Build a Toolbox for Continuous Delivery
by Aliza Earnshaw|25 July 2013
Companies that want to introduce new features to customers quickly are either already practicing continuous delivery or working towards it — or they should be. That's because continuous delivery of small frequent changes into the production environment — and testing all the way through — helps a company:
discover whether customers respond well to a change
lessen the risk of each change
plan change better
Continuous delivery is significantly different from the traditional "waterfall" model of software development, in which software is developed, tested and delivered in large chunks. So doing continuous delivery effectively requires the right tools. Some are the same tools used in traditional software development, but others are especially helpful for moving through the specific stages of continuous delivery. We hope this list helps you figure out which tool choices are most appropriate for your company's business. We'd also love feedback! If you have opinions about any of these tools, let us know in the comments section.
Continuous Delivery: Physical Fitness for Software Companies
First of all, let's look at why continuous delivery requires specific tools. The value of delivering smaller chunks of code into production, and testing them there before introducing more changes, is clear: You get to see how specific changes affect your system before introducing more changes that depend on previous ones. To get there, though, you have to move code from the developer's desktop environment into the testing environment — or environments — and then on into production. All these environments have to be configured the same way, or you run the risk of finding that code that worked in QA , for example, breaks in production. The ability to do this is, in fact, the actual definition of continuous delivery, says Eric Shamow, a recovering sysadmin who's now methodologies lead at Puppet Labs. "When you can spin up an application in any environment in your ecosystem with any version of your application code — on demand — that is continuous delivery." Eric likens this ability to becoming physically fit. "Getting good at writing code that doesn't fail is like training a muscle to be strong and flexible," he said. "Initially when you start doing this [continuous delivery], the build breaks all the time. Then everyone gets good at writing code that doesn't break the build, because they can see what the sources of the breakages are." So with no further ado, here are the tools — the treadmill, free weights and cable weight machines — that will train us to flex our continuous delivery muscles with greater strength and effectiveness.
The Tools of Continuous Delivery
First, a cautionary note: It's not all or nothing. You don't need to assemble a complete continuous delivery toolset to get started. Adopting even one of these tools, and the practices that go with it, can make a big improvement in your software delivery process. "In fact," says Eric, "incorporating all of them before you are ready could be just as big a problem as having none." 1) Version control This is the heart of continuous integration, says Eric. "Every change must go through a version control system, and every change must be attributable to a person." When something goes wrong, you'll know what to check, and who can help fix it. The version control tool keeps a record of when every feature, add-on or other change is merged into the trunk — the current, updated code base. It allows you to make sure that every change in every branch of your code gets tested against every other change. Without a version control tool, you run the risk of discovering that code that ran fine in its own branch collides with code from other branches, and breaks the whole. A few of the best known version control tools: Git, Subversion, Perforce and Mercurial. 2) Code review You need a tool that enables you to step through a piece of proposed code and see what the changes are, compared to the existing code base. It should allow you to mark changes, noting which are acceptable and which are not. Some version control tools — Git, for example — include the ability to review code. So does Stash. Gerrit is a free code-review tool that integrates with Git. 3) Metrics Continuous delivery is about shortening your test cycles — a process of continuous improvement. To make continuous delivery effective, you need to continually monitor your testing environment so you can figure out how to improve it. "If you're going to choose one tool to implement first, this is it," says Eric. "Because you can argue that continuous delivery is about turning the software release process from being an emotion-driven process to being a data-driven process." Rather than arguing whether testing feels like it's going better, a software development team needs to collect data on its processes to see whether its performance is actually improving (or deteriorating). Some well regarded tools for collecting software release data: Graphite, Logstash, Nagios and Splunk. 4) Configuration management As we said earlier, continuous delivery requires that the developer's environment, the test environment and the production environment be configured the same way. For example, a new version of your application may require changes to the settings on an Apache server. Those changes might have to be made ahead of running the new code, "and there could be 20 of those servers, or hundreds," Eric said. Shameless plug alert: This is exactly what Puppet Enterprise does (and more!). 5) Orchestration Once your environment is configured, you may need to roll out your applications in a specific order. That's orchestration. As with any task, automating orchestration vastly reduces the possibility of human error, and makes it possible to scale far beyond what people could do manually. Again, here's where Puppet Enterprise can help. The latest version includes an orchestration engine powered by the newest version of MCollective. 6) Dashboards Continuous delivery isn't a one-person show. The entire team needs to see, from moment to moment, if the build is red (broken) or green (working), and what's actually been released into each environment. A dashboard should display the status of your test environment and production environment. It should show the status of every node, both physical servers and virtual machines. If you are using Puppet Enterprise, you should make sure the console is on your dashboard, so you can monitor configuration status. Bamboo and Jenkins are the dashboards of choice for many sysadmins we know.
Continuous Delivery: Take It a Step at a Time
Going all meta for a moment, we suggest you take an incremental approach to adopting continuous delivery tools and practices. Choose the one that seems like it offers an answer to your most urgent needs, begin implementing it, and see how your processes — and your team — respond. And measure your outcomes. Once your organization has accepted and integrated the new tool and process, it's time to look at introducing the next change. We really do want to hear your experience with specific tools and practices - please add your comments below. We may follow up with you for a future post. Learn more:

SSDs were all the hype last year, then the "bubble" popped when tests performed on the Macbook Air showed that the SSD drive did little more than add $1,500 to the computer's final price. No performance increase, no battery life increase – two of the promises (among others) that SSD buyers were expecting from this technology.
When they were announced, the Intel Solid State Drive (SSD) seemed fast enough to justify a field test, so we installed a 80GB Intel X25-M SSD into a 2 years old Sony Vaio SZ laptop to see what would happen. Why such an old laptop? Because we think that the perceived unresponsiveness observed by many users is caused by the lack of disk performance. Disk accesses are the main reason why many simple computer tasks (boot, shutdown, applications loading, thumbnails generation…) feel so slow. We hoped that adding this drive alone with give a "boost" to the aging laptop.
So what are the results? It worked! Thanks to the SSD awesome performance, the laptop responds quickly. The Intel X25 80GB makes SSDs cool again and proves that hard drive performance can be more important than processing power.
Our old laptop is now almost as responsive as a nearby new desktop PC equipped with a Western Digital Velociraptor 10k rpm drive (300GB). The Vaio SZ's PCMark 05 HDD score went from 2996 to 18817! As a reference, the desktop PC and its Raptor 10k rpm drive gets a score of 8298… Unfortunately, a benchmark is a benchmark and real-life performance is sometimes different from synthetic measurements, so we'll try to tell you how the user experience is affected by this Intel X25-M SSD.
Admittedly, the original 5400rpm drive was a little weak, so we ordered a modern disk that would be considered a worthy upgrade by laptop users: the Western Digital Scorpio 7200rpm 250GB. It is one of the best 2.5″ platter-drive you can get.
As you can see, the boot times are impressively fast, but there's better: Applications can load up three times faster than the original hard disk. Loading Photoshop CS2 now feels as fast as my desktop machine. As you can see, upgrading to a faster platter drive brings a small performance (and capacity) boost for a reasonable price (around $110), but platter drives are no match for the raw performance of the Intel X25-M SSD.
We won't be testing the potential battery savings of the SSD. The reason is that in a laptop most of the power is going to the display, the CPU and the GPU anyways. Improving the power consumption of the hard drive has little to no practical implications. Expect no miracles on this side.
The Intel X25-M SSD (80GB) is impressive and really demonstrates the potential of SSD drives. It is faster than most desktop hard drives and runs completely quiet and cool. Obviously, you can pair two of these and get twice the throughput. At $600 (bulk price) with a small 80GB capacity, I'll leave it to you to appreciate how much you "need" to get this "Raptor in a laptop" drive. I assume that most people would still go for a conventional drive – I would (but at $300, I'll jump on it).
However, this clearly shows that in the next two years, we might get 120GB SSD drives for $200. This is still expensive, but capacity is not a key factor for everyone, especially for those who use their laptops as a secondary system. Also, Keep in mind that today's disk controllers and drivers are still built around mechanical drives, so expect a lot of progress on that front as well – this will further boost performance. Given the mechanical drive performance evolution over the past few years, it's pretty clear that SSDs will keep the performance lead. At some point, their price and capacity will be compelling enough to take significant market share from mechanical drives, just as they did for multimedia players.
My friends, Intel has just gone "nuclear" with hard-drives.

