The voluntary recall includes bear spray canisters that do not expire until 2024.
Personal Safety brand SABRE last week recalled some canisters of its Frontiersman bear spray, noting that affected products may fail to discharge “during a time of need.” The brand said the affected canisters have a yellow nozzle and expiration date codes — listed on the bottom of the can — between February and June 2024. According to SABRE, anyone who owns a canister of Frontiersman bear spray that meets both of those criteria should perform a test burst to confirm whether or not the product is faulty. To test your spray (if it meets the above criteria), check out this tutorial...
AI Rides To Rescue Of Analog Accounting Processe
s The problems are analog. The paper check, the paper invoice, slow accounts receivable (AR) processes and collecting on aging receivables can be difficult for even the most seasoned AR professionals. But digital-era help is on the way. Michael Shields, business line executive at FIS, told PYMNTS in a recent interview that artificial intelligence (AI) can streamline and modernize the order-to-cash process and improve collections on outstanding invoices, freeing up resources for innovation and improving relationships between buyers and suppliers. Shields noted that accurately predicting anticipated invoice payment dates can have ripple effects throughout an organization. “No company is really...
Now that panic buying of toilet paper and hand sanitizer is subsiding, people are moving on to the next phase of panic buying: hair clippers
Sales are moving at a fast clip. Hair dye is also a hot seller. COVID gray is an official color. Home barbers and hairstylists are sprouting everywhere. I am among them. I’m even contemplating a salon name. My two top contenders are “It’ll Grow” and “Oops!” A neighbor cut her husband’s hair with kitchen scissors and a comb. She started the cut two weeks ago and still hasn’t finished. Every time she sees a spot she missed she tells him to sit still and cuts a little more. His complaint is that he has no hair on top. The man...
How a control tower works: Managing takeoffs and landings
This story is the second installment of a two-part story about how control towers work. We previously covered how the tower controls aircraft on the ground. Air traffic control towers loom above airports worldwide. Some of them are spectacularly designed; there’s even a coffee table book dedicated to visually stunning examples. One that’s unique in appearance (and apparently “controversial” when it was built in 1996) is LAX’s sun-bathed control tower, standing some 277 feet above the ground. I recently visited the tower and met with the team there to learn how they work. It was fascinating. LAX Tower has 36...
Mere mortals have to wait until November 1 to feast their eyes on The Irishman, but plenty of critics have already seen Martin Scorsese’s latest
Their verdict? Across the board, the Netflix film is getting rave reviews and the most surprising thing about those reviews is that not only do critics say the movie is great, it’s funny to boot. In theory, we should expect this movie to be good. On paper, Scorsese directing De Niro, Pacino, Pesci in a film about organized crime sounds incredible. It’s not like this crew lacks experience in mob movies, and tackling the disappearance of Jimmy freakin’ Hoffa is the kind of storyline you’d want this murderer’s row to tackle. What these early reviews are telling us that the...
