Will Kraft Heinz Buy Pepsico or Mondelez?
Kraft Heinz Co. (KHC - Get Report) is hungry for a big deal, but can it stomach a fight?
"Based on how quickly they walked away from Unilever last year," Morningstar analyst Erin Lash told TheStreet on Monday, June 18, "they don't seem to want to be involved in a hostile takeover."
In Feb. 2017, Kraft Heinz approached Unilever NV (UN - Get Report) with a $143 billion bid. Yet when Unilever's board and management team opposed it, Kraft Heinz promptly abandoned its plans.
A key difference now is that Warren Buffett is no longer on the Kraft Heinz board, having chosen to step down after his term ended in April. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Inc. (BRK.A - Get Report) owns more than a quarter of Kraft Heinz shares.
Michael S. Lavery of Piper Jaffray wrote in April ahead of Buffett's departure from the board that "While we assume that KHC still much prefers a friendly deal (if only for the simplicity), we wonder if its approach may change once Warren Buffett leaves the board on Monday [April 17, 2018], as he has publicly spoken out against any hostile bids."
Stifel analyst Christoper Growe appears to be all in with Kraft Heinz and its takeover designs. He wrote in a note Monday that PepsiCo Inc. (PEP - Get Report) or Mondelez International Inc (MDLZ - Get Report) could be possible targets for Kraft Heinz.
"We believe Kraft Heinz will lead the industry in consolidation," Growe wrote in a note on Monday, June 18, "and while this opportunity has come and gone in some investors' eyes, we still see the opportunity for a large-scale, transformational acquisition with a focus on buying growing categories, brands that can travel around the world and one capable of creating significant cost savings."
Others are less certain. Lash said the pool for Kraft Heinz acquisitions may be limited and potential targets unwilling to be taken over.
Since Mondelez's new CEO Dirk Van de Put assumed his role in November, she said, the company has been energized by efforts to improve operating margins and roll out new lines, among other initiatives. "Our take is that they are looking to allow those efforts to play out, rather than join up with another industry player," she added.
For PepsiCo's part, it's now turning around its underperforming beverage business and is committed to returning cash to investors, "while balancing ongoing investments in research and development and advertising and market," wrote Wells Fargo analyst Bonnie Herzog in a note on April 30. She added that the bank had seen improvements in the snacks sector, and suggested that long-term investors may see an entry point, due to slips in beverages and modest headwind risk.
Yet, Kraft Heinz is nothing if not eager to get bigger. Kraft Heinz and 3G Capital partner Bernardo Hees told TheStreet in April: "We dream big, and that's not going to go away. We like solid brands, we like businesses that could travel internationally and be global and we like businesses with synergies that you can capture and then reinvest."
In 2013, Berkshire Hathaway and 3G acquired the H. J. Heinz Company in a leveraged buyout, in which each contributed $4.25 billion in equity, and Berkshire took another $8 billion of the preferred stock in the new Heinz company.
Two years later, they joined forced again to combine Heinz with Kraft and create the Kraft Heinz Company, the third-largest food and beverage company in North America and the fifth-largest food and beverage company in the world, by paying shareholders $10 billion in cash, which left Berkshire and 3G with a combined 51% stake and shareholders with the remaining 49%.
The global packaged food brand Kraft Heinz, which makes Oscar Mayer cold cuts, Heinz ketchup and Kraft macaroni and cheese, is dealing with sluggish growth, fresh rivalry from young brands, shrinkage in developed markets and consumers who demand healthier food choices.
Kraft Heinz had no comment. Mondelez responded by saying it does not comment on rumors or speculation. PepsiCo did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TheStreet.
Kraft Heinz was trading slightly down at $60.80 on Monday afternoon; PepsiCo was down nearly 2% at $105.43, and Mondelez was down nearly 2% at $40.09.

                                </form>

Вот обработчик
    <?php
// add event
    if(isset($_POST['btn_new_event'])){

    $category = ""; в эту переменную нужно занести название равное $id_cat(ниже)
    $id_cat = $_POST['cat_event'];
    $location = "";а в эту переменную нужно занести название равное $id_loc(ниже)
    $id_loc = $_POST['location_event'];
    $post_event = $_SESSION['user']['username'];
    // image
    $uploaddir= '../img/eventimg/';

    if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['img_event']['tmp_name'], $fot_dir)) {
    $result_query_ev = "INSERT INTO `events` (`title`, `pre_event`, `image`, `id_cat_event`, `post_event`, `start_event`, `end_event`, `add_event`, `big_event`, `id_loc_event`, `text_category`, `text_location`, `id_user`) VALUES ('$title','$preview_event', '$fot_dir','$id_cat', '$post_event', '$start_date_event', '$end_date_event', '$add_date_event', '$full_event', '$id_loc', '$category', '$location', '$id_user')";
    $result_add = mysqli_query($conn,$result_query_ev) or die(mysqli_error($conn));
    if($result_add) {
        echo "";
    } else {
        echo "";
    }
}}
?>

A: Ну можно попробовать так
заменить
<?php while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($categories)){ ?>
    <option value="<?php echo $row['id'] ?>"><?php echo $row['category'] ?></option>
<?php } ?>

на
<?php while($row = mysqli_fetch_array($categories)){ ?>
    <option value="<?= $row['id'] . '_' . $row['category'] ?>"><?= $row['category'] ?></option>
<?php } ?>

и в скрипте
$category_data = explode('_', $_POST['cat_event']);
$id_cat = category_data[0];
$name_cat = category_data[1];

As a class project, I was asked to create a new logo and menu layout for Johnny Mango Cafe and Bar.
For the logo, I chose a fun bouncy typeface, and wanted to incorporate a globe to symbolize the worldly cuisine.
On the menu itself, I used a citrus color scheme and carried the round shapes throughout the design.

