Cap'n Shipwreck's onscreen legacy

By Mike Wolfe
From 1961 to 1967, KVAL-TV's Cap'n Shipwreck Show was a "must see" program for Lane County's grade-schoolers.
Each weekday at 4:30 pm, the Cap'n (played by Gordon Bussey) arrived to the stage in his makeshift prop boat, the "Laf-a-Lot." From the stage, known as "Cartoon Island," he welcomed a bleacher full of kids with his standard friendly greeting, "Ahoy there, mates!"
Bussey never aspired to become a television icon. One Friday in 1961, he was approached by his supervisor at KVAL-TV, where he worked as an announcer/director; the boss gave him just one weekend to come up with a kids' cartoon show, being told that he needed to be ready to go live on the air the following Monday. He and his wife worked feverishly over the next two days to come up with a show idea and host "look," eventually settling on a scruffy beard and eyebrows, captain's cap, striped shirt, and old tennis shoes for the standard Cap'n uniform.
The hour-long show featured Popeye cartoons, slapstick acts, guests, and, of course, interviews with the kids, in many cases giving them their first opportunity to be seen on television. Birthday groups, scout troops, sports teams, or anyone whose parents called could join the group as space permitted, but it was crucial to plan ahead because, when the program was at its most popular, reservations were needed a year in advance!
Since the show was live and largely ad-libbed, you never knew what was going to happen. In winter, an indoor snowball fight might break out between the Cap'n and some of his camera crew, or in summer, squirt gun battles could take place. One day, as the Cap'n was interviewing some of his youthful guests, another man stepped onto the stage. He was dressed in an identical costume and bellowed: "That man's an imposter! I'm the REAL Cap'n Shipwreck!" Bussey was taken aback, and the kids looked back and forth, not sure what was happening. Then Bussey recognized him as a co-worker, and slyly retorted: "He's right. I'm a fraud." He handed the man the microphone and walked off the stage, leaving the prankster to run the show. Every day was different, and it kept the kids coming back for more.
If watching the show five days a week wasn't enough, another way to see Cap'n Shipwreck was at his live shows Saturday mornings at the McDonald Theatre. Here the Cap'n would call kids onto the stage for interviews and treats, hold special drawings, and show some cartoons followed by a feature-length film on the big screen. Those who attended can probably remember the mayhem that took place once the lights went down and the movie started!
The most dedicated fans joined the Cap'n Shipwreck's Shipmates Club, complete with pins and membership cards that entitled them to special offers from many of Shipwreck's sponsors, including Tiffany's Drug Stores, Medo-Land Dairy, Pepsi-Cola, Burch's Shoes, and Johnny's Toy House.
As popular as Cap'n Shipwreck was, television is a business, and eventually, declining advertising dollars determined the program's fate. In 1967, KVAL-TV decided it could do better in the time slot with a talk show, so Merv Griffin replaced Cap'n Shipwreck, and the Laf-a-lot boat was beached for good.
Gordon Bussey remained at KVAL-TV until 1986, and since then he has had a number of adventures, some in lands quite distant from Eugene. But wherever he goes, he is often recognized and greeted as "Cap'n Shipwreck," his legacy to a generation of Oregon's kids.

