Answers to Questions About Having a Child Sooner…or Later

It’s never easy deciding when the time is “right” to have a child. You ask yourself so many questions—Do we have enough money? Do we have enough room? What about our careers? Am I too young? Am I too old?

Today, it’s common for women to postpone having children until their early 30’s. While this won’t be a problem for some, others will find it increasingly difficult to conceive. A woman’s fertility reduces naturally with age: not only does the number of her eggs decline, but so does their quality, making it less likely that any remaining eggs will become fertilized and develop normally. Knowing whether your ovarian reserve is above average, average or below average for your age could play a critical role in deciding when to have a child.

And that’s exactly with the Plan Ahead™ test will tell you. Offered only by Repromedix and available now through your physician.

T.i.P.: Boston Teens in Print
The halls of most daily newspapers are filled with bright, thoughtful journalists who have plenty to say and know how to say it. But how many of those journalists sport stylin’ clothing, baseball caps, and iPod headphones dangling from their ears?  At the Boston Globe, the answer is plenty—every time the staff of T.i.P. is in the building for its weekly meeting. The only newspaper distributed to all Boston public high schools, libraries, and community centers, T.i.P. is the work of teen journalists who have found their voice and a forum in which to use it.

More than 20 students from eight Boston public schools are core T.i.P. staff writers and another 100 teens have been published in the paper.A collaboration of the Boston Globe Foundation and Flagship Partner WriteBoston, T.i.P. hits the street four times a year and hits home to the 25,000 readers who find compelling stories that speak to them. In addition to articles on such topics as entertainment, health, education, and politics, T.i.P. is filled with poetry, artwork, and photos from Boston Public School students across the city. And it's not just students who benefit from T.i.P.'s unique voice. The Globe's City Weekly section has printed T.i.P. articles and photos for the benefit of their Boston readership.

Repromedix operates responsibly at the forefront of science, seeking out the most promising new technologies and embracing scientific developments before they reach “critical mass.” Our R&D team of PhD scientists is led by a respected and well-published expert in reproductive failure.

The H2O Solution for Utility Cost Reduction
For more than a decade, H2O has pioneered a systematic approach to facility-wide water management. The key to our methodology is looking beyond the 30 percent of a facility’s water use represented by bathroom fixtures. Rather, we design and install comprehensive measures that target the remaining 70 percent, primarily process equipment and other nondomestic demand, such as physical plant applications, cooling towers, and food services. By addressing all the ways a facility uses water, H2O can reduce water and sewer costs 20–40 percent.

But water isn’t the only utility expense that can be managed, and conservation isn’t the only goal or benefit of H2O’s services. We also look at water supply and treatment issues, as well as a facility’s steam and electricity demand and solid waste disposal systems. Using proven efficiency measures that pay for themselves in operating cost savings, H2O designs projects to address demand- and supply-side management, as well as quality and performance. Most H2O programs have a quick two- to three-year payback, with impressive ROI’s.

In short, H2O finds opportunities for utility cost reduction in places few have ever thought to look. It’s this creativity and innovation—coupled with proven techniques, software, and systems—that defines our value to our clients.


Annual Report: Boston Globe Foundation
2004
A Foundation Takes Shape
In a city as large and diverse as Boston, there are infinite opportunities for philanthropic organizations to effect real change. Since its founding in 1982, the Boston Globe Foundation has donated millions of dollars to hundreds of area non-profits across multiple categories, issues, and geography. We are proud of our legacy of giving and believe we have made a difference in the life of our community.

Over the last few years, we have thought seriously about the Foundation’s role in the community, and how we could strengthen our impact by taking greater advantage of the Globe’s extensive resources and our unique position in the city. We also wanted to give voice to the interests and concerns of Globe employees.

To address these issues, we made some changes. In 2002, the Foundation hired a new director. In 2003, we initiated a lengthy, disciplined review of the Foundation’s mission, strategy, programs, and reputation. Our goal? To design a more focused and strategic approach to giving based on community needs, Globe employee interests, and the company’s strategic vision.

QA: Essential for Today's Changing Business Environment
Savvy managers know that software released without benefit of a thorough Quality Assurance process results in frustrated users, angry shareholders, and discouraged employees - adding up to trouble for managers. Bugs, design flaws, and implementation errors derail the successful launch of critical applications and damage a company's reputation.

Today, ongoing changes in technology development and business processes demand an even greater commitment to software quality. IT departments no longer control development timelines, which are often driven by marketing departments, or even end-users. This market-driven trade off of time for testing leads to premature product releases, exposing users to problems that would have been detected by a more formal process.

The result? More sensitivity to defects. More remediation. More expense. And risk for your company.


