MakeMyTrip Bets on the Pandemic Speeding Up India's Shift to Online Travel

Skift Take
Executives are fine-tuning their strategy by pushing more into business travel management, tours-and-activities sales, and international bus booking.
MakeMyTrip Group is betting that the coronavirus pandemic will put an existing Indian national trend of buying more travel online on a faster timeline.
"Given the drive toward contactless travel engagement forced by this pandemic, we believe online booking adoption should accelerate even faster," said Deep Kalra, group executive chairman of the online travel company based in Gurugram, India.
During an earnings call on Friday, Kalra called out a report by Goldman Sachs from late July that predicted the pandemic would hasten India's shift from offline, traditional agencies to online ones.
After the pandemic, Goldman Sachs expects India's online travel market to grow at a pace of 14 percent through 2025. Online booking of hotels will grow 20 percent a year on average through 2025, given low internet penetration now, wrote analyst Heath Terry.
A faster pace of online bookings is critical to MakeMyTrip Group's game plan. Growing all its travel product offerings is not cheap. The company has found operating profits elusive for years. Spending on marketing, consumer incentives, and research and development has devoured revenue.
Yet the cost of serving each extra customer is marginal. So the faster MakeMyTrip can grow its online customer base, the sooner it can become profitable.

MakeMyTrip executives looked to the future on Friday, using the word recovery 14 times in their prepared remarks.
"As a company, we'll prudently invest for the long-term and to make sure our brand, technology, and service platform are ready to scale for the inevitable rebound in demand," Kalra said.
Executives gave examples of their tech investment, such as improved customer service chatbots and "simplified but comprehensive, step-by-step instructions on how to navigate state-by-state restrictions on travel."
MakeMyTrip is playing a long game.
The pandemic devastated its financial numbers for its most recent quarter
Nationwide lockdown orders in India in March brought travel to nearly zero in April and most of May. The country still has many state-by-state restrictions on travel and hotels.
MakeMyTrip Group reported adjusted revenue of $6.4 million in the quarter ended June 30. During the same period a year earlier, it had earned $141.7 million. The group suffered an operating loss of $34.6 million in the quarter, reflecting an improvement of $8 million year-over-year.
While the earnings call was light on details on its strategic plans, MakeMyTrip's annual report, which the group filed this month for the year ending March 31, offered more color. The report revealed details about its expansion in the corporate travel sector, its push into building a global bus ticketing operation, its bet on tours-and-activities sales, and its cash burn.
A Bet on Corporate Travel
MakeMyTrip built itself on leisure travel, but since 2018 it has taken business travel more seriously. It introduced a corporate booking tool. Then in April 2019 it acquired Quest2Travel, a corporate travel management company. As of March 31, more than 5,000 corporations booked air or hotel bookings through its brands, implying a significant pace of growth in this segment year-over-year.
Expanding Non-Air Supply
Skift compared last year's annual report with this one to track differences.
As of March 31, 2020, the conglomerate said it offered 77,000 domestic accommodations in India. That was up 25 percent from the number it reported a year earlier.
The group also said it offered 700,000 hotels and properties outside of India. That was up 40 percent from a year earlier — likely driven by new supply from its strategic partnership with Trip.com Group.
During the earnings call, executives said that its corporate business was only at 10 percent of year-ago levels. The pandemic may dent the size of the small business and corporate travel markets if companies are slow to meet in person for years. Yet MakeMyTrip believes it can still profit from an accelerated shift to online services by those sectors.
MakeMyTrip said Friday that it recently began offering charter flights for corporate clients.
Expanding Its Experiences Sales
This year's annual report put more weight on "experiences" as a product category. The tours-and-activities segment had been heating up worldwide before the pandemic struck. MakeMyTrip Group hopes to upsell its customers on these services.
MakeMyTrip now offers more than 33,000 activities and experiences in India and abroad, ten times as many as it did a year ago.
Hinting at International Growth in Buses
Ever since it acquired bus booking brand RedBus in 2017, MakeMyTrip Group has been betting more on inter-city bus reservations for growth.
It now has supply deals with 3,500 bus operators. That supply volume was up 40 percent year-over-year — likely driven by MakeMyTrip Group's acquisition in July 2018 of Bitla, which provides technology support for bus operators. The deals include several major bus operators in India, Peru, Colombia, and select countries in Southeast Asia.
More supply has helped gather more users. The RedBus mobile app attracted 14 million active users per month in the fiscal year 2020, doubling the amount it drew in 2018. The Redbus site recently received more than 6 million searches a day on average.
Sales are up, too. The group's bus ticketing revenue grew 8.5 percent in the year ending in March to $65 million.
MakeMyTrip Group modified its boilerplate language this year for describing RedBus. It added language to say it is expanding the brand and targeting international markets in a region-by-region approach.
In a hint of its overseas ambitions, the company said it had added a chatbot for self-service queries on its app in the international languages of Bahasa, Malay, and Spanish as well as Hindi and Tamil.
RedBus also sells bus tickets through agent platform, SeatSeller, which comprises more than 13,500 agents across India, South-East Asia, and Latin America, the company said. It also offers more than 200 data feeds, known as APIs, or application programming interfaces, that online resellers can tap.
Investors may wonder if MakeMyTrip would consider an acquisition of an overseas bus booking service, such as Reservamos in Mexico, Wanderu in the U.S., and CheckMyBus in Europe.
Loyalty Program Growth
As of March 31, the group had 1.1 million people enrolled in its free MMT Black loyalty program, up 10 percent year-over-year. It had more than 200,000 members of its paid-loyalty program Double Black, more than twice its number a year earlier.
India's Package Market Has Changed
MakeMyTrip changed how it described the competitive landscape in the sales of combinations of travel products this year. Last year, it said, "we primarily compete with traditional travel players such as Cox & Kings, Thomas Cook and others in packages offering."
This year the group's annual report said, "we primarily compete with traditional travel players such as Thomas Cook, Travel Triangle, and others in packages offerings."
Debt-ridden Cox & Kings has stumbled in the past year, with parts sold off to Ebix and to Abercrombie & Kent.
Meanwhile, late last year TravelTriangle, which brings travelers and agents together for online sales of vacation packages, raised $13 million in a Series D round of funding.
Legal Worries
The company frets about legal actions, the latest annual report revealed. MakeMyTrip Group set aside $30.8 million in the fiscal year 2020 as a provision for litigation, equating to about 6 percent of its $511.5 million in revenue.
India's competition watchdog CCI has launched investigations in the past year into alleged abuse of market power by MakeMyTrip and Oyo Hotels and alleged abuse of market power by MakeMyTrip since its merger with smaller rival Goibibo). Authorities haven't set a deadline for the investigations.
MakeMyTrip Group is also in a legal fight over the refunding of tickets that got canceled after Jet Airways went bust last year.
Distribution Play by Trip.com Group?
MakeMyTrip said it is receiving airline data from Amadeus, Travelport, and Trip.com Group's Travelfusion but not from Sabre or China's TravelSky. That's a snub of China's TravelSky, which offers ticket distribution services for flights in and out of China in competition with Travelfusion.
Investors might wonder if Trip.com Group is hoping its strategic investment in MakeMyTrip Group last year will lead to more business for its Travelfusion unit.
The group said it makes its bookings with airlines through Amadeus's central reservation system and Travelport's Galileo global distribution system or direct connections to the airlines' booking systems. Sabre hasn't had a full distribution contract with MakeMyTrip in recent memory.
Cashback Sinkhole
MakeMyTrip Group needs rivals to cut back on offering incentives to consumers so it can do the same. The company spent $366.2 million on customer inducements such as cashback incentive, upfront cash incentives, and loyalty program benefits in the fiscal year. That swallowed 71 percent of its $511.5 million in revenue for the year. The expenditure showed almost no decline from the $360.8 million in inducements and loyalty program efforts it had spent in the fiscal year 2019.
MakeMyTrip Group offered no clues on when this cash-back war will end. It said rising competition in the Indian travel market prompted it to hike its spending on marketing and sales expenses to promote transactions on its mobile platforms in India and to promote its higher-margin, non-air ticketing business.
Source: WordClouds.
During an earnings call, executives emphasized their success at lowering digital marketing costs as competitors became more focused on promoting their brands than price wars. The company spent $166 million on online video and display advertising on websites, television and print, search engine marketing, referrals from metasearch sites, and other publicity work. The pandemic led to lower sales and marketing spending, which was down year-over-year by 11 percent. But the sales and marketing spending still swallowed 32 percent of its revenue for the period.
The consumer incentives are not improving in its air ticketing business, in particular. For the fiscal year, it spent $75.7 million on inducements on air ticketing or about 43 percent of its air ticketing revenue. That's slightly worse than how inducements consumed 41 percent of its air ticketing revenue in the prior fiscal year.
Air passenger traffic in India's domestic sector will shrink about 40 to 45 percent this year, said a July 2020 report by CRISIL Research. Indian carriers will likely log operating losses despite lower prices for jet fuel. As of today, the Indian government limits airlines to flying at only 45 percent full domestically.
Domestic airlines may feel pressure to cut the base commissions paid to travel agencies like MakeMyTrip. Any consolidation in the airline industry would increase that pressure on commissions.
Given those dynamics, MakeMyTrip Group executives are hoping for the pace of online adoption in India to speed up, which would make their business profitable faster.

