4 Subscription, Payment, Billing and Other Fees
4.1 Subscription
4.1.1 If a member takes classes in a City outside of the one in which they subscribed for more than 50% of the monthly billing cycle, GuavaPass reserves the right to adjust the billing to the new City billing rate without prior notice.
4.1.2 Members receive classes per subscription cycle ("Eligible Classes") to be used to visit any studio of their choice available on our platform up to 3 times during each such subscription cycle, provided however that some studios allow a different number of maximum visits during a subscription cycle ("Class Limit"). The Class Limit shall be assumed to be 3 times unless disclosed otherwise on a studio-by-studio basis within the Site and App. Members cannot transfer or gift classes to third parties, including other GuavaPass members. GuavaPass reserves the right to increase from time to time in its sole discretion the number of Eligible Classes a member can take in a given cycle (such as pursuant to certain promotions that we may offer from time to time). The most classes a member can take at any 1 studio in a cycle is the Class Limit. Please note that if a studio has more than 1 location, members can go up to the Class Limit across all of its locations, and not up to the Class Limit per location. GuavaPass makes no guarantee on the availability of classes as access to classes is on a space-available basis.
4.2 Subscription Cycle
Your GuavaPass subscription starts on the date that you sign up for a subscription and submit payment via a valid Payment Method. Each GuavaPass billing cycle is one month in duration, and you will be automatically charged each month. For example, if you purchase your GuavaPass on 10th January, your billing cycle will reset and you will be charged again on 10th February (see "Billing Date," below). Once your new month starts, you will receive your full number of Eligible Classes for such new monthly cycle. Please note that any Eligible Classes not used during a monthly subscription cycle are forfeited, and will not be exercisable in the next subscription cycle.
4.3 Payment
4.3.1 You must provide us with a current, valid, accepted method of payment (as such may be updated from time to time, "Payment Method") to use GuavaPass. We will automatically bill the monthly subscription fee to your Payment Method each month until your GuavaPass is cancelled or terminated
4.3.2 Payment shall be made in CNY.
4.3.3 The types of credit and debit cards that we accept can be found here.
4.3.4 By joining our subscription program, you authorise us to transmit information or to obtain information about you from third parties from time to time and this may include verification checks involving your debit or credit card number or credit reports in order to authenticate your identity, to validate your credit card, to obtain an initial credit card authorisation, to protect you and us from fraud, and to enable us to arrange delivery of your order to your nominated delivery address.
4.4 Billing
4.4.1 Single Month Subscription. By starting a Single Month Subscription, you authorise us to charge you a monthly subscription fee at the then current rate. You may terminate your monthly subscription at any time by logging into your GuavaPass account online and using the Cancel feature, or by emailing us. However, your first month cannot be cancelled and is not refundable.
4.4.2 Multiple Month Subscriptions. By signing up for a Multiple Month Subscription, you agree and acknowledge that your subscription will last for the length of time indicated, and you will be billed immediately at the then current rate. You will be billed again on the same date each month for the length of your Multiple Month Subscription period. You agree and acknowledge that to cancel your Multiple Month Subscription before the start of your last month of your Multiple Month Subscription, you must pay a cancellation fee of ¥1.088. You may cancel your subscription by logging into your GuavaPass account online and using the Cancel feature, or by emailing us. At the end of the Multiple Month Subscription, your subscription will be automatically extended for another term of the same length of time, and your payment method will be billed immediately and on the same date each month for the length of your Multiple Month Subscription period until you cancel your Multiple Month Subscription renewal.
4.4.3 Billing Date. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing, in particular, as indicated below, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled. In the event your paying subscription began on a day not contained in a given month, we may bill your Payment Method on a day in the applicable month or such other day as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started your GuavaPass subscription or became a paying member on 31st January, your next payment date is likely to be 28th February, and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. Your renewal date may change due to changes in your Subscription.
4.4.4 Pause Feature. We may give you the option to pause your subscription at any time, subject to a Pause Fee of ¥49. When you start your pause you will be immediately charged the Pause Fee. Your account will stay in pause mode and you will be automatically charged the Pause Fee every 2 weeks until you stop the pause or cancel your subscription. When you pause your account, you will retain the remaining days left on your billing cycle at the time and will be able to use these days when you cancel your pause, and your billing date will change accordingly. You must cancel or complete any booked classes before you start your pause, and you may not book any classes while your subscription is paused.
4.4.5 No Refunds. PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED PERIODS. Following any cancellation, however, you will continue to have access to the service through the end of your current billing period. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our members ("credits"). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of credits in one instance does not entitle you to credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide credits in the future, under any circumstance.
4.4.6 Payment Methods. You may edit your Payment Method information by logging into your GuavaPass account and using the Edit Payment Method feature, or by emailing us. If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your account (see, "Cancellation" below), you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates.
4.5 Fees
4.5.1 Late Cancellation Fee
We charge a late cancellation fee of ¥80 in Beijing for cancellations of class bookings within 12 hours before the class start time ("Default Cancellation Fee"), provided that certain studios may have a different cancellation fee and/or window, which shall be disclosed on the class booking page.
4.5.2 No Show Fee
We charge a no show fee of ¥100 in Beijing for no show of a booked class ("Default No Show Fee"), provided that certain studios may have a different no show fee, which shall be disclosed on the class booking page.
4.5.3 Other Fees
Your GuavaPass covers your access to classes. In addition, you are responsible for paying cancellation fees if you do not cancel your class with appropriate notice. Some of our venues may also charge equipment or other amenity fees. The GuavaPass only gives you access to the class for which you signed up. The venue may have additional fees for use of additional classes or spaces.

