Students embark on their 14-mile cycle from the school to DFDS North Shields before their trip to Amsterdam

The journey will begin on March 27th with the children and their teachers cycling their bikes the 14-mile route from West Denton Primary school to the DFDS terminal in North shields with the aim that their trip has as little environmental impact as possible. Prior to the ferry journey to Amsterdam, the children will have the opportunity to meet the crew and the Captain of the ship and enjoy food that will be cooked for them from Amsterdam. This unique experience has been made possible with the help of DFDS, who are the sponsors of the first part of the trip.

Robert Bately, Commercial Head onboard King Seaways said: “We’re delighted to be welcoming this school group onboard to experience life at sea before spending time in a school in The Netherlands. Once our customers step onboard their experience begins and it is a pleasure to contribute to the cultural experiences of the local school children.”

https://www.westdenton.newcastle.sch.uk/

West Denton Primary school’s trip is part of the UK government’s Turing scheme which aims to provide funding for post Brexit international opportunities in education.

Mick MingStones, Head Teacher at WDPS said: “We wanted to give WDPS students the opportunity to compare their own lifestyles with those of Dutch counterparts. The Dutch lifestyle is outdoors-focused and cycling is part of their daily routine. So, by showing our children how making healthy choices can impact positively on all aspects of a person’s life, we hope to be able to encourage our students to make even more positive choices when they return to Newcastle.”

In preparation for their trip, the pupils were treated to a talk with Olympian and Commonwealth Gold Medallist in Cycling Joe Waugh.

The aim of the trip is to allow year five and six students to experience first-hand a different lifestyle to their own and to contribute to their international understanding and holistic growth. Learning and working side by side with Dutch pupils will widen WDPS students’ understanding of opportunities to study, travel, work and live in Holland and other European countries. WDPS is hoping to forge a symbiotic long-term international relationship between the two schools and also to create an online ‘Life Manual’ which the children will contribute to and use on their life journeys.

Sidekick Training Officially Launches Sidekick, its Learning Engagement Platform

Sidekick Training officially launched its Learning Engagement Platform, Sidekick last week. Sidekick’s mission is to remove the complexities from live, virtual learning and empower trainers with the tools to elevate the live, learning experience for distributed audiences.

Sidekick Training officially launched its Learning Engagement Platform, Sidekick, in a virtual product showcase last month. The platform was developed by Enable Education, a professional services organization with over 15 years of experience specializing in building technology-enabled learning experiences for corporate clients.

Every year companies generate in excess of $13,000 in training waste per employee because of learner disengagement. As organizations have been forced to pivot to live, remote training due to pandemic restrictions, this number has increased substantially.

With many clients seeking solutions to address learner disengagement of their distributed workforces, Sidekick recognized a gap in the e-learning industry. No viable technology solutions existed to help trainers manage the complexity of live, virtual training.

“As remote training for distributed workforces has become the norm, a gap has developed that has left trainers feeling ill-prepared and preoccupied with the new complexities of live virtual training. Sidekick’s mission is to remove these complexities so trainers can focus on what their expertise is, instruction” – Ben Zimmer, CEO Sidekick Training

Sidekick is designed to empower trainers with the tools to deliver effective training to distributed workforces. Only a few technology solutions address learner engagement for live, virtual training like Sidekick does.

“Sidekick’s most powerful aspect lies in its tools that enable trainers to adjust their training approach when learning engagement wanes.”

Through Sidekick, trainers are equipped with a collection of engagement features they can leverage to optimize learner engagement in any live, virtual training scenario.” – Kareem Khaled, Tech Lead, Sidekick Training

Sidekick Training joined the ISV Partner Program in 2021 ​​and is built using Zoom’s developer platform tools. There is no requirement to have a Zoom account to use Sidekick Training.

“We are excited to have Sidekick Training join our ISV Partner Program and address a unique challenge that many trainers face The ISV partnership program was designed to support companies like Sidekick Training. Our goal is to empower them to leverage Zoom’s leading infrastructure so they can develop tailored solutions for unique needs. We look forward to supporting Sidekick Training as they provide innovative solutions for training.” – Paul Magnaghi, Global Leader ISV Partner Program at Zoom

Sidekick is expected to go live with its hard launch in April. Currently the platform is available for free trial to users for a 3-month period as part of its Take the Sidekick Challenge! Campaign. Along with unlimited access to Sidekick’s full feature suite, trial users will also have the opportunity to schedule a 30-minute meeting with a Learning Experience Designer, who will provide recommendations on training strategy and how best to leverage Sidekick to full effect.

