Parrot Jumping Sumo Minidrone: You Will Love It!
Looking for an awesome drone for the kids? No matter whether you're buying for a birthday, the holidays or just for fun, a drone is the ultimate gift for kids. They're fun to fly and most can perform cool tricks.
Here are 9 AWESOME drones that kids will love!
If you're looking to get a taste for drone racing without all the expense and complicated setup then the MJX Bugs 3 Mini is the perfect vehicle. It has powerful 2750kv brushless motors and a range up to 500m. The 850mAh 2S battery provides around 10 minutes of fly time on a single charge and batteries are easily swapped out should you want more time in the air.
Unique to Just Drones, the Bugs 3 Mini (FPV Version) does away with the supplied LED headlight and replaces it with a 5.8GHz camera that is matched to a 4.3″ 5.8GHz LCD Screen that mounts directly on the controller for a true lag less first person view experience.
The Bugs 3 Mini has 2 speeds (low and high) and 2 flight modes (self levelling and acro) that will keep both the novice and the expert pilot entertained for a long time.
Top it off with a pair of FPV googles such as the Eachine EV100 and you have a complete entry level racing setup that won't break the bank.

The new T-Smart XBM-57 is the latest generation entry level First Person View (FPV) drone. It has a raft of features that sets it apart from the competition such as a unique slide out controller that can handle most devices including small tablets. Using either the iPhone or Android app the integrated 720p HD Camera transmits real-time video over Wi-Fi to your chosen device.
The app can be given voice commands as well as be set with way points that the drone will follow allowing the pilot to fly a pre-determined course. Other features on the XBM-57's 2 speed controller include one button take off and landing, headless mode, a compass driven one button return home and a motor kill switch should you get into trouble and need to bail out before damaging the motors.
It also has barometer controlled altitude hold and can do flips and rolls in any direction with the press of a button.

Considered one of the best drones released in 2018, the MJX Bugs 2W is simply a joy to fly. Equipped with a GPS module the drone will hold its position precisely, move accurately and return to its point of launch with one click of the home button. Auto take off and landing make it absolutely simple to fly.
Once airborne the powerful 1800kV brushless motors make this a very fast, agile and responsive drone. The 1800mAh 2S Li-Po battery will give you a good 15 minutes or more in the air.
Fitted with a 1080p HD Wi-Fi Camera in the nose the Bugs 2W transmits crystal clear video up to 500m with the Bugs GO app. Footage and stills can be recorded to a Micro SD card in the drone or directly to you smartphone via the app interface.
The Bugs 2W also has 3 fail safe modes that will ensure you never loose your drone. It ticks all the boxes as to what a good drone should have and do.

The Aviator would also have to be one of the toughest drones we've seen. Ours has taken quite a hiding and is still flying albeit without any legs or camera and missing a few bits of plastic.
Learn more about the Aviator here.
Ideal for the budget conscience, the sub $100 Pigeon King is a great mid-sized entry level drone. It doesn't have all the bells and whistles that some of the others in this list have, but it is an easy to fly basic drone that has anti-jamming circuitry to protect the motors should they become obstructed in the event of a crash. It also has headless mode, a basic return home feature and can do flips and rolls in any direction with the click of a button.
It is available with or without a 720p HD Wi-Fi camera that easily mounts on the drone and comes with a phone holder for the controller. The camera transmits its video over Wi-Fi to your smartphone using either the iOS or Android app. Images and video are captured straight to the device for easy sharing.
Learn more about the Pigeon King here.
The best thing about the TK110 is its unique folding design. Folded, it will easily fit into a small backpack meaning you can literally take it everywhere you go. Its compactness doesn't mean it lacks features, it has barometer altitude hold, one button take off and landing, one button return home, headless mode and can do flips and rolls in any direction with the click of a button.
The controller has 2 speeds (low and high) and is able to be changed from Mode 2 to Mode 1, something not many drones will do at this level. It also has a small LCD screen on the controller that will display information such as signal strength and battery level. The 850mAh battery provides about 10 minutes of fly time and it has a range of around 80 metres.
The 720p HD Wi-Fi camera is mounted in the nose and can be tilted up and down by hand. It is the same type of camera as most in this list whereby video is transmitted over Wi-Fi to an app.
Learn more about the TK110 here.
Slightly smaller than the DM109s, the DM006 from Da Ming has most of the same features as its big brother. It to is equipped with barometer driven altitude hold, one button return, one button take off and landing, headless mode and the usual flips and rolls in any direction.
The controller's LCD screen provides you with the battery level and signal strength and has 3 speeds (low, medium and high).
The camera is also a 720p HD Wi-Fi unit and transmits its video over Wi-Fi to you smartphone via an iOS or Android app.
The 1000mAh battery provides a healthy 12-15 minutes of flight and has a range around 150 metres.
Learn more about the DM006 Falcons here.
The Explorer is basically the same drone as the Aviator mentioned above. It has all the same features, same 5.8GHz camera, same flight time and range. The only real difference is the body which is a fraction larger than that of the Aviator. This beast has been very popular with the kids because of its Transformer-ish look.
Just like the Aviator, it is a big powerful drone that can easily lift a GoPro or similar action camera.

Overview: Using inFAMOUS2 (PS3) and Resistance Burning Skies (PS Vita) as a case study, this presentation will provide substantial evidence that supports investing in a full-featured, fully functional localization asset management database. Each project used different versions of Sony's proprietary database -- LAMS. Examples will be given that compare the LAMS database used for inFAMOUS2 and the time spent working in the tool managing the assets, versus the time spent working with the Resistance Burning Skies LAMS database. Considerable upgrades were made to the Resistance Burning Skies database, and these features improved productivity and freed time for creativity while managing all of the localized assets. This analysis will help you to understand your return on investing in an optimized, full-featured localization database.

J. Pechauer Northeast Womens Tour/
JPNEWT 2016 #6/
Albergaria takes two against O'Hanlon to go undefeated in short-field event on the JPNEWT
Sharon O'Hanlon and Nicole Albergaria
National and local competitions had a decided impact on the field of players in attendance for the sixth stop on the J. Pechauer Northeast Women's Tour, held on the weekend of July 30-31. The BCA Pool League Championships, which had just wrapped up in Las Vegas as the event began, combined with a few tournaments in the tri-state New York area, led to a field of 12 in the $750-added JPNEWT event, hosted by Raxx Billiards in West Hempstead, NY. The event was won by Nicole Albergaria, who went undefeated, facing Sharon O'Hanlon in both the hot seat match and finals.
It took five matches for Albergaria to claim the title; two double hill wins, a shutout and in the end, two 7-2 victories. Gail Robles was Albergaria's first double hill victim, which Albergaria followed with a shutout over Elaine Wilson. This set her up to face tour director Linda Shea in a winners' side semifinal, as O'Hanlon, winner over Karen Brooks and Nicole King, faced Melissa Jenkins in the other one.
Albergaria downed Shea, double hill, while O'Hanlon sent Jenkins to the loss side 7-4. Albergaria chalked up the first of two 7-2 wins, claiming the hot seat over O'Hanlon.
On the loss side, Jenkins picked up Kia Sidbury, who entered the tournament in the tour's third ranking spot behind Karen Corr and Shea. Sent to the loss side by Shea in her opening round (after a bye), Sidbury gave up three racks over two matches, against Karen Brooks (1) and Carol Clark (2) to face Jenkins. Shea drew Gail Robles, who, after her defeat at the hands of Albergaria on the winners' side, bested Suzette Santos-Wade 7-2, and Judie Wilson 7-4.
The #2 and #3-ranked players on the tour (Shea and Sidbury) advanced to the quarterfinals; Shea, 7-3 over Robles and Sidbury 7-5 over Jenkins. Shea defeated Sidbury 7-4 to face O'Hanlon in the semifinals. O'Hanlon thwarted Shea's shot at a re-match against Albergaria with a double hill win in that semifinal match.
Having entered the tournament in the eleventh ranking spot, O'Hanlon's presence in the finals, win or lose, assured her elevation to the fourth spot on the tour rankings, behind Sidbury. Albergaria duplicated her hot seat effort against O'Hanlon in the finals (7-2) to claim the event title. In addition to her cash prize, Albergaria was awarded qualification to an upcoming North American Pool Tour (NAPT) event.
Stop #7 on the JPNEWT, a $500-added event, scheduled for this coming weekend (Aug. 6-7), will be hosted by Level-2 Billiards in Somerdale, NJ, a new venue for the JPNEWT.

