jetBlue has a nice one-way to San Juan from New York and Boston. One date available from both cities – you can couple a roundtrip for about $180. If you are flexible, enjoy.
Puerto Rico is one of the regions with active cases of Zika virus transmission. Please read up on it at the Center for Disease Control if you are planning to go.
One Response to "jetBlue – $50 ONE WAY: New York / Boston – San Juan, Puerto Rico. ONE-WAY. Including all Taxes"
When people mention the zika virous it makes me think that they're susceptible to government propaganda. Just like all major illnesses they broadcast this will also fall out from media attention with no cure in a few weeks or months. But don't worry the media will surely find another way to instill fear into the hearts and minds of the masses. Don't fall for media blitz bs. We are more likely to get killed by a police officer than by zika. But they dont seem to be telling people to stay away from the deadly police.

CBS and Viacom to Combine
TechnologyCustomer Acquisition
By Business Wire	 On Aug 26, 2019
CBS Corp. and Viacom, two of the world's leading entertainment companies, announced they have entered into a definitive agreement to combine in an all-stock merger, creating a combined company with more than $28 billion in revenue.
The combined company, ViacomCBS Inc., will be a leading global, multiplatform, premium content company, with the assets, capabilities and scale to be one of the most important content producers and providers in the world. The combined company will be a scale player globally, with leadership positions in markets across the U.S., Europe, Latin America and Asia. This includes the largest television business in the U.S., with the highest share of broadcast and cable viewing across all key audience demographics, and strength in every key category, including News, Sports, General Entertainment, Pop Culture, Comedy, Music and Kids – making it a first-choice partner to distributors and advertisers. In addition, the combined company will possess a portfolio of fast-growing direct-to-consumer platforms, including both subscription and ad-supported offerings. It will also include a major Hollywood film studio, Paramount Pictures, which has been a producer and global distributor of filmed entertainment for more than a century and continues to be a global box office driver. Taken together, these distinct strengths will accelerate CBS and Viacom's ability to deliver an array of compelling content to important and diverse audiences across both traditional and emerging platforms around the world.

Bob Bakish, President and Chief Executive Officer, Viacom, will become President and Chief Executive Officer of the combined company. Bakish said: "Today marks an important day for CBS and Viacom, as we unite our complementary assets and capabilities and become one of only a few companies with the breadth and depth of content and reach to shape the future of our industry. Our unique ability to produce premium and popular content for global audiences at scale – for our own platforms and for our partners around the world – will enable us to maximize our business for today, while positioning us to lead for years to come. As we look to the future, I couldn't be more excited about the opportunities ahead for the combined company and all of our stakeholders – including consumers, the creative community, commercial partners, employees and, of course, our shareholders."
Joe Ianniello, President and Acting Chief Executive Officer, CBS, will become Chairman and CEO of CBS. Ianniello, who will oversee all CBS-branded assets in his new role, said: "This merger brings an exciting new set of opportunities to both companies. At CBS, we have outstanding momentum right now – creatively and operationally – and Viacom's portfolio will help accelerate that progress. I look forward to all we will do together as we build on our ongoing success. And personally, I am pleased to remain focused on CBS's top priority – continuing our transformation into a global, multiplatform, premium content company."
Shari Redstone, Vice Chair of the Boards of Directors, CBS and Viacom, said: "I am really excited to see these two great companies come together so that they can realize the incredible power of their combined assets. My father once said 'content is king,' and never has that been more true than today. Through CBS and Viacom's shared passion for premium content and innovation, we will establish a world-class, multiplatform media organization that is well-positioned for growth in a rapidly transforming industry. Led by a talented leadership team that is excited by the future, ViacomCBS's success will be underpinned by a commitment to strong values and a culture that empowers our exceptional people at all levels of the organization."
Strategic Rationale
Premium content at scale. The combined company will possess a portfolio of powerful consumer brands, including CBS, Showtime, Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, Comedy Central and Paramount Network, as well as one of the largest libraries of iconic intellectual property, spanning every key genre and addressing consumers of all ages and demographics. This library comprises 140,000+ TV episodes and 3,600+ film titles, and reunites fan-favorite franchises such as Star Trek and Mission: Impossible. The combined company will also have more than 750 series currently ordered to or in production. In addition, it will include a major Hollywood film studio, Paramount Pictures, which creates and distributes feature-length entertainment around the world. The combined company will also be one of the largest content spenders, with more than $13 billion spent in the last 12 months.
Global leadership positions. The combined company will be a broadcast and cable leader in key markets around the world, reaching more than 4.3 billion cumulative TV subscribers. In the U.S., the combined company's portfolio of broadcast, premium and cable networks will have the highest share of viewing on television among key audiences, including Kids, African Americans and Hispanic viewers. In addition, the combined company will operate strong broadcast networks in the UK, Argentina and Australia, as well as pay-TV networks across more than 180 countries. It will also have significant global production capabilities across five continents – creating content in 45 languages.
Powerful, three-part strategy for growth. In a quickly evolving media landscape, the combined company will benefit from its distinct competitive position as one of the most important global content providers – for its own platforms as well as for third parties. This will enable the combined company to accelerate the growth of its direct-to-consumer strategy, enhance distribution and advertising opportunities and create a leading producer and licensor of premium content to third-party platforms globally.
Accelerate direct-to-consumer strategy. Together, the combined company will be positioned to accelerate and expand its direct-to-consumer strategy through its proven and diverse portfolio of both subscription and ad-supported offerings. These include CBS All Access and Showtime, which deliver premium, branded content live and on demand to millions of subscribers; Pluto TV, the leading free streaming TV service in the U.S.; and niche products such as CBSN, ET Live and Noggin. It also has an opportunity to expand globally by leveraging its existing strength in both subscription and ad-supported offerings, combined library, content production capabilities and international infrastructure.
Enhance distribution and advertising opportunities. The breadth and depth of the combined company's reach across both traditional and new platforms – including 22% of U.S. TV viewership – will drive important new distribution and advertising opportunities. For distributors, this includes forming more expansive and multifaceted relationships, and applying the benefit of retransmission consent across a combined portfolio. For advertisers and agencies, the combined company will provide industry-leading reach through a variety of formats, including a portfolio of differentiated advanced advertising and marketing solutions, such as CBS Interactive, Viacom Vantage and Viacom Velocity, which will be applied against significant, expanded inventory across the portfolio.
Create a leading producer and licensor of premium content to third-party platforms globally. As one of the biggest premium content providers in the world, the combined company is positioned to deliver content to a diverse global customer base that includes MVPDs, broadcast and cable networks, subscription and ad-supported streaming services, mobile providers and social platforms. Notably, in addition to content licensing, CBS and Viacom are developing must-watch programming for a broad range of third-party networks and platforms to feed significant demand for original, premium content.
Significant value for all shareholders. The combined company will have an attractive growth outlook and increased financial scale with substantial free cash flow, which will enable significant and sustained investment in programming and innovation, as well as support the combined company's commitment to maintaining a modest dividend payment. The transaction will be EPS accretive and is expected to deliver an estimated $500 million in annualized run-rate synergies within 12-24 months following closing, with additional strategic benefits. With one of the strongest balance sheets in the industry, the combined company will benefit from a solid investment grade rating.

