Contractor may refer to:
Training is teaching, or developing in oneself or others, any skills and knowledge that relate to specific useful competencies. Training has specific goals of improving one's capability, capacity, productivity and performance. It forms the core of apprenticeships and provides the backbone of content at institutes of technology (also known as technical colleges or polytechnics). In addition to the basic training required for a trade, occupation or profession, observers of the labor-market recognize as of 2008 the need to continue training beyond initial qualifications: to maintain, upgrade and update skills throughout working life. People within many professions and occupations may refer to this sort of training as professional development.
Physical training concentrates on mechanistic goals: training-programs in this area develop specific skills or muscles, often with a view of peaking at a particular time. Some physical training programs focus on raising overall physical fitness.
Spray foam insulation is an alternative to traditional building insulation such as fiberglass. A two-component mixture composed of isocyanate and polyol resin comes together at the tip of a gun, and forms an expanding foam that is sprayed onto roof tiles, concrete slabs, into wall cavities, or through holes drilled in into a cavity of a finished wall.
Polyurethane, the most common type of spray foam insulation, was developed and used by the military in the 1940s and applied to airplanes, then they realised there was a gap in the civil market that required filling. It wasn't until the 1970s that it started to be used as foam insulation.
Various systems are used to apply the spray foam. The two component high pressure system is generally used in new home construction. It is a quick expanding type of spray foam. The two component low pressure spray foam is another system that is used primarily for remodel jobs where there are existing walls with drywall already in place. This is also known as a slow rise formula and often referred to as injection foam.
The following is a list of minor characters that first appeared in the British Channel 4 soap opera Hollyoaks in 2003, by order of first appearance.
Robert "Robbie" Flynn was a cheeky student who was also stubborn, hot-headed and set in his ways. Robbie preferred to have his own space and found the prospect of sharing a room in his halls of residence distinctly unappetising after a mistake by the admin, had him sharing a room with Joe Spencer. The two battled with each other hoping to get the other one to move out, this lasted a while as the two kept on winding each other up and getting back at one another, but they eventually decided to give up the war and become friends. Robbie found some love interest after he managed to sleep with Student President Chloe Bruce. According to Joe, Robbie moved to Ibiza to become a Holiday rep.

I started off in college buy college was not for me. On my first day of welding school, I could tell I was going to like it. I could see progress right away and knew that in less than a year, I was going to working as a welder making good pay. I spent 13 years as a pipe welder, and then pivoted into aerospace welding. Along the way, I got my AWS CWI and SCWI, worked as a welder, welding instructor, metallurgical lab tech, and managed the welding training and certification program at Delta Air Lines Technical Operations Center. It was a great job...until it wasn't.

Rig contractor Diamond Offshore Drilling Inc said two of its drillships will be contracted to oil and gas producer Anadarko Petroleum Corp for up to $1.8 billion, the latest in a spate of deepwater deals spurred by higher crude oil prices. The federal government today approved a deep-water drilling blueprint proposed by BHP Billiton, Inc. — the first truly new offshore exploration plan since last year's Gulf spill to survive stepped-up environmental scrutiny.

BPA staff discovered "Stringing and Sagging" after releasing the first volume of BPA-produced films in 2013. It turned up in a group of films returned from a storage facility. In this 1950 film, BPA engineering teams determine what kind of cable to use and how to string and sag it for optimal high-voltage transmission. It was written by Henry Alderman of BPA's Information Service, who also wrote "Power Builds Ships" (1942), which was featured in the first collection. The filmmakers use voice-over narration, animation, paintings, models, mathematics, slide rules and custom templates to illustrate the decision-making process. "Stringing and Sagging" also shows the complex tasks involved in installing cable in the field. It's amazing to see the engineering expertise behind the construction of...

Based on the records of the Centre for Research on the Epidemiology of Disasters (CRED), 33 natural disasters struck the country in 2011, according to Citizens' Disaster Response Center (CDRC) deputy executive director Carlos Padolina. A total of 302 natural disasters happened worldwide in the same year, Padolina said in a press statement. If disasters caused by people such as armed conflict and fire are included, the total number of disasters in the country in 2011 will reach 431. It shows an increase of more than 50% from 2010, he added. Natural and human-induced disasters affected more than 3 million families or 15.3 million people, and caused over P26 billion in economic losses in 2011, CDRC said in a report. Padolina said the Philippines' ranking did not come as a surprise because Tropical Storm Sendong (Washi), one of the worst disasters to hit the country, happened late last year. In terms of casualties, the Philippines came second to Japan with 1,924 people killed. More than 1,400 died because of tropical storm Sendong. "The challenge for us is to reduce the impact of disasters on our lives," Padolina said. "No matter how frequent these calamities might occur, as long as we are prepared, we can bounce right back."

