With 46% of millennials planning a trip using their mobile in the past year, it is the younger generation that is driving the digital shift.

So, how exactly are travel brands catering to mobile users, and more specifically, millennial mobile users?

Here's a closer look.

Piquing initial interest

Google uses the term 'micro-moments' to describe the times when we reach for our mobile phones for a specific purpose.

In terms of travel, the first interaction that many brands aim to capture is the 'I want to go' moment - i.e. the initial desire to travel.

At this point we might have a location or a place in mind, but mostly it is centred around general research.

Airbnb is a great example of how to engage mobile users in this moment.

Building on the fact that millennials typically crave experiences that excite and inspire, it uses guidebooks to build interest around a particular place.

By creating multiple articles about a single location, it means users are likely to get lost in their online journey, clicking further to discover recommendations and guides.

Before you know it, you've spent 45 minutes reading about the best markets to visit in Portland.

Booking.com also uses inspirational content to engage users during these early stages.

Using endorsements from fellow travellers, it is able to showcase a wide number of locations based on specific interests and activities.

While it does not discourage other age demographics, terms like 'adventure-seeking' and 'epic' are nicely aligned to millennials consumers.

Offering personalisation

With its interest-led content, the aforementioned example could also be seen as a move towards personalisation.

This is becoming increasingly important for consumers, as 22% of young travellers now desire a personalised and tailored experience on mobile.

Booking.com also demonstrates this by saving the user's past searches and previously viewed hotels.

While it might sound simple, this allows users to feel like their individual experience matters, as well as allowing it to seamlessly continue if they break away.

Secret Escapes also aims to deliver personalisation, mainly through its 'Wishlist' feature.

Allowing users to browse and save sales for later not only creates a personal experience, but it also recognises the fact that many people use multiple devices when planning a holiday.

Capturing spontaneity

Smartphones are naturally aligned to spontaneous buying behaviour.

Hotels.com found that 74% of mobile bookings are for same-day check-ins - this shows how important it is for travel brands to capture spontaneity.

With 85% of millennialls checking multiple sites to ensure they get the best deal, price is obvously a big factor.

In line with this, we can see how Hotels.com specifically focuses on deals and discounts to entice on-the-spot bookings.

Likewise, Premier Inn also highlights its 'Flex' feature that allows users to cancel a booking up until 1pm on the same day.

It also creates a sense of urgency by labelling the 'last few rooms' available on the search results.

Finally, TripAdvisor hopes that users will be inclined to book whilst browsing recommendations, including a visible prompt to book a tour there and then.

Making booking easy

39% of consumers say that ease-of-use is the thing they desire most from mobile travel sites and apps.

As a result, site speed and user-friendly search functions are incredibly important.

Expedia is one brand that consistently delivers here - its intuitive search bar means that results appear in the drop-down menu instantly.

Likewise, its highly visual calendar makes it easy to select and view dates, and its search results promote the various ways to filter.

Finally, HostelWorld - a brand that specifically targets millennials - also focuses on general all-round user experience.

From its predictive search to excellent filter options, it is designed to deliver up-front and easily accessible information.

It also uses maps and geo-locational technology to help users even long after they've made a booking.

By providing extra value in this way, consumers are much more likely to use the site again in future.

So, let's waste no more time.

Don't forget to download the Internet Statistics Compendium for more.

51% of UK online ads don't reach viewability standards

Meetrics' Q3 viewability report has revealed that the UK is underperforming when it comes to online ad viewability.

According to the benchmark defined by the IAB and Media Ratings Council, 50% of online ads should be in view for at least one second.

However, this is only the case for 49% of display ads.

This means that the UK remains far behind other European countries, with the likes of Austria and France having 69% and 60% viewability rates respectively.

68% of digital marketers see data analysis as the skill most integral to their role

Greenlight Digital's 41 Hour Report has highlighted the increasing role data is playing in all areas of the marketing industry.

Alongside content optimisation and the ability to align with the sales team, 68% of digital marketers say that analysing data – a task that is done on a daily basis – is the most integral skill for their job.

Coding is also growing in importance, but even more so for younger generations.

35% of digital marketers feel that it is important, but more specifically, 50% of marketers under the age of 30 believe that it is essential for their role.

Trump's email campaign outperforms Clinton's

Despite poor performance overall, research from email service provider, Mailjet, has revealed that Trump's email campaign is better at engaging grassroots donors.

From analysis of both Clinton and Trump's email campaigns across six different parameters, Trump comes out top in three, with the significant inclusion of calls-to-action winning him vital points.

However, with Trump scoring just 12.9 points out of a possible 27, low scores across the board indicate missed opportunities for both nominees.

Mailjet suggests that poor personalisation, poor design and a lack of cross device compatibility has led to poor results.

75% of consumers say omnichannel capabilities are a key factor for choosing retailers

The 2016 Mobile Research Survey from Astound Commerce has revealed that consumers are increasing looking for omnichannel capabilities on mobile devices.

In a study of consumer behaviour, it found that 64% have made an online purchase with an in-store pick-up in the last three months.