Leadership, Governance and Transaction Terms
In addition to Bakish and Ianniello, the leadership team of the combined company will include Christina Spade as EVP and Chief Financial Officer; and Christa D'Alimonte as EVP, General Counsel and Secretary.
The Board of Directors will consist of 13 members: six independent members from CBS, four independent members from Viacom, the President and CEO of ViacomCBS and two National Amusements, Inc. (NAI) designees. Shari Redstone will be appointed Chair.
The merger agreement was approved by the Boards of Directors of both CBS and Viacom by unanimous vote of those present, upon the unanimous recommendations of the Special Committees of the CBS and Viacom Boards of Directors, respectively. Existing CBS shareholders will own approximately 61% of the combined company and existing Viacom shareholders will own approximately 39% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis. Under the terms of the merger agreement, each Viacom Class A voting share and Viacom Class B non-voting share will convert into 0.59625 of a Class A voting share and Class B non-voting share of CBS, respectively.
NAI, which holds approximately 78.9% and 79.8% of the Class A voting shares of CBS and Viacom, respectively, has agreed to deliver consents sufficient to assure approval of the transaction. More than two-thirds of the CBS directors unaffiliated with NAI (and all of those unaffiliated directors who voted on the transaction) have approved the transaction, as required in order to permit NAI to consent to the transaction under the terms of the 2018 settlement agreement entered into among CBS, NAI and certain other parties thereto.
The transaction is subject to regulatory approvals and other customary closing conditions. It is expected to close by the 2019 calendar year end.
The Special Committee of CBS's Board of Directors is being advised by Centerview Partners LLC and Lazard Frères & Co. LLC as its financial advisors and by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP as its legal counsel. The Special Committee of Viacom's Board of Directors is being advised by LionTree Advisors LLC and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC as its financial advisors and by Cravath, Swaine & Moore LLP as its legal counsel. Viacom is being advised by Shearman & Sterling LLP. NAI is being advised by Evercore as its financial advisor and by Cleary Gottlieb Steen & Hamilton LLP as its legal counsel.

The CMBA profiles two classic movie blogs per month. Today we're featuring Amanda from Old Hollywood Films.
Amanda at Old Hollywood Films brings a clear-eyed, journalistic approach to classic film.
Like any good journalist, Amanda concentrates on the important or most interesting aspects of a film she's reviewing. Her posts are lively and informative.
In addition to film reviews, she presents a weekly TCM Viewer's Guide that includes celebrity birthdays, TCM daily highlights, and a helpful feature entitled "Best Day to DVR".
Old Hollywood Films provides historical context with film reviews, which reflects Amanda's interest in history. One example is The Grapes of Wrath (1940).
"I think this film is a good illustration of films depicting history (in this case the Great Depression)," she says. In her review she notes, "[N]o one experienced more misery than those Americans who survived the Dust Bowl, which was one of the worst environmental disasters in American history."
Celebrate National Classic Movie Day with the Five Stars Blogathon!
For the third consecutive year, the Classic Film & TV Café will celebrate National Classic Movie Day on May 16th by hosting a blogathon. This year, it will shine the spotlight on those actors and actresses that made the Golden Days of Hollywood glitter brightly.
The Five Stars Blogathon invites bloggers to list their five favorite movie stars and explain why you love them. It's that simple.
If you want to participate, click here for more information and leave a comment with your blog's name and URL.
You can also just send the information to: rick@classicfilmtvcafe.com.
The CMBA profiles two classic movie blogs per month. Today we're featuring Cameron from The Blonde at the Film.
Cameron from The Blonde at the Film is like a gemologist who examines precious stones and determines their worth.
Her site evaluates a film and, much like a jeweler, places it in a setting to show us its unique characteristics.
Cameron provides an impressive amount of research, which helps readers see why so many classic films are noteworthy. Her research also highlights social conventions that reflect the times in which these films were made.
She's enthusiastic about classic Hollywood films and actors, especially when it comes to Esther Williams.
"With classic films," she says, "context is key, and this is especially true with a star like Esther Williams who was so 'of her time' and whose movies can seem dated and only 'classic' in the academic sense (though I disagree, of course!). I tried to make Williams and her movies more accessible and relevant by showing what a talented athlete she was and that it wasn't so crazy for MGM to come calling."

Queen Margrethe engagement ring: The sweet tribute behind unusual royal ring
British Vogue's jewellery and watch director, Rachel Garrahan, said: "What could be more romantic than a toi et moi ring, where two stones meet to symbolise the union of two lovers?
"Dating back centuries, the style became famous in 1796, when Napoleon Bonaparte proposed to Josephine de Beauharnais with one."
Ms Garrahan added that although the rings traditionally "feature two different stones in matching sizes and cuts", contrasting designs are also popular now.
At the time of their engagement in 1967, Margrethe was still a Princess and Henri de Laborde de Monpezat, later Prince Henrik, was a French diplomat.
Henrik purchased the ring from renowned French jewellery house, Van Cleef & Arpels.