The Myrtle Beach Pelicans drilled four home runs Saturday to back five strong innings from Thomas Hatch in a 9-5 win over the Frederick Keys at Nymeo Field at Harry Grove Stadium.
The game was scoreless in the second inning when Jesse Hodges popped a solo home run to left off Frederick (36-48, 5-10) starter Keegin Akin (6-6). Matt Rose followed with a solo shot of his own to increase the Pelicans (49-37, 6-10) lead to 2-0.
Zack Short then reached on an error, but Akin retired the final 14 batters he faced. The southpaw ceded just two runs on two hits in six innings, striking out nine against one walk.
Hatch was tremendous, yielding just one run on six hits in five frames. The right-hander issued just one free pass against his five punchouts to earn the win.
Frederick's lone run against Hatch came in the fourth inning. Ademar Rifaela singled to begin the frame. After Randolph Gassaway struck out, Shane Hoelscher singled and Alex Murphy walked to load the bases. Glynn Davis followed with an RBI single to cut the Birds' lead to 2-1.
The score would remain that way until the seventh. Tyler Alamo singled before Hodges doubled him to third. Rose then grounded a ball to the Keys' first baseman Murphy, who threw wild to the plate, allowing both Alamo and Hodges to score.
In the eighth, Jay Gonzalez singled and Ryan Mountcastle walked before a wild pitch advanced both runners into scoring position. Rifaela then cashed both of them in with a two-run single to pull the Keys to within 4-3.
Myrtle Beach received some important insurance in the ninth. Rose doubled to start the frame, and two batters later, Connor Myers doubled him in. The Keys elected to intentionally walk Bryant Flete, which increased his on-base streak to 18 games. A balk moved the runners to second and third. P.J. Higgins lifted a sacrifice fly to right to plate Myers. Trent Giambrone then blasted a two-run homer to left-center to widen the margin to 8-3. For the second time, the Pelicans went back-to-back as Eddy Martinez powered a laser over the wall in left to push the advantage to 9-3.
In the bottom of the ninth, James Norwood retired the first two batters before Armando Araiza homered. Norwood hit Ricardo Andujar with a pitch. Defensive indifference pushed Andujar to second. A Gonzalez infield single coupled with a Myrtle Beach error brought in Andujar to cut the Birds' lead to 9-5. Norwood then walked Mountcastle before getting Rifaela to ground out to end the ballgame.
The Pelicans send LHP Ryan Kellogg (3-6, 5.37 ERA) to the mound in Sunday's 6 p.m. contest against Keys RHP Cristian Alvarado (3-8, 6.27 ERA). Coverage begins at 5:45 p.m. on MyrtleBeachPelicans.com/Broadcast, the MiLB First Pitch app and TuneIn.

