The Best Movies You Didn't Know Were Shot in Vermont

Sure, anytime you catch a glimpse of Ben & Jerry's in a movie that's a good indication it's shot in Vermont. But would you recognize Lake Champlain? Stowe? The Rock of Ages in Barre? The following movies feature Vermont's best scenery, from names you'll recognize to films you didn't know were filmed in the Green Mountain State.
Diane Keaton gets an unexpected inheritance in this hit 1987 romantic comedy: a baby. With it comes a change in this yuppy's life, as she moves from the city to rural Vermont and begins selling applesauce sourced from local apples (how fitting). The film grossed $26 million and launched a subsequent TV show, convincingly depicting the life of modern, progressive, business-minded women of the '80s.
You know what to do (or not): Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice. Beetlejuice! But did you know the cult classic, while taking place in Connecticut, was actually shot in East Corinth, Vermont? Michael Keaton stars alongside Winona Ryder, Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis (who all didn't know what to make of the script, unsurprisingly, and needed some convincing). Directed by Tim Burton, this comedy-fantasy blend grossed $74 million, winning an Academy Award for best makeup.
You may not know the title, but you know the name: Robert Frost. Drawing inspiration from the iconic poet, this movie about a modern poet was filmed at the Frost Place, the former home (now a museum) of America's most memorable poet.
This 1988 comedy staring Chevy Chase was shot in southeastern Vermont near Townshend, and features a plot many world-weary will recognize not as fiction: a sports writer from New York City retreats to rural life to write a novel. But Vermont—especially the residents—prove to have their own quirks in store, as personalities clash. It made $25 million at the box office.
Me, Myself & Irene
This comedy starring Jim Carey was shot in Middlebury, Burlington and Waterbury (where Ben & Jerry's is featured). The movie, a black comedy about a cop running out of the medication to treat his multiple personality disorder, earned rave reviews, and garnered nearly $150 million worldwide.
Best known to legions of middle school students as their enthusiastic English teacher assigned that they didn't understand (Edith Wharton is best appreciated with age), Ethan Frome showcases a little-visited corner of Vermont: the Northeast Kingdom. Snowstorms, small-town life, and an unhappy love affair have made this story a classic. Starring a young Liam Neeson and Patricia Arquette, it was shot in Peacham in the dead of winter in 1993.
The Cider House Rules
Shot throughout New England, The Cider House Rules went on to critical acclaim and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. Its Vermont scenes include the Scott Farm Apple Orchard in Brattleboro, and the train station in Bellows Falls. Shot in 1999, the film about the travels and travails of an orphan starred Tobey McGuire, Charlize Theron, and Michael Caine, and won two Academy Awards.
Most might think a movie about space travel would take place in a studio, but there's a notable (if quick) scene in this blockbuster (it grossed $385.7 million worldwide) shot in Vermont. In the beginning of the movie when a young Kirk steals a car and gets into a chase with the police, the cliffs he dumps the vehicle off are actually in Barre, Vermont, at the Rock of Ages Quarry, a massive granite mine.

Q: Using NUXT with SEO compatibility for thousands of products When I build the app, it only creates routes for products already in the database. When I add new products those links aren't automatically added to the routes, and aren't SEO compatible. I have to rebuild the app to "pick up" the new products. Is there a better way of doing this?

A: There's really only 3 options here.
Option 1: Rebuild the app
This is what you're already doing, so I won't touch base on it more, other than point out this only works for static generations.
However, SEO crawlers are getting to the point where they can wait for JS to load, so this can be SEO friendly sometimes.  If you're okay with that, then you can just run in SPA mode and fetch the products client side.
Option 2: Server Side Rendering
When using Nuxt in universal mode, you can fetch and render the product data server side, either using the fetch or async data API's.  Products can be added to a database or CMS, and immediately be usable by the app.
Content rendered this way is SEO friendly as the HTML is rendered server side, provided you also remember to update the meta values with the correct titles/descriptions.
I'd say this is the best option for large amounts of indexable content, but unfortunately requires a server to be run to host the app.
Option 3: Pre rendering
You can use a 3rd party service, like enter link description here, which will handle pre-running your app for SEO services.  However, it's not free, and so I'd say this is ultimately the worst.

The Xanthous Conglomerate is a ruthless organization of battle hardened mercenaries. Although, the conglomerate originally began as an interplanetary construction agency, they realized quickly that building weapons and bases for other factions only to have them turn around and be used against them, was not the best game plan. Soon they began protecting their workers with small mercenary contingents, which evolved to heavier units as work became more lucrative. Eventually, the mercenary branch of the Conglomerate became more profitable than the construction branch. So they consolidated their resources by converting old construction equipment to weapons of war. To this day, the Xanthous Conglomerate has never fought a war independent of a hiring faction.
I like the bumblebee tanks. It would be nice to see more detail in some of the vehicles, like that pickup truck.
Thanks, I had a lot of fun building the tanks, I was just really excited I had finally used those comically large wheels . Although I know from your work that you would prefer the wheels used as thrusters on a vessel.
Over time i should be posting my more interesting vehicles and figs in more detail.

Cool stuff, you can never have too much yellow!
I agree with everyone who wants more pictures of the mechs and tanks. These look like they'll really stand out, and not just because of the color scheme.
I like the idea behind these guys, and the variety of the weaponry is pretty nice. I'd like to see closeups of the indvidual units though. Otherwise, a fine faction!

Regularly scheduled airlines service Cranbrook and Castlegar with connecting flights through Vancouver or Calgary. Castlegar is the crossroads of the Kootenays and is ideally situated at the junction of Highways 3, 3a and 22.
The area is an approximately 6-8 hour drive from Vancouver. From Vancouver take Highway 1 to Hope and then follow Highway 3 east through Princeton and Osoyoos to Bridesville and you have entered the Kootenays in the southwest corner. The north route is via Highway 1, Highway 5 or Highway 3 and 3A to Penticton and north through the Okanagan Valley to Revelstoke.
From Calgary, Alberta, the region can be reached by taking Highway 1 west. Just after Banff, head south on Highway 93 into Kootenay National Park and Radium Hot Springs. Here Highway 93 joins into Highway 95 and continues south. Near Cranbrook is the junction with Highway 3. To get to Creston follow Highway 3/95 west. An alternate route from Calgary is to go south on Highway 2 to Fort Macleod and then head west on Highway 3 to Fernie and onto Cranbrook. To reach Revelstoke, keep on Highway 1 west.
If you are in the Okanagan there are a couple of routes to the Kootenays. From Vernon go east on Highway 6 approximately 135 km (85 mi) to Needles and you are in the center of the Arrow Lakes & Slocan Valley region of Kootenay Country. A second route is from Penticton south on Highway 97 to Osoyoos and then east on Highway 3 to Bridesville. From Kelowna you can go to Penticton or Vernon and follow the one of the previously mentioned routes or a third route is along Highway 33 which goes through Beaverdell, Westbridge and The Kettle River Provincial Recreation Area to Highway 3 at Rock Creek in the south west corner of Kootenay Country.
From Seattle you can take Interstate 90 east to Wenatchee and then go north on Interstate 97/Highway 20 to Oroville and cross the border into Canada and Osoyoos and then head east on Highway 3 to Bridesville or noth through the Okanagan if you are heading to Reveltoke and Banff.
A scenic alternate route is to go north from Seattle or south from Bellingham on Interstate 5 to Highway 20, The North Cascade Highway, and then go east to Wenatchee and then north as previously mentioned on Interstate 97/Highway 20.
From Spokane (or all the way from Mexico) go north on Interstate 395 to the Laurier/Cascade border crossing. From Cascade it is a short drive west on Highway 3 to Grand Forks or north to Christina Lake. Alternately you may exit Interstate 395 near Kettle Falls and go north on Highway 25 to Rossland and Trail.
From Idaho or Montana it is also easy to get into the region . From Sandpoint, ID, take Interstate 95 north or from Libby, MT, take Interstate 2 north to the junction of 95 & 2 and then continue north, on 95, to the junction of 95 and Highway 1 north and take HIghway 1 to continue onto the Porthill border crossing and then Creston or take 1 to the Eastport border crossing and continue onto Cranbrook.