To learn more about the trial user promotion and the Take the Sidekick Challenge! Campaign, visit Sidekick’s trial user sign up page.

New Book Uncovers Truths of Islam and Provides Evidence of Discrepancies

In ‘The Unveiling Origin of Mecca’ Mohammed Alal Khan objectively details Muslim religion from the beginning to the present

Author Mohammed Alal Khan has published “The Unveiling Origin of Mecca: Rise of Ancient Islam in North Arabia,” which educates readers and gives them an accurate understanding of the tenets of Islam. The author explains how the earth was created in six days and details what was created during each day. Khan accredits all his information to the Quran.

The audience is informed that, during the time of Jared, son of Mahalalel, Pagan worship began to spread. It continued to spread so greatly that a very little amount of people worshiped the “true God.” The author emphasizes the difference between the real and fake Ka’ba, a building in the center of Islam’s most important mosque, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Throughout the book, Khan narrates several stories from the bible and details the geographical locations of many ancient and significant places and routes in the Islamic world, including The King’s Highway, a biblical trading route that existed east of the Jordan River and the Dead Sea.

“By reading this book, Muslims will find clarity in their history and religion and will be able to follow the right path of worship,” Khan said. “The truth always comes to light, and it is revealed in these pages.”

Khan maintains a tone of objectivity throughout the book. Even though he is a Muslim scholar, he provides information from several sources besides Islamic. Ultimately, “The Unveiling Origin of Mecca” is a detailed exposition of the origin, history and tenets of Islam that touches on all the relevant aspects of the religion.

“The Unveiling Origin of Mecca: Rise of Ancient Islam in North Arabia”

MarketingProfs Announces its Giving Online Courses Away at No Cost to Any B2B Marketer Who Wants to Continue Their Education

MarketingProfs is the go-to resource for B2B Marketing Education for 700k+ Marketers at all stages of their marketing careers. MarketingProfs helps organizations provide continuing education to their teams through best-in-class online education and real-time expert-led trainings in the areas of strategy, branding, customer experience, demand generation, sales enablement, and measurements & analytics.

As part of its #NoMarketerLeftBehind initiative, MarketingProfs, a global leader in B2B marketing education, training, and consulting services, announced today that it’s offering one online course of choice to every marketer who wants to continue their ongoing B2B Marketing education.

For one day only on Feb. 24, Marketers can go to https://bit.ly/3LFgOZ7 and choose from any course in the MarketingProfs course catalog, which features courses in Demand Generation, SEO, Branding & Positioning, Strategy, Analytics and more.

Our recent State of B2B Marketing Training research shows that only 19% of marketers feel “very prepared” for their futures in marketing. We’re on a mission to change that by providing no-cost education and resources to marketers who want to keep their skill set honed to best practices and strategies—and feel prepared for both today’s B2B market, as well as tomorrow’s.

MarketingProfs’ recent research also shows that “very prepared” marketers are far more likely to feel energized about their jobs, feel more connected to their teams, and be more confident in their ability to help their companies meet overall organizational goals. In short, marketers who feel “very prepared,” aren’t nearly as likely to be looking for new jobs (a whopping ⅔ of marketers are currently looking for new opportunities during The Great Resignation).

To claim a free course on Feb. 24, marketers can simply go to https://bit.ly/3LFgOZ7, select the course they’d like to take, and register—with no fee or strings attached. They’ll have an entire year to complete the course.

The #1 challenge for marketers looking to learn something new isn’t lack of time. It’s that most courses and educational opportunities they’ve experienced are too theory-focused. MarketingProfs online courses are based on its 20+ years of first-hand experience navigating the B2B Marketplace, where we’ve helped over 700,000 marketers to uplevel their skills through actionable training and real-world application to get measurable results.

We look forward to welcoming B2B Marketers to our Open House, Thursday, Feb. 24, 2022.

Fimi Market Inc. Announces Fee Structure For Upcoming NFT Marketplace

Sellers who elect to receive payment in the native FIMI token will enjoy 20% back on their sales

Fimi Market Inc., an emerging tech company developing a multi-chain NFT (Non-Fungible Token) marketplace scheduled for release this quarter is announcing its fee structure for artists and creatives.

Currently, competitors in the market charge a minimum of 2.5% for all sales. Fimi Market Inc. will have a standard rate sales fee of 2.25%. “We intend to be competitive on different fronts,” said Miguel Adwin, CEO of Fimi Market Inc. “Offering multi-chain minting options is only one facet of why we believe we will thrive in this space. Reducing transaction fees for sellers helps onboard new people while allowing holders of the utility token to vote on which artist or collection gets featured is something unique to Fimi,” he continued.

