The most notable trends and topics from World Travel Market 2018
13 December 2018 | Rate parity, Industry news, Industry technology, Distribution
Each year, thousands of people descend on ExCeL in London to explore the world's destinations for World Travel Market. Running in parallel to the global destination marketplace is Travel Forward, an event focused on travel technology. In between stints at the OTA Insight booth, we absorbed the expertise shared in sessions across topics as diverse as distribution, reputation, data and Brexit.
In an effort to catalyse our learnings for others - and following on from our last events round-up - we've compared notes with colleagues to highlight some of the most notable trends and topics from WTM this year.
"Reputation drives revenue"
Reviewpro's Michael Kessler shared the following stats, which stem from the company's Global Review Index. These stats aren't entirely new; rather, they are a reminder at the power of reputation to drive revenue.
Hotels with consistent, positive, and recent reviews enjoy better reputations - and revenue.
We noticed a pattern across sessions: hotels that blend modern technology with classic hospitality perform best. By using technology, such as reputation management tools, and combining it with a focus on staff training and retention, hotels improve their reputations over time. This improvement creates a virtuous flywheel: a better reputation means higher OTA rankings, which means more bookings, which means more opportunities to deliver an exceptional guest experience that results in glowing reviews.
Direct bookings versus direct relationships
Direct booking was a common topic across sessions. It remains an important effort for most hoteliers, who are looking to reduce commissions and regain ownership of the customer from intermediaries.
In a presentation on personalisation for hotels, Avvio's Frank Reeves called for an evolution from just direct bookings to direct relationships. Within this framework, hotels focus less on bookings and more on the relationship with the guest. Given that no two guest journeys are the same, "one size fits all" doesn't work any longer.
That's where the evolution of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and Big Data have had the greatest impact: 1:1 relationship building. Francesca Benati, Amadeus EVP Online for Western Europe, Middle East & Africa, made this connection on a panel discussing the relationship between brands, distribution, and technology:
"It is becoming harder for OTAs to attract and retain customers, so they are looking at offering a seamless experience, not just in the booking flow but also in how they relate to the users."
Moving from service to experience
One way to build direct relationships is to shift thinking just about service and more about the end-to-end guest experience. In somewhat surprising agreement, both OTAs and hotels expressed the desire to rekindle the relationships with customers. This effort stems in part due to rising customer acquisition costs from advertising intermediaries like Google and Facebook.
The focus on overall experience ties into building direct relationships. It's not just providing service to a guest for a single stay, it's about crafting a cohesive experience that extends the relationship from search to booking to on-property. Amadeus's Francesca Benati frames it like this:
"Experience is not only what we know, it's also a brand heritage and interaction."
Each customer interaction is an opportunity to move beyond a single isolated act of "service" and instead see it as an integrated piece of the 'always-on' guest experience.
Platforms and APIs
Platforms and APIs enable this 'always-on' integrated approach in the hospitality industry. In a presentation entitled How Platforms are changing the nature of travel, Mews Systems CEO, Matt Welle, explored how the flexible architecture of platforms powers next-generation hospitality.
As data privacy settles in for the long haul in Europe (with GDPR) and eventually in the US (with California's 2020 privacy law), there's growing scrutiny from regulators and customers around data ownership and management. Siloed data creates security risks with its centralisation; it can also reduce efficiencies as far as acting on the data across other silos. Open platforms and APIs can facilitate more sharing with less centralisation; it can both boost security and make inroads with the "seamless" personalisation the industry idolises.
Throughout these sessions, as well as at other industry events, it's clear that the tension between technology and experience continues. As an industry, we must use technology in a way that enhances the guest experience without replacing the personalised human touch that makes the industry so special. Without this fundamental difference - the hospitality of a warm smile and a welcoming space away from home - there's an existential risk of dehumanising a human-centric industry.

Q: ASP.NET MVC LINQ GroupBy differs from SQL Server GroupBy? Linq rookie here.
I have SQL Server DB where all the raw data for welders coming from.
There are 17 welders based on their IDs by numbers. They have their percentage KPI for each day (multiple tasks per day) on 1 shift.
I have data like
Welder ID        KPI        Date
480              80         2020-04-01
94               60         2020-04-01
480              65         2020-04-02
94               78         2020-04-02
480              95         2020-04-03
94               90         2020-04-03

Expecting
Welder ID        AvgKPI
480              80
94               76

This can be done easily in SQL, image here => https://imgur.com/a/un0jCTc
The upper result table of the first select is from "raw" basic table and the
lower result table is what is just expected in Linq but not in SQL.
I have a report page (ASP.NET MVC5 .NET Framework)
Controller
public ActionResult Records(DateTime? start, DateTime? end, string search = "")
if (start == null)
            {
                start = new DateTime(2019, 01, 02);
            }
            if (end == null)
            {
                end = new DateTime();
                end = DateTime.Now;
            };

SiempelLinkedServerEntities db = new SiempelLinkedServerEntities();
            List<ChecksSovaSiempelZak> chartData = db.ChecksSovaSiempelZaks
                                                                                //base code generating the full list based on parameters
                .Where(x => x.welderID.Contains(search))                         //  with DateTime? start, DateTime? end, string search=""
                .Where(t => t.Date >= start & t.Date <= end)
                .ToList();

            var dataSet = chartData.Select(k => new { k.welderID, k.welderKPI })
                                    .Distinct()
                                    .GroupBy(x => new { x.welderID}, (key, group) => new
                                    {
                                        IDwelder = key.welderID,
                                        KPIwelder = group.Average(x=>x.welderKPI)
                                    }).ToList();

            var welders = dataSet.Select(x => x.IDwelder);
            var weldersKPI = chartData.Select(x => x.KPIwelder);

            ViewBag.welders = welders;
            ViewBag.weldersKPI = weldersKPI;

There's a form with 3 filters, the DateTime start and end parameters return predefined values. Another filter is made for string search for specific person. Not sure if my backend approach is correct.
The expectation is that if there's not set any specific person (search string) return all rows based on datetime parameters as predefined. Those data are going to viewbag cuz of the barchart.
The chart is not showing the average value at all.
Report page here => https://imgur.com/a/DILnLI6
The left side of the page is good and correct. Showing the list of specific person, or persons in selected period. How to correct the controller to pass data to Viewbag as expected in SQL Server?
The average values are dynamic (selected period from datetime parameters).
In short, I want to pass data to chart like X axis = list of welderID, and Y axis = list of Average value for each welder based on selected period.
Any advice is more than welcome.
Sry for my english if something is stated bad