Pumping tests are often carried out in water wells as part of the investigation and design stages of construction dewatering and mine dewatering projects. They are also carried out as part of water resource studies or when assessing the performance of water supply wells as part of well rehabilitation programmes.
Selecting the best pumping test methods, equipment and schedule is vital if the pumping test is to be effective and to provide value for money. Each project and set of hydrogeological conditions are unique and must be assessed individually, but some generic guidance can be given on pumping tests based on experience on other projects and on published guidance.
This blog discusses good practice in carrying out pumping tests in water wells, and highlights some common errors and mistakes.
WHAT IS A PUMPING TEST?
A pumping test is a programme of controlled and carefully monitored pumping to gather data on pumping rates, drawdown of groundwater levels and groundwater quality. The data from pumping tests can be analyzed to provide information on hydrogeological conditions and aquifer parameters such as hydraulic conductivity and transmissivity.
The most common form of pumping test involves pumping from a single well, while monitoring the pumped flow rate and the drawdown in the pumped well and in an array of observation wells, spaced at various distances from pumped well.
During pumping tests the typical duration of continuous pumping is 24 hours to 7 days, although on large scale mine dewatering projects long term pumping tests are occasionally carried out for 30 days or longer. The objective of most pumping tests is to affect the aquifer over a very wide area, and pumping tests may require monitoring of drawdowns several hundred metres from the pumped borehole.
Pumping tests are different to small scale 'well tests', such as packer tests or rising and falling head tests. These small scale tests only affect a small volume of aquifer and provide 'spot value' hydraulic conductivity results representative of a relatively small volume around the test well. In contrast, pumping tests can provide information on representative aquifer parameters for a much larger volume of aquifer, as is typically needed for dewatering design or water resource studies.
A range of equipment is needed for a typical pumping test.
Pump choice is controlled by several factors, including: borehole diameter, depth to groundwater level and equipment availability.
Different types of pump can be used in pumping tests. Most commonly, electrically driven borehole submersible pumps are used. If rest groundwater levels are shallow then surface suction pumps can be used. Occasionally, pumping tests are carried out using alternatively pumping methods such as eductors or airlifts.
Most pumping tests are set up on a temporary basis, and electrical power is typically supplied from a generator, and not from mains power.
A pumping test will generate a flow of water, which must be disposed of. A system of discharge pipework, with associated valves, bends, settling tanks, etc is typically required to convey the pumped water to a suitable discharge point.
• Water quality sampling and testing equipment.
In most cases electronic datalogging systems are used to record data from water level transducers and flowmeters.
WHEN IS A PUMPING TEST NEEDED?
Water resource studies: with the objectives of determining aquifer parameters, assessing the water resources which can be sustainably abstracted, and predicting the potential yield from water wells in specific aquifer units.
Dewatering system design: with the objectives of determining aquifer parameters and determining the distance-drawdown characteristics for dewatering design purposes.
Geothermal system design: with the objectives of determining aquifer parameters and determining the distance-drawdown characteristics for open loop geothermal system design purposes. If the water is to be re-injected a recharge well test may be included in the test programme.
Remediation system design: with the objectives of determining aquifer parameters and assessing the potential to recover contaminants or to control the migration of contaminant plumes.
Assessing environmental impact: with the objectives of assessing the changes of groundwater level and quality which may result from a long term abstraction (such as for mine dewatering or for a new water supply well).
Assessing borehole performance/deterioration: with the objectives of assessing well performance (such as specific capacity) before and after programmes of well cleaning and rehabilitation.
Pumping only. This is the most common form of pumping test, where the main part of the test involves continuous pumping from a well (along with the associated pre-pumping monitoring and recovery phase).
Pumping and re-injection. Where water disposal by aquifer re-injection is contemplated it may be appropriate to carry out re-injection tests.
Artesian flow test. Where a well overflows naturally due to artesian pressures it may be possible to carry out a pumping test by controlling the discharge from the well by appropriate valving, and carry out a 'flow test' without the need for pumping.
Single or multiple boreholes. While the 'classic' pumping test involves pumping from a single well, pumping tests can be carried out by pumping on multiple wells simultaneously.
Like any form of groundwater investigation, a pumping test should be planned and executed by experienced staff, using reliable equipment, in a safe working environment.
Pre-test monitoring: Before test pumping begins, the 'rest' or 'background' water levels should be monitored, ideally for several days.
Equipment test: Once the test equipment is in place, it should be test pumped for a short period (say 15 to 60 minutes) to make sure the equipment is working as expected.
Step test: A step-drawdown test involves pumping the well a small proportion of this maximum yield, and then periodically increasing the pumping rate in a step-wise fashion until the maximum pumping rate is achieved. A step test can be a useful way of assessing the hydraulic performance of the well itself.
Constant rate test: This is the main part of the pumping test, and most commonly involves pumping the well continuously at a constant rate for the test duration.
Recovery monitoring: When pumping is stopped, the recovery of the lowered groundwater levels back toward their original levels is monitored.
• Inadequate background monitoring. If the pre-test monitoring is not carried out for a long enough time period or with sufficient accuracy, it can be difficult to assess pre-pumping conditions, which will affect the accuracy of the estimated drawdowns from the test.
• Test is of too short duration. If the test is not carried out for long enough, the observed drawdowns may be small in relation to background water level fluctuations, or the cone of drawdown may not expand far enough to reach potential aquifer boundaries.
• Test pumping rate is too low. If the test flow rate is too low, the observed drawdowns may be small in relation to background water level fluctuations, or the cone of drawdown may not expand far enough to reach potential aquifer boundaries.
• Inconsistent monitoring/poor recording. If inaccurate or unreliable monitoring equipment is used, this can mean the field data is potentially invalid. Similarly, if the field team is not adequately trained and briefed in methods and procedures then poor quality test data can result.
• Equipment failure. If inappropriate, poor quality or badly maintained pumping and monitoring equipment are used then the test may be affected, for example if pumping is interrupted due to pump breakdown or generator failure.
• Water disposal problems. It is essential that the pumped water can be disposed of for the entire duration of the pumping phases of the test programme. The water must be piped away to a sufficient distance and suitable location so that it does not recirculate back to the aquifer, and does not cause a risk of flooding or other downstream impacts.

