Citrix Systems (CTXS) this afternoon said it plans to cut its staff by about 10% as part of a cost-cutting program. The company has about 4,600 employees. It posted a 4.2% decrease in fourth-quarter net income as product-license sales fell, and the company said it would reduce about 10% of its global work force as it consolidates its facilities.
Meanwhile, Citrix's first-quarter and full-year revenue outlook missed analysts' estimates, sending shares down 7.4% to $22.40 in after-hours trading.
The latest results were in contrast to larger rival VMware Inc. (VMW), which on Monday reported a 43% surge in its fourth-quarter net income but also issued a first-quarter view below analysts' estimates.
The provider of virtualization software, which improves computer efficiency by allowing multiple systems to operate on one computer, has cut costs recently but, until the job cuts on Wednesday, Citrix said it would continue to add employees and wouldn't delay expansion.

ThemeForest is a good place to start selling your WordPress brand?
I will take a thorough look at the most favorite WordPress topics space in this review. We will try to try to understand what are the advantages and disadvantages of the sale of WordPress topics on ThemeForest. And if so, it's probably because of a posting we've posted here in the past titled: "Is CodeCanyon a good place to resell your WordPress plugin?
Many of you know that ThemeForest is created and maintained by the same firm that operates CodeCanyon: So, if you have WordPress topics that you want to market and wonder if ThemeForest is a good choice for you - continue reading. What is theme forest? It is a huge market place for different website design.
WordPress topics are definitely a big deal on the ThemeForest space, according to this heroic copy, and if you want the real numbers, just take a look at the following individual bit of shock ing information from a recent Vova Feldman survey by pinning the ThemeForest API: Whereas only 28% of the theme on ThemeForest are WordPress theme, the WordPress theme is 80.
ThemeForest is right for you? Of course, the ultimate answers to this questions depend on who you are and what your company objectives are. Consider the advantages and disadvantages to check whether ThemeForest is suitable for your topics or not: 1. a lot of traffic: First, as a large and beloved market place, the first striking benefit for anyone who wants to use ThemeForest as a sales channel for their WordPress topics is the large amount of incoming and exposure to trade news.
Part of this traffic is converted into a sales transaction. ThemeForest is similar in this respect to a very large commercial centre, where many customers like to shop just because it unites many different businesses. With ThemeForest, you can make it easy to sell your WordPress topics by editing everything "meta" and focusing on theme creation (the product).
Dealing with " meeta " in the e-commerce environment means that they take charge of the receipt of payments when someone chooses to buy one of your topics. Betty themme demos: Creating a nice demonstration of your design on ThemeForest (with user-defined pictures and styles) can be very useful for selling, as it obviously allows prospective purchasers to see how your design might look on a web site.
In contrast to the WordPress. org topic repository, ThemeForest not only allows nice and customizable topic demonstrations, it's also a best practices approach. Review your topic code: ThemeForest is a very well-liked market place and must adhere to high programming norms (similar to the WordPress.org reference repository). You assign experts to go through the topic's source and make sure it meets these requirements.
Immediately disadvantageous to speaking about the trafficking benefit (see above) is the fact that this trafficking is subject to ten thousand other submissions and topics on the same website. Admittedly, not all of these rivals are in the same WordPress theme categories, but even if we only talk about 9-10,000 other competitive titles (the present number is 9,674 WordPress theme in the ThemeForest market) - this is still a challenge to compete in this theme group.
At ThemeForest your topic gets a lot of attention, but it is divided between all the topic stores that sell there. On ThemeForest, a themed vendor has no relation, whether directly or indirectly, to the persons who buy their articles. This means that you are bound to this channel because even if you have a loyal clientele that keeps coming back to buy your product, these customers will be gone forever if you choose to relocate your company or if ThemeForest eventually shuts down.
Favourite & versatile articles: Like every outdoor storefront, ThemeForest Marktplatz is subdivided into sections and then subcategories to make it even harder for clients to find what they are looking for. Whilst it makes perfect business sense for every business to place different product types in different places in the business, it is very simple for a client to enter a market place such as ThemeForest and make a buy by going to the "Popular Items" page or just go to a "Most Popular Responsive Multi-Purpose Theme".
As a result of this trend, topics that are already highly appreciated seem to remain so, due to other, not necessarily less valuable, topics. To say nothing of the fact that it also seems to reduce total selling, because it seems as though audiences are purchasing these huge topics once and then re-using them for many of their own purposes by just putting together the subject's plays in a different way.
