Rebranding is hard work. But, as a rule, small businesses that are progressive enough—and brave enough—to reinvent themselves emerge stronger and more successful than those that don't. Of course, working with a team of rebranding experts makes the process go more smoothly and increases the chances of success.
Rebranding a business is no easy task. In fact, it takes a series of intricate steps to transform a company from its old persona to its new identity. Although the process is time-consuming and requires extreme dedication, once a rebranding expedition is completed, companies tend to wish that they had taken the plunge years earlier.
Starting or growing a business is an exciting, frustrating, rewarding and arduous experience. So, it's understandable why many small business brands need help. After exhausting financial resources to get everything up and running, branding becomes an afterthought for many small business owners. Most businesses quickly have a logo thrown together, typically choosing the cheapest option. Then, this "design" becomes the foundation of the brand.

… will get you, my pretty, and your little dog too!
One of Mrs. Salad's picks. She's from the scene of the crime itself, Fall River, Massachusetts. Although it happened well before she was born (good alibi, honey!) and in a swankier part of town than hers. The movie's R rating is due to "violence and grisly images, nudity, a scene of sexuality and some language."
In case you haven't guessed, it's a retelling of the Lizzie Borden story. Which you probably know: Lizzie's father and stepmom axed to death, Lizzie acquitted at trial, no charges brought against anyone else.
So there's room for a considerable amount of theorizing as to the culprit, motive, and methods. One hint from the cast list: starlet Kristen Stewart plays the maid, Bridget, so it's safe to assume she's a major part of the yarn. Which, in this version is pretty sordid, and not complimentary to anyone involved.
It's kind of boring at the beginning, setting up the characters and their mostly toxic interactions. Lizzie and Bridget give each other a lot of hot, lingering, open-mouthed stares. ("OK, we get it!")

The Phony Campaign
2019-09-15 Update
We start this week with Michael Ramirez' Avengers-themed toon about Bernie's proposed eugenic scheme to fight climate change.
Yep. On to this week's standings! The Betfair bettors smiled once again on Elizabeth Warren, frowned upon Wheezy Joe, but most notably pretty much gave up on Kamala, sending her winning probability down below that of Andrew Yang.
As far as phoniness goes: although all candidates gained some hits over the week, President Bone Spurs continued to pull away from the pack.
WinProb
Donald Trump 44.6% +0.5% 7,200,000 +4,970,000
Bernie Sanders 7.0% -0.5% 946,000 +73,000
Joe Biden 11.7% -1.1% 922,000 +479,000
Pete Buttigieg 2.2% -0.3% 882,000 +164,000
Elizabeth Warren 18.4% +1.6% 394,000 +186,000
Kamala Harris 3.3% -1.7% 133,000 +19,000
Andrew Yang 3.5% -0.5% 52,400 +16,700
"WinProb" calculation described here. Google result counts are bogus.
The great Andrew Stiles wrote earlier in the week on the then-upcoming debate on ABC: Democratic Debate Preview: Why Your Candidate Is The Worst (Part 1) and (Part 2). Lots of red meat there, but let's look at what Andrew has to say about… oh, Bernie Sanders:
People who have spent their entire careers attacking rich people really don't like to be reminded of the fact that they are, in fact, rich. Michael Moore, for example. Bernie Sanders is no different. Earlier this year, the derelict senator who owns three houses and has railed against the prevalence of superfluous deodorant brands, snapped at a New York Times interviewer: "I wrote a best-selling book. If you write a best-selling book, you can be a millionaire, too."
Perhaps in response to Elizabeth Warren's shadow candidacy, Sanders has been ramping up his efforts to stand out from the Democratic field. After previously proposing to extend voting rights to convicted felons, including Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, Sanders recently endorsed population control as a means to combat climate change. He also praised China as the country that has "made more progress in addressing extreme poverty than any country in the history of civilization." Grandpa needs a nap.
How can this guy be losing?
The President, of course, rails against news he doesn't like. E.g., polls, specifically one from the WaPo and ABC:
....This is a phony suppression poll, meant to build up their Democrat partners. I haven't even started campaigning yet, and am constantly fighting Fake News like Russia, Russia, Russia. Look at North Carolina last night. Dan Bishop, down big in the Polls, WINS. Easier than 2016!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 11, 2019
From Vox: Trump is trying to discredit recent polls because he's losing in nearly all of them.
Wednesday, the president accused pollsters of conspiring with Democrats against him, discounted the polls, and argued respondents had been wrongly swayed by the press. He had particular animus for an ABC News-Washington Post poll that also drew his ire earlier in the week over its findings on the president's approval rating, referring to it as a "phony suppression poll, meant to build up their Democrat partners."
Trump does have a point: polls can be wrong. But there's no reason to assume they're wrong on purpose.
Jamil Smith watched the debate and concluded for Rolling Stone: Joe Biden Should Drop Out. Now Jamil is firmly on the left, and his characterizations are accordingly wacky. But he reproduces the answer Biden gave to the question "What responsibility do you think that Americans need to take to repair the legacy of slavery in our country?"…
Well, they have to deal with the — look, there's institutional segregation in this country. From the time I got involved, I started dealing with that. Redlining banks, making sure we are in a position where — look, you talk about education. I propose is we take the very poor schools, triple the amount of money we spend from $15 to $45 billion a year. Give every single teacher a raise to the $60,000 level.
