The new headquarters represents DFINITY’s second foothold in Zurich, Switzerland, and serves as a testament to the growth and evolution of the organization.

The Dfinity Foundation, a not-for-profit organization and major contributor to the Internet Computer – the world’s most powerful general-purpose blockchain and Web3 platform – today announces an expansion within Switzerland, with the launch of a new Zurich-based office. The uniquely positioned office in Zurich joins DFINITY’s other offices and research centers in Palo Alto, San Francisco, Shanghai, and Zurich.

Jan Camenisch, CTO at DFINITY and Director of the DFINITY Zurich Research Lab, said: “Since its inception in 2016, DFINTY has been and will continue to invest into the Zurich ecosystem. In addition to accommodating our growing Zurich team, the new office provides a physical space for our world-leading researchers and engineers in Europe to gather, collaborate, and share knowledge. The new space will enable the team to accelerate its continuously groundbreaking contributions to the Internet Computer”

Josh Drake, COO at DFINITY Foundation, added that the growth of DFINITY’s operations is timely: “Our rapid pace of development and onboarding has been a major factor in our decision to expand our regional operations. DFINITY now boasts offices in four regions across three continents, serving as an indication of our momentum this year.”

“We’re proud to be contributing towards the development of one of the most active and diverse blockchain ecosystems in the industry,” Drake continued. “To make sure that we keep up with the demand from developers and end-users, we continue to make significant investments into our scalable infrastructure, skills, automation, and internationalization of operations.”

DFINITY today is recognized as a European hub for cryptocurrency R&D and a leading computer science R&D organization in Zurich, in league with Google and IBM. Some 200 world-renowned cryptographers, distributed systems engineers, and programming language experts – many of whom are alumni of Google, IBM, and Consensys – work towards designing a blockchain that is incentivized to foster a better, more decentralized internet. From infrastructure and payment systems to DeFi platforms and NFT marketplaces, the Internet Computer’s mission is to ease and quicken the functionality and digital transformation of businesses.

Since its genesis in May 2021, the Internet Computer has seen rapid growth across the board. The community has deployed more than 16,000 canister smart contracts to the blockchain (making it one of the blockchains with most smart contracts). The internet computer has witnessed over 2.8 million transactions, and nearly half a million individual wallets have been created.

ERP Expert, Shawn Windle, Examines the ERP Strategies Associated With Mergers & Acquisitions

Shawn Windle, ERP Advisor to CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, and Private Equity

On Thursday, March 3, The ERP Advisor Podcast hosted Founder and Managing Principal of ERP Advisors Group Shawn Windle to discuss the ERP strategies associated with mergers and acquisitions.

Watch the full webinar here.

Shawn Windle examined the strategic impact ERPs play in the world of mergers and acquisitions. Shawn indicated that at the heart of acquisitions, “They [Private Equity] are really buying the organization for how the business operates, the brand name, the products they sell in the market, the sales channels that they have, and all of the intellectual property that that company has developed.” He further examines the idea stating, “An efficient ERP can be the foundation of such a business. Software is vital to business operations, therefore, potential investors may second guess acquiring an organization that has an outdated system. An outdated system is a major financial burden to investors.” Alternatively, Mergers come with significant obstacles that company leaders must mediate on best to facilitate companies coming together. Mr. Windle went on to specify that, “Sometimes, keeping the ERP system of the main or parent company is the least disruptive route for the new entity to take; however, at other times it is best to start from scratch with a new system to ensure a compromise is reached that benefits all parties involved.”

Watch the complete interview here.

The full conference call is available as a podcast on Apple PodcastsSpotify, and other major podcast providers.

One Way Drivers, Dealers and Shop Owners Can Save Money: Premium Used Tires

Prices are up on almost everything, especially for anyone who drives, sells or repairs cars. One way to alleviate financial burdens caused by skyrocketing gas prices, supply chain issues and overall inflation is with premium used tires from Champtires.

“Relying on used tires can save you a considerable amount of money off increasingly high new tire prices,” said Brad Rea, president and founder of Champtires, one of the largest sellers of used tires in the U.S. “And these aren’t the used tires you may be imagining – piled up high outside of a random building on the side of the road. We carry all the major brands from Bridgestone to Yokohama and everything in between, and our tires have a lot of tread life left in them.”

To illustrate the savings potential, one new Continental ProContact TX 102 H tire in size 225/65-17 sells for about $150 per tire. At Champtires, an almost new version with 8/32 tread costs $69.95 per tire and the 7/32 tread tire is priced at $57.48 per tire.

Champtires is also not facing supply chain issues right now.

“Luckily, we are still able to source really great tires right now. Ninety percent of our inventory has 7/32 tread or above, and we’re adding hundreds of tires in every brand every day,” Rea said.

High quality used tires are perfect when one, two three or all four tires on a vehicle need to be replaced. Every tire that enters a Champtires’ warehouse goes through a three-step inspection process. Free FedEx shipping is included on all website orders to the continental U.S.

