Pop-up System, a cost-effective solution for your retail displays
Are you looking for a retail display that you can update easily and affordably? Would you like to be able to set-up and run your own promotions? Do you need an impactful marketing display that you can travel with?
This is all possible with retail display specialist, Scan Retail's, latest product: the Fabric Pop-up System.
The Fabric Pop-up System is a portable display system that can create stunning promotional displays for retail. Like other pop-up systems, it's a walled display structure made out of collapsible frames on which you attach graphics. It can be easily assembled and compactly packed away by one person without any tools, making it ideal for travel and quick set-ups and breakdowns.
However, it's also very different from a traditional pop-up system, largely because it uses fabric graphics instead of vinyl graphics. This yields many benefits:
- Fabric prints cost less than vinyl, making this system an ideal long term investment because of the low cost to refresh and update your marketing message.
- Vinyl graphics risk damage if not handled carefully, whereas fabric graphics are more durable.
- Vinyl is heavier and bulkier, and has to be packed into plastic drums for storage and transporting, unlike the Fabric Pop-up System which is lighter and fits into smaller carry bags (about ⅓ smaller than the drums). This makes travelling with the Fabric Pop-up System easier and more cost-effective.
- Fabric graphics have the option of backlighting. Walls transform into lightboxes, using backlit fabric and an LED curtain clipped into the back of the This produces an even, vibrant light that will make your retail display 'pop'.
The Fabric Pop-up System's modular design also offers unrivalled flexibility. Much like Lego blocks, you can mix and match different structures, creating endless set-up options. This gives you the freedom to adapt your retail displays to your message and product.
Scan Retail offers 27 packages of pre-designed display configurations. Alternatively, you can purchase individual walls (straight or curved, and of varying heights) or request a custom-designed display using the system.
The cost saving potential of this product is significant when you consider:
- The product itself is very affordable to buy and is built to be re-used.
- You can add parts as needed, to update your displays over time.
- Fabric graphics are inexpensive, so your marketing message can change as often as you need it to.
- You can do your own set-ups, so there is no labour cost involved.
- It transports well, so it is ideal for promotions in different cities around the world.
Justin Hawes, MD of Scan Retail, describes the product as "revolutionary". This is because it empowers retailers to take full control of their own marketing displays. "It also has great potential for use across Africa, because it's durable, easy to use and travels well," he adds.
The Fabric Pop-up System also comes with a number of accessories, including:
- Counters
- Shelves
- Brackets to mount screens
- Clip-on spotlights (Halogen and LED options)
- LED curtains for backlighting (for walls and counters)
- Stabilising feet