Comedy Streamer Laughly Goes Live, Bringing the Yuks in Real Time
Dave Scott (right) doesn't think of himself as a huge comedy nerd, so he seems like an unusual choice to have created the Spotify of comedy. But he's a serial startup entrepreneur with a track record for getting it right, so maybe he was a good choice, after all.
His creation, Laughly, fills a gap that music streaming services leave behind: It's a good way to stream comedy albums. While popular music services include comedy, they don't have much of a catalog and they don't present it well. Comedy fans are likely to get tired of the selection after a few days of listening.
"For streaming, comedy was just a red-headed step child, a forgotten kid in a lot of ways," Scott says. "That doesn't mean that Spotify and Pandora don't have comedy, because they do. But they just nestle it in the corner, hide it behind everything else, as opposed to really letting it breathe and doing really interesting things."
Comedy had a problem that Scott wanted to solve, and Laughly is the service he created to do so. Laughly launched on Aug. 11, 2016, and includes more than 18,000 hours of audio from more than 700 comedians. Need a Richard Pryor fix? Want to binge on some Louis C.K.? Desperate for some classic Eddie Murphy? With Laughly, fans can get their fill any time on any Apple or Android device or through a browser. Fans can sample everything from Aziz Ansari to "Weird Al" Yankovic, Scott says (showing the need for a popular comic performer whose last name starts with "Z").
Comedy fans can sample Laughly in four different ways, Scott explains. The simplest is dipping into the ondemand catalog where they can listen to material from any comic they like. If they want variety, fans can also create their own radio stations based on favorite comics, themes, or genres. Fans only need to tell the app what they want to hear to get their personal playlists.
Third, fans can stream live comedy performances through the app, thanks to a feature that debuted earlier this year. Laughly partnered with a handful of comedy clubs to stream audio directly from their mics. Finally, in an even newer feature, Laughly now supports more than 100 comedy podcasts. Fans can subscribe to their favorite podcasts directly through the app and listen in the same interface.
The Laughly app is free and adsupported, but fans can become Reserved Seating subscribers for $3.99 per month. The premiere tier offers adfree listening, a profanity filter, access to exclusive audio, and the ability to download albums for offline listening.
From Entrepreneur to Standup and Back
Scott's first company was called Next Planet Over, and it was an ecommerce site for licensed entertainment merchandise. It sold products for DreamWorks, Warner Bros., Marvel, Stan Lee Presents, Lucasfilm, and other movie studios. Toys "R" Us acquired the company in 2001. In 2008, Scott was back with his second company, Marketfish, a marketing automation company that optimized lead acquisition campaigns for Disney, Norwegian Cruise Line, ADT Security Services, Verizon, Dish, and others. That company closed and sold its assets in 2013.
During a period of downtime, Scott decided to give standup comedy a try. He wasn't a comedy nerd, but he appreciated the craft after growing up on racy Andrew Dice Clay routines. Devoting himself to the study of why some routines work and some comics become legends, he realized there was no good way to study the material he was interested in.
"As I started to dig in, I found some pretty shocking things: Believe it or not, people used to buy comedy albums," Scott says. "That was the way you would enjoy comedy. You used to go to Tower Records, pick up George Carlin's Class Clown or whatever. Exact same way that you enjoy music.
"Then as you know, people stopped buying albums and started downloading them, and then people stopped downloading albums— they started to stream them. [Services] like Pandora and Spotify showed up and started doing streaming services, but everybody pretty much forgot comedy."
For a serial entrepreneur, that was an ideal void waiting to be filled. When Scott saw there was no online distribution for comedy audio, his first step was speaking to the recording labels about licensing. No small feat, this process took nearly a year. Scott wasn't going to launch a service unless he had the inventory to back it up, so his first step was a crucial one. Since no one had created a comedy streaming service before, he found it was difficult simply finding some expertise in the area. Eventually he hired Rashidi Hendrix, a producer with 20 years of music licensing experience. The two of them needed to educate the marketplace, since no one had ever approached the labels about creating a comedy streaming service.

If you implement S1000D, then you also work with S1000D business rules. You either have to create them or follow them, or both.
The S1000D specification is several thousand pages long, has several tenths of XML Schema and as many objects to support its use in any of the download packages at www.s1000d.org.
And if you try to address the Business Rules Decision Points (BRDP) and define your project's or organization's business rules you will see that you will have to address 427 in S1000D Issue 4.2, 552 in Issue 4.1 and over 700 in Issue 4.0.1.
That sounds pretty overwhelming, doesn't it?
Susanne Berg from Mekon Ltd suggested about two years ago that I write short articles for their blog category called "Bitesize Business Rules." I agreed and discovered that writing in little bits about business rules, did make the topic less overwhelming and more understandable. With Mekon's permission, I have gathered all the articles published there, revised, and had them professionally edited. And today, I have published a little book with the title brDoc, BREX, and Co.: S1000D Business Rules Made Easier.
Based on the feedback to the articles of the "Bitesize Business Rules" series, the bite-sized articles on business rules can help you to "taste" and "digest" one aspect of S1000D business rules (and to some extent also implementation) at a time.
I hoped to make the book available before the S1000D User Forum that will take place in New Orleans this year on September 10-13.
And first I thought the title of this post could be a good joke, but now I think such a book could be "digested" even better when you read it in an atmosphere a bit remote from the actual work. While at it, you could get a new perspective on the complex and multi-dimensional topic of S1000D business rules.
If you read this far, then I invite you to check out the description of this little book here.
In the previous lectures of the online course Motivate Yourself by Turning Your Life into Fun Games, we've addressed the importance to want to see your projects as games, to design them, to actually start playing them, and develop them. This lecture will give you tips on how you can start playing your motivational games because the start might seem the most daunting when you are preparing for it. A spoiler alert: also for the start, you use the three skill-sets introduced by this course.
If you would like to learn more about this self-motivational online course, then click on the image below or the link in the brackets (https://www.udemy.com/motivate-yourself-by-turning-your-life-into-fun-games/…) to access the course's landing page.
You can't have fun in a game without willing to play it and actually playing it. The same is with turning your life into fun games: you won't have any success with that without your voluntary participation. And more than that, you have to want not only to play your motivational games but also to design them and improve them, and before all that to see your projects and activities as games. This video addresses various aspects of the voluntary participation in self-gamification.
If you ever doubted that a project or activity could be turned into a fun game, then I invite you to take a look at the components of a game. When you do it, you might see that any project or activity having success has all the four main elements of a game: a goal, rules that are followed, feedback system, and voluntary participation.
This lecture of the course Motivate Yourself by Turning Your Life into Fun Games explains how and gives concrete examples.
The course Motivate Yourself by Turning Your Life into Fun Games will help you learn how to be aware, take a small, effortless step at a time, and appreciate each moment by turning anything you are up to into a captivating game. After recognizing what you escape from and what activities you escape to, without judging that, you can take the next step. That is identifying the next step to make toward your goals. In this lecture, you will discover that these steps are not the entries on your to-do lists. They are much closer. They are just where you are. And you can make them with the smallest effort there can be.
You will also learn that wherever you are right now and however you feel (upset or not), it is neither good or bad. It is just a starting point towards your goals.

