VidzBigger: A Video-Focused Alternative To The Regular YouTube Experience [Chrome]
VidzBigger, a Chrome extension, automatically scales YouTube videos to the largest possible size, and lets you read comments and scroll through Suggestions without losing focus from the video. With it, you can get a two or three column layout, change video quality, disable auto play, video ads and confirmations. In addition to that, you can set the number of comments to be shown, and enable HQ/HD videos upon loading. Once the extension is installed, everything on the page is rearranged and the video is aligned to the right side, so you can scroll the page to view suggested videos or comments while you watch the video. Preferences are divided into multiple categories, such as Instant Layout, Qualities, VidzLoops etc. Each category consists of multiple features and options that can be enabled or disabled, according to your preference. More after the jump.
After you've installed the extension, videos from websites like YouTube will automatically load to the largest possible size. When you scroll up on a video, a panel on the right will slide open showing all comments and related videos. You will be able to use the scroll wheel to switch between different modes. For instance, you can either watch the video in full-screen in a video-only layout, or you can watch the video and read comments at the same time.
As you scroll down, you will also be able to view all videos in the Suggestions category. Scrolling down the comments or suggested videos has no effect on the video, as it has a fixed position. Comments will open in their respective part of the panel but you will still have to use the numbered buttons at the end to view more of them. The extension does not allow you to view all comments on a single page.
Clicking the button in the toolbar lets you access loads of features in the Preferences menu, which you can toggle. The options are divided into different categories, which are Instant Layout, Display, Unsupported Qualities, VidzLoops and Privacy. The Instant layout lets you enable options like Auto Scroll Past Header (bigger video on load) and Snap fullscreen at scroll max. The Display category allows you to enable Keep video on Screen, Prevent Video Autoplay, Enable on User Channel Pages and many other options, whereas the Unsupported category lets you Disable Annotations and other similar options. Additionally, you can disable in-video ads, select different video qualities and enable the Allow Share view statistics option.
VidzBigger can be used to completely customize YouTube according to your needs. All the YouTube addicts out there will definitely love this extension.

Optimal Management of Multi-Purpose Reservoirs in a Hydro-Thermal Power Systemby Ramaiah Divi, SaskPower, Canada,
Dan Ruiu, SaskPower, Canada,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Computerized Decision Support Systems for Water Managers
Proper management of multi-purpose hydro systems requires to take into account the largely stochastic nature of water inflows, electric loads, and water demands, as well as the often conflicting objectives of different water users. The paper outlines an integrated approach used to solve this problem. It consists of dividing the problem into several sub-problems, each covering different planning horizons. A set of computer programs was developed to solve the sub-problems. These programs, and the computational experience obtained with them, are briefly reviewed.

Adly and Temur Lead 2017 Australian OpenTuesday, January 10, 2017
Egyptian Grandmaster Ahmed Adly lived up to his top seed billing when he beat tournament leader Australian Grandmaster Max Illingworth in their ninth round encounter at the 2017 Australian Open being held at Churchie in Brisbane.
Adly has now won his last four games, and with just two more rounds to go, shares the lead on 7.5/9 together with Uzbekistan International Master Temur Koybokarov.
The 16-year-old Temur won his ninth round game against Junta Ikeda.
Illingworth and Azerbaijan International Master Izzat Kanan are now on 7/9, just half a point behind the two leaders.
Grandmaster Sergey Kasparov decided not to risk upsetting his wife International Woman Master Tatiana Kasparova in an all Belarus family affair and made a quick draw, a result that however has left him a little off the pace on 6/9.
Perhaps key to deciding the tournament winner could be the round ten games Kuybokarov-Adly and Izzat-Illingworth.

