VIDEO: The Complete Guide To Marvel Movie Owning Rights
by L.D. Nolan
– on Jan 26, 2019
Although comic book movies have grossed billions of dollars worldwide, there was a time when making one seemed like a gamble. With over $17 billion earned across 20 films, the Marvel Cinematic Universe is probably the most successful superhero franchise in history, proving that superheroes work on the big-screen. However, there are a lot of characters that Marvel Studios can't use thanks to past financial troubles. The rights issues surrounding various Marvel characters can get complex, so we've made a video outlining the history of the rights to various Marvel characters.
As it looks like Disney's impending acquisition of key assets from 21st Century Fox will go through, there's a pretty good chance that a number of characters -- including the Fantastic Four and the X-Men -- will be available for use in the MCU. However, there are a number of other characters for whom the future is a lot less certain.

Check out the video below for a complete guide to the various rights issues surrounding various Marvel characters.
Whether Marvel Studios will ever regain the rights to Spider-Man and his associated characters from Sony Pictures is hard to predict. Considering the massive success that was Venom, it seems unlikely that Sony will part with the rights any time soon. However, there was once a time in which it seemed impossible for a live-action X-Men team to share the screen with any member of the MCU's Avengers, so that might not be a problem that continues forever.
There's also the matter of Bruce Banner/Hulk, who has an incredibly complex rights history. In 2017, actor Mark Ruffalo remarked another solo film focused on his Bruce Banner/Hulk wouldn't happen. As it stands, there's little chance the character will appear outside of another hero's film.

What is Student Engagement?
Equity in Higher Education
To truly become student-ready, educators must make difficult decisions, face the pressures of accountability, and address their preconceived notions about student success head on. Student engagement has many meanings. Student engagement is generally accepted as being connected to academic success, retention, learning, and the student experience. It's a guiding force at most higher education institutions. Educational and purposeful opportunities for engagement are critical to student success. In education, student engagement refers to the degree of attention, curiosity, interest, optimism, and passion that students show when they are learning or being taught; which extends to the level of motivation they must learn and progress in their education.
Student engagement is the energy and effort that students employ within their learning community, observable via any number of behavioral, cognitive or affective indicators across a continuum. It is shaped by a range of structural and internal influences, including the complex interplay of relationships, learning activities, and the learning environment. The more students are engaged and empowered within their learning community, the more likely they are to channel that energy back into their learning—leading to a range of short- and long-term outcomes that will likely further their engagement.
Characteristics of an Engaged Student
Self-determined
Self-sufficient
Interactive with peers
Skilled at problem-solving
Immersed in learning tasks
Curious and interested
Committed to enjoyment of the process
Positive towards learning
Willing to respond to challenges
Dimensions and Indicators of Student Engagement
There are three widely accepted dimensions of student engagement:
Affective
Within each component there are several indicators of engagement as well as disengagement; which is now seen as a separate and distinct construct to engagement. It should be stated, however, that whilst these have been drawn from a range of literature, this is not a finite list, and it is recognized that students might experience these indicators on a continuum at varying times depending on their valence (positive or negative) and activation (high or low).
National Survey of Student Engagement (NSSE)
The NSSE organization defines student engagement as "the amount of time and effort students put into their studies and other educationally purposeful activities" and "how [an] institution deploys its resources and organizes [its] curriculum and other learning opportunities to get students to participate in activities that decades of research studies show are linked to student learning."
Sense of Belonging Study
Student Sense of Belonging at Georgetown: First Generation Undergraduate Student Experiences
Early experiences have long-term impact on students' sense of belonging. 83% of student respondents recounted experiences that occurred in their first two years at Georgetown.
The majority of narratives convey a sense of displacement. 52% were identified as contributing to feelings of displacement, while 27% were accounts of belongingness.
Transitional accounts illustrate the fluidity of belonging. 21% of narratives were identified as transitional accounts where respondents shifted from feelings of belonging to displacement or vice versa.
Faculty and classrooms pose challenges to a sense of belonging. 60% of the incidents focusing on classroom experiences contributed to a feeling of displacement.
Social settings and peer groups are common situations that pose challenges to students' sense of belonging. 59% of all stories shared revolved around peer groups. Students report overwhelming alienation from Georgetown peers who don't identify as first-gen/low-income.
Perceived 'fit' with the campus climate strongly influence students' sense of belonging. 53% of student respondents indicated that at the time of their story, campus culture felt "individualistic" with little help to navigate unfamiliar traditions and spaces.
Institutionalized support networks, like Georgetown Scholars Program, contribute positively to students' sense of belonging. 62% of narratives set in institutionalized support networks conveyed situations in which respondents felt a positive sense of belonging, while 14% conveyed feelings of displacement. Members of GSP are more likely to report support from Georgetown students who also identify as first-gen/low-income than students who aren't members of GSP.
The Division of Student Affairs is committed to a transformative education experience for our students. An institutional priority of Student Affairs is to strategically align all co-curricular programs and services in the Division with the five domains of the Co-Curricular Model (CCM). The co-curricular model provides a framework for planning and assessing programs and services to support an integrated learning environment in which students are empowered to apply the knowledge and skills learned in the classroom through a myriad of intentional learning opportunities; creating graduates who are valued and successful in the global workforce.

Dr John Cuthell of MIrandanet likes to ask people what was their 'wow' moment, that nanosecond in which they realised that technology had something truly transformative to offer.
That 'wow' moment!For me, that moment came in 1976. Interestingly, I had already been using technology, but at one remove. I was teaching Economics at the time, and in order to familiarise my students with the vagaries of the stock market, I enrolled them in a game called Stockpiler. The idea was that you were 'given' a certain amount of money, and the students' job was to use that to maximise their profit through the buying and selling of shares.
Each week they would pore over the share prices and, having spent their 'spare' time (I didn't believe in such concepts) in the previous week reading periodicals like The Economist and the newspapers (I'd made sure these were amply available) and then make their decisions.
I would then collect in the forms on which they'd detailed their instructions, and send it off to some central processing place. Around a week later we'd find out how we did.
That was interesting, but it's hard to become excited by the technology when the time between input and output is so high.
About a year after I'd joined the school, a student brought in his computer. He had taught himself to program it, so I asked him to knock up a quick program to emulate a concept called 'the multiplier'. He did so, and the rest of us crowded around the screen. When we saw the numbers responding instantly to the suggestions we threw at him ('Make the interest rate 12%'; 'Lower income tax to zero'), I knew things could never be the same. With this technology it would be possible to model the behaviour of systems and show instantly the effect of changes in inputs on the outcomes.
That was my 'wow' moment. What was yours?
I forgot to say, the reason this blog post came about was that Sandra Crapper and I were discussing this topic, the 'wow' moment, at the BETT Show.
BETT looks to be a biggie this, its 26th, year.
The government has spent (I think) £5b since 1997 on educational ICT, and BETT is the largest educational technology event in the world, apparently. Last year 25% of visitors were from overseas.
Apparently the Home Access programme is going to be widened, so listen out for that.
Stephen Heppell: we're in the post-appropriation phase. But we can't appropriate any more: we can't reel in what the kids are doing, we have to go where they are!
Also, what kids' play is these days is engaging and seductive: using GPS for example,, so it should be worth checking out Prof Heppell's Google-sponsored Playful Learning.
Some welcome news: according to Ray Barker of BESA, Ministers from around the world are now recognising what we old hands have always known: it's not the technology, but the people, that makes the difference!
Great quotable statement from Heppell: we've been very lucky: we've been able to do 19th century teaching with a bit of 21st century gloss!
I've discovered a problem when using my netbook to write blog posts in Squarespace: I can't see the 'tags' section on the screen, and so have to ad tags when I get onto a big computer. Please bear with me!

