Adjusted EBITDA of $9.7 million
Increased full year revenue guidance
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Limelight Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ:LLNW, news, filings) (Limelight), a leading provider of video delivery and edge cloud services, today reported revenue of $58.5 million for the second quarter of 2020, up 28 percent, compared to $45.9 million in the second quarter of 2019. Year-over-year currency impact was negative by approximately $0.1 million.
Limelight reported a GAAP net loss of $1.7 million, or $(0.01) per basic share for the second quarter of 2020, compared to net loss of $7.2 million, or $(0.06) per basic share in the second quarter of 2019.
Non-GAAP net income was $3.5 million or $0.03 per basic share for the second quarter of 2020, compared to a non-GAAP net loss of $3.5 million, or $(0.03) per basic share in the second quarter of 2019.
EBITDA was $4.5 million for the second quarter of 2020, compared to negative $2.2 million for the second quarter of 2019. Adjusted EBITDA was $9.7 million for the second quarter of 2020 compared to $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2019.
Limelight ended the second quarter with 627 employees and employee equivalents, up from 616 at the end of the first quarter of 2020, and up from 594 at the end of the second quarter of 2019.
"This is our best ever second quarter financial performance. Our growth, including the over 400 basis point sequential improvement in gross margin, is due to strong execution of our 2020 strategy. Through our relentless focus on expanding capacity, optimizing proactive management of our network, placing more control in the hands of our customers and driving innovation, we are seeing strength across our business and are raising our revenue guidance for 2020," said Robert Lento, Chief Executive Officer.
As the world continues to navigate through these uncertain times, we play an important role in connecting people to information and entertainment. COVID-19 has created an increased global reliance on the Internet and content delivery, and we expect to emerge larger and financially stronger when the pandemic ends. The remarkable dedication of our people adapting to the challenging times, and the commitment to meeting increased demand with uncompromised quality for our customers is particularly noteworthy. We recognize many face challenges during these times and will continue our efforts to provide value and help overcome the consequential impact of the pandemic on our communities," Lento added.

To evaluate our business, we consider and use non-generally accepted accounting principles (Non-GAAP) net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as supplemental measures of operating performance. These measures include the same adjustments that management takes into account when it reviews and assesses operating performance on a period-to-period basis. We consider Non-GAAP net income (loss) to be an important indicator of overall business performance. We define Non-GAAP net income (loss) to be U.S. GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude share-based compensation. We believe that EBITDA provides a useful metric to investors to compare us with other companies within our industry and across industries. We define EBITDA as U.S. GAAP net income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest and other (income) expense, and income tax expense. We define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA adjusted to exclude share-based compensation. We use Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure to review and assess operating performance. Our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures because, collectively, they provide valuable information on the performance of our on-going operations, excluding non-cash charges, taxes and non-core activities (including interest payments related to financing activities). These measures also enable our management to compare the results of our on-going operations from period to period, and allow management to review the performance of our on-going operations against our peer companies and against other companies in our industry and adjacent industries. We believe these measures also provide similar insights to investors, and enable investors to review our results of operations "through the eyes of management."
Furthermore, our management uses these Non-GAAP financial measures to assist them in making decisions regarding our strategic priorities and areas for future investment and focus.
The terms Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not defined under U.S. GAAP, and are not measures of operating income, operating performance or liquidity presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as analytical tools, and when assessing our operating performance, Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation, or as a substitute for net income (loss) or other consolidated income statement data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations include, but are not limited to:
EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
These measures do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
Non-GAAP net income (loss) and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect the cash requirements necessary for litigation costs, including provision for litigation and litigation expenses;
These measures do not reflect the interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt that we may incur;
These measures do not reflect income taxes or the cash requirements for any tax payments;
Although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will be replaced sometime in the future, and EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements;
While share-based compensation is a component of operating expense, the impact on our financial statements compared to other companies can vary significantly due to such factors as the assumed life of the options and the assumed volatility of our common stock; and
Other companies may calculate Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our U.S. GAAP results and using Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA only as supplemental support for management's analysis of business performance. Non-GAAP net income (loss), EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are calculated as follows for the periods presented in thousands:
In accordance with the requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, we are presenting the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP financial measures and reconciling the unaudited Non-GAAP financial metrics to the comparable U.S. GAAP measures. Per share amounts may not foot due to rounding.

For future periods, we are unable to provide a reconciliation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to net income (loss) as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, the amounts of depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest and other (income) expense and income tax expense, that may be incurred in the future.
At approximately 4:30 p.m. EDT (1:30 p.m. PDT) today, management will host a quarterly conference call for investors. Investors can access this call toll-free at 877 296 5190 within the United States or +1 412 317 5233 outside of the U.S. The conference call will also be audio cast live from http://www.limelight.com and a replay will be available following the call from the Limelight website.
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements include, among others, statements regarding our expectations regarding revenue, gross margin, non-GAAP net income (loss), capital expenditures, and our future prospects. Our expectations and beliefs regarding these matters may not materialize. The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from the results or outcomes predicted include, among other things, reduction of demand for our services from new or existing customers, unforeseen changes in our hiring patterns, adverse outcomes in litigation, and experiencing expenses that exceed our expectations. A detailed discussion of these factors and other risks that affect our business is contained in our SEC filings, including our most recent reports on Forms 10-K and 10-Q, particularly under the heading "Risk Factors." Copies of these filings are available online on our investor relations website at investors.limelightnetworks.com and on the SEC website at www.SEC.gov.

