Whether you're starting to train a new puppy or need a replacement leash for your well-behaved dog a leash isn't just an accessory, it's necessary. Our four-legged friends need some help during training, and a leash is a great introductory step.
However, many well-behaved dogs or well-seasoned family members also need leashes when out for a walk.
We've gathered all the information to help you find the best leach for your furry friend. Leashes are much more than a simple nylon band that hooks onto a collar.
You have to provide a great exercise routine, and most areas require you leash your dog when you have them out in public. But, finding a great leash is difficult. You're looking for a safe, comfortable, and sturdy leash.
Unfortunately, there's no easy distinguishability between simple and complex leashes. Simple leashes aren't always better and complex leashes can become difficult to use. But, we've brought together everything we could find to help you decide what makes a great leash.
There are typically 2 types of leashes, either the standard option or a retractable leash. They both serve different purposes.
Standard leashes are everything you imagine when someone says "leash" because it's very plain. You can find standard leashes in a variety of lengths and thicknesses, but essentially, you're getting some form of a braided cord.
These leashes can span from 4 to 8 feet depending on how much you trust your pup. Some standard leashes are adjustable with a slide, loop, or removable clip.
A retractable leash is an available choice. However, there's some controversy around these leashes. Many dog experts recommend against retractable leashes. Although some trainers recommend using them to familiarize a pup with increased freedom, experts state that a fluctuation of leash length is unfair.
With retractable leashes, if your intent to use them to keep your dog close at sometimes and allowing them freedom at other times, you're sending your four-legged friend mixed signals. But, all controversy aside retractable leashes are still popular.
Many retractable leashes extend up to 26 feet which allows your pup a lot more freedom. But greater leash length is less control.
There are 3 types of material available, and it's pretty easy to decide which is best for you. They offer a different range of strength and durability. But, you also have to consider which materials are easiest to handle.
The leather is extremely durable, long-lasting, and very comfortable. However, leather leashes are also expensive and can require a bit of maintenance. The leather is also not resistant to chewing which makes it the last choice for dog lovers with puppies.
Nylon is perhaps the most popular leash material. It's usually braided, and although it doesn't feel as great as leather, it's not uncomfortable. Nylon is also very budget friendly and weather resistant. Nylon can take a large breed's tug without issue.
Finally, we visit the chain leash. If your dog is an avid chewer, a chain option is probably your best bet. Chains are durable, weather resistant, and hold up to time well. Unfortunately, there are drawbacks to chain leashes as well. They're typically heavy and uncomfortable to handle. Many people dislike chains because of their visual depiction as well.
Leashes come in a number of lengths, and the length you're comfortable with is a personal preference. But there's a general guide on choosing which lead length is right for you.
Short leads are best for training puppies, and for safety measures. If you know that children easily aggravate your dog, a short leash is best for parks. Even trustworthy dogs can use a short leash from time to time. Consider a 4-foot lead for high traffic areas.
Longer leads are great when your dog is curious but trustworthy. Many hound breeds appreciate long leashes as they can explore but you still retain control. Long leashes are also great for distance training.
The Mountain Climbing Rope Dog Leash is great for dogs of all sizes. It's lightweight enough for small breeds but can handle 1,000 pounds of pull. The rope construction makes it super durable, and the construction can handle large breeds like Saint Bernard. This leash is available in both 4 and 6 feet options and a wide array of colors.
The handle is extremely comfortable with extra padding. It also coils easily making it a breeze to transport and store. The cord is a little over half an inch thick which is thicker than most leads.
If you have a pup that isn't chewing anymore this leash is a great option. But the shorter lead makes us realize that this leash isn't great for all occasions. As the name states, it's meant for mountain climbing, but it's great for a variety of situations.
If you're looking for a leash that can handle a lot of pull but isn't a pain to handle, this is a great leash.
The premier feature is the simplicity of this standard leather leash. It's 6 feet long and 3/4 of an inch wide. However, it's important to note that leather's width doesn't speak for its thickness. Typically, leather leashes are much thinner because they lie flat.
This leash has cowhide leather which is tanned in a 2-step process through both chrome and vegetable tanning. The leather is genuine and offers the amazing feel in your hand. Unfortunately, this leash is only available at a 6-foot length. At the end of the lead is a snap hook that connects to the collar.
With double stitching the leash is quite durable, it's also treated to be water-resistant. The Leatherberg leather dog training leash is great for a medium length leash, but it comes at a slightly higher price than most other options.
This leash is a great option for training your dog to behave when on a leash. However, this leash is a bit of a contradiction here. Because the leash is meant for training puppies, you'd expect it to be both shorter and made of a different material.
Overall, this is a great medium length, leather leash which works well for most dog owners. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to fit it's intended use of puppy training.
This dog leash is made with medium to large sized breeds in mind. If your furry friend needs a bit of guidance from time to time this leash has 2 handles, with the first handle using only a 1-foot lead.
The first handle positioned so closely to the clip allows for increased control in high traffic areas. The second handle is at the end of the 6-foot lead which means you can easily let your dog explore while retaining control. The dual handle system makes this leash a prime choice for training.
The handles are both padded and incredibly comfortable. The cord is about an inch thick which is much thicker than other options available. The nylon material holds up to pulling well even for large pups.
Nothing! There's not a thing to dislike here, although we could do with a slightly longer length option this is a nearly perfect dog leash.
This dog leash comes out with an unexpected bonus feature with the dual padded handles. As a standard leash, you often find yourself missing out on the instant retraction abilities that are useful when you enter a high-traffic area.
Overall, it's a versatile dog leash that has a great price and sturdy hardware. There's not much more than you could expect from a standard dog leash. It works well with medium and large breeds as it handles a substantial amount of pull pressure.
Inspired by the traditional Bungee cord, comes the Bungee dog leash by OutdoorMaster. That's right, the same cord that people use to jump off bridges and survive can now give your dog the illusion of freedom.
The Bungee dog leash by OutdoorMaster appeals to many people who are looking for something other than the traditional training methods. The bungee cord leash is a little over 3 feet but stretches to a full 4 feet with little effort. This leash is about as close as you can come to a retractable with a standard leash.
The design caters to larger breeds such as a Golden Retriever and the Mastiff family. Their weight allows the bungee effect to have full-range with little effort. Unfortunately, this isn't a great option for smaller breeds.
Overall this is a great leash for training. The bungee cord takes some of the pulling pressure off your wrist, elbow, and shoulder but doesn't let them get far. The Bungee dog leash by OutdoorMaster uses a unique design to cater to a niche in the pet world.
If you love your pup but know that training is a necessary evil, the Bungee dog leash by OutdoorMaster is worth your time. The short lead helps them learn to stay close to you and is great for heavy trafficked areas.
The padded glove-handle is the prime selling point for the EzyDog Handy Dog Lease. Many runners, joggers, and bike riders prefer to use this leash while exercising. There's a small strip of bungee in the lead, so the shock of an occasional pull never makes its way back to you.
The EzyDog Handy Dog Lease is also adjustable, which is a first on this list. Adjustable straps are hard to come by without a drastic reduction in quality. However, this heavy-duty nylon strap easily extends from 3 feet to 4 feet. It's important to mention also that the glove fits well on either the right or left hand, regardless of size.
Many people with arthritis find that this leash works best for them because they don't have to keep a tightened grip on a thin leash for long periods of time.
If you can afford this leash, it's a great option. The EzyDog Handy Dog Lease isn't for training, but instead, it's ideal for small to medium breeds that exercise in high traffic areas. The leash itself is lightweight, and the glove-handle flexes easily.
There's not much more you can ask for from a glove-handled standard leash. The handle easily fits both your right and left hand. It fits most hand sizes but is not ideal for small hands.
The clear winner here is the Dog Leash by Primal Pet Gear because of its functionality and price. The Dog Leash by Primal Pet Gear has an outstanding feature for a standard leash. It uses 2 padded handles to offer 2 different lead lengths. This means that you can train openly and minimize the lead whenever you're near a lot of people.
The hardware is also an exception for a nylon leash. You expect great hardware on leather leashes, but nylon leashes are known for being cheap. The lobster clasp on this one doesn't budge during pulling.
Overall, the Dog Leash by Primal Pet Gear is useful, functional and comfortable. Not to mention, it's available at a great price. The only downside is that it's only available in the 6-foot option.