Job Search Channels Guide
In respect to managing a Job Search, there are 5 main channels for this:
1. Advertised Vacancy Applications
2. Recruitment Consultants
3. Connections & Networking
4. Speculative Approaches
5. Work Experience
The first two are the primary method for accessing the advertised job market.
The other three are the primary methods for accessing the unadvertised (hidden) job market.
1. Advertised Vacancy Applications
Many job vacancies are filled via formal advertising campaigns. These adverts are usually placed online and also in some cases in offline media such as the legal press.
The ads are placed either by recruitment consultants or by direct employers (i.e. firms or in-house departments, or the HR teams there).
Online Legal Job Vacancy Websites
Set up job alert emails at the most relevant online job boards.
I recommend the following specialist legal jobs boards as a minimum:
• http://www.totallylegal.com/newalert/
• http://www.simplylawjobs.com/create-jobs-by-email-alert-new
• https://jobs.theguardian.com/jobs/legal/
You can also look at these additional job sites:
• https://www.reed.co.uk/jobs/legal
• https://www.indeed.co.uk/Legal-jobs
Google Alerts
In addition to subscribing to the main legal job websites, I recommend you set up a catch all alert for other jobs that may be advertised elsewhere.
To do this my preference is to use Google Alerts. Essentially, it means you can receive an email alert every time Google adds some new content to it's search engine in connection with a specific search term. It takes the legwork out of searching Google regularly on the off-chance new job vacancies have been posted online that you haven't yet seen.
So, for example, you can set up a Google Alert for the search term "intellectual property solicitor job vacancy". You will then receive an email from Google every time it adds a related piece of content to its search engine. This should pick up all new job vacancy adverts posted online on any website.
I recommend you set up multiple alerts for all the variations of search terms that might relate to your targeted jobs.
You can access Google Alerts here: https://www.google.com/alerts
To set up your own tailored alerts you can find instructions here:
- https://support.google.com/websearch/answer/4815696?hl=en
- https://www.wikihow.com/Use-Google-Alerts.
If you're still struggling, search on YouTube as there are plenty of videos showing how to do this.
Legal Press
Here is a list of the legal press you should be reviewing each time a new issue is published:
1. Law Society Gazette [weekly]
2. The Lawyer [weekly]
3. Legal Week [daily]
Law Society Gazette
Solicitors with a practising certificate get a print copy of the Gazette free of charge.
Alternatively, some libraries and universities may have a print copy so check that out.
If you are unable to find a print copy you can download a free PDF copy each week here: https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/recent-issues
The jobs adverts are towards the back.
Perhaps a better way is to track the latest job ads online here: http://jobs.lawgazette.co.uk/?=lshome
The best way to track jobs to ensure you don't miss any is to set up email alerts here: http://jobs.lawgazette.co.uk/newalert/
You can create up to 5 different email alerts.
The Lawyer
You can see the subscription plans here: https://www.thelawyer.com/subscription-plans/
If you register with them you can access the Jobs Board free of charge.
You can access the jobs here: https://jobs.thelawyer.com/
Again you can register for email alerts - the system is the same as the one for the Law Society Gazette jobs (but the jobs will be different).
Legal Week
An online magazine publishing news about the legal profession and law firms, as well as jobs.
Digital Access = £29.17/Month (see: https://store.law.com/Registration/Default.aspx?promoCode=lgwst)
You can read 5 articles every 30 days for free - click on an article on the main website and register when prompted - http://www.legalweek.com/
You can access the jobs here: http://www.legalweekjobs.com/
The best way to track jobs to ensure you don't miss any is to set up email alerts here: http://www.legalweekjobs.com/newalert/
You can create up to 5 different email alerts.
2. Recruitment Consultants
Advertised Vacancies
Most recruitment consultants will advertise their vacancies on the main online legal job boards and/or in the legal press.
If you are searching in a specific geographical area you might also search for the most relevant local legal recruitment consultants online. You can then see if they have email job alerts for the jobs they are advertising for their clients - not all will have, so you would need to join the database for each one (see below).
For example in Manchester: http://www.bcllegal.com/jobs
Join Their Database
To find suitable recruitment agencies to contact you can Google them in your area. Alternatively, take a look at the main online legal job websites and identify which recruitment agencies are advertising positions similar to those you are looking for.
You can contact recruitment consultants with a general enquiry about the sort of work you are looking for.
If that is the type of work they help their clients recruit for they will put you on their database and make a note of the type of roles you are looking for.
They will then get in touch with you as and when they are instructed by their clients to find candidates for a vacancy that matches your interests.
Myths & Realities
Many candidates have a misconception that recruitment consultants somehow take candidates on and represent them. It is thought the consultant will promote the candidate to their clients and try to find the candidate a job. Whilst this is not wholly untrue its quite far off the mark.
Recruitment consultants find people for jobs, not jobs for people. They work for the clients looking to fill vacancies not for the candidates looking for a job.
That said, there are circumstances where recruitment consultants will have conversations with their clients about strong candidates. These will be part of their usual dealings with their clients and will most likely be quite an informal mention of the candidate and a summary of their background. If the client thinks they might have a vacancy coming up in the future or a potential staffing need at some point they might ask to find out more about the candidate and even set up an initial meeting.
So it is worth registering with various recruitment consultants and asking them to mention you to the clients you are a good fit for.
However, do not expect too much or give the consultant a hard time if they don't find you a job. It is for you to find your own job, usually via the job ads that recruitment consultants or the employers themselves publish.
3. Connections & Networking
Some of the work you do at the exploration stage will revolve around conversations with a variety of people.
Whilst the primary purpose of those conversations at that stage was research and information gathering, the secondary purpose was making and strengthening connections in your network.
It is this network and the conversations you have with individuals in it that will help you access the hidden job market.
You will find that conversations sometimes naturally lead to discussions about possible jobs. Or that someone in your network will get in touch out of the blue with a new opportunity they have become aware of.
4. Speculative Approaches
This one speaks for itself and is very much a numbers game.
I don't recommend spending much time on it. It's best to save it for when you identify a perfect organisation for you and your skills but you don't have any way of getting a warm introduction to someone who works there to set up an informational interview meeting.
5. Work Experience
As well as being the best way to research a role and organisation, gaining work experience is also a great way to impress and sell yourself into a more permanent job.
As well as the more formal work experience placements and internship route, it is also possible to get exposure to sectors, roles and people via volunteering opportunities. Or you can offer to volunteer your time to an organisation on a more informal basis to learn more about what they do.

Well, it sounded good so I thought I would give it a try. One thing I did notice was that there were no spices or salt so I added a teaspoon of Old Bay. I screwed up by not adding as much cheese as it calls for but it was still pretty good. It would have been better with more cheese. Next time, I will reduce the eggs to two and put in more cheese, more green pepper (maybe 2 TBSP) and more onion and about 1 1/2 teaspoons of Old Bay.
That does look and sound good.
I'll give it a try this summer.
Thanks Guys

Sometimes young couples will ask Jenn and I how we knew we were ready to have a baby. The answer is simple: no one is ever ready! You're never 100% prepared for the chaos that comes from bringing a human into the world!
The same is true when it comes to steps of obedience…
"Farmers who wait for perfect weather never plant. If they watch every cloud, they never harvest."
— Ecclesiastes 11:4 NLT —
God doesn't need us to watch the clouds; He wants us to walk in faith.
The conditions will never be 100% ideal to obey.
There will always be a reason to sit back and stay comfortable.
Familiar is always more comfortable and predictable.
You may launch out with more questions than answers.
Whatever that step of obedience is that you need to take, the best time to do it is when God says to do it. The best time to obey is right now; not just when circumstances are ideal.
There's a Chinese proverb that captures this concept well.
"The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is right now."
If you want to see the harvest, you have to step out.

