Fort Bragg City Council Hears Annual Reports on Crime Statistics, Homeless Programs, and Stray Animals The April 14th City Council meeting was lightly attended. It's not clear if an error on the agenda itself was partially to blame. The Zoom meeting link was missing the passcode, making remote participation impossible, although streaming was available. Emails to the city clerk were responded to with the correct link. Two annual reports, one from the Fort Bragg Police Department and one from the Mendocino Coast Humane Society, provided insights into crime rates and the number of stray animals.Chief Cervenka provided crime statistics for 2024. The police responded to over 15000 calls, which resulted in 1166 reports, 514 arrests, and 315 traffic citations. They seized 8.75 pounds of illegal drugs and 26 firearms. There were 106 vehicle collisions, of which 8 were due to DUIs. In general, crime decreased locally except for domestic violence, which increased by 53%. Chief Cervenka said the increase was due to better training of his officers, who are making more arrests, and the victims' access to post-pandemic assistance.Chief Cervenka also provided an update on the extreme weather shelter for this past winter. The extreme weather shelter is run by the police department through their Crisis Response Unit (CRU) program, which facilitates helping houseless individuals off the street and into housing. The extreme weather shelter operates from November 15th to March 31st and is opened based on precipitation and temperature as predicted by the National Weather Service. The shelter operated 83 out of the possible 136 operational days, provided beds 644 times for 107 individuals. The emergency shelter handles overflow from the hospitality house, which maintains 25 beds. Although there was an increased need for beds this past winter, there was a 15% drop in individuals needing help. Cervenka attributed that to the police department's homeless housing program, or CRU. Judy Martin, the Executive Director for the Mendocino Coast Humane Society provided an annual report on the animals in their care. They currently have 97 animals, of which 44 are available for adoption. In 2024, they took in 631 animals and adopted out 504. According to Martin, the coast shelter takes in animals from Leggett to Gualala, provides basic veterinary care to low-income families, and works with Fort Bragg police on impounds.The City of Fort Bragg provides the Humane Society with $60,000 in funds and leases property to them for the shelter. The Humane Society is primarily funded by sales at the Arc Thrift Store, donations, and grants. The City declared May 1st through 7th as Rhododendron week to recognize the many hybrids developed in Fort Bragg. The 46th annual John Druecker Memorial Rhododendron Show is scheduled for May 3rd and 4th. It is held adjacent to the Mendocino Coast Botanical Gardens and is open to the public. Admission to the Rhododendron show is free.Under consent, the council approved updates to the purchasing, bidding, and signatory requirements, affording City Manager Isaac Whippy the authority to sign off on purchases of up to $60,000. All contracts over $5000 require a minimum of three bids. Contracts over $60,000 require council approval. The council also adopted changes to the municipal code, reducing parking and altering parking lot landscaping requirements for multi-family housing developments, and approved a four-year lease with Toshiba for printers and copiers. Earlier on the meeting agenda, the council honored Jason Balassi for his thirty years of service in the public works department, received a presentation from the Fort Bragg Library, and honored volunteers during National Volunteer Week, which is April 20 – 26 this year.Under, items from the council, Councilmember Lindy Peters provided a report on the FBFD financials. According to Peters, the Fort Bragg Fire Department is in good shape financially. It currently has approximately $954,000 in the bank and expects additional funding from Mendocino County soon. Lindy thanked the staff and many volunteers who keep the fire department operational.
We've both gotten our hands on CRT televisions recently--Will's one from his youth and Brad's a much more modern set--and we've spent a bunch of time tinkering with them, getting our MiSTers to play nicely with them, and generally enjoying some warm analog video. On this week's ep we dig into our time reacquainting ourselves with what TVs used to be like, with a freewheeling conversation that touches on all kinds of minutiae like when it might be time to replace your aging set's capacitors, trying to understand signal standards from RGsB to YPbPr, remembering the time when the only inputs on your TV were a couple of screws, and a bunch more.Will's TV: General Electric 10AB3406WF02Brad's TV: https://crtdatabase.com/crts/toshiba/toshiba-14af42This is a great teardown and servicing video for the Toshiba: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Ij0i-xnvic Support the Pod!