Marketing kit is a collection of promotional materials telling about the company, its work and features. In fact, this is a kind of presentation, which is designed to present the company in the best light. The very term marketing kit is translated from English as "marketing kit".
Marketing whales are created for potential customers, partners, distributors or suppliers. Their main goal is to show that it is profitable to cooperate with the company. However, the same advertising presentation can be used by individuals.
There are several options for marketing whale. First of all, these are various printed materials: booklets, brochures and even small books. But the most popular design method is folders on the rings, where, if necessary, you can easily add new pages. Such folders are distributed at exhibitions and during negotiations, handed over to interested companies and "cold" clients.
With the advent of the Internet, digital marketing whales have also appeared. These include PDF files, PowerPoint presentations, and one-page landing pages. Such materials are conveniently sent to customers by mail or given in the form of links.
This includes blocks with general information, history of the company, description of products and services, address of the manager, mission, plans for the future, etc. All this will help a potential partner to get acquainted with the company and understand how "fit" to each other.
Here you need to tell customers and partners what benefits they can get. In these blocks, lists of advantages, detuning from competitors, cases, statistics, schemes of work, closing of objections and other selling elements are placed.
Social evidence. The purpose of these blocks is to show the reliability of the company. Here are customer reviews, talk about well-known partners and the awards received.
Contacts and calls to action - for those who are interested and want to cooperate.
1. Marketing whale can not be done just for the sake of a tick or "so that it is like everyone else." Otherwise, the money will be wasted, and within five minutes the customers will secretly throw out brochures in the nearest ballot box. Mareketing kit can be a powerful sales tool. But for this you need to seriously approach to its creation and conduct an in-depth marketing analysis.
2. You can not use the templates or in the design, much less in the content. The design of the marketing whale and its content should emphasize the uniqueness of the company, show its strengths. Template materials do not attract attention and are not remembered.
3. Persuasiveness. Texts for marketing whales are written without broken phrases and empty boasting, otherwise they will be of interest only to company executives. And for potential partners, much more important are specific facts that will help you make an informed decision about cooperation.
4. Brevity. In the marketing whale, information is given in a concise, bright and accessible, without unnecessary details and lyrical digressions. Its pages are designed on the same principle as the landing blocks: less text, more meaning, reliance on graphics. The reader must quickly find the necessary information and capture its essence.


The papers had been waiting patiently in my bag since the morning.
Trapped in the post-examination time-out session, I pulled out the blue file and began to read.
Behind me, I could hear the chaos of question-reviewing.
And other bits and pieces regarding the perineal body, enteroccous species, and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. But with a few words, I became disconnected from my surroundings.
I was far, far away. And I was much more than just a spectator: I was sitting cross-legged listening to the Friday sermon myself, admiring the exquisite design of the pillars of the mosque myself, and I too met the Sheikh who had a white beard borrowed from the clouds. He was just one of those people you feel comfortable with upon first encounter, and I took a piece of his silent wisdom with me forever.
They were in Amman… they were in a small, cramped-up, dull room.. some revising mistakes, some gloating over their clever answers, and some adamantly making a case for why they put "All of the above".
Meanwhile, I was in Madinah, where some were reading Quran, some standing in prayer, and some engulfed in prostration whispering supplication after supplication. I too was in the Prophet's city , being torn apart, fighting the lump in my throat trying to say goodbye. I entered Rawdet Al-Jannah to pray two rak'ahs myself (although my recall of the experience was more traumatic, as the space was extremely limited and packed). I too, left in unbearable tears.
They were still in Amman. Still arguing that the correct answer was "C" without doubt.
I continued on to reach Meccah; reliving my countless visits there. I could feel the cold, white tiles underneath my feet. There I was, circling around the Ka'ba, the only place where one walks in circles out of unity and not out of confusion or lack of direction or purpose. Then my eyes fell upon the black stone, our blessed connection to heaven, and I wondered whether I would be able to approach it up close. Fortunately, everything was unfolding smoothly today, and I made my way through the crowds to greet the stone our Prophet once marked with his own lips.
Soon enough, it was time to be released from their custody (back in Amman) and leave that small room. I looked around and realized how detached I'd been while we were all waiting for our freedom.
Just as he pulled out the Siwak from his pocket, I pulled out those papers from my bag.
For there are memoirs that can take you away… small, unexpected objects, that allow you to peacefully disconnect-to enter another time, another place, another state of mind.
في كل يوم نضيف لقصتنا سطرا أحلى من السطور الأولى , فمرة نخط سطر تشابه بيننا غريب , تشابه ليس بكلمة عادية أو بتوقيت تخرج فيه الكلمات , وانما تشابه تفكير وتركيب ورؤية للحياة , ومرة أخرى نخط سطرا نتغنى فيه بأمر لفت نظرنا الاثنتنين , كاسوارة مثلا او بلاحرى هي فقط الاسوارة دون امثلة أخرى .
فيارب أكمل لنا هذه القصة بسطر نخطه معا على ضفاف الكوثر وفي أنوارك تحت ظل عرشك .