A: If I understood correctly, I think that you would like to change this line
            var weldersKPI = chartData.Select(x => x.KPIwelder);

to var weldersKPI = dataSet.Select(x => x.KPIwelder);

A: As the whole database and the database model is not any kind of my business, I noticed there are no primary and foreign keys set in the tables that I'm using in the statements.
By adding .AsNoTracking() solved the problem!
SiempelLinkedServerEntities db = new SiempelLinkedServerEntities();
            List<ChecksSovaSiempelZak> chartData = db.ChecksSovaSiempelZaks
                .AsNoTracking()
                .Where(x => x.welderID.Contains(search))
                .Where(t => t.Date >= start & t.Date <= end)
                .ToList();

In a world where businesses must leverage technology to do more with less, its surprising that most AP departments today realize less than 20 percent automation from their AP invoice automation solutions. A number of AP challenges derail traditional invoice automation solutions.
Legacy AP solutions deliver weak ROI. Learn how you can muscle up your invoice automation and supercharge performance to go beyond improved efficiency to transform your AP operations from cost center to profit center.
Some 60 percent of all invoices arrive in paper or email format. That requires manual processing that is costly, prone to error and time-consuming; often invoices can take up to 20 days to process. Whats more, 55 percent of invoices have more than two exceptions complexity that can undermine automation and business performance.
Most invoice-processing software platforms are not truly integrated with ERP systems. As a result, critical validation to identify issues up front in invoice processing never happens, so invoices get stuck in limbo, waiting for special attention from the personnel pool while the time and cost of processing grows.
In a sector thats filled with stagnant approaches based on the same technology that has been in place for decades, Inspyrus uniquely offers patent-pending technologies and a next-generation approach that redefines AP automation by combining invoice automation, early-pay discount management, and supplier enablement in a single application that is integrated in real-time to the worlds leading ERP systems.
Read the CMSWire interview with Nilay and Chris on best practices to break away from aging AP operations and improve ROI from existing ERP investments.

Colouring your sole edges, how do you do it the right way? This guide will help you with these actions and it will also let you know which products you'll need.
Black or brown shoewax? Use Saphir Pate de Luxe!
It is pretty obvious when you have black sole edges, you should use the black shoewax. And when you have brown sole edges it is clever to use the brown shoewax.
The reason for using shoewax instead of shoecream is that shoewax attaches better to the surface than shoecream, which also means that you have to repeat this process less often. Shoewax is also more convenient for getting rid of scratches and damages.
If you're looking for a product to colour your sole edges permanently, we advise u to look more into the leather paint, such as our Saphir Teinture Francaise.

Additional Runes
At Ithilien, the Rune given by the old man in the hidden village will be different each time you play; if you save, quit, then play again. This is true of all of the Runes that are given in various levels throughout the game.
At Ithilien, North, when you go through the waterfall near the beginning of the level, the soldier in the hidden village will give you a different rune each time. If you talk to him, get the Rune if you want it, then save and quit the game. Load the game from the same level and talk to him again. He will give you different rune each time. Repeat this as many times as desired.
When you are at a campsite, keep buying a Rune until you cannot get another one. Do not leave the campsite yet. Instead, save and quit the game. Go to a bonus map and play for awhile until you have enough gems for a Rune. Then, save and quit the game. Load the game at the campsite and you will then be able to buy another Rune that you could not get before. Repeat this as many times as desired.
When at the White Mountains: SE Mountains Edge, towards the bottom and end of the map, you can find a random Rune beneath some trees. Pick it up, save the game, then quit. Reload the same level and you can find a different Rune. Keep doing this as many times as desired. It is possible to pick up all of the Runes there.
At the end of the last Moria level, after killing the Troll and a multitude of reappearing Orcs, when you go down the last tunnel towards the exit, you will see two Runes, one on either side of the door. These Runes will be different each time you play. Another Rune is available in the Moria level before this last level; when you open the second gate (to reach the two Trolls), there is a cask to the right of the gate. Smash it to find a Rune.
Note: Smashing casks and crates does not always lead to treasure and herbs. There are some nasty surprises at times. A cask in one of the Moria levels is a multiple cask containing one of the arm-flailing corruption-giving drummer Orcs. There is another cask that contains a drummer Orc in one of the Aragorn's/Legolas'/Gimli's White Mountain levels.
Get all the Runes desired and carve them on weapons. Put that weapon in a Ranger Hollow. Quit the game and go to a character without that rune. Retrieve that weapon from a Ranger Hollow, and it will still have the Rune carved, even though you have not obtained the Rune yet.
Use a link cable to connect to a GameCube and play its version of The Lord Of The Rings: The Return Of The King. Ancient Artifacts that can be sold for extra gems can now be found.
Deagol's Skull Artifact
As Frodo in the Slopes Of Mount Doom level, go up the nearest set of several stairs and kill the standard bearer at the top. Open the chest. Walk back to the beginning and go east until you reach Gollum. Open the chest to find the artifact, Deagol's Skull.
Defeating Denethor
To defeat Denethor, you need to block his torches. The easiest way to defeat him is to use the Shield skill and stand in front of him. Do not stand too close or he will knock you down and immediately destroy your shield. Another way to defeat him is to use the Blinding Aura to stun the Gondorian soldiers. This is difficult because you need to position the soldiers directly in front of Denethor. You can only defeat him by blocking his torches; do not waste your Spirit Points.
Defeating The Witch King
The quickest and easiest way to killing the Witch King is to lead him into the fire. When he is directly on it, hit him once. Do not worry if his armor resisted the blow. The Kitch King will use a power surge and the fire will drain his life. Repeat this until his life meter is almost gone, then begin using your sword to attack him. After you defeat him, go to the man who was killed at the beginning of the level. Search him to get the Witch King's Crown, which is an Artifact.
In multi-player mode, have one player give an item to the other. Then, have the receiving player save the while the sender does not. Next, have both players quit. If done correctly, both players should now have all the items.
Fanghorn Level
Successfully complete the game with all characters to unlock the Fanghorn level.
Feather Of Gwaihir Artifact
With Gandalf at the level where you have to light the two beacons, go through and light the east beacon. Then, go back to the starting level and go all the way to the upper left. The feather will be there.
Galadriel's Lock Artifact
In the North Ithilian level, kill all the Orcs. You may need to go back and forth a lot to find all of them. As soon as you kill all the Orcs, go to the ledge with the waterfall then go right. You will see about thirty butterflies flocking the tree at the dead end. The artifact is near the tree. Do not enter the waterfall or you will have to start the process again.
Helm's Deep Level

