Renting a Car at Watford City Centre
Local Car and Van Hire in Watford
Watford is in the county of Hertfordshire, on the edge of the Chiltern Hills, 17 miles from London. Humans first settled in the area centuries ago. However, it was the railway that came to the town in 1837, linking it to London and Birmingham, which led to its development as a regional centre for the Home Counties. Today, J D Wetherspoon, Camelot Group and Mothercare all have headquarters in Watford. Harlequin Shopping Centre opened in the town in 1992, offering 140 new shops. Recently it changed its name to Intu Watford and is still a focal point for shoppers. On the nearby High Street, there are bars and restaurants catering to every taste. The town has many parks and green spaces, several museums and theatres, and of course, Watford F.C., where Elton John still holds honorary life presidency of the club. It is also close to Leavesden Film Studios, where some of the Harry Potter films were made. Concerts by premier music industry stars take place at the Colosseum entertainment complex. The Enterprise Rent-A-Car site is a mile outside the town on the Cassio Road and is easily accessible by public transport or by taking up Enterprise's pick-up offer.
Cheap Van and Car Rental in Watford
Watford is close to both the M1 and M25 motorways, and it doesn't take long to drive into central London. Whether you are exploring locally, perhaps by visiting nearby St Albans, or going further afield, a hire car from Enterprise lets you set the timetable and removes your reliance on public transport. Look on the website for the best deals for car and van hire and book early to make sure you get the vehicle you want at a price to suit your pocket.
Watford Van Hire
Enterprise understands the reasons why their customers hire vans, so they make sure they have a great range of vans from market leaders to choose from. Whether you want to hire a small commercial runabout for a day or two or are looking for a longer lease, Enterprise will meet your requirements. If you need a larger vehicle to do a heavy or large removal job, Luton vans are available at very reasonable prices. Learn more about Enterprise van hire.
Enterprise takes great care of its fleet of cars, and they can provide all types of vehicle, from small economical runabouts through to sporty SUVs and people carriers. If you have a special occasion coming up, perhaps a dinner at that special restaurant or a weekend away at a country house hotel, why not travel in style and hire a car from Enterprise's premier range.
Driving Information in Watford
Its proximity to the motorway network makes Watford a great place to travel from. With three railways stations in the town, it's also easy to get to. The West Coast Mainline runs through Watford from Euston up to the North West and on to Scotland. Watford is the last stop on the Metropolitan Line of the London Underground and is also served by a comprehensive bus service. Visitors should have no trouble parking as there are nine car parks in the town, the largest of which is Gade, with over 600 spaces.

Delroy Edwards has come a long way. 2012 marked his Introduction into the world of Dance Music via Ron Morelli's Imprint LIES. After offering up essential dance floor singles like '4 Club Use Only' and 'Heart and Soul' Edwards' established himself as a producer with a unique touch and style. With a growing desire to control his own output and make a more significant statement, Delroy set off to start his own imprint, L.A. Club Resource. Creatively directing his own imprint became a platform for him and over the course of two years L.A.C.R. created one of the most palpable musical experiences in the field. The label released music in a range of styles from a span of generations, the only constant was the high output and stellar art direction. Many releases produced by the label head himself, Delroy's production were lauded for their piercing simplicity, grace and attitude. In his first LP for the label, Edwards' has arranged a sincerely personal moment. The 30-track effort marks a special moment in his growth blending current interests in punk and electronics into an outsider narrative like no other.

Instagram trolls said Halsey's natural hair 'looks like a wig' — and she had the perfect response
Marci Robin ,
Halsey responded to people who thought her natural hair was a wig.
Christopher Polk/Getty
Halsey posted a selfie featuring her natural hair on Instagram.
Some people weren't convinced it was actually her real hair.
She responded to the criticism on Twitter, and also posted a throwback photo of her natural hair as a toddler to shut down the speculation.
After her music, Halsey is probably best known for her ever-changing hairstyles. A huge fan of wigs, she's been seen wearing everything from a green bob to a long, blonde ponytail, and she also has a penchant for occasionally shaving her head. Apparently, she's been growing out her most recent buzz cut; on Friday night, she was ready to show off her progress by posting a mirror selfie that revealed her voluminous natural curls.
The photo, posted to both Instagram and Twitter, was accompanied by the caption "new growth, new growth; all these fades I outgrew." We see Halsey wearing a white bathrobe in what appears to be a hotel bathroom — she's currently on a world tour — and getting a good look at her curly, dark hair. She looks incredible, so it's no surprise that the photo got more than 800,000 likes on Instagram and hundreds of compliments.
Unfortunately, a number of people reacted to the photo either skeptically or downright negatively because of how they perceived Halsey's hair. Several people assumed it couldn't possibly be her real curls. "That's a wig stop it lol," one comment reads. Another says, "perm, wig?"
new growth, new growth; all these fades I outgrew ❣
A post shared by halsey (@iamhalsey) on Aug 10, 2018 at 4:17pm PDT Aug 10, 2018 at 4:17pm PDT
Other commenters went farther than doubting Halsey's hair, accusing her of wearing a hairstyle they believe she shouldn't. "Afro? Cultural appropriation!!" one commenter posted. Another simply remarked with a hashtag: "#cultural appropriation."
Halsey's fans came to her defense, explaining that she's not only wearing her hair the way it naturally grows, but that her father is black. "She's biracial, and that is probably her natural texture," one follower said, replying to the accusations of cultural appropriation and suggestions that her hair couldn't possibly be that texture. "I love it, and PLEASE don't listen to the haters," another commented, hoping Halsey would read it.
She definitely read at least a few of the critical comments, because she took to Twitter on Saturday to say, "i can't believe I spent a whole damn year growing out my curls under those wigs for y'all to say my natural hair looks like a wig... some f----- up s--- lmao."
—h (@halsey) August 11, 2018
And even though she doesn't owe proof of her natural hair texture to anyone, she followed up her tweet with an Instagram photo of herself as a curly-haired toddler. The caption: "Stay Mad."
Stay Mad.
A post shared by halsey (@iamhalsey) on Aug 11, 2018 at 4:42am PDT Aug 11, 2018 at 4:42am PDT
It seems Halsey isn't taking the haters' words to heart, however. Even though she's been wearing a variety of wigs to events and on tour recently, she performed in Jakarta wearing her natural hair topped off with knotted headband.

