David Zucker, the producer of the hilarious "Airplane" and "Naked Gun" series of movies has now spoken up against Obama's dangerous Iran nuke deal and he's done it the way he does best, with an hilarious video and this one skewers Obama's disastrous deal.
Zucker has created a new website called www.iransideeffects.com that you HAVE to see. The video is a pastiche of all those crazy drug commercials that tell potential customers about the horrible side effects of the drug.
Both hilarious and spot on right.

Valentino Rossi won a tight duel with reigning world champion Marco Marquez to win Saturday's Motul TT Assen and stretch his lead atop the MotoGP standings.
It was the Italian nine-time world champion's seventh MotoGP victory on the Assen track in the northern Netherlands.
Marquez tried to overtake the Italian nine-time champion on the final chicane of the race and the pair appeared to touch, forcing Marquez to slow down and sending Rossi through the gravel before he crossed the line in 40 minutes, 54.037 seconds, 1.242 seconds ahead of his rival.
Rossi's Yamaha teammate Jorge Lorenzo, who had won four straight MotoGP races coming into Assen, settled for third place after starting from eighth on the grid.
It was Rossi's third victory of the season as he continues to lead the world standings.

iOS and Android Users Behave Differently
In 2020, the number of apps available in the App Store and Play Store has reached 1.8 million and 2.8 million, respectively.
With the tremendous amount of competition, you just can't stop at developing and publishing your app. Instead, you need to market it. Just like marketing a product, you need to follow a set of app marketing strategies to give your apps the popularity and desirability they deserve.
In fact, an app's success heavily depends on how well it is marketed. In this article, we will cover the best app marketing strategies in 2020, for both iOS and Android apps, and look into why they work so well.
Suppose you have a brilliant idea for an app. Before investing your time and money in developing it, you must ensure that the app you have in mind is one that people will look forward to using. One great way to do this is by asking your potential users. Post a poll in social media, and let the users decide whether they will enjoy using the app.
A developer conducting a poll among users for a feature addition
The next thing to do is look at similar apps, and examine how hard the developers of those apps (your competitors) are working to impress the users.
Look For Similar Apps
By looking at similar apps, you can easily estimate the number of downloads and the revenue you can expect from your app. It is also a great way to validate your idea. Hit the App Store and Play Store with the keywords related to your app, and find the apps you will be competing with. If you find that there are tonnes of similar apps, it is better to reconsider your idea or develop an app with unique features that will help you stand out.
Find Your Competitors

Knowing your competitors is essential for app marketing and to stay ahead of the game. The best way to do this is by using App Store Intelligence Platforms. These mobile app marketing tools will help you identify your competitors, their downloads, and other essential stats that will be useful for app marketing.
Here's a list of some great platforms to get insights into your app competitors:
Appfigures
App Annie
Apptopia
MixRank
MobileAction
The best way to make your app stand out among your competitors is by including intriguing features. And the easiest way to identify these awesome features is through review mining. Review mining gives you a competitive advantage and a set of valuable data that can shape your app marketing strategies.
Here's how.
Check Your Competitor's App Store Reviews
Check the reviews of your competitors' apps. Look at the good as well as bad reviews, and learn from both. Both the App Store and Play Store have one to five stars as rating parameters. So the first thing to do is look at the one and five stars reviews – this will give the bad and good aspects of your competitors' apps.
Take note of where your competitors excelled and failed. Make sure these are reflected on your app development process. While this step has little to do with your mobile app marketing campaigns, it is a stepping stone to your app's success.
Include Features the Users Want

