Rolls-Royce of Honey

Leave a reply

Although car manufacturing has been temporarily suspended, production of another unique, distinctly British treasure is running at record levels at the Home of Rolls-Royce: the world’s most exclusive honey.

In their third full season of production, the dedicated 250,000-strong workforce in the company’s Apiary are set, once again, to exceed their 2020 volume targets for the ‘Rolls-Royce of Honey’. Having come through the winter in excellent health, Rolls-Royce’s English Honey Bees are currently emerging from their hives and foraging on the half-a-million trees, shrubs and wildflowers flourishing across the 42-acre Rolls‑Royce site, plus the eight acres of sedum plants growing on the manufacturing plant’s ‘living roof’ – the largest of its kind in the UK. The more adventurous bees make sorties into the surrounding Goodwood Estate, whose 12,000 acres of West Sussex countryside are among the glories of the South Downs National Park.

Established in 2017, the Goodwood Apiary comprises six traditional, English-crafted, wooden beehives, each bearing a polished stainless steel nameplate handcrafted in the company’s Bespoke Workshop. Five are named after cars in the Rolls-Royce product family – ‘Phantom’, ‘Wraith’, ‘Ghost’, ‘Dawn’ and ‘Cullinan’ – while the sixth, the ‘Spirit of Ecstasy’, celebrates the marque’s illustrious mascot.

Like the 2,000 employees at the Home of Rolls-Royce, the bees are responsible for producing a rare and desirable product. At the end of each season, ‘The Rolls-Royce of Honey’ is meticulously hand‑processed by local specialists and served to guests of the marque, including customers commissioning their motor cars in the company’s Atelier suite.

The Apiary project is Rolls-Royce Motor Cars’ response to the real and present threat facing Britain’s Honey Bee population. Honey Bees are the principal pollinators of numerous tree and plant species, including many of the fruit and vegetable crops that are crucial to the local agricultural economy around the Home of Rolls-Royce. However, a shortage of suitable forage, primarily caused by habitat loss, has put their numbers under great and growing pressure in recent years.

The South Downs National Park, on the doorstep of the Home of Rolls-Royce, mirrors this national trend. Chalk downland, which supports pollinators including honey bees, bumblebees and the Adonis blue butterfly, now accounts for just four per cent of the National Park’s total area, in fragmented pockets that make it harder for pollinators to move through the landscape.

Through providential timing, the creation of the Apiary gave an early boost to a new South Downs National Park Trust campaign to address this critical problem. The Bee Lines initiative supports farmers and landowners in creating new flower-rich ‘corridors’ to link areas of habitat and help bees and other pollinator species to thrive. Residents and businesses within the National Park boundaries are also being encouraged to get involved through initiatives such as planting wildflowers in gardens and grounds.

“The Apiary further underlines our commitment to the environment, which informs everything we do at Goodwood,” says Richard Carter, Director of Global Communications at Rolls-Royce Motor Cars. “Our sustainable buildings, thermal ponds, rainwater management systems and wildfowl refuge have already made the Home of Rolls-Royce at Goodwood one of the UK’s most eco-friendly manufacturing facilities. Through this project, which taps into the biodiversity of our site, including our huge living roof, we’re making an important contribution to conserving Britain’s vital bee population.”

Moms everywhere can rejoice at the return of larger bags to the style scene because they’ll hold whatever you need. For any traveler, they’ll work well as an overnight bag.

Clutches and Small Purses

For minimalist style gurus or one day or evening out, you don’t need as much space. Use small leather bags and clutch purses to put a swanky spin on your usual look.

Perhaps, they will help you to find a place for an internship or a part-time job. You can also look through vacancies on the Internet and respond to the job openings you are interested in.

Pay Attention to Self-Development Every Day

Use opportunities to educate outside the classroom if you want to broaden your knowledge horizons.

Be Curious

Train your brain every day. Technologies are continually advancing, and you need to keep up with them.

Can you do it for me?”

Why Use the Internet to Find Loans?

Leave a reply

Loans are something that many of us are looking for. Whether it’s because we want to buy a new car, get a mortgage, or just pay off some debt, it’s pretty important to see what you can find. The traditional way to get one used to be going to the bank – but that has changed as time has gone on.

