Benefit 1: Video helps to improve message retention

There are many alternative applications of technology that can enhance the training experience for employees delivering significant benefits to your organisation including cost efficiency and,more importantly,better retention and results.

Tech-based training is starting to steal a march on traditional instructor-led delivery and technology-based learning is expanding with the advent of AI,virtual reality and gamification. Perhaps the most ubiquitous adoption of technology within the training sphere is the incorporation of video. According to a Linked IN’s workplace report,seven out of 10 organisations now rely on video-based materials as part of their learning culture.

In an exploration of seven styles of learning Mindvalley’s Cheyenne Diaz highlights that the retention of facts is enhanced for visual learners by the inclusion of images and visual clues that help to reinforce the message.

Benefit 2: Video enables flexible delivery

Video offers huge flexibility when it is used in training delivery. In the workplace,in the classroom or as part of an awayday,video can be run anywhere,and can be viewed on an individual basis by anyone who has missed a group session. Mobile,distance or online learning that incorporates video can be accessed flexibly and played on demand. Video can be disseminated within email or utilised within a webinar as part of a live video conference. Interactivity can be promoted using a Q&A slot.

The variation in types of video is endless from screen-recorded demos and interactive animations to live action dramatisations,or a piece to camera by the CEO. Video can make use of music,sound effects or a sonic logo as well as bringing infographics to life.

Benefit 3: Video boosts audience engagement

Everyone absorbs information in different ways and it is wise to take account of whether your audience are social or solitary learners,or whether they respond to an auditory,physical or logical experience. For those who respond better to a visual stimulus,adding pictures to words helps recipients to retain your message for 55 per cent longer than just hearing it alone.

There is little doubt that video can really enhance the overall learning experience for all your staff because it appeals on so many levels. People simply enjoy watching video. Twenty-one per cent of people watch videos to learn something. Video promotes better engagement with training,encouraging your employees to identify with issues that are highly relevant within their own workplace. Using video increase viewers’ retention by three to six times compared with traditional communication methods.

Benefit 4: Video helps you to maximise resources

Using video has a very practical benefit in its ability to help make your training budget reach further. Filming a single trainer can serve to deliver essential information and skills across your entire organisation and is easily repeatable.

Avoid the inevitable quality fade of sending an individual trainer out on the road. Once they have delivered their best session,their motivation may slide. Or they might simply be having a bad day. Film them at their best and you will effectively be able to bottle the magic and disseminate the same messages to as wide an audience as you need. Using video makes sense as a great way to deliver high quality training without repeatedly paying out large sums for the privilege,allowing you to maximise your investment in bespoke materials.

Workforces are typically diverse with multiple sites,remote workers with some employees based on the shop floor and others in a customer-facing role. It is often difficult to hit all the targets with a single programme of training or updating,and video lends itself to matching the flexibility within your staff base.

Benefit 5: Video is adaptable for the context of your training

There are almost as many applications for video in training as there are types of video. Firstly,it is important to consider what type of video will work best for your audience. Think about the context first. Will your material be viewed online as part of a webinar? Perhaps your audience will be watching via mobile tech on the small screens of smartphones and tablets? It is important to take these factors into account when planning and producing your content to create the best viewing experience for your target audience.

Consider whether to use infographic elements to break down complicated concepts as part of an explainer. Done well these may not even need a voiceover which reduces the burden of production and gives the video universal reach including across international boundaries. Add personality through talking heads or active demonstrations to create engagement.

Benefit 6: Video works across multiple applications

Video training is used effectively across all industries and can be particularly helpful when precision and compliance is required. This might include the finance and banking sectors,or the medical profession,where procedures can be brought to life and the right way of doing something can be highlighted. Flight simulators have been in use by aircraft pilots for decades and there is no reason why any standardised process cannot be replicated and rolled out via video.

