Planning the Perfect Holiday Party – Virtually!

by Tamiko Zablith

Tis the season to celebrate. Whilst celebrations may look different this year, there is no reason to cancel the festivities. With some clever planning and advanced preparation, a virtual event could be (nearly) equally as festive. Yet, after nearly a year of video rather than face to face contact, the last thing party goers want is ‘another Zoom meeting’. To combat this, virtual holiday parties should involve high levels of participation.

Create an event that is easy to attend, entertaining and enjoyable.

Make it feel special
A holiday virtual party should feel as festive as an in-person event.
Set a theme. This will allow guests to look forward to something specific and special.
If hosting your event on Zoom, use a virtual background to set the mis en scene for your theme.

Set a dress code
Even though many people have engaged in dressing from the waist up over the past several months, this is probably more of an occasion to get fully dressed, since you may wish to move away from your computer screen.

Send invitations
Whether you organise an e-vite or attach a file to your personal email, an invitation sets the tone for your event. Carefully select a template and text that highlights the theme or mood you would like to create.

Create a timeline
While you can typically rely on energy level, location and ambiance to guide the festivities of an in-person party, without the benefits of these, a virtual party could quickly decline. The invitation should clearly state the start and end times (an hour should be enough) and, as host, you should have several activities or conversation starters planned in advance, along with a clear idea of how you will open and close the party.

If you would like your guests to join in some festive online games, manage their expectations by letting them know what they will be doing. (This should also be alluded to in the invitation.) Send surprise packs that everyone receives in the post. Send items or required supplies to your guests in advance and be sure to package them well. The party starts as soon as the parcel arrives. Be creative. Party favours can also be included. If you require some items to be opened beforehand and others later on, wrap them separately and label the opening date and/or time. Everyone loves a little suspense.

Make introductions
Hosting comes with significant responsibility. Just as a host would greet each guest upon arrival in person, a virtual event requires the same level of welcome as well as skilled introductions. Equally, unlike at a face-to-face party where people can arrive at different times and naturally begin to break off into smaller conversations, on virtual platforms, such gatherings must be strategically organised and orchestrated.

Keep the conversation flowing
Another role of an esteemed host is to ensure there are no lulls in the conversation, that no one monopolizes it and that any uncomfortable situations are quickly, and diplomatically, smoothed over. Whilst this has been a politically charged year, a festive gathering is not the time to discuss it. Should hard lines find their way into the party conversation, a good statement to use includes “Sometimes we have to agree to disagree”.

Music
Is it a party without music? Many of the conferencing facilities are sensitive to background noise, so be imaginative and perhaps create a playlist and share it. Spotify are currently running a Beta test for group sessions, which you can use through the app, meaning you and your guests can listen along at the same time.

Timing is everything
Unlike a face-to-face party that could carry on for hours, most people would agree that one hour is sufficient for a virtual event.

Happy Holidays!

The Many Benefits of Walking

Life changed dramatically in 2020. When the World Health Organization declared a COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020, hundreds of millions of people across the globe were forced to change how they go about their daily lives, including how they exercise.

Health-conscious adults accustomed to exercising at local gyms had to find new ways to exercise in the wake of the pandemic. Many gyms were forced to close in areas hit hard by COVID-19, and that left many people without access to fitness equipment like weights and cardiovascular machines. Resilient men and women soon found ways to exercise, and many of them embraced walking.

Though walking might not provide the same level of intensity that fitness enthusiasts are accustomed to, the Arthritis Foundation® notes the various ways walking benefits the body.

· Walking protects against heart disease and stroke. Walking strengthens the heart and protects it against heart disease. The AF also notes that walking lowers blood pressure. In fact, post-menopausal women who walk just one to two miles per day can lower their blood pressure by nearly 11 points in 24 weeks, while women who walk for 30 minutes a day can reduce their risk of stroke by 20 percent.

· Walking strengthens the bones. New York-based Plancher Orthopedics and Sports Medicine notes that walking can stop the loss of bone mass for people with osteoporosis. In addition, post-menopausal women who incorporate 30 minutes of walking into their daily fitness regimens can reduce their risk of hip fractures by 40 percent.

· Walking can extend your life. The AF notes that one study linked walking to longer life expectancy, finding that people who exercise regularly in their fifties and sixties were 35 percent less likely to die over the next eight years than people who never walked.

· Walking can improve mood. One study from researchers at California State University, Long Beach, found that the more steps people taking during the day, the better their moods were.

· Walking can lower risk for cognitive decline. Walking also has been linked to a lower risk for age-related cognitive decline. A study from the University of Virginia Health System found that men between the ages of 71 and 93 who walked more than a quarter of a mile per day had half the incidence of dementia and Alzheimer’s disease compared to men who walked less. In addition, a study from researchers at the University of California, San Francisco, found that age-related memory decline was lower among women ages 65 and older who walked 2.5 miles per day than it was among women who walked less than half a mile per week.

Foot traffic increased as people were forced to find new ways to exercise during the COVID-19 pandemic. Walking is a great way to stay in shape and even provides some lesser known benefits for people who walk each day.

The History of January 1st

January 1st was not always the start of the New Year! 

Celebrating the new year on January 1 is a relatively recent phenomenon. The calendar as we know it today has evolved several times and months have gone by different names. On the early Roman calendar, March was the first month of the 10-month calendar. That is why the last four months of the year have prefixes that coordinate with the seventh (September), eighth (October), ninth (November), and tenth (December) numerals. King Numa Pompilius reformed the calendar around 700 BCE by adding the months of January and February to the original 10 months. But the calendar still required some additional tweaking to be more aligned with the seasons. In 46 B.C., Julius Caesar introduced a solar-based calendar that was an improvement on the ancient Roman one, which was lunar-based. During this time, the month of Quintilis was renamed July in honor of Julius Caesar and Sextilis was renamed August in honor of Augustus. Shortly after the introduction of the solar calendar, the beginning of the year was moved from March 1 to January 1.

Worldwide Business Funding!

We can arrange Senior and Sub-debt Worldwide financing for companies who cannot obtain adequate bank financing.  Our proprietary associations and colleagues operate as an international clearinghouse, representing several hundred non-­ traditional money sources that are specifically geared to fund troubled or growing companies. These are generally non-bank lenders that provide financing to companies who cannot obtain adequate capital to further develop or maintain their businesses.

Client Profile:
Any company or entity that is unable to secure commercial financing through traditional sources particularly if funding needs are immediate. (i.e., developmental stage companies or companies with losses, negative net worth, tax liens, chapter 11, personal credit problems of principals, etc.). In general, clients will need between 1% -5% of funding request on hand.

Loan Range:
$1,000,000.00 and Up

No Upfront Fees:
We require a small retainer that will be credited against our closing fee, but only after the client has received and accepted our funding sources proposal with specific terms and conditions outlining the financing. Those terms will be based on the client’s representations made on one of our funding worksheets. The initial work that we perform on any new account is at our expense and involves an internal review and analysis of the transaction followed by further review with a specific lender/ investment firm. The lender will be selected on the basis of your industry type, geographic location, loan size, credit profile, type and mix of collateral, etc. The lender must express a defined interest in providing a proposal with specific terms, based on the representations that have been made by the client. We work on a non-exclusive basis and the borrower may choose to accept other financing or pursue other available options at a later date that would preclude a closing from occurring. In that event, the retainer will have covered our costs. This is non-negotiable.

Funding Services Fees:
We typically earn a success fee at closing of 1% to 3% on the funded amount, determined primarily by the loan size but also by the type of transaction and other factors.