Mandatory assistance for Free: Eventually, the Envato (ThemeForest) operating business realised that purchasers buying ThemeForest topics were asking themselves if they were getting help with the products they wanted to buy or not. This means that your products will be labelled with a token of shame if you, as a topic writer, are not willing to explain in public that you will be supporting your topic for at least 6 month without receiving any additional payments.
It means that if you don't want to make a sale - you have to stick to it and say that you will be supporting all those who buy your subject. Free of charge. Neither does ThemeForest endorse the most beloved way to sell your favorite product today. Just a few and a half years ago I received an e-mail from TF about an updated on a topic I bought in 2011.
That'?s cash the writer of this subject put on the desk! This is a topic I would have liked to have bought with a one-year payback for continuous maintenance service and periodic function/security up-dates. And with an automated renewal process for perpetuating licenses, this thematic writer could have made so much more profit with every thematic sales.
ThermeForest thematic licences are restricted to a sole location. Buying themed designs mainly because of their layouts and designs, the chances of someone buying the same theming twice are slim. Speak to any Topic Sellers who sell outside ThemeForest and they will be glad to tell you how well these multi-site licences perform when sold to agents and contractors.
In practice, what that did mean is that if you (the subject vendor) are a US national or the state where you reside has a fiscal deal with the IRS - your subject sale proceeds will be disbursed to you from the USA. Of course, this is in Addition to the 30% fee that ThemeForest Thematists charge for the sale via their own markets, so that salespeople from more than 100 different nations generate significantly less revenue from them.
There is no denying that posting your topics for sales on ThemeForest is a leap forward in the creation of the businesses of your topics, and it is indeed still regarded as a profitable one. What is left is whether ThemeForest is the right way for you and your objectives, and that will depend on where you see your company in the future.
Establishing and expanding your company within ThemeForest means that you will be investing a great deal in the growth of ThemeForest and not necessarily in the growth of your own company. You will also be very much depending on ThemeForest's capacity to attract visitors and prospective clients. Review some possible ways to find out where and how WordPress topics can be sold:
Let's explore a few possible ways you can pick from when you think about where you want to go with your WordPress themes business: When you are just getting started and just finishing your first topics - it might be a good way to test the topic of water for businesses. Later, after investing many long hours and having a better grasp of how things should or shouldn't work, you'll probably find some more technological reason why ThemeForest offers a good/bad answer to your selling needs.
It is also reasonable that after you have sold your topics on ThemeForest for some period of your life and received your comments on your products, you are better prepared to make a smart choice about whether this is something you should or should not do. Even if you already have topics that you sell through other sales outlets, you still have the opportunity to sell the same articles on ThemeForest.
Most importantly, ThemeForest has already thought about this situation and has set various policies for Envato Exclusive writers (writers who have articles that they want to distribute only on ThemeForest and for whom only a 30%-50% fee is charged) and Non-Exclusive Envato writers who can only hold 30% of total sales in their pockets.
It will probably "not hurt" if you present and sell your topics on this big market place - 70% is a pretty big part that you can leave in the hand of your distributors. You have to consider the other choices that work for you if you want to see if the sale on ThemeForest is still possible or not despite the exclusive nature of the sale.
Naturally there is always the possibility of arranging your own space (shop) on the web and to sell your premiums in it. There are no conditions tied to a particular market place or subject to its limitations and regulations. What are you going to do to allow topic upgrades for your customers?
It is important to remember that when you set up your own themed store website, you are not alone in wondering who your customers are and how you can interact with them. So you can know exactly who is purchasing your topics, communicating with them and making them your faithful client basis.
The sale of your topics on ThemeForest is an easier way to start with the first step and get $$$$ for your work. In the long run, however, I think it is not lasting for YOUR company to fully devote itself and its effort to sales on the ThemeForest or any other market place.
Well, for the first few moves - ThemeForest is a useful one. If you think ahead - you should create and expand your own themed store style instead of investing all your effort in expanding someone else's store.