What's in a Name hacked paypal accounts dump, altenen dumps
While there are many interpretations of the word "hacker," we choose to pay homage to the original MIT hackers by using the term in our company name. We favor their early definition of a hacker: "one who enjoys the intellectual challenge of creatively overcoming limitations."
To help you better understand what the HackerOne name means to us and the vulnerability coordination and disclosure process that we host using our platform, let's first acknowledge that vulnerability disclosure has come a long way.
Overall, I'm excited that the world has evolved enough to embrace a better approach in working with hackers. But this was not the case just a short time ago. Remember the gag orders at Blackhat ? Or how about when the Boston Subway authority sued MIT students ? Sony vs. Geohot ? Vulnerability disclosure has been historically treacherous. As Alex Stamos, (CISO of Yahoo!) reflects: " You'd get your door kicked in ."
This kind of hostile reaction from organizations is outdated and discourages hackers from reporting security issues that would help protect consumers and businesses alike. This shouldn't be the case when ISO standards exist and provide guidelines to manage this process. An ever-increasing number of companies have come forward with further support of research, some rewarding tens of thousands per discovery which supports full-time bug hunters. These recent developments make the public uneasy when organizations do not openly welcome research.
I started working at Facebook after disclosing security issues to them in 2006. The early Facebook team had great relationships with their hackers and allowed them to positively influence security. Elsewhere, at the same time, Samy Kamkar was being treated much differently by MySpace and the Patriot Act. Samy didn't know me at the time, but this contradiction influenced me greatly.
I worked to get vulnerability disclosure formalized shortly after joining Facebook in 2007. Later, I upgraded it with Alex Rice until we had an outstanding bounty program that treated researchers well and greatly influenced Facebook Security. It was our most important contribution to Facebook, but it was only successful because of its hackers.
Understanding the hacker's experience is crucial to vulnerability disclosure. Hackers value the rush of adrenalin involved with a discovery. The truth is that the discovery of a new vulnerability bombards its finder with competing emotions, ethical dilemmas, and critical choices. The hacker has an empowering feeling to know they have valuable information.
The moment a hacker first finds a vulnerability is pivotal in terms of the choice they have on what to do with their discovery. Some hackers choose to use their powers for good, some just want to watch the world burn. Too often uncertainty surrounding the outcome leads to the tragic decision of doing nothing at all.
For all this hacker knows, they were the first one to find this vulnerability.
"Hacker One."
If you can steer the first hacker on every vulnerability toward doing the right thing, then we believe you have helped improve the Internet. This is why we're focused on a mission to empower the world in building a safer Internet. We want hackers to be protected, acknowledged, rewarded, and encouraged to do the right thing, all while making it easier for organizations to respond to vulnerability reports.
Let's not ignore that hackers still face problems when trying to report vulnerabilities, and respect the hackers who stuck their necks out before now. We are making progress, but this journey is far from over. Let's celebrate and support hackers by helping that first hacker, Hacker One.

