42nd National Marketing Conference to Reveal Secrets for Success.
Deciphering marketing trends are as difficult as decoding the world's unsolved mysteries. Because like conducting investigations, discovering today's consumer trends entail one to have a keen eye and a wide variety of techniques to be able to crack it.
Driven with such premise, the Philippine Marketing Association (PMA) has taken bold steps as it is set to offer a Sherlock-Holmes inspired 42nd National Marketing Conference (NMC), dubbed as True Marketing Stories Exposed: Revealing Secrets for Business Success, slated on June 23 to 24 at the Grand Ballroom of Sofitel Philippine Plaza in Pasay City.
According to Von Hizon-De Torres, president of PMA, this year's NMC takes one to a deeper and more comprehensive look into the ever-changing landscape of Philippine marketing. "This is where the truth about marketing is exposed—real stories as told by people who took a bold step and made an impact in the industry," she said.
With marketers dressed as true detectives, this year's theme highlights the significance of "investigative marketing" in enhancing the business profitability of the top corporate leaders and marketing professionals.
Chaired by PMA past president Bernardo "Ber" Pacheco, the marketing conference will uncover topics ranging from today's dynamic consumer trends down to learning creative ways to position a new product against those that are already established.
For day one, with the theme Understanding Marketing Today, topics to be revealed are: Investigating the State of Marketing; Captivating Today's Unfaithful Customer; Marketing War for Talents; Pricing Against the Giants; and Sense and Sensibility Challenge: Marketing the experience.
Learning marketing styles from the expert, the discussions are said to give one a comprehensive identification and understanding of key factors and "temptations" that influence market behavior, as well as tips on how small companies can compete with the big ones in terms of attracting potential manpower, among others.
Come day two, the target will be on Marketing Solutions with topics exposing the following industry trends, specifically, The Anatomy of the "Empreneur:" The 21st century marketer; Digital Brand Health: A framework for marketing using digital; Bringing on the Goods to the Next Level; Branding Against Big Brands; Promotions that Really Make Money; and Battlefield of Activations: The first moment of truth.
Covering such topics, the second day of NMC will puzzle out ways to learn the creative mix for a hardworking employee with superb entrepreneurial mindset; to view positively the big makeover, where PR and marketing get digital; to find out ways to differentiate a product from the big brands and effectively penetrate the market; and to discover inspiring ways to get people join a noble cause, plus how emotional marketing can help brand activation.
The banner activity of the Philippine Marketing Association, the 42nd National Marketing Conference is paralleled with the association's aim to develop and promote Marketing as a science and a profession guided principally by the universal principles of ethics, corporate citizenship, and corporate social responsibility.
For registration and other inquiries, please contact the PMA secretariat at 634-5722 or 634-4890 and look for Ms. Lira Ligero. You can also visit www.philippinemarketing.net.ph or e-mail at pmanmc_2011@yahoo.com.

Slow temperature rise to take heavy toll on Pakistan
Small changes in temperature and rainfall have seriously damaged living standards, health and productivity in Pakistan, shows a new World Bank report
Pakistan is one of the world's countries most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change [image by: Asian Development Bank]
Tania Imran, April 29, 2019
"We return to our fields every day, hoping for a miracle but the days are just getting hotter. If the temperature continues to rise, we are not sure how we will survive," said Bibi Sajida. She was one of the people taking part in a focus group discussion in Badin district of Pakistan's Sindh province undertaken by LEAD Pakistan. Her husband is an agriculturalist, and it is the primary source of their family's income, and things are projected to get much worse. Studies indicate that temperatures in Sindh will increase by 4 degrees Celsius by the end of this century.
Climate change is typically perceived as a series of floods, droughts and heat waves. It is only natural to focus on such extreme catastrophes and not the seemingly minimal rise in temperatures. However, the World Bank's latest regional flagship report titled 'South Asia's Hotspots' reveals the long-term impacts of increasing average temperatures on living standards (quantified based on consumption expenditures). The lead economist and co-author of the report, Muthukumara Mani, recently presented the key findings for Pakistan at a talk hosted by LEAD Pakistan.
In the report "hotspots are defined as areas where changes in average weather will adversely affect livings tandards. Hotspots are the result of two interrelated factors: (a) the magnitude of predicted changes in average weather at the local level; and (b) the relationship between weather and living standards in that location." Due to the high dependence of rain-fed agriculture in Pakistan – and South Asia as a whole – the impact of weather on living standards is particularly high.
Unfortunately, despite being the fastest growing region in the world, South Asia is among the poorest. Under a carbon-intensive climate scenario, it is estimated that around 800 million people in this region – 45% of the population – currently live in areas projected to become moderate or severe climate hotspots by 2050. The report defines three levels of hotspots, "Hotspots are labelled mild when projected consumption spending declines by less than 4 percent, moderate for declines of 4-8%, and severe for declines exceeding 8%."
But with pressing issues such as low literacy rates, inadequate healthcare facilities and lack of infrastructure, South Asian countries such as Pakistan struggle to prioritise and allocate resources for climate change. Even though financing climate action inevitably results in enhanced resilience and accelerated socioeconomic growth – how best to do this is far less clear. Mani explained, "Decisions such as 'where and how much money to put?' require information on how climate change impacts their economies". Similarly, the impacts of gradual variation in temperature and precipitation is comparatively uncharted territory. While we have are familiar with early warning systems for mitigating rapid on-set disasters such as floods, we are unaware of the potential threats associated with supposedly insignificant temperature change.
Poor farmers hit the worst
While it might be difficult to quantify the socioeconomic impacts of gradually increasing temperature, the effects are already becoming clear. Mani recalled the tragic incident of an Indian farmer who committed suicide in the Indian state of Maharashtra owing to the varying temperature and precipitation that severely affected his crop yield. "Rainfall and temperature [variance] have reached such a stage that cultivating sugarcane and cotton is no longer suitable. However, farmers continue to grow these crops – due to lack of awareness – which inevitably results in reduced yield. To make up for the losses, they take loans but the crop fails again. Hence they end up in a vicious cycle of indebtedness and ultimately commit suicide'. Previous research has shown that climate change may have contributed to the suicides of nearly 60,000 Indian farmers and farm workers over the past three decades, due to the toll of rising temperatures.
Serious health and productivity damage
Rising average temperatures are also expected to reduce labour productivity, impact health and migration. The study shows that labour productivity in Pakistan decreases as temperature increases. In addition, the warmer climate facilitates the spread of vector-borne and other infectious diseases, resulting in loss of productivity and income.
Climate-induced migration is another byproduct of this climate change. It is estimated that approximately 193 million people in Pakistan will live in climate hotspots – the total population of Pakistan as of 2017. With the decline in incomes, and variations in rainfall, not only will people be pushed into poverty, but many may be forced to relocate, depending on the severity of the impact. With limited financial resources, Pakistan simply does not have the capacity to accommodate huge movements of people.
These factors in turn impede economic growth and worsen poverty levels. While agriculture in Pakistan's northern areas is thriving due to the warmer temperatures, the study shows that Punjab and Sindh provinces – which contribute 53% and 30% to national GDP respectively – are likely to face a 3% decline in overall living standards. This decline can be attributed to lower incomes, as the changing climate will soon force people out of their traditional professional domains.
The report recognises improving basic infrastructure and increasing access to electricity could ease the decline in living standards in Pakistan in these distressing times. In addition, policy actions to stimulate nonagricultural employment opportunities and improve education and increase road density would also considerably improve living standards. While this report will hopefully help awaken policy makers to the reality of climate change, it is crucial to consider each district on a case by case basis since impacts differ at varying scales.
It is important to note the study's findings do not take into account the rising sea levels and the subsequent vulnerability of the coastal regions in Pakistan. Therefore, to fill the lacunas and prepare specialised adaptation plans, Ali Tauqeer Sheikh, CEO of LEAD Pakistan, suggested developing an inclusive climate vulnerability assessment for each district in the country.