Number two, make sure that we bring in to help the teachers deal with the problems that come from home. The problems that come from home, we have one school psychologist for every 1,500 kids in America today. It's crazy. The teachers are — I'm married to a teacher, my deceased wife is a teacher. They have every problem coming to them. Make sure that every single child does, in fact, have 3, 4 and 5-year-olds go to school. Not day care, school.
Social workers help parents deal with how to raise their children. It's not that they don't want to help, they don't know what to play the radio, make sure the television — excuse me, make sure you have the record player on at night, the — make sure that kids hear words, a kid coming from a very poor school — a very poor background will hear 4 million words fewer spoken by the time we get there.
MODERATOR: Thank you, Mr. Vice President.
Biden: No, I'm going to go like the rest of them do, twice over. Because here's the deal. The deal is that we've got this a little backwards. By the way, in Venezuela, we should be allowing people to come here from Venezuela. I know Maduro. I've confronted Maduro. You talk about the need to do something in Latin America. I'm the guy that came up with $740 million, to see to it those three countries, in fact, changed their system to people don't have to chance to leave. You're acting like we just discovered this yesterday. Thank you very much.
Yes. Make sure you have the record player on at night.
Part of me hopes for a Trump/Biden debate where they compete on who can give the less coherent answers.
Another part of me dreads that, for the good of the country.
But there's good news from Christian Schneider at the Bulwark: The Democrats are Blackmailing Themselves. That's about the ecology of "opposition research" firms who sell their dug-up dirt on Candidate X… to Candidate X himself!
But these days, such firms are on the wane, thanks to candidates who are self-incriminating via Google. Example:
The race's denouement took place last Thursday morning, when South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg suggested that people who drink from straws or eat hamburgers are "part of the problem" in America, comparing the climate change crisis to World War II and the Great Depression. (Naturally, it took Twitter users a nanosecond to exhume photos of Buttigieg drinking from straws and flipping a full grill of meat, presumably leaving a trail of eco-death in his wake.)
For comparison, the number of Americans who like cheeseburgers currently stands at 86 percent, slightly higher than the 4 percent of Democrats who prefer Pete Buttigieg.
As we've seen, Bernie's come out against motherhood. Julian Castro (as well as former candidate Kirsten Gillebrand) came out against the flag, at least the Betsy Ross version. Next week in the crosshairs: apple pie whose inventor will be shown to have once read Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird.
Ann Althouse notes another bit of debate dreadfulness, this time with Joe on the right side: "Let's be constitutional! We've got a Constitution!" — said Joe Biden, responding to Kamala Harris, who said....
"Well, I mean, I would just say, hey, Joe, instead of saying, no, we can't, let's say yes, we can."
I.e.: "Yes we can subvert the Constitution! The one I took an oath to 'support and defend'. Never mind that!"
Ann adds that "transcript cannot convey the feeling and expression" in Kamala's response. It was "awful", "lightweight", and "dismissive of constitutional law."
And at Reason, Jacob Sullum noticed the same: Kamala Harris Does Not Understand Why the Constitution Should Get in the Way of Her Gun Control Agenda.
Instead of explaining the legal basis for the "executive action" she has in mind, Harris made a weak joke: "Hey, Joe, instead of saying, 'No, we can't,' let's say, 'Yes, we can.'" Then she launched into a description of the casualties from mass shootings, adding, "The idea that we would wait for this Congress, which has just done nothing, to act, is just—it is overlooking the fact that every day in America, our babies are going to school to have drills, elementary, middle and high school students, where they are learning about how they have to hide in a closet or crouch in a corner if there is a mass shooter roaming the hallways of their school."
That is not an argument in favor of any particular gun control policy, let alone an argument for the president's authority to impose it unilaterally. "Let's be constitutional," Biden said. "We've got a Constitution." To which Harris replied, in effect, "Constitution, schmonstitution. Why should that get in the way of my agenda?" Even voters who tend to agree with Harris about gun control should be troubled by her blithe dismissal of the legal limits on the powers she would exercise as president.
Well, the voters seem to be turning against her. Unfortunately, I suspect, not for the right reasons.
But let us turn our phony attention to the (gulp!) Democrat front-runner. Peter Suderman, bless him, is being paid by Reason to keep track of her phoniness. For example: Elizabeth Warren Issues Misleading Claim That Three Industries Are Responsible for 70 Percent of Carbon Pollution.
Take, for example, her claim at last week's CNN town hall on climate change that 70 percent of airborne carbon pollution comes from three industries. Warren made this argument in response to a question about whether the government should tell people which lightbulbs they have to use.
"This is exactly what the fossil fuel industry hopes we're all talking about," she said. "They want to be able to stir up a lot of controversy around your lightbulbs, straws, and cheeseburgers when 70% of the pollution of the carbon that we're throwing into the air comes from three industries." Because this is 2019, Warren also posted the claim on Instagram.
Via Politifact, the "three industries" are…
Transportation. (Which, Peter notes, is more of an "activity" than an "industry".)
Electricity production. (Ditto.) And…
Industry. Yes, one of the three industries that account for 70% of carbon is "industry."
