The Pages window provides information about the pages of the site. It is thus possible to know at a glance how many pages there are in the site and on this number, how many are online, in draft mode or have been created by yourself or others. WordPress also provides sorting, filtering and search tools.
Reminder : By default, published pages or posts are not automatically added to a menu in WordPress. It is therefore up to the webmaster to add them manually.
Sorting pages
By default, pages are displayed in alphabetical order.
- Double-click the word Title in the column header to display the pages in reverse alphabetical order.
- Click on the word Date in the column header to display the pages in reverse chronological order (the last published pages are displayed first). Click a second time to display the pages in chronological order
- It is not possible to sort pages by author, only filter them.
- Since pages do not support comments, sorting by comments, although present in the header is not possible either.
Filtering pages
WordPress allows you to filter pages according to different criteria. To display only
- The pages you are the author of: Click on Mine
- Pages currently online: Click on Published
- Pages in draft mode: Click on Drafts
- Pages published on certain dates: Select a month from the drop-down menu and click Filter
- Pages by author: Click on the author's name in the Author column.
Deleting the filter
Click on All
WordPress provides a text search allowing you to search for a given string of characters in all pages.
- Type the desired word (s) in the field
- Click on Search Pages
Bulk actions
As the name insinuates, the Bulk actions are actions that you can apply to multiple pages at the same time.
- Check the boxes of the wanted pages (use the filters if necessary)
- Click edit
- Click apply
- Do the wanted modifications
- Click update

When it comes to writing an argument essay, you must take a strong stance and defend it convincingly. You need to "fight" to persuade your audience to side with you.
If you're totally lost or just want to start from the very beginning, here's a basic breakdown of how to write an argument essay outline.
If your on the right track and just need some help with the details, here are some tips on how to write better hook sentences and thesis statements.
Also, here is a good tip about conclusions:
"Your conclusion should create a sense of movement to a more complex understanding of the subject of your paper…It should not simply restate your intro paragraph. If your conclusion says almost the exact same thing as your introduction, it may indicate that you have not done enough critical thinking during the course of your essay (since you ended up right where you started)."
Good luck!

Q: I have the zmi 10000 mAh power bank. I was wondering how to turn off the charger.
A: If you unplug all cables attached to the battery pack, it will turn OFF on its own in 30 seconds.
You can tell it's off by observing that all the four LED lights next to the USB ports turn off in 30 seconds. By design, pressing the button one time will reveal the charge level remaining in the battery pack, and will also wake up the unit from sleep. Again, by design, the unit will shut down automatically after it's been idle for 30 seconds. Please let us know if that answers your question.

amazing chair
I bought this for the looks. After sitting in it I'm very happy it also is extremely comfortable. A Big upgrade from my previous chair. Recommend.
Knoll Life Chair
I am very satisfied with the support provided by the Knoll Life Chair and the adjustability of it. The one thing that I would change is that there is no seat topper that is included with the basic chair. I assumed that there would be some sort of cushion associated with it and so did not order a seat topper. However, there is no cushion at all and, while comfortable, the seat gets very hard if you are sitting in it for a long time. I would recommend that some sort of cushion be included with the basic chair.
Knoll Life Chair
When I retired, I couldn't bear to leave my wonderful Knoll Life office chair. I was delighted to find that The Human Solution offered all the options available for these chairs. At home now I'm still spending many hours at my computer, and the Knoll Life chair is keeping my back happy.
Knoll Life Chair
Chair is very comfortable, but make sure you get the casters for hard floors. If you use a chair mat to move around on, the casters start peeling and make a mess!
Knoll Life Chair
Very adjustable. Seat could use a little more padding but that may just be a mesh chair thing. Overall very good.
This product comes standard with a 10-year limited warranty.

Manfrotto VS Libec tripod systems for SONY Z5
Hi, I am having the hard time choosing between this two systems for SONY Z5:
I've heard good feedback about Libec LS-38M head but the tripod hight - 61' (155cm) makes me think Manfrotto way.
Ideally I would like to have something around 190cm, but my budget for the new system is $700.00
Manfrotto 546B is taller (15cm) than Libec, but is it better in action too?
Thinking about going to B&H to check them out and compare.
Will appreciate any feedback from those who use this system with similar camera set-up.
My camera in it's heaviest load do not exceed 7 lb.

Well Alex I have been using the Libec for two years now and can only describe the action as buttery smooth. I have no regrets.

I've owned the Libec for the last year, as well as the Z5, and I love it. Brilliant tripod and head, probably the best value for money out of any tripod. I have tried using that Manfrotto and I didnt enjoy using it as much as the Libec. I found the Libec much smoother.
I've also used the Vinten Pro6HDV and I prefer the Libec to that too.
I think the LS38 is under talked about on the web, theres hardly any reviews or info on it but it is a great tripod and I highly recommend it, especially for the Z5.

