Rupert Murdoch may despise Google News, but he also knows he needs it.
Can Microsoft's (MSFT) Bing search engine buy its way to the top? According to the Financial Times, it may be trying to do just that by paying News Corporation (NWS) and other news content providers to remove themselves from Google (GOOG) and stick with Bing.
But don't believe the hype. News Corp Chairman Rupert Murdoch is among the biggest Google critics out there, but there's almost zero chance that his media properties will ever exit Google.
Murdoch has long held the notion that Google News is somehow stealing his content. We know this isn't true because Google News doesn't host content -- it simply sends traffic to news sites. About 100,000 visitors click on a Google News headline every minute.
If Murdoch really thought his argument held water, his sites would have been pulled from Google a long time ago. After all, he should be well aware that getting out of Google takes nothing more than a couple lines of code.
According to Alexa.com, the New York Post's site gets 18% of its visitors from Google. WSJ.com? A whopping 26%. And The Daily Telegraph? 23% of its site visitors come from Google.
Alexa's data aren't perfect, but you get the point -- Google sends a lot of people to News Corp properties. Rupert's not about to cripple his sites' traffic by cutting off Google-driven visitors.
The newspaper industry needs revenue and opting out of Google is obviously not the answer. If News Corp pulls its sites from Google, Web market share will simply shift to the New York Times (NYT) or whoever else is still in there.
Murdoch has publicly stated on many occasions that he wants to expand News Corp's paid online offerings, and it's going to need fresh eyeballs to serve as potential customers. Natural search traffic is the best place to grab those eyeballs. Murdoch shouldn't view Google as an enemy, but as a potential source of new, paying subscribers to News Corp sites.
I won't deny that Murdoch does have some real enemies on the Web. There are a small minority of corrupt bloggers that steal entire stories from legitimate sites and republish them to earn ad revenue. This is where News Corp and other newspaper companies should be directing their anger. They should be banding together with Google, Yahoo (YHOO), and Microsoft to ban copyright violators from search engines and Web advertising programs.
The other side of this story is what it says about Microsoft. Does it really make sense for such an image-challenged company to mess with Google News -- a service that millions of people love? I certainly don't think so.

Q: Loop through array to find results from formulas I have a column that has text in some cells and formulas in the others. When I'm trying to loop through an array to search for some values in the columns, I can't seem to reference the values as a result of formulas. For example, I'm trying to do conditional statements like If arr(i, 15) = "String" Then but String is the result of a Vlookup.
printing the entire array gives me the formulas, not the results
Sub test()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim arr As Variant

Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
arr = ws.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Formula

For i = LBound(arr, 1) To UBound(arr, 1)

    If Not IsError(arr(i, 15)) Then 'Some of the values are #NA
            Debug.Print arr(i, 15)
    End If

Next i

End Sub

A: If you only want to obtain value from cells formula not result in error, probably array may not suitable in such case, use For loop will achieve your expected input also. In my example, Range("E3) is not printed due to error, you can combine with lastrow for dynamic range:

I add version 2 here for using array looping, the outcome skip to print Range("E2") due to error, hope it help :)
 Sub test()

Dim ws As Worksheet
Dim arr As Variant
Dim i As Long
Dim textValue As String

Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet2")
arr = ws.Range("D1").CurrentRegion.Value

For i = LBound(arr) To UBound(arr)
   textValue = CStr(arr(i, 2))

    If InStr(textValue, "Error") <= 0 Then 'Some of the values are #NA
            Debug.Print textValue
    End If

Next i

End Sub

A: your code has an End If without if
To get the value of the formula, use Evaluate(formula), this line only work if send a formula as parameter, use on error resume next if is possible to sent errors, empty values or not formula values... Good Luck
Sub test()

    Dim ws As Worksheet
    Dim arr As Variant

    Set ws = ThisWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1")
    arr = ws.Range("A1").CurrentRegion.Formula

    For i = LBound(arr, 1) To UBound(arr, 1)
        On Error Resume Next
        If Not IsError(arr(i, 15)) Then 'Some of the values are #
            Debug.Print Evaluate(arr(i, 15))
       'End If
        End If
    Next I

Everyone has their guilty pleasures. Maybe it's peanut butter by the spoonful or deep fried pizza wrapped in bacon.....or Toddlers and Tiaras (I won't judge). How about video games. Which video game do you hate to admit to enjoying and in full public view of your real identity, wouldn't normally admit to?
I'll start: Whiplash. It was a bit sadistic and a PETA members nightmare but man that game was hilarious. The gameplay? Meh. Nothing to write home about. The rabbits' one-liners on the other hand; I don't know but for some reason he cracked me up. I realize the game isn't one of those games that everyone talked about so here is a short synopsis. You play the role of a lab weasel(?) and you are chained to a talking rabbit. You have broken free of some animal testing lab and you basically use the rabbit as a mace/flail as you beat security guards left and right in search of the boss (who I think turns out to be a monkey). I think you could also use him for zip lining and you could twirl him over fans to elevate. As you beat the guards with the rabbit, he spews out crack after crack. I would beat him against random objects just to hear him sometimes. It was the only redeeming part of the game, really. Never finished it but the memories of that rabbit will both haunt and humor me for the rest of my days. The game also features an 'announcer-guy' voice over the corporate speakers like a mall announcement giving details of the corporations exploits. Those too, were hilarious.
Magic the gathering xbla. It is considered to be a nerdy game by most of friends. I tried the arcade version and enjoyed it for a while but lost intrest in the game as a whole.
I'm going to say Trouble Witches Neo! because that's the only thing I can think of and I'm playing it alot.
It's a great schump. But the English-localized voices are horrendous, almost as bad as Castle Shikigami 2. Good thing the Japanese voice acting is in it.
I would highly suggest it if you like horizontal shoot-'em-ups.
Agree with the 2 listed above; Viva Pinata and Two Worlds. And OP, deep fried pizza sounds really good. Especially since it's lunch time.
Vva Pinata, Two and many others . I don't feel ashamed for play video games that's why i bought a console. Nobody gives me money to buy games so i pass their opinion about my games played for where the sun never shines.
I'm also giving a nod to Viva Pinata.

