S11.E11: Kathie Lee Gifford

TV host Kathie Lee Gifford; guest comedian Brad Sherwood.
Yeah, I'm on the defense as well. Not sure if Kathie Lee's inebriated reputation will bring an advantage or hindrance to the episode. Then again, they are bringing back Dead Bodies so don't expect a lot of dialogue...or movement during the game.
I agree, I saw the name and thought "Oh boy."
ExplainItAgain 4.1k
I'm excited to see Brad!
Not as bad as I feared, but I was disappointed with the amount of Kathie Lee-free Brad that we got.
Intros: Wayne- Who ya gonna call?, Brad- Call me anytime, Colin- Stuck on hold and Ryan- Obscene phone call.
Games: Questions, Duet, Dead Bodies, Scenes From a Hat and Helping Hands.
I'm old enough to remember Kathie Lee as the female singer on Name That Tune ( the syndicated revival version). She was also pretty enough to land Hee Haw Honeys at one point too. So I was a bit sad that she talked/rambled instead of attempting to sing something, as she does have a nice voice. I enjoyed her game-ness, though, as that is a positive thing to have when doing a show like this. Sadly, I think KL tried too hard to either be "hip" ( with the almost non-stop grinding on Brad and Wayne) or continue what has gone on before ( see: "hip") instead of being just the best Improv Kathie Lee she could. (I liked her shrug to the audience after Wayne made his Frank comment. That is the KL I wanted to see more of, not "buy a piece of my vineyard" KL.)
I hadn't seen a Dead Bodies, but I think I could enjoy it. I think Ryan might have.
Scenes was funny; I liked that Aisha jumped on the silliness!
Helping Hands? Of course it went back to being gross, but KL at least saved this one by being just nutsy-fagin herself to keep playing with Brad ( hey-oh!) and Wayne as well. Then she helps clean up Ryan? The nicest person to play this damn game in a while, I am sure. I don't think anyone has ever tried to clean Ryan up post buzzer during the CW run; I may be wrong on that. Mostly, clean themselves and leave. So kudos to Mrs. Gifford for that! *g*
I enjoyed myself, despite the limited Brad, and this is just silly enough to enjoy on rewatches. Obviously, mileage is going to vary. *g*
Edited July 15, 2015 by Actionmage
Alright, Actionmage, I see what you mean about Kathy Lee trying too hard to be hip, but what I think made this episode work is that Kathy Lee was very willing to participate, though I question if she has a pre-ritual of drinking anything before going on camera. Forcing Brad to submit under her whims without almost breaking during Duet really set the tone of Brad's jokes the rest of the episode. And is it me or is Kathy Lee infatuated with Brad due to his steadfast, unbreakable demeanor?
As for Helping Hands, Kathy Lee is a good foil to last week's Penn and Teller, not just by staying to help Ryan clean up, but dragging Brad and Wayne into the game. I can see why Brad expressed his fantasies (and future restraining orders) about Kathy Lee on Twitter; also, he's definitely gonna have some explaining to do with his wife. >_<
I've heard around the net that Kathy Lee's appearance and participation is paralleled to Richard Simmons' episode; I, for one, don't think it outmatches Simmons'; however, I do think this episode is worth re-watching, mostly just so I can watch Brad's expressions. As for Brad, he wasn't moderately used but wasn't underused, either. In fact, I believe Brad is the only person that still sticks out in my mind giving me the most laughs this episode, even though he technically didn't make the punch line. Perhaps Kathy Lee is doing a favor dragging Brad into everything and giving him plenty of attention.
Wow, that was good! I'm so glad to have been wrong about how KLG would do. And points to her for appreciating the fineness of Brad.
KL turned out to be much better than I thought. However, I missed a lot of the lyrics in beginning of Duets because I was too busy looking at her face. I haven't seen KL in years. I kind of hoped at some point one of them would sing "Kathie Lee talks and talks, but she would look better without the botox."
She seems like a nice person and I haven't heard anything bad about her, too bad that she thinks she has to do this to herself.
I liked her shrug to the audience after Wayne made his Frank comment.
I missed it. What did Wayne say?
I didn't enjoy KL. I just don't like it when the person being sung to makes him/herself the center of attention. It rarely works imo. I did like when Wayne had that puzzled look on his face after she said the thing about buying her vineyard. "I guess that's sexy."
Similarly in Dead Bodies she had to try to add to the humor. JUST LET COLIN WORK HIS MAGIC! He knows how to make it funny. It doesn't have to be dirty. I'm not being a prude; it's just that dirty jokes are cheap and easy.
I love Dead Bodies -- though not as much as Moving People -- and KLG nearly ruined it.
Questions Only was fun. Lots of good lines in it.
SFAH also ok. I'm not a fan of Aisha being involved. My favorite joke in this game and in the whole ep was when Colin did the thing with the butterfly.
Helping Hands. Meh.
I was actually enjoying the final bit where the five of them were doing the credits thing. KLG should have been used in a game where she actually had to improvise. She was good in this.
"You're so sexy, like money in the bank/ Close your eyes for three minutes and let me be your black Frank...." She reacted surprised, but then shrugged at the audience/ cameras. It was amusing.
Watching Colin and Ryan react throughout the song was great fun, too. Brad said that KLG was "so funny", KLG said something, and Brad replied, "I hope not." I am guessing it was a variation of "They're going to cut that aren't they?"
Colin's "You're dead" to Kathie Lee was fun. Wayne's face after the line "spank me"? I enjoy the games more when everyone is having fun.
It seemed that KLG was going full dead weight. If she did, I think that breaks the spirit of the game, which is don't hurt the active player/ mover. Colin didn't seem to be hurt, which is good, but Colin didn't seem to have as much trouble moving Wayne. It's improv, not a Method class exercise. Obviously, just an opinion of mine.
As far as getting out of eating the concoctions this show ends up with? Kathie Lee at least was proactive in how to not have to do so. There was no dancing around the fact; she straight up gave it to the guys, but in a nice, polite way.
I think we know what Brad Sherwood's favorite episode was. Even if it wasn't #1, it's probably Top 3.
edited: spellcheck is a nosy parker.

Agreed. She just went limp. Colin had to work a little too hard.
I actually didn't enjoy KLG too much. The credits bit was the best part - she was good in that. She was just trying too hard to make sexy happen and it seemed a little desperate.
I enjoyed seeing Brad though. So many good 4th chairs lately.

Q: Symfony2 Entity with date, calculate average per day i have an entity Amount
with
/**
 * @var float
 *
 * @ORM\Column(name="value", type="float")
 */
private $value;

/**
 * @Exclude
 * @Gedmo\Timestampable(on="create")
 * @ORM\Column(name="created_at", type="datetime")
 */
private $createdAt;

and some more fields
I want to calculate the average Value per day
right now i create for everyday a DateTime
    $date=new \DateTime();
    $yesterday = new \ DateTime();
    $yesterday->modify("- 1 day");
    $beforeYesterday = new \ DateTime();
    $beforeYesterday->modify("- 2 days");
    ...

and i loop through all amounts
    $averageCounts=[];

    foreach ($amounts as $amount) {
        if($amount->getCreatedAt()->format("d.m.Y") == $date->format("d.m.Y") ){
            $averageCounts['today'] += $amount->getValue();
        }

        if($amount->getCreatedAt()->format("d.m.Y") == $yesterday->format("d.m.Y") ){
           $averageCounts['yesterday'] += $amount->getValue();
        }

    }

    $averagePerDay = ($averageCounts['today'] + $averageCounts['yesterday']) / count($averageCount) ;

so its obviuous i cant go on like this, can anybody point me to an elegant way of calculating the average value per day ?

