US discusses ways to keep aid flowing to PA
The Obama administration is lobbying Congress to unblock $200 million in aid for the Palestinian Authority that was frozen due to its bid for UN recognition of statehood over US and Israeli objections. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said on Monday the administration was in "intensive" discussions with key lawmakers who had put holds on the money, a financial lifeline for the Palestinian Authority.
Mosque torching in Israel: Could it spark Arab Spring-style protests?
A mosque was torched in northern Israel early Monday, prompting a clash between police who fired tear gas canisters and hundreds of Arab citizens of Israel who threw stones and briefly closed down a highway. The incident, seen as part of an ongoing campaign of Jewish vigilantism, underscores fears by Israeli officials that such attacks could spark Arab Spring-style protests among Palestinians.
NEWS: The torching of a mosque in northern Israel prompts fears of clashes between Palestinian citizens of Israel and the authorities, and may be the latest example of "price tag" violence by Israeli extremists. The Obama administration is looking ways to unblock $200 million for Palestinian development projects being withheld by Congress. Defense Secretary Panetta criticizes the congressional action. Palestinian public employees will receive full salaries in September. Noted Palestinian poet Taha Muhammad Ali passes away. A major leader of the settlement movement also dies. Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry is backed by some Jewish extremists. Nigeria's Foreign Ministry says it has not decided how they would vote in the Security Council on a Palestinian membership resolution. PM Fayyad says the West Bank separation barrier will fall like the Berlin wall. COMMENTARY: Akiva Eldar says PM Netanyahu is counting on no one reading the fine print of the Quartet statement he has accepted. Natasha Mozgovaya says Washington's stance on peace is now murky. Hagai Segal says only deranged people could think burning a mosque is a good idea. Gershon Baskin says both parties have said "yes, but" to the Quartet statement. Yaakov Katz says Jewish terrorism in Israel is gaining steam. Logan Bayroff says J Street U is pioneering a new path for peace on US campuses. Zuheir Kseibati says the Palestinians are not only facing an American veto at the UN, but also an Iranian one on the ground. Steve Hochstadt questions whether embracing the extreme Christian right makes any sense for Jewish Americans. Herb Keinon asks why Netanyahu approved the new settlement project in occupied East Jerusalem.
Israel to demand adjustment of Quartet Mideast peace plan, official says
by Barak Ravid - October 3, 2011 - 12:00am
While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated on Sunday that he welcomed "the Quartet's call for direct negotiations between the parties without preconditions," the premier intends to present a list of qualifications to the Quartet's statement on a resumption of Mideast talks that in effect enfeeble that statement.
News: In a suspected "price tag" attack, a mosque in northern Israel is burned down. Defense Secretary Panetta says Israel is becoming increasingly isolated, and that Congress is making a big mistake withholding aid from the PA. Palestinian leaders say the cut in aid could be devastating. The Israeli government and the Palestinian leadership have both accepted the Quartet statement, but with reservations. Israeli ministers say they will demand changes to the document. The EU reportedly says it will not cut aid to the PA. Pres. Abbas will visit Colombia to discuss its position on the UN initiative. Abbas' aides say he's planning to propose early presidential and parliamentary elections. The West Bank is enjoying boom in construction in spite of Israeli restrictions. US Republicans have become almost entirely and unconditionally pro-Israel. The Syrian regime angrily accuses Hamas of funding the opposition. Commentary: ATFP President Ziad Asali explains the raison d'être of the American Task Force on Palestine. Raghida Dergham interviews Abbas, and says a new regional order is emerging in the UN. Akiva Eldar says Israel and the Palestinians must accept each other's legitimacy. Bradley Burston says the U.S. Congress could kill the two-state solution by cutting funds to the PA. Avi Yesawich says extremist rabbis are using religion as a cover for radical politics. Renee Ghert-Zand looks at the relationship between Palestinian identity and their national cuisine. Former Australian PM Fraser says it's time for the West to recognize Palestine. Sari Nusseibeh explains Palestinian objections to recognizing Israel as a "Jewish state." Hussein Ibish looks at five options Palestinians have now that they've submitted their UN membership application.

