Incorporating New Ideas into the Food Industry

NY Weekly Staff on October 12, 2022

The food processing industry is a mature sector experiencing a turbulent period due to the growing global demands for food safety, increasing food insecurity, and consumer demand for higher quality and sustainability. Recently, the demand for the food industry to upgrade has increased with the population. There is a significant economic impact of getting food safety wrong if modern food supply chains are incorrectly assessed, and risk mitigation is absent. Even a small impact on a supply chain can have a large economic influence. 

In many countries, the food processing industry is a major contributor to the health of the national economy. The capital expenditure for automation in the global industrial food and beverage is approximately US$19 billion. The food and beverage industry strives in a very dynamic mass consumer market with many competitors. Therefore, and its products must continue to be innovative and cost-competitive. Food demand is expected to increase anywhere between 59% to 98% by 2050. 

With the increased demand, so much has changed in the food and beverage world in a relatively short time frame. The COVID-19 pandemic has tested the food industry’s supply chains. For instance, delays and shortages of food supply occurred, which made the appearance of the industry weak. Meanwhile, innovative technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) devices, and the blockchain have emerged and are already being applied by food and beverage businesses. 

Joel Albrizio, with the same objective, brought a great digitalization revolution to the food industry. Being a talented mind, he completed his education at Massachusetts College of Art and Design. Later on, he strengthened his name in the digital marketing world. He started his marketing career over 40 years ago. He always believed that digitalization, with its immediate deployment power and creative photography and videos, would make a considerable difference in the food retailing industry. 

Albrizio started a company named “Bad-Adz Digital” and “Prepared Food Photos” to provide the food industry with a touch of digitalization. Bad-Adz Digital is created to help food stores and restaurants target greater audiences. Bad-Adz facilitates these stores by sending an email to the targeted areas. The email constitutes all the information about any newly released items or services in the stores and attracts customers with its fancy writing, unique styles, and inclusion of videos. It not only elevates buyers’ interest but also drives them to visit the stores.  Food retailers taking advantage of what the email can offer will find ad release lead times reduced considerably.  Supply chain issues that may disrupt the delivery of items advertised in traditional print formats, can now be eliminated due to the ability to alter an ad up to its deployment.  This forward-thinking approach will strengthen the industry’s perception to consumers. 

One of Bad-Adz strengths is programs driving customer service to make the supermarket unique in its own marketing area.

The platform is not only restricted to email service but also promotes food stores on social media. As the power of social media for getting the words out in the world is, in fact, undeniable. The food stores only have to send the zip codes of the areas it wants to target, and Bad-Adz Digital will perform the rest of the magic by itself. 

The inspiration of Albrizio behind this venture was that he always wanted to innovate and start something new and unique. He aimed to thread on areas of marketing that had never been accomplished before. Thus, he made restless efforts to succeed in the digital marketing industry and came up with his exemplary vision of combining the food industry and digitalization. Albrizio brought an exceptional revolution in the culinary world and fulfilled people’s ever-growing demands for food consumption by facilitating them to explore new trends in the food market with just a simple click on the screen. 

His efforts have revolutionized the food industry and set an example for the people trying to come up with ideas that have never been accomplished before. Albrizio is still making efforts to expand Bad-Adz services and enable the world to witness the power of digitalization.

With The Signature Style, Rock Band from Moscow Changed Rock Music

NY Weekly Staff on October 12, 2022

Among human actions, listening to music is one of the most mysterious. Passion for music is not a new phenomenon. There are a lot of people who admire it. Every known society on earth appears to have practiced music in some form. Many different types of scholars have pondered the nature of music throughout history. It includes many aspects people aspire to know if they are music fans.

Rhythm is a fundamental component of all music. If there is no underlying rhythm to the sounds, no matter what sounds you combine, it is not music. With the addition of electric instruments, the rhythm and blues (R&B), jazz, and country music genres are combined to create the well-known rock ‘n’ roll style. The genre was first connected to rebellion and transgression among young people. Its lively performances, earworm tunes, and frequently incisive lyrics are renowned.

Following the trend, the American rock group “Silent Theory,” from Moscow, Idaho, practiced rock n roll music that became their specialty. Mitch and Scott’s brothers and George Swanger, Robert James, and Nick Osborn, launched their band in 2010. Black Tie Affair, the band’s debut album, was recorded and released in 2011 after they were signed to Turkey Vulture Records in 2010.

