As you all probably know by now… I am spending Easter in Mexico poolside oh AND am also not the best baker!!! SO instead.. Libbie Summers has brewed up the prettiest looking pie that I've ever dreamt of making!! And I just HAD to share it with you. This makes the perfect Easter dessert for this lovely long weekend!!! Make it ahead of time to save those extra minutes on an Easter egg hunt with your loved ones.
Ginger Rhubarb Pie
serves 8
1 prepared pie dough for a double crust pie (get our recipe HERE)
1⁄2 cup candied ginger
6 cups fresh rhubarb, sliced 1⁄4-inch thick on the diagonal (about 6 stalks)
2/3 cup light brown sugar
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
pinch of salt
pinch of ground cinnamon
1 egg mixed with 1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon turbinado sugar (optional)
On a lightly floured surface, roll out one half of the dough and drape over a 9-inch pie plate being careful not to stretch the dough. Allow the dough to loosely drape over the sides. Refrigerate while making filling.
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, add the candied ginger and pulse until nearly pulverized (you can also chop finely with a knife). Add the pulverized ginger, rhubarb, sugar, flour, salt and cinnamon to a large mixing bowl and toss to coat.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Place rhubarb filling in chilled pie shell and top with a lattice top pie crust (Learn how to do a lattice top pie crust HERE). Brush the top of the pie with the egg wash and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar if desired. Bake until the filling is bubbling and the crust is a rich golden brown (about 1 hour and 15 minutes). Let pie cool completely before slicing and serving.

"Pronam kore aai, Baba ke (go and touch your father's feet)" mother said in Bengali, just as I was about to leave home, and was climbing down the stairs, to head to Howrah station to board the Coramandel Express back to Chennai from Calcutta.
"Why do you always do this?" I snapped, as it's one of those things that irritate me – as she's reminded me for the last ten years since Baba passed and I left home. Ma has instructed us sisters to do 'pronam' to Baba when alive, at every opportunity. "Why do you have to say this…Baba lives with me as well, and I have the very same picture as you do – in Chennai, so why do I touch his feet here?"
Yet, as I tend to humour her in spite of cribbing, also as I was leaving, I climbed back up the stairs and touched Baba's feet on his large picture, Ma has mounted at all times on her bedside table. I've always done this to please her, but for the first time, I sincerely asked Baba to keep me safe and well in life, especially on the journey, and then rushed down, got into the car. After driving ten minutes or so, I recalled leaving my keys hanging right off my cupboard. So I instructed the driver to turn back, then vividly recalled my stress as always during departures from home, due to Ma's getting worked up and the resultant nagging over little things such as the 'pronam' to Baba.
After placing the cupboard keys safely in my hand bag, I strode down without answering Ma's question – "what happened, which key?" Listening to the last round of Calcutta FM on the ride, I was looking forward to another soulful, eventful experience, as on the journey to Calcutta – what with the book thief. I was also tensed about getting to the Station on time, dressed in my special train wear – a lose kurta with a pair of stretch jogging tights – to clamber up and down the two-tier bunk, my feet in slip-ons, but the most essential part – a pair of glasses that give me an intellectual, unattractive look, so I can safely peer at those around me with a sense of personal safety; my hair tied off my face to add to the sternness of look, no trace of make-up obviously.
In spite of leaving well over an hour early, due to heavy traffic congestion from election rallies on every other stretch of road, I could not board the train. It had departed half an hour prior to my dogged determination to get on to it – would have me look down the empty platform dejectedly, even rush to the enquiry counter to ascertain what time it had actually rolled out. This was the first time in life I had missed a train or flight due to delay in my reaching, though I did miss a flight once very strangely from right inside the Calcutta departure hall, as I had missed hearing the announcement, then paid a fortune to get on the next one.
Even as I returned home, reserved a seat online on a flight to Chennai, I vividly sensed Baba smiling at me, with a smugness I recognised from his once charming smile, that I was not on that train. It's true, if he were alive he would have desisted my travelling alone on this twenty-seven hours train journey, in spite of the romanticism around it I might have tried to convince him of. More so, in Ma's room, where she's kept his spirit alive all these years – in her heart and mind, I had asked Baba to guard me on the journey. Now I suddenly realised the uncanny difference between his powers in Ma's room (the bedroom they shared) from anywhere else in the world.
Ma relieved at seeing me back, as she had called a few times on my ride, to find out at which point I was, knew I had missed boarding the train. Even as I blamed her for this mishap, for missing the train due to her nagging me, she defended herself calmly, then quickly brought the money for my flight tomorrow, on learning how much I had spent online, placed it earnestly in my hand. The look she gave me read – I may be old, but I'm still your mother.
Now with this couple – my parents, still much alive emotionally to each other let me tell you, how was I ever going to get on that train alone, if they could help it? One has supernatural powers now and the other a boldness of spirit that she will take along to meet him again someday.

People trimming their debt during the recession by cutting back on their credit cards — perhaps with an eye toward saving for the purchase of a home — could actually be doing themselves more harm than good, credit experts said.
For example, if you have a credit score of 650, few credit cards, a short credit history and close down an account after paying off your plastic, you can see your credit score drop by 30 points to 40 points, these experts said.
