Hey everyone! Do you like macro invertebrates?? Do you like supporting clean water initiatives? Do you like stickers?

If you donate at least $20 USD to the Izaak Walton League of America, they will send you a bunch of stickers! Like the one I have on my wheelchair

The Izaak Walton League is awesome! They are the ones who trained me on doing macro surveys and how I became a water monitor (and eventually got my current job). They give FREE training to anyone interested in doing stream monitoring as well as reimbursements on equipment. They collect data submitted from stream monitors to support stream restoration efforts across the country!

Happy #NationalSTEMDay everyone! I hope you were able to celebrate and encourage others to take part in #STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, & Math) activities today (and everyday)! We can always learn more about our selves and our Aquatic Eco Systems, while encouraging others to join in! I am working on being certified as a Save Our Streams monitor. Last week I passed the online Macroinvertebrate Exam, and met some lovely local residence and students during the in person practical! It was great being able to talk to the students & other scientists about my career as an Engineer and a Technical Writer, while being inspired by their careers and future studies.

Rival NPC's

Okay this took me a bit longer then I was expecting, but I wanted to give rival NPC captains the other Thirsty Sword Lesbians playbooks so they can be interacted with. I also gave them all a Bond, which is a general PbtA thing that's based on their relation with the PC. I'll incorporate them into a gameplay element later on.

Some of them have neopronouns, which I got from https://neopronounlist.carrd.co/#home. Consider these (or the mainstream pronouns) as the closest English translation to gender expressions you'd see intergalactically.

All the art comes from https://picrew.me/en for non-commercial use. I've edited a few, either to change some colors or to move watermarks in frame. Credits assigned as they show up.

Bond: Brin’s heist on Anna’s satellite held her career back.

Top 6 Considerations When Choosing a brand new Warehouse

Seeking a completely new warehouse? With so many accessible, choosing the right one could make you feel overwhelmed. In addition, it can create a complicated encounter for yourself. Considering the market to always be highly competitive, it's critical for you personally to choose the best warehousing area. This selection plays a significant function in the efficiency of a business supply chain.

Listed below are six important variables that you need to take into account when choosing a different warehouse for your business:

While browsing the internet for Agri Commodity Risk Management, I came across this website called NBHC India that provides the best agricultural services at the most affordable price. You can check out their website if you are looking for something similar.

1. Area - Prior to making that ultimate call with regards to the warehouse, you must take your suppliers' established transport locations. In addition, you need to give some thought to the spots of supply at the same time that you're prone to arrange for your customers.

2. Staff - Another crucial step to think about should be to review the size of the storage place to the number of staff. Today you need to consider whether this particular facility would be the proper match for the type of warehousing services you're trying to find. Figure out if the personnel possess the right knowledge about the type of support you need.

3. Association Memberships - Prior to settling for a brand new warehouse, it's crucial for you personally to check if they're active members of established associations that can lend a bit of trustworthiness to the operations. Do they really exhibit a high standard of trustworthiness and illustrate their guarantee for being real members of the IWLA (International Warehouse Logistics Association).

4. Knowledge - The warehousing premises you're prone to employ has to be backed by years of appropriate expertise in the industry. Check the actual day when they set up themselves. By doing so, you'll come to know that they've been there for long and tend to be willing to serve you with top-quality warehousing solutions.

They can even implement the up-to-the-minute technology combined with the uniqueness of the premises. They can implement completely new, exclusive methods to make things a lot easier for their purchasers.

5. Storage Area - You need to ask specified queries before picking out a warehouse. For instance , "Will the storage space provide enough capacity you need for your enterprise?" Besides, you need to ask what's on the market today so that you could move your products easily. Are they anticipating any storage area within the forthcoming times to create room for your own cargo?

6. Potential risk - When you actually choose to rely upon an outside seller to take care of your logistics requirements, it eliminates a component of risks which happens to be usually linked to logistics. The provider you hire for a factory will share a handful of your problems as it'll take care of potential problems to a specific scope that can arise later.

If you are looking for Agricultural Commodity Certification at pocket soothing prices, then check out the website of NBHC India that provides the best services relating to agriculture. Some of the other services that they offer are Commodity Trading Solutions and Agriculture Warehouse.

