In a Nutshell: Modern businesses need new hires to arrive on the job ready to contribute. With that in mind, the UC Davis Graduate School of Management gives MBA students the opportunity to develop the hands-on experience they need to hit the ground running. The school's Integrated Management Project immerses student teams in a 10-week strategic program, tackling a partner company's "real-world" business challenge. As part of the school's IMPACT curriculum, the required capstone project has MBA student teams putting their skills to work to produce impactful solutions for clients ranging from Fortune 500 companies to Silicon Valley tech firms. UC Davis has also launched a year-long graduate degree program to give students first-hand experience in the growing field of business analytics. The Graduate School of Management has developed all of these initiatives to help students master the skill sets they need to make a positive difference in business right away.
A decade ago, the UC Davis Graduate School of Management's curriculum renewal process turned out to be anything but routine.
Alumni, recruiters, and the companies where graduates worked agreed that the school had a strong core academic curriculum, but needed to provide MBA students with more practical, hands-on experience in a business environment.
In response, UC Davis introduced the MBA Integrated Management Project. The 10-week team project immerses students in a real-world business scenario and asks them to analyze and solve a sponsor company's problem. The issues are from areas such as strategic planning, operational analysis, market opportunity assessment, and organizational effectiveness.
Joe DiNunzio is the Faculty Director of the IMPACT program at the UC Davis Graduate School of Management.
So far, UC Davis MBA student teams have helped Google validate the software value equation for enterprises moving to a multi-cloud world, worked with Chevron Energy Solutions on positioning strategy, enabled Sutter Health to survey the future landscape of millennial healthcare, and created a framework to measure the progress of Johnson & Johnson's sustainability initiatives in the medical device and diagnostics business.
The MBA Strategic Projects at UC Davis anchor the IMPACT curriculum as a 10-week capstone course where student teams work to solve business challenges for sponsoring organizations — including Fortune 500 companies, major players in the agriculture and healthcare industries, and Silicon Valley tech firms.
IMPACT Faculty Director Joe DiNunzio said the partnerships benefit the students, sponsor companies, and UC Davis.
The IMPACT (Integrated Management Project Articulation and Critical Thinking) curriculum puts academic learning to the real-world test, and the project course is designed to accomplish three objectives.
UC Davis approaches the projects as a business operation. The Graduate School of Management corporate relations team works year-round to identify possible client sponsors and keeps a running list of 200 potential firms. They remain in routine contact with the organizations, similar to business development professionals at a for-profit company.
At the start of the academic quarter before IMPACT, students take a survey on their project interests — both functionally and by industry. UC Davis uses the survey results to target the organizations among the 200 firms that best match student skills, interests, and aspirations.
In a typical academic quarter, 10 to 12 six-member student teams complete an Integrated Management Project (IMP). Joe said the businesses have to present a challenge in the "Goldilocks zone," meaning something demanding and also of significant value to the company, but not too broad for a student team to approach successfully over 10 weeks; developing a precise project scope is an important part of the IMP process.
Faculty advisors closely guide the team's process from start to finish and bring a range of consulting and industry experience in the business world as well as in academic research and teaching.
As with the MBA students, the companies also need to make a commitment. A C-level executive or general manager with budgetary authority is involved, as well as an executive who will be in routine contact with the student team. The company also becomes a Business Partner of the Graduate School of Management, providing recruiting and networking opportunities, as well as university-wide resources.
Students sign a contract with the company that details their work process and deliverables. They have weekly contact with the client, take part in ad-hoc discussions, and give three presentations during the course of the project. In the final week, they present their findings to the client, with analyses, projections, and recommendations.
"This is, ultimately, a student-led project, and they're responsible for defining and delivering the results," Joe said.
The success rate is impressive, as more than 80% of the client companies adopt the recommendations of their IMPACT team.
UC Davis' Master of Science in the growing field of business analytics also provides students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in real-world business problems. The retail, finance, and insurance industries are increasingly using data to guide business decisions, and the analytics market is projected to rise from $44.5 billion in 2015 to $71.1 billion by 2022.
As the field of data analytics booms, more and more universities are offering programs to train students for the profession. Launched last fall, the UC Davis MSBA blends classroom learning in business and data science with a year-long project in collaboration with industry partners and drawing on the deep expertise at UC Davis.
The hands-on business analytics project pairs a five-member student team with a corporate partner's analytics department to give students the opportunity to move through the consulting spectrum from simply providing information to building the trust necessary to make sustainable change in the client organization.
MSBA student Sonic Prabhudesai leads a team providing business intelligence and deep analysis to Charles Schwab's Retail Business.
These in-depth projects last the full length of the Master of Science program, so students gain the experience they need to be ready to create business value and enable data-driven business transformation.
Ten years ago, alumni, recruiters, and employers told the UC Davis Graduate School of Management that its students needed more hands-on experience to bring to the workplace. UC Davis invested two years redesigning its MBA curriculum and launched the IMPACT curriculum, anchored by Strategic Projects to give students hands-on experience in solving real business problems.
With this mix of classroom and corporate consulting experience, recent UC Davis MBA graduates enjoyed a 91 percent placement rate within three months of graduation.
Future business leaders who have completed a Strategic Project course said they developed mutual respect and trust for their teammates and developed skills managing client expectations, thinking nimbly, negotiating, and adapting to unexpected situations.
More recently, students in the charter Master of Science in Business Analytics class are working on Big Data problems for several technology, finance, healthcare, and retail companies.
In addition to developing top-notch business managers, UC Davis continues to build strong relationships with the Fortune 500 and technology companies that serve as sponsor clients. Those partnerships enhance the school's profile and give students in edge in networking and career opportunities.