Add to that an overlooked bill that has gone to a collection agency — something as seemingly innocent as a $20 co-pay you forget to send in — that could result in a 100-point drop in your FICO score and you are talking some serious damage.
And such a steep drop in your credit score would likely result in a higher interest rate on your mortgage, car loan — or credit card. These are just two of the missteps people are making as they attempt to smartly manage their credit during a recession.
"If you close a card, you don't have the credit limit in your calculation, so use the card a little bit and pay it off," said Evan Hendricks, author of Credit Scores & Credit Reports, a how-to book on better navigating the world of FICO scores.
Paying off a card and keeping it idle will not hurt your credit score — but it won't help it, either.
FICO scores, which range from 300 to 850, grade a person's credit-worthiness and are based on a witch's brew of stats that include how long you have had credit, whether bills are paid on time and how much of their available credit a consumer is using.
The higher your FICO score the better risk you are — which means you can command a lower interest rate on loans.
A 700 used to be enough to nab the best rates, but now a consumer needs a FICO score of 750, according to John Ulzheimer, president of consumer education at Credit.com.
The first step is reviewing your credit report.
"First, search for actual errors and absolutely dispute those errors if they legitimately are not right," said Kevin Mallon, with Fishman & Mallon, which represents clients litigating over errors on their credit reports.
Next, be sure you are paying your bills on time, since payment history accounts for 35 percent of your FICO score, the most heavily-weighted category.
Paying down debt — a major challenge for the average American household with credit cards, which last year carried $10,679 in credit card debt outstanding, according to stats cited on creditcards.com — is another key to lifting your score, making up 30 percent of the score.
Most experts advise credit cardholders not to go over 30 percent of their card's credit limit. For $19,000 in available credit — the amount a typical consumer has access to from credit cards, according to Myfico.com — that works out to just $5,700.

I would like to change the layout of a input CSV file and change the layout of values.
So the initial Format has headings like: - Customer Zone Type 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Under the number headings are the budget figures for a specific period, there are quite a few entries like this.
Now in order to use this data in a more meaningful way within SSRS I need it in the format of
- Customer Zone Type Period Budget
Where the number is now underneath period and the figures are underneath budget.
Does anyone have any recommendations of software that will allow me to do this?
I was thinking that Excel VBA would let me do this, but I was unsure if it would or if there was a better alternative.

I've been asked time and time again: Does the CEO's vision have the power to change a pharmaceutical company so that it can solve global health problems?
My answer is "yes". The power of a top executive in the pharmaceutical industry to change the global healthcare landscape is real. On the other hand, he or she (and, let's face it, they arestill almost all men) can cause a lot of damage by adopting bad policies. But if they are truly prepared to make the drastic changes this industry so desperately needs, they can also make a big difference for good.
The question matters more than ever. As the world grapples with the biggest health crisis in more than a century, the pharmaceutical industry has a crucial role to play in ensuring that medicines and COVID-19 vaccines reach those who need it most, be they rich or poor. We are counting on the industry's infrastructure, production capacity and scientific know-how to throw the world a lifeline during this pandemic.
However, the question is also very relevant as a new generation of CEOs have recently taken the helm of some of the world's largest pharmaceutical companies. Gilead, Sanofi, and Pfizer are among the drug manufacturers whose CEOs have been in office for two years or less. And all of us – from government ministers and stock investors to the children of rural Africa – need them to steer their businesses in the right direction.
I run the Access to the Foundation in medicine, where, for more than fifteen years, we have evaluated the contribution of the pharmaceutical industry to global health. During this period, we have seen progress, especially in R&D and in the way companies approach access to medicines. Our foundation also publishes the Drug access index, where we rank companies based on their ability to meet the health needs of the world's population.
Historically, there have been important interventions, such as the decision in the 1980s of Roy Vagelos, then leader Merck, to distribute free ivermectin, a river blindness drug, setting the standard for industry engagement in the elimination of several neglected tropical diseases through donations.
But the activity of pharmaceutical companies is still focused on too few countries and too few diseases, and a handful of companies bear the brunt of the burden when it comes to expanding access. medicines in underserved areas of the world.
We have seen the likes of GlaxoSmithKline, under the leadership of former CEO Sir Andrew Witty, shifting from a volume-based approach to a margin-based approach to strengthen access to low-income markets, for example for vaccines. It led GSK to reduce drug prices in 50 of the poorest countries, freed up intellectual property rights in a patent pool to encourage the development of new drugs, and invested 20% of the profits of the least developed countries in the medical infrastructure of these countries. While some say it cost GSK money and maybe even contributed to Witty's loss of her job, the company's actions have saved the lives of many, which should matter.
It's concrete steps like these – rather than warm words or corporate statements – that we evaluate. For example, how responsibly are operations governed? Where do companies deploy their R&D efforts? How do they deal with intellectual property issues? And, most importantly, how do they approach prices and improve the ability to make sure people around the world get the drugs they make? These are the factors that determine whether a business moves up or down in the Access to Medicine Foundation rankings.
In January 2021, we'll be releasing the next Index, and I expect it to be reviewed more carefully than ever. This year has been a unique testing period for the industry, but the message to the pharmaceutical industry has been clear: ensuring equitable access to medicines is not only the right thing to do, but it is also the right thing to do. strategically and economically smart thing to do. COVID-19 has underscored the critical importance of access for the long-term sustainability of the pharmaceutical sector, and it has pushed the issue onto the agenda of investors who provide businesses with financial vitality.
