Grandparents are tied up and robbed by group of five armed men 'wearing body armor' during terrifying home invasion in Texas – as their daughter escaped with her baby out of a window
A group of five armed men wearing body armor kicked in the door of a home on Cincinnati Avenue, in San Antonio, early Tuesday and zip-tied two grandparents
The men reportedly began shouting 'Where's the drugs, where's the money?'
They then ransacked the home but found no drugs, San Antonio PD said
The group then stole a TV, the victims' cell phones and some cash before fleeing
The victim's daughter and grandaughter were at home but fled out of a window
SAPD did not say why the home was targeted and an investigation continues

Two grandparents were bound and robbed by a group of five armed men during a home invasion in San Antonio early Tuesday, while their daughter managed to escape the terrifying ordeal with her baby by fleeing out of a window.
The incident occurred just after 2:20 am at a home in the 2400 block of Cincinnati Avenue, near to North General McMullen Drive, on the west side of the city.
Police say the five male assailants, who were all wearing body armor and holding weapons, kicked in the front door of the home as the victims were sleeping.
The men immediately went into the grandparents' bedroom and used zip ties to restrain them, News4 reported.
They then reportedly began shouting, 'Where is the drugs? Where is the cash?' at the victims, who were not named.
Two grandparents were tied up and robbed during a home invasion in San Antonio in the early hours of Tuesday morning
One of the victims is shown above, with a zip tie still visible around one of his wrists
The group ransacked the home but found no drugs, police said. Instead, they stole the victim's cell phones, TV and an undisclosed amount of cash.
Police say the men also demanded the titles to the man and woman's vehicles.
The men then fled the scene and police were called. There was no sign of the suspects once officers arrived.
Investigators say they're still working to determine whether anything else was stolen from the home.
The victims' daughter and granddaughter were also in the home at the time of the break in.
After hearing a commotion, the daughter grabbed her baby and fled the one-story residence out of a window.
The group of men had been demanding 'cash and drugs' from the homeowners, but found no drugs on the premises
The victims' daughter and granddaughter were sleeping in the home (above) at the time. She managed to grab her child and flee out of a window
No injuries were reported in the ordeal, but the victims are said to have been left incredibly shaken up.
The San Antonio Police Department did not say why the home was targeted. They also did not offer a description of the men, but said they were all dressed in black.
So far, no arrests have been made in the investigation, which remains ongoing.
The San Antonio Police Department has not yet returned a DailyMail.com request for further comment.

