Regional development enhances competitiveness, helps to create an economic balance, develops industrial and commercial activity and supports employment. The objective is to increase regional competitiveness and reduce differences in development between and within regions, while promoting citizens' wellbeing and competences.
Regional development takes place increasingly often as multilateral collaboration between organisations and experts operating in the region. In practice, the preparation encompasses regional policies of industry, employment, education and innovation implemented in the form of long-term collaboration and measures, with emphasis on the renewal of the region. This renewal builds capacity for the improvement of capabilities to respond and adapt to the negative impacts of structural changes.
Future Regional Development theme focuses on different regional development organisations and their role in value creation and regional growth. The key question is how to stimulate regional development and contribute to regional competitiveness in the future.
As a response to recent policy development in EU, there is a growing recognition of the potential role of universities in local and regional development and innovation in the context of smart specialisation. This track invites research and case studies where Higher Education Institutes are rethinking their role and responsibilities, and engaging in learning and co-production of knowledge beyond the campus walls, resulting in discoveries with impact to society and regional development.
Global recession and structural economic shifts motivate governments and business leaders to look into universities to stimulate regional development. How will universities respond to the challenge? The entrepreneurial turn of the universities includes introducing entrepreneurial programmes, stimulating student-based initiatives, commercialising research and creating university spin-offs. There is no one best way or best practice to legislate an entrepreneurial university. We all have to find our way to success.
How do cities and regions best encourage growth and value creation in their area? Who should be involved in developing a whole region? What forms of collaboration have proved to be fruitful? What kind of policies are effective? How to use agile methods in systemic change? There are plenty of questions when it comes to understanding the role of public sector in value creation. Case studies, theories, and models for regional or city development are scrutinised in this session.
Smart specialisation is a strategic approach to economic development through targeted support to Research, Development and Innovation (RDI). It involves a process of developing a vision, identifying competitive advantage, setting strategic priorities and making use of smart policies to maximise the knowledge-based development potential of any region. This track invites research and case studies from regional development policy-makers and professionals developing such strategies as well as their partners from business, academia and the civil society.
This track invites presentations focusing on the changes, transitions and trajectories which are taking place in the modern working life. The presentations may cover these issues in broader sense and they may be based upon research and/or practical case studies.
Citizens and Urban Sustainability theme introduces key topics of sustainable and humanity urban development which enables to create a better living environment for citizens while preserving the life support systems of the planet. This theme provides a holistic approach to promote environmental sustainability and human wellbeing. It presents an overview of the digital innovations for smart urban living, the clean technologies and transfer processes as well as diverse methods for promoting wellbeing and social cohesion. Moreover, this theme includes case studies, methodologies and development results which have applied collaborative and user-driven living lab practices within the urban development.
Urban planning is a central tool for promoting better living environments in cities. Cities are facing new challenges such as the renewal of built environment and the transition of services as well as the integration of sustainability factors, such as urban climate, energy efficiency and green areas, into the planning process. Successful processes require also suitable project management and citizen participation to reach their targets. Digitalisation is adapted to facilitate effective, integrated urban planning and citizen participation. In this track, we call for innovative approaches and tools for sustainable urban planning.
Clean technologies includes all products, services, processes and technologies which promote the sustainable use of natural resources and reduce the environmental impacts. These can relate e.g. to material and energy efficiency, energy production and reduce of airborne emissions, clean water and waste water treatment as well as recycling activities and waste management. This track particularly invites case studies of transfer process and implementation of clean technologies.
We are living in the world, where digital information and the digitalisation is changing the word and our daily life rapidly. This trend seems to be speeding up all the time. Where ever we are or where ever we go, we find more and more possibilities to communicate, work and live our lives by using digital services. This track presents new trends and new views of digital development which will change our lives. This track invites research and case studies on the digital solutions, e.g. digitalisation of public services, that affect and chance our everyday lifes.
In wellbeing and social cohesion, the key factors are health, inclusion and empowerment. Wellbeing and social cohesion provide the basis for individual and community growth as well as the foundation for healthy regional growth, the promotion of entrepreneurship and the regeneration of organisations. Different smart solutions to promote and strengthen wellbeing and social cohesion are invited to this track.
This track invites presentations of practical case studies, methodologies and development results which have applied collaborative and user-driven living lab practices within the urban development. Especially cases where citizens have participated in creating the urban solutions are welcomed. Also cases where specific urban use context is studied are of interest.
The world is in anticipation of a fourth industrial revolution. This revolution is driven by giant leaps in digital technologies and promises to radically alter the face of industry in the coming decades. The uptake of industrial internet and internet of things in manufacturing create new value chains for the traditional industries. Innovations will underline the importance of digital and sustainable business solutions as key drivers for success. Can regional economies and innovation systems respond to this? If entire development and production processes become digital, will regions and cities remain the key spatial units, where knowledge is transferred, and competition to attract investments and talents takes place?
An entrepreneurial attitude is characterised by initiative, pro-activity, independence and innovation. In addition to innovative ideas and business networks, these are the competences that a start-up entrepreneur will need to succeed. Special focus is given on social enterprises and development of start-ups.
The right skills, a sharp focus, and a passion for learning and adaptation are a must for enterprises to succeed in the digital universe of tomorrow. The digital revolution will continue to grow at a rapid pace and flood already saturated business infrastructures. Digitalization can offer a company a chance to rethink all operations and to improve responsiveness to customer needs and demands. This track invites research and case studies on the impact of digitalization to traditional industries as well as new market opportunities and jobs created by digitalization.
Clean design combines clean tech and user-driven industrial design. It promotes technologies which use less material and natural resources during the manufacturing process. Material karma is about using surplus or recycled material and taking into account the whole lifecycle of the material. Clean design uses user-driven and cross-functional design processes. This track invites presentations of case studies, methodologies and development results which have applied clean design and user-driven practices within the urban development.
This track invites presentations of how enterprises can navigate critical decisions that face them in the effort of successfully commercialising an innovation in the marketplace. In addition, in this track cases of technology transfer from scientific research to commercialised products and services are called for.

