INTEREST: P.A. Works Produces League of Legends Video Game Ad
Punch Drunk Marc
I saw this commercial while watching wrestling the other night. Was very confused about what was happening until the end.
pikkuhukka
no matter how good commercial this is, its still toxic community and aslong as the community stays the same, the game remains unplayable
TexZero
I'm like 95% convinced that all this promo work is actually just Riot shopping the prospects of a potential League of Legends anime since they seem more determined than ever to break into newer markets.

I really want to enjoy Ama Lee's song again but this commercial is not helping with that.
Greed1914
It's Over 9000!
On the one hand, it was cool to hear "You Say Run" in a commercial. On the other hand, that just made me want to watch MHA rather than play League of Legends.
ZeArNkN
Yeah, when I first saw these commercials I was like "What is this?!", and then League of Legends came up and I was like "Oh."
Also, what kind of crazy budget do you need to license You Say Run for a commercial?

game is enjoyable from gameplay viewpoint.
moment you introduce the players though...
I doubt there is a worse community.
Chrno2
Wow, as always you can always put more of a budget behind and ad than you can a full show. That was amazing. Now how many said, I want the game to be like this?

Saw this commercial watching NBA on TNT this week or last week. Not the first commercial where they've licensed songs, pretty easy to do when you're still the #1 pc digital revenue gross(according to Nielsen), I guess.

Would it be too much to ask for a commercial that shows us what the game LOOKS LIKE? Might have a little more advertising outreach--As it is, I only know the game and characters from fan art.
...Is it mere hipness or just shame at being a browser-app game?

this is why i like Riot games -or rather the dudes on their marketing dept- vs Valves', then again, i like dota2 even more than LOL. Just saying as a player.

Well, I can say that Riot Games are doing a pretty good job, the League of Legends community became much bigger, so to say those advertising works perfectly. A big number of players from all the world are joining the League of Legends army every day, and this is awesome. There are a lot of player's that are coming from Dota field to enjoy League of Legends gameplay, and all of them like this game very very much. I am one of them, and I have not been playing Dota for years now. Honestly, I like League of Legends but it was really hard to enter this world for a player who had all the champions from the beginning in Dota. League of Legends player's will understand me, and most of them will say that this is awful when you can't play all the champions because you need to spend some time to be able to buy them. I solved this issue pretty easily, I bought a League of Legends account from lolfinity.com with a lot of Blue essence and that's how I bought all the champions at once, and started to play. I received this account instantly, with unverified email, so I had the opportunity to change the email for my own and this account is now mine for 100%. I think this is much easier than playing for hours long to buy at least one champion (Yasuo)


Shape memory alloys (SMA) are also known as smart materials, which remember their original shape by heating after shape deformations. SMA belong to a unique class of materials that possesses superior thermo-mechanical properties with high corrosion resistance. Thus, they are widely used in numerous end-use industries such as aircraft, transport, biomedical, spacecraft, electrical appliances, subsea, construction & housing, and others. SMA include nickel-titanium, Cu-Al-Ni, Cu-Zn-Al, and others. The commonly used shape memory material is an alloy of nickel and titanium called Nitinol. Nitinol is available in the form of rods, wires, thin films, and bar stocks.
As per MRFR's analysis, some of the factors and trends identified in the global shape memory alloys market include constantly growing healthcare industry, rising usage of SMA for neurology and neuromuscular rehabilitation, and widening biomedical application scope of SMA in orthopedic, cardiovascular and in surgical instruments. Furthermore, in the recent years, the healthcare industry has focused on the concept of less invasive surgical procedures. Therefore, shape memory surgical instruments been have developed, which rapidly become popular. Moreover, the development of laparoscopy tools and intra-aortic balloon pump with SMA along with rising expenditure on healthcare in emerging economies are projected to fuel the market growth over the estimated period. Rising technological advancements along with the growing use of SMA in the manufacture of aerospace parts is likely to drive the market over the assessment period, 2017-2023. However, higher cost associated with the SMA on account of fluctuating price of raw materials is estimated to hamper the growth of the market.
Global shape memory market is estimated to reach USD 11,079.1 million by 2023 at healthy a CAGR of 10.79% over the assessment period, 2017-2023.
By geography, the global shape memory alloys market is segmented into five regions: Asia Pacific, Latin America, North America, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa.
North America dominated the global shape memory alloys market in 2017 on account of flourishing growth of industries such as biomedical, aircraft, spacecraft, and transportation.
Asia Pacific region accounted for around 25% of the overall volume share in 2017 and is predicted to reach USD 2,998.3 million with a significant CAGR of around 12.18% over the forecast period. The demand for shape memory alloys is estimated to surge in various countries such as China, Japan, and India due to rising construction & housing, biomedical, spacecraft, and transportation industries. China accounted for a market value of USD 486.2 million in 2017 and is estimated to reach USD 1,010.5 million over the assessment period.
European region accounted for around 26.1% of the overall market share (in terms of value) in 2017 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR of 9.48% over the assessment period. Germany, Spain, France, and the U.K are among the key contributors to the regional market growth and are estimated to retain their dominance over the forecast period due to the presence of robust manufacturing base for the transportation sector. Germany holds the largest regional market share and accounts for around USD 408 million, which is further followed by the U.K. The high adoption rate of nickel-titanium in superelastic, actuators, and frangibolt application drives the regional market growth.
Matured markets such as North America and Europe are likely to witness steady growth over the review period, 2017-2023 on account of growing use of SMA in aircraft, biomedical, and transportation. Furthermore, high adoption rate in the spacecraft end-use industry combined with the rising expenditure on a space mission from various countries such as the U.S., Russia, China, India, and Japan is expected to fuel the regional market growth. The Middle East & African countries are projected to witness a healthy growth on account of growing building & construction activities in developing countries such as Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, and Turkey.
The shape memory alloys market is categorized on the basis of type, application, end use industry, and region. On the basis of the type, SMA market is categorized into nickel titanium, Cu-Al-Ni, Cu-Zn-Al, and others. The nickel titanium type segment is dominating the market and is estimated to retain its dominance due to excellent properties and high adoption rate in many end-user industries. On the basis of the application, the market is segmented into superelastic, actuators, constrained recovery, frangible, vibration dampers, shock absorbers, and others. On the basis of the end-user industry, the market is classified into biomedical, aircraft, spacecraft, transport, electrical appliances, construction & housing, subsea, hot water supply, and others. On the basis of the region, SMA is segmented into Latin America, North America, Asia Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East & Africa.