July 6, 2019, 6:04 pmHamidou DialloSG, Oklahoma City Thunder
Hamidou Diallo finished with 20 points, five rebounds, one steal, one block and one 3-pointer in 31 minutes vs. the Jazz on Saturday.
Diallo's 20 points were a team high and he was also the only player to take double-digit shots on the Thunder. He was only 1-of-5 from beyond the arc so he'll still have to work on his shot but with Paul George gone and Westbrook's future in OKC up in the air, Diallo could be getting much more opportunity.

April 9, 2020, 11:55 amZach LaVineSG, Chicago Bulls
The Bulls will hire Nuggets GM Arturas Karnisovas as their new VP of Basketball Operations, per Adrian Wojnarowski.
A deal between parties is being finalized but Karnisovas has been considered the frontrunner since his name emerged as one of the candidates. Karnisovas is replacing John Paxson and will be tasked with hiring a GM and a number of lower level staff to help reshape Chicago's entire basketball hierarchy. It's a much-needed move for a franchise that's looked listless despite having some talented young players.

April 8, 2020, 7:45 pmZach LaVinePG, Chicago Bulls
Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Denver's GM Arturas Karnisovas completed a "second lengthy interview" for the Bulls' top basketball executive position on Wednesday.
The interview was with owner Jerry Reinsdorf and COO Michael Reinsdorf. Karnisovas is the "clear frontrunner" for the job, and a change in the front office can only be positive for the Bulls franchise and their players' fantasy values. Karnisovas joined the Nuggets as assistant GM in 2013 and was promoted to GM in 2017. During his time in the front office Denver has steadily improved and was headed for a second straight 50-win season. Hopefully he can bring in a coach that can reproduce Denver's offense, as the Bulls currently rank 29th in offensive rating this season.

According to Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN, the NBA and ESPN are close to finalizing a televised Horse competition that expects to feature Trae Young, Chris Paul, Zach LaVine and others.
It is also believed that there will be some participants from the WNBA as well as recent NBA alumni. The NBA has been trying to find any way to get their product back on television and this seems like the easiest way to make that happen in the current environment. The NBA might still be a ways away but NBA fans will be able to watch some of their favorite athletes in a good old fashioned Horse competition.

Report: Nuggets' General Manager Arturas Karnisovas is the early frontrunner for the Bulls' top exec spot.
The Bulls are finally planning to move on from the Gar Foreman and John Paxson-led front office, though both may stay with the organization. Karnisovas has the draft and development track record that the Bulls are seeking. The search is in the early stages, though the Bulls do plan to have someone hired prior to the resumption of the season.

Report: NBA players that received advanced payments or regular payments on a six-month cycle instead of a 12-month cycle could return significant amounts to owners as part of a compensation deal.
Owners may already get back a pro-rated amount of their players' salaries for each game that is not made up this season. And these players that have been paid some of their salary early would need to return the advanced portion, as well. The takeaway here is that both sides would clearly benefit by playing as many regular season games as possible, but the painful talks about how to handle the missing revenue from the inevitable missed games are moving along.

April 7, 2020, 8:39 pmCassius StanleySG, College
Duke freshman shooting guard Cassius Stanley (6-foot-6, 193 pounds) has announced his plans to enter the 2020 NBA draft, after racking up averages of 12.6 PTS, 2.9 REB and 1.1 3-pointers per game, while setting averages of 47.4 percent FG, 36.0 percent from long range and 73.3 percent from the free throw line in his only season with the Blue Devils.
Stanley had a solid shortened (due to the COVID-19 pandemic) freshman year at Duke and has decided to follow the ever-popular one-and-done route for college players coming out of perennial powerhouse programs. While his numbers don't jump off the stat sheet, he is immensely talented and can put the ball in the bucket. At this point, whenever the 2020 draft happens, Stanley projects as a second-round selection.