Today's Tasks: Use the commission calculator to determine how much money you would be making as a Silver Executive and what you would need to do become Silver in six months.
A little while ago I heard a presentation that another consultant did. In her presentation she spoke about how fast she had hit the rank advancements, and what a powerful boost it was to her business to hit them quickly. In fact from the day she signed up to the day she became a Silver Executive was 6 months.
What she said really resonated with me. My story is a little different. I did not become a consultant and then have amazing success. I became a consultant and was really excited and then two people came to my party, my single brother and my next door neighbor. That was it. Neither was really interested, neither scheduled a party. It was heartbreaking. After the astounding failure of that party my kind sister in law hosted a party for me. One person came. Yup I was off to stardom. I worked for several months before I had a break through and had a couple of successful parties. As soon as I had that breakthrough my business took off. I hit mentor, director, executive, and silver executive; within 6 months.
And that's what I want for you. I want your business to be wildly successful. I want you to have so many people wanting to be consultants and wanting to host parties that you have a hard time keeping track of everyone.
Looking back I could have had my break through much earlier. But I made two major mistakes. Today we are going to talk about the first mistake and we'll talk about the second mistake a little later.
I didn't understand the commission plan and what it meant for my business.
I'll let you in on a little secret: I'm bad at math (oh, and spelling too). My enroller explained the commission plan to me 3 times before I even sort of understood how it worked.
Not taking the time to understand the commission plan right at the start was a huge mistake. The biggest mistake I made.
Once I understood how consultants got paid I was able to understand how to best spend my time in building my business.
Today we are going to focus on the commission plan. You are going to download the commission calculator, and figure out what you need to do to become a Silver Executive. Since you are figuring this on the commission calculator, you will get to see what you will make as a Silver Executive (if you are already silver figure it out for Platinum).
To download the commission calculator click here. You can also find this on the website by going to consultant materials → training → Commission Calculator.
The commission calculator is an Excel document. If you don't have Excel on your computer you may have trouble opening it.
When using the calculator you fill in the yellow highlighted squares ONLY. It is set to calculate the values automatically.
The first yellow column on the left is labeled YOU. This is because everything in this column is what you are doing. Your down line numbers go in the right hand column.
On the average # sales/ party I find it easiest to put in 1 sale and then in the Average $/Sale I like to put in my party total.
Rank Advancement Chart: You will need this to figure out what you need to hit each rank.
You can view and print the Day 2 worksheet as a Google Document PDF.
This video will walk you through how to use the commission calculator. Be sure to watch it full screen so you can see the numbers.
· Download the commission calculator.
· Enter each of the scenarios below into the calculator. Record the totals.
· Decided how you are going to spend your time and write it down.
· Remember your goal is to figure out how you can hit Silver Executive in 6 months.
# of consultants on level 1?
How am I going to spend my time?
When you have finished come back and post a comment telling up what you learned.
Thank you so much for doing this! I have been a consultant for 1 1/2 years now. I have had good months and bad months. Just like everyone. My problem is that my husband is a truck driver and gone all the time. He is trying to transfer into the shop so he will be home every day. My oldest can watch my kids while I do parties but she is so burned out I hate having her watch them. I do no more than 2 parties a week when I have them. For me to hire a baby it really adds up. What tips do you have? Like I said, once my husband is home every night he will watch the kids. but that will be another 2 months.
Jamie, it sounds like for the next 2 months you need to have fewer parties. So make sure you prep your host so that the parties are awesome. If not currently coaching your hosts here are some strategies: 1. Within a week of scheduling a party arrange to meet with her (or talk on the phone) at the meeting talk to her about what she wants out of the party, have her bring her guest list with her, have her start a wish list, talk to her about letting people know through facebook and e-mail. 2. Follow up with her the week before, two days before, the day before, and the day of. 3. Make sure she understands how to take orders before the party. Give her a sample letter to e-mail to friends and family that might not be able to come. 4. After the party follow up with her and with the guests.
Be sure to spend your time at parties wisely. The Q is your most important sale. Take some time to practice your Q presentation (we will talk more about all of these ideas in later tasks). Once you have it down try videotaping yourself and then watch it.
Are you sending out e-mails about the sales to you current customers? Letting them know about the sales or events can really boost your sales--don't just forward them the flyer send them a short e-mail with a clickable links, prices, and why you like the product.
Use this time until your husband is home more often to really sharpen your skills. Become the expert on our products, on how the home party system works, on being a consultant and on training your team. That way once he is home you will be ready to explode.
Wow! Just Wow! Thank you thank you thank you. I signed up as a consultant, 7 months ago, had to have major surgery and now, I'm getting back on my feet and ready to rock this!

Comments: Champions League: Will Real Madrid retain title? Can PSG win? Are Barca flawed?
Celtic should pull out of this competition. A total embarrassment to Ireland. So much for the "Fightin' Irish !
Hmmm, I commented @46 saying Juve looked strong. Just watched an imperious display by Barca. Messi is on fire at the moment. hat-trick on Sunday and 2 goals and assist (well completely set up Rakatic) tonight. If he plays like that for the season, uninjured, then cant see many getting close to them.
According to studies, celtic have a four percent chance of qualifying..really?
I think 'zero' percent is closer to reality. The tic are mince, and it says everything about how low Scottish kick and rush has gone. Reasons for the demise of the game up there? Blame sits firmly in the hands of the wretched SFA and corrupt weegie mafia of the ugly sisters (you know who you are). RIP Scots footie.
Champions league group stages.....really what is the point?
The best thing about watching Celtic get taught a lesson is that they now know what is like to play against a team that costs x20 more and they're show boating. See you on Saturday in the SPL were you belong. Show a bit of respect to your league.
What's going on! PSG are 3-0 up against the greatest team with the greatest fans to ever walk the planet! How cam this be, someone call the Green Brigade or are they off at the moment protesting about why they're not allowed to protest.
There is an English player in the Chelsea team in tonights game !!! Wow.