Rock’ n’ Roll Music

Most rock songs have a verse-chorus format and are often in the 4/4-time signature. It is typically played by bands having at least one singer, an electric guitar, a bass guitar, and drums. Rock song lyrics can cover many topics but frequently touch on issues like politics, society, and love. Not every work of art is praised in the world, and not everyone understands the art of music, but then few people understand the value of music.

There are a lot of bands today who are the real stars, and now competition for bands has increased. Bands that caught people’s attention are now the masters. Knowing the importance, everyone tries to give their best. Similarly, the band Silent Theory gained notoriety when the first single from the group reached the radio and YouTube charts. It became the group’s first video to surpass one million views. Paul Crosby Management, a founding member of Saliva, signed the band in 2021.

The Art Of Discography

The 1930s saw a rise in the term “discography” among jazz record collectors. Jazz aficionados undertook their research and self-published discographies about the history of jazz music, including the performers who played on various recordings. A compilation of all the recordings made by a particular artist or group often organized chronologically, is a classic example. A comprehensive list allows individuals to identify the tapes they are missing. It can also draw attention to uncommon recordings or stylistic shifts.

Three studio albums, Black Tie Affair, Delusions, and Hunt or Be Hunted, have been published by the group of boys (Silent Theory) since 2014. 

The recent release of a Jon Kuritz-directed music video by Silent Theory is the song, Before the Storm, a song about addiction. Then, in 2021, they made a music video for Shaking the Cages, one of their singles. Dawson Scholz was the director and producer of Shaking the Cages.

Motivation for Young Artists

Rock music could help unite young people of color and whites in their communities through the shared appreciation of the same theme and youth culture. In addition to a particular genre of music coming from black neighborhoods becoming immensely popular, black performers were also making progress on the music charts.

In 2016, the song Fragile Minds by Silent Theory peaked at 97 on Mediabase Active-Rock radio and 29 on Under the Radar. Shaking Cages peaked at number 6 on Foundations in 2021 and number 22 on Billboard/BDS radio in 2018. 

Watch Me Burn peaked at number 67 on Media Base Active-Rock radio in 2018. In 2021, their single The Price peaked at number 44 on Mediabase Active-Rock radio, reaching 47 on Billboard/BDS and 41 on BDS/Indicator, while Flicker peaked at 42 on BDS Indicator and 29 on Foundations. Additionally, they were given the 2016 Band of the Year award by Krave Radio and the 2017 Up-and-Coming Band of 2016 honor by 94.1 KMFL.

Trauma Recovery and Mindset Coach Lucie Mitchell Helps Women Overcome Their Past Trauma Through Fierce and Beautiful Wellness

NY Weekly Staff on October 12, 2022

The subject of trauma has been difficult to grasp, especially for the many victims left debilitated by tragic events. Traumatic experiences can manifest into deep-seated emotions and cause vastly different effects based on the individual and how they react to it. Fortunately, with time and perseverance, trauma can be shelved deep in our memory banks until it is possible to feel connected with one’s life again. Fortunately, Lucie Mitchell, the owner of Fierce and Beautiful Wellness, is here to help women navigate their traumatic experiences, taking things one day at a time and nurturing them so they can overcome their past.

Truthfully, it is incredibly challenging to regain one’s composure once trauma has clouded an individual’s judgment. Often, people find it extremely hard to feel connected with life again, hampering their life choices and coping strategies. After a traumatic experience, it is extremely common, and even expected, for people to have reduced problem-solving skills, an inability to make decisions, as well as reduced levels of concentration.

Lucie Mitchell knows that there are many ways to get better, and they are adamant about educating victims of trauma that there are steps they can follow to regain control of their lives. As the saying goes: “time heals all wounds.” These traumatic events may never be erased, but in time, the distressing emotions and body sensations associated with the experience can be integrated as a part of a victim’s life rather than becoming the sole focus.

“It is possible for you to be able to manage your reactions in a way that gradually you will be able to claim back much of your functional life, even though your life after trauma may be quite different to life before. This is understandable, as the trauma has confronted you with aspects of yourself and your life that previously you may not have been aware of. It may help to gently shift your focus – not forgetting the trauma, but starting to see beyond it,” explained Lucie Mitchell.

