About the Compact

The Global Compact for safe, orderly and Regular migration is an agreement with no binding force negotiated between governments and endorsed in a formal manner by the United Nations General Assembly at the end of 2018.

The endorsement to the compact by the international community was outstanding, with some bitter exceptions in some cases expected given their domestic political focus on immigration e.g. United States, Poland or Czech Republic.

As it was established in the beginning of the document, its creation was aimed at improving the cooperation on immigration under the auspices that “international migration unite us, rather than divide us”. Using the words of the agreement, this compact strives for the common understanding, shared responsibilities and unity of purpose regarding migration, making it work for all.

This compact is undoubtedly an ambitious project which could become a gamechanger both in the short and the long-run. With a thorough point by point plan it could be a remarkable guide to follow when confronting migration not just internationally, but domestically. The compact is based on the principle of shared responsibility between all States and it takes into account not only the perspective of countries of origin and transit but also countries of destination.

However, there are some fatal obstacles which could mean, at last, the total futility of the compact.
ADMIRE AND BHEKANI, UNLIKELY BROTHERS

Most days driving through the upmarket northern Johannesburg suburb of Illovo, you’re likely to see him sitting in his wheelchair at a traffic light on Corlett Drive. On Sundays he’ll be sitting a block away on the traffic circle on North Street.

It’s also likely that you will drive past him and barely pay him any attention, maybe avoiding eye contact or pretending you don’t see him. But he’ll be there, sitting in the rain and in the sun, a smile and a friendly wave always at the ready.

For him, it’s about making enough money to survive another day. And for most of his adult life, that is exactly what Admire Makondo, 40, has been doing — surviving.

Some days he’ll be sitting by himself, on other days a tall, wiry man will be with him, hovering in the background. This is Makondo’s friend, “brother” and roommate, Bhekani Ncube, 36. The two have been inseparable since meeting in the town of Musina in Limpopo more than a decade ago, each playing their part in looking after the other.

“So here now, I can’t work. I go and beg there in Illovo. When it is a Sunday, I sit there by the circle. But during the week, I am by the traffic light. But I don’t go every day. I’ll start from Friday, Saturday, Sunday. Monday it gets worse, so maybe Tuesday and Wednesday I will rest,” Makondo explained his routine.

The European Union Migratory Model
By: Javier De Carlos
Tags: Migration, Migrants, European Union, Children, Women

The demographic growth, food crises and armed conflicts will continue pushing people to irregular immigration to Europe. In the Sahel region, this situation is particularly evident because violent conflicts are creating first internally displaced persons and later irregular international migration. The European Union has established the “Integrated Approach” to manage migration. This approach is focus on preventing irregular migrants from dying at the sea. For this reason the EU funds support projects that develop the economy and promote the employment of women and young people in countries of transit and origin of migrants. The EU also fights against mafias that trafficking in human beings and supports the return of those who cannot achieve refugee status. Read more at: https://bit.ly/33V9X9U
Fastest way to migrate database from mLab to MongoDB Atlas
By: Shahnawaz Haque
Tags: NoSQL, Migration, Fastest, Mongodb Atlas, Mlab

mLab was a powerful cloud DB platform offering ready to go mongo DB for production and non-production usage. It was one of the earlier cloud DB platform with option for free DB. However, it is retiring its DB infrastructure on 8th December 2020 and requesting users to migration to MongoDB Altas wherein you have to setup your own DB cluster with the option to choose the background cloud infrastructure. mLab is offering a migration tool to complete this change. You can read more here. While going through the documentation you might find it difficult to complete the migration using the tool and initial setup required. Here is a quick alternative fastest way to migrate to MongoDB Atlas.

Note: This will change the DB connection string to a new one which is used n application. Using the migration tool it will remain as it is. More here — https://docs.mlab.com/how-to-migrate-to-atlas/#using-mongodump-mongorestore

Step 1 -> Take mongo DB dump from mLab

Example — mongodump -h ds225840.mlab.com:25840 -d <dbname> -u <username> -p <password> -o ~/Documents/dbdump

This will create a folder within dbdump with your database name.