TRINETRA, an AI app for Uttar Pradesh Police Department
Staqu announced the launch of TRINETRA, an AI application for the Uttar Pradesh Police Department. The application digitizes and search records using AI and carries records of criminals, assisting police forces at ground zero with real-time information retrieval during investigations, regular checks, verifications, and at police checkpoints. The app is launched under the leadership of O P Singh, IPS, Director General of UP Police, with S.K. Bhagat, IGP Crime, and Somen Barma, SP Crime of Uttar Pradesh police driving the project under their supervision. Other noted police officials also attended the launch of TRINETRA held in UP 100 headquarter today.
TRINETRA equips police forces to carry superior technology in their pockets. With this application, police personnel can easily register or search for criminals via simple biometric features, such as images or videos. The app is powered by Staqu's expertise in facial recognition, visual search, machine learning, and deep learning, works well with low resolution images and videos, and offers better accuracy than any other criminal recognition system. With AI-powered Gang identification Technology, TRIENETRA not only identifies a criminal but also their associates active in different districts and part of the states.
The Uttar Pradesh deployment comes with superior updates. It is connected with the data from the all the prisons, DCRBs, SCRB, and CCTNS and creates non-ambiguous, non-repetitive data of criminals active in the state. In fact, it is the first police app carrying records of around five lakh criminals that are active in different districts and parts of the state. Staqu has also commissioned AI-powered phonetic search in the app, helping police forces search for criminals with better accuracy, even if the name is wrongly spelled in the database.
Upon the launch, TRINERTA is expected to reach 75 districts, 6 GRP (railways police), ATS (Anti-Terrorist Squads), and STF (Special task force) through android app. Within a week of pilot phase of the app, TRINETRA has assisted the police to nab one high-profile criminal wanted in the case of a day shoot-out in Lucknow.
Commenting on the latest development, Atul Rai, CEO and Co-Founder of Staqu, said, "At Staqu, it has been our constant endeavour to apply artificial intelligence in solving the real-world problems. The launch of TRINETRA in Uttar Pradesh helps us take our agenda forward and empower the resilient and brave police forces working at ground zero with superior tech assistance, real-time data recall facilitated with facial recognition and other biometric identification. We are humbled and deeply grateful for the vision of the Uttar Pradesh Police Department and their support all throughout the various stages of deployment."

Being in the field for so long, it is for the first time that we have witnessed police forces working at ground zero being supported by superior and easy-to-use technology. This is a revolutionary, much-awaited and welcome change!"
Staqu has revealed its long-term vision with the launch of TRINETRA in Uttar Pradesh. In the next phase of the pilot, Staqu intends to introduce vehicle search technology on the mobile app, along with enable search by voice samples through its advanced AI-powered speaker identification technology. By that time, the app will also support fingerprint based identification and active geo-fencing of police personnel from command centre of TRINETRA.

