US businesses with key operations beyond the mature markets of North America and Europe are most optimistic about growth. Of those with operations in emerging markets, about three-quarters expect businesses in those regions to expand, according to PwC's 15th Annual Global CEO Survey. The world is turning to the East, and consumer goods companies—just like other sectors that ultimately depend on purchasing power and attractive demographics—are paying attention.
It's been 10 years now since Goldman Sachs' Jim O'Neill first coined the acronym "BRICs" in his November 2001 research paper, "The World Needs Better Economic BRICs." O'Neill's forecast of the importance of these markets was prescient. For example, even after their advances over the past decade, China, India, and Russia are predicted to triple spending power by 2018, and Brazil is not far behind, according to a recent report by Business Monitor International.1
While South Africa, by most accounts, has become a fifth member of the BRICS (signified by the capital "S"), these countries no longer sufficiently represent the rise of emerging markets. Global gross domestic product (GDP), factoring in purchasing power parity, now has reached about a 50/50 split between the developed economies and emerging economies. In fact, for the first time since the dawn of the Industrial Age, the global economic engine is being powered by Southern Hemisphere nations.2
Moreover, in the aftermath of the financial crisis and subsequent Great Recession, the emerging markets as a whole—not the world's debt-ridden developed markets—have been the most resilient in the face of global distress. As Chief Economist and Leader of PwC's Emerging Markets practice Harry Broadman puts it, "Going through the financial crisis, the most resilient economies—measured by GDP or trade volumes—have been the emerging markets."
Broadman made this comment at PwC's annual Global Retail and Consumer Leadership Conference held recently in New York. He moderated the session "A BRIC and Beyond," which examined the notion that, while the BRICS still serve as a proxy of sorts for any emerging markets discussion, there is much going on beyond the BRICS that business leaders should know about.
Besides Broadman, the panel included Michael Tangney, vice chairman of Colgate-Palmolive; Ricardo Neves, PwC's retail and consumer leader in Brazil; John Wilkinson, PwC's retail and consumer leader in South Africa; and Adnan Akan, PwC's retail and consumer leader in Turkey. In the following, we present highlights of their discussion.
John Maxwell
Global Retail and Consumer Leader