Perhaps one of the most effective uses of video in training is for health and safety applications. In an environment where operational safety is essential to avoid a high risk of harm,the precision and consistency of video can provide a boost to impact. In addition to staff training,video can be used within the workplace to act as an eye-catching reminder about safe behaviours as well as ensuring that visitors stay safe in high risk environments.

Training can start with basic induction and on-boarding for new team members. Using video is a great way to get the most essential messages across while at the same time conveying the essence of your company’s ethos and values. A positive experience of induction quickly helps new staff to develop a sense of belonging and promotes retention.

In addition to professional development,video can be used to launch new products and services,to demonstrate a new system or software,or to model best practice in customer service.

Benefit 7: Video works both on and offline

There are several ways to improve accessibility of your materials including publishing them online,including them in live streaming or via recorded webinars. Don’t forget that the medium of video also works offline. With developments in production technology,it is now possible to combine the benefits of video with the tangibility and personalisation of print.

You can create premium printed,but affordable,materials that incorporate an ultra-thin IPS video screen which plays automatically. Video can now be embedded within sophisticated brochures,static displays or almost any item that can be sent using direct mail. Each item can be personalised with ease for a location or individual recipient.

Including a tangible item as part of your course materials provides a reminder of the session and enables training delegates to revisit the classroom virtually at any time and re-live the training. Video brochures can complement face-to-face training if you record a training session and send it out as a follow-up tool. Video in print applications can be tailored for individual sites or depots,or even for individual colleagues depending on the level of investment.

Using it’s signature red rock landscape,crystal blue skies and endless sunshine Phoenix is a city where life is best lived outside. Whether you’re traveling to Phoenix for a business trip or to Scottsdale for a girlfriend getaway,the proximity of several mountains,the Sonoran Desert and a small number of lakes and rivers means you’re never too far from some outside adventures. So if you want red mountain hikes,crave a bit of culture or desire nothing more than to lounge in a poolside cabana in Scottsdale; there is no shortage of outside activities in Phoenix Pack your bags and take a look at some of the best things to do in Phoenix,Arizona.

Hiking in Phoenix

There is no doubt Phoenix provides some of the best urban hiking in the country. Where else can you hit the trails during the day with lots of time for a poolside cocktail at night? Camelback Mountain in Scottsdale is perhaps the best known hike in Phoenix but the nearby Usery Mountains,Tonto National Forest and Superstition Mountains have miles of trails waiting to be explored. While beautiful the desert can also be brutal; make sure you stay on marked trails,keep an eye out for wildlife (a snake bite is a sure way to ruin your day) and drink lots of water (make sure to bring along an eco-friendly reusable water bottle). With countless trails ranging flat and wheelchair accessible to 2,000 foot climbs that require scrambling and boulder hopping,some of the best hiking in Phoenix is only minutes from downtown.

Laze by the Pool in Scottsdale

When the Arizona sun brings temperatures into the triple digit range the only thing you really want to do is lounge by the pool with a fruity drink in hand and naturally Phoenix has elevated lazing by the pool into an art form. Scottsdale is well known for it’s top quality luxury resorts featuring over the top pools that are the perfect antidote to the blazing Sonoran sun. The Hyatt Regency Scottsdale features a 2.5 acre aquatic playground with 10 pools,20 fountains and a three-story tall tall high speed waterslide (take a look at my review for the Hyatt Regency Scottsdale); while the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess features six pools including one that has a 9,000 square foot white sand beach.

Horseback Riding in the McDowell Mountains

For a true taste of the wild west,cowboy up with the folks at Fort McDowell Adventures. Atop your trusty steed explore the sun-baked hills dotted with saguaro cactus and mesquite while real-deal cowboys share the history of the Yavapai Indians and tell tales of long lost gold mines. We-Ko-Pa Resort,a family friendly resort operated by the Yavapai Nation that boasts a pool with views of the nearby Red Mountains in addition to a cozy spa and an awardwinning casino,is the perfect place to rest your haunches after a day in the saddle.