Like the archetypal tales of Cain and Abel or Rachel and Leah, our sibling bonds can be a mix of love and resentment. Sibling rivalry, with its complex feelings, often leads to a cascade of emotions – empathy, guilt, manipulation, shame.
Consider what defines the relationships with your brothers and sisters – is it birth order, personality, common interests, values or similar character traits? It's not unusual for kids to feel that mom had a favorite and that impacts everyone. Think about your family dynamics and how they play out.
Then look at what's going on between you and your siblings as your parents begin to decline.
There's a lot going on as you try to keep all the balls in the air. Worrying about your parents and the decisions you'll have to make on their behalf is stressful. At the same time you're facing loss – your parents as you knew them, fears about their declining health and eventual death.
Love for your parents and shared memories are what you have in common. Now is the time to support each other. If you live far away but have the wherewithal to help financially, do it and call often. If you live local, are hands-on and don't think the others are doing enough, tell them and understand the guilt they may be feeling.
Whether its frustration, sadness or grief, have a conversation with your siblings or friends who know what you're going through. It can be cathartic to put it all on the table and easier to sort out. And those who have been in your situation may guide you to a different perspective and possible solutions.
We all have unique skills and strengths. Which of your siblings has some free time and manages money well or lives close to your folks and is persuasive enough to gain their cooperation? Try to put the best use of everyone's talents to work.
Arrange a family meeting and try to resolve any longstanding disputes. Include your parents and discuss their preferences about how they want to live as they decline. As difficult as this may be, it will minimize confusion and conflict in the long run.
Put what you're learning into play. You don't have to wait until you're incapacitated to consider some of these issues, write a will or create a legacy. Be a good role model, for the benefit of your children. Remember, they're watching.
Rosemary Lichtman, Ph.D. and Phyllis Goldberg, Ph.D. are family relationship experts with a 4-step model for change. Whether you're coping with stress, acting out teenagers, aging parents, boomerang kids or difficult daughters-in-law, we have solutions. Discover practical tips about how to deal with parents growing older and children growing up.
I am so thankful to have siblings that help with caring for my aging father. It would be overwhelming to deal with everything alone.
We each have our part to do. No score-keeping allowed.

Saturday was my friend's child's first birthday and I made him some cute things!
I made these gem shaped blocks from wood scraps! With the help of my father and his various saws, we took a piece of 2x4 and cut it into small angled blocks. (It was a little bit tricky, but we still have all our fingers!) After the blocks were cut to size, we sanded them and I painted them with some fun neon colors.
Deciding on the container for the blocks was a little difficult, but I was at the store and found a plastic gem shaped box to use that ended up being a bit large so I had to add an extra something.
That knit ball I shared last week was turned into a cute dragon softie because dragons and gems go together. All dragon parts that weren't the ball don't have a pattern, I made it up as I was knitting.
And I have to share the cute wrapping! My mom showed me a trick to make unwrapping presents easier and I think I'll be using it often. You take a length of ribbon and place it under the wrapping paper, putting a piece of tape at the bottom to hold it in place and looping it at the top sticking out so you can pull it. See the picture below, my explanation isn't very clear.
To open the package, just pull on the ribbon loop and it will tear open the wrapping paper! So Much Fun!!!
Soooo cute! And does it open like a pack of gum, or cigarettes?
Thanks! Yes, the pull string packaging opens like both of those.
Im going to have to try that!

