Happy National Chocolate Covered Raisin Day! Today we celebrate raisins coated in a shell of either milk chocolate or dark chocolate. Moviegoers have been snacking on chocolate-covered raisins for many, many years. Somehow, popcorn, a box of chocolate-covered raisins go together perfectly.

The CK Daily – Where did March Go?
Hey everyone! Hope your Thursday is starting off fantastic! Can you believe that we are almost to the end of March?!? It is crazy! This month has flown by but it has been SUPER busy, both at CK and personally.
From a personal perspective, I wanted to share a quick update on the race last weekend and the knee. Went to the doctor for the knee to just make sure nothing bad was going on even though it has been doing a bit better. The doctor confirmed that it is I.T. Band Syndrome. (I.T. is fitting for my line of work I guess, Haha!) He said my knees looked like they were in great condition it is just that the repetitive motion of the routes I am running and then running on the treadmill has worn out the I.T. band on my right knee. He gave me some stretches, exercises, and some advice on switching up my running and I should be good to go in a few more weeks. With the race, I did much better than I thought I would even with the race being a slight incline up a hill for most of the way. I finished at 25:30, 11th overall, and 1st in my age group (I guess it pays off getting older, LOL!). Overall, I was very pleased and the knee did very well. Thanks for all the well-wishes last week!
At CK, man do we have some exciting stuff heading your way very soon! I have mentioned before that we have been in the process of building a new website. It got slowed down over the past year or so with Covid and other things but it is full-steam ahead now! We signed off on the design for the homepage, site frame, and the learning center this past week. We are currently working on the designs for the product pages and other items. I really think y’all will enjoy the new look, layout, and all the “bells & whistles” that will come with the new site. I can’t wait to show it to y’all very soon! The whole project has really got me pumped up about all the cool stuff we can do for y’all on the new site.
I really appreciate every one of you taking the time to stay connected with us through these daily emails. It means a ton to us when you email us back when we chat with y’all through these emails.
I hope y’all have an awesome day and an amazing weekend! Make it a great one!

Learning Center Article – Polarity for MPO Cables
High-end fiber optics are important to modern networking, but they’re a lot more complicated than some of their older counterparts. If you need the power of fiber, you might be looking into MPO systems. They can hit some of the highest speeds on the market today, but utilizing them requires knowledge. One key piece of knowledge that can help with MPO systems is polarity. Without this knowledge, you won’t get a connection across any of your lines.