MiLB: We're in the endgame now
By Kevin Reichard on April 13, 2020 in Minor-League Baseball
With negotiations set to resume via conference call on April 22, the future of Minor League Baseball as an independent entity is up in the air, with Major League Baseball looking to take over most or all of its operations as well as eliminating 40 MiLB teams, including all of short-season ball.
That MLB was seeking to contract 40 teams was unveiled last fall, with follow-up details emerging in December and January. Emails between the two sides have been exchanged over the last few months, with MLB firming up its position on what it sees as the future of minor-league ball. In prior meetings, MLB negotiators explicitly asked why their teams need MiLB at all, and there has always been the possibility MLB could completely walk away from the MLB/MiLB relationship when the current Professional Baseball Agreement (PBA) expires in September and launch its farm system for 2021. That threat still exists.
We do know this much: MLB is firm on its demand for a 120-team farm system, with all of Rookie or Short-Season A leagues and most of those teams going away. Six of the eight Northwest League teams would survive in a Low-A West Coast league, and potentially four to six NY-Penn League teams would constitute part of a new Low-A league. Some teams at the High-A leagues would move a level down; some teams at the Low-A leagues would move a level up. The goal, say MLB negotiators, is to keep the best ballparks and the best geographic fits as part of their new minor-league vision.
MiLB negotiators, meanwhile, have proposed a one-year extension of the current PBA and the continued existence of the St. Petersburg MiLB offices, probably in a scaled-down form. But with the coronavirus pandemic closing down professional baseball indefinitely, there's no doubt MiLB negotiators are in a weakened position. (Indeed, the coronavirus pandemic and the anticipation that it will take months if not years for the sport to economically recover is now cover for MLB to solidify its demands. At a time when many in America are anticipating changes in coming years, the coronavirus pandemic is providing political shelter for MLB to push for these extensive changes.) Insiders with direct knowledge of the proposals in both MLB and MiLB peg the survival of Minor League Baseball as an operating entity and its associated leagues at 50-50. MLB would perform the following acts:
Develop its own franchise system. This could include the likely inclusion of St. Paul (MN) and Sugar Land (TX) as Triple-A-level markets, the potential addition of a New Orleans team, and two or three current Triple-A markets demoted, including the previously identified Fresno Grizzlies (Class AAA; Pacific Coast League).
Allocate affiliates. MiLB teams would have no say over their parent teams. While you would see many existing relationships endure, you'll never see a situation where the Washington Nationals are affiliated with a West Coast team.
Eliminate a layer of management between MLB teams and MiLB teams. League offices and league personnel would go away, overseen by coordinators at MLB headquarters. St. Pete would be replaced by Park Avenue. MLB did away with its two league offices as business entities after the 1999 season, and the sport does not appear to have suffered.
Play a larger role in MiLB business decisions. MLB teams would have more power to dictate terms to MiLB teams when it comes to facilities and operations. Don't be surprised if MLB mandates every MiLB team adopt tickets.com technology, for instance, or demands to use MiLB customer data for their own marketing efforts. MLB teams would also be in a position to dictate ballpark improvements.
Coming up with 40 teams to contract is not subject yet to a final decision, but eliminating the Appalachian League and the Pioneer League accounts for 18 of the 40 teams. Another 10 teams would be eliminated from the NY-Penn League, as well as two from the Northwest League. That's 30 right there, and finding 10 more in Class AA, High A and Low A would account for the rest. (The list of teams to be potentially contracted now differs slightly from the original contraction list proposed by MLB and is not final.) Unlike prior talks where the notion of buying out contracted teams and paying teams to move down and charge them to move up was under consideration, it doesn't appear these financial moves are currently being considered. There has been talk of keeping the Rookie Appalachian League as a summer-collegiate league, though it's not clear that would happen with the current model of MLB ownership. In short, the development work outside players drafted and signed in a future 20-round draft would be shifted to independent leagues and summer-collegiate leagues, who could potentially expand operations into a longer season.
One piece of data that may be somewhat of a softened blow: many in MLB, including negotiators, expect expansion to have sooner than later, potentially adding eight teams to the MLB affiliate mix in the future. There is a simple economic argument for expansion to happen. Without MLB at all this season, the sport stands to lose at least $4 billion in expected revenue in 2020, less if games are played in Florida and Arizona. Billions in expansion fees will help address that shortfall. And that gives eight contracted markets a shot at a new MiLB team: traditionally, an MiLB farm system begins play one year before the expansion MLB team debuts.
As noted, there is a phone conference scheduled for April 22 to discuss these issues. And none of this is written in stone, but the quest for MLB to assume more control over MiLB is clear.
Both MLB and MiLB officials have spoken over the years about their special partnership as stewards of professional baseball across the country. But the truth is different. At the end of the day, MiLB is a vendor to MLB, albeit in a very important area, and this is a move that gives total control of a key vendor to MLB.

"You could live more life in one congruent day than many people live their entire lives.
If you aren't conscious, present with yourself, you'll never experience lasting change in your relationship with food, emotional eating, your body and how you experience your life.
Nutrition and exercise are important, but without a shift in your consciousness, you'll be right back to where you were at the start, sooner than the diet's end.
Tomorrow is tomorrow. Future cares have future cures. And we must mind today.
This is the only thing you need to do. When you're present you make moment to moment choices that all add up to big changes.
Think about today and what you need right now. Sift through the immediate gratification and get closer to the core of what your heart desires most.
Most people who struggle with emotional eating, body image, chronic dieting, etc. are on the hunt for the least painful and quickest way to see change.
If a quick fix is all you're looking for, then stay unconscious. When you "fall off the wagon" a new diet or exercise program is always just around the corner.
But, if you want to get off the diet merry-go-round, a much more effective strategy than wishing you are somewhere else, is allowing yourself to accept the challenge of being present right now and become a Conscious Eater.
Being present is clearly assessing where you are at this moment and includes both the positive, fulfilling parts of yourself that you like as well as the draining aspects of your life that you need to either limit or use as an opportunity for growth or both.
Are you in command of your present self when you're thinking about your future self?
The only way to "obey" yourself is to be quiet, listen and "command" your body with the clarity, kindness and self-compassion you need to move forward.
A plan based on your unique needs with a good measure of clarity about what you need to change is a change that lasts.
When you're present and can clearly recognize the guidelines which work best for you, you have choices to make. As you figure out what you need, how to get it and how to incorporate your needs into your everyday life, you will build confidence that you're on the path of transformation.
You will get to a place where things make sense and the difficulties you experience from living with another person's guidelines, for their food relationship is impossible. You need to listen to your mind, body and heart and do what's right for you.
When you're present, opportunities open up since your eyes are open to actually see them!
You're able to see things as they really are and your path from today to where you want to be is easier.
What happens on the path will often be unpredictable and at the same time, by being present every day, your choice by choice decision making will also be clear.
Practice more of what works and stop doing what holds you back.
When thinking about your relationship with food, it's easy to get lured into focusing on the end result- your need to stop emotional eating, to stop feeling badly about your body and feel comfortable.
The problem is that most plans tell you to follow one path with paying attention or questions the path. Keep focusing on the end result because that's the only selling point it has.
When you skip over the middle part of change, you lose all of the stuff you need to learn. The middle part of the process is where your hard work creates the change.
This phase is rich with opportunities for self-knowledge about what you need to know about yourself to achieve your success. This is how change becomes a part of you and it is rich with information. Protect yourself from intrusive diet messages that corrupt your transformation.
Even as we live with the knowledge that each day might be our last, we don't want to believe it.
Acceptance lays the foundation for all of the stuff you want to achieve. Look at yourself clearly as you are. It's difficult when you don't like your experience of living in the body you've got, yet it's essential. As you grow in acceptance make sure you sprinkle in a lot of the positive thoughts and feelings, no matter how few, they will multiply and nourish your desire for change.
Following someone else's plan can only get you so far.
You need to build your future by accepting where you are right now while focusing on gaining more self-knowledge.
Transformation cannot be built on someone else's truths for their life.
Transformation can only occur as you get to know who you are and where you're going.
Getting where you're going is faster with clarity. Clarity requires that the noise and distractions are in the background. You don't pay attention because it doesn't matter to your goals for yourself.
You're able to identify what you need to do right now that is in alignment with your goal.
Wishing and hoping for change melts into the act of doing only what you need to do to get to where you want to be.
Clarity gives you the opportunity to take a deep breath and when you exhale feel the weight of expectations, pressures to conform and interruptions of rules that don't fit you.
You can finally say, "ahhhhhh," and feel at peace that your relationship with yourself, while not perfect, it's progressing.
The way to make your plan work is to work on the fundamentals. Be present, follow guidelines that work for you, start from where you are today and accept yourself with clarity. This is a foundation you can build a new relationship with food and your body upon.
Enjoy food and feel good about it.

