Before installing the Jive connector plugin, make sure that the Mindbreeze server is installed and that this connector is also included in the Mindbreeze license.
The Jive connector is available as a ZIP file. This file must be registered as follows using mesextension on the Fabasoft Mindbreeze InSite server:
mesextension --interface=plugin --type=archive --file=JiveConnector<version>.zip install
PLEASE NOTE: An update of the connector can be performed via the same mesextension command. Fabasoft Mindbreeze InSite automatically performs the required update.
To uninstall the Web connector, all Jive crawlers must first be deleted, then the following command must be executed:
mesextension --interface=plugin --type=archive --file=JiveConnector<version>.zip uninstall
When selecting the installation method, select "Advanced".
Click on the "Indices" tab and then click the "Add new index" icon to create a new index.
Enter the index path, for example, "C:\Index". If necessary, adjust the Display Name of the index service and the associated filter service.
The Option "Use ACL References" has to be activated.
Add a new data source with the symbol "Add new custom source" on the lower right.
If not already selected, select "Jive Software Jive" with the "Category" button.
Using the setting "Crawler Interval" you can configure the amount of time that should elapse between two indexing runs.
In the field Crawling Root, you can specify a URL where a Jive sitemap is accessible. If the Mindbreeze sitemap generator add-on is installed on your Jive server and a sitemap is generated, the URL <Jive URL>/rpc/rest/mindbreeze/sitemap?jobid=full should be here.
In the field "URL regex" you can define a regular expression, which sets a pattern for the links that should be indexed.
If certain URLs are excluded from the crawl, they can be configured using a regular expression in "URL Exclude Pattern".
If the DNS resolution of certain Web servers doesn't work due to network-related reasons, you can specify the Ips using the "Additional Hosts File".
If you want to add specific HTTP headers (for example, Accept-Language), you can adjust this using "Accept headers".
With the "Use Stream Parser" option, a stream parser for processing the sitemaps is used. This option is suitable for sitemaps with a lot of URLs.
In this section (available only when "Advanced Settings" is selected) the crawl speed can be adjusted.
With the number of crawler threads ("Number Of Crawler Threads") you can define how many threads should simultaneously pick sites from the web server.
"Request Interval" defines the number of milliseconds that the crawler (crawler thread) should wait between the individual requests. However, a "crawl-delay" robots instruction is always taken into consideration and overrides this value.
In the "Proxy" section you can enter a proxy server if your infrastructure requires it. Enter the computer name and the port of the proxy server in "Proxy host" and "Proxy Port".
The Jive Connector can also log in to the proxy using HTTP-BASIC. Enter the user into the "Proxy User" and the corresponding password in "Proxy Password" if the connections should be made through a proxy with authentication.
In the section "Basic access authentication", a "credential" can be selected, which is used in the basic authentication for HTTP requests. A credential of the type "Username/Password" should be entered here.
If the Jive sitemap is accessible with HTTP form authentication, the login parameters in section "Form Based Login" can be configured as follows:
In the Mindbreeze configuration, open the "Indices" tab and add a caching Jive principal resolution service.
Specify the directory path for the cache and change the "Cache In Memory Items Size" if necessary, depending on the available space of the JVM.
The service will be available at the specified "Webservice Port". If multiple principal resolution services are configured, make sure that the ""Webservice Port"" parameters are different and the configured ports are available.

The Lyric Videos For Bon Iver's 22, A Million Are Trippy As Hell
Something tells us Kanye's watching these and thinking "Whoaaaaaaaaaaaa"
Bon Iver celebrated the release of their first album in five years, 22, A Million, with a series of listening parties across the country complete with murals and newspapers bearing its artwork.
It's no shocker, then, that the first lyric videos accompanying songs off the hypnotizing record are just that.
For "715 – CR∑∑KS," vivid illustrations, surreal shapes, and bright colors pop underneath a blinking cursor that gives way to the song's lyrics as caps lock and Autotune synch up in perfect harmony. (But seriously, this may be the first time "OoOoOo" has been written out exactly as it sounds in an official capacity.) Justin Vernon's voice clones itself and harmonizes accordingly, and the text box format helps get the devastating blows of song's words.
With "29 #Strafford APTS," we're presented with a digital kaleidoscope instead of a straightforward lyrical agenda, the letters of the verses taking shape atop dizzying patterns and technicolor shapes. The lyrics hit the angles and dissolving frames of photos and zig-zags in the same floaty, weightless capacity as the music itself, offering a physical interpretation of the track's vibe more than anything else.
Bon Iver will be touring in support of 22, A Million throughout the fall; after a brief run in Europe, they'll kick off their American tour at Oakland's Fox Theatre on October 18.

Frame Capture of the application itself
Hello all,
I am a beginner with Qt and I am trying to take a frame capture of the application itself. In the examples, I found desktop screen captures and web frame captures. Do you have any idea please how I can do the frame capture of what is visible on the screen to the user (it should be tab in the application where he is when he clicks on the frame capture button).