Nowadays, more and more people are turning to the internet in order to ensure that they can get the loans that they need. Here are some of the main reasons that the internet is a great option if you’re looking for a good loan.

More often than not, you will be able to get instant approval (or close to it) when you are applying for loans online, They often have some sort of instant approval process based on your credit score and other pertinent information that you can provide to them.

Faster

For example, if you’re looking at online payday advance loans with Personal Money Network, you can apply for it and get it in the same day. Now, payday advances don’t typically require a credit check, so it’ll go much more quickly. You can find lots of loans that provide this same sort of quick response if you look online.

Convenience

Who doesn’t want to be able to research anything and everything about potential loans from the comfort of their homes? Instead of carving hours and days out so that you can connect with people about loan options, you can look online whenever you have the chance to do so.

This is also a big deal if you’re someone that works strange hours, which makes it hard for you to get somewhere that you can actually talk with a lender face to face. The internet is always open and, while you may have to wait until the next business day to get a response, you will still be able to take care of things more conveniently.

Lastly, it’s convenient for those of us who have families or just don’t have the time to go out and do that work. It takes a lot of time to really figure out which loans are best and to compare information, so the ability to do it from home can be really useful.

More Choices

The internet has a ton of choices, many of which would not typically be found in your geographic area. You may be able to tap into lenders from around the country, some of which can provide you with rates based on a variety of factors. Having that sort of reach can really help you with negotiating and ensuring that you’ve got what you need.

Always be sure to do your research though – it’s easier to avoid shady lenders that way. You want to deep dive into every company that you’re considering and talk to others who have used their services in the past. That will give you a better idea of what to expect and you can rest assured that you’re not going to be dealing with a company that you can’t trust.

Better Interest Rates

Interest rates are one of the biggest comparison points when you’re trying to ensure that you are getting the very best loans for your efforts. The better your interest rate is, the easier it will be for you to pay it off within a reasonable amount of time. And, if you’re only going to physical branches to seek out the info that you need about different loans, then you may be missing out on things.

Look for financial institutions that are willing to work with you so that you’re going to be able to find a solid interest rate. It’s not necessarily easy to compare your options using Sambla’s money borrowing calculator, but as you explore, you will find that there are a lot of different options that you can work with. And, some lenders are going to be a lot easier for you to communicate with and work with than others, which can be a big part of the process.

Look at what you can learn and see what there is to get your hands on. If you research well and figure out what it is that is best for your purposes, you’re sure to find something that works in your favor. Figure out what it is that you want from a loan and see what others have to say. In the long run, the extra research can be a really helpful part of the process of searching for a great loan from Sambla Sweden.

Poised to be one of the best new artists of 2020, New Zealand’s indie pop sensation BENEE has become one of the most-listened to artists in the world this month as her latest track reaches over 200 million in total streams and over 1 million in global consumption.

How fitness clubs are using social media to engage members

Leave a reply

By Michaela Auger – TrainAway

There’s no doubt that a brand’s social media strategy can make or break it. And in recent years, we’ve seen that social media is an important part of representing a business and communicating to different audiences.

Most people get their news and updates through social media platforms. In fact, active social media users account for 2.89 billion people.

For fitness clubs, social media is an invaluable and influential tool to reach audiences – especially during difficult times like the current COVID-19 outbreak, when people cannot go to the gym in-person.

In response, these are a few of the methods fitness clubs are adopting to engage members via social media.

How gyms and health clubs use social media to establish their online brand

Sharing daily workouts

In the fitness world, people love workout videos. They like to have a general idea of what they will be doing before they commit to joining a club on a full-time basis. For example, ELBGYM, who are located in Germany – are offering tailored workouts on their Instagram feed, encouraging their members to stay active within their daily lives. It’s especially important for fitness clubs to offer a different workout each day to appeal to all their members. Non-members can see and enjoy what ElbGym has to offer, and potentially sign-up once the fitness club reopens.