«Надзвичайний» () — французька кінокомедія 1973 року, знята режисером Філіппом де Брокою, з Жан-Полем Бельмондо у головній ролі.

Сюжет
У письменника Франсуа Мерлена є улюблений персонаж — придуманий ним агент Боб Сен-Клер. Йому Франсуа приписує всі ті якості, яких йому бракує в реальному житті. Коли його книгами цікавиться дівчина Крістін, Боб перетворюється на суперника Франсуа — нехай і уявного. І на сторінках романів розгортається боротьба автора проти його колись улюбленого творіння.

Перші дев'ятнадцять хвилин стрічки перед глядачем розгортається пародійний шпигунський трилер. Агента французької розвідки Родрігеса, що виконує потаємну місію в Бразилії, ворожі агенти захоплюють на гелікоптері прямо з телефонною кабінкою, яку скидають у море. Та на цьому нещастя Родрігеса не завершуються. На дні очікують аквалангісти, які нацьковують акулу, а та розриває Родрігеса просто в кабінці.

Полковник Колінз, оглядаючи потім труп Родрігеса, радиться з генералом Понтобером, приходять до висновку, щоб над світом нависла загроза. Тому слід вдатися до крайніх заходів — залучити суперагента Боба Сен-Клера, який в цей час, за словами генерала, на Близькому Сході. Генерал зв'язується з Бобом по телефону, на питання генерала «як справи?», Боб відповідає «нудьга, рутина», хоча водночас із телефонною розмовою б'ється в палаці з бандою арабських терористів.

З прибуттям до Франції в аеропорту Орлі на Боба Сенклера здійснюється замах, у сутичці з терористами Бобу вдається поранити та полонити одного. Із документів полоненого стає відомо, що він підданий республіки Алвазії. Але Бобу потрібен перекладач з алвазійської. Як з'ясовується агентство знайшло лише одну людину, яка розуміє алвазійську, але це румун, румунську знає тільки серб, серба розуміє росіянин, росіянина чех, а чеха француз. Із допиту Боб дізнається, що на нього полює давній ворог, полковник алвазійської розвідки Карповим. Щоб спіймати полковника, Боб Сен-Клер відправляється до Південної Америки, де в поміч йому стає агентка Діана. Дорогою до готелю Боб Сен-Клер мимохідь розправляється зі шпигунами Карпов. У спілкуванні з Діаною Боб доводить, що він не лише машина для вбивств, а вельми різнобічна особистість: розчулюється від роздумів над сутністю природи, з фізичним тренуванням поєднує гру на роялі, виконуючи класичні твори, цитує власні вірші. Прогулюючись з Діаною узбережжям океану, пара стикається у бою з терористами Карпова. Раптом, у самій гущавині бою, на пляжі з'являється домогосподарка з пилососом.

На двадцятій хвилині стрічки з'ясовується, що «бондіанське» дійство — то сюжет роману письменника Франсуа Мерлена. В образі Боба Сен-Клера він сублімує все, чого йому бракує у житті: рішучості, популярності у жінок, грошей. На сторінках роману, в подобі створеного ним суперагента Боба Сен-Клера, Мерлен зваблює сусідку-красуню Крістін, яка у творі, в образі Діани, розправляється у вигаданому світі з нахабою електриком. Найголовніший ворог Франсуа у реальному житті — пихатий видавець Шарон, у романі зображений в образі Карпова.

Франсуа Мерлен мріє колись написати «справжній» роман, однак змушений виконувати замовлення Шарона, конвеєром пишучи бульварне чтиво. Часто страждаючи від кризи жанру, він то не може вигадати за Карпова тортури для Боба Сенклера (у щура, який має увіп'ятися в зад Бобу Сенклеру, зуби змащені ціаністим калієм), то заходить у глухий кут від безглуздого сюжету з убивством полковника Колінза, якого розчавили в пресі для металу.

Якось, Крістін, шукаючи водопровідника, зазирає до Франсуа Мерлена, від якого комунальні служби тільки-но пішли так і не виконавши свою роботу, посилаючись на взаємносуперечливі інструкції. Мерлен у романі починає розправлятися з водопровідниками, що постають охоронцями Карпова. Крістін бачить книжкові полиці, заставлені його романами, яких налічується 41, і бере один почитати. Натхненний її увагою, письменник стає чепуритися, слідкує за власним здоров'ям і порядком у квартирі. В той де час він розгніваний тим, що мусить коритися видавцеві й писати на догоду публіці.

Крістін працює соціологом у міжнародному соціологічному центрі і в неї з'являється ідея написання дисертації про феномен Боба Сен-Клера. Адже книги про цього героя читають мільйони людей. Мерлен, у свою чергу, розцінює захоплення Крістін Бобом Сен-Клером як те, що його кохана дівчина захоплюється літературним типажем, а не ним самим. Отож, вигаданий агент розвідки, персонаж письменника, стає його ворогом. Аби розправитися з Бобом Сен-Клером, Франсуа намагається виставити його незграбою, невігласом і невдахою, який плутає Баха з Генделем, попадається в безглузду пастку, живе в халупі із очерету, переймається подряпаним пальцем, який треба щогодини відпарювати, і врешті помирає від гангрени у лікарні для бездомних.

В пошуках матеріалів Крістін знайомиться з Шароном, який виставляє себе запорукою успіху Франсуа, а його самого — ледарем. Насправді Шарон хоче просто звабити дівчину, для чого запрошує її на зустріч. Читаючи далі книги, Крістін розуміє, що в образі Боба Франсуа хоче бачити себе, замаскувати власну нерішучість і сентиментальність, які вважає зовсім негідними «справжнього» чоловіка. Крістін вирішує піти рятувати Франсуа замість побачення з Шароном. Вона бачить, що позбувшись свого альтер-его, письменник став розкутим і навіть нахабним. Таким чином, Франсуа і Боб помінялися місцями. Крістін отямлює його ляпасом.

Франсуа зізнається, що більше не хоче писати, але Крістін переконує його, що герой, яким би захоплювалися читачі, цілком може бути чутливим і романтичним. Письменник вирішує почати наступний роман заново. Шарон тим часом приїздить до Крістін додому і напоює її. Франсуа, побачивши це у вікно, описує як нова коханка Боба зраджує з Карповим. Тепер вона стає на сторінках невдахою, а Боба письменник на зло Крістін робить геєм, який взаємно закохується в Карпова.

Зранку Франсуа дізнається, що Крістін вибила Шарону око та прийшла під двері Франсуа, де заснула. Зрозумівши, що зради не було, він забирає дівчину до себе, а рукопис роману викидає з балкона.

Weight Loss Tips & Advice.