When people find out I test robot vacuums for a living, inevitably one question comes up: Are they really worth it? Ten years ago, I would've said absolutely not. Five years ago, when I started testing them in our labs, they were good enough to help in niche cases—with major caveats. Now? They're definitely good enough that they can help most people cut down on how often they need to deep clean their home.
The i7+'s charging base can suction up the dirt inside the robot vacuum and deposit into a sealed bag.
The whole point of a robot is that it does a task so you don't have to. Older robot vacuums were needy little buggers. They would either fill up too fast, get caught on things, or just get lost.
Today, you can get a robot vacuum like the iRobot Roomba i7+. This stellar performer is our favorite to date for one big reason: you only have to deal with it once a month. See, the charging base has its own vacuum that suctions dirt out of the robot's on-board bin and stores it in a self-sealing bag that only needs to be emptied about once a month.
Ecovacs has a robot that can see and avoid power cords and slippers.
Early robot vacuums often got caught on furniture legs, under shelves, and especially on power cords. This meant you were often cleaning up just so your cleaning robot could come in and "finish" the job. You had to rearrange your floor plan to suit your robot vacuum. Who's in charge here?!
Finally, that may finally be changing. Ecovacs, the makers of some of my favorite robot vacuums has introduced a robot with AIVI, Artifical Intelligence and Visual Interpretation. Basically, it's a camera mounted on the front allows the unit to see and understand objects in front of it. For example, it can avoid suctioning up your favorite pair of slippers or avoid a tangle of wire.
Another issue I've encountered in the past consisted of robot vacuums entering rooms and being unable to get out again. Either they caught the door or the threshold was uneven and trapped them.
California-based Neato came up with a brilliant solution: The latest models of the D series have the ability to create virtual maps of your home, on which you can draw "No-Go" lines. These lines tell where the vacuum can and cannot roam, removing the need to buy specific hardware to keep your robot vacuum safe and free.
Robots like the Eufy 30 and 30C (pictured here) provide great value.
For the past few years, robot vacuums were a luxury good. Any unit worth buying simply cost way too much for the average household to consider. These days, with a glut of manufacturers on the market all competing for your attention, there are some great values to be had.
Eufy makes some of my favorite vacuums, affordable or otherwise. The Eufy Robovac 30 comes with the bare minimum, but it gets the job done without costing an arm and a leg.
We're simply reaching a point where robot vacuums are more useful and cost less than ever before. Technology is supposed to make our lives easier, freeing us to enjoy life. Even though the first few steps were rough, I honestly believe today's robot vacuums can do that. Robot vacuums may not eliminate the need to clean entirely, but for most people, there's a robot vacuum that can work for you.
At our labs, we've tested robot vacuums of every shape and size. We've come to the conclusion that robot vacuums are worth it. TWhat really matters is picking the right one to suit your needs. We've tested robot vacuums that specialize in picking up pet hair or have really innovative smart features. Robot vacuums have come so far since the early days that we're confident in a few years they'll be as common as owning a dishwasher.


If you ask me what is my one single, favorite holiday of the year, it's Thanksgiving. Even though we were a small family, we had tons of people come over. The smell in the kitchen when you woke up that morning, the food, the fellowship, the friendship—as a child, it kicked off the Christmas season. You got to watch Macy's Thanksgiving parade and Santa Claus getting there. Since my childhood, it has been my favorite holiday.
Now, as an adult, when my kids are in town, it's so unpretentious. It's not all the "pomp and circumstance." It's just a celebration of your family and the blessings of life.
So I encourage every one of you in this Thanksgiving, heading into the Christmas season, to make a list of your blessings, the things that you are so happy about and you're so thankful for. I promise you when something hits you in life, a lot of the things you worry about fade away. But your blessings, the people you love, the things you love, all the joys of life—those are the things to be thankful for.
Have an attitude of gratitude. Be thankful for your life, thankful for your opportunity to go out and affect others and live a great life. I encourage you to be happy, be thankful and then go out and do something special in your life.
Happy Thanksgiving! And I'll see you at the top, because the bottom sure is crowded.

#ThePrivacyDebate: Calling for Congress to Act
Written by David Hoffman | September 13, 2019
By David Hoffman, Associate General Counsel and Global Privacy Officer
Summer is over and the Congressional recess has passed, yet we still have not seen a federal privacy bill. Partly due to Congress's slow progress, those who care about privacy are becoming more vocal in calling for action. Yesterday, I had the pleasure of participating in a privacy legislation panel at the Brookings Institute, at which the call for action was made loud and clear. The event, Protecting Information Privacy: Challenges and Opportunities in Federal Legislation, featured a detailed discussion about not only the urgent need for a federal privacy law but more importantly, the specific issues that the law should cover.
Cam Kerry addresses the audience at Brookings.
Cameron Kerry, Ann R. and Andrew H. Tisch Distinguished Visiting Fellow at Brookings and the former General Counsel to the Department of Commerce in the Obama Administration, provided opening remarks and a snapshot of what he viewed as the criticality of passing a comprehensive federal privacy law.
Importantly, Cam emphasized that the general approach to privacy law has shifted in the last five years. When he used to make trips to the hill to advocate for a comprehensive national framework, it was hard to find allies. Now, the question isn't around "if" we need a privacy law, but, rather "how" and "when".
Ben Wittes, left, moderates the first panel.
The second part of the event featured a panel in which I had the opportunity to participate. The panel was moderated by Benjamin Wittes, who co-founded and serves as the editor-in-chief of Lawfare and who is also a Senior Fellow at Brookings. The discussion was recorded and will be broadcast on the Lawfare Podcast as Episode 542: What Should Privacy Legislation Do?
Without spoiling too much, Sally Greenberg from the National Consumers League, and Lydia Parnes of Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati joined Cam Kerry and me agreeing that now is the time for legislation. I made the point that the current environment of weak notice and choice based laws like the California Consumer Privacy Act put too much burden on individuals to protect them from the malicious practices of data brokers and others who monetize and weaponize data. Until people can trust that they have government regulators who will sufficiently enforce robust privacy protections, we will be left with an environment that discourages the types of innovative use of data that can help society solve some of its most pressing problems, like the delivery of effective heath care and addressing climate change.
All the panelists agreed that the time is now for Congress to address these issues.
The final panel of the day, moderated by Michelle Richardson (left).
The second panel, moderated by Michelle Richardson of the Center for Democracy and Technology, featured Stu Ingis from Venable, Denise Zheng from the Business Roundtable, Berin Szoka from Tech Freedom and Neema Guliani from the ACLU. The panel analyzed the need for a law that focuses on harmful uses of data, instead of just transparency. Ingis, Richardson and Zheng have all done significant work on detailed legislative proposals and there was uniform agreement that a US federal law is possible in the next 18 months.
A consensus theme of the day was that the FTC is sorely under-resourced to protect consumer privacy. Panelists agreed that any federal bill needs to call for increased FTC resources, including more technical and legal staffing. The FTC has protected consumers' privacy for decades, but is stretched thin in terms of its ability to realistically do so today. Congress must act now to give the FTC the authority and resources it needs to protect privacy and hold bad actors accountable.
Yesterday's debate reinforced that a federal privacy law is critically needed. If Congress needs help with the drafting, it appears there are many people from industry, think tanks and the advocacy community who are ready to help get this done. If they are pressed for time, I recommend they just introduce and pass Intel's proposed bill.