An exchange traded fund (ETF) is a basket of securities—such as stocks, bonds, currencies or commodities—that can be bought and sold in a single trade on an exchange. They generally track the performance of an index, may charge less fees, and offer targeted exposure to a specific market segment, such as an asset class, geography, sector, or investment theme.
In essence, ETFs are funds that trade like stocks with the diversification benefits of mutual funds. In one trade, they may offer diversified, low-cost, transparent and tax-efficient exposure to companies across the globe.
What are the Benefits of ETFs?
Understanding the benefits of ETFs is an important step toward determining whether ETFs can be an appropriate choice for your portfolio.
Targeted Exposure
ETFs generally track an index, offering exposure to a specific segment of the market such as:
Asset classes: ETF proliferation has helped make all market segments easy to access, from equities and fixed income, to commodities and alternatives.
Geographies: You can access global, regional, or single country focused ETFs, as well as ETFs that focus on developed or emerging markets.
Currencies: ETFs that track the price return of a basket of currencies, such as all emerging market currencies, or individual ones, such as the Japanese Yen or Chinese Yuan.
Sectors and Industries: These ETFs track a stock market sector or industry, such as Industrials, Health Care, Homebuilders or Technology.
Investment Themes: These ETFs seek to offer exposure to multi-generational investment themes such as Environmental Social Governance (ESG) or the advancement of technology on cybersecurity or autonomous vehicles.
Style/Factors: Smart beta ETFs offer exposures to stocks with attributes like low volatility, value and momentum.
Lower Expense Ratios
Because most ETFs are passively managed, they typically have lower management fees and operating expenses compared to mutual funds. Transaction costs are minimized due to the low turnover of most ETFs and the indexes they track. When fees and expenses are low, investors can keep more of their returns.
Increased Diversification
ETFs provide one of the easiest ways to diversify a portfolio.
They provide access to many companies or investments in one single trade, removing single stock risk—the risk inherent in being exposed to just one company. Offering this exposure in the ETF structure helps to lower the risk that a select number of individual stocks could hurt overall portfolio performance.
Added Liquidity
ETFs benefit from two sources of liquidity:
Primary Market Liquidity: ETFs have a unique creation/redemption mechanism, which allows Authorised Participants (APs) to build baskets of ETF shares when demand increases (creation), or disassemble the baskets of ETF shares back into single securities should demand decrease (redemption). This happens in the primary market, and allows the liquidity of an ETF's underlying securities to enhance the liquidity of the ETF.
Secondary Market Liquidity: Because they trade throughout the day on an exchange, or in the secondary market, investors can make timely investment decisions and quickly execute based on shifting market conditions.
Learn more about the ETF Creation and Redemption Process
ETFs are generally more tax efficient than other investment vehicles due to the ability to transfer securities in and out of the portfolio in the most tax-efficient manner, via the in-kind creation/redemption process. And, because ETFs generally track market indexes, turnover is generally low, resulting in fewer capital gains and lower taxes. Additionally, any associated capital gains taxes are paid at the time of final sale, offering greater control on the timing of tax consequences.
Flexible Trading
ETFs can be bought through an online brokerage account at their current market price, at any time during the trading day. There are no minimum holding periods, and investors can employ a wide range of trading techniques—such as buying on margin, short selling, and placing limit orders—to react to market movements.
Master the Mechanics of ETF Trading
The holdings of most ETFs are fully transparent and available daily. This disclosure means investors know what they own at any moment, allowing them to make more informed investment decisions with greater accuracy.
The Global ETF Market
ETFs have grown exponentially since 1993 when State Street Global Advisors launched the SPDR® S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), the first US-listed ETF. Today, investors use ETFs to precisely meet their individual portfolio needs, from finding income and gaining broad market exposure, to lowering costs and investing in difficult-to-reach markets.

Using ETFs in a Portfolio
How are investors incorporating ETFs into their portfolios?
1 ETFGI, as of 09/30/2019.
Authorized Participant (AP)
A US-registered and self-clearing broker-dealer who meets certain criteria and signs a participant agreement with a particular ETF sponsor or distributor to become an "authorized participant" of the fund. APs are often associated with large and influential investment banks, and are scrutinized for their integrity and operational competence as they are the only parties who transact directly with an ETF.
Creation and Redemption Process
The process whereby an ETF issuer takes in and disburses baskets of assets in exchange for the issuance or removal of new ETF shares.
Limit Order
An order placed with a brokerage to buy or sell a set number of shares at a specified price or better.
The degree to which an asset or security can be bought or sold in the market without affecting the asset's price. Liquidity is characterized by a high level of trading activity.
Primary Market
The market where shares of an ETF are created or redeemed.
A market where investors purchase or sell securities or assets from or to other investors, rather than from issuing companies themselves. The New York Stock Exchange and the NASDAQ are secondary markets.
Passively managed funds hold a range of securities that, in the aggregate, approximates the full Index in terms of key risk factors and other characteristics.