Why Netflix's One Day At A Time Really Is Worth Your Time
Mike Reyes
Mar. 22. 2019 8:00 PM
In the vast library of Netflix original content, there are some titles that deserve more of a spotlight in terms of public attention. Be it an original film or TV series that somehow got lost in the shuffle, these unsung heroes are ready to entertain you, if you know where to look. So in the interest of helping you, the streaming public, find something that's worth keeping your subscription valid and up to date, we're here to present you with one such title that deserves your time: the Netflix Original series One Day At A Time.
Before we get too far into things, let's recap what this series is about. One Day At A Time is the story of Penelope Alvarez, played by Justina Machado. An Army vet single mother who served in Afghanistan, she's a Cuban American who lives in Calfornia's Echo Park with her mother, Lydia (Rita Moreno), and her two kids, Elena and Alejandro (Isabella Gomez and Marcel Ruiz).
Also serving as a reboot of Norman Lear's classic CBS sitcom of the same name, the series focuses on the humorous and touching experiences the Alvarez family has in their day to day lives. Issues such as PTSD, coming out to your family, and even the Cuban-American experience are all addressed in this show, and all are handled with a manner that is sensitive, but also extremely entertaining.
Now you may have heard of this series in the recent weeks, thanks to a Twitter campaign that saw fans bid for a fourth season renewal, only to see the show cancelled for good at Netflix. So why, you might ask, are we suggesting this show as something worthy of investing three seasons worth of binging in the first place? Well, the first big reason is, it's just that damned funny.
The mother/daughter dynamic between Penelope and Lydia is a huge draw to the series, as both Justina Machado and Rita Moreno get to play both sides of flamboyant and firm. Also adding to the potential laughs are Todd Grinnell, as a revised, hipster take on the classic Schneider character, and veteran character actor Stephen Tobolowsky as Dr. Leslie Berkowitz, Penelope's boss and eventually a pseudo love interest for Lydia.
A cast such as the one on One Day At A Time is obviously built for laughter, but that's just part of the puzzle. Throughout the three seasons the show has run on Netflix, there have been a lot of moments where the series is rooted in more dramatic happenings. Lydia experiences anxiety and PTSD throughout the series, which leads to her seeking treatment and a support group to help her through the rougher parts of her life; while Elena confronts the issue of her own sexuality as she nears the end of high school.
Both are issues that have potential for the right kind of laughs, if handled properly. And such proper handling demands that the more realistic sides be addressed as well, and this is where show runners Gloria Calderon Kellett and Mike Royce really excelled in their tenure during the show's active run on Netflix. The balance between the more serious aspects of those scenarios never felt like a cop out, nor did they feel melodramatic. It never felt like One Day At A Time had a "very special episode," because every installment was special in its own right. Life doesn't stop for comedy, and the laughs don't stop because someone's going through a tough time.
On a frequent basis, you can find yourself moved to tears, but then brought back to smiles and laughter through the course of an episode. And yet, it never feels manipulative or programmed. Our time with the Alvarez family, and their friends, feels like time spent with our own. It's because of this that the show has developed such a strong fan base, particularly with LGBTQ viewers and those watching from Latinx backgrounds. In a time where cultural diversity is not only valued, but actively sought after, One Day At A Time is a practical godsend of television delight.
But also, it's that humanity that the series exhibits that makes it universally approachable. One Day At A Time welcomes viewers one and all with a throw of the curtains, and a fresh cup of Cafe Bustelo, should they want to stop by. It's for all of these reasons that the show is not only required viewing to anyone with a Netflix queue, it's also an important show to keep on the air.
One Day At A Time is currently being shopped around, post-cancellation, with network TV being the best, and right now only, option for the show's potential revival. Naturally, anyone who's taking a look at the metrics of the show's viewership is going to want to see if there's an audience that'll jump from streaming to network TV. While there's been a vocally strong fandom represented online, it's going to take something more forceful to get the Alvarez family back into the limelight.
Above all else though, the greatest reason to watch One Day At A Time isn't to fight for its bid for revival, or its groundbreaking approach to an old formula; it's to have fun. Sitcoms can be so canned and contrived in the modern marker, and this one isn't. It's a show that knows the formula, and pays homage to what works, while doing something new for the fun of it. Though if you need some special incentive, the Season 3 opener has one of the best guest stars in the entire run, and involves sibling rivalry at a funeral. Do with that what you may.
So should you find yourself with a gap in programming, and you'd like to laugh, cry, or maybe salsa a little in the privacy of your own living room, One Day At A Time is your best option on Netflix, and is well worth your time.

