In marketing, trade show swag isn't just a party favor you give to guests at the end of the night. It's your brand ambassador when you're no longer there. The role of swag shouldn't be underestimated. When utilized correctly, it provides brands with a physical and emotional connection to their customers before, during, and after an event.
In other words, swag is a gift that keeps on giving — and that's why it has become a $21 billion industry. One study found that 87 percent of trade show attendees keep the promotional items they receive for more than a year, and 79 percent of them say they'd be likely to do business with that company again.
The power of trade show swag can open doors for your brand anywhere. In order to unlock its potential, remember that not all swag is created equal.
Call it swag, promos, giveaways, freebies, tchotchkes… Swag can be as small as a pen or as big as a VIP trip to a concert. It can be a tangible item that sits on a desk or an experience that lives inside the mind. One thing remains consistent, though: The better your swag strategy is, the more important, valued, and excited your consumers will feel about your brand.
Match Your Trade Show Swag to Your Message.
Offer swag that reflects your brand's message and values. If your company's identity revolves around practicality and productivity, don't hand out time-wasting junk like yo-yos and rubber balls. Instead, give your audience something they need, like a branded roll of duct tape or a Swiss army knife. Remember, this is something your customer plans to have in his or her home for years to come. Make sure it reflects the right brand image.
Even if your brand isn't all about practicality and productivity, giving your customers something they can actually use is a smart way to gain their respect and gratitude. For example, if you're marketing at an outdoor event, consider offering branded umbrellas, bottles of water, sunblock, or folding fans. Customers are much more likely to remember brands that help them out.
Customers will eventually forget a brand that relies on the same key chain for years on end. It's wise to vary your swag offerings both over time and depending on the scenario. Pins, badges, and stickers might be perfect for one event, while personalized putters could be perfect for another. Change it up to keep the attention of your audience.
Logos are an easy way to get your brand name into somebody's home, but they're also an easy way to get your swag into somebody's trash can. If your swag is actually impressive or useful in its own right, a small, discreet logo will do the trick. Customers will naturally remember who gave it to them.
Creating multiple tiers of swag can be a dangerous strategy because it suggests that your company values certain customers over others. If one demographic is handed cheap-looking pens but knows that another market got bottles of champagne, they're going to leave your event feeling jealous and underappreciated. Your best option is to make sure the swag you offer is of a consistent value, but if you must create multiple levels of reward, keep it under wraps.

Research highlights the major social and economic impact of registered Irish charities
25 July 2018 Press Releases Publications
Report shows the huge diversity among Irish charities
Registered Irish charities have an income of €14.5 billion, directly employ 189,000 people and are supported by 300,000 volunteers, according to research on the social and economic impact of charities in Ireland, published today.
The report by Indecon International Economic Consultants, commissioned by the Charities Regulator, shows that registered Irish charities have a direct, indirect and induced* expenditure of €24.98 billion and support 289,000 employees.
Indecon's analysis uses data from the Register of Charities at the end of 2017, including information from annual reports provided to the Charities Regulator. Financial information regarding 5,746 charities was analysed as well as data from the Central Statistics Office.
"In addition to highlighting the significant economic and social impact which charities are making in communities across Ireland and globally, the report highlights the wide diversity of organisations which are registered as charities in Ireland,"
Charities Regulator Chief Executive John Farrelly said.
"At one end of the scale there are large hospitals and universities with budgets funded by the Exchequer, extending to hundreds of millions of Euro, and hundreds of paid staff. Many of these are large charities engaged in delivering critical health, education and social services.
"At the other end of the scale, there are completely volunteer-led organisations, providing services at community level, with small budgets."
The research shows that the Government and public bodies are the largest source of income for registered charities accounting for more than half the total funding (€7.7 billion).
Volunteers are also an important resource for charities, with the 300,000 volunteers donating 67.9 million hours (an average of 226 hours annually per volunteer). Based on the minimum wage, this is worth €649 million per year.
The report was launched today (July 25) by the Minister of State at the Department of Rural and Community Development, Seán Kyne.
"Charities have a huge social and economic impact
"While we have known this for a long time, this very valuable report allows us to talk about charitable organisations and the broader sector with some degree of precision.
"The scope of the different challenges and opportunities is thus becoming clearer, and Indecon's report outlines further areas that we might explore in more depth, for example, the particular focus of charitable organisations and employment levels in charities. This research and gathering of data is critical in terms of informing decision making and policy."
The report analyses registered charities under a number of categories. Some of the headline findings are:
€4.5 billion of income was reported by organisations on the Register of Charities. Indecon estimates that if account is taken of organisations that did not report their financial data, this figure could rise to €6 billion (equal to 5.8% of GDP);
Just 2.8% of charities reported income of over €0 million, but they accounted for 79.3% of the total income of registered charities. Hospitals and other health organisations (€.1 billion) and higher education and research organisations (just under € billion) report the highest income within the sub-sectors used in the report;
In contrast, over half of registered charities had an income of less than €50,000.
Indecon estimates there are 188,714 people employed in charitable organisations;
The majority of these (79%) are employed by charities with reported income of over €0 million. Over 55,000 are estimated to work in hospital and other healthcare organisations, with 38,000 in higher education and research organisations;
More than half (53%) of charity employees are in registered charities supported by Government expenditure.
Indecon's estimate for household charitable donations in 2018 is €50 million;
The average weekly household donation in 2015 was €.75.
The Indecon report is the first piece of research commissioned by the Charities Regulator as part of its function to publish information concerning charities. Mr Farrelly said the report's findings would assist the Regulator in its work to monitor and regulate charities in a proportionate manner, and feed into the creation of its next strategic plan.
"The research will also help donors, beneficiaries and the public to broaden and deepen their understanding of the role of charities in modern Ireland," he said. The Charities Regulator also hopes the report will facilitate the development of evidence-based public policy to support charities in Ireland.
The report notes that its findings have potentially important implications which should be considered by the Charities Regulator and by policymakers. It points to the need for:
Infrastructures to support volunteering in registered Irish charities, particularly in the 18-34 age groups;
Infrastructures to increase and support philanthropy and donations to Irish charities;
Regulation which recognises the diversity of registered Irish charities. It needs to be particularly sensitive to the large number of volunteer-led, low income and grassroots charities.

* Induced expenditure is the expenditure relating to the income of households who are employed in, or whose jobs are supported by, the expenditure of charitable organisations in Ireland.