So my last post was all about the beauty of small town living. It was a heartwarming experience and I wanted to share it with all of you. It made me feel happy about living among the cows and the small town folk, it really did.
I had another medical experience this week when I took my son in for his appointment with the pediatrician to follow-up on the chest x-ray. Considering all other medical experiences I've had have been in cities (or at least suburbs) I can't help but think that this might be about living in a small town too. I don't know that I understood this scenario any better than the first that happened this week except this time it was the pediatric senior intern rather than a young broken snowboarder.
So I have to begin by saying – again – the parking was great, the wait was short, and we were given double the doctor face time than I've ever gotten in urban medical facilitates. All was good. The attentive, young, (and incidentally, gorgeous) intern went over our files and said she needed to go through some routine information. No problem. We answered questions about birth order, genetic diseases, past medical history, and the basic rundown. Then she asked the question.
"Do you and your husband or any other married couples in either of your families share the same blood?"
I was sure I heard wrong. She made the snowboarder's manners look like Martha Stewart. "I'm sorry?" I asked.
"Are any family members married, but share the same blood?" Her eyes didn't leave the clipboard.
"Like, incestuous relationships – siblings or cousins or something?"
"No…no way. Well, not that I know of anyway." (I didn't want to get too cocky – closet skeletons have a way of making the self-righteous eat crow!)
"It seems like an odd question, but you'd be surprised how many people answer that with a yes."
Okay – is this just me? What the heck is going on? Have any of you been asked that question in a medical exam, or is it my three eyes and my son's extra toes that made her ask? It's been a weird week for conversation…

A detailed analysis of the 2015 statistics on bank robberies has brought to light some general tendencies. The downward trend in the number of bank robberies continued in 2015. The total losses were however higher in 2015 with 27 608 147€ against 24 002 526€ in 2014.so an increase of 15%.
We should as well confirm the trend of stable total number of attacks on ATMs with 1364 attacks in 2015 against 1366 attacks in 2014. Regarding the CIT attacks together with ESTA we noticed a decrease in the current trend. Indeed, we can note that compared to 2014 with 261 attacks reported by EBF (373 by ESTA) there are 244 reported in 2015 according to our Members and 285 according to ESTA data. This means a decrease of 7% in 2015 for EBF data (and 23,6% according to ESTA data. We further noted that 1280 bank robberies were committed in 2015 against 1528 in 2014, i.e. 16,23 % fewer than in 2014. Once more, this year the number of bank robberies committed differs from one country to another (from zero in several places to more than 772 in Italy which represents 60% of the total attacks. In some countries the number of attacks remain relatively high (Spain 113, UK 88, Poland 67) after Italy.
The total of successful incidents represents 69% of the total incidents (882 incidents), The rate of unsuccessful incidents was significantly higher than the average in Belgium (50%), Luxembourg (75%), Estonia and Denmark (100%), whereas incidents were generally more successful in Portugal (83%), Slovakia (82%) Spain (80%) and Greece (79%). In 2015, the risk rate concerning bank robberies in the EU countries remain of 1/100. The risk rate is defined as the closest unit fraction of the number of attacks over the number of branches.
Over the past five years the average amount stolen per incident has increased of 9% overall, but it has known an increased of 37% solely between 2014 and 2015.

Two nights ago, Mark Maire Sr, joined Gregory and Al for the Final Family Reunion. RIP all!
I remember one time, maybe three years ago by now, when Gregory and I went to Battle Creek, Michigan to visit his family. By then Gregory was fairly advanced with his Dementia/ Alzheimer's and Mark had been ailing after a major heart attack.
Colleen and Junior were hosting dinner at their home in Augusta, Michigan. Gregory and I stayed with them during our trip. We were all ready and waiting for Mark Sr. and Diane to arrive.
After arriving and taking off their coats etc, Gregory and Mark greeted each other. I think that everyone in the family noticed the significance and importance of their greeting.
Mark could not talk because of the trachonomy and weakened throat muscles due to his stroke and Gregory no longer had command of his language due to the Dementia.
The two brothers smiled broadly at each other and embraced in bear hugs for what seemed to go on for many minutes. Not a word was spoken. Not a word was able to be spoken. Not a word was needed to be spoken.
The love that was exchanged; the empathy, the family history, the respect; needed no words. Everyone in the room could feel it.
Now, both Mark Sr and Gregory, with the addition of Al who died shortly after Gregory moved into the Lieberman Center, are embarrassing for eternity, expressing empathy and love and sharing memories; without needing to exchange a word.
This BLOG features periodic essays, poetry, life observations, anecdotes, and other musings.