In a perfunctory meeting on Wednesday morning, Sept. 28, as expected, and per its usual procedure for dealing with would-be new United Nations members since the late 1960s, the Security Council referred the Palestinian application to one of its standing committees. The committee -- which meets and votes in secret and requires unanimity to refer the matter back to the Security Council -- is scheduled to begin considering the application on Friday morning. The membership process usually takes weeks, but can take only days (as with the most recent U.N.
Why Israel can't be a 'Jewish State'
ATFP World Press Roundup Article from Al-Jazeera English
(Opinion) September 30, 2011 - 12:00am
The Israeli government's current mantra is that the Palestinians must recognise a "Jewish State". Of course, the Palestinians have clearly and repeatedly recognised the State of Israel as such in the 1993 Oslo Accords (which were based on an Israeli promise to establish a Palestinian state within five years - a promise now shattered) and many times since. Recently, however, Israeli leaders have dramatically and unilaterally moved the goal-posts and are now clamouring that Palestinians must recognise Israel as a "Jewish State".
Hamas is 'backing protesters' says Syria
ATFP World Press Roundup Article from The National
by Phil Sands - October 2, 2011 - 12:00am
Damascus // Syria's relationship with Hamas is increasingly strained over the Palestinian group's refusal to openly endorse Damascus and its tactics in suppressing an anti-regime uprising, according to figures close to both sides. Once firm allies, the Syrian authorities, led by President Bashar Al Assad, and the Islamic resistance movement, headed by Khalid Meshaal from his headquarters in Damascus, are now barely on speaking terms, regime officials and an Islamic cleric close to Hamas said.
How the GOP has learned to love Israel unconditionally
by Ron Kampeas - September 28, 2011 - 12:00am
WASHINGTON (JTA) -- Republican presidents have been guiding Israel toward the peace table -- sometimes not so gently -- almost since the Jewish state was born more than six decades ago. But in the recent round of debates, the crop of candidates vying for the GOP nomination have been chiding President Obama for forcing Israel's hand -- usually to great cheers from the audience. "You don't allow an inch of space to exist between you and your friends and allies," former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney said at the most recent debate, Sept. 22 in Orlando, Fla., earning thunderous applause.

Heptio Helps Launch Ksonnet To Make Kubernetes Simpler
Wednesday May 24th 2017 by Sean Michael Kerner
After publicly stating that 'Kubernetes Sucks,' co-founder of Heptio is helping to lead a new effort that aims to simplify configuring Kubernetes.
Joe Beda and Craig McLuckie started Heptio in November 2016 with the basic idea of making Kubernetes friendly. Heptio is now aiming to deliver on that promise by helping to launch the Ksonnet effort that aims to simplify Kubernetes configurations.
Beda and McLuckie are well known in the Kubernertes community, as they were part of the team at Google that helped create Kubernetes in the first place. Kubernetes is an open-source container management and orchestration system that is now part of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), which itself is a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project.
"There are a lot of folks that are new to the community that find Kubernetes a bit inaccessible," McLuckie said. "We're looking to make Kubernetes more friendly to developers that would identify themselves as being traditional system engineers."
The first public effort Heptio is helping out with to make Kubernetes more friendly is called ksonnet. McLuckie said the intent of ksonnet is to provide an easier entry point for the YAML configuration syntax used in Kubernetes.
"We never intended for developers to directly interact with Kubernetes YAML, yet somehow over time it became the de facto interface for application developers to define the environment in which they wanted to run their applications," McLuckie said.
Other organizations including Box, Bitnami and Microsoft have also been working on efforts to improve the configuration experience. With ksonnet, Box, Bitanmi and Microsoft are now coming together in an open-source effort. Ksonnet introduces a new more accessible syntax for describing applications that run in a Kubernetes environment
Ksonnet Not a Replacement for Kubernetes YAML
Ksonnet is not a replacement for the Kubernetes YAML; rather, it can be thought of as an abstraction layer.
"The YAML schema is essentially the Kubernetes API written to disk," Beda told ServerWatch.
