As oil supplies are about to come under pressure in the coming months, the crude oil market seems to be prolonging its state of instability and uncertainty. The OPEC / non-OPEC meeting in Algiers in late September provided an unclear outcome. The future of oil prices will depend on how supply is going to meet future demand as US sanctions on Iran are set to take place in the next couple of months.
So let's examine recent facts: Saudi Arabia, OPEC's leading oil producer, and Russia have largely criticized US President Trump's request to increase oil production to counter higher oil prices that will slow down the US' economic growth. Trump has already threatened to take action if the oil cartel continues to squeeze the market to gain higher revenues. However, the meeting in Algiers produced a different opinion and the answer was not that clear: no increase in production unless market conditions indicate an extreme state of tightening. OPEC alongside Russia were very straight-forward and bold with their statement as they stood by the principle that no external opinion will be taken into consideration, they said that they will be the decision makers and it's up to them when and how to act.
Analysts are keeping a close eye on the situation where a shortage in supply could hit the market gradually in the near future especially after November this year, when US sanctions will be fully implemented on Iran and all of its customers. But OPEC have repeatedly stated that oil stockpiles are still above their five-year average and, if needed, an increase in oil production is always an option.
What traders are saying ?
Traders such as Mercuria and Trafigura have already warned about prices spiking around $100 a barrel. Obviously, oil traders seem not to have reached a consensus as disruptions could emerge anytime. On the other hand, the escalating trade war between the US and China could lead to lower demand, hence dampen the bullish sentiment in the market and stabilize prices as a result.
What could trigger the next oil price move?
Recently, producers such as Iraq, Libya and Russia, have published very positive preliminary production volumes, but no real volumes have been reported on the market. If we go back a little bit in history, we can notice that production figures always showed up around OPEC's meetings.
From a technical point of view though, the price is back to retest the highs printed in July at $75.24 per barrel. The latest rally does seem over-stretched with Crude oil entering an overbought state as we can see on the RSI chart. Based on that, we can say that the price has a little bit more room to stretch further to the upside before entering a consolidation zone and retest near support level (around the $73 level). From there though, a fresh leg higher would be expected and the next level to watch will be the $77.65 mark.

This is a massive 5 bedroom beachside house that has been reduced massively in price by the owner as they need a quick sale! This house oozes quality inside and out and is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED VIEWING!!
Baan Talay is located directly on Sukhumvit road in the Baan Saray area and the project stretches all the way down the hill to the beach offering direct beach access as well. In the immediate vicinity you have the sleepy fishing village of Bang Saray which these days is home to some small supermarkets, fresh markets and a growing number of good restaurants. Also, within a few hundred meters you have the Cartoon Network Waterpark.
This house is high quality from top to bottom and it is evident from the minute you walk in through the front doors. The owner has also furnished this house to an exceptional standard and that is a further bonus that comes with the house.
Most certainly the focal point regarding the exterior of this house is the massive 110sqm private pool. This is surrounded by lots of terrace space and beautifully landscaped gardens.[vc_tta_section title="Investment Analysis" tab_id="1491986719744-746b03ba-c4a6"]This house is a great investment! It is currently massively undervalued so there is considerable capital gain to consider. This house also rents at 160,000 baht per month, which also translates to a very high return of investment.

Visit by Minister President Daniel Günther to NordseeMilch eG in Witzwort on December 4, 2020.
NordseeMilch eG plans to invest in capacity expansion for organic, OGT and animal welfare milk in 2021/22. Organic milk has already been bottled at the Witzwort site for more than 10 years, with a strong upward trend. In the meantime, NordseeMilch eG has the highest organic milk processing volume in Schleswig-Holstein.
NordseeMilch eG is also the first dairy in Germany to introduce milk without genetic engineering (OGT) to the market. Today, Ohne Gentechnik Milch has become the standard in food retailing in Germany. For about five years, the dairy has been offering animal welfare milk; this milk has been certified by the German Animal Welfare Association with two stars in the highest possible category. To achieve this, some of the farmers supplying the milk have had to make major modifications to their barns. The very high animal welfare standards are checked unannounced by external auditors up to four times a year.
Due to very large increases in sales of these types of milk, the dairy in Witzwort is planning an extension. A production hall plus the latest filling technology will be built over the next two years. The state of Schleswig-Holstein has promised subsidies for the €28 million project.
Minister President Daniel Günther presented representatives of NordseeMilch eG with a grant of €6.5 million for the project.

Q: PHP - Loopless way to split a string into a multidimensional array How do I split a string into a multidimensional array in PHP without loops?
My string is in the format "A,5|B,3|C,8"

A: Without you actually doing the looping part, something based on array_map + explode should do the trick ; for instance, considering you are using PHP 5.3 :
$str = "A,5|B,3|C,8";

$a = array_map(
    function ($substr) {
        return explode(',', $substr);
    },
    explode('|', $str)
);
var_dump($a);

Will get you :
array
  0 =>
    array
      0 => string 'A' (length=1)
      1 => string '5' (length=1)
  1 =>
    array
      0 => string 'B' (length=1)
      1 => string '3' (length=1)
  2 =>
    array
      0 => string 'C' (length=1)
      1 => string '8' (length=1)

Of course, this portion of code could be re-written to not use a lambda-function, and work with PHP < 5.3 -- but not as fun ^^

Still, I presume array_map will loop over each element of the array returned by explode... So, even if the loop is not in your code, there will still be one...

A: Without loops at all? Can't be done. Without you having to write the loop? Explode or one of the regex "split" methods.

