Why are Prices Going Up?
Pricing is a very strategic part of marketing and planning. And, yes, price is also one of the four P's and is usually referred to as a tactic. However, when an organization is setting strategic objectives, the price level is a critical factor that may be adjusted to help a company meet its objectives. However, raising prices can be difficult as consumers tend to balk at paying more for a product or service that they have had for years. Among companies raising prices are two affecting many college students: Netflix and Whole Foods.
In January, Netflix raised prices for its subscription plans by 18% to $13/month. The increase is intended to help Netflix cover increasing costs for original content and streaming services. Some of its highly-rated content includes "Bird Box," "Stranger Things," and "The Crown." According to Netflix, it has 10% of all U.S. TV screen time, or a billion hours each day.
In February, Whole Foods raised prices on hundreds of its products in order to cover increasing costs of inflation, including transportation, ingredients, and more. The price increases range from a few cents to several dollars, depending on the product and manufacturer.
Is it worth the price?
Group Activities and Discussion Questions:
Question students: Why are Netflix and Whole Foods raising prices? How does the price increase fit into the company's strategy? What environmental factors should be considered?
Show a video about Netflix price increase: https://mashable.com/video/netflix-raises-prices/?jwsource=cl#tzDtP.YOImq1
Discuss the six steps for pricing (determining objectives, estimating demand, determining cost/profit relationships, select price level, set list price, and make adjustments).
Discuss the various pricing models in class: demand-oriented, cost-oriented, profit-oriented, and competition-oriented.
Divide students into groups and have each group work on any/all of the six steps.
When setting the price level, assign each team a different model to use (demand-oriented, cost- oriented, etc.).

53rd Super Bowl (2019)
The Super Bowl has become one of the premier venues for marketers. The thrills, the chills, the excitement and surprises – and that's just the advertisements! At a cost of $5 million for 30 seconds of air time, the Super Bowl is also the most expensive advertising placement of any event or show. Add the costs of designing and producing ads, plus the integration into other marketing tactics, and a company can easily spend upwards of $6 million at a single event.
Love them or hate them, Super Bowl advertisements have become a talking point during and after the game. It's a big stage, and can also be a big risk. This year it had an audience of 98.2 million viewers and a 41.1 U.S. household rating in 49.3 million homes. While still large, this was the lowest viewing in 10 years. However, days later we are still watching ads, arguing about them, and measuring results.
Watch the ads – which ad is your favorite?
Bring up one of the Web sites that have all the Super Bowl ads: https://www.ispot.tv/events/2019-super-bowl-commercials
Divide students into teams. Have each team select a Super Bowl ad to analyze and present in class.
What is the target market, key message, and offer from the ad?
How does the ad integrate with a company's other advertisements?
Are the messages integrated with a company's Web site and social media?
As a class, after each commercial have students assign one to five stars for the advertisements. Which advertisement won the class vote?

A&W Canada: No more plastic straws
Look at the photo above. What do you notice about? Yes, it states that "Change is good." That's a good thing of course. But, notice what the entire sculpture is made out of – plastic straws! These are the last of A&W Canada's stock of plastic straws. The Canadian chain has been moving to paper straws over the last few months, and to celebrate the transition, it used its last 140,000 plastic straws to make the 35-foot sculpture.
Last summer, A&W Food Services of Canada promised to reduce landfill by eliminating the plastic straws. It was the first quick-service restaurant chain in North America to make such a bold promise to improve the environment. The company estimates that the change will keep 82 million plastic straws from littering the oceans and land.
The ban on the plastic straws is one part of the company's environmental initiatives which include food sources, packaging, energy, water usage, and waste.
Indeed, change IS good.
Discuss the impact of environmental concerns on companies.
What are companies doing about these concerns?
View A&W Canada's Web site values section: https://web.aw.ca/en/our-values
What does this move do for the company's brand?
Divide students into teams. Have each team research the environmental values of a competing fast-food restaurants (e.g., McDonalds', Wendy's, etc.)
How does A&W's commitment impact its positioning in the marketplace?