Japanese Company Floods US Market With Traditional Foods.

Japan’s top food exporter, Hakushukuya, has taken its market higher after launching new products targeting the US market. 

The latest product is also in line with the company’s 2022 marketing goals. The organization plans to venture into the international markets and increase the visibility of Japanese products in the global market. 

The company’s move was arrived at after a thorough market research exercise carried out by the company’s marketing team in collaboration with external market researchers. 

The latest products that were recently launched include the Hakusyukuya Samgyetang herbal kit, which is used for cooking chicken soup. 

The Samgyetang is an exceptional food that has been used in Korea for centuries as medicine. The kit is a simple combination of most ingredients that one will need to make authentic Samgyetang. 

The raw materials include wolfberry, which is well known for blood circulation and immune function regulation, the jujube known for eliminating swelling, anemia, and constipation, ginseng known for recovery from fatigue, mung beans with detoxification effects. 

Others are chestnut for improvement of immune function deterioration, glutinous brown rice, and sun-dried salt, which is rich in iron and potassium. 

To prepare the meat, one needs 600 g of chicken meat that family and friends can enjoy, as they will experience a great flavor of Korea in no time. 

It is a healthy and delicious dish that is recommended not only for nourishing tonics but also for those interested in beauty and health.

The second product that has hit the market from Hakushukuya is the almond jujube roll that is best taken when one is very busy for its energy-boosting abilities. 

Almond is described as a health nut, which puts almonds into the center of dried jujube without seeds—then sliced them thickly.

It is rich in iron, potassium, vitamins, and other nutrients essential for beauty and health. The sweetness of this snack will give much satisfaction even to children and pregnant women. 

Most importantly the raw materials are grown in natural soil with minimal chemicals, hence safe for human consumption without any side effect. 

Usually, the National Agricultural Cooperative Federation and other specialized companies, which only produce raw materials meeting the company’s standards, supply Hakushukuya with jujube.

The Top 10 Small Business Marketing Mistakes – Choosing a Digital Marketing Firm, Website and Content Creation

The blog discusses the details of online marketing, content creation and the importance of and how to choose the right digital marketing firm for a business.

SayWhat Consulting, LLC recently released part 4 of the 10 part blog series labeled “The Top 10 Small Business Marketing Mistakes.” Part 4 covers the intricacies of digital marketing including the importance of choosing a digital marketing firm, common mistakes most business owners make during that process and detailed information in reference to content marketing for your website. Properly vetting digital marketing firms is paramount to the long-term online success of businesses.

Business owners do not realize the lasting negative effects a digital marketing firm can have on your rankings, search engine reputation (if search engines trust your website) along with the role they play on client generation and retention. The importance of content creation is also discussed with simple content hacks making it much easier for business owners to create fresh and unique content for their website with ease.

Part 1 of the 10 part blog series discussed the importance of tracking all of your marketing along with truly understanding what marketing efforts are producing results so you are spending your marketing dollars wisely. Part 2 of the series covered in detail the importance for small businesses to understand how to not only generate leads but also best practices in nurturing and converting them. Part 3 focused on creating a strategic marketing budget with the understanding that a well thought out marketing budget gives your company direction, purpose and a strategic advantage over your competition. Parts 4, 5 and 6 of this series will cover the details a business owner needs to succeed online with search engine optimization, pay per click advertising, social media marketing, reputation management and more.

“Digital Marketing Firms have the distinct advantage of being able to sell you something you are not knowledgeable about.” says David Phillips, CEO and Founder of SayWhat Consulting “This makes it quite simple to sell you a dream that is not possible or realistic – knowing you will not realize it until possibly months or years after you choose them as a vendor. Without thoroughly vetting your digital marketing firm you are taking a significant risk – literally putting the future of your online marketing endeavors in the hands of a company you know little about.” For example, if their SEO methods involved ‘black hat techniques’ like link farming – your website would be penalized and it would have significant long-term damages to your company and take months and possibly years to fully recover from such an avoidable mistake.

Large and small business owners often overlook the importance of generating unique content for their digital marketing efforts. Original high-quality content is important for your long-term growth online and maintaining your high rankings on Google. This recent blog post includes considerations that business owners should weigh and some ‘efficiency hacks’ used in the past making this tedious process a bit easier. Marketing your website is a long-term investment – content for your website is also a long-term investment. Creating a strategic plan to develop unique and interesting content is smart and can be extremely cost effective if you are able to set aside 5 minutes per day or 35 minutes a week.

“Finding the right digital marketing firm sounds much easier than it is,” notes Phillips “the average company we talk to goes through 4-5 digital marketing firms prior to finding the right one costing the business thousands in website design fees, lost opportunity, time and the cost of rebuilding a website that will actually work for your business.”