A: preg_match_all("~([^|,]+),([^|,]+)~", $str, $m);
$result = array_combine($m[1], $m[2]);

this returns an array like array('A' => 5, 'B' => 3 etc

A: If your data is huge this could get heavy but here's one solution:
<?php
$data = "A,5|B,3|C,8";
$search = array("|",",");
$replace = array("&","=");
$array = parse_str(str_replace($search, $replace, $data));
?>

Would result into something like this:
$array = array(
  A => 5,
  B => 3,
  C => 8,
);

A: Depending on whether array_walk() counts as a loop...
<?php

class Splitter {
  function __construct($text){
    $this->items = array();
    array_walk(explode('|', $text), array($this, 'split'));
  }

  function split($input){
    $this->items[] = explode(',', $input);
  }
}

$s = new Splitter("A,5|B,3|C,8");
print_r($s->items);

Q: Cloudbuild to trigger Github merge to master branch I have a Google Cloudbuild pipeline, that tests the code committed to the dev branch of my Github repo, and deploys the code to the dev environment. I want to add another step to the pipeline, which would merge my dev branch with the prod branch, upon successful deployment to the dev environment. Is there any way to implement this?

A: You probably can do that in your 'cloudbuild.yaml' (or another name) file which is 'executed' by the Cloud Build trigger.
In my experience you will need a pair of keys - the public key should be in GitHub, the private key value - stored as a secret in the Secret Manager.
Thus, in the yaml file you might need to use (change according to your case, do not use like this):
  volumes:
  - name: 'ssh'
    path: /root/.ssh

So far:

*

*get the private key (from the secret) and save it as a a file /root/.ssh/github by using something like gcloud secrets versions access latest ...

*change permissions chmod 600 /root/.ssh/github

*create a config file:

cat <<EOF >/root/.ssh/config
Hostname github.com
IdentityFile /root/.ssh/github
EOF

*save GitHub public key to a known_hosts file ssh-keyscan -t rsa github.com > /root/.ssh/known_hosts
After that, you (actually your Cloud Build service account using provided credentials) can do with GitHub repository whatever is required (subject to permissions granted in GitHub) using ordinary git commands.


Cupcakes with frosting and sprinkles are loved by kids and the kids in all of us! Made with Pamela's Vanilla Cake Mix and Vanilla Frosting Mix.
To make cupcakes: Preheat oven to 325°. Line muffin pans with muffin papers, enough to make 14 to 18 cupcakes. With an electric mixer with whisk attachment, or hand mixing, whisk eggs, oil, water, and almond flavoring together. Add cake mix and beat at medium-low for 2 minutes, or by hand, until batter thickens slightly and becomes lighter in color. Fill muffin cups two-thirds full with batter. Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until tops of cupcakes spring back with a light touch or toothpick inserted near center comes out almost clean. Do not over-bake, as it will cause dryness.
To make frosting: In bowl of electric mixer with paddle attachment, mix all frosting ingredients except food coloring. Mix on medium for 1 minute. Frosting will be thick. Slowly add food coloring to get desired color. Mix for 1 additional minute until smooth. If frosting is too thick, slowly add more water one teaspoon at a time until desired consistency is reached.
Frost pink icing on cooled cupcakes. Add colored sprinkles or sugar crystals as desired.
Cupcakes can be wrapped and frozen for longer storage. They defrost quickly and stay moist when serving the same day as defrosting. If frosting before freezing, place frosted unwrapped cupcakes in freezer long enough for frosting to harden before wrapping in plastic. This will preserve the frosting shape.

Q: Is there a way to setup a pubsub subscription? I want to use pubsub's pull subscription.
So far its been hard to figure out setting auth & fails in subscription or grpc.
Also its not recommended to package client-secret.json in apk.
Havent found any leads to setup on android
Has anyone done this on android
On the Setup client library its mentioned

Note: Cloud Java client libraries do not currently support Android.

Following this link for Pull Subscriber
Any help would be appreciated

A: Pub/sub to a mobile platform has some potential issues, depending on your use-case. For example, if a phone is off for a long time, pub/sub will queue a lot of messages which may be expensive. You also would need to create a topic for every user if you want to keep data for each user private.
You might find that Firebase Cloud Messaging is a better solution for pushing notifications to an android app.

A: Although the com.google.cloud.pubsub library doesn't support Android, the com.google.api.services.pubsub library does. com.google.api.services.pubsub is auto-generated, so is harder to use and worse documented, but it should work on Android.
See client libraries explained for the difference between the libraries.