Q: url encoded forward slashes breaking my codeigniter app i'm trying to create a url string that works like this:
/app/process/example.com/index.html

so in other words,
/app/process/$URL

i then retrieve the url with
$this->uri->segment(3);

the forward slashes in the URL will of course be a problem accessing uri segments, so i'll go ahead and url encode the URL portion:
/app/process/example.com%2Findex.html

.. but now I just get a 404 saying ...
Not Found

The requested URL /app/process/example.com/index.html was not found on this server.

it appears that my url encoding of forward slashes breaks CI's URI parser.
what can i do to get around this problem?

A: One way to get around this problem would be to replace any forward slashes in your URL variable which you are passing in the URI segments with something that would not break the CodeIgniter URI parser.  For example:

$uri = 'example.com/index.html';
$pattern = '"/"';
$new_uri = preg_replace($pattern, '_', $uri);

This will replace all of your forward slashes with underscores.  I'm sure it is similar to what you are doing to encode your forward slashes.  Then when retrieving the value on the other page simply use something like the following:

$pattern = '/_/';
$old_uri = preg_replace($pattern, '/', $new_uri);

Which will replace all the underscores with forward slashes to get your old URI back.  Of course, you'll want to make sure whatever character you use (underscore in this case) will not be present in any of the possible URIs you'll be passing (so you probably won't want to use underscore at all).

A: I think the error message you are getting is not from codeigniter but from your web server.
I replicated this using Apache2 without even using CodeIgniter: I created a file index.php, and then accessed index.php/a/b/c - it worked fine. If I then tried to access index.php/a/b/c%2F I got a 404 from Apache.
I solved it by adding to my Apache configuration:
AllowEncodedSlashes On
See the documentation for more information
Once you've done this you might need to fiddle around with $config['permitted_uri_chars'] in codeigniter if it is still not working - you may find the slashes get filtered out

A: With CodeIgniter, the path of the URL corresponds to a controller, a function in the controller, and the parameters to the function.
Your URL, /app/process/example.com/index.html, would correspond to the app.php controller, the process function inside, and two parameters example.com and index.html:
<?php
class App extends Controller {
    function process($a, $b) {
       // at this point $a is "example.com" and $b is "index.html"
    }
}
?>

edit: In rereading your question, it seems like you want to interpret part of the URL as another URL. To do this, you need to write your function to take a variable number of arguments. To do this, you can use the functions func_num_args and func_get_arg as follows:
<?php
class App extends Controller {
    function process() {
        $url = "";
        for ($i = 0; $i < func_num_args(); $i++) {
            $url .= func_get_arg($i) . "/";
        }

        // $url is now the url in the address
    }
}
?>

A: Change your permitted_uri_chars index in config file
$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_\-';

Do you ever wake up in the morning thinking that you are old enough to not experience acne!? Think again. Unfortunately, acne can be found at any age for a variety of reasons. It is the hormonal changes that occur at all ages that cause these acne outbursts. There are several things that can be done at home to help solve acne problems.
1. Don't over wash! Washing with soap doesn't help acne. It can irritate the skin and make it worse.
2. Avoid refined sugar in your diet. Refined sugar causes insulin peaks that stimulate oil production in the skin and aggravates acne.
3. Don't overuse cosmetics. Many cosmetics have ingredients that make acne worse. As a general rule, wet makeup followed by pressed powders is the worst combination. It is better to use loose powders. Also, look for non-comedogenic cosmetics. These tend not to have ingredients that make acne worse.

