The Most Shameless Food Product Placement in Video Games
Uber Eats Tests Option to 'Dine-In' at Restaurants
KFC's Loaded Cheetos Sandwich Is Here to Sabotage Healthy Diets
If we had our way, we'd do nothing but play video games all day every day. But eventually those pesky bodily needs get in the way, and we have to stop to do things like "sleep" and "eat" and "apply bandages." But don't get us wrong. Food is great, too. If only there was a way to make the game-to-food transition easier. What if the games themselves let us know about delicious food worth putting the controller down for?
Thanks to the crushing, blood-soaked gears of capitalism, there's a chance that games you pay money for will still blast you with ads for other products, including food. There's nothing wrong with games about food. Cooking Mama is a wonderful woman and Iron Chef makes perfect sense as a video game. We're talking about games chock full of egregious branding that just happens to be for food. Here are the most shameless examples of food product placement in video games.
Final Fantasy XV: Cup Noodles
The most recent and arguably hilarious example, Final Fantasy XV is a massive, sprawling JRPG that took a decade to make and still released a little unfinished. Square Enix hasn't been shy about how much money the game needs to make to earn back its development costs. To help ease the burden, as well as make the game's "realistic fantasy" vibe more believable, Noctis and the gang use real-world brands throughout their adventures like Coleman camping equipment and Cup Noodles. In fact, the game stops dead in its tracks for the characters to basically read a commercial about how delicious Cup Noodles are. I don't know about the rest of you, but that's my fantasy right there.
Darkened Skye: The Skittles Game
Darkened Skye is an insidious bit of product placement disguised as a game. At first, it just seems like a ho-hum, fantasy, action-adventure game. "Tomb Raider-style adventure with Magic" is what it says on the box. But as you play, you realize that all of your magic, from flying to shielding yourself to shooting fireballs to calling down bolts of lightning, is powered by good old-fashioned Skittles™ candy. Those sneaky marketing hacks!
Yo! Noid
Yo! Noid is the Power Rangers or Super Mario Bros. 2 of shameless food promotion video games. In 1990, Capcom, Now Production, and the self-deprecating pizza chain Domino's took the unsuspecting NES platformer Kamen no Ninja Hanamaru and swapped out the main character with the infamous pizza thief The Noid. We all know we're supposed to avoid the Noid, but here we must become him to save New York City from green slime or something.
Doritos: Dash of Destruction
Doritos, Mountain Dew, and Taco Bell form the holy trinity of gamer grub. Just ask Geoff Keighley. So a Doritos video game was as inevitable as the heat death of the universe. In Dash of Destruction, players control a Doritos delivery truck providing precious nacho cheesy chips to the masses as fast as possible while avoiding a deadly T-Rex. This concept, by Mike Borland, was the winning entry in a Doritos contest to design an Xbox 360 game. If you're going to make a playable ad, you might as well crowdsource it.
Sneak King
The King from Burger King is the best, creepiest humanoid fast food mascot since Mac Tonight or the sexy new Hamburglar. In 2006 he appeared in a trio of branded Burger King games for the Xbox and Xbox 360. PocketBike Racer and Big Bumpin' were generic racing and bumper car games, respectively. Sneak King, however, is a game of the year candidate. In this stealth game, players control the King to sneak up on hungry, unsuspecting citizens and give them Whoppers. Imagine a remake of this running on the Fox Engine, the technology behind Metal Gear Solid V.
M. C. Kids
Even without its magnificent Moon Man, McDonald's has a good amount of lore worth exploring in a video game. M. C. Kids is a 1992 NES platformer where two cool kids travel to McDonaldland to retrieve Ronald McDonald's magic bag. Aside from prominent burgers and fries, that's not too different from your average game. Later that year, the game got a different junk food brand in Europe when it became Spot: The Cool Adventure. You know, Cool Spot, the 7 Up mascot.
Major League Eating: The Game
This downloadable WiiWare game isn't branded with specific food. It's branded with the idea of eating as much food as possible for money and glory. Players control real-life professional eaters like Takeru Kobayashi, Joey Chestnut, Sonya Thomas, and a bear with fighting game-like controls. It's the perfect practice for the single-player competitive eating we all do every day.

The Cruise
Life on board one of the world's largest luxury cruise ships will be revealed in a brand new itv series for 2016.
Produced by Wild Pictures, granted exclusive and intimate access to the Regal Princess, the 6 x 30' series will go behind the scenes as the ship travels through the Baltic Sea from Copenhagen to St Petersburg, following some of the 1,400 crew as they deal with the daily demands of up to 4,000 passengers.
The Cruise will feature key figures dealing with the challenges they face on the luxury liner, including the captain who is charged with navigating his way through narrow coastal routes into centuries old harbours and the Hotel General Manager, who's responsible for ensuring passengers receive the five star service they have been promised.
The Cruise will also focus on the human stories floating alongside the running of the ship, from injury and homesickness among the dancers in the entertainment team to the chef feeling the heat in the kitchen as he oversees the provision of 20,000 meals a day.
For many of the multinational crew of housekeepers, waiters, and casino hosts who work to keep the passengers happy, working on the Regal Princess is a dream job and The Cruise follows the ups and downs of life aboard – from career ambitions and broken hearts, to missing home and the joys of seeing the world through a port-hole.
The Cruise is commissioned for itv by Jo Clinton-Davis, Controller of Factual and Richard Klein, Director of Factual.
Jo said: "We love seeing what really goes on in self-contained worlds and a cruise ship on the scale of the Regal Princess is almost like a floating town. The Cruise promises to give our viewers an entertaining port-hole peek into a unique way of life that many of us dream of sampling."

