Britain's high streets have had a torrid time since the recession took hold, although the latest signs have been promising with news that annual retail sales jumped by 1.8% last month.
But despite the obvious reasons to be hopeful, the general consensus continues to be that something needs to be done if small retailers are going to see long-term improvements - especially with former Wickes boss Bill Grimsey warning that more than one in eight shops face closure within three years.
However, while the likes of Grimsey and Mary Portas continue to debate the finer details that could arguably make a difference, there are numerous initiatives with the genuine potential to spark positive change - and they aren't blighted by political squabbling.
Based on a US initiative that has been running since 2010, Small Business Saturday will take place in the UK for the first time on December 7th - one of the busiest shopping days of the year.
The idea behind the project is relatively simple - to encourage consumers to shop at local, independent retailers for the day. It may sound like a token gesture, but the impact it could have is potentially huge.
Last year, the US Small Business Saturday drove sales worth $5.5 billion (£3.5 billion), and also had a tangible, long-term legacy that benefitted small businesses long after the festive period.
Organised by shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna and supported by notable organisations that include Amex, the Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) and Ingenious Britain, the accessibility of the UK day makes it easy for SMEs and the public to get involved. What's more, if consumers embrace the scheme, it could prompt an enduring change in shopping habits throughout the UK. Look out for more on this initiative as December approaches.
Run by the FSB, Keep Trade Local encourages consumers and businesses to do just that, with people urged to buy their goods from independent retailers in their community.
In a similar vein, local authorities, small shops and SMEs are advised to work with each other when it comes to aspects such as procurement. It's a great tactic that could play a vital role in supporting a town's economy, and again requires little more than the willingness of the people to make it succeed.
While the initiative may not be directly aimed at the high street, its message could boost bricks and mortar locations regardless.
The issue of free parking isn't quite the same as the previous two initiatives, but the fact that it's highlighted by almost every plan to improve the high-street is indicative of its importance.
As FSB figures show, seven in ten of its members believe parking could be improved to support high streets. The Portas Review recommended that free, controlled parking schemes should be devised, and Bill Grimsey's proposals suggest that shopping locations should have built-in zones where motorists can leave their car for two hours without having to pay.
With small businesses and experts clearly of the opinion that parking can be reorganised in a way that favours independent retailers, it's essential that positive steps are taken with SMEs in mind, although currently it appears there is no way this can be achieved without wholesale changes.
Yet while the issue of parking continues to bubble away, the important thing is to ensure that consumers are aware of the benefits associated with supporting smaller high street stores.
If real change is going to take place then it has to happen not with parking or funding, but with a shift in people's attitudes so as they purposefully choose independent retailers ahead of established chains.
Once that begins to take effect, the impact on the high street should start to tell - after all, any improvement ultimately depends on where people spend their money.

ESBE - Blow The Wind Southerly (New Cat Music)
Tag: Barry Morgan
DAVY GRAHAM – Midnight Man (Bread & Wine BRINECD-3)
Hindsight is wonderful. Looking back to 1966 when Midnight Man, Davy Graham's second Decca album, was originally released, its eclectic mix of material was fairly representative of the state of the music business in the UK from Jim Reeves and Frank Sinatra at one extreme to The Rolling Stones and The Kinks at the other. Come to think of it, Davy Graham was still somewhere out there.
The album opens with Graham's own 'No Preacher Blues' which was something of a protest song taken at a fast tempo. It's followed by 'The Fakir', composed by Lalo Schifrin while performing with Dizzy Gillespie. Graham makes this jazz track his own, sometimes playing what might have been a sitar part on guitar. He's aided by Tony Reeves on bass and Barry Morgan on percussion for what is probably the record's best track. There's more jazz to come with Herbie Hancock's 'Watermelon Man' and Junior Mance's 'Jubilation' but next up is a cover of 'I'm Looking Through You' which was about as mainstream as you could get. Of course, Graham does pick one of the less well-known tracks from Rubber Soul.
There are more blues with 'Stormy Monday', 'Lost Lover Blues' and 'Jelly Roll Baker'; rock'n'roll in the shape of 'Money Honey' and R&B with Rufus Thomas' 'Walkin' The Dog' but this mix of material hangs together well and it's made to do so by Davy's wonderful guitar playing.
Graham's reputation has grown with the years and the current program of reissues is proof of that. It's such a shame that people didn't get him at the time.