Reviews can be a gold mine because it provides information on the features your users want. Users might frequently be asking for certain features, which your competitors have failed to notice. You can include these features into your app, and use them for marketing and to show how your app is more beneficial to the users.
For making review mining easier, you can sort the reviews into categories.
In the App Store, you can sort the reviews as
Most Critical
Most Favorable
In the Play Store, you can sort the reviews as
You can also view the reviews of specific star ratings.
One of the most important things to do before and after your app's launch is to interact with the users consistently. You can do this both online and offline.
A developer asking for peer help to develop a feature.
On social media, you can join groups of app entrepreneurs and marketers. This will help you gain more knowledge about tested strategies and what moves people. You can get into discussions about a particular feature you plan to implement and get insights on whether or not your users would welcome it. On the other hand, going to networking events will help you meet many like-minded people and give you an overview of how the industry adapts with changes.
People interaction is fruitful because it allows you to understand your users on a personal level and will also help you come up with mobile app marketing ideas.
Before looking into how to market an app successfully, you must choose the revenue model of your app. The revenue model is a crucial part of app marketing because it decides how you will compete with similar apps. If you make your app a paid one, and your competitor offers a free app, then chances are low for your app to gain a large user base.
Other than making your application a one-time paid app, there are several ways to monetize your app. Some of them are:
Freemium Model
In-App Advertising
Image Credit: comscore.com
Around 72% of users found it to be okay to have in-app ads, in exchange for free app usage. If you wish to expand your app's user base, then the freemium model or using in-app advertising is a great choice. You can include several app monetization strategies and generate ample income from it.
Your app's ranking on the Play Store or App Store is determined by its:
Install Numbers
Other stats like uninstalls and engagement
Searching "yoga app" in the Play Store gives this search result list
When a user searches for an app (for example, "yoga app" like in the above image), the search ranking algorithm matches it with apps that have the term "yoga" in it. So when you decide a name for your app, it is always better to include a keyword that relates to your app.
The productivity app Forest uses a colon to include the keyword "focus".
If you want to stick to a particular name, yet rank up in the search results, it is better to use a hyphen or a colon and include a keyword – just like how the productivity app Forest did it.
Here are some tips that would help you in choosing your app's name:
Aim for uniqueness
Include a keyword that is related to what your app does
Make it concise, yet memorable
Don't use misspelt words (users will have a hard time finding your app, due to auto-correction in keyboards)
Your app's description is equally essential for ranking high in the results page. Make sure you include the relevant keywords but never stuff it.
In the App Store, the first 2-3 sentences are the most important as they are visible to users without them having to tap on "..more".
In the Play Store, performing rich formatting on the description using bullet points and paragraphs can make it easier for users to read. You can also use emojis to make the description more interactive.
To get the most out of app marketing, you must start marketing as early as during the app's development. Generate a buzz before pre-launch. Give a glimpse or sneak-peek of your app's features to your users. Use social media and email lists to let the world know that your app is on its way. Do note that the Android app marketing strategy and iOS app marketing strategy are similar, except when it comes to App Store Optimization (ASO).
The upcoming productivity app Steno Notes offers early access to Android users
Appcompanist, a practice app for singers, updates their social handles whenever they add a new feature to their app.
Gameloft's website collects emails from users to send their newsletters.
Getting input from the developers is a great way to perfect your app. There will be several overlooked functionalities that would require tweaking to make them better. A user will most probably look at the UX of your app. In contrast, a developer will point out the flaws in design and development. Developers can offer insights on how to frame an effective app marketing strategy as well.
If the app you are trying to market is poorly developed, the entire effort in app marketing will become futile. You need to perfect the app as much as possible. Here's how.
Catchy App Icon
The first thing users notice about your app is its icon. Make sure the design of your app's icon reflects what your app does, and at the same time, impress the viewers enough to try it out. App icon updates are the second most frequent form of ASO.
Experiment with the design – use A/B testing. See which icon design brings in more downloads. Image Credits: 9to5mac.com
Some tips to make a great app icon:
Don't use words in it
Consistency is the key – If you have several apps with the same concept, try to keep the design similar
Use borders – this would make the icon stand out in any background
Undoubtedly, the user experience forms the foundation of your app's success and plays a crucial role in app marketing. Make sure your app is easy to interact with. If your users find the experience they seek within your app, they are more likely to recommend it to their friends.
Duolingo, the language learning app, makes learning fun and easy with innovative UX.
An excellent example of intriguing UX is the language learning app Duolingo. Although learning a language can be a troubling experience, Duolingo turns it into a game. Its UI is excellent, and never leaves the users confused.
Creating memorable app designs is a great way to retain users. The design is one way your users will remember the app. Give attention to the small details – try including charming sounds and transitions that users will find enjoyable.
Make sure the design is optimized for all devices. Also, ensure your app looks consistent on both the iOS and Android platforms. This would be helpful for your users migrating from either platform.
Udemy updates its users with push notifications about events and promotions.
Push notifications can significantly improve the engagement rates of your app – but don't be too pushy. Several users might have installed your app and forgot about its existence. Push notifications can remind them about your app.
Some great things to do with push notifications are:
Personalise the notifications with the user's name
Display real-time information
Send info on offers and promotions
Push notifications are 7X times more likely to be opened than an email. Also, with segmentation, push notifications can increase retention rates up to 93%.
Do note that the usage of push notifications differ in iOS app marketing and Android app marketing, considering the differences in the OS environment and user behaviour (will be discussed later).
Make Your Users Market Your App
Instagram offers social sharing buttons, allowing users to share the app.
In app marketing, nothing can beat the power of the word of mouth (WOM). In most cases, people start using an app solely because someone recommended it to them. A person recommending your app is a loyal customer of your app.
A person tends to recommend an app only when they find it usable or enjoyable. If you respond to your users' needs correctly and update your app with improved functionalities, they will stick to your app and bring their friends as well. Make sure you have clear social share options within your app to let your users spread the word.
Customer Feedback and Reviews
A majority of apps lose users when they fail to listen to them. Just as you review mine your competitors, you should frequently look into what your users are saying.
The mobile app from Wix allows users to send feedback in-app.
Make sure there's a section within your app that lets users send their feedback and don't forget to respond to them. If you don't, users are more likely to post their issues as reviews on the app store – which is highly unfavourable.
Reviews in App Store
Google responding to a user review of the Google One App
Replying to each review on the App Store or Play Store is an excellent gesture that many users will appreciate. These might be requests for better features or recognition of your efforts. Either way, respond to them without fail. Some users might intentionally place false reviews to tarnish your app's reputation. Keep a check on them, and ensure you remove them.
Also, most users don't put reviews unless you prompt them to do it. Remind them..
If a user downloads your app and keeps it unopened, then you lose – it is just like uninstalling your app. For this, closely monitoring the analytics of your app is vital to understand how users are using it. Luckily, both the App Store and Play Store offer insightful analytics.
The App Store Connect showing the user trends for an app. Image Credits: twitter.com
For example, if the analytics reveals that users stick on to your app after the fourth day of installing it, it would be a good idea to initiate engagement strategies to retain them.
Here's a list of some mobile app marketing tools useful for analysing user behaviour in your app:
Localytics
Countly
If you have a limited budget for app marketing, ad exchanges are a great option to consider. With ad exchange you can collaborate with other developers to display your app's ads on their apps, in return for displaying their advertisements on your app. While choosing your collaborators, make sure you get the same number of app installs that you can provide them with.
Relying solely on the app stores for your app to be found won't gather the traction it deserves. Instead, you need to take your app and market it where your users hang out online. In most cases, an app succeeds when it is successful in building a community around it. This means increasing your app's online presence. Let's look at how it's done.
The fitness app Lifesum offers info on the app's along with a call-to-action (CTA) on their website.
It is always better to launch your website as early as your app's development phase. Even if you don't spend much time or effort into it, having a basic set of features would do. You can use the website to display the features of your app. You can even include a countdown in your site if your app is yet to be launched.
Start basic and add more features as you progress. Make the website's content easy to read with lots of white space. Users must be able to easily navigate through the features of your app and be led to a CTA to download the app.
Here are some must-haves in your website:
An excellent landing page with info on your app and its features
App promo videos showing your app's interface
Subscriptions form if your app is in development
Links to your other apps, if any
Download links to the app stores using store badges
Contact info – make it easier for your users to reach you
Headspace uses their blogs to discuss the mindfulness resulting from meditation, which is the unique selling poing (USP) of their app
Blogs are an excellent way for organic app marketing. You could easily add blogs as a section within your website. If you are still in the development phase, you can update your blogs with the progress of your app's development. If your app is online, you can blog about the feature updates.
Another way to use blogs for app marketing is by talking about an issue (something that bothers users) and explain how your app solves the problem. You can also produce content within your app's niche, aimed at educating your readers (and wittily introduce your app into it). For example, if you have a productivity app, you can post blogs about tips to improve productivity.
Think of a room where all of your potential customers are always present. Yes, that's social media. While blogs would require users to search, using social media, you can present your apps in front of the users. How well you present your app determines downloads and user engagements The best places to start:
The Online poll app Slido is promoted in Quora as an answer to a user's question "What are the best poll apps?"
Lumosity uses Facebook to offer audience free unlocks of specific features of their app.
Netflix uses Instagram to engage their users through posting scenes from TV shows
EA Games uses YouTube to display their gameplays.
Screenshots of route maps from the fitness app Strava is shared in Pinterest
The language learning app Duolingo uses email marketing to bring unengaged users back to the app.
Email marketing is a hidden gem mostly overlooked in app marketing. The email list collected from your app as well as your website is an excellent method to improve user retention. Marketers who used segmented email campaigns witnessed as much as 760% increase in revenue.
Using email marketing, you can send:
Info on in-app purchase discounts
Reminder of events
Weekly newsletter with your blog updates
The possibilities are endless.
Grammarly uses video to show the benefits of using their app for increasing productivity.
Video is the most effective and extensively used form of media in a content strategy. Video content is 12 times more likely to be shared than other formats. You can incorporate video into your social media strategies and gain better followers. With video marketing, you can perform the following:
Promo videos of your app's benefits
Display your app features with convincing visuals
User generated content (UGC) as reviews
App Store Optimization (ASO) is the process of optimizing an application for gaining maximum visibility in app stores during Search (when a user searches) and Explore (when a user browses). The best ASO practices can maximise the number of organic downloads without spending too much on user acquisition.
What Are the Benefits Of ASO?
The number of downloads of an app is directly related to its position in the search results – the higher, the better. Most users find apps through Search in app stores. If you want your app to be readily available through search, then ASO is a must. Also, properly executing ASO is one of the most useful app marketing strategies. Here are some of the many benefits of ASO:
Improving visibility and helping your users find your app with ease
Match your app with relevant keywords, which would help users who are looking for apps of your niche
Increase organic downloads
Reduce user acquisition cost
Get more users across different countries using localization (will be discussed later)
ASO for App Store and Play Store are similar to an extent. What differentiates their ASO are factors like character limit, and the impact of specific components on search. In short, the Play Store views ASO more close to SEO than the App Store does. Just like the importance of keywords for SEO in google search, Play Store too gives importance to keywords. In contrast, using keywords in descriptions in the Apple App Store has no impact on search.
Ranking Factors for App Store:
App Subtitle
App URL
Keyword Field
Download and Engagement
Ranking Factors for Play Store:
Downloads and Engagement
Do note that ASO is not just about Search. Let's look at how to market an app using ASO.
Choose a set of keywords for your app to be found. Keywords must include:
Main app features along with synonyms
App's category
Terms users use to describe this category
Fill in the App title and Description as discussed before. The Play Store allows 50 characters in the title and 4000 characters in the description. The App Store allows 30 characters in the title and 4000 characters in the description. Try to include keywords in your app description, especially for Play Store
Find the perfect app icon using A/B testing
Include insightful screenshots and videos
Respond to your reviews
ASO is a never-ending process in app marketing. It can't be left unattended for too long. The best way is to keep on tweaking with the components of your app page. Also, perform A/B testing for the description and keywords to find the best combination that brings in the most downloads.
While performing ASO, keep in mind that the optimization is not just for the ranking algorithm. It is for the user as well. How informative and relevant your description is to the user will ultimately decide your app's success.
Here's a list of some mobile app marketing tools for ASO and keyword research:
Mobile Action
Appcodes
App Store Localization
Including multiple languages in App Store Connect for localization.
Localization is an integral part of ASO that customises your app page for other languages. This will help your app rank higher in search results in countries where users use a different language to search. It is observed that localization boosted app downloads by 300%.
In the App Store, you can localize into 40 different languages. In the Play Store, you can localize into 77 different languages.
While performing localization in the Play Store, make sure you uncheck auto-translation.
You must localize:

Stability with no bugs or glitches
While pitching your app to a review site, make sure you include the following:
Link to your app in the app store
A concise paragraph describing your app and why it stands out
Screenshots of your app including in-app content, logo and title screen
Links to videos of your app, if any
A promo code to use your app for free, if it's a paid one
Here's a list of some app review sites:
If you get featured on an app review site, you can expect tons of app downloads.

Influencers can drive app installs significantly by improving your app's desirability and awareness among new users. The best way to do this is to find influencers within your app's niche. For example, if your app is a home workout app, connect with a fitness influencer and pay them to promote your app. YouTube, Facebook and Instagram are great platforms for influential marketing. You can use Deep Links (discussed later) and even offer discount codes through these influencers for in-app purchases.

PayPal's app install ad in LinkedIn
Paid ads are becoming an increasingly popular app marketing strategy for driving app installs. You can highlight the key features of your app and combine it with witty copies to impress your users and increase app installs.
You can run your paid ads in social media, search engines and even consult with mobile app advertisers. Both the App Store and Play Store allow app install ads to drive better installs.
Deep linking is a relatively new term in app marketing, but it is becoming important. In simple terms, deep linking bridges the gap between web and mobile apps. When a user browses the internet using a phone, a Deep Link can send the user directly from the web to the specific content in an app. For example, if a user searches for a location in an Android browser and clicks on the Direction button, the user is redirected to Google Maps with the location entered.
Another advantage of Deep Links is that even if a specific app isn't installed on a user's device, they can be prompted to install it.
We have also written an article on mobile retargeting and deep linking.