PUBG Mobile: Season 10 to Feature Desert Eagle Pistol, Payload Mode, RP Rewards and More
Early leaks have revealed upcoming in-game items and RP Rewards that will be arriving with Season 10 of PUBG Mobile.
Oct 5, 2019 - 13:14
We still have a whole lot of goodies in the current season of PUBG Mobile, but leaks around season 10 are already making their way to the internet. Season 9 kicked-off in the middle of September and should finish by mid-November, but we are already getting details that the next season including various RP rewards.
It is noteworthy that some of the leaks include Halloween themed items, but those might arrive in the next update itself, which is expected to arrive before Season 10. Update 0.14.5 is expected to bring the new Payload Mode as well, which will be a brand new addition to the Arcade Modes. We've seen the special mode in the past where players drop on Erangel and get to fight with some heavy artillery including grenade and rocket launchers, homing missiles and even helicopters. There is no confirmation if the new mode will arrive in the next update, but we are very confident that it will arrive in the next season.
The new season should also include a brand new pistol, the Desert Eagle or Deagle. The Desert Eagle is already available for PC and console versions of the game and deals the most damage compared to all the pistols. But it will have the most recoil. It deals 62 damage per shot, and takes both red-dot and holographic sights and one can also equip various magazines and laser sight. The Deagle uses .45 ACP ammo with the standard magazine offering 7 rounds and 10 on extended.
As for the RP or Royale Pass Rewards on season 10, we have quite a bit of items. We can expect a new Halloween theme arriving at the end of season 9 which could overlap with season 10. Apart from wide range of outfits, there will be a tin-man and a witch outfit specially dedicated for Halloweens. As with all the seasons, there will be other costumes through the entire season.
There are a bunch of unique helmet finishes if you are into that, including a dino-face, winter hat, frog-face and a post-apocalyptic Mad-Max inspired skin. There are a bunch of parachute skins, some solo, duo and squad titled t-shirts and new vehicle skins for the UAZ, Mirado, Buggy and Snowmobile. As for the gun skins, there's a new modern looking finish with blue-streaks available on the UZI, AKM, Groza and the M24. There are also brand new M416 as well as the AKM skins for the gun-lab which are definitely going to cost you a lot of money to upgrade. There are also a variety of other gun skins for the Mini14, QBU, UZI, VSS, M24 and more. Backpack skins include some emoji-based ones, a winter themed skin, and a military/desert skin. Lastly, there will be skins for melee items, as well as airplanes, and new face accessories and masks.

At the Hung Nghiep Formosa Ha Tinh Iron and Steel Ltd Co, in parallel with the prevention of Covid-19, to ensure the target of producing 390,000 tons of hot rolled steel coil, 70,000 tons of rolled steel, 559,000 tons of liquid iron and 547,000 tons of steel billets in August, the company has focused on implementing production plans to meet the schedule.
According to Ha Tinh Customs Department, from the end of February, to support and accompany businesses to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic, in addition to continuing to improve the business environment, the unit has been making effortsand deployingsolutions to support business activities, production, import and export of enterprises across the area.
Where the import-export tax revenue accounts for over 90% of the total revenue of Ha Tinh Customs Department - Vung Ang port, these days have been quietdue to the functional forces restricting people from entering and leaving the port to prevent Covid-19. However, trucks and containers quietly followed each other to clear customs clearance. It is known that the Customs Branch of Vung Ang port is making efforts to both fight the pandemic and ensure fast and convenient clearance of goods for businesses.
According to the representative of Vung Ang port border gate Customs Branch, strictly implementing measures to prevent the pandemic, sailors on ships entering the port are not allowed to disembark.

Mr. Cao Duc Thang, Director of the Customs Branch of Vung Ang port border gate, emphasized that defining the prevention and fight against Covid-19 and facilitating and supporting enterprises to carry out customs procedures is the key task at this moment. Therefore, the unit has grasped allcivil servants on the government's direction and at all levels on the tasks and urgent solutions to remove difficulties for production and business, ensuring social security to cope with the Covid-19 pandemic.
In particular, in order to maximize the convenience of businesses, the unit has applied the electronic customs clearance system, the ASEAN single window mechanism, promoting online public services, and automatic customs supervision and management system (VASSCM). Because of that, import-export businesses open declarations, pay taxes, fees and charges at anytime, shortening the clearance time for goods, resulting in a series of costs to be cut.
Cooperating to overcome difficulties
In order to remove difficulties for enterprises due to the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic as well as to ensure the implementation of assigned political tasks, Mr. Dinh Van Hoa, Deputy Director of Ha Tinh Customs Department, said when the Covid-19 pandemic started(in March), the unit actively developed plans to deploy tasks and solutions to support and promote import and export activities to actively respond to the Covid-19 pandemic.