April 7, 2020, 8:29 pmBoth GachSG, College
Sophomore Both Gach, a 6-foot-3 ,183 pound guard out of Utah, announced his plans on Tuesday to enter the 2020 NBA draft after concluding his second (shortened; due to COVID-19 pandemic) season with the Utes, averaging 10.7 PTS, 3.6 REB and 2.9 AST in 2019-20.
Unlike Nico Mannion, who also declared for the draft Tuesday, this announcement was less expected. Gach is likely looking to gauge interest from NBA teams and may not hire an agent, at least not initially. He caught some eyes with his play early in the season, but currently does not project as a selection in either round of the upcoming draft. There's a chance we see Gach back with Utah next season.

April 7, 2020, 8:13 pmNico MannionPG, College
Nico Mannion, a highly-touted freshman guard out of Arizona, has entered his name into the 2020 NBA draft pool on Tuesday.
Mannion has garnered national attention since his high school days, largely due to his impressive video clips on social media and YouTube. He has been projected as a lottery pick in the 2020 draft for some time now, so it's safe to say this isn't surprising in the least. Mannion has incredible skill as a distributor and despite his low shooting percentages in his lone season at Arizona (39.2 percent FG and 32.7 percent from deep), he should not be on the board beyond the lottery picks, whenever the 2020 draft occurs.

The NBA "would like to have a champion crowned by Labor Day weekend," per Adrian Wojnarowski.
Wojnarowski was on "Get Up" on Tuesday morning with host Mike Greenberg when he gave the latest timeline that he is hearing. Woj made it a point of emphasis that this is the ideal timeline that the NBA is hoping to complete this season by, and added that if this comes to fruition there is no question that the start of next season would be delayed. This is the latest timeline that we are hearing about, and we will have to see how realistic this is as time passes.

NBA teams will not be allowed to conduct in-person or live video workouts for NBA Draft prospects but will be allowed up to four hours of virtual meetings per prospect.
Whenever the draft happens, it will be with the least amount of research in quite a while. Teams will be without tournament game tape for college prospects and without the ability to watch live workouts. Combined with a lack of consensus on who the best players are, this could lead to a wild draft with the eventual best players going much later than usual.

For this 4th installment, the long-lost Project Hypermiler gets some ponies! We install a turbo from Garrett to take care of the hot side, and injectors and a tune from KermaTDI to take care of the cold side!
by Jeff Naeyaert
One of the things we noticed on our two trips to Europe in the last few years is that there are NO pickup trucks on the roads like you see all over here in the United States. There are some luxury type SUV's running around but much more common are "estates" or what we call station wagons and lots of little cars—our Golf being a popular choice. So how do people haul around all their crap? Trailers! We don't want to say most, but there are a lot more cars in Europe with trailer hitches and pulling all sorts of trailers of all different sizes around. It makes sense though, how often do most pickup truck users USE their truck for hauling stuff around? Probably not every day for most people. So why not have a car when you want a car that gets good fuel economy, carries around people comfortably and can fit into tight parking spaces most of the time, and then when you want it to be a pickup truck, hook up a little trailer! Well that's what we aim to do with our Golf.
In our last update we were impressed so much with our Dieselgeek shifter we took a look at some of the other products Dieselgeek makes for our MKVI Golf and found a nice skid pan or as Dieselgeek calls it—Panzer Plate. We're not sure if the name is paying homage to the old German tank or the literal meaning of the word meaning "armor" but we get it… It's a tough ass piece of aluminum bent to fit underneath the engine and protect all the vital stuff that's vulnerable to impact now that we're riding considerably lower than stock.
In our LAST update we brought the torque and horsepower of our little oil burning Golf up 30% and 24% respectively! Before that we sorted out our wheels and suspension. The most glaring problem we had left in our daily driver was the row-boat shifting of the stock 6 speed manual. Installing a short-throw shifter is a very common modification drivers do to improve the interaction with the vehicle and in most cases is fairly easy to do. We looked no further than Dieselgeek, a small company out of San Antonio, Texas and their Sigma 6 short throw shifter kit for our MKVI.

