The marketing and advertising industry has faced radical changes in terms of both increased opportunities and threats as a result of the Internet. Millennials are the first generation to experience this transition first hand. Marketers are eagerly trying to figure out how to transform their marketing efforts effectively online and on which platforms and mediums they should establish a presence and configure digital marketing strategies accordingly.
Millennials (aged 18-34) are a unique demographic segment. Due to a combination of the group's massive size (outnumbering both generation X and Baby Boomers) and a purchasing power estimated at about $170 billion p/a they are perceived as one of the most valuable segments of the population. Companies that are able to connect, keep up with and establish mutually beneficial relationships with this generation will be able to maintain their loyalty as they age and become more prosperous.
Millennials are the most ethnically diverse generation yet. They aspire to live in urban environments as opposed to white-picket fence houses in the suburbs. They grew up in a tough economic climate, are highly educated, and are equipped with all the latest technology hardware. Due to their small paychecks, they appreciate a company this will give them some bang for their buck. Brands that are deal/discount focused in relation to millennials are likely to get their business. Millennials are inherently technologically adept, constantly connected via their mobile phones and social media; the majority sleeps with their phone and tweets from the bathroom.
They want to be communicated to in an authentic, individual manner and demand to be respected for their creativity and diversity. They support local goods and services, and from the goods they purchase to their interaction with companies, they put a premium on authenticity, scarcity and distinctiveness. They do not want to be stereotyped, their interests and priorities are eclectic and fragmented despite being better connected. Advertisers should engage in a two-way personalized conversation with them on social media.
Despite rumors, millennials still spend the majority of their social media minutes on Facebook. If brands are able to communicate to them using celebrity endorsements, event-sponsorships, social/community causes and/or discounts millennials will not only function as recipients of information, but provide input and become brand ambassadors. Millennials care about social issues and all though they are not financially stable enough to write checks to charities, philanthropy is important to them and they enjoy crowd-sourcing their philanthropy. They are more likely to spend more on products from companies that invest in social betterment.
My current findings show that certain areas must be addressed to better equip companies in what is expected to be an increasingly and exponentially shifting industry. Radical new opportunities and threats are expected to prevail in the course of the next 10-15 years. Industry experts suggest that we have yet to imagine what the world will look like.
As a result of these anticipated changes, the most fundamental concern is for a company to push their efforts to be open and improve their adaptability to the on-going change. The empowered consumer of today will only respond to a company that meets them where they are, whether that is on a smartphone, tablet, laptop, television or piece of wearable technology.
Research shows that television, billboards and print ads are still effective and perceived positively. However, with the most recent demographic trends taken into consideration it is likely that these mediums will have less footing in the coming years. Not only are these mediums less accurate in measurement and targeting, but their use and popularity are decreasing among the younger Millennials who have grown accustomed to controlling when, how and where they consume media.
It is vital to start thinking about the ultimate transition from traditional to modern marketing by implementing strategies that build brand awareness and image through online advertising as opposed to the current traditional call-to-action ads companies use in their online advertising today.
Creating cross-platform and multi-channel campaigns is proved as the most effective. It is important that websites and content are interchangeable to a multitude of platforms and that the brand establishes a consistent presence and strategy on the social media networks most popular among their target markets.
Millennials like to be engaged and want to feel important and listened to. They want the opportunity to interact and brands that are able to encourage consumer generated content are more likely to achieve the highly appealing viral-effect during a campaign. Simplicity is key and the call-to-action should be seamless. The new opportunities to engage millennials give marketers the ability to flexibly adjust their budgets for paid, earned and owned media. A popular and engaging campaign increases the likelihood for earned media and enhanced consumer impressions.
It is, however, important to always invest a certain amount in paid media and advertising. Facebook has stopped showing brands that do not advertise through their services in "fans" news feeds. Companies that invest in Google adwords drastically increase their likelihood of being discovered. These services allow you to manually decide budgets on a daily or monthly basis and the platforms will automatically generate the most effective advertising strategies. The same methodology applies to advertising on most other social networks. Choosing which one to invest in has to be carefully considered when looking at your consumer target and the platforms' demographic.
The traditional and intrusive banner-ads are no longer considered effective advertising. Aside from sponsored content, there are now a variety of different formats in which a company can improve their online presence. This includes lightbox ads, silent auto-playing video ads, youtube TrueView ads and interactive ads.
Technological advancements will continue to flourish, and there is no doubt that these will affect our marketing departments. Companies already need to prepare to step into a world of wearable technology like Google Glass and Smart Watches, and embrace the opportunities and minimize the threats that the development of 3D-printing may involve.
The keyword here is to internally prepare financially and strategically for ongoing change. It is impossible to determine the next ten years, just like it was impossible to imagine our current industry in the 90s.
Advertising on Google is very efficient. Investing in youtube ads, mobile ads, AdWords and SEO can make or break a new company. Easily accessible information, phone numbers, store locations, websites are fundamental within this spectrum. Creating a Google + profile will automatically provide searchers with any businesses information directly in the search results.
iBeacon is a new technology that will be implemented in the iPhone which will allow retailers to detect a consumer's location and send push notifications with promotions and information when they are located in close proximity. Technologies like these are likely to advance and may reap success if enabled early on. However, it is important for a brand to think quality over quantity when they advertise to Millennials. They are provoked by intrusive advertisements and are more likely to support brands that provide them with information that is complementary to their current task.
Content marketing is also a new form of advertising that is beneficial to pursue if the budget allows it. Millennials are more likely to invest in brands that provide them with useful information or engaging/excellent entertainment. It is no longer about advertising to them, but with them.
Brands that are rated highly popular among millennials, such as Google and Coca-Cola have created many different channels and content sites in which their brand name is a sponsor or curator. Their goal is to provide free and useful information/entertainment for the consumer's pleasure. The fact that the consumers are subliminally exposed to the brands logo helps build respect and familiarity with the brand.
The information overload that the Internet supports is a concern to advertisers who notice that their marketing efforts are increasingly ignored or filtered out. These filtering mechanisms will continue to grow. Therefore it is important that advertisements are creative, targeted, customer-oriented, engaging, welcoming and entertaining. Millennials are more likely to respond to funny, innovative or cause- oriented advertising.
Privacy concerns are a growing issue, and the growing popularity of apps like snapchat and whisper are evidence of this trend. However, research shows that consumers are more likely to give companies access to their information if the following marketing is seen as non-intrusive and relevant to their interests- all the while being secured that their information remains safe within the company.
Millennials value mutual trust and transparency. It is important that brands stay true to their promises and don't challenge their consumers trust. If this is the case, negative information can be spread virally and within seconds online.
Thus, utilizing sufficient social monitoring and measurement tools within the company can help marketers stay alert about what is being said about a company. Any company should invest in personnel that understands these technologies and are able to make sense of the data.
Millennials familiarity and upbringing with technology has allowed them to appreciate and effortlessly adapt to the accelerating level of innovation in our world. For a brand to remain relevant and tap into the millennial consumer market, enabling the same mindset is vital.
Change now and don't stretch it over five years; because the industry will likely have changed again. 65% of millennials own smartphones with data plans. According to eMarketer it is estimated that U.S. mobile ad spending this year will surge 75% to nearly $8 billion. For the time being, our priorities should be on adapting a strong mobile strategy, as this is the area in which we see the largest growth and opportunity in the coming years.