In addition, Ha Tinh Customs also reviewed the classification, code application, and customs valuation for imported and exported goods through professional programs; intensify warnings and professional corrections to prevent mistakes. In addition, the unit continues to review, collect and analyze information about key enterprises, key products, risk areas, suspicious signs, and develop warnings for units in the process of customs clearance.
In particular, the unit strengthened propaganda to the business community about the determination and solutions of Ha Tinh Customs on activities to support and accompany enterprises in the period of Covid-19 pandemic prevention. In particular, in order for businesses to quickly grasp the regulations and policies, the units introduced, disseminated and publicized new documents and policies, the contents of answering difficulties of enterprises in the process of present customs clearance procedures for businesses to know and strictly implement them.
"Ha Tinh Customs Department will always follow disease developments to actively advise and propose to the General Department of Customs and the Provincial People's Committee solutions to remove difficulties and problems in order to cooperate with businesses to promote import and export activities through the area," Mr. Dinh Van Hoa said.
In budget collection, Mr. Dinh Van Hoa said that with the complicated developments of the current Covid-19 pandemic, it is forecasted that in the future, the import and export activities of enterprises will decrease sharply and the completion of state budget revenue targets of Ha Tinh Customs department is very difficult.
Facing the above situation, Ha Tinh Customs has actively reviewed and evaluated the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the import and export situation and the state budget revenue, to soon have specific forecasts and solutions for revenue scenario in 2020. At the same time, the units actively exchange and grasp information on import and export activities of enterprises, especially enterprises with large revenues, regular import and export frequency to share, accompany, remove difficulties with enterprises. Customs sub-departments ensure that import and export activities are carried out smoothly and safely.
Do not to let any goods get congested at the border gate and arrange officers on duty 24/7 to solve problems in customs clearance for businesses.
At the same time, the unit focused on implementing the work of preventing and combating smuggling, illegally transporting of goods and drugs across the border and medical equipment during the peak time of Covid-19 pandemic prevention and after it ends.

Q: Symfony 4 PHP Exception Doctrine\ORM\ORMException: "Unknown Entity namespace ali as 'User'." Here is my subscriber class. I want to get the user email to him an email.
I use here the EntityManagerInterface
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManagerInterface;

final class RegisterMailSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
    private $mailer;

    public function __construct(\Swift_Mailer $mailer, EntityManagerInterface $entityManager)
    {
        $this->mailer = $mailer;
        $this->repository= $entityManager->getRepository('AppEntity:User');
    }

    public static function getSubscribedEvents()
    {
        return [
            KernelEvents::VIEW => ['sendMail', EventPriorities::POST_WRITE],
        ];
    }

    public function sendMail(ViewEvent $event): void
    {
        $user = $event->getControllerResult();
        $method = $event->getRequest()->getMethod();

        if (!$user instanceof User || Request::METHOD_POST !== $method) {
            return;
        }
        $userInfo = $this->repository->find($user->getId());

    }
}

A: You need to import all the dependencies used as User, Request, ViewEvent, KernelEvent, etc.
By the way, is a good practice to import the repository (UserRepository) and not the entityManager, but you dont need it because you have the $user already. You dont need to find it again.
I think this should be enough if you have the user classes in those namespaces (locations):
use Doctrine\ORM\EntityManagerInterface;
use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\Event\ViewEvent;
use Symfony\Component\HttpKernel\KernelEvents;
use ApiPlatform\Core\EventListener\EventPriorities;
use App\Entity\User;

final class RegisterMailSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface
{
    private $mailer;

    public function __construct(\Swift_Mailer $mailer)
    {
        $this->mailer = $mailer;
    }

    public static function getSubscribedEvents()
    {
        return [
            KernelEvents::VIEW => ['sendMail', EventPriorities::POST_WRITE],
        ];
    }

    public function sendMail(ViewEvent $event): void
    {
        $user = $event->getControllerResult();
        $method = $event->getRequest()->getMethod();

        if (!$user instanceof User || Request::METHOD_POST !== $method) {
            return;
        }

       $userEmail = $user->getEmail(); //for example. You got the user 5 lines before.