Business Model Generation is an uncommonly useful and thoughtful handbook centered entirely on—you guessed it—business model design. The book gives readers deep insight into various business models—traditional and cutting-edge—in a highly visual, guidebook format. In short, it's a great tool to keep handy for easy, frequent access.
The canvas is a framework for sketching out your business model—or pressure-testing multiple business models. And it is thoughtfully designed. The left-side of the model addresses 'left brain' issues or logic (EFFICIENCY) and the right-side addresses 'right brain' issues or emotions (VALUE.) Consideration of both are needed to yield a winning business model.
The concept of the "unbundled" corporation is that there are three fundamentally different types of businesses: Customer relationship businesses, product innovation businesses, and infrastructure businesses. The three types can and often do co-exist within a single corporation, but they are often better served "unbundled" into standalone entities.
A classic example is the unbundling of mobile telecommunications businesses. Originally, telecoms competed on network quality. However, now they are forging network sharing deals because they realize that their key asset is no longer their network—it is their brand and customer relationships.
Long Tail business models are about selling less of more: they focus on offering a large number of niche products, each of which sells relatively infrequently. Contrast this approach with the traditional model where a small number of best sellers account for most revenues. The Long Tail concept was coined by Chris Anderson in his book, The Long Tail: Why the Future of Business is Selling Less of More, to describe a shift in the media business from selling a small number of hit items in large volumes (mass media) toward selling a very large number of niche items, each in relatively small quantities.
Flickr, the photo-sharing website is an example of a "freemium" business model. Users can subscribe for free to a basic account or they can upgrade for a small annual fee that provides more comprehensive benefits and features. LinkedIn also offers a FREE/Pay for option.
In this model, companies create and capture value by collaborating with outside partners—either "outside-in" by exploiting external ideas within the firm, or "inside-out" by providing external parties with ideas or assets that are not being used internally.
Procter & Gamble was an early user of the "Outside-In" approach to revitalize the business at the beginning of this century. A key element of their approach was a "Connect and Develop" strategy designed to exploit internal research through external partnerships.
The first half of Business Model Design is devoted to business model PATTERNS. At the mid-point, the authors shift gears to focus on business model DESIGN, STRATEGY, and PROCESS.
"Business people don't just need to understand designers better, they need to become designers" is the premise of the design section of the book. There are 6 components of design addressed by the authors: 1) Customer Insights, 2) Ideation, 3) Visual Thinking, 4) Prototyping, 5) Storytelling, and 6) Scenarios.
When it comes to building businesses, nothing good gets built wit ut insight into buyers—their needs, wants, attitudes and perceptions. The empathy map or "customer profiler" helps you get beyond a customer's demographic characteristics (e.g., gender, income) to develop an understanding of their environment, concerns, and aspirations—precisely the kind of deep insight that's needed to deliver compelling value.
Prototyping is a powerful tool for developing fresh, innovative business models. Prototyping got its origin in design and engineering—e.g., product design, architecture—but it works well in business model design to stimulate new thinking and bust boundaries. Take, for example, this prototyping summary from the book publishing industry. There are eight business models captured—seven more than the traditional publishing model Simon & Schuster and other big houses leveraged for over a century.
What's so potent about this visual is that it demonstrates that, despite a longstanding history of doing things one-way, there are always options to explore—options that disrupt industries and create new, breakthrough value.
An exceptionally useful tool in the strategy section of the book is the "Detailed SWOT Assessment of each (of the business model) Building Blocks." The author's SWOT is like a traditional SWOT analysis—i.e., requiring the user to identify Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. However, the lens of the business model SWOT is more granular than that of a traditional SWOT used to evaluate a company or a business. Specifically, the Business Model Generation SWOT calls for the reader to assess each of the nine business model building blocks against several criteria that are detailed out in the book in the form of questions.
What are your business model's…?
This SWOT questions are perhaps one of the meatiest, distinctively valuable eight pages in the book. It certainly takes a traditional SWOT to a new level with the inclusion of pre-defined questions to help bust through existing mental frames that can limit thinking.
I'm also a fan of the framework the authors propose for evaluating an organization's environment. I'm a long-time user of Porter's 5-Forces Model combined with a PESTLE analysis or macro-environmental scan. What I like about the author's business model environment framework is that it combines foresight, macroeconomics, market and competitive analysis into one. It also can be summed up on one page. I love a one-pager.
As with their version of the SWOT, that author's help the reader understand and apply the framework by including detailed questions to evaluate each force or trend. Priceless—especially for new users to these type of frameworks and analyses.
The 9 years of research, 470 authors, 77 forum discussions and more that went into the creation of Business Model Generation have clearly yielded a first-rate guide. There's a lot of fresh content included but what's most compelling about the book is that it builds upon proven-effective business best practices and tools and applies them to the distinctive goal of creating a business model. For example, SWOT analyses, Blue Ocean Strategy, Empathy Maps and more are all concepts and frameworks that have been around for a while. Instead of reinventing the wheel, the authors repurpose these valuable tools, giving them new meaning and a new application. With this book, the buyer doesn't just get the author's model—the canvas—they get years of best practices and thought leadership vetted and applied to one of the key entrepreneurial challenges of the day: business model design.

Flash Movie Review: My Little Pony: The Movie
WE HAD MET WITHIN a group of people who assembled at the art museum. Throughout our time there we bumped into each other several times; it seemed we appreciated the same artists. Everyone from the group returned to our meeting place in the lobby near the gift shop at the designated time. Some individuals said their goodbyes and left; others broke off into smaller groups to stick around or do something else. She and I decided to go out for coffee since it was too early to get something to eat. We walked over to a nearby café, found an open table and sat down with our menus in hand. After we placed our orders we talked about our appreciation for the same artists and how fortunate we were to have a world class art museum in our city. FROM OUR CONVERSATION THAT initially focused on art we veered into the topic of beauty and what does it mean to be beautiful. We touched on a variety of aspects concerning beauty; for example, the unrealistic expectations found in modeling and fashion. I do not know how it happened but we started to share our own assessment of our looks. Something she said struck me in a curious way; it was the way she said it I think that made me question her further. When she talked about herself I noticed a majority of her comments had a negative element to them. I could not understand why she felt that way so I simply asked her if she thought she was not a beautiful person. She just stared at me for only a moment before I noticed tears welling up, about to spill out of her eyes. Turning her head away she looked out the window before she whispered yes. After a brief silence she explained that she was born with a hair lip that took a couple of surgeries to correct, though a trace of it remained. Ever since that time she always felt poorly about herself. I did not want to prod and see if she was teased or treated differently since it was obvious she still was dealing with some emotional baggage over it. Sadly I could relate since I had body image issues growing up that did a number on me. It takes one small thing whether a comment or one's own lack of confidence that takes us on a path of darkness. FORCED OUT OF THEIR city due to an evil threat; it would take friendship, magic and hope for Princess Skystar, voiced by Kristin Chenoweth (Bewitched, The Boy Next Door), and her friends to find a way to save their precious homes. This animated, adventure comedy also had Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada, Looper) voicing Tempest Shadow, Uzo Aduba (Tallulah, Orange is the New Black-TV) voicing Queen Novo, Taye Diggs (Chicago, Private Practice-TV) voicing Capper and Liev Schreiber (Spotlight, X-Men Origins: Wolverine) voicing The Storm King. The animation was your typical old fashioned Saturday morning flat style. I am afraid the script was written in a narrow range for the 5-7 year old set; there was not much offered for anyone older. Unfortunately I found a good portion of this movie boring. It was not until the last ½ hour or so that I became interested. And it was a shame because I thought the message conveyed was poignant and meaningful. For those of you who were into My Little Pony toys you might enjoy this story more than I did. For the rest of the viewing audience I suggest you skip this ride at the theater.