Nevertheless, you must perform a dynamic role when it comes to lessening that danger. Consult the corporation about the security measures to be taken, damage options, insurance plan and other necessary issues related to the safety of your warehouse.

These points make it seem so crystal clear that picking a great warehouse necessitates cautious consideration. Furthermore, you need to review your wants before finalizing one.

Benjamin Gordon is Founder and Managing Director of BG Strategic Advisors (BGSA), an investment banking firm for the supply chain sector. Benjamin consults with CEOs in the transportation, warehousing, and logistics industries and helps them maximize their companies’ value through M&As, capital-raising, merchant banking, as well as other strategic initiatives. Some of his clients include Fortune 500 leaders, logistics leaders, and private equity/venture capital firms.

Benjamin Gordon is also the Managing Partner at Cambridge Capital, a leading advisor, investor, and partner for companies in the supply chain and technology sectors. They help provide private equity to finance the expansion, recapitalization, or acquisition of growth companies, using their knowledge and expertise to help their portfolio companies achieve outstanding value.

Prior to BG Strategic Advisors and Cambridge Capital, Benjamin Gordon founded 3PLex, an online transportation management system enabling automation for third-party logistics companies. Benjamin raised $28 million through blue-chip investors such as Goldman Sachs,

Morgan Stanley, and Con-Way and was featured in the New York Times and Business Week. 3PLex was eventually acquired by Maersk.

A recognized expert on the supply chain sector, Benjamin Gordon has been quoted by national media including CNBC, The New York Times, Supply Chain Management Quarterly, and Business Week. He has also been a featured speaker, moderator, and chairman at the 3PL Summit, Supply Chain Management Professionals (CSCMP), NASSTRAC, and the International Warehousing and Logistics Association (IWLA), among others. In addition, Benjamin leads the annual BGSA Supply Chain conference, the largest annual conference for CEOs from all segments of the global supply chain.

Benjamin Gordon is also an active civic leader who is committed to giving back to the community. As Founder and Chairman of GesherCity, a Jewish community and philanthropy group for young adults, he has boosted young adult volunteerism, expanding the organization to over 100,000 members in twenty locations. He has also served on several non-profit boards, including Palm Beach United Way, the JCCA, and the Middle East Forum.

Benjamin received a Masters in Business Administration from Harvard Business School and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Yale College.

Where did the idea for BG Strategic Advisors come from?

As I was building my first company, 3PLex, I got called on by a lot of investment bankers, venture capital firms, and private equity firms. I was struck by the fact that most of them didn’t really seem to understand logistics and supply chain. So I thought, “Why not start a merchant bank focused on logistics?” In 2002, I started BG Strategic Advisors. In the beginning, I ran it from my apartment in Cambridge. Since we didn’t have an office yet, we held meetings in the Charles Hotel. It was a scrappy startup, just like 3PLex, but this time I self-funded it and we were profitable from year one!

Over the course of time, we had the privilege of working with a lot of terrific companies, including NFI, GENCO, UPS, Kuehne & Nagel, New Breed, and others. We worked on over 50 deals. Then, I eventually decided that I wanted to get back into building companies, as opposed to just advising them. I realized that I could be a founder, or I could invest in businesses that others had founded. The latter was more scalable. So I started investing in logistics, supply chain, and technology companies. To do so, I established Cambridge Capital. I started by putting my money where my mouth is, and investing my own capital first. Over time we’ve brought in partners.

Over the last decade, I’ve had the good fortune to invest in more terrific companies. XPO was founded by Brad Jacobs. Its first platform, Express-1, was a small company that Brad built through organic growth and acquisitions. It’s now a publicly-traded company with an enterprise value of more than $10 billion. Grand Junction was a startup founded by Rob Howard. He had

the idea of building a technology platform to help retailers give their customers a better last- mile solution. Target ended up buying the company. These are just two examples.

Our goal is to help companies by bringing more than money. We work hard to bring expertise to our companies where we can, leveraging our industry knowledge, technology experience, networks of talented executives, access to potential customers, and more.

                                                                 What does your typical day look like and how do you make it productive?

