Building Sustainability into Supply Chains
The Silk Road, which linked China, Western Asia, Persia, Central Asia and Europe, is an early example of a supply chain, used to transport jade and bronze, and later precious Chinese cloth. Much like spice trade routes, this supply chain saw products like black pepper, cinnamon, turmeric and star anise travel thousands of miles before reaching their final destination. It is interesting to consider how challenges of logistics have been so deeply ingrained in our society.
The Buzz Around Bees
Check out any local farmer’s market this season and you’ll be sure to find at least one stand devoted to all things bee-related: candles, waxed food wraps, soap, lip balms, and of course, honey. You can’t help liking these little guys who are working so hard for us.

HIPOWER SYSTEMS harnesses the power of its international parent companies while remaining small enough to give customers a level of personal service and American-made quality that are hard to come by in standby and portable power generation manufacturing.
Strait Crossing Bridge Ltd.
The 12.9 km (8.9-mile) Confederation Bridge linking Prince Edward Island to the mainland is a stretch of the Trans-Canada Highway that crosses the Northumberland Strait. But that doesn’t begin to describe a structure which is the longest bridge in the world over ice covered waters.

Work-Life Balance
An Afrikaans adage, from long ago and far away, gently counsels us, Die oggendstond het goud in die mond: Dawn has gold in its mouth. Today, most of us who rise at dawn or earlier would more likely be mumbling, “The early bird catches the worm.”
