversely, every hour saved by repurposed content is an extra hour for marketing, networking, and other more productive activities.
2. Boost your SEO rankings.
Every piece of repurposed content — especially the ones published on other sites — can be linked back to your site. That gives your blog a major boost in search engine rankings and makes you more noticeable to your target readers. Also, Google likes updated material so that you can use that to your advantage as a repurposer.
3. Reassert your authority.
If your speculative post called "Why There Are No Non-Biological Differences Between Men and Women" turns out to be right 20 years from now, how can you say "I called it!" with confidence when that post is buried six feet underneath your archives?
4. Maximize your content.
You spent hours, days even, to get your posts right. It's only fair to squeeze every last bit of juice out of them by marketing them like crazy, right?
Repurposing to Draw in Bigger Audiences
There are three types of repurposing: (1) changing the format of your content; (2) changing the target audience of your content; and (3) a combination of 1 and 2.
To illustrate No. 1, let's say you have a blog made up of text-only content. Your traffic isn't as healthy as you want it to be, and you wonder why. Then, on one of your blog posts, a reader comments: "You know, I wish I could 'read' your posts while I do my rounds on the treadmill every morning." It hits you: Why not make a podcast version of my posts?
As for No. 2, let's repurpose (heh) everything in the example above — except for Ms. Random Commenter. Let's say she says instead: "This looks cool and all, but I'm only 17 years old, and I only understand, like, half of what you're saying." In response, you write a post called: "The Teenager's Guide to (Insert Topic Here)."
Or, maybe Ms. RC says: "Hi, I'm a 17-year-old girl who likes to read your blog and make rounds on the treadmill every morning. Can you, like, make a version of this that I can listen to on my iPod?" So you upload a file called "The_Teenagers_Guide_to_Random_Topic.mp3", and that's the end of the matter.
Regardless of whether you have commenters like this or not, it won't hurt to think, "Hey, maybe there's someone other than my target audience reading my blog," and put your blogger feelers out there. Chances are your instincts may be right.
How to Repurpose Your Blog's Content
By now, you might — and should! — be thinking: "Great! Now, how do I do this whole repurposing thing?" Again, repurposing has nothing to do with plagiarism, and everything to do with maximizing your limited business resources – while respecting your readers' sensibilities and intelligence.
Sounds like too much work? It can be unless you do the following:
1. Plan your repurposing.
Ask these questions before you repurpose an idea: Will your target audience be A-OK with your repurposing? What do you hope to achieve by repurposing? If you answer "Yes" to the first question and can give a S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Realistic, Timely) answer for the second question, you're good to go.
2. Find a topic to repurpose.
The easiest topics to repurpose are the evergreen and general ones since you can elaborate on/make a blog series out of them. You can also keep an eye out for your viral, old-as-Methuselah posts, or your competitor's new-as-freshly-delivered-pizza ones, and start from there.
3. Figure out what new angle you're going to take.
If you've already figured out your audience, this one should be easy. For example, that dry-as-autumn-leaves piece on "how to save money" can be written in a fun, lighthearted manner for Millennials. You can even update, add to, or revise your old posts, although that would be more "revamping" than "repurposing."
4. Pick another content type.
Sometimes, it's not so much the angle you want to change but the presentation. You can transform a blog post into a podcast, like the case of Ms. RC earlier. You can also create infographics, slideshows, Powerpoint presentations, and even e-books out of your old posts.
That said, don't go choosing a new content type just because. Figure out what kind of learners your readers are, and the "right" content type for them will come to you. For example, visual learners love visual content (obviously); auditory learners will appreciate podcasts and videos, and kinesthetic learners will have tons of fun with interactive websites. Take your pick.
- Find a place for your repurposed content. Can't decide where to post your repurposed content? Don't know how to create slideshows, Powerpoint presentations, and other things of the sort? No worries; Garrett Moon of CoSchedule.com has a great article on 50+ places to repurpose your content.
