This was too perfect to not share. Our markets use the same method. Distancing, masks, sanitizing and checking temperatures at the door so if someone is not feeling great, we can help! This is how we are keeping markets, visitors and small businesses safe! Thank you to @sketchplanations for this! As it perfectly explains how we are able and have been able to keep markets safe in Toronto. Follow them for more information and sketchs. . •The Swiss Cheese Model• Despite all our best intentions, accidents happen. Analysis of accidents in large complex systems such as power stations or plane crashes led to an understanding that "no one failure, human or technical, is sufficient to cause an accident. Rather, it involves the unlikely and often unforeseeable conjunction of several contributing factors arising from different levels of the system." James Reason's Swiss Cheese Model is a memorable visual metaphor that illustrates how each safeguard may contain a latent flaw, or hole, and that an unfortunate circumstance, may result in these holes lining up to disastrous effect. It's also a nice reminder that multiple layers of defence will be more effective, but even with our best efforts, there's still potential for something to go wrong. However, it is unlikely. If all layers are enforced. . . #416 #905 #437 #toronto #yyz #torontovseverybody #torontolife #torontoevents #torontobusiness #thetrinitybellwoodsflea #trinitybellwoodsfleamarket #trinitybellwoodsflea #shoplocalsunday #shopsmall #shoplocal #handcrafted #handmade #makersmovement #supportlocalbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #supportlocalartists #community #communityovercompetition #covid19 #coronavirus #communityfirst #weareinthistogether #localbusiness #cityoftoronto #ontario

We are less than a month away from Election Day and less than a week away from when early voting [tentatively] starts! As you may have heard, Texas got rid of start ticket voting, primarily because it was very beneficial to democrats during the 2018 mid-terms. Your ballot should still have an R, D, I, or L to denote the party of the candidate, but you will have to manually click on each candidates name. There are many competitive races in Texas and democrats have the opportunity to flip a couple districts from R to D. On top of that they also have to hold onto a bunch more districts they flipped in 2018. If you live in Houston, there are three competitive races. Democrats are trying to flip district 2 and district 22, while republicans are trying to flip district 7. I know these slides have a lot of information (and yet not nearly enough) about the candidates, but they are just here to help get you familiar with who will be on your ballot. Next up: Competitive races in Dallas and Austin/San Antonio. As always, if you want to see everyone in your ballot, check out @vote411 . This is clearly only the democrat candidates but if you want to find out about republican ones @vote411 is the place to go.