Politifact rated Warren's claim "half true". Showing, pretty much that they are totally in the bag for her.
But that's not all! At the (probably paywalled) WSJ, Phil Gramm and Mike Solon described Warren's Assault on Retiree Wealth.
As a retiree myself, I pricked up my ears at that.
Her "Accountable Capitalism Act" would wipe out the single greatest legal protection retirees currently enjoy—the requirement that corporate executives and fund managers act as fiduciaries on investors' behalf. To prevent union bosses, money managers or politicians from raiding pension funds, the 1974 Employee Retirement Income Security Act requires that a fiduciary shall manage a plan "solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries . . . for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to participants and their beneficiaries." The Securities and Exchange Commission imposes similar requirements on investment advisers, and state laws impose fiduciary responsibility on state-chartered corporations.
Sen. Warren would blow up these fiduciary-duty protections by rewriting the charter for every corporation with gross receipts of more than $1 billion. Every corporation, proprietorship, partnership and limited-liability company of that size would be forced to enroll as a federal corporation under a new set of rules. Under this new Warren charter, companies currently dedicated to their shareholders' interest would be reordered to serve the interests of numerous new "stakeholders," including "the workforce," "the community," "customers," "the local and global environment" and "community and societal factors."
Hm. My guess, which you should ignore: coming spike in gold prices.
And we've been pretty easy on Andrew Yang; Google (meaninglessly) considers him the least-phony credible candidate. But he comes in for a slap from Mark Krikorian at National Review: Do the 2020 Democratic Candidates Know Anything About Immigration Policy?.
Yang was the most likeable of the bunch on stage last night but, like so many people, he thinks that because his dad came from the old country, he knows all he needs to know about immigration. Following Elizabeth Warren's call to "expand legal immigration" (without offering any numbers, of course), Yang said, "I would return the level of legal immigration to the point it was under the Obama-Biden administration."
Unfortunately for Yang's narrative, legal immigration is at the level it was under the Obama-Biden administration. The number of people granted lawful permanent residence (green cards), which is what we mean by "legal immigration," averaged 1.06 million from Fiscal Year 2009 to 2016. The total for FY 2017 was 1.13 million, for 2018 was 1.1 million, and annualizing from the first quarter of FY 2019 yields a projected total of 1.03 million. Fluctuation within 100,000 is common (in 2013, the total was only 990,000), so the level is essentially unchanged. It could be that the green-card total will decline next year, because of the smaller number of refugees converting to green cards and, possibly, the new public charge rule leading to a reduction in the number of parents of adult U.S. citizens, but neither of these things has happened yet.
I'm wishy-washy on immigration, mainly because (1) I'm generally in favor but (2) also favor enforcing the laws, even stupid ones.

Over the past forty years inequality has steadily increased in the United States. Income and wealth are becoming ever more concentrated at the top of the distribution while the levels of wages, earnings and income for those in the middle and bottom of the distribution have stagnated or even fallen. The Opportunity Lab's Social Safety Net and Employment Initiative focuses on understanding the causes and consequences of these fundamental trends in our economy. We also examine the role of taxes and social safety net programs in magnifying or mitigating the rise in inequality. Led by Professors David Card and Hilary Hoynes, the Initiative concerns topics such as intergenerational mobility, the gender wage gap, and the role of employers in local and national labor markets. Other topics concern the preferences for redistribution, behavioral effects of taxation, the effect of affirmative action policies on economic outcomes, and long-run effects of early life exposure to social safety net policies.
Hoynes, Hilary. "The Success of the Earned Income Tax Credit." EconoFact Memo, 2017.
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) is a major anti-poverty program that benefits both children and adults. It is a program with wide bipartisan support since, by providing a tax credit to lower-income working families in a way that incentivizes work, it both promotes greater labor force participation and supports the working poor. It currently does not provide much support for individuals or households without children, but there has been bipartisan support in the past for an expansion of the program to provide greater benefits to this group as well.
Miller, Conrad. "When Work Moves: Job Suburbanization and Black Employment." Working paper, 2016.
This paper presents evidence that job suburbanization caused significant declines in black employment from 1970 to 2000. I document that blacks are substantially less likely than whites to work in suburban establishments, and this spatial segregation is stable over time despite widespread decentralization of population and jobs. This stable segregation suggests job suburbanization may limit labor market opportunities for blacks. Exploiting variation across metropolitan areas, I find that job suburbanization is associated with substantial declines in black (relative) employment rates, yet unrelated to other significant structural changes in the labor market. Instrumenting for suburbanization using highway infrastructure yields similar estimates.
Breza, Emily, Supreet Kaur, and Yogita Shamdasani "The Morale Effects of Pay Inequality." 2016. Working Paper, 2016.
The idea that worker utility is affected by co-worker wages has potentially broad labor market implications. In a month-long experiment with Indian manufacturing workers, we randomize whether co-workers within production units receive the same flat daily wage or different wages (according to baseline productivity rank). For a given absolute wage, pay inequality reduces output and attendance by 0.24 standard deviations and 12%, respectively. These effects strengthen in later weeks. Pay disparity also lowers co-workers' ability to cooperate in their self-interest. However, when workers can clearly observe productivity differences, pay inequality has no discernible effect on output, attendance, or group cohesion.