Likewise, six out of 10 consumers have used their mobile phone at least three times in a month to check whether a product is in stock at a local store.

With 57% saying that features like store locators (including nearby locations and mapped directions) are very important – the desire for a seamless shopping experience across all channels is growing.

65% of marketers see digital video as an important sales tool

Video marketing has traditionally been seen as a tool for engaging consumers as opposed to a medium for driving and tracking ROI.

However, new research from Sequent Partners shows that new technology in the video marketing space means marketers perceptions of the medium are changing.

Now, 65% of marketers say that digital video is growing in importance for driving offline sales.

85% of marketers also reported positive ROI from digital video.

Post-Brexit sales see strongest growth since 2014

The IMRG Capgemini eRetail Sales Index has revealed that the quarter following on from Brexit saw the strongest online sales growth since Q1 2014.

Alongside a growth of 16% year-on-year for the month of September, the report also shows a 17% growth for Q3 overall.

It was an impressive period for the home and garden sector in particular, seeing growth of 21% year-on-year and the 11th consecutive month of positive growth.

An unseasonably sunny and warm September is said to have been a big factor.

Sundays and Mondays set to be the best days for US travel this December

According to Sojern's Global Travel Insights report, just 9% of Americans have booked to travel on Sundays and Mondays in December.

This is compared to the 23% who are have made bookings for Fridays and 20% for Thursdays.

In terms of the top destination, Sojern says that Miami remains at the very top, with both Las Vegas and London increasing in popularity.

As Christmas Eve (historically the busiest day of the year for travel) falls on a Friday, 2016 looks set to be the busiest and most expensive for a while.

62% of customers feel undervalued by businesses

A report by Wiraya has suggested that businesses need to change the way they communicate with customers or risk losing them to rivals.

From a study of 500 UK consumers who have left their bank, energy, mobile or insurance provider in the last six months – 86% said they would have been more content to stay if they'd been contacted differently.

One in five consumers complained about the lack of relevancy in email communication, and 41% said being asked the same information twice was also a big annoyance.

Overall, banks and mobile providers came out in a better light than insurance and energy companies, however a need for increased relevancy and personalisation was a theme for all.

72% of people now they check their emails on a smartphone

In a survey of over 1,700 US consumers, Mapp Digital recently found 72% of respondents regularly check their emails using a smartphone instead of a desktop or tablet.

The fact that this figure rises to a whopping 91% for 18 to 24 year olds shows the growing acceptance of mobile use among millennials.

According to Mapp, this also extends to a willingness to receive marketing messages on mobile.

The percentage of 18 to 34 year-olds using a separate email address for brand communication decreased from 40% to 30% over the past year.

Videos overtake photos as the most popular brand post on Facebook

A new study by Quintly has delved into how big brands are performing on Facebook.

One of the biggest findings from the report shows how videos have overtaken photos as the most popular type of post.

In the first half of 2016, 54.9% of posts were videos compared to just 45.1% for photos.

Finally, there has been a steady decline in brand posts overall, going from an average of 150 posts per month in January to less than 100 posts per month in June.

Amazon and VMare announce partnership

It has been announced that Amazon and VMware – two competitors in cloud computing – are to join forces.

From next year, VMware's software - which includes VSphere, VSAN and NSX - will be able to run on Amazon's cloud, also becoming available to existing Amazon users.

Though they have traditionally been rivals, this move appears to be part of VMware's attempts to lead innovation rather than compete with the technology giant.

Tesco and Unilever fight (and make up again)

Marmite fans were left in despair this week as the famously divisive spread was removed from Tesco's website, following a dispute with Unilever over wholesale prices.

Due to the steep drop in the value of the pound, Unilever wanted to raise its prices by 10%.

However, Tesco refused and subsequently removed a range of Unilever products from its website, including PG Tips and Pot Noodle.

However, we can now all breathe a sigh of relief.

Unilever has since released a statement saying: "We have been working together closely to reach this resolution and ensure our much-loved brands are once again fully available. For all those that missed us, thanks for all the love."

"I can get you Marmite, son. Been collecting it for years. I knew this day would come. But it's gonna cost ya." #Marmitegate pic.twitter.com/HkYQIC18op

Facebook introduces Workplace tool

This week, it was announced that Workplace by Facebook will be opened up to any organization or business that wants to use it.

Formerly known as Facebook at Work, the enterprise tool is essentially a rival to Slack, allowing employees to communicate with each other outside the realms of company email.

So far, the likes of Danone, Starbucks and Oxfam have all signed up.

Samsung set to lose $5.4bn over Galaxy Note 7 recall

Since the Galaxy Note 7 was recalled last month after reports of battery fires, Samsung has announced the total cost of pulling the device off the market will be at least $5.4bn.

The company had already lowered its third-quarter profit guidance by $2.3bn, but it is now expected to take an additional hit of $3bn.

Meanwhile, hotly anticipated sales figures of rival device, the iPhone 7, are set to be released on 25th October.

Amazon launches new competitor to Spotify and Apple Music

Amazon Music Unlimited is the latest player in the music streaming market.