10 Industrial Robot Companies That Lead the Industry
Whether you're looking for a new robot or just getting familiar with the industry, you probably want to know… which industrial robot companies are most popular? Many great industrial robot companies are worthy of your attention. But, some companies have been leading the industry for decades.
Some people feel more comfortable choosing an industry-leading brand.
They figure that the more people who use a robot brand, the better the robots will be. There is certainly a logic to choosing a brand that has been popular for decades.
In reality, there are now hundreds of industrial robot companies that offer reliable, feature-rich, and productive robots. It's worth looking at the whole market as each manufacturer excels in different areas.
But, some robotic companies certainly lead the industry.
And robots from all of these manufacturers are supported by RoboDK.
What Makes An Industry-Leading Industrial Robot Brand?
The robot brands listed below are what we would call "industry-leading."
What does this mean in practice?
Indeed, an industrial robot company can stand out for several reasons including:
It has a high annual revenue or other markers of high financial success
It has been a stalwart of the robotics industry for decades
Its robots are ubiquitous in some industries or for some applications
It pioneered a change in the industry
These markers don't tell the whole story, but they can be useful for getting a broad overview of the "key players" in the robotics market.
The Biggest 4 Industrial Robot Companies
For many years, the robotics industry has been led by a set of companies that are often referred to as "The Big 4."
In fact, these companies' robots can be found in thousands of facilities worldwide and together they command roughly 75% of the market for robotics. Therefore, they are often immediately recognizable thanks to the distinct branding and product design from each company.
1. ABB
You can usually recognize an ABB robot by its white color with distinctive red logo.
ABB was founded in 1988 and is based in Zürich, Switzerland. As well as robotics, it specializes in other automation technology and power equipment.
The company has an annual revenue of around $28 billion and in 2002 it became the first company in the world to sell 100,000 robots.
2. Fanuc
You can usually recognize a Fanuc robot by its bright yellow color.
Fanuc was founded in 1972 and is based in Oshino, Japan with its headquarters at the base of the iconic Mount Fuji. The company specializes in robotics and other automation equipment, particularly CNC machines.
The company has an annual revenue of $4.7 billion and has installed over 750,000 robots worldwide.
3. KUKA
You can usually recognize a KUKA robot by its distinctive orange color.
KUKA was founded in 1898 when it started as a manufacturer of acetylene gas. The company first ventured into industrial automation in 1956 with an automatic welding system and created its first welding robot in 1971.
The company is based in Augsburg, Germany, and has an annual revenue of $2.5 billion of which $899 million is in robotics.
4. Yaskawa
The Motoman range of robots is produced by Yaskawa, which you can usually recognize by their white and blue coloring.
Yaskawa was founded in 1915 but their first robot was released in 1974. It was the first electrically driven industrial robot in Japan, as robots before then were all hydraulically driven.
The company is based in Fukuoka, Japan, and has an annual revenue of around $1.7 billion of which around $597 million is in robotics.
6 Other Popular Industrial Robotics Companies
Although The Big 4 above have a huge place in the robotics market, these other industrial robotics companies could be said to be also leading the industry in their own ways.
You can find robots from these companies in many facilities worldwide. As with all incumbent companies in robotics, they are all based in Japan or Europe.
5. Comau
Comau is an automation and robotics manufacturer based in Turin, Italy.
The company was founded in 1973 and developed the first laser robot for General Motors in the 1980s. Most recently it has moved into collaborative robotics and its Aura cobot has the largest payload capacity on the market (170kg).
The company has an annual revenue of $1.2 billion.
6. Epson
When you think of Epson, you might first think of their desktop printers. However, the robotics arm of Epson is a large player in the industry.
Epson was founded in 1942 and is based in Nagano, Japan. The company first brought its robots to the North and South American markets in 1984.
The whole company has an annual revenue of $9.6 billion of which about $1.32 billion is in wearable and industrial products.
7. Kawasaki
Kawasaki is a Japanese industrial manufacturer probably best known for its motorcycles, engines, and aerospace equipment.
The company was founded in 1896 but started making robots in 1968 when it joined an agreement with Unimation (the world's first industrial robotics company) to make robots locally.
8. Mitsubishi
A company best known for its electric products, Mitsubishi Electric's robots are another common fixture in the industry.
Mitsubishi Electric (itself part of Mitsubishi) was founded in 1921 and is based in Tokyo, Japan.
The company has an annual revenue of around $11.6 billion of which around $3 billion is industrial automation systems.
9. Stäubli
Stäubli robots are another stalwart of the robotics industry and can be found in many facilities worldwide.
The company was founded in 1892 and is based in Horgen, Switzerland. Beginning as a manufacturer of weaving automation, it diversified into robotics in 1982 when it acquired Unimation.
The company has an annual turnover of around $1.2 billion.
10. Universal Robots and the Cobot Market
Finally, the newest company on this list was at the forefront of one of the latest trends in robotics — collaborative robots (aka cobots).
Universal Robots was founded in 2005 and is based in Odense, Denmark. The company likely coined the term "collaborative robot" to mean a robot that can operate without safety fencing. The company has an annual revenue of $219 million.
Omron and the Growth of Cobots
Since then, dozens of other collaborative robot companies have been founded and the bigger players in the market have also produced their own cobots.
One such company that entered the collaborative robotics market with great success is Omron.
Omron is an industrial automation company based in Kyoto, Japan. They partnered with Techman Robot in 2018, adding a series of successful collaborative robots to their existing wide catalog of industrial robots, including mobile robots, SCARAs, and Delta robots. The company has an annual revenue of $6.9 billion.
Which Industrial Robot Brand Should You Choose?
On the whole, all these industrial robot companies and more could be a good choice for your next robot.
But, how do you tell which robot is the right one? It can be overwhelming to see so many different robots available.
A good place to start is to decide what properties your robot application will need. What payload capacity, for example, and what reach will be necessary for your task?
From then, you can continue your research with a better understanding of what you're looking for in a robot.
Finally, whatever robot brand you choose, you can be sure that it can be supported by RoboDK.

AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS: Taylor Takes Over
Taylor Swift made headlines over the weekend by calling out Republican politicians, which provided a perfect segue into her opening performance at Tuesday's American Music Awards. The newly outed Democrat kicked off the show with a rousing "I Did Something Bad," which began with her smirking, "I never trust a narcissist, but they love me. I play them like a violin."
That was just one of politically touched moment in the three-hour telecast, which stuck pretty closely to the middle of the road in terms of sound and vibe, with a few notable exceptions. Chief among those? Taylor, the evening's big winner, accepting her Artist of the Year award by reminding viewers that all the awards were voted on by the people – "and you know what else is voted on by the people, the midterm elections."
Cardi B put together the most show-stopping performance of the evening for "I Like It," perching on a spinning, multi-colored disc, surrounded by dancers and horn players in matching outfits — and turning up the heat another few notches when joined by J Balvin and Bad Bunny.
Writer-producer Benny Blanco put in the evening's wackiest performance by debuting his first single as an artist – "Eastside" – by sitting on a couch, then lying on a bed, to watch Halsey and Khalid sing the thing.
Host Tracee Ellis Ross, who made a point of noting she was dressed entirely by black designers for the evening, got into the act by getting in a full week's worth of cardio by working it to a medley that included "This is America" and "Respect."
Twenty One Pilots delivered a moody version of their goth-tinged single "Jumpsuit," backed by appropriately dark video accompaniment.
Mariah Carey debuted her very Mariah-ish new single "With You" with a simple performance that showcased the higher end of her multi-octave voice – and the curves poured into her magenta gown.
Shawn Mendes followed that up by showing off his own vocal range on his new single "Lost in Japan," accompanied by Zedd, who traded his electronic arsenal for a plain ol' grand piano.
Post Malone took a darker turn with an emotional "Better Now," letting Ty Dolla Sign slip a verse of his own "Psycho" in the middle like a fortune into a cookie.
Jennifer Lopez jumped on the song-debuting bandwagon by introducing "Limitless," a soaring ballad from her new movie Second Act — with a big enough sound to compete with anything from A Star Is Born.
The ballad mood dominated the show's final hour, with Camila Cabello delivering a sweet orchestral version of her timeless-sounding new single, "Consequences" and Carrie Underwood breaking out the tear-jerker "Spinning Bottles."
Things got considerably more energetic when Ciara and Missy Elliott took the stage for "Level Up" – setting the challenge bar mighty high for any contenders.
The night ended with a pair of well-done tributes: Panic at the Disco, beamed in from Australia, honored Queen's Freddie Mercury with a surprisingly on-target "Bohemian Rhapsody." And to wrap up the telecast, an all-star gospel group led by Gladys Knight teamed to celebrate the sanctified side of the late Aretha Franklin with a spectacular medley of church classics, including "Amazing Grace" and "How I Got Over."

OHIO: New Cell Phone Bill Could Make It's Way To Ohio


There was a time when one radio would become the star attraction of an entire village. Radio Comes to Rampur is not only nostalgic of those innocent times, but weaves a funny story around it. The village of Rampur is abuzz with the anticipation of the wonder box – radio, that the landlord of the village wants to buy. The excitement, frenzy and the absence of knowledge about what a radio really is becomes the focal point of the village and every hilarious incident that takes place in it. When the landlord's brother finally does bring the radio, the collision of anticipation with reality, leads to a rib-tickling anticlimax. The film humours children with the vision of a time hard to imagine today.