James Packer's Crown Resorts is facing investigations by federal money laundering authorities and casino regulators in at least two states after Wednesday's explosive allegations of tampering with poker machines and avoiding reporting of cash transactions at Crown's Melbourne casino.
Anti-gambling campaigner and MP Andrew Wilkie tabled a video in federal parliament containing the serious allegations made by three former Crown employees.
He said he had verified their identities. One appeared to be a poker machine technician, while one other was a gaming room attendant.
Crown has rejected the allegations of illegal or improper conduct, but has so far only made a brief statement to the Australian stock exchange.
A spokeswoman for Austrac, the federal authority responsible for monitoring cash transactions over $10,000, said it was investigating and regarded the allegations as serious.
One whistleblower in the video claimed he had witnessed other people's identity documents being used to process transactions of gamblers who had issues with being identified to Austrac.
Casinos are high-risk venues for washing the proceeds of crime and authorities rely on management to assist them in identifying suspicious transactions. Compliance is also part of their licence conditions.
The Victorian Commission for Gambling and Liquor Regulation, which has oversight of Crown Melbourne and is currently undertaking the five-year review of the Victorian licence, said it would be investigating immediately.
But the whistleblowers also accused the commission of being complicit in the breaches, saying it did not make the sort of inquiries needed to uncover the tampering they allege happened.
The commission said it had taken active steps over the past 12 months to improve its level of supervision of the casino. This included establishing a specialist dedicated casino team.
Crown is also facing issues with regulators in New South Wales, where it has been granted a licence for a high-rollers casino to be built at Barangaroo. In Western Australia it has the Crown Burswood casino.
Most casino licences require the operator to be fit and proper and so a breach of the Melbourne licence would have ramifications for other states.
The NSW Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority (ILGA) and Liquor and Gaming NSW said they were closely monitoring these allegations against Crown's Melbourne casino.
"ILGA has ongoing responsibility to consider whether casino operators in NSW and their associates are suitable to hold a licence. Where appropriate, ILGA can issue directions and undertake disciplinary action," a spokesman said.
The whistleblowers' identities were heavily disguised and Wilkie – himself a whistleblower some years ago – said it was up to the individuals to decide whether to go to federal and state authorities.
Wilkie wants the Senate to set up a parliamentary inquiry so that whistleblowers have the protection of parliamentary privilege when giving evidence.
Crown shares fell by 6% on Wednesday from $11.76 before recovering slightly. But they were down a further 1% on Thursday at $11.08 at mid-morning.

Q: Nuxt auth returns me Bearer Bearer token I am performing an authentication system with nuxtjs/auth, the main problem is that the token is sent from the back as follows: Bearer token...
When nuxtjs/auth processes it, it adds another Bearer to the beginning, being as follows: Bearer Bearer eyJhbGciOiJIUzU...
How can it be avoided?
Here I have my strategy:
  withoutotp: {
    _scheme: 'local',
    endpoints: {
      login: {
        url: '/users/v2/auth/bel',
        method: 'post',
        propertyName: 'response'
      },
      user: {
        url: '/users/v2/clients',
        method: 'get',
        propertyName: 'response'
      },
      logout: {
        url: '/users/v2/auth/logout',
        method: 'post'
      }
    }
  },

A: When you do have your string, use a slice(7) on it to remove the first Bearer.

A: Just try setting tokenType: false in options. It worked for me


A problem we did not anticipate is that we still have 10% of our backers who have not yet filled in their survey. Of course we realise this is not the ideal time of year, with people on vacation. Still can we ask our backers to please log onto Backerkit, and complete their colour preferences, enter their shipping address, etc.
In addition we'll e-mail the 91 people concerned to ask them to quickly respond with their choices.
We could simply send everyone silver frontframe plates to those who have not yet specified their frontframe plate colour choice, but unfortunately it's not as simple as that because of the issue of the COLOUR MIX options, where some backers still need to specify their basic FS-X colour choice. Obviously we don't want to make this choice for them.
For obvious reasons we need this done before we can begin final production let alone shipping.
Contrary to what we wrote in update #23 we will include stickers but not left and right (speaker) stickers. This is because we have further improved the system, so in stereo wireless mode there will be a different LED colour to indicate which one is the master and which one is the slave speaker (so basically you don't need the left and right stickers).
Don't worry we will update on how the Bluetooth pairing sequence and stereo operation work this weekend.
We really like it and think it represents our brand very well.
Also it comunicates what we're trying to do with the Frankenspiel brand.
The image of the logo on the black box is ment to give a representation of how it would look like in the context of a retail box.