Play As Smeagol
Successfully complete the game with at least two characters to unlock Smeagol in the Helm's Deep or Moria levels. He can also be selected in multi-player mode.
Respawning Enemies Warning
When taking Frodo's path, in the level before you have to face Shelob and fight her as Sam, there is a cave guarded by two orange-garbed Orcs. That cave contains treasure without any enemies, but when you exit, you will find that you have to go through the level all over again, killing every enemy you killed before entering the cave. The waterfall cave in Ithilien is like that as well. When you exit it, you will find that every enemy you killed has come alive again and you have to play the level all over again.
Note: Some of the Health Pools act as triggers for the appearance of new enemies. For example, in the Anduin level before you reach the Corsair ship, there is a health pool near a ruined tower. When you drink from it, you trigger the appearance of a cave troll and a number of Orcs.
Saruman's Palantir Artifact
When you face Saruman with Gandalf, go to the top of the map. Break the vases and open the chest to find it.
Secret Areas
There is a secret cave containing a Rune Forge and a Rangers' Hollow in the level of tunnels where you see Shelob (but cannot yet fight her). It is located at the far south in the center, in one of four cave entrances. The others are unusable.
When you reach Ithilien, North with Aragorn, Legolas, Gimli, or Gandalf, go to the waterfall and walk upwards. You will enter a secret village, with a Ranger Hollow, a Forge, and a couple of houses. Talk to the village elder to get the Elf Rune II- Nimblefoot for free.
In the Ice Caves that Eowyn visits, there are three secret caves. The first two are in the far west walls. The first contains a Troll. The second contains a Troll, Spiders, a Trunk, and a Rune Forge. The third cave is near the exit. There is a partition wall separating the exit tunnel from another tunnel to the east. It is at the bottom of the eastern tunnel that there is an entry to another secret cave.
When you play as Aragorn, Legolas or Gimli, you will go through a path in the mountains where you will meet a man who speaks of Goblins and the fact that they do not allow their treasures to remain unguarded for long. To the northeast of this man, there is a secret cave with many Trunks filled with treasure. When you exit this cave, note the appearance of many Crebain and make certain to kill them to avoid corruption.
Shelob's Stinger Artifact
After you defeat Shelob as Sam, go straight up to find a barrel. Smash the barrel to find the stinger. You can also find this artifact in multi-player more.
Note: If you find an artifact in multi-player mode, both players will get it.
There And Back Again Artifact
After you save the girl's brother in the Corsair Camp, return to the beginning of the level. A group of Orcs will be mobbing a woman. Save the woman by killing the Orcs. She will take you to a barn and open the door. Walk through the barn. Talk to the little boy. He will tell you he lost many possessions, including the book. Smash all the barrels in the area to find the artifact.

F&M dancers will perform Martha Graham piece "Celebration" in NYC
BY SHIRA KIPNEES '15
Twelve F&M student dancers will be performing at the Joyce Theatre in New York City (NYC) Feb. 23.
The dancers will be a part of a program titled "University Partners Showcase," which will feature the Martha Graham repertory being performed by other college dance departments as part of the Martha Graham Dance Company 2013 Season.
The F&M Dancers first debuted this piece, entitled "Celebration," in the Fall Dance Concert, Nov. 29 through Dec. 1 in Roschel Performing Arts Center at Schnader Theatre.
The dancers began rehearsals in September, but since two cast members decided to study abroad this semester, two new cast members were added and started rehearsals in December.
Jennifer Conley, visiting assistant professor of dance and director of "Celebration," explained a personal connection inspired her to select this piece.
"Since I stopped dancing with the company in 2006, I have been working as a regisseur with the Martha Graham Center of Contemporary Dance, which means I have been staging Martha Graham's ballets for colleges and universities across the country and abroad," Conley said. "'Celebration' is one of Martha Graham's works from the 1930's, which was a fertile period for all modern arts. In these early works of hers, the movement vocabulary is stark, geometric, robust, and minimal, all qualities that bode well when teaching dancers who are new to the Graham repertory.
"The original cast of 'Celebration' in 1934 was a group of strong, passionate, and spirited women and I wanted to find a cast with similar qualities to bring out the presence of individuals within this ensemble piece," Conley continued.
"'Celebration' is also really challenging — it is physically demanding and rigorous. The dancers are performing with marvelous athleticism!"
Conley made sure to stay in touch with her contacts at the company to see if she could provide her F&M students the opportunity to perform for them.
"I had been in contact with the Artistic Director of the company, Janet Eilber, back in June, to let her know that I would be teaching and staging 'Celebration' at F&M in the Fall and that we would love to be considered for the University Partners Showcase," Conley said. "I stayed in touch with both Janet and Suzy Upton, director of resources and licensing, until they were able to say that we were indeed included in that program."
"Celebration" debuted Feb. 25, 1934 at the Guild Theatre in NYC and is described by the Graham Company as "a minimalist study of joy. It is a classic example of the stark abstraction of Graham's formative years and the vocabulary that she was creating — clear, forceful gesture full of angularities and gruff athleticism. Originally danced by a cast of twelve women, 'Celebration' is pure, austere, succinct expression. It has no [storyline] but is exuberance itself."
Conley and the 12 dancers, Olivia Clark '14, Emily Hawk '16, Abby Komlenic '13, Kathryn Komlenic '15, Gwendolyn LeBar '14, Jessica Pignatelli '13, Kaitlin Rabinowitz '15, Bianca Santos '14, Alison Shupp '16, Elizabeth Yutzey '16, Sarah Strong '14, and Lila Ziegler '13, will depart for NYC on Feb. 21 and will return to campus on the evening after the concert on Feb. 23.
The dancers will be rehearsing in the theatre all day on Feb. 22 and then plan to attend the Martha Graham Dance Company concert that evening.
The dancers are both excited and nervous for their upcoming performance in NYC.
"I feel like it isn't going to hit me — how huge and rare this opportunity is — until I arrive at the Joyce," Hawk said, who has been performing with the dancers since her first semester at F&M after dancing her whole life. "I already realize that this is a huge deal, but I know that something about the city atmosphere, being on the stage and under the lights, will trigger a much more emotional response in me. This will be an event I will never forget!"
Hawk also plans on possibly pursuing a dance major at F&M.
Even the more senior members of the company are nervous before the upcoming dance.
"When I think about performing in NYC I have a mix of emotions," said Pignatelli, a senior member of the F&M Dance Company, who has been dancing since she was two years old and dancing with F&M since she was a first-year.
"I am so incredibly excited yet anxious and nervous at the same time. Performing at the Joyce is a completely different level than anything I have done in my entire life."
The dancers were very excited to hear they would receive the opportunity to perform in NYC.
"When I found out we were going to NYC I was ecstatic," Pignatelli said. "It is an amazing opportunity to be able to dance in such a renowned place. I cannot wait to get there."
Hawk explained that this is a great opportunity for her, especially as a freshman.
"For me, it was a sign that I chose the right college," Hawk said. "Having the opportunity to dance in NYC is something that comes once in a lifetime, and to have it come in the first semester of my freshman year is a surreal honor."
The girls also explained that the cast of "Celebration" is very close.
"The dancers have been so encouraging and friendly towards me," Hawk said. "When we started working on the piece, I had no experience in this genre of dance at all, coming from a background of mainly ballet. The girls in my cast, as well as Jen, have brought out such a drive in me, which has translated to a noticed improvement."
Pignatelli added that it is through the long hours of hard work that the company has been able to come even closer
"It has been amazing working with the 11 other girls in the cast of Celebration," Pignatelli said.
"We have all gotten so close through the long hours we have put in. We are all so committed to making this performance the best we can. Conley has also been an amazing director throughout this process and even though she is not dancing with us, she is an integral part of our team. Without her passion and dedication we would not be where we are today.
She has been so supportive, and I know all of us want to give a little back to her through this performance."
Pignatelli mentioned the F&M Dance Company has made great progress over the course of this year, something that has really impressed her.
"My favorite part of this whole experience has been seeing the progress we have made from September until now," Pignatelli said. "We started by Jennifer giving us a crash course in Graham technique and breaking down each individual movement. From there we began to learn the piece in sections, and it was extremely difficult to even get through one section without losing stamina. Now, seeing all of us being able to get through the entire piece, although still out of breath, is an amazing accomplishment, and we are all so proud."
Hawk said her favorite part of the whole experience has been learning the history of the piece.
"My favorite part has been becoming a part of the Martha Graham history," Hawk said. "I love studying history; so to be involved in a work choreographed by such a significant and renowned artist is meaningful. By dancing in 'Celebration,' I am carrying on her legacy, as well as the legacy of all the dancers in her company."
Hawk also explained that this piece involved a lot of firsts.
"This piece has marked many firsts for me: dancing barefoot, with my hair down instead of in a bun, in a heavy costume made out of wool — but all of these firsts are crucial to my transition to F&M, and I wouldn't change anything," Hawk said.
Conley explained how proud she is of her dancers.
"My colleagues Lynn Brooks, Pam Vail, and I are so proud of our dancers and thrilled that they are going to represent our dance department and greater F&M performing arts community in New York City!" Conley said.