U.S. Spends $23 Million on Culturally, Linguistically Diverse COVID-19 Outreach for Minorities
Judicial Watch, May 5, 2020
Dealing with a devastated economy and the worst unemployment crisis in history, the U.S. government is quietly spending $23 million on "culturally and linguistically diverse" COVID-19 outreach and education in racial and ethnic minority and disadvantaged communities. The goal is to develop a national and statewide network of public and community-based organizations that will help mitigate the virus's disproportionate impact among that demographic, according to one of the recently published grant announcements. A separate allocation will revive an Obama-era program that gave leftist groups tens of millions of dollars to help poor, minority and indigenous communities attain "environmental justice." Under that project the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) will reopen the State Environmental Justice Cooperative Agreement Program (SEJCA) to help "underserved communities" and "vulnerable populations" deal with COVID-19.
The biggest chunk of money, $22 million, will come from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which just launched a National Infrastructure for Mitigating the Impact of COVID-19 within Racial and Ethnic Minority Communities. The agency's Office of Minority Health (OMH) will dole out the cash to "community-based organizations" that are considered "trusted and usual information sources for racial and ethnic minority, rural and disadvantaged communities." The organizations, most likely leftist groups, will use the taxpayer dollars to "disseminate effective response, recovery and resilience strategies and ensure service linkages for racial and ethnic minority, rural and disadvantaged communities hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic." This includes identifying areas with minority and disadvantaged people at substantially greater risk of contracting the virus and adverse outcomes due to prevalence of underlying health conditions such as hypertension, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, asthma, and COPD/lung disease as well as structural and systemic barriers to physical distancing and challenges to accessing healthcare and social services. The money will flow for up to three years so the community groups can document and distribute "lessons learned" and other findings.

I've just found this article on the BBC website regarding "Who is responsible for material published on the internet". Responsibility for content on the internet is a gray matter. "All ISPs in England and Wales are prima facie liable for any defamatory material that they know they are carrying, irrespective of where it originated."* In America they have the law to protect them from Libel claims, and this changes from country to country.
The article goes on and says "It is simply an indication that responsible publishing means taking care of what is said on your site, even if you are only the host of a comments page." and "every blogger, site host and community publisher needs to take their role seriously, and keep an eye on what they are publishing" which is true. But what about the comments. Yeah i keep an eye on mine but im lucky if i get 10 comments, take a site like Robert Scobel's, surely he cannot be held responsible for the comments? can he?
As a side note, we could all think about hosting our sites at the Principality of Sealand, a sovereign Principality founded off the cost on England in 1967. There they have Haven Co, a truely free market enviroment for hosting sites.

The space is modified by a construction in suspension, a "castle un Spain" built as if the space had moved.
These contemporary remains are inhabited by Razika's life.
In 1959, her parents died during the independance war while she was only 7 years old. Ten years later, her uncle marries her with the cousin of a neighbour in the mountain. After a month of marriage, her husband goes to work in France for 30 years. He only comes back once a year for a month and has 14 children with her.
Next to her, fires destroy the mountains in Small Kabylia. Some people say that the military light them to prevent from dryness, others say it is to scare off the terrorists.
« We can walk beside the Buy-Sellf Art Club without seeing it. Pity. We can see it without noticing that there is an exhibition inside. More's the pity again. Anyway, we come in, just in case... There are block walls. Not very attractive. Like a building stopped in progressive construction.
Perrine Lacroix loves these not finished houses, "contemporary vestiges". She takes photographs of them, wherever she goes, and calls them her "Castles in Spain". She also builds those. As this ephemeral castle in Marseille that she wanted summary. Not more than three walls, unrefined. We move indoors to find the only piece of furniture on the ground: two TVs.
On the left one, a lady relates her life. This is Razika. The video, recorded in June 2009, lasts for 9min 23s. Not a long, but scrolling without being stopped. That rather documentary than art, even if the life of Razika, 58 years old, constitutes a kind of work in progress. Razika was orphaned when she was 8, in 1959, during what she calls -"The French war". It was called the Algerian war in France. Then, her uncle raised her up, therefore she always obeyed him and did the cleaning. Then when she was 17 he's got her married. An arranged marriage. "I didn't know the gentleman". He is 20 years older. She would not have chosen him. But it's the uncle who makes a decision. Origin from Algiers, Razika finds herself in a tiny hamlet of Small Kabylia, "sent as a package, he found me inside".
After a month, her husband leaves her to her fate and goes. Razika feels herself been an outcast. He has lived in France for thirty years, near Albertville (Savoy). "I hoped that he would take me away with him".
He returns once a year for a month, in December. "He said vaguely that he was a mason".
Exhibition three walls have the character of the not nished house that he would have built around her. Razika calls him "Sir". She is not familiar with him; she is afraid with the idea of shaking his hand.


Basically, the current binding, as nice as it is, was breaking along the hinge of the front cover. The rear cover was also showing signs of similar aging. This is a very common problem, particularly in large & heavy books. And my estimate is that the binding was probably 100+ years old, so showing a bit of age is understandable.
Typically, there are two basic repair options for dealing with such a problem. The first is to reinforce the hinge inside and out with Kozo dyed to match the leather. This is minimally invasive to the original binding. It's a good repair for smaller books, but it doesn't have a great deal of strength, and if a book is very heavy or is going to get a lot of use, doesn't hold up as well as you would like. And to do it properly on this binding, it would have covered over a significant amount of the nice gold tooling.
The second common repair strategy is to "reback" the book in new leather. This includes removing the original spine, completely rebuilding the liners & hinges, putting new leather on the spine and then remounting the original spine onto the new structure. It's a strong repair and works well, but tends to be much more time consuming and apparent than the Kozo repair, changing the visual character of the book more.
After discussing the matter with the folks at MU Special Collections, we decided that I would attempt to do a Kozo repair, but one which had elements of the how the leather rebacking is normally done. This was something of an experiment, as is often the case in doing conservation work; you almost always have to blend techniques to meet the specific problems and needs of the item being treated.
Note that the pieces of Kozo are only between the heavy bands — those bands are part of the sewing structure, and I didn't want to impinge on how it worked mechanically.
Then I left it alone overnight to allow the adhesive to set properly. Leaving it alone is always the hardest part of this process, but you have to trust that you did it right, because if you try and look before the adhesive sets, it's probable that you'll cause the joint to be out of position.
That's a nearly perfect joint. I was very pleased.
But I wasn't finished yet. Now that the cover was properly aligned and partially attached, I needed to strengthen the joint from the inside of the cover.
It's a good repair. Eventually, the book will need to be rebacked in leather properly, but for now we've been able to stabilize the book and again make it available for classes and researchers at the University of Missouri.
What a fun project. I really do love doing what I do for a living, and I realize just how lucky I am to be able to say that.
Yeah, ten years. More than 1850 posts here (though not many in the last year). Big changes in both the history of the novel and in my life. Mostly good changes, though it has been a rough road at times.