Tony Pang, founder of IME International Mandarin Education, and Jeremy Au discussed: 1. Veteran EdTech Founder Journey: Tony shared his evolution from a Boston University graduate to a seasoned entrepreneur. After working at Toshiba in Japan during its economic peak, he returned to Hong Kong in the 1990s to launch eSchool, a corporate e-learning platform during the dot-com boom. Despite the bubble burst, he bought back his shares and sold the company to a larger firm. In 2005, he sold his Mandarin training company—the largest in Hong Kong—to The Washington Post. Tony also broke new ground in 2001 by collaborating with Disney to design the world's first Disneyfied mobile phone, rebuilding hardware and software from scratch. This experience highlighted his focus on innovation, calculated risks, and leveraging partnerships for success. 2. Rise of Chinese Language Learning: Tony explored the growing demand for Mandarin as a second language, driven by China's global influence, particularly in ASEAN countries. He contrasted Eastern cultures' preference for assessment-driven learning with the West's more relaxed approach. Through IME, Tony uses edtech to make HSK assessments accessible, affordable, and engaging globally, addressing challenges like fragmented demand and the Ministry of Education's reliance on outdated models. He noted that improving accessibility can unlock significant latent demand, even in regions where Mandarin is not traditionally popular. 3. Risk vs. Resilience: Tony emphasized the importance of calculated risks and identifying a unique competitive edge. He shared lessons from his Disney mobile phone project, showing how entrepreneurs can thrive against larger competitors by focusing on niche markets and innovative solutions. He encouraged resilience through perseverance, leveraging resources, and aligning strategies with long-term goals. Jeremy and Tony also touched on the role of luck in entrepreneurial success, generational shifts toward multilingualism and geographic trends in Mandarin language adoption. === Tony Pang, based in Hong Kong and founder of International Mandarin Education (IME), is an accomplished entrepreneur with a proven track record in education and e-learning. With over 20 years of expertise in Mandarin education, he specializes in information systems and assessment. His strong connections with the Ministry of Education of China (MOE) underscore his pivotal role at the intersection of education and technology. === Watch, listen or read the full insight at www.bravesea.com/blog/ chinese-language-learning-boom Nonton, dengar atau baca wawasan lengkapnya di www.bravesea.com/blog/ chinese-language-learning-boom 观看、收听或阅读全文,请访问 www.bravesea.com/blog/ chinese-language-learning-boom Xem, nghe hoặc đọc toàn bộ thông tin chi tiết tại www.bravesea.com/blog/ chinese-language-learning-boom Get transcripts, startup resources & community discussions at www.bravesea.com WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VakR55X6BIElUEvkN02e TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jeremyau Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jeremyauz Twitter: https://twitter.com/jeremyau LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/bravesea Spotify English: https://open.spotify.com/show/4TnqkaWpTT181lMA8xNu0T Bahasa Indonesia: https://open.spotify.com/show/2Vs8t6qPo0eFb4o6zOmiVZ Chinese: https://open.spotify.com/show/20AGbzHhzFDWyRTbHTVDJR Vietnamese: https://open.spotify.com/show/0yqd3Jj0I19NhN0h8lWrK1 YouTube English: https://www.youtube.com/@JeremyAu?sub_confirmation=1 Apple Podcast English: https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/brave-southeast-asia-tech-singapore-indonesia-vietnam/id1506890464 Learn more about Nika.eco!

On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey are joined by Matt Franz. Matt is founder and principal of Eagle Point Capital. The registered investment adviser aims to build wealth in the long term while avoiding the permanent loss of capital. Matt kicks off the show by describing Eagle Point Capital's ownership mentality for buying stocks and what qualities he looks for in a company. As he explains, businesses that have very simple unit economics and that are noncyclical tend to be the best. He also zeroes in on specific metrics to evaluate stocks, the importance of owning businesses that reinvest capital, and his "replication mode" method for assessing a company's future potential. (1:41) Next, Matt talks about whether brands can be economic moats. He urges investors not to conflate brand awareness with pricing power, using consumer-electronics company Toshiba as an example. This leads to a conversation about luxury brands, why Matt prefers distributors to retailers, and why he only invests in companies worth 10 times earnings or less. Matt then breaks down his long-term focus, discussing intrinsic value and giving listeners a reality check. (17:10) Finally, Matt highlights the discipline it takes to be a long-term value investor, as it's human nature to want to add more to a position when it's soaring or sell shares on bad news. However, when you own good businesses, it's best to sit on your hands and do nothing. Matt also shares some guidelines Eagle Point Capital follows when searching for stocks in terms of market cap, industry, risk factor, and cyclicality. (37:53)