Perhaps no other field has grown as quickly in the last two decades as the Digital Marketing field has. Having been created as recently as Google has been around, this industry is also a new one that many people have never heard of. This creates two important factors. One, there is a high demand for workers in this industry at the moment. Two, that demand should die out relatively quickly given the fields recent boost in popularity. Because of these two factors, the working youth in America is flocking to this industry contributing to a rise college dropouts. Since this is a new industry, it is not an industry that schools have given any attention to. In addition, the majority of this field has the ability to be self-taught. All of these factors, and many more, are the result of the rise of this industry in America. With that being said, here is more of the most significant impacts the rise of this field has had in the states.
Digital Marketing can be defined as traditional marketing, but on the internet. Instead of newspapers, billboards, and yellow pages being the way businesses reach customers, this industry has allowed for Google advertising and optimization to take place of the old ways. Moreover, since many businesses are not caught up to this trend of marketing, they are turning to digital marketing agencies and start ups to get them caught up. The result is a rise of start-ups from a brand new industry. Worth noting, these new start-ups are very young and hip. Some start-ups are even branding themselves as a youth Digital Marketing Company.
As mentioned before, the digital marketing industry has created methods to attract eyes online. What this means for local businesses is that instead of paying huge amounts for outdated marketing methods in hopes of attracting customers, local businesses can now decide when and where to advertise their company. The result of this is a huge amount of savings for local businesses. In fact, digital marketing has created methods that allows local businesses to run an advertising campaign for ridiculously small budget amounts. Also worth noting, it means that businesses that are not taking advantage of these digital marketing methods are destined to be overtaken by competing businesses that are taking advantage.
One thing that the rise of this field shows more than anything, is the impact that technology is having on our daily lives. Not even a decade ago, this field was barely leaving a mark on business in America. Today, the internet has resulted in this industry being the backbone of American businesses. The Digital Marketing industry, in many ways, is a sign of how dependent we are on technology and the internet. Whether we look at this in a positive or negative way, there is no denying that we have to adapt to the impact that technology and this industry now has.
Dans le monde d'aujourd'hui, il n'est pas nécessaire de quitter leur domicile pour aller faire les courses, même pour faire des courses. Il semble que chaque fournisseur ait un site Web et la plupart ont leurs produits et / ou services énumérés sur leurs sites. Ils ont commencé à réaliser que, même s'ils ont une activité physique rentable, ils peuvent certainement avoir une présence réussie sur Internet et gagner encore plus de profits en ligne avec le commerce électronique. Avec toutes les ressources qui sont maintenant abordables plus que jamais auparavant et si facilement disponibles pour les propriétaires d'entreprise, Internet a explosé ces dernières années. Les détaillants sont passés d'un marché local à un marché mondial. Une chose est sûre, toutefois, avec Internet, le marketing mondial est devenu une norme pour que la plupart d'entre eux puissent élargir leur marché ou créer une entreprise dont ils n'avaient pas auparavant la possibilité ou qui auraient pu rêver de faire affaire avec quelqu'un à l'étranger ou même à travers le pays.
L'imagination d'un propriétaire d'entreprise est la seule limite à l'image d'une devanture de magasin et ce magasin peut paraître aussi petit ou aussi grand que le propriétaire de l'entreprise le souhaite, les options sont infinies. Les entreprises virtuelles sont plus populaires que jamais en raison de la facilité à obtenir les outils et les ressources nécessaires au démarrage d'entreprises, qui sont également relativement bon marché. Avec une creation e commerce électronique en ligne, de nombreuses entreprises qui ne pouvaient pas rêver de concurrencer de grandes entreprises telles que les grandes chaînes de magasins ont maintenant une chance de se battre. Internet et le monde du commerce électronique ont ouvert un tout nouveau forum permettant à chacun de gagner de l'argent, et pas seulement à quelques-uns.
Auparavant, les grandes entreprises étaient les seules à pouvoir tirer profit de leur expansion sur le marché d'outre-mer, car elles disposaient de suffisamment de capital pour être en mesure d'investir et d'attendre que les bénéfices soient générés plus tard. Le monde des affaires d'aujourd'hui est totalement différent et la pensée doit donc être totalement différente. Avec Internet à venir, penser petit doit changer. Le Web a ouvert le monde entier à tout le monde avec tout ce qu'il souhaite vendre, que ce soit des biens ou des services. Cependant, le propriétaire de l'entreprise doit faire attention à beaucoup de choses en ligne, tout comme dans le monde physique. Avec les menaces constantes dans le cyberespace des dénis de service, le vol d'identité et une foule d'autres activités illégales qu'une personne souhaitant maltraiter d'autres personnes peuvent faire tout en se cachant derrière un écran qui leur est plus difficile à attraper la plupart du temps, sauf si le propriétaire de l'entreprise a les compétences en programmation pour pouvoir les suivre dans le cyberespace. Cependant, le propriétaire de l'entreprise peut faire certaines choses pour augmenter ses profits et réduire ses risques. C'est ici qu'interviennent la recherche et l'éducation.
One of the reasons that people think about running an online business is that they figure that it is going to be fun. While it can be quite thrilling to have a source of income that does not involve clocking in from 9 to 5 and all of the common issues that come with it, the truth is that it requires a lot of work. Another setback that comes with this type of activity is that it often takes a lot of time, and there is no certainty when it comes to earning money with your business. This can take what seemed like a fun idea and turn it into a scary nightmare.
One thing that you are going to have to accept when it comes to running an online business is that you are going to need help. Fortunately, there is a lot of help that is available. Agencies have been set up to deal with every aspect of the internet and internet marketing. Some of them come in the form of virtual assistants. You can easily find a virtual assistance company that is going to help you refine everything that is needed so that you can build a successful company.
There is just so much that goes into running even a small online business that trying to do it all on your own could be an exercise in futility. Among the things you'd have to take on is the marketing, paperwork, merchandising, and many other activities for your business. The worst part is that some of them get tedious. Then there are days when some of your efforts do not seem to be making a difference. Believe it or not, dealing with discouragement from all of these factors can leave you feeling so heavy that working on your business could seem pointless.