Flash Movie Review: Chuck
"YOU should write a book about it," is a comment that has been directed to me numerous times. The reason has less to do with my writing ability and more with the incredible to outrageous stories I have been involved in or told. I will avoid using pronouns to protect the individuals. There was one person I was involved with whose family history played out like an evening soap opera, television show. One family member was going to be elected to a high political position until their views deviated from the people in power. The person I knew was sent out of the country to avoid any fallout, but to also get a better education. Spending many years traveling the world instead of coming back home, they told me about some of their experiences in foreign lands that I have not even seen done in a movie. One of these stories involved a stalker and a secret intelligence agency; that is all I can say about this individual. RECENTLY I was involved with someone who had a story to tell me every time we got together. One of the stories was accompanied with photographs; however, they could only show me a select few because they were brought in to oversee a secret government operation. The first photo they showed me was of them standing in front of a posted sign out in the jungle. I immediately knew why they had to be secretive about their whereabouts. Another photo showed how they were transported to this secret location; essentially it was a cargo bay with portable toilets and folding chairs nailed to the floor. It was so not part of my little corner of the world that I did not even know how to respond to any of it. I could go on with so many other encounters I have had that I could actually fill up a whole book. However if I do that then I cannot tell you whether it was worth seeing this biographical drama about a man who was the real boxer behind the famous film character Rocky Balboa. KNOWN as the "Bleeder of Bayonne" boxer Chuck Wepner, played by Liev Schreiber (Spotlight, Ray Donovan-TV), was a hometown hero even before there was a movie called Rocky. With Elizabeth Moss (The One I Love, Mad Men-TV) as Phyliss, Naomi Watts (St. Vincent, Diana) as Linda, Jim Gaffigan (17 Again, It's Kind of a Funny Story) as John and Ron Perlman (Poker Night, Hellboy franchise) as Al Braverman; I had never heard about this boxer. Everyone in the cast did a wonderful job of acting. Liev however stood out for me because he was so good in his role, but be prepared there was a lot of blood shown. Not being a big fan of boxing, I was glad that the actual act was secondary to the story. As for the story it was engaging with surprise. The sets, costumes and dialog captured the era; it was interesting to watch the arc of Chuck's story line. If I had to choose one particular thing that increased my interest in this film it would have to be the connection to Sylvester Stallone and the Rocky movie. I think it helped that this was included into the script because it produced deeper emotional intensity to the story. There are so many people in the world that need to have their story told; I was satisfied that this one came to the big screen.

Flash Movie Review: The 5th Wave
The discovery shocks your system and obliterates the minutia floating in your mind. You only have one focus and that is to find the thing you lost. It is such a horrible feeling when you lose something, I know. I stopped to pick up my paycheck at one health club that was on the way to my cycle class. Parking in their lot I locked the door of my car with the remote lock on my keychain then stuffed the keys in my coat pocket. I ran into the club, stopped at the front desk to say hello, got my check and went back outside. This was all in a matter of minutes. As I was walking towards my car I started to fish my car keys out from my pocket, but there was nothing there. This did not immediately register in my brain because I knew I had put my keys in my coat pocket. I took off my glove and tried again but the pocket was empty. Now my brain fired up with these thoughts: where were my car keys, I had to get to class, my workout clothes were locked in the car, and how I would get the car door open. I retraced every step with my head hung over as I continuously scanned the ground for my keys. Just before I had to turn into the front doors I saw an indentation in the snow. At first glance I thought someone did not pick up after their pet since it was dark against the white snow, enough said. Looking closer it was my keys; they must have fallen out as I was running into the club and I did not hear them drop in the snow. Because of the adrenaline rush by the time I walked into my class I was already exhausted. I do not know how the main character kept going in this science fiction action film. WITH the earth experiencing 4 waves of alien induced calamities Cassie Sullivan, played by Chloe Grace Moretz (The Equalizer, Hugo), had only one thing to do and that was to find her brother Sam, played by Zackary Arthur (Transparent-TV). This adventure film was lucky to have Chloe star in it. Also, it was good to have Liev Schreiber (Spotlight, Pawn Sacrifice) play Colonel Vosch. That is all I can say about this dull movie. I sat through most of it trying to figure out which scenes reminded me of previous movies; this was a boring experience. The special effects were nothing special as was the story. Maybe the idea was good but the writers did nothing to distinguish themselves from the previous YA movies of the same genre. Even after reading this you still want to see this picture you better hurry because I believe it will be quickly lost in the mix and I personally would not be upset.

Flash Movie Review: Spotlight
He would be the perfect candidate for a television game show, where the contestants guess the person's occupation. The reason being no one would guess what he did for a living. With a physical shape more akin to a fireplug; he smoked cigarettes, drank and had a Napoleon complex. In other words, he was aggressive to compensate for his short stature. I was never comfortable around him; he would simply bark orders at everyone, barely hiding his mean streak that simmered just below the surface. Do you want to take a guess at his job title? He was a gym teacher; I hesitate to use the words physical education because he did not know much about health or the human body. There were classes where he would just throw a bunch of basketballs out into the gymnasium and tell us to shoot baskets. I think he only did this so he could sit in his office that had two windows covered with metal grates. If any students knew what he was doing in there they never shared their information. I never understood how this man kept his job. He would throw basketballs at our heads or body; in fact I know I must have mentioned this before, but he put one student up against the wall and kept throwing balls at his head while a majority of the students in the bleachers sat and laughed. How could a school system keep such a person in a position of authority who acted like this, like a bully. INVESTIGATIVE reporters from the Boston Globe discovered a pattern of abuse taking place in their city, but no one seemed to be aware of it; or were they just not saying anything? This film festival winning drama was based on a true story. The actors assembled were all so equally terrific that I could not say one of them was the main star. There was Mark Ruffalo (Now You See Me, The Avengers franchise) as Mike Rezendes, Rachel McAdams (The Vow, Midnight in Paris) as Sacha Pfeiffer, Michael Keaton (Batman franchise, White Noise) as Walter "Robby" Robinson and Liev Schreiber (Defiance, Pawn Sacrifice) as Marty Baron. The script being crisply clean without any manipulations played out as a dramatic, suspenseful thriller. There was never a dull moment; every scene mattered and offered a piece to the puzzle the reporters were trying to put together. I do want to say I was impressed with Michael Keaton's performance because this role was such a contrast to his role in Birdman, yet he was equally as prominent. Everything worked in this biographical film from the direction to the acting to the action. Too bad it had this true story available to be turned into a movie; but I am glad they made it because not only is it a major topic, this movie version will be a major player during the award ceremonies.

Flash Movie Review: Pawn Sacrifice
I called it a goal; my friends said it was an obsession. When I planned this movie review site I decided I wanted to do one movie review a day for the entire year. No matter what holiday, in sickness and in health, even on vacation; I planned to write a new film review each and every day for 365 days. And you know what, I did it. Trust me when I tell you it was not always easy. I remember leaving many social functions to race home and get a review posted. Even after working all day then teaching at night, my classes would even ask me what movie I was reviewing that evening and I would tell them only the title, for they would have to wait until I got home to write it. I never considered this an obsession, though I could see where some people would question my sanity. It was more like a challenge and I wanted to be able to say I posted movie reviews for an entire year. After reaching my goal I have to be honest I was relieved. It was getting to me especially on weekends; trying to figure out the logistics to post reviews, going to movies, meeting friends and family for a meal or activity was driving me to exhaustion. That is when I decided to take the weekends off from writing and if something came up during the week where I could not get a review posted to not beat myself up for it. So you see I do not think I have an obsession, though I know there could be a fine line between it and reality. DURING the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union a battle was brewing over a chess match between American chess prodigy Bobby Fisher, played by Tobey Maguire (Labor Day, Seabiscuit), and world chess champion Boris Spassky, played by Liev Schreiber (A Perfect Man, Fading Gigolo). Based on a true story this biographical drama had a compelling story that revealed more than I remembered about the chess games. I thought the acting was spot on, including Peter Sarsgaard (Black Mass, Flightplan) as Father Bill Lombardy; however the script was somewhat flawed. Where I wanted to sympathize with Bobby's plight, I felt the script made him out to simply be an arrogant, hard to get along with hole. The scenes were setup in such a way to provide a good dose of tension, but as the movie progressed I grew tired of Bobby's rants. Maybe they did happen in real life, but I did not find enough background story to the characters. It just seemed as if we were seeing the same "craziness" over and over with little explanation. At the end of the film I came away wondering where Bobby placed on that fine line between an obsessive genius and insanity.