This leads to a conversation about luxury brands, why Matt prefers distributors to retailers, and why he only invests in companies worth 10 times earnings or less. Matt then breaks down his long-term focus, discussing intrinsic value and giving listeners a reality check. (17:10) Finally, Matt highlights the discipline it takes to be a long-term value investor, as it's human nature to want to add more to a position when it's soaring or sell shares on bad news. However, when you own good businesses, it's best to sit on your hands and do nothing. Matt also shares some guidelines Eagle Point Capital follows when searching for stocks in terms of market cap, industry, risk factor, and cyclicality. (37:53)

This week on What a Lad we are joined by Hugh Pyle who in my opinion is the greatest Australian rugby player never to be capped by the Wallabies. Standing at over 2 meters tall, Hugh's combination of skillset and workrate has seen him have a remarkable career firstly in Australia with the Rebels before moving to France, where he became a centurion with Stade Français. He finished off in Japan with Toshiba before calling time on his Rugby career.In his podcast debut, Hugh shares candid insights about his life post-rugby, including his transition to a career as a mortgage broker. He dives into his unique method of reflecting on his career through four key pillars: enjoyment, playing form, salary, and game time, revealing the lessons he learned along the way. Hugh also talks about plenty of challenges he faced while playing which included battling with dodgy knees, adjusting to life in different parts of the world and even dealing with a serious brain injury.As you'll hear, Hugh is a massive lad, someone who's reflective personality makes for thought provocative content, he also has a great sense of humor, and can tell a yarn. I'm sure you'll enjoy this one and if you do please give it a share so I can keep bringing you great guest like Hugh. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

ISBJØRN's rig towers over the other sailboats in her winter marina, but at the far end of the pontoons, there is one mast that makes even her spar look tiny. It belongs to a veteran of ocean racing, built as “Toshiba” for the last ever Whitbread Round the World race in 1997. She's now under the command of skipper Morten Landmark, who uses it for family cruising and to humble the Shetland Race fleet. -- ON THE WIND is presented by Forbes Yachts, the yacht sales professionals.