Somewhere in the middle, it was just too much for Valiosa.
Like a suburb-mom OD'd on pompoms and paisley – she was done with it all. Bolted down the hill almost killing us both among the rocks.
That was about as exciting as it got on our last trail ride with our friends Vivian and Orion. The rest, a piece of cake, and she even went into a shallow part of Folsom lake without having a fit.
Last week we trailered to PEC just to school, so that Orion, who is also only 5 could get a chance to see it before next month's show. No exciting fun pictures from that trip. Really, how many shots of a horse tied to a trailer can you stand?
This trail ride was SO much better! Thank you Vivian for a great day!!
Sterling Point Staging area at Folsom Lake is great!

Our fitness clubs are always open so you can workout anytime to suit your lifestyle. There are a couple of different models however the main M5 model has a footprint of 25 x 46.1 inches – even smaller than the ACT above.
The United States Department of Agriculture, which is responsible for setting the daily recommended allowances of various vitamins and other food substances for human consumption, collects and provides information about fitness alternatives, the status of fitness in the country, and how well Americans participate in fitness programs.
These fitness centers come with the correct information relating to health, fitness, work outs and exercises. A lot of you heard about what International Fitness was doing in Oregon and wanted a Gym near the Gateway Mall. There are some superior brands of commercial and residential (home) fitness equipment designed to suit all budgets. Depending on an individual's physical capabilities, fitness programs or goals are set which the participants try to accomplish as part of their recovery program. In addition to your heart rate, the Health app stores information collected by all your health and fitness apps, so you can see the data in one clear snapshot. Fitness equipment is substantive for the right exercise and a full body work out.

Another added bonus is there are interactive conference calls and webinars with fitness experts to help answer those special fitness questions. Libraries have medical journals, magazines, and many books that can inform people about the ways to become fit and to maintain their fitness levels.
Most of these fitness workouts can be done with very little added equipment or expense. When you partner with International Fitness its like having a full staff of wellness professionals working just for you! When you look at fitness and nutrition and the consequences of ignoring their importance, it is not difficult to see how large a role they play in our health.

She is brought into the Alfea School, in another dimension, where she and her new friends are trained in how to use their magic winx.

Do you like using a browser that has a mountain of security issues? How about a browser that does not support some of today' s features that help create great web experiences, features that modern browsers offer. Do you like working on a browser that is older than 10 Years?
Then you should upgrade from Internet Explorer 6.
You might feel comfortable using this browser, heck; it's been with you since you first purchased your computer. There are even 20-30% of typical website visitors who use it. But using this browser is ultimately bad. Bad for users, bad for businesses and bad for web.
Ultimately the biggest issue is security. Internet Explorer 6 is over 10 years old; this browser is out leagued when compared to the protection of newer browsers (Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, even Internet Explorer 7, 8 and 9). Newer browsers also offer better browsing experiences with new features, such as tabbed browsing, plugin support, and speed.
In terms of business, Internet Explorer 6 lacks today's current web standards, and instead of having designers build new innovations for current browsers, they are forced to spend time to make sites function in Internet Explorer 6, through hacks and other unconventional measures. This is extra time spent that could been subtracted from production or reallocated to improving the web experience for the siteIt also makes maintenance harder and sometimes makes sites run slower.
Upgrading is not hard to do either. Just Google any other type of web browser (Firefox, Opera, Chrome, Safari, even Internet Explorer 9 ) and click on the install. After a few clicks you'll be set up with a better, faster browser experience.
Let's help to make the web a place of innovation and continuing development, upgrade from Internet Explorer 6 today! Below you'll find a few options that will get you started

KIRCHER, Athanasius. La Chine ... illustre de plusiers monuments tant Sacrs que Profanes, et de quantit de Recherchs de la Nature & de l'Art. Amsterdam: Jan Jansson and the heirs of Elive Weyerstraet, 1670.
2° (376 x 245 mm). Engraved additional title page, 2 engraved folding maps, 3 folded plates and 19 (of 20?) full-page plates, numerous half-page engravings in text. (Apparently lacks plate Qqq "Le Hiam ou Cerf musqué" listed in the Table, some occasional light browning and spotting, marginal repair on Y2, corner repaired on Aa, stain on M4.) Contemporary French armorial binding: full brown mottled calf, gilt-fillet borders on covers, interlaced gilt initials at corners, arms gilt-stamped in center on sides, raised bands, spine compartments gilt with interlaced initials, red morocco lettering piece (rebacked preserving original spine, somewhat dried and worn). Provenance: Hélie du Fresnoy (1614-1698; binding).
FIRST EDITION IN FRENCH. La Chine is regarded as one of Kircher's most historically significant works. Kircher was a man of considerable learning and discrimination, which he brought to bear with considerable success on the sources he used for this work. Kircher drew on the work of the Jesuits in China including Johann Adam Schall, Bento de Goes, Martin Martini, Johann Grueber, Michael de Boym, and Heinrich Roth. The first edition (1667, in Latin) of this work included for the first time in print important accounts and documents relating to geography, botany, zoology, religion and language. Kircher's work was the first to include a vocabulary of Chinese and the first to include reproductions in the West of the Sanskrit alphabet and grammar. In the present edition both maps were re-engraved, as was the plate facing p. 184 (p. 168 in the Dutch edition, see previous lot).
Cordier Sinica I, 26-27; Lust 38; Morrison II, 138; De Backer & Sommervogel IV, 1064; Pei-t'ang 272. On the library of Hélie Du Fresnoy, see Baron Jeróme Pichon, "Memoir sur M. du Fresnoy, bibliophile du XVIIe siecle" (Paris, 1893); Bibliothèque Raphaël Esmerian, II, p. 68-71.