You probably won't stop with releasing just one app. If you have more than one app, you can use it to cross-promote other apps. If all your apps are within a niche, then chances are high you will gain better installs if you cross-promote. If this is your first app, you can ask other fellow developers to help you with the promotion.
Keeping your app updated is a great sign that shows your commitment to it as a developer. It can improve the features of your app, help you stay relevant with changing trends and add more features the users want. With growing concerns for security, updates can make your app secure and free from bugs.
Keeping your existing users is as important as acquiring new ones. While the engagement rate of an app is highly dependent on the relation that it has to a user's daily life, there are several ways you can draw users' attention to your app. Here are some ideas:
Make the sign-up or login process easier
Send personalised push notifications
Use social media and email marketing
Give users loyalty rewards
Be open to users' feedback
There's a considerable difference in users' behaviour while using the iOS or Android Operating Systems. As an app developer or marketer, you must know the difference for effective app marketing. The difference is based on the user experience each OS offers, which further shapes the users' expectations of how the OS will behave.
In simpler terms, the user experience would decide how the users engage and make choices within the OS.
Nearly 3.5% of Android users and 1.8% of iOS users open push notifications.
It takes an iOS user on an average 7 minutes to open a notification, compared to the 48 minutes taken by an Android user.
An iPhone user spends twice as much as an Android user, even though android apps have far more downloads
iPhone users are more inclined to make a purchase using their phones.
In short, an average iOS user is more active than an average Android user. When performing both iOS app marketing and Android app marketing, you must keep these stats in mind to channel your resources the right way.
App marketing is a never-ending process that requires frequent tweakings. It is better to start marketing your app while it is being developed.
You can't define a set of app marketing strategies that would work for all apps. This is because each app differs in its very nature, and so must be marketed accordingly. The key is to be consistent with app marketing. Remember to perform A/B testing with each component.

Endocrine disorders often cause or co-occur with depression. Thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal disease, as well as diabetes and abnormalities in the hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid (HPT) and hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axes, can all result in depression. Treatment of these endocrine conditions often ameliorates the depressive symptoms, but if persistent, they can be addressed with somatic, behavioral, and psycho therapies.
Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia that develops as a result of decreased secretion of insulin and/or impaired tissue response to insulin.1 Type 1 diabetes is caused by autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, which leads to decreased insulin secretion. Type 2 diabetes—the most common form—is due to an impaired tissue response to insulin and decreased secretion of insulin. Untreated diabetes can lead to cardiovascular, renal, neurologic, and ophthalmologic damage. Diabetes is strongly associated with depression, as evidenced by the increased prevalence of depression in individuals with diabetes compared to the general adult population.2 Untreated depression in those with diabetes can have a profound impact upon glycemic control and self-care behaviors, resulting in a greater risk of end-organ complications, disability, diminished quality of life, and increased mortality.

Prepare a baking sheet or other flat surface with a large piece of parchment paper.
Smash up about a sleeve worth of graham crackers, into bite sized pieces. Measure two cups of the graham bits into a large bowl. I measured out chunks AND the fine particles, which makes the Clodhoppers as shown. For a "prettier" candy, don't include the fine particles in your measurement. Add cashews, stir lightly to distribute.
In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips – I usually do 45 second increments, stirring in between each.
When chocolate is fully melted, pour over graham/cashew mixture, stir well to coat everything. Turn mixture out onto parchment paper, spreading mixture out to form bite sized chunks.
Cool until set, store in airtights bags / containers.
Hi Marie! I'm from Winnipeg and I used to buy clodhoppers all the time. Thanks for your homemade version. The founders of Clophoppers, Chris and Larry, now have a new candy on the market, made in Winnipeg again. It's called OMG's and it's made with graham crackers, almonds and toffee bits covered in either dark or milk chocolate. Very yummy! If you're ever in Winnipeg, pick up a bag for your family!
You'll have to let me know what you think of my Clodhopper recipe – depending on the white chocolate you use, it can be *bang on*!
OMG's are essentially the new Clodhoppers made by the old Clodhoppers guys with chocolatey graham clusters with almonds and toffee bits! They are awesome, you must pick up a package or two when you're back in Canada (I've seen them in loblaws, metro, shoppers, pretty much anywhere in Canada)!
Hi Marie, ladies. I love OMG's but they are all but cost prohibitive. However, they do sell them in the U.S. I found both flavors at Walmart but couldn't find them on the cookie aisle today. I forgot which section they were in before, so they have may have been in the candy area.
I read they were formerly called Clodhoppers, but I see on here the ingredients are a bit different. I'm looking forward to trying your recipe — with walnuts.
How long will they store for? Should you freeze them?
Probably a few weeks? I don't know, they're always gone long before they can go bad.
You can buy Clodhoppers in the Bulk Barn. They are delicious.

Melbourne-based Indian entrepreneur buys The Bindery to go along with his acquisition of Print Bound and calls for a more cooperative market environment for printing.
'I think of printers as artists and craftspeople. Why should they have to invest money in technology and face a cash crisis when we can work together for a better way,' said the charismatic Gulati as he starts to make good on his promise to 'change the face of printing in Australia.' Describing his multi-national BPO Intelligence enterprise as a 'communications business' he says he is committed to investing in new equipment as well as in taking over companies.
His latest takeover of The Bindery sees long-term operator, Rob Dunnett, more than pleased with the change of ownership. As a former equity partner, along with BPA and Macpherson's Printing, he will stay with the company as CEO and believes the industry will welcome the additional investment in one of the leading finishing providers.
There are no plans to move The Bindery from its present Mount Waverly location, even as Print Bound prepares to relocate to the old GEON premises around the corner. Gulati promises there will be further investment in technology to go along with the highly specc'd Heidelberg XL six-colour with UV drying being installed in the near future.
'This is the most highly specc'd press ever in Australia. I am prepared to make that investment and share the benefits with other printers. We have to stop the price war and work more cooperatively. We can compete and still collaborate, same as Apple and Samsung do. A price war is only a race to the bottom and doesn't help anyone,' said Gulati.
There is a refreshing optimism about Gulati's vision of the industry. As an international operator through his BPO Intelligence, he is looking at bringing onshore some of the mainly educational printing work that is currently done overseas. The falling Australian dollar is making that more likely as the entire industry becomes more internationally competitive.
Whether his call for more cooperation and collaboration will resonate in the fiercely competitive Melbourne printing market is more problematic. But if he can help put a price floor under print it will be well worth making the effort.
To "help put a price floor under print" is actually illegal.


