"During the global coronavirus pandemic, China built dozens of makeshift hospitals and state quarantine centers, some out of steel container boxes. They became closely associated with the anxiety of mass testing and the fear of sudden lockdowns.

Now, cities are turning the huge centers into affordable housing units for young workers in an attempt to revive the country's economy post-COVID...

Just over a year ago, these apartments were used very differently: for medical triage and quarantine facilities. Beijing alone built 23 of these makeshift facilities, designed to hold up to 23,000 people at a time.

"It was not very cold yet but they told me to pack my belongings," remembers Hudson Li, a Beijing resident who was quarantined in one of these facilities, called fangcang in Chinese, in October 2022...

Less than two months after Li was quarantined, Beijing lifted most of its COVID restrictions. Li says he still associates the fangcang with a feeling of helplessness and fear: "It has been over a year already, but I definitely have PTSD from the pandemic, from the fear of scarcity and having to stock up on a lot of medicine and food."

Attracting young tenants with low rents

Now the fangcang across the country are undergoing a minor transformation and turned into apartment units for young graduates like Li. The changes are an effort from local authorities, who have been tasked with restarting economic growth and supporting small businesses after nearly three years of ruinous lockdowns.

Populous cities like Beijing are also trying to bridge the housing affordability gap between high real estate prices and low salaries, on average, for young workers. In the northeast corner of the capital city, near its airport, one fangcang with more than 4,900 units has been rebranded the "Jinzhan Colorful Community" — a reference to the bright hues of paint — and now offers amenities like a canteen where residents can grab a cheap meal before or after work.

Another fangcang facility, in the northeastern city of Jinan, has been turned into 650 units for skilled workers inside an industrial park.

"Given that the current overall [COVID] epidemic situation in the country has entered a low level, revitalizing the fangcang for other housing purposes is worth learning and thinking about all over the country," Yan Yuejin, a housing analyst, told Chinese media.

The fangcang, once a symbol of containment, are now supposed to represent dynamism and growth.

"I have complex feelings about this. The facilities were built using public funds and not rented out transparently," Li says. "But I do have to say you will not get anything more affordable than these apartments. They are very price competitive."

A list of rental prices for a Beijing fangcang converted into apartments shows most rooms are Rmb1200 (USD $170) a month, low for Beijing."

Even liberal San Francisco voters are getting tough on crime and public disorder.

Residents of the City by the Bay approved ballot measures Tuesday to set minimum police staffing levels, allow officers to chase suspects under reasonable suspicion they have committed or will commit a felony or nonviolent misdemeanor — with the help of drones — and set up public safety cameras that could use facial recognition technology to apprehend perps.

Another proposition that passed requires anyone who receives employment assistance, housing, shelter, utilities or food from city coffers to submit to drug screenings — and denies them those benefits unless they enter a treatment program.

The San Francisco Police Department had prohibited officers from pursuing nonviolent offenders unless there was an imminent risk to public safety.

Mayor London Breed, a Democrat, backed the ballot measures as she eyes re-election to a second full term in November — while facing challenges from Daniel Lurie, a nonprofit executive, and current and former city officials including ex-interim mayor Mark Farrell.

“We want San Francisco to be exactly what the people who live here want to see,” Breed said at a cocktail bar surrounded by supporters as the results rolled in Tuesday night, according to Politico. “And that is a safe, affordable place to call home.”

Voters also overwhelmingly approved tighter ethics rules for city employees regarding the receipt of gifts and mandating the teaching of Algebra I in schools by eighth grade.

Ballot measures allow voters to directly change laws during elections without the help of their elected officials.

Following a spate of state and local changes to crime policies in recent, San Francisco has been dogged by retail crime sprees, burglaries, rampant open-air drug use and public defecation.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, during a high-profile TV debate this past November against former San Francisco Mayor and current California Gov. Gavin Newsom, pointed to the city’s downfall as proof of failed liberal policies.

Dozens of big-name businesses have departed the city’s formerly bustling downtown area since 2020, the year after Breed was elected. Drug overdose deaths also hit a record high last year, with 806 recorded.

The descent into lawlessness was turbocharged by the COVID-19 pandemic and widespread rioting following the killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police in summer 2020, as San Francisco and other cities embraced calls to defund law enforcement.

Breed supported a $120 million cut from the city’s police budget in 2020 — but reversed course the following year and pleaded with the San Francisco Board of Supervisors to restore funding.

“I’m proud this city believes in giving people second chances,” she said in December 2021. “Nevertheless, we also need there to be accountability when someone does break the law … Our compassion cannot be mistaken for weakness or indifference … I was raised by my grandmother to believe in ‘tough love,’ in keeping your house in order, and we need that, now more than ever.”

The pivot to the center came just in time, as disgruntled San Francisco voters went on the following year to recall District Attorney Chesa Boudin, a progressive prosecutor and former public defender.