He added that as an API, the original intent was to be very explicit and machine readable and not human writable.
Ksonnet is based on the jsonnet language, which itself is based on the JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) technology.
"What we're doing with ksonnet is we're taking jsonnet and essentially providing some useful patterns and starting points for using it with Kubernetes," Beda said.
The ksonnet effort is also providing some tooling, including a Visual Studio plugin, to help make it easier to get started with Kubernetes configuration.
Configuring container applications can be done in a number of different ways. Docker has a tool called Compose that is popular with developers building container applications. Beda said that in his view Docker Compose is focused on the developer experience when developing something on a single machine.
"When running containers in production, building a container and launching a container are not always as close as when you're in the development process," Beda said. "We think it actually makes sense to separate the idea of building the container image from launching and running the container image."
Compose is also optimized for Docker Swarm, which is an alternate approach to Kubernetes for container orchestration.
Making Kubernetes Suck Less
At the Kubecon EU event in March, Beda delivered a keynote address in which he said that "Kubernetes sucks." Beda's basic thesis was that Kubernetes, while powerful, can be difficult for some to use.
With ksonnet, Beda said the goal is to change that situation. "We're taking a really sober look at the user experience," Beda said. "Kubernetes has good bones, but I think there are some gaps that need to be bridged. Ksonnet is really us putting a down payment and our code where my mouth is and make Kubernetes suck less."

Users Russian Ground Forces (prediction)
Cartridge 23×75mmR (6.27 gauge)
Capacity 3+1 internal tube magazine
Fire Mode Pump-Action
The KS-23 is an upcoming weapon in Squad.[1][2]
General Information[edit | edit source]
In the 1970s, the Soviet Ministry of Internal Affairs (MVD) needed a weapon to suppress prison riots. As a result, the Soviet public corporation TsNIITochMash designed the KS-23, a pump-action 6.27 gauge shotgun, in 1971. The barrel for the KS-23 was made from 23 mm anti-aircraft gun barrels that failed the factory testing. These rejected barrels were deemed to be acceptable for the lower stress of firing slugs and less-lethal rounds, and thus were cut down in length for use as shotgun barrels. The KS-23 began to see use during 1985 by the Soviet police and several MVD forces. The KS-23 was exported to a few nations, namely Kazakhstan, North Korea, and Uzbekistan.
One of the KS-23's unique features is its large caliber, which fires a 23mm round (6.27 imperial gauge/4 metric gauge), making the gun the largest-bore shotgun in use today. The KS-23 has a barrel length of 510mm and an overall length of 1040 mm. The KS-23 has an underbarrel tubular magazine capable of holding three rounds, with one in the chamber giving the gun a maximum round capacity of four. The gun's effective range is 150 m.
Media[edit | edit source]
It is officially designated by the Russian military as a carbine since it uses a rifled barrel.
KS stands for Karabin Spetsialniy ("Special Carbine") and 23 indicates the caliber used for the weapon.
A misconception about the gun in Squad was that it was never officially adopted by the Russian Ground Forces and that it is mostly used by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Russian law enforcement, and the Border Guard Service.

The Way Out — And Back
Posted by Donna Swarthout in Article 116 Citizenship, Jewish Identity and Modern Germany
Diaspora Jews, German citizenship, German Jews, Holocaust, refugees, second generation
Spending part of last week inside the University of Luxembourg's imposing steel skyscraper, situated next door to an even more imposing former steel manufacturing facility was a little eerie. Persistently gray and rainy skies rounded out the steely gray landscape. But the engaging group of historians at the conference The Way Out: Microhistories of Flight from Nazi Germany kept me in good spirits and the feverish work of the translators (English, French, German) kept me entertained whenever there was a dull moment. My presentation about the German Jewish citizenship experience went well and a few attendees even asked to be notified when my book A Place They Called Home comes out.
The other 23 presentations at the conference focused on the pre- and post-war experiences of refugees in Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal, Riga, the No Man's Land, and many other places. I wasn't sure how well my more contemporary focus on "the way back" through reclaimed German citizenship would fit into the conference theme. But I felt reassured when Bob Moore, the historian who gave the closing remarks, commented on how extensively the Holocaust has been studied and how important it is for micro-historians to couch their work in a broader framework.