Q: How to set default values after Register and Simple Membership vs Other #MVC I'm working with a multiplayer environment, Coding using the MVC4 framework, C#
I don't understand how to get access to the register button in the account controller, I want to have a method which sets default values once a user clicks register. Do I make another method to set these values or where do I edit the Register method?
And also, I'm using the simple membership set up, are they any other MVC specific login methods to use, and how will I be able to pick up which user is logged in? Cause I am working with a multiplayer environment.
Thanks In Advance...

A: If you've created an internet application in MVC your account controller will contain a register method.
if not add
**
 [HttpGet] public ActionResult Register()  {
     if (!WebSecurity.Initialized)
     {
         WebSecurity.InitializeDatabaseConnection("UserDb", "Users", "Id", "UserName", autoCreateTables: true);
     }
    return View();

}
 [HttpPost] public ActionResult Register(FormCollection form) {
>     WebSecurity.CreateUserAndAccount(form["username"], form["password"], new{DisplayName = form["displayname"],
> Country=form["country"]});
>     Response.Redirect("~/account/login");
>     return View(); }

**

You can set default values here, if your storing data to a db then you will need to connect to your context and add data to the various fields in the tables your setting data for.
OR
you can create a class/ method and call it up to initialize values.
I recommend using Asp.Net Identities to Simple Membership