Fear the Walking Dead will be back in September with the second half of season three.
The Nation and Broke Jaw Ranch have reached an uneasy truce, but can the Ottos and Walker's men really live side-by-side.
[Read more: How Fear the Walking Dead season 3 turned the show upside down]
How will the Clarks recover from their violent actions in the mid-season finale? And how are Salazar and Strand going to eventually reunite with the group?
We've got a little wait to find out those answers, but the show's cast were in San Diego this weekend answering fans questions about the show and revealed some secrets and spoilers for season 3B.
Here were six key things we learned from Fear the Walking Dead at Comic-Con.
1. Kim Dickens didn't know about Madison's secret past.
"I had suspisicons," she said. "That sequence revealing Madison's past was really satisfying to me. I thought it was really beautiful how it came about with this fracture between Madison and her children, challenging her on what she was doing.
"It was this beautiful moment where she this mother became a human to her children."
"Ultimately from her childhood, it's all been about protecting the ones she loves to stay alive.
2. Strand is ready for action
Speaking about those final scenes on the Abigail, Colman Domingo said: "We made a choice to give him a glint and a smile. It's very slight.
"He's ready to rebuild again. That's something that's in his nature."
3. Alicia isn't depending on Jake
"Jake and Alicia, Alicia and Jake. I got a lot of comments on social media about it," said Alycia Debnam Carey, who celebrated her birthday at Comic-Con.
"This is actually a young person trying to be normal. She missed out on college and her youth. It's not about her falling in love with someone, but it is a natural part of life, companionship. It doesn't define Alicia. It is ambiguous and that's okay. "
Sam Underwood got cheers from the crowd, when he added: "Women don't need men to survive."
4. Troy is smarter than we think
Daniel Sharman doesn't consider Troy a "hot-head" and believes he's actually a lot smarter than many viewers think.
"I think he's well aware he's being played [by Madison]," said the British actor. "But the fact that he gets to play this game and play this chess game is all part of why Troy loves Madison being there.
"Troy is enjoying the game as much as she is. In some ways maybe he's letting her think she's got the upper hand."
5. Zombies are taking over Frank Dillane's life
When a very young female fan asked if any of the cast ever had nightmares about the show, Frank confessed he often wakes up frightened by the infected.
"Zombies have started to infect my dreams…quite vividly," he revealed.
6. Ofelia is ready to fight
Mercedes Mason said that we will find a very different Ofelia when the show returns.
"She's realized now that she's her father's daughter and she's got to do certain things to survive. She's finally become a badass," she said.
"I can't wait for to meet up with Daniel Salazar."

The show returns for the second half of its third season with eight new episodes, airing on BT TV channel 332/381.

This Game is ADDICTING
I was at a hotel & this game was recommended to me. It totally sounded like my kind of game. The game is a little different being that it is a game book; however, none the less it is definitely a well made & well thought out game! I can't stop playing it. I'm not too big on reading, but the scripts are soooo intriguing! I honestly can't wait to finish the game & then restart it so I can make different game choices and see what kind of new plot lines I get into and how it will reshape my character. If the name of the app lures you in DOWNLOAD it, you won't be disappointed. It deserves 5 stars all the way around!
Fun Read
While this wasn't my typically genre, I really enjoyed reading this story. To be honest, I read this story a few times in many different ways. It was easy to fall into the story and chose what kind of assassin I wanted to be. My choices throughout the story were reflected in more than words, events, and outcomes. I loved watching my statistics change as the story progressed and see my final score at the end. I guess you could say I am competitive against myself and I have tried and successfully beaten old scores!
Great game!!! Fast-paced fun
I love Choice of Games and have played almost all of their games. This one is absolutely fantastic. It's exciting and draws you in from the very beginning and doesn't let up. There are lots of ways to play through which is great for replay value. I really like how every choice makes a difference and you can play exactly the way you want to play. The characters are interesting and help to create a vivid atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out.
Highly recommend.

1967 was a coast to coast (and worldwide) amalgam of cultural change, political questioning, personal liberation and psychedelic exploration. From Haight Ashbury to New York and beyond, the year's touchstones included the Summer of Love, the Monterey Pop Festival and events tied closely to the music of the times which has lived on persistently throughout the years. They don't call it classic rock for nothing..

2019 Nissan Frontier Review Conroe
2019 Nissan Frontier
- 17 City // 22 Highway MPG
- 152 Horsepower
- 2.5L 4-cylinder Engine
- 7-inch touch screen display
- Rear view monitor
- Full length, fully boxed ladder frame
2019 Frontier Overview
The new 2019 Nissan Frontier is a workhorse truck that's made to last. Whether you use your truck for business or for outdoor adventure, there's a Frontier model for you. Frontier comes fully stocked with a standard 2.5L 4-cylinder engine that gets up to 152 horsepower. If you prefer the responsiveness of a manual transmission, that's also an option here. Join us at Keating Nissan as we review the 2019 Frontier's other compelling features and specs.
2019 Frontier Cabs & Beds
Choose from several cab styles and bed lengths to get the job done. The Frontier can be built with a crew cab with a 59.5" bed, a crew cab with a 73.3" bed length, or a king cab with a 73.3" bed. An all-wheel drivetrain is also available to conquer tougher terrain. In the bed, the available 5-channel Utili-Track system gives you more places to anchor a stable tie-down. Top heavy cargo isn't a challenge with Utili-Track because its configurable metal cleats keep oblong items in place.
2019 Frontier Exterior
As always, Nissan is serious about the durability and safety of its vehicles. That's why Frontier is constructed with a full length, fully boxed ladder frame. This rugged steel construction doesn't cut corners for greater reliability wherever you're driving. There's also a host of advanced safety features to keep you and your crew safe on the road. We're impressed with the anti-lock braking system, traction control, and dual-stage front airbags. When decelerating, the electronic brake force distribution system can put more pressure on the rear wheels if you're riding with a heavier load. The onboard tire pressure monitor even alerts you if the truck's wheels have dipped below the optimal pressure.
2019 Frontier Packages
Every 2019 Frontier can be fully customized to fit your needs. The standard S trim includes a 7-inch touch screen display with a rear view monitor for practical everyday use. The SV 4-Cylinder Frontier comes equipped with enhanced amenities like a Bluetooth hands-free phone system, remote keyless entry, and cruise control. The SV V6 showcases Nissan's tremendously muscular 4.0L DOHC V6 engine that gets up to 261 horsepower. The SV V6's chrome bumper will turn heads as well. The Desert Runner Frontier is ready for the outdoors with boosted aluminum alloy wheels, fog lights, and an upgraded suspension system. The PRO-4X is serious about off-roading performance. It has skid plates, Bilstein shocks, and several selectable drive modes for when you run out of pavement.

