Questo articolo affronta il tema della scelta preliminare di potenziali paesi di sbocco per le attività di internazionalizzazione, sulla base di diverse prospettive e, in particolare, sull'utilizzo e il trattamento di dati socio-economici, demografici e industriali che si presume siano correlati, direttamente o inversamente, all'attrattività dei paesi per i settori di attività di interesse. L'approccio è esemplificato con un semplice modello di supporto alle decisioni, articolato su più criteri, che può essere adattato ad altri temi manageriali critici, quali la classificazione di clienti o linee di prodotto.

Selecting the target countries, together with the selection of the entry mode, is one of the first and most important decisions of any company's internationalization strategy.
Not only the newly exporting companies, but also those which already have a presence abroad, could face the following problems:
These issues have been addressed by many authors. However, as far as we know, none of them suggests an integrated, flexible, and simple operational model that could concretely help the interested companies (especially, SMEs) in making a systematic assessment of the available alternatives. Most authors of international marketing books are either too qualitative (Douglas & Craig, 1995) or simplistic (Bennett, 1995; Hollensen, 1998), while writers in academic journals are often too complex and/or context-specific (Sakarya et al., 2007).
This paper provides a systematic approach for preliminarily addressing these issues in an explicit, coherent, and practical way: the proposed judgmental model can easily be applied to any industry sector, provided that the decision maker is knowledgeable about the most relevant characteristics of his/her business, and aware of the objectives and limits of the analysis.
Together with other related decisions (entry mode, partner selection, etc.) the choice of the target countries is a typical issue in which the firm faces the following situations and constraints:
It is therefore essential, especially for SMEs, to be very selective, and focus the limited resources on the most promising targets.
The following figure presents a simplified logical sequence of steps that should be conducted in order to identify a set of meaningful and feasible strategic alternatives, in terms of business-country-entry-partner, and it is clear that all these choices are strictly interrelated.
Figure 1 – Marketing research steps for country selection
Focusing our attention on the preliminary desk-based selection of the target countries (the final decision could only be made after an in-depth investigation, in the field, of the market and competitive context in the short-listed candidates), the following will be the major issues addressed here (see boxes identified with a dark background in the figure):
The final output of this process will therefore be the identification/selection of one to three foreign countries on which to conduct a more in-depth investigation.
Let us assume, for the moment, that you already selected the business of interest and that "exporting" is your preferred entry strategy (both decisions are obviously subject to subsequent in-depth evaluation, based also on the results of our preliminary analyses).
At least in principle, there are more than 200 potential target countries: it is obvious that we need a method for identifying, in a relatively simple and cheap way (i.e. based on desk research, probably via web), those on which we will conduct a more accurate analysis.
At this stage, our common sense suggestion is that you should be very selective, getting rid of most countries which, based on our judgment, previous knowledge and experience, do not seem to be particularly attractive. The important thing is to be explicit about the selected criteria and aware of their potential implications (for example, missed opportunities for having rejected groups of potentially interesting candidates).
This is certainly the more systematic, if not "scientific", approach for drastically reducing the number of potential target countries. For example, once you have collected the necessary data (see next section), you could decide that you do not want to consider countries which have a population and/or a per-capita GDP below certain levels.
If the candidate countries must satisfy, at the same time, more than one condition, and if the level of the thresholds is relatively high (compared to the average value for the chosen parameters), you will see that the number of "survivors" could easily drop to about 10% of the initial population of countries.
In any case, you can complement this approach with one or more of the qualitative criteria described below.
Your company could have had, in the past, some contacts with clients of other countries. If these experiences were promising, even though just occasional, they could represent a good starting point.
It is also possible that you are already present in some foreign countries. In this case, it could be meaningful to target countries which, for socio-economic, cultural, and political reasons, are similar to those in which you operate.
Another possibility is that some employees of your company come from foreign countries, or have had working experiences in these countries: they could be an interesting means for identifying appropriate information sources or getting in touch with prospective clients or partners.
Obviously, all these considerations are not "scientific" at all, but, together with the other criteria described below, they could help you at drastically reducing the number of alternatives to a manageable set of candidate countries.
It is very likely that your company is not the first one, in your industry sector, which decides to go abroad.
A criterion for identifying the target countries could be the presence of direct and successful competitors, on the assumption that their choices were based on in-depth analyses and research, and that their success is an indicator of market opportunities for new entrants.
On the other side, it is obvious that the presence of strong competitors could significantly limit these opportunities, and nobody could guarantee that your company would enjoy the same success. Furthermore, it is certain that you could not exploit the so-called first mover advantage.
However, the similarities between your business and the competitors' business would certainly prevent you from "jumping in the dark" with your decision of entering these markets.
In any event, if this is a criterion you want to use, in the "market & competitive analysis" phase it will be very important to collect appropriate information about the competitors, analyze their internationalization strategies, and identify the reasons of their successes or possible failures.
Many countries form among them free trade zones, customs coalitions and common markets, regulated by regional or sub-regional agreements. Focusing the attention on countries which are part of these agreements could be convenient: in general, entering one of them could facilitate the access to the other partners.
For example, we can mention the European Union, the EFTA (European Free Trade Association), the NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), the ALADI (Asociaciòn Latinoamericana de Integraciòn), the Mercosur (Mercado Comùn del Sur), etc.
Another possibility is focusing on "informal" groupings of countries: you certainly heard of "developed countries", "Asian tigers", NIC (Newly Industrialized Countries), etc. All these expressions refer to informal clusters of countries, identified based on statistical analyses conducted by international bodies, associations, research institutions, etc.
If you think that the parameters adopted for creating these groups are in some way correlated to the consumption of your products, it could make sense to target, first of all, the countries which belong to the groups.
Today it is much easier than in the past to collect macroeconomic and socio-demographic data which are published, often free of charge, by various institutions, both domestic and international. Just as an example, www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook.
Apart from some exceptional case, it is obvious that the selected variables (among those made available by these sources) are quite generic, and cannot be "business specific", i.e. directly related to the various industry sectors of potential interest, like, for example, number and strength of direct competitors.