A Smart Indoor Positioning System for Retail Automation
For the last few years, we've been hearing about the retail apocalypse, though we would characterize it more as a retail extinction event. The difference being that until a couple of months ago, the demise of many brick-and-mortar businesses was a long, drawn-out affair. No more. COVID-19 has caused a true retail apocalypse – goodbye, JCPenney, Pier One, J Crew, and company – by hastening the death of these ailing giants. There's obviously a knock-on effect on tech companies shopping retail automation solutions. However, for one small Silicon Valley startup spun out of MIT, the novel coronavirus brought an unexpected opportunity for its thermal-based indoor positioning system.
You're Being Followed
We've been covering the automation of retail for quite some time, from cashierless stores to robotic fulfillment centers in retailers like Walmart. The real money, of course, is in marketing. But it's no longer necessary to blast messages and advertisements across a black hole and hope a few escape the gravitational pull of customer indifference. Today's retail tech promises marketing precision by attempting to track and predict customer behavior in real-time both online and in the physical world.
A company like Zenreach, for example, makes a pretty good case of ROI for its WiFi hotspot marketing software that tracks how well the store's message is doing based on how many people walk through the door. Audio beacons are another way that stores can directly track customers by using sound to locate people through their smartphones. These technologies do start to leak into the creepy zone when you realize that the devices are communicating about you and your shopping behavior at a frequency you can't detect. They also think you've put on a bit too much weight with all of the COVID-19 stress eating.
In fact, there are quite a few indoor positioning systems that scientists and startups have developed to track motion and trajectory. Not all of it is directed at marketing. WiFi motion sensors, for example, use WiFi signals for various smart home applications like security and even in-home elderly care, with algorithms trained to detect falls and too many trips to the cookie jar.
Briefly About Butlr
And then there's the indoor positioning technology from Butlr that is designed for both retail automation and the smart home market, using thermal sensors and artificial intelligence to precisely track and predict the movement of people. Founded only last year, Butlr raised an undisclosed Seed round last year from 500 Startups. While already profitable – more on that below – the company is raising money in what founder and CEO Honghao Deng describes as an oversubscribed round if all the investors come through.
Butlr may be new to the tech scene but the technology under the hood has been under development for years, particularly during the time the team spent at MIT Media Lab City Science research group, led by Kent Larson. Yeah, we didn't know who he was either, but he has his own Wikipedia page for being one of the world's chief thinkers and tinkerers around urban design and technology. Part of that work has involved building wireless ambient sensing networks that can capture people's behavior without violating their privacy, Deng explained. The theory, in part, is that such a system can provide intelligence about how people use city services to inform future iterations of urban planning. Further into the future, we could build smart cities that interact and respond to us intuitively.
Deng's own research at MIT focused on these sorts of "responsive-built environments," and he also worked as a research scientist at Airbnb Samara, the company's offshoot design studio. Deng recruited some of the gang from his previous project teams to help lead Butlr, including CPO Jiani Zeng, CTO Ziran Zhang, and CDO Ioanna Sotiriou. Incidentally, Larson is the company's technology advisor.
Butlr at Your Service
Butlr's technology is based on a network of wireless thermal sensors that can fit in the palm of your hand and run for more than two years on a single battery. The sensor itself is similar to the infrared sensors used to activate the flush mechanism on automatic toilets in public restrooms (that no one can go into anymore). The company claims the hardware is only about 10% of the cost of a smart camera but with edge-computing capability. Algorithms take multiple pixels of thermal data, which in action looks like a grid of squares blinking as the sensor picks up a person's heat signature, and translate that into real-time indoor positioning.
Credit: Butlr
But that's not all. "We translate this kind of behavior data into analytics and also powerful automations for both retail and also living space," Deng said.
In retail, the system knows how many people are in a store and in front of which specific shelves, tracking them all the way to the checkout counter. The idea is to produce the same sort of analytics possible from following online clicking behavior but in the offline world of the brick-and-mortar store. Such data can help retailers, for example, optimize product placement based on foot traffic.
Butlr signed a $1 million contract with an undisclosed company to begin rolling out its sensor systems in 200,000 stores. The company also started to build upon the capabilities of its indoor positioning system so that the platform could understand shopper behavior well enough to push coupons or other promotions for specific items or services customers showed interest in.
And then a little pandemic hit the world.
It didn't take long for Butlr to pivot and leverage its technology to meet this new challenge, which in retrospect seems especially suited to the problem at hand – making sure people keep the hell away from each other. Originally, Butlr's existing clients had proposed the startup turn the thermal sensing network into a body temperature sensor. A pilot test showed it could kind of work as a frontline screening tool, but Deng said it quickly became apparent that Butlr could be put to better use by helping manage store occupancy and queues to maintain social distancing.
"Many grocery chains are worried about the situation right now, especially for protecting their staff members," Deng noted.
Using QR codes and an app, customers can get real-time info about queue waiting times and store occupancy. The system also provides information about average occupancy throughout the day so that shoppers can find the optimal time to hoard replenish toilet paper and sanitizer. On the flip side, stores can minimize or eliminate current contact points, such as having employees manually manage queues, by automating when customers can enter the store safely.
Deng said there is a lot of interest in Butlr from U.S. retail customers, and it is already working with a California-based grocery chain to install the system. "We're seeing very strong demand. Hopefully, we can help as many stores as possible, especially when more retail stores start to gradually open up."
Smarter Living
The long-term goal, of course, is to continue to develop both Butlr's retail and smart home solutions. The latter platform is like having Alexa but without the annoying misunderstandings and 24-hour sound surveillance. The algorithms learn how to interpret certain behaviors in order to adjust automatically as a person interacts with a space. For instance, as a person moves through her apartment, the lights may adjust as she sits at a desk or plops down on the couch to read. After struggling through a TPS report, she may fall asleep on the couch, and Butlr dims the lights and closes the blinds. Nighty, night.
Deng also sees the potential for other use cases. "The sensors are particularly useful in assisted living," he said. "We can detect whether someone falls down or help people with kinetic challenges through seamless automation."
We may never find a better reason to embrace advances in IoT-enabled smart cities, urban air mobility, robotic healthcare, and other autonomous technologies than a highly infectious virus. Automation becomes less about cheap convenience and more about the value of safe and reliable systems for delivering goods and services. The intelligent indoor positioning system from Butlr is certainly selling us on the idea that we can have both without living in a surveillance state – where privacy is something we have automatically rather than hoard instinctively.

Investigation Launched by Grand Prive Group
eCOGRA was commissioned to investigate Affiliates Program closure.
This was released today by eCOGRA:
London, 7 December 2009 – The Grand Privé group has been following the often inaccurate information exchanges on the Internet regarding the closure of Grand Privé Affiliates with interest, mindful of its reputation as a responsible and respectable business.
Management has reached the conclusion that there is a need to present its point of view, and more importantly to address any perceived shortcomings regarding payments to affiliates genuinely impacted by the Grand Privé Affiliates closure.
The company has therefore decided to make the following factual disclosures:
For purely commercial reasons, in August 2008 a decision to close Grand Privé effective 1 December 2008 was taken, and a communication exercise aimed at affiliates commenced.
This was followed by payment to all affiliates of all amounts owed.
The termination was, in Management's opinion, conducted according to the terms of Grand Privé's contract with affiliates, and in addition to these Grand Privé also entered into mutually agreeable compensation settlements with all affiliates who at that time had players considered to be reasonably active.
Following these initiatives, Management has not become aware of one single affiliate claim for compensation being submitted directly to Grand Privé, despite a rising noise level on the Internet.
Nevertheless, the company is prepared to concede that certain smaller and relatively inactive affiliate accounts may feel prejudiced by the closure, and acknowledges that this needs to be addressed with both an apology and a fair and reasonable financial settlement.
Moving forward from this factual base, Grand Privé proposes to address both reputational and payment issues in a transparent and forthright manner as follows:
By commissioning the independent, fully qualified and professional auditing services of eCOGRA to investigate the circumstances surrounding the Grand Privé Affiliates closure both within and without the company and issue a public report;
eCOGRA will additionally facilitate the submission of claims by any affiliate that considers an amount to be owing by the Grand Privé Affiliate program as a result of player wagering activity subsequent to 1 December 2008; and
Perform a full and professional review of the program software and data to confirm amounts owing to claimants at 21 December 2009.
Grand Privé will cooperate whole-heartedly with this process, and has asked eCOGRA to involve all leading affiliate watchdog organisations in informing affiliates of their opportunity to submit legitimate claims.
We have agreed on eCOGRA's insistence that we will be bound by its findings and recommendations arising from the investigation, remaining at arm's length from the enquiry unless asked for pertinent information.
Grand Privé wishes to emphasise that its primary concern is to address any genuine wrongs in a fair and forthright manner, and it will lend every effort in order to do this.

