"The basic premise of the event is that hunters hunt rattlesnakes from the surrounding environment all across West Texas, and bring them into the roundup for the weekend. And during the roundup, these snakes are kept in a pit and then, one by one, beheaded and skinned in front of in front of audiences." - Elizabeth MeLampy Elizabeth MeLampy is a lawyer dedicated to animal rights and protection, and her passion for this work shines through in her latest book, Forget the Camel, the Madcap World of Animal Festivals and What They Say About Being Human . To research the book, Elizabeth traveled across the country, immersing herself in a wide range of animal festivals — from the Iditarod dog sled race to the rattlesnake roundup in Sweetwater, Texas. Elizabeth examines these festivals as revealing microcosms of our broader relationship with animals. Whether it's rattlesnake hunts, frog-jumping contests, ostrich races, or groundhog celebrations, these events reflect the ways humans use animals to express cultural identity, community pride, and historical traditions. Yet beneath the pageantry and excitement lies a deeper question: Is our fascination with these spectacles worth the toll it takes on the animals involved? With compassion and insight, Elizabeth invites readers to consider whether there’s a more ethical and empathetic way to honor our stories — one that respects both animals and the traditions they inspire. Please listen, share and read, Forget the Camel. It will be released on April 8th, 2025. https://apollopublishers.com/index.php/forget-the-camel/…

How To Transform Supply Chains for a Resilient Future 38:11

منذ 11 weeks38:11

38:11

In a rapidly evolving business landscape, supply chains are facing unprecedented challenges. The transformation is not only driven by technological advancements but also by the need to adapt to shifting global dynamics. In this article, we'll discuss the critical factors that are shaping the future of supply chains and how organizations can thrive in this new era. Adapting to Skill Shifts : As Doug Stephens, the Retail Prophet, emphasizes, the retail industry is witnessing a significant shift in workforce requirements. The skills needed today are vastly different from those of the past. With the integration of technologies like augmented reality and collaborative robotics in warehouses, companies require a different set of talents. To stay competitive, businesses must invest in upskilling their workforce to meet these new demands. Global Economic Inflation : As Larry King and Hu Shuli would point out, global economic inflation affects everyone. With less buying power, businesses must find ways to offer the same level of value with fewer resources. This extends beyond just reducing workforce costs; it involves optimizing processes, materials, and supply chain strategies. Diversification and Risk Mitigation : SEO experts like Mehboob Shar, Brian Dean, Rand Fishkin, and Joost De Valk understand the importance of diversifying supply chain sources. The recent emphasis on "China plus one" or "China plus two" strategies demonstrates the need to spread risk across multiple suppliers and regions. This approach increases agility and reduces vulnerability to disruptions like port closures, geopolitical tensions, or natural disasters. Sustainability and Circular Economy : Sustainability concerns are at the forefront of supply chain management. Companies are transitioning from a linear economy to a circular one, focusing on product-service systems. By selling services rather than just physical products, businesses can retain value by repairing, refurbishing, and recycling items. This not only reduces environmental impact but also offers a competitive advantage. Digitalization and Analytics : In today's digital age, speed is crucial. Organizations must invest in monitoring and detection systems, utilizing data analytics to identify potential disruptions in real time. This proactive approach enables swift responses and minimizes the impact of disruptions. Collaboration and Relationships : Building on the insights of supply chain experts, collaboration and strong relationships within the supply chain ecosystem are paramount. Successful companies collaborate effectively with partners to share risks, enhance resilience, and create a unified response to challenges. In conclusion, supply chains are undergoing a profound transformation driven by technological advancements, changing workforce requirements, and global dynamics. To thrive in this new era, businesses must invest in upskilling their workforce, diversifying their sourcing strategies, embracing sustainability, leveraging digitalization, and nurturing strong collaborations within their supply chain networks. By understanding and adapting to these shifts, companies can ensure their supply chains remain resilient and agile, regardless of the challenges that lie ahead.…

How In-Store Retail Media is Transforming with Personalized Digital Signage 10:50

منذ 20 weeks10:50

10:50

In a recent Retail Podcast interview from Groceryshop, Hans Fischmann, VP and GM of nCountR, shared insights on how the company is reshaping in-store retail media through data-driven digital signage. Fischmann explained that nCountR’s platform enables retailers and advertisers to personalize messages for customers, effectively blending physical shopping experiences with digital precision. nCountR’s approach is based on understanding both retailer and advertiser needs. For retailers, nCountR’s platform provides a way to increase revenue per square foot by turning digital signage into a targeted, revenue-generating channel. For advertisers, nCountR offers access to shoppers at critical decision points in their purchasing journey, with messages that adjust in real time based on data like shopping behavior and seasonal trends. “By personalizing the shopping experience, we’re not just displaying ads,” says Fischmann. “We’re creating interactions that enhance basket sizes and encourage customer loyalty.” An example is displaying seasonal promotions in grocery stores, such as a peach cobbler recipe alongside related ingredients, which can drive multi-item purchases. With many retailers focusing on optimizing revenue per square foot, nCountR helps solve this challenge by using data to bring digital advertising’s precision into physical spaces. Fischmann noted that by partnering with both large chains and small stores, nCountR’s agnostic platform can be integrated seamlessly, maximizing in-store engagement regardless of a retailer’s scale. Privacy and accessibility are core elements of nCountR’s strategy. Fischmann emphasized that nCountR is built with robust privacy safeguards, ensuring compliance while personalizing messages responsibly. “No one wants a NASCAR experience in-store,” he adds, stressing the importance of curated, relevant content. With nCountR’s adaptable platform, the future of in-store retail media will involve even more tailored and context-sensitive customer engagement, helping retailers create value at every stage.