Modern diesels are light years ahead of their predecessors when it comes to power. No longer is the diesel owner subjected to white-knuckle freeway merges at school zone speeds, scary amounts of noise, smoke-screen plumes and honking horns as fellow motorists pass them with windows down. That doesn't mean there they can't be faster. This goes doubly true when you consider Project Golf TDI's sporty looks. Getting passed by Mom in the minivan with nary a glance was getting a little depressing.
Project MKVI Golf TDI: Handling Upgrades Part Deux
By Steve Rockwood
Here's the thing: the nutjobs that make up MotoIQ are never happy. Give us an improvement, and we'll look at improving the improvement. Put a pea under a thousand race buckets and we'll still feel it. Such was the case with our Project MKVI Golf TDI: we were definitely impressed with our first round of suspension mods by ST and Whiteline, we also felt the handling improvement package wasn't complete. That pea started feeling like a boulder.
The door handles and mirrors on Project Hypermiler came painted, and swapping out the sad excuse for shocks and springs on this car was absolutely necessary to keep them that way. On top of that, the stock wheels and tires left the car looking like a grizzly bear riding a skateboard, making it an unfathomable proposition to retain these pizza-cutters after going through the trouble of upgrading the suspension. Luckily, Suspension Techniques, Whiteline, Enkei, and Nitto had off the shelf solutions to help Project Hypermiler actually turn a corner at ludicrous speed while keeping its mirrors and door handles painted.
Project MKVI Golf TDI: Introduction and Suspension Upgrades
Diesels aren't for everyone. It takes a special breed to sacrifice comfort and performance for efficiency. They're noisier than their gas counterparts, they make less power, you can't find fuel for them everywhere, and they're dirtier. Anyone who has been behind a diesel Chevy Celebrity wagon, breathing in clouds of diesel stink while crawling up the onramp at 23mph will attest to these sentiments. Fortunately, VW didn't give up on improving the quirkiness of Rudolph Diesel's sparkless engine. The TDI Clean Diesel engine found in our Project MKVI Golf TDI has none of these vices. It is the everyman diesel.
I hate maintaining vehicles. Nothing is worse than sweating your ass off and busting knuckles for hours only to have a car that was only as good as when you started. No better, no worse (hopefully). If cars stayed clean, parts never wore out, and oil stayed golden, I'd piss my pants in jubilation. Unfortunately, everything on this planet has a nasty habit of degrading, and cars are no exception.
Project Hyper-Miler Part 1: Introduction
Let's face it: the days of cheap fuel are over. Whether you want to blame Wall Street, the government, democratic demonstrations in the Middle East, OPEC, hippies, China, or the soccer mom next door; the fact remains that if your buddy tosses you a five spot for gas money, you're more likely to punch him in the face than thank him. And everyone understands a punch in the face.

The BlackBerry Solutions for Your Organization and Industry track at BlackBerry World™ 2012 is always popular because of its broad appeal. It attracts business leaders, IT architects and senior managers working with BlackBerry in their enterprise or government organization. I talked to Wes M., the track leader and Senior Market Development Manager at Research In Motion® (RIM®) to get his views of the sessions this year.
BIZ BLOG: Since your focus is government customers, are the sessions in this track designed mainly for government audiences?
Wes M.: We always have terrific attendance from people in government at this track, given that many of the sessions are geared toward government interests. But we've also found a lot of other enterprise attendees from different industries who want to come and learn at these sessions. In many ways, governments can be thought leaders, and a lot of people want to come and hear what's taking place. For example, we're featuring a session called Strengthening Law Enforcement with BlackBerry Solutions that talks about police cars mounted with the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet. The takeaway from this session is how tablets can be used in any aspect of public service or field service to mobilize access to important information, easily and cost-effectively.
BIZ BLOG: How did you determine which sessions would be the best to feature this year?
Wes M.: This is my fourth BlackBerry World, so we did two things. First, we looked at the most highly rated sessions from last year, and that gave us a core set of sessions which we then adapted to reflect today's technology developments. So you'll see sessions like BlackBerry and Government: Boosting Productivity and Reducing Costs and Best Practices for Enterprise Mobile Social Networking.
Then we focused on key customers that could tell their story so our attendees could learn from a colleague's experiences. Banking on BlackBerry: How Financial Services Companies and their Customers Benefit looks at the success banks are having reaching out to their customers with mobile banking apps. There's also a good session on the opportunities in healthcare covered by BlackBerry in Healthcare: Enhancing Communications, Care and Collaboration.
BIZ BLOG: Are there any hot topics you want to highlight?
Wes M.: There are a lot of new opportunities we'll be featuring, such as using Citrix Receiver™ on the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet. Now you can begin accessing information from your desktop from anywhere you are in the world. This is really relevant for the U.S. Federal government, which is a huge advocate of teleworking. Citrix Receiver is a perfect remote access solution for people that can't be at the office but need to access their office PC.
BIZ BLOG: Are there any events beyond the sessions that government attendees will want to attend?
Wes M.: Government Day is always really useful. We often have about 200 people registered for this event on Monday, April 30th, 2012. This year we have a worldwide focus, so there will be speakers from Latin America, Asia-Pacific and North America. It's a unique opportunity to hear about compelling mobile applications using the BlackBerry solution that are being deployed by governments around the world. Customers from several regions will be discussing how their challenges have been solved with BlackBerry smartphones and BlackBerry tablets. This year, we'll be hosting a panel that's really going to get people involved in talking through the issues that affect governments today.
It's easy to be a part of this event. When you register, indicate you were planning to attend Government Day, and you can add this to your record by logging back into the registration system or by contacting Registration Services at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Why will you attend the sessions in this track? Let us know in the comments.