Correct. Perhaps Wrdos or perhaps Zlin, if he's human, could educate us on what's the meaning of this word: Guolaosi?
The word is obviously important since 600,000 Chinese citizens die every year from whatever the word means.
Incidentally this is another area, along with HSR, construction, steel production, you name it - where China beats India hands down.

Fresh Details on Sirius-XM Merger
In Howard Stern appearance, Sirius CEO Karmazin gives details of satellite radio merger with XM
Sirius CEO Mel Karmazin joined the cast of "The Howard Stern Show" this morning to share with the shock-jock's audience his reasons for the merger with XM and how it will be "good for subscribers."
First of all, he eschewed the suggestion that the combined company would be a monopoly, thus allowing it to raise prices. "We still compete with terrestrial radio," he said, reiterating the fact that his biggest competition offers its service for free. In addition, he mentioned Apple's iPod as a competitor to satellite radio.
He even said that, if it would assure the passage of the merger through the appropriate regulatory commissions, he would make promises concerning subscription prices.

'Spider-Man: Far From Home' Team Considered a Donald Glover Cameo
[This story contains spoilers for Spider-Man: Far From Home.]
The Spider-Man: Far From Home creative team spent months dreaming up scenarios that would become the hit movie that has surpassed $621.9 million globally. Screenwriters Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers note that among the possibilities that didn't pan out was a scene featuring Donald Glover as Aaron Davis, a criminal who comic book fans (and viewers of Sony's Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) will recognize as the uncle of the Miles Morales version of Spider-Man.
Heat Vision breakdown
Glover appeared briefly in 2017's Spider-Man: Homecoming as the character, and the idea was to have him pop up before Peter Parker (Tom Holland) and his classmates go on a school trip to Europe.
"We went down that road a little bit," McKenna tells The Hollywood Reporter, adding that ultimately the film needed to get out of New York quickly. "Some ideas you just have to give up."
McKenna and Sommers have already written three Marvel films, including Spider-Man: Homecoming and Ant-Man and the Wasp, and they'd like to continue that trend. In a conversation with THR, the duo also reveal that they briefly considered having Robert Downey Jr.'s voice be heard through EDITH, the AI used by Spider-Man (Tom Holland) in the film; weigh in on the unseen backstory for MJ (Zendaya); and share their thoughts on an Endgame setup in Ant-Man and the Wasp that was nixed.
Writing a Marvel movie has been compared to working on a TV show in that you have to set things up for other "episodes." Can you recall a time you were asked to add something to pay off in a later movie?
MCKENNA: We were working on Ant-Man and the Wasp and then we were told, "Hey, you guys need to put a line in there about Hope [Evangeline Lilly] losing her cat" at some point, because they were trying to set up something in Endgame. In Endgame, a rat crawls in the van and sets up the Quantum Tunnel and that's how Scott [Lang, aka Ant-Man] gets ejected. I'm guessing maybe it was going to be Hope's cat, who was stuck in the Quantum Realm, somehow comes out. But I'm totally guessing, I have no idea.
SOMMERS: There was something that was going to happen with her cat, "so you have to put this cat in." That was just something that was on the board and we were going to do. After a couple of months, then it was, "No, we've moved on. We're going to do this other thing, so don't worry about the cat anymore."
At that point in your Ant-Man and the Wasp process, did you know Endgame would feature the Quantum Realm?
SOMMERS: We did know early on.
MCKENNA: We were told it was going to factor into Infinity War.
SOMMERS: Even before we were told about the cat.
Donald Glover was a fan favorite in Homecoming. Was there talk of bringing him back for a scene?
MCKENNA: We definitely considered that. We definitely thought, "How great it would be to bring back Aaron Davis again?" Other considerations come in. We went down that road a little bit, then the movie really spent such little time in Queens and gets to Europe pretty quickly. Some ideas you just have to give up.
SOMMERS: That's really what it came down to. We loved that character and we wanted to do it, but we just wanted to get out of New York and get on the trip as soon as possible. There were several things we would have loved to do in New York before he left, but we just didn't have time.
When you are writing Nick Fury, do you think of him as Skrull or as Nick Fury?
MCKENNA: We were floating around that idea [of Fury being a Skrull] for awhile. ... You want that fun of Nick Fury suddenly dropping into Peter's life, so you want to make it as true to Nick Fury as possible and you don't want to tip the reveal.
There is a bit of Robert Downey Jr. footage from Cvil War in Far From Home. Was there ever talk of getting Downey to come in for a day of shooting to get some new footage for a flashback? That certainly would have been expensive, given his salary requirements.
MCKENNA: I think if anything, it was always going to be re-used footage. We had talked about possibly hearing Tony's voice through EDITH at one point, but I think a little goes a long way and we didn't want to lean too hard.
SOMMERS: He is so beloved and we definitely talked about so many things, but at at some point it's about the absence of a person and about the loss of that person. If you show that person and that person has such a presence, does it fight trying to portray the loss?
MCKENNA: Doing the flashback like we did with Civil War is probably the most you'd want to see and hear Tony in this movie. Like Erik says, if you are doing a movie about loss, you don't want to keep going to the well. "He's still alive and now he's a hologram, showing you around Avengers compound."
How much of MJ's backstory did you write in Homecoming that we haven't seen yet? I imagine there's a lot about her that you know that we don't.
MCKENNA: There was a moment when they come back from Washington in Homecoming — I don't think it made it into the movie — where you get the sense where she clearly doesn't have someone there to pick her up and meet her at the bus and May and Peter offer to give her a ride home. You get a sense maybe there's some sad home life going on, and I think it's alluded to in some of the things that she says in this movie. With all that stuff, you never want to lean too hard into it. You want to tell a story with as few words as possible. I think we kept it kind of small and as nuanced as we could.
SOMMERS: It's one of those things where you want to tell the backstory of characters, you want to make it as rich as you can, but you don't want to railroad it. If it doesn't fit organically, you don't want to end up with one of these scenes where people are talking about themselves. Where two people who know something about someone else.
You are both busy and obviously can't do everything. Do you have a tinge of regret when you see something like the new Jumanji living on after you worked on the previous installment?
MCKENNA: It's a great team. [Jake] Kasdan, [Scott] Rosenberg and [Jeff] Pinker. We wrote a lot of that movie and then those guys came in and did a great job with it. I'm excited to see the next one. For us, we are lucky right now that we are juggling a lot of things, and we can only juggle so many things.
SOMMERS: So many things come out and you think, "That's super cool, I wish I had a chance to play in that sandbox and work on something like that, or work on that exact thing." But at the end of the day there's only so much, and I'm grateful to have the stuff that we do.
You have three Marvel movies under your belts. Do you have more gas left in the tank?
SOMMERS: Absolutely. We love working there. Coming from TV shows, we both spend a lot of time in rooms with people and that sort of collaboration of the writing staff and working with Marvel, and in the case of the Spider-Man movies, working with folks from Pascal Pictures — Amy Pascal and Rachel O'Connor — it's been really collaborative. We're very comfortable in that environment. It's a place where the best idea wins.