Counterbalance, counterbalance, counterbalance...
There is no adjustable counterbalance on the LS-38. A lot of people don't seem to realise the importance of this to a good tripod. Adjustable drag is very useful too. Want a real slow, graceful pan? Dial up the drag setting and it's easy. The LS-38 has no adjustable counterbalance.
LS-38 is rated for 4kg+. Way too strong a counterbalance for cameras of this size.
My advice is to try more than just the 504HD and the LS-38. Try the smaller Sachtlers like the FSB-4 (rated to 8.8lbs) for around $700-800. If you try the LS-38 and love it, then no worries - a lot of people get by with it.

I was able to put both this systems next to each other and compare.
Libec LS-38 is strong and simple, smoothness is great for the price. Manfrotto 504HD was pretty good too. I had a chance to pan and tilt with full camera setups in B&H pro camera sections. It does have counterbalance and wider top plate area.
Both legs are fine for price, but manfrotto is taller.
Mike, I've just checked out online the Sachtlers FSB-4, very interesting, but those 10 cm for me may become critical at some point and I do not see any taller decent legs in that price range other than Manfrotto.
I think I have made my decision. Thank you so much for replies.

Mike has a point about the lack of drag adjustment. However I have found that the amount of drag the Libec provides is fine for my purposes, and too much drag can negate the smoothness of the start and stop of the pan. As regards counterbalance: I use an EX-1 and a XLH1a with this tripod and have no problem balancing the head. There is plenty of fore and aft movement of the plate.

Everyone knows what this is. A thread for everything that doesn't fit into the other threads and for any general discussion.
The OT Thread of OT
Someone just tweeted this, saying they are having a retro party
Wonder how much all that stuff would go for on eBay.
I got £240 for a N64 with 14 games and 2 pads about 2004, if that's anything to go by.
Revision is killing me and my mind drifted the other day to (serious question). Do caterpillars know they're going to become butterflies or do they just build a cocoon and think… what the fuck just happened?
I just rode my bike to work. Norwich is a flat area don't you know.
Tbf in the center of Norwich there's a castle, and then there are huge hills on either side of it. WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT PUTTING A CASTLE IN A VALLEY WAS A GOOD IDEA. Fucking retards.
I doubt caterpillars know they will become butterflies. I'd imagine if you left a human being to grow up alone in the wilderness, they'd have no clue that their balls would drop/tits would grow/hair would turn grey.
Norwich Castle is a royal palace not a defensive structure.
Much cringe, such autism.
I think your balls dropping is very different to building a house, going into a coma inside it then waking up with giant colourful wings though?
Let it go, Jon, just let it go.
I can't, thinking about caterpillars and butterflies is so much more preferably than the insane amount I need to learn for my exams
On the plus side, only need to average 65% over my 4 exams to get a 1st overall… baller alert.
It is indeed! Haha!!
@freebird and @smidsy will appreci8 that gif
Looks like my attic. Except I have a few consoles they don't have there!
I really should get them all set-up when I get a new place.
@Easy id have killed some one if that had been me! That gif makes a part of me die inside!
There's been a serious debate going on within the mumble between Gazza and the rest of us and I feel it would be best to have a wider audience for the type of philosophical questions that are being discussed.
So without further ado, I ask you:
Would you rather do a goat and noone would know, or not do the goat but everyone you know thinks you did?

Fight against single-use plastic
We are glad to unveil our symbol for 'Fight against Single-Use Plastic'. It is copyright free, so feel free to use this logo to spread awareness for the cause.
We are determined to replace plastic with environment healthy alternatives. Three years back we started offering stainless steel bottles that can be refilled anytime from the refuelling station. Since then we have managed to save over a hundred thousand plastic bottles. We have replaced most plastic by greener options – bamboo ear buds, organic toiletries in dispensers, no plastic sachets or dustbin liners to name a few. Tetra packs, coffee sachets and similar single-use plastic materials have also been done away with.
Hail the creative team
We are so pleased to share that our naturalist Naresh Singh from King's Lodge in Bandhavgarh, was the first runner up in PIXEL PERFECT photo competition 2018 organised by Yes Bank Natural Capital Awards.

Heads up! Come check out our new forums, CurlTalk.
Types 2B to 3B: What conditioner do you use?
I have fine blonde hair, type 3a/b, and I really need a good go-to conditioner that won't weigh my hair down. I've recently committed to the CG method, and I've learned that my hair is easily over conditioned (a very new concept to me). This leads to weighed down, oily looking, "mushy" feeling hair that is just not cute. Ingredients like Coconut Oil and Shea Butter are just too heavy for me. I need a CG conditioner that is light, yet moisturizing. I also kind of need it to be affordable enough for regular purchase-- let's says $1/oz preferred.Any suggestions for me? I really appreciate the help!