Case study: Bank of China
The Bank of China headquarters in Beijing is a highly recognizable symbol of modern China. The lighting designer and architect of this monumental building chose the GRAFIK 6000 and HomeWorks light control systems from Lutron for their light control needs and to provide automation of the lighting.
Designed by New York-based Pei Partnership Architects, the building introduces an important new concept in Asian architecture: a combination of traditional Chinese elements with an inspired brand of corporate modernism. As they went about combining an office building with a civic institution, the architects infused a spirit of openness to the project. The core of the structure is designed for year-round public enjoyment and contains the essence of a traditional Chinese garden, an artistic interpretation of the natural world. Plus, an overall flexibility in design will help the bank and its tenants meet the ever-changing technological demands of 21st century business.
The architect and lighting designer trusted U.S.-based Lutron Electronics to handle the complex lighting demands of this architecturally and culturally significant project. They chose a Lutron GRAFIK 6000 light control system to meet present and future lighting challenges and to create that traditional garden feel. They also chose a Lutron HomeWorks system to switch more than 13,500 sq. meters of office space. These two control systems are easy-to-use, one of the key requirements in choosing a system, and are virtually transparent through automation of controlled lighting scenes. And they don't just enhance the architecture; they save energy, too.
Lutron, with its worldwide reach, coordinated the design, installation, and commissioning teams from around the globe.Orchestrating 64 dimming panels, the GRAFIK 6000 lighting scenes reveal the architectural detail of the building and help conduct occupants and visitors through the space.
On the upper floors, the HomeWorks system allows software control of timeclocks and occupancy sensors for more than 1,300 circuits. The 158,000 sq. meter building comprises two L-shaped wings, which embrace a 45 meter-high garden atrium. The building also houses a monumental banking hall, 2,000-seat auditorium, reception hall, executive offices, as well as parking, dining, and other services for more than 2,500 employees. Public areas maximize open space, clean lines, and daylight, and the building is clad, inside and out, in warm travertine stone.
"With a space this big, the main challenge is to make the volume read. At night, you still want to appreciate the sheer scale of the space but make it inviting using layers of light," said lighting designer Jerry Kugler. So he decided to bounce a lot of light off the floor that would give some glow to the walls.
By directly lighting some of the more important walls— the walls opposite the soaring glass curtain wall and the walls on either side of the entrance—they are able to draw visitors from the outside across the open atrium to the elevator banks and other access areas.
The magnificent atrium forms the functional and symbolic core of the building, where water, rocks, and plants represent the traditional Chinese garden. Overhead, inconspicuous clusters of PAR56 light sources light the atrium floor and banking halls. These downlights virtually disappear among the trusswork of the vast pyramidal, clear-glass skylight. The 10-meter bicycle-wheel chandelier, which hangs above an oculus in the floor of the upper banking hall, holds tiny MR16 lamps. Above, 1000W PAR64s shine down through the chandelier, making the cables sparkle and illuminating through the oculus to the banking hall below.
With the scale of the space, long distances for throwing light, and energy and maintenance concerns, halogen sources may not have seemed the most logical choice.
But the space had to look beautiful, and "HID sources were never going to make the honey- colored stone look great," Kugler explained. "We can get narrow beams from these larger PAR-lamps, so we can put the light just where we want it. Plus, we have the same color of light on all the surfaces—one vocabulary of light. The result is very beautiful."
In addition, time-of-day dimming conserves energy and extends lamp life by reducing burning hours. "There's so much daylight coming through the skylight, the lights don't need to be on all the time," said Kugler.
Plus, Lutron systems are installed in buildings all over the world so they are designed to withstand power quality problems, which can vary from country to country and are not unheard of in Beijing. The Lutron patented RTISS (Real Time Illumination Stability System) design enhancement filters out line noise to dimmers to ensure consistent, high quality, dimming performance. Plus, the flexibility of the GRAFIK 6000 system allows for local control, including override of universal presets — such as timeclock-initiated shutoff sweeps. This is especially useful in the executive offices and auditorium, which have multi-button wallstations.
The system's automated switching of entire floors of fluorescent lighting saves vast energy costs for Bank of China and its tenants. By illuminating spaces only when occupied, lamp life is extended, saving maintenance costs. The system's centralized control allows any load on the system to be switched from any one of the more than 600 keypads or wallstations. Each relay is addressed individually, which allows for extremely flexible zone assignments. Of course, overrides are available at all the wallstations, permitting anyone working late to illuminate their workspace or a path of exit.
"Lutron provided support, reliability, and a great team effort," said Kugler. "I have years of experience with them, and I knew they would support a client halfway around the world. And they have."

Walton's Campbell jumps to Division 1 Bethune-Cookman
SETH STRINGER | Daily News
After winning the Class 2 high jump in April, Terrell Campbell expressed his desire to continue his track career at the next level.
It just so happens that level will be the Division 1 stage.
The 2013 Walton graduate and Co-Daily News Track and Field Male Athlete of the Year has committed to Bethune-Cookman University, a Division 1 university in Daytona Beach that resides in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.
There it is assumed Campbell will compete in the long jump, triple jump and high jump, the latter of which Walton coach Bernard Smith believes Campbell can crack the seven-foot mark.
�He�ll do fine,� Smith said. �He�s a student-athlete first. Most kids go to college as an athlete first, student second. Not Terrell. He has his priorities straight and there he should excel.�
Receiving looks from Troy, North Florida and Charleston Southern, Campbell committed to the Wildcats in late June.
A wildcard entering the Class 2 state championships after finishing fourth in regional competition, the 6-foot-3 senior took the field by surprise by remaining calm, poised and strong in blustery conditions.
Watching his competitors struggle, Campbell posted a solid, albeit unspectacular high jump of 6 feet, four inches. And then he played the waiting game. After three competitors failed to match his leap, the nearest posting 6-2, Campbell became the lone individual from Walton County to capture gold this year.
�Nobody was really stepping up and doing what they had to do to win,� Campbell said after the state tourney. �So when it was my turn, I just put up a big jump and then watched.�
For his efforts, Campbell was named a co-recipient of the Daily News Track and Field Athlete of the Year award, an honor he shared with Niceville distance runners and fellow state champions Nick Morken and Thomas Howell.
Campbell enters the next level with a personal-best jump of 6-6, a figure that he�s likely to eclipse early on in his collegiate career.