Q: RSpec mocking module function of controller So I'm very new to Rails and struggling a bit with RSpec, specifically mocking certain things.  So I have a module (concern) that a few of my controllers are using.  That module (ValidateAdmin) calls two other functions within, current_user and logged_in_user.  To cover the most possibilities, I wanted to stub both those functions and set their return value.  Any suggestions on how to make this work?
describe ValidateAdmin do
  before :all do
    class FakeController < ApplicationController
      include ValidateAdmin
    end
  end

let(:controller) { FakeController.new }

describe '#validate_admin_logged_in' do
  controller.stub(:current_user).and_return(instance_double(User, admin?: true))
  controller.stub(:logged_in_user).and_return(instance_double(User, admin?: true))
  [RSpec contexts go here]

Edit - Fixed it by containing my mocking statements inside a 'before' block.  Also just realized stub is deprecated so switched to allow statements.

A: The controller instance can be stubbed like any other object. You may also need to add the route:
describe FakeController, type: :controller do
  let(:admin_user) { instance_double(User, admin?: true) }

  it "performs my excellent test" do
    allow(controller).to receive(:current_user).and_return(admin_user)
    routes.draw { get "custom_action" => "fake#custom_action" }
    get :custom_action
  end
end

let(:controller) is uneccessary -- RSpec does that for you. Also, the test class does not need to go into a before block -- it can simply be defined at the top of the file, or require-d.

Wondering what to get your lady for a special occasion?
Nothing says I love you like a good quality firearm but, will she like it and will she be comfortable enough to use or carry it? It has been my experience that when a man buys a woman a gun, without her input, she rarely likes it and even more rarely shoots it. I have seen this time and time again and if you have seen or experienced it, you know what I am talking about. I mean, you bought the best 45 cal. 1911 on the market, why does she not want to carry it around all day like you do?
Well here are some of the problems. You bought the gun for you, not her. It fits your hands and most likely is closer to fitting your shooting ability than hers. She may not be able to effectively handle the weight, the size and the amount of recoil at this stage of her shooting proficiency. Your gun, you bought for her, may be uncomfortable for her to carry around and, just plain and simple, not practical for her or her purse. Some estimates say that shooting proficiency is 90% mental and if this is true, then what is her shooting proficiency when she hates shooting, or worse when she is scared? She definitely needs to be involved in the picking process. She knows what fits her hands so, go to the gun case and get all of them out. See what fits best and go from there. If she is new to shooting, then start out the first purchase with a 22 cal. semi auto pistol. Don't say you already have one, it is not hers. Ownership is the point. It is hers, she shoots "better" with her gun. This is the first step to setting up that 90% mental proficiency.
The 22 cal. semi auto pistol is easy to control and rather inexpensive to shoot when compared to other calibers. Often 22 cal. semi auto pistols will be light weight, the recoil from the shot will be easy to manage and the sound will not be so loud and shocking to the ears. Start out with the target close, the 3 yrd. line is perfect. Here the target can easily be hit, and with some basic marksmanship skills training, the target will quickly be moved back for more of a challenge. As her confidence increases, slowly introduce larger calibers and repeat the process each time before moving up in caliber.
It might be more beneficial for you to purchase training classes for her and one of her friends. Anxiety and fear can be easier to overcome when a friend is there to experience the process. If she likes to shoot then that means she will like shopping for guns. If she likes them then she may buy one for you and that will be your gun. Don't get mad if she out shoots you, you can always save face by saying, "a gentleman always lets a lady win", that's what I do!

#BookBlitz "Malory's Quest" by Helen Lewis
March 16, 2022 March 14, 2022 ~ Felicia Denise
Publisher: Austin MacCauley
March 1471, Rogue Malory is dead. His friends, the Newgate Three, set out to fulfil their promise to him to deliver the finished manuscript of Le Morte D'Arthur to the friars of Winchester. But national events intrude and the three find themselves cast out from England. Advised by their old friend, Sir Anthony Tanner, and his betrothed, Margaret Limpsett, they set out to Bruges in Flanders where they seek advice on how to proceed to protect the manuscript. New characters are introduced, including William Caxton who becomes integral to their lives. Previous friends – and
enemies – reappear and play their parts. But not all is well. At the end, there is a shocking discovery. Will the quest be fulfilled?
'Malory's Quest' is an historical novel set in 15th century England at the time of the fractious struggle for the throne. It is the second in the 'Malory Trilogy' and continues where 'Rogue Malory' ended. Accurately researched, it contains a host of lively fictional characters, as well as major players in the labyrinthine politics of the era. The manuscript,
written in Newgate Jail, is entrusted to the care of his three greatest friends, who pledge themselves to fulfil his dying wish that they take it to Winchester Priory. Their journey diverts considerably, carrying them to France and Bruges, where they meet William Caxton, a pioneer of printing who becomes an integral character in this and the final book. The trilogy takes a fictional look at how the manuscript disappeared for fifteen years before it was eventually published by Caxton in 1485. The final part: 'Malory's Grail' is in production and due out next year.
Also from Helen Lewis:
London, 1469. Rogue Malory sets out to show how, 'comfortably imprisoned' in Newgate Jail, Sir Thomas Malory works on his magnum opus, Le Morte D'Arthur, with the help of his scribe, Montmorency Pickle, his servant, John Appleby, and his stationer, Jack Worms. The story is an imagined account of the preparation of the famous manuscript, the true
revelations of Sir Tom's disreputable past and the factual events covering the final two years of the ongoing tussle for the crown between the Earl of Warwick and King Edward IV. A combination of real and imaginary events brings to life this arresting period of history.
Reluctantly, Monty and Jack become embroiled in Malory's political machinations whilst also contending with his dissolute yet magnetic character. Whores, pimps, spies and officials pass in and out of Sir Tom's cell, where he sits at its centre like a hilarious old spider weaving mischief.
Writing under her maiden name, Helen Lewis began writing novels after retiring from a career in education. She has previously published two novels
of a trilogy set in Victorian England, but she has always been drawn to the fifteenth century. She has a PhD from Birmingham University; her thesis:
Warwick the Kingmaker in Shakespeare's 'Henry VI'. Later she wrote a quartet of novels on Warwick's life – Lodestar – and it was while researching them that she came across the lively character Sir Thomas Malory.