Cyber criminals cash in on crypto-currency rush
As crypto-currencies rise in value and popularity, cyber criminals are looking to cash in through crypto-jacking. Alongside users who are trying to earn money legitimately by mining these coins, cyber criminals are developing tools to hijack digital currencies, or are stealing computer resources owned by Internet users to mine crypto-currency for themselves.
Cyber criminals are attracted to crypto-jacking due to two unique features, says Jessica Ortega, a member of the SiteLock research team. "Firstly, it is a symptomless attack from the perspective of the Web site owner, meaning crypto-jacking doesn't change the function or appearance of a Web site, such as causing slowness or defacements. This makes it harder to detect, causing crypto-jacking malware to remain on Web sites for longer periods of time and thus generating more profit."
Secondly, she says crypto-jacking attacks require only one or two scripts to deploy. "They are very easy to deploy once an attacker has gained access to the Web site's files using a backdoor file or vulnerability. This allows cyber criminals to automate the deployment of these attacks and infiltrate large numbers of sites quickly and quietly, maximising their profitability."
How it works
According to Ortega, crypto-jacking usually happens in one of two ways. The first method is to gain direct unauthorised access to a Web site's files and inject malicious code that mines for crypto-currency on visitors' computers. The other is to upload crypto-jacking infected ads to online ad networks.
"When visitors view a Web site infected with crypto-jacking scripts, their browser automatically runs the malicious script, causing the visitor's computer to dedicate resources to mining crypto-currency. The currency is 'mined' through a process of solving complex mathematical problems and is then sent to accounts controlled by cyber criminals."
Harder to detect
The easiest and most effective way of preventing crypto-jacking infections is to employ a malware scanner, she says.
"Using a malware scanner that proactively scans the Web site for malicious and suspicious code, and automatically removes any that is detected, will ensure the Web site is unable to mine crypto-currency on users' local computers. Moreover, protecting Web sites with a Web application firewall (WAF) will prevent malicious bots and bad actors from being able to access the site in order to launch crypto-jacking attacks."
But unlike other common types of malware, such as ransomware or phishing, crypto-mining has many legitimate users, which makes it difficult to identify the malware. Many legitimate mining scripts are falsely identified as malicious, and these false positives can hurt businesses that purposefully use mining to their benefit.
In addition, although crypto-jacking is frequently a symptomless attack from the Web site owner's perspective, from the visitor's perspective, crypto-jacking causes machines to slow down and browsers to crash. "Users experiencing these symptoms might well leave the Web site in question without ever reporting the issue, meaning Web site owners remain none the wiser."
She says this is why effective automated detection is crucial. "As crypto-currency popularity rises, so too will the challenges of identifying malicious and non-malicious crypto-currency mining applications."
Preventing false positives
It is important for the engineers that build anti-malware scanners to take precautions when identifying crypto-mining scripts, she says. "Flagging an intentional crypto-currency miner as malicious could take that miner offline, costing the Web site owner time and money. Engineers can take precautions by using context clues like file placement, crypto-currency wallets, and URLs belonging to known bad actors to help avoid mistakes when analysing crypto-miners."
Although the onus for identifying false positives lands on security firms and malware scanners, there are steps that Web site owners can take to facilitate this process, she says. "It is critical for Web sites using legitimate crypto-mining scripts to gain consent from their visitors prior to executing the scripts. Most crypto-currency mining packages include a consent and warning script, and by using this feature, malware scanners will pick up the legitimate scripts and avoid flagging related files as malicious."
"While all indications are that crypto-jacking is not just another trend, malware and cyber threats change every day," notes Ortega.
"Protecting businesses and Web sites from cyber threats must extend beyond protection from the latest trends in malware to a holistic and proactive security strategy. In order to protect their reputation, customers and the bottom line, businesses should have a holistic security suite in place that includes automatic malware scanning and removal, Web application firewalls, and incident response plans."

Objective: Among patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), sleep disturbances are common and serious noncognitive symptoms. Previous studies of AD patients have identified deformations in the brain stem, which may play an important role in the regulation of sleep. The aim of this study was to further investigate the relationship between sleep disturbances and alterations in brain stem morphology in AD.
Materials and methods: In 44 patients with AD and 40 healthy elderly controls, sleep disturbances were measured using the Neuropsychiatry Inventory sleep subscale. We employed magnetic resonance imaging-based automated segmentation tools to examine the relationship between sleep disturbances and changes in brain stem morphology.
Results: Analyses of the data from AD subjects revealed significant correlations between the Neuropsychiatry Inventory sleep-subscale scores and structural alterations in the left posterior lateral region of the brain stem, as well as normalized brain stem volumes. In addition, significant group differences in posterior brain stem morphology were observed between the AD group and the control group.
Conclusion: This study is the first to analyze an association between sleep disturbances and brain stem morphology in AD. In line with previous findings, this study lends support to the possibility that brain stem structural abnormalities might be important neurobiological mechanisms underlying sleep disturbances associated with AD. Further longitudinal research is needed to confirm these findings.