Q: System.out.println: Why are non printable characters only displayed before a printable one but not after that? If we take this example:
System.out.println(new String(new byte[]{0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,2,2,2,2,0,0,0,0,112,0,0,0}));
the console will show some squares(the not displayable characters) and then the character 'p'(112). Why the next three "square" are not displayed?

A: The characters are NUL, SOH, and STX.   I imagine that your font maps NUL to 'nothing'.  This is likely not true for SOH and STX.
In my attempt to reproduce this locally (on a Raspberry Pi-zero system running Raspbian, connected from Windows 10 via putty) I see only the 'p' on output to the console.  If I redirect the output to a file that I then examine in a suitable editor, I see all NUL, SOH, STX present.
In other words, what you see is highly dependent on almost everything else except Java.
(Your Java locale could have an effect, but I am assuming the more likely case that byte values 0 to 31 map directly into equivalent char values)

Super high resolutions, impressive 3D models, and of course field of view surely made it the device of the future. VR headsets are evolving, and listed below are 5 things that we all can expect in the coming year.
The VR headset manufacturers intend to add either a standalone system (battery with processors in the headset) or battery either wired and attached to user's clothing. Both options are in discussions and will be finalized based on portability and cost.
Aside from security personnel, everybody needs this the most. It is expected that in near future, the user will not have to install cameras. With onboard cams, consumers can effectively do 'inside out' tracking in the most efficient way.
Old concept, but in VR, everything is fun. With the greatest detail, the user can see the surroundings with utmost clarity. Their eyes will capture an object in the periphery, and make it center of attention so that the user can give attention to detail.
In 2019, users can forget the irritating 'screen door' that makes them think that they are watching digital reality through a limited screen. With 1440×1660 per eye resolution, will make the visuals worthwhile for the consumer.
Among other things, people are expecting that more specifications are available in one single set, that too, on low cost. The population from all walks of life love the idea and based on increasing user demand, we can expect that this would happen too.

This week marks 13 years since I was jobless, spent ALL my savings on my very first G5 MAC and started 'something' from my teeny tiny spare bedroom. Would 25 year-old me have taken the plunge into business ownership if she knew the blood sweat and tears that lay ahead? Hell NO…but I'm bloody glad that she did! If I could travel back in time, (way back to the little-old Seaford studio) I'd tell her that taking the plunge would be 100% worth it.
Back in the old days, we spent 90% of our time designing logos, annual reports, brochures, promotional postcards, print advertising, stationery, etc. The industry has evolved so much, with branding, website design and digital newsletters now 70% of our workload.
A lot has changed since that initial crisis moment, but what has remained consistent throughout all these years is the most amazing clients and suppliers as well as the legends I can proudly call my team.
The graphic design industry is nothing like it was way back in 2005 and Ivory Design isn't either, constantly evolving and changing right before our eyes. We've grown, we've moved, we've welcomed many fur babies as well as real-life babies and we've continued to learn and explore new avenues.
In the spirit of birthday reflection, today we are indulging in cake overload (thanks to the amazing Sprinkles Spice and Everything Iced).
It has been a genuine pleasure to continue to do what we love.

The Montenegrin Cup (Montenegrin and Serbian: Kup Crne Gore) is the national football cup played in Montenegro, established in 2006. The winner of the cup is awarded a spot in the second qualifying round of the UEFA Europa League if they have not already gained a spot in the UEFA Champions League.
Most successful participant until now was FK Rudar with four titles, followed by FK Budućnost with three and OFK Titograd who won it twice.

History

Before independence

Since 1946, Montenegrin football clubs played in the SFR Yugoslavia football system, so in the period 1947-1992 they participated in Yugoslav Cup. From 1992 to 2006, teams from Montenegro played in the Cup competition of FR Yugoslavia and Serbia and Montenegro. Most successful participant was FK Budućnost, who played twice in the finals of Yugoslav Cup (1964-65 and 1976-77).

First stage of Yugoslav Cup was Montenegrin Republic Cup, in which played clubs from lower-leagues. Competition was held from 1947 to 2006, and the winner qualified for Yugoslav Cup first stage. In Montenegrin Republic Cup played all non-First League clubs from the territory of Montenegro.

After independence
Following independence of Montenegro, Football Association of Montenegro founded Montenegrin Cup as a national football competition, with its first season 2006-07. Direct participation are gaining the clubs from Montenegrin First League and Montenegrin Second League, while the clubs from the Montenegrin Third League played qualifiers for Montenegrin Cup through Regional Cups (northern, central, southern).
From its first season, winner of Montenegrin Cup participate in UEFA Europa League.

