Strat-O-Matic released its first comprehensive Negro League products in 2001 with more than 100 players in the Negro League Stars set.

About Strat-O-Matic

Strat-O-Matic was invented by 11-year-old Hal Richman in his bedroom in Great Neck, N.Y. in 1948 as a result of his frustration with the statistical randomness of other baseball board games. He discovered that the statistical predictability of dice would give his game the realism he craved. Over the next decade, he perfected the game at summer camp and then as a student at Bucknell University. After producing All-Star sets in 1961 and ‘62, he parlayed a $5,000 loan from his father (and made a deal that if it didn’t work out he would work for his father’s insurance company) into the original 1962 Strat-O-Matic Baseball season game. Needless to say, Hal never had to take a job with his father.

Strat-O-Matic, based in Glen Head, NY and on the Internet at www.strat-o-matic.com, manufactures the top selling sports board games and realism/stats sports digital games. The Company publishes baseball, football, basketball and hockey games to play both on and off your computer and mobile screens. “Strat-O” games are known throughout the sports community for their statistical realism and accuracy. The Company has the world’s greatest sports game stat libraries with top-of-the-line seasons dating back to the early 1900’s. At the start of the 2016 MLB season, Strat-O-Matic introduced Baseball Daily, its first product featuring digital player cards that update every day to reflect real life current player performance as the season progresses.

The Company has a loyal celebrity following including a bevy of sports broadcasters such as Bob Costas, Jon Miller and Dan Shulman, former MLB’ers Keith Hernandez, Doug Glanville and Cal Ripken Jr., and sports super fans including Drew Carey, Ben Bernanke, Bryant Gumbel, Spike Lee and Tim Robbins.

SGS, the world’s leading inspection, verification, testing and certification company, is helping manufacturers of absorbent hygiene products (AHPs) prove to wary customers that their products are safe and free from trace chemicals.

Studies have shown that baby diapers and intimate hygiene products can contain a wide variety of toxic substance residues. The nature of these products means this news is of great concern to both regulators and consumers.

Until recently, the only two testing methodologies available to manufacturers were inefficient. The situation has changed with the release of the Edana Method NWSP360 Series in November 2020. Linked to the Edana AHP Stewardship program, which focuses on the detection of trace chemicals in AHP, this series was developed by a panel of industry experts seeking to create a realistic, practical, robust, repeatable and reproducible test method.

SGS’s Consumer Compact article looks at the growth in concern over trace elements in AHPs and the development and advantages of utilizing the Edana Method NWSP360 Series. The article is aimed at industry insiders and members of the public who want to gain a better understanding of what is actually in our AHPs.

In addition, SGS has created a webinar for the industry – Safety of Absorbent Hygiene Products – Testing for Trace Chemicals.

You need a vacation. You deserve a vacation. You work hard and give your all to your job and the advancement of your career. But if you are to keep up the pace, if you are to fulfil your career, social, and family obligations, you will need to get away from everything now and then. You can do something truly remarkable this year. Rather than going to the safe places and following the same routines you should try a yachting holiday.

COVID-19 continues to wreak havoc around the world. This makes it difficult if not impossible to go to your traditional vacation destinations. Even if you managed to enter the country you prefer, you would be limited in the kinds of things you can do. Taking a cruise on a large liner is out of the question, as most such liners are not operating at present.

There is another option which is to charter your own fully-crewed yacht and go on a cruise with your family and closest friends. Yacht Holidays Mediterranean have grown in popularity over the years. They have become especially popular since the advent of COVID-19.

A Bubble Charter gives you full control over your vacation experience. You get to decide who comes on the journey with you and where you go. If you have ever wanted to explore the many exotic islands and place of the Med, you can do so on a yacht that you have chartered. The yachts come with crews who will do all the operational work and keep everyone safe. Anyone who mans your yacht will have passed a clean bill of health, so you will not have to worry about contracting the virus.

A yachting holiday is a great way to see the sights that you have always wanted to. You may be limited in your ability to go ashore, but you will still be able to enjoy many wonderful places from a distance. You should not allow this opportunity to slip past.

Chartering a yacht is not as expensive as you may think. This form of recreation has taken off over the past decade, and there are plenty companies that have gotten in on the act. This makes for a good selection of companies to choose from. Spending money on this kind of vacation is an investment in your health and mental well-being, and it will be money that is well-spent. The time at sea will give you a chance to think, reflect, and recharge. It will provide you with the break you need.

It is important to select the right provider. You must have a yacht that is safe and sea worthy. The yacht should have amenities that will allow you to be comfortable and relax. The crew who mans your yacht should be thoroughly trained, qualified to do the jobs assigned to them, and experienced enough to handle any emergencies. You should feel safe and completely at your ease on the yacht. It should be one of the best experiences of your life.
