I saw a lot of our great state of Ohio this weekend (as etched out by the red line). On Saturday, I visited one of my favorite places, the vast Edge of Appalachia Preserve in Adams County. I was invited to participate in a field trip hosted by Josh Knights, director of The Nature Conservancy, and he, TNC'er Briana Walsh, and I led some Edge supporters through the wonders of Abner Hollow.

This morning, I met three of the most knowledgeable aquatic ecologists you'll ever cross paths with at Little Darby Creek in southwest Franklin County. I'll tell that tale, with plenty of pictures, soon. After our highly successful fishing expedition, I headed north to Huron on Lake Erie. A very rare (in Ohio) Scissor-tailed Flycatcher has been frequenting a golf course there for several days. I saw it and basked in the bird's presence for several hours, and got plenty of photos. More on that tomorrow.
In all, I covered about 500 miles this weekend, from the Ohio River to Lake Erie, and took well over 1,000 images in the process. I look forward to sharing some with you as soon as I can sort them all out.
Stunning fish! Great picture but it looks like something one would have to go to the Caribbean to see! What a blessing to have such beauty in Ohio. Thanks for this picture.

Cuisine spawned by the Khmer Rouge: Must-try local delicacies in Siem Reap today
At Backstreet Academy, we can't get enough of the local Cambodian food. Our love affair with the cuisine have manifested into a popular cooking class and a street food tour that have seen hundreds of travelers enjoy local fare in its most pristine form, unspoiled by the westernization of local dishes to suit international palates (beef loc lac with ketchup is out there on top of the list). And in exploring the local cuisine through the years, we noticed a recurring theme of local delicacies that were popularized during the Khmer Rouge. Some of the most interesting dishes in Cambodia seem to have been discovered during Pol Pot's regime, a time when two million people are said to have perished and thousands more starved. However, the Khmer people found clever and ingenious food sources to supplement their insufficient diet, food that have survived the genocide and come to be loved by the local people today. Here is a list of cuisine spawned by the Khmer Rouge.
Borbor (Rice porridge)
Day in and day out, the people under the Khmer Rouge survived on a diet of borbor. At the time, it was served as a watered down version to feed the countless citizens who moved to the countryside. Under dwindling shortage of rice, the watered down version of borbor was the only way to feed everyone.
Since the Khmer Rouge, borbor has come to live amongst the hearts of Cambodians as a popular 'soul food' where a much heartier version of the dish has taken the place of its former self. It is typically served with shredded chicken, congealed blood, pork intestines and pork bits garnished with crispy fried onions, cilantro and paired with lime and chili. And water has been replaced with a rich pork or chicken broth to cook the rice in. Borbor has come to be a popular breakfast option among the locals. You can find a bowl at most makeshift stalls you will see on the streets.
Insects (of every variety)
As the Khmer Rouge came into power in 1975, they immediately ordered two million citizens from the capital to move to the surrounding villages to work as peasants. This was to be 'year zero' in Pol Pot's vision of a new rural, classless society. A result of an extreme form of Maoism. The people were forced to live and work in inhumane conditions, being served a bowl or two of borbor (rice porridge) a day. This forced people to find other sources of nutrients and one that was in abundance were insects. Spiders, crickets, grasshoppers and water beetles provided an important source of energy for millions of men, women and children who were malnutrition during Pol Pot's regime.
Crickets and insects in general have seen themselves into the mainstream cuisine
However, unlike what we see on the streets today, where these delicacies are fried to crispy perfection, they were mostly eaten raw during the Khmer Rouge. It was illegal to eat anything as being caught consuming any other food besides what was provided meant likely execution or punishment. And fire to cook the insects would certainly reveal the unauthorized activity.
If you're brave and want to try out sampling some of these creepy crawlies, try out the Fear Factor Challenge in Siem Reap – it will be bound to be an adventure you won't forget. 😉
Pset (Oyster Mushroom)
Wild mushrooms provided a healthy diet source during the Khmer Rouge. Mushroom was found wild in the rice fields and thus entered into the 'illegal' diet of the people during the Khmer Rouge. If you were caught picking mushrooms, say because, your sister was pregnant and could do with more than a watered down rice porridge, you were jailed.
Pset kop (Fresh veggies with mushroom dip. )
Mushrooms today have entered into the Cambodian diet, supplementing soups, curries and countless other dishes as a integral ingredient in defining the Khmer flavors.
Frogs are eaten in most Southeast Asian countries. This popular snack in Cambodia is enjoyed either grilled or deep fried. However, during the time of the Khmer Rouge, any alternative to Bobor was prized as luxurious. And when the monsoon season would arrive, frog could be found in abundance in the wild. Frogs too were illegal during the Khmer Rouge but it was relished as a healthy source of protein. Today, you can find deep fried and grilled frogs in almost all the food markets around Cambodia. The local wet markets also sell skinned frog, ready to be on your dinner table in no time.
If you are on the look out these must try delicacies in Siem Reap, you can simply head down to Psar Leu, the biggest local market in Siem Reap where you will be on a good spot to try out these food and a lot more. If however, you're feeling a bit adventurous and want to learn how to prepare a frog dish, it's worth checking out this Evil Cuisine Cooking Class.

  return $result->result();
}

Thanks for help!!