A: I suggest you to use group by so you will have the next sql:
SELECT AVG(t.value), t.create_at FROM table AS t GROUP BY(t.create_at)
In your repository you can translate in dql:
$q = $em->createQuery();
$dql = "select AVG(t.value), DAY(t.createdAt)
        cdate  from MyProject\Model\Table t WHERE t.type=:param GROUP BY cdate";

$q->setDql($dql)->setParameter('param', $param);

About the 2016 Honda Accord LX Trim: What Does The LX Trim Come With?
From everyday commuting to tackling family holidays to impressing clients and colleagues, the 2016 Honda Accord LX runs the gamut of responsibilities required by Goshen and Monroe drivers. Fitted with a strong selection of standard features and a powerful engine beneath the hood, it's an entry-level trim level that feels like anything but.
Many entry-level sedans offer substandard power, but the 2016 Honda Accord LX just doesn't play that way. Instead, you'll be able to command up to a generous 185 hp and 181 lb-ft of torque right off the bat thanks to a 2.4L four-cylinder engine. You'll then be able to choose between two refined transmissions.
6-Speed Manual: Some drivers like the precise control provided by manual; they'll make up to 23 mpg in the city and 34 mpg on the highway* with this transmission in an Accord LX.
Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT): Other drivers like their vehicle to do all the shifting for them; thanks to CVT, they'll make an incredible 27 mpg in the city and 37 mpg on the highway* in an Accord LX.
Horsepower and torque are responsible for providing a responsive and engaging drive, but it's a sedan's features that often matter most to Goshen and Monroe families. Honda has answered that need by providing plenty of amenities in the 2016 Accord LX, enhancing everything from comfort to connectivity to entertainment.
Bluetooth HandsFreeLink: Since staying connected on the go is more important than ever, the Accord comes with Bluetooth as standard, and there's even an SMS texting function that can read your incoming messages aloud.
Speed-Sensitive Volume Control: Lets you sit back and enjoy your four-speaker, Pandora-equipped sound system.
Dual-Zone Climate Control System: Both the driver and front-passenger can select their own temperatures.
The LX is also one of the only entry-level sedan trims that is available with the advanced driver-assistance technologies listed below – such options are usually reserved for the most expensive models.
The 2016 Honda Accord has been one of America's most popular vehicles for decades, and the Accord LX proves that this legendary line hasn't come close to losing its touch. If you'd like to learn more about this enticing model near Goshen and Monroe, just contact Middletown Honda.

In 1848, several revolutions broke out in Europe as despotic rulers were confronted with popular demands for liberal constitutions and more democratic government.
The French, who had already rebelled against royal rule in 1789 and 1830, set the pace once again, with a popular uprising in February of 1848. This time, it was King Louis Philippe who paid the price. He refused to allow his subjects universal suffrage and was forcibly removed from his throne. A republic was set up in his place and Louis Napoleon, nephew of the famous Napoleon Bonaparte, was elected president.
Within a month, revolutionary ideas had spread to Germany, which was then a collection of small, independent states. The most prominent state was Prussia where rioters in Berlin, the capital, followed the French example and demanded more democracy. At first, the Prussian king, Frederick William IV, seemed willing to co operate.
He agreed to summon the Frankfurt Assembly, a parliament of German states. The Assembly met in May 1848. It seemed promising that the Assembly was dominated by liberal-minded delegates, but it soon became evident that Frederick William was playing for time. waiting until the moment arrived to reinforce his absolute rule.
His opportunity arrived after liberals in Austria were suppressed by their own despotic government. At that, King Frederick William lost no time dissolving the Frankfurt Assembly and re-imposing his authority.
Events in Austria had followed much the same pattern as in Germany, although a great deal more bloodshed was involved. There had been riots in Vienna, the Austrian capital, in March and the dictatorial chancellor and foreign minister, Prince Klemens Metternich had been forced to resign.
The Austrian Emperor, Ferdinand I, summoned an assembly, so encouraging the Czechs and Hungarians who were under Austrian rule to demand their independence. Instead, they were savagely suppressed. Prague, the Czech capital was bombarded with artillery by the Austrian military commander, Prince Windishgraetz. Windishgraetz went on to put down more liberal unrest in Vienna in the same fashion and by December, 1848, imperial authority was once more supreme.
This, though, was by no means the end of Austria's problems. Ferdinand was also faced with demands for an end to Austrian rule in italy. There, as elsewhere, there was liberal agitation for more democratic government. The Italian state of Piedmont led the struggle and on March 23, the Piedmontese declared war on Austria.
Piedmont was one of four Italian states where the rulers were forced by revolts to grant liberal constitutions. Not only that, Piedmont prepared to fight for independence by declaring war on Austria. Austria, however, was a great military power and inevitably, the Piedmontese lost the war.
All the same, Piedmont retained its new constitution. It also had a liberal-minded King, Victor Emmanuel II and Prime minister, Count Camillo Cavour. Cavour's great ambition was to unify the disparate states of Italy and throw the Austrians out. Eventually, in 1861, Cavour achieved his aim, when Victor Emmanuele became King of all Italy.
This outcome,though, was the only permanent success scored by the revolutions of 1848. Elsewhere, the rebels failed to establish the more democratic society they sought. In addition to Prussia and Austria, uprisings in Rome, Naples, Poland and Wallachia (Romania) also came to nothing. In France, Louis Napoleon performed an astonishing about-turn. By1852, he had made himself Emperor, as Napoleon III, and assumed dictatorial powers.
But although despotic government survived in Europe and absolute monarchs were back in power, they never felt totally secure ever again. Instead, they smothered themselves in security and so became even more distanced from their subjects than before.

Next Generation Portable Gaming – PlayStation Vita
By Karen Nelson / June 15, 2011 December 7, 2012 / News / Gaming Gear / 7 Comments
Sony announced on June 7, 2011, their next portable gaming system, PlayStation Vita. Vita means "life" in Latin. The Wi-Fi model will be available for $249 or $299 for the 3G/Wi-Fi version. AT & T will be Vita's exclusive 3G partner. The Vita has a 5″ multi-touch organic light emitting diode (OLED) (960×544 pixels) as its front display and has a multi-touch pad on the rear. The PS Vita allows game play like never before, featuring three-dimension-like motion through finger motions of push and pull, trace, push and pull, and grab. PlayStation's Vita has two analog sticks which create a larger genre of games for the portable gaming experience. It will also have 6-axis motion sensors and dual front and back facing cameras. This device is supposed to run on a quad core ARM Cortex A9 processor. Vita will be preloaded with a new application called "Party", which enables the user to engage in voice or text chat while online gaming and also when playing different games, or even performing different applications, like surfing the internet. PS Vita will also come with an application called "Welcome Park", which is a user's guide to accustom them easily to the features of Vita and to easily learn the three-dimension-like finger motions on the PS Vita.

Me want and me want now.
In addition to the quad core A9 processors, the Sony Vital will also have the PowerVR SGX543 MP4 (MP4 means it's quad core) providing its graphics performance, which can be compared to the PowerVR SGX543 MP2 (Dual Core) used by the iPad2 for comparison but even more powerful with the additional two cores.
I'm not sure on the WiFi only version but the 3G version should also have GPS.
strike both 'Nintendo DS' & 'Wii U' with one stone

Already have mine pre-ordered on Amazon, and counting down the days…

The PSP has preven to be a very reliable video player for my sons. We use it as a handheld video device, or we plug it into my car distribution amp to feed two headrest monitors…and of course for TVs in hotels, etc.
I wish it would allow me to mirror the display rather than just shut it off.
My biggest complaint…and it appears Sony is doing it again is non-standard cables and memory cards. It's obnoxious to require customers to purchase special memory cards…and even worse that it looks like this device won't use the older Memory Stick Duos.
The transfer/charge cable should be USB on both sides (this goes for Apple too)
The memory cards should be some form of the SD standard.
I also hope Sony sees fit to release a little keyboard for this model…as that's something the PSP was long rumored to get, but never materialized either from Sony or 3rd parties.
@Ken Esq I agree that the PSVITA should have an on screen keyboard for assessing the internet and stuff. Also the expropriatory format is to stop piracy and stuff just like the wii and ds and even the new U.
I believe that the Vita may not get my vote due to its lack of inbuilt functionality (though it does have lots of inputs) it does not seem multi-functional. The ipad on the other hand has good reference tools, innovative applications and games all through the app store. In short I wished that the Android market or at least some good non game apps were available for the Vita.
If I do try to purchase one I hope it cost less than 600 NZD.