197th Convocation Speaker
Academics 8/18/2017
New Hampton School is thrilled to welcome Meredith Brown, History Department Chair, as the 2017-2018 Convocation speaker. Last year, the student body selected Ms. Brown to receive the O'Connor Excellence in Teaching Prize, awarded to a teacher who is caring, inspiring and represents the best of New Hampton School.
Ms. Brown joined New Hampton School as a member of the Arts Department in 2008. Since her arrival, she has demonstrated a range of talents and an unending level of energy to be there for every student in her care, and on her stage.
She models passion, persistence and dedication for the students. As Ms. Brown continued her work in the theatre, her desire to be more engaged with students in the classroom led her to the history department. Here, she quickly established the same positive rapport with her students and her classes recognized her sincere passion for the subject matter. Ms. Brown inspires her students to be lifelong learners by actively soliciting feedback from her students and colleagues so that she, too, will continue to learn and grow.
As a faculty member beloved by her students, she will no doubt have attentive listeners as she helps to open and set the tone for the 2017-2018 academic year. Following a fun-filled and robust orientation weekend, we look forward to gathering the community on the lawn in front of Pilalas on Sunday, September 3rd for the schools 197th Convocation ceremony.

WWII veteran stands tall in police accolades
Jeremy Ervin
William Turney, 92, served as a military policeman in the U.S. Army during the second World War.
He was in the service from September 1944 to June 1945, serving in the famous "Rolling Fourth" division during the the Battle of the Bulge. He earned a silver star, bronze star and purple heart for his actions.
During his time in service he guarded supply trains throughout Europe. He was wounded in May 1945 while running a message about German positions back to his command. He delivered the message before passing out.
When he left the military he wanted to become a police officer. But there was a problem.
While the military accepted him as he was, Turney didn't meet a law enforcement height requirement, a criterion that has been dropped.
"I was only five foot six and a half, and at that time to be a cop you had to be five foot eight," Turney said.
On Monday, family members, local leaders and members of the Port Huron Police Department gathered to recognize Turney and his service, awarding him with a plaque and naming a scholarship after him. The William Turney Scholarship Fund will pay out $500 for law enforcement education to the most qualified students attending the Port Huron Police Department School Youth Academy. He was previously made an honorary deputy by the St. Clair County Sheriff Department.
"I appreciate everything everyone has done for me," Turney said. "Everyone who's here made an old man feel pretty good."
After getting out of the military, Turney took up a job at the post office, where he remained for about 30 years. He had trouble finding work after sustaining a back injury in a motorcycle crash, but found a doctor who approved him for the post office job.
"He looked at me, he was the one who took care of me when I broke my back, and he says, 'Can you do the job Bill?' and I said, 'Yes, I can do the job,' and he signed the paper for me, put it on the line," Turney said. "So I carried mail for 30 and a half years."
For about eight years, he rode with Port Huron's Volunteers in Policing program, established after 9/11 to keep on eye on infrastructure and other important areas. Port Huron Police Capt. Marcy Kuehn said Turney wasn't one to talk about his service during his time as a volunteer. Establishing the scholarship was one way the department could help preserve his legacy, Kuehn said.
"Something that would live on," she said.
Turney is the subject of a new documentary made by GBS Media called "Sworn to Return," on his time in the military. He sat for about four hours of interviews, his first time opening up about the war, his daughter Lynne Turney Zalenski said.
"Dad's my hero. He's the reason I went into the service," Zalenski said, who was in the Air Force, Army and also worked as a federal investigator.
When her father told her he was ready to tell his story, she reached out to Grant Smith, owner of GBS Media and a personal friend.
The family will have a private screening of the documentary first, but Zalenski is working on setting up a screening at a local theater, with details to be released soon.

The porch has slowly, but surely been getting a little spruce up. In the end I decided to save the money and just use what I had. Not quite as fun, but more practical for now at least. The only items that are new are the pillows, doormat and added plants. I still need to fill in my front beds some more and trim up the boxwoods. The only thing I may still do is change out the lanterns to something bigger. I always felt these were a little small for the space, but then again I tend to lean towards the oversized.


Electronic cigarette has long been questioned, but he is still growing in doubt. And according to related reports, he should be the best smoking cessation products now, the highest rate of quitting smoking. What effect does electronic cigarette smoking have on smoking cessation? Electronic cigarettes can replace cigarette dependence.
Philip, Morris, the international tobacco giant, will soon be on sale in the United States, while FDA has cleared most of its competitors ahead of time. The rapid rise of electronic cigarettes has seriously threatened the traditional tobacco companies. Electronic cigarettes are rich in flavor and almost negligible in health, while the lower production threshold brings many suppliers.