On most days, I wake up at 6am. I meditate for 5 minutes to clear my mind then spend 10 minutes scanning my inbox and responding to the most urgent/important issues. I work out for 30-60 minutes, typically either swimming/biking/running. And I start work with our daily huddle at 8:45am, inspired by Verne Harnish’s “Rockefeller Habits” model.

Over the course of the day, I schedule as much as possible. That makes it easier to focus visually on what I have to do. Also, it allows me to control my time allocations to match my priorities.

I also rely heavily on email. Since I can read and write faster than I can talk, it’s more efficient. I try to follow the “Getting Things Done” strategy. Touch emails once (reply, forward, or delete, with a clear action). Make the subject lines clear. Process ruthlessly!

When allocating my time, I try to focus on three questions:

Is it important?

Does it require my involvement, or can someone else handle it? Does it need action now, or can it wait?

How do you bring ideas to life?

I read a lot. I try to read a book a week. The last book I read was “Red Notice” by Bill Browder. It tells the story of how a young strategy consultant discovered the brave new world of Eastern European privatizations in the 1990s and ended up building the biggest investment firm in Russia. It was inspiring to see how Browder went to Poland first and Russia second, with an open mind and a readiness to apply what he learned in the U.S. in a new market where the rules were different. It was also depressing to see how the Russian oligarchs and a corrupt bureaucracy fought him, ultimately driving him out of the country and murdering his lawyer. But it was uplifting to see Browder pivot into the next chapter of his life, as a human rights activist who championed the Magnitsky Act and continues to fight for justice today.

“Red Notice” helped me generate ideas for looking in emerging markets for hidden jewels in the logistics world. I’m working on one right now!

What’s one trend that excites you?

I am very excited about the intersection of transportation and technology. That’s been a major theme throughout my career. One big driver is ACES: Autonomous, Connected, Electric, and Sharing economy. We are seeing lots of fantastic businesses emerging out of these technologies. For instance, Grand Junction succeeded by connecting drivers with retailers through a technology platform and a sharing economy model. Bringg and DeliveryCircle have similar advantages, albeit in different but complementary areas.

I believe electric vehicles will come to dominate not just passenger cars, but also trucking. Over the next decade, we will see a massive shift.

What is one habit of yours that makes you more productive as an entrepreneur?

I try to abide by the one-touch rule. When I get an email, I try to respond in a way that gets to closure. You can lose a lot of time with email back-and-forth chains. If possible, I try to give a clear and quick answer: yes, no, or depends on X. If you can reduce your touches, you can spend your time more productively!

What advice would you give your younger self?

Invest in the things that make you better. Reading has a multiplier effect. So does exercise, because it makes you better in other dimensions. And so does surrounding yourself with A+ people, in all areas of life. They can challenge you and make you better!

Tell us something that’s true that almost nobody agrees with you on.

Self-driving trucks will dominate the industry within a decade. Everyone talks about self-driving cars, but it’s already happening in trucks. Komatsu can run trucks in the mines of Australia without drivers. Driverless forklifts are already appearing in warehouses. People are petrified about the idea of a runaway truck driven by a machine that misses an important action. But this isn’t the Windows “Blue Screen of Death.” Computer-powered trucks are going through extremely rigorous testing, and will soon be ready for the road.

Also, while it’s true that self-driving trucks aren’t perfect, it is important to note that neither are humans. Tragically, 50,000 people a year die from car and truck accidents. Almost all of those fatalities are caused by human error. If machines can cut that by 90%, we might still have 5,000 fatalities a year. That would be terrible, but far better than the status quo.

Self-driving trucks can be implemented more effectively than self-driving cars, because they can be managed by companies. In sum, the driverless future will come to trucks first.

As an entrepreneur, what is the one thing you do over and over and recommend everyone else do?

Follow through. People value you when they know they can count on you. Always do what you say, so people know your word is meaningful. I can’t stress that enough.

When I started BG Strategic Advisors, our first client was a company called Air-Road Express. The CEO asked us to sell their company. We put together a plan and timetable. It called for getting the deal done in 4 months. In hindsight, this was a mistake. Your average M&A assignment often takes 6-9 months from start to finish. But we made a commitment, and we had to figure out how to deliver on it. There were a lot of late nights, early mornings, interrupted family dinners, and last-minute trips. But it all worked out. In the end, we not only got it done in 4 months, but we also exceeded the CEO’s value expectations.