Hi Curlygirl 042! DevaCurl makes a lightweight conditioner called Delight that is great for looser curls and waves. It works on the same principle as the other Deva conditioners but is the most lightweight of the three. It is made with rice protein to keep your fine hair strong and shouldn't be too heavy. I would definitely give it a try!! A little goes a long way, so you should get good use out of a standard-size bottle. Good luck! :)
Thanks Nicolepaige! I was actually using DevaCurl One Condition back before they launched Delight. It was pretty awesome, and I'm sure Delight is perfect. Deva's a little on the pricey side for me, though. I probably will use Deva as my "special occasion" conditioner, but I think I need to alternate with something less expensive for everyday. Thanks!!
Hi! I have 3a to 3b hair. I use Carol's Daughter Black Vanilla Hydrating Conditioner and the Black Vanilla Shampoo on a regular basis. Both products are sulfate and silicone free. The Carol's Daughter brand is affordable considering the high quality of their products. It's $11 for a 12 fluid oz bottle of the conditioner at the store I buy it from. It's sold at Target and Walmart in my town. I also use the Deva Curl No Poo about once a month along with Deva Curl One Condition for extra hydration.My hair only feels weighed down when I use too many gels and oils after washing my hair, which is why I avoid putting too many products in my hair. "Less is more" is definitely the key to keeping my hair healthy and preventing build-up & weighed down curls. Good luck with finding a good, reasonably priced conditioner that works well with your curls! :)
I use briogeo curl charisma conditioner and it smells like heaven and leaves my hair soft, shiny and manageable I would highly recommend :)
This Q&A section is soo last year... Talk curls at the all new CurlTalk!

"Everyone should have their opinion and be able to voice it. No matter what it is. Of course, that does not mean your opinion is always right. But, you're certainly entitled to your opinion". – Tim McGraw
Most of them think holding an opinion could be vulnerable. It could damage their reputation, cause a down-stride to their career, could result in people getting judgemental about them. However, holding back your opinions could cause more harm than you think.
Having an opinion could be helpful to you and your overall personality development in the ways listed below.
Boosts Self-Confidence
- Confidence is a powerful tool to have.
- When you voice out your opinion, it boosts your self-confidence depending on how controversial the topic is. However, it requires that you stop caring about other people's perception about you if and when you voice your opinion. For example, if you are expressing yourself in a meeting stop caring about these thoughts in your head – "What are other people going to think about this opinion", "How are they going to react", "Are they going to get judgemental about me", "Are they going to share their opinions too?".
- While sharing an opinion aloud does instill self-confidence, you also need to have some amount of self-confidence to voice it. This way your existing self-confidence doubles itself when you express your opinion.
- If sharing opinions does not come naturally to you, then you need to push an extra mile, come out of your comfort zone of silence to begin expressing your opinion to effectively increase your confidence.
Learning Experience
- Being entitled to an opinion does not make the opinion right. Sometimes when you aren't sure if you have got your facts right, or if your facts aren't contextual or relevant to the opinion you have formed, it is important to voice your opinion. It certainly won't appear foolish, others around will give you a better clarity or might help clear your assumptions. If others have better clarity of facts, then it becomes a great learning experience for you. If they don't, well, you had nothing to lose anyway.
Could bring a change
- The typical psychology for not expressing opinions is a belief that "their opinions will not be considered anyway". For example, employees refrain from voicing their opinions in front of the management because they assume that their opinions will not be considered anyway. However, there is no guarantee that the employee's opinion will be sidelined. The management might as well consider the employee's opinion, take action on the same and that could make a difference and bring about an unexpected change. So, don't hold back, you never know what's coming on the way.
- When you are voicing your thoughts and expressing your opinion, you never know how you are inspiring/motivating the other person. For example, if you are expressing your opinion on how Mr. Narayana Murthy set up Infosys from his wife's savings of INR 10,000 and went on to achieve a total company asset value of over 10.5 billion dollars, there might be a budding entrepreneur listening to you, or a struggling individual who needs to hear motivational stories which will make him realize that there is always light at the end of a tunnel.
The Internet is a new phenomenon, we have learned and are still learning from the internet. It provides an easy medium to express and share your opinions quickly and inexpensively.
Yet, why is it so hard to have an opinion on the internet?
Because your opinion and your choices are written all over your profile, your timeline, your pages, your blog, everywhere. That is why in the social media your past opinions can come back and haunt you. And that is precisely why people refrain from voicing their opinion on the internet.
There is a need for a platform to voice your opinion and yet not get "judged" now and later for expressing your opinion.
With a website like ClapRSlap, you don't need to have the fear of getting judged, getting perceived or taunted for your ideas/opinions. Yet you get to share your questions through polls, get to know what the world thinks, post your opinion for others and not have to worry a bit about how voicing your opinion on something can change your life/career.
This is why the tagline says - "Truly express yourself".

