David S. Law, LAPA Fellow; Washington University in St. Louis
The Structure of Global Constitutionalism
301 Marx Hall
Download paper - password required
Please join us for a LAPA Seminar with David S. Law, Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis. His commentator is Robert O. Keohane, Professor of International Affairs in the Woodrow Wilson School.
LAPA's seminar format assumes that seminar participants have familiarized themselves with the paper in advance. The commentator opens the session by summarizing the main themes in the paper and presenting some topics for discussion. The author then has the right of first response before we open to the floor for questions. The seminar will end with a brief reception, giving everyone a chance to mingle and meet.
From Professor Law: "What is global constitutionalism, and what can be said about its structure? The amount of supranational law that serves at least vaguely constitutional functions has increased in recent decades, and there are an increasing number of constitutional similarities from country to country -- just as there remain stubborn and deep-seated differences. Meanwhile, potential mechanisms for generating some form of transnational constitutional - the UN, the EU, transnational judicial networks – are each the subject of its own burgeoning literature and continue to multiply in number and scope. Any effort to integrate these phenomena into a single analytical framework faces both conceptual and empirical challenges. The overall empirical question is whether there exists some underlying structure or pattern to the various constitutional differences and similarities that exist across countries. The answer to that question, however, cannot be formulated without a conceptual vocabulary that does not yet exist. Confusion surrounds both the definition of key concepts such as "constitution," "constitutionalism," and "global constitutionalism," and the appropriate categorization of the increasing number of supranational processes, mechanisms, and institutions with constitutional ramifications at the national level.
On the conceptual front, this paper proposes a typology of both supranational constitutional mechanisms and the building blocks of national constitutional systems. On the empirical front, this paper presents evidence of a relatively pervasive historical-genealogical-ideological schism that divides both constitutions and constitutional courts into one of two global blocs or families. The structure of global constitutionalism, it is argued, can be described by mapping the relationship between the generic and polarizing elements of constitutional drafting and constitutional adjudication."
David S. Law is Professor of Law and Professor of Political Science at Washington University in St. Louis.

Nominal Roll Update
The story begins with the name on a list of members in the Vancouver based artillery unit. From there it weaves its way through the battlefields of World War I, wounding in an explosion and convalescing in the Canadian army medical system. There is the romance with the girl left behind, marriage, a family and employment with the Government of Canada. As a member of the family wrote, "John & Winnie met while working at Spencer's Department store in Vancouver BC in their early teens. They married in Vancouver in 1917. They owned a home in Vancouver which they traded with John's brother Michael's ranch in the Okanagan's near Vernon, BC. John found he didn't know much about ranching and they moved back to Vancouver and he took courses at the University of British Columbia. There he was approached and received training as an immigration officer and he and his family moved to England. He later became the Ambassador to Scotland and the family enjoyed their life in the United Kingdom. They even moved to Kansas City, Missouri, USA for a brief time until called back to England." Well done, Gunner John Garvey Perdue, a life well lived.

Elder Leslie G. Christie is the Senior Pastor and Co-Founder of Kingdom Church International, affectionately known as KCI, a six-year-old, non-denominational, independent church, and a member of the United Covenant Churches of Christ, where the Presiding Bishop and General Overseer is Bishop Eric D. Garnes. Under her leadership, KCI has grown to be known as a place with an atmosphere of authentic worship, and where healing and deliverance takes place. She is married to "The Maestro" himself, Professor & Executive Pastor Martin D. Christie, who is the absolute love of her life.
At a very young age, Pastor Christie accepted the Lord, Jesus Christ, as her personal Savior. From childhood, she was raised to be a leader, holding numerous leadership roles on the local, regional, and national levels within the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, where she grew up. Her ministry began in the area of music. This led to her involvement with many great and well-known choirs, singers and musicians. The love that Pastor Christie has for God and His music is quite evident. It is because of this love that Pastor Christie insists upon a worship atmosphere that reflects God's true purpose for the creation of music, instruments, minstrels, psalmists, dancers and worshippers.
Pastor Christie has extensive experience in community development and its many facets. She is the former Deputy Director of the Association of Brooklyn Clergy for Community Development, and the former Ministry Support Center Manager for Prison Fellowship New York.

With Kingdom ministry and community development being her focus, Pastor Christie is clear of God's mandate upon His children, as spoken in Isaiah 61 & Luke 4, to radically and lovingly reclaim and rescue, from the hand of the enemy, God's people and His cities.
Pastor Christie is one who believes in putting her gifts to work. She is CEO of SRO Entertainment – an events planning and management company; Co-owner and Chief Operating Officer of Higher Learning Empowerment Group – a multi-purpose educational and life-coaching company; and Owner and CEO of Beyond the Break, Inc. – a multi-faceted empowerment ministry for women, men and families.