Before that, parents had ousted three members of the city’s school board for pushing a progressive political agenda and keeping classrooms closed during the coronavirus pandemic.

A former city supervisor, Breed was elected mayor in 2018 to finish out the term of the late Ed Lee, who died in office. She was later elected to a five-year term in November 2019.

She is still working to regain the trust of law enforcement officials, however, with the San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs’ Association saying in November that her “commitment to dismantling the criminal justice system has remained a focal point.”

Breed is battling a high disapproval rating, with 71% of likely general election voters taking exception to her job performance, according to a San Francisco Chronicle poll last month.

The city’s ranked-choice voting system could also throw a wrench into Breed’s re-election bid if she does not receive at least 50% support in the initial round, as second- and third-place candidates often receive more votes than those at the top of the ticket.

Former President Jimmy Carter, who at 98 years old is the longest-lived American president, has entered home hospice care in Plains, Georgia, a statement from The Carter Center confirmed Saturday.

After a series of short hospital stays, the statement said, Carter “decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention.”

The statement said the 39th president has the full support of his medical team and family, which “asks for privacy at this time and is grateful for the concern shown by his many admirers.”

Carter was a little-known Georgia Governor when he began his bid for the presidency ahead of the 1976 election. He went on to defeat then-President Gerald R. Ford, capitalizing as a Washington outsider in the wake of the Vietnam War and the Watergate scandal that drove Richard Nixon from office in 1974.

Carter served a single, tumultuous term and was defeated by Republican Ronald Reagan in 1980, a landslide loss that ultimately paved the way for his decades of global advocacy for democracy, public health and human rights via The Carter Center.

The former president and his wife, Rosalynn, 95, opened the center in 1982. His work there garnered a Nobel Peace Prize in 2002.

Jason Carter, the couple’s grandson who now chairs The Carter Center governing board, said Saturday in a tweet that he “saw both of my grandparents yesterday. They are at peace and — as always — their home is full of love.”

Carter, who has lived most of his life in Plains, traveled extensively into his 80s and early 90s, including annual trips to build homes with Habitat for Humanity and frequent trips abroad as part of the Carter Center’s election monitoring and its effort to eradicate the Guinea worm parasite in developing countries. But the former president’s health has declined over his 10th decade of life, especially as the coronavirus pandemic limited his public appearances, including at his beloved Maranatha Baptist Church where he taught Sunday School lessons for decades before standing-room-only crowds of visitors.

In August 2015, Carter had a small cancerous mass removed from his liver. The following year, Carter announced that he needed no further treatment, as an experimental drug had eliminated any sign of cancer.

Carter celebrated his most recent birthday in October with family and friends in Plains, the tiny town where he and his wife, Rosalynn, were born in the years between World War I and The Great Depression.

The Carter Center last year marked 40 years of promoting its human rights agenda. The Center has been a pioneer of election observation, monitoring at least 113 elections in Africa, Latin America, and Asia since 1989.

In perhaps its most widely hailed public health effort, the organization recently announced that only 14 human cases of Guinea worm disease were reported in all of 2021, the result of years of public health campaigns to improve access to safe drinking water in Africa. That’s a staggering drop from when The Carter Center began leading the global eradication effort in 1986, when the parasitic disease infected 3.5 million people. Carter once said he hoped to live longer than the last Guinea worm parasite.

Carter was born Oct. 1, 1924, to a prominent family in rural south Georgia. He went on to the U.S. Naval Academy during World War II and pursued a career as a Cold War Naval officer before returning to Plains, Georgia, with Rosalynn and their young family to take over the family peanut business after Earl Carter’s death in the 1950s.

A moderate Democrat, the younger Carter rapidly climbed from the local school board to the state Senate and then the Georgia Governor’s office. He began his White House bid as an underdog with outspoken Baptist mores and technocratic plans reflecting his education as an engineer. He connected with many Americans because of his promise not to deceive the American people after Nixon’s disgrace and U.S. defeat in southeast Asia.

“If I ever lie to you, if I ever make a misleading statement, don’t vote for me. I would not deserve to be your President,” Carter said often as he campaigned.

Carter, who came of age politically during the civil rights movement, was the last Democratic presidential nominee to sweep the Deep South, before the region shifted quickly to Reagan and the Republicans in subsequent elections. He governed amid Cold War pressures, turbulent oil markets and social upheaval over racism, women’s rights and America’s global role.

Carter’s foreign policy wins included brokering Mideast peace by keeping Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin at the bargaining table for 13 days in 1978. That Camp David experience inspired the post-presidential center where Carter would establish so much of his legacy. Carter also built on Nixon’s opening with China, and though he tolerated autocrats in Asia, pushed Latin America from dictatorships to democracy.