I hope you had a terrific weekend! Congrats to our AHS football team and coaches on a job well done this season!
This week marks the beginning of a worldwide initiative that is promoting coding (computer programming/app building) amongst all students. The hope of the initiative is that all students will experience an hour of code sometime during the week.
Many countries are implementing coding into national curriculums. The great part of the week is that you, as the teacher, parent or student, really don't need to know much about coding because they have very good resources (for all ages) that kids can navigate through on their own.
If your interested in knowing more about it or having kids experience the Hour of Code visit http://code.org for the best resources.
If you decide to try this, please let me know how it goes!


Day 88! So close to the end of the spending ban! Just the one simple rule, I cannot buy something new if I have that type of product already in my stash. You can read Update #1 here, Update #2 here, Update #3 here, Update #4 here and Update #5 here.
Since the last update I have got through a couple of shower gels, a couple of body scrubs, a body lotion and a facial moisturiser!
I raided my stash and picked out a Korres Guava Little Shower Gel that I got in February's Birchbox. It was only little so ran out quickly, so I also picked Nivea Pearl and Beauty Shower Cream Oil that I got in a Christmas gift set. I picked out Soap & Glory The Breakfast Scrub which was also a Christmas gift. I had a second tube of Yon-Ka Pamplemousse from a giveaway so cracked that open and I had a bottle of E45 Nourish & Restore Lotion arrive in the post this week so that was great timing!
I had been using Soap & Glory Eye Maintenance but I really didn't like it, so it went in the bin. I bought Boots Time Delay Youth Maintain Anti-Ageing Replenishing Eye Cream. It was on offer for £5.49 and I still managed to save £46.50 this week!
How are you getting on with the spending ban? Looking forward to the end?
I definitely commend you for this, not sure I have the strength!
Is the Korres shower gel nice?
Great progress! It always feels so good to properly use up the stuff that has been laying around for a long time - it always feels so liberating to me!

Q: Convergence of Inverse of Convergent Sequence Let $\{x_n\}$ be a sequence in $\mathbb{R}$ where $\forall n\in\mathbb{N}:x_n\neq 0$ and it converges to some $x\neq 0$. If the sequence is NOT monotone is it ever true that $\frac{1}{x_n}\rightarrow\frac{1}{x}$? If so what other conditions (if any) are needed and how would you show it.
Thanks in advance any feedback is greatly appreciated.

A: It is always true, provided that $x\neq 0$ and each $x_n\neq 0$.
Generally, $f(x_n)\to f(x)$ if $f$ is continuous and $x$ and each $x_n$ are in the domain of $f$. This follows from continuity.

A: Suppose $x{}_n\to x\neq 0$ and $x{}_n\neq 0$ (enough to assume $x{}_n\to x\neq 0$, then $x{}_n\neq 0$ for almost all $n\in\Bbb N$ - i.e. all but finitely many - and we can throw away all the zero terms).
Now there exists $M>0$ s.t. $|x_n|\ge M$ for all $n\in\Bbb N$ (see the addendum), and then for all $\epsilon >0$ there exists $K\in\Bbb N$ s.t. that for all $n>K$
$$|x_n-x|<|x|\epsilon M\implies\left|\frac1{x_n}-\frac1x\right|=\left|\frac{x-x_n}{xx_n}\right|<\frac{|x|\epsilon M}{|x|M}=\epsilon.$$
Addendum: Since $\lim_{n\to\infty}|x_n|=|\lim_{n\to\infty} x_n|=|x|>0$ we can choose some $m$ such that $0<m<|x|$ and by the definition of convergence there is some $N\in\mathbb N$ such that $m\leq |x_n|$ for all $n> N$. Now consider $M:=\min\{|x_1|,\ldots,|x_N|,m\}$.

A: Consider the mapping: $g: \mathbb{R}^+\to \mathbb{R}^+, \quad x \mapsto \frac{1}{x}$. $g$ is continuous in its domain. This implies that if $x_n \to x$ then $g(x_n) \to g(x)$, that is your thesis.
Same argument can be used in the case of negative values.
EDIT:
As MPW wrote it is sufficient to take $g: \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\}\to \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\}$ without splitting cases.

shooting a wedding this past weekend at my gorgeous alma mater with two dear friends (who are both talented photographers!) was a dream. come. true.
last month i covered the portland mahfia sessions, a networking event for women in the action sports industry. the first day of the event was a happy hour on the gorgeous back patio of ron tom's, and day two was a panel discussion at the unique and modern union/pine. the energy, drive, and style of this group of women (and men) was inspiring and so much fun to be around.