SayWhat Consulting assists business owners with finding the right digital marketing firm which includes finding a list of possible companies, vetting them, interviewing them and negotiating contractual terms on your behalf as well as managing them for you. This is all part of the Business Owner Consulting Program. They also offer a free online marketing audit (for any business) if you currently have a website and are unsure how well it is performing – it is simple to sign up for at https://saywt.com/online-marketing-audit.

Buying a trailer isn’t a small investment, even when purchasing the basic model.

With highly experienced and friendly associates and exemplarily skilled professionals, the company delivers its promise of quality design from start to finish. Their success stories in custom trailer service cover states, including Florida, California, New York, Maine, Texas, and Arizona.

The brand also believes that when it comes to expanding or growing a trailer business, financing should not be a problem for its customers. Therefore, while remaining customer-focused, the company has a network of direct consumer lenders, business lease, and financing brokers to serve the customer’s needs.

Apart from financing, the company also publishes a compilation of videos, assessments, and relevant resources that aid its customers in deciding on an optimal choice. With a driven sales team that understands every feature, specification, and benefit of different models, designs, and virtual tours, their mission is to empower customers with a comprehensive product review for the ultimate buying decision.

Nankai Pleats Pleated Company Ventures Into Cleaning Cloths For Eyeglasses And Smartphones

Nankai Pleats Pleated Company has launched another brand of cleaning cloths for eyeglasses and mobile phone screens from its latest list of growing brands. 

The new brand is part of the company’s larger strategy to promote the development of private brands and original products. 

In its renewed energy to get a share in the international market, the company has been very keen on venturing into the untapped industries that are equally profitable. 

The Nankai products are now available for export from Japan to the United States and many other countries across the world. 

Top in the list of the new brand is the microfiber origami-animal glasses cloth, which comes in the shape of a giraffe, designed to wipe dirt from glasses, smartphones, etc.

The cloth is made using the pleating technology that uses the heat processing properties of fibres to prevent the creases from coming out. Using this advanced technology, the company created a novel idea with a “fun” shape: the Peti Peto. 

It’s a soft 100% polyester square cloth with intricate fold lines and can be easily used by placing it in the palm and bouncing it around, and it will immediately return to its original folded state.

It can be carried conveniently in the pocket or bag, or placed on the desk in the office and it will capture people’s attention. It looks like origami with a Japanese touch and makes a great gift.

Second in the list is the crane-shaped memory pleated fabric that equally serves to clean dirt surfaces and eyeglasses. 

It comes with a polyester square cloth that gives it a soft touch making it appropriate for use in cleaning delicate surfaces such as eyeglasses. 

Besides, it can be used along with other cleaning agents such as spirit that can be used to clean delicate surfaces. 

Also, the unique crane-shape gives it a unique appearance when carried either in a bag or when placed on the table. 

It looks like origami with a Japanese touch and makes a great gift.

Cosmic Cat Acquires UK Distribution for Multi-Award winning US Doc “Not Going Quietly”

Acclaimed US documentary NOT GOING QUIETLY has been acquired by Glasgow based distributor Cosmic Cat ahead of its UK premiere at Glasgow Film Festival 22. The film, directed by Nicholas Bruckman and produced by Bruckman and Amanda Roddy through production company People’s Television, follows the inspirational campaign of Ady Barkan, whose life is upended when he is diagnosed with ALS (Motor Neurone Disease). From grassroots activism, to a national movement that leads all the way to Washington D.C., Ady is catapulted to fame when he confronts a powerful senator on the damage being done to himself and millions of Americans by brutal government healthcare reforms.

The UK premiere of the SXSW Audience Award winner and IDA nominee will take place at GFF22 on Wednesday 9th of March, where director Nicholas Bruckman and Executive Producer and star of The West Wing Bradley Whitford are set to appear virtually for a special Q&A event.

The film will then be released in select cinemas across the UK from the 18th March.

“I’m thrilled to finally bring Not Going Quietly to audiences in the UK with the passionate team at Cosmic Cat, and to hold our UK premiere at the prestigious Glasgow Film Festival,” shared Bruckman. “While Ady Barkan’s rallying cry is for healthcare justice and democracy in the U.S., his resilience, humor, and hope for a better world are all universal – and I can’t wait to bring his story across the pond.”

“We are so delighted that we have been able to bring this beautiful, life-affirming documentary to the Glasgow Film Festival and to UK cinemas,” added Ged Fitzsimmons. “Ady Barkan is a national hero in the US and will undoubtedly be received as a hero by audiences in the UK. Not Going Quietly is an inspirational, real life story of grassroots activism and triumph of human spirit in the face of adversity. To those in the US, it is a wake up call to the reality of privatised health care. In the UK, I hope that Ady’s story serves as a reminder of the fragile and sacred nature of the NHS and of the power of community activism.”

Key Info:

  • 9th March 2022: UK Premiere – GFF22 with Nicholas Bruckman and Bradley Whitford
  • 18th March 2022: Limited theatrical release in selected UK cinemas.
