Breaking Down Your Auto Shipping Costs
There's an old saying – "money makes the world go 'round." There's also another, something about how money doesn't buy happiness. Both are true, but happiness doesn't lower auto shipping costs. As such, understanding the prices of things – and why they cost what they cost – is a great way to ensure that you're getting the most bang for your buck.
Of course, most times, there's not much you can do about the price you pay. Whether you're comparing auto shipping costs, or new vehicle costs, or something else altogether, the prices are what they are.
At the same time, though, knowing why they are what they are can help you make sure that you're getting a fair shake. Like at a car mechanic – if you know about how much it costs to fix your brakes, you'll know when a mechanic is trying to overcharge you.
Today we're going to be breaking down your auto shipping costs, why things cost what they cost, and how you can get the most bang for your buck when you ship your vehicle with American Auto Shipping.
Article Overview
How distance affects auto shipping costs
You can't talk about auto shipping costs without first talking about how distance affects the price you pay.
Distance – mileage – accounts for the vast majority of the money you spend to ship a car. It costs a lot to operate an auto transport truck, after all, and one of the easiest ways that carriers have to make money is to just charge a per-mile rate.
These rates are higher for shorter trips and lower for longer trips, with cross-country shipments seeing the lowest price-per-mile. A good example is anything under 500 miles tends to cost around a dollar per mile, if not more. The further away your delivery location is from your pickup location, the lower the price per mile goes. Some long-distance shipments get as low as 25 cents per mile!
The pricing structure is set up this way for several reasons. For one, short-distance trips cost more because carriers just aren't making much on those routes. On long-distance shipments, they have multiple stops for pickups and deliveries, especially the latter. This means they earn more on the trip, which helps reduce costs. Those short trips often don't have those.
Not only that but if the price per mile were static, it'd cost thousands more to ship across the country. The price per mile drops the further you go in an effort for carriers to remain competitive and keep their trucks filled.
Why when you ship matters
If you've ever shipped a car before you likely know that the industry is a seasonal one. People tend to need transportation services more in the summer and less in the winter. And believe it or not, this can influence the prices that you pay, especially along popular routes.
During the summer months is when most people choose to relocate their vehicles. There are a number of reasons, too, but the bulk of the extra loads comes from people moving. Or snowbirds – those people that move to a winter home in Florida then go back north once winter has passed.
The increase in demand during the summer months makes it a carrier's market, especially on popular routes between major cities. Prices go up because loads go up; carriers can pick and choose which loads they want, of course, so they take the highest-paying ones first. This means that in the summer, prices go up if you want your vehicle moved in a timely fashion.
During the winter, though, demand drops, even on the most popular routes, so it turns into more of a shipper's market. Fewer loads to take results in carriers taking pretty much what they can get. If they get desperate enough, some may move for rock-bottom prices that may not even net them a real profit!
What all this means is that when you ship your vehicle will matter when it comes to the price you pay. So if you have the time to wait, fall and winter will likely yield better prices than in the spring and summer. This does depend on your route so make sure to talk to one of our auto transport specialists before making a final decision.
Let's talk vehicle size
There are two other major factors that will also affect your price: the weight of your vehicle, and how big it is.
It's no surprise that a typical car is the easiest for car transporters to ship. It's their bread and butter, it's what they handle most often, and it's what their trucks are designed to haul. They can also fit a wide variety of other types of vehicles, including SUVs, pickup trucks, microbuses, golf carts, etc. That's not a problem.
What is a problem, though, is how much extra weight those bigger vehicles add, as well as the extra size of them. On a ten-car hauler, it's not surprising to see bigger pickup trucks take up two spaces. This means that, instead of ten cars, the carrier can only haul 8 plus a pickup truck. So the pickup truck is going to have to cost more to move because they can't fit a ninth car.
The same goes for anything with a lot of weight, even if it's a regular car! For instance, many people put aftermarket parts on their vehicles that end up weighing more. This means that carriers will have to work harder to balance their truck and keep it under federal weight limits. This in turn means figuring out how many other vehicles they can (or cannot) take. As with a big pickup truck, a heavy vehicle will ultimately take up more than its fair share of space on the truck, leading to higher prices.
Most of the time, the weight and size of your vehicle will be factored into the total price you pay, as will most everything we have covered and will cover in this post. But it's important to keep in mind how size and weight will affect your price and to plan accordingly.
The issue with household items
Many times, customers have personal items that they want to ship with their vehicles. And we can understand that – it's already being shipped, and there's plenty of room for some household items, so what's the harm?
Well, the issue with household items is two-fold: one, carriers aren't licensed to ship household goods, only vehicles, and two, household items add additional weight to the vehicle.
Let's tackle these individually, and start with the fact carriers aren't licensed to carry household items. This is an immediate reason as to why you can't put household items in your vehicle. At the same time, most carriers won't care if you have a few personal items in the trunk, like clothes.
The real problem with household items comes with extra weight. Clothes and blankets are fine, as they aren't heavy. But when you start packing your vehicle full of items like furniture or electronics or even just moving boxes, you start running into issues.
Those issues are the same as the ones we talked about above, notably that carriers have weight limits they have to abide by. If you do have to put things in your vehicle, make sure they are under 50-100 pounds, they're out of sight, and, most importantly, we know about it.
Household items may end up costing you a bit more to move with your vehicle, and for the same reasons we talked about above. So make sure your concierge knows about it so we can find the right carrier for you.
Miscellaneous expenses
Miscellaneous expenses are always covered by the total price you pay. These, however, are expenses that you don't really think about. For instance, a major one is the price of fuel – diesel fuel in particular.
As the price of fuel goes up – which it tends to do in the summer – prices go up. That's just a natural consequence because carriers have to make sure their trucks stay filled. And carriers can easily drop hundreds of dollars to fill their tanks, sometimes even thousands!
Another major expense is just general overhead. Carriers have to pay license fees, cover maintenance costs, general overhead…these are costs that force them to keep their prices above a certain threshold. Drivers also have to be paid, as do the dispatchers and other office workers.
Even for owner-operators there are expenses. Dispatchers have to work somewhere, right? So there's rent. Rent also comes with other bills, like water, and power, and internet.
These costs are all wrapped up in the price you see. This means you won't be surprised by any of them. Really, most of the time they won't be an issue at all. But they are things that get factored into the overall cost to ship your vehicle, and they should not be excluded.

