Modular Stands as a Business Promotion Tool

Thu, 2024-01-25 12:30 +0000

Modular exhibition stands are an effective means of business development, allowing companies to stand out among competitors at events and attract the attention of the target audience. Their flexibility, functionality and innovative design make mobile systems an integral part of a successful business strategy.

We offer to consider the key advantages of modular exhibition stands, their variety and ways of effective application in the modern business space.

Design features of mobile stands

They are part of all kinds of exhibition systems made of aluminium profile. Modular exhibition stands are a collapsible construction consisting of several components. Due to their versatility, they can be assembled in different variants according to the requirements of a particular site.

Modular stands are considered to be the most budget-friendly and convenient type of visual advertising. A collapsible structure consisting of all kinds of stands and frames provides a wide range of uses – from exhibitions to presentations and various promotional events.

Types of exhibition stands
  • There are several types of exhibition stands, differing in shape and size:
  • Linear – systems with one-sided placement of information.
  • Corner – they have a non-separable shape with two identical sides.
  • Island – the key feature of this format is to maximise coverage of potential customers passing on four sides of the structure.
  • Peninsulas – voluminous three-sided systems that maximise the use of space.
  • Through – an effective way to place the most important elements in the main aisles, which increases the availability of the submitted information content.
  • Visible – installation of identical structures opposite each other.
  • Multilevel – systems of several floors.

Advantages of exhibition stands

The main advantages of mobile stands include:

  • convenience of placement regardless of location;
  • ease of assembly and installation. They do not require a lot of time for installation, use of special tools or experience;
  • adaptability. Graphic materials on the panels can be easily changed, adjusting to the requirements of a particular advertising campaign or event;
  • ease of transport, and for this purpose is suitable for an ordinary passenger car;
  • the possibility of modelling for a specific location, which makes the construction convenient to use at various events.

In addition, panels with graphic images can be easily attached to the profiles using magnetic tape. Modular stands are designed for multiple use, which makes their use cost-effective and reduces advertising costs.

All these factors make this format of visual advertising an effective way to promote business. It is an ideal tool for companies looking to stand out and attract the attention of their target audience.

Elections and Fraud – The Proactive Monitoring & Cleanup of Voter Rolls

Thu, 2024-01-25 11:00 +0000

After the 2020 election, I saw an article online about speeding up processing by 1000 to 1 million times faster – written by Jay Valentine and his Fractal Programming team. I work with technology, and after investigating it more, I learned that Jay was involved in using Fractal technology to start cleaning up voter rolls as he was disappointed in the 2020 results.

He started a project called Omega with the intent to clean voter rolls, and he offered a system to replace the current ERIC system, which was used in 31 states and was originally (2012) funded by Soros.

Fractal – in a nutshell – is software that avoids using the I/O on a computer. The I/O greatly reduces the processing speed of today’s computer chips. The processors can work at high speeds but then get gated by traditional I/O.  Fractal makes full use of that horsepower by avoiding I/O and is able to work faster, allowing for data searches that don’t work with traditional database tools and queries.

So, when people claim that their voter rolls are ok, some have trouble finding or pinpointing bad records because they are using 40-year-old technology. Jay’s website has several videos explaining how this works and what he is finding. The results are stunning. He has run data for 25 states, and they have found significant errors large enough to change the results of our elections.

I wrote to Jay to see if I could use his material for the Granite Grok, and he said he was about to check the voter roll data for New Hampshire. Once he checks it, he will likely post a video on his website. This is a process that, in my opinion, is required in every state – especially where mail-in voting happens. Through proactive monitoring, he has discovered that thousands of zip codes are changed in time to mail out ballots and then changed back so no one is the wiser. The recipient doesn’t know since they are getting mail just fine. They just did not receive their mail-in ballot.

You can bet that someone ended up with the ballots. So, if you haven’t heard about Mr. Valentine and his technology, it’s worth some time to look into and support.