People from all over Texas, including Conroe, The Woodlands, Victoria, and even College Station, have put their confidence in us to find their perfect vehicle.

Well, I am one weird human being! I am home. By myself right now. And, screaming and jumping up and down like a mad woman over THIS basketball game!! Ya see....I'm a U of M alum so when it comes to basketball....my blood runs blue! I'm sorry Patty! :)
And...two of my boys are at this game! And...I'm completely jealous! See....I love sports. And I really love Tiger basketball. The rest of my crew is at their grandparents watching it on their big screen probably jumping up and down and acting like I'm doing......they just have the company of others to have the fun!
So....here are my 3 precious kids lined up in the back of dad's car as they head to Memphis! They were so excited! And....the one in the middle is the one at the game!! He's with dad. I've wanted to call their cell phone 100 times and its still the 1st half.
Well, its finally half time. We are up by one I think. I'm so exhausted. I don't know how I'll get through the 2nd half. I hope your Saturday night is as thrilling as mine! And....I'm serious when I say that!
Um...its over now and my Tigers lost! I'm completely exhausted! :(

Three such handsome boys.Looks like they're not the least bit happy about the game. That is so neat that you all share that together. Forgive me, (I'm really not on top of this,) but U of M is University of Memphis?) My son went to Ole Miss when Peyton Manning was their QB, and those were some fun days.
I like basketball though better than football. I wished I were a true southern woman and loved me some sports! Being a 7th generation Texan, sports should have been a dominant trait.Not sure what the anomaly was.:) Happy b-ball!

What fun! I LOVE sports, too and basketball is my favorite. It should be lacrosse since my son plays for Michigan State University. I miss those days when my son played basketball.
You should have seen how pathetic I was when my kids were VERY young and I used to have a party all by myself on Opening Day of Detroit Tigers! I dressed them up similarly to your kids, but my son, John was just a baby, probably 3 months old. I put on, "Put Me In Coach'. You probably know the song! Anyway, thanks for the memories!

- 1/2 cup Short grain rice
- 1 1/2 cups whole milk
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 4-6 Basil leaves, chopped
- 1-2 mandarins
- 1/2 cup brown sugar for the pudding (or white according to your preference)
- 1 tbsp brown sugar for the tangerine
- Handful of mixed raisins, almonds and cashew nuts
- Pinch of cinnamon (optional and can be adjusted according to taste)
- 1 inch butter stick
- Put the milk and coconut milk in a heavy-bottomed saucepan. Add sugar, basil and cinnamon and heat on medium for 5 minutes.
- Add the rice and bring to boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer, stirring occasionally until the rice is cooked (about 20-25 minutes). The consistency should be smooth, the rice grains almost mushy. You may add more milk and continue cooking further until this consistency is reached.
- Heat the butter in a small pan, throw in the raisins and the nuts and brown them over low heat. Remove and add to the rice. Mix well.
- In the remaining butter, add mandarin wedges and sugar, and cook for a minute or two, coating each wedge in the syrup.
- Scoop up the rice pudding into small serving bowls, lined with the mandarins and serve warm.

In November 2007, the European Commission asked bankers to prepare common self-regulation guidelines to make it easier for their customers to switch banks. These rules will fi rst be tested at the national level. If self-regulation is not deemed successful the Commission will consider legislative intervention.
This initiative was decided after a consultation on customer mobility in 2007. It is consistent with the FBF's view that customer mobility is above all a national issue, as expressed in its observations on the June 2007 experts' report on customer mobility. If a European initiative in this area is deemed worthwhile, the FBF believes that it must be pragmatic and take into account the fundamental nature of the bank-customer relationship, which is founded on trust, proximity and quality of service, and the diversity of this relationship among the EU member states. Intra-bank mobility and the fact that many customers have two or more banks should also be taken into consideration.
According to this report, France's customer mobility rate stands at about the average rate for Europe, i.e. 7.75%. French banks have already taken steps to foster mobility.

Have you heard of scoring hotel images ?
Are you a large hotel group looking to simplify your image distribution or a small, independent hotel looking to extend the reach of their marketing? Certainly, a dynamic visual content management system (CMS) is what you need. Implementing a system like this will improve workflows on your side and increase engagement and bookings online. But what makes a dynamic visual CMS? Aside from a large, worldwide network of online travel distribution channels, your CMS provider should have these five elements:
• Scoring hotel images
• Tagging of visuals
• Tracking of visuals
• Delivery in correct specs and language
• Stellar customer support
Scoring Hotel Images
Firstly, let's discuss scoring hotel images, as it is extremely useful in auditing the quality of your visuals. These scores are based off of what is considered a high-quality visual and what is favored by OTAs. We at IcePortal use this scoring system to show where visuals are excelling and where they need improvement:
Consequently, ensuring your content meets this criteria will ensure optimal distribution to OTAs, GDSs, social networks, search sites and even your brand website. For the reason that a higher quality score directly correlates to a higher OTA ranking, better hotel online visibility and more bookings scoring hotel images is a must.
Visit us again for the next part in our blog series that will discuss the importance of a CMS that allows for tagging of visuals.
IcePortal helps clients manage and distribute visual content to over 11 million unique visitors a month on 1,000s of travel and local websites around the globe in nine languages. To know more about us visit our social profiles on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Google+; visit ICEPortal, or give us a call at (+1)954-893-6778. We would love to hear from you!