Nursery Raises £500 for Charity
A Nursery in Kidderminster has raised an amazing £500 in support of a local schoolgirl who has been recently diagnosed with leukaemia. Little Trinity Nursery and nursery parents made and sold cakes, orange hats and ribbons to show their support for eight-year-old Hunnie Morris, a pupil at Holy Trinity School and Sixth Form Centre, who was diagnosed with leukaemia, which is cancer of the blood, in December. Nursery Manager, Miss Gaynor Carter, said: "Wow and a great big thank you to everyone for their support and kind donations. I am constantly overwhelmed by the level of help we receive from our nursery families and a personal thank you to Mr O'Brien of Kaya Thai Food who donated £120 from sales through his Thai Take Away business." All money will be forwarded to Holy Trinity School with the final amount raised split between Birmingham Children's Hospital and Little Princess Trust, which is based at the Worcestershire Royal Hospital, and used to support children suffering with Leukaemia.

Iván Thays: La disciplina de la vanidad [The Discipline of Vanity]
Iván Thays may well be best known, at least outside Latin America, for his superb literary blog (in Spanish, now defunct), one of the few essential literary blogs. He has written six novels but none has been translated into English (Un lugar llamado Oreja de Perro has been translated into French and Italian). Getting hold of his books (in Spanish) in Europe is not particularly easy, which is sad. This book is about writing and, specifically, about the difference between writing and being a writer. The two may overlap but they are not the same.
The plot concerns a literary conference organised by the Spanish Centre for Young Writers, to be held in (the fictitious) Morillo near Malaga. The Centre has invited and paid for young writers from all parts of the Spanish-speaking world. They are to be lodged in a special centre. It turns out to be a place that was built as a prison but, after many objections, was never used as a prison and has now been converted to the Centre's conference facilities (and, yes, the obvious jokes are made). The conference is set to last for three weeks and the book covers the period of the conference. Peru is represented by five writers – the narrator who is presumably based on Thays himself (he did attend a similar conference in Spain), Mario a young writer but older than the narrator, who has had some success, and Tunc, Aut and Nunquam – who have joined together to form La Liga en pro de la Moral y el Buen Gusto [The League for Morals and Good Taste]. He mocks them throughout the book. He also quotes the Peruvian writer Abraham Valdelomar who said that the first duty of a Peruvian writer is to avoid being squashed by other Peruvian writers. They are lodged in rooms with one other person. The rooms are named after famous novels. The narrator is in Pale Fire, just next to Memoirs of Hadrian. These and the other rooms are presumably books that Thays admires.
The book is quite complex and unashamedly post-modern. As can be seen from the names of the other Peruvian writers, Thays mocks the type of literature and writers he does not admire. In one of the segments that the novel consists of he says ¿Por qué nadie lee en los aeropuertos libros empastados, obviamente extraídos de la biblioteca del abuelo? ¿Por qué todos se empeñanan en libros de bolsillo, paperbacks, en otros idiomas, con caratulas estridentes? Por qué libros de autores de moda? ¿Por qué Auster, Mastretta, Nabokov, Rushdie, Bayly? ¿Cuando leerá alguien un tomo de enciclopedia? ¿Cuándo a Balzac? [Why does nobody in airports read hardback books, clearly taken from their grandfather's library? Why do they read paperbacks, in other languages, with garish covers? Why fashionable authors? Why Auster, Mastretta, Nabokov, Rushdie, Bayly? When will people read an encyclopedia volume? When will they read Balzac?] (I doubt that any people in British airports read Bayly or Mastretta and few read Auster, Nabokov or Rushdie but I did see someone on the tube read Balzac in English once.) But he mocks not just authors and writing he despises but the other nationalities. He has a go at the Argentinians who try to dominate the discussions and mildly mocks others as well, though he agrees that the Argentinians gave the world Borges and have the best football but also the only authentic literary vanity. Of course, he is particularly concerned at mocking those who want to be writers (and stars) rather than those who just want to write. A Costa Rican writer who goes on about ecology and the novel is one of his many targets, as is the Panamanian writer who insists in saying Poet or prose writer? to everyone he meets. Some of the writers are given nicknames – Mario becomes Bobby Peru, for example, while the African writer who pontificates is called Mboma, named after an African footballer. It is Mboma who sums up the purposes of the conference – to eat rather that talk about literature. He may well have added to have sex, which also happens a fair amount.
After a hiccup, the narrator eventually shares a room with Mario and they become good friends. Much of their time is spent playing a video game called Winning Eleven (in English) involving international football teams and they seem to be expert on the various international football teams of the period. However a good part of the book is taken up with a series of linked stories written by the narrator, essentially about a Peruvian writer and his friends, which Mario critiques. On arrival the narrator sees what he assumes to be a young boy but who turns out to be a fifteen-year old girl, whom he nicknames the Symbol Girl and who says her name is Frances Farmer. (Frances Farmer was a US film actress. Thays' first book was a book of stories called Las fotografías de Frances Farmer [The Photographs of Frances Farmer].) They become close. She is not the only symbol in the book – there is the ever-present rhinoceros who may be, in part, the sexual noises of the red-haired Venezuelan who looks like his ex-girlfriend (which is how he always describes her) but also clearly is the symbol for vanity and fall.
Vanity is, of course, a theme. We get this idea early on in the book when the flight is taking off. All the writers, he imagines, are not worried so much about the plane crashing but what the newspapers will say about them when the plane does crash. Will they be mentioned as the most important victim of the crash or just mentioned on a passenger list? But he discusses throughout the book many aspects of writers and writing, with references to many actual writers. For example, there is the story of Tolstoy attending an actual execution in Paris or the remark by Hemingway that he could write like Tolstoy if he wanted, it is just that he did not want to or the comments by Mauriac that only older people can be writers as younger writers have only their childhood to remember. Thays concludes, however, stating that no-one reads Mauriac any more.
The book is a joy to read, with comments on and quotes from a variety of authors, plot twists (is Carmen Balcells there, perhaps in disguise; Mario's arrest for shop-lifting) and numerous discussions both by the narrator and as part of the conference on the role of literature, the writer and writing. It is a thoroughly original novel, as we would expect from a foremost Latin American writer, and one that should be made available in other languages, though I cannot see it being translated into English, which is a great loss for English-speaking readers.