• Historic Milestone Marks Third Year of Record Growth -
ATLANTA (October 8, 2013)
— VW Credit, Inc. (VCI), the captive finance partner of Volkswagen, Audi and Ducati in the United States, announced that as of today that it has one million vehicle finance agreements under contract. The milestone contract was for a lease of a Volkswagen Jetta by co-applicants Linda Gaines (Mother) and Kyla Gaines (Daughter) from the Jim Ellis Dealership in Chamblee, GA. Christian Dahlheim, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, VW Credit, Inc., and local guests and dignitaries gathered at the Jim Ellis Volkswagen Dealership in Kennesaw, to celebrate this occasion. As a special gift, VCI was pleased to cover 12 payments on the 36 month lease of the vehicle.
'Today's milestone — one million customer accounts — is another example of VCI's ability to support brands of the Volkswagen Group growth strategy by providing attractive financing solutions and superior service for our customers,' said Andrew Stuart, President and CEO, VW Credit, Inc.

We opened our first Volkswagen dealership in 1971 and now have 3 locations serving Georgia. We couldn't be more pleased,' says Jimmy Ellis, Vice President and COO of the Jim Ellis Automotive Group.
In addition of celebrating one million customer accounts, VCI officially launched 'FinanceSource,' a new integrated solution for Credit & Contract Approvals, Funding, and Digital Document Storage. This system will help dealers to further reduce wait time for customers, eliminate the risk of missing documents and accelerate cash flow for the dealers. 'The feedback by the dealers so far has been very positive in terms of accuracy, ease of use, and speed,' Dahlheim added.
In the J.D. Power and Associates 2012 Consumer Financing Satisfaction Study, Volkswagen customers rated VCI #1 in the retail loan segment. 'We are proud of those results; it tells us we are already doing something right in the eyes of our customers,' Dahlheim said.
In 2012, VCI saw an increase of 28.3 percent in all-new contracts, with 404,947 contracts signed. VCI increased the number of new contracts to 238,400 in the first seven months of 2013.

Kinky Amateur Noriko Gets Horny On Cam
Sexy Asian teen Noriko shares with us her delicious selfpics, which concentrates solely on her amazing cleavage. With this kind of a cleavage, it just simply means that our amateur nymphette owns a pair of huge tits that everybody loves and fantasizes about. She took digital photos of herself, wearing various pieces of clothing to enhance her naturally perky tits. She even put makeup on her pretty face to add extra oomph to the sexy scenes she's trying to portray – matching those slutty poses, I can't help but hold on to my cock tighter and jerk it faster! Isn't she a slutty tease or what? If she can make us feel this playful by just showing us her fucking cleavage, I can only imagine what'll happen to my stiff cock once she takes off those boring clothes.
Maybe my hand would bleed jerking off my very hard wang because it'll stay that way for hours or it could snap in half from being too excited. Either way, I won't give a shit, as long as I can die happy with all my seeds swimming in the same ecstasy I'm feeling. I'd hump her like a dog would so I can enjoy her Oriental boobs more while they bounce up and down as Noriko bends over and takes my hard thrusts.

Global Small-, Medium-Sized Business Sales Eclipse $1 Billion on Prime Day
Despite some early technical difficulties with its website and mobile app, Amazon appeared to remain on target to shatter last year's record sales on Prime Day. And, as it was in the middle of raking in consumers' dollars on Tuesday, the company shared a pretty incredible announcement as to how small- and medium-sized businesses were performing.
By 5 p.m. on Tuesday—the time the press release hit our inbox—Prime members around the world had spent more than $1 billion on Amazon, specifically with the company's small- and medium-sized shops that utilize the platform.
"Prime Day is just getting started for us, but we're already seeing 10 times our average day sales," Kelly Fedio of One Savvy Life, a small business that sells on Amazon, said in a statement.

For the past two months we have been blogging about toys and of course the odd Christmas blog hasn't gone amiss. It's been a long build-up to the biggest day of the year, particularly for children. But now Christmas is literally a few days away and the question is; are you ready?
It's been a busy month for us here at Wicken Toys, so we had to prepare ourselves for the rush in advance, but for the parents out there still teetering on the brink of Christmas Day without having picked up all their presents, we know how stressful it can get. You are probably so rushed off your feet you don't even have time to read this!
So what's our best advice we can give for you?
First of all – breathe!
You need to relax. The Christmas rush is one of the busiest times of the year... anywhere. If you have been unlucky enough to have been in London recently you probably got caught up in the craziness on Oxford Street or in Piccadilly, on the tubes or the buses, above and below. It's manic, it's a panic, it's every man and woman for themselves. It's like a scene out of Jingle All the Way (a surprisingly and scarily accurate depiction of parents on Christmas Eve).
But do not be too frightened. This isn't our first rodeo at Christmas – we know how to navigate these problems.
One option is to know exactly what it is that your kids want and to perform a Google search of all the places in your area that have shops which supply what you are looking for. Make up a list and know where you need to go. The worst thing is when you are not sure about what it is you need to get or where to go. Casual browsing during the Christmas rush is nigh on impossible, at least doing it casually anyway. Know your toys and know the shops you need to get to in order to get them!
A second option is even simpler... order online! Wicken Toys has been receiving online orders for outdoor toys for a long time and we find it is the most effective way to avoid the heavy, heaving streets in the last few days lead up to Christmas Day. Of course, you have to order in advance by at least two days in order to guarantee delivery on time. There are always order options with any online toy supplier, so if you need specific times and dates something can always be arranged for your convenience.
Just don't panic. There is still time and you'll still have options. Just be prepared and be sensible. Don't get caught up in the hysterical pandemic that is the Christmas shopping rush. While everyone else is running around, you can be sitting down at home with a nice cup of tea with your feet up and your cupboards fully stocked with those presents.