I've been wanting and meaning to pick up a rice cooker for quite some time now, but could never find a solid one without paying hundreds of dollars for it. Well it looks like Toshiba has finally answered the call for a budget friendly device that's reliable with their Toshiba Electric Rice Cooker.
I want to share my journey of discovering a new career in my 60s, which led me to a community filled with warmth and compassion, where the joy of making art binds us. This experience has shown me how creativity can be a powerful path to mindfulness and inner peace. I'm excited to share the beauty and serenity it has brought into my life. https://www.glassartscollective.com/ https://www.instagram.com/glassartscollective https://www.facebook.com/glassartscollective https://www.youtube.com/@glassartscollective https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancymarks/ Transitioning From Corporate to Glass Art Studio Michael and Nancy discussed Nancy's transition from a corporate career to running a glass art studio. Nancy shared her experience of stress and burnout in the corporate world, attributing it to her logical thinking style and the inability to find a creative outlet. She mentioned working for big names like IBM, Toshiba, Sony Pictures, and ABC. Nancy emphasized the importance of asking questions and seeking improvements in the workplace. She also expressed regret for not finding her creative sanctuary earlier in life. Michael encouraged Nancy to continue pursuing her passion for glass art and acknowledged the positive impact of creativity on mental health. Exploring Career Changes and Personal Growth Michael and Nancy discussed their career changes and the importance of self-reflection and exploration. Michael, who initially pursued a career in public accounting, shared his realization that he needed a change. Nancy, who initially believed she lacked creativity, discovered her passion for working with fuse glass. Both emphasized the importance of giving oneself permission to change directions and explore new interests. They also discussed the process of working with fuse glass, which involves breaking glass and stacking pieces in a kiln at a temperature of 1,500 degrees. Embracing Imperfections in Glass Art and Teaching Nancy shared her passion for glass art, emphasizing the importance of embracing imperfections and respecting the material. She described her teaching approach as helping people understand the beauty in uniqueness and the joy of creating one-of-a-kind pieces. Michael appreciated Nancy's perspective and shared his own thoughts on the importance of focusing on dreams rather than worries. He also expressed his growing appreciation for the arts, mentioning his love for music and his interest in visiting art studios and museums. Exploring Art, Stories, and Singular Focus Michael shared his perspective on art and the stories it tells, emphasizing the importance of understanding the choices and reasoning behind a piece. He used the example of a sculpture by Picasso to illustrate this point. Michael also shared a personal story about a paper mache bottle he made in 6th grade, which his mother kept and his brother now has. He reflected on the process of creating the bottle, highlighting the singular focus required for such tasks. Nancy agreed, noting the benefits of single focus and the decline of multitasking as a valuable skill. Exploring Paper Mache and Stress Relief Michael and Nancy discussed their past experiences with paper mache and the potential for future projects. Michael expressed interest in trying the project again, possibly with his wife, and suggested adding more color to the project. Nancy shared her stress-relieving experiences at her studio, where she focuses on her work and decompresses. She also mentioned the occasional breakage of glass in the kilns, but reassured that the broken glass is often reused to create something new. The conversation ended with Michael drawing parallels between the creation of byproducts in cost accounting and the potential for scraps to create something magical. Exploring Art Therapy and Creative Outlets Michael and Nancy discussed the therapeutic benefits of creating art, such as reduced stress and improved perspective. Nancy shared how customers are amazed by their creations, even if they claim to lack creativity initially. Michael suggested that being creative leads to clarity in other aspects of life. Nancy recommended finding simple creative outlets like doodling or gardening to boost well-being and happiness. They emphasized that engaging in creative activities can positively impact one's mindset and understanding of others. Fused Glass Artist's Work and Promotion Michael and Nancy had a lively conversation about Nancy's work as a fused glass artist. Nancy shared her website, gift shop, and social media handles, encouraging everyone to visit and support her unique, handmade art.
Oral Arguments for the Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
Indirect Purchaser v. Toshiba Corporation
Today, the hard disk drive industry and its big three companies - Seagate, Western Digital and Toshiba - are in decline. The Solid State Drive or SSD is on the rise. SSDs are faster, more reliable, and consume less power. Something that began 30 years ago with replacing audio tapes in telephone answering machines - remember those? - has grown to power a $60 billion market per the IEEE. HDD unit volume sales will never be as they were before. Consumers no longer buy HDDs for their iPods, laptops or even desktops. Sad. But the HDD's march towards oblivion has been arrested by a new market: Growing demand from enterprise companies storing data for "nearline" storage. Nearline, referring to data that the customer needs accessible but not so frequently nor immediately. This market is real. Companies in all sorts of fields are producing data at a far faster rate than they can afford to store it.