Bianca Ojukwu's senatorial ambition, endorsement plan plunges APGA into crisis
The recent declaration by Amb. Bianca Ojukwu, wife of late Dim Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu, for the Anambra South Senatorial district election is currently unsettling stakeholders of the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA) in Anambra State.
Mrs Ojukwu had a week ago declared her intention to run for the senatorial position, even though there have been rumours that she had previously secured the backing of some leaders of the party to clinch the APGA ticket.
Mrs Ojukwu would be running for the ticket of the party against the trio of Mr Ifeanyi Ubah of Capital Oil, Prince Nicholas Ukachukwu and Hon Ikenna Mbazulike Amaechi, all grassroots politicians.
DAILY POST gathered that pressure on the state chairman of the party, Chief Nobert Obi by some of its national leaders to endorse the wife of their demised leader was causing ripples in the party.
A stakeholder in the party, and coordinator of Anambra South Integrity Forum (ASIF), a pressure group in the party, Chief Olisaemeka Muoma confirmed the news to DAILY POST during an interview, saying that the development was worrisome.
He said, "It is sad and unfortunate that the internal democracy of our great party is being destroyed by the wife of our late leader, Dim Chukwuemeka Odimegwu Ojukwu.
"She has been going about threatening to deal with any person or group of persons that would want to oppose her ambition. Bianca Ojukwu has vowed to create crisis of confusion in our party and to ensure that her opponents and fellow aspirants are expelled from the party if she is not given the senatorial ticket on a platter of gold."
"Her supporters have been boasting that not even governor Chief Willie Obiano and his wife can stop her from flying the flag of the party in 2019 National Assembly Election."
Muoma said speaking as chairman of Anambra South Integrity Forum made up of supporters of other senatorial aspirants, it will not sit back and watch, but ensure that the Anambra South senatorial primary elections of the party was conducted in line with the constitution of APGA.
"Our party has a constitution which stipulates the guidelines for the conduct of primary election in APGA and it must be followed to the later. We urge the National Chairman of our great party, Ozo Victor Oye not to allow himself to be used to destroy the party by handing over the Anambra South Senatorial ticket of our party to anyone on a platter, rather than holding a credible primary election.
In a previous interview, however, National chairman of the party, Chief Oye had denied that the party had any preference for Mrs Ojukwu or anyone of the aspirants from the zone.
He promised that the party would not destroy the internal democratic structures it had built over the years by favouring any aspirant above others.

Q: Efficient ways to display/scroll through large R objects I am working with large (sparse) matrices and large data.frames in R quite extensively. Currently I am trying to set up covariance factor matrices for factors that have a lot of levels (usually >40). I check if I set up the covariance factors right by doing some simple tests (e.g. by checking the dimensions or performing task-specific matrix calculations which I expect to output certain values) but I also like to look at the objects with my own eyes and check if the values are stored in the right column and row. E.g. if I expect say 2.3 at position (i,j) of matrix M I subset it accordingly and check if the correct value is at position (i,j).
But a lot of times I set up things like block diagonal matrices (which can be very large) at which I also like to look. More specifically I would like to scroll through them horizontally and vertically. I usually invoke page(object, "print"). But this only allows me to scroll vertically and not horizontally. For data.frames that are wider than the current display I can use View or even edit. However neither of those are applicable to objects of e.g. class dgCMatrix.
Here is a little example of a sparse matrix that I would like to be able to scroll through horizontally and vertically:
library(Matrix)
A <- model.matrix(~rep(rep(factor(1:2),
                           each = 2),
                       times = 2800))
B <- t(as(rep(factor(1:70),
              each = 160),
          Class = "sparseMatrix"))
C <- t(as(rep(rep(factor(1:40),
                  each = 4),
              times = 70),
          Class = "sparseMatrix"))

D <- t(KhatriRao(t(B), t(A)))
E <- t(KhatriRao(t(C), t(A)))

# This is an example of an object I would like to scroll through.
# If your display should happen to be big enough just take the
# transpose of F:

F <- cBind(D, E)

Some basic info about the way I use R:
(1) I am using R from a simple repl session with xterm and tmux and would very much like to keep it that way. Hence, solutions involving any king of GUI will not work for me.
(2) The only additional package that is constantly loaded when I'm in an R session is the setwidth package which automatically resizes the width of terminal emulators. It only maximizes the possible horizontal output and hence has no negative effect (I am aware of. Also I can easily override its settings by using options(width=10000); the current default maximum width of R.). To be sure I disabled the package on startup. All solutions I tried (edit and page(object, "print")) still will not allow me to scroll horizontally.
(3) I use vi editing mode in my repl session and I am usually scrolling using h, j, k, l.
What is the most efficient way to display such objects in R? I would be very happy if someone has had the same problem and found a solution to it.