On 17 January 2008, a British Airways Boeing 777‑200ER crash-landed 330 metres short of the intended landing runway, 27L, at London Heathrow after a loss of engine thrust on short final. This un-commanded reduction of thrust was found to have been the result of ice causing a restriction in the fuel feed system. Prompt crew response minimized the extent of the inevitable undershoot so that it occurred within the airport perimeter.
On 17 January 2008, a Boeing 777-200 powered by Rolls Royce Trent 800 engines and being operated by British Airways on a scheduled passenger flight from Beijing to London Heathrow with a relief pilot present on the flight deck was on an ILS approach to runway 27L at destination with the AP and A/T engaged after an uneventful flight and in day Visual Meteorological Conditions (VMC). At approximately 2 nm from touchdown, there was a sudden substantial loss of thrust on both engines which could not be restored by flight crew action. The aircraft touched down just within the airfield perimeter but 330 metres short of the runway threshold before sliding 372 metres towards and almost onto the runway and coming to a stop.
There was a substantial leakage of fuel and also of some oxygen, but no fire started and a successful evacuation was achieved using all the slides. One of the 152 occupants suffered a serious injury caused by impact from a detached part of the landing gear assembly which penetrated the fuselage during the ground slide and 46 others suffered minor injuries, mainly during the evacuation. Substantial damage occurred to the aircraft landing gear and the engines were subject to ingestion of surface material and functional disruption during the ground slide.
An Investigation was carried out by the UK AAIB with the involvement of various assisting parties including Boeing, Rolls Royce and the NTSB. The DFDR, CVR and various component Non Volatile Memory (NVM) recorded on the Quick Access Recorder (QAR) was available, and the combination of sources helped the development of the findings on causation of what was soon established to have been fuel starvation. The QAR buffer caused the loss of 45 seconds of data prior to the accident outcome but, critically for the investigation, the NVM provided a record of the position of each Fuel Metering Valve (FMV), a parameter which was not recorded on the DFDR fitted.
In respect of the fuel loaded, it was determined that there had been sufficient on board and that neither the fuel temperature at loading nor the fuel temperature during the flight had been unique or outside of the certificated operating envelope of the aircraft. However, a data mining exercise showed that the accident flight was "unique amongst 175,000 flights (in) having a low cruise fuel flow and a high fuel flow during approach while at a low fuel temperature". At 800 feet agl, and approximately 2 nm from touchdown following a 'monitored approach' in accordance with Operator SOP, the First Officer had become PF. At 720 feet agl, the right engine suffered an uncommanded thrust reduction to 1.03 EPR with fuel flow 6000 pph and then seven seconds later the left engine suffered a similar uncommanded thrust reduction to 1.02 EPR with fuel flow 5000 pph. At this point, both engine FMVs had moved to fully open and both EECs had been demanding maximum fuel flow for more than two seconds to no effect. This occurred 48 seconds before the subsequent touchdown and with the AP still engaged. The PF had intended to disconnect the AP at 600 ft but did not do so as he had become distracted by the engine rollback. As the AP attempted to follow the ILS GS, the airspeed reduced but when a manual restoration of thrust was attempted, there was no response.
At 240 feet agl, the aircraft commander retracted the flap from 30° to 25° which it was calculated had increased the distance to touchdown by about 50 metres. At 200 feet agl the stick shaker had activated and, as it became obvious that a touchdown short of the runway threshold was inevitable, the aircraft commander made a 'MAYDAY' call to ATC three seconds before touchdown. At the operation of the stick-shaker, the PF had pushed forward on the control column and the AP disconnected. The aircraft struck the ground at a recorded 2.9g and at a rate of descent of about 1400 fpm some 330 metres short of the Runway 27L threshold and then slid 372 m before coming to rest. It was noted that the APU had not been running when thrust was lost and that a subsequent attempt to start it had not been completed prior to touchdown.
There had been insufficient time for the flight crew to issue a 'brace brace' command prior to the touch down but an order to evacuate was given by the aircraft commander once the aircraft had stopped. The evacuation alarm (not a mandatory requirement on the aircraft) was later also found to have operated satisfactorily in all except one cabin location.
It was found that during the aircraft evacuation actions taken by the flight crew, the engine fire switches had been operated (by the First Officer) prior to the engine cut off switches (by the aircraft commander) contrary to the requirements of the aircraft manufacturer checklist. The effect of this was that 6750 kg of fuel had leaked out of the engines until the valves were manually closed. The existence of SB 777-28-0025, which had not been incorporated on the accident aircraft but which had the effect of causing the fuel valve involved to shut upon operation of the corresponding engine cut off switch even if the fire switch had been pulled, was noted.
A fuel flow restriction upstream of each of the HP fuel pumps was confirmed by signs of fresh cavitation in both pumps. This restriction was also established as having been downstream of the forward boost pump connections into the fuel manifolds. After tests, it was concluded that the restrictions had most probably occurred at the face of the Fuel Oil Heat Exchangers (FOHEs). Tests showed that increasing the fuel flow could cause accreted ice to be released from the walls of the fuel pipes and that this ice would then be able to obstruct fuel passage through the face of the FOHE. It was found that it was not possible for ice to cause the fuel flow restrictions evidenced as having occurred during the accident flight in way other than other than at the FOHE. It was concluded that the engine rollbacks which occurred had been a direct result of lack of available fuel to meet the commanded thrust setting and that ice obstruction at the FOHE was the definite cause of fuel starvation at the right hand engine and the probable cause of the same at the left hand engine.
Accreted ice from within the fuel system released, causing a restriction to the engine fuel flow at the face of the FOHE, on both of the engines.
Ice had formed within the fuel system, from water that occurred naturally in the fuel, whilst the aircraft operated with low fuel flows over a long period and the localised fuel temperatures were in an area described as the 'sticky range'.
The FOHE, although compliant with the applicable certification requirements, was shown to be susceptible to restriction when presented with soft ice in a high concentration, with a fuel temperature that is below -10°C and a fuel flow above flight idle.
Certification requirements, with which the aircraft and engine fuel systems had to comply, did not take account of this phenomenon as the risk was unrecognised at that time.
During the Investigation, on 28 November 2008, a Boeing 777-200ER being operated by Delta Airlines from Shanghai to Atlanta suffered an in-flight engine rollback on one engine which recovered normal function after an 8000 feet descent and the intended flight was subsequently completed. An investigation by the NTSB with assistance from the UK AAIB concluded that similar causation had applied and four Safety Recommendations similar to some of those developed by the UK Investigation were issued to the FAA and EASA in March 2009.
The Final Report was published on 9 February 2010.
In response to AAIB Safety Recommendation 2008-047, Boeing introduced operational changes to provide interim mitigation of the risk of engine fuel starvation attributable to fuel icing in Trent 800 powered Boeing 777s.
In response to the 2009 recommendations by both this Investigation and the related NTSB Incident Investigation previously noted, Rolls Royce developed a modified version of the FOHE installed on the accident aircraft which was then mandated for retrofit and new build by EASA. Replacement of all the Foes on Rolls Royce powered Boeing 777s with the new design was completed during September 2010.