Baja Travel Resource Guide presented by:
The San Diego Trolley (I know, it's not a bus, but it is affordable ground transportation) runs from as far North as Old Town San Diego, or even over at San Diego (Qualcomm) Stadium all the way down to the border for around $2U.S. There is a station to board/disembark/transfer in downtown San Diego as well. The trolley runs as late as midnight on weekends.
Greyhound Bus Lines (800-231-2222) has a route from downtown San Diego into Tijuana. The Greyhound route stops in Tijuana at the Tres Estrellas de Oro terminal at Av. Madero and Av. Mexico. Tres Estrellas de Oro runs buses down the peninsula, and is noted below. This route used to run a bus through every two hours or less on average almost all day long. The fare from San Diego to Tijuana is $5U.S. one-way, $8 round-trip. No checked baggage is allowed. Greyhound also has a bus terminal in Calexico, CA, but does not offer service across the border into Mexicali.
Mexicoach runs buses across the border from San Ysidro to the Tijuana tourist terminal on Av. Revoluci�n from about 9am to 9pm every day. You can easily catch this bus after disembarking from the trolley mentioned above. Fare's about US$1. The route also runs in reverse as well.
Once you're there:
A couple of bus lines from Tijuana to La Paz (about a 25 hour trip, with frequent stops along the way). There are a few different companies that run from La Paz into the Cape Region. First-class fare from Tijuana to La Paz is under $50, and about $10 from La Paz to Cabo San Lucas or San Jose del Cabo. Reservations are not accepted, and you just need to show up to the terminal to buy your ticket for the next bus.
You'll be able to find buses running from Tijuana to Mexicali (and destinations further inland), Mexicali to San Felipe, and Ensenada to San Felipe as well. Some of the buses plying the highway to La Paz also make a run over to Bah�a de Los Angeles (I believe once a day, or every other day), as well as a bus from La Pur�sima to Ciudad Constituci�n every day (and vice-versa).
The terminal for these inter-city buses for M�xico are located around the La Mesa community of Tijuana, about 3 miles east of Av. Revoluci�n attractions.

Dir: Yoji Yamada. Japan. 2002. 129mins.
The winner of a slew of film awards at home and a competition selection at Berlin next month, The Twilight Samurai (Tasogare Seibei) may finally propel director Yoji Yamada into the international spotlight, after a long and highly successful career. Ironically, the film is in a genre, period drama, that Yamada never attempted before, preferring instead to concentrate on warm-hearted melodramas and comedies, including his 48-episode Tora-san series.
An heir to the humanist tradition of Yasujiro Ozu, Mikio Naruse and other luminaries of the Shochiku studio, as well as the principal financial support of said studio for decades, Yamada has long been celebrated as a master by Japanese critics, but recognition from abroad has been slower to come. The Twilight Samurai will probably not make him the hip Japanese director of the moment - it is pitched conservatively at Yamada's over-forty core audience - but a quietly passionate and impressively athletic performance by star Hiroyuki Sanada, as well as a gripping third-act showdown, recalls the genre's glory days and should translate into overseas sales interest.
Set in the last days of the Edo era (1600-1867), the film presents a Japan much like the one of today, complete with recessionary lifestyles, corporate restructuring - and men who can't say what they feel. The hero, Seibei (Sanada), is a samurai scraping along on a small stipend and working as a clerk in the clan office. At dusk, when his colleagues head to the local pub for a drink, he goes straight home - earning him the derisive nickname Tasogare (Twilight) Seibei.
His reasons for his early departure are his two young daughters and senile mother - all that is left of his family after the death of his wife. He does most of the work around the place, from tending the garden to making cricket cages for extra money. But for all his ceaseless labours, he remains desperately poor.
Then Tomoe (Rie Miyazaki), the sister of Seibei's best friend, visits Seibei's house after a long absence and brightens the gloom with her warm presence and cheery smile. Everyone falls in love with her, including the lonely Seibei, though he would rather die that admit it.
Sanada, meanwhile, brings a weary conviction to the role of Seibei, while wielding a mean sword, particularly in his climatic confrontation. He and celebrated Butoh dancer Min Tanaka perform their dance of death with power and grace, while connecting as comrades in injustice and misery. This scene could stand alone as a one-act play - and is one of the best things Yamada has ever done. Twilight could well be his new dawn.