I'm not a micro-historian (or even a historian), but I agree that we can expand knowledge by studying choices made at the individual level, choices that can illuminate "the space of the possible." Examining the personal histories of re-naturalized German citizens will, I hope, give insight into how descendants of Jewish families who fled the Nazis are forming new connections to contemporary German and European society.
Across Continents and Generations
30 Wednesday Nov 2016
CIEE Berlin, German citizenship, German Jews, Holocaust, refugees, Theresienstadt
Sometimes the scattered pursuits of life come together to form a moment of connection, a moment that inspires and enlightens. This week my online acquaintance with a Holocaust survivor, my faculty position at CIEE's Global Institute Berlin, and my desire to impart knowledge of the German Jewish heritage to my children and members of their generation came together in one such connecting moment.
The occasion was Garry Fabian's visit to Germany to speak about his book A Look Back Over My Shoulder. It wasn't just Garry's story of internment, survival, and reconciliation that made the evening special, or the fact that a second German edition of his book has just been released (Blick Zurück. Wie ein Stuttgarter Junge das KZ Theresienstadt überlebt hat). Garry travelled with his daughter Carole and grandson Seamus from Australia, giving our students the chance to hear one family's Holocaust story from an intergenerational perspective.
Garry is a true story teller whose easy-going speaking style invites us to face the past and learn about what we must never forget. He shared many vignettes from his childhood experiences as a refugee and concentration camp internee, but words were hardly necessary to demonstrate the strength of his spirit with his daughter and grandson at his side. Carole shared her second generation perspective, speaking of her grandmother's silence and how she gained awareness of the plight of Melbourne's Jewish refugees as she was growing up. Perched among the college students, my daughter Olivia, a high school senior, could relate to Seamus who spoke of how growing up Jewish and learning about the Holocaust were not as central to his identity as they were for his elders.
Born in Stuttgart in 1934, Garry established a renewed connection to Germany over the course of many years, ultimately deciding to reclaim his citizenship in 2007. Carole and her children have also become German citizens. I'm honored that Garry has contributed his citizenship story for my book project, which may soon include a submission from his descendants as well.
My Chanukah Lights
Posted by Donna Swarthout in Jewish Holidays and Rituals
Berlin, Chanukah, refugees
The menorah sparkled a little brighter this year, either to give more hope for a brighter future or because I bought longer, fancier candles. Drawing us close together, the lights remind me of the many ways my family lit up my life throughout the year. But the flames also beckon us to help light the way for others, as Berlin's thousands of volunteers are doing through their refugee relief efforts. I borrowed former President Bush's term "points of light" to describe these volunteers in my recent article, The Women's Room, for the Jewish Women's Archive.
Happy Chanukah and thanks to my kids for being such incredibly wacky, funny, and bright lights in my life. I don't think I'll ever be ready for 2016, the year our first-born child will leave home for college. But I have no doubt that he and his siblings will make the world a brighter place wherever they may go.
The Face of Germany's Far Right
Posted by Donna Swarthout in Uncategorized
AfD, Frauke Petry, Germany, refugees
What kind of mother kisses her kids goodbye and goes off to whip the masses into a xenophobic frenzy of opposition to Germany's refugee policy? That was the question I pondered after reading the latest news stories about weekend clashes in Berlin between asylum activists and the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) party.
At the helm of the AfD is Frauke Petry, a 41-year-old mother of four with a background as a chemist and businesswoman. I didn't expect a key leader of Germany's anti-migrant zealots to be a relatively young and attractive woman. She's been compared to France's Marine Le Pen and accused of appearing entirely reasonable while supporting the xenophobic far right. This is the face of right-wing extremism in Germany.
I guess the fact that she's a mom pushed my buttons. I don't suspect we'll find her kids doing volunteer work at any refugee shelters or standing around any train stations with "Refugees Welcome" signs. Nor do I suspect that Petry talks to her kids about the moral implications of the refugee crisis or the studies which show that EU countries have the capacity to welcome a vastly larger share of refugees than they have been doing so far. Instead, she calls for stronger ties to Russia and more children for German families, hoping to inspire a new generation of German mothers who follow the AfD's politics of hate.