Period 2006-2016
First winner of competition was FK Rudar, who won the title on season 2006–07 without any defeat in eight matches. In the final game, FK Rudar defeated FK Sutjeska - 2-1. That was the very first official trophy won in Montenegrin football since independence. On previous phases, FK Rudar eliminated FK Mornar (1-0), FK Berane (1-1, 2-0), OFK Titograd (2-0, 0-0) and OFK Grbalj (0-0, 2-0). Notable games also came in Round of 16, with matches between two strongest sides during that season - FK Budućnost and FK Zeta. First game, attended by 10,000 spectators, won FK Budućnost (2-0), but FK Zeta made biggest win in second game in Golubovci (3-0).
Next season, trophy won FK Mogren, who won the final match against FK Budućnost on penalties (1-1; 6-5). Game for trophy was attended by 10,000 spectators and that was the highest audience on Montenegrin Cup finals. Previously, FK Mogren eliminated FK Pljevlja (5-0), FK Sutjeska (1-1, 1-0), OFK Petrovac (0-0, 1-0) and title-holder side FK Rudar (1-0, 0-0). During that season, FK Berane became first Second League side to reach the semifinals of Montenegrin Cup.
On season 2008–09, the trophy won OFK Petrovac, defeating Lovćen in extra-time (0-0; 1-0). Meeting of two teams in final was surprise, as they in semifinals eliminated strongest teams as FK Budućnost and FK Rudar. During the season, before the final, OFK Petrovac previously eliminated FK Pljevlja (1-0), FK Otrant (2-0, 3-0), FK Mogren (1-0, 2-1) and FK Rudar (0-0, 0-0; penalties: 5-3).
FK Rudar was the first, and until now the only club which won two trophies in a row. They won the title on season 2009–10 with win against FK Budućnost in final (2-1). During that Cup campaign, team from Pljevlja previously eliminated FK Sloga Bar (7-0), FK Jedinstvo (1-1, 2-0), FK Mornar (6-1, 0-0) and OFK Petrovac (2-1, 0-0)
Next year, FK Rudar defended the title after penalties in the final game against FK Mogren. After the 90 minutes, game finished with result 2-2, which was the biggest number of goals in the final until then. That was the third title for FK Rudar since establishing of Montenegrin Cup. Except they defended the trophy, coach of FK Rudar Nebojša Vignjević became the first manager who won two editions of Montenegrin Cup. Before the final, FK Rudar eliminated FK Crvena Stijena (2-0, 2-1), FK Sutjeska (0-0, 2-1) and FK Zeta (1-0, 2-2).
Season 2011–12 is remembered by the fact that one team from Montenegrin Second League won the Cup trophy. Big surprise made FK Čelik from Nikšić, who defeated Rudar in the final match - 2:1. That was the very first defeat of FK Rudar in Montenegrin Cup after the season 2008-09 and 28 consecutive wins and draws. After the victory in the Cup finals, FK Čelik became first Second League side who gained participation in European competitions. Except that, striker Veselin Bojić became the first player who scored two goals in two different Montenegrin Cup finals for two different teams (2010-11 for FK Rudar; 2011-12 for FK Čelik). In previous rounds, team from Nikšić eliminated FK Blue Star (2-0), FK Lovćen (1-0, 1-0), FK Bokelj (1-1, 1-0) and FK Jedinstvo (3-0, 0-1).
Year later, FK Čelik again played in the finals, but as a member of Montenegrin First League. Team from Nikšić was defeated by FK Budućnost (1:0), who held the first trophy after their third performance in final. The only goal was scored in additional time, by FK Budućnost striker Mitar Peković. In previous games, FK Budućnost eliminated FK Bratstvo (3-0), FK Jedinstvo (2-0, 1-0), FK Zeta (2-0, 2-0) and OFK Titograd (3-2, 1-1). During the first leg of competition, OFK Titograd defeated FK Pljevlja 10-1 and that's among the highest home wins in the history of Montenegrin Cup. During the same game, striker Luka Rotković scored seven goals, which is another all-time record of competition.
On season 2013–14, Lovćen won the trophy for the first time in the club's history. Team from Cetinje won the final game against OFK Titograd - 1-0. Before the final match, FK Lovćen eliminated FK Zora (1-0), FK Crvena Stijena (8-0, 1-2), FK Zeta (1-0, 1-2) and OFK Petrovac (3-0, 0-0).
OFK Titograd succeeded to hold the trophy for season 2014–15. In the finals, they defeated OFK Petrovac in extra-time (2-1). In previous rounds, OFK Titograd defeated FK Mogren (1-2, 5-1), FK Zeta (0-0, 0-0; penalties: 4-3) and FK Sutjeska (2-0, 2-0). During the same season, in first leg, FK Budućnost defeated FK Pljevlja 9-0, which is another game among the highest home wins in history of Montenegrin Cup.
Rudar won their fourth Cup trophy on season 2015–16. In final match, team from Pljevlja won the penalties against Budućnost (4-3) after the goalless 120 minutes. With that game, FK Rudar became the first team to participate in five Montenegrin Cup finals. Before the game for trophy, they eliminated FK Radnički (1-0), FK Sutjeska (1-0, 3-0), FK Dečić (2-1, 2-2) and FK Bokelj (2-0, 1-0).

Period 2016-
For the first time in their history, FK Sutjeska became a title-holder on season 2016–17, winning the finals against Grbalj (1-0). That was the second performance of FK Sutjeska in Montenegrin Cup final. In previous rounds, they defeated FK Radnički (5-0), FK Zeta (2-2, 1-0), OFK Petrovac (1-0, 1-2) and FK Iskra (4-3, 5-0).
In 2017–18 Montenegrin Cup, for the second time in history, one team from Second League participated in the finals. That was FK Igalo, which played against OFK Titograd who won the game with 2-0. That was the second trophy for OFK Titograd. On that game, striker Admir Adrović became the first player who scored twice on one final match. Except that, coach Aleksandar Miljenović became the first manager who won two Cup trophies with two different clubs (2008-09 with OFK Petrovac, 2017-18 with OFK Titograd). On their road to final, OFK Titograd eliminated FK Čelik (9-1), FK Zeta (4-0, 2-1), FK Mornar (3-0, 2-0) and FK Budućnost (1-2, 2-1; penalties: 4-3).
Season 2018-19 finished with the second title won by FK Budućnost. Team from Podgorica in the finals won against FK Lovćen - 4:0. That was the biggest win in the history of Montenegrin Cup finals. Except that, FK Budućnost player Mihailo Perović scored a first ever hattrick in the finals. Before the game for trophy, FK Budućnost eliminated FK Rudar (1-0, 0-0), FK Podgorica (1-1, 1-0) and, in the semifinals, FK Sutjeska (0-0, 1-1).
On season 2019-20, Montenegrin Cup was interrupted in March 2020, before the semifinals, due to the coronavirus pandemic. Semifinalists were FK Budućnost, FK Sutjeska, FK Podgorica and OFK Petrovac. Three months after that, Football Association of Montenegro decided that Montenegrin Cup for the season 2019-20 won't be continued.
Due to pandemic, edition 2020-21 was played with different format. Only 16 teams participated and, until the semifinals, in previous rounds teams played only one game. At the end, Football Association of Montenegro decided that the finals will be played in front of limited audience on Podgorica City Stadium. That was the very first football match in Montenegro with spectators after nearly 15 months of COVID-19 pandemic. Once again, the Cup won  FK Budućnost, which defeated  Dečić in the finals (3-1). That was first 'double' for FK Budućnost, who previously won fifth title in Montenegrin First League, but the second 'double' in the history of Montenegrin football, too. For FK Dečić, that was the very first participance in Cup finals.