American Society Slowly Accepting Homosexuals
by gwgraeme
To Jamaicans, who have been called the most homophobic people in the world, the growing acceptance of gays by mainstream America must seem repugnant – or at least odd. But the fact is there's no other fair way to deal with homosexuality.
Most mainstream scientists now agree that sexual orientation is not a matter of choice. People are born heterosexual or homosexual – or both or neither. They have no say in the matter.
To punish someone because of something Mother Nature decided is just not fair. It's like penalizing a person for being short. (Remember the fuss about the song, "Short People"?)
And it's not much better to force them to shut up about it as America's armed forces do. But this gag order is about to be lifted. In testimony at a recent Congressional hearing, America's top military man, Adm. Mike Mullen (photo at left), advocated letting gays and lesbians serve openly. Mullen said his experiences over the years have persuaded him that the integrity of these young men and women is damaged when they have to hide their sexual nature. And he added that the integrity of the armed forces is also damaged by the "don't ask, don't tell" policy now in effect.
Slowly, American politicians are accepting this simple truth. And they're not leading popular opinion; they're following the polls.
As New York Times columnist Frank Rich (photo below) explains:
A large majority of voters — between 61 percent and 75 percent depending on the poll — now share his (Mullen's) point of view. Most Americans recognize that being gay is not a "lifestyle" but an immutable identity, and that outlawing discrimination against gay people who want to serve their country is, as the admiral said, "the right thing to do."
It is also the most efficient thing to do. America's military strength is being severely impaired by the loss of gay and lesbian troops being forced out by the policy.
As Rich points out in his column, even the attack dogs of the "conservative" media are quietly accepting that the times they are a-changin'.
He noted that:
The right's noise machine was on mute. The Fox News report on Mullen's testimony was fair and balanced — and brief. The network dropped the subject entirely in the Hannity-O'Reilly hothouse of prime time that night. Only ratings-desperate CNN gave a fleeting platform to the old homophobic clichés. Michael O'Hanlon, an "expert" from the Brookings Institution, speculated that "18-year-old, old-fashioned, testosterone-laden" soldiers who are "tough guys" might object to those practicing "alternative forms of lifestyle," which he apparently views as weak and testosterone-deficient. His only prominent ally was the Family Research Council, which issued an inevitable "action alert" demanding a stop to "the sexualization of our military."
As America's understanding of sexuality increases, old prejudices are fading. But there's a long way to go. Same-sex marriage, which is considered quite acceptable in countries like Canada, is still a hot-button political topic in the U.S., and attempts to legalize such unions in various states have met with fierce resistance.
Meanwhile, in some other societies – Uganda, for one, where politicians are pressing for the death penalty in some cases – homosexuality is regarded as abhorrent. And many Jamaicans share that view. It will be a long time before the enlightenment slowly dawning in America gets to Jamaica.

This study shows the effectiveness of a novel self-adjuvanting vaccine delivery
This study shows the effectiveness of a novel self-adjuvanting vaccine delivery system for multiple different synthetic peptide immunogens by use of lipid core peptide (LCP) technology. and in the absence of a conventional adjuvant. In both cases, immunization led to induction of high-titer GAS peptide-specific serum immunoglobulin G antibody responses and induction of highly opsonic antibodies that did not cross-react with human heart tissue proteins. Moreover, mice were completely protected from GAS infection when immunized with LCP-8830-J8 in the presence or absence of a conventional adjuvant. Mice were not protected, however, following immunization with an Pradaxa LCP formulation containing a control peptide from a sp. These data support the potential of LCP technology in the development of novel self-adjuvanting multi-antigen component vaccines and point to the potential application of this system in the development of human vaccines against infectious diseases. To induce effective Pradaxa immunostimulation and protective immunity, vaccines comprising a particular antigen or fragment thereof require a suitable adjuvant in addition to a carrier system. This is a crucial concern with newer-generation vaccines such as for example subunit, recombinant, and artificial vaccines, which, despite including purer antigens, have a tendency to become immunogenic in comparison to live attenuated vaccine formulations (3 badly, 43). The effectiveness of regular vaccine formulations, implemented and Pradaxa mucosally in experimental pet versions parenterally, has required the usage of adjuvants such as for example full Freund's adjuvant (CFA) (7) and cholera toxin (20), respectively, that are not suitable for make use of in humans because of their toxicity. Current vaccine formulations certified for individual make use of generally contain alum-based adjuvants (such as for example light weight aluminum hydroxide or light weight aluminum phosphate) (18). This limited selection of adjuvants for individual vaccination demonstrates a bargain between a requirement of adjuvanticity and an acceptably low degree of toxicity. Advancement of book individual vaccine delivery approaches for both reemerging and existing attacks encounters significant hurdles, in regards to to advancement of secure especially, effective, non-toxic adjuvants, as well as the accurate amount of antigens that may be included in anybody formulation, as multiple antigens may be necessary for successful vaccination against specific pathogens to supply comprehensive insurance coverage. Analysis is targeted in the advancement of vaccine adjuvants with improved immunogenicity today, reduced toxicity, general efficacy, as well as the prospect of delivery via various other routes, such as for example mucosal delivery for vaccination against many pathogens that infect mucosal areas. Recent advancements in vaccine immunology possess included the development of sophisticated antigen delivery systems, especially those based on synthetic peptide immunogens (23, 33), and the development of alternative adjuvants for vaccine delivery, including genetically manipulated bacterial toxins, monophosphoryl lipid A, immunostimulatory complexes, proteosomes (outer membrane proteins of as a lipid anchor moiety (26). When covalently linked to a peptide, tetrameric forms of a Rabbit polyclonal to FOXRED2. MAP, or polyoxime constructs, Pam3Cys lipopeptide compounds have been found to be potent immunogens with self-adjuvanting properties, eliciting humoral and cellular responses irrespective of the route of administration (27, 29, 30, 47). Most importantly, lipopeptides represent potentially safe vaccines for human application (1). FIG. 1. Chemical structure of the LCP-8830-J8 (LCP-GAS) formulation. LCP-8830-J8 was synthesized made up of three 2-amino-octanoic lipoamino acids (shown as branched alkyl side chains) attached to a polylysine core, with two copies each of the 8830 and J8 GAS … LCP-based vaccine candidates incorporating variable domains of outer membrane protein have been shown to significantly enhance peptide immunogenicity over that of peptide monomers given alone in adjuvant (48), and an LCP compound incorporating a foot-and-mouth disease viral peptide was immunogenic, resulting in induction of anti-peptide antibodies in the absence of additional adjuvant (46). Recently, we investigated the LCP system as a vaccine delivery strategy for group A streptococci (GAS) (31), the causative brokers of rheumatic fever (RF) and subsequent rheumatic heart disease (RHD) (4, 12). RF and RHD are a major health concern in developing countries and indigenous populations worldwide, but especially among Australian aboriginals, who suffer the highest disease rates (9).