Karen's platform to share all of her ideas and knowledge on lifestyle and health.
As a new mom, I was overwhelmed with lots of items for the baby that are available in the market. The decision making became much more difficult due to a number of brand selections of a single item. To help myself out, I made questions based on what I wanted the purpose of the item before I buy. For example on deciding which diaper pail should I get, I asked "which would contain the stinky smell while being durable at the same time?"
Reviews by verified users helped a lot on my decision making which is the best and not. Now, I have decided to share my own point of view as an experienced user of the products shown below.

If there's a formula or method that's vital to your
business, protect it through a non-disclosure agreement that binds
employees to secrecy, says Earl Bennett, an attorney at Saul
Ewing who teaches a seminar on intellectual property protection on
Thursday, April 27, at 8 a.m. at the Princeton Hyatt. Planning for
stock options and executive retirement plans will also be discussed.
Cost: $30. Call 609-452-3158 (www.saul.com).
The first step in drafting a non-disclosure agreement to safeguard
intellectual property is making sure you actually have a "trade
secret," says Bennett. By law, a trade secret is a formula, process,
device, or compilation that gives a company an advantage over competitors.
What is not a trade secret is something that is public knowledge within
an industry — a fact that seems obvious, but litigation is often
under way before a company realizes that its intellectual property
isn't property at all.
An employer is not required to draft a non-disclosure agreement for
employees in order to protect proprietary information — New Jersey
law recognizes that businesses have legitimate needs in protecting
confidential information and will prosecute an employee who leaks
vital information, regardless of whether they signed a non-disclosure.
However, putting it in writing goes a long way in clarifying what
is proprietary, and laying out an employee's responsibility in relation
to that material. For example, employers can spell out the terms by
which an employee may leave to work for a competitor, should that
situation arise, in a way that protects the company's best interest.
However, non-disclosure agreements that include sweeping provisions
— barring an employee from ever working for a competitor, for
example — are unlikely to hold up. The courts will always favor
competition, and in doing so, will nullify a covenant that imposes
undue hardship on an employee to pursue his or her ambitions. Non-disclosure
agreements therefore have to be fair — barring an employee from
working for specific competitors for a limited amount of time, and
providing ample compensation when the rules hamper the professional
pursuits of an employee.
On the flip side, says Bennett, who is based at Saul Ewing's 214 Carnegie
Center office, if you have just hired someone away from a competitor,
and he or she brings with them a whole bunch of good ideas, be wary
— New Jersey law states that a company that misappropriates another
business' trade secret may lose all the benefits that it unfairly
reaps.

Why is it connecting me to a South African server instead of connecting me to the kenyan server for cloudflare.
When i use the 1.1.1.1 app on my phone and i do a dns leaktest on my phone it connects me to a kenya server.
Your phone carrier probably has better routing than your home ISP.
Currently just a collection of good posts and links about peering, hopefully this will get written up properly at some point (either by me or someone else)!
The thing that does not make sense is that i am connected to the same wifi with my phone!
That does make it more interesting.
On your phone app, are you using DNS over HTTP, or DNS over TLS?
How's your Desktop configured to use 1.1.1.1? Regular DNS?
And, just to confirm, when you visit DNS Leaktest and it gives you the Hello (IP address). They're the same IP address on your phone and computer?
On my phone i am using DNS over HTTPS.
On my desktop i put the dns setting in my adapter options, and also on my router.
Also when i visit the DNS Leaktest site i have the same IP on my phone and on my Desktop.
Maybe your ISP can explain this, but we sure can't.
So Port 53 (DNS) gets routed to South Africa, but Port 443 (HTTPS) gets routed to Kenya.
@yashshah1282, whats the output of these pages?
Respectively of these commands on the command line?
When i use quad9 the dns leaktest connect tme to a server locally.
When i use google dns it routes me to Belgium server but it still has low ping compared 1.1.1.1.
So yeah, classic DNS goes via South Africa as @sdayman suggested. What about the other links I posted however?
So - as expected - HTTPS requests (including DoH) also go via South Africa.
You could contact your ISP and clarify why they route it to South Africa instead of to the local datacentre.


Discrimination in the workplace is rarely the fault of one person. It often reflects a culture that fosters and protects those who engage in discriminatory acts. For this reason, the New York State Human Rights Law (NYSHRL) makes it illegal "for any person to aid, abet, incite, compel or coerce the doing of any of the acts" that are considered employment discrimination.
According to a 2017 decision by the New York Court of Appeals, Griffin v. Sirva, this "aiding and abetting" clause of the NYSHRL "extends liability to persons and entities beyond joint employers, and … should be construed broadly." How broadly? Well, a more recent decision from a federal judge in Manhattan, Colon v. The city of New York dives into that question in greater detail.
The plaintiff said she has subsequently reassigned herself to a "much less prestigious position" at the NYCHA, and she resigned, fearing her career at the agency was effectively over. She subsequently sued a number of defendants, including Mark-Viverito, alleging multiple violations of federal and state law.
As notable here, the plaintiff alleged Mark-Viverito "aided and abetted" employment discrimination as defined by the NYSHRL. In March 2018, the federal judge overseeing the lawsuit dismissed the claims against Mark-Viverito. But in a March 2019 decision, the judge reversed course after acknowledging he "failed to consider" the New York Court of Appeals' "controlling decision" in the Griffin case.
More to the point, the plaintiff's lawsuit contains facts that, if proven true, would "plausibly suggest that the Council Speaker had some influence on the discriminatory acts of NYCHA." The judge, therefore, ruled the plaintiff's aiding and abetting claim against Mark-Viverito could proceed to the next stage of the litigation.
If your boss, or someone with influence over your employer, asks you to commit an act of racial discrimination, you have the right–and the obligation–to say no. If you are fired or demoted as a result of such a refusal, you need to speak with a qualified New York City employment law attorney right away.