KapCon 2022 is cancelled
Fri, 11/19/2021 - 16:34 — IdiotSavant
Unfortunately, due to the Covid-19 situation, we have reluctantly decided to cancel KapCon this year. At present it seems unlikely that case numbers will drop sufficiently by late January for Wellington to be in level Green, and we're expecting a leap in December.
This is obviously disappointing - the first time in over twenty years we have not run - but we would rather cancel than risk running an unsafe event. We'd also like to give people certainty now, rather than cancelling after they've made commitments and travel plans.
I'd like to thank all the GMs who offered early games. Hopefully you'll get a chance to run them (there are a couple of other roleplaying events planned for later in 2022, and I'm sure they'd love to see them).
KapCon will be back at the same time, same place, in 2023, if it is safe to do so. Hopefully we'll see you all then.
IdiotSavant's blog
KapCon and Covid-19
Because of the threat of Covid our con will be a bit different this year. The big change is that we're trying to limit mass gatherings on the main floor, which means limiting announcements. As part of this, we're not doing scoring or prizes this year, because that means prizegiving, which means everyone in a room cheering. While things are normalish in NZ, we're playing this on the safe side, and trying to avoid risk. We're also duplicating the game and timetable info - "the wall of games" - so people don't have to congregate in one place to see what's on.
There'll be a QR code on the upstairs entrance and on the main floor. Please scan in each day. We'll also have hand sanitiser in multiple areas so you can decontaminate. Our registration spreadsheet provides pretty good info for contact-tracing, but we're hoping no-one needs to use it for that purpose.
Obviously: if you are sick, please let us know by email or on the KapPhone (022 341 5067) and stay home. We will provide a full refund. If you're a GM, don't stress - we will cope.
Also obviously: wash your hands!
We hope that none of this is necessary. As of today, the shields are still holding. But we want to run a safe con and that means planning for the worst just in case. Hopefully it'll just be this year, and next year things will be back to normal.
KapCon 2021: Initial call for games
Mon, 08/31/2020 - 19:01 — IdiotSavant
The KapCon dragon has awoken. A little late this year, thanks to the pandemic and lockdown, but we're looking for games for our initial lineup for next year's con. We will only run if it is safe to do so (so we have to be in level 1, with no lockdowns, social distancing or public gathering restrictions), but for the moment we're assuming / hoping that that will be the case in January and planning accordingly. We'll be keeping an eye on the situation, and are aware that we may have to cancel the whole thing if there is another outbreak. That's just the world we live in now I guess.
We've already contacted the GMs who boldly offered games in the immediate aftermath of the con in January, but if you're interested in running something, then please log in and fill out the form.
We need about eight sessions of tabletop plus a few small (8-12 player) larps in each early round before we can open in early November. The sooner we get those games, the sooner we can open. We're trying to ensure we have plenty of teen-friendly offerings this year for Adventure Squad graduates, so if your game is teen-friendly, please tag it as such.
We do not currently have a flagship larp. If anyone wants to run something that meets our criteria (broad appeal, 3 hours, ~40 players), then please get in contact with "kapcon@gmail.com". If we cannot find a larp, we will simply run round 4 with extra tabletop.
I look forward to seeing your offerings.
2020 small larp signups are open
Wed, 12/04/2019 - 15:05 — IdiotSavant
Updated 5 jan 2020: Updated number of player spots.
Registration for small larps is now open. We don't have very many this year, so space is limited (of course if you want to offer one, you can submit it via the usual form). Here's what we've got:
Round 1: LARP: The Left Hand (8 player spots; 2 vacant)
Round 2: LARP: The Star of Bethlem (6 spots; FULL)
Round 3: LARP: Heist Time (6 spots; FULL)
Round 4: LARP: Toil & Trouble (6 spots; 1 vacant)
Round 5: LARP: Hypoxia (8 slots; 3 vacant)
Round 7: LARP: It Ain't Easy Being Gilled (10 slots; 4 vacant)
Note that Hypoxia takes up two rounds, with a one-round workshop followed by one round of game. You will need to sign up for both to play.
If you'd like to register for any of these, please email me on kapcon@gmail.com. As with tabletops, I'll be running a "shark week" with random allocation if there is too much demand, after which it is first come, first served. If you are a GM, you can beat the system by exercising a GM pick (so GM a game, people :)
Updated 10/12/2019: Added "It Ain't Easy Being Gilled".
Call for small larps
This year we are not offering a flagship, but we are seeking small larps to run as part of the normal gaming stream.
Our game-spaces are school classrooms. While they can fit 20 people for a larp, it gets a bit crowded, so 12 or less is probably a better number. We can offer more space in round 4 (the old flagship round), since there are usually people who skip the evening. So if there's a couple of people wanting to run 20-player games in that slot, we can probably make it work.
We can access the NZLARPS Wellington gear library for set dressing, there's not a lot of time between games to set dress and pack up, so low-prop games probably work better. We can take signups for your game if it requires costume of pre-casting.
We would like to run at least one small larp per round, so that's at least 7 games. If you have something you think works, then please fill out the form here
Its tomorrow!
KapCon is tomorrow! Doors open at around 8:15am, and the first session starts at 9. We've had some last minute registrations, which brings the final pre-registration count to a round one hundred adults - plus 18 adventure squaddies who registered by email. So, we officially have an adventure horde on Sunday. I hope we have enough dragons for them to slay.
On Sunday, doors will open ~9:15, and the first session will start at 10, to give everyone a bit of a sleep-in.
The registration form has been disabled, and the KapCon account will not be monitored over the weekend, because I will be gaming. If you're onsite, do it at the desk. If you're offsite, then I'm basicly reading stuff at midnight on Saturday after the larp, or on Sunday morning before the con. I'll catch up with stuff afterwards; hopefully I won't miss anything important.
KapCon needs more games
Thu, 01/10/2019 - 16:50 — IdiotSavant
TL;DR: We need a few more games, plus surge protection. Numbers follow.
Calling for those last few games! As I've mentioned, registrations are low - currently we have just 81, plus 14 squaddies on Sunday. I am currently expecting a total attendance of ~130: basicly, one or two registrations per day, plus 20 walk-ins. And I need cover in case signups increase or that last number is 30 rather than 20. Which means: we need a few more games, plus some surge protection.
Here's what we've got:
Round 1: 70 (11 games) + 12 GOD
Round 3: 43 (8 games) + 12 GOD
Round 4: 6 (1 game) + 12 GOD
Round 5: 53 (10 games) + 12 GOD + AS
(Note that not everyone attends every session, so I have 26 vacant slots in rounds 1 and 2, which fits well with the number of signups we expect)
Based on past cons of similar size, usual demand patterns, and accounting for Adventure Squad soaking parents on Sunday. I think we need 75 / 75 / 50 / 25 / 65 / 70 / 45. Which means we need: 1 more game in rounds 1,2 and 3, 1 or 2 more games in round 4 (the larp session, and the one with the biggest uncertainty), 2 more in rounds 5,6 and 7 (though the latter is often dealt with by GMs getting enthusiastic on the day). In addition, we need at least one surge protection game for every round (we have 3 GMs who have volunteered to run all 6 sessions if they have to, and that's half our surge protection covered. But we want to give them a chance to play, and they'd probably be running in GoD anyway).
If you can help, either email me at kapcon@gmail.com, or fill out the form here: http://kapcon.org.nz/?q=node/add/game
One month to go!
Its one month till KapCon. Have you registered yet?
Currently signups are a little slow, but we're expecting them to pick up over the xmas break. Meanwhile we're still looking for games to round out our timetable, so if you'd like to offer something, please fill out the form here.
There are still spaces in our flagship larp, The Storm, but not for much longer: the logistics of larps mean that the GM will soon have to make decisions on which characters to cut. So, if you want to play it, sign up here.
Preliminary timetable
Sun, 01/07/2018 - 11:23 — IdiotSavant
The preliminary timetable is up! You can view it here.
Room assignments aren't final, and there will likely be some changes over the next week (in particular, as we add the last few games), but most things should stay in the same slot.
Small larp signup is open / general update
Small larp signup for KapCon 2018 is now open. If you'd like to sign up for any of the larps being run on Sunday, then please fill out the form here:
https://goo.gl/forms/86IciHtps3Fcvbo83
I'm using a form this year because its easier than emails. As usual, I'll be running a "shark week" for larps, and if anything is over-subscribed, allocating spaces randomly. If there are still spaces after that, then its first come, first-served.
Also, as a general con update: we now have over 50 registrations. We're most of the way towards filling the timetable, but we'll still need ~15 more sessions of gaming to fill out the con, including a few more games in rounds one and two. I expect those will drift in over the next month, so no panic yet. But if you'd like to save me from running around with my hair on fire later, the best way of doing so is to run a game.