Even if you have a hard time trusting others, you can find a company that is willing to help you with the heavy lifting. You can decide on the areas that you find too difficult or otherwise too tedious for you to take on. The virtual assistants will take those on which will leave a lot more room for you to handle all of the activities that you can take on. It can be providing content, marketing, providing images or any other type of activity that is meant to bring visitors to your online company and gain conversions.
The best chance you have at running an online business as a solo act is keeping it as a small entity. It also helps to have it revolve around the topics you are most interested in. One of the most important things to do is make sure that the marketing of the business is given a lot of attention. People have to know about your business. The internet is very huge, and it is easy for even the best businesses that are being created to get lost in all of the sites that are constantly being posted online.
Unternehmer können ihr Geschäft am besten über Facebook- und Twitter-Anzeigen vermarkten. Die Durchführung von Social-Media-Anzeigenkampagnen führt jedoch nicht immer zu einer ausreichenden Anzahl von Zugriffen und Verkäufen auf die Website des Unternehmensinhabers. Es gibt andere Möglichkeiten, wie Sie Ihre Blogs und Social-Media-Seiten bewerben können – durch das Gast-Bloggen auf der Website einer anderen Person, durch Veröffentlichungen von Pressemitteilungen und über Infografik-Sites. Jedes Mal, wenn Sie eine Pressemitteilung oder eine Infografik schreiben, sollte es einen Ort geben, an dem Sie Ihre Website und Ihre Social-Media-Links darauf belassen und sicherstellen können, dass der Inhalt für Ihre Seiten relevant ist, sodass die Nutzer genug interessiert sind Klicken Sie auf Ihren Link.
Abhängig davon, welche Social Media Agentur Sie verwenden, sollten Sie nach Wegen suchen, wie Sie Ihre Zielgruppe mithilfe verschiedener Tools aufbauen können, über die sie verfügen. Wenn Sie beispielsweise versuchen, Ihre E-Mail-Liste zu erstellen, können Sie Ihr Mail-Chimp-Netzwerk mit Facebook verbinden, indem Sie ein Anmeldeformular für Ihre Abonnenten einrichten. Schreiben Sie dann so viele interessante Inhalte, dass die Leute sich in Ihre Liste eintragen möchten, indem Sie ihnen etwas anbieten, das entweder kostenlos ist oder für das sie in der Zukunft zur Verfügung stehen werden, beispielsweise ein E-Book oder eine andere Art von Anreiz für den Beitritt. Wenn es sich bei dem von Ihnen verwendeten Social-Media-Kanal um Instagram handelt, können Sie eine Instanz (auch Squeeze-Seite genannt) einrichten, um über bevorstehende Inhalte zu schreiben, die Sie auf Ihrer Website haben werden, und geben Sie ihnen einen Grund, ihren Namen und Ihre Identität anzugeben E-Mail-Addresse.
Da es bei Instagram mehr um Fotografie geht, sollten Sie Bilder finden, die sich auf Ihre Nische beziehen. Wenn Sie genügend Anhänger für Ihre Instagram-Seite erhalten, könnten Sie als Influencer Geld verdienen, wenn Sie Beiträge schreiben, bei denen Sie Marken finden, die in Ihrer Nische nach Autoren suchen. Wenn Sie jedoch ein Produkt verkaufen oder Affiliate-Marketing betreiben, kann es sehr schwierig sein, über soziale Medien Leads zu gewinnen, unabhängig davon, für welches Produkt Sie werben. Was Sie in den sozialen Medien tun können, besteht darin, Gruppen auf Facebook und Linkedin zu finden, die mit Affiliate-Marketing verbunden sind, und sich anderen Affiliates anzuschließen, die Ihnen helfen, Ihr Produkt selbst zu bewerben. Wenn Sie mit anderen Partnern oder Geschäftsleuten zusammenarbeiten, die Ihnen beim Verkauf Ihres Produkts helfen, müssen Sie nur einen bestimmten Prozentsatz des Gewinns teilen, der daraus erzielt wird.
Eine der besten Möglichkeiten, ein Unternehmen in sozialen Medien zu betreiben, besteht darin, Investoren zu finden, denen Sie Ihr Produkt anbieten können. Diese Investoren werden oft als Angel-Investoren oder Risikokapitalgeber bezeichnet, die an Ihrem Produkt interessiert sind, nicht nur, um Sie beim Verkauf zu unterstützen, sondern um Geld für Ihr Unternehmen zu beschaffen. Sobald Sie Geld für Ihr Unternehmen gesammelt haben, können Sie in bestimmte Social-Media-Marketing-Programme investieren, die Sie beim Verkauf Ihres Produkts durch fortschrittliche Werbemethoden unterstützen, einschließlich Content-Marketing, Suchmaschinen-Marketing und Marketing auf fast allen Social-Media-Kanälen, die sie anbieten Angebot.
Online-Werbung ist eine der effektivsten Möglichkeiten, um Ihr Geschäft auszubauen oder sogar Ihr neues Geschäft auf den Markt zu bringen. Heutzutage wird Online-Marketing von großen und kleinen Unternehmen gleichermaßen geschätzt. Es gibt viele nützliche Möglichkeiten, um Ihr Unternehmen online zu bewerben. Angefangen beim Versenden von E-Mail-Newslettern an aktuelle und potenzielle Kunden, Anzeigen von Angeboten und Rabatten auf offiziellen Websites bis hin zum Verschieben von Textfeldern mit Firmennamen und Details in persönlichen Nachrichten, haben Geschäftsinhaber kreative Möglichkeiten gefunden, um Kunden anzuziehen.
Dann gibt es Werbebanner, die bei jedem Besuch einer Website aufleuchten. Diese Art von Werbung ist heutzutage sehr beliebt. Die meisten Werbetreibenden stimmen darin überein, dass Bannerwerbung ein hervorragendes Mittel ist, um die Unternehmensbotschaft zu vermitteln. Sie sind auch mit einer höheren Markenbekanntheit verbunden. Bannerwerbung ist jedoch nicht der einzige Weg und sollte nicht der einzige Werbekanal für Unternehmen sein. In der Tat gibt es keinen Beweis dafür, dass diese Anzeigen für alle Arten von Unternehmen am besten geeignet sind. Eine kürzlich durchgeführte Umfrage besagt, dass Bannerwerbung nicht nur eine effektive Werbemethode für einen begrenzten Sektor darstellt, sondern die Kunden sind unzufrieden mit der Art und Weise, wie sie Daten und Antworten verfolgen. Unter dem Strich sind Bannerwerbung nur dann gut, wenn sie das tun sollen, wofür sie überhaupt geschaffen wurden – werben und potenzielle Kunden erreichen. Leider ist die Art und Weise, wie sie auf Websites verwendet werden, und die Ergebnisse, die sie generieren, laut einem Bericht von Forrester Research ein komplettes Durcheinander. Gründe dafür sind Fehler bei der Anzeigenverfolgung, fehlende Standards, Bedingungen und Bedingungen, fehlende effiziente Technologie und Teillieferungsprozess.
Viele Online-Marketing-Agenturen hoffen, dass vorhandene Banneranzeigen überarbeitet und neue Sets mit effizienten Protokollen erstellt werden. Sie möchten das Problem der mangelnden Geschwindigkeit lösen, mit dem diese Anzeigen erscheinen, und eine Technologie entwickeln, die die Wirksamkeit jeder Anzeige misst. Bald möchten sie, dass diese Anzeigen die Anzahl der Klicks auf die Werbebanner zählen, ohne von einem im Internet lauernden Virus entführt zu werden und den Endbenutzern keine Frustration zu bereiten. Da das Internet kein Ort für Hard-Selling sein sollte, möchten sie Bannerwerbung subtiler gestalten, als sie jetzt sind. Die großen Online-Werbeagenturen bieten eine Reihe von Tipps und Techniken an, wie Kunden die Anzeigen haben möchten und was sie dazu bringt, wieder zu kaufen. Online-Marketing-Agenturen streben an Neugestaltung Website um diese Art von Werbung auch erschwinglich zu machen. Wenn die Technologie dies zulässt, ist dies ein hervorragendes Werkzeug, um Informationen über das, was Sie tun, mit geringen oder keinen Kosten zu verbreiten.
Hören sich diese Anforderungen also im Gesamtzusammenhang als erreichbar an? Sehen Sie, dass das Internet eine narrensichere Methode darstellt, um die Reaktionsfähigkeit dieser Anzeigen zu messen? Sicherlich nicht. Es gibt jedoch enorme Fortschritte bei der Verbesserung der Industriestandards und der Hoffnung, dass Online-Werbung den hohen Erwartungen von Werbeagenturen in naher Zukunft gerecht wird.