The Long X Arts Foundation Watford City Area Concert Series is excited to announce the lineup for the 2018/2019 Concert Series, the first series for the newly formed organization that is committed to providing high quality entertainment at an affordable rate for members of the community.
The 2018/2019 Watford City Area Concert Series kicks off as support to the third annual Comedy Café event featuring Las Vegas Headliner and TV Personality, Jeff Civillico and nationally acclaimed comedian Bob Stromberg on Friday, October 26, 7:00 p.m. at the Watford City High School Auditorium. The Comedy Café event serves as a fundraiser for Bakken Oil Rush Ministry, which provides one of the area's only thrift stores to help people who are struggling to provide basic needs for their families.
"This concert series kick off is unique because we had the opportunity to partner with a great cause," said Jessie Scofield, president of the concert series committee. "This comedy show is just the first of a diverse lineup of artists, hand picked for our community."
The Watford City Area Concert Series is a membership driven organization. A 2018/2019 membership grants access to four Watford City based concerts as well as reciprocity with concert series lineups in Williston, Dickinson, Crosby and Hazen. A $50 individual memberships gives you the potential to enjoy up to eighteen concerts.
Following the Comedy Café, the Watford City Area Concert Series will continue the family comedy theme on Wednesday, February 13, 2019 with music, magic and ventriloquism with Todd Oliver, an America's Got Talent finalist. Todd is known for his act featuring Irving, his talking dog, and a rotating cast of characters. He's appeared on The Today Show, The Late Show with David Letterman and The Tonight Show.
On March 26, 2019 the concert series will welcome its first classical musician with award-winning pianist, composer, and improviser Charlie Albright. The Washington Post says Albright is "among the most gifted musicians of his generation" and has been praised for his "jaw-dropping technique and virtuosity meshed with distinctive musicality" by the New York Times.
The concert series will close on May 14, 2019 with another America's Got Talent Finalist, Sons of Serendip. This quartet of long time friends brings you fresh and creative interpretations of music you love featuring a tenor, harp, cello and keyboard.
All concerts take place at 7:00 p.m. CT in the Watford City High School Theater Auditorium. In addition to performing for the community, each performer will be doing a program for select schools in the community during their visit.

L'art de gouverner, Le Tao du prince ou  Han-Fei-tse (), selon les traducteurs, est un texte antique chinois attribué au philosophe politique Han Fei. Il est composé d'essais sur les théories du pouvoir d'État dans la tradition légisme. Il synthétise les réflexions de ses prédécesseurs. La plupart de ses 55 chapitres date de la période des Royaumes combattants au milieu du  ; cela fait de ce texte le seul de ce type à être parvenu jusqu'à nous intact. C'est certainement l'un des classiques philosophiques les plus importants de la Chine ancienne : il traite de l'administration, de la diplomatie, de la guerre et de l'économie. Il est également précieux par l'abondance des anecdotes sur la Chine pré-Qin.

Les écrits de Han Fei influencent fortement le futur premier empereur de Chine, Qin Shi Huang. Après la disparition précoce de la dynastie Qin, la philosophie de Han Fei est officiellement dénigrée par la dynastie Han. Malgré son statut de paria tout au long de l'histoire de la Chine impériale, sa théorie politique continue à influencer fortement chaque dynastie par la suite, et l'idéal confucéen d'une règle sans lois ne se réalisant pas.

Les différences considérables de styles entre les chapitres ont pu suggérer que tous n'étaient pas de Han Fei lui-même. Ils sont généralement considérés comme plus intéressant philosophiquement que .

Introduction
Han Fei décrit une nature humaine axée sur l'intérêt personnel et les méthodes politiques pour la faire travailler à l'intérêt de l'État et du souverain, à savoir, s'engager dans le Wuwei (non-agir) ; et la mise en place et l'utilisation systématique de la fa 法 (loi) pour se maintenir au pouvoir et gouverner les hommes, son utilisation pour augmenter le bien-être et sa relation avec la justice. Plutôt que de trop compter sur les dignitaires, qui pourraient ne pas être dignes de confiance, Han Fei lie leurs actions (sur lesquels il ne porte pas de jugement, à part l'observation des faits) à une récompense et une sanction systématiques (les « deux poignées ») . Ainsi, le souverain minimise son action. Comme Shang Yang et d'autres philosophes légistes, il exhorte le dirigeant à ne pas abandonner la Loi pour tout autre moyen, la considérant comme le moyen le plus pratique pour administrer un vaste territoire mais aussi son entourage.

La philosophie de Han Fei découle des régicides de son époque. Paul Goldin écrit : . Han Fei cite les printemps et les automnes de Tao Zuo : «  Moins de la moitié de tous les dirigeants meurent de maladie ». Si le dirigeant des hommes ne s'en rend pas compte, les troubles seront multiples et incontrôlés. Ainsi, il est dit : .

Non-agir (wuwei)
Han Fei consacre l'intégralité du chapitre 14 (intitulé « Comment aimer les conseillers ») à . Le dirigeant éclairé que décrit Han Fei terrorise ses conseillers en ne faisant rien (wuwei). Les qualités d'un dirigeant, sa « puissance mentale, son excellence morale et ses prouesses physiques » ne sont pas pertinentes ; le dirigeant doit rejeter sa raison et sa moralité privées et ne montrer aucun sentiment personnel. Ce qui est important, c'est sa méthode de gouvernement. La Loi (normes administratives) n'exige aucune perfection de la part du dirigeant.

L'utilisation de wuwei par Han Fei est peut-être dérivée du taoïsme, mais met l'accent sur l'autocratie (« Tao ne s'identifie à rien d'autre qu'à lui-même, le dirigeant ne s'identifie pas aux conseillers ») et Shu (technique) en tant que « principe pratique de contrôle politique » que n'importe quel état d'esprit. Il commence néanmoins par attendre « vide et immobile ».

Le commentaire de Han Fei sur le Dao de jing affirme que la connaissance sans perspective — un point de vue absolu — est possible, bien que le chapitre ait pu être l'un de ses premiers écrits.

Performance et titre (Xing-Ming)

Han Fei se focalise particulièrement sur ce qu'il nomme le Xing-Ming (形名), que Sima Qian et Liu Xiang définissent comme « tenir le résultat réel responsable devant le ming (Discours) ». En accord avec le confucianisme et le moïsme la , il est lié à la tradition confucéenne dans laquelle une promesse ou un engagement, en particulier en relation avec un objectif gouvernemental, entraîne une punition ou une récompense, bien que le contrôle étroit et centralisé mis en évidence par lui et la philosophie de son prédécesseur Shen Buhai s'oppose à l'idée confucéenne d'un conseiller autonome.

Se référant peut-être à la conception et l'application de lois et de termes juridiques normalisés, Xing-Ming a pu à l'origine signifier « punitions et noms », mais en mettant l'accent sur ces derniers. Il fonctionne au travers de déclarations contraignantes (ming), comme un contrat légal. En s'engageant verbalement, le candidat obtient un poste, ce qui le rend redevable vis-à-vis du dirigeant. Nommer des personnes à des postes (déterminés objectivement), récompense ou punit selon l'intitulé du poste proposé et si les résultats correspondants à la tâche confiée par leur parole, qu'un vrai conseiller accomplit.

Han Fei insiste sur la parfaite concordance entre les mots et les actes. L'adaptation du nom est plus importante que les résultats. L'accomplissement, la réalisation ou le résultat d'un travail est son hypothèse d'une forme fixe (xing), qui peut ensuite être comparé à l'engagement  initial (ming). Une grande prétention mais une petite réalisation est inappropriée à l'engagement verbal original, tandis qu'une réalisation plus importante donne du crédit en dépassant les limites de la fonction.

Le « dirigeant exceptionnel » de Han Fei "ordonne aux noms de se nommer et les affaires se règlent d'elles-mêmes".