Set to initially launch in the US, it will cost $9.99 per month – the same as Spotify.

However, Amazon Prime customers will be able to subscribe for $7.99, while owners of the Amazon Echo can get the service for just $3.99.

The only catch with the Amazon Echo deal is that users can only stream using this device.

Snapchat sets its sights on UK advertisers

Claire Valoti, GM of Snap Inc. in the UK has emphasised the platform's potential for mobile ads, suggesting that the popularity of brand lenses means that "people are playing with advertising".

A few months ago, Snapchat announced the roll out of an API - an interface that will allow third-party partners to programmatically trade snap ads.

Though it is not yet clear whether any programs are underway in the UK, it marks a significant development in the relationship between Snapchat and agencies.

A lack of investment from advertisers has so far been put down to a lack of data and inconsistency in branded content guidelines.

Instagram app is now available for Windows 10

An official Instagram app for Windows 10 has just been released.

Following on from the launch of the app for mobile in April, Windows 10 users can now access the social network on desktop PCs and tablets.

However, despite the inclusion of regular features like Instagram Stories, Explore and direct messaging, the app won't work on devices without a touchscreen or rear-facing camera.

But hey, they can still thank themselves lucky - there's still no sign of an app for iPads.

Today, Windows 10 tablets get the entire Instagram experience — including Instagram Stories. https://t.co/6h4WahK6Iu pic.twitter.com/tMh2h5drxJ

Visits to holiday rental sites double

According to new data from Hitwise, there has been a 112% increase in visits to holiday rental sites such as Airbnb and Homeaway.

Based on the behaviour of 3m online consumers, the findings show that while the majority of visits to hotel aggregators come from search engines, a high proportion of visits to holiday rental sites originate on social media channels.

The research also found a difference in search terms - the majority of hotel searches were related to "cheap" and "deal", however, the biggest keywords for holiday rental searches were "hot tubs" or "villas".

This shows how consumers desire a more tailored approach to holiday-booking rather than one based on price.

Hasbro and Lego lead ecommerce race in run up to Christmas

Research from global ecommerce analytics firm Profitero has found that Hasbro is currently the leading brand in the Amazon UK best-selling toys and games category.

The brand now has seven products in the top 100, meaning it has just edged out Lego.

Despite winning in the UK last year, Lego is currently in a strong position in the equivalent US list, with a total of 11 products featured in the top 100.

48% of millennials used a smartphone to plan travel in the past year

From a study of 2,000 people, Signal has found that consumers are becoming increasingly digital when it comes to booking travel - with millennials in particular driving this change.

The study found that 42% of people now use their smartphones for booking both airline tickets and hotel rooms more frequently than they did a year ago.

In comparison, booking via desktop has increased just 15%.

Further to this, personalisation is becoming more important to young people.

48% of millennials planned a trip with their smartphone during the past year, with 29% of this age demographic desiring a booking experience that is customised to their needs and preferences.

Mobile ad spend overtakes PC for the first time

A new report from PwC and IAB has found that spend on digital advertising increased 16.4% in the first half of 2016.

Reaching £4.78bn, it saw the highest growth rate in two years.

The report also shows that the amount companies spent on mobile display ads overtook that of PC and tablet display for the first time ever.

This reflects the rapid growth of time spent on smartphones, as this June saw UK adults reportedly spent 46% of their internet time on a mobile compared to 41% on a desktop or laptop.

The demographic that spends more time of their smartphones than anyone is women aged between 18 to 24.

66% of consumers shop cross-border

The third annual Global Online Shopping Survey from Pitney Bowes has revealed that cross-border shopping is now more popular with consumers.

The survey found that, as well as 94% of consumers making a domestic online purchase in the past year, 66% of them have also purchased online from another country.

Out of the countries with the highest number of cross-border shoppers, Singapore and Australia top the list, with 89% and 86% of consumers regularly shopping elsewhere.

Regardless of country, the survey also shows that approximately half of consumers say that most of their internet-based shopping is done through an online marketplace.

Disney is among the top US Halloween searches of 2016

Hitwise, a division of Connexity, suggests that Disney is having a big influence in this year's US online Halloween trends.

"Disney Moana" is the most popular overall search term so far, as well as "Belle", "Beast" and "Ariels" all showing increased interest from 2015.

Alongside this, Hitwise has also noted the emergence of a trend for beard-related search terms.

Mentions of the word "beard" or "beards" in costume searches are up 18% YoY, while searches for "Halloween costume for guys with beards" are four times greater than in 2015.

American consumers never plan to spend full price at Christmas

According to Accenture, 44% of US consumers plan to spend more than they did last Christmas.

But despite this, 42% say they rarely or never expect to pay full price for gifts.

Based on an online poll of 1,500 consumers, the Accenture Holiday Shopping Survey found that 67% of consumers plan to shop around from different retailers in order to get the lowest price.

Moreoever, 72% would shop with a retailer they haven't used in the last year if they are offered a promotion or discount.

Despite this, consumers are now becoming more open to share personal information, with 54% saying they would be willing to do so for an offer or discount in return.