In Praise of C Major
I was afraid of Bach's C Major Solo Sonata so I avoided it for years. As a student, listening to its first two movements at competitions felt like being at a decadent Roman feast, where, instead of the rich variety of meats and fruits, each course was a large steaming bowl of savoury rice pudding (and no, you don't get cinnamon or mushrooms with that). An endurance test in all the wrong ways.
The second movement was terrifying, a fugue. Its length, its impenetrable texture, and its long, sonorous subject (the tune, repetition of which forms the basis of the composition) usually played very slowly with ostentatiously sustained bowing (these days this is called "doing the ironing"), resulted in a machine huge in both proportion and form, the sole purpose of which seemed to be to intimidate. Well, it worked.
Then, at the end of last year, curious, I re-approached it. No performance planned, just filling the repertoire gap.
The intervening years had seen mainstream players adopt period instruments and rescue phrasing from the grips of violin teachers. There was a collective exhale. Short, fat violin necks or not, we were all given license to play an open E rather than scaling the G string to play a stopped note in an attempt to make it sound "vocal". We now had the choice about whether we wanted to prioritise phrase geography, gesture, or (radically), emotive association. The arguments about what is historically correct and what is not, and whether it matters or not, offered the freedom to reject authority and listen to the music on its own terms.
Like returning to a childhood home after years of absence, the music seemed different this time, simply because I had changed. The problems had diminished. Freed from phrasing fascists, and with unexpected ease of delivery, Bach started to speak, offering more questions than answers.
Each movement presents a different challenge.
The third movement seems impossibly light. How can something marked Largo fly? Like a floating feather the size of a plane. To make magic like that, you need a huge heart. And a miracle.
The fourth movement surprised me because all the recordings in my head (other people's live performances and recordings) were so different from what I saw on the page. No longer obliged to wallop the top note of every scale presented to me, I am confronted by a conundrum: a slur at the beginning of the first beat is where the down-bow gesture begins, with the heaviest part of the bow and the largest part of the arm's gesture naturally making the beginning of the stroke stronger, and yet I want the slur to follow through to the top of the gesture on the second crotchet. How do I get to the top of the scale in those beats? And how do you make "Allegro" feel allegro if you're not presenting the pulse by accenting the second crotchet? Then I realised I was listening to the recordings again. Listen to the real music Ruth! It starts to speak. Unlike in other pieces, for instance in the G minor Sonata, this fourth movement is not a show-stopper. It speaks with kindness and gentleness and it requires me to stop trying to impress everybody. It is Allegro Assai after all.
"But what about the terrifying second movement?" I hear my three twitter followers cry (or maybe not …). Well, the second movement is the most challenging of them all. Not because of competition trauma, and not just because it's long and demanding.
First off, the second movement is the biggest commitment to C Major I have ever played in a solo setting.
Let's talk about keys for a minute. Ask any group of young players what they think about E flat Major, and they will say things like: warm, deep, soft (except one person said solemn. I consider him an anomaly). Some would say that there is a tradition of associating certain keys with particular ideas (with Beethoven's Pastoral Symphony defining F Major, for example), though I'm sure you will find other people prepared to argue against that.
The point I'm trying to make, is that we often have associations with keys, and while there may be some variation, there are things we could agree on. Of course, this provokes the discussion on how pitch has got sharper over the centuries (hence historically informed tuning) so perhaps we are superimposing associations on pitch that don't belong there. (In fact I did practise the third movement a semitone down to see if it helped me find the right way to play it.) Nevertheless, whether or not someone felt differently about E flat Major three centuries ago than we do now playing it a semitone higher, is a difficult thing to measure, not least because the 1700ers didn't compare the two pitches in the way that we do. So I'm going to exercise my artistic license, and play it on a modern instrument and accept that my approach is somewhat (or entirely) subjective. I know that some people will pick holes in this. It's not an exaggeration to say that I'm going out on a limb here, saying what I think about C Major.
C Major is the first key we learn on the piano. It is the first key we learn in theory. It is the first key we are tested on in aural. On the piano, it is the template for all of the other keys. It is the home key of all home keys. Sometimes it's boring. Definitely not very romantic – It's got no inbuilt tension of F sharps or G flats. Uncompromising, plain old, every day, C Major. And it isn't easy on the violin either. We don't have a C string, and it is not one of the easy natural resonances in the wooden box, in fact, it's the home of wolf notes (notes that crack). There's nowhere to hide, no place for expressive intonation, and nowadays not much vibrato in Bach either: it's just got to be in tune and you're not going to get much help with that on the home note.
So how is this piece inspiring? Perhaps this is where all of those young violinists hit a brick wall. The key is, well … key …
In the circle of 5ths, C Major is the starting point for every other key. Perched between G Major and F Major, it can go either way, towards keys with sharps, or keys with flats, giving it an unpredictable power. In the first movement, that balance and power is explored, making it both more playable and more obscure, opening up multiple possible interpretative options.
On the other hand, while the fugue modulates, it cadences in sensible, related keys: C Major, D Major, E minor, and G Major. It is so straight forward harmonically that at first glance it seems that there is nothing to it.
But it is that empty aspect that holds the real secret of the piece. The harmonically unstable first movement provides the relief against which the stability of the fugue stands out.
Framed by this harmonic balance, the form of the fugue comes into its own. Writing a fugue comes with restrictions: the subject, its answer in other voices, and accompanying countersubject must appear repeatedly, in multiple voices at particular times and they must all move together harmonically. Introduce the awkward violin – designed to play one note at a time rather than four part harmony – and it is amazing that Bach manages to find the harmonic adventures that he does. He takes compositional virtuosity still further. Compared to the other two solo violin fugues, this subject, with its long singing note values (it is in 2/2), is a tuneful four bar phrase rather than just being a bar or two of motivic fodder. This makes things complicated, because the violin is tuned in 5ths, has a limited range on each string, and access to intervals between two strings is generally limited to a tenth for most people (depending on how big your hands are). That means the longer the subject, the more restrictions Bach has with where he can place the anatomy of the fugue on the instrument and still make sense harmonically. Why does Bach make his life so difficult and restricted?
That's not the only thing that puzzles me. It's the subject. It starts on an upbeat, rises a tone to an A, and meanders around the middle of the scale, rising again in anticipation before the next part comes in. No home note at either end of the scale! Not much there for a hook or focus for the phrase. In terms of its phrase geography and harmony, it's so middle of the road, it can't see the pavement. Yet the shape of the phrase and the oblique use of the emphasis of the first beats give it a mystery. What is this piece for?
Having so few anchors and so little to go on in a subject that is clearly a tune and not just a motif, but isn't quite a complete idea, forces you to commit, or get off the train. It forces you to trust the music entirely and give yourself to that moment and see where it takes you. Through the placement of the episodes, and a structure that gradually and strategically reveals the limits and the heights, both of the singing quality of the violin, and of the harmony when placed under this fugue's restrictions, Bach's genius gradually emerges victorious over one's insecurities, questioning and mistrust.
Eventually I relinquish myself to a balanced, restricted, patient, focused, repetitive, even meditative experience, in safe keys but with few obvious harmonic anchors, where the rising, almost hopeful nature of the subject infuses the fugue with a peace and stoicism that I have rarely if ever seen in the solo violin repertoire. I don't think Bach could have found this balance in any other form, or in any other key.
Is there anything more romantic than trust? I take it back C Major! This is the piece that quietly demands: get up in the morning, and dedicate yourself to daily life, to your work, and to others, without question and without any other basis than that this is the way that you serve, the way that you hope; this is faith, and love, and even if it never finds anchor, even in the face of drama and power and uncertainty, you can still offer the best of yourself, unquestioningly, lightly, and at peace.
Well, like everyone, sometimes, and sometimes more-times, I fail. Sometimes I do anything but focus on productive action in the present. Not contributing the best I can to the world, sometimes I lose the battle against time to connect with others and offer them what I can.
But even here, Bach has an answer. The difference between live performance and composition, is that live performance, with all its risks, once over, is gone forever; composition can last for centuries, hopefully even longer. It is the longevity of the medium - composition - that crowns Bach's message in C Major, because it matches so well with the content of the Sonata. Like re-reading messages from dear people long gone, every time I commit myself to practising this work I rediscover my immense gratitude for Bach's humanity and guidance, where he reminds me of the great privilege offered through unquestioning, timeless, service.
Robin Appleyard
It was really interesting reading your thoughts on the c major sonata, and your thoughts on keys (for me e flat is an angelic key, never quite possible to get right, think sinfonia concertante and the way the viola was to re-tune).
C major and the opening of the fugue had to be middle spectrum to allow for the blossoming of the chromatisism that follows.
The challenge for me is to not turn the fugue into a bashing chord al fest, but into a liniar lyrical thing. I don't think it is possible to achieve this satisfactorily with a modern bow, but I would never wish to hear it played on authentic equipment (I don't ask my wife to wash my underwear in the Avon).
I would love to hear your interpretation, perhaps another visit to Warwick is overdue.
It would be lovely to see you again.