Reposting LTE that originally appeared on Sunday, February 10, 2019 in The Denver Post.
Sen. Cory Gardner stepped up on an issue vital to Colorado's small businesses and working families, the health insurance tax. This tax directly raises premiums, and Gardner has co-sponsored legislation to keep it on hold for two more years.
If his bill passes, it would be a great relief. My company employs 60 people, and even with the health insurance tax suspended this year, our health plan is my third highest expense and the only one I have no control over. I've consistently seen annual premium increases of at least 16 percent, and for the last three years, it's been 20 percent. If the health insurance tax returns in 2020, it will cost me an extra $25,000.
Even as I spend more each year, my contribution represents an ever-smaller percentage of the premium, so my employees are forced to kick in more. Their burden will only get worse with the health insurance tax dipping into the funds I have available for wage increases and other benefits. Many small businesses are expecting similar impacts, so the health insurance tax will harm working families statewide.
I'm in the business of helping doctors manage payments, so I see health care issues from all sides — and no one is happy about the health insurance tax. It raises costs and undermines Coloradans' shared goal of expanding health care access.

Q: How to select first row for each set of rows with common value As an example I have a a table like this:
week_dt     cust    y_w     w   y       y_fp
2011-01-29  ABC     201122  6   2011    201106
2011-02-05  ABC     201123  6   2011    201106
2011-02-12  ABC     201124  6   2011    201106
2011-02-19  ABC     201125  7   2011    201107
2011-02-26  ABC     201126  7   2011    201107
2011-03-05  ABC     201127  7   2011    201107
2011-03-12  ABC     201128  7   2011    201107
2011-03-19  ABC     201129  8   2011    201108
2011-03-26  ABC     201130  8   2011    201108
2011-04-02  ABC     201131  8   2011    201108
2011-04-09  ABC     201132  8   2011    201108

2011-04-23  ABC     201134  9   2011    201109

The last column contains year/fiscal period info. I would like to select one row for each y_fp element with week_dt and y_w being the first date for that year/fiscal period. Thus selecting from the above would yield:
week_dt     cust    y_w     w   y       y_fp
2011-01-29  ABC     201122  6   2011    201106

I've tried following this example using TOP(1) instead of LIMIT but I got the entire table returned to me.
This was my query:
SELECT * FROM (
    SELECT
    md.week_dt,
    md.cust,
    md.y_w,
    md.y,
    md.w,
    md.y_fp,
    FROM MASTER_DATES md
) t1
Where
    t1.week_dt IN (
    SELECT TOP(1) t2.week_dt
    FROM MASTER_DATES t2
    WHERE t2.week_dt = t1.week_dt AND t2.cust = t1.cust
    ORDER BY t2.week_dt
)
ORDER BY t1.week_dt

Note that MASTER_DATES contains a composite primary key from columns week_dt and cust.

A: Try to use row_number and a partition by to divide it by md.y_fp
WITH C AS(
 SELECT
    md.week_dt,
    md.cust,
    md.y_w,
    md.y,
    md.w,
    md.y_fp,
    row_number() over(partition by md.y_fp order by md.week_dt asc) as rn
FROM MASTER_DATES md
)
SELECT *
FROM C
WHERE RN = 1

A: One method is row_number():
select md.*
from (select md.*,
             row_number() over (partition by md.cust, md.y_fp order by md.week_date desc) as seqnum
      from master_dates md
     ) md
where seqnum = 1;

In some cases, though, a correlated subquery has better performance:
select md.*
from master_dates md
where md.week_date = (select min(md2.week_date)
                      from master_dates md2
                      where md2.cust = md.cust and md2.y_fp = md.y_fp
                     );

For best performance, you want an index on (cust, y_fp, week_date).
These answer assume that you want the information per customer, although that is not explicitly stated in the question.

A: Your sample data and expected results indicate that a simple group by is enough:
select
  min(week_dt) week_dt,
  cust,
  min(y_w) y_w,
  w,
  y,
  y_fp
from MASTER_DATES
group by cust, y, w, y_fp

Reiki means Cosmic Energy or Universal Life Force Energy.
A Reiki treatment takes about an 75 minutes. The client lays down fully clothed on a massage table to receive a hands on treatment. The practitioner then goes through a series of specific hand positions which treats all the major organs of the body with Reiki (a specific type of Qi or energy that flows out of the practitioner's hands). Reiki is effective in treating both physical and mental conditions and usually leaves the client in a very peaceful state of mind. If there are specific issues the client would like to work on, that is addressed in the treatments as well.
It is recommended that the client schedules 3-4 treatments on consecutive days initially. This will give the body the consistent Reiki it needs to harmonize itself. After the initial treatments, scheduling depends on the person's condition and their goals. We also offer Distance Reiki sessions.
A low cost student Reiki clinic is offered a various times throughout the year. Visit https://www.thereikipreservationsociety.org/student-reiki-clinic/ to learn more.
Reiki treatments can be performed on a client who is either fully reclined comfortably on a massage table or semi-reclined on a massage chair or recliner. If you have mobility or pain issues, we will accommodate your needs to ensure you are most comfortable for the session. Reiki may be done with a light gentle pressure static touch or the Practitioner's hands may be a few inches/centimeters above your body at the hand positions with no actual touch or light touch.
Help the client contact the 'healer' within.
The American Institute of Stress estimates that 75-95% of all visits to doctors are the results of reaction to stress. The effects of unreleased stress can range from minor aches to major health concerns, such as heart disease, gastrointestinal disorders, back and neck pain, skin irritations, anxiety, depression, and so on. Reiki restores energy balance and vitality by relieving the physical and emotional effects of unreleased stress.
For those who would like to learn Reiki, I offer classes. I teach the traditional form of Reiki: Usui Shiki Reiki Ryoho and have 20+ years of experience. You can find more class information, including my class schedule, at www.TheReikiPreservationSociety.org. I am a member of The Reiki Alliance and the founder of The Reiki Preservation Society.


Idaho Fish and Game (IDFG) prefers to manage wolf populations using hunters and trappers and only authorizes its "control actions" where regulated killing has been insufficient to meet "management" goals.
The Lolo zone is steep, rugged country that is difficult to access, especially in winter. To date, hunters and trappers have reported 18 wolves killed in the Lolo zone during the 2018-19 season.
IDFG just killed seven more.
History tells us, however, that the Lolo elk population dropped to historically low levels before wolves were restored to the region. So in an effort to boost elk numbers for human hunters, Idaho is scapegoating wolves and ignoring the many factors that affect elk population including human activities, weather, disease, and wildfire.