At home, Carter partially deregulated the airline, railroad and trucking industries and established the departments of Education and Energy, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. He designated millions of acres in Alaska as national parks or wildlife refuges. He appointed a then-record number of women and non-whites to federal posts. He never had a Supreme Court nomination, but he elevated civil rights attorney Ruth Bader Ginsburg to the nation’s second-highest court, positioning her for a promotion in 1993.

Yet Carter’s electoral coalition splintered under double-digit inflation, gasoline lines and the 444-day hostage crisis in Iran. His bleakest hour came when eight Americans died in a failed hostage rescue in April 1980, helping to ensure his landslide defeat.

For years after his loss, Carter largely receded from electoral politics. Democrats were hesitant to embrace him. Republicans made him a punchline, caricaturing him as a hapless liberal. In reality, Carter governed more as a technocrat, more progressive on race and gender equality than he had campaigned but a budget hawk who often angered more liberal Democrats, including Ted Kennedy, the Massachusetts Senator who waged a damaging primary battle against the sitting President in 1980.

Carter said after leaving office that he had underestimated the importance of dealing with Washington power brokers, including the media and lobbying forces anchored in the nation’s capital. But he insisted his overall approach was sound and that he achieved his primary objectives — to “protect our nation’s security and interests peacefully” and “enhance human rights here and abroad” — even if he fell spectacularly short of a second term.

And years later, upon his cancer diagnosis as a nonagenarian, he expressed satisfaction with his long life.

“I’m perfectly at ease with whatever comes,” he said in 2015. “I’ve had an exciting, adventurous and gratifying existence.”

Happy 36th Birthday singer-songwriter Paolo Nutini born January 9th 1987 in Paisley.

He is the oldest child of two and attended St Andrews Academy in Paisley where his career and love for music began,  when an artist was late to perform in his school, Paolo was asked by the music teacher to go up and sing a song.

As a teenager, in between writing songs, Paolo used to work a Saturday shift in  the family fish and chip shop business, and was expected to follow in his father’s footsteps and enter the business full time, but always knew he wanted to pursue singing.

Paolo found work as a roadie for the band Speedway, as well as performing live himself. He performed solo, as well as with Dome and Dick from The Dongues. Paolo also went on to work at Glasgow’s Park Lane Studio.

Paolo Nutini’s big break was quite an unusual one. During a homecoming concert for David Sneddon, staged by local radio station 102.5 Clyde 1, Paolo won an impromptu quiz. He was given the chance to get onstage and perform a couple of his own songs, whilst the crowd waited for Sneddon’s arrival. A member of the audience was so impressed with the performance that he offered to become Paolo’s manager.

Nutini was then invited to perform on BBC Radio Scotland after a journalist from the Daily Record saw him perform at the Queen Margaret Union. At the age of 17, Nutini moved to London and performed regularly at Balham’s Bedford pub. He was soon offered support slots with KT Tunstall and Amy Winehouse, he signed for Atlantic and began work on his first album, working with Coldplay and Badly Drawn Boy producer Ken Nelson, Nutini generated an impressive amount of buzz before his first single, “Last Request,” was released in the early summer of 2006. 

He appeared at special Atlantic Records showcases at Carnegie Hall and the Montreux Jazz Festival, as well as opening for the Rolling Stones and Paul Weller. These Streets, was ultimately released in July 2006 alongside his second single, “Jenny Don’t Be Hasty.” The album fared quite well climbing to double-platinum status and sent four singles into the Top 40. Accordingly, an American release followed in January 2007.In his singing his Scottish accent, shines through, he doesn’t try to sing in an American accent like most singers do, Paolo automatically sounded like no one else.His second album, Sunny Side Up, appeared in June 2009, featuring increased contributions from Nutini’s backing band and a bright, sprightly disposition. Sunny Side Up was a number one hit, and one of the biggest-selling albums of the year – and went on to claim Best Album at the Ivor Novello Awards.

The past few years Nutini has been living in his home town of Paisley, there has been the odd appearance on Karaoke posted on social media, but little news of any new materials as yet. He did however buy the Chewbacca mask worn by Lewis Capaldi on stage at TRNSMT festival, the original bidder pulled out of the auction. Paolo also donated tent thousand pound to mental health charity Tiny Changes and plans to raffle the mask to raise even more.

The Tiny Changes charity was set up in memory of Frightened Rabbit’s front man Scott Hutchison, who took his own life in 2018 after struggles with depression.

A wee Paolo story from 2020 is when he paid for a man’s food shop at Aldi after he’d forgot to bring his wallet. Apparently the embarrassed shopper went to shake Paolo’s hand, to be told: “You can’t do that just now.” it was during the first wave of the Coronavirus.

Paolo was back witha bang this year with his new album, Last Night in the Bittersweet, it is his first release in eight years.