Card, David and Laura Giuliano. "Can Tracking Raise the Test Scores of High-Ability Minority Students?" Working paper, 2015.
We evaluate a tracking program in a large urban district where schools with at least one gifted fourth grader create a separate "gifted/high achiever" classroom. Most seats are filled by non-gifted "high achievers," ranked by previous-year test scores. We study the program's effects on the high achievers using (1) a rank-based regression discontinuity design, and (2) a between-school/cohort analysis. We find significant effects that are concentrated among black and Hispanic participants. Minorities gain 0.5 standard deviation units in fourth-grade reading and math scores, with persistent gains through sixth grade. We find no evidence of negative or positive spillovers on non-participants.
Mueller, Andreas, Jesse Rothstein, and Till M. von Wachter "Unemployment Insurance and Job Search in the Great Recession. Rothstein." Journal of Labor Economics, 2015.
Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) awards rise during recessions. If marginal applicants are able to work but unable to find jobs, countercyclical Unemployment Insurance (UI) benefit extensions may reduce SSDI uptake. Exploiting UI extensions in the Great Recession as a source of variation, we find no indication that expiration of UI benefits causes SSDI applications and can rule out effects of meaningful magnitude. A supplementary analysis finds little overlap between the two programs' recipient populations: only 28% of SSDI awardees had any labor force attachment in the prior calendar year, and of those, only 4% received UI.

CUHK Virtual Events on Non-invasive Prenatal Test, Greater Bay Area, & Agrochemicals
The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is committed to connecting with partners and friends to exchange knowledge, share experience, and build collaborations. The following are events which may be of interest:
The 6th Yen Kwo Yung Lecture in Life Sciences
30 March 2022 | 6:30pm–8:00pm (HK time) and 6 April 2022 | 2:00pm–3:30pm (HK time)
Speaker: Prof. Dennis Lo, Li Ka Shing Professor of Medicine & Associate Dean of Medicine (Research), CUHK
Known as 'the Father of Non-invasive Prenatal Testing', Prof. Dennis Lo is Li Ka Shing Professor of Medicine, Associate Dean of Medicine (Research), as well as Chairman of the Department of Chemical Pathology at CUHK. His research focuses on the biology and diagnostic applications of cell-free nucleic acids in plasma. In 1997, Prof. Lo discovered the presence of cell-free fetal DNA in maternal plasma which led to the development of non-invasive DNA-based prenatal testing, a significant breakthrough in the global scientific community and a test now widely used by millions of pregnant women every year. This achievement lays the foundation for developing non-invasive tests for cancer detection, including the screening of early-stage nasopharyngeal cancer.
New Asia College and the School of Life Sciences are honoured to present the 6th Yen Kwo Yung Lecture in Life Sciences featuring Prof. Dennis Lo who will give three lectures in March and April (two to be conducted in English). He will share with the public his research discoveries, applications of his technology, and their impact on clinical medicine.
'Translating Scientific Discoveries into Clinical Impact', 30 March (Conducted in English)
In this talk, Prof. Lo will discuss how he discovered the presence of cell-free fetal DNA in maternal blood and translated the discovery into a clinical test that is now adopted worldwide. He will share with the audience the challenges he met along the way and the synergy between scientific research and entrepreneurship. The talk will be moderated by Prof. Sun On Chan, Head of New Asia College, CUHK.
'Circulating DNA in Blood: Coming in All Sizes & Shapes', 6 April (Conducted in English)
Circulating cell-free DNA in plasma has enabled the development of non-invasive prenatal testing, cancer liquid biopsy, and non-invasive post-transplantation monitoring. Circulating DNA consists of fragments of DNA. The study of the details of the fragmentation process is now referred to as 'fragmentomics'. In this talk, Prof. Lo will discuss the journey through which his laboratory has contributed to unravelling some of the key understandings in fragmentomics and how they can be translated into a new generation of clinical tests. The talk will be moderated by Prof. Kam Bo Wong, Director of the School of Life Sciences, CUHK.
Bay Area Experience: Evidence-based Policy Webinar Series Limits to Hong Kong's Integration in the Greater Bay Area
25 March 2022 | 11:00am–12:15pm (HK time) | Zoom (English)

A U.S.-led coalition airstrike leveled a Syrian mosque today among other buildings used by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria to attack the Syrian Democratic Forces, Army Col. Rob Manning, the Pentagon director of press operations, told Pentagon reporters today.
While mosques are generally among those buildings that have protected status from targeting in wartime, Manning explained that this mosque lost its protected status when ISIS "deliberately" chose it as a command-and-control center.
"This is the second attack in a week where ISIS` misuse of a mosque violates the law of land warfare and made those mosques military targets," he said.
"Our in-depth monitoring of ISIS ... made us aware when only ISIS fighters would be present. We conduct inquiries into all credible allegations of civilian casualties," Manning said of the airstrike.
"We`re going to keep the pressure up on ISIS as we eliminate their physical caliphate," the colonel said.
"[ISIS is] nasty [and] brutal, and they certainly have no problem at all putting civilians at risk and jeopardizing the status of protected targets under the law of land warfare," he added.