Mary Poppins (1964) Review
Posted on 18 Sep 2021 by Great Books Guy
Mary Poppins (1964) Director: Robert Stevenson
"Oh it's a jolly 'oliday with Mary…"
Despite Dick Van Dyke's amusingly rotten cockney accent, Mary Poppins is a delightful, charming Hollywood musical that stands in stark contrast to the brooding modern cynicism that pervades our present-day Hollywood milieu. The script for the film is an amalgamation of the Mary Poppins book series by P.L. Travers (published between 1934-1988). Walt Disney's daughters initially fell in love with the books and made their father promise to make a movie based on the stories. After much negotiation with P.L. Travers, the film was finally made and it became a critical and box office success. The classic music for the film was completed by the Sherman Brothers (of similar fame with Chittty Chitty Bang Bang and The Jungle Book among many other movies). Walt Disney used the proceeds from Mary Poppins to finance the construction of Disney World in Florida. Of course, Disney introduced a sequel in 2018 entitled Mary Poppins Returns. I have not seen it but needless to say my expectations could not be lower.
The beauty of Mary Poppins flows from its blend of live-action and cartoon animation, as well as its simple Disney studio backlot sets intended to represent Edwardian London of yesteryear. The year is 1910 and the Banks family, George and Winifred Banks, are having trouble maintaining a nanny for their unruly children. George advertises for a new "stern" nanny, while his children write-up an advert for a "kinder, perfect" nanny, but he angrily rips it up and casts it into the fireplace. Meanwhile we learn that Winifred is a suffragette and George takes away the children's kite.
The next day, a long line of dour nannies is waiting to interview for the job when a sudden gust of wind blows them away and a confident but kind woman (in contrast othe books which portray a strict and uncompromising woman) who descends from the sky with an umbrella: Mary Poppins (played by Julie Andrews after a successful stage career and was passed over for the role of Eliza Doolittle played by Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady. She was initially three months pregnant when approached for the role so production was delayed). She presents the torn-up advertisement and awards herself the job. She takes the children on all manner of magical adventures -tidying their nursery ("Spoonful of Sugar"), strolling through the park with Mary Poppins's old friend Bert (played by Dick Van Dyke) who is a street painter and musician ("Jolly Holiday"). His paintings come to life and they ride carousel horses to a race track ("Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious"), a tea party on the ceiling with Bert's Uncle Albert who has laughed his way off the ground ("I Love to Laugh"), at Mr. Banks's workplace -a bank- which goes haywire inadvertently causing a run on the bank as well as a visit to an old lady in the park ("Feed The Birds"). Dick Van Dyke also plays the elder partner at the bank in Mary Poppins -in the credits sequence his name is initially shown as an anagram "Navckid Keyd." They dance on the rooftops with the chimney sweeps "Chim Chim Cheree" and "Step in Time."
In the end, Mr. Banks is fired from his job but he suddenly finds joy in echoing the refrain "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" along with a rekindled desire to spend time with his children while they are young. The next day the wind changes and Mary Poppins departs. Mr. Banks takes his children to the park with their newly repaired kite ("Let's Go Fly a Kite") and he is given back his job at the bank.

Presidents and Languages
February 15, 2010 12:00:20
Many Americans know that Thomas Jefferson spoke five languages and could write in several more, but did you know that:
- James Garfield, the 20th president, was not only multilingual, he was also ambidextrous. He could write in Greek with one hand while writing in Latin with the other.
- Dutch-speaker Martin Van Buren was the first president who was born a U.S. citizen (his predecessors had been born British citizens). He is the only president who spoke English as a second language and he spoke Dutch at home with his wife.
- First Lady Elizabeth Monroe spoke only French at home.
- Herbert Hoover and his wife, Lou, collaborated on the first English translation of a 16th century work on mining and used both the old Latin and German translated versions as sources. The multilingual Hoovers were said to speak Mandarin in the White House when they didn't want to be overheard.
When Jackie Kennedy campaigned for her husband's re-election to the Senate in 1958, she gave speeches in Italian, French, and Spanish to. For JFK's presidential run in 1960, she recorded a campaign spot for her husband in Spanish. You can see the campaign spot here: www.youtube.com/watch

A few months ago we wrote about multilingual occupants of the White House. In honor of Presidents' Day, we're updating that post with new information. Do you know who was the first candidate to campaign in Spanish?
Dutch-speaker Martin van Buren was the first president to be born as a U. S. citizen (all previous presidents had been born British citizens). He is the only president to speak English as a second language, and he and his wife spoke Dutch at home.
FDR was the first president to give a radio address in a foreign language. In a broadcast in French, he appealed to the citizens of France to oppose the Nazi occupation. He also spoke German and wrote letters to his mother in German when he was a boy.
First lady Elizabeth Monroe spoke only French at home.
James Garfield was not only multilingual, he was also ambidextrous. He could write in Greek with one hand while writing in Latin with the other. He was the first presidential candidate to campaign in Spanish.
Herbert Hoover and his wife, Lou, spoke Mandarin in the White House when they didn't want their conversations to be overheard.