Re: Europe (4.00 / 6)
Le Parisien: L'incroyable histoire de la naissance des 3% de déficit (28.09.2012)
Ce haut fonctionnaire, Guy Abeille, l'avoue aujourd'hui : les 3 %, inventés en une heure un soir de juin 1981, ne reposaient sur aucune théorie économique mais, pour cette raison sans doute, il convint parfaitement à François Mitterrand, qui avait exigé, pour faire barrage à ses ministres trop dépensiers, un chiffre rond et facile à retenir. Et voici comment le fondement de notre politique budgétaire, imposé comme une règle d'airain à toute l'Europe, a vu le jour... au doigt mouillé.
The Incredible Story of the Birth of the 3% Deficit
This high functionary, Guy Abeille, confesses today: the 3%, invented in an hour one evening in June 1981, did not rest on any economic theory but, no doubt for this very reason, it was perfectly convenient for François Mitterrand, qho had demanded, to rein in his spendthrift ministers, a round number easy to remember. Behold how the foundation of our budget policy, imposed as an iron rule on all of Europe, saw the light of day... with a finger in the air.

I was at a loss translating that. How would you have done it?
Maybe "how [it] saw the light of day... out of their sleeve/thin air/their arse"?
I regularly hear native (UK) colleagues say "finger in the air", so that's probably the best translation for the expression by itself.
In context I (not a native speaker) would say "out of thin air" is the best current phrase and fits with the rest of the sentence.
I don't know, it's not easy to translate.
By rule of thumb?
Otherwise it evokes for me the alternative French expression "à vue de nez" (colloquially "au pif"), that is, in Occitan/Catalan "a vista de nas" and in Castilian (I think) "a vista de nariz".
But English doesn't use noses like that.
I think there's some method to the madness in the case of 'a rule of thumb', which is not the case with a licked finger in the wind.

Presseurop: The secret of 3% finally revealed (28 September 2012)
Guy Abeille, age 62, a former senior Budget Ministry official and "the inventor of the concept, endlessly repeated by all governments whether of the right or the left, that the public deficit should not exceed 3% of the national wealth," told the newspaper -
We came up with the 3% figure in less than an hour. It was a back of an envelope calculation, without any theoretical reflection. Mitterrand needed an easy rule that he could deploy in his discussions with ministers who kept coming into his office to demand money. [...] We needed something simple. 3%? It was a good number that had stood the test of time, somewhat reminiscent of the Trinity.
The daily remarks on the strange character of this anecdote: "In an irony of history, the technocrats in Brussels drew on the legendary 3% for inspiration when creating another rule [stipulated by the new Fiscal Compact], just as factitiously Cartesian, which obliges states to limit their structural deficits to 0.5%. Why not 1% or 2% ? No one really knows."

There is material here for several books on political theory, sociology, anthropology ...
The wikipedia article on Abeille links to this from 2010:
Pourquoi le déficit à 3% du PIB est une invention 100%... française
J'en viens au seuil magique - pour un peu, chamanique - du déficit à 3% du PIB.

10 billion from households (holy moley!)

The Game of Life (none / 0)
An American strategic analyst I met briefly at a conference way back in Copenhagen insisted that 3.18 was a magic number of stability in 'economics': he had some algorithm based on sustainable growth, paying down debt through inflation and the fact that 3.18% growth would represent a doubling in 22 years i.e. a generation. He never once mentioned chaos theory, but (and here I am open to brickbats) in complex dynamic systems there does appear to be algorithmic significance.
I'm not impressed by generational theories since the birth rate in most societies is fairly stable during a couple of decades. 'Generation' as in 'Talking about my...'. Generations continuously overlap, but the major phenomena that influence the culture of a society (pan-generationally): Depression, WWII, the Beatles, Thatcher, or whatever, do have an impact/aftermath that is maintained within a certain period (22 years?), after which the phenomena tend to become museified.

Yeah, and 22 = 2*11.

Obfuscation? (4.00 / 2)
Not as such:
ABSTRACT. We provide a definition of an attractor to a multivalued iterated function system (IFS) modelled on previous ones existing in the literature (e.g. [Hale, J. K.: Asymptotic Behavior of Dissipative Systems. Math. Surveys Monographs 25, Amer. Math. Soc, Providence, RI, 1988]). Such an attractor expressing asymptotic behaviour of a system does not need to be invariant. Then, as a remedy there serves the uniform Hausdorff upper semicontinuity It was recently shown that condensing multifunctions possess a maximal invariant set which is
compact. The theorem ensuring the existence of attractors considered here also exploits compactness-like hypothesis slightly stronger than condensity, namely contractivity with respect to measure of noncompactness. Hence contractivity in measure and uniform Hausdorff upper semicontinuity together do guarantee existence of a compact attractor which is maximal invariant and unique. We also supply examples (e.g. unbounded attractor) and state further questions.