Roark, Blue Jays agree to 2-yr deal (source)
By Keegan Matheson @KeeganMatheson
SAN DIEGO -- The Blue Jays have agreed to terms with right-hander Tanner Roark, a source confirmed to MLB.com, their first notable move in free agency as they work to fill their rotation. It's a two-year deal worth $24 million, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand. Toronto's agreement with Roark
SAN DIEGO -- The Blue Jays have agreed to terms with right-hander Tanner Roark, a source confirmed to MLB.com, their first notable move in free agency as they work to fill their rotation. It's a two-year deal worth $24 million, a source told MLB.com's Mark Feinsand.
Toronto's agreement with Roark was first reported by Shi Davidi and Ben Nicholson-Smith of Sportsnet and has not yet been made official by the club.
Roark has been a target for the Blue Jays throughout the free-agent process because of his durability and reliability, something the club covets after a season that saw them roll out 21 starters, including plenty of young rookies and openers. Roark, 33, has made 30 or more starts in each of the past four seasons, posting a 3.99 ERA over that span.
"It's not that we went into this free-agent season, or this offseason, thinking that we have to get guys who have only been durable, but that is a very important piece to the equation in almost every starting pitching category," general manager Ross Atkins said Wednesday.
After spending the first six years of his career with the Nationals, Roark was traded to the Reds prior to the 2019 season. He made 21 starts for Cincinnati and was later dealt to the A's at the July Trade Deadline. He has made three career playoff appearances, all for the Nationals.
While this represents a first step for the Blue Jays, one which raises their floor, there remains a need for upside that the club has said it still plans to address. The group of young starters, including No. 1 prospect Nate Pearson (No. 10 prospect in MLB), will provide some of that, but the Blue Jays are still expected to be active with other free-agent starters.
Roark joins a Blue Jays rotation with Chase Anderson, who was acquired via trade earlier this offseason from the Brewers. Veteran Matt Shoemaker has an inside track on a rotation spot and Trent Thornton earned the same with a full 2019 in the Blue Jays' rotation, but plenty of opportunity remains for their internal options and external candidates.
"We're thinking about adding to our pitching, adding to our depth. We'll continue to do that," Atkins said. "There seems to be opportunity at different areas of the market. There's trade opportunities, there's free-agent opportunities."

Starring Zac Ephron as a young man overcome with grief by the death of his brother, which moves up from its original October release date. Efron in the summer makes (more) sense, which hopefully means that the "Adjustment" adjustment isn't a bad omen.
The latest from Kevin James was due out in October, but apparently scored so well with test audiences that the studio pushed it back to July 8, 2011, when it could really rake in the dough. It's funny cuz it's true and it's sad cuz it's true.
Other release dates out today are for the Sundance hit "Catfish" on Sept. 17; M NIght Shaymalan's "The Night Chronicles: Devil" on Feb. 11; Ron Howard's "Cheaters" (supposedly) starring Jennifer Connelly, Winona Ryder, Jennifer Garner, Vince Vaughn and Kevin James, on Jan. 14; and from executive producer James Cameron it's "Sanctum," a 3D adventure about a team of divers trapped in an undersea cave, coming out March 4.


Nothing much going on. I'm still waiting for the final contract for that ten-book deal I was talking about, that is, for nine of my back-list books plus my new novel Million Mile Road Trip. Meanwhile I'm revising Million Mile Road Trip to the tune of maybe five thousand corrections…that is nearly twenty per page across three hundred pages. Making it better no doubt.
Meanwhile you can still buy the old Transreal Books editions of those nine backlist books.
Here's some recent photos, in no particular order or higher meaning.

Awesome ping-pong table at the Garage Bar on 2nd street in the NuLu district of Louisville, KY. That's a crushed car under the table.
Wideangle shot of the old SFMOMA entrance hall. I don't really like the changes they've made to the building for the expansion. The elevators are confusing, and there's no longer a good, big , reasonably priced cafe. Also it's always too crowded now.
Giant bat at the Louisville Slugger factory/museum on 2nd Street in Louisville. I toured this place in the third grade. They didn't have the big bat then.

Q: Are we the last group that needs to be settled before AS and VX are one?
A: It depends on what you mean by "settled." The dispatchers, who are represented by the Transport Workers Union (TWU), and the mechanics, who are represented by the Aircraft Mechanics Fraternal Association (AMFA), still do not have ratified agreements. However, most labor groups have yet to achieve full operational integration. You can view management's Labor and Integration subsite (SSL required) for more info.

LEAD: Trader held over export of military-usable trucks to N. Korea+
By The Associated Press | May 18, 2009
KOBE, May 19 (Kyodo) — (EDS: ADDING INFORMATION AT 8TH, 9TH, 13TH GRAFS)
A trader was arrested Tuesday on suspicion of attempting to export to North Korea via South Korea two large tanker trucks that can be converted into launch pads for ballistic missiles, police said.
The suspect was identified as Chong Rin Chae, 50, a South Korean national, who runs a trading house and uses the Japanese name of Tadao Morita.
Chong, a resident of Maizuru, Kyoto Prefecture, on the Sea of Japan coast, has denied the allegations, the police said.
The police said exports of such trucks from Japan are restricted under the foreign exchange and trade law because they can be converted into military equipment, such as vehicles for transporting and launching missiles. Traders must apply for permission to export products that can be converted for military use.
Investigations showed that Chong allegedly shipped the two used tanker trucks to the stopover port of Busan in South Korea for export to North Korea from Kobe port in Japan on Jan. 28 last year without gaining permission from the minister of economy, trade and industry, the police said. Each truck is capable of carrying about 12 tons.
However, no permission from the trade minister is required to export such goods to South Korea, one of 26 countries which Japan believes apply their own strict controls and are exempted from Japan's export regulations.
The police said this was the first known case of illegal exports of goods that can be converted for military use through one of such unrestricted countries.
Chong originally attempted to export the trucks to North Korea through Dalian port in northeastern China but changed the nominal destination to Busan after the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry asked him to apply for permission, the police said.
He then attempted to send the trucks to North Korea as transit cargo without being unloaded at Busan port. But South Korean customs authorities did not allow the trucks to be sent to the North, the police said.
The two trucks are currently being held in South Korea at the request of the Japanese ministry, they said.
The foreign exchange and trade law sets penalties of up to five years of imprisonment, a fine of up to 2 million yen or both for those who conduct such transactions without obtaining permission.
Chong's trading house deals in secondhand motor vehicles and engaged in transactions with North Korea before Japan imposed economic sanctions on the North in response to its nuclear test in October 2006, the police said.
The importer of the trucks is a North Korean trading house which the Japanese trade ministry designates as a foreign firm suspected of being involved in the development of weapons of mass destruction, such as missiles, the police said.

