The following is the most recent installment of the Concord Journal/Wicked Local Concord Volunteer of the Week, where we spotlight members of the community who have made significant contributions as volunteers.

This week, the spotlight shines on Concord resident and Council on Aging volunteer Peter Boeing.

Can you explain your volunteer work?

I chose to volunteer as a handy man for the COA when most of what I do is install the lock boxes which allow the Police and Fire departments to enter a dwelling if there is an emergency. I do get involved with other fixes (small repairs) for people that need them.

How did you get started?

I basically did so because I knew that in later years I would eventually need their services and thought I should build some good will.

What keeps you coming back?

The work gives me the opportunity to meet new friends and re-visit some old ones.

What is/was your profession?

I retired from the publishing business nine years ago.

What is your life like in Concord? Family? Children? Lifelong resident or recent arrival?

My wife and I have lived here for 32 years and between us we have two sons, a daughter, three granddaughters and a grandson.

From the COA

Peter tossed his volunteer cap to the COA in 2010. He initially offered his "handyman" services and those quickly evolved into Peter becoming Concords official LockBox installer. The LockBox program is available to all Concord seniors age 60+ who request a lockbox be installed on their homes which holds a house key inside. The key can be accessed only by the Concord Fire Department and police in case of concern and emergency. Peter has avidly installed a few hundred lockboxes in his tenure; he never allows bad weather to deter him, he is concerned every senior who requests a box be served and seniors report he is immensely helpful and considerate. Peter quietly and dutifully performs a superb service to Concord seniors. -- Vikki Jacobson, volunteer and public relations coordinator

Volunteer of the Week: Concord resident Peter Boeing - Wicked Local Concord

If youve ever had a plant then you know its pretty much like having a child or a pet in terms of how much you care for them. You want to ensure that theyre well fed and that theyre put in a safe place, and that you keep them alive for as long as you can. Many people talk to and play music for their plants, and apparently it really does make a difference.

Some people have just a couple of indoor plants, while others have gardens full of plants and even trees because they love nature so much. Generally, its easier to care for a garden by having professionals coming in to do the mowing at least. Professional lawn careers at MyLawnCare suggest you pick known local companies that can offer an array of services from simple lawn mowing, hedge trimming, even up to regular gardening. This is great for busy people who do not have the time to get their hands dirty, but want to maintain a lawns aesthetics.

If you dont know how to care for your plants in the winter, then its most likely that they will die. This is why were going to give you a couple of tips to help you take care of your plants in the winter time.

In the winter the plants do consume as much water, and this is because they are mostly dormant, so you need to lessen the amount of water provided, and how often you do it. The best way to tell is to check if the soil is dry- if its more than an inch dry, then you need to water it. Its very important that you dont over-water your plants because by doing do you are literally drowning them. You get the roots to grow fungi and by doing so, youre pretty much killing them, not the cold!

Because being able to get warmth and heat through the suns rays are so hard during the winter time, its important that you keep the plant clean from the layers of dirt and dust that tend to collect on the surface. By doing so, its much easier for the plant to absorb what it needs from the sunlight.

Plants require up to 50% humidity, and we know that in the winter, theres barely any humidity at all. You should get a humidifier for your plants because this will go a long way in getting through the cold weather and winter months. Plants need the moisture from the humidity to survive, so this is an extremely important factor. If all else fails and you dont have a humidifier, consider keeping your plants in the warmest room in the house, which will most likely be the kitchen or perhaps in the living room where theres a fireplace on.

Winter is known for its miserly amounts of sunlight, and this is something that is essential for plants to grow. This is why its important that you find an alternative method to provide your plants with the light that they need. Invest in some full-spectrum bulbs and have them directed at your plants for a couple of hours every day. Ideally, for your plants to get the amount of light that they need, you should have the lights on them for between 12 to 14 hours a day.

Plants get affected by the cold weather- the cold breeze affects them in a negative way because weve already established that they need warmth. All the efforts that youre making to create a warm atmosphere with lighting and humidity will go to waste if theres a breeze coming in from anywhere. This is why you need to ensure that the doors and windows are sealed tight to not even let the smallest hint of wind get in.

Ensuring that your plants stay alive through the whole year requires some work. And especially when it comes to the winter time and cold and gloomy weather in general, its important that you take the necessary precautions so that youre well prepared. You need to make sure that you keep the tips mentioned above in mind, and also learn more about the kind of plants that you have. Different plants require different amounts of water and certain care that you need to be aware of, such as what kind of soil they use and whether they require lots of light or if they can survive with less.