- Promote, promote, promote. Repurposing might take less effort than creating original content from scratch, but it takes effort nonetheless. Post it on your Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest or other social networks you might have, so your efforts won't go down the drain.
Yes, repurposing is, in a sense, lazy. You're just tearing down and rebuilding ideas again and again like Play-Doh. But between that and being in a perpetual state of distress due to a perpetually dried-up idea well, you'd be better off as a business person if you choose the former.

Women in Antiquity
Excerpts of Sappho's Dramatic Monologue, a first-person fictional narrative
by Marie Schutte
You see, I never had the erotic sexual relationships with other women
that many have written about in books about me. The reason behind my poetry
addressing women is fairly easy to explain. Because women were not able
to have friendships with men besides their husbands, we would spend most
our time when our husbands were gone with other women. In a time when
women had little freedom and were unable to even fall in love and marry
a man they desired on their own, we became a type of support system for
one another. Our friendships developed into a strong love for one another
and I used this love for my friends as inspiration for much of my poetry.
I also used my family, my appreciation of nature, my imagination, and
of courses my amazing natural talent to create beautiful lyrics.
Woman of the cute black and white capris
Her loony state when deprived of sleep
Young lady of high school no more . . .
Of the many hours we are together she
Hair like the golden sun
Our stomachs turning . . .
Always she bounces, she sings, she laughs . . .
She shared with us her knowledge of
She wears the dress of colorful frogs
My eyes wander to the familiar sight of the
I met a girl who could
She speaks an exotic language
Confusion set inside my mind . . .
Amazing as it was
In the early dawn of morning
Once leaving behind her book
Many a late night
Far away she is from us now . . .
O immortal Aphrodite of the many-colored throne,
But come hither, if ever at another time
Chariot: beautiful, swift sparrows
Suddenly they had arrived; but you, O Blessed Lady,
And what I was most wanting to happen for me
O mortal John of the many colored shirts
But come hither, if ever at another time
Mini-van: beautiful, swift automobile
Suddenly we had arrived; but you, O Blessed Professor
And for what we had done we felt so horrible
"For if indeed she is upset, soon she will be happy,
Come to us now, Marie, release us from

Leyton Orient to be cautious with current absentees and get them ready for pre-season
PUBLISHED: 16:00 04 April 2018
07958 573219 firstname.lastname@example.com
The likes of Matt Harrold, Charlie Lee and James Dayton are unlikely to play again for O's during this campaign even if they return to fitness
Ross Embleton has hinted Leyton Orient won't rush any of their current injured players back before the end of the season.
Matt Harrold was the latest member of the O's squad to suffer an injury with the big forward coming off during the 3-0 win over Woking on March 24 with a hamstring problem.
Orient sent the ex-Crawley Town striker for a scan and the initial prognosis doesn't look great and the 33-year-old is unlikely to feature again this season.
When discussing Harrold's injury, assistant Embleton appeared to suggest the other absentees, like first-team captain Charlie Lee (ACL) and James Dayton (hamstring), will also remain on the sidelines as they look ahead to the 2018/19 campaign.
"I know Matt had a scan recently and it was not as positive as we hoped. I don't know the real severity of it because we've been travelling here, there and everywhere over Easter, but it wasn't looking great for Matt," said Embleton.
"Obviously there is not too many games left, certainly not as many as Matt would hope, so it isn't looking great with regard to him getting back before April 28.
"I think, like with a number of our other injuries, it is a case of getting himself fully recovered and then prepared to hit the ground running when pre-season starts.
"Yes we would love to see him back soon, but I think at the moment the stance is we probably won't."
Given Orient are now virtually safe from the threat of relegation, Harrold is not really needed with Macauley Bonne, Dan Holman, David Mooney and Josh Koroma, if required, able to cover the forward positions.
The more interesting news is the fact it seems Lee won't play again between now and the end of the season.
After suffering anterior cruciate ligament damage towards the end of August, there did seem a chance the ex-Stevenage midfielder would return before the season drew to a close on April 28.
It is probably wise for Orient to get him to focus on the upcoming campaign though, so he can be 100 per cent fit and raring to go come July.
