Non-Emergency Directory Service announces Blue Pages “App” Website

By
Roger Bishop
-

A new information service called Blue Pages “App” (Blue Pages), https://www.bluepagesapp.co.uk/, has launched its website in the UK aimed at providing comprehensive information about non-emergency services such as charities, government departments and other non-profit making organisations. Under Blue Pages these are called “Member Organisations.”

The point is to give a simple and financially savvy path for these associations to expose what they do and to make it simpler for purchasers or individuals from the general population to discover the data they need as fast as could reasonably be expected.

The first thought, to which Blue Pages owes its intuition, originates from examination into the quantity of waste calls made to the crisis administrations 999 number. In the coronavirus pandemic examination featured that there had been a checked increment sought after by the overall population for a wide range of help. Looking further back, explicitly at 999 calls, it was discovered that of the 30 million or more calls made to 999 every year, some 30% were considered a waste for example non-crisis, costing the UK Taxpayer around £50 million every year.

The thought has now developed into a progressively complete catalog administration giving part associations the capacity to list their administrations while exploiting highlights, for example, Events, Classified Ads (for example Occupations) and Articles. There is a scope of reasonable part membership choices accessible, including a Free alternative and £1 every year at the Silver level.

Chief, Ray Sherry, of Greenforce (Wales) Limited who has propelled the administration says, “By chance I ran over an article on squander 999 calls. After a touch of exploration, I found that there was certainly not a solitary site or application out there that brought all these assistance benefits together in one spot. Rather individuals would simply call 999 in light of the fact that it was the most straightforward activity. I trust we can impact that after some time yet for the time being we simply need to make it simpler for individuals to locate the correct assistance.”

With an ever increasing number of individuals utilizing cell phones, to get to help benefits, a cell phone application will follow in a couple of days. The site at first records more than 200 part associations and will dispatch its promoting effort on 5 July 2020, to concur with the NHS’s 72nd Birthday.

Blue Pages App expects to give in any event 25% of its catalog pay to great aims from Year 4 onwards.

Corporate Colonialism from the 4th World

By
Roger Bishop
-

“Whilst such corrupt corporate greed runs rampant throughout the world, our species will remain divided, unhealed, impoverished & fundamentally unequal” – The 4th World.

“Corporate Colonialism” : The 4th World’s Message To Humanity.

MP3 | WAV | YouTube  | Spotify

‘Corporate Colonialism’ focuses on highlighting the perpetual poverty of the third world; serving as a stark reminder of colonialism’s continuous legacy. Depriving the majority of its native populations from being enriched by their sought-after resources, supranational corporations, persist in plundering the profits of these exceptionally lucrative regions of the Earth.

821 million people face hunger & starvation daily, with 98% of these living in third world countries – accounting for 78% of the entire global population. This has major relevance to the Black Lives Matter movement, given that the majority of third world populations affected by world hunger are non-white, whilst non-struggling first world populations exist in majority white nations.

Colonial empires were founded upon elitism, racism & white supremacy – resulting in the violent enslavement & impoverishment of non-white populations. It’s a harrowing reminder that corporations who now actively support the Black Lives Matter movement, continue to contribute to the sustained impoverishment of people in the third world.

The wounds of colonialism still endure, tormenting humanity by fanning the flames of injustice & oppression via economic deprivation & starvation, as well as the ongoing systemic racial injustice and discrimination that has come to a boil in the first world.

“The hierarchical first & third world systems belong to the savage, dark ages of the colonial history they spawned from – it has no place existing in this century, let alone to this day in 2020” – The 4th World

‘Corporate Colonialism’ is a conscious hip-hop single, focusing on highlighting the perpetual poverty of the third world. The vocal flow is a harsh critique of unfair power structures & seeks to open up the possibility of a better world, if only we could leave these out-dated and archaic disparity behind us.

Deliberately mysterious, The 4th World (sometimes stylised as T4W), is a London-based artist & lyrical innovator, that combines hip-hop influences with orchestral elements to create unique musical experiences & sounds.

With deep concerns for the future of our planet & the welfare of our species, The 4th World channels raw emotions into powerful lyrics & messages, to awaken people’s minds to the natural world & healing power of our planet and universe.

The poetic style of his socially, environmentally, politically & spiritually conscious lyrics expose the injustice of the world, along with the negative spiral of disillusionment that continues to permeate through society.

The 4th World wants to become the first artist to spread an awakened alternative – the universe’s spiritual message – to the human race of planet Earth… Step into the realm of The 4th World & discover the emboldened new dawn that humanity could enter.