Mentors are urgently needed to help our children because nearly half of the youth population in the U.S. (17.6 million kids to be exact) is "at-risk" to get into trouble or "high-risk" and already in trouble.
Mentoring has proven to be one of the best solutions to helping our youth, but we need skilled mentors. It can be intimidating for people to mentor if they haven't had any experience. Even those who have been mentoring for a long time can run into difficult situations.
Mentor Youth Now is a one-of-a-kind book that covers all aspects of mentoring, from the basics to setting boundaries, teaching life skills and how to end a mentoring relationship. It's a precious resource that targets at-risk and high-risk youth.
Jill Gurr Profile
In 1996, Jill Gurr founded Create Now, a nonprofit organization based in Los Angeles that for 17 years transformed the lives of 33,000 youth in need through arts mentoring and experiences. She has personally mentored more than 50 at-risk and high-risk youth.
Through Create Now, Jill has matched and trained hundreds of volunteers in how to mentor thousands of the most troubled children in the Los Angeles and Orlando regions.
She is a produced screenwriter, having adapted the book Hit and Run by James Hadley Chase into the screenplay Rigged, which stars George Kennedy. The film was produced by CineStar Productions. Jill also wrote "Socrates," a PBS pilot for The Immortals series that stars Ed Asner. Several of her original scripts have been optioned by reputable producers.
Jill graduated with a B.S. degree in Broadcasting and Film from Boston University. She worked for many years all over the world as a Script Supervisor (continuity) on award-winning movies with famous actors and directors. She is fluent in Spanish, French and Italian.
She has been featured on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams, CNN's Anderson Cooper 360°, Fox11 News, NBC-TV and KTLA in their "Heroes at Home" segment, as well as in the Los Angeles Times and the Hollywood Reporter. Jill has been interviewed on several radio shows, including CBS Radio's "Open Line" and "Community Lights," KISS-FM, KLOS-FM, LA Talk Radio's "Mother Love" and the Rolanda Watts Show.
Jill was one of eight people in the country selected by the Simon Wiesenthal Center to be featured in "Everyday Heroes," an ongoing exhibition at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles.
She was chosen as one of the first four Americans to ever participate in a multilateral Global Xchange program sponsored by the British Council and Volunteer Services Organization. In 2010, Jill spent six weeks in Durban, South Africa and Belfast, Northern Ireland with 26 other community leaders from six countries (Sierra Leone, Rwanda, South Africa, France, UK and US), sharing best practices for mentoring youth.
Jill has been giving acclaimed presentations to international dignitaries and diplomats through the International Visitors Council, an adjunct of the U.S. State Department. As a result, on November 3, 2011, Create Now received the prestigious "2011 Community Resource Award" at the Wilshire Country Club.
Jill was selected as one of "100 Making a Difference" for the upcoming book by celebrity photographer John Russo and written by CNN Correspondent Elizabeth Chambers.

John Philip Kemble (1757 – 1823)
Brother to the famous Sarah Siddons, Kemble was an actor whose talent was reputed to be second only to his sister. He joined the company at Drury Lane in 1783 and in 1788 became its manager. Conflict with Sheridan, the owner, led to Kemble's resignation as manager in 1802. The next year, he became manager of Covent Garden. His father died that year, and Kemble took the money he'd inherited and invested it in Covent Garden. When the theatre burned down in 1808, he would have gone bankrupt but for a loan from the Duke of Northumberland. When the rebuilt theatre opened a year later, the higher prices Kemble set to help defray the cost of rebuilding led to the OP (Old Price) riots. The crowd shrieked and yelled and screamed so that the actors on stage could not be heard. This continued for 67 nights until a compromise was made and Kemble made a public apology. He retired from the stage in 1817 due to asthma. He moved to France and then to Switzerland for his health, and died in Lausanne in 1823.

