The main reason for this is the limited cash. You will need some money to translate your marketing strategies into action.

Small businesses might not have the budget to accomplish every grand and costly marketing strategy that they have planned. Hence, it is necessary to say yes to ideas that would cost less and yield the best results. Why cost-effective marketing works?

The Introduction Everyone seems to be talking about it, many swear by its healing powers, and quite a few of the states in the US have legalized the 'wonder drug' known as CBD. So, before we talk about its various benefits, let's see if you understand what CBD is? CBD is short for cannabidiol - a natural chemical substance derived from the Cannabis Sativa plant. Nefariously known as marijuana, so it's perceived to be little more than a drug that can give you nothing more than a high. Nothing could be further than the truth, though. Yes, CBD is marijuana, it can give you a high, but it has many more medicinal qualities that can cure terminal diseases such as cancer, Parkinson's Disease, and Alzheimer's. Unlike its cousin THC tetrahydrocannabinol, CBD is not psychoactive. Thus, you're likely to feel a calm and relaxed mood instead of euphoria. Now that you've... Read more →

August 18, 2020 | Judicial Watch In a blow to George Soros’ leftwing initiatives, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that foreign affiliates of his Open Society Foundations (OSF) are not protected by the Constitution and therefore must abide by a congressionally mandated anti-prostitution pledge to receive federal funding. Under a 2003 law called United States Leadership Against HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria Act the U.S. spends tens of billions of dollars to combat AIDS globally and a chunk of the cash flows into OSF coffers. Under the measure organizations that receive American taxpayer dollars to fight HIV/AIDS abroad must adopt policies opposing sex trafficking and prostitution. Leftist groups legally challenged the rule years ago, claiming that it violated their First Amendment right to free speech. In 2013 the Supreme Court agreed, ruling that the policy requirement infringed on the American groups’ constitutionally protected freedom of speech. The decision only applies... Read more →

WASHINGTON – The Transportation Security Administration collected $926,030.44 in unclaimed money that passengers left behind at airport security checkpoints during Fiscal Year 2019, including $18,899.09 in foreign currency. The money consisted of loose change and paper currency that passengers removed from their pockets and left behind in a bin during the security screening process at TSA checkpoints. The amount found during FY19, which ended September 30, 2019, marked a decrease in the amount of unclaimed money collected in FY18 when $960,105.49 was left behind. When passengers approach the checkpoint, all items from pockets must be removed, including wallets and loose change. TSA recommends that travelers place those items directly into their carry-on bags so that they will not accidentally leave anything behind in a bin. The top five airports where passengers have left the most money behind were: John F. Kennedy International Airport - $98,110 San Francisco International Airport -... Read more →

California, Illinois, New Jersey, Texas and Pennsylvania account for more than half of the unfunded liability By Bethany Blankley | The Center Square Marc Levine, the former chairman of the Illinois State Board of Investment, expects the federal government will be forced to intervene on public pensions. Courtesy of Barron's (The Center Square) – Only one in five of the 143 largest statewide public retirement systems in the U.S. are resilient, a new analysis published by the bipartisan nonprofit Equable Institute shows. Public sector funding peaked in 2001, with nearly 3 out of 4 statewide plans 90 percent funded or better. By 2020, one in five statewide plans have a “resilient funded” status. The report, “State of Pensions 2020,” analyzes trends in public pension funding, investments, contributions, cash flow and maturation of retirement systems that had more than $1 billion in assets through 2019. The current estimated funded ratio for... Read more →

DNREC lifted a recreational swimming advisory for Rehoboth Beach at Rehoboth Avenue Friday afternoon after water quality tests taken Thursday showed bacteria levels had returned below the advisory level. The second advisory of the year for Rehoboth Beach at the Rehoboth Avenue location had been issued Thursday, Aug. 20, based on results from Wednesday’s regularly scheduled sampling by DNREC’s Recreational Water Program. Ocean beach swimming advisories based on bacteria levels usually end after a day or so. DNREC water quality experts say the elevated level of bacteria that caused both Rehoboth advisories are most likely associated with heavy rainfall, which most recently fell in the area Wednesday. These bacteria originate in the gut of warm-blooded animals, such as wildlife or domestic pets – and indicator bacteria from these sources washes into near-shore waters during periods of heavy rainfall. The current advisory status and history of test results for monitored recreational... Read more →

(August 22, 2020)--The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has implemented drastic changes to the way people interact with each other, suppliers, businesses, and consumers within the workplace. The pandemic has been a catalyst in demonstrating digitalization's effectiveness throughout every aspect of the workplace. From operations, production, human interactions, COVID-19 has made necessary the digitization of many of our otherwise in-person interactions.
