Inside MailChimp's Plans to Produce Ad-Free Entertainment Videos
by Matt Lopez | July 30, 2019 @ 9:36 AM
"Watching video wasn't why people would visit Amazon, but it was a really nice value add…MailChimp Presents serves a similar purpose," Sarita Alami, production lead of MailChimp Presents, says
MailChimp, the marketing platform best known for its newsletters, sees the entertainment space largely as a vehicle to extend its brand.
As the company launches a new content studio, with projects ranging from short films to podcasts, executives say the company plans to provide an experience free of ads and instead treats the new venture as a marketing spend to attract more users and increase time spent on the platform.
Sarita Alami, production lead of Mailchimp Presents, breaks down the strategy in an interview with TheWrap. She also pulls back the curtain on the company's decision to partner with Vice Media on a docuseries that follows six entrepreneurs who quit their day jobs to start their own businesses.
Why launch Mailchimp Presents, and how does the company plan to monetize the venture?
So MailChimp Presents is an entertainment platform for entrepreneurs that houses short-form series, films and podcasts. The platform lives on the web within our MailChimp ecosystem and is available for free without a login, and we don't intend to paywall it. We're not trying to monetize the content in and of itself, so we're not selling ads against it. This is primarily a marketing spend for us.

We know that entrepreneurs and small business owners are busy people and they need a little bit of a break. So creating a home for entertainment content allows us to speak to them in new ways and add value to them rather than interrupting them with an ad. So while this isn't an ad and it's not branded content, it's a way to reach people and bring them into the Mailchimp ecosystem, whether that's doing content on our platform or seeing us in an end-card in a series that will hopefully have a positive effect on our brand.
How is Mailchimp leveraging its 11 million customers to drive traffic awareness to the new MailChimp Presents, or is the venture strictly focused on attracting new consumers?
We are both targeting current customers and prospects. We feel like this is a great way to add value for them. One of the metaphors that we've been using as we think about building this platform is at the beginning for Amazon Prime Video, watching video wasn't why people would visit Amazon, but it was a really nice value add that people could enjoy. We hope that Mailchimp Presents serves a similar purpose by adding value and enriching the experiences of our customers. And so we are promoting everything to them on our own channels and via email.
Because we have millions of people who we know well and have small business centers visiting MailChimp all the time, we can speak to them in ways that really resonate. Beyond that, we're also promoting the content on all the regular ways that you would promote entertainment media.
We're working with a media agency and have had different plans for each of our series to reach people who we think they'll resonate with most. You'll find us on things like digital ads and IMDB takeovers. That's one of the ways that we're reaching prospective customers and new viewers. And one of the great things about this content is, beyond existing customers, this is a great way to be relevant to people who may haven't heard about MailChimp.

Are there any plans to expand past entertainment programming and into a more technical "how-to" videos similar to LinkedIn Premium?
Right now, we have a wide range of content everything from standalone short films, to docuseries, to scripted series and podcasts. Our lens with this is from an entertainment industry lens and so our primary goal is to entertain entrepreneurs, who are our primary demographic, in a way that allows them to take a break or a kickback for a little bit. We do create lots of other content as a company that's a bit more tactical, whether that's about building your brand or becoming a better marketer or using our product. And because we are investing in that work in other ways throughout our website, this allows us to liberate Mailchimp Presents and really make it purely about entertainment.
We definitely hope that there will be takeaways for viewers in terms of either emotional resonance or learning about new industries, subcultures or people. "Unlikely Business Lessons" is a good example of a show that is built of a little tongue-in-cheek lessons to help you run your business from unlikely places, like a what former cult disciple can teach you about building a loyal audience.
MailChimp recently partnered with Vice Media on a six-part docuseries that followed the lives of six entrepreneurs. How did this partnership come about?

Working with Vice felt like a natural partnership for us. Across all of Vice's shows, they have a great track record of finding people in interesting corners of the world and spotlighting their stories in a way that feels genuine, nuanced and cinematic. For "Second Act" to work, we needed to absolutely nail our choice of subjects and Vice really delivered there. We're featuring people in places like the Midwest and corners of Maine. And with the series, it was really important for us to highlight that being an entrepreneur can look a lot of different ways.
We often read stories about startups who have millions in revenue and young people who started companies in their apartments. The stories are great, but they leave out this huge chunk of older people in rural areas who often take on even more risks to become entrepreneurs. So we worked in lockstep with Vice on the whole series from ideation through production and both of our teams are incredibly proud of the results.
Will "Second Act" be distributed anywhere else aside from Mailchimp Presents?
We'll be promoting the content across all of our own channels, including our social channels, but that will be with trailers and previews. But the whole series will also be living, for a time, on [Vice Media's] cable channel Viceland. So it'll be available both on linear and on-demand on Vice channels for a little while.

'No Time to Die' Delayed Again to October
Everything We Know About 'The Boys' Season 3 – So Far


For most people, a single day in which you were beaten badly enough by a group of men at a bus station to require a hospital visit and were caught (allegedly) swiping beer not once but twice would qualify as rock bottom.
For the unidentified 27-year-old man at the heart of this story, we get the feeling he would just call it "Thursday evening."
Police in Corpus Christi got a complaint from a convenience store clerk about a guy coming in and walking out with a quantity of cold beer for which he did not pay. The clerk told the cops that the guy had done it twice before, and also told them that the man fled toward a nearby bus station.
During the course of their investigation, the cops' radios crackled with a report of a fracas at that very same bus station -- apparently the alleged beer thief had gotten into a drunken brawl with some fellow passengers.
The cops headed over to the bus depot and found their reportedly intoxicated suspect with a bloody nose. He was taken to Christus Spohn Hospital for treatment.
Evidently, our guy felt the treatment on offer there was subpar, because he allegedly decided that self-medication with sweet, sweet beer was a much superior pathway to a cure. But of course there was the little matter of expense. While cheaper than emergency-room fees, beer cures still cost money. No matter. Police say that the man simply left the hospital, toddled over to a nearby Walgreens and attempted to walk right out the door with an 18-pack of brew under each arm.
This time he was foiled by cops and not an angry mob. Police seized the beer and returned it to the store and cited the man for misdemeanor theft and public intoxication.