Format

Since the inaugural season, Montenegrin Cup had the same format in every edition.
In competition participate 30 teams. The 20 clubs from First and Second League are automatically qualified for the tournament. Other participants are Third League members - semifinalists of three regional cups - Northern region Cup, Central region Cup and Southern Region Cup.
The Montenegrin Cup begins with the round of 28 clubs, while the winner and finalist of previous-year Cup are starting from second phase (round of 16).
In the all phases, extra time will be played if the scores are level after 90 minutes with a penalty shootout following if needed.

Only a small proportion of UK SMEs do. The others could be missing out on the many e-commerce advantages. It's clearly the way of the future and, unless they make the jump, they will be left behind.
If you sell products, by adding online selling to your physical store activities, you will suddenly open the door to a much wider customer base, and you can keep on selling through every 24 hours. An online shop never closes.
This can also apply if you provide services. It can be a new way to take enquiries and there may be items, such as advice and guidance papers that can be ordered and provided online. It could take your business into new and lucrative directions.
Compared to having a physical store or office, an e-commerce website puts no strain on your finances. There's no rent to pay, and utility costs are minuscule. Your only investment will be in webhosting and maintenance.
When you get recommendations via social media, most people would not be able to physically get to you. If you sell online, this is never a problem. Offer an excellent product with brilliant service to wow your customers, and social media can bring you masses of online business.
Order processing and data capture will happen automatically on a website. It's also easy to track online sales and monitor buying trends so that you can respond accordingly and match what you offer to what the consumers want.
Having both an online and a physical business can be a big help with marketing. People can do online research that will bring them through your doors when they go out to shop. You can make the links between the two sides of your business obvious with, for example, a competition flyer handed out at the checkout which has to be completed at the website. On the other hand, the website could communicate special offers in store or offer a discount voucher to be used there.
If you are put off by the prospect of taking online payments and organising shipping, a little research will show you various readymade options that will do it all for you for a small monthly payment and transaction percentage fee. Some offer free advice on selling and marketing.
The one job you will have is to write compelling product descriptions, but if you can't manage that you can outsource it to an expert copywriter. Why not ask your outsourced bookkeepers if their experience covers e-commerce clients? You could pick up some tips from them.

Q: How do I style a div with inner floats to expand horizontally to allow all inner floating divs to fit? Basically, I have a content box with some floating items:
html

1

2

3

4

css
.contentBox {
    overflow-x:scroll;
}
.item {
    float:left;
}

I want the box to expand in width to let as many items as I add to it to fit, floating left (which means the elements get pushed to the right). But instead it only goes as wide as the page before the items drop down because of having no room. I want it to continue on outside of the page.
How do I do this?
I'm thinking I'll need to use some JavaScript, but I'd rather a pure CSS solution if it's possible.

A: You can use white-space: nowrap on parent container with inline-block child elements:
.contentBox {
    overflow-x: scroll;
    white-space: nowrap;
}
.item {
    display: inline-block;
}

Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/vo8202uy/

$('button').click(function() {
    $('.contentBox').append('
' + ($('.item').length+1) + '
');
});
.contentBox {
    overflow-x:scroll;
    white-space: nowrap;
}
.item {
    width: 50px;
    background: coral;
    margin-right: 5px;
    display: inline-block;
}

<button>Add more</button>

A: You can set display: table-cell for .item.
Here's an example: http://jsfiddle.net/andunai/fq201q8b/

A: Here you GO :)
Only add this on you button click.
$('button').click(function() {
  var item = $('.item').length + 1;
   $('.contentBox').append('
' + item + '
');

   var w = window.innerWidth;
   var l = $(".contentBox div").length + 1;