@ Lee Gibson: When the FS-Xs have been shipped to the UK distribution centre we will get in touch with you to re-confirm your UK shipping address before the package gets sent to you. At this moment we don't yet know through which courier the packages will be sent from the distribution centre.
In the UK that is.
I'm moving house this month, this is going to be interesting. Who are they going to be sent through?
@creator - We cant wait till we get them. i want it for a 3 week trip! do you think a U.S. backer should get it before aug 18?
Oops! Oh, the irony of apologising for a misunderstanding and creating another misunderstanding.
Thanks for your patience backers, we can't wait to send these speakers to you!
Hi all, thank you for bringing this to our attention. You are 100% right and the vast majority of you who have selected your colour scheme shouldn't be penalised for those who haven't.
Our intentions were to direct that particular comment about delaying the shipping date to those who hadn't sent us their colour choice (for obvious reasons) and not to those who had (for the reasons you've stated in the comments). But, we completely understand that it was interpreted the wrong way - we should have been more clear!
We are still on schedule to deliver to those who have selected their colour choices by mid-August, exact dates to be confirmed shortly.
Sorry for the misunderstanding, we can't wait to get our speakers to you.
Excellent logo, very classy. Looking forward to the final product.
There should be a deadline! I think a couple of days should be enough... You can't get 100% to respond and I'm not going to wait any longer because one person doesn't respond.
"For obvious reasons we need this done before we can begin final production let alone shipping."
Not obvious. If they do not respond they will have to settle for some default color.
Also, most likely, the remaining 10% will prefer colors much in the same distribution the first 90% did. Therefor adding 11% of each combination currently prefered should mean that most people get the colors they want.
Delays because of this is not OK.
The delay is unreasonable, you should always put a deadline for survey respond. You can never get 100 % survey respond.
If you have a genuine reason for delay in production, its a different matter. But, the non-responders cannot be an excuse in any way for a delay.
They should get any colour which you put into production and the frontframe plate as well of your choice.
This delay is awful. I need these speakers for a trip I'm taking in a month. You're screwing your customers who held up their end to protect those who can't be bothered to do a simple task. This is no way to run a business!
It's not unreasonable to have a cut off date for the colour choices. Why not email the 91 people to let them know that they need to complete their final choice within say 5 days and that they will be given black by default if they don't specify another colour before then.
Cool new logo! So, for those of us that have filled out our backer kit. Are we still on schedule to get our unit in august?
Love the new Logo...very Metallica-esque, very cool, and I think will stand out for product recognition well. Keep up the good work.
Can we have a scaled drawing of the logo on the front of the speaker as it is intended to appear?
The 'S' doesn't stand out to me on the new logo but otherwise I think it's a great logo. Note to self - simplify, simplify, simplify.
OMG! i like past logo! and i want that, don't like new logo!!!!

Nova Credit enables immigrants to import their credit history across borders to access better loans. If you're coming to the US from overseas, US lenders can't access your credit history from back home, so you'll find it very hard to get any kind of credit. We sat down with Nicky Goulimis, Loek Janssen, and Misha Esipov to talk about how they're changing the way immigrants access credit.
YC : How did you come up with this idea? Misha: Our entire founding team emigrated to the US so we've all struggled with many iterations of this problem. It became really clear when our friends at business school ran into barriers that prevented them from accessing things like a phone plan or a credit card because they didn't have any credit in the United States. We thought of bringing their credit score to the U.S. to help lenders make better decisions–that idea turned into Nova Credit.
YC : What were people doing before if they didn't have credit? Nicky: We've seen some duct tape solutions like building credit from zero and hoping to access the things you need as soon as possible. Some people open a trade line from their home country and pay a really high APR.
Immigration is really a vulnerable time period for individuals so their credit needs are even higher. If you're moving to a new country you'll probably need to lease a car and rent an apartment. If you don't have credit you'll have to pay a huge deposit so the need for a credit line is the actually most acute during immigration.
Misha: And it's not just your average person who gets locked out either. A lender that worked with a lot of university students said that they had to reject a visiting faculty member from Harvard for a $1,000 credit line. If this is a problem for someone who is financially well off, imagine how hard it is for those who aren't as financially secure.
YC : That sounds like a stressful scenario. How does Nova Credit change all that? Misha: We've simplified the entire process of accessing international credit data. What happens right now is that a lot of immigrants will walk into a US lender and apply for a loan. Their application gets flagged because when the lender tries to pull up their credit report, the result is null.
When you log onto Nova Credit, you enter some demographic information and we'll pull their credit data from overseas. We ping the APIs of our foreign credit partners and they send over their raw credit data. This data comes in different languages and formats so we'll reformat and standardize it into a single, English credit report. From there, you can use our platform to look for the types of loans and credit lines that you need.
Nicky: There are two really cool things about what we're doing. Grabbing credit data just by pinging an API sounds really easy but it's actually quite difficult because of regulation around consumer data and how you move it overseas. So, the fact that we're able to pull this data in a matter of seconds is pretty amazing. The second part is on the compliance side. We get data sources in many types, languages, regulation levels, and templates. Loek has been able to grab all this information and turn it into one standardized report called the Nova Credit Passport, which can be used by every single immigrant around the world.
YC : Why hasn't anyone built this yet?
Misha: There are a few reasons. Immigration flows are higher than ever and will continue to grow. There's also been a proliferation of credit bureaus. Fifteen years ago there were only 30 to 40 credit bureaus, but now there are more than 200. Every country has at least one because it supports a healthy and transparent consumer credit system.
YC : What's your long-term vision for Nova Credit? Misha: We want to become the world standard for cross-border credit reporting. If you want to move across any border, we'll be the channel through which you port your credit history. We want to allow credit history to flow back to a home country, too. Eventually, we want to enable any individual going from one country to move their credit to another seamlessly. You should be able to route information from India through us into the UK and then all the way back.

New Review: Bedford, Freeman & Worth's (BFW) Calculus for the AP Course (Sullivan), 2nd Edition
Learning List has reviewed print materials for Bedford, Freeman & Worth's (BFW) Calculus for the AP Course (Sullivan), 2nd Edition. This comprehensive product supports instruction in Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC courses. Content is available in print and digital formats.
Calculus for the AP Course begins with a "Chapter P: Preparing for Calculus" review of functions (e.g., inverse, logarithmic, exponential), sequences, summation notation, and the Binomial Theorem. Core content is presented in 11 chapters that cover limits and continuity, the derivative and its applications, integrals, the techniques and applications of integration, series, parametric equations, polar equations, and vector functions.
Instruction is project-based and focuses on the application of calculus to real-world problems. Each chapter opens with a case study of a real-world problem (e.g., managing a river's flow) that students will solve when they have completed the chapter. The text provides many example problems with detailed step-by-step solutions, and annotations that describe the mathematical reasoning supporting each step. Examples include problems that illustrate the real-world applications of what students are learning (e.g., constructing a rain gutter).
About BFW*
BFW believes that what happens in the classroom matters, and that a good class, a good teacher, and good content have the power to change the world—one student and one idea at a time. BFW products have long been best-sellers for AP courses. Now, in response to the needs of teachers across the country, BFW offers materials for Common Core, elective courses, and on-level programs aligned to NGSS.