While the entire process might be daunting, the healing process can be very fulfilling with the right therapeutic support and a clear open mindset to engage and trust the process. Lucie Mitchell readily accepts clients with open arms as she offers one on one coaching sessions, 10-day Nutritional Cleanses, 21-day Nutritional Cleanses, Emotional Eating Workshops, and so much more.

The first step in the healing process just takes a free Discovery Call with Lucie Mitchell in an effort to get to know her clients and establish a deep and meaningful connection deeper with them. “I am always open to talk about what is working or NOT working for my clients. And would love to connect with them at any given moment!” shared Lucie Mitchell. “I am on a mission to help women who have discovered they haven’t been putting themselves first. I would love to hear from you and what you struggle with. My doors and heart are always open for business, and it is my life mission to help you, my soul sister, feel the emotional freedom that I now feel.”

That Jewish Family: Utilizing Social Media to Show the Genuine and Authentic Life of Jewish Orthodox Nomads

NY Weekly Staff on October 12, 2022

The advent of social media has brought about several exciting changes in the world. For example, more and more people have gotten into sharing their lives with their online following through vlogs. While these web videos are undoubtedly a fantastic form of entertainment, they are much more than that. In fact, one inspiring family is remarkably utilizing their online presence to educate others about their faith and lifestyle: Raizel and Daniel Namdar, more popularly known as That Jewish Family.

The young family is the first-ever Jewish Orthodox Nomads to show the rare mix of a Chassidic and Nomadic lifestyle. What motivated the intuitive couple to start their channel was the lack of representation of the Nomadic way of living in mainstream media. As such, they have made it their mission to raise awareness and provide audiences insight into a genuine Orthodox Jewish life.

As Raizel and Daniel insightfully explained, “So much of the Orthodox Jewish world is unknown, and stories that are filmed or written about are usually scripted and written to fit a certain narrative. So for the first time ever, we are showing the world how we live for real, in a genuine and non-scripted manner. Which we show on our channel, That Jewish Family.”

Because of their captivating videos and educational content, the family has earned a massive following across various social media platforms. On Instagram alone, they have a staggering follower count of over 84,000. On top of that, they have over 15,000 subscribers on YouTube, over 41,000 followers on TikTok, and over 50,000 followers on Facebook. Just this past month, The Jewish Family had over 17 million views across all platforms.

Unlike most other vloggers who deliberately curate a seemingly perfect life for the camera, That Jewish Family has dedicated themselves to showing authentic content to their community. In addition, what sets them apart is their passion for educating people about Judaism and their Orthodox Jewish life. Not only that, but their videos are lighthearted and fun while being informative and educational, a perfect combination that excellently captivates viewers.

Aside from teaching people about their faith, customs and traditions, Raizel and Daniel also openly talk about various aspects of their day-to-day life, such as relationship dynamics and raising their child. The couple even generously uploaded their wedding video, providing audiences a glimpse of an Orthodox Hasidic Jewish wedding.

That Jewish Family has undoubtedly blazed a trail that promotes inclusivity and understanding. Through their solid online presence, they have started the much-needed conversation about the importance of learning about the different cultures and lifestyles around the world.

Moving forward, they remain steadfast in their vision of educating their followers not only about their life as Jewish Orthodox Nomads. But most importantly, they intend to continue advocating for love, respect, and understanding. As Raizel and Daniel Namdar meaningfully explained, “We want to give the world the chance to come together. Yes, we are different, our lifestyle is not your average, but if we all understood each other, then this world would be much closer together.”

Autumn brought good news. With 100 million subscribers, the YouTube channel Like Nastya has become one of the most subscribed and followed channels for kids and families and one of TOP-5 most-viewed YouTube channels in the world. Launched in 2016, the channel focused primarily on content for kids, telling viewers about Nastya’s life, her trips to amusement parks around the world, toys unpacking, and more.

The content has been evolving, the videos playfully cover very important social topics and provide educational entertainment for kids and parents. Among them bullying at school, relationships with parents, and tips to make new friends. Families can find support in these videos and realize that they are not alone in problem situations.

In addition to 100 million subscribers on Youtube, Like Nastya’s Instagram account reached 500,000 followers this year.