As the country (finally) collectively thaws after a particularly nasty winter, Thai restaurants are heating up from coast to coast. Andy Ricker's Pok Pok empire is expanding to Los Angeles, with Pok Pok Phat Thai already open and Pok Pok L.A. on its way. In Houston, chef PJ Stoops is set to unleash Foreign Correspondents this spring, and international chain Mango Tree recently opened its first American outpost in Washington, D.C.
In San Francisco, chef James Syhabout, who's from Northeastern Thailand, just opened a second location of his well-received Thai street food restaurant, Hawker Fare. But you don't need to eat out to get a taste of Thailand. After a recent cultural and culinary tour of his home country to hone in on the flavors he's serving, Syhabout helped put together a guide to mapping out everything you need to cook great Thai food at home.
Galangal, like ginger, is a rhizome, and the two are closely related. Galangal, however, "imparts a totally different flavor," Syhabout says. "Ginger is definitely not a substitute." Be sure to find the real deal, which can mean buying frozen galangal if necessary.
Kaffir limes are used for their leaves and skins. The fruit doesn't yield much juice, but the essential oils in the peel provide great aromatics for curries and curry pastes.
Fish sauce is used as salt in Thai cuisine. "It's the backbone of Thai cooking," Syhabout says, noting that it also imparts umami. But not all fish sauces are created equal. "People don't realize, but there's a huge variation across brands," Syhabout says. His choice is Tiparos, but he suggests conducting a personal tasting as you might with an array of olive oils.
Oyster sauce is used in stir-fries and marinades. "A little goes a long way," Syhabout says. Try to find actual oyster sauce, such as Maekrua, though Chinese-style "oyster-flavored sauce" will work in a pinch.
The Thai bird or bird's eye chile is ubiquitous—and very hot. "It will punch you in the nose," Syhabout warns. "It's a sharp spice." They're best to use fresh, however fresno or serrano chiles are fine substitutes.
Thai basil and holy, or hot, basil are both different from the "sweet" Genovese basil more common in the United States. Holy basil is used in stir-fries to impart herbal and anise notes, and Thai basil, with its beautiful purple stems and buds, is commonly used in soups, where it lends a sharper, bolder flavor.
"Palm sugar is the best," Syhabout says. It offers a caramelized sweetness similar to light brown sugar, with a woodsy, earthy undertone. You'll likely find it in small, hardened "cakes" or blocks, which can be shaved, melted and incorporated into a dish.
There's no Thai curry and no tom kha soup without coconut milk, meaning you should have plenty on hand and ready to go at all times. Syhabout suggests AROY-D coconut milk—cartoned, not canned.
The acidic kick from tamarind isn't as sharp as lime. "It's more round and balanced," Syhabout says. It's used in various soups, sauces and marinades, and Syhabout also fondly remembers his mother making homemade tamarind jam to spread onto toast.
Sticky rice is an indispensable staple in most Thai meals, sopping up sauce and flavor and offering an easy mode of delivery.
To make great sticky rice at home, "you have to have the right equipment for the right job," Syhabout says. As opposed to a regular steamer set, he suggests specially made woven bamboo cones, placed over a corresponding pot to steam the rice while ensuring the water never makes direct contact.

Fighting the Global Jihadi Movement
By Nikita Kohli August 13, 2019
As this article is being written, the international community is patting itself on the back for having conducted brilliant counter-terrorism operations and defeating some of the world's most dangerous and destructive groups. 29 June 2019, which would have otherwise seen the fifth anniversary of the Islamic State, instead saw the international terrorist group militarily defeated and holding no territory in Iraq and Syria. Al-Qaeda, too has been down and not heard from in a long while. These achievements must certainly be attributed to the steady international efforts by governments world-wide to kill or imprison the top leadership, and successfully hindering its global financial flows.
While these have been great achievements, terrorism analysts the world over have been warning the international security apparatus that the threat remains. The terrorist threat that we are talking about, that no military is fighting has a unique name: al-Qaedaism. Al-Qaedaism, while deriving its name from the terrorist organization, is essentially the representation of its ideology and narrative. As is explain below, it is the propagation of this narrative of the need and want for a global jihad as developed by the al-Qaeda core which is sustaining the global jihad movement even today, with all its variations and caveats. It is this ideology, and its manifestations that the international community must now focus on, and conclusively defeat, if it is to end the scourge of jihadist terrorism.
The Da'wah and the Aqā'id
Al-Qaeda or the global jihad ideology, while appeasing a small section within the larger Islamic Community, has held captive the imagination of a large section of the world's population. Its da'wah, or call, famously put together in al-Suri's The Call for Global Islamic Resistance[i], is based on a clear, concise, reapable ideology, with clear, defined good and evil actors[ii]. It is this powerful narrative developed by the al-Qaeda core, constantly re-worked for present times, while retaining its central idea, which has made al-Qaeda, and any affiliation to it, the highest ideals for any terrorist organization. Subsequent terrorist organizations, including the Islamic State (IS), Boko Haram, Abu Sayyaf, and other, continue to use the ideology and propaganda style developed by al-Qaeda. This ideology, perpetuated into present day from the 1980s is what I refer to as al-Qaedaism. Zehr describes this phenomenon as, 'a meaning-giving, action-guiding narrative begins with a set of ideas developed by a group of jihadi thinkers who have influenced al-Qaeda's worldview and that it is 'a specific religious narrative that directs a multitude of groups….that are motivated by the idea that the use of indiscriminate force put toward the goal of achieving a "proper" Islamic state is a critical and indispensable part of Muslim revitalization in the contemporary world'[iii]. It is this guiding and legitimizing narrative or aqā'id (plural of aqeedah, or belief, ideology, creed) that we need to fight.
The al-Qaeda ideological narrative or aqeedah becomes apparent in its manhaj or programme or method. It has spread and cemented its ideology across the globe not by simply announcing it via dedicated channels, but also by creating a dedicated set of cadres who spread the ideology based on local ideas and tastes. The group's propagations and promulgations were based on a careful study of the target population, delicate preparation and creation of a collective identity of a subjugated Muslim ummah and its necessity for jihad. These ideas were subsequently reinforced by not only TV broadcasts and announcements, as well as through internet blogs and forum discussions (which have been well-studied and analysed by terrorism experts across the world), but also through a careful preparation of school educational curriculum in areas under their influence.
These ideas, which at any point of time, was acceptable only to a select group even within their target audience, were then reinforced and displayed by political and military campaigns. While Chechnya, Algeria, Egypt, and other campaigns were successful for these jihadists, their biggest break came from the Afghan Jihad. It was the jihad that brought together jihadists from across the world, many of whom did not agree with the ideology of another.
It is due to such a 'training' platform provided by al-Qaeda to terrorists the world over, as well as its amalgamation of various terrorist groups under its umbrella, that has allowed the continued growth and long-term sustainability of the global jihadi movement.
While we are presently seeing a decline in terrorist activities, especially of major groups such as al-Qaeda and IS, it is their meaning-giving narrative, or as I call it, al-Qaedaism, that ensures that the global jihadi movement continues. Whether it be under the tutelage of international groups like IS, or by independent, local jihadis, the threat remains high. Having militarily defeated such groups, and having ensured lack of geographical or territorial areas for them to regroup and restart, this time is perhaps the best possible time to counter the jihadi ideology for once and for all.
Countering al-Qaedaism
Narratives, including al-Qaedaism, are bulletproof. They do not go away by use of or display of force. Nor can they be defeated. One essential part of narrative formation is the use of cases that cannot be proved false, not whether they can be proved true. Countering them with correct news and proving that the established narrative is false therefore is not the best strategy.
What we need now are alternate narratives. Any counter Information Operations strategy needs to develop a strong, alternate narrative, which shifts the focus to a different set of news items. These alternate narratives, in order to effectively counter the established narratives, needs to be based on an in-depth study of the target population, and must be made short enough to be a metaphor – it then need only be stated, not explained. Finally, the international community, in developing the counter-narrative must ensure that it is not solely based on anglo-saxon sociological and linguistic traditions (that is, focused on American or Western European understandings and traditions). It must embrace the cultural affinity of the target audience, that is, it needs to work within the cultural and linguistic confines of Arabic or Maghreb culture for instance, make small amends towards their understanding of the applicability of al-Qaedaism. This is the only way to gain the trust and access to the segments that are pro-jihadist or jihadi themselves. That is the way to fight and defeat global jihadi movement.
[i] Al-Suri, Abu Musab, The Call for Global Islamic Resistance [Arabic]. While the online documents point to December 2004 as its date of publication, Brynjar Lia argues that the Call was published in January 2005.
[ii] See, for instance, bin Laden's Jihad against Jews and Crusaders, issued February 23, 1998. It provides a clear list of sins of the Americans, and pits them as the evil Satan, which needs to be countered by good Muslims who will fight the honourable jihad. Such narratives, clearly, are effective – they need no explanation, are self-evident, and present a clear dichotomy of good and evil – thereby shifting mindsets in favour of one camp or another.

