I think of this as dinner-party pot roast. While the basic technique is the same as a regular Sunday night pot roast, the herb-flecked carrot garnish makes it dressy enough for company. Instead of braising along with the beef, the carrots are glazed on top of the stove in a bit of the Zinfandel braising liquid just before serving, so that they remain bright and crisp – a fresh contrast to the gorgeously tender beef. If you like, use half parsnips and half carrots. The parsnips will cook in the same amount of time. My first choice for this recipe is always top blade roast because its neat shape makes it easy and elegant to carve for your guests. You can certainly select other pot roast cuts. Serve with buttery mashed potatoes, soft polenta, or savory bread pudding, and a light salad of Bibb lettuce tossed with a creamy vinaigrette.
The aromatics and braising liquid: Return the pot to medium-high heat and add the onion, carrot, celery and garlic. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until just starting to brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in the wine, scrape the bottom with a wooden spoon to loosen any of the cherished cooked-on bits of caramelized beef juices, and boil to reduce the wine by about half, about 6 minutes. Add the stock, return to a boil, and boil to reduce by just about one third, another 5 minutes. Return the meat to the pot, and add the sage, parsley, and peppercorns. Cover with a piece of parchment paper, pressing down so that it nearly touches the meat and the edges of the paper overhang the pot by about an inch. Set the lid in place.
The finish: remove the pot from the oven. Lift the beef out with tongs or a sturdy spatula, set on a carving platter to catch the juices, and cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Strain the cooking liquid, pressing down on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the spent aromatics, and pour the liquid into a medium saucepan. Let the braising liquid settle, then spoon off and discard as much fat s you easily can with a wide spoon. Measure out ½ cup of the juices for glazing the carrots and set the rest aside in a warm spot.
Glazing the carrots: heat the oil and butter in a large skillet (12 or 13 inch) over medium-high heat. When quite hot, add the carrots (and parsnips, if using), season with salt and pepper, and cook briskly, shaking or stirring them, until lightly glazed and brown in spots, about 8 minutes. Add the ½ cup braising liquid, cover partway, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer until tender but not at all mushy, 6 to 8 minutes. Uncover, raise the heat, and bring back to a boil. Add the vinegar, sugar, sage and parsley and cook until the liquid is reduced to a glaze, about 1 minute. Taste for salt and pepper.
Zinfandel – especially the same wine used in the braise. Look for old-vine Zinfandels from the Sonoma, Mendocino, and Napa counties. Southern Rhone Grenache blends, such as Chateauneuf-du-Pape would also do well.

We have already declared in our Mission Statement that Franciscan University of Steubenville belongs to the Catholic tradition and is committed to the faith of the Catholic Church. Since we also stand in the Catholic tradition as a university, we propose in this "Philosophy of the Curriculum" to complement the Mission Statement by declaring more fully our identity as a Catholic Franciscan university, especially as this identity is expressed in the curriculum.
This is why the curriculum at Franciscan University aims at introducing our students to all the main areas of knowledge. They study philosophy and theology, which have a special place in the tradition of Catholic learning; they encounter great literature and poetry; they develop historical consciousness; they are introduced to the rigors of the scientific method and of quantitative analysis; their artistic sensibilities are refined; they study man not only through philosophy but also through the natural and social sciences; they have some contact with art and thought outside the orbit of Western civilization. And our curriculum presents these things, not each by itself, but in such a way that each throws light on the other.
We aim not only at human wisdom, but also at Christian wisdom. In presenting the Christian faith, we take care to present it, not in isolation from other truths, but in relation to them, so that faith interprets them and is at the same time interpreted by them. We want to enable our students to make Christian sense out of what they learn in their natural science courses, in their social science courses, in their study of art and literature. This does not mean that the Christian faith should interfere with or overrule the methods proper to the different disciplines, or that it should make us unwilling to accept the contributions made by unbelievers; it means that these disciplines, while being entirely respected according to their proper autonomy, should, as the nature of each allows, be brought into relation to Christian revelation. And, in the encounter with human knowledge, faith not only gives but also receives; our students find that their faith becomes "embodied" in such a way as to be deepened and enriched.
This unity of faith and human knowledge is what we mean by Christian humanism, and we declare it to be one of the first principles of the curriculum. We commit ourselves to all that John Paul II says about Christian humanism in his "Apostolic Constitution on Catholic Universities," Ex Corde Ecclesiae.
Our curriculum also aims at developing in our students certain habits of mind that are connatural to the universal openness to all truth to which we are committed. Indeed, the proper concern of the curriculum is more with intellectual virtue than with moral virtue.
Thus, the curriculum educates our students to recognize the central issue in a discussion, and to distinguish it from other issues that are related to it only by association but not in an intrinsic way. We want to enable our students to develop a sense of proportion with regard to truth, and to know how to discriminate between first principles and remote consequences. When they listen to a speaker, they should not be dazzled by rhetorical flourish, but should know how to look for intellectual substance. They should not repeat as their own what is in fact someone else's idea that they have not yet fully understood. They should mature intellectually in such a way as never to grow old intellectually, that is, never to reach a point where they are unable or unwilling to understand what another is saying, or to learn something new, or to do justice to challenging questions put to them about their convictions. They should also recognize issues that are beyond them, on which they are unable to have any informed judgment; with Socrates they should know what they do not know as well as what they do know.
We think that these intellectual habits also give our students a unique resourcefulness in facing life, so that they do not need a specially protected environment to thrive; their intellectual formation gives them an adaptability that is expressed in rising to the most unexpected challenges. It also prepares them for assuming positions of leadership in the Church and the world.
We think that nothing is as important for the imparting to our students of this spirit of just judgment, as the personal example of the professors who practice just and balanced judgment in all their teaching, writing, and professional practice. Very important, also, is the encounter with the classics of Western civilization, in which the greatest minds of our tradition still speak to us.
Our students, however, will not be formed by passive exposure to exemplary teachers and to canonical authors; they have to receive and absorb what they see being lived by their mentors and what they see in the past masters. This they do in a particular way in the activities of writing and of speaking. We are committed to a curriculum that places the highest premium on students being taught to express clear thought in good English.
In accordance with our Franciscan heritage, these intellectual virtues are developed at Franciscan University together with the moral and religious virtues, that is, together with love of truth and reverence for God and respect for all persons, including those with whom we disagree. Here, too, we aim at the fullest possible integration. But as we have already said, the curriculum as such is in a particular way concerned with the intellectual virtues; if it does not foster these, it is a failure. We resist confounding intellectual and moral excellence, and we know well that, as Venerable Newman insisted, the one does not necessarily follow upon the other.
Important as general liberal arts education is, it is not enough; without the special con- centration of study, which we call the major program, something important would be missing in the education of our students. Our students should learn to unite their broad studies in the liberal arts with the more specialized studies in their major discipline. The breadth of the one and the depth of the other should serve to complement each other.
The work in the major is done within the unity of all knowledge, and so it is protected from a narrowing spirit of specialization: The work in the liberal arts is focused according to the perspective of a particular discipline, and so it is protected from becoming superficial and diffuse. Indeed, the intellectual virtues to which we are committed require the specialized study in the major no less than they require the general studies of the core curriculum.
Relation of the University to the Larger Culture.
On the one hand, we resist the temptation to be "relevant" in a shortsighted way. We teach many important subjects that do not have direct consequences for dealing with the burning social issues of the day. On the other hand, we recognize our responsibility for addressing these social issues in our teaching and writing; indeed, it belongs in a particular way to our Franciscan spirit of service to recognize this responsibility. We affirm all that St. Pope John Paul II says in Ex Corde Ecclesiae (especially in paragraphs 32–34) about the dialogue that the Catholic university should have with the larger culture in which it is situated. We also affirm what he says about the unique contribution the Catholic university precisely as university can make to the Church's work of evangelization.
One of our primary ways of serving the larger society is to provide various kinds of professional education, both on the graduate and on the undergraduate levels. Most of our students major in one of the professional programs, and we have an increasing number of graduate students who are receiving master's degrees, each of which prepares the student for the practice of a profession.
In these professional programs, especially at the undergraduate level, our curriculum aims at uniting professional competence with intellectual formation in the spirit of Christian humanism, which we believe provides the best possible foundation for the fully human performance of a professional activity. The curriculum aims at educating fully competent professionals who at the same time remain full human beings, never losing their sense of the unity of all knowledge, and above all never losing their sense for the ethical dimensions of human activity.
The master's programs have, of course, no general liberal arts requirements, but here, too, the curriculum tries to achieve the great advantages of specialized study while guarding against the dehumanization that can result from overly specialized study.
We think that the professional programs stand in a much closer relation to the Christian commitment of the university than one might at first think. Vatican II, especially in Gaudium et Spes, speaks of the task of lay Christians "to build up the earth" in the spirit of the Gospel; more clearly than ever before, the Church teaches that we should not only aim at saving our souls and at worshiping God in the liturgy, but that we should also claim all the regions of earthly existence for Christ, bringing his Spirit into them. One sees here the Christocentric spirit of Franciscanism. The Council goes so far as to say that by doing this we make present even now the kingdom of God, which will come in fullness at the end of time (see Gaudium et Spes, No. 39). One main way in which the university can contribute to this great task of the lay Christian in the modern world is to provide professional education in the spirit of Christian humanism.
These are the principles on which we have built our curriculum; on these principles we will continue to develop it.