NgAgo gene-editing controversy escalates
16 Dec Diagnostics
December 16, 2016 Diagnostics
Six months ago, Chinese researchers reported in Nature Biotechnology that an enzyme called NgAgo could be used to edit mammalian genes, and it could surpass even the might CRISPR/Cas9 for editing mammalian genes. But within days of publication other scientists complained that they could not replicate the experiment. A controversy is escalating over whether a gene-editing technique proposed as an alternative to the popular CRISPR–Cas9 system actually works. Now this argument has moved from digital to print, as a new paper published earlier this month in Protein & Cell lists multiple failed attempts to recreate gene-editing with NgAgo.
Now, a paper with 20 authors, published in Protein & Cell, lists multiple attempts that failed to replicate the original experiment, eight of the labs then tried again, adhering as closely as possible to Han's experiment, using genetic materials provided by Han, targeting the same genes and also applying the technique to human cells. They all failed.Another paper, published in Cell Research, suggests that NgAgo may only block, but not edit, genes when it is injected into zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos.
Han Chunyu, a biologist at Hebei University of Science and Technology in Shijiazhuang who first reported the NgAgo experiment, says he is standing by the original claims. He says that he hopes to submit a scientific paper explaining why others are having difficulty by the end of the year.
A spokesperson for Nature Biotechnology sent us this statement:
"Nature Biotechnology has carefully considered all comments relating to the original paper by Han and colleagues. As in all cases where a paper encounters criticisms after publication, we have undertaken a careful and thorough evaluation of these criticisms. Today, we are publishing not only a Correspondence by Cathomen and colleagues that may refute the main finding of efficient editing of an endogenous gene claimed in the original paper, but also an Editorial Expression of Concern alongside the original paper to ensure that readers are aware of the concerns raised by the paper by Cathomen and colleagues and a report published elsewhere in the literature . At this time, two authors of the original paper, Chunyu Han and Xiao Shen, agree with this Editorial Expression of Concern, whereas Feng Gao, Feng Jiang and Yongqiang Wu do not feel that it is appropriate. Nature Biotechnology believes that it is important for authors to be able to investigate the concerns raised by the Correspondence and to provide additional information and evidence to support their paper if they are able to do so. Thus, we will continue to liaise with the authors of the original paper to provide them with the opportunity to do that by January 2017. An update will be provided to the community at that time."
Does the new gene editing method NgAgo work or not? If not, what happened? Could CRISPR itself in the next few years become obsolete having been replaced by other new technologies such as the upstart NgAgo? Could CRISPR itself in the next few years become obsolete having been replaced by the upstart NgAgo? Let's see what the data from Han Chunyu and his colleagues in the January 2017.

Soon after you come home from the hospital, you should call to set up a checkup for your baby. This checkup may take place any time from two to four weeks after your baby is born. If your baby doesn't seem to be doing well before your first appointment, don't wait. Call the doctor or the clinic.
The checkup is a good time for you to ask questions. Before the visit, it is a good idea to write down questions and bring them with you.
You can ask the doctor what to have in the house in case of small accidents or mild illness. Ask what to do if something serious happens. Ask your doctor about what to do if your baby chokes or stops breathing. Knowing this can help you save your baby if he gets into difficulty.
The one-month checkup helps the doctor see changes in your baby. The doctor can find problems your baby is having. Finding problems now can help prevent more serious problems as your baby grows.
In the first year, your baby will have a number of checkups. At most of them, he will receive shots. Be sure to ask the doctor what reaction your baby might have from the shots.
Your doctor will talk to you about what to expect with your child. The doctor will tell you when your baby needs to come in again.
What happens at the checkup?
things are with you and the baby.
how often your baby has a wet or dirty diaper.
The doctor will ask about your baby's sleeping habits.
The doctor will ask about your baby's behavior and development.
Your doctor will give your baby a physical exam.
Your baby's clothes will be taken off.
He will be weighed. Your baby's length and head size will be measured.
Your baby's vision and hearing will be tested.
Your baby's blood will also be tested.