A: The text between <title> and </title> cannot be styled. It's used to set Internet Explorer's Window title in the caption/title bar. Any text you enter will be treated literally.
Windows controls the look of all caption bars. You can configure them (globally) in the "Appearance" or "Windows Color" section of the Display/Personalization applet in the Control Panel. For example, "Active Title Bar" controls the font and colors Windows uses for the currently-active window.
Edit:
I reread you question and it sounds like maybe your "title" is not the page title (<title>) but just some text you're displaying near the top of your page (that you're calling your "title").
You can pass args to an HTA but it's a little tricky to parse them. HTA's only have the CommandLine property, which returns the full command line, including the full path to your HTA. To make things easier, most people choose to enclose their args in quotes, so your command line might look like this:
"c:\my folder\test.hta" "#ddd" "#f00"

Here, we're passing two args (HTML colors) to an HTA. To retrieve them, we can split the CommandLine property on quotes (Chr(34)) and we'd get the following:
a = Split(myhta.CommandLine, Chr(34))
a(0) = <blank>
a(1) = "c:\my folder\test.hta"
a(2) = " "
a(3) = "#ddd"
a(4) = " "
a(5) = "#f00"
a(6) = <blank>

So, a(3) becomes your first arg and a(5) becomes your second. Now you can just assign these values to your HTML element's style.backgroundColor and style.color properties.
Here's an example:

    <HTA:APPLICATION
        ID="htatest"
        APPLICATIONNAME="HTA Test"

Milaim Rama (* 29. Februar 1976 in Žitinje bei Vitina, SFR Jugoslawien) ist ein ehemaliger Schweizer Fussballspieler.

Karriere
Im Alter von 17 Jahren zog Milaim Rama mit seiner Familie in die Schweiz und spielte schon kurz darauf als Hobbyfussballer für den FC Interlaken in den unteren Ligen, wo er mit seinen Leistungen sehr rasch auf sich aufmerksam machte. Im Juli 1997 sicherte sich der FC Thun die Dienste des talentierten Stürmers, der umgehend zu einem festen Bestandteil in der Mannschaft des damaligen NLB-Ligisten wurde. Während der ersten vier Spielzeiten für die Berner Oberländer war seine Torausbeute konstant aber nicht überragend (2, 5, 8 und 7 Tore). In der Saison 2001/02 setzte er zu einem Höhenflug an und schoss unter dem neuen Trainer Hanspeter Latour 25 Tore in 35 Partien. Er verhalf den Thunern damit zum Aufstieg in die höchste Schweizer Spielklasse, was dem Verein in dessen Geschichte erst einmal zuvor gelungen war (1954/55 für ein Jahr).

In seiner ersten Saison in der NLA bestritt der zwischenzeitlich in Interlaken eingebürgerte Stürmer 33 Spiele und erzielte 20 Tore. Auch in der darauffolgenden Spielzeit 2003/04 behauptete er sich in der nun Axpo Super League benannten Liga und konnte 10 Tore in 34 Spielen auf seinem Konto verbuchen. Seine herausragenden Leistungen hatten einen steilen Aufstieg zur Folge, der ihn bis ins Kader der Schweizer Nationalmannschaft führte. Nachdem er zunächst bei zwei Freundschaftsspielen gegen Deutschland und Slowenien für die Schweiz antreten konnte, wurde er auch für die Euro 2004 in Portugal aufgeboten. Bei diesem Turnier kam er zu einem Einsatz, als er im letzten Gruppenspiel der Schweizer gegen Frankreich eingewechselt wurde.