A new guard of industry CEOs, different in their points of view and more public in their voice and vision, now has the opportunity to move the dial. We have already seen them speak out on several other important ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) issues, including gender and race equity, work-life balance and the environment. . Unfortunately, they have also been far too reluctant about the need for better access to medicines.
This young generation of CEOs of the pharmaceutical industry is active on social media, which tells us that they are not afraid to make their opinion public. Yet they still face an industry that is greatly distrusted and better known for the high prices of its drugs than for the lives it can save. Now is the time to change that. To do this, we need CEOs who put people before profits and are ready to solve the industry's chronic challenges. The price is that by taking a step forward, they will be able to rally like-minded investors and unleash the potential of like-minded employees, who will be incentivized into jobs with social and health impact. most important.
Making binding commitments to expand access to specific medicines is a great starting point for these new CEOs to show leadership and encourage others to follow. In areas such as maternal and child health, antimicrobial resistance, noncommunicable diseases and now COVID-19, we have seen that commitments made by a few actors can have a snowball effect, leading to promises and corresponding actions on the part of others.
But commitments in specific areas are just the start. More fundamentally, the industry must tackle the high cost of drugs by challenging the entrenched expectations of extremely high profit margins that underpin them. CEOs must convince shareholders that their companies should benefit citizens around the world, not just for altruistic reasons, but because expanding access to emerging markets and low-income countries can unlock untapped revenue streams. , although at lower margins. Until that happens, the simple fact is that many life-saving drugs invented by the pharmaceutical industry will remain out of reach for hundreds of millions of people.
We need a CEO to tackle these deeply rooted inequalities in the current business model of the pharmaceutical industry.
Who will take a step forward?
Jayasree K. Iyer is the Executive Director of the Foundation for Access to Medicine.

Love Languages: A Force Field of Love
I haven't taken that love language test in forever and I don't remember what I got the first time, but I do think about it often. I try to think about what makes me feel loved and which category it goes under. I've tried to figure it out myself just by observing myself and I concluded that I give and receive love equally in all the 5 different ways! Or are there 6? Maybe I should look into it again... But even if there are actually a million love languages, I think it's important to figure out how we, and those we are close with, each give and receive love. It's different for everybody, and it really helps to know how to show your love to a person. I try to show my love as often as I can in as many ways as I can. It's important to me for the people I love to KNOW that I love them. Not sure why, I don't ever really feel the need to know that they love me (which is also how I've gotten hurt by people I loved lolol). I just think that as long as they know I love them, that is enough for me - even tho that is SO not true, my heart is IN THE FEELS every time a friend just says, "oh I was thinking about you the other day -".
My friendships are very very important to me. They were there for me when I wouldn't allow my parents in. In most every single friendship I have there is an equal give and take and mutual support and love. There have been fall outs, set backs, stabbed backs, forgiveness, regrowth, and many bonds tightened between my friends and I. I have lost friends to death, people moving, and puberty. I have gained friends due to stepping up and introducing myself, mutual friends, people moving, and puberty. I truly feel a kinship with Leslie Knope and how much we both love and support our friends. She was even part of my inspiration for my A Galentine's Salon to celebrate Galentine's day, the importance of female friendship and my friends!
And in the true style of Leslie Knope, here am I writing about how much I love my friends.
Towards the end of college, I was very depressed and anxious. I was reeling from an sexual assault and some of my friends leaving me because of it. I had grown aware of the politics of the performing industry and was so scared I couldn't "hack it." So scared I was going to fail, or crash and burn in whatever I attempted. Pressure to get a normal job and feeling like if my life didn't start right away after I walked across that stage that it never would. My way of coping? To be alone as little as possible. I was with people from 12 to 12 almost every day for two years to keep my mind occupied. "To soak up the good times before it all just, disappeared." I told myself. In reality, I wanted to forget about the pressure from the outside world. I wanted to forget that my best friend took the side of my assaulter. I didn't want to think about the future, it was too scary and it felt like there was nothing there for me. It was a very low point for me - but at the same time, a small happiness appeared. I strengthened my bond with friends I had truly kind of neglected for a year, and discovered a love language that came from them still, without wavering, continuously having my back. A good friend was talking about her wedding at the time and said that she wanted her bridesmaids to help represent who she was as a person. And I realized that not only were these were the people I wanted to help represent me, I wanted to help represent them - To help show them how much I love them. I love my friends and I love making new ones. I would do anything for them. I want to do everything for them.
Now to show them I love them, I'm stepping away.
Oh Leslie Knope, what would you do?
Besides putting everyone she loves in individual plastic bubbles, I think she'd already be doing what I've seen people do. A friend starting hosting a weekly instagram live open mic night, another has made face masks for health care workers in Arkansas, my mother walks around in a blow up T-rex costume and line dances for retirement communities (while the folks sit out on the porch). Leslie Knope would be involved in all of that and more. Her and my mom would probably have to take turns as the dinosaur, though. But, I do really wonder - how would she handle this? I connect with her so much, I want to be strong like her and do what she would do. With how much she loves her friends, if she was told they had to stay at least six feet apart, it would break her heart but goddamn she would make sure they did it.