Q: How to appropriately manage the memory for a singleton class? I have an NSObject subclass like this:
@interface MyManager : NSObject

+ (MyManager *)sharedInstance;

// More instance methods

@end

@implementation MyManager

+ (MyManager *)sharedInstance
{
   static dispatch_once_t _singletonPredicate;
   static MyManager *sharedObject = nil;

   dispatch_once(&_singletonPredicate, ^{
       sharedObject = [[self alloc] init];
   });

   return sharedObject;
}

// More instance methods implemetation

@end

I call it throughout the app this way:
[[MyManager sharedInstance] anInstanceMethod];

without linking it to any property anywhere. Is this correct or appropriate, or should it be recommended to keep a property to this kind of objects anywhere?
On the other hand, I have my app enabled for keeping updating locations in background mode, and I need this object to keep listening for events from the location manager while the app is running in background. How should I handle this object in such scenario?
Thanks in advance

A: Singleton exists once it is created, and never destoryed.

Q: eclipse Duplicate generator named "ID_GENERATOR" defined in this persistence unit I'm currently having this issue which I don't have before I migrated to eclipse-jee-kepler. What I have:
I have 2 classes, base and the extending class:
public abstract class BaseEntity implements Serializable {
    @Id
    @GeneratedValue(generator = "ID_GENERATOR")
    @Column(name = "ID")
    private Long id;
}

@Entity
@Table(name = "CUSTOMER")
@SequenceGenerator(name = "ID_GENERATOR", sequenceName = "CUSTOMER_SEQ")
public class Customer extends BaseEntity {
}

Before I don't have this validation error but now eclipse is throwing it. I can compile, build and deploy successfully but the error marker is making it hard to pinpoint the compile errors when you really have one.
The error seems obvious, it's because I have ID_GENERATOR on all the extending classes. My question:
1.) Can I ignore this error?
2.) Any work around? Possibly using a different approach.

A: The generator's name must to be unique by generator and it can be referenced by one or more classes.
The javadoc clearly says:

(Required) A unique generator name that can be referenced by one or
  more classes to be the generator for primary key values.

According to the java JPA 2.1 specification (SequenceGenerator Annotation of the JPA 2.1 - section 11.1.48):

The scope of the generator name is global to the persistence unit
  (across all generator types)

A: For MyEclipse
1.Windows->Preferences
2.Myeclipse->Validation->JPA
3.Queries and generators
Generators is not defined in the persistence unit;

A: I figured the problem, it was more of an eclipse JPA validation setting. To disable:

*

*Select Window » Preferences

*Expand Java Persistence » JPA » Errors/Warnings

*Click Queries and generators

*Set Duplicate generator defined to: Ignore

*Click OK to apply changes and close the dialog

You can also set the value to Warning instead of Ignore.