Im selben Jahr zog es den Mittelfeldstürmer überraschend in die deutsche Regionalliga zum FC Augsburg. Sein Gastspiel im nördlichen Nachbarland war von kurzer Dauer: es beschränkte sich auf 13 Einsätze. Milaim Rama entschied sich im Sommer 2005 für eine Rückkehr in die Schweiz und ging zum FC Schaffhausen. Prompt wurde er erneut für die Schweizer Fussballnationalmannschaft nominiert, jedoch nicht mehr eingesetzt. In Schaffhausen, wo er 5 Tore während 26 Begegnungen schoss, hielt es Rama ebenfalls nicht lange. Am 3. Juli 2006 kehrte er zu seinem Stammverein dem FC Thun zurück.

Unvermittelt folgte ein Jahr später eine schwierige Phase für den Berner Oberländer Verein. Der FC Thun bestritt zwar am 27. Februar 2008 noch den Cup-Halbfinal gegen den FC Basel, verlor diesen jedoch genauso wie den Kampf gegen den sich abzeichnenden, forcierten Abstieg in die zweithöchste Spielklasse. So spielte der FC Thun ab der Saison 2008/09 neu in der Challenge League. Milaim Rama blieb dem Verein treu und schoss am Auswärtsspiel vom 9. November 2008 gegen den FC Biel-Bienne sein 100. Meisterschaftstor im Dress des FC Thun. Am 13. Januar 2009 zog sich der siebenfache Internationale beim Hallenmasters Winterthur einen Kreuzbandriss im rechten Knie zu. Der engagierte Stürmer, der in der Vorrunde zehn Tore für Thun erzielt hatte, fiel für die gesamte Rückrunde aus.

Ab der darauffolgenden Spielzeit gehörte Rama unter dem neuen Trainer Murat Yakin erneut zur Stammelf. Es folgte sein nächstes Jubiläum. Zu Beginn der Rückrunde 2009/10, am 24. Februar 2010, bestritt er gegen den FC Wohlen sein 300. Meisterschaftsspiel für den FC Thun. In dieser Saison erzielte er insgesamt sieben Tore. Auch dank seinen Leistungen stieg der FC Thun nach zwei Jahren in der zweithöchsten Spielklasse wieder in die Axpo Super League auf. Am 16. März 2010 wurde bekannt gegeben, dass der Vertrag mit dem inzwischen 34-jährigen Milaim Rama um ein weiteres Jahr bis zum 30. Juni 2011 verlängert wurde.

Die Saison 2010/11 begann für Milaim Rama zunächst gut, wenngleich er nie mehr 90 Minuten durchspielte, sondern als Einwechslungsspieler fungierte. So kam er beispielsweise im sechsten Spiel am 21. August 2010 zu seinem vierten Einsatz. Nachdem Basel in der 81. Minute in Führung ging, wurde Rama in der 83. Minute eingewechselt und erzielte drei Minuten später den entscheidenden Ausgleichstreffer zum 1:1. Damit rettete er seinem Team einen Punkt, mit dem die Thuner damals den 2. Tabellenplatz halten konnten. Danach begann für den Publikumsliebling eine wahre Pechsträhne: Ende Oktober 2010 zog sich Rama während eines Trainings einen Muskelfaserriss zu und fiel bis zum Ende der Vorrunde aus. Nach seiner Genesung absolvierte er mit dem Team die Vorbereitung für die Rückrunde, doch im letzten Testspiel zog er sich einen Armbruch zu und musste bis Ende Februar 2011 auf weitere Einsätze verzichten. Beim Cupspiel gegen Neuchâtel Xamax am 2. März 2011 erfolgte schliesslich sein Comeback, doch bereits nach 46. Minuten musste er erneut verletzt vom Spielfeld – er hatte sich denselben Arm wieder gebrochen. Ein weiterer Einsatz Ramas wird frühestens Anfang April erwartet.

Ab dem Oktober 2013 wollte Milaim Rama zusammen mit seinem Bruder Ramush für den FC Oberdiessbach spielen, diese Möglichkeit gab er danach jedoch auf und beendete stattdessen seine Fussballkarriere.

Q: ActiveRecord select all columns from multiple tables after joins I have two models Article - :id, :name, :handle Comment - :id, :name, :article_id
My query looks like data = Article.select("articles.*, comments.*").joins("INNER JOIN comments on articles.id = comments.article_id")
Now both the models have conflicting fields. Ideally I would want to be able to do something like data.first.comments.name or data.first.articles.name.
Note I am aware of option of doming something like articles.name as article_name but I have some tables with around 20 columns. So don't want to do that.

A: The example you are showing is barely utilising the Rails framework at all. It seems you are thinking to much of the database structure instead of thinking of the result as Ruby Objects.
Here is what I would suggest you do to get access to the data (since you are using Rails, I assume it is for a webpage so my example is for rendering an html.erb template):
# In controller
@articles = Article.includes(:comments)

# In views
<% @articles.each do |article| %>

<%= article.name %>

  <% article.comments.each do |comment| %>

<%= comment.name %>

  <% end %>
<% end %>

But if you just want all the column data into a big array or arrays (database style), you could do it like this
rows = Article.includes(:comments).inject([]) { |arr, article|
  article.comments.inject(arr) { |arr2, comment|
    arr2 << (article.attributes.values + comment.attributes.values)
  }
}

If you don't know how the inject method works, I really recommend to read up on it because it is a very useful tool.

China's imports rise for 1st time in nearly 2 years, exports grow
By Leng Cheng | September 9, 2016, Friday | Print Edition
CHINA'S export growth surged in August as the yuan weakened and imports rose for the first time in nearly two years, suggesting domestic demand may be picking up and helping the world's second-largest economy to stabilize, official data showed.
Exports in yuan-denominated terms rose 5.9 percent year on year in August, accelerating from 2.9 percent in July. Imports increased 10.8 percent, reversing from a drop of 5.7 percent, according to figures from the General Administration of Customs.
The import rise was the first expansion in value terms since October 2014.
The country enjoyed a trade surplus of 346 billion yuan (US$51.9 billion) in August, slightly below July's seven-month high. Imports of automobiles, auto parts, semiconductor products and raw material increased sharply during the month.
The rise in imports may be due to the launch of new consumer electronic gadgets just before the year-end shopping season. China's supply chain was boosted when firms imported more components to make products such as Apple's iPhone 7, which was officially launched yesterday in the US, market watchers said.
"The improvement in imports is mostly a reflection of stronger domestic demand. Chinese companies are restocking (raw materials), and also are now expecting prices to start rising," said Wang Jianhui, an economist with Capital Securities in Beijing.
Capital Economics said in a note that "the size of the pick-up suggests that there may also have been some improvement in import volumes last month."
If it proves sustainable, a trade recovery or even signs of trade stabilization would help ease fears that China's economy is becoming increasingly lopsided, and give feeble global growth a much-needed shot in the arm.
Nomura research analysts Zhao Yang and Wendy Chen said in a note yesterday that "imports of iron ore and oil improved significantly, which suggested domestic investment also improved in August, helped by post-flood reconstruction."
The rise in exports was supported by a weaker yuan, Louis Lam and Raymond Yeung at Australia and New Zealand Banking Group said, adding that a "resilient trade balance" would ease capital outflows that would otherwise be worse due to exit of portfolio funds.
But they cautioned a sluggish global demand will still pressure China's outlook for exports and manufacturing as the data indicated that new export orders in August continued to be weak amid external uncertainties.
"We are still wary of the impact of Brexit on European demand. Downside risk prevails in the next few months," Lam and Yeung wrote.
International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde said earlier this month that the agency will likely downgrade its 2016 global growth forecast again.