So I'm making sure i'm doing it. It fucking sucks, but I'm making SURE i'm doing it. I love you so much so please get the fuck away from me!!!!!!!!
What a strange new love language we all just learned.
Also my worst nightmare I've come to realize!
So when you add that, on TOP of how much I love my friends, on TOP of how much I love people in GENERAL, I'm not exactly doing well. I mean I am lucky, I can stay home, stay safe, and mostly afford to be able to to so (yikes tho.), so I'm actually doing as good as can be right now, but there comes a guilt with that. I'm also scared because being alone for so long is not good for humans - extrovert or introvert, humans need other humans. Isolation is not good for the mind. Going without physical touch isn't good either, adults can kind of handle it I guess, but I know babies can't - so give your "bebes" all the love and cuddles you can!
As for you single adults, stay strong. You can get through this.
Figure out what you love language is, beside the one were all speaking right now: Social Distancing.
Remember: Social Distancing doesn't mean you can't be SOCIAL, it just means you have to be DISTANT.
My best friend currently? My phone. I am glued to it. To check the news, but also to check on my friends. I'm so worried about them. (AND MY FAMILY OBVIOUSLY. I'm not a monster, thats just not what this personal essay is ABOUT. Love you fam.). Since I can't hang out with them in person, lets get those facetime calls going. Lets post, comment, like, share, online. Lets call, send letters, wash our hands. Lets Text. Lets connect. Lets stay connected. We'll get through this. It's scary, but hold those you love close (figuratively) to your heart and check up on them. Keep checking up on them. I herd somewhere recently that we don't have to fix each others problems, we just need to listen and be there for each other. No matter how you show love, we are all showing our love by stepping away from each other.
Pretend my love is repelling you. We cannot physically be close because my love is so strong. Like a FORCE FIELD OF LOVE. That's what it is. I like that. A Force field of love.

Sucralose is a zero-calorie sugar substitute artificial sweetener. In the European Union, it is also known under the E number (additive code) E955. Sucralose is approximately 600 times as sweet as sucrose (table sugar), twice as sweet as saccharin, and 3.3 times as sweet as aspartame. Unlike aspartame, it is stable under heat and over a broad range of pH conditions and can be used in baking or in products that require a longer shelf life. The commercial success of sucralose-based products stems from its favorable comparison to other low calorie sweeteners in terms of taste, stability, and safety.

text: Image: picture-alliance/dpa/F. IsmailPolitics'Malaysian politics is a circus full of clowns'Brenda Haas Interview02/28/2018February 28, 2018A clown face caricature of Malaysian PM Najib has landed its creator, Fahmi Reza, in hot water. The artist tells DW why protest art has been steadily gaining traction among Malaysians weary of an unchecked executive.https://p.dw.com/p/2tTipAdvertisementAccompanied by the hashtag #KitaSemuaPenghasut (Malay for "#We Are All Agitators"), Fahmi Reza's artwork was meant as a dig at a repressive colonial-era sedition law routinely used to stifle dissent. In January 2016, Malaysian graphic artist and activist, Fahmi Reza, posted a sketch of Prime Minister Najib Razak as a clown on his Twitter account with the caption: "In 2015, the Sedition Act was used 91 times. Tapi dalam negara yang penuh dengan korupsi, kita semua penghasut (But in a country full of corruption, we are all agitators)." The police notified him that his Twitter account was under surveillance. Fahmi had created the image in protest against Najib, who was alleged to have funneled millions of dollars into his personal bank accounts in 2013 from the indebted state-owned investment fund, 1MDB, which he founded in 2009. The fund is currently being investigated in several countries. Activists, artists or lawmakers who have criticized or exposed matters related to the scandal have since found themselves slapped with various charges from "breaching the peace" to "sedition." Fahmi was eventually arrested for selling t-shirts bearing the clown image at a shopping complex. He was charged in June 2016 under Section 233(1) of the Communications and Multimedia Act 1998, which prohibits online content deemed to "annoy, abuse, threaten, or harass" others. He pleaded not guilty. Last week, Fahmi was found guilty and sentenced to a month's jail and fined 30,000 ringgits ($7,650, €6,270). The jail sentence has been stayed, pending his appeal. Meanwhile, his hashtag has steadily gained a following, and the clown image now graces merchandise from t-shirts to lapel pins to mock exercise books commonly used in Malaysian public schools. Following his sentence, Fahmi set up a crowdfunding page selling the merchandise to raise money to pay his fine. Malaysians raised more than he required in less than 24 hours. As of February 25, the amount stands at 54,209 ringgits. Fahmi is one of several Malaysian artists who have been prosecuted for acts or art critical of the government. In an interview with DW, 41-year-old Fahmi shares his views about the prosecution and impact of protest art in Malaysia. DW: First of all, was the clown face inspired by the character Pennywise, from Stephen King's novel "It"? Fahmi Reza: (Laughs) Not really. But I did also design a parody image of Najib looking like Pennywise from the new movie remake of "It." Malaysian politics is a circus full of clowns, with Najib being the biggest clown of all, feeding us with lies to distract us from knowing the truth about his corruption and wrongdoing. What signal do you think Malaysians have given the authorities through their speedy and successful response to your crowdfunding effort? It is a signal that the culture of solidarity and resistance is growing stronger. People are no longer afraid to express their dissatisfaction with the government. They are standing up for freedom of speech and expression as enshrined under our federal constitution, and defending artists who are using their art as weapons of change.Fahmi is a prominent critic of Malaysian PM NajibImage: picture-alliance/dpa/A. Yusni It is as if your words in a previous interview have come true: "They can jail the rebel but not the rebellion." How did you feel when you saw the initial proceeds of the sale of your "offensive" clown items? When