New Review: CPM Educational Program's AP Calculus, 3rd Edition
CPM Educational Program's AP Calculus, 3rd Edition is a comprehensive single-variable calculus text that supports instruction in Advanced Placement (AP) Calculus AB and AP Calculus BC courses. Resources are available in print and eBook formats. Learning List recently reviewed eBook materials for AP Calculus AB and BC. Reviewers found the College Board's big ideas, enduring understandings, and essential knowledge for AP Calculus AB and BC to be well addressed in course resources. Reviewers said that the course covers these concepts effectively in a rigorous, non-traditional format that requires students to investigate and connect new concepts and strategies.
CPM's Calculus non-traditional approach to presenting content does not include some familiar features of a mathematics text, such as an instructional narrative and example problems with step-by-step solutions. Instead, instruction emphasizes "Study Teams" made up of two to four students who work together to discover strategies and solutions. Teams work together to answer questions, justify their reasoning, and identify multiple solution strategies. The teachers' role is to encourage students' teamwork, facilitate discussions, and provide support when teams encounter questions they are unable to answer. Learning List's reviewers noted that CPM's inquiry-based approach to instruction facilitates the integration of the College Board's Mathematical Practices for AP Calculus (MPACs), explaining that students use the MPACs each day in their work in Study Teams.
Teacher resources include background and strategies (e.g., Math Chat) to support the implementation of Study Teams. Many lessons also include recorded podcasts, or "Mathcasts," in which an expert teacher walks users through the lesson providing background information and suggesting teaching strategies. A "Teacher Support" appendix provides information about the course's interactive math tools, links to each Mathcast video, printable resources for some lessons (e.g., polar graph paper), professional development information, SmartBoard files for each chapter, CPM Newsletters, and errata files.
CPM Educational Program has created a webinar introduction to AP Calculus, 3rd Edition. Subscribers may view the webinar on the product's homepage on Learninglist.com.

Mike and Sharon's romance developed into a wonderful marriage during their time together at college. Mike's future wife was impressed by his drive, dedication, and love of football when he was a young man, maybe foreshadowing his incredible career as an offensive coordinator in college football.
Once he took the post of OC at the University of Kentucky, his determination and dedication made it possible for Sharon to give up her career as a legal secretary and administrative assistant of 14 years in order to stay at home with their children.
Since then, they've built upon the solid groundwork they laid during their time at BYU to embark on a remarkable adventure that serves as a model for any couple's commitment and steadfastness.
Over the course of their 33 years of marriage, Mike and Sharon Leach have welcomed three girls and a son.
Mrs. Leach is a fantastic housewife who keeps the household running smoothly while Mike is busy coaching the college football team.
Although there has been speculation as to Mike's hospitalization, no concrete evidence has yet surfaced to confirm the rumors.

Mike Leach has established himself as a leading head coach in the NCAA thanks to his bold demeanor and knack for coming up with novel approaches.
He coached Texas Tech to their greatest season since 1938 (11-2) and a Cotton Bowl triumph, and then went on to Washington State University, where he revived a flagging football program and became its all-time winningest coach.
As a result of his offensive mindset, WSU's offensive output was nearly entirely revamped, and the school set a number of Pac-12 offensive records.
Leach transferred to Mississippi State University, where he instilled much-needed youth and vigor. He became known as one of the most exciting coaches in college football because of his achievements.
Given Mike Leach's rising star status, we've included an estimate of his current wealth. His $8 million fortune, according to allfamousbirthday.com.

Sculptural, mostly monochrome bodies, related to crystals yet meticulously constructed: this is jewelry by Babette von Dohnanyi. Her Mirror Hero chain combines flat, smoothly polished forms made of synthetic polymer with slender bars of blackened silver to form shiny and irregular mirrors that create lively spaces. And her Rocks ring answers two questions: can a stone be reproduced in metal? And can it then come alive as a piece of jewelry? "Art needs no explanation," she says. With each new design she prefers to leave first imprresions to the observer, to leave space for their feelings and thoughts.