A: You are updating ui from a background thread which is not possible.
textview1.setText("No school found");

You need to update ui on the ui thread. Do it in onPostExecute
Return result of the background computation in doInbackground. The result of doInbackground computation is a param to onPostExecute. So based on the result update ui in onPostExecute.
You can also use runOnUiThread which is a method of activity class.
If your asynctask is not an inner class of your activity you can use interface
Can't post response from AsyncTask to MainActivity

A: You have to use runOnUiThead() like below in your worker thread :
mode = HomeMenu.mode;

runOnUiThread(new Runnable()
{
    public void run()
    {
        if (mode.equals(s2.toString()))
        {
            textview1.setText("No school found,.");
        }
        else
        {
            textview1.setText("No school found in " + School_name + ",.");
        }
    }
});

A: You are trying to update UI part in doInBackground() of AsyncTask which is not allowed directly
Check Following inside  parseJSONData() which is called from doInBackground()
 if (mode.equals(s2.toString())) {
        textview1.setText("No school found,.");
    } else {
        textview1.setText("No school found in "+ School_name+ ",.");
    }

if you are to update the UI part do same in onPostExecute() of AsyncTask

Das Seoul National University Gymnasium ist eine Sportstätte in Seoul in Südkorea. Die Multifunktionshalle befindet sich im Campus der Seoul National University in Gwanak-gu und wird heute für Sport- und Bildungszwecke von der Universität benutzt.

Geschichte
Die Sportstätte wurde für die Olympischen Sommerspiele 1988 in Südkorea errichtet und bereits 1986 fertiggestellt. In dieser Multifunktionshalle wurden bei Olympia 1988 die Tischtenniswettbewerbe und die Badmintonwettbewerbe ausgetragen. Letztere hatten jedoch nur den Status einer Vorführsportart und es wurden darum keine offiziellen Olympiasieger im Badminton ermittelt. Tischtennis dagegen war erstmals im olympischen Programm. Nach Olympia wird die Halle weiterhin als Sportstätte genutzt, unter anderem für die Korea Open im Badminton. Die Kapazität der Halle beträgt 5.000 Sitzplätze.

However, I forgot my headphones when I picked up my kids from my ex's house, which seriously messes getting the vocals to align at all reasonably with the music (it was just a blind guess).
Technically, I tried to use my custom software in a different way, with some mixed success. I almost had sheet music for this as a result, but I found a teensy little bug in my software which I need to fix to polish it out.
Oh, if only I could dance with you.
Instead of weeping here alone.
But now only my memories remain here.


