Title: Mummers and Music

Time: 47 minutes

Locations: Bay Roberts; Harbour Grace; Codroy Valley

Story: Mummers & Murder; ‘Twas the Night After Christmas

Guest: Carolina East

Listen:

About The Episode:

Part One: Mummers & Murder

Newfoundland has a lot of interesting traditions but few are as celebrated as mummering.

Mummering is a Christmas tradition that dates back hundreds of years. It came to Newfoundland from England and Ireland with the first settlers. In it’s best known form, it involves costumed people visiting house-to-house during the 12 days of Christmas.  Once invited inside, the host tries to guess the mummer's identity. Refreshments are served and fun is had by all.

This sort of mummering is entertainment, but it wasn’t always fun for everyone. For some people, especially children, mummers were scary. They looked odd and behaved strangely. Mostly, the fear was unwaranted

In the 1800s mummering was altogether different. Mummers used to celebrate outdoors and could be found roaming the streets. There are many instances of mummers taking advantage of their anonymity to settle scores.

In one instance, there was a murder.

Part Two: Twas The Night After Christmas

In this segment we take a look at the lighter side of mummering with the Newfoundland Mummer Story Twas The Night After Christmas.

It tells the story of a grandmother who is *usually* very good at guessing the identity of mummers until one fateful Boxing Day night when she meets her match.

Part Three: A Chat With Carolina East

Carolina East has made a name for herself across the country, not only as as an impressive singer but as talented songwriter. She’s making music inspired by an eclectic tapestry of influences; from soul, to country, to pop.

She competed in the Sirius XM Top of the Country competition as one of eight semi-finalists. In July 2021, Carolina released a full-length album Soaked in Whisky. It’s a polished collection of songs about love, happiness, and loss.

Her songs are honest, vulnerable, and. always relatable.

Carolina joined me to talk about making music, her Christmas album Home for the Holidays, and how covering Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin’’ changed her life.

Part Four: Monstrous Things

The season, I’ve been capping off each episode with a segment I call Monstrous Things. It features tales of a Newfoundland sea monster sightings reported in the mainstream media.

This episode offers the story of a ‘monster’ seen in the Codroy Valley area around Christmas, 1951. The sighting was described in the January 5th, 1952 edition of the Evening Telegram under the headline “Report Monster Destroying Nets.”

It is a known fact that happy employees lead to an increase in productivity. That is why companies worldwide keep finding ways to keep motivation levels high. Holiday gifting is rather popular, and companies often wonder what gifts to offer their employees and clients. A corporate gift basket may contain a combination of related products and can be a practical choice.

The flexibility of adding different times and customizing the gift basket adds to the popularity. Let us tell you 10 reasons why nowadays gift baskets are such crucial corporate gifts.

What does a gift basket consist of

Before moving further, let us understand what a gift basket hamper actually means. You can add anything to a gift basket. That means you can understand what your employees would like. Then just add similar products to the basket, and the gift is ready. Plus, these baskets can be conveniently wrapped and presented in a beautiful manner.

The flexibility of adding things

The first reason why people choose gift baskets is that they can accommodate anything. You can modify the gift basket and incorporate any item in it. For instance, food products, cosmetics, beverages, chocolates, etc., are just some popular choices. You can customize the basket as per your need. If you are adding a beverage, you can change the shape of the inner tray. There are immense possibilities that you can experiment with and get a fantastic gift hamper in return.

Perfect for gifting food

Maybe you want to gift food items to your employees. In normal circumstances doing that would not be possible. However, with corporate gift hampers, you can do that comfortably. Plus, you can add different themes to your gift basket. Some common ones that you can pick are Italian themes, popcorn, wine with candles, etc.

You could also make a luxurious gift basket with chocolates, perfumes, and lotions. The choices are endless, and the durability of baskets ensures minimal spoilage.

Cost-effective

When companies have to order gifts in bulk, they look for savings. Since the number of baskets required is more, they want a fair deal. If they go about giving all the products separately, the costs escalate. However, by ordering gift baskets, the pricing cuts down substantially. So the entire gifting process does not become a huge strain on your budget. Plus the employees get a variety of products instead of one, which is a big benefit.

Personalized

The corporate gift baskets you choose can be personalized as per the employee’s tastes. For example, you can give separate gift baskets to female and male employees. A senior team could get a different package as per the kind of interests they have. If you know someone who doesn’t drink, you can remove the wine bottle from his gift basket. Also, if certain employees have dietary restrictions, that also you could keep them in mind. On the whole, you can prepare a gift basket that is useful for all the employees and matches their tastes too.

Ease of gifting

Supposing you have created a gift basket of cosmetics. In that case, you can keep a few of them handy to give someone whenever the occasion arises. Like on birthdays and anniversaries, you can quickly take out one from your closet and offer it to the employee. This makes such gift baskets a rather convenient gift option.

If the employees have been working rather hard, surprise them with a hamper once the project is over. You just have to order a few extra gift baskets to ensure your employees remain pleased with your company.