The hops aren't all that's green at Houston's 8th Wonder Brewery.
8th Wonder Brewery cofounder Ryan Soroka talks craft beer, sustainability, and shaking off them haters.
First, there was the Astrodome. Now, Houston is home to the second "8th Wonder of the World": 8th Wonder Brewery. Located in East Downtown and open eight days a week, according to its owners, this dome-shaped hops haven is the perfect place to warm up before heading to a stadium downtown to cheer for the home team.
"A brewery is the perfect blend of art, science, and business," explains Ryan Soroka, cofounder of 8th Wonder Brewery and self-proclaimed "entrebrewneur." The 8th Wonder team has worked for years to combine their various skills and achieve that perfect blend — and the perfect brew. Their customers keep coming back for their high-quality craft beers, the result of fresh ingredients, strict flavor analysis, and obsessive quality control. But it hasn't always been easy.
"I think everyone along the way has haters … we thank those people, too."
Ryan Soroka, cofounder of 8th Wonder Brewery
It took two years of applying for permits and scrounging together start-up capital to get 8th Wonder Brewery up and running. In order to keep the business from going belly up in the early days, they even crafted their own root beer to hold customers over until the actual beer was done brewing.
And like everyone with a dream, 8th Wonder Brewery faced opposition from naysayers bent on convincing entrepreneurs everywhere that their ideas will fail — the haters. But as Soroka puts it, "I think everyone along the way has haters … we thank those people, too, because they motivate us and [they] are just as responsible for getting us here as the people who supported us."
"Sustainability was always a part of the vision of this company."
Ryan Soroka
Not only is 8th Wonder Brewery successful, it's sustainable. If you don't want to sip your signature craft beer from a reusable glass, they also offer recyclable and compostable cups. And they contribute literally tons of used grains every day to farms, not landfills. Considering used grains can make up as much as 85 percent of a brewery's total by-product, just imagine how much compost and feed we could provide farms nationwide if every brewery donated theirs.* "Sustainability was always a part of the vision of this company," says Soroka. "Taking care of the environment and the world we live in is personally important to me, as well as to my business partners."
8th Wonder relies on Waste Management for their waste and recycling needs. They even had an incident with a stolen dumpster, but fortunately, Waste Management was there to replace it for them in less than a day — so Soroka and team could continue focusing on beer, not burglars. As Ryan Soroka attests, "Stolen dumpsters are a real thing." If you or a loved one has been terrorized by a mysterious dumpster thief, please visit www.wmssi.com.

LOS ANGELES --The wait time for Metrolink commuters is on the rise.According to the Riverside Press Enterprise, the percentage of trains that arrived within five minutes of their scheduled time declined to 90 percent last month. That's a five percent difference from September.
The San Bernardino line and Inland Empire-Orange County line have some of the lowest on-time rates.
During the peak commute hours, 74 percent of Inland Empire-Orange County trains arrived within five minutes of their scheduled time.
Mechanical problems are largely to blame.

I'm not on Google+ yet =(
raging drunk lad:
I think my biggest gripe about Facebook before was how I'd get constantly spammed by people who played FB games.
That doesn't happen so much anymore.
Do you hate Facebook because it is now the new form of life for all idiots that can create a account or for it's set-up in general?
You know, it feels like it isn't catching on as much as I thought it would. Kinda like Google Wave.
I don't really see the point of a lot of these social network things, thus I haven't really spent more than a few minutes on Google+. It seems nice, if that's what you're interested in doing.
I don't find it is the social network that bothers me. People bother me. It's my fault though. If I take out the idiots then maybe I would like it. I only like Google Plus now because it's most of my techie friends that add me on it. Instead of the idiots I went to high school with. Obviously I care more about what my friends from around the world have to say than the animals in my own backyard. Sad huh?
Ed : it's still under beta and invite only, so right now it's mostly geek users discussing the meta of it... I think we'll really see the potential once the service opens at large.
Right now a lot of people I know don't want to try it because they don't have a need for it's current version. As they roll our new features (games, celebs accounts, business act, etc) it might also pick up speedand or usability factor.
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

Refresh Your Carpet
Is it time to make your carpet more inviting?
- Remove furniture dents. Run a key or coin over the indentation. The carpet should fluff up again.
- Shedding Pets? Spread carpet lightly with a mixture of 1 part fabric softener to 3 parts water. Let dry and vacuum.
- Odor eater. Crush dry used tea leaves, sprinkle on carpet. Let sit for 10 minutes to absorb odors. Vacuum.
- Goodbye stains. Dampen a clean, white cloth with club soda and blot the area to make a fresh stain disappear fast.
- Pooch proof. Once clean, lightly spray the spot with half vinegar and half water mix. He won't go there again.

