The Time I Almost Got Fired Because Of Prince
Posted by: Paige Nienaber In: Business of Radio, Contest, Promotions 07 Jun 2018 Comments: 0
"Do you want to follow the rules or do you want to win?"
Being able to bitch and complain about our legal departments is almost a rite of passage, a badge of honor; something that can allow us to one-up our radio peers, i.e: "You think your company is bad? They're nothing compared to ours…."
And there is no question that they often give us plenty of fodder to work with. But there's a group of people out there people like Michael Martin or Rick Thomas, who if you say "United Broadcasting" will get that tiny, almost imperceptible post-piss shiver.
If you believed the lore that was doled out at corporate meetings, the founder was an innovative, albeit insane man who would hold meetings in phone booths, and yes it's possible that tin foil was involved. But only a truly insane man in the 1950s would have realized that there was a place in the marketplace for "Black Radio". Thus became United Broadcasting with a network of stations from Baltimore and Atlanta to Los Angeles and San Francisco. And when he finally died and went off to the loony bin in the skies he left his heirs with a group of radio stations that they wanted absolutely nothing to do with… except for the profits. So the company was turned over to a consortium of lawyers to run the thing and mail checks to the family.
Sure your company has lawyers but imagine if your company was run by lawyers? That was United Broadcasting. The most simple of tasks required a 17 page form be filled out and sent to Bethesda, Maryland for revisions and rewriting. So it was no surprise that almost all of their stations were getting euphemistically gutted in the ratings. I once ran a legal promo that was a minute and 44 seconds for a simple Coca-Cola promotion based around the Summer Olympics. That's some great Radio.
One of the reasons that Wild in San Francisco was actually winning as opposed to their other radio stations was that we are on the West Coast and they were on the East Coast, and there was a certain point in the day when we knew that they wouldn't be listening. It was no surprise that at the corporate meetings we were awarded number 14 out of 14 stations in the corporate Legal Compliance awards category. (I'm not joking)
Spending 3 to 4 hours a day filling out forms was a tough environment for somebody like me to operate. Time spent filling out forms, often for the fifth or sixth time, as opposed to time finding ways to beat the competition, was soul sucking.
I don't think I ever realized how truly competitive I was until I got to KSOL, soon to be Wild 107, and went up against one of the greatest radio stations ever : KMEL/San Francisco. I looked at everything as a battle to be won. Morning show contests. Remotes. Appearances at concerts. And weekend contests.
So it came to be that I found myself driving home on a Friday afternoon at 6:50 after launching a weekend contest of movie tickets for something called "Blame It On The Bellboy" featuring cinematic superstar Bronson Pinchot. I tuned over to KMEL and heard them doing Prince tickets every hour. They were winning. And that was unacceptable.
I didn't have a cell phone in my car but I did have some quarters, so I pulled over at a place called Golden Bear market and using their payphone phone called the Program Director and told him that we needed to get our thing off the air and something, anything better, on. He agreed and I called Jo Jo Wright on the hotline and told him to pull the contest , which had only run twice, and that I would be back at the station in 20 minutes. By the time that I got backthe PD had called the label and gotten commitment for Prince tickets, enough for every hour, plus a trip to see Prince in LA.
I quickly pounded out a promo JoJo recorded it during songs in the research director who was still at the radio station and laid in some Prince music. We had it on the air by 810.
And we won that weekend. If you string enough wins together, eventually you're going to win the overall battle. And that was the goal. Every opportunity that we could take a win away from KMEL was an opportunity that needed to be seized
Could I have spent three hours pounding out a 17 page form and sending it off to with scripts included to Bethesda Maryland for them to revise and send back? Sure, but they didn't work on weekends. And besides the methodology was the same. It was caller number 10 and the only thing we added was that people were qualifying for a trip, it seemed like not that big of a deal.
You would've thought that I'd suggested we put puppies in a blender; corporate lost their fucking mind. And I got called on the carpet to explain why I had changed a weekend contest early on a Friday evening. I explained that it was simple: the competition was beating us, and did we want to follow the rules or did we want to win. The overwhelming response was "follow the rules." It should be noted that the Program Director ran for cover on this one and I was the one stuck holding the Prince tickets. This episode took about a month to finally blow over and eventually was a distant memory in a rearview mirror. But yes, that was the weekend that I almost lost my job because of a Prince ticket giveaway. And I would do it again.
Do you want to win, or do you want to follow the rules? I think you can do both, but sometimes you have to make a tough decision and beg for forgiveness.
In 1994 United broadcasting finally sold off the errors got rich and all of their stations did dramatically better in the ratings once the shackles of the lawyers were taken off them.
In about 2002 I saw Prince at a Jamba juice in Minneapolis and was tempted sorely tempted to go over and tell him the story, but nobody else was bothering him and I didn't want to be that guy now. I wish I'd taken the chance.