A: One way to do it is to convert to a normal matrix and use fix, though it may not be the most efficient:
F2<-as(F, "matrix")
fix(F2)

If you want to not see 0s, you could do something like this:
F2[F2==0] <- "."
fix(F2)


While whiling away my time on instagram one fine day, I came across Sarah Siroky's feed and I'm all for a feed filled with gorgeous pictures but I especially love it when a feed is like a mini diary. That to me, is what Sarah's feed looks like. It shows a little behind the scenes into her life which makes it so relatable! Still beautiful images, but with a story behind each of them.

02 Academy Birmingham
Fratellis bringing some sunshine to children's charity
SCOTTISH trio The Fratellis have had a memorable couple of years.
When they burst onto the indie-scene with the song Chelsea Dagger, the single quickly became not only an indie-club favourite but quickly gained anthem status and is still being sung on football terraces nationwide.
2008 has seen them return with the album Here We Stand and they're currently on a UK tour which plays Birmingham Carling Academy tonight and Wolverhampton Civic Hall tomorrow.
The proceeds from their single Look Out Sunshine were donated to the Teenage Cancer Trust's campaign in a bid to help raise £350,000 for a new unit at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children in Yorkhill, Glasgow.
Jon: Loud, brash, abrasive and abusive.
HOW DID YOU ALL MEET?
Jon: We all had adverts up in a music shop for musicians wanted. Baz (Barry) replied to me, I replied to Mince and there we were - three people who turned up each wanting to start a band.
Barry: It's quite lucky, I've done that loads of times and joined lots of bands and this time around we found three people who really wanted it.
DID YOU HAVE SIMILAR IDEAS OF WHAT YOU'D LIKE TO PRODUCE FROM THE OUTSET?
Barry: No! I remember turning up on the first day and being like 'this is the kind of band I want to do, do you know these bands?' and getting a 'No' in return. And then Mince's ad said something like 'only artists who want to conquer the world need apply'.
Jon: So we both thought, he seems like a prick!
Barry: But he came around and was an amazing musician so it just shows you not to judge.
WHAT OTHER ARTISTS DO YOU LOOK UP TO?
Jon: Bright Eyes are great, I love that song Get-Well Cards - the third song on the new Conor Oberst album and it's funny because on the album before, his best song was the third one as well, I think he does that on purpose.
Barry: I'm loving the latest Elbow record, I think I got it just before it came out and I've always liked some of their stuff but I've been listening to it non-stop.
WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO GIVE YOUR PROCEEDS FROM THE SINGLE LOOK OUT SUNSHINE TO THE TEENAGE CANCER TRUST?
Barry: We've been involved with them for a while, we played the Royal Albert Hall for the Trust. Roger Daltrey is one of the patrons of the charity so we've done some stuff through that.
At the time we said 'if there's anything else we can do please don't hesitate to let us know.'
"We ended up going to visit in Glasgow and heard they are trying to open a new unit and it turned out they're not getting much funding off anybody, so it's one of the ways we thought we could help.
"We just told the label that's what we're doing and I hope it works out because it really is a fantastic charity and it really needs all the funding it can get, especially because it's in Glasgow, for the younger kids, so I guess it's closer to our hearts.
WHAT ABOUT THE FUTURE?
Jon: We'd like to make more records. We're quite hungry to make more music, you don't always get the opportunity to do it the way we do. I think after this album we might change; we've been having talks the past few weeks, just about making music. There's a lot of possibilities if you just concentrate on making music. It seems kind of funny to make an album and then spend a year-and-a-half playing it to people - it's a strange way of living your life.
Barry: So that's something we're going to try, I don't know how we're going to do it.
Jon: We're just going to have to put our foot down and say we need to concentrate.