Q: Water to fill a swimming pool (calc 3) A circular swimming pool with a diameter of 20 meters has a plane floor that is
horizontal going from north to south, but at constant incline going from east to west, with the lowest point 7 meters below the rim of the pool and the highest point of the floor at 5 meters from the rim of the pool. Determine the amount of water needed to fill the pool to its rim.
I really have no idea where to start on this problem, I can't seem to picture it in my head. I imagine I am going to have to use cylindrical or spherical coordinates in setting up a integral but I don't know where to start.
Thanks in advance

A: Without integration and by simple geometry:
$$V=V_1+V_2=\pi R^2h_1+\frac12\cdot \pi R^2h_2=\pi \cdot 10^2\cdot 5+\frac12\cdot \pi \cdot 10^2\cdot 2=600\pi.$$

Norrell Corporation
3535 Piedmont Road Northeast
Web site: http://www.norrell.com
Incorporated: 1961 as Southeastern Personnel
Sales: $1.3 billion (1997)
Stock Exchanges: NYSE
Ticker Symbol: NRL
SICs: 7363 Help Supply Services; 6794 Patent Owners & Lessors
Though it is best known as a temporary agency, Norrell Corporation offers a wide variety of services. In 1996, the company began using the term "Strategic Workforce Management" to describe the range of resources available under its corporate umbrella, including staffing, outsourcing, and professional services. Working with more than 19,000 clients in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, Norrell staffs offices, provides outsourcing for functions ranging from accounting to shipping, and—through various corporate divisions—addresses areas such as home health care and call center management. Thus the company is able to offer its clientele—which includes both individuals and large corporations such as IBM and UPS—a large and varied package of services. For its temporary workers, who numbered 236,000 in 1997, Norrell offers competitive benefits and an array of job assignments that can last for one day or many years.
The Early Years as Southeastern Personnel
Born February 16, 1936, Guy Millner came from an entrepreneurial line. His father, Jack, operated a used furniture store and a service station north of Daytona Beach, Florida, and Millner worked at the station pumping gas during his high school years. Yet it was his mother, Nell, who truly inspired his business ambitions with her success selling magazine subscriptions over the telephone.
Millner later described himself as a "skinny, gawky kid," and in 1996 told a group of minority business people, "I was, in my context, the underdog. I was the skinny kid, never in the clique. Probably that did more to develop me than any influence in my life. I developed an ambitious hunger to succeed because success didn't come easy to me." Millner paid his way through Florida State University with a pair of business operations. He sold birthday cakes to classmates' parents, contacting the parent just prior to their son's or daughter's birthday and arranging to deliver the cakes. He also sold cookware door-to-door, using skills he learned from motivational speaker Zig Ziglar. Working thirty hours a week, he still managed to maintain a 2.75 grade point average, and graduated in 1958 with a degree in political science.
After college, Millner attended Navy basic training, and served eight years in the Naval Reserve. In November 1961, having moved to Atlanta, he founded a company called Southeastern Personnel to help college graduates find jobs. His was the first company of its kind in the southeastern United States, and indeed the temporary services industry itself was a new phenomenon. The latter had its roots in World War II, when women went to work filling jobs vacated by men who had gone to war, a phenomenon symbolized by illustrator Norman Rockwell's character "Rosie the Riveter." The first major temporary agency was Kelly Services, founded in Detroit, Michigan, in 1946; for many years thereafter, temporary services constituted a small-scale industry devoted to placing clerical workers in short-term jobs such as that of a typist or file clerk.
In time, the industry grew by leaps and bounds, and Millner's company grew with it. From the beginning, he had a vision for that growth, and developed a number of unusual work habits. He began clipping articles from business magazines, creating an extensive resource library on various companies in order to track their growth and methods. He also began eating two lunches a day—soup at one, salad at the other—because he believed that mealtimes provided one of the best opportunities for meetings. "I've sat with him on a couple of Thursday afternoons when he didn't know whether he'd be able to make the payroll on Friday," a friend told the Atlanta Journal and Constitution in 1996. "But he didn't know he was in a start-up business. He was sure he was in the process of building a major corporation."
Southeastern Becomes Norrell in 1963
In 1963, Millner purchased Norrell Personnel Services, a tiny Atlanta-based clerical employment agency which had only one full-time employee. Soon afterward, he renamed his own company Norrell Southeastern Corporation. At that point, the company had expanded its services to include placement of light industrial workers as well as clerical workers. In 1965, sales reached $1 million.
Norrell Southeastern became the first company in the temporary services industry to franchise its operations, which it did in 1966. Thus it was able to reach new markets, and it began to grow beyond its Atlanta base with eleven company-owned locations and one franchise. Due to its increasing geographic expansion, Millner decided to drop the "Southeastern" from his company's name, and in 1972 the company became Norrell Corporation.
Sales reached the $10 million mark in 1973, and by 1976—when they hit $15 million—Norrell had thirty-two company-owned locations and ten franchises. Three years later, in 1979, the company created a special franchise division to focus on expansion, and to serve the needs of franchisees.
Growth in the 1980s
In 1980, Norrell opened fourteen offices, bringing its total number of locations to 114. The following year, it created a subsidiary and another line of services through the establishment of Norrell Health Care, Inc. Also in 1981, having expanded throughout the United States, Norrell began operating in Canada, and in 1987 would open its first Canadian franchise, in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The 1980s held much more in store for Norrell, which experienced tremendous growth during the decade. In 1981, Norrell undertook the first in a series of acquisitions that would continue into the 1990s. In that year, it acquired three different health care staffing companies: Medical Team, East Coast Healthcare, and Adana, the last of which was a California-based corporation. Two years later, in 1983, it purchased Accurate Temporary Services.
Norrell was growing rapidly—in part through acquisitions, and in part through expansion from within. By 1983, revenues had reached $100 million, and in 1986 they were close to $230 million. In that year, Norrell purchased Workforce, bringing its total to number of company-owned locations to 293, with an additional 90 plus franchises. Also in 1986, the company celebrated twenty-five years of operations since its foundation as Southeastern Personnel.
The Atlanta Business Chronicle noted the milestone with an article bearing the headline "A Few Clouds on Norrell's Silver Anniversary." But the clouds turned out to be small; one of these minor worries was what Millner called a "flat" growth rate of 15 percent. "Flat?" asked Michael Pousner of the Atlanta Business Chronicle. "Most companies brag about 15 percent growth." Pousner went on to say of Millner, "indeed, if the tall, slim physical fitness buff is worried he doesn't show it. He feels that his company has kept abreast of some important trends that are going to lead it to renewed success in its next 25 years." Among those trends were the growth of temporary healthcare services; the use of "facility staffing," by which a company might replace an entire department with temporary employees; and the increasing numbers of mothers taking temporary jobs rather than incur the difficulties of putting their children in day care while they worked full-time.
By the late 1980s, business was booming at Norrell Corporation. "You can't miss the bright blue billboard on Peachtree Road," wrote Judith Schonbak in Business Atlanta. "... The words 'fast temporary relief accompany a picture of two white marble tablets fizzing in a glass of water. [But] In this case, relief is not an antacid"; rather, the billboard campaign was just one example of Norrell's advertising. In all, the company spent $2 million on ads in 1986, including a radio spot with former talk show host and announcer Dick Cavett.
In 1987, the year it opened its first Canadian franchise, Norrell acquired London Temporary Services and American Temporaries. The next year it introduced BOSS—its Branch Office Support System—which provided a computerized database for matching up clients with temporary personnel. Also in 1988, Norrell acquired Cosmopolitan Care, and in 1990 it began a new decade by signing an agreement with Sears to provide outsourcing services.
An Expanding Vision in the Early 1990s
According to research by The Omnicorp Group, in the decade between 1986 and 1996 the staffing industry—as the temporary services industry was increasingly called—tripled in size, from annual revenues of $10.4 billion to $36.9 billion. By the year 2005, this research indicated, it would grow to a $75 billion-a-year industry. Therefore, the local, regional, and national staffing companies would have to tailor their services to a changing market. For this reason, Norrell began to broaden the range of services it offered in the 1990s.
Company Perspectives:
As Strategic Workforce Management grows in importance to businesses and organizations worldwide, we expect Norrell to continue its leadership through innovative, client-centered thought and action.
At the core of the company's business was traditional staffing. The early 1990s, however, saw an economic recession which forced U.S. companies to cut their payroll, and Norrell responded to this by expanding into outsourcing. Under its 1990 agreement with Sears, Norrell took over management of office operations at the retail giant's Chicago headquarters. The functions covered were non revenue-producing, and included mail-room, photocopying, switchboard, shipping and receiving, and secretarial operations. The result for Sears, Norrell reported, was an annual savings of 30 percent over the cost of those operations under the traditional in-house situation.
In 1991, Norrell introduced a second component (after BOSS) to its quality system for matching clients and temporary employees. This was "Exact Match", which matched employees and clients just as BOSS did, but also screened temporary employment candidates. In the following year, Norrell established Tascor as a joint venture with IBM Corporation. Tascor, which later became a wholly owned Norrell subsidiary, assumed responsibility for administrative support functions ranging from telephone coverage to desktop publishing.
Also in 1992, Norrell added vendor consolidation to its range of services with the establishment of MVP, or Master Vendor Partnering. MVP helps corporations such as MCI and Equifax—some of the first customers for this service—to consolidate the number of vendors they deal with on a regular basis. Near the end of the 1990s, Norrell had over 100 MVP clients.
Strategic Workforce Management and the Turn of the Century
In 1993, as part of an effort to tighten its bottom line, Norrell divested most of its 55-location Health Care Division, though it retained Norrell Health Care, Inc. The latter provided home health care services ranging from cooking to the monitoring of nursing homes' compliance with insurance company regulations. Also in that year, the company introduced another component to its employee training and skills-matching system—"Matchware"—a skills assessment and office automation training software system.
Norrell's revenues reached the $500 million mark in 1993, and in the following year the company announced an initial public offering of its stock at $7 per share. It began listing on NASDAQ under the symbol NORL, and in 1995 switched to the New York Stock Exchange, where it traded under the symbol NRL. The company received the Ford Ql Quality Supplier Award in 1994, and in 1995 earned the Arthur Andersen Enterprise Award for best business practices.
The mid-1990s saw a number of acquisitions and joint ventures, as well as the formation of new divisions. In 1994, Norrell entered a joint venture with Ernst & Young, and in 1995 it bought The Executive Speaker, an Atlanta firm which taught public speaking skills to corporate clients. Also purchased was Liken Temporary Services. Norrell Financial Staffing, specializing in placement of accountants and other financial personnel, was formed. In 1996, Norrell formed NorCross, a call-center management service, as a joint venture with The Cross Country Group, a Boston-based company. It also entered into a joint venture with Harvard Ventures called CallTask, and acquired Valley Staffing and Accounting Resources.
The year 1996 was a big one for Atlanta, which hosted the Centennial Olympic Games, and it was big for Norrell as well. The company's stock split, and by the end of the year, it had revenues of $1 billion, with 268 company-owned locations and 133 franchises. That year, Norrell became involved in information technology services, offering technology consulting, project management, software development, documentation services, systems planning, and other services. With such a wide array of packages available to the customer, the company sought to offer bundles of services tied to the clients' needs, and the result was Strategic Workforce Management. Under this system, Norrell diagnosed problems in a company's workforce, joined company management in planning and/or implementation of services, and took responsibility for results.
For Millner himself, however, 1996 was not a year of triumph, as it marked his second failed bid for elective office. He had long had political aspirations, and to many observers possessed the skills of a politician. Despite these skills, Millner failed to win election to the state governor's seat in a 1994 race against Democratic incumbent Zell Miller. Had Millner won—it was a very close race—he would have been Georgia's first Republican governor since Reconstruction. In 1993, he had stepped down as Norrell CEO to campaign full time, but retained the title of chairman.
In 1996, during his campaign to fill the seat vacated by retiring Senator Sam Nunn, Kathey Alexander of the Atlanta Journal and Constitution observed that "underestimating the need to appeal personally to voters" had cost him the earlier election. Therefore Millner began getting out of the office more, in order to meet more voters. Still, he failed to win an election over Democrat Max Cleland, who had been a member of President Jimmy Carter's administration.
' This man is portrayed as a high-powered businessperson who doesn't have a heart," Mary Ann Schrecengost told the Atlanta paper. Former principal of Cedar Grove High School in financially depressed south DeKalb County, Schrecengost had personally observed Millner's generosity: he had provided funding for college scholarships, and worked with troubled youth. To ensure that word got out about himself, in October 1997 Millner stepped down as chairman to campaign again for the state governor's seat in 1998, when Governor Miller would leave office. Nonetheless, Millner retained ownership of about 35 percent of the shares of Norrell.
Just as the 1994 governor's race had featured a confusing set of names—Millner vs. Miller—the top leadership of Norrell had also included the same tongue-twisting mixture until Millner's departure in 1997. Norrell's Miller was C. Douglas Miller, who became CEO and chairman upon Millner's departure from those two offices. Miller was considering the possibility of expanding Norrell's operations overseas; but ultimately he would not make significant alterations to the formula that had established Norrell as a company with 50,000 temporary employees on assignment throughout North America on any given workday.
In 1997, Norrell made two more acquisitions, Comtex Information Systems and Houston-based M. David Lowe Staffing Services. Fortune magazine named the Norrell Staffing Services business group as one of the nation's top ten temporary help companies, to its "Most Admired Companies" list in 1998.