O's fans didn't get to see the best of Lee before his unfortunate injury, but he played an integral part in promotions at Peterborough United and Gillingham and will aim to do the same at Brisbane Road next season.

'In Uganda, more than 50,000 children are growing up in orphanages. Nearly all have a family. Orphanages make orphans out of children.
Every day, families in crisis or poverty are forced to give up their children in the hope of a better life. Decades of research prove what we know in our hearts: a family is the best place for a child to grow.
We are reimagining how we care, rebuilding families, and repurposing orphanages.' – Child's i Foundation.
On 16th August, a workshop was organized by the Child's i Foundation in partnership with 1MillionHome wherein discussion, were care reforms, existing gaps in care reforms, challenges, the achievements of the childcare reform initiatives, together with other organizations/ initiatives in attendance working towards the success and implementation of the reforms.
Child's i Foundation is a registered NGO in Uganda; and a registered charity in England and Wales. Their slogan is – 'Reimagine.Rebuild.Repurpose.' While the body's vision is 'one day, in a Uganda free of orphanages, all children will belong and grow up in safe and loving families.'
In discussion with several other social workers at the workshop, Michele Schneidler the president/coo of 1MILLIONHOME revealed that she was once a foster mom for over six years, and this among other factors influenced her interest in Child Care Facilities, and later motivated her involvement in the vision of 1 Million Children in Homes. She further reveals that when she'd first stepped into her role at 1MILLIONHOME, she'd realized that a lot of people were talking about care reforms but they did not know how to do it. A lot of people did not know how to transform the model of the care, or what to do with their employees once the care reform had been fully transformed. Not to mention, how they would talk to their donors who have been supportive all the way through.
[Note that: A lot of people still do not know how best to go about Care Reforms and several others are not willing to even partake in care reforms.]
Being a first-timer in attendance of this discussion, I learned of the various achievements and effort the bodies into care reforms are putting out however, it is still very low almost as if nothing has been done yet and; how much work there is to do especially in our given local communities, as much as the social workers, may be aware of how damaging it is for children to grow up in orphanages, the parents do not know. The communities do not know. It is instead the other way round, where growing up away from how is looked at as the ultimate dream – something to be proud of, or revered in such a way that whoever grew up no matter their absurdities, they had a fancy life elsewhere (in the orphanages or childcare facilities) and thus did not have to endure the struggles of growing up in a broke neighborhood, a financially unstable home, or in a community less of' what the parent would otherwise have loved the child to grow up in.
This is the mindset that a lot of people in local communities carry, (PS, I personally know this ha-ha) and in case of doubt, try interacting with people in your communities, see what they think about a child growing up in a childcare facility, you'll be shocked. This mindset is not harbored by only adults but also the children. Remember, this is a Uganda/Africa where only a few of the population are informed about emotional development. We'll pay attention to everything else but ignore the emotional aspect. This is exactly why you/we need to pay attention to/ explore the emotional and psychological well-being of children in Child Care Facilities and also care leavers. Read the previous blog on this topic HERE.
It is true that there are a lot of good-hearted, good-intentioned people setting out to make orphanages, yet are truly unaware of how much damage orphanages breed. In my work with a certain NGO and the youths (its beneficiaries), I have come to realize that most youths who grew up in struggling homes but never orphanages, dream of starting orphanages at one point in time. This they want to do because they realize they grew up in struggling homes but each time they meet someone in a worse state say a street child, they feel the need to go out of their way and create institutions where these children would be as in their minds, they've been redeemed and thus feel the responsibility to redeem others.
What does it mean? You're now aware of this if you're reading this blog; which means it's part of your duty to correct what has gone wrong.
HERE'S SOME IMPACT OF CHILD'S i FOUNDATION – 2018
- 133 children were placed in families from orphanages.