A: You aren't sending key/value pair to server...just a value.
So there is no $_POST['section'] which is basically what  $this->input->post('section'); is
Try changing
 var section = "1";

To
 var section = {section: "1"};

You also aren't validating what is sent or checking if $result returns anything

Many attorneys have trusted MediVisuals to help them obtain notable settlements and verdicts. Some of the most notable are reported here. If you would like to share a recent case outcome, please contact MediVisuals.
Congratulations to Dino Colombo, Esq. and Travis Mohler, Esq. of Colombo Law in Morgantown, WV for the $18,250,000.00 settlement they obtained on behalf of their client, a 46-year-old female who was hit by a natural gas service truck that ran a red light. She suffered multiple injuries, was placed in an intensive care unit, and remained unresponsive and on a ventilator for nearly 3 weeks.
The Plaintiff was stopped at a stop light when her light turned green. As she entered the intersection with the intention of turning left, a Dodge Ram 4500 Heavy Duty pickup truck pulling a 20 ft. steel trailer ran the red light and slammed into her driver's side door at approximately 50 mph. Paramedics found the plaintiff trapped in the car and unconscious. She was taken by ambulance to a local hospital where she was intubated as a result of respiratory failure and then flown to the closest trauma center. The Plaintiff was placed into the intensive care unit where she remained unresponsive and required a ventilator for nearly 3 weeks.
The Plaintiff suffered a left femur fracture, which required surgical repair using intramedullary nailing; a T4 Chase fracture, requiring a C7-T7 posterior fusion with pedicle screws and hooks; and left lower leg ischemia, which required an embolectomy and four compartment fasciotomy of the calf. She also sustained a severe traumatic brain injury requiring 24/7/365 attendant care.
Through discovery it was learned that the Defendant, who was driving the commercial motor vehicle, had two previous DUI convictions and was a fugitive from justice on the day he was hired. Mr. Colombo and Mr. Mohler alleged that not only was the driver negligent for running the red light and hitting the Plaintiff but that the motor carrier was negligent and reckless for hiring this particular driver to drive their CMV.
The Defendants admitted that their driver ran through the light but denied any corporate negligence. They also tried to blame the collision on the Plaintiff by alleging that she should have seen the truck coming and had the last opportunity to avoid the collision. The initial settlement offer was $7,000,000. Just 4 days before trial, the case settled for $18,250,000.00.
Colombo Law partnered with MediVisuals to develop multiple illustrations of the Plaintiff's injuries and surgical procedures.

Q: Is it reasonable for DevOps to insist on 2 branch only integration? I am the DevOps/CI for my team of somewhere around 10 developers. We develop and implement a sophisticated scientific data collection and visualization web application. I am the person who introduced CI to my team and standardized and streamlined the build process using Jenkins, Maven, Python etc. We use Subversion for versioning, which is not my preference (of course, Git is) but I can work within those parameters. The subject of this inquiry is our branching strategy, which I am trying to promote into a policy.
As someone who manages all of the lifecycle past the point of checking changes in, my preference is to have not have to support more than two branches of code: (1-PROD) that which is currently deployed in PROD and (2-DEV) that which is in development. This simple scenario makes my life easy and the lack of flexibility with regard to branches is what enables efficiency and smooth operation in my department. Having a single, unified branch per release, and not having feature branches, eliminates the need for merging, which is something that is always a crapshoot, to put it mildly. So, the model I am proposing would, in theory, require to never merge anything -- if a developer makes PROD fix changes in 1-PROD, (s)he is responsible to apply those changes to 2-DEV, so that we don't have to do merges in the CI process. Keeps things neat and stable.
However, there is a tendency within the team as well as the management to resort to creating a new branch whenever the slightest discrepancy in requirements arises, and many of those challenges could be addressed within the same branch, e.g. by toggle switching the pending functionality using configuration until it is ready etc. In every instance of a new branch that has been made, I demonstrated that the isolation of the development effort could be accomplished within the existing branch using configuration settings. I wouldn't hate is as much if they didn't also require that official build artifacts be generated and deployed to various testing instances from those branches (PROD deployment always goes out from the main branch after any possible feature branch has been integrated). So if they want to have 100 branches for developers, that's fine by me as long as they are responsible for merging them into one of the two branches that affect me and I don't have to support deployment from there to actual instances. I would also hate it less if multiple branches didn't involve the awful process of merging, which I absolutely hate and strive to design an environment in which it's not done.
Is my proposed branching/deployment strategy (to support only the two canonical branches in the integration process) unreasonably simplistic? Is the complication/entanglement associated with branching flexibility simply a fact of life in the world of DevOps/CI?

A: The role of DevOps is to enable self-sufficiency among developers, not to take on all of the work yourself.
I believe you are right in encouraging developers to use feature toggles but unreasonable in limiting them to only two branches.
Feature toggles work well for new features that don't overlap with other features, but you'll eventually get into a situation where you have to overhaul something critical. Creating a new branch is an easy way to allow for major changes.
If you're using Jenkins, then it shouldn't be too much trouble to build and test any amount of branches and deploy the artifacts to testing environments. One benefit of this is the ability to notify developers when their branch fails to build and prevent them from breaking the dev branch.
In my previous role, I was able to set up a Jenkins instance which handled hundreds of builds per day from many branches, and developers/QA could use jobs to deploy the artifacts wherever they wanted. The point is that they were responsible for doing the work, I simply gave them the tools they needed.

A:
This simple scenario makes my life easy and the lack of flexibility with regard to branches is what enables efficiency and smooth operation in my department.