Guardamar Del Segura is located in the province of Alicante. Alicante is one of the South Eastern provinces in Spain; it enjoys great weather throughout the year especially in the summer when temperatures can reach over 40 degrees. The town sits on the Costa Blanca and this location affords it plenty of access to the tourist markets of northern Europe. Many people are also beginning to appear from Russia and other Eastern European countries.
During the winter time, Guardamar Del Segura is a quiet retiring seaside town. Many of its restaurants and bars are still open, and you will still find plenty to do here. It is during the summer months that this town really comes to life. The tourist season starts to kick in around the beginning of June as all the schools finish for their summer recess, and families begin to take their annual holidays.
Water sports are very popular here throughout the year, but as you can imagine the popularity rises along with the temperature of the sea. The different water sports that you can partake in within the confines of Guardamar include windsurfing, snorkelling, diving, swimming, jet skiing, and sailing. There are also other sports that you can enjoy including paragliding, tennis, soccer, beach volleyball, and badminton.
One of the star attractions of this 14 km long stretch of coastline are the sand dunes. These sand dunes are a protected area which has been designated as such and fenced off in certain parts while a certain level of regeneration takes place. Behind the protected sand dunes are more sand dunes which are open to the public and where you will find natural pine forest. There are plenty of trails going up through this pine forest leading you back to Guardamar, to Torrevieja in the South, or to the main Guardamar to Torrevieja road.
One of the best times to come to Guardamar is during a fiesta. A fiesta is basically a Spanish party, normally on a very large scale. Fiestas are held throughout Spain for religious events, coinciding with Christmas or Easter, and every town has a fiesta for its patron saint. But there are also fiestas which celebrate famous events in history. In the Alicante region, one of the largest fiestas is that which celebrates the battles between the Moors and Christians. Although these battles were over long ago, the commemorations last until this day, and normally consist of huge processions which stretch from one end of the street to the other, several lasting for hours on end. This is the case with the Moors and Christians Festival in Guardamar which will normally start at about 10 o'clock at night and generally lasts until well after midnight.
If you're looking for cheap food in Guardamar Del Segura, try to avoid eating on the promenade. The promenade, although beautiful to look at, often offers only food that is eaten by Northern European tourists, and the prices can be on the expensive side relative to the local area. If you scour the side roads and backstreets Guardamar you will come across some beautiful Spanish restaurants which serve the best of Spanish cuisine. The cuisine in this region is often very fresh, having just come straight from the field or the sea.
One last thing, there is the general market in the town which is held every Wednesday from 8 o'clock in the morning until approximately 1 o'clock in the afternoon. Here you will find local grown fruit and vegetables, clothing and shoes, fresh meats, olives, nuts and sweeties. There is also an evening market held every evening during the summer months which starts at about eight o'clock, located on the road from the old town Square down towards the beach. Here you will find all sorts of trinkets and tourist items. It's very pleasant to take a walk down amongst these market stalls to while away a warm summer evening.

Roma Wins Big at The Critic Choice Awards as Lady Gaga and Glenn Close Tie For Best Actress
Suzanna Bowling
Taye Diggs
The very first Critics' Choice Awards in 1996, had Ed Harris and Kevin Spacey tie for Best Actor. My guess is the CCA's would like to forget that. As Taye Diggs hosted two sets of ties made news. The first was Glenn Close (The Wife) and Lady Gaga (A Star Is Born) who tied for the Best Actress award. Close was happy to share the award, saying "I am so thrilled it's a tie, I can't tell you! I was thinking that, you know, the world kind of pits us against each other in this profession. And I know from all the women in this category, and I think I can speak for all the women in this room, we celebrate each other." Lady Gaga stated "My mother and Glenn are good friends. So I'm so happy that you won this this evening."
How appropriate that Diggs hosted as Rent is coming to NBC Tuesday, Jan. 27 at 10 P.M. on FOX. Diggs was in the original musical.
Amy Adams, Patricia Arquette
Best Actress in a Movie Made for Television or Limited Series saw Amy Adams (Sharp Objects) and Patricia Arquette (Escape at Dannemora) tied. While traditionally each winner receives their awards separately, Adams insisted that they accept at the same time. Adams, also tied in 2006.

People gather in downtown for the 39th annual Victorian Stroll on Sunday, Dec. 5, 2021, in Troy, N.Y.
Each December, Troy has kicked off the holiday season with the Victorian Stroll — and this year the holiday tradition turns 40. Crowds bundled in cozy scarves and Victorian garb descend upon downtown for a day of shopping, food and entertainment that culminates with the City of Troy's Christmas tree lighting ceremony. Here's everything you need to know about this year's stroll to keep the day merry and bright.
When: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 4
Where: Downtown Troy
Parking: As the name implies, the Victorian Stroll is a walking event, so there are road closures to consider. The event recommends using the following parking lots and garages (note most are pay-to-park):
Hedley Park Place Lot: free parking in front of River Street Market
Blitman Lot
Front Street Lot
Fifth Avenue Garage
State Street Garage
Congress Street Parking Lot: accessible via southbound on 5th Avenue
Russell Sage Campus
After parking, you can either walk or take the trolley to the heart of the action. Rumor has it a certain special guest from the North Pole will be riding the trolley too, so be good unless you're looking for a lump of coal in this year's stocking.
If you want to avoid parking altogether and decide to take an Uber or Lyft, the Victorian Stroll has a designated pick-up/drop-off location at 5 Third St., Troy.
The story of the stroll

The Victorian Stroll grew from another traditional Troy event: the Holiday Greens Show. The Van Rensselaer Garden Club produced the first Greens Show in 1956 when the Hart Cluett Mansion was donated to the former Rensselaer County Historical Society, known today as the Hart Cluett Museum. The Garden Club swathed the Victorian mansion in festive greenery, trees and flowers annually, establishing one of the museum's most popular exhibits.
In 1982, the Victorian Stroll was created to expand upon the success of the Holiday Greens Show. The Stroll's events are strategically scattered throughout downtown Troy to encourage visitors to explore the city and take in its culture, architecture and history. It's been held every year since its inception 10 days after Thanksgiving, with temporary expansions from a one-day event to multi-day events in 2020 and 2021 to limit crowding during the height of COVID-19 and the Delta variant.
The stroll is a celebration of the city's past, present and future. Victorian attire is not required but encouraged for an extra dose of festive fun.