The aviation industry tells us that there is no such thing as an unsafe seat on a plane and it doesn't really matter where you sit in terms of safety. However, study by Popular Mechanics magazine examined every commercial jet crash in the United States, since 1971, (that had both fatalities and survivors) and it revealed that you are 40 per cent more likely to survive a crash if you are sitting in the rear of the plane than if you are in the first few rows. This is apparently why they put the black box at the rear of an aircraft. It's always a nice little stat to remember when you're getting on a plane and turning right into cattle class and watching the smug travellers turn left to sit up front in the expensive seats. Although they would die in lovely flatbed comfort.
If you are involved in a crash and need to get off the plane quickly then being in an aisle seat makes a huge difference. If you've ever been in a window seat and had to clamber over a sleeping person to go to the toilet you'll know it can be like one of the ten tasks of Hercules. Now imagine trying to do that in the dark, after a crash landing, while the cabin is filling with smoke and people are running around like it's a fire drill in a lunatic asylum. Those seconds you save being there on the gangway could save your life.
There was once a time when people got dressed up and wore a suit to fly, but now air travel is common and passengers usually dress for comfort. So rather than wool suits and cotton shirts, there's a lot more polyester and these are dangerous materials. In the case of fire breaking out they will melt to your skin turning you into human napalm. According the FAA only 20 per cent die on impact in a plane crash with the rest of the fatalities resulting from smoke inhalation and fire damage. The worst thing you could wear to fly is a football shirt, with shell suit over the top and plastic flip-flops – and not just for safety reasons, but because you'll look like the sort of person who wears football shirts and shell suits on flights. For many, when scruffs like this turn up on your flight it is a comfort to know that in the event of a crash they'll melt like the wicked witch of the West.
While the a lady with more make-up than a circus clown is telling you about their safety drill and demonstrating lights and whistles for attracting attention, it's easy to bury your head in a magazine – especially if you've heard it all before. There is, however, one thing you should take note of before taking off, and that is which was the nearest exit (in front or behind you) and one thing that they don't tell you to do, count the number of rows to the exit. That way, if it's dark and smoky you can feel your way along the seats and know how far you have to go. It's also worth noting that although you may be nearer one particular exit, there could (on flights that are not full) be more people in between you and the door.
There was an intriguing, and rather macabre, notion that the only reason you are asked to adopt that brace position was because it's the best way of protecting your jaw and therefore making it easier for investigators to identify your body from your dental records. In truth, the brace position actually helps prevent injury and death because you compact yourself into a small shape and have your head against the back of the seat in front. This means that a) The g-force that throws you forward won't smash your head into the seat in front as you're already in contact with it. b) Your limbs are far less likely to flail about and be broken by objects that may be flying around the cabin such as bags, wreckage, small children who didn't wear the seatbelt, and so on. According to the FAA the brace position is three times safer than sitting upright.
While there are naturally many factors that can contribute to air crashes, it might be worth noting that AirSafe has collated data on crashes by airline and model of plane. In terms of fatalities, the plane that has been involved in most is the Boeing 737. However, that is a very common plane that has done over 135 million flights. When you work out a ratio of fatalities-per-flight, the most dangerous commercial plane in AirSafe's figures, even though it only had one crash, is actually dear old Concorde. When it comes to airlines, based on AirSafe's figures, you might want to avoid those of former Soviet States or those from China. It's worth remembering though that even when flying with carriers in the bottom 25 (with the worst flight safety records) the odds of being killed are less than one in a million.

Sri Lankan security personnel stand guard after clashes erupted between Christian and Muslim communities in Negombo on Monday. Sri Lanka's Roman Catholic Church appealed for calm and an alcohol ban on May 6 after clashes between Christians and Muslims following the Easter suicide attacks. | AFP-JIJI
All directly involved in Sri Lanka attacks dead or arrested: police
Online: May 07, 2019
COLOMBO - Two bomb experts were among the suicide attackers who struck churches and hotels on April 21 in Sri Lanka and all those directly involved in the bombings are either dead or under arrest, police said.
Acting police Chief C.D. Wickramaratne also said in a statement late Monday that explosives the Islamic State-linked group stacked for use in more attacks have been seized.
The bombings killed 257 people and wounded hundreds at three churches and three hotels. Seven suicide bombers died at their targets while another exploded his device later at a guesthouse after his device failed at a leading tourist hotel. A ninth killed herself to avoid capture by police at her home.
Police have detained 73 suspects for investigations since the bombings and have seized stocks of explosives, improvised explosives devices and hundreds of swords. They have also found $140,000 in cash in bank accounts connected to the group and another $40 million worth of assets in land, houses, vehicles and jewelry.
Authorities had repeatedly said another attack from the extremist group was possible.
Sri Lanka's Catholic church hierarchy closed churches for a second weekend on Sunday as the faithful celebrated Mass from home via television.
But on Tuesday, one of the churches targeted in the attacks, St. Anthony's Shrine in Colombo, opened a section of the church to the public for the first time since the bombing, enabling devotees to pray in the church as was customary every Tuesday.
Catholic schools remain closed until further notice after reports said two of their locations were to be attacked last weekend.
Government-run schools reopened for students of higher classes Monday but fewer students attended out of fear.
Army Cmdr. Mahesh Senanayake on Monday urged the public to resume normal activities and trust the security forces.
"I ask the people not to fear unnecessarily, not to believe rumors … believe in the tri-forces and police that defeated one of deadliest terrorist organizations in the world," he said of the ethnic Tamil separatists who fought a 26-year civil war. The conflict ended 10 years ago.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens Trailer In 16-Bit Video Game Style Is Fun
I don't know what I want to do more, watch the new Star Wars movie or play this awesome 16-bit retro video game version of the new Star Wars movie. Actually, that's a lie. I still want to watch the movie more. But there's a kid in me that would love this video game so much if it ever existed.
Here's the new Star Wars movie trailer done up in 16-bit style below.
Our First Look At The Discworld TV Show Is Not What You Were Expecting