Évaluant la responsabilité de ses paroles vis-à-vis de ses actes, le dirigeant tente de « déterminer les récompenses et les punitions en fonction du vrai mérite d'un sujet » (en utilisant la Loi). On dit qu'utiliser des noms (ming) pour exiger des réalités (shih) exalte les supérieurs et bride les subalternes, fournit un contrôle sur l'accomplissement des devoirs, et aboutit naturellement à souligner la  position des supérieurs, obligeant les subordonnés à agir à la manière de ces derniers.

Han Fei considère Xing-Ming comme un élément essentiel de l'autocratie, en disant que « Dans la manière d'assumer les noms de l'Unité sont de première importance. Quand les noms sont mis en ordre, les choses se calment; quand ils tournent mal, les choses ne se figent pas ». Il souligne que grâce à ce système, initialement développé par Shen Buhai, l'uniformité du langage pourrait être développée, les fonctions pourraient être strictement définies pour prévenir les conflits et la corruption, et des règles objectives (Fa) réfractaires aux interprétations divergentes pourraient être établies, uniquement jugées sur leur efficacité. En réduisant les options à une seule, les discussions sur la « bonne façon de gouverner » pourraient être éliminées. Quelle que soit la situation (Shih), c'est le bon Dao.

Bien que Han Fei recommande l'utilisation des techniques (adminstratives) de Shen Buhai, le concept du Xing-Ming  s'en distingue en recouvrant une réalité considérablement plus étroite et spécifique. La responsabilité mécaniste implique pour Han Fei une dichotomie fonctionnelle, tandis que ce n'était pas le cas pour Shen. La conception de Han Fei pourrait être considérée plus conforme à la pensée plus tardive du linguiste de la dynastie Han Xu Gan qu'aurait pu l'être celle de Shen Buhai ou de son supposé professeur Xun Kuang.

Les « deux poignées »
Dans la plupart de ses œuvres, Han Fei attribue sa conception du droit pénal au penseur Shang Yang, même s'il ne reprend pas ses thèses de façon rigoureusement exacte. Sa discussion sur le contrôle bureaucratique est simpliste, préconisant principalement la punition et la récompense. En dehors de cela, Shang Yang était largement indifférent à l'organisation de la bureaucratie. L'utilisation de ces « deux poignées » (punition et récompense) constitue néanmoins une prémisse fondamentale de la théorie administrative de Han Fei. Cependant, il l'inclut dans sa théorie du Shu (techniques administratives) en relation avec Xing-Ming.

À titre d'illustration, si le « gardien du chapeau » dépose une robe sur l'empereur endormi, il doit être mis à mort pour avoir outrepassé sa charge, tandis que le « gardien de la robe » doit être mis à mort pour avoir échoué faire son devoir. La philosophie des « deux poignées » assimile la règle au tigre ou au léopard, qui « domine les autres animaux par ses dents et ses griffes acérées » (récompenses et punitions). Sans eux, il est comme tout autre homme; son existence en dépend. Pour « éviter toute possibilité d'usurpation par ses conseillers », le pouvoir et les « poignées de la loi » ne doivent « être ni partagées ni divisées », en les concentrant exclusivement dans le souverain.

En pratique, cela signifie que le dirigeant doit être isolé de ses conseillers. L'accession des conseillers met en danger le dirigeant, dont il doit être strictement séparé. Le châtiment confirme sa souveraineté; la loi élimine quiconque dépasse ses limites, quelle que soit son intention. La loi « vise à abolir l'égoïsme de l'homme et maintien de l'ordre public », rendant les individus responsables de leurs actes.

Han Fei recours rarement aux érudits (spécialistes du droit et de la méthode), ce qui le rapproche des confucéens, de ce point de vue. Le dirigeant ne peut pas examiner par lui-même tous les fonctionnaires il doit donc s'appuyer sur l'application décentralisée (mais fidèle) des lois et des méthodes (fa). Contrairement à Shen Buhai et à sa propre rhétorique, Han Fei insiste sur le fait que des conseillers fidèles (comme Guan Zhong, Shang Yang et Wu Qi ) existent, et sur leur promotion aux postes les plus importants. Bien que Fa-Jia ait cherché à améliorer le pouvoir du dirigeant, ce plan le neutralise efficacement, réduisant son rôle au maintien du système de récompense et de punition, déterminé selon des méthodes impartiales et mis en œuvre par des spécialistes censés le protéger par leur utilisation. Combinant les méthodes de Shen Buhai avec les mécanismes d'assurance de Shang Yang, le dirigeant de Han Fei emploie simplement toute personne offrant ses services.

Comparaisons
Outre l'influence du confucianiste Xun Zi, qui était son professeur et celui de Li Si, Han Fei écrit un commentaire sur le Dao de jing, qu'il interprète comme un texte politique. Pour cette raison, le Han Feizi est parfois inclus dans le courant syncrétiste huanglao, considérant le Tao comme une loi naturelle que tout le monde et toute chose était obligé de suivre. Parallèlement à cela, il croyait qu'un dirigeant idéal faisait des lois, comme une force inévitable de la nature, auxquelles le peuple ne peut résister.

Le traducteur Wenkui Liao décrit la vision du monde de Han Fei comme « purement taoïste », prônant une « doctrine de l'inaction », néanmoins suivie d'une « insistance sur l'application active des deux poignées au gouvernement », c'est la « différence entre les idées de Han Fei et les enseignements des taoïstes orthodoxes (qui préconisent la non-action du début à la fin) ». Liao compare la pensée de Han Fei à celle de Shang Yang, « dirigeant son attention principale ... vers les problèmes entre le dirigeant et le conseiller ... enseignant au dirigeant comment maintenir la suprématie et pourquoi affaiblir le conseiller ».

Greens want big bank levy
Mike King | March 8, 2013
The Australian Greens have proposed a new tax on the big four banks, in exchange for the federal government's protection to ensure they do not fail.
Greens deputy leader Adam Bandt said today that it was time the big banks paid their fair share to taxpayers and the community. The minority party has proposed a 0.2% fee on all bank assets above $100 billion, which would apply to ANZ Bank (ASX: ANZ), Commonwealth Bank (ASX: CBA), National Australia Bank (ASX: NAB) and Westpac Banking Corporation (ASX: WBC).
The big four banks made a combined profit of $25 billion in 2012 and are projected to make $27 billion in profits in 2013.
The Australian Bankers Association (ABA) has rejected the move saying the majority of bank profits have been paid out to shareholders, many of whom are retail investors and superannuation funds. ABA chief executive Steven Munchenburg said that the banks had paid out $19 billion in dividends last year, and have paid out $82 billion in dividends.
He also added that the levy would hurt small businesses and the economy, as there would be less incentive to lend to small businesses, or the banks would have to increase the prices at which we lend.
Ratings agencies have assigned AAA credit ratings to Australia's big four banks, mainly because of the implied support of the Australian government, because they are "too big to fail". That has meant that the big four have been able to access funding much more cheaply than their regional and smaller competitors, allowing them to offer cheaper loans and gain a 90% share of the mortgage market.
Foolish takeaway
A levy on the banks assets appears to be a short-sighted attempt to bring in an estimated $11 billion in revenues. If it was introduced, the banks would in all likelihood pass on the costs to depositors and borrowers. Maybe the government needs to revisit its implied guarantee and if they are too big to fail, then surely that's the real issue?
The Australian Financial Review says "good quality Australian shares that have a long history of paying dividends are a real alternative to a term deposit."