The Miami-based family consists of 8-year-old Nastya and her parents, Yuri and Anna Radzinsky. According to Nastya’s father, the videos resonate strongly with their audience. “When working on content creation, there is no room for burnout or boredom. Market penetration is very high. For example, nearly every 3rd child out of 10 in the age group from 0 to 10 years old watches the Like Nastya channel in the United States and India, every 4th in Mexico and Indonesia, and every 5th in Brazil and Vietnam. Being a creator and an influencer is a big responsibility”- Yuri said. “We are always open to the new, and it is a great pleasure for us to provide subscribers with new formats. For example, we work closely with a psychologist, Ph.D. with specialization in child psychology, to deliver not only fun but also useful content for our followers”.

It didn’t take long for the couple to realize that their channel’s subscribers thirsted for more than just Nastya’s natural enthusiasm. Anna, Nastya’s mum says: “To reach 100M followers we constantly follow the trends. It is important to understand what barriers children have today and address them. We are also listening carefully to Nastya’s suggestions for videos, she perfectly understands what is relevant for her age. Regular content uploads and a strong team are also important for success.” 

The YouTube channel has turned into a serious business since starting as a series of funny home videos. The team is working on content creation daily, new videos are uploaded 3 times per week, and the Radzinskys have had to hire an entire staff to cope with demand, including screenwriters, trendwatchers, producers, montage, and motion design editors.

To make the videos more accessible, the Radzinskys began to translate them all, adding English subtitles first and then Spanish and Arabic. The Like Nastya project has 21 channels in 19 languages. The most viewed content is the content made for the age group from 2 to 8 years old kids and their parents.

Like Nastya is a complex ecosystem that is constantly looking for opportunities to scale the brand and find new touchpoints with the target audience.

Meet Mark Ricci – Actor/Writer/Producer of Movie Man Mark and Six Side Studios

NY Weekly Staff on October 11, 2022

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mark Ricci. 

Q: Mark, share your story with us. How did you get your start?

I grew up in a household of 4 in the Greater Toronto Area. I was the “wild kid” in school unless I had a teacher that scared me. I played hockey on the weekends but did it because my friends did it. I found it semi-enjoyable, but more like as a once-or-twice-a-month thing, not 6 times a month. And don’t get me started with soccer in the summer. You could find me picking dandelions while I was supposed to be defending the goalie.

I loved watching movies, especially the behind-the-scenes featurettes on the DVD. There’s a home video of me watching the behind-the-scenes documentary of “Monsters, Inc.” at 4 years old. I was utterly fascinated with the process and wanted to learn more. I always reenacted scenes from my favorite movies at family get-togethers and found items around the house to create costumes. One example that comes to mind is throwing together a Woody hat and an oversized gray jacket to portray Inspector Gadget. There was never any question that I would join this industry.

Q: What were your first opportunities in this industry, and tell me about the recent jobs you have done.

My parents were wise enough to put me into theater camp around age 8. I really felt like I was in my element. And that allowed me to audition for Disney, YTV, and Teletoon television shows, because the casting directors went through the camp to look for kids. That’s how I ended up with my first 3 gigs, Skatoony, Splatalot and Japanizi: Going Going Gong. A few years later, I signed with my first agency and landed Discovery channel shows Fear Thy Neighbor, Web of Lies, If I Should Die, as well as national and worldwide commercials for Beyblade, Little Potatoes, Zelle, and Swiss Chalet. I also dived into the world of animation, landing a main role on the Netflix series Fireman Sam and the film Fireman Sam: Set for Action, which grossed $2 million overseas. I also just did a voice on the Warner Bros. animation show Super Wish!

Q: Tell us about your producing role on your YouTube channel and Six Side Studios.

One of the things artists will learn during their journey is that there is a lot of downtime between jobs, so it’s great if you can create your own content. YouTube has been a life changing platform for me, allowing me to create a brand for myself on Movie Man Mark and also star and write for the Spider-Man fan films on Six Side Studios. Both channels have a very different pace and tone. Movie Man Mark has consistent improv-style adventures whereas it takes sometimes 6 months to a year to create content on Six Side Studios because we are creating all-out feature-length films. I get to experience the best of both worlds as a producer and actor, which is very fulfilling creatively.