Michigan unemployment agency director to lawmakers: Fraud is 'a constant battle'
Nine months after Michigan's Unemployment Insurance Agency notified claimants of fraudsters' attempts to steal benefits, the acting director of the agency answered questions Thursday about progress made in identifying those claims and getting benefits to legitimate filers.
Before the Michigan Senate Economic and Small Business Development Committee, Liza Estlund Olson testified before the group of bipartisan lawmakers virtually. The lawmakers were in Lansing.
Olson touted the strength of the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund — which the agency said has more than $500 million available for benefits. Olson said it's unlikely the state will need to borrow from the federal government in order to cover benefits in 2021.
She also called for the permanent extension of benefits to a maximum of 26 weeks, up from 20, which some lawmakers bristled at.
"I'm taken aback by the sales pitch for 26 weeks," said Sen. Ken Horn, R-Frankenmuth, chair of the committee.
That's because earlier this year, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer used the line-item veto to eliminate the extension that would have taken $220 million from the General Fund to replenish the Unemployment Insurance Trust Fund.
Olson said she wasn't part of the decision to veto the extension, but said she agreed with the idea that unemployment benefits should not be funded with money from the General Fund. "I don't think it's a good precedent to set," she told lawmakers.
Olson also provided more clarity on the resignation of former UIA Director Steve Gray.
Gray resigned weeks before a report prepared by Deloitte & Touche LLP for the UIA and released in November. That report found that senior leaders at the agency disagreed over balancing fraud prevention with quickly distributing benefits to millions of Michigan residents during the pandemic. Deloitte and the UIA estimate "hundreds of millions" was distributed to criminals, most of which was federal funds.
At the time, no reason was given for Gray's resignation, but Gov. Gretchen Whitmer called it "a good thing" and "an opportunity here to take the agency forward in a different way."
Thursday, Horn asked Olson who was responsible for the decision to relax fraud prevention policies.
"Those decisions were made internally in the UIA," Olson said. "Ultimately, the director of the agency is responsible for decisions made and that's why there's been a change in leadership."
Olson added that the agency has reinstated the process of running claims through its fraud manager filter before they are paid out, among other changes. But fraudulent claims continue to pour in.
"We're getting very good at (identifying fraudulent claims)," Olson said. "We've sadly had to get very good at this."
Olson said an email is sent out weekly to staff identifying new methods used by fraudsters to try to steal benefits.
"It's a never-ending pursuit," she said. "It's a constant battle."
The battle has ultimately slowed benefits to legitimate claims — there were about 20,000 unpaid claimants as of Monday, according to the state's UIA.
Olson said claimants who are waiting to have their claim reviewed by a manager should expect to hear from the agency within a week about the next steps.
Those include claimants who have sent in identity verification materials but need to send in additional materials, and those who have a non-monetary issue and need to provide additional information.

The UK federal government authorized on Wednesday the proposed upsurge in Gaming Duty bands on gross video gaming yield created by UK-licensed casino operators included in the nation's 2016 budget.
The increase is effective for accounting periods starting on or after 1 april. Presently, operators comply with the bands set in the Finance Act 2015. Income tax prices at present stand at 15% to 50per cent. Essentially, operators spend a 15% taxation on the£ that is first million for the gaming that is gross they create. Then, the tax paid rises 20% for the£ that is next million, 30% for he next £2.8 million, 40% for the£ that is next million, and 50% for gross video gaming yield of significantly more than £5.6 million.
No information had been supplied on what much the Gaming that is current Duty will be increased. Comprehensive details will likely be set out in the upcoming Finance Bill 2016.
Casino operators is anticipated to submit two comes back whenever spending their duty. The first, a return that is interim will have to be submitted by the finish for the very first 90 days regarding the accounting period. The 2nd a full return will have to be submitted at the conclusion of the accounting period, that is traditionally a six-month one.

A tiring amount of the smartphone leak cycle involves trying to guess the names of upcoming phones - case in point, we've just heard yet another possible name for the affordable version of the OnePlus 9 that we're expecting to see soon.
Well-regarded leaker Evan Blass has found code referencing the 'OnePlus 9R', as posted on his Voice channel (opens in new tab) - it's not clear where this code is from, or if this is just his creative way of sharing leaked info he obtained from other means.
- These are the best OnePlus phones
- And these are the best 5G phones
- Could we see a OnePlus Nord 2 soon?
So now 'OnePlus 9R' joins the ever-growing list of names we've heard for this possible phone, alongside OnePlus 9 Lite, OnePlus 9E, OnePlus Lite, OnePlus 9 SE and various Nord-related names (Nord is OnePlus' line of affordable phones).
This affordable OnePlus 9 model is expected to come with slightly lesser specs than its 'vanilla' counterpart, and is expected to launch alongside that handset and a OnePlus 9 Pro sometime in March or April.
What's in a name
Hello, OnePlus 9R: https://t.co/0ARy9HiUXWFebruary 24, 2021
If you're keen to keep up with the pre-launch news on this affordable OnePlus 9 model, you might be wondering 'what should I search for?' - instead of running through the whole list of possible names, it would probably take you less time just to wait for the launch.
It's worth pointing out that this confusion comes not from OnePlus, but from phone leakers, as these various names are all coming from different sources.
Let's hope OnePlus chooses a logical name for this device though, as phone brands can often choose perplexing names for budget models, which can confuse those who don't keep up with phones news.
OnePlus itself did this with its Nord N10 and N100 devices - if you're not au fait with the company's phones, you may as well toss a coin as guess which of those is the more premium device.
So hopefully we'll see a OnePlus 9 Lite, or 9 SE at a stretch, and not the 9E or 9R, or the even-vaguer 'OnePlus Lite'. Using the same language as other phone brands will enable OnePlus to signal to potential customers where particular phones fit into its lineup.
We don't have an idea of timing yet, but we're hoping to see the OnePlus 9 line launch some time in March or April, or perhaps May at a stretch - we'll have to wait until then to see what this budget phone is called, or if it actually exists at all.

Impact Wrestling
Date: August 18, 2016
Location: Impact Zone, Orlando, Florida
Commentators: D'Angelo Dinero, Josh Matthews
This should be an interesting show as we have the first tapings under Billy Corgan's watch. For perhaps the first time in at least ten years, we're looking at an Impact without Dixie Carter running things so it should be interesting to see how things look for a change. We're also about a month and a half away from Bound For Glory so it's time to start building towards the show. Let's get to it.