The album's 11 new songs – produced by salsa master Sergio George, who has worked with Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, Marc Anthony and Jennifer Lopez, among many others – embrace her Mexican roots and also incorporate influences from Cuba, Puerto Rico and Colombia.
Thalía – who in 2000 married powerhouse music mogul Tommy Mottola, who is widely credited with creating pop music's Latin Explosion – talked to Miami.com about the tour, her love for her fans, her fashion line, dancing with President Obama, and why she'd love to sing with Aerosmith's Steven Tyler.
What can your fans expect from this show?
A lot of complicity, a lot of happiness, freedom – it's like a big party with friends and family. It's a beautiful, beautiful experience, especially for me, to have them in front of me and to sing each and every song that we create together with so much passion.
It sounds almost like a family get-together with you and your fans.
You know what? It's totally like that, like a family, love-affair experience – it's just like a clan, a reunion, and having a big, huge, humongous party. And this tour will be more in the world of my newest album, "Latina," and a review of my oldies, from the first albums, including one of the most important, called "Love." So it's a mixture of the old and the new, and all the hope and the love for the future to come.
How much of "Latina" will we hear, and what were you going for with the album?
This tour, I want you to feel good and to feel happy and light. This was my intention when I prepared and organized the set list, and I talked to my band and the engineers and the lighting people – I just want everybody to have a happy experience, something that makes them feel lighter when they leave. Because I think right now in life and the world, everywhere you turn, everything is very negative, a lot of sadness in the news around us. So I wanna keep my music with a little ray of light and hope and happiness.
You're known as both the Queen of Latin Pop and the Queen of Telenovelas. Is there one you identify most with?
Two crowns! [Laughs] I don't have the space in one head for two crowns! But with this question, the answer came immediately with the image of Lady Diana saying, "I just wanna be the Queen in the hearts of my people." But as long as you are in a special corner where someone thinks about you with love and hears your songs and has a feeling in their heart, then that's my biggest reward in my life.
Miami is one of six stops on this tour. What is special about Miami to you?
I'm so excited about going there and singing – it's really an experience I can't wait to have for many reasons. First of all, I love Miami – I love the city. There's a fusion of many Latin cultures there – it's like Latin America in the United States. And it feels like home.
And another reason is people in Miami just love to party and love to have fun, and feel a release from the day and go and dance. And we're gonna have that together with this show, face to face, singing, dancing, sweating and jumping together.
People en Español named you one of the 25 most powerful Latinas. Do you feel a sense of responsibility toward the community because of that?
I feel a responsibility in general, because once you are in a place where you can expose your feelings, your ideas, your emotions to people, then you have a responsibility to say something that will help someone, or empower someone, or make someone feel that they can overcome obstacles. And I think that through example, you can be very influential in someone's life, and that's the responsibility we have. And I think it's beautiful to be part of that, a world full of possibilities.
What inspired you to go into fashion?
You know, what – I always loved fashion, ever since I had a Barbie when I was a little girl, and I always remember that I would undress the doll and look at the clothes, and then cut it, and then add little fabrics and colors, and then glue glitter and then I'd dress her again in my style. I always wanted to do something different with fashion, and now that I have this huge opportunity in Macy's with a collection that has shoes, accessories, clothing – I think it's a big privilege, a big dream that I'm achieving. Not for me, but just for the Latin woman, to have a nice presence in a very iconic store like Macy's.
With all of your different endeavors, what are you most proud of?
Oh my God. Of course, from a personal aspect, being a mother. My kids are my life, my eyes, my smile, everything. And in a professional aspect, I just want to be an example of possibilities, that everything you dream could be achievable. Every desire in your soul and in your heart – if you study, if you get prepared, and you learn and you get out there and fight for it, you really can achieve your dreams.
Name three musicians – alive or dead – that you'd love to work with.
Number one, I think Sade, because I love her music and her voice. The other one would be Steven Tyler because I love Aerosmith, and I have a very crazy rock-'n'-roll side inside of me. And then, I always liked the idea of singing with Vicente Fernández, some kind of beautiful ranchera ballad, or mariachi ballad. So those are my top three. Totally different, all three!
You were invited to the White House, and you met President Obama, and you asked him to dance. What made you do that?
I just get crazy. I don't know – sometimes I just go with my impulses and instincts. And that was an impulse. I was there, and the security team told me you're just allowed to stand on the stage, and then from there you go back to the Green Room. But when they tell me that I have limitations, I think subconsciously I push myself to break them, and that's why I came down and asked Michelle [Obama] if I could dance with her husband. And it brought a lot of smiles to people's faces, and I think it was very cool.