Excuse me for repeating some old faves here, but when you find good skincare you can't help but go on and on about it until you've got the whole world and their mother trying it out.
Now I know we all have different skin types, but there are a few products I've tested over the years that I feel work great across the board, with most of them suited for all skin types and are able to take care of specific concerns we all have trouble with, without causing too much disruption (plus they're cruelty-free and vegan) so what's not to love or want to try?!
Pai Camellia and Rose Gentle Hydrating Cleanser – This Pai cleanser does is what it says on the bottle – a gentle hydrating dream, perfect for every skin type as it has a blend of oils and buttery emulsifiers that cleanse, exfoliate, hydrate, and remove every bit of grime and makeup in your pores. It's helped to brighten and balance my complexion whilst also providing necessary hydration, plus it's got all the nice natural ingreds in it that even the most sensitive skin can get on with!
Nyasa Luminosity Serum – Pricey but perfecting, this serum is great for either additional exfoliation if you have scars or blemishes, or as a daily renewal if you have dry to normal skin. It boosts brightness, softens wrinkles, and increases cellular turnover for a better complexion long-term, and also contains MSM which is great for inflammation.
Oskia Renaissance Cleanser – I don't know if anyone's ever heard of this cleanser as it's pretty underground and new? Joking of course, it's my ol'fave Oskia and what would a skincare post be if their famous cleanser wasn't on it? This really is one of those miracle cleansers, the pumpkin enzymes help to renew skin and make it bright, the balmy texture is like a spa treatment on your skin, and it purifies and nourishes deep down to totally transform the complexion. Have I convinced you yet?
Nyasa Midnight Feast Night Balm – Finally to end it all is this glorious night balm which has lasted me months and is still doing good work; Midnight Beast again contains MSM like Oskia and the serum to shrink inflammation and prevent spots, plus it encourages cellular turnover, strengthens skin elasticity, and locks in hydration for more hours so your skin is always happy and hydrated!