Countless people gathered to fill the Garrison to capacity on Saturday, January 28th, filled with hope and excitement to witness the first show in 2012 of Toronto/Montreal psychedelic noise opera collective, Yamantaka//Sonic Titan. This show was probably the most buzzed gig of the weekend, covered by numerous media outfits, including Now Magazine BlogTO and the Grid, yet the self-acclaimed, 'Noh-Wave' collective lived up to their hype by the phenomenal stage setup and performance.
With a blast of thunder, dragons arose on the stage, swimming through the sea of collected audience. At last, fully dressed in white facial make-up and kimono, they emerged on the stage. The lead singer, Ruby Kato Attwood dressed as a Miko, a shrine maiden, stayed apathetic during the 'Counting Track', which left her mysterious, while the drummer Alaska B slammed her drums, '1.2.3.4..."-while her counting compellingly echoed throughout the venue. It seemed as if the whole venue was transferred to a whole different world, the world originally constituted by their 'Noh-Wave' tunes.
It is also worth mentioning that their formidable supporting members, including the guitarist, John Ancheta and keyboard player Brendan Swanson, which my eyes were glued to amid the slick artistic performance.

What's Hot This Summer: The Lion King Leads the Pack on Social Platforms
Exhibition Features • Boxoffice Staff • April 25 2019
By Alex Edghill
The summer season at the box office is upon us yet again, and to coincide with this supercharged time at theaters we have a brand-new set of tools and tracking features at our fingertips here at Boxoffice. They offer a wealth of new angles and viewpoints on the season and will be invaluable to our arsenal as pundits and color commentators.
To date, 2019 has not been a massive success for cineplexes—it is lagging over 15 percent behind 2018 as I write this column. Undoubtedly, Avengers: Endgame will offer a huge shot of adrenaline, but if box office is to grow and surpass last year's record, then it needs some other major wins besides Endgame and the upcoming Star Wars, which drops at the end of the year.
As always, summer is filled with potential. There is plenty of variety, a wide range of films including sequels, remakes, spin-offs, and original offerings. We have never seen more than three films open to above $150 million in a single year, but there's a very strong chance that will happen in 2019. Which of the summer releases are primed for huge breakouts? Or busts? Let's take a closer look at the most relevant social media statistics over the last two weeks as of this writing to try to narrow the field and glean whatever information we can from Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
Before we delve into the numbers, it's important to note that when comparing social media data across platforms, no two services are the same, both in terms of usage and in terms of demographic breakdown. Instagram has more than double the users of Twitter, while Facebook has more than double the users of Instagram. The 13–17 demographic has a stronger foothold on Instagram than either of the two, while Twitter has a much higher percentage of its user base over 35 than either of the other two combined. Social media monitoring is by no means an exact science—it's like trying to nail a bull's-eye with a dart from a speeding car—but it is one of the strongest, fastest, and most cost-effective litmus tests of prospective moviegoers.
The Lion King was the most consistent performer over all three social media platforms tracked during the period in question. With 23 million fans in total, it led five of the six categories examined, missing out only on Facebook Engagement (calculated by Likes + Shares + Comments/Number of Fans). Not only did it lead most of the categories analyzed, it more than doubled the competition in three of the five it led. Based on these buzz numbers, there is little doubt that this is the film to beat outside of Avengers: Endgame this summer season. While the original Lion King was a massive success, grossing $312 million way back in 1994 and becoming the highest-grossing animated film of all time in its initial run (which it later raised to $423 million after Imax and 3-D rereleases), there was some doubt about how a fully CGI remade adaptation would fare. But these social media numbers have all but dispelled any concern about its performance.
Next up is Detective Pikachu, which showed very strong numbers across all our metrics; in fact, it's the only film to lead a category other than The Lion King, the previously mentioned Engagement figure. I wrote an entire column dedicated to Detective Pikachu a few months back, after its first trailer just about broke social media. These numbers only further affirm my prediction from back then that its brand power and name recognition, coupled with the entire marketing machine, are going to make for a giant opening this May.
X-Men: Dark Phoenix had a strong showing on both Twitter and Facebook but lagged behind many of the other tentpoles on Instagram. It performed the strongest on Twitter, with the third-highest page and post likes across all films of interest. It saved its best performance for the Facebook Power metric, which is based on the following formula: Likes + Shares + Comments. The X-Men franchise saw a marked decline in its last outing, Apocalypse, versus Days of Future Past, and it remains to be seen whether Dark Phoenix will be able to buck the trend or continue the slide. These numbers are still largely positive, and while Dark Phoenix does face a lot of stiff competition, there is a very likely chance it will at least matche Apocalypse, which is nothing to scoff at ($65 million opening, $155 million total).
Aladdin presents a much more mixed bag than the preceding three films, and with its release just six weeks away (at press time), this could potentially be a warning sign. Its official Twitter page did not make any posts in our period of interest, which is surprising considering how close it is to release. On Facebook, it had a solid Power number, but its Engagement rank was among the lowest of the films tracked, and its Instagram numbers were middling at best. The original Aladdin was the second-highest-grossing animated film of all time after its 1992 release (coming within $1 million of becoming number one of all time at that point) and it is one of the most beloved titles in the Disney vault. However, this time around it is not performing nearly as well as its cousin The Lion King or other recent Disney live-action remakes such as Beauty and the Beast and Cinderella. Its lack of posts across the board at this late stage in the game is also somewhat perplexing.
Last up is Godzilla: King of the Monsters, which had a strong showing across all measured metrics—especially on Instagram, where it had the third-highest post likes over our two-week window of interest. Its predecessor had a mammoth $93 million opening and $200 million total, so the potential here is huge. This film could indeed break out this summer, and anything close to those aforementioned numbers would be a welcome gift for Warner Bros.
There are obviously quite a few promising titles missing from this report, including Spider-Man: Far from Home, Once Upon A Time in Hollywood, and Men in Black: International. The reason for their absence? They had few to no social media posts across our three monitored platforms during our two-week period of interest. All three are over two months away as of this writing, so it's not an ominous sign by any means. But it is strange that potential blockbusters would go two full weeks without posts on major social media platforms; perhaps they are focusing their marketing efforts on different channels at this time.
Another salient point is that social media tends to underrepresent kids and family audiences for obvious reasons (not many toddlers on social media, yet). Also, in general, audiences over 35 are less active on Facebook and Instagram. The fact that Toy Story 4 and The Secret Life of Pets 2 are lower in the chart does not necessarily spell trouble, but it does indicate that they are missing the same interest among the 18–35 bracket as, say, a Lion King. The same goes for Hobbs & Shaw and John Wick: Chapter 3 – Parabellum, which target older male audiences as their core demographic—not traditional social media powerhouses.
The Lion King is clearly the film to beat this summer season (next to Endgame, of course) as of this column, and it will be interesting to circle back in a few months and take stock of these predictions and how they compared to actual results. My final takeaway from this analysis is surprise at the general lack of interaction with fans by studios for their films. Having massive $200 million blockbusters scheduled for release within a few months and millions of fans signed up for updates on said films, yet no posts in a two-week period on one or all three of the major social media platforms seems like a missed opportunity. More is not always better, but within such a crowded marketplace, anything that helps you stand out from the competition provides a strategic advantage.