I've recently switched entirely to Vim for all my Python/Django development. It took me a lot of time to customize it to the point it is today, and God knows how hard it was for me to find help regarding the best vim plugins out there suited for Python/Django development.
I decided to ask this question so people like me could benefit directly from your experience: You've built the perfect Python/Djangoish Vim editor? Describe it for us (plugins, scripts, customized .vimrc, colorschemes ..etc).
Ok, this is my own configuration. actually I've chosen to create a simple Vim configuration so I can master the little number of plugins I've chosen to install instead of make a big stack of plugins that I'll never master nor use. This is the list of the plugins I use the most:
Also I've created a python.vim file in $HOME/.vim/ftplugin/ containing this script so I can run python code from Vim just by running Shift+e:
" Execute file being edited with <Shift> + e:
map <buffer> <S-e> :w<CR>:!/usr/bin/env python % <CR>
Also I've collected some useful .vimrc customizations:

Conceptual Brand identity, Logo design, Creative direction and Packaging design inspired by a legendary sacred ancient pagan site at Alboinplatz in Berlin, known as Blanke Helle, or "Hel's Pond" (Hels-Pfuhl). The name goes back to the goddess Hel, who in Germanic mythology ruled over the domain of the same name. According to the myth the pond once formed the entrance to the realm of the dead. Little is known of this pagan myth in Berlin, the idea of the brand was to raise awareness of it. I plan to create a VR/AR video to tell the full story. I took used the shape of the actual Hels Pond as the background for the logo
Goodme launched in March 2015, with a focus on 100% natural premium superfood and well-being products.

Former Assemblyman Jason O'Donnell and his slate have released a quality of life plan that explains how they keep streets clean, enforce community policing and build an animal shelter in Bayonne.
By John Heinis/Hudson County View
"As public servants, our primary responsibility is to listen to those we hope to serve. For the past several years, during the current administration, there has been one group of people that have been getting a lot of attention – wealthy out of town developers," Team O'Donnell said in a joint statement.
"During this time, the residents who are the foundation and heart of Bayonne have seen their taxes increase and their quality of life decrease disproportionately. Out of town developers aren't stressed about trash in the streets, little to no parking, potholes all over town or petty crime but the residents are."
The five-person council slate, which consists of Dan Ward, Melissa Enriquez-Rada, Sharma Montgomery, Kevin Kuhl and Matt Klimansky, along with O'Donnell, call for enforcement of all municipal ordinances regarding waste and recycling.
Furthermore, the challengers in the May 8th municipal elections vow to bring more community policing, which would require a uniformed police officer in every school, as well as increasing police outreach programs in schools.
On the subject of public safety, Team O'Donnell wants to create a neighborhood watch group in conjunction with the Bayonne Police Department, while also increasing the police presence at Hudson Bergen Light Rail stops.
Arguable the biggest endeavor the group wants to take on is building an animal shelter "with the appropriate volunteer personnel to manage it."
They also vow to dismiss the current animal control services provider, New Jersey Animal Control and Rescue.
The company owner, Geoff Santini, was recently fired as the head of security at his job as the North Bergen Housing Authority and the FBI has issued subpoenas in relation to his animal control contracts, Hudson County View first reported earlier this month. i
NJACR, who have already lost their animal control services contract in Garfield, are expected to be replaced by the Jersey City-based Liberty Humane Society at the Bayonne City Council meeting scheduled for April 18th.
The full plan, which also offers ideas regarding the arts, recreation and veterans affairs, can be read here.

California lawmakers have officially requested that the federal government reclassify cannabis.
"The Legislature urges the Congress of the United States to pass a law to reschedule marijuana or cannabis and its derivatives from a Schedule I drug to an alternative schedule, therefore allowing the legal research and development of marijuana or cannabis for medical use," states a joint resolution approved by the California Assembly on Thursday.
The Controlled Substance Act's Schedule I – supposedly limited to drugs with no medical value and a high potential for abuse – also applies to heroin and LSD.
The resolution also calls for altering federal law to allow for "the legal commerce of marijuana or cannabis so that businesses dealing with marijuana or cannabis can use traditional banks or financial institutions for their banking needs, which would result in providing a legal vehicle for those businesses to pay their taxes."
Federal prohibition has caused many banks to hesitate over providing financial services to cannabis businesses. This has made cannabis businesses vulnerable to robberies, as most of them have to operate on a cash-only basis. A cash-only system also makes collecting sales tax revenue more complicated.
Recently, the U.S. Senate Appropriations Committee directed federal agencies to issue a report on marijuana's Schedule I status, which the committee said obstructs research.

