La-Z-Boy released their earnings report during their call where CEO, Melinda Whittington, stated to their investors, "We reported consolidated delivered sales of $500 million, up 5% versus our most recent pre-pandemic third quarter and down 13% versus prior year." This announcement shows the company's progress in light of market fluctuations caused by the pandemic. On evaluating the earnings report, it was found that La-Z-Boy has experienced a 5% increase in total consolidated delivered sales, indicating an attempt at recovery from the effects of the pandemic, compared to the pre-pandemic third quarter. Concurrently, there was an improvement in the non-GAAP gross margin by 140 basis points across all segments, suggesting enhancements in operational efficacy. A look at the company's strategies and activities reveals La-Z-Boy's Century Vision. This strategy aims to broaden their brand reach and expand the Furniture Galleries network, signaling a focus on strategic growth initiatives. The company's strategic investments in acquisitions and campaigns, along with brand optimization, represent an effort towards strengthening the business, improving brand awareness, and bolstering sales growth. La-Z-Boy acknowledges challenges and opportunities in meeting changing consumer behavior, caused by a slowdown in the furniture and home furnishings industry due to various factors like house turnover, interest rates, and affordability. This is validated by metrics such as a decrease in comparable store sales and weather-impacted traffic trends. For future strategies and investments, La-Z-Boy is continuing with its Century Vision growth strategy, which outlines an expansion of the Furniture Galleries network, emphasis on brand promotion, and optimizing businesses like Joybird. Additionally, there are plans for enhancing operational efficiency through supply chain optimization and plant productivity improvements. Paired with a capital allocation strategy that aims to deliver shareholder value via dividend payments and share buybacks, La-Z-Boy's direction is clear. In conclusion, based on the information provided during the earnings call, La-Z-Boy is navigating challenging market conditions by focusing on strategic initiatives, improving operational efficiency, reinforcing its brand, adapting to consumer trends, and developing long-term growth strategies. However, the projected outcomes are contingent on multiple market forces, indicating there are no guaranteed outcomes. For a more comprehensive understanding of potential growth, it's essential to consider other market factors and risks.

The Victorians didn't actually travel to the moon. But they were the first people, observes my guest Iwan Morus, to think that travel to the Moon was not only possible, but that “their science already possessed – or would soon possess – the means of getting there.” This confidence was based on the cascades of “new technologies, new ways of making knowledge and new visions about the future came together during the nineteenth century to create a new kind of world.” In an important sense, then, it was indeed the Victorians who took us to the moon. Iwan Rhys Morus is professor of history at Aberystwyth University in Aberystwyth, Wales. Among his recent books are Michael Faraday and the Electrical Century (20127) and Nikola Tesla and the Electrical Future (2019); his most recent book is How the Victorians Took Us to the Moon.  For Further Investigation For a related conversations, see Episode 251 on the history of technology, from the early modern world to the present; and Episode 258 with Simon Heffer on the early Victorian era as the "pursuit of perfection" The Public Domain Review offers "A 19th Century Vision of the year 2000" An excellent website devoted to the Wright brothers and their achievement Collections at the Oxford History of Science Museum "On Verticality": a blog about "the innate human need to leave the surface of the earth"

De que forma se desenvolveu a Indústria Cultural, importante conceito para Adorno e Horkheimer, e como ela exerce seu poder nas sociedades? Podemos relacionar videogame e Indústria Cultural? Como disse Nick Dyer-Witheford and Greig de Peuter, seriam os videogames a principal forma de entretenimento do século XXI e isso os colocariam como principal objeto de dominação ideológica no capitalismo? Para falar sobre videogame e Indústria Cultural recebemos o Doutor em História pela UERJ Raphael Silva Fagundes, que possui uma pesquisa focada na retórica, historiografia e poder. Raphael também escreve para o Le Monde Diplomatique Brasil e a Revista Fórum. Siga o Holodeck no Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Twitch, YouTube e entre em nosso grupo de Discord do Regras do Jogo.

In our final installment of the Hayek Program’s 2019 Future of Work Conference, we hear from Elizabeth Rhodes, research director for the Basic Income Project at Y Combinator Research. In her talk, she shares her research experiences in projects relating to a guaranteed basic income, including research on how she believes recent economic growth has been unevenly distributed and how intergenerational mobility has decreased. She also focuses on how the nature of modern jobs has changed and what can be done to address these changes while also addressing deficiencies in the current social safety net.