Kitting and Assembly Solutions is Helping Promotional Companies Increase Sales This Holiday Season

NY Weekly Staff on October 11, 2022

As the holiday season approaches, promotional companies across the country are gearing up for what will surely be a busy time of the year. As orders continue to come in, many promotional companies discover that completing the kitting, assembly, and shipping procedures with an in-house team can be time-consuming and a burden on their resources. Most of all, it prevents them from scaling in a way that can truly move the needle in sales and revenue.

For promotional companies looking to make an impact this holiday season, Kitting and Assembly Solutions can help with cost-effective shipping and assembly services. This reduces the company’s need for physical space and storage by providing off-site assembly, storage, and shipping options. Their robust team is able to complete the kit-building process quickly and efficiently, ensuring that all marketing, promotional, and special event items – including last-minute projects – are completed with expert precision for on-time delivery.

Kitting and Assembly Solutions not only saves companies time and money with their assembly and shipping services, but they also provide customer support and guidance, enabling companies to select the most cost-effective services to fit their unique needs. 

Many companies and retailers believe that they should continue their kitting and assembly processes in-house – mistakenly believing that this is the more cost-effective strategy. However, by outsourcing to a professional company like Kitting and Assembly Solutions, they can lower their operation and labor costs as well as delegate time-consuming processes to experts who can handle their products safely, efficiently, and quickly. 

By freeing up these resources, companies are now able to focus on other business processes, increasing sales and revenue and ultimately growing their customer base. Kitting and Assembly is led by founder Todd Peters, who has decades of experience in the field. As a trusted resource for companies across the country, Kitting and Assembly Solutions is prepared to help promotional companies thrive this holiday season.

For companies that are looking to scale their business but are hindered by their in-house fulfillment processes, now is the right time to consider the benefits of partnering with a professional preparation center. Kitting and Assembly Solutions is the premier prep center for Amazon FBA fulfillment, kitting, assembly, and shipping. The Denver-based company is centrally located within the US, making it easy to receive inventory, label, barcode, and ship products to consumers anywhere in the country.

For promotional companies and retailers working through Amazon, Kitting and Assembly Solutions can handle the entire fulfillment process, saving time, effort, and valuable resources with expert services that meet Amazon’s strict requirements for FBA sales. Their experienced team is involved from start to finish, saving corporations time and removing the manual work necessary to physically ship items. As a result, Kitting and Assembly Solutions empowers companies to concentrate on their core business strategies, develop new products, and increase sales.

Relationships Matter: How Mackin Talent is Changing the Staffing Industry for the Better

NY Weekly Staff on October 11, 2022

While staffing agencies are critical aspects of the workforce, they often focus on filling positions for their client partners – without enough attention paid to the employees and their welfare. At Mackin Talent, they are on a mission to change that. Their commitment to contingent employees has earned them the respect and admiration of companies ranging from tech start-ups to some of the world’s largest organizations. 

Mackin is armed with five reliable teams; engagement, talent acquisition, finance, operations, and the leadership team. The leadership team includes Andy Mackin (Chief Executive Officer), Leniece Lane (Chief Marketing Officer), and Fiona Donnelly (Chief Operations Officer).

Mackin Talent is committed to providing its employees with the best possible service and offering them a warm and welcoming work environment. One of the standout examples of this is in their benefit offerings. All employees, whether placed at a client company or working directly for Mackin, receive access to the same benefits, something that is often overlooked in the staffing industry.  

In addition, they have a focus on learning and career development. Every employee is given access to LinkedIn learning, empowering them to upskill and build their careers. Mackin believes in helping their employees succeed; on this note, they provide monthly check-ins, actionable steps, and encouragements, contrary to most staffing agencies whose contact with their employees is very limited and usually occurs at the start and end of the contract. 

Mackin’s efforts have dramatically minimized labor turnover; some employees have been with Mackin for over five years. Some have left but then returned due to the company culture and values that guide their business. During their time with Mackin, many employees have tremendously scaled their careers and developed skills that put them in a better position for promotions and higher-level opportunities. 

They also offer clients exceptional services. They fully assess the organization’s needs, ensuring they place only the right people in the correct positions, thus making the recruiting and hiring process fast and easy while removing the stress and guesswork that often comes when hiring new employees. Mackin also offers consulting services that can help both large and small companies make smart decisions when upscaling their labor force.
