Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Ray Berry had planned to open his new taproom and brewing facility in downtown Springfield in May. His White Lion Brewing Co. hes president of the operation had been contract-brewing its beers in Ipswich and Williamsburg since its launch in 2014, and the new Tower Square location was under full-bore construction last month.

But even the best-laid plans are on hold in the time of coronavirus.

When I caught up with Berry a few days ago, he shared that uncertainty. One day at a time, were the first words he offered. Thats all we can do.

Construction continues, but not at the aggressive pace of a few weeks ago. Brewer Mike Yates was recently on site doing some plumbing work, Berry says, but youre not seeing eight or nine employees in there anymore; its one or two.

Because of the economic downturn and the evaporation of on-premise beer sales which makes up 38 percent of White Lions portfolio the company has laid off two of its seven full-time employees, and moved the remaining five employees to part-time.

The original plan for a May taproom opening is probably out the window, Berry says. Realistically, theres no rush on my end. No one wants to have a brand new facility open when there are restrictions in place about coming in to enjoy it.

Across the craft beer market, this new reality is sinking in. According to a mid-March survey conducted by the not-for-profit Brewers Association to which nearly 1,000 American breweries responded 99 percent of the countrys craft breweries have been substantially impacted by the spread of the coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19.

The numbers arent pretty, writes Bart Watson, the associations staff economist. Because so many breweries sell a high percentage of their beer through their taproom or brewpub, and draught sales make up roughly a third of craft production, the rapid shuttering or restriction of breweries, bars and restaurants has drastically cut short-term cash flow as well as production in the medium-term.

Watson also points out that the cancellation of live events at breweries creates an additional pain point for these businesses. Although concerts, private parties, craft and trivia nights, and other space rentals have commonly helped to smooth over periods of slow beer sales, the closing of that revenue stream has compounded the problem.

The result: 95 percent of respondents project their year-over-year beer sales to decrease in April. Roughly 60 percent have slowed their brewing schedule, and 28 percent have hit the stop button completely on production. About 61 percent of respondents anticipate layoffs, and another 28 percent are unsure of the staffing decisions they will have to make.

This is not, of course, just an American problem. German independent brewers say theyre losing up to 90 percent of sales across Berlin. In late March, Australian brewers warned that extensive shutdowns would deplete the countrys supply of beer within a few weeks. And Irelands craft breweries, which rely heavily on a thriving pub scene, are similarly struggling with a catastrophic drop in demand as borders and bars have closed.

Nor is this just a small business crisis. Anheuser-Busch InBev, the worlds largest brewer, is forecasting its worst quarter in a decade due to the coronavirus (and is now shifting a chunk of its efforts to the production and charitable distribution of bottles of hand sanitizer). Many distilleries small and large, including Bacardi, are now focusing on making ethanol and alcohol-based disinfectants.

Even craft breweries of a certain size can add systemic support. Samuel Adams launched its Restaurant Strong Fund on March 18, in partnership with the Greg Hill Foundation, to support restaurant workers. In its first week, the fund had raised nearly $500,000 in individual donations, all of which has now been distributed. Sam Adams will look to expand the funds reach over the coming weeks to support restaurant workers in 19 additional states.

Closer to home, Valley brewers and brewery owners have needed to quickly find ways to adapt their plans to a sea change in the economy and strict state measures that discourage in-person sales and gathering in groups not to mention bottlenecks in the supply chain (the 32-ounce aluminum cans called crowlers, for example, are largely on back order).

The local beer CSA Stoneman Brewery, which owner Justin Korby has been hoping to move off his Colrain property and into a larger space at the Warfield House Inn in Charlemont this spring, launched anonline fundraising campaign on March 11. Hours later, stocks plunged, and the Dow Jones Industrial Average ended that day in a bear market.

Korby pivoted quickly. Over the next two months, Stoneman will focus on fundraising for a side project that Korby developed and designed this winter: a portable trailer that can be towed and set up quickly as a pop-up bar, for flexible use at beer gardens and festivals. Stoneman also continues to contract-brew locally, which means Korbys beers are still available at grocery and package stores.

As long as Im open to the public and selling beer somewhere, Ill be able to keep my business alive, Korby told the Greenfield Recorder in late March. He pointed to the motto printed on the back of his cans of Warfield Dream IPA: Victory is surviving long enough to tell ones tale.

