Bounty Agri Ventures Inc. (BAVI) employees recently took part in the Brigada Eskwela program of the Department of Education. The nationwide program encourages organizations to donate and lend a helping hand towards refurbishing public elementary and high school classrooms and facilities in time for the opening of classes.
BAVI employees take time out from work to refurbish and repaint chairs.
At the Punta Integrated School in Calamba City, BAVI volunteers, led by president and general manager Ronald Mascariñas, partnered with parents of the students and other stakeholders in repainting the classrooms’ walls, ceilings, chairs and tables. The company behind the famous Chooks-to-Go oven-roasted chicken brand also donated gallons of paint and painting equipment.

In Butuan City, more than a dozen BAVI volunteers also helped repaint the Taligaman Central Elementary School and Ampayon Central Elementary School using paint donated by the company.

Nowadays, it is possible that business people around the world with innovative and modern technologies are really excited and with ease when SAP made a partnership with Apple related to the innovative system and information technology solutions for the growth and success of business enterprises. What is really the reason why SAP partners with Apple? In this article, let’s discover and learn why SAP agreed of partnership with Apple.
A month ago, SAP announced updates to their technological solutions including collaborative projects in relation with technology industries to assist businesses moving forward and possible to adopt towards digital innovation during the SAPPHIRE NOW and ASUG (America’ SAP User’s Group) Annual Conference event held at the Orange Country Country Convention Center, Orlando Florida from May 7 to 9, 2019. The three-day event highlighted new offerings of Qualtrics solutions to enhance experience management (XM), updates for SAP HANA® and SAP® Cloud Platform to provide easier data accessibility, collaboration of SAP and Apple to expand its app services to iOS and Mac, and collaborations with Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud and global strategic service partners (GSSPs) to guide users in the cloud through project “Embrace.”
“For Philippine businesses to secure growth and maintain high-quality performance in the digital landscape, they must continuously integrate new solutions into their current systems to ensure that they exceed customer expectations,” according to Edler Panlilio, Managing Director, SAP Philippines. “The new data management solutions, product roadmaps, and updates to SAP HANA, as well as other applications that were announced during this year’s SAPPHIRE NOW event, can be utilized by all types of businesses in the Philippines regardless of size, especially that they present next-gen capabilities to support them to achieve their desired outcomes, and make the world run better.”
Did you know that SAP is the market leader in enterprise application software, helping companies of all sizes and in all industries run at their best: 77% of the world’s transaction revenue touches an SAP system? They provide ERP and Digital Core, Digital Platform, Intelligent Technologies, Analytics, CRM and Customer Experience, HR and People Engagement, Digital Supply Chain and Network and Spend Management.
SAP Paves Path towards Intelligent Enterprises with Experience Management SAPPHIRE NOW also rolled out ten Qualtrics solutions during the event. These tools aimed to emphasize experience management as a crucial factor for business growth and positive breakthroughs. With these solutions, organizations can enhance the way they interact with consumers by utilizing the experience data (X-data) and operational data (O-data) and, embedding them into existing CRM, ERP, and HCM systems, as well as to the SAP® C/4HANA suite.
The combination of data and its integration to existing solutions help organizations to gain insights from the values, intention, and emotions of employees, customers, partners, and stakeholders. Business entities can then base strategies around these trends to improve customer and employee relationships, along with the quality of product and brand. Evolution of SAP HANA® and SAP® Cloud Platform Provides Quick Data Management Service Meanwhile, SAP also introduced updates for SAP HANA Cloud Services and SAP Cloud Platform to assist organizations in outgrowing the competition and deliver unique customer experience through fluid data processes.
With new SAP HANA® Cloud Services, SAP aims to bring the power and performance of the SAP HANA database to the cloud where it acts as a single gateway to data of any size to address the challenges of distributed data landscapes. The combination of the in-memory technology of SAP HANA with data virtualization results in simplicity for data consumers and flexibility for data management. A data lake storage tier helps businesses to grow their data managed by SAP HANA without limits. On-premise customers of SAP HANA are aimed to gain more benefit from the new cloud services as they can flexibly add capacity as needed.
At the same time, SAP® Cloud Platform is evolving further into a business technology platform, helping customers to easily extend and integrate SAP applications with differentiating capabilities. SAP and partners alike enrich the platform by contributing and scaling their business expertise.
What intrigued me is when SAP Expands Native App Portfolio to iOS and Mac. They announced that CORE ML®, Apple’s on-device machine learning technology, will be available for the first time as part of the SAP Cloud Platform SDK for iOS. The next version of the SAP Cloud Platform SDK, available later this month, enables businesses to create custom, intelligent iOS apps powered by SAP Leonardo. Machine learning models will automatically download to iPhone® and iPad® so apps can run offline, and then dynamically update while connected to SAP Cloud Platform.
Through the technological partnership with Apple, SAP has rebuilt its most popular mobile apps for SAP SuccessFactors and SAP Concur solutions, along with SAP Asset Manager, to run natively on iOS. These apps are fully integrated with iPhone and iPad, to maximize security, performance and the latest platform innovations from Apple. SAP today announced it will expand its native iOS experience across its broader applications portfolio, starting with SAP Ariba solutions. SAP concluded the event with solutions to help companies enter the digital world and become intelligent enterprises. The company continues to provide key business functions for organizations to run better operations and strategies.
At the end of the day, as entrepreneurs, owners, investors and management of business enterprises let’s invest our resources and wealth through adaptation of innovative products and services for the growth and success of its business operations. Investors and owners really need to know the features of the products that they will purchase or invest including its relevance, security and usefulness in the society.

