Use webhooks to notify your apps when specific activities occur in Webex Teams.
A webhook is an HTTP callback, or an HTTP POST, to a specified URL that notifies your app when a particular activity or "event" has occurred in one of your resources on the Webex Teams platform. The benefit of using webhooks is that they allow your application to receive real-time data from Webex Teams, so you can keep up with the state of your resources (i.e. rooms, messages, memberships, etc.).
For instance, let's say you want to be notified when someone posts a message in a room that you're interested in. You can create a webhook to have Webex Teams notify you whenever new messages are posted into that room. So, instead of your app having to make repeated calls to the API to determine if a new message has been posted into the room, the webhook will automatically notify you of their occurrence.
Webhooks work well for your integrations and bots. For example, let's say that you are creating a weather bot for Webex Teams where users can ask your bot for the weather forecast in any city. You would want to use webhooks to let your app know when someone has sent a new weather request to your app. Your app can then take action, such as looking up the weather forecast for the requested city, and sending it back to the user.
You can create, or register, a webhook, via the Webex Teams Webhooks API, to subscribe to the events in Webex Teams that you would like to receive notifications for.
For information about Incoming Webhooks, where you can send information to Webex Teams from outside services, see the Incoming Webhooks Integration by Cisco Systems in the Webex App Hub.
To learn more about webhooks and how to create them, keep reading. For a step-by-step tutorial that shows you how to create a webhook, see Experiment with Webex Teams Webhooks Cisco DevNet Learning Lab.
anchorWebex Teams Webhooksanchor
You can use the Webex API to create a new webhook, to update an existing webhook, or to delete a webhook once it's no longer needed.
When you create a webhook for a particular event, the notification data will be sent as an HTTP POST, in JSON format, to a URL of your choosing, each time it is triggered. Please note, that this URL must be publicly reachable and Internet-accessible by Webex Teams, where your application will be listening for inbound HTTP requests. A response is also required from the web server for delivery. If Webex Teams does not receive a successful HTTP response in the 2xx range from the server, your webhook will be disabled after 100 failed attempts within a five minute period.
In order to create a webhook for a resource, make sure that the auth token has a read scope for that resource. For example, to create a webhook that receives messages, the application must have the
spark:messages_read scope enabled. Likewise, to create a webhook for notification of membership changes to a room, the application must have the
spark:memberships_read scope. For more information on auth scopes and how to enable them, see Scopes.
anchorFiltering Webhooksanchor
In order to narrow down the data that you receive from webhooks, you can add filters to your webhooks. To do this, you can create a webhook for a resource that applies to an event, and then add a filter or a combination of filters to send you only notification content that is based on the added filter restrictions. For example, you can register a webhook for a membership resource and then add filters so that the webhook only applies to a specific room, by using the
roomId or
roomType filter.
You can also use more than one filter in a webhook. To use multiple filters, combine them with the "&" symbol. For example, to create a webhook that only sends notifications when a specific person performs an action in a specific room, such as sending a message or creating a membership, combine the
personEmail and
roomId filters:
For a list of available filters you can use, see "Resources, Events & Filters" below.
You can only use ID filters for resources you have access to. If you do not have access to a particular resource or ID filter, you will receive an error (such as
invalid value for filter: roomId) from the API.
Alternatively, Webhooks also support what is commonly known as a "firehose" or "wildcard" webhook, which allows your app to subscribe to several commonly-used resources and/or events with a single webhook. For more information, see The Firehose Webhook.
Resources, Events, & Filters
Below is a table of Webex Teams events which webhooks can monitor for a given resource, the actions that will trigger these events, and the various filters you can add to narrow down the specific event notifications you would like to receive. Use an "&" between each filter to combine them.

anchorThe Firehose Webhookanchor
The Webhooks resource supports what is commonly known as a "firehose" or "wildcard" webhook, which allows your app to subscribe to all events from several commonly-used resources with a single webhook. There are two types of firehoses. One is a "single resource firehose" and the other is an "all resource" firehose.