Across Kenya, Uganda and Malawi, a small blue plastic box is helping millions to have longer, healthier and more productive lives. The simple yet ingenious innovation is a water purifying chlorine dispenser thatis installed next to communal water sources. Designed by Innovations for Poverty Action and researchers at Harvard and UC Berkley, Dispensers for Safe Water is providing access to clean and safe water to over 2.6 million people, with dispensers at 10,000 water points.
There is a strong need for this innovation. Almost 11% of the global population – 780 million people – are without safe drinking water, leaving them susceptible to harmful bacteria and waterborne diseases, such as cholera and diarrhoea. Diarrhoeal disease is the second leading cause of death in children under five. Across all ages, it kills 1.8 million a year, and it is fifth for years of life lost due to premature mortality. The Dispensers for Safe Water project works to avoid these preventable illnesses through an inexpensive, sustainable program.
The project, managed by Evidence Action, is simple yet highly effective. Water quality improvements at the household level are as effective as improving hygiene, sanitation or the water supply, but can be provided at a significantly lower cost. However, for these efforts to succeed, the household must be consistent and correct in how they treat the water, and avoid recontamination. This is why Dispensers for Safe Water is providing metered doses of chlorine – chlorine kills 99.99% of harmful bacteria and reduces the incidence of diarrhoea by 40%. It purifies the water against recontamination for 24-72 hours, eliminating the risks from contact with unwashed containers or hands.
Determining the best means of distribution was essential. In Kenya, providing chlorine packets in retail stores, even at the low cost of $0.30 per month, led to regular use in less than 10% of households.  Instead, Dispensers for Safe Water eliminated user costs, recognizing that small fees raise little revenue while drastically reducing access. To further increase use, the dispensers are installed next to communal water sources, creating social pressure to conform and a constant reminder through the dispenser's physical presence.
A project's sustainability requires more than simply providing the product. It must be integrated into and accepted by the community. To ensure this, approval is first obtained from the community leaders, and the program ensures community engagement by training key stakeholders and welcoming everyone to the installation. Local promoters encourage use and educate on the dangers of contaminated water, in addition to ensuring a consistent supply of chlorine. Altogether, the program has had sustained adoption rates between 42% and 80%.
Dispensers for Safe Water is, according to Evidence Action, "one of the most cost-effective ways to reduce childhood diarrhoea."  It costs less than $0.50 per person annually, and none of these costs are passed on to the communities. Beyond donations and grants, Evidence Action's funding comes from carbon credit sales. By averting the use of firewood to boil water, they are reducing communities' carbon footprints. Third party carbon project experts verify their programs and sell carbon credits. The profits are then reinvested towards the long term sustainability of the program.
Recently, the project was the first to win Stage Three Funding with USAID's extremely competitive Development Innovation Venture (DIV), for a grant of $5.5 million. This will enable Evidence Action to scale the project to 25 million people by 2018. Dispensers for Safe Water has extraordinary potential to provide a resource that should be available to all – clean, safe water. Sometimes the simplest ideas are the most significant.

We had an infusion of new blood last night as three new actors and one new writer came to our meeting. Two of the actors, Alaina and Sam, were in my production of The Last Radio Show and I was thrilled they were there as they're both wonderful actors.
The third new actor, Marguerite, came on the recommendations of Mark and Lauren Arnest, two talented playwrights who've attended our meetings in the past. Marguerite is interested in playwriting but hasn't started anything yet. For now, she's just happy to hear the other plays and read when she can.
The new writer was Damon Smithwick, a published novelist who has been coming to our meetings off and on for several years. Fortunately, I was able to talk him into bringing his first play last night, and it was a lot of fun. But more on that later.
Overall, we had twelve people show, which was respectable, but I'd like to get more actors involved. We also had some of our liveliest discussions in months. It really helps to have only a few plays to discuss and a lot of actors to discuss them.
We opened with some new scenes from Tim Phillips' relationship comedy Seth and Tracy. In one scene, one woman dishes to another about her experience dating the protagonist, a self-centered jerk named Sharky who spends most of his time writing in bars. In another scene, an ex-friend of Sharky rants about the way he was treated by him. The audience thought that the dialogue was mostly realistic, but thought that the women were so competitive they sounded more like guys.
After that, we read Damon's short comedy, This Universe Ain't Big Enough for the Both of Us. It's about a physics professor who plans to murder his colleague after he learns the other guy has been sleeping with his wife. Some thought that their discussions about quantum consciousness and parallel universes should be dumbed down for the audience while others thought it worked perfectly. There was also some disagreement whether the protagonist should reveal his plan right away or save it for the end. The play ended with an ambiguous twist that everyone seemed to like.
We finished up with four scenes from my Frank Capra-inspired satire, Trouble in Paradise Junction. Here we saw the town being to fall apart as the reality show that's being filmed there has its insidious effect on the citizens. Although it is intentionally not as funny s my farces, most thought it was funny enough. There was a lot of discussion over a scene in which a family of tourists make fun of the townsfolk and whether this should be toned down. It was also pointed out that the characters are starting to sound too much alike.
Our next meeting is Monday, April 11. See you then!