    }
}

Montrose, CA January 24, 2017 - Montrose Travel, a division of CTM (ASX:CTD), a $4 Billion global travel powerhouse and nationally recognized Top 12 Travel Management Company, was acknowledged by Royal Caribbean International as West Partner of the year for 2016. This commendation pays tribute to an elite group of travel agencies within the United States and Canada who embody passion, commitment and innovation and go above and beyond to achieve success.

The Montrose Travel team is a true partner in every sense of the word and is a partner we know we can always count on".
Montrose Travel and Royal Caribbean International are not new acquaintances. The decades-long relationship has resulted in many shared successes and celebrations.

Montrose Travel honored as "Hometown Heroes" and closes 2016 with a company-wide celebration.
Montrose, CA December 5, 2016 - Montrose Travel closed their Diamond Anniversary year with a number of exciting festivities to celebrate their continued growth and success. Saturday, December 3rd proved to be an eventful evening with two such celebrations both in the local community as well as within the Montrose Travel community.
The festivities began with the 40th Annual Montrose-Glendale Christmas parade – a family-focused event with more than 500 people in the community including youth groups, cheerleaders, bands, celebrities, political dignitaries and local Police and Fire departments marching down the festively-lit Honolulu Boulevard, with a special guest appearance by Santa Claus himself. Montrose Travel was honored as one of the community "Hometown Heroes" with company leaders, Joe and Julie McClure and Andi McClure Mysza, acting as Grand Marshals in the parade. This served as a true testament to how Montrose Travel has been a pillar of the community since their inception in 1956.
One year ago, Montrose Travel announced its acquisition by Corporate Travel Management, allowing the former family-owned agency to operate on a global scale. This local honor comes at a time when Montrose Travel is experiencing growth like never before, but serves as a reminder of how they have stayed true to their roots.
"We keep our community very close to our hearts," states Montrose Travel President, Joe McClure. "Our company was born here, nurtured here, and grew here." Montrose Travel has continued to be active in the community for the past 60 years by supporting local organizations, sports teams and events, and evidently, it has not gone unappreciated.
Later that same evening, Montrose Travel held their annual Year-End Holiday Awards Party at the Oakmont Country Club in Glendale, California, where a record number of over 400 employees, independent contractors, friends and business partners enjoyed delicious food and drinks, entertainment, comradery and inspirational speeches.
During this joyous event, Montrose Travel celebrated the strongest sales and profit performance in the history of the company and honored a number of the travel industry's strongest performers of individuals and partners who have gone above and beyond to nurture the commitment to their mutual success. From Presidents Club to Partners of the year, everyone from receptionists to travel agents, web developers to travel suppliers were recognized.
After the awards, guests danced the night away with party props, photo booths and hand-made cocktails. This special evening gave Montrose Travel the opportunity to celebrate all the hard work and effort that went into making 2016, their 60th Anniversary, such an incredibly successful year.