Stand Up Paddle Board in Mesa

When you consider Arizona adventures stand up paddle boarding probably isn’t the primary thing that comes to mind but when the desert temperatures climb there is nothing like a day out on the water. With six lakes and a small number of rivers the Phoenix area offers ample opportunity to go out on the water. Get your rental board from the friendly folks at No Snow Stand Up Paddle in Mesa on your way out to Saguaro Lake. This two square mile lake,with views of the Four Peaks range of mountains,towering sandstone cliffs and namesake saguaro cacti lining the shores is among the most stunning places I’ve paddled. Lake Pleasant,a 10,000 acre lake popular for windsurfing and waterskiing,is just a 45 minute drive from downtown Phoenix.

Hot Air Balloon Ride in Phoenix

A hot air balloon ride tops many bucket lists and with over 300 days of sunshine per year and the beauty of the Sonoran Desert stretching out for miles Phoenix is among the best places in the US to make your ballooning dream a reality. Watching the sun rise from behind red rock mountains while gliding approximately 5,000 feet above the desert landscape is equal parts thrilling,magical and surreal and with a champagne brunch after you land this flight with Phoenix Hot Air Expeditions is one experience you won’t mind getting up early for. If you’re a first timer be sure to take a look at my tips for your first hot air balloon ride.

Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West

Including an architectural tour on a list of outside adventures may seem a bit odd,but hear me out. Taliesin West,the winter outpost of famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright,is where the architect’s signature brand of organic architecture is on full display. The home is equal parts Flintsones and mid-century modern while the history of Frank Lloyd Wright,his family and students (Taleisin West continues to act as an architectural school to today) are fascinating. Time your visit to Taleisin West for the evening for magnificent sunset views over Scottsdale and the surrounding McDowell Mountains.

Spend a Day Out on the Farm in Queen Creek

The deserts around Phoenix hold many surprises and one of the biggest for me was discovering the rich agricultural heritage of the farming communities near Mesa,Arizona on the Fresh Foodie Trail. Queen Creek Olive Mill,Arizona’s only working olive grove,offers a true farm-to-table experience using it’s olive press and cafe. At their Olive 101 class you can learn more about (and sample) the olive oil pressed on site then dine on casual Tuscan-inspired fare at the Mill’s onsite eatery. When it concerns peaches Georgia has nothing on Schnepf Farms,Arizona’s largest organic peach farm that has been run by the Schnepf family for over four generations. Over 250,000 visitors come by Schnepf Farms for juicy peaches straight from the tree,fresh baked peach pies and peach cinnamon rolls from their bakery,in addition to the numerous festivals the farm hosts throughout the year.

-

One of the most effective ways for online businesses to generate more leads and sales if email marketing. While it’s an excellent approach,it may take time before you can achieve increased email deliverability. The process goes beyond simply sending a promotional email and hoping to make an immediate sale. After all,some of these emails end up in spam folders,which can be a true nightmare for businesses. With the right practices and professional training in SEO,you’ll be able to increase email deliverability. Here are some of them:

Have a regular schedule

Email marketing is all about getting the right timing and frequency. If you’re not consistent,your subscribers are more likely to forget they’ve signed up to yours. Sending way too many,however,may backfire. The trick is to find the right balance. Try to come up with enough marketing materials so you’ll have something to send once a week.

Come up with non-spammy subject lines

What you write as your subject line will be a deciding factor as to whether or not a user will open your email. ISPs have gotten a lot better in filtering emails that contain certain catch phrases that cause emails to land in the spam folder. But,to stay on the safer side,it’s best to avoid these common spam phrases altogether,such as “Free,” “risk-free,” and “Click Now!” Emphasize the true value your email has to offer without appearing to salesy.

Send emails in batches

Of course,you’d want to reach as many potential customers as possible. But,instead of sending an email to everyone all at once,it’s best to do it in batches. This is to prevent ISPs from labelling your email as a spam. For increased email deliverability,send your first batch of email to users with the most number of engagements. These are the ones who are more likely to open your email and check out your offer.