When MoS Washington came to visit a couple of weekends ago, we knew we had to budget some time to spend at the Sleepy Poet. For some reason, whenever I go to the Sleepy Poet, I always find myself rushed to make it through to see everything. This time we vowed and declared that we would spend as long as we wanted, but once again, that didn't happen. There is just so much to see! And no matter how frequently I go, there are always new and exciting finds. As MoS Washington mentioned yesterday, we spent a considerable amount of time in the vintage clothing section. It was my first time to look at the clothes, and wow, it is amazing. I have a feeling that vintage shops in places like New York would add a "0" or two to every pricetag. Oscar de la Renta in perfect condition for $65. Gorgeous dresses from Montaldos, one of my mom's favorite dress shops (and I vaguely remember it from when I was a little girl) for under $100.
Here are some of our favorites from our second trip to the Sleepy Poet.
Gorgeous black and gold sofa table and two end tables with chinoiserie legs. I believe the set of all three was around $275.
We went wild over the lines of this mirror. It was huge and a great buy- around $175 if I remember correctly.
And we aren't the only ones who like it- it's the same mirror Massuco Warner Miller used in this fab powder room! Someone should go snatch it up!
This little display of vintage silver trophies caught MoS Washington's eye. We posted about collecting silver trophies here.
More silver trophies...
How perfect is this little gold faux bamboo end table/ bar cart from Bamboo? It is exactly what MoS Washington has been searching for... If only it was easier to transport furniture from Charlotte to Washington! (and the price is great- around $100 or so).
I scored this gold tole wheat sconce. Now I am on the hunt to find its mate... If you see one let me know!
Aren't these gold tole and crystal lamps set on marble bases so very Mad Men? I think they were around $250 for the pair.
The gold Greek key pattern on this double-decker end table is so unique! We'd put it in a corner and use it as a bar table.
Vintage gold glasses are becoming another one of our obsessions. Look for a blog post on them coming soon! This set of 6 is $66- not bad!
Don't disregard this fab shell mirror just because it's hanging on a lonely piece of plywood. If MoS Washington and I didn't already have them, this would have definitely come home with one of us. The price was $25 to boot!
Although MoS Washington and I see eye-to-eye on most everything, this little lamp is where our paths part ways. She loved this deer hoof lamp. I did not. She has thicker skin (ha) than I do when it comes to taxidermy. However, we both agreed that the koala skin we saw later on was nothing short of cruel. We didn't take a picture of the koala.
Alabaster horse heads look so chic on a bookshelf!
We both went nuts over this painting. Admittedly, neither of us knows much about art or art history, but we both thought this is the cat's meow. We think Lindsey Coral Harper would love it too!
The Sleepy Poet is such a good place to find unique things you never knew you needed. Like a wrought iron horse head newel post. You can see it in the corner of this picture. It is amazing, and I wish I had a place for it. If you are in the market for a newel post or hitching post, you should grab this one up! It is large and heavy and really nice!
One booth had nothing but vintage playbills. Wouldn't these be so cool to frame and group on the wall?
Or how about a collection of vintage school pendants? I have a couple from Davidson that I've never known quite how to use in my home. MoS Washington said that Camp Greystone has a huge collection of pendants, grouped together in frames. What a unique idea and way to incorporate some prep school or college pride in a chic way!
And last but not least, our trip to the vintage clothing section, where we spent hours pretending like we were Betty Draper.
MoS Washington browses the racks wearing a floor length colorful caftan.
A few caftans, vintage Lilly polos, and bathing suits later, we realized we were barely going to make it to the airport in time for MoS Washington's flight! That would have been just fine with me!

Construction of a Ski Jump Arena with Viewing Platform
Oslo, NOR
Oslo, Departement of Sport
Architects Collective ZT-GmbH
structural consultant
Bollinger, Grohmann & Schneider ZT-GmbH
floor area
2.000 m²
construction costs
€ 28.000.000
50.000 people
The design for the new ski jump Holmenkollbakken combines two independent functions: an arena and a viewing platform, in one building. The form consists of two towers that connect to each other at their ends. The asymmetry of the building structure is reflected as a "skin and bones" structural relationship between both sides. The tower head is turned south towards the Oslo Fjord in order to create views as well as to emphasize the dual programs of the building. The north side, which faces the primary wind direction, is made from reinforced concrete. The south side is structured from steel profiles that are covered with expanded metal, which creates an ambiguous surface that alternates between transparency and consistency. Arising from the surrounding topography, the starting tower, adjacent building, and the wave-shaped side walls and seating form the ski arena.

Students in Barbara Mitchell's advanced Spanish course participated in a video conference November 16 with education professor Ángel Hernández and his students from the University of Cantabria. This Spanish university is located in Santander, a city in northern Spain.
Mitchell and Hernández organized the conference around four themes – comparing the educational systems in the United States and Spain, student life at the respective universities, popular slang expressions in English and Spanish and a discussion of cultural stereotypes.
The students from both sides of the Atlantic learned a lot about their similarities, but also their differences. For example, PSU students were surprised to learn that higher education is very affordable in Spain and that students are not often required to buy books for their courses or even attend classes. The Spanish students were surprised to find out that many PSU students live on campus. There are no fraternities and sororities at the University of Cantabria as most Spanish students live at home with their parents. It is also uncommon for Spanish students to work while they are going to school.