Flash Movie Review: Fading Gigolo
There is a force that is more powerful than any drug; that can turn us into valiant, strong fighters and yet can also bring us down to our knees, wallowing in a puddle of our lost dreams. Love is the force that can make and turn us into so many different variations of ourself. There are some people who love to be in love, where the person they are with may not be the sole focus of their affection. I have seen couples like this, where one person is not motivated to do kind gestures from their heart; they have seen or read about it and are just copying it. An example would be surprising your significant other with tickets to, let us say, a play or sporting event. The fact that they do not know if the other person would like such things does not matter; they just know it is something one is supposed to do. Then there are some people who are driven by their love of something, like money or food. Love can make people do such a variety of things and you will be able to see it for yourself in this dramatic comedy. John Turturro (Barton Fink, The Taking of Pelham 1 2 3) wrote, directed and starred as florist Floravante in this film festival winning movie. Since he was having a hard time making ends meet, Floravante agreed to the plan concocted by his friend Murray, played by Woody Allen (To Rome with Love, Deconstructing Harry). Floravante would be a male escort for a select group of clients. He would discover everyone had their own definition of love. My first reaction to this movie was it felt like it was trying to be a Woody Allen film. There was the same vibe and look to it and even had Woody playing Woody. I did not find much else in common, finding the script to be odd and disconnected in parts. Sharon Stone (Casino, Total Recall) and Sofia Vergara (Machete Kills, Modern Family-TV) as Dr. Parker and Selma were not believable in the least. All I saw on the screen was Sharon and Sofia, not there characters. A nugget of interest was generated with the story line involving Liev Schreiber (Salt, Defiance) as Dovi and Vanessa Paradis (Heartbreaker, The Girl on the Bridge) as Avigal but it never evolved and I disliked what happened to them. There were scenes that were amusing and others that were dull, making an unevenness that led to boredom. I think i knew what John was trying to do in this film but I did not love it.

Flash Movie Review: The Last Days on Mars
On Saturday afternoons there was a television program that exposed me to some strange creatures. I remember watching a being that had the limbs of a human but was totally covered in scales like a fish, living in a dark lagoon. Tomatoes which never frightened me before were now wreaking havoc on innocent citizens with their massive weight. When I was little you would always find me in front of our television set on Saturdays watching this program, where each week the uniformed host would introduce a new movie. As I got older I started to figure out that the space aliens attacking Earth had aluminum foil wrapped around their heads and the colossal woman was not fifty feet tall; there was a split screen which explained my confusion on why there was never any interaction between her and anyone else. All of these movies served some level of entertainment. Looking back at those times I can easily say some of the films are now considered campy. With today's movie review, this science fiction horror thriller took itself too seriously to be considered campy. A small group of space explorers on the planet Mars was completing their duties as they prepared for their return trip back to Earth. Their plans were disrupted when an evil force started to attack them and try to pick them off one at a time. Liev Schreiber (Salt, Defiance) as Commander Vincent Campbell did his best to battle the unknown force; however, I was completely perplexed why he even agreed to do this film. I felt the story was an amalgamation of several other movies, finding nothing new or exciting. The character Kim Aldrich, played by Olivia Williams (An Education, The Sixth Sense), was a Ripley wannabe from the Alien franchise as far as I could tell. The special effects were substandard to the point of almost being laughable. I have been sitting here racking my brain out to find something redeeming to say about this awful film and all I can come up with is the fact it did not have anything offensive in a hateful way. Do yourself a favor and go rent one of those campy movies from the 1950's or 60's, taking a pass on this film that was horrific for the wrong reasons. There were scenes of violence and blood.

Flash Movie Review: The Reluctant Fundamentalist
It is one thing to have a first impression of a person; it is another to act on it. When I first meet someone and form a first impression, I consider it a photograph that I stash in an imaginary photo album. After I really get to know the person, it is fun to go back and see how close my first impression was to the real individual. I am reminded of a man who used to be in one of my yoga classes. When he first walked into class I sensed a sudden shift of energy in the room. Several participants quieted down as they warily gazed at the thick, 6+ foot tall imposing figure with shaved head and piercing dark eyes. They were reacting to his looks, assuming he was a certain type of person. In actuality he was a fun, gentle addition to the class. This movie posed a powerful question that involved impressions; it is one of the reasons I went to see it. Riz Ahmed (Four Lions, Shifty) played Changez, a U.S. educated, rising Wall Street star from Pakistan. During one of his business trips abroad, the World Trade Center in New York City was attacked. His return flight back home would bring him to a changed country. Riz was excellent in this role, as was Kiefer Sutherland (Phone Booth, 24-TV) playing Riz' boss Jim Cross. I thought Liev Schreiber's (Defiance, Repo Men) role as Bobby Lincoln was an excellent character for him. In what was a total miscast, Kate Hudson (Almost Famous, Bride Wars) was absolutely wrong for the role of Changez' girlfriend Erica. Not only was her acting poor, I found her character's story arc ridiculous. With the exception of her, I was able to appreciate what the director and writers were trying to do with this film based on the best selling book. What could have been a thought provoking, powerful movie instead was a film that was too long, filled with melodramatic moments and a sprinkling of intense thrilling scenes. Lesson learned: Do not always believe your first impressions from the movie trailer. Brief scenes with blood in them.

Flash Movie Review: Every Day
It is impossible to control those things that are out of our control. This took me a long time to learn, yet periodically I still try. I came to this realization when I started my yoga studies. Prior to them, each morning I would get angry while I was stuck in traffic on the way to work. There was nothing I could do about it, though I did come up with some creative ideas on how to eliminate the cars around me. From my studies I finally made the connection that day after day I was using up my energy to get angry at something that was out of my control. I still sit in traffic every day but I stay relaxed, listening to music now. In this dramedy we got an honest portrayal of the daily challenges in a family's life. Liev Schreiber (Salt, Defiance) and Helen Hunt (The Sessions, Twister) played married couple Ned and Jeanne. The two began to experience their daily lives veering out of control when Jeanne's cantankerous father Ernie, played by Brian Dennehy (First Blood, Romeo + Juliet), came to live with them. At the same time their gay son Jonah, played by Ezra Miller (We Need to Talk About Kevin, The Perks of Being a Wallflower), announced he wanted to attend the school's prom. I thought the fine acting sold the majority of the multiple story lines. What did not work for me was Ned's office. His boss Garrett's, played by Eddie Izzard (Ocean's Thirteen, The Cat's Meow), extreme requests seemed too outrageous. If Eddie's character was supposed to represent a commentary on reality television, it was lost on me. The topics of elder care and acceptance would have been enough to make a strong story. Adding the other issues, though valid in the real world, only bogged down the pacing in this film. In addition, I believe this caused the ending to be weak. I would have preferred the writers took a couple of issues and dug deeper into them. The movie kept my interest; there was no need to get angry over its flaws. Besides, there was nothing I could do about it anyway.