Something funny happened to developing markets as they continued to "emerge": They became the engines of global economic growth. India, China, Brazil, and many other countries are undergoing the kind of economic transformation that South Korea, Japan, and the nations of Europe experienced during the post-World War II boom. Economic progress in emerging markets is happening at an accelerated pace due partly to advances in technology, sound economic policymaking, and reduction in poverty as a result of health, education, and other social reforms.
In fact, from 1996 to 2010, emerging markets countries grew at more than twice the rate of developed countries—about five percent versus two percent annual GDP growth, respectively. Even more impressive is that, recently, income disparity between certain emerging markets and developed markets is declining rapidly.
When we speak of emerging markets, just what countries are we talking about? It depends on whom you ask: The FTSE Group identifies 22 emerging markets, split between "advanced" and "secondary." Standard & Poor's, which rates the sovereign debt of 126 different countries, classifies 19 of them as emerging markets. Perhaps not surprisingly, the ubiquitous success of the term BRICS has spawned a whole new set of alphabet-soup-like terms for different groupings of emerging markets. One is the EAGLEs, defined as the 10 emerging and growth-leading economies. (See Figure.) Others are the 12 countries of the Big Emerging Markets (BEM), and the rather unwieldy CIVETS, which includes Colombia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Egypt, Turkey, and South Africa.
No matter how they are sliced and diced, most emerging markets will continue to enjoy growth that dwarfs that of the developed markets. The International Monetary Fund and the World Bank project that, in 2025, the pace of growth in emerging markets still will be double that of developed markets.
What surprises many, though, is the precise nature of this growth. Much of it will result from what's called South-South commerce3 as opposed to the more familiar North-South commerce, which is advanced countries investing in developing countries to make products cheaply and then exporting predominantly to developed countries. "There is a tremendous amount of commerce that is taking place among emerging markets," said Broadman. "In 1970, South-South trade was about seven percent of world trade. Today, it is 20 percent of world trade." That means that the usual suspects looking for market share in emerging markets—multinationals from developed countries—have an additional source of competition in successful emerging markets brands.
This sea change in the structure of the global economy has ushered in a new era of South-South capital investment as well. In the past, the transparency and liquidity of the US capital market proved an enormously strong lure for many global companies, no matter where they were based. While the US still is one of the globe's largest recipients of foreign direct investment, the growth of South-South foreign direct investment flows has taken off. "If you look at where foreign direct investment out of emerging markets goes—the multinational corporations from these emerging markets—one-third of their foreign direct investment is taking place in other emerging markets," according to Broadman.
The companies that thrive in emerging markets often tend to be the pioneers. Colgate, for example, can lay claim to a century-long legacy of overseas operations—not to mention customers in 200 countries today.
When Colgate vice chairman Mike Tangney was asked about the company's long-time success in Latin America and Asia, he explained that when he arrived in Colombia in the late 1970s after time spent at several other international Colgate locations, he found a comparably strong Colgate operation in the city of Cali. Tangney quizzed several "in-the-trenches" managers in Colombia, trying to understand their secret. They all told him the same thing: Virtually the entire management team had been in place for nearly two decades, getting to know the lay of the land. Thus, whenever asked to account for Colgate's success in perceived risky environments, Tangney always responds: "Consistency of management, a willingness to take the ups and downs, persistence, and long-term vision."
John Wilkinson cited the Shoprite Group of Companies, Africa's largest food retailer, as another company bold enough to look to emerging markets ahead of other companies. Today, the company has more than 1,500 stores in 16 countries across Africa. "Shoprite is very interesting because they are seen as pioneers in Africa," Wilkinson said. "It's exciting to talk to their management about the challenges and opportunities in Africa."
But for companies with no presence or just nascent operations in emerging markets, what good is talk of being a corporate pioneer in 2012 when consumers all over the world use mobile devices; more than a billion people can access the Internet; and millions enter the ranks of the middle class every year? The irony is that despite an ever-smaller and more interconnected world, there still are many opportunities to break new ground. Three key C-suite attributes can help ease the transition: a "taste for risk," in Tangney's words; a willingness to disregard conventional wisdom about emerging markets; and a commitment to being there for the long haul.
According to Tangney, there is a value proposition paradox at work in some African countries that many companies without experience there can't appreciate. While some consumer packaged goods companies are reluctant to build businesses in relatively poor countries, assuming that they can sell products only very inexpensively, Tangney said that, on the contrary, some of these consumers are willing to pay a premium.
"Even though consumers may have minimal purchasing power, the value of what Colgate sells to them is greater than the value in developed markets," Tangney said. "When I go into homes in Soweto, South Africa, I ask the question, 'Why do you buy what you buy?' And they say: 'The health of my family is important. I am not going to buy the cheapest product.' We can, in fact, command a premium price." But companies must be prepared for poor quarters, poor years, and just about everything in between. "Over the years, we've dealt with chaos, civil insurrection, financial disruption," Tangney said. "If you're looking for a sure thing, emerging markets are not the way to go. You need a taste for risk and a tolerance for ambiguity."
Unilever is another consumer products company embracing the opportunities in emerging markets while being aware of the risks. Shifting much of its business to new markets will mean a lot of changes, as Unilever CEO Paul Polman explained in an interview for PwC's 14th Annual Global CEO Survey, published last year: "Within 10 years, 70 percent of our business will come from the Far East," Polman said. "That shift eastward has tremendous implications for our company's structure and culture. The values at the heart of our company certainly won't change, but our culture and business model will need to evolve to reflect a changing customer demographic."
Other consumer goods CEOs clearly share the same view: According to the survey, 57 percent anticipate that they'll need to make strategic changes to capitalize on the increasing prosperity of consumers in emerging markets. One of these CEOs is Bob McDonald, Chairman of the Board, President and CEO of US-based Procter & Gamble (P&G). He explained to PwC just how committed P&G is to emerging markets, despite the risks. He told us: "We currently have 20 new factories under construction around the world—19 in developing markets and one in a developed market, which is the US."4
Companies with the DNA to stake a claim today in emerging markets may find large swaths of them still open for penetration. Brazil, for example, is a huge economic success story, but its relative insularity still scares off some foreign companies. "Brazil has been an economy that, in some ways, has been very closed, even when compared with other emerging markets," said panel member Ricardo Neves. "Historically, we have always been bureaucratic and put a lot of fences around the internal markets." But those regulations will inevitably loosen, because as Neves said, "There's a lot of discussion about lower prices and better-controlled inflation if we were more open to competition." The global consumer goods companies and retailers that are first-movers in Brazil will have an enormous advantage.
According to Adnan Akan, opportunities abound in Turkey as well, particularly for large retailers. About 60 percent of the retail market is classified as "traditional," compared with just 20 percent for Western Europe. That leaves plenty of consumers hungry for the conveniences of modern retail. And for consumer goods companies, there's a lesson in what Napoleon Bonaparte once said: "If the world were just one country, Istanbul would be its capital." Turkey's straddling of Europe and Asia gives it a major advantage as a production center.