60% of influencers assess a brand's reputation before working with them

Econsultancy's Voice of the Influencer report, in association with Fashion & Beauty Monitor, has found that influencers are now taking more control when it comes to working with brands.

From an online survey of a select number of influencers, 60% said that they always consider a brand's heritage and reputation before entering into a working relationship.

Second to this, 56% also said that a brand's ethos and values are critical factors to consider.

This demonstrates the shift of power within influencer marketing, with online personalities now calling the shots over big name brands.

Southern Rail fail results in Twitter storm

British commuters were left frustrated again this week, with many taking to social media to vent their frustration at the latest strike action from Southern Rail employees.

According to data from Spredfast, 10,000 tweets were sent in a single day on Tuesday – the first day of the official RMT walkout.

The hashtag #southernfail was used in over 2,000 tweets, seeing a particular spike at around 8:30am during the delayed commute to work.

Overall, 96% of Twitter activity showed no positivity at all, with very few tweets in support of RMT.

Use of everyday mobile payments triples

In a poll of 36,800 online consumers across Europe, Visa has found that 54% of consumers now use a mobile device to make everyday payments – this is compared to just 18% in the same survey last year.

In the UK, 74% of consumers regularly use their mobile device to manage their money or make a payment in person, online or in an app.

Furthermore, 59% also use their mobile devices to transfer money to friends and family, while 45% use them to buy takeaway meals.

Overall, the report shows that consumers are becomingly equally confident in making both large and small purchases using their mobile.

Aiming to shed the antiquated image of the old 'Avon Lady', it is not only targeting consumers of the make-up brand, but a new generation of potential reps.

Here's a closer look at the campaign as well as why it could be make or break for the brand.

A focus on recruitment rather than sales

While most beauty brands use marketing to increase product sales, Avon is using its new campaign to highlight its direct-sales model and to drive recruitment for the company.

The campaign is centred around an advert set to the Gloria Gaynor hit, 'I Will Survive'.

However, this time, the song has been re-worked to fit the theme of entrepreneurial freedom and flexibility.

Highlighting the positive results of stepping away from a dull office role into life as an Avon representative, the chorus is replaced with the lyrics: "I'm a boss".

While the ad comes across as slightly cheesy, it does succeed in getting the message across.

With sales of Avon products rapidly declining from 2007 to 2014 (see below graph), its first major campaign since being sold to private equity firm Cerberus needed to be bold.

What's more, it needed to shake off the idea that being an Avon lady is old fashioned or a role reserved for middle class suburbia.

With the rise of the contingent workforce, as well as brands like Uber and Airbnb capitalising on the 'experience-hungry' consumer, it is hoping to follow suit and target a younger generation with a greater desire for flexible work.

Using mobile-optimised video

So, we can see who Avon is trying to target, but how exactly is the brand doing it?

Alongside traditional broadcast, print, radio and digital efforts, the campaign is heavily focused on mobile, with video ads being optimised for smartphones and used for pre-roll advertising.

This appears to be a deliberate attempt to target fans of beauty bloggers and vloggers.

With 46% of video now being consumed on mobile, Avon is hoping to engage with consumers using the social channels they feel most comfortable on.

The campaign will further roll out in the coming months, with dedicated Snapchat filters and other digital components.

That being said, Avon is keen to show that it's not only going after millennials.

Further to the main ad, the campaign also includes promotional videos featuring real-life Avon representatives, including a mother, student and even a couple that has made their living from the brand.

Will it reinvent the brand?

While Avon's latest campaign marks a new narrative for the brand, it remains to be seen whether it'll help reverse its previous fortunes.

After all, its decline wasn't only down to a lack of new recruits.

A lack of digital innovation has often been cited as one of the biggest factors, with both its ecommerce site and software to help reps move online failing to take off.

With competitors like Birchbox and Sephora putting digital at the very heart of their business models, it's no surprise that Avon struggled to keep pace.

Now hoping to strike a balance between direct-sales and ecommerce, its new campaign is definitely a step in the right direction.

Whether or not consumers will be more receptive than before remains to be seen.

In an attempt to address that challenge, a number of upstart brokerages are rethinking how their services function and how they charge for them.

For example, Robinhood is a brokerage firm that has a unique proposition: _ts customers can trade only through the company's smartphone app, which is far more simple than those offered by many brokerages.

The firm, which has raised over $60m in funding from investors, says that 80% of its users are millennials and the average age of its customers is 28.

Not surprisingly, many of Robinhood's customers reportedly have smaller accounts, but the company is betting that as they increase their earnings and funnel more of their money into stock market investments, the loyalty it has built will pay off.

Another startup broker, Divy, aims to attract millennials by adding a social layer to investing and allows its customers to buy fractional shares of company stock with friends and family in increments of as little as $10.

"Investing in very small increments, while looking at what your friends and colleagues are doing, helps you think about the markets much more broadly," the company's founder, Marc Teren, told Barron's.

Applying familiar business models

Some brokers are rethinking their business models, going so far as to apply business models from other industries.

For example, last month, Motif, a Silicon Valley-based brokerage startup that bills itself as a "next-generation online broker," launched a subscription-based trading service called Motif BLUE.

According to Hardeep Walia, Motif's founder and CEO:

Today's subscription-based economy means more affordable, customizable services. We don't think that investing should be an exception, and that's why we've set out to create the Amazon Prime of our industry.

Motif BLUE allows customers to trade as frequently as they like without racking up transaction fees.

Like many subscription services, Motif BLUE has multiple subscription tiers that offer different features and costs, and a one-month free trial is available.

All tiers allow customers to create investment models, configure recurring investments and rebalance their portfolios without management fees.

Motif says that its BLUE subscription offering "marks a shift toward business model innovation" whereas previously the company was "focused on product innovation."

That's an important point for financial services firms that are attempting to court younger investors.

While these firms can update their services and create new ones that are designed to appeal to their young customers, how those customers pay for those services is arguably just as crucial.

This is because young consumers are often more comfortable with business models that are not as common in financial services.

With BLUE, Motif can potentially lure customers who like the idea of all-you-can-eat trading for a flat monthly subscription fee.

And millennial-focused Robinhood doesn't charge its customers transaction fees at all.

It relies on other sources of revenue, such as interest from margin accounts, to cover the trading costs other brokerages charge their customers.

Will it work?

There's evidence that all of this is working. For instance, since its launch Robinhood has attracted over 1m customers.

But the real question for brokerage firms that are rethinking how their services are structured and sold is whether millenials will stick with them as they grow up and their needs change.

There's a danger they will graduate to more traditional brokers that might not meet their needs today but will tomorrow.

I've grown up thinking that "air conditioning" is synonymous with "the thing that makes air colder." If I have the temperature set to a cooler temp, but turn the A/C off, what happens? If I have the temperature set to a hotter temp, but turn the A/C on, what happens? Thanks!

Brewers' Hellweg earns first major-league victory
Chicago — The second time around turned out much better for Johnny Hellweg.
Taking advantage of another shot in the Milwaukee Brewers' rotation, the rookie right-hander pitched as if he belonged Saturday afternoon at Wrigley Field.
Hellweg induced 11 ground-ball outs in six innings, and Logan Schafer provided most of the offense with a three-RBI triple in the fourth inning as the Brewers held on to beat the Cubs, 5-3.
The performance earned Hellweg his first major-league victory just days after he was named the Brewers' minor-league pitcher of the year and figures to send him into his next start with a much-needed boost of confidence.
"It feels awesome," said Hellweg, who improved to 1-3 while also dropping his earned-run average more than two full runs to 8.64.
"It's a good feeling going into my next start. Feels good to go out there and put up six innings and give the team a chance to win."
Similar to his previous three starts for the Brewers, Hellweg appeared to be pitching tentatively at the start.
He hit the second batter of the game, Darwin Barney, and gave up a single to Anthony Rizzo to follow but didn't allow the Cubs to score.
Hellweg walked Brian Bogusevic to open the bottom of the second and then hung a curveball that Luis Valbuena served into the bleachers in right for a 2-0 Chicago lead.
After giving up a one-out single to Cubs starter Jake Arrieta, Hellweg stood at 31 pitches and got a visit at the mound from catcher Jonathan Lucroy.
Hellweg got Starlin Castro to ground into an inning-ending 6-4-3 double play on the very next pitch.
What did Lucroy say?
"I told him, 'Let's go. You've got good stuff. Trust it. Get on top of the baseball. Let your sinker work for you,'" Lucroy recounted. "He's got a good sinker, about 94-95. That's going to blow right-handed hitters up. I just went out there and motivated him a little bit."
From that point, Hellweg retired nine of the next 11 batters he faced, and seven of those via groundout — his calling card.
"When I was working down in zone, they were hitting it on the ground and I was getting some ground-ball outs," said Hellweg. "I know they rolled over on a couple changeups as well. The ground-ball was huge for me today."
In the meantime, he was staked to a 4-2 lead thanks to a four-run fourth inning.
Scooter Gennett drove in the first run with a single, and Schafer, starting in center field so Carlos Gomez could rest his knee, provided the big blow with a bases-loaded triple into the gap in right-center.
"He really didn't have anywhere to put me," said Schafer. "A 2-0 count I was basically dead red, put a good swing on something and stayed within myself. It was really nice to feel the barrel of the bat and run around those bases."
Hellweg made one more mistake in his final inning, giving up a two-out, solo homer to Bogusevic before closing out the sixth.
"I think he's a guy that has to get into a rhythm and start feeling good, and then he starts pumping," Lucroy said. "He got into a rhythm after the first couple innings, and we started working together well."
Hellweg's day ended a career-high six innings and 99 pitches. He allowed four hits, three earned runs and three walks to go along with a strikeout in notching his first quality start.
"That was good to see," said Brewers manager Ron Roenicke.
"I wasn't sure because he came out in the first inning and was. ... a little different. But as the innings went on, his stuff got better, location got better. I thought he pitched more with his changeup and breaking ball. Hopefully this is the guy we're going to see."
Aside from that fourth inning, the Brewers struggled all afternoon with men on base. They got two on in the seventh and loaded the bases in the eighth but failed to pad their lead.
Lucroy finally delivered some insurance with a two-out triple to right-center in the ninth that scored Norichika Aoki from first.
Rob Wooten pitched a scoreless seventh and Brandon Kintzler a scoreless eighth, highlighted by an unassisted, inning-ending double play at first base by Yuniesky Betancourt.
Jim Henderson rebounded from a couple of tough outings to close the game out and record his 23rd save. Gomez, inserted into the game in the eighth inning, made a diving catch to rob Valbuena for the final out.

ODA : CDROMs and VMs
By Dragonfly-Oracle on Jun 02, 2016
Not surprisingly, in most cases the error message gives no clue to what the issue may be, leaving a customer scratching their head, or placing a call to their friendly neighborhood Oracle support line. As it turns out, this is pretty easy to fix. The cause of this issue is a left over reference to a non-existent CDROM device, usually pointing to a non-existent file. Below is an example of a vm.cfg file, from which I will highlight the CDROM in question.
Looking at the "disk =" section, the second entry, beginning with ",u',xvdc:" references a "cdrom" file in read-only mode. This entry is a left over pointer from wherever the imported VM was created. Since the "cdrom" file doesn't exist, this causes an error trying to start the VM. Sometimes you actually get an error message about a device needing to support block access, but other times the VM just won't start. The fix is to remove that entry from the vm.cfg file, as shown in the following before and after.
Once the change has been made to the vm.cfg file, the VM should now start. But wait, you say, how do I find the vm.cfg file in the first place? Good question. By running the 'oakcli show vm

A group of black students at Emory are demanding that students be asked to report their professors' "microaggressions" in course evaluations, reports the Emory Wheel. If the demands are met, students also would be asked: "Do you think that this professor fits into the vision of Emory University being a community of care for individuals of all racial, gender, ability, and class identities?"
Students' responses "would help to ensure that there are repercussions or sanctions for racist actions performed by professors."
(Emory is a "community of care" for people of all abilities? I thought it was a selective university for high-ability students.)
"A microaggression can be unintentional," writes the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education's Catherine Sevcenko. "Students don't agree on what constitutes a microaggression. Under these conditions, "university-level teaching would simply be impossible."
Surveying students is a lousy way to evaluate professors' teaching, according to two new studies, reports NPR.
Student rating often are "the only method a university uses to monitor the quality of teaching," writes Anya Kamenetz.
Fewer than half of students complete the survey form, according to An Evaluation of Course Evaluations. Very happy or very unhappy students are more likely to respond, says Philip Stark, a Berkeley statistics prof.
When results are averaged, the professor with lots of very high and very low ratings looks like the one that everyone rates "satisfactory."
Michele Pellizzari, an economics professor at the University of Geneva in Switzerland, believes "course evaluations may … measure, and thus motivate, the opposite of good teaching," writes Kamenetz.
In an experiment in Milan, Pellizzari measured economics students' cognitive skills, then evaluated their professors' teaching ability by how well students did in the next course in the sequence.
The better the professors were, as measured by their students' grades in later classes, the lower their ratings from students.
Most students appeared to dislike tougher teachers, even if the hard work paid off in the next class. However, classes with highly skilled students gave high marks to highly skilled teachers, the study found.
"An easy-A prof may earn five stars in return for handing out good grades," writes Kamenetz. But research suggest leniency "does the students no long-term favors."

Sturdy maple wood spatula for basic cooking tasks. Each is handmade in a small Indiana workshop from locally-sourced wood. Part of our Maple Wood Kitchen Utensil Set. (
Use this sturdy maple wood spatula to sauté vegetables, serve up lasagna, or any other basic cooking task. Each spatula is handmade in a small Indiana wood workshop from locally-sourced maple wood. The closed grain of the maple wood means that the spatula will not absorb any flavors or bacteria during use. To make the tool, a pattern is drawn on a block of wood, and then the tool is carved out, shaped, and buffed in a series of steps.
Hand wash and dry your spatula. Be sure to wash it directly after cooking with vegetable oil, as it can make the utensil sticky. If desired, you may buff the wood with a fine 400-grit sandpaper, and condition with mineral oil.
In the early 1970s, John Whetstone felt called to become a woodworker. At the time, he was employed as in the delivery department of a natural gas service, and noticed an unused band saw on the porch of one of the homes on his delivery route. He offered to buy it, and then began teaching himself woodworking skills, and acquiring more equipment. Shortly after, he became a full-time, all purpose woodworker, and was producing furniture, among other things. In the early 1990s, Whetstone answered a classified advertisement calling for a producer of wooden kitchen tools, and Whetstone Woodenware was born.
Whetstone has been steadily making wooden kitchen tools for the past two decades, and now has 12 skilled artisans working with him. "It's great to be making a product that is enduring," says Whetstone. "People come up to me who have been using the same spoon for over 25 years, and it's just pleasing to make something that becomes a part of people's lives."