However, it is easy to see that, depending on the sectors, some variables could reasonably be considered, at least to some extent, correlated to the market potential in the same sectors: for example, it is certain that "population" and "per-capita GDP", combined, can be relatively good predictors of market potential for many consumer goods, while "industrial production" is normally strongly correlated to the size of most industrial sectors in many countries.
In any event, the purpose of using a selection of these variables is just that of further screening and ranking the countries which passed the pre-screening phase, in view of a more in-depth investigation (in particular, field research) in the best ranked countries.
After having significantly reduced, with the pragmatic methods described above, the number of countries to be considered, you will still have a relatively large number of alternatives, probably between 10 and 30 (i.e. between 5 and 15% of the total population of countries): these alternatives will not be rank-ordered, since the various pre-screening methods do not provide ways of "measuring" or assigning a "score" to each country.
How to manipulate the available databases for the surviving countries, and how to rank these countries?
Here, again, the common sense suggestion is obviously that of being selective as much as possible, that is:
In this way, you will come out with a very manageable database (for example, 8 variables for 20 countries), ready for further manipulation and analysis.
Based on your industry knowledge, you will immediately realise that not all the selected variables are equally important as "predictors" of market attractiveness. It will therefore be important to attempt an estimate of their relative weight, for example in percentage points (making the overall importance of all the variables equal to 100) (nota)
As a matter of fact, the weighting of the variables confirms the importance of avoiding variables which are strongly correlated, since otherwise you would incur the risk of double counting, that is assigning a disproportionate importance to the same factor (expressed by the correlated variables).
It is practically certain that the selected variables will be expressed with different units of measurement (for example, millions of people, thousand dollars per-capita/year, etc.) and different scales.
In order to weight the data according to the relative importance of the corresponding variables, and arrive at an overall assessment of each country's profile (based on a joint evaluation of its performance on the different variables), it is therefore indispensable to translate all the different units of measurement into an homogeneous scale, i.e. using the same unit of measurement for all the variables, so that it will be possible to multiply the values of each variable (for the different countries) by the weight of that variable, and sum together the results obtained for each variable and each country, in order to obtain an overall "index of attractiveness" of the individual countries (nota)
This methodology will be clarified by the example that follows.
In order to exemplify the methodological approach described above, we will use a very simple model, which will produce a classification of 5 countries in terms of overall expected attractiveness, based on 4 variables
The objective will be the identification of the most interesting country (or countries), on which to focus the future in-depth market investigation with the available resources: especially for SMEs, it is indeed difficult, if not impossible, to conduct this investigation in several countries at the same time.
Let us assume the following:
In order to calculate the overall attractiveness of these countries, we need first to translate the actual values of the different variables into an homogeneous scale, released from the original units of measurement.
What we want is to discriminate as much as possible among countries, in order to avoid the risk of considering equally attractive countries that actually have a different profile.
Table I – Original data (hypothetical rounded values)
One of the most useful standardization methods, in this case, calculates the new values, for each variable, comparing the original values to the range of variation of the variable (nota)
: it will therefore be sufficient to subtract from the original values of each country, on a given variable (for example, 80 million people in Germany), the minimum value found in the database for this variable (5 million people in Slovakia), and divide the result (80 – 5 = 75) by the range between the maximum and minimum value of the same variable (170 in Brazil, less 5 in Slovakia = 165), obtaining the standardized value of 0,45 (that, for ease of presentation, can be multiplied by 100, and give 45) (nota)
For the variables negatively correlated to the market attractiveness ("average temperature", in this case: the higher the temperature, the lower the attractiveness), we will take the complement to 1 of the above calculation, and multiply again the result by 100 (nota)
All the results of these calculations on our initial database, easily performed by any electronic spreadsheet, are summarized in Table II: you will easily see that, due to the standardization method adopted, we will always have, for each variable, at least a "0" (the worst country or countries) and at least a "100" (the best country or countries).
Table II – Standardized data
Finally, based on the standardized data and the relative importance of the variables, we can calculate, in Table III, a weighted average index, which provides a synthetic evaluation of "attractiveness" (A) for each individual country.
Table III – Attractiveness Index and Country Rankings
For example, for calculating the overall attractiveness of Germany, we multiply its score of 70 on "per-capita GDP" by 40% (the relative importance of this variable) obtaining 28, its score of 42 on "young women" by 25% (obtaining about 10), its score of 45 on "population" by 15% (obtaining about 7) and, finally, its score of 85 on "average temperature" by 20% (obtaining 17): summing up these four products (28+10+7+17), we obtain the "weighted average score" of 62, that represents the index of attractiveness of this country (nota)
. Keeping the weight of the different variables constant, we perform the same calculations for all the other countries.
As you can see, the electronic spreadsheet automatically calculates also the "ranking" of the five countries, based on their index of attractiveness: in our simplified example, Japan and Germany are by far the most attractive countries, clearly detached from the others.
In this article we focused our attention on the decision about which countries to target, and the suggested methodologies for reaching that decision. However, it is important to emphasize that these methodologies are mainly based on the collection of secondary (and mostly generic) data and desk research: the final decision, together with the other important choice related to the entry mode, could only be made after further and more in-depth investigation, in the selected country, about many other and more business specific aspects.
If we were to make a decision, based only on the data presented in the illustrative model, about where to go to collect more business specific information, we would probably go to Japan. However, as with many other similar decision support models, their purpose in mainly that of helping us at clarifying our thoughts, making explicit the reasoning behind our decisions, and identifying areas or aspects worth of further attention.
For instance, in the illustrative model it is apparent that the first two countries (Japan and Germany) have a very comparable level of attractiveness, but we know very well that they are quite different from many other perspectives: the addition of other variables (such as, for example, the "physical" and/or "cultural distance" from the exporting country, which entails significant marketing and operational costs) could significantly alter our conclusions.
Finally, it is worth noting that the conceptual structure of the proposed multicriteria decision making model can be adopted for addressing other critical managerial issues, such as the classification of clients or product lines, i.e. whenever we need to assess the performance of multiple entities and, therefore, select among alternatives, based on multiple criteria. For example, the model could be very useful for classifying and managing different clusters of clients, based on variables such as overall purchase potential, actual purchases from the firm and related profitability, and average payment terms.