The AfD began as an anti-Euro party that pushed for a "Grexit" from the euro. Now that the AfD has staked out a position on the far right as Germany's anti-immigrant party, let's hope it will soon make its own exit from Europe.
"We will manage," says Merkel
Angela Merkel, Berlin, Rathaus Wilmersdorf, refugees
Signs of a refugee crisis are not readily apparent to an ordinary resident of Berlin. Traversing the city each day I hear the same mix of Russian, Turkish, English, German and Arabic that I'm used to hearing in this city that is Germany's closest approximation to a melting pot. But the media reports that Germany is expected to receive more than one million asylum seekers this year and that fights are breaking out in Berlin's central refugee registration center. Angela Merkel has assured the public that "we will manage", but opinion polls tell us that many Germans are not convinced.
I didn't know whether to expect chaos or calm before my first volunteer shift at the refugee center in Rathaus Wilmersdorf this week. On earlier trips past the building I'd seen few signs of the hundreds of refugees given temporary shelter there. It seemed like one of Berlin's many historical twists of fate that someone who fled Syria or Afghanistan would survive the trip to Germany and end up in a municipal office building that was a vestige of the Nazi era.
The four hours I spent inside the building confirmed everything I've read about why refugees have made Germany their first choice destination. More than 800 people are living in a clean and well-organized environment where they have access to medical care, regular meals, and vast supplies of clothing and other essentials. Abundant volunteers help out in all areas of the building and provide translation services in Arabic, Farsi, and Urdu. Berliners bring a steady stream of supplies to the donation drop-off point. My very limited exposure to Berlin's refugee relief measures reassured me that the German traits of efficiency and hard work are in ample evidence (from Germans and non-Germans alike).
My tiny part in this mammoth relief effort took place in a glass enclosed Info-Point plastered with all kinds of brochures and flyers. Almost every resident who came to my window asked me for a SIM card or phone so they could call family members they'd left behind. It was hard to look them in the eye and say that I only had information, train tickets, and bottled water to distribute. I didn't feel very useful, but I managed to answer some questions and help with a variety of small tasks. I also had a great vantage point for watching the little kids race around the hallways and the inner courtyard on mini bikes and scooters. Although no photography is allowed, I snapped a quick shot of Berlin's newest transit brochure, one in which the German language is noticeably absent. I believe if we all try to help a little, "we will manage."
Cruising into the New Year
Berlin, carsharing, refugees, Rosh Hashanah
Our sweet beginning to the Jewish New Year came in the form of a nice set of wheels to cruise around Berlin on a Sunday afternoon. Berlin may have one of the best transit systems in the world, but that doesn't mean my feet are happy at the end of a long day. I'm married to a man who doesn't like cars, but he took pity on me with another birthday coming up and registered for DriveNow, one of Berlin's carsharing services.
We picked up our Mini Cooper Countryman in Wilmersdorf after stopping at the Fehrbelliner Platz refugee center to make a donation of much needed train tickets. The atmosphere outside the shelter was calm and peaceful, giving no hint of the desperate hunt underway in Berlin and other cities to find more space to shelter the thousands of asylum seekers entering Germany. We support using the former Tempelhof airport as a temporary shelter. The facility has space for a few thousand people and would become one of Europe's biggest refugee shelters if approved. It seems fitting for the site that was the staging ground for the Berlin airlift during the Cold War to once again become a locus of emergency relief.
Driving away from the refugee center and north towards Mitte to check out one of the city's popular third wave coffee joints, I felt the most like a Berliner that I've ever felt. We are privileged to live and raise our children in this city at a time when Germany is opening its arms to people who have been forced to flee their homelands. As established Jewish residents of Berlin whose families were refugees in another era, we can offer help and understanding to asylum seekers who do not yet feel at home here. Germany may never be their Heimat, a term that has a much deeper meaning than "home", but it offers the hope of a new beginning.