Geneva (French: Gen�ve, German: Genf, Italian: Ginevra, Spanish: Ginebra) is the second-most populous city in Switzerland (after Z�rich), located where Lake Geneva (French: Lac de Gen�ve or Lac L�man) empties into the Rh�ne River.
Geneva was the name of a settlement of the Celtic people of the Allobrogi. After the Roman conquest it became part of the Provincia Romana (Gallia Narbonensis). At Geneva Caesar hemmed in the Helvetii on their westward march. In the 9th century it became the capital of Burgundy. In the 16th century Geneva was the center of Calvinism; the old town Cathedral (Temple St-Pierre) was John Calvin's own church. It became a canton in 1815.
The city of Geneva is the seat of many international organizations, and was the seat of the League of Nations until its dissolution. Many United Nations organizations maintain offices here.
Notable sights in Geneva include its Clock Museum and Art & History Museum.

Current population (2001) of the city of Geneva: 176,000, of which 43.4% foreign.

Debt consolidation is a popular way for many Americans to escape debt, but before you decide this is the best option for your situation, you should understand debt consolidation loan rates and many of the other factors that go along with these loans. Consolidation rates, loans assistance, and debt management all depends on your creditors, your current income, and the company you use for consolidation. Many debt management firms offer low rates loans for consolidation because they understand their clients are facing financial hard times. However, many others seek to take advantage of this situation.To avoid companies that only want to take advantage of your situation, you should understand what rates are normal for your current loans debt, credit score, and financial situation. Obviously if your credit score is less than stellar, you are going to have higher interest rates on your repayment loan. Debt consolidation loans sometimes carry a high interest rate, but this rate is often lower than several other loans with their rates combined.Education loans, payday loans, business debt, loans debt, mortgages, and car notes are all debts that can be consolidated under one roof so you only have to make one payment. Unsecured consolidation is the most commonly chosen option for repayment, since it does not require any collateral such as your house or car. This option is best for non-homeowners and those who are afraid of risking their home, however you should be aware that interest rates are much higher when the consolidation is unsecured.Bill consolidation, debt relief, and credit counseling are a few services that many debt consolidation companies offer. Typically, the better management services will tack on a fee for a specialized credit counselor who is able to assist you with your current situation and offer advice as to the steps you should take to get out of debt. These credit counselors are trained professionals and taking their advice is often recommended, since they are there to help you.Overall, the amount you pay in interest rates and fees should not be exorbitant. Any company that offers consolidation for a 30% chunk of monthly payments is not a company that is designed to help you escape debt, but a company that is seeking to profit from your current financial situation. You must be wary of these terms and do your research so you can find a company that offers debt consolidation loan rates that are within your means to repay.

Pickup cars indeed are not famous for seems. They may be essentially automobiles which do the job, and that is indeed it. This era, Toyota will effort to make considerably of any improve along with the exterior design making use of their 2020 Toyota Tacoma Redesign. The base design will, nonetheless, continue being the exact same. The sound seems to have to impact achievable purchasers to make their decision simpler.
Because we described, this car is most well-known for your off-road features. Going through that in your thoughts, the look cannot be very innovative or spectacular. It will almost certainly appear a lot more modern than far more older styles. Nevertheless, it is going to be nothing at all by any means stunning. There must be some changes; generally, those people who are quite simple to create, for instance, bumpers, taillights and top-rated lights that should now entail Introduced, along with, grille.
Bumpers will need to have the goal of compressing the impact in off-road driving a vehicle a car or truck. One of the most intriguing areas of 2020 Toyota Tacoma needs to be its standard usual water quantity of level of resistance; which will most likely be integrated into the artwork function or something that is indeed this way. Which can be unsure, but you can find steady signs or symptoms it will be anything. But adequate about the outside the house. Permit us to see what things to predict in.
Inside autos like these may also be called irritating. Again, the actual basis for here is the major undertaking in the automobile is for the task, as an alternative to finding full or have modern-day technological know-how within it. Nonetheless, 2020 Toyota Tacoma have their own gizmos. JBL mp3 way is healthy. Actually, it can be expected to be part of this Toyota design, at the same time.

Discussing the interior using this type of vehicle in just one key phrase, we are going to make use of the words "modest." Nonetheless, the price comes with it, in addition to the interior may undoubtedly be changed. Consequently, it should not be an enormous difficulty.
As soon as the exterior, and also the interior of Tacoma 2020, has nothing at all by any means sure accessible for us, it is in reality estimated that Toyota developers have to make something distinct with all the current engine. And also the 3.5-litre V6 engine is actually a dominant 1. Between 278 horsepower also torque about 265 lb-feet, it might be desirable for everybody who would like a beautiful drive.

Increased productiveness through the engine is possible even though touring around the freeway, nevertheless, if you can to advance thoroughly and calmly, this engine is often very rentable. Every day, this car, if produced and handed out efficiently, might actually be one of the most outstanding moderate pickups inside the current in addition to the approaching.
The most critical concerns for customers of 2020 Toyota Tacoma could be the release date. In the event this way, there can be another 2 yrs just before we discover this car in quantity developing. Because the specific time is not actually actual, even so, it is, in reality, imagined that Toyota will deal with everything and every possible bug before enabling this type of 1 away from your carport.