Step by step instructions (and troubleshooting guide) for syncing Lodgix guests, invoices, items, payment methods and payments with QuickBooks Online.
The credentials will be the same login used to access QuickBooks Online. Note the security warning can be ignored. This is only present because we are choosing not to participate in the Intuit App Center at this time.
For those of you that have more than one company file associated with your QuickBooks online account, you will be prompted to ask which company file you want to link to your Lodgix.com account.
Look for the Congratulations! banner in the upper right corner of the screen. A new blue Intuit menu will now always be visible from all pages while logged into Lodgix.
WAIT!! Before hitting the Synchronize button, make sure to click on Account Mappings tab to map your accounts. More on Account Mapping in the next step.
The Sync date refers to theinvoice arrival date. So setting the sync date to December 1, 2016, will sync all invoices with an arrival date on and after that date.
Any pre-payments (i.e deposits) show up as payments against those invoices.
The sync brings in invoices and payments, but it still requires you to manually batch deposits. The sync success log shows you which payments have successfully come over.
Lodgix will pull the chart of accounts from QuickBooks Online and ask you to map the line items from Lodgix invoices to your QuickBooks accounts.
Please note that if you decide to add new accounts to QuickBooks after the initial Chart of Accounts has been imported into Lodgix, simple add the accounts into QBooks and then return to Lodgix and refresh the account mappings (CTRL-F5) this will force the Chart of Accounts to be imported again and your new accounts should then show as available mapping options.
INCORRECT ACCOUNT MAPPINGS ARE A VERY COMMON SOURCE OF SYNC ERRORS! PLEASE WORK WITH YOUR ACCOUNTANT AND / OR BOOKKEEPER TO ASSURE THAT ACCOUNTS ARE MAPPED CORRECTLY.
The items on the left are Lodgix invoice line items that need to mapped to accounts in your QuickBooks chart of accounts.
Insurance. Even if you do not offer damage or travel insurance, the account still needs to be mapped. Insurance premiums should be mapped to a revenue account.... later when Lodgix bills for the premium amount, that would a manual entry on the expense side of that transaction.
Other Deposits (aka Security Deposits, Damage Deposits). Even if you do not require security or damage deposits, the account still needs to be mapped to a current liability account.
Review the error log closely, invoice line items cannot be mapped to accounts of certain types (such as A/R or A/P). If mapped incorrectly errors similar to below will show in the error log.
Error: Other Deposits - Invalid account type: You can't associate a product or service with accounts of certain types (such as Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable). If the product or service is something you sell, use an income account. If the the product or service is something you buy, use an expense account.
Simply update the account mapping to a different account and resync.
The Chart of Accounts tab will show the chart of accounts that was imported from QuickBooks.
Note: There is an optional setting in QBOE to display account numbers. Read this for instructions.
Make sure to read the next step on Enabling Class Tracking for QuickBooks Online as it goes into detail about the options on this tab. If no classes are populated here, it means that class tracking for QuickBooks Online is either not enabled or no classes have been created within QuickBooks Online.
The class tracking tab will not be shown if class tracking is not enabled within QuickBooks Online AND at least one class needs to be defined within QuickBooks Online. If class tracking (and at least one class) is enabled after the initial sync, simply refresh the page within Lodgix and Lodgix will detect that class tracking has been enabled and the class tracking setup tab will appear.
You must enable this feature within your company settings at QuickBooks Online (see screen shot above).
Note: The recommended setting when class tracking is enabled is to track classes "one per detail line" rather than tracking classes "one per transaction". Lodgix supports invoices that can contain multiple properties, and if each property is assigned to a different class, Lodgix will only sync that invoice if class tracking is done "per detail line". If class tracking is done "per transaction" the entire invoice would have to be assigned to the same class.
Lodgix DOES NOT SYNC INVOICES FOR RESERVATIONS THAT ARE YET TO OCCUR. Lodgix will only sync invoices for reservations that are in the past in which the guest has already departed. This was done on purpose as the sync tool is meant to aid primarily in data entry. Invoices that are in the future are subject to change, deletion, cancellation, editing, etc. Coding a true sync with invoice updating requires significantly more resources and complexity.
Initial Sync Date. Choose this date carefully. Lodgix needs to know from what date to begin syncing invoices. This date is keyed off the arrival date within the invoice. If you've already manually entered guest invoices in QuickBooks, you don't want Lodgix to add those invoices all over again and clutter up your QuickBooks with duplicate invoices. Lodgix will autofill a 1/1/2013 date, but data prior to that can be obtained simply by entering an earlier date. THERE IS NO ABILITY TO CHOOSE A DATE FROM WHICH TO START THE SYNC AFTER THE INITIAL SYNC IS COMPLETE.
Synchronize. Pressing this button begins the sync process.
We highly advise that the QuickBooks sync only be initiated by an experienced professional. We are doing our best to provide an intuitive interface and this user manual to help assure that the sync goes smoothly. However, only a QuickBooks Professional will know for sure which accounts are the correct accounts for your company file when setting up the mapping.