Rampart (AM-282) was laid down on 24 November 1943 by the Gulf Shipbuilding Corp., Chickasaw, Ala.; launched on 30 March 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Frank S. Scott, wife of Lt. Frank S. Scott, attached to the inspection office of the supervisor of shipbuilding at the building yard; and commissioned on 18 November 1944, Lt. Stanley F. Luce in command.
After shakedown in the Gulf of Mexico, Rampart got underway on 8 December 1944 and arrived at Little Creek, Va., five days later. She operated out of Little Creek, conducting minesweeping exercises, until 15 January 1945, when she sailed for Casco Bay, Maine, for antisubmarine warfare training.
Rampart then returned to Hampton Roads, and got underway 25 January 1945 for the Panama Canal Zone, reaching Coco Solo on 1 February. She transited the canal and proceeded, via San Diego, to the Territory of Hawaii, arriving at Pearl Harbor on 24 February. On 7 March she headed back to the west coast, reaching Seattle, Wash., on 19 March.
On 7 April 1945, Rampart departed Seattle for Kodiak, Alaska. A week later, she steamed for Cold Bay, arriving on the 15th. On the 24th, she began shakedown with sailors of the Soviet Navy. The training was completed on 13 May, and, one week later, on 20 May 1945, Rampart was decommissioned and transferred to the Soviet Navy under Lend Lease.
Classified as a tralshik [minesweeper], the ship was given the identification number T-282, and remained in Soviet hands until scrapped in 1960. During that time the ship's American identification number was changed to MSF-282 on 7 February 1955 when she and her sisterships were redesignated as fleet minesweepers.

Otto Linck (né le  à Ulm, mort le  à Güglingen) est un naturaliste et écrivain allemand.

Biographie
Otto Linck naît dans une famille protestante. Son père Otto von Linck deviendra Generalleutnant.

Linck va au Karls-Gymnasium Stuttgart où il a l'abitur. En 1911, il commence à l'université de Tübingen des études de sylviculture et de géologie.

En 1914, Linck est militaire volontaire et est lieutenant de réserve pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Il exprime son expérience de la guerre dans des poèmes et des nouvelles. Après la guerre, de 1918 à 1920, il travaille dans les forêts d'Adelberg et de Gaildorf. À Stuttgart, il fait l'examen de l'état des forêts. De 1920 à 1922, il officie à Heilbronn, Güglingen et Schorndorf. En 1924, il est le directeur de la gestion de la forêt de Güglingen jusqu'à sa retraite en 1957. Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il s'occupe aussi de la forêt de Sternenfels.

Linck publie d'abord des poèmes et des nouvelles. Son premier recueil de poèmes paraît en 1916. Le suivant ne sort que dans les années 1950. Dans les années 1920, Linck se consacre à l'histoire de l'art et de la culture, notamment au monachisme et aux abbayes du Wurtemberg, notamment l'abbaye de Maulbronn. De même, il s'intéresse aux villes d'Ulm, Ludwigsbourg et Schwäbisch Hall. Il prend les photos des illustrations de ses livres.

Il écrit aussi des livres de son travail dans le Stromberg, notamment sur la transformation de la forêt de feuillus en forêt mixte et sur les espèces animales attachées à ces forêts. En 1937, il alerte sur la disparition du cormier. Il organise des conférences et des excursions pour faire connaître la sylviculture. Il s'oppose aussi au remembrement au Michaelsberg et à l'étalement urbain.

Son récit de la Première Guerre mondiale lui vaut d'être un auteur interdit par les nazis.

Au milieu des années 1930, Linck se tourne vers la géologie et la paléontologie. Il parle de la découverte de ses fossiles du Trias dans le Wurtemberg.

Firehawk boys win championship at Milken basketball tournament
In reversal of Glouberman outcome, girls come in second
By Noah Elad, Sports Editor

CELEBRATE: The Firehawks bench erupted in enthusiasm as the final buzzer went off in the championship game against the Milken Wildcats in the Milken Classic Basketball Tournament. The Firehawks won 55-46 with Avi Halpert scoring 26 points.
For the second time in school history, the Shalhevet boys Firehawks have won the annual Milken Classic Basketball Tournament in Bel Air, beating the tournament host Milken Wildcats 55-46 on Dec. 3.
The girls just fell short of what would have been their second Milken Tournament win, losing in the championship to the Campbell Hall Vikings 65-48 on Dec. 9.
Team co-captain Avi Halpert, a junior who plays point guard, said that especially after losing in the championship game in Glouberman it was special for the team to come out with the win at Milken.
"Everyone was on the same page, we were playing our game of basketball and we were just playing as a team," said Avi in a text message. "It felt good after losing Glouberman to see that our hard work after Glouberman is starting to pay off and we finally got to win."

The Milken Tournament hosts teams from eight local high schools, most of them not Jewish, while Glouberman is an invitational tournament that includes teams from Jewish schools in New York, Maryland, Seattle and Miami. Milken also includes some teams from bigger schools, including San Fernando High School which has over 2,000 students. The Firehawk boys beat them 60-45 in their first game of the tournament.
The boys' win makes it two tournament wins for the Firehawks this year, the girls in Glouberman and the boys in Milken.
Top scorers for the Firehawks in the championship game were Avi with 26 and Joel Asheghian with eight. Avi accounted for almost 50 percent of the team's total points.
Leading scorers for the Wildcats were Noah Carmona with 16 points and Elan Dardashti with 13.
Talia Tizabi, a senior and co-captain of the girls team, said her team had trouble executing throughout the championship game.
"We need to get better at working as a team under pressure," said Talia in a text message. "We can't back down against teams that are more skilled than us because I know that as a team we're closer than anyone we're playing."
The Firehawks had four players named to the all-tournament team, on the girls side Talia Tizabi and sophomore Yalee Schwartz, while on the boys side senior Joel Asheghian and junior Nathan Sellam. Avi Halpert was given the MVP award.
The Firehawks will look to add more tournament wins to the season in the Red Sarachek Basketball Tournament at Yeshiva University in late March.
"I think for the rest of the year we just gotta stick together and stick to our game," said Avi. "Once we stick to our game I think we will be ok and as long as we are all good teammates to each other I think we will be very good."