Experiential learning isn't a packaged curriculum.
Social and emotional learning isn't an expensive workshop on managing stress in a classroom.
Student voice and choice aren't concepts sold in the latest book.
There is a worrying array of progressive products that diminish meaningful inquiry. Instead of embracing a radical change that disrupts the status quo, educators turn to relatively easy-to-implement products that take traditional ideas but "make them fun" using relatively forward-thinking ideas.
Creating "hooks" that take boring classes and relate them to students.
Providing mindfulness activities so traditional classrooms maintain order.
Using experiential learning as a "nice to have" activity after the "real" assessment (a test.) Usually these are more like arts & crafts.
Focusing on equity as a way to improve standardized test score performance, rather than connect to a community.
These neo-progressive ideas aren't horrible — they're certainly better than the alternative PowerPoint and quiz. I understand they offer educators a safe play in a stressful occupation, and I've used them. Administrators and peers tend to celebrate a "really cool" lesson plan where students pay attention, and many of them truly enjoy it. But the worrying line of thought is that these ideas undermine and ignore the pedagogy of progressive education. We're not embracing progressive ideas of voice, choice, and student empowerment if we're utilizing progressive techniques to actively undermine those ideas.
As in, a teacher who attends professional development on project-based learning learns all the elements of experiential learning: solving real problems, engaged in meaningful work, student choice in their outcomes, and using extensive time to solve it. However, instead of seeking out opportunities in the community that would love a school's connection, the teacher finds ways to pair the project to content standards, restricts student choices (sometimes only allowing them to do that one thing), and ultimately makes something that no one, outside of the student, teacher, and maybe their family, sees or cares about. For some students, this may be the best class they've ever taken — but we must push more. After all, students may not realize that school could be done differently.
Again, I've made the same mistakes. It's incredibly difficult to create a purposeful PBL experience — or practice progressive education at all in a public setting. I've told kids to stay on task to complete my lessons. I've experimented with gamification to get kids to "do the content." I've gotten angry at students for not listening to me. I did all of this without asking my students why they felt this way, or really catering to their interests. And the marketing, rollout, and administrative interest in experiential learning is likely ill-suited to the possibilities it provides. Dewey would turn over in his grave to find teachers brandishing his philosophy to do week-long "projects" to display their knowledge of a specific content standard.
There's nothing wrong with wanting to be better. It's our strive as educators to be curious learners, just as we want our students to be. These curriculum packages mislead us to thinking that we're transgressing our practice, but really we're doing traditional better.
For example, we care about social and emotional well-being. A school may purchase a web-based, video lesson guide on promoting mindfulness. At its core, it's a decent idea, but no one questions if their practice — the classroom or institution — is the cause of these problems. In addition, is offering every student SEL web courses actually helping them, or does the connection need to be individualized for each learner? Are we attempting to solve problems with surface-level solutions?
Or we care about student choice. We receive professional development that paints choice as choosing between three outcomes for an assignment. It's better than nothing — but certainly student choice could be choosing to do the lesson at all? Perhaps we should invite students to staff meetings and hear their voice at the school level? Why must they learn this content? Who decides?
It's not a menu of ideas, it's a pedagogy. If we put students at the center, they should be at the center. We must embrace the radical idea that a child is a human being who has consent in learning. This involves dramatically changing our classroom approach. It's not what activities we do, or what buzzword is being embraced, but how we value the learner and their background. Direct instruction, online programs, and gamified options can still exist — if that's what students choose and desire to have. For some students, that will be the case, for others, not. That's fine, and we must meet their needs.
Dismantling the authoritarian nature of traditional education won't be solved by making school interesting. At the end of the day, we'll still be ranking and sorting kids, dismissing their voice, punishing them for their decisions, providing a ludicrous amount of "content knowledge", making them compete against each other, and overall — dehumanizing them through the education system.
Shift to self-assessment, where students are in charge of assigning themselves a grade based off what they've learned.
Ask students what they want to do, while presenting to students that there are state confines they must work with. Then work with students to make that process as painless as possible.
Establish trust with students on a human-level. Don't yell at them. Don't make them feel stupid. Value them as people to learn with and treat them with respect. It's difficult when students have no choice to be there and may not want to be, but we can be an ally.
If we have to follow certain curriculum guides, morph them to the needs of our class. If our students truly hate it (provide them an outlet to give feedback that matters), then devise together a way to do similar content.
Find a way to be a little rebellious in a risky, yet not completely maniacal, fashion. After all, the community you've built among students and their families — showing them that you care — will rally behind you.
So think twice before accepting that the latest thing in education is "progressive." There's a lot of snake oil and masked traditionalism out there. What should we look for?
A focus on motivation, curiosity, and interest over test scores and assessment.
Enabling students to express themselves for change beyond the little things.
Interesting lessons or projects that we propose to our students, but don't subject them to.
Finding ways for children to be more socially/emotionally stable at a systemic level, rather than a canned activity.
Concepts that focus on skills, rather than content, with the purpose of building those skills because the learner finds them valuable and desires it.