Torrance, CA: American Honda is proud to announce that two-time WMA Women's Motocross Champion and two-time X Games Gold Medal winner Ashley Fiolek will be racing once again in 2011 with the American Honda Racing factory team. Fiolek will join American Honda Racing teammates Trey Canard and Josh Grant and will campaign for a third WMA title in 2011 on Honda's CRF250R.
After a successful amateur-racing career that saw her win 13 amateur national titles and more than 100 races, Fiolek made her full-season professional racing debut in 2008, winning the AMA/WMA Women's Motocross Championship in her first attempt and garnering unprecedented mainstream and enthusiast media coverage. She followed up that success with much more: joining the American Honda Racing Team in 2009, she secured the WMA Championship for the second year in a row and also earned a gold medal in the highly popular X Games competition. After finishing 2010 as runner-up in the WMA series and collecting X Games gold once again, this year she will vie for another WMA title and compete in the 2011 X-Games competition plus other select events. In addition, Fiolek recently penned "Kicking Up Dirt," a book documenting her efforts to overcome her deafness and become a champion in the demanding sport of Motocross.
American Honda Racing Team Manager Erik Kehoe said, "Ashley's commitment to racing and her strength have earned her not only the respect of Honda but the entire industry. Her achievements have really helped elevate women's racing to a wider audience."
"Being able to race Motocross professionally on the factory team at Honda has been a dream come true for me," said Fiolek. "I can't thank American Honda enough for providing me this continuing opportunity and I look forward to working with Erik and the whole American Honda Racing team once again."
For more information on Ashley and the American Honda Racing team, go to hondaredriders.com. To meet Ashley in person as well as the other members of the American Honda Racing team—Trey Canard and Josh Grant—stop by the American Honda Racing team transporter at Anaheim 2 on February 5, 2011.

KABUL, Afghanistan, Aug. 26 (UPI) — The U.S. Air Force this week has delivered the final four of 27 MD-530 Cayuse Warrior helicopters to the Afghan air force in the capital city of Kabul.
The helicopters were flown to Afghanistan from Travis Air Force Base in California aboard a C-17 Globemaster III aircraft.
Like the previous shipment of five MD-530s in July, these newest helicopters have the capability to fire rockets or .50-caliber machine guns. They also have a new sighting system that wasn't on the initial 13 helicopters, according to Lt. Col. Bill Ashford, USAF 438th Air Expeditionary Advisory Squadron commander.
"The first 13 helicopters continue to be modified to support 2.75-inch rocket capabilities and add the improved sighting systems," he said.
The MD-530 is a light helicopter. It is operated by a one- or two-person crew, has a maximum speed of 175 miles per hour, and a range of 375 miles.
"The MD-530s are flying multiple missions a day across Afghanistan," said Ashford. "They are often engaged in providing aerial escort to convoys, providing over-watch to ANDSF operations and responding to 'troops in contact' situations."

At the time Asian Paints (AP) entered the Indian paint business, distribution was the most crucial task for any new entrant. Both physical distribution and channel management posed formidable challenges. The foreign companies and their wholesale distributors dominated the business. The foreign companies appointed a few traders as their wholesale distributors and allowed them to perpetuate a situation of monopoly. Each distributor was assigned a large territory and was given the right to operate as the exclusive channel of the company in the assigned territory. The trade terms were also very liberal.
The companies also extended virtually unlimited credit to the distributors. The credits outstanding for the supplies made throughout the year were required to be settled by the wholesale distributors only at the year end.
These distributors had neither the compulsion nor the motivation to invest in distribution infrastructure. They were not required to move out to semi-urban and rural areas. They concentrated on big cities where they could make the sales without much investment in distribution infrastructure and market development. Also, they were shutting the doors on any new paint company seeking an entry into the business. In other words, these distributors controlled the paint business and were making it impossible for a new paint company to enter and establish itself in the business.
AP sized up the scenario correctly and formulated a unique distribution strategy. In the normal course, a firm entering the industry in this scenario would have opted for the low risk strategy of gaining a limited access to the wholesale traders and be satisfied with a small share of the existing business. But AP went in for a strategy that differed totally from the existing pattern. AP's strategy, in fact, meant the polar opposite of the established/existing pattern.
AP bypasses the bulk buyer segment and goes to individual consumers; Bulk buyer segment was the major segment of the paint business in the earlier days and any paint company needed a share of this major segment for sheer survival.
Elements of AP's Distribution Strategy:
* AP bypassed the bulk buyer segment and want to indi0vidual consumers of paints.
* AP went slow on urban areas and concentrated on semi-urban and rural areas.
* AP went retail
* AP went in for an open-door dealer policy.
* AP voted for nationwide marketing/distribution.
Though this segment was dominated totally by foreign companies and their wholesale distributors, a new entrant to the business like AP would normally have rushed to this segment and tried to garner a share of it. AP, however, had a totally different game plan seeing that this segment was not a growth segment, though it was certainly the major segment at the point of time. AP, decided to ignore this segment for the present and go to individual consumers. And that was a crucial decision. It influenced every subsequent decision AP took in the realm of distribution. Over time, AP proved to the paint industry that there existed a large and bottomless segment in the paint business of India, outside the bulk buyer segment, comprising of individual consumers.