Q: Host header spoofing Using Firefox I can tamper with the host header so that a call to localhost/forum/ has the host header spoofed to be www.mydomain.com
The reason I am doing this is because I am developing a reverse proxy that will execute when certain domains are detected. Everything is working, well nearly everything.
The proxy code detects the request and reroutes it to another server, and the server responds with the correct html content. The problem is with external script files referenced by the returned html. So for example
<script type="text/javascript" src="init.js"></script>

This will result in an unspoofed (is there such a word?) request from the browser of
http://localhost/init.js

By inspecting this request, the issue is that the host header has reverted to localhost not www.mydomain.com.
Is there a way, without changing the hosts file, to set a host header to be used for all requests made during a page load? I would like to tamper with the host header for all requests spawned from the initial navigation.

A: I had it backwards. My reverseProxy was reading the hosts file and redirecting the requests on the basis of how the hostname resolved.
The correct way is to change the hosts file, and then your proxy reads a web.config file to get the redirection. That is only on the dev box, when deployed the hosts file does not need to be changed because the client will be on a remote machine. So it only requires a web.config file entry.

Transfusions of COVID Survivor Blood a Safe Treatment for Patients
WEDNESDAY, June 24, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Blood plasma transfusions from people who have developed antibodies to the new coronavirus appear to be safe for many COVID-19 patients, a large study suggests.
The experimental treatment -- called convalescent plasma therapy -- is popular because no drug has been approved specifically to treat coronavirus infection.
A week after 20,000 COVID-19 patients deemed at risk for progressing to a severe or life-threatening condition received plasma therapy, their risk of death dropped to 9%, compared to 12% in a previous study, Mayo Clinic researchers reported.
Fewer than 1% had serious side effects, the researchers added.
The study included men and women, and significant numbers of patients who were Black, Hispanic or Asian.
"We're optimistic, but must remain objective as we assess increasing amounts of data," principal investigator Dr. Michael Joyner, a vice chairman for research at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., said in a clinic news release.
The researchers can't say for sure that the transfusions from recovered patients save lives. Joyner's team pointed out that the results might be due to patients being less ill, or to better medical care. But because the treatment is being widely used with COVID-19 patients, study continues.
Right now, convalescent plasma therapy is the only antibody treatment for COVID-19.
Plasma is the liquid part of the blood. It contains both red and white blood cells, as well as the colorless platelets the body deploys to clot and stem bleeding from wounds or cuts. And it's also where the antibodies are, floating in the liquid.
The findings were published June 18 in the journal Mayo Clinic Proceedings.

The biggest Indian festival season is about to kick on. A time to splurge by consumers & an opportunity for businesses to increase their turnover by making maximum customers turn their way in search of massive and appealing discounts and offer deals. India is a country of diverse cultures & religions as reported by Rajya Sabha, India celebrates 51 festivals in a year, consisting of 17 nationally recognised festivals.
A country where big and expensive decisions are religion driven due to the faith and rituals and traditionality the Indians follow. To make the most of these festivals, retailers & other vendors offer various incentives like discounts & freebies to attract more customers. Festivals incite a feeling of togetherness in the society as well as the economy, working as stimuli for the market forces.
Despite having a slow economy & a dip in the Gross Domestic Product of India in last quarter, Indian festivals will provide a respite to the Indian economy. A sector that has enjoys majorly during the festive season is the e-commerce sector.
Last season, India witnessed a face-off between the biggest competitors in the e-commerce sector — Amazon & Flipkart. Flipkart claimed that their sales doubled when compared to the previous year during the festival season, while Amazon didn't comment on its overall sales but stated about a 150% increase in sales in the smartphone category & a 3.7 times sales rate in the large appliances category.
According to 2011 enumeration, we have 2.1 million temples the nation over which draw in a tremendous load of riches through offerings. Temples and festivals together lift up the entire economy, flourish the business and keep Indian economy booming through expenditure balance.
ASSOCHAM estimates data on various festivals in India and their impact on the Indian economy.
Ganesh Chaturthi to generate about Rs 20,000 crore business across its presence for 10 days with 20 percent CAGR, particularly in the states of Maharashtra and Telangana. Hyderabad, on the other hand, alone generates Rs 5,000 crore business in Ganesh Chaturthi festival and is an employer for more than 20,000 families during the peak season as well the year round.
Like Ganesh Chaturthi, Durga Puja contributes to about Rs 40,000 crore business in India with almost 35 percent CAGR, major of which is in West Bengal. Event management companies all over the world including companies from France and the US are engaging in Kolkata in supporting the entire caravan of the festival including advertisements and cultural event programmes at Durga Puja pandals. During the whole occasion of Durga Puja, food and beverages also generate Rs 50-60 crore business.
All the festivals in India shoots-up the unorganised economy on a large scale and provide enormous employment opportunities for low-skilled and traditional manufacturing sector along with small to micro level entrepreneurs. Raksha Bandhan festival generates about Rs 400 crore business also provides employment to more than 4,000 families in Gujarat.
During Diwali, electronics, automobiles, and apparel dominate the share of businesses around the country with a whopping 52 percent of the apparel products sales take place and every individual spends 20 percent additional for various celebration reasons.
The International Kite Festival, Uttarayan, in January, generates about Rs 500 crore business in the country with a large part of it in Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Delhi. Kite festival provides a boost to the kite industry which employs about 6000 families of Gujarat.
India is the largest consumer of Chinese products, a market of about $72 billion, importing all sorts of goods like toys, crackers, lighting, electronics, gift items, watches etc. Most of these products are being purchased during the festive seasons and these cheaper Chinese goods give tough competition to Indian manufacturers and are a threat to their livelihood. Most of these items are produced in small and micro industries in India with a small investment, low technology and lack of skill. It is hard for them to compete with the large-scale, low-cost produce by Chinese counterparts.
According to a survey done by ASSOCHAM in different parts of the country, 8-10 Lakh jobs are being lost due to Chinese products capturing Indian market on Holi. 75% of colours as well as a huge share of plastic products and water guns used in India last year were from China. On Diwali, according to Tamil Nadu Fireworks and Amorces Manufacturers Association, 40% of the Rs 10,000 crore fireworks business was captured by Chinese products, affecting 2.5 lakh Indian artisans adversely.There are many other instances too like when China dumped a lot of Vinayaka idols at cheap prices to shut down Indian idol manufacturing units.
The winners in the festival season in e-commerce were Flipkart's "Big Billion Days Deal", Snapdeal's "Yeh Diwali Dil ki Deal" & Amazon's "Great Indian Festive Sale". It is an appreciable fact that out of the three Giants, two are India's own homegrown online commercial centres.
The economy banks on festivals to boost its GDP numbers.As we enter the official festival season of the year, the conditions are conducive to increased spending, despite skirmishes on the border. Flipkart earned ₹1,400 crore on the first of its Billion Days, the highest sales it has recorded in a day.
The new RBI Governor, Urjit Patel, has sweetened the deal by lowering interest rates, and companies in auto and FMCG sectors are salivating over the speed at which cash registers will roll this month. Auto sales were already up 21 percent in September, compared with last year.
Diwali, which the country will celebrate later this month, is unquestionably the biggest shopping stimulus. Right from the neighbourhood mithaiwala and grocery store to white goods and gold retailers, everyone cashes in on the celebratory mood.
Companies from sectors such as auto, FMCG and white goods generate up to 35 percent of their annual sales during Diwali and the remaining part of the festival season. It helps as almost all of them come out with new models and products to lure the buyer. This automatically helps India strengthen its economy. We get the maximum number of public holidays a year globally, and it ensures that all through the year, our GDP keeps getting boosters.
None might compete with the grandeur of Diwali, but other festivals to pass out with impressive numbers. Ganesh Chaturthi, which just went by, might not be as widely celebrated as Diwali, but still managed to provide a ₹25,000 crore-push to the economy. In Mumbai, just one Ganesh idol was insured for ₹300 crore. Down south, Pongal and Onam are the biggest shopping seasons in Tamil Nadu and Kerala. And Dussehra has a similar impact in West Bengal. Fortunately for us in India, the busy festival calendar makes sure we have many reasons to celebrate and spend.
With an exceedingly high number of festive occasions being celebrated in India, which incorporates everything from Pongal to Raksha Bandhan, there are unquestionably a considerable number of occasions for online merchants and sellers to contemplate over. Paytm even specified the commitment of the Indian Wedding season to its deals.
The ascent of marketplace events, for example, Flipkart's Enormous Billion Days Deal to correspond with Navratri and Myntra's 'Finish of Reason Deal' to take after the finish of the festive season, has inspired an emotional response with customers and merchants alike.
Worldwide Events like Thanksgiving and Black Friday are additionally giving incredible breadth to Indian online dealers to exchange goods and services over borders. To place things in context, as of now the Indian Festive season is worth $8 billion, while in the US it has touched $69 billion.
Festivals bring a breath of fresh air for the economy, separating the pertaining market forces & sentiments of consumers.
They provide a great boost to the businesses in the economy. This opportunity needs to be fully exploited by our India Manufacturers especially the small-scale producers. The scale of Indian manufacturing needs to increase and we should promote to celebrate swadeshi festivals with swadeshi items.
As our Prime Minister Narendra Modi has stated, "Let us vow that by 2022 when we check 75 years of Independence, we would take the country to more noteworthy statures of advance. Give us a chance to submit ourselves as a person, as a national, as a general public and association that we would contribute to the advancement of the nation" through empowering swadeshi logic and economy.