Emerging Opportunities
Pet specialty retailers looking for product trends that will give them a leg up on the competition should pay close attention to several forces shaping the future of pet care.
By Lindsey Wojcik
For independent pet retailers, the ability to quickly identify and respond to emerging product trends has always provided an edge in competing against mass merchants and big-box retailers.
But while in the past, independent retailers could count on having some time to capitalize on these moneymaking trends before seeing them land on the shelves of their larger, less nimble competitors, now mass merchants are adapting to trends faster than ever. That makes it more important for independent retailers to stay as far ahead of the game as possible in anticipating the next big thing.
With this in mind, Pet Business examined a variety of emerging trends that, if handled correctly, will not only strengthen the position of independent retailers on the front lines of innovation in the market, but also deepen the bond between consumers and their pets. When considered collectively, these trends—many of which span across multiple product categories—indicate that the next generation of pet products will be more tailored than ever to meet specific pet care needs, and reflect the pet and its owner's individuality.
Pet food is one of the most prominent areas of the industry in which products are evolving to meet pets' specific needs and pet owners' individual sensibilities. For example, the industry has seen a surge in demand for natural and grain-free foods, as consumers become more accustomed to feeding themselves, and thus their animal companions, diets that they perceive to be healthier.
Retailers can expect these pet food segments to continue growing with the same momentum they have had over the last few years. According to GfK, a New York-based research company, natural dog and cat food sales in pet stores reached $3.3 billion between January and August 2014, accounting for 67 percent of pet food sales for these retailers' last year. And the category is expected to continue growing at a rate of seven percent annually.
Maria Lange, senior product manager at GfK, says the natural pet food category still has much untapped potential. She notes that while 72 percent of dog food sales are natural, the category still represents just 45 percent of cat food sales, leaving much room for growth.
While natural products account for a considerable share of the food market in pet stores, Dr. Christine Bessent, DVM, CEO of Hartland, Wis.-based Herbsmith Inc., points to gluten-free products as a major emerging trend. As humans have recognized the allergenic potential of gluten and have cut it out of their own diets, they are also transposing that dietary restriction onto their pets, she says.
"From my perspective as a holistic veterinarian, it is important that the animals are eating real food [that is] species appropriate," says Bessent. "Whether it's raw or lightly cooked, the fact that it is real food, geared for carnivores, is important—and that food is naturally gluten free. The demand for more gluten-free pet foods is another slant on the principle for biologically appropriate food for dogs."
Sales figures indicate that foods that are more biologically appropriate for pets are resonating with shoppers. Collectively, gluten free, freeze dried and refrigerated/frozen foods represented $566 million in sales during the first eight months of 2014—more than doubling the $243 million the categories earned just two years ago, according to GfK. While gluten-free sales accounted for the highest amount in dollars ($450 million in 2014), some industry experts say freeze-dried raw food, which totaled $45 million in sales last year, is the category to watch.
"We believe that freeze-dried raw food is a huge emerging trend because it allows pet parents to take advantage of the nutritional superiority of raw food in a convenient form that doesn't need to be frozen or defrosted," says Eric Emmenegger, senior brand manager at St. Louis-based Nature's Variety, which makes Instinct raw food and Prairie holistic food.
Nature's Variety's Instinct Raw Boost line of products, which includes food and treat formulas for cats and dogs, offers pet owners that convenience, says Emmenegger. The grain-free kibble is boosted with freeze-dried raw bites. "It's the perfect combination of convenience and nutrition to give pets vibrant health," he says.
Retailers that address and educate their customers about the convenience and nutritional excellence available in freeze-dried raw foods can expect a boon in the category. Michael DiTullio, president of Especially for Pets, a seven-store retail chain in Newton, Mass., has noticed that freeze-dried food has piqued customer's interest. In 2014, his stores experienced a 22 percent increase in freeze-dried sales, and that was on top of a 57 percent increase in 2013.
Selling Wellness
Not surprisingly, the trend toward nutrient-rich diets is reverberating in other segments of the industry beyond pet food. Consumers who see the benefits of advanced pet nutrition are also seeking products like vitamins, supplements and other health remedies to improve their animals' overall health. This includes taking more preventative measures to ensure their pets do not suffer from health issues in the future.
Millions of pet owners are already giving vitamins and supplements to their pets. According to data from the American Pet Products Association's (APPA) 2013-2014 National Pet Owners Survey, 14.7 million dog owners give their canines vitamins and supplements, and 3.6 million cat owners provide their felines with these health-boosting products. However, with a growing number of pet parents more focused on their animal's health, retailers can expect these numbers to escalate.
"The vitamin and supplement category has tremendous growth opportunity," says Ryan Holden Singer, founder of New York-based K-10+, which makes water-soluble pet supplements and other wellness products. "The further people become educated on the benefits and importance of proper health, and the more people continue to take those products for themselves, then the category will grow."
Pet owners who have already tapped into this diverse category are spurring a variety of trends that pet specialty retailers have seen in their stores over the past several years. Proven products like multi-vitamins, as well as supplements high in essential fatty acids, antioxidants, and glucosamine for joint health are top sellers in the market, and the increasingly knowledgeable consumers who shop the category are demanding quality.
"The educated consumer is forcing the industry to produce better products," Bessent says. "It used to be good enough that a supplement or food had glucosamine on the label. Now, the educated consumer knows that their animal needs to have a certain amount of glucosamine per day, and now the consumer is looking for the adequate amount to support their dog's health and wellness.
"The education of the average consumer is putting pressure on the industry to not just have a product with a lot of window dressing, but have a good product that fills the need for that pet."
Moving forward, cutting-edge science will help manufacturers produce higher-quality products to fill voids in the marketplace, according to Bessent. As in other segments, retailers should consider what is trending in the human market to glean what could be the next trend in the pet arena. This year, based on its success in the human market, experts predict that digestive aids will be an important emerging trend.
"Probiotics, prebiotics and digestive enzymes are just starting to take off," Bessent says. "Complete digestion support, with adequate levels of probiotics, the right types of prebiotics and digestive enzymes that are geared toward carnivores [will be] the biggest trend in 2015."
As pet food evolves, changing the nutritional profile for and increasing the life expectancies of companion animals, the vitamin and supplement segment will follow along. "Looking at the big picture, we'll be seeing an evolution of new supplements being developed that meet any deficiencies that may happen in the development of these new foods," Bessent says.
With pet owners taking a more proactive approach to their pets' health, retailers can expect them to look at products with more scrutiny. In recent years, recalls of pet food and treats made with questionable ingredients that posed potential health risks for animals have had a huge impact on consumer expectations for the products their pets interact with on a daily basis. Pet owners are demanding more transparency from companies in the how their products are being responsibly sourced and produced—and it is a trend that is impacting the entire industry; not just the consumable market.
"Customers are becoming more interested in where companies source raw materials," says Spencer Williams, president and owner of West Paw Design, a Bozeman, Mont., manufacturer of eco-friendly dog and cat toys and beds.
The demand for more transparency is especially prevalent in the Millennial generation, which is expected to eclipse the spending power of Baby Boomers by 2018, according to Nathan Richter, partner at Arlington, Va.-based market-research firm Wakefield Research. Richter notes that Millennials are more interested in pet product features like BPA-free, natural/organic and hypoallergenic products. "Millennials are interested in these product features, but they need to understand where to find products containing them," Ritcher says. "As this market grows, retail has a unique opportunity to attract Millennials by prominently featuring these products in their stores and marketing."
Retailers that do their due diligence will find a robust selection of suppliers that are responsibly sourcing and producing their products. For example, West Paw Design has been committed to working with responsible USA-based suppliers since it was founded in 1996. The company is also a third-party-certified B Corporation, which means it meets rigorous standards of social and environmental performance, accountability and transparency. "As a B Corporation, we have a responsibility to help solve social and environment problems," Williams says. "We see responsibly sourced products as one way to live our company values. As such, we have strong relationships with many of our family-owned manufacturers and have visited their mills to ensure their production standards align with our values."
Having strong relationships with suppliers is crucial for companies that aim to be more transparent with consumers. However, some manufacturers are taking the concept of transparency a step further. Take Nummy Tum Tum, which makes nutritious consumable pet products, for example. The Corvallis, Ore.-based manufacturer grows and processes all of the human-grade, USDA-organic ingredients that it uses in its products.
The industry is collectively responding to the consumer demand for more transparency and responsibly sourced and produced products. In 2013, eight pet product manufacturers formed the Pet Industry Sustainability Coalition (PISC), a non-profit group for manufacturers, distributors and retailers to collaboratively navigate advancement toward improved environmental performance in the industry. The group, which now has 95 members, provides tools and resources for its members to help implement change—and retailers would be wise to pay attention to this changing tide.
"There is a sea of change happening in manufacturing," Williams says. "With responsible sourcing and strict standards comes higher quality for consumers and [higher customer satisfaction]."
While pet owners are paying close attention to the sourcing and production of existing products in the industry, some actually want to get directly involved in the process by making customized products for their pet. Whether it is a tailored diet or personalized toys, apparel or accessories, the industry is seeing more demand for customized products.
"This new age is about finding out more about the consumer, what they want, what they desire and then cultivating the right plans for them," says Steven Blustein, CEO of Austin, Texas-based PrideBites, which offers custom pet products directly to consumers and retailers. "We believe that pet parents are going to enjoy more personalized plans—not only with [hard goods] but with consumables as well."
Nestlé Purina saw this was true when it began developing a new pet food brand. The company found that 70 percent of dog owners wanted a food to help support their dog's unique needs and preferences, which prompted the creation of Just Right by Purina, a customizable pet food.
"Part of this personalization trend is [that pet owners] want to have more say in what goes into their pets' bowls," says Brian Lester, marketing director for Just Right. "The hyper personalization to get something that is not just right for a dog's breed size or their breed, but that is absolutely right for the individual dog is very appealing to pet owners."
To create a custom food, Purina uses a dog's individual information—like age, activity level, breed, body condition, and other nutritional needs like weight management or skin and coat support—to create a custom diet. Dog owners can also personalize the packaging by including a picture of their dog and adding the dog's name on the bag. The packaging has feeding instruction tailored specifically for each dog. Based on the feeding instructions, the company knows the "days of supply" and can offer auto replenishment, so the customer gets a new bag of food before they run out.
While Just Right is currently only available through Purina's website, as technology advances, retailers should expect manufacturers to integrate their hyper-tailored product experience into pet stores. PrideBites, for example, currently offers customized products directly to consumers from its website. However, Blustein says the company is hoping to change that model.
"The same technology we're using online needs to come in store to bring the consumer back to share the experience," he says. "If the retailers are hurting in the industry, in terms of getting people in the retail location, we have to be able to show technology and the emergence of the web to be a benefit to retailers and how we can have a joint approach, and that's where I see the future."
Just as technological advances are reshaping the relationship between manufacturers, retailers and consumers, they are also cultivating product innovation in the pet industry. Not only are manufacturers using technology to improve their manufacturing processes, more are integrating it into products, with the aim of improving how pet owners interact with their pets. As a result, the pet tech category has emerged.
"The more humans can use technology to make our lives easier so we can focus on the important things, the better," says Lorien Clemens, director of marketing at Issaquah, Wash.-based PetHub. "If a pet owner is given a product that makes caring for their pet easier, then that will excite them."
While pet technology is still somewhat in its infancy—the industry is just starting to see more digital-based products that utilize Bluetooth, GPS, QR codes and smartphone interfacing—retailers can expect the category to take off over the next few years. According to Global Unleashed: Dogs Go Mobile and Connect Online, a study conducted by market-research firm Think Global Qualitative on behalf of Knoxville, Tenn.-based pet manufacturer PetSafe, dog owners in the U.S. have expressed an interest in apps or products that allow owners to interact remotely and/or use their smartphones to create a game for them and their dog to play together. These pet owners also want better ways to contain or track their dog, such as GPS dog collars.
Of course, products like these are available in the pet care market. PetHub, for example, makes pet identification products that utilize GPS mapping and Bluetooth wireless services. Meanwhile, Minneapolis-based Anser Innovation offers PetChatz, a wall-mounted videophone that allows pet parents to have visual interaction with their pets from anywhere, anytime through their smartphones, tablets or computers.
"Everything is becoming connected our mobile devices, and I can control my world from my mobile device," says Lisa Lavin, founder and CEO of PetChatz. "That's an expectation that consumers have, and they have the same expectation regarding pet tech as well."
As the trends toward high-tech pet products and preventative healthcare for pets continue to grow, retailers can expect pet owners to inevitably seek out products that bring these two worlds together. For example, participants in Think Global Qualitative's study indicated that they would like to see more products on the market that have the ability to track a dog's health history/status, increase exercise and improve grooming. Clemens predicts products like these will shape the future of pet tech.
"Wearable tech is really just booming in the human space," she says. "Fitness based and health monitoring products are huge. I think wearable tech and preventive care that is related to health will drive the space for pets.
"Devices are getting smaller, more powerful and more interactive and connected," Clemens adds. "The more we find that our lives are connected to technology, and the more our pets become part of our lives, we will want to connect them to technology."

Learn how to write a screenplay through detailed analysis of film.
Before they come to America and take the world by storm in 1964, they spend this incredibly long period of time as a house band in a strip club…playing eight hour sets, seven days a week, for months at a stretch.
~Malcolm Gladwell on The Beatles
I'm a fan of Malcolm Gladwell. In his book Outliers, he equates success, not necessarily to talent, but more to practice: 10,000 hours of practice to be exact. That's five years at a full-time job. If you polled today's top working screenwriters on the amount of hours they devoted to the craft before success came knocking, I bet you'd find similar numbers.
Nothing beats completing detailed, written analysis of film to truly understand the craft of screenwriting. You can read all the books, attend all the conferences and seminars, but until you get down to the nitty gritty, you're gonna stumble and fall. Read the scripts. Watch the movies. Break them down and find out what makes them tick. Most important, learn from the ones that energize your emotions and then dig into the stories you want to tell.

Meet the Mentor - Frode Aasheim
Meet Frode Aasheim
I joined the meeting industry and ICCA in 1998, then as a sales manager at Bergen Convention Bureau in Norway. My first ICCA congress was in Hong Kong, where I learned a lot through fellow colleagues, both experienced and new to the industry. In 2000 I became the director of Bergen Convention Bureau, and also had the privilege to chair the ICCA Scandinavian Chapter. After 15 years in Bergen I moved to Oslo, the capital of Norway, as the director of the national convention bureau - Norway Convention Bureau. The national bureau merged with the governmental body Innovation Norway/ visitNorway in 2018, where I now head all activities within meetings, conventions and events. 21 years after my first congress, I am still in the industry and are looking forward to another inspiring ICCA congress.
Why being a mentor? When I attended my first ICCA Congress in Hong Kong, my biggest advantage was that the director of Oslo Convention Bureau, Anne Wallin Rødven, had already taken me under her wings – and she knew literally everybody and everything and gave me a flying start! If I can assist others like Anne assisted me, it will be my privilege to share my knowledge and connections with First Time Attendees from all over the world.
Thank you to Frode for becoming an FTA mentor at the 58th ICCA Congress in Houston, U.S.A.! Are you interested in helping our First Time Attendees to settle in? Find out more about the programme or email Ksenija.p@iccaworld.org to find out how you can become a mentor.


For the first time in Israel, a systemic response will be given for supporting parents of young children in order to prevent the phenomenon of youth at risk in the future.
The pilot of this program commenced last week in Haifa, at the initiative of the CJP –the Boston Federation- Haifa-Boston Connection, in conjunction with Haifa Municipality, Ashalim (JDC), the National Program, and the Ministry of Health.
Prof. Carolyn Cohen, a member of the parents program in Boston came to launch the model in Haifa with her husband Prof. Alan Dershowitz.
The Haifa-Boston Connection will be investing close to $4.5M in this program over the next five years.
This innovative program – the first of its kind in Israel – focuses on parents and places the parents at the center. The objective of the program is to support parents of young childrenthrough offering programs which include instruction, advice, information, tools and parental skills, based on research studies that working with parents at the earliest stage possible will prevent risk occurring among children and will reduce the number of children/youth at risk.
To date, the focus and treatment of different programs existing in Israel have been on children and youth, and not on parents.
Another innovation is in relating to parents in a continuous fashion, starting at the age of pregnancy-until school aged children.
This ambitious program will run dozens of different programs that will focus on diverse responses and services. The services will concentrate on three main areas: the first is the parents; the second is the professionals to help them improve cooperation and trust in their work with parents; and the third is making information accessible to parents.
The partners in Israel have a professional basis working in Boston that represents a practical partner for the process to develop the model. One of the members on the committee in Boston is Prof. Carolyn Cohen – an expert in the field of dealing with risk among early childhood aged children. Carolyn came to Haifa together with her husband Prof. Alan Dershowitz. Carolyn will be taking an active part in Boston in the "Horim Bamercaz" Program and both came to launch the model in Haifa.
In one of the meetings held with CJP-Haifa-Boston Connection staff members, Prof. Dershowitz emphasized the importance of the young educated generation who will be leading Israeli society, while disseminating propaganda and professional representation to the entire world. He commended the activities of the Haifa-Boston Connection as a social leader impacting a change in the unique model of the Haifa-Boston Connection, while recognizing all those taking part in its many activities in Haifa and in Boston.
The day after launching the program, Dershowitz and Carolyn visited the Alliance School where a student exchange program between pupils from Haifa and Boston is taking place, and the Shiluvim Program, a multidimensional program that the CJP- Haifa-Boston Connection has led together with Haifa Municipality for the past six years in integrating the Ethiopian community into the City of Haifa.
CJP-Haifa-Boston Connection is actually the only organization in Israel that is placing the parents at the center and has succeeded in attracting additional organizations to the program (Haifa Municipality, JDC, the National Program, and the Ministry of Health). It is the JDC-Ashalim's intention to duplicate this program throughout the entire country.
1. The parenthood support program will instruct parents during pregnancy and immediately before and after birth, and will relate both to emotional and physical aspects, contrary to existing programs that focus solely on the physical aspect.

There are many organizational frameworks in the City of Haifa that deal with children and youth at risk. The topic is high in priority on the agenda of decision-makers today in the city. The National Program for Children and Youth at Risk (Schmid) is also active in the city, and we discovered that there is great potential in pooling resources to leverage the program on this subject.
Fifteen percent of children and youth in the City of Haifa (in all of its neighborhoods) are defined as children and youth at risk (Ministry of Social Affairs and Social Services, and the Social Services Department). Of this number, about 50% are from veteran families in the country, 30% from families of new immigrants, and 20% from the Arab sector.
The City of Haifa provides responses and many programs to treat children and youth at risk but most are aimed at working directly with the children and the youth.
Eighty-five percent of resources are targeted at working directly with the children themselves (data regarding the Kiryat Eliezer/Bat Galim neighborhood).
Only 13% of resources are allocated to integrated programs for parents and children.
"Belonging to family" is the main risk factor among children and youth at risk: 78% of all children at risk aged 0-18 years were found to have problems in this area.
Academic studies are providing a basis for the fact that parent instruction programs provided at early stages of child development represent an effective tool for preventing severe behavior problems, anti-social and criminal behavior (Iquero et al., 2009). In addition to serving as a tool to solve and prevent behavioral problems, parent instruction programs have additional advantages, such as: promoting academic achievements in studies, economic welfare and health (Farrington and Welsh, 2007; Reynolds et al., 2007).

Q: Google Sheet - Cell with tow formulas Good afternoon, I want to raise a problem that I have been having for a few weeks and I can not solve. In the first column you can see that I put a FIX message that I receive by e-mail, and what it does is to separate each tag in a column according to its meaning. Tags are always defined by a number, for example |1=RETAIL|.
All this process has been performed with the help of regular expressions: =REGEXEXEXTRACT(A2;"|1=(.+?)|").
The above expression separates each tag and also removes the | symbol.
Now, the next progress I want to achieve is that each cell also checks that the tag is within a range of possible values. For example, tag 21 could be 1,2,3 or A but not 4. First I tried to do it through conditionals like IF, but since it is a REGEXTRACT for each cell, it never checks that the value inside the cell is the corresponding number, but it checks that it is REGEXTRACT. That is, for the previous example, the IF would only return TRUE if the condition is REGEXEXEXTRACT(A2;"|21=(.+?)", but not when it is 1 or 2 or 3...
I have tried to design a custom formula with Apps Script, but I am very new to all this and I am very lost.
Here is the spreadsheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N9V9l62kDlaaejxxh6bngBXXiHWM0OcQ7kJO3a_5S8A/edit?usp=sharing
Thx you in advance.

A: Try
=REGEXEXTRACT(A2;"\|[123A^4]=(.+?)\|")

means 1 or 2 or 3 or A but not 4

JOINT REPRESENTATION of Aves One AG by HUTH DIETRICH HAHN, Hamburg, Germany, and MOLITOR Avocats à la Cour, Luxembourg, in the acquisition of 4,400 railway fright cars, doubling Aves' freight car portfolio from EUR 240 million to over EUR 500 million.
HUTH DIETRICH HAHN`s client Aves One AG, an investor in logistics assets, signed in August 2018 a purchase agreement for the acquisition of approximately 30% of NACCO Group's freight car fleet, up to now Europe's fourth largest private freight car rental company. The acquisition has been closed in October 2018.
On July 1, 2017, VTG Aktiengesellschaft, a publicly traded German stock corporation located in Hamburg, first announced its intention to acquire all shares in Paris-based CIT Rail Holdings (Europe) SAS, the owner of the Nacco Group, off the American CIT Group. The relevant antitrust authorities approved the acquisition at the end of March 2018, subject to the condition that approximately 30% of the freight car stock be sold to a third party. On October 1, 2018, a bidding consortium comprising railcar leasing firm Wascosa AG, Lucerne, Switzerland, and publicly traded Aves One AG, Hamburg, Germany, purchased those parts of the Nacco Group that needed to be sold to comply with conditions imposed by the German and Austrian antitrust authorities.
Thereby Aves One AG has doubled its own fleet to about 8,700 freight cars and rail tankers. At an average age of about 16 years, the fleet is very young by industry standards. Once the transaction is concluded, Wascosa, which is one of the tenth largest freight car rental companies in Europe, will take over the management of approximately 4,400 newly acquired freight cars and rail tankers and integrate them in their fleet.
HUTH DIETRICH HAHN's M&A team was led by Sebastian Kühl and Oliver Förster. MOLITOR'S Chan Park and Tim Mangold represented Aves One AG with regard to Luxembourg law subject matters.


Guacamole dips are made from well-ripened avocados. The birthplace of guacamole is Mexico.
Making homemade guacamole is quite simple and easy. All you need is some well-ripened avocados. Making the dip yourself comes with the added benefit of not having to buy products with added artificial colors, preservatives or other undesirable ingredients.
Guacamole is very open to improvisations and can be made a variety of ways, following the original recipe. In Mexican restaurants, the appetizer is served as a garnish to nachos and tortillas but also to simply spread on a slice of bread or as a dip for vegetables.
Here's how to make a guacamole dip following the traditional recipe. We're also offering you another 5 delicious versions of the Guacamole recipe.
You need just 3 ingredients for the original Mexican recipe. This is the main recipe that you can enrich with your favorite spices or the spices suggested below.
Ingredients: 4 avocados, 2 lemons/limes, a pinch of salt.
Preparation: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Peel the fruits, take the pulp out, dice it and use a fork to mash it into a sludge in a bowl, to obtain a puree. Grate a small part of the lime rinds, squeeze the juice out from the fruits. Add these to the avocado puree and stir. Season with salt. The ingredients simply have to mix together well and what you get is an excellent homemade guacamole dip.
With the original recipe serving as your foundation, you can also get a richer guacamole sauce by adding yoghurt, for example. To the well-ripened avocados, add yoghurt, 1 garlic clove, lemon juice, black pepper and cumin. Mix the ingredients to the desired consistency of the sauce. Use quantities of the spices based on your taste.
To make a Guacamole Sauce with Tomatoes, you need 2 avocados, 1 ripe tomato, 2 tbsp finely chopped onions, 1 garlic clove, lemon or lemon juice, salt and black pepper. After taking the avocados' pulp out, make a sludge using a fork and gradually add the rest of the ingredients to enrich the taste.
Another option is to enrich your guacamole sauce with red onions. You're going to need 2-3 ripe avocados, 1/2 chopped red onion, parsley, salt, 1 red pepper, 3 tbsp lemon juice. If you'd like a spicier sauce, you can add a pinch of chili.
Here's a guacamole dip for all who love a spicier taste. You're going to need 4 ripe avocados, 1/2 head red onion, 3 limes, salt and chili peppers (or powdered chili).
To make a Guacamole with Olives, you're going to need 2-3 soft and ripened avocados, 2 garlic cloves, the juice of 1 lemon, a little extra virgin olive oil, salt, a handful of black olives. Mash the garlic and olives, then add them to the already mashed avocados, pour in olive oil and lemon juice. You can also decorate it with whole olives.
With the proposed recipes above you can delight your entire family or shine in front of guests.

Nine Finger
Alain Platel, Benjamin Verdonck, Fumiyo Ikeda
Nine Finger, a joint production by performer Benjamin Verdonck, Rosas dancer Fumiyo Ikeda and director Alain Platel, is undoubtedly one of the most gripping theatrical events of 2007. It was based on the book Beasts of No Nation by Uzodinma Iweala, an American of Nigerian origin. Through the eyes of an African child soldier, the author examines the perversity of war.
Fumiyo Ikeda and Stijn Van Opstal are bringing this play back to the stage to tell this story again in a child-like poetic, but also brutally honest way. The underlying question remains: how can we relate to the horrors of the world from the perspective of art?

Q: How to initialize AngularJS component with DIV tag attribute? I would like to use just a custom attribute to instantiate component like this:
index.html

Rest of the code:
evaluation.paste.ts
export const evaluationPasteComponent: angular.IComponentOptions = {
  template: require('./evaluation.paste.html'),
};

evalutaion.paste.html

  paste component

index.ts
import * as angular from 'angular';
import { EvaluationController } from './evaluation.controller';
import { evaluationPasteComponent } from './evaluation.paste';
import { evaluationParseComponent } from './evaluation.parse';
import { evaluationSummaryComponent } from './evaluation.summary';

const evaluationComponent: angular.IComponentOptions = {
  template: require('./evaluation.html'),
  controller: EvaluationController,
  controllerAs: 'evaluation'
};

export const evaluationModule = 'evaluation';

angular.module(evaluationModule, [])
  .component('evaluationPaste', evaluationPasteComponent)
  .component('evaluationParse', evaluationParseComponent)
  .component('evaluationSummary', evaluationSummaryComponent)
  .component('evaluation', evaluationComponent);

When I do it like this, I don't see "paste component" text.
But if I do it with custom element it works.
<evaluation-paste ng-show="evaluation.step == 'paste'"></evaluation-paste>

But I need DIV.

A: According to this comparison table between directives and components, components have only the element restriction. You should use directive with restrict: 'A' (attribute) instead of component.

It was about time the UKHJ team got out of rainy old England and onto sunnier pastures. Though true British traditional irony, we were met with our own troubles! March in Spain isn't their hottest month, in fact it's just coming out of their short but surprisingly cold winters! Though it was just warm enough for us to shoot a spectacular all-outdoor movie! We picked some beautiful spots, some beautiful boys and made some scorching hot scenes, in spite of the temperature! We all stayed in a big house in extremely rural southern Spain. When I say rural, it was about 2.5hrs drive from the nearest airport, so a 5hr round trip every time someone needed picking up or dropping off! Logistically it was gruelling but the results speak for themselves. This behind the scenes feature shows how relaxed but strong in vision our directors Sam and JP are. We're very relaxed and easy to work with, being models ourselves, we're just one of the boys and never really feel like we ask the guys to do too much. However we know exactly what we need to make our guys look exceptional and the best they can be, We've always been model focussed, about time a porn studio was! Laughs, tumbles, spills, spurts and tones of personality, come behind the scenes with UKHotJocks, you'll feel like you're just one of the guys!

We've tested the top Evoques, the 187bhp SD4 turbodiesel and the 237bhp Si4, and we rate them highly. But most buyers will opt for a humbler turbodiesel, either the entry-level eD4 with front-wheel drive or the TD4.
This diesel makes 148bhp and, predictably, less torque than the 310lb ft that the SD4 offers. The eD4, tuned for CO2 as low as 129g/km, produces 280lb ft, while the TD4 ups that to 295lb ft which, together with the extra pair of driven wheels, brings CO2 up to 149g/km. That's for the six-speed manual; opting for the six-speed Aisin-Warner auto raises it to 174g/km in the five-door, 169g/km in the three-door, figures identical to those scored by the auto-only SD4 despite the latter's beefier outputs.
Confused yet? What's clear is that the most tax-efficient way of owning a four-wheel drive Evoque is to have a manual TD4 as featured here. You can't combine this with Dynamic trim, leaving Pure and Prestige to choose from, but you can add MagneRide adaptive dampers as a separate option as fitted to our five-door test car.
Dramatic as the three-door 'coupé' looks, the five-door is the more practical machine with more rear headroom and a better view aft thanks to a roofline which slopes downwards less dramatically towards the tail. It also costs £1000 less, suggesting a very healthy profit margin for the coupé with its fewer components, and it still looks pretty striking.
Maybe the less power-sapping manual transmission helps the feeling, but this TD4 feels just as lively out on the road as an SD4. The engine pulls with vigour and no detectable harshness from low speeds, gives ample overtaking punch and it cruises quietly. The shift is light and precise, and the clutch is smoothly progressive which helps when tackling tricky off-road hazards.
The MagneRide suspension has off-road benefits too, even if the on-road gains are less clear-cut. With Terrain Response set to an off-road programme, MagneRide loosens the dampers right off to give a fine ride over bad bumps. It's the perfect solution.
Control C, Click new window, Control V. review complete.
Autocar stop this insanity or are you actually going to review (?) all 3,482 variants in the range.
So to sum up for 15k less you will be able to get a Mazda CX5 that will do everything better than this apart from looking good on your drive .
Who said there was logic to car buying !
"Cut down Freelander at inflated prices"
Actually I was very pleased to be able to read that the lower-spec versions still drive well and give the same fee-good factor. Lower priced version with a maller engine, lower spec, 5-doors and reasonable CO2 but still with 4WD must make this one just about the sweet spot in the range if you want an Evoque for more than just posing in.
3. Holding resale value? Too soon to say I suppose.
You're right, car buying isn't logical, but it never was. In most walks of life people with lots of money are offered the opportunity to enjoy the diminishing returns that higher priced products generally give you. That's why they buy pricey clothes, live in unnecessarily large houses, have giant TVs, wear bejewelled watches etc etc. There's nothing new here.
Any kid getting out the back of the Evoque might be too car sick to smile have a look at those rear windows .
The Mazda could well be likened to a long life light bulb boring but it will go on and on and on... the Rangie will soon blow out .
Horses for courses of course .
To be fair I have driven neither car and was just having some fun .
If you go around with a spare set of tyres. Otherwise it is as much use as a chocolate fire guard.
Crikey, if that's what my child found important I'd go and weep in a darkened room knowing I'd failed them and myself.
Debatable which ones looks best on the drive. Offroad? c'mon if you ever see an Evoque off road it will probably be unintentional because the gearbox broke. At least then with those poky side portholes your kids won't be embarrassed as people stare whilst waiting the AA.
[quote audiolab]Autocar stop this insanity or are you actually going to review (?) all 3,482 variants in the range.[/quote] They've barely started. Next there will be endless comparison tests with other cars, then the long term "Living with the Evoque" tests. We can then look forward to the expose's on Evoque unreliability followed by "All you need to know about buying a used Evoque". I agree, it's too much even for someone like me who's buying one.