Sounders fan Xander Bailey took part in a training session with the Sounders today, with the help of the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Bailey, who is from the Pennsylvania and West Virginia area, said he adopted the Sounders as his favorite club some seasons ago, partly because of their rave and blue colors.
"I'm very grateful for them having me here," he said. "(I'm excited) to be here and have an opportunity to play with players like this, especially Dempsey and Yedlin, players that were on the national team. It's been good. … It's pretty crazy. The level of play is way up there. Really good time up there. … Very exciting. … A wild experience."
He also said his friends are excited for him, and maybe "a little jealous."
The Sounders also seemed to enjoy the visit, too.
This from Clint Dempsey: He's a good player. He's skillful. I thought he came in and did well. It was fun for him to come out, and for us to interact with him. We look forward to tomorrow, he's going to be at the game as well. So anytime you can be a part of something like Make-A-Wish, it's pretty special.
This from coach Sigi Schmid: It was good. We had him on the orange team, so he had the benefit of being able to play with Oba and Clint. But he was the first pass in the sequence that led to Oba's first goal in that game, and I thought that was really solid. He was simple when he needed to be – that was important. Some guys always get abused in the 5v2 the first time when they're new guys because they don't realize maybe how fast the ball moves. But after that I thought he adjusted. … (He's) either attacking midfielder or winger, so we'll see.

Information Technology departments in government and business organizations across Canada have seen the number and cost of security breaches soar this year, and the fastest-growing cause of such breaches is often employees within those organizations, according to a new study released Tuesday.
The 2009 joint study on Canadian IT security practices - conducted by TELUS and the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto - surveyed more than 600 Canadian IT security professionals.
According to the study, IT security breaches - everything from viruses to intellectual property theft to abuse by employees - cost the average Canadian organization $834,149 in 2009, almost double the amount reported in last year's study. The average number of reported IT security breaches also soared to 11.3 per organization in 2009, compared to three per organization in 2008.
Walid Hejazi, a professor of business economics at the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto and co-author of the study, said he expected the number of security breaches to jump during a financial downturn, as businesses and government organizations scale back their IT budgets to save money. On average, the survey's respondents reported a 10 per cent drop in their IT security budgets.
But lower security budgets aren't the only reason breaches tend to soar during tough economic times - employees themselves can often be the cause of such problems.
"The threat environment worsens because when the economy goes into a downturn, job losses mount, and as people leave the organization many often take data with them," Mr. Hejazi said.
About 33 per cent of reported security breaches this year came from within companies, and unauthorized access by employees represented the fastest-growing threat area, according to TELUS Security Labs managing director and study co-author Alan LeFort.
Last year, about 17 per cent of Canadian organizations reported so-called "insider breaches." This year, that number has more than doubled to 36 per cent.
Of all the respondents surveyed, those in the government sector reported the biggest jump in security breach costs this year. Average annual security breach costs in the government sector more than tripled this year to $1,004,799, up from $321,429 in 2008.
Mr. LeFort said new data security standards and legislation means government agencies are doing much more data monitoring than in previous years, inevitably leading to more reports of security breaches. While threat levels have gone up during the economic downturn, he said, organizations are also getting better at catching breaches that were happening anyway.
"Organizations are better at detecting things," Mr. LeFort said. "It's not that they're less efficient at stopping things, it's actually the things that were happening before, they're better at noticing them and they have processes for reporting them, which in a way is good news."Report Typo/Error

With so numerous bow companies as well as bow versions out there several bowhunters particularly those which are new to the sport can commonly really feel quite overloaded and unclear when it concerns choosing the ideal deer fiberglass recurve bow. The what's what is that the solution to "Which deer fiberglass recurve bow is the finest?" is not black and also white. As a matter of fact nearly every bow on the marketplace today are all great deer fiberglass recurve bows because they produce enough power to kill a deer and the bottom line is that everyone is various and will certainly have different point of views about which bow is better. You need to choose the bow that finest matches you as a person. Right here are a few suggestions that will certainly aid you to choose the correct bow for you.
1. Pick An Appropriate Drawlength. This is a major factor right here. So commonly bowhunters will certainly enter an establishment to purchase a bow as well as will certainly be offered a bow that doesn't match them – implying that the drawlength of the bow is either as well long or too brief. It's crucial that you recognize or discover your drawlength prior to you acquire a bow this will certainly guarantee that you're buying deer fiberglass recurve bows that fits you.
2. Leave your Draw Weight satisfaction at Home. I view this moment and also time once again bowhunters will certainly most typically connect the draw weight of the acquiesce a much more aggressive and also efficient deer fiberglass recurve bow. The what's what is that you need to pick a bow with a draw weight you could quickly attract and manage especially in colder weather condition or it will certainly be useless to you. A 50lb bow with the ideal configuration can equally as conveniently take down a deer as a 70lb bow.
3. Try just before you Buy. This is vital to selecting a deer fiberglass recurve bow that is appropriate for you. In order to recognize how a bow really feels when shot, and how it reacts when fired you unquestionably need to fire it. Bows have different attracts, resonances, chance qualities, grasps, and several more functions you will only actually acquire a feel for as soon as you have invested some time shooting it. If you are in a situation where you are incapable to try just before you purchase (pawn shop, eBay etc) go to a bow shop as well as ask if they have the exact bow in stock or something quite comparable.
4. You acquire just what you Pay For. Much like any kind of other product in any kind of various other niche the aged adage – "You acquire exactly what you pay for" enters into play in archery also, nevertheless this similar to any sort of various other product is not constantly the situation. In archery you there are great deer fiberglass recurve bows that are overpriced because of the name related to it. This is why the last idea is so essential you could find a bow that really feels as great as or perhaps far better than one more and also could possibly be hundreds much less since of the name linked with that bow.
Here are a couple of tips to allow you to select fiberglass recurve bows on http://www.archerysupplier.com.