"Video Games Are A Waste Of Time" Says Married At First Sight Superfan – P1NG
Gamers are in a state of shock, as a reality TV fan has dissed their favourite hobby.
"Such a timekiller", florist Janice Ellen is alleged to have said to her sister Dr. Hayley Knight.
"What do you get out of games? I mean really? What is the artistic and cultural benefit of playing Nintendo Xboxes?"
Janice Ellen had spent the day binge-watching Married At First Sight, after running out of Real Housewives of Every Bloody City episodes on Foxtel. She asked her sister several times if she wanted to watch with her, but Hayley declined every request, choosing to spend her free time playing a video game. Janice was not impressed, and always found video games a waste of time.
"Our nephew spends all his time watching those Japanese cartoons with the weird intro songs, but at least it's helping him learn a new language."
"Although I don't think I've ever heard him say a single Japanese word."
Miss Ellen tried to convince our reporter that Married At First Sight taught her about herself.
"I now know that blind dates are just not for me, I mean look at these trainwrecks."
"But to be honest, I don't have time to find a partner, you know with The Voice, Masterchef…and do you know if Love Island is on right now? Because I definitely plan on watching it."
Dr Hayley Knight chose to ignore her sister, as today was her first day off in two weeks, and she just wanted to play a little bit of Red Dead Redemption 2.
"I reckon Janice would like this game actually, as like her, the characters have a lot of pointless conversations with those who probably don't want to listen.