The following resources support firehose webhooks: memberships, messages, and rooms.
Single Resource Firehose
A single resource firehose webhook will send a notification for any event using all activities as a trigger for a given resource type. For example, to subscribe to
all events for the
messages resource, your app can create a webhook as shown below:
"name": "Messages Firehose",
"targetUrl": "https://example.com/message-events",
"resource": "messages",
"event": "all"
All Resource Firehose
An all resource firehose webhook will send a notification for any event for all supported resource types. The following resources will be included in the "all resource" firehose: memberships, messages, and rooms.
For example, to subscribe to all events that occur on all supported resources, create a webhook with the resource set to
all and the event set to
all as shown below:
"name": "Awesome Bot Webhook Firehose",
"targetUrl": "https://example.com/spark-events",
"resource": "all",
"event": "all"
Creating a webhook for
all resources requires that you have read scopes for all supported resources: memberships, messages, and rooms.
anchorCreating a Webhookanchor
To begin receiving platform events, you first need to register a webhook with Webex Teams. To create a webhook, make an HTTP POST to
/webhooks with some basic information as shown in the example below:
"name": "New message in 'Project Unicorn' room",
"targetUrl": "https://example.com/spark-hook",
"resource": "messages",
"event": "created",
"filter": "roomId=Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vYmJjZWIxYWQtNDNmMS0zYjU4LTkxNDctZjE0YmIwYzRkMTU0"
Request Parameters
|A label to remember why it was created. Use it for whatever purpose you'd like.
|Tell Webex Teams where you'd like to receive platform events. See the following Handling Requests from Webex Teams section for detailed information about the webhook request format and best practices for scaling your infrastructure.
|Indicates the noun being observed and will generally match the plural form of one of the Webex Teams APIs (i.e. messages).
|Further narrows the events by specifying the action that would trigger a notification to your backend.
|A set of filtering critera. Generally speaking, webhook filters will be a subset of the query parameters available when GETing a list of the target resource. It is an optional property. To add multiple filters, separate them with the "&" symbol. For more information about filters, see Filtering Webhooks.
|An optional field used to generate a payload signature. See Handling Requests from Webex Teams for more information.
A valid OAuth token is only required to create a webhook. As long as the webhook receives a successful HTTP response it will run indefinitely, even if the OAuth token has expired. However, since initial webhook notifications only contain metadata and encrypted information, sensitive data will always remain secure. See Handling Requests from Webex Teams for more information.
anchorHandling Requests from Webex Teamsanchor
When one of your webhooks is triggered by an event, Webex Teams will send an HTTP POST to the backend
targetUrl that you've specified. The body of the POST will look something like this:
"id": "Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1dFQkhPT0svZjRlNjA1NjAtNjYwMi00ZmIwLWEyNWEtOTQ5ODgxNjA5NDk3",
"name": "New message in 'Project Unicorn' room",

The first few properties shown above are called the "envelope." They identify all webhooks that are sent. This envelope contains the following information:
|The webhook ID. This is the same ID returned when you created the webhook and is what you would use to view the webhook configuration or delete the webhook.
|The name you gave your webhook when you created it.
|The resource the webhook data is about.
|The type of event this webhook is for.
|Lists any filters that you applied that triggered this webhook.
|The organization that owns the webhook. This usually is the organization the user that added the webhook belongs to. This ID can be used to view the Organization details with the API.
personId of the user that added the webhook.
|The ID of the Webex Teams app that was used to create the webhook. This could be one of your apps, an app from the Webex App Hub, a privately developed app, or this Webex for Developers site if the webhook was created with your personal access token.
|Indicates if the webhook is owned by the org or the creator. Webhooks owned by the creator can only receive events that are accessible to the creator of the webhook. Those owned by the organization will receive events that are visible to anyone in the organization.
|Indicates if the webhook is active. A webhook that cannot reach your URL is disabled. Thus, for all webhooks you receive, the status will always read 'active.'
personId of the user that caused the webhook to be sent. For example, on a messsage created webhook, the author of the message will be the actor. On a membership deleted webhook, the actor is the person who removed a user from a room.
|Contains the JSON representation of the resource that triggered the webhook. Note: the
data property's
id is not the same ID as the webhook ID. For more information about the
data property, see Handling Requests from Webex Teams below.