Sculptures made of earth, fire, water, air (Part III)
/Exhibition/
Sculptures made of earth, fire, water, air is a series of 9 solo exhibitions by artist Nuno Vicente presented at the João Cocteau Gallery in Berlin. Conceived as a collaborative project, the Portuguese artist has invited 9 international curators to build a dialog around 9 pieces chosen from his new body of work. The series will culminate in the release of a publication about the artworks as well as the respective outcomes from the curators. Following the previous monographic exhibitions Transformation of a dead body into a Foundation for Life (curated by Lauren K. Reid) and Memorial to ephemerality (curated by Carolina Jiménez), the third edition of this ongoing project will be featuring "Burial of a taxidermied animal" and "Dead bird turned into stone", two artworks specifically created for this occasion. Along his career as an artist, Nuno Vicente has built a creative imagination made of moss, wood, clay, earth, stones, tears, dead flowers, turtles and birds. The semantics of the elementariness. The response of Spanish curator Paz Ponce for this exhibition is designed as an attempt to unveil the poetic gesture behind Nuno Vicente's artistic practice, drawing at the same time, an indirect reflection on the nature of installation art in itself. Plunging into the vast geography of remembrance, this exhibition tries to recover an original emotion that the artist experienced, giving some key notes to understand his empathic relation with all sentient beings, his desire to fuse things with nature, his strong sense of self-awareness of the universe and his deep commitment with the
registration of life through his art.
A nostalgic journey into the alchemy of Being.
Curated by Paz Ponce
João Cocteau. Kienitzer Strasse 98 12049 Berlin

Centre, journalist community condemn murder of journalists (Roundup)
New Delhi, May 14 (IANS) Condemnation poured in from all quarters over the dastardly murder of two journalists in Bihar and Jharkhand, with the entire journalist community, political leaders as well as the government strongly condemning the murders.
While the Press Club of India, the Indian Women's Press Corps and media organisations from different parts of the country termed the murders a "direct attack on the freedom of the press", BJP leaders used the Bihar murder to target Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over the state's law and order situation.
Information and Broadcasting Minister Arun Jaitley tweeted his condemnation and sought an independent investigation to punish the guilty.
"I strongly condemn murder of journalists Rajdeo Ranjan in Siwan and Akhilesh Pratap Singh in Chatra district. Independent investigation may be instituted and guilty be punished," Jaitley posted on Twitter.
Rajdeo Ranjan, the Siwan bureau chief of Hindi newspaper Hindustan, which is part of the HT Media, was shot dead at a busy market near Station Road in the district on Friday night.
Four suspects have been detained in connection with his killing.
In the other incident, Indradeo Yadav, also known as Akhilesh Pratap, was gunned down in Jharkhand's Chatra district on Thursday night. He worked as a correspondent for a local TV channel.
BJP leaders attacked Nitish Kumar over the law and order situation in the state following the murder of the Siwan scribe and the killing of a teenager in Gaya and said that "maha jungle raj" has returned with the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) coming to power in the state.
"Before the Bihar election we were saying jungle raj will return to Bihar if the Mahagathbandhan comes to power, but we were wrong. Ab to maha jungle raj aa gaya hai (Now, there is maha jungle raj)," BJP spokesman Shahnawaz Hussain said.
Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Rajyavardhan Rathore also condoled the deaths.
Press Club of India president Rahul Jalali in a statement said that both the murders "were targeted killings and form a part of attempts on part the mafia to muzzle the independent voice of the media".
"It is with increasing dismay we also note the increase in attempts to target the press throughout the country, by denigrating them and if nothing else works by eliminating them as has happened in these two cases," he said.
Nadeem Ahmad Kazmi, secretary general of the Press Club of India, demanded that the government, both at the centre and states, should come down heavily on the culprits and "also create an atmosphere conducive to the free and fair functioning of the media in the country".
The Indian Women's Press Corps urged the government to take immediate steps to find the culprits behind the crime and bring them to justice.
It said the "deliberate targeting" of the two journalists "is clearly an attempt to prevent the functioning of a free and independent media in the country".
It also said "the IWPC also views with deep concern the efforts to smear the reputation of media professionals in many parts of the country".
The Guwahati-based Journalists' Forum Assam (JFA) expressed shock over the murders of the two journalists.
Tripura Working Journalists Association (TWJA) and Tripura Journalists Union (TJU) also urged the authorities in Bihar and Jharkhand to take stringent action against the killers.
BJP general secretary Bhupendra Yadav took to social media to attack Nitish.
"Forget common man, even police and press do not feel safe in Bihar. This says it all about lawlessness under Nitish government," he tweeted.
Union Minister Giriraj Singh tweeted, "Even tears of Gaya have not dried, the murder of a journalist in Siwan has made Bihar's blood curdle."