Your car's brakes operate through a hydraulic system, which means that they are powered through varying fluid pressure. Depressing the brake pedal pushes a piston that forces fluid through pipes to a cylinder that is placed near each wheel. The fluid fills the cylinders, which causes pistons to push out and apply the brakes to the wheel. Today's cars have anti lock brakes that include sensors and a control module to prevent a car from locking up and skidding in the event of heavy braking. Learn more about your car's brakes by having it inspected at in Versailles, KY.
ABS brakes were designed to prevent lock-ups and skids but also offer a few other benefits. Some insurance companies offer discounts for having this safety device because it has a track record of effectively preventing accidents. ABS is standard on today's vehicles. Without this system on your vehicle, you may not get the premium resale value. Although the ABS system cost does add to the overall cost of your car, it's worth the added safety and value. Talk to the technicians at Meineke #1783 in Versailles, KY for more information about ABS brakes.
If you notice any of the signs of impending brake failure, do not continue to drive your car. Common signs include a lit ABS light, clicking or grinding noises while braking or a pulsation of the pedal when braking. You should also have your brakes inspected if you notice that your car is taking longer to come to a stop or pulls to one side when braking. Other red flags include increased drag when accelerating or lack of resistance when pressing on the brake pedal. For ABS brake service and all types of brake repairs, visit Meineke #1783 in Versailles, KY.
If your ABS fails, you can find yourself in a potentially very dangerous situation. Your anti lock system is what keeps your car from skidding or hydroplaning when you brake. For this reason, it is important to pay attention to signs that your brake system is impaired. One of the most common signs of an ABS problem is difficulty in applying the brake pedal, whether it offers more resistance or less than usual when you press it down. This type of problem is frequently related to brake fluid leakage or clogs and can arise whether you use silicone brake fluid or mineral brake fluid. If you notice a difference in brake pedal resistance, get your system checked at Meineke #1783 in Versailles, KY.
The cost to repair or replace an anti-brake system, or ABS, can sometimes be concerning. The first thing to do is to bring your vehicle to the specialists at Meineke #1783 in Versailles, KY. You may only need new brake fluid or just a minor part. It might be that new brake pads are needed. Of course, there could be issues with other brake system components. Our professionals can resolve the problem and see that you're back on the road safely with a solution that is as cost-effective as possible.
Although you can certainly learn how to recognize signs that your ABS brakes need repairs, any repairs should be provided by certified technicians who can ensure your brakes are in good operating condition. Before you come into our store, take a look at our coupons and pick up some savings. If you are ever in need of brake repairs, come to the professionals at Meineke #1783 in Versailles, KY. Keep your passengers safe in every type of driving condition by maintaining your brakes.