- 9,739 children were supported to stay with their families
- 1,118 families received direct support from social workers
- 27 foster carers were trained to provide loving homes for children in need
- 0 children were placed in an orphanage in Tororo in 2018

Using the
Budwig treatment Flax oil diet, people all over the world have actually been
cured and now lead normal healthy lives, who previously had been diagnosed with
incurable cancer and sent home to die.
A top European cancer research
scientist, Dr Johanna Budwig, has discovered a totally natural formula that not
only protects against the development of cancer but cures the cancer.
One of the most important and far
reaching health discoveries of the Twentieth Century is that made by Dr. Johanna
Budwig, a German biochemist who was a leading European authority on fats and
She had been nominated for the
Nobel Prize seven times.
She used her methods to
successfully heal
terminal cancer patients,
people with heart diseases,
arthritis and
other ailments
These individuals had been given up as hopeless by the conventional
medical practitioners.
Her methods were so simple that
any housewife could use her techniques with no special training and with good
results. In fact, this is exactly what happened in many cases.
People with serious diseases were
curing themselves to the astonishment of the conventional medical practitioners.
In the course of her treatment of
ill people, she studied blood samples to see if there is any correlation between
the blood quality of ill people and healthy people.
After studying thousands of blood
samples, she discovered that the difference was that healthy people had a higher
content of Omega3 oils in their blood than those who are ill.
Omega3 is one of the essential
fatty acids, or EFAs, which is necessary for the proper functioning of the body.
She experimented on finding the
best ways to get the Omega3 oils properly absorbed into a person's system and
ultimately found that the richest source of Omega3 oil is flax seeds.
However, only oil that has been protected from heat and oxidation,
caused by oxygen and light, is sufficiently pure enough to be of benefit to
human health.
Oils not prepared this way quickly
become rancid and are detrimental to human health.
In fact, Dr. Budwig, with further
research, came to the conclusion that the vast majority of cancer and other
chronic illnesses today are caused by the;
improper mass
processing of foods and oils,
plus poor nutrition
as well as the
world-wide use of
dangerous pesticides which contaminate the food and destroy the electrons.
Based on these observations, Dr.
Budwig began treating her patients by giving them a combination of high quality
flax seed oil, which is rich in Omega3 oil, and quark, which is something
similar to cottage cheese or yogurt in that it is rich in high quality protein.
Quark is difficult to obtain in
the U.S, but either yogurt, cottage cheese, skim milk, soy milk or rice milk is
a good substitute.
For the proper ratio of oil to
protein, please see
The reason for the mixture of the
oil with a high quality protein is that by combining the protein with the oil,
the oil becomes water soluble in the body and can be absorbed more readily.
It can enter the smallest
capillaries, dissolving any of the undesirable fats and cleaning out the veins
and arteries.
It also strengthens the heart, dissolves tumors and cures
arthritis. It sounds like a lot, but it really works.
Dr. Budwig worked with many
patients who were terminally ill and some who had only hours to live.
This is powerful. Yes and hard to believe but true.
I worked with an individual that had cancer throughout his body,
including his brain. The medical field had done all they could through surgery,
chemo, radiation, and other treatments. They sent him home with 3 weeks or less
to live.
One week had passed. It was at that time that his wife called
asking if anything could be done. He struggled with any type of communication.
After one week on flax oil, cottage cheese, juicing and detoxing,
he was speaking in complete sentences. In a few more weeks he went to communion
and spent time blessing his family.
His prognosis of death by the medical field was to be painful,
suffocating and bleeding extensively from his lungs.
He passed quietly at home with minimal pain and anxiety speaking
love to his wife.
Dr. Budwig gave them the
combination of flax oil-protein diet plus organic foods, plus exercise, fresh
air and used the healing powers of the sun to cure these "hopeless" cases who
sometimes started to show improvement within days.
One of the significant aspects of
Dr. Budwig's work is that she has discovered, (or rather rediscovered) the
affinity of the human body with the sun.
If the body has the right balance
of oils and proteins, it has a magnetic field which attracts the photons in
sunlight and thus is open to the healing powers of the sun.