Named for their spikes that give them a crown-like appearance, coronaviruses cause respiratory illness and digestive upset in pets ranging from mild to life-threatening. Most coronaviruses are species specific, so cats, dogs and humans don't usually catch one another's viruses. Your pet may have coronavirus without you knowing, as symptoms can be absent or cause isolated bouts of sickness. However, once your pet shows symptoms, the virus can turn serious or deadly quickly; consult your veterinarian instead of attempting to treat the disease yourself.
Signs of Danger
Symptoms of coronavirus infection in dogs, cats and humans include vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, coughing and sneezing. Cats and humans usually run a fever with a coronavirus where dogs usually do not. The SARS coronavirus -- short for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome -- is transmissible between all three species as well as rodents and primates. Canine coronavirus can lead to death in puppies through dehydration or bloody diarrhea. Feline Infectious Peritonitis is especially aggressive with a high death rate. Immunizations are available from your veterinarian to help prevent the virus, but they generally are more effective for dogs than cats. Quick veterinary care is crucial to give your pet optimal chance of recovery.

There is a "submit" button underneath it.
2) When the user clicks "submit" a notice appears (not as a pop-up, but inline) that says "This user typed more characters than X% of users" (more on X below).
3) X is going to be the cumulative density function of the normal distribution, calculated using this open source library:

Skip to comments.David Mamet's Coming Out Party
Posted on 05/28/2011 1:53:45 PM PDT by annalex
Mr. Mamet has written a book-length, raucous coming-out party: "The Secret Knowledge: On the Dismantling of American Culture." (If only the Voice editors had been around to supply a snappier title.)
Hear him take on the left's sacred cows. Diversity is a "commodity." College is nothing more than "Socialist Camp." Liberalism is like roulette addiction. Toyota's Prius, he tells me, is an "anti-chick magnet" and "ugly as a dogcatcher's butt." Hollywood liberalshis former crowdonce embraced Communism "because they hadn't invented Pilates yet." Oh, and good radio isn't NPR ("National Palestinian Radio") but Dennis Prager, Michael Medved and Hugh Hewitt.
The book is blunt, at times funny, and often over the top.
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
... and then see what happened.
For those who don't know, David Mamet is a talented and accomplished playwrite and film director. Among his works are Glengarry Glen Ross, Wag the Dog, The Spanish Prisoner, and others you'll probably recognize.
My new tagline!!!
Some funny lines in those excerpts. Good stuff to put on the back
cover side of the book as a teaser.
So the author maintains that:
1) Mamet believes that Prager, Medved, and Hewitt presently comprise "good radio" for a guy who lives in LA. (I guess he streams his amateur radio?)
2) Orson had no idea about the 180 Rule prior to Citizen Kane.
Both of these assertions are completely unbelievable.
Funny, I'm reading this book right now. A little strange in its pace, but I guess that's to be expected from a playwrite.
"Put down that coffee! Coffee is for closers!"
The book doesn't come out until June 2nd. Do you know a guy who knows a guy? Did it fall off the back of a truck? I'm patiently waiting for its release.
I couldn't help it. I've always admired David Mamet's work.
He is perhaps the most accomplished and versatile in his field(s) since Orson Welles.
And I am so gratified that he literally thought his way through all of this -- even as he was surrounded and adored by the liberal glitterati.
Thanks for posting.
Consider this idea - what often lies at the root of the con is the love of the exercise of power. With all that implies. It stops being about money, about greed after a while.
I'm a big fan of Mamet's work, especially Glengarry Glen Ross and Oleanna. If you watch those films, its really hard to believe that the person who wrote them was ever a liberal. He probably had conservative leanings his whole life, but didn't really know it. Given this, Mamet's "conversion" is no surprise.
House of Games is a great, underrated movie.
Why unbelievable?
Each character speaks as if his lines were a monologue and any connection to the other chaacter's monologue is one of either after-thought or subtle surprise.
IOW...in much of his work his characters do not interact but operate separately in the same space and often with thought processes that intersect (not interact).
Don't forget Spartan with Val Kilmer.
That was the turning point for him after he befriended the founder of DELTA FORCE and Val Kilmer's character was based on him.
After that, he co-produced THE UNIT on CBS. A buddy of mine here in L.A. who worked on the Unit on the 2nd unit/camera spoke to him numerous times and he's NOT an idiot.
"For those who don't know, David Mamet is a talented and accomplished playwrite and film director."
Indeed! However — and this is a nitpicky point — the word is actually "playwright." This implies that a play is wrought, made, or constructed. However, the act of writing a play is still "playwriting."
"Most were given to him by his rabbi in L.A., Mordecai Finley."
Hey, that's me! Just kidding. The funny part is that Rabbi Finley was my favorite Rabbi while I attended the largest, Reform (mega-liberal, entertainment industry) synagogue in Los Angeles.
There are a few politically conservative Rabbis in this town whose identities will be kept secret to protect their livelihood.
(Yes, Finley is an Irish name, and he had an Irish shock of red hair, when I knew him 17 years ago.)
I too am looking forward to the book.
And Aled Baldwin really wasn't acting when he ripped into the sales team in his cameo scene......
The same can be said of the fim "The Edge" starring Anthony Hopkins and Alex Baldwin, screenplay David Mamet.
Yes. Which is paradoxical. When a farmer plows a field he has exercized more power than any of us accomplishes on a treadmill. But it is not the power a con man craves. What he wants is the power to thwart justice: sin without judgement.
I never questioned my tribal assumption that Capitalism was bad, he writes now, although I, simultaneously, never acted upon these feelings. He was always happy to cash a royalty check and made sure to insist on a licensing fee. I supported myself, as do all those not on the government dole, through the operation of the Free Market.
He saw he was Talking Left and Living Right, a condition common among American liberals, particularly the wealthy among them, who can, for instance, want to impose diversity requirements on private companies while living in monochromatic neighborhoods, or vote against school vouchers while sending their kids to prep school, or shelter their income while advocating higher tax rates. The widening gap between liberal politics and liberal life became real to him when, paradoxically enough, he decided at last to write a political play, or rather a play about politics. It was the first time he thought about partisan politics for any sustained period.
The Powerline guys have written some good stuff about Mamet's conversion:
BTW, how is it that a mega-liberal congregation accepted such a conservative rabbi? I'm amazed they tolerated him.
I watch this clip at least once a month, and have for years.
True enough. As I've pointed out in my essay, Killers Without Conscience, The power to harm others and to harm others without consequence - is irresistible to a profoundly evil subset of humanity.
Because anyone with ANY experience in film whatsoever - much less an Orson - knows about the line of action. Just as anyone knows that Prager, Medved, and Hewitt (if any of them are on in LA, which I doubt) have only one thing in common, which is that they are third-rate bookends for more talented, famous, and successful hosts.
Anyone who saw "Oleanna" or his latest, the hilarious play "November" starring Nathan Lane, knew that this man was NO LIBERAL. He's been conservative for years - mostly because of Israel but, now, maybe because of American cultural values. Good playwright!
I love House of Games - so intricate! Also, he adapted the Winslow Boy and did a great job with it. Excellent movie.
He's a very difficult essayist. He can be a very dificult playwright (try Cryptogram!!!)
My favorite essays of his are contained in "The Cabin." His childhood - a middle class upbringing - was painfully cruel. His parents were psychos!
I'm sure they are on in L.A. - they're here in NYC where I sometimes listen to them. They're not my favorites but they can be very interesting at times. After so many years with NPR, maybe Mamet prefers the quieter conservatives (as opposed to Mark Levin, lol!)
Can you explain the line of action? I'm not in film so I'm lost here. Thanks!
Wikipedia has a decent article on it, with a diagram.
Actually, yes. Since I'm a Sentinel author, I received an advance copy :)
Good essay. See a post coming up there.
This is Ed Asner's temple, that's how liberal it is. There are more liberal ones in West LA and Santa Monica. This one is in Bel Air.
The answer to your question is that Rabbi Finley doesn't do what the liberal rabbis do. While they confuse Judaism with socialism and the green movement, and denigrate Republicans, Rabbi Finley (gasp) teaches Judaism. Judaism is inherently compatible with conservative values, which makes sense considering the Torah is a book of laws, and is the basis of modern jurisprudence.
That's why it drives me crazy, as it must with Catholics too, that our congregants and clergy have turned so far left-wing, and subjects the whole religion to scorn by conservatives who think "Jew = Socialist".
I get that frustration and I feel it too. I have never felt more removed from my religion than I do now.
There are many theories why Jews tend to be very liberal and the subject has been covered well by Dennis Prager and Irving Kristol but it comes down to this:
1. Most Jews immigrated from Europe, where they were subjected to second class status and church-sanctioned harassment. The seeds of collectivism were quite strong by the time they emigrated to America.
2.Because of this history, Jews are susceptible to group think, regardless of their education or native intelligence. (Look at all the wealthy and famous Jews who were taken by that Democrat fund raiser, Bernie Madoff)
3. Jews were also discriminated in America, as were other ethnic groups, and became very involved in organized labor. If the Democrats welcomed them into the party, they became the recipients of Jewish loyalty, even though some of the most vile, antisemitic sentiment came from the left-wing, IE Father Coughlin.
Jonathan Shite is one of the stupidest liberal guilt yuppies writers I've ever had the misfortune to read.
Well, whatever works. Nationalism is a healthy instinct, Jewish or otherwise. I wish more Americans developed American nationalism though.
Exactly — he teaches Judaism to a bunch of liberals. How does he pull that off? It would be like a priest teaching evangelicalism to a liberal Catholic congregation. Somehow he is making it palatable to them, which strikes me as quite a feat. And it's not like he's hiding anything...he was open about planning to vote for Bush a couple of elections ago (according to Mamet). He must have an amazing knack for teaching and for diplomacy or tact or something.
I definitely understand that the tendency towards liberalism in Jews is mostly a response to their history. Hopefully that will change as they build up a new history here but I suspect it will be a very slow process.
Very motivating (or depressing). Thanks
how was the movie?
Decent. Worthwhile. It's tough to go wrong with that cast.