Collections Trust conference 2019: programme
Get your ticket now
Keywords – finding the right words to find the right records. If your users struggle to find things in your collections database, this event is for you. Aimed at anyone who works with collections, the theme is terminology control and why it matters. Get your ticket now.
Date: Thursday 12 September 2019
Venue: New Walk Museum and Art Gallery, Leicester
09:30 Registration and refreshments
10:00 Conference starts
16:00 Networking
17:00 End
The Collections Trust conference always aims to give both the bigger picture and case studies from a range of museums. This year is no exception, and we are delighted to confirm the following speakers, with more to follow.
A new terminology platform for the cultural heritage sector
Phil Carlisle, Data Standards Supervisor, Historic England
One of the things that has held back the development and use of controlled terminologies in UK museums is that we lacked a futureproofed way to publish and maintain them. Historic England has been working on a new terminology platform that will do exactly that, and plans to open it up to the rest of the cultural heritage sector. Phil Carlise gives a sneak preview.
Revealing hidden histories
Helen Johnson, Museum Development Officer , West Midlands Museum Development (WMMD)
Do we have the keywords to reveal hidden histories from our collections, to tell stories which may be challenging, emotive or potentially contentious? This year WMMD is working with a number of museums to identify and research untold stories from underused areas of their collections. The project will support staff and volunteers to improve collections knowledge, update documentation and terminology, and deliver richer and more engaging interpretation to museum audiences.
Flat file to thesaurus: improving terminologies at the National Gallery
Rupert Shepherd, Collection Information Manager, The National Gallery
What do you do when you've inherited a flat list of keywords, but need a structured vocabulary to drive public information retrieval? In this pragmatic case study, Rupert Shepherd looks at the steps involved in moving the National Gallery from a digitised copy of the index to a printed catalogue, to a set of structured, hierarchical vocabularies used to control the terminology in its collections management system. He explains the practical benefits, including improved discoverability on the gallery's website, and also considers what could have been done better.
Virtually shoes
Jane Seddon, Collections Manager, Northampton Museums and Art Gallery (NMAG)
NMAG, home of a Designated shoe collection, has been developing a terminology resource as part of its Virtually shoes project. This involved consulting target audiences – including shoe designers, historic costume experts, museum professionals, academics and students – on the information and the format they would want from an online catalogue. Jane Seddon explores the issues involved in balancing the terminology for this complex collection so that it met the needs of both specialists and everyday users. She also explains how the many project volunteers were trained to use the required terminology when cataloguing.
FAIR FISH: developing specialist archaeological vocabularies
Dan Miles, Research Resources Adviser, Historic England
Historic England is developing standards and controlled vocabularies to improve the recording and reporting of archaeological specialist finds, in particular those from development-led investigations. This responds to recent reports highlighting inconsistencies across the sector, as well as the desire to move towards adopting the FAIR principles and to make archaeological data reusable in the future. Dan Miles is also the convener of the Forum on Information Standards in Heritage (FISH) and will explain its role in developing thesauri and other standards.
Keywords for documenting collections management processes
Marta Mroczek, Inventory Manager, British Museum
When Collections Trust drew up a list of published term sources mapped to relevant Spectrum units of information, it was striking how few were readily available to use in more 'procedural' terminology-controlled fields. Marta Mroczek has been working on exactly this kind of terminology to document things such as ownership status, object movement and collections audit. She also shows how the British Museum's collection management system identifies and labels hazardous material, pest management, salvage priority and legal licences to comply with best practice and statutory obligations.
Collections Trust Award 2019
As is traditional, we round off the conference by announcing the winner of the Collections Trust Award, which recognises the often-unsung achievements of those who manage the collections that lie at the heart of all museums. That well-deserved recognition comes with a cash award of £1,000 for the winning museum.
The theme of this year's award responds to the Museum Association's recent Empowering collections report, which calls for a culture change in museums and collections practice in favour of 'use-led' collections activity. We agree and invite UK Accredited museums (and those working towards Accreditation) to tell us about their use-led collections project. The closing date is Wednesday 31 July. Follow this link for more information about how to enter.
Pre-conference events
If you're in Leicester the day before, there is an optional pre-conference visit to the award-winning King Richard III Visitor Centre, and also a suitably-themed pub quiz. Follow the links for further details.

Enhancements have been implemented to improve performance with credit checking functionality in the sales order entry processes.
A new view for improved performance. Prior to the enhancement, credit checking logic was an iterative process.
Improved performance at the Parent / Child level, where the Credit Check Level = P.
The same improvement has been implemented for Credit Check Level = C, S, and L.
A new external function in Credit Check Processing (B4200420) to perform the get parent and child address Amount Due and Gross Amount values instead of looping between Accumulate A/R Balance (B4200510) and B4200420.

Q: CakePHP treated comments with pagination Is there a way to paginate comments in cakePHP with a tree behavior? Should I use tree behavior anyway or to make my own code to view the comments?
Sorry, this has been asked before. I found an article: Managing Hierarchical Data in MySQL
...and I will post my solution.
Nope, I didn't find a good solution. I don't want to reinvent the wheel, I do want to make it in the cake way.
I wrote a helper for recursively print the comments:
# view/helpers/comments
class CommentsHelper extends AppHelper{
public function printComments($comments = array(), $params = array()){

    if (empty($comments) || !is_array($comments)) return false;

    echo '
';
    if (is_array($comments)){
        foreach($comments as $comment):
            ?>
            <li id="<?php echo $comment['Forum']['id']; ?>">

<?php echo $comment['Forum']['title']; ?>

                        <?php echo $comment['User']['first_name']; ?>

                        <?php echo $comment['Forum']['content']; ?>

            <?php

            if (isset ($comment['children']))
            if (is_array($comment['children'])){
                if (!empty($comment['children'])) $this->printComments($comment['children']);
            }
            echo '
';

        endforeach;
    }
        else{
            echo '
'.$comment['Forum']['title'].'
';
        }
    echo '
';
}

Here is how I retrieve the data from the database:
# controllers/forums.php
$this->set('tree', $this->Forum->find('threaded'););

The problem is how to paginate the comments?
Currently I'm using 2 tables, one for the root and 2nd for the threaded comments. I didn't find a solution.

A: You have to do it manually in controller by paginate.
The key is properly order mysql query to find comment not by id by firstly by parent_id and then id (columns are just example) - that would work for 2 level comments:
    $this->paginate = array(
            'recursive' => -1,
            'conditions' => array(
                'Comment.blog_id' => 0,
            ),
            'order' => array('parent_id', 'id'),
            'limit' => 10
    );
    $this->set('comments', $this->paginate('Comment'));

A: You can't. What I did is a link which switched between full threaded comments view AND flat paginated list.

A: IMHO: do you think that paginate comments is a good idea? just minimize space comments take on the page, and put them into one float. don't make your user to click too many links...

A: You can achieve this as
Your modal code:
var $hasMany = array(
    'Pages' => array(
        'className' => 'Page',
        'foreignKey' => 'parent_id',
    )
);

Your Controller code:
$this->paginate = array(
        'Page' => array(
            'contain' => array(
                'Pages'
            ),
            'conditions' => array(
                'Page.parent_id' => null
            )
        )
    );
    $pages = $this->paginate();

A: You should use tree behavior and order by lft.