Horns Of Anguish - "Everlasting Apathy" (CD/EP)
"Everlasting Apathy" track listing:
1. Ominous (9:31)
2. On The Wings Of Salvation (7:12)
3. A New Bred Plague (8:01)
Reviewed by xFiruath on September 26, 2008
"Each of these tracks is in it for the long haul, building on previous ideas over the course of the entire song."
Metal doesn't always have to be high concept art that requires serious attention and multiple spins to fully understand, nor does it need to swing to the opposite extreme of brainless head banging with juvenile angst-ridden lyrics. Sometimes the genre just needs something floating lazily along the middle, straddling the line between deeper meanings and music to burn down the world while listening to. Echoing established bands with long and drawn out riffs where the vocals aren't as important as the overall music itself, Horns of Anguish presents three sonic journeys between seven and ten minutes long on their debut EP "Everlasting Apathy."
The first thirty seconds of opening track "Ominious" gives off a by-the-numbers impression that would lead many to believe the music is some sort of thrash or death act that's been heard a thousand times before and certainly doesn't need to be rehashed over again here. The more interesting sounds come along soon enough with a trick that is used frequently throughout the EP of switching between mono and stereo sound to signal changes in the structure of the song. Each of these tracks is in it for the long haul, building on previous ideas over the course of the entire song. There may be occasional forays in new directions, but these are only temporary diversions which will again in turn be thrown into the overall mix before another change comes along so it too can be gobbled up by the ever growing horde of sound. The dragged out musical ideas don't ever go all the way into the drone genre, but they do sometimes go on just a little too long, begging for some extra variation or even a shorter run time all together.
These songs are all about the guitar play, with frequent layering of multiple guitar parts together, as the electric guitar wrestles the place of top supremacy from the other instruments time and again. The bass parts are clearly audible and even intermittently serve as the main hook of a song, but in the long run they are just backing rhythm for the all important distorted guitars. The drumming also keeps a nice steady beat going, but rarely attempts anything that would draw too much attention to itself. Even the vocals stay out of the front for the most part, when they show up at all. Most of the EP doesn't bother with narrative storytelling, instead allow the strings to do the talking. On the rare occasions when vocals do show up they tend to stick to the harsh yelling style, with dips into throat grating screams, similar to that found from bands like Venom that don't go for a total demonic growl.
There is a strong disparity between the three songs that is the most compelling characteristic of "Everlasting Apathy." While the opening track has that fast fist pounding feel, the second song is much more muted and downplayed, and then the final act is deeply distorted and more mid-paced than anything heard earlier. The switch between rhythmic and energetic sounds to glum noises good for reminiscing about old times and then a meshing of the two is what gives the EP its identity, and will probably be the make or break quality for whether someone will be a fan of the music.
Horns of Anguish aren't exactly stoner metal, but the music would work well in the background as people pass around the bong or load up the vaporizer. It's heavy enough that most metal heads will dig it, regardless of particular genre preference, but there's also enough strong contrast between the guitar parts to make it good for those far out or deeply personal conversations that only tend to come around while in an altered state of consciousness.
Highs: Epic building of musical ideas and strong contrasts between guitar parts to draw you in to the music
Lows: Some parts drag on too long and there aren't many vocals to hook the listener
Bottom line: Metal good enough that anyone could dig it in the right setting, but lacks anything that makes it stand out from the crowd