If this is running flawlessly, that suggests to me that the features that are being committed are not conflicting with each other.
If the two features do not conflict, then you wouldn't encounter merge issue from a branch anyway.
If the two features do conflict, then you would have to handle merges in either case (branch merge, or resolve an update conflict which SVN enforces you to do before you get to commit your code).

the need for merging, which is something that is always a crap chute, to put it mildly

The issue here is one of perception.
Without extra branches, you indeed don't have to worry about merge issues, but you instead run into the continual issue of developer's breaking the branch and blocking everyone else. This can happen at any time, pretty much daily if you enforce a policy of committing code at the end of the day.
With extra branches, you actually defer those conflicts until it's actually time to merge.
While merge issues are more complicated to deal with, they also occur on your terms (only when you want to merge), rather than every commit being liable to break the build for everyone.
When you total the amount of effort spent, you'll see that the many little commit issues will take more time (especially when it affects multiple developers) compared to a single developer having to spend some effort to merge the branches.

Secondly, there is an inherent conflict with enforcing a policy of daily commits. What if a developer is working on a major change (one that changes things in a less than trivial way) which likely takes several days to complete?

*

*Should this developer ignore the policy to commit daily? That's bad, because it becomes a slippery slope of people deciding for themselves when they feel ready to commit code.

*Should the developer comment his changes and commit the application in a way that it works the way it used to? That takes additional effort, and it opens the door to forgetting to uncomment one or two parts of the changes and thus running into unexpected behavior. And that's even assuming that the changes don't drastically effect the classes/files because they it becomes impossible to manage.

*Should the developer commit the code as is, even if it's unfinished and therefore will render the application unusable until the developer has finished his task?

There's no good option here. But if you use feature branches, then you compartmentalize the issue. Whoever is working on the breaking change can do so at their own pace, in their own branch. Only when they are finished (i.e. they have working code), they merge it into the "shared" code.
Furthermore, there are ways to minimize the impact. Have your feature developers merge from the truck to their feature branch, and solve the merge conflicts that way. This dramatically lowers the emergence of merge conflicts when merging from the feature branch to the trunk.
Also, I would make it so the merging of a feature branch is the responsibility of the developer of that feature branch. You're actually already applying this principle; when you share a trunk, SVN forces you to update and resolve any potential conflicts before it allows you to commit.
You can enfore the same policy for your feature branches; where developers are asked to first merge the trunk to the branch, resolve the conflicts there (on their own pace, without affecting others), and then merging from the branch to the trunk.
It's still possible that there has been a new commit to the trunk between the two merge operations, but the odds are low, and even if conflicts occur, they will be relatively small (and thus not as prone to merge errors).

A: Yes, your strategy seems fine. With the following caveats.

*

*Devs can still make as many "non building in CI" feature branches as they like.

*You add a 3rd "Test" CI branch to allow dev of 1.2 to start while testing of 1.1 is in progress and 1.0 is still live and potentially needs hotfixes.
Having CI work for any branch can be done, but really you need a seperate envrionment to deploy that branch to. which again, in these days of cloud, can be done. But gets expensive fast and is generally much harder to achieve.
I think most places will have a live, dev and test envrionment setup and work around that. Forcing a release strategy and time table where feature releases have a degree of inflexiblity in the order in which they can be released.
However, you must realise that this is essentially a management and control issue about how people work. Not a simple techincal process. The best techincal solution is not always the selected solution in these cases.

Search for a new heavy gauge-boson resonance decaying into a lepton and missing transverse momentum in 36 fb - 1 of pp collisions at √s=13 TeV with the ATLAS experiment
Atlas Collaboration
The results of a search for new heavy W′ bosons decaying to an electron or muon and a neutrino using proton–proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of s=13 TeV are presented. The dataset was collected in 2015 and 2016 by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider and corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb-1. As no excess of events above the Standard Model prediction is observed, the results are used to set upper limits on the W′ boson cross-section times branching ratio to an electron or muon and a neutrino as a function of the W′ mass. Assuming a W′ boson with the same couplings as the Standard Model W boson, W′ masses below 5.1 TeV are excluded at the 95% confidence level.

Q: How to use long date format in LWC So I've been trying to understand the use of dateTime.longDateFormat in the documentation located here: [https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/component-library/documentation/en/lwc/lwc.create_i18n][1]
I can get the format fine ('d, MMMM YYYY') and access it in the component. However, how to actually implement the formatting I am a bit lost.
In apex you can call date.format('d, MMMM YYYY') and it would output something like '4, January 2020'
Is there any function that you can call with the format above or is totally useless in the i18n context that LWC provides?
As far as I can tell the i18n dateformat object takes an object as it's options and not a string.
thanks in advance.

A: As there were no 'native' options I decided to use a common library with a format option on it. I chose date-fns
To be able to use this in LWC you need to install using npm and convert the latest version using browserify and uglify.
The steps were:

*

*npm i date-fns

*npm i browserify -g

*npm i uglify-js -g

*browserify  node_modules/date-fns/index.js --outfile date-fns.js -s date-Fns

*uglifyjs date-fns.js > date-fns_min.js

*upload date-fns_min.js as a static resource type application/javascript

To use it in your lightning web component you need to use the following code:

import longDateFormat from '@salesforce/i18n/dateTime.longDateFormat';

export default class exampleClass extends LightningElement{

    datefnsLoaded = false;

    isInitDone = false;

    async connectedCallback()