What Happened to Zuma? What We Know About the Secret SpaceX Mission
By Rafi Letzter published 10 January 18
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket carrying the secret Zuma spacecraft for the U.S. government launches Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida on Jan. 7, 2018 in this still from a SpaceX video. (Image credit: SpaceX )
UPDATE: ABC News reported Tuesday evening (Jan. 9) that Zuma plummeted into the Indian Ocean. The ABC News report cites a single, unnamed "U.S. official."
Something weird is going on with a classified SpaceX payload launched Sunday night (Jan. 7), codenamed Zuma. Either the mission failed, and a U.S. spy satellite was lost in space, per Bloomberg and Wall Street Journal reports that were posted Monday (Jan. 9), or it succeeded, per SpaceX.
Loren Grush, a reporter at The Verge and SpaceX expert, does a good job of untangling the threads in an article posted early today (Jan. 9).
First, here's what's known:
SpaceX, as usual, livestreamed the launch, and everything appeared to go as planned. Then, as usual with classified payloads, the livestream cut off before the separation of the nose cone and deployment of the satellite it holds. However, unusually, neither SpaceX nor Northrop Grumman (the company that built Zuma) initially confirmed a successful launch. The next datapoint came from U.S. Strategic Command, part of the Department of Defense that tracks all such orbiters. Strategic Command added a new satellite to its Space-Track.org catalog after the launch, designated USA 280, but — as usual for classified objects — did not provide an orbital path.
"That likely means someone within Strategic Command added Zuma to the catalogue after the satellite completed an orbit," Grush wrote.
The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg then reported, drawing on government sources, that Zuma did not separate from the rocket. Bloomberg reports that the upper stage failed, and the Journal reports that the spacecraft fell back to Earth. The upper or second stage of the rocket is the section just below the payload. Once the first stage helps boost the entire craft to a certain altitude, it gets released and the upper stage ignites to ultimately bring the payload to its final orbit. "Following first stage separation, the second stage Merlin ignites and takes the payload to a parking orbit before igniting again to place the payload into its final orbit. Once the second stage orbit ignites, the payload fairing is jettisoned," Spaceflight Insider reports.
However, SpaceX is sending signals that — at least on that company's end — everything worked properly. In a pair of statements to Grush, the company said "reviews of the data indicate Falcon 9 performed nominally" and later, from President/COO Gwynne Shotwell, "For clarity: after review of all data to date, Falcon 9 did everything correctly on Sunday night."
What does all of this mean?
It's unclear. But Grush writes that SpaceX appears to be trying hard to communicate that it did everything right, without excluding the possibility that there was a failure once things entered Northrop's sphere of responsibility. It's certainly possible that SpaceX's Falcon 9 successfully lofted Zuma to orbit, but that Zuma failed to deploy or operate properly after deployment.
It might become clearer in the coming weeks whether a new satellite now orbits the Earth, alive or dead, as amateur astronomers try to spot the object. Already, one such early datapoint has come in: Peter Horstink, the Dutch pilot of a Boeing 747-400 freighter flying at 35,000 feet (about 10,700 meters) just north of Khartoum, Sudan, photographed a green-blue "spiral" that, according to SatTrackCam Leiden's blog, was likely the result of the Falcon 9 upper stage depressurizing and venting fuel.

Lester Holt Wants $10 Million to Take Over "NBC Nightly News"
NBC Broadcast Journalist Lester Holt will be taking over Brian Williams' position on NBC Nightly News, but only if the money is right. Holt is asking for the same $10 million dollar salary that Williams received while he was doing the show. Things might be in Holt's favor, since the network doesn't have a plan to use another anchor. "There's a lot of drama at NBC News," said an insider. "Lester's team feels that if he gets half of what Williams was making, the message to him and the newsroom is he's half the anchor Brian was. He's got NBC by the balls — because there is no Plan B for them. This is Lester's chance to get paid." Read more.

Q: Office 365 API EWS calendar not expanding recurring events I am using REST services with the new Office 365 API Preview.
The following request returns the "Non-recurring appointments and recurring master appointments", but all "single occurrences of recurring series" are missing:
https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Me/Events?$top=30&$select=Subject,Start,End&$filter=End+ge+2014-12-01T01%3A00%3A00Z+and+Start+le+2015-02-01T01%3A00%3A00Z

The EWS Managed API has a method ExchangeService.FindAppointments that expands a series of recurring calendar items and returns "Non-recurring appointments, single occurrences of recurring series, and exceptions to recurring series". MSDN
What parameters do I need to use to also get the "single occurrences of recurring series, and exceptions to recurring series" using the Office 365 REST API?

A: Thanks for your interest in Office 365 Calendar APIs!  We are currently rolling out an API to expand a specific meeting series for a given timeframe, and an API to provide a calendar view i.e. list of all meetings (single instances, occurrences and exceptions of a meeting series) for a given timeframe.  As soon as the deployment is complete, we will update our docs with details on the new APIs.  I believe one of these APIs will meet your needs.
Can you please try the following URL?  This new CalendarView API is almost fully deployed, but we are still updating documentation.  In the meantime, please let me know if this request works for you.
https://outlook.office365.com/ews/odata/Me/CalendarView?$top=30&$select=Subject,Start,End&startDateTime=2014-12-01T01:00:00Z&endDateTime=2015-02-01T01:00:00Z

Let me know if you have any questions or need more info.
Thanks,

Q: How to cleanly deal with structured selections in eclipse? I'm writing an eclipse plugin, where I want to contribute an action to the JDT package explorer. In order for the action to be executed, there must be two different files selected. Therefore I retrieve the active selection of the JDT package explorer in the command handler for that action. That is where my problem is.
Currently the code that extracts the selected files from IStructuredSelection involves multiple local variables with multiple if statements and multiple returns in about 30 lines of code. And of course this code looks at least a bit ugly.
What concept(s) and or patterns should I use to make this code more cleaner?
The eclipse platform recommends to use the adapter pattern. So I thought of creating a pojo like this:
public class FooCommandArgs {

    private IFile xmlFile;
    private IFile csvFile;

    //getters and setters here ...

}

and creating the necessary adapters for it from IStructuredSelection. However doing this would just move the ugly code to some other places.

A: So as the field names suggest, each item I want to extract from the IStructuredSelection has to fulfill some conditions. My idea is to use bean validation api for this. The pojo would then look like this:
public class FooCommandArgs {

    @NotNull
    @FileExtension("xml")
    @Content(type=ContentType.XML, value="http://my.schema.location/schema.xsd")
    private IFile xmlFile;

    @NotNull
    @FileExtension("csv")
    private IFile csvFile;

    //getters and setters here ...

}

The Validator interface of the bean validation api provides the method <T> Set<ConstraintViolation<T>> validateValue(Class<T> beanType, String  propertyName, Object value, Class<?>... groups) which I could use for that. I just would have to introspect the java bean properties and then invoke that method for every combination of an IStructuredSelection item and pojo property. If the result is that every item could be assigned to a bean property with no constraint violations than I can just go on with handling the actual command. Ambiguities might as well be handled.
EDIT:
I have implemented this suggestion and it works out quite nice. Using this technique, it is also very easy to explain to a user programmatically, why a certain command isn't enabled or can not be executed.
I don't want to forget to mention JCommander at this point, which is the inspiration for this idea.