Going to Machu Picchu was amazing. It was beautiful to see the ruins and learn about their advanced culture. We had a guided tour for a few hours that went into detail about why the city was built the way it was and the general history behind their beliefs. We were able to then wader around for a few hours. I and a partner did both of the short, but free, hikes out of the city and back. We viewed the architecture and the sights of the beautiful city. Admired how good they were at making stairs (man there were a lot! Our knees were feeling it by the end of the day!). After spending 7 hours there we then hiked back down to Aguas Calientes because the line for the bus back down was so long.
This brings me to something that was incredibly obvious when we first got there. It was so incredibly touristy. Thousands of people are there daily, and it was kind of a shock after seeing a limited number of people for such a long time. I absolutely enjoyed my time up in Machu Picchu wandering the paths that people took so long ago, but I was very happy that the rest of our trip had not been like that. Anyway, after a lovely sunny day at Machu Picchu we all slept very well and then headed back to Cusco the next day for our adventure to come to a close.
Little did 6 of us know our adventure was not over yet! We were all supposed to fly from Cusco to Lima the night of the 21st and be home on the 22nd. Unfortunately our flight was canceled and we had to stay another night in Cusco. We were working off of little to no sleep but we managed to get our flights rescheduled home for the next day. We managed to make it home only 12 hours late (which was around 2:15 am on the 23rd!). We were all very happy to be home after a couple stressful days. It was a stressful ending, but this was an incredible once in a lifetime experience for me and I am so happy that I went out of my comfort zone to go to Peru and explore the incredible biodiversity that it was to offer.
We spent our last day in the amazon basin exploring how crops are grown with a tropical climate. We discussed sustainability and viewed sustainable agriculture expieraments that were put together by the researcher there. It was fun to hear about his plans for the future, because he had just taken it over at the beginning of the year. We also enjoyed a tour of some medicinal and more traditional plants that are used by natives in Peru. That was interesting to hear the natural remedies and shows that plants are capable of a lot of things!
We left Villa Carmen and headed to Wayqecha where we did data analysis for a few days for our research projects. Man it was cold up there in the cloud forest! Moving from the amazon basin to the Andes was a shock! I wore a hat, gloves, and many layers while we were there, and I actually enjoyed eating hot food and having hot tea and coffee (eating hot food when it is hot and humid is surprisingly hard). We explored the forest near the biological station and got to enjoy the amazing views while we did many nature walks. It was incredible to see the difference in habitats from what we had just come from.
On our last day at Wayqecha we went on a hike to a suspension bride. We looked at environmental differences between the peaks and valleys of the hills along the way. We all got to cross the suspension bridge and see what the view of the forest would be like from the trees. It was a great way to learn about plant adaptations for a damp and cloudy environment.
Next thing I knew we were on our way back to Cusco! Time was flying by, and we were already saying goodbye to the rainforest as we weaved our way back to civilization.
We had a rain and thunderstorm on the 5th. It was our first and only rain that we had, but boy; it rained hard when it did. We had started mist netting that morning, but had to close the mist nets and run back to the station when it started down pouring. The soil is so bad that the station flooded within the first few hours of rain (and it continued to rain intensely until late afternoon). It was fun to experience the rain, but I am glad that was not happening for most of our trip.
We finished up our bird research in the next few days, and then it was already time to leave CC. It went by really fast and I had gotten so comfortable with the atmosphere. It was really nothing like I was expecting. I was expecting every other plant and insect to be poisonous and most things could kill you, but it really wasn't like that at all. I felt very at ease on my last days at CC.
We went on a night walk to the beach one of the last nights, and it was fun! It surprisingly wasn't scary to wander around in the dark in the amazon. I felt curious and excited even though we had to get up early the next morning. I will most likely not go to CC again in my life, so I wanted to make the most of it. We saw lots of frogs, and moths, and insects like spiders and cicadas. Fun fact: Spiders eyes reflect light. So when you have your headlamp on at night, and you're just walking through the woods, you can see a lot more eyes than you would expect. But again, it wasn't frightening; it was just fun and exciting to see what was out there. Will definitely miss my time at CC!
We left CC and made our way to Villa Carmen Bio station. We got to sleep in beds for the first time in a while. I slept very well after a long day of traveling by boat and bus. It was still warm because we were in the amazon basin still, and I should have enjoyed it, because after Villa Carmen heat was not going to be an issue anymore!
Giant River Otter saying Hello!
Over the next few days we continued to learn more basics about our surroundings. We learned the dominant plant and insect families because they are both very important, and very abundant, in the amazon rainforest. They are equally as important for the ecosystems because they are the primary producers and primary consumers for the rest of the ecosystem. We also continued to explore the environment we were living in through nature walks or through canoeing in the mornings. The giant river otters came to investigate our canoes one morning!
Later in the week we started discussing research techniques for ecology. One that was very important to me was mist netting because we were in the bird research group. We learned how to set up mist nets to capture birds and I was pleasantly surprised how much I liked doing it and I liked seeing the birds up close to take measurements and pictures. I would not have considered myself a bird person before this trip because I had no background with it, but they were starting to grow on me. We got further into our research project and our group got to start handling the birds a bit more and that was fun, but bird research is an early task! Birds are most active in the mornings, so we went to open mist nets at dawn every morning.