1834 Indenture system, an alternate source of labour for British Empire, first started with the labourers being sent to work in Mauritius, Uganda and Nigeria for an initial 5 year period. This system became widely known as "Girmit" - a mispronunciation of the word "agreement" by the non-English speaking Indian labourers.
1875 Fiji first Governor Arthur Gordon arrives. He has already served as Governor in Mauritius and Trinindad and has encountered indentured labourers. His preference for indentured labour as opposed to native labour stems from his unwillingness to employ native labour on the grounds that it will disrupt village life.
1879 First indentured labourers arrive in Fiji aboard the Leonidas. The ship set sail in Calcutta on March 03 and arrived in Fiji on May 14, with 373 male and 149 female labourers. Cholera, dysentery and smallpox were also onboard - 17 labourers had already succumbed to these diseases.
1882 Colonial Sugar Refining (CSR) company of Australia sets up its first sugar mill in Nausori.
Second emigrant ship arrives in Fiji.
Fiji's capital moved from Levuka to Suva.
1884 The fifth emigrant ship to Fiji, Syria was wrecked on the Nasilai reef, off Nausori on May 11 killing fifty six immigrants and three lascars (Indian sailors).
First lot of labourers complete their five year contract. Sixty percent choose to remain in Fiji.
1908 Sizes of "Lines" in which the labourers are housed is changed from 10 feet by 7 feet to 10 feet by 12 feet.
1912 Legislation passed requiring employers of indentured labourers to provide school buildings.
1916 Indenture system is officially abolished by Britain.
The last shipload of labourers arrive in November aboard the Sutlej V. This is the 87th ship that brought labourers to Fiji. Some 60, 553 labourers came to Fiji between 1879 and 1916.
Before Fiji was ceded to Great Britain, some planters had tried to obtain Indian labour and had approached the British Consul in Levuka, Fiji but were met with a negative response. In 1870 a direct request by a planter to the Government of India was also turned down and in 1872, an official request by the Cakobau Government was informed that British rule in Fiji was a pre-condition for Indian emigration to Fiji. The early ancestors of Fijian Indians came from different regions and backgrounds from India and other neighboring countries. However, most came from rural villages in northern and western India.
In January 1879, thirty-one Indians, who had originally been indentured labourers in Réunion, were brought from New Caledonia to Fiji under contract to work on a plantation in Taveuni. These labourers demonstrated knowledge of the terms of the indenture agreement and were aware of their rights and refused to do the heavy work assigned to them. Their contract was terminated by mutual agreement between the labourers and their employers. In 1881, thirty-eight more Indians arrived from New Caledonia and again most of them left but some stayed taking Indian wives or island women.
The colonial authorities promoted the sugar cane industry, recognizing the need to establish a stable economic base for the colony, but were unwilling to exploit indigenous labour and threaten the Fijian way of life. The use of imported labour from the Solomon Islands and what is now Vanuatu generated protests in the United Kingdom, and the Governor Sir Arthur Hamilton-Gordon decided to implement the indentured labour scheme, which had existed in the British Empire since 1837. A recruiting office was set up in Calcutta, followed by another in Madras in 1902.
These officers were used to recruit labourers under the impression that Fiji was just over the horizon when in fact it was 1000's of kilometers away. A lot of people were kidnapped and brought over with false documents while some came under their own will.
There were smaller numbers from Punjab, Kashmir, Haryana, and other parts of India.
The contracts of the indentured labourers, which they called girmit (agreements), required them to work in Fiji for a period of five years. Living conditions on the sugar cane plantations, on which most of the girmityas (indentured labourers) worked, were often squalid. Hovels known as "coolie lines" dotted the landscape.
Public outrage in the United Kingdom at such abuses was a factor in the decision to halt the scheme in 1916.
After a further five years of work as an indentured labourer or as a khula (free labourer), they were given the choice of returning to India at the expense of the British government, or remaining in Fiji. The great majority opted to stay. After the expiry of their girmits, many leased small plots of land from Fijians and developed their own sugarcane fields or cattle farmlets. Others went into business in the towns that were beginning to spring up.The indenture system had two positive effects on subsequent generations. Firstly the need for people of different casts to live work and eat together led to an end of the caste system. Furthermore, shortage of females resulted in many marrying outside their caste. Another positive was the development of a new koiné language, known as Fiji Hindi formed from the Hindi dialects of Eastern Uttar Pradesh and Bihar (mainly Awadhi and Bhojpuri). The language was further enriched by the inclusion of many Fijian and English words. The language is now the mother tongue of almost all Fiji Indians and is the lingua franca of not only all the Fiji Indians but also of all communities where ethnic Indians are in a majority.