As the year comes to a close, HEBS Digital and Serenata CRM celebrate the many accomplishments of 2018, as well as the team members who made them possible. In the last 12 months, both companies were industry leaders in helping hotels around the world pave the way to digital success. Both HEBS Digital and Serenata CRM launched new products, innovated existing technology, and received multiple industry awards and accolades for award-winning advertising and marketing campaigns.
Deepening the integration between HEBS Digital and Serenata CRM. After coming together under one parent company, NextGuest Technologies, HEBS Digital and Serenata CRM have continued to close the loop for clients with a fully-integrated guest engagement and acquisition platform. With the merging of HEBS Digital and Serenata CRM, the best technology in the hospitality industry is now under one roof.
Launching of new HEBS Digital products. One of the biggest products developed in 2018 was the Content Personalization Module 2.0 which is currently in beta and will be launching early 2019. Within the smartCMS®, this module captures real-time targeting data and lets hotels personalize their website content for specific audience segments. Additionally, new social media advertising platforms were introduced, such as Facebook Dynamic Ads for Travel, which retarget users whose online behavior suggests they are planning travel to specific destinations. Smart Search, currently in beta with a few clients, enables users to easily find relevant content on a hotel's website. Features include full-text indexing, type-ahead search, automated site-content indexing, and keyword highlighting in the search results.
GDPR: With the GDPR having taken effect in 2018, many updates were made to the CMS in regards to managing personal data on hotel websites. Security updates were made which added end to end security for all database connections, RFP module updated to adhere to GDPR, and a Consent Manager was added to the CMS.
Animated GIF Support: Having GIFs and videos on the website has been a big trend for a while. Whether your hotel has a lobby with a fireplace that you want to have flicker, or your hotel is on the beach and you want to show ripples of the water, you have the ability to make the website that much more engaging.
Pixel Manager Module: Let's say for example that you want to start a paid social campaign via Facebook retargeting, and you need to add the Facebook Pixel to the website. You would click to add a new one, then and populate the fields accordingly. Name, Description, copy + paste the pixel –all pretty straightforward. In addition, pixel instructions usually inform users on where to place it, so you would choose from the dropdown accordingly. Lastly, you will select the type of pixel it is –in this case, "Marketing".
FAQs Module: In the era of AI and voice search, having an expansive FAQ section on the website has increasing importance. Through SEO optimizations and schema, hotels will have the opportunity to have better SERP ranking for these types of long-tail keyword terms. This dedicated module will make content more intuitive to manage and offer more flexibility in regards to the layout of FAQ content.
Content & SEO Scraping Feature: Instead of having to manually copy and paste sections of text from an existing site, this feature will save time and energy as users can now simply click a few buttons and import page text and metadata all at once.
Automated Schema Markup: Schema helps search engines "understand" web pages and display search results – especially dynamic content elements such as events and happenings, opening hours, reviews and more. Its automatically generated to make web pages appear more prominently in SERPs which drastically increases visibility of hotel websites and improves click-through rates.
Continuing innovations to Serenata's CRM technology. 2018 was a year of technical innovations for Serenata CRM, focusing on the design of a next-generation CRM solution to be launched in 2019. The goal of this innovation is to unleash the capabilities of a CRM and guest intelligence platform to increase revenue generation and ROI for hotels. The next-generation innovations are focused on dramatically reducing data complexity while increasing automation of digital guest engagement for hotels. This will be achieved by a new, highly-customizable way of using big data and artificial intelligence to support active user guidance, campaigns, and action recommendations, which can be seamlessly converted into omnichannel marketing campaigns. Furthermore, Serenata has introduced a brand-new user interface that makes the CRM suite more intuitive and user-friendly. Ongoing growth of technology integrations continued to be a key focus in 2018. With protel and SIHOT, Serenata added two global PMS players to the integration portfolio. GDPR was another hot topic in the past year. Serenata CRM has built in additional functionality to allow hotels to master GDPR compliance with ease.
Heritage Hotels in New Zealand launched their new, multi-property website on the smartCMS® platform, allowing for full control of each of its 18 property's content in one place. The Destinations page includes an interactive map and details about each property's location. A custom Venue Showcase displays all relevant information for event planners to access.
Hard Rock Hotels launched their new multi-property website on the smartCMS® platform. The Destinations page catalogs hotel and casino locations, with filters by location, property type, and experience. The Experience page highlights experiential hotel programs, family-friendly experiences, and dining and nightlife.