LOS ANGELES -- The number of times the Memphis Grizzlies and Los Angeles Clippers play each other in the regular season, coupled with their two memorable playoffs encounters the past two years, makes for quite a cozy relationship, if not a volatile one.
That intimate knowledge creates interesting matchups. The teams' first regular-meeting was no exception, as the Grizzlies hung on for a 106-102 victory Monday in front of a sellout crowd of 19,060 at Staples Center.
Forward Zach Randolph and center Marc Gasol were up to their usual tricks against Los Angeles, combining for 49 points and 24 rebounds, and the rugged Grizzlies forced the Clippers into 39.5 percent field-goal shooting while holding them eight points under their season average.
By grounding the normally high flying Clippers to a near halt, the Grizzlies (6-5) took an early lead and then withstood a handful of runs to hold on for the win.
Los Angeles twice crept within four points over the final 30 seconds, but Randolph hit two free throws and then broke loose for an uncontested layup to keep the Clippers at arm's length.
Forward Blake Griffin had 23 points and 11 rebounds for the Clippers (7-4). Guard Chris Paul had 18 points, 11 assists and nine rebounds, though he finished 5-for-14 from the field. Guard J.J. Redick and forward Matt Barnes both had 12 points for Los Angeles.
Clippers center DeAndre Jordan, who had his issues over the years matching up against the Grizzlies' physical frontcourt, finished with eight points and 16 rebounds.
Guard Mike Conley added 15 points for the Grizzlies, who got a game-high 26 points and 15 boards from Randolph. Gasol contributed 23 points, nine rebounds and eight assists.
The Grizzlies led by as many as 12 points in the first half, but the Clippers went on a 21-13 run over the final 6:44 of the second quarter to cut their deficit to 52-51 at halftime.
NOTES: Clippers F Blake Griffin earned NBA Player of the Week honors, the league announced Monday. ... Memphis G Tony Allen was ejected from the game in the first quarter when he kicked Chris Paul in the side of the face with his outstretched leg as he jumped to defend the Clippers guard. Allen was assessed a flagrant 2 foul. ... The Clippers began the night with an NBA-leading average of 110 points per game, all part of new coach Doc Rivers' focus on up-tempo offense and quick shots. Of course, that comes with a whole set of other issues, as the quicker a team shoots, the sooner the other team gets a chance to do the same. "You're probably going to have to play defense more," Rivers said. "The old adage is if you want to see a great defensive team, especially in college, watch how often they shoot at (the end) of the shot clock."

Le Cordon Bleu course a challenge
About three minutes into the first practical session, I had smoked out the student kitchen with unattended potatoes, peeled my finger bloody and come dangerously close to setting myself on fire.
Everyone else seemed a lot more collected - even the 13-year-old.
We had three hours to make a traditional seafood soup called cotriade and a black pudding, apple and onion tart.
The hardest thing about a cooking class is working with unfamiliar recipes in an unfamiliar kitchen. Not to mention the time limit.
Chef de cuisine Francis Motta was very patient - even when he saw the state of my mussels - something else I forgot to keep an eye on.
Day one of boot camp is cuisine, or savoury dishes. The morning is spent in the auditorium with the chef demonstrating the day's recipes. On, then, to the kitchen, where you make your best attempt at reproducing the morning's demonstration.
I should have taken more notes.
Seafood is not usually on my list of must- eats. I dabble with fish and enjoy the odd prawn, but am by no means experienced with marine-life prep. At boot camp, I notched up my first mussel-beard removal, first encounter with scampi eggs and first taste of black pudding (not a fan). Fortunately for the other seven participants, the seafood dish was a huge hit, and much better executed. Engineer Mike, the only male on the course, proved the dark horse of the kitchen and produced an enviably smooth broth with well-cooked seafood.
Self-described cooking-class junkie Susan had the unfortunate experience of working beside me. Her nous with seafood was considerably greater - she beheaded her scampi with nary a flinch. A family cook, Susan learned to debone quail alongside chef/restaurateur Martin Bosley and has spent time in Asia mastering dim sum.
Her cotriade was subject to a lot less muffled tutting from chef Motta.
Motta recently emigrated from Provence after being offered a job at the new Wellington cooking school when he was on holiday in New Zealand with his Kiwi wife.
With traditional French training and more than 20 years of experience, Motta is both a relaxed personality and an exacting professional. Despite no formal teaching training, his natural tutoring style probably stems from a lifetime spent perfecting his skills.
In France, Motta began working towards a career in food at the age of 14.
"At school I wasn't very good. More than that, really: I was terrible. I had no discipline, so I chose to work instead."
Motta's choice of profession stemmed from a family interest in food. As a child he visited the Sunday markets with his father and came home to cook the family meal.
"For me, being a chef was the best possibility."
Earlier this year he spoke to an auditorium of students for the first time, worried more about his English than the cooking ahead.
In front of the boot-camp class, his every movement is projected on to flat screens so details can be scrutinised by his students.
An entree of black pudding, apple and onion tart is a simple dish in theory but, as with everything French, there is a good deal of technique and care behind the scenes. The result is a clean, professional product.
The French are often thought of as having a natural knack with food, but what is obvious when watching these chefs at work is the technique on which all their efforts are based. There are no cut corners.
Chef de patisserie Sebastian Lambert is a fantastic example of how an exacting nature can be transferred into success.
When I bake at home, I roughly follow the recipe. If something doesn't go quite right, or I run out of something, I'll just replace it with the next best thing or give it a whirl anyway.
Such an approach borders on sacrilege with Lambert.
The sable breton (butter biscuit) dough calls for twice-sifted flour (maybe even three times if you're not sure two is enough), butter melted to a paste (not a liquid), and the dough combined just so - not over, not under. That's just for a biscuit.
Crepes are a whole new world of technique. Getting the thickness of the batter just right is a bit of a process, and the cooking is something of an art form.
My mistakes included a cold pan, too much butter and overly thick crepe batter. After making seven with holes in them and burnt edges, I finally got the hang of it and produced a few decent-looking ones.
The crepes were used in a mousse and custard dessert. Green apple mousse and a calvados anglaise were poured into crepe- lined moulds and set in the fridge.
Adding cream to the anglaise proved my undoing. I was not patient enough to bring my mixture down to 28 degrees Celsius. Fortunately, it did set and was an excellent dessert later in the evening - much oohing and aahing was done.
For the home cook, as all boot-camp participants are, a course such as this really instils the value of method.
Le Cordon Bleu insists on everything being done by hand first time around. The insistence on technique gives a new perspective to that perfect dish in a restaurant - the hours of work and layers of recipes that contribute to a finished plate.
Using a thermometer for mousse and custard is probably not even considered by many home cooks. The lesson is a valuable one and a peek into why French cooking is so prized and takes so long to master.
Despite our incompatible cooking styles, Lambert's attention to detail has no doubt produced some amazing patisserie graduates. The school's demand for perfection is not be scoffed at.
The first batch of students left the school last month having completed arduous nine- month courses - and New Zealand dining will surely benefit from their education at the hands of such consummate professionals.
When making stock, use butter to deglaze your pot three times. This picks up all the pot flavour and caramelises it into the stock.
Eel is a cheap and flavoursome replacement for expensive seafood in a sauce base.
When making crepes, use a pastry brush to butter the pan so you don't overdo it.
Always learn to make things by hand first, then use the fancy machines later when you know what to look for.
Creme anglaise is ready when you swipe a finger through it on a spatula and the clean line holds.
Sift your flour twice.