I was starting to get used to CC life, and I was really enjoying my time there. I was surprised my back wasn't hurting from sleeping on my sleeping pad for so long, but it continued to be fine the rest of the trip as well. I was also getting used to the heat, and sweating in full length cloths all day. It wasn't bad because everyone could relate to what you were experiencing. Once you started to relax about the atmosphere you were able to enjoy it much more. You could appreciate all the life around you and listen to all the sounds of the jungle. My favorite part was waking up in the dark mornings and listening to all the sounds. You would hear howler monkeys, birds, and a lot of bugs, but they all played together into this indescribable symphony. That is what I will miss the most now that I am home. The sounds were unlike anything I have ever heard before, it was incredible.
Back from Peru and I would not trade that experience for anything. It was an amazing month full of once in a lifetime experiences that I got to share with many wonderful people along the way. I will be blogging about my time in five or so day chucks to try and go over some of my best memories and lessons I learned. A month is a long time to try to catch up on, so I will do my best (luckily we were required to journal for the program!). I am a very visual person, so my blog will be full of pictures! Enjoy!
We made it to Cusco, Peru a couple days ago and had some time to acclimate to the elevation. Brianna and I slept a lot and drank lots of Coca tea to ease our aliments. We met our group on the 26th at noon and got to know everyone a little more and get our schedule figured out. Then the next morning we were off to start our adventure!
The next three days consisted of our group busing and boating to reach Cocha Cashu Biological Station. The first day was a 14 hour bus ride from Cusco to Atalaya where we spent the night. This is a picture of the view when we reached the highest point of the Andes we were crossing. Also here is a map to help track where we were!
Then the next two days were 8 hour beautiful boat rides along the Madre de Dios and Manu rivers. The boat rides were full of bird and other animal's sightings along the way. We also had a chance to talk about river dynamics which was fun to learn about while we were in it and navigating the shallow waterways. We spent one night at a ranger station called Limonal where we camped, and then we were up early for another day of boat riding on the Manu River! Here are a few pictures I captured along my way to Cocha Cashu, there were a lot more, but these are my favorite!
We finally reached Cocha Cashu (CC) late on the 29th and we quickly set up our tents and had dinner and we were off to bed. The first few night in the amazon were the hardest. It was hot and humid, and we were advised to wear long pants, long sleeves, and boots at all times of the day. Sweating was pretty constant at most times of the day. Our saving grace was the cold showers. That was my favorite time of the day because I got a break to be normal temperature for a few minutes!
Our first real day at CC was great. I saw spider monkeys in the wild! I was also stung by a bee for the first time in my life because I was trying to balance myself while taking off my rubber boots (Look were you put your hands!! They will tell you this over and over!). The amount of life here is unlike anything I have ever seen and we are so immersed in it because we are camping and limiting our needs for excess. Waking up and going to sleep to the forest sounds was unlike anything you could experience in the United States. The biting bugs I could do without, but they come with the territory, and really they aren't bad except near water. I am excited to see what the rest of my time here will bring!
August 21, 2017. Blog by Pearle Maki, Biology major, From Andes to Amazon: Biodiversity, Conservation and Sustainability in Peru.
So, I leave for Cusco, Peru in 2 days, and I will be there for a month staying at biological stations and studying biodiversity in one of the most biodiverse places on earth! I chose this program because it sounded like an amazing opportunity for me to get out of my comfort zone and try new things learning about one of my favorite topics!
I am very excited that I could have this opportunity to study abroad in Peru. I am also a bit nervous and anxious about leaving. I am anxious because I know little to no Spanish, but I know that I will be able to get around ok because my traveling partner knows a little. I know it will be a lot of fun, but I have not been away from my friends and family for that long. And we will have very little availability for contacting them once the program starts. It will be nice to be away from technology, and my friends and family have been really supportive of me going!
Anyway! Packing has been a lengthy process for me. We got the list of our essentials (including sleeping bag, sleeping pad, and tent, among other things) in the beginning of June and I have been slowing chipping away at everything we need and I think I finally have it all! Now I have to try to make it all fit in my duffle! I spent a Sunday at the beginning of August trying to fit everything in 2 backpacking packs, but it literally took me all day and I still couldn't fit it all in. I resorted to a duffle bag because it can fit more, and it is way easier to find stuff in! Now if only I could fit Riley in too (The chocolate lab on the bed). I will miss her and her sister very much when I am gone too.
I made a few additions to the packing list because I am not sure what is available down there, and we will be spending 10 days camping in Manu National Park, so I would like to be prepared if I need to be! I made sure to bring melatonin, earplugs (I am a light sleeper), cold medicine, Benadryl/Calamine/Tea tree oil (for all the bug bites), Neosporin, toilet paper (herd this from another student), Pepto-Bismol. Those were the last few things I added in addition to Advil, and my normal prescriptions.
I will be heading out this week, and I will not be able to blog while I am there, but I will when I get back in about a month. So, stay tuned, and wish me luck!