More quilted gifts
My December One Monthly Goal (OMG) was another free motion quilted (FMQ) fabric basket. I used some incredibly lovely Japanese fabric for the FMQ.
|The light was at its best outside on the snow :-)
|I took an indoor shot the next day
|I really love this fabric for the journal cover.
I added an elastic but I really don't like it. It's just too jarring. I'll have to find some finer elastics in other colours, or just leave it out.
Another Throwback Thursday Christmas runner
At my brother and sister-in-law's, home I took a photo of another Throwback Thursday Christmas runner that I've never included in my blog. Sandra and I may not be hosting Throwback Thursday next year, but I'm sure that older quilts will show up occasionally.
|A Christmas runner made BBE (before blogging era) 😊
- I'm glad to report that this basket is the intended size, since I followed the instructions!
- I also used a regular cotton batting, so it was a little stiffer.
- That's two things that I learned from making that first basket!
- The grid that I followed to FMQ was only one inch but it came out fine. I did FMQ a half square triangle that I wasn't supposed to. I thought that it would be underneath the basket. But following the instructions properly meant that it was on one side of the basket. It's not really noticeable, unless you're looking for it.
- I was pretty upset about making the journal cover too small. I made the side seams smaller but it just wasn't enough. Finally, I went to the store and bought a smaller journal, but it wasn't as great as it could have been. I'll be re-writing my notes before I make the next one.

DAVOS, Switzerland (MarketWatch) -- The world's top trade negotiators are holding out hope that the clear mountain air of this Swiss resort town -- and the presence of many of the world's corporate and political big shots -- will reinvigorate stalled international trade talks this weekend.
While trade ministers usually gather on the sidelines of the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, this year's gathering carries higher stakes. And trade officials might find it helpful if, when they come out from behind closed doors, they're surrounded by high-level executives from the world's biggest multinationals -- a crowd that generally favors lower trade barriers, said Lael Brainard, director of global economy and development at the Brookings Institution, in an interview last week.
But in the eyes of some trade experts, the world's business leaders have largely sat on their hands as the Doha Round of global trade negotiations has stumbled into a near-impasse over agricultural subsidies.
And some corporate executives concur, acknowledging that business leaders may have dropped the ball.
"I don't think we've engaged enough in the debate. It's a time for us, business, to step up and be part of that program," said Coca Cola Co. CEO Neville Isdell, after German Chancellor Angela Merkel pledged to use Germany's current one-year term at the head of the Group of Eight to press Washington, Brussels and developing countries to give ground.
Unlike the Uruguay Round of trade talks that were completed in 1994, the Doha Round doesn't carry the same clear-cut bottom-line payoff for multinational firms from resolving long-standing farm subsidy disputes. That may be a factor in the more tepid interest of the business community when it comes to Doha.
But the trade meeting occurs as participants in the annual affair have expressed growing alarm over what they view as nascent protectionist threats in the United States and elsewhere, stemming in part from alarm over stagnant wages and the high-profile migration of some middle-class jobs to China and India.
On Thursday, the International Business Council, an organization of heavyweight corporate executives, including Goldman Sachs
"The current impasse with the Doha Round threatens to undermine growth and spread of economic opportunities to all. Trade is the most effective means we can offer to the members of the global community struggling to lift themselves out of poverty," said the executives, who are holding their winter meeting in Davos alongside the World Economic Forum.
The Doha Round of talks under the auspices of the World Trade Organization was launched in 2001 with the goal of lowering trade barriers worldwide in agriculture, manufacturing and services. But efforts to reduce agricultural subsidies have proved a difficult sticking point, causing the talks to all but collapse last summer amid divisions between the United States, the European Union and leading developing nations, including Brazil and India. See archived story.
Hopeful signs
Hopes for getting the talks back on track were stoked by a White House meeting earlier this month that included U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab and European Union trade commissioner Peter Mandelson, as well as President Bush and European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso.
According to Mandelson, Bush's words to the negotiators were direct: "Go to it and get it done."
Meanwhile, trade officials have given broad indications they've re-thawed the negotiations. They've cautioned against ideas that a major breakthrough on subsidy levels will be proclaimed from the mountaintop. Instead, as is often the case in the rather slow-motion world of trade negotiations, they hope for a sign that talks have thawed enough to allow more detailed progress in coming weeks.
For Bush, the clock is ticking. His "trade promotion authority," which gives the administration the ability to negotiate trade pacts that can't be amended by Congress (instead facing only an up-or-down vote), runs out on June 30. Without the authority, trade ministers are loathe to negotiate with Washington since whatever is hammered out at the bargaining table could be changed on Capitol Hill.
The Democratic Congress, which has placed an emphasis on labor and environmental protections in bilateral talks, is seen as unlikely to extend the authority overall. But if there is progress on the global stage, lawmakers could possibly be persuaded to extend the authority only as far as it pertains to the Doha Round.

ST. GEORGE — A new app is letting Staten Islanders report quality of life problems directly to their borough president.
The BP Assist app launched Wednesday for iOS and Android smartphones. It lets users complain about things like graffiti or request services like a new traffic light to Borough President James Oddo — and get notifications about the status of their request straight to their phones.
"This can be the go-to app for all things Staten Island," Oddo said.
"We know more people are using smartphones. Everybody uses apps in so many facets of our lives, it only makes sense."
BP Assists lets users choose from a list of the most common complaints issued to Borough Hall, automatically generates their location and lets them add a picture of their issue. The report gets shifted through by developers PublicStuff, then sent to staff at Borough Hall's help line.
Users get notified of every step the complaint goes through and, unlike 311, the issue doesn't just get filed away into a database but given to staff, Oddo said.
"311 is a complaint that you send to a system, but it's like putting a message into a bottle," he said. "Here we have human beings that are vibrant and follow up and fight."
Residents have the option of making their complaint public or just for Borough Hall staff and users can check a map of the borough and search through previous reports. Users can also file reports from the BP Assist website or through the traditional way of calling the borough president's office.
Aside from filing reports, the app also has a news section from Borough Hall, contact information for city agencies and information for visitors on different neighborhoods and their sites on Staten Island.
The app will also send notifications for important information, like school or road closures, but Oddo promised it won't spam residents.
"We are not going to use a notification to let you know that tomorrow is Thursday," Oddo said. "We're going to use that feature very judiciously."
"My hope is that when we put this out there some of these folks are going to see it and it inspires them that we are practicing what we are preaching in terms of tech," said Oddo, who is pushing to develop the borough as a home for tech companies.