Montrose Travel's fun and engaging Adventure Joe campaign wins industry award.
Montrose, CA - Montrose Travel, a division of CTM (ASX:CTD), a $4 Billion global travel powerhouse and nationally recognized Top 12 Travel Management Company, has won TravelAge West's 2017 Trendsetter Award for Best Targeted Marketing.
TravelAge West's annual WAVE Awards, a prestigious, black-tie event attended by industry executives and professionals alike, recognizes top travel suppliers in nearly 75 categories ranging from hotel and cruise line, to tour operator and destination. Among the many awards presented throughout the evening are the Trendsetter Awards, given to travel agents and agencies who have excelled in one of four areas: Best Use of Social Media, Upward Bound Rock Star Agent Under 40, Best Group Booking Sales Effort and Best Targeting Marketing Idea. Each Trendsetter Award is sponsored by an industry-leading travel supplier who actively supports the travel agent community and wishes to honor those standing out from the pack. Two finalists in each category are invited to and recognized at the WAVE Awards.
Entries for this year's Trendsetter Awards were reviewed and voted on by the sponsors and editorial staff of TravelAge West. They were presented at the WAVE Awards ceremony held the evening of June 15th at The Ritz-Carlton in Marina Del Rey, where Montrose Travel proudly took home the win for their creative Adventure Joe campaign.
This multi-faceted, innovative campaign highlighted cruise travel during the 2017 peak booking season, and included a beautiful direct mail piece, a supplier-funded sweepstakes component, and sophisticated online personalization and gamification in the form of a digital "scavenger hunt" – all featuring a fun, animated "Adventure Joe" character.
The campaign engaged thousands of clients nationwide -- garnering over 35,000 impressions -- with a 50% opt-in rate to receive future special offer emails and bulletins. Montrose Travel's efforts resulted in a 31.1% year-over-year increase in cruise bookings during the campaign period alone with increases as high as 117% year-over-year for cruise lines who participated in the campaign itself.
"I am incredibly proud of my team and their hard work," says Chris Martin, Director of Marketing & Application Development at Montrose Travel. "The creativity and innovation they employed payed off and this award is a true testament to their impact within the company."
This is the first Trendsetter Award for Montrose Travel since expanding their marketing efforts to encompass CTM's North America brand, Allure Travel by CTM, and their second marketing-related Trendsetter win in the last four years.
Montrose Travel and CTM host annual Snowpalooza celebrating agent sales and employee appreciation.
Montrose Travel held their annual Summer Awards party and beloved Snowpalooza event on July 8, 2017 at the at the Montrose Travel-owned 2349 Honolulu Avenue parking lot. Now part of the global travel conglomerate Corporate Travel Management (CTM:ASX:CTD), 2017 marks the second year that Montrose Travel has combined the two popular company events for an even larger extravaganza- and it was nothing short of a success.
The celebration began in the early evening with over 300 employees, partners, friends and family members in attendance. The family-friendly atmosphere was highlighted by festive decorations, lively music, an employee-run BBQ station and a 12-foot tall stack of hay covered by an impressive 55 tons of snow. Adults and children alike beat the summer heat by gliding down the man-made slope on sleds and throwing snowballs in enjoyment.
Montrose Travel and CTM leaders, Joe McClure, Founder of Montrose Travel; Travis Markel, SVP Loyalty and Chris Thelen, CEO North America, took to the top of the snow mountain to greet and thank all guests in attendance.

Is Tom Clancy's XDefiant Crossplay?
The various Tom Clancy game series, including Splinter Cell, Ghost Recon, and The Division, all occupy a shared continuity colloquially known as the "Clancyverse." There's not a lot of overlap in the individual games, but the various organizations from each do exist simultaneously. I guess it was only a matter of time before they came into contact with one another, in this case in the form of Tom Clancy's XDefiant, a big crossover multiplayer shooter. But the big question is this: is Tom Clancy's XDefiant crossplay?
Ubisoft has already confirmed that XDefiant will be launching on all major platforms capable of handling it, including PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Ubisoft Connect, as well as cloud gaming platforms such as Google Stadia and Amazon Luna. That's quite a few platforms, and if they didn't overlap, I guarantee the game's community would suffer for it. Thankfully, the developers are aware of that as well, which is why, alongside the game's initial reveal, it was confirmed that all versions of the game will be 100% crossplay compatible with one another.
All XDefiant players will be able to play with all other XDefiant players on any other platform immediately when the game launches… whenever that ends up being. That said, prior to the game's launch, Ubisoft is holding a closed beta test starting on August 5th to work out a few wrinkles and give players a chance to get an early taste. This beta period will not have crossplay, specifically because it'll only be available on PC via Ubisoft Connect. If you don't have a PC capable of running the game, or just don't have a gaming PC at all, then you're unfortunately out of luck until the game releases for real.
What are the XDefiant Classes and Factions?

Q: Paypal IPN Sending Custom variables for the callback I need to send some custom variables like product ID to PayPal. I need this custom travel through the payment process and be passed to my IPN callback URL.
I cant find anywhere how to send custom variables from the basket that can then be retrieved in my call back URL.
How could I do that?

A: The field you're looking for is CUSTOM (at least under NVP) and will be passed back in any IPN calls made regarding that payment. You can see it in this call.

A: In addition to the 'custom' variable, you can also add any arguments you like (as long as they don't conflict with IPN variables) to the notify_url. This technique works best when you supply the notify_url in the form itself.