Recent advances in FCM instrumentation and reagents have enabled high-dimensional analyses to identify large numbers of cell populations with potentially significant correlations to an external outcome. However, studies often fail to characterize the complex relationships between the markers involved in the identification of these cell populations. Revealing this information can provide additional insight into the biological characteristics of the populations identified. The choice of markers for new panels has been a source of ongoing debate, including efforts such as the Human ImmunoPhenotyping Consortium (HIPC), the Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies Federation of Clinical Immunology Societies (FOCiS) sponsored Flow Immunophenotyping Technical Meetings (FITMaN), and the Optimized Multicolor Immunophenotyping Panels (OMIPs) articles (1–12). Understanding the relationships between the markers involved in identification of the target cell population and the characteristics of that cell population (e.g., its correlation with a clinical outcome) is fundamental to the design of effective marker panels. For example, one could use a high-dimensional flow or mass cytometry assay to measure a large list of candidate markers. However, this can result in parsing the cells into (e.g., clinically) redundant subsets (13). Excluding these redundancies (e.g., markers less important for prediction of a clinical outcome) will result in a panel of the most clinically relevant markers.
High-dimensional FCM data is usually analyzed using a laborious sequential manual analysis procedure in which a series of thresholds or two-dimensional polygons (or gates) are applied to histograms or scatter plots of markers [e.g., (14, 15)]. However, manual gates provide little insight into the relative importance of each gate to the final results. For example, consider a six color assay with markers named 1–6. If the expression of each marker is considered to be on, off, or does not matter (e.g., markers named 1, 2, and 3 in phenotype 1+2−, respectively), a total of 36 = 729 cell populations can be distinguished based on these markers. A given immunophenotype involving all six of these markers (e.g., 1+2−3+4−5+6−) can have 26 = 64 parent populations (e.g., 1+, 1+2−). Quantifying the relationship between the cell population of interest and these parent populations is fundamental to our understanding of the importance of the markers for different gating strategies. The order in which the gates are applied to the data is not important, as long as all of the gates are used (i.e., sequential gating is commutative). However, to decrease the size of the marker panel, the relative importance of the gates should be determined. For example, the measurement of the phenotype mentioned above using only five colors requires the determination of the importance of each marker to identify and remove the least important one (i.e., the identification of the parent population with five markers that is most similar to the original phenotype). This is further complicated by the fact that some cell populations can be identified using more than one combination of markers and gating strategy; therefore, each marker can be used in different positions in the gating hierarchy and can have different priorities, depending on the choice of the gating strategy. For example, the 3+ gate is involved in both 1+2−3+ and 3+4−5+, both parents of the 1+2−3+4−5+6− phenotype described above. However, depending on the amount of redundancy between marker 3 and others, this marker can have different levels of importance for these two parent populations.
Another use-case for measuring the importance of the markers is the investigation of a large number of closely related phenotypes (e.g., those identified by bioinformatics pipelines) by identifying their common parent populations. Several computational tools have been developed for automated identification of cell populations [e.g., (16–26)] and recent studies have used these tools to identify novel cell populations that correlate with clinical outcomes [e.g., (27–31)]. In addition, the results of the FlowCAP-II project1 have shown that several algorithms can accurately and reproducibly identify cell populations correlated with external outcomes. However, these algorithms provide limited information regarding the importance of the markers involved in defining the cell populations (27, 32). This situation is even more complicated than sequential manual gating, since most of these bioinformatics pipelines work based on multivariate classifiers, and as a result, more than one cell population can be responsible for the final predictions. Therefore, markers can have different relative importance in defining the multiple cell populations within the multivariate model. Quantifying the markers for each phenotype involved in the multivariate model can provide additional insight into the differences between closely related cell populations. For example, if two phenotypes 1+2−3+4−5+ and 1+2−3+4−6+ are identified as correlates of a disease, and if markers 5 and 6 (which are the only differences between them) are the least important markers for the former and latter phenotypes respectively, then these two phenotypes are likely to correspond to the same cell population (as far as the correlation with the disease is concerned). However, if markers 5 and 6 are the most important for the phenotypes, these can correspond to two biologically different cell populations.
To address these problems, we developed RchyOptimyx, a computational tool that uses dynamic programming and optimization techniques from graph theory to construct a cellular hierarchy, providing the best gating strategies to identify target populations to a desired level of purity or correlation with a clinical outcome, using the simplest possible combination of markers.

Every weekday, we bring you the Ad Age/iSpot Hot Spots, new TV commercials tracked by iSpot.tv, the real-time TV ad measurement company with attention and conversion analytics from more than seven million smart TVs. The ads here ran on national TV for the first time yesterday. A few highlights: Apple shows off how its iPad seamlessly fits into one little girls life (Alexandra Jardine has the backstory: "A Digital Whiz Kid Asks Whats a Computer? in Apples Spot for iPad Pro"). LeBron James (an animated version of him, anyway) hypes Sprite Cranberry. And Subaru promotes its Share the Love sales event with the story of a kid named Matthew who got his wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation with a little help from Subaru.