I wanted to "thank you" for your counseling and legal services you provided over the past year. Your expertise, knowledge and understanding of how large insurance companies manage their LTD benefits claims, and use certain tactics by way of requirements and "additional information required" in order to either delay or deny claims is unsurpassed.
Keith Martin is as good as it gets in terms of effective and experienced counsel, especially on matters requiring ERISA related cases and understanding of the handling disability cases. I worked for 40 years and always felt comfortable knowing that the group plan my employer purchased an insurance policy for long term disability was my safety net in case anything happened to me. When my Doctor's put me on disability I filed a claim with the insurance company only to be denied. They were obviously just trying take advantage of me. I was devastated and did not have the strength to take on a large insurance company.
I met with Keith and he immediately started to develop a plan of action to protest the insurance company's decision. His aggressive, never give up attitude along with his extensive knowledge and experience in handling these cases resulted in having the insurance company's decision overturned. Another aspect of this firm is the open line of communication both from them in updating me on the status of the claim and answering my questions anytime in a timely fashion. This saved our family from deep financial stress. I can only speak of him in superlatives. His teams' hard work and determination got us the safety net I was entitled. There is simply no better team to advise, and act on your behalf to get you the justice you deserve.
I was a director of a vacation resort and became disabled as a result of a failed neck surgery. I suffer with lifetime pain and need daily narcotic medications to make it through the day. My employer's disability company denied me long term disability benefits. I had let another lawyer file my appeal and lost. I called Keith who miraculously convinced the insurance carrier to allow a second appeal not specified in my insurance contract. Keith's appeal was so convincing and overwhelming, the insurance carrier basically threw in their cards and the case settled after a judicial mediation.
I was a scientist with a major pharmaceutical company. I suffered with severe depression that disabled me from my occupation. After paying two years of benefits for my inability to do my own job, my insurance company denied me benefits. I learned that my employer's disability was covered by a law known as ERISA and, therefore, after two years I only was entitled to benefits if I could no longer work any job that existed and I could do based on my education, training and experience. My employer's disability company believed, contrary to my doctors, that I could work many jobs. I was denied the benefits I deserved and felt like the insurance company took advantage of me in failing to explain what I needed to prove to obtain my deserved benefits as well as failed to acknowledge my condition. Keith Martin worked with my doctors as well as employing various other experts and was successful in my appeal for benefits. I have been on claim now for many years and feel confident that this will continue with Keith on my side. He proved my condition is permanent and the insurance company is continually paying what I am owed.
I was a machinist employed as an independent contractor disabled due to vascular and pulmonary disease. Over the years. I had purchased various individual disability policies and was covered by a group policy with the company I was working for at the time of my disability. The policies were confusing to me, both as to the definitions of disability and as to the effects of each policy on the amounts I was due in benefits. Keith took the time to meet with me after reading the policies and explained everything to me clearly. He was able to obtain for me the full benefit under one policy, settled for a lump sum on the second policy and I have been on claim and receiving monthly benefits for years on the third policy.
I was an anesthesiologist disabled due to a heart condition. My private disability company approached me about a lump sum buyout of my policy. I was thinking of taking the insurance company offer although I felt it probably was not enough. My sister is a physician that Mr. Martin previously represented successfully after being denied benefits after thoracic outlet surgery. Keith explained to me how the insurance carrier arrives at lump sum settlement figures. Thereafter, Keith had my records examined by one of the top cardiologists in the country to render a report that my mortality rate was actually lower than the insurance company doctor said it was. As a result, Keith obtained for me a settlement twice what was previously offered.
I was the director of development at a major pharmaceutical company. I suffer with fibromyalgia and depression. I was denied benefits under my employer's ERISA policy after being on claim for four years. My insurance carrier said there were many jobs I could do after video surveillance of me. Keith Martin obtained no less than eight experts to help me win my case. Keith leaves no stone unturned.
I was a nurse denied long-term disability benefits. Keith Martin won my appeal and then settled my case for a large lump sum. It was all overwhelming for me and Keith took care of everything promptly and to my satisfaction. I am now retired after relocating South where it is more conducive to my back injury. Keith made it possible.
I was a purchasing manager for a medical device company. I suffered with brachial plexus and musculoskeletal injury. My case was first appealed by another lawyer and I lost. He referred me to Keith Martin for a second appeal allowed under my policy. Keith, as opposed to other lawyers, listened to my thoughts and ran with them. He was thorough and understood the nuances of my policy. Other lawyers say they can handle the claim but Keith had the real expertise to do so and proved it when he won my claim for back benefits. After that, my claim settled for a large lump sum. I am now retired in Florida. Without Keith this would not have been possible.
I was a self-employed salesman of medical equipment. I had an own occupation private disability policy and was on claim for six years due to a hormonal disorder. After many insurance company medical exams and video surveillance I was denied benefits. My first lawyer lost my appeal. He then referred me to Keith Martin. Keith contacted all my doctors and employed a litany of other experts. He was dogged in pursuit of my claim and won my appeal. Back benefits were paid and I settled with the insurance company for a large sum. Keith delivers.
I had been a scientist and living in Connecticut and working for a major pharmaceutical company. I was diagnosed with a severe mental disability. When my condition got debilitating, I applied for Long Term Disability benefits through my insurance company and after 45 days my application was denied. I was devastated and felt as if I was being discriminated against or was being robbed of the very benefits I was paying for on a monthly basis.
I was referred to attorney Keith Martin who is a Disability case Lawyer who represented me and won my case within a few months. I have been a client of attorney martin for 3 years now and have been very pleased with the service he and his staff provide.
I have found them to be very professional and ethical. They are extremely knowledgeable in the segment of the law that they practice, which is Long Term Disability.
I worked as a project coordinator for a major communications company. I suffer with fibromyalgia and depression. My company denied my claim for Long Term Disability benefits. My first lawyer handled my appeal and did not employ any experts. Keith Martin handled my second appeal aggressively and secured the payment of my back benefits in addition to the current monthly benefit payments I receive. I am very thankful for Mr. Martin.


There's a green-guy winking at me....and Mr. AMW's not even a bit jealous!
You got that right! One of the new gadget I currently own is an iPad2. I've been enjoying this gadget so much that I did not get the chance to blog about it yet as there's just so much to say! Well another reason is, I'm busy playing games and watching my favorite movies! Everything's just easier with an iPad2. A more comprehensive review on it will be up in the future, for now, let's get back to the guy who stole my heart!
Introducing iGuy - the freestanding foam case for iPad and iPad 2 with tons of personality! Every bit protective as he is a blast to use, iGuy is the perfect iPad accessory for kids and grownups alike. He's lightweight, easy to hold, and he can stand on his own two feet, even while holding up your iPad.
Dimensions: 2.0" x 15.5" x 9.5"
Just the look of this can make me smile!
Soft cover makes it easy to hold.
The 2 hands of iGuy may be cute to look at but its functional in the sense that I can easily grip my iPad2 without holding onto the product itself.
iGuy at first glance is super bulky but I find it just right. It gives the right amount of protection to my prized possession preventing it from damage due to accidental drop or bump.
All ports and buttons are accessible and fits perfectly!
Though the arm of iGuy is a bit too flexible for my taste, it doesn't tear or create wrinkles. It goes back to its original shape.
I'm not sure if its just me but the sounds of my iPad2 is louder with the iGuy on!
Since the iGuy has legs, I find it easier to watch my favorite YouTube videos, play games with it on my lap as it's "higher".
Ok, I watch most of the Keroro Gunso episodes here!
Priced reasonably! I've seen other iPad cases and they can even get more expensive than this and the protection isn't as good.
I want more colors available! Would love it if they have this in red!
Since I love playing Words with Friends, its on a portrait mode. iGuy can't stand on "portrait" mode.
Putting the iPad2 in is a bit too difficult for me, my screen-protector almost peeled! (I must be super amateur on handling an iPad).
It all started when I'm always feeling sleepy after just an hour of watching my favorite shows. After I used the Speck iGuy for my iPad/iPad2, I am more relaxed and I am actually looking forward to use my iPad2! Okay, correct me if I'm wrong, I must put this on the "CON" portion as I'm sleeping as late as 2:00am every night as I don't feel much strain on my eyes!
This thing may look childish but believe me when I say --- it's a must if you prefer to keep your iPad at home!
Though all sides of the iPad are protected with the iGuy, the screen portion isn't so I suggest to put a protective "laptop bag" or "foam" on top during storage to prevent accident.
Wipe your iGuy every now and then with damp wash cloth to prevent it from getting dirty! The neon colors are cute when they're clean!
Anyone who owns an iPad or iPad2 and likes to watch movies, videos or play games at the comfort of their home.
Best if you have an iPad/iPad2 for your kids! Gives nice protection.
Reasonably priced at Php1,450.00 (approx $33.70) available at the following stores: Beyond The Box, Digital Hub, Digital Hub-CDO, Digital Walker, E-Central-Cebu, Gui - Davao, iCenter-Cebu, iCenter-Davao, iCenter- Iloilo, Inbox Store, Power Hub-Davao, Power Mac Center, Sencolink, Switch, Technoholics and The A-Shop.
I wouldn't mind spending a bit on protection for a pricey gadget.
How about you? What's your cute gadget protection lately?
that is one cute "guy" indeed hehe.
i love playing Plants vs Zombies on iPad2, di pa rin ako sawa hehe! am left behind what good games can be played there, mga anak ko ang knowledgeable lol!
@MereMakeupManiac hahahaha, well I'm done with Plants vs Zombies coz I played it twice na! hahahah pero you're right, it's one game we really won't get tired to play!!!