Collierville rebukes 'dumbest colleges' remarks by supporting teachers, saying no to charters
Laura Testino
Collierville School board members have unanimously approved a resolution in support of its teachers, coming as a critique of Gov. Bill Lee and the possibility of charter schools in the suburban Memphis district.
The atypically urgent formal signal comes in the wake of Hillsdale College President Larry Arnn making several comments disparaging public school teachers and colleges while in conversation with Gov. Bill Lee, who has yet to criticize the Michigan college president's remarks.
Earlier this year, Lee announced efforts to formalize a partnership with Hillsdale, the private conservative college in Michigan, to bring more charter schools to the state and strengthen civics education.
Collierville's resolution, adopted Thursday afternoon in a special called meeting, is a "statement of support and appreciation for the dedicated professional educators who work tirelessly to make the Collierville School District one of the best in the state of Tennessee," grows a chorus of criticism to the remarks.
"When someone speaks against one of our teachers, they're speaking against all of us," board member Wanda Chism, a former teacher of the district, said to the room full of two dozen or so teachers in attendance. "...You are educated, dedicated, appreciated."

'We do not wish to participate in media frenzies':Tennessee charter school cuts ties with Hillsdale
Board member Wanda Gibbs, a retired teacher, said, "I left the profession to take care of grandchildren, not because I thought the work was too hard, or because I wasn't dedicated...I want you to know all the work you do is very much appreciated. I know how hard you work."
Lee joined Arnn at the helm of a private event in Williamson County as Arnn said "teachers are trained in the dumbest parts of the dumbest colleges in the country" and that "you don't have to be an expert to educate a child because basically anybody can do it."
NewsChannel 5 in Nashville first reported the comments.
"We know that we are not the dumbest parts of the dumbest colleges," said Susan Willis, a third grade reading teacher in Collierville who has taught for more than 20 years.
"Actually, their comments almost make us work even harder," Willis continued. "We're not going to let them beat us down, because we know what we do every day of every school year. We know what we do in the summer to get ready for the school year."

More school news:Why charter schools are once again at the forefront of Tennessee's education debate
The board's resolution, first proposed by chair of the board, Wright Cox, is also a signal to state leadership the suburban Memphis district isn't interested in the charter schools Arnn wants to start. Tennessee has more than 100 charter schools, and nearly half are authorized by Memphis-Shelby County Schools. Few are open in non-urban state school districts.
"We do not want charter schools in Collierville," Cox told The Commercial Appeal.
Board member Frank Warren echoed the disinterest, adding he didn't see a need for the schools in Collierville: "What we're doing here is working at a high level."
Superintendent Gary Lilly is of the same opinion.
"From the superintendent's perspective, we pride ourselves in being able to provide exemplary educational opportunities for our students, and that being the case, I personally do not see a need for charters," Lilly said.

Are We a Fit for Each Other? CCI Management Memo – Custom Contracting, Inc.
At Custom, we don't see ourselves as salespeople. We're not here to sell you our home remodeling services. Rather, starting with our initial interaction, we're focused on determining whether we're a fit for you and your project — and whether you and your project are a fit for us. It's a totally different mindset than that of the typical salesperson.
Suppose you're calling us for the first time to discuss a project. Someone from our office will ask you about things like types of services needed, desired timeline and perhaps approximate budget. Based on criteria like that, we determine whether we might be able to help you out.
If the answer is yes, one of us (Bill or Scott) will meet with you to dig a little deeper. We'll want to see your home, learn more about what you want to accomplish and get to know you a bit.
During this first meeting, we can typically provide a decent idea of what the project will cost and how long it will take to complete. This is important because some remodeling firms will spend a month or two preparing a budget that might turn out to be far more than you were looking to spend. And that's just a waste of time for the homeowner.
Why can we provide this information so much faster? Because we've been in business for 28 years and can leverage a great deal of historical data from similar projects in our portfolio. So right away, both sides have a feel for whether there might be a fit.
If we're in alignment on projected cost and schedule, then one of us will begin writing a project specification. This detailed document provides step-by-step instructions on how we'll complete your project and includes information such as total budget, payment schedule and timetable.
Sometimes clients approve the project specification with barely an edit. Other times, it has to go through rounds of revisions. Ultimately, this document will serve as the basis for a contract should you decide to hire Custom for the work.
At each step leading to that point, however, we always come back to the same question: Are we a fit for you, and are you a fit for us? As long as the answer is "yes," there's a good chance the relationship will work out.

At this year's Procigar Festival, General Cigar Company revealed that La Gloria Cubana would have a special release this year. La Gloria Cubana Spanish Press will be a nod to the past and present as it uses an old-world technique to produce a cigar for today's market.
La Gloria Cubana Spanish Press will be a three-cigar collection that will be handcrafted at the El Credito Cigar Factory, a boutique rolling gallery located within General Cigar Dominicana. There, artisans will place freshly-rolled cigars into wooden trays with dividers that apply uniform and equal pressure to the cigars. The trays will hen be pressed to define the cigars' shape. Once pressed, the cigars will be placed in specially sized boxes that will apply a slight pressure to the cigars to help them maintain their shape.
The process is reminiscent of the old Spanish-press technique used in pre-embargo Cuba where the boxes were used to create the cigars' distinct form.
La Gloria Cubana Spanish Press' Nicaraguan-forward blend will feature hand-selected tobaccos from four countries. The filler will be comprised of Nicaraguan Jalapa, Dominican Piloto Cubana and Olor, Brazilian Mata Fina, and it will have a Mexican San Andrés binder. The cigar's wrapper will be a Nicaraguan leaf sourced from Jalapa. It will have notes of earth, spice, and toast. La Gloria Cubana Spanish Press is set to begin shipping to retailers in May 2019.