It's not just a tendency to shy away from risk that leaves plenty of opportunities on the table in emerging markets. Assumptions about how to do business in various emerging markets unnecessarily shackle companies.
For example, for global companies entering Africa, it's been conventional wisdom that the path to success starts in South Africa, moves north through Namibia, Botswana, and Zambia, and then swerves east to Tanzania or perhaps west to Nigeria and Ghana. According to panel member Wilkinson, however, the days of any one template for investment in Africa are long gone. "South Africa has been in that fortunate position with the most developed economy, infrastructure, and banking system," he said. "But now you see development all over the continent and investments being made in countries geographically removed from South Africa. There is a lot of interest in Africa now so the various countries are trying to promote themselves." The ways they are doing that are as varied as the 50 or so different countries of Africa. For example, according to Wilkinson, Mauritius has taken steps to make it much easier for global companies to enter the country.
Another common assumption about many African countries is that corruption and instability will sink any efforts for success. But the reality, according to Wilkinson, is that while foreign investors need to perform detailed analysis of any country they consider, the operating environment is much improved. "Africa is not a country; it's a continent," Wilkinson said. "So there are different market sizes, income levels, languages, and cultures. But as a whole, Africa is booming, political risk has lessened, and the operating environment has improved in many countries."
For Brazil, a number of companies still remember the instability and runaway inflation of the 1990s, dynamics that, back then, were synonymous with the rest of Latin America. But the levels of instability and inflation of the past are nowhere to be found today, and what developed is a burgeoning middle class with tens of millions of young, educated workers moving up the economic food chain. In addition to the high-income Brazilian customers that always have existed for multinational companies, there now are millions of up-and-coming consumers. For companies that are agile and adaptable, this is a huge opportunity to create new market share, as well as to protect the market share they already have.
"The instability and inflation issues we had have been gone now for 12 to 15 years," explained Neves. "We have built very strong markets from both the perspective of production and consumption. That's one reason Brazil has been able to ride out the financial crisis and recession and not be as affected by it."
In Turkey, the events of the Arab Spring introduced a potentially new story line for consumer companies. While Turkey has long been a regional manufacturing powerhouse—it makes more televisions and buses than any other country in Europe and is the fourth-largest manufacturer of automobiles—the potential liberalization of the Middle East could position Turkey as the ideal launching pad for export to these countries. "Turkey as a base for production and exporting to the Middle East, as well as the Balkans, makes a lot of sense," said Akan. "We have connections with all of these regions and a strong manufacturing and logistics capability." Akan also pointed out that Turkish entertainment programming is very popular with certain Middle East countries, so companies that target Turkey as a market essentially hit all of the Middle East with their product advertising at no extra cost.
Colgate has been active in emerging markets for decades and maintained its commitment while managing political, operational, and cultural risk. But numerous other companies haven't met with that success and have retreated. So for the retailer or consumer products company looking to make a long-term play in emerging markets today, what are some of the most critical issues that need to be managed? (For Broadman's personal point of view, see "Navigating the risks and opportunities in emerging markets.")
First, the good news: Our panel agreed that the demographics in virtually all emerging markets work in any company's favor. Take Africa, Turkey, and Brazil. Africa contains more than one billion people and some of the fastest-growing countries in the world in terms of GDP, including Ghana, which grew the fastest in 2010 (China was the fourth fastest growing). It is estimated that in 30 years' time, one in every five children will live in Africa, and the continent will have the largest working-age population. Foreign direct investment overall still is quite low, accounting for less than five percent into emerging markets, so there still are plenty of opportunities. "Africa strikes me as a perfect case of first-mover advantage," posited Broadman.
Turkey boasts a growing and youthful population. While it has few natural resources to speak of, its manufacturing acumen and geographic position at the crossroads of Asia and Europe make it an ideal platform for production. Its growing Internet usage and relative lack of a modern retail industry make it a ripe growth area for global online retailers. And Brazil? It might have the best demographic profile of any emerging market: a large, young, educated population; abundant natural resources; a multicultural society; and a high percentage of Internet penetration. But challenges remain.
Over the past two decades, China has shown how advancing a country's infrastructure can help spur economic growth. In the case of Brazil, the country completed many infrastructure projects due to its hosting of the soccer World Cup in 2014 and the Summer Olympic Games in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro.
But as Neves pointed out, strong Internet access can go a long way toward hiding weak spots in infrastructure: "In Brazil, the way that companies are looking to use social media to test products and introduce new products into the marketplace has really overcome part of the infrastructure need." In fact, any company looking at Brazil as a long-term investment needs to understand this equation: The combination of a youthful, educated populace; an Internet penetration rate of more than 50 percent and growing; and a burgeoning middle class equals a huge potential for online retailing. "We have a very young population and high level of Internet usage—and not just homes with high speed Internet," Neves said. "Hundreds of thousands of shops offer access where anyone can go in. And they are buying things online as well."
Infrastructure needs in Turkey and Africa, apart from South Africa, are more daunting. Akan recounted how Turkey still predominantly uses railways built before World War I. Wilkinson pointed out that companies opening multiple factories in Africa often don't realize the continent's enormous size—the land masses of China, the US, and India all would fit within Africa's borders—and distance between the major cities. And the continent's ports, like Turkey's railroads, are from another era. Despite the problems these infrastructure gaps present for companies doing business, one silver lining, according to Wilkinson, is that many companies that work on infrastructure projects no doubt will prosper in the coming years.
Each member of the panel addressed corruption and graft—issues likely to come up in any discussion of emerging markets. Interestingly, each saw the problem in terms of the larger questions of advancing an open political system and maintaining the rapid clip of economic growth. The belief is that corruption is less when there is a robust economy and the political system is open. "We are very proud of our democracy in Brazil and the liberty of the press," Neves said. "The reality is that consumer products companies will face the issue, especially those that sometimes sell through direct channels to government agencies or to some of the local municipalities. But with our democracy, and as we keep improving economically, we will continue to clean that up."
In Turkey, Akan pointed out that the country has bettered its position on various indices that track corruption. He believes that "things have improved a lot in the last 10 years, and it is mainly attributable to the improvement in economic growth." Wilkinson noted that companies that don't stick to strict rules and impeccable business ethics end up regretting it. "Some companies investing in South Africa and the rest of Africa have bent a little to the left or right, and they end up getting burned," he said. "So they've learned their lessons."
It was fitting that an executive as well-traveled and experienced as Tangney offered the final perspective on the cyclical nature of world business and the need to spot opportunities where they exist: "I can remember when Latin America was weak and dangerous," he said. "They spoke of the debt crisis. Now it's the Europeans who have the debt crisis. Today, in our world, Africa has the high potential to do very well. Companies have to act according to their beliefs about what the future holds."