NorCal (Less Tragic) Parterre Gathering: Part the Second

Casta Divas
The City* might have been fogbound and frigid, and parterre.com may continue to offer up the occasional chill (via the Comments' peanut gallery…aka The Real Housewives of Parterre?), but there was plenty of warm sunshine and good cheer still to be found in Petaluma.
On Oct. 2nd, Batty Masetto and Frank hosted an intimate, operatic-themed sit-down early dinner on their veranda, beneath a glorious specimen of a redwood…with Norma conceivably worshipping Irminsul just a mistletoe sprig away. Emanating from their home were live Callas selections…but, of course! jumping clapping man sang along with his best Callasian coloratura runs and disembodied high notes, from Ophélie's Mad Scene to Abigaille's "Anch'io dischiuso."
Cher Public Shares
An attempt to urge a garden-side duet ("Mira, o Norma;" "Sous le dôme épais;" or at least the Barcarolle) from Ching (an operaphile and sometime Parterrian) was unsuccessful. Meanwhile SF Guy shared details of the treasures in his extensive video library (dvds cleverly transferred from dusty Beta videos), including the original mounting of the Hal Prince Butterfly that I'm opening in next Tuesday at SFO! It was televised via Great Performances, with Anna Tomowa-Sintow and Peter Dvorsky.
The food would have made Alice Waters salivate, and the English garden turned Ina Garten green with envy. It was fresh, divine, AND oh so very operatic! Kudos to our hosts for their inventiveness, culinary skills and generosity!
* referring to San Francisco, NOT NY, however difficult that may be for a New Yorker to swallow.
Trittico di antipasti:
• Il Signor Bruschetta
• Ciliegine alla Martina ("Madama Butterballs")
• Carciofi alla Callas (vinegar and honey)
Atto primo:
• Spaghetti alla Norma
Atto secondo:
• Bracioline di maiale alla "Scotto"-dito
(based on a traditional Scottadito, meaning "finger-blistering" or "burnt fingers," and meant to be eaten hot, with the fingers)
• Finocchio al parmigiano (fennel)
• Cassata alla Melba
Genius, Batty, Genius!!! (Batty conveys his apologies to the Italian language.)
Our first meeting was Parterrians @ the Pagoda, this time Parterrians in Petaluma. There were whisperings of the next gathering being in Oakland. That'll need some alliterative help. Wanna be on the guest list? Drop me a line. Until next time…

Hello Readers…
This blog has been about Microsoft and its market share.
Specifically, on June 2009 I bet my friend Nick that Microsoft would lack a majority market share come June 2011. We discussed the three products that HAD the majority market share as of the summer of 2009:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer for browsers
- Microsoft Office for office suites
- Microsoft Windows for operating systems
Due to personal reasons, we did not conclude this project properly.
It was too time intensive to research the true market share of Microsoft products. It is without question that Microsoft no longer holds the majority market share on browsers, now with about 30% of the market share. The office suite question is still under debate due to Google Apps. Also under consideration is if tablets replace the desktop.
In summary, the question all along should have been "What will we count?" as office suites and operating system platforms instead of "What will we use?"
Without question, Microsoft is struggling to stay relevant as revenues plummet. Indeed, upon 2011 year close Microsoft is a different company. It is sad. I do not want Microsoft to fold. Competition is good even for the Apple and Linux-based products I prefer using.
After-all, I am a MSFT stock-holder.

What and where is the Missouri Rhine Valley? It's the heart of Missouri Wine Country, the area along the Missouri River between St. Charles and Hermann. It includes the two most historic wine towns in the state – Augusta and Hermann – and the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the entire country. Yes, back in 1980, tiny Augusta beat out Napa Valley for the title of the first AVA in the United States.
The area is blessed with dozens of wineries, beautiful vineyards, scenic vistas, charming towns, and friendly people. The early German settlers chose this valley along the Missouri River because it reminded them of the Rhine River valley in Germany. That German heritage is still strong today and is reflected in many festivals and events throughout the area.
If you're a local, chances are you haven't played "tourist" in awhile and don't realize how much there is to do and see right here in your own backyard. If you're a visitor, welcome, and we hope you enjoy discovering the many wonders of the Missouri Rhine Valley.

Okay, I will talk about XDMCP today. First we will see what is xdmcp protocol.
There is a nice article on what is XDM is here
In very simple words, this a protocol to get the X Windows login to a remote system. The client sends the request to the server and server completes the requests. For this the server allows the clients to connect to XDMCP port. There are various ways the XDMCP works most common being indirect, direct and query. So basically if you are using a XDMCP clinet you will get the feeling of using the server directly with the GUI and all. (It is very similar to VNC but not same as VNC, see here for the differences in ssh, vnc and XDMCP.)
Now, first the server needs to allow XDMCP connections to the window manager. The procedure varies from window manager to window manager but involves opening the port for communication and configuring the server to accept connections on the port. Find here a link to configure the server.
Ok, now if you want to run the client to connect to the server. If you are on Linux, then you can use the Xnest server. Find the artile here to use the Xnest client.
But if you are on Windows then there are couple of clients, and am still not very satisfied with any of them but here are the options:
Xceed Not Free but a really nice client. I personally like the product, have used it in the past. But costly.
Windows Terminal Server This is a free client that can be used as Terminal Client to connect to XDMCP services too. I have not used this personally.
My favourite client is XMing – partly because it is freeeee and open source and secondly because of the ease of use.
SSH Tunneling with XDMCP At the end of this article you will find a nice talk about how you can use the ssh tunneling with XDMCP. Its really nicely explained and interesting too.
Do comment if you have used some other clients and think that they are worth mentioning, specially if they are OSS.