Windows 10 command prompt: What is it and how does it work?
We take a look at one of the most basic - and most powerful - features in Windows 10
Command prompt, or CMD, might be one of the most basic features you'll find in Windows 10, but it's also one of the most powerful.
Though it can be intimidating due to the technical know-how required in order to operate it, command prompt allows users to carry out a host of different tasks on Windows machines. It can be used to create bespoke shortcuts - for shutting down your computer, for example - that can be pinned to the taskbar, or it can be used to show you a host of information about your PC, be it network statistics or power efficiency reports.
Best Windows 10 laptops
Windows 10 command prompt can carry out more advanced actions that aren't necessarily available using the graphical user interface (GUI) of Windows 10.
Although Microsoft has recently taken steps to make the rest of Windows 10 prettier and easier to use, with an enhanced UI and the addition of natural language processing (NLP), the command prompt has been left out of the revamp; it just as rough and ready as it always has been.
Still, It supports a whole host of shortcuts, in most cases making it much quicker to use than to navigate through the menus and core of Windows 10.
Want to explore the real power of Windows command prompt? Read on to find out how it can quite possibly, change your experience of Windows 10.
What is the command prompt?
The command prompt will never win awards for its looks, but the programme is instantly recognisable to even the most neophyte of Windows users. At this point, you may feel reluctant to type in a command for fear of ruining your computer, but will a little training, you can come to love this tool
The command prompt can be used to type out commands and execute them, which can be particularly useful for automating tasks via scripts and batch files, as well as carrying out advanced administrative functions and fixing many problems in Windows.
How do I open the command prompt?
There are many different ways to open the program, the simplest of which involves simply typing 'command prompt' or 'cmd' into the Windows 10 search bar and it will be the top result. If you like your keyboard shortcuts, Windows+X will open the Power Users menu from which command prompt can be launched with one click.
If you want to make serious changes to your system using command prompt, you'll most likely have to run as administrator. This can be done in either of the previous two methods by either right-clicking the icon in search or by selecting the admin option from the Power Users menu.
It can also be done through Task Manager: simply open it up, open the 'File' menu and CTRL+click 'Run New Task' to immediately launch command prompt as administrator.

How does the command prompt work and why would you use it?
The command prompt works at a more basic level than Windows, but that's is not to say it isn't powerful. It means you gain more control over the PC and communicate with it in a more direct way. Aside from common commands (dir, cd, copy, del), it can be used to access parts of the operating system that is not available to the graphical user interface.
It can be used to perform a variety of functions, sometimes using it is quicker or even the only way to access certain information or functions.
In addition to the commands mentioned above (which show file directory listings, changes file directories, copies files, and delete them.) There are a number of other useful commands such as ipconfig (which shows what IP address a computer has), Tracert (which shows information on each step between the computer and a target host elsewhere on the internet such as a website), and the system file checker (sfc), which finds any corrupt or missing files, and automatically replaces them using cached copies kept by Windows.
What about Windows Powershell?
The Command Prompt has been around forever, but with Windows 10, Microsoft is trying to make PowerShell the main command shell in the operating system. This offers a very rich set of commands (called cmdlets) that are more integrated with Windows and most Microsoft products. These cmdlets are functions that exist inside compiled DLLs on a system. Its primary purpose is to not only replace the Command Prompt but also batch files and VB scripts.

Self-storage has always been a handy solution to get rid the excess, but not everyone seems to be a fan of this service. Many Australians never fail to find one reason not to rent a unit—even if they have more reasons to do it. It may be understandable if you've had some bad experience in the past, but not all facilities are the same.
This holds true you if move across the country or overseas without taking your belongings with you. But when it comes to accessibility, storage facilities these days are generally considerate. They're in the business of de-cluttering your life, which is why they wouldn't let a silly office hour to get in your way to living your life as you wish.
Many facilities offer round-the-clock access, allowing you to get a hold of your belongings whenever you please. They, of course, always have some staff on duty for your assistance 24/7.
Most Sydney, Adelaide and Perth Perth storage units are already pest-proof. Then again, you must exercise your due diligence when choosing who to trust. Don't rely on the pictures they show on their site alone; pay a visit, and see the facility with your own eyes. Any self-respecting facility would even encourage you to take a peek first before you sign on the dotted line.
If this is your only problem, then write everything down and put it somewhere you can easily see. Actually, this may be more of a gift than a curse: forgetting about the things you don't regularly need.
Self-storage is a useful service to eliminate the unnecessary—for now. It's natural to have doubts sometimes, but never count out the truth it's beneficial to you when the need arises.

Milk: Now Available in Department Stores!
SOURCE: California Milk Processor Board - GOT MILK?
SAN CLEMENTE, CA--(Marketwire - March 29, 2010) - It's not something you'd expect to see at the cosmetic section at a department store: a milk counter. But it's precisely what the California Milk Processor Board (CMPB), the creator of GOT MILK? and TOMA LECHE (Drink Milk), will be introducing starting this week at select shopping centers near you. The advertiser wants Californians to know that beauty comes from the inside out and proper nutrition with milk is key to achieving radiant skin and healthy hair and nails.
"It may come as a surprise to many shoppers," says Steve James, executive director of the CMPB. "But sometimes this element of surprise is integral to changing people's perception about beauty, and that you don't have to spend a fortune to look beautiful. It all starts with drinking milk."
The GOT MILK?/TOMA LECHE BEAUTY BY MILK counter will provide consumers an interactive experience where they can learn about the benefits of the "wonder tonic." Beauty consultants will be on hand to provide a booklet of tips to keep skin, hair and nails healthy. Shoppers can relax at a lounge area while being served milk-based drinks. Guests can also experience a virtual makeover during their free visit.
"We've never done this type of experiential marketing before," says James. "The uniqueness of this grassroots outreach and its placement is intended to bring home the message that consumers just need to open the fridge and grab that good old fashioned milk for better health and beauty."
The BEAUTY BY MILK counter is part of a larger advertising campaign by the CMPB. This year's campaign focuses on educating consumers that milk is not just about building strong bones. It has a host of other beauty benefits and this theme currently runs on English and Spanish-language television, radio and online advertisements.