How Did They Do That? Behind the Scenes of the 50-Ship Flyover
October 11, 2022 ks Airplanes 0
By Tenley Ong, EAA 1388744
During the week of EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, Wittman Regional Airport becomes the land of the Van's RVs. Van's is currently the leading designer and manufacturer of kit aircraft, with more than 11,000 examples built and flying.
This year, 2022, was particularly special as Van's Aircraft celebrated their 50th anniversary as a company. To commemorate this milestone, the opening act for the Monday air show was a 50-ship flyover consisting of only Van's RVs. Not only were these airplanes in close formation, but they were in the actual shape of the number 50.
If you've ever experienced formation flying, you know how totally cool it is — and how incredibly difficult it can be. Flying close to other aircraft requires excellent airmanship, including (but not limited to) high levels of focus, technique, proficiency, communication, and planning. There's very little margin for error when you're just feet apart from the other person's wing, and can see everything from rivets on their airplane to the words on their hats.
Now factor in one, two, three more airplanes. Each person is responsible for keeping their aircraft in position. Okay, now make it 50. Seriously. It happened. Right over EAA AirVenture Oshkosh on July 25, 2022. No matter where you were at Wittman Regional Airport on Monday, you could not have missed the 50-ship flyover.
I had the privilege and opportunity to interview Tim Redden, EAA 528047, Formation Flying Inc. (FFI) president, and one of the leadership team members. A highly experienced pilot and aircraft owner, Tim has been involved in many events at AirVenture, including the 40-ship Van's 40th Anniversary flyover in 2012.
This year's flyover was the largest single coordinated formation flight flown over Oshkosh. "At least in recent history," said Tim. "In years past, there have been more than 50 aircraft airborne at different altitudes, flying different directions, or as flights in trail – but not executed as a single, coordinated flight."
The pilots came from all over the United States. Tim adds, "as you can imagine, it takes a lot of resources to bring this many planes and qualified pilots together, so it doesn't occur too frequently."
Starting the planning process in January 2022, it took many months combined with strong leadership and teamwork to coordinate the pilots, planes, and plan.
The "Van's 50" team leader was Steve Payne, FFI Check Pilot and flight lead. Payne designed the flight and selected the leadership group, who then evaluated the plan and recruited pilots. A smaller group worked on individual problems, like exactly how to fly the Five and the Zero. They also worked on the more complex maneuvers, like reversal turns and the crossing pass.
Formation Flying, Inc. (FFI)
Legally, there's no special certification or rating required to fly formation, though proper training is crucial. But to fly formation in waivered airspace, like an air show, you need a formation card issued to you through an FAA-accredited organization, such as FFI or FAST. FFI promotes safe, standards-based formation flying at airshows. They evaluate pilots and develop and maintain flying standards, procedures and airshow operations. All pilots involved with the Van's 50 flyover held FFI cards.
The Pilots
"Van's 50" pilots gather for a group photo in the experimental aircraft parking area.
When everyone lives scattered around the country, practicing together becomes difficult. This means that the leadership team needed to find the best of the best. Each pilot was hand-picked based on their military, racing, and/or prior airshow formation experience, as well as their airshow currency and overall airmanship. Tim said, "Most of the Van's 50 pilots have several hundred hours of actual logged time in formation — and some are in the thousands."
According to the FAA Civil Airmen Private Pilot Certificate Statistics, there were 161,459 private pilots in the US in 2021, but only 11,966 were women. That's 7.4% of the entire private pilot population.
Despite the statistics, there were a surprising number of female participants involved. Time says, "I'm pleased to share that the Van's 50 included six women — 12% of the flying team."
Prior to the event, the team gathered at a top-secret location and practiced the entire routine three times over the course of two days. Tim said, "Getting three large formations integrated into one very large flight, with the correct visual spacing, arriving at a point in space at exactly the right time, speed and direction was a hard problem. Let's just say it didn't go perfectly the first time we practiced it."
On the Wittman field ramp at approximately 1:30 p.m. on opening Monday, the 50 airplanes could be seen taxiing out to the runway from their parking area in the Homebuilts parking area, just northwest of the forum stages and the EAA Blue Barn.
When communicating via airshow formation standards, pilots stay off the radio by using hand gestures and aircraft signals. Tim says, "But for an event like this, there's just too much going on to rely on pilots seeing anything but the multiple aircraft needed to reference the correct position." Therefore, these pilots actually communicated via verbal cues from the flight lead.
The Initial Pass
The initial pass: three 16-ship formations, two connecting aircraft, and all the cool show smoke.
After takeoff, they circled over Lake Winnebago and took position as three 16-ship formations, plus two connecting aircraft. They set up to intercept the airport at exactly 2:32pm, in time with the final notes of the national anthem.
From the ground, my friends and I stopped in our tracks when we saw them coming. "I was awed by the striking precision with which the pilots employed in keeping separate formations flying as one cohesive unit," says Lilah Harris, EAA 1443610, AirVenture volunteer and Ray Scholarship recipient.
The Second Pass
Van's RVs make the shape of a 50 during the second pass of the Van's 50-ship Anniversary flight over Whitman Regional Airport on July 25, 2022.
For the second pass, Tim says, "we reconfigured into a "Five" and a "Zero" flanked by two 16-ship diamonds and returned for an overflight from behind the crowd." Tim was a part of the Five.
The Third Pass
The pass consisted of two 16-ship formations completing a crossing pass over Boeing Plaza, after the Five and Zero broke away for landing. Tim summed it all up, noting the following:
"It took 90 minutes from start up, taxi, run-up, take off, assemble, fly around in circles, join, perform reversing turns, separate, disassemble, sequence, overhead approach, land, taxi and shutdown…. For a total of three 60 second passes over the crowd."
The Problems
Of course, not every cool thing comes without challenges. One hurdle that the team encountered, as did many other pilots coming into Oshkosh on Sunday, was the inclement weather. The IFR conditions cancelled many arrivals. In addition, there were multiple runway closures for a variety of reasons.
The Fisk arrival was backed up, and the addition of 53 aircraft would have been overwhelming for the tower. To work with this, the Van's 50 team arrived in flights of 3-4 throughout the day. Tim says "Somehow we all made it in, with my final flight of three touching down at 7:30 p.m., among the last aircraft to land that evening."
The team had three back-up aircraft and pilots in case of mechanical problems. These pilots were ready to take the place of any airplane that could not complete the formation flight.
So, that's the inside scoop on the 50-ship formation flight. Hopefully, they will be able to conduct a 60-ship flight on the 60th anniversary! Or maybe a 51-ship flight next year?
Note: Special thank you to Tim Redden for being instrumental in the creation of this article, in addition to being an wonderful friend, mentor, and leader. Tim is a wealth of knowledge and a role-model for many.