Weekend Getaways for Spring 2021
Everyone could use a vacation right now. Check out these eight safe and convenient spots, ripe for exploration.
Emmett Burnett
COVID changed us all. Our social lives moved online, our work is from makeshift living room offices and we grocery shop wearing masks like ninja warriors on the dairy aisle. But in our land of social distancing, there is a need to get away, relax, and travel to a time when Corona meant Mexican beer.
Here are eight such nearby places that fill travel needs: close to home, COVID compliant and offering a great experience in a pandemic world.
Jubilee Suites
Dana Maloney defines "jubilee" as "bountiful, fresh starts and rejuvenation." Thus, Jubilee Suites, co-owned by Dana and husband Jim Maloney, is well named. In Fairhope, overlooking Mobile Bay, the seven-suites boutique hotel is all things jubilee and more. You should see the sunsets.
Dana describes the view: "Fish jumping and birds singing as the sun sets over Mobile Bay is like looking into the gates of heaven." You cannot equal nature but Jubilee Suites comes awfully close.
The complex was built in the 1940s as a Brookley military base convalescent center. After World War II, it became Fairhope Apartments and then a bed and breakfast. The Maloneys purchased the potential paradise in 2018, refurbishing, remodeling and rebranding it into a destination 30 minutes from Mobile.
Each family-size suite offers a full kitchen, dining and living areas, bathrooms, linens, toiletries, washer and dryer, smart TV and Wi-Fi. Dana's treats, "baked according to the seasons," are served daily.
One can be as social or as isolated as they wish. "Some guests come in with a sack of groceries and we don't see them for three days," Dana laughs. "But when we do see them, they are so relaxed that they look much younger."
All have access to Mobile Bay beaches and the surrounding area. Kayaking, birdwatching and exploring are popular. Others take another trail, in pursuit of downtown Fairhope. It's within walking distance.
Spending a few hours or a few days shopping, exploring and experiencing one of Alabama's prettiest cities and returning to Jubilee Suites could be a Hallmark movie setting, but it's real. And it's real good.
Don't Miss It
Jubilee Suites partners with local food blogger Kristin Alpine of Wildflowers and Fresh Food for private cooking classes overlooking the Bay. With an emphasis on healthy eating and local ingredients, the classes will leave you perfectly full, yet hungry for more.
Lakewood Plantation
Livingston, AL
There are those who find it enjoyable to be pampered in an opulent Southern mansion rivaling antebellum castles of "Gone with the Wind." Go figure.
One such dwelling of splendor is The Venue at Lakewood in Livingston, Alabama. Built in 1832, the two-and-a-half story Greek revival estate speaks of the grandeur, charm and elegance of a bygone era, yet back again. And this time, it is yours.
Guests can rent the entire estate — 6,700 square feet, seven bedrooms, three baths, 14-foot ceilings and a stunning wood-railed staircase brides descend to proclaim, "I do."
Or you can rent a room that offers access to a bath, kitchen and living space in the house where "Gone with the Wind" meets modern-day conveniences.
"I was raised here," says Sidney Freeman who, at age 22 with now-husband Jake, painstakingly restored the home handed down through generations. "I knew its historical significance," she adds about the house she and Jake were married in.
The property, featured in Southern Living, is a short walk to The University of West Alabama. School President Julia Tutwiler resided here from 1881 to 1910, when UWA was Livingston Normal College.
Guests able to peel themselves away from the house (which isn't easy) enjoy nature trails abundant with birds, deer, fishing and adventure. Nearby Ft. Tombecbe has been recently excavated and is a popular exploration spot. The Sumter County garrison was constructed in 1736 under the direction of Jean-Baptiste Le Moyne de Bienville, a founder of Mobile — small world.
Lakewood, and the opportunity for individuals or an entire family to rent a Southern Mansion, is, to say the least, wonderfully unique.
"This is a great getaway place for vacationers, honeymooners, wedding parties or entire families," Sidney adds. "I think the trend in travel during COVID is small towns with local hospitality venues. That is what we pride ourselves in offering."
St. Francisville Inn
St. Franscisville, LA
One does not merely check in at the St. Francisville Inn; one absorbs it. One melds with the pre-COVID era of Old Louisiana's splendor. Laissez les bons temps rouler — let the good times roll, and sign me up.
A cornerstone of the town, the boutique hotel offers five-star dining at its signature eatery, The Saint Restaurant and Bar. Modeled after European pubs and bars of New Orleans, the Saint is as beautiful to look at as it is to eat in. Gourmet meals of Louisiana / New Orleans-style cooking prepared by master chefs is beautiful, too. Poolside service is available as well, or enjoy cocktails in rocking chairs on the porch.
The Inn's lodging includes 11 rooms, each unique with architectural features and furnishings. Great attention is paid to details, such as custom plush linens, L'Occitane soaps and lotions in bathrooms, and marble showers. If reading this made you mellow, know that the best of Louisiana awaits.
St. Francisville is the perfect homebase for exploring the breathtaking plantations alongside Louisiana's River Road. Grand architecture, historic sights and fascinating museums bring to life the complicated history of the South and its sugar barons.
Point Clear, AL
The problem most people have with the Grand Hotel Golf Resort and Spa Autograph Collection is leaving it. Nobody wants to, and why would they? "The Queen of Southern Resorts" in Point Clear has it all. Just ask Colin Powell, Margaret Thatcher, George W. Bush, Barbara Bush, Dolly Parton, Fannie Flagg and Patti Labelle. They've all stayed here.
Unlike most, The Grand is more than lodging. It is a destination. "As one of Marriott's 'Autograph Hotels,' this is a unique stand-alone property," says The Grand's Marketing and Sales Director, Kevin Hellmich.
Championship golf courses, a 20,000-square-foot spa, 10 tennis courts, stunning pool complex and much more of all things grand await. Hungry? Not for long.
Nine eateries, including restaurants, cafes, and bars offer soup to nuts — and a whole lot of seafood and steaks in between.
Sandy beaches and wonderful views of Mobile Bay from the Eastern Shore accentuate outdoor activities. Or grab a lawn chair and just sit, smile and do absolutely nothing until your heart's content.
Over the past five years, the Grand has received extensive transformations and upgrades," Hellmich adds. "We have modernized, but at the same time, kept its historic aspects in place." The revisions enhance, not change, the resort complex built in 1847 and having once served as a Confederate hospital.
But one change now in effect is the Grand's COVID policies and practices. Hand sanitizer stations are located throughout the grounds and facilities. Poolside seating is arranged in small family-size clusters. Employees and guests don masks as appropriate. All areas and features of The Grand are continuously monitored for COVID compliance.
In entertainment, lodging, fine dining, sports and recreation, the sprawling bayside resort is just that — grand.

Little Point Clear Suites and Space
Hit the trails Little Point Clear is positioned alongside the Eastern Shore Trail, which runs in either director for a total of 22 miles. Locals' best-kept secret, though, is the boardwalk — a path that runs in front of the finest bayfront homes — so take advantage of the free bikes!
Fairhope's Scenic Highway 98 is well named. The word "scenic," like a road running parallel to a seascape painting, certainly comes to mind. Fairhope's scenic highway does not compete with the beauty of Mobile Bay; it complements it.
Take Little Point Clear Suites and Space, for example. Each suite is secluded, spacious, and combines Eastern Shore charm with 2021 conveniences and more. How much more? A private chef more. Yes, your own Emeril Lagasse facsimile can be arranged for personal dinning pleasure.
Private cruises and fishing adventures are also available aboard Little Point Clear's 33-foot and 21-foot charter boats. Voyages are open to families, children of all ages, and private parties for day cruising or to behold the famous Mobile sunsets.
"We also feature complementary bikes, kayaks, paddle boards and a large common area with a fireplace," notes owner-operator Tricia Niemeyer. "We take extensive sanitation measures for COVID compliance. All suites have private entrances and separate HVAC systems."
Little Point Clear is known for its service and hospitality. Guest testimonials rave about attentive staff, whether it was a short stay or entire wedding party weekend. Within a few hours of settling in, the experience resembles days on a tropical bayside plantation. Yet gazing across the water with binoculars, you can probably see where you work in Mobile. Maybe put the binoculars down.
Weeks Bay Plantation
The year was pre-COVID 1971. Masks were worn by surgeons, bank robbers, the Lone Ranger and that's about it. But the Airstream, a silver bullet forerunner of the modern RV, ruled the road and still does. You cannot drive it, nor would you want to, because off-road nostalgic lodging is perfect right where it is — down on the farm at Weeks Bay Plantation.
Billed as a step above tent camping, the unit features one bed (sleeps one or two people), one couch, a full kitchen, air-conditioning, shower and toilet. A deck is attached for outdoor dining, great conversation and lakeside access. "Everybody loves it," says Heather Rothstein of Weeks Bay Plantation. "We have people from nearby, around the state, across the country and other countries enjoying the stay." What's not to like?
The vintage Airstream has been refurbished to its former glory with added modern conveniences. Weeks Bay Plantation owner Tynes Stringfellow notes, "The Airstream was so well made, most of the lighting, electrical and mechanical devices are original and still work."
Tynes found the Airstream by the side of the road near Foley. He obtained, restored and repurposed it into the stationary RV about five years ago. In addition to being lakeside, the unit is within walking distance to Weeks Bay's blueberry picking fields.
"We are about 30 minutes from Mobile," Heather adds. "The Airstream is the perfect COVID-friendly place. Everything is spread out in fresh air and clean water."
In addition to the Airstream, for lodging just as cute but less metallic, Weeks Bay Plantation offers the Bungalow. Features include a twin bed, shower, fridge, microwave and deck overlooking a 10-acre lake. Also on the lake is the Bunkhouse. The two bedroom elevated cabin under massive trees is the perfect start for a quiet walk around the farm for a secluded experience. Fish are jumping and cocktails are stirring as the sun is setting — it's a good place to be.
Time your visit just right and your stay can coincide with blueberry harvest on the farm! Savoring the most succulent, organic berries, picked just moments ago, can't be beat.
Fancy Camps
Florida Panhandle
What is more relaxing than pitching a tent in the great outdoors? Having the tent pitched for you by Fancy Camps, an outdoor adventure offering everything except rustic.
Don't be fooled by the word "tent." Think of a canvas palace with a real bed, fresh linens, central heat and cooling and gourmet cupcakes in outdoor luxury. Think of Daniel Boone camping with Martha Stewart.
Based in Florida, Fancy Camps is working with several of the Sunshine State's recreational spots, including Topsail Hill Preserve State Park near Destin. Basically, visitors book the campsite and move in on the appointed day. Awaiting you is a spacious 16-foot Bell Tent with area rugs, end table and lamps, electrical outlets, fresh wildflower bouquets and other such essentials for "roughing it."
Fancy Camp tents are also available for weddings, retreats, music festivals, birthday parties, showers and other events that surely helped pioneers settle the Great Frontier.
Totally Civilized
While Fancy Camps may help you get off the beaten path, their locations are just a stone's throw from some of the best the Florida Panhandle has to offer. When you get tired of s'mores and hot dogs, head into Seaside for some upscale fare.
The Beatnik
Mississippi's "Secret Coast" is a secret no more; South Alabama is finding the Magnolia State's beaches. Leading our neighbor to the west's staycation destinations is the new kid in town, Ocean Spring's Beatnik Hotel.
Ted and Roxy Condrey's hotel experience is like few others. Four modern cabins, featuring wet bars, private gardens and outdoor showers invite guests to — as its website says — "experience a new way to stay."
"We have only been open for a few months but have been well received," Roxy says. "Visitors enjoy the amenities and appreciate the COVID compliance. Social distancing is built into the model."
Each cabin has keyless private entries and porches. Roxy adds, "If you do not want to see anybody the entire time you're here, you can do that. Visitors enjoy meals by the fire pit, lush gardens and the freedom to do as much or as little as they want."
The property is steps away from the beach, and Ocean Springs's vibrant restaurants, arts, museums and shopping district. The spectacular new Mississippi Aquarium is 19 miles away. "Golf cart rentals, biking and walking are popular modes of transportation here," Roxy notes. "You can leave your car for the entire stay."
The name was chosen deliberately. "Beatnik resonated with us," Roxy recalls. During the 1950s and '60s, beatniks rejected material things and waste. In the Beatnik Hotel, everything is purposeful — functional. Rooms are clean, relaxing, of simple design and perfect lodging for individuals or families looking to discover Mississippi's "Secret Coast." Now revealed to everyone.