Post-lockdown boost for Morley Glass & Glazing

By
Roger Bishop
-

Morley Glass & Glazing has achieved a 35% increase in production of its sealed units with Screenline blinds inside compared to pre-lockdown manufacturing levels.

Last week the £18m turnover company manufactured 3400 integral blinds compared to a weekly average of 2500 which was typically produced prior to lockdown.

 Managing Director Ian Short said: “We were closed for six weeks as directed by the Government but since our return to work in mid-May demand has been higher than ever. At first we thought it was everybody playing catch-up and fulfilling existing orders and we were expecting orders to drop. But demand has increased and there is no sign of it abating.

“We suspect that as many people have been working from home or have been spending more time at home on furlough they have been reviewing their properties and deciding to invest in home improvements including the installation of new doors and windows – many with integral blinds inside. The fact that most people will not be able to take holidays abroad this summer also means there may be more cash for home improvements and creating more suitable longer-term home working and home entertainment environments.

 “This is great news for the industry and long may it last. Everyone is adapting to new ways of working observing social distancing and implementing new measures that give consumers confidence that they can safely improve their homes during the COVID-19 period.”Morley Glass & Glazing manufactures Uni-Blind sealed units with screenline blinds inside. The blinds are available with a choice of five operating systems including manual cordless solar controlled and fully automated. Slimline blinds for composite doors and vertical sliding sash windows are also available. Morley has recently launched fire-rated Uni-Blinds in a partnership with fire glass manufacturer Pyroguard. And most recently the company has invested in an app that allows users to operate the electric blinds from their smartphone or tablet. Morley Glass & Glazing also holds £1m of ScreenLine spare parts and accessories in stock for order from its website with next day delivery.

All orders placed for Uni-Blinds sealed units by 11am every Friday are delivered in just 10 days. Delivery is free to mainland UK addresses.

7 Benefits of living in an Eco-pod by Philip Doleman

By
Roger Bishop

Most people are going to live in eco-pods, so there are many benefits of living in eco-pods. The most common benefits are sustainability, minimal disruption, and adaptability.

Philip Doleman, an Architecture, designs such eco-pods that offer all the mentioned benefits. Apart from these, his designed eco-pods offer a peaceful and quiet mind and allow you to feel the taste of nature.

Following are some of the extraordinary benefits of living in an eco-pod:

  1. Sustainable

The most crucial benefit of eco-pods is its sustainability. There is a low impact with a light mark on the globe. The materials used in eco-pods are renewable, and there is the use of energy-efficient LED lighting that saves power costs as well.

The designs of eco-pods may include restorative ecological attributes like solar hot water systems. The sustainability here is a cost-effective factor.

  1. Minimal Disruption

The selection of a standard living range may imply to minimal disruption. The total cost compared to the big building is lesser, and you are getting the same thing. For an eco-pod, you need no construction site mess and save you from wasting time and money.

Remember that if you decided to have an eco-pod, there is no need to break down your existing home. The aim is to avoid disruption, not doing it.

  1. Adaptable

Yes, the eco-pods are highly adaptable for every individual to come up with lots of possibilities. Try to relocate your eco-pod to suit your changing requirements like your farmhouse etc. For creating a multi-purpose community as a blend, then add additional Pods to the area.

  1. Cost-Effective

Though all the benefits of eco-pods are cost-effective, they are 40-60% cheaper than conventional construction. A single Pod can be used for multi-purpose, so get the efficiency of space. A saleable asset should your circumstances change.

  1. Transportable and Portable

The eco-pod that you owned or constructed must have single site delivery. It will ensure its portability and adaptability purpose of your locality over time. So, the Pods are transportable, and wherever you move, you can take it with you.

  1. Privacy and Security

The Pod’s design is such that the internals’ construction conditions are safe, secure, and weather protected. There is a peaceful arrangement of compartments for the Pod that has a bigger size.

  1. Eco-friendly

Getting back to nature, your Pod keeps the love of the environment as its priority. As your eco-pod used to be small, you can make a bit of it out. You can make out of recycled, re-purposed, and recovered supplies.

Moreover, the eco-pods are eco-friendly as most of them use wind or solar power. So, do not focus on stuff related to other power sources.

Final Words by Philip Doleman:

There are a lot of benefits to eco-pods, which are far away from our approach. In short, there are countless benefits if someone makes proper use of it.

Those people who choose an eco-pod as an affordable piece can determine to live with more rare luxuries and adopt a more simplistic way of life.