Media ReleaseMinderoo Foundation01 Apr 2020
Minderoo Foundation announces up to $160 million to fight COVID-19
Minderoo Foundation has committed up to $160 million and joined forces with Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) to procure and distribute lifesaving medical supplies and equipment, and to ramp up accurate RNA-based COVID-19 testing by at least 20 times.

The first plane of critical medical supplies from the world's largest producer, China, is to depart from Shanghai today (Australian Western Standard Time). Minderoo Foundation has arranged the charter of the Airbus A330, operated by China Eastern, that will touch down in Perth after a 10-hour flight.
Aiming to resolve Australia's extreme shortage of PPE (personal protective equipment), two more flights are due to arrive on Friday and Saturday this week, together bringing more than 600 cubic meters weighing over 90 tonnes of medical supplies. This will include over 1 million N95 equivalent face masks, 400,000 surgical masks, 2.3 million medical-grade gloves, 100,000 nasal swabs, 200,000 medical coveralls, 10,000 medical goggles, 5,000 touch-less thermometers and over 33 ICU grade ventilators.
Minderoo Foundation Chairman Dr Andrew Forrest AO said FMG's deep and enduring relationships with China are unparalleled in Australia. This allowed Minderoo Foundation to supercharge procurement efforts, on behalf of and in collaboration with the Western Australian and Federal Governments.
"Unprecedented times cannot be met with a precedented response," Dr Forrest said. "The trusted relationships, procurement expertise and logistics knowledge of the FMG and Minderoo Foundation teams, have been fundamental in rapidly securing this vital equipment.
"Our nation is facing a threat not seen in our lifetimes.
"China's Ambassador to Australia, His Excellency Ambassador Cheng, and the Chinese people have been great mates to Australia. They are now doing all they can to help us in our hour of need. I thank the People's Republic of China for protecting our critical medical orders in the face of intense pressure from other nations. Without this, there would be no plane loads of equipment that we celebrate today for our first responders and suffering Australians."
Minderoo Foundation Co-chair Nicola Forrest AO said the equitable distribution of the supplies would be coordinated with WA Health across key stakeholders in primary and aged care, private and public hospital systems and other front-line services based on the areas of greatest need.
"We are working with the WA Government, the Australian Medical Association (AMA), WA's private hospitals, National COVID-19 Coordination Commission, National Incident Room and Aspen Medical to determine how we can best meet projected surges in demand for critical supplies," she said.
Dr Forrest said: "Our task has been to take the uncertainty and panic about the lack of sufficient medical equipment and COVID-19 testing out of the system. In collaboration with the Western Australian and Federal Governments, and the National COVID Coordination Commission, we will not stop until we achieve that. And we will never ever give up until we can look back on, and not be living through, this COVID-19 threat."
WA Health Minister Roger Cook thanked Minderoo Foundation and FMG for their "extraordinary support" in finding these "incredibly difficult to obtain supplies" for WA's broader health system, other stakeholders and frontline staff. Mr Cook confirmed that "rigorous quality control measures have been established to ensure all supplies meet required Australian safety and clinical standards."
"To allow this generous commitment to continue to scale, the WA Government will reimburse Minderoo Foundation at cost for the supplies purchased so that Minderoo Foundation can further leverage its incredible commitment of up to $160 million over the coming weeks and continue to source these critical medical supplies for Australia," Mr Cook said.
Minderoo Foundation's urgent response to the pandemic also involves rapidly scaling WA's capacity to undertake broad scale testing of the community. A detailed plan to scale the number of accurate RNA-based diagnostic COVID-19 tests being undertaken in Western Australia from 400 per day up to 10,000 has been prepared and will be implemented shortly. Minderoo Foundation is working with BGI Genomics, Clinipath Pathology, the Harry Perkins Institute, the AMA and WA Health in this effort.
Dr Forrest said: "Those countries that have radically scaled testing have contained the virus and avoided untold human and economic hardship. Those who didn't, have suffered badly. To fight this virus we too must quickly identify infected individuals in the community, trace their contacts and ensure isolation and containment. I am very grateful to our partners for their immense effort in making this happen with us."
The Minderoo Foundation COVID-19 Response is being led by senior executive Dr Steve Burnell, supported by the entire Minderoo Foundation and FMG teams, in particular the dedicated FMG team in China.
In a message to all Australians, Dr Forrest stressed the importance of following the latest guidance on social distancing and staying at home.
"Our decisions, I trust like yours, are being driven by love, family, community, care and compassion, and never fear." he said. "We all must protect our vulnerable just as we all protect our families. We are in this together, and it is together that we will defeat this virus."
by Minderoo Foundation
Established by Andrew and Nicola Forrest in 2001, we are a modern philanthropic organisation seeking to break down barriers, innovate and drive positive, lasting change. Minderoo Foundation is proudly Australian, with eight key initiatives spanning from ocean research and ending slavery, to collaboration in cancer and community projects.