Washington District Adds 9 More Propane School Buses to Fleet
Bethel (Wash.) School District's new Blue Bird Vision Propane buses are expected to produce nitrogen oxide emissions at 0.02 NOx.
SPANAWAY, Wash. — Bethel School District is adding nine propane-fueled school buses to its fleet.
The new Blue Bird Vision Propane buses will be equipped with engines that are 90% cleaner than the Environmental Protection Agency's current heavy-duty engine standard, and produce nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions at 0.02 NOx, according to Roush CleanTech.
"Bethel School District is the first district to receive school buses that meet the absolute lowest optional NOx level on the market," said Joel Stutheit, the district's assistant director of transportation. "We've lowered the carbon footprint of our school bus fleet with propane school buses, and will continue our commitment to the community with these new buses."
The district, which began adopting propane school buses five years ago, initially purchased 10 Blue Bird Vision school buses equipped with Roush CleanTech propane fuel systems. The district has since increased the number of propane buses in its fleet to 32, and has taken advantage of funding opportunities, using one grant to replace two diesel school buses and another grant to help with future purchases.
In addition to expanding its fleet, Bethel School District has grown its propane fueling infrastructure. The district started with bobtail refueling, which is the delivery of bulk fuel using bobtail trucks, while a new transportation center was being built, and then installed a fueling station with three 1,000-gallon tanks and two dispensers. The tanks are expected to be replaced this spring with a single 4,000-gallon tank, leaving room to add another tank when needed, according to the district.
Overall, Stutheit said, the district has been pleased with its transition to propane school buses "because of the efficiency and the low cost of repairs of the engine," and "drivers like them because they're quiet and don't have the exhaust of diesel buses." In the coming years, he said, the district is going to focus on replacing its diesel-fueled special-needs buses with propane buses.

title: Our Simple JWT Authentication Server
comments: true
---
##Introduction to Express and JWT

If you're new to the `NodeJs` world then maybe you don't know much about [Express](http://expressjs.com/). But if you're not new at all then you know how popular `Express` is. Express is a really simple web framework that makes writing RESTful API's a cinch. Express will be serving our authentication server that we will use in later tutorials for our SPA build in React or Angular, and potentially for our mobile applications.

With our ambition to provide a RESTful service to different front-end applications -- we need to make our authentication process stateless. While normally it would be easy to provide sessions and cookies, the two inherently affect the state. With [JWT](https://jwt.io/) we issue a token that is signed by us and only verified by us. Since the token is passed on all requests and only verified against our `Secret` we can insure we remain stateless.

<!--more-->

I recommend reading the [intro](https://jwt.io/introduction/) at the official `JWT` site. This will be a great primer for when you're unsure about what is going on.

> A BIG NOTE: This is not production ready at-all. A few reasons: Our Tokens aren't complete in hiding extraneous info. There is also managing token-sign-outs and password changes. While we have expirations it is possible to use another server to log logged-out tokens until they expire. Another thing is we do not have SSL to protect users from token capture. I do recommend taking the opportunity to check out [Lets Encrypt](https://letsencrypt.org/) if you're looking to secure your domain. Also you should be using your Env variable -- where here we just define them ourselves.

You can get ahold of the last commit [here](https://github.com/FullPint/simpleJwtAuthServer).

### Getting Our Express Server Up And Running
First We start by running `npm init - y`. This will start our project. It will set all default options. We will be writing with some ES6 syntax when possible so we need to add [Babel.](#) I also like using absolute paths instead of relative ones so we will add `babel-root-import.` So run: `npm install --save morgan express` `npm install --save-dev babel-core babel-eslint babel-preset-es2015 babel-preset-stage-2 babel-root-import`.

You `package.json` should look like below:
{% gist db0554e69c958d5711bbc1d96ad4e9bc/9073514f146f13d08924484978e2e9aaace39f4a %}

Next create your `.babelrc` file in your root directory. We need to add our presets there.
Your `.babelrc` should look like this:
{% gist f544e857814d95b06f0140cd3130331b/1d99e92516c30d8dbac04e6001b9a96c4651bef3 %}

Since we don't really won't have to restart our project every-time we update we will globally install [nodemon.](#) -- `npm install -g nodemon`.

We need to update our start script inside `package.json` to take advantage of this. So next add `nodemon server.js --exec babel-node --presets es2015,stage-2` as out `start` script in `package.json`.
{% gist db0554e69c958d5711bbc1d96ad4e9bc/05080bc4d41bcb17e1460397f374448b30d3a722 %}

While all of this setup is good, we don't have our server setup going yet. Make a file in your root directory called `server.js`. This is will be the entry point for our authentication project.

Inside `server.js` we need to bring in our different modules to start the server and set our options. First following along the clone and I will explain after what's going on.

{% gist 4053ebdc1a2d46936b1ea86ac1155213/b30c5f8db402d2c0d5dd2b6bac829223f96333cb %}

We import `express` and set initialize it as the `const app`. The import `morgan`, set our `port` where the app is connected to. Next `morgan` is set to `dev` mode so we can see when errors are made. Las but not least we call `app.listen()`. This allows `express` to listen for connections, and we log a message.

Run `npm start` and you should see.
{% highlight bash %}
authServer@1.0.0 start /Users/user/authServer
nodemon server.js --exec babel-node --presets es2015,stage-2

[nodemon] 1.8.1
[nodemon] to restart at any time, enter `rs`
[nodemon] watching: *.*
[nodemon] starting `babel-node server.js --presets es2015,stage-2`
Your app is running on PORT: 1600
{% endhighlight %}

### Adding and Connecting to Mongoose

In order for us to be able to add and validate users we need a database. If you don't already have [mongodb](https://www.mongodb.com/) installed you will need to install it. You can find the docs on how to install mongo [here.](https://docs.mongodb.com/manual/tutorial/install-mongodb-on-os-x/)

We will be using a driver for `mongo` called [mongoose.](http://mongoosejs.com/) It offers an easy way for us to model our data, along with other built in modules that'll make our life a lot easier. To install `mongoose` run `npm install --save mongoose.` We will also setup a config file, create `server.config.js` in your root. In the `server.config.js` we will move our port and our database address inside of it. This is convenient for your `.gitignore` to hide this info in your repositories.

{% gist db0554e69c958d5711bbc1d96ad4e9bc/4d5337849bad52cc1f54f5d7edaf6b66d259654b %}
{% gist d5aac1f8b2c34ecad52d03ba2bf2268a/0b6c1a35d7350df2be9af738b496fab3bf8e0fb2 %}

### Creating the User Model

For us to be able to authenticate we need to create users to authenticate against. We do not need much from our user -- just a name and a password since this article is supposed to be a simple one. When we store our users' passwords we will not be storing them in plain text, but using a hashing algorithm called [bcrypt.](https://github.com/ncb000gt/node.bcrypt.js/)

I recommend reading [this article](http://blog.mongodb.org/post/32866457221/password-authentication-with-mongoose-part-1
) from the offical `mongo` site. It goes over how to authenticate using methods within the user model itself and our code is based on it.

We will create two new directories where this will live. A `models` directory and within that a `users` directory. And inside the users directory make a file called `user.model.js`.

{% highlight bash %}
.
├── app
│   ├── models
│       └── users
│           └── user.model.js
├── package.json
├── server.config.js
└── server.js

{% endhighlight %}

Now we need to run the command `npm install --save bcrypt` so that we will be able to use `bcrypt` to hash our use passwords.

{% gist db0554e69c958d5711bbc1d96ad4e9bc/05080bc4d41bcb17e1460397f374448b30d3a722 %}

Copy the following into your `user.model.js`

{% gist 3c51dee3d48ad0ca8d514bf9ef30f3a9/1ab81163b15bc8cef82b1ec07ea730cee97db03d %}

In `user.model.js` we defined our `UserSchema`, and exported it as `User` for use in our controllers later on. We also added some nifty methods within the model. The `.pre` with the paramter `save`, allows us to hash our password when modified before every save. And aslo added our own method called `comparePassword.` We will use this later when we attempt to authenticate a user when they sign in.