At 31 cents a minute, I'm not sure how much driving we'll be doing in the coming year, but fortunately there are many great ways to cruise around Berlin. While we're on the move we hope to make small, ongoing contributions to help alleviate the refugee crisis. It's easy to find ways that you can help out online. Shana Tova!

By the end of my trial month I had quickly fallen in love with the challenges, the camaraderie, and the euphoria of accomplishing tasks I had never before thought possible – all things that I now know are integral parts of CrossFit. As for how hard it could be…well, of course it's hard, but hard in the way that any test of one's physical and mental abilities can be. And there is no better environment in which to test yourself: the support and attention of the coaches and fellow athletes is beyond anything I've experienced anywhere else. I am now committed to and enthusiastic about sharing my knowledge and experience with others.
The level of depth, idea exchange, and support in the CrossFit program ensures that the workouts, the coaching, and the community will never get dull. And as for me as a coach, I am stoked that I am able to witness people transform their lives a little bit every day.

What is the secret of Spotify marketing strategy?
Marketing Strategy for the ultimate music streaming service
by Maya January 24, 2023
0 comment 0FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail
Spotify is a music streaming service with over 200 million users. In this article, we'll explore how Spotify has managed to be one of the most successful companies in the world by using its marketing strategy.
A music streaming service is a service that allows users to listen to music on demand over the internet.
The emphasis here is on "on demand," not "on-demand," which means you can listen whenever and wherever you want. Spotify is definitely one of the most popular and best-known services in this category and one of the most profitable ones.
Spotify has been around since 2008 when it launched its first desktop application called "Scrobbling," which allowed users to keep track of what songs they were listening to for them later be played automatically through their mobile devices or computers once downloaded onto those same devices (when connected).
Since then, Spotify has grown into an industry leader with millions upon millions worth invested into developing new features such as playlists or radio stations but also creating partnerships with other companies like Apple Music or Tidal who offer exclusive content available only through those platforms (such as Taylor Swift's 1989 album which was released only on Apple Music).
Spotify has over 100 million users, but how does it work?
Spotify is a "freemium" service which means that basic features are available for free while premium features come at an additional cost. This model has proven highly successful since many people are willing to pay a small monthly fee in exchange for access to more exclusive content and other perks such as offline listening or the ability to skip more than 6 songs per hour when using their mobile apps.
Spotify was founded by Daniel Ek and Martin Lorentzon in 2006; the two were former employees of TradeDoubler, an advertising company based in Stockholm.
The idea for Spotify came about when Lorentzon saw how popular illegal file-sharing sites had become and wanted to create a legal alternative that would allow users to listen to music online without paying anything.
Spotify's Target niche audience
Spotify is a music streaming platform that allows you to listen to your favorite songs anywhere you go.
Spotify's target audience is music fans, who love listening to music and enjoy being able to access it anytime they want.
These people often seek new artists or bands they can discover and learn about through Spotify's vast music library.
They also tend to be interested in other forms of entertainment, such as movies or TV shows, which means that if you want to access this audience, then advertising on platforms like Hulu will help get you started!
Spotify's marketing strategy is the key to its success.
Spotify has more than 50 million active users worldwide and has grown over the years thanks to its strong marketing strategy focused on customers.
The company has always been committed to offering the best experience possible when listening to music online while keeping the costs low for listeners and artists alike.
The service has been around for more than a decade, and in that time, it has grown exponentially.
Spotify's marketing strategy is based on the idea of "customer-centricity," which means that everything they do is centered around their customers and what they need to succeed in today's world: access to music, ease of use, and great value for money (the three Es). They have turned this into a culture where everyone at Spotify understands that their job is not only about selling products or services but also about making sure people enjoy using them so much that they come back again and again!
This focus helps keep everyone focused on making sure each customer has exactly what they want – whether it be recommendations based on what you've listened to before or an easy way to share discoveries with friends via social media platforms like Facebook or Twitter while still allowing users complete control over their privacy settings, so nothing goes viral unless you want it too 🙂
Spotify is looking for a broader market by incorporating more languages, recently launching in 12 new markets in India and the Middle East.