Step 2 -> Setup an Atlas Account

Open https://cloud.mongodb.com/ and signup with your google account or a work email id.

Create a project under an organisation. You can use it to segregate different projects. Atlas will create a default one for youand you can skip it if required.

Setup a cluster.Just click on “Create a New cluster”. It will spin up a server with MongoDB installed allowing you to create DBs. Default DBs will be setup.

Create a New Cluster

Step 3-> User Account

Setup a user account for access to the DB.You can find it under Security

Database User

Step 4-> Network Access

To access the DB you can choose to restrict access to specific servers/machines or allow access from any system. For this you setup the access which can be done from this screen

Network Access

Step 5->Database creation to restore your DB

Create a DB on the new cluster by creating a dummy collection. For example create a collection with name “test” and give a name to your database.You can do this from the below options

Connect to DB

Step 6-> Restore the DB

In order to setup the database with earlier database you need to restore it from dump taken in Step 1.

Get the connection URL for your database from the below screen. I am connecting from terminal and have mongodb installed on my system. You can also connect to this db using MongoDB Compass (A GUI for MongoDB)

mongorestore — uri mongodb+srv://<user>:<Password>@cluster0.73bc4.mongodb.net -d <dbname> ~/Documents/dbdump/<dbname>

This completes the data migration and you can access your old mLab database from MongoDB Altas on a new URI and configure your application as required.

That’s it folks. Hope this makes the migration task much easier.
The Sacrifice for Hope

I came from a place,

Of terror and war

The screaming and punching guns

In a constant destroying race

I came to seek freedom

In places afar

I lost my past

My future and my present

Now I am here,

Lying still in my bed

Wondering and thinking,

To joy am I near?

But here I have hope,

Safety and support

Yet something, I lost

It used to be close, but now is remote

I am not what I used to be,

My presence goes unnoticed

A bowl of food or a bottle of water

Can never present my name to me

Where I am, is not paradise,

It is simply not hell

I start to question,

Happy am I twice?

I came to a place

Of safety and hope

The sacrifice I made

Was my name and my face.
With Hurricanes in Guatemala, Should the United States Grant Temporary Protected Status to Guatemalan Illegals in the U.S.?
By: Todd Bensman
Tags: Migration, Guatemala, Immigrants

The Inter-American Dialogue’s daily Latin America Advisor recently asked a range of immigration experts, including me, to comment on Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei’s government request that the United States grant Temporary Protected Status, or TPS, to hundreds of thousands of Guatemalan migrants currently subject to deportation. The argument is that Hurricanes Eta and Iota have wrought too much destruction in Guatemala into which deportees would be sent. My answer follows:

By Todd Bensman as published December 1, 2020 by the Inter-American Dialogue’s daily Latin America Advisor

TPS is one of the most unnecessary American immigration policies on the books.

It has allowed some 400,000 foreign nationals subject to deportation to stay, ostensibly for a finite time, after their homelands suffered natural catastrophes or warfare. But almost none ever actually return.

Todd Bensman with migrant caravan in Tecun Uman, Guatemala, January 2020

That’s because TPS alters the status of its beneficiaries from illegally present and deportable to de-facto perpetually legal, incredulously lasting for decades. The chief problem with TPS is that it simply is not what its advocates always sell it as.

Decades of TPS reveal it to be the rankest of intellectual frauds in that it so cynically exploits the innate humanitarian impulses that define American culture.

For that reason alone, it should not be invoked again.

It is no surprise that anti-border advocates would want Guatemalans to receive the perpetual legal residency of TPS, because they made up the largest percentage of the 2019 mass migration crisis that saw nearly one million Central Americans cross the southern U.S. border on asylum claims for which the vast majority are proving ineligible.