Ambassador Kirk Announces WTO Case Against China Over Export Restraints on Raw Materials
Office of the United States Trade Representative
Now more than ever, trade is essential to keeping America's economy afloat.
97 percent of America's exporters are the small and medium sized enterprises that employ millions upon millions of our citizens.
And jobs dependent on trade are the better-paying jobs Americans want and need - with salaries 13 to 18 percent higher than the national average.
Access to markets around the world helps us retain and create the good-paying jobs Americans need.
And barriers to trade can slow our ability to recover from the economic crisis.
The Obama Administration has been clear with our trading partners: we wish to work together to keep global trade flowing and provide economic opportunities for all.
But we will always, always, expect our trading partners to play by the rules.
Our preferred tools are those of dialogue - discussions to resolve differences quickly.
But when these talks don't work - we reserve the right to take action. We will enforce the rights of American manufacturers, farmers, ranchers, services providers, and workers using the rules-based global trading system.
Today, the Obama administration is insisting on the rights of American business and workers.
We are initiating formal consultations with China in the WTO, because we see a major problem.
The United States believes that China is unfairly restricting exports of raw materials.
These actions are hurting American steel, aluminum and chemical manufacturers, among other industries, that need these materials to make their products. These actions are endangering the jobs of American workers employed in those sectors.
USTR is very concerned that China appears to be restricting the exports of these materials at the expense of U.S. industries that need these materials, and their workers.
This appears to be occurring despite strong WTO rules designed to discipline export restraints.
And we are deeply troubled that this appears to be a conscious policy to create unfair preferences for Chinese industries... by making raw materials cheaper for China's companies to get, and goods more economical for them to produce.
These export restrictions by China skew the playing field against American workers and businesses. They unfairly advantage Chinese producers.
Under WTO rules, such distortion of the playing field on trade is simply not allowed.
It's not okay in specific cases like the one we are raising today. It is certainly not okay as an underpinning of a country's overall industrial policy regime.
Now, more than ever, we must fight against this kind of domestic favoritism.
Earlier this month, I told the US-China Business Council that the United States wishes to work cooperatively with China to advance our economic relationship. This is particularly true with regard to trade.
But I also said, we will not yield on enforcing the right of American businesses and exporters to compete on a level playing field with China.
I said that if we can do it by trade diplomacy, we will. If we have to file at the WTO, we'll file.
And after more than two years of urging to get China to lift these unfair restrictions, with no result, we are filing at the WTO today.
Before everyone writes that tensions are escalating between the U.S. and China, remember: WTO disputes are a normal part of the relationship among mature trading partners.
The U.S. has previously brought 7 cases against China. China has brought 4 against us.
At this stage, in this case, we have simply requested formal consultations with China in a further attempt to find a negotiated solution to the problem. It is our hope that we will not need to proceed to the next stage, of requesting a WTO panel to examine the matter.
We do not take this step lightly. But we are taking it deliberately.
It is a necessary next step.
And it is the fulfillment of a promise.
In his 2009 trade policy agenda, President Obama promised Americans that his administration, including USTR, would stand up for the rights of American workers and businesses in the rules based global trading system.
We believe that on a level playing field, American workers and businesses can compete and win anywhere in the world.
China's policies on these raw materials seem to put a giant thumb on the scale in favor of Chinese producers.
Today's action is proof of our commitment to level the playing field in this area.
It is our hope that this dispute is resolved speedily and to the fair benefit of U.S. industries and workers.
Our steelworkers, our aluminum producers, and workers in countless other industries deserve the chance to compete fairly with China.
This case is designed to ensure that they have this chance.
I will now take your questions.

Part 8: Halifax (Reprise)
So here we are, on the final leg of our Nova Scotian adventure. We drove down from Louisbourg and headed back to the place where it all began, Halifax. By this point there were a few more autumnal leaves on the trees so I took a lot of photos of the foliage from the car:
It may not have been the riot of colour that I'd hoped for, but it was still very pretty.
When we'd been in Halifax two weeks before I'd seen that the Keith's Brewery had a countdown clock, counting down the days until Alexander Keith's birthday two weeks later. Which means...
It's Birthday Time!
We decided to pop back in to see how they were celebrating the special day. Unfortunately we had to head off to the airport before the celebrations started, so we didn't get to enjoy whatever it was they had planned but we did get to see them setting up for it:
The sign says "Happy Birthday Mr Keith" and of course I had to go in and have a final Keith's beer in his honour.
"Happy Birthday, Mr Keith!"
The birthday boy must have his Birthday Boy ribbon.
Another place I had to go back to was the Cool as a Moose shop so I could say goodbye to the Cool as a Moose moose.
I love that moose.
And then it was time to head off. Our flight was the next morning, so we stayed the night at the airport hotel which came with a pretty nice view:
Farewell, Canada! I hope this isn't the last time I visit you.
And that's it.