Spotify is available in over 60 countries and has over 100 million users. In June 2020, Spotify launched in 12 new markets in India and the Middle East. This move will help the company to increase its user base by millions of users who speak different languages such as English, Hindi, Arabic, etc.
Spotify recently announced that it would launch in 12 new languages, including English (United States), Spanish (Mexico), French (France) & Italiano, among others. It also plans to add support for more languages over time so that users can enjoy listening to music while learning new languages simultaneously!
Spotify focuses on entering more countries and generating revenue from its premium offering.
Spotify focuses on entering more countries and generating revenue from its premium offering. Spotify has entered many new markets in the last few months, including Mexico, Hong Kong, South Africa, and New Zealand. This strategy is expected to help the company increase its market share and overall revenue.
Spotify also plans to create partnerships with brands to increase its market share.
The growing popularity of their service led to an increase in their revenue.
Spotify's marketing strategy is focused on its customers. When a company focuses on its customers, it's much easier for them to develop a successful marketing campaign.
This is because they know what customers want and how they can fulfill those needs.
Spotify's marketing strategy has been to offer a great product at a fair price.
In addition, their service has been easy for people who need to learn more about computers or streaming music services, which means that anyone can use it easily without needing special skills or knowledge. This makes Spotify stand out from other streaming services, such as Pandora or Apple Music because those two companies only offer what you could find elsewhere on the web (with some exceptions).
The success of Spotify's marketing strategy reflects its focus on the customer, which has increased its revenue. Their social media pages are constantly updated with new content that adds value for their fans and followers, and their music streaming service offers users a personalized experience based on what they listen to most often—and at no cost!
This type of marketing strategy works because it's focused on improving the lives of others while earning profits as well.

Gabriel "Gay" Mitchell (Irish: "Gabriel Ó Maoilmhíchil") (born 30 December 1951 in Dublin) is an Irish politician and Member of the European Parliament for Dublin since 2004. He is a member of Fine Gael, part of the European People's Party, and a former Teachta Dála for Dublin South Central from 1981–2007.__TOC__Gay Mitchell was born in Inchicore, Dublin in 1951. He was educated at St. Michael's Christian Brothers School, Emmet Road Vocational School, DIT College of Commerce and Queen's University Belfast.
Mitchell first became involved in politics in 1979 as a member of Dublin City Council. He was first elected to Dáil Éireann as Fine Gael TD at the 1981 general election for the Dublin South Central constituency. Since then he has served as a Minister of State at the Department of the Taoiseach and the Department of Foreign Affairs with special responsibility for European Affairs. He was the Irish Representative on the Reflection Group which prepared the Amsterdam Treaty.
Mitchell is also a former Lord Mayor of Dublin and, while never holding full cabinet rank, has served on the opposition front bench as spokesperson on Health (2000–2002), Foreign Affairs (1997–2000), Justice (1993–1994), Public Service and Constitutional Reform (1991–1992), Tourism and Transport (1989–1991), European Integration (1988–1989), Urban Renewal (1987–1988) and Health Board Reform (1981–1982).
Following Michael Noonan's resignation as Fine Gael leader in 2002, Mitchell was a challenger in the subsequent leadership election, losing out to the victor, Enda Kenny. Before his election to the European Parliament, Mitchell had been party spokesperson on Foreign Affairs, writing the party's "Beyond Neutrality" policy document. In November 2006, Mitchell announced that he had taken the difficult decision not to contest the 2007 general election and concentrate on his European seat. [ [http://www.rte.ie/news/2006/1124/tds.html Fox & Mitchell not standing in election] – "RTÉ News" article, 24 November 2006.]
Mitchel is a Vice Chair of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly.
His late brother Jim was a long-serving Fine Gael TD and former government minister.
During the 2008 referendum on the Lisbon Treaty, Mr. Mitchell supported the Yes campaign and was Fine Gael's director of elections for the referendum. He was widely praised for the role he played in the Lisbon campaign.

CLAREMONT, Calif. (Oct. 5, 2018) – The Caltech men's water polo team picked up its second win of the season over Connecticut College in the second game of Friday's first day of the Gary Troyer Tournament hosted by Claremont-Mudd-Scripps Colleges and Pomona-Pitzer Colleges.