'Not my governor': Minnesota small business owner rips Harris VP pick's 'radical' COVID-era policies

COTTONWOOD COUNTY FAIR, Minn. – A local small business owner railed against Democratic vice presidential nominee Gov. Tim Walz as “the worst governor we’ve ever had in Minnesota.” Diane Kruger, who runs a business selling Scentsy products in Minnesota, detailed how she feels negatively impacted by Walz’s policies since he took office.”He has ruined our state. I am angry and disgusted,” Kruger told Fox News Digital while working her booth at the Cottonwood County Fair in Minnesota. “Him and the Democrats, once they got the trifecta in the House and Senate and the governor, they have absolutely ruined our state. We are now probably more communist than California.”Kruger said that her business is still recovering in the aftermath of policies enforced by Walz during the coronavirus pandemic.FORMER MINNESOTA RESIDENT UNLOADS ON GOV WALZ AFTER MOTHER DIED ‘OF LONELINESS’ DURING PANDEMIC”During COVID year of 2020, my business income fell by at least 50% because when he shut down the economy in Minnesota in March, I couldn’t do any house parties. I couldn’t do any shows. I couldn’t do any events,” Kruger said. “And I still haven’t recovered from that.”RURAL RESIDENTS REVEAL HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT GOV. WALZ’S ‘VERY LIBERAL’ POLICIES: ‘WE’RE MINI CALIFORNIA’Kruger also said Walz pushed “radical” policies in the state after expanding access to abortion and requiring school bathrooms to keep tampons in male restrooms for transgender-identifying individuals.”Walz is the worst governor we’ve ever had in Minnesota. I don’t care what anybody says,” she said. “I always called him tyrant Timmy or dictator Walz. I wouldn’t call him Governor Walz because he’s not my governor.”The Minnesotan added that she believes “we won’t have a country left” if Walz is elected as the vice president in November.Kruger added that a Harris-Walz administration would make the United States a “communist country within a year” and would be the “worst thing that we’d never, probably ever get our country back.”Several small business owners and residents in Minnesota have talked to Fox News Digital in recent days and have echoed Kruger’s sentiment about Walz’s tenure as governor. Rep. Pete Stauber, who represents Minnesota’s 8th Congressional District, told Fox News Digital he has “talked to a lot of businesses that either have left or, when they expand, are not expanding in Minnesota.””He’s supported the highest income tax rate in the nation at 10%, he has taken a $19 billion surplus and the next year added a $10 billion tax on the hardworking Minnesotans,” he added.Harris-Walz campaign spokesperson Charles Lutvak previously told Fox News Digital that “Gov. Walz led Minnesota back with strong leadership, competent management, and smart policies — cutting taxes for working families and reaching the lowest state unemployment rate in recorded history.”Long Her, owner of New Fashion Tailoring and Alteration in St. Paul, Minnesota, told Fox News Digital that he watched hopelessly as his St. Paul establishment was destroyed during the 2020 George Floyd riots and that Walz failed to protect business owners like him.Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris-Walz campaign.

Analyzing UKs Leading Supermarket Chains: Insights from Retail Data Scraping on Locations

In the UK, a competitive landscape among supermarkets intensifies as a limited number of retailers vie for customer loyalty. Determining the best deals, quality food, and top-notch service becomes increasingly challenging. The dynamics shift further with the emergence of online grocers amid the coronavirus pandemic. This analysis using retail data scraping explores the leading UK supermarkets, including Co-op Food, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Nisa, Aldi, Lidl, Asda, Morrisons, and M&S Simply Food, shedding light on their offerings, services, and strategies in the face of evolving market conditions.

In response to the challenges posed by the pandemic, the UK government initiated a year-long payment break for business rates in March 2020. It resulted in substantial tax breaks, estimated at nearly £2 billion, for major supermarket chains. Criticism ensued as these supermarkets continued operations while other struggling businesses did not receive similar support. In a commendable move, Tesco, Sainsbury's, Aldi, Asda, and Morrisons pledged to repay the government for savings garnered during the pandemic tax break. At the same time, Co-op and Waitrose chose not to participate.

In Djibouti, kiosks are being used as part of a stimulus plan to help the country’s economy stay afloat in the face of the coronavirus pandemic. Kiosks are used to distribute a range of goods such as food, medication, and other essential items to citizens quickly, easily, and safely. At kiosks, customers can conveniently transact and make payments, resulting in a boost in local businesses.

This form of stimulus allows people to be able to access key goods at a minimal cost, creating more spending power for the citizens. Kiosks can also be key in supporting small businesses in the country. Through the use of kiosks, small businesses are able to keep operating, without having to worry about potential losses due to physical distancing.

The money that is being directed to implement the kiosks-as-stimulus plan also helps provide employment during the crisis. It provides jobs to people who are working to design, build, and staff the kiosks. This has direct benefits for the families and the communities of the employed workers.