The judge found this policy unlawful, because it "would reasonably tend to chill employees in the exercise of their Section 7 rights." Under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act, both union and non-union employees have the right to discuss their terms and conditions of employment with other employees. The judge found that this rule is overly broad, ambiguous and "severely restricts employees from discussing or complaining about any terms and conditions of employment, [including, ironically] positive comments about a person's personal or professional life." The judge is following many case decisions in which overly broad rules have been struck down. For example, rules violating federal law include those restricting "false, vicious, profane or malicious statements" and "disrespectful conduct."
What steps should Human Resources take? Examine the rules in the Employee Handbook. If these rules are ambiguous, determine how the company may more specifically define conduct that it wants to restrict and contact legal counsel to confirm your language. For example, are words such as "injurious, offensive, threatening, intimidating and harassing" unlawful?

India Exploring More job Avenues for Dentists
Health Ministry is trying to formulate plans about how to absorb dentists at the districts and block levels
The government is seeking to create more job opportunities for dental professionals to provide employment to fresh graduates in the field, Health and Family Welfare Minister Ghulam Nabi Azad said.
"India is number one in the world to have so many dental colleges, both in private and government sector. Every year, around 20,000 students pass out from these colleges. This area would certainly get saturated at one point, so we have to find more ways and means to create more employment opportunities," he said, reports IANS.
"We are planning to create more job opportunities for dentists in the hospitals at districts and block levels. Our Health Ministry is trying to formulate plans about how to absorb dentists at the lower level. It will be a win-win situation for everyone and will take care of the problem of educated unemployment in the country," Azad said.
"In the coming years, rather than in months, we are coming up with a solution for this, so that our boys and girls are not left disheartened. We are also giving more emphasis on the quality of dentistry," he said, after inaugurating the second clinical block of the H.S.J. Institute of Dental Sciences and Hospital here.
"In a recent survey, done by an internationally reputed agency, about the smoking habits in India, we found that 35 per cent of the adult population smoke in our country. More shocking findings were that 26 per cent of these 35 per cent are using smokeless tobacco," he said.
"As much as 80 per cent of oral cancer in India is due to the chewing of smokeless tobacco and it badly affects teeth. In India, 12 per cent people, between the ages of 60 to 65 years, start losing their teeth, either partially or completely. Therefore role of dentistry is far beyond what we are looking at," he added.

Q: cannot write to certain directory using CentOS distro
Possible Duplicate:
What are the best linux permissions to use for my website?

I have a script that will generate an image then upload it in a certain directory. The script works fine, however uploading it in the CentOS server, it won't work anymore. By debugging, I have found out that this is a permission denied issue. I am forced to chmod -R 777 certain_directory to make it work.
I am not convince with this, I can't set the directory ownership to www-data I'm used to when I am using Debian. Any workaround for this?

A: The user you are using to upload the image to the certain_directory should have write permission on the directory you are uploading to. Now for example the user is jon then you can change the directory permission by
chown jon:jon certain_directory.
If you do not want to change the ownership to jon user then add jon in user's group by editing the /etc/group and change the permission of the group by using the command
chmod 764 certain_directory.
Here 6 means user can read and write to certain_directory

Corey Deuel crying about European players in American tournaments. Wants them in their own bracket, not getting a lot of sympathy.
"What do players think about having international players get seeded into one side of bracket and Americans seeded to the other side. This would help for rankings. I've seen this done in other country's seems to work great. what you guys think???"

This must have been done at an overseas tournament. Or he is just making a point about how ridiculous handicaps have become.
is kind of hungry...
To be fair to Corey, it was either the China Open or a Chinese 8 ball championships that did this. There were separate brackets for international players and Chinese players. So it's not like it was his idea.
I think it was the Texas open that just happened? Corey also made this comment, I guess he almost missed his match.

At 3-cushion World Cup events, at least at one time, as much as possible players from one country/region were separated as much as possible in the draw so that you wouldn't be travelling 5000 miles to be playing your friend. Since all such players were at the same unseeded level, it seemed like a pretty reasonable adjustment. I think it's far more reasonable than clumping players by region.

I've not run into Corey in recent years, but he's always been innovative in his strategies for pool as well as other happenings in his life. He gave snooker a serious look and competed in a couple events, and he's always been a golf enthusiast. I admire the kid for his creativity, i.e., bird break, which spread like wildfire at the World Championship in Philippines. Everybody was doing the bird break. In fact, there is one school of thought that the winner that year only won because of his bird break perfection, not his shot-making capabilities. After that tournament, the three-balls-must-pass rule came to the fore.
Corey is 43 now and still out there competing in pool tournaments. I'm not sure how he makes a living these days, but I'm sure pool doesn't make ends meet for 95 percent of all pool players who compete professionally. I respect their opinions and suggestions as they know what's going on out there more than I do as a railbird.
He was one of the youngest ever to U.S. Open 9-ball Championship, I think in close ranking with Mike Sigel.
As an aside, when we used to travel the American pool tournament trail, all the ladies were in awe of Corey. He was, to them, the Elvis Presley of pool, and the funny thing about it, the young handsome lad never realized how much he was admired the female persuasion. He was all about competition and winning.
When a player like Corey shares their thoughts, I'll listen. Buddy Hall was a strong proponent of loser breaks. Both of these veteran players' thoughts/opinions are worthy of consideration.
Here's a cute shot of Corey in 2003 at the Big Apple tournament, never realizing how many female followers hung onto his every word.

Corey suggests seeding the top 5 Americans through the top side of the bracket, and the top 5 foreigners in the bottom side of the bracket. The separation in each half of the bracket ensures the best odds at seeing the highest level of talent in the later rounds, while also ensuring that at least 1 American will have a seat in the finals of the American hosted event.