The Johor Royal Family and Entourage Grace Kampungstay@Teluk Buih as part of Kembara Mahkota Johor 2023
MERSING, 5 AUGUST 2023: The East Coast Economic Region Development Council's (ECERDC) latest, niche tourism destination, Kampungstay@Teluk Buih today receives its first royal guests.
Yang Amat Mulia Tunku Idris Iskandar Al-Haj, Tunku Temenggong Johor visited Kampungstay@Teluk Buih as part of the four-day Kembara Mahkota Johor 2023. It was the third "pit-stop" of the first day of the expedition.
Also present were Yang Amat Mulia Tunku Abdul Rahman Al-Haj Tunku Panglima Johor, YBhg. Dato' Dennis Muhammad Abdullah, Johor Menteri Besar, YAB Datuk Onn Hafiz Ghazi, Johor State Secretary YB Tan Sri Dato' Dr. Haji Azmi bin Rohani, Tuan Haji Mohammed Shakib bin Haji Ali, District Officer of Mersing, Mersing District Council President Mohd Norman bin Haji Noh and YBhg. Dato' Baidzawi Che Mat, Chief Executive Officer of ECERDC.
KampungStay@Teluk Buih which was completed in November last year provides an immersive experience in a village setting for tourists. The project, which involves the construction of 10 chalets, a multipurpose hall and restaurant has been handed over to Majlis Daerah Mersing (MDM) on 16 April 2023.
The royal entourage visited the villas and spent time watching mangrove tree planting near the villa's compound before visiting the exhibition area at Dewan Samudera where they were received by YBhg. Dato' Baidzawi Che Mat.
"KampungStay@Teluk Buih is now another "must visit" tourism destination in Mersing. This unique, resort-themed homestay set in idyllic village environment will enhance the tourism offering in Mersing. This project was developed as an activity centre or "staging base" to encourage tourists to interact with locals and participate in tourism activities and this has paved the way for the creation of more tourism-related entrepreneurial and employment opportunities in the surrounding areas," said YBhg. Dato' Baidzawi Che Mat
during his briefing to YAM Tunku Temenggong Johor at ECERDC's exhibition area. YBhg. Dato' Baidzawi also took the opportunity to share about ECERDC's other projects being undertaken in the Mersing District.
His Majesty Sultan Ibrahim Ismail ibni Almarhum Sultan Iskandar Al-Haj, the Sultan of Johor, later joined the entourage and watched "sukan rakyat" (folk sports) which was held near Café Kuntum at KampungStay@Teluk Buih.
Other ECERDC projects in Mersing include PETA Rainforest Discovery Centre (RDC), a One-Stop Centre for tourists and visitors to Endau-Rompin Johor National Park, Jemaluang Dairy Valley which is part of ECERDC's Dairy Valley initiative under agrofood@ECER as well as Endau-Mersing Fish Processing Park (EMFPP) which allows local players to participate in downstream fisheries activities.
Kembara Mahkota Johor 2023 makes a return this year after a three-year hiatus due to COVID-19 pandemic. The last time Kembara Mahkota was held was in 2019 where the royal family travelled close to 800 kilometres across 10 districts Johor to meet the people.

At some point it takes awhile for a good idea to come to you and then you wonder why in the world did I not think of this earlier. I had a few families calling to see if they had pictures of their family in the 2012 calendar. While I attempt to include as many as I can, sometimes there is just not room especially in the big featured pictures for each month.. So why not change a couple of pictures for the month the family comes to feature that family for their calendar. Wa La, I am now doing customized calendars. The Michael family got a shot of all the babies born this year in the featured picture for July plus a picture bonus picture that I will not reveal, but Jordan and Tim will enjoy it
So if you have a shot you want included or just want me to use a shot I took while you were here, I will insert it in your specific calendar when I order it. Takes no time at all, just give a call. Sorry to those that already ordered and this idea had not occurred to me. I have one more coupon for 30% off for this week, before I have to call their customer service line and ask them to recharge my coupon uses at Walgreens. You are only allowed to use each coupon 5 times, but I usually can talk a manager into reloading my uses. Who knows what next weeks coupon will be maybe more than 30 percent or maybe it will be down to a measly 20%