Nashvillians: UNITE and vote AGAINST/AGAINST on Thursday 1/22
Proposed amendment number one reads:
"English is the official language of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County, Tennessee. Official actions which bind or commit the government shall be taken only in the English language, and all official government communications and publications shall be in English. No person shall have a right to government services in any other language. All meetings of the Metro Council, Boards and Commissions of the Metropolitan Government shall be conducted in English. The Metro Council may make specific exceptions to protect public health and safety. Nothing in this measure shall be interpreted to conflict with federal or state law."
The proposed charter amendment is...
Bad for business
Nashville boasts 76 companies with some level of foreign investment. Those companies employ 7,660 Nashvillians and generated more than $19.6 billion in sales last year. At a time when Nashville is enjoying tremendous success recruiting international companies, the English-only effort sends a negative and inaccurate message to the world.
Japanese investment alone in Tennessee exceeded $9.4 billion in 2004, creating 40,000 jobs. Business recruiting efforts for Japanese companies and others often require our economic development officers to communicate in a different language. That would become illegal.
Bad for Nashville's tourism industry
Tourism is a $4 billion industry in Nashville. The hospitality industry ranks second behind healthcare in terms of size and contribution to Nashville's economy. Every visitor to Nashville not only spends money here, but they pay taxes. In fact, last year, sales tax revenue from visitor spending contributed $78 million to Nashville's tax coffers.
Tourism is important to Nashville, and international visitors comprise one of the fastest growing tourist segments. Last year, Nashville hosted more than 300,000 visitors from foreign countries, who averaged three days in Nashville and spent more than $150/day. As a result, those visitors contributed more than $135 million to Nashville's economy, providing jobs for our citizens and contributing taxes to Metro's revenue stream that otherwise would have to come from our property and sales taxes.
A waste of taxpayer dollars
If passed, this amendment will apply to a handful of actual services, but will require thousands of dollars in legal fees to defend it against challenges that it is unconstitutional.
Iit would be illegal for the Mayor's Office of Economic and Community Development to communicate in German to representatives of Volkswagen.
English is already the "official and legal language" of Tennessee, and Nashville. Our city does not need to change its own constitution for that to be true.
Immigrants know better than anyone the importance of learning English. They also know that the faster they learn English, the faster they can assimilate into the society. If the concern is that immigrants are not learning English quickly enough, we should create more opportunities for them to learn.
Inconsistent with our values as a city
Nashville has been named the "Friendliest City in America" because we extend ourselves to our guests. This amendment does not reflect who we are.

How does the call of diversity, make you nervous?
We hate change and embracing diversity demands change.
It is easier to keep an arm's length from those that are different. I don't need to learn a new language, experience another culture, or expand my group of friends. No need to spend time adjusting my preconceived notions that may have been slightly askew.
The effect goes beyond trying a new restaurant.
As the foundations of apartheid in South Africa began to crumble, the white minorities in authority, were to realize a loss of power, influence, and wealth. As much as the progressives wanted the grievous practice to end, there was apprehension about how diversity would be embraced across the country. In a single day, the black majority embraced diversity with the white minority, as equal.
The Palestinian father's stomach is knotted as his youngest daughter, with fingers interlaced, pulls her Israeli boyfriend up the front walkway.
As the father in Fiddler On The Roof, Tevye, struggles with changing times and reminisces about the importance of tradition. Diversity pushes its way into the family by the love interest of each daughter. After all, this is how he has seen the world all his life, and now things are changing.
There will always be some new frontier that society will push to embrace as the next level of diversity. Your sure footing will be loosened by the interconnected world coming to your doorstep. Constant change is here to stay.
Going Further: How has a call to diversity arrived on your doorstep? How have you struggled to embrace diversity? What has been one benefit to diversity?

Maha Morcha for removal of flag installed at CCB
Mar 8, 2021 by Uday Mar 8, 2021
The Maharashtra Ekikaran Samiti (MES) and the Shiv Sena have decided to hold a Maha Morcha protest rally from Dharmveer Sambhaji Maharaj Circle at 11 AM towards the Belagavi City Corporation (BCC) on Monday demanding the immediate removal of a Kannada flag and flagpole erected there. Besides activists from various pro-Maharashtra outfits from the Belagavi region, a large number of Shiv Sena activists from Kolhapur are expected to take part in the protest, but the District administration has banned their entry.
Belagavi district collector M G Hiremath had requested to MES leaders to cancel their Maha-Morcha with considering likely arising law and order situation in the district.
The MES on numerous occasions have met the DC and requested him to remove the Kannada flag from but their request was neglected and their demand for installation of the Saffron flag was also not heard.
Traffic would be diverted once the morcha starts and heavy police deployment is visible en-route from Globe circle.

Henry lost his second tooth today. We've decided that the tooth fairy likes Fry Lodge teeth to be deposited in a martini glass on the mantle, where she leaves $3.00 in exchange for the tooth. When Kristine and I discussed what to do with the tooth after the tooth fairy's visit, we somehow decided that the best thing to do was to throw it out the window. To get rid of the evidence, I suppose. It's strange to think that two of our child's teeth are rolling around the sidewalk four floors below. Do you ever wonder what miniscule things you are stepping on as you walk down the sidewalk?
You threw it out the window?!? Such New Yorkers. Just imagine the poor confused soul who got hit in the face with a tooth on his evening walk.

Australian tv program 'The Project' was forced to apologise after comedian Kitty Flanagan' Santa spoiler.
Santa SPOILER ALERT: Kitty stated twice that Santa doesn't exist, eventually telling the audience that maybe they should be covering their kids' ears.
Many parents immediately took to social media to vent their rage at Kitty's revelations.
The Project issued apologies over Facebook and Twitter in which they reassured viewers that Santa is real, and promised a live cross to the North Pole later on to prove it.
Just for the record, Santa is very real.