Corroded seat cables can break and prevent the seat from folding forward to allow passengers or parcels to be placed in the back seat. This new cable fixes this problem long term. The 304 stainless steel will not corrode like the original.
If you are repairing your seat this is a must. Don't put a rusty cable, ready to break, back in before you put your upholstery back on. Just replace it.

An attempt at getting a good sunset tonight – it has been a while. One of the lucky things of living where I do is easy access to the River Severn, which means I can get pretty decent sunset on water shots. I actually prefer these when the tide is out as you get better reflections on the shallower water.
So tonight I went to a new spot, Purton Ships Graveyard, which I had never heard of but spotted on Google Maps (the little camera icon is usually a good sign). I had been waiting for the sunset for about 20 minutes, and actually thought nothing was coming – there was thick grey cloud coming overhead and the sun appeared to have gone. But one thing I have learned from doing this over the last couple of months is that the sun going out of view isn't the end of it.
From then on, it was just a case of waiting for the whole sky to light back up again, and keep shooting.

28 Months Later "In the Works"
For fans of the original Danny Boyle directed and Alex Garland written 28 Days Later, this could be very good news. Certainly Facebook is full of fans singing their little rage filled hearts out at the recent news that Garland released stating that the script for 28 Months Later has been finished and is in the works but he will have nothing further to do with it.
Alex talks backstory a bit, not on the new 28 Days story but about the path taken to get a sequel worthy of the original. In GamesRadar+ the screenwriter talks about Boyle's talking about a Garland written sequel while he focussed upon Trainspotting 2 a couple of years ago.
In reference to the Gamesradar+ story, it should be pointed out that they call the film a "zombie" film, which, technically it is not, the films are post-apocryphal and has nothing to do with hordes of the undead.
At that time Alex said he would write it but did not want any active participation in the project. Producer Andrew MacDonald said that he would take care of it. Regardless of whether the writer wants to work on the project, hopefully this sequel should have the same tones of originality that the first one had in spades. The other thing that 28 Days Later had was that wonderfully haunting music, used in a number of other movies, most notably Kick-Ass where the soundtrack was updated for the "Big Daddy Kills" sequence.
While many still refer to the first two as "zombie" films; the scary attacking people in the verse are not, undead flesh eaters. In 28 Days Later the whole outbreak starts because a few animal rights activists go to release monkies who have been infected with Rage. This virus actually turns the primates into screaming murderous, and enraged, creatures who only want to attack. The virus is transferred to people and poor Cillian Murphy wakes up from a coma to find the world in London has changed for the worse.
The first film was brilliant, the cross plot of the Christopher Eccleston's Army Major, "I promised them women," and the Brendan Gleeson's doomed fatherly cab driver, "Get away," were just icing on the cinematic cake. Naomi Harris and Megan Burns as the women rounded out the casting for this haunting and damned scary film. Boyle proved once again to be the master of celluloid.
Then came the "star studded" 28 Weeks Later. Jeremy Renner, Rose Byrne, Idris Elba, Robert Carlyle and Imogen Poots, in what was her second feature film role, were stuck in an inferior version of Boyle's and Garland's Rage infested England. The first clue that this sequel would be lacking was the noticeable absence of both Boyle and Garland on the project. I liked the film because Carlyle was in it and he brought his own special magic to the role of the man who deserts his wife to the infected and then lies to his kids about it.
Jeremy Renner also made me a fan for life as the sniper with a heart and Idris Elba was not used enough. The story was a pallid follow up to the first film and it was a bit disappointing to not see anything of Murphy and Harris, or for that matter Burns, and their characters.
Apart from Garland's admission that the script is standing by waiting to be greenlit, there is no further information about the project. Considering that the writer has also stated that no one, not even FOX were interested in doing another sequel after 28 Weeks Later does not bode too well for 28 Months Later.
If the film does get the go ahead, it is to be devoutly hoped that the studios do not forget the original premise and make the Rage infected attackers zombies. Let's keep our film-lore straight here, this is not an English version of The Walking Dead. Hopefully more news will be released on the likelihood of this anticipated film being made, sooner rather than later.