Celebrate the Grand Canyon Centennial on the North Rim
Aug 23 Jan 24 Janet Frost
Last Updated on January 24, 2020 by Janet Frost
Happy Birthday Grand Canyon National Park!! February 26, 1919 the United States Congress added the Grand Canyon to the fledgling National Park System. The Grand Canyon stretches for 277 river miles along the Colorado River. At its widest spot the Grand Canyon is 18 miles across and a full mile deep. The majority of the 6 million annual visitors to the Grand Canyon NP remain on the rims of the chasm. There are three main rim access points. The most popular and oldest South Rim, the second most popular but youngest West Rim and the quiet and rustic North Rim. We decided to celebrate the Grand Canyon Centennial birthday on the North Rim.
Let's Go Learn Things about the Grand Canyon North Rim…
Native American Dwellers
As with all of the Americas, the first dwellers in the Grand Canyon region were indigenous. These tribes lived here centuries before any European American explorers arrived. In the later centuries, it was the Pai people that European Americans encountered as they entered the Canyon. The Pai were split into smaller subgroups and clans throughout the Kaibab Plateau. They all moved between the upper flat plateau during the winter months and deep into the canyons for the warm growing season.
Havasupai celebration
As the European Americans started pushing their way into the region in mid-19th century, the Havasupai and the Hualapai recognized them as invaders. A war of raiding and retaliation, similar to what was happening all across the plains, ensued. At the time of the Grand Canyon National Park designation, the two tribes were "controlled" and restricted to reservations. While these areas were still within their original homelands, they were certainly a fraction of the land mass the tribes considered home. Today the Havasupai reservation covers 188,000 acres of the plateau and a few deep spectacular canyons and waterfalls in the southwest region of the Havasu Canyon. The Hualapai reservation, further southwest, covers a million acres along 110 miles of the Colorado River.
European American Pioneers
Adventurous and hearty pioneers first started to venture into the Grand Canyon in the mid-19th century. Explorer, Major John Wesley Powell, surveying for the U.S. Army, took on the challenge of riding the length of the Colorado River in 1868. After this record breaking exploration a few couragous souls started to trickle onto the rim and into the canyon. Prospectors hoping to hit the mother lode scrabbled through the canyons. Mormon settlers moving south from Salt Lake City set up small communities and a few forward thinking entrepeneurs recognized the future of toursim in the awe-inspiring region. Eventally the railroads joined the fray with their transcontinental tracks running through nearby towns such as Winslow, Williams and Flagstaff.
Over time, tourism proved to be the most promising enterprise in the rugged, unforgiving canyon. The small entrepeneurs were slowly replaced by larger corporate interests. Fortunately, there was an early environmentalist faction growing in the country at the turn of the century. The extensive Kaibab Plateau and the Grand Canyon within, were set aside as protected National Forest Land in 1893. In 1916 U.S. Congress created the National Park Service and in 1919 the Grand Canyon was placed under the auspices of the new National Park Service. At the time there were several existing buildings and facilities on the South Rim, a handful of trail guide businesses, and a remote lodge on the North Rim.

Learn More: You can visit the Grand Canyon from three main areas.
From the South Rim Grand Canyon Village
From the West Rim Havasupai Reservation gives access to Havasu Falls, Mooney Falls and Navajo Falls. These are spectacular waterfalls in the backcountry that require rigorous hikes to reach.
Hualapai Reservation owns the modern and very popular Skywalk, a glass platform that extends out over the rim. **Note** The West Rim does not honor your NPS pass.
Geology of the Grand Canyon
Point Imperial Vista on the North Rim
Seventy million years ago the Rocky Mountain Range started to form. The North American Plate pushed up over the Pacific Plate. A section of what is now Northern Arizona, Eastern Utah and Western Colorado formed the Colorado Plateau. The Colorado Plateau moved from sea level to thousands of feet of elevation. Eventully the powerful Colorado River and its tributaries eroded the softer layers into deep canyons. This process left the entire Grand Canyon supporting five different climate zones. These zones are:
Riparian climate at the deep base where the Colorado River and its tributaries teem with plant and animal life nourished by the precious water.
Desert climate at the lower elevations actually exhibit life found in three of the four desert climate zones of North America. With mesquite trees of the Sonoran, black-brush of the Great Basin and joshua tress of the Mojave.
Dwarf Forest climate covers most of the mid-elevations. You will find scrubby pinyon and juniper pines that are experts at conserving water.
Ponderosa Pine Forest climate supports a more diverse plant and animal life with its deeper soil and more rainfall. This climate zone is found at the highest elevation of the South Rim and on some of the table-top plateuas of the North Rim.
Mixed Conifer Forest climate zone is unique to the North Rim. This wettest zone is lush with fir, spruce, and aspen. It flourishes with mule deer, wild turkeys, bison and their very own version of Kaibab squirrels.

Arid Dwarf Forest
Lucsious Conifer Forest at the North Rim
North Rim Elevation
The North Rim is 8000 ft elevation, 1000 ft higher than the South Rim. Because of this difference, the North Rim is more forested and cooler by 10-20 degrees in the summer. During the late fall and winter the North Rim receives significant snow. Therefore the North Rim has a shortened tourist season, only open from mid-May to mid-October.
Getting to the North Rim
It is pretty tough to visit the South Rim and the North Rim in the same day. Unless, you are planning to hike the 23 miles down into the canyon and up the other side. This rigorous adventure will require an overnight at the bottom in Phantom Ranch and/or at each rim. Remember that much of this trail is desert with blistering heat in the summer months. AND of course it is steep both directions!!
For us reasonable tourists it is a 4 hour drive from the South Rim to the North Rim. The route requires that you travel east and north to find a passage around the Canyon. You will traverse some amazing terrain and some desolate vistas.
Kanab, Utah
If you are planning the popular Grand Circle Road Trip (Zion NP, Bryce Canyon NP, Capitol Reef NP, Arches NP and Grand Canyon) you will likely arrive from Kanab, UT to the north. Kanab calls itself "The heart of the parks". It is centrally located between the parks of the Grand Circle and a convenient base camp for all the spectacular outdoor adventures that the region offers. The Kanab Visitor Center is managed by the Bureau of Land Management and is packed with information about the parks, hiking, scenic drives and much more.
**Note: If you plan to hike The Wave, a popular hike within the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument, you must enter a daily lottery for the hiking permit. This permit lottery takes place at the Kanab Visitor Center.**

What to See Along the Way
Whether you plan to reach the North Rim from Kanab, Flagstaff or the South Rim, you will travel portions of the Historic Us Route 89 and 89A.
Tour seven National Parks, fourteen National Monuments and three Heritage Areas all on one road—US Route 89. From Canada to Mexico through Montana, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah and Arizona you will behold the West's most spectacular scenery.
James Cowlin of the US Route 89 Appreciation Society
Cameron Trading Post
At the crossroads of US Route 89 and County 64 is Cameron, AZ. This small town on the Navajo Nation is an odd mix of modern tourist trap and historic traditional Native American Trading Post. The official Cameron Trading Post has served this pathway to the Grand Canyon since 1916. It is difficult to discern with these trading posts across the Navajo lands, whether they are supporting the Navajo Nation or exploiting it. A philosophical question for another time. For our discussion, the Cameron Trading Post offers dining, nice lodging, a post office and a large selection of Native American arts.