Additionally, kiosks as a stimulus plan can create more opportunities for businesses, which in turn helps stimulate the economy as the population rises. It helps small businesses grow, by allowing more consumers to access their services.

Kiosks have many advantages in Djibouti’s current situation. They serve as a convenient, cost-effective, and safe way to provide goods to its people and help stimulate the economy.

What Does it Mean to Be NDIS Registered?

If you are a disability support provider, then becoming NDIS registered can help to boost your business. But what does it actually mean?

Being NDIS registered means that you can work with participants whose plans are Agency managed. This is the preferred option for many participants. However, unregistered providers can work with self-managed participants too.

Collaborative Approach to Support

An NDIS registered provider focuses on collaboration, building relationships with participants and their extended care teams to ensure that the right supports are implemented. They also work with a wide range of partners, including community organisations, allied health professionals, and local government bodies, to create comprehensive support networks.

These providers offer a variety of services, including respite care, educational support, and mental health support. They are experienced in dealing with culturally diverse clients and embracing best practices when it comes to disability support delivery.

They are committed to upholding scheme integrity, ensuring that allocated funds are used properly and to the benefit of participants. They also have strong systems in place to detect fraud and misuse of funding. This helps them maintain trust among the broader community and the people they serve. They also focus on improving accessibility and reducing wait times for supports. This is especially important for those with complex and urgent needs.

Continuity of Care

Continuity of care is a crucial factor in improving outcomes and creating an exceptional experience for individuals with disabilities. It allows nurses to build trusting relationships with participants, providing a level of familiarity that can help foster empathy. In turn, this creates an environment where participants feel empowered to manage their own health.

NDIS registered providers can offer continuity of care to participants by continuing existing support arrangements where appropriate, once the CoS Programme is implemented in their region. CoS Programme Arrangements will fund equivalent care and services to help clients achieve similar outcomes to those they were achieving prior to the transition.

If a provider is offering shared supports, they should outline the arrangement in their ISP Service Agreement with the client (and their carer/advocate/nominee) and make it clear to all parties what their role will be should one party exit the agreement. The NDIS Practice Standards and Quality Indicators apply to shared support arrangements.

Accountability When Used

NDIS registration ensures providers adhere to strict standards and regulations, and that their services are regularly audited & assessed. This gives participants confidence that their provider is delivering high-quality services at the best price.

Registered providers also have to undertake worker screening for key personnel in risk-assessed roles – see NDS: Worker Screening webpage. This helps to ensure that the people delivering supports do not pose an unacceptable risk of harm to participants.

However, many participants prefer to continue using small, local providers that are often unregistered – providing greater flexibility and cost savings. Under the proposed NDIS registration scheme, this option may be limited unless the provider is prepared to undergo the process of registering – which can be costly and timeconsuming for smaller business. This could drive away these trusted providers who often provide low-cost, flexible and tailored support. In addition, the NDIS Review Panel’s proposal of a risk-proportionate model for visibility and regulation will potentially impact upon this choice.

Flexibility

The helping hearts offered to participants during the coronavirus pandemic is a positive change and should remain an ongoing feature of the NDIS. However, it’s important to remember that there are a lot of variables around this, including the flexibility offered by non-registered providers. These providers may not be less qualified but might lack the time, funds or capacity to go through the NDIS registration procedure.

As a result, they might not offer the same level of accountability. This can be particularly true if they are offering services at prices below the NDIS Price Guide or Price Limits.

In both cases, it’s important to keep in mind that the NDIA has a set of rules and procedures in place to protect participants and ensure the highest standards of quality care. For that reason, participants are encouraged to consider the benefits of registered providers – which include a range of expertise and assurances around quality, safety and accountability.

MAKERS HQ & BA FASHION DESIGN STUDENTS PRODUCE PPE OUT OF SURPLUS HOSPITAL CURTAINS FOR LOCAL SURGERY

Unique challenges have arisen from the COVID-19 (coronavirus) global pandemic putting pressure on many of our essential services. Makers HQ, a community interest fashion sampling studio and training centre in collaboration with Plymouth College of Art, Millfields Trust and the local Stonehouse community, have responded by putting their sewing skills to use during the lockdown, producing protective gowns for a local medical practice.

In response to an urgent callout for personal protective equipment (PPE) from GP Dr Amanda Harry at West Hoe Surgery, Makers HQ jumped into action producing vital clothing construction kits. Local volunteers from Plymouth College of Art and the wider community, with technical knowledge of fashion design and production, are now using the kits to manufacture gowns and scrubs from medical curtains — fabric usually found dividing patient beds in hospitals.

Makers HQ provides high-quality sampling services to the fashion and textile industry as well as offering a diverse range of qualifications and short courses from pattern making to stitching. The studio has now made its machinery and skills available to facilitate the production of vital PPE.