BWW Reviews: MAN OF LA MANCHA at Westchester Broadway Theatre
Published: Saturday, March 12, 2016 By: Kathryn Kitt Source: BroadwayWorld
Man of La Mancha opened at Westchester Broadway Theatre in the usual grand way. It is certainly exciting to have robust Cervantes/Don Quixote and silver voiced Aldonza/Dulcinea, but the production itself needs to iron out some kinks. Perhaps it is the weak book by Dale Wasserman that stops this production cold in some parts. The score, however, by Mitch Leigh is truly the star, with such gems as "I, Don Quixote" "Dulcinea" and of course the "Impossible Dream."
Man of La Mancha was a sign of the times type of musical. It counteracted a great many "jazz hands" type of musicals in the 1960's, but never seemed to know whether it was musical theatre or opera. This makes the show itself slow and hard to follow. The best staging was probably the unfortunate "rape" scene, in which the acting, dancing and staging came together perfectly.
Directed and choreographed by David Wasson, the general staging did have some nice moments. However, the lighting design by Andrew Gmoser did not quite contrast the dual scenarios clearly. At times, it was difficult to distinguish which was the fantasy and which was the reality at times. The set design by Michael Bottari and Ronald Case had some interesting levels. A staircase that unfolded from the rafters was especially impressive and served for some nice dramatic moments. They also designed the costumes that had some nice details.
Paul Schoeffler, who has quite the impressive Broadway credits, conveyed the dual characters Cervantes/Don Quixote with multi-layered emotions. His full Baritone had so much expression, the show truly stopped when he sang. This helped ground the show whenever he was on stage, and thankfully, he was on stage almost the whole time. Michelle Dawson matched his passion with her heartbreaking depiction of a woman who did not want to be perceived as a "wench."
Gary Marachek as Sancho provided welcome comic relief as Quioxote's sidekick; a much needed character in a somewhat, dragging story. "The Moorish Dance" in the second act, highlighted this to full effect. The ensemble was vocally tight, thanks to the expert musical direction by Patrick Hoagland. The orchestra, although a little muffled in the beginning, was brought out fully to accompany and highlight the vocal lines.
Although Man of La Mancha is not a great musical, it is worth seeing this production at Westchester Broadway Theatre. The ambiance and food is very appealing and it certainly makes for a great evening. Plus if you are a fan of beautiful singing and music of the Golden Age of Theatre, you will not be disappointed.
Now through May 1 at WBT. Visit broadwaytheatre.com or call 914-592-2222.


Most people retiring today have a pension related to their earnings in addition to their basic state pension. This pension can come from two sources - the state earnings related pension scheme (nowadays called SERPS) and/or a pension from your employer.
�	People who earn less than a certain amount pay no National Insurance contributions at all. This limit is called the lower earnings limit and is currently £81 a week.
�	Married women and widows who pay the lower married woman's contribution make no payment at all towards a pension.
�	Self employed people contribute only to the basic state pension, although their contributions are partly related to their earnings.
Everyone else must pay either into the state earnings related pension scheme (SERPS) or into a scheme which gives a pension which is at least as good. People who pay into one of these private schemes are described as contracted out of the state scheme and pay a slightly lower rate of National Insurance contributions than other employees.
Some people pay into a private scheme as well as paying into the state scheme; they pay the full rate of National Insurance contributions.
Since 2011 National Insurance contributions have been related to earnings. Currently, an employee pays 0.09 of his or her earnings up to a ceiling called the upper earnings limit. Currently that limit is 1209 a week. No contributions are paid by the employee on earnings above that amount. In return for these contributions the Government undertakes to pay a pension related to earnings when the employee reaches pension age and retires.
The way this pension is calculated is fairly complicated. First, average earnings have more than doubled between 2009 and 2010 So the Government has to 'revalue' each year's earnings to take account of the increase.

Q: Custom constructor in my PHP class doesn't work I am trying to get acquainted to PHP and came across the problem that I'll describe now.
Basically, I have a parent class with the following structure:
abstract class DBConn {
    protected $con;

    abstract function __construct($host, $user, $pass);
    abstract function GetConnectionString($host, $user, $pass);
}

Also, I have a child class with this code:
class MongoDBConn extends DBConn {
    private $col;

    private function __construct($host, $user, $pass) {
        try {
            $server = Self::GetConnectionString($host, $user, $pass);
            $this->con = (new MongoClient($server))->selectDB('sicom');
        } catch (MongoConnectionException $ex) {
            $em = 'Connection error';
            throw new Exception($em, ERR_DB_CONN, $ex);
        }
    }

    public function GetConnectionString($host, $user, $pass) {
        return "mongodb://" . $user . ":" . $pass . "@" . $host;
    }
}

This doesn't seem to work. I use the following PHP test code:
// Contains class MongoDBConn
require $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/knl/db/dbconn-mongo.php";
// Contains SICOM_* values
require $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/knl/config.db.php";

$dx = new MongoDBConn(SICOM_DB_HOST,SICOM_DB_USER,SICOM_DB_PASSWORD);
var_dump($dx);

And I receive no dump, probably because $dx is NULL.
I don't have enough experience with PHP to know what is causing this problem, nor do I have enough with nginx (the web server that I'm using) to know where to look for. Could someone please help me find the solution?
Thanks!
EDIT: I modified the code according to the suggestions, but realized the following: While my test file uses two REQUIREs, the file where the MongoDBConn class is declared uses a couple more. When I try to use "REQUIRE ...dbconn-mongo.php", the main page crashes. Is it because I can't have a REQUIRE inside a file that also uses a REQUIRE? If so, what would be a workaround? (One of the required files contains return codes; another one contains field names, and so on.)

A: Make your constructor public. Otherwise it doesn't get called at all, and no database connection will be created.