MBTI – Day Two
On day two, Sunil explained the Sensing (S) and Intuition (N) pairings. The S tends to focus on present experience and enjoys using and refining the known and familiar, whereas the I tends to focus on future possibilities and enjoys experimenting with the new and the different.
He described the S as people who prefer the factual and the concrete, taking in information from the five senses and preferring clear and complete instructions. The I people are those who are imaginative and creative, and who like to learn different things in different ways. They like making up and idea more than producing it.
Sunil then went on to the thinking (T) and feeling (F) types where the former solves problems with logic and are good at analysing plans. The latter (F) considers what matters to others and are good at understanding people, and tends to help by appreciating the positive first.
Both T and F are ways we make decisions.

A hacker targeting US TV network HBO, who has already leaked information regarding fantasy series Game of Thrones, has now leaked several new episodes of Larry David comedy Curb Your Enthusiasm a month and a half before the show was set to return.
The hacker, who claims to have obtained 1.5TB of confidential data and unreleased episodes, has been holding the network to ransom, demanding a payment amounting to half of the $12-15m they claim to make a year from blackmailing hacked companies.
The latest leak, which also includes other shows (via Variety) comes less than a month after HBO dated the return of Curb Your Enthusiasm for 1 October, 2017.
The comedy, a semi-fictionalised account of the life of the show's creator, writer and star Larry David, last aired new episodes in 2011. The upcoming season will be the show's ninth overall and consist of ten episodes.
Last week (10 August) it emerged that HBO had offered $250,000 to "white hat IT professionals" who might be able to help them, in a message that also suggested the company could pay the hacker just as much.
In the message, an unnamed HBO executive pleads to the hacker to extend his deadline so the money can be secured. "You have the advantage of having surprised us. In the spirit of professional cooperation, we are asking you to extend your deadline for one week."
However, following this latest leak, HBO reiterated that it would not cave in to the hacker's pressure tactics.
"We are not in communication with the hacker and we're not going to comment every time a new piece of information is released," the Time Warner-owned network said in a statement.
"It has been widely reported that there was a cyber incident at HBO. The hacker may continue to drop bits and pieces of stolen information in an attempt to generate media attention. That's a game we're not going to participate in.
"Obviously, no company wants their proprietary information stolen and released on the internet. Transparency with our employees, partners, and the creative talent that works with us has been our focus throughout this incident and will remain our focus as we move forward. This incident has not deterred us from ensuring HBO continues to do what we do best."
Among the other shows to have leaked were new comedy Insecure, which debuted last night (13 August), upcoming shows Barry and The Deuce, and Ballers, which is currently airing its third season.
In July, a script for a then-upcoming episode of Game of Thrones was leaked online, as well as the personal details of the show's stars, including their phone numbers. An episode of the show was also leaked shortly after, but not by the hacker in question.