Night Cap: Supreme Court Finds Constitutional Right To Illegal Immigration

Thu, 2024-01-25 03:00 +0000

If you think the courts are going to stop the Biden-Regime and its allies from rigging the 2024 election, think again. More specifically, think about yesterday’s decision finding, for all practical purposes, that the Biden Regime can carry out an invasion of America with illegal aliens…

The goal being to replace white voters with non-white voters because the Regime and its allies expect the latter to vote Democrat and give them permanent control of visible government:

The Supreme Court is CONTROLLED OPPOSITION. It may be Coney Barrett siding with the Leftists in one case, then Kavanaugh in the next case … but it’s all for appearances. The Supreme Court has been BROKEN. Schumer, with his threats, and Garland, by allowing “protesters” to terrorize the justices, as well as the constant pressure by the Regime-Media, has BROKEN the Court. It is controlled opposition.

The question becomes what to do when the Biden-Regime and its allies rig the 2024 election, AND the courts do NOTHING. Tucker has a suggestion … the only suggestion, in fact, IF you want to keep a REPUBLIC:

Eric Trump Interview – Radio Row, Manchester

Thu, 2024-01-25 01:00 +0000

The 603 Alliance and Grok Media gathered their resources and set up shop in the DoubleTree hotel in Manchester for Radio Row, the quadrennial media feeding frenzy in the run-up to Tuesday’s First in the Nation Primary.

Jeff Chidester and I, with help from Mike Rogers, manned the mics for three days, all day, speaking with scheduled guests and lots of drop-ins. We’re sharing the Eric Trump chat first, but we also spoke with Kari Lake, Vermin Supreme, and a host of other names, local and national, from both sides of the aisle, that I will share in the coming days.

We’ve got about 20 hours of material, including some great conversations between myself, Jeff, Mike, Fran Wendleboe, Don Ewing, and others, and that long list of guests I mentioned, but enough about us.

Eric Trump dropped by for 15 minutes to chat about the primary, Nikki Haley, Joe Biden, and his dad. (watch it on Rumble).

!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u359331"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");

The Beclowning Of Chris “Sun-King” Sununu … Now The Rest Of America Knows

Wed, 2024-01-24 23:00 +0000

Some X reaction to the puerile antics of Chris “Sun-King” Sununu. The rest of America now knows what we in New Hampshire already knew. The Sun-King is an arrogant, entitled CLOWN whose political success is owed entirely to the New Hampshire Communist (Democrat) Party running candidates so far to the Left that not even the very Left-of-center New Hampshire electorate could stomach them:

Handling Trolls at the Polls

Wed, 2024-01-24 21:00 +0000

I’ve decided to put into words a “cyber journal entry,” for lack of better phrasing. This comes less than 24 hours after holding a Trump sign outside a school in the suburbs. I will first mention my gratitude in having the freedom of speech that one has when not being a candidate or paid spokesperson for a candidate.

In more blunt terms, let’s call it freedom from old-school manners.

Trolling happens in the adult world, mostly online, but unsurprisingly, also in person, especially when it comes to Trump. I volunteered to do my part and put in some time holding his sign and joined some like-minded folks yesterday. A surly man approached me and asked why I support Trump. My rusty, knee-jerk reaction was to go into salesman mode as if I had just rang this stranger’s doorbell. When I randomly named a few of the common answers to his question, he went into full-blown high-on CNN Kool-Aid mode.

After a few volleys, I said, “I can see where this discussion is going, and I’m done talking to you.” When he claimed to be an undecided independent, which was possibly partially true or a total lie, I said, “It’s obvious that you’ve rehearsed all the scripted talking points to refute me, no matter what path we take.” Like a school bully, he said, “but so have you.” I replied, “but YOU were the one who approached me and initiated this talk.”

At this point, one of my peers, who happened to be a good subject matter expert in one of the commonly debated related topics, stepped in and took over. A few minutes later, he went into the building. A while after that, a couple approached our group, and they similarly initiated such talk. This time, I was a passive observer as they split up the discussion, kind of like doing man-to-man instead of zone defense. After a few minutes of that unpleasantness, I thought about my cold extremities and full bladder. I told the last unoccupied team member that I was leaving and didn’t want to interrupt either of the other two. This trend of brick-and-mortar trolling was definitely taking up too much space in my mind in the hours that followed. I thought of my mother and her “sticks and stones” lecture that is commonly given to small school children, so so was in the 70s. Then I thought about the whole modern “walk away” concept, which is difficult to implement in such a venue.