Many local breweries have converted their on-premise sales into a system of pre-order and curbside pickup. When a family member of mine was craving some In Absentia, an IPA produced by Brick and Feather Brewery in Turners Falls, he was pleased to discover that the company had quickly made this transition.

He reserved several four-packs of canned beer, paid online, then picked up his order that afternoon, making minimal contact with the staffer seated behind a table in the brewerys entryway. Craft beer fans who want to support small businesses (and, really, who doesnt?) can find similar updates on local breweries social media accounts, which seem to be more active than ever.

Craft beer also survives thanks to its symbiosis with bars and restaurants, virtually all of which are hurting. Gov. CharlieBaker introduced a bill in late March that would allow for restaurants with current liquor licenses to sell closed containers of beer and wine alongside meals ordered for takeout and delivery a measure that several states, including Connecticut and New Hampshire, have already adopted. The Massachusetts House and Senate passed the bill last Monday.

But for many bars and restaurants, that wont be enough to ward off the possibility of permanent closure. Although $2 trillion of federal stimulus money will help small and independent breweries with loans and forgiveness programs, the hard fact remains that roughly 55 percent of American craft beer is sold either on draft or at the brewery itself. For now, that majority slice of profits is gone.

The Peoples Pint in Greenfield has been closed since mid-March. Although the brewery continues to produce canned beer, the restaurants indefinite hiatus and the resulting layoffs in the bar and front-of-house staff have left a deep mark, says brewery manager Chris Sellers.

Theres no way to gloss over the difficulty that were feeling, he says, adding that the Pints on-premise sales have always contributed the bulk of its profits. Its really hard to say to our family of employees: We dont know where this is going to go.

The brewery is currently operating on a skeleton crew and setting strategies week by week.

Fortunately, package stores remain open, Sellers says, and its exciting to see that people are still buying our beers wholesale. Its a small but significant percentage of our revenue, so we dont have to put a full stop to everything.

The Pint is seeing an outpouring of encouragement online, Sellers says, which helps his crew move forward. Craft breweries have never worked on a one-size-fits-all model, he says. Even before this happened, Ive seen so many different versions of successful business plans for breweries. But this will definitely shift a growing industry. Business plans and outlooks have to evolve.

At Amherst Brewing, the majority of sales have typically come from draft pours at the brewery and its several Hangar Pub and Grill locations around the Valley, says head brewer Caleb Hiliadis.

Now, were adjusting to a package model, he says. Pretty much everything is going into cans, and we have as much of it going to package stores as possible. Thats been a big shift for us. I feel for every restaurant right now.

Brewing, by nature, requires weeks of planning. We want our beer to be fresh all the time, Hiliadis says. But is our distributor going to take it next week? You cant be sure. And a lot of package stores are just trying to run through their inventory, which means they arent buying a lot in. Everything is fragile.

As a result, Hiliadis is doing his best to play it a bit safe.

We have a new experimental hoppy beer out, he says, but were not introducing a lot of new beers at the moment. Were just trying to make a good product that people can enjoy in trying times. And when we reopen, Id prefer to start with a little less beer than normal, rather than make too much and just be sitting on it.

Its tough to have to switch lanes all of a sudden, he adds. But in craft beer, everyone always tries to stay nimble. Its not like you can predict everything. But our industry changes all the time. So, weve always had to think: what if? Thats the reality for everyone now.

This is why Sellers at the Peoples Pint is encouraging people to locate the brewery nearest to home, and go buy their beer.

A lot of breweries really rely on their taproom business, and I worry that if were not supportive now, some will struggle to survive after this, he says. We want this community to come out of this strong. And maybe people can step outside the box a little bit and try something new from a brewery that they havent had before.

Were a strong micro-economy in the state, and were able to be fairly flexible, he adds. Thats what keeps me confident about the Massachusetts beer industry. In all my travels, talking to brewers, Ive seen that its such a resilient, creative, awesome group of people. If anybody can shift gears quickly and come up with a cool solution to a complex problem, its the beer business.

Detailed Insights into the Singapore Building Construction Market to 2024 - Identify Growth Segments and Target Specific Opportunities -...

Topgolf, the national chain of high-tech driving range and entertainment venues, was coming to Birmingham. In December 2016, the company, along with St. Louis-based ARCO Murray Construction Inc., signed an inclusion agreement with the City of Birmingham with a goal of 30 percent participation by minority- and women-owned firms in the construction of the huge facility on land lying just east of the Birmingham-Jefferson County Convention Center.