" I remember growing up and sewing with my mother at a very young age. With 8 siblings, we had to keep the quilts going to keep warm. Not only in temperature but with the heart as well, It is just something I have always loved. In 1981, I begin to work for a corporate embroidery operation out of Bonner Springs, Ks. While working my way up, I always had that warm vision of working for myself. In 1994, I began the journey of Sunflower Embroidery in the basement of my home. As time went by and business began to grow, I was able to venture out into my own building and have been very thankful that I was able to continue to do what I love the most...sew"

Hello! I'm getting ready to apply for a 5 day trip from 7/20 to 7/24 for four people. Our fitness levels are varied, so I'm trying to keep mileage low with opportunity for day hikes and chilling on short days. My current trip options are below.
1) Is there potential problem hiking Stoney Indian Pass on 7/22? I can't book the Stoney Indian campsite for advanced reservations since it opens 8/1 - what's the process of possibly changing things if it opens?
2) Opinions about two routes being enough - thoughts on my chances? Any similar options that I'm missing? A lot of routes are limited by 8/1 opening (gunsight I think is impossible to book advanced with these dates at all?) and not wanting to deal with the western transportation hassle.
3) Should I be concerned at all with parking at CME and AFE trailheads to start the trip? Will probably arrive pretty early in the morning for each.
3) Any suggestions on more ideal trip tweaks
Trip Option #1 - Chief Mountain to Goat Haunt stopping over at Janet
- Total 35-43 miles, 5K-6K ft over 5 days (depending on ferry availability)
CME trailhead > Mokowanis Lake MOL > Kootenai KOO > Lake Janet JAN > Goat Haunt > Ferry if open > Chief Mountain Connector Shuttle
Looking to get in a little bit of western reaches by camping at Lake Janet, with enough flexibility built into the tail end of the trip to allow for the hike all the way up to Waterton if the ferry isn't running.
Trip Option #2 - Red Gap Pass Ptarmigan Loop
- Total 30 miles, ~7K ft over 5 days
AFE trailhead > Poia Lake POI > Elizabeth Lake Head ELH > Rest day > Rest Day & hike to Elizabeth Lake Foot ELF > back to car at AFE trailhead

Top Supplier Retail 2019
The following service providers and suppliers were honoured as a "Top Retail Supplier 2019" from EHI Retail Institute and Lebensmittel Zeitung.
We thank the vendor companies for supporting the retailers in their outstanding projects.
Best Customer Experience
Technology from Scandit Computer Vision enables customers to see price information on their smartphones using augmented reality (AR). They can scan multiple items simultaneously. Information is transmitted to them personally while they shop, and since they can use their own devices it all takes place right at the store shelf. Direct, correct price information increases customer satisfaction. All of the functions are contained in the Metro companion app, the mobile touchpoint developed especially for Metro customers.
Edeka Paschmann offers its customers a "scan & go" experience. After downloading snabble, an app, they can start making purchases right away with their smartphones. Prior registration is not necessary. Scanned products land in the digital shopping cart, and the total bill is always visible. Customers then pay at the self-checkout terminal without having to scan the items again. This saves them a lot of time because they don't have to queue at the checkout and put their purchases on the belt. Soon it will be possible for all customers to pay online with the app and get a digital receipt. An additional software tool helps prevent theft. Store employees can check for inventory discrepancies without interfering with shoppers.
Best Instore Solution
Geolocated digital price tags from SES-imagotag make it possible to determine the exact locations of all products. Security cameras watch for out-of-stock items and report empty shelves. Problem areas in the store are displayed on a digital map so that products are never out of stock. Shelf Watch identifies articles that have been wrongly placed by keeping track of every digital price label and the product associated with it. By spotting empty shelves and making sure they are refilled, the system ensures a better customer experience. In addition, retailers save a lot of time thanks to automatic detection.
Together with T-Systems, Edeka Jänecke implemented a project that combined store modernisation and digitalisation. Modernisation included giving the store a fresh look and introducing attractions like a juice bar and sushi bar. Digitalisation focused on improving the customer experience and optimising internal processes. The status of the store was analysed and a digital plan was worked out. A fast broadband connection was put in place to give customers Wi-Fi access. Thanks to the digital system the store is now able to analyse its customer flow. It also implemented a mobile software solution for its employees. Additional solutions like intelligent shopping carts are already being planned.
Customers use an app that was specially developed for Saturn. They can use it to scan the QR codes of the items they want to buy and pay for them directly by credit card or PayPal. RFID technology protects against theft. Each article in the store has a unique ID in the form of an RFID tag. RFID gates at the exit read the status of each article and determine whether it has been paid for. The store has no checkout counters; customers can pay only with the app, which also deactivates tags on the merchandise. This gives employees time to help customers. Saturn Express was tested as a pop-up-store over a period of three months in Innsbruck, Austria.
Best Enterprise Solution
Wholesaler and grocery specialist Metro is using state-of-the-art open-source technology to set up a new IT infrastructure that is independent of software and hardware suppliers. To do this, it has developed a distributed micro-service infrastructure that combines NoSQL databases, a blockchain and a distributed file system. Developed in collaboration with Deepshore, the system is completely infrastructure-independent. It doesn't matter what cloud computing platform is used – Azure, Google Cloud, Amazon AWS or On Premises – as long as modern container tools (such as Docker) can be processed in a Kubernetes environment. And nowadays this is a standard cloud function.
Blue Yonder
Fashion retailer bonprix has chosen the price optimisation software Blue Yonder to improve its sales and margins. Data are the key to remaining competitive, so the company wanted to gain valuable insights via machine learning to optimize its pricing processes. The retailer decided to move away from rigid price-conversion tables to an automated AI-based solution. The AI-based technology is now allowing bonprix to set prices across its international markets and product ranges automatically. Within one year bonprix implemented the pricing solution in six of its most important markets. The new price optimization solution has resulted in an increase in revenue as well as profit.
Checkpoint and Iper have launched the Connectivity project, which has three interlinked components. Checkpoint Smart Control permits regular, automatic function checks of each EAS system in Iper's stores. Iper chose the applications Smart Analytics and Smart Counter in order to achieve better data transparency for its head offices and meet additional security requirements. Smart Analytics records and analyses historical data from the installed EAS systems. Smart Counter measures customer flows and generates sales reports that include security incidents and statistical data on customers.
Best Omnichannel Solution
Diebold Nixdorf
Ikea and Diebold Nixdorf have set up a cloud-based infrastructure. All customer transactions, whether from e-commerce or the retail checkout, are stored and processed in the cloud. The data are used for sales campaigns, click & collect, returns, digital receipts and other purposes. The new service makes it possible to analyse customers' purchasing behaviour both in the store and online. In this way Ikea can find out why customers decide to visit a store or why, instead, they prefer to shop online. The company can thus learn more about what is necessary to enhance the shopping experience.
GK Software
Tally Weijl wants to connect with its customers through all channels, online and offline, in order to secure their brand loyalty. The SAP Omnichannel POS solution from GK Software makes this possible. It provides central, real-time control for all countries and covers omnichannel processes in the stores, in the online shop and on customers' smartphones. The system offers a wide range of payment methods, efficient delivery of products wherever they are ordered and simple handling of returned goods. Home delivery, click & collect and instore ordering are also fully integrated.
Working with Sunrise Technology, Kroger has developed EDGE, or Enhanced Display for Grocery Environments, an IoT solution based on Microsoft Azure. The display enhances the shopping experience for customers and makes the sales process more efficient. EDGE supplies real-time dynamic content to customers, such as promotions in the store or online shop. When new information comes in, it can be transferred to the displays in just a few steps. In addition, EDGE provides a digital platform in the cloud for marketing campaigns. Advertising space can be sold online and displayed via EDGE in the store.