Facing failure is inevitable on any path to
success. Although a setback can be discouraging, try not to let it zap your
confidence — this is the perfect opportunity to start up a business of your
own! Thanks to modern technology, it’s easier now than ever for anyone to start
their own business on any budget; all it takes is hard work, persistence, and a
little know-how. Here are some things to keep in mind as you get ready to
launch a successful business of your own.
Build a Great Website
Any business — from ecommerce to home-based
consulting — needs awebsite. Even if you’re not going
to sell anything online, a website will help you reach new customers and
encourage them to return. Ensure your website is organized and easy to
navigate; a whopping 38 percent of people will leave a
website if the layout is unattractive! So, hire a professional web designer or
build your own site using a reputable site-building tool.
You will also need to find an affordable and
reliable web hosting service to get your website online and ensure it remains
up and running at all times. InMotion Hosting is a popular option, providing a variety of web solutions, including
dedicated servers and support for WordPress
hosting, to help new businesses get off the ground. With plans starting at just
$6.39 per month, it can be an excellent option for entrepreneurs on a limited
budget.
Write Engaging and
Informative Content
A website is nothing withoutengaging content. So, try to
develop a combination of text, pictures, and video content so you can cater to
all of your site’s visitors. Remember, your readers have a short attention
span, so put your most important message at the very top of your website; if
needed, you can then go into detail further down on your page. Also, keep your
sentences short and use plenty of white space toenhance readability!
Learn How to Market Online
Once your engaging and informative website is
online, it’s time to start thinking about marketing. According to Forbes,digital marketing is the best
budget-friendly way to target a specific group of consumers. Social media
marketing, content marketing, and email marketing can even be free if you’re
willing to create content on your own time. Starting a blog on your website and
promoting this on social media platforms is an excellent way to draw in
customers. If you want to pay fordigital ads, consider hiring a
marketing expert. Without the right expertise, it’s easy to spend your dollars
on ad campaigns that don’t work.
Get Feedback from Your Audience
Before taking your business too far,get feedback from your customers so
you can fine-tune your product and your customer service approach. Send out an
email survey to your customers or ask questions on social media. Don’t just ask
customers what they like about your product or service; ask them what they’re
unhappy about. Additionally, find out what you could do even better by asking
your customers for suggestions.
Prioritize Customer Service
As you start to acquire your first few
customers, put plenty of time into customer service. Since it’s cheaper to
retain customers than it is to acquire new ones, HubSpot recommends focusing
your attention on yourexisting customers. Happy customers
are more likely to buy from you again, recommend your products to others, and
choose your business over your competitors.
As you start making more sales and dealing
with more customers, you may want to hire acustomer support team to ensure
your customers are well cared-for. If you try to handle all of your customer
support inquiries on your own, you’re going to spread yourself thin. Remember
that many customers expect replieswithin one hour!
A career setback is not the end of the world; in fact, it may just be the push you need to finally go after that big idea you’ve had on the back burner all these years. So, get started planning your new business today for a brand new path to a meaningful life.