I transform OLD garments into something new and contemporary. By painting right on the garments, adding unusual materials , collaborating with different artists and using bold bright colors it gives the raw look that I'm looking for. My illustrations are recognizable by their graphic big bold black and white lines. I will create the best if I'm not following the standard ''rules''. My ideas are built around my illustrations and can manifest in various shapes, ranging from tapestry and installations to garments.
I use my illustration to express personal and societal emotions and theme's. I illustrate without and idea or an end goal. The feeling and the flow of the moment will lead into and idea for what the drawing could end up in.
I've always had a fascination for Japan, Japanese subcultures and Japanese pop culture. Over the past years, I have researched different aspects of Japanese youth, mainly those cultural groups that are considered as 'outsiders'. Elements that don't fit in, play quite a big rol in my work. I'm fascinated by creating your own unique version of yourself, escaping the standards and the strict rules.
For my graduation collection I focussed on the world of the Bosozoku, Sukeban and Yankii. What intrigues me the most about Sukeban and Bosozoku girls is that they create their own world. A different world they where asked to live in. Breaking the rules and breaking Japanese standards. Finding their own fascinations for fashion and motorcycles. Belonging to a group who respects your life choices.
In my collection, I created my own girl gang with each girl having her own personality and looks, but still showing togetherness as a whole. It is based on the girls who I experienced in my life and on how I felt when I was left out by the ''norm' or at least what was seen as normal in society. In the collection I will create my own gang by recycling old garments and make it into something new. This is something I used to do myself as I never could find the garments I liked, or they were simply just to boring.
The school uniform has always been a symbol of uniformity but the wearer's will and wishes and youth cultures changed the way people looked at the uniform. In any case, Japanese school uniforms are a one-of-a-kind phenomenon and have become a cultural symbol, recognized by people from all around the world. For Japanese youth in the tumultuous 1970s, Western, sailor-style uniforms were an unwanted symbol of tradition. Indeed, while we tend to see the super "kawaii" (Japanese for cute) sailor suit as a thoroughly modern invention (thanks, Sailor Moon), the seifuku (sailor costume) has been popularised by the education system in Japan since the early 20th century. However, students did not like the standard style and they gradually changed it into a more fashionable version. The altering of the school uniforms leaded to the sukeban boom. The sukeban/yankii girl literally means "girl boss", but in common practice it has the meaning of "delinquent girl". Sukeban is the female version of the Bancho. They where the leaders of the middle and high school gangs, that started to appear in Japan in the 1960s. Both sukeban and tsuppari became somewhat of a phenomenon, bringing forth movies, books, manga, and bands.
Sukeban can be seen as a reaction against the sexual revolution of the 60s, a means of protection by which girls could show that their existence wasn't defined by the desires of male onlookers. Fast forward to the 90s, and this trend had completely reversed itself: by then, the "bad girl" was the one wearing gallons of make-up who had rolled up her skirt's waistband to turn it into a ultra-short mini skirt. In the 21st century all-girl motorcycle gangs, best referred to in English as "speed tribes" emerged when the girlfriends of male biker gang members became fed up of being stuck on the back of the bike. As the expectations for young women to marry and settle continue to be a fact of life in Japan, so too has this all-girl outlaw subculture prevailed as an alternative narrative and alternative way of living for young women.
The idea of my collection is developing my own girl team. Each of the girls has their own individuality and characteristics, but still there is a harmony in the group making each other stronger. Using different elements of a school uniform.
In this thesis we will talk about the history of the school uniforms, the rise of the Sukeban, yankii and bosozoku. and their motives to join these gangs. And how it became more of a show-off your vehicle instead of violent motives.


My name is Nik and I am 27 yo. I am a professional working as a consultant within the construction industry, so I have some (quite specialised) knowledge of the construction process (predominantly new-built). Long term i am looking to set up a construction business (I have a specific niche in mind), however I thought that in the short-mid term i would like to start with a few property development projects. I think that this would be a good way to learn about the industry, meet some useful people and potentially generate some income whilst still working full time. In terms of finance, I have some equity behind me and could also have some input initially from family.
I understand that running a business requires a lot of hard work, knowledge and some more hard work and experience on top of that to succeed. So I want to get myself off to a good start by doing my homework and being as prepared as I can possibly be before I commit any money to this.
I would really appreciate some advice from the experienced developers in terms of what information i should be looking for initially, how to approach market research in the most efficient way, how to find the appropriate advice/contractors/professionals, perhaps some useful courses/literature that I should look at, etc.
I am looking to get my first project completed within the next 12-18 months, but again I do not want to rush into it unless I have a well worked out strategy and business plan. I appreciate the fact that I will probably not make a substantial profit initially, but I am willing to put in the work to gain the right knowledge and experience that will hopefully pay off in the future.
Thanks for reading this lengthy post and i appreciate everyone's time and advice in advance.
For starters, you are doing good participating in forums such as this to gain more knowledge for your future projects. I must say good luck and hopefully you will be successful with this.
Goodluck nik, hopefully you will be successful someday. Thank you for sharing plans in life.