Sometimes I manage to amaze myself. The past week was such an occasion. I wrote Chapter 15, which was a really long one with important information and plot development: Grayson manages to implant his code into the Schroedinger quantum computer. In the process we get a tour of the facility and a glimpse of Schroedinger itself, the fastest and most powerful computer ever built by human hands.
It was a difficult chapter for me to write. I got the bulk of it down pretty fast but it had a weak beginning and a weak ending. So I tried a new beginning, which was even worse than the original one. Finally, third time was the charm and I was happy. The ending went better. It took me only a single re-write to make it work.
In Chapter 16 we meet up with Professor Sussman who is the master mind who played a pivotal role in the conception of Schroedinger. We learn of his moral dilemma and his decision, which has far reaching consequences. I had a stroke of genius to make the central location for this chapter a confessional inside a Roman catholic chapel. Worked amazingly well. A strong location, lots of emotions.
In terms of writing experience, this one was done in one sitting, in about 2 hours of solid writing. Hardly had to go back and change anything. And my alpha tester was immediately happy with it. Sometimes it just works.
But really, what I should be doing in terms of adding to the blog, is to add a page about Heisenberg's uncertainty relationship. I've been meaning to do this for several weeks now. Every time I am about to start on it, I began to add to the book. And, of course, that takes precedence. Because, after all, you know, that's what it's all about, really: writing the book and take you along on the journey from beginning to finish.
Don't worry, though, I will add the background information pretty soon.
Previous Post Life intervened, but didn't stop me from finishing Chapter 14.
Next Post Chapter 17 the calm before the storm.

Three new Stars join the galaxy of Zenith watches for women
Zenith celebrates its 150th anniversary with the launch of three new Star watches in smaller, more feminine cushion-shaped cases, powered by an ultra-thin movement.
21 June 2015 by REBECCA DOULTON
Zenith, the Swiss brand celebrating its 150th anniversary, shot to fame with its 1969 El Primero calibre watch - a high-frequency chronograph capable of measuring elapsed times to the nearest 1/10th of a second. When Zenith first launched its collection of Star watches for women, the legendary El Primero movement was chosen for the 37mm cases. With the new trend for smaller, more feminine watch sizes, three new Zenith Star watches have been launched in 33mm cushion-shaped cases, powered by an ultra-thin movement.
Read more about the collection of Zenith Star watches here
The first new Zenith Star watch has a very original dial, which emulates the Japanese paper-folding technique of origami. Almost like an Escher print, the geometric shapes on the white lacquered surface lead the eye towards the small seconds counter at 9 o'clock with its star-shaped figure and blued-steel hand. Four diamonds are used as hour markers and the crown is set with a cabochon.
The vibrant red, pink and orange tones of the flower petals that decorate the second model have been transferred to the white mother-of-pearl background and silhouetted with a metal border for greater relief. Tucked into the corners of the cushion-shaped case, graduated white diamonds add light to the composition and contrast to the red cabochon crown. The dial of the third white gold jewellery model drew on the skills of an engraver, an enamellist and a gem-setter to achieve the delicate, off-centred floral composition, which seems to sway with life.