If like me you live in an area of the world that is not as prone
to the sunlight, you may seriously want to consider the infra-red sauna with the
full spectrum lighting to give you the necessary sunlight you need.
I noticed a difference within days of using the flaxseed/cottage
cheese mixture and sitting in the sauna. I had more energy and vitality. I had
an overall sense of well being and I noticed that my skin tone seemed more
radiant and healthy.
Following is a quote from one of
her books:
"I often take very sick cancer patients away from hospital where
they are said to have only a few days left to live, or perhaps only a few hours.
This is mostly accompanied by very good results. The very first
thing which these patients and their families tell me is that, in the hospital,
it was said that they could no longer urinate or produce bowel movements.
They suffered from dry coughing without being able to bring up any
Everything was blocked. It greatly encourages them when suddenly,
in all these symptoms, the surface-active fats, with their wealth of electrons,
start reactivating the vital functions and the patient immediately begins to
feel better.
It is very interesting to ask how this sudden change is possible.
It has to do with the reaction patterns, with the character of electrons. I will
return to these electrons later.
In the last two years, I have come to be very fond of them. A
friend of my work in Paris wrote to me how wonderful it is that you have
discovered the original birthplace of the electrons in seed oils to be the sun.
That's how these connections are made!"
Dr. Budwig's cancer cures are well
documented and have stood the tests of opposition from the conventional medical
Although there are many excellent
doctors and nutritionists who are following in her footsteps, I am especially
fond of Dr. Budwig's approach to things because she is not only a brilliant
scientist and researcher, but also a high minded idealist who approaches the
subject also from a philosophical and spiritual point of view.
Unfortunately, only two of her
books that I know of have been published in English. Please see the
For more information check out Dr. Johanna
Budwig's book, "Flaxseed as a True Aid against Arthritis, Heart Infarction,
Cancer and Other Diseases."

Eurosceptics across Europe watch Brexit own goal
What makes Brexit interesting to Italians and other Europeans is that the UK team seemed to be without a captain and determinedly kicking towards its own end. Meanwhile, unbeknown to the Brits, the other side is terrified of them; terrified of the domino effect from fans in Europe who might emulate their style, and terrified of losing the 40 billion in ticketing revenue. Come on, let's change tactics, get to the final, and bring it all home
One of the main differences between the protestant north and the catholic south is that down here things slow down when the weather gets warmer, whereas in London ministers are resigning in 30 degree heat (86 if you're old school).
The big news here is that an Irish naval vessel turned up in Italy with some migrants (why does the BBC call them refugees?).
Naval vessels land at ports under different arrangements to civilian ones, and Interior Minister Matteo Salvini was unable to ban a piece of blatant mischief making and virtue signalling from Ireland. Like Greece (maintaining a huge military on other people's money, interfering in Cyprus and Macedonia), the Republic has been allowed to get above itself, as we shall see.
With the Italians too sensible to indulge in political games when they and their constituents could be at the beach, perhaps I may be permitted a few Mediterranean observations on Brexit.
The reaction here was a grudging admiration for the Brits, while saying this would not, of course, suit Italy. A bit like supporting another team after you have not qualified for the World Cup. Now, or until the latest Chequers own goal, the UK seemed to be heading for the final and everyone was agog to see how it turned out.
What makes it more interesting is that the UK team seemed to be without a captain or manager and often determinedly kicking towards its own end.
The first thing to observe is that Europe is terrified of a 'no deal', not because of anything concerning Airbus or BMW, but because the British would not pay their €40 billion or so. The British 'transition period' was carefully calculated, a year and nine months to December 2020, to coincide with the EU budget.
It takes these people ages to agree on anything, and the budget - whether Cyprus gets its farm subsidies or Romania its new trains or airports - is particularly sensitive. Political careers hang on someone having wheedled a grant here or a co-payment there; that's how subsidy junkies operate.
So the biggest threat we had in the negotiations was to offer no deal; studiously, the UK Government went out of its way not to plan for such an outcome. See what I mean about running the ball towards your own goal?