The Portraval of Beauty in Woman's Fashion MagazinesMoeran, Brian (Frederiksberg, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The primary contents of women's fashion magazines are fashion, beauty and health. This paper sets out to explore the ways in which international fashion magazines such as Elle, Vogue and Marie Claire portray feminine beauty in textual and advertising matter and how their readers react to such portrayals. Beauty is analysed as grooming practice, and make-up as the prime symbol of the self and its many facets in social interaction. The paper looks at the different kinds of 'face' that magazines invite their women readers to put on and suggests that they – and their advertisers – adopt a 'technology of enchantment' as a means of exercise control over them. Magazine and advertising language is imbued with 'magical' power, and the paper shows how the structure of advertisements closely parallels that of magical spells used in certain healing rituals. It concludes by using magazine reader interviews to learn the extent to which women do or do not believe in such 'spells' and whether they are encouraged to buy into the 'beauty myth'.

Christensen, Bo T.; Kristensen, Tore; Reber, Rolf (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The literature in consumer psychology has tended to lack a clear separation between theoretical models of creativity and beauty evaluations of products. The present study examined whether creativity and beauty affected willingness to pay jointly or separately. In three experiments using paintings, wrist watches and designer lamps as stimuli, the present study shows how creativity and beauty both positively influence consumer willingness-to-pay for the product, but each explains different parts of the variance. Further, product complexity differentially affects consumer judgments of creativity and beauty. The results show that it is essential to develop separate models of creativity and beauty evaluations in consumer psychology, in that they seem to be distinct factors, explaining different parts of the variance in their consequences on willingness to pay, and are affected differentially by antecedent factors, such as complexity.

Moeran, Brian (, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This working paper examines the role of international book fairs in the global publishing industry, and in particular their relation to the publishing cycle, chain and field. It outlines some relevant historical features, as well as main functions, of fairs, before describing in detail the daily activities of an independent academic publisher at the Frankfurt Book Fair. Analysis of the book fair takes place at two levels. The first focuses on the importance of visibility in a fair's timing and location, as well as in the location and size of participants' stands, inclusion in the fair catalogue, business deals, and social gatherings. The second examines the book fair as a tournament of values, or ritual tournament, in terms of its framing, membership and currency. The argument presented is that the currency of copyright is not dissimilar to a form of gift exchange and that, as a result, a book is both commodity and gift. It is in the shadow of the gift that the commodity of the book is produced, distributed, sold and read. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7779

Hilger, Jan (, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The Apparel Industry was one of the first globally operating industries. Already in the early 1970ies did European fashion companies extend their manufacturing workbenches into lower cost neighbouring countries, making it one of the first industries to have a globally distributed network. In the first decade of the 21st century, the conditions for clothes manufacturing has changed considerably. The Sourcing Share of Asia increased dramatically especially since Chinas participation in the WTO in 2005 which led to the abolition of quotas. India, Vietnam, Bangladesh, Malaysia and the Philippines also play a major role in the Asian Textile and Garment Market. But even so, West Europe, the Mediterranean Rim and the East European Countries still play an important role on the global textile and apparel market, maybe no longer from the volume perspective but in terms of variety, complexity and product quality, particularly for the more demanding markets. Latin America has seen a significant decline over the last decade but is developing similar strategies like Europe to compete through quality and specialty niche rather than volume. Does this mean that the West European Apparel Industry is dead? The European Textile and Garment industry has undergone a severe decline since 1970 which nearly made it extinct in some of the EU founding economies. The labour intensive manufacturing segment which is almost not existent in Western Europe today particularly suffered. The only uncritical area where specifically one country in Western Europe is still defending its share, possibly due to changed sourcing practices and a recently increased presence on the global marketplace is the textile sector in Italy, which has even seen a rise in both volumes and employees over the last decade.

Abstract: This paper compares the branding strategies of Berlin and Singapore. The respective authorities in these cities are actively marketing, branding and transforming their cities, so that these locations will be perceived as culturally vibrant, technologically advanced and attractive for investors, tourists and creative workers. While Berlin and Singapore share the same goals, they also share similar problems – how can they convince a world that is critical and cynical about the commercial images presented through their place brands? How can they convince the world that their cities are really exciting and truly creative? The arts and culture – both popular and high – are used in place branding to address some of these challenges. This paper also concludes that place branding and its authenticity must be understood in context. The emerging reality of the place means that the brand should also reflect the local entangled social, economic and political issues; the brand, in order to be authentic, should also communicate the commercial and the vision of the place.