The 66th annual Holiday Greens Show: It's the event that started the stroll. The Van Rensselaer Garden Club will transform the Hart Cluett Museum into a verdant holiday display from Dec. 1-4. This year's theme is "Troy Meets the Gilded Age" and will use Gilded Era flowers along with festive greenery and other seasonal plants. The Victorian Stroll is the last day of the Holiday Greens Show, and timed entry tickets are required for either the 12 p.m. or 2:30 p.m tour. Admission is free for children under 18 and $15 for adults. Space is limited, so order your tickets now online.
Troy Glow: This year, the Arts Center of the Capital Region is launching Troy Glow, a public light festival running 4:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. daily Dec. 4 through Jan. 9. Regional artists created six, light-based artworks that will be installed throughout the Collar City, along with works at seven partner organizations. The Christmas tree lighting in Monument Square at 4:30 p.m. at the Victorian Stroll will officially ignite Troy Glow. Estimated walking time for Troy Glow is 25 minutes, and it's accompanied by a special exhibit at the Arts Center.
Window decorating contest: Each year, local businesses get into the holiday spirit with decked out window displays. As you wander downtown, check out the different decorations and vote online for your favorite.
Paul Buckowski/Times Union
Shopping: The Victorian Stroll is the perfect time to do some (or all) of your holiday shopping. In addition to the local brick-and-mortar stores, regional artisans set up shop in the Atrium and along the streets selling gifts that work for any budget.
Live entertainment: From Santa on saxophone to dance concerts, there is no shortage of entertainment during the Victorian Stroll. Check the stroll's website regularly for an updated schedule of events.

We had a good Thanksgiving weekend with the Grandparents and Auntie Nicole visiting from Red Deer. Grandpa got most of my fall yardwork done for me so I was especially thankful. This week we attended our second homeroutes concert and heard Mary Murphy – a great evening of Irish music. Her guitar player/spouse Paul can really play.
Oh ya – we voted, appears the country wants a minority, the question is how long our politicians will play nice together I guess – until we do it all over again. Somewhere I read that in the 50's & 60's we had 4 minority governments in a row – so I guess all of this might not be as new as we might think.
In the 1963 election, the Liberals, led by Lester B. Pearson, were also unable to win a majority. The next three years were productive ones, however, as a close working relationship between the Liberals and the New Democratic Party (NDP) resulted in the introduction of Canada's health care system, the Canadian flag, and the Canada Pension Plan. In 1965, Pearson asked the Governnor General to dissolve Parliament in an attempt to win a majority, but the make up of parliament after the 1965 election remained almost exactly the same, leading to three more years of a productive alliance between the Liberals and NDP.
I like Mr. Harper – and think he's doing a fine job so far… some good ideas coming out and he's at least as good as our last PM – but some of my friends are Liberal/Democrat/NDP/gun registry loving types (see blog here and here) and I thought they might like this.
For those of you who haven't yet experienced Wikipedia you need to check it out. Web savvy, cool somewhat geeky types reading this bear with me, but for the rest of us, basically it's an online Encyclopedia that's completely free to access… and here's the crazy part – anyone can edit it – what a great concept.
Anyway – if you want to know more about Tommy Douglas, Wikipedia has a great summary here. I also spent some time reading on the Freemasons this afternoon, a group which, by the way, Tommy was a member of. Very interesting.
I have this book on the way to tell me a few more things about the guy – a steal of a deal from Ebay.
1. Our greatest Canadian is from SK? How good is that?
2. I've heard his name but did he really do all that much?
Well I caught the last half of a "Life & Times" show the other night and learned a few neat things about Tommy. First, the guy seemed to be a man of integrity, even throughout decades of politics – something that earns my respect, especially compared to the politicians that I've watched through my adult life. Second, his grandson is Keifer Sutherland – very interesting. Third, he must have had a huge impact on my little province – not all good I think, but I've always thought the differences between Alberta and SK are very interesting – would it be fair to say he had a lot to do with that?
I'm going to buy a book about him and learn a bit more about his life I think.