The British Academy has launched a new, competitive research funding call, the Early Childhood Development Programme, as part of the £1.5 billion Global Challenges Research Fund and in partnership with the Department for International Development (DfID).
The purpose of this interdisciplinary research programme is to fund the evidence that will inform the policies and interventions that will transform the life chances and destinies of children in their early years in lower- and middle-income countries. This Scheme will allow UK and overseas researchers, working with their partners in the Global South where relevant, to undertake projects to deliver research excellence with development impact. Research will be problem-focused and interdisciplinary, bringing together relevant disciplines to tackle the problem for maximum impact. Projects will need to demonstrate an innovative and interdisciplinary approach yielding new conceptual understanding in the field of early childhood development.
Strengthening early childhood development is central to achieving at least seven of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG Target 4.2, which states that by 2030 countries should 'ensure that all girls and boys have access to quality early childhood development, care and pre-primary education so that they are ready for primary education'. To achieve these goals, there needs to be a step change in early childhood development research and policy action that drives interaction and cross-learning between disciplines, sectors and actors. This joined-up approach has been lacking, as noted in the recent Lancet series on early childhood development. This programme is intended as the foundation for a wider research programme in subsequent years and thus aims to support a new generation of interlinked research and policy intervention that focuses on what works at scale in different contexts whilst building, and working with, local capacity to deliver effective research and change.
Research will be problem-focused and interdisciplinary, bringing together relevant disciplines to tackle the problem for maximum impact. It is envisaged that small teams, with different disciplinary backgrounds in the humanities, social sciences, and scientific and medical disciplines, with expertise in areas such as psychology, neuroscience, education, health, nutrition, and social protection, and using a broad range of different methodological approaches, will apply for funding.
expanding the research base in countries and populations with high unmet need and low research capacity.
The Early Childhood Development Programme is open to researchers based at UK and overseas institutions. The main applicant must be based at a university or research institute and be of postdoctoral or above equivalent status. The applicant must either be in a permanent position at the institution or have a fixed-term position for the duration of the award. Co-applicants must also be of postdoctoral or above equivalent status.
Projects must be up to 18 months in duration, with a maximum value of £350,000. Projects will start in September 2017.
The Early Childhood Development Programme falls under the Global Challenges Research Fund and therefore must fund only ODA-eligible projects. Only research that has a primary objective which is directly and primarily relevant to the problems of developing countries may be counted as ODA. We will require applicants to demonstrate that the proposal is ODA eligible.

Need info on a 40hp Reid Type DC compressor engine. Any help greatly appreciated.
They have one at the Temple show in Texas. It has run every year I have been there except last year (air line problem I heard) so someone there knows how to run it. I will see if I can find out who might know about it.
Interesting photo I have seen these engines laying around some oil fields in western Pa. years ago. I had purchased and now in the process of restoring to sell a 12 1/2 by 16" Reid that looks very much like your engine. The data I gathered years ago on this engine that it is a 95 hp at 550 rpm but this was from the modification done by the oil field owner making it a 13 1/4 x 16, he said thatthey were made to be interchangable. Just change the cylinder/water jacket and head. My lubricater is slightly different along with the air shut off system that comes directly from the "distributor" (the mechanical device that derives its power from a shaft that comes the crank), also my magneto is different. I am somewhat at a loss on how the pressure/temperature cutoff switch works if in fact that is what it is. I will try to attach photos. By the way nice flywheel paint job.
Watch out Tom. That short stack is going to blow the roof off your shed.
The Temple show...You need to talk to Monk Ivicheck (sp?). He does not own the engine but knows all about it. He knows and owns more old iron that most of us have dreamed about.
Just how might I get in touch with Monk?
Slack movement in the distributor gear if also in the shaft could be from improperly adjusted bolt behind the crank. See photo. Note do not over tighten.

Juanita M. Kreps
Juanita M. Kreps (1921 - 2010) was a Berea College alumnus whose rigorous work in the field of economics allowed her to hold many prestigious titles. She was the first woman to serve as Secretary of Commerce (under President Jimmy Carter). She was the fourth woman in American history to serve in a Cabinet post.
Juanita Morris was born on January 11, 1921 in the coal mining town of Lynch in Harlan County, Kentucky. Her parents, Elmer M. Morris and Larcenia (Blair) Morris, were of Scotch-Irish heritage. The name "Juanita" her mother's choice, as she believed it was possible that she had some Spanish blood.
Juanita was the youngest of six children. When she was four years old her parents divorced, and she went to live with her mother until she was enrolled in a Presbyterian boarding school at the age of 12. Recalling growing up during the Great Depression, she said, "Everyone was having economic problems, and we weren't any worse off than anyone else."
Morris entered Berea College in 1938. Upon taking her first class in Economics at the college, she decided to declare it her major. In an interview with Donna Landry of the Washington Post, she explained, "I was always interested in social problems. If you read the newspapers and had a sense of where the world was, you couldn't help being concerned. I thought economics would give me more insight into what was going on."
After earning her B.A. from Berea, Morris enrolled at Duke University, where she received her M.A. in 1944 and her Ph.D. in 1948.
During her first years at Duke University, she taught part-time and served as a junior economist with the National War Labor Board in Atlanta in the summer of 1943, and then in Washington in 1944. As she worked toward her doctorate, she served as an instructor and assistant professor at Duke. She lectured at Hofstra College and Queens College before returning to Duke to teach economics as a visiting associate professor and eventually full time professor. In 1972 Kreps was named to the James B. Duke professorship, the university's most prestigious chair. In 1973 she was appointed vice-president.
Kreps specialized in labor demographics, with a particular emphasis on the employment of women and older workers. One of her better known books, Sex in the Marketplace: American Women at Work, served as a review of women's labor force activity. In her book, Kreps answered questions such as why women enter the same occupation year after year, why their proportion of advanced degrees remained so low, and why so many exchanged the monotony of housework for equally dull and low-paying office jobs. Although the number of women in the workforce had significantly increased since 1920, Kreps pointed out in her book that "they continue to staff the clerical jobs, the elementary classrooms, and the sales rooms; they are almost never vice-presidents or high school principals or hospital administrators." Although Kreps refused to be labeled as a women's liberationist because she disliked the term, she agreed with many of the positions taken by feminist leaders. She urged women to consider taking up careers in the marketplace and to reject the concept that a successful marriage alone fulfills a woman.
In 1975, Kreps organized and directed a conference at the Arden House in Harriman, New York, called "Women and the American Economy." There she produced a policy document endorsing the Equal Rights Amendment, recommending stronger affirmative action programs at universities, and encouraging young women to "recognize the probability of future work in the marketplace."
As a highly respected economist and education administrator, Kreps was appointed the first woman director on the New York Stock Exchange and several blue chip companies such as Western Electric, R.J. Reynolds Industries, Eastman Kodak, and J.C. Penny. In the Congressional Quarterly, she was credited with having a "penetrating style and notable independence in her corporate dealings."
Kreps was invited to meet with Jimmy Carter after his election as president to brief him on economic issues. A few months later, she was appointed Secretary of Commerce. She was the fourth woman in American history to be named to a Cabinet post.
On August 11, 1944, Morris married Clifton H. Kreps Jr., a professor of banking at the University of North Carolina. They had three children: Sarah, Laura, and Clifton III. She once said that she enjoyed fresh flowers, expensive clothes, classical music, and Duke Ellington's jazz.
Dr. Kreps was awarded an honorary degree from Bryant College in October 1972. Berea College awarded her the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws in 1979. She was named Dean of the Woman's College at Duke University, elected as the first woman to serve as Alumni Trustee at Duke, and served as its Alumni Association's National Alumni Fund Chairman between 1983 and 1984. Additionally, Kreps received the B'nai B'rith Outstanding Citizen Award, the 1981 Achievement Award from the Education Foundation of American Association of University of Women. She was the first recipient of the Duke University Distinguished Alumnus Award and one of the first six recipients of the Outstanding Alumnus of Kenty Award.