We are thrilled to announce that we have recently signed a contract with Skanska to restore all the windows for a historical and beautiful building that is a landmark in the prestigious Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea that they are redeveloping.
This project is 340,000sqft (31,600sqm) and will be redeveloping this building into new shops, offices and residential dwellings.
Designed by Fletcher Priest Architects, the scheme will see the comprehensive redevelopment of a large site bordered by Brompton Road and Sloane Street in the heart of Knightsbridge.
We won the work as we were one of the few window specialists that could not only deal with the scale and demanding specifications of the project but also deliver to Skanskas tight 142 week deadline.


The majority of the zoological specimens in the LKCNHM originate from Southeast Asia, some dating back to 1840. In the early days of the Raffles Museum, the collection comprised largely of contributions from members of the public.
After 1890, the collection increased not only through donations but also through the active collecting efforts of the museum staff. In the early 20th century, British and other European curators of the museum contributed actively to build up the collection by organising expeditions to various parts of Southeast Asia. The first ever expedition was to the Singapore islands of Pulau Brani and Pulau Blakang Mati (present Sentosa Island) led by its then director, Dr R. Hanitsch in 1895. Official links between the Raffles Museum, Selangor Museum and Perak Museum facilitated many joint expeditions in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and many adjacent islands. Large numbers of specimens were hence acquired and many of these were deposited at the Raffles Museum.
Some collections were acquired through collaborative research, donations from the public and purchases. The Raffles Museum also conducted specimen exchange programs with other institutions. These include the Sarawak Museum (Malaysia), Muzium Zoologicum Bogoriense (Indonesia), Natural History Museum (London, U.K.), American Museum of Natural History and National Museum of Natural History (U.S.A.), Nationaal Natuurhistorisch Museum (Leiden, The Netherlands), and Bombay Natural History Society (India). One of the most significant exchange was arranged in 1926 by Dr H. C. Robinson, then director of the Federated Malay States Museums. He sent the bird and mammal collections of the Selangor Museum in return for the Raffles Museum's insect collection.
Certain reference material, although cited as having been deposited in the Raffles Museum, cannot be traced in Singapore today. In the past, the expatriate directors used to send types and duplicates of their collections to the Natural History Museum (then British Museum of Natural History) and other museums in Europe and the United States. They felt that specimens would keep better there in the cooler, drier climate, and more importantly, that the specimens would be more accessible to western scientists. Some specimens, including types, were lost during the Second World War. It is possible that some material could have perished with the doomed ship that F. N. Chasen took to flee Singapore in 1942. It also appears that some of the display specimens disappeared when the zoological section of the Singapore National Museum was transferred to the Singapore Science Centre in 1972.
When the zoological collection of the National Museum was transferred to the University in 1972, it also incorporated the zoological collections of the former University of Singapore and the Nanyang University. These include D. S. Johnson's freshwater fish and crustacean collections; J. L. Harrison's mammal collection; A. K. Tham's, C. C. Lindsey's and Samuel Tay's fish collections; M. Nadchatram's mite collection; and D. H. Murphy's entomological collection. In 1983, about 2,000 fish specimens from the Andaman Sea and the South China Sea were received from the Singapore Marine Fisheries Research Department of the Southeast Asian Fisheries Development Centre (SEAFDEC). In 1997, a large collection of freshwater zooplankton samples was received from C. H. Fernando. Many specimens were also contributed by research students and staff members of the Department of Biological Sciences (National University of Singapore); members of the public; and from exchange programmes with scientists, and other research institutions and museums.
Many groups of animals are very well represented in the LKCNHM. Some of these are among the best in the world. Most of these are irreplaceable and are priceless historical specimens. The proper documentation and computerisation of these valuable collections is urgently needed for quick and easy retrieval for users. It will also reduce the unnecessary handling of specimens, especially century old specimens which are very brittle and at high risk of being damaged. So far, part one of the bird catalogue containing 3,825 records has been entered and published. The process of computerisation is often slow because of the old, hand-written labels which have hand-writing which is not easily deciphered.
Most mammals, birds and the larger reptiles are preserved dried as skins. Mammal skulls are also kept alongside the respective skins. Insects, molluscs and hard corals are maintained both in dried and wet forms. Microscopic creatures like mites and parasites are permanently mounted on glass slides and are stored in wooden cabinets. The majority of invertebrates, fishes, amphibians, reptiles, some birds and mammals are kept whole in bottles or tanks of liquid preservatives, largely in alcohol or formalin.
Dozens of major collections from Singapore, Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand, East Asia and many parts of the Indo-West Pacific are still being studied and will slowly be catalogued. For example, the four year study of Singapore's marine biodiversity by NUS and government agencies obtained hundreds of thousands of specimens which are still being sorted. As are hundreds of thousands of invertebrates from the recent Mangrove Insect Project and various university biomonitoring programs. There are also many student collections (from their project work) which need to be catalogued and integrated into the ZRC.

How Smart Watches Help Lower Heart Disease
Smart watches can be set automatically measuring heart rate
A hospital in Northern Ireland is conducting a programme to use smartwatches on patients at risk of heart disease.
A hospital in Northern Ireland is conducting a program to utilize smartwatches in patients at risk of heart disease. The smartwatch is used to live a healthier lifestyle.
Reported by the BBC, Sunday (26/12), the program named "Our Hearts Our Minds" was successful in significantly reducing the risk of death of patients from cardiovascular disease.
In addition, the program also managed to reduce smoking habits and increase physical activity and diet.

The program also resulted in a 30 percent reduction in emergency admissions of patients. That means less pressure on acute hospital services.
One of the patients who signed up for the program, Kevin Deery, said it had helped him regain his life.
He, who suffered three heart attacks earlier this year and collapsed in February 2021, was given a smartwatch that automatically measures heart rate and rhythm, physical activity and sleep patterns.
Kevin Deery, from Londonderry, suffered three heart attacks earlier this year and said the programme had helped him regain his life.

On the smartphone was installed a new mobile application called CHARLI. That allowed him to record his blood pressure, weight, diet history, and psychological health.
The app can also receive medication reminders, motivational encouragements and notifications from a care team that includes nutritionists, physiotherapists, sports professionals, and psychologists.
The 'Our Hearts Our Minds' program was established in April 2019 with face-to-face sessions at community gyms but since the Covid-19 pandemic. The entire 12-week program has been delivered remotely.
More than 600 people have taken part in the virtual program. Consultant Cardiologist Dr Susan Connolly said feedback from patients was overwhelmingly positive.
Dr Connolly believes patients with heart disease can live very long, as long as they lead a healthy lifestyle afterwards and take the right medication. "That's the whole point of the program and also to help people recover," he said.

According to him, there is a big psychological impact from heart attacks, so the program does all that.
At the end of the program patients should be empowered to live their own lives and manage their own health.

Q: Is there a difference between seasonality / cyclicality / periodicity This is a question of definition, does the stats community differentiate these terms?

A: Yes, there is a difference.
A classic time series decomposition model is
Y = T + S + C + I
Y = data
T = trend
S = seasonal = REGULAR patterns that occur with time, e.g. oatmeal sales higher in winter, or Starbucks coffee sales being highest at 7 a.m. These are usually very predictable.
C = cyclical = longer term patterns like business cycles. These aren't as regular as seasonality, and may involve some subjectivity in estimation.
I = irregular (i.e. error left over)
Periodicity refers to seasonal component. Periodicity could be monthly, biweekly, hourly, etc.
The equation above has + signs, indicating an additive model. Multiplicative models are also commonly used if the seasonality is multiplicative.
I took out the '*' signs in deference to comments below ;)

A: Perhaps.  Though my take could easily be construed as a bit too anal retentive:
I tend to use the term seasonality as a metaphor for the 'seasons' of the year: i.e. Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter (or 'Almost Winter', Winter, 'Still Winter', and 'Construction' if you live in Pennsylvania...).  In other words, I would expect a seasonal trend to have a periodicity of roughly 365 days.
I tend to use the term 'cyclicality' to refer to a response, which when decomposed in frequency space has a single dominant peak. Or, a bit more generally, much as one could stare at an engine, 'cyclicality' implies a dominant cycle -- the piston moves up, and then it moves down, and then it moves up again. Numerically, I would expect low, high, low, high, low, high, etc. So two things: (1) magnitude &/or sign switches from a low to high and (2) these switches occur with a predictable frequency. This rigor naturally evaporates when talking about business cycles -- however, I often find that a dominant frequency remains, e.g. every business quarter, or every year, things are slow for the first few weeks and high pressure the last few weeks...  So there is a dominant period, but it could be very different from 'seasonality' which to me implies a year.
Lastly, I tend to use 'periodicity' when referring to the frequency of collecting measurements.  Differing from cyclicality, the term 'periodicity' for me implies no expectation for the magnitude or sign of the data collected.
But this is just my $0.02.  And I'm just a stat student -- take from this what you will.

The event, which has been going strong since 1927, was reported to be another resounding success.
The City of Ely & District Horticultural Society presented the home grown event which organisers said had attracted a great turn out in good weather.
Show coordinator Gill Townson, one of a committee of five who help to stage the show, said: "It went very well with a good display of produce.
"Fruit was down because of the weather but craft entries were up and we had some very impressive items."
There were giant vegetables and flowers from the stalwarts who have exhibited at the show for several years along with an exciting mixture of flowers, vegetables, cooking and handicrafts along with the ever popular children's classes.
The Wesley Trophy for best in show went to Ken Howard for his wood turning.
The best horticultural entry went to onion growing specialist Charlie Stocker.
A big thanks was sent to those who came along to help set up the show and kept things running so smoothly and to those who donated food and prizes for the draw.
Thanks also went to show sponsors, the City Council, B J Jordan (Builders), Ian K Chivers (Plumbers), Millken Travel and St Peter's Garage.
Mrs Townson said they were already planning the 88th show to decide the classes and show schedule.

New ships on order for Carnival and P&O Cruises
Carnival Corporation today signed a memorandum of agreement with leading German and Finnish shipbuilders Meyer Werft and Meyer Turku to deliver three additional next-generation cruise ships that will be fully powered by Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), the cleanest burning fossil fuel in the world.
Two of the new LNG-powered ships are designated for Carnival Cruise Line, and will be built by Meyer Turku at its shipyard in Turku, Finland. Carnival Cruise Line is scheduled to take delivery of two new 180,000 gross-registered-ton cruise ships in 2020 and 2022. With an approximate passenger capacity of 5,200 based on double occupancy the two new ships will be the largest in the fleet.
The third new ship is designated for P&O Cruises UK and will be built by Meyer Werft at its shipyard in Papenburg,Germany. The new ship will, like its Carnival sister ships will exceed 180,000 gross tons and will accommodate approximately 5,200 guests making it the largest cruise ship to be built specifically for British guests. The ship is expected to be delivered in 2020.
The new ship will be the largest in the P&O Cruises fleet, compared to P&O Britannia currently the largest ship in the fleet at 141,000 gross tons. The ship will have a striking new exterior and interior design and will include the company's classic and iconic features
In total, Carnival Corporation now has agreements in place to build seven LNG-powered cruise ships for four of its 10 global cruise brands in coming years. The first of these ships is expected to be in service for AIDA Cruises and Costa Cruises in 2019.
Based on Carnival Corporation's next-generation "green cruising" ship design, these ships will use LNG to generate 100 percent of the ship's power both in port and on the open sea, an innovation that will significantly reduce exhaust emissions to help protect the environment.
Coinciding with the announcement Arnold Donald, CEO of Carnival Corporation & plc. said: "We are proud to be at the forefront of introducing LNG-powered ships to the cruise industry, working with our partners to achieve shipbuilding breakthroughs like this that will help us produce the most efficient and sustainable ships we have ever built. This is also an important step in our fleet enhancement plan that enables us to execute on our long-term strategy of measured capacity growth over time, while delivering innovative new ships that further elevate our already great guest experience. Every time we launch a new ship, we have a new opportunity to create excitement and show consumers why cruising is a great vacation at an exceptional value, especially for those who typically consider land-based vacations."
As part of its fleet enhancement plan, Carnival Corporation has already taken delivery of three new ships in 2016 for its AIDA Cruises, Carnival Cruise Line and Holland America Line brands, and plans to launch the all-new Seabourn Encore in December 2016. Including Seabourn Encore and the three new ships announced today for Carnival Cruise Lineand P&O Cruises UK, Carnival Corporation has a total of 18 new ships scheduled to be delivered between 2016 and 2022.
Carnival Corporation & plc. is the largest leisure travel company in the world, with a portfolio of 10 cruise brands in North America, Europe, Australia and Asia comprised of Carnival Cruise Line, Princess Cruises, Costa Cruises, Holland America Line, AIDA Cruises, P&O Cruises (UK), Seabourn, P&O Cruises (Australia), Cunard and Fathom. Together, these brands operate 101 ships visiting over 700 ports around the world and totaling 225,000 lower berths. Carnival employs over 120,000 people worldwide and its 10 cruise line brands attract nearly 11 million guests annually, which is about 50 percent of the global cruise market. Combining more than 200,000 daily cruise guests and 77,000 shipboard employees, more than 277,000 people are sailing aboard the Carnival Corporation fleet every single day, totaling about 80 million passenger cruise days a year.