Makers HQ have now received a delivery of fifty curtains from the surgery along with a sample and a pattern to get started. After a tweak to the pattern by pattern cutters, machinists at the studio have cut the curtains to size, ready for distribution. Elastic for the cuffs, threads, instruction manuals and domestic sewing machines have then been organised into kits for volunteers to create in the safety of their own home.

Heather Martin, Senior Lecturer and Course Leader for BA (Hons) Fashion Design, has coordinated a number of volunteers including Plymouth College of Art academics, technicians and supporting staff as well as students across multiple creative disciplines. So far over 100 kits have been produced, and within one week over 30 undergraduate students from the college have offered to give up their time to support the needs of local industry.

Heather said: “It makes me very proud to teach, as so many of our fashion students have joined forces with Makers HQ to produce PPE for the NHS. This interest is testament to the kind of socially-minded students that we have in our course and at Plymouth College of Art.”

“This is a function over form project that encourages our students to understand just how transferable and valuable their skill set is. It reaches beyond the next trend to solve real-world problems that can benefit our local communities.”

Year three BA (Hons) Fashion student and volunteer River Smith said: “My mum is a nurse within the NHS, so I’ve grown up understanding how important the NHS and its staff is. I’ve wanted to help and contribute towards the PPE shortage, but staying at home makes it feel like we’re doing nothing. We’re doing our part, but when this opportunity came up, I jumped at the chance to get involved and do some good.”

Makers HQ Studio Manager Sophie Glover said: “This is a difficult time for our business as we’ve had to pause most of our operations and furlough some staff. At the same time, we want to do everything we can to help the NHS, and it’s great that we’ve been able to draw on our partnership with Plymouth College of Art to support this project.”

“Our hope is that we can coordinate with all the relevant bodies so that we can help the NHS on a bigger scale while also being able to sustain our business and put more of our employees back to work.”

Makers HQ is a community interest company operating as a fashion sampling studio and training centre, providing high-quality services to the fashion and textile industry. Supporting designers to get their collections ready to show and sell, Makers HQ provide essential sampling facilities to established brands. The studio also offers a diverse range of qualifications and short courses from pattern making to stitching skills.

Getting Involved With Your Community Funeral Care

Every community holds events for a variety of causes and celebrations. Getting involved with these events helps establish your funeral home as a respected and trusted member of the community funeral care.

If a large sponsorship commitment isn’t feasible, consider other ways to promote your business at these events. Some examples include:

Hosting Events

While bringing people together was difficult during the coronavirus pandemic, funeral homes still need to host events to build trust and promote their services. Luckily, technology makes it easier than ever to hold events virtually. Many funeral home owners are taking advantage of this opportunity by hosting seminars and remembrance ceremonies to educate the community on preplanning and memorialization.

Other funeral directors are bringing people together by sponsoring local kids’ teams, such as Little League or recreational sports. This helps keep costs low for families while generating goodwill in the community.

Funeral homes can also host charitable and educational events, such as a community nature hike or a food bank collection drive. These activities can help families who are struggling with grief and demonstrate your funeral home’s compassion. You can also use these events to introduce the community to your online aftercare checklists and other resources that support grieving families. Getting the word out about these events is important, so make sure you advertise them in your funeral home’s social media pages and email newsletter.

Networking

Funeral planner professionals often find themselves at the heart of community events, and that’s a good thing. It helps them understand what their clients are going through during one of the most challenging times in life and how best to guide them. It’s also a great way to build connections and establish their presence.

Hosting a social, charitable or educational event can be a great opportunity for a mortician to reach out to their local community. If a large sponsorship isn’t in your budget, consider a smaller donation or offering to provide volunteers or other resources.

Host a workshop or seminar on topics related to funeral service. For example, you could host a discussion on new trends in end-of-life care such as green burial, younger people’s views of death positivity and modern memorial planning. NFDA members can find professional development opportunities in their area by using the NFDA’s Find a Seminar tool. This directory includes first-class education sessions, workshops and more, all designed to meet the needs of funeral directors and their guests.

Sponsoring Kids’ Sports

Nothing says “community” more than supporting the local kids, and sponsoring a little league team or a kids’ recreational sports organization is a great way to do just that. It’s a wonderful way to build goodwill with the community and generate awareness of your funeral home brand.

While obituaries are a necessary component of any funeral home’s marketing, don’t be afraid to expand your outreach efforts and get creative with how you engage with the community. Whether it’s hosting a weekly support group, sponsoring a local team or holding an annual Polish picnic, there are countless ways to show your funeral home’s dedication to its community. Be sure to share your efforts on social media so that people can learn more about what you’re doing. That will reinforce the message that you are a compassionate, caring professional who is committed to the community. This will help families feel comfortable when they are making funeral arrangements.