Using the Data Property
The webhook's
data property contains the JSON representation of the resource event that triggered the webhook. For example, if you created a webhook that triggers when
messages are
created (i.e. posted into a room), then the
data property will contain the JSON representation for a message resource, as specified in the Messages API documentation.
If the webhook's resource event contains sensitive data, the data property will only contain "metadata" about the event. See "Handling Sensitive Data" below for more information about how to retrieve the entire resource.
Handling Sensitive Data
Webex Teams encrypts sensitive room content such as titles and message text using keys only available to the members of that room. This means that not even the Webex Teams operations team can read your messages, making it one of the most secure communications platforms on the planet. This level of security has a subtle impact on webhooks.
You'll notice in the above message webhook example that the
text property is missing. That's because room messages are considered sensitive information and since Webex Teams initiated the request to your backend, it did not have your Access Token with which to decrypt the message. In order to get the sensitive information, your app needs to use the resource
id to fetch the full resource. Using the above messages example, your app could fetch the complete message object along with the text by doing an authenticated (via your Bearer Token) GET request to
/messages/{id} as shown below:
"id": "Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL01FU1NBR0UvMzIzZWUyZjAtOWFhZC0xMWU1LTg1YmYtMWRhZjhkNDJlZjlj",
"roomId": "Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1JPT00vYmJjZWIxYWQtNDNmMS0zYjU4LTkxNDctZjE0YmIwYzRkMTU0",
"personId": "Y2lzY29zcGFyazovL3VzL1BFT1BMRS9mNWIzNjE4Ny1jOGRkLTQ3MjctOGIyZi1mOWM0NDdmMjkwNDY",
"personEmail": "firstname.lastname@example.com",
"text": "Something interesting and potentially sensitive",
"created": "2015-12-04T17:33:56.767Z"
Authenticating Requests
Webhooks require that the Webex Teams Cloud be able to reach your backend over HTTP. One common question from enterprise IT is how to authenticate that a request is coming from Cisco. We are continuously adding infrastructure to the Webex Teams Cloud so only listing IPs that are allowed is not practical. To solve this, we introduced a technique for cryptographically verifying the JSON payload based on a shared secret of your choosing.
When creating a webhook you can now supply a
secret parameter. If specified, every message sent to your backend will contain a new HTTP header called
X-Spark-Signature containing an HMAC-SHA1 signature of the JSON payload.
secret parameter can be specified when creating a webhook.
anchorDisabled Webhooksanchor
A webhook's
targetUrl specifies the server endpoint that will receive the webhook payload. If Webex Teams attempts to deliver 100 webhook notifications within five minutes and the server either becomes unreachable or does not respond with a successful HTTP code in the 2xx range, the webhook will be disabled. Once a webhook is disabled, it will not be reenabled automatically.
To see the current status of a webhook, use the Get Webhook Details API endpoint. To reactivate a disabled webhook, use the Update a Webhook API endpoint with the
status parameter set to 'active'.
Before reenabling a disabled webhook, ensure that any issues which prevented successful delivery have been corrected. Webhooks reenabled within five minutes of being automatically disabled will have a lower threshold for delivery problems. During this period, if the server becomes unreachable or does not respond with a successful HTTP code, the webhook will be immediately disabled again.

SP: One of the many things I LOVE about your label is that although you're technically plus size, it's not the be all and end all of the clothes. They are more fashion forward than anything else.
SJ: LaLA doesn't fit into the stereotype of plus size clothing. LaLA is a design driven, plus size clothing label, that caters to a more contemporary market that represents the kind of lifestyles we lead.