The question Here is what do I type to append to the clipboard register?
Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled Jan 2 2014 19:39:59) Huge version with GTK2 GUI.
see stackoverflow. The problem, as you have understood, is that you cannot capitalise the + character.
For example, to add a line in your buffer to the clipboard, place the cursor on the line and yank it with yy. Then type :let @+ .= @0 to run (:) the command let to append (.=) register (@) 0, which always holds the last yank, to register + which is a representation of the clipboard.
For example, to add the string "abc" to the clipboard, type :let @+ .= 'abc'.
(To change the X11 selection instead of the clipboard register + use register *).
vim has a huge set of commands. If you plan to adopt it as your favourite editor it is worth putting some effort into knowing, at least superficially, some of them. Most vim users probably only use about a dozen commands and are not interested it its true potential. It's a pity, as such tools could significantly reduce their workload.
You might like Learn Vimscript the Hard Way. The builtin vim help is also viewable on the web at sourceforge , with this page on The Vim script language.
Only the 26 named registers a to z can be appended to. But the "unnamed" register " always points to the last used register. We can use this to our advantage because this also means that the item appended to a named register is also appended to the "unnamed" register.
Check the registers with :reg + ".
You'll notice they both contain Line 1.
Append Line 2 to register "a" by typing "Ayy. (Or use any named register you wish).
Check the registers with :reg a + ".
Register + remains the same as expected.
Register a has Line 2 appended to whatever was there before.
Register " has both Line 1 and Line 2.
Side note: look into setting the "unnamed" register to the clipboard so you don't have to type "+yy each time. If set, you can just use yy to yank to the clipboard.

I am very excited for the opportunity to write this blog post. OpenShift users asked and we've listened! WebSockets support is now live on OpenShift.
WebSockets are a big part of the upcoming HTML5 standard. WebSockets are designed to bring HTTP (and the web world generally) and TCP closer. WebSockets are TCP protocol that uses HTTP as a initiation handshake and then upgrades to the WebSockets protocol. Let's see how it works (examples are taken from Wikipedia page).
At first the client sends a request to server as simple HTTP request with one small, but important, change. The request contains the Upgrade: websocket header and that means that when the handshake is finished successfully, neither the server nor client is supposed to close the connection, but to start to treat the connection as WebSocket connection and switch to the protocol.
Notice that the Connection: Upgrade header notifies the client that the request to upgrade to WebSockets was well understood.
The important thing about the HTTP based handshake is that when the server does not understand the request, it automatically falls back to standard HTTP and there is no need for separate layers. Yes, you are right, WebSockets do not need any special ports, they just run over existing HTTP layers.
Simple isn't it? Well, from the perspective of the client YES!, however from the perspective of the server not so much.
For OpenShift as a PaaS provider, WebSockets were a big challenge. The routing layer that sits between the user's browser and your application must be able to route and handle WebSockets. OpenShift uses Apache as a reverse proxy server and a main component to route requests throughout the platform. However, Apache's mod_proxy has been problematic with WebSockets, so OpenShift implemented a new Node.js based routing layer that provides scalability and the possibility to expand features provided to our users.
The second thing that is problematic is the backend. WebSockets by default will work fine only with Node.js and DIY cartridges. Yeah, I know, it's pain … but bear with me and let me explain a bit why this problem occurs.
In the cartridges for specific languages we provide preconfigured environments to give our users the best experience possible. As an example, with Ruby we spin up Apache + Passenger to start and maintain your application. You may already see the problem. There is a layer between your application and the routing system (Apache+Passenger) and it needs to be able to handle Websockets, but it does not. Actually all the Apache based deployments are crippled by this problem (Apache+mod_wsgi for Python, Apache+mod_perl for Perl, Apache+mod_php for PHP and Apache+Passenger for Ruby). For running Java applications we use Tomcat6 and JBoss, unfortunately, these are not WebSockets enabled either.
In case of Node.js there is no intermediate layer, and the routing system talks directly to your Node.js application, and because of that, there is no problem to use WebSockets. For now, Node.js applications provide most streamline WebSockets support on OpenShift.
However, with DIY you can run whatever you want. Yes, it's a bit more painful, but allows you to run some custom server that is WebSockets enabled. I.e. you can use WebSockets with other languages, too, but you need to run those using DIY.
Update: There is one more known complication. When using our preview-deployment of WebSockets with HTTPS and WSS protocols, you will face self-signed certificate. That is because this environment is only temporary to give you insight into upcoming features. Once we move the new routing layer to standard ports 80 and 443, i.e. we move WebSockets support into production, the certificates used will be signed and valid as they are with current deployment.
We are releasing a preview version of WebSockets support. This means our new routing layer will be available on specific ports for users that want to test and provide feedback on the functionality. Interested? Try it and let us know what was your experience!
How to access Preview WebSockets Support?
You will need to connect to specific ports, as the main routing layer is still Apache based and does not support WebSockets.
Using WebSockets in your HTML code is very simple. The biggest challenge is making sure users have WebSocket enabled browsers which isn't that big of a challenge since most modern browser support WebSockets according to Wikipedia.
All the latest browsers except Android browser support the latest specification (RFC 6455) of the WebSocket protocol.
No, I have not provided one. I want YOU to implement something cool. Maybe something we can feature in our new Application Gallery!
To help you to get started, let's see what you may use to implement your server backend.


As funny as 2011's Horrible Bosses is, Horrible Bosses 2 is even funnier. The jokes are more consistent and the comedy shows no restraint. It continues its skit based comedic style, and instead of having a story that they squeeze jokes into, the jokes and story go hand in hand. In a comedy, this is what you want.
As for the rest of the film, the story is not as easily paced as its predecessor. In the first movie the events all fit together to feel like one big event–similar to Reservoir Dogs. In the sequel, there are a few more plot points, so the story becomes a little more intricate, thus the narrative more unorganized. But because the tone is so consistent, its slightly uneven pacing is forgiven.
If you're a fan of the first, you won't have to worry about typical sequel problems with this one. The plot is very creative and doesn't feel forced. And it's the same exact type of comedy here, but more of it.