That was nearly 20 years ago, I'm sure the beads are long gone LoL

Q: handling options of another select element in ng-repeat I want to achieve something like that, but not sure how can I do that. Inside a ng-repeat I have 2 select list, based on selection value from first select I need to load the content of second select, JSP code is

    <select ng-change="handleChange()">
        <option ng-repeat="c in cList" value="{{c.id}}" ng-disabled="!c.enabled" ng-selected="c.id == TypeList[0].id">{{c.name}}</option>
    </select>
    <select ng-model="outMessageType[obj]" ng-options="t.id as t.name for t in outTypes"></select>

I need to send an ajax call in handleChange() method and on success, I need to refresh the second select list but only for this item generated via TypeList.
js code:
$scope.handleChange = function(data) {
    $http({
        method: 'GET',
        url: 'url',
    }).success(function(data, status, headers, config) {
        $scope.outTypes = data.types;
    }
}

When I tried to do like this, its updating the value of second select list for all items generated by ng-repeat.

A: Check working demo: JSFiddle.
Use ng-change to capture the change event and retrieve the options of the second select list. Use Objects to selected nested options and models.
angular.module('Joy', [])
    .controller('JoyCtrl', ['$scope', '$http', function ($scope, $http) {
    $scope.options = [0, 1, 2, 3, 4];
    $scope.firsts = {};
    $scope.seconds = {};
        $scope.secondOptions = {};
    $scope.loadSecond = function (userId, index) {
        $http.get('http://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts?userId=' + userId).then(function (data) {
            $scope.secondOptions[index] = data.data;
        });
    };
}]);

HTML:

        <select ng-model="firsts[i]" ng-change="loadSecond(firsts[i], i)">
            <option ng-repeat="opt in options" value="{{$index}}" name="{{$index}}">User {{opt}}</option>
        </select>Selected: {{first}}
       Posts of this user {{secondOptions[i].length}}:

A busy and interactive ILTM
The 14th edition of International Luxury Travel Market (ILTM) in Cannes, France, opened with the Global Forum bringing storytelling to the centre of the stage, highlighting its relevance to both luxury travel brands and agents as they convey their stories to their diverse high net worth clients.
The scene was set by Claire Bennett, vice-president, strategic partnerships, American Express Consumer Travel who drew on her strategic role at Amex to talk through the luxury of tomorrow. She focused on three key trends, namely connectivity, personalisation and high-touch service – stressing that the travel industry had to work more towards addressing those top three needs throughout the journey.
"The importance of the internet is key for the luxury goods and travel industry – high-end agents understand how essential it is to map out all stages of the traveller's journey – before, during and after the experience. Mobile technology is also playing an increasingly important role in the personalisation of luxury travel journeys for travellers from all four corners of the world," said Alison Gilmore, senior exhibition director, ILTM Portfolio.
The forum also explored the topic of behavioural economics with Thomas Trautmann, Partner, SalesBrain, as well as an in-depth look into the narrative potential of a company's content, presented by Robert Mckee, a renowned story telling guru who has worked with top screen writers and actors.
The future of luxury travel will be driven by the middle classes from emerging markets, it emerged during this year's ILTM in Cannes, France.
With increasing levels of income and a rapidly growing middle class, luxury travel is expected to experience the highest growth, particularly in the US, Asia Pacific and the Middle East and Africa, said the new luxury travel trends report published by ILTM, in association with Euromonitor.
ILTM witnessed 60,000 business generating meetings take place between luxury travel brands and over 1,500 luxury travel agents representing the highest net worth travellers across the globe.
During the four-day event, leading hospitality groups announced major international developments, with luxury hotels drawing significant attention to the Middle East and Africa region, which is expected to see growing demand and non-stop investment.
Europe will remain a popular destination, with a weaker euro currently providing good value for money for US tourists. In terms of outbound trips, Germany and the UK have ranked as top source markets from Western Europe.
Russia, however, is predicted to see minimal growth in outbound trips over 2014-2019 with the MINTS also lagging behind in departures, despite their economic growth, and with incomes remaining too low for many citizens to travel.
Worldwide, the report reveals that the number of affluent households is expected to grow between 2015 and 2030. North America will continue to have the wealthiest number of households, but despite the economic slowdown, Asia Pacific is still expected to see the fastest increase, posting a predicted 113 per cent growth between 2015 and 2030.
Australasia and North America will follow Asia Pacific, posting growth of 86 per cent and 80per cent in affluent households respectively, between 2015 and 2030.
MIDEAST IN 2016
In the lead up to 2020, top hospitality groups are branching out their development strategy to the Middle East, targeting affluent customers in the region.
With the debut of the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay in the kingdom this year, leading hotel group Four Seasons plans to add three more Middle Eastern destinations to the global traveller's wish list in 2016 including:
Abu Dhabi, UAE - The first Four Seasons in the Emirati capital, the 200-room Four Seasons Hotel Abu Dhabi will be located at Al Maryah Island and will feature an array of dining option including a retro-modern Chicago steakhouse, a cocktail bar, and a poolside restaurant. The building will also house 124 private and serviced residences.
Dubai, UAE – Having entered the UAE with its beachfront resort in Dubai less than a year ago, the group will open its second location in the city next year in the 100 acre downtown business district with the 106-room Four Seasons Hotel Dubai International Financial Centre. The hotel will feature an eighth floor sky bar boasting Burj Khalifa views with a cigar room on the mezzanine as well as a rooftop pool and garden.
Kuwait City, Kuwait – The first Four Seasons in Kuwait will be the 263-room Four Seasons Hotel Kuwait at Burj Alshaya in the central business district. The hotel will feature five food and beverage options as well as a spectacular indoor pool in the beautifully designed spa and fitness complex.
The Oberoi Group, a global chain of premium five-star hotels, is also venturing into the Middle East with two luxury hotels next year – in Ajman, UAE and Marrakech, Morocco.
The Oberoi, Al Zorah, Ajman, located 30 minutes from Dubai airport, is a luxury eco-destination and will house 113 villas, suites and penthouses. The spacious and luxuriously appointed rooms will all have private balconies, while the villas and suites offer terraces and temperature-controlled private pools.
Located 20 minutes south of the city centre, The Oberoi, Marrakech is nestled within 25 acres of fragrant citrus orchards and ancient olive groves, offering 77 villas each with a private temperature controlled pool set in the privacy of a beautifully landscaped garden. In addition to the villas, there are six Deluxe Rooms and a Presidential Suite with Private Pool located in the main building of the hotel with its magnificent and opulent Moroccan architecture.
Hong Kong-based Mandarin Oriental unveiled plans to develop a second property in the Middle East, with the Mandarin Oriental, Doha set to open in 2016.
The hotel, which will be located in the central part of Musheireb, will feature 160 luxurious guestrooms and suites, as well as 95 serviced apartments. The property will also house an all-encompassing Spa, a variety of restaurants and bars and extensive banqueting and meeting facilities.
Joining in the Middle East development furore are hotel groups Viceroy and Anantara, with hotels scheduled to open in the Gulf region next year.
Viceroy Dubai Palm Jumeirah will offer guests 481 large rooms and suites, and 221 signature Viceroy Residences, as well as spectacular dining venues featuring Hong Kong and Italian cuisines hosted by world-class chefs, a modern spa, a beach club and a 100-m long pool. The property will also offer children's clubs, entertainment and sporting activities.
Thailand's Anantara resorts is also venturing into the Middle East with an upcoming property in Oman. Anantara Al Jabal Al Akhdar Resort will feature 82 rooms and 33 villas, located in the rocky contours of the vast Saiq Plateau on Oman's fabled Green Mountain. The resort will also offer three restaurants, two bars, a shisha lounge and an infinity swimming pool with belvedere and much more.