US based NGO to help intensify support with PLWHA
Cape Coast, Oct. 11, GNA - A six-member team from 'Safe Haven Project Incorporated, an NGO based in the United States, committed to the campaign against HIV/AIDS.
The team will be spending six days in the Central Region to help intensify the campaign against the disease, with focus on the need to show compassion to people living with the disease. Led by its leader, Mr David Butler, will carry out the campaign in collaboration with 'Live and Let Live Foundation' an NGO based at Bawjiase in the region.
With leaders of communities in Cape Coast, including the seven Asafo companies, the team met on Tuesday, during which Reverend Edward Burks, a member of the team, who has been living with the disease for 23 years, shared his experience with them. Rev. Burks said stigmatisation of persons living with the disease, was initially a problem in his country, but people have come to accept the victims of the disease and were supporting them. The team is also scheduled to visit other communities and schools in the region, such as the Assin Manso, Swedru, Mfantsiman and Holy Child secondary schools, and Elmina.
Earlier, during a courtesy call on the Deputy Regional Co-ordinating Director, Mr Ben Asomani at the Regional Co-ordinating Council, Mr Ishmael Ogyefo, Regional Focal Person of HIV/AIDS briefed the team on the HIV/AIDS situation in the region. He said the region was making progress in the fight against the disease and that although the prevalence rate shot up from 2.6 in 2000 to 7.6 in 2003, the current rate was 4.0, and was hopeful it would reduce further, if the people adopted positive behavioural attitudes. Mr Ogyefo said currently, the RCC was coordinating the activities of 53 NGOs and 188 CBOs that were actively involved in the fight against the disease.

Phyno Clarifies Sickle Cell Disease Claims
Nigerian indigenous rapper, Chibuzor Nelson Azubuike, also known as Phyno has opened up on the viral claims that he is suffering from Sickle Cell Anaemia.
A fan identified as Ele Peter had in a tweet alleged that her love for the singer tripled when she found out that he had sickle cell. She wrote, "Since I heard Phyno has sickle cell the love tripled, I pray God grants him the strength to keep fighting."
Reacting to this claim, the rapper was forced to make a clarification in a tweet on Wednesday, January 11 2023.
He wrote, " Lol. No, I do not have sickle cell. Love to everyone fighting it though."
Meanwhile, it is worthy to note that the Anambra-native but Enugu-born music star has achieved major feats in Africa. Phyno is the founder and CEO of Penthauze Music, a Nigerian based record label, which he founded after leaving Sputnet Records, the record label where he started his career.
With age on his side, creative juices even flowing more and fans growing, Phyno has not threw in the towel as he urges fans to always look out for his signature raps across all music platforms.
The rapper also responded to a fan's tweet about a possible album this year as it seems that fans across the world are anticipating the rap god's new project to soothe their listening ears.