Weekly Mélange: Bloggers in the Wild — janny: organically.
Most of you know I spent 5 days in Southern California with several of my blogger besties at the ShiftCon event, but most of our memories happened off-site since we are rarely together. I mean, we all love being in bed by 9PM but found it hard to pull away and put ourselves to sleep before midnight!
Devouring bomb GLUTEN FREE donuts from Sidecar. No joke, I think this was a top 10 moment for all of us, we even brought some home!
Witnessing Courtney Kahla discover the caffeine content in lattes. "I feel like I had coffee, but all I had was a latte!"
Getting a room to myself the first two nights but still waking at 6:30am because that's how it works I guess?
The Blogger Panel at The Detox Market. Doing some Q&A is nice, but we got to meet and hang with several of our readers, several of whom we've been chatting with for several years! One even brought me flowers; you all are seriously the best!
Last but not least, hugging Leah from Leahlani Skin Care all of Friday night. She's one of my favorite humans and I honestly couldn't let her go, in fact at some point I was basically sitting on her lap because I didn't want her to leave me. So I decided to take over her instagram stories and tell her audience about my Mojito Facial. I think it's gonna take off.
On Friday I was notified about two separate features about janny: organically that went live! One is with Beauty Independent, the other with Wabi-Sabi Botanicals. I'm beyond grateful for your support and humbled that anyone bothers to read anything I ever write! You can click on the images below for the full article/interview.

Q: How to show that $f(z)= 1/(z-a)$ is periodic with period $2\pi i$? From Ahlfor's book, Complex Analysis, page 149:
"The particular function $1/(z-a_j)$ has the period $2\pi i$."
How can one see this is true?
I tried writing $z$ as $|z| e^{i \arg{z}}$ and using the definition of periodic $f(z+\omega)=f(z)$, but I can't seem to work out the details this way.

A: Ahlfors is talking about a different kind of period there, which are not the same as periods in the definition of a periodic functions. Indeed, on page 147 Ahlfors defines periods to be the values of the contour integrals
$$\int_{\gamma_i}f\,dz,$$
where $\gamma_i$ are a homology basis of the domain. In the case of the domain $\Omega'=\{0<|z-a_j|<\delta_j\}$ discussed in the cited passage, homology basis has precisely one element $\gamma$, which is a counterclockwise loop $\gamma$ going once around $a_j$ contained in $\Omega'$ (we would also take a clockwise loop, which would change the sign of the result, but nothing else), and therefore we have exactly one period of $f(z)=\frac{1}{z-a_j}$, namely
$$\int_\gamma\frac{dz}{z-a_j}=2\pi i.$$
I would also like to mention that the terminology, while perhaps confusing, is not unjustified. There is a general theory explaining it, but let me explain it in a special case of a function $\frac{1}{z}$.
As you probably know, if we fix a base point $1$, then for $z_0\neq 0$ the value of an integral
$$\int_1^{z_0}\frac{dz}{z}$$
is not well-defined - indeed, it depends on the choice of the path from $1$ to $z_0$. However, we can consider a "multivalued function" which arises this way, by considering all possible values. This, as you can easily figure out yourself, is the logarithm function $\log z$. Moreover, while this function is not well-defined, its inverse function, $e^z$, is, and moreover it is, surprise, periodic with period $2\pi i$! You can actually figure that out directly from the fact that the integral over a circle is equal to $2\pi i$.
In general this is more complicated, because you have to consider integrals of multiple functions (or, more precisely, differential forms); essentially, this means that you have to choose a basis of not just homology, but also cohomology. Nevertheless, the idea is essentially the same.

A: It is not periodic in that sense. By period he means the integral over a small circle about $a$, and you know this is $2\pi i$.

Converting a survey from Windows to Android is pretty simple, although it has to be followed by a few steps in order to make it work.
However, this How-To will show you how either to convert your survey or to keep it a Cross-Platform survey, supported by Windows & Android.
2. What is needed to change before switching and why?
3. Removing scripts, converting the survey and re-adding the scripts.
This choice will affect your survey's scripts later on.
However, if you haven't programmed your survey to be Cross-Platform, you would get an error message while doing it, so you would need to go through the process described below.
Basically, this is simpler than what it looks like.
c. Do not forget rules 'a' and 'b' J.
Functions definitions you implemented in the 'Advanced Scripts'.
A Questions 'Start Scripts' and 'End Scripts'.
Here for example, I used our built-in functions, which are Cross-Platform.
Hence, it would work on both Android & Windows based surveys.
Ok, for the main and final step, here I will describe how we recommend doing do whole process of converting your survey.
Lets say for example, our survey is currently a 'Windows Based Survey' and we have lots of C# syntax all over it.
However, we also wouldn't be able to switch the survey into 'Android Based Survey', seems like we are stuck?
Go over your survey (all of the locations I indicated in part 2 which include 'Entrance Rules, Validation rules, Jump Rules, Start scripts, End scripts'), Cut & Paste, First of all, all of your non-cross-platform scripts which use C# syntax, besides the 'Advanced Scripts' , to windows notepad.
After that, Cut & Paste all of the 'Advanced Scripts' to the same notepad.
When you get lots of these it is much more comfortable to write some notes in order to prevent mistakes when pasting it back.
You should edit your code in the notepad, to be implemented with Java Script.
Paste your scripts back, first of all to the 'Advanced Scripts', then, to the rest of the survey in the correct places, and you should be good to go.
When having to do this on a large survey, this might be a bit frustrating going over all of it and looking for the problematic segments.