I registered the crowdfunding campaign on the Pozible website, I set March 31 as a deadline because I initially expected that it would take at least one month for me to be able to raise the funds. But I ended up reaching the target in less than 24 hours. I was amazed that people were willing to openly defy the government by purchasing these subversive and "offensive" clown face items and helped to spread this visual protest symbol even more. This is truly an act of civil disobedience against this government that is abusing the country's laws to silence dissenting voices. How relevant is protest art in the current Malaysian political climate? Artists and designers are citizens too, and as citizens we have the power to use our skills and creativity to visualize the anger and outrage of regular citizens who are already fed-up with all the scandals and corruption. I believe that in a country where artists and satirists have been censored, arrested and incarcerated for their art, it is important that this vital form of artistic expression - parody and satire as a form of political protest - continues to be practiced and defended at all costs. How successful has Malaysian protest art been so far in creating awareness and discourse among Malaysians, especially with regard to political wrongdoings or civil liberties? I think the clown protest image has now been successfully transformed into a Malaysian symbol of rebellion. Just look at the thousands of subversive clown t-shirts that have been sold so far and the numbers of clown posters and stickers that have appeared in the streets of many cities all over the country. Kids have bought and worn the t-shirts and enthusiastically share selfies of themselves on social media using the hashtag #KitaSemuaPenghasut to express their protest and dissent. More young people are becoming aware that our country is being governed by clowns and crooks. Other Malaysian artists have faced (or are still facing) legal action for protesting through their art forms. What is your view of the authorities branding protest art as a "breach of peace?" The authorities and the ruling elite in this country don't have a good sense of humor, and will treat any form of political satire or parody against them as an act of sedition or defamation, and protest art as a "breach of peace." In the past, the authorities issued stern warnings and took severe action against political cartoonists, writers, musicians, theatre directors, and even bloggers and YouTubers for producing satirical work that they considered "offensive" and "disrespectful." These actions clearly show that the ruling elite have always been intolerant of dissent, especially creative forms of dissent. It also shows that they are acknowledging the power of protest art in stirring up the masses. Will you continue "agitating" through art and are we to expect any new pieces in light of the upcoming elections? I have been openly critical of the government in my work for the past 16 years, and have been arrested, banned and prosecuted for my art and activism even before this current criminal conviction for the clown graphic. I don't see any reason why I should stop now. I won't be cowed into silence. You can expect more subversive art coming from me this year. Fahmi Reza is a political critic, street artist and documentary filmmaker based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The interview was conducted by Brenda Haas. Advertisement

If converters feel gobsmacked by the pace of change in today's packaging world, they should get ready to shift into overdrive. In a recent study entitled "No Ordinary Disruption," consulting firm McKinsey & Company cites five major trends that will force major changes that raise the performance bar over the next decade.
That study states that much higher levels of innovation and agility will be required to deal with the pressure and potential disruptions emanating from these trends:
- E-commerce everywhere. Intense focus on increased packaging requirements, including for new products, along with last-mile delivery innovations.
- Changing consumer preferences. Demand for much more personalization, convenience, health, and affordability, driving SKU proliferation to new heights.
- Margin compression. Further margin compression for fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) manufacturers and retailers, with pressure passed back up the line to converters.
- Sustainability requirements. Under increasing activist scrutiny and consumer awareness, expect sustainability issues to increase at every step of the value chain.
- Digitization/Internet of Things (IoT). Converters will be forced to adopt automation advances to drive down costs and gain a competitive edge with consumers through technology integration.
The impact of each of these trends is anticipated to hit with varying strength and speed. E-commerce is expected to play the largest role, with a majority of consumers increasingly making regular use of online shopping at the expense of brick-and-mortar retailers. Meanwhile, the study authors say the second greatest impact will likely come from digitization. Initially, digital will boost cost efficiencies via automation, and then increasingly provide interactive tools to engage consumers while collecting data. The remaining three trends — changing consumer preferences, margin compression, and sustainability — are already moderate to strong in terms of their impact, and they will increase in strength.
These trends are likely to cause major disruptions within the industry. Converters cannot hope to be successful unless "they think in new ways about their focus and market approach," the study says. Most converters need to consider an array of moves, giving attention to five priorities:
- Investing in R&D and innovation to secure a portfolio of competitive options.
- Handling SKU proliferation with more agile processes to manage shorter manufacturing runs, and faster product development and time to market.
- Reallocating resources and assets and pursuing M&A to achieve a global/local presence.
- Strengthening collaboration with FMCG manufacturers and input suppliers, including technology.
- Shifting the product mix and processes toward greater sustainability.
As the study states: If companies can capitalize on these changing consumer behaviors, technology disruptors, and sustainability trends there will be opportunities for high growth and improved profit margins in some packaging segments in the mature North American market.