Hypsicles (Greek: Ὑψικλῆς; c. 190 – c. 120 BCE) was an ancient Greek mathematician and astronomer known for authoring On Ascensions (Ἀναφορικός) and the Book XIV of Euclid's Elements. Hypsicles lived in Alexandria.[1]
Although little is known about the life of Hypsicles, it is believed that he authored the astronomical work On Ascensions. The mathematician Diophantus of Alexandria noted on a definition of polygonal numbers, due to Hypsicles:[2]
If there are as many numbers as we please beginning from 1 and increasing by the same common difference, then, when the common difference is 1, the sum of all the numbers is a triangular number; when 2 a square; when 3, a pentagonal number [and so on]. And the number of angles is called after the number which exceeds the common difference by 2, and the side after the number of terms including 1.
In On Ascensions (Ἀναφορικός and sometimes translated On Rising Times), Hypsicles proves a number of propositions on arithmetical progressions and uses the results to calculate approximate values for the times required for the signs of the zodiac to rise above the horizon.[3] It is thought that this is the work from which the division of the circle into 360 parts may have been adopted[4] since it divides the day into 360 parts, a division possibly suggested by Babylonian astronomy,[5] although this is mere speculation and no actual evidence is found to support this. Heath 1921 notes, "The earliest extant Greek book in which the division of the circle into 360 degrees appears".[6]
Hypsicles is more famously known for possibly writing the Book XIV of Euclid's Elements. The book may have been composed on the basis of a treatise by Apollonius. The book continues Euclid's comparison of regular solids inscribed in spheres, with the chief result being that the ratio of the surfaces of the dodecahedron and icosahedron inscribed in the same sphere is the same as the ratio of their volumes, the ratio being .[4]
Heath further notes, "Hypsicles says also that Aristaeus, in a work entitled Comparison of the five figures, proved that the same circle circumscribes both the pentagon of the dodecahedron and the triangle of the icosahedron inscribed in the same sphere; whether this Aristaeus is the same as the Aristaeus of the Solid Loci, the elder (Aristaeus the Elder) contemporary of Euclid, we do not know."[6]
Hypsicles letter was a preface of the supplement taken from Euclid's Book XIV, part of the thirteen books of Euclid's Elements, featuring a treatise.[1]
Basilides of Tyre, O Protarchus, when he came to Alexandria and met my father, spent the greater part of his sojourn with him on account of the bond between them due to their common interest in mathematics. And on one occasion, when looking into the tract written by Apollonius (Apollonius of Perga) about the comparison of the dodecahedron and icosahedron inscribed in one and the same sphere, that is to say, on the question what ratio they bear to one another, they came to the conclusion that Apollonius' treatment of it in this book was not correct; accordingly, as I understood from my father, they proceeded to amend and rewrite it. But I myself afterwards came across another book published by Apollonius, containing a demonstration of the matter in question, and I was greatly attracted by his investigation of the problem. Now the book published by Apollonius is accessible to all; for it has a large circulation in a form which seems to have been the result of later careful elaboration. For my part, I determined to dedicate to you what I deem to be necessary by way of commentary, partly because you will be able, by reason of your proficiency in all mathematics and particularly in geometry, to pass an expert judgment upon what I am about to write, and partly because, on account of your intimacy with my father and your friendly feeling towards myself, you will lend a kindly ear to my disquisition. But it is time to have done with the preamble and to begin my treatise itself.

In ancient times it was not uncommon to attribute to a celebrated author works that were not by him; thus, some versions of Euclid's Elements include a fourteenth and even a fifteenth book, both shown by later scholars to be apocryphal. The so-called Book XIV continues Euclid's comparison of the regular solids inscribed in a sphere, the chief results being that the ratio of the surfaces of the dodecahedron and icosahedron inscribed in the same sphere is the same as the ratio of their volumes, the ratio being that of the edge of the cube to the edge of the icosahedron, that is, It is thought that this book may have been composed by Hypsicles on the basis of a treatise (now lost) by Apollonius comparing the dodecahedron and icosahedron. (Hypsicles, who probably lived in the second half of the second century B.C., is thought to be the author of an astronomical work, De ascensionibus, from which the division of the circle into 360 parts may have been adopted.)
It is possible that he took over from Hypsicles, who earlier had divided the day into 360 parts, a subdivision that may have been suggested by Babylonian astronomy

Mindmatrix Launches MSP-IT Marketing and Sales Content Packages to Solve Content Challenges Faced by IT Industry Partners
The Content Packages, Available Exclusively to Mindmatrix Platform Users, Helps Them Effectively Overcome Their Key Marketing Challenge–Content Creation
Pittsburgh-based, leading MSP-IT marketing and sales enablement services provider, Mindmatrix announced that it was launching a new service line–Mindmatrix content packages to help its core customer group, the MSP/IT industry partners, effectively meet their marketing and sales content needs. This new service line is in addition to the content already provided as a part of the existing and popular MSP Advantage Program.
Each of these content packages target very specific MSP-IT customer profiles making for tailored, engaging MSP-IT marketing and sales content. Priced between $50-100 a month, the content packages offer 100 whitepapers, 120 emails, 25 postcards, 15 landing pages, 12 brochures, 2000 social media posts and 150 blog posts. The content spans a range of diverse topics that are of relevance across multiple industry verticals and is also updated every month to ensure it stays fresh. The buyers have the complete authority to edit the content they purchase and use it as they wish.
Also Read: Lucidity Announces $5 Million Strategic Funding Round
The Mindmatrix MSP marketing and sales content packages offering is in line with Mindmatrix's philosophy that the MSPs are too busy working in their business to work on it and that they are almost always short on time, resources and expertise, when it comes to marketing and sales. Mindmatrix's MSP-IT Advantage Program is based on these very principles and offers the complete MSP marketing and sales solution that includes-Sales & Marketing Enablement Platform, ready-to-use, branded content, business consulting and sales coaching, PSA/CRM Integration and MSP marketing and sales support and concierge services.
Also Read: Mindmatrix Launches Four Additional Marketing Concierge Service Packages Exclusively for Datto Partners
Speaking about the newly launched service line, Harbinder Khera, CEO, Mindmatrix, said, "Many MSPs-IT partners find that despite investing in a marketing automation tool or a sales enablement software, there is a gap and they are not getting the intended results. Automation alone cannot help MSPs succeed. They work only if you feed them with relevant, engaging content consistently to disseminate to leads. The Mindmatrix MSP marketing and sales content packages fills this gap by providing MSPs with ready-to-use, tailored, industry-specific content that they can use to build their brand, generate leads and grow their business in the process. Mindmatrix content packages fit in well with both MSP/IT partners who don't have a marketing person and with those that do. Even in the case of those with a full-time or part-time marketing staff, it is always easier to modify existing content than creating something right from the scratch. This approach saves time and costs."