CHELSEA manager Carlo Ancelotti called for calm on the eve of his first London derby.
Ancelotti (top right) is well aware of the dangers of fierce rivalry and recalled playing for Roma against Lazio in 1979, when a fan was killed by a rocket.
"It was brutal, unfair," Ancelotti said. "These things should never happen at a football match. I just want everyone to enjoy.
These derbies do have a habit of falling apart and only two years ago a fan ran onto the pitch and tried to 'lamp' Frank Lampard.
Ancelotti added: "I asked my players at the start of the season what was their derby and they said Spurs. I don't know why.
"I want a fair game, with both sides entertaining in the right way.
And nobody wants to do that more than Spurs' Ledley King, who embarks on a double mission against Chelsea in his constant battle to save his career.
The injury-jinxed defender will again play through the pain barrier to keep his dreams for club and country alive.
King, 28, is plagued by chronic knee problems.But he is planning a final plea to England coach Fabio Capello for what would be a controversial place on the World Cup plane to South Africa.
"All I can do is try to get the best out of the situation and keep going as long as I can," he said.


Why You Should Just Say NO to Giant Square Grids on Instagram!
Instagram trends come and go but the giant square grid trend on Instagram is one we wish would disappear and NEVER come back!
What is a giant square grid?
The giant square grid is when one square photo is cut into nine individual segments and each one of those squares is its own photo to post on Instagram.
When these posts are planned out into an Instagram posting strategy, they look like giant photos when you are viewing that user's profile.
Why do we not recommend it?
First, when these separate photos get posted to Instagram, it is nine photos posted back to back within a few minutes. We do not recommend posting more than one time per day. Posting nine photos in one day is not ideal.
Second, your followers are not going to see these images in order on their feeds. What they'll end up seeing is a random order of posts from the nine, intermingled with posts from other accounts that they follow.
Third, photos that do not make sense as standalone pictures will not get good engagement and therefor bring down the potential success of your other posts. Instagram's algorithm is constantly changing but what seems to be consistent is that posts that are performing better will be shown to more people. This could negatively effect posts you do after the grid.
Fourth, if you want your feed to look good all the time, you'll need to be extra aware of the content you schedule and make sure to time the posts in numbers of 3.
Here is an example from the grid above. If you saw this photo in your feed, would you like it? Probably not.
What should you do if you have giant square grid posts on your account?
This is completely up to you! Depending on how long ago you posted these images, they may not be delivering to your follower's feeds anymore with the algorithm. If you added hashtags or a geotag to your posts, they may still appear when searching through a specific hashtag or geotag, depending on how popular that tag is.
Our recommendation would be to archive or delete these posts. When you archive a post, it is not visible to anyone other than you and you can only see it when viewing all the posts that have been archived.
Tap the post you wish to archive to view it full screen.
Tap the three dots ( . . . ) in the top right corner of the post.
There are very few exceptions!
There are accounts who utilize the grid strategy well. An example is to use the giant square grid to create one cohesive image when you view their feed. This account then does not post more photos to their Instagram account. Instead, they utilize Instagram stories exclusively while maintaining a visually beautiful feed.
Instagrammers at the #sfoRSJ InstaMeet at Santa Fe Opera hosted by @simplysantafenm, July 20, 2017.
Instameets are gatherings of people coming together to create, connect and share an experience through Instagram photography. The events usually involve a behind the scenes tour, access to something that isn't normally available to the general public, or giveaways of product in support of the promotion. Instameets have a unique hashtag designated to identify the particular event. Users include this hashtag in the caption of their images so they will be part of the conversation and social media storytelling told through the collection of photographs produced at that event. Many Instagrammers have developed real connections and friendships with the people they have met through these experiences, making each subsequent gathering a true community event.
The participants who come to the Instameets vary depending on their interest in what the event has to offer. The images produced during and after an event have potential to reach an international demographic because posts are seen by a diverse group of followers.
The event brings people to your brick and mortar location and/or brand awareness.
Your business/organization receives publicity through the images produced at your location as they are broadcast to the Instagrammers diverse social media networks.
Influencer marketing is becoming increasingly prevalent on social media. In fact, it on is on pace to become an $8 billion dollar industry by 2020. More and more businesses are using it, and hosting an InstaMeet event is a great way to work with several influencers at one time. As the leading influencer marketing agency in New Mexico, we can help you create an InstaMeet event that benefits everyone involved.
Do you have a collection of hashtags that you frequently use but don't want to have to remember every single one or type them in manually each time? Here is our favorite time saving tip!
It is helpful start by creating a Note on your mobile device. Type out different categories for hashtags and every hashtag you can think of that you use when you post about that topic.
In the "phrase" section, type (or copy/paste) hashtags that you want to remember. Then in the "shortcut" section use a keyword that applies to these hashtags. You can create as many shortcuts as you need and have different hashtags in different shortcuts if needed.
One of the things we found useful was to add "ig" before each keyword since we use these shortcuts the most on Instagram. We figured this out after creating a hashtag category for "beer hashtags" and then every time we typed the word "beer" the hashtags would autopopulate even when that was not our intention. After we switched the shortcut keyword to "igbeer", we don't run into that issue anymore!
Remember: capitalization does not matter in hashtags, they are not case sensitive. We occasionally use capitalization to help draw attention to the words used in the hashtags and so they are easy to read. It is NOT necessary to put commas in between hashtags. It's technically not even necessary to put spaces between hashtags, but that becomes a jumbled mess of characters so we don't recommend omitting spaces altogether.
There you go! We would love to know what you thought about this tip and which categories you have created for your hashtag shortcuts.
A brand can reasonably assume that if a person shares a photo on social media and tagged the brand in the photo and/or used the brand's hashtag means they intended for the company to see it and hopefully share or repost it. The most common way that this happens is through the use of a specific hashtag, which can convincingly be argued would only be used by consumers aware of the company's campaign and gives implied consent.
Photo credit must always be given to the photographer.
Example: Photo by @username, Photo credit: @username, 📷: @username, etc.
Do not make any changes to the photograph. For example, do not crop, edit, or add text to the photo in any way without explicit permission from the photographer.
Copyright of images will always be retained by the photographer so if a business or brand wants to use an image found on social media for purposes other than sharing on their social media channels, it is best practice to ask permission from the photographer before using the image on any sort of marketing material, print or digital. Businesses and brands may ask for permission through social media via commenting or direct messaging.
If images are to be used outside of social media, always discuss with the photographer first.
Comment on photo asking for permission to repost image or what your intentions would be for that image.
Direct Message the photographer asking for permission & explaining usage intentions.
When in doubt about what to do the safest route is to ask permission from the photographer that way there is no misunderstanding.
An App we use is called Repost. It can put the photographer's Instagram username on the image/video or for $1 you can upgrade to remove this feature.

Q: What are some specific operations for matrices, like is dot product for vectors? I read this question and the associated answer (What is the dot product between a vector of matrices?), and it wasn't what I am looking for.
I want to know if there are some special operations designed for bi-dimensional or multi-dimensional vectors ?
When I refer to dot product, I don't mean the equivalent for matrices, but rather an operation that deals with matrices and computes something.

A: There are many specific operations for matrices, usually given as a bilinear product from $M_n(K)\times M_n(K)\rightarrow M_n(K)$, like the matrix product or the Lie bracket $(X,Y)\mapsto [X,Y]=XY-YX$. Another operation is the Kronecker product from
$M_{m,n}(K)\otimes M_{p,q}(K)\rightarrow M_{mp,nq}(K)$.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexico's oil regulator plans to announce the cancellation of auctions scheduled for October to pick joint venture partners for state-run energy company Pemex in seven onshore areas, two sources close to the decision told Reuters on Thursday.
The auctions have already been postponed twice since last year and are expected to be formally cancelled later on Thursday, the sources said. Other oil auctions to offer exploration and production rights were previously cancelled by Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador.
Pemex could not be immediately reached for comment.
The decision on whether the projects would go forward has been eagerly awaited by the industry given Lopez Obrador's pledge to revive Pemex, the world's most indebted oil company.
Formally known as Petroleos Mexicanos, Pemex has seen its crude production fall for almost 15 years. The joint ventures have been seen as a way to help reverse the slide by luring significant outside investment from private partners.
But Lopez Obrador's strategy for the oil industry has prioritised other areas of investment, especially in the downstream sector, including a plan to build a $8 billion refinery. He has also promoted different business models from those implemented as part of former President Enrique Pena Nieto's flagship energy reform.
Instead of joint ventures with Pemex, called "farmouts," used mainly for producing natural gas, Lopez Obrador's administration aims to continue encouraging service contracts to boost crude and gas production, one of the sources said.
Rating agencies that have downgraded the state-run company or changed its outlook have pointed to Pemex's business plan focusing less on exploration and production and not doing enough to reverse the accumulated production decline.
Fitch last week became the first major ratings agency to downgrade Pemex's bonds to "junk" status. Central Bank Governor Alejandro Diaz earlier this week said Mexico should reinforce Pemex's creditworthiness.

Q: regexp_replace() - matches but does not replace at end of line I'm trying to regexp_replace() all the values of a column ending without "/", by adding "/".
I can get the correct values by using this statement (the pattern was tested with a PCRE checker):
SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `column` REGEXP("(?<=[^\/])$");

And the non-matching ones with:
SELECT * FROM `table` WHERE `column` REGEXP("(?<![^\/])$");

But when the statement is:
UPDATE `table` SET `column` = REGEXP_REPLACE(`column`, "(?<=[^\/])$", "/");

Then, there is no change, whatever value I put into the third parameter:
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1031  Changed: 0  Warnings: 0

A: You could do this easily without regex:
UPDATE `table` SET `column` = `column` + '/'
WHERE RIGHT(`column`, 1) <> '/'

A:
trying to understand why it does not work

As I rationalize the problem, you are asking REGEXP_REPLACE to do two things:

*

*Discover that something is missing, and

*Point to a location in the string.

Your regexp says that it is missing, but I question whether it points to a specific substring (even an empty one) for replacing.  It's easy to point to a found substring (or substrings).  It is hard to point to a missing substring.  And such a 'pointer' is needed to do the replacement.
Hence, Michal's approach (even if some regexp were needed) is the "right" way to solve the problem.

How purpose impacts environment, social and governance efforts
Caitlin Chase
Environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria are ways to create and measure sustainability and demonstrate ethical impact. These criteria are becoming increasingly important for firms as more and more employees, consumers, and investors seek to support organizations that maintain purposeful commitments to society and the planet. Impactful commitments in each of these areas require a willingness to lead by prioritizing purpose and making a strong set of values central to a firm's motivation.
How ESG shows up in business:
Environmental (E) – Environmental criteria include areas related to a company's sustainability initiatives – their energy and water use, how they conserve resources, and their impact on climate.
Social (S) – Social criteria include human impact activities such as how the business contributes to local communities and to its own employees, which might include donations and volunteer work, wages, workplace policies, training and education programs, and social relevancy of a business's mission statement.
Governance (G) – Governance criteria include how transparent the company is about its investors, partners, board governance, and its cooperation with other companies and governments.
When it comes to our environment, our natural resources are challenged and impacts on our environment are changing climates across the world. Without corrective actions and sustainability efforts, not only are our businesses in jeopardy, but so is our planet and all who dwell here.
In March, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) released new landmark disclosure rules that would require firms to outline how their leadership is managing climate risks, how climate risk impacts their strategy and financial outlook, and to report on the level of greenhouse gases their operations are responsible for, among other requirements. This signals an important step toward shifting the way businesses prioritize and disclose climate impact.
These efforts call upon organizations to look beyond short-term profits and consider their global impact today and for future generations to come. Transitioning to renewable energy and reducing water consumption and waste products may come at an up-front cost, but these conservation efforts can lend to longer-term profits and a better environment. Sustainability challenges are complex and systemic and can't be tackled with a business-as-usual approach – a sustainable business cannot be built on unsustainable practices.
Sustainability also has social implications. Social criteria can include how the company values and compensates its employees, the ongoing learning opportunities it offers, its policies around diversity, equity, and inclusion, and the stances it takes publicly on human rights issues through partnerships, statements, and charitable causes. Consumers care that the products and services they purchase make a difference in the world and that the businesses they support are supporting their employees and communities. Leading with an interest in what is "best for communities" rather than what is "best for the business" is an important principle for rooting impact in corporate purpose. Building trust and connecting to the shared value of its consumers can ensure the company can do good socially while doing well financially.
From a governance standpoint, investors are increasingly interested in aligning their financial portfolios with their own values, pushing asset managers to incorporate ESG metrics into their investment decisions. There is increasing evidence that ESG metrics correlate with financial returns – recent data from NYU shows that 58% of related corporate studies conducted demonstrated a positive relationship between ESG and financial performance.
Doing business the "right way" doesn't just feel good, it is good for the health and longevity of the business. Firms invested in ESG initiatives may choose alternatives to traditional governance structures, like being employee-owned (through employee stock or share ownership plans) or member-owned (through cooperatives), as these structures can yield lower employee turnover rates and more engaged and innovative staff. A firm can also become a B Corp – a for-profit company that is certified by the nonprofit B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance, accountability, and transparency – or a benefit corporation – a company with an established purpose of creating "general public benefit" that is legally required to consider the impact of their decisions, not only on their shareholders but on society and the environment as well. These designations help solidify ESG commitments in the eyes of investors, employees, customers, and the public.
Communicating ESG initiatives is a key driver of success. Here are a few tips to consider when striving to communicate the impact of your ESG commitments effectively:
Be transparent about where your company currently stands, where it hopes to go, and how it plans to get there. This transparency and communicating it effectively and often is critical to building trust with all stakeholders and maintaining a strong, reliable, purposeful brand reputation.
Smart investments in marketing and advertising campaigns can raise the awareness of ESG efforts by helping consumers understand why these commitments matter, and how they enhance products and services. Marketing efforts can in turn heavily influence consumer purchasing trends and increase your market share.
Effective leadership in this realm requires having the courage to act on your values and bring your purpose to life. Conducting a thorough assessment of your ESG commitments and communications strategy can put your company on the right path to delivering purposeful impact within your organization, to your stakeholders and your community, and the rest of the world.
As a firm powered by purpose, Taft understands the importance of ensuring that an organization's values work to create change and drive it forward, and that effectively communicating value- and purpose-driven actions, both internally and externally, is critical to an organization's overall success and sustainability.
"Without a sense of purpose, no company, either public or private, can achieve its full potential. It will ultimately lose the license to operate from key stakeholders. It will succumb to short-term pressures to distribute earnings, and, in the process, sacrifice investments in employee development, innovation, and capital expenditures that are necessary for long-term growth."
— Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock (2018)