If you love to eat { which I suspect you do if you're reading this blog }, and you have an Iphone or Ipod Touch then you will be glad to know that Jamie Oliver released his second Iphone app yesterday – Jamie's Recipes. Oh, and did I mention it's FREE?
I spent the better part of yesterday playing around with it and I must say of all the recipe apps i've tried, this one is by far the most aesthetically pleasing and practical.
To start with there are three videos – Jamie introducing you to the app, while standing in a bright light drool-worthy kitchen space, a lesson in knife skills that will save your pinky, { heaven knows I have had many a blood gushing knife incident in the kitchen in my lifetime..}, and a tutorial on how to place your chopping board. Jamie reassuringly walks you through this basics and get's you set for what's to come.
recipes for free or downloadable packs for a fee
Next you have two options to select from – free recipes that come with the app or the option to download a 'packet' of ten recipes for $2.99. Recipe packets are varied, with categories such as 'Brilliant Breakfast and Brunch' to '10 minute meals' to '20 minute vegetarian dishes'.
ingredient listing that can be sent to a shopping list
Pictures of the finished product are incredibly well styled. Each comes with a summary of the dish, a list of what you will need in terms of both equipment and ingredients and a step by step 'how-to' guide with pictures. Then, and this is my favourite bit, with a quick click you can add all the ingredients to a shopping list for when you go to the supermarket.
how-to directions
Last night, I found myself in bed, going through the Banoffee Banana Split recipe, adding it's contents to my shopping list, then popping over to my Fresh Direct app and creating a request for the items to be delivered to my home..all from under my quilt!
Ladies and Gentlemen, we have officially reached The Future.
This new app is so very easy to use, I highly recommend it and will be playing with it in the weeks and days to come. Let me know if you download it and make something delish!

Grand Feel Compact Wooden-Key Keyboard
The Kawai CA58 features the latest keyboard design and responsive action. The GF Compact action has been designed to replicate the authentic touch characteristics of leading Grand Feel keyboard actions.
Using the standard long wooden keysticks for all 88 keys and the same seesaw action featured on centuries old pianos, the extended pivot point in this compact design provides more consistency when playing towards the rear of the keyboard. This technology pushes the CA58 to the top of its class rivaling even their grand pianos.
The CA58 incorporates grade-weighted hammers, counterweights in the bass region and let-off simulation. The triple-sensor key detection system allows you to repeat a note (such as trills) and produce a smooth natural sound.
Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and Kawai EX Grand Piano Sounds
Two of Kawai's flagship grand pianos are sampled to produce a rich and expressive sound. The Shigeru Kawai SK-EX and EX have both been faithfully sampled in order to create an upright digital piano with the sonic capabilities of a high-end grand piano. Making use of Kawai's advanced Harmonic Imaging XL technology, with complex algorithms and extra long sampling, the sounds are true across the dynamic range - from a delicate pianissimo to a rapturous fortissimo, without any sudden changes. With the 256 note polyphony, notes will not 'drop out' unexpectedly during intricate passages.
Virtual Technician
The Virtual Technician feature allows various settings to be amended at the touch of a button, whether it be for the instrument, reverb settings or damper settings. Individual tuning and volume can even be adjusted for individual notes and stored to memory for easy recall.
Versatile Connectivity
Bluetooth allows the piano to communicate with your smart device and you to use the Sound Museum and Virtual Technician iOS apps to adjust settings remotely. A range of educational and teaching tools for aspiring pianists can also be accessed. More advanced features such as Dual and Four Hands mode divide the digital piano into two distinct halves allowing student and teacher to practise together on one instrument. The advanced Spatial Headphone Sound technology provides extra realism to the sound when using headphones and therefore helping to reduce auditory fatigue when used for long periods of time.
Using the powerful in-built MP3/WAV recorder and player, song files can be loaded from a USB device and played through the powerful 100W 4-speaker system. Performances can be recorded, overdubbed and shared online. USB-MIDI and MIDI connectors allow you to hook up to a computer and stereo Line In and Line Out connections allow use in larger venues.
Modern Cabinet
Housing the CA58 is a premium quality cabinet with a flat fascia and raised upper board for a classic upright feel. The broad music rest has been especially designed to accommodate larger scores with a high quality surface and a round design. Adjusting the angle of the music rest makes it easy to accommodate any player's preferred playing position.