The $FIMI utility token is native to the marketplace and provides holders with benefits while using the platform. Sellers who elect to receive $FIMI as payment for their sales will also enjoy 20% of their sales fees returned to them at the end of each month payable in the $FIMI token. This amount is calculated at the time of the individual sale further reducing the sales fee to an industry low 1.8%.

An open marketplace for buyers and sellers from all corners of the globe, the Fimi NFT Marketplace intends to be a platform that showcases talent and celebrates diversity in art through culture. “There are incredible artists around the world who either don’t have access to this space or are unaware of how to participate. We not only want to give them a platform to show and sell their works, but help them offramp and be able to use the funds they’ve acquired from their sales,” added Adwin.

Fimi Market Inc. has recruited a number of artists to showcase and sell their work on the Fimi NFT Marketplace ahead of launch. Artists who sign with the marketplace are called Genesis Artists. Announcements of the signings have been made steadily via the company’s official Twitter account and include renowned Jamaican filmmaker Ras Kassa, South African nature photographer and videographer Steven Brooks who has worked with Disney, National Geographic, Netflix and the BBC, and incredible visual and digital artists from around the world.

Fimi NFT Marketplace launches later this quarter and plans on announcing more milestones that help artists thrive in the NFT space. The FIMI utility token is available on the Stellar Decentralized Exchange (SDEX) and BitMart.

SAFETY MANAGER TRAINING FROM DISPATCH42 SCHOOL

Dispatch 42 School launches a new training course – Safety Manager

Just half a year ago, Dispatch42 launched the Freight Dispatcher Training platform – “Dispatch42 School”, a school where everyone can learn the profession of a truck dispatcher in a matter of a few months and start working right away. Both the idea and the truck dispatcher training have been well-received by online users that today 400 students from different parts of the world are studying at Dispatch42 School, and their number is constantly growing.

As far as is known, the demand for a product always leads to its modification and development. Today, the school is launching a new training course and invites everyone to learn another profitable profession from the world of logistics – Safety Manager

Who is a Safety Manager?

The US logistics market is a massive industry with an average turnover of more than $797 billion. Not only is this a constantly growing infrastructure, a network of highways and roads that expand every year, but also a mass of employees who work in this field. 

The entire system, or rather the work of freight carriers in USA, is under the jurisdiction of the US Department of Transportation. Under it there is a department – the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Administration (FMCSA), the government agency that regulates the operation of vehicles and freight transportation in the country.

The goal of this department is to reduce the number of accidents and fatalities on US roads. How? By means of rules that are uniform for all freight carriers, which they all must obey. Essentially, it is an enormous set of laws, details and indicators. Both the business owner and the driver are obliged to comply with them.

The Safety Managers are the specialists reviewing these laws and regulations. They research and then implement them into the company policy. Collaborating with a carrier company, Safety Managers develop a working system within their own firm so that it meets the requirements of the state and earns a good rating score.

They, much like the law, are interested in having only professionals who comply with the traffic management system in the United States to sit behind the wheel of the trucks. In part, it can be called Safety Managers the “guardian angels” of the firm, because without them and their involvement the company will not be able to obtain permission for cargo transportation, recruit personnel… or properly operate, in general.

Why is a Safety Manager necessary for every company in US?

The matter is quite simple and complex at the same time. The reason being that the rules and procedures of cargo transportation in the United States are very different from those in Europe or in the post-Soviet countries. USA is a country of high demands, and the process of cargo transportation is built in such a way that everyone is obliged to obey them. Anyone who does not follow suit will fall out of the system, as they are considered a potentially dangerous cargo carrier capable of provoking road accidents.

Moreover, each company has its own public profile where all violations are recorded: the number of accidents, violations in the driver’s mode of operation, ineffective vehicle maintenance, and so on. As soon as the indicator of violations rises to the so-called “alert level” or reaches the “intervention threshold”, the firm comes under the supervision of an inspector of the FMCSA. The agency automatically receives a notification that a company with an unfavorable rating is “at risk”, which means regular check-ups from an inspector, fines and even the risk that a company will be closed altogether for non-compliance with the law. According to the FMCSA logic, such a company has bad management, which means its drivers are a danger to others.

Safety Managers are professionals who give a business owner all the necessary recommendations in order to avoid these dire consequences. They also negotiate with representatives of the Federal Department, fill out all the necessary paperwork, and in short, they are the embodiment of the link between the law and the trucker.

Why is the work of a Safety Manager valued so much?

