Meet Alien: the not-so-typical resident of Earth, brought to you by TacoTuesday.com. Although his name is spelled Alien, the “i” is silent, hence, Alen. For those who’ve already shared a taco (or ten) with him, he’s simply “AL”.

LAGUNA HILLS, Calif., Oct. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Meet Alien: the not-so-typical resident of Earth, brought to you by TacoTuesday.com. Although his name is spelled Alien, the “i” is silent, hence, Alen. For those who’ve already shared a taco (or ten) with him, he’s simply “AL”.

Years ago, Alien embarked on a covert mission to Earth, aiming to gather cosmic intel from our little blue dot. Of all Earth’s wonders, what truly hooked this otherworldly explorer are our beloved tacos! Upon abducting a few for “research”, he was convinced that tacos are not just Earth’s, but the Universe’s, unparalleled delicacy. Now he’s obsessed!

Standing tall (or, by his standards, gigantic) at 8 inches, Alien hails from a corner of the Andromeda galaxy. Here on Earth, you might recognize him as a gray alien. But don’t be fooled! His unique Earthly tan gives him a distinct green hue. When not indulging in taco feasts, you might spot him munching on burgers, off-brand cereals, succulent watermelon, tamales, or diving fork-first into a pie. His expanding circle of Earthling pals frequently document their global taco escapades, and these antics are taking social media by storm! Besides his insatiable appetite, the TacoTuesday.com crew vouches for AL’s impeccable listening skills, heartwarming embraces, and a peculiar fondness for the clang of cowbells.
For daily smiles, happiness, unforgettable adventures, and top-notch taco tips, follow TacoTuesday.com on Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok. To level up your Taco Tuesdays, ensure you’re signed up for our newsletter and stand a chance to be part of our exclusive events.

SafetyStratus Launches Map View, Helping Safety Professionals Locate Assets and Enhance Investigations

Leave a comment

[ad_1]

Adding to SafetyStratus’ intuitive interface, the Map View functionality makes it even easier for users to locate safety assets (e.g., AEDs, fire extinguishers, fire blankets, fume hoods, eye wash stations, etc.) and view them alongside a database of essential information (e.g., asset name, department name, room name, model number, expiration date, etc.). Commenting on how this upgrade came about, SafetyStratus’ Director of Product, Greg Kwolek, stated, “We aim to make safety more accessible. This feature empowers collaboration within teams and across organizations, visually connecting people to vital information.”

As an important visual aid, the Asset Map View helps user communities with the following functionality:

  1. Shows assets within specified boundaries (facility, campus, etc.). 
  2. Displays the locations of a default asset type in a map view with pin indicators. 
  3. Allows users to pinpoint their current location on a map and view nearby assets. 
  4. Will direct users from their current location to that designated item’s location. 
  5. Offers a panel view for tablets, where users can see a list of all the available types of assets to choose from, side-by-side with the map. 
  6. Gives mobile users the ability to toggle between the map view and the asset view to read more details (whether it has a pending inspection, the last inspection date, the due date for the next inspection, etc.) about the selected asset types. 
  7. Has search functionality, allowing users to quickly move through the data or sort out all the assets that have pending inspections. 
  8. Enables users to start an inspection at the click of a button if a pending inspection has been initiated for that asset. 
    These capabilities make it easier for user communities to discern if there is a concentration of available asset types, pending inspections, gaps in inspections, and the history of that asset. This solution adds speed and simplicity to the processes of starting inspections and delivering that data to the people who need it.

About SafetyStratus

Empowering digital transformation in EHS programs with the power of leading-edge technology backed by a team of safety professionals, SafetyStratus has been trusted to advance critical safety priorities across organizations within Academia, Healthcare, Construction, Manufacturing, Research & Development, and more.