Isabella's project will focus on the future of feminism. She would like to explore feminist themes in films, shows, and other forms of media.
I thought that this was a really great topic to explore as we are now entering into a new feminist movement. I suggested that she breaks her project up into the various feminist waves throughout history and continue on to where we are now, especially in the media. By looking at the past, she can determine what key changes were made and the *pace* in which they were made which could help determine the future.

Rumours of the mainframe's death are greatly exaggerated. Well, somewhat exaggerated anyway.
p>Though it dominated the computing world until the 1970s, the proprietary mainframe computer has been the subject of an on-again/off-again death watch ever since. Yet IBM Corp.'s venerable 360 architecture is still around, in the form of the company's System Z server line. And large organizations are still using it, and even buying new machines.
Case in point, IBM Canada has just announced that the University of Toronto purchased a new System z9 Business Class mainframe. This isn't a net new mainframe installation – the new z9 BC replaced an older IBM mainframe this spring, according to Eugene Siciunas, director of computing and networking services at the university. But it illustrates that U of T is expecting the mainframe to be around for a while yet.
"It's dictated by the application that we're running," Siciunas says. "Our student registration system is written for MVS (the principal IBM mainframe operating system, now referred to a z/OS)…. We don't change applications that large very frequently."
"Although many organizations have been gradually replacing their old applications, the speed of their demise has often proved to be more wishful thinking than anything else," says Catherine Aczel Boivie, senior vice-president of information technology at Pacific Blue Cross in Burnaby, B.C. "There are many 30-year-old applications out there." It's often tough to make a business case for rewriting those applications, Boivie says.
Large organizations aren't keeping their mainframes solely because they're stuck with legacy applications, though. Siciunas says the System z is highly secure – partly because the relatively small number of such machines makes them less of a target for hackers than, say, Windows.
For years the mainframe has also been seen as a more stable platform than newer systems like Windows and Linux. But that gap is narrowing as the other operating systems improve, says Michelle Warren, an analyst at Partner Research Corp. in Toronto.
The mainframe is also handicapped by the fact that not as many IT professionals are familiar with it as are acquainted with systems such as Windows and Linux. Few people going into IT today are making an effort to acquire mainframe skills, Warren says, and few established IT professionals who don't already have mainframe knowhow seek it out. "They're not investing in it – they're opting for Linux and Windows."
Siciunas agrees that mainframe-experienced staff are thin on the ground, but says the University of Toronto has little turnover in its mainframe operations staff – he is not responsible for the applications development side of the house – and meets its staffing needs largely by training internally.
Boivie says people with mainframe experience are getting harder to find – though she adds that IT skills in general are in high demand. Pacific Blue Cross has a good staff of mainframe experts today, she says, but "many of those people are approaching retirement age and in recent years, people coming into the work force do not have mainframe skills."
According to Michael Hobbs, national information technology practice leader at David Aplin Recruiting in Vancouver, experienced mainframe programmers are retiring and younger people are avoiding the platform because they see it as behind the times. One recruiter in Hobbs' group recently located, with some difficulty, four candidates for a mainframe job opening in Calgary, but none were hired. One of those candidates has 25 years of mainframe experience but is applying for data-entry jobs.
Some employers are abandoning their mainframes and laying off people with mainframe-related skills, Warren says, but there is demand for those skills in organizations that still run mainframes. "It's almost as if they have to find each other," she concludes.
IBM is trying to address the skills issue in more than one way. According to Robert Bird, System Z brand manager for IBM Canada Ltd. in Markham, Ont., the company works with mainframe customers and schools to promote mainframe-related training programs. IBM is aiming to have 20,000 people worldwide graduate with mainframe skills by 2010, he says.
IBM is also trying to close the gap by making its System Z machines easier to use. Last week, the company announced a "five-year march to mainframe simplification" that includes adding automated configuration checking, a modernized — or "GUIfied," as Bird puts it – user interface, improved software and asset management technologies and visual development tools.
Siciunas is not convinced those moves will make a significant difference to experienced mainframe personnel. He adds, though, that the machines are already considerably simpler to run than they once were.
And IBM is reaching out to IT people trained on newer technologies. Besides offering Linux as an alternative operating system for the System Z, Bird says, the company is incorporating open standards into its mainframe technology that will look very familiar to people trained on Linux and Java.
Despite all this, the mainframe's future is probably one of gradual decline, Warren says. Bird acknowledges the market in North American and Europe is mature, but he also says room for growth remains in developing countries, notably Brazil, Russia, India and China. "That's where we're seeing an uptick in terms of new clients to System Z."