Not 24 hours after defending his title, Chris John already faces questions about his next foe. The man known as "The Dragon" retained his World Boxing Association featherweight super champion belt on Wednesday, beating Stanyslav Merdov of Ukraine by unanimous decision at Challenge Stadium in Perth, Australia.
Now there is movement toward setting up a fight against Billy Dib of Australia, the International Boxing Federation featherweight champion.
Last week, the Daily Telegraph newspaper in Australia reported that Dib, who defended his title with a first-round knockout of Italy's Alberto Servidei on Nov. 19, was gunning for a unification bout against Chris.
Sampson Lekowicz, Chris's fight advisor, put a hefty $700,000 price tag on the bout, $200,000 more than the Indonesian usually earns per fight. Dib's manager Michael Karagiannis told the newspaper the bout still had "a 70 percent chance" of happening.
Promoter Raja Sapta Oktohari confirmed talks had taken place with Dib's camp. He gave few details, though he did mention the US, Singapore and Indonesia as possible venues for the fight.
After defending his title for the 15th time since first winning it in 2003, Chris rejected allegations that he had only fought weak opponents such as Merdov, 35.
Eusebio Pedroza of Panama holds the record for featherweight title defenses with 19, from 1978 to 1985.
US fighter Johnny Kilbane has the division's longest title reign, from 1912 to 1923, though he made just nine defenses in that span.

A homeless charity is helping to rehouse Apollo House residents with alternative accommodation - and has already found quality digs for 21 people.
Peter McVerry Trust staff visited the vacant office block today to assess the accommodation needs of individuals and couples currently staying there.
According to the statement issued by the Trust this afternoon, a total of 21 people had so far accepted alternative digs.
It said: "Today the assessment process continued and a total of 30 people have been assessed by Peter McVerry Trust staff.
"A further 13 people have accepted alternative accommodation and are now moving to suitable, high quality, long term accommodation with professional supports.
The statement continued: "Peter McVerry Trust have been invited to visit Apollo House to hold Accommodation Clinics with residents in advance of 11th January 2017 and clinics will be provided until January 10.
"Participation in the clinics by residents is voluntary.
"The aim of the clinics is to give residents an opportunity to have their accommodation needs further assessed and to identify suitable accommodation in the homeless sector for them.
Activists occupying Apollo House must leave the building and move the homeless people staying there by January 11, the High Court ruled on Wednesday.
On Thursday evening a total of eight people had left Apollo House and accepted suitable, high quality, long term accommodation with professional supports.
Justice Paul Gilligan granted an injunction sought by Tom O'Brien and Simon Coyle of Mazars, who were appointed joint receivers of the building.
The Tara Street office block was taken over last week by protesters under the Home Sweet Home Coalition which gave shelter to those without a roof over their heads.
While the injunction was put in place a stay was put on it on condition a number of terms were fulfilled, including a stipulation not more than 40 homeless people live in the building each night.
Other requirements include that access to the property is provided to the receivers, the occupiers co-operate with their requests and in particular there be co-operation between the parties in regards to the building's electricity supply.
The injunctions are to remain in place until the full hearing of the action.