These 5 Austin Companies Raised Nearly $70 Million Total in November - Built In Austin

DUBLIN, Dec. 3, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Garden and Lawn Tractors Market - Global Outlook and Forecast 2019-2024" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global garden and lawn tractors market is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 3% during the forecast period 2018-2024

The global garden and lawn tractors market has witnessed significant growth in the last few years. The increasing number of golf courses, coupled with the growth in the green space, is expected to drive the demand for garden and lawn tractors favorably. With the increase in consumer spending toward landscaping services and other recreational activities, the demand is expected to increase during the forecast period. Moreover, government initiatives for improving the green space, which includes developing parks, garden areas, recreational areas, are further expected to propel the demand for gardening equipment.

One of the key focus of the landscaping management and construction industry includes the implementation of environmental-efficient practices and equipment. With the increasing need to follow sustainability practices, key vendors are engaged in offering solutions such as hybrid fleet, integrated pest management, soil and water conservation techniques, eco-friendly landscaping processes, along with the increasing usage of battery-powered equipment. With the rising interest in landscaping services, consumers are expected to spend on landscaping equipment, thereby propelling the demand for outdoor power equipment or tools.

Garden and Lawn Tractors Market: Segmentation

This research report includes detailed market segmentation by products, fuel type, application, drive type, horsepower, and geography.

Increasing investments in landscaping services and sports and recreational activities are expected to increase the demand for garden and lawn tractors in the commercial outdoor power equipment segment. Factors such as changing consumer behavior, technological advancements, along with regulations are expected to impart fundamental changes, thereby propelling lawn care and landscaping services to change accordingly. With the advent of technology, equipment such as garden and lawn tractors are expected to witness demand during the forecast period.

Garden tractors are expected to witness significant growth in demand during the forecast period. This can be attributed to the increasing progression in technology, which is offering several functions and operations (spreading fertilizer, mowing process, sweeping leaves, and removal of snow). These machines are being preferred for heavy-duty tasks owing to their easy maneuverability features.

Vendors are introducing equipment that offer excellent cutting performance, grass handling options along with superior cutting quality. Garden and lawn tractor equipment are gaining prominence among professionals and semi-professionals as they offer better handling capabilities.

The gas-powered garden and lawn tractors dominated the market in 2018. The rise in the yard landscaping services in different regions is increasing the demand for this equipment. Professionals and semi-professionals prefer Gas-powered equipment due to their enhanced features and capabilities. These tractors take less time to mow yard areas. Therefore, these machines are expected to perform significantly well on rugged and challenging terrains. Reducing energy prices is also expected to propel the demand for gas-powered tractors.

The electric-powered garden and lawn tractors segment is expected to witness growth at a considerable rate during the forecast period. The increasing demand for sustainable or eco-friendly solutions in the gardening sector is another driver for market growth. With low maintenance, the demand for electric-powered equipment is expected to increase.

Further, the segment is likely to observe considerable sales growth during the forecast period as these machines offer more cost-saving benefits than gas-powered models. The demand for sustainable and environment-friendly equipment is growing among professional landscapers, which is expected to witness a significant rise during the forecast period.

Residential users opt for lawn and garden tractors as they offer comfort, convenience, and enhanced performance. Therefore, factors such as storage, portability, and safety are usually the deciding factors for residential end-users. The usage of battery-powered and electric-powered tractors is also expected to witness considerable demand among household users in developed countries. Moreover, the introduction of productive and profitable lawn and garden products is likely to contribute to market growth.

2-wheel tractors perform different types of tasks and are the most viable option in the residential sector. As these tractors offer enhanced productivity, and the ease of operation, the demand for two-wheel drivers is likely to increase during the forecast period. Furthermore, these equipment perform multiple tasks, which increase their popularity and acceptance among end-users, thereby impacting the overall sale. The 4-wheeled drive segment is expected to grow at a CAGR of over 3% during the period 2018-2024

Garden and lawn tractors are delivered via manufacturers, dealers & distributors, retailers, and online stores. A majority of manufacturers do not sell their products directly to end-users. They rely on retailers, representatives, distributors, sales agents, and intermediaries. Distributors account for the majority share in the market. Distribution channels are expected to impact the sale of products.

Manufacturers are also engaged in selling their products through retail distribution, via independent distributors and dealers, mass merchants, and consumer home centers. The entry of new market players offers an opportunity for retailers to capture the distribution channel. Major market players focus on retailers to reach the customer base. In a few countries, the residential segment products are mainly sold via distributors. However, with advancements in technology, online distribution channels are expected to gain prominence during the forecast period.

Key Vendor Analysis

The global garden and lawn tractors market is currently highly concentrated with several local and global players in the market. The rapidly changing technological environment could adversely affect vendors as customers expect continual innovations and upgrades in the garden and lawn tractors domain.

Market players are emphasizing the adoption of energy-efficient products due to the increasing trend of low carbon emission. Manufacturers are identifying market opportunities, thereby setting up certain goals to achieve productivity. Vendors are to alter and refine their unique value proposition to achieve a strong market presence.