Analyst insight from Euromonitor International
Articles / Danone further strengthens its emerging market position via merger and acquisition activity
Danone further strengthens its emerging market position via merger and acquisition activity
By: 12/22/2010
By: Ildiko Szalai 12/22/2010
In October 2010, following its latest financial reports, Danone stated that emerging markets, under which the group also includes the US, are the company's priorities as drivers of both present and future growth.
Since this announcement the group has taken a number of further strategic steps to realign and strengthen its operations in its various emerging markets.
The group and Unimilk have finalised the merger of their Fresh Dairy Product businesses in Russia and other CIS countries while Danone has also made an acquisition in the US, purchasing the YoCream frozen yoghurt business for US$103 million.
Danone enters US frozen yoghurt category via acquisition
While the US is the world's most industrialised economy, some of its markets, such as yoghurt, are still moderate in size and growing rapidly. US per capita consumption of yoghurt stands at just 6kg, while in France it is three times higher at 18kg, according to Euromonitor International data.
Danone has announced it plans to triple its US sales over the next two years without making large acquisitions, thus ruling out the purchase of Dean Foods, the largest US milk producer and long seen as a target for Danone. The reasoning behind the decision is that milk products are not a core focus area for Danone.
However, the company does not plan to achieve this threefold increase in sales in the US exclusively through yoghurt, but has entered a new, complementary category, frozen yoghurt, thanks to its latest acquisition of YoCream.
Frozen yoghurt sold through retail channels is currently a moderately sized packaged food segment. Danone is targeting the largest national market, the US, which accounts for over 50% of global sales.
However, over the 2010-2015 period this market is expected to contract slightly, while dynamic growth is forecast in neighbouring Canada, set to post a 4% CAGR over the same period. Globally, the frozen yoghurt markets for Danone to watch will be South Korea, the Netherlands and the UK, with expected CAGRs of 5%, 4.3% and 3.4%, respectively, over 2010-2015.
With this acquisition Danone will also gain access to an away-from-home distribution network in addition to its existing channels. The move highlights Danone's current strategy for expansion in the US, in particular by increasing the frequency and number of places where its products are consumed.
Joint Danone–Unimilk operations in Eastern Europe
In November 2010, the group established a joint fresh dairy product venture with Unimilk covering Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan, with Danone taking a controlling 57.5% stake in the new entity, with estimated joint annual sales of €1.5 billion.
The joint operations expect to benefit from their complementary geographic and category positioning across all price platforms. The venture's geographic direction is undeniably focused on markets with good growth potential.
Category-wise, Danone's currently high profit margins from operations mainly in added-value and functional segments could be pushed downwards with the addition of Unimilk's lower-margin, largely milk, sour milk and cream portfolio, which also secures Danone's presence in lower price platforms, ensuring a wide consumer base for the merged entity.
Russia's dairy market remains a focus for many expanding dairy players. For example, most recently PepsiCo acquired a controlling stake in Russia's leading dairy player Wimm-Bill-Dann, while Lactalis has acquired the Yefremovsky milk processing plant.
The country's dairy market is expected to outperform the Eastern European region as a whole over 2010-2015 with a 4% CAGR, and in absolute retail value terms the country will account for some 60% of regional market growth over the period.
However, volume growth is expected to remain well below value growth, at less than a 3% CAGR, indicating an increase in unit price and stiff competition in the dairy market's health and wellness categories, in which Danone is well positioned to compete with its strong and well-established research and development and marketing capabilities.
Emerging market expansion remains a core strategic objective
Although Danone's international activities are strengthening year-on-year, Western Europe continues to account for the largest share of its packaged food sales.
Across all developed markets certain recessionary trends, for example trading down as a result of declining consumer purchasing power and more price-conscious purchasing decisions, continue to impact Danone's mainly premium-positioned portfolio and its profitability, thus making emerging market expansion an even more important pillar of the company's long-term growth strategy.

Q: How to read Custom error message from backend in Angular 4/2 API

add(data) {
 return this.httpClient.post<any>('/api/v3/templates', data);
}

Observable

this.templateService.add(obj)

.subscribe(
 (response) => {
  console.log(reposne)
 },
(error) => {
 console.log(error)
 }
);

My Post API gives back a error with some Message in response as Name Already Exists But i am not able to get that in error Object which is printed to console
The object which is printed is
{
    error:null
    headers:HttpHeaders {normalizedNames: Map(0), lazyUpdate: null,
    lazyInit: ƒ}
    message:"Http failure response for http://localhost/api/v3/templates:
400 Bad Request"
    name:"HttpErrorResponse"
    ok:false
    status:400
    statusText:"Bad Request"
    url:"http://localhost/api/v3/templates"

}
how can I get the message  that I am getting in response as my error
    object doesn't have that response body.

A: The error returned is normally an instance of HttpErrorResponse, with an error property containing the wrapped error (client or server)
https://angular.io/guide/http#getting-error-details
So normally you should be able to handle the error like this.
add(data) {
 return this.httpClient.post<any>('/api/v3/templates', data)
  .pipe(
      catchError(this.handleError)
    );
}

private handleError(error: HttpErrorResponse) {
  if (error.error instanceof ErrorEvent) {
    // A client-side or network error occurred. Handle it accordingly.
    console.error('An error occurred:', error.error.message);
  } else {
    // The backend returned an unsuccessful response code.
    // The response body may contain clues as to what went wrong,
    console.error(
      `Backend returned code ${error.status}, ` +
      `body was: ${error.error}`);
  }
  // return an ErrorObservable with a user-facing error message
  return new ErrorObservable(
    'Something bad happened; please try again later.');
};

If the error property is null this could be because the server does not return anything. Did you check using postman  or some other tool that your server returns the appropriate response?

A: In Observable there are three options.

*

*Next - which you subscribed to get the data

*Error - Its the next function you passed to the subscribe method. It contains the error status code and mostly http error like error in connection, bad request.

*finally - its execute any how after all.

there are others too like map, debounce etc.
  this.templateService.add(obj)
    .subscribe(
      (response) => {  // this is the next and hold the response
        console.log(response)
      },
      (error) => { // this is the error
        console.log(error)
      },
      (finall) => { // this is final and execute alwasys
        console.log('this is the final piece of code to execute')
      }
    );

I think you your case the error might not coming in http standard and might be coming in subscribe.
So check if the customized message is coming in next rather as an error.

A: You can use a typed response:
On your error notification type you could have something like:
err =>  {
        this.localErrorResponse = err as ErrorResponse;
        this.message= this.localErrorResponse.message;
      }

before, in your class:
import { ErrorResponse } from './error-response';
...
localErrorResponse: ErrorResponse;
message: string;

and then, your ErrorResponse can be like:
import { HttpHeaders} from './http-headers';

export class ErrorResponse{
  error: any;
  headers: HttpHeaders;
  message: string;
  name: string;
  ok: boolean;
  status: number;
  statusText: string;
  url: string;
}

and class HttpHeaders
export class HttpHeaders {
  normalizedNames: any;
  lazyUpdate: any;
  lazyInit: any;
}

then you can map some other variables, as message (this.message)