The Paly Voice
Could the Parkland school shooting be the final straw?
Sophia Muys, Author
Palo Alto High School junior Emma Donelly-Higgins speaks about the walkout she is organizing for March 14th in the wake of the mass shooting that occurred Wednesday, where 17 people were killed after a gunman opened fire in Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Donelly-Higgins is one of many student activists across the country organizing student-led walkouts and marches in support of tougher gun control laws. "Our goal is to get as much attention as we can about this issue across the country," Donelly-Higgins said.
When I looked down at my phone last Wednesday to see the notification reading "17 dead in Florida school shooting," like so many other young people who have grown up under the dark cloud of consistent mass shootings, I thought the same cynical thoughts that have become routine for me.
There will be a week of empty arguments, with Democrats halfheartedly pushing for tougher gun control legislation with no hope of actually achieving it, while Republicans respond by offering "thoughts and prayers" and saying it is not the time to have that conversation. I assume that nothing will be done, and another shooting will happen, where we will repeat the same cycle.
If nothing was done in 2012, after 20 children were slaughtered in their first grade classrooms at Sandy Hook Elementary School, or in 2016, when 49 people were murdered in what they thought was a safe space at Pulse Nightclub, or even in 2017, when 58 were killed in Las Vegas while innocently enjoying a concert, then what tragic event needs to happen for change to occur?
The response to this shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, where a disturbed man murdered 17 people, feels different. Yes, there are still the candlelight vigils, memorials, and mourners, but there are also students who are making their voices heard in support of tougher gun control.
Many of the students are speaking out against lawmakers who claim that nothing could have been done to prevent the shooting while accepting millions of dollars in donations from the National Rifle Association, through protests and rallies. Two nationwide school walkouts are planned for March 14 and April 20, and a march is planned for March 24. These actions will be in solidarity with the victims killed in the shooting and to support enacting stronger gun control in the United States. Young people, led by the students of Douglas High, are using their voices to stand up for our right to attend school without fear that we could be murdered at any second, a right that we should not have to fight for in the first place.
In a speech given at a rally outside a federal courthouse, Douglas High School senior Emma Gonzalez called on lawmakers to take action on gun control.
"The people in the government who were voted into power are lying to us. And us kids seem to be the only ones who notice," Gonzalez said. "Politicians who sit in their gilded House and Senate seats funded by the NRA telling us nothing could have been done to prevent this, we call BS."
Student journalist David Hogg, a senior at Douglas High, who documented his experience during the shooting, also called for action to be taken in an interview with CNN.
"I want to show these people exactly what's going on when these children are facing bullets flying through classrooms and students are dying trying to get an education," Hogg said. "Let's make some compromises and save some children's lives."
"We are going to be the last mass shooting," Gonzalez declared in her speech. Of course, achieving the necessary gun control is still an uphill battle, especially when, as Gonzalez vocalized, the NRA donates tens of millions to lawmakers every year. But this surge in student-led activism is something new; something that could mark the end of the cynical passivity that has become the mindset of so many.
The student activists in Florida, and the planned walkouts, rallies, and protests they have inspired across the United States, could be the watershed moment for a larger movement for stricter gun control. In order for change to occur, there must be a glimmer of hope, and for the first time, this cycle of violence that has loomed over the nation for generations seems like it could finally be broken, and I hope it will be.
As young people, we often feel powerless. While we care deeply about many causes, it's hard to get involved when we don't know how to, or we lack the resources available to adults. Protests, walkouts, and rallies are vehicles to make a real difference without needing the ability to vote, or having large sum of money to donate.
However, for a protest to be effective, there must be mass participation. Gandhi famously said that silence becomes cowardice when occasion demands speaking out the whole truth and acting accordingly. If a majority of people who agree with the cause choose to remain silent, nothing will be done, and the issues will persist.
The Parkland students have lit a spark, but if it fizzles out, it will be a waste of a rare opportunity to start a fire. We can't let it be wasted.