As for tales of the likes of Airbus moving out because their supply chain crosses potential tariff barriers: the Brits have been fairly careful not to allow discussion of the opposite. Germany sells more cars to Britain than it does to America and China combined. They don't want Britain imposing a tariff. Fancy a shiny new BMW plant as a high wage employer in your town?
In the short term, Britain could benefit from no deal. In the long term everyone suffers from inhibitions to trade. But in the long term we can agree trade deals, no?
And Ireland. Surely this was the worst piece of international negotiating ever, to be made a complete patsy by Europe. Years ago, without any help from Europe, we and the Republic of Ireland had a frictionless border. And no, there is nothing about it in the Good Friday Agreement because there was no need for anything.
The group which needs a hard border is the EU, to mark where their subsidy and tariff empire begins and ends. They like borders. All Britain had to do was say it was against any kind of hard border and that if the EU wanted one it would keep it well within Irish territory, and explain to the people of North and South why it was being imposed on them.
But no, we allowed the massively self-important Leo Varadkar to impose the rules from a position of utter weakness. Has he paid our €5 billion back by the way? Britain meanwhile was stringing together a passing manoeuvre in the direction of our own goalkeeper.
Theresa May has even appointed a civil servant behind the back of her own Brexit minister to make sure he had no success. This, by the way, is the kind of sneaky behaviour misogynist directors suspect women get up to (although in my experience they never do). Mrs May hasn't done the sisterhood any good at all.
And now this rollover in front of the European forwards. Come on UK! Play to win!

Moscow may conclude agreements on the delivery of engineering goods to and import of food products from Iran during Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's visit to Russia later this month, Russian trade representative in Iran Andrei Lugansky told Sputnik.
Iran's Minister of Communications and Information Technology Mahmoud Vaezi, who is now in Moscow to pave the way for President Rouhani's upcoming visit, said in February after a meeting with Russian first deputy prime minister, Igor Shuvalov, that Tehran hoped to sign a number of agreements with Moscow during Rouhani's visit to Russia.
"This concerns the foreign trade activities–machine building products' supplies to Iran and the increase of supplies of food products to Russia," Lugansky said in an interview.
Lugansky added that the establishment of the free trade zone between the Eurasian Economic Union and Iran would also be discussed during the president's visit.
"A free trade agreement between EEU and Iran is expected to be signed by the end of this month," Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said on Monday before his meeting with Vaezi in Moscow.
Novak said a Russian envoy visited the Iranian capital Tehran on Monday to discuss details of the expected free-trade deal.
"We wish for the agreement to be ready when Iranian President Hassan Rouhani makes his planned visit to Russia this March," he was quoted as saying by Anadolu Agency.
A memorandum of understanding to set up a free-trade zone between member countries and Iran was signed during the EEU summit in Bishkek in Kyrgyzstan on March 7.
Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Russia are members of the EEU that aims to pursue common policies in economy and energy markets, and partnership in key infrastructure projects.
"The matter is currently complicated by the Iranian side that does not want to agree on the list [of goods], as our product range is wider, while theirs is narrower," Lugansky said.
According to Lugansky, Iran should recognize the mutual interest of both countries within the framework of the free trade agreement. He referred to Iran's intention to start the export of fruit and vegetables to Russia, which is a point of concern for Russia, as the duty-free importation of such products could create competition with local products.
Similarly, Iran fears that the import of machine building products could provoke competition with more expensive local products.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in October 2016 that over the last two and a half years, trade turnover between Russia and Iran has doubled.

Valuation – Public companies versus privately held businesses – a few issues
There are a number of factors that are considered differently in the valuation of privately held vs. public ( ASX listed ) companies—even those that are in the same industry—making a direct comparison for valuation purposes difficult. In some cases, it's like comparing apples to oranges. Following is a list of some of the issues that may result in differences between the valuations of public and private businesses:
1. Market liquidity
A lack of market liquidity is usually the biggest factor contributing to a discount in the value of companies. With public companies, you can, if you choose, switch your investment to the stock of a different public company on a daily (if not more frequent) basis. The stock of privately held businesses, however, is more difficult to sell quickly, making the value drop accordingly.