Sharing recipes for healthy eating

Eating right isn’t easy, and people can feel overwhelmed when trying to find healthy recipes that taste good and are easy to make. Some fitness clubs, such as Neoness – located in France – are sharing their favourite healthy recipes on Instagram to motivate members to eat nutritious meals.
Whether it’s a superfood salad, the perfect pre-workout smoothie or a guilt-free snack, members definitely appreciate the fitness clubs doing their homework for them and helping plan daily meals.

Motivating members with quotes

At some point, everyone hits a wall in their fitness regime. This is where gyms like EasyGym help their members to climb that wall, with a little motivation via an inspirational quote. Inspiring words on Facebook and Instagram push users to get out of bed and complete a workout. Plus, this content is extremely sharable, so followers repost the content, the gym gets a boost in brand awareness and maybe even new recruits.

Using hashtags to boost reach

Hashtags are a great way to grow fitness clubs’ social reach and engage with members or potential members. By putting using hashtags (#) users can see a stream of content related to the phrase and spend time exploring the topic online.

For example, PureGym uses trending hashtags on their Twitter and Instagram posts around popular fitness topics. If #YogoFlow is trending, PureGym posts about specific yoga exercises to add value to the conversation. Many social media users post using trending hashtags, so fitness club owners like Puregym are sure to make their content stand out and not get lost in the noise.

Overall, social media is a crucial part of any business, but it doesn’t have to be stressful to manage. Take the first step, create a profile, and start engaging with your members.

Over the years, BDI has built its reputation on building office and media furniture designed to complement the way you live — and look good doing it.

Still, there’s something to be said for getting away from the kitchen table. That’s where a c-table like BDI’s Milo can come in handy. Though small in size, these tables are big on versatility.

Weighing only 10 pounds, Milo is easy to pick up and move. It effortlessly slides up to or under seating and is always right by your side whenever you need it.

At the end of the day, Milo plays as hard as it works, serving as the perfect side table to hold remote controls and libations while you binge the latest must-see television series.

BALANCING SENTIMENTAL VALUE WITH DECLUTTERING AND ORGANIZING

Leave a reply

Now that we are sheltering at home, many of us will start to tackle house related projects, including decluttering and organizing. But, letting go of things isn’t always easy. How much stuff do you have in your house that you keep around for purely sentimental reasons? Like that old t-shirt from a favorite vacation or the set of silverware that belonged to your grandparents?

While we all want to hold on to special memories, the impulse to “hold on to things” can quickly lead to clutter and mess if left unchecked. It’s important to balance the need to save with the need to streamline and get organized.

Admittedly, it can feel hard to have to give up precious family possessions. If you’re struggling with belongings of sentimental value while trying to declutter your home, try these tips:

1. CREATE A KEEPSAKE STRATEGY

If your sentimental belongings are starting to take over rooms in your home, it may be time to create a keepsake strategy and evaluate each item.

For example, if you recently lost a close family member, it can be tempting to want to hold on to so many of their possessions. But the truth is, even if your grandmother was the best knitter in the world, there’s no need for you to hold on to every blanket and sweater she made.

Divide your sentimental items into categories, and make a point to only keep a few from each category. For all your sentimental items, ask yourself:

Why is this specific item sentimental? If it’s because of the person you got it from, consider if you can remember the person and the special memory without this particular item.
Is this an item you’ll use?
Can you give it to someone who would get more use and value out of it?

Hopefully with this keepsake strategy, you’ll hold on to only a manageable number of sentimental belongings.

2. SAVE IT TO THE CLOUD

Rather than keeping large bulky physical items, can you take a photo and save it to the cloud? New research demonstrates that taking and keeping a digital photo can help you both preserve a memory (sometimes even longer than a physical item which may fade or grow moldy) while also decluttering your home.

You may even prefer to take digital photos of old family albums, as the digital photos will last longer without taking up space in your house.

3. KEEP THINGS IN THE FAMILY

While it may feel difficult to have to give up a precious family heirloom, ask yourself if it’s time to pass it on to someone else in the family who can now get better use from it.

If it feels right, you might even want to give items to close friends, including them in the circle of your “wider family.” It might be the best way to keep family heirlooms and traditions going into the future.

4. DO GOOD

If there’s no one you know who might be able to use your old sentimental items, maybe you can give them away to someone in need.