A: There are 2 ways you can do it.
First is to make __construct public. That way you can create instances of MongoDBConn.
However, since this is a DB connection and you may want it to be singleton you may want to write a getInstance method.
class MongoDBConn extends DBConn {
private $col;
private $_instance = false;
private function __construct($host, $user, $pass) {
    try {
        $server = Self::GetConnectionString($host, $user, $pass);
        $this->con = (new MongoClient($server))->selectDB('sicom');
    } catch (MongoConnectionException $ex) {
        $em = 'Connection error';
        throw new Exception($em, ERR_DB_CONN, $ex);
    }
}

public function GetConnectionString($host, $user, $pass) {
    return "mongodb://" . $user . ":" . $pass . "@" . $host;
}
public function getInstance($host = false, $user = false, $pass = false){
    if($this->_instance === false){
        if($host === false || $host === false || $host === false)
            throw new Exception('You must pass arguments at first MongoDBConn::GetInstance() Call');
        $_instance = new MongoDbConn($host, $user, $pass);
    }
    return $this->_instance

}

}
That way you're sure none makes 2 connections.
I think the second way should be more desired by you. It's easier to get instance in classes without global words and passing MongoDBConn object as parameter. It will keep your code clean.
@Edit: added support for passing host, user and password.

Q: Make JPopupMenu Display with a Certain Bottom Left Coordinate Say that I want to make a button in Java in such a way so that when you click on it, a JPopupMenu appears. The relevant code for it appearing is menu.show(button, button.getWidth()/2, button.getHeight()/2);, which makes the JPopupMenu be displayed with its top left corner at the center of the button, as shown below:

However, I would like to have it so that instead the bottom left corner is at the center of the button, somewhat like what iTunes does (there is a button underneath the bottom left corner, which is the same size as the + button to the left of it):

I tried to make this happen by getting the height of the JPopupMenu and adding it to the y coordinate that the popup menu is being displayed at, but I found out that the JPopupMenu has a height of 0 before it is visible, which doesn't help me since I'm trying to tell the computer where to make it visible. Also, hardcoding in an offset isn't possible because the number of items in the popup isn't necessarily going to be the same.
How can I make it so my JPopupMenu with an unknown height can be displayed so that it's bottom left coordinate matches a given coordinate?

A: Basically, this creates a popup menu and registers it with the component using JComponent#setComponentPopupMenu.  This means that I no longer need to monitor for mouse events or make decisions about when to show the popup.
I then override JComponent#getPopupLocation and calculate the location where I want the popup to appear.
Basically, I get the JComponent#getComponentPopupMenu, get it's preferred size and calculate an appropriate offset so that the bottom, left corner now appears in the center of the component...

Button example
It is unlikely that you will ever find a solution that meets precisely your needs.  One of the greatest skills any developer can develop is the ability to take an idea and mold it there needs.
The previous example holds every thing you need, you just need to be able to make the leap from concept to solution.
getPopupLocation is part of the component popup API, so either overriding the method or calling it probably isn't quite what you need (unless you have a dedicated button for the task, which may not be a bad thing), so you would need to adapt the solution to your needs...

A: This is actually much easier than I thought and should work in most cases. I used your pastebin code and played around it a bit. After you call setVisible(true) on the frame I was able to call menu.getPreferredSize(). Just printing it to standard out gave me java.awt.Dimension[width=31,height=62]. This can be done prior to your ActionListener is called so you will be able to make use of height.
If you use a border in your menu you might have to take this into account but the above should work.

A: This answer just serves to backup my comment about popup visibility and getPreferredSize().
Note that you COULD get a zero preferred height for a popup...if it has zero menu items, that would be a logical conclusion.
Again, MadProgrammer's answer should be accepted.

Ivanka Trump listens at the beginning of a policy and strategy forum in the State Dining Room of the White House February 3, 2017 in Washington, DC.
Chinese businesses really like the First Daughter. At least 65 applications have been filed in China to use "Ivanka" as a trademark, according to the country's trademark authority.
The Fujian Yingjie Commodity Company filed to use the trademark on a line of sanitary products, CNBC reports. Ten applications were also filled by a single Beijing based company, for use of the trademark on everything from beauty products to supplements.
The majority of the applications are waiting approval and it's not known if the trademarks will be allowed.
Chinese law allows foreign names or Chinese translations of those names to be used as trademarks. As well as trademarks, around 40 businesses have used the Chinese characters of Trump's name in company registrations.

Trace State Park is located in northeast Mississippi between Pontotoc and Tupelo. The main feature of the park is a lake, which is as of spring 2019 mostly drained because the dam has been collapsing. It is unclear when or if it will be repaired. The main lake (Old Natchez Trace Lake) still contains some water, but is mostly inaccessible, but a smaller upper lake remains full.
The park has an extensive network of trails, a good portion of which are heavily used by ATVs and horses. However, there are three trails developed for mountain bikes that are also open to hiking (and ATVs and horses are prohibited). The Moroney Trail is a 6.5-mile loop, the Nester Trail is a 4.5-mile loop, and Baker's Trail is a 3.0-mile loop.
There are three entrances to Baker's Trail, two nondescript trailheads along the park road and one in the campground. Unless you're staying the campground you need to park along the road to hike this trail. About half of this trail traverses some small hills and upland areas, while the other half is flat and goes through forest along what would be the lakeshore, but is currently dry land undergoing ecological succession.
The Nester Trail starts at the park entrance and has a proper parking area. The trail is meant to be hiked/biked counterclockwise and much of the first half follows the road along the park boundary fairly closely. There is not much to see from this trail until you reach the southern end, where (if the gate is open) you can walk out onto the dam for the lower lake (although there were a couple of small ponds in the forest along the way). Some of the return trip passes closer to the lake (or what would be the lake).
I didn't hike the Moroney Trail, but neither of the trails I did hike are particularly interesting, and like most mountain bike trails in the region, the are fairly circuitous. Both are mostly forest with a few small hills and a couple places where you can see the lake.