If treason goes unpunished how can any crime be punished?
By wereyou on Jun 7, 2020
Home » "I'm not doing that." » If treason goes unpunished how can any crime be punished?
Even in this most treasonous act of modern days, in this greatest scandal ever in America, in this abuse and middle-fingering of ALL the American people I do not expect anything to ever come of this. This is just another show of the characterless cuck club. One bought and paid for POS investigating another. It is difficult to believe that every senator is either blackmailed or paid for but that sure seems to be the case. One cannot help but wonder just how much money those elected to DC and State Houses and municipalities have stolen from the American people.
Russia Hoax: Nearly Three Dozen Subpoenas Approved for Obama Administration Officials
By Jarrett Staff
Senate Republicans had a lot of momentum Thursday for their investigation into the origins of the Russia probe. The Senate Homeland Security Committee authorized subpoena requests for "nearly three dozen" Obama administration officials, reports NBC News. In conjunction, the Judiciary Committee is considering more than 50 additional subpoenas; any action is reportedly postponed until next week.
What has been aptly referred to as "unmasking the unmaskers" the Senate Republicans seek to get to the bottom of how Trump campaign and transition officials were "unmasked" such as former national security adviser Michael Flynn. Additional questions they want answered are why the FISA application process was so deeply misused to spy on the Trump campaign and the FBI and special counsel's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 elections.
"The conduct we know that occurred during the transition should concern everyone and absolutely warrants further investigation," said Homeland Security Chairman Ron Johnson (R-WI). "There are times when extraordinary situations require action whether or not we all agree" Johnson added.
Democrats clearly have no defense, proven by their pathetic argument that Republicans are motivated by an election year. "I'm disappointed that our committee is once again meeting to discuss a partisan investigation," said Homeland Security ranking Democrat Gary Peters of Michigan. "I'm concerned about the timing of this investigation that did not become a priority until we entered into an election year. Peters had the audacity to say he was "concerned about the timing" showing he could not be more of an out of touch hypocrite.
Democratic senator Tom Carper of Delaware refuses to even attend the meetings, saying the committee is "trying to score political points and help a president in an election year." One just can't reason with these people. Trying to explain their hypocrisy to them is simply beating a dead horse.
Amongst those the Homeland Security and Judiciary committees are considering issuing subpoenas for include former CIA Director John Brennan, ex-Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, former FBI Director James Comey, former Obama chief of staff Dennis McDonough, former national security adviser Susan Rice and ex-FBI officials Peter Strzok and Lisa Page.

Life insurance ensures that your family and loved ones are protected against financial difficulties in the event of a premature death. It is imperative to have life insurance in order to preserve the savings you have accumulated through years of hard work. Life insurance also enables your family to live the lifestyle they are accustomed to. Combined with investments, retirement and estate planning, life insurance is an integral part of a sound financial plan and a great way to preserve your estate.
Some people are interested in life insurance that accumulates cash value throughout the policy life. This is called Whole Life. As a policies cash value grows, it can be used for other things such as a child's education or a down payment on a home or car.
With so many companies and life insurance plans out there, it's important to find a policy that best fits your needs.

ADVANCED PROSTATE CANCER FORUMS
New drug Apalutamide (Erlyand) not approved for the PBS in Australia
December 14, 2018 in New agents
New drug Apalutamide (Erlyand) not approved for the PBS
Jim Marshall (not a doctor) said ...
The PBAC (the expert committee that recommends whether drugs go on the PBS) has said that it cannot yet recommend Apalutamide (Erlyand).
The PBAC said if evidence longer life benefit comes in the future this could change. (The evidence so far is only that it will delay further treatment.)
They also said there is no evidence yet about how successful Abiraterone (Zytiga) or Enzalutamide (Xtandi) treatment might be after Apalutamide treatment.
The PBAC also said the price the company was asking was too high given the evidence put forward.
They said they did take into consideration evidence from consumers (many of them our members - we thank you for that) the benefits of delaying further metastasis and symptoms getting worse.
... end Jim
PBS: Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme
PBAC: Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee
Drug: APALUTAMIDE Tablet 60 mg Erlyand® Janssen-Cilag Pty Ltd New listing (Major Submission)
Purpose of submission: To request an Authority Required listing for the treatment of nonmetastatic castration resistant prostate cancer in combination with androgen deprivation therapy.
PBAC outcome: The PBAC did not recommend the listing of apalutamide for the treatment of non-metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer. The PBAC considered that apalutamide provided a substantial benefit to some patients in delaying metastases but the survival benefit was uncertain as the trial data were immature. The PBAC noted the consumer comments and acknowledged the potential quality of life benefits associated with delaying metastasis and symptomatic progression. The PBAC considered that the appropriate treatment pathway is unclear as there are insufficient data demonstrating the degree of efficacy of abiraterone or enzalutamide after treatment with apalutamide. The PBAC considered that it is likely that other treatments, such as enzalutamide, are likely to enter the same market space as apalutamide. The PBAC advised that the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio was underestimated due to the estimated gain in overall survival being implausibly high in the economic analysis presented.
Sponsor Comment: Jansen was disappointed with the PBAC's decision not to recommend apalutamide (ERLYAND®). Janssen welcomes the PBAC'S acknowledgment of the substantial benefit in delaying metastases and maintain that apalutamide is associated with a survival advantage. Janssen will continue to work towards a listing for this important product in the treatment of prostate cancer.