Demand deposits represent amounts due to individuals and firms payable on demand. No interest is paid on these accounts except in special cases where a large dormant balance is kept which could otherwise be transferred to the savings bank department. The average current accounts are frequently run at a loss, and were it not for the collateral profits accruing from the connection in the shape of exchange, discount and the like, the burden of operating them would be serious. The average cost of carrying a small account has been variously estimated at from $15 to $25 per annum, to cover this expense a full balance of at least $300 is necessary.
In order to prevent the abuse of the checking privilege some of the banks make a nominal charge for carrying small checking accounts, but it is a question even then if the bank comes out ahead.
Ranking would not be possible if its present lines were seriously changed. We have to bear in mind that the business of banking, like every other kind of business of long standing, has evolved itself by daily-accumulating experience. I believe that depositors cannot expect a greater return than they now obtain, unless there were some general change in the supply of, and the demand for, loanable capital. Bankers do not take in deposit money as an investment for the depositor. The money comes in at the will of its owner, without notice, and is withdrawn without notice. That consideration governs the employment by bankers of their deposit money. They have individually to judge from the circumstances of their particular business what percentage of cash to their total liabilities they need to keep in their tills, what percentage of cash they shall keep unemployed to insure the public confidence in the stability of their institution, and what percentage of their liabilities to the public shall be represented by first-class securities, and first-class securities so written down in price that nothing but an extraordinary public catastrophe shall reduce their selling price below the figures at which they appear on the balance-sheet, and so produce an apparent deficiency in the assets of the bank. To keep money unemployed is to lessen earning power; to hold first-class securities is to obtain less than the average rate of return on money employed in loans, and to write them down to a safe level is a form of insurance that expert opinion demands of a banker.
It is not only from within that these matters have to be looked at, it is also from without. There is a large class of the public perfectly able to reckon up the safety or insecurity indicated by the broad lines of a bank balance-sheet, and, in the long run, the strongest institutions get the deposits. Paradoxical as it may seem, a banker's balance-sheet must exhibit an ability to pay any proportion of the banker's liabilities likely to be called for by nervous people in times of stress, not merely because the call for repayment needs to be faced, but also because to exhibit strength is to disincline people to make the demand.


According to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, Rockies reliever Manny Corpas has been placed on waivers. Bear in mind that it's likely just a procedural move and does not mean Corpas is going to be traded.
Corpas struggled in April and May and lost the closer job. The 25 year-old has a 2.50 ERA and 8.67 K/BB since the beginning of June though. He's signed cheaply through 2011 with club options on '12 and '13, so he would not clear waivers.
Corpas probably wouldn't make it far through the NL before a team claims him. Even the Reds, fourth in line, could take him with an eye on the future. Most likely the Rockies will pull him back and not make a deal.

An unusual blend of a developing nation and the modern world, Malaysia ranks as one of the richest countries in Southeast Asia, its prosperity largely resting on thriving high-tech industries. Malaysia vacations remain a more affordable alternative to the expensive tourism in some neighboring countries. Take a trip to Malaysia to explore busy cities filled with colonial-era architecture, tranquil tea plantations supporting a large portion of the local population, and dozens of scattered islands happily evading the worst aspects of mass tourism. While there may be fewer visitors, there's no shortage of fine beaches, mangrove estuaries, and verdant rainforests filled with exotic wildlife. Malaysia is in Asia. Use our Malaysia trip planner: Malaysia and all its delights await.


Use the delicate hearts, or inner stalks, of celery for this salad. Slice both the celery and radishes very thin; it goes faster than you'd think but you can use a food processor to speed up the process.
Featured in: Celery As The Main Event.
Combine the celery, radishes, parsley, chives, walnuts and gorgonzola in a salad bowl. Toss with the vinegar, olive oil and walnut oil. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper, and serve.
Advance preparation: The salad will hold for a couple of hours in the refrigerator. Toss again before serving. It is a good salad for a buffet as it will remain crunchy.

Q: Trouble using Meteor-Please to deploy to Centos/RHEL I've been trying for sometime to use the mplz utility to deploy and run a Meteor app. It seems (well now it seemed) simpler and more unified than Meteor Up which said it was targeted towards Debian/Ubuntu distros.
After running a successful mplz setup on a clean CentOS7 image, I cannot access the app. All I have ever gotten is an "nginx error!" page. In the nginx error log I saw this at first:
2016/03/14 17:14:47 [crit] 4997#0: *2 connect() to 127.0.0.1:3000 failed (13: Permission denied) while connecting to upstream, client: myLocalIP, server: domain.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/", host: "domain.com"

After doing some research I believe I fixed the permissions issue by changing the nginx user and adding the users to the appropriate groups. The website still only displayed the nginx error page, but had a new message in the error_log.
I am now getting a connection refused error:
2016/03/14 18:15:59 [error] 2489#0: *2 connect() failed (111: Connection refused) while connecting to upstream, client: myLocalIp, server: domain.com, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://127.0.0.1:3000/", host: "domain.com"

All I'm really trying to get done is deploy a persistent copy of my Meteor app to the server. I am not at all familiar with nginx or server-ops kind of stuff, I've mainly worked on existing websites working on features.
I would love any suggestions of how to solve this issue OR how to better or more easily deploy Meteor to a public server.


Ugh. Blogger is giving me fits today. It won't let me upload my graphic which is highly frustrating. Then again, a lot of life is frustrating, isn't it? Families who refuse to help out, people who forget to tell you when your children's parent teacher conferences are and the list could go on. I'm not going to let it though, not in this post. This post is all about yummy food and because I didn't get to eat this delicious menu a couple of weeks ago, I'm going to attempt to use it this week. Wish me luck!

Home » Fluff to Tuff Challenge!
The StoneAgeFuel Fluff to Tuff challenge is set to kick off Saturday January 11 at 12pm with a talk about what to expect, common pitfalls and general information. After the talk we will take everyones measurements and pictures so wear something you are comfortable taking a picture in!
This is a 30 day challenge for StoneAgeFuel members and a 21 day challenge for non members. Why 21 or 30 days? From our experience when introducing a new eating program to people 21 days is the magic number to allow people to stick to the program and not become so overwhelmed that they hate it. We want this to be a lifestyle change, not just a random competition. Your health and well being is our priority and we would like this to have a lasting impact on you and hopefully you can bring this lifestyle to your family and friends. Challenges that last 60, 90 or more days tend to force people to fall off the wagon as soon as it ends, because of the amount of time committed to maintaining a perfect diet.
Each participant will get a StoneAgeFuel Fluff to Tuff log book and a finisher T-Shirt that we designed 100% ourselves. These are not log books printed from a random CrossFit website and then branded with our logo. All the information in the log books is created by the StoneAgeFuel team and outlines the recommendations that have allowed us to helps thousands of others in the past. We are very proud of this and hope you enjoy it as well!