Why it matters: Consumers are spending increasingly more time on an expanded range of diverse digital activities. It is undisputed that internet accessibility, mobile technology and digital innovations are redefining consumers' every interaction and will continue to enable and disrupt many aspects of consumers' lifestyles well into the future.
This is the digital era, and as such, we are now living a connected life. That's the idea that Nielsen has proved with a global survey sent to 30,000 online consumers in 64 countries. The Nielsen Connected Commerce report provides insights into the global connected consumer, shopping traits, category evolution, and barriers, in order to identify future growth prospects.
According to Nielsen, 4 billion people (53% of the global population) are connected to the internet, and nearly all of them (92.6%) connect using their mobile devices. 85% of users (3.4 billion) connect to the internet and spend, on average, six and a half hours online. Consumers get online more often, and they stay connected for longer. It shouldn't surprise us, then, that the range of activities that can be done online has increased. "Internet accessibility, mobile technology, and digital innovations are redefining consumers' every interaction and will continue to enable and disrupt many aspects of consumers' lifestyles well into the future," declares the report.
Development in retailing has quickly become greater in scope than either the physical or virtual store, and now manufacturers and retailers need to create strategic advantages across channels, touchpoints, and experiences along the purchase journey. Connectivity is laying the foundation for e-commerce growth; it is vital for companies to learn consumers' online behavior and habits, adoption drivers, tipping points and challenges.
Connectivity's importance comes from the advantages it has brought upon our lives; it has permitted to do all sorts of things without leaving our homes, from talking to our friends on the other side of the world to receiving just about anything we need at our doorstep, right when we need it. As the report explains, at no point in time could this be more apt than now, considering the merging of multiple factors impacting the complexity of consumers' lives—and shaping new found shopping experiences. In general, brands need to take three things into account: people now lead busy urban lives and need quicker, easier ways to perform their shopping activities; retail is expanding into new avenues and channels; and we must take into account a whole new generation of native digital shoppers who are used to using these devices and services naturally every day.
The report shows that global online sales in 2017 totaled US $2.3 trillion2 or 10.2% of total retail sales and is expected to reach 17.5% by 2021. In 2019, online retail trailblazer, Amazon, will turn 25 years old. With continued technological innovation e-commerce growth is set to outpace traditional formats for years to come. As the report states, "The combination of existing connected consumers spending more, more often, and newly connected consumers purchasing for the first time will proper e-commerce growth".
Travel, entertainment (books, music, events) and durable goods (fashion, IT/mobile, electronics) are traditionally the leading categories for consumers to enter the online retail sphere around the world. After two decades of e-commerce, these categories have higher online purchasing penetration and frequency of purchasing than most consumer goods categories.
The consumer is at the center of the connected commerce opportunity. An e-commerce approach that delivers on the various and varied local consumer preferences and circumstances will have a competitive advantage, but those who solve consumers' convenience aspirations will win.
However, consumers are looking for a wider range of e-commerce options. With a myriad of services, suppliers, products, and prices to choose from at simpler, more trustful websites, consumers now want to complete transactions online more often. This means a significant opportunity for FMCG categories, which need to be replenished periodically and take up a sizeable portion of consumers' time to shop in physical stores.
According to the survey results, 17% of consumers are purchasing FMCG products online on a regular basis, while 11% have previously purchased online, but not recently. In addition, 30% of consumers are not currently buying groceries online but are willing to consider doing so in the near future. In developing markets this intent is just as important, with 29% of African and Middle Eastern consumers and 42% of Latin American consumers open to online purchasing.
Consumers usually go online looking for information, to compare products and prices before actually buying something. Digital media assets are becoming a vital part of building awareness and consideration, satisfying shoppers' search needs and delivering tangible links to generate purchase outcomes. As we could expect, it's all about providing a differentiating experience: as e-commerce continues to evolve there are numerous areas to improve consumers' overall online experience that will encourage trial and steer conversion to online. With convenience as one of the primary motivators for connected commerce, shoppers are looking for a frictionless experience which saves time, reduces obstacles and provides an enjoyable experience.
Retailers can further solve consumers' apprehensions via interactive services and guarantees. Same day replacement, free delivery for high-value orders, responsiveness and money back for incorrect orders feature highly to encourage online purchases of consumable products.
In the words of Sue Temple, VP, Global Consumer Insights Product Leadership, Nielsen, "The consumer is at the center of the connected commerce opportunity. An e-commerce approach that delivers on the various and varied local consumer preferences and circumstances will have a competitive advantage, but those who solve consumers' convenience aspirations will win."


Hygrometers - The 6102 therma-hygrometers are easy to use hygrometers, or relative humidity and air temperature measuring meters. The units measure %rh over the range of 0 to 100%rh with a resolution of 0.1 %rh and temperature over the range of -20 to 70°C with a resolution of 0.1°C/°F.
These humidity meters incorporate a clear custom LCD with °C, %rh, max/min, hold and dew point indication. There is an automatic display of both open circuit and low battery. These units display humidity and temperature simultaneously and additionally incorporate a backlit display.
The units are powered by three 1.5 volt AAA batteries with a minimum life expectancy of up to 10000 hours. An auto power off facility turns the therma-hygrometer off automatically after 10 minutes, maximising battery life.
The 6102 therma-hygrometers utilise an interchangeable probe that incorporates a one-metre lead with a 6-pin Lumberg connector. If the probe needs to be replaced, the instrument will not require recalibration as the probes are fully interchangeable.