Brand Curry has been appointed as the communication consultant for Bhopal-based Ramani Ice-Cream Company Pvt Ltd. The agency will be looking after the communication strategy of the company's ice-cream and bakery products branded as Top 'N Town.
Brand Curry will also handle the communication for an education venture that the company proposes to get into within the next two months.
Subrata Chakraborty, Managing Director, Brand Curry, said, "We bagged the account on the basis of our credentials. They were impressed by our understanding of non-metro India and that clinched the decision in our favour."
The company didn't call for a formal pitch. It had approached 3-4 agencies in Delhi and ended up awarding the mandate to Brand Curry. Prior to this, the account was being handled by a local agency.
When queried on the size of the business, Chakraborty said, "It is immaterial for a communication consultant to give any importance to budgets because it operates on retainership format. We advise clients on all communication initiatives and not just only on advertising."
However, according to rough estimates, the company intends to spend Rs 3 crore in the next six months across all the products.
Sharing his view on the communication strategy, Chakraborty said, "For dairy products one has to understand the middle class and the upper middle class emerging in the non-metros of India. We will do mindset positioning, which connects with the aspirations of emerging India."
Speaking on the strategy for the education venture that the company plans to foray into, Chakraborty said, "Education is a sunrise industry, especially in the non-metros because there are increasingly confident middle class coming up in these areas and education is the first step towards greater development in life, therefore, the expanse is huge in non-metros."

Please confirm that you want to add Hustle Con - Learn Tactics for Starting/Scaling a Startup to your Wishlist.
Hustle Con 2014 is happening on August 1st in San Francisco!
Click here to see who's speaking!
When you take this course, you will walk away with startup tactics/skills that you can apply to your venture right now.
Hustle Con is different from other startup conferences you might attend. We're not going to talk about the abstract wonders of entrepreneurship. Rather, our sessions are organized around tactical advice on prototyping, acquiring customers, and setting up your tech startup.
Our speakers are successful non-technical entrepreneurs who founded companies including Intuit, Polyvore, Badgeville, Udemy, ReTargeter, and many more.
Hustle Con is a badass conference where the best non-technical founders (aka hustlers) teach how they got started and give practical advice on growing your startup. If you've heard of a hacker, well a hustler is its counterpart. Basically, it's like a rock n' roll version of TED, except not as hoity-toity. The catch? None of our speakers know how to code.

Gallery: Gardai stage dramatic recreation of major incident
The gardai took part in a joint training exercise with the Drogheda Port Company this morning to simulate the required response to a major emergency at the docks.
The focus of the garda exercises shown in the above gallery was to simulate a major emergency which would require responses from local gardai, strategic and operational command personnel, the ERU (Emergency Response Unit), RSU (Regional Support Unit), garda Water Unit, Air Support Unit and staff from Drogheda Port Company.
The learning exercise was designed to test and enhance the strategic and operational capabilities of all stakeholders and learn from issues that arose on the day.
Two scenarios were played out by gardai at Drogheda Port today:
Scenario 1:
A vessel is detected interacting suspiciously with an unregistered fishing vessel. This vessel travels towards Drogheda Port and An Garda Síochána are required to intercept the vessel. The ERU are tasked with boarding the vessel and this is achieved with the assistance of the Water Unit.
Scenario 2:
A suspect acting suspiciously on the dock witnesses the ERU board the vessel and decides to take refuge in a warehouse. He has a firearm and brings two hostages into the warehouse with him. The warehouse will eventually be assaulted due to circumstances which will arise during the exercise.