Email marketing is still one of the most powerful ways to reach out to your demographic and turn them on to your products, and services. Despite being around since the dawn of the Internet itself, there are still many "best practices" that you should be following when engaging with your subscribers through an email list. Let's take a look at some of the ways you will boost your email marketing efforts, and grow your business faster, and more effectively than before.
By far the biggest mistake people make with email marketing is trying to use them to make sales. Emails are not sales tools, and never will be. The purpose of an email is to get the reader from Point A, to Point B. For example, a marketing email may contain a special discount, then instruct the reader to click the link where they can claim the discount on your website. Instead of trying to sell in you emails, instead focus on connecting with your readers. This allows you to form a bond with them, building your trust, credibility, and reputation so that you can get them onto your website where you can sell them on your products and/or services.
There is also a common misconception that the subject line of your emails is what determines your open rate. While it does play a large part, there is actually another factor that it much more important: the name of the sender. Basically what this means is that people are more likely to open your emails if they expect them, and recognize the name of the sender. This is one of the biggest reasons that cold emails have a much harder time getting good open rates, and why building an email list that you can market to again and again, is such a good strategy. To make the most of this, take time to think about how you're getting people to join your mailing list, and how you can get them excited about opening your emails.
While some people tend to compare email to direct mail marketing, the two are actually very different. Direct mail marketing tends to be very "salesy," and will attempt to make a sale on first contact. As previously mentioned, email marketing should avoid trying to make direct sales. While direct mail marketing is less used these days, it can actually be used to supplement your email marketing efforts. Since emails are a form of pre-selling, they can be used to set up a direct mail marketing campaign, ensuring that you get higher engagement with it. This can even be used to market to area specific demographics, such as running a direct mail marketing Ohio campaign.
Ultimately email marketing is still an amazing way to make sales as long as you go about it in the right way. Using it along side other marketing methods, such as direct mail, really brings out the full power of email marketing. It allows you to generate leads, and meet your marketing objectives.
Though African Americans make up a relativity small portion of the population in the US, they have been a huge cultural force, and have driven many trends that have influence how businesses market to consumers. African American athletes, rap and hip-hop music, and African American "influencers" on social media have built a huge opportunity for businesses willing to take advantage of this cultural force, and apply their marketing strategies appropriately. Let's go over what makes this phenomenon such a lucrative opportunity, and how an African American digital marketing agency can help your business to make the most of it.
There is a lot of confusion when it comes to the "African American community," and some may even consider this disparaging in a way. The fact of the matter is that not all African Americans can be grouped into the idea of a single community. Different African Americans come from different backgrounds, and are on different paths in life. In fact, trying to market to "black people" as a whole can make your brand look out-of-touch.
Instead, relying on an African American Internet marketing agency to help you identify and target specific sub-demographics within this overarching racial demographic can help you develop a more focused marketing message that they will be more receptive to.
It seems like every week we hear of another company making a product, or running and ad that gets labeled as racist. Whether or not this perceived racism is intentional or not, being accused of racism can be a heavy blow against any company these days. What's truly unfortunate is the fact that all this trouble could easily have been avoided if businesses would just consult with an African American marketing agency before running an ad, or selling a product that could cause a controversy.
If you have a product or ad idea that you feel might be offensive, it might be better to shelve it and be safe, rather than sorry. However, this approach can also lead to missed opportunities, and profits. Running your ideas by an African American marketing agency can dispel any uncertainty, and let you know for certain whether your idea is a stroke of genius, or something that will lead to a major scandal for your brand.
As previously mentioned, African American culture is a powerful force in the US. So much so that non African American demographics can be influenced by marketing meant for African Americans. Pulling something like this off can lead to a huge explosion in revenue, but in many ways it can feel risky to go for an angle like this. Multi-racial demographic marketing can easily backfire after all. A better strategy is to consult with an African American marketing agency, and find out which marketing messages targeted at African Americans, are also resonating with other racial demographics. This can help save your company from running marketing campaigns that could do more harm than good for your brand, and also help you hit the multi-racial demographic jackpot, and bringing in vast new sources of revenue.