The methods I use when collecting insects are two. For larger specimens, I use glassine envelops and insert the specimen with the wings folded. For smaller specimens I use either glass or plastic vials. I like glass for moths because they seem to loose less scales prior to pinning (remember to wash out the vials occasionally to keep them clean). I try to have a cooler with me and put the specimens into the cooler as soon as I can and get the specimens cooled as this stops them from moving a lot. When I get home, I decide whether to pin immediately or the next morning. With butterflies, I like to pin right away as they tend to dry out quick. I put the specimens into the freezer for about an hour to kill them prior to pinning and/or spreading. With moths I usually put them into the refrigerator over night and then into the freezer in the morning.
Supplies for pinning specimens can be purchased from Bio-Quip ( www.bioquip.com ) or another supplier. The supplies include a spreading board ( spacing between depends on size of moth being spread), insect pins, straight pins, and some kind of paper like wax paper cut into strips. A pair of tweezers with wide tips (1/4 inch) are nice to pick up the moths.
Pinning boards can be made with 1 inch pink form or similar density and balsa wood from your local hobby shop. Try to get the wood that is for making wings of airplanes as this has an angle that works well to put a little dihedral into the wings. This will keep the wings above flat even if they droop a little after removal from the boards. Also take a straight pin and test the wood for softness. If you can't push the pin in easily, then you do not want it.
The spaces between the boards is determined by the body size of the moths or butterflies that you are pinning. The body should fit in the space with some movement but not a lot to keep it from moving while spreading the wings.
The following instructions are for pinning butterflies and moths. Other insects are similar except in most cases the wings are not spread. To start spreading your specimens, insert a pin into the center of the thorax perpendicular to the body of the insect.
Next complete the pin insertion by placing the top of the specimen 1/4 inch from the top of the pin.
Place the specimen into a spreading board, with the wings touching the wood.
Place a pin on both sides of the abdomen to keep the specimen from turning while spreading the wings.
Use a small pin to pull the forward wing till the aft side of the wing is at a 110 degree angle to the body. Shove the pin into the wood to keep it in place. Note that there is a hard vein running along the front of the wing. Place pin behind this vein to keep from tearing the wing.
Take a second pin and pull the hind wing forward till it is just under the front wing. Push pin into wood.
Perform same step on left wing as on right wing.
Apply paper to left wing.
Remove pins holding abdomen and allow specimen to dry for at least two weeks before removing. This will keep the wings from drooping.
This photo shows a specimen that has been pinned, spread on a board and left for a couple of weeks to dry. It is then removed and a label is attached showing where, when and who collected the specimen. With the database I use to track my specimens, it also adds a catalog number. After this the specimen is identified. The label should contain the following information: Country, State, County, Location by name (may only be able to give a close reference like a city), the GPS coordinates or township data from something like a Sportmans Atlas, who collected the specimen and the date.
The specimen is then put in the proper drawer. My moth specimens have been sorted by Hodges number. This is a number which was assigned to the species by Ronald Hodges in 1983. He assigned a number by taxonomic order for all Lepidoptera in North America, north of Mexico. It is useful in that you have some method of sorting species. Without the number, it would be in alphabetical order which doesn't follow any taxonomy method. While changes have made some of the numbers out of sequence by the new taxonomic data, it still provides an order.
The drawers are then placed in cabinets. The cabinets are in my basement which is normally dark and the temperature stays at about 60 degrees. Light and temperature will cause specimens to lose their colors. If keeping a collection, try to keep the specimens out of the light. Also put some kind of pest strip in the drawers to keep out bugs. There is a beetle (dermestid beetles known as carpet beetles and buffalo bugs), that can get into your drawers and will eat your specimens.


In the event the room does not have plenty of pure light, you might add extra lighting fittings into the room to allow it to look bigger or simply utilize increased wattage bulbs in your current fittings if at all possible. If you would rather learn how to make just a tiny room look larger, think smaller.
Luckily, there are a couple of simple and smart methods to make any space feel a bit more spacious. Small spaces do not have to feel claustrophobic. Just a tiny space does not mean you need to find cramped. De-clutter relentlessly in the event that you live in a tiny space. Just because you live in a tiny space it does not signify you have to genuinely feel crowded or cramped.
Just a tiny bedroom may gain from multifunction bits. For people who have a relatively compact bedroom, it may get very frustrating in relation to space.
Organize and reduction of things to make your room larger visually. You will find methods to create your small room seem larger. It is also going to create your small room look larger.

Q: Explain this UTF-8 detection regex This question asked how to detect UTF-8 strings - How to detect if have to apply utf8 decode or encode on a string?
The solution was this:
if (preg_match('!!u', $string))
{
   // this is utf-8
}
else
{
   // definitely not utf-8
}

I haven't been able to figure out how to breakdown the "!!u" expression. I clicked through all of PHP's PCRE stuff and might have missed the description for "!" marks and "u"-somethings. I tried running it through perl's YAPE::Regex::Explain (as seen in Please explain this Perl regular expression) and couldn't get something that made sense [I'm no perl expert - don't know if I fed it the right expression/string].
So... how exactly does preg_match('!!u', $string) work?