LOS ANGELES – Reality TV mom Kate Gosselin has one fewer job to juggle.
The author and reality star was eliminated Tuesday from "Dancing With the Stars," leaving seven couples in the competition.
Gosselin failed to ignite the ballroom, landing near the bottom of the judges' leaderboard during five weeks of dancing. She and professional partner Tony Dovolani came into Tuesday's results show with the week's lowest score: 15 points out of 30 for a lackluster foxtrot.
"I think Tony could have had more life out of a frock on a coat hanger," judge Bruno Tonioli said Monday.
Judges' scores are combined with viewer votes to determine which celebrity is eliminated each week.
Dovolani praised his partner as she dabbed her eyes with a tissue after learning their fate.
"I give her all the credit for showing up, as exhausted as she was, she still showed up every day," he said. "You showed America that it doesn't matter how much things go against you, you still come out here and give it your best."
Gosselin, a 35-year-old mother of twins and sextuplets, starred for several seasons with her ex-husband, Jon, in the hit TLC reality show "Jon & Kate Plus 8." The show collapsed as the couple's marriage fell apart.
She said through tears Tuesday that she was honored to have been on the hit ABC show.
"I love everyone that I met," she said, apologizing for being "a crybaby."
"It was a great experience," she continued. "I had a wonderful teacher."
She said that despite her low scores, she gave her best in the ballroom.
"I was scared to death most of the time to be out here," she said.
Gosselin and her ex-husband are due in court in Pennsylvania on May 25 for a hearing on his motion for full custody. Earlier this month, his attorney accused the reality mom of neglecting the children to appear on "Dancing With the Stars," a charge her attorney rejected as "patently false."
Kate Gosselin is the fourth contestant to be dismissed from "Dancing." Soap star Aiden Turner, astronaut Buzz Aldrin and actress Shannen Doherty were eliminated on previous episodes.
Returning to dance on Monday's episode are singer Nicole Scherzinger, Olympic figure skater Evan Lysacek, actresses Pamela Anderson and Niecy Nash, reality star Jake Pavelka, sportscaster Erin Andrews and football star Chad Ochocinco.

The name "Schwarzbock" derives from the German word for black ("schwarz") and strong beer ("bock"). Pacific Schwarzbock is true to German-style bocks, with an alcohol content of 8%, yet remarkably drinkable with no alcohol taste but a nice warm body that beer connoisseurs are looking for.
Pacific Schwarzbock is brewed with just enough black malts to give the beer its deep black color without tasting burned. In fact, to the contrary, Pacific Schwarzbock has a nice velvety body with lots of warm mouth feel. The black malts come through just enough to provide a subtle hint of coffee notes.

Austria: The government loses no-confidence motion.
May 27, 2019 | General, Politics | 0 |
Austria's Chancellor Sebastian Kurz on Monday lost a no-confidence vote in Parliament, removing him and his Cabinet from office over a corruption scandal dubbed "Ibiza-gate" that brought down his coalition government. Kurz is one of the youngest leaders in the world.
Mr. Kurz decided to end his coalition with the far-right Austrian Freedom Party (FPO) and call early elections in the autumn. The Opposition said the 32-year-old leader must also take responsibility for the scandal and made an application for a no-confidence motion. The no-confidence vote against Kurz and his government took place in a special sitting of parliament with more than half of MPs withdrawing their support to Kurz. Kurz's former partner, the FPOe, also supported the motion. Kurz said that if the vote succeeded, he would ensure an orderly transition to whoever is appointed next. Parliament needed only a simple majority vote on Monday to pass the no-confidence motion to oust Kurz and his Austrian People's Party.
Now President Alexander Van der Bellen will appoint experts to lead the government and all the ministries until the elections. In the September vote Kurz could emerge strengthened.
The corruption scandal as exposed in a video published by German media which showed Vice-Chancellor Heinz-Christian Strache appearing to offer public contracts in return for campaign help from a fake Russian backer. Read more here.
All ministers from the far-right Austrian Freedom Party (FPO) resigned from the Cabinet.
Chancellor Kurz made a big win for his conservative People's Party (OeVP) in Sunday's European elections, which is projected to gain 34.9 percent of the vote and two extra European parliament seats. This did not help Chancellor Kurz to retain his post.