Estratão de Lâmpsaco (do grego antigo, Στράτων, Straton; 340-268 a.C.) foi um filósofo grego da escola peripatética, natural da polis de Lâmpsaco, na Ásia Menor. Sucedeu Teofrasto à frente do Liceu, academia fundada por Aristóteles; assumiu o cargo de diretor no ano 287 a.C.. Já seu predecessor, demonstrou extremo gênio separando completamente o reino vegetal do reino animal e, sobretudo, vendo que o fogo não era um elemento em si mesmo, mas uma reação de outros elementos que ardiam. O fogo não podia existir sem o que ele chamou de um substrato. Mas Estratão foi além nos métodos e recorreu à experimentação pura. Foi, de fato, um defensor do mecanicismo na natureza, negando a existência de qualquer divindade transcendental, algo verdadeiramente revolucionário naqueles tempos.

Estratão ampliou e desenvolveu o pensamento de Aristóteles acerca do movimento num livro muito influente chamada Sobre o movimento.

Q: How does code injection affect stack in this case So I was attempting to inject code in attack lab assignment and for phase 1 all that was required was to give any input to fill the character array buffer exactly and then following it the address of the "touch1" function.
For example, if the buffer had a size of 0x10 bytes (not the one I got), then I would write something like:
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 (padding)
<< insert address of touch1
This works as expected, but the problem is in phase 2, where I have to inject a code to move cookie to %rdi and then touch2, I don't know why an injection like this works:
<code injection to move cookie to %rdi> /* 8 bytes */
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 (padding)
<< insert address of touch2
This code has 8 extra bytes then touch1, but the buffer size is still the same, and this confuses me because touch2's address replaces things even higher up in the stack than the return address.
It appears that the only way I can understand this is if returning from a function increments the stack pointer by 8 bytes so after running the injected code, the rip reaches the address of touch2, but then wouldn't touch2's address replace some other possibly important code and could cause undefined behaviour?

"Why I Go to SXSW" by Aaron Collins of a. tom collins
By Colorado Public Radio Staff
I could regale you with stories of an A&R guy from Sire records telling me he loved a Machine Gun Blues set, and me responding by immediately vomiting on his shoes; Josh Terry jumping off a balcony into the shallow end of a pool, breaking his ankle, but partying so hard he did not know he had injured himself until arriving back in Denver; having an a-hole pick a fight with me during a Photo Atlas show and half the musicians in Denver jumping on him, then dispersing so fast that only he got kicked out of the show as the rest of us raged into the night; or Ben Desoto trying to decide whether or not to take Peaches' beard for a souvenir after finding himself at an after party in her pent house.
Then there was the time my friend Bob Ashby stole a cake at a private Dinosaur Jr./ Grizzly Bear show, and put it under a dumpster. After the show, Daniel Rossen from Grizzly Bear walked around the VIP section asking if anyone had seen the cake he was planning on giving Jay Mascis for his birthday, and Bob told him he had a cake that he would give him. He ran into the alley retrieved it from under the dumpster, and handed it to Rossen. He was too far gone to realize the two cakes were the same, despite having Mascis' name on it, and had to be told the true story in the morning.
However, as I was reminiscing, I couldn't help but wonder why I keep making the pilgrimage back to Austin every spring. My conclusion is that it is because it validates our passion for music, a thing we love so much we have turned it into a lifestyle.
No one who plays music thinks they are going to get discovered at SXSW anymore, and if they do, they are an idiot. But we still pile into smelly cargo vans, with gear in tow, blowing money on gas and booze on a sixteen hour drive, to play a thirty minute set at noon in the men's bathroom at a Conoco (I have actually seen that). There is no money or fame. We do it simply for the love of it.
There are better festivals… even better festivals in Austin. But where else can you see the Dirty Few by day and The Melvins by night, or skip out early on a Turbo Negro set to catch Bad Weather California (may they rest in peace) down the street? I find that I see way more local Colorado music at South By than national acts. It just always works out that way. If I wanted to see critically acclaimed bands I would go to Psych Fest, or Bonnaroo, but if you want to watch people play their hearts out for no reason other than it is simply what they do—to watch a group of humans perform their passion in front of you, just to be heard—well, that's why I go to SXSW.
Aaron Collins is the singer/pianist for the Denver based five-piece A. Tom Collins. Denver alt-weekly Westword called him 'one of the city's best frontmen.'

Petőfi '73 è un film del 1973 scritto e diretto da Ferenc Kardos.

Trama
Un gruppo di liceali ungheresi mette in scena alcuni episodi della vita del poeta Sándor Petőfi in occasione del 150º anniversario della morte. La rappresentazione, una sorta di happening in abiti moderni, si intreccia con la vita personale dei ragazzi, dando spunto a una dialettica che porta allo scoperto temi politici del passato e del presente.