What do we really talk about when
we talk about the future of learning? We talk about today, what is happening
now, and how our decisions today will affect the next generations of young
learners.
There is no discussion of how the
field of education has been undergoing a radical transformation without first
acknowledging that the 4th Industrial Revolution is here, and that we have to
face its challenges together. Its effects have shaped and defined the practices
and theories that we share and develop as stakeholders of education to help
raise the Whole Child: we acknowledge the importance of a holistic perspective
when it comes to health, we make sure that our schools are safe and open
learning environments, we rethink the ways with which we engage the new
generation of learners, we strive to create a holistic learning community, and
we do our best to prepare young learners for the challenges that our world
faces today.
Holistic education is a way for
teachers, parents, and the communities supporting young learners to help raise
them by nurturing their innate gifts and talents in a balanced and conscious
manner that lets them grow as responsible individuals, whole persons who
understand their role in helping our nation face the challenges of the 4th
Industrial Revolution.
Today, there are problems and
challenges that we face which didn’t exist before: technological advances bring
forth new ways of doing things, but they also bring a slew of concerns over new
forms of harassment and harmful effects from too much exposure. With this in
mind, help emphasize the importance of physical and mental health in 21st
century education: that is to say, we connect a young learner’s sound mind with
a healthy body, to help them grow and adapt with how the world has changed,
fostering positive relationships in the learning community and making sure that
they are in safe, secure, caring and loving environments.
Yes, we have acknowledged time and
again that the world is changing, and with it, the young learners of today are,
too. Their set of basic needs now includes instant and reliable access to the
internet, dependable devices that sustain their digitally immersed lives. With
this reliance came a shift in certain aspects of the path to holistic learning
which needed adjustments and new forms of intervention that would remain
relevant in today’s dynamic, collaborative, and fast-paced learning
environments. This meant engaging the not just the new generation of learners
by motivating and stimulating their curiosities outside of what they’re
accustomed to, but also connecting with and engaging learning professionals who
support the learners with a holistic approach to education.
We do this by complementing what
we already know with what we can apply through patient and persistent practice:
helping and supporting everyone in the process of learning from teaching
professionals to students and the community around them to become equipped for
the 21st century. By immersing and engaging professionals in the education
sector with results-oriented and research-based learning programs, we help them
understand the relevance of their work towards sustaining the Whole Child
initiative.
Today’s rapidly changing world
demands us to change the way we think and do things, and holistic education
through the Whole Child initiative is the first step to ensuring that today’s
new generation of young learners are prepared to take on their role as builders
and makers of the future. With a challenging curriculum and an involved
learning community behind them, we hope to help advance not just their academic
excellence, but more so their personal growth that would, in turn, shape their
lifelong success and development as responsible individuals and citizens of our
nation.
At REX, we strive to bring
quality learning solutions that step up to the challenges and demands of
education in the 21st century. We help teachers, schools, parents, and learning
communities prepare and nurture the young Filipino learner for a better future:
one that is built on values of human connection and social justice, one that
pushes forward progressively with critical thinking grounded with careful
reflection.
We believe that preparing the young Filipino learner means finding a common ground, a common space to share and grow together. With the Whole Child initiative, we hope to bring a sustainable and holistic approach towards education in the 21st century.
There are many ways to think about the future, but there is only one place to prepare for it: today. Learn more about holistic approach to education for the 21st century here: https://www.rexpublishing.com.ph/whole-child-initiative/

Of all the dozens of parts that make up your car, there is arguably none more important than the tires that are fitted. These round rubber objects keep your car moving smoothly along the ground, so if something happens that impedes this smooth movement, your safety is going to be compromised.
This could occur if your tires are mismatched, meaning that there is a notable inconsistency in one or more tires compared to the rest. If you have a tire that is a different size, tread pattern, manufacturer or seasonality from the others that are fitted, this creates a mismatch and potentially jeopardizes the safe driving of the vehicle.
Another possible cause of mismatching is a difference in tread depth, which could easily occur unbeknownst to you. Over time, a tire’s tread will erode, thus weakening its grip on the road. It is recommended to rotate your tires every few months (or sooner, if you do a lot of driving every day), as treads will erode differently depending on a tire’s position on a vehicle.
It might seem impractical, though, to replace a full set of tires if only one is problematic. While the safest option is to replace all the tires if one is troublesome, there are ways in which you could replace only one and not put your safety at foolish risk. If you get a puncture mid-journey, you can fit the spare tire to get you to your destination, but it should then be replaced with a proper tire immediately. You could also get away with replacing just one tire if the new one exactly matches the specification of the others on your vehicle.
The infographic below from First Aid Wheels outlines the dangers of mismatched tires and how you can lower the risk of being involved in an accident by ensuring that all your tires are consistent.