Also today, two Navy warships transited the Taiwan Strait, the body of water between Taiwan and mainland China, Manning said.
The guided missile destroyer USS Curtis Wilbur and the guided missile cruiser USS Antietam conducted a routine transit of the strait in accordance with international law, Manning said.
"The ships` transit through the Taiwan Strait demonstrates the U.S. commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific," he said, noting the Defense Department will continue to fly, sail and operate wherever international law permits.
"I`m confident the Navy made all the appropriate coordination as they transited through international waters, which happen to be between Taiwan and mainland China," he said.


EDIT: It seems this is a more general problem than I first suspected. Thanks to the feedback below it has been traced to a commit in zlib.
This morning I found one of my guilty pleasures manaplus completely failed to work. It is an SDL MMORPG. In normal use, the game downloads sprite files as png data compressed in zip archives to ~/.local/share/mana/ and uses those to render scenes and characters for game play. With the zlib 1.2.11 upgrade, manaplus is completely unable to use any of the zipped png data.
I confirmed by downgrading zlib to 1.2.8 which was sufficient to restore normal functioning. I've repeated the downgrade-upgrade cycle many times with both the manaplus package from community as well as manaplus-git from the AUR. Every version works fine with zlib 1.2.8 but they all fail with zlib 1.2.11.
I've been talking to the manaplus developer (4144) who has helped gather some logs, but to the best of his ability to assess, the problem lies with a dependency of manaplus that needs to be rebuilt against the new zlib. Manaplus is an SDL game using sdl_image, physfs, and libpng as the most likely candidate problems. It seems none of these have been rebuilt since the zlib upgrade. 4144 pushed better physfs logging to git to diagnose this further. I rebuilt manaplus and got a new log file, but the physfs logging didn't provide any new information and - based on 4144's interpretation - may have ruled out physfs as the problem.
I rebuilt curl, sdl_image, libxml2, physfs, and libpng from the ABS against the new zlib, but I have still been unable to restore functionality to manaplus with zlib 1.2.11.
It seems someone just flagged the manaplus package in the repo out of date - so at least one other user has noticed a problem. Unfortunately they don't know what "out of date" means as that is not the problem - a git build has the same problem. Instead there is a bug somewhere.
I'd like help assembling a better bug report. Specifically, should this be a manaplus bug, or is it downstream in sdl, sdl_image, physfs, libpng, or another in the dependency chain. I don't have any other software on my system that depends on sdl tools. If anyone can check whether other sdl software is having problems with compressed png data that would be a valuable data point.
WORKAROUND: I've gotten as far as I can get in tracking this, and the upstream developer does not use a current zlib so it will likely be quite a while until they face this issue. So for now I just copied the libz.so.1.2.8 from the old zlib into my home directory, and I just launch this game with `LD_PRELOAD=/path/to/old/libz.so.1.2.8 manaplus ...` While I'd rather have it work properly, this works quite well as it doesn't require holding back upgrades or rebuilding countless packages hoping one of them might fix the problem.
I also found a problem with the recent zlib and reverted to 1.2.8. My problem is in the Erlang dialyzer program which is in the community/erlang package. After the zlib update it can no longer read its PLT (sort of like a database) files and can no longer extract the data used to create them from pre-existing code modules. I submitted this report to the erlang bugs list but it is moderated and has not posted yet.
I have just installed the old package from my cache and added it to the IgnorePkg key for now in my pacman.conf.
I'm an Arch Linux user and picked up an update a few days ago that broke dialyzer. I bisected the last few days of updates and then narrowed the problem to zlib 1.2.10, which was released January 2nd. 1.2.11 was released on the 15th as an emergency bug fix and does not fix the problem. Reverting my system back to 1.2.8 (the previous version packaged for Arch) did resolve the issue.
It seems doubtful this is an Erlang problem, but I doubt I'm going to write a test program to demonstrate the problem to them. I thought I should at least report the issue in case others encounter it.
There are also errors when simply trying to do success typing analysis *using* any pre-existing PLT file, along lines of "this isn't a PLT file". The errors are not dependent upon the version of Erlang installed - at least anything I tried that was released on Arch in the 19.x branch will reproduce the problem.
Anyway, I hope this report helps someone and I would be curious if anyone else reproduces it, or especially if they fail to reproduce it.
Both packages depend on zlib via glu->libgl->mesa via llvm-libs, libelf, and wayland->libxml2.
I only had rebuilt libxml2 as that seemed a likely candidate as manaplus also stores a lot of data in xml files. But if these two problems are connected, perhaps anything in this shared dependency chain could need a rebuild. Unfortunately that would be *a lot* of compiling that would take far longer than reasonable on my old laptop.
I suspect several permutations of rebuilding different branches of the dependency tree would be necessary to pinpoint which package(s) in the repos currently really need the rebuild. Without knowing which packages need the rebuild it's hard to submit an actionable bug report.
EDIT: I suppose the shared libgl dependency might be a red-herring as the erlang symptoms don't seem to have anything to do with graphics handling: certainly not compressed png data which was the problem with manaplus.