Cashback News – Dec 16: China ecommerce and cashback update
E-Commerce, Retail, Slider
Comments Off on Cashback News – Dec 16: China ecommerce and cashback update
Things move fast in China when it comes to ecommerce, cashback, mobile and new technology. Welcome to our latest update on the world's biggest market. Last month's Singles' Day sales of more than $9 billion set a record for Alibaba and many other retailers did record business online in China as well. Founder Jack Ma expects new products and services, cross-border shopping and more innovations next year. McKinsey consultant Jonathan Woetzel explodes five myths about doing business in China and tells why he is optimistic about the future. SocialBrandWatch profiles five successful e-commerce/technology companies you should know about in China including Xiaomi, Meituan, VANCL, me and Koudai. SocialBrandWatch provides an interesting then-and-now look at the dynamics of online shopping in China.
Who are the newest banks in China? Those would be new startups owned by e-commerce companies Alibaba, Baidu and Tencent. Owned by Tencent, WeChat is China's massive messaging app with more than 600 million active users and we have 20 ways they are using it in everyday life from shopping and banking to gaming and more. Sales by Chinese merchants on Amazon.com in the US have doubled in the past year. Mark Mobius writes that China consumer's appetites for luxury goods including cosmetics and music is growing strongly. But some international brands are retrenching in China such as Louis Vuitton which closed several retail stores recently.
How Alibaba's annual shopping festival is revolutionizing e-commerce
Alibaba's Singles Day is revolutionizing the way hundreds of millions of Chinese consumers shop online, and the group's founder is hoping this year's event will do the same in global markets. The world's largest 24-hour online shop-a-thon kicks off at midnight on November 11. More than 30,000 brands will take part, offering heavy discounts, sales and other promotions.
Last year's event, also known as 11.11, generated over US$9 billion in gross merchandise volume (GMV) – more than the combined value of the United States' Black Friday and Cyber Monday. For executive chairman and founder of Alibaba Group, Jack Ma, this is a day to test new ways of bringing businesses and consumers together from anywhere in the world. Via m.clickz.com
Five myths about the Chinese economy
A widely held Western view of China is that its stunning economic success contains the seeds of imminent collapse. This is a kind of anchoring bias,1 which colors academic and think-tank views of the country, as well as stories in the media. In this analysis, China appears to have an economy unlike others—the normal rules of development haven't been followed, and behavior is irrational at best, criminal at worst.
There's no question, of course, that China's slowdown is both real and important for the global economy. But news events like this year's stock-market plunge and the yuan's devaluation versus the dollar reinforce the refrain, among a chorus of China watchers, that the country's long flirtation with disaster has finally ended, as predicted, in tears. Meanwhile, Chinese officials, worried about political blowback, are said to ignore advice from outside experts on heading off further turmoil and to be paranoid about criticism. My experience working and living in China for the past three decades suggests that this one-dimensional view is far from reality. Doubts about China's future regularly ebb and flow. In what follows, I challenge five common assumptions. Via mckinsey.com
The Startup Companies to Watch Out for in China
There are several startup companies in China that people need to be watching, as they could be the next best thing in the Chinese market. Several of these companies are known by those who take an interest in China business. However, they are expanding into other markets, to ensure that they are going to be seen throughout the globe….
Though these companies were once thought of as ideas that were never going to go anywhere. They have proven everyone wrong. They received financial backing from other companies, grew their presence online, and started to integrate with Chinese consumers. They are examples of how successful startup companies can be when they are in China. Via socialbrandwatch.com
Online Shopping In China Then And Now
Online shopping did not appear overnight in China, it has been a market that has been developing rather rapidly over the past ten years. A new report has been released that is comparing the shopping habits of Chinese consumers online from ten years ago to the shopper habits that are being seen now.
One of the most notable differences that was seen was that ten years ago, Chinese shoppers often shopped via online stores that were centered out of Hong Kong and Macao. Today, we are seeing more Chinese online shopping trends that are getting products from all over the world. Namely, Chinese consumers are buying from North America, Japan, South Korea, Europe and South Africa. What has caused this change? The introduction of Alibaba's Tmall, as well as the introduction of JD.com, have made it easier than ever for overseas vendors to sell their products to Chinese consumers. Via SocialBrandWatch
Alibaba, Baidu and Tencent and Their New Online Banks
A new breed of online banks promoted by tech companies like Alibaba and Tencent is taking root. Will they be able to hold their own against traditional banks?
To boost the economy and help small and medium enterprises get capital more easily, the Chinese government is encouraging non-government entities to invest in financial institutions, even allowing private companies to open their own banks. When the government announced its decision to grant five banking licenses for private banks earlier this year, the big three tech companies – Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu – jumped at the opportunity. Tencent, the company behind the popular WeChat social media app, was the first to take the plunge. On January 18, 2015 it launched WeBank, the country's first online-only bank. Via knowledge.ckgsb.edu.cn
20 amazing things that Chinese people do in WeChat
We all know by now that WeChat is a messaging app – and that it's huge. And we know that stickers are a big part of it. But there's so much more to WeChat that it can be difficult to convey to someone who's not familiar with the full range of things that people in China now use it for – both baked-in features and stuff that other companies are building inside the messaging app.
That's why WeChat is now used daily across China for in-store payments, online shopping, transportation, and dozens of other things. If you live in China, you could realistically use no other app but WeChat all day. Welcome to the WeChat universe. Via techinasia.com
Amazon helps Chinese merchants double their sales on Amazon sites in 2015
U.S. sellers on Amazon.com Inc.'s marketplace have taken note of the growing number of Chinese companies offering their wares on Amazon.com, often at low prices. It's no accident: Amazon is actively encouraging Chinese merchants to sell on its sites, and recently unveiled new services designed to increase the selection of Chinese goods available on Amazon sites around the world.
Amazon introduced its Global Store initiative three years ago to Chinese merchants, initially facilitating their sales on Amazon.com in the U.S. Amazon subsequently expanded the program to include 10 of its 14 global sites: the United States, Canada, France, United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Germany, Japan, Mexico and China. Not yet participating are Amazon sites in Brazil, Australia, the Netherlands and India.
Chinese retailers have taken advantage of the program to increase sales, Amazon executives reported last week at the company's annual meeting with Chinese sellers in Guangzhou, China. They said Chinese companies' sales on Amazon's marketplaces around the world doubled in 2015 compared with 2014. And they said Chinese merchants' sales increased more than tenfold on Amazon.com. Amazon did not provide dollar figures for those sales. The top-selling products for Chinese sellers are in wireless products, apparel, computers, home decor and outdoor products, Amazon says. Via internetretailer.com
China's future looks bright
There has been great concern regarding the slowdown of growth in China and its impact on commodity demand and, therefore, commodity prices. Crude oil's price gyrations tend to get the most attention, but China's share of global oil consumption is about 12%, which is significant but less than that of the United States. One could argue that Chinese demand patterns likely have played an even greater part in influencing prices of many other commodities where China holds an even larger share of global consumption.
China's share of global grain consumption was around 22% in 20142 and its share of global metal consumption tripled from 13% in 2000 to 47% in 2014.3 China is a key consumer of aluminum, nickel, copper, zinc, tin and iron ore. Of course, China isn't only a consumer of raw commodities—its growing middle class has been exerting formidable purchasing power and spawning new domestic industries that are of keen interest to us as investors, including cosmetics, entertainment (cinemas, music) and more. Via businessinsider.com
Just why are Louis Vuitton and other high-end retailers abandoning China?
A few weeks ago, La Perle lost one of its biggest tenants: Louis Vuitton. The French luxury retailer closed its store on the ground floor saying it would not renew its expired lease. This followed the shutting down of the two other LV stores in the northeastern city of Harbin, in Heilongjiang province, and the western city of Urumqi, the Xinjiang capital.
The brand said the closures were part of a marketing strategy adjustment by headquarters. It's a strategy that appears to have been taken on by many other international luxury brands. Via scmp.com