Got that shiny stainless steel appliance during the Diwali sale, but now keeping it spotless and clean drives your crazy? Feel like it is a daily chore and you are worried about ruining the shine by using a blend of chemicals all day ? Well help is at hand, and these common ingredients from your kitchen can be a cheap and effective cleaner, with no damage to your shiny appliance or to your delicate skin. SO Have stainless steel appliances? no problem! read this article to know how to clean them naturally.
If you have stuck-on grime or masala paste or ketchup , you can use a simple cleaner to remove this. Cut a lemon in half and dip it in baking soda. This will foam a bit, helping you in your cleaning.
Rub the lemon over the spots you want to clean and let it sit for a few minutes. Wipe off and rinse with clear warm water. Repeat if necessary.
Once you remove most of the larger particles of grime, then move on to the polish.
This home made polish will buff and shine your appliances, and is one of the easiest things you'll ever make. Keep it in a spray bottle so you can use during the week , as required.
Mix ingredients together and apply to the surface. Rub it in a bit and buff it off, wiping with the grain. If you keep it in a spray bottle, be sure to shake it well before you spray. If you make it in a bowl, stir well before you dip your rag in.
This can be used on all sorts of stainless steel appliances, sinks, faucets, door hardware and even car bumpers. The mixture works on chrome as well as stainless steel.
If you are going to use this on anything that may be heated, such as a toaster or grill, you might want to use fractionated coconut oil. Regular vegetable oils will go rancid over time, especially when exposed to heat or sunlight. Fractionated coconut oil will stay liquid, unlike regular coconut oil, and will never go rancid, even if stored for years.


Proverbs repeatedly teaches us to raise our children in the ways of our God. As I get older and have the benifit of time to aid me in the reflection of my life and how we raised our children, I can see the wisdom of this concept. We have the benefit of having some of our grandchildren living with us while they look for a house and can see how molding children at an early age in the ways of our Lord is so much easier than when they are older or even as adults. It is never too late to teach your children about our God and what he did for us by sending Christ to save us. It is just easier to do when they are young. I thank my parents frequently for insisting that I went to church and Sunday school regularly. My decision to accept Christ was my own but the exposure they insisted I get had great benefit in making that decision. I pray frequently that all of my chilldren and their families know Jesus and make him the center of their lives.
Solomon talks a lot about riches and the poor. I liked vs 1 and 4 today.
You can't share your money with everyone but a gracious spirit, meekness and the fear of God will go a lot further. It is with you always and is useful in all circumstances.
Lord I want to develop and grow in graciousness, meekness and the fear of God, being generous with those things daily, pleasing you and blessing others by overflowing those unending riches. Lord you will take care of any other riches.
I can be hot tempered myself, so when I am around someone who gets upset it definitely affects my mood. It's good to read that keeping some distance between myself and folks like that is better for my faith. I have been trying to surround myself with fellow believers more so than ever before and this verse is a reminder to continue to widen my faith based circle and to shrink my non-Christian one.
The Lord is maker of them all.
God really levels the playing field, doesn't He. We as humans make so many distinctions of class and importance but just being His creation made in His wonderful image makes us all valuable and equally important. Our behaviours made need change and growth but regardless we are all so important, He suffered and died out of great love for us. Wow, how amazing!
This verse caught my attention as well and really humbled me.