One of the key strategies implemented by market players includes the introduction of differentiated products and solutions. Hence, companies strive to offer differentiated channels for distribution and better product mix, thereby catering to the changing needs and requirements of the target customers in the market.

Sometimes the greatest truths make no sense. Thats not just a paradox, its also the definition of one.

Finding the truth at the heart of certain contradictions may be the best way to move forward.

Here is a list of paradoxes about the modern world of technology and work. Besides providing work-type entertainment, this list is intended to make a larger point about contending with the great technological changes of our time: When youre in a landscape of technological novelty as dramatically different as ours is from even the recent past (Pocket computer smartphones! Cloud computing! Artificial intelligence!), locating the major landmarks can be a challenge. Some features are too novel to be well comprehended or applied. Language that described the previous world struggles to describe interactions of the new.

Finding the truth at the heart of certain contradictions may be the best way to move forward. Here are some attempts at new ways of seeing, via illuminating paradoxes:

1.The worlds biggest computer is also the most personal.

The big clouds are global computing systems with over a million servers apiece, cleverly networked to represent millions more computers. At any given time, millions and billions of people are diving in and out of these systems, enjoying their email, their version of the internet, their business experience, etc. No two users are the same, and a service like Google Cloud strives to anticipate particular business and personal needssome configured by the user, some utilize artificial intelligence agents that enable people to write and find documents more effectively.

By comparison, servers and PCs, sold individually by the millions, have traditionally deliveredimpersonal experiences. The more individualized experiences that we enjoy through these devices today derive largely from the connection of servers and PCs to the cloud, infusing what was limited and cold with unbounded potential for customization.

2.In a digital world of eternal storage, vanishing analog moments rule.

A couple of years back, I calculated that 100 years ago, it cost about $30 in todays money both to see the opera star Enrico Caruso and to buy one of his records. These days, recorded music is basically free on YouTube or other services, and the average price of a ticket for Springsteen on Broadway was almost $1,800 on the open market.

I believe that the reason for this, and the reason for the explosion of conferences and live business events, is that as the number of digital moments has exploded, authentic human moments have become relatively scarce. Adding to the irony, we are seeing smart ways companies are using digital technology to make the human experience more vivid, like when a sports company offers an app for a better experience navigating a sports stadium.

This observation brings me to the next paradox.

3.The jobs are going! Here come the jobs!

Theres significant concern that millions of people will have their lives turned upside down by robots and artificial intelligence (AI). Maybe so, though predictions are mixedthis well-researched McKinsey study projected both major job losses and major job gains.

While weve seen some robots doing relatively simple tasks, like moving things around warehouses, the impact on manual labor so far has been relatively smalland for good reason. Jobs like mowing a lawn or driving a truck turn out to require a lot of contextual judgement.

Meantime, the Bureau of Labor Statistics says there are now about 357,000 personal trainers in the U.S., and the category is expected to grow at 13% over the next decade, faster than the average job. There are 160,000 massage therapists, growing at 22%. And 55,000 marriage and family therapists, growing 22%. You get the picture: Were putting more money toward people who look at us, touch us, and listen to us the way machines dont.

And thats before we get to the jobs that didnt exist 15 years ago: drone pilot, mobile app developer, social media manager, machine learning specialistyou get the idea.

4.Specialize, especially by focusing on general relationships.

In our new data-centric world, software developers who are also experts in a companys core business are often highly valued. Thats because connected products, the digital expression of that core business, now collect information about the products performance in real time, and developers can build in adjustments based on user demands or changing market conditions.

As AI becomes more important, domain-specific data plays an increasingly critical role in how products are built and optimized. The most successful developers have not just the domain expertise of a specialist, but an understanding of what data around that domain matters most, how its collected, and how to keep it free of bias. Its the reason that big technology companies increasingly employ experts in healthcare or transportation or retail, for example, rather than simply hiring engineers with generalized skill sets. No data stands alone, and how things relate matters too.

5.Information is easy. Questions are hard.

A related point to the above: AI can move through unimaginable amounts of data, finding previously unknown patterns and insights. That doesnt mean the patterns are valuable, as this entertaining chart shows. If you take all of your companys data, petabytes of it, and only focus on demanding that it make you more money, youre likely to end up with garbage.

Ask specific questions, however, prioritized based on a companys core competitive advantages and the best-quality data, and youll likely get the most useful results. This can be difficult, but is critically important to deriving real value from data.

6.The only certainty is approximation.

Im lifting this one from an observation by Jeff Dean, the head of Googles research and AI efforts. He notes that advanced AI, like deep learning, doesnt indicate decisions based on certainty, but on likelihood (what he terms gradient points in the direction of improvement). Moreover, given the many layers and sequences of a deep learning system, sometimes its hard to figure out exactly how the system came to its conclusion. Its a machine that isnt always good at explaining itself, unlike, say, a car engine, which can be observed and understood with a lot of certainty (a little bit of gasoline is ignited by a spark plug, causing a piston to move).