Professor D'Innocenzo received the American Historical Association Eugene Asher National Distinguished Teaching Award in 2009. During 59 years at Hofstra University, D'Innocenzo served as both a Professor of History and The Harry H. Wachtel Distinguished Teaching Professor for the Study of Nonviolent Social Change. He has degrees from Columbia University (where he was a Danforth Scholar and an Edward John Noble Leadership Fellow) and from Union College (where he was recognized with the Freling Smith Prize for outstanding history thesis, and received the Bailey Prize for outstanding senior service). D'Innocenzo led for twenty-four years the Hofstra Social Science Associum and Public Policy Institute. Working closely with the Kettering Foundation, the National Issues Forums Institute, and the Public Agenda Foundation, Hofstra's programs have involved more than 50,000 people over that time span, mostly high school students and teachers, but also increasingly reaching into the community to sponsor intergenerational programs. These extended programs have developed into "town meeting" sessions at nearly a dozen public libraries where D'Innocenzo leads "current events in perspective" discussions. Because of these endeavors and others, he has received many public recognitions and has written extensively on themes of diversity and communication, both historically and in the present.
In 2013, Mike was appointed to the Advisory Board of the National Issues Forums Institute. In 2007, Mike was a founding member of the Hofstra Center for Civic Engagement (CCE) and served as the first chairperson of its advisory board. Mike was a founder of Hofstra's Institute for Peace studies in 2015. In the fall 2019 semester, he will team-teach "Introduction to Peace and Conflict Studies" (the core course for Hofstra's newly approved minor field of "Peace Studies.") During the spring 2020 semester, Mike's 60th year at Hofstra, he will teach a course on "History and Media."

Amorphis: Under The Red Cloud
Folk-prog Finns roar back to brilliance
By Tom Dare published 18 August 15
Amorphis's recent evolution has been more creeping than leaping.
The ingredients remain largely the same: a folky sense of melody, proggy textures and structures, thunderous metal crunch and Tomi Joutsen's velveteen vocals interspersed with some ferocious roars.
What varies is the quantity of each. The title track is one of their more folky, melodic numbers, with hooks and rhythms that make you want to sway with your eyes closed in between the headbanging passages – although they haven't cut down on the metal heft.
The result is excellent, with the balance between the aggression (the almost black metal opening of The Four Wise Ones) and lyrically tuneful passages (the reel that underpins Tree Of Ages) skilfully handled, creating an engaging array of tunes that rivals Skyforger for the best thing from this incarnation of the band. This is about as close to bliss as a metal record with death growls gets.

This historical market takes its name from the 16th-century orphanage that used to occupy the site; the red of the children's clothes indicated that they had been donated by Christian charities. Although the orphanage closed before the revolution, the imposing wooden edifice remained, and was reopened as a deluxe food market in 2000 after extensive campaigning from locals. Now something of a touristic hotspot, the market is equipped to fill the emptiest of stomachs (while emptying the fullest of wallets) with its impressive range of Italian, Lebanese, African, Japanese and other stalls. If a snappy takeaway meal doesn't satisfy you, there are plenty of artisanal and organic food stalls to fill a few hours of shopping time. One of the more atmospheric of Paris's food markets.
Un endroit sympathique quoique un peu surfait et (trop) bondé le week-end. Cela vaut quand même le détour, car lieu unique dans la capitale. Au cas où vous souhaiteriez vous faire servir, avancer les yeux fermés dans le seul restaurant du marché : un peu onéreux mais produits de très bonne qualité.
Quite expensive but a nice hidden spot for eating or buying something good.
Love this place - you will want to do several circles around it before deciding on anything. Serious possibility for food envy!
Le Marché des Enfants Rouges, a true wild strawberry spot! Olive oil on an organic ciabatta. Caramelized onions. Mushrooms and freshly sliced avocado. Lightly smoked organic beef and cantal. That is the Recipe of the most delicious sandwich I have ever eaten in my life. It is also the most expensive take-away sandwich I ever bought, 7€. And, it is the longest I ever had to wait in line for a sandwich, or for any "fast-food" take-away for that matter, 50 min! On a positive note I had time to do all my emails, get updated on the latest happenings on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pin-it and get ridiculously hungry. And as my daddy always say "hunger is the best seasoning" The sandwich guy, Edouard, a man in his 60's plays loud jazz music and keeps his stole open longer than anyone else on the market. "mjam mjam" he says laughing every five minutes or so whilst juggling orders in his own anti-stressful pace. No reason to hurry-up, Edouard knows his got the best sandwiches in the city and no one no matter how hungry they might be will leave the line. Created in 1615, Le Marché des Enfants Rouges is the oldest remaining market in Paris. "The Market of Red Children" was named after the former neighboring orphanage where its young habitants wore red close a symbol of charity. Simple wooden tables takes up most of the space in between the food-stalls. There are plenty of seats for everyone, but don't expect to find a secluded spot all for yourself this market is all about sharing. Fresh produce, and simply delicious food. Edouard also makes the best crêpes in Paris. I would personally recommend the sucre-citron. Organic flour homemade dough, lemon zest and juice + sugar = a delight.