Produzione

LJ International (JADE) Provides Third-Quarter Financial Guidance, Previews ENZO Expansion Strategy
Oct. 13, 2009 (Business Wire) — LJ International Inc. (LJI) (NASDAQ: JADE), a leading jewelry manufacturer and retailer, today announced revenue and earnings guidance for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009, as well as previewing its retail expansion plans over the next two years.
LJI Provides Positive Revenue and Earnings Guidance for Third Quarter 2009
The Company today announced that it expects revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009 to total over $25.0 million, approximately 22% below revenues of $32.9 million reported in the third quarter of 2008. As expected, the 40% decrease in wholesale revenues was due to the ongoing recession in the U.S. The decline is expected to be offset by an approximate 25% increase in revenues from the Company's ENZO division to over $11 million.
Accordingly, the Company expects to achieve earnings in the 2009 third quarter of over $1.0 million, or between $0.03-$0.05 per fully diluted share, compared to earnings of approximately $0.4 million, or $0.02 per share in the third quarter of 2008.
The Company noted that its third-quarter 2009 results will reflect two major trends in the jewelry market and in LJI's execution of its growth strategy. One of these trends, the sharp decline in consumer spending on luxury items, particularly in the U.S., produced commensurate year-over-year declines in LJI's wholesale revenues, which have historically been generated from North America. The other trend is the accelerating growth of ENZO's retail business in China, which is expected to be reflected by year-over-year revenue gains of approximately 25%. In the coming quarters, the Company expects its retail growth to increase as wholesale revenues stabilize while maintaining profitability.
Company Expects to Open 100 New ENZO Retail Stores as Part of Expansion Strategy
The Company also provided a preview of its updated ENZO expansion plans, which will be discussed in more detail in upcoming investor communications and in a special letter to shareholders also being released today. It reaffirmed its commitment to a global growth strategy based on the same "two-pronged" approach that has guided the Company in recent years: ENZO's retail expansion across China while maintaining its global wholesale market position.
As part of this expansion plan, the Company today announced that it expects to open approximately 100 new ENZO stores across China by the end of 2011. ENZO, as a result, would likely represent the largest contributor of both revenues and earnings to the Company. LJI's historically strong cash position, minimal long-term debt and growing fundamentals should provide the Company with the ability to access the additional necessary financing to meet this goal.
Yu Chuan Yih, LJ International's Chairman and CEO, noted that, "Although the company's wholesale business has slimmed-down but remains healthy as a result of the global downturn in jewelry sales, it is uniquely positioned to continue to maintain and capture additional market share from its wholesale competitors, some of which have not been so fortunate to survive the recent economic turmoil. While our wholesale operations are profitable and positioned to gain market share following a recovery in the U.S. economy, there is no question that our diversification strategy away from the U.S. markets and into China's growing retail business is already beginning to contribute to our revenue and earnings growth."
ENZO's Same-Store-Sales Growth Being Driven by Three Key Performance Indictors
The Company noted that its ENZO retail division is continuing to expand at a healthy pace despite the global recession due to its focus on the growing Chinese market. China's strong economic growth has resumed after a lull — though not a recession — in early 2009. LJI's ENZO division, with 92 stores now in operation, achieved a year-over-year revenue gain of nearly 25% primarily due to improvements and relocations of a number of underperforming stores. For the first nine months of 2009, average sales per square foot at ENZO increased year-over-year by over 50%, to over $850 per square foot.
However, the growth rate across its 39 stores that have been open for at least 20 consecutive months, which constitute the Company's comps base — is achieving same-store sales growth rates of over 30% and sales of nearly $1,300 per square foot. The Company noted these growth rates were primarily due to three key performance measures: increased store traffic, higher average unit prices and ongoing improvements in its inventory mix.
Mr. Yih continued, "Productivity improvements at our ENZO stores have reached the point where an average new store will likely achieve profitability within two to three months following its opening date. Based on current trends, we expect our new ENZO stores to contribute positively to our overall financial results."
Company to Present Corporate Expansion Strategy at Roth China Conference on October 13
LJI will be presenting further details on its expansion plans and other aspects of its business outlook at the 2009 Roth Capital Partners China Conference, October 12 through 14 at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach, Miami Beach, Florida.

