The Bermuda Football Association (BFA) introduced the Coach Licensing Initiative in March 2016 which came into effect August 31st 2018. The Policy stipulates that all coaches must obtain the Bermuda Football Association Coaching License by no later than August 31st 2018. The Coaching License is required for Children (7-11), Youth (13-17) and Senior football (Expansion, First and Premier Division). There were 11 clubs who fell afoul of the policy.
During the recently held BFA Annual Congress Meeting the Coach Licensing Policy was addressed and a motion from the floor to reconsider the sanctions applicable for non-compliance was defeated by the clubs with no further motions put forward. As a result, the sanctions inclusive of match forfeitures where then communicated to the non-compliant clubs. A few days later following the Annual Congress Meeting representatives from the BFA Executive Council were invited to a Club Presidents meeting to receive a proposal from the Club Presidents.
Two Presidents representing the Clubs also attended a Special BFA Executive Council meeting to further discuss the proposal. The proposal did not alter the policy but provides additional time for the affected clubs to become compliant with the Coach Licensing requirements. Subsequently, a Special Congress meeting was organized to allow the Clubs to consider and vote upon the proposal. As a result, the Clubs voted to delay becoming compliant with the Coaching Licensing requirements until January 31st, 2019. Additionally, there will be no match forfeitures for the 2018 -2019 season.

Every goddamn day: 04/18/19: What do you get for a friend in rehab? This.
There are no "Hooray You're in Rehab!" cards, that I know of. There should be. Swapping a life that's gone off the rails for one that's functional, fulfilling and disciplined should be a cause for celebration, not shame.
Which is why I was delighted when my friend Lise Schleicher, who owns BasketWorks in Northbrook, suggested creating a One Day At a Time Recovery gift basket around my new book, Out of the Wreck I Rise: A Literary Companion to Recovery, written with Sara Bader. She's been doing land-office business with her Chicago Reads basket featuring my Chicago memoir, You Were Never in Chicago, and was looking to do some brand extension. And yes, I sign the books for those who want me to.
Lise consulted with me designing her basket, and I suggested the sweets—sugar touches the part of the brain that booze wallops, and you tend to go through a lot of candy in the early days of rehab. Coffee of course. And the "One Day at a Time" sign because you need that one-foot-in-front-of-the-other determination to get through those arduous first months of recovery.
And the book, which has been out now for about two months.. It's still getting notice—just last week Newcity ran a perceptive review by lit editor Toni Nealie. I also taped a podcast that I thought went very well for the Poetry Foundation which should be up any day. And in a few weeks Sara and I will go into the studio to cut a segment with Scott Simon for "All Things Considered" on NPR.
With gift-giving season approaching, I wanted to spotlight Lise's new basket. I've used her company before, and can attest that she's prompt and the baskets are wildly appreciated. Particularly under these circumstances, when a person tends to feel alone, facing a life radically different from the life they've become accustomed to. They could use some support, and nothing says, "I'm with you" like a basket of goodies. I believe this sort of thing could catch on. It's a great idea.
very cool idea -- it really is something to congratulate folks for!
This basket is beautiful! What a great idea. I know it (along with your book) will help a lot of people, just when they need it the most. The candy will help too. My Dad used to say the only time he had a taste for sweets was when he wasn't drinking. I also like the one day at a time mantra. I think having a saying you can look at daily really helps. Anytime I'm having a bad day I look at a message that says, "Please give me the strength to change the things I should, the patience to accept the things I can't change and the wisdom to know the difference."
Last year, I read an article about Emily McDowell, a woman who wrote greeting cards that said what the ones bought at Hallmark would never say, but that should be said to someone who is mourning or who is going through something difficult. Many of them are funny or sassy, making fun of the type of things people say to those who are ill or have suffered a loss. One of my favorites says "When life give you lemons, I won't tell you about my cousin's friend who died of lemons."
I guess lots of people read about her from the multiple write-ups and radio interviews she has done, and her cards are now being sold nationwide, and are at 25 stores in Chicago.
'Journey'. (Unless someone takes you on a cruise.)"
Rehab cards seem like a natural addition to her line - maybe you could suggest a writing partnership?
Maybe I should. Though I don't know if I could be as clever as she.
I love the gift basket concept. Taking the "shame" out of the discussion of rehab and replacing it with something encouraging and positive could be a real difference-maker.