Financial literacy: An individual's capacity to understand basic economic information and services in order to make informed decisions about his/her financial resources.
IPHD founded the Microenterprise Project in 2015 to diversify Bhikamkor's agricultural and male-dominated economy by providing financial literacy education and microloans to women in the village.
Women who participate in the Microeenterprise Project study the Bhikamkor Entrepreneurial Development (BED) program, a curriculum developed by IPHD interns that teaches comprehensive business and financial literacy training for one to two months.

Gov. DeWine Activates Ohio National Guard, Columbus Placed Under Curfew

Columbus Police officers maintain crowds around the Ohio Statehouse on May 30, 2020.
Gov. Mike DeWine is calling the Ohio National Guard into service after three days of violent protests in downtown Columbus.
Columbus Mayor Andrew Ginther announced a city-wide curfew from 10 p.m.-6 a.m. beginning Saturday. Anyone on the streets past then can be arrested, he said.
Ginther said the curfew, which will remain in place indefinitely, is necessary to protect the city's infrastructure. The city has closed all downtown streets indefinitely.
The mayor said more than 100 properties were damaged in Columbus on Friday night.
"We are now at a point where we can no longer tell the difference between who is protesting for change and an end to racism and who has only chaos and destruction in mind," Ginther said.
DeWine, at the request of Ginther and Columbus Police Chief Tom Quinlan, also ordered the Ohio Highway Patrol to help law enforcement officers in Franklin County. Quinlan said that police haven't been able to respond to regular 911 calls because of the protests, which he said transformed from peaceful protests into "criminal riots."
"The voices calling for justice, the voices calling for change, are sadly being drowned out by a smaller group of violent individuals," DeWine said. "These violent individuals threaten the safety of our citizens of the community. Acts of violence cannot and will not be tolerated.
Other Ohio cities, including Cleveland, Cincinnati and Dayton, have also initiated curfews.
Earlier Saturday, Columbus Police declared an emergency in downtown Columbus amid a third day of clashes between officers and protesters.
"Please stay out of the downtown area for your safety and the safety of others," the department said in a tweet. "Safety of everyone - protesters and police - is paramount. We're calling for everyone to remain calm," wrote Mayor Andrew Ginther.
Since Thursday night, protests have taken place in downtown Columbus in solidarity with George Floyd, an African American man killed by Minneapolis Police.
On Friday, after peaceful protests temporarily blocked traffic the South Side, hundreds of demonstrators descended on downtown, where they were met by heavily armored officers and tear gas.
Protests began again Saturday morning in front of the Ohio Statehouse. Demonstrators marched peacefully, some carrying signs with the names of black people who have been killed by police. Others shouted chants like "No justice, no peace" and "I can't breathe."

State troopers lined the steps of the Ohio Statehouse to block people from accessing the building.
At some point around noon, Columbus Police deployed pepper spray and tear gas on a large crowd that included U.S. Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-Ohio), Columbus City Council president Shannon Hardin and Franklin County commissioner Kevin Boyce.
"It got a little out of hand. I did get sprayed, Congresswoman got a little sprayed, but we are OK," Hardin said in a Twitter video. "We are encouraging folks to keep calm, we understand that tensions are high. Our tensions are high as well, we are angry as all get out. And we need change, but the only way we will get change is by peaceful demonstrations."
Just want to let folks know that when @RepBeatty @VoteBoyce and I were down at the protest we did get sprayed with mace or pepper spray. We are all ok, and we want to encourage folks, both police and protestors, to stay calm. pic.twitter.com/RDQ1p4YDRY

Tennisha English carried a sign with the names of black girls who were killed by police officers.
"I used to hear stories from my grandparents growing up and I would think, 'Oh no, those things don't happen,'" English says. "'Cause you know when you're younger, those things don't happen. Now being a woman, it's crazy."
English says she came out to support her daughter, who is black.
"I have a 3-year-old daughter, and I can't imagine anyone not liking her or hating her because she's black," English says.
Brielle Hudson and Ronald Yates joined the early portion of the protest, which started at 10 a.m. They're dating and say they want to have children one day.
"And hearing (George Floyd) call out for his mother, I couldn't, that was all of our mothers, that was all of us," Hudson said. "I can't just stand by and let the CPD or any other police department think this is okay at all."
Yates says they wanted to express solidarity in a calm atmosphere.
"As a black man, I know this is something almost every black man has horror stories of or encounters of the police," Yates says. "This is just an opportunity for us to show that we're watching and that we acknowledge the stuff that they're doing to us, whether they will or not."
Saturday evening, Hardin released a statement saying "the time to institute real police reform is now." He called for Columbus to establish independent investigations into police use of force and a civil review commission—something that community activists have demanded for years. Hardin also said the city must implement recommendations for police training and policies laid out in a 2019 outside report.
That report also found wide racial disparities in police use-of-force and perception. In 2017, the report found, 51% of the department's use-of-force cases involved black people, compared to 26% involving white people, a mirror opposite of the city's population.
In a statement, Fraternal Order of Police Capital City Lodge 9 president Keith Ferrell said that "the negative characterization that the Mayor painted this department with yesterday was unfair and wrong."
Ferrell said officers have a duty to stop the "senseless" destruction of property, and that "officers feel as if their hands are being tied by the Mayor and his administration."

Q: When working with the Stripe API, is it better to sort each request or store locally and perform queries? This is my first post, I've been lurking for a while.
Some context to my question;
I'm working with the Stripe API to pull transaction data and match these with booking numbers from another API source. (property reservations --> funds received for reconciliation)
I started by just making calls to the API and sorting the data in place using python 3, however it started to get very complicated and I thought I should persist the data in a mongodb stored on localhost. I began to do this, however I decided that storing the sorted data was still just as complicated and the request times were getting quite long, I thought, maybe I should pull all the stripe data and store it locally and then query whatever I needed.
So here I am, with a bunch of code I've written for both and still not alot of progress. I'm a bit lost with the next move. I feel like I should probably pick a path and stick with it. I'm a little unsure what is the "best practise" when working with API's, usually I would turn to YouTube, but I haven't been able to find a video which covers this specific scenario. The amount of data being pulled from the API would be around 100kb per request.
Here is the original code which would grab each query. Recently I've learnt I can use the expand method (I think this is what it's called) so I don't need to dig down so many levels in my for loop.
The goal was to get just the metadata which contains the booking reference numbers that can then be match against a response from my property management systems API. My code is a bit embarrassing, I've kinda just learnt it over the last little while in my downtime from work.
import csv
import datetime
import os
import pymongo
import stripe

"""
We need to find a Valid reservation_ref or reservation_id in the booking.com Metadata. Then we need to match this to a property ID from our list of properties in the book file.