VIRGINIC employees bravely stand up to Virgin invading their privacy and daily screenshooting their social media and Linkedin profiles

By
Roger Bishop
-

“There comes a point when you have to stand up to behavior of ruthless lawyers, because they destroy others. Bullying like this silences people but we all know this is not an acceptable practice.”

Last week Virgin (https://www.virgin.com/) launched a new attack on shocked VIRGINIC (https://virginic.com/) employees and threatened in Court to serve them lawsuits directly to their Linkedin profiles. Virgin then followed its threats and served its lawsuits to unrelated email addresses of those individuals it found on the internet. Virgin revealed it has been spying on VIRGINIC employees social media and private Linkedin profiles and provided the Court daily screenshots of such profiles as evidence. Thomas M Monagan from Norvell IP is the lawyer hired by Virgin in USA, together with Geoff Hussey from A.A. Thornton in UK to tear apart the business fabric of VIRGINIC and force the start up to stop selling its allergy-free organic creams.

According to Mark Russell, a former employee of VIRGINC: “The harassment Virgin lawyers have been maliciously applying for the past 2 years have adversely and financially affected many workers employed who lost their jobs because of the hardship caused by Virgin. Virgin has been trying to starve a small start up company financially to death for past 2 years and it’s a miracle VIRGINIC is still standing up straight by pure force of business strength and integrity.”

He adds: “Virgin opened multiple lawsuits in multiple countries and demanded we close, hand them our website, destroy the products and commit a business suicide. VIRGINIC heroically stood up to it.

All employees gave their 200% knowing it costs a fortune to hire lawyers in all those countries and a lot of us declared to work for reduced wage to support our mission-based company and stand up to bullying. Everyone with common sense knew Virgin’s claims were not only lacking factual merits but were in line of a long history of Virgin destroying through litigation (https://money.cnn.com/2005/06/29/news/newsmakers/branson_suit/index.htm) many other start ups in the past including small Virgin Olive Oil producers (https://www.techdirt.com/articles/20150501/06032130844/virgingroup-disputes-trademark-application-tiny-olive-oil-companyvasse-virgin-because-course-they-did.shtml).”

Question remains, should Virgin and its lawyers be held liable for damages they have caused including loss of jobs of VIRGINIC employees and financial hardships caused to many families?

VIRGINIC is defending its case vigorously with the limited means it has but the irony is, what wrong did they do at the first place. VIRGINIC is an honest, cruelty-free and natural-ingredients-only beauty company. The name is different from Virgin. They sell entirely different products. Their logo and branding is different.

Customers buying VIRGINIC organic face cream jars online are certainly not confused thinking they are buying from Virgin Airlines/Mobile or Virgin Galactic.

Nevertheless VIRGINIC workers who lost their jobs due to high costs of multiple international lawsuits and whose private social media profiles are daily watched and taken screenshots of, are the ones to shoulder the burden. At the event of US Court eventually ruling for VIRGINIC, will the multi-billion dollar giant Virgin be ordered to compensate those employees for loss of income and privacy invasion?

He adds: “There comes a point when you have to stand up to behavior of ruthless lawyers, because they destroy people and they destroy lives, just because there is a company with deep pockets willing to pay for it. Bullying like this scares and silences people but we all know this is not an acceptable practice. There needs to be accountability for false and malicious storytelling in courts and daily spying on private profiles and hiring private investigators to find out where those employees live, which is also what Virgin said in Court they did and presented those private investigators endings to Court as evidence. Virgin’s infamous and low litigation and personal harassment tactics are now a part of a public record so everything is out there to be seen and accounted for.”

A former employee who fell victim to this case, finishes by saying: “There is a human cost to this malicious bullying. VIRGINIC has continued to put on a brave face and has been boldly fighting back for the past two years, but I cannot begin to describe how painful it has been to many VIRGINIC employees. They lost their jobs, their privacy was violated. The multi-billion dollar giant attacked a small start up because they can and because lawyers had to justify their fees. All this at the direct expense of many hard working young people, their family income and the better mission-based future they have been building.”

The case progresses and it is unclear how quickly the Court might rule.

Maidstone based tuition company to fund education for children in Brazil.

Changing lives one lesson at a time.

Vulnerable children often not accessing school in Brazil are to receive additional support with life changing education and mentoring thanks to a new scheme run by Maidstone company Outreach Tuition.   Outreach Tuition support vulnerable children and disadvantaged young people within Kent and South London. For every new pupil referred to them by primary and secondary schools, local authorities and alternative settings, Outreach Tuition will in turn, fund the education of a child in Brazil.