My focus is what I want to wear as a plus size woman. My taste and the way I design is what is perceived as "fashion forward".
SP: Tell me about the background of this?
SJ: I didn't know plus size was going to be my world until I was offered a job at The Carpenters Daughter. Caroline Marr rang me and offered me a job after my graduating show at university.
At university plus size didn't seem like an option, it wasn't a norm. There weren't many plus size designers, plus size models, or visibility. When we showed at Fashion Week 2009 it was one of the first times that plus size had shown in the World, let alone New Zealand.
SP: You know I love your FAT tees – tell us about this. What made you make plus size tees with the word FAT on them?
SJ: The FAT tee was created as a confronting statement of a descriptive word. FAT as a word is so discriminatory, it is loaded with so many negative connotations and causes so many people so much pain. I feel like wearing the word FAT boldly spelled out on a t-shirt shoves it back in the face of judgmental people. Take the power back, and be liberated.
SP: How did you become such an advocate for body love? Where did it all begin?
SJ: I think I truly started to look at my body differently when I was working at The Carpenter's Daughter. I've always had confidence in myself because I had confidence in my brain and my abilities. Watching Caroline and being a part of that community gave me a new sense of self and self-worth and a different perception of beauty. I worked with women of all shapes, sizes, and ethnicities in all walks of life and it changed my total perception of beauty. I was allowed to be myself, I wasn't being judged.
SP: And tell me about fat yoga? What's the concept behind that?
SJ: In America and Australia, there's been an increase of fat yoga classes and I thought "why the hell can't I make this happen in New Zealand for my community?" It took about six months to find a yoga teacher, then I found Kristina and she got why I wanted to call it fat yoga instead of 'fluffy body positive yoga'. We are creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where FAT people can relate to the people around them. Our bodies move and make shapes differently and I think it important to have a space that caters specifically to this.
The term body positive is a bit too soft for me, for me 'fat' goes straight to the root of the issue. There is a big reclaiming of the word 'fat' in reaction to the body positive movement, because it's not quite enough. It's a pre-existing historical fight where 'fat' is quite a new concept because we own it. Fat people were historically seen as wealthy, privileged and the rich changed this because they wanted something elitist. In World War 1 and 2, the elite were fat, food and luxury were scarce. Then canned food came along and became more readily available for the poor. The poor became fatter, so the rich decided they needed something else to be 'elite'. That is when the media and advertising started, it has been pushed onto a trajectory and here we are. Fat has connotations with being lazy, poor or stupid. It is classist and racist. So many bad stereotypes that come with it. A great resource is The Militant Baker's Things No One Will Tell Fat Girls.
SP: Who inspires your creativity?
SJ: A good night's sleep. Coffee. When you're creative, you're just kind of naturally creative. You listen to your instincts.
SP: Who are your favorite designers/influences?
Sj:I admire what other designers do. I find it hard to relate to a lot of designers because I can't relate it to my body. I think people do really beautiful things and I don't discredit it. I look at the world differently and their work in an objective way because I don't think "ooh I wish I could have that", because I can't.
SP: What do you love most about what you do?
SJ: My LaLA babes. About how my designs change people's perceptions of themselves and make women feel good. LaLA is about changing the landscape of fashion.
SP: Lastly, I always ask everyone I interview what advice they would offer to up-and-comers. What would you suggest?
SJ: Work experience. Work in your industry, for free if you have to. Get a job, work in your industry, learn from mentors and employers and make the contacts as you go.

It's important for citizens to know if their representatives have dual citizenship because both real and apparent conflicts of interest erode public trust.
Are there any members of Congress who are dual citizens of the U.S. and another country? Possibly. In 2014, Senator Ted Cruz and then Representative Michelle Bachman attracted wide press coverage when they renounced their Canadian and Swiss nationalities respectively. Yet there is nothing in the public record that discloses the foreign citizenship of House and Senate members. Nor is there any legal requirement for members to make such a disclosure.