Articles Will you be affected by changing im...
Will you be affected by changing immigration rules on Tier 4 student visa?
There is so much of speculation on changing immigration rules on Tier 4 student visas. Many international students worry about such changes. Before you start worrying about such things it is important for you to understand to what extent that you will be affected. Following links would take you through the Tier 4 (general student) policy guidance and the recently changed rules.
Changes that will be applied from August 3:
New students on Tier 4 visa at publicly funded colleges will not be allowed to work
University graduates will be allowed to study a new course at the same level but only where there is a link to their previous course. The university can also confirm that the course support the student's career aspirations.
Changes that will be applied from November 12:
College students will have to leave and apply for a new visa from outside the UK if they wish to study another course or work in the UK. If the student is studying in a college that has a direct link to a university which is recognised by the British Home Office, he/she is not affected by this change.
The time limit for study at further education level for international students will be reduced from 3 years to 2 years.
(From the autumn), Tier 4 dependants will not be allowed to take a low or unskilled job. They will still be allowed to take part-time or full-time skilled work.
Why does Home office bring about the changes?
The UK is a developed country with a good quality of living. You, as an international student may find the UK as a resourceful country with many facilities which you may not find in your own country.
Some international students use the student visa as a tool to enter into the UK and then look into different ways to remain in the UK despite of continuing their education. Therefore, UK border agency is making an attempt in stopping such fake students entering the country. As a result, in the recent past UK home office had revoked licenses of 870 bogus colleges that provided courses at considerably lower prices and lower standards.
The UK as a country is expecting to attract only the bright and genuine students with the intention of booming its economy.
So does this really affect to all the International students?
The answer is "No".
The international students who are coming to the UK Universities will still have same privileges as in the past. They will be given 20 hours per week work rights, choice of extending their visas to study further within the given guidelines and also to switch into Tier 2 and Tier 5 work visas.
Why should you study in the UK?
The rules have been placed, but the UK welcomes thousands of international students every year.
British Higher education is considered prestigious
You will experience a global education in a multi-cultural environment
British degree qualifications are world recognized
It allows you to become employable and to fasten your career prospects
You will be exposed to a country that is a world famous financial hub
You will have the opportunity to gain work experience at world-renowned and high rated organizations
You will be able to endorse a value for yourself wherever you go with the learning and practical experience that you gain in the UK.
In brief, UK is still the best international destination for higher education with internationally recognized Universities. If you are talented, immigration rules or any other external environmental factors may not become a barrier to your achievements.

We are extremely happy with the product and service Toolcraft have provided us in developing a small protective chrome cap for our bathrooms and would have no hesitation in recommending your company to others.
We transferred our injection mould tool to Toolcraft as our existing moulder was unable to prevent distortion in our mouldings. Toolcraft diagnosed the problem, modified the tool and managed to make improved mouldings quickly. Moving our tool was the right decision.

This Paris Hilton-Backed Platform Is Revolutionizing The Online Shopping Experience
By: Amy Rosner By: Amy Rosner | November 17, 2021 | Style & Beauty
Carrot, a first-of-its-kind browser extension that allows users to save, organize and share all of their open shopping carts, officially launched on Monday, November 15th.
The extension automatically saves all open carts in one place, captures all open carts from the 45 days prior as soon as it is installed, notifies users within the plug-in once an item in cart has been marked down, and gives them the ability to personalize and easily share collections.
Carrot was Co-Founded by Bobby Ghoshal, serial founder and former Head of Design and Growth of WeWork, and Ramin Bozorgzadeh, Founding Engineer at WeWork and former engineer at Etsy.
The duo began developing the concept in early 2021 in response to a personal frustration with the lack of innovation when it came to the modern-day shopping cart.

"My family and I were moving to a new city and had a ton of furnishing to do, and I remember feeling massively overwhelmed by all the messages I was getting with products to buy. I couldn't keep track of everything I was looking at, and I figured there had to be a product out there that saves all of your carts for you, but there wasn't," says Ghoshal.
"I immediately thought, what if all your carts were collected automatically, without any extra work required on your part?"
"Bobby called me with the idea and, after doing some digging, I found it hard to believe it didn't already exist. This felt like a potential sea change," adds Bozorgzadeh.
From a consumer's point of view, the necessity arose out of only being able to see potential purchases directly on a retailer's site, carts often clearing out before a purchase decision has been finalized, and a lack of an efficient way to organize and share existing carts with friends or family.
Carrot was created for anyone who: has trouble keeping track of their carts, sends themselves links to products, shares screenshots of product pages with their friends, shops with multiple tabs open at a time, and/or sends product links to friends and family looking for feedback.
"I knew from the minute I saw Carrot I wanted to get involved once I saw all my open carts and how easy it was to organize them with a click of a button." says investor, Paris Hilton.
"I do so much online shopping but I always leave open carts and forget to go back to them as I'm always busy and running around. I love how simple Carrot makes it to get back to those carts, everyone needs it!"
"Carrot needed to exist," says Carter Reum, Founder of M13 Ventures. "It's one of those products that you can't believe doesn't already exist and completely elevates the shopping experience without having to even think about it. It's about time someone rethought the mechanics of product curation online, in my opinion, Carrot is the company to do it."
The company's recently closed seed round of $5.5 million included investments from M13 Ventures, Paris Hilton, Scott Belsky, Kindred Ventures, Abstract, Designer Fund, Combine, Riverpark, and Next View.
Carrot is now available to download, free of charge, on desktops via Google Chrome on addtocarrot.com.