Myers-Briggs Personality Types Of Riverdale Characters
by Mathew Cohen
in Lists
Going into its third season, Riverdale has captured a wide audience due to its noir re-imagining of Archie Comics, jam-packed with chilling mysteries, non-stop drama, and an attractive and diverse cast. With such a broad spectrum of characters getting up to all kinds of craziness in each episode, you can be sure that Riverdale sees more than its fair share of fights, friendships, and romances. These characters are over-the-top a lot of the time, but that's part of the reason that we love them!
Related: How To Read The Gargoyle King Runes In Riverdale
With that in mind, let's take a look at the Myers-Briggs personality types of some of Riverdale's most important characters, and determine whether they lean more towards extraversion or introversion, sensing or intuition, thinking or feeling, and judging or perceiving.
10. Archie Andrews- ESFJ (Extroverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging)
Archie, the series' main protagonist, is a kind-hearted and brave person who always looks to help out his family and friends when they are in need. A prime example of this is when Archie found out that his best friend Jughead was homeless and sleeping at the school; Archie immediately tried to persuade Jughead to stay at his house, and when that didn't work, he convinced his father to rehire Jughead's father at the construction company.
Archie does sometimes make rash decisions, and remains stubborn in his ways. This shows his sensing and judging characteristics, which were evident when he created the Red Circle, a controversial vigilante group tasked with protecting the Riverdale community from the Black Hood.
9. Jughead Jones- INTP (Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, Perceiving)
When we first met Archie's best friend Jughead, he was a quiet and somewhat distant person as well as a natural loner, highlighting his introverted nature. Jughead soon proved, however, that no one should make the mistake of underestimating him, with his quick wit and wise decision-making.
Not only did Jughead become a Southside Serpent at the end of the first season, he soon began to ascend Riverdale's social ladder, befriending fellow Serpents Sweet Pea, Fangs and Toni upon moving to Southside High. Jughead's transformation didn't end there, however, as further displays of his intuitiveness lead to his crowning as the leader of the Serpents. He has also shown high levels of perception throughout his time as a Riverdale High reporter, starting with his investigation of the murder of Jason Blossom.
8. Veronica Lodge- ENFP (Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving)
Veronica has shown her outgoing nature time and time again, starting from when she first arrived in Riverdale and befriended Archie and friends and also joined the River Vixens. She has also displayed excellent intuition with her ability to read into situations. One such example of this is when she anticipated that the casino gangster Elio would use underhanded tactics to cheat during Veronica's casino night at her speakeasy.
Fans were recently reminded of Veronica's love for Archie when she hatched a daring plan to break Archie out of a juvenile detention center; a plan that saw Veronica and her friends put their personal safety on the line to save a wrongly-imprisoned Archie.
7. Betty Cooper- ESFP (Extroverted, Sensing, Feeling, Perceiving)
Betty is often impulsive due to her tendency to focus on the basic information she receives when making a new discovery, which has resulted in rash arguments with her mother as well as a fallout with Veronica in season 2 of the show.
What Betty lacks in intuition she more than makes up for in perception, and her investigative journalism talent has been exhibited time and time again, such as when she identified Jason Blossom's killer and determined the true identity of the Black Hood. She also used her confidence to confront numerous people in pursuit of the truth, such as Dilton Doiley, Ethel, and Ms. Grundy.

6. Cheryl Blossom- ENFJ (Extroverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Judging)
The fiery Cheryl made it her mission to become Queen Bee at Riverdale High, and is head cheerleader of the River Vixens. With a long list of sassy comebacks such as "You stuttering sapheads are too dim to exercise your own rights", Cheryl has shown her tendency to be judgemental and says what she feels on the spur of the moment without looking further into the situation at hand.
Gradually, she has become a good friend to Archie and Co, and has even become a Serpent alongside Jughead and Toni, aiding them on numerous occasions. This includes the time she swooped in with her archery to save Jughead from Penny Peabody's clutches after the Serpents launched a daring mission to save Hot Dog.
5. Toni Topaz- INFP (Introverted, Intuitive, Feeling, Perceiving)
Toni has used her intuition to look past the obvious and develop an effective strategy for coping in dire circumstances. In what was a difficult transition, Jughead was forced to move to Southside High School, where Serpents and Ghoulies roamed the halls and jingle jangle was the drug of choice. With so many dangers lurking around the school, Toni took the liberty of showing Jughead the ropes and imparting valuable advice such as that he should befriend his fellow Serpents as a means of survival.
Whilst Toni is a reserved character, her deep feelings for her friends and girlfriend have motivated her to courageously come to their rescue on numerous occasions. In one of the standout moments of the series thus far, Toni enlisted the help of Veronica and Kevin to carry out a daring rescue mission in which they freed Cheryl from the Sisters of Quiet Mercy. This was followed by Toni and Cheryl's memorable first kiss.
4. Kevin Keller- ESFJ (Extroverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging)
Kevin has an outgoing, bubbly personality, and as Betty's best friend and confidante is naturally never short of words. He is quick to assess the basic facts surrounding a situation, and this allows him to make swift decisions, which he tends to carry out immediately, without fear of the potential repercussions. We saw this tendency of Kevin's when he had the routine of strolling through Fox Forest as a means of finding other young men looking for intimate encounters.
Many of Kevin's decisions are based on his personal feelings in a given situation, and this empowers him to look past his fears and pursue what he wants in life. Whilst most would not have the courage to pursue a romantic relationship with a Serpent, Kevin was brave enough to strike up a romance with Joaquin Dos Santos at the closing night of the Twilight Drive-In.
3. Josie McCoy- ESTP (Extroverted, Sensing, Thinking, Perceiving)
Josie strives for excellence in all aspects of her singing career, both for Josie and the Pussycats as well as in her solo career. Sometimes, Josie is quick to judge a book by its cover... as she proved when she assumed that Veronica is just as malicious as her parents, and decided to punish her by providing Ethel with sensitive information that could be used to damage Veronica's campaign for student body president.
Josie does, however, cope well with hazardous situations. When Reggie, Kevin, and Josie were sitting at Pops and deciding whether or not to play Gryphons and Gargoyles, it was Josie who was the voice of reason, who warned her friends to approach the game with caution after the three decided to play in order to develop an insight into Riverdale's recent happenings.
2. Reggie Mantle- ESFJ (Extroverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging)
When we first meet Reggie, he was loud, arrogant and bombastic jock as well as a bit of a bully. He labeled Jughead as a "spooky, scrawny pathetic internet troll too busy writing his internet manifestos to get laid"; a move which lead to a physical altercation between him and Archie.
Reggie showed immense growth, and has developed compassion for his contemporaries. He recently used his feelings as a behavioral guide when he took the decision to assist Veronica in Archie's prison break and aid Betty in her Gryphons and Gargoyles investigation. Reggie has played a crucial part in many of his friends' endeavours, and has used his judgemental nature to swiftly come to their aid in times of need, which we have seen him do on multiple occasions in his role as bartender at Veronica's speakeasy.
1. Sweet Pea- ISFJ (Introverted, Sensing, Feeling, Judging)
As a staunch and loyal Serpent and South Sider, Sweet Pea was outraged when Archie vandalized buildings on the South Side (due to thinking that it was where the Black Hood was hiding) and took his revenge by taking his gang of Serpents to the North Side where they challenged the Bull Dogs to a "no weapons" brawl in the rain.
Sweet Pea's hot-headedness and rash decision-making has born some benefits, however, as he has made for an extremely loyal ally to Jughead and the rest of the Serpents. He is also an incredibly obedient Serpent, as he respected Jughead's command for the Serpents to not play Gryphons and Gargoyles without him, as he is the gamemaster.