uk select committee urges government adopt flexible system eu migration uk governments exiting european union select committee third report
The UK Government's Exiting the European Union Select Committee in its third report on its inquiry into the UK's negotiating objectives for withdrawal from the European Union, published on 3 April 2017, urges the Department for Exiting the EU to continue making the argument in Government that the future system for EU migration needs to be flexible enough to meet the needs of the economy across the UK. The UK's membership of the European Union has shaped the business of sport and how sport is governed and regulated in the UK, with significant factors including the specificity of sport, the freedom of movement of people and services, landmark rulings coming out of the European Court of Justice, and harmonised regulations. The decision to leave the EU has the potential to re-structure the sporting landscape in the UK, especially relating to the freedom of movement of people and services, which has benefited professional football, amongst others, enabling UK clubs to attract foreign professional players and enabling transfers into the EU.
"The Government's position on EU migration post-Brexit is still unclear," said Andrew Osborne, Partner at Lewis Silkin. "There have been some statements of general principles in the White Paper and from the Prime Minister but beyond knowing that free movement will end and we will continue to attract 'the best and the brightest' there is no detail as yet. The future shape of the immigration system will be determined in part by the exit negotiations but also by what is practically possible in terms of the current resourcing and structure of the system that applies to non-EU migrants. At the moment the Points Based System governs the entry of non-EU footballers to the UK and requires establishment at international level or exceptional talent. It is likely that a form of the current system will apply to EU players in the future and is likely to cut the numbers that qualify to come to this country and play. The top clubs and players will not be impacted very much but teams in the EFL are likely to find it harder to sign talent form the EU."
The Committee states that whilst it agrees with the Secretary of State that immigration from the EU has made an important contribution to many sectors of the UK economy and that, while reducing net migration remains an objective of the Government, this should not be done in a way that damages the economy. "Future policy will be an important element in the forthcoming negotiations, given the linkage frequently made between 'free movement' and access to the Single Market," states the Committee report.
The Committee's third report follows the publication of the Great Repeal Bill: White Paper on Legislating for the United Kingdom's withdrawal from the European Union on 30 March 2017, which presents the Government's proposed approach to achieving a stable and smooth exit from the EU. The White Paper proposes the conversion of the body of existing EU law into domestic law, and the creation of powers to make secondary legislation to enable 'corrections' to be made to the laws that would otherwise no longer operate appropriately. Following the UK's exit from the European Union, the UK Parliament will then decide on which elements of the law to keep, amend and repeal, which 'ensures that, as a general rule, the same rules and laws will apply after we leave the EU as they did before,' states the White Paper.
"Theresa May's suggestion of a period of implementation of any Brexit deal is some comfort as this may mean the current free movement arrangements continue for a period after the UK leaves the EU. However, the Great Repeal Bill will not address the rules of any particular governing body and these may need to be considered where they refer to EU membership - for example, the FIFA Rules on the Status and Transfer of Players permits international transfers for under 18's in certain circumstances within the EU - whether the UK can be considered as part of the EU for the purposes of these rules after Brexit but while transitional provisions are in place will need to be considered well in advance," adds Libby Payne, Solicitor at Withers LLP. "The White Paper makes it clear ECJ case law, key decisions such as Bosman, will effectively be incorporated into the laws of the UK. Whilst the UK Parliament can legislate to overturn such decisions, unless it does so, governing bodies may be limited in the changes they can make to their rules which would contravene such decisions."

Who is mentally ill? will be the question after reading a news about Hindutva brigade in Maharashtra, attacking a mentally ill woman who was begging for her foods, for not saying "Jai Sri Ram" as demanded by the RSS gang.
A mentally ill woman was living on the road side in Nagpur town, begging for her food. Two men, said to be associated with the RSS gang approached the woman and demanded her to shout "Jai Sri Ram" and "Jai Hanuman". As the woman is mentally ill, she was not able to understand what the men were demanding and hence she kept mum.
The RSS men attacked the woman with a long plastic tube in which she cried in pain. She also cried for help at those who were witnessing the crime against her, but the people watched her being attacked just remained laughing and making fun, but no one came for her help.
Few among the public captured the scene in their phone and happily shared the same in social media. The mentally ill woman said those words as demanded by the RSS men and only then the Hindutva goons left the place leaving her bleeding.
Maharashtra police arrested the two RSS men and there is no further news of any legal action taken against those two criminals.

Based on the critically acclaimed Japanese novel, All You Need Is Kill by Hiroshi Sakurazaka, Edge of Tomorrow stars Tom Cruise as a man who repeats the same day over and over, trying to find a way to defeat an alien force.
But does the film feel like something we've all seen, over and over again?
Thankfully not – Edge of Tomorrow is a solid fast-paced summer blockbuster from start to finish, and one of my favorite movies of the year so far. The film focuses on Cruise who plays William Cage, a military spokesperson with no combat experience, that is thrust into the front lines of an invasion that leads to a massacre. Waking from death, Cage discovers he has jumped back in time to the beginning of the day prior to the invasion, and soon realizes this will happen every time he dies. From here he attempts to take advantage of his newfound power and try to prevent this massacre and defeat the aliens, known as "mimics."
Cruise gives another stellar performance, as do the rest of the cast. Emily Blunt stars as a war hero who previously held the power to repeat the day, and coaches Cruise's character is combat. Other notable supporting roles come from Bill Paxton, as an over the top Master Sergeant, and Noah Taylor, a doctor working to find a way to defeat the aliens.
Beside Tom Cruise, the true star of the film comes from outstanding visual effects. The aesthetics and atmosphere of the locations really do give way to a world on the brink of destruction. The war scenes are intense and brilliantly choreographed to make future tech and aliens feel grounds. The aliens themselves feature a very unique look, something akin to the sentinels from The Matrix, only even faster and more organic.
If I could fault Edge of Tomorrow in any way, is that a key element of the film relies heavily on an over-used sci-fi trope, that we've seen as recently as Ender's Game and even one of Cruise's last films, Oblivion. In the end, it's not a deal-breaker as the characters and way the story progresses definitely soar far above this detail.
Edge of Tomorrow is one of the funnest, most action-packed films I've seen this year, and a definite high note for the summer.

In my urban fantasy novel, GLORY, Hallelujah is an intrepid demon-fighting Australian Shepherd. In one scene, exhausted by her courageous mission, she is asleep on the couch, on her back, all four legs in the air, and "snoring like a drunken bear." I imagined she was dreaming about being a hero. One of the things I love about animals is that they are utterly unselfconscious.
Since my Facebook friends always post such wonderful photos of their furbabies, I asked for pictures of them sleeping in unusual places or positions. Please enjoy a sampling of what they shared with me:
Leonora Bor posted this photo of a two-day-old foal named Morgan under a saddle blanket with Maggie the cat on top of her. "Morgan laid down right next to me to sleep and once she and I had warmed up the saddle blanket, Maggie graced us with her presence."
Peggy Beisel-Mcilwaine's Bull Terrier, Lily, enjoys her favorite sleeping position!
This is Carol McLaughlin's Tuck. A comment made by Margaret Guthrie in response to the posted photo was, "Ah, I see Tuck is attempting the complex reverse frog layout! That will get high scores from our judges. Sorry, couldn't resist – too much Olympics."
Shelly Hollen-Wood calls her Australian Shepherd, Cherry, "my special deflatable dog who doubles as a throw rug."
This is Holly Regina Press's Marley. Yikes that sure looks uncomfortable!
Maria Scott said this was Misty's preferred sleeping spot until she outgrew the table:
Togetherness. Susan Ernstrom Roberts' Dora and her sister. Being a Christmas elf is tiring…
More togetherness. Katie Kupfer's Boots and Reis getting cozy.
And a whole LOT of togetherness in this photo of The Wonder Dogs, a team of Border Collies famous on stage and television in Australia. Visit their Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/thewonderdogs
Amy Cheatham's Blu in his toy box after chasing away all the toys:
And, finally, this is Echo who fell asleep in her food bowl, exhausted, but happy to have found a new home:
When I asked my Facebook friends what they thought their furbabies dreamt about, these were some of their thoughts:
Janet Walden-West: "Kit – pleasing me. Blush and Lola – FUN! The cats? God help us all."
Brooke Morgan: "I often watch them sleep so peacefully and wonder that myself. I've come to the conclusion they must dream about the same things we dream about: love and companionship, good food, wonderful conversation, and extracurricular fun things."
Toni Cramer: "My Border Collies lay and twitch their paws to beat the band with little yips for accent. They are racing in flyball and chasing each other and balls in the yard. Other dogs probably dream of a home and being snuggled and having enough to eat and being brushed and having a person to bond with…"
Dreams. We all have them. And, yes, I believe theirs aren't so different from ours.
"The soul is the same in all living creatures, although the body of each is different."
"Life is as dear to a mute creature as it is to man. Just as one wants happiness and fears pain, just as one wants to live and not die, so do other creatures." ~His Holiness The Dalai Lama
May all their dreams come true.

"Working with Becky not only improved my math skills but transformed me into a more confident student. With my newfound math skills and confidence I excelled in school and made my dream of going to Boston College a reality. Becky has changed my life and I will forever be grateful." –Graduate of Friends Academy, Locust Valley, NY
"Becky not only helped improve my chemistry grades, she also boosted my self-esteem. With Becky's help, concepts that had previously seemed difficult became easy to understand. She is fully dedicated to her students as demonstrated by her willingness to meet as many times as required to prepare for exams. After only a few sessions, I felt far less stressed. Through integrating her yoga techniques, I was able to relax and feel confident in myself as a student." –Student, Convent of the Sacred Heart High School
"Working with Becky taught me about my own work ethic. She is encouraging, supportive and organized. Despite my learning disability which makes math especially challenging, Becky helped me become more confident and my grades improved as a result. She worked with me at my own speed and was understanding of my difficulties. She is an inspiring and helpful tutor and I would not be where I am academically today without her." –Student, University High School, San Francisco
"Rebecca was extremely helpful for my daughter in science, both biology and chemistry. My daughter was struggling in freshman biology as the level of work expected was far higher than she had in middle school. Rebecca was especially helpful because she did not just tell my daughter the answers but instructed her on how to find them herself. Her assistance has made my daughter a much stronger student across other subjects. While Rebecca met with my daughter weekly at the beginning, after a few months my daughter was working more on her own and only asked for Rebecca's help when she was confused. Last year when Rebecca told us she was moving to New York, my daughter was worried. However, today she is in AP-Chem and doing very well on her own using the skills that Rebecca taught her. I highly recommend Rebecca as a tutor." –University High School Parent, San Francisco
"Becky's patience and teaching style not only made school easier for me, but also made learning an enjoyable experience!" –Bishop Diego High School Graduate
"I can't think of a better combination than learning and yoga. There is no one better to guide your child than Rebecca! As a mother, I can appreciate Becky's humor, gentleness and incredible intelligence and know that any child would be lucky to learn from her. As a yoga instructor, I have witnessed first hand Becky's love for and commitment to yoga. She is a gifted yoga practitioner with ample training and her enthusiasm is truly contagious. She has a grounded but light and easy way about her that makes her a pleasure to be around for any reason. It is a gift to have Becky in our lives!" –Stephanie Snyder, Yoga Instructor, San Francisco
"Becky worked with me for two years in high school. She is a tremendous reference on many subjects in math and science, and environmental science in particular. Becky helped me with homework, labs, projects, test preparation and study guides. Her dedication never left me without assistance when I needed her most. Her extensive knowledge enables advanced understanding of subject matter and makes sessions with her enjoyable." — University High School Graduate
"Becky's teaching methods were modified to the ways I learned best. I consider myself a better visual learner and for chemistry, we made large mind-maps on sticky boards so I could look at and memorize information while associating it with other concepts. I have been tutored in nearly every subject in middle school and high school and there has been no more effective and fun tutor than Becky. Thanks, Becky!" –University High School Graduate currently attending Columbia University
"Becky's advanced yoga training with Ana Forrest makes her an excellent choice to support your needs to calm and clear your mind, relax your body and settle into an experience of learning that promotes courage and the strength to meet life's challenges as new opportunities. Becky is not just teaching you something she went to school to teach. She is one of those amazing guides that practices what she is teaching so that you know what you are getting has real results, benefiting you and the lives of those around you." –Les Leventhal, Yoga Instructor, San Francisco
"Prior to meeting Becky I hated math! Her tutoring helped me improve my math scores in school and on the SAT!" –Bishop Diego High School Graduate, currently applying to law school
"As I am a beginner in yoga, Becky Frymer helped me by taking me to a yoga class and explained to me strategies to improve my flexibility, as well as versions of difficult moves that were easier for me, so that I could learn over time. As a result of spending time with her at classes, my confidence and technique in yoga have greatly improved." –Student, University High School
"Rebecca Frymer came highly recommended by the Dean of my daughter's High School and we were not disappointed. Rebecca worked with my daughter for more than a year and in that year not only did her Chemistry grades improve but so did her self confidence. Rebecca was always on time and was very flexible during exam week when we requested extra tutoring." –Parent, Convent of the Sacred Heart
"Rebecca worked with my son for several years, who is now a thriving student at Columbia University. She assisted him in biology, chemistry, physics, and AP environmental science. She improved his organizational skills, focus, and overall motivation and stayed at our home until the very late hours of the night before exam days to ensure he was fully prepared. Rebecca is excellent at breaking down large tasks into more manageable steps. Her support helped him achieve his potential at a highly regarded school and he thoroughly enjoyed working with her." –Parent, University High School
"Becky has been a wonderful resource for our daughter, Colette. We consider her a mentor, role model and friend. Colette's confidence as a math student increased quickly while working with Becky. She really seemed to get the way Colette learned which is huge." –Parent, Montecito Union School

Marketers, this is no time to sleep! Generation Z, today's teens, is already having a major impact on the economy and emerging as a global consumer force. To engage the most digitally and socially active generation to date, brands need to step up their game…and fast. The oldest Gen Z'ers are on the cusp of adulthood and about to disrupt everything you thought you knew about marketing.
A convergence of consumer trends, technological advances, and rising health care costs is prompting retailers to broaden their services to include in-store health and wellness services. Retailer health services include health care clinics, wellness programs, and other consumer-focused initiatives, in addition to pharmacies. For marketers, retail health care centers offer an opportunity to engage consumers at the point-of-service and encourage better communication.

Opinion: Forget the #FakeNews, Social Media Advertising Sells | WMIJenna Manula, Director Social Media Marketing
It's easy to take an opinionated stand on an idea without supporting data, but it's another thing to have it published from a credible source without #RealData. I'm talking to you, Mark Duffy! In case you missed it, Mark wrote a biting column on Digiday about the ineffectiveness of Facebook advertising, chock-full of what I would call #AlternativeFacts.
As the social networks began to rely on advertising revenue to fuel growth, they began refining their advertising portals to comply with monetization demands. This evolution began in 2014, and successful results—actual product sales—have been realized on Facebook and Instagram from Q3 of 2016. That is why I am deeming 2017 the Year of Social Advertising.

Today's teenagers are the first generation to have grown up alongside social media. Their childhoods have been documented on their parents' Facebook pages; now they're establishing their own personas on Snapchat and Instagram. An emphasis on visual content has shaped the way Generation Z teens perceive themselves and research shows it's having an effect on their self-esteem—68% of girls and 55% of boys say their appearance is a somewhat or very significant source of stress, and 30% of girls and 13% of boys feel bad when comparing themselves to others on social media. In fact, 57% of teenagers say that social media is one of the biggest sources of pressure to look good, second only to peer pressure (68%).