New Honor the Earth map on Enbridge Line 3.
If you are a reader of this blog, mostly likely you are strongly opposed to the proposed expansion and reroute of a tar sands crude oil pipeline through northern Minnesota (see map at right).
Enbridge has an old and failing Line 3 (the black line on the map). Enbridge proposes to abandon that line in the ground and install a new, larger pipeline along a new route (the red line on the map.) That new route crosses the Mississippi headwaters and endangers clean lakes, rivers and wild rice beds, and all for nothing. Minnesota's fossil fuel demand is actually declining.
If you are like a lot of people, you want to have your voice heard but don't have to time to wade through the hundreds of pages in the recently released draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS). Even the most ardent opponents struggle to get through it.
We have created a separate Enbridge Line 3 tab on our blog to organize this kind of information about Line 3 and make it easy to find. If you think we are missing content, please send us a comment.
Keep reading to get a taste of some of the fact sheets' analysis.
Enbridge has one of the worst safety records of major pipeline companies and was called out as incompetent by the National Transportation Safety Board for its role in the massive 800,000 gallon spill in Michigan's Kalamazoo River in 2010. Enbridge's pipelines had more than 800 spills in the U.S. and Canada between 1999 and 2010, leaking 6.8 million gallons of oil.
For more info and insights, click and read the fact sheets. The state will take public comments through July 10. Based on public comments, it will amend the EIS and release a final version.

Oh, baby! Mets win home opener behind deGrom, beat Phils 7-2
NEW YORK (AP) Everything was falling into place Friday for Jacob deGrom until he felt some stiffness beneath his right armpit.
The Mets' right-hander maintained his focus on the mound with a baby on the way, and New York got big hits from Neil Walker and Michael Conforto to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 7-2 in its home opener.
After throwing 76 pitches through six sharp innings, deGrom (1-0) was removed from his chilly season debut as a precaution with tightness in his right lat.
''I just said something to be smart about it. You know, early on, don't want to push it too much,'' deGrom said. ''I'm hoping it's elements. I'm not really that worried about it.''
Right up until Friday, it was uncertain if deGrom would start because his wife is due with their first child (a boy). He said all along he plans to head for home in Florida whenever she goes into labor.
So deGrom called his wife in the morning and received some comforting news: At her doctor's appointment Thursday, she was told the baby probably wouldn't arrive Friday.
''She probably knew better than anybody,'' manager Terry Collins said with a smile.
''I think that gave me a little peace of mind,'' deGrom said.
The 2015 All-Star hardly looked distracted - even knocking in the first run with a groundout. He yielded one run and five hits with six strikeouts and no walks against a Phillies lineup missing young bopper Maikel Franco, hit by a pitch Thursday in Cincinnati.
Mets captain David Wright mentioned deGrom's ''laser focus'' and said, ''It just seems like he finds a way.''
''Once I get out there I think the competitiveness takes over,'' deGrom explained, adding he wasn't concerned about a dip in velocity, either.
''It was cold out today. I think it'll be back sometime soon,'' he said. ''I don't feel any different. Like I said, I got a lot of swing-and-misses. If you see a guy late on the fastball it really doesn't matter what the radar gun says, if you're blowing it by him. So I think that's kind of how we read how our fastball is coming out.''
Lucas Duda lined a leadoff double in the sixth and Walker followed with a tiebreaking single, endearing himself to New York fans after being acquired from Pittsburgh in an offseason trade.
Conforto followed with an RBI double that chased Jerad Eickhoff (0-1), who faced the Mets for the fourth time in nine major league starts. He was doing fine once again until going back out to the mound following a trip around the bases in the top of the sixth.
''I'm in great shape, so it didn't affect me at all,'' Eickhoff said.
Walker added another RBI single and Conforto, who had three RBIs in his first home opener, hit a two-run single in a four-run seventh against left-hander James Russell.
Travis d'Arnaud capped the outburst with an RBI single off David Hernandez.
''I think this is what we're all expecting,'' Conforto said.
New York had two days off following a two-game split to start the season in Kansas City, which beat the Mets in the World Series last year. Former pennant-winning Mets stars Rusty Staub, John Franco and Edgardo Alfonzo hoisted the 2015 National League championship flag above the right-field stands at Citi Field during pregame festivities.
Odubel Herrera and Cesar Hernandez each had an RBI single for the Phillies, who are 0-4 for the first time since 2006.
''We're not the best hitting team in the league, but we're certainly better than we're showing,'' manager Pete Mackanin said. ''We've got to get everybody going. It seems like they're trying too hard.''
SEEN THAT BEFORE
Last season, deGrom went 6 1/3 innings to beat Philadelphia 2-0 in the home opener. ... Wright is batting .375 (18 for 48) in 12 home openers with at least one hit in every game.
Phillies: Franco was nursing a sore left forearm but was available off the bench. He'll be back in the lineup Saturday, Mackanin said. Andres Blanco started at third base.
Mets: Collins said he plans to give Wright a day off this weekend. ... RHP Zack Wheeler is scheduled to have a minor procedure Tuesday at the Hospital for Special Surgery to remove a suture knot in his right forearm, which is residue from his March 2015 Tommy John surgery, the team said. The suture knot has caused skin irritation, but Wheeler should be able to resume his throwing program within a few days and his return to the mound should not be affected, according to the Mets. The club is targeting July 1 for Wheeler's return to the rotation.
Phillies: Rookie RHP Vince Velasquez makes his Philadelphia debut on Saturday night, weather permitting.
Mets: RHP Bartolo Colon makes his first start this season at age 42 on Saturday night, followed by postgame fireworks.

CHATTANOOGA • Hours before the Tennessee shooting that killed five US servicemen, the suspected gunman texted a close friend a link to an Islamic verse that included the line: "Whosoever shows enmity to a friend of Mine, then I have declared war against him."
The gunman's family said in a statement late on Saturday that he had suffered from depression, and that they had experienced shock and horror over the violence.
The suspect's friend said he thought nothing of the text message at the time, but now wonders if it was a clue to Thursday's rampage in Chattanooga, which has reignited concerns about the radicalisation of young Muslim men.
"I didn't see it as a hint at the time, but it may have been his way of telling me something," the friend said on Saturday, requesting anonymity for fear of a backlash.
The suspect, Mohammod Youssuf Abdulazeez, a Kuwaiti-born naturalised US citizen, was killed in a gunfight with police.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is investigating the attack as an act of terrorism, but said it was premature to speculate on the gunman's motive.
Abdulazeez's family offered condolences to the families of the "victims of the shooting our son committed on Thursday".
"There are no words to describe our shock, horror and grief," they said in a statement.
"The person who committed this horrible crime was not the son we knew and loved," they said, adding that "for many years, our son suffered from depression" and "his pain found its expression in this heinous act".
While a firm connection between the 24-year-old suspect and radical Islam has not been established, the shooting follows a series of attacks or thwarted attacks in the United States and other countries by Muslims claiming to be inspired by the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) or other militant groups.
Abdulazeez returned from a trip to Jordan last year concerned about conflicts in the Middle East and the reluctance of the US and other countries to intervene, according to two friends who knew him since elementary school.
He later bought three assault rifles in an online marketplace and used them for target practice, they said. "That trip was eye-opening for him. He learnt a lot about the traditions and culture of the Middle East," said one of the two friends, the person who received the text message from Abdulazeez.
The night before the attack, just after 10pm, the friend received a text message from Abdulazeez with a link to a hadith, or Islamic teaching: http://sunnah.com/ nawawi40/38. He showed Reuters the text message on his phone.
Abdulazeez's friends said he occasionally smoked marijuana and drank alcohol, and struggled to reconcile that with his faith in Islam.
The first friend said tensions between Abdulazeez and his Palestinian parents had also upset him. His parents nearly got divorced in 2009, according to court records.
The friend said Abdulazeez had a well-paid job and had many plans for his life, including possibly starting a computer sales business in Chattanooga.
"He wanted to buy a car. He wanted a video console, to make a man cave - every guy's dream."
He said it was difficult to understand how his friend became the suspect in the rampage. "The signs just weren't there," he said.