Showing People Behind the Scenes

When shopping for a funeral home, you want to feel comfortable with the people running it. These are the folks your loved ones will work with directly, so it’s important to make sure you visit several homes and meet the staff. Remember, New York state law requires funeral homes to publish a general price list that includes a basic services fee for the funeral director and staff as well as charges for other services and merchandise.

Best Small Business and Start-Up Loans and Grants in the UK

Mark Lyttleton is an experienced business mentor and angel investor who helps founders to deal with the challenges involved in launching and scaling a successful business. This article will look at funding options for start-ups in the UK, with a particular focus on start-up loans and grants.

For an entrepreneur attempting to translate their promising idea into a profitable business venture, access to financing is crucial. For inexperienced entrepreneurs lacking credentials and contacts, securing a bank loan can be an uphill struggle given the significant risks associated with investing in early-stage businesses. Nevertheless, for those with an exciting product and solid business concept, there are several avenues to explore.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are the lifeblood of the UK economy, not only providing tax revenue but also supporting employment, enterprise and economic growth. To help UK citizens build and grow their businesses, the UK Government offers an assortment of different grants and loans.

The UK Government launched numerous business support schemes during the pandemic, including the Future Fund, the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme, the Bounce Back Loan Scheme, the Kickstart Scheme, the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme, the Local Restrictions Support Grant and the Additional Restrictions Grant. However, most of these schemes are now closed to new applications.

For UK businesses in need of an injection of collateral, there are numerous other business funding schemes to apply for in the UK. One of the most attractive benefits of securing a business grant rather than a loan lies in the fact that, unlike a loan, a grant does not need to be repaid.

Small business grants available in the UK include:

Grow It, a scheme that supports businesses that work on special projects that support the local community, providing not only expert guidance but also up to £15,000 in funding

CRACK-IT Challenges, a business grant scheme that encourages collaboration between academics and businesses, inviting SMEs to solve technological and scientific problems or develop new products

Arts Council National Lottery Project Grants, providing much-needed financial support to organisations with a focus on creative initiatives, including art galleries and theatres, providing grants ranging from £1,000 to £100,000

The Seed Enterprise Investment Scheme, a grant fund that encourages investors to back SMEs by providing tax incentives to those who purchase shares; through the scheme, companies can receive a maximum investment of £150,000

The Gigabit Broadband Voucher Scheme, which provides businesses based in rural locations with a £3,500 grant in order to upgrade to high-speed broadband

SAN JOSE — A high-profile downtown San Jose venue, weighed down by a sour California business climate and burdensome city rules, will shut its doors within days in a fresh blow to the city’s frail urban core.

Axe-Men Throw House, located near the corner of South Second Street and East Santa Clara Street, will cease operations this month, according to the venue’s principal owner and operator and a Facebook post.

The shutdown looms despite some bright business metrics for Axe-Men Throw House.

“Business was improving,” said Sarah Sed, principal owner and operator of Axe-Men Throw House. “We had a great product and there was a lot of interest. Our patrons loved that they got customized coaching on ax throwing. Coaches would be there during a session.”

Ultimately, the revenue improvement over two-plus years of operation didn’t suffice.

“We could never make enough money above and beyond the high cost of doing business in California and the high rents in San Jose,” Sed said. “We could never be consistently profitable.”

Even the high-profile location at 14 South Second Street in the old Voodoo Lounge building wasn’t enough to bolster the long-term success of the axe-throwing venture.

Ax-Men Throw House publicly announced its decision to close in an April 12 post on its Facebook page.

“After much consideration, we have made the difficult decision to permanently close Axe-Men Throw House on April 21,” the company stated in the Facebook post. “We want to invite all our amazing customers to join us during our regular business hours until our last day. Enjoy one last throw with us!”

Sed decided not to renew its lease in the building. The ax-throwing venue opened in 2022 and its rental agreement had reached its final stages.

The start-up costs and ongoing regulatory challenges contributed to the decision.

“The permitting process with both Santa Clara County and the city of San Jose was very difficult,” Sed said. “We ran into a lot of hurdles. It became a question of whether it was worth it to put more money into it.”

On top of the local permitting difficulties, the sour business climate and byzantine regulatory requirements in California were also factors behind the upcoming closure of the ax-throwing venue.

Sed stated that she believes significant differences exist between the bureaucratic restrictions in California compared with Texas. Sed also operates an ax-throwing outlet in Houston.

“Of course, it’s harder to do business in California than in Texas,” Sed said. “Commercial real estate space costs more in California. There are a lot more restrictions. Everything is just more expensive in California.”

The company issued a heartfelt farewell in its public post on the Facebook platform.

“We appreciate each and every one of you who has supported us throughout the years,” Axe-Men Throw House stated in its Facebook post. “Let’s make some final memories together before we say goodbye.”