RHM Bible Study, Luke Chapter Fourteen from Refreshing Hope Ministries on Vimeo.
Luke Chapter 14 beginning in verse 1 reading from the World English Bible: When he went into the house of one of the rulers of the Pharisees on a Sabbath to eat bread, they were watching him.
Though Jesus had some of His greatest disputes with the Pharisees, He did not write them off and still continued to dine at their houses when they invited Him in. The Jews had two principal meals a day, one near noon, and one near dark. This is thought to have been the evening meal. Luke records a lot of Jesus' table talk here, and it spans the next 24 verses.
The Pharisees watched Jesus closely and He was under constant observation. People wanted to know what He would do in different situations, and they formed their opinions about Jesus (and the God He talked about) based on what they saw. The word "watched" here means espionage, critical observation or examination.
2 Behold, a certain man who had dropsy was in front of him.
Dropsy is fluid retention and swelling, usually the symptoms of a disease in the vital organs where excess fluid collects in various parts of the body. The word for dropsy here comes from the Greek words for "water" and "face" or "countenance" because the disease often made a person look bloated in their face.
Having a dinner on the Sabbath required preparing the meal the day before, because you could not cook on the Sabbath day, so this was a planned event with guests. It is quite possible that the man was with dropsy was a trap set by Jesus' enemies who hoped that He would break their Sabbath law.
3 Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" 4 But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.
Jesus "answered" their thoughts here, for they had not said anything - they were watching to see what He would do, ready to pounce on Him for violating their Sabbath law. Jesus asked them "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?", but they were silent. To the Pharisees, this was an awkward question because there was nothing in the law of Moses that prevented healing on the Sabbath day.
The law of Moses had not given a specific definition of work, so the Jewish rabbis developed a set of rules for the people about what was considered work, and healing had been included in the things which were now prohibited on the Sabbath. When you think about it, they added extra strictness to the word of God, and then expected everyone to follow it, even God. That is the danger of religion without relationship.
Jesus appealed to the inner good inside of them. He knew that they were not brutal, cruel men; they were leaders in the community. They would even help animals that were in need. So while He rebuked their wrong attitude and temper, He also appealed to the best within them and asked them to show needy people the same kindness. Jesus' purpose was not shaming men, but of saving them and making them better men.
If the Pharisees approved the healing, it would show them soft on the law, but if they disapproved, it would show them indifferent to suffering, so they remained silent. Jesus healed the man. The law of Moses permitted healing the Sabbath, but the tradition of man did not. It is always man that tries to put God into a box shaped by rules, but they only succeed in putting themselves in there. When we go beyond the word of God, we fall into legalism, and it is easier to do than you think.
1. In Luke 4:31 Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the Sabbath and there was a man there with an unclean spirit, Jesus cast it out.
2. In Luke 4:38 Jesus healed Peter's mother-in-law on the Sabbath.
3. In Luke 6:6 Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the Sabbath and there was a man there with a withered right hand. Jesus healed him.
4. In Luke 13:10 Jesus was teaching in a synagogue on the Sabbath and there was a woman who was bent over and could not straighten up. She had been that way for eighteen years. Jesus healed her.
The religious leaders tried to accuse Jesus of working on the Sabbath, and that violated God's command, but it simply wasn't true. Each time that Jesus asked the Pharisees and the experts in religious law directly: "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" they refused to answer so that the foolish nature of their position would not become evident to all the people there. By asking them this question, Jesus reminded them that there was no command against healing on the Sabbath, but they had added one. They could not defend against this simple question, but it did make them furiously angry with Him.
Jesus tells a parable. A parable is a real-life illustration that is set along side a Biblical truth in order to give an example. Parables are not fables; Jesus didn't tell fairy tales about a pot of gold, but with morals. He took real-life situations that were familiar to all, and He used them to bring forth God's truth.
In Jesus' day, a wedding party was the most important social occasion in Jewish life and the seating arrangement at a dinner showed the order of prestige or honor, like sitting at the head of a conference table would. The most honored person sat in a particular seat, the next most honored person in another seat, and so on down the line. At the home of the Pharisee, Jesus noticed how people took the best places, they honored themselves. Jesus taught us to have a spirit of humble service (Mark 10:35–45), and modeled it Himself, instead of aggressive self-promotion like they were doing.
Scripture teaches us that we should not play the self-promotion game. We should work hard, as unto the Lord, and let God raise us up in His time. Psalm 75:6–7 reads: "For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor yet from the south, comes exaltation. 7 But God is the judge. He puts down one, and lifts up another." It would be better to choose the lowest place first because the only way that he can go is up. If you choose the top, the only place that you can go is down. So if we follow the advice of Jesus, we can only be promoted.
Especially in Christian service, there is something wonderful about knowing that God has raised you up, instead of you raising yourself up. Yet, you can hardly throw a rock out there without hitting an "apostle" these days.
Jesus told the host that his guest list should not only include friends, as there was no reward in that. Jesus encouraged him to invite those that could not pay him back, who could not afford the meal, and that God would pay him back. "Do not ask" is better understood as: "do not habitually, or only ask". It is wrong to only associate with people who can advance us, or give something to us. Jesus told us here to not associate with people only on the basis of what they could do for us, as that is self-centered living. The pharisees were very exclusive in who they invited.
Being the man had just spoke about the feast in God's kingdom, I believe Jesus elaborated on that day, the day of the Great Feast, the marriage supper of the Lamb. Jesus tells a story about a man that made a great supper and invited many people. I believe the "certain man" that gave the feast was God.
In the age before the clock, the date of a banquet was announced long before and the people were invited, but the exact time was announced during that day when everything was ready. This means that many people had accepted the invitation when it was first given, but when the time came, they had changed their mind. To accept the invitation and then refuse to come, after the food had been prepared for you was a serious insult.
One of the main points of this parable is the excuses that were offered. All those invited to the feast began to make excuses as if they had one accord. The excuses are all different, but really all the same.
The first two excuses had to do with material things, and they were not very good excuses either. One bought a piece of land, and then needed to go see it. Who would buy land without having seen it? Likewise the next man bought ten oxen and is only interested in testing them after they have already made the purchase.