At less than two years old, Erich and Kallman has already picked up liquor and wine accounts. Now the San Francisco shop is getting into the beer business, as agency-of-record for Fat Tire. New Belgium, one the nations largest craft brewers, has chosen the agency to handle strategy, creative and package design for its most important brew. Erich and Kallman will also handle the brewers Dayblazer golden ale. The agency, founded early last year by former Goodby, Silverstein & Partners Execuive Creative DIrector Eric Kallman and ex-CP&B President Steven Erich, already handles Astral tequila and Noble Vines wine, in addition to several General Mills brands. Kyle Bradshaw, New Belgiums director of brands, in an email interview said the agency "displayed a great understanding of our company ethos, which will always be at the heart of any New Belgium creative work. They are small, nimble but also a creative powerhouse, which is exactly what we need in the ever-evolving craft beer landscape." The brewer has used a variety of agencies over the years, as well as relying on what Bradshaw described as "our deep pool of in-house talent." Continue reading at AdAge.com
Offline retail is finally about to change. But the shift is more subtle than many people think. The internet has still barely touched how most things are bought. After two decades of the internet and the mobile revolution, 91% of U.S. retail spending still takes place in brick-and-mortar stores. Traditional retail sales continue to grow, exceeding $5 trillion this year. Amazon is growing faster, but is still a drop in the bucket. Youd be forgiven for thinking that offline retail is about to keel over and die. Headline writers attract clicks by proclaiming the "retail apocalypse." Theres plenty of material to fuel the narrative, from struggling mall operators to large bankruptcies like Toys R Us. Yet the numbers dont match this gloomy narrative. In 2017, the U.S. will have a net gain of approximately 3,000 new stores. (Apparel is having a tough time, but other sectors are growing strongly.) In total, offline retail sales will increase by about $70 billion, which is equivalent to half of Amazons annual revenue. Brick-and-mortar will continue to dominate retail for a long time to come.

Now you can talk to Mr. Mucus, in a sense, via chatbot, thanks to WebMD and the latest wrinkle in its long-running partnership with RB (Reckitt Benckiser). The chatbot is part of a growing artificial-intelligence effort from WebMD, an outgrowth of voice programs developed last year to work with Amazon Echo and Google Home. Perhaps sadly, Mr. Mucus doesnt actually engage in the conversation. But folks looking up cold and flu symptoms on WebMD will be prompted by the chatbot to, say, ask any questions they have about the ailments, along with branded Mucinex queries about how to treat cough or congestion symptoms. While "partnership" gets thrown around too liberally in marketing, whats been going on the past six years between WebMD and RB fits the description. The medical information site is one of RBs original media "joint business planning" partners along with the likes of Facebook, meaning its executives play an integral role in each years communications planning process and even retail salesforce planning for brands that also include Lysol, Delsym and Airborne supplements.

The harsh response to Pepsis Kendall Jenner ad was "was the most gut-wrenching experience of my career," Brad Jakeman, the outgoing president of PepsiCos global beverage group, said Thursday in his first public comments about the ad, which Pepsi pulled earlier this year amid widespread criticism. In a wide-ranging on-stage interview at the Ad Age Next conference, Jakeman also warned marketers to have compassion for fellow marketing executives who get caught up in similar social media firestorms. He cited the example of Dove, which despite years of progressive female advertising, was put on the defensive last month over a small portion of a body wash ad that some critics deemed racist. "We are now publishing thousands of pieces of content," Jakeman said. "There are going to be these issues. And when they happen, be the person that reaches out to that company and say, How can I help. Dont be the person that piles on." Continue reading at AdAge.com
Facebook is trying to win over the influencer crowd with an app built just for them, and it connects to Watch for those influencers with an official show on the social network. The Facebook Creator App, announced Thursday, will give internet stars a place to create and edit videos, film live, message with followers and track stats about their videos. The app is for people with a Facebook Page, not just a personal account. Facebook also announced that it was developing more Watch shows with creators as the stars. Continue reading at AdAge.com
Comcast has expressed interest in acquiring a big portion of 21st Century Foxs film and TV assets, swooping in after talks with Walt Disney cooled, according to people familiar with the matter. Comcast, the owner of TV networks such as NBC and the movie studio Universal Pictures, approached the Rupert Murdoch-controlled media group about the assets, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private information. Fox shares surged 5.2 percent in late trading after CNBC and the Wall Street Journal reported the news earlier. Disney had sought a stake in European satellite carrier Sky Plc, the National Geographic, FX and Star India cable networks, and the 20th Century Fox film and TV studio, people familiar with the matter said earlier. Comcast would also be interested in Foxs regional sports networks, one of the people said Thursday. Fox would be left with its assets including its cable news outlets and broadcast channel, including local stations. Continue reading at AdAge.com

German telecommunications giant Deutsche Telekom is rolling out a new media operating model in Europe that takes the strategy portion in-house and farms out other media tasks to different agencies, calling it a "radical redefinition" of its media management approach. But it says it wont have any implications on how subsidiary T-Mobile U.S. handles its own media. The company said it last did a major, open media pitch over a decade ago, and has worked with GroupM agencies in Europe since then. When it decided to run another pitch last year, it realized how much the media world had changed, and decided it would look for a new kind of model, says Christian Hahn, VP of Marketing, Communications Strategy at Deutsche Telekom. The company has broken up its media processes into five "Lots": media strategy and steering; media analytics services; campaign planning and buying services; programmatic buying operation services; and search advertising and affiliate marketing services.