Jim,
Did Janssen's application involve use of Apalutamide pre chemo or post chemo or both.
I presume pre chemo as PBAC indicate for non-metastatic castration resistant PC without mentioning chemo.
PBAC seem to be worried about a treatment pathway where enzalutamide or abiraterone may be used after apalutamide
No evidence yet of matching best drug to individual patients at whatever stage of the disease.
Is it true that Abiraterone will soon come off patent and may then become a much cheaper generic drug?
How long until Enzalutamide may do the same?
1. Yes. This application was pre-chemo.
A new drug has been developed and tested for men with castrate-resistant prostate cancer who have no metastases.
In the trial of Apalutamide (Erlyand®), half the men on the drug still had no sign of metastases at 40.5 months. In contrast, half the men on the placebo (dummy tablets) reached this point after 16.2 months.
The drug passed the first step in Australia by gaining TGA (Therapeutic Goods Administration) approval in only 4 months. So, now it can be legally be prescribed and sold in Australia.
Today the company selling the drug (Janssen) took the next step by asking the Pharmaceutical Benefits Advisory Committee (PBAC) to approve the drug being put on the PBS so it is available to men who need it at an affordable price.
2. Abiraterone may come off patent soon. It was due to come off now, but Johnson & Johnson are fighting in the courts to extend the patent.
3. I don't know the length of the Enzalutamide patent, but we can expect a proposal that it should be used for the same type of man as Apalutamide was tested on - men with castrate-resistant prostate cancer who have no metastases.

Sad that the PBAC failed to see the merit of this androgen receptor blocking medication that can hold off metastases for many months, while, apparently, enzalutamide will meet the same fate since the SPARTAN trial showed apalutamide had a longer range of effectiveness than that shown for enzalutamide in the PROSPER trial. It appears cost is the mitigating factor. We can hope that Janssen can see fit to offer the availability of apalutamide at a cost that will meet PBAC approval.


As a small business owner, you might not think about cyberattacks on a regular basis. However, they're more relatable than you think. In fact, cyberattacks on small businesses are continuously rising. According to Symantec, 54% of cyberattacks targeted small businesses in 2016, compared to 18% of attacks in 2011.
The hackers attached a Word document to an email, crafted to run a malicious script on the target machine. If the victim clicked "enable content" after opening that tainted attachment, the attacker would gain remote access to the computer.
Given that small businesses are top targets for cyber criminals, and given how simple some cyberattacks appear to be, how do small business owners feel about cyberattacks heading their way? According to a recent TruShield Insurance poll, not great. We polled hundreds of Canadian small business owners, and 65% of them said they aren't very confident their business could survive a cyberattack.
In the unfortunate scenario that your small business falls victim to a hack, there are specific steps that you can take to recover from the breach and minimize your losses. Here are five tips on how to recover from a cyber breach; check out the video above, or take a look below!
Do not unplug: We know that your gut instinct after experiencing a cyber breach may be to unplug and turn everything off right away. But shutting down a machine can delete valuable information on how the hack originated and the extent of the damage.
Call in a pro: Unless you've got a degree in post-breach forensic investigating, you're likely in over your head at this point. Bringing in someone who specializes in cyberattacks is a good next step after identifying a hack. They'll be able to determine important details including the scope of the damage that's been done. Once all the important information has been pulled by a specialist, they can help contain the situation.
Communicate quickly: Delivering bad news to your customers, employees, and partners is never fun, but it's often best to take care of this quickly. Consider communicating promptly, and be as honest as possible. Forbes found that customers are actually more interested in how a company handles a breach than the fact that one occurred in the first place. Be sure to provide consistent updates as they come in, too!
Fix the gaps in your security: The investigation you do following a breach will shine light on any vulnerabilities in your security system, and will allow you to fix any holes to help avoid any future hacks. Investing in firewall and intrusion prevention systems can give you another layer of security against the threat of cyberattacks.
Revisit your coverage: There are a number of myths associated with cyber risks for small business that can cloud your judgement and leave you vulnerable. Speak to your insurance provider about revisiting your policy to ensure you're covered for the damages that a cyber breach can cause.
65 percent of small businesses aren't very confident they could survive a cyberattack.
With cyberattacks on small businesses on the rise, it's important to know exactly what you need to do to get your business back up and running if you get hit by a cyber breach. The best athletes know how to pick themselves up after a hard hit or a tough tumble; the tips above can help you and your business do the same. Don't let cyberattacks stall your business' journey towards success!

'New investors coming to inject money to revive GN Savings' – Nduom
August 13, 2019 ghentertainers
The owner of GN Savings and Loans, Papa Kwesi Nduom has once again given assurances that the company will bounce back within the shortest possible time.
This time around, he says the company has already found 'credible potential partners' as part of strategies to raise more funds for it to meet the outstanding withdrawal demands of depositors.
In a Facebook post on Sunday, Dr. Ndoum said, GN Savings is awaiting clearance from the Bank of Ghana so the new investors can pump new money into its operations to address liquidity challenges.
"For the rest of the year, our attention will be on raising funds to unlock customer funds from 'old deposits' (deposits made prior to this year). Our national retail footprint has enabled the company to find credible potential partners who when cleared by the Bank of Ghana, will invest new money."
While expressing optimism in the revival of the business, Papa Kwesi Ndoum also mentioned that the company is making strides.
"Existing shareholders have also pledged to put in new money to provide liquidity by the end of the year. Our consistent interactions with our loan customers are yielding positive results. What we collect is sent to our branches to meet customer needs. I am confident that the revival of this business will continue."
Ndoum also said that the challenges confronting his business are being addressed.

One day, a bear cub finds something strange and wonderful in the forest. When he touches it, it makes a horrible noise. Yet he is drawn back again and again. Eventually, he learns to play beautiful sounds, delighting his woodland friends.Then the bear is invited to share his sounds with new friends in the city. He longs to explore the world beyond his home, and to play bigger and better than before. But he knows that if he leaves, the other bears will be very sad. Will he ever see them again?
It's beautiful, heartwarming, and endearing. And the illustrations are soft, cozy, and well done. An all-around, feel-good book. But I (sadly) did not love it, like I wanted to. It's a very predictable (overused) storyline that stars (yet again) a bear. Perhaps I'm just bear-ed out (so. many. bear. books.). I don't feel that it had any elements to make it stand out from all the rest. It's perfectly enjoyable so, of course, I recommend it. It's just so standard that I feel like I don't have as much to say.