Q: How to inject spy object into private field I'm trying to inject a spy into private field private Map<Integer, IPatron> patrons; with no luck. The field does not belong to any constructors or have any setters or getters. I'm trying to avoid changes to source code if possible.
I can explicitly assign the spy if the field is set to public but from what I understand it should happen automatically.

package library;

import java.util.Map;

import org.junit.jupiter.api.BeforeEach;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.Test;
import org.junit.jupiter.api.extension.ExtendWith;
import org.mockito.InjectMocks;
import org.mockito.Spy;
import org.mockito.junit.jupiter.MockitoExtension;
import org.mockito.junit.jupiter.MockitoSettings;
import org.mockito.quality.Strictness;

import library.entities.IPatron;
import library.entities.Library;

@ExtendWith(MockitoExtension.class)
@MockitoSettings(strictness = Strictness.LENIENT) // allows unnecessary "stubbing"
class TestTing{
    @Spy
    private Map<Integer, IPatron> patrons;

    @Spy
    @InjectMocks
    Library library;

    @BeforeEach
    void setUp(){
    }

    @Test
    void getPatronList(){
        library.getPatronList();
        //someTest
        patrons.size();
    }
}

    private Map<Integer, IPatron> patrons;

    public Library() {

        patrons = new HashMap<>();
    }

    @Override
    public List<IPatron> getPatronList() {
        return new ArrayList<IPatron>(patrons.values());
    }

My understanding is that the @Spy private Map<Integer, IPatron> patrons; will find the private Map<Integer, IPatron> patrons; in the class under test and replace it.

A: First off, you're testing class Library right, so its not a spy or anything, its just a regular instance, so that you should create it in test like this:
 Library underTest = new Library(...);

Now, the answer to your question is not about Mockito, but about making the code unit-testable.
Not any produced code is automatically unit testable.
As class Library is written now its impossible (unless you forcefully set the patrons with reflection). Reflection is also not a good way to do this.
I suggest using Dependency injection principle and refactor the code like this:
class Library {
   private Map<Integer, IPatron> patrons;

   public Library(Map<Integer, IPatron> patrons) {
        this.patrons = patrons;
   }
}

Then in test you can create patrons as a Map, as a Spy, mock or whatever you want to mimic real interaction and inject into the Library:
Library underTest = new Library(patrons);

A: You hard code patrons dependency inside Library class. Don't use hardcoding.
We should ask for dependencies and not define them ourselves.
We ask for mandatory dependencies in constructor and for optional ones in setters.
Change signature of your constructor to the following:
public Library(Map<Integer, IPatron> patrons) {
    this.patrons = patrons;
}

Also make patrons field final.
In this case Library class doesn't care how patrons are created and what it is. Because it's not its responsibility.
You don't need any spy or mocks to test Library class now. And it's more extensible and testable.


Total re-brand, Signature already had a logo but it was very dated and required a a complete overhaul.
An enjoyable one this one, something different. I wanted to create something representative of what Signature do (rent student properties and rooms) but I also wanted to create something very simple and minimal.
I also wanted to create something bright, bold and fresh that would appeal to the student market but at the same time still look very professional.
The client was very pleased with the re-brand and I managed to get this just right without much revision.

THE SLEDGE "THE PLANE"
14.07.2018 12.05.2018 Categories Design
Needless to say that coasting on sleds is one of the most popular pastimes — a great form of active rest in winter. Is it because in different countries there are many quite different from each other types of sleds, from simple sieves, stuffed with straw, to multi-piece designs, the manufacture of which only a very good craftsman. Gradually transforming and improving, Luge has won recognition in the international arena and even among the Olympic sports: sledding "skeleton" and "Bob" played the most important sports award — the medal winners of the Olympic games.
It would seem that for many centuries the builders of the sleigh would have to exhaust all their options. Nevertheless, the development of the structures of sled to ride from the mountains is not stopped, rather the contrary: almost every year our craftsmen demonstrate new, more interesting designs. Success has, for example, the share of single-track "skibob"; popular sleds, known as the "snow bike". During the weekends the commuter trains you can find a lot of young people with these sleds. In 1976 we introduced our readers with the novelty from Krasnoyarsk sleigh gliding type, in their – the basis of car camera, which was attached to a special form. Today we want to talk about a sled that looks very reminiscent of the plane and give an entirely new feel thanks to the soft suspension of the platform on which is located the athlete. These sleds are like very much, and not only for those who dream of sooner or later to connect my life with aviation.
So the sled a plane, or a sled-the balancer (see Fig.), since the Foundation of mastery is the ability to support the weights, balancing the entire body. The platform on which the athlete rests, sprung shock-absorber of a motorcycle type that softens the bumps on rough tracks. For riding these sleds are best suited slopes that are generally used by novice skiers.
For the manufacture of sledges-the"plane" you will need the following materials: lime, pine or spruce boards (for the manufacture of the wing and skiing) with a length of 1500 mm and a thickness of 25 mm with a width from 100 to 300 mm; leaf birch waterproof plywood size mm. 1500X1500X3 Still need epoxy or casein glue, good sunduka loop and two handles, and a pendulum absorber fork of the motorcycle or scooter.
Sled-"airplane" — design and Assembly:
And the sledges Packed for transport urban transport; B — the contour of the wing span 1500 mm on the grid (in the case of reduction for younger children the square side should do 75-80 mm); soft bedding: 1 — quilted changing Mat, 2 — ribbon for attachment to the Board (the length of the mattress should be equal to the length of the Board); Mr. the main parts and their arrangement: 1 —.wing, 2 — underwing rails, 3 — handle, 4 — bolts connecting the wing to the Board, 5 Board, b — loop, connecting the Board with the ski, 7 — ski 8 — metal undercut front of the ski (T-bar profile height 10 mm); 9 — damping Assembly of two coil springs attached to the ski and Board cross the M6 bolts through the steel plate; D — the simplest device for flexible sock ski: 1 — ladder, 2 — lining, 3 — storage of skis, 4 — a tethered cord. In the manufacture of skis from planks of its front part should be steamed in boiling water; when gluing multiple strips of plywood there is no need.
The ski can be bent on a simple fixture (ladder), as shown in figure D. For this, the nose of the billet is necessary to steam in hot water (this can be done at the trough, put on a two burner gas stove), and then, when the workpiece will stay in the boiling water for 15-20 minutes, quickly clip it in the bending fixture and tighten strong twine or clothes line. If the boards selected for the manufacture of skis, very dry and stiff, they are poorly to steam bending and can break. To avoid this, it is recommended that before steaming to make a fine hacksaw in the bow of the future ski longitudinal propyl, in which. after drying, the workpiece is introduced a piece of plywood on epoxy resin. This simple operation will give the ski a high strength and shape consistency. The next stage is the manufacture of the wing. Its outlines are given on the grid (each square is equal to 100 mm).
Making the wing drawing in full size on paper or plywood, it is necessary to connect the required number of existing boards (if there is such a wide Board to make the wing fit on . it is completely). Game wing precisely, on a carpenter's table or focusing astrogate his right and left half in the drawing (see Fig. B). Carefully crafted with a file and sandpaper the wing is impregnated with hot linseed oil and covered with bright paint so that the sled would stand out better in the snow.
The platform manufacturer, which is the athlete, will not cause difficulties: it is a pine Board size of 1200X30X25 mm, laminated for greater strength plywood, 3 mm thick At the bow, it connects to the ski with conducing loop, and in the middle podrazdelyaetsya spring or a motorcycle shock absorber. In a pinch you can use the chip flat car shock absorbers, or inflated soccer ball enclosed in a canvas case; there are many different solutions. It is only important to cushioning .the item had a reserve to absorb – shocks when riding from the mountains. Therefore, under static load (influenced only the weight of the athlete) a shock absorbing element should not "squander" to the end.

