Bike -- Historical Commentator FDR Set the Pace In a wide-ranging historical discussion, Bike talked about how the president's first hundred days was never an issue before President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who passed 76 laws in that period, many of which are still in force today. "While Biden has passed only seven, putting him on a par with President George W. Bush rather than FDR, he has nonetheless made significant

“To care for them who shall have borne the battle, and for their partners, and their orphans.”   War Statistics, Military.com US and allied service members are set to be out of Afghanistan by early to mid-July, well ahead of President Biden’s Sept. 11 deadline. ( NYT report ) Over 8,000 American service members are estimated to have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, with hundreds of thousands wounded in visible and invisible ways. Twenty years of war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Pakistan have cost American taxpayers over $6 trillion according to the Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs at Brown University. More than 800,000 people have died as a direct result of fighting.

Woodland Park, Colorado— Bob Boylan, author of Retirement: Your New Adventure! and 4 Ideas with Actionable Wisdom , was interviewed by Mark Bishop on Tucson Business RadioX. Since both books were released concurrently, Bishop wanted to discuss both after quizzing Boylan on his career teaching presentation skills to corporate execs and then as a renowned landscape photographer. Boylan set this table this way: "My presentation clients were middle to senior management of large corporations, and they defined me as a paradigm changer, saying I help people see things differently, so they can do things differently. This will help your listeners understand where I'm coming from."      The first book discussed was Retirement: Your New Adventure! , which Bishop found interesting as thoughts of stepping away from the radio mic have become more prevalent for him. Boylan explained that he wants retirees to "genuinely consider the ideas in the book to expand their horizons, to

Actually, the way Mark Stone put it was, “We’ll flush this one. We’ll see what we did wrong. There are a few areas that we were actually not bad at, but there’s a lot we need to improve. We’re fortunate to have two days in between games here, a little bit of rest, a little bit of recovery, regroup, and be ready for Wednesday.” Stone was attempting to sugarcoat the 7-1 drubbing that the VGK took at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche last night. Many hockey people, including myself, thought that yesterday’s game would be the easier to win of the first 2 games of Round 2. Vegas was riding a wave of emotion following a near-perfect performance in Game 7 vs. Minnesota. In addition, Colorado hadn’t played a game in 7 days, while Vegas has been in playoff mode for the last 14. By no means am I suggesting that any game in this 2nd round series will be easy, but the circumstances looked like this could have been the only soft spot. I could not have been more mistaken. Vegas looked like the

Businessman buried under crumpled pile of papers with a help sign A Weaker U.S. Dollar and a Stronger Chinese Yuan Bloomberg writer, John Authers, offers us this headline: “ Dollar May Be on Brink of Sustained Downtrend .” That’s bad news for the toy industry as he is also predicting a rise in the value of the Chinese Yuan. China produces 86% of the world’s toys, and the (hopefully) receding pandemic has slowed any manufacturing movement out of that country. Any hopes for India as an alternative source of goods were dashed, at least for now , by that country’s continuing decimation by coronavirus. That means that the relationship between the dollar and the yuan is pivotal to producers, retailers and consumers. An increase in the two countries relative currency rates means that that the actual cost of goods goes up. The impact of relative currency valuations is much more significant than a rise in the cost of plastic or cardboard. An increase in the value of, for example, plas

For Immediate Release: Dateline: Minneapolis , MN Happy Memorial Day! Every year I tell the story of a friend who honors Fallen Heroes every day. Michael Reagan is an internationally recognized artist who has assisted charities such as Seattle's Children's Hospital raise more than $10 million through his drawn and donated autographed celebrity portraits.  One day Michael got a request from a grieving widow. Her husband felt called to serve in the military shortly after 9/11. He died on the battlefield fighting the war on terrorism. She said she did not know if she could afford it, but would Michael consider drawing a portrait of her husband? Michael said yes. Further, he told her that there would be no charge. He says that as he drew this portrait, he knew that he would draw the portraits of every hero who lost his or her life fighting the war on terror. To date he has sent more than 6,250 portraits to the families of Fallen Heroes-- all free of charge.  As I visit

I have worked with a wide range of companies and have an excellent network of connections. Because of this experience, I know their procurement methodology toward suppliers. There are three primary methodologies: Build partnerships and establish multi-year procurement agreements. Most supplier partnerships develop from long-term relationships. Issue one-year contracts and rebid top spend annually. Switching up to 25% of purchasing volume of the supply base each year is typical. Rebidding every purchasing decision and treating every decision as a spot buy. The exceptions are commercial and commodity parts. With this information in hand, I completed an informal analysis of the client’s procurement methodology. I asked how they were faring with the current supply chain allocation and pricing pressures? If they are suffering from material shortages, delays, price increases, or the inability to secure a container to ship your international goods?  First, understand that everyo

Volume 4 | Number 5 | May 2021 Shortages -we're living them every day: stock-outs of our favorite food, the new gadget for the home office, or deficiencies that are impacting our manufacturing processes. Even if they are not directly affecting us, we certainly have heard about them on the news. STOCK-OUTS!! What's driving these shortages? As a manufacturer, distributor, or retail store, is there anything we can do about it, or are we just powerless to change the status quo? Here are a few of the root causes of these shortages: The COVID-19 pandemic caused unprecedented disruption to the global supply chain. In early 2020, the directive was to STOP production and deliveries. Instead, corporations focused on protecting their cash positions to ride out the pandemic. As more information became available, we learned that most of our consumption patterns had changed. The pandemic accelerated the inevitable move to online shopping by five to ten years and dramatically increased