As an incentive, the city, in a separate project agreement, promised Top Golf a minimum annual payment of $228,000, or 30 percent of sales tax revenue, up to a cap of $1.5 million, to meet the goal.

Apparently, Topgolf and ARCO Murray shanked.

In a letter to Topgolf dated May 28, 2019, and obtained by AL.com, Birmingham mayor Randall Woodfin revealed Topgolf and Arco Murray, based on its own documentation, had spent $601,919.99 with minority- and women-owned firms to complete the $24.6 million project$17.1 million of which was building costs, while $7.5 was listed as other related costs.

That calculated to be 3.52 percent of construction costs spent with minority firms, and 2.5 percent of total project costs, the letter outlined.

Topgolf and ARCO Murray did not come close to meeting those goals, Woodfin wrote.

As a result, the city terminated its project agreement with Topgolf and ARCO Murray and did not pay the incentive.

my administration, the mayor continued, has determined that Topgolf and ARCO Murray have failed to demonstrate any substantial level of effort to comply with the expectations represented by Top Golf in its project agreement with the City of Birmingham. Therefore, we are terminating the agreement.

AL.com reached out to Topgolf for comment and is awaiting a reply.

Our city has been relatively aggressive in identifying and providing incentives to businesses that are a good fit for Birmingham, says Clinton Woods, Birmingham District 1 City Councilor. "But in doing so it is imperative that we ensure that those businesses hold up their end of the bargain and in the instances where they dont, we must hold them accountable. Going forward I am very optimistic that Topgolf will continue to be a major attraction in our city.

On Tuesday, nearly a year later, the Birmingham City Council passed the mayors proposal to re-allocate the $228,000 slated for Topgolf in the citys FY20 budget as part of a $1 million investment in the second component of the Bham Strong stimulus package to support workers who have lost their jobs, while solving public health problems created by COVID-19, according to a presentation made to the councils Budget and Finance Committee on Monday afternoon.

The remainder of the $1 million is funded with $499,000 from the Office of Innovation and Economic Opportunity, along with $215,000 previously budgeted for a similar incentive agreement with the restaurant Pappadeaux Seafood Kitchen, which expired because the payout reached its cap amount; and $58,000 allocated for tax incentives to be paid to Brat Brot, which were deemed unachievable based on sales.

The initial arm of Bham Strong is a $2.4 million small business fund created to provide emergency low-interest loans to Birmingham businesses to help them weather the impact of the citys shelter-in-place ordinance created last month to help stem the spread of the novel coronavirus. As of late Monday, the virus has infected 597 people in Jefferson County and resulted in 15 deaths, according to the Alabama Department of Public Health.

The second component is the Birmingham Strong Service Corps. It provides paid volunteer opportunities to laid-off Birmingham workers to help fill needs bourn of the COVID-19 crisis. Among them: working call centers that check on residents of Birminghams 14 public housing communities, scanning for citizens that may be suffering symptoms of the virus (city says it has made 8,476 calls); providing rides to testing centers for residents without access to the facilities (in vehicles specially designed to protect the driver and passenger); and helping to feed Birmingham children who are out of school and the homeless.

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated and thus pulled back the veil on a wide variety of pre-existing disparities in our community, said District 5 City Councilor Darrell OQuinn. If convenient access to quality transportation, food, healthcare, education, etc. were difficult before, imagine how much more of a challenge those things are now with formalized social distancing as a result of Coronavirus.

Nearly 100 unemployed workers have already been redeployed to paid opportunities that support community needs, according to the Bham Strong presentation. These pilot projects are having a community impact while putting people back to work.

Every dollar will go in the pockets of Birmingham residents, reads the item on the councils Tuesday agenda, either as payment for service, food or other necessities.

This story will be updated.

After Topgolf shanked on minority- and women-owned participation in construction, Birmingham terminated tax i - AL.com

With EJ Montgomery officially staying in the draft, eight members of the 2019-20 Kentucky team are gone. Keion Brooks and Dontaie Allen are the only returning players on scholarship, and although John Calipari added one grad transfer to the roster already in Davion Mintz and has another No. 1 recruiting class coming in, this could be his biggest rebuilding job of all.