Ellie seems to take everything with a grain of salt and it was no different when the barn was doing some construction on the back walls of the stalls this past Saturday.
She spent her day chillin' with the Skye Valley crew while her stall was being refurbished. Always the spectator, she'd grab a mouthful of hay and slowly chew over the partition while watching the show.
I'd been feeling a little soreness in my right shoulder, which I attributed to funny sleeping, until I picked up my laptop bag to go to Montana. Ouch.
While I don't know exactly what is going on my guess would be a pinched nerve in the rotator cuff area and I spent most of the weekend with an icepack strapped to my upper arm trying to be relatively immobile.
Of course it is hard to let your primary arm live entirely without duty when you need it to help with simple tasks.... like pulling up your pants.
I've reached out via email to my Doctor in hopes that she'll refer me to someone who can give me a shot of the good stuff or just cut it off (seriously- I've had a few "sever the infected arm" Walking Dead moments recently).
In the meantime I'll just remember fondly to a time when I could hug my horse without wanting to punch someone. I have a mean left hook.
Kelly had me lesson on Thursday in a short shanked rubber Pelham with a converter (I don't have enough dexterity to manage two reins) and honestly? I liked how she went in it. Ellie can get a little heavy in her front while I try to engage her hind and whether it was the early morning chill or the new bit she seemed to carry herself in a more uphill and balanced way.
I tried it again today, Sunday funday, but since I came prepared with no plan we tootled around without getting that same focused ride.
I'd like to use it again in my lessons this week and continue to evaluate.
I know this group has a penchant for bits so I'm curious to hear examples of Pelham use and how it has aided your rides.
I think Ellie likes the extra bling. She's so vain.
Do you know what time it is Mom?
And I managed the gym tonight! Tortilla Soup is on the stove for dinner. Rockin' my Thursday schedule!
I've been in Vegas for the past two days on a quick work trip to the Platform Trade Show and totally forgot to take pictures save for this Lobster Truck lunch stop. Well worth the long line for some fresh air and sunshine!
Warning: Graphic photos and content ahead.
11:45am: Shortly after we arrive at Shiloh West I notice Paul throwing loose bits of hay into Ellie's stall. We catch up with a couple friend of ours for a few minutes and as I start to get Ellie ready to go Paul remarks that the chlorine in the pool yesterday must have really dried out his skin- he was feeling itchy.
12:30pm: I noticed a little redness in his face and he wandered off to the bathroom to investigate.
2pm: Fast forward to our arrival home- where he remarks that he thinks he might have been allergic to something at the barn and has a few red bumps on his face.
3pm: I ignore him, classic hypochondriac symptoms, and we go furniture shopping at West Elm.
9:45pm: Getting ready for bed Paul mentions that this rash has moved down his arms and thighs. I suggest poison ivy.
10pm-12am: I wake up on random occasions to see Paul's reading light and/or get cat cuddles.
12:30am: Paul wakes me up to tell me the reaction is getting worse, he's going to a Walgreens to get Benadryl, and that he was going to sleep on the couch.
1:17am: I hear a car door slam, but no garage door, so get up to investigate. See Paul return home through the front door and he stays downstairs to sleep on the couch.
1:20am: "Thank God," I think selfishly. I have to be up at 3am for a flight.
1:25-3am: Sleep, but have dreams related to being responsible, which must mean I was hoping to get the rash as well to get out of travel. Feel slightly itchy.
Jesus. This always happens. Inevitably I say "no biggie" and Paul ends up with a staph infection or something, Wish I was kidding.
Topical and oral steroids and he'll be back to normal in 2-3 weeks. The Doc said it was an allergic reaction to some combination of airborne things- a combination that may or may not ever occur again.
So. That happened. And now Paul may never go to the barn again. Frankly- I wouldn't blame him!
Why Paul decided to join me on my two barn pilgrimage on President's Day is beyond me. He hasn't seen Wilbur since he's come home so it was great to see them catch up. Now Paul knows where Wilbur lives so I can send him on after work missions out to Brown Ranch.
Ellie seemed to recognize her audience and strutted her stuff! Also love the weight on her- the "gastro stuff" seems to be helping!
Tracy from Fly on Over did a great post detailing a "day in her life" and then did something awesome by turning it into a blog hop! Because really? Who doesn't want a sneak peek into how others fit everything in!
I chose to chronicle today's events because this schedule will soon become the norm every Tuesday and Thursday. Enjoy!
6:22: Arrive at the barn and sit in front of the barn bathroom space heater mustering up the energy to get Ellie out. While I'm in there one of the guys turns on the arena lights and begins dragging.
6:55: Ellie is tacked up and I am ON! Emma arrives just in time for my 7am lesson. Ellie is in forward form again and we have fun trotting and cantering around (minus a few bucks). Love them spurs!
7:30: Jump off, get Ellie put away, and tack cleaned.
8: Thank Emma- what a great way to start the day! Jump in my car and alternate between analyzing my lesson, listening to talk radio, and being stressed about work.
8:35: Arrive at the office, switch out tall boots for Toms in the parking lot, and decide that breeches instead of jeans would suffice for work attire.
Spend a moment feeling sad about the clutter in my trunk and vowing to wash saddle pads.
9-12:10: Meetings. Unexpected meetings, meetings that run long, meetings that I am running late to. All the meetings.
12:15: Realize that I am a bit jittery from all my coffee. Coworker and I divide and conquer- I go to Chipotle and she makes a Target run (*cough* Valentine's stuff *cough*). My youngest sister confirmed on the phone tonight that I am basically the worst person ever.
On my way out the door I run into our CEO. As we chat about the biz for a moment, she gives me a once over, and I immediately rethink my decision to wear the breeches. Too late!