Nothing Temporary Here: Pop-up Retail Is a Marketing Mainstay
Pop-up retail has been trending as a result of business owners looking to test new concepts, sites, markets and products in a low-risk, low-cost way.
By: Denise Power, Contributor

Pop music sensation BTS, celebrity chefs, Google, Amazon, retail icons like Nike and digitally native upstarts all play the pop-up store game – opening temporary retail spaces to amp up excitement.
Strategic objectives are as diverse as the players: BTS' May 2019 pop-up stores kick off a world tour to capitalize on fan mania for boy band merchandise. Chefs experiment with daring new culinary creations like Cheetos-infused dishes. Google offers free workshops while Nike's Atlanta pop-up, described as the "physical manifestation" of its mobile app, attracted a line of sneaker heads that snaked around a city block.
Meanwhile, Amazon's decision to close 87 pop-up kiosks is not viewed as a failed venture but rather a yearlong experiment, informing next moves in brick-and-mortar retailing including expansion of Amazon Books and Amazon 4-Star, which sells only products rated 4 stars or above on Amazon.com.
Off limits to no one, pop-up stores — some open only a few hours or days — have become a marketing mainstay. Their fleeting presence stokes curiosity for what may be a whirlwind romance or the beginning of an enduring relationship.
The universal thread linking all pop-up retailing initiatives is the drive to learn about consumers' evolving desires and to test new retail concepts, sites, markets and products – a low-risk, low-cost proposition. Conditions could not be better to give pop-ups a try: retail vacancies are at a seven-year high; short-term space rental marketplaces like PopUp Shops, Appear Here and Storefront make it easy for landlords and tenants to find each other; and shopping mall owners no longer insist on multi-year leases.
"There is absolutely no doubt right now that short term is the new long term," Storefront CEO Mohamed Haouache told NPR, noting malls that once let space sit vacant rather than accept a short-term lease have changed their tune. Kimco Realty, Simon Property Group and Westfield are among those now offering pop-up programs with flexible leasing terms unthinkable years ago, generating revenue and foot traffic for long-term mall tenants, too.
"There are many vacancies now in shopping centers and malls and these landlords are trying to figure this out, to reinvent themselves," PopUp Shops co-founder Barry Goldware told CO—. He said PopUp Shops may partner with a company that leases large spaces from malls and then divides, subleases and curates a group of pop-up operators that complement one another.
Location is everything. And you want a good location – within a location.
Barry Goldware, co-founder, PopUp Shops
If only you could pick your neighbors – wait, you can!
Favorable adjacencies is a priority for Bloomist CEO and co-founder Michael Zung, now halfway through a three-month pop-up in New York, the top destination for pop-up stores, according to research firm JLL.
When scouting out a pop-up location for Bloomist, which sells exquisite dried flowers and nature-inspired home décor, Zung visited a highly touted, trendy space but it lacked the atmosphere he sought and later found at Maman café and bakery, with its south of France, shabby chic ambiance. Zung's pop-up neighbors inside Maman, such as Le Boudoir, Apotheke and Rose & Rex, share an emphasis on fine goods and even the neutral color palette Bloomist favors.
"Maman was our vibe," he told CO—. "They have the profile as well. Maman is among the top 10 most Instagrammable cafés in the U.S., according to Zagat. They also were chosen by Oprah as having the best chocolate chip cookie."
PopUp Shops' Goldware underscored the importance of selecting a space that complements the brand, whether inside a bustling shopping mall, atop a 40-foot-long corrugated shipping container or even in an urban alleyway.
Location. Deal. But most important: What is the objective?
"Location is everything," Goldware said. "And you want a good location – within a location." He cautioned restraint if a coveted opportunity arises – such as a high-end mall, like Houston's famous Galleria – but the space available is on an upper floor that sees far less foot traffic than the main level.
"You've got to dig into the exposure," he said. "OK, you don't need millions of people walking by, but you want to make sure your customer is one of them."
After location, "It's deal. Deal. Deal," Goldware said. "People doing pop-ups need to understand financials, their gross margin. They need to know what they can afford to spend on rent and stick to that." Don't fall victim to the charm of a space if the numbers don't work out, he said.
Other aspects to carefully consider include merchandise presentation and, if selling apparel, a pre-fab dressing room, he said. Clear pricing and signage, well-trained staff and good lighting all make for an inviting atmosphere.
Perhaps most important is identifying the overarching objective, Goldware said. "Sit back and ask yourself: 'What is my true objective for this pop-up?'" Pick one and ensure all strategic decisions align with the goal, whether it's to expand to a new market, test a site that could become permanent, to launch a new product line, to elevate the brand or to clear out aging merchandise from a brick-and-mortar store.
"If you want to elevate your brand, then sales are not so important. It's exposure that is important. If you want to let the world know what a cool brand offering you have, you want them to come in and touch and feel the merchandise and truly appreciate the quality and style," Goldware continued. "You would not put old merchandise in there."
Zung's chief objective for Bloomist's pop-up is to collect feedback from shoppers interacting directly with merchandise, something not previously possible with the digitally native brand. Shopper questions such as, "Will this papier-mâché bowl hold water?" surprised Zung, who told CO—, "Of course it can't!" Observing shoppers interacting with merchandise reveals opportunities to refine online product descriptions, anticipate how consumers use home goods and suggest helpful solutions.
A secondary objective is to test a new product not currently sold on the Bloomist website. "We are thinking of putting online a unique dried flower called Protea, the national flower of South Africa. It's an ancient species, around since the dinosaur age," Zung said. If pop-up shoppers respond well to the Protea, he added, Bloomist may add it to the website.
Pop-up stores create excitement, showcase exclusivity, yield valuable customer insights and build trust – especially for online-only retail. "It's just great marketing," concluded Goldware.