Keeping down the cost of reprints and books in lesser condition?
It doesn't matter if you collect books, toys, cars, dolls or anything else the first of any item is always going to be the most valuable.
Most of you have seen people trying to sell a five-digit Disney title like Dumbo for $10.00. As collectors, you know how to tell the different editions. I would very much doubt that any of you would buy it. Why? Because for one thing you can figure on finding a 42 page reprint for $10 - $15. So why buy a 24 page one for $10.00.. Now you knew that, but someone who remembers that story of Dumbo would probably not. All they know is "I have to have that book", so they pay the price. Now the sellers thinks" If someone is going to pay me $10.00 for that Little Golden Book what can I get for these others that are only a little worn." *Sellers definition of Little Worn: a book that has been teethed on two comers, back cover held on by 1" of paper, Little Johnny colored the faces but it is done neatly) and are you sure this page wasn't supposed be tom in half. I've exaggerated but I'm sure you get the picture.
Now you see this 1st edition of the little worn book and it has a price of $8.00, can you imagine what they would ask for the book in mint condition. $40.00? Do you buy it at this price? If you said yes I either hope the book is very rare and/or it's the only book you need to finish your collection because you just made it harder for anyone to get a fair price from this seller in the future. As with any collectible it is only worth what you feel it is worth. If you feel its worth only $2.00 as a filler until you can find a better copy then buy it. But always keep in mind when buying a lesser quality book, you're probably going to spend more to upgrade it. When you bought that poor book for $ 8.0 0 you just told the seller to charge you more next time for a nicer one.
If you're finding them at garage or flea markets you may get a chance to find a deal. But if you're flea markets are like mine out here everybody's an antique dealer. There are quite a few respectable dealers but we're seeing more and more people selling many different items and experience in none.
If you were to ask fifty dealers where they got their prices that their selling Little Golden Books for, you'd get almost 50 different answers.
They might say, "I got the prices out of the price guide." Did they now. Did they read the price guide to find out about different editions or when the book was really printed. You all have seen books that seller has written 1956 printing on the tag and yet the book shows a picture of Bert and Ernie from Sesame Street on the back cover. I have politely said, "This is not correct". "What do you mean it's not correct the copyright says 1956, see." "But it shows Bert, right here on the back cover , and he didn't become famous until many years later." At his point most dealers say, "Thanks for pointing that out I didn't know". I have also had a few get upset with me for poking my nose in their business. The later being a minority.
Some other methods sellers use to price books are, "Oh, this is an old book.", "Anything that has to do with Christmas people pay more for.", "I just thought it up.", "Well, this book is doll related." and "I think it's cute''. We have all heard remarks like these and many more when out on our quest for Little Golden Books. Because of the different types of people that sell Little Golden Books we are going to see many different prices and hear many different reasons for their prices. I have met people that tell me they got their prices out of my guide. Yet the book is destroyed and they are asking the mint price. Why? Because most dealers do not read guides, they just use the values without any idea of what the mean. I'm not saying that when you see a price in my book that you will buy it for that amount. The prices shown are a guide, they are meant to show which book or type of book will be worth more then another and to give an idea of the approximate value. I had a dealer come up to me the other day with a 7th printing of The Three Little Kittens. She wanted to know if the price she had on the book was a good price. The book was in less than Good condition. The price a mere $45.00. She was really sincere about the question. She said, "This is the first Little Golden Book." "Yes, it is the first story but it's a reprint", I told her. Even if it had been a 1st edition the book in the condition it was in was hardly worth $10.00 let alone $45.00.
So is there away to keep the price of reprints down? Probably not. If you think a book is over priced because it's a reprint, or the condition is bad for the price let the seller know. The seller may not have known that the book was a reprint or had a blemish. Quite a few times I've found that the seller will lower the price. If the price is still not what you feel it's worth don't buy it. Now that doesn't mean it's not going to be sold later to someone else, it just means it's worth more to someone else. Little Golden books are somewhat like a runaway train right now and I have no idea when it's going to stop.

A: You have to use the signals that are emitted when the number of rows of the model associated with the view changes, those signals must invoke a method that updates the state of the button based on the number of items in the QListWidget:
class AppDemo(QMainWindow):
    def __init__(self):
        super().__init__()
        self.resize(1200, 600)

        self.listbox_view = ListBoxWidget(self)
        self.listbox_view.model().modelReset.connect(self.handle_rows_changed)
        self.listbox_view.model().rowsInserted.connect(self.handle_rows_changed)
        self.listbox_view.model().rowsRemoved.connect(self.handle_rows_changed)
        self.listbox_view.model().layoutChanged.connect(self.handle_rows_changed)

        self.btn = QPushButton("Get Value", self)
        self.btn.setEnabled(False)
        self.btn.setGeometry(850, 400, 200, 50)
        self.btn.clicked.connect(lambda: print(self.getSelectedItem()))

    def getSelectedItem(self):
        item = self.listbox_view.currentItem()
        return item.text() if item is not None else ""

    def handle_rows_changed(self):