'Pawn Stars' helped former Washington lineman Mark May recover missing Super Bowl rings
Longtime Washington lineman Mark May's lost Super Bowl rings turned up earlier this month at the famous "Pawn Stars" pawn shop in Las Vegas. (Owen C. Shaw/Getty Images)
Former Washington Redskins lineman Mark May lost his two Super Bowl rings earlier this year after spending the night in a Phoenix-area hotel. He thought they were gone forever.
It had been months, and the two iconic rings from Washington's Super Bowl wins in 1983 and 1988 hadn't surfaced.
Earlier this month, though, May's rings turned up.
Police arrested Marcel Behnert in early July after he attempted to pawn May's one-of-a-kind rings at the Gold & Silver Pawn in Las Vegas — the pawn shop made famous on the popular History Channel show "Pawn Stars," according to ABC15.

May last wore his two rings at a charity event in Scottsdale, Arizona, in February, and stayed the night at a hotel. Shortly after he arrived back home, May realized that his rings and watches were missing.
He called the hotel, which immediately started looking for the jewelry. In April, per the report, hotel staff found his rings and watches in the room safe that he had used. So, the staff brought the jewelry to Behnert, the hotel's lead engineer.
The hotel, though, never contacted May.
Instead, Behnert drove up to Las Vegas and attempted to sell the rings together for $12,000 at perhaps the most famous pawn shop in the country — something that raised several red flags.
"I asked the pawn broker how much the guy was looking for, and he told me the amount, and my first reaction was, 'Each?' And he goes, 'No, for both of them,'" Gold & Silver general manager Andy Zimmerman said, via ABC15. "Given what he was looking for, I thought that doesn't have a good sign to it. So I told my pawn broker, 'Go back out there and counter, and see what he does.'
"We countered at a lower price, and he accepted it, which led me to believe even further that there was a problem."
Zimmerman, per the report, then contacted police in both Las Vegas and Mesa, Arizona. They arranged for Behnert to return to the pawn shop the next day, thinking he was going to close the deal and sell the rings. That's when police arrested him.
"All we were interested in was getting Mr. May his rings back," Zimmerman said, via ABC15. "The neat thing about a championship ring is it has the person's name on it, so it makes it a little easier for us to do our due diligence."
May played in the league from 1981-1993, most notably with the Redskins before two short stints with the San Diego Chargers and Arizona Cardinals at the end of his career. The one-time Pro Bowler and former Pittsburgh standout also worked as a college football analyst at ESPN for more than 15 years.
The 59-year-old said he will pick up his rings and watches — which were found in a safe in Behnert's home — next week. Behnert, per the report, has been charged with theft and trafficking in stolen property.
Thankfully, May said, the "Pawn Stars" stars asked questions when the rings showed up.
"When someone comes in like that, they smell a rat if you don't have a receipt or if you don't have a story or proof of ownership," May said, via ABC15. "Once [the pawn shop] smelled a rat, they turned it over to Diamond Don, and he's like, 'No, I know Mark May. I know that he's not pawning his rings to give them to some guy.'
"The bottom line of the story is the integrity of the guys on 'Pawn Stars' for what they do and their due diligence. When you watch their show, they say, 'If you don't have proof, we don't want it.'"

UCI rules that Emily Bridges cannot compete in British national omnium championships
British Cycling calls for 'coalition' after last-minute decision on trans rider's eligibility.
March 31, 2022 Matilda Price

Emily Bridges, a cyclist, and trans woman, will not compete in this weekend's British national omnium championships after British Cycling's initial decision to allow her to race was overturned by the UCI.
Bridges was permitted to race in the event under British Cycling's transgender and non-binary participation policy, but the governing body said on Wednesday that they have been informed by the UCI that "under their current guidelines Emily is not eligible to participate in this event."
Bridges, 21, began hormone therapy last year and meets British Cycling's — and the UCI's — stipulation that trans athletes must have a testosterone level of 5nmol/L for at least 12 months before their first race in the women's category and therefore was permitted to compete at the weekend.
Having continued to race against men since coming out as transgender in 2020, the national omnium championships were set to be Bridges' first time racing in the female category.
But according to The Guardian, the UCI overruled the decision on an administrative basis: Bridges is still officially registered as a male cyclist and thus must wait until her current British Cycling and UCI licenses expire before she can compete as a woman.
British Cycling said they acknowledge the UCI's decision, but "fully recognize [Emily's] disappointment with today's decision".
"We have been in close discussions with the UCI regarding Emily's participation this weekend and have also engaged closely with Emily and her family regarding her transition and involvement in elite competitions," the governing body said.
They went on to call for more clarity surrounding the participation of trans athletes in cycling, asking for a coalition to "share, learn and understand more about how we can achieve fairness in a way that maintains the dignity and respect of all athletes."
"We know that some of these conversations are happening in pockets of the sporting world, but we want to encourage all sporting governing bodies, athletes, the transgender and non-binary athlete community, the Government and beyond to come together and find a better answer.
"Across sports, far more needs to be done, collectively, before any long-term conclusions can be drawn."
Though the UCI rescinded Bridges' eligibility to compete on the basis of her rider ID, president David Lappartient told the BBC he was concerned that the required testosterone level of 5nmol/L — which the UCI halved from 10nmol/L in March 2020 — was not low enough.
"I'm a little bit worried that this [transgender participation in sport] will affect the fairness of competition," he said. "I believe that maybe the situation we have now, of the rules of five nanomoles per liter, is probably not enough."
"When I speak with some professors in medicine, some specialists, they say, 'yes, your body probably has a memory already of what you are and so there is maybe some advantages'"
Lappartient added that the UCI "fully recognizes the right of people to make that transition" but said he also understands concerns from other female athletes: "We were challenged from all parts."

SHIELD Casting update as Ming-Na Wen signs up
HometvSHIELD TV Series from ABC
Most people will recognize Ming-Na Wen from playing the hottie in ER but the game geeks will know her as the voice behind Dr Aki Ross from the Final Fantasy movie Spirits Within, Street Fighter the movie and Stargate Universe.
Ming-Na Wen is the first to join the cast of SHIELD since we found out Agent Coulson would be returning for the series from beyond the dead possibly indicating it will be a prequel to the Avengers movie.
She will be playing an integral part in the series as the teams weapons expert Agent Melinda May. The role is important to the series as they will be experimenting with all sorts of alien technology and whatever is left from the Iron Man movies too.
The series is going to be co written and directed by Joss Whedon who has an amazing success with TV from Buffy to Firefly and knows what fans want to see in a TV series. HE has a well known history of making epic female roles in his series so Ming-Na Wen could have a lot to live up to in the series.
Compared to the Hulk TV series the SHIELD one seems to be making a lot more progress although we are still waiting to see if it will get a late 2013 release date or sometime bid 2014. Either way it's going to be an epic series and if Marvel can keep the franchise together they will dominate the movie and TV world for another decade.
Thanks to Deadline for the news.