Take a chair.
That, in brief, is William Peterson's pitch. And thanks to some tough management moves and a good market, he has brought 70-year-old folding chair manufacturer Clarin, a division of Greenwich Industries L.P., back from the brink of collapse.
"The dealer network had pretty much lost faith, and when they lose faith they stop selling," says Mr. Peterson, president of the Lake Bluff-based company, which he and several partners acquired three years ago. "It was a significant effort to breathe life back into the thing."
Clarin, with 75 employees and $8 million in sales, is by no means a household name. On the other hand, its folding chairs are found in auditoriums, schools, churches and the like throughout the country.
Among noteworthy Clarin customers: Madison Square Garden, the Salt Palace in Salt Lake City and the Astrodome. Posh Carnegie Hall has some, too. The Chicago Park District owns 20,000 of them. When Indiana University basketball coach Bobby Knight made national news by throwing a folding chair on the court, that was a Clarin chair.
Mr. Peterson, a self-anointed "turnaround guy," traces his job at Clarin to Chicago-area banker Gary Edidin. Mr. Peterson had been president of Mr. Edidin's Bank of Chicago in the Uptown neighborhood during the mid-1980s, but by the '90s, he was working on the resurrection and sale of a California-based electronics firm to a British conglomerate.
Mr. Edidin had been introduced to Clarin by local auto-finance entrepreneurs Robert and Alvin Doppelt, who discovered the company on the eve of a planned sheriff's sale.
The four put together a partnership to acquire Clarin's assets, as well as buy out its secured lenders. He says he and his partners have pumped more than $4 million into the firm.
Mr. Peterson's first move was to clean house among the sales and administrative staff. Of the 25 office workers when he took over, only three remain, by his count. However, he says he let go only a handful of the company's 50-some production workers.
Meanwhile, Mr. Peterson was working to fill a backlog of orders that had built up under the former owners. Clarin ran 60-hour weeks for his first five months-a whirlwind compared with its current four-day, 40-hour-a-week production schedule.
"You must serve your customers, so we ran like hell to fill those orders," Mr. Peterson says. "Many were done at low margins, and some we lost money on."
In its first full year under new ownership, Clarin sales-inflated by the backlog-hit $7.5 million. Sales were down 7% last year, but Mr. Peterson expects to hit $8 million in 1996. "And that's a conservative $8 million," he says.
Clarin stands to receive a boost from strong growth in the convention and stadium market. For example, Clarin last year sold 3,000 chairs-in the Boston Bruins hockey team's black and gold-to the new Boston Garden. And Mr. Peterson is pursuing a local opportunity: the $1-billion McCormick Place expansion.
"It's been a relatively stable market over the long haul, but during the last several years, there has been a constant increase," says John Swinburne, president of the International Assn. of Auditorium Managers, based in Irving, Texas. "It appears that will be continuing over the next several years, although maybe not at the same pace."
Mr. Peterson also has tried to diversify Clarin's sales by targeting the government. He expects government sales to top $1.5 million this year, up from a "mere pittance" two years ago.
Like any good turnaround guy, Mr. Peterson has an exit strategy.
"The ideal exit is always a public offering, which would allow us to move to the next level, so to speak," he says.
But Mr. Peterson concedes that Clarin will have to get bigger to attract the attention of retail investors-maybe through acquisitions-which means he won't have much time to sit around.
"There are a lot of opportunities out there," he says.
Half the people who drive leased vehicles do not plan to renew their leases at the end of the term, a new study shows.
The results suggest that manufacturers can't depend on leasing to keep customers in new vehicles, said Jim Thomas, vice-president of Strategic Research & Consulting Inc., the Princeton, N.J., research firm that conducted the study, which was based on surveys of 14,000 lessees at the middle or end of the lease term.
"Our studies always show that when people first get into leasing, the majority aren't even thinking like lessees, (because) they are so used to retail," said Kim Carlson, manager of Ford Motor Credit Co.'s Red Carpet Lease program. "A large part of our training is to make sure people understand the pure advantages of leasing."
Renewals climb as high as 80% with dealership training, said Eustace Wolfington, president of Half-A-Car of Wynnewood, Pa., which trains dealers to sell leasing.
At General Motors Acceptance Corp., the average lease term is 32 months. Dealers can expect 60% renewals if they contact customers before the lease expires, said George Reganis, director of Smart Lease sales. Renewals can dip below 50% if the dealer fails to follow up.
But "our experience is that, if a dealer manages his lease portfolio and follows up with the customer in the last 60 days of the lease, the renewal rate can be as high as 80%," he added.