It seems that even the question of who is or may be a dual citizen presses a red button. Some years back I telephoned the DC office of one of my senators for help in identifying Members of Congress who hold dual citizenship. After a long pause, the response was unequivocal: "You are not entitled to that information!" The offices of my other senator and congressman were no more helpful, while two nonprofits promoting ethics in government failed to return my voice messages summarizing the issue.
Until the Supreme Court decided otherwise in the 1967 case of Afroyim v. Rusk, a U.S. citizen who voted in a political election in a foreign state would lose his or her U.S. citizenship. Afroyim removed that penalty. It made dual or multiple citizenship legally permissible.
Not all countries allow their citizens to obtain dual citizenship, perhaps because the loyalty it demands may create a potential conflict of interest. One nation that does make it relatively easy to become a dual national is Israel. Under its "Law of Return", every Jew has the right to come to Israel as an oleh (a Jew immigrating to Israel) and become an Israeli citizen. While the law seems to require an intention to reside permanently in Israel, that may not in fact be required of all who travel to Israel.
As part of his protest against the 2014 Gaza war that year, a Jewish-American n Massachusetts (Lenny Lapon) renounced the citizenship that he said Israel had conferred on him when he flew to Tel Aviv in October 2010. If this case is not exceptional, one or more Jewish members of Congress may similarly have acquired Israeli citizenship if and when they visited Israel. However, we don't know if any such member obtained Israeli citizenship; or renounced it if granted.
Before I am accused of anti-Semitism or a McCarthyite witch hunt, let me repeat: there is nothing illegal about dual citizenship for any American, including Members of Congress. Though some may argue that dual citizenship of Senators and Representatives carries an inherent conflict of interest that should require renunciation, my case here is simply for transparency—public disclosure of any dual or multiple citizenship. I single out Israel only because of the possibly automatic nature of its Law of Return. Transparency as to dual citizenship should be required of any Member of Congress who accepts another citizenship, regardless of country.
Religion and ethnicity are already a part of each Member's public profile.
Unlike citizenship, they pose no serious issue because neither identity conflicts with citizen loyalty to the U.S
So why is it important for citizens to know if any of their representatives in Congress is a dual citizen? Because both real and apparent conflicts of interest erode the public trust. When a Member of Congress speaks out in support of a policy that favors a country in which he or she holds citizenship, the public should be able to assess which loyalty motivates the speech.
The Congressional Research Service (CRS) maintains a detailed personal profile on each Member of Congress that includes age, political party, past occupations, education, religion, gender, ethnicity and military service.
If CRS would simply add "citizenship" to its list of profile categories, Americans could better judge where their representatives are coming from when they take a public stand on a foreign policy issue affecting a country where they have a citizenship tie. Such exposure would also help eliminate corrupting conflicts of interest.

Ask Yourself What Does Father's Day Really Mean to You
As I was sitting here going through facebook and thinking about all the things people have written about fathers and mothers and the one day that is set aside to honor them I thought of my own parents. They have been together for 64 years. My mother fell in love with my Dad when she was 13 years old riding a school bus. They lived a mile and a half from each other. She has loved him all of her life. He has loved her all of his life. Together they have raised five children and buried one. They have lost siblings and parents. They have been through ups and downs and bumps in the road. They both have survived cancer for 13 years. They raised a son who is challenged and he became a productive member of society. They have been blessed with 12 grandchildren and 13 great-grandchildren.
Their life has not been perfect but their love has. They taught their children how to love each other and how to make a marriage work. (Though some of ours didn't) They taught us unconditional love and that people are not perfect. They taught us that even those who are challenged have a place in this world. They believed in us even when we didn't.
The greatest gift our father gave his children is that he loves our mother- He is only happy when she is happy. He lives to take care of her and enhance her happiness. He has told me time and time again that the best part of his work day was coming home to his family.