12:33: Back at my desk to tackle all of the stuff! One of those days where there is so much to do yet nothing seems to get done!
1:30: Take a moment to visit with my "cube dog" Zoe!
2:15: A friend stops by my desk to tell me she's horse shopping. We huddle to look at videos and discuss.
4:30: Some visitors poke their heads in. They must be getting rid of samples because I end up with some loot! Is it free? I'll take it!
I also took the opportunity to open a package that arrived while I was out of town- some new show attire...now I have to do a little showing right?
5:35: I look up from my work pile and realize that I'm going to be late to the gym if I don't skedaddle!
5:40-6:20: Race towards home (and by race I mean slowly crawl), swearing intermittently at other drivers while mumbling to myself about work.
6:22: Run inside, change, leave for gym.
6:37: Cannot. find. a. place. to. park. Late for class. Feeling equal parts annoyed and tired. Decide to go to the grocery (originally planned for after gym) to pick up salad, blue cheese crumbles, and pears.
7: Pull into home (again), leave everything in the car, and go for a walk. I just wanted to get moving! Tomorrow is a new day and I will go to the gym! It's been so hard to go on the random days that I've been home. MUST get back to schedule!
7:30-9: Do catbox, put away new things, wrap Valentine's gift, start blog, fix salads, prep for tomorrow.
9-9:30: Paul gets home from swimming, we start dinner, and I insist on watching an old episode of Top Chef.
9:45: In bed rereading "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"
10: Hit publish on this blog and lights out! That's a wrap on this day!
I stepped off the plane today into drop-dead gorgeous California weather. I don't know if it was the chill in Bozeman or the stale airport air that made the weather seem so extraordinary, but it was that perfect temperature for breeches and a tee shirt.
Straight from the airport to a prescheduled lesson on Ellie- Emma taught me today in our covered outdoor ring (the big outdoor is still too muddy from the weekends rain).
When Emma came out I relayed that in the, about 4, times I've ridden Ellie since the first of the year we've 1. stuck with our tried and true walk trot exercise, 2. the head tossing has gone away, 3. she is like molasses and without constant, nagging leg she peters out step after step.
And then I remind her again that I've only ridden four times in the past month and a half.
Now Emma has a British accent. So it's pretty hilarious that after I finish my diatribe she looks at Ellie and says in British baby talk- "Ellie- you're a liar. Stop lying to your Mum." Apparently they do not have the "slow as molasses" problem in their working relationship.
With that we get to work and planned to add in some trot to canter short transitions in the same vein as our walk to trot transitions. And true to form I'm huffing and puffing away trying to keep Ellie going forward.
Bless Emma's heart- she stops me and takes my spurs, which had been resting low on my boot to avoid accidental, leg fatigue poking and adjusts them up. "Give her a good poke and make her carry herself," she says.
Sure enough, that inch adjustment was just what I needed to get her engaged. So off we went- performing leg yields, circles, and canter transitions.
Additionally we worked on taking more of a feel of her mouth and getting her to engage the back end while staying soft in the front.
A productive lesson on a much more forward horse.
Just a quick spin through Montana!
Apparently this is the Bozeman version of an economy car!
Roost- awesome lunch of, what else?, fried chicken and sweet tea!
If I lived by a Murdoch's I would never shop anywhere else!
Would not be complete without a chick sighting!
Despite a rainy weekend I was glad get out and see Wilbur embracing the "muddy" life!
I caught Ellie mid bite and think she looks a bit mulish right here.
In lieu of attempting any original content I wanted to share out the well written post, The Ammy Manifesto, by Sprinkler Bandit.
I'm stuck in that annoying place between being not quite sick enough to justify staying home from work, but just sick enough that everything requires that extra bit of effort.
Paul is coming home with Thai food and we're going to catch up on episodes of The Walking Dead. I did have a chance to stop out, enjoy breathing some fresh air, and snuggle with the Elle.
And a pair Knix Wear Undies, my AETA treat.
Spring is always a challenging show- the weather is terrible, flights are brutal, attendance is limited (Paul asked who in the world would be there on Superbowl Sunday. The answer? No one).
1. Retail partners. I love getting the face to face time with our accounts. I don't often get the show the line so I'm always eager for walk ins- it's not hard to be passionate about the English biz. Most of the team spent the Superbowl having dinner at the Melting Pot while entertaining clients. I was busy (between Katy Perry and fondue) showing an account from the CLE area photos that my Dad had texted of the snow covered house and apologizing for living in sunny CA.
2. Friends (Old and New). The English team are some of the hardest working gals I know! I love spending time with them and am glad to have them as friends!
I also had the chance to connect with some new friends at dinner on Saturday night! Amanda from The $900 Facebook Pony was at the show as well and coordinated a meetup that included Alli from Pony'Tude, Jenn from Stories from the Saddle, and Pam the owner of Mango Bay. A big thanks to Alli and Jenn for taking the time to drive over from their various parts of Pennsylvania! Horse people are the best kind of people and it's truly amazing to be able to meet folks from all over the country that share the common passion of horses and writing.
3. WaWa. The name alone is amazing but I could also live on the Tastykake Krimpets.
This Epic jacket on the plane row in front of me. Sir- please do not smack me with your fringe.
WaWa on a Monday morning- nothing better.
Yes please. One of each!
Dinner with these awesome gals! Alli, Amanda, Jenn, and Pam!
I might be a bit biased but our booth looks good!
Friends from the team looking stylin. Minus the hat.
Busy booth was the theme of the weekend!
Lots of GREAT new product for Fall '15!