As first noted by Chris Fisher, the production Kentucky is losing is staggering:

Next years squad will be tasked with replacing the highest percentage of points and assists in the Calipari Era; the second highest percentage of minutes and blocks; and the third highest percentage of rebounds and steals. The only other squads that can compare are the 2012-13 team that had to follow the National Champions and the 2017-18 team that followed DeAaron Fox, Bam Adebayo, and Malik Monks run to the Elite Eight. Despite having the No. 1 or No. 2 recruiting classes coming in, the 2013 team went to the NIT (in large part due to Nerlens Noels injury) and the 2018 group lost in the Sweet 16.

Heres a look at the numbers and departures from each season of the Calipari Era:

2009-10 Departures:

John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe, Patrick Patterson, Daniel Orton, Perry Stevenson, Darnell Dodson, Ramon Harris, Mark Krebs

2010-11 Departures:

Brandon Knight, DeAndre Liggins, Josh Harrellson

2011-12 Departures:

Anthony Davis, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Doron Lamb, Terrence Jones, Marquis Teague, Darius Miller, Eloy Vargas

2012-13 Departures:

Nerlens Noel, Archie Goodwin, Kyle Wiltjer, Julius Mays, Twany Beckham, Ryan Harrow

2013-14 Departures:

Julius Randle, James Young, Jarrod Polson, Jon Hood

2014-15 Departures:

Devin Booker, Aaron Harrison, Andrew Harrison, Karl-Anthony Towns, Willie Cauley-Stein, Dakari Johnson, Trey Lyles, Sam Malone, Tod Lanter, Brian Long

2015-16 Departures:

Jamal Murray, Skal Labissiere, Tyler Ulis, Alex Poythress, Marcus Lee, Charles Matthews, EJ Floreal

2016-17 Departures:

DeAaron Fox, Malik Monk, Bam Adebayo, Isaiah Briscoe, Isaac Humphries, Derek Willis, Dominique Hawkins, Mychal Mulder

2017-18 Departures:

Kevin Knox, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, Hamidou Diallo, Jarred Vanderbilt, Wenyen Gabriel, Sacha Killeya-Jones, Tai Wynyard, Dillon Pulliam

2018-19 Departures:

PJ Washington, Tyler Herro, Keldon Johnson, Reid Travis, Quade Green (mid-year), Jemarl Baker, Brad Calipari, Jonny David

2019-20 Departures:

Tyrese Maxey, Ashton Hagans, Immanuel Quickley, Nick Richards, EJ Montgomery, Kahlil Whitney (mid-year), Johnny Juzang, Nate Sestina

BY THE NUMBERS: Kentucky must replace record amount of production - kentuckysportsradio.com

Real Madrid are likely to spend big in the summer to overhaul their squad in Zinedine Zidanes second spell as manager.

Zizou was brought back in March 2019 following some poor results by his replacement and there looks to be some changes ahead in the near future.

AFP or licensors

Madrid are just two points off Barcelona in LaLiga and still had the second leg of their last-16 Champions League tie with Man City to play when coronavirus halted football across the continent.

Despite splashing out on the likes of Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic last summer, Zidane is thought to be unhappy with his options and marquee signings could be made over the next two or three transfer windows.

Here is who theyve been linked with.

Reports in Spain have linked the Chelsea midfielder with a move to Real Madrid in the summer after remarkably being made surplus to requirements by Frank Lampard.

The English boss does have a wealth of midfield options to choose from including Jorginho, Matteo Kovacic, Ross Barkley, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Billy Gilmour and Mason Mount.

Kante is still one of the best defensive midfielders in the world and helped fire France to World Cup glory in 2018.

AFP or licensors

He was snapped up by Chelsea in 2016 for just 29million after winning the Premier League title with Leicester.

The Blues went on to win the league in his first season but he struggled with a more advanced role under Maurizio Sarri last season.

This campaign has been blighted by niggling injury problems that has limited him to just 18 Premier League games.

The 29-year-old could slot nicely into Zinedine Zidanes side in a midfield alongside Casemiro and Toni Kroos.

Luka Modric is 34 and Madrid will be looking towards the future as Zidane looks to rebuild his side.

The teenage sensation has been linked with a move to Real Madrid despite only having signed for Borussia Dortmund in January.

The striker has smashed in 12 goals in just 11 games for the German side following his move from Red Bull Salzburg, where he started the season with 28 goals in 22 games.