Upcoming events
Julia Brandt - Commodore
I began racing sailboats in 2008. I have crewed on a variety of boats, performing multiple positions. I enjoy traveling to compete. For the past several years, I have been the sunfish fleet captain and been responsible for hosting the circuit regatta. I am honored to be the Commodore of our club; to represent our community and our little slice of paradise.
Aaron Brandt - Vice Commodore
I have been a part of this lake and club longer than I have been a member. As with the lake, I consider the club my second home. I have traveled North America sailing in different waters, but I always return to Lake Worth. I became a member of the club because they wouldn't let me help out with our member recognition. I enjoy helping out wherever needed. While I enjoy racing my boat, I appreciate the need for organization on the racecourse. As it happened, duty called again.
Kevin Culver - Rear Commodore
I have sailed many a ship. I have been to faraway lands. I have and will always consider Lake Worth Sailing Club by home. I am honored to have been a member through club transitions and growth, and remain proud for what we, as a long-standing club represent; strength in the sport, beauty in the art form, and family in the club members. For those that have come and gone and those that are yet to be seen, we are the essence Lake Worth Sailing Club. This is me and I love it.
Cheryl Springer - TreasurerMy sailing adventures started in the 90's. I bought a 22' sailboat with a friend. Neither one of us knew how to sail so we bought a book on how to sail your sailboat. We had that boat for 5 years and enjoyed every minute of it. I now have Catalina 25. I have been a member of LWSC since October 2019. I'm beginning my second term at Treasurer.

Hundred Days = Hundred Things
Its hard to believe that I am into the 100th 365TDTIWM this year, the year seems to be flying by. Looking back at when I began this, I was a little worried that I would not be able to come up 100 things let alone 365 things to do. Ideas are flying in from people and the support from friends and family has been wonderful. A lot of the ideas people have given me are spring and summer things to do so I have not dismissed your ideas but I am saving for the right season so people can do them when they read about them.
My plan this year has been to mix up each week with things about history, museums, restaurants, parks, events, etc. as well move around from Grand Rapids, Muskegon, to Holland with places in between and around. Every place I have posted is either a place I have visited, suggested to me, or had an event somebody has recommend to me. I am not a paid advertisers for the business or restaurants I list and won't be either. But I am looking for interaction from everybody. So if you see me out and about taking pictures of a TDTIWM say hi, if you have an event you would like to share feel free to write on the Facebook wall, or business if you would like share a coupon or special feel free to post on FB page or send me a link and I will post it. In another words don't be shy.
I will ask this one last thing, please vote or write in something below that you would like to see more of in the next 100 days.
Thank you and see you around town,

Looking Back 20 Years: Lloyd Pulley's Memories of 9/11
Story by Lloyd Pulley, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Old Bridge, NJ
Photos by Tom Price unless otherwise noted
In this story, Lloyd Pulley, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel Old Bridge, NJ, shares his memories of responding to the tragic events of September 11, 2001. Lloyd was among many Calvary Chapel pastors and believers who ministered to hurting first responders and citizens after that unforgettable day.
Follow Calvary Chapel Magazine for more stories about 9/11.
When Tragedy Struck
On the morning of September 11, 2001, tragedy struck New York City as the reality of terrorism pierced through the fragile and proud belief system that America was safe. At 8:46 a.m., the World Trade Center's North Tower was hit by a hijacked plane, and 17 minutes later the South Tower was hit by another one.
In the days of Jeremiah the prophet, the nation of Israel was wondering how God could ever discipline them. He had pronounced judgment and doom upon the people, warning them of an invading army, and yet they scoffed and mocked in disbelief. But that's exactly what happened—God used Babylon, a bitter, hasty, and cruel nation, to chasten His people.
Twenty years have passed since we woke up to this world-changing event. That day is one forever etched in my mind. We were gathered for our church staff meeting and received a call informing us of what was happening. We turned on the TV just as the second plane struck. I can recall saying to all who were there: "Today our ministry has changed. No more business as usual." We pooled all of our resources and focused all our efforts on ministering to the hurting, both within and outside the church.
A Thousand Souls
A former Israeli army captain and tour guide, Amir Tsarfati, came that same day as we were to be on a previously arranged talk show discussing terrorism. En route, it was surreal seeing the smoke floating away from the site of the attack, and I commented, "There go the remains of a thousand souls." By Thursday, two days later, we had made our way to Ground Zero. It was a gray, smoldering cemetery. Brave first responders digging through the rubble were limited by the intense heat. Quickly we realized that the real ministry was with the displaced lower Manhattan masses of people who were now wandering around Union Square Park. Along with those who had erected memorials commemorating their loss, were those who had actually survived the destruction.
"We ministered to tens of thousands mourning in Union Square, having lost a loved one or knowing someone who had died. We listened to countless accounts of people's firsthand experiences while bringing encouragement from the Bible. The Gospel was well received when it came from a tender heart willing to listen to the brokenhearted sharing their stories." — Lloyd Pulley
Reaching the Multitudes One at a Time
It was late at night, but Union Square Park was teeming with people despite the hour. Mourners continued to pour in and out 24 hours a day. Pictures of the missing, along with sympathy cards for those lost in the World Trade Center, lined the walkways. A somber atmosphere prevailed throughout the park. Candles burned everywhere—a silent vigil bearing witness to the gruesome reality that had just befallen this great city.