Bille, Trine; Jensen, Søren; Vestergaard, Trine (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Many studies on the creative labor market have been done with the purpose to get knowledge on the creative workers employment, working conditions, income etc. (e.g. Alper and Wassall (2006), Throsby (2001), Throsby and Hollister (2003), Heian, Løyland and Mangset (2008), Abbing (2002). Most studies have been based on interviews and this approach has of course its pros and cons. Very few studies are based on true longitudinal data making it possible to study artists income development and survival in the professions (one exception is Coulangeon et al., 2005) The aim of this study is to analyze, comparatively for different groups of artists, the factors that affect 1) the income of artists, and 2) the probability of an artist exits the artists labor market. The paper compares different groups of artists, by looking at income functions and survival functions concerning risks to exit the labor market, using event history techniques (survival functions and Cox regressions).

Ooi, Can-Seng (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Tourism is entwined in economics, politics, culture, and social life. Despite Denmark's attempt to re-brand itself as a modern, trendy and vibrant destination, the Danish tourism authorities is still selling the country's historical sights and Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales to attract a growing number of Chinese tourists. While tourism authorities want to please the Chinese, other Danish authorities are concerned with overstaying tourists who may end up as illegal immigrants. On the Chinese side, the Chinese government is concerned with the image of China and its travelling citizens; they are trying to socially engineer the Chinese into better behaved tourists. The growing China outbound tourism market offers avenues for researchers to re-evaluate some aspects of tourism studies. Earlier studies have concentrated on the domination of tourist-receiving Third World countries by tourist-supplying First World countries. Other studies have focused on tourism impacts on host societies, ignoring how tourists themselves are being socialized and managed. This article, in the case of China, shows that a class of tourists from the developing world is capable of shaping destinations but they themselves are being shaped for the global tourism market. branding Denmark, place branding, tourism impact, tourism strategy, tourism politics URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/6577

Career-making among cinematographers and film editors in the Danish film industryMathieu, Chris; Stjerne, Iben Sandal (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This chapter analyzes subjective and objective dimensions of developing a career to a large extent based on one or several strong dyadic relationships to directors who invariably overshadow editors and cinematographers, and the personal and professional advantages (maybe even necessity) and dilemmas encountered in this process. We focus on processes of reputation, but above all, association. With regard to association we examine its two-fold dimensions. On the one hand we look at dynamics inherent in the dyadic relationship (relationship-internal dynamics) as these are central to both subjective experience of one's career (i.e. meaningfulness, quality of working life, ambitions, and accomplishments), as well as its more objective trajectories.

The case of CopenhagenOoi, Can-Seng; Strandgaard Pedersen, Jesper (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The stakeholder and bottom up approach is advocated by many researchers in the place branding literature. In order for a place brand to be successful, it must be supported by the various stakeholders. Moreover, it is an ethical issue. While studies have shown how place brands fail because of the lack of consultation with stakeholders, building up consensus amongst stakeholders is easier said than done. Models are plentiful but the practice can be a different story. How should these models translate into actual practices? We looked at the Copenhagen International Film Festival and the branding of Copenhagen. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7939

On the authority and role of place brand image rankingsCsaba, Fabian Faurholt; Stöber, Birgit (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper discusses the practice of ranking linked to the issue of place branding focusing on two cases from Denmark, one the national level, the other on the local level, namely the city of Copenhagen. Rankings of places have increased, and – as we shall argue – so have their influence on identity negotiation and public policy. Drawing on experiences with rankings in other fields (corporate reputation and higher education) and critical work on polling, we examine their growing influence, unanticipated consequences and claims to represent places and people. We analyze how media and various audiences represent and use place image survey results. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8243

Content, Cost, Chance, and CollectionLorenzen, Mark (København, 2007)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This Working Paper argues that the film industry is a paradigmatic example of how the organization of the cultural economy is shaped by balancing creativity with contextual issues. In the film industry, organization is far from determined only by creative concerns for content production: Issues of cost, chance and collection also play important roles. Through analyzing creativity and its context in the film industry, the paper explains the industry's organization, and opens up for understanding its significant national and regional differences. The paper carries out a literature study of economic, socioeconomic and economic geography literature on the film industry, analyzing the importance of creativity, cost, chance and collection in the film industry, and exemplifies how these issues are balanced differently in different clusters. The analytical framework presented in the paper may be used to understanding different "models" of filmmaking.