In a world increasingly dependent on statistical approximation, many of our existing legal and social rules, which are premised on an illusion of certainty, may be challenged.

7.In an uncertain new world thats full of cutting-edge technology, the best advice can be found in an 85-year-old religious poem.

T.S. Eliot nailed our situation in one of the choruses from The Rock: They constantly try to escape / From the darkness outside and within / By dreaming of systems so perfect that no one will need to be good.

In other words, no matter how much we understand and perfect the world, well all still have the hard work of trying to be good. Machines dont fix that.

As a kid, I would park myself in front of the TV to play games,usually close enough that I could reach out and put my grubby hands on the screen.My father, probably frustrated that he couldnt watch TV for dads, like extremeprofessional lawn mowing tournaments or something, always said that when I grewinto an adult, I wouldnt care about playing games anymore. How very wrong hewas.

CLAYTON, MO The St. Louis County woman found dead in Lincoln County three weeks ago had searched the internet for what to do if your husband is upset you are pregnant. That information was posted by our partners at the Post-Dispatch, citing police search warrants.

Jennifer Rothwells husband, Beau Rothwell, 28, is being held at the St. Louis County Justice Center without bond. He is charged with second-degree murder and tampering with physical evidence in connection with his wifes death.

Sources have told Fox 2/News 11 that Jennifer, 28, was pregnant when she died, and Beau Rothwell was having an affair.

The Post reports preliminary autopsy findings suggest Jennifer died of blunt force injuries to her head. A final cause of death has not yet been determined.

Based on Missouri law, St. Louis County Prosecuting Attorney Wesley Bell has the option to seek murder charges in connection with the death of the fetus. A spokesperson with Bells office told Fox 2/News 11 they have not seen an official autopsy report and would not comment until they had.

According to St. Louis County police, Rothwell reported Jennifer missing November 12th. Her car was later found abandoned near Olive Boulevard and Fee Fee Road.

Rothwell was arrested on November 13th after investigators determined he was seen on video purchasing cleaning supplies like bleach, carpet cleaner, and gloves on November 11th.

On the day of Rothwells arrest, investigators found Jennifers blood on the carpet and padding along with bleach-soaked carpeting in the couples St. Louis County home.

On November 18th, Rothwell and his attorney gave investigators information which led them to search a stretch of

Highway 61 in Lincoln County. Police found Jennifers body late that night.

Carpet Cleaning Machine Market Regulations and Competitive Landscape Outlook to 2019-2025 - The Market Expedition

WHILE some young boys dream of growing up to become an astronaut, a football player or a cowboy, Edward Greany wanted nothing more than to own a dry cleaners an unusual dream, he will admit, but one that had stolen his heart.

A passion for cleaning and quality service followed Mr Greany, 68, throughout his life, and after 20 years owning and running Rockhamptons Jet Dry Cleaners, he and his wife Rita, 65, have now decided to sell up, with a prominent local figure taking over.

(They) had just had dry cleaning done and Rita approached (them) about buying the dry cleaners, Mr Greany said.

One day, (they) called and she put in an offer, which Rita accepted.

After suffering with ill health over the past few years, and suffering a small heart attack in March, Mr Greany and his wife decided it was time to retire and start travelling Grey Nomad style.

With grandchildren around Central Queensland, Brisbane and Mackay, and their first great grandchild on the way, the time was right to hit the road in their caravan.

The couple will also head to Fiji for Christmas, Western Australian in February and New Zealand for a cruise in April.

We finished up on October 31, which for me finished about 40 years of being self-employed, Mr Greany said.

Were very relieved and relaxed.

The business has been with the family through highs and lows, including Cyclone Marcia in 2015, when the couple ran the business out of their home with a generator.

Some of their customers includes emergency services, namely police officers.

Mr Greany started his working life at Jets in 1968, and fell in love with dry cleaning.

It may sound strange but thats the way it happened, he said.

I left and ran Jackos Cakes and Pies, visiting Bajool, Mount Morgan, Rockhampton, Raglan, Marmor, Bouldercombe and Yeppoon, in the early 70s in the back of a panel van.

Then we had a couple of milk runs around Rockhampton and the dry cleaners came up for sale.

It was a bit of a childhood dream. All the equipment was pretty old so we got in there, upgraded the equipment, made money and then sold it after five kids we didnt have enough time.

After a stint in carpet cleaning, and then commercial cleaning for 11-and-a-half-years, the dry cleaners came back on the market.

It had been a big part of my life. I had worked in a couple of laundries and gained a fair bit of knowledge but with dry cleaning there has been a lot of trial and error I was self-taught, Mr Greany said.

Ive loved every minute of it. Its our baby.