Can ETFs Provide Downside Protection?
Investors embrace risk during periods of strong returns in equities, but they run away from it when the stock market turns volatile.
Finding a strategy or fund that captures most of the upside while significantly limiting losses is obviously appealing.
Instead of looking for a product that promises downside protection, I would suggest you simply use traditional ETFs for equities but combine these with some fixed income (bonds, GICs or cash).
Q. We would like to find a product that will offer good, solid downside protection. I purchased the Invesco S&P 500 Downside Hedged Portfolio ETF (NYSEARCA:PHDG), but I'm not sure if just leaving it in our portfolio is a good idea. We have a small account and never use stop losses, so we need a good product.
A. "Downside protection" sounds like a wonderful thing. Investors embrace risk during periods of strong returns in equities, but they run away from it when the stock market turns volatile. Finding a strategy or fund that captures most of the upside while significantly limiting losses is obviously appealing. Unfortunately, Rena, it's fantasy.
Not that there's any lack of advisors or products making that promise. The ETF you are using, the Invesco S&P 500 Downside Hedged ETF, is one of these. The fund's literature says it "seeks to achieve positive total returns in rising or falling markets," and who wouldn't be happy with that? The ETF's strategy is to buy some combination of the stocks in the S&P 500 Index and futures contracts tied to the CBOE Volatility Index, nicknamed the VIX. The VIX measures the volatility of the U.S. stock market, so it spikes during periods of stress and fear. During a sharp market downturn, a futures contract pegged to the VIX would go up in value, providing the downside protection this ETF is trying to obtain.
The reality is the performance of this ETF has been dismal. Over the five years ending March 31, its annualized return was 2.39%, compared with 10.91% for the S&P 500 Index (returns are expressed in US dollars since this is a U.S.-listed ETF). Moreover, the ETF lost almost 10% in 2015, a year when the S&P 500 delivered a slightly positive return. It had a small loss again the following year when U.S. stocks delivered almost 12%. Unfortunately for investors in this ETF, it has mostly provided upside protection.
But it's not fair to target this specific fund: Its managers are not unique in their failure to protect investors from market downturns while also delivering positive returns during the good times. Virtually all market timing strategies (which usually involve shifting from equities to cash) have the same goal, and while many do sidestep some sharp declines, they frequently missed the recoveries, which can happen swiftly and unexpectedly.
Instead of looking for a product that promises downside protection, Rena, I would suggest you simply use traditional ETFs for equities but combine these with some fixed income (bonds, GICs or cash). This will reduce your losses during a downturn in the equity market. And while it will also reduce your expected returns compared with an all-stock portfolio, you can at least be sure your ETFs will capture all of the upsides when equities perform well. You will never be sitting in cash, or using exotic strategies that try to predict the volatility and direction of the market.
Experienced investors understand that, as tempting as it sounds, you cannot sidestep the risk of investing in stocks. In his book Debunkery, the veteran investment manager Ken Fisher put it best: "To my knowledge, no one has ever achieved market-like returns without some market-like downside. If you want to achieve something close to stocks' long-term average, you must accept downside volatility. No way around that."

Depression among youth: Obaseki urges collaboration among govts, NGOs, others on mgt
August 1, 2019August 1, 2019
In NewsTags Edo State, edo state governor, godwin obaseki, Governor Obaseki, Obaseki
Edo State Governor, Mr. Godwin Obaseki, has called on governments at all levels, Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and other stakeholders in the health sector to work together on strategies that will help young people deal with depression.
Obaseki made the call when he received members of the Nigerian Youth Parliament (NYP) representing Edo State, at Government House in Benin City.
He stressed that it was time governments gave serious thought to the issues and aspirations of youths as they form about 70 per cent of the nation's population.
"Depression among young people is an issue we have not really focused on as we should. It is something we should highlight and get the various agencies of government; ministry of health and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) and other actors in the health sector, to look at how we can help young people who are depressed in the society, more so, now that it is becoming a problem among youths."
He listed other problems that require similar attention as; unemployment, irregular migration and access to quality education, urging the Youth Parliament to articulate their issues and present them as bills that could be passed into laws.
Obaseki noted that his administration was working to create an enabling environment where youths can realise their full potential through skills acquisition and job creation programmes.
"We are creating jobs in Edo State, but we need to expand these job opportunities especially in Information Communication Technology (ICT) and entrepreneurship.
"We are also creating access to good education especially technical and vocational education."
He noted that his administration was ready to support and work with youths to mitigate their challenges, and advised them to redefine the way youths are perceived in the society.
Earlier, the leader of the team, representing Edo in NYP, Hon. Daniel Uwadiae, said they were collaborating with the state government and NGOs to curb illegal migration.
"We are collaborating with the existing structures we have in the state such as EdoJobs, to promote acquisition of skills and entrepreneurship among Edo youths."
Uwadiae added that the delegation would help mobilise youths across the local government councils in the state to help alleviate the challenges posed by flooding in some parts of the state.

Confession:: I am addicted to Oreos. If I don't pay attention I can eat a whole package (then cry because of how long I have tow ork out because of it!) i like them dipped in milk.
I like to open them and lick the frosting out, so much so when I was preggo with baby #3 I CRAVED Oreo Cream I would lick the cream out of a whole pack of Oreos leaving the cookie halves in there for the kids and hubby to eat. I put on so much weight during that pregnancy!
If you put Oreos in any ice cream I'll eat it. In fact with baby #2 I craved Oreo Mcflurries with EXTRA Oreos. And yes both pregnancies were girls…..
This leads to why I made recipes like Oreo Rice Krispie Treats, Oreo Truffles, Oreo Pudding Pop, and Dipped Oreos.
Preheat the oven to 275˚F. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
Place one whole cookie in each paper lining.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the cream cheese on medium high speed until smooth. Gradually add in the sugar, mix until very well combine. Beat in the vanilla.
Drizzle in the eggs, a bit at the time, beating to combine and scrapping down the sides of the bowl as need it. Beat in sour cream and salt.
Stir in the chopped cookies by hand.
Divide the batter between the cookie filled cups, filling each almost to the top.
I had some left over, and I made to more in my ramekins. Bake for about 22 minutes or until filling is set.
Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Refrigerate in tins for at least 4 hours.
Frosting: Nutella and just enough milk to make it spreadable and of frosting like consistency. Plus Oreo Crumbles.

Unable to remember, to see clearly.
So does memories of you.
Fading slowing, I tried to hold on.
To reach for what's no longer there.
I smiled; knowing I can't miss what's not there.
Emptiness has filled the void where you once lived.
And I fell deeply In love with you.

Henri Matisse, White Mask on Black Background, 1949–50.
Yua: Henri Matisse and the Inner Arctic Spirit explores the surprising and little-known story of how Inuit people and culture inspired one of the 20th century's most influential artists, Henri Matisse. Included in the exhibition are works by Matisse that have not been publicly shown in the United States, and reunited dozens of stunning Yup'ik (Native Alaskan) mask sets that have been separated for more than a century.
This exhibition features original artwork by Henri Matisse, Yup'ik masks, cultural objects, photographs, film, and ephemera, and explores the shared creative impulses that transcend time and culture by examining the unexpected connection between the Great Master and the people of the Arctic.
The Heard Museum will be the only venue to see these original works of art.