Ridgefield Jaguars are a recreational program designed to foster development of the person and hockey player while having fun. Fun is the operative word. The Program emphasis is on improving skating skill, on improving fundamental hockey skills, and on developing team play and sportsmanship. Approximately twenty Ridgefield JaguarsHockey teams will be formed with an adult, volunteer parent coaching staff of at least two! Atoms and Mites will play their games cross ice on a smaller divided rink format. During pre-season evaluations, each player is rated and is placed on one of three "lines" with other players of the same skill. Teams will be balanced. In games, each line plays against the corresponding line on the other team, so everyone is equally matched. Team standings are maintained and there is a season-ending playoff. All players are given equal ice time regardless of ability. The program consists of an average of one practice and one game per week. Ridgefield Jaguars play will be lightened up between Dec 24 and Jan 1 to accommodate school holidays. Complete hockey outfitting is required!
Teams are open to boys & girls playing on Ridgefield Hockey (RAHA) travel teams. Please call or for details.

The Concert
Tasha Robinson
Radu Mihaileanu
Aleksei Guskov, Mélanie Laurent, Valeriy Barinov (In Russian and French w/ subtitles)
It's a wonder that the fall of communism hasn't spawned more lively black comedies like Goodbye Lenin!, Underground, and Children Of The Revolution: The inherent chaos of an entire way of life collapsing is fertile ground for bitter humor, and the attempts to survive in the aftermath naturally spawn a need for laugh-so-you-don't-cry catharsis. The French-Romanian co-production The Concert gives in to this dynamic, but takes it further, with a strong bent toward happy-ending wish-fulfillment. It acknowledges grief, horror, and loss, but never lets it get in the way of a big, bright laugh.
Aleksei Guskov stars as a former Bolshoi superstar conductor removed from his position in 1980 for ignoring Brezhnev's orders to eject the orchestra's Jewish musicians. Thirty hard-fought years of alcoholism, depression, and recovery later, he works as a janitor at the Bolshoi, which puts him in the perfect position to intercept a fax inviting the Bolshoi's orchestra to come perform in Paris. Rounding up old friends—and an old enemy, Valeriy Barinov, the party apparatchik who cut his final concert short 30 years ago—Guskov sets out to create a group that can impersonate the Bolshoi, travel to Paris, and present the Tchaikovsky concert he never got to finish in 1980.
Director and co-writer Radu Mihaileanu (who left his native Romania in 1980 under Nicolae Ceausescu, and took up residence in France) piles on the complications: a Jewish father-son duo in the orchestra looking for business opportunities in Paris, a huge Gypsy family along for the ride, an orphaned French superstar violinist (Inglorious Basterds' Mélanie Laurent) whose parentage is clearly a secret in Guskov's keeping. The first half of the film is a manic farce full of yelling and ridiculous comedy, as Barinov heaps vainglorious demands on the French, and Guskov tries to pull his makeshift orchestra together as they disintegrate into drunken revelry upon arrival in the west. But the second half finds a deeper drama and even a certain nostalgia for the communist era, as true-believer Barinov attempts to reignite communist fervor in Paris, and Guskov, also chasing a 30-year-old dream, comes to understand him a little better. The ending is so shamelessly corny that it's clearly all a fantasy, as contrived and sentimental a miracle as the end of The Music Man, but far more triumphant. It's a vindication for survivors of the fall of communism, and a promise, like any dark joke after tragedy—as long as we can keep laughing, everything will eventually be okay. It's a preposterous claim, but by never slowing down or blinking, Mihaileanu sells it for all it's worth.

Bringing the cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream to room temperature before blending results in a silky-smooth batter without any lumps.
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Finely grind crackers in a food processor. Add melted butter, brown sugar, zest, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; pulse until texture is like wet sand. Press evenly into bottom and halfway up sides of a buttered 9-inch springform pan. Bake until set, 12 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
2. Reduce temperature to 325 degrees. Beat cream cheese on medium speed until smooth. Gradually beat in granulated sugar until light and fluffy, 2 to 3 minutes. Beat in lemon juice and remaining 3/4 teaspoon salt. Beat in eggs, one at a time, then sour cream and vanilla until smooth.
4. Pour filling into pan (it should come right to top of rim) and smooth top with a small offset spatula.
5. Place springform pan in a roasting pan; transfer to oven. Pour enough boiling water into roasting pan to come halfway up sides of springform pan. Bake until cake is puffed and golden brown on top and slightly wobbly in center, 1 hour, 45 minutes to 2 hours.
6. Remove springform pan from roasting pan; let cool on a wire rack 20 minutes. Remove foil and run a paring knife around sides of pan to loosen. Let cool completely. Drape pan with plastic wrap; refrigerate until cold, at least 8 hours and up to 3 days. Remove cake from pan; serve.
Not only would I make this again, but I have -- time and time again. This is the perfect cheesecake recipe, and it's super easy to make. I've also made a salted caramel to go on top and a dark chocolate ganache, and when I made the cheesecake without the lemon zest/juice, it was great.
The best cheesecake ever!! I made this cheesecake for the 1st time and it was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Just a note: Once you put the cheesecake in the oven do not open the oven door! The cheesecake will crack on top! Happy Baking!


Today was a special day in the Tucker household. Heidi chose to be baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. We are so proud of her for making this commitment to follow our Savior.
She had two beautiful dresses to wear thanks to some wonderful Family friends.
We had lots of friends and family come for the event and it was wonderful to spend some time with them.
We may all not be very photogenic but we are all happy to be here. We are grateful for the wonderful person Heidi is turning into and can't believe that we are so lucky to be able to be her parents. She is really a light in our lives and hope that her baptism will be a stepping stone in her life to help her become a wonderful young lady.