All three ladies' watches are presented on matching alligator straps with a gem-set buckle. Inside the case, the Elite 681 ultra-thin automatic manufacture calibre keeps the hours, minutes and small seconds ticking for 50 hours. A sapphire crystal caseback reveals the oscillating weight decorated with a Côtes de Genève motif, and three new feminine stars twinkle in the firmament of the brand with the star logo.
The new Zenith Star 33mm gold watch was created drawing on the skills of an engraver, an enamellist and a gem-setter to achieve the delicate, off-centred floral composition on the dial.
The white lacquered dial of the new 33mm Zenith Star watch in stainless steel emulates the Japanese paper-folding technique of origami.
One of three new Zenith Star watches for women launched to mark the Swiss brand's 150th anniversary, the vibrant red, pink and orange tones of the flower petals that decorate this model in stainless steel contrast with the white mother-of-pearl background.

When did you start writing? I'd dabbled with writing in high school, and took every English elective a computer engineering major could take in college, but I never took writing seriously until about 2010. About that time, I read Storyteller by Kate Wilhelm about the early years of the Clarion writers workshop. That caught my interest, so I did some research on Clarion, and in the process found the Odyssey Writing Workshop, which seemed more to my style. At that point, I had written a grand total of one speculative story--a retelling of Hansel and Gretel--so I sent it off on a lark never expecting to be accepted to such a prestigious workshop. But miracles happened, I was accepted, and attended in the summer of 2012. It was there that I learned how much I didn't know, and what being serious about writing even meant, and I've been working at it ever since.
When and what and where did you first get published? Assuming that stories pinned to the refrigerator by my Mom don't count, I was first published (and my second, and fourth, and fifth stories as well) at Daily Science Fiction. The first of those stories, "Have You Seen My Girl?" arrived in my head pretty much fully formed, and I wrote it in less than an hour. After that, I thought they would all be like that, but it turns out that's a pretty rare happening. You can find all four of those stories on their site (dailysciencefiction.com).
What themes do you like to write about? Theme is rarely what gets a story started for me, but a common element that emerges in many of my stories is the loss of innocence. Also many of my stories (which probably explains why I seem to do better with flash) involve intimate looks at just one or two characters.
What books and/or stories have most resonated with you as an author? Why? How do these stories and their characters find expression in your work? I fell in love with fantasy and science fiction reading Zelazny, Moorcock, Donaldson, LeGuin, Eddings, King--but those were the stories that I grew up on, that became part of me, but not necessarily who I try to emulate as an adult writer. I guess these days, because I focus primarily on short stories, my writing tends to be most influenced by short story writers such as Kij Johnson, and my all-time favorite, Flannery O'Connor. Lately I've become interested in experimenting with portal stories--moving between our world and a fantasy world--a type of story that I've always loved.

Q: What is the internal functioning of the following code? I am trying to understand how the following lines of code work in c++.
int main(){

    int i;
    i = 1 + (2,3,5,3,6);
    cout<<i<<endl;
    return 0;
}

Output: 7
Basically, the answer is the sum of 1 and the last integer in between the parentheses.

A: (2,3,5,3,6) turns out to be 6.
Hence 1 + 6 = 7
You can verify with a print statement
printf("\n%d\n", (2,3,5,3,6));
It will print 6 only.

The use and acceptance of the computing tools by end users is a necessary condition for their success. Davis' Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) offers a certain releavance in the study of the factors affecting e-mail use. In the present research, extensions of Davis' model are proposed, integrating phenomena of social norms and network externalities. Data are collected from 195 administrative people working in several French universities. The initial model formulated by Davis is supported. However, the results also show that the social influence is a major determinant of the acceptance of electronic mail. Finally, in agreement with the recent developments of the Innovation Diffusion Theory, the perceived level of diffusion has an indirect positive impact on acceptance.