I suspected it is a bug in zlib itself as they had an emergency fix in 1.2.11 for a bug introduced in 1.2.10, but looking at the changelog for 1.2.9 I see there were macro changes, define changes, etc. If it is not binary compatible I think they should have bumped to 1.3 but you may be right that a rebuild is necessary since everything was built against 1.2.8. If that is the issue then the only library requiring rebuild should be those that actually import zlib headers.
Michel Boaventura sent this to the Erlang-bugs list after reporting the same error I had.
I've done the bisect and find the culprit: https://github.com/madler/zlib/commit/b … 9014f7b282. Before this commit term_to_binary works and stop doing so afterwards. I will have a look at the changes and see if I can figure out what happened.
Thanks for the follow up. Good to know it's been pinpointed. I'll build zlib from before and after that commit and confirm that this is indeed the same problem I'm facing. If/when I confirm that I'll revise the title of this thread to more accurately capture the scope of the issue.
I was skeptical at first that this could be a zlib issue. Zlib is so widely used that I'd expect a bug in decompressing data in general would have wide-spread effects and would have been caught already.
EDIT: confirmed. A build from immediately before that commit works fine while that commit causes the SDL game to fail due to an inability to properly decompress png sprite data.
The plot thickens! Based on feedback from the zlib maintainer, an Erlang maintainer confirmed the zlib change exposed a latent bug that's been in Erlang for several years. The zlib change performs an additional check of its internal state, which is invalid due to Erlang doing a shallow memcopy.
Thanks, I subscribed to that issue now. It sounds like a similar latent bug may be present in sdl_image. (edit, physfs is again looking like the suspect).
I am developer of manaplus.
This is issue in libphysfs.
physfs mail list look like dead. This mean probably patch will be not added to physfs in near future.
Thanks. I've already applied your patch to my own physfs and it works great.
I'll see if we can get this applied to the physfs in our repos, and if not I'll submit a patched physfs to the AUR (the AUR serves a similar function as *buntu's PPAs if I understand PPAs correctly).
Trilby, I've assigned your ticket, but the maintainer has been totally inactive since May last year. Nobody else has touched the package, so there's not even anyone else I can add. Not a good situation, so don't expect much.
Edit: I also thought to add the manaplus maintainer, since this bug breaks it, but he's a TU and physfs is in Extra. No go.
Thanks for the update. In that case I'll submit a physfs-patched (alternative name suggestions welcome) for the AUR which provides/replaces physfs.
Erlang 19.2.3 was released for Arch on 2/17 and fixes this issue.
ManaPlus in git now not using physfs by default. All should works, but it not tested very long time.
This mean package manaplus-git should works without issues.
Next manaplus release will be by default without physfs support too.
Thanks. I just built from git and tested without physfs and all is well.
I just updated our AUR package (PKGBUILD) for manaplus-git to remove the physfs depdency. I also switched that PKGBUILD to sdl2 dependencies.

Home » Has the Link Between Business Goodwill and Profits Been Severed?
Has the Link Between Business Goodwill and Profits Been Severed?
By F. Gale Connor on January 20, 2017
Posted in Eminent Domain
When property is taken by eminent domain, the owner of a business operated on the property is entitled to compensation for any "business goodwill" lost due to the taking. Usually, "goodwill" translates into a business's profitability. However, earlier this week, the California Supreme Court denied review in People ex rel. Department of Transportation v. Presidio Performing Arts Foundation, C.A., 1st; A145278 which held that a business operating at a loss before the taking may be entitled to compensation for loss of goodwill where the taking renders it even more unprofitable.
Presidio Performing Arts Foundation ("Foundation"), operated a non-profit dance theatre in a leased building located in the Presidio of San Francisco. The California Department of Transportation ("CalTrans") moved to acquire, under threat of eminent domain, the building occupied by the Foundation for construction of the Doyle Drive Replacement Project. The Foundation was forced to relocate to a smaller, more expensive building in a less desirable location.
While CalTrans agreed to pay $107,000 for tenant improvements, that payment did not include anything for goodwill. Instead, CalTrans filed an action for declaratory relief, requesting a declaration that the Foundation could not establish entitlement to a claim for loss of goodwill. The Foundation responded by filing a cross-complaint seeking compensation for the taking of its goodwill. The trial court found that, although the Foundation demonstrated it had goodwill before the taking, it failed to prove a quantitative loss by calculating its pre-taking goodwill value and then subtracting from that amount its post-taking business goodwill value. The Court of Appeal reversed, opening the way for a jury trial on the amount of compensation due for lost goodwill.
The right to compensation for goodwill does not arise under the just compensation clause of the state or federal constitutions, but rather is created by statute. In enacting Code of Civil Procedure, section 1263.510, the Legislature defined "goodwill" as "the benefits that accrue to a business as a result of its location, reputation for dependability, skill or quality, in any other circumstances resulting in probable retention of old or acquisition of new patrons. (§1263.510(b)). As with any other element of just compensation, a business owner has the right to a jury determination on the amount of goodwill lost. (Redevelopment Agency of San Diego v. Attisha (2005) 128 Cal.App.4th 357, 367) However, this right attaches only if the owner first establishes, in a court trial, certain qualifying conditions for compensation. Those conditions, which are to be determined by the court, include proof of pre-existing business goodwill and a loss caused by the taking. (Section 1263.510(a); People ex rel. Dept. of Transportation v. Dry Canyon Enterprises, LLC (2012) 211 Cal.App.4th 486, 491).