This oasis is the lodge courtyard
Cameron Trading Post and Post Office
Cameron sits in the far southwest corner of the Navajo Reservation. The Navajo Nation covers about 17,544,500 acres, occupying portions of northeastern Arizona, southeastern Utah, and northwestern New Mexico in the United States. This is the largest land area retained by a Native American tribe, with a population of roughly 350,000. US 89 continues north along the eastern edge of the Nation. It is extraordinary and devastatingly beautiful in its desolation. Vast deep blue skies tower over miles of sparse landscape, broken up by lunar-like boulders and bluffs of grey, bronze, vermillion and jet colors.
As you zip along this highway keep an eye out for these poignant works by Dr. Chip Thomas. He is a physician serving in the Indian Health Service who is also a photographer and muralist. His work can be found across the Navajo Nation, often on the sides of abandoned out-buildings and roadside stands.

Marble Canyon
Just outside of Bitter Springs, US 89 splits and heads northeast towards the larger town of Page, AZ or northwest towards Marble Canyon and the North Rim. The topography, climate, transportation and settlement of this region is completely dictated by the Colorado River and the deep channel it courses through. Therefore the roads don't run straight and no route is direct. Everything must find a way to cross the river and canyon. From Moab, Utah to Laughlin, Nevada, the Colorado River cuts through limestone and sandstone eroding vertical cliffs and gorges, thus making it impossible to ford.
Marble Canyon from the Navajo Bridge
In the 1860's Brigham Young of the Mormon Settlement in Utah decided it was their destiny to expand into northern Arizona. He sent out a group of missionaries who found a break between Glen, Marble and Paria canyons, a natural corridor between Utah and Arizona. John D. Lee was sent (actually banished) to establish a working ferry and outpost for the Mormon settlers' migration south. Lee set up the tiny isolated spot and named it Lee's Ferry. Lee's Ferry benefited from a circumstance of geology. Due to the shale deposits which sloped gently to the river, it was the only place to cross the Colorado River for 260 miles until 1929. Today this historic crossing is a popular kick-off point for fishing, kayaking and rafting along the almost inaccessible Colorado River.
Navajo Bridge
In 1929, after years of precarious crossings at Lee's Ferry, the Navajo Bridge was built just five miles downstream. When you are driving along US Route 89A you will cross over the second Navajo Bridge that was built in 1995. The original bridge is now an impressive pedestrian walkway 467 feet above the deepening canyon.
Vermillion Cliffs in Arizona
As you leave the Navajo Bridge, Lee's Ferry and the meandering Colorado River, US Route 89A, also known as the Vermillion Cliffs Scenic Highway, starts to slowly climb towards the Kaibab Plateau. The walls of these plateaus swirl with the colors and diversity of the geologic minerals found in Northern Arizona and Southern Utah. If you travel north into the Vermillion Cliffs Monument area on a 30 mile dirt road, you will find the iconic Wave, a hiking destination recognized for its swoops of sherbet colored slickrock.
Jacob Lake
After the 40 mile climb to the Kaibab Plateau you will reach Jacob Lake and the Grand Canyon Hwy 67. Jacob Lake is literally a widespot in the road, but it is also the last bastion of civilization on the road to the North Rim. I suggest you gas up here and grab any assorted sundries. The Kaibab Plateau Visitor Center also sits at this turn-off and is worth a stop. Hwy 67 is the only road in to the North Rim. It is this road that closes in Mid-October and does not reopen until May. When you step out of the car, you will recognize that you are in an all-together different climates zone. The air is cool, crisp and deliciously aromatic from the pine forests and meadows. The North Rim is at the end of this 45-mile beautifully scenic road.
North Rim Details
The Grand Canyon North Rim is a favored destination for hearty visitors. It has a distinct focus on hiking, remote camping and rugged beauty. Because it is more difficult to access, the typical crowds of tourists are far less on the North Rim than the South Rim. But, the views are just as endless and the experience just as exhilarating.
Bright Angel Point
Grand Canyon Lodge
Grand Canyon Lodge North Rim
The Grand Canyon Lodge was built in 1928 and rebuilt in 1936 after a devasating fire. Grand Canyon Lodge is flanked by 120 cabins and two motel room buildings. The timbered historic lodge is perched right on the rim of the Canyon and has one of the most amazing vistas of any hotel I have ever visited.
There are no rooms actually in the lodge. Rather, it houses the Registration Office, a cavernous dining room and a gathering room, all with a wall of windows looking into the canyon. The past glory of this historic structure was apparant. But the operative word is "past".
Unfortuneately, we found the lodge, dining facilities, cabins and motel rooms dingy and tired. Two years ago we greatly enoyed our stay in the historic facilities of Zion NP. Therefore, we were really looking forward to our visit at the North Rim. Each national park's lodging is managed by different concessionaires. Zion NP is managed by the Xanterra group and the North Rim is managed by Forever Resorts. There is a distinct difference in the quality and attention to details between these two concessionaires. I have since learned that the North Rim is looking for a new group to manage their facility. I sincerely hope that this will improve conditions at this amazing park.
Hiking Trails on the North Rim
As I mentioned before, the North Rim is more popular with the hiking crowd. Ten differnt hiking trails navigate along the many twists and turns of the rim edges. The three major trails that reach down into the depths of the Grand Canyon are the South North Kaibab Trail and Bright Angel Trail from the South Rim and the North Kaibab Trail from the North Rime.
Rim-to-Rim
These trails are not for the faint of heart or unprepared hiker. They are steep, hot and rigorous. All of the North Rim literature warns against hiking rim-to-rim or down and back up in one day during the summer months. A rim-to-rim hike would amount to 24-28 miles. But, nothing says you can't hike a shorter out-and-back hike along the North Kaibab Trail.
**Note: the North Kaibab Trail is shared by the mule riders and hikers must defer to the mules. AND watch for the excrement.**