Amid debate over arming school staff, Parkland parent 'favors' governor's bill
TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott is dispatching the father of a student who died in the worst mass shooting in Florida history to amp up pressure on lawmakers considering a proposal to arm school staff, a move that the governor opposes.
Ryan Petty, whose 14-year-old daughter was killed in the Feb. 14 mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, stood side-by-side with the governor in both the state House and Senate chambers on Thursday telling them he supported the governor's plan, which does not include training and arming teachers in the classroom.
"I'm here to speak in favor of what the governor is doing," he said.
Along with the impromptu visits to House and Senate floor sessions, Scott has been meeting with House and Senate leaders doubling down on his opposition to arming school staff, but he has so far not taken the biggest step: asking lawmakers to remove the plan from their bill.
When asked why he doesn't call for the issue to be yanked, Scott said: "I want to continue to work with the Legislature. They know my position. I've been very clear."
Asked again about withdrawing the provision, Scott repeated himself, saying: "I don't believe we should be arming teachers. I believe we should be making sure we have the funding to support our law enforcement."
Pressed again on the issue, Scott didn't directly address it. Instead, he took another question and repeated himself: "I don't believe we should be arming teachers."
Scott has the state's biggest and most effective soap box. He is a two-term Republican governor who is as popular as he's ever been. He's widely expected to challenge Democratic incumbent Sen. Bill Nelson, the only Democrat to hold statewide office. That incentivizes GOP lawmakers to not pick fights with Scott.
"If the governor makes suggestions, we all listen very closely. I would think it would be impactful, but our chambers and the governor's office are working very closely to get it right," said Senate Majority Leader Wilton Simpson (R-Trilby).
The House and Senate are touting slightly different proposals to train school staff to allow them to carry concealed weapons on campus. Known as the "Marshal Program," it has been the biggest sticking point for many Democrats, who are vehemently opposed to putting guns in schools.
"If that was out, I would absolutely support the bill," state Rep. Evan Jenne (D-Dania Beach) said Wednesday. "I can't speak for others, but I get the sense many other Democrats would also be there."
Petty did not directly speak to his opposition to arming school staff, but asked members to make sure the death of his daughter, Alaina, and 16 other murder victims were not missed opportunities to push forward legislative change.
"As a tribute to her, I'm here today as a final act of service by my daughter to make sure this never happens again," he said. "This time must be the last time. We can make it the last time if we don't get mired down in the politics."

Considering the previous tutorial was about realistic shadows, its only fitting that the next one is about the long shadow fad. Even though Im referring to the long shadow effect thats been closely associated with flat design as a fad, I honestly like, it gives the flat design a sort of 2.0 feeling. Finally I will also present two handy tools for generating long shadows purely in CSS.
Note: If you are just starting out with Adobe Photoshop, and have a hard time following the basics presented in this tutorial. Consider going through our Adobe Photoshop Essentials series, before you dive in to more advanced material.
Step 1
Create a new document with size 730px by 420px and 72dpi. Right away fill the background layer with #d54442.
Step 2
Select the round rectangle tool, and as a foreground color chose #ffffff, finally create a shape sized similarly as the image below.
Step 3
Change the rounded rectangle tool for the rectangle tool, and change the foreground color to black. Now create a shape that is nearly as wide as our clock base, but a bit longer. Right after creating the shape, rotate it for 45 degrees. While still in the transform mode, shrink or increase the width of the rectangle in order to match the edges of the clock base.
Step 4
Change the blending mode of the black rectangle to multiply and the opacity to 25%, this will give you an even long shadow. If you want more of a gradient long shadow, leave the blending mode to normal, and decrease the fill to 0. Now add a gradient overlay to our shape, with an angle at -45 degrees, going from black to transparent, and blending mode set at multiply with opacity 20.
Step 5
With the rectangle or rounded rectangle tool, create the hands of the clock and center them to the base of the clock. Also while you are at it, create the 4 dots representing the hours of the clock with the ellipse tool.
Step 6
For this step we are going to need the pen tool, if you have hard time working with the pen tool I highly suggest you first give this tutorial a try (Photoshop Essentials: Pen Tool), in order to familiarize yourself with the pen tool.
Starting from the hands and finishing at the edge of the clock, draw a black shape with the pen tool. Keep in mind that this shadow needs to fall exactly like the earlier shadow, in a 45 degree angle. Also don't worry if the shape is getting outside of the clock or inside the hands of the clock.
Step 7
Position this shape from the layers palette, just above the clock shape. Right after that right click on the shadow shape, and chose create a clipping mask.
Step 8
Again for this shadow we are going to repeat the process from step 4, its up to you to decide if you want a gradient shadow or full hard shadow. The only difference here is, since this shadow falls on a white color, you will need to lower the opacity around 10% or even less, compared to step 4.
Once you introduce shadows in to flat design, don't be afraid to add a little depth to your elements just like I did in the feature image. You could also achieve a completely different look if you add a perspective to your shadows, instead of having them fall in a straight line. Furthermore you could try to overlap both shadows for even more dramatic look.
CSS Long Shadow
You can also create long shadow purely with CSS, but if you don't have the know how, here are two great open source executions of which you can take advantage: Codepen Long Shadow, and CSS Deck Long Shadow.