Sophomore center Steven Csaposs (Davis, Calif. / Davis) and senior Charles Ross (Wexford, Pa. / North Allegheny) did most of the damage for the Beavers in the first game of Friday's tournament, with the former scoring five goals and the latter scoring four goals. Senior Eshan Govil (Redwood City, Calif. / Sacred Heart Prep) scored Caltech's other two goals. Csaposs also dominated defensively for Caltech with four steals in a game where the Beavers began to assert themselves in the fourth quarter, matching Iona with four goals in the final frame.
The Beavers rose to the occasion in Friday's second game, defeating Connecticut College, 7-4, thanks to a stout defensive effort. Caltech held its opponent to one goal for each of the game's four quarters and ended the game with three unanswered goals. Csaposs found the back of the net twice, as did Govil, and sophomore Alex Janosi (Ann Arbor, Mich. / Dexter) had a perfect game on sprints while adding four steals himself. Ross also scored, extending his scoring streak to 17 games dating back to 2017. Sophomore Neil Sanderson (Laguna Beach, Calif. / Winchester) and freshman Alex Wang (Saratoga, Calif. / The Harker School) also scored for Caltech.
"We're happy to get the win, but we are not satisfied," Head Coach Jon Bonafede said. "Our defense bailed us out on several occasions, but now it's time to carry the momentum over to try and build something bigger. Tonight when we go to bed, we're going to be thinking about Washington & Jefferson, and Penn State Behrend after that. It will be a great opportunity to see how far we've come since our road trip last month."
Bonafede and the Beavers will rematch Washington & Jefferson University tomorrow at 10:20 a.m.


So, here is another gadget review, from the long traveller's perspective. I am finally laying my hands on the latest Zenfone Max. The Max line has been there for a few months but it is an upgraded version. The primary difference seems to be a more powerful Octa-Core processor replacing the Quad-Core one. So, here is a short review of the same.
Battery… or a Power Bank?
Yes, the battery is the biggest deal in this phone and also for the travellers. I often end up in situations where there my phone runs out of charge and I either cannot find a charging point or it is already occupied by someone else. The 5000 mAh battery here claims to last for 3 days. I have just had it for a day not so cannot say about 3 Days but so far it has shown almost no depletion in power level after several hours of regular usage. I do not know about the people who live in the cities but for a digital nomad this is one of the most important features. In fact, it is so powerful that one can charge other devices with it. That is why it even comes with an OTG cable like a power bank.
As mentioned before, it comes with the lightening fast Snapdragon 615 Octa-Core processor as well as 2GB RAM (One can also get 3GB RAM by paying a bit more). I am not really a gamer and for my regular internet surfing, image processing, and reading, it has not blinked at all. Also, the internal memory has been doubled to 32 GB. So, I can even carry films along with my MP3 and PDFs. One can add 64GB external memory but I guess it won't even be needed.
It has a 5.5 inch HD (1280 x 720) IPS display. Now, the screen-size preferences vary from person to person. I have been using a 4.5 inch phone and it is fine otherwise. But I just cannot watch media and it feels a bit too small for serious reading too. 5.5 inch practically replaces the tablet and makes life easier. There are phones with higher resolutions, but at INR 9999, it is as good as it gets.
It comes with 13MP rear camera and 5MP front camera. Can't complain as far as MPs are concerned because even my good old DSLR has only 12.5 MP. The camera seems excellent indoors. While in the outdoors, be careful when the sun is very bright (but one can always edit). Anyway, I will update this post with more pictures from the phone later on and will also do more with the video feature during my forthcoming travels. Keep an eye on my Instagram account for the same.
Well, I am not really an Android nerd. I don't care much about which candy or pastry it is till my job gets done. But for those who care, it comes with the latest Andoid Marshmellow and so there is no need to bother about updates for a while.
In short, the new Zenfone Max has done something that makes life easier for digital nomads and budget travellers. Now I am waiting to see how long the battery of their next version lasts (Make it a week).