Hemp and cannabis info-sites like - have certain writings regarding the renaissance of the cannabis plant as a viable health alternative to conventional treatments. Beyond the historical marijuana taboo,society has rediscovered the virtues of strains of cannabis that are actually non-psychoactive,provided they’re grown in a certain way. Here’s how a subtle update in Canadian law was one of the first steps to setting this renaissance in motion.

The passage of Bill C-8 in June 1996,resulted in the modification of the Canadian Drug Act decriminalizing the low () 9 tetrahydrocannabinol) ) 9 THC Cannabis,industrial hemp.

The Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) came into force on May 14 1997 replacing the Narcotic Control Act and Parts III and IV of the Food and Drugs Act and was published in March 12,1998 (Health Canada 1998) to permit the commercial cultivation of industrial hemp in Canada. This put into place the appropriate regulations for commercial industrial hemp production for fibre and grain in Canada for prospective growers,researchers and processors. Thus,in 1998,industrial hemp was again legally grown under the new regulations as a commercial crop in Canada.

These regulations allow for the controlled production,sale,movement,processing,exporting and importing of industrial hemp and hemp products that conform to conditions imposed by the regulations.

The harvested hemp straw (free from foliage) is no considered a controlled substance. However,any harvested industrial hemp grain is considered a controlled substance until denatured. Therefore appropriate licenses must be obtained from Health Canada for purchase/movement of any viable seed,commercial field production (over 4 hectares),research and processing of viable grain. Any food products processed from industrial hemp seed must not exceed 10 ppm of delta 9 THC.

Health Canada is preparing a new draft for the review of the existing Industrial Hemp Regulations (Health Canada,2001). To date this has not occurred. Speculations about new proposed regulation changes include clauses about volunteers,the status and disposal of “hemp dust”,and a new,lower level of allowable delta 9 THC in hemp grain and derivatives.

Health Canada is also anticipated in making changes to food labeling laws,all of which will have some positive impact on the marketing of industrial hemp. To date only the state of Hawaii has had licensed research activities in the United States and no other legal research or production exists in any other US states due to opposition by the federal government.

As of January 1,2000,all seed planted for the production of industrial hemp in Canada must be of pedigreed status (certified,or better). This means that seed can no longer be imported from countries that are not members of one of the Seed Certification Schemes of which Canada is a member. Canada is a member of two schemes; the Organization for Economic Cooperation and the Development Seed Scheme administered by the Association of Official Seed Certifying Agencies. Most of the seed of approved hemp fibre and seed varieties to be cultivated in Canada is of European varieties and is still produced in Europe requiring importation. Several European varieties have been licensed for seed production under private contracts in Canada.

The first registered and licenced monoecious early grain variety (ANKA),bred and developed in Canada by Industrial Hemp Seed Development Company was commercially produced in Kent County,Ontario,in 1999. Certified seed availability of Health Canada approved varieties is published by Health Canada each year.

After all these laws,the production and sale of hemp-derived products containing cannabidiol – one of the key active non-psychoactive cannabinoids in the Cannabis genus – is still tightly regulated in Canada. Not so much in the United States.

In the USA,the 2018 Farm Bill – signed into law by President Trump on December 20,2018 – loosened regulations over the production and sale of such products. The new bill updated the Controlled Substances Act to differentiate hemp from “marijuana”: hemp being cultivars ofC. sativa subsp. sativa,and byproducts thereof,containing less than 0.3% delta 9 THC by dry weight. Previously,the Controlled Substances Act pigeonholed all cannabis products into the category of “marijuana” (rather incorrectly) as a Category I substance. The Farm Bill’s new clarification and updates effectively removed industrial hemp from Controlled Substances Act regualtion,making it no longer a controlled substance under federal law; subsequently allowing each of the 50 states to set their own laws regarding the cultivation,production & sale of non-psychoactive hemp and its byproduts.