5 AmLearning Apps
Here are five apps that I think would be useful in a secondary ESL classroom. All are geared towards language use.
1. Storykit on Apple. This app allows users to create stories using text and pictures. The pictures can be drawings or photos. "Books" can have many pages. Students can take or add photos of things they are interested in, then describe them briefly. This would be useful for students will low language abilities. I would be able to look at the picture and have a sense of what they are talking about, but they would still be able to choose their topics.
2. Fotobabble on Apple. This is similar to the above, but instead of text, students record spoken words over photos. This uses a different aspect of language, but the advantages remain. It would also be useful because students would be able to listen to their voices objectively and compare my pronunciation with theirs.
3. Sock Puppets on Apple. In this app, students create sock puppets that self-animate to their voices. This would again be most useful for lower-level students, who could use the app to create short presentations. I like the potential for humour here.
4. Choose Your Path on Android. In this app, students can read choose your own adventure stories and create their own. I would accept a choose your own adventure story in lieu of a traditional story or other informal response to literature.
5. Flash Fiction Prompter on Apple. This app provides students with a character, setting, and prompt suitable for a very short piece of fiction. Unlike the other apps, I would use this one for a whole class. We'd all write for ten minutes on the same prompt, and students would select their best works to proofread and share.

The history and evolution of the 4WD market
While a four-wheeled motor vehicle will perform perfectly well for most purposes so long as two of its wheels are driven, writes Jeff Daniels, traction is much improved when all four wheels are driven. This improved traction allows poor terrain to be crossed more slowly and carefully, with less chance of becomingimmobilised, and confers the ability to negotiate steeper gradients. Full use of these abilities calls for significant drive torque to be available at very lowspeed, hence 4WD vehicles for "off-road" use are generally provided with a step-down transfer gearbox which allows the overall gearing to be significantly lowered when necessary.

Common Pigmentation Disorders
They say that clothes make the man or the woman. It is just a saying to encourage people to take charge of their confidence by putting themselves in clothes that they feel good in. However, it's not just clothing that makes confidence. It's also good grooming habits. No need to be a raving beauty or devastatingly handsome person--if your skin is clear and bright and obviously taken care of, it makes a world of difference to your mood and the way you carry yourself.
This is why a lot of people invest time and money in their skin by visiting a dermatologist and aesthetician who can recommend a proper skin routine for them. These experts can also treat skin disorders with the latest technology available.
Skin pigmentation is one of the most common concerns of the skin. There are so many kinds of pigmentation disorders like post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation, melasma, solar lentigines, ephelides (freckles), and café-au-lait macules. Some are even more common, like moles, birthmarks and growths. While many of these are not life-threatening, some people prefer to have their skin pigmentation situations treated.
Laser treatment for pigmentation is slowly becoming a popular choice among yuppies to get rid of unwanted skin marks. There are various laser treatments that are available for different types of pigmentation. Laser treatment for pigmentation concerns is the best solution nowadays. It may be pricey compared to creams and serums, but you can be sure that you will see dramatic results after a few sessions. If you are the type of person who spends a lot of special skin creams over the years and have yet to see noticeable results, then you might even save your money (and your skin) in the long run by opting for a laser treatment.
Cosmopolitan Clinic is one of those places accredited to perform laser treatments for skin. Cosmopolitan Clinic Singapore is one of the well-known aesthetic clinics in the country that offer the latest treatments with plans and prices attractive to Singaporeans. They constantly update themselves with the latest trends and treatments in order to give their clients the most up-to-date aesthetic services that will help them feel confident about themselves. They also have acne laser treatment of various kinds to help address common skin concerns of their clients.
Dr. Ng We Bunn and Dr. Alan Ho are the founders of Cosmopolitan Clinic, two experienced doctors that have been trained both locally and abroad in order to deliver personalized treatments and attention to their patients. A visit to Cosmopolitan Clinic will put you in touch with trained doctors and professionals who can help you manage and solve your skin problems once and for all

Bitter Sweet
Often times when someone is eating sweets, they don't think of the consequences. A lot of the added sugars that are in common known food that we eat daily, are slowly killing us, as mentioned in the text, "One can of regular soda contains about 140 calories of added sugar. That's about 7% of the daily calories of someone eating 2,000 calories a day.", this is an eye opener (notice the irony) for many of us because it makes us realize that consuming foods with added sugars are going to be one of causes of our death.