Tag: Cadbury
If the purple colour may not be subject to the effect of time, trade marks certainly are
Tagged with Cadbury, colour purple, consumer & retail, Court Decisions, Court of Appeal, EU, Europe, Litigation, purple, trade marks
When it comes to non-traditional trade marks in the EU, the requirement of a clear and precise description can be quite complex to put into practice, as demonstrated in the recent UK Court of Appeal decision in Cadbury v The Comptroller General of Patents Designs and Trade Marks.
In 2013, in Cadbury v Nestle, the Court of Appeal held that the graphic representation and the description of the purple mark did not constitute a sign within section 1 of the Trade Marks Act but rather an attempt to register multiple signs with different permutations, presentations and appearances, which are neither graphically represented nor described with any precision.
As a result, Cadbury attempted to amend the (same) description of another of its colour marks, registered in 1998 and now at risk of invalidity as a consequence of the Cadbury v Nestle decision. However, both the Comptroller and the High Court denied Cadbury's request to amend the mark description.


While most product categories have seen skyrocketing eCommerce sales in recent years, consumer packaged goods (CPG) have been on a more subtle growth path. However, with all of the innovation happening around CPG, we at Syndy believe that there is a lot of untapped market potential still out there. Here are 5 ways in which CPG companies can drive eCommerce growth in 2017.
We've all heard about Mondelez's OREO Colorfilled campaign that allowed consumers to customise their OREO packagings online and get it delivered to their homes, or Unilever's acquisition of a razor subscription service called Dollar Shave Club for $1 billion. These are only a couple of better-known examples of recent direct-to-consumer (D2C) initiatives. It's obvious that, whether through the development of own offerings or new acquisitions, CPG companies are looking for ways to go directly to consumers, and there are a couple of good reasons why.
First, it's all about the consumers. They are getting more and more demanding, and this is not going to change anytime soon. When it comes to purchasing products, consumers expect convenience, personalization, accessibility and next-level digital experiences. On top of that, they expect brands to be talking directly to them in their preferred tone of voice. And since a number of vertical commerce CPG brands like Hello, Harry's, Glossier and others are doing this extremely well, there is an ever-growing pressure on the large CPG multinationals to counter-act it.
The current dynamics in the physical retail business are not in CPG companies' favour. Consumers increasingly prefer convenience stores in their neighbourhood to big stores outside the city, making shelf space scarce and expensive. Moreover, retailers are introducing more private-label brands and discounters are pushing the overall price levels down. This puts brand profits under constant pressure. So, cutting out the middleman (retailers) and going directly to consumers is a logical option for CPGs in order to keep their profit margins healthy.
Online marketplaces such as Amazon, eBay, Flipkart, and Alibaba are going to be one of the key channels driving CPG growth in 2017. In their most recent financial statement, Amazon reported to have increased their Q3 revenue by 26.7% compared to the same time last year. What's more important is that for the first time in history, 50% of all units were sold by independent vendors on Amazon's marketplace. It comes as no surprise that traditional retailers like Tesco, Harvey Nichols, Walmart and Target also want to expand their long tail product range and become marketplaces.
Consumers prefer online marketplaces because they can seamlessly shop for products sold by different vendors, finding almost everything they need in one place. On top of that, marketplaces usually offer convenient delivery options and high-end customer service, creating customer happiness and loyalty to the marketplace brand.
CPG companies that want to win in eCommerce have to constantly monitor their product performance, draw new insights and test variations of their product offerings, as well as always keep an eye on what their competition is up to. Accessing this data on a regular basis can be challenging and might require a combination of methods.
It's of key importance for CPG companies to gain access to shopper data across key retailer websites. Rich data can help consumer goods companies draw relevant insights about their offerings and thus understand which products and programmes truly drive incremental sales. Since this data lies with retailers, CPG companies need to focus on building relationships with them. One way to do this is to increasingly invest in online eCommerce specialists that work closely with online retailers or are even based in the same location.
According to McKinsey, CPG eCommerce winners applied 2.4 times more resources to working with online retailers in 2016 than those who did not do that well. By coordinating actions with retailers, CPG companies can be more effective in running product promotions online and tailoring offerings to different consumer segments. For example, CPG brands and retailers can work together to run push notifications to consumers while they are browsing on the retailer's website (based on their basket contents and shopping history) to drive sales of related brand products.
But there is more. Partnering up with tech companies that leverage modern web technologies is another way to access a significant chunk of data about your products across retailer websites. Business intelligence on product findability, product content quality, out of stock products, competitive pricing and best-selling products is as valuable as gold for companies that are ready to act on it. For example, companies that have a minimum advertised pricing (MAP) policy for their products find it extremely time-consuming to monitor whether each of their retailers is compliant. Tools like Profitero can automate this process and save CPG companies a ton of time and money.
Last but not least, companies that are developing their own eCommerce websites should leverage the data at their fingertips to drive personalization and customisation of their offerings, as well as focus on testing new products to find new growth opportunities.
Same as in traditional retail, eCommerce requires a tremendous amount of effort to help consumers find your products and help them make the purchasing decision.
Since the majority of CPG sales are still coming via retailers, pushing the boundaries of "perfect product pages" across retailer websites should be one of the top CPG priorities for increased sales uplift. Modern consumers expect nothing less but to be "wowed" and this requires rich product content. You can take care of your product pages by providing retailers with high-quality product images and product videos, product comparisons and consumer reviews, as well as unique and SEO ready textual content. (Tech companies like Syndy can make this process extremely quick and efficient).
To win in eCommerce it is also important to negotiate with retailers in order to get prime digital space on their website, especially the homepage. Whether it's being included in recommendations to consumers for the next-best purchase, in favourites lists or bundled deals, CPGs should tirelessly work to get their products pushed to consumers.
CPG companies should not forget about creating a buzz around products and driving discoverability. Social media presence is key here. People have always looked to their networks for trusted recommendations and it's still true for the digital age. Companies should be capitalising on accessible platforms like YouTube. Just remember how the Dollar Shave Club led a masterclass in social media with their hilarious video introducing their brand: "our blades are f**king great." And with tech solutions like Channelsight you can drive consumers from social media directly to the online point of sale.
There are going to be 26 billion connected devices in the world by 2020. The upcoming wave from the Internet of Things (IoT), or connected home devices that can collect and transmit consumer data, is already firing up fierce discussions among retail experts.
Research conducted by Salmon found that 57% of consumers will be ready for automated purchasing within the next two years. This suggests that consumers that have adopted E-Commerce because of its benefits, including time-saving, convenience and enjoyment, are willing to go one step further and fully automate their shopping routines. According to Salmon, CPG product categories such as household supplies (54%), food and drink (54%) and beauty, healthcare and personal hygiene products (34%) will be the first to get into their programmatic eCommerce loops.
Even though it's still far from becoming a mass phenomenon, CPG companies should not get too comfortable. We've already seen examples of companies that have successfully introduced connected home devices to drive their product sales. For example, Amazon has rolled out its Amazon Dash, a portable button connected to your Amazon account, that allows consumers to order CPG products such as detergent or cleaning products with a single click of a button. Or Nestlé, that recently introduced a Nespresso coffee machine, Prodigio, that connects to an app on a consumer's phone. Prodigio keeps count of how many capsules have been used, alerts the consumer when they are running low and offers a one-touch re-order button.
Syndy is a product marketing tool for brands to distribute, optimize and manage product content across retailer websites, helping to grow online sales and drive efficiencies.