Kudlow Stresses the Positive on China and Trade
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
The stock market is rallying today after U.S. officials tabled a trade war with China. But it's hard to tell if anything has actually changed.
The S&P 500 has climbed 0.9% to 2736.63 after Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said on Sunday that a trade war with China was "on hold." But National Economic Council Director Larry Kudlow said the U.S. wasn't throwing out tariffs altogether.
"Tariffs are suspended right now, as per Mr. Mnuchin. That's a good thing," the director of the National Economic Council told CNBC. "But you cannot remove tariffs as a negotiating tool or an enforcement tool from this process. You cannot do that. And therefore, I don't think we're saying tariffs are over. Far from it."
Kudlow's comments demonstrate progress on the learning curve: He isn't stepping into the same trap twice.
When he started at the White House, he was thrown in the middle of a tense situation. President Donald Trump had said he would put tariffs on $50 billion worth of Chinese goods, and then China announced the same back. On April 4, a reporter asked Kudlow whether Trump's tariff proposals were just a negotiating tactic and would never go into effect, and he said, "Yes, it's possible. It's part of the process."
And then the stock market surged, because the tariffs looked like empty threats. Kudlow later said he doesn't like blanket tariffs, but he does approve of strategic, targeted tariffs, especially as points of leverage.
Here are some other recent comments:
- Sunday, on ABC's "This Week": "There was a consensus on taking effective measures to substantially reduce the United States' trade deficit in goods with China. That's the key point. And here's the second key point, they are offering to make structural reforms, such as lower tariffs and lowering nontariff barriers, which will permit us to export billions and billions more goods to China....We made a lot of progress here in Washington and built on what happened in China a couple weeks back. The president is in a very positive mood about this. So, I myself, am very encouraged, because...this is good for growth. This helps our farmers, this helps our ranchers, this helps our businesses."
- Also: "There's no agreement for a deal. We never anticipated one. There's a communiqué between the two great countries, that's all."
- On Friday: "China's come to trade.... They are meeting many of our demands. There's no deal yet, to be sure. It's probably going to take a while. It's a process. But they're coming to play. I believe they want to make a deal."
- Earlier this month, to Barron's: "Meeting the Chinese delegation was quite interesting—I think they want to do a deal. How's that? Not everyone in this building agrees, although my pal Steve Mnuchin agrees. I have odd reasons, like anecdotal reasons. Because we didn't settle anything. And I didn't expect to…. The meetings were much more respectful and—we weren't best friends by any stretch—much more respectful and constructive than we feared.... I don't want to raise expectations that we'll get anything [done]. But, you know, talking is not bad. And optimism is not bad. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin agrees with me on this. We have similar views. I mean, this is more impressionistic. But we have work to do."
"Impressionistic" is a useful concept here. Kudlow's most powerful skills in this administration—his fluidity and his enduring optimism—help him navigate the turbulent environment cultivated by Trump.
Kudlow is a master of the ambient multi-answer, providing a color field of comments that help shield against accountability. Scattering many answers in a variety of directions helps to pave a trail, so that whatever direction things end up going, it looks like they meant to go that way.

Hull u-turn sees Mclean join Ipswich instead of Millwall
MILLWALL have missed out on the signing of Aaron Mclean after Hull City decided to loan the striker to Ipswich Town instead at the eleventh hour.
The Lions had agreed to pay Mclean's wages and a substantial loan fee to the Tigers but Tractor Boys boss Mick McCarthy hijacked the deal on Friday morning.
It is understood Hull were wary of loaning a fringe player to a potential play-off rival, with Millwall only nine points behind the Humberside club in the Championship table.
Chief executive Andy Ambler told NewsAtDen: "We've got to respect the fact that clubs around us might think twice about loaning their players to us because of our league position.
"It makes bringing in better players more difficult but that's something we're working on."

