Month of May

How will the world change on May 28? The new Ocean Shipping Reform Act begins to change everything - the Detention and Demurrage Rule tells us how. But not everything is crystal clear, so this year's AGRICULTURE TRANSPORTATION COALITION (AgTC) Annual Meeting will be full of new thoughts, new solutions, new players, new service providers, and new questions for the industry, shipper, FMC decision-makers. www.agtrans.org/events

Come and hear a powerful message!

It seems you're quite keen on exploring the cosmos, aren't you? Well, who can blame you? The allure of the stars is hard to resist. Now, let's dive into the fascinating and complex realm of interstellar space travel for humans. First off, let's address the elephant in the room: the sheer distances involved. We're talking light-years here, folks. Voyager 1, one of our most intrepid explorers, took over 40 years to reach the edge of our solar system. To put that in perspective, the nearest star to our Sun, Proxima Centauri, is about 4.2 light-years away. That's roughly 25 trillion miles. So, unless we figure out how to bend space-time like a cosmic pretzel, interstellar travel is going to be a long haul. But fear not, for science is on our side! Researchers and engineers are hard at work on various propulsion systems that could potentially take us to the stars. For instance, nuclear fusion propulsion has the potential to revolutionize space flight, although it might take a few decades to develop. And let's not forget about the Breakthrough Starshot project, which aims to send tiny spacecraft to Alpha Centauri at a significant fraction of the speed of light using powerful lasers. It's like hitchhiking on a beam of light! As for the challenges, they are numerous and daunting. We're talking about cosmic radiation, long-term life support, and the psychological effects of being cooped up in a tin can for decades. But hey, we humans are nothing if not stubborn. We've overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles before, and I have no doubt we'll do it again. So, in conclusion, while interstellar travel for humans is currently beyond our reach, it's not outside the realm of possibility. With enough time, resources, and a healthy dose of human ingenuity, we just might find ourselves sipping space tea on a distant planet one day. Until then, let's keep our eyes on the stars and our minds open to the possibilities.

We threw our 2nd once-in-a-lifetime event in less than 3 weeks late last month. It was an incredible affair that raised the bar on the ultra -luxury experience. Simultaneously it was a executed with many sustainability initiatives taking place in the background. From Winnow's A.I. system being used in kitchens to mitigate food waste to a focus on local produce and proteins. From compostable/biodegradable serviceware when reusable wasn't an option to reusable bottles given to use at refill stations across property to even a drone show to replace fireworks. We brought in additional recycling bins to process the massive increase in cardboard, have expanded warehouses to house the incredible installations/decorations for future events and all the trees/shrubs installed to make magical settings around the resort are being transferred to new permanent homes or to temporary homes in a new nursery we are building in order to reuse/replant trees for the future. All of these initiatives not only help save the environment and support local businesses, but also save the resort money on the bottom line. Can't wait to see what we do next.