https://youtu.be/6s4SzbShRQY Robert Brill, CEO of Brill Media, is driven by a passion for business growth and personal development. His entrepreneurial journey is fueled by a desire for success and resilience, inspired by his modest upbringing, relentless drive to improve, and love for the "game" of business. We learn about Robert's journey from four failed businesses to founding Brill Media, where he excels in media buying and digital advertising. Robert thoroughly explains his two versions of the Meta Framework, which involves mining niche problem statements, testing to find the most relevant ones, turning them into solutions, and combining them with matching imagery. He also highlights the integration of AI to enhance marketing effectiveness and the importance of persistent testing and adaptation in advertising strategies. --- Answer Your Customer's Problems with Robert Brill Good day, dear listeners. Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast and my guest today is Robert Brill, the CEO of Brill Media, an expert in media buying in the areas of connected TV, streaming services, digital audio, digital out of home, display, search, and social media. Robert, welcome to the show. Thanks for having me, Steve. Appreciate it. So, let's start with your entrepreneurial journey through, I hate to say that four failed businesses, but finally founding and growing a three times fortune, five times the business. That's a real American success story, isn't it? Thanks. Yeah. So, when I started Brill Media, I started four different companies. One was an influencer marketing company. One was me being the influencer in the food space. One was a consulting firm and one was a social media company. And I didn't have any real level of expertise in any of those. At that moment in time, I had spent about 10 years in the advertising business. And the thing I was the best at, my zone of genius, as it were, was media buying, running ads for corporations Sony, Disney, Capcom, Bacardi, Toshiba, PetSmart, etc. ConocoPhillips, fortune 5 company. And it took me a few years to realize that the thing I need to be doing is the thing that I do the best, which is media buying and media buying is another way of saying advertising.Share on X Advertising is when you spend money to deliver your message. So, if you're spending money with Facebook or Hulu or X or LinkedIn or TikTok or Google search, you're advertising. If you're not advertising, it means you're posting on social media, you're doing search engine optimization, whatever the case might be. I started a bunch of companies and the thing that was the best for me is media buying. And once I really focused on media buying, I fundamentally realized that where I need to focus my time and energy is where I have the most competitive advantage. I have an unfair advantage because I've been doing this for so long for so many big companies. And once I really focused on that, things started to fall into place. It was never easy. None of this is actually really easy. But I think what's interesting is when you determine that you're going to do something, then even the problems you have, the solutions start to come to those problems. And for the longest time, I tried not to deal with the problems of going into the media buying business, which is, I didn't know how to sell, and financial risk is a big thing. It's a big part of the business. So I didn't want to deal with that. And as a result, I put it off. And when I started to deal with those challenges, solutions came into focus. Yeah, that is so true. I think it's Tony Robbins who says that where attention goes, energy flows. So it's basically, we are infinitely resourceful. If we have to solve a problem, we do. And I think the great entrepreneurs are the ones who are willing to put themselves in harm's way and into very stressful situations and force those reserves to come to the surface that are latent in all of us. So that's great.

This is a replay but still relevant episode from late 2021.Skippy gets confused as to why Starbucks is adopting the blockchain (and you should be too). Then Skippy and Doogles discuss 3 big breakups this week — General Electric, Toshiba, and Johnson & Johnson are all splitting up their companies. Doogles calls out all of us for perpetuating inflation by buying too much stuff unnecessarily, based on some great reads from Bridgewater Associates and The Atlantic. The episode wraps walking through how much the last few crashes have hurt the market (and the next one won't be better), and how confirmation bias is ruining the world — great piece written by KCP Group called "Racehorses and Psychopaths".Join the Skippy and Doogles fan club.

In episode 1163 of the Arete Coach Podcast, titled "Framing Leadership: A Photographer's Lens on Executive Coaching," host Severin Sorensen engages in a profound conversation with David Kinnear. As an experienced executive coach, Vistage Chair, and CEO of DBK Associates, Kinnear brings a unique blend of leadership acumen and creative insight. His three decades in the semiconductor industry with Toshiba and Fairchild Semiconductor have provided a solid foundation for his coaching career. The episode explores Kinnear's seamless transition from a corporate environment to the realm of executive coaching, emphasizing his commitment to lifelong learning and leadership development. His coaching methodology is enriched by his experiences in engineering, management, and business development, underscoring the synergy between technical knowledge and human skills. An intriguing aspect of the podcast is the discussion around Kinnear's passion for photography, delving into how this creative pursuit intersects with his coaching practice. The conversation also touches on the role of AI in coaching, active listening, and the importance of detaching from outcomes. Kinnear's quotes reflect his practical wisdom and dedication to empowering leaders, resonating with the theme of creating a better world through effective leadership. In our conversation we learn David is an avid photographer and we talk about photography and the advent of AI visualization tools he uses, and his thoughts on AI imagery and creativity. A couple of quotes that jumped out at me in the interview from David were his comments: "If I'm going to claim that I'm a coach, then I better go get some training." Or, "I realized that I can't own the outcome either of coaching or consulting." And, "The universe is indifferent. It's not trying to kill me, and it's not trying to help me. And his mantra of "Creating a better world one leader at a time." The Arete Coach Podcast seeks to explore the art and science of executive coaching.