As a student, cleaning is not always your number one priority! These cleaning tips will make cleaning easy, effective, and cheap.
Create a cleaning rota to share out the chores equally.
Rotate chores weekly – no one wants to be solely responsible for the smelliest jobs like taking the bins out!
Don't leave stains to linger – wipe up spills as soon as they happen. The same goes for if you spill something down your clothes – tackling the stain quickly will help you out when doing your own laundry. Check out our handy stain removal guide for tips.
Are you fully housetrained? Are your friends? Shared accommodation is where you'll find out! Moving into student digs is always going to be a bit of adventure, but the reality of living full time with your best mates can be trickier than you might expect. Friends you thought would be tidy might turn out not to be, and some housemates just never seem to be home! So how can you avoid drama when it comes to keeping communal areas livable? Here are our top cleaning tips, specifically for students.
Crusted on food, limescale, mould – or goodness knows what other substances – will take you longer to get off surfaces if they have been left for days. Being quick to mop up messes, and consistent about doing a general once-over clean, will honestly help you save time in the long run.
There are some things you can do to help automate certain elements of the cleaning process – like using toilet blocks (that release cleaning agents into the bowl every time the toilet is flushed), aerosols that release fragrance automatically to neutralise nasty odours, or soaking stains before they set.
Keep cleaning products and equipment in easy-to-access places, rather than hiding them away – this might help you and your flat mates remember to wipe surfaces, or around basins and baths more regularly. Then no one can say they 'couldn't find' anything to clean a spill up with!
The best way to avoid conflict over cleaning duties is to create a rota and stick it up somewhere for everyone to see. You could also share it electronically, using a service like Google Drive or Dropbox.
Decide that everyone is individually responsible for the upkeep of their own room and any other storage areas that might be individually designated.
Make a list of all the tasks that need to be done to keep communal areas (the kitchen, bathroom, lounge, and hallways) clean.
Instead of filling your rota with general tasks like 'clean the kitchen'; break chores into smaller parts like: 'wash the kitchen floor', or 'clean the fridge' – that way cleaning doesn't seem so daunting!
Forget about designating tasks to specific days – no one wants to be held to account for not vacuuming the hallways on Tuesday, if there was an essay deadline that day! Instead, rotate responsibilities on a weekly basis.
Remember to find out the days the bins are collected and mark this on the rota. The person responsible for taking out the rubbish will have to do their task on a specific day.
The bathroom. Keep clutter to a minimum: ask everyone to keep toiletries in their rooms, or find ways (cupboards or hanging baskets and pockets) to keep surfaces free from bottles and jars. This way, there will be fewer places for dirt to build up and surfaces will be easier to clean.
The toilet. Encourage everyone to use the toilet brush – it's there for a reason! Use a toilet cleaning product like Domestos Extended Germ-Kill Bleach to clean the toilet bowl – and remember to be regimental with cleaning the floor around the toilet, otherwise it'll rapidly become the most disgusting area in the whole house.
Kitchen surfaces. Encourage everyone to keep food and crockery in their own cupboards and not out on the surfaces to make cleaning easier.
Washing up. Don't let dirty dishes pile up – it's annoying for others and smelly. Soak dishes in warm water with a dishwashing soap like Persil Washing Up Liquid to make cleaning easier, but don't leave them too long or the water will go slimy!
The fridge. Make it a rule that whoever is responsible for cleaning out the fridge has an unreserved right to chuck out anything mouldy or rotten for the sake of hygiene.
The oven. Don't skip this task, though you only really need to do it once a month. The same goes for the microwave – just be sure to mop up spills as soon as they happen.
The washing machine. Don't leave washing in the machine to get mouldy. You'll annoy your friends and could actually damage the machine. Keep a laundry basket next to the machine and make it a house rule to unload any washed laundry as soon as the cycle has finished.
Rubbish. If possible, keep bins near the front door, so you're more likely to empty them when you're heading out.
Vacuuming: Think about doing a quick whip round the flat or common areas every time you clean your own room.
Remember that everyone has different cleaning standards. Generally, over the course of a month the outcome of your efforts should be a relatively clean space that everyone is happy to live in. If it seems as if someone is not pulling their weight – whatever you do – don't resort to note-leaving! Things usually rapidly escalate into an ugly spat. Communicate directly with your housemate, even if you're not a fan of confrontation.
And if keeping the house clean continues to be a struggle consider clubbing together to get a cleaner to do the basics once a week. Your time will be better spent studying (and partying) than fighting about the cleaning with people who you consider friends.
Clean Your House Fast: 5 Cheats for Hiding Mess!
Piggy Bank a Little Light? Try these Ingenious Budgeting Hacks!
The easiest way to make sure that your shared flat or uni accommodation stays clean is by having a cleaning schedule for bigger tasks, and also making sure to clean up any spills or marks as soon as they happen! Having a supply of cleaning products from Cif, Domestos, and Persil on hand makes it easy to tackle almost any problem.

What matters most when hiring an attorney?
What matters most when hiring an attorney? Many would say the most important thing is to hire an attorney who has a reputation for winning. This is an important factor to consider, I agree. And to some, this is all that matters. But what else matters?
Imagine how you would feel if this happened to you. You are charged with a criminal offense. But you've hired a lawyer and hope he will protect you, guide you through the process. You arrive to court on time, but your attorney barely talks to you. The courtroom can be a scary place, especially if it is your first time. But your lawyer shows more interest in talking to his lawyer friends about flying a private jet around the country and he even complains about some of the clients he has. He talked a great game until he received his retainer. After that, he never seemed to have time to return your calls.
You hire an attorney to defend you, to safegaurd your rights and freedom. Some would say you hire an attorney to make you feel safe.
When I became a lawyer, I swore I would never be one of those guys my clients feel like they can't trust.
Some lawyers sit around with other attorneys in courtrooms and openly exchange stories about some of their clients while waiting for their case to be called. It's a practice that is disrespectful and unprofessional. I imagine everyone that happens to be within earshot may feel the same.
A courtroom is a place where one's fate is decided; maybe not today, but at some point. For attorneys to sit around and chit-chat with other attorneys about their clients in a disrespectful manner, or to ignore the one person whose rights they are there to defend, is belittling and insulting.
If given the choice between two attorneys who both have winning reputations, who would you choose? The one who ignores you, or the one who keeps you well informed and guides you through the process?
Choose a defense attorney who's actually on your side & contact Sydne French to represent your case.