Couriers Poor Services.
I wrote a couple of weeks ago about Royal Mail and their appauling costly service.
I pointed out to them that they needed to have a chat widget on their website and it was totally unacceptable for have to be put on hold for an hour and ten minutes before you actually got to speak with someone.
So when I suggested they did a goodwill gesture for causing my daughter stress they turned around and said they do not give out monetary compensation. I was not even suggesting that at all, I was merely suggesting a kind token like a box of chocolates or some postage stamps which would have been better than a kick in the teeth. Admitteedly they did say sorry but that is not good enough if the consequences of the stress my daughter endures can potentially cause her Multiple Sclerorsis to relapse, saying sorry would be like putting a plaster on a gaping wound.
PLC companies care about how much turnover they can make and do not care of about the consequences of their actions that can cause someone to end up bed ridden or in a wheelchair.
They even assumed that my consulting suggestions that I was looking to secure a job with them, omg, it is laughable just thinking about it as they clearly did not comprehend what I was trying to say, they obviously did not do their homework properly to even research who I am and what business I do.
Will I ever recommend Royal Mail to anyone I do not think so, just as I will not be recommending Hermes.
Hermes have now gone on my radar today as another company with a bad reputation that delivers parcels and takes a photo of someone's hand. This is not proof of delivery and is an absolute joke.
The reason they have rattled my cage so to speak is my daughter ordered from a retailer and paid for next day tracking delivery and the parcel according to Hermes was delivered but my CCTV can prove it did not.
She ended getting her final update to say the parcel was deivered to her address on 29/01/21. The only thing is I have a camera outside my door and I can prove no one delivered any parcel. I have been in all day so for the notification to say it was delivered at 22.18 is an utter lie. Hence considering it is my daughters's birthday and Hermes have made a clanger they need to make things right asap otherwise as I said in my previous post I will be singing like a canary.
Hermes are on another playing field if they do not have adequate customer support and take photos of peoples hands as proof of delivery.
Will I be recommending Hermes to any of my business connections, absolutely not.
I see the bigger the company the less they care about their customers and it is all about money and how to make as much of it without providing a good service or customer care.…..Never try to be too big for your boots and remember when you were first starting out and think in our current economic climate anything can happen, even PLC companies have the potential of going bust.
Lets see what happens with the outcome of the supposedly delivered parcel. I will update you again when I get feedback from headoffice……
Watch this space!
This morning a stranger presses our VOICE door bell and the woman said her mother lives two streets away from us and Hermes had delivered a parcel to her mother's address even though the parcel was addressed to my daughter. Not all people are honest. My daughter had high end cosmetics in the parcel and this incident could have easily turned out differently.
Sadly I have not had anyone message, email or phone me as yet from headquarters.
If you need a courier try DHL or FEDEX!

Among the coverage of the aftermath of Hurricane Florence, news stories about the overflowing waste from North Carolina pig lagoonswere among the most stomach-turning. North Carolina is home to a slew of concentrated animal feeding operations, or CAFOs, and these industrial livestock farming operations often involve storing massive volumes of pig manure in contained "lagoons."The driving rain from Hurricane Florence caused at least 110 of these lagoons to swell over. CAFOs are, in themselves, a topic of concern among public health and environmental justice advocates. But this specific example of what happens when CAFOs and extreme weather patterns collide provides an opportunity to reflect on the unique relationship between public health and climate change.

A status update on the Medicaid work requirement landscape
Earlier this week, Michigan submitted a proposal to the Trump administration requesting approval to impose work requirements on Medicaid expansion beneficiaries. Michigan's proposal was submitted through the Medicaid Act's section 1115 waiver program, which allows states to introduce experimental projects that "further the objectives" of the Act. (For a more in-depth discussion of the function of section 1115 waivers in the Medicaid scheme, see Carmel Shachar's Bill of Health post from earlier this summer.)
Work requirement waivers garnered a rush of attention after the Trump administration issued guidance indicating that it would begin approving such requests. Michigan is now one of twelve states that have submitted a work requirement proposal, with four of those states having successfully received approval from HHS.
This recent development in Michigan provides an opportunity to take stock of the Medicaid work requirement landscape since the Trump administration began approving the waivers. Read More

For many of us, it's a wonderful experience that we will appreciate forever. However, life in this region can sometimes be a little intense, and this is never more evident than in the lead-up to the end of the year.

Falling leaves, rising stress
When things start to get colder and darker across Germany and Austria, the change comes quickly. All of a sudden those long summer evenings will be replaced by days that seem to end abruptly, and turn into cold, foggy nights. To compensate for the lack of sunlight, both Germans and Austrians have come up with a typical solution – get busier.
If you venture outside the cities, not only will you find a countryside erupting in red, brown and gold, but a bewildering variety of harvest festivals for you to enjoy too. It seems as though every weekend there's another festival for you to visit, and with daylight at a premium, you can feel drawn to try each and every one. Kürbisstände (pumpkin stands) will appear on the side of the road in many regions, and you may just find yourself arriving home with yet another root vegetable you don't know what to do with.
It's also at this time of the year that many businesses begin to plan for the year ahead. Strategy meetings, conferences and other essential work is often crammed into the daily calendar during the four months of September to December. If you've got children, a bulk of their learning takes place at this time too, as when the new year begins, there seems to be a never-ending series of holidays.
Rising stress levels and a sudden lack of time in the day may not make themselves apparent immediately, but when they do, it can really be a challenge.
Stay happy, healthy and stress-free throughout the busiest time of the year with HelloFresh. Readers of The Local get €60 off their first four orders with HelloFresh. Click here for Austria and here for Germany
Shock to the system
Being suddenly thrown back into the work grind after the summer holidays can be quite the shock. There are often new systems to get used to, new colleagues to work with, and an ever-busier schedule. It's difficult to find the time to sit down to eat as a family, or with a loved one. Quite often we may find ourselves in front of a computer, eating as we work. When we do cook, we often turn to comfort food which isn't the healthiest option.
When you add the inevitable slew of social events that this time of the year brings, it can be very easy to feel out of sorts, tired and cranky. Too many carbs and sweet treats can play havoc with your blood sugar. Worst of all, you begin to miss the zest and spice of your favourite foods!

Your survival secret for the gloomy months
Now, more than ever, you need a strategy to make it to the end of year with your sanity intact, while still taking good care of yourself. Exercise is important, as is taking time out for regular breaks.
Another strategy that can help you at this time of year is a meal kit box – like those provided by HelloFresh. Each week, you get the exact amount of ingredients you need to cook recipes of your choice. There are tonnes of balanced options, and the best part is that you can take your taste buds on a tour far away from Rostbraten (roast beef) or Rotkohl (red cabbage sauerkraut).
Not only can this save you time – no more wondering about what to cook – but the specific portions means you'll be saving money on food you don't end up eating. Sustainable, recyclable packaging also means you'll be helping the planet.

However, you'll have to consider various factors before expanding your company, and you'll need to know every detail of Ireland's subsidiary laws.