So long as TPS operates under the false guise that it is only temporary and not perpetual, it should not be used as a fig leaf to now reward those hundreds of thousands with permanent legalization, lest doing so inspire hundreds of thousands more to come next.

TPS is entirely unnecessary since, in any real emergency, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement may simply pause deportations until a home-country catastrophe has passed.

TPS is an intellectually dishonest cover that robs U.S. citizens of their right to debate the true merits of granting perpetual residency to hundreds of thousands of people who are illegally present. Instead, America opens the gates, believing the false pretext that refuge is short-term. TPS advocates and beneficiaries well know they will exploit the inevitable time when American memories of the initial representation fade.

While TPS should be discarded as an obvious ruse, the United States should use its power to suspend deportations for a while when circumstances require in line with its innate humanitarian values.”
Our Planet’s Blood

A story of ecological connectivity, wildlife flows, and how to create a safe passage for human and non human climate migrants

(Credit: Eiko Jones)

My skull is pounding as I launch headfirst against the cement wall. This obstacle, so near to my final resting place, is a tear in the orbit of my bloodline. I am caught in a gyre of churning water, a flailing body of skin and bone depleted by months of relentless exertion. My brothers and sisters beside me contort into the same frenzy, tails thrashing, bewildered at this impasse.

We are the urge of life to close a primordial cycle of birth and death. Inside my molecules lies the snaking shape of every river turn. We will flow up the trunks of trees to blossom into rich leaves, stroking the ocean and becoming krill that will feed our kin. We are a single mind that makes ocean, river and forest into one.

As you read these words, millions of bright-red salmon voyage from ocean depths towards the mouths of gushing rivers after years of feeding and fattening out at sea. They will ascend their ancestral streams to spawn and to die, navigating great distances through instinctual processes that still befuddle scientists.

The entire food web of the Pacific Northwest depends on the regularity of these annual salmon runs. The salmon feed the forest. They are a counter-current of upward swelling oceanic compounds; up to 80 percent of the phosphorous and nitrogen found inside salmon-adjacent plants and trees originated in the deep sea. As they swim upstream, the fish are snatched up by bears and birds who leave the carcasses to decompose on hungry soils. With fish in their fibers, the trees provide shade and rooted earth to ensure that streams remain cool and clear for salmon to keep running. Theirs is a delicate evolutionary reciprocity.

Migrating to Canada: A New Hope?
By: Jason Pinto
Tags: Migration, Rant, Citizenship, India, Canada

It is a period of status war. Lost minds, striking from an international base, have won their first victory against the happy Canadian Empire. Yes, this is taken from the opening scroll of a Star Wars Epic.

After the British left us in 1947, we decided to do a bit of colonizing ourselves; but with a different approach. We took over the UK, infiltrated Australia, saturated the US and now we go for Trudeau himself. Oh Kaneda (how we pronounce it), we’re really excited, but we don’t know why.

I usually go with more planning to the grocery store than most Indians migrating to Canada. Their thought process is simple, “Once we’re there, we will do something and make money”. When we talk about the ones going for studies, you expect them to embrace the culture and learn about the place. But no, they just realize that alcohol is cheap and they suddenly miss India. So they start grouping up with other Indians, dance to Hindi songs while getting drunk, and make fun of Canadians in Hindi. I mean they were doing the same in India, does talking about chai (Indian tea) and bhajiyas (fried vegetable fritters) feel better when surrounded by “the whites”?

I’ve been fortunate enough to visit Canada, and believe me it is beautiful with some of the kindest people. But then as I drove to Brampton (basically India in Canada) to meet some relatives, I was welcomed with rash driving and excessive honking; felt like I never left India.

It’s funny how for most people before going to Canada, India was going nowhere; and once you’re in Canada, you keep talking about how India is better. Yet these people don’t return back to India, which makes you wonder “what’s going on?”. Well, there is no point analyzing, because with these people, the airlines misplaced their logic and offered them air miles as compensation.