WATCH MASSREPORT MISCONDUCT
Bicentennial and 33 Day Marian Pilgrimage
In three months, the Archdiocese of Cincinnati (founded as the Diocese of Cincinnati) will celebrate our 200-year anniversary as a diocese! A Mass of Thanksgiving will be celebrated at the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains on Saturday June 19, 2021, which is the anniversary date of the diocese. At present, the archdiocese is comprised of 19 counties in western and southwestern Ohio and more than 440,000 Catholics. To celebrate the bicentennial of the archdiocese a website has launched with an extensive timeline history of the archdiocese, ethnic and religious communities in ministry in the archdiocese and events planned in celebration of the bicentennial. Included in the planned events, a 33 day, more than 300-mile, Marian Pilgrimage. The longest Marian Pilgrimage in the U.S!
Bicentennial: https://200.catholicaoc.org/
Marian Pilgrimage: https://200.catholicaoc.org/marian-pilgrimage or www.mary2021.org
More information about events planned in concurrence with the Marian Pilgrimage, stories for media coverage of the pilgrimage and the bicentennial Mass on June 19, 2021 will be forthcoming. Updates will be available on the websites.
Details about the Marian Pilgrimage as already reported by The Catholic Telegraph:
WHAT DEFINES A PILGRIMAGE?
A pilgrimage is a journey to locations of religious importance. The external journey is meant to ignite an internal spiritual journey of conversion. Pilgrimages can be life changing. It is a deep act of prayer in which individuals bring special intentions, hopes for the future and hearts ready to be transformed to more fully radiate Christ to the world.
WHERE DID THE IDEA FOR A 33-DAY MARIAN PILGRIMAGE COME FROM?
Archbishop Schnurr asked every institution in the archdiocese to consider how to celebrate the upcoming bicentennial on June 19. In response, the Center for the New Evangelization prayerfully discerned the idea of organizing a 33-day Marian Pilgrimage to prepare for the archdiocese's re-consecration to Jesus through Mary. Traditionally, the preparation for a consecration to Jesus through Mary takes 33 days.
WHAT MAKES THIS PILGRIMAGE SPECIAL?
This is the longest Marian Pilgrimage in the U.S.: 33 days long, spanning more than 300 miles with stops at 33 parishes in every deanery of the archdiocese. We will travel with a special statue of Our Lady of Fatima, blessed by Archbishop Schnurr. The final day of the pilgrimage is on the anniversary of the bicentennial. On that day, the statue will visit the Cathedral Basilica of St. Peter in Chains, and Archbishop Schnurr will lead a re-consecration of the archdiocese to Jesus through Mary.
WHO WILL COMPLETE THE PILGRIMAGE?
We are recruiting individuals who will commit to portions of the pilgrimage. Each portion will cover three to four days of the route. Our goal is to have at least eight pilgrims processing with the statue every day.
WHY WAS OUR LADY OF FATIMA CHOSEN?
The apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima have always been closely connected to making a consecration to Jesus through Mary and to pilgrimage. In 1942, Pope Pius XII consecrated the entire world to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in response to Our Lady of Fatima's request. The location of the apparitions of Our Lady of Fatima is a popular pilgrimage destination. At the same time, pilgrim statues of Mary have been deployed across the world to bring the message of Fatima and to inspire prayer.
WHAT WILL IT BE LIKE?
The day will begin with pilgrims celebrating Mass at the host parish at which they arrived at the previous evening. After Mass, pilgrims will begin their journey to the next host parish, processing with the statue of Our Lady of Fatima. The average route will be about 10 miles. Pilgrims will have a prayer routine throughout the day that will include praying for intentions people can submit on our website. Individuals, groups or families who would like to walk a portion of the pilgrimage may join pilgrims along the route. The itinerary on some days will include stops in between the host parishes. These stops include local homeless shelters, pregnancy centers and correctional institutions. The day will end with a Marian celebration at the next host parish.
CAN WE PARTICIPATE VIRTUALLY?
Check out our daily prayers and resources on our website in order to "walk" the same prayer journey as the pilgrims. Request a free copy of the Marian consecration booklet 33 Days to Morning Glory: A Do-It-Yourself Retreat in Preparation for Marian Consecration by Michael Gaitley, MIC, which will be available at every parish in the archdiocese.
CAN WE PARTICIPATE IN PILGRIMAGE EVENTS IF WE CAN'T DO THE PILGRIMAGE?
We have four "cornerstone" events that will be fun, prayerful and family-friendly.
• May 16: Opening Mass at Our Lady of Fatima Shrine, Russells Point
• May 21: Mass and Concert at the Maria Stein Shrine
• May 29: Mass celebrated by Archbishop Schnurr and Family Concert at Chaminade Julienne High School Roger Glass Stadium
• June 19: Family Concert at Fountain Square in Downtown Cincinnati with Marian Consecration
The Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati is the 44th largest Catholic diocese in the country, with more than 440,000 Catholics, and has the fifth largest Catholic school system in terms of enrollment with more than 40,000 students. The 19-county territory includes 211 parishes and 111 Catholic primary and secondary schools.

Q: Does a portable pthread_sleep() function exist? I'm writing an ANSI C application that will be built on both Linux and Windows.
I built the pthread 2.9.1 library for Windows and all works fine.
The problem is that I can't find the function:  pthread_sleep()
I also looked around for that function but it seems that it doesn't exist.
Without that function my code will have to call Sleep() on Windows and sleep() on Linux but that's exactly what I don't want.
Thanks,
Enrico Migliore

A:
The problem is that I can't find the function: pthread_sleep()

No, you wouldn't, since pthreads does not provide such a function.  And why would it?  There is nothing specific to the pthreads API about making a thread sleep, and genuine POSIX platforms all have a variety of other mechanisms, including sleep(), to make a thread sleep.  Not that making threads of a multithreaded program sleep (as opposed to block) is very often a good or reasonable thing to do, anyway.

Without that function my code will have to call Sleep() on Windows and sleep() on Linux but that's exactly what I don't want.

I'm inclined to think that you don't really want to call a platform-agnostic alternative either.  But the traditional approach to handling such issues of using various platform-specific functions to accomplish a common goal is to use a conditionally-defined macro or a wrapper function with condtionally-defined implementation to hide the platform-specific bits.  For example,
#if defined(_MSC_VER)
// Sleep() expects an argument in milliseconds
#define SLEEP(time) Sleep((time) * 1000)
#else
// sleep() expects an argument in seconds
#define SLEEP(time) sleep(time)
#endif