Is there any way I can do that for free? M4v converting programs are expensive.
Re: How can I watch m4v video files bought from Itunes on an andriod device?
I've found a solution. It was a bit of trouble but at least it's free.
Itunes has copy protection compatible with its products called DRM. In order to play Itunes media files on non-apple devices, you need to remove this DRM.
I just follow the instruction here.
The download links on the two web pages don't work anymore but you can find all of the programs on google. Installing them, I came across a few minor problems but all the solutions can also be found on google.

« When You Required Emergency situation Finances, you Could Make Payday Loans Job for You.
It's been called a lot of different points– sheetrock, gypsum board, wallboard, and, of course, drywall. It's come to be the most popular form of wall surface emerging, promptly replacing the plaster located in older residences. Below are some essentials from the exact start to its last surface.
How Do You Decide on an Appropriate Panel?
Sheetrock comes in 8-10′ panels that are normally a 1/2″ in size, though it might be a little bit thicker (5/8″) for ceilings, basements, or garages. Given that it's created of paper, it can be vulnerable to moisture damages, so for wet areas of the residence you may intend to spend for eco-friendly board: it's waterproof and could endure higher levels of humidity. You can even buy cement board, which is far more insusceptible to wetness. Make sure when you speak to the professional that you give them a good concept regarding the size of the area and its place in the home so they know which material to choose and exactly how much to make use of.
Skeletal Property: Lumber or Metal Studs?
As soon as the panels are selected it's now time to hang them up. But what do they hang on? Puts simply, where to do walls originated from? Prior to mounting plaster board, a wall surface structure should be set up. Though it's eventually covered with sheetrock, framework is the most important come in the process, so the materials you pick are equally as essential.
Wood Studs: Wood is the a lot more popular framework product since it's sturdier and less pricey. Plus, it doesn't transfer energy and for that reason makes a better insulator than steel products. The main reason it's made use of so frequently is due to its easy installation: most contractors are utilized to working with lumber and as a result it is the favored procedure.
Steel Studs: Nevertheless, steel products come with their very own benefits when reviewed to timber. Throughout installment, it's light and forgiving: since it's simply screwed with each other, if a mistake is made it's quickly fixed without wasting products. Plus, it's environmentally friendly when it comes to saving our natural resources.
Final Finishes: Textured Drywall or Smooth Drywall?
As soon as the panels are nailed or screwed to the framing, the wall surface is complete. It's time to complete things up. Depending on whether you desire wallpaper, paint, or unique synthetic surfaces, you need to produce either distinctive drywall or smooth drywall.
Textured Drywall: Textured drywall arrays from light to hefty, with both simple and complex grains. Textured drywall can be made coarser by adding granules (of foam, for circumstances) to the compound or paint.
Smooth Drywall: There are a number of kinds of level wall coating: for wallpaper (a layer of joint substance is applied and sanded) and for paint (which leaves a mild pebble coating). Many man-made painting effects call for a smoother coating as well.
Half-done Sheetrock: A lot of individuals elect to keep their wall surfaces half-done in garages or other job locations given that the appearance isn't as crucial and it minimizes expenses.
Video On How To Plaster Drywall Tutorial By Master Plasterer Chris.
If you are matching existing drywall and having it skillfully installed, it is necessary to let your solution professional understand the dimension and surface kind so a more exact quote could be delivered. Many specialists quote on the setup by the area, and they typically ask for a lot more for any sort of specialty surfaces. Always be aware of all choices available to you and ask for surface samples to prevent unintended shocks with the comprehensive job.

Jesse Kauffman
The German Occupation of Poland in World War I
As World War I dragged on into 1915, German armies along the Western Front settled into stalemate with entrenched British and French forces. But in the East the picture was quite different. The Kaiser's army routed the Russians, took possession of Polish territory, and attempted to create a Polish satellite state. Elusive Alliance delves into Germany's three-year occupation of Poland and explains why its ambitious attempt at nation-building failed.
Dubbed the Imperial Government-General of Warsaw, Germany's occupation regime was headed by veteran Prussian commander Hans Hartwig von Beseler. In his vision for Central Europe, Poland would become Germany's permanent ally, culturally and politically autonomous but bound to the Fatherland in foreign policy matters. To win Polish support, Beseler spearheaded the creation of new institutions including a Polish-language university in Warsaw, reformed the school system, and established democratically elected municipal governments. For Beseler and other German strategists, a secure Poland was essential to ensuring Central Europe against a threatening tide of nationalism and revolution.
But as Jesse Kauffman shows, Beseler underestimated the resistance to his policies and the growing hostility to occupation as Germany plundered Polish resources to fuel its war effort. By 1918, with the war over, Poles achieved independence. Yet it would not be long before they faced a second, far more brutal German occupation at the hands of the Nazis.

51 Detectives awarded for dismantling gangs
Klysha Best 0	19 November, 2020 12:19 pm
Fifty-one detectives were awarded for their dedication to duty in dismantling a number of gangs within the country under the Anti-Gang Legislation.
The officers were awarded during a brief ceremony held today, Thursday 19th November, 2020, at the Police Administration Building, Port-of-Spain.
The award is based on the success in dismantling three major gangs within the last three months. This represents a total of 18 gang members being charged under the Anti-Gang legislation from the Northern, North-Eastern, Port-of-Spain, and Western Divisions.
A total of 36 persons have been charged for the year thus far and 88 persons for the last six years for gang-related activities.
Speaking at the ceremony, Commissioner of Police, Gary Griffith, congratulated the officers for their extraordinary efforts in "pegging back gangs tremendously" which he said has resulted in a major reduction in gang-related activities and murders.
The CoP stressed that currently, the country is on a trajectory of a reduction of over 115 murders when compared to the same period last year, which may result in the murder toll staying well below 400.
He attributed this achievement to the good intelligence and structure and the detectives' dedication, discipline and productivity in the Anti-Gang Unit.
Commissioner Griffith assured that with the continued, aggressive efforts of the detectives, the Trinidad and Tobago Police Service (TTPS) will be certain to "clip the wings of criminals."
He asked the detectives to remain honest, brave and trustworthy in their service to God and country.
DCP (Ag), Intelligence and Investigations, McDonald Jacob, explained that the Anti-Gang Unit is now linking with the TTPS' Financial Investigations Bureau to enhance the approach in investigating gangs and crime enterprise activities.
Mr. Jacob said the intent is to maximise the use of the Civil Assets and Unexplained Wealth Act 2019 in investigations. This, he said, will ensure that all persons involved in gangs and criminal activities will be made to face the full brunt of the law.
The approach will also be coupled with the use of the Anti-Corruption Act to treat with white collar crime and other similar offences.
The awards were presented to the four team leaders on behalf of the 51 officers.