The London West Hollywood website features a stunning video on the homepage, and a custom page honoring their official mascots, Winston & Churchill. HEBS Digital also created a mini-site for weddings.
Hotel El Ganzo is a unique property located in San Jose del Cabo that launched a new, custom site. A custom landing page was designed to house their arts and music experiences, including a cultural calendar, videos from the El Ganzo sessions, and a social feed that brings in fresh content from the #elganzomusic hashtag.
The Resort at Pedregal, a long-time HEBS Digital client, launched a brand-new website with several leading-edge features. From device to device, the fully-responsive site makes researching, planning, and booking travel as easy as possible — with features including 360-degree room tour integration and a custom booking widget. A newly-designed hotel blog also provides The Resort at Pedregal with a fresh platform for sharing content about the resort as well as exclusive and exciting destination activities.
The roll-out of 106 Shangri-la Hotels & Resorts across all their brands worldwide.
With MEININGER, Serenata was also able to unlock an entirely new business segment integrating a hybrid and disruptive hotel provider within the rapidly growing hostel segment. Serenata CRM is the first provider in the hospitality industry to adapt its CRM to the specific needs of the hostel business.
With Viceroy Hotels & Resorts, we will implement the Serenata CRM suite across all their hotels. In combination with the new website launch, Viceroy will be our first, fully-integrated guest engagement, acquisition, and marketing client.
HSMAI Adrian Awards: In 2018, HEBS Digital took home three Adrian Awards in recognition of innovative digital marketing campaigns and hotel websites. Shore Cliff Hotel was awarded a bronze for their website redesign, Loews Hotels and Co was awarded a bronze for their multi-property website redesign, and The Resort at Pedregal was awarded a silver for their summer multi-channel campaign. Mariana Safer, Senior Vice President of Client Success, was also recognized at the 2018 Adrian Awards gala as one of the Top 25 Most Extraordinary Minds in Hospitality Sales, Marketing, Revenue Optimization for 2017.
Travel Weekly Magellan Awards: HEBS Digital was honored with six awards in the Travel Weekly 2018 Magellan Awards including gold awards for AKA's website design and technology, Viceroy Hotel Group Cyber Monday Campaign, and Cheeca Lodge & Spa's Legend Lives on Campaign.
Stevie Awards: The smartCMS® was recognized with a bronze Stevie Award for the best New Product-Software in the Content Management Solution Category.
World Travel Awards: HEBS Digital was named the Leading Travel Merchandising Solution Provider in North America by the World Travel Awards.
World Travel Awards: After winning the World Travel Award (WTA) as the World's Leading Hospitality CRM Technology Provider in 2015, 2016 and 2017, Serenata CRM also won the WTA in 2018 for Asia's Leading Hotel CRM Technology Provider for the innovative CRM and Guest Communications solutions.
With a focus on content this year, HEBS Digital produced many thought-provoking whitepapers, eBooks, and articles. The quarterly whitepapers covered trending topics in hospitality digital marketing and guided hotels through new and innovative developments to be incorporated into their digital strategy.
Our eBook, From Dreaming to Booking: How to Capitalize on the Full Travel Planning Journey, takes an in-depth look at how travelers interact with digital moments differently depending on which phase they are in. As travel planners encounter more digital distractions and more research happens throughout the traveler's customer journey, being there for the most important digital micro-moments—during which preferences are shaped and decisions are made—is crucial to capturing the attention of potential guests and nurturing them through the path to a direct booking.
Additionally, we released two issues of our NextGuest Magazine. Issue #3 focuses on full-funnel marketing with tips on reaching guests at every stage of the travel planning journey. Issue #4 dives deeper into digital marketing strategies and the future of luxury travel.
In 2019, HEBS Digital and Serenata CRM will continue to focus on innovation. Serenata's focus will be the capture and use of user behavior data, audience building, and scoring. The goal is to capture guests at the beginning of their digital journey and leverage this data (as part of the guest profile) to significantly increase conversions from potential new customers. A KPI engine and dashboard solution that allows hotels to easily visualize big data and market trends, in combination with instantaneous execution into multi-channel marketing campaigns, is also on the roadmap in 2019.
HEBS Digital will also continue technology innovations and prioritize content personalization, as well as other features that, as always, increase direct bookings. Another focus will be on developing strategic content strategies for clients that include a holistic approach across hotel blogs, social media channels, and more. By capturing the upper-funnel users through content, hotels can better nurture qualified leads and convert these guests when they are ready to book.
Most importantly, HEBS Digital and Serenata CRM will continue to provide all of the tools hotels will need for a successful digital strategy to acquire, engage, and retain their best guests.