So now almost every tenth person you meet between the ages of 18–30 in an Indian metropolitan will tell you the same thing “Not much, applying for my Canadian PR”. Bat Soup might have delayed our plans, but don’t you worry Canada: we are coming!
How to migrate your swift project from CocoaPods to SwiftPM
By: Milan Panchal
Tags: Migration, iOS, Swift, Swiftpm, Cocoapods

We’re using Cocoapods for several years, but Swift Package Manager (SPM) is new standard dependency manager which included in Swift 3.0 and above. If you are the one who wants to adopt SwiftPM in your swift project, this is how to do it right.

for several years, but Swift Package Manager (SPM) is new standard dependency manager which included in Swift 3.0 and above. If you are the one who wants to adopt in your swift project, this is how to do it right. Before removing CocoaPods from your project, make sure all your dependencies are compatible with SwiftPM .

from your project, make sure all your dependencies are compatible with . I’ve found one small tool spmready by Humi to check If all your dependencies are ready to migrate to SwiftPM or not.

If all your libraries are not compatible with SPM , then either you go ahead with CocoaPods + SPM together or just leave as it is.

, then either you go ahead with + together or just leave as it is. If you are still want to integrate SPM for all compatible dependencies along with CocoaPods then skip the removal process of CocoaPods.

Steps to Remove CocoaPods from your Project:

To remove CocoaPods from your project, you need to install cocoapods-deintegrate and cocoapods-clean gems.

Open your terminal application (Application › Utilities › Terminal.app) and run the following commands:

$ sudo gem install cocoapods-deintegrate

$ sudo gem install cocoapods-clean

or you can combine both the commands as follow:

$ sudo gem install cocoapods-deintegrate cocoapods-clean

NOTE: Before removing CocoaPods from your project, its advisable to take backup of your project and most importantly, version of the each library you are currently using. You can find all the libraries and their version in the Podfile.lock file of your project’s root directory.

After successfully installing the gem, navigate to your project’s root directory in terminal and run following commands:

$ pod deintegrate // 1

$ pod clean // 2

$ rm Podfile // 3

First command will remove the Pods folder from your project and all the CocoaPods linking from .xcodeproj file added during CocoaPods integration. Second command will remove the Podfile.lock and the .xcworkspace file, which was created during CocoaPods integration. Final command will remove the Podfile from your project.

Now, open your project in Xcode using .xcodeproj file and remove Pods folder if it contains any reference.

That’s it. You have successfully deintegrated CocoaPods from your Project.

Creating migrations when changing an enum in Python using SQLAlchemy
By: Mark Railton
Tags: Flask, Sqlalchemy, Migration, Python

Photo by Chris Ried on Unsplash

This was originally posted on my personal site at https://markrailton.com/blog/creating-migrations-when-changing-an-enum-in-python-using-sql-alchemy

Recently at work I've spent some time working on a scaffold project that we'll be using for API projects that we'll be building.



For a number of reasons we've decided to use Python as our backend language and Flask as our API framework. One of the things I love most about Flask is that it's very unopinionated and let's you build what you want, pretty much how you want.



One of the features I've been working on is an audit log. For data integrity purposes we decided to use an enum field for the `event type` value in both the code itself and also in the database. Like many Flask applications, we're using SQLAlchemy as an ORM and Flask-Migrate to automatically create Alembic migrations. Using a SQLAlchemy model with the field type set to an enum equal to the enum used in the code, I had expected Flask-Migrate to automatically create a new migration any time we added values to the EventType enum class, however this is not the case.



After some searching around, I discovered that this is a known issue with Alembic and that migrations for enum changes have to be created manually. I've got a sample migration that I created manually below as well as some steps so you can see how to handle adding or removing a value from an enum in Flask. Note that this migration is specifically written to work with PostgreSQL as that is the database engine that we use.