Neek Buck Remakes Jay-Z's "Streets Is Watching" (Short Film)
By Singersroom|2018-08-24T13:00:08-04:00August 24th, 2018|Categories: Rap Videos, Rappersroom|Tags: Neek Buck|0 Comments
Harlem rapper Neek Buck just dropped his remake for "Streets Is Watching." The project is to commemorate 20 years after the release of Jay-Z's musical film. The short film features four songs inspired from Jay's original version.
Back in 1998, Jay-Z compiled some of his unreleased music videos into a musical film that utilized songs from albums Reasonable Doubt and In My Lifetime, Vol. 1. Two of the videos were shot before he was ever signed to a label. The entire film took place in Jay's old neighborhood in Brooklyn.
Directed by Poke and Tone, Neek's version includes scenes of robbing, extorting, kidnapping, and torture. Everything that one could hope for an urban thriller. The quality of this remake is pristine, merging cinematic imagery with good music. Beside using modern day technology and film elements, Neek's version differs in the sense that it tells a complete story more fluidly than Jay's.
Watch Neek's version of "Streets is Watching" below:

Embarking on Graduate life: take your time
My academic journey at Sussex is reaching its end, yet with only two months to hand in dissertations and complete my undergraduate degree I am surprisingly calm.
Despite this truth, I am utterly aware that two weeks before my deadlines I'll be in hysterics. I know it will happen. I will be filled with dizzying self-doubt and skittishly biting off my nails that are currently finely shaped and painted as I scramble to finish my final pieces of work.
I also know that when I do finally type the last words on my screen, sprint to Shawcross to print them out, fill out my last pink cover sheets and hand them in, reality will slowly begin to seep in. When, and if I finally get dressed up in my gown, receive that diploma and say my final farewells to University I will be overwhelmed with relief and ecstatic joy, but also with an uncontainable melancholy. That will be it. All the stress, the panic, the doubt, the rush and the accomplishment of the last two months will have ended in an instant, just like my last three years here at Sussex
It will be an almost unbearable and anti climatic moment when I internally ask myself: what now? I will undoubtedly miss the life I've created in Brighton. It feels like both yesterday and an eternity ago when I first started here. It was September of 2012 and I was nineteen years old. I had just arrived alone to Brighton after leaving everyone I knew back in Spain. I had corn rows in my hair, clothes too summery for England, only one friend in the city and I was initially studying Sociology. But I also had a longing for a change and I was ready for an adventure.
Since about the age of ten I knew I wanted to go to university. My parents didn't attend further education until later in life, but they had always placed education alongside happiness as number one priorities in their children's lives. Thanks to them, I took my studies greatly serious as a kid.
Consequently my dream became that of any ten year old (of course not); I wanted to attend Oxford, complete my PhD and become a Professor of English Literature. Evidently, now at the age of almost twenty two, my childhood hopes and the ones I hold now could not be further from each other. A decade later, I did not attend Oxford nor did I have any intention to. Instead I chose the beautifully open minded University of Sussex. A decade later, I did not study English Literature. But I did finally choose to study Media and Cultural studies. Ten years on, I have no intention of becoming a Professor; in fact I have no intention of becoming anything, just yet.
Leaving university and flipping the page to the next chapter is daunting, especially when that next page is blank. Like some, or most (I am not too sure on the percentages here), I do not have a full time job lined up after graduation nor am I embarking on to post graduate education. I am moving back home.
There, I plan on working part-time, saving money, volunteering and exploring in depth some more of my many interests. However six months ago I was formulating any possible plan that would detain me from doing this. Going back home to live with my parents was, in my eyes a step back. A very, very hefty step back. But at the present time I am content with this new plan. A bit uneasy and unsure, but overall content.
The truth is I don't see myself applying for a 'real' job just yet and making a commitment I may not be ready for. Neither do I want to apply for a Masters just yet. Again it is a substantial commitment, both financial and personal and I am just not sure what I want to specialize in. Yes, I sometimes may feel like the 'lost' one, destined to go back home and transform into a frivolous failure, but then I remind myself that maybe it's okay that I don't know what I want to do, just yet. Not picking the common path doesn't necessarily make it the wrong one.
I can't expect to have the same experiences as everyone else nor compare mine to the rest, because I am not the rest. Back in A levels my entire class was starting University immediately after summer, except me. It wasn't because I wasn't ready, or because I was lazy, I really just wanted time to think, reflect and time to experience a little bit of the world outside of education. Plus I think I secretly I enjoyed being the odd one out. My gap year was not your stereotypical spiritual journey through South East Asia. Instead mine was an emotional year of semi self-discovery (it's never ending). I began my gap year by moving out from my parents' house and into my best friend's paid-for apartment in the next city over. I didn't have to pay rent and I was living with my best friend in a new place. I took my time looking for a job, maybe too much time.
When I eventually ran out of money, still having no job, I moved back home and began working as a part-time ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher at my parents' academy.
A couple of months later my grandfather passed away. I immersed myself for a while in the night life, hanging around older people with no direction at the time and feeling a bit confused about, well, just about everything. Eventually, I quickly realized spending time with my family was what I needed and wanted; after all I was leaving them in a short time. Before coming to Sussex, my feelings about life and the future improved. I was ready for a new start. Three years later I am in the same place again. I have grown a little more as a person; I'm a little wiser, I am little more disciplined, a little more mindful of the world around me and although a little weary I am hopeful and eager for the future.
When I look back at my time at Sussex it seems like it can all be resumed in what feels like a second of my life. And the more I think about it, I know that in much sense that is exactly what this experience will be; an extraordinary, but nonetheless brief moment in my hopefully long lasting journey. Time is a precious and strange thing. Sometimes days drag on like weeks and months flash by like days. But if it's one thing we have as young and still naïve individuals is: time. Not having a concrete plan just yet is not symbolic of being lost. I have to time to figure things out and time is exactly what I am going to take. There is a befitting line that goes like this: Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind, but the race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself. Take your time. If I could offer any advice to any fellow graduates moving back home it would be this; it's not the end of the world, it's just the beginning.