Q: Overriding the add method for ArrayList Question: I am trying to override the add method of ArrayList to remember the last three digits added to the arraylist. I am to then take these three values and find the maximum value among them.
It seems that I can not get my add method to save the three elements without an out of bounds error.
import java.util.ArrayList;

public class MaxThreeArrayList extends ArrayList<Integer> {

    MaxThreeArrayList maxlist = new MaxThreeArrayList();

    int third_last = 0;
    int second_last = 0;
    int last = 0;

        @Override public boolean add(Integer o){
            if (maxlist.size() == 1){
                last = maxlist.get(maxlist.size() - 1);
            }
            else if (maxlist.size() == 2){
                last = maxlist.get(maxlist.size() - 1);
                second_last =  maxlist.get(maxlist.size() - 2);

            }
            else if (maxlist.size() >= 3){
                last = maxlist.get(maxlist.size() - 1);
                second_last =  maxlist.get(maxlist.size() - 2);
                third_last =  maxlist.get(maxlist.size() - 3);
            }

            return super.add(o);
        }

        public int getMax(){
           int maximum = 0;
           if (third_last >= second_last){
              if (third_last >= last){
                  maximum = third_last;
              }
           }
           if (second_last >= third_last){
              if (second_last >= last){
                  maximum = second_last;
              }
           }
           if (last >= second_last){
              if (last >= third_last){
                  maximum = last;
              }
           }
           return maximum;
         }

    public static void main(String[] args) {

    }

}

A: I think you should separate your concerns. Your overridden add should only worry about remembering the last three things you add to the list. This can be accomplished pretty easy with a deque. The method getMax should figure out which one is the largest, as its name suggests.
public class MaxThreeArrayList extends ArrayList<Integer> {
    private final Deque<Integer> deque = new LinkedList<>();

    @Override public boolean add(Integer i) {
        deque.addFirst(i);
        if (deque.size() > 3) { deque.removeLast(); }
        return super.add(i);
    }

    public Integer getMax() {
        Integer max = 0;
        for (Integer i : deque) {
            if (i > max) { max = i; }
        }
        return max;
    }
}

As an additional exercise, you may note that this code can be made more general. It doesn't need to be hard-coded to remember the last 3. You could make that number configurable.