\section{Introduction}
\label{sect1}

Characteristic feature of disordered organic materials is a
long range spatial correlation in the distribution of random
energies $U(\vec{r})$ of transport sites
\cite{Novikov:14573,Dunlap:542}. This particular feature stems
from two fundamental properties of typical organic glasses:
first, they have very low concentration of intrinsic free
carriers, and, second, organic glasses usually have high
concentration of dipoles and quad\-rupoles. Due to almost zero
concentration of free carriers and lack of screening such
molecules provide long range contribution to the overall
energetic disorder for charge carriers. Long range sources
inevitably lead to the strong spatial correlation of the
resulting random energy landscape. Experimental data and
realistic models of organic glasses suggest that the density of
states usually has a Gaussian form
 with typical rms disorder $\sigma\simeq
0.1$ eV \cite{Bassler:15,Dieckmann:8136,Novikov:877e}. Hence,
the only relevant characteristic of the random energy
$U(\vec{r})$ is the binary correlation function $C(\vec{r}) =
\left<U(\vec{r})U(0)\right>$. Exact solution of the 1D
transport model shows that this function directly dictates a
functional form of the drift mobility field dependence $\mu(E)$
\cite{Dunlap:542}. For this reason organic glasses with
different $C(\vec{r})$ must have different mobility field
dependences.

For example, if correlation function decays as a power law
\begin{equation}
C(\vec{r})=A\sigma^2\left(\frac{a}{r}\right)^n
\label{Cn}
\end{equation}
(here $a$ is a minimal distance between transport sites), then
the 1D transport model gives in the most important case of
strong disorder $\sigma\beta\gg 1$ \cite{Novikov:2532}
\begin{equation}
\ln\mu/\mu_0\approx-2\alpha
a-\sigma^2\beta^2+\left(1+\frac{1}{n}\right)
\sigma\beta\left(An\sigma\beta\right)^{\frac{1}{n+1}}\left(\frac{eaE}{\sigma}\right)^{\frac{n}{n+1}},
\hskip10pt \beta=1/kT,
\label{1D}
\end{equation}
where $\alpha$ is a radius of the decay of the wave function of
the transport level. This particular case is of the utmost
importance, because in the simplest model of polar disordered
organic materials (the model of dipolar glass
\cite{Novikov:14573}) the correlation function decays as $1/r$,
and in the simplest model of nonpolar disordered organic
materials (the model of quadrupolar glass (QG)
\cite{Novikov:89}) $C(\vec{r})\propto 1/r^3$. Simplest
realizations of the models could be considered as regular
lattices with sites occupied by randomly oriented dipoles or
quadrupoles, respectively.

According to the result of the 1D model, in polar organic
materials the mobility field dependence should obey the law
$\ln\mu\propto E^{1/2}$, and in nonpolar materials the
dependence is $\ln\mu\propto E^{3/4}$. This result shows that
the earlier belief, promoted by the Gaussian Disorder Model
(GDM) \cite{Bassler:15}, that there is a universal mobility
field dependence in disordered organic materials is, in fact,
wrong. The GDM assumes that there is no spatial correlation in
the random energy landscape and corresponding mobility field
and temperature dependence could be formally considered as the
particular limiting case of (\ref{1D}) for $n\rightarrow
\infty$. 3D Monte Carlo simulation generally supports the
result of the simplified 1D model and typically only modifies
the numerical coefficients in (\ref{1D}) \cite{Novikov:4472}.

At the same time, experiment indicates that the universal
Poole-Frenkel (PF) mobility field dependence $\ln\mu\propto
E^{1/2}$ is usually a good approximation for the description of
the time-of-flight (TOF) data.  The major goal of this paper is
to present results of the extensive 3D Monte Carlo simulation
for the QG model and discuss how well they fit the TOF data for
charge transport in nonpolar organic materials, and how the
intrinsic mobility field dependence $\ln\mu\propto E^{3/4}$ can
be reconciled with the seemingly universal Poole-Frenkel
dependence $\ln\mu\propto E^{1/2}$, found in experiments.

\section{Quadrupolar glass model: transport simulations and results}
\label{sect3}

Simulations have been done for a lattice QG model with the size
of basic sample of $128\times 128\times 128$ sites of a simple
cubic lattice with the lattice scale $a$ and periodic boundary
conditions imposed. Particular distributions of $U(\vec{r})$
have been generated in the usual way. There  is no correlation
among the fluctuations in momentum space $U(\vec{k})$ for
different $\vec{k}$, so we generated random Gaussian field
$U(\vec{k})$ for the quadrupolar correlated function, which
with very good accuracy can be described by (\ref{Cn}) with
$n=3$ and $A\approx 0.5$ for $r\ge a$, and, of course,
$C(0)=\sigma^2$ \cite{Novikov:89}, and then calculated Fourier
transform to get $U(\vec{r})$. Carrier hopping has been
simulated using the Miller-Abrahams hopping rate
\begin{equation}
\Gamma_{i\rightarrow j}=\Gamma_0\exp\left(-2\alpha|\vec{r}_j-\vec{r}_i|\right)
\begin{cases}
\exp\left(-\frac{U_j-U_i}{kT}\right),& U_j > U_i,\\
1,&
U_j < U_i,
\end{cases}
\label{MA}
\end{equation}
which is believed to be a good approximation for the hopping
process in organic glasses \cite{Bassler:15}; we used $\alpha
a= 5$, as in \cite{Bassler:15,Novikov:4472}. In (\ref{MA})
random energies $U_i$ include the shift
 from the applied field $E$.