2. Profit measurement
While private companies seek mostly to minimise taxes and provide an effective ( though not always easy to follow ) income stream to the owners, public companies seek to maximize earnings for shareholder reporting purposes. Therefore, the profitability of a private business may require restatement in order for it to be directly comparable to that of a public business. In addition, public-company multiples are generally calculated from net income (after taxes), while private-company multiples are often based on pre-tax (and many times, pre-debt) income. This discrepancy can result in an inaccurate formula for the valuation of a private company.
3. Capitalisation/capital structure
Public companies within a specific industry generally maintain capital structures (debt/equity mixes) that are fairly similar. That means the relative price/earnings ratios (where earnings include the servicing of debt) are usually comparable. Private companies within the same industry, however, can vary widely in capital structure. The valuation of a privately held business is therefore frequently based on "enterprise value," or the pre-debt value of a business rather than the value of the stock of the business, like public companies. This is another reason why private-company multiples are generally based on pre-tax profits and may not be directly comparable to the price/earnings ratio of public companies.
4. Risk profile
Public companies usually provide an assurance of continuing operations above that of smaller, privately held businesses. Downturns in the economy or a change in the environment (such as an increase in competition or regulatory changes) often have a greater impact on private business than public businesses in terms of performance and market positioning. That higher risk may result in a discount in value for private businesses.
5. Differences in operations
It is often difficult to find a public company operating in the same niches as private businesses. Public companies typically have operations spanning a broader range of products and services than do private companies. In addition, even if the products and services are the same, the revenue mix is often different.
6. Operational control
Although private companies are more likely to receive valuation discounts than public companies, there is at least one area where they may receive a value premium. While the sale of a private company usually results in the purchase of the controlling interest in the business, ownership of public-company shares generally consists of a minority-share ownership—which may be construed to be less valuable than a controlling-interest position.
Given all these examples, you can see how the valuation of private companies is complex and often cannot be determined through the direct application of public company price/earnings ratios.

Keep Ohio Beautiful hosted its annual Great Ohio Planting Day on Saturday, April 29, at the Class A campground of Mohican State Park in Loudonville.
Keep Ohio Beautiful, Columbia Gas of Ohio, The Davey Tree Expert Company, Mohican Lodge and Conference Center, Mohican Trails Club and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) worked together along with 46 volunteers to beautify and enhance the Class A campground at Mohican State Park, which was recently ravaged by the emerald ash borer by planting 110 new trees in honor of Arbor Day.
Funding and in-kind support for the project was awarded to Keep Ohio Beautiful through Columbia Gas of Ohio's Columbia Cares Community Engagement Program, The Davey Tree Expert Co., Mohican Trails Club and ODNR. Each year, Keep Ohio Beautiful celebrates Great Ohio Planting Day, a hands-on educational program, which demonstrates how to properly prepare a planting site, plant and care for a tree.
"ODNR is grateful to Keep Ohio Beautiful, Columbia Gas of Ohio and The Davey Tree Expert Company for the generous donation of 110 trees and the time they invested in planting them as we commemorate Arbor Day in Ohio at a park which greatly benefits from these resources," said Mike Bailey, chief of the ODNR Division of Parks and Watercraft.
"At Columbia Gas, we are proud to work with the communities we serve to improve the local quality of life," said Bill Loomer, communications/community relations manager for Columbia Gas. "Buying and planting trees for Mohican State Park will improve the experience for park visitors as well as provide shade for many years to come."
Keep Ohio Beautiful, along with partners listed above, collaborated with The Davey Tree Expert Co. to host the event.
"Davey is pleased to be involved in such a worthwhile event. This partnership results in trees being planted at the Class A campground of the Mohican State Park," said Karen Wise, Keep Ohio Beautiful board president and Davey division manager. "A planting of this size will make a tangible difference to the park campground to replace ash trees that were damaged by the emerald ash borer and had to be removed."