Hikers must share the Kaibab Trail with the mule riders
Reasonable Hiking
Luckily, not all of the hikes along the North Rim are so strenuousun. We loved the Transept Trail which starts at the lodge and follows along a portion of the rim. It is mostly forested and not especially steep, but it has plenty of amazing vista points with no crowds.
Throughout the trip I was excited to find segments of the thru-hiking trail, Arizona Trail. The Arizona Trail starts at the Arizona-Mexico border and works it way north the entire length of the state. This 800 mile trail crosses desert floors, over several mountain ranges and down and through the Grand Canyon.
Learn More: Grand Canyon National Park North Rim Trails
Most of the North Rim hovers over the Bright Angel Canyon. The scenic drives wind through meadows, deep forest and breathtaking vistas. Point Imperial and Cape Royal are several miles from the Lodge and well worth the drive.
Along the drive to Cape Royal you encounter Vista Encantada picnic area, Roosevelt Point and Wahalla Overlook. Finally, the end of the drive is Cape Royal and a short 1 mile paved path to Angels Window and the trails namesake, Cape Royal. Cape Royal is the southernmost viewpoint on the North Rim, and it has the widest panorama of any Grand Canyon overlook – the great gorge occupies about 270° of the horizon.
Angels Window, note the tiny people out there.
Wahalla Overlook, only vista point of the Colorado River on the North Rim
Point Imperial
This is a shorter drive that ends at 8,803 feet viewpoint. Point Imperial is the highest of the North Rim overlooks, and the northernmost. This unique view makes it a perfect spot for sunsets.

Visit the North Rim
The North Rim is absolutely stunning and definitely more remote than the South Rim's Grand Canyon Village. Because of the remoteness and limited lodging it is still essential to plan your North Rim visit well in advance. You don't want to just drive the 40+ miles into the Visitor Center, gap down into the canyon, take a selfie and leave. This destination is best savored over several days. You want to take in a sunrise, and a sunset, you want to spend an hour sitting on the deck watching a storm work its way across the canyon, you want to absorb this beautiful natural wonder!

So many things I love about this article. I'm helping someone plan a trip here for next year and lots of valuable info. I'm hoping to hike it in the next year or 2 as well. I visited Marble Canyon probably 20 years ago and think this is the first time I've seen someone mention it. One of the most beautiful places I saw during my first visit to the GC.

Fatigue is often a consequence of physical training and the effective management of fatigue by the coach and athlete is essential in optimizing adaptation and performance. In this paper, we explore a range of practical and contemporary methods of fatigue management for Olympic athletes. We assesses the scientific merit of methods for monitoring fatigue, including self-assessment of training load, self-scored questionnaires, and the usefulness of saliva and blood diagnostic markers for indicating fatigued and under-recovered athletes, effective nutrition and hydration strategies for optimizing recovery and short-term recovery methods. We conclude that well-accepted methods such as sufficient nutrition, hydration, and rest appear to be the most effective strategies for optimizing recovery in Olympic athletes.


This is an article found that contains valuable information on executive coaching and hiring a coach. I did not create this post and the original poster is credited for all materials, no links have been removed.
At some point in a manager's career, there may be an opportunity to consider hiring an executive coach. Here are 10 questions and answers that managers may have about executive coaching.
An executive coach is a qualified professional that works with individuals (usually executives, but often high potential employees) to help them gain self-awareness, clarify goals, achieve their development objectives, unlock their potential, and act as a sounding board. They are not consultants or therapists (although many have consulting or therapist backgrounds) and usually refrain from giving advice or solving their client's problems. Instead, they ask questions to help an executive clarify and solve their own problems.
Unfortunately, (or perhaps, fortunately, if you are interested in becoming a coach), not much. Just about any retired executive, consultant, ex-HR or training practitioner, or therapist can call themselves an executive coach. There is no formal or required certification, although many have turned to the International Coach Federation (ICF) for formal certification.
Companies used to hire executive coaches to come in and fix broken executives. Nowadays, most companies hire executive coaches as a way to invest in their top executives and high potentials. It's no longer a stigma to have a coach; it's a status symbol.
While executives can hire their own coaches (usually CEOs or business owners), it's more common for companies (often Human Resources) to recommend a coach to an executive as a part of an executive development program. The coachee could be newly promoted (transition coaching), be facing a number of challenges (usually involving people relationships), or is being groomed for larger roles. And yes, coaches are still hired to correct behavioral problems and help leaders resolve interpersonal conflicts.
They don't believe they need coaching, are not interested in feedback, and don't believe they need to change (or don't want to).
They are looking for business advice or consulting, i.e., someone to solve their problem for them.
Executive coaching is only a last-ditch, "Hail Mary" token attempt to fix a failing executive who is already on their way out the door.
The executive is not at the appropriate level in the organization to justify the expense of coaching.
The executive's manager should be working with the executive (coaching should not be simply a way to outsource challenges).
When it comes to executive coaching, conversations are completely confidential between the coach and coachee. If an organization is paying for the coaching services, they may receive periodic status updates (dates, milestones achieved), but nothing else is shared without the coachee's permission.
Face-to-face is ideal, given that so much of communication is non-verbal and it helps in building rapport initially. It's becoming more common to coach virtually over the phone (or through Skype).
Coaching is a $3 billion per year industry worldwide, and, as the Harvard Business Review estimated, the median rate for an executive coach is $500 an hour. Many coaches will charge for a six or 12-month engagement, but some will work on an hourly basis.
There are many ways to find an executive coach. Your own company may already work with a number of trusted coaches. Executive recruitment or outplacement firms often provide coaching services or work on a referral basis with independent executive coaches.
Word of mouth referrals from other executives can be a source – in fact, many of the most successful coaches don't even advertise. When selecting an executive coach, chemistry is important, so it's best to interview a few for fit.