The question confronted by the Presidio Performing Arts Foundation court was whether a business owner must quantify the lost goodwill in the entitlement phase. In answering this question, the Court first addressed the more ethereal question of: What is goodwill?
Goodwill has previously been defined as "the amount a willing buyer would pay for an ongoing concern above the book value of the assets." Redevelopment Agency of San Diego v. Attisha (2005) 128 Cal.App.4th 357, 367. Put another way, "it is the present value of anticipated profits" (People ex rel. Dept. of Transportation v. Muller (1984) 36 Cal.3d 263, 271) Thus, for purposes of establishing the existence of goodwill, a business owner typically demonstrates that, before the taking, the business generated profits beyond what its other assets would indicate.
Here, the Foundation generated no profits. Indeed, it had a negative annual cash flow of approximately $14,000.00. After its relocation, the amount of its shortfall increased to approximately $62,513.00. The Foundation's appraiser attributed this increased shortfall entirely to loss of goodwill. He made no effort to value goodwill in the before-condition. Instead, he observed that the business enjoyed a favorable location, with below market rent, and a good reputation for the services it provided. These facts were, in his opinion, "indicators" of the existence of business goodwill. Since there was no change to the Foundation's tangible assets at the relocation site, the increased annual shortfall must be attributable to lost goodwill. He then measured the loss by capitalizing the $62,513.00 and reducing that sum to present value to arrive at a total goodwill loss of $781,000.00. (Presidio Performing Arts Foundation, supra, at p. 3)
In approving of this methodology, the Court rejected CalTrans' argument that loss of goodwill must be measured by comparing the value of goodwill before condemnation with its value after the taking. However, the Court went one step further. It uncoupled the link between goodwill and profits.
In Dry Canyon Enterprises, the Second Appellate District concluded that goodwill almost always translates into a business' profitability. "Goodwill is the amount by which a business' overall value exceeds the value of its constituent assets…" (Dry Canyon, supra, 211 Cal.App.4th at 493-494). By contrast, the Presidio Performing Arts Foundation Court held that "nowhere in the statutory language is there a pre-condition that this compensation is available only to businesses that, before the taking, had a total business value in excess of its tangible assets, or profits in excess of a fair rate of return on its total assets." (Id. at p. 12) Therefore, by extension, a "business operating at a loss before a taking may not be able to demonstrate pre-taking goodwill value, but that does not mean that the benefits it enjoyed from its location reputation have not been adversely effected by the taking. Nothing in the statute suggests compensation should be given to a business that was profitable but became less profitable, but deny compensation to a business that was unprofitable and became even more unprofitable. To do so would preclude recovery to those least likely to afford the loss of goodwill benefits due to a taking." (Id.)
It is tempting to conclude that the capitalization of negative cash flow approach will be applied only to nonprofits which, by necessity, dedicate any excess cash flows to their nonprofit purposes. However, the broad language of Presidio Performing Arts Foundation suggests that the court did not intend for its holding to be so limited.

Biggleswade Town entertained Wellingborough Town in the FA Youth Cup on a deceptively chilly Bedfordshire evening yesterday. It wasn't a game full of goalmouth incident in front of a crowd of 47 as both sides struggled to create any real chances during the first half until around 40 minutes when the match sprang into life with the home side scored two goals in quick succession to go in at the break 2-0 up. The Doughboys had their best chance shortly after the second goal when in front of goal their player wasn't able to get a shot on target and the ball was put over the bar.
The Waders travel to St Albans City in the Third Qualifying Round. Most of the Second Qualifying Round games have been played but there are a few left with an interesting East London derby on this forthcoming Monday evening when Tower Hamlets play Leyton Orient.
Below are both goals scored by Biggleswade Town and that chance by Wellingborough Town just prior to half-time.

→ Download and include jQuery.
→ Download and include jQuery UI.
→ Create the Pages using
.
→ Create the Navigational Links using
.
→ Style the Pages and Navigational Buttons.
→ Customize the jQuery Code for the Parallax Scrolling Effect.
There's an alternate way to include jQuery Library on the webpage without downloading jQuery file.
jQuery UI provides a comprehensive set of core interaction plugins, UI widgets and visual effects that use a jQuery-style, event-driven architecture and a focus on web standards, accessiblity, flexible styling, and user-friendly design. All plugins are tested for compatibility in IE 6.0+, Firefox 3+, Safari 3.1+, Opera 9.6+, and Google Chrome.
Both versions can be downloaded from › jQueryui.com ‹.
We will have to include jQuery Ui inside the  tags.
First we will create the Page Container Div
.
This Page Container will contain another
, which contains all the pages is separate
.
In this example we will make three Separate Pages Home, About and Contact Us page.
Each Page is contained inside a separate
.
Here the Home Page
 is placed first, then the About Us Page and then Contact Us Page. This order must be same as the Navigation links which we will create in the next Step.
The Parallax Scrolling Effect will be executed when we click on these links.
These links are created using
 tags, with each
 having same class="link" and separate id's.
Here we have created a
 that contains the Navigational Link
.
We will use id="menu" later for positioning the Navigational Links later using CSS Stylesheet.