Amanda Knox found guilty again!!

Posted: Jan 30 2014 at 3:41pm
**personally I think she's innocent
Amanda Knox and ex-boyfriend guilty of Kercher Italy murder
Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito are seen here in 2011 when they were acquitted
Q&A: Kercher murder retrial
Profile: Amanda Knox
Profile: Raffaele Sollecito
A court in Italy has reinstated the guilty verdicts against Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito for the murder of UK student Meredith Kercher in 2007.
American Knox - who is in the US - and her Italian ex-boyfriend Sollecito had pleaded not guilty.
She was sentenced to 28 years and six months in jail, while Sollecito received 25 years.
The latest verdict overturns the pair's successful 2011 appeal, which freed them after four years in jail.
Ms Kercher was stabbed to death in the flat she shared in Perugia with Knox.
After nearly 12 hours of deliberations, the judges delivered their verdict in a courtroom in Florence, Tuscany.
They ordered that damages should be paid by the pair to the family of Ms Kercher. Ms Kercher's brother Lyle and sister Stephanie were present when the verdict was read out.
Raffaele Sollecito was in the courtroom earlier
Sollecito was ordered to surrender his passport. Extradition proceedings against Ms Knox, who refused to return to Italy for the case, may now begin.
'Flawed'
Thursday's fresh appeal hearing was ordered by Italy's highest court, the supreme court in Rome.
It had found that the 2011 appeal - which acquitted the pair - was flawed.
David WillisBBC News, Washington
Since her release from prison in October 2011, Amanda Knox has sought to pick up from where she left off.
Returning to the community on the outskirts of Seattle where she grew up, she re-enrolled at the University of Washington to study creative writing, and apart from a brief flurry of interviews to promote her autobiography - entitled Waiting to be Heard - has otherwise sought to keep a low profile.
But much as she may crave anonymity, Knox remains a constant source of fascination for the tabloid press which follows her every move.
Knox refused to return to Italy for the retrial, citing what she called on her blog the "smoke and mirrors" of the prosecution, but she has continued to maintain her innocence, writing: "I am not a murderer... I did not kill Meredith or take part in her murder, or have any prior or special knowledge of what occurred that night. I was not there and had nothing to do with it."
Knox maintains Rudy Guede - a drug dealer who is serving 16 years for Ms Kercher's murder - acted alone.
The court in Florence heard from Knox's defence team in the morning, before the two judges and eight jurors retired to deliberate on a verdict.
Summing up, Knox's lawyer, Carlo Dalla Vedova, told the court her innocence was "rock-solid and it allows us to await the verdict with serenity".
The supreme court overturned their acquittals last March after an appeal by prosecutors, who argued that important DNA evidence had been disregarded.
Ms Kercher, from Coulsdon in south London and 21 at the time, was found with her throat cut in a flat she shared with Knox in the college city of Perugia, in the central region of Umbria.
Rudy Guede from the Ivory Coast was convicted of her murder at an earlier trial and sentenced to 16 years in prison.
Prosecutors sought to prove Ms Kercher had died in a sex game involving Knox and Sollecito that had gone wrong.
They have since alleged that the murder resulted from a heated argument over cleanliness in the Perugia apartment.
Arrested days after the murder and detained in prison, Knox and Sollecito were tried and convicted in November 2009.
In 2011, an eight-member jury cleared both defendants of Ms Kercher's murder after doubts were raised over procedures used to gather DNA evidence.
Ordering a retrial last year, the supreme court moved proceedings from Umbria to Florence, in the northern region of Tuscany.
Sollecito, 29, told the court in November that it made "no real sense" for him to have committed "such an atrocious act".

she never has to set foot in Europe again so i'm sure this will just gain her more notoriety and money here in the U.S.

Q: Is it good practice to set the baseURL as window.location.origin for production / heroku deployment? I'm currently using GridFS to store images, and the only way I can successfully render them in React is by getting res.config.baseURL and concatenating my api path and image filename. When I set up my baseURL for production, I am using window.location.origin. Is this a safe method? If not is there a preferred method for setting the baseURL for production when deploying apps to heroku?
api.js
const axios = require("axios");
let axiosInstance;

if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "production") {
  axiosInstance = axios.create({
    baseURL: window.location.origin + "/"
  });
} else {
  axiosInstance = axios.create({
    baseURL: "http://localhost:8080/"
  });
}

module.exports = axiosInstance;

React component
Omitted some code for brevity
import React, { Component } from "react";
import API from "../../utils/api";
import isEmpty from "../../validation/is-empty";

class Images extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      images: [],
      baseurl: "",
    };
  }
  componentDidMount() {
    this.getImages();
  }

  getImages = () => {
    API.get(`/api/files/GET/images`)
      .then(res => {
        console.log(res);
        console.log(res.config.baseURL);
        const images = res.data;
        const baseurl = res.config.baseURL;
        this.setState({
          images,
          baseurl,
        });
      })
      .catch(err => console.log(err));
  };
  render() {
    const {
      images,
      baseurl,
    } = this.state;
    let imageList;