A: It's just an empty regular expression. ! is the delimiter and u is the modfier.
As for why it works, from PHP Manual's description of the u modifier (emphasis mine):

This modifier turns on additional functionality of PCRE that is incompatible with Perl. Pattern strings are treated as UTF-8. This modifier is available from PHP 4.1.0 or greater on Unix and from PHP 4.2.3 on win32. UTF-8 validity of the pattern is checked since PHP 4.3.5.

A: The ! is being used as the delimiter instead of /. I'll rewrite this for you, //u is the same thing. The u is a modifier that treats the pattern as utf8.


六合彩(英语:Mark Six)是香港唯一的合法彩票,亦是少數獲香港政府准許合法進行的賭博之一。但六合彩在中国大陆地区属违法行为。 香港政府規定未滿18歲人士,一律不得進行投。非香港居民亦可於香港境內投六合彩,但不可在境外投。 逢星期二、星期四以及非香港賽馬日的星期六或星期日舉行,如馬季結束或週末沒賽事逢週日舉行。如遇金多寶或巨額多寶,攪珠或會延遲舉行,如星期二及星期四舉行賽馬比賽,亦會延遲舉行。 港英政府為加強打擊民間的字花賭博,並且防止賭博資金流向黑社會等非法集團,從1975年起開售樂透式彩票多重彩,取代原先的馬票。當初負責開彩的是法定機構香港獎券管理局,由香港賽馬會代為受注,現已改由香港賽馬會以香港馬會獎券有限公司的名義接受投注及開彩。投注彩池除用作派彩外,餘額撥交社會福利署獎券基金用作慈善用途。最初的彩票是14選6,每週攪珠開彩。為迎合大眾「以小博大」的心理,1976年大幅增加中彩難度及派彩,改變開彩方法為36選6(及一個特別號碼),正式名為六合彩,並將開彩次數增加為每星期2次(最近更增加至每星期3次)。之後為維持派彩數額及增加中獎難度,曾多次增加選擇數目 六合彩目前每港幣10元,同時可購買港幣5元的「部份項」(即半)適用於「複式」及「拖」投。部分持有投户口的人,在早期仍是港幣2元及港幣4元一時,已設立長期購買指令,直至户口結存不足或客人指示停止為止,故會出現中獎數不是有0.5為單位。 Read all..

Make a splash with these luxurious backyard pools.
When it comes to pools, the concrete kidney-shape flanked by uncomfortable plastic patio furniture no longer cuts it. Homeowners today are decking out their pools with sound-activated dancing lights, the illusion of endless water, custom tiles, and more importantly, architectural lines to match the house.
Today's high-end pools can be fitted with all sorts of bells and whistles, such as integrated pool- and home-automation controls, water chemistry monitors, exotic landscaping, splashy waterfalls, even the same Vermont marble that lines Hearst Castle's Neptune Pool. The only limits, it seems, are your imagination (and pocketbook).

Q: Bash completion for cd alias I'm using the following function to list the directory contents after changing the current working directory:
function c() {
  cd $@;
  ls;
}

How can i enable bash directory name completion for the 'c' function so that it also works for directories in $CDPATH?

A: You can set the completion function of the command cd to the function c. First determine which completion function the cd command has assigned. In my case:
$ complete | grep " cd$"
complete -o nospace -F _cd cd

It's the function _cd, in my case _cd honours the $CDPATH variable. Now set your functions completion function:
$ complete -o nospace -F _cd c

Now, when typing c <tab><tab>, the same suggestions are made as when typing cd <tab><tab>
To make it permanent, write the command into your ~/.bashrc.

World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Q2 Earnings Top Estimates
July 30, 2020 — 08:50 pm EDT
Written by Zacks Equity Research for Zacks ->
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.45 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.15 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.11 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of 200%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this producer of professional wrestling events and television shows would post earnings of $0.28 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.41, delivering a surprise of 46.43%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates four times.
WWE, which belongs to the Zacks Film and Television Production and Distribution industry, posted revenues of $223.40 million for the quarter ended June 2020, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.40%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $268.90 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
WWE shares have lost about 31.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 0.9%.
What's Next for WWE?
While WWE has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for WWE was mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.34 on $228.03 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.11 on $984.99 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Film and Television Production and Distribution is currently in the bottom 15% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.