"I like being the underdog because it makes me more motivated!" Soo Chul Kim exclaimed.
You hear this line from every fighter matched up against stiff competition, but when this Korean prodigy says it, people tend to believe him. After all, Kim has made a name for himself by defying the odds multiple times and winning the ONE FC bantamweight title all before he can even legally pick up a bottle in most places.
After being thrown into the fire early in his career against guys like Andrew Leone, Gustavo Falciroli, and Leandro Issa, people started to doubt if this young Korean with a .500 record can ever fulfill his potential. Every time he faced top competition he was repeatedly counted out, but Kim made an impressive run and kept proving everyone wrong in the process. He stopped Shoko Sato who was 4 times more experienced than him at the time, then followed up with two even bigger wins. He took a decision win against one of Asia's top stars in Kevin Belingon, and then he brutally knocked out his former opponent and new UFC signee, Leandro Issa to claim the promotion's bantamweight title.
Time and time again, he proved that he could rise up against top competition, but then he was faced with an even bigger challenge on his last bout. Coming out of a year-long absence to recover from major injury to his shoulder that required surgery, he was tasked to take on one of the most highly regarded bantamweights in the world in Bibiano Fernandes.
He was already the crowned champion, but much like his past few fights, no one gave him a chance against one of the best fighters outside of the UFC. That never deterred Soo Chul before, and he didn't let it happen again this time. With most expecting him to get thoroughly dominated and submitted early by the world champion grappler, Kim survived the first few rounds of their bout without taking much damage.
"One phrase that describes my style is to 'Just go forward'. I tried to never stop moving." Kim explained as he talked about his gameplan against the talented grappler, "Takedown defense and elbows were my special plan, but his striking was better than I thought."
He was getting controlled on the ground early on with Fernandes' world class grappling, and with his defensive abilities on the feet being much better than he anticipated, Kim had began to lose majority of the earlier rounds. By the later rounds though, he started to turn the tide and wear down his opponent. He started fending off more takedowns, and each time he tried, Kim made him pay with those elbows. He began to take control of the striking exchanges late, but as the final bell rang on their 25 minute bout, it wasn't enough to win a decision.
"I was angry at myself and felt really sorry because I knew I could have fought better." Kim states as he talked about his emotional state even before the judges decision was announced, "I should've take him down first."
"He was much stronger than anyone who I have fought in my career. He was totally different, and truly one of the best bantamweight fighters in the world," he said as he gained respect for his opponent following their bout, "The long layoff from surgery didn't have any effect. I had been focused on how I would fight against Bibiano for a long time so nothing negative affected me."
He refused to give excuses for losing the earlier rounds, but was clearly upset knowing that a few more adjustments and he could've toppled the mammoth many thought he had absolutely no chance of beating.
It's been a month since his bout, and Kim has since gone back to his home country to train with that burgeoning stable of fighters coming out of Korea.
"I have been resting since my last fight, but I already started light training everyday. I still don't have any fights lined up yet, but I want to compete at ONE FC or ROAD FC in the beginning of the next year," he said as he talked about the two top promotions he's signed with.
"I have felt that One FC is a systematically well-organized promotion. All their staff are very professional and they have fighters from all over Asia. ROAD FC is also great promotion and many superstars have fought for them such as Melvin Manhoef, Sokoujou, Joachim Hansen, and others, but most fighters are Korean."
"Korean fighters have been really improving dramatically. Especially in my weight class, there are so many good fighters now."
Prospects such as Doo Ho Choi along with several established vets like Dong Hyun Kim and Chan Sung Jung make Korea one of the hotbeds for MMA talent in the region, but when asked why he thinks the UFC has yet to host a show in his home country, he's just as baffled as the rest of us. "I have no idea!", he answered followed with a hearty laugh.
As for which fighter people should keep an eye out for though, Kim had a firm response. "Definitely Min Jung Song is the fighter who has big possibility to be the next top Korean prospect. He just defeated Issei Tamura, an ex-UFC fighter in his last fight. I train with him sometimes and I can't beat him during sparring."
As he slowly works his way back into training with those beasts in his gym, Kim states that will be training with only one purpose, to keep gunning for Bibiano Fernandes. Kim truly believes he could've had that win with a smarter fight, and much like how he was able to get redemption from an earlier decision loss to a UFC prospect Issa, he wants a chance to prove he has the tools to defeat such a highly regarded fighter in Fernandes as well.
"My next goal is of course, to get revenge. Even if Bibiano goes up to featherweight, I will try to go up to featherweight too. I really want to fight him again!" he exclaims, "I would like to thank all those people who always cheer for me, and I just want to say that I, Soo Chul Kim, is just beginning now, and I will show you all more good fights!