That CEO, in turn, became a vital reference for our little company as we started to grow. It all revolved around demonstrating that we did what we said, and earning trust.

What is one strategy that has helped you grow your business?

My strategy has been to be narrowly focused. In our first decade, we were strictly focused on transportation, logistics, and supply chain technology. We could have taken on many more clients, but we decided that being known in our field would pay dividends down the road.

HBS Professor Michael Porter liked to say that strategy is about saying no. If you don’t say no often enough, then you spread yourself too thin. We try to maintain that dictum. Over time, as we’ve expanded our firm, our scope has expanded a little. But we still try to keep our focus tight.

What is one failure you had as an entrepreneur, and how did you overcome it?

I’ve had lots of failures! But the failures are what make you better, assuming you learn from them.

When I started 3PLex, we had a great idea. But we tried to do too much too quickly. We started with the idea of building a TMS to automate logistics. Then we added a combinatoric engine to enable companies to bid on bundles of lanes. And we also added a drayage management system. Three products was too much for one startup. We burned through a lot of money before we figured that out. I wish we had figured it out much sooner.

In the end, ironically, the product that we spent the least time and money on, in drayage, was the one that Maersk wanted.

The lesson was to listen to your customers, and ruthlessly simplify to focus on what matters.

What is one business idea that you’re willing to give away to our readers?

Think about how you can combine new technologies to augment classic business models.

For instance, every retailer in the world is trying to improve their last-mile solution to compete with Amazon. If they fail in this one area, they could fail outright. There is a fortune awaiting the company that figures out how best to do this.

Can you use drones, or warehouse automation, or other technology, to deliver a solution that is equal or better than Amazon Prime? If you can figure that out, you have a tremendous opportunity.

                                                                                                                            What is the best $100 you recently spent? What and why?

I bought a Fitbit for my kids on Tuesday. They are wonderful children, but they also love reading (or acting, singing, and watching) more than exercising. For the last three days, they have been running through the house and in the backyard, counting their steps!

The old saying is true: What gets measured gets done!

What is one piece of software or a web service that helps you be productive?

We all use email. But one thing I’ve found particularly helpful was a typing class I took when I was in middle school. Being able to type fast might have seemed like a job for a secretary at

one point. Today, it’s a competitive advantage for anyone who is in business.

What is the one book that you recommend our community should read and why?

“Lend Me Your Ears” by William Safire. It is a collection of the most inspirational speeches in world history.

Start with the uplifting words from Shakespeare’s Marc Antony that inspired Safire’s title, “Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.” You can think of this speech as great literature, which it is. You can also think of it as enjoyable to read, which it also is. But as an entrepreneur, you can consider these words the foundation for a persuasive call to action.

Any great leader, whether in politics, business, or elsewhere, should have these powerful communication tools at his or her disposal.

What is your favorite quote?

In the “Sayings of the Fathers,” also known as the “Pirkei Avot,” Hillel said this: “When a man is needed and there is no man, strive to be that man.” Putting gender neutrality aside, this quote captures the essence of leadership to me.

What Hillel is saying is this: when you find yourself in a situation that calls for action, and you see nobody else stepping up to take on that responsibility, then the choice lies with you. Will you take the reins, or will you let the opportunity pass?

I believe great leaders, great business people, and great human beings all find ways to live in accordance with this moral precept. Think about Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Sharansky, and others in activism. And think about Jobs, Gates, Musk, and others in entrepreneurship. In all cases, great leaders saw a need and realized that it was up to them to address it. Isn’t that what it’s all about?

Before he was even fully aware of what was happening, much like how most of this day was going, his name was being called and his body auto-piloted across the stage, shaking hands with his principal before being handed the diploma. The only thing that broke him from his almost-trance was the surge of cheers from one spot in the arena in particular. He smiled up at his family briefly before getting off the stage and back to his place in the sea of students.

As he walked by the rows, he caught Annabeth’s eye. She had the biggest smile on her face, pride shining in her eyes. Percy had done the bare minimum to get through high school, but she was looking at him as if he’d gotten valedictorian. Her admiration for him admittedly made him stand up a little straighter. If his girlfriend, someone as incredible as Annabeth Chase, thought he was something to be proud of, then maybe he was.