Odell Beckham Jr. already has his eyes set on some prime real estate in Akron, Ohio.
After reports came out that the former Giants wide receiver had been traded to the Browns, Beckham jokingly expressed interest in living in LeBron James' Akron mansion, which the NBA star owns from his time in Cleveland with the Cavaliers before he signed with the Lakers last offseason.
James reacted to the reported trade on social media by posting a photo of Beckham and writing: "OH MY!!!! S*#% just got REAL!!"
But among the 10,000-plus comments, was one notable one from Beckham. The star wide receiver wrote, "Lemme hold the crib down," in reference to James' mansion in Ohio, according to cleveland.com.
The Giants received the Browns' first-round and third-round picks in 2019 along with safety Jabrill Peppers as part of the Beckham trade. The 26-year-old receiver was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year in 2014 and he has made three Pro Bowls. Beckham signed a five-year, $90 million deal with the Giants last season.

Veolia Opens 'World-First' Closed-Loop Glass Recycling Facility
More than 60,000 tonnes of household glass will be transformed into energy-saving insulation solutions at the "world-first" facility in St Helens, Merseyside. Used glass bottles and jars will be separated and refined by state-of-the-art technology to deliver an "ultra-pure" glass cullet.
The glass collected equates to more than 350 million bottles thrown out each year. More than 12,000 tonnes of CO2 are expected to be avoided with 76,000MWh energy saved, compared with traditional methods of manufacturing mineral wool insulation.
The site has been officially opened by project partners Knauf Insulation and waste management specialists Veolia, whose senior executive VP Estelle Brachlianoff described the investment as "good for jobs, good for the community and good for the planet".
She said: "To see our site officially open today is a vote of confidence in our technology and the quality of cullet we produce – and by using a significant amount of this glass in its manufacturing process, Knauf Insulation is setting the standard for other manufacturers to follow – making use of recycled material mainstream rather than niche.
"We want to see this first-of-its kind partnership pave the way for others; where waste is seen as an indispensable commodity and given a completely new lease of life. It would be fantastic to see more key industry players follow Knauf Insulation and incorporate circular economy thinking into production."
Circular boost
The new facility will dry and refine the glass into a recycled standard that has been cleaned and crushed into small fragments. The cullet will then then be fed into a furnace where it is melted and spun into glass mineral wool in order to manufacture energy saving insulation products.
The proximity of the new facility to Knauf Insulation's manufacturing plant, which sits next door, means that around 375,000 miles of road journeys will be saved. It enables Knauf Insulation to secure its glass supply and maximise the use of recycled, rather than virgin, materials.
Knauf Insulation's Northern Europe managing director John Sinfield said the move would take the company further on its "sustainability journey" by increasing the proportion of glass cullet used in the manufacture of its insulation solutions.
"This is also a real boost for the circular economy and the fact we have delivered this in partnership with Veolia demonstrates what can be achieved when two leaders in their respective fields work together to achieve mutual goals."

Otters, beavers and other wetland mammals once abundant in Britain, can now be appreciated in a new home thanks to help from Viridor Credits Environmental Company. Working through the Landfill Communities Fund, Viridor Credits gave £106,500 to help fund a new exhibition at the Wildlife & Wetlands Trust's (WWT) Slimbridge Wetland Centre in Gloucestershire.
The exhibit, called Back From The Brink, shows wetland mammals at Slimbridge Wetland Centre for the very first time. Otters, beavers, water shrews, harvest mice and water voles can all be seen; and a CCTV camera ensures that none of the beaver's antics are missed by visitors to Slimbridge.
Back From The Brink took over six months to complete and includes a viewing gallery which was built using the ancient art of mixing earth, straw, water and sand together to create a traditional cob building.
A mesolithic camp area equipped with a tree house, firepit and circular seating area is used for campfires, storytelling and educational activities. Veronica Morriss, senior operations manager at WWT Slimbridge, said: "With the help of Viridor Credits, Slimbridge is now one of the few attractions in the UK where visitors can watch a beaver in its natural habitat.
"The new exhibit engages the public in important conservation issues such as wetland habitat loss, species decline and extinction and the potential reintroduction of once native species, like the beaver, into the British landscape." As well as the help received from Viridor Credits, Back From The Brink has also been funded thanks to a legacy from the late Raymond Victor Safe, the Garfield Weston Foundation, the Dorus Trust, The Olive Herbert Charitable Trust and WWT members.

Microsoft's "Games with Gold" service goes live with Fable III
At its media briefing last week, Microsoft announced "Games with Gold", a service that promises Xbox Live Gold members two free games per month. The Redmond-based company is kicking off the service with a free copy of Fable III, redeemable for all Gold members through the end of the month.
Users can expect to get a new game on the 1st and 16th of each month, and the service seems to work just like Sony's PlayStation Plus subscription service, whereby the titles you elect to download remain yours as long as you remain an Xbox Live Gold member. This will help keep people in the ecosystem, but without an increase in the price of a Gold membership, it's kind of hard to argue against the $5 per month it costs to keep going.
The next game that members can expect to receive is Halo 3, developed by Bungie and release all the way back in 2007. Hard to believe it's been that long since the game came out, but we can't argue with a free copy of it (even if we already have two of them).
Microsoft is pushing downloadable content for their free titles which means they'd still like you to pay for things like extra levels. In Fable III's case, they're hocking the Traitor's Keep Quest Pack right on the Games with Gold page, saying "Extend your free game", though we couldn't think up more of a first-world problem if we tried. Boo hoo for us and our free games.
Head on over to Microsoft's Games with Gold page for details on your free copy of Fable III and all the details on how to keep getting free content!