His two well-taken efforts paved the way for a crucial win, which means that if Bungay can win their final two games (both difficult away games) they will finish third in the Anglian Combination Division One – and there are likely to be three promotion positions this season.
Now unbeaten in 12 games in 2019, Bungay started well,and Jamie Weston almost got on to a cross into the box from Ash Canham, but the keeper just got there first. But they moved ahead in the 15th minute as Darrell Wigger's free-kick caused panic and Canham got the final touch as the ball bobbled in off a post for his 11th goal of the season.
Kirkley went close with a shot that hit the bar following a cornerand then attacked down the right and when the ball was crossed to the left Ross King drove a fine first time shot inside the far post.
Six minutes later the Royals took the lead with a fine 25-yard shot from Gary Williams which found the top corner after a corner had been headed clear. For the rest of the half they were the better side as Bungay struggled for rhythm and only a good save from Lewis Riches prevented a third for Kirkley as he grabbed an intended lob from James Gill when the former Bungay player broke clear.
The home side gradually worked themselves back into the game after the break and Canham was unlucky to see his curling free-kick go narrowly wide.
Wooldridge came on for Solomon in the 60th minute and Wigger had a chance at the far post from Tom Hunter's cross but could not direct his effort.
The equaliser came with 20 minutes left as Wooldridge was played in following a move down the right and stayed cool to beat the keeper.
And with three minutes left the vital goal came as a cross into the area caused Kirkley problems and Wooldridge took the chance to beat the keeper at his near post. The points were clinched in added time as Hunter beat the offside trap and took the ball on to beat the keeper.
Bungay Town: L Riches, J Weston, C Hunting, T Daniels, S Whiteman, D Wigger (R Cook), B Solomon (S Wooldridge), J Knights, T Hunter, J Riches, A Canham.
Tomorrow Bungay visit second placed Mundford (2.30pm). Then there is a big gap before the final game at Easton on May 3 (7.15pm).


A modified version of Chapter Nine of Well of Shadows. Basically Harry and Ginny comfort Hermione when she receives a letter from her parents, stating their intention to withdraw her from Hogwarts.
Sequel to The Order of the Phoenix. Harry and his frineds finds themselves pitted against a force of such ancient and malignant evil that even Voldemort is leery of using it. Add a pair of wacky DADA professors and you can rest assured that all Hell's about to break loose.
Harry returns to Hogwarts following the rebirth of Voldemort at the end of the Triwizard Tournament, having been inducted into the mysterious Order of the Phoenix during the summer. Which is kind of strange, especially since the only living member in the Order is Harry!
Might be extended into a longer fic if I get struck by enough motivation.
After decades of fighting, the war is over. Voldemort won. The light's last hope is a desperate ploy, concocted by an insane genius, that probably won't work anyway. Now, armed with an experimental tool whose limits even its creator didn't imagine, Harry must find a way to change history for the better and win a war that he's already lost once before.
Harry has been captured by Voldemort for a month during his fifth year. But now he's back and everyone is worried, because whatever it is that came back - it's not Harry.
Nine years ago Vernon Dursley bought an ancient puzzle box. His nephew managed to open it. The entire Dursley family suffered the consequences. Now, in the midst of Voldemort's second reign of terror, Harry Potter is convinced the only way to defeat the Dark Lord; is to call upon an even greater evil. This decided, Harry begins his plans to recreate the Lament Configuration... and to open it... again.
No one can deny that Luna Lovegood is a decidedly odd young witch - even at the best of times. But can Hogwarts survive when Luna gets together with four characters that are almost as odd as she is? Especially when all four wizards in question... are the Boy-Who-Lived?
Five hundred years after the defeat of Lord Voldemort a new generation of Death Eaters is on the rise. Will the Muggles they attack be able to survive the encounter? For that matter, will the Death Eaters?
Three years ago he was wrongfully sent to Azkaban. Now something has happened. Something that has placed the power of a god into the hands of a man that's half insane. A man who wants revenge. The question now is; who's Harry going to kill first?
If you were introduced to near perfect bliss --physical, mental and emotional-- in a dream, would you try to recreate it in reality? And how would you do that when it involves the one man you can't have?
Tonks is posing as a Hogwarts student when someone slips something into Harry's drink. With Death Eaters on the prowl and the Boy Who Lived not only missing, but stoned out of his mind and horny to boot, what's a girl to do?
Harry and his friends are not pleased. The war is over, and they are the victors, but at a heavy price. Now they have a chance to set things right and skew the odds in their favour. And, if they get to humiliate their enemies in the process, well, so much the better.
Harry and his friends have finally gathered all the spell fragments needed to return Hermione to human form, resurrect Sirius and destroy Voldemort once and for all. Now all they need to do is finish casting the spell. Easy, right?
A spell of tremendous power was interrupted. It's up to Harry, Ginny and Ron to find the missing spell fragments and reassemble them. With the help of Hermione (who's been turned into a dog) and Harry's Firebolt (now possessed by the spirit of Sirius Black), what could possibly go wrong?
Set in GoF, what if Harry had found a way to overcome the second task? What if while searching through the library he came across an insignificant seeming little book that teaches him the magic he needs? What if he begins to play with forces beyond comprehension?