Q: PDF generation using DOMpdf in CodeIgniter I am trying to generate a pdf using dompdf.

When I run the  script, I get an internal server error with the following error :
A PHP Error was encountered
Severity: Warning
Message: Illegal string offset 'hex'
Filename: include/style.cls.php
Line Number: 1422
How can I solve this problem?

A: This problem is fixed in dompdf 0.6
or you may correct it by adding a condition in:
dompdf/include/style.cls.php
then search for if ( is_null($col) )  (may be: Line 1422 or near of it)
if ( is_null($col) )
$col = self::$_defaults["color"];
//see __set and __get, on all assignments clear cache, not needed on direct set through __set
$this->_prop_cache["color"] = null;
$this->_props["color"] = $col["hex"];
}

add this condition also, and try.
if (is_array($col))
     $this->_props["color"] = $col["hex"];

A: Step 1: Download Dompdf library from "https://github.com/dompdf/dompdf/releases".
Step 2: paste it in libraries folder like "\xamppp\htdocs\codeigiter\application\libraries".
Step 3: Also Create one file named like "Pdf.php" in libraries folder and paste below code in it.

require 'dompdf/autoload.inc.php';
use Dompdf\Dompdf;

class Pdf extends Dompdf
{
public function __construct()
    {
    parent::__construct();
    $dompdf = new Dompdf();
    }
}
?>

Step 4: Create pdf controller and paste below code in this and run controller.
  <?php defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

class Printbill extends CI_Controller {

public function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->load->library('pdf');