Press Release:
Remember when we talked about arrogance, and you said that the virtues of arrogance could be achieved and exercised without actually being arrogant?
I can't remember how we went from there to the topic of Moyra Davey, but I think I tried (polemically) to make the point that Moyra enacted virtuosity in a way similar to what you talked about regarding arrogance, somehow utilizing its capacity without producing its effect.
I'm at a point in my research where I'm basically comparing Moyra's way of (anti)inhabiting the artist's role, to how, in the first Alien movie, Sigourney Weaver as Ripley inhabits the (up till that point very male-dominated) role of the Space-Joe/protagonist. Ripley is a manifestation of Freudian male trauma (male fear of penetration, misunderstanding of pregnancy, blah blah) subverted into this domesticized maternal figure/architecture/plot. (Critic Barbara Creed even talks about the movie as a series of shape-shifting representations of what she refers to as "The monstrous-feminine as archaic mother"…!)
In Moyra's Fifty Minutes, when she is in the bedroom, entangled in the family: interrupted by the husband, by the son, the dog walks into the shot. To me, this is the iconic scene in Alien: Ripley, casual in her cotton panties in the belly of the spaceship entangled in wires and armature. Unceremoniously working the mechanism, running the ship, but resisting the bad trip of "Captianness", the formal bullshit of the uniform. On this ship Moyra/Ripley runs business from her bedroom cockpit, resisting that the interpolative mechanisms of the genre run her, so to speak. This "in-bed" casualness, as strategy, is the evolution of the artistic process at its climax: right before the sad point where it is churned into the artwork. Serra right before he turns into steel (really bad comparison, but you know what I mean).
I keep thinking of "the artwork" as the representation of absence: absence of the artist, and the role of the artist as one who always works towards replacing her/himself with a virtuoso-type gesture which is to make a sublime account for the artist's intentions and (lost) presence.
Moyra resists this virtuoso ritual; she subverts the virtuoso maneuver and is (in the etymological origin of virtuoso as connoting manliness) exactly anti-manliness. Moyra resists the execution of virtuoso representation. Rather, Moyra is presence: she is an infrastructure of simultaneous affection and investigation. Symbiotically both surrounded by and surrounding her subject matter, now finding deep, intimate, diaristic confidentiality in it, yet nesting it, contextualizing it. She makes no effort though to export this into the artistic gesture => to accumulate these functions in order to turn them into /towards a virtuous (potent) gesture. Moyra keeps it domestic, never sends anything off, never sets anything forth, rather we appear to "find her" in her (seemingly) civilian state in the domestic midst of her own chronology.
Fifty Minutes, just as one example, is (formally) a piece just like any other piece, yet it exist and achieves its function/meaning/status, without submitting to the virtuoso means. All this is terribly problematic, especially comparing Moyra Davey to a maternal monstrosity, and I really have no interest in employing this kind of gendered rhetorics, but until I get it calibrated, it is really meant as a very big compliment as she has modeled an exact alternative to the conventions around virtuosity, which I still think is hugely influential/problematic to artistic processing.
An economic conception of the natural image founds the artificial image, and the economic conception of the artificial image in turn founds temporal power.
Marie Jose Mondzain
The three works that comprise "A.U.T.O. E.N.U.C.L.E.A.T.I.O.N." have each never been presented publicly yet they span almost ten years, marking two points: one at the beginning and one at the current moment in Rasmus Røhling's artistic production. Male goes down on phantom (2006) and [untitled] (2015) (the two video works) as well as an untitled sculpture produced on-site at Sismógrafo belie a longstanding preoccupation with conventions of presentation, reception, and interpretation of contemporary art and images, during which the artist has and continues to confront the modernist tropes which still haunt each respective activity.
Given the discursive and almost essayistic quality of the works in this exhibition and Rasmus' work in general—inclusive of the press release, a letter he wrote to a fellow emerging artist and mutual interlocutor, Kasia Fudakowski, reprinted here, as part of the present constellation—I am reluctant to go further than this, which would risking adding yet another layer of interpretative material into what few would dispute is an already complex and difficult set of ideas and speculative, "autofictive" arguments.
But one thing I wanted to expand upon, is that within each video loop of [untitled] (2015), Rasmus elevates the quotation above to mantra-status by repeating it five times. This phrase from Mondzain is excerpted from her book Image, Icon, Economy (2005). In it, she dedicates an entire chapter to "A Semantic Study of the Term Economy" as she assigns the word a specific meaning in order to set various, dichotomous ideas within a larger plane of relative negotiation. Following this, Rasmus refers to "economy" as "the membrane" that holds various, irreconcilable ideas together; Mondzain would say that economy is the operator of functional reconciliation (vs. ratification) between, for instance, truth and reality.
During our discussions leading up to this exhibition, on more than one occasion Rasmus referred me back to the origin of the title of what is arguably Auguste Rodin's most infamous work. As Rasmus recounted, during the initial stages of The Gates of Hell, a set of bronze doors began in 1880 and continued until his death, Rodin agreed to an interview with a British reporter. When the reporter arrives in his studio, the artist is in the midst of work on a figure to be placed in the center of the relief directly above the doors; it is a male sitting on a rock with his chin resting on one hand. Rodin conducts the interview in English as the reporter cannot speak French. This is an important detail as at some point, the interviewer asks Rodin a general question about Rodin's perspective on sculpture's role within these times of modern art. Rodin, apparently still working on his slouching male figure, supposedly looks up only to answer enigmatically, "sculpture is the image of the finger" (referring obliquely to finger prints he left visible in his final cast works).
The reporter, however, mishears Rodin's heavy French accent and the following day, the British newspaper prints a considerable Rodin feature article with the headline: French Sculptor Auguste Rodin Working on New Masterpiece: The Thinker. Likely due to the volume of attention that the article attracted, Rodin gets wind of the headline and decides not only to embrace the accidental titling of his work-in-progress, he also separates the sculpture from the intricate composition of the Gates of Hell, enlarging it to just beyond human scale.
The two points Rasmus tries to make with this story, is that this minor misinterpretation and Rodin's subsequent "fairly trivial marketing decisions around formatting" has had immense ripple effects in our understanding of Rodin as one of the great modernist sculptors. The sculpture, named by chance, has become an allegory of thinking yet it was never intended to depict such an ambitious and abstract phenomenon! In Rasmus' own words, "this signification landed, so to speak, quite accidentally onto his crouching lump of muscles." And secondly, according to Rasmus, although his act of leaving trace evidence of the sculptures' process in the finished products is canonized as one of the "passages into modern sculpture," this was a happenstance result of the fact that Rodin's fingers, when working on the original, just weren't able to sculpt in such great detail when working a relatively small scale for his Gates of Hell.
One symptom of working with an artist prone to autofiction, is that even when you recognize you're being "taken" while it's happening, in retrospect, the facts and fiction mingle and stick to each other in unsegregated parts of the brain. So when Rasmus later asks casually if I remember how "The Thinker"
got its title, my immediate reaction is to think that I have the answer. But like anything with Rasmus, it's never a simple dichotomy within his economy of art objects, discourse, and gestures. As Marcel Broodthaers would say (with a slight echo in Mondzain), "a fiction allows us to grasp reality and at the same time what it hides."