Guys, this is just a total shot in the dark and probably won't work, but has anybody tried installing the nvidia-modprobe package? I did this some time ago (I think during 14.10) to fix issues with Darktable. Around the same time, but possibly only later, the second-screen issue disappeared for me. It never occurred to me until now, but there just miiiight be a connection?
I've been using nvidia-modprobe ever since, so I don't know if this has anything to do with it and frankly, I don't think so. But perhaps give it a shot and report back?

Scoob! Scrapped From Theaters, Arrives on VOD This May
by FandomWire Staff April 24, 2020, 1:52 pm
An abrupt decision made by the Warner Bros. Studio, to make "Scoob" available for Video on demand.
Scoob for sale
Warner Bros. affirmed that "Scoob" will be available to buy on May 15 for $19.99 and $24.99 or for a rental period of 48 hours. This animated film is going to be the latest one to break the conventional theatrical release.
Scoob will be available for purchase or rental from May 15
This big-screen adaptation of the famous cartoon "Scooby-Doo" was initially slotted for May 15th, this year. But according to the recent announcement made by chairman-CEO Ann Sarnoff of Warner Bros, it will be available on VOD.
The film was directed by the veteran animator, Tony Cervone. Moreover, Mark Wahlberg and Zac Efron vocalized characters from the movie.
Still, there is no word regarding their plans for upcoming streaming service, HBO Max, launching on May 27.
Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, studios appear increasingly willing to test the demand for home entertainment, especially for content that appeals to kids.
Trolls bags the highest digital-released opening weekend
Warner Bros. joins the club of the unprecedented decision-makers. Other studios like Universal Pictures, Disney have previously made it into this circle. These studios skipped their theatrical releases of Trolls World Tour and Artemis Fowl respectively. While Disney announced to premiere its movie on Disney+, Universal made the film available for $20.
According to Universal Studios, Trolls World Tour has the highest opening weekend of any digital title.
Another big player Paramount sold its movie "The Lovebirds," to Netflix. This Comedy genre movie casts Issa Rae and Kumail Nanjiani.
Good and bad news for theatre owners
In addition to this, pre-released movies are made available to homes much earlier than expected, for instance, Birds of Prey.
Release dates were changed for most of the anticipated movies form these studios
This scenario isn't a good breeze for theatre owners. But thanks to the shift of most of the anticipated movie schedules, except for the mentioned, they can finally conciliate.

The Carlinville basketball Cavaliers weren't expecting last Wednesday's meeting against Lincolnwood to be their final game of the week. Yet, thanks to Mother Nature, Carlinville was granted a full weekend of rest due to snow postponement at the Morrisonville Mohawk Classic. The Cavies went into the break by dominating the Lancers and giving them a taste of their own medicine – dishing out the same 20-point thumping that Lincolnwood had given to Edinburg the previous night. With the 54-34 victory, Carlinville improves to 5-11 overall and 2-1 in the tournament.
The Cavaliers came out of the gates completely unfazed by the road environment. Will Walton and Finn Bowman became an unstoppable duo in the first quarter, combining for 10 total points that helped boost Carlinville to an early 15-9 advantage. The offense cooled off in the second quarter, but a strong defensive showing prevented Lincolnwood from putting a game-changing run together. The Cavaliers went into halftime with a 20-13 lead.
"I really felt like we did what we wanted to and forced them out of what they wanted to do," praised Carlinville head coach Alan Cooper.
Carlinville re-ignited the offensive flame with a 19-point outburst in the third. Jarrett Easterday shook off the rust of a scoreless first half and added seven of those 19 points to his stat line. By the time the fourth quarter hit, the Cavies were all over the Lancers, 39-17. Lincolnwood showed signs of life on offense with 17 points in the final eight minutes, but the defense was unable to kill off Carlinville's momentum. A 15-point counterattack proved to be more than enough as the Cavies put the cherry on top of the sundae.
With the exception of Shawn Goebel's 18 tallies, the Lancers were held to just 16 total team points. Walton scored 16 of his own to lead a balanced Carlinville scoring attack. Michael Byots was solid for the Cavaliers as well. The junior guard continued his hot tournament pursuit by adding 10 points on five field goals. Byots previously scored 21 points in a 71-54 loss to Vandalia.
"Our guys are really starting to play like I know they can. Our energy level and teamwork has been so much better in the last nine games than the first seven. When we play with that energy and work together, we are going to have some very positive outcomes," said a proud Cooper.
All of the remaining tournament games originally scheduled for last weekend were canceled. Carlinville will make up their remaining games on each of the next two Wednesdays. The Cavaliers will face Nokomis on Jan. 16 at 6:15 p.m. and Mulberry Grove at 5 p.m. on Jan. 23. Both contests will be played at Morrisonville High School.