No we are not a TV family. No we are not perfect, no my parents are not perfect (even though for years I thought they were) no the world is not perfect- but their love for each other and their children- grandchildren and great grandchildren if perfect. They love unconditionally.
If you would like an insight into just how perfect their love is how they raised us to love in that same vein how they taught that everyone has a place then you want to read Dream Catcher Failure Was Never an Option.
My mother and Dadn never gives up- She never gave up on my brother who is challenged. He is a success because of that.

Shure Previews Microflex® Complete Conferencing System
Shure Previews Microflex® Complete Conferencing System
Today, at InfoComm 2017 in Orlando, Shure previewed the new Microflex Complete integrated audio system for conferences and meetings. Available in wired and wireless configurations, it delivers natural, intelligible audio for participants in the room as well as remote attendees and advanced meeting productivity tools.
The Microflex Complete system includes a range of portable and flush-mount conferencing units that can be easily integrated into any room design, from contemporary meeting spaces to historic buildings. Each conferencing unit includes a microphone, loudspeaker, and controls, putting a compact but complete sound system close to the user for outstanding clarity in rooms of any size. A color touchscreen on selected models provides clear access to controls and meeting information.
A choice of automatic or managed microphone activation modes lets the system be tailored to match informal gatherings or agenda-driven meetings. Optional SW6000 software adds advanced capabilities like participant identification, agenda management, and electronic voting and polling that ensure efficient meetings even with hundreds of participants.
The Microflex Complete Wireless system overcomes cable limitations in rooms with flexible seating or in historic buildings where drilling holes in furniture is impractical. Automatic interference detection and avoidance technology delivers reliable transmission without signal dropouts, and robust AES-128 audio encryption keeps meeting content private. Each wireless conferencing unit is powered by a smart Lithium-Ion rechargeable battery, so its remaining charge (in hours and minutes) can be checked remotely by a technician.
Microflex Complete does away with unproductive meetings. It combines great audio with productivity tools like support for electronic voting and polling, agenda management, speaker identification, and language interpretation that support effective decision-making for 20 people or 2,000.

The 20-oughts was a tough decade for me and for my newspaper. A close friend and one of the best bosses I ever had died in a car wreck. A new editor proved to be a nightmare, and newsroom politics tore the staff apart. Editors came and went, but real leaders were scarce.
After three decades as a journalist, I accepted a buyout offer in December 2009, and left.
For a couple of months in this new decade, I reveled in my freedom and did little. But it's disorienting to be suddenly free. I panicked on a daily basis, applying for jobs indiscriminately.
What's missing here is structure, and God. While dwelling in purgatory for 10 years, I became an infrequent penpal to the Almighty. Scripture, once a primary source of sustenance, went unread. Prayer and worship were hollow. I began to think that God would soon decide that my life just wasn't worth the resources I was consuming.
I've decided to go back to the basics. The alarm is set at an early hour. I'm dressed, eating at the dining room table, performing chores on schedule. And I'm reading. This morning, I began the Old Testament book of Nehemiah. I thought I'd chosen it at random, but clearly it was chosen for me.
The walls around the city of Jerusalem had been destroyed by its enemies, and the Jewish people who had returned there from exile eked out a demoralized existence. Without city walls, they were vulnerable to attack. And living surrounded by the demolished remains destroyed any sense of pride.
Nehemiah, a cupbearer to the Persian king and a man of prayer, mourned for his kin in Jerusalem when he heard the details of their lives. The king noticed his sadness and, in what must have been a huge sign of respect for this servant, asked what was up. Nehemiah prayed, then explained. Soon, he was on his way to Jerusalem, not only with the king's blessing, but with access to the king's trees that would be needed to rebuild the holy city's walls.
I have much more to read in Nehemiah, but I'm grateful to my God, who recognizes when a lowly servant needs lifting up. It's time to rebuild, in a way that will honor Him.