Annual Report: Fidelity Capital
2001
Insurance.Com
Last year was not a kind one for many dot-com companies. Countless publicly traded Internet-based ventures saw their market capitalization drop dramatically and some well-known online brands went offline for good. And then there’s Insurance.com. While other “pure-play” Internet companies lost their way, and their businesses, in 2001, Insurance.com flourished. With an unbeatable brand name, a sound long-term strategic plan, and the power of Fidelity Capital behind it, Insurance.com is weathering the storm.

Charitable Gift Fund
The Fidelity Charitable Gift Fund (CGF) was founded in 1992 with the goal of transforming the profile of charitable giving in the United States. By simplifying the donation process, the Fund’s founders hoped to bring more dollars and donors to charitable giving. In 2002, as it begins its tenth year of operation, the Gift Fund’s hoped-for transformation seems like nothing less than a philanthropic revolution.

No longer the preserve of millionaires and foundations, charitable giving has entered the mainstream of American life. And Fidelity’s Charitable Gift Fund deserves its share of the credit. The Chronicle of Philanthropy rated the Gift Fund the #2 fundraiser in 2001, second only to the venerable Salvation Army. It is the nation’s fifth largest public charity and the #1 grantmaker. In January 2001, CGF announced it had surpassed a total of $2 billion in grants made to non-profit organizations nationwide.

Hospitality Services
One of the hottest business buzzwords of the 1990’s was “synergy.” The concept of leveraging the assets and advantages of multiple, related organizations drove mergers and alliances in such diverse areas as media, banking, energy services, and hospitality. Yet the benefits of synergy often proved elusive.

And then there’s Fidelity Capital’s Hospitality Services Company (HSC.) With four distinct yet complementary businesses on the South Boston waterfront, HSC is an ideal example of synergy gone right. Together, the Seaport Hotel/World Trade Center Boston, Sebastian’s, Resource Plus, and Seaport Asset Management provide business, leisure, and group meeting customers a breadth of services and facilities unmatched in the city of Boston.

2001
A Strategic Resource for Business Ethics
We always want to make the right decision. But how do we know what that decision is? In our private lives, we follow an internal ethical compass grounded in our own culture and values.

But what of the corporation?
How does an organization decide what is the "right thing" to do? And how can it create a culture where hundreds or thousands of employees will approach decision making in the same way? Whose ethical compass should everyone follow? What are the standards of behavior the company aspires to and how are they communicated to a diverse and dispersed workforce?

Throughout the global marketplace corporations are looking for effective tools to help employees independently make the right decisions—decisions that are consistent across the boundaries of geography, discipline, and title.

The Working Values Group is pleased to play a central role in this global evolution in business ethics. For our clients, we are a strategic resource, expert at integrating business ethics with a corporation’s core values throughout all levels of the organization.

The ultimate goal? Creating cultures where employees feel safe and empowered to do the right thing.

1998
A Family Legacy...
Since 1945, the phrase "Petrini Built" has stood for the enduring qualities of integrity, craftsmanship, customer service, and unmatched development and construction expertise. When Lee Petrini first founded the company, "Petrini Built" referred to the hundreds of starter homes the company built in the Greater Boston area that fueled the post-war boom. Today, "Petrini Built" applies just as easily to million dollar estates, corporate office parks, and retail developments. And while this three generation family-owned business has evolved from a small construction firm to an established full-service real estate developer...its values have not changed. A half-century after those first homes were built, sellers still advertise that they were "Petrini Built,"-- shorthand for the lasting value, quality, and service Petrini Corporation brings to every one of its developments.

Explore Brochure
1992
Today's parents grew up at a time when Windows were for washing, Apples were for eating, and Networks were for watching. The computer revolution has brought new meaning to these basic words, and left many parents of school-aged children in the dark. Dinner table conversation now includes references to bits and bytes, ROMs and Mice, and the latest programs learned at school. It's no wonder parents are thirsting for reliable information on hardware and educational software that will help their children excel in an increasingly competitive global economy.

School systems, of course, were among the first to embrace the use of computers as educational tools. Thanks to their foresight, computing has joined the Three R's as an essential component of a well-rounded education. However, schools are struggling to retain their diverse educational programs in the face of budget cuts and severe financial constraints.

To assist both confused parents and financially strapped school systems, Sandra Newfield founded EXPLORE.


Educational Institute Brochure
1996
The Educational Institute has entered a new era of change-- new leadership, expanded research and consulting services, and a bold leap into the world of new media and interactive technologies. We've also created a new logo to reflect the organization's evolution into a progressive, strategy-based consultative company.

Through all these changes, however, The Educational Institute's commitment to its partners in academia has remained constant and unwavering. Now more than ever, we rely on hospitality educators to assist us in understanding their needs and the needs of their students. EI will partner with academia in creating teaching tools that prepare students for leadership in the 21st century.

As an independent organization with constituents in both business and education, EI is uniquely positioned to build bridges and foster lasting relationships between the two sectors. With our text books, videos, training materials, and seminars, EI brings the hospitality industry into the classroom and the classroom to industry.