"Crystal Maidens" interview with Superhippo Games – Lewd game development and plans for the future
by Robin Ek> in Interviews - 01/19/18 at 3:48 AM
I think most of our readers (and viewers) are more than aware of the fact that I love lewd content by now. So it should come as no shock to anyone that I'm always hungry to do interviews with game developers who create awesome lewd games. Well, guess what? Just recently I/we got the chance to do an interview with Superhippo Games. So we talked about everything from "Crystal Maidens", lewd game development, lewd games and Superhippo's plans for the future.
So with that said, please enjoy our interview with Superhippo Games =)
Superhippo Games have worked on quite few different titles in the past (such as "Don't Be Squared" and "Pirate Legends TD"). Even so, "Crystal Maidens" is most likely the game that has put them on the Gaming map.
Robin TGG
I'm going to start off this interview by letting you introducing yourself to our readers. So please go ahead and do so =)
Hi, this is Vincent from the team behind Crystal Maidens. I'm the product manager, which means that I foresee the planning and execution of all the art and features that end up in the game.
How did Super Hippo come to be? And how did you come up with that name for your studio? (no offense, but it doesn't sound very lewd-like).
SuperHippo started out as a game studio trying to make it in the big realm of game development, so it did not start as a lewd-game developer. The company published two titles, Pirate Legends and Don't be Squared, and like so many other developers out there, failed pretty badly at monetizing them. The gaming industry has become so competitive, with thousands of games being launched every day, so you must have a really good game, a specific player niche in mind, and also quite a bit of luck to be successful.
Just recently Superhippo Games launched a "behind the scenes" video for "Crystal Maidens", and in that video the viewer got a chance to get an idea of how "Crystal Maidens" came to and what it is that makes the game tick.
Just recently you released a rather interesting "behind the scenes" video for "Crystal Maidens" which gave the viewers a pretty good idea about the development process (that magic behind it all). However, I would still like to know more about the game's development process and history. For example, how did it all start? And how did you come up with the name "Crystal Maidens"?
The development of Crystal Maidens started a long time ago actually; we're talking November 2015. At that time, there were very few successful games on the Android store, Heroes Charge and Soul Hunter come to mind, and we thought they were pretty… boring.
The battle mechanic was so simple; it felt like you could not influence the outcome at all and everything was pre-determined. I've been playing RTS games since I was a kid, so I could not understand how so many people could play such a brain-dead game mechanic. What we did like; however, from these games was the meta game, everything surrounding how you evolve your heroes, acquire skills, items, etc. So we basically decided to take the best of the meta game, and improve drastically on the combat mechanic to give the player more choice about how he can influence the battle.
As for the name Crystal Maidens, well we wanted players to quickly see that there was going to be some interesting lady characters, so Maiden was chosen pretty early. We had different variations with the word Maiden, but Crystal Maidens just came out on top.
I think it's safe to say that the people behind the art and designs of "Crystal Maidens" are very talented and skilled.
Who's the master mind behind the awesome art designs, characters and animations in "Crystal Maidens"? Furthermore, did it take a long time to come up with everything? And which part was the hardest nut to crack (no pun intended).
We reviewed work by a lot of artists from around the world before settling down on our current illustrator. We wanted someone who could bridge the gap between Western art and the Japanese anime look. We finally chose to work with an artist from Korea that instilled a lot of life into the game. I can't reveal his name because pornography is actually illegal in Korea, so I wouldn't want to cause him any trouble 😉
I think the hardest is just trying to come up with new ideas for the girls, the scenes, and the art after we have explored all the common ideas. Thankfully, we get help from our community on Discord and Facebook with all sorts of new concepts.
Yes, you can actually get laid with every single maiden in "Crystal Maidens" *cough cough*
Did you decide from the very start that you were aiming to make a really lewd RTS/RPG with building and visual novel elements? Or what was that something that you came up with later on?
No, we decided to go that way about halfway through the project. It just made a lot of sense, there is a big community asking for new, high-quality lewd games, but very few of them are released, so we thought that niche had a lot of potential.
Is there any limits for how lewd "Crystal Maidens"? will become in the future? I mean, sure. The game is already pretty darn lewd, but there is always room for more lewd content *cough cough*
There are two things that limit us, one is what is allowed on the Nutaku platform, and the other is how far do we want to go. I would say right now the lewd content currently in the game is pretty soft compared to some of the content that we plan to release in the near future 😉
Sadly enough, there is no girl on girl action to be found in "Crystal Maidens". Well, at least not to my knowledge. However, perhaps Superhippo Games will add some Yuri action into the game in the future?
I could be wrong now, but I don't recall ever seeing any girl on girl action in "Crystal Maidens"? And perhaps it would be a good idea for the player to have the option to play as a female? (that would also make it possible for us to get some awesome Yuri scenes).
That is something we get asked a lot, so we are definitely looking into it. If you had the chance to play the Xmas Event and receive the exclusive character, Naku, there is a nice surprise waiting for you, and it is something we will be exploring more in the future.
There are (at this moment) 18 different maidens that you can "play" with in "Crystal Maidens", maidens such as Billie here.
If my memory doesn't fail me now, there are 18 maidens in "Crystal Maidens" right? Well, if I recall everything right. You did mention in the "behind the scenes" video that you plan to add more maidens into the game in the future. So, what did you have in mind? And will the players/fans get a chance to make some requests?
We have a lot of maidens that are just waiting on a few tweaks before they are released. We already received some requests during the soft launch, and you will see some of these requests take shape in the near future. We always want to do something special when we release new Maidens, because we've been working so hard to get them to the players, so stay tuned for more contests and events to correspond with the release of the new Maidens.
For each maiden there are a number of +18 lewd scenes that you can unlock "if" you flirt and charm the said maiden enough.
I'm kind of curious to know what the lewd content development process looks like? I mean, does everyone in the team just gather around a screen and brainstorm like crazy? Or is there one or two guys who just go through tons of lewd pictures and movies in search for some inspiration to get a spark or two to create some lewd awesomeness?
There's actually a lot of research to guide our artist to create the best scene for a specific character. Now less so than at the beginning, since our illustrator knows more about what we're looking for, but there's always an initial brainstorm, and several sketches before getting the final character and scene.
We try to define who this character is; where she comes from, what her purpose is in this world, what does she likes, even her hobbies and favorite food. It helps our artist, and our writer come up with a cohesive look and feel for a specific character. For the scenes, yes, there were a lot of looking through a mountain of X-rated content. Now we have a big bank of positions and facial expressions, so it's much faster 😉
After a couple of hours of "Crystal Maidens, " I couldn't help myself from thinking of the game as a mix of Clash of Clans", "DOTA", "Magic the Gathering" and +18 lewd content.
Not so long ago I stated that "Crystal Maidens" is like a mix of "Clash of Clans", "Magic the Gathering", "DOTA" and +18 lewd content. Well, do you think that I made a fair and accurate statement? Because that's at least the games that I thought of while playing "Crystal Maidens".
It's definitely close to Clash of Clans in the combat mechanics, although as mentioned in our behind the scene video we started working on Crystal Maidens before Clash of Clans was released. We are big players of League of Legends and DOTA, so I'm sure some of the experience we have in these games made its way to Crystal Maidens. For MTG, the strategic and timing aspect is very important also in our game, so yes I would say it's pretty accurate.
I'm truly glad that I got rid of my stomach flu just in time for last year's Christmas event in "Crystal Maidens" :3
Which lewd games besides "Crystal Maidens" would you say rocked 2017 like lewd god? And which lewd games have you enjoyed the most during 2017?
Well, Kamihime has such a high production value. So it's kind of impossible to miss. It's been an inspiration in the sense that it is a great game with great visuals, which is something we've been striving to do since the beginning. Furthermore, Armor Blitz has been surprisingly addicting, and the game has been getting better and better in the past few months.
Is there a possibility that we could be seeing some new classes and races for "Crystal Maidens" later this year? If so, is there anything that you could reveal right now?
I will say nothing currently planned in terms of new classes. In terms of new races, well yes, plenty of new types of Maidens are coming 😉 If you want a scoop, I would say some fairy dust might soon sprinkle over the world of Crystal Maidens…
If you don't like sexy maidens and lewd content, then you're most likely not going to enjoy "Crystal maidens" all that much. As the game contains a lot sexy ladies and lewd moments.
What have the feedback and reviews been from players and the games media so far? I mean, has the feedback been mainly positive? Or has the response been mixed?
Mainly positive, which really warms our hearts. Players love the art, and praise the "harder" gameplay compared to most of the games on the Nutaku platform. We've received a lot of great suggestions that we're looking to implement in the next builds.
The combat is very straight forward and non complex in "Crystal Maidens". You simply drag and drop your maidens into the battle field and then let them unleash their destructive powers upon your enemies.
I have a slight memory of not being able to use the arena building within the game. So I take it that it will be used for cooperative or competitive purposes among other players while playing online? If so, what's your plans for it in the future?
I can't talk too much about it right now, but I will say that more competitive and cooperative features are coming to Crystal Maidens in 2018.
Superhippo Games aims to improve, evolve and more content to "Crystal Maidens" during this year. So "hopefully" that means that we will get to play as some new and smoking hot maidens in the near future.
Since it's already 2018, I might as well ask you what you got for hopes, expectations and plans for the rest of the year? And is there anything else that you would like to add or tell our readers?
Our hope is to keep launching great new content for the players, all while tweaking the game and adding new features so players are still in love with the game going into 2019. I would like to thank all the players for playing and for being such a great community. Keep sending us your concerns, requests, and suggestions. That's how we'll make the game even better.