These customers updated their Greater Peoria home with Preservation replacement windows! White windows and shutters makes this home's blue exterior pop, but doesn't distract from the homeowners' amazing landscaping.
These double casement windows can swing open in the summer to catch a cool breeze. In the winter, double-pane EnergyMaxx® glass and ClimaTech Plus insulated glass will keep this home warm and lower its energy bill.
These windows are fan favorite of the homeowners, neighbors, relatives and even their pup Macy.
The homeowners' favorite upgrade is the addition of a four lite picture window that looks out onto their newly planted garden.
These windows look great inside and outside. They are a natural fit with the modern farmhouse decor of the home.
If you'd like to update your own home with new windows but don't know where to start, give us a call at (309) 717-0105. We've been installing windows for over 40 years! We have installation and design experts that will be with you throughout your entire home improvement process. If you'd like to receive a free, in-home estimate, please fill out the form below.
Some of the busiest weeks at Peoria Siding and Window are the weeks before and after a home show. Peoria Siding and Window participates in over 20 home shows and fairs a year! These events are a great way to meet new people and learn more about the community we serve. Almost everyone at the company has been a part of the planning, creating, or manning necessary for a successful show.
Last week we met some great people at the 2017 Spring Home Show in Peoria. Now, we're setting up for a home show coming up in Bloomington-Normal on March 3-5, 2017.
All of the displays in our booth are made in our warehouse and transported to the venue. Before the displays can be created, our installers study floor plans carefully to make sure we won't take up more space than our booth allows. Sometimes they run into logistic puzzles about how to build, transport, and fit some of our largest displays through the door. Our installers overcome unexpected issues with quick thinking and creative problem-solving. This year, our installers built four shower displays, two window displays, two pergolas, and a sunroom to for the home show.
A few days before the home show begins, companies backload their largest displays into the venue. Before we set up anything else, we have to make sure our Four-Seasons sunroom can fit through the door. Then, we unload our display pieces from the truck and prepare them for assembly. Many of our display pieces, such as our pergolas and Woodfront Kitchen cabinets, are rebuilt every time we participate in a home show.
While the installers rebuild the heavier displays, helpers clean the displays that became dusty and disheveled during their trip from the warehouse. Our team can set up a booth in less than five hours. The most dramatic display rebuild is our TEMO Pergola. This display takes the most time to assemble and must be lifted onto its posts by a team of installers working together. We know the hard work is worth it because the pergola serves as a favorite meeting spot for salesman to talk with guests.
As hours pass, our booth begins to look ready for the home show. Our home show veterans walk through the booth to make sure display elements look professional and that our salesman will have enough room. It's rare that a floor plan gets through a home show without being tweaked multiple times. Our saleswoman Ann Gattung has been with Peoria Siding and Window for 26 years and has participated in dozens of home shows and fairs. She serves as the voice of authority when anyone has a question about how the booth should be set up.
During the Peoria Home Show, an estimated 3,000 people visited our booth. People from all around Illinois come to home shows to find the best deals, get inspiration, and have fun! Whatever their goal, it's our job to make people feel welcomed and inspired. We make sure that our best salespeople are manning the booth to demonstrate our products and talk to guests about their project ideas. At the Peoria Home show, we met over 100 prospective clients in three days.
If people want a free project estimate, we set an appointment for one right at our booth. Some people come just to ask questions about a project they've been considering, and that's fine too. If people don't want an estimate right away, we give them our contact information and tell them to call us when they're ready. It's our job to make sure people leave our booth feeling excited – not pressured. Many guests stop by just to see our displays. Some fan favorites are our Four Seasons Sunroom and our Gutter Helmet display. We let those guests know they can come see our displays at our showroom anytime.
Every year, our home show evolves into something new. We learn from our past mistakes and come up with better ideas each year. At next year's home shows, we hope to have better displays to show off our best products. We plan to set up a center where people can upload photos of their home into a software that illustrates how their home will look when the project is completed. If you visit a home show this season, make sure to visit our booths! We want to meet you and help you discover your dreams for your home.

As the world buzzes about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's new baby, another member of the royal family is making a big announcement. Prince Charles is getting ready to open Granary Lodge, a bed-and-breakfast with a view of Scotland's Castle of Mey, on May 15.
The property in northern Scotland was originally owned by the Queen Mother, Charles's grandmother, who died in 2002 at age 101. She lived in the home after her husband, King George VI, died in 1952, and she worked hard to restore the estate. She then handed it over to the Queen Elizabeth Castle of Mey Trust, and now Charles has completed renovations to bring the property into the modern era.
Each bedroom features unique decor.

Guests will find ten unique bedrooms with classic decor such as dark wood furniture, canopy beds, and floral sheets. The large bathrooms feature fun outdoors-inspired paintings of fish against a blue and white wallpapered wall. There are also two luxury suites, each with its own lounge area, and a common drawing room with a fireplace and stunning views over the Pentland Firth to Orkney.
The drawing room has stunning views of the sea.
There are also other venues on the property, including the Captain's House, a "luxury self-catering holiday cottage" that sleeps six and features beautiful wood detailing throughout as well as a 20-foot conservatory, which overlooks the enclosed garden and has panoramic sea views. The dwelling, where the Queen Mother frequently enjoyed picnic lunches, is available for vacation rentals. The Castle & Gardens of Mey are also available for rent as a wedding venue and for other private events.
The bathroom has been updated with modern details.
Although the future King of England is technically the innkeeper, he will not be making money off the business. Instead, all profits will go to the Queen Elizabeth Castle of Mey Trust, which maintains the property and welcomes tourists. The purpose of the project is to encourage tourism in the Northern Highlands. Reservations are now open.

Q: visually pretend a widget has focus without actually having it I need to paint a styled widget the same style as if it had a focus but without actually having the focus. My concrete case is a tool/popup list box (containing QListView) which should hover above other widgets but it should not receive focus (unlike QCompleter popup). But I would like to paint it the same style as if it had focus, i.e. blue highlighting of the current row instead of gray (in the default style in Windows 10). Can I somehow fake/pretend that a widget has a focus without actually having it, so that it can be painted as being focused?
I naively tried to call qApp->postEvent(myPopup, new QFocusEvent(QEvent::FocusIn)); but it made no change and the popup still looks as if it has not focus.
I do not want to mess up my code with stylesheets or having to override the styled item delegate in some way as these feel like hack more than a clean code.

A: You'll have to implement a proxy style that paints everything as if it was focused, and that's perhaps the only non-hacky, generic way that doesn't care about other details.