Designer Jeans Meet Deep Pockets
Back in December, 1999, just as all the Silicon Alley launch parties were going cash bar and venture capital was scarce, Dany Levy started an Internet company. Insane. Levy was a 28-year-old editor on a prototype for a new Condé Nast magazine called Lucky, but the beauty business was not her thing. And she had seen people like financial guru James Cramer win scores of dedicated readers with his daily Wall Street Web site, TheStreet.com. Surely as many women were addicted to fashion. Why not give them a daily dose of all things trendy via an insidery e-mail newsletter? She would hook them with Marc Jacobs sample sale listings and plugs for the latest $200 jeans, then keep them coming with Sex and the City-esque fashion tips. She'd call it DailyCandy.com.
Today DailyCandy is proof that geeks, albeit stylish ones in Levi's low-rise jeans and drugstore flip-flops, are alive and well in New York's Silicon Alley. More than 1.4 million subscribers gobble up daily dispatches in nine cities across the U.S., plus London. New franchises include a kids' edition, a special deals edition, and one on travel. The site got so hot that it attracted several potential funders and in 2003 accepted an investment from Pilot Group, headed by former AOLer Robert W. Pittman. Last summer, Pilot put DailyCandy on the block for $100 million, and pundits proclaimed the valuation evidence of another bubble. But instead of selling, the site took a second round of funding, which helped push its value to an estimated $130 million. This year's revenues are projected to be nearly $19 million, more than double those of 2005.
Not bad for a startup born just as the NASDAQ flamed out. Says Levy: "I didn't really even know." So focused was she on her idea that she didn't waste energy drumming up venture capital or worrying about Aeron chairs and dot-com swag. Instead, she withdrew the nest egg she had put aside for an MBA. Three days after the New Year, clad in black drawstring pajama bottoms and a white tank, she sat down to work in the kitchen alcove of her West Village one-bedroom. A postcard of Dustin Hoffman from the film Midnight Cowboy that hung above her desk read: "They hustled to get here."
DailyCandy owes its success to its passionate audience. The typical reader is a 29-year-old college-educated woman, usually an early adopter and opinion leader. That translates into value for marketers, who pay thousands of dollars to advertise on DailyCandy e-mails to subscribers.
In the beginning, Levy plugged DailyCandy relentlessly. She collected e-mail addresses of friends, friends of friends, and the occasional stranger. She stood in Penn Station handing out postcards (where she ran into a former classmate from Brown University, who asked: "This is what you're doing now?"). She haggled with publicists she knew from her old life as a New York Magazine staff writer. And she approached friends, saying: "Can I ask you about this idea I have?" Then she would whip out a nondisclosure agreement to keep the chat confidential.
On Mar. 6, 2000, Levy debuted with a heads-up that Zagat Survey was starting a nightlife guide, followed by a plug for a J. Crew bikini you could get a tan through. Soon subscribers doubled. With help from two angel investors, Levy got an office and hired writers. In fall, 2001, DailyCandy became profitable. By mid-2003, Levy realized the site couldn't grow without help.
That's when Pittman's Pilot Group came in. Levy calls it the right deal. "There's money, and there's good money," she says. "If you're going to accept an investment, you want to take it from someone you think is going to add something." So far the investment has allowed Levy to include more cities. Next up: Miami.

Can you send data in an .XML format?Asked by Jason Ennis on January 10, 2014 at 11:08 PM
I'm setting up a Shopify store and want to use your form to capture Sales Leads. I want to feed these leads into my CRM. To integrate I need the form data to be emailed in the ADF(auto-lead data) format. Here is a link to the Wiki to learn more about the format. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-lead_Data_Format
Thanks for your help.
JotForm Support
Hi Jason,
How about integrating your form to Shopify using Zapier? This doesn't require a custom script to create submissions into XML format which is also not available in the form builder. All you have to do is to match both services by making a zap and configure the integration like the following.
However, if you're familiar with Webhook, you might be able to achieve this but you have to write your custom script for this.
Hope this helps. Thanks!
Thank you for your quick response. I just discovered zapier last night. Looks a lot like IFTTT.com which I love. In my case, I don't need the form data to go into Shopify customer list. I need it to be emailed with the email being in the .XML format listed above. Could this be done with Zapier?
JotForm Support
Hi Jason,
Zapier-Jotform-Shopify would only create a new customer and a product so I don't think that is possible with Zapier. We'll try to search for a possible solution and get back to you.