3 card skimmers found on Hy-Vee ATMs
Charly Haley
chaley@dmreg.com
Credit card skimmers were found on ATMs at three Des Moines area Hy-Vee stores on Saturday, the company said.
Hy-Vee's security personnel is working with police in Altoona, Des Moines and West Des Moines to investigate the three skimmers, which are devices that can steal credit or debit card information, according to a Hy-Vee news release.
The first skimmer was found Saturday evening at the Altoona Hy-Vee, 108 Eighth St. S.W. A customer had reported problems with the ATM and noticed the skimmer, so Hy-Vee employees called police.
Within an hour, Hy-Vee security started checking all ATMs at Des Moines area stores, and they discovered two other skimmers: one on an ATM at the Valley West Hy-Vee, 1700 Valley West Drive in West Des Moines, and another on an ATM at the Southridge Hy-Vee, 1107 E. Army Post Road.
Transactions at the stores' cash registers were not affected, the news release said. It appears the skimmers were on the ATMs in West Des Moines and Des Moines less than 12 hours before being discovered, according to the news release. Investigators are still working to determine how long the skimmer was on the Altoona Hy-Vee ATM.
Stop skimmers from stealing your money
Hy-Vee executives believe only a small number of people were affected by the skimmers, and the company will work with banks to notify customers who used the ATMs and may be affected, the news release said.
Additionally, Hy-Vee encouraged anyone who used one of these ATMs recently to monitor their bank accounts for suspicious activity and contact their bank with any questions.
Skimmers were also reported at some area gas stations this summer.
Tom Conley, president and CEO of the Des Moines-based security company The Conley Group, said identity theft attempts tend to increase during the holiday shopping season.
"People are more rushed," Conley said. "Iowans are really nice people and we don't like to inconvenience our neighbors. Bad guys will exploit that."
But it's worth taking extra time to protect your identity, he said.
He said there are two types of skimmers: "Traps," often used with a hidden camera to record PINs, cause the user's card to get stuck in the machine, while keypad overlays that collect PINs are used alongside data capturing devices in the card slot.
Data capturing devices are getting more difficult to see, he said, but ATM users should inspect a machine carefully before using it.
"If there's any question, report it and don't use it," he said. "We all have busy lives, but take a minute to look at the ATM."
If the keypad looks too thick or the card slot looks questionable, Conley said to avoid use. Users should cover the keypad with their hand while entering PINs, he said.
He also suggested monitoring bank accounts closely and getting a credit report every four months.

Novus President Pradeep Popat and secretary Pam Spokes receive the banner brought from India by Viren Shah
Every one of the 1.2 million Rotary Club members are entitled — encouraged even — to visit other clubs, near or far. Traditionally, they will mark their visits by exchanging banners or small flags bearing the name of their clubs. When the visitor next returns to her or his club, they will present the banner to their own club where they will be kept and maybe displayed for others to see.
The circle was completed recently in Pune, India, when member Virendra Shah returned to the Rotary Club of Pune South and handed over the banner he had been given in Leicester to his club president, Kiran Purohit.
Rtn Viren Shah presents to Kiran Purohit, president of the Rotary Club of Pune South the banners of the Rotary Club of Leicester and the Rotary Club of Leicester Novus which he received when he visited Novus. The Leicester banner had been presented to Viren by President Richard Power
At about the same time that Viren had been visiting Leicester, Novus member Jim Matthews had been visiting the Rotary Club of Bijilo, in The Gambia. The club is brand-new and is the fourth club in he West African country. Over the last 22 years since Jim has been holidaying there, he has now visited all four.
The members welcomed Jim and suggested that he should be given a Gambian name. They chose Lamin, which is traditionally given to the first-born son. Jim thanked them for the honour and, looking round at the 25 young people at the meeting, acknowledged that it was very appropriate, since he was clearly the oldest person there!