As I took in the scene, I noticed a man sitting alone on a park bench with his leg in a cast, and I felt drawn to speak to him. So, despite all that was going on around me, I walked over and introduced myself to him. His name was Francis. I asked if he had been in the World Trade Center. He said he had worked there and was in his office on the morning of 9/11. And then he was quiet. I sat down next to him and waited a moment before asking if he would share his experience with me.
Francis worked on the 26th floor of one of the towers. He was going about his normal routine on that morning when a violent explosion rocked the skyscraper. At the time he had no idea what was happening, but he knew that he needed to get out of the building as quickly as possible. He started to make his way down the crowded staircase, but before he could safely escape, the building began to collapse. Steel and debris rained down all around him, and thick smoke hampered his ability to see or breathe. In the end, his leg was broken, but he was still alive. The worst part of Francis' harrowing experience was not his broken leg, but the brokenness he felt in his heart. His world had come crashing down along with the building that day. Thousands were killed in that brief moment, yet for some reason his life was spared. Like so many others who lived through that awful tragedy, he could not make sense of it all.
As I listened to him recount the events of that fateful day, I could see the deep sorrow of his soul reflected in his eyes as he relived each moment. When he ended his story with a heavy sigh, I told him that I wanted to help him come to terms with some of his questions and to understand the depth of God's love and provision for him. Afterwards, I thought how different our meeting would have been if I had just walked over to Francis and handed him a Christian tract. If I had approached him with some clever scripted dialogue, instead of taking the time to listen to his story, it would not have had the same effect. Francis would have never known that I truly cared about him, and more importantly, that God knew and cared about what he was going through. After I left the park that night, I realized that just as the Holy Spirit had led Jesus to meet the Samaritan woman at the well in the Book of John, Chapter 4, He had also led me to meet Francis at a bench in Union Square Park.
We ministered to tens of thousands mourning in Union Square, having lost a loved one or knowing someone who had died. We listened to countless accounts of people's firsthand experiences while bringing encouragement from the Bible. The Gospel was well received when it came from a tender heart willing to listen to the brokenhearted sharing their stories. Thousands responded to the Gospel in those ensuing weeks. It was the personal ministry that made all the difference in the lives of those we encountered; out of this experience came my book, Everyday Conversations, Eternal Impact, originally titled Patient Evangelism.

Remembering Those Lost
The next week we coordinated a major memorial at PNC Arts Center in New Jersey. Many of those who had lost loved ones in the attack attended. Lisa Beamer, the wife of the man who organized to bring down the plane in Pennsylvania, was there and a young Chris Braca, who shared of his dad's evangelizing his co-workers and calling to say goodbye, [while] trapped in the top of the North Tower. A young NYU student, Andy Deane, shared how he was a block away when the second tower fell and was dramatically used to assist in the rescue of many trapped in the smoke and debris. (He eventually became a youth leader, later a Bible College director, and is now a pastor.) Mike MacIntosh, who helped many of us get credentials to work with the Red Cross and visit Ground Zero, gave the Gospel message. Among those thousands, there were many who responded to that call.
An Example to Live By
As I was studying John 4 while ministering in New York City after 9/11, I felt like I had stepped into the story. I was one of His disciples traveling into Samaria and marveling at the unusual sight of Jesus speaking to an outcast woman. I was awed by His example. This story continues to inspire me today. It is a rare glimpse into Jesus' personal style of evangelism, and a wonderful picture of how He walked among the people of His day. We can learn much from observing the Master and His ways.
One lesson we learn from Jesus in this encounter with the woman at the well is not to lose sight of the powerful impact of one-on-one ministry. That is the heart of evangelism because it is the heart of our Savior. In these days of organized outreaches, ministry teams, budgets, and time constraints, there are enormous pressures in the Christian world to "get results." Sadly, many of our ministries have succumbed to this pressure and have become professional, performance-driven operations. This shift in emphasis has resulted in many individuals being overlooked, or even worse, turned off by what they perceive as pushy, self-serving Christianity.
Sowing into the lives of individuals is the thrust of true effective evangelism and outreach. Don't lose sight of the importance of sharing your faith with those God has placed right in your path. Don't make the mistake of thinking that what you are doing to win souls for the Kingdom is somehow insignificant compared to the efforts of others. Evangelists such as Billy and Franklin Graham, Greg Laurie, and Raul Ries, to name a few, would be the first to tell you that it is the personal influence of Christians in the lives of individuals that lays the groundwork for every crusade. Without those who are diligently plowing, sowing, and watering in the fields, harvest times at these types of crusades would never be successful.
Twenty Years Later
Years ago, Calvary Chapel Magazine did a feature on the Christian response to 9/11. In this article I was quoted as saying, "Many times as believers we feel beaten down in our witness, we are worried about what people think of us, and we feel weak. Now, we understand far better who we are in Christ. We have authority to share the Gospel, and that has clarified the role of our church."
But do many still understand now, years later?