This kind of specialist offers valuable advice to any business owner on how to follow the law and successfully build a positively high rating for the company. And as is known, company with good reputation make more money in United States.

What is the core of the Safety Manager course from Dispatch42 School? 

The course consists of 16 different modules that provide students with the opportunity to explore the entire profession from start to finish. The first two modules fully explain what the US trucking business is and what role Safety Managers play in it. Furthermore, according to the idea of the course author Diana Bulgaru, there is a gradual immersion in the work of Safety, all the details and pitfalls, theory and practice.

Diana Bulgaru worked at Dispatch42 for more than 5 years, founded her own Safety department and worked with various freight carriers, both in the United States and Europe, as well as in the CIS countries. Today, the number of her subordinates in the Dispatch42 department reaches 50 people, the department itself works with 250 companies from different countries, and 1300 drivers turn to Dispatch42 for different services every day.

Thus, the Dispatch42 company has collected the valuable experience of Safety Manager which it has accumulated over 5 years, packaged it into a course, and invites everyone to study it today.

How is the course structured? 

In the Safety Manager course from Dispatch42, possible to find everything about this profession, starting with filling out the documentation, listings of sites useful to students later at work, opening up a firm, and ending with drivers’ work schedule, monitoring their professional performance, and interacting with the FMCSA the right way. Discussed separately are the topics of vehicle maintenance, tax policy and even accounting elements, since in many companies Safety Managers combine multiple functions, including the function of an accountant.

Since Safety Manager is a rather practical profession than a theoretical one, a lot of time in the course is devoted not only to practical assignments, but also to real case situations, stories and problems that students may face at work.

What benefits do students of Dispatch42 School get?

By acquiring the Safety Manager course, they receive a full-fledged profession, both theory and practice, which will then make it possible to earn good income after completing their studies. Essentially, they invest finances in knowledge that will pay off for them in the first months of active work in the field of Safety, and then bring profits.

Moreover, during the course of training, the students are assigned a mentor and a curator. These teachers help them learn every step of the way, hold online conferences once a week and discuss news and various topics related to Safety Management.

After completing the course, student at Dispatch42 School receives an engaging and highly demanded profession, a position that is applicable and well needed by any shipping company in the USA and Canada, as well as a number of benefits that the profession itself offers:

– ability to work remotely on the US and Canadian markets; 

– ability to be self-employed, with clients who need Safety services; 

– ability to make a good income. On average, a beginner Safety Manager can earn about $2000 a month in the CIS and up to 7 thousand dollars in USA;

– ability to self-regulate schedule and work from home. 

Also, as an added bonus, Dispatch42 School offers employment with the company to the most prospective students who have shown their capabilities and established themselves as good specialists.

And most importantly: since the US freight market annually contributes 5 to 8 percent to America’s GDP, it can be safely assumed that the Safety Manager profession, as well as the work of freight carriers in the country, will always be in demand, even under the conditions of Covid or other unfavorable factors.

Communications Skills are More Important than Ever in 2022

Many New Year’s Resolutions are to become better speakers and communicators. Brenden Kumarasamy guides the audience at Snackable Solutions on how to begin.

People have been socially distanced, and often socially isolated over the past two years. A common concern is that interpersonal skills are worsening among individuals, and in particular at the workplace. In a remote work environment, good communications are essential to holding an organization together. This includes a combination of emotional intelligence, and the ability to communicate effectively. According to expert communicator Brenden Kumarasamy, people must exercise their communications skills every day to maintain effectiveness. Snackable Solutions collaborated with Kumarasamy to present 3 daily public speaking exercises for success.

According to Kumarasamy, this daily exercise includes three parts: The random word exercise, mirroring, and structuring presentations like jigsaw puzzles. His methodology is designed to help people to speak effectively, to think on their feet when speaking, and to build rapport with their audiences.

Communications is About Connecting with Other People

According to Oxford Languages, communication is “the imparting or exchanging of information or news.” Therefore, good communicators are effective at understanding and distributing information to others. This means that a speaker must not just state the facts, but they must do so in a way that will inspire others to listen and retain information. This is where a combination of emotional intelligence and hard skills are necessary. Through words, people are able to convey information, ideas, and feelings. This transfer of information allows people to understand one another, and to develop stronger relationships.

According to Gallop, the cost of replacing an employee can range from “one-half to two times the employee’s annual salary — and that’s a conservative estimate.” These costs, which include attracting, retaining, and training a new employee can add up quickly. Many of these employees are lost due to poor communications between management and staff. Using Kumarasamy’s techniques, organizational leaders can expect to retain more employees amid “The Great Resignation.”