Q: Download PDF in Rails Show Page with Different PDF per Show I'm trying to add a PDF download link on a blog I've created and am having trouble with the linking.
I consulted several SO posts (like this and this) to get as far as I have, but seeing as I'm working off variables (because I'm on blogs#show they only got me so far.
In my form, I have @blog.link_text for the exact link text that should show on the page (e.g. "Download a Free Printable PDF for Your Notes") and @blog.link_filename to store the path of the PDF that should be downloaded.
On blogs#show I have the following link in ERB:

    <%= link_to download_pdf_path(@blog.link_filename), type: "application/pdf" do %>
      <%= @blog.link_text %>
    <% end %>

Then in my routes.rb I have this:
  get "download_pdf", to: "blogs#download_pdf"

Finally, in my blogs_controller.rb I have the download_pdf method:
  def download_pdf(filename)
    send_file filename, type: "application/pdf"
  end

I currently have "app/assets/images/house_tour_notes.pdf" as the @blog.link_filename value, but I've tried a variety of other values.  I currently have a copy of the PDF in images and in public.
The link appears properly on the page, but when it's clicked, I get:
No route matches [GET] "/download_pdf.%22app%2Fassets%2Fimages%2Fhouse_tour_notes.pdf%22"

Can anyone help troubleshoot this?  Where am I going wrong?

A: I think you can fix this easily by approaching it differently. The link could go to the blogpost itself:

  <%= link_to download_pdf_path(@blog), type: "application/pdf" do %>
    <%= @blog.link_text %>
  <% end %>

Change the route:
get "blogs/:id/download_pdf", controller: 'blogs', action:'download_pdf', as: 'download_pdf'

Then change the controller:
def download_pdf
  @blog = Blog.find(params[:id])
  send_file Rails.root.join(@blog.filename), type: "application/pdf"
end

For a moment, imagine the Blessed Virgin Mary tidying her home and preparing meals. Or picture her tenderly bathing the Son of God, gently placing a kiss on his forehead before putting him into bed. Although Mary was supremely graced by God, she was not free from the duties of her vocation. As a young Jewish mother, she had many daily obligations. Whereas her life as a Queen was hidden with God, her actions were informed by her pure love of God.
"We could go on and on as to what the opinions and feelings of people are towards the Church. We could look at various theological aspects of its teaching authority and its apostolic succession, but we would inevitably reach an impasse with argument piled upon argument. With this in mind let us look at the Church and its function as St. Paul did and see it for what it is—the Bride of Christ the Mother from whose womb of grace each of us was born to a new life a life of Sonship." (My Mother–The Church).
"The Church is a Mother because she is a Bride who is forever bringing forth children of light, pillars of holiness, sources of inspiration, challengers of truth, and defenders of the Faith" (My Mother–The Church).
As I wrote in a previous post, Mary has universal appeal. Therefore, we relate to the Blessed Virgin Mary as children of God. She calls us to return to the Father. Despite her meekness, we know she is the one to "crush" the serpent (Genesis 3:15) as the mother of the Redeemer. Similarly, she is the "handmaid of the Lord", the Woman in the Proto-Evangelium or "first gospel" (CCC 410). God is doing something new in creation. Do we expect that He can do something new in wounded family life, too?
Indeed, the Holy Family embraced family life in the shadow of the Holy Cross. We are asked to do the same. Equally important is the perfection of their love by God's grace. As such, their humanity is not insignificant but emphasized in the Church's devotion. Thus, the Holy Family offers us a view of natural family relationships disposed to God's grace and new life in Christ.
We might ask, how did the Holy Family grow in faith, hope and love?
The same way it does in our own lives—day by day, in obedience and sacrifice. A caution: avoid the temptation to dismiss the Holy Family as "unrealistic." It can distort the meaning of Christian family life—by suggesting that holiness is only for "unique" or "lucky" families. Moreover, the Holy Family was not freed from material poverty or political and cultural circumstances; a reading of the Gospel reveals the very real trouble the family of Nazareth faced at times.
To put it another way, the Holy Family shows us how to live in the 'here and now'—with hearts surrendered to God. No matter how broken, wounded, or difficult family life and marriage can be, every family has hope in Jesus Christ. Furthermore, the Church teaches that family life is not a quaint, nostalgic idea. Conversely, in God's plan, it is a radically distinct communion of persons. Admittedly, we fall short sometimes—but God continues to offer mercy and grace. Do we avail ourselves of it, with obedient hearts?
Although the Savior of the World had no earthly siblings to trouble him as he studied, or to tease him as his facial hair appeared, he had "family" trouble. Our Lord's suffering on the Cross would cover every betrayal, accusation, insult or harsh word and deed spoken by every spouse, sibling, marital in-law, grandparent, cousin, aunt, uncle and every family member of the human family. Therefore, Christ our Brother suffered the wages of sin, death, rivalry, jealously, envy, pride, and hurt in the family of God. He answered us with His life and His Mother (John 19:27).
The Christian family finds fulfillment in the order of redemption: community, vocation and evangelization, all of which acts as a witness to God's love.
"The Catechism tells us that 'In the creation of the world and of man, God gave the first and universal witness to his almighty love and his wisdom, the first proclamation of the 4plan of his loving goodness, which finds its goal in the new creation in Christ' (315). Here we see the fundamental truth that, in the plan of God, creation itself is ordered to redemption. Thus the family as a created reality finds its full meaning as a Christian family, as a community for whom Jesus Christ himself is Savior. Jesus makes of this community, this family, an instrument of his own saving, redeeming work on behalf of humanity.
The world needs Christian families. At the heart of Christian family life is Christ. Many families today are deeply wounded and face distressing circumstances. There is nothing in marriage or any family life beyond God's divine assistance. Nothing. May is the month of Our Lady. St. John Paul II was deeply devoted to her. May the God of love and life, hear our prayer.
Through Your Son, Jesus Christ, born of woman, and through the Holy Spirit, the fountain of divine charity, grant that every family on earth may become for each successive generation a true shrine of life and love.