That hedge of protection which God lifted momentarily [during 9/11] would have hopefully caused us to take an honest look at ourselves. There was a national cry for a short moment, but it was largely not unto God. We had an opportune time to reevaluate our lives and get right with Him, looking for His mercy and truth. Instead, our mourning was quickly deflected into seeking revenge.
How far have we drifted from God as a nation since September 11, 2001?
What once looked like a pivotal moment of turning back to God has actually revealed how far we have gone in the opposite direction.
Perhaps God is warning America again, turning up the heat to lead us to repentance. Perhaps His kindness in withholding absolute judgment will lead us to repent. In the past, God allowed locusts to invade, getting His people's attention so that judgment would be averted. Instead of locusts, we have seen an invasion of the coronavirus, political tension, racial issues, LGBTQ+ identity confusion and indoctrination, and natural disasters. These painful times are forerunners to the final trumpet, calling all everywhere to "repent and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins."
"They sow the wind," the prophet Hosea expressed, "and reap the whirlwind" (Hosea 8:7a). In the last 20 years we have seen a steep moral decline among the populace, as well as among leaders—both in the Church and in the secular world. Many in the Church have not modeled a life transformed by God, but rather have compromised with the culture, not boldly speaking the truth in love.
What the world most needs is the love of Christ and the example of Christ demonstrated by those who bear His name. Oh, as Paul said, that we would walk worthy of the calling with which you were called (Ephesians 4:1b). That by the power of His Spirit, we would see those we encounter to become radically changed and influenced for eternity—by being all we can be in Christ.
A.W. Tozer once said, "The Church's mightiest influence is felt when she is different from the world in which she lives."

This Theory Claims That Loki May Be Coming In Thor 4 And Not Avengers 4!
The ending of Avengers: Infinity War left us scarred as Mad Titan fulfilled his purpose in life i.e rebalancing the universe by exterminating half of all life i.e trillions of beings. We lost half of our superheroes too including Dr. Strange, Spider-Man, Black Panther, Falcon, White Wolf, Entire GOTG except Rocket etc. But if there is one character whose death ripped us apart is Loki at the beginning of the movie.
The fans are still mourning and hoping for his comeback in Avengers 4, but as Thanos said: "There won't be any resurrections this time". Somewhere inside we all wanted Loki's redemption arc but just when he was on the right track, the Mad Titan showed no mercy. Most people have come to terms with his demise and believe that he will only come in time travel sequences in Avengers 4.
According to a Reddit theory by IanMoone13, Hela will come back in Avengers 4 and resurrect Loki as she has magical powers plus she is literally Goddess of Death, and Loki is probably in Valhalla right now. Also, Mark Ruffalo almost confirmed in an old interview that both Tilda Swinton (Ancient One) and Cate Blanchett (Hela) will be coming back in Avengers 4.
But now there is another theory which claims that Loki is indeed dead but there is no reason for Marvel not to re-introduce him in Thor 4 for a much bigger role without affecting his death in the MCU. How's this even possible? Well, Loki (God of Mischief) can have his own throne but not in the land of the living.
According to Norse mythology, the death is just the beginning of another life. The poem that Thor utters for his father Odin "mourn but rejoice, for those that have died the glorious death." Loki died fighting in combat and he chose goodness over selfishness for once in his long life, that must have earned him a place in Valhalla. Also, he said to Thor "the sun will shine on us again" foreshadowing the things in the future.
Recently, it was revealed that Thor's brother Balder was part of the original script but he couldn't make it to the final cut. Well, if MCU chose to introduce him in Thor 4, then he is just the person who could help Thor reclaim the souls of innocent Asgardians from hell. Well, let's wait for more details to come.
The Infinity War's ensemble cast is top notch and groundbreaking as some of the biggest stars have been brought by Marvel under one roof including Josh Brolin (Thanos), Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Chris Pratt (Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), Sebastian Stan (Winter Soldier), Anthony Mackie (Falcon), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Tom Hiddleston (Loki), Bradley Cooper (Rocket Raccoon), Vin Diesel (Groot), Jeremy Reiner (Hawkeye), Benedict Cumberbatch (Dr. Strange), Benedict Wong (Wong), Tom Holland (Spiderman), Letitia Wright (Shuri), Chadwick Boseman (Black Panther), Paul Rudd (Ant-Man), Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlett Witch), Karen Gillian (Nebula), Pom Klementieff (Mantis), Dave Bautista (Drax), Paul Bettany (Vision).
Avengers: Infinity War is the highest grossing superhero movie with Box office earnings exceeding $2 Billion globally. It is now available on digital platforms, DVD/Blu Ray etc. with all the bonus content.
The official movie synopsis reads:
"Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk and the rest of the Avengers unite to battle their most powerful enemy yet — the evil Thanos. On a mission to collect all six Infinity Stones, Thanos plans to use the artifacts to inflict his twisted will on reality. The fate of the planet and existence itself has never been more uncertain as everything the Avengers have fought for has led up to this moment".
Avengers 4 is the most anticipated comic-book movie of 2019 with the largest stakes possible. It is going to be released on May 3, 2019. The brief synopsis of Avengers 4 is as follows:
"A culmination of 22 interconnected films, the fourth installment of the Avengers saga will draw audiences to witness the turning point of this epic journey. Our beloved heroes will truly understand how fragile this reality is and the sacrifices that must be made to uphold it."