Medical Marijuana, Illinois
How Big Will the Illinois MMJ Market Be? Depends on Who You Ask
Entrepreneurs rejoice. Crain's Chicago Business reported last week that the state of Illinois is expecting 75,000 to 100,000 applicants for medical marijuana patient permits in the first year of its medical marijuana pilot program. With that many patients spread across only 22 cultivation centers and 60 dispensaries around the state, and the fact that each patient can purchase 2.5 ounces of marijuana every two weeks, there's a sizable piece of pie for everyone.
Or is there?
Illinois' NORML chapter head Dan Linn tells Crain's NORML estimates the number of cannabis patients will be closer to 15,000 to 30,000 in the first year. Frankly, it is hard to know whose estimate is closer to reality. Colorado, with a population of approximately 5 million residents (according to census.gov), has registered approximately 115,000 patients since 2001. Illinois has a population of more than two and a half times Colorado's, but it also has a significantly more restrictive medical cannabis regime. In other words, far fewer people will qualify for MMJ in Illinois, largely because Illinois' Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Pilot Program Act does not include generalized pain as a qualifying condition for a patient card. When you consider that 94% of Colorado card holders qualified due to "severe pain," the prospect of a robust first-year MMJ patient enrollment in Illinois seems somewhat dim.
Crain's also quotes principals of California-based MedMen and Chicago-based Good Intentions as excepting 30,000 to 50,000 patients in the first year, and 400,000 applicants, respectively. We take these figures with a grain of salt, since it is in the best interest of consultants to exaggerate the potential market. We've blogged before on the pitfalls of engaging consultants and the legal difficulties of Good Intentions. MedMen also seems to have its doubters. Bottom line though, is that it is anyone's guess how many patients will be buying medical cannabis in Illinois early next year. If there is big money to be made in this market, it will probably stem more from the limited number of growers and dispensers, than from the huge numbers of patients.
But we (especially our Chicago office) would love to be proven wrong.

'A day without a woman' strike: What to expect
Thousands of women around the world are expected to participate in `A Day Without Women.`

Schools and school districts have announced ahead of the national "A Day Without a Woman" strike planned for Wednesday that they will be closed, as much of their staffs plan to participate in the demonstration.
In New York, Virginia, and North Carolina, schools, from preschools to colleges have announced cancellations, while elsewhere groups plan to stage walkouts , marches , donation drives , or silent protests throughout the day.
The strike's organizers, who also coordinated the massive Women's March on Washington on Jan. 21, have encouraged participants to refrain from work on Wednesday — which is also International Women's Day — to wear red, and to only shop at businesses owned by women. The goal is to to underscore the "economic power and significance that women have in the U.S. and global economies, while calling attention to the economic injustices women and gender nonconforming people continue to face," organizers said in a statement .
Here is more information on how participants are getting involved in the strike:
1. Wear RED in solidarity
2. Women strike from paid and unpaid work
3. Avoid spending money (with exceptions for small, women and minority-owned businesses)
4. Tweet and post what you're striking for on 3/8 using the hashtag #IStrikeFor.
5. Post a photo of yourself on social media with this caption: "A #DayWithoutAWoman is a day without me."
The effects of the strike could be wide-reaching: women make up more than 75 percent of the nearly 4 million members of the nation's elementary and secondary school teaching force, according to the U.S. Department of Education. Behind secretarial and administrative positions, teaching is the second most common occupation for American women.
Some districts, like the Chapel Hill-Carrboro City School District (CHCCS) in Chapel Hill, North Carolina, and the Alexandria City Public School District in Alexandria, Virginia, admit their decisions to close are not politically-motivated, but practical.
"It is my determination that we will not have enough staff to safely run our school district," said CHCCS District Interim Superintendent Dr. Jim Causby in a Thursday note to parents . "While Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools values and supports its female employees, the decision to close schools is not a political statement. It is entirely about the safety of students and the district's inability to operate with a high number of staff absences."
Twenty percent — or 400 of CHCCS' 2000 staff members across its 20 schools — are expected to be absent on Wednesday, a district spokesman said. Typically, only 100 are absent on a given day.
Not everyone is happy with the district's decision to shutter operations.
"What about the single moms or dads that now have to stay home and won't get paid for that day?" Jessica Miller Hackett, a CHCCS parent, asked on Facebook in a response to the district's statement . "What about people that don't have family nearby to watch their children? What if a parent has no [vacation] time to take and they could possibly get fired? It's not just standing up for a cause — it could be potentially very damaging to some families."
Hackett's criticism resonates not only with other commenters, but also with other women who feel those with economic constraints will be left out of the event. The National Women's Law Center (NWLC) reports that in North Carolina alone, women make up almost 70 percent of the state's minimum wage workers. Nationally, women account for almost two-thirds of minimum wage workers. Most are immigrants and women of color.
Deciding to participate in the strike can be "complicated" for these women, advocates said, especially if they work low-wage jobs with unpredictable schedules, or will need childcare.
"One group of underpaid women is depending on another group of underpaid women to perform really essential work for our economy and for each other," said Julie Vogtman, director of income support policy at the NWLC.
Though complex, Vogtman asserts, the dilemma illustrates just how much the American economy is "tied up with women's work."
The strike's organizers have acknowledged complaints that this is a "protest of the privileged."
"It is evident that the intersecting identities of women mean we experience widely different degrees of privilege or lack thereof," the group said on their website. "Everyone has a role to play. Women and allies with greater privilege are called to leverage that resource for social good on March 8. However, everyone's involvement signifies an equal commitment to the day, especially those who experience greater vulnerability to discrimination and exclusion."
Advocates and organizers say that even if they cannot miss work, most women can still participate. Supporters are still encouraged to don red in solidarity, and refrain from shopping at businesses not owned by women to illustrate the "power of the purse," Vogtman said.
Despite criticism, the day of protest has already garnered massive support, with thousands expected to participate .