Donald Trump has hurt the U.S. global brand image significantly, dropping it in a year from No. 1 to No. 6 in the overall ranking of 50 countries, according to the just-released Anholt-GfK Nation Brands Index. The U.S. was the only country in the study to see its overall Index score decline this year. That decline came mainly from the "governance" ranking in the survey, where the U.S. fell from No. 19 last year to No. 23 this year. .chart-headline { Continue reading at AdAge.com

Forty percent of you will be "robo-replaced" by the year 2035, according to Tiana B. Holt, principal at Faith Popcorns BrainReserve, citing an Oxford University study. Holt, a panelist at Ad Ages Next Conference, advises that rather than fear this, people should make peace with technology as "the evolution of humanity." In addition, Holt says that marketers are so focused on millennials that they are missing the boat with 50-plus consumers, who "control most of the wealth," but "we just want to sell them pharmaceuticals."

Mary Ellen Matthews has put some of the biggest celebrities in the world in some strange situations. Shes wedged Andy Samberg into an olive in a martini glass, dressed up Sarah Silverman as a chambermaid and had real-life Donald Trump spritz ersatz Trump hairspray on his coif. Its all part of her job as lead photographer for "Saturday Night Live," where her portraits, including those iconic bumpers that appear before and after the commercials, are as integral to NBCs sketch comedy show as Kate McKinnons Kellyanne Conway impersonation. Matthews celebrates her 25th anniversary with the show this year, having joined as an assistant photographer in 1992 and rising to lead photographer in 1999, succeeding the great Edie Baskin. Now in its 43rd season, "SNL" is arguably more relevant now than in Matthews earliest days at Studio 8H, where the show broadcasts from inside 30 Rockefeller Center. "SNL" is enjoying its second-most-watched season in 23 years, just behind the previous one, which averaged over 11 million viewers per episode. Continue reading at AdAge.com

The communications strategy of the 45th president of the United States is notoriously erratic, off-the-cuff and, of course, Twitter-centric (and egocentric). Occasionally, though, President Trumps tweets can sound almost quasi-presidential, which has led various media observers to presume that sometimes theyre ghost-written. For instance, at 11:34 p.m. last night, Trump tweeted thoughts-and-prayers-type sentiments about a community affected by a mass shooting: May God be with the people of Sutherland Springs, Texas. The FBI and Law Enforcement has arrived. [UPDATE: The tweet has been deleted. Ive replaced the tweet embed above with the verbatim text of the deleted tweet.

The Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity is going on a diet, trimming the events length, cutting back prices and streamlining awards. The Cannes modifications follow backlash from agencies and holding companies complaining that advertisings biggest event of the year has gotten too expensive. WPP CEO Martin Sorrell told Ad Age this June that "the problem with Cannes is its become too expensive" and Publics Groupe announced during last years festival that it will take a year off from Cannes and all other awards programs to shift its spending toward a new AI-powered professional assistant platform named Marcel. Over the last four months, festival organizers have met with stakeholders, including marketers, sponsors, creative leaders, holding companies and agencies, to gather qualitative and quantitative research and feedback on the festival. Their changes come as other awards programs also rethink their formats, including the International Andy Awards, which last week announced a sweeping overhaul. Continue reading at AdAge.com
Heres the way I see it: The difference between old and new media publishers (or traditional and digital-native publishers, if you prefer) is that, while both struggle to stay afloat, some new media companies just dont quite realize it yet. Ive been thinking about the economics of all publishing in recent weeks as more and more bad news has come out of medialand. Cond Nast, for instance, announced it was shuttering the print edition of Teen Vogue and cutting back the frequency of many of its glossies (e.g., Architectural Digest and GQ will go from 12 issues per year to 11). There was also some extreme bad news that came out of the digital-native world: Local news sites DNAinfo and Gothamist (which DNAinfo had acquired only in March) abruptly shut down. But the bottom line there was obscured by some high drama. Continue reading at AdAge.com

On Sundays season finale of HBOs "Last Week Tonight," John Oliver devoted his signature operatic deconstruction/take-down segment to the Trump presidencyparticularly to the way the 45th president of the United States uses internet-style trolling (on and off the internet) as a disinformation and diversionary tactic. Oliver also announced that while his show is on hiatus, hes bringing back the so-called Catheter Cowboya folksy, cowboy-hat-wearing commercial spokesman Oliver first introduced in February (see "John Oliver is running ads on cable news to educate just one viewer: Donald Trump") specifically for the benefit of the famously low-information president. Whereas early in the year, Oliver placed ads on Fox News, CNN and MSNBC in the Washington, D.C. market to target Trump, now that we all have a better sense of the TV-addicted presidents viewing habitshe really only seems to consistently watch one cable-news network (especially his favorite show, "Fox & Friends") these daysOliver plans to only buy ad time on Fox News. Oliver starts talking about the new Catheter Cowboy ads at the 21:10 mark in the video above, and previews the first full ad, which covers "clean coal" and Frederick Douglass (spoiler: Frederick Douglass is dead)at 21:55.

So youve probably seen the news that a San Francisco billionaire named Tom Steyer has launched something called "Need to Impeach." He says he plans to spend ten million dollars running commercials to rally people to sign a petition to impeach Donald Trump, who he says has, quote, "brought us to the brink of nuclear war, obstructed justice, and taken money from foreign governments," end quote. Among the outlets that ran the ad: Fox News. Continue reading at AdAge.com
While brands and social media influencers typically love to have followers, there is one most hope to avoid: the Federal Trade Commission. The FTC has made it clear that it is watching activity in social media channels, and that it is prepared to take action against both advertisers and influencers if "material connections" between an influencer and any promoted product or service are not clearly and conspicuously disclosed. Given the FTCs increased attention to noncompliant social media posts, it is likely a question of when, not if, additional advertisers and social media influencers will be targeted in formal enforcement actions. Although the FTC is operating without a full slate of commissioners and juggling competing priorities with limited resources, it has maintained a focus on influencer marketing. While some of that focus involves providing guidance -- such as the release of an updated set of FAQs answering 20 new questions about whether and how social media influencers should make disclosures in their social media posts -- the FTC has also signaled it is prepared to take action to ensure that marketers and businesses understand their legal obligations.

Todays heated political environment is putting brands in a tough spot. Even if they dont want to get involved, one ad in the wrong publication can lead to a massive boycott and scads of angry posts in social media. Many brands are making efforts to spare their reputation by erring on the side of caution -- which, today, typically means steering clear of right-leaning sites. While that may be the right path for some brands for which politics are inextricably linked to the essence of the brand, its not necessarily the best direction for most brands to take. For starters, consumers come in all political flavors and, generally, brands dont cater to that aspect of their behavior anyway. After all, you dont see "Charmin for Democrats," or "New Libertarian Laundry Detergent!" Additionally, lets not forget the independents, whom often fall into both Democratic and Republican buckets. Theres little opportunity to gain new customers based on their political leanings, but a lot to be lost by targeting away from them. Opportunity lost Continue reading at AdAge.com
Hillary Clinton popped up as a surprise participant in the recurring "Jokes Seth Cant Tell" segment on last nights "Late Night With Seth Meyers." (She was also formally interviewed in another segment on the show; see below.) For most of the segment, which is based on the premise that "There are some jokes that just sound wrong coming from Seth," it was just Meyers and his staff writers Amber Ruffin (who gets to tell the black jokes) and Jenny Hagel (who tells the lesbian jokes). But at the 2:55 mark, Clinton showed up to demonstrate that she somehow has a sense of humor about the fact that she continues to be a punching bag for conservative mediaa certain cable news network in particular. Meyers set up the joke by reading a news item: "According to a recent report, koalas may be extinct by the year 2040." At which point Clinton said, "And according to Fox News, thats my fault." (Your serve, Fox News. Surely the Clinton Foundation can be linked to the plight of the koala?) By the way, at the start of Clintons sit-down with Meyers, he wished her a "Happy Unhappy Anniversary" (she lost the presidential election to Trump a year ago yesterday).

Brad Parscale emerged with a busted lip after an on-stage interview with Michael Isikoff, chief investigative correspondent at Yahoo, about his role in helping Donald Trump win the presidency. To be clear, Isikoff and Parscale did not trade any physical blows Wednesday at the Web Summit in Lisbon, but there were certainly some verbal jabs by Isikoff -- some arguably unfair -- that drew cheers from the 10,000-plus members in the audience. Instead, it seems that at some point during the interview Parscale, who serves as Trumps digital media director, bit his bottom lip. Parscale is widely credited for helping Trump win the November election by serving highly relevant ads with precision targeting to swing-state voters on platforms like Facebook.

When Prince Alwaleed bin Talal was arrested as part of an anti-corruption probe in Saudi Arabia, it was the latest twist in the story of a billionaire who has courted international attention -- while cloaking his investments in secrecy. Alwaleed is among the 11 princes, four ministers and dozens of current or former senior officials arrested on orders from a newly established anti-corruption committee headed by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, said a senior Saudi official who spoke on condition of anonymity. The wealthiest of the arrestees, Alwaleed was picked up from his desert camp, the official said. Authorities didnt disclose the allegations that prompted the action. Despite his being the 50th-richest person in the world, with a $19 billion fortune according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, details on the source of Alwaleeds wealth must be gleaned from his public statements, the website of his holding company and company filings. Often his transactions and assets are disguised by investing through funds that obscure the ultimate beneficiary. Continue reading at AdAge.com
Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group raised its outlook for full-year revenue growth after reporting its fastest pace of sales since its record 2014 initial public offering -- an indicator of strong Chinese consumer spending. With sales growth of 61 percent booked for the September quarter, billionaire Chairman Jack Ma is now pushing deeper into shaking up Chinas old-school retail sector. Alibaba, Chinas biggest company, is enlisting half a million mom-and-pop shops as part of a drive to woo customers both online and in-store as it opens its wallet to boost services to merchants on its platform. Thats on top of an avowed $30 billion spending plan for everything from artificial intelligence and cloud computing to logistics. Cloud computing revenue doubled in the September quarter, cementing its place as one of Alibabas fastest-growing businesses, in direct competition with Amazon.com Inc. and Tencent Holdings Ltd.

Facebook is planning to tell a Congressional panel in more detail just how deeply Russian ads and posts infiltrated the news feeds of U.S. voters on its social network, according to prepared testimony obtained by Bloomberg. At a Senate Judiciary subcommittee hearing Tuesday, General Counsel Colin Stretch will say that 29 million people were directly served content from accounts backed by the Internet Research Agency, a pro-Kremlin Russian group. Those posts, after they were liked, shared and commented on, traveled to the news feeds of approximately 126 million people at some point over a two-year period, his testimony states. Thats equivalent to about 40 percent of the U.S. population. Facebooks testimony portrays the company as shocked about Russian use of its platform for political means -- and eager to come up with solutions so it doesnt happen in the future. The planned remarks underscore that the social network is doing its part to coordinate with Congress so investigators can understand the problem. The hearing Tuesday and two more planned for Wednesday mark the culmination of a weeks-long communication offensive with legislators, including blog posts, executive outreach and the hiring of crisis public relations firms. Facebook may be betting that being helpful and conciliatory now makes it less likely to face cumbersome regulation, though the company says it is open to some legislation on advertising.

So apparently were supposed to be pleased that Twitter will no longer take money from the Kremlin-backed Russians, who have been trying to manipulate the American political system. As Ad Ages Garett Sloane reported, the social network announced on Thursday that its banning ads from RT formerly known as Russia Today and comrade news agency Sputnik from Twitter. Hilariously, RT fired back with a post pointing out just how eager Twitter was to accept RTs money in, you know, less complicated times. Continue reading at AdAge.com

Ikea U.K. is throwing a house party to celebrate its 30th birthday, and everyones (kind of) invited. The Swedish furniture retailer has taken over a house in Londons Soho neighborhood and recreated typical living rooms from the 80s, 90s and the noughties, as well a space dedicated to the home of the future. Public tickets to the night events, which start Wednesday and go through Saturday, were gone in 24 hours, but people can still "join" the party via VR headsets in Ikeas stores around the country. And no tickets are required to visit during regular store hours. Continue reading at AdAge.com
Even before the internet was firmly established, Peter Brabeck-Letmathe, chairman emeritus and former chairman and CEO of the Nestl Group, strove to establish a one-on-one relationship with consumers. His view was that mass communications was no longer effective. "You have to become more and more a one-on-one partner with your consumers. But in the early 90s that wasnt the model, Peter told me in a video interview for his induction into the Advertising Hall of Fame. When ad agencies bought media for Nestl campaigns, they wanted Nestl to broaden the message by increasing frequency. "[They said,] Make your sending strong. Push more, and I said no. If Im not recognized by the individual as a partner, they wont listen to me." Continue reading at AdAge.com
Kellogg Co. tapped Natures Bounty Chief Executive Officer Steven Cahillane to run the breakfast-cereal giant, turning to an outsider to help reinvigorate moribund sales. Cahillane, 52, will take the helm on Oct. 2, when current CEO John Bryant steps down after seven years, the maker of Rice Krispies and Eggo waffles said on Thursday. The new chief also will take the chairman role from the 51-year-old Bryant, but not until March 15. Cahillane -- once considered a potential successor to Coca-Cola Co. chief Muhtar Kent -- will have to contend with a slowdown in the packaged-food industry and a particularly pernicious slump for cereal. Sales in the $9 billion U.S. cold cereal market have declined for four straight years, according to data tracker IRI, forcing Kellogg to look to new areas like salty snacks for growth.

Uber says that it will appeal the decision of Transport for London, issued Friday, not to renew its license in the city. Just an hour after Transport for London, backed by London Mayor Sadiq Khan, said it had found that Uber was "not fit and proper" to hold the license after it expires on Sept. 30, Uber retailiated in a statement, saying that "Transport for London and the mayor have caved in to a small number of people who want to restrict consumer choice." TfL has today informed Uber that it will not be issued with a private hire operator licence. pic.twitter.com/nlYD0ny2qo Continue reading at AdAge.com

WeChats U.S. invasion continues as its parent company Tencent builds out ad services for American brands looking to reach Chinese consumers. The Chinese mobile messaging giant, with 963 million monthly users, is opening an ad bureau inside its Palo Alto, Calif.-outpost to start promoting the service to U.S. advertisers.

Frank Bennack Jr. got his start in business as the poor mans Dick Clark. Frank, now the executive vice chairman and former CEO at Hearst, hosted a dance program called "Times for Teens" in his hometown of San Antonio. He even sold ads for it. I asked him if he ever wanted to have a career in show business. "The short answer is not different from what Ive been able to do, and that is to gather some assets from Hearst that fit the category [of entertainment] in general," he said. "Who would imagine that I would ultimately end up running a company that owned as many television stations and cable networks et cetera as we do? So, very valuable early training."

A breakthrough by a Swiss chocolate maker expands the industrys hues beyond just dark, milk and white. Barry Callebaut AG, the worlds largest cocoa processor, has come up with the first new natural color for chocolate since Nestle SA started making bars of white chocolate more than 80 years ago. While it has a pinkish hue and a fruity flavor, the Zurich-based company prefers to refer to it as "ruby chocolate." The new product may help boost sales in a struggling global chocolate market that producers hope has touched bottom. As Hershey cuts 15 percent of its staff and Nestle tries to sell its U.S. chocolate business, ruby chocolate raises the possibility that next Valentines Day may arrive with store shelves full of natural pink chocolate hearts.

I was patched from when I was 2 and then had glasses for several years after that. My eyes did completely recover, and now I'm almost 40 and don't have to wear glasses at all - not even for reading.
I didn't like it at the time, but I'm very glad that my mum made me do it!

Thank you all very much for your responses.
I will get the patches and hopefully he keeps it on.
He likes to watch Peppa pig so maybe that will make him keep it on.
I appreciate your responses

The two things I found super helpful:
1) if they don't tolerate the sticky patches get a good quality cloth ones that fits onto the glasses
2) when you first start with a patch on don't do anything that your child needs to interact with their environment as their vision will be quite different and keep their hands busy so they can't pull the patch off. We started off wearing it while we went for a walk in the pram and gave DS a snack to keep him busy, we also put his favourite DVD on when we got home.
Also if you need to use the sticky patches stick them to your jeans first to remove some stickiness so it doesn't irritate their skin. Good luck

Would I need to tell,him to close his good eye? Or just normal? I feel like it will be torture for him. Poor baby
10-05-2016 15:45 #17
Any successful eye patching stories?
Nope they just carry on as normal, no need to close eye. If he will be wearing glasses I highly recommend the cloth ones. The first few times are hard but they adapt really quickly and completely forget they are wearing it. We even did it for 2 hrs every day at preschool. They were wonderful in helping out

We made a reservation, but found out it wasn't the right location for us. A mistake on our behalf ofcause. I cancelled the reservation within the timelimit for refund, but Stig still hasn't gotten back to us. It has been five days and we haven't seen the money yet. Hopefully we w…
Response from Stig:
There was no cancellation on the booking. In summertime, Åhus is a place where loads of people visit and my cabin wasn't available in the calendar for other guests to book for the entire week. If there would have been a cancellation according to AirBnb terms you would of course have gotten the money back. Now the cost for cleaning and laundary were allready ordered and couldn't be cancelled. 10 beds were laid and all was set for you to move in during midsummer in Sweden. Never has there been a situation like this with us and guests has been welcome and satisfied here for 30 years.