This week I'm excited about today's release of Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter.
I mean, what more can you ask for?!
What are you going to watch this week?
This entry was posted in Friday Film and tagged 2012 release, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, EM Castellan, Friday Film, horror, movie, Tim Burton, vampire.
Yep yep this is great. I`ve finished reading the book last week and it was fantastic!


With the introduction of sites that allow people to create shirt designs and buy or sell them online, more and more people are going online to see their designs come to life. But, if you're looking to take it one step further and contemplating starting a clothing line, then read on so you can avoid these 5 most commonly made mistakes.
A lot of times, people starting clothing lines are artists or graphic designers themselves. This makes perfect sense as it's easy for them to create and construct designs.
However, if you are not an artist or graphic designer, then it's important you find a good designer to work with. When looking for a graphic designer, it's important to ensure the both of you are on the same page when it comes to style, design and vision.
• You'll need to work out all the details. Are you going to draw up mockups for them to convert to a digital graphic with no creative input or are you giving them a description and letting them take your idea and use their own creative touch?
If you are a graphic designer and you've never prepared files for t-shirt printing, then work with your printing company on how they need the files laid out.
You already know the screen printing company you choose to work with is an important decision, but you may not be aware of the scope and dynamic details that will have to be worked out between the two of you.
Beyond just the printing of the garments, you'll also need to discuss the process of ordering (how does the printer get the order when someone orders from your website), inventory control, drop shipping and more.
The apparel printer you decide to work with is an important choice so be sure they can handle the type of garments you're looking to print, they are professional and ask a lot of questions.
You've got great ideas, you're good at marketing and sales, but if you don't know the finite details of the business, then you're asking for trouble. Simple things like the ownership of artwork can become a major headache down the road if you don't have everything laid out, especially if you see success.
All the details of your business stop with you and not "knowing" or "being aware" of something is not a valid excuse.
Get proper consultation on everything you need. By starting out correctly in the beginning, you'll lessen the chance of developing any major problems in the future.
Keep in mind that not every design is going to be a hit with your audience. Don't get discouraged, but also, don't stop coming up with new designs. You'll need to keep releasing fresh designs to have your clients keep coming back to your store.
This may seem like a no-brainer but whether you're a brick and mortar store or sell on third-party websites (Ebay, etc), having your own website is important.
The issue with 3rd-party sites is you're not in control of anything. Everything may be fine now, but you do not know what the company may do in the future. They could easily change their terms of service or make unfavorable changes that could have a major impact on your sales or income.
But, keep in mind, just having any website is not enough. We won't get into the art of developing an effective and streamlined e-commerce website but you need to ensure your site is streamlined to make it easy for customers to checkout, add related products, etc. You should also ensure your site is mobile friendly.
If you're working with a company that will print and drop-ship on demand, then this is not a major concern for you as long as the company you're working with has everything it needs to fulfill the orders quickly. However, if you manage your own inventory and fulfillment, then it's important to have inventory in stock to ensure you can get your orders out to your customers in a timely fashion.
If you're out of stock on a certain item, be sure to update that on your store to avoid receiving an order from a customer and not being able to fulfill it right away. However, out of stock items could lead to loss of revenue, especially if it is a popular item and size.
Because of the hassle of stocking and managing inventory, it may be easier for you to work with a printing company that can handle this for you.
How closely are you monitoring your statistics? What is your personalization strategy? What is your Click Through Rate (CTR)? What is your conversion rate? Things like this are important for you to keep track of.
With a new store, your conversion rate may actually be closer to 1-2%. We're not telling you these stats to dissuade you from starting, but we just wanted to point out that it's important you are constantly looking for ways to improve.
This video will probably be a little overboard for a new store but has good information about the importance of personalization and how to improve conversion rates for your online store.
Unless you have a sales and business development team working for you, you'll need to be the salesman. You can't be shy about it and if talking to people is not for you, then you either need to hire someone to do it for you or seriously consider if this is something you want to pursue.
Marketing your products is vital so get ready to roll up your sleeves and read on.
By now, you should already know who your target audience is. It's important to become very familiar with your audience and immerse yourself into the community and become known in the subculture. By doing this, you're establishing yourself and your brand directly to your audience.
Obviously, you don't want to not be authentic about your participation either. Just like you hear people toting if you love your job, you'll never work a day in your life. Hopefully you'll work within a niche that you're interested in.
This is one mistake many people make when working to establish a tshirt line.
In addition to establishing a great online presence through a solid website, social media, SEO, etc, you should also look at taking advantage of different offline opportunities as well. There are probably several "boutique" type stores in your area. Go in and talk to the manager (or owner) and try to work out a deal with them to carry your clothing.
Once you get a few of those smaller stores under your belt, you can then approach some bigger retailers.
Your niche, or target audience, will most likely have some type of community, whether online or offline, where you can establish you and your brand.
Find out what special events, conventions or meet-ups are available and contact the organizers to see if you can attend and display/sell your products. If it's a bigger or more established group, they'll most likely want you to pay to be a "vendor" or "exhibitor." If your marketing budget is low, ask them to see if they'd be interested in any type of revenue sharing deal.
Conventions and special events are like magazines and newspapers. They have a set amount of space to work with and if they don't "sell" those spaces, they will just end up empty anyway, and no event organizer likes empty spaces and gaps.
Will this work every time? Absolutely not. In fact, this will only work once in a great while but that doesn't mean you can't ask them about it.
If you have absolutely no advertising budget, then look for other smaller and more local events and grow from there.
Some people will say SEO is dead but the truth is, SEO is an important component of your overall marketing strategy. Writing about how to properly do SEO for your ecommerce website would be an entire article all by itself, but just know that if you're not incorporating this tactic, you are missing out on revenue.
Social media is a great way to market your products. The best part, it's free and you can target your specific audience. It does take time, but for those on a tighter budget, you can't beat this. Again, to write an article on how to correctly incorporate social media, that would take another full article but look at this resource on how to make more effective for ecommerce.
The main thing we always preach is to remember that it's called "social" media for a reason. You have to be social and interact with people. Don't just post discounts and coupons on your profiles. Build a base, interact and you'll have a very targeted group of people who are interested in your products.
Press releases are a great way to spread the word about the latest and greatest about your company or brand. For those of you who don't know, press releases inform the media of what's going on with your company. The goal is to make your press release newsworthy enough for the media to pick up the story and cover it. However, news is not limited to traditional media sources anymore. Now, bloggers and other online content providers can pick up your story and publish it on their website.
Starting a clothing line can be fun and very rewarding. However, you need to do your homework and be prepared to do some work. Any questions or comments, please leave them below.