Q: Preventing WM_DEVICECHANGE from dispatching I'm developing a Windows 7 application which has to prevent WinDVD from triggering new disc availability when inserted (i.e. inserting a DVD).
Background information:
I'm working out this little application for a company which has to compare two movie players at a time playing simultaneously the same DVD, from different drives.
They're doing heuristic quality testing to determine best DVD player at the moment to bundle it into their new line of PCs.
At the moment their best choice seem to be WinDVD, so every other test has to be conducted against it. Problem is, when they insert first DVD, it's all right the default player WinDVD starts.
Then when they insert the second disc, the default player responds first, so they are forced to close the window and open the other player they're testing.
This is done for many movies that represent a reference to them to spot color rendering and image quality. It becomes tedious for users to close the additional window when it shows up, as this operation is due to be repeated hundreds of times a week.
My program is trying to inhibit default player' second response
I thought to intercept a WM_DEVICECHANGE message to somehow create a global hook for it.
Problem is, intercepting WM_DEVICECHANGE works very well, but it doesn't block WinDVD's ability to trigger new units insertion, evidently letting the message being delivered anyways. Due to this I started thinking how to prevent that message being dispatched after my interception.
In order to realize this global hook I thought of, I'm using this line of code:
CurrentHook:=setwindowshookex(WH_CALLWNDPROC,HookProcAdd,LibHandle,0);

linked to the callback contained within a DLL of mine and I can see that WM_DEVICECHANGE is correctly intercepted, but as I said the message is still dispatched to the whole system.
Any suggestion appreciated.
Updates:
@TOndrej :
I've tried what follows:
var
  rlen         : DWORD;
  pRelen       : ^DWORD;
  h            : THandle;
  val : Boolean;
  pVal: ^Boolean;
  res : Boolean;
begin
  rlen := 0;
  val := True;
  pVal := @val;
  pRelen := @val;
  h := CreateFile(PChar('\\.\d:'), GENERIC_READ or GENERIC_WRITE, FILE_SHARE_READ or FILE_SHARE_WRITE, nil,
    OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0);
  if h <> INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE then
  begin
    res:= DeviceIoControl(h,
                          IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL,
                          pVal,
                          SizeOf(val),
                          nil,
                          0,
                          rlen,
                          nil);
    if not res then
    begin

      ShowMessage('Error');
    end;

    CloseHandle(h);
  end;
end;

but res is false every time. What am I missing?

A: For IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL control code, files must be opened with the FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES access right:
var
  rlen: DWORD;
  pVal: PBOOL;
  res: BOOL;
begin
  rlen := 0;

  GetMem(PVal,SizeOf(BOOL));
  pVal^ := TRUE;

  h := CreateFile(PChar('\\.\D:'),
    FILE_READ_ATTRIBUTES,
    FILE_SHARE_READ OR FILE_SHARE_WRITE,
    nil, OPEN_EXISTING, 0, 0);

  if h <> INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE then
  begin
    res:= DeviceIoControl(h,
                          IOCTL_STORAGE_MCN_CONTROL,
                          pVal,
                          SizeOf(BOOL),
                          nil,
                          0,
                          rlen,
                          nil);
    if not res then
    begin
      ShowMessage('Error');
    end else
    begin
      ShowMessage('Device Notification Disabled');
    end;

    // close file handle
    CloseHandle(h);
    // After CloseHandle, file notification is restored...
  end;
end;

In my test, after CloseHandle, device notification is restored...

A: The correct, official, and documented way to handle this is to suppress AutoRun programmably.  If your app is not in the foreground to receive the "QueryCancelAutoPlay" message, your global hook should be able to respond to the message without dispatching it.

A: Why not just disable the CD autorun capability by setting the registry key HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\CDRom and set the key Autorun to 0 instead of 1?
The customer must launch each application separately, or maybe choose an "open with..." option, but that should be perfectly suitable for benchmark testing.  By your description they are testing runtime performance and playback quality, not autorun capability.

Chargers' Parham conflicted after what happened to Hamlin
by: By JOE REEDY
Posted: Jan 6, 2023 / 02:09 PM HST
Updated: Jan 6, 2023 / 02:09 PM HST
COSTA MESA, Calif. (AP)Donald Parham experienced his most satisfying moment of the season Sunday when he caught first touchdown pass in nearly 14 months.
One night later though, the Los Angeles Chargers tight end was feeling conflicted emotions when he saw Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin being loaded into an ambulance after suffering cardiac arrest in a game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
Parham knows all too well what it is like being taken off the field on a stretcher after a frightening incident. During the fourth quarter of a Dec. 16, 2021, game against the Kansas City Chiefs, the back of Parham's head slammed into the ground in the back of the end zone when he was trying to catch a pass from Justin Herbert.
The memories about that play came flooding back for Parham as he saw the situation unfold with Hamlin.
"Seeing him laid out on the field like that it definitely took something out of me a little bit because I've been there. It was very confusing just to collect my emotions and how I felt," Parham said. "I caught myself feeling like that was me last year and feeling kind of hopeless. It was crazy overall. It really hurt seeing something like that."
After the play, a camera zoomed in on Parham's face, showing his eyes closed and mouth open. A teammate briefly tried to move Parham's left arm, but it was frozen in a bent position.
Trainers and medical personnel removed Parham's facemask from his helmet and placed him on a backboard. Parham's arms were shaking while he was taken off the field as concerned players from both teams watched.
Parham was taken to the hospital for tests and was diagnosed with a concussion, which kept him out for the remainder of the 2021 seasons.
Parham returned to the team during the spring and participated in offseason drills. But he has been plagued by hamstring issues that have limited him to five games.
Since coming back Dec. 18 against Tennessee, Parham has five receptions for 46 yards.
Besides his 3-yard TD catch in the fourth quarter last Sunday against the Rams to put the Chargers up by three scores, Parham provided a key block on Austin Ekeler's 72-yard touchdown run during the second quarter.
"Football has tested his patience. To see him go out like that and play a really complete game – I thought that he blocked extremely well and was a factor in the passing game. To score a touchdown, a big red-area touchdown for us, it was a big moment for him," coach Brandon Staley said.
Offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi said that Parham's attitude has been steady throughout the season despite being beset by injuries.
"Since I've been here, I've kind of felt like he's a guy that's just waiting to blow up and become a bigger part of our offensive and become a bigger star in the NFL," Lombardi said. "Injuries and some bad luck is has kept him from doing that, so it's good to see him get back on track. Hopefully, you can continue to see big things from him."
The 6-foot-8, 237-pound Parham showed his first two seasons that he can be a dependable target for quarterback Justin Herbert. With Gerald Everett also having a solid season, Parham's tall frame and ability to make big catches in the red zone make both tight ends important factors for Sunday's regular-season finale at Denver and going into the playoffs.
The Chargers (10-6) should know by kickoff against the Broncos if they have secured the AFC's fifth seed. If the Cincinnati Bengals beat the Baltimore Ravens, Los Angeles would be the fifth seed and the Ravens sixth seed regardless of what happens in Denver.
However, a Baltimore victory would mean the Chargers would also have to beat the Broncos to secure the fifth seed. Both teams would finish 11-6, but Los Angeles would win the tiebreaker by having a better conference record.
"It's very important that we just stick to what we know, making sure that we're taking each week as it is and preparing for the game ahead," Parham said.