At this point, it should be clarified that this article is not about the merits of voting for Trump or criticism of his critics. It’s about handling one particular variety of them. While there are many varieties of them, I’m not going to mince words. I’m talking about the plain old-ass hole variety. They clearly have no interest in polite discourse in bringing people together as evidenced in their modus operandi. They are just agitators wanting to troll. I thought about ways to shut them down, not silencing them but shutting down their dialogue with those uninterested in engagement with their drivel. The minefield to navigate is their switching of tactics to debating WHY you’re unwilling to have their conversation. They will, of course, insult you for that. Don’t dignify them by playing defense. I will refer you to a 4-minute Prager U parenting podcast.

When a kid asks their parents WHY they just barked a particular order, the parents are advised to say, “Because I said so.” That used to drive me nuts as a kid when my parents, mostly my mother, did that once I “poked the bear” too hard in my persistent pursuit to have my way. Don’t let the troll play armchair cross-examining lawyer with you. Say “I would prefer not to (have this conversation)” when approached with a “why do you support Trump” and smell ill intentions. Of course, this requires a bit of profiling and supposition, but such people are not going to just disappear. Implementing the philosophy of acceptance (that they’re here to stay) is necessary. It’s a good idea to have tools in your toolbox, and this is one of them.

I also recommend the 2001 movie Bartleby the Scrivener if you’re into that kind of humor.

So, all in all, I share these thoughts that might prove helpful to some but not necessarily to all. If you, dear reader, think this tactic might be useful, try it. But then again, maybe you “would prefer not to.”

NewsGuard Helps The ‘Grok Add to Its Independent Media Credentials

Wed, 2024-01-24 19:00 +0000

If you recall, I reported on an email exchange with an editor or researcher (or some such thing) from NewsGuard. They are a deep-state surveillance stooge for policing unapproved content. Put another way, the lower your rating, the less likely you are peddling the uniparty, globalist narrative

I am happy to report that, as expected, NewGuard gave GraniteGrok a 37.5 rating (100 being the best).

I won’t go into the details because all you need to know is that a well-funded tool of the speech police has branded us as unfavorable to their message control, and I look forward to fundraising off that, especially since the primary complaint appears to be that we, frequently publish false or egregiously misleading claims about US elections and COVID 19 vaccines.

That’s a very strange lede, given that what we’ve published about vaccines has turned out to be as true.

I can only assume that the other venues for information peddled as news – especially in New Hampshire – did better than we did, given that most of them have yet to report anything honest about the Vaccines even after the CDC, FDA, and other agencies have admitted to issues that are costing us points. But, I would like to thank NewsGuard for making my job easier. If they have rated local and regional media, we can look at those numbers and know where to dig deeper.

One of my projects this year is to expose them for failing to challenge the truth about the covid response, especially vaccines.

So, this is good for us, yes? It is. A self-proclaimed third party with suspect funding and ties to the government has decided we aren’t toeing establishment uni-party lies.

As for elections, the funny thing is that, as we just reported how, the state’s chief elections and law enforcement agencies have admitted, in writing, to evidence of gross negligence by election officials (in 2020 and 2022) whose failure to follow multiple election laws compromised integrity, and election results.

I’m not sure where else in the 75+ NewsGuard rating universe you are likely to find that, but if I had to guess, it’d be nowhere, which goes for the honest reporting about concerns over experimental injections that were given without full informed consent.

37.5

We’ll take it.

Meme Overflow

Wed, 2024-01-24 17:00 +0000

As promised in Monday Memes, I have an overflow. Yes there will be a Friday edition too.

Let the mayhem, mockery, and ridicule resume:

 

*** Warning, a few possibly off-color ones, in case tender eyes are about ***

 

 

>>>>>=====<<<<<

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, up until, perhaps, the mid to late 1800s in the US.  Still, point taken.

Reminds me of a Robin Williams line (IIRC him):  “I don’t mind if it’s my time to die.  What if it’s the pilot’s time to die”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The agency that regulates these products is also a part co-owner of these products and makes money through their sale?  Can we spell CONFLICT OF INTEREST?  Same for all the CDC / FDA people who get “royalties” from pharma – but then contribute to the approval process of those same products.

 

 

 

>>>>>=====<<<<<

 

Pick of the Post:

 

 

OOH, I know they want to keep Trump out.

OTOH, this is a very shrewd concept if they try this.  As a back-up plan if they can’t stop him.  And then we’re screeeewwwwwweeeeed.  The WH and both chambers?

Palate cleansers:
