Movie Review: A Taste of Cherry
A Taste of Cherry (aka Ta'm e guilass) was the winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes in 1997, but is also on movie critic Roger Ebert's "Most Hated" list. I can totally understand both of these opinions.
Mr. Badii is driving, slowly and deliberately, all around the Iranian countryside. He's looking for a man to help him just throw 10 spadefuls of dirt. Not a spoiler since it's in the movie description, but Mr. Badii dug a hole under a cherry tree, and he plans to commit suicide there. He only needs someone to come by and check to make sure he's dead, then fill the hole. He's very matter-of-fact, and sure that it's such a simple task that he'll have no problem finding someone to do it. He starts by pitching it as a chance to make a lot of money for a small job, but when he is turned down over and over again, he ends up just begging people to help him. He never talks about why he wants to commit suicide, but the general subject is discussed throughout the entire film. Various facets of suicide belief range from fear, to religion, to understanding.
The beautiful long shots through the window of Mr. Baldii's truck as he winds through the dusty Tehran landscape turn the location into the main character. Mr. Badii doesn't give much information about himself or his story. His personality does not give anything away, it's even and pragmatic. He has even features, and a calm demeanor. We don't even find out his first name. Although he is in the film from the first minute to the last, it is not about him. It's about the people who come in contact with him and how they feel about suicide.
It's hard to discuss the ending without giving away key points or surprises, so I'll just tell you how it made me feel. There are essentially two parts to the ending. The first brought up a lot of emotions - sadness, hope, chill, loneliness, wonder. Honestly, it could have just ended there - and I would have thought about it for weeks. However, because of the sensitive subject and how film boards like to operate, there must be more in this case. The second part of the ending was crass, loud, jarring, and unsatisfying. Still, I thought about it for weeks.
"A Taste of Cherry" is available on Netflix DVD as all fine foreign films are.

Movie Review: 5 Flights Up
Who doesn't love Morgan Freeman and Diane Keaton? Both have long acting histories that are rich with both comedy and drama, and plenty of awards. In "5 Flights Up," they play Alex and Ruth Carver, a couple trying to sell their apartment which, as you may have guessed, is on the fifth floor with no elevator. Their niece, Lilly (played by Cynthia Nixon) is a suit-wearing, fast talking, real estate agent who runs around screeching at them about bids, deadlines, and the New York Real Estate market. Since Alex and Ruth have lived in the same place for forty years, they have no idea what to do and spend most of the movie completely confused.
There are two side stories - one about a terrorist attempting to blow up a bridge, and one about their dog, Dorothy, who has an expensive surgery. Along the way, they meet a young girl whose mother is in the market for an apartment, two "dog ladies" that are adopting a baby, a psychiatrist who wonders if she can get patients from the rest of the building's tenants, and a rude couple who appeared to not want to sell to a mixed-race couple.
We have lots and lots of flashbacks - how Alex and Ruth meet-cute, why they have no children, how they acquired their little dog, and Alex's art career. Nothing new to see here, in fact, nothing much new in the entire movie. Keaton is her usual neurotic self, while Freeman is the calming force (and voice!). The most interesting scene is when Ruth (as a young woman) talks to her family about her impending marriage to Alex, and her mother tries to be supportive without wanting to. Ruth doesn't use this time to teach, to help her mother bod with Alex, or to enlist her sister's help - she just rants and raves.
It was a pleasant Saturday afternoon movie - no violence, no conflict, not really any tough decisions despite Nixon's insistence that everything be decided immediately, while swinging her phone and designer handbag around wildly. I guess that it's a bit more interesting for people who live or have lived in New York City. Those outside don't really care about the NYC real estate market, or how cutthroat it is. The screenplay is written by Charlie Peters, the writer of "Krippendorf's Tribe," which is a horrendous movie, so the bar there was pretty low. All we came to see was Keaton and Freeman, though, and that was a very satisfying mission accomplished.
"5 Flights Up" was a flash in the theaters, but you can catch it on Netflix DVD.
They have no family in town, and no jobs, and Alex is constantly saying he loves a great view...why wouldn't they just move to Connecticut?
DVD Review: Edward R. Murrow - The Best of Person to Person
This is exactly the kind of DVD that I joined Netflix for, 14 years ago. Classic, quirky, informative, unknown. They are available at any time from http://dvd.netflix.com.
Edward R. Murrow was an award-winning American journalist for CBS during the time of WWII. He did live broadcasts from Europe, as well as producing a variety of special reports. On April 2, 1945, Murrow and fellow reporter Bill Schadel were the first reporters at Buchenwald concentration camp, and the first to talk to emaciated survivors.
In 1953, Murrow created a wonderful show called "Person to Person," which were just casual discussions with famous people. He chose those who were setting trends for the culture of the fifties, without knowing that many of them would become legends...even super legends.
The first disc is the best one. Murrow interviews John F. Kennedy, who had just been elected to the United States Senate. Murrow was obviously unfamiliar with him, but Kennedy was a passionate interview, outlining his hopes and dreams for the future of the United States. Kennedy was accompanied by his wife, Jackie, who was demure and smiling...yet to grow into the incredibly strong woman that we knew and loved.
Robert Kennedy was brash and smiling, at ease in front of the camera, even with Murrow's prying questions. His wife, Ethel, welcomed Murrow and cameras into their home, showing off their children and pets...and their lavish lifestyle.
My favorite one was Murrow's interview was Eleanor Roosevelt in her New York apartment. It is much smaller that anyone would imagine a former President's wife would ever occupy. She loves it, though, and shows us every inch. She admits that she doesn't cook, answers her own fan mail, and gets a lot of invitations to speak. She mentions wanting to help everyone, and reading mail from people who disagree with her as well as those who think she is still in the White House. She's very humble, and seems even surprised that anyone would care how she lives.
These amazing interviews give you a glimpse into history. From Danny Thomas and his wife showing off their Christmas tree, to Norman Rockwell proudly showing off his studio and describing his creative process, you'll be warmed by the peek into these great people. Other icons on Disc 1 are Esther Williams, Billy Graham, Dick Clark, Andy Griffith, and Art Linkletter.
Discs 2 and 3 include Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, and Frank Sinatra. Find a lot more discs like this at http://dvd.netflix.com.

Movie Review - Thoroughbreds
I chose to rent "Thoroughbreds" from Netflix DVD because it was Anton Yelchin's last movie before his death at the age of 27. I didn't know what to expect, but the first few minutes had a distinct "Heathers" feel to it with the distinct, ennui-laced dialogue between two privileged girls. It's the kind of conversation that makes me want to yell, "GET A JOB, THEN YOU'LL HAVE REAL PROBLEMS!"
The story focuses on two rich schoolmates, Olivia Cooke as Amanda, who is angry for no apparent reason other than thinking she has a much better grasp on real life than everyone else. Anya Taylor-Joy is Lily, a perky, studious girl with a hatred for her stepfather, Mark (Paul Sparks). One of the most humourous conversations was one of the first between Amanda and Lily when they were starting to be honest with each other:
Lily : Have you been showering?
Amanda : Recently, only every couple of days. Nobody said anything so I assumed I was getting away with it.
Lily : Well, you're not.
Amanda : Not sorry I tried.
After that, it kind of spiraled into what I assume are writer/director Cory Finley's observation's on life. Finley is a member of Youngblood, a group of young writers. The cinematography was a nice combination of shadows and blocking, positioning each actor's head and body in just the right spot. Lyle Vincent was the brains behind all of that, using natural light for most of the shots. I'll be looking for other films that feature Vincent's work...he does have a knack for framing.
The stepfather turns out to be Bad to Lily and her mother, so the girls want to kill him of course. Like other movies of this ilk, the girls hatch an unlikely plan to do this which, in Chapter Three, involves Yelchin. He has a very small part as Tim, a drug dealer who is a potential hit man that Amanda and Lily try to hire to kill Mark.
There's an interesting twist as various plans go awry, and the end of the film far makes up for the triteness of the beginning. It is bittersweet, but plays out in a very disconcerting way that will have you questioning what Amanda and Lily's lives will be, and questioning your own morals. The movie poster touts it as "wickedly funny" (not so much) and "unpredictable" (most definitely). More dark than comedy, it's worth the watch.
If you're looking for a Netflix DVD with more Anton Yelchin, try "Odd Thomas" or "Charlie Bartlett."

Movie Review - Annihilation
I will admit this right off the bat: I am not a big fan of Natalie Portman. As Dorothy Parker wrote about Katharine Hepburn, "She runs the gamut of emotions from A to B." If I apply that to Portman, then it puts us both in good company. Because of that, the movie didn't grab me from the beginning, despite the Crosby, Stills, and Nash background music as she thought about her husband who supposedly died in service to our country. Honestly, as she is pulled back and forth around his disappearance, I feel nothing coming from her. She's just as blank as Queen Amidala. Even when things should have been really terrifying, her face looked like she'd just had botox. Good thing I rented this on Netflix DVD (http://www.dvd.com) so I can return it easily!
Anyway, about the movie. The premise is interesting - a no-woman's-land where things aren't at all what they seem. A group of women are sent in to figure it out. They aren't trained much, so they take a lot of needless risks. A whole lot. Despite seeing all kinds of mutations and other oddities, they still don't believe other strange things when they see them. It's like a bad 80s horror film where the guy who says, "I'll be right back," never comes back.
If I sound cynical, it's because I am - "Annihilation" tries way too hard to bring odd things into the picture, then dispense with them right away. "I don't want to stay here tonight." "We have to. It's too late to move on." That dialogue could have (and probably is) in almost every movie ever made. The Shimmer itself was no more interesting than anything we've seen in the new "Lost in Space," or the Australian Outback. Everything they find, they immediately go up close to it without protection or go off alone. Even Navy Seals don't do that.
I won't spoil the end, but it is way too easy to figure things out when the explanation is just waiting for you at the end. There's no real use of anyone's intellect to figure out what's happening. Portman plays a biologist, whose big revaluation is that different flowers shouldn't grow from the same stem. I wonder if they just took LSD if they'd have a better adventure. Honestly, the bending and loss of time was the most unsettling thing - if the writers had done something with that - well, that would have been a bit better.
If it sounds like "Annihilation" was a waste of my time - it was. The good thing is that because I wasted my time, you don't have to waste yours. Skip it.
Netflix DVDs - Feeding My Dickens Habit
If you're like many people, every Christmas season, you watch your favorite Christmas-themed movies. Mine are "Elf," "Santa Claus: The Movie," "Home Alone," "Miracle on 34th Street" (both versions), and "Die Hard" (of course!). The very best Christmas story of all time, however, is Dickens' "A Christmas Carol."
The story of miser Ebenezer Scrooge, a tyrant and general jerk who is visited by the ghost of Marley, his deceased business partner, followed by three ghosts on Christmas Eve is a beautiful tale of misery and redemption. It's a perfect reminder to us about the true spirit of Christmas - and that it's never too late for us to change for the better. As a result of the over-arching moral themes and charming plot, this book has been adapted over and over again for film and television.
My favorite version is the one with Alistair Sim that was released in 1951...it's shown on network TV every year. One of the joys I've discovered with Netflix DVDs is that there are so many - and each has its own charm. Scrooge was played as a straight drama by such greats as Reginald Owen (1938), Patrick Stewart (1999), George C. Scott (1984), Michael Hordern (1977), Seymour Hicks (silent - 1913), Kelsey Grammer (2004), and even Marlo Thomas as Ebby Scrooge (1977), to name just a few. Of course, there are comedies as well - the best being "Scrooged," with Bill Murray (1988). Untold numbers of animated versions were created, like "Mr Magoo's Christmas Carol" (1962) and Mickey's Christmas Carol (1983). Jim Carrey even made an animated version in 2009. Several TV shows produced special episodes with the "Christmas Carol" story line, like "Doctor Who," "Sanford and Son," "Beavis and Butthead," and "Blackadder." The best TV adaptation comes from "Family Ties," in which Alex Keaton (Michael J. Fox) sees the error of his "bah, humbug" ways, and buys his family unusual gifts from the local convenience store.
Personally, I never get tired of being walked through a full range of human emotion as the ghosts walk Scrooge through his life. The moment when Scrooge realizes that he can and wants to be a better person, and when he sees how that affects everyone his life -- never ceases to bring out the tears. There isn't anyone who can't learn from any adaptation of "A Christmas Carol." You can find many of these on the Netflix DVD service (http://www.dvd.com), and get your Scrooge on during December - or any month! Just search for "A Christmas Carol" or "Scrooge," and you'll be able to choose from all your favorite actors - and many that you haven't heard of.
The Horror Film Festival that Netflix DVDs Built
I have loved horror films since I was a child. I recall watching old Vincent Price films on Sunday afternoon, my favorite being "House on Haunted Hill." When the skeleton came dancing out of the vat of acid, I always watched through my fingers - but I did watch every time. From "The Fly" to "The Tingler," Price sent chills up and down my spine every time he spoke. I was fortunate to have met him when I was 15 after seeing him perform as Fagin in a stage production of "Oliver!" Even now, 25 years after his death, hearing the deep tones of Dr. Phibes' organ sends my hands up in front of my eyes.
Along with a love of horror films comes an enjoyment of everything scary that comes out for Halloween. Several years after first subscribing to Netflix DVDs, I decided to make a concerted effort to watch as many horror films as possible in October. Netflix offered all of my Vincent Price favorites (over 55 titles at this time), so I loaded up on them for the entire month. I enjoyed the impromptu film festival so much that I decided to repeat it the next year - watching as many Price movies as I could cram in between family and work. With a quick shuffle of my Netflix queue - they just kept coming. For over 10 years, I've been leaning heavily on Neflix (http://www.dvd.com/20years) for my horror film addiction.
The third year, I tried something different - finishing off the AFI top 100 Thrills, which included a lot of horror and drama. The fourth year, I went for films with weird titles, like "Cockneys vs. Zombies" and "Dead and Breakfast." Most of them were so bad they were really good. That level of "bad" quality did not extend to the fourth year, when I went for films that were sequels. As you may suspect - they were bad bad. "Friday the 13th: Jason Takes Manhattan" and "Poltergeist 3" were so bad that I ditched the theme in the middle of the month and just watched whatever horror film I wanted.
Over the years, I've really enjoyed most of the themes I chose, and I started sharing my October Horror Film Fest adventures with my social media friends, often posting reviews for each horror film. I was able to introduce young people to old black-and-white classics like Frankenstein and Nosferatu, later classics like "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Dunwich Horror," and a lot of my favorites like "King Kong" and "The Mummy" (the old and new versions of both).
Last year's theme was "...of the Dead." Sure, I had "Night of the Living Dead," "Dawn of the Dead," and "Sean of the Dead." If you're looking for new films to watch, though, don't miss "Juan of the Dead," "Night of the Living Bread," and "Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead."
One more aspect of the October Horror Fest: I'm working my way through all of the discs of the "Dark Shadows" soap opera of the sixties. My mother watched it all the time and I loved it. Netflix DVD has so many seasons that you'll never run out!
You don't have to do horror - but pick your favorite genre, pick a month, and queue up a bunch of DVDs!

Movie Review - Maudie
If you only watch blockbuster movies, you miss some real gems. If I had never rented "Brigsby Bear" from Netflix, I would have never seen the preview for "Maudie," and that would have been a great loss. Not only would I have never seen the movie, I wouldn't have known about the life and artwork of Maud Lewis.
"Maudie" is the true story of Nova Scotian folk artist Maud Lewis, whose colorful paintings have been increasingly popular in her later years. The oils are far from the most interesting thing about her, though. Sally Hawkins is amazing as Maud, who had rheumatoid arthritis and an "odd sense about her." Ethan Hawke is her (future) husband, also a loner and town oddball, who takes Maud in as a housekeeper. Both are almost unrecognizable as they melt into their respective parts.
Sometimes sad, sometimes touching, sometimes angry - "Maudi" captures the hard road for Maud Lewis as she struggles to win even an ounce of respect from her family and, at the beginning, from Everett. When Maud starts working at Everett's house, they each have a lot of growing to do even to get along with the one other person who needs them. They grow closer, but even their version of "close" is unusual. When Maud's paintings become quite popular, they don't change a thing. They live in the same tiny house without electricity, living on only the bare necessities...but Maud starts painting the walls, and it becomes a work of art itself.
In fact, the movie itself uses very simple scenery, costumes, and dialogue to tell what ends up being a very lovely story. Half of Ethan Hawke's lines are old school Canadian fisherman "grunts," but they say a lot in the context of the film. The couple's house is small and cramped, just like Maud...and we see it come to life as she paints its walls, just like she comes to life as she paints more and more...not becoming stronger physically, but emotionally.
Sally Hawkins gave a very strong performance in "Maudie," but she played almost the same character in "The Shape of Water," for which she earned an Oscar and a Golden Globe nomination. In my opinion, this was a much more transformative role and deserved a stronger nod. Canadian film festival goers loved it, giving it several film festival awards. I hope that some day, US film goers appreciate "Maudie" as much as I do.

Shahrukh, Me, and Netflix DVDs
I have been a classic movie fan since I was a small child. There was nothing to do on Sunday afternoon except watch old movies on our local affiliate TV station, and it seemed like they played the same 20 movies all over again. Foreign films, comedies, epics, horror - I learned to love it all. Typically, I had to wait for these movies to randomly come on TV and, because DVRs weren't a thing yet, I had to watch them when they were on. I was on Thanksgiving break in 2004 when I heard about Netflix. All I had to do was choose some movies, they'd send them to me, I watched them, and I'd send them back and get more. It seemed unbelievable - especially since I saw what they had available - which was pretty much everything!
I jumped in feet first, and before long, my first two movies were on their way: "Kill Bill 2" and "Akira Kurosawa's Dreams" - both of which I rated five stores and have remained in my list of top movies of all time. Before long, I had a mailbox full of foreign film like "Blue," "The Decalogue," and another that is still one of my favorites: "I am Cuba." Every disc I received had the potential to be amazing...or a dud. The best part was that no matter what - I could send it back and get another quickly.
In a few months, I took a chance on a black-and-white Indian film from 1958: "Pather Panchali." This film is the first of a trilogy directed by Satiyajit Ray. The story is simple - the head of a very poor family has to leave and take a job elsewhere, leaving his wife and two children to the elements. When he returns, his heart is broken to find that things didn't go as well as he had hoped. The cinematography was so lovely, and the story so simple and heartbreaking, that I devoured it and the other two in the trilogy: "Aparajito" and "The World of Apu." I stepped a bit forward in Indian film with "Sholay" (1975), "Black," and "Dil Chanta Hai." I moved from drama, to comedy, and finally the inevitable step in Indian film: Bollywood musicals. Eventually, I saw a movie that changed my life: "Diwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" starring one of the top Indian actors: Sharukh Khan. I leapt headfirst into Bollywood with Shahrukh, through "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai," "Om Shanti Om," and my favorite, "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi." I became such an Indian film buff that I never ceased to shock my co-workers from India with my knowledge of their film industry. Now, I use my love of Bollywood to make friends with co-workers and friends who are far from home and come to my city to work. It really is a small world, and Netflix DVD helped me make it a little smaller!
Celebrate 20 years of Netflix DVDs with me by renting a Shahrukh Khan movie!

Movie Review - "Stronger"
"Did you hear that? Jeff, are you 'Boston Strong'?" Jeff Bauman is nothing but strong, as we see in the 2017 movie, "Stronger," starring Jake Gyllenhaal as Bauman.
The buildup to the accident is very quick, because that isn't what this movie is about. We see a quick exchange with his Costco co-workers, a brief scene with his girlfriend, and then we're at the 2013 Boston Marathon. The explosion is seen from afar, and there is no gore. In a scene or two, he's waking up in the hospital having had his legs amputated above the knees.
There aren't any politics, or gossip, or celebrity appearances. This is not a gratuitous movie to please your inner voyeur. It's a heartfelt retelling of the difficulty of Bauman's recovery, and I am sure that it doesn't even scratch the surface.
One of the hardest scenes to watch is one where Bauman is trying to do a simple task - use the bathroom. Bauman's family fills the living room of his home, cheering on the Boston Red Sox and yelling through the door every time they see "Boston Strong" on a baseball bat or sign. Meanwhile, Bauman is on the floor just trying to tear off a few sheets of toilet paper by himself. His family throughout the movie enjoys the attention, but fails to give Jeff the kind of physical and emotional support he needs. When Bauman turns down an interview with Oprah Winfrey because the publicity is too much, they push back hard rather than trying to figure out how he feels.
This movie is just as much about Jeff Bauman's girlfriend, Erin Hurley, as it is about him. She's the one who was running the Boston Marathon when the bombs went off. In the movie, she was almost at the finish line, but in reality, she was about a mile away. The race took place during one of their many breakups, and her feelings of guilt, anger, fear, and responsibility weighed heavy on her mind - and on their relationship.
Ultimately, we get a glimpse into what it means to be an accidental celebrity. Bauman is approached everywhere he goes, yet gets out of traffic tickets and gets to throw out the first pitch for the Boston Red Sox. It's a mixed bag of emotions, but at the end of the day, he still has to do all of the recovery work himself.

Is in yours devenlope program to bring back that useful function or there is an "hidden" shortcut to obtain the same result in present relase?

Devon County Council to break even
Friday, March 15th, 2019 6:34am
By Daniel Clark
Image: County Hall in Exeter
Budget overspend had been forecast at more than £8million
Devon County Council is set to breakeven on its budget for 2018/19.
Six months into the financial year, budget monitoring reports forecasted an £8.15m overspend for the council, a figure that dropped to £4.8m after eight months.
The county council's cabinet on Wednesday heard that at month 10, a breakeven position is forecast for the year end, subject to a request to carry forward £2.4m to next years Dedicated Schools Grant will be agreed by the Devon Education Forum next week.
But Children's Services are set to overspend on its budget by £12m, an increase of £900,000 from month eight. Mary Davis, County Treasurer's report said that £7.6m of the overspend was in Children's Social Care with pressures within residential placements and the disabled children short breaks service as well as legal disbursements.
She added: "It is pleasing that the projection at month 10 is for a breakeven position. The savings initiatives developed by the Councils Leadership Group continue to deliver reductions in revenue expenditure and have contributed to the forecast position as detailed previously.
"Increases in forecast underspends for waste and the national travel scheme have helped manage growing pressures within Children's Services and the position has also benefited from confirmation of a refund from the national Business Rates Retention Scheme Levy Account as well as being able to release some non-earmarked grants to support a breakeven forecast position.
"However, like many other local authorities across the country, the council is continuing to grapple with high levels of demand for Children Services. Residential Placements, although more stable than earlier in the year continue to be difficult to contain within the budget allocated and pressures against the high needs block of the dedicated schools grant are increasing and continue to be cause for concern.
"The forecast position reflects the remaining £3.7m pressure within the DSG being supported by the Council but the final treatment of this pressure will need to be considered as part of the wider financial position at year end."
The report said that Adult Care and Health Services was forecast to underspend by £636,000, compared to Month 8 which had been forecasting an underspend of £385,000, and that work associated with the additional allocation of £3.6m to support winter pressures was underway.
Children's Services were showing a forecast overspend of £12m, which was an increase of £900,000 from month 8.
Highways, Infrastructure Development and Waste was forecasting an underspend of £3m, a £600,000 increase from month 8.
Communities, Public Health, Environment and Prosperity (COPHEP) were forecasting an underspend of £1.2m, while Corporate Services, there was an underspend of £156,000, while non-service items were forecasting a £7.1m underspend
Cllr Stuart Barker, cabinet member for resources management, said that the work the council had done meant they had got back on track and the forecast was to note 'we are not overspending this year'.
Cllr Alistair Dewhirst said it was good news the council was moving towards breaking even, but added: "I have concerns about underspends as that means a non-delivery of services for the people of Devon and that cannot be a good thing."
For 27 years in a row, Devon County Council's balance sheet has ended in the black.

Paris, France – At this point, if you utilize any of the popular social media platforms, you are fully aware of the 'tweet heard around the world', the response from the maker of Ambien, Sanofi, and the public's response.
While we all have our personal thoughts and stances on the entire situation, a recent report from Fierce Pharma and WeGo Health showcases the mixed reviews and overall impact Sanofi's response had across the healthcare landscape and the public.
Overall, Sanofi witnessed an uptick of 3,125 followers just two days after their initial response. Of which to put it in perspective, they gained 467 followers for the entire month of April.
You can read more about WeGo's study originally reported from Fierce Pharma, here.
We have helped many pharmaceutical companies and their respective brands in the past realize new and innovative ways to utilize social media to connect with different stakeholders throughout the entire healthcare landscape. One of the common themes we help brand marketers realize is the power in humanizing their communication within any of the social media platforms. This is understandably a challenging step for any company in a highly regulated industry.
Corporate Values: We see the brands (inside and outside of healthcare) that communicate their values openly within social channels winning more fans. This day and age, research shows us that 84% of consumers are loyal to brands that support their personal passion. How can you draw more of your company or brand's value into your content calendar throughout your social media channels?
Control Your Lexicon: You can either take a stance on topics or let social media decide your stance. Healthcare brands need to have a strategy that allows the freedom to develop their stance or be held to what others create on your behalf. What are two or three key areas of your brand that you wish you could control the conversation and what strategy can you develop and implement to take over or create a new lexicon on the topics?
"Frienemies": You will never win everyone over, and that is ok. Many times we see healthcare brands shy completely away from social media mainly because they don't want to offend anyone. However brands that are not taking advantage of being where their customers spend the most time, within social media, they are being ignored and/or left behind. Where are your customers expecting to connect with your brand? What are two things you could be doing differently today that put your brand on the forefront and allow better positioning, regardless of topic or need?
While these are just a few areas of focus, hopefully this situation helps you analyze your current stance and helps you make minor or major tweaks within your social media strategy. Don't have a social strategy or looking to gain a better understanding of your current unmet needs and how to fill them? Contact us today, as we would love to work with you and help increase your impact on social media.

Book Review: Where the Dog Star Never Glows by Tara L. Masih
Where the Dog Star Never Glows by Tara L. Masih, Press 53, LLC, 2010. Review by Debrah Lechner.
Tara L. Masih is a vivid, lyrical writer, and in this anthology of short stories, she applies that gift to a wide number of societies, natural settings, and wonderful, distinct, intriguing characters. Each story in this collection, which spans two decades of her work, stands alone as a piece worth the price of the book.
Some are primal in setting, such as the story "The Sin Eater," which begins:
Most days, like this one, he lives like a snake coiled peacefully on a warm rock ledge down in the gorge, listening to the low grown of frogs and the high-pitched buzz of flying insects.
In this story Masih merges vengeance and redemption into a whole, one thing, both repelling and beautiful, a gestalt there is no word for in English. To articulate an experience for which there is no term is a pretty impressive accomplishment.
In the story "Asylum" the narrator is forced by circumstance to undertake a life-long quest to distinguish her identity and the meaning of her life from that of her mother, a schizophrenic woman that she cares for. Her isolation, dedication to her destiny, and the challenge she faces are no less harrowing than that of the snake-eater because of the modern and familiar setting:
You'd think with a name like Bliss that I had a good life, wouldn't you? But I was named by my mother more from hope than intuition. She wanted me to have what she knew she would never have. She wanted to protect me in the only small, powerless way that she could.
Notice the word "hope" in that passage. Redemption in Masih's stories come, as it does in most cases, in the form of hope. What I like most about the hope that she writes about is that it relies on a firm sense of self. There is nothing remotely resembling luck, answered prayer, or any other Deus-ex-machina: it is knowing who you are that promises salvation.
Tara L. Masih has earned numerous awards and nominations for her fiction. She is also the editor of The Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Writing Flash Fiction: Tips from Editors, Teachers, and Writers in the Field, which is also a book to consider acquiring.

Which Platinum Jubilee Event Will Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Attend with the Royal Family?
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry won't join the royal family on the Buckingham Palace balcony for Trooping the Colour, but they will reunite with Queen Elizabeth and the rest of the royals for another Platinum Jubilee event.
The couple, who will travel from their California home to the U.K. with their two children for the weekend of festivities marking the monarch's 70 years on the throne, is expected to attend the service of thanksgiving at St. Paul's Cathedral on Friday, June 3, according to The Telegraph.
Many members of the royal family are expected to attend the event, including Prince Andrew, the Queen's son who is no longer a working royal following his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Some of the Queen's older great-grandchildren, including Prince George and Princess Charlotte, may also attend the Friday ceremony, although Meghan and Harry's two children — Archie Harrison, 3, and Lilibet Diana, who will turn 1 on June 4 — are believed to be too young for the outing.
News that Meghan, 40, and Prince Harry, 37, would travel to the U.K. for the Platinum Jubilee celebrations came shortly after Queen Elizabeth, 96, announced that only working members of the royal family will appear for the traditional Buckingham Palace balcony appearance as part of Trooping the Colour, the monarch's annual public birthday celebration.
"After careful consideration, the Queen has decided that this year's traditional Trooping the Colour balcony appearance on Thursday 2nd of June will be limited to Her Majesty and those members of the Royal Family who are currently undertaking official public duties on behalf of the Queen," a Buckingham Palace spokesman said.
This change in tradition does not include Meghan and Harry, who stepped back as senior members of the royal family in 2020, and Prince Andrew following his recent lawsuits. However, it's possible that Meghan and Prince Harry will appear at Trooping the Colour in another capacity, such as taking part in a carriage ride as part of the parade.
It's likely that Meghan and Prince Harry will attend other events throughout the weekend as well.
On Saturday, June 4, members of the royal family will attend the Derby at Epsom, followed by the Platinum Party at the Palace in the evening, with performances by Queen + Adam Lambert, Diana Ross and more.
The four-day celebration will wrap with the Platinum Jubilee Pageant on Sunday, June 5, featuring a parade down The Mall to the Palace in London.

As a kid, Parv always used to play cricket and wanted to be a professional cricket player too. But, when he was around 11-12 years old, he had an injury while playing cricket. During the injury healing period, he got introduced to a game called Clash of Clans. The game was one of the most downloaded mobile games and he loved playing this game. He decided to give his free time to play mobile games and stopped playing cricket totally. His parents weren't happy with him playing online games. He also played Doodle Army 2: Mini Militia
As time passed, he came across the game PUBG Mobile and the rest was history. He formed a team along with three of his friend and named it 4HM. Since he had better gaming knowledge than his friends, he played the IGL role in the team. He started playing paid customs almost every day. MortaL (SouL esports owner) knew him way before and invited him to be a part of his team. Parv accepted the invite and joined SouL Esports in mid-2019.
At that time, SouL's PUBG Mobile lineup was fixed and he always remained as an extra player. But, when MortaL decided to quit competitive, the whole lineup broke and 2 players left the team. As Regaltos was the next best player, he became a part of the team. After his arrival in the team, they stood in 2nd place in PMCO Fall Split 2019. Currently, he is the main player for the team and his role is assaulter.
He started his channel in Dec 2015 and started uploading videos since January 2018. He used to upload Mini Militia gameplays and later started uploading PUBGM highlights. He started regular live streams from August 2018. He rose to fame after performing very well in the PUBGM LAN events. He is currently one of the most subscribed Indian esports athletes.
His first PUBG Mobile clan was 4HM.
He used to play cricket when he was younger and even took cricket coaching.
His favorite sport is cricket.
His parents didn't support him playing games in the beginning. He proved himself during the PMCO Fall Split and his parents now support in everything.
The name Regaltos was suggested to him by Novaking.

Rather than consistently limiting your exposure to different flavors and nutrients, try adding these 5 nutritious foods into your daily arsenal!
If you're training diet has become as predictable as a Jason Statham movie, it might be time to infuse your eating plan with some new flavors. Branching away occasionally from staples like chicken and oatmeal can bring about a number of important benefits.
Eating a greater variety of nutritious foods may make it easier to stick to a healthier diet over time, resulting in better weight control and other health outcomes. Widening the scope of the foods you eat can help you net a greater diversity of essential nutrients needed to support optimal health and physique transformation.
Begin your journey of eating on the wild side with these 5 newfangled foods!
How it's made: Peanut flour is formed by grinding roasted peanuts into a paste, then pressing out most of the oil to leave behind a low-carb powdery substance. Compared to traditional all-purpose flour, you'll go nuts for peanut flour after reading more about the nutrients within.
Nutrition perk: This gluten-free flour is low in fat calories but still a good source of protein, fiber, vitamin E, and iron. In fact, a mere quarter-cup serving provides only 3 grams of fat. So if you're a bit more conscious of your fat intake at the moment, peanut flour provides an excellent boost of nuttiness without the excess calories.
This nutrient dense flour lends itself well to a variety of meals.
Need to know: Once opened, peanut flour should be refrigerated to maintain its freshness. It can also be stashed in the freezer for up to six months.
How to use it: Stir peanut flour into your morning oatmeal or whiz it into post-training shakes for an extra dose of nuttiness and protein. You can also incorporate it into pancake or waffle batter. If a recipe calls for 1 cup of regular flour, try swapping out half of it for peanut flour. You could also try it as a coating for chicken cutlets or as a replacement for breadcrumbs when making meatloaf and meatballs.
How it's made: Miso is a traditional Japanese condiment produced by grinding soybeans (and sometimes grains like barley) into a paste, adding salt and koji (a starter enzyme that breaks down proteins), and then allowing it to ferment over a number of weeks. It's usually dissolved in water to create a flavorful broth.
Try adding a small amount to your daily vegetables to increase the probiotics in your day.
Need to know: Some brands of miso are heat-treated, which will lay waste to beneficial bacteria. To guarantee your fermented paste is still home to the good-for-you bugs, look for the words "unpasteurized" or "raw" on labels. It's also important not to boil miso, as the high heat can kill off the probiotics.
How to use it: Perhaps the easiest way to incorporate miso into you daily diet is via salad dressings. Simply whisk it with some olive oil and vinegar to help breathe new life into a boring bowl of greens. If you're looking for a milder flavor, stick will mellow-tasting yellow miso, rather than robust red miso.
A touch of miso can also crank up the umami flavor in mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, dipping sauces, and meat marinades. It works well as a killer glaze for fish like salmon or sablefish.
How it's made: You'll find sablefish, also referred to as black cod, swimming in the icy waters of the north Pacific Ocean.
Sablefish flesh is rich in mega-healthy omega-3 fats like those found in salmon and sardines. It lends itself well to a variety of seasonings and marinades.
Need to know: A high oil content means sablefish does not have a long shelf life, so it's not always easy to find a fresh catch. However, ask your fishmonger for frozen cuts, which are also of high quality.
How to use it: Similar to other white-fleshed fish like halibut and tilapia, sablefish fillets can be steamed, broiled, poached, seared in a skillet, or tossed on the grill. It's ready to embrace all sorts of salsas, glazes, marinades, and spice rubs.
How it's made: One of the world's smallest grains, malty-nutty-tasting teff contains higher levels of iron than other commonly consumed grains. Iron helps transfer oxygen to working muscles via red blood cells to generate energy for muscular contractions. A British study found that athletes who consumed bread made with teff (versus bread without) had improved iron status at the study's conclusion.8 In just six weeks, subjects improved their iron levels 172 percent by substituting a teff-based bread for their usual daily bread intake (2-6 slices per day).
Nutrition perk: Teff is a worthy source of fat-fighting dietary fiber and a range of must-have nutrients like B vitamins, magnesium, manganese, and phosphorus.
This gluten-free grain is an excellent source of fiber and B vitamins.
Need to know: As with quinoa and rice, teff is naturally gluten-free, making it a good whole-grain option for those avoiding gluten.
How to use it: Teff releases its starch during cooking to create a thick mixture. This can be exploited to make puddings, riffs on polenta, or breakfast porridge similar in consistency of Cream of Wheat. Teff flour can also be used in all sorts of applications like pancakes, waffles, muffins, and cookies.
How it's made: Also called celeriac, this ugly duckling of the vegetable world has a potato-like texture and tastes like a cross between celery and parsley.
This Paleo-friendly vegetable is higher in carbohydrates than most vegetables, making it a great option when you need a pick me up.
Need to know: Celery root's frumpy exterior must be peeled generously with a sharp knife prior to eating. Choose small-to-medium roots that are firm, heavy for their size, and free of soft spots. As a root vegetable, celery root is also a way for paleo followers to obtain some carbohydrates to fuel their workouts.
How to use it: You can eat celery root raw or cooked. Grate peeled celery root and add it to salads and slaws, or slice it into matchsticks and toss into stir-fry. For a riff on mashed potatoes, steam and mash celery root with some butter, fresh herbs, and black pepper. It also works well in puréed soups or mixed with other hearty vegetables and roasted.

PrezPlayPro Progress – For the Love of Code!
I've made so much progress since I last revised my schema in Nov 2017. Most of that progress has been in the last week — two weeks at the very most. The Mobile Web Specialist nanodegree program I'm in as a Google Udacity Scholar via a Grow With Google scholarship has made my skillset and confidence go all supernova.
Gray states are those with no socialist candidates (or there were socialist candidates but they received zero votes).
This query fetches only socialist candidates (excluding Hillary Clinton in one state where she's actually on the ballot as a socialist — she's not included because then she'd win all the states … until I fix my query by, hopefully, finally completing the affiliations table below) to see who among would "win" among the socialist candidates.
Here's the new schema … I still haven't added a stateAbbr column to the affiliations2016 table which, I think, is the reason for a problem I'm having with my first major query.
Results if all the "left-ish" third parties voted for a single candidate — would that candidate have beaten Trump?
If all the right-ish votes went to Trump, would he have have won the popular vote?

To write academically, you need to be able to recognize the way noun phrases fit into sentences. Do this by looking closely at the function of the controlling nouns, (which are the main nouns in a noun phrase. Controlling nouns 'control' the verbs which follow them because the verb must 'agree' with the noun. You need to recognize the controlling noun first so that you can choose the correct form of the verb that follows it. Be careful of noun phrases that have two nouns connected with the preposition of.

Samira and Serkan Yavuz: This is not the name of your daughter!
You already talked about baby names! Samira Klampfl (28) and Serkan Yavuz (28) are expecting a baby. The Bachelor in Paradise couple learned a few weeks ago that they can look forward to a girl. That makes the decision about a name a little easier, explained Serkan thereupon. Despite everything, it is not easy to come to an agreement. Have these maiden names Serkan and Samira but already deleted from their list!
In her podcast "Samira & Serkan in Paradise – The aftermath" they said they had intuitively looked more for girls' names even before the gender reveal party. "Akassia sounds mega-beautiful for a girl," said Serkan, but his sweetheart disagrees: "That sounds like a till system," emphasized Samira. Akassia won't be – and Ella and Davina have also sorted out the lovebirds.
Serkan thinks short names are nice, Samira, on the other hand, a bit longer. "We didn't have a single match," laughed the mother-to-be. So far, only the second name of the little ones has been fixed, because she gets a double name. Serkan had chosen him – that's why I did Samira But now more to say about the first name.

Themes: ActionMultiplayerSingle-player
Developer: Pandemic Studios
The Lord of the Rings: Conquest puts players into the thick of the tremendous battle over The One Ring, playing out battles from both sides of the confrontation! Conquest will let players take control of many of the characters and creatures from the series and pit them on any of the franchise's famous battlefields. From Cave-trolls to Oliphaunts to the Balrog and even Sauron, practically the entire universe will be available for battle with up to 150 characters on-screen at any one time. Up to 16 players will be able to clash online, with four players able to play cooperatively through the main campaign either online or via four-player split-screen
Neon Kelly—Jan 16, 2009
Most of these flaws actually tend to be quite amusing, but they still don't help what is ultimately a fairly limited experience. There is certainly lots of fun to be had with LOTR: Conquest, but unfortunately it's not really the kind of fun that lasts over a long period of time.
Jonathan Marx—Jan 13, 2009
In the end, it seems like The Lord of the Rings IP is showing signs of age. At least that seems to be the case for the long line of action titles in the EA stable. Outside of the excellent split-screen and online multiplayer experience, Conquest doesn't substantially distinguish itself from games in the franchise released five years ago, and this holds the overall experience back.
Chris Watters—Jan 14, 2009
Nevertheless, these pitfalls are somewhat compensated for by two epic campaigns that draw you into a rich world in new and exciting ways. Fans of this world will get the most out of The Lord of the Rings: Conquest, but gamers who are looking to battle in an epic setting and willing to weather some frustrating elements will find plenty of excitement on this journey through Middle-earth.


How do I import products from an integration?
How do I delete products?
How do I create new products in Finale?
How do I export my current products?
Is there a character limit for a product custom field?
Is there a character limit for the 'Product ID' field?
How do I delete products and start completely over?
*** IMPORTANT *** This step must be completed BEFORE you can import stock levels.
You CANNOT import quantities or stock levels in THIS step.
The product list is a list of rows defining the products in your inventory. Each product is defined by a product ID that identifies the product, and a collection of properties that specify what it is. For example, the description, item price, category, and color are all properties of a product. There are about 30 pre-defined product properties. You may add your own custom fields(properties) by going to Application Settings>Products Tab and scrolling down to the Custom Fields section.
The stock quantity and location of storage are not product properties because they aren't part of the definition of what the product is; they pertain to counting how many you have, and where they are kept. Properties such as these are stock properties, rather than product properties.
NOTE:  Stock Levels or your beginning quantities of inventory are imported AFTER your create your Product IDs, with a separate import process!  See step 10. of the Quick Start Guide - Establish your Stock Levels.
The Import or update product list function deals only with the product list. When getting started this is usually the first import operation you do, because you need to define the products before specifying how many you have. A separate operation, Import stock take, is what you use to specify your stock levels based on a physical inventory count, but that comes later in step 10. of the Quick Start Guide 10. Establish your Stock Levels . To get started with your on-boarding to Finale Inventory, FIRST you need to define your products.
Product Ids must be unique. The Product ID field has a limit of 191 characters. We highly recommend, if possible, to not use spaces and punctuation other than hyphens and underscores in your product ids. We do support spaces and punctuation, but they introduce more risk interoperability issues with any other software they are using.
We highly recommend using all UPPER CASE. It is not required, however if you are using barcodes, the scan keys are case sensitive and the default settings on our barcode scanner will convert all scans to Upper case. This can be turned off in the scanner settings.
VERY IMPORTANT - If you just created new custom fields, Pricing, or Categories from the previous Quick Start steps, make sure you REFRESH your browser on the Import & Export screen, pictured below with all the import buttons, BEFORE you attempt to copy/paste your data for import.  This is so the import routine will be aware of all of your new fields and changes.
Working with Quickbooks - Export your products from QB then Import them into Finale Inventory. When integrating Finale Inventory with Quickbooks, Finale Inventory's Product ID is what must have an EXACT match in your Quickbooks Inventory Items, Item Name. Finale Inventory's Product ID connects to Quickbooks Inventory Items. Product Ids in Finale will not connect to Service Items or Assembly Items in Quickbooks. If you already have Inventory Items in your Quickbooks file, they must be 191 characters or less. IF your existing Inventory Item Names in your Quickbooks file are longer than 191 characters, Finale Inventory will not be able to integrate with them, and Finale Inventory will create new Inventory Items in Quickbooks to match the ones in Finale. You can edit your Item name in Quickbooks, prior to syncing with Finale Inventory, and Finale will be able to sync with them.
You can import or update your product list by cutting and pasting from Excel. Each column in the Excel table defines a property; each row is a product. If a product row already exists in the product list, then the import or update operation updates that product; if the product doesn't yet exist, it will be created.
The only required property is the product ID, which identifies the products. All other properties are optional. You can selectively update specific properties of your products by doing the import or update operation with only the property columns you want to update, and of course the product ID column to identify the products.
When you paste from Excel into the import window, Finale shows you a summary of the number of rows being imported as new products and the number of existing products being updated. It also summarizes any errors, such as multiple rows with the same product IDs. Can you see the error in this example preview?
This simple import consisted of just five rows, but two of the rows had the same product ID. Multiple rows with the same product ID don't make any sense, because a product can have only one definition. The preview window shows you that the forth row is ignored because it has the same product ID as the third row. The preview also shows in the summary that you are importing three newly created products, and updating one existing products.
The column drop-downs for columns #1, #2, #3, and #4, allow you to pick the meaning of each column if your column names didn't match the list of supported column names. In the example above, the first three column names matched, so the drop-downs were automatically filled in to match the column names just below them. Notice that column #4 says --Unassigned--. The imported column value of Color did not match any of the columns at this moment. If you had a misspelling in a column name, then you could either hit the browser's back button, fix the misspelling, and paste again, or you could just change the drop-down, and pick the field that matches what you wanted. In this example, Color does not exist so you would need to go to the Application Settings>Products Tab and add the new custom field called Color. After adding a Custom Field you need to refresh your browser so the importing routine will know about your new field.
After the preview step, Finale presents you with a dialog to continue with the operation. The preview step itself makes no actual changes, so you can use the browser's back button and forward button to flip back and forth and to re-paste information. Only after you confirm the import will any changes be made.
Importing large product lists, of say more than 10,000 items, is faster to do in sections. If your Excel product list is 50,000 lines long, the quickest way to import it is to divide it into five sections of 10,000 items and import each of the 10,000 items.
A sample product import file can be downloaded here.
Below the Copy/Paste import window will be a list of supported column names. This list will change and will be automatically expanded/contracted when you created custom fields or add pricing fields, or when you turn on and off features.
The product ID is the unique database key identifying the product. It is the only field that cannot be changed once set. The field can contain ASCII characters not including whitespace, up to 191 characters total. Three common schemes for product IDs are: (1) simply number them starting at 10000 and counting up; (2) encode additional information in the product ID to identify what it is, such as the caliber, manufacturer, effect type, and maybe year, e.g., 2CK-LID1001; (3) just use the manufacturer's product ID as your own.
The description is the name of the product, up to 256 characters. Non-ASCII Unicode characters are supported, so the name can be in a non-English language, including Asian languages like Chinese or Japanese. The description is also the recipe by which Finale choreography tools construct a default simulation for the product. Since Finale incorporates language parsing technology to interpret and understand the description, the default simulations are usually a reasonable match if the description is in fact descriptive. If the description is a proper name, such as for a consumer cake, then you will need to add a custom simulation rather than relying on the default. The Finale choreography documentation provides further details on simulations.
The category must be an exact match to one of the product categories set in "Application Settings > Product". The matching is case-sensitive and whitespace sensitive.
Notes are a description of the product, up to 256 characters Unicode.
Std accounting cost is the cost per each item, written as an integer or floating point number with a period decimal point, no dollar sign or other currency symbol, e.g., "1.2" not "$1.2". Although you may have acquired stock at varying costs from different purchases, this std accounting cost property of the product is a single number that is considered to apply to all stock of this particular product. Therefore if you change the std accounting cost of a product, that change applies to all your stock of that product.
Similar to std accounting cost, the item price is the price per each item, written as an integer or floating point number with a period decimal point, no dollar sign or other currency symbol, e.g., "1.2" not "$1.2". The actual price at which you sell stock may vary from sale to sale depending on discounts that you may offer, but the base level price used in the calculation to determine the actual selling price is this item price for individual items or the case price (see below) for stock sold in cases.
Similar to item price, the case price is the price for stock sold in cases (if you are keeping track of cases separately from open stock), written as an integer or floating point number with a period decimal point, no dollar sign or other currency symbol, e.g., "1.2" not "$1.2". The actual price at which you sell stock may vary from sale to sale depending on discounts that you may offer, but the base level price used in the calculation to determine the actual selling price is the item price and case price.
The standard packing is string of the form "36/1" or "12/12/1" or "12/12" or just "72", defining the default packing for cases of this product. The first number in the string identifies the number of items in the case. Since it is possible to keep stock in cases with different packings simultaneously, the actual packing of case stock must be a property of the stock itself rather than a property of a product. That is why this field is called the "standard packing" or "default packing" rather than the actual "packing." The relationship between the standard packing and the actual packing is this: if you specify a case quantity in a order or stock operation but do not specify the specific packing of that case quantity, then the standard packing is filled in by default. The purpose of the standard packing is to make it so you don't have to type in a specific packing all the time, and yet to allow you to type in a specific packing when you need to.
When the standard packing is filled in by default, the result is identical to the result of typing in that same packing string by hand. This result then becomes a property of the stock involved in that order or stock operation, decoupled from the standard packing property of the product. Thus if you later change the standard packing, that change will have no effect on existing stock or transactions.
The standard bin ID identifies the standard bin or box or bay in which a product is stored inside a magazine. If the facility or street address is the location, and the magazine or shed is a sub-location, then the bin is a sub-sub-location. In Finale Inventory, storage location records are kept for the location and sub-location, but not for the sub-sub-location. If you move an item from one magazine to another, a record of that transaction is kept (and required for the DSMT report!). However if you move an item from one bin to another, or if you change the name of a bin, that level of detail is not tracked in Finale Inventory. Thus the standard bin is just a property of the product that is maintained as a useful piece of information for warehouse personnel to indicate the usual whereabouts of the stock for picking.
If you want to deactivate or activate a batch of products, you can import a spreadsheet with just two columns: Product ID an Status. The status fields in the rows should contain the word "Inactive" or "Active".
The manufacturer field is simply the name of the manufacturer, a Unicode string up to 20 characters long. Since transactions in the DSMT reports are grouped by product category and manufacturer, it is important that your manufacturer field values do not have typographical errors. The items in each group must match exactly. Items with the manufacturer "LIDU" will not match "LDU".
The manufacturer product ID is the product ID assigned by the manufacturer. The field can contain ASCII characters not including whitespace, up to 20 characters total. If you are using Finale choreography tools, the manufacturer product ID, if set, will identify the manufacturer provided simulation for that product type if it exists, which would be used as the default simulation for the product instead of a simulation constructed based on the description.
The manufacturer country is the country code, e.g. CHN or USA. It must be an exact match to the international standard country codes.
Like Std accounting cost, the weight per item is the weight of each item, written as an integer or floating point number with a period decimal point, no unit of measure, e.g., "0.025" not "0.025kg". The unit of measure is specified separately as the weight unit (see below).
Like weight per item, the NEQ is the net explosive quantity of each item, written as an integer or floating point number with a period decimal point, no unit of measure, e.g., "0.025" not "0.025kg". The unit of measure is specified separately as the weight unit (see below).
The weight unit is the weight unit of measure, either "kg" or "lb". If weight per it or NEQ per item is supplied but weight unit is left blank, then it is set to "lb" by default. The field is imported case insensitive. The accepted values for import are kilogram, kilograms, kg, pound, pounds, lb, and lbs.
As you add new custom fields or pricing fields, they will automatically appear in available to be imported list of fields.
What is the difference between Std. Buy Price, Std. Accounting Cost, and Supplier Price?

Students opt for comfort whether online or on campus
Morgan Jones, Broadcast Editor|April 28, 2021
Mart Production for Pexels
With students at home spending hours online for class, comfort has become a necessity. On campus students have also started following the comfortable clothing trends.
Bunny slippers delicately cover the feet as they shuffle across a floor. Wildly colored pajama bottoms are picked out in a crowd, accompanied by a relaxed slouch. But these slouches can also be accompanied by the softness of sweatpants or the comfortable hug of the good oversized sweatshirt.
Stress and school are joined hand in hand in the lives of many students, but one thing definitely makes it more bearable: doing it comfortably. This can mean many things, but can also include dressing in pajamas.
"I would wear pajamas every day if I could," senior Gabriel Alvarez said. "[It makes me] feel free."
Choosing a more comfortable approach to what to wear to school is not a new concept. For some, this way of dressing has been influenced by external factors.
"It's senior year and I've gotten lazy," senior Paxton Hulsey said.
But for others, they are treating this year like any other, fully intending to be comfortable for the most of it.
"I haven't changed [how I dress] this year, " senior on-campus student Kaden Rainey said. "I can see how it has changed the online students and what they wear, but I am an on-campus student. I just dress the same as any other year. Nothing new. I've always dressed this way. Comfortably."
But despite the overwhelming response towards dressing comfortably, there are some who still show out with style when given the chance.
"I like to express [myself] through [what I wear]," senior Araceli Galeana said. "Many trends in social media have influenced what I wear now. But I would still wear pajamas every day if I could since it is the most comfortable thing to wear at home."


helsinki - gain from 1 January in Finland in 2000 randomly selected unemployed no unemployment, but a basic income. It is a sum of 560 euros per month and it is not taxed and there are no conditions attached to, so the unemployed may optionally moonlighting.
The 2,000 people who will receive a basic income, do not know it yet. Beneficiaries hear this shortly before the New Year. These are people aged 25 to 28 years who had unemployment benefits in November. They should participate in the trial and may refuse. It is according to Helsinki for the first time that a country such basic income pays on this scale. The trial will last two years.
The Finnish government wants to see a trial or a basic income is more efficient than a benefit and whether the recipients to work more motivated. By the bureaucracy around benefits shrink many unemployed people would be reluctant to take up work, because there will then be deducted from the payment through taxes. Possible embarrassment which falls away to a basic income.
Moreover disappears much paperwork. The unemployed do not have to prove that he is seeking work and the benefits agencies do nothing to control more. If adopt the unemployed, he does it with no one to give up, because no conditions attached to the basic income.
Throughout the world there thinking about the basic income and are made plans to try out, such as the Netherlands, Canada and California. The Indian government is doing research on. In Switzerland rejected a large majority of voters earlier this year, the idea of a basic wage.

Woody Harrelson Had To Get High To Survive A 'Brutal Dinner' With Donald Trump
Andrew HusbandTwitterNews & Culture Writer
In Esquire's incredible new profile of actor Woody Harrelson, the subject talks about everything from missing out on the title role in Jerry Maquire to surviving a "brutal dinner" with Donald Trump and Jesse Ventura in 2002. The 58-year-old performer also, apparently, had been smoking so much that the interviewer, Lili Anolik, got a "contact high" from simply being in his presence. As fun as the entire piece is, though, it's Harrelson's recollection of that fateful dinner — and what he had to do to endure it — that's got people talking.
According to Harrelson, Ventura — the former pro-wrestler and Governor of Minnesota — invited him to tag along for a dinner at Trump Tower in 2002. Why? Because the businessman and reality TV star evidently wanted Ventura to be his running mate for the 2004 Democratic presidential ticket. It was a "brutal dinner" that lasted "two and a half hours":
The fun part was watching Jesse's moves. It would look like Trump had him pinned, was going to get him to say yes, and then Jesse would slip out at the last second. Now, at a fair table with four people, each person is entitled to 25 percent of the conversation, right? I'd say Melania got about 0.1 percent, maybe. I got about 1 percent. And the governor, Jesse, he got about 3 percent. Trump took the rest. It got so bad I had to go outside and burn one before returning to the monologue monopoly.
That's right… Harrelson got high in order to put up with having to listen to Trump talk for several hours straight. "I came up through Hollywood, so I've seen narcissists," he explained. "This guy was beyond. It blew my mind."
As unbearable as listening to Trump speak for so long (and so up close) was, though, Harrelson admitted that the would-be presidential candidate "did say one thing that was interesting." Specifically, when discussing his worth and the fact that he would die one day, Trump that when he dies, he knew for a fact that his "kids are going to fight over" whatever's left of his fortunes. "That was the one true statement he made that night," Harrelson concluded.

A website is a structured collection of pages. It is important to have a clear strategy when planning this structure so that your website pages will be logically connected with each other and visitors will be able to navigate your website easily.
A well-structured site means the visitor will not get lost while looking through it, and will always know where he is: he must be able to find the information he is looking for quickly. A badly-structured site confuses and frustrates the visitor and, in the worst case, leads to him abandoning the site altogether.
The Sitemap Creation window is where you plan your website's structure. You can add all your pages and organize them in varying levels. Once you have defined the structure of the Map with page titles, you can proceed to add the contents of the pages. Click repeatedly on the Next button to open the pages in the same order they have been added to the Map. Alternatively, you can use the Map to open the Program's window where you can work directly on a particular page: double-click on the item in the Map or select it and click on the Next button.
Most of the space in the Sitemap Creation window is taken up by the website Map tree, which is a schematic representation of the website Map you are creating.
A basic map is shown by default. It has a Menu folder that contains the Home page and 3 other pages. You can use the available commands to add levels, pages and separators to create the website Map you want.
If you add a built-in search engine (see Search Object), a Entry page, a Blog, a Members' Area (you only need one page set as a Locked page) or a Shopping cart, a folder called Special Pages will be added to your Map and it will include the following items: Search, Entry page, Blog, Login and Shopping Cart.
As well as showing the Map's tree structure, other useful information is given for the pages you add, such as the Page Title and the Tag 'Description'. This information is taken from the definitions given in the Page Properties window, which you will have previously filled in.
These commands cut, copy and paste the selected pages in the current project or to different projects. These commands are also available in the popup menu that opens if you click on the right-hand button of the mouse on the Map.
These commands expand and collapse the selected level to show/hide the pages in them.
Select this command if you want the current page or level to be hidden in the Map. If a level is hidden, then all the pages in it will also be hidden. A hidden page can be useful as a means to give further information on a particular topic, and it can be displayed by creating a link to it at the necessary point. Remember to create at least one link to a hidden page, otherwise it will not be accessible.
This command opens the Locked Page window, where you can lock a page by clicking on the Set this Page as Locked option. You must then specify which groups and/or individual users may access the Locked page, clicking on their names in the list that is displayed. Giving access to a group is not the same as giving access to all the users in a group: only in the first case, if new users are added to a group, they will have automatic access to locked pages if the group already has access. Go to the Access Management window in Step 1 - Website Settings | Advanced to create new Groups/Users.
This command is used to set a page as "under construction". The pages "under construction" are shown in the Map with a different icon. They are, obviously, incomplete pages and will be displayed in previews, but they will not be published online with the rest of the project, and neither will the items in the navigation menu that refer to them.
This option defines the selected page as the 404 Page. You can only have one 404 page in your project, and it must not be a page that is Special, Locked or Under Construction.
▪ invites the visitor to continue navigating the website.
WebSite X5 creates a .htaccess file which contains the instructions for setting up a custom 404 page.
This feature is only available for the Apache Web Server.
Set the properties for the selected page (in the Page Properties window) or level (in the Level Properties window) in the window that opens.
Access to the blog and/or e-commerce shopping cart can be restricted to registered users who have a login and password. Just select the special blog and/or e-commerce shopping cart pages in the map and set them as "locked" with the command.
▪ You can hide the home page in the map, but you should only do so if you are going to provide a link to it in other places in the website, for example in the header.
▪ If you want to create your own navigation menu, you can hide all the pages and levels in the Map: instead of selecting one page at a time, you can select the menu folder and click on the Hidden button.
▪ New Level [CTRL+L]: to add a new level to the menu. There are no limits to the number of levels you can add.
▪ New Page [CTRL+P]: to create a new page, which will be automatically added to the selected level.
▪ Separator: to include a separator, which will help distinguish the various items in the menu. A separator may be a space or a label, and is particularly useful in multi-column menus.
▪ Remove [DEL]: to delete the selected page, level or separator.
▪ Rename [F2]: to change the name of the selected home page, page, level or separator. Levels, pages and separators should be correctly named when they are added because the items in the menu are automatically included in the navigation menu, as titles for the individual pages and as names of the HTML files that correspond to each page, unless otherwise specified in the Page Properties window.
▪ Move up [CTRL+U] / Move down [CTRL+D]: to change to the order of pages, levels and separators, moving the selected item up or down.
You can also change the order to levels, pages and separators directly in the Map: select the item that you want to move, drag it to the required position and drop it into it. You can make multiple selections for levels, pages and separators using the CTRL and SHIFT keys.

AAI to pick 51% stake in Dholera International Airport
Construction of the much-awaited Dholera International Airport (DIAC) is likely to begin early next year with the Airports Authority of India (AAI) approving a decision earlier this month to take a 51% stake in the project. AAI will be inducted on the board of DIAC at the latter's upcoming board meeting in December said Jai Prakash Shivahare, MD, Dholera Industrial City Development. While AAI will hold 51%, the Gujarat government will hold 33% and the central government, through the Delhi Mumbai Industrial Corridor Development Corporation (DMICDC), will hold a 16% stake in DIAC. Construction of the first phase of the airport is expected to cost roughly 2,000 crore INR.
The airport will have a runway of 3,000 metres, a terminal building and other peripheral facilities, Shivahare said, adding that the construction is expected to begin sometime in Q1FY20. The first phase will be built to cater to a capacity of 1.1-5.5 million passengers annually which DIAC expects to reach in 2029. Shivahare said depending on the growth in passenger traffic, DIAC will build a second runway of 4,000 metres in the second phase, designed to cater to 6.5-12.5 million passengers annually, till 2035. The third phase of expansion will accommodate 13.8-25.8 million passengers annually, designed to last till 2044.
AAI is yet to decide on whether construction of the airport will be bid out via a PPP model or for a cash contract.
Shivahare added there is also a plan to build an aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) facility, given the lack of such facilities in the country. "Obviously, the first requirement is to have a functional airport for passenger movement. We will look at the setting up the MRO shortly thereafter," Shivahare said.

It is not very difficult for most people with good physical condition to complete the Inca Trail, but since the Inca Trail involves consumption for several hours, it is always good to be prepared and in good physical condition before doing this great adventure. There is also an alternative route that offers that is partly done by bicycle. But either way, you prepare by physically preparing before you make the road. Also, remember that there are a limited number of people who can start on the trail per day.Here you will learn all about the famous Inca trail. Ready? To start our blog, we will tell you some tips or interesting data of Inca Trail and finally we will give you a list of recommendations before your adventure.
In the months of January and March the rains are persistent mostly at night, the days are cloudy but there are nice and sunny days, if we have good luck. In the month of April, the rainy season ends little by little, and the days become warmer and more pleasant, with sporadic rains.
It should be noted that in the month of February, it is impossible to reserve the Inca Trail, given that the Ministry of Culture closes the road during this month, to maintain and improve the route.Now it is only your decision, to decide in which month to carry out the Inca Trail, and to enjoy your adventure, among the ancestral mountains, which were witnesses of the greatness of the Inca Empire.
Perform pre-preparation walks: A couple of months before the adventure, you can go out to do short walks near your home and each time add the distance and difficulty of the exercise. Monitor your heart rate and breathing. With that, the parents of their legs and lungs face each other to face the challenge of the Inca Trail. Do not forget to warm up before the exercise and a cooling at the end, also on each day of the walk.
Acclimation: it is important, many people who come to Machu Picchu live in low-altitude cities and can get to feel altitude sickness during the trip. That's why we recommend you stay in a higher city, such as Cusco, at least one day before the walk so that your body gets used to altitude, climate and oxygen levels.
Staying hydrated is crucial: The water during the previous training and the Inca Trail is fundamental. You will use approximately 2 liters of water on the first day so you should buy it in advance. During your workout, hydrate before, during and after exercise. Try to drink drinks that help you recover both water and minerals that your body loses in sweat.
Do not overload your backpack: The walk lasts 4 days and your back has to resist. Avoid carrying too many things in your travel backpack.Please remember, no matter how many days you are going to walk, the truth is that you will pass from one altitude to another and this implies that the weather will change; for this the most convenient thing will be to wear comfortable clothing and in small quantity.
Use the same mountain boots: that you will use for the trek to Machu Picchu. This will make it easier to walk, and many times new shoes or boots can be uncomfortable when you start using them. If possible, practice hiking that has the same difficulty as the Inca Trail. Practice and physical exercise are important.
The most important muscles: you will use all the path your legs, so it would be good to walk, run, and among other leg exercises. Try to walk uphill or climb stairs, because the Inca Trail is steep. Additionally, walk for long periods of time without having to stop, since the Inca Trail lasts 6 or 7 hours per day one day.
Other exercises: also help, but we insist that the legs are the key to travel the Inca Trail. Also, avoid unhealthy foods and smoking before doing the Inca Trail. This will make it easier not only to walk, but also to adapt to the altitude. Last but not least, rest for some time to get used to the altitude when you arrive in Cusco.