Another ax-throwing venue is slated to open, potentially by the end of the year, a few blocks away on the ground floor of the Paseo Building at 201 South Second Street.

Unofficial Logging is the name of this planned venue. The new ax-throwing venture will be located near Urban Putt, a miniature golf course venue that opened its doors in February and is drawing healthy crowds.

As for Axe-Men Throw House, the departure is a fresh blow to San Jose’s urban core, which is still battling to recuperate from the coronavirus-spawned economic maladies that still afflict downtown districts in the Bay Area and nationwide.

Despite the ongoing economic woes in San Jose’s urban heart, Sed regrets her venture didn’t become a long-term success story in the city’s downtown.

“I wish it had worked out,” Sed said. “San Jose is a great city.”

A Spokane Business is Running a Vendor Market to Support Local Small Businesses 

“So many businesses were suffering and needed an outlet and a venue to sell their products”, said the founder of the BeYOUtiful Local Market in Spokane, WA. 

BeYOUtiful Bath Bombs & More is a local business, operating out of the Northtown Mall in Spokane. The shop was founded by Jessie Veselka and has been open since 2018. When the Coronavirus pandemic caused lockdowns worldwide, many businesses were in danger of shutting down. Veselka and her husband decided that they wanted to help support other local small businesses, so during the spring of 2024 they started running the BeYOUtiful Local Market in the food court of the Northtown Mall.  

The market is held every weekend from November through April, which is the peak selling season for shopping malls. This is a place where small businesses could have increased exposure in an environment where people are out specifically to shop around. One of these small businesses is Renken Creations, founded by Ryan Renken.

Ryan and his wife have run their business for years but have experienced increased success since the market’s opening in 2021. Their business consists of trendy tumblers and shadowboxes, which happen to make perfect gifts around the holiday season.  

“Most people that we’re selling to, are coming into the mall blind [...] they’re finding things that they’d never thought to buy,” said Renken. 

The market is set in the food court, which is the center of the mall. This is great for the vendors, because this is the location where they will get the most raw exposure with the market being hard for shoppers to miss. The issue though lies within the stores who have occupied the mall for years.  

After browsing the market, I spoke with a few different workers from stores around the mall. Most of their opinions of the market were positive, and they even thanked the founders for bringing some traffic into the mall with many people coming in to shop at small businesses which they hadn’t seen before.  

The most interesting response though came from the workers at Bath and Body Works. Their store is located just across the walkway from the market, so they have a front row seat to the market, and they applauded the layout of the market as it allows for customers to seamlessly browse the market and surrounding stores.  

The main issue I heard when speaking to them was about the market’s decision to include live music this past holiday season. The store manager Jodi Bunnell said she thinks the idea of a market is fantastic for traffic, as well as supporting local businesses. But she said that in a store like Bath and Body Works, they are constantly connecting with customers near the front of the store, and the live music has made it difficult. If it’s difficult to hear in their store, it affects their ability to sell to customers and has raised comments from associates and customers. 

Stores who are already in the mall should not have to adjust the way they handle their business because of the market being there, but it seems that the mall is handling it in such a way that they can balance everything out so that all businesses can thrive together. The market is still relatively new to the mall, but with a few more adjustments, it seems like it will continue to be a bright spot for the mall going forward.

In order for parents to support their families and continue working, childcare providers are crucial. Choosing whether to put their children in daycare or stay at home with them throughout their formative years is a tough decision that many parents must make. While all options have advantages, not all families will profit from them. Many parents want to go on working in order to provide financial support for their family. But since child care is so costly and difficult to find, many people feel compelled to leave their jobs. It is possible that you may get the best deal if you choose Child care in Chatswood.

If there is good, reasonably priced childcare in the area, parents won't have to make that decision.

It also equips students with the abilities required for successful careers, positioning them for future success.

What impact did COVID-19 have on working parents?

Working parents have had to make some significant adaptations as a consequence of the 1.5-year global spread of the coronavirus outbreak. Due to the growing prevalence of remote work rules and the closure of several businesses, daycare facilities, and educational institutions, families are finding it increasingly difficult to find outside supervision for their children during the school day.

The COVID-19 pandemic severely hindered parents' capacity to acquire child care in three key locations.

We would want to discuss modifying our approach to child care. By 2020, almost half of all daycares had permanently closed, and the remainder were forced to reduce their hours of operation or stop completely due to capacity constraints and regulatory concerns. Parents were compelled to search for other child care options when they had difficulties finding quality child care services. In this case, choose Childcare in Artarmon would definitely be the wisest course of action.

Regarding guardians who want to stay at home

For those parents who have made the decision to stay at home with their children, there are a few important things to keep in mind.

Conclusion

The epidemic has caused many parents who were searching for jobs to give up. This is a result of the limited options available to individuals in the event of job loss or difficulty locating high-quality child care.