Outreach Tuition, run by Jodie Devlin, is to help support education through the charity Meninadanca.  Meninadanca works with around 300 children and young people every day, in some of the poorest communities along Brazil’s main highway where they are often exploited by their families. The charity’s Pink Houses provide a safe haven where they can learn to flourish through a mix of programmes to help empower and educate themselves. Through a mix of dance, art and education, the charity helps them to overcome their past, erase fear and build a meaningful future. Meninadance also works with families within these vulnerable areas to educate them on the value of their children within the community.

Jodie Devlin, Director of Outreach Tuition says “School leaders in London and the South East can really feel as though they are making a difference now when they refer pupils to us. In addition to receiving our life changing home tuition for the vulnerable pupils in their own schools, they equally will be lifting up a deprived area of Brazil. We are starting with this scheme in Brazil, but it is our vision to eventually support the education of vulnerable children all over the world.”

Local Businessman Aiming for Grand Slam with Rugby Box

By

-

COLCHESTER based Entrepreneur Dan Mitchell has added to his portfolio of businesses by investing in Rugby Box, the world’s only subscription box for rugby players.

Dan Mitchell, who owns and runs award-winning digital marketing consultancy Digital Reflow and several other digitally-driven businesses, has purchased half of the Rugby Box business having recognised the huge opportunity in the market, plus the valuable contribution his existing team of developers, graphic designers and marketers could make in pushing the business forward.

Initially founded by Scott Warner in 2018 the idea behind Rugby Box is simple, each quarter subscribers receive a box through the post that’s full of everything they’ll need for the rugby season ahead, including clothing, nutrition and kit-bag accessories. The box retails for £50 (inc. p&p) but the contents are worth over £70.

New Co-owners Dan and Scott met through their own passion for Rugby, both having played for local team Mersea Rugby Football Club, and it was Dan’s company Digital Reflow who built the original Rugby Box website.

In its first year of trading Rugby Box has attracted over 300 subscribers, but with over 2million rugby players in England alone, and the subscription box market expected to increase by 77% before 2022, new business partners Dan and Scott are aiming to grow this to 1,000 subscribers by the end of the year.

Dan Mitchell, Co-owner of Rugby Box, commented: “As a rugby fan and digital enthusiast this was an investment opportunity I couldn’t resist!

“Scott has done an incredible job getting the business off the ground, but with my resources and experience in retail and digital, we’re hoping to take the business to the next level.

“We’re already implementing changes to the website to make the purchase process as seamless as possible, whilst developing a marketing strategy that will help us reach our goal of 1,000 subscribers by the end of the year.”

Scott Warner, Rugby Box’s Founder added: “We’re excited to have Dan on board, allowing me to step away from the marketing side of the business and focus on sourcing the latest great quality rugby merchandise for our subscribers to enjoy.”

Boutique Art Dealer ME Art set for digital expansion from new Canary Wharf offices

By
Roger Bishop
-

Many across the world are waiting for their offices to open up so they can return back to one.  But one Canary Wharf based art dealers, ME Art, have made the decision to abandon its immediate plans to open a physical art gallery in Canary Wharf all-together to focus on building and growing digitally.

The boutique dealers, which have a niche in selling unique and exceptional investment-grade artwork of British contemporary, post-war and street artists, like William Gear, Alan Davie and Endless. They made the bold call to go virtual in light of Covid 19, upon realising the lockdown has had little impact on sales, despite the inability to physically see clients and display artwork to them in-person.

Me Art launched with a gallery in 2017 located in Beckenham, South East of England. Given the majority of their client base were located in London, they decided in late 2018 to close the gallery and relocate to an office in Canary Wharf. The strategy was always to open a physical gallery in the city in 2020, whereby prospective and existing clients could come and view artworks and meet with their dealers in person. However, the lockdown has made them aware that this is no longer necessary right away.

Talking about the move, Joseph Lewis, the owner and Director of Me Art, said: “A decade ago the concept of a digital-only art dealership would not be technologically feasible nor accepted by our clients and prospects. However, with the emergence of high quality video conferencing as well as technologies such as augmented reality, we feel incredibly confident that we can replicate the standards and experience people get visiting a physical gallery, online. This is the game changer.”

He later added: The impact of Coronavirus on businesses is going to be felt for a long time across industries, even once lockdown has been lifted. The good news for us is that art buyers will now be more open to digital experiences, buying and viewing perspective art purchases online – from the comfort of their own sofa, using their mobile phone, or even augmented reality goggles!”

Me Art plans to start building a range of virtual services from the second half of this year, such as a virtual and fully  configurable gallery.

In the meantime you can see their art collection at:
