This is a partnered guest post.
Do you ever have that freaky experience when you realize that something you always believed to be true is now wrong? I don't mean, like, believing in dragons or anything (although dragons are totally real, they're just misunderstood dinosaurs), but like growing up thinking Pluto was a planet and then learning that the science people changed their minds. Or telling your high-school-aged niece that more kids take the SAT than the ACT because not all schools accept the ACT and then finding out that you're now wrong, on both counts.
What I mean to say is that if you think you're using the best home office products, you're probably wrong, because in the past few years companies started launching all kinds of new things that none of us know exist because we're too busy checking Facebook. Or something.
So here are the top five home office tools you've never heard of, that you should be using RIGHT NOW:
1. Leg Cord Managers
Yes, we've all seen the lifehacks: use kitchen twist ties or those little plastic things that come with your loaves of bread to keep all your cords out of the way.
Except my office is already too much like my kitchen — I mean, I eat nearly every meal there — and I don't want any dang bread ties on my expensive computer cables.
New solution: leg cord managers. Basically, you stick these skinny pockets to the legs of your desk, and then you slide the cords down the pockets. Boo-yah.
2. Office-friendly food trays
Remember that part where I said I ate nearly every meal at my desk? Office supply stores now make food trays for workers just like me. Hold the tray on your lap, or try to balance it on the six inches of your desk that aren't already covered with papers. Or: just put it on the papers.
Office-friendly food trays are lightweight, easy to clean, have high edges to combat liquid spills, and don't at all look like you're in a hospital or eating at a high chair. They're designed for the modern worker, the one who doesn't have time to sit at a stinkin' table.
3. Paperless scanning software
Sure, you probably have a scanner, or if you're like me, you probably go down to the copy shop once a week and scan a bunch of business receipts. (Once I did this while still wearing my fuzzy bunny slippers. I literally forgot to take them off before getting into the car.)
But did you know that scanner software is now paperless? This is on the level of "cats and dogs living together." It blows my mind.
4. The standing desk
This one's a cheat, because you've probably heard of a standing desk, but you probably haven't tried it.
Ladies and gentlemen, a standing desk will change your world.
Even better: you don't have to invest in one of those fancy standing desks from Ikea, and then stand over it in frustration, trying to figure out how the little blobby man is gesticulating you to put the pieces together. (Dear Ikea: Use your words.) You can just grab an ordinary milk crate, or some of that cheap wire cube shelving, and build your own elevated laptop station. Then stow your milk crate under the desk when you want to sit down again.
5. External battery-powered USB charger
Sometimes you want to get out of your pajamas and go do work around other people for a change. However, that brings a problem: all your lovely outlets are right there, and usually coffee shop outlets are already filled by other weirdo freelancers. (Not to mention that most coffee shops hate it when we run up their electricity costs.)
The solution: an external battery-powered USB charger. These things cost, like, twenty bucks. They fit in your pocket. They have a USB port, and when you plug something into that port, like your phone, your iPad, or your laptop, it charges. Never be chained to a coffee shop outlet again.

… from customers. Yes, expert reviews are good too, but when a coffee maker gets a lot of 5 star reviews from people who actually bought it, it's probably REALLY good.

Finding a single taste that appeals to customers across all geographies has been the dream of every chocolate maker. But Bert Alfonso, president of international business at The Hershey Co, believes that it is equally important for companies to have products that succinctly blend local and international flavors, for sustained growth in key markets like China. The Pennsylvania, United States-based chocolate manufacturer has already taken the first steps in this regard by launching chocolate products with blended ingredients and also through acquisitions of Chinese confectionery brands that have established connections with customers. "The addition of Golden Monkey has really broadened the possibilities in China," said Alfonso in a recent interview with China Daily, after Hershey acquired an 80 percent stake in the privately held confectionery company in Shanghai for $584 million in September…Full Article: China Daily Nov 2014
Key Points
- The president of international business at Hershey expects his company's sales to increase to US$500 million by 2015 due in part to Golden Monkey's distribution system.
- In 1995, Hershey established a representative office in China. However, the company was not able to obtain significant market share, with Hershey products reportedly "missing" from store shelves in 2004.
ChinaAg Comments
- In May 2013, Hershey announced that launched a new chocolate product in China. The product, called "Lancaster", is a "Nai Bei" styled candy made from high-quality imported milk (three flavors total).
- From 2009 to 2013, mainland China imports (excl. Hong Kong & Macau) of "chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa" (HS 1806) increased from 16,624 MTs to 49,167 MTs, an increase of 196%. The top supplier was Italy (30% import share in 2013), followed by the USA (9% share in 2013), Belgium, Germany, and Singapore.
- From 2009 to 2012, Hong Kong imports (excl. China & Macau) increased of "chocolate and other food preparations containing cocoa" (HS 1806) increased from 17,875 MTs to 26,909 MTs, an increase of 51%. Like in mainland China, Italy was the top supplier (25% import market share in 2012), followed by the Netherlands (9% share), USA, Belgium, Australia, and Germany.

Accommodation in Amalfi Coast
Villa Piedimonte
Villa Piedimonte is a brand new property blended into an ancient 12th century Villa. According to local legend, it was owned by rich merchants of the Amalfi Maritime Republic. The Villa is situated just at few steps from the renowned auditorium designed by Oscar Niemeyer, in the heart of the picturesque town of Ravello, the City of Music. It is walking distance from Piazza Duomo and the main local attractions, such as the world famous Villa Cimbrone. The peculiarity of its location allows you to experience the magic of Ravello and discover the beauties of the Amalfi Coast.
The "voyage" starts at the entrance, where the breathtaking views blend sky and sea together, and leads to the lobby, which is characterized by sea colors and by aged solid wood perfectly preserved thanks to skilled local artisans. Fragrant aromas emanating from the restaurant wish you "saluti", enticing you to indulge. Relax beside the swimming pool, while admiring the unmatched views of the Amalfi Coast. The gardens of the villa form the ideal spot from where to observe the twilight.
There are ten rooms divided into Classic Comfort, Classic Deluxe (with terraces) and Junior Suites characterized by Jacuzzi bathtubs. There are twelve Suites, divided into Comfort Suites, and Deluxe Suites with gorgeous sea views.
Villa Piedimonte is committed to safeguarding the environment and has adopted the following measures:
energy class B building entirely of low energy impact on the environment, use of energy saving light bulbs, use of cleaning products in bulk, recycling of bed linen and towels, use of recycled toilet paper, eco training for the staff, separate collection of waste. Their eco-advice for guests is available in the rooms.
Amalfi Coast
Deemed by UNESCO to be an outstanding example of a Mediterranean landscape, the Amalfi Coast is where coastal mountains plunge into the sea in a stunning vertical scene of precipitous cliffs, picturesque towns and lavish forests.
Among the glittering string of coastal gems, legendary Positano and Amalfi sparkle the brightest, while mountaintop Ravello has the glossy fame of its impressive villas and Wagnerian connection. The glitzy island of Capri is only a hydrofoil or ferry ride away.
Aside from its sheer beauty, the region is home to some superb restaurants and hotels. It is also one of Italy's top spots for hiking, with well-marked trails providing a great means of getting away from the coastal clamor.

Men's Fairbanks™ 503 Mid Shoe is rated out of 5 by 158.
Rated 1 out of 5 by Bryan1717 from Light usage and waterproofing failed in about a year or less Overall fairly comfortable and light which I prefer in a casual hiking shoes. Chose this one based on being waterproof for hiking in wet grass or through shallow stream. Well as fate would have it I was hiking 1 year and less than 2 months after purchasing these and needed to cross a shallow creek, in doing so my foot got wet as water entered around the big toe to foot joint area. I'm sure this leak point existed before the 1 year warranty was up I just hadn't been in conditions requiring it until just after the warranty ended. In the end if you want a durable waterproof shoe look elsewhere.

Rated 2 out of 5 by Nwei23 from Disappointed Bought these because I needed a lightweight waterproof boot/shoe for work with an emphasis on waterproof. These shoes are not waterproof. Water resistant would be an accurate description. The sole is separating after just 3 months and one of my strings has already broke. All this with very little use because once I realized they really didnt keep my feet dry I quit wearing them to work. For this kind of money I would expect a better quality shoe that could hold up to some light work. It is a hiking shoe after all.

Rated 4 out of 5 by APeezy from I love columbia Excellent looking and functional sport boot/shoe. Only issue so far is the way the shoe rubs on the outer side of my lt ankle because of the mid height. I own several mid height athletic shoes but this design is a little stiffer and hurting where it is rubbing against my ankle. I have tried several different types and styles of socks but haven't hit the sweet spot yet. Not bad enough to return. Hope it breaks in better and can enjoy the overall comfort this shoe looks to be able to provide.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Dave from They Look great Only had for a few days, they seemed like good quality, they look fantastic! But unfortunately I have a wider foot, I went up a size and usually that works but they seem to be for a narrow foot, really squeezes my foot. Really really wish they would make a wide!!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Zulia from Runs small I ordered these for my 12 year old son who is a size 7. I measured his foot before I ordered and decided I should go up a 1/2 size just in case. Unfortunately the 7.5 was still too small, he complained that his toes were pushing at the front and they were uncomfortable. His foot has not grown since his current shoes still fit fine which can only mean that these boots run a whole shoe size too small. Otherwise a nice boot. Will not be ordering another size online though, returns through mail are not worth it.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jesse106 from Caution The Fairbanks boot is a well built and stylish shoe. The shoe has a good comfortable sole. The only problem I have is that the top back of the shoe rubs against the back of my legs when I walk and causes discomfort.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Shelly94 from Best adventure shoe I've owned Great shoe for hiking/adventuring on many terrains. Walked through multiple small patches of running water with no water leaking through, I was very impressed. Extremely comfortable however the only thing to watch out for is that they are a little narrow at the top for anyone with a wide foot. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

I Bought these boots for a fall get away to The Windy City! They are so great! I wanted something waterproof. They aren't heavy and so comfortable. Keep my feet warm in 25 degree weather minus the wind chill. I purchase the grey and blue and now black. I was 3 boots of the same type. :-) And all my family members bought them too.

I bought the men's Fairbanks 503 Mid boots in the collegiate Navy/ bright Copper color and they are a great pair of boots! These boots are high quality, waterproof, light, versatile boots that can be used for any outdoor activity. Recently I used these boots in the snow and my feet stayed completely dry throughout the day. I plan on also using them for hiking, camping and trail running. I do not regret my purchase. Columbia makes high quality, durable products that I enjoy using. I definitely recommend this product!!!!

Rated 3 out of 5 by Jeremy60516 from Runs narrow and not quite waterproof I had pretty high expectations for these; I've loved the other Columbia shoes/boots I've owned in the same size. So I was disappointed that these felt so narrow to the point of barely fitting. Out in a wetter, more slushy snow water started to get in through some of the front seams too, making them less functional. Now that they're broken in they feel a bit better, but overall these did not live up to the hype.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Adam20 from Great Shoe! I've had these for about a month now and I've taken them on a couple hikes and I wear them around day to day especially when its raining or snowing. They have held up very well and are very comfortable! They are nice and snug but not too tight(unless you tie the laces too tightly).

Rated 5 out of 5 by ChrisNC from Good shoe but feels narrow I bought these as an all around every day shoe. I like that they are light, pretty flexible, and look good. As soon as I put them on I noticed two things: they were right on length wise but they are narrow. I don't have what I consider wide feet but they were boarder line painful. I wore them around the house for a day hoping they would stretch or break in and they did. After about 4 days now I can wear them all day without any issue. I have not gotten them wet so I can't speak about the water resistance. Also they aren't warm at all. Today was 28 degrees out at my feet were pretty cold. They aren't winter boots. Also I'm not used to high tops so I wore ankle socks today and now I have a blister on my Achilles' tendon where the high back rubbed it but that's my fault. The lacing pattern is weird but works and feels secure. I'm not sure about the durability of the laces, I see them wearing out early. Overall I'm satisfied with them and look forward to wearing them more.

Rated 4 out of 5 by AsianJesusNYC from Stylish design shoes Giving it a 4 stars because the back stab the heel area is a bit rough when I first worn it. It rubbed against my skin and it was hurting all day. I think a simple longer socks will prevent it happening until the material got soften. Otherwise, fit and feel great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by GSak from Impressive I'm impressed with the comfort and light weight of these waterproof hiking shoes. They feel like sneakers! Great for mild to warm wet days when I don't need big, heavy boots. These are not meant for really cold days as one would need more insulation so keep that in mind.

Rated 5 out of 5 by r4qh from Great style, light and secure grip Style is pretty much on point with pictures, which is nice. Only worn inside yet. Shoes feel true to size, but seem to run a little wide with a little lower arc support than expected. They feel good and comfortable with decent support, but the ankle still feels free. They are moderately rigid and give a secure grip. I usually replace my laces on most shoes/boots as they either compress my injured foot to much or won't stay tied up unless doubled. Can't comment on durability yet, but laces hold in place and design seem to be soft on the foot even when tied up good. (This review was collected as part of a promotion.)

Rated 5 out of 5 by SnakeEyes from Sneakerheads Comfort I was looking for a boot that gave the comfort of a sneaker. These are the Answer to my desires in a sneaker boot. They are warm which means I don't need to wear thick socks. Living in a major city on cold rainy days requires something comfortable and durable to walk in. The Fairbanks is the answer. The only thing I'd change though is the smell of rubber, however, after a few washes it goes away. Its like that new car smell that you know eventually goes away. I recommend this product if you're looking for the comfort in a sneaker with the design and purpose of a boot!

Rated 4 out of 5 by IamWil from Weatherproof I bought this shoes primarily for the wet weather and hopefully, during the snow season. I haven't really tested it's waterproof feature but when I used it, it feels warm in my feet. It also feels comfortable walking around with it. I only scored 4 in functioning because I have yet to try it's weatherproof capability.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Seanton85 from Awesome shoes Super comfy shoes. I get lots of compliments. They do run a bit small. I usually wear 10.5 but I took a gamble and ordered 11 (they wee out of 10.5) and they fit perfect.

something about the site owner "monkey" committing suicide….?? Then whoever took over turned it into a political/semi Ute forum. Just curious to know the real story if there is one.
Here is my side of the story.
Monkey had a lot of problems with alcohol. He went through a rough period and made some mistakes.
I spoke to him a lot the few months before he died. I was "this" close to buying it from him. Then he died.
The people who run Utahby5 were friends with him/his wife. They are the "old" blood of UFN. They left UFN when it became popular and started Utahby5 and turned it into a "old blood only" Utah site.
When monkey died, they gained control of UFN and have found themselves in a sticky situation. UFN went rogue between the time monkey died and they took over.
It would take a lot of time and money to bring UFN back up to speed. And change. And they don't like change.
They don't want to do the work, they need the clicks for money to maintain the site, so it's devolved into the mess it currently is.
It's too bad. I had big hopes for that place, but it's just spiraled into the mess it is currently. It needs someone to take over, overhaul it from top to bottom and rebuild it.
I tried to help Chris (monkey) a few times with a redesign and modernization, but it never happened. The site kept going down and I kept reading the users' complaints about the obtrusive ads, site being down, and such, and I finally decided to build my own rather than getting involved with the mess there. I don't really know what happened to Chris regarding how he passed.

Wow! School is out (finally) and we wasted no time start our summer! Seriously. I don't know that we've ever started it quite like this, but I have to report that unlike other vacations in the past this one was missing something (I'll get to that later). By Thurs. both kids were out of school and on Sunday we were on the road baby! Take that summer! Right in the kisser!
Hubby's job gives him 4 wks vacation a year. The problem: finding time to take it. I know I know. I'm all over him all the time to take his days, but so many times, the year ends and he still has vacation left. When he worked for Mervyn's (I miss Mervyn's) they were allowed to sell back any unused days. It was wonderful. But not his current employer. Use it or lose it. And even though he's taken some already this year, he's still had a couple of wks left when we took this trip. (their year is July to June, so you see our scramble) A few yrs ago, his parents moved back to Idaho, but we had a difficult time finding the time (shock!) and decent air fare (that's the real joke these days). We didn't want to drive- it's two solid days' drive-hard to give up that kind of time when you've only got a week.
I actually managed to find reasonable airfare and started planning our trip. The catch: we had to drive to another airport 1-1/2 hrs away (it saved us $400, I'd do it again in a flash). Ok, no prob. I can do 90 minutes for $400, wouldn't you? Sunday we load up the car and head out at 9AM. Get to the airport, park, check in, grab a bite of overpriced airport food. Denver flight is 1-1/2 hrs. The crap part, we had a 4 hr layover in Denver. Boo. As we're going to the gate for our connection, I spied a New Belgium Hub. New Belgium, in case you don't know, is a brewery out of Colorado and they make my favorite beer, Fat Tire. Imagine my joy! They have my beer on tap and some really good food. Ok, that's 2 hrs down, now what? we whiled away our time walking on the moving sidewalks and perusing the random overpriced shops. 1-1/2 hrs flight to Salt Lake City, pick up the rental car andcan it be? This time I spied In N Out burger! Dinner done, back on the road for the 2-1/2 hr drive to the in-laws house. Sheesh, for being a faster mode of transportation, it still took us 14 hours traveling.
If you haven't had the opportunity to visit Yellowstone National Park, I highly recommend it. We only had a very brief visit, but it was amazing. To think it's a prehistoric GINORMOUS volcanic caldera is really pretty intimidating. If it goes off again, we're all toast. But until then, we'll just admire the beauty. We saw geysers (Old Faithful, natch), basins, paint/mud pots and lots of wild life. Antelope, elk, bison, and……wait for it….bears! Yes, a black bear was just walking along the road eating. And a bit farther along a grizzly. My sister-in-law was in the lead car and saw the hump on its neck that says 'i'm a grizzly, don't mess with me'. The crazy part of the bears, people were OUT OF THEIR CARS, some were even crossing the road and dragging their small children to get a better look! Seriously people, I wanted to yell at them 'THIS ISN'T THE ZOO!' but I didn't, we just kept driving. Sadly, I wasn't able to get a pic.
We'd prepared for cold weather (it snowed over Memorial Day wknd), wearing layers and fleece. Because my daughter didn't have any long sleeves with her, I packed two jackets for her with the thought she could layer if necessary. By the time we made it home, we only had one. How does that happen? Nine people and no one saw what happened. Oh, I nearly forgot snow! There was actually quite a lot of snow. So we stopped and let kids have a quick snowball fight. That's pretty fun, considering we only got about 2″ of snow this year!
Going south from Yellowstone is an area I've always wanted to visit, Jackson Hole and the Grand Tetons. Wow. They are absolutely breathtaking. I've seen mountains, been in mountains, camped in mountains, but these were simply spectacular. Huge, rugged and snow-covered. It was worth the trip and they were even more amazing than I'd dreamed they'd be. There are truly no words to describe being there and even though I've got some really wonderful photos, there's no way they can ever do justice.
We stayed in Jackson a night. It's a really cute little old cowboy town. There are lots of log buildings and heavy wood used to give it all a real western feel. We went to the Million Dollar Cowboy Saloon. Holy cow! This place is old school. All of the wood was knotty pine that had been lacquered to a really deep brown, glossy finish. There were silver dollars IN the bar top and the bar stools, well, they were saddles, stirrups and all! Across from the saloon is the town square. The entrances to the square itself are marked by 20 foot high elk antler arches! It was just a cool little town. From what I understand there's some really incredible skiing there in winter. And in case you get the idea of buying a home there, unless you're independently wealthy, it's not happening. Just for grins and giggles I picked up a real estate magazine. Ha. For a few mil I could have 3 bed 2 bath condo. It's always fun to dream, but until I win the lottery….
OMG I nearly forgot. Moose. We were hoping to see bears and moose. Day two on our way out of Tetons National Park, we came around a bend and there were several cars parked in a little pull out. There was a man with a camera that had a lens on it as big around as my thigh. Of course that means there's something there so we stopped too. At the base of this hill, in a little grassy area right next to a stream was a female moose laying down and according to the people there, she was in labor. She'd pant hard, look at her behind, and relax. And do it again a few minutes later. Unfortunately we had no way of knowing how much longer it would be and didn't have time to stand around to wait. Back in the car. On the road called "Moose-Wilson", now I know why. Driving through the mountains on a rutted, dirt road, feeling like we were the only ones around is pretty cool. Another bend and we're out of the trees, and in another field, we spy another female moose out for lunch. We were really excited. For a short visit, we saw quite a lot!
The weather was perfect for our entire trip. And then it was time to come home. Another 14 hour travel day. Did I mention the hail storm? Yep, the airport where our car was parked had a hailstorm blow thru and my car got some hail damage. Judging from the size of the dents, I"m glad the windows weren't shattered!
Now comes the really incredible part. I didn't say anything while we were gone b/c I totally didn't want to jinx it. I think you may have read my posts about previous vacations. Something always went wrong. Be it delays and missed connections, or a puking kid. Not once were we able to take a trip without something going wrong and vomit playing a role in our trip. I waited until we were home and did my own little happy dance. Minus the missing jacket, a skinned knee (my boy) and a fat lip ( my girl during a game of hide & seek in the dark), our trip went perfectly! I was so freaking thrilled! Little blessings, I know. But hey, I'll take them when I can get them!
Did you notice the title? "Part I"? things went so well the first time around, and with all the vacation hubby's got to burn (plus a bonus!) we're taking kids to Florida next month! I so hope I can share good things with you all about our trip then too! That would make my freaking year! How sad is it when you're thrilled about no one puking?
One last shot, me and my honey.

Yes. If you want to exploit the full potential of Visit Connect, you should do these things before the event:
create your account for the Visit Connect web portal (The Visit Connect web portal is where you manage your accounts, licences and leads), where you can view and manage your leads (A lead is a person who represents a sales opportunity for your company);
NOTE: If you've already used Visit Connect and/or Visit Partner at a previous event, then you should already have an account and can skip this task. In this case, you can go directly to Add a new event.

Facial recognition systems have been widely used by law enforcement agencies to identify people in photos, video, or in real-time. Historically, this technology has been valuable when it comes to finding missing people, identifying and tracking down criminals, and speeding up investigations. While such technology can be very helpful, there are also a number of privacy concerns.
This new ban forbids the use of facial recognition technology by the city's 53 departments, including the San Francisco Police Department.
"With this vote, San Francisco has declared that face surveillance technology is incompatible with a healthy democracy and that residents deserve a voice in the decision about high-tech surveillance," said Matt Cagle, a technology and civil liberties attorney at the ACLU of Northern California.
Any city department that wants to use surveillance technology must first get approval from the Board of Supervisors, however, existing use of surveillance tech, including police body cameras and license plate readers will still be allowed. Having said this, details of how it is used will need to be shared, and the city will report to the Board of Supervisors each year to ensure that this technology continues to be used in the approved ways.
It is important to note that the ban only applies to the San Francisco city agencies, including the police department. The ban does not apply to the use of the technology by the federal government (for example, at airports and ports). The ban imposes no limitations for companies deploying facial recognition technology for business use (e.g. surveillance cameras on office premises). Facial recognition tech for personal use is also unaffected by this ban.

RUG 2008 Wrap-Up
This year's RUG Meeting was a great success and we thank all who attended. As always your feedback was invaluable and we'll be updating you over the summer as we add more of your suggestions into ROES. Set your calendars: We expect next year's RUG Meeting to occur around June 15th!
Template Tool Update
The new Template Tool has been deployed for use. Changes and new features/functions:
New Add Attribute List
The ROES Template Tool is updated with the new features shown during the RUG as well as new treatment for the Add Attributes list. As you may have noticed, the attribute lists for templates and nodes has gotten quite long, and in some cases may have gone off your screen at the bottom. The updated Template Tool now has a scrollable list appearing when you click Add Attribute. In addition, the free entry line is above the list now, instead of at the bottom. To add an attribute, double-click on it to add it immediately or click it once from the scrolling list and click the Add button. All books attributes have been added into the list, with basic definitions available via clicking Help - Help from the top menu. A more definitive description of books attributes with screen shots can be found at http://www.softworksroes.com/ROES/UsersGuides/Bookattributes.html. A sample templates file with books build examples in it can be pulled from www.softworksroes.com/ROES/Books/Books.zip.
.RO File Import For Template Creation
The Template Tool can now read in .ro order files to import templates built in the order via Pager. This will allow a graphical design for image and text node placement and supports adding strokes to image nodes. If using your own lab's Pager module to do the template design, after entering your order file password in Template Tool under File - Preferences, simply save the .ro files to disk and then drag/drop onto a template group. For labs who do not have Pager or don't have ROES Pro, we have a Pro launch that can be used at http://www.softworksroes.com/ROES/labs/ROImport/. The templates file used by this Client has all standard, large, and square sizes of prints set as blank templates with a single full size node. All items are pagereditable and have addenabled set to true on them, so creating empty templates and adding them to an order will be easy. Orders created using the ROImport launch will not need any order file password entered in Preferences to be imported into Template Tool. If any sizes are missing or there are items you would like to see please let us know. Also remember that once you create/import an item in Template Tool that you can duplicate it in a different size by choosing Scale Template in the right-click menu.
Broken Links Displayed
The new Template Tool will display options set as Links whose link target is no longer found in the u_id database. This will help alleviate problems where options set as links fail to display because the original option's u_id has changed.
Display of duplicate u_id's updated
Alerts for duplicate u_id's are now cleaner to view and sort through/resolve. When an option set is copied and pasted, for instance, the alert for all of the items will show with the parent at the top. Click the parent in the alerts to expand the list and double click on one of the u_id's listed to see it in the templates tree. Right Click on the parent item and select new u_id's from the list to assign new u_id's to the parent option and all child options off of it.
Books Update
Books Client Version:
We have a new client release available that has books usage available. If you would like to have us change your client live or test launches to use this new version, please let us know via e-mail and we will let you know it has been done so you can test or offer books in ROES.
Client Usage:
Upon opening a book, the available templates for use on the front cover will be shown above the cover area. Click and drag the desired template down to the cover area. At that point you can add images and/or text to the page. After clicking the right arrow to open the book, the templates selection area above will change to display designs available for that section of the book. Once again, click and drag the desired templates to be presented as a single page (like for an inside or back cover), or as opposing pages facing each other. A template must be selected and dropped into the book page before that page can have images added to it.
Below are instructions for creating the 2 common types of books. A sample templates file with books build examples in it can be pulled from www.softworksroes.com/ROES/Books/Books.zip. A sample templates file with book styles of each can be found at www.softworksroes.com/ROES/labs/SARDemo/.
To set up a simple 3 section book (no pictures/page assigned to inside of front nor back covers):
Click Add and select Template, label it as desired (10x10 Book for this example), and then set the bounds to 10 x 10.
Click Add Attribute, select containertype and set to book
Click Add and select Template, label it as Front Cover
Click Add Attribute and add the following: containertype set to section; displaywidth set to 1; itemcountminimum set to 1, itemcountmaximum set to 1, set bounds to 10 x 10
Add templates off Front Cover, set clearonaddtoorder to true, add pagereditable true if desired on each
Click Add and select Template, label it as Pages
Click Add Attribute and add the following: containertype set to section; displaywidth set to 2; itemcountminimum set to 4, itemcountmaximum set to 20, set bounds to 10 x 10
Add templates off Pages, set clearonaddtoorder to true, add pagereditable true if desired on each
Click Add and select Template, label it as Back Cover
Click Add Attribute and add the following: containertype set to section; displaywidth set to 1; itemcountminimum set to 1, itemcountmaximum set to 1, set bounds to 10 x 10
Add templates off Back Cover, set clearonaddtoorder to true, add pagereditable true if desired on each
To set up a 5 section book (sections for inside front and back covers):
Click Add and select Template, label it as desired (10x10 Book for this example), and then set the bounds to 10 x 10.
Click Add Attribute, select containertype and set to book
Click Add and select Template, label it as Front Cover
Click Add Attribute and add the following: containertype set to section; displaywidth set to 1; itemcountminimum set to 1, itemcountmaximum set to 1, set bounds to 10 x 10

Click Add and select Template, label it as Inside Front Cover
Click Add Attribute and add the following: containertype set to section; displaywidth set to 1; itemcountminimum set to 1, itemcountmaximum set to 1, set bounds to 10 x 10
Add templates off Inside Front Cover, set clearonaddtoorder to true, add pagereditable true if desired on each
Click Add and select Template, label it as Pages
Click Add Attribute and add the following: containertype set to section; displaywidth set to 2; itemcountminimum set to 4, itemcountmaximum set to 20, set bounds to 10 x 10

Add templates off Back Cover, set clearonaddtoorder to true, add pagereditable true if desired on each
It is recommended to always have a blank Pager editable template in each section, so that studios who wish to design their own can do so - either using Pager or using something they create in Photoshop, etc.
ROES Servers and E-Mail
As ISP's continue to close off port 25 to ward off spam and hacker attacks, the generic e-mail function in the ROES Server will stop sending, since it defaults to port 25. In order to use the new port from your ISP, set the port value after a colon at the end of the outgoing server URL or IP address, i.e. smtp.verizon.net:575. Version 1.035 (also listed as 1.035b) of the ROES DP2 Server and versions of the ROES Stand Alone Server dated later than 10/16/2007 support this. Please remember that version 1.035 requires Java Run Time installed.
Support Notes:
Web Site/Videos Update!
Our Support area has updated FAQ pages and the videos page has a new Pager video, the Records video and usage videos for the Pro and Retail Clients. Additional videos for books mode will be added soon. The main Support page now has links at the bottom for the most common issues with fixes for them. The News/Press area also has all of our update messages for your review.
Tilde Usage by Studios
We should have all DP2 labs' ROES Clients set so that studios cannot use tildes in folder paths.
Corrupt Saved Incomplete Orders
We have found that some corrupt messages received when opening a saved incomplete order to be caused by the lack of a "label" attribute on an option. Even when using the "icon" attribute to represent an option graphically the "label" attribute still needs to be present, not deleted. A saved incomplete order utilizing an option that does not have a "label" attribute can result in a corrupt message when it is loaded.
Java Notes
new systems with
Default Java Version in ROES
ROES launches default to using Java 1.4 as a minimum installed version and will
look to load 1.4.2 if no Java is found in Windows. We can offer the
ability to default to using Java 1.5 as a minimum with a Java 1.6
install. This will allow for better installs on
Mac OS 10.5 Leopard Issues
The Leopard OS has caused a number of issues regarding ROES startup (none in actual use of ROES). As mentioned in the Nov. 1 message, in most cases starting from the Java Web Start application viewer has worked fine. However, we have seen cases where the Java Web Start.app is not even found or fails to start properly, causing a MAC system error report to generate. In these cases it is best to have the customer re-install the MAC OS upgrade and run Software Update immediately after to get everything up to date. For anyone still seeing startup issues from the desktop icons, be sure to try using Java Web Start.app (open Finder and go to Applications - Utilities - Java) and look under User, not System, for the entries.
If the same major error continues to repeat after reloading the Leopard upgrade, such as a EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS) Exception Codes: KERN_PROTECTION_FAILURE, then what has worked as a last resort is to create a new user on the system, logging in as that new user and launching ROES from your web site link.
Mac OS X Error 'Failed to validate certificate'
The 'Failed to validate certificate' error has shown up on 10.5. Research has shown these to be occurring on systems upgraded from 10.4. In some instances early on, going into Java Security and Certificates and trusting the SoftWorks certificate fixed the issue. Lately, however, this error seems to be Java update related, particularly on the Core 2 Duo systems that recently got Java 1.6 into Leopard via Software Update. Using an alternate launch file has resolved this, in which we specify Java 1.5 as a minimum instead of the Java 1.4 default we have been using.
New Client Features/Attributes
New Feature - nodestyles - Saving and recalling a node style is now available within Pager. This feature allows a photographer to save embellishments made to a node such as strokes and drop shadows for later use. Once saved, the style can then be selected and applied to a node on another template in the order or used in future orders. This feature needs to be added at the Client startup configuration, so please contact us to add it to your live and/or test ROES Clients.
nodeimageopacity - The nodeimageopacity attribute can prevent opacity levels from affecting nodeimages. It should be added to image nodes that have nodeimage attributes present (or added via option) and set to false for opacity changes to only affect the image added to the node.
textentrywidth - The textentrywidth attribute can be used to define the width of the animated sliding drawer that drops from text nodes when the node is selected. The value should be set in pixel width.
Update: clearonaddtoorder - The clearonaddtoorder attribute has been updated so when set to true will return the product to its default rotation value after having been added to the order.
New .RO File Format
The new .ro ROES Order File format is in use and both ROES Servers, Stand Alone and DP2 v1.035, can process these. The .ro format eliminates the 4GB order file limit imposed by using .zip files. If you would like to start using this for your incoming orders, please let us know to make the change in your ROES Client (and be sure to be on one of the newer server versions). There is a new Sealer/Decryptor utility, called ROPack, available to unpack these new files. This Java application can be run via www.softworksroes.com/ROES/ROPack/launch.jnlp. Please use this once and set the shortcut to it on your desktop(s). Note: Once using the .ro files, the Finished Orders will not be just .zip files that you can open and view certain parts, you will need to use the ROPack utility with your order file password (call, IM or e-mail if needed) to expand the .ro to a folder you can browse through.
ROES DP2 Server
Please check your ROES DP2 Server version, you should be on v1.035 or 1.035b now if on DP2 v8 or 9. The server download can be found at www.softworksroes.com/ROES/Dp2Server/NewServer.zip. This version now has a fully functional RAW workflow. Studios must shoot in RAW and JPG formats so that they have the same files of each type (please contact us to set the RAW ability in the ROES Client). The 1.035 Server version can also send HTML-based email confirmations. A sample template can be found in www.softworksroes.com/ROES/labs/SARDemo/ReportTemplates.zip.
Updated Attributes/Function: promocode/code/discount - You can now have an Order Option that prompts for a promotional code to be entered in a needs_text line as either a percentage of the order or a whole dollar amount. The u_id of the option used for entry MUST be promocode and there are 3 attributes needed: needs_text for the user entry, code for the value of the promo code(s) that the text entry must match exactly, and discount for the amount to calculate, i.e. .90 for a 10% discount on the order or -10 for a $10 discount (negative numbers will be looked at as a whole dollar amount to be taken off). To utilize multiple promotional codes, simply use comma delimited lists in the code and discount fields, where code could have value of 1234,2345,3456 and discount could have value of .9,.75,-20 for 10% off, 25% off and $20 off for the 3 codes respectively. The number of delimited entries must match between the code and discount fields (5 in each, 10 in each, etc.).
Updated: newlines Attribute
This attribute has been updated to define the number of lines that can be created in a text node using Enter. It can prevent users from creating multiple text lines where a single line is desired by setting the value to 1 (no changes will be needed, current listings of false will be set to 1). Adding newlines set to 1 will force just single line entry into the node; coupled with the characterlimit attribute can allow you to control the amount of text each node receives for better rendering. For taller nodes (on a greeting card, for instance), you can set newlines to 2 or 3 to allow more freedom but still restrict the client from adding too many lines.
New Attribute: rotation - The rotation attribute can be used on a text node to alter the appearance of text in the node, ideally for vertical text representations. Use 90 and -90 for values to make horizontal text read down or up in the ROES Client.
New Attribute: fitallowed - The fitallowed attribute can be added on a node and set to false to disable the ability to fit an image instead of cropping.
New Attribute: unlockonaddtoorder - The unlockonaddtoorder attribute can be set to true on a node to clear image lock on add to order (i.e. to allow a customer to drop a new image into the background field they have locked to prevent it from being overwritten in a mass drop of images).
Edit Item/Delete Item labels in Review - The Edit and Delete functions in the Review Order window can have labels on them to more formally show their functions. Please contact us to add these labels.
Dual Rotation Buttons For Rotate Image/Rotate Layout - The dual buttons for rotating in different directions can be added to replace the single button for each, eliminating the need to use the ALT/OPT keys to change directions for rotation of a template or image. This can be very helpful for better logo insertion, particularly for Fuji PIC Pro.
New Attributes/Shipping Weight Calculation Function: uses and 'weight'
Using these new attributes, the total of weight values can be used to apply a price based on a tiered format. Each product and option can be given an attribute of weight with a numeric value as a weight measurement (.5 on a 4x5, 1 on an 8x10, 2 on a 16x20 for instance). On an Order Option such as shipping, add attribute of uses and list weight as the value. Then set a tiered price format and add tiertype set to graded, with the break points for each tier being the sum of the weight values added. For example basic ground shipping might always be 4.50, then a next tier at weight value of 30 is 5.95, and weight value of 100 is 9.95, the shipping option for basic ground would have attribute of uses with weight as its' value and each product and mounting option would have a weight attribute set to a particular value for that item. The price attribute of ground shipping would be 1,4.50,30,5.95,100,9.95 and keep going up from there. If you offer free shipping after a certain order size you set the price tier to be 0.00 once it gets over that weight amount. If you calculate shipping charges based on order price you simply use price as the uses value, and have the tiered pricing reflect the shipping on each order amount (Item options prices count while Image Options do not).
Updated Function: Edit/Sort in Review Order
The ability to double click on the thumbnail of an order item in Review has been restored. Drag and Drop to re-sort items still works as well, however the drag must start to the right of the order item thumbnail image.
New Attribute: disableu_idonorder
Using this attribute on a product and adding that product to an order you can disable another product or number of products. Simply list the u_id's of the products to be disabled in the attribute's value and they will be disabled in the Sizes palette and menu upon adding the first product to the order. This is useful in forcing customers to only order a single proof or print size per order or a single album cover page per order.
New Attribute: clearonaddtoorder
When added to a product, this attribute will clear the image(s) from the item when it is added to the order.
New Attribute: taxable
For use on Order Options, if set to true or false will determine whether or not the option should be subject to sales tax calculations.
New Feature: Local Fonts in Pager
Pager now offers a new font option! If activated, Pager will show a Font button using local system fonts at the studio and render these as images, including the ability to shadow the text after selecting one of the available fonts for use. The node will be transferred back as an image node and rendered in the ROES Stand Alone Server or updated version of the ROES DP2 Server, available at http://www.softworksroes.com/ROES/DP2_Server/SWROESServerSetup(v1.0.35b).zip (this is not a formal server release but will be shortly). Please contact us to activate the new Pager Font button in your ROES Client.
Credit Card Authorization in ROES
credit cards can be authorized in ROES prior to order completion and
transmission. We have integrations with several authorizers in use
already: PayFlow Pro (PayPal.com, system
formerly owned by Verisign); PayFuse
XML (FirstNationalMerchants.com); Authorize.net; GoEMerchant
XML (goemerchant.com); and
Credit Card Window Configurability
The newer credit card window can be configured to alter field names, have an additional field added if needed for extra security codes, and/or remove the shipping address area along with the 'Use billing as shipping' checkbox.
New Attribute: pricemultiplier and priceminimum - pricemultiplier can be set on an option with a value of true along with a price attribute whose values can be used to add a percentage to the product it is being applied to (i.e., 1.20 in price to add a 20% increase for printing an item on metallic paper). This allow you to only alter the prices of the products themselves and not additional options the totalpricemultiplier takes into account, like retouching services, mounting, or sprays. The priceminimum attribute can be added onto options with pricemultiplier to set a mandatory minimum charge for the selected option and override the percentage calculation if greater. Using the previous example, this would work as pricemultiplier set to true, price set to 1.20 for a 20% add-on to the product and priceminimum of 1.00 so that it will always add at least $1.00 to the item price if the option is selected and the 20% value is less than 1.00.
New Attribute: hidden - For use on an Option, this can be used to hide an option you have set to mandatory for the purpose of disabling another option. For example, you offer an option set on an entire group to convert the image color, but one one template in the group you wish for there to be no color options. On the one item, add an option set with mandatory and hidden attributes set to true on the parent, and disableu_id added on the sub or child option. Add the u_id of the image color as the value, and when the one item is selected the image color option will be disabled without the new option showing as selected by default.
Drop Shadows of pre-existing nodes - Pager can now add drop shadows to pre-existing image nodes that are part of your templates in addition to Pager-added image nodes. Please advise if you would like this feature turned on as it is optional. You should also be running the latest version of the ROES DP2 Server, 1.034, or the newer March 2007 version of the Stand Alone Server, to properly process these.
Updated Attribute: totalpricemultiplier changes - The totalpricemultiplier attribute is added directly on an overridesadd off an Order Option. This calculation will now be pre-tax and also can be before any shipping amount, if the u_id of the Shipping option being selected starts with shipping (i.e. u_id's of shipping_usps, shipping_ground, shipping_2ndday, etc.) .
Updated Attribute - needs_text - You can now require an entry in this field by leaving the value in Template Tool blank. For template & item options, the Add to Order button will be disabled, just like when an image node isn't filled on a product. For an Order Option, the user is blocked with a dialog telling them to fill in some text.
Updated Attribute - needs_file - When an option with needs file is selected, the Client will not allow the order to complete unless a file has been attached to the order. A dialog box informing the studio that a file is needed will pop up.
New Preference: Remember last folder between launches - This preference (selected by default), if unchecked, will clear the last used thumbnails folder for Presenter, Records, and main client. This is ideal for large proofing environments.
Wider pane dividers - The pane dividers in the main client area and Presenter are wider now, allowing easier access to the collapse/expand arrows.
New Credit Card Window Report Macros - The ROES Pro and Retail Clients have a new credit card entry window across the board (for standard card data collection and immediate e-payments), with all fields required. Selection of the Use Bill To Address for Shipping Address will collapse the shipping address areas, so no entry will be required.
This new window also has new report macros to be used:
rotationallowed Attribute
This attribute can be added on a template and set to false to disable the Rotate Layout button.
Change to autorotate Attribute
The autorotate attribute in Template Tool, when set to true, will activate the Autorotate button on the pro toolbar. After being turned on, the button will remain selected until it is manually de-selected or a product with a false flag is chosen.
addenabled Attribute
Be sure to add the addenabled attribute on multi-image proof sheets (set to true) and informational/advertisement products used as the first template in a group (set to false). For the proof sheets it will allow customers to add the item to an order with empty nodes (whereas before they had to hold the ALT or OPT key to Add with Empty). For the informational items it will prevent the item from being added and causing an error upon receipt at the lab.
Use tooltips on products
If you want to be able to convey additional information about a product to studios, try adding an attribute of tooltip to the item and enter text you want them to see pop-up when they mouse over the product in the Sizes palette. This could be used to add reminders to look at mounting, sprays and other upsell options, to inform customers if an item is Pager editable, or available quantity discounts.
Image Names Can Be Linked Into Text Nodes
You can use Linknodes in a composite product to create a text entry of an image name into a text node upon adding the image to the matching image node. For example, a 6 up proof sheet starting with node id/u_id of 10000 for the first image node and node id/u_id of 10006 as the first text node you would add Linknodes to the product for each pair of nodes to connect and enter the u_id's as 10000,10006 in the field provided. If the nodes do not have u_id's, simply highlight all of the nodes in the product, then right-click and select Copy node id to u_id. Remember when using Linknodes that all nodes in the product must have u_id's assigned
Attribute with Linknodes: stripextension
When used on a text node that has been linked to an image node node via Linknodes, the file name appearing in the image node will be listed without the file extension. Remember when using Linknodes that all nodes in the product must have u_id's assigned
Linknodes update: Linking text nodes
You can use Linknodes to duplicate text entered in one node to another text node(s). This can be handy for trader cards where a player name, team or year may be entered more than once, especially when displaying the front and back of the card as one item via a DP2 Package. Remember when using Linknodes that all nodes in the product must have u_id's assigned.

Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark 2019
Published on September 8, 2019 06:03 by Leslie Cheung
Tube Score
If you like the Strange Things nostalgia, then Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark is your cup of tea. Scary Stories... carries great cinematography, and reminds you of those anthology TV series like The Twilight Zone, The Outer Limits or even Tales From The Crypt. However, the best part of the film is the portray of the evil entity - Sarah Bellows, whose book tells the scary stories and brings out the monsters in the film. Rotten toe in soup, spiders coming out of pimple, or any pale lady that consumes people in hallway cannot do more damage than fake rumours. Sarah Bellows was actually a victim but discredited and became a haunted force, and in turn, leads to more victims. Scary Stories To Tell In The Dark reflects on this fake news phenomenon and turns it into a haunted story.

What are item tags?
Item tags are used for filtering down to show groups of items that fit specific conditions, scenarios or themes within your story. Tags allow you to filter items that belong in one or more sets, like in a Venn diagram.
When to use tags
Often items can belong to multiple groups. For example the products (items) in a story may relate to different combinations of markets such as UK, USA, Australia, Germany and so on. As there are a large potential number of markets it is not practical to create separate attributes for each. This is a situation in which tags are perfect. However note that tags cannot be used as the axes of plots so where there is a choice to use attributes or tags, you would normally choose attributes.
Create and manage tags
Tags can be created and edited here in the story set-up. They can also be created when you paste data (which includes a tags column) into the data grid or when editing any item through the Edit item properties panel.
Saving your changes
Save the changes you have made to any of the settings within the Story set-up screens with the OK button or cancel all changes. To undo the set of changes click the undo button on the toolbar.
What can I do in this screen?
- Add (type or paste), delete or rename tags
- Assign tags to Tag groups to allow control over which tags are available to filter by on different views.

- Face normalization (1) (remove)
We present a system to automatically recognize facial expressions from static images. Our approach consists of extracting particular Gabor features from normalized face images and mapping them into three of the six basic emotions: joy, surprise and sadness, plus neutrality. Selection of the Gabor features is performed via the AdaBoost algorithm. We evaluated two learning machines (AdaBoost and Support Vector Machines), two multi-classification strategies (Error-Correcting Output Codes and One-vs-One) and two face image sizes (48 x 48 and 96 x 96). Images of the Cohn-Kanade AU-Coded Facial Expression Database were used as test bed for our research. Best results (87.14% recognition rate) were obtained using Support Vector Machines in combination with Error-Correcting Output Codes and normalized face images of 96 x 96.

Exfoliation is definitely the favourite part of my skincare routine. And I am always on the lookout for a product that helps achieve that smooth, baby soft skin without any clogged pores.
So I picked up the Juicy Chemistry Avarampoo, Papaya and Bergamot Scrub during one of their sales and here is my experience using it.
Product claims:
Forget powder puffs & oil-blotting papers! Try this deep cleansing formula for effective shine control. Harnessing the power of active exfoliating agents this scrub sloughs away dead skin controls oil production, cleanses pores and neutralizes acne-causing bacteria.
Salt & sugar gently exfoliate, Amaranth seals in moisture, while Papaya and bergamot together detoxify & perk up skin cells into behaving themselves. Reveal fresh shine-free skin with this powerful scrub!
Price: Rs. 400 for 35gms, Rs 650 for 75gms
Shelf life: 6 months
About the product:
The Juicy Chemistry Avarampoo, Papaya and Bergamot Scrub comes in a transparent jar with a protective lid and a wooden spoon. The product inside has a yellowish-brown colour and a grainy consistency with a herby smell to it.
Sucrose, sodium chloride, sucrose, Olea europaea (olive) oil, Simmondsia Chinensis(jojoba oil), Cassia A
Directions to use:
Using our wee spoon, scoop out a little product into a clean bowl. Mix it with a few drops of your favourite hydrosol. Spread the resulting mixture on your face, let it dry for 5-10 mins & wash off. Use once or twice a week.

My experience:
This is my first Juicy chemistry product so I was excited to try this out. The scrub came packaged well with a seal and a wooden spoon which I liked. (Honestly, I wish more brands start proving scoops along products sold in jars.)
The scrub is clumped together in the jar and I take about half spoon in a plate and mix it with 2-3 drops of rose water. The salt and most of the sugar instantly melt away leaving brown liquid with a few larger sugar granules.
I apply this on my face and leave it on for 5-7 minutes as directed on the label. And then slowly massage it off with wet hands and rinse thoroughly afterwards.
The scrub is moisture sensitive and you have to be careful to not add more than 2-3 drops or the scrub completely melts away. It does not provide a satisfactory scrubbing action due to his fact. And the few larger sugar granules left behind feels scratchy sometimes even when used light-handedly.
It does leave my cheeks and forehead smooth afterwards, a sign of some exfoliation. But it doesn't do much in the areas around my nose and chin which are prone to clogged pores.
There is also a slightly sticky feeling on the skin afterwards due to melted sugar which takes some effort to be removed completely.
I would have been happy with the Juicy Chemistry Avarampoo, Papaya and Bergamot scrub it if I didn't have an issue with clogged pores and blackheads. But it works decently on normal skin.
Also Read: Where to buy Plastic free cotton buds in India
- Ecocert Certified organic
- Handmade and vegan
- Exfoliates decently
- Cruelty-free
- No added fragrance and colours
- Does not work on clog pores
- A bit expensive for the quantity
- Some sugar granules feel scratchy on skin
- Difficult to work with consistency
Final thoughts:
The Juicy Chemistry Avarampoo, Papaya and Bergamot scrub is an average scrub for its price. I don't see myself buying this again. If you have acne/blackhead prone skin, you may want to stay away from this too.
Although I am disappointed with this particular Juicy Chemistry product, I am looking forward to trying out other products from their range.

Manic Monday completed a manic first eight days at Wimbledon, seeing off No. 7 seed Karoline Pliskova, and making for the first time in the Open Era that no Top 8 seeds made it into the quarterfinals at the All England Club.
No. 20-seeded Kiki Bertens saw off Pliskova 6-3, 7-6(1). Bertens in the quarterfinals will meet No. 13-seeded German Julia Goerges who stopped Donna Vekic 6-3, 6-2.
No. 25 seed Serena Williams was all business in her all-mommy match against Russian Evgeniya Rodina, quickly wrapping up the affair 6-2, 6-2.
"I'm a perfectionist, I always find something wrong," Serena said afterwards. "I thought it was a good scoreline, but it was tougher than the scoreline. She can hit the ball well, which is why she made it so far…I knew we were both mums, I'm not sure how often that's happened, if ever. It shows you can be a mum, you can be in the quarterfinals at Wimbledon. You can do whatever you want."
Williams' next foe will be unseeded Italian Camila Giorgi, who advanced after seeing off Russian Ekaterina Makarova 6-3, 6-4.
Also lining-up quarterfinal meetings were No. 12 Jelena Ostapenko and unseeded Dominika Cibulkova, and No. 11 Angie Kerber and No. 14 Daria Kasatkina.
Cibulkova beat the Halep-killer Hsieh Su-wei 6-4, 6-1, and Ostapenko wore down Aliaksandra Sasnovich 7-6(4), 6-0.
"It's showing that all the girls — top 10, top 50, top 100 — the tennis is really, really even," Cibulkova said afterwards.
Kerber stopped comeback kid Belinda Bencic 6-3, 7-6(5), and Kasatkina beat Alison Van Uytvanck 6-7(6), 6-3, 6-2.
"I'm trying not to look left or right, just focus on my play, and improve my tennis every single match," the German Kerber said. "I have a lot of tough matches still and the next one will be the same as this."
After losing the first set, double-faulting on set point, Kasatkina won 11 of the last 15 games.
"I'm just like an artist and I'm playing with the heart," said the 21-year-old Kasatkina, in a Grand Slam quarterfinal for the second consecutive time. "This is me, for sure. I'm completely crazy. Yeah, these things I can do are ridiculous sometimes. My friends and my team know it. I mean, I am not boring in life and I'm not boring on the court. Together, it's connected."
Pliskova afterwards gave her assessment of the remaining competitors.
"There is Kerber, there is Williams, I don't think the draw is open," she said.

But the weekend also includes two intriguing match-ups: Colombia x Peru (Sat) and Chile x Venezuela (Sun). While the former will be an interesting duel between the only side apart from Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay to have won the Copa America since Paraguay in 1979 and the 1975 champions, the latter pairs up the two most surprising sides of the tournament. Chile, by the own admission of Brazil manager Mano Menezes, has played the best football so far while Venezuela managed to hold the Brazilians to a goaless draw and then stage a gusty comeback from 3-1 down to draw with the Paraguayans.
Let the games begin.