There are many marketing platforms that target consumers when they're going about their daily lives, from the radio commercials they hear in traffic to the press ads they see when reading their morning papers and the targeted communication that they receive via social media and email.
All these channels have their own unique benefits, but when it comes to engaging shoppers at the point of purchase, when they're in 'the buying zone' and looking for items to place in their baskets, on-pack communication is a highly effective way to create product awareness, run a promotion or even make recipe suggestions to boost sales.
When dairy producers Hochland Romania wanted to increase the shelf appeal of their cheese products, the group chose to run a cross-promotional campaign on the packaging of six product variants.
In order to generate a device that was high-quality and included enough space for all their campaign elements, Hochland chose to partner with Fix-a-Form® licensee Inovalabel to create an eye-catching six-page Fix-a-Form® Booklet Label that would grab attention in the retail environment.
This innovative on-pack multi-page device encouraged shoppers to purchase Hochland Romania's cheese products in order to enter a prize giveaway promotion, as well as redeem a special collectible magnetic insert that was carried neatly and securely within the re-sealable Fix-a-Form® Booklet Label.
To participate in this promotion Hochland's customers were asked to share the unique code printed on the Fix-a-Form® Booklet Label; and to offer additional value and reward customers for their loyalty, Hochland also included special recipes for each Cheddar variety in the Booklet Label. These recipes also served to cross-sell products by making aware of all the variants and encourage them to try a new one next time.
Grab attention in-store and keep customers engaged with your own on-pack promotion and collectables campaign now!


Full disclosure time again, folks: This next pick in the 2017 PopCult Gift Guide is the first book by one of my best online buddies, Thomas Wheeler. Being roughly the same age and having many of the same interests (action figures, comic books, wrestling) it's no shock that his book is right in my wheelhouse. Adventures in Pop Culture is the pefect gift for the pop culture maven on your holiday shopping list.
Adventures in Pop Culture is a series of essays related to my own personal experiences in the world of pop culture across my lifetime. Whether it pertains to a wide variety of action figures, comic books, science-fiction, related television shows, occasional conventions, super-heroes, or even the WWE, there's something about it in this book. Captain Action, Major Matt Mason, Big Jim, G.I. Joe, Gundam, Star Trek — they're in here. Mego — it's in here. A 7-1/2-foot Aircraft Carrier — it's in here… figuratively speaking. Traveling on the same plane as nearly a dozen WWE superstars, seated one row behind the Undertaker — it's in here. Getting some advice in an airport from WWE legend Nikolai Volkoff — it's in here.
This is a fascinating collection of essays about cool stuff that's all over the map, pop culturally-speaking. Thomas's stories, many of which I've read in emails over the years, range from hilarious to heart-warming, and at a stocking-stuffer price, you can't go wrong with Adventures in Pop Culture. You can order the book from Amazon using this link.