Pressing Politics: Revolutionary Graphics from Mexico and Germany at Charles White Elementary School, photo © Museum Associates/LACMA by Rachel Kaplan
November: A Revolutionary Month
Rachel Kaplan, Assistant Curator, Latin American Art
Erin Sullivan Maynes, Assistant Curator, Rifkind Center for German Expressionist Studies
On November 20, 1910, a call to arms united supporters in Mexico to rise up against the authoritarian regime of Porfirio Díaz and establish a democratic republic. Though Díaz—who had held power for almost 35 years—was not overthrown on that day, he resigned under pressure the following May. Nevertheless, this momentous event is recognized as the start of the Mexican Revolution, which lasted over the next ten years as competing groups struggled to gain power and advance political and social reforms. Eight years later, on November 3, 1918, a group of sailors in Kiel, Germany, refused to continue hopelessly fighting and dying as World War I came to an end. They mutinied, sparking a nationwide revolt that led to the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II and the declaration of the German Republic on November 9.
These experiences of revolution inspired the development of bold and innovative graphic practices in both countries. Now on view at Charles White Elementary School, Pressing Politics: Revolutionary Graphics from Mexico and Germany examines the shared subjects and visual strategies as artists responded to their respective upheavals and turned to printmaking to inspire and influence the public. Pressing Politics juxtaposes Mexican and German works in sections highlighting their shared themes: revolutionary contexts, politics and propaganda, labor, and solidarity against war. In honor of November's historic revolutionary moments, this post explores two works from the exhibition that respond to their times of social and political transformation.
Constantin von Mitschke-Collande, Freedom (Freiheit), 1919, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Robert Gore Rifkind Center for German Expressionist Studies, © Estate of Constantin von Mitschke-Collande, photo © Museum Associates/LACMA
This woodcut by Constantin von Mitschke-Collande (1884–1956) is from a portfolio illustrating Walther Georg Hartmann's short story Der begeisterte Weg (The Inspired Path). The story follows a soldier who leaves the fighting at the front during World War I and comes upon a revolution in progress, joining the side of the revolutionaries. Freedom (Freiheit) depicts the moment when the revolutionaries enter the city. The image's energy is generated through the sharp diagonals of the crowd's outstretched arms and the acute angles of the rooftops above. This energy converges around the upraised hand of the figure rallying the masses below and toward the celestial body on the upper right, harmonizing the earthly and extraterrestrial. Mitschke-Collande grew up in a wealthy German family but became an ardent member of the Communist Party. Freedom, created shortly after the start of the revolution, epitomizes the metaphysical side of revolutionary Expressionism. For many German artists, the revolution promised the rebirth not only of the German nation, but of humankind itself. This quasi-religious outlook accorded with an existing spiritual strain in Expressionism and with the political passions of the moment.
Leopoldo Méndez, Protest (La protesta), 1937, published 1943, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, gift of Jules and Gloria Heller, © Estate of Leopoldo Méndez, authorized by Pablo Méndez Hernández, photo © Museum Associates/LACMA
In 1937 a group of politically engaged artists founded the Taller de Gráfica Popular (People's Print Workshop; TGP) in Mexico City. The workshop aimed to use prints to continue to advance changes and social reform fostered by the Mexican Revolution. One of the TGP's founders, Leopoldo Méndez, created this woodcut that same year. In Protest, Méndez plays with scale as a narrative and compositional device. The large central figure clenching his fist represents the people, confronting their oppressors. Below him, in a scene rendered much smaller, his comrades fall victim to men with whips. The gargantuan protester emerges from these injustices, emboldened by the collective power of his peers and visualizing the strength of their numbers. In 1943 the print appeared in a portfolio of Méndez's work published by La Estampa Mexicana, the TGP's in-house publisher, extending the reach of this potent image and its revolutionary message.
Installation view, Pressing Politics: Revolutionary Graphics from Mexico and Germany at Charles White Elementary School Gallery, Oct 29, 2022–Jul 22, 2023, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, photo © Museum Associates/LACMA
Mitschke-Collande and Méndez both communicate the moment of uprising through the upraised hands of their protagonists, who rally the masses to follow. This iconographic motif is prevalent throughout Pressing Politics and imagery associated with the revolutions we commemorate this November.
Pressing Politics: Revolutionary Graphics from Mexico and Germany is now on view at the Charles White Elementary School Gallery and is open to the public Saturdays from 1–4 pm. Portions of this blog are excerpted from the exhibition catalogue, available at the LACMA Store.

Jim Cornette Pulls Back The Curtain On Real Pro Wrestling
In April, the doors of Castle Cornette are being opened to the public! Jim Cornette, in association with IDW Limited are tag-teaming to bring you 60 pages of unrelenting and uncompromising action in the form of a limited-edition graphic novel! Written and illustrated by Eisner Award-nominated Brandon Easton, and Denis Medri, the award-winning team behind Andre The Giant: Closer to Heaven, this new hit enters the Kickstarter ring on April 17th!
"I collected comics even before I got into wrestling, and as a collector myself I want to make this a real collector's item! I've been telling stories for years in my columns and on my podcasts" says Jim Cornette. "But you know what they say, a picture's worth a thousand words. So sixty pages of pictures should be enough room to tell a heck of a lot of amazing stories. I can't wait to take people behind the scenes and have them SEE some of my favorite moments illustrated by an awesome team!"
The book will feature three chapters of tales, hand-selected and presented by Cornette and adapted by the team of Easton and Medri.