Hedge funds, which are some of the world's most "offshore" organisations, make a lot of noise about how they had nothing to do with the latest financial and economic crisis. There is a very strong article in the Financial Times, with a great section on how they shifted risks in very dangerous ways.
"A number of cases have come to light suggesting that this was going on. The Goldman case is all about "adverse selection" – putting risky assets into CDOs. This was not unique. As the mortgage market weakened, hedge funds eagerly sponsored CDOs to place negative bets – often seeking to push the most toxic debt they could into the structures."
For more on IKB, see Jim Stewart's piece in this edition of Tax Justice Focus last year, and the role that offshore played in the latest mess. Read about the role that offshore and tax breaks played here, and read more on the general subject of links between offshore and the financial crisis here.
Neither this post nor the FT article lined to therein really does anything to show that hedge funds played a prominent role in creating the crisis, as suggestzed by the title of the post. Yes, hedge funds wanted to short the mortgage market, and yes, they may have gotten favourable treatment from banks, but neither of those statements can conceivably be held as major arguments against hedge funds and their supposed role in causing the crisis.
Actually, it does. The hedge funds merely pushed this stuff into where it seemed they weren't the most obvious culprits. Their role remained and remains fundamental.

Marica Gregorič-Stepančič, slovenska pisateljica, prevajalka in publicistka slovenskega rodu, * 2. december 1874, Škedenj, Avstro-Ogrska, † 16. februar 1954, Trst, Svobodno tržaško ozemlje.

Življenjepis
Rodila se je v družini mesarja Mihaela in perice Marije Gregorič rojene Hrovatič. Slovensko ljudsko šolo je v letih 1882−1886 obiskovala v Škednju, nemško meščansko šolo v Trstu (1886-1891) ter slovensko učiteljišče v Gorici (1891-1895). Leta 1895 je maturirala, po končanem šolanju je več let poučevala na Katinari (it. Cattinara) in drugih šolah v tržaški okolici, nazadnje pa v Škednju (1906-1917), ko je po poroki s Gracijanom Stepančičem učiteljski poklic opustila, saj je verjela, da služba in materinstvo nista združljiva. V tem času se je še bolj posvetila aktivistični in publicistični dejavnosti, med letoma 1921 in 1923 pa je celo izdajala ženski mesečnik Jadranka, Glasilo zavednega ženstva, ki ga je leta 1923 preimenovala v Glasilo odločnih in neustrašnih. Po vzponu fašizma na oblast se je umaknila iz javnega življenja in se posvetila vzgoji in izobraževanju slovenske mladine.

Zaradi svoje javne narodno zavedne drže je bila večkrat kazensko premeščena v bolj odročne kraje. Vsako poletje je izkoristila za potovanja in je že kot mlada ženska obiskala skrajni sever Evrope, pa tudi Severno Afriko in dele Azije. Svoje izkušnje je predajala učencem, do katerih je bila stroga. Še posebej stroga je bila do deklet, saj je verjela, da potrebujejo dobro pripravo na življenje v javnosti in globljo narodno zavest kot dečki.

Pisateljevanje
Marica je s pisanjem začela že na učiteljišču, ko je v letih 1894 in 1895 v dunajski reviji Vesna objavila več kratkih člankov. Tu jo je literarno spodbujal profesor Viktor Bežek. Najprej je pisala pesmi, črtice, kratke igrice in zgodbe ter potopise in jih objavljala v raznih listih (Edinost, Jutro, Ljubljanski zvon, Rdeči prapor, Zarja in ameriški Glas svobode), največ pa v Jadranki, kjer je bila izdajateljica, urednica in glavna sodelavka. V prvem obdobju njenega ustvarjanja je pisanje pesmi v ospredju. Pod različnimi psevdonimi (Ksenja, Vanda, Mara) je objavila okoli 25 pesmi. V tem obdobju je objavila tudi več člankov z različno tematiko (npr.: Spalnica za otroke in njihovo spanje ali O značaju in dobrem čtivu in vrsto drugih). Posebno mesto v njenem literarnem snovanju zavzema zgodovinska drama v petih dejanjih Veronika Deseniška, ki jo je Gregoričeva ponudila Slovenski matici pod naslovom Zagorski biser, vendar je ta ni sprejela. Avtorica jo je nato ponudila Slovenskemu gledališču v Trstu, ki jo je odigralo 30. aprila 1911 že pod naslovom  Veronika Deseniška. Drama je literarno zgodovinsko brez posebne vrednosti, vendar pa je zanimiv slovenski literarni dokument o slovstvenih in političnih vplivih hrvaške književnosti na slovensko književnost ter o nekaterih motivnih inovacijah v literarni zasnovi Celjskih grofov. dramo je objavila tudi v svojem glasilu Jadranka, kjer je objavljala domoljubne pesmi in članke z narodno in zgodovinsko tematiko.

Kasneje je svoje politične članke, prozo in poezijo objavljala v tržaškem slovenskem dnevniku Edinost. Od leta 1912 je objavljala potopisne članke o svojih potovanjih v revijah Naša bodočnost ter Dom in svet.

Leta 1915 je napisala Slovensko-italijansko slovnico za Italijane, ki pa je bila natisnjena šele leta 1936. Leta 1918 je v samozaložbi izdala tudi Italijansko-slovensko slovnico za Slovence. Izšle so naslednje: Istruzione pratica di linguea e gramatica slovena (Trst 1916), Corso di lingua slovena ad uso degli italiani (Trst 1922), Gramatica slovena (Trst 1936), Slovensko italijanska slovnica (Cleveland 1922), Italijanska slovnica (Ljubljana 1941). V rokopisu pa je ostala Slovensko francoska vadnica. Kasneje je kot publicistka in pisateljica sodelovala tudi z različnimi revijami in listi, v katerih je objavljala svoje članke in prevajala iz francoščine, italijanščine, nemščine in ruščine, iz slednje predvsem dela Puškina in Tolstoja.  Podpisovala se je z mnogo različnimi psevdonimi, med katerimi so znani Marica, Mara, Vanda, Škedenjka, Zagorka, Primorka, Ksenija, Rodoljubka, Tržačanka, Kraševka, Italska Slovenka, Vzgojiteljica, M. Stpč., Marja, Mihajlova, Mara in M. S. Gracijanova.
Po njej je bila poimenovana osnovna šola pri Sv. Ani v Trstu.