A thoughtful gift

Gifting is always a controversial choice to make. Most employees would never like what their employers offer them. However, if employers choose corporate gift luxury, it shows their thoughtfulness in purchasing. It reflects the effort that the company has made in giving everybody something they would use. Employees are satisfied and feel appreciated after this gesture made by the company.

Adds to the happiness quotient

Who does not want a cheerful workplace? Yet employees feel dissatisfied if you keep giving the same old boring sweet boxes or cutlery. They want something unique when it comes to their gifts. Customized gift baskets bring that smile back to their faces. They know the basket holds something relevant and luxurious. The entire environment of your office changes as the employees feel happy enough after seeing the surprise. Not to forget that this happiness would translate in the form of work results.

Bulk delivery at the office

If you are hard-pressed for time, getting those gifts delivered can be burdensome. But if you choose a gift basket India can be delivered in bulk to your office. From there handing over the gift to each person becomes super easy. Moreover, by doing so, you can disclose the surprise that you have planned. Plus, the personalized touch of giving the gift makes your employees appreciate your efforts.

Wrapping up woes

An essential aspect of a gift is its wrapping up. Especially when it comes to bulk purchases, getting all of them wrapped up becomes a difficult task. But if you choose a gift basket, then they are automatically wrapped up in an attractive way. You do not have to put in any effort to decorate them further. In fact, if you want, you can also customize the packing as per the person you will give the gift to.

Exciting to receive a gift basket

All said and done; a gift basket is fun to open. People are anxious to know what is inside the basket. That is a major reason why companies are looking for corporate gift wholesale services to handle this job. They can explore different items so their employees are satisfied and work harder.

Industrial Automation Solutions for Seamless Production

The future of manufacturing is in smart factories! The days of manual work are over, and so is the need for large amounts of inefficient and costly equipment. Industrial Automation Solutions equip manufacturers to reduce waste, increase productivity and reduce costs. ATE provides cutting-edge solutions to help you transition into the era of smart manufacturing. Manufacturing has changed dramatically over the last few decades. Many manufacturers are embracing lean manufacturing techniques and SMART factories, made possible by Industrial Automation solutions to improve efficiency and productivity. As a result of these changes, companies have been able to unlock new levels of profitability while simultaneously reducing operating costs.

Lean Manufacturing and SMART Factories

Lean manufacturing and smart factories are two terms that are often used interchangeably. However, they represent different aspects of the same philosophy in manufacturing. A lean factory is an organisation that adopts a set of best practices to reduce waste and improve efficiency while keeping costs down by eliminating non-value-added steps or activities such as:

Waiting on raw materials

Waiting on parts or equipment before they're needed

Waiting for workers to get back from breaks or lunchtime

Enterprise Asset Management

Enterprise asset management (EAM) applies information technology, including cloud-based applications and analytics, to manage assets across an enterprise. EAM solutions offer organisations a way to improve product quality, reduce costs and increase productivity by automating the collection and analysis of data related to their manufacturing processes.

This type of software helps companies take advantage of opportunities in their supply chains that can be streamlined through better management practices such as:

Tracking parts usage across multiple facilities across different geographies

Monitoring inventory levels so they can be replenished when needed

Managing transportation logistics between suppliers & distributors

Manufacturing Intelligence

Manufacturing intelligence is the process of collecting, analysing, and applying information to improve manufacturing processes. Industrial Automation solutions help manufacturers gain greater insight into their business operations by providing real-time data on operations and performance. The resulting insights can help drive increased efficiency and productivity in production facilities across industries such as automotive manufacturing, medical device manufacturing, electronics assembly and more.

Industrial Internet of Things

The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) refers to a new way of thinking about manufacturing that takes advantage of the convergence between traditional industrial systems and information technology. This can be seen in many ways:

The use of connected sensors, actuators and devices within an industrial plant or system.

The ability to collect data from these sensors and act on them remotely by sending commands through wireless networks or cloud platforms.

The IIoT connects people with machines at all levels in an organisation's value chain, from suppliers through distributors to end users, and provides visibility into processes across entire production lines or facilities. Hence, they're more efficient.

Real-Time Operational Intelligence

Real-time operational intelligence is the ability to collect, process and analyse data in real time. This enables manufacturers to make informed decisions about their operations based on the current state of their manufacturing environment.

In a typical industrial automation solution, real-time data collection and processing involves many different steps:

Data acquisition from sensors that measure temperature, pressure or humidity

Processing of raw data into meaningful information

Using this information to make decisions that improve productivity or ensure safety (e.g., if there's a fire)

Sharing this information with other systems so they can make similar decisions independently

Smart Factories Are the Future of Manufacturing!

Smart factories with Industrial Automation Solutions are the next step in the evolution of manufacturing. They will enable manufacturers to unlock new levels of productivity and efficiency, helping them compete in global markets. 

Conclusion

The future of manufacturing is in smart factories! The days of manual work are over, and so is the need for large amounts of inefficient and costly equipment. Industrial Automation Solutions equip manufacturers to reduce waste, increase productivity and reduce costs. ATE provides cutting-edge solutions to help you transition into the era of smart manufacturing.