1. Make changes to the Enum in the relevant model

2. Create an empty migration file ```flask db revision -m 'Add Logout_Success to AuditEvent'```

3. Populate the new migration with code to create the changes, note you will need to add values for the existing and new options ensuring to keep the revision and down_revision numbers that already exist in the new migration file
Media and the Central American Migrant Caravan
By: Jennifer Compean
Tags: Humanitarian Crisis, Migration, Movement, Asylum Seekers

By Austin Blevins, Helen Carter, Peter Griffiths and Jennifer Compean

November 21, 2020

The Central American migrant caravan consisted of asylum seekers and traditional economic migrants. These seven thousand migrants stemmed mainly from three countries: Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras. Throughout many months, these migrants traveled over 4,000 km to reach the Mexico-United States Border in Tijuana. Along the way, they experienced violence, political repression and poverty. Many, however, have campaigned to “Stop the Invasion.” The arrival of the migrants to the Southwestern Border incited violence, prejudice and the labeling of their coming as a criminal invasion. The United States government has also added to these prejudices, with the president calling the migrants “bad and dangerous” people. These migrants fled from their home countries to seek a better life for their families, but a number of media voices have labeled this movement as having ill intentions. The caravan has not been given a chance to show its true intention, being quickly turned back along its path. Yet as the migrants marched closer to the U.S. border, reporting has changed with every step.

Trust Wallet community votes on supporting the KIN migration and adding support for Solana tokens.
By: Matt Hannam
Tags: Migration, Kin, Trust Wallet, Governance, Solana

This is the extent of my art skills.

Trust Wallet invited the KIN community to submit a governance proposal, which enables existing holders of $TWT to vote and decide on proposals relating to the development of Trust Wallet. Our proposal has been submitted and is located here.

In order for Trust Wallet to support Kin’s migration to Solana, the Trust Wallet dev team needs to add support for Solana’s tokens (SPL tokens) before 8 December 2020. Currently, Trust Wallet supports Solana’s native coin (SOL) but does not presently support SPL tokens.

The Trust Wallet community is currently voting on our proposal. If you already hold $TWT prior to the proposal submission time, you too can cast your vote.

KIN and SOLANA: working together for a win-win

This proposal benefits both the KIN and Solana communities. For the KIN community, they will be able to keep using their favourite (and trustworthy) wallet post-migration. For the Solana community, they will be able to use Trust Wallet to store SPL tokens and as their token platform continues to grow the demand for a reliable wallet solution to support their community will increase.

The Kin community and Solana community can work together to rally the support of the Trust Wallet community. In this way, it’s a great opportunity to have our communities all involved together.

I hold $TWT — where can I vote?

Make sure you read: How to Vote in Trust Wallet Governance.

In the Trust Wallet dapp browser:

navigate to: https://governance.trustwallet.com/ Select our proposal Tap on the ETH logo at the upper right corner and then choose Smart Chain on the list of networks To connect your Smart Chain wallet, tap on Connect and then select Trust Wallet, Scroll down and vote “Yes” on our proposal.

The amount of $TWT you hold in your wallet when you cast your vote will determine the weight of your vote. You must already hold $TWT. If you have no $TWT, or you buy $TWT now, your voting power will be 0.

When does voting close?

Voting closes on Friday, 4 December 2020.

Stay tuned for the results and as always, thanks for your support!

Tags: Private Key, Solarcoin, Migration, Coinomi

Migrating your Private keys from the Coinomi wallet to the SolarCoin desktop wallet:

1.Get the private key address recovery tool at

For security it is Strongly recommend to save this HTML file to an air gapped device and perform the operation on that device.

These private keys are the link to your funds, if they are leaked your SolarCoin and other assets can be stolen.

2. Get your 12-word mnemonic phrase from Coinomi

In the hamburger menu -> Settings -> Show Recovery Phrase -> agree -> enter unlock code. Treat this 12-word phrase like a private key

These are found in the coinomi wallet

3. Enter your 12-word phrase into the “BIP39 Mnemonic field” in the recovery tool.

Select “SLR — SolarCoin” from the “Coin” dropdown menu

The phrase and seeds are located in the Coinomi wallet.