Are you having an issue with your sewer or drain line? Need to inspect the condition of a sewer before a home purchase?
We can help. A camera inspection can determine the condition of the sewer line.
First, we access the drain from a clean-out, plumbing fixture, or pipe vent. Utilizing high-definition color camera equipment we run a camera scope through the sewer or drain line. The camera is able to view the condition of the pipe and determine pipe size, material kind, location of piping, and depth.
A sewer line inspection is the term used to describe a video recording of the main sewer line which runs from your bathrooms to the main city sewer outside your property. Often, realtors suggest to potential new homeowners to hire a local plumber to complete a sewer line inspection, prior to the new owners acquiring the property.

The company behind the world's most watched countdown: Times Square New Year Ball Drop
The Times Square Ball Drop countdown is not only a major global attraction but also a New Year's tradition to many people. Thousands of people buy tickets for the New Year Eve's Ball Drop party, and millions watch it live on TV and online.
Most spectators take it for granted when they see a clock counting down the time to the moment when one year ends and another begins. However, professionals know how much science and state-of-the art technology are involved in this.
In previous years, malfunctions in countdown and synchronisation caused awkward moments and disruptions in some cities around the world, including monetary damage. But not in Times Square.
For the past 11 years, the Ball Drop countdowns have been happening without a hitch, thanks to Tiger Party – the ad tech company behind some of the most memorable DOOH campaigns in Times Square.
Since 2010, the Tiger Party team has been managing the countdown clock and synchronizing 38 of Time Square's largest billboards, with the accuracy of up to 1/60 of a second.
The company is also responsible for complex screen management, allowing producers of the New Year Ball Drop event to switch from scheduled content to live-streaming at any point.
The New Year's Eve content playback is only a small part of the functionality Tiger Party provides for DOOH networks in Times Square.
Tiger Party has been executing famous campaigns on the most spectacular billboards in the world, such as the ABC Supersign, One Times Square, NASDAQ Sign, Disney Spectacular, American Eagle, the Reuters and Marriott signs, and more.
Tiger Party's proprietary software GOTIGER ensures a 4K lossless quality playback and enables every type of interactivity for Times Square campaigns.
According to Tiger Party CEO Rafale Chang, the company introduced many tech innovations in DOOH advertising. Among other things, Tiger Party was:
•	the first one to provide 3D warping for irregular shaped billboards in Times Square
•	the first one to enable interactive feed playback in Times Square with a high level of data security.
•	the first one to fully support 4K lossless 60FPS content to deliver the stunning visual quality in Times Square.
The status of OOH inventory in Times Square is often seen as a barometer for the industry, and this year, the New Year's Eve ad spots are sold faster than ever before, almost 1.5 months ahead. The top sponsors of this year's event include gym-giant Planet Fitness, Carnival Cruise Line, and Kia Corporation.
As the Omicron variant spreads globally, London, Paris, and Shibuya's New Year's Eve countdown events were canceled. In New York, the Times Square Ball Drop celebration is still planned to take place, although it will be 'scaled back'.
And, as usual, Tiger Party is ready to make the Ball Drop countdown happen.
Tiger Party is a dynamic DOOH campaign execution company. Tiger Party specializes in commercial spectacular, creating DOOH campaigns of any complexity and interactivity, on any type of screens, including giant and irregular-shaped digital billboards.
Tiger Party's proprietary software platform, GOTIGER is a DOOH network management system that powers spectacular billboards, from day-to-day operations to ad sales and campaign reporting.

Classics, Collections & Renewal
June 1, 2008 June 1, 2011 Dan Acree
This article appeared in the Summer 2008 issue of Texoma Living!.
This issue's Style section is filled with memories. In our first feature we take you inside the home of a Texoma couple whose business life took them to places far away. They met new people, experienced very different cultures, and fell in love with the art and architecture of Asia. During their travel, whenever possible, they acquired objects large and small, and stored them to be shipped back to their Texas home. For homeowners Randy and Holly, their collection became more than a few items on a shelf. In fact, many of the wonderful things they found became actual parts of their home as it was being constructed. Just beyond the entry you are faced with a massive wooden wall. It is exactly what it appears to be—a pair of palace gates. "We found these in a shop in Bangkok, Thailand, but they are Chinese," Randy recalls. On the previous pages you've seen four classic cars that any man would be happy to make space for in his garage. We started our search for "cool convertibles" with Sherman's Jim Leinart, who we imagined would have a lead on other enthusiasts like himself. A few phone calls later we had lined up Jim's '65 Corvette, Richard Schell's '68 Ford Mustang, Milton McAllister's '56 Chevy Bel Air, and Greg Wallace's '69 Chevy Camaro SS. It seemed the perfect location to photograph these wonder years classics was Watson's Drive-In on Main Street in Denison. Finally, we visit a most unusual home. Tom and Karen Shields made their mark on Sherman with the purchase and renovation of the Steam Laundry building in the '90s. Their latest project: the transition of an abandoned city fire station into a stunning private residence. Enjoy and be inspired!
-Cathy Davis
Randy and Holly have been back home in Sherman for a while. Randy—now retired— is no longer required to travel to faraway places for his manufacturing management job with a Fortune 50 company. "We had been in India only a few weeks when we discovered an antique dealer in the famous Malabar Hill section of Bombay. A middle-aged lady ran a shop out of her home that spread to the grounds of her modest estate. Every garage, storage area and corner was filled with wonderful delights, including an actual Gujarati (Gujarat is a state in western India) house front with elaborate carvings. It took three years to complete the purchase, but today it serves as a headboard in our master bedroom," said Holly.
"On our first of several visits to Agra, India, home of the Taj Mahal, our guide took us to a shop that sold inlaid marble articles. As we learned on later trips, this was normal procedure, because after touring the Taj, most folks wanted to purchase an inlaid marble souvenir. It made perfect sense, as the Taj Mahal is more than a monument made of white marble. It is in fact actually inlaid with semiprecious stones. Descendants of the craftsmen who built the Taj Mahal still used their skills handed down from each generation," said Randy.
The inlaid marble table top became the centerpiece of a one-of-a-kind breakfast table in Randy's and Holly's home.
"There were many objects made with inlaid marble designed in intricate patterns. I had my heart set on an inlaid table top, but the prices being quoted were more than I had budgeted. Back in Bombay, a Sindhi merchant we had befriended suggested he knew another merchant who had a reliable and affordable source. Before long we had contracted the project and set out to find the marble. We shipped the beautiful slab of green marble—variegated with whites and blues—to Agra through our contact. What seems like years was actually months, but soon our table was ready. It was stunning—beyond what we expected—designed to the pattern we had furnished and inlaid with lapis, coral, jade, agate, quartz and other semiprecious stone," said Holly.
"The Taj Mahal is actually a mausoleum built under the direction of Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his favorite wife, Mumtaz Mahal. "The Taj" is considered the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines Persian, Turkish, Indian and Islamic influences. Legend has it that Shah Jahan had the marble carvers' hands amputated upon completion of the project so that they could not duplicate the beauty of the mausoleum," said Holly.
"On one of our many trips to Hong Kong, we visited the state-owned Chinese Arts & Crafts Emporium. This is no Canton Trade Days. Since World War II Hong Kong has been the gateway to China, and the Emporium had been one of the only ways to put your hands on the wonders of Mainland China. A multi-storied department store with several locations in Hong Kong, the Emporium holds many treasures. As we moved from floor to floor and aisle to aisle, we soon came upon an elaborate ceremonial sleeveless robe— magnificently ornate. We glanced at the tag and knew instantly something was not right. The price was drastically low. A nearby sales clerk seemed embarrassed and asked us to please wait while she consulted her manager," said Holly.
The ceremonial robe.
"Of course, we knew the robe was incorrectly priced. The manager arrived, looked at the tag, looked at us, looked at the sales clerk, looked at his feet, and left us standing there while he took the robe to the Store Manager. Remember, we knew the price was wrong, but we decided to play it out and see what might happen. Meanwhile, customers came and went from the sales desk while we patiently waited for the obvious decision. Upon his return, the floor manager politely told us the robe was ours to purchase at the price on the tag because it was their error, not ours and telling us we could not have it at the price marked would have caused him to 'lose face,' a serious matter in the Asian culture. The robe hangs on a main wall in our home as a reminder of the dignity and humility of the Asian culture."