As you can imagine, bloggers are bombarded with pitches and press releases from hundreds of other public relations folks daily. So it is vital to really become familiar with the blog and tailor your pitches accordingly.
Many bloggers have taken the time to develop guidelines about what they will and will not accept in terms of content. Pay careful attention since it could make the difference in becoming an invaluable source for the blogger.
For many of our travel clients, press trips are an invaluable way for bloggers to gain first-hand experience with your property. For example, we work with only the influential blogger such as Destination Weddings Travel Blog, Rudy Maxa's Savvy Travel Blog, Sher She Goes, who have a tried and proven track record for helping to moving the needle upwards.

As with any story, we find inbound links to our hotels websites invaluable for helping to raise their rankings in google searches.
Bloggers lounge is another effective tool to assemble a group of influential bloggers either online or offline in one location to meet one-on-one with your company spokesperson, attend a conference or experience your product or service and then blog about this experience as it happens.

Often, bloggers will embed links into their blog which will enhance your online visibility.
Sometimes, a simple act as posting a comment on an influential bloggers site can also help extend your brands reach through the natural links from posting on another site.
By implementing a blogger relations program, you will elevate your presence online and keep your brand top of mind ultimately, attract new customers.

Wargroove Will Feature Switch/Xbox One/PC Cross-Play Support
The PS4 version (which doesn't yet have a release date) wasn't mentioned.
Posted By Shubhankar Parijat | On 28th, Jan. 2019
Wargroove launches on the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC soon, and when it does, it's going to support full cross-platform play features. The game, which features co-op and online battles, as well as creation and sharing of maps and campaigns through its in-game editor tools, will allow players across all three platforms to share and play with or against each other, as announced by developers and publishers Chucklefish on Twitter.
The obvious omission here, of course, is the PS4- that might be partly due to the fact that Wargroove's release date on the PS4 hasn't been confirmed yet, and it won't be simultaneously launching on the system with all the others. Chucklefish provided an update on this as well, saying that it "won't be long" before the game's PS4 version releases as well.
There's also the fact that though some gams like Fortnite and Rocket League do have full cross-play enabled on PS4 as well, that doesn't extend to all games out there yet– so there's a chance that Wargroove doesn't support cross platform functionalities even when it does launch on the PS4 (at least for a while).
On the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC, Wargroove launches on February 1.
Sometimes your friends aren't in the same faction as you, and that's okay!
No need to start a war, keep your band together with multiplayer cross-platform play on PC, Nintendo Switch and Xbox One, when Wargroove launches on February 1st! pic.twitter.com/Z6svC6MyL7

Amazon has announced plans to open new branch offices for their headquarters in Long Island City neighborhood in Queens NY and in the Crystal City neighborhood in Arlington VA. The New York office will occupy four million square feet initially, with an option to double in size, and will employ around 25,000 people with an average salary of $150,000 a year; the size and staffing for the Arlington location are expected to be comparable. Several cities were considered for the new locations, with state and local governments offering various incentives to attract the ecommerce giant. New York State will pay $1.525 billion in "performance-based incentives" to Amazon, and Arlington will pay $573 million.

2020 Primary Analysis: 28th Congressional District
By Chris Emami on March 18, 2020 • ( 1 Comment )
The 28th Congressional District falls entirely within the boundaries of Los Angeles County. Adam Schiff (D) is the incumbent and has held the seat since 2012.
This district shows the following party registration for the three largest political groups (the source is http://www.l2political.com):
Republican- 16.7%
Democrat- 50.0%
NPP- 28.0%
We had a familiar face running back in 2018 for this seat. Johnny Nalbandian who we wrote about earlier in our CD 27 analysis (he advances to November vs. Judy Chu) ran and advanced to November against Schiff. Here are the 2018 primary results:
Adam Schiff (D)- 73.5%
Sal Genovese (D)- 5.8%
Johnny Nalbandian (R)- 20.7%
If you calculate the totals from this election, you will see that 128,221 ballots were cast. 79.3% of ballots were cast for a Democrat and 20.7% of ballots were cast for a Republican.
Probably because Adam Schiff has become a higher profile Democrat, a crowded field filed to run against him in the primary. Here are the results from the March 3 2020 election:
Chad Anderson (D)- 1.3%
Ara Khachig Manoogian (D)- 1.8%
G. "Maebe A. Girl" Pudlo (D)- 11.6%
William Bodell (R)- 4.0%
Eric Early (R)- 12.8%
Jennifer Barbosa (NPP)- 5.6%
For this election, we saw 168,375 voters turnout and cast a ballot in this race. 77.7% of voters cast a ballot for a Democrat and 16.8% of voters cast a ballot for a Republican. Republicans almost got locked out of this race due to the jungle primary rules. G. "Maebe A. Girl" Pudlo finished just 1.2% behind second place finisher Eric Early.
Per the jungle primary rule in California, we will now see a November faceoff between Adam Schiff (D) and Eric Early (R). Schiff is the incumbent member of the US House of Representatives. Early is an attorney who was a candidate for Attorney General in 2018 against Xavier Becerra.
The primary numbers and party affiliation in this race are making this another easy call. I predict that Adam Schiff is going to win re-election.

Craig P Alexander says:
Chris I believe you are 100% correct about Mr. Schiff winning re-election. But given his actions over the last two years, including being a 100% proven liar, it is a sad commentary on the voters in that District and their collective decision to send him back to Congress for another term.