The problem with all three of these methods is they do not take into account the customer's perceived value of the product. Let's assume you are going to sell hats. The hats cost you $10 to make so you decide to sell them for $15. What if the people buying your hats only think they are worth $5? You are in big trouble. You cannot afford to sell hats for less than they cost you to make, but if that is the perceived value to your customers you will not sell any at $15. On the other hand, what if customers love your hats and would actually be willing to pay $20 per hat? You are cheating yourself out of $5 per hat. So how do you know what people will pay? Do the research before going to market. Either hire a market research firm, or do it yourself if you are on a budget. If people are willing to pay less than your cost to produce the hats, you will be avoiding disaster by knowing this information ahead of time. If people are willing to pay more than your perception of a fair price, you can be even more successful than you imagined.
Your price must be based on the perceived value to the customer. Price is a double-edged sword, and many companies find themselves falling into the trap of competing on price. Price is NOT a competitive advantage by definition because it can be copied easily and immediately by the competition. Price wars with the competition hurt everyone. Customers will be happy at first because they will get better deals, but be disappointed in the long term when prices go back up or their favorite company goes out of business. Price wars destroy the perceived value of the product in the marketplace. Even if your company wins the price war by undercutting the competition, customers will feel cheated when prices return to normal levels.
I went to McDonald's to get my 39-cent hamburger the other day, and to my dismay what had been 39 cents the previous six months is now all of a sudden 79 cents. I felt cheated, but if they had not been 39 cents the week before when I bought them, I would not have felt that paying 79 cents was a big deal. Like millions and millions of other people, I have been going to McDonald's since I was a child. A few years ago they panicked and jumped into the price wars with their competition. This was a mistake. By creating their own "value menu," they started looking like everyone else. There is now nothing special about going there because they are just like their copycat competition. I just heard on the radio that McDonald's is closing almost 200 locations. It does not sound like the low price strategy is working.
Low price is not a valid competitive advantage, yet companies spend millions of dollars saying they are the low price leaders. Low price has no distinguishing characteristic about it, particularly when everyone is saying the same thing. Companies are also telling their customers to shop based on price. Therefore, if their competition has a lower price, they should go to them. Let me repeat, companies are paying for advertising that tells their customers not to be loyal, but to shop based on low price! Besides encouraging a price war and creating disloyalty, this violates Marketing Key 5: Building Relationships. By telling people that the lowest price is the best criterion for choosing a product, companies are discouraging customer loyalty based on reputation or quality of service. This practice is so prevalent that it is no wonder many people are confused about the proper place of price in a marketing plan. The good news is that after reading this, you now know better than your competition.
The answer to how to win a price war is to not get into one in the first place. If you find yourself in this situation, find a competitive advantage aside from price to promote then differentiate yourself and focus your marketing promotions on the advantage instead of price.
How smart is your marketing? Do you follow the crowd or set your own standards? People are attracted to innovative leaders, not copycats. Besides, most companies throw thousands of dollars down the drain on ineffective advertising- can your budget afford such waste? Start your education today- follow these seven keys to increase your marketing IQ and outwit your competition.
The first step is to determine what your organization does better than the competition. All marketing focuses on communicating to customers the advantage of your product over the competition. To compete in the marketplace, you must find what your company or organization offers better than the competition. What unique competitive advantage do you offer? What are the distinctive competencies that separate you from the pack? What strengths do you have that can not be easily or quickly copied by the competition? You should perform a SWOT analysis to help you find your advantage.
When determining the competitive advantage of the company, I caution you to avoid basing it on a supposedly unique product.
It is very difficult to have a sustained competitive advantage based on a product in our modern technological age. In the past, a technological innovation on a product could give a company the advantage for decades since others were not able to copy the product easily. Today successful products can be, and often are, copied in a matter of weeks if not days. Many software applications are copied (though not necessarily legally) almost immediately. For these reasons, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to hold a competitive advantage based on technology or a technologically superior product. That is why there has been a shift to the intangible elements of customer service and other value-added components in the marketplace. Low price, by definition, is not a competitive advantage because it can be quickly and easily copied by the competition. Competing on low price is an invitation to a price war. Competitive advantages today are usually based on service, reputation and longevity.
Why are you in business? What are you trying to achieve? How will you measure your success? Answering these questions is vital to defining your purpose. To determine and evaluate the direction and goals of your organization, you must have a clearly defined mission. Once you have developed a clear purpose, make sure all levels of the organization are in alignment and going the same direction. The best way to do this is to involve the stakeholders in the development of the mission in the first place, rather than a few decision makers deciding what they think is best and handing it down to be followed.
The purpose of advertising is to promote image and awareness. Before you can implement promotions (Key 4), you must create an image. An image is both a concept and a physical visual representation. To compete today, you must have the right look. It is not enough to have a good product; you must also be able to attract the attention of the audience. The look should enhance the image of the product while maintaining alignment with the mission (Key 2) and promoting the competitive advantages of the organization (Key 1).
The key elements of image are the logo, colors and style, and branding. The logo is the visual symbol of your product or organization- it should be pervasive in all of your communications. Imagine police officers wearing pink and rainbow stop signs- this sounds strange because every color has meaning. Make sure your business is using the right colors for the message you are conveying. These elements provide recognition of your brand- but a brand is more than looks. A brand is the promise you are making to your customers. Crest promises clean teeth and Tide clean clothes. You recognize the names and the colors- but a promise kept is what makes the brand. Your brand is your reputation for keeping promises and the greatest asset you own.
Promotion is the nuts and bolts of the marketing process. The promotion element is what most consumers see and think of when you mention marketing. Promotion includes advertising, public relations, sales promotion, personal selling, direct marketing, and internet/interactive techniques.
Before spending money on promotion, make sure you have done the hard work in keys 1-3 to avoid wasted expense. Target your market and understand what will be the most effective use of your resources. Determine an effective pricing and distribution strategy based on your research.
Use as many appropriate promotional tools as possible and integrate them together into one cohesive and powerful communication device. Do this by maintaining a consistent look, feel and message. Link individual promotions together- print ads with a web address, web pages with in-store coupons- for a maximum and measurable response. Remember the goal of your promotions is to turn prospects into customers, and customers into long term relationships.
In today's competitive marketplace, the best way to insure your investment is to establish relationships with customers. By building and cultivating these connections, you establish a protected relationship. People will continue to do business with you because they know and trust you. Make yourself invaluable to your customers, and they will likely be yours for life. You will also gain valuable feedback on how to improve in the future.
Gaining feedback is what tells you whether you are on the right path with your customers. You have already done the hard work of developing a roadmap for success in your marketing plan. Feedback will tell you whether you are on the right track or veering off course. Use surveys, response cards, the internet, phone calls, focus groups, market development groups, and feedback from salespeople to gain information, learn and improve your marketing efforts.
Companies must consistently assess their position in the marketplace and make necessary adjustments to remain competitive. After gaining feedback, businesses must revisit, reevaluate and revise their competitive advantage, mission, goals, alignment, promotions, and relationships with customers. In other words go back to Key 1 and start over.