    if (!isEmpty(images)) {
      imageList = images.map(i => (

              Path:{" "}

                {baseurl + "api/files/GET/image/" + i.filename}

NFT Project "City Pop TOKYO" and "GEMIE" Announce NFT Audition "METAVERSE'S GOT TALENT"
Modified date: November 30, 2022 8:20pm EST
SINGAPORE, Dec. 1, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — "City Pop TOKYO," an NFT project inspired by "City Pop," a popular music genre from Japan, will hold a talent audition event named " METAVERSE'S GOT TALENT" along with Entertainment metaverse platform GEMIE (CEO: John Fung). "METAVERSE'S GOT TALENT" is a brand new talent audition project which enables artists to showcase their talents in the metaverse and subsequently win a chance to become a metaverse superstar.
As an NFT project, "City Pop TOKYO" is jointly funded by three companies: ASOBISYSTEM (CEO: Yusuke Nakagawa), which has a large number of diverse artists; Kingdom Labs (CEO: Maurice Ng), a venture studio in Hong Kong; and UPBOND (CEO: Gin Takahashi Mizuoka), which is developing a blockchain wallet for Web3 social adoption.
"City Pop TOKYO" plans to release 1984 NFTs based on "City Pop", a music genre from Japan that is immensely popular worldwide, particularly among Gen Z. The project's characters are featured in trendy outfits and makeup representing symbolic fashion styles in Japan, such as "GAL," "SHOWA," and "REIWA".
To enter "METAVERSE'S GOT TALENT", participants will first purchase a "City Pop TOKYO" NFT. NFT holders can then take part in auditions held in the GEMIE metaverse. The winner, represented by their City Pop TOKYO NFT, will be onboarded as a virtual idol under ASOBISYSTEM, and will start appearing in advertisements, releasing songs, etc. Other NFT holders from around the world can enjoy engaging in the project from various perspectives, including appearing and voting in audition events in the METAVERSE.
The METAVERSE is powered by project partner GEMIE, Asia's leading entertainment metaverse built around fan culture which act as the virtual hub to bridge the gap between celebrities and fans through virtual experiences and utility-focused NFTs. Users worldwide can participate in the decision making process of the show via the GEMIE metavese.

Q: Remove namespace with xmltodict in Python xmltodict converts XML to a Python dictionary.  It supports namespaces.  I can follow the example on the homepage and successfully remove a namespace.  However, I cannot remove the namespace from my XML and cannot identify why?  Here is my XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<status xmlns:mystatus="http://localhost/mystatus">
<section1
    mystatus:field1="data1"
    mystatus:field2="data2" />
<section2
    mystatus:lineA="outputA"
    mystatus:lineB="outputB" />
</status>

And using:
xmltodict.parse(xml,process_namespaces=True,namespaces={'http://localhost/mystatus':None})

I get:
OrderedDict([(u'status', OrderedDict([(u'section1', OrderedDict([(u'@http://localhost/mystatus:field1', u'data1'), (u'@http://localhost/mystatus:field2', u'data2')])), (u'section2', OrderedDict([(u'@http://localhost/mystatus:lineA', u'outputA'), (u'@http://localhost/mystatus:lineB', u'outputB')]))]))])

instead of:
OrderedDict([(u'status', OrderedDict([(u'section1', OrderedDict([(u'field1', u'data1'), (u'field2', u'data2')])), (u'section2', OrderedDict([(u'lineA', u'outputA'), (u'@lineB', u'outputB')]))]))])

Am I making some simple mistake, or is there something about my XML that prevents the process_namespace modification from working correctly?

A: xmltodict is based on expat, so namespaces should applied to the class name, not attribute names:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<status xmlns:mystatus="http://localhost/mystatus">
    <mystatus:section1 field1="data1" field2="data2" />
    <mystatus:section2 lineA="outputA" lineB="outputB" />
</status>

When parsed with:
foo = xmltodict.parse(xml,
                      process_namespaces=True,
                      namespaces={'http://localhost/mystatus':None})

outputs:
OrderedDict([(u'status', OrderedDict([(u'section1', OrderedDict([(u'@field1', u'data1'), (u'@field2', u'data2')])), (u'section2', OrderedDict([(u'@lineA', u'outputA'), (u'@lineB', u'outputB')]))]))])

Accessing it is easy:
# Get attribute 'lineA' from class 'section2' from class 'status'
>>> foo.get('status').get('section2').get('@lineA')
u'outputA'

Attribute namespaces are only required when you have multiple attributes of the same name (e.g. multiple id's or multiple prices, etc), in which case, I couldn't get expat or xmltodict to parse it correctly. YMMV though.


It's been two weeks since my second surgery to take down my ostomy and get my old plumbing back and working. It's been interesting to say the least. You never realize how much goes on in your body that you've just gotten used to doing without thinking. After not using the lower part of my digestive system for over 3 months it was quite the ordeal once I was all hooked up again. You'd think I could just resume normal use but I didn't account for atrophy and using different muscles and the like. For the first couple of days I felt like a baby trying to learn how to use the bathroom for the first time. I never realized how many of the muscles you use you just automatically know how to use — but since I hadn't used them for a while, I couldn't remember which muscles they were. That made for a difficult and painful first week with my new (or should I say, old) plumbing again.
Things have become much easier now that I've re-learned which muscles to use and so on, but it wasn't very fun until I learned. It makes me realize how difficult it is to just pick up things that we did routinely after a break from it. It takes us time to adapt to new situations, even if we think we should be able to remember quickly. It also makes me realize how much of a difference atrophy can make in daily life. I'd never really had to deal with any physical atrophy until these two surgeries. It gives me a new insight into spiritual disciplines though — when I don't get into the Word for some time it's not easy to just pick up where I left off. It's something I need to use daily and exercise consistently or it will atrophy and it will affect my daily life.
The other thing I've learned recently is how easy it is to think I'm fine when I'm not really good. I went to the store and bought groceries today. That was bad of me, although I don't feel bad. You see, the doctor told me not to lift more than 10lbs for 6 weeks. I think I exceeded that today with my groceries, but I thought "Ah, it won't hurt me this one time." I feel like I can lift more than that, I only have an open wound on my side from where my ostomy was. Looking back, I probably shouldn't have done it. I can't be sure it will affect me, but it would be better to trust the doctor than how I feel or think I am doing.
I realized that what I did was bad because it is a reflection of what I do with God sometimes. I think I'm fine and doing ok — I feel fine, but I really am in need of God' grace and mercy. I become the one who decides how I'm doing, not God. That's not right. I've been teaching on the letters to the churches in Revelation 2 and 3, and I'm reminded how the church in Laodocia thinks that they need nothing and are rich, but in reality they are "wretched, pitiable, poor, blind, and naked." They were wrong about how they were doing. And then Jesus tells them to buy gold and white clothes and salve for their eyes from him. He is the one who sees their real state and tells them what to do about it.
Ironically, the church in Smyrna is the opposite: they are poor, but God says that they are "rich." Again, God has the true understand of where were are at. So he encourages them based upon where they really are, not where they think they are or feel they are. So we should let God decide and inform us of where we are, not what we think or feel. And then we ought to trust what he says and do as he instructs, regardless of how we feel. The doctor's instructions to me were a good reminder of that today. Maybe I feel fine, I think I can handle lifting more than 10lbs, but the doctor has dealt with dozens of patients who have been through this surgery before. He's seen what happens, he knows what lifting more than 10lbs will do if I'm not careful. I don't. I just know how I ought to feel normally, and I'm probably wrong.
So will my disobedience to the doctor ruin my life? I don't think so, but it is a good reminder of how I should trust what God says to me. Too often I, in my pride, think that I'm doing well and am rich, but I'm not. I should trust what God says of me, not what I think or feel. And on the other side, I should not listen when the world tells me that I am foolish for believing in a God, or poor because I have chosen to pursue ministry instead of money. May God inform me whether I am rich or poor, foolish or wise. And may I listen to and heed his instructions regardless of how foolish or useless they seem to my mind or the way I feel.