Film festival prize juriesMathieu, Chris; Bertelsen, Marianne (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This case focuses on juries that award prizes at film festivals. Prize juries usually award a preordained set of prizes to a preselected slate of films, but on grounds or criteria that are usually up to the actual jury itself to formally or informally establish and administer. The consequences of film festival prize jury allocations can accrue to many different groups and individuals. The most obvious beneficiaries are the persons associated with the films and roles that win prizes, though what the tangible benefits of winning prizes are depend both on what prize at what festival and still is a matter of debate. The film festivals themselves and their leadership also are impacted by the jury and its decisions, as these build or erode legitimacy and publicity for the festival. Likewise, the jury members themselves may receive a number of benefits from their jury work, as elaborated on below. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8661

Abstract: Singapore has embarked on an ambitious program to make the city-state into a significant player in the global creative economy. The country is being re-branded as a creative city. The government agrees that in the creative economy, the environment must be conducive to experimentation and innovation. As a result, more social and political spaces have been opened up to spur Singapore's fledging creative economy and also to signal that the nation has become more transparent and tolerant. The authorities, however, still limit the freedom of public expression on political, ethnic and religious issues. The current state of ethnic-religious harmony and political status quo is to be preserved. Singapore remains a soft-authoritarian state. Can such a country then be branded as a place conducive to creativity and innovation? This paper shows how the Singaporean government: 1) introduces and implements a set of comprehensive policies to develop the creative economy; 2) brands and re-images the city-state as an exciting creative nation; 3) communicates the new creative vision and eventually engineers local acceptance of the creative economy; and 4) promotes the image of an open society and yet maintain tight social and political control. The re-making and re-imaging of Singapore are two sides of the same coin. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7774

The ideological symbiosis of 'auteur' and 'craftsperson'Mathieu, Chris (Frederiksberg, 2011)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This chapter explores some of the central cultural tenets of career and film making among elite members of the Danish film industry, or what is less than elegantly and somewhat grammatically incorrectly referred to as 'the cultural of production and career' in the title of this chapter. The theoretical reasons for this formulation is to train focus on the ideational dimensions of culture in the Danish film industry, especially as refracted through reflections on work and career by film workers. In this sense the approach, though less inclusive and ambitious, resembles Caldwell's interest in 'indigenous interpretive frameworks in Production Culture.i The chapter also argues that production and career decisions and actions are inextricable intertwined. Sometimes the two are consciously and manifestly related to each other, in terms of deliberating the implications that working on a given film, with given persons, in a given manner, etc. will have on one's further work possibilities; or the reverse, how career considerations impact how films get made in terms of who works on them and what resources, skills, tastes, and perspectives are brought into and realized in a production. Sometimes the interrelation of these considerations remains latent. This chapter explores how certain cultural underpinnings support these mutually intertwined considerations.

Moeran, Brian (, 2009)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This paper draws on extensive fieldwork in a wide range of creative industries to argue that creativity itself is under-theorised, and should be considered as both enabled and inhibited by numerous constraints guiding the choices made by creative personnel during the course of their work. Six sets of constraints are outlined in the context of different forms of cultural production: material, temporal, spatial, social, representational and economic. It is argued that the performance of creative work is similar in part to Turner's concept of 'communitas', when an aura of individual creativity is passed to other participants. This kind of liminal space is also found in creative industry ritual events, which enable participants to communicate on an equal footing, and gain knowledge and connections that they can then use at work in their normal everyday lives. These in turn may have a long-term effect on cultural production, creativity and constraints. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7951

Melchior, Marie Riegels (, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: In terms of dress and fashion Denmark is an example of a West European peripheral country within the international fashion system. Since the Middle Ages, new fashions have found their way to Denmark through the internationally oriented royal family, the purchases of well-traveled citizens, various international and national fashion reports, and the international purchases by local retailers. With varying speed new cuts, colors and styles have impressed themselves upon both the everyday and festive fashions of the Danish wardrobe. The same foreign influence applies to local fashion production. Design, craftsmanship and technology has through time been shaped under influences from abroad. But these international influences have not undermined the recurring idea of a particular Danish dress and fashion culture. In the middle of the 19th century the prevailing view was that the peasants' festive dress represented specific national dress. By the beginning of the 21st century discussions in the Danish fashion industry and industry policy concern Denmark's status as a fashion nation and Copenhagen as a possible new global fashion center. This is due to the growing Danish fashion culture, the textile and clothing industry's export success, and not least the fact that Denmark is a world-leading fur exporter.

Moeran, Brian (, 2008)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: This essay examines embedded structural tensions in the organization of Japanese advertising production. Tensions arise from the fact that an advertising campaign, like many other creative products, is produced by motley crews of personnel from both within an agency contracted to carry out the campaign (an account team) and freelance professionals hired to assist in the creative work required (a production team). The structuring of advertising account teams in Japan, Europe and the USA depends on how accounts are distributed by advertising clients. The amount and kind of creativity displayed by photographers depends on advertising and the structure of fashion magazine publishing. Creativity itself thus depends on an unspoken set of institutional power relations that enables individuals to compete for recognition as being creative . URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/7777