"""
myclient = pymongo.MongoClient("mongodb://localhost:27017/")
mydb = myclient["mydatabase"]
stripe_payouts = mydb["stripe_payouts"]
stripe.api_key = "sk_live_thisismyprivatekey"

r = stripe.Payout.list(limit=4)

payouts = []

for data in r['data']:
    if data['status'] == 'paid':
        p_id = data['id']
        amount = data['amount']
        meta = []
        txn = stripe.BalanceTransaction.list(payout=p_id)
        amount_str = str(amount)
        amount_dollar = str(amount / 100)
        txn_len = len(txn['data'])
        for x in range(txn_len):
            if x != 0:
                charge = (txn['data'][x]['source'])
                if charge.startswith("ch_"):
                    meta_req = stripe.Charge.retrieve(charge)
                    meta = list(meta_req['metadata'])
                elif charge.startswith("re_"):
                    meta_req = stripe.Refund.retrieve(charge)
                    meta = list(meta_req['metadata'])

                if stripe_payouts.find({"_id": p_id}).count() == 0:

                    payouts.append(
                        {
                            "_id": str(p_id),

                                charge: [meta]
                            }
                        }
                    )

# TODO: Add error exception to check for po id already in the database.

if len(payouts) != 0:

                                  charge: [meta]

This last section doesn't work properly, this is kinda where I stopped and starting calling all the data and storing it in mongodb locally.
I appreciate if you've read this wall of text this far.
Thanks
EDIT:
I'm unsure what the best practise is for adding additional information, but I've messed with the code below per the answer given. I'm now getting a "Key error" when trying to insert the entries into the database. I feel like It's duplicating keys somehow.

payouts = []

def add_metadata(payout_id, transaction_type):
    transactions = stripe.BalanceTransaction.list(payout=payout_id, type=transaction_type, expand=['data.source'])
    for transaction in transactions.auto_paging_iter():
        meta = [transaction.source.metadata]
        if stripe_payouts.Collection.count_documents({"_id": payout_id}) == 0:
            payouts.append(
                {
                    transaction.id: transaction
                }
            )

for data in r['data']:
    p_id = data['id']
    add_metadata(p_id, 'charge')
    add_metadata(p_id, 'refund')

# TODO: Add error exception to check for po id already in the database.
if len(payouts) != 0:
    x = stripe_payouts.insert_many(payouts)
    #print(payouts)
    print("Inserted into Database ", len(x.inserted_ids), x.inserted_ids)
else:
    print("No entries made")```

A: To answer your high level question. If you're frequently accessing the same data and that data isn't changing much then it can make sense to try to keep your local copy of the data in sync and make your frequent queries against your local data.
No need to be embarrassed by your code :) we've all been new at something at some point.
Looking at your code I noticed a few things:

*

*Rather than fetch all payouts, then use an if statement to skip all except paid, instead you can pass another filter to only query those paid payouts.

r = stripe.Payout.list(limit=4, status='paid')

*You mentioned the expand [B] feature of the API, but didn't use it so I wanted to share how you can do that here with an example. In this case, you're making 1 API call to get the list of payouts, then 1 API call per payout to get the transactions, then 1 API call per charge or refund to get the metadata for charges or metadata for refunds. This results in 1 * (n payouts) * (m charges or refunds) which is a pretty big number. To cut this down, let's pass expand=['data.source'] when fetching transactions which will include all of the metadata about the charge or refund along with the transaction.

transactions = stripe.BalanceTransaction.list(payout=p_id, expand=['data.source'])

*Fetching the BalanceTransaction list like this will only work as long as your results fit on one "page" of results. The API returns paginated [A] results, so if you have more than 10 transactions per payout, this will miss some. Instead, you can use an auto-pagination feature of the stripe-python library to iterate over all results from the BalanceTransaction list.

for transaction in transactions.auto_paging_iter():

*I'm not quite sure why we're skipping over index 0 with if x != 0: so that may need to be addressed elsewhere :D

*I didn't see how or where amount_str or amount_dollar was actually used.

*Rather than determining the type of the object by checking the ID prefix like ch_ or re_ you'll want to use the type attribute. Again in this case, it's better to filter by type so that you only get exactly the data you need from the API:
transactions = stripe.BalanceTransaction.list(payout=p_id, type='charge', expand=['data.source'])
I'm unable to test because I lack the same database that you have, but wanted to share a refactoring of your code that you may consider.
r = stripe.Payout.list(limit=4, status='paid')

payouts = []

for data in r['data']:
    p_id = data['id']
    amount = data['amount']
    meta = []
    amount_str = str(amount)
    amount_dollar = str(amount / 100)
    transactions = stripe.BalanceTransaction.list(payout=p_id, type='charge', expand=['data.source'])
    for transaction in transactions.auto_paging_iter():
        meta = list(transaction.source.metadata)
        if stripe_payouts.find({"_id": p_id}).count() == 0:
            payouts.append(
                {
                    "_id": str(p_id),
                    "payout": str(p_id),
                    "transactions": transactions,
                    "metadata": {
                        charge: [meta]
                    }
                }
            )
    transactions = stripe.BalanceTransaction.list(payout=p_id, type='refund', expand=['data.source'])
    for transaction in transactions.auto_paging_iter():
        meta = list(transaction.source.metadata)
        if stripe_payouts.find({"_id": p_id}).count() == 0:
            payouts.append(
                {
                    "_id": str(p_id),
                    "payout": str(p_id),
                    "transactions": transactions,
                    "metadata": {
                        charge: [meta]
                    }
                }
            )

# TODO: Add error exception to check for po id already in the database.
if len(payouts) != 0:
    x = stripe_payouts.insert_many(payouts)
    print("Inserted into Database ", len(x.inserted_ids), x.inserted_ids)
else:
    print("No entries made")

Here's a further refactoring using functions defined to encapsulate just the bit adding to the database:
r = stripe.Payout.list(limit=4, status='paid')

payouts = []

def add_metadata(payout_id, transaction_type):
    transactions = stripe.BalanceTransaction.list(payout=payout_id, type=transaction_tyep, expand=['data.source'])
    for transaction in transactions.auto_paging_iter():
        meta = list(transaction.source.metadata)
        if stripe_payouts.find({"_id": payout_id}).count() == 0:
            payouts.append(
                {
                    "_id": str(payout_id),
                    "payout": str(payout_id),
                    "transactions": transactions,
                    "metadata": {
                        charge: [meta]
                    }
                }
            )

for data in r['data']:
    p_id = data['id']
    add_metadata('charge')
    add_metadata('refund')

# TODO: Add error exception to check for po id already in the database.
if len(payouts) != 0:
    x = stripe_payouts.insert_many(payouts)
    print("Inserted into Database ", len(x.inserted_ids), x.inserted_ids)
else:
    print("No entries made")