This is the tool to make sure all added to Odoo files have the correct names. This goal is reached by forcing users to confirm or update attachment names on upload or/and automatic assignment of codes to all newly created documents.
Configurable file codes (tags)
The app allows preparing the list of codes that might be assigned by default or automatically to attachment titles. In this way, files might be comfortably distinguished by tags included in names in brackets. For example, [crm] [2023] offer.doc
Manual or automatic tags in attachment titles
The moment of updating or confirming file titles is flexibly configurable. You may make it fully automatic, force users to select codes and update names manually, or combine approaches
Automatic attachment tags
Turn on the option "Assign attachment codes automatically" to add tags to a file when it is uploaded without user interaction. If a linked record satisfies any of the default rules, its code will be included in an attachment title.
The exception will be when a user is forced to manually confirm titles and codes
Update file names for Odoo's attachment box
Turn on the option "Attachment Box: Change Attachments" to ask a user to update titles and codes in Odoo's attachment boxes. Then, a popup with the table of names and default codes will be shown each time a file is uploaded into Odoo mail threads
Update file names for Odoo's inline messages
Turn on the option "Inline Composers: Change Attachments" to ask a user to update titles and codes in Odoo's inline messages. If turned on, a user will be asked to assign titles for files form logged messages and notes
Modify attachment codes for fields and the composer
Turn on the option "Many2many Widget: Change Attachments" to ask a user to modify attachments' names when adding those to many2many binary fields (including files in Odoo message composers). In this way, the wizard to assign titles and tags will be shown on upload, and any change in those might be introduced
Edit document titles in file managers
Turn on the option "File Upload Views: Change Attachments" to ask a user to confirm file codes and titles while uploading to file manager interfaces (that use the file uploading service): Odoo Enterprise Documents, Cloud Storage Solutions, HR Fleet, etc.
Default or custom titles
In all manual scenarios, users will be able to confirm a final name or apply any changes to each title and tags.
According to the current Odoo Apps Store policies:
- every module bought for version 12.0 and prior gives you access to all versions up to 12.0.
- starting from version 13.0, every module version should be purchased separately.
- disregarding the version, purchasing a tool grants you a right to all updates and bug fixes within a major version.
Take into account that the faOtools team does not control those policies. For all questions, please contact the Odoo Apps Store representativesâ directlyâ.
The easiest approach is to use the Odoo store built-in workflow:
1. Open the module's page and click the button Deploy on odoo.sh
2. After that, you will be redirected to the GitHub page. Login to your account and click 'Create a new repo' or use the existing one. Please, make sure, that your repository is private. It is not permitted to publish the apps under the OPL-1 license. If necessary, create a new repo for your Odoo.sh project
3. Then, go to odoo.sh and click on the deploy button, submit the decision in the pop-up window and click 'Continue'. The action will trigger the installation process.
These steps would install the app for your project production branch. If you wanted to deploy the apps for other branches or update the module, you should undertake the following actions:
1. Upload the source code for the app from the Odoo store
2. Commit the module to a required GitHub repository. Make sure that none of the app folders/files are ignored (included in the .gitignore of your repo). Repositories are automatically created by odoo.sh, which might add by default some crucial items there (e.g. /lib). You should upload all module directories, subdirectories, and files without exceptions
3. Deploy a target branch of the odoo.sh project or wait until it is automatically built if your settings assume that.
Unzip the source code of the purchased tools in one of your Odoo add-ons' directories;
Re-start the Odoo server;
Turn on the developer mode (technical settings);
Update the apps' list (the apps' menu);
Find the app and push the button 'Install';
Follow the guidelines on the app's page if those exist.
Yes, sure. Take into account that Odoo automatically adds all dependencies to a cart. You should exclude previously purchased tools.
A red/orange warning itself does not influence features of the app. Regretfully, sometimes our modules do not pass standard automatic tests, since the latter assumes behavior which is in conflict with our apps goals. For example, we change price calculation, while standard Odoo module tests compare final price to standard algorithm.
So, first of all, please check deployed database features. Does everything work correctly?
If you still assume that warning influences real features, please contact us and forward full installation logs and the full lists of deployed modules (including core and third party ones).
No, we distribute the tools only through the official Odoo apps store
Regretfully, we do not have a technical possibility to provide individual prices.
No, third party apps can not be used on Odoo Online.
Yes, all modules marked in dependencies are absolutely required for a correct work of our tool. Take into account that price marked on the app page already includes all necessary dependencies.
The price for our modules is set up in euros. The Odoo store converts prices in others currencies according to its internal exchange rate. Thus, the price in US Dollars may change, when exchange rate changes.
Configure attachment names defaults and rules
Attachment code: defaults and auto rules
List of attachment tags
Turn on to ask users for a file name and tags' confirmation in Odoo's attachment box
Attachment names: manual or automatic update
Turn on to ask users for a file name and tags' confirmation for Odoo's many2many fields (including message composers)
Turn on to ask users for a file name and tags' confirmation in file interfaces
Example of tags in the cloud storage solutions DMS
Example of tags in the Odoo Enterprise Documents
Odoo demonstration databases (live previews)
For this app, we might provide a free personalized demo database.

Ann Coulter sparks outrage over 'Hindu business' jab at Nikki Haley, Vivek Ramaswamy
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Conservative author and commentator Ann Coulter is facing backlash after targeting Nikki Haley and Vivek Ramaswamy in a post on X, formerly Twitter, earlier this week.
What she wrote: Coulter suggested that Haley and Ramaswamy — Indian American candidates vying for the GOP presidential nomination, alongside engineer Hirsh Vardhan Singh — are "involved in some Hindu business." Without elaborating, she said it was "not our fight."
Nikki and Vivek are involved in some Hindu business, it seems. Not our fight.
— Ann Coulter (@AnnCoulter) August 24, 2023
More from NextShark: Rebel Wilson slammed online for Dubai trip months after coming out
Background: Coulter made the post amid the first Republican presidential debate, which was hosted by Fox News on Wednesday night. Among its highlights was Haley and Ramaswamy's fiery exchange over the subject of U.S. aid to Ukraine in its ongoing war against Russia.
The facts: Hinduism was not mentioned during the debate. Ramaswamy is a Hindu Cincinnati-born entrepreneur, while Haley, who was born in Bamberg, South Carolina, converted to Christianity from Sikhism.

Reactions: Coulter's words quickly drew accusations of racism. One X user called her a "racist troglodyte."
"Yes, I'm sure Sikh turned Christian Nikki Haley has 'Hindu business'. Thank you for this braindead take," another wrote.
"Everyone shocked that Ann Coulter said something racist hasn't been paying very close attention," commented another.

Ramaswamy's response: Ramaswamy's team has responded to Coulter's comment. In a statement to The Hill, communications director Tricia McLaughlin said Coulter "can tweet whatever she wants to" while pointing out Ramaswamy's support from Christian voters.
"Vivek has traveled this country and is very grateful for the warm support he has received from Christian voters across the country," McLaughlin said. "Vivek shares and lives by the same Judeo-Christian values that this nation was founded on — and that the way Vivek lives his family life offers a positive example for their own children and grandchildren."
Tangent: The New York Times is also getting flak for publishing an opinion piece co-authored by Coulter. The article, which long-time Times columnist Frank Bruni and political consultant Stuart Stevens co-wrote, analyzed the recent debate.

Mississippi Auditor's report suggests state agencies misspent federal funds
JACKSON, Miss. (WCBI) – A Mississippi Auditor's report on Federal funds suggests state agencies misspent millions of Federal dollars.
Shad White's Office released its Single Audit of Federal Funds covering the fiscal year from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.
During this period, Mississippi was receiving stimulus money from the Coronavirus Relief Fund.
Some of the more notable findings include the Auditor's contention that the Mississippi Department of Employment Security paid $473 million in improper or fraudulent unemployment payments, including payments to prisoners.
MDES also reportedly spent stimulus money on equipment unrelated to combating COVID-19, including buying Chinese-made drones to be used in workforce training that Congress had banned Federal agencies from buying due to potential security risks.
The Division of Medicaid was also singled out for providing benefits to possibly ineligible recipients, including two individuals who reportedly owned multi-million dollar homes, but were receiving Medicaid benefits.
White also points out several state agencies, including the Department of Human Services, who failed to monitor spending by sub-recipients – people or agencies that they fund to run programs for them.
The full report can be found here.

Kobunsha Shinsho Genso no Miyako, Kamakura (Kamakura, an Illusory Capital - Tracing Its History as a City)
198 pages, paperback pocket edition
May 18, 2020
Kamakura is a strange "former capital" of Japan. It is a small city with a population of about 170,000, but it is one of the main tourist sites in the Greater Tokyo Area, being visited by about twenty million tourists annually. Visitors to Kamakura are attracted by the atmosphere of a former capital that gives a vague sense of the weight of history and by its appearance, which is difficult to define. But today there are almost no structures in Kamakura that go back to the Kamakura period, and many of the buildings and much of the scenery that people feel to be evocative of a "former capital" date from modern times. Why, then, is Kamakura endowed with the appearance of a "former capital"? The aim of this book is to clarify how the appearance of the "former capital" of Kamakura evolved by tracing the history of the city of Kamakura from the Palaeolithic period down to the present day.
Chapter 1 traces the history of Kamakura from the Palaeolithic period to the first part of the Kamakura period. Ever since people first appeared in Kamakura twenty thousand years ago, settlements gradually formed, chiefly in its current outlying areas. District offices were established here in the Nara period, and many people began to live in its environs, as a result of which Kamakura became a city. And with the establishment of the shogunate by Minamoto no Yoritomo Kamakura became a "warrior capital."
Chapter 2 deals with Kamakura's history from the middle of the Kamakura period to the latter part of the Muromachi period. The Hōjō family, who took effective control of the Kamakura shogunate, improved Kamakura's infrastructure, starting with its roads, and warriors proceeded to open up the valleys. Even after the fall of the Kamakura shogunate, the Muromachi shogunate and warriors of the Sengoku period continued to attach importance to Kamakura, considering it to symbolize the fact that it was the rulers of Kamakura who were the legitimate rulers of the Kantō region.
Chapter 3 examines the early modern period. In the early modern period, the shogunate was located in Edo, and Kamakura was no longer a political center. Instead, it became a tourist town, and new oral traditions about historical events of the Kamakura period were also born. Kabuki and ukiyoe set in medieval Kamakura were another factor that drew tourists to Kamakura.
Chapter 4 deals with the period from modern times to the present day. From the Meiji era onwards, Kamakura became a health resort blessed with many historical sites, large numbers of villas and luxurious residences were built, and many writers, attracted by images of the Kamakura period, took up residence in Kamakura. And while it is a fashionable seaside tourist resort, its appearance as a quiet, retro town took root.
On the basis of the above, this book shows that the "former capital" Kamakura that we recognize today is not the former capital as it existed during the Kamakura period, but is a grand assemblage of legends and attractions—or "illusions"—to which people fascinated by the former capital have added down through the ages. Information about historical figures and events since ancient times is embedded in place-names and oral traditions in Kamakura, and vestiges of the activities of people who have loved the former capital of Kamakura down to the present day have accumulated over time. I conclude that fragments of such various memories have intermingled to shape the appearance of a "former capital."

Morgan Schneiderlin, the core of a raging (until their loss to City, anyway) Southampton team and one of the league's best central midfielders, will miss the match at the Emirates on Wednesday due to a problem with his adductor:
Koeman confirms @SchneiderlinMo4 is out of Wednesday's game, and is having a scan on his injured adductor today. #saintsfc
— Southampton FC (@SouthamptonFC) December 1, 2014
The adductor, wikipedia tells me, (and hey, I can't argue with them, right? right?) is the muscle (there are a few) on the inside of the thigh the brings the leg back towards the center of the body, sort of vaguely near the groin, so not quite sexy enough, I guess.
Either way, this is bad news for the Saints, who couldn't do much against City after the Frenchman had to leave and halftime, conceding to a 10-man Citizens side. His absence should make the jobs of a depleted Arsenal midfield a little bit easier in what is turning out to be a pretty gosh-darned important match against Ronald Koeman's fellows.

Special guests announced for upcoming Friars Aylesbury event at Waterside Theatre
and live on Freeview channel 276
Blancmange has been added to the Thompson Twins show at Aylesbury's biggest theatre on 3 September.
Tom Bailey from the Thompson Twins will be performing the entirety of the album 'Into The Gap' for the first time in his career.
Blancmange have a long history with Aylesbury, having first headlined the famous Friars club on 16 June 1983.
Back then the band included original members Neil Arthur and Stephen Luscombe and David Rhodes who would go on to collaborate with musical royalty: Peter Gabriel, and Paul McCartney, and many other 80s stars.
Blancmange first broke through in the early 80s with their mix of synthesizers and surrealism.
Which could be heard in their groundbreaking singles, 'Feel Me', 'Living On The Ceiling' and 'Blind Vision'.
Other massive hits included of 'Waves' and a cover of Abba's 'The Day Before You Came'.
Friars describes Blancmange as a band that was always willing to change and adopt new styles within their electronic framework.
Since illness forced Stephen to stop touring or recording after 2011's Blanc Burn, the band's evolution has continued at a rapid pace with a new album being released almost every year with Arthur at the helm, including 2021's Commercial Break.
Friars organisers say, that as the band approaches their 20th album, Blancmange's humour, surreal lyrics and the bitter-sweet quality of their songs remain.
The music ranges from ambient, analogue dreamscapes to spoken word observation and lonesome atmospherics, to up-beat minimalist synthesiser pop songs, often delivered with a slightly crazed smile.
Many of the world's most famous artists have expressed their love of Blancmange in the past including Moby.
The legendary producer said: "Listening to Blancmange obsessively. Probably the most under-rated electronic act of all time."
John Grant added: "Blancmange have been a part of the soundtrack to my life ever since 'Happy Families' was released."
Ticketing information can be found on the Ambassador Theatre Group website here and on www.seetickets.com.
More information on Blancmange can be found on the band's website here.

Several studies showed an essential role for VGCCs in tissue development, such as cartilage development and inactivation or inhibition of VGCCs in stem cells resulted in imperfect chondrogenesis, suggesting that VGCC might have a critical role in differentiation. to be the best therapy to treat these disorders. Importantly, MSCs, are undoubtedly the best for regenerative medicine because of the limited immune modulation and adequate tissue repair. Moreover, MSCs have the potential to migrate towards damaged area, which is definitely regulated by numerous factors and signaling processes. Recent studies have shown that extracellular calcium (Ca2+) promotes the proliferation of MSCs, and thus can assist in transplantation therapy. Ca2+ signaling is definitely a highly flexible intracellular signal that contains several components such as cell-surface receptors, Ca2+ channels/pumps/exchangers, Ca2+ buffers, and Ca2+ detectors, which collectively are essential for the appropriate SHR1653 functioning of stem cells and thus modulate their proliferative and regenerative capacity, which will be discussed with this review. only specific cells have the potential to be reprogrammed into iPSCs. Therefore, iPSCs may not be the ultimate candidate for transplantation therapy[42]. Also, additional ethical concerns remain if human being iPSCs could be used in the generation of the embryo, germ cells, human being ITGA8 clones[43]. Thus, in spite of the recent development, additional study is needed to conquer some of SHR1653 these issues. Although various factors and signaling mechanisms are required for self-renewal and differentiation of stem cells, explaining all of them is usually beyond this review. Therefore, in this review, we will focus on essential and significantly less noticed factors, such as Ca2+ and other divalent cations Ca2+ signaling, and Ca2+ channels in stem cell functions and regulation. CA2+ AND INTRACELLULAR CA2+ STORAGE Ca2+ is the most crucial element in cells as it is an important intracellular secondary messenger. Evolution has utilized Ca2+ to bind to various biological macromolecules, which makes it unique that is able to effectively regulate the concentration of free Ca2+[44]. Ca2+ modulates a diversity of cellular functions such as transcription, apoptosis, cytoskeletal rearrangement, immune response, growth, proliferation and differentiation, maintenance of pluripotency, and self-renewal of stem cells[45]. Ca2+ is usually a highly adaptable intracellular signal, and depending on the source, a Ca2+ signal may lead to opposing functions such as proliferation and cell death. Another important aspect of Ca2+ signaling is usually that it can trigger the response in microseconds (exocytosis at synaptic endings), to milliseconds (as observed in muscle contraction), and in minutes to hours (gene transcription and cell proliferation)[46]. One way it can control such diverse function is usually by modulating the spatial and temporal Ca2+ SHR1653 signals, SHR1653 which could be highly localized or widespread. Cells store intracellular Ca2+ in various organelles such as the Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, nucleus, lysosomes, and endoplasmic reticulum (ER). These individual Ca2+ stores are essential in modulating different functions, mechanism(s), and for the exchange of ions with other Ca2+ pools. For example, Ca2+ in the sarcoplasmic reticulum act as a rapidly mobilizable reservoir, mitochondrial Ca2+ is usually a crucial dynamic regulator of metabolism, and trans-Golgi network Ca2+ store is usually involved in the formation of secretory granules[47]. Furthermore, different intracellular organelles release sequestered Ca2+ using various Ca2+ mobilizing messengers and receptors such as ER use inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3)-IP3 receptor and cADPR-ryanodine receptors (RyRs) while acidic endosomes SHR1653 and lysosomes use nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP) and two-pore channels (TPCs) channels[48] that modulate various cellular functions (Table ?(Table22). Table 2 Calcium signaling toolkit the transient receptor potential (TRP) channels (TRPCs)/Orais, and purinergic receptors that are essential for Ca2+ diffusion. Several studies showed an essential role for VGCCs in tissue development, such as cartilage development and inactivation or inhibition of VGCCs in stem cells resulted in imperfect chondrogenesis, suggesting that VGCC might have a critical role in differentiation. Moreover, Members of the TRP channel superfamily also showed their involvement in chondrogenic differentiation of MSCs by activating the Sox9 pathway[51]. MSCs do express the L-type VGCCs and decreases in Cav1.1.