A series of four workshops, making art with the scientists and myself for Norwich Science Festival. Fantastic activites from Quadram Institute and a chance to understand what goes on in your gut, have fun be creative and in the final session make smoothies on a bike.
My Arts Council England and Norfolk County Council funded residency has begun, with a pilot workshop for scientists at the stunning new Quadram Institute Centre in Norwich. Nine scientist came from the award winning Lindsay Hall's research group. They worked with my mini shadow theatre kits and combined visuals from their own research into gut bacteria in early life with images selected from magazines.
I am exhibiting in a group show at an eco centre, The Greenhouse Gallery, Norwich, from July 1st - 19th August, one of a series of exhibitions, exploring the health of our soil. It features my son harvesting peas.
Students had fun performing using elements of British Sign Language within projections inspired by Eduardo Paolozzi exhibition.
Saturday's workshop at The Whitechapel Gallery has been postponed and will be available for young Deaf students later in April, contact me for more information.


There's a consensus in the PC world that the realm of the RTS isn't what it used to be. Fans of the genre will fondly recall titles such as Red Alert and Dungeon Keeper in the early days before moving onto heavyweights such as Rome: Total War and Company of Heroes. Nowadays though, the MMO has taken over. Thought perplexing Strategy has been tossed aside by the brutish rush tactics of Warcraft and Co. So along comes Sins of a Solar Empire, looking to fill up that black hole with a meaty asteroid of RTS gameplay.
Load up the game and you're treated with an intro movie with a plot as convoluted as Star Wars Episode 1. It appears that humanity has fallen foul of alien races and religious sects that we simply cannot co-exist with. Without explaining too much and speaking in riddles, the narration more or less leaves you to figure out that there's a three way space battle on the cards, and we have to do everything in our power to protect humanity. So let's get going! What's our first mission? Who do we attack first? This is the first major disappointment of the game. There is no Campaign mode!
See the tree on the left? Handy for selecting individual units during a heated battle.
Battling away the tears, you then make your way over to the tutorial to get a slice of what the gameplay has to offer and let me tell you now, the first time you play it your brain will want to wither and die like a distant planet becoming a Red Dwarf. There's simply so much to take in initially and it's easy to feel lost, peering over your monitor in the hope of being easily distracted by something else in the office.
You'll be introduced to planet politics, how to tax your people, resource management, vessel constraints, research and tech trees amongst a pile of other things including how Geordi La Forge's eyes work in Star Trek. Ok, I made that last one up, but the initial feeling is one of confusion, especially when you clap your eyes on the gargantuan key list in the manual which is akin to reading a dictionary in Klingon.
This is a test of mettle though and will show what kind of gamer you really are. Sins of a Solar Empire just isn't for the casual market, plain and simple. It's for those who have lots of time and are have the patience to learn everything about the game. And the reward for all of this investment? You'll get a package with gargantuan space battles lasting for hours, even days at a time with superb visuals and a feeling of real triumph when you get to grips with everything and storm a galaxy.
Asteroids provide your crystals and metals. Make sure you get there first!
Cruisers are your best bet of winning the epic battles on offer. Build one ASAP!
The game looks very impressive indeed. As it's obviously set in space, you'll have to put up with your share of endless black with a few dots here and there for stars, but the impressive zoom function alleviates all of this, which shows the beauty of the Iron Engine. Ironclad have done a brilliant job with camera flexibility meaning you can be as close as possible to an epic space battle, and with a simple scroll of the mouse, can zoom out as far as possible to see the galaxy of planets you can travel to at your whim.
Start up single player and you're presented with a myriad of scenarios from survival of the fittest to all out exploration. The core goal is always the same though, to colonise and take over every planet before any of the other races. You're given one of three to choose from, the Human Trade Emergency Coalition (TEC), a psychic religious sect (Advent) or the strongest alien empire in the galaxy (Vasari). Each races personality is reflected on its fleet, the Vasari for instance can choose to focus on incapacitating ships in line with their slave trading nature while the TEC concentrate on stoic firepower such as missiles and nuclear firepower.
Of course there are the conventional RTS staples here, resource collecting comes in the form of mining crystals and metals from asteroids. Where it's different from the likes of Command and Conquer is that you can more or less leave it be, leaving you free to explore the galaxy at will with your units, which are cleverly selectable from a collapsible tree to the left of the screen. Clever because as you amass a sheer behemoth of ships, it would be hard to keep track of them in any other game. Not here as they're all laid out for you should you wish to select one at will, making management a simple affair for such a complex game.
You can zoom in as close to the battles as you like to watch the galactic power struggle.
Of course, being alien is the most fun. Who wouldn't want to destroy humanity?
Such a mechanic allows you to solely concentrate on building up your planets and ships ready to take on everyone else, but you'll need to be quick. Pirates are always on the loose and can be bribed by other races to take you out as soon as possible which can be frustrating, especially when you first pick up the game. Black market schematics can be used to your advantage though, meaning the highest bidder could be the difference between defeat and victory. Don't like the sound of that? Then simply switch it off in the options menu!
Where Sins of a Solar Empire is excellent value is also in its Multiplayer. Bored of spending hours traversing the galaxy looking for trouble? Then take it online and challenge a complete stranger. Where this is interesting is that the more diplomatic side of proceedings is exercised, make a pact with someone else to wipe out a rival? Or enlist the aid of pirates to stab your ally in the back? Whichever way you choose to do it, the size of online means that you'll probably spend hours doing it In closing, you could spend an entire lifetime playing Sins of a Solar Empire, it's that involving. But the drawback of this is that you'll need to spend half of that lifetime learning how to play it. If you're a casual gamer then steer clear, but If you have both the time and the inclination to devote a lot of time to learning the sometimes over complicated set up then you'll have more fun than some kind of space pun I can't think of at the moment. It's simply a must buy.