It's been called the gateway to Juilliard. Canyon Crest Academy in the San Dieguito School District is making a name for itself in the artistic world, offering courses to train and inspire future artists.
In Canyon Crest Academy's MIDI lab, students are creating musical compositions on state-of-the-art industry software while inspiring their artistic passion.
"What you're seeing are students using a digital software program to compose complete ensembles of music," instructor Vikas Srivastava said.
"Right now I'm working on a piece that has many different things and you can kind of experiment and me and my partner have been just working and seeing what sounds best in this work," student Ryder said.
Their instructor designed the studio to mirror recording industry standards.
"This is the real world. We had the producer of the soundtrack Sound Series, the sound for soundtrack for the last 16 years, come in here and explicitly tell us these are the programs he uses," Srivastava said.
This class is just one course offered through CCA's Envision Program, an extensive visual and performing arts curriculum.
"At this school it's really amazing to be really accepted and encouraged to pursue your different artistic mediums and to explore different boundaries," Ryder said.
Students are also learning digital and film production in the Envision cinema class.
"My favorite part is the editing cause I like to see the whole project come together," student Reid said.
"It's more than just programs, it's real world applications," San Dieguito School District ROP Director Stephen Levy said. "They are ready to go right into some television internships as well as in your station."
Students learn from industry professionals like instructor Mark Raines, a former TV anchor and reporter who was recently recognized as the 2008 national outstanding new career and technical teacher of the year.
"We have to get incredible educators who will keep these programs alive and well and building," Levy said.
"It's really an amazing opportunity... absolutely phenomenal," Ryder said.
Congratulations to Canyon Crest Academy, 8's Cool School of the Week.


1.73CT TANZANITE PENDANT 9K W GOLD 'CERTIFIED AA' EXQUISITE COLOUR!
1.73CT TANZANITE PENDANT 9K W GOLD 'CERTIFIED AA' EXQUISITE COLOUR!
Such a stunning 9k white gold pendant set with two beautiful premium AA graded tanzanites. Each tanzanite has been cut into the attractive pear shape and measures and impressive 8mm x 5mm with a weight of 0.80 points so not small gemstones with a combined weight of 1.60ct! The colour of the tanzanites are a beautiful vivid blue/violet with flashes of pink! Along with colour, it is also an extremely important factor when choosing your tanzanite that the stones have excellent clarity and cut and we must say these stones are superb and are very well matched for colour. To add that touch more luxury, a genuine Cambodian white zircon has been set into the design. Please do not confuse zircon with the man made cubic zirconia, zircon is a natural gemstone, one of the oldest known to Mankind with the brilliance of a diamond. The length of the pendant from the top of the bale is approximately 31mm x 10mm wide. We are sure that whoever decides to buy this pendant will be thrilled with their purchase.
IMPORTANT NOTE: This listing is for the pendant only and does not include the cost of the white gold chain. If you would like to purchase both the pendant and chain, please take a look at our other listing.
The pendant is hand crafted to a high standard and is NOT mass machine produced and is brand new and will be delivered to you in a premium quality presentation box as pictured. Please be assured, the pendant you see in our photos is the item you will receive and are not part of a bulk lot which some retailers display on their websites!
It is extremely important to purchase tanzanite that is accompanied with either a Certificate of Authenticity from a reputable jeweller or is certified by a recognised gemological institute. It is evident that the market has been flooded with many tanzanites that have been coated to enhance the colour or the worst case scenario are violet/blue glass!
Please feel confident in purchasing from Tam's Tanzanite in the knowledge that we have sourced vast amounts of tanzanite and please be assured, we only select the finest quality of stones for saturation of colour and clarity to offer for sale on our website unlike a lot of tanzanite that is graded AA and is so pale!

The Real-Life Meg
One of the many misconceptions about the ancient megalodon is that it was an extinct, larger ancestor of the great white shark.

The new film The Meg offers an ancient update to Jaws: action hero Jason Statham faces off against a giant prehistoric shark, C. megalodon, which has been lurking in the uncharted deep. The megalodon (there is some dispute about its genus) is a huge relative of the great white shark that lived from about 20- to 2.6 million years ago, becoming extinct during the Pleistocene. Probably.
Fortunately for the filmmakers, they can take as much creative license as they like because very little is actually known about the megalodon. As explained by John E. Randall in Science, the only megalodon fossils that have ever been found are teeth and vertebrae. Sharks and their cousins the rays only have cartilage, not bones, so only hard or very solid parts easily fossilize. The upshot is that any information about such basics as length is extrapolated from the size of the teeth. Reconstructions of megalodon jaws are also based on (likely incorrect) guesses. Estimates of the megalodon's length vary wildly. Randall, for one, believed that most length estimates were way too long.
Fossilized megalodon teeth were included in a ceremonial offering, indicating some degree of reverence for the monstrous fossils.
Another misconception is that the megalodon is an extinct, larger ancestor of the great white shark. While the meg was certainly larger, the two species were contemporaries. The megalodon arose earlier, according to Kathryn A. Dickson and Jeffrey B. Graham. The earliest records of the great white date to around 15 million years ago, overlapping for millions of years with the meg. The phylogeny of the two species is debated but they might not even be that closely related. They did share some similar habits; the finding of abundant juvenile megalodon teeth near Panama suggested that megalodon also made use of coastal waters as nursery areas for their young, much as white and other sharks do. And, as many great whites do, megalodon fed extensively on marine mammals.
Entering the realm of speculation, how might people have interacted with a megalodon? According to archaeologist Stephan F. de Borhegyi in The Southwestern Journal of Anthropology, in at least one instance fossilized megalodon teeth were included in a ceremonial offering, indicating some degree of reverence for the monstrous fossils. Furthermore, accounts from the early sixteenth century suggest that Pre-Columbian fisherman fearlessly pursued large sharks from small canoes, using wooden harpoons and small fishhooks. They were a couple million years too late to take on a megalodon, but much like Mr. Statham's characters, prehistoric fishers were clearly brave and resourceful.