The id's will be numerical values which denotes the Page number.
Here the Home Page link has id="1". When clicked on this link, the first
 will scroll into view.
The Links have two classes separated by space.
The first class is the "link" and the second class is "Hex Color Code". The class="link" is compulsory, required for the Parallax scrolling.
The second class is the "Hex Color Code" which assigns the color to the background of the Page ( tag ).
The First link Home has another class="active" which highlights the link. When clicked on another link this class="active" will be assigned to it. Which makes the Active link highlighted.
For the Parallax effect we need to position the pages one after another to view each page one by one.
For arranging the pages side by side we will use the CSS float:left property.
After arranging the Pages we need to hide the other two pages when one page is viewed.
For this we will have to create a mask that allows us to see only that content which is inside the mask.
Here we will use
 as the mask .
For the masking effect we will use the overflow:hidden CSS property for id="container".
For the scrolling effect we will scroll the pages with respect the
.
For this we will use the position:relative CSS property for
 and position:absolute for the
 containig all pages with
.
This way only the Pages
 will scroll with all the
 inside it.
We have also used the background CSS property for the  tag to fill it with background.
This code will take the check the id for the "Page no" and the last six characters of the class for the "Page Background Color".
This code will also highlight the clicked link by assigning class="active" to the clicked link.
For the Parallax Scrolling Effect we will use the jQuery's animate property to animate the
.
→ This is a On Click listener for the class="link".
→ This statement will fetch the value of the attribute id from the clicked link.
→ This value is then assigned to the variable page.
→ This value will be used for scrolling to the respective page.
→ This statement will fetch the value of the attribute class from the clicked link.
→ The value will then be assigned to the variable color.
→ This statement will extract the last six characters from the variable color using substr function.
→ This way we can get the "Hex Color Code" for the  Background Color.
→ This statement will animate the <div id="all_pages".
→ Here page is the variable which we defined earlier on line 6.
→ This statement will set the Background Color to the  .
→ Here color is the variable which we defined earlier on line 7 and 8.
→ The Background Color won't change unless we include the jQuery UI script in our webpage.
→ This statement will remove the class="active" from the Navigational Menu Items.
→ This statement will assign class="active" to the clicked link.
This is a jQuery content slider using the parallax-effect. You can create as many layers and sublayers as you want. You can use images or any other HTML elements, including Flash movies as layers. The script is very user-friendly, you can add global settings or local (per slide) settings to each layer or sublayer. You can change delay times, easing types, durations and much more.

High Ropes Course & Climbing
Via ferrata "Heini Holzer" - Ivigna
The 500 m long climb is perfectly secured with 1000 m of steel cable, is rated at medium difficulty (A - B – in some places B/C) and is suitable for the less strong alpinists or for families with enthusiastic young climbers (10 years and older). An early start, alpine experience and a good overall physical condition is a prerequisite for the ascent of the climbing route. Along the ascent, there is no water and no escape routes. A withdrawal is possible only by down-climbing. The via ferrata is fully secured with a steel cable and no passages have to be dealt with in unsecured terrain or by free climbing. Many steep and difficult sections have been mitigated with steel clamps, which function as steps. Nevertheless, the last part of the via ferrata, the so-called Angel's edge, presents a very impressive rock passage. The orientation of the via ferrata to the southwest allows for an early ascent of the route, and the climbing season extends well into late autumn. The experienced mountaineer will even be able to access the Heini Holzer via ferrata during many winter months.
(Total climbing time: 3-4 hours)
Meran - Naif Valley. Ascend with the cable railway Meran 2000 to the top station, which can also be reached from Hafling - Falzeben with the gondola lift. Follow the wide road for a short distance to the junction with the sign for the via ferrata. Then turn left on the trail no. 18 (Ifinger Schartlweg - partially secured with steel rope). Proceed past two turnoffs to the signposted branch-off to the start, just below the easily recognizable platform (rope-up area).
(130 m ascent, 75 m descent, ¾-1 hour)
Scena - Taser cable car valley station. Ascend with the car. Proceed via the signs for the Ifinger Hut to the Ifinger notch and from there follow the Ifinger Schartlweg no. 18 (partially secured with steel rope) to the marked branch-off below the platform.
(700 m ascent, 200 m descent, 2½-3 hours)
Gsteier (middle station of the cable railway Meran 2000 - a short ascent to Gsteier). Follow the route no. 3 to the Ochsenboden. Continue to the Ifinger Schartlweg (no. 18 - partly secured with steel rope). From there turn left to the signposted branch-off to the start, just below the easily recognizable platform.
(850 m ascent, 3-3½ hours)
From the exit, follow the signs to the junction "Kleiner Ifinger" (2552 m) and "Großer Ifinger" (2581 m). From there, the descent starts down to the clearly visible Kuhleitenhütte. Anyone who is late, or who does not want to stop at the hut, can follow a trail shortly before, which slips to the right and leads back down through the grass slope to the wide road (gravel road) which returns to the starting point.
(500 m descent, 1-1½ hours)
Due to the nature of the new via ferrata, the climb can be a bit of an adventure for less experienced mountaineers as well as mountaineering families with children who like walking and climbing. The minimum recommended height is 1.50 m.