Q: VBA Code to Save As .XLSM Need assistance to add command to save as .xlsm :-
Private Sub cmdSaveForm1_Click()
    Dim strFolder As String
    Dim i As Long

    'Find the position of the period in the file name
    i = InStr(ActiveWorkbook.Name, ".")

    'Create a default file name by concatenating the file name without the extention _
        plus the current date and time, and plus the xlsm extention
    Filename = Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, i - 1) & "_" & Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd_hh mm") & ".xlsm"

    'Open Save As dialog to a default folder with default file name
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs)
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        .InitialFileName = "P:\EU Funds Management - Treasury\TRS3_Abstract of Payments\TRS3_Authorisation_L1\" & Filename
        .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewDetails
        If .Show = -1 Then strFolder = .SelectedItems(1) Else Exit Sub
        .Execute
    End With
End Sub

A: To save a Workbook as .xlsm you need the following file format

Excel 2007-2010 Macro-Enabled Workbook (.xlsm) - 52 - xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled

To save a file to an chosen format you need to specify the appropriate format when saving. This can be done by adding FileFormat:= to your save action.
ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=Path & Filename, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled

Below the addition of the save action and FileFormat to your code.
Private Sub cmdSaveForm1_Click()
    Dim strFolder As String
    Dim i As Long

    'Find the position of the period in the file name
    i = InStr(ActiveWorkbook.Name, ".")

    'Create a default file name by concatenating the file name without the extention _
        plus the current date and time, and plus the xlsm extention
    Filename = Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, i - 1) & "_" & Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd_hh mm") & ".xlsm"

    'Open Save As dialog to a default folder with default file name
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs)
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        .InitialFileName = "P:\EU Funds Management - Treasury\TRS3_Abstract of Payments\TRS3_Authorisation_L1\" & Filename
        .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewDetails

        If .Show = -1 Then strFolder = .SelectedItems(1) Else Exit Sub

        'get selected folder path from FileDialog, but remove filename from FileDialog
        folderPath = Left(strFolder, InStrRev(strFolder, "\"))

        'Save this workbook in chosen file path & appropriate filename
        'File format .xlsm
        ThisWorkbook.SaveAs Filename:=folderPath & Filename, FileFormat:=xlOpenXMLWorkbookMacroEnabled
    End With
End Sub

A: Different Fileformats for excel are:
.xlsx = 51 '(52 for Mac)
.xlsm = 52 '(53 for Mac)
.xlsb = 50 '(51 for Mac)
.xls = 56 '(57 for Mac)
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileFormat:=52   '=.xlsm in Windows

A: The solution is:
.FilterIndex = 2
1 = xlsx, 2 = xlsm
Private Sub cmdSaveForm1_Click()

    Dim strFolder As String
    Dim i As Long

    'Find the position of the period in the file name
    i = InStr(ActiveWorkbook.Name, ".")

    'Create a default file name by concatenating the file name without the extention _
        plus the current date and time, and plus the xlsm extention
    Filename = Left(ActiveWorkbook.Name, i - 1) & "_" & Format(Now, "yyyy-mm-dd_hh mm") & ".xlsm"

    'Open Save As dialog to a default folder with default file name
    With Application.FileDialog(msoFileDialogSaveAs)
        .AllowMultiSelect = False
        .FilterIndex = 2  '2 = xlsm
        .InitialFileName = "P:\EU Funds Management - Treasury\TRS3_Abstract of Payments\TRS3_Authorisation_L1\" & Filename
        .InitialView = msoFileDialogViewDetails
        If .Show = -1 Then strFolder = .SelectedItems(1) Else Exit Sub
        .Execute
    End With
End Sub

Q: Selecting rows with id's that are found in a PHP array I am wondering how i can find all rows that have the same ID as one of the values in an array.. so lets say:
Array(1,2,5,6,99,467);

Now i want to query all rows which have an id in that array, my initial idea was to loop the array and use a SELECT on each field, but i  am wondering if i can skip that process with some kind of in_array method to make a bit more efficient?

A: SELECT *
FROM table
WHERE id IN (' . implode(', ', $arr) . ')

PS: if the data comes from outside and can contain non-numbers - it could worth performing array_map('intval', $arr) before