If you follow the prevailing logic of most modern companies, you will inevitably fall into this trap. Line extension is using an existing brand name or image and extending it to new products. Sounds like a good idea, right? Why not use the equity of your known brand to draw attention to a new product? The reason is that you tend to confuse customers as to what your brand means, and in the long run this strategy decreases overall market share.
For example, in 1978 7UP was the lemon lime Uncola with a 5.7% share of the soda beverage market. Trying to capitalize on this significant market share, they created 7UP Gold, Cherry 7UP, and assorted diet versions. Logic would dictate that with a greater product offering they would have gained a greater share of the market. On the contrary, their sales plummeted to 4.2%. Line extensions confuse customers.
o They don't do their homework. If companies took the time to investigate the lack of success of line extensions by other brands and companies, they might think better of the idea.
o	Ego. They feel so successful with their current brand they think they can carry the momentum to the next item by slapping their name on the label. They also don't think the seven keys to marketing apply to them.
o Copycats. Everyone else has line extensions so they reason that it is the proper strategy, not taking into account the number of line contractions that frequently occur.
o	Appearance of success. An insidious feature of this trap is that line extension usually has initial success. Consumers are usually curious about the new product with a familiar name and will try the new item initially, but long-term sales plummet. Some line extensions become market leaders further muddling the argument. But in those cases, it is usually because their direct competitors are also using line extensions such as Diet Coke vs. Diet Pepsi.
o	Appearance of growth. Most executives are paid to come up with ideas on how to grow the brand. By concocting new versions of a brand, it appears as though they are earning their paycheck since there are more items in the market with their brand name on the label.
o	Appearance of cost effectiveness. It would seem that extending a brand would be cheaper, since the company already has a place in the mind of the consumer. On the contrary, it often costs just as many, if not more, marketing dollars to educate the public about the new product line. In many cases, brands try to reeducate their consumers about what their name means. They are changing the promises made by the original brand.
An example of this is V8 Splash. V8 aired a commercial where a person drinking the new line of product is shocked to discover there is no tomato-y aftertaste. After decades of advertising and millions of dollars trying to get consumers to recognize V8 as a tomato beverage, they change the rules. In my book, this is a classic example of the line extension trap, and what not to do.
Of course there are times when it is a good move to expand a company by offering more products. A better strategy is to use co-branding (same company, different brand names). Coke has found success in this area with Sprite. Imagine if Coke had named its product Lemon Lime Coke. Sounds absurd, but think of the brands that have gone that direction. There is Pepsi Blue, which I still am not sure if it is berry colored, or berry flavored and I don't really care to find out. The new Mountain Dew Code Red is another confusing moniker, why didn't they just come up with a new name? But even a giant like Coke does not learn from its own success and follows with Lemon Coke. Each product needs its own image and word associated with it. If you feel you have significant market share where you are and you need to expand into new markets, co-branding is the better route. Proctor and Gamble has built an empire on co-branded products.
The 20th century taught businesses the power of specialization. Line extensions go against this theory by trying to make one brand all things to all people. As the saying goes "jack of all trades, master of none." People may not realize it at a conscious level, but they do categorize and choose brands known for a particular specialty. For this reason, marketers must narrow the focus of their product. The brands that stick in the brain are those that have a narrow, sharp, and focused tip. The broader the description and lines of a brand, the less likely it is to pierce the consumer's psyche. It is helpful to picture the brand as an actual object penetrating the brain tissue of the intended receiver. Imagine the customer standing in front of you with the top of his or her skull sawed off. The squishy gleaming brain matter is sitting exposed before you. If you are using a broad, expansive tool, it will not get past the gray matter. By creating a narrow focused point, the brand is able to puncture the brain tissue. I know this is a grotesque illustration, but I bet I got it to it stick in your brain.
"Heroin content" is what web usability guru Vincent Flanders calls the information that people would crawl through a sewer for. Heroin is the most addictive drug on the planet so people will do anything for another fix. What does your website provide visitors that they just gotta have?
The unique quality of the internet is the ability to interact and customize content. Customized content keeps them coming back for more. Keep the connection alive by following up with useful information and news.
Customers that don't know you will likely find you through a search engine. The trick is getting the search engines to find you first. Invest in good search engine software, or pay someone who knows how it works.
People use search engines to find solutions to their problems. Is your site about solving your customer's headaches? Most sites are self centered. Make yours customer centered by providing answers to their questions.
Build relationships by providing value before the sale. When it comes time to purchase, you already have an established relationship. Ask yourself what you can do for your customer rather than what your customer can do for you.
Don't create a million dollar website with ten cent navigation. Simple easy to follow navigation is far more effective than nonsensical animated graphics. Think Google!
Your site reflects your work ethic and the type of service you are likely to provide your customers. Put some time, effort and money into your site to show you are top notch.
People are looking for an original and authentic voice, not the same boiler plate information. Nobody likes stiff and snobby people and they won't like their websites either. Take advantage of the rare opportunity when someone reads your content to make a real personal connection.
A funnel is a good way to think of the marketing process. The top is very broad and consists of using mass marketing techniques. Mass marketing includes items like mass mailings, national advertising, billboards, and airing commercials during the Super Bowl. The marketing message is sent to a broad audience with little or no discretion. Mass marketing is very expensive, difficult to evaluate, and has a low return on investment. Mass marketing is a stab in the dark, like trying to find needles in a haystack. The next section of the funnel narrows the target audience into market segments. The communications still appeal to a large audience, but they are at least targeted to a specific market segment by means of the chosen media.
Cat Fancy magazine, ESPN, and the Oxygen website each target a specific segment of the market: cat lovers, sports enthusiasts, and women, respectively. Next, we narrow the target audience further into niche or specialty markets. Harley Davidson, Barbie, and Macintosh computers each appeal to a specialty area of the market. The bottom of the funnel is the customized or one-to-one area of the funnel. The consumer being on a first-name basis with the product or service provider often characterizes these markets. Mike the mechanic, Bill the barber, Doc Baker are all one-to-one relationships in which the customer and service provider know each other personally. Through the use of technology and mass customization, these relationships can be available on a wide scale such as in the case of the "My Yahoo!" page.
ROI stands for return on investment. Every one of the techniques in the funnel will gain customers. The question is which technique will provide the greatest return on investment. A Super Bowl ad is sure to create interest and generate new customers, but at what price? The same amount of money spent at the bottom and targeted directly at ideal customers will produce a much greater return on investment. Two benefits of targeting the bottom of the funnel are the likelihood of a positive response and the kinds of relationships that are established. Relationships on the bottom of the funnel are more committed and not easily broken. One-to-one customers form the bedrock, the foundation, for any successful product line. These people are not likely to change to a competitor due to the mutual commitment they feel between themselves and the brand.
Customers at the bottom of the funnel can and should become your best marketing tool. They are positive multipliers that spread the word to friends and family. There are three levels of the one-to-one section: the customer, the referent, and the advocate. The customer will continue to buy the product and not switch to the competition. The referent will continue to buy the product and will tell others about the product when asked (give referrals). The advocate will continue to purchase the product, will actively promote the product, and will convince others to buy it. The goal of every marketer is to gain advocates for the product.
To summarize, the top of the funnel is the most expensive with the least return on investment and the least amount of consumer loyalty, while the bottom of the funnel is the least expensive with the greatest return on investment and the greatest amount of consumer loyalty. Getting consumers to the bottom is the goal. Marketers should always be guiding their consumers to the bottom of the funnel where the costs are less and the relationships are stronger.
Why would anyone market to a mass audience at the top of the funnel? There are three reasons marketers come in from the top of the funnel: lack of education, sloth, and lack of opportunity. The majority of people marketing products do not know anything about the marketing funnel. If you know anyone that needs to be a more effective marketer, I urge you to advocate this book to him or her. Millions of dollars are spent because that is just the way things have been done in the past, or that is what companies see from their competitors. If you want to lead the market, then innovate instead of imitating.
On the other hand, some people are too lazy to work on building these types of relationships with customers. Often it is easier to pay for a television commercial or a billboard than to figure out how to establish one-to-one relationships with thousands of target customers.
The final reason is lack of opportunity. Sometimes when marketing a new product, it is necessary to enter the market from higher up in the funnel. If this is the case, steer your customer relationships down the funnel as quickly as possible. For example, if you must enter the market by means of a national newspaper advertisement, link the ad to a customizable website or some other tool that allows the relationship to develop further and reduces the need for future mass marketing efforts.
If you aren't on Twitter it is hard to explain. It really needs to be experienced. If you are on Twitter I'm sure you have asked yourself how a site that is so simple and yet is constantly down due to technical difficulties can survive. Here's 5 reasons why Twitter will survive.
When I first heard about Twitter I thought it was pretty stupid. Why would anyone want to blog in short sentences. Then a friend recommended it and I read an article in Wired Magazine. I finally gave it a try and got hooked. As the Wired article postulates, it gives you a sense of what is happening in the lives of those around you. It's also a great way to look back at what you really do all day which can be good or bad.
The Twitter developers had a hunch it was not stupid when they created it. Since they were probably the only ones, they had the market to themselves. First to market is a fantastic competitive advantage since it literally can not be copied without the aid of time travel.
Lots of people using your stuff means lots of other people wanting or needing to use it to connect to them. Twitter has lots of users.
Because Twitter lacks some features, many third party apps developed to sync with it. Today there are tons of social platforms like Facebook that sync with Twitter. Twitter has become the glue that links these different sites and keeps your status updated across them all. Kind of like Tolkien's One Ring.
Ya it's not fancy and breaks down a lot- kind of like your first car, but that is part of the endearing quality of Twitter. It has a bit of the underdog story going for it. Plus, people love to complain and lots of down time makes for great tweets about the lack of service when it comes back up. Humans are funny that way.
Eventually Twitter will work out its technical difficulties and be a reliable communications hub. It will probably get bought by Microsoft or Google and become a mainstay on the web. I think we will miss these days. I can't help but think this is the golden age of Twitter. Tweet on.
Are you on Twitter? What do you think?