Texoma's Multi-Million Dollar Homes
We pass them on our way to work. Situated on a well-manicured landscaped hill, tucked deep into a stand of old-growth oaks, or sitting stately in the center of a large parcel of acreage, surrounded by pristine white pipe and wire fencing, at the end of a private road. They are Texoma's Multi-Million Dollar Homes.


Health professionals, policy makers and individuals can potentially improve the chances of having a healthier life by addressing the complex interactions between genetics, development, and life events and lifestyles. Although lacking a neat explanation, calorie restriction is one of the most promising avenues for improving health and how long it lasts in our lives. There was nothing in what we saw that made us think caloric restriction doesn't work in people," says Roberts, from the Calerie trial. And, unlike drug-based treatments, it doesn't come with a long list of possible side effects. Our people were not hungrier, their mood was fine, their sexual function was fine. We looked pretty hard for bad things and didn't find them," says Roberts.
The Heart Foundation community-based walking groups are free and led by volunteers, to help people stay active and take better care of their heart health. There is a group to suit everyone, including people over 50 years old, parents with children, workplaces and cultural groups. To find the nearest local walking group and to register online visit the Heart Foundation website.

Early lifeEdit
Durante was born on February 10, 1893 in Brooklyn, New York. His family were Italian Catholics.[1][2] He studied at the Saint Malachy's Roman Catholic Church (also known as The Actors' Chapel).[3]
Durante in his last role in It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, 1963
Durante started acting in movies in the 1930s. He worked in comedy series with silent movie legend Buster Keaton. He later appeared in The Wet Parade (1932), Broadway to Hollywood (1933), The Man Who Came to Dinner (1942, playing "Banjo", a character based on Harpo Marx), Ziegfeld Follies (1946), Billy Rose's Jumbo (1962, based on the 1935 musical) and It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963).
On September 10, 1933, Durante appeared on Eddie Cantor's radio show, The Chase and Sanborn Hour. He worked on the show until November 12 of that year. When Cantor later left, Durante took over the show as its star from April 22 to September 30, 1934. He then moved on to The Jumbo Fire Chief Program (1935–36).
On August 4, 1955, The Jimmy Durante Show on NBC was the venue of the final role by the famous Brazilian singer Carmen Miranda. Miranda fell to her knees while dancing with Durante, who quickly told the band, "STOP--the music!" He helped Miranda up to her feet as she laughed, "I'm all out of breath!". He repled, "That's OK, honey, I'll take your lines." Miranda laughed again and quickly pulled herself together and finished the show. However, the next morning, August 5, Miranda died at home from another heart attack.
MarriagesEdit

Just like any business under the sun, having returning customers is going to be your main priority as those types of customers are the ones that are bringing you the most value. This can be doing business or simply referring you to their friends. This is also called word of mouth marketing which is the most powerful marketing strategy ever.
In this blog, we will show you exactly how you can create an Email marketing campaign for your beauty salon and ensure that your current and future customers return and continue to do business with you in the long-term.
This is quite straightforward. You need people's e-mails in order to do e-mail marketing. Don't know how to do that effectively without being alloying? Don't worry, we will show you right now.
If you have a strong online presence, you can simply ask your customers to enter their e-mail address into a pre-made landing page. What we do recommend that you do is provide something in return of a client's e-mail. It can be anything from a discount, voucher or a draw for a giveaway. This will make your ask for their e-mail address less annoying and more valuable to them as they will get something in return.
If you don't have any online presence, you can start small from your salon. Apply the same strategy and do it manually right before the client leaves your salon.
This is very important. You should plan your content ahead and make sure that everything is perfect before you send out the e-mails. Anything from spelling mistakes to having engaging titles will make a lot of difference in the success of your campaign.
While you want your e-mails to be promotional as you are, at the end of the day, trying to make a profit as you are a business, it is important for you to think about the customer too and provide them with valuable information where you can. Being digital marketing experts for the last decade, we have learned that it's better to provide valuable content and have your sales pitch within the content itself. It works much better than sending out a pure promotional e-mail.
Planning out your content ahead is also important for big holiday seasons. Black Friday, Christmas, Easter and other all provide you with an opportunity to pitch a discounted service to your e-mail list. People are much keener and likelier to spend more money during the hype of the holiday season.
Once you have a sufficient e-mail list, it is time for you to experiment and get to know your consumers better. Before you do collect the e-mails, what we recommend is that you categorise your clients by their interests (you can ask for that through a survey). This way, each of your e-mail campaigns is likelier to be more successful as you send the right deals and products/services to the people that are more likely to be interested based on the information that they have given from the survey.
Once you know your customers' interest, it is time to start experimenting and making each e-mail campaign better and adjusting it based on the data that you gather along the way.
E-mail marketing is still a very profitable marketing method that many businesses across the world still use. The best tip that we can give you is to just be yourself when you are representing your salon and get to know your customers. That way you will know exactly what they want and you can cater your e-mail marketing campaigns around that.
If you need help with e-mail marketing, please get in touch with our DubSEO marketing team at hello@dubseo.co.uk. We would be very happy to help you.