There were no casualties among the Joint Forces personnel as a result of shelling.
The so-called "court" of the "DNR" sentenced a resident of the occupied territory to 14 years in a high-security prison allegedly "for espionage in favor of the Ukrainian security service". This was said in the report of the fake "Prosecutor Generalˈs Office of the "DNR". This refers to citizen Stavtsev, who is charged with "espionage", "organization of the terrorist community and participation in it. The "DNR" stated that Stavtsev periodically came to the territory of the "DNR" in June-October of 2017, allegedly, "on instructions from foreign intelligence, collected information, taking photos of objects of interest to the SBU; the accused send the collected materials to the Ukrainian secret services via the Internet".

Linda Steider - Steider Studios, Art Photography
The more time I spend outside in nature, the more I want to be there. I want to capture everything I see with my camera so you can see it too. Something spiritual combined with luck and circumstance lead me to wildlife viewing opportunities, mostly in the Columbia River Gorge. I feel incredible gratitude for each gift of a photograph that I receive.
I've sold my work since I was 16 years old, starting with macrame tie-dyed belts at the Rose Bowl Swap Meet back in the 60's. I also sold them to my high school teachers, neighbors and relatives. I couldn't stop making them. To this day I can't stop making things, but I'm mostly in the field with my camera now.
I've taken pictures since I was ten when I received a Kodak Instamatic camera for my birthday. I used my photography as studio reference material for 25 years until friends told me that my photos were good enough to 'show'. I hope you think so too.
My ultimate goal is sharing nature with people who can't go where I go to see the magnificence of our natural world. Not just shut ins, wheelchair bound, too infirm or too young, but also those that spend all their time at work or at home taking care of others. I want to share how spectacular nature is, in our back yard and beyond.
I have many images available for prints on paper, metal and canvas as well as all-occasion greeting cards. You can order prints in all standard sizes on any media. See more of my work on my website and social media. Just look for Steider Studios

Ashley Nelson - Brush and Saw Studio, Watercolor and Wood
My grandmother first introduced me to watercolors when I was no more than two years old. She herself is a world renowned painter and leather worker and she taught me the finer details of drawing and painting as I grew older.
I love to create scenes of nature whether it involves a landscape or an animal. My inspiration comes from the beauty around me and I often find myself absorbed by every last detail while I'm on a hike or driving down the Gorge. I also enjoy farm scenes. I grew up on a farm and love the colors and animals you can find in the country. Watercolor is my primary medium and offers both a challenge and feeling of wonder. There is something magical about the letting paint mix on paper and embracing the end result.
I work in my studio in White Salmon, WA on my pear orchard. The Columbia River Gorge is ultimate place to seek inspiration. From its steep, mountainous walls, its mighty volcanoes, and colorful, ever-changing skies I will always have something to paint.
I am originally from Renton, WA but I have lived in Pullman, WA and Kalamazoo, MI. The Gorge is my home now.

Sarah Hui - Truly Sarah Ceramics, Pottery
Born and raised in Oregon City, Oregon, Sarah Hui fell in love with ceramics in college. This love led her to a Bachelors of Science in Art, from the University of Oregon. After working for 10 years as a technical illustrator she is coming back to her love of ceramics, and is living her dream working full-time creating art out of her White Salmon, Washington home in the Columbia River Gorge. Sarah is most excited by the intersection of art and function – how it draws the user into the art – how a beautifully crafted functional piece will be enhanced, itself, by common everyday activities. She creates most of her forms on the potter's wheel, and then uses carving, painting and sgraffito to manipulate surfaces of functional pieces. It's her greatest hope to bring joy into the lives of those who interact with her art.

Living in the heart of the gorge is an amazing playground for my daughter and I to soak up the breathtaking and beautiful nature around us.
I hope you express yourself in wearing each piece as much as I enjoyed making it.Follow or contact Zen Lotus Design on Facebook, Instagram or zenlotusdesign.weebly.com
Nick Miles - Outrageous Iron Metal Art
Seeing joy and happiness when people say my work is beautiful is what keeps me going. I was born and raised in the beautiful Columbia River Gorge. I love to create scenes of wildlife and activities around the Gorge and beyond. I've been playing around with plasma cutters since 1985; but in 1999 realized my potential with making art, after being inspired by a piece I admired. I thought to myself, "Wow, where have I been? I can do this"...and the rest is history. I work out of my studio in The Dalles, where I have been since I began making Metal Art in 1999.