### Building the Router.

We need a router to process our `HTTP` requests. This will allow us to build an API to interact with. This article won't go into detail about building a full `API`, and we are just attempting to authenticate a user and pass some sort of confirmation.

Create a `routes/` directory in our `app/` directory. Then place a new file called `main.router.js`. This will be the top of our router allowing one main entry point.

{% highlight bash %}
.
├── app
│   ├── models
│   │   └── users
│   │       └── user.model.js
│   ├── routes
│       └── main.router.js
├── package.json
├── server.config.js
└── server.js

{% endhighlight %}

Next thing to do is to fill in `main.router.js`. We need to initialize the built in router from `express`. Then have an index route that responds with some sort of `JSON`

{% gist a5c1f4f994f7b963599125e92f3e0f53/e4c53f20409f929a210d3100d862ed5b786fb50e %}

With that done, our `server.js` needs to be able to use it. So we will import `mainRouter` and tell our `app` to `use` the module.

{% gist 4053ebdc1a2d46936b1ea86ac1155213/c45c22d21d309d3a621f6ee0c299184327e1f460 %}

### Using Post Man

We need to be able to test if our routes do as we say they will. [Postman](https://www.getpostman.com/) offers a way for us to make requests to our API.

Fire up Postman and make a GET request to http://localhost:1600/ and it should look like this.

![](http://i.imgur.com/0N7legm.png?1")

### Building the Signup Process.

There now needs to be able to make a new user. So we are going to write `user.create.controller.js`. This will be placed inside of a new directory `controllers/users/`. The new structure should look like this.

{% highlight bash %}
.
├── app
│   ├── controllers
│   │   └── users
│   │       └── user.create.controller.js
│   ├── models
│   │   └── users
│   │       └── user.model.js
│   ├── routes
│   │   └── main.router.js
├── package.json
├── server.config.js
└── server.js
{% endhighlight %}

Inside of `user.create.controller.js` we bring in the `User` from our model and process our `(req, res)`. `Req` will carry the `body` of request from the client.

We first check and see if the `body` contains userName and password. Then create a newUser object and test it against our `save` method that we wrote for our model.

{% gist d667cdb52d267acb4ce3fed4713f4932/1aa7b93932b50005de650791a55e02b55d8470d1 %}

In order to parse the request we need to `npm install --save body-parser`.

The new `package.json`:

{% gist db0554e69c958d5711bbc1d96ad4e9bc/9df30a90fb5af6f7b47cb0d8dd8137ba4f4541ac %}

Now we need to update the `server.js` to use `body-parser`. And we set these two things

{% highlight javascript %}
app.use(boodyParser.urlencoded({
  extended: false
}))
app.use(boodyParser.json())
{% endhighlight %}

Using `urlencoded` and `extended` false option ensures we only accept `UTF-8` encoding and only accept key value pairs of arrays and strings. The we tell boodyParser to only accept JSON.

Now we need to modify `main.router.js`, to allow us to use the controller. We import the module and tell the router when a POST call is made to `/signup` that our `user.create.controller` handles it.

{% gist a5c1f4f994f7b963599125e92f3e0f53/66e2f61af93cdbb85c7ae33b04eb5d684129bbb5 %}

Now in postman send a POST call to http://localhost:1600/signup. You need to send both a `userName` and `password` as keys. And it should work!

### Loging In Users and Authorizing Requests

Before we write our controllers we neet add a package to create and decode JWT's. We will be using [jsonwebtoken.](https://github.com/auth0/node-jsonwebtoken) Run `npm install --save jsonwebtoken`.

We need two new controllers in `controllers/user` and they will be `user.login.controller` and `user.auth.controller`.

{% highlight bash %}
.
├── app
│   ├── controllers
│   │   └── users
│   │       ├── user.auth.controller.js
│   │       ├── user.create.controller.js
│   │       └── user.login.controller.js
│   ├── models
│   │   └── users
│   │       └── user.model.js
│   ├── routes
│        └── main.router.js
├── package.json
├── server.config.js
└── server.js
{% endhighlight %}

We will first be working with `user.login.controller`. It needs to be able to verify the userName and password -- create and sign a token -- the send it to the client.

{% gist 6f6da27ef97cabd3367470d453a2a261/896e05799996f779de648808ca132bb5adbfd2b3 %}

We then need to provide a route for it. So back in `main.router` we add this component and have it execute when the client asks for `/login`.

{% gist a5c1f4f994f7b963599125e92f3e0f53/09450c3dbeec4107bd3e7d245dec596e9f796229 %}

Now when you use postman and make a POST call at http://localhost:1600/login and pass the userName and password you signed up with earlier, you should receive a token as a response from the server. We will be using the token to authenticate requests moving forward.

Now our `user.auth.controller` will act as  [middleware](http://expressjs.com/en/guide/using-middleware.html) for requests. For this example we will protect our API using the middleware. A key part of middleware is the next statement so keep an eye out for it.

The module will take our request, either respond with error like "invalid token" or "No token provided" -- or allow us through to our actual request.

{% gist 8815c11235527f9b59a405ebd05b103b/ccef356ca802db8548d3ddc6b48ecf71994d8831 %}

Then hook it up to our router as before. This time though -- we will specify to use the module for all routes that fall underneath http://localhost:1600/api. We will aloso put in a route under it http://localhost:1600/api/v1 to respond with a message to show that it works.

{% gist a5c1f4f994f7b963599125e92f3e0f53/e0f7e8e35128dc8a25e16fe83ed5241f7b0951a5 %}

Now when you fire up postman and pass in the token with your request to http://localhost/api/v1 you should get a 'success response'.

## One Last Thing and Conclusion

We need to run `npm install --save cors` to add [cors.](https://github.com/expressjs/cors) This will allow us in later tutorials to use this auth server for our front-end applications.

With `express` and `JWT` we showed an easy way to both authenticate users and protect our API's from unwanted clients. This is really powerful as we can provide user specific experiences to  API's, Web Applications, and Mobile Applications.

Need the value in item.Customer to be sent To the Controller Through the "Create New Button"

A: You should be able to put the value in a hidden form field and then add that field as a parameter to the controller action to which the form posts.

A: First, make sure you start a form that submits the appropriate controller/action. Second, store the value in a hidden field (via the HiddenFor extension method):
<% using(Html.BeginForm("YourAction","YourController)) { %>

        <% foreach(var item in Model){ %>

                <%= Html.LabelFor(model => item.Customer) %>

"Bucket Club really came out of being tired of not having anything going on," Nel explains. She had just moved to London and "was just sat around in my room, thinking 'how the hell am I ever going to start?' Then we went back to Bristol to catch up with friends and had so many conversations where all of us were saying, "I'm bored of working in cafes… I want to make something! So we got our ideas together for a show and applied for the Lyric Hammersmith residency." This two-week period in June last year was when Lorraine & Alan, its multi-disciplinary and off-beat take on the Selkie myth, first came together.
Matt suggests that the trick to it is "thinking like it's already happened, that it's going to happen, so it's got to happen – if you can talk like that, it seems to work. I mean, I think we can both be shy… I've seen us both go red when people have offered us these opportunities! But," he affirms, "you can't just sit and wait for it." Nell agrees, " Of all the people who are out there, if you're the one who says you're going to do it, you're already a step ahead. Having the balls to do something is half of everything, really," which is perhaps some of the soundest advice for young theatre-makers I've heard in a while.
Lorraine & Alan will be playing at the New Diorama Theatre as part of A Younger Theatre's Incoming Festival. For more information on Bucket Club, visit its website. For tickets for the Incoming Festival, please see the New Diorama's website.