Where is engineering going? Revolutions in knowledge, new challenges such as those raised by the digital revolution and the environmental crisis call for innovation in engineering education and professional practice. This is not the first time that engineering has had to adapt. Given jointly by Sophie Mougard and Antoine Picon, the lecture will begin by placing the current turning point within the broader history of the evolution of engineering. Following this generic introduction, the presenters will focus on the École nationale des ponts et chaussées, the oldest civil engineering school in the world, and on its initiatives to address present-day issues. How do we train future engineers in a world in which their role, responsibilities and status are rapidly evolving? No definitive answers can be given to such questions, but the case of the École des Ponts et Chaussées may have some pointers which are valid for engineering education everywhere.

Robert Poole joins City Journal contributing editor Nicole Gelinas to discuss Poole’s new book, Rethinking America's Highways: a 21st-Century Vision for Better Infrastructure. Americans spend untold hours every year sitting in traffic. And despite billions of taxpayer dollars spent by transportation agencies, our nation's roads, tunnels, guardrails, and bridges are in serious disrepair. According to transportation expert Poole, traffic jams and infrastructure deterioration are inevitable outcomes of American infrastructure policymaking, which is overly politicized and prone to short-term thinking. Robert Poole, an MIT-trained engineer, is co-founder and director of transportation policy at the Reason Foundation, where he has advised numerous federal and state transportation agencies.

ne of the nation’s leading experts on infrastructure policy, Robert Poole, will discuss his new book, Rethinking America’s Highways: A 21st-Century Vision for Better Infrastructure. The book examines our current structure of highway ownership and financing and describes why major reforms are needed. Poole argues for a new model that treats highways in a more commercial manner, akin to public utilities. Motorists, the economy, and the environment would all gain if highway investments were driven more by market signals than by politics, he finds.With increased highway congestion and large financing gaps on the horizon, Poole provides critical input to America’s debate over infrastructure. Poole is an MIT-trained engineer who has advised numerous administrations, the Federal Highway Administration, and various state highway agencies on infrastructure issues.Dr. Jonathan Gifford will provide comments on Poole’s book. Gifford has a PhD in civil engineering, specializing in transportation, and he is an expert on the Interstate Highway System and infrastructure finance. He is director of the George Mason University (GMU) Center for Transportation Public-Private Partnership Policy, as well as a professor in GMU’s Schar School of Policy and Government.

Today's episode of Economics Detective Radio features a conversation with Robert Poole of the Reason Foundation. Robert is the author of Rethinking America's Highways: A 21st-Century Vision for Better Infrastructure, a book on how to fix America's infrastructure woes by changing the way roadways are funded: Americans spend hours every day sitting in traffic. And the roads they idle on are often rough and potholed, their exits, tunnels, guardrails, and bridges in terrible disrepair. According to transportation expert Robert Poole, this congestion and deterioration are outcomes of the way America provides its highways. Our twentieth-century model overly politicizes highway investment decisions, short-changing maintenance and often investing in projects whose costs exceed their benefits. We discuss this book, as well as Robert's recent controversial piece in Reason, "Stop Trying to Get Workers Out of Their Cars." I challenge him on the issue of upzoning and we discuss the some of the necessary conditions for a successful implementation of mass transit. Robert argues that mass transit works best in cities with a high concentration of jobs in a central business district. Without a single concentrated area that many thousands of people want to commute to and from, a mass transit system often can't get the necessary ridership to justify its cost.  

Famed economist Milton Friedman called America's highway system a “socialist enterprise” and he was right. America's roads are in desperate need of repair and the federal government is clearly incapable of maintaining them efficiently. Drivers pay tens of billions of dollars in gasoline taxes every year and our infrastructure problems only seem to get worse. Instead of taxpayers forking over trillions of dollars in new legislation to address the problem, why don't we trust in private sector solutions, both to ease congestion on our roads and to finance their ongoing maintenance through robust competition? Why not allow private companies to run and care for our roads in the model of utilities like power, water, and gas companies? There are some perils with this approach, as we'll see, but the concept is worthy of serious consideration. No one understands the fruitlessness of the status quo or thinks about practical solutions to these problems more than Bob Poole, founder and director of transportation policy at the Reason Foundation. He has advised nearly every president on transportation issues over the past 35 years and is also the author of “Rethinking America's Highways: A 21st Century Vision for Better Infrastructure.” It's an issue that impacts all of us every day. Join us as explore solutions to end the political and literal gridlock.