4. Scroll down to the “Derived Addresses”.

These are all the receiving addresses that can possibly be used by your wallet. You likely only have used a few –

Derived addresses.

5. In your Coinomi wallet check your transaction history to find the addresses which you need to import received transactions

Note the receiving addresses

6. Open the desktop wallet and select File menu -> Import Keys

Desktop Wallet available at solarcoin.org

7. Unlock the wallet, un-click staking and paste the private key into the box

8. If you have sent funds from the coinomi wallet: Return to the recovery tool and set “External/Internal” to 1.

Use 1 and 0. confirm public addresses with Coinomi wallet

This will generate a set of “change” addresses. These may need to be imported and the wallet re-scanned if your funds do not initially appear in the desktop wallet.

9. You may have to use File -> Rescan Wallet for your balance to show up in the SolarCoin wallet.

This will reboot your wallet and rescan the blockchain. It may take a few minutes.

10. If your wallet is significantly of sync. It may be faster to manually import the solarcoin blockchain.

1. Download the solarcoin blockchain zip file at: https://bootstrap.solarcoin.org/bootstrap.zip

2. Find the SolarCoin application folder on your computer

3. Replace the files blk0001.dat and the full folder content of txleveldb with the downloaded content

Urban life

By the title, you can judge this is about the pandemic, read till the end, because it will open a new perspective for you, or maybe not.

The unforeseen lockdown had left millions of people in India homeless on the streets for months and have no way back home. The people who keep urban life going don’t even have a place in the urban space, and that’s our reality. The pandemic and mass displacement have made us architects and planners question city planning.

Questioning what went wrong lead opportunists, to briskly come up with several design competitions for students and architects, with the big idea of providing a home for everyone. With this discussion, people effortlessly accepted the duality of our cities and said we only need to find a sustainable way of building housing. Quoting Dr. Himanshu Burte, architect and urbanist at IIT-Bombay, ‘if you create a beautiful city, ‘slums’ will also come up and this is okay’. City duality refers to the growing difference between the elite and the working class trying to make a living each day.

While this is an excellent approach to highlight the urgent problem, it is also essential to understand why this situation exists. Studying the city plans from the smart city mission in India to the cantonment era, there has one thing that been consistent, the marginalized, disadvantaged, and underrepresented groups have always been an outcast.

Why are cities are the way they are today?

Looking into history as it has a great influence on our lives even today. Before India was a sovereign and a democratic nation, cities were planned by the Britishers to benefit themselves. It had a simple pattern in place. The elite Britishers would settle the closest to the prime resources, the administration and the cantonment came next and then came the Indian elite. This formula was taken up after the plague epidemic in the 19th century to maintain hygiene. The working class was never included in the planning. Usually, someone with big pockets would come around to buy the working-class housing at a cheap price to convert it to real estate and showed them the way out. Compelling them to find a new space to settle down.

It has been 4 generations since independence, and we still follow the same agenda. Elite get them all, while the disadvantaged groups have to constantly need to prove themselves to get a share. To design a city it’s pertinent to keep up with diversity and provide for all. It is valuable, not only for us to find sustainable housing for better living conditions but also to rethink all public spaces to create equity in society.

In closing, it is interesting to notice health was a driving factor for the cities to be designed in this certain manner, and it is also the reason why cities are displaced today.

Construction progress thrives amidst a pandemic

Despite the challenge of the pandemic, Town Branch Commons, the transformative park and trail system that will run through downtown Lexington, has made significant progress in recent months. City representatives cut the ribbon for the final phase of the Legacy Trail, one piece of the intertwined system, and completed a connector path between Legacy Trail and Town Branch Trail.

Work also began on the construction of Town Branch Commons Trail. The overall slowdown and reduction in car travel caused by the pandemic helped contractors mobilize and work without traffic interruptions to ultimately complete the work more quickly than anticipated. The intertwined trail projects have been completed early, or are currently ahead of schedule, with final completion planned for 2022.