While it can be hard to part with something you love, the knowledge that someone else can need it and appreciate it even more might help you feel better about your choice to give things away.

5. FOCUS ON THE FUTURE

While you certainly want to never forget where you came from, you also want to make sure you’re not stuck in the past.

It can be soothing and healing to spend some time in nostalgia. But don’t lose sight of your useful future goal to declutter and organize your home. Streamlining your possessions will help everyone in your home live calmly and more efficiently, and that’s definitely a worthwhile reason to declutter.

The Recent Rise of Online Design Work

Leave a reply

In the few short years since it has become possible, online work has risen from niche means of employment to a broad and viable choice. With the capacity for far greater convenience than traditional methods, improving technology and working infrastructure is continuously opening new doors for newcomers and established home workers alike. In America alone, around 4.3 million people work from home at least half the time, and this number is only rising.

One of the major obstacles in this form of work, which we want to address in this article, is how people tend to pigeonhole the opportunities that online work represents. Looking through the lens of online casinos and studying the individual components lets us see just how many jobs are available from this one sphere, with similar concepts applying to many other online industries.

Online Casino Games

Visiting a modern online casino immediately gives the impression of substantial variety. When looking through slots and casino to play games, for example, customers are faced with hundreds of entries to choose from. These include a wide range of themes, graphic and music styles, and bonus games. These elements require contributions from many individuals with highly specialized skills, all of which can be employed from home. Games will require designers, programmers, and security experts. Similarly, experts will be required for designing, maintaining, and advertising the website, alongside professionals who can assure everything is operating up the required standards.

Dozens of even hundreds of people are needed to contribute to one specialized website like an online casino. From working within the website directly to consulting on important manners or creating the software and services on which games rely – enormous human contributions are necessary. These jobs are possible to do without ever stepping outside the door.

Preparing an Environment and Building Skills

It should be noted, for the uninitiated, that getting involved in distance work can require more than just sitting at a computer. This is a pitfall that many new workers fall into, in their belief that working from home inherently means a more casual experience. Just as with any other type of job or career, a professional and dedicated environment is key for making progress and staying focussed.

This begins, as any standard career would, with resumes, interviews, and sometimes taking lesser jobs to build experience for something more long-term. It’s also the case where a learning-curve can put workers on a slow start, but again getting used to the change will usually only take a matter of weeks. This is not too different from traditional jobs.

Whether you do choose to get involved in the rapidly expanding area of online casinos or any other type of online work or not, it is important to know that the tools and resources to help you are established and vast. Offering the potential for great flexibility, convenience, and challenges, there is a reason why this sector of the workforce is growing by the day. If you find the traditional system isn’t for you, then consider investigating the online model, and you might find your place alongside millions of others.

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Super Bowl champion and FOX NFL analyst, Terry Bradshaw, along with Sony Music Entertainment, will debut a new single, “Quarantine Crazy,” at midnight EST/9 p.m. PST on Thursday, April 23.

The football star and iconic entertainer has channeled his musical talents into the song, which will be available on iTunes, Spotify, Pandora and other outlets. Co-written by country singer Jimmy Yeary, “Quarantine Crazy” playfully chronicles the plight of the current “safer-at-home” quarantine mandates.

“After weeks of staying home and social distancing, I think we can all relate to feeling a bit ‘Quarantine Crazy’,” said Bradshaw. “However, it is more important than ever to remain home and stay safe. We will all get on the other side of this soon, but in the meantime, I hope this song brings a smile to your faces.”

A portion of the proceeds received from the sale of the song will support local food banks in Oklahoma and Texas.

Bradshaw, who has a long history in music and entertainment, was signed to a 31-show residency with “The Terry Bradshaw Show” at Luxor Hotel and Casino for 2020. New dates for his Las Vegas show have not yet been announced. His first foray into music, a cover of Hank William’s classic “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry,” landed him on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1976. He also hit the charts with his follow up single, “The Last Word in Lonesome is Me.” Bradshaw has released two albums in his career, toured with gospel artists, The Isaacs, and participated in FOX’s singing competition, “The Masked Singer.”