Are we still talking about all things hi-low? To be honest, I'm not really sure, but I do know that I found this handy little dress at Walmart and thought it would be the perfect addition to my summer wardrobe. That's right, I said Walmart. Every now and again I will stumble across something somewhat trendy and cute for less than $20 so I go for it!
This dress was no exception. I fell in love with the color and the hi-low style of this dress seemed to work just right for me.
For a more laid back casual look that I can wear to work and out on the weekends, I paired it with a white jean jacket, my Jack Rogers and one of my handy dandy bow bracelets.
What do you think? Do you ever find some of your favorite pieces at a bargain store? If so, which one?

Biden's Failure to Nominate Ambassador to Ukraine 'Borders on Diplomatic Malpractice'
Team Terrell
President Biden has failed on numerous foreign relations fronts, and the potential Russian invasion of Ukraine unearths yet another. "President Joe Biden's failure to nominate an ambassador to Ukraine more than a year into his presidency is raising concerns among U.S. officials and regional experts as Russia moves closer to launching a full-scale invasion," writes the Washington Free Beacon.
Republican Representative Mike Rogers of Alabama told the outlet, "President Biden has undermined the U.S.-Ukraine relationship by failing to even nominate an ambassador to Ukraine – it is a dereliction of duty and contributes to the instability we're seeing unfold today." Rogers is ranking member on the House Armed Services Committee.
Free Beacon notes that "without an ambassador, the Biden administration has conducted the majority of its diplomacy from Washington, D.C., causing confusion as the stand-off with Russia escalates."
For example, last week President Biden mentioned a "minor incursion" by Russia would likely be tolerated. In response, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted, "There are no minor incursions."
Brad Bowman, a former Senate defense adviser who serves as a senior director at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies' Center on Military and Political Power said "it is a horrible time for the United States to not have a Senate-confirmed ambassador in Kyiv."
"A year into the Biden administration, there is zero excuse for the White House's failure to nominate someone" added Bowman. "Deputy chiefs of mission can be incredibly effective, but there is simply no substitute for an ambassador…the Senate can be slow in confirming nominees, but you can't blame the Senate if you haven't even nominated someone. This borders on diplomatic malpractice by the Biden administration."

The greatest miracle … Merry Christmas!
The infinite and awesome creator of the cosmos took the form of his own creation and subjected himself to the laws of time and death, to save those who rebelled against him. God's voluntary subjection to the rebellious brutality of His creation demonstrates the degree to which God hates original sin – pride and conceit. He did not take the form of an invincible champion to subdue this treacherous and wicked world. He did not condescend in regal majesty to awe mankind. Although a tiny nation of chosen people anticipated his arrival, he did not arrive as a heralded conqueror.

Green Party candidates jump in race for Michigan governor, U.S. Senator

Two members of the Michigan Green Party have announced they're running for statewide office in 2018.
Anita Belle is seeking the Green Party's nomination for U.S. Senate. She would challenge incumbent Democrat Debbie Stabenow.
Belle is an elections-integrity and reparations activist from Detroit. She says the government needs to make majority-black cities like Detroit and Flint "whole" for their water crises.
In Flint, the city's drinking water was tainted with lead and other contaminants under a state-appointed emergency manager. In Detroit, it's a city policy of mass water shut-offs.
Belle says both Republicans and Democrats share responsibility for those crises.
"So for those two reasons, the people [Green Party] that have clean hands should be the ones that clean the water," Belle said, "because they have the clean hearts and the clean minds to make sure the people are made whole."
Belle said that after Detroit went through bankruptcy under a state-appointed emergency manager, "Detroiters really felt abandoned by the Democratic party." She says that after decades of loyally voting for Democrats, it might be time to "let go."
Belle says she'd also make legalizing marijuana a priority.
Jennifer Kurland hopes to be the Michigan Green Party's candidate for Governor in 2018.
Kurland is now President of the Redford Union School Board. She wants to strengthen the state's public school systems, especially Detroit Public Schools.
Kurland would also focus on rectifying the Flint water crisis, which she has researched in detail for a documentary. She says that debacle was the state government's fault.
"The state needs to make Flint whole," both in terms of money and infrastructure, Kurland said. "They knew before they switched Flint over to the Flint River that the water treatment plant could not properly treat water, and did nothing, and said nothing."
But as for larger issues with water infrastructure and what Kurland calls "local corruption," Kurland says both major parties share the blame. "I personally believe the Democratic Party is no longer viable and is a dead party," she said.
The Green Party will choose candidates for the 2018 ballot at its state convention next April.
Green Party VP hopeful in Detroit: Time to "break two-party monopoly"
By Sarah Cwiek • Oct 18, 2016
It's time to reject the "politics of fear," and embrace third-party alternatives in American politics.
That was the message Ajamu Baraka had for an audience at Detroit's Wayne State University on Tuesday.
Baraka, a longtime political activist who founded the U.S. Human Rights Network, is the Green Party candidate for vice president. He and running mate Jill Stein will appear on the ballot in 45 states, including Michigan.
Baraka says he and Stein represent an opportunity to "break the two-party monopoly" on government.
The Green Party comes to Michigan to offer an 'alternative'

While Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump may have taken up most of Detroit's attention on Saturday, another candidate was trying to shore up votes for Election Day.
Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein held a rally in the Eastern Marketplace with her running mate Ajamu Baraka. This was their first joint appearance since the Green Party convention in August.

Stateside's conversation with Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, Democratic candidate for governor.
Congressman Dan Kildee's decision to not seek the Democratic nomination for governor has changed the playing field for existing and potential candidates.
And that includes Dr. Abdul El-Sayed.

Stateside's conversation with Gretchen Whitmer, Democratic candidate for governor.
Flint Congressman Dan Kildee's decision to stay out of the Democratic race for Michigan's governor makes the field a little less crowded, but there's still competition for a spot on next year's ballot.
Last week, Stateside spoke with Democratic candidate Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, the former head of the Detroit Health Department.
Today, Gretchen Whitmer joined the show. Whitmer served for 14 years in the Michigan House and Senate, including four years as Senate Minority Leader. She was the interim prosecutor for Ingham County during the last half of 2016. She kicked off this year by announcing her run for governor in 2018.

While the Mercedes-AMG C 63 S sedan and wagon seat five, the coupe seats four in a 2+2 configuration. Rear room is squeezy for grown-ups, although the pay-off is a sleek two-door profile with a slightly wider body, wider track, and wider rubber.
The C 63 S is powered by the all-alloy, direct-injection, 4.0-litre (M177) twin-turbo V8, producing maximum torque of 700Nm from 2500rpm all the way to 5000, with peak power (375kW) taking over at 5500rpm and remaining at full force until 6250.
All models now feature the 'AMG Speedshift MCT 9G' auto transmission, replacing the previous seven-speed unit. It features a wet start-off clutch in place of a torque converter, for quicker shift response.

Final Salary Transfers Double Despite Watchdog Concerns
Final Salary Transfers have more than doubled in the year 2018/19 with around 200,000 people transferring their pension from their final salary scheme, also known as Defined Benefit Scheme.
According to new figures from The Pensions Regulator a record £34bn was transferred, up £20bn from the previous year.
This is despite concerns voiced by the Financial Conduct Authority, who published a survey last month of 3,015 advice firms in which it found 69% of people had been recommended to transfer. It also concluded that much of the advice it had seen was "still not of an acceptable standard"
Generally Unsuitable
Whilst the freedom of pensions has allowed people the option to move their pension pots, even the FCA now takes the view that final salary transfers are to be generally considered unsuitable for most clients.
Many people don't realise, or aren't made aware of the benefits they also give up that come with a final salary scheme, such as a fixed income throughout retirement.
And it's not just private sector workers hit by poor transfer advice – as we've reported before thousands of public sector worker's pensions such as Nurses, Teachers and our Armed Forces were also targeted to transfer, resulting in big losses to pension pots.
If you've been advised to transfer out of your Final Salary Scheme it might be worth checking to see if that advice was actually in your best interests. If not, you might be able to claim compensation for this poor advice.
You can contact us to arrange a free no obligation consultation. It's basically a quick chat to assess your circumstances and to see if we think you have a case to claim compensation. If you do, we will tell you how you can make the claim yourself or more about our service and how we can help you.