Why Trump's Inauguration Day will be better without celebs

There will be no Beyoncé wiggling on stage. Bruce Springsteen, Ariana Grande, John Legend and Elton John aren't going to be there either. In fact, pretty much every A-lister from the Hollywood and entertainment world has decided to skip Donald Trump's inauguration on Friday. And whether or not Trump himself is wrestling with that public rejection, the people who voted for him are not.
The "blue-collar billionaire" will have a day that's more befitting the working-class base that put him in the White House: one without fanfare or celebrities or fancy couture (although his wife, Melania, will most certainly be dressed to the nines). Call it the People's Inauguration, one that celebrates the ordinary American, and that suits his fans just fine.
"They could have zero entertainment at the inauguration, and I really don't think for one minute that it would matter," said Leslie Rossi, of Youngstown, Pa., a state that shocked the nation when it switched from blue to red on Election Day.
Rossi, a 46-year-old mother of eight, and her husband, Michael, 51, were so confident Trump was going to win that they booked their rooms in DC last July. The Rossi family own a mechanical testing and research company in Westmoreland County that employs about 200 people. They also own the legendary "Trump House," a nearly 100-year-old building painted entirely red, white and blue that's guarded by a 14-foot steel cutout of Trump's likeness.
"This is about a man and a movement and the people who participated and were inspired by it," Rossi said. "I suspect the events will reflect that, and that probably works for most people attending."
Melanie Patterson, a 57-year-old businesswoman from western Pennsylvania, echoes Rossi's sentiments.
"You know what they say about inaugural balls? You dance with the one who brought you there," said Patterson, who is attending the swearing-in ceremony with several friends. "Donald Trump is dancing and celebrating with the people who put him in the White House. Let Hollywood stay home or take a knee this time around. We will be fine."
Trump's events will be smaller than Barack Obama's — and will lift up the little guy, said Boris Epshteyn, director of communications for the Presidential Inaugural Committee. Our next president will have just three official inaugural balls, down from the 10 separate balls for Obama's 2009 inauguration. "He will also continue the official Commander-in-Chief Inaugural Ball — a tradition started by George W. Bush, but he will expand that ball to include first responders like firefighters and police officers as well as veterans, military families and wounded warriors."
'Donald Trump is dancing and celebrating with the people who put him in the White House. Let Hollywood stay home or take a knee this time around.'
- Melanie Patterson
The traditional parade — including high school marching bands, 4-H drill teams and the Boy Scouts — from the US Capitol to the White House is also being cut back. It has been shortened from two-and-a-half hours for Obama's last swearing-in to just one hour for Trump. Tom Barrack, chairman of Trump's inaugural committee, said "one of the biggest complaints people have about the inauguration is that the parade is too long and everyone is cold. The parade route is 1½ miles, it can be freezing cold and [the crowd] has been waiting since 6 a.m."
Barrack added that the parade will celebrate the armed forces: "There is going to be more military presence. There's going to be more participation. There's going to be an aircraft for the first time in a long time. You're going to have a better parade in a shorter period of time."
Barrack adds that Trump isn't that interested in receiving adulation, but would rather focus on getting things done. "It's mostly about America getting back to work. At the end of the day, that's his message. It's not about the coronation event for him. He's saying, 'I told you what I was going to do, let me get back and do it and judge me in the next 100 days or 200 days or 300 days.' That's what it's about. It's not about how good of a party he can throw."
Meanwhile, social commentator R. Couri Hay says there's a good reason fewer balls are being held this year: "The balls are a way to pay back the big donors, but Trump's campaign wasn't designed that way. He didn't have a [big] donor-based campaign."
While Trump did get some fat-cat support, he mostly self-funded his run and also relied on so-called small donors. In September, he broke the Republican record for the most money raised by a presidential candidate from donors who gave $200 or less — a total close to $100 million, according to Politico.
It's a good bet that this small-donor base isn't part of the DC elite, many of whom are clearing out of nation's capitol on inauguration night, said Kevin Chaffee, senior editor at Washington Life magazine.
"An awful lot of people who are disappointed with the results are leaving town," said Chaffee. "It's not like this incoming president has the entertainment and Hollywood-style people coming. Jon Voight is coming and a few of these odd ducks."
Obama's first inauguration attracted some of the biggest A-listers in America to perform including Beyoncé, Mary J. Blige, Jon Bon Jovi, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Herbie Hancock, John Mellencamp, Springsteen, U2, Usher and Stevie Wonder, among others.
For his second swearing-in, Beyoncé was back along with Jennifer Hudson, Alicia Keys, Brad Paisley, members of the "Glee" cast, Legend, Smokey Robinson, Lady Gaga, Tony Bennett and many more boldface names.
Trump, meanwhile, has allegedly struggled to book any high-level performers. According to reports, Elton John, Garth Brooks, KISS, Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli have all turned him down. Welsh warbler Charlotte Church said she was invited to sing and ridiculed the idea with a fiery tweet aimed at Trump: "A simple Internet search would show I think you're a tyrant. Bye." Moby also lambasted the president-elect on social media after Trump's team reportedly extended an invitation: "Hahahahaha," he wrote in an Instagram post. "I guess I'd DJ at an inaugural ball if as payment #trump released his tax returns.' Oscar winner Meryl Streep wasn't invited but still made her rejection of Trump clear with a controversial speech at the Golden Globes last Sunday that slammed the president-elect's "instinct to humiliate."
So far, Trump's entertainment lineup includes the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, the Radio City Rockettes, "America's Got Talent" singer Jackie Evancho, the Talladega College Marching Band, country music performers Big & Rich and Cowboy Troy, gospel singers like Traviss Greene, and a few other low-key musical acts. Longtime Republican and transgender activist Caitlyn Jenner is scheduled to attend, along with a few other GOP diehards with name recognition.
Barrack disputed the rumors that A-listers were declining invitations to the inauguration: "The only person who can offer a job for entertainment in this inauguration is me," he said. "I haven't offered one A-lister, and I haven't been turned down by one A-lister. What you hear is rhetoric. Does that elitist portion of celebrity still withhold their applause for this president-elect? Most likely. But . . . we haven't gone to that level of celebrity."
Still, the situation is ironic, given that reality star Trump is from the entertainment world and is comfortable amid fame and riches, though not enthralled with glamour or style. His suits are ill-fitting and at times rumpled; he is a teetotaller uninterested in galas. "Trump isn't a big party guy. He goes out and shows up when he has to," said Washington Life's Chaffee.
Inauguration chairman Barrack said Obama needed the imprimatur of Hollywood and celebrity because he was an unknown when he came into office, while Trump is already famous. "When [Obama] came into office, he had no celebrity. It was appropriate for [him]. Now you have a president who for the past 12 years has lived in celebrity with his own TV show, so he doesn't need that piece for his presidency."
Trump voter Patterson, who comes from a long line of steelworkers, coal miners and staunch Democrats, said the only disappointing thing about the inauguration is that entertainers don't understand what Trump's victory means to his voters and how diminished their standing is among them.
"Hollywood claims they are somehow victims," she said. "The only thing they are victims of is their own arrogance."
Jesse Crammer, 19, can't wait for Friday, and all he wants to see during the inauguration is President Trump's remarks about the moment. "He is all of the celebrity I need," said the high school sophomore from the Keystone State.
"This night is about him; it is about us. It would be really cool if he opened up his remarks and asked people attending one of the balls, in particular the ball that will have our military, police and first responders in attendance, and ask them to talk about their lives.
"[Trump's] message about 'making America great' was aspirational; it was about something bigger than ourselves, and perhaps that is what Hollywood does not get. They cannot imagine something bigger than themselves."