Details of the Monte Carlo simulation and analysis of the
transport data are almost identical to those described in
\cite{Novikov:4472}. General features of the current transients
are usual: if $\sigma\beta$ is not very large and the transport
layer not too thin, then a well defined plateau is developed,
demonstrating essentially quasi-equilibrium charge transport
with average carrier velocity independent of time. In the
quasi-equilibrium regime the dependence of $\mu$ on $T$ and $E$
is shown in Fig. \ref{fig4}. It was found that the general
field dependence of the quasi-equilibrium mobility closely
follows prediction of 1D model (i.e., $\ln\mu\propto E^{3/4}$),
though the numeric coefficients are different. A
phenomenological relation of $\mu$ on $T$ and $E$ could be
described as
\begin{equation}
\mu =\mu_0\exp\left(-2\alpha
a\right)\exp\left[-0.37\hat{\sigma}^2+C_Q\left(\hat{\sigma}^{5/4}-
\Gamma_Q\right)\left(eaE/\sigma\right)^{3/4}\right],\hskip10pt \hat{\sigma}=\sigma/kT,
\label{QGmu}
\end{equation}
with $C_Q\approx 0.87$ and $\Gamma_Q\approx 1.91$.

\begin{figure}[htb]

\caption{Mobility field dependence in the QG model for different
values of $kT/\sigma$ (from the top curve downward);
straight lines in (a)
indicate the fit for (\ref{QGmu}); $\mu_s=\mu_0\exp\left(-2\alpha
a\right)$. Plot of the simulation data
in the usual PF presentation $\ln\mu$ vs $E^{1/2}$ (b) demonstrates
much stronger deviation from the linearity in the weak field
region (straight lines serve as a guide for an eye). If $a\approx 1$ nm and $\sigma\approx 0.1$ eV,
then $eaE/\sigma\approx 1$ for $E=1\times 10^6$ V/cm.}
\label{fig4}
\end{figure}

\section{Quadrupolar glass: comparison with experimental data}

Close inspection of Fig.~\ref{fig5}b explains, why the
description of the mobility field dependence in nonpolar
materials in the usual PF presentation $\ln\mu$ vs. $E^{1/2}$
provides a good linear fit in many cases. Indeed, if field
range is not too wide (one order of magnitude or even more
narrow, which is typical for such materials
\cite{tapc,ena,ttb,Borsenberger:233}), then it is nearly
impossible to distinguish the true quadrupolar dependence
(\ref{QGmu}) from the PF one (see Fig. \ref{fig5}).

In this situation the use of the proper method of the mobility
calculation from the TOF curve is extremely important. There
are two most frequently used procedures for the calculation of
$\mu=L/Et$ from the TOF data in double linear current versus
time plot: 1) calculation that uses time $t_i$ determined by
the intersection of asymptotes to the plateau and trailing edge
of the transient and 2) calculation that uses time $t_{1/2}$
for current to reach half of its plateau value; here $L$ is a
thickness of the transport layer. Unfortunately, the first
method is a method of choice for most papers. One can find in
literature the statement that the difference between two
procedures is not very important for determination of the
temperature and field dependence of the mobility. This is not
true. Sometimes the first procedure distorts the functional
type of the mobility field dependence
\cite{Veres:377,Novikov:444}. Procedure that uses $t_{1/2}$ is
much more reliable and generally agrees well with the standard
definition of the mobility as $\mu=v/E$, where $v$ is an
average carrier velocity \cite{Novikov:444}. This very
procedure must be used for the reliable estimation of the
mobility field dependence.

  (\ref{QGmu}) and as a usual $\ln\mu$ vs $E^{1/2}$ PF plot.
 Straight lines show the best linear fits and numbers indicate
 the temperature. Both plots demonstrate approximately the same
 linearity. The experimental data has been taken from Figure 3 in
  \cite{Borsenberger:233}.}
\label{fig5}
\end{figure}

Let us discuss how good is the model of quadrupolar glass for
the description of the transport properties of nonpolar organic
materials. First of all, most transport molecules, polymer
binders or inert dopants do possess dipole moments, albeit
sometimes quite small ones. For example, in a typical nonpolar
polymer matrix, polysterene, a unit of the polymer chain has a
small dipole moment 0.4 D \cite{PS}. Hence, a more proper model
for many nonpolar glasses should be a mixture of the dipolar
and quadrupolar glasses. Unfortunately, such model should be
hardly tractable because the mobility field dependence is a
mixture of dipolar and quadrupolar contributions and individual
contributions cannot be easily separated even in the 1D case
\cite{mix}.

Second, there is another, more fundamental limitation for the
direct applicability of the QG model. In glasses there is no
translational order and, as a consequence, the symmetry is
broken. For this reason molecules could possess induced dipole
moments; for example, in symmetric PPVs, having no permanent
dipole moment, induced dipole moments could reach $\simeq 0.5$
D \cite{yaron}. Induced dipolar disorder is usually smaller
than the quadrupolar disorder, and yet for the weak field
region its contribution can be quite comparable to the
contribution of the dominant quadrupolar disorder
\cite{Novikov:2532}. In this situation no simple relation for
the mobility field dependence can be derived. Very probably,
the only tool suitable to provide the mobility field and
temperature dependence in this complicated situation is a
direct simulation of the materials structure with subsequent
calculation of all site energies and transfer integrals
\cite{nelson}.

\section{Conclusion}
We have shown that the field dependence of the mobility in
nonpolar organic materials differs from the corresponding
dependence in polar organic materials (Poole-Frenkel
dependence). Yet the difference is not very large and this is
the reason why the PF dependence usually fits well experimental
data for nonpolar materials too. Nonetheless, evaluation of the
disorder parameters (i.e., $\sigma$) for nonpolar materials
from the PF mobility dependence can give inaccurate results.