Lt Gen SL Narasimhan (Retd)
The stand-off in Doklam is entering the third month. It is worrying to see the kind of coverage that this incident has generated. Practically, every analyst seems to have war on his mind and they have been taking lot of pleasure in painting various scenarios. Television channels have been running operational discussions and some analysts from the West have been painting war scenarios and working on games theory. It appears the whole world would be happy to see India and China go to war. Needless to say, most of the people, covering the issue, do not know the Doklam area well.
Some reporters and analysts have written about the three warfares. Readers would recall a series of articles on that subject published by Defence Aviation Post. It is quite likely that China has put into action the three warfares technique.
The frequent question that one hears everywhere in India these days is that whether there will be a war between India and China. War is a very serious business and it should not be thought of in a cavalier manner like this. Fates of countries and societies change due to wars. One does not have go far to realise this. Let us take our minds back to the 1962 War.
Though the Indian Armed Forces alone cannot be blamed for the outcome of that war, it worked on their minds in addition to that of politicians, bureaucrats, diplomats and people of India, for almost three decades. This affected the bilateral relations between India and China adversely. Thankfully, it is fading away. Similarly, the result of 1971 war is still hurting all Pakistanis. The century of fumiliation has been on the minds of the Chinese and that may be a reason for the present stand-off in Doklam.
Coming on to Doklam issue, the rhetoric from the Chinese side shows no signs of abating. Media picked up and flashed a statement by Hu Zhiyong, a research fellow at the Institute of International Relations at the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, that China will launch an operation in two weeks and India's Ministry of External Affairs will be informed prior to that. China put out a 15-page fact sheet, incorporating all statements that were made earlier.
However, it failed to address the queries raised by India, Bhutan and others. On August 10, Colonel Zhao Xiaozhuo of Academy of Military Sciences wrote an article with a veiled threat to India in the People's Liberation Army website. It was not available in English. Many such articles have appeared for local audience in China. The spokesperson also put out reports saying that 48 Indian Army soldiers and one dozer were present in Chinese territory on the last day of July. Approximately one week later, he said 53 personnel and one dozer are still there in the Chinese territory.
It appears that China's strategy is not to let this issue go away from the media, its population and international glare. This is also one of the rare occasions in which China is trying to defend its action through various means by putting out a map and photograph first and there after the white paper. All-China Journalists Association hosted some Indian journalists to convey their view point. However, all these have been efforts to convey China's position in a unilateral manner. It seems to be oblivious to the fact that there are others who have different positions to China's on this issue.
Bhutan's Foreign Ministry, while speaking to the news agency, ANI, mentioned that Doklam belongs to Bhutan which was contrary to what Wang Wenli, Deputy Director General of Boundary and Ocean Affairs of China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated. This statement put paid to some sceptics who claimed that the statement issued by Bhutan on June 29 was under coercion from India. India's reaction has been consistent. It has been one of quiet, calm, firm and mature diplomacy.
The reaction to China's White Paper on Doklam issue was a simple statement that "India considers that peace and tranquillity in the India-China border areas is an important prerequisite for smooth development of our bilateral relations with China" and mentioned that there is no change to the June 30 statement issued by it.
A section of analysts have started feeling that it may be alright for India to pull back to give an option to China. Tactically that may be sustainable. But it will have disastrous consequences. Second, they will do well to remember that China respects strength and abhors weakness. Any show of weakness will be detrimental for all our future negotiations with China. It is not only about Doklam but also about the larger India-China relations.
As per reports, a major general level flag meeting held at Nathula on August 11 remained inconclusive. There were also reports that the Indian side suggested Chinese troops withdraw 250 m from their present positions that was rejected by Wang Wenli. He also asked how India will feel if China enters Kalapani area which is located at the tri-juntion of India, Nepal and China.
One is not sure whether India suggested such a thing. Both sides have mentioned that normal diplomatic channels have been functioning. Sushma Swaraj, India's Foreign Minister, has made two statements saying war is not an option but diplomatic solution is. All these indicate to the fact that despite the rhetoric, diplomatic discussions have been going on to resolve the issue.
As suggested by this writer in an earlier article, simultaneous phased withdrawal by both sides will be a workable solution. For that, the Chinese side has to accept that any changes to the area of tri-junctions need the concurrence of all the three countries involved. That may not be a difficult thing to do as it was a party to the understanding reached in 2012 regarding the tri-junction areas.
If China's spokespersons and some of its media continue to throw barbs at India, it will make it difficult for both sides to come to a solution to the present crisis. Since both the sides have taken strong positions, the Doklam issue is likely to take longer to get resolved. As the efforts to resolve this issue go on, it will also be prudent to get into an agreement to avoid such incidents in future.
As we celebrated the 71st anniversary of our Independence, we need to thank the officers and men who have braved harsh weather and terrain conditions to stand their ground not only at Doklam but all along our borders to ensure territorial integrity and sovereignty of our motherland.
Readers may recall that we had started a series on One Belt One Road (OBOR). Doklam incident has overshadowed all other things. It is time to return to other important things and take the glare away from this incident which may actually facilitate resolving the issue. Therefore, heads up for the next part of the OBOR series.