Tribute Portfolio is the 10th hotel brand for Starwood Hotels. There are currently two hotels open in Miami and London and two more opening in November 2015 in Palm Springs and Japan.
Starwood Preferred Guest has a 10,000 bonus points promotion for earning 2,000 bonus points per stay, on up to 5 stays between October 12 and December 20 at any of the Tribute Portfolio hotels open during the promotion.
A maximum of 10,000 bonus points per member may be earned through this offer. This promotion offer is combinable with other SPG promotions.
Tribute Portfolio 10K Promotion registration required by December 6, 2015.
Tribute Portfolio Hotels
Great Northern Hotel, King's Cross, London.
Royal Palm South Beach Miami, Miami Beach, Florida
The Riviera Palm Springs, Palm Springs, California (link is hotel's own website. No Starwood Hotels page yet. Palm Springs Riviera Hotel scheduled to open November 3, 2015 as Starwood Tribute Portfolio hotel).
The promotion ad display only mentions three Tribute Hotels as seen above. SPG's Tribute 10,000 points promotion T&C read as if any open Tribute Portfolio hotel is participating in the offer, which makes me think the The Kiroro Hotel, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel in Yoichi-gun, Hokkaido, Japan opening November 19, 2015 will also be eligible for the 2,000 bonus points per stay, if it opens before December 20.
Starwood Hotels PR states the company plans to brand 100 Tribute Portfolio Hotels by 2020. That is a pace of nearly two hotels per month.
Starwood Hotels Global Hotel List, including new hotels in pipeline
Since Palm Springs and Japan do not have Starwood Hotels websites yet, the links on the Tribute Portfolio pages for these two hotels link to a master list of all Starwood Hotels worldwide, including hotels in the pipeline not yet open.
That list turned me on to an upcoming new Starwood Hotel for Napa County, California – Las Alcobas, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Napa Valley – Opening November 2016.
Napa Valley Register (Sep 9, 2014) – Las Alcobas hotel hosts ceremonial groundbreaking.
St. Helena Star (February 18, 2015) – Commission endorses 13 new hotel rooms at Las Alcobas. Interesting story about how hotel owners cut down protected oak tree, paid $750,000 to the city to get out of an affordable housing deal component of the original hotel project, plan to use less water for 70 rooms than originally estimated for 57 rooms and nightly rates projected to be $700 when hotel opens in 2016.

text: A body polish or scrub is an ideal preliminary treatment before starting a specific cure/or as a boost treatment for seasonal changes. Clears the complexion, and brings softness and suppleness to the skin. Smoothes its texture, moisturizes an softens the skin. Stimulate the cellular renewal process and enhances the oxygenation of the tissues. Allows the skin to be more receptive to subsequent treatments. Revitalizing treatment which helps reduce premature aging. Not only is this one of my favorite treatments to perform but it is my favorite body treatment to receive. I would particularly recommend someone to treat themselves to this wonderful treatment in the spring, fall and winter or there are many options of creating a body polish or scrub at home.

Tracker by BAAK
The design for tracker bikes is rooted in the original flat track races, where riders competed around dirt-covered oval courses in short races. Because of the terrain, tracker bikes have front and rear suspension, and rear brakes.
For the non-racer, BAAK has adapted the tracker bike for weekend trips on twisted country roads and the occasional friendly off-road heat. If these are your habits, then you can expect
- a compact bike with a low center of gravity;
- chunky tires on 18'' spoked wheels;
- and a wide handlebar for control when the bike leans sideways.
Moto Guzzi V7 Tracker
This "baroudeuse" will drive you far away while providing great riding feelings.
Triumph Bonneville T120 Tracker

Triumph Street Twin Tracker
The retro-look tiny roaster from Triumph isn't harmless anymore after this "spicy" treatment provided by BAAK's craftsmen.
Triumph Thruxton 1200 Tracker
The Triumph Thruxton 1200 is turned into an elegant machine, whose comfort and simplicity gets very desirable under BAAK's driving post.
Triumph Bonneville 865 Tracker
This Triumph Bonneville never hides its off-road sports aspiration.

This Royal Enfield Continental GT 535 gives up its Racer look and becomes a real Tracker.

Meet Our Team
What many people don't expect when they work with us — we're human too. We've all made our fair share of mistakes in this world; many of these mistakes helped us become the competent professionals we are today. Without these lessons, we would be left referencing textbook material and subjective news commentary, and that's no way to run a business. Our hope for every one of our clients is that after each meeting, you'll feel more confident and rest assured that we are doing everything we possibly can be to help you get the mortgage you need and to protect your greatest assets.

I have been working in the Financial Industry since March 1999, I left a career company in 2005 and decided to go on my own and started working as an independent Financial Adviser. I got my license for the Mortgage Industry in 2007. Learning this industry has been an intriguing one as there are so many different mortgage products than what the banks offer.
My passion is to inform/educate people of the different mortgage and insurance products available to them. As a result, I have built my business based on trust, integrity, and service while providing affordable solutions for mortgages, including purchases, debt consolidation, and refinances.