Simultaneously, work on the privately-funded Town Branch Park also made progress, with the project team bringing on a project coordinator, selecting the park’s design and engineering firm, and hiring a construction manager all while continuing a significant fundraising campaign.

2021: The year we hold newsrooms accountable for racial equity

2021: The year we hold newsrooms accountable for racial equity

Photo by Markus Spiske on Unsplash

We must continue to hold our leaders accountable when it comes to racial equity in newsrooms. When the coverage about the unjust killings of Black and Brown people in the U.S. begins to fade, that’s when true leadership is exposed. It’s in these moments when the spotlight is off that reveals one’s true commitment to change.

In 2021, I see young and emerging newsroom leaders stepping up and re-centering conversations about news strategy, funding and hiring with equity at the forefront. Journalists who understand and model this will become leaders.

The same has always held true: Newsrooms that do not reflect the communities they serve — from identity, class, race and ethnicity, to lived experiences and shared values — cannot authentically establish a level of connection with them.

The clock has run out for excuses. We are going to witness our “pillars of truth” erode if we can’t build this level of trust and connection with our communities.

Most importantly, advocating for diversity in newsrooms is needed to provide opportunities for people from historically marginalized groups to create journalism and connect with the communities they know deeply and are a part of. It’s also the only strategy that I believe will keep newsrooms in business in the future.

We know journalism has a trust issue, and to begin to make up for that, newsroom leaders must be transparent about historical racism in the media, past transgressions and journalistic misdoings, hire and more importantly, promote journalists from a variety of backgrounds and lived experiences, and truly consider equity at every decision-making opportunity.

The journalists who lead with equity, empathy and understanding will reshape the industry. Those who are resistant to dismantling institutional norms and traditions will be left behind.

Thanks for saying this!

As a Latino teacher, I feel like I’ve experienced both sides to this story. In my teaching role, I absolutely hate standardized tests because I get a frequent peek into how poorly they serve all students. As a parent to a toddler, I know that my son (who is very bright and capable) has fewer resources than others. The reality of some families getting ahead during this pandemic is very real.

I just appreciate your writing this! I think we all need the reminder to slow things down rather than speed them up.
How seasonal changes effect business and consumer behaviour?

Income and revenue generated by businesses are different in seasons due to the changes of consumer behavior and spending habits. Weather affects practically every consumer purchase decision. As a business owner, this uncertainty makes it difficulty to plan the monthly budget. To understand this relationship, we can be leveraged to the market products and gain competitive advantage.

Start from the first quarter of the year, from January to March, New Year’s Eve and Chinese New Year influence consumer behavior is though if effect on spending household product and increase the level of consumption. Also, long weekend has turned out to be a bright spot for tourism sectors. The demand of travel business continuously increasing in the second quarter from Songkran festival, and the hot weather driven the demand of cold drinks and air conditioner. In May, time to go back to school, this is the best time for launching saver pack because most of family will save money and spend on necessaries for their kids to start the new semester in May.

In the third quarter, from July to September, shifting seasons are directly linked to weather fluctuation and rainfall that effect the spread of diseases and impact on profits of hospitality industry because the numbers of patient have increased. Futhermore, flood and heavy rains raise the demand for water pumper, brick and sandbag, but it has negative effect on the construction business because it is likely to delay the duration. In the last quarter of the year, this is the most competitive and profitable of the year. Holidays are the time when people are in the happy mood, so they are more likely to spend more money and more purchases during Christmas and New Year. And Tourism business become boom again during New Year holiday.

However, the seasonal changes do not effect the consumer behavior in some businesses ,indicate the consumer behavior is not depend on the seasonal effect, such as public transportation, mobile and internet network, and financial institution. This is not the only factor that influence the businesses and consumer.Therefore, the investors have to evaluate your comfort zone in taking on risk before invest in any businesses.