#Providenciales, February 6, 2019 – Turks and Caicos – We all commend it when islanders dare to dream big and reach high in their pursuits… That is likely why this self recorded submission for the PNP leadership race is gaining traction.
Lewis Francis of Grand Turk says he wants progress, a bright future for children and Premiership of the TCI as he throws his hat into the ring and that includes the General Elections.
The PNP leadership vote, announced for March 2019, is so far a two-man race, it seems. Yesterday, there came a bombshell bow-out by former party leader and former premier Dr. Rufus Ewing as one vying for the post.
The first announced applicant for the job was GDT North MP, George Lightbourne… he penned this to Magnetic Media about Dr. Ewing yesterday.
Lewis Francis says currently he serves as fire chief on Ambergris Cay.
We have been, so far unable to speak directly to Mr. Francis. And we are still trying to confirm his candidacy with party chairman, Royal Robinson.

LET US FLY! Idea on Demon Hunter Flying.
Well let's look at the nuts and bolts of it. All flying mounts run at 100% mount speed on the ground. If we got an animation that requires a cast time to use our wings to fly, like the worgen run, would we then get the ground speed buff too? I doubt it. Wouldn't make sense. Flying would be fun, but i can't see past that issue.
I'll beelieve it when I see it.

While we don't have a rich history of tier sets like other classes you can get rogue tier lookalike from just about every expansion. As the last person said we can also get the lookalike sets from other leather classes for this expansion. Biggest miss for me is that we don't have access to pvp sets from previous expansions. Less than others, that's true, but still plenty to choose from.

Privy Council Decision on Directors Duties and Concurrent Findings of Fact
The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council has handed down last week its judgment in Kathryn Ma Wai Fong v Wong Kie Yik and Ors, which resulted from litigation first commenced in the British Virgin Islands ("BVI") in May 2015. By its judgment, the Board provides welcome clarity on the law concerning directors' duties and on appeals against concurrent findings of fact by the courts below.
Maples and Calder, the Maples Group's law firm, acted for the successful respondents, Wong Kie Yik and Wong Kie Chie (each "WKY" and "WKC"), and the legal team was led by Partners Aisling Dwyer and Adrian Francis, and Associates Scott Tolliss and Aline Mooney.
The appeal arose from a shareholder dispute between the appellant, Ms Ma, and WKY and WKC, concerning their respective beneficial ownership of a 1/3 interest in the Third Respondent, a BVI company called Successful Trend Investments Corporation ("STIC"). Ms Ma is the personal representative, executrix and trustee of the estate of her late husband, Wong Kie Nai ("WKN"), who was the brother of WKY and WKC. She holds her 1/3 interest in STIC in her capacity as executrix of WKN's estate.
STIC is incorporated in the BVI but is part of a larger corporate group established in Malaysia, referred to as the WTK Group. STIC held 55 million non-voting convertible preference shares (the "CPS") in WTK Realty, another company within the wider WTK Group.
Shortly after WKN died in March 2013, STIC (at the suggestion of WKY and WKC) elected to convert the CPS into ordinary shares in WTK Realty (the "Conversion"), which thereupon comprised 14.4% of WTK Realty's ordinary share capital. As WKY and WKC had voting control over STIC, following the Conversion they acquired voting control of WTK Realty.
The reason given by WKY and WKC for the Conversion was, among other things, that it was required for financing purposes. Ms Ma claimed that the primary purpose of the Conversion was to dilute the rights of WKN's estate which, she said, was an improper purpose contrary to BVI company law.
Ms Ma sought, among other things: (i) a winding up order against STIC; (ii) an order setting aside the Conversion; and / or (iii) further or other relief, alleging that the affairs of STIC were conducted in a manner that was unfairly prejudicial, unfairly discriminatory, and / or oppressive to her in her capacity as a member.
The judge at first instance held that there had been no unfair prejudice and dismissed the claim, but made an order requiring WKY and WKC to acquire Ms Ma's shares in STIC on the basis, among other things, that they could not be expected to work together going forward. The Court of Appeal dismissed Ms Ma's appeal, and she subsequently availed herself of her final right of appeal to the Privy Council, after being granted final leave to do so in December 2019.
The Judgment
Among Ms Ma's grounds of appeal were challenges to: (a) the lower court's concurrent findings of fact, including the first instance judge's assessment of the witnesses; and (b) the lower court's findings that WKY and WKC were not in breach of their fiduciary duties as de facto directors of STIC to act in its best interests.
Dealing first with the legal principles arising on an appeal against concurrent findings of fact, the Board held:
• The position is well-established by decisions such as Devi v Roy ("Devi") in that the practice of the Board is not to interfere with concurrent findings of pure fact unless there has been some miscarriage of justice or violation of some principle of law or procedure;
• Per Lord Thankerton's decision in Devi, the Board will "decline to review the evidence for a third time, unless there are some special circumstances which would justify a departure from the practice";
• The requirement of "special circumstances" is a high hurdle for an appellant to overcome;
• It must be "shown with absolute clearness that some blunder or error is apparent in the way in which the learned judges below have dealt with the facts";
• Ms Ma's suggestion that the recent decision of the Board in Central Bank of Ecuador v Conticorp SA (Bahamas) ("Bank of Ecuador") has materially changed the test in Devi was not the correct analysis;
• The decision in Bank of Ecuador is merely an example of the exceptional type of case envisaged by Devi, and should not be regarded by prospective appellants as a watering down of the principles in Devi;
• Ms Ma's submissions did not establish that this case is one where the judge below failed to take advantage of his ability to see and assess the witnesses, nor that he ignored crucial evidence relied upon by Ms Ma;
• To the contrary, the Board found that the judge made a careful assessment of the evidence, and his factual findings, including as to the primary purpose for the Conversion, should stand.
The Board then addressed the law on directors' duties and, in doing so, it found:
• The test to be applied where directors have failed to turn their minds to whether a proposed transaction is in the best interests of the company was considered by the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal in Antow Holdings Ltd v Best Nation Investments and Ors ("Antow");
• The core fiduciary duty of a director to act honestly and in good faith, as encapsulated in section 120 of the Business Companies Act 2004, is largely, though by no means entirely, a subjective test and the courts have adopted a non-interventionist attitude when reviewing business decisions;
• Where, however, there has been a failure by a director to consider the separate interests of the company, the test will then become an objective one;
• Citing Charterbridge Corpn Ltd v Lloyds Bank Ltd ("Charterbridge"), the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal described the test as whether an intelligent and honest man in the position of a director of the company concerned could, in the whole of the existing circumstances, have reasonably believed that the transaction was for the benefit of the company;
• The facts in each of Antow and Charterbridge were similar to those pertaining to STIC and WTK Realty, in that the directors had looked to the benefit of the group as a whole without giving separate consideration to the benefit of the particular company within that group;
• The test set out in Antow and Charterbridge is therefore the correct test to apply to the present appeal;
• On application of the test, the judge below was entitled to find that STIC genuinely required financing and the Conversion was the best way to achieve it;
• The value of STIC's shareholding in WTK Realty was maintained and preserved by the Conversion and, if WKY and WKC had turned their minds to the best interests of STIC, as they should have done, they would reasonably have decided to convert the CPS, and there was therefore no breach of their fiduciary duties to STIC.
The Board ultimately dismissed the appeal, and reaffirmed the orders of the below courts, including the buy-out order.
The judgment stands as a useful and welcome clarification of the principles relating to appeals against concurrent factual findings and the law on directors' duties. Specifically, it highlights the reluctance of the BVI's highest appellate court to go behind the assessment of a judge who has had the benefit of live evidence at trial, and who has presided over a matter for an extended period of time. Appellants going forward will be wise to consider the learning, recited by the Board in its judgment, as to when a truly exceptional circumstance, such as that in Bank of Ecuador, might be said to have arisen such that the Board will consider the evidence afresh (at the point of a final appeal, for the third time).
These proceedings saw the Maples Group's BVI and Hong Kong offices work collaboratively for the successful respondents, and the Maples Group can offer the same cross-office cooperation and support on all litigation matters where appropriate.

Q: C# SendKeys.Send doesn't work in games Project GitHub Link
I created a Macro software that program follows your keyboard inputs in time intervals. I gave project link in above. As you can see there is an issue on GitHub page. If I need to explain in here detailed, so in the program I have an command line like:
SendKeys.Send("2");

This works in any kind of program. But when I try in any game. That doesn't work. Actually it works but weirdly. In game, when I hit enter to open text input area, it works. But otherwise doesn't work. How can I fix that?
There is also how software looks like.

By the way you need to open exe in Administrator mode. It works in any user mode on notepad, notepad++ or google chrome or even in visual studio. But if you want to test in any kind of game, you need to open exe in Administrator mode.

Dare2tri today named 22 members to its 2023 Elite and Development Teams, powered by Columbia Threadneedle Investments, Deloitte, and GoodSport. The roster includes 15 Elite and seven Development athletes who will represent Dare2tri in competition during the 2023 paratriathlon season.
"It's an exciting time for paratriathlon," said Dan Tun, Co-Founder and Program Director of Dare2tri. "We have 13 athletes returning to the team and 9 new athletes coming aboard for the first time. With more and more talented competitors entering the sport every year, we're thrilled that Dare2tri can support some of the very best."
Dare2tri team members will receive training support, funding, and coaching as they pursue their competitive paratriathlon goals.
Elite Team athletes represent Dare2tri on the national and international circuit, competing in USA Triathlon-sanctioned events as well as World Triathlon races around the globe. For many Elite athletes, the ultimate goal is to represent the United States in competition at the Paralympic games.

Q: Celtic font - eot, woff, ttf - webfont I have to say at once that I am no expert, so apologies for asking for your help as follows:

*

*I have been using "Celtic (Plain):001.001" font on a Wordpress website for several years without any problems.

*Now there is a problem - on inspecting the website there is an error telling me this:
"downloadable font: download failed (font-family: "Celtic (Plain):001.001" style:normal weight:400 stretch:100 src index:2): bad URI or cross-site access not allowed source: https://xxxxx/wp-content/themes/responsive-childtheme-master/fonts/Celtic.ttf"

*In my child theme's stylesheet I have this:
"@font-face {font-family:"Celtic (Plain):001.001";src:url("https://xxxx/wp-content/themes/responsive-childtheme-master/fonts/Celtic.eot?") format("eot"),url("https://xxxx/wp-content/themes/responsive-childtheme-master/fonts/Celtic.woff") format("woff"),url("https://xxxx//wp-content/themes/responsive-childtheme-master/fonts/Celtic.ttf") format("truetype"),url("https://xxxxx/wp-content/themes/responsive-childtheme-master/fonts/Celtic.svg#Celtic") format("svg");font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;}"

*In my fonts folder I have these fonts: Celtic.eot, Celtic.svg, Celtic.ttf, Celtic.woff.

*I have this error on one website. I also have another testing Wordpress website elsewhere and there is no problem with the font.

*So I am not sure if this is due to the way I installed the font or CORS policy scripting.
I saw a similar topic here eot, woff fonts - I assume this is not the same thing?
I sincerely hope you will be able to help. Thanks in advance

A: This was resolved by my host provider - there was a setting that was not configured on their panel for the CORS rule to work.


This article originally appeared in the November 2017 issue of CCO.
"I heartily endorse this event or product," says a monotone Krusty the Clown in a snippet of video used to advertise everything from cough syrup to atomic particle accelerators. Krusty's cut-and-paste approach to celebrity endorsement might be a long-running gag on The Simpsons, but the rise of influencer marketing in social media may mean the joke is getting just a little too close to reality.
Leaving aside the carelessness with which Disick carries out his sponsored activities – I mean, he had one job to do – don't let it escape your notice that the brand also scripted the post for him. I like to imagine those 12 unremarkable words were the result of a lengthy copywriting process of agency drafts and stakeholder approvals where no one – even Disick himself – noticed that he's supposedly preparing his morning protein shake at 4 in the afternoon. And, while Disick may have unwittingly disclosed the brand relationship, the intended text contains no such disclosure. The whole exercise is about as authentic and convincing as the president's hair.
It's not surprising that influencer marketing is a popular way for marketers to get their message out. When it comes to trusted sources of information, a word-of-mouth recommendation always ranks highly.
We're also more likely to trust those we admire; the famous, the noteworthy, or the highly successful people who represent qualities and values we might aspire to. It's why every new book comes with recommendations on the jacket from authors we've read; why sports fans dress like sports players and rock fans dress like rock stars.
These influencers don't always have to be mega-stars either, but the right influencer with a big enough audience within the right niche can have a massive impact.
Huzzah! If consumers are skeptical toward brands talking about themselves, let's fire up the social media machine and find ways to get more trusted and relatable individuals talking about us instead! Let's take the reasons they don't trust our own marketing – too scripted and rehearsed, too self-serving and out of touch, too fake – and carry them over into the word-of-mouth space until we sap these trusted individuals of any credibility as well!
OK, I'm sure that last bit isn't what marketers intend when designing their influencer strategies, but that will be the result if they continue the way they're going.
The rise in social influencer marketing has consumers casting a wary eye on celebrity posts that happen to contain a brand name. Is the Disneyland vacation photo Heidi Klum posted on Instagram a paid promotion? (We don't think so.) But when Dunkin' Donuts is a sponsor of America's Got Talent, the photos of Klum with Dunkin' Donuts-brand drinks are intentional (no #ad label in sight).
When is a social media post an ad?
Some social media influencers, particularly on Instagram, command highly active audiences numbering in the millions. No wonder some brands are prepared to fork out tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single product friendly social media endorsement. And some are eager to make these paid endorsements appear as naturally occurring word-of-mouth recommendations … anything but a far less trusted advertisement.
Having had a few conversations over the years with marketers who use similar tactics, their defense is usually that the audience isn't stupid – that it's easy to detect paid influencer campaigns – so it's all cool, really, and stop trying to overthink it.
When George Clooney visits another stunningly luxurious location and makes a big scene about opting for the pod coffee, we know it's a paid fiction because we're in the ad break waiting for the return of our regularly scheduled program. We don't even need to believe Clooney drinks pod coffee at home for the associations of luxury and charm to infuse our perceptions of the brand. It's a statement, not necessarily a literal truth. It's certainly not word of mouth.
So far, so marketing 101.
However, when Margot Robbie posted photos to Instagram of herself in stylish Wellingtons at the Glastonbury Festival (hashtag brand name), her posts lacked the context of a commercial break. While Robbie originally included the hashtag #ad in the post, some eagle-eyed fans spotted that it was deleted soon after and replaced with #glasto. Understandably, her followers were confused; was the original hashtag a mistake or was this really a paid post trying not to be?
Was it an ad or wasn't it? People really wanted to know as this would change how they viewed the content: word of mouth or paid promotion? And the fact that a clear disclosure matters to them proves they do consider one more valuable and trustworthy than the other, which is exactly why some marketers would rather smudge over the whole disclosure thing.
Of course the audience cares about disclosure. If I began namedropping various social media and content marketing tools into my columns and tweets, you'd want to know if I genuinely used the products or if I was just paid to pretend I did. Right? Sorta crucial information when assessing the validity of a recommendation.
Yet, a recent study found that a staggering 93% of sponsored content posted by A-list influencers on Instagram did not adequately disclose the paid brand relationship.
Can marketing influencers get in legal trouble?
In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission has begun cracking down on inadequately disclosed influencer marketing on social media – particularly Instagram. Earlier this year, the FTC sent warning letters to more than 90 influencers and marketers.
There really is no excuse for ignorance either. Did anyone really think there wouldn't be rules about this stuff? The FTC series of endorsement guides includes an extremely helpful section on social media. Naturally, if you live outside of the United States you should check if there are any local guidelines or restrictions. But if you follow the FTC guide, you're unlikely to go too far wrong.
It's up to you whether you tag posts with #sponsored or #promotion or something equally unambiguous; however, in most cases, three characters are probably all you need: #ad.
But don't think you can hide the disclosure in a forest of other hashtags and still be compliant. The same goes when the disclosure is hidden behind a link or "more" button, as can happen on Instagram or Facebook. Everyone who sees the post – even a truncated version – should see the disclosure, not just those who click.
This is where some content marketers could come unstuck. Your native advertising or sponsored article might carry a clear disclosure but if the related social media doesn't you could still be in breach. Anyway, the FTC also has a detailed guide to native advertising that spells out a number of scenarios and how disclosures should be handled.
Sadly, I suspect some of those marketers who most need to understand and abide by these rules are the ones most likely to ignore them. Clearly disclosing influencer posts as paid sponsorships or ads sort of undermines why they're doing this in the first place.
But instead of tapping into the greater trust created by word of mouth, their approach is actually eroding trust in social media even further.