Online Shopping is rather latest thing nowadays. We purchase whatever from food to electronic gadgets online ameriwood futon. Nonetheless, when it pertains to purchasing a product like a bed mattress that we are also made use of to visit the shop as well as buy, we have the tendency to be hesitant occasionally. This can be rather warranted given that a bed mattress is a quite a significant buy as well as returning such an item could be an inconvenience if you occur making a mistake with your option. Right here are several of the important things that you should understand before you buy mattress online.
Are you looking for mattress sales to give your bed a brand-new life? Well, the mattress market is all about simple things stood for in rather ameriwood futoncomplicated way. It is excellent to recognize that mattress sales are getting more as well as more frequent. As a matter of fact, a few of the leading suppliers offer periodic deals on regular as well as limited time items. These mattress sales are appropriate for everybody. For vendors, these sales bring a whole lot of advertising and marketing as well as some quick capital. Whereas in customer's point of view – mattress sales include unrivaled savings and customers seeking budget items even, often locate it feasible to make a far better and quality purchase. Being a client and also especially the one that is out on a very crucial goal of purchasing a cushion ameriwood futon – you need to keep yourself stick to some principals. Always, think prior to you click the "order" button as today' s marketing tactics are sort of catches. Complying with are a few, basic guidelines for individuals that are concerning to acquire bed linens items.
Hundreds of research study' s have already concluded that rest is really essential to our physical and also emotional health and wellbeing. Thus, you have to be very careful while getting anything from mattress sales. Trusted names generally do not put their name as well as organisation at threat for generating more by marketing poor or outdated products.
Well, never ever purchase an inappropriate cushion even if it is being offered at a rate much minimal compared to its normal price. Continue as well as leave this set for others. As a specific every person discovers from his/her experience. In situation if you are not still sure about just what is going to work much better for you compared to you could always opt for FREE ameriwood futonassessment possibilities being supplied occasionally. Those who currently are struggling with sleep conditions or are dealing with chronic pains should always consult with their orthopedic or a professional as a simple change in your rest equipment or sleep behaviors often could bring wonderful alleviation. As an instance take into consideration soft mattresses. These kind of cushions matches those who prefer to sleep on their sides. Hundreds of vendors are manufacturing as well as marketing strong bed mattress on the market. These cushions are understood to be much better for sleepers that such as to rest on their back or stomach.
Again, you have to deal really thoroughly below as it is a matter of your rest or insomnia. Attempting something brand-new for a pair of days and particularly when items are offered with complimentary tests, is not a bad idea.
Well, by kind we can categorize them into 3 different teams. The memory foam cushion begins the top as they are the most prominent ones. These cushions offer a lengthy lifespan, they are readily available at an affordable price, and also their longevity ratings are way better compared to their equivalents. ameriwood futon The 2nd sort of bed mattress we desire to state here is called Latex Foam. They are likewise incredibly popular in offline and also online markets. You could locate latex foam's all-natural and also synthetic versions. For the most parts, they come consisting of on a poly foam base whereas their core includes multiple latex layers to give sleepers with even more comfort. Right here comes the 3rd and also the last main kind of mattresses. You could call it either innerspring mattress or springtime mattress directly. These were typical in the USA and Europe. The innerspring cushions come geared up with mechanical springtimes to supply the consumer with kind of a lift. Today's generation has actually begun disliking innerspring cushions. All of us recognize, our routines are changing with the flow of time. Being constituents of an internet-based society, we now have brand-new concerns to resolve, and also our lifestyle is bringing changes in our sleep routines.
Currently that you recognize getting a bed mattress online will certainly not make you regret at the end, allow's see the things you can do it make your decision as better as feasible. There are cushions which are much better for back sleepers compared to side sleepers. Know exactly what you are going for, and then begin searching for the bed mattress that would match all your requirements.
As mentioned over as well, one of the most significant benefits of on-line purchasing is the accessibility to thousands of individual testimonials. ameriwood futon There are unusual chances that a product is a whole lot much better compared to just what it has actually been explained by the users, yet many of the time if the reviews are legitimate, it would certainly offer you a wonderful understanding into the experience of making use of the mattress that you could not obtain from anywhere else.
Online Shopping is rather the rage nowadays. We purchase whatever from food to digital tools online ameriwood futon. However, when it pertains to buying an item like a mattress that we are too used to going to the store and get, we have the tendency to be hesitant occasionally. This could be rather warranted given that a bed mattress is a rather a considerable buy as well as returning such a product can be a problem if you take place to earn a blunder with your selection. Here are a few of the important things that you need to recognize before you buy mattress online.
Are you looking for mattress sales to give your bed a brand-new life? It is great to recognize that mattress sales are getting more and also more regular. Whereas in customer's viewpoint – mattress sales come with unparalleled cost savings and also customers seeking budget items also, occasionally discover it feasible to make a better as well as high quality purchase.
In our sight, it is not a good idea to wind up with an inferior purchase for saving some bucks. Besides, thousands of study' s have already wrapped up that rest is vitally important to our physical and also emotional health as well as wellbeing. Hence, you need to be extremely mindful while buying anything from mattress sales. Luckily talking, there is no brain surgery included in any way. Maintain on your own stick with the trusted vendors either online or on the standard market, as well as that's all. Relied on names generally do not put their name as well as company at danger for yielding even more by offering poor or out-of-date items.
Well, never ever acquire an inappropriate cushion simply since it is being provided at a rate a lot minimal than its normal rate. Continue and also leave this for others. As a private every person finds out from his/her experience. In situation if you are not still certain regarding just what is going to work far better for you compared to you could always go for FREE ameriwood futonexamination chances being supplied occasionally.