So what do we gather from that? In a word: preoccupation. When we buy something new, we are almost always preoccupied by it for a while. In the world today, preoccupation with material things and experiences is a common excuse for not having time for Jesus.
The third excuse had to do with a man who put his family first, instead of God. So the first two excuses were economical, involving work and business, while the third domestic, pertaining to family. The excuses were just covering the simple fact that they did not want to come. The real point of any excuse is a lack of desire.
All the people that were invited, refused to come, and the Master of the banquet had gone through a lot of trouble to prepare it all. So He sent His servant out to invite the poor, maimed, blind and lame. The ones that Jesus told us the pharisee to invite earlier. Remember, Jesus is responding to the man that said: "Blessed is he who shall eat bread in the kingdom of God!" (Luke 14:15). These are the ones that ended up going. Those originally invited, refused to come.
This parable is a reference to the church. Jesus was sent to the Jews first, but overall, they refused Him. Therefore God would bring in others, both those inside the city (Jews) and those outside of the city (Gentiles). Also when the parable ended, the servant had not completed inviting the highways and the hedges (Gentiles) as this happened after Jesus ascended. Bringing in the gentiles was still a future event when Jesus spoke the parable. God invites us, man can choose to attend or not. A day is coming when the door will be shut and it will be too late to change your mind. Those originally invited would not come, but God will fill His heaven with others that will.
Sadly, Augustine and others in the early church used the phrase "compel them to come in" as a justification to force people to convert to Christianity, sometimes using persecution and torture. It was used as a defense for the inquisition, the thumb-screw, the rack, the threat of death and imprisonment, the campaigns against heretics, all those things which are now the shame of Christianity. Today there is a lot of talk about Muslim's beheading Christians, but at one time the Catholic church had its own army, and it waged war against those who would not convert.
25 Now great multitudes were going with him. He turned and said to them, 26 "If anyone comes to me, and doesn't disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can't be my disciple. 27 Whoever doesn't bear his own cross, and come after me, can't be my disciple.
Jesus continued making His way from His home base of Capernaum to Jerusalem, and great crowds were now following Him. He turned around spoke to them about discipleship, and who could be His disciple for it involved more than just following Him and watching Him perform miracles. The word disciple simply means "learner." So a disciple is someone who is a student, a learner of Jesus.
Being a true disciple of Jesus means giving your first loyalty to God, even over your own family. The Christian faith divides many anti-Christian families in this way. For example, say a son in a Jewish family converts to Christianity - his family may disown him. Jesus said that is ok, we have to put our faith first, and not the will of our family.
Jesus never taught hate, for we are to even love our enemies (6:27) and to pray for them. To me this part simply means: "Love your family less than Jesus." He is to be first and foremost in our life. We love our families but our first loyalty is to God and His word. If we are forced to make a choice between them, then we choose God.
The "carry your own cross" phrase probably horrified His listeners. Not long before in 4 BC, the Roman general Varus had broken the revolt of Judas in Galilee and crucified 2,000 Jews along the roads to Galilee. The people knew that the cross was an instrument of torture, death and humiliation. If Romans hung a cross on you, it was a one way journey to your death.
Jesus wants disciples who have counted the cost beforehand and willingly pay the price, not just an emotional reaction that fades the following day. He said clearly that whoever will not bear their own cross and come after Him, cannot be His disciple (Luke 14:27). He will not allow them to. They can call Him "Lord Lord" but He does not know them. There is no half-hearted effort allowed.
31 Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? 32 Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sends an envoy, and asks for conditions of peace. 33 So therefore whoever of you who doesn't renounce all that he has, he can't be my disciple.
Counting the cost: We can never give people the impression that they have to clean up their lives before they come to Jesus. That would be like washing up before you take a bath. Yet we can never give people the impression that Jesus will not want to clean up their lives, with their cooperation, after they come to Him. for He certainly will bring change.
Jesus said that salt is good, but salt that has lost its flavor is worthless and thrown out. He told this parable while speaking about counting the cost of being His disciple. A disciple of Jesus that has lost their saltiness, is useless as a disciple and will be thrown out. There is no room for being lukewarm in the Kingdom of God.
Jesus went into the house of one of the rulers of the _______ on a Sabbath to eat bread, and they were watching Him.
Behold, a certain man who had _______ was in front of Him. Jesus, answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, "Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?" But they were silent.
Jesus answered them, "Which of you, if your _______ or an ox fell into a well, wouldn't immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?" They couldn't answer him regarding these things.
Jesus spoke a _______ to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the best seats.
Jesus said to them, "When you are invited by anyone to a _______ feast, don't sit in the best seat, since perhaps someone more honorable than you might be invited by him.
But when you are invited, go and sit in the _______ place, so that when he who invited you comes, he may tell you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you.
Jesus also said to the Pharisee who had invited him, "When you make a dinner or a supper, don't call your _______, nor your brothers, nor your kinsmen, nor rich neighbors, or perhaps they might also return the favor, and pay you back.
But when you make a feast, ask the _______, the maimed, the lame, or the blind; and you will be blessed, because they don't have the resources to repay you. For you will be repaid in the resurrection of the righteous.
Jesus said to him, "A certain man made a great supper, and he invited many people. He sent out his servant at supper time to tell those who were invited, 'Come, for everything is ready now.' They all as one began to make _______.
The servant in the parable returned and told his lord these things. Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, 'Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in the poor, maimed, _______, and lame.
Now great multitudes were following Jesus. He turned and said to them, "If anyone comes to Me, and doesn't disregard his own father, mother, wife, children, brothers, and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he can't be my _______.
Jesus said: For which of you, desiring to build a _______, doesn't first sit down and count the cost, to see if he has enough to complete it?
Or what king, as he goes to encounter another king in war, will not sit down first and consider whether he is able with _______ thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand?
So therefore whoever of you who doesn't _______ all that he has, he can't be my disciple.
_______ is good, but if the _______ becomes flat and tasteless, with what do you season it?