Three things that have become essential for daily life in India are English, mobile phones and Internet. Mobile Internet is not only a commodity but a lifestyle, it changed the way people communicate (Whatsapp), travel (Uber), order food (Zomato), stay (AirBnB), date (Tinder), study (Udacity), shop (Flipkart), protect their privacy (Leomaster) etc.
Every business is connected with the consumer through Internet. It will be interesting to look at the comparison between India, China & US in reference to mobile internet market.
Across the markets of India, US and China, IM tops the chart in terms of both the monthly downloads data and Monthly Active Users. In China, Wechat and QQ (used mostly by teenagers) hold a monopoly with 1 billion plus MAUs and downloads. The Chinese Twitter (Weibo) has 94 million MAUs, which makes them the third most popular app after Wechat and QQ. Not only this, but MOMO, a Chinese Flirting IM has almost 55 million MAUs and also they have listed themselves in NASDAQ last year.
However, the Indian IM market shows a deep diversification with multiple IMs in different segments. IM is a strategic product for Internet companies, which has been showcased by Whatsapp and Tencent by building a large user interface in China. Considering the nascent stage of mobile Internet in India, there is still potential for a new entrant.
As we know, Wechat and Line failed miserably, millions of dollars were wasted on marketing. It is the signification of the logic that mobile apps carry cultural attributes, not simply a technological product. Something that works here may not works there. Hike is a good attempt while Jio chat is also showing high trends.
Interestingly, in US market, people are more open to trying new products. Instagram and Snapchat have now joined the top four IM players with Facebook Messenger and Whatsapp being the top two. Some new IMs have also shown traction, like IMO and True Messenger from Sweden.
In both China and US, video apps category are positioned at number 2, whereas in India, it is on top 10. There might be a couple of reasons for it.
Internet download speed is the slowest among the countries we surveyed below. Metric is a combined download speed with mix of WiFi+2.5G+3G+4G. Similarly, among Wi-Fi+2.5G+3/4G, the share of WiFi is only 16% compared to over 60% from 2G.
The number of video content providers is low at this moment. The cost of cloud hosting of video content and the CDN cost are astronomically high. One might need the more data for the dedicated line and terabytes of cloud storage and a lap sum CDN cost for user to download video.
The monetization challenge- big brands shy away from using online videos as their primary marketing platform owing to the fact that the number of viewers are less as compared to TV.
This trend is universal with interesting insights to share.
In the last ten years, China has become more stable, since the consolidations have happened already; the bad experiences can be avoided by India startups. US, however, did show some advanced techniques for India to mimic.
Taobao has become an all-in-one platform with its huge user base , JD.com is lucky to be competitive with their differentiation. JD was initially an appliance and electronic item B2C seller. They have also built a significant logistic system which facilitates same day deliveries within city and the other day intercity. JD has become an alternative eCommerce platform for Chinese consumers who prefer quicker delivery and verified authentic products.
VIP.com is another online outlet. They have listed themselves on NASDAQ and seem to reach the ceiling after a rapid growth in stock price in the last few quarters.
Jumeiyoupin.com is a cosmetics platform, whereas Beibei is a platform for mothers to shop products for children.
For women, eCommerce is a lifestyle. It is a reactive responsive behavior like what they do with makeup everyday.
Customer Life Value (CLV) should be greater than Customer Acquisition Cost.
For this reason, marketplaces like Alibaba and Flipkart tend to do better than vertical eCommerce portals. Nonetheless, Women-fashion, baby products, cosmetics and lifestyle, are the best categories when it comes to vertical eCommerce.
eCommerce in the US has a new star- ContexLogic. As its name suggests, this company has a few eCommerce platforms like Wish, and Wish Local, Geek and Mama, whose collectively combined downloads are more than that of Amazon. They make recommendations based on AI and machine learning. Another area eCommerce firms should work on.
Yet another 'made in China' but popular in world example.
In China, there are mainly four or five of such apps. They collectively own 82 million MAU whereas in the US and India, such as apps remain top 3 with a number of them being photo editor, photo frame, photo collage, photo frame etc.
Such an app holds more popularity India and China than in US. A browser has two distinct features, which appeals to the Indian users.
It provides a navigation page, which aggregates the vertical content for users where user get an all-in-one interface for all they want namely- music, video, news, shopping, cricket etc.
In this arena, UC Browser has established a strong foothold since it was one of the first movers. Their "Surf it fast, Surf it all" positioning has made them famous. With the acquisition by Alibaba, it's having an even stronger back end and support. It is the most popular browser in India.
Opera versus UC; the gap is broadening day by day. UC has a tie up with internet.org and is going into the untapped rural market. UC's success shows a down to earth attitude by the Chinese mobile Internet companies, whereas US counterparts would prefer more innovation and stay in cloud. Like O2O, US Internet Company doesn't recognize its importance, while BAT in China have poured billions of dollars, fully engaged in competing for.
Looking forward, browser will be a significant product. The domain would see more serious players. Apart from UC, there will be three to four local players to share the market. Eagerly looking forward to see it happening.
For all the tools, mobile security is the one that has a technology barrier. Even in China, the total MAU for the security apps is 178 million. The demand for security apps has been generated by 360 security with their TV advertisements.
There is enough reason to believe that the demand for security apps is inflated with advertisement. Entrepreneurs should be conscious in entering into this segment.
These are the unique, indigenous, low technology but high adoption apps which request users to try other apps for accumulating points to exchange for talk time.
Such apps collectively had 6 million downloads in month of October in India. Increasingly, a lot of Internet companies have started to try this way of monetization.
Self promotion. They go viral with recommendations by friends.
Since the listed apps are paid app installs, these apps can generate revenue after paying the users.
As Peter Drucker once quoted, "no one can avoid the temptation of discounts and free", likewise, no one should avoid the opportunity of acquiring users at a low cost, especially when it is done without effort.
Locker app include screen locker, app lock, photo and video vault, caller apps etc. These apps neither have a strong demand in US nor in China. It might be due to cultural disparities and usage scenario. Their popularity show appetite for privacy in India. There is a company called Leomaster that has become popular with more than 100 million users till date, worldwide, with most of them based out of India.
For every entrepreneur, one of the most significant considerations is to build a business that is profitable. Digital Wallet companies are making money, because their business revolves around transactions itself. Alibaba owned Ant financial's valuation which surpassed Xiaomi's $45 billion to become one of the most valuable unlisted Chinese tech companies today. Ant financial owns the behemoth Zhi Fu Bao , the Chinese dominant digital wallet with 112,549,000 monthly active users. In India, Paytm seems to be on track. It is worthy to note that several companies like Didi (Chinese Uber) with $15.8 billion valuation might eventually turn digital wallets into a "bank" for monetization, means they will make users to deposit monthly, and utilize the short parked money for generating more money.
Music is among the top three content based apps chased on the internet. However, it has its own limitations. The biggest one being, its inability to accommodate advertisements. It is extremely difficult to show ads on music. When people listen music, they don't look at the screen. So, only way left for music apps will be to have a value added approach. Hardly anyone subscribes music in India. Mostly, people download music from pirated sites for free. Therefore, charge for the better quality music and keep it free only for the basic.
Looks like this market can't be played by small fish. In China, Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent all have their music apps, though they monetize from their other lines of business. For them this is a intermediary for ad hoc the huge users to somewhere of their property where monetizing users is easy. Or simply a brand building process to let user appreciate.
If content is monopolized, the content producer can build his or her own platform, channel, tools, and hardware and transform the landscape again. That is also the reason for the upstream integration becomes the necessity in the mobile industry. While apparently India mobile market has not reach that stage.
English has become such an important thing, without which a decent job can't be even dreamed of. Without English and mobile and Internet, life is incomplete in India.
India is on rise; the transformation that mobile Internet carriers is to eradicate information asymmetry, hence news apps should be on high demand.
News should be a low hanging fruit for India startup to access; we will see more burgeoning in this domain.
O2O concept was born in US and gets flourished in China and thereafter in India. The funny part is that when Meituan made a road show in US, it failed. As investors there does not seem to be convince by the crazy cash burning exercise in china. That comes from the difference between US and China, India .
America's business environment is established, no one would want to have a new shop and a coffee or even a donut, as it won't be accepted. The below graph shows the download with regards to the famous brand.
China and India are on the contrary, they at the early stage of retail and economic uplift. There is still a need of few offline to online platform to connect consumers with the business. Here with a graph for the O2O for food, O2O for groceries, O2O for doctors, O2O for rooms.
O2O business exists in the environment of India and China but doesn't guarantee the success for everyone. In fact, eventually only few can survive after consolidation, the ecommerce rationale holds true here as well, they won't be a platform only for food ordering. Users cannot have different apps for different purpose. That doesn't make sense. The shark will not allow the small players on the market; they will consolidate the market one day. Again the investor's money and entrepreneurs' endeavour will go in vain again.
Tools apps are still an easy bite for the entrepreneurs, among those, browsers, photography, security, affiliate are good direction to work on. But mobile startup opportunity leaves you an opportunity to be in, but it doesn't not provide a proper exit for you. You can use investor's money to start, and you should end up with charge on user or monetize your user, but such a scenario is really difficult. Tools application better to be localized with the real daily needs to be fulfilled, take for example of flashlight in US, it secured 3.6 million download per month, you may feel, what! America is a dark country? In reality, those flashlight are localized with SOS blink and more amber light to shine more further when outdoor, yes, outdoor usage is what unique in US. Hence a localized tools app is a real innovation.
eCommerce & O2O are the two segments where entrepreneurs should have a extra caution before venture. These markets are for crocodile, like what Max Ma used to call Alibaba as Yangtze crocodile in comparison with the Shark eBay. And please avoid the known mistakes, how about an idea of building an eCommerce portal for men, come on! Men are not the type of recurring buying users; a belt can be used couple of years.
Content production or Content recommendation is the golden egg. We shall realize that content is the ultimate thing that users are looking for on the Internet, service shall be fulfilled offline, product will be used in person. Only content can be consumed online.
Looking at the India mobile app landscape. It is still at nascent beginning with the primitive infrastructure and just-opened economy. With the lessons and experience from Chinese market and US's innovation and technology, the mobile market in India is just incredible. More to expect!
At this stage, the most confusing part of this case is: __What are the real identities of judicial officers (namely ZZZ/YYY/VVV, who must have power of jurisdiction over civilians of Santa Clara County, including everybody in Stanford University) handling Sebastian Thruns case and this criminal suspect Gabriele Schelers recanted testimony?
The point is: How could this campus atrocity case remain unclarified at judicial authorities for over 10 years? How did ZZZ/YYY/VVV rule this criminal case behind the scene? What had they done behind the scene; Why are they hiding from a victim as I am during these many years, despite my challenges to clarify the case with CONFRONTATION, all the time?
For years, I've witnessed fascism supporters jump out from every corner of the world, so here jump out another set, led by German media group Bertelsmann, with Scottish investment firm Baillie Gifford, Emerson Collective – a charitable organization run by Steve Jobs' widow Laurene Powell Jobs(who happens to be a member of Stanford Board of Trustees Chaired by Mr. Steven A. Denning, while Stanford Board of Trustees chaired by Mr. Steven A. Denning is leading a retaliatory fascism coup in Stanford University for sake of Sebastian Thrun) – and Google Ventures joining as new investors.
By the way, would anyone of the above people, e.g. Kay Krafft, chief executive of Bertelsmann Education Group, feel honored to be related to fascism cirmes via his/her support on Udacity cofounder Sebastian Thrun who is the center on fascism side in a war against fascism crimes?