"The Walk" by Robert Walser (1917)
"Since then I have slowly learned to grasp how everything is connected across space and time, the life of the Prussian writer Kleist with that of a Swiss author who claims to have worked as a clerk in a brewery in Thun, the echo of a pistol shot across the Wannsee with the view from a window of the Herisau asylum, Walser's long walks with my own travels, dates of birth with dates of death, happiness with misfortune, natural history and the history of our industries, that of Heimat with that of exile. On all these paths Walser has been my constant companion. I only need to look up for a moment in my daily work to see him standing somewhere a little apart, the unmistakable figure of the solitary walker just pausing to take in the surroundings."

When I attempted to post on Robert Walser's "Kleist in Thun" I found myself unable to do more than launch into a barely credible to those who have not experienced rhapsody on the story in which I said
it belonged among the greatest of all art. I now feel the same way about his longer work, "The Walk".
Maybe in 2015 I will try to write a series of post on Walser, I have two of his collections of short stories.
William Sebald does a great job of explaining the wonder and power of Robert Walser in this article reprinted in The New Yorker.

Modified GRF (1-29) is not CJC-1293 nor should it be referred to as such. Modified GRF (1-29) is identical to the portion of CJC-1295 DAC that is not bound to MPA, minus the lysine. The presence of lysine in a literal "CJC without DAC" in the absence of MPA would have the opposite effect of DAC: it would drastically reduce the active life of the peptide to that of Sermorelin. Modified GRF (1-29) is the same as CJC-1295 with out DAC.

Buy PEG MGF 5mg Online USA UK AUSTRALIA SPAIN GERMANY EUROPE NETHERLANDS
PEG MGF is a splice variant of the IGF produced by a frame shift if the IGF gene and PEGylated to improve stability. PEG-MGF, or PEGylated Mechano Growth Factor, is a new and innovative form of the IGF produced by a frame shift if the IGF gene, namely Mechano Growth Factor (MGF), which is PEGylated to improve stability that outperforms natural MGF many times over. MGF is a splice variant of the IGF gene which increases stem cell count in the muscle and allows for muscle fibers to fuse and mature. This is a process required for growth of adult muscle. Natural MGF is made locally and does not travel into the bloodstream. Synthetic MGF is water based and when administered intramuscularly, travels into the bloodstream. MGF is only stable in the blood stream for only a few minutes. Research has shown that PEG-MGF helps increase the muscle stem cell count, so that more may fuse and become part of adult muscle cells.

Play It With Feeling
When Bob Moog invented his famous branded synthesizers, they sold well: his Minimoog alone managed to shift 13,000 units between 1971 and 1982. But technology advanced, and in '86, Moog Music fell silent. It's made a bit of a comeback – adoring nostalgic musos and new-age composers love the sound, just like many old-school DJs prefer the raw sound of vinyl to CD, and many producers prefer the warmth of ¼" to a hard disk workstation.
When it comes to longevity, however, nothing can beat the orchestra: after all, the violin's predecessor, the rebec, made its debut performance in the 10th century.
Don't get me wrong – synths are a powerful force for creativity in music. Without them, many of the sounds we today take for granted would never have even been imagined! Many of these flamboyant, unimaginable musical emissions are the result of little more than trial and error, and general fiddling around. Today's music is incredibly experimental, yet we're still exposed to the good old-fashioned sound of the orchestra.
When sampling was in its infancy, they couldn't wait to mimic real sounds! The 'orchestra hit' littered many a 1980s hi-NRG pop tune… a synthesizer pretending to be an orchestra! Indeed, sampling nowadays is so advanced that it can be difficult to differentiate between a real cello and a digital one. Unless you're listening closely, when you can see their faces and feel their mood as they pluck and bow.
A producer hero of mine, Trevor Horn, has always celebrated the sound of the orchestra. Some of his most memorable works were perfect fusions of modern synthetic and immaculately-scored composition. From ABC's rousing string arrangements to the many dramatic musical bridges of Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Two Tribes"; it's impossible to imagine how different his songs would have sounded without this wonderful, real instrumentation.
Next time you're sitting alone at home, turn your speakers up loud, or plug in your headphones and listen to something amazing. Authentic, original classical, such as the rousing Jupiter from Holst's "The Planets" suite. Listen to Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" – or the amazing string quartet version played by Litmus. Hear the work of soundtrack composer Murray Gold, with his evocative "Doomsday" piece from the Doctor Who soundtrack, and whilst you're there, check out the perfect combination of raw, rudimentary early synth, what happens when you make noises into microphones and hack away at bits of tape, and get a 62-piece orchestra to play along to one of the 1960s' most well-known TV theme tunes! I challenge you to not be blown away.
If you want to hear another perfect fusion of traditional and new, listen to LBC 97.3 next time you're in London, now playing a brand new, fully-orchestrated package penned by IQ Beats' Steve Scalfati [and Patrick Napper] and played by the Seattle Symphony Orchestra. Close your eyes; imagine the images of London's landmarks, the famous red buses, St Paul's cathedral, the black cabs, Trafalgar Square, Piccadilly Circus by night, and feel the pride of London's Biggest Conversation when you hear their new sound.
When you listen to real instruments; plucked, bowed, banged and blown by real people, you'll always get more back in return. The continued and increasing use of real instrumentation proves the point. We're going back to basics: music's all about emotion, and a computer will never give you that, no matter how good the programmer.

This woman in her 30's had a previous rhinoplasty by another physician. She was unhappy with her result. She did not like that her nose was too wide at the tip, her nose was crooked, and her columella, the area below the nasal tip was too low. She required revision rhinoplasty surgery where many techniques were used to address her concerns.
1 year after surgery her nose looks better. Scar tissue and previous grafts were removed. Her nasal tip cartilages were brought closer together. She had cartilage grafts applied to her nasal tip. Grafts were also applied to her dorsal nose to provide a smooth profile. Her nasal septum was straightened and her columella was raised.