7 Things That TikTok Can Teach You about Your Content Strategy
When SnapChat first burst onto the Social Media scene, it set the marketing world a light with buzz around this new 'golden bullet' opportunity to reach the ever elusive millennial target-market.
by Alex - August 2019
Brand strategies were quickly re-examined in light of the growing success of this new, mobile-first and transient platform, where filters were the norm and there was no content history to browse. SnapChat introduced content that was here and now – and you had to know where to look to be part of the wave. Brands were keen to tap into the mysterious new platform, but also weary of investing large budgets into a platform that didn't offer accurate analytics, and didn't have the type of penetration that Facebook, Twitter, Youtube & Instagram were experiencing.
The final blow to SnapChats increasing popularity was the sudden and unexpected adoption of Stories by Instagram – a direct slap in the face of SnapChat.
Stories offered the Instagram user-base the 2 most essential features that defined Snapchat's popularity with the youth – Vertical Content & Ephemeral Content.
Within a year of Instagram Stories being launched, almost half of all activity on Instagram now consisted of the vertical, transient story content, rather than the curated timeline content the platform was initially famous for. Although Snapchat had now been shoved into the corner of niche social networking – the core content principles remained and lived on in stronger than ever in other platforms – with stories now available across Instagram, Facebook, WhatsApp & YouTube.
A New Challenger Enters
While Snapchat was grasping for relevance amongst the big Social Network king-pins, a new contender was quickly rising among the ranks in the background. In late 2016, the app Douyin was launched by ByteDance in China – and within a year had accumulated an impressive 100 million users with 1 billion video views a day. Although incredibly popular in the Asian markets, it would take another year or so before this success started spreading globally.
In November 2017 – just two months after launching with a new brand, TikTok spent around $1 Billion to purchase muscal.ly – a competitor app start-up from Shanghai that had amassed a cult of teenage followers from California. Along with their new brand-identity geared for global appeal, they merged their user-base with Musical.ly – giving them a substantial advantage for controlling the lip-syncing app market. But just how big was this lip-syncing market – and was there anything more to it than awkward pre-teen dance clips?
As it turns out – TikTok's appeal would explode come 2018 with it becoming the first Social Network to crack 500 million users since Instagram did so in 2016. From lip-syncing – to dance, comedy, tips, make-up, memes, celebrities and everything else – TikTok was proving to be an incredibly versatile app when it comes to content creation, as well as filling the void left by Vine when it comes to touch-and-edit video recording software. Furthermore – it offers content creators a vast array of filters and features that are not available (yet) on the usual social network apps like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or YouTube.
So what does TikTok's sudden and extreme success tell us about the content ecosystem at the moment? And how can we apply these learnings to our content strategies going into 2020 and beyond? Here are 7 content trends that TikTok can teach you:
1) Keep it Short
TikTok's tag line is Real Short Videos which shows just how important short content is to their brand strategy. Short content is not only easier to consume, but also easier to create, and easier to buffer quickly. While Vine capped video length at 6 seconds – TikTok & Instagram Stories have capped their video length at 15 seconds – the 'golden number' according to them, and most likely accurate, based on the mountains of user-retention data they must have. If you can't say what you want to in 15 seconds, then it would be worthwhile rather developing a long-form content strategy or focusing on creating episodic, branded content.
2) Keep it Shareable
Just keeping your video short won't make it go viral alone in the current attention-based economy. Kath Walter's speaks about the idea of Sticky Content – where content can be like peanut butter – easy to spread but sticky when touch. With the constant competition for attention – video content needs to appeal to the viewer within 3 seconds before they decide to scroll on. If you can hook them in the first few seconds, and keep them to the end, your content will shared around and stick with those who experience it.
3) Video effects and Editing
At the core of the TikTok experience is their robust and versatile editing suite. There is an apparently infinite amount of sounds and songs to use, with various time-editing effects to allow users to create quick and accurate edits. Filters AR-experiences and post-editing effects all add to the creator's toolbox and allows even the most basic user the arsenal to create advanced edits that would traditionally take professional creators hours to make. If one thing is clear – content at the moment is just as much about the bells and whistles, as it is about being genuinely authentic and creative.
4) Music, Sound & Dance is more important than ever
A large part of TikTok's appeal is the ability to create content using otherwise copyright-protected content. This is fitting too for the new generation of content-creators, who are extremely dance-orientated. From Fortnite dances, to world-wide famous dance-moves like The Floss; dance and movement are quickly becoming important pillars of content-marketing. The possibilities here for content strategies are endless, especially as the boundaries between music, dance and sound all become further blurred.
5) Full Screen only
Following from Snapchat and Instagram's success – it is safe to say that full-screen, vertical content appeals to the masses. TikTok demonstrates this well, throwing the user straight into full-screen, auto-play videos on their timeline. Regardless of video quality – users will still opt for full-screen content over smaller video, especially when viewed on the new generation of full-display smart-phones. While other content dimensions have their time and place on different social networks – the future of mobile video is vertical – at least for now.
6) Make it a trend if you want it to trend
Like most of the social networks, TikTok does a great job at promoting users to share and adopt new trends. From the likes of Finger-Dances, to the Backpack Challenge – or hashtags and popular songs, TikTok is trend machine. This is evident when considering the number of vast number of memes promulgated through the app over. For marketers and brands a like – TikTok offers a plethora of trends to hop-on - as well as try to create.
7) Mobile first – but not only
While mobile-first has become a mantra for marketers – TikTok's success demonstrates this perfectly well. Mobile phones are not only the best way to record and edit short videos, but they are also ideal for consuming them as well. Even with mobile being so pivotal for content strategies, it does not mean it's time to ignore traditional formats. A vast amount of TikTok's success stems from clips being shared via other platforms – from YouTube compilations, to Facebook Viral videos and Instagram stories. Whether your viewers are on mobile, tablet, TV or desktop – the most important thing is to ensure that they can access your content – and then that your content is worth their time.
So now the only question really left is 'Should my brand be on TikTok?' While that would depend on what type of brand it is - the answer is most likely 'Not for now', especially as there is no real paid space on it for marketers yet. But one thing is most definite – all brands should be watching what the creators on TikTok are doing closely – and what this could mean for your brand or content strategy going forward.

NY chef wins top James Beard award
Dan Barber, a pioneer of the so-called farm-to-table restaurant movement, was named the nation's top chef Monday by the James Beard Foundation.
Dan Barber was lauded for using his New York restaurants—Blue Hill New York and Blue Hill at Stone Barns in Pocantico Hills—to highlight the difference seasonal and sustainable agriculture can make on the plate.
Mr. Barber sees his cooking, which he calls American seasonal, as an effort to raise awareness about everyday food choices. At Stone Barns, which is set on a working farm, the menu is a simple list of fresh ingredients.
Mr. Barber, who was named one of the nation's best new chefs in 2002 by Food & Wine magazine, previously was recognized by the Beard Foundation as the top New York chef in 2006. He also was a finalist for the top chef last year.
The James Beard awards are the Oscars of the food world, and honor those who follow in the footsteps of Mr. Beard, considered the dean of American cooking when he died in 1985.
Other winners include Michael Symon, owner of Cleveland's Lola restaurant and a Food Network Next Iron Chef champion. He was named best chef in the Great Lakes region.
Mr. Barber's award comes at a time when much is being made of the importance of reconnecting Americans with food at its source. For example, first lady Michelle Obama recently planted a vegetable garden at the White House, a move long sought by proponents of sustainable agriculture.
Michael Pollan, a vocal critic of conventional agriculture, got a similar nod from the foundation Monday. His In Defense of Food, an examination of the American diet and food system, won a Beard book award.
Jean-Georges Vongerichten's New York restaurant Jean Georges was honored as the nation's top restaurant. The restaurant was a finalist in the category last year.
David Chang, who has received numerous accolades for his Momofuku Noodle Bar and Momofuku Ssam Bar restaurants in New York, earned "Best New Restaurant" for his Ko, which has been celebrated for its tasting menu-only offerings. The foundation honored Mr. Chang as best New York chef last year.
The foundation's award for rising star went to San Francisco chef Nate Appleman, whose restaurant A16 features the foods of Italy's Campania region.
In the cookbook categories, Jennifer McLagan's Fat: An Appreciation of a Misunderstood Ingredient, won two awards-cookbook of the year and single-subject cookbook.
Last year's top chef, Grant Achatz, won a book award this year for Alinea, a cookbook based on his Chicago restaurant of the same name. The book won the professional cooking category.
The organization's Lifetime Achievement award went to Ella Brennan, whose family has been a virtual dynasty in the New Orleans restaurant scene for decades.