At GEYC we believe that the quality of a project should also be visible in the partners' contributions. Each one can add value by efficiently communicating with the organizers and other partners, choosing the most relevant participants, increasing visibility, disseminating and multiplying the results through local activities and generating follow-up events. This year, we were partners along with other 6 NGOs from 6 countries in Balkans without hate Project. And we've put into practice what we preach.
Balkan without hate Project is organized by 35mm NGO and co-financed by the European Commission through Erasmus+ Program, Key Action 2 - Capacity building in the field of youth. The main aim of this project is to explore how young people and youth work can benefit from creation of genuine youth documentaries on what kind of (multicultural) societies we want to live in.
to contribute to decrease of use of hate speech and violence among youth that is based on nationality.
GEYC initiated the 2nd edition of the Fellowship for Human Rights, EQUALIS Campaign, Hate Speech Survey in Europe - HaSpe and the 2nd edition of the European Digital Youth Summit - EDYS 2016 in the frame of the dissemination activities of Balkans without hate Project.
1. Fellowship for Human Rights (2nd edition) is an innovative program of 5 months, which allows 4 fellows (Alexandru Cerchezeanu, Loredana Dinu, Andrei Stupu and Andreea Udrea) to get actively involved in relevant activities, combining training, research and the creation of new opportunities of promoting Human Rights among youths, educators, policy makers and other stakeholders.
2. EQUALIS Campaign aims to involve teachers and students from Romania in implementing creative activities and using digital tools, in order to combat bullying in schools and raise awareness on no hate speech movement.
Results: 70 events all over Romania, 50 educational institutions involved.
Activities developed at local level ranged from workshops to flashmobs, from expressing ideas through handmade art to debates, from marches to role plays.
3. Hate Speech Survey in Europe - HaSpe is a European research, developed together with our 6 partners, which aims to identify youngsters' perception about hate speech, with a particular focus on hate speech online, and how they perceive their role in this regard. Youths can fill in the survey, available in three versions, English, Romanian and Montenegrin, by November 15, 2016.
4. European Digital Youth Summit - EDYS 2nd edition, organized on November 10th, in Bucharest, under the High Patronage of the European Parliament and the Patronage of the Slovak Presidency at the Council of EU. The event focused on no hate speech and youth participation, bringing together over 80 youngsters, educators, youth workers and policy makers from 5 countries.
Supported by: European Parliament Information Office in Romania, No hate speech movement, UNITED, PRISMA European Network and "Support Moldova" programme.
* At GEYC we believe that all partners should focus on quality. Find out more about the European Quality in Youth Projects Standard.


i'm sure there's a rational explanation for this...the AnyplaceTV app on my iPad shows me the guide and i can click to watch any show currently on air - i.e. live as if i was watching on TV. The browser based AnyplaceTV doesn't have that at all. In other words, i can't use my computer to watch what i would watch on TV. I hope this makes sense and thanks for any advice.
There's an explanation, all right - you get to decide how rational it is.
The iPad app you're talking about is called "Anyplace TV Home Edition" - which gives you the guide, manage your PVR, use your tablet as a remote and the ability to stream certain channels live.
The browser site is simply "Anyplace TV" - which is more like Rogers On Demand...allowing you to purchase movies or watch other on demand content.
In order to view the guide in your browser, you have to log in to MyRogers on the Rogers website. Then, you select Products and Services-TV and either "View My Guide" or "Manage my Recordings". This gives you similar functionality to the Home Edition app, without the live streaming option.

Q: Diminuir um base64 Como diminuir um tamanho de um base64 sem diminuir tanto a qualidade?Estou tento um problema nesse codigo,porque está muito grande e não está salvando no banco. Como diminuir ?
    Bitmap thumbnail = (Bitmap) data.getExtras().get("data");
    ByteArrayOutputStream bytes = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
    thumbnail.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);
    byte[] b = bytes.toByteArray();
    String encodedfile = Base64.encodeToString(b, Base64.DEFAULT);

    base64p = encodedfile;

A: Tecnicamente na linha
thumbnail.compress(Bitmap.CompressFormat.JPEG, 100, bytes);

você não está tratando nada na imagem, somente trocando o formato dela.
O que você tem que fazer é, antes de fazer a conversão, é tratar a imagem.
Usando como exemplo a biblioteca Compressor (https://github.com/zetbaitsu/Compressor), você pode tratar a imagem antes de converter para Base64 (sendo que o tratamento TEM que ser feito na imagem antes da conversão).
Mas conforme o @Marquezani comentou na sua pergunta, existe a real necessidade de gravar a base64, n poderia por exemplo gravar os bytes da imagem ou a imagem em si num BLOB?

Orchestra Of St. Luke's Presents Free Concerts In All Five Boroughs March 23-April 7 [featuring Composer Fellows from the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music]
Orchestra of St. Luke's (OSL) focuses its 2019 Music in Color Free Community Concerts series (March 23, 24, 28, April 4, April 7) and Free School Concerts programs on the music of Gabriela Lena Frank, an American composer of Peruvian, Chinese, and Lithuanian Jewish descent. Now entering its third year, Music in Color is OSL's annual initiative highlighting the works and lives of classical composers of color. The program was created to engage new audiences with classical music through dynamic, multidisciplinary concerts designed to be as entertaining as they are educational.
Commissioned to write a piece for OSL in 2015, California-based composer Gabriela Lena Frank returns to help curate these programs, which include selections of her works, as well as a selection from a string quartet by Chou Wen-chung, one of Frank's inspirations. In addition, for the five Community Concerts, OSL will premiere five new works composed by Fellows of the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music and co-commissioned by OSL. The featured composers Anjna Swaminathan (March 23, Flushing Town Hall, Queens); Matthew Evan Taylor (March 24, RestorationART, Brooklyn); Marco-Adrián Ramos (March 28, Hostos Center for the Arts and Culture, Bronx); Iman Habibi (April 4, Harlem School of the Arts, Manhattan); and Christine Delphine Hedden (April 7, Snug Harbor Cultural Center, Staten Island) will be present for their programs. Frank herself performs on the piano at the Free School Concerts, March 19-21, 2019, alongside Orchestra of St. Luke's conducted by Edwin Outwater. A narration written and performed by actor and playwright Kirya Traber will reflect on Frank's biography and musical influences, and highlight Frank's belief in the power of music as a tool for civic engagement. Members of the St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble perform for the Free Community Concerts. All Music in Color Free Community Concerts are festival partner events as part of Carnegie Hall's 2018-2019 festival, Migrations: The Making of America.
Visit Orchestra of St. Luke's website, for more information about Music in Color 2019.
OSL's Free Community Concert series is made possible with support from the National Endowment for the Arts.
WQXR is the official media partner for the Music in Color Free Community Concerts.
About Gabriela Lena Frank
Identity is at the center of composer-pianist Gabriela Lena Frank's music. Born in 1972 in Berkeley, California to a mother of mixed Peruvian-Chinese ancestry and a father of Lithuanian-Jewish descent, Frank explores her multicultural heritage through her compositions. Inspired by the works of Bela Bartók and Alberto Ginastera, Frank has traveled extensively throughout South America and her pieces incorporate Latin American folklore, poetry, mythology, and native musical styles into a western classical framework that is uniquely her own. Frank's music has been commissioned and performed by Orchestra of St. Luke's (2015), Kronos Quartet, pipa virtuoso Wu Man, Carnegie Hall, and the San Francisco Symphony, among others. She is a Latin Grammy-winner and a Grammy nominee as both a composer and pianist. Strongly committed to nurturing emerging composers of all ages and backgrounds, Frank established the Gabriela Lena Frank Creative Academy of Music in 2017, as a non-profit training institution that offers short-term retreats at her two farms in Mendocino County, CA. Gabriela Lena Frank's music is published exclusively by G. Schirmer, Inc.
About Kirya Traber
Collaborating with Frank is playwright, performer, and cultural worker Kirya Traber. A co-host of the PBS podcast series, First Person, Traber is lead Community Artist in Residence with Lincoln Center Education and a former faculty member of the New School for Social Research. Her poetry and writing have been published in several anthologies.

About Orchestra of St. Luke's
Orchestra of St. Luke's (OSL) is one of America's most versatile and distinguished orchestras. Now in its 44th season, the Orchestra performs a variety of musical genres at New York City's major concert venues and has collaborated with artists ranging from Renée Fleming and Joshua Bell to Bono and Metallica. In September 2018 Bernard Labadie, a world-renowned conductor of Baroque and Classical repertoire, joined OSL as Principal Conductor, continuing the Orchestra's tradition of working with champions of historical performance practice. In 2019, OSL launches two major initiatives: the inaugural OSL Bach Festival in New York City and the opening of the DeGaetano Composition Institute. The three-week Bach Festival will feature 15 performances, including orchestral concerts conducted by Bernard Labadie, keyboard concerts, and the Paul Taylor Dance Company performing Paul Taylor's complete Bach dances. OSL's signature programming includes a subscription series presented by Carnegie Hall; an annual summer residency at Caramoor Center for Music and the Arts; and a chamber music series at The Morgan Library & Museum, Brooklyn Museum, and Merkin Hall. The Orchestra has participated in 118 recordings, four of which have won Grammy Awards, has commissioned more than 50 new works, and has given more than 175 world, U.S., and New York City premieres.
OSL's Education & Community Engagement programs reach over 11,000 New York City public school students each year. Youth Orchestra of St. Luke's (YOSL) provides free instrumental coaching for public school children, while the Chamber Music Mentorship Program provides professional development opportunities and workshops for pre-professional musicians. OSL built and operates The DiMenna Center for Classical Music in Hell's Kitchen. New York City's only rehearsal, recording, education, and performance space expressly dedicated to classical music, The DiMenna Center serves over 500 ensembles and over 30,000 musicians annually.
About St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble
St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble was founded in 1974 when a group of virtuoso musicians began performing chamber music concerts at Greenwich Village's Church of St. Luke in the Fields. Today, the 24 Ensemble musicians make up the artistic core of Orchestra of St. Luke's. Every season, OSL features the Ensemble in its Chamber Music Series, which explores beloved chamber works and brings attention to lesser-known or rarely-performed works through three distinct programs performed at The Morgan Library & Museum, Brooklyn Museum, and Merkin Hall. Throughout the season, musicians of the St. Luke's Chamber Ensemble perform on almost every program presented by OSL.

Achievements are a great source of motivation in life, and sports are no exception. When a personal goal is achieved, we can't help it but feel good as well as motivated to keep bursting through many more. Whether it's running a few extra miles, throwing a couple more pounds on that bar, completing an achievement produces an awesome sensation; we can't get enough of that "hell yeah!" feeling when hard work pays off.
Ida Keeling is the current holder of the world record in the 100 meter dash of the senior category. The twist?She obtained this title during the 2016 Penn Relay in Philadelphia, being 100 years old, after killing 100 meters in 1:17. She didn't stop there though, Keeling decided to celebrate by performing a set of push-ups.
One would normally think performing that feat at such an age would require a lifetime of preparation, but Ida had never practiced running before the age of 67. How's that for senior running?
Chances are that every gym fanatic has heard of the almighty Ronnie Coleman before. For those who haven't, let us warn you that leg day will never be the same after knowing this.
He's one of the most outstanding bodybuilders–and the current holder of the world record for the heaviest leg press at a ridiculous 2300 pounds. Oh, and did we forget to mention that he performed 8 continuous repetitions with that weight?
Turns out Coleman wasn't even aware at the moment of himself setting a new world record. As shared through his social media, he was aiming to burst his personal record.
During the Super Bowl XXXI, the Patriots got the upper hand on the Packers in the third quarter with a devastating touchdown. Desmond Howard, a Packers' kick return specialist, decided to return the favor with a 99 yard return.
The Patriots grossly underestimated Howard's running skills, which at the end of the third quarter had hit them just about as hard as an armored tank. Desmond took advantage of this and he gave them the "V" for Vendetta.
Many things can happen in a tennis court. When we say many things, we include the possibility of an 11 hour long game. John Isner and Nicolas Mahut concreted what is the longest tennis match ever, up to the present (and probably many more years).
This one hell of a match was an epic back and forth session. Despite tennis being a sport based on skill, the chances of a match lasting 11 hours are extremely low. Sure, it can happen; just like a person could flip a coin 50 times with the same result–just don't hold your breath.
I think that somewhere in the audience, there was a poor soul who was told to accompany someone to a "quick tennis game".
Dedication is one thing, and then you have Cal Ripken Jr., current (and indefinite) holder of the record for most consecutive games ever played in Major League Baseball. Since the moment Ripken Jr. entered MLB, he didn't miss a single game for 17 years. Not bad for a starting job, right?
Well, turns out he managed to rack up 2632 consecutive baseball games. But hey, we're not talking about that one bench kid who always assists in hopes of getting a chance to get struck out.
Cal Ripken Jr. was selected 19 times as an All-Star player. Let's be realistic, when will we ever get the chance of seeing someone that good, for that long? Baseball fans consider Ripken Jr. to be one of those weird asteroids that crosses Earth once every 200 years.

Kim Jong-Un berates North Korean officials for 'crucial' virus lapse
This story is from June 30, 2021

SEOUL: North Korean leader Kim Jong Un berated top officials for failures in the coronavirus prevention that caused a "great crisis,'' using strong language, that raised the specter of a mass outbreak in a country that would be scarcely able to handle it.
The state media report on Wednesday did not specify what "crucial'' lapse had prompted Kim to call the Politburo meeting of the ruling Workers' Party, but experts said North Korea could be wrestling with a significant setback in it's pandemic fight.
So far, North Korea has claimed to have had no coronavirus infections, despite testing thousands of people and sharing a porous border with China. Experts widely doubt the claim and are concerned about any potential outbreak, given the country's poor health infrastructure.
At the Politburo meeting, Kim criticized the senior officials for supposed incompetence, irresponsibility and passiveness in planning and executing anti-virus measures amid the lengthening pandemic, the North's official Korean Central News Agency said.
Kim said "senior officials in charge of important state affairs neglected the implementation of the important decisions of the party on taking organizational, institutional, material, scientific and technological measures as required by the prolonged state emergency epidemic prevention campaign,'' according to KCNA. This "caused a crucial case of creating a great crisis in ensuring the security of the state and safety of the people and entailed grave consequences.''
The report also said that the party recalled an unspecified member of the Politburo's powerful Presidium, which consists of Kim and four other top officials.
The reference indicated Kim may replace his Cabinet Premier Kim Tok Hun, who would be held responsible for failures in the government's anti-epidemic work, said Hong Min, a senior analyst at Seoul's Korea Institute for National Unification.
"There is no possibility that North Korea will ever admit to an infection, even if there were mass transmissions, the North will definitely not reveal such developments and will continue to push forward an anti-virus campaign it has claimed to be the greatest,'' Hong said.
"But it's also clear that something significant happened and it was big enough to warrant a reprimanding of senior officials. This could mean mass infections or some sort of situation where a lot of people were put at direct risk of infections.''
Cheong Seong-Chang, an analyst at South Korea's private Sejong Institute, expressed a similar view, saying North Korea is potentially dealing with huge virus-related problems in border towns near China, such as Sinuiju or Hyesan. He said that the Presidium member Kim Jong Un sacked, could possibly be Jo Yong Won, a secretary of the Workers' Party's central committee who had been seen as a fast-rising figure in the leadership circle.
But other experts said Kim could be responding to illicit border trade that defied his lockdown measures or setting the stage for a political shakeup or purge to solidify his grip on power as he navigates perhaps the toughest time of his nine-year rule.
South Korea's unification ministry, which deals with inter-Korean affairs, said it had no immediate information to share about the North Korean report and that it wouldn't make prejudgments about the country's virus situation.
Wang Wenbin, spokesperson of China's Foreign Ministry, raised the possibility of helping North Korea in the event of a major outbreak of Covid-19.
"China and the DPRK have a long tradition of helping each other when they encounter difficulties,'' Wang said, referring to North Korea by it's official name, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
"If necessary, China will actively consider providing assistance to the DPRK.''
From the start of the pandemic, North Korea described it's antivirus efforts as a "matter of national existence,'' banned tourists, jetted out diplomats and severely curtailed cross-border traffic and trade. The lockdown has further strained an economy already battered by decades of mismanagement and crippling US-led sanctions over the country's nuclear weapons program.
Kim, during a political conference earlier this month, called for officials to brace for prolonged Covid-19 restrictions, indicating that the country isn't ready to open its borders despite its economic woes.
North Korea has told the World Health Organization that it has not found a single coronavirus infection after testing more than 30,000 people, including many described as having fevers or respiratory symptoms.
North Korea's extended border controls come amid uncertainties over the country's vaccination prospects. COVAX, the UN-backed program to ship Covid-19 vaccines worldwide, said in February that North Korea could receive 1.9 million doses in the first half of the year, but the plans have been delayed due to global shortages.

I haven't posted for a while in my Recipe and Rambling Series so I thought it might be about time to regale you with my fairly non fabulous (but entirely adequate) cooking skills.
Before I get to the recipe though (and since I'm on the subject of cooking), let me tell you about a brand new website which is launching today. Its creators are part of a blogging community I'm connected with called Killer Tribe. These two guys have named their site Cook Like Men and it has wonderfully simple and fun recipes that any guy in your life could make.
And the fact that the recipes are so simple also make the site a great resource for kids and teens who are just learning to cook, not to mention providing good ideas for us ladies who don't always feel like laboring over a twenty-seven step gourmet meal every evening. The site could even help out newlyweds who might be just learning to cook. I'm just full of helpful applications for this great site!
So stop by and check them out and be a part of launching a terrifically helpful idea.
On Sundays after church, I am all about the quickest, easiest, cheapest way to get a meal on the table before falling into bed for a blissful Sunday afternoon snooze.
On a lot of Sundays, it's tuna burgers to the rescue. This is a recipe my mom made a lot when I was growing up although I use the term "recipe" loosely since I don't know that I've ever seen my mom look at a recipe card or open a cookbook. Since she had six kids in ten years, she didn't have a lot of extra time for cookbook gazing; she'd just walk into the kitchen, open a cupboard, open the fridge, turn on the stove, fire up the oven, clatter a few pans, stir a few ingredients in a bowl and the next thing we knew, there would be a delicious, economical meal for eight on the table. An amazing woman, my mom.
At any rate (I've already started to ramble, haven't I?), I can have the following meal on the table in 20-25 minutes which makes me a happy woman, indeed. Because a fast Sunday lunch means a slow Sunday nap. And I love me a good, slow nap.
So. Let's get started, shall we?
This is a can of tuna.
This is a skillet, heating over medium/high heat with 2 T. of oil spread across its skillet-y self.
Are you with me so far? Am I going too fast?
Crack two eggs. Dump them into a tuna-containing bowl.
Add a variety of seasonings which are entirely up to you. I put in 1/2 t. of Lawrys seasoned salt, 5 or 6 shakes of coarse ground pepper and about a teaspoon of onion powder. (You could add minced onion instead of the powder if you were so inclined.) I also add parsley which is more for looks than flavor but in the world of the humble (and woefully bland looking) tuna patty, appearance-enhancing techniques are rather imperative.
Step over the dog who is always helpfully present when any sort of cooking is in progress.
Take 6 or 7 (or even 8 if you're feeling adventurous) saltines and mush them up in your hands.
Dump the mushed crackers into the tuna/seasoning mixture.
And of course, I add parsley for color because . . . well . . . I just can't help myself.
Also note that our dinner bell desperately needs to be polished but the chances of it being polished within the next ten years? Zilch.
At any rate, I firmly believe that at some point, every family needs to buy a dinner bell. They're very cool. And also loud.
When said daughter arrives in the kitchen, ask her to set the table while you attend to the final touches.
Those final touches are adding to the patties a bit of cheese (for color) and/or paprika or parsley flakes.
I am psychologically incapable of putting anything on the table without adding some sort of color to it. I suppose I'm an Avon consultant of sorts for food products. And in case you're wondering, the reason there are two different kinds of cheese garnishes on the patties is because I was trying to helpfully display different ways of enhancing the food. And adding color. You know. Like a good Avon (food) consultant would do.
Next? Call any missing and/or far flung family members to the table using your voice or the dinner bell, depending on just how far flung they are.
After you are done eating, go lie down. Take a nap. And be ye glad.
Combine all ingredients. Form into four patties. Put on pre-heated, oiled skillet and cook for 5 minutes. Turn over and cook 3-4 more minutes or until browned. Garnish as desired. Can serve with tartar sauce or salsa.
I think you forgot "eggs" in the short, recipe version on the bottom. :) Looks yummy!
Anon, thanks for noticing the omission of the eggs. I just fixed it.
Though I've an aversion to warm tuna (except for a fresh tuna steak), I think this one I'll have to try out! Thanks!