What is the change? The Singapore Ministry of Manpower will impose new work permit conditions on those who employ maids and other foreign domestic workers, or FDWs.
What does the change mean? Beginning in January, employers will be prohibited from keeping any money belonging to their FDWs, including salaries, even if requested for safekeeping by the employee.
Implementation time frame: Jan. 1, 2019.
Visas/permits affected: Work permits for FDWs.
Business impact: Companies whose employees hire FDWs should be aware of the new restrictions.
Background: The ministry said that the new policy would help avoid financial disputes between employers and their FDWs. Employers are encouraged to assist their FDWs in opening bank accounts and to pay the FDWs' salaries electronically.
Analysis & Comments: Individuals who hire FDWs, including expatriate employees in Singapore, should prepare for the new rules and consider paying their household employees electronically. Employers of FDWs are encouraged to contact the Ministry of Manpower for additional information.


(a/b) (mod P) = (a * b^-1) (mod P) = (a (mod P) * b^-1 (mod P)) (mod P).
If P prime you can use fermat Dont depend on a,b. Also you can use fucntion of the Euler. a/b mod P = a * b^(f(P)) mod P. f — Euler fucn. For prime num f(p)=p-2.
There is a small mistake in your explanation. Actually, you need to multiply A by B in power of f(P)-1 and f(P) for prime number is P-1.
Sorry. You are right, i forgot about it.
You can also use extended euclid if a and P are coprime. Here's the equation a'x + b'y = gcd(a', b'), put a' = b and b' = P, since gcd(a, P) = 1, taking modulo both sides you have x as your answer.
If b | a, then we can do some thing like: , Where Q = P * b.
I think your idea is quite wonderful. I have met a problem asking, for instance, to calculate , and I think your idea can solve this sort of problem very well.
Perhaps it is even not necessary for P to be a prime integer under this condition.
Yes, it's good idea when b is small, but when it's big, this formula become not practical at all.
Great Idea! In a problem, I was told to find (1 + a2 + a3 + ... + ab - 1)modN .It seems I can now use the Geometric Sum Formula.
What should i do when p is not prime And a,b are not co-prime to p?
However this approach is basically useless unless $$$a$$$ is within 64-bit integer range.
after that we can solve each $$$P_i$$$ using the above method and merge the result using Chinese remainder theorem.