Home owners who have recently moved into a new neighborhood may want to consider solidly built door locks for their own security. The best locks will latch firmly into place. If a key happens to break in the lock, though, men and women will need to call in a professional to get the broken component out. If the lock itself has been damaged, a new one should be installed right away. There are many different brands out there, and finding a locksmith in Peoria to perform the actual installation work should not be difficult.
Having secure locking mechanisms on both the front and back doors is something that should not be taken lightly. Though break-ins were less common many decades ago, there seems to be widespread acceptance that crime is generally on the upswing, especially in certain towns and cities. Having an extra bit of security will keep robbers from stealing precious items from the residence. If families will shortly be taking a vacation somewhere exotic, they should double-check their doors before they go. This is especially crucial if the vacation itself is to last more than a few days.
Locks can also be used for a general peace of mind. If any of the family members had been previously involved with a burglary either at work or at home, then a series of deadbolts can be attached to the doors and perhaps even the windows of the residence. As long as the bolts are engaged during the night hours when everyone is sleeping, there should be no problems. Some individuals choose to augment their door locks with an alarm system, which will alert the family to danger if a burglar breaks through the first line of defense.
Chain devices might even be used for some extra security. These contraptions allow the door to be opened slightly so that residents can peer outside. Chains are often found in hotels and apartment complexes, but there is no reason they can't also be used in a stand-alone dwelling. Most men and women will want a professional to install such a device so that the wall itself is not damaged. A locksmith in Peoria, for example, will be able to place a metal bracket in the wall, which will serve as the support base for the system. Different materials are available, but brass is commonly used for both its strength and its aesthetic qualities.
When men and women choose a lock, they may want to install a new front door at the same time. If the current door is of an old style, then it can be ripped out and disposed of. A new door, preferably one that is made of elegant wood and beautifully stained glass, can be installed instead. If stained glass does not fit their personal style, they can use regular glass as a fallback option.
Professional locksmiths are beneficial to the process because they will be eminently aware of which locks should be used in certain situations. They will likely have a catalogue of brands to choose from and will already be tapped into the network of providers. Once home owners decide on a particular model, they can ensure that the requested device is delivered within only a few business days. Men and women who have recently seen an increase in crime in the neighborhood may even want to consider a double lock. Most professionals will be able to perform the extra installation work in a number of hours. Afterwards, individuals can go on with their lives without worry.
Hello! Just a quick note to let you know that I have new products coming soon – all within the health category, and some electronics. I should be adding those within the next week or two, so stay tuned!
The cufflinks I added earlier this year are doing very well! Gunmetal is definitely the most popular color, and my personal favorite as well 🙂 Apparently Rose Gold is not really a commanding color for these very authoritative cufflinks, but I did think it made a nice statement.
I've only got gloves right now, but a few of you have requested striped socks recently. I did stock socks and stockings a little over a year ago, and while the sales went well, my primary supplier seems to have disappeared and I was distracted by several other products while trying to find a replacement. Don't worry, as I'm sure you can find striped socks at one of our sponsored retailers, Dapper Classics (dapperclassics.com).
Tube top dresses are great year round, they can be accessorized with sweaters, bomber jackets or blouses for a fun and comfortable layered look. The choices are limited only by your imagination.
Open shoulder apparel has been a huge comeback into the closets of young American women, especially in colleges around the country. Bare shoulders and the long, graceful arc of the neck is a feminine erogenous zone that has long held an appeal to young men who can appreciate beauty.
These dresses also come with spaghetti shoulder straps for extra security and peace of mind. Each is made in Hawaii (ethnic dresses made worldwide), and come in long, tea, and short as you dare lengths.

Q: Using Jackson annotations to serialise objects to XML I'm using Spring and Jackson to serialise objects before returning them as XML as part of an API. The Jackson documentation outlines that the root element name returned should match that of the object's class name.
I have the following model. I've explicitly set the root element to equal 'product'.
package example.models;

import com.fasterxml.jackson.dataformat.xml.annotation.JacksonXmlRootElement;
import lombok.Data;
import org.hibernate.annotations.CreationTimestamp;
import org.hibernate.annotations.UpdateTimestamp;

import javax.persistence.*;
import java.util.Date;

@Data
@Entity
@Table(name = "products")
@JacksonXmlRootElement(localName = "product")
public class Product {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(strategy = GenerationType.IDENTITY)
    private Long id;

    private String name;

    @CreationTimestamp
    private Date createdAt;

    @UpdateTimestamp
    private Date updatedAt;
}

In my controller, I'm returning a response containing the list of products retrieved.
package example.controllers;
import lombok.RequiredArgsConstructor;
import org.springframework.http.ResponseEntity;
import org.springframework.web.bind.annotation.*;

import java.util.List;
import java.util.Optional;

@RestController
@RequestMapping("/api/products")
@RequiredArgsConstructor
public class ProductController {
    private final ProductRepository productRepository;

    @GetMapping(path = "/{id}", produces = {"application/json", "application/xml"})
    public ResponseEntity<Optional<Product>> getProduct(@PathVariable Long id) {
        return ResponseEntity.ok(this.productRepository.findById(id));
    }
}

When I hit the endpoint, /api/products/1 I get:
<Optional>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Example</name>
    <createdAt>2019-12-18T12:44:12.536+0000</createdAt>
    <updatedAt>2019-12-18T12:44:12.536+0000</updatedAt>
</Optional>

Although, I'm expecting:
<product>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Example</name>
    <createdAt>2019-12-18T12:44:12.536+0000</createdAt>
    <updatedAt>2019-12-18T12:44:12.536+0000</updatedAt>
</product>

How can I use Jackson/jackson-dataformat-xml to achieve this as it looks like my annotations have no effect?

A: Change the endpoint to return a Product instead of Optional.
@GetMapping(path = "/{id}", produces = {"application/json", "application/xml"})
public ResponseEntity<Product> getProduct(@PathVariable Long id) {
    return ResponseEntity.ok(this.productRepository.findById(id).get());
}

Note: Optional.get() is used here for simplicity. The case of having no Product should be properly handled with Optional methods like isPresent() or orElse().

Our goal is clear: To attract quality traffic, improve visibility and your website indexing in Google.
At a global level Google is "the search engine". With more than 64% of the global searches and more than 91% of the UK searches, if your aim is an English or spanish speaking market, Google is the search engine of choice.
Is it important to be on the first positions at Google search results?
It could be the difference between a project that makes sales or one that doesn't. But be careful, the important thing is not to be on the top positions for any criteria. Choosing keywords that provide SALES is essential. Is useless to attract visitors that don't convert or to have keywords on the top positions if they don't report quality visits to the website.
The difficulty of the position is not to get the position itself, is choosing keywords that turn into sales. The SEO audit is the first step in any popularity campaign and it defines where the niche market is.
In the same way, you should not be obsessed about the position of one or ten keywords, because it is possible that the sale of your business is best for long tail keywords(3 to 6 words) and may represent about the 80% of the traffic in a website with a lot of information.
Search engine optimization is an integral part of an online marketing plan and should not be understood as an isolated activity otherwise it is doomed to failure. The website positioning strategy definition is unique for each case. This is because the market, the competitors, the strengths and weakness of the company are also unique for each case.
KPI SEO. Website objectives (online sales, leads, customer calls, page views/ads…). Visits should never be an objective as such.
Keyword research: Website criteria-study based on customer experience, search traffic volume, PPC conversions, benchmark keyword research.
Website optimization: You can not run if you still can´t walk. If your website is not optimized for search engines it is much more difficult to obtain results, and in some markets it's even impossible.
Resources: To know what resources you count on may allow you to focus better on your strategy. There's never a single solution to a problem and to know your strengths will allow you to take the right path.
Monitoring, analysis and correction: Search engine optimization is constantly changing and you cannot have a strategy that goes beyond 4 or 5 months. Analysis of results and modifications as the market and the algorithm change must be constantly executed.

These people are thought to know most about fairyland and its inhabitants. But, in the Yellow Fairy Book, and the rest, are many tales by persons who are neither savages nor rustics, such as Madame D'Aulnoy and Herr Hans Christian Andersen. The Folk Lore Society, or its president, say that their tales are not so true as the rest, and should not be published with the rest. But we say that all the stories which are pleasant to read are quite true enough for us; so here they are, with pictures by Mr. Ford, and we do not think that either the pictures or the stories are likely to mislead children.