The current ICO investors are going to be seeing a profit of around 82%, and this means that there is a lot of money to be made in the ICO game. The report talking about this new piece of information came from the Boston College Carroll School of Management.
In the document 'Digital Tulips? Returns to Investors in Initial Coin Offerings. You will see that they had found some evidence that they thought would prove there was a lot of underpricing for the token sales going on. Of course, all of the data so far has been proven right. This is after having looked over a dataset that had more than 4,000 ICOs that had already been realized and planned. The ICOs that were researched had earned around $12 billion together, and all of this had occurred after Jan of 2017.
The profits seen from the first token sale to the ICO's first day on the market was around 179%. That was with an average holding time of around 2 weeks. There were times when the issuers had not listed their tokens on any of the exchanges within the 60 day time-frame. During those times researchers found that there were big (-100%) amounts of negative returns coming from the tokens. However, they had still been able to see that the investor being represented was doubling their investment in those types of cases.
When adding up this information with the total asset class data, you will see that the normal token investment profits were around 82%. Also, when adding everything up from the report, you will find that the crypto-tokens show a steady abnormal positive return. The investors who had held onto the tokens that they had for more than 180 days at a time were the ones that were experiencing the highest amounts of profit (around 150% to 430%).
Throughout time you may have noticed that there have been many high-profile exit scams with ICOs. Of course, all of this has led to a lot of negative media attention circulating the well-known crypto-token way of raising capital. Recently there was a campaign that was designed to teach investors. By making use of this campaign the U.S. SEC was able to create a site that was created for a false ICO that had a purpose of looking like the normal red flagged token sale.
With all that in mind, you will see that the more active members of the crypto sphere are continuing to fight for the right to have ICOs. Of course, these really do provide everyone with a great way to generate the support they need for their upcoming projects. Even South Korea has recently said that they were going to be lifting their ban with the domestic ICOs. You might have noticed that the ban mentioned previously has been active for around a year now. With this being the case it would seem that the crypto world might be getting ready for some pretty big changes, hopefully all of them turn out good.

A policeman turns sexual predator, and a group of fearless women from around the world band together to bring him to justice. Across continents and years, they launch their own investigation with a team of Italian journalists and trigger a trial unlike any seen in Italian court.
Hosted by investigative reporter Natasha Del Toro, this ten-episode, immersive true crime series examines the trust we place in the sharing economy and the power that a simple checkmark or digital review can hold over our lives.
Episode 1 - Maria
A group of friends from Portugal, led by Maria, plan their first trip abroad - a train trip to Italy. They find Leonardo, a host and a police officer with glowing reviews. But he's not who he seems and their trip takes a terrible turn.
Japanese musician Nehito Ishida
In 2011 a powerful earthquake struck in the Pacific Ocean off Japan, causing a series of huge waves that devastated the north-east coast. Nearly sixteen thousand people were killed, and several thousand more are still missing. Hundreds of thousands of people lost their homes, but one man - Japanese musician Nehito Ishida - has been creating something hopeful from the debris of the disaster. Outlook's Alessia Cerantola went to Nagoya, west of Tokyo, to meet him.

The Italian glassmaker who protects the Mona Lisa
Precious objects or artworks are at risk of theft, vandalism, even terrorism in some cases. Protecting them is quite a task. But whose task? Outlook's Alessia Cerantola has been to meet one of those people, an Italian man called Alessandro Goppion who's been given the job of protecting some of the most valuable objects in the world including the Mona Lisa painting.
The Japanese monk moonlighting as a makeup artist
Kodo Nishimura is a Buddhist monk from Tokyo. But he also moonlights as a makeup artist. Alessia Cerantola went to meet him.
The Japanese museum that really rocks!
There's a rather unusual museum in Japan, called Chinsekikan - which is full of strange rocks. But these aren't fossils or rocks of geological significance, most of the rocks on display have been chosen because they look like faces. Funny faces, scary faces, famous faces....even faces resembling our Outlook presenters. Our reporter Alessia Cerantola has been to find out more. (Picture credit: Alessia Cerantola.)

Phone of the wind
In March 2011, a massive earthquake and tsunami caused devastation in Japan. Nineteen-thousand people were killed. And, another 2,500 are missing - including over 400 people from the town of Otsuchi. The town is still partly in ruins, and partly a construction site and many people there have been struggling with their losses. So one resident, Itaru Sasaki, has taken action. In his garden he has a phone box, and inside it a black rotary phone, though it is not connected, but he began inviting people to come and use the phone to have imaginary conversations with their missing loved one. Outlook's Alessia Cerantola paid a visit to the booth. Continue here.

You will be dealt seven cards. These cards must be split into two Poker hands: a five-card high hand and a two-card low hand. You can split your hand however you like but you must follow one simple rule: your high hand must be ranked higher than your low hand. If you do not set your hands properly, you forfeit your bet as indicated on the lower left side of the game in the result area. Use the Hand Rankings chart to assist you in setting your hands. To win, you must out-rank the house's high andlow hand. If one of your hands wins and one loses, the hand is a push.Anytime one of your hands is identical to one of the house's hands, the hands are said to be a copy. The house wins all copies. Note that two straights are not necessarily a copy. If you have a 7, 8, 9, 10, J straight and the house has a 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 straight, you win because your straight is higher than the house's. Winning bets pay a 5% commission. If your high and low hand out-rank the house's high and low hand, you win!
The five-card high hand must be higher ranked than the two-card low hand.
The house wins all copy hands.
Winners are determined according to standard Poker hand rankings with the exception of A, 2, 3, 4, 5 which is the second highest straight or straight flush if the cards are suited.
The Joker can be used only as an Ace or to complete straights and flushes.
A single deck of standard playing cards including a Joker, is shuffled after each hand.
Winning bets pay even money less a 5% commission.
The game starts when you place a bet. The details of placing bets can be read in Placing Bets on Table Games. It is strongly recommended that you read these Common Factors before playing. After placing your bet, left-click the Deal Button to deal the hand. Select the two cards you want to play in your low hand by left-clicking on the desired cards. If you change your mind, you can de-select a card by left-clicking on the card again. Once your hand is set, left-click the Donebutton. Your cards will be arranged as you designated into your high and low hands and the dealer will set the house hand. The house hand is set according to house rules. After the dealer sets the house hand, your hands will be compared to the house hands. Remember, you must win both your high and low hand to get paid. Place another bet to play again.