Kansas City Star: Groundhog Run attracts its biggest crowd
When it was just about over Sunday morning, an hour and a half after the second and final race of the day had started, race director LeRoy Unruh revealed the turnout for the 28th annual Groundhog Run.
"It's the biggest ever," he said, turning to another race worker for confirmation. "We've never had 3,000 finishers in this race."
Nearly 1,900 runners had crossed the finish line in the 5-kilometer run, while another 1,100 had completed the 10K as runners flocked to the underground Hunt Midwest SubTropolis for an escape from the winter cold.
"It's good for serious runners who want to do a race indoors during the winter, because you can't do much else," said Gina Morgan, the top women's finisher in the 10K. "It's very unique."
That it is — according to its Web site, the Groundhog Run is believed to be the biggest organized underground run in the country — and that's what keeps luring eager runners to the SubTropolis each winter. From across the metro area and beyond. ...
... The Groundhog Run benefits the Children's Therapeutic Learning Center, which serves young children with disabilities and their families.
A little know fact about Kansas City is its underground storage facilities. I think K. C. has more underground business and storage square footage than any city in the U. S. The entrance to one of these facilities is about a quarter mile from my house. I wonder if they'll ever turn any of these cave locations into condos?

Me: "I can't decide whether to make you a banana cake or a chocolate cake for your birthday. You like them both so much!"
Hubby: "Hmmm, yes that's a hard one. Can I have both?"
Me: "A layer cake! Great idea!"
(Hubby looks confused).
Me: "I'll make both, then put them on top of each other, sandwiched together with icing!"
(Hubby raises his eyebrows and smiles).
Me: "What kind of icing do you want?"
Hubby: (Zero hesitation) "Vanilla".
Me: "OK (boring!). Which cake do you want to be the top layer?"
Hubby: "Chocolate, obviously. Because banana is chocolate's bitch".
(We both laugh).
But in the end he just got a chocolate cake with vanilla icing (with a coconut twist!) because the bananas I bought weren't ripe enough. They weren't even ripe enough to eat on top of muesli, let alone flavour a cake as the main ingredient!
As it was a special birthday cake I tweaked one of my usual chocolate cake recipes to make it super rich (375g of chocolate!) and moist with the addition of walnuts and coconut.
It is baked low and slow so that the centre stays fudgey, while the edges go crispy with an almost caramel taste, thanks to a big cup of dark brown sugar in the mix.
It really doesn't need the sweet creamy icing, but what's a birthday cake without icing? That's right, it's nothing. Feel free to leave the icing off and serve with whipped cream, that would be an awesome combo – but not if it's a birthday cake. Birthday cakes need icing, OK?!
Oh, I almost forgot. I used a little pressie I received this week to make it – a Push Pan. This little beauty is a loose bottomed cake tin with a unique silicon seal that makes it water tight – no more leakages!
I just love the way you pop the finished cake on a tin from the pantry and push down to release the it. I was amazed that it actually was that simple – see picture above. No bits that stuck and no need to run a knife around the edge at all. I need to try a cheesecake next, you know, just to make sure their claims are true (not because I want to gorge on cheesecake).
Do you like cooking birthday cakes, or do you prefer to buy them?
Fig & Cherry received the Push Pan with compliments of Filtered Communications (thanks Lisa!). The Push Pan is distributed in Australia by Peter McInnes Pty Ltd.
Chocolate cake with coconut and walnuts
serves 8-10
- 125g unsalted butter
- 375g dark chocolate
- 100g (1 cup) walnuts
- 30g (1/2 cup) moist coconut flakes (or desiccated coconut)
- 175g (1 cup) dark brown sugar
- 110g (1/2 cup) plain (all purpose) flour
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 4 eggs
1. Heat the oven to 160C/320F. Grease and line a 20cm round cake tin.
2. Roughly chop the butter and chocolate and add to a bowl over a pan of simmering water. Allow to melt, stirring occasionally, until smooth and glossy. Make sure the bowl doesn't touch the water as it will make the chocolate seize and it won't melt. Set the bowl on the bench.
3. Place the walnuts and coconut in a food processor and blitz to small crumbs. Add to the chocolate along with the sugar, flour and milk and whisk to combine.
4. Add the eggs, one at a time, whisking well after each addition. Pour the mixture into the cake tin and bake for 60 mins or until a skewer inserted at the edge comes out relatively clean and a skewer inserted in the centre comes out with moist mixture attached. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack so that the centre has time to firm up, then top with vanilla and coconut buttercream icing (recipe below).
Vanilla and coconut buttercream
- 250g icing sugar
- 150g unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (preferably one with the seeds left in)
- 2 teaspoons hot water
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut essence
1. Sift the icing sugar really well (you don't want any lumps in your icing!). Beat the icing sugar and butter together using an electric mixer or balloon whisk until the consistency of soft whipped cream.
2. Whisk in the vanilla, hot water and essence. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to firm up slightly. Use to ice the cake with a pallet knife or piping bag.