We've provided public relations services in Auckland and beyond for many clients, in a wide range of sectors.
As highly experienced public relations practitioners, we have worked with clients in many sectors - from corporates through to sole operator businesses. We are committed to providing excellent service - so much so, that several of these partnerships go back more than a decade.
In early 2017 Cadence Communications were employed by The Langham Auckland to assist with project to promote awareness of the hotels sustainability credentials, focussed around our winning of an international environmental award. Cadence's brief included assistance with developing key messaging, media relations, development of a media familiarisation program, development of an invitation list and support for our announcement event.
From the outset, I always felt comfortable that we had selected the right people for this job. Cadence quickly came to grips with the specifics of the project and importantly, rapidly assessed the unique touch points important to our internal stakeholders. As the Director responsible for this project I worked closely with Suzanne and always found her approachable, candid and focused on leading me towards the agreed outcomes. Suzanne has a down to earth charm that allows her to translate typical marketing speak into relevant and actionable terms.
I was impressed with Cadence and their ability to quickly present a well-structured plan. As it turned out the timeline and requirements of the project moved away from the original brief, through our own requirements as the client, but Cadence showed an admirable flexibility and continuous focus on our goals, ensuring that the end result exceeded our initial expectations. At the end we measured our communication success through exposure, and we were more than delighted with the opportunities Cadence created and delivered for us across a wide range of media. From their introductions and depth of knowledge we have now developed valuable new contacts and several important relationships with local media and influencers. The results achieved gave us unexpected kudos within our own organisation and have had a notable impact on the group's global sustainability outlook.
I would have no hesitation to recommend Cadence or to employ them for another similar project again.
Macular Degeneration NZ (MDNZ) engaged Cadence Communications to lead the Macular Degeneration annual Awareness Week campaign in May 2016. Their collective insight, experience and commitment led to a very successful campaign that worked extremely well for us. We were delighted with the very good media pick up resulting in extensive coverage through social media, TV, radio and print both nationally and around the regions. We thank the team at Cadence.
Working with Anna at Cadence Communications has been a very successful partnership for Fero. Anna has gained us extensive coverage across a range of media relevant to our industry and beyond. Not only have our customers been exposed to some very positive media but also there has been a very large spill over into other industries and audiences who have been exposed to our company and what we do through this PR campaign.
Anna has a great way of drawing information for an article and clearly communicating the relevant detail. She has a great understanding of the current climate and what the media is looking for. Being able to match what we are trying to achieve in our marketing strategy with what is going to gain traction as news is a key part of successful PR and Anna has a talent for this.
I look forward to working with Cadence in the future and would happily recommend their services to anyone wanting to use the media to communicate their message.
Suzanne McNamara at Cadence Communications has handled our media coverage for the NZI Sustainable Business Network Awards for four years now. We've been delighted with the coverage she has obtained for us. She's a hard worker who is persistent at pursuing any media opportunities to ensure she obtains the best possible coverage for us. She has a very good understanding of different media as well as a good understanding of us as a client, and is well connected in the media world. I have no hesitation in recommending Suzanne.
Cadence Communications' media training workshop was very good, with great tips and ideas. It covered all the angles, was clear and concise and focused in on what's most important. The facilitator was great.
I introduced Anna to one of my clients who sought a PR professional who specialised in B2B. She quickly understood the client's market and the problems that they faced, whilst also advising us on what PR could and could not do to fix these problems. Anna was a pleasure to work with - professional, realistic and not afraid to speak out. She has generated a great deal of valuable PR for my client by finding interesting angles and developing good stories that she sold in through her long-standing media relationships. We were delighted to have her on our team..
I highly recommend Suzanne to any business that is looking for a savvy, strategic and dedicated Marketing, PR and sponsorship manager - she delivers on all levels and will be a major asset to your brand or project.
I have worked with Anna for many years and appreciate her dedication to helping us communicate with great clarity and effectiveness. She goes to considerable lengths to ensure we are clear about what we want to achieve from the exercise and challenges our thinking to make sure we get it right. I know I can always count on her to then get on and do the work in a cost- and time-effective manner.
I love the fact that I can rely on Anna to provide totally impartial and unbiased advice, often asking the difficult questions and then having the skills to communicate this very clearly and succinctly ensuring we present ourselves in a professional way at all times.
Hiring Suzanne to get some "PR" seemed normal enough. A press release here and there, maybe a call from someone in the media . . . but what we got wasn't expected at all. Can you believe Suzanne got us a full page article in the Sunday Star-Times? And on their website. Color, photos, interview. . . the whole shebang.
More than a decade's experience working with clients in the natural health products sector has given us a deep understanding of the consumer and legislative forces that affect it. Current and previous clients include: Natural Health Products NZ (the industry group for companies in this sector), Promisia (Arthrem), Blackmores NZ and more. Services include media relations, issue management, communication counsel, writing and editing. Click here to see a recent example of our media relations work. Find out more about our PR work with this sector.
Our people have worked with several environmental and sustainability organisations, providing PR strategy, media relations, sponsorship, web content development and marketing services.
Cadence has worked with a engineering firms, providing them with customer communication, web content and communication counsel services. We have provided communication related services to civil and electrical engineering firms.
We have assisted two large banks with employee communication relating to significant change. We have also assisted a treasury management advisory service to raise its profile and strengthen its brand through a series of thought leadership pieces published in major business publications. To this day journalists still contact them for comment as a result of the awareness raising programme.
We have extensive health sector communication experience, including Anna having been previously employed as the communication manager for a health promotion organisation. In this role she was involved in media relations, advocacy, government relations and Select Committee submission preparation. In more recent times, we have assisted a DHB with project-related communication strategy development and implementation, and also ran a communication planning workshop for the management team at a Maori healthcare organisation. We have promoted new health technology for an American listed company when launching their products in New Zealand. This prompted the President to comment that New Zealand had the most successful PR launch activity out of any other country.
Our work in this sector focused on employee communication, event management, media relations and web content development. We have also produced a customer magazine showcasing work for a client in the infrastructure sector.
We gained our client significant media coverage over print and broadcast media. In addition, we also developed this client's web content.
All of our team have extensive experience in working with organisations in the not-for-profit sector. As a result we know how to deliver the biggest bang for what is often a limited buck! Public relations services include: advocacy, media relations, issue management, web content development and event management.
We have worked with several property firms, providing communication strategy development, brand identity, websites, issue management, local and central government relations as well as gaining PR coverage in the media for their projects. We have worked for some of the leading independent property developers and have an in-depth knowledge of the property sector.
A number of technology sector and high-tech manufacturing clients have benefited from our public relations and media relations advice and support.
Client referees are available upon request.

Stephanopoulos Asks Reince Priebus If The Romney Campaign Is 'In Denial' About Impact Of 47% Comments
By Noah RothmanSep 23rd, 2012, 12:24 pm
Appearing on ABC's This Week, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus joined George Stephanopoulos to talk about the now-infamous hidden camera video in which Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney talked about the 47 percent of Americans who pay no income tax as well as the members of the GOP expressing anxiety that the Romney campaign needs to rethink their strategy. When Priebus insisted that the Romney campaign is still competitive with President Barack Obama, Stephanopoulos asked if they were in a state of denial over the negative impact of the GOP nominee's comments.
RELATED: David Frum Savages Mitt Romney Over His Comments About The 47 Percent
Stephanopoulos asked Priebus about the impact that Romney's comments about the 47 percent would have on the trajectory of the presidential race.
"Governor Romney's been pretty clear, it wasn't the best-said moment in the campaign and probably not the best week in the campaign," Priebus said. He said that this week would be seen as the week when the Obama and Romney campaign's messages crystalized around a dependency society or a future of independence.
"You like the choice that was presented to votes last week," Stephanopoulos asked.
"No," said Priebus. He clarified that the message the Romney campaign has embraced in the wake of the 47 percent comments around dependency is a strong political argument.
Priebus was asked about critics of Romney on the right, notably Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan, who called the Romney campaign a "rolling calamity."
Priebus called Noonan "really smart" and said that he respects and admires those who are concerned about the Romney campaign's message. "I'm not sitting here talking to you because I'm worried about the future of the Republican party," said Priebus. "We're worried about the future of our country." He said, in this way, he can understand the anxiety of his fellow conservatives.