What's the first thing you do in the morning? If you reach for your phone before you've had your first sip of coffee, you're among a good portion of Americans that do so. But it's a little known fact that the mobile behavior consumers engage in first, will determine what they will do throughout the day. For example, 65% of users who start their day with a shopping app will continue to shop on their smartphone throughout the morning. In our infographic, we learn how marketers can use morning messaging to seize the day!
Social Media Week is one of the industry's premier digital media conferences. This year's event, held in New York City during the last week of February, brought together industry leaders from Facebook, Google, LinkedIn, The New York Times, and GE, among other innovators in technology, entertainment, and retail. Their presentations ranged from consumer research to marketing trends and best practices, but more importantly, the conference offered an opportunity to engage in conversations about the impact of social media, emerging technologies, and how to leverage these trends for our clients. Here are a few of my key takeaways from Social Media Week 2017.

If there's one thing almost every American can agree on, it's that we love to eat! From New York City's famous bagels to California's fresh, healthy cuisine (and so much in between), food is an important part of our rich cultural heritage. When it comes to finding inspiration and recipes, Pinterest is the place to go. Food is the largest category on the platform with more than 15 billion pins and its rich data offers a bounty of insights into what foods consumers crave across the country.

An increase in allergies, a rise in chronic conditions such as diabetes or gluten intolerance, and the obesity epidemic have prompted consumers to re-think their diet. Although many of these conditions are managed by health professionals, consumers are increasingly aware of the vital role nutrition plays in their health and wellness. Today, forty-eight million American households have at least one person managing a health condition with diet, representing $268 billion in annual grocery sales. In our infographic we explore how food brands have an opportunity to engage this consumer with packaging information, healthy lifestyle tips, recipes, and other content and share on social and brand website.

Although fragrance industry sales dipped 6% globally in 2016, perfume is still considered a desirable luxury item – 75% of Millennial women reported purchasing fragrance to treat themselves and 59% of Millennial men said they use scented personal care products. In our infographic, we look at what Millennial women and men look for when they're searching for a new fragrance.

How to Get the Best Amazon Marketplace Results | WMIMatt Strietelmeier, Director SEM Services, Flying Point Digital
Amazon has emerged as the leading destination for consumers searching for product information. Forty-four percent of consumers start searches for products on Amazon, beating out Google and other search engines as the place to discover the items they want to buy. Amazon's wide array of brands and products, abundance of customer reviews, and one-click checkout offer consumers a convenient one-stop shopping experience. But just listing your products on Amazon is not enough; to win, marketers must optimize search visibility on Amazon just as they do on search engines. Longtime e-commerce and SEM expert Matt Strietelmeier offers his perspective on boosting a brand's Amazon Marketplace results.
Millennials love the thrill of discovering something new and unique. They're adventurous travelers, eager to try the latest exercise trends, and excited about indie beauty and fashion brands. This passion for exploration extends to their palates—almost half of all Millennials consider themselves foodies. Small food brands have excelled in engaging Millennials with craft and small-batch products that complement their healthy lifestyle and desire for innovative new products—and that's hurting established mainstream brands. Today, small brands represent a 49% share of the premium market, while mid-tier and private label/retail brands account for 25% and 23%. Growth among the larger premium brands was a paltry 3%.

Today, couples don't want a cookie-cutter wedding, they want a celebration that truly reflects who they are. Millennials are getting married later (the average bride in the U.S. is 29, and average age for grooms is 31) and are more invested creating a personalized experience for their guests. In our infographic, we illustrate how they use social media to discover the products and services that will make their big day unique and the latest trends in weddings.

Although your Instagram feed may be filled with images of expertly made up beauty bloggers, most women aren't getting up in the morning and creating a multi-step hair and makeup look. With time at a premium, 59% of women say they prefer a natural look for every day and are seeking products that enhance their looks rather than trying to cover up or alter their appearance. Today, women feel less pressure both from society and from their peers to always look flawless and feel more confident with their overall appearance. A more open and inclusive approach to beauty is having an effect on the way women approach their beauty routines.

Millennials are increasingly comfortable shopping for apparel online, whether it's athletic wear or shoes. Sixty percent say they have done so and the emergence of mobile shopping and explosion of brands on social media have made it easier and faster than ever before. While more women may be browsing online, they continue to enjoy the experience of in-person shopping, which allows them to see, touch, and try on clothing before they buy.
Filed Under: Fashion
Not so long ago, health conscious consumers had to shop at specialty retailers to find their favorite eco-friendly products and organic foods. Today, almost every grocer has a section dedicated to natural and organic products and demand continues to grow. Although Millennials are driving this trend and filling approximately 60% of their shopping cart with these products, older generations are also eating and living clean—34% of Generation X shops organic. In our infographic we explore the purchasing priorities of the health and wellness consumer.