Haggard H.R. Child of Storm = Дитя Бури: на англ.яз. Haggard H.R.
Sir Henry Rider Haggard was an English writer of adventure novels set largely in Africa, and a founder of the Lost World literary genre. His stories, situated at the lighter end of Victorian literature, continue to be popular and influential. In Black Heart and White Heart, Henry Rider Haggard mounts once more those trusty steeds of his, the nobility of the savage and the rascality of the civilized white. He rides, too, with all his old dexterity, and the story concerning Zulus, witches, battles, sacrifices, and traitors.

The 2018 holiday madness is finally over! You've had approximately five minutes to rest and now it's time to start planning for 2019.
One of the best parts about the holiday rush is the amount of data from which we can now draw insights to help build better campaigns for clients in the upcoming months.
"Knowing which offers are most appropriate to your clients' stores can help you craft even stronger marketing strategies."
During these high-volume holidays, most ecommerce stores implement some type of on-site offer, which is displayed via pop-ups or website message bars. Some are more effective than others, and knowing which ones are most appropriate to your clients' stores can help you craft even stronger marketing strategies.
Ready to take your design skills to the next level? Create a win-win situation for you and your clients. Enroll in your first Designing for Conversion course today, and start developing the essential skills you need to see your business grow and help your clients succeed.
At Justuno, we nerd out on analyzing the data behind user behavior, and digging into the data-rich holidays are a great opportunity to let our geek flags fly. We sat down to review the patterns and trends we saw in 2018—information that we hope you can use to prep for a more effective 2019 holiday season, and optimize any marketing campaigns that come up throughout the year.
Below, you'll find a break down of our user data from October 20, 2018 to January 1, 2019. We reviewed over 375 billion sessions to bring you insights on the types of on-site promotions that work the best. Let's dig in.
What it is: A countdown timer displays a timer on a pop-up or message bar on your client's site. The timer counts down to the time and date you've specified for an offer to end.
Why it works: Urgency! Implying a sense of FOMO helps influence buyers' psychology. This is heightened even more during the holidays, as everyone's in a rush to make sure gifts arrive on time.
Evergreen takeaway: Though timers are regularly used during holidays like Black Friday/Cyber Monday, understanding how urgency impacts your client's purchasing funnel is the takeaway here. You can create other promotions during the year, and deploy the exact same marketing mindset. People want to buy if they think they're going to miss out when the offer expires!
You might also like: How to Optimize Popups on Your Clients' Stores.
What it is: Spin-to-win refers to the pop-up that looks like a Wheel of Fortune game.
Why it works: Gamification! Users love a gamified user experience, so having the prizes shown on a wheel draws them in. On the backend, you can specify what they will actually win, meaning this promotion type is easily customized.
Evergreen takeaway: Gamification works best when aligned with the right end-goal. Introducing a spin-to-win to increase engagement and build an email list quickly works best—though, during a holiday, it's best to keep the focus on engagement, and not list-building. List building should be the precursor to your holiday sales, so once you have that list and the holidays arrive, you don't have to worry about enticing people to opt-in. Focus on marketing to the list you've already built and converting those leads! Be aware that the quality of leads generated by a gamification approach may be of lower quality. But, if your goal is engaging or list-building, this approach is great.
What it is: A center pop-up is just what it sounds like! This type of promotion appears in the center of the user's screen.
Why it works: KISS. That's the good old user experience acronym for "keep it simple, stupid," which has become something of a rule-of-thumb in UX design. And you can't get simpler than a center pop-up.
Evergreen takeaway: There's no need to get fancy. A simple, center pop-up is very effective, and in our internal analysis of Justuno users, tends to convert best. Over-complicating your design can send you down a rabbit hole of trying to understand why a certain pop-up design isn't converting, since you've introduced too many variables. Simplify. Convert more. Easily understand what's working and what isn't.
You might also like: How Driving Quality Traffic Will Boost Conversion.
What it is: An ungated pop-up is an offer that doesn't require the visitor to submit their email. Most commonly, this type of promotion shows a code that can be copied and used without collecting user emails.
Why it works: Ungated promotions work well because there is no barrier to entry. The user has access to the offer as soon as they are served the pop-up.
Evergreen takeaway: Giving everyone access to a certain offer is a fantastic way to increase orders. If you decide to run a "free shipping" discount or a "20% off" discount, for example, leaving that ungated is a surefire way to push more sales. Even better, you can get very specific with who sees that ungated offer—for example, only showing it to people who click through from your email. No matter who your target audience is, this type of offer is sure to produce immediate results.
What it is: A gated pop-up refers to a website pop-up that requires information before the offer can be accessed. The most common requirement is email, though depending on your segmentation strategy, you might ask for more detailed information.
Why it works: Gated offers work well because the user will exchange their email address for whatever valuable offer they'll receive once they opt-in.
Evergreen takeaway: Using a gated promotion during holidays like Black Friday/Cyber Monday isn't generally something we recommend. Your focus shouldn't be on list-building at that time. However, the periods before and after holidays are great times to show gated offers. Gating your offer is the ideal way to kickstart building your client's email list, and nurturing them to become customers—and then repeat customers.
Now that you're armed with information, how will you work these consumer behavior insights into your next campaign?
For ecommerce stores, new visitor gated offers and exit offers are absolute must-haves. If you already have these staple offers in place, choose one of the pop-up types we've written about here, and adapt the targeting rules to align with your marketing strategy.
"Marketing holidays are opportunities for you to introduce tactics that increase your client's sales and engage with their audience."
Don't forget, setting up a simple A/B test is the next step to refining your conversions. Tweak one item at a time—copy, image, button text—for a simple test to run during your next holiday marketing push.
Marketing holidays are opportunities for you to introduce tactics that increase your client's sales and engage with their audience. Use the data above to learn from other people's mistakes—a successful campaign is within your reach.
What conversion tactics do you use? Let us know in the comments below!

Textile eBook Fiber Textile Dictionary: English/American-German-French-Spanish-Italian
Textile Dictionary: English/American-German-French-Spanish-Italian
7:30 AM Fiber
Textile Dictionary
English/American- German- French-Spanish - Italian
Expanded second edition in five languages
Edited by the Textile Institute of the University of Technologie Aachen. (Director: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Burkhard Wulfhorst)
Translations: Diego Manca for International Service s.n.c., Florence.
The first edition of the dictionary was edited by the defunct Hermann-Josef Zingel, Centre for textile documentation and information (ZTDI) titus-TEXTILINFORM of Düsseldorf, in collaboration with Jean-Marie Ducrot, Institute Textile de France, Boulogne-sur-Seine (France), Prof. Dr. Jose Mumbru Laporta and Maria Rosa Pont Puntigam, Escuela Tecnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales, Tarrasa (Spain). It was published by the Association of German Engineers (Verein Deutscher Ingenieure), Centre for textile documentation and information (ZTDI) titusTEXTILINFORM of Düsseldorf.
Preface to the second edition
The first edition of this volume was published in four languages in 1979 and is out of print. In view of the continuing demand for this dictionary we have decided to publish a new edition which, as weil as being enlarged to include about 1300 new words, is enriched by the addition of Italian translations. As before, the Technical Dictionary of Textiles is divided into two main parts, i.e., the multilingual basic index and lists of words in the respective individual languages. The preface to the first edition provides guidance on using the book. We hope for a warm welcome for this book in the technical textile field and we should be glad to receive any feed-back which would help towards a further improvement of the dictionary.
The present Dictionary is based on a four-language textile vocabulary, used since 1970 by the international titus-system for indexing and retrieval of documents in a textile documentation and inforrnation system.
Since 1973 textile specialists from all over the world have translated, enlarged and corrected this vocabulary for the purpose of setting up an international multilingual data-base for the textile and related industries. The technical language of this vocabulary is - together with other elements such as syntax computer programs, generallanguage, etc.- the basis of the automatic translation system titus, since 1974 the only multilingual translation system that is effectively used.
This Textile Dictionary contains the technical terms used in automatic translation as standardized by and between the users of the titus-system within the various countries, e.g. the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Belgium, Spain, the United Kingdom and the United States.
The compilers and editor of this work are aware that a final standardization or a generally accepted interpretation requires the same continuous processing as occurs with the titus inforrnation and documentation system; now that this work is presented to the textile world, the editor would be grateful to receive criticism and suggestions for a universally accepted standardization of the textile terms in the four languages.
The Textile Dictionary not only has the aim of facilitating international communication in this field in the case of translations but also to give users of on-line databases a vocabulary that allows worldwide access to the titus data-base via telecommunication networks.
The Dictionary is divided into two main parts: (1) The English basic table, with translations in French, German and Spanish; the English terms in this table are arranged alphabetically and numbered consecutively. English synonyms are listed in their proper place, with a reference to the number of the main entry. (2) Separate indexes for each of the three languages other than English. Users of the dictionary seeking the equivalent of an English word or term need only consult the first part, where they will find the translations in the other languages. The second part is of use when translating from a language other than English. When, for instance, a German word or term has to be translated into another language, the German index should be consulted. This refers one back (by number) to the basic table, where one finds the translation in the appropriate language.

Fun. It's a good translation to the handheld platform, no less fun than Guitar Hero III on my PS2.
Portable. It fits nicely in my backpack or in the center console of the car.
Decent sound. Not great, but much better than I expected. Maybe comparable to 64Kbps MP3s?
Fast access to game play. Long startup and load times are a pet peeve of mine. In a single informal time trial, it took 37 seconds from turning on the DS to seeing the fret bar display in career mode. Not bad. Closing the handheld's lid means the game is available instantaneously, any time. The PS2 wastes nearly two minutes of my time before I reach a song.
Limited track selection. Only 25 songs total.
Small fret bar. The buttons would feel more comforatable if half an inch or so was added to the total width of the bar.
Overall, a great buy for a GH fan like myself. Great if you're into branded accessories, too: picks, cases, and even a Guitar-Hero-branded Nintendo DS. Dang.