Asad : SAY [O Prophet]: "Whosoever is an enemy of Gabriel" - who,- verily, by God's leave, has brought down upon thy heart this [divine writ] which confirms the truth of whatever there still remains [of earlier revelations], and is a guidance and a glad tiding for the believers -:
Malik : Say O Muhammad: "Whoever is the enemy of Jibra'el (Gabriel) should know that he revealed this Qur'an to your heart by Allah's command, which confirms previous scriptures, and is a guidance and good news for the believers."

Note - 101
A party of the Jews in the time of Muhammad ridiculed the Muslim belief that Gabriel brought down revelations to Muhammad Mustafa. Michael was called in their books "the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people": (Daniel xiii. 1). The vision of Gabriel inspired fear (Daniel, viii. 16-17). But this pretence - that Michael was their friend and Gabriel their enemy - was merely a manifestation of their unbelief in angels, apostles, and God Himself; and such unbelief could not win the love of God. In any case it was disingenuous to say that they believed in one angel and not in another. Muhammad's inspiration was through visions of Gabriel. Muhammad had been helped to the highest spiritual light, and the message which he delivered and his spotless integrity and exemplary life were manifest Signs which every one could understand except those who were obstinate and perverse. Besides, the verses of the Qur-an were in themselves reasonable and clear.