These Are The Worst Michigan Cities To Drive In During Winter
Mark Frankhouse Published: December 13, 2021
Photo by Joseph Chan on Unsplash
We're about halfway through December and it seems like so far we're gonna avoid having any kind of serious snow in the first month of Winter. But if Michigan winters have taught us anything, it's that we still have roughly 4 months until we're out of the woods. For as beautiful as winter is in our state, the worst parts of it all is the commute to our jobs, stores and homes during heavy snowstorms. Our roads do not treat us kindly, and although our cities do the best job they can to keep them clear, it's the most brutal part of the year.
There are some cities that, for some reason or another are far worse than the rest, and these areas should be avoided at all costs. Of course, if you live in these cities there's just no what around it, so look at this list as a sympathy letter, considering we're most likely in one of them:
Battle Creek To Paw Paw
Anyone reading this not living in Southwest Michigan should know that I-94 is one of the most unforgiving highways during the winter, and massive back ups and multi-car accidents will absolutely slow traffic down to a crawl, so between these two cities please drive extra careful.
I used to have to take Telegraph Rd. to get the the radio station I worked at in Southfield and what was normally a 25 commute to work, ended up being 2 1/2 hours during a heavy snow day. That was almost as long as my time spent at the station. Getting off of 75 and driving past Woodward to this long road was a nightmare.
Rochester/Rochester Hills
As a kid who was raised and lived in Rochester, all I have to say are two words: Hall, Road. M-59's merger into Hall Rd. in Utica/ Sterling Heights is the thing that night terrors are made of. It's bad enough without snow, but with it? You may as well just stay home. The amount of business alone in the area has increased traffic to ridiculous amounts the last 10 years. Sure, The Big Bright Light Show is great, and during peak season the traffic is so heavy downtown, you'll have a great view of the lights from your car driving down Main St.

I mean, you can't really leave them off the list. It always seems like Detroit is in a perpetual state of construction, and with people driving terribly on top of bad weather, causes driving down here to be filled with anxiety.

If there's another city whose highway traffic can give Detroit a run for its money it's Grand Rapids. The twists, the turns and the speeders make driving here in winter as disaster. Side roads are heavily suggested.
You're Not A True Michigander Until You've Visited These 10 Cities
Michigan has so many amazing spots that it's hard to really pinpoint what the BEST cities are, but we can narrow them down to 10 that perfectly describes everything about our state that is so unique and awesome.
10 Southwest Michigan Small Town Restaurants You NEED To Visit
The nice thing about all these locations is that they'll take no more than an hour to get to and it's also a good chance to explore Southwest Michigan and do something off the beaten path. Here are 10 small town restaurants near us that you seriously need to check out:
