Winter weddings are always prone to dodgy weather,but think of it you can include some of our summers in that too.As a wedding photographer in Darwen you have to use any good weather opportunities that come along on the day ,also the length of daylight is a factor too and if you throw in a venue that is Sunnythurst woods that doesn't get much sunlight even in mid summer then your creativity in the lighting department is called on even more.
,its not all glamorous being a wedding photographer. The ceremony was at St Peters Church in the centre of Darwen,I must admit I'd no idea it was there until we did a recce the week before,but it was an impressive building anyway,I always prefer a church only because the shots are easier to do in terms of backgrounds ,they just look right with a church.
I usually use a second shooter these days,my other half Leanne,she's quite adept these days with a canon.She took up her position on a balcony overlooking the whole wedding and I waited for the bride to arrive in the car. After taking shots of her walking in I took up position to the left hand side of the vicar at the side and told I couldn't move around,usual conditions for a church.Everything went to plan we did the fake registry signing and then did some shots of bride and groom leaving the church,just using available light.It was bitterly cold out so we decided to take some group shots inside in front of the alter.
After this we packed our gear up to move onto the venue,The Olde England Kiosk | Sunnyhurst Wood | Darwen ,when we got there the weather was dry and we had a hour to do bride and groom shots with off camera flash in pre selected places,planning is everything in this game .The shots were beautiful and we'd do some more later after the wedding breakfast and speeches,though it was now dark in the woods.We'd practised a sparkler shot that the bride and groom would draw out half a heart each,we did about 5 takes on this to get a good one,they're a bit hit and miss because you're relying on the couple forming the shape right .We got a got a good one in the end and then some more group shots though to lock focus you do need some light so Leanne used a torch to spot the target up and it worked a treat.Something else we've learned from a wedding ,sparklers and focus lock in near no light.We moved inside and caught the cake cutting and first dance before we gathered our kit up and left for home and a well deserved brew.

Nutri Ninja vs Nutribullet Blender Comparison
Nutri Ninja vs Nutribullet which of these bullet style blenders is the right one for your kitchen ?
The easiest, most flavorful way to get in your five daily servings of fruits and veggies is by drinking them in delicious smoothies. But, what's the best at-home blender to make those amazing smoothies?
In the countertop blender world, the NutriBullet first made a name for itself as a blender similarly made to the Magic Bullet, created and marketed extensively via infomercials by Homeland Housewares.
It's extremely popular, with thousands of reviews and satisfied users. It also opened up a whole new market for single-use, fast, and easy countertop blenders, so the Nutri Ninja appeared. It's made by the SharkNinja company, who also manufacture vacuum cleaners.
If you are in a hurry and don't have the time to spend reading the rest of this article the comparison between Nutri Ninja vs Nutribullet our top pick is the Nutri Ninja.
The Nutri Ninja has a slight edge on power a better blending performance and is better value.
1000 Watt motor
Auto-IQ pre-programmed modes
Superior blade design
In this article, we'll go through every single feature that you look for in a countertop blender, then compare the two.
Which one is better? How do they compare when deciding which features are the best? What is the difference between the Nutri Ninja and Nutribullet? Which one makes a better smoothie? Read on to find out more!
Nutri Ninja Auto-IQ
The Nutri Ninja Auto-IQ blender is powered by a 1000 Watt motor that can handle ice, seeds, root vegetables, frozen fruit and just about any other smoothie ingredients you can think of.
The Auto-IQ feature gives you two different pre-programmed settings for different types of blending: Auto-IQ Blend and Auto-IQ Ultra Blend.
Auto-IQ Blend - for use on softer ingredients that don't require too much power to get the job done.
Auto-IQ Ultra Blend - When you need to tackle tougher ingredients such as nuts, seeds, ice and frozen fruit the Ultra Blend setting is the one to go for.
The Ultral-Blend settings has a number of pauses throughout the blending cycle that lasts about a minute. Each pause allows for the heavier material that is not yet broken up to sink down to the blades ready to be pulsed when the pause if finished.
This press and go feature is a real joy as you don't need to stand over the Ninja and manually stop it to ensure everything is getting blended equally like you do with the Nutribullet.
The full set includes:
18 ounce Tritan cup
24 ounce Triton cup
2 spout lids
1000 Watt Nutri Ninja base
30 recipe guide
Instruction book with quick start guide
There is also a start stop button should you wish to do the blending in a more manual manner.
Auto-IQ preset programs for different types of ingredients
Manual dual speed
BPA free and dishwasher safe
Nurtibullet Pro
The Nutribullet Pro is powered by a 900 Watt motor which can handle practically any fruit and almost all vegetables with ease.
It is quite a compact design so it will take up only a small space on your countertop, or can be stored easily away out of sight when not in use.
The 13-Piece Set includes:
High-toque Power Base
Emulsifying Extractor Blade
2 32oz Colossal Cups
2 Flip-Top Lids
2 Handled Lip Rings
2 Comfort Lip Rings
Blasting for Optimum Health Recipe Book
Pocket Nutritionist
The Pro is one hell of a blender and has firmly replaced the original 600 Watt Nutribullet as their most popular model.
You get two colossal 32 ounce cups with a number of extra lids. Those larger sized cups make preparing a large smoothie or protein drink ahead of time a real time saver.
The Nutribullet is a breeze to use, pop in your favorite ingredients(bulky items first) add some water or other liquid, screw on the blade bottom, flip it over and insert into the base, twist and away it goes.
Unfortunately the Nutribullet is a single speed blender so it would be nice to have the ability to control it just like the Nutri Ninja.

Nutri Ninja vs Nutribullet
Before we begin this battle of the blenders, we'll go through each category to see which one is the best. We're looking at the following four criteria:
When shopping for your next small countertop blender, the design is probably the first feature to catch your eye.
You want a blender that is small and compact, while still being powerful. It should also be as quiet as possible, since many of us prefer a breakfast smoothie without waking up the entire household.
In this respect, the Nutri Ninja and the NutriBullet differ quite widely. Let's take a look at each one's design, to see which is the clear winner in this blender battle.
As soon as you unbox the Nutri Ninja, you'll notice that it's much larger than the NutriBullet. Its base is thicker at the top, with angled sides.
There are rubber feet underneath that attach it securely to your countertop. To lift it off the counter, simply tilt it backwards and the suction should come off.
The tall plastic cup is also angled on the sides, similar to the NutriBullet cup. This company offers up to three different cup sizes of 24 oz, 18 oz, or 12 oz. Each come with a Sip & Seal lid and have a "Max" line on the plastic, to let you know how much to fill it.
Except for the Auto-iQ model, which has programmable buttons, with the Nutri Ninja, you press down on the top of the cup to get it to pulse and it does not have any additional speeds.
The Nutri Ninja is much noisier than the NutriBullet, thanks to its more powerful 900 or 1000 watt motors. That does have the positive quality of improving the blending capability.
It's also much larger and bulkier, taking up more counter space. Some users have commented that it doesn't have the same durability as a NutriBullet and feels like it's made with less-expensive materials.
The NutriBullet first caught the public's eye with its sleek, almost space-age design, and it continues to provide a handsome appearance on your kitchen counter.
You can see how the smaller model 600 stacks up against the Magic Bullet here.
It's more attractively designed than the Nutri Ninja, with an overall conical shape that saves space. It has a circular, brushed metal base that contains the 900 watt power motor.
The blending cups come in two different sizes of either small (18 oz) or large (24 oz), with handles and lids. You can also purchase a separate 32 ounce size.
The cups have a 'Max' fill line on them, and you are advised to pay close attention to not filling with foods or liquids over that, or leakage will occur. Also, the blade housing must be screwed on securely before placing in the base as well.
While the motor on this NutriBullet is smaller than the Nutri Ninja, it does have an added bonus of also being quieter. While it still does make a loud blending noise, it's not as much of a racket as the Ninja.
Overall, this product is made well, is solidly built, and it has a cool, eye-catching design that not only makes it nice to look at but contributes to the NutriBullet's overall function.
Winner: NutriBullet definitely wins this category of design.
When the primary function for these little blenders is to blend, then we have to do a complete comparison of the two!
Blending depends on the types of foods being processed, the blender's motor, the actual blending time, and the blade position.
The Nutri Ninja blending power and superior smoother texture come from its more powerful motors. The Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ has a 1000 watt motor, while the Nutri Ninja Pro has a 900 watt motor. That's probably the reason why the base is much larger than the NutriBullet base, too.
The more powerful the motor, the better it is able to crush difficult things like ice or seeds. The Ninja also blends your smoothies and foods into a much smoother texture than the NutriBullet. You won't find much 'grindness' or 'coarseness' or pulp after blending.
As with its competitor, you want to carefully pack the Nutri Ninja blending cup in order to get the most of its blending power. Add liquids only up to the 'max' line. Start by pulsing, and then blend to desired consistency.
Just because the Nutri Ninja wins doesn't mean that the NutriBullet Pro doesn't have devoted buyers who prefer its blended texture. However, we did have to dock points, since the motor isn't as powerful, at only 900 watts.
It does deliver a good texture, although you might find more grittiness, coarseness, or pulp when compared to the Nutri Ninja.
As with that other blender, it's important to follow instructions about the most correct way to load the blending cup, starting with heavier fruits and vegetables on the bottom.
The reason it doesn't blend as well as the Ninja is because of the blade design, which was discussed above. It doesn't reach up into the contents to get the smoothest texture.
Most NutriBullet models don't blend ice, so you'll have to add liquid or yogurt only. Only add it up until the 'Max' line on the cup. Despite its weaker motor, many customers prefer the NutriBullet's blending power and use it frequently.
Winner: While it isn't as easy to operate in terms of quick blending like the NutriBullet, the Nutri Ninja wins this category for overall blending power and texture; it beats the bullet, shall we say?
As a general rule of thumb, both of these blenders, the Nutri Ninja and the NutriBullet, are easy to use.
You fill the cups with fruits and vegetables, add water up to the max line, add the blade housing top, flip them over, and pulse until you reach the desired blending consistency.
You can purchase upgraded models with fancier features, but even those are easy to understand.
If you've only had a NutriBullet before and are switching over to the Nutri Ninja, then you'll find it works in roughly the same way and is just as easy to use.
The 'max' line is at a different height than the same line on the NutriBullet's cup, which is something to watch out for. That's the maximum fill line for liquids.
The Nutri Ninja also comes with a recipe booklet for creating simple recipes. You can make smoothies, salad dressing, soups, and snack dips, too.
The Nutri Ninja Auto-iQ Blender has four buttons on the front to start/stop, blend, pulse, or ultra blend, as well as a countdown timer for each option.
Overall, it's a very simple machine to operate and, although there's an instruction manual included, doesn't take more than a couple of minutes to set up and start blending.
The NutriBullet really set the standard for small smoothie blenders, and one of the biggest reasons is that it's so easy to use. There are no buttons to push, or levers to press, or controls to fiddle with.
One good tip about filling the cup is to add heavier foods first, so they can press down on lighter foods like spinach or kale. After filling the cup, you screw on the blade housing, then flip it upside down and set on the NutriBullet base.
The small indentations line up on the base, and then you simply press down to pulse and blend the foods together.
Some of the newer models are hands free, which is a nice feature and makes it even easier. You blend until you get your desired smoothness, then take it off the base, unscrew the blade housing, and it's ready to drink.
Winner: It's a tie in this category.
A blender like the NutriBullet or the Nutri Ninja is designed for daily use, so maintaining it in top form for months at a time is essential.
This includes cleaning of all the parts, adding or using accessories, and being careful to use it properly. Read on to see which one ends up scoring big in this category.
The Nutri Ninja has a totally different blade design than the NutriBullet, so that means it's not encased in its housing. It protrudes from the rest of its circular housing, and you'll notice that all the parts are made out of metal. That means it's especially durable and long lasting.
Also, the metal blades can be easily reached for cleaning. You can clean the tops of the blades, underneath the blades, and all the way around the interior of the blade housing. It's designed for easy access to all its parts.
The plastic cups are fairly easy to keep clean, just like any other plastic dish. They are dishwasher safe and it's recommended to wash them in hot soapy water as well. Keep them clean, and they'll last for months.
The cup tops screw on and stay there. The plastic is durable and meant to last. Besides those maintenance tips, you're also advised to wipe down the base of the Nutri Ninja after use, which will keep it in good working order.
The NutriBullet, due to its more straightforward and sleeker design, is actually more difficult to clean than the Nutri Ninja. That's because of the blade design.
The blades are held inside the circular housing. This allows you to put more fruits and veggies inside the cup, but it also makes the blades extremely difficult to clean.
Also, not all of the blade parts are metal. They're held in place with plastic parts, which have been known to collect water or bits of food and even grow moldy over time. It's very hard to clean underneath the blades, which increases the risk for mold and rust as well.
Due to this blade design flaw, you can expect to have your NutriBullet for a shorter period of time than the Nutri Ninja before it becomes too hard to maintain and keep clean.
The NutriBullet cups are just as easy to clean as the Nutri Ninja, with a nice wide mouth that's large enough to fit your hand. They're durable and dishwasher safe as well.
Winner: Due to its blade design and the sturdiness and easy cleanliness of the mechanism, the Nutri Ninja wins this category.
Nutribullet vs Nutri Ninja: winner ?
Now that we've come to the end of our blender battle, it's easy to see why the NutriBullet's popularity kicked off a range of imitators, the Nutri Ninja being the most success.
Which one is better for you Nutri Ninja vs Nutribullet ? Let's look at the winners of each category.
Design - Nutribullet
Blending - Nutri Ninja
Ease of use - Tie
Maintenance - Nutri Ninja
The Nutri Ninja is the clear winner here, with a score of three vs two for the NutriBullet.
The Nutri Ninja wins because of its superior motor power, its blending mechanism that creates a smoother texture, and it has a better blade design.
However, be on the lookout for Nutribullet to keep releasing new models. They're still extremely popular!

America Ferrera on Her New Book And Seeing More Latinas in Hollywood Directing
Instagram/americaferrera
America Ferrera is up to a lot these days. The 34-year-old actress who just had her first child, son Sebastian four months ago, with husband Ryan Piers Williams, has a lot of exciting projects she's working on. For starters, her hit NBC show Superstore is returning for it's fourth season and her new book American Like Me: Reflection On Life Between Cultures is officially out September 25th. In a recent appearance on The Morning show, Ferrera talks about what inspired her to edit this collection of personal essays and why she thinks these stories are so important.
"I grew up never seeing my experience of being American in the culture. I am whole-ly American, fully American, and yet inextricably linked to my family's roots in another country and that experience as an American, I never saw reflected back as me," she said. "And I felt alone and isolated in that experience until I grew up and realized, that is so many people's American experience and it's lacking in the cultural narrative, so I wanted to do this book and not just tell my own story but invite thirty-some of my favorite people Lin-Manuel Miranda, Uzo Aduba, Issa Rae, just wonderful—Kumail Nanjiani—just wonderful people to tell their story so that young people can look at a book and see their own experience reflected back at them by people who are awesome and making culture."
Ferrera even spoke a bit about how her experience directing and shouted out some of her Latina friends and colleagues who have inspired her to direct.
"Oh my gosh, I love it so much. It's so wonderful to direct and you know it's great on the show, but you know I'm so inspired by all of my friends who I see also just stepping up and doing it," she says. "Eva Longoria is directing up a storm. Gina Rodriguez is directing on Jane The Virgin. We see each other doing it and it inspires us because it's a lot and it's hard work and it's sometimes scary but when you see others taking that step, you just go for it."
We're definitely inspired to see more Latinas taking on directing roles and hoping that this encourages young Latinas to know they can take these kinds of leadership positions in the acting world—or in any industry—too.

Game industry veteran Howard Scott Warshaw took the stage at GDC 2015 to deliver a Classic Game Postmortem of his very first game, the seminal Atari 2600 title Yars' Revenge, and in the process he shared some valuable insight into a pivotal period of game industry history.
Warshaw's efforts at Atari in the '80s helped advance the practice of game design; his work on Raiders of the Lost Ark is one of the earliest examples of highly successful licensed game development, while the unreasonable pressures put upon him to create a game with the E.T. license led to a financial failure that presaged the North American game industry crash of 1983.
He touched on all these topics during his GDC talk, which was predominantly focused on diving deep into his work designing and coding Yars' Revenge, widely believed to be one of the most popular Atari 2600 games.
It was a remarkable talk, and now you can watch a recording of it (embedded above) for free over on the GDC Vault.

Q: How to use virtual functions in derived objects without new? I would like to use virtual functions of objects of different classes (derived from the same base class) without a) constructing all the objects or b) using new. Please see the code example:
#include <iostream>
class A{
    public:
    virtual void p(void){std::cout << "Im A" << std::endl;};
};
class B : public A{
    public:
    virtual void p(void) override {std::cout << "Im B" << std::endl;};
};
class C : public A{
    public:
    virtual void p(void) override {std::cout << "Im C" << std::endl;};
};

int main(){
    bool cond = true;   // some condition
    A* o1;
    if (cond) o1 = new B(); else o1 = new C();
    o1->p();    // will call correct p(), i.e. either B::p or C::p but not A::p

    A o2 = B();
    o2.p();     // will call A::p

    A* o3;
    B tmp1; C tmp2; // construct both objects altough only one is needed
    if (cond) o3 = &tmp1; else o3 = &tmp2;
    o3->p();    // will call correct p(), i.e. either B::p or C::p but not A::p

    A* o4;
    if (cond) {B tmp; o4 = &tmp;} else {C tmp; o4 = &tmp;}  // uses address of local variable
    o4->p();    // will call correct p(), i.e. either B::p or C::p but not A::p

    return 0;
}

I want the behavior of o1 but without calling new. o2 doesnt work (calls function of base class and if base class is abstract it doesnt work at all). o3 works but constructs all the different objects although only one is needed. o4 kinda "works" but uses a reference to a local variable outside of its scope.
What would be the correct / best / modern C++ way to do it?

A:
How to use virtual functions in derived objects without new

Like this:
B b;
C c;

A& a = cond ? b : c;
a.p();

without a) constructing all the objects

You can also do this:
if (cond) {
    B b;
    b.p();
} else {
    C c;
    c.p();
}

At this point it doesn't really matter that the function is virtual though since we are using static dispatch. Which is better than dynamic dispatch.

o4 kinda "works" but uses a reference to a local variable outside of its scope.

I.e. the behaviour of the program is undefind i.e. it doesn't work at all.

A: It will be better to use a helper function when you want to avoid using new but be able to use different derived types based on some condition.
void do_stuff(A& obj)
{
}

int main()
{
    bool cond = true;   // some condition

    if (cond)
    {
       B tmp;
       do_stuff(tmp);
    }
    else
    {
       C tmp;
       do_stuff(tmp);
    }

    return 0;
}

A: If using placement new is acceptable, you can use a union to hold the storage, then construct the proper member based on the condition:
union U {
    U() { }
    B b;
    C c;
};

int test(bool cond) {
    U u;
    A *a2;
    if (cond)
        a2 = new (&u.b) B;
    else
        a2 = new (&u.c) C;

    a2->p();
    return 0;
}

The constructor in the union is necessary since the default constructor will be implicitly deleted due to the presence of non-trivial default constructors for the members of the union.
You'll also have to manually destroy your objects when you're done.

A: For starters this code snippet
A* o4;
if (cond) {B tmp; o4 = &tmp;} else {C tmp; o4 = &tmp;}  // uses address of local variable
o4->p();    // will call correct p(), i.e. either B::p or C::p but not A::p

has undefined behavior because outside the if statement the pointer o4  is invalid due to the fact that the local object tmp is not alive outside the scopes of the if sub-statement.
As for this code snippet
A o2 = B();
o2.p();     // will call A::p

then you should use a reference to an object of the type B. For example
B b;
A &o2 = b;
o2.p();

As for the code snippet with the pointer o1 then in any case pointed objects must exists. Either they will be created dynamically as in your example or you can create the both locally and then depending on the condition set the pointer to one of them.

A: If you're worried about using new because of memory management, just use a std::shared_ptr instead:
int main(){
    bool cond = true;   // some condition
    std::shared_ptr<A> o1;

    if(cond) {
        o1 = std::make_shared<B>();
    } else {
        o1 = std::make_shared<C>();
    }

    o1->p();

    return 0;
}

Prints:
Im B

Working example

Note: I was originally going to suggest an std::unique_ptr instead, however I didn't think they were copyable. But I was wrong. std::unique_ptrs will work too.

Note 2: you will need C++14 or later to use std::make_shared() or std::make_unique, but new will work in C++11. That violates your rule of not using new, but at least it does manage memory for you.

A: If you want to avoid new mainly to avoid the extra cleanup code and potential bugs from dangling pointers, double deletes, etc., just use std::unique_ptr:
std::unique_ptr<A> o1;
if (cond)
    o1 = std::make_unique<B>();
else
    o1 = std::make_unique<C>();
o1->p();

This will do essentially the same as the code using new, but behind the scenes, and also does the delete for you when o1 goes out of scope.
If you have a performance-critical code bottleneck and want to avoid the overhead of the heap memory allocation and deallocations used by new, things get trickier, but you could do it with something like:
using B_or_C_type = std::variant<B,C>;
auto o5 = cond ? B_or_C_type{B{}} : B_or_C_type{C{}};;
std::visit(std::mem_fn(&A::p), o5);

On typical systems, this code will avoid using any heap memory at all, instead using stack memory large enough to hold the larger of B or C. std::variant has the logic to act like a union but making sure only the correct type actually gets used. std::visit applies any functor to a variant, as long as the functor can be called with every type in the variant. Note if you define a variant variable with no initializer, it creates an object with the first type, though it can be reassigned to a different-typed object later. (If creating that default object isn't possible or should be avoided, you could use std::monostate as the first dummy type - but then using std::visit gets trickier.)

Everything You Need to Know About Alibaba
In the United States, it's impossible to talk about ecommerce without touching on Amazon. According to eMarketer, Amazon controlled an estimated 37.7% share of the U.S. ecommerce market in 2019, which is far more than its closest competitor. Also, a majority of U.S. households (62%, to be exact) now have an Amazon Prime subscription.
Indeed, Amazon is so big that its influence extends beyond the business world; it's become an integral part of American culture.
But when you zoom out from the American perspective and look at the entire world, Amazon is no longer the leader of the ecommerce industry. Amazon had a 10% share of the global ecommerce market when measured by 2018 GMV. This was behind the China-based companies Tmall (13%) and Taobao (16%).
These results are even more striking when you consider that Tmall and Taobao are both subsidiaries of the same company: Alibaba Group. Tmall is the world's biggest B2C marketplace, and Taobao is the world's biggest C2C marketplace. Alibaba Group also owns the world's biggest B2B marketplace, Alibaba.com, as well as a number of other notable subsidiaries.
We'll give you the lowdown on the biggest player in the global ecommerce industry.
The History of Alibaba
Jack Ma, then a 34-year-old entrepreneur, launched Alibaba in 1999. The company was comprised of Ma and a team of 17 of his friends and students.
Ma got the name "Alibaba" from the Arabian folk tale "Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves." Ma found that people from all over the world were already familiar with Ali Baba (this story is where the phrase "open sesame" comes from), which is why he chose it.
By January 2000, Alibaba had raised $25 million in venture capital. That funding got the ball rolling — Alibaba reached 1 million users in 2001, and it became cash-flow positive the following year.
Over the next several years, Alibaba's key subsidiaries were launched:
Taobao in 2003,
Alipay in 2004 (this service is similar to PayPal — in fact, it overtook PayPal as the largest mobile payments platform in the world in 2013),
Tmall in 2008, and
AliExpress in 2010.
Alibaba went public on the New York Stock Exchange in 2014, and its IPO of $25 billion was the biggest in history at the time (since then, only the Saudi Aramco IPO in December 2019 has surpassed it).
As of January 2020, Alibaba Group has a market cap of approximately $615 billion.
Key Figures of Alibaba
Just as top entrepreneurs such as Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerburg have become some of the biggest celebrities in America, two of the most influential people in China are Alibaba's Jack Ma and Daniel Zhang.
Image source: Financial Times
Jack Ma has spoken often about how many times he had to fail before he found success. Chinese entrance exams for college are only held once every year, and it took Ma four years to pass. After graduating with a bachelor's degree, he applied to Harvard Business School 10 times and was denied each time. He couldn't even get a job at KFC.
When Amazon founder Jeff Bezos saw that internet use was growing by over 20 times per year in 1994, it inspired him to quit his job as an investment banker and start his own internet company. Ma's career took a similar route — also in 1994, Ma was so impressed by the potential of the internet that he started his own internet company. And a few ventures later, he founded Alibaba.
Ma stepped down as chairman of Alibaba in September 2019, citing plans to focus more on philanthropy. With a fortune of $44.8 billion (as of January 2020), he is now the richest man in China and the 21st richest man in the world.
Daniel Zhang
Image source: Wired
When Ma stepped down, Daniel Zhang was chosen to replace him as chairman. With a background in investment banking and accounting, Zhang was initially hired in 2007 as the CFO of Taobao. He rose from there to COO of Taobao in 2008, President of Tmall in 2011, COO of Alibaba Group in 2013 and finally CEO of Alibaba Group in 2015.
Zhang's greatest achievement is his role in the creation of Singles Day. This shopping holiday for bachelors has become the biggest ecommerce event in the world. In 2019, Singles Day generated over $38 billion in sales. For comparison, Cyber Monday 2019 generated $9.2 billion.
The Different Alibaba Platforms
The different subsidiaries of Alibaba Group are built for different types of sellers and buyers, so we'll break down this guide by platform.
Alibaba.com is not as China-focused as Taobao and Tmall. This B2B site is automatically presented in English in English-speaking countries, and one-third of its buyers are based in the U.S.
Starting in July 2019, Alibaba.com now allows American users to be sellers on the platform in addition to buyers. That presents U.S. businesses not just with the opportunity to sell to Chinese businesses, but also to the large number of Canadian, Brazilian and Indian businesses that use Alibaba.com.
Pros and Cons of Using Alibaba.com
For American buyers, there are many advantages to using Alibaba.com for overseas sourcing:
Generally, overseas sourcing costs less than domestic sourcing.
Smaller businesses can often find overseas suppliers with lower minimum order thresholds than their domestic sourcing options.
Alibaba.com provides businesses with many options for overseas sourcing (there are millions of products and hundreds of thousands of sellers on the platform) and makes it easy to compare them against each other.
There are potential disadvantages to using Alibaba.com for overseas sourcing as well:
Your customers may perceive overseas products to be of lower quality than domestic products.
There's no convenient way to conduct an on-site visit before you make a purchase.
Shipping takes longer.
As for sellers on Alibaba.com, this platform certainly does provide you with access to a huge number of potential buyers. The fees are manageable, too — for orders under $5,000, sellers pay a service charge of 1% if it's shipped through Alibaba logistics or 2% if it's shipped through a third-party vendor (this fee is capped at $100). There is no service charge for orders over $5,000.
Sellers have the option of using Alibaba's free plan, which allows them to display up to 50 products on the platform. They can also upgrade to Gold Supplier status, which gives them the ability to list unlimited products and provides them with other perks as well.
There are two tiers of Gold Supplier membership:
Basic: Compared to the free plan, extra features include data and reporting, local email support, and a $500 keyword advertising credit. This plan costs $2,399 per year.
Premium: Includes all the features of the Basic Gold Supplier plan, plus a dedicated account manager, a monthly performance consultation and a $2,000 keyword advertising credit. This plan costs $4,199 per year.
Merchants that apply for Gold Supplier membership will need to pass Alibaba's thorough authentication and verification procedure to be approved. After you upgrade to a paid plan, you can display an icon on your storefront that indicates your Gold Supplier status. This will make your storefront look more credible and trustworthy to shoppers.
Taobao is the world's most popular ecommerce site by sales as well as the 8th-most popular website (as of January 2020) on the entire internet. The name "Taobao" roughly translates to "finding a diamond in the rough," which represents how users can find high-quality products at low prices on the platform.
Taobao allows small businesses and individuals to create their own storefronts. Then, they can sell their items at a fixed price or as an auction (most items are listed at a fixed price).
The Taobao site is in Chinese by default, even for users located in the U.S. and other countries that primarily speak another language. A separate plugin or app would need to be used for translation. So, it should be no surprise that the majority of Taobao sales are made in Chinese-speaking regions such as mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Pros and Cons of Using Taobao
The primary advantage to selling on Taobao is that it opens you up to the huge market of ecommerce buyers in China. In 2019, retail ecommerce sales totaled an estimated $1.935 trillion in China, which was significantly more than any other country.
Another plus is that there are no fees for listing or selling products on Taobao. And with Alipay, it has a built-in secure system for payments
One drawback to using Taobao is the platform is known to have a problem with counterfeit goods, which can be difficult to compete with.
Like Taobao, this B2C site is in Chinese and does not automatically adjust based on the geolocation of the visitor, making it primarily for Chinese-speaking shoppers.
However, Tmall has recently made it easier for English-speaking merchants to use the platform. In June 2019, Tmall launched a new portal that allows sellers to fill in product details in English. Then, Tmall will contact the seller within 72 hours to let them know if their products are approved for listing. Previously, this process could only be done in person.
Pros and Cons of Using Tmall
Tmall also gives you a way into the lucrative Chinese market, but you'll need to pay for that privilege.
Merchants are required to pay a one-time security deposit of 50,000 to 300,000 Chinese yuan (approximately $7,289 to $43,734 USD), which is held as collateral in the case of any damages incurred by Tmall or customers. On top of that, there's an annual fee of 30,000 to 60,000 Chinese yuan ($4,373 to $8,747 USD) and a small commission fee for every item sold.
AliExpress is similar to Alibaba.com in that it's also automatically shown in English to visitors with a geolocation in an English-speaking country. In fact, AliExpress doesn't even allow merchants to ship to China. Although most of the merchants are based in China, this platform is specifically for international sales.
Pros and Cons of Using AliExpress
With AliExpress, you get access to buyers in approximately 220 countries. Also, your product listings are automatically translated into 18 different languages.
One notable aspect of AliExpress is that a large amount of feedback is collected and publicly displayed for each storefront, including:
The overall star rating and text review left by each previous customer
The percentage of your feedback that was positive
How closely your products matched their descriptions, measured on a 1 to 5 star scale
Communication, measured on a 1 to 5 star scale
Shipping speed, measured on a 1 to 5 star scale
For the Item as Described, Communication and Shipping Speed ratings, it's also displayed how much lower or higher your ratings are compared to the average AliExpress store.
This feedback system can be both a benefit and a liability to online stores. It does give you an opportunity to prove your worth to potential customers and set yourself apart from the competition. On the other hand, it also puts a lot of pressure on your store to perform well. A few mistakes could cost you a lot of sales.
AliExpress charges sellers a commission fee of 5% to 8%, depending on the product category.
Food products and media (books, CDs, DVDs, etc.) cannot be sold on AliExpress.
Making International Sales Without Alibaba
Of course, you don't absolutely need an Alibaba storefront in order to make international sales.
If you've already created your own online store with Shogun, it's easy to promote your products to regions that speak different languages. Shogun integrates with Weglot, which allows you to set up a multilingual site in no time. You just need to publish your pages as you normally would in Shogun, and then you can translate the content directly in the Weglot app.

One of the most interesting breakfasts I ever had was an early morning picnic 15 miles into an icefield in Alaska, at the invitation of a local couple with an excessive taste for the outdoors. We set up picnic tables on the ice, ate bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon, and washed them down with an alder-smoked beer made at a small brewery in Juneau, the state capital of Alaska.
I could never have imagined that the making of smoked beer would reach Alaska, or any part of the United States, but there is certainly no brew better suited to the classic New York breakfast: the salmon is smoked, and so is the beer. An Easterner preferring pancakes for breakfast might opt for the maple-smoked beer which is occasionally made at the Vermont Pub and brewery in Burlington.
The arrival of smoked beer at Sainsbury's (my local supermarket) was, I suppose, marginally less exciting. But it has sold well enough these past months to have become a permanent fixture. I resist the temptation to have it with the breakfast kippers, but take a more relaxed view concerning a glass with smoked cheese at lunch, or before an open fire on a winter's night. The aroma of the beechwood in the beer and the logs on the fire conjure entertainingly Gothic dreams.
When I have shared it with friends, some have said it tastes of liquid kippers, while others have compared it to tar.
Perhaps Sainsbury's customers have discovered these delights. Otherwise, on what occasions would they drink such a strange brew? Or do they buy it once and never again? When I have shared it with friends, some have said it tastes of liquid kippers, while others have compared it to tar. You could say that it is the beer world's counterpart to a single malt Scotch from Islay, such as Laphroaig or Lagavulin.
I suppose all beers were once smoky. The barley has, in the malting process, to be dried in a kiln, as it once was over an open fire. Few maltings these days have open fires, but the technique has been retained to some extent in Scotland, in the peat-kilning for whisky.
Some brewers buy whisky malt from Scotland to give a similar tang to their beer. Adelscott, a lightly smoky French Bière au Malt ˆ Whisky, is occasionally sighted in Britain and is available in the Channel ports. I recently sampled a butterscotch-tasting Belgian brew, just as cheekily named McGregor, among 70-odd draughts at Bear Street (the name is in English), a bar opposite the Stock Exchange in Brussels.
A similar beer, called Nessie, is made by the local brewery at Eggenberg, between Salzburg and Linz in Austria. Yet another emanates from a pub-brewery run by Baron Bachofen von Echt, at Nussdorf, on the edge of the Vienna Woods. In the town of Grodzisk, near Poznan in Poland, the local speciality beer is made from malt smoked over oak, but this beer is hard to find.
The heartland of smoked beer is the beautiful, baroque town of Bamberg, in Franconia. Brewing vessels dating from 800 B.C. have been found in this part of Bavaria, and the region is deeply conservative in its beer-making techniques. The area is dense with beech forests, and these provide the fuel that gives such a distinctive taste to the local smoked beer, usually identified on the label as Rauchbier.
The town has nine or 10 breweries, three of which produce smoked beer, and there are several others nearby making the style.
Bamberg, north of Nuremberg and between Bayreuth and WŸrzburg, was established in 1015 by Benedictines. Their former abbey had its own brewery, which is now a museum of beer-making. The town has nine or 10 breweries, three of which produce smoked beer, and there are several others nearby making the style.
One of the producers in Bamberg, the Brauerei Spezial of the family Christian Merz, is also a small and basic inn, with seven bedrooms. Another, the Greifenklau (Griffin's Claw) Brewery, makes a light smoked beer and offers rooms in a modern adjoining hotel, the Altenburgblick.
The most famous producer is the Heller brewery, serving its beer along with smoked meats and other hearty local foods at the vaulted Schenkerla tavern in Dominikaner Strasse. The brewery itself sits above lagering cellars cut into a nearby hillside.
In a barn in the brewery yard are neat racks of beechwood. Below ground, in a cramped corridor, a set of gauges and controls, and a cast-iron hatch in the wall, reveal the beechwood fire. It looks like the firebox of a small locomotive or of a mad inventor's steam-powered submarine.
Above, a small whitewashed building resembling a chapel turns out to be the smokehouse. The grains sit on a mesh and the smoke rises through, swirling like a mist and smelling like a bonfire.
On ground level, the brewhouse has copper vessels, brass rails, white tiled walls and quarry-tiled floors. The place shines with the pride of its owners, the fifth generation of their family to have brewed Aecht ("genuine") Schenkerla Rauchbier.
This is the smoked beer that has found its way to Sainsbury's. It is made to the malty density of a Marzen (March) beer, but emerges with the unexceptional alcohol content of 4.8 per cent. It has an intensely smoky aroma, palate and finish, with a malty middle, only a light hop character, and the smoothness imparted by a lager yeast.
Locals in Bamberg say that at least three litres, perhaps even four or five, must be consumed before the taste can be acquired. They are either being needlessly pessimistic or artfully boosting sales.


News from the Tracking Department continues a theme we're noticing of everything at the North Pole this year: BIG. The guys over there report that this test sleigh is huge — big enough for Santa to haul things like cars and boats (we're not saying Santa is bringing anyone a car or a boat).
We don't know why Santa would need a huge sleigh this year. But we cannot help but notice that there is a BIG new building up here at the North Pole, with a BIG hole in the ground, that they are now filling with a BIG mountain of coal. And now the sleigh is BIG.
We are not sure what it all means other than it is going to be a really BIG Christmas.
We're very excited today for the Halloween party here at the North Pole. Tune in here tomorrow and I'll tell you everything that happened. The Halloween party here at the North Pole is one epic event every single year.
Oh — by the way — have you seen the new homepage of Kringle Radio? Santa's loving the new music there but honestly the elves have just gone crazy over the new look.


Provocation by Syrian Terrorists by gruesome chemical weapons-attack.
The following text about the alleged chemical weapons-attack by Syrian Army units in Syria is a translation of the article by a German blogger. The statements, facts and chain of thoughts are logical, underlined by the truth about alleged evidence, and whoever thinks the Syrian Army / government in Damascus might order such a gruesome chemical weapons-attack on the same day when the team of UN experts arrive in Syria… should apply for a next sequel of Dumb & Dumber.
However, the propaganda against the Syrian government and President Bashar al-Assad works and this shows the lack of caring by many people as well as the lack of a critical consumption of news. Probably, Syria is just an Arab country, far far away.
The recent arrival of UN inspectors in Syria was traditionally marked by a terrible provocation. You are still not really able to say what exactly happened, even not on the next day, but the rebels, and with them the "civilized world", draw a hasty image of a mark-freezing "crime of the Syrian regime", which bombards the civilians with something that is reminiscent of chemical weapons .
The entire body of evidence consists of YouTube videos with people who are wandering and digging in ruins, with victims, lying on the ground, who are writhing in pain and fainting – with countless corpses with no visible external injury. The whole range.
However, there is so many inconsistencies with the evidences that one has not really the desire, to work them all out – nevertheless, "the community" has already began with this work. Alone the situation that people are wandering busy around on the site of the alleged poison gas attack not only without gas masks but even without breathing protections (there are no more Palestine scarves / Keffiyeh in Syria?), speaks volumes.
Today, the cleaning operations began simultaneously in the areas of Jobar (Dschobar), Irbin, Zamalka, Al-Qabun and Madamija, some of these places belong to the area that knows everybody since recently from the media reports under the term of "East Ghouta". The film crew of ANNA news, consisting of four people (Vasily Pavlov, Igor Nadyrschin, Viktor Kuznetsov and Marat Musin), drove to al-Qaboun (al-Qabun) around 5 o`clock today, from where the armoured vehicles of the tank battalions marched out to the places of action.
We have documented every step of the military operation in the hottest combat zone – in Jobar (Dschobar), which is partially under the control of well-trained, professional foreign mercenaries and Wahhabite (Wahhabi) infantry.
We were virtually able to film everything that was going on, as we simultaneously had nine new cameras in use (a part of them installed on armoured vehicles – apxwn) – from the reload of standard ammunition for the armoured vehicles to the set down of the Syrian troops in the combat zone, where they practically came into a scuffle with the foreign mercenaries in the buildings there.
We are able to certainly testify and to completely prove for the UN inspectors on the basis of what we have seen with our own eyes and recorded in the course of the struggle, that in the problem area of East Ghouta – Jobar (Dschobar) – nobody has used chemical weapons.
Meanwhile, in the noise of the media, some material is spotted every now and then that shows the now familiar, till the last pixel, dead bodies out of Cairo's Al-Fateh Mosque (Egypt).
The British had not even managed it to translate the Arab Squiggle from the entire material, as they convened the UN Security Council (UNSC); the "world public" is shocked about the "brutality procedure of the dictator" (of course it is!), and the London Human Rights Observatory puts new details hourly on the serving dish, always with the remark that no one is able to vouch for the authenticity of the information. And all the noise in the media is exactly based on this material, for whose authenticity no one takes the responsibility.
The problem is, however, that the shown bodies are simply real. Many of them are children. The grace of God to whomever has committed this crime, one wants to almost say, and then, you notice that, as far as is humanly possible to tell, you are not able to imagine that the "grace" is also able to span on the killers of these people.
Perhaps it is interesting in the context of these events to recall the situation in northern Syria some weeks ago, as masses of Kurds – and mainly women and children – were abducted by the terrorist gangs. Who knows if the poison was therefore actually real. However, it was most likely no biological warfare agent, otherwise all those who have filmed there, would already lie alongside of the recorded victims.
At that time, about early-mid December 2012, the Syrian rebels have launched a successful attack on the chemical plant in As-Safira near Aleppo. From where the Syrian rebels have fetched several hundred cisterns with chlorine and this report is completely confirmed. This chlorine has already appeared repeatedly on the surface in Aleppo, and that is also the reason why the UN inspectors have travelled to Syria.
In terms of the children, so the Syrian rebels have long ago learned about the effect of such images with children, they work often enough targeted with pictures of children. First, this insidious kind of marketing became known worldwide in al-Hula, from what they must have concluded that such an approach works really fine.
Yesterday's tragedy is a modified copy of what has already been running in this sense since then. Surely, some competent people and institutions must say something about it. But roughly, that will not happen.
Or if they say something, you will not hear it. Simply for the reason that human lives have already become disposable products for small and in principle pointless provocation. According to the motto: "let's see".
Let's see, maybe that's finally enough to that the world community shows empathy with the groaning Syrian people and will bombard it humanitarian, so that it gets rid of its bloody dictator. If this will again not happen, also these children have died for nothing. For nothing, just like that.
And should it be necessary, as it is sure, dear reader, children, women and old people will be killed further on. On an industrial scale. It would not be the first time.
After the already publicly known imitation of the violence at a staged demonstration by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, also analogue material on the above subject has appeared by the "Free Syrian Army" (FSA).

By Chrisbert Garcia: On Wednesday afternoon around 2:25 in Unitedville village, Cayo District, police searched a passenger bus that stopped at a vehicle checkpoint and found two knapsacks containing cannabis inside.
One of the bags contained 8 parcels of cannabis, weighing 3,560 grams and the other contained 9 parcels of the drug, weighing 3,935 grams, bringing the total weight of the find to 16.52 pounds, which was labelled and deposited as "found property" since no owner could be linked to the bags.

Ever since its inception in 2013 in Missoula, Montana, Letter B has never stopped. Born from a thought and a beat, a cadence and a rhyme – a bouncing ball bellowing under the big sky – the folk/rock/indie-hip-pop group draws inspiration from the likes of the Dave Matthews Band, Atmosphere and Ray Lamontagne to blend its down-home roots with a global perspective.
Jarod Kintz once said, "I want to be a creature that's half bee, half the letter b. that way i can pollinate the world with my literacy."
Comprised of a preacher's progeny, duo Jordan Lane (lead vocals, guitar) and Katie C. (vocals) bring their gospel feel alongside Michael English (drums), Ian Velikoff (guitar), and Dillon Johns (bass) to create an endless supply of energy. Katie C's spoken word poem from which the band draws its name can be found on it's debut album "Moving Forward."
"Letter B is a band that inspires movement and freedom, and we just like to celebrate. Our album 'Moving Forward' is about the next level of consciousness. It's a freedom of togetherness."
Since their beginning in the summer of 2013, Boston Tea Party has worked their way into the hearts of countless audiences, one show at a time.
Drawn together for a love of rock and roll, the group brings their diverse tastes into a vibrant scape of alternative rock. Inspired by the lyrical depth and pop sensibility of Third Eye Blind to heavier grooves of Audioslave, Boston Tea Party has created a unique and accessible experience for anyone who hears them.
If you take a look around the tea table, you'll find songsmith – Boston McDonald (Vocals and guitar), musical prodigy- Sean Buress (Lead guitar,synth, theremin), Korey Blithe with the rumbles (Bass and vocals), and hard-hitter- Nic Sibson on the drums.
Boston Tea Party is set to go into the studio to record their debut EP in the summer of 2017.

The Corporate Citizenship by investment (CCBI) is a new concept for business investors, only became popular after late 2010.
The whole idea is applying investment model to acquire a citizenship through corporate investment. The investment must create jobs, sustainable development and economic growth in the country.
Corporate citizenship is not citizenship by investment (CBI). The difference lies in corporate citizenship model must be a large scale business investment, leading to job creation, economic growth, sustainable development and most importantly achieve high standards of living for people. Current CBI schemes involve only donation model, or investment in government bonds that does not lead to job creation. Job creation is the key for the success of the model.
The concept of Corporate citizenship is super interesting from investment point of view especially for governments interested in sustainable development, FDI and job creation.
In real world definition of the Corporate citizenship refers to a company's responsibilities toward society. The goal is companies to produce higher standards of living and quality of life for the communities that surround them and still maintain profitability for stakeholders according to Investopedia.
The same goal applies for corporate citizenship through investment schemes.
The corporate investment projects in these countries produce economic development in these countries, creating more jobs, support growth of tourism, more taxes and VAT collections bringing more benefits to society while still generating profits, while still meeting legal, ethical and economic corporate responsibilities. Job creation, economic growth is the key.
The Corporate investments can be made in any sustainable development projects in these countries such as green energy, education, transport, tourism, information technology, research etc.
We anticipate the rise of corporate citizenships will create a new billion dollar industry in the future, contributing to millions of dollars in FDI business investments expanding to several dozen countries.

Biopharmaceuticals FDA
News Release - May 31, 2016
Allergan Receives FDA Approval of TEFLARO(R) (ceftaroline fosamil) for Pediatric Patients
Label Now Includes New Data on Use of TEFLARO in Pediatric Patients 2 Months of Age to Less than 18 Years of Age with Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) and Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (CABP)
TEFLARO is the First Branded IV Antibiotic Approved for Pediatric Patients in More Than a Decade -
DUBLIN, May 31, 2016 -- (Healthcare Sales & Marketing Network) -- Allergan plc (AGN), a leading global pharmaceutical company, today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved the company's supplemental New Drug Application (sNDA) for TEFLARO® (ceftaroline fosamil), granting new indications for pediatric patients 2 months of age to less than 18 years of age with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI), including infections caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), and community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae and other designated susceptible bacteria.
"The impact of ABSSSI and CABP among children is significant, as these infections often require hospitalization and are met with limited pediatric treatment options, particularly as resistance increases among the pathogens that cause these infections," said David Nicholson, Chief R&D Officer, Allergan. "These new indications are yet another testament to our ongoing research and development in anti-infectives to address the evolving challenges of serious infections. Importantly, it allows us to educate physicians on the data they need to prescribe TEFLARO to appropriate pediatric patients in need of an option that is safe and effective against some of the most difficult-to-treat pathogens in ABSSSI and CABP."
ABSSSI and CABP are common causes of healthcare visits and hospitalizations among children. Studies show more than 70,000 hospitalizations for ABSSSI occur among children per year – a rate that has more than doubled over the past 13 years.1 A study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also found children younger than 5 years of age accounted for 70 percent of children hospitalized for community-acquired pneumonia.2
These new indications were approved based on results from clinical studies evaluating TEFLARO in pediatric patients (2 months to less than 18 years of age), including one active-controlled study in ABSSSI and two active-controlled studies in CABP. In the ABSSSI active-controlled study, the efficacy and safety of TEFLARO was compared with vancomycin or cefazolin (each with optional aztreonam). In the CABP studies, TEFLARO was compared with ceftriaxone. Use of TEFLARO in pediatric patients 2 months to less than 18 years of age is supported by evidence from adequate and well-controlled studies of TEFLARO in adults, as well as additional pharmacokinetic and safety data from pediatric trials.
The primary objective of the pediatric ABSSSI and CABP studies was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of TEFLARO. These studies were not powered for comparative inferential efficacy analysis, and no efficacy endpoints were identified as primary.
To evaluate the treatment effect of TEFLARO in the ABSSSI pediatric trial, an analysis was conducted in 159 patients with ABSSSI in the Modified Intent-to-Treat (MITT) population. This analysis evaluated responder rates based on achieving both cessation of lesion spread and absence of fever on Study Day 3. Patients treated with TEFLARO showed a higher response at Study Day 3 versus the comparator group, with clinical response achieved in 80.4 percent (86/107) of patients treated with TEFLARO and 75 percent (39/52) of patients in the comparator group, with a treatment difference of 5.4 percent (95 percent Confidence Interval [CI] -7.8, 20.3). Clinical cure rates at the test of cure (TOC) visit (8 to 15 days after the end of therapy) for the ABSSSI pediatric trial were 94.4 percent (101/107) for patients treated with TEFLARO and 86.5 percent (45/52) for the comparator, with a treatment difference of 7.9 (95 percent CI -1.2, 20.2).
To evaluate the treatment effect of TEFLARO in the CABP trial submitted for this pediatric filing, an analysis was conducted in 143 patients with CABP in the MITT population. This analysis evaluated responder rates at Study Day 4 based on achieving improvement in at least two out of seven symptoms (cough, dyspnea, chest pain, sputum production, chills, feeling of warmth/feverish and exercise intolerance or lethargy), and worsening in none of these symptoms. The clinical response at Study Day 4 was 69.2 percent (74/107) for patients treated with TEFLARO and 66.7 percent (24/36) for the comparator, with a treatment difference of 2.5 percent (95 percent CI -13.9, 20.9). Clinical cure rates at TOC were 87.9 percent (94/107) for patients treated with TEFLARO and 88.9 percent (32/36) for the comparator, with a treatment difference of -1.0 (95 percent CI -11.5, 14.1).
Results from the clinical studies in pediatric patients showed that TEFLARO demonstrated a safety profile that was compatible with treatment of ABSSSI and CABP at the clinical dosages studied. The safety findings were similar to those seen in the adult studies, and no safety concerns were identified beyond those already known to be cephalosporin class effects.
TEFLARO is the first and only cephalosporin indicated in adults and pediatric patients 2 months of age and older for the treatment of ABSSSI and CABP due to designated susceptible pathogens that can be administered by intravenous (IV) infusion in five minutes to one hour.
ABOUT TEFLARO®
TEFLARO was first approved by the U.S. FDA in October 2010 for the treatment of adults with CABP and ABSSSI due to designated susceptible pathogens. TEFLARO is a bactericidal cephalosporin with activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. TEFLARO is indicated in adult and pediatric patients 2 months of age and older for the treatment of CABP, including cases caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, and ABSSSI, including cases caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). TEFLARO is the first and only cephalosporin with activity against MRSA in ABSSSI. In clinical trials, TEFLARO was generally well-tolerated with an adverse event profile consistent with the cephalosporin class of antibiotics. TEFLARO has been administered in over 2.3 million days of therapy, treating more than 350,000 patients.
Allergan plc (formerly Forest Laboratories) obtained the worldwide rights (excluding Japan, where Takeda Pharmaceuticals holds rights) to TEFLARO in 2007 when it acquired Cerexa, Inc., a privately held biopharmaceutical company. In August 2009, Forest Laboratories and AstraZeneca (AZN) entered into a definitive collaboration agreement to co-develop and commercialize ceftaroline fosamil in all markets outside the U.S., Canada and Japan.
TEFLARO® (ceftaroline fosamil) is indicated in adult and pediatric patients 2 months of age and older for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) caused by susceptible isolates of the following Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms: Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-susceptible and -resistant isolates), Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Klebsiella oxytoca.
TEFLARO is also indicated in adult and pediatric patients 2 months of age and older for the treatment of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) caused by susceptible isolates of the following Gram-positive and Gram-negative microorganisms: Streptococcus pneumoniae (including cases with concurrent bacteremia), Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible isolates only), Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella oxytoca, and Escherichia coli.
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of TEFLARO and other antibacterial drugs, TEFLARO should be used to treat only ABSSSI or CABP that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. Appropriate specimens for microbiological examination should be obtained in order to isolate and identify the causative pathogens and to determine their susceptibility to ceftaroline. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.
TEFLARO is contraindicated in patients with known serious hypersensitivity to ceftaroline or other members of the cephalosporin class. Anaphylaxis has been reported with ceftaroline.
Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions and serious skin reactions have been reported with beta-lactam antibacterial drugs. Before therapy with TEFLARO is instituted, careful inquiry about previous hypersensitivity reactions to other cephalosporins, penicillins, or carbapenems should be made. Maintain clinical supervision if this product is to be given to a penicillin- or other beta-lactam-allergic patient, because cross sensitivity among beta-lactam antibacterial agents has been clearly established.
If an allergic reaction to TEFLARO occurs, discontinue TEFLARO and institute appropriate treatment and supportive measures.
Clostridium difficile-Associated Diarrhea
Clostridium difficile-Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) has been reported for nearly all systemic antibacterial agents, including TEFLARO, and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Careful medical history is necessary because CDAD has been reported to occur more than 2 months after the administration of antibacterial agents. If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, antibacterials not directed against C. difficile should be discontinued, if possible.
Direct Coombs' Test Seroconversion
In adults, seroconversion from a negative to a positive direct Coombs' test result occurred in 120/1114 (10.8%) of patients receiving TEFLARO and 49/1116 (4.4%) of patients receiving comparator drugs in the four pooled adult Phase 3 trials.
In children, seroconversion from a negative to a positive direct Coombs' test result occurred in 42/234 (17.9%) of patients receiving TEFLARO and 3/93 (3.2%) of patients receiving comparator drugs in the three pooled pediatric trials.
No adverse reactions representing hemolytic anemia were reported in any treatment group. If anemia develops during or after treatment with TEFLARO, drug-induced hemolytic anemia should be considered. If drug-induced hemolytic anemia is suspected, discontinuation of TEFLARO should be considered and supportive care should be administered to the patient if clinically indicated.
Development of Drug-Resistant Bacteria
Prescribing TEFLARO in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.
Adverse Reactions in Adults
In the four pooled adult Phase 3 clinical trials, serious adverse reactions occurred in 98/1300 (7.5%) of patients receiving TEFLARO and 100/1297 (7.7%) of patients receiving comparator drugs. Treatment discontinuation due to adverse reactions occurred in 35/1300 (2.7%) of patients receiving TEFLARO and 48/1297 (3.7%) of patients receiving comparator drugs with the most common adverse reactions leading to discontinuation being hypersensitivity for both treatment groups at a rate of 0.3% in the TEFLARO group and 0.5% in the comparator group.
The most common adverse reactions occurring in >2% of patients receiving TEFLARO in the adult pooled Phase 3 clinical trials were diarrhea (5%) nausea (4%), and rash (3%).
Adverse Reactions in Pediatrics
In the three pooled pediatric clinical trials, serious adverse reactions occurred in 10/257 (4%) of patients receiving TEFLARO and 3/102 (3%) of patients receiving comparator drugs. Treatment discontinuation due to adverse reactions occurred in 10/257 (3.9%) of patients receiving TEFLARO and 2/102 (2%) of patients receiving comparator drugs with the most common adverse reaction leading to discontinuation being rash in 2/257 (0.8%) of patients treated with TEFLARO
The most common adverse reactions occurring in = 3% of patients receiving TEFLARO in the pooled pediatric clinical trials were diarrhea (8%), rash (7%), vomiting (5%), pyrexia (3%) and nausea (3%).
No clinical drug-drug interaction studies have been conducted with TEFLARO. There is minimal potential for drug- drug interactions between TEFLARO and CYP450 substrates, inhibitors, or inducers; drugs known to undergo active renal secretion; and drugs that may alter renal blood flow.
There have been no adequate and well-controlled studies with TEFLARO in pregnant or nursing women.
Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients below the age of 2 months have not been established as no data are available.
Because elderly patients, those =65 years of age, are more likely to have decreased renal function and ceftaroline is excreted primarily by the kidney, care should be taken in dose selection in this age group and it may be useful to monitor renal function. Dosage adjustment for elderly patients should therefore be based on renal function.
Dosage adjustment is required in adult patients with moderate (CrCl >30 to =50 mL/min) or severe (CrCl =15 to =30mL/min) renal impairment and in patients with end-stage renal disease (CrCl 2.
The pharmacokinetics of ceftaroline in patients with hepatic impairment have not been established.

About ABSSSI
In 2014, there were 2.7 million hospital admissions for ABSSSI, of which 11 percent were for pediatric patients, which included patients with cellulitis, erysipelas, wound infection and major cutaneous abscess.3 The majority of all skin and soft tissue infections in hospitalized patients are caused by streptococci and Staphylococcus aureus, and approximately 59 percent of these Staphylococcus aureus infections in the U.S. are estimated to be caused by MRSA.4 Early and effective treatment of ABSSSI is critical to optimize patient recovery and for certain patients may also help to avoid potentially lengthy and costly hospital stays.
About CABP
In 2014, there were 1.3 million hospital admissions for CABP, of which 8 percent were for pediatric patients.3 While the overall incidence of pneumonia is declining, it is still a leading cause of mortality accounting for more than 50,000 deaths in 2013.5 The economic burden of community-acquired pneumonia in the U.S. is significant, due to high hospitalization and mortality rates associated with community-acquired pneumonia.6 More than $17 billion is spent on caring for patients with community-acquired pneumonia annually.6 Community-acquired pneumonia hospitalization costs for children alone amounted to $1 billion in 2009.2

(THUNDER BAY, ON) – SECOND DEGREE MURDER SUSPECT ARRESTED AND VICTIM IDENTIFIED.
SUSPECT JEFFREY MILLER (pictured right) HAS NO CRIMINAL RECORD.
VICTIM IS FROM THE OTTAWA AREA AND KNOWN TO BE A DRUG DEALER. (pictured left).
THUNDER BAY POLICE OFFICERS WORKING HARD EVEN IF THEIR CIVILIAN DIRECTOR OF COMMUNICATIONS DOESN'T.
In the early morning hours of 30 March 2019 Thunder Bay Police arrested a 41 year old JEFFREY MILLER in relation to the Hilldale Rd. homicide of ROBENSON SAINT JEAN.
MILLER is in the process of acquiring the legal services of the brilliant and hard working defence attorney Karen Scullion.
Scullion will head to the jail tomorrow to try meet with MILLER.
MILLER is heavyset and mostly bald with no criminal record.
Inside Edition sources indicate that he works at Lac Des Iles Mine.
MILLER will appear by video from the jail on April 1,2019.
The investigation continues and Police are still encouraging anyone with information to contact the tip line at 684-1055.
A murder charge in Canada means an automatic detention order is issued so he doesn't have an entitlement to a bail hearing. The next step will be to submit a bail review in front of a Superior Court of Justice.
Big thanks to all contributing sources for this story.
Can't help but wonder what went wrong? Was Miller on dope and behind in payments? Did the deceased try to collect, resorted to violence and was overpowered?
Unusual for a non-gang member to take out a dope dealer. Time will tell.

This laboratory supports a community of researchers working at the intersection of creative practice as a research method, visual sociology and anthropology at RMIT. Associate (external) members bring in expertise from the epistemic community of RMITs' research partners. Following on from the foundational work of Celia Lury and Nina Wakeford in Inventive Methods: The Happening of the Social, the fields of visual sociology and anthropology have continued to expand methodologically, as the roles that digital and creative methods play in generating research findings have become increasingly useful in sociology and anthropology. Digital creative practices such as the production and consumption of user generated images and media on increasing ranges of platforms are now key to knowledge transmission and value adding in people's professional and personal worlds. Social research needs to understand, and recognize the impacts of such economies. At the same time, the field of socially engaged arts practice has grown considerably in the UK, America and Europe. While these fields are distinct in terms of both method and canonical history, they share an interest in the ways aesthetic forms communicate information and an investment in the agency of aesthetics as a method for effecting social change. In the first institutional union of these cognate areas, CRIMP explores interdisciplinary connections between socially engaged arts practice, visual sociology and anthropology. Focusing on understanding creative economies of user generated media; and effecting and mapping social change, with a view to explicating the role that digital worlds and practices play in facilitating social change, lab members work across a broad spectrum of material, social and cultural contexts in examining how methods for understanding the social also re-make and re-shape the social in ways that can be employed to effect social change. Responsive, contingent, creative and respectful research practices characterise the work of this lab's members.
CRIMP consists of an interdisciplinary team of researchers with expertise in media and communication, health, visual sociology, anthropology, visual and performing arts practice, education, gender studies, policy development and qualitative methodology.