Fonterra to end school milk program and support KickStart Breakfast
15-Sep-2020 - Last updated on 15-Sep-2020 at 09:03 GMT
Fonterra said it will grow KickStart Breakfast alongside partners Sanitarium and the Ministry of Social Development.

Fonterra said it is taking a new approach to how it provides nutrition to communities, to better reach those most in need across New Zealand.
CEO Miles Hurrell said, "We've taken a good look at what the country is facing into, particularly in the context of COVID-19, and asked if our current way of doing things is supporting the people who need it most.
"We can see there's a need for us to expand our thinking and take a more holistic approach that reaches more people – which is why we're making these changes."
As part of its new approach, Fonterra said it will grow KickStart Breakfast alongside partners Sanitarium and the Ministry of Social Development.
There are already more than 1,000 schools in KickStart Breakfast, and Hurrell said one of the coop's immediate goals is to work with partners to have all decile 1 to 5 schools across the country in KickStart Breakfast - reaching another 200 schools.
Fonterra said it will also extend its supply of dairy nutrition further into communities by partnering with the NZ Food Network (NZFN) to distribute dairy products to charities, foodbanks and community partners.
NZ Food Network CEO Gavin Findlay said, "NZFN is delighted to partner with Fonterra to deliver much needed goodness into the communities of Aotearoa New Zealand. This complements our own desire of 'getting food to where it's needed most'. Working together, we will strive to ensure everyone has access to healthy, nutritious food."
The new approach means Fonterra Milk for Schools, which is for primary-school-aged children, will wrap-up at the end of this year.
Fonterra said it believes it can provide more kids access to dairy nutrition by growing KickStart Breakfast - which is open to all schools, of all ages and deciles, across the country.
"We've got a lot of affection for Fonterra Milk for Schools, but we have to recognise through this refresh there's a much more efficient, environmentally focused and impactful way to get milk to more kids each day," Hurrell said.
"It will be an end of an era and we're proud of what Fonterra Milk for Schools has achieved - but times have changed and so will we, to ensure we're always doing our best for those who need it the most."
Fonterra will now talk with schools in Fonterra Milk for Schools that aren't also already members of KickStart Breakfast, to see if joining KickStart Breakfast is right for them for the 2021 school year.

About my college education: Its very interesting in meeting people & new friends.
most definitely have more free time than you ever dreamed of having in High School.
College is more challenging than compared to high school, lot of it depends on your professor. I have had some professors that required little work to get through the class while other professors had such a rigorous schedule that had me studying every single night to avoid falling behind.
Am I using what I learned in college: Not totally, but I am using what I learned as a customer service.
Do I recommend studying Associate in Hotel & Restaurant Management: It depends on what we want in life and what our goals and of course the contentment.
For me, im ok enough with what I learned and what I have now. But still creating my new goals to have a successful career.


It is written that Sun-Tzu once said, "Warfare is a great matter to a nation; it is the ground of death and of life it is the way of survival and destruction, and must be examined." Coming after the celebration of the High Holy Days of Spring–Passover and Resurrection, a private examination of liberal public warfare in America seems an essential matter, especially in the District of Columbia. Why the Nation's Capital? Well, two names illuminated the pathways of survival and destruction in the Metro Voting Scene prior to the High Holy Days–Council Member and Mayor for Life Marion "Dmitri Shepilov" Barry and Attorney General Eric "I'll Be Back Faster than You Can Say Furious" Holder. In the life and death battle of maintaining the most oppressive and poverty resistant tactics in Urban Polity, Barry represents the survivor and Holder the destroyer. Each is vital to the installation of public policies and laws that defile the political liberties of Constitutional governance in lieu of those that solidify the Utopian financial security of President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Economic Bill of Rights. These are men esteemed by their peers for their judicial and political sophistry. In variant circles, they are lauded for their past accomplishments. They are different men sharing the same political ideology. They are men of the "Democrat Civil Rights Generation" [1966 - 2008]. Each found a home for their radical beliefs within President Andrew Jackson's Party. Each believes that their racial justice and racial politics will reward "the least, the last and the lost" while incriminating those that, by acts of conscience or acts of their descendants, have oppressed such a great multitude. One operates at the federal level. The other at the state level. Yet, their paths mysteriously crossed at the corner of Racism and Voter Fraud in the Nation's Capitol on Primary Election Day 2012.