We created a portfolio of the items we wanted to sell and stocked up on our merchandise. We created signs for our booth and bought racks to jazz it up. Everything was set, but we didn't know how to join a bazaar.
I searched online (Thank you, Google!) and found a list of bazaars lined up for the rest of the year. After rigorous searching of contact details of event organizers, I sent a gazillion proposals and requests to join their upcoming events. Thankfully, we received feedback immediately and got to participate in our first bazaar ever!
Joining bazaars can be quite tricky. Especially if it's your first time to join one. So, I wanted to share some of the things I learned during my "Bazaar" escapades.
When our shop, eenieminniemo, got accepted as one of the merchants for the first time we were thrilled. So thrilled that we arrived almost three hours before the actual call time. No one was there in the venue. Not even the organizers. We got scared of course, thinking that we got scammed or that we were at the wrong place. But, we were just too excited. On our second time, we arrived on time. We got to set our booth up early and were allowed to sell items even before the event started. However, some booths weren't set up yet since the merchants were late. When they arrived, they were fined and some were even asked to go home instead.
Lesson learned. Don't be early since not seeing anyone there might give you a mini heart attack (especially during your first time) but don't be late, even if other merchants are, never think that it's alright to not arrive on time. Basically, go to the venue maybe thirty minutes before your call time, grab something to eat, drink your daily dose of coffee, and wait patiently for the organizers to let you know that you can set up shop. You might gain a few moolahs even before the bazaar opens!
WATER. I want you to remember two things about water. First is, always have a jug or a bottle of water with you. Keep yourself hydrated. You might be manning your booth for more than nine hours and if you don't have anyone to share the shift with you, you will die of thirst. So, be prepared. Second, if you are in the Philippines or in a country who has bipolar weather, you will know what I am talking about. Even if the weather forecast for your event day is sunny all day long, be prepared for water falling from the sky. It may be just a drizzle or your occasional "rain like it's the end of the world for five minutes causing everyone to panic and then once you've had your laugh bring back the sun as if it's such a perfect day" type of rain. Again, be prepared. I suggest buying a big sheet of plastic cover, double the size of your table, or a waterproof table cloth you can use to cover your merchandise with in case it rains. We use a transparent plastic cover so people can still check your stuff out in case they get stranded on your booth. Bring extra covers too so you can share it with those in need.
Watching over a booth can be tiring, so you need to fuel up. Bring some snackies! Aside from some snacks, I also suggest to bring packed lunch. Something cooked with vinegar so that it won't go stale. It's better to just save the money you will spend buying food. Snackies is also a good way to start a conversation with other merchants. As we all know, the way to anyone's heart is through their stomach.
One of the things I hate when buying something is when the merchant says "Do you have a smaller bill?" or "I'm sorry, I don't have change yet, I just opened my shop.". Please, as a seller, it's your responsibility to have all the tools to make a successful sale. If you're not aware, change is one of those tools. The only thing that is permanent in this world is change. So bring change wherever you go. You can go to the bank a few days before your event and ask them to break down your large bills. Setting up shop in a bazaar is considered a small business, which means that every single sale counts. Of course we don't want to lose any of those just because we don't have enough coins to provide change.
This is one of the most important things on this list. Truth to be told, no matter how much you love what you are doing, there are instances when you will get bored. Imagine sitting behind a table for more than nine hours, outdoors, where it's super hot. Terrible right? To make things better, talk to those who are around you. Make friends. Share stories.
I've learned a lot of things during my bazaar experiences and I also met so many people who shared the same interest as me. I never thought I would find a group that would make me feel so at home even if I was just a first timer. Bazaars will help you expend your network, meet amazing folks who can teach you new things sometimes even train you to add new skills to your repertoire. There's nothing better than surrounding yourself with people who get you, right?
Joining events like these can be scary at first, you might think that it's not worth it, it's a waste of time, or that you will never make a cent out of it. But I think you should try it out before you judge it. There are people who will appreciate the things you make, people who will be happy to share their knowledge and experiences with you, people who want to learn about your own adventures too. Who knows, you might be the next big thing!

ACI has engaged Canadian investors for investing in the United States commercial real estate market. This relationship continues to grow as more investors take notice of the potential of entering into this market.
ACI is a Canadian company with USA subsidiaries. ACI has over a decades worth of experience working within the US commercial real estate market, and our expertize makes allows us to partner with Canadian investors to seek out ideal investment opportunities.
ACI has partnered with ROCK Advisors, a Canadian commercial real estate firm in order to bring forth active Canadian investors for US apartment investments. Click here to see the US opportunities that ROCK are currently promoting.
What are the benefits to investing in US construction deals for multi-unit residential rental properties?
The demand for rental properties is currently very high, making such investments opportunistic. The economy continues to recover from the last recession, but the housing market is still tough, making the rental properties the ideal choice for younger generations. More and more people are opting to rent instead of buy in the current market, driving the market for luxury and market-rate rental property developments.
Furthermore, the other growing demographic is the aging population. There is a growing demand for senior living products as the population ages and requires more care. Today, the demand for senior living in the USA exceed supply. The opportunity is to invest in this product type early before more investors recognize and enter the market, inevitably increasing competition and reducing the diversity of opportunities.
Strong developer profits driven by low cap rates.
Earning a preferred rate of return on investment during construction.
Option to sell once the property is stabilized, or hold for a longer period.
Diversity of individual markets allowing for options in terms of chosen location and product type.
The US dollar remains strong.
ACI uses it's resources and expertize to qualify incoming clientele and deal flow before it reaches any investor for review. Our sponsor's and partners have the experience and track record of performance to ensure a quality and straightforward development process.
Our investors will earn a preferred rate of return (usually 8%) during construction.
Generally, developments are scheduled: one year to build, one year to stabilize occupancy, then sell within 3 or 5 years (unless a decision is made to hold the property).
IRRs of 25% – 30% or greater.
Equity multiples 2.0x – 3.0x or greater.
Timing of investment abut 3 – 5 years.
All projects will have a qualified third part market feasibility study as well as an appraisal prepared and available before ACI brings a project to an investor. These studies go into detail as to the feasibility of a project in a given market, including suggested unit numbers, unit mixes, and rent levels.
In general, apartment rents and occupancy are steadily rising in most markets of the US as demand increases.
Risk is minimized as deals ACI brings forward are with developers with large portfolios and strong biographies with many years experience in the business, often with their own construction and management company.
Our partners are often open to discussing who will construct the development, and who will ultimately operate it, should an incoming investor wish make a suggestion.