Nudie Jeans just dropped their latest limited edition, a variation of then Slim Jim style dubbed "Post Recycle Dry" ($215). This US exclusive for Barneys NYC and BARNEYS.com is produced in fabric recycled from old worn Nudie Jeans denim. Together with ISKO, an international leader in denim manufacture, a processing technology has been developed where old denim is cut, milled down to a pulp, and then blended with virgin organic cotton to generate a new fabric. The result is a distinctive, slubby denim with a soft feel – the slubs being a consequence of the natural irregularities of the recycled yarn.
The straight-fit jean features five pocket details, zip fly, tonal stitching throughout, and organic trims. With only 500 jeans produced worldwide in this fabric, each style is uniquely customized with a numbered Limited Edition pocket lining. Slim Jim 'Post Recycle Dry' is available exclusively at BARNEYS this week.

Light Brushable Spray But Poor HoldI have been on a mission to find the perfect hairspray since I can remember. My hair is very fine and I need a hairspray that comes out light, holds my hair without looking like a helmet head and doesn't dull it. This hairspray has a nice fine mist and doesn't weigh my fine hair down. It also makes my hair shiny and doesn't dull it. The bad thing is it doesn't hold my hair especially, in bad weather. :-( Looks like my mission continues.Jan 6, 2014Christine / IllinoisHAIR TYPEBlonde / Color Treated Hair / Fine or Thin Hair

Not Just For Thinning Hair!!!Love love love Therapy G hairspray for thinning hair! Have been using it for over 8 years and I don't have thinning hair. Quite the contrary...I have very thick curly hair. Love that it holds but isn't sticky. Doesn't weigh down my hair whether I'm going curly or straight. It's the ONLY hairspray I use, and I've tried them all...expensive ones to cheap. THIS IS THE ONE!Jul 20, 2011ConstanceHAIR TYPELight Brown / Dry Hair / Curly Hair / Color Treated Hair

This is a great product, smells good without having too much fragrance, and holds my hair with a beautiful, lustreous shine. Thank you!Oct 11, 2010Gloria S. / PA

As you guys already know, we're not really advocates of getting rid of jeans. In fact, we offer a huge range of reasons to keep 'em with our Denim Therapy expert repair and alterations services, because even if they tear, you lose weight, or they don't fit quite right, there's a way to fix them up and make them your favorite pair again. But if you're like us, you have about 100 pairs of jeans floating around, and sometimes donating denim to make room for superior pairs is a good idea.
1. When they are covered in rhinestones and you used to love them in Junior high. Seriously, we're proud of you for still being able to fit into them, but they're covered in rhinestones and you're not in Junior high anymore. We're sure some 12-year-old girl would love to uncover them while treasure hunting at a local thrift store.
2. When they're three sizes too small and you used to love them in Junior high. If you want to be confident and feel amazing in jeans, wearing the same ones you wore in days-gone-by (while that might make you feel "young" for a minute) is not the way to do it. Wearing jeans that fit your figure now will help you look proportionate and stylish in ways ill-fitting jeans cannot.
3. If the pocket placement makes your butt look too big/too small/ too awkward. There are a lot of things you can modify when it comes to denim, but pocket placement is a crucial aspect of whether or not your butt looks good in jeans. Your denim collection should reflect trial and error pocket placement according to the unique shape of your bum.
4. If you have more than six pairs of the same cut/style/wash. We can sympathize here, as denim-lovers ourselves, but sometimes the extra closet space to branch out in your denim wardrobe is more valuable than owning a hundred of the same pair. The beauty of jeans is that they can be worn over and over without daily washing, so having a back-up arsenal of verbatim styles is not necessary. Why not explore some new cuts and colors in jeans instead?
We hope that helps. Be sure to check out 7 ways to make your butt look better in jeans and five reasons Denim Therapy should fix your jeans today, too.

If you do not want to take the chance on getting either a blast of hot or cold water, then you should have the balancer on any shower assembly.
: : : There are several companies that make them. That one should fulfil the requirement.
: : : : I'm remodeling my bathroom, and want to use one of those antique '2 handle' exposed shower fittings with the rose head.
: : : : My plumber is nervous, telling me that code requires a pressure balanced valve. My research has located an in-line pressure balance valve (called Tempera at www.pppinc.com). Could I use this to provide the same function? Or would this still be in violation of code? I live in Southern California, if that matters.

Directions to Santa Ana HostalAddress: Calle Cardenal Gonz�lez 25, Cordoba, Spain
Average rating: 93%
Rooms from: US$ 33.79
Directions to Santa Ana Hostal
By train and coach: The stations are opposite each other and between them are the stops for the city bus lines and taxis. You can take a taxi, which will cost you around �7.00 (this amount is approximate, as it will depend on the type of rate, i.e. night, public holiday, luggage, etc.). If you choose to take the city bus (cheaper, currently -2011- �1,15), get on line 3 and get off at the bus stop in the street called Calle San Fernando. Walk down this street until you get to the next street on the right (Cardenal Gonz�lez). We are located at number 25 (around 100 metres on the left). By car: Important: Bear in mind that you are going to enter the old city centre, where the streets are narrow and only one way. Provisional directions due workd From the highway A4/E5 take the exit 403 to Plaza Andaluc�a. When you get to Plaza Andaluc�a, in the roundabout, take the second exit to city centre and cross the San Rafael�s bridge over Guadalquivir�s river. Just at the end of the bridge, you have to take the first street on your right Avda. del Alc�zar (be aware, it�s just at the end, don�t miss it!). Once there, take the first on your left (Santa Teresa de Jornet). Then, turn right (C/ Amador de los R�os). At that point, you will find a car access control (press the red bottom on your left and say that you have a reservation with us). Go straight ahead (you will see the back side of the Mezquita). Even if there is a no entry sing again, you can pass. Go ahead and you will see our Property on your right. Stop for a minute and say that you have a reservation. If you want to park in our parking, let us know and we will tell you where it is placed.

The River2Sea's Crystal Buzz, like their Hula Shad, features a bismuth⁄tin alloy head encased in polycarbonate with a flat design that causes the buzzbait to pop to the surface faster than conventional head designs, and allows for a slower retrieve. Crystal Buzz features a hand tied silicone skirt, River2Sea's premium long shank Big Bite hook and dual counter-rotating blades separated by a spring designed to apply the right amount of pressure to keep the blades from jamming while creating noise to draw fish in for a strike.
* Material: Bismuth⁄Tin alloy encased w ⁄ polycarbonate
* Unique finish
* Hand tied skirts
* Flat design for easy pop up to surface
* Spring device for noise optimization
* Ball-bearing weed bead

Customer Reviews
Comments: Great bait, awesome finish on this bait and increadibly durable! i agree that this bait rises quickly and provides a beautiful noise when going trough the water surface. Highly recomend this bait along with any other R2S baits. I'm a fan of the brand!
From: Emmanuel: Bakersfield, CA
Comments: This is a very high quality buzzbait, at a very low price. When the topic of value comes up, River2Sea is a company that comes to mind. It is baits like this that are the reason why. I love the head design and the skirt is really nice quality. This bait runs great out of its gorgeous package. The fish like it a lot too. I highly recommend this lure.
From: Dean: British Columbia, Canada
Comments: This is my first double blade counter-rotating buzzblade and I was totally impressed with the quality of the finished product as well as packaging. The blades are on a spring so that they would ding off each other creating additional noise. While I found the casting distance to be only average, I really like how well this lure tracks as well as how quick it surfaces. I only had slight problems as the counter-rotating blades tend to foul up with weeds geting tangled in them.
From: SlipperyBob: MN, USA
Comments:I picked up a couple of these because all of the R2S things I have bought in the past worked extremely well and didn't expect anything less out of these. I was really impressed right out of the box by the sheer quality of these baits. I fish mostly clear to ultra clear water,so detail is a must. I proceeded down a bank on my first trip to Lake Vermillion in Minnesota. I caught 6 bass and 1 large pike in the first 100 yards while my partner didnt even get one! I cut off the R2S and tied on another brand I've always used in the past and only got 2 risers in the next 500 yds proof these baits are at the top of the buzzbait chain. I'm a tough critic of baits and these are by far the best I've used. I've bought several other baits for more money and none run as true, pop up as easy and allow you to reel them as slow as this one. For clear water these are the best on market for the price bar none.

hi nadav,
do you have any idea whan all of this will be merged to the official release ?
Hi Omer
Not sure It's been a while...
We wrote an email to Martin two weeks ago and we did not get any response.
I will discuss a solution (tomorrow) with the Translation Team.
We consider posting a special Moodle 2 release, until we get a response from Moodle HQ.
due to many bugs in my currently installed version i have to upgrade al of my installations (over 70) to the latest release.
wish it had included your fixes....
Thanks guys! Sorry about the long time since you had a response. Lots of things happening.
Someone from the STABLE sprint team will review these, and produce some new rebased PULL requests for integration.
Hi Nadav,
I've been through all your patches now, merged them into stable and dev, and have reviewed all of them.
I've created two PULL requests to see your changes integrated PULL-663 and PULL-664.
Providing these pass the weekly review they will be in the upcoming weekly releases.
Most of your patches were spot on however I did alter several and there were a few that did not make it in.
For future patches keen the following in mind:
- Don't make changes within 3rd party libs, we don't make any changes that arn't 100% required there as it always causing problems later on. Instead just make the required changes in the base/standard theme.
- We don't put any browser specific CSS into base unless we absolutely need to, this is things such as border radius and such.
- Try to avoid rules like select[name=*introeditor]. There is always a better way, in this case those format boxes were associated with the editor so .felement.feditor select worked fine.
At this point I'll close this issue.
If you produce any further patches please do share them with us but create a new issue. We've changed the way we inspect new bugs and if you create a new bug and attach a patch it will be looked at sooner, hopefully this will lead to your work being integrated quicker.
One more thing, I made you the author of the changes so that you get credit within our git repository, I used the email address on your tracker profile I hope thats OK.
Hi Sam
Thank you very much!
I was really looking forward for those remarks you gave me,
Since i was coding in the dark and was not sure what was the right
strategic you guys prefer. especially when i got no response over time to my patches.
So, thank you very much
For the future...
I am not sure i know where and how to open PULL request. (Can you link me to some info?)
I do have some experience with projects i manage on Github and i work with git all the time.
I even have all the changes we (the Moodle Hebrew Translation Team) make to Moodle 1.9.x
on github (https://github.com/nadavkav/Moodle-RTL--Shenkar-Translation-Team-) and
Thank you for making me the Auther, too.
Hi Nadav,
I wrote a docs page the other day about my development process when working on Moodle with Git.
Hopefully that will answer some of the questions that you have about PULL requests.
If you have any doubts just ask on the MDL question (or within the PULL request if you have created one).

haha wow, pretty amazed at how well that worked out.
Edit - hang on. Oram in for Diamanti as well actually.
Franklin seemingly could keep Oram out of the starting eleven when he's fit again too.
Will be interesting to see how Broom goes in the Champions League which starts 5 days after the Champions Trophy.

I should really be working on a presentation I have to do tomorrow (well, today now...). But it's just a summary of my essay, so a haphazard copy/paste job and some improvisation should do the trick.
Sanga's blooper gave us 100 runs imo
Ryder is gone burger.
Ryder is out of the competition! He has pulled his left abductor muscle. If NZ progress to the semis then they will call up a replacement,otherwise obviously they will not.

There are 21 Mini boxes of chewing gum enclosed in each Mini Glee Variety Pack, with 4 pieces of chewing gum per box. Featuring biodegradable packaging on the outside and all natural chewing gum on the inside, the Mini Glee Variety Pack is a great "green" option for Halloween and the holidays and makes a neat sweet treat for parties and gift bags! Glee Gum All Natural Chewing Gum is an all-natural, eco-friendly chewing gum made with sustainably harvested rainforest chicle. Glee Gum is the #1 healthy alternative to synthetic chewing gum and bubble gum! No artificial colors, flavors, preservatives, or sweeteners (no aspartame, saccharin or cyclamate). Chew with Glee, naturally! All Glee Gum is: Vegetarian, GMO Free, Additive Free, Dairy Free, Wheat Free, Gluten Free, Egg Free, Yeast Free, Nut Free, and Peanut Free. Glee Gum is the only gum on the market which contains chicle in its gum base. And using chicle helps sustain the rainforest! Frequently Asked Questions What Makes Glee Gum Special?Glee Gum is natural chewing gum made without preservatives, artificial flavorings, colorings, or sweeteners (no aspartame). It is also the only gum on the market that contains chicle in its gum base. And using chicle helps sustain the rainforest! What Is Chicle?Chicle is the sap from the sapodilla (pronounced "sap-oh-dee-yah") tree, which grows in the rainforests of Central America. Chicle was the original basis for all chewing gum, until synthetic gum bases were developed. By using chicle in our gum base, we support chicleros, the workers who tap trees for chicle. We also create an ongoing use for the Sapodilla trees, which otherwise have economic value only as lumber. Is Glee Gum Gluten Free?Yes, Glee Gum contains no gluten. Glee Gum is safe for people with celiac disease and any other wheat and gluten intolerances. Is Glee Gum Vegetarian?Yes, Glee Gum is completely vegetarian and certified by the Vegetarian Society. But, because it contains beeswax and resinous glaze, it is not vegan. Is Glee Gum Safe For People With Food Allergies?Glee Gum does not contain any of the eight major food allergens: milk, egg, fish, Crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, peanuts, or soybeans. All six flavors of regular Glee Gum contain glucose derived from corn, which may not be safe for individuals with corn allergies. Sugar-Free Glee Gum is corn-free. Also, though all Glee Gum is soy-free, other products containing soy lecithin are processed in the same facility. Is The Chicle In Glee Gum Safe For People With Latex Allergies?Yes, Glee Gum is safe for individuals with latex allergies. Although chicle is similar to latex, chicle is derived from the Manilkara sapota (sapodilla) tree. Latex comes from the H. brasiliensis tree. People with latex allergies are allergic to the proteins of the H. brasiliensis tree, so they should have no problem with chicle. What Is Gum Base?Gum base is the indigestible part of the gum that gives it a chewy texture. It is the part of the gum that you discard after chewing. Most gum base is made of entirely synthetic materials. Glee Gum is the only gum made in North America with a gum base that contains chicle (natural rubber of the Manilkara zapota, known as the sapodilla tree) and a mix of natural and synthetic materials. The exact formula is (unfortunately!) confidential. It is safe to chew. What Is Resinous Glaze?Resinous glaze is an all-natural resin harvested from the secretions of the lac beetle (it is also sometimes referred to as the lac insect). It is similar to beeswax, safe to eat, and fine for vegetarians. What Is Carnauba Wax?This wax is an exudate from the pores of leaves of the Brazilian wax palm tree, Copernicia cerifera. What Is Gum Arabic?It is a resin from the acacia tree. What Is Xylitol?Xylitol is a sugar alcohol from birch and beech bark. It is the all-natural sweetener that we use in our Sugar-Free Glee Gum. Xylitol is found naturally in the fibers of fruits and veggies like corn, raspberries and plums. It can help benefit dental health, and it is a safe alternative sweetener for many folks on restricted diets. However, xylitol is not safe for dogs. So, no matter how much he begs, please do not give your pooch a piece! Is Glee Gum Fair Trade?Yes, Glee Gum is the first Fair Trade gum in the world. All 6 flavors of Classic Glee Gum (Peppermint, Cinnamon, Bubblegum, Tangerine, Triple Berry, Spearmint) are FAIRTRADE Certified. What Does FairTrade Certification Mean?The FAIRTRADE Certification Mark guarantees that the cane sugar sweetening all 6 flavors of Classic Glee Gum meets the social, economic and environmental standards set by Fairtrade International. Fairtrade International, a non-profit organization, oversees an alternative system of global trade in which farmers and workers are paid a fair and stable price for their produce, regardless of changes in the market. About Verve, Inc., manufacturers of Glee Gum Verve is an independent, certified woman-owned business, dedicated to linking world communities and creating environmentally and socially responsible products and activities.In 1992, the concept for Verve was born when the company's founders visited an economically depressed chicle-producing community in Northern Guatemala. Up until then, they had never really thought about how chewing gum was made. When they realized its origins, they learned that prior to the synthetic resins, chicle was the basis of the entire industry. Their goal was to support chicle-harvesting by purchasing chicle. With this goal in mind, Verve was born. Today, Verve provides a sustainable source of income for those communities while simultaneously offering fun, educational, and environmentally friendly activities for kids. Glee Gum uses recycled cardboard packaging on its products because it is 100% biodegradable. The result is easy on the eyes, to be sure, but it's also eco-wise! Verve is also a dedicated member of Green America and 1% for the Planet. Accordingly, they donate 1% of all sales to organizations which help to conserve the environment. And, to help empower the next generation, Verve offers six academic scholarships per year to the sons and daughters of Mexican chicleros engaged in the study of environmental issues and sustainable forestry.

Students at Ferron Elementary adopted this slogan as their mantra for the week of Feb. 5-9. This effort was to connect them with children in Kersa Illala, Ethiopia. The students at Ferron decided to collect money and help the high risk children in Kersa Illala through the Village of Hope foundation.
Steffanie Reeder, director of the Kersa Illala high risk children's center, asked Principal Brian Dawes if there was anything his students could do to help. He took the request to the student council and they decided to run with it.
Ferron's student council, Kiley Jensen, Brittany Payne, Sabrina Bloomer, Natalie Dickman and Bryson Hales organized a fund-raising week to gather the money and invited Reeder to the school on Valentines Day to make the award.
On Feb. 5, students brought pennies to school, on Feb. 6, they switched to nickels. On Feb. 7, they brought dimes. It was quarters on Feb. 8, and on Feb. 9, they brought in dollars. The student council sent jars to each classroom in the mornings to collect the money and they rolled the change into rolls.
On Feb. 14, Reeder came to the school and presented a slide-show with photos of the children at the high risk children's center in Kersa Illala. The students of Ferron Elementary were shown the living conditions of the Ethiopian children of their same ages.
Following the slide-show, Jensen awarded the donation to Reeder. It totaled $1,448.15. With tears in Reeder's eyes, the PTO representative added $51.85 to bring the grand total of Ferron's donation to the Village of Hope to $1,500.
Reeder said, "God bless you children for coming together and working to help children on the other side of the world. This money will go a long way in Ethiopia. We can build a house in Ethiopia with this money."
More information about and donations can be made to Village of Hope at www.villageofhope-ethiopia.org.

@FractalXX: I would recommend anyone working with Doombuilder 2 to set up their UDMF configuration and use that. It's insanely easy to set up coloured sectors and use scripts to change textures. (There's a tab under sector options that lets you directly set the colour of the sector using RGB. So much cleaner than the old way.) It doesn't take long to get used to using the new format, and it's really convenient.
FractalXX said:
I guess you're right, and it sounds good. I have a feeling, that I'll set up the UDMF config, and make another map for this project... if that's allowed.
schwerpunk said:
3) You show a staggeringly good understanding of thing placement. A little while after passing through the 'red' door you show a glimpse of a medikit tucked away to right - a sight for sore eyes! But grabbing it takes you into the line of sight of some (I'm guessing) deaf hitscanners that were previously out of view. Treacherous fun!
schwerpunk said:
5) I had to laugh at this part. **
Membrain said:
That looks much more red when I tested it. I'll add some coloured torches to make sure it's more obvious I've also been working on adding secrets to both my maps, so once I do that I'll post the newer versions.
Oh, and the map is called "Abstraction Complex." Thanks for the feedback!
Membrain said:
Ah, that does look a lot better. What were you using when you took the screenshot where it was yellowish? I might be able to do something about it, if needed.