Bild has refuted the reports suggesting that he could be moving to Madrid in the immediate future.

He reportedly has a buyout clause of around 65m, which is an absolute bargain for someone of his talent and potential.

Haaland is unlikely to want to move again in the next transfer window but looking ahead to 2021 he could be on the move again.

Getty Images - Getty

Madrid long been admirers of Mbappe and was reportedly very close to joining the LaLiga giants before the coronavirus pandemic wreaked havoc across the globe.

Former PSG player Jerome Rothen claims Mbappe will leave the Ligue 1 club in the summer.

I know from sources that Mbappe almost signed forReal Madrid, he told Radio Monte Carlo.

With what is happening now, it is certain that Mbappes arrival at Real will be postponed.

In no case will there be an extension of Mbappes contract with PSG.

They will have an agreement between them in place because PSG agreed to let him go this summer. In my opinion, its just a question of time.

So a deal to take him to Madrid could still go ahead in the summer.

AFP or licensors

The Sun report that Real Madrid are still pursuing a move for Sadio Mane in the summer with Zidane pushing for a move for the Liverpool star.

Zidane is thought to be a huge fan of Mane but it could take a bid of around 150m to lure him away from Anfield.

The report also claims that if Mane were to head to Spain they would try and replace him with Mbappe.

So it could be a choice to make for Madrid, Mane or Mbappe in the summer.

Getty Images - Getty

4-3-3

Zidane would have the tough task of trying to fit Haaland, Eden Hazard and one of Mbappe or Mane into a front three. It means one would likely have to play out of position but they would still form a deadly trio.

Kante would slot easily into a midfield three alongside Toni Kroos and Casemiro.

Buildlineup.com

4-2-3-1

This formation would allow Mane or Mbappe to play on the left with Eden Hazard in the central role behind Haaland.

Rodrygo has been featuring plenty in his first season and could continue his development in this attacking quartet.

Kante would play alongside Casemiro in a very wily and disruptive midfield duo.

Buildmylineup.com

4-4-2

A classic formation that could allow Mbappe, or Mane, to play alongside Haaland as the two central strikers.

The young Norwegian, could form a big man/little man style relationship with his partner but its worth noting Haaland does not lack pace despite his size and this is what makes him so dangerous.

Hazard and Rodrygo would be the left and right wingers respectively with Kante and Casemiro the two central midfielders.

Lion Lock is a famous British fingerprint door lock brand having the Lion Head symbol with the desire to not only create a good locking product but also a product of "pride". That likes the pride of the male Lion King.

The birth of Lion Lock

The happening of industrial revolution in the late eighteenth century in UK helped the mechanic industry more developed. Metal locks and keys are manufactured with unprecedented complexity and sophistication.

In 1778 Robert Barron perfected the Lion Lock lift type . By 1818 Jeremiah Chubb had greatly improved the technique of the lift lock.

By 1821, the huge theft of property happened in Portsmouth Dockyard city that prompted the British Government to announce a produce competition of locks with additional alarm functions for property owners. In 1824, the researcher-Chubb Lion studied the basic Lion Lock fingerprint lock series successfully.

In 1861, Linus Yale, Bramah took inspiration from the old lock pattern to invent a new type of metal key with different short and long incisors. Integrate security technologies such as fingerprints, touch cards, face recognition are used for apartments' locks.

Although there are some improvements in the main design, the majority of the locks today are still variations of the designs invented by Bramah, Chubb Lion Lock and Yale.

Meaning of the Lion symbol

The lion is named the lord of all beings. There is no animal more powerful on the ground than it. Not even the tiger and the leopard can compare. The lion's charisma has the deep features of an emperor.

This is also the most popular feng shui item of the professions that use their mouth to make a living like Lawyers, Artists ... They often put a couple of lion statues in the office for illustrious reputation.

Fons Americanus was constructed with mostly recyclable materialslike reusable cork and woodin accordance with the Tates dedication to environmental sustainability. Last year, Walker told The Art Newspaper: I would hope some aspect of it would have another life. It has all the possibilities for living beyond its present [form]. Walkers previous monumental public artwork, A Subtlety, or the Marvelous Sugar Baby (2014), at Brooklyns Domino Sugar refinery, also ended in demolition.

Though the exhibition ended prematurely, video documentation of Walkers work can be viewed on Tates website.
