Huntington Beach, United States - January 25, 2017 /PressCable/ —
Southern California resident, expert on creating traditions and recognizing the sacred in everyday life Katie Coates is launching her brand new book, “Snapdragon Wishes”.

This is the second book Coates has authored. The book was written with the aim of giving people a meaningful activity to share with family and friends on special occasions and holidays. There’s also particular excitement about this launch because the book introduces a magical ancient tradition from the British Isles.
Snapdragon Wishes is an inspirational poem illustrated with beautiful full-color photography. It inspires readers to make their dreams reality. Readers will likely find a particular interest in the included Recipe for a Snapdragon Party that details how to bring this tradition into their own homes, as well as some of the author’s family recipes that she has served at her own Snapdragon parties. The book’s cover art was created by © Dave Bredeson | Dreamstime.com and Snapdragon Wishes is being released by PRP Press.
Katie Coates has a background as an accredited public relations professional. She and her family live in Southern California and she grew up as a child in a military family. This helped shaped the creation of the book because her family moved many times, which made the author aware of how important it is to create traditions.
When asked about why she wrote the book, Coates said: “Childhood friends remembered our Snapdragon parties from our teen years. They urged me to write the book so that they could bring the meaning and magic of the Snapdragon into their own homes.”
Coates has hopes that the book will create many happy memories for families and friends as they share the magic of the Snapdragon. This positive outlook from the author is certainly testament to her optimism considering some of the mishaps she experienced during the book’s creation. After finding appropriate art, she had to start from scratch with the layout of the book three times in order to work through the many complicated steps involved in using CreateSpace and publishing to Kindle on Amazon, whichi is not normally suited to producing books that are graphics-oriented.
In a recent interview, the author made a point of thanking her late mother for her part in the creation of the book, saying: “My mother was really the one who kept our family together and started using this tradition to help us connect our hopes and dreams with with a family activity. I have memories of Snapdragon parties going back to our childhood. As a military wife, she knew the importance of creating traditions for our family, despite upheaval from many moves.”

Hanwha Aerospace apologizes over controversial hiring guidelines
Hanwha Aerospace has apologized for hiring guidelines that restricted experienced-hire applicants based on age and educational background, pledging to discipline those responsible and overhaul its recruitment process to prevent similar incidents. CEO Lee Boo-hwan issued an apology on the company website on Sunday, saying it was unacceptable to restrict applicants’ opportunities based on personal attributes. “There should never have been guidelines that could limit applicants’ opportunities based on personal factors such as education and age, which are unrelated to job performance,” Lee said. The labor ministry launched an inspection on Sept. 16 over allegations that Hanwha Aerospace had prepared and distributed guidelines specifying age ranges and universities for experienced-hire positions to human resources executives and hiring managers. Lee said the guidelines “directly violated” the company’s principles of open hiring and equal opportunity, adding that he took the matter very seriously. “This was a clear failure on our part, as incorrect guidelines were distributed to
Korea's US investment triggers 2nd wave of orders for ESS, power gear makers
Korea’s planned power infrastructure investment in the United States could generate a second wave of orders for Korean battery and power equipment makers, as surging electricity consumption from artificial intelligence (AI) data centers drives demand for energy storage systems (ESS) and grid equipment. Last week, the Korean government announced its first U.S. strategic investment project, part of a $350 billion investment package. The project worth $22.3 billion is centered on building a natural gas-fired power plant in Encinal, Texas, to meet rising electricity demand from semiconductor plants and AI data centers. The project is also expected to create additional demand for equipment needed to store, distribute and stabilize power, enabling relevant system makers to attract more orders from the world’s largest economy. ESS is one of the largest pillar under the project. Korean battery makers — LG Energy Solution, Samsung SDI and SK On — identify ESS as their major revenue areas while the electric vehicle industry is stuck in a chasm. ESS can store electricity when demand is low