# Training residue and pocket score transformers

As part of prediction output, P2Rank generates raw scores from the interval [0,∞) for all pockets and residues.
The raw score is a value in `score` column in `*_pockets.csv` and `*_residues.csv`.
Additionally, those files contain columns `probability` and `zscore` which contain raw scores transformed by pre-trained transformers.

* `probability`: raw score [0,∞) ->  [0,1]
* `zscore`: raw score [0,∞) -> (-∞,∞)

These transformers are model/parametrization dependent and need to be trained/calibrated for each model on some calibration dataset.
HOLO4K was used for this purpose for the default P2Rank pocket prediction model.

To train transformers for a new model defined in `newmodel.groovy` execute the following command:
~~~sh
./prank.sh eval-predict -c newmodel.groovy ../p2rank-datasets/holo4k.ds \
    -visualizations 0 \
    -train_score_transformers '(ProbabilityScoreTransformer,ZscoreTpTransformer)' \
    -train_score_transformers_for_residues 1
~~~
Output: Parameters of the trained transformers will be stored in `score` and `residue-score` subdirectories of the output directory.

After transformers are trained, they should be adequately renamed to reflect an association with the new model and configured in `newmodel.groovy`:
~~~groovy
/**
 * Path to a JSON file that contains parameters of a transformer from raw score to "z-score calculated from the distribution of true pockets" (pocket.auxInfo.zScoreTP).
 * Use path relative to distro/models/score.
 */
zscoretp_transformer = "newmodel_zscoretp.json"

/**
 * Path to a JSON file that contains parameters of a transformer from raw score to "probability that pocket with a given score is true pocket" (pocket.auxInfo.probaTP).
 * Use path relative to distro/models/score.
 */
probatp_transformer = "newmodel_probatp.json"

/**
 * Path to a JSON file that contains parameters of a transformer from raw score to "z-score calculated from the distribution of all residue scores".
 * Use path relative to distro/models/score.
 */
zscoretp_res_transformer = "residue/newmodel_zscore.json"

/**
 * Path to a JSON file that contains parameters of a transformer from raw score to "probability that residue with a given score is true (binding) residue".
 * Use path relative to distro/models/score.
 */
probatp_res_transformer = "residue/newmodel_proba.json"

Here's what the Mueller report tells us about Russian interference and Donald Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election.
Biden backed the Iraq War, is friendly with Wall Street, supported mass incarceration, and has twice run for president unsuccessfully.
Stone knew WikiLeaks was spreading rumors about Clinton's health, according to prosecutors.
Michael Cohen, former personal attorney to President Donald Trump, once also served as personal attorney to former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
The outgoing defense secretary had a good rapport with the 2016 Democratic nominee. Not so much with the president he ultimately worked for.

Analytics, Automated & MarTech | Brand Metrics | Data-driven | Media & Entertainment | Paid Search | Retail & E-Commerce | Search Engine Optimization | Social Media | Sports
Increased consumer interest in website categories including home improvement, baseball and theme parks indicated that consumers were preparing for the arrival of spring in March 2010, according to Compete.
Every spring, there is typically a spike in home improvement-related traffic online. March 2010 followed this trend. Home improvement sites Bedbathandbeyond.com (5,058,487 unique visitors), lowes.com (10,342,666 unique visitors) and homedepot.com (12,792,326 unique visitors) were all among the month's top moving sites, with month-over-month increases of 19%, 14.5% and 11%, respectively.
Web Users Ready to Play Ball
Compete's "Baseball" category was among the month's top movers with 7,513,832 unique visitors, a 43.7% increase from February 2010. Mlb.com led this category with a total of 6,786.134 unique visitors, earning the site the number three spot on Compete's list of the month's top-moving sites.
The greatest rivalry in baseball, Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees, showed no signs of cooling off in March 2010. The Sox's online home, boston.redsox.mlb.com, was the highest trafficked Major League Baseball team site for the month with a total of 638,257 unique visitors, closely followed by newyork.yankees.mlb.com with 626,636 unique visitors.
Midwestern baseball fans were responsible for the most dramatic traffic increase at the MLB.com subdomain level, however. As the Minnesota Twins prepared to open the season in their new stadium, traffic to minnesota.twins.mlb.com soared to 348,975 unique visitors, representing a 73.9% month-over-month increase and a 70.78% uptick from March 2009. Chicago.cubs.mlb.com (494,882 unique visitors), philadelphia.phillies.mlb.com (387,972 unique visitors) and losangeles.dodgers.mlb.com (356,701 unique visitors) all also experienced strong month-over-month gains.
Warm Weather Means Travel
Two categories, "Theme Parks" and "Vacation Packagers," showed strong month-over-month growth.

Auto, Political Sites Gain Visitors
Auto manufacturer and political information sites were the top-growing US online site categories during March 2010, according to comScore Media Metrix, which uses different metrics than Compete. Auto manufacturers ranked as the top-gaining US site category in March 2010, growing 23% from about 20.5 million to 30.3 million visitors, as potential buyers researched vehicle options online.
The US audience for political sites grew 18% in March 2010, from 17.4 million to 20.5 million visitors as Americans sought the latest news and analysis on the political landscape, including the hotly debated healthcare reform bill. PoliticsDaily.com attracted 5.3 million unique visitors, while The Economist Group grew 35% to 2.7 million visitors and Politico.com grew 10% to 1.8 million visitors. The number of visitors to BarackObama.com more than doubled during the month, growing 133% to 1.5 million visitors.
