About a year ago, in the spring of 2020, my wife and I took Bella for a walk. We passed a neighborâs house and Kate admired the big clump of daffodils. They must have been planted many years ago, for they were healthy and thick with bright yellow blooms. I knew Kateâs favorite color was yellow, so I thought to buy some daffodil bulbs and plant them.
Coincidentally (or maybe not), Facebook showed me that very day an advertisement for a Dutch company that bred bulb plants like tulips and daffodils. So I went to the website and discovered that in the spring, when everyone sees daffodils after a long, cold winter, the bulb outlets have spring sales. The headlines blared â75% off!â âGiant Daffodils!â

As the pandemic spread across the world creating countless problems, Fred Geyer possessed a solution in Northwest Indiana.
N95 masks, vital to protecting health care workers exposed to the coronavirus, were in short global supply, and his business, American Melt Blown & Filtration, already produced the filtration for the short-supplied N95 masks made in other countries. So why not create the entire masks in the Hoosier state?
That question led to the creation of a new company: Indiana Face Mask. This December, out of thousands of submissions, the company was one of only five nationwide to receive CDC approval to manufacture N95s. A significant achievement as the majority of N95s were made overseas prior to the pandemic.

A flurry of trade figures has signalled that the world economy is springing back from the effects of the pandemic much faster than anticipated.
Leading the charge was the US Congress approving the $1.9 trillion (€1.6tn) stimulus which will see a direct deposit of $1,400 (€1,171) payment landing in Americans’ bank accounts starting this week.