For your particular case, however, there is also the possibility of calling a function with a user-specifiable timeout that you expect always to expire.  Pthreads does provide functions you could use for that, such as pthread_cond_timedwait().  You could write a sleep function with that, without any conditional compilation.  For example,
int my_sleep(long milliseconds) {
    static pthread_mutex_t mutex = PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER;
    static pthread_cond_t cv = PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER;
    int rval = 0;

    if (milliseconds > 0) {
        struct timespec time;

        rval = timespec_get(&time, TIME_UTC);
        // ... handle any error ...
        time.tv_nsec += (milliseconds % 1000) * 1000000;
        time.tv_sec += milliseconds / 1000 + time.tv_nsec / 1000000;
        time.tv_nsec %= 1000000;

        rval = pthread_mutex_lock(&mutex);
        if (rval != 0) {
            // handle error ...
        } else {
            // The loop handles spurrious wakepups
            do {
                rval = pthread_cond_timedwait(&cond, &mutex, &time);  // expects ETIMEDOUT
            } while (rval == 0);
            if (rval != ETIMEDOUT) {
                // handle error ...
            }
            rval = pthread_mutex_unlock(&mutex);  // THIS MUST NOT BE SKIPPED
            // ... handle any error ...
        }
    }

    return rval;
}

Q: How to remove Entitlements.plist from Custom Entitlements setting in xcode I'm seeing this error message when uploading to Testflight:

ERROR ITMS-90046: "Invalid Code Signing Entitlements. Your application bundle's signature contains code signing entitlements that are not supported on iOS. Specifically, value 'applinks:../Wallet/open/' for key 'com.apple.developer.associated-domains' in 'Payload/V-Wallet.app/V-Wallet' is not supported."

How can I remove  Entitlements.plist from Custom Entitlements setting in Xcode?

A: @Karen shah, I believe you are trying to build an IPA file.
Just need to clean it (command + shift +k) and delete all precompiled frameworks  and then build again.


Canadians spent all of 2017 looking for recipes to veganize comfort dishes such as macaroni and cheese, pizza, and chocolate cake.
Search engine Google released this week its Year in Search 2017 report in Canada, which revealed that "plant based diet" was the second most-searched dietary term in the country, with a growing number of users looking for vegan recipes for traditional comfort foods. Alexandra Hunnings Klein, Google Canada trends expert, said that searches for vegan recipes were more popular than ever in 2017. "Since 2004," Hunnings Klein said, "which is as far back as we're able to go when we look at these trends, searches for veganism peaked this summer in Canada." The 10 most popular vegan recipe search terms for the year were macaroni and cheese, lasagna, pizza, gravy, ice cream, brownies, burger, chocolate cake, protein powder, and chili. Australia experienced a similar surge in searches, with the term "vegan" being the top dietary term searched on Google in 2016.


I had the chance to escape winter in New York to take part in events in Miami in December and Punta del Este in January, all promoting interaction between tech entrepreneurs and early stage investors.
A group of Miami-based investors and institutional partners came together to host the third Americas Venture Capital Conference following Art Basel during the week of December 10, and then I was in Punta del Este for the PuntaTech Meetup, hosted by LAVCA member firm Riverwood Capital and their portfolio company Globant.
New events and activities around start up investing have been proliferating in Latin America over the last few years in tandem with a new generation of venture capital funds. LAVCA has been tracking early stage activity closely over the last two years, and in March 2012 we partnered with Silicon Valley Bank to host a trip to Brazil with US VCs and institutional investors.
The current wave of startup funding was marked by the entrance of US venture capital firms into the Brazilian market, led by first movers Tiger Global, Accel and Redpoint among others in 2009-2010. After deploying capital in a wide range of internet and ecommerce startups in a relatively short period of time, it appears that those early investors slowed their pace of investment in 2012 and are in 'wait and see' mode with their current portfolios.
But 2012 was a good year for the development of the startup ecosystem in Latin America, and a number of factors point to the evolution of a sustainable long-term shift in which the region will produce more entrepreneurs, and those entrepreneurs will have greater access to angel, seed and venture capital funding.
Two of the most important local players in the region were busy in 2012 – Monashees in Brazil raised a new fund, and Kazsek Ventures made 13 investments in new and existing portfolio companies. Redpoint eVentures also staffed a local office in Brazil and raised a Brazil dedicated fund. Outside of Brazil there is a small but solid group of institutional VC funds in Chile and in Mexico.
Equally important is the emergence of professionally staffed and managed accelerators, notably NXTP Labs in Buenos Aires and 21212 in Rio. Both NXTP and 21212 are raising seed funds so that they can provide financing and act as a bridge to later stage investors.
In 2012 500 Startups expanded from Brazil into Mexico, and the Wayra accelerator program initiated by Spain's Telefonica hosted a number of Demo Days across the region. Endeavor, which led the charge in championing entrepreneurs in Latin America over a decade ago, has been actively collaborating with all of the relative newcomers to this space.
At the same time, Latin America's business class, family offices and high net worth individuals have become more aware of entrepreneurial activity in their countries and are backing startups as angel investors. Even more so than in the US, the "friends and family" network is critical to accessing capital in Latin America, particularly outside Brazil.
On LAVCA's trip to Medellin in November 2012 we met with local family and angel groups including Bavaria and Antioquia to talk about their role in backing Colombian startups. But our Medellin "Investment Lab" was predictably co-hosted by Colombian groups backed with public funding, Innpulsa and Ruta N in addition to others.
Predictably, because government sponsored programs supporting entrepreneurship, innovation and venture capital have expanded dramatically over the last few years in Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, and Chile. The effort that has garnered the most global media coverage is Start-Up Chile, which was launched in 2010 with an offer of $40,000 in funding for entrepreneurs willing to decamp to Chile to incubate their startups. The program has already graduated over 200 entrepreneurs, although the jury is still out on how many of those initiatives will eventually evolve into successful businesses.
But one of the most significant, and perhaps unintended, outcomes of Start-Up Chile to date has been the trend of US, Latin American and even European entrepreneurs taking advantage of the program to jump start a project in Chile for six months, before moving to Brazil, Silicon Valley, or other markets to expand and grow a business.
In fact lately it seems that whether I'm in Miami, Rio, Buenos Aires or Bogota I find graduates of Start-Up Chile. Or for that matter, at Punta Tech in Punta del Este, where Silicon Valley Bank awarded the winner of a LatAm startup competition: 4Vets, an online B2B supplier of veterinary products for pet shops, veterinary clinics and animal hospitals in Brazil. The company was launched by two Wharton MBAs, one a Peruvian entrepreneur and I-banker with a track record in Brazil, and the other an American veterinarian and entrepreneur. Both now live in Sao Paulo, after their stint in Start-Up Chile.