As MakerSights grows at a good clip, the team continues to prioritize an even split of talent between technical/engineering expertise and customer facing skill sets with prior retail industry experience. One customer facing workforce (comprised of sales + strategic engagement teams) has some impressive experience with brands and retailers including Neiman Marcus, Amazon, Bloomingdale's, Birchbox, A&F, and more. We've recognized early on as a fast paced customer-centric company the overall importance of having our entire team privy to the day-to-day lives of our core customers, and ultimately prioritizing the the cross-functional sharing of knowledge.
To that end, we recently took a few hours away from the office to deep-dive our customers — how they win, how they struggle, and how we can help them improve their bottom lines and overall daily job satisfaction! It was interesting to come away from our offsite with a plan for building out our relationships with current partners coming from the perspectives of both our retail experts + our software engineers. Here's some of what we learned:
- There are actually dozens of decision points where MakerSights can help brands make faster, better decisions outside of early stage product development, initial line review, and go-to-market meetings! Every team's needs are different, and we walked through a few examples to illustrate how opportunities to leverage data can come from both calendarized processes and ad-hoc business questions. For example:
- A sourcing team may need to quickly re-evaluate the line to see if styles that aren't reaching factory minimums should be dropped
- A design team may not agree on logo placement, delaying production, and would benefit from structured feedback from the customer
- A planning team finds that margins on an assortment look tight, and is looking for opportunity in styles that they can increase retail price without sacrificing volume.
- Although widely known that the product development process should move faster and more efficiently, but complexity and global production make this a huge challenge. Data science is not just improving the decision-making process, it's improving their speed to market as well! We love this article that goes into how Nike and H&M build up their supply chains.
- Brands want to understand their customers better – seasonless style, online shopping, and social media are changing the calendar and the way we shop. Understanding the customer becomes the key to responsiveness by creating supply only where there is demand. Read here on how Micky Drexler learned the hard way that fashion has changed from a supply driven market to a demand driven one.
- Brands and retailers want to ask the right questions to the right audiences to get actionable insights to support many gut-based decisions. Data science has the power to, while also delivering personalization. Katrina Lake talks about this here.
Brands with both a DTC and indirect component to their business have longer PD calendars and different challenges from their DTC competitors

Dear Hillary,
I just don't understand why people say they have negative experiences here. I've been to over 40 countries and my favorite by far is Thailand. Since the first time going to Pattaya, I have loved the people, atmosphere, weather, food, and the cold beer. Right now, I still cannot wait to return and have another wonderful vacation.
Can't wait to get back!
Dear Can't wait to get back,
I agree with you, Petal. As you say, "I have loved the people, atmosphere, weather, food, and the cold beer," so what more could a young man (or an old man) want? I do believe that most of the people who have a negative experience have brought it upon themselves, and many of the long-stayers in Thailand say that for this group of long-stay complainers it is a case of "Som nam na", as the Thais would say, or as the English speakers would say, "serves you right". I have read very similar complaints and "problems" with ex-pats and visitors to Spain and South America, for example. But by the same token, there are many who really enjoy their times in exotic places. Look at Ronnie Biggs, for example, and what happened to him when he returned to the UK from Brazil. No, Can't wait to get back, you stick with your positive mental attitude and enjoy yourself as always in the Land of Smiles. The cold beer sellers are looking forward to your return as well.

and another half are now cut flat rectangles
I was able to rectangle 5 cm wide (can be 4 cm. in general depends on how big you want to make a daisy)
Now cut into strips of about 5 mm. I cut into the eye 🙂
tips sharpen the bit
cut from the beaker bottom circle diameter Screw 2 cm.
In addition, each tab bends about 3-5 mm. not sharpened edge and start
the first row I crosswise, the second in a staggered manner, ie. petal interm petals
1 and 2, a series of petals 8
row – 16 petals, but as you can see the remaining gaps between the petals, you can of course, and so leave but I did4, 4 number took me for 32 petals
as in a number of 4 petals very much I into 4 pieces. those. I 4 petals counterclockwise, then stepped back 4 spaces between the petals and the beginning of the glue from the handle to the blade clockwise closing gaps, etc., is to ultimately we did not call it formed a hump in the center of the flower
and so the color itself is ready now doing midway
if someone wants to make a daisy on the stalk, then a small hole in the middle, make a stalk of wire threaded through her flower and only then fasten the middle of a
and for the midway, take the package to the yellow trash
we cut 4 strips about 1.5-2 cm. wide and I got 11 cm. long, cut off the portion where the seam and tie
We put a, something on the table, so as not to spoil it, my desk is no longer threatens! 🙂 add up one by one our stripes, hold a ruler leaving about 1 cm.
and now we begin to shred our ribbons 🙂
line very strongly pressed, unnecessarily. package and nars escape from the knife, much prodavlivaya knife make an incision about 1 mm. how to get a little fatter, a little thinner is nothing wrong
is such a fringe turned out, do not rush it to fluff up, to begin with …
Clamp firmly with tweezers tip and start spinning …
Well, something like this, the tips of the anchoring or glue or tape, so as not to uncoil
that's what happens …
Now from the fringe leaving about 1 mm. And the rest is cut off cleanly office knife firmly holding onto the fringe, that has not collapsed

External Load Operations
Helicopter External Load Operations are conducted in many industries in most countries across the globe. It is one of the unique things about helicopters is its ability to pick up and place loads into remote areas, for example, timber and steel used for construction, antennas and oversize equipment such as air-conditioning units and remote site drilling equipment.
This type of the operation needs a high established requirements:
- Experienced flight crew engaged in helicopter external load operations;
- Strong operating rules and related requirements applicable to each person involved;
- Airworthiness requirements for helicopters engaged in helicopter external load operations.