Absolutely loving Fractal's map. =D

Mind if I post up another map? (I just really love the concept of this project!) This one is the longest and hardest of what I've made so far. It's a little on the unforgiving side.
Can get it here.

Evelyn Brandon, 93, passed away on March 4 in Grand Junction, Colo. She was born in Templeton, Calif. to Roscoe and Elsie Murray.
After graduating from San Jose State College she taught physical education in Fortuna, Calif., before marrying Jack Brandon, a dashing Air Force pilot, who was born in Castle Dale.
The family traveled extensively during Jack's career as a pilot and civil engineer, living in Alaska, Colorado, Hawaii, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and California. Evelyn enjoyed life in each location-camping, fishing and skiing in Alaska and Colorado, and sailing and hula dancing in Hawaii.
Evelyn and Jack retired to Lompoc in 1968 where they enjoyed tennis, dancing, singing, digging clams at Pismo Beach, Lompoc history, and flying Jack's plane to Colorado and Joes Valley, Utah, where they built a family cabin. Jack died in 2001, and Evelyn moved to Grand Junction in 2004.
She is survived by four sons-John in San Rafael, Tom in Colorado Springs, Dale in Grand Junction, and Richard in Santa Paula-their wives Ute, Gail, Sherry, and Debbie, 11 grandchildren, and six great-grandchildren.
Evelyn's life will be celebrated at the family cabin in August.

Super cute but runs small
"Super cute flats. I love the peep toe and the jewel accents. However, the shoe runs super small. I am normally a size 7 and it was extremely tight and uncomfortable. I am currently trying to stretch it out. I suggest ordering a size up. I ordered a pair in a different color and ordered 7.5. It is still tight so I suggest that you have it professionally stretched!"

Love love love these!!
"I purchased these shoes for my wedding in October. I didn't want to be uncomfortable in heels so I looked at flats. I found a pair of Vera Wang's that I absolutely LOVED but couldn't find anywhere...then I saw these! They are the exact replica of the Vera Wang flats (less than half the price) and they are amazingly comfortable! I wore them around the house for 4 hours when I first got them, and didn't want to take them off!! I can't wait to wear these at my wedding - I might buy a 2nd pair so that I can wear them before then!! :):)"

Santillana, Iñigo López de Mendoza, marqués de (ēnyēˈgō lōˈpĕth dā māndōˈthä märkāsˈ dā säntēlyäˈnä) [key], 1398–1458, Spanish poet and literary patron. Influenced by Dante, Petrarch, and Boccaccio, his work marks the transition between medieval and Renaissance Spanish literature. The first to write sonnets in Spanish, he also wrote the first Spanish ars poetica; an allegorical poem, Comedieta de Ponza (1436); and several songs called serranillas. Santillana's refranes, or proverbs, were translated into English in 1579.

Two basis points: That's the advantage being trumpeted Thursday by Fidelity Investments in the launch of the "industry's lowest-cost passive sector ETFs." It's a good occasion to ask: Just what does "lowest cost" mean?
Answer: It's a lot more than expense ratios. That's especially true when, as is the case here, the differences between ETF fees are as small as two basis points, or 0.02% — $2 per every $10,000 invested. Cost, rightly understood, has to include a number of other less visible factors — bid-ask spreads, choice of index, and other wonky subjects. These don't get mentioned in press releases, but they are often just as important or, as is the case here, even more important.
In sector ETFs, fund giants have been beating eachother up for years. The result has been a decline in expense ratios well before Fidelity's launch today. State Street's (STT) SPDRs, the biggie in this area, have faced pressure for years from Vanguard Group, not to mention a slew of smaller, specialized competitors.
Fidelity ends up with the lowest management fees by a microscopic margin. The lineup of ETFs including Fidelity MSCI Consumer Staples Index ETF (FSTA) and Fidelity MSCI Financials Index ETF (FIDU) charge an annual 0.12% — but Vanguard Group's charge an average 0.14%, and State Street's (STT) SPDRs 0.18%.
For the smalltime investor, that's too small a difference to matter. It's even less important if you're whipping around ETFs in your portfolio, which is something sector-minded investors sometimes do. Paying an annual 0.18% versus an annual 0.12% arguably matters over three decades, but not over three months.
The slim cost difference turns out to matter for another reason: It magnifies the importance of the other factors. Here's one that's not even nerdy: Commissions.
These ETFs come without a commission for Fidelity accountholders, which, for the smallest investors, is a big and notable advantage. Add back in some $7.95 per trade and it could pile up if you are the more active sort of investor. Count that as a win for some 14 million Fidelity retail customers. But not for customers of Schwab or E*Trade or what have you.
Once you get past expense ratios and commissions, the claim of the "industry's lowest-cost passive sector ETFs" starts to get much less certain. Tracking error, bid-ask spreads, index choice and even the time of day or month you decide to trade, to take a few examples of the important wonkdom, could each swamp the slim fee advantage.