Blue Daisy Restaurant is like a blossoming flower, a famous dining place in Korean Town.
One of the many trademarks of Korean-owned establishments is their obvious creativity when it comes to the name and stuff. Just like how they were able to conceptualize the idea of naming the restaurant into Blue Daisy. The title of this place is a familiar flower to a lot of people and we usually see a yellow Daisy but little did we know that this place have decided to add the twist of the idea. It seems like a small detail but Blue Daisy Restaurant is truly an attention-getter to most of the passersby of the area. Maybe it is because of the undeniable rising of this wonderful restaurant. Tourists and a lot of foreign guests will certainly be satisfied with the wide range of menu that they offer to their valued customers. Plus the fact that in here you will meet the friendliest waiters and waitresses that gives their best and renders quality service made especially just for you. This dining place is a known establishment in town and we all know that earning such kind of title is not gained overnight. It takes success and determination to make everything happen just like how Blue Daisy Restaurant kept its consistency since the time it opened its doors to the public until now.
Blue Daisy Restaurant belongs to the many trending diners in Angeles City especially in Korean Town district and no wonder that this simple place will be able to progress as the years pass by. This name is also popular in US and maybe this is where the idea came from. What matters the most is the genuine taste of the food that suits everyone's preferences when it comes to their top picks.


I have a .NET DLL that requires that a NULL value as an input. Is there a way that I can input a NULL value in LabVIEW?
There is no way to create a NULL value in LabVIEW that you can pass into your .NET DLL. The workaround for this would be to create a wrapper DLL which takes in a value (that LabVIEW can handle) and have it output a NULL value when needed.

"China Money Network provides our customers with unique insights through the eyes of our local teams across the Greater China region, who deliver actionable data allowing global investors the tools needed to execute deals in China," said Naveet McMahon, co-founder and managing partner, China Money Network.
"We have strong relationships with Chinese investors and companies, enabling us to collect valuable intelligence that provides our customers a unique advantage in the market place."
Chinese venture capital activity continued its blistering pace of growth in April, with investors inking 209 deals with venture-backed companies worth a total US$15.59 billion. April's total VC deal value in China was 166% higher than the monthly average in the U.S., according to the China VC Tracker released by China Money Network today.
By comparison, in the U.S., during the first three months of 2018, investors deployed an average US$9.4 billion per month, for a total US$28.2 billion in the first quarter. That number is the highest amount in any single quarter since 2006, PitchBook data showed.
China's venture capital market is being buoyed by the aggressive investment pace of its largest technology giants, including Tencent, Alibaba and Baidu. The three firms ranked as the first, fourth and eighth most active investors in the past month, inking 11, 5 and 4 deals respectively. Tencent and Alibaba participated in deals totaling US$5.7 billion and US$1.7 billion, respectively, while Baidu was involved in deals worth US$154 million.
Sequoia Capital was the second most active investor, having invested in 9 deals worth a total of US$5.3 billion, far ahead of its peers. Other investors making the most deals last month included Zhen Fund, IDG Capital, Qiming Venture Partners, Legend Capital and JD.com.
Government funds also contributed to the elevated VC deal activity by leading some massive funding rounds. China Reform Fund Management Co., Ltd, an investment firm backed by China Reform Holdings Corporation Ltd. and Chinese state-owned enterprises, led a RMB1 billion (US$159 million) series C round in fintech start-up 100Credit. It also teamed up with Softbank Vision Fund to invest US$1.9 billion in Chinese truck-hailing firm Manbang Group.
Not only did Chinese VC investors deploy much more in aggregate terms than their U.S. counterparts, they also made bigger-ticket capital injections per deal. The average deal size in China was US$70.24 million in April, more than four times the US$16.7 million average deal size in the U.S. during the first three months, according to data from China VC Tracker.
There were 19 VC deals in China last month worth more than US$100 million, while four were for deals over US$1 billion each. There were 32 VC deals bigger than US$50 million in China during April. That compared to 25.3 such deals recorded monthly in the U.S. during the first quarter.
China's consumer upgrade trend was very much in evidence in the type of companies receiving funding in April. While technology mainstays software and Internet saw the most deals, with 36 VC financing rounds completed, media and entertainment, retail and consumer, healthcare and education also made strong showings.
Around 81.72% of the VC deals recorded in April were early stage investment from angel to series B rounds. Nearly half of all VC deals were for companies raising series A rounds, while 20.3% were series B deals. Angel and seed investments accounted 11.67% of the total. Only 18.28% were later stage VC investments of series C round and later.
Beijing, China's capital city, was the capital of venture-backed companies, with 79 companies there receiving capital in April, versus 46 for second place Shanghai. Shenzhen ranks third with 21 VC-backed companies based in the coastal city, followed by Guangzhou, Hangzhou and Hong Kong.

I honestly prefer the Aveeno. Our pediatrician also recommended the Aveeno and I think it smells better and locks in moisture better. In my opinion, the Dove works about as well as Johnson & Johnson products with a higher price tag.
That's a good find. They are retail price around $6 each at Walmart / Target.
I use this for my baby. It's true that this cream has very strong scent. Not odourless. Cream is good moisture and my baby likes it.

I like it, but what about lightening their faces just a bit? Do you mind if I do it and post it here to show you what I mean?
Of course, viewing small images isn't the same as large one.
That crossed my mind too but when I did (his, not hers), I found it took away a little of the moodiness, so I just left well enough alone. I figure that I shot it with natural light and that's how it looked, so why not just leave it alone. Good idea though, for sure.
Wonderful imagery ! Congrats !
Beautful shot Dave. Excellent work.
They haven't seen it yet. The prints are on order. You guys got the sneak preview.
Awesome! I'm tempted to say that it would look good in B&W... but I'm not so sure. I think it's spot on as is!