Meriden, Connecticut, United States Team Members Tagged MSPs Categories Windows Email Databases Software Following a new enterprise agreement, our organization migrated from non-Microsoft products to a full Microsoft suite. Novell servers were replaced, eDirectory was supplanted by Active Directory, SQL Server took the place of Oracle on the back-end for most (not all) of our database needs, and XP replaced it's aging NT4 cousin. This is long, hard slog that almost anyone who worked in IT during the 90s and early 2000s has done at least twice. It's grueling, but so rewarding in the end because the results really are worth the effort. Productivity goes up, visibility increases, and our staff have an integrated environment. Of the products, it's a tough call between which is biggest challenge to migrate. We began with operating systems on the desktop - XP rollouts were a simple way to speed performance and make people see what IT transformation can be like - it's building mind-share and winning hearts. Getting off of Oracle was done in the background, since most of our databases were front-ended through simple ODBC. We had some hiccups, but good testing practices kept most of them out of production. Moving from eDirectory to Active Directory was a tough migration, and there were a lot of hiccups along the way. Despite testing we ran into groups of users who had highly customized applications that tied into eDirectory. Migrating them to AD was a challenge. Exchange was the hardest implementation - very few people were used to Outlook. It too not only our technical success, but a great deal of training and class-time for our users to feel comfortable. In the end, everything was a success, and we laid the groundwork for a new VPN rollout that year. Technology Used2

Here's an advertising technique from QuickStart Copywriter that will help you get more from out of your campaign.
To successfully sell a product, you must know exactly what consumers want.
There's no shortcut to sales and advertising. You cannot simply slap a clever headline or fancy design on to your ad just to make your readers or client feel good and hope to get away with it.
You have to know exactly what it is that you're selling. To do that, you have to research as much as you can about the product and become an expert in that category – someone who can offer solutions that save consumers' time, effort and money.
Here's a checklist to help you do your product research:
Learn more about the product and how it works
Use the product. If you're writing about health supplements, sample them. If you're promoting a clothing brand, wear the clothes. Selling party tickets? Go attend an event and get a first-hand feel of the party atmosphere. Nothing beats personal experience.
Interview your client or the maker of the product
Get as much as information as you can from your client about the product. Interview marketing staff, talk to the boss. Get and study product brochures or any form of marketing material from both your client and the competition.
Ask local retailers what they think about the product and the competition
Retailers are always keen to give you constructive feedback about the competitive advantages and disadvantages about your client's brand and product.
Find out what actual consumers think. Ask questions.
One of the best ways to learn more about a product is by word of mouth. Ask consumers what they do or don't like about the product. Why do they choose or avoid it? What does it do for them? What would make them buy it?
Check the Internet and other sources of online information
Type key words related to your product or its category into search engines and go where the results lead. Join social media networks such as Facebook fan pages and discussion groups to see what gets people talking about the product.
Learn about the product category
If you're writing an ad to sell music CDs of a particular genre, say, Rock for example, it'll be advantageous to find out more about that genre. Walk into a music shop and refer to Rock music magazines or surf the Internet. Study the language that Rock music fans use – what are some of the popular expressions and terms that you can adapt into your writing?
Visit the library
Refer to encyclopedias (How is Vodka made? How do you brew beer?), dictionaries (What's RAM? What's ROM?), audio and video material, or other valuable sources of information otherwise unavailable to you.

As I mentioned yesterday, we just got back from a relaxing vacation to Asheville, NC. While we were there, we also visited the town of Chimney Rock, which happens to have some of the cutest shops with killer deals, including these amazing new moccasins that I've been trying to wear with every outfit I own. One of my favorite parts was gem mining, where we got a big bucket full of sand and gems that we sifted through to find our treasures. We were total tourists, but it was a blast. Especially when we came back with bags full of these:
Of course, I couldn't just let these pretty gems just sit around, so I thought I'd show you a quick tutorial on how to turn rough (uncut, unpolished) gems into great little charms for necklaces or bracelets. Please keep in mind that I've never done this before and I'm sure there's a much better technique, but it worked for me! Also, this works best with gems