MinD-Skill and High-6 initiatives consist of tools for improving inter-personal relationships at home, school and in workplace environments.
Training is based on positive psychology. It includes performance psychology, nutritional analysis and advice, physical agility and awareness, cognitive training for performance enhancement, self-guided hypnotherapy, biofeedback, meditation training and stress management.
Education programs can be individually tailored to meet the needs of schools, workplaces, the home environment or individual circumstances. They can be delivered in groups, through personal mentoring or be self-guided.
MinD-Skill's Performance Enhancement programs work best on all three levels: Brain + Body + Bioenergetics.
Build skills. Improve culture.
Psychological research cites 24 essential character strengths for a fulfilling life. MinD-Skill identifies your personal strengths with its unique Survey. MinD-Skill then provides a method for improving your abilities by strategically applying these strengths. Tailored programs are designed to remove psychological obstacles and create mindsets conducive to ethical decision-making, personal growth and development. Advanced mind training techniques, gentle physical exercises and bioenergetics complete our holistic approach. MinD-Skill improves:
- personal and professional relationships
- ethical solution-focussed thinking processes
- improved communication skills
- efficient productivity
- staff retention
- customer satisfaction
- brand loyalty and reputation
- life meaning and purpose
- resilience and flow
- agility and flexibility in response
- potential and passion
- attention to detail
- stress and anxiety control
- anger management
MinD-Skill programs deliver tangible and measurable results.
Enhance Performance
Brain Work
Undertaking the confidential MinDSkill Survey identifies your personal strengths. Learning the MinD-Skill method manually, or via the App, guides you in ethical decision making: your own 24/7 advisor. Unique Brain-Work exercises lift performance, improve relationships and reduce stress. The I.A.M. program facilitates achieving one's vision and goals. Peak performance is attainable via directed self-awareness exercises. MinD-Skill yields benefits to enjoy and share for a lifetime. All material is unique to MinD-Skill and copyright-protected
Body Work
The Body-Work section of the MinD-Skill Performance Enhancement program teaches gentle task-specific exercises and stretches designed to reduce the likelihood of workplace accidents and optimise the performance of physical tasks. Simple-to-follow instructions respect people's differing, individual levels of fitness. Body awareness of movement and posture improves health outcomes including self-perception and self-esteem. Less fatigue encourages better productivity. Peak performance requires agility and flexibility; qualities that apply to both mind and body.
Nutrition affects mood, behaviour and brain function via our individual micro-biome, consisting of trillions of microbes sending signals to our brains. Bioenergetics explains the way energy is transformed in our bodies from the food we eat and its effect on our mind, mood and mental well-being. The Bioenergetics section in MinD-Skill programs teaches how our food choices can be used to enhance brain function and positively improve mindset. Peak performance is facilitated when the power of nutrition is properly understood and diligently applied.
High-6 Character Compass
Relationships are involved in every interaction – with others, with our environment and with ourselves. The High-6 Character Compass has been developed by MinD-Skill based on the 6 pillars of positive psychology. By focussing on positive attributes – and being regularly reminded to mentally and emotionally engage with them – relationships on all levels incrementally improve. High-6 Character Compass clocks have been designed to 'do the reminding'. They are available in 3 sizes and come with instructions and a poster including helpful definitions of each character strength.
In the school environment, at work and at home, learning and applying relationship skills is fundamental to harmony and eudaemonia (human flourishing).
Only 14% of the Australian workforce consistently approaches 'peak performance' by being 'actively engaged'. School environments may fare no better. Home life can be challenging for parents and children.
MinD-Skill Performance Enhancement initiatives, including High-6, are designed to improve every facet of relationships. They address workplace 'engagement' problems with a holistic approach focussing on 3 core areas:

The MinD-Skill KEYS
The MinD-Skill method is easy to learn for people of all ages from 7 to 107. The benefits of constructive thinking are acquired by applying MinD-Skill regularly to hard-wire one's positive attributes. The method is effective as an interactive aid to guide daily decision-making, harnessing our innate ethical bias. MinD-Skill is positive psychology at work in a tangible way. Engaging in supportive groups and utilising our individually-tailored services ensures easier adherence. The MinD-Skill App is available on the Apple Store and Google Play in both a free and advanced version.
MinD-Skill education involves instruction from professional trainers, each a specialist in their field. Individual mentoring or tuition may be available if required. Individual tuition can be useful for the Integrated Advanced Modelling Technique, the principles of which are based on techniques developed initially in Russia and subsequently in the United States with outstanding results. The aims of the programs are to improve vital life skills through developing deep personal insights into the inter-related workings of the mind and body, including the important role of nutrition.
There are two MinD-Skill eBook options, both downloadable from this website. The free e-book outlines the historical foundations of MinD-Skill, traced over 2,600 years, through to the recent work of US psychologists, Christopher Peterson and Martin Seligman, the founders of Positive Psychology. The second e-book additionally provides a detailed description of the MinD-Skill technique and its direct application to daily life. MinD-Skill is based on the principles of Positive Psychology. It is entirely secular yet universally applicable and suitable for all ages.

Earth Day celebrated with bicycle blessing and electric vehicle showcase
Parishioners at Trinity Church in Menlo Ppark were encouraged to cycle to church today in observance of Earth Day. Following the 10:00 am service, the bicycles — and one tricycle! — were blessed by the Rev. Matthew Dutton-Gillett.
In addition, the church parking lot was filled with a selection of electric vehicles), all owned by members of the congregation. Those interested could take a ride in one, along with learning more about them from their owners.

Visioneer VAST Network© allows users to securely scan across cloud, mobile, and company networks
FREMONT, CA, June 1, 2021 – Visioneer, a leader in capture workflow & digital transformation software announces Visioneer VAST Network© technology, a broad solution for the rapidly-changing document management and security requirements of today's "working from anywhere" distributed workforce. This new technology provides a comprehensive scanner software architecture that provides secure, shared document capture for the networked, cloud and mobile environments of today's digital workplace.
Traditional scanners required a single-user, USB-PC tethered approach, insufficient for today's distributed workplace. Visioneer VAST Network© removes these limitations by providing multi-user walk-up scanning and scanner access to anyone with a PC on a company network, Internet/cloud and mobile devices. Applications such as patient intake in healthcare, government client services, or virtual worker access via the Internet significantly broaden paper-to-digital availability with this new technology.
Visioneer VAST Network© consists of several software components, and is an extended implementation of TWAIN Direct©, an open-source, zero footprint image acquisition protocol to drive secure network scanning devices via web-based or local network client applications, removing the requirement for a PC-based local driver. An optional second level of security for scanned images provides for signing and private-key or password-based AES encryption (up to 4096 bit), applied through the Visioneer Network Scanner Manager web administration tool. Aside from customers using local company networks, Visioneer VAST Cloud Server provides secure scanning via the Internet, connecting user credentials and specific scanner access.
"The ability to share, secure document capture across a company network or the Internet, from any device with Visioneer VAST Network© is an exciting new path for our users," says Walt Thinfen, CEO of Visioneer, Inc. "This new technology is another step forward in our goal to simplify and improve the digital capture needs of our customers today and into the future."
Documents can be scanned from Visioneer® OneTouch© and Capture SE applications, other TWAIN or WIA-compatible PC applications, as well as any TWAIN Direct© custom local network, cloud or mobile application. TWAIN Direct supports all major operating systems and provides open-source SDKs for developers and system integrators. Future Visioneer VAST Network© architecture elements will include sharing for non-networked scanners, mobile applications, and partnerships with TWAIN Direct© application developers.
This technology is available today for Xerox© D70n Scanner, and will be available on select Xerox© and Visioneer© scanners in the future. Learn more on Visioneer VAST Technology© at www.visioneer.com/VAST. TWAIN Direct© information is at www.twaindirect.org.
About Visioneer, Inc.
Visioneer, Inc. is a leader in integrated document capture solutions, accelerating digital transformation for business and government clients. Offering a broad range of software-enabled hardware products, Visioneer's intelligent scanning software technology helps customers to improve workflows and increase productivity by unlocking the valuable information trapped in paper.