Q: Dynamic views based on url ID with React Router V6 I'm doing a movie app that displays a list of movies, and when you click on a certain movie, it opens the movie view with more info about it. Currently, I learned how to do it with an older version of React Router and it went like this (I'm also using bootstrap):
<Route path="/movies/:movieId" render={({ match }) => {
  return
   <Col md={8}>
     <MovieView movie={movies.find(m => m._id === match.params.movieId)}
   </Col>
}}/>

The MovieView renders the movie depending on the movie requested by the URL as a Bootstrap Card element. I wanted to keep using this same concept, but updating it to React Router V6. I know that they removed Route props like match and so, but I wanted to know if I could still have this dynamic going on with the newer version.
I was able to update the main page which shows all movies on my database, and the code reads as follow with V6:
<Route exact path="/" element={
   movies.map(m => (
      <Col md={3} key={m._id}>
         <MovieCard movie={m} />
      </Col>
    ))
} />

But, as the MovieView requires the URL to match and ID, it doesn't work because I need the match to be defined.
If anyone knows a way to work around this I'd be very glad.
Thanks a lot!

A: You can create a wrapper component to read the movieId route path param via the useParams hook, do the filtering, and pass the movie prop.
Example:
import { useParams } from 'react-router-dom';

...

const MovieWrapper = () => {
  const { movieId } = useParams();

  return (
    <Col md={8}>
      <MovieView movie={movies.find(m => m._id === movieId)} />
    </Col>
  );
};

...
<Route path="/movies/:movieId" element={<MovieWrapper />} />


A complaint, jointly filed in U.S. District Court by three tribes, is challenging the permit issued to Rosemont Copper Company.
A complaint, jointly filed in U.S. District Court by the Tohono O'odham Nation, Pascua Yaqui Tribe and Hopi Tribe, is challenging the permit issued to Rosemont Copper Company. The company wants to excavate an open-pit mine in the Santa Rita Mountains near Tucson.
"The few short-term jobs that this mine will create are not worth the destruction that we will have to live with forever," Pascua Yaqui Tribal Chairman Robert Valencia said in a statement.
Thomas "Jay" Field, an Army Corps of Engineers spokesman, said Wednesday the agency has a policy of not commenting on pending litigation. A spokesman for Hudbay did not immediately return an email seeking comment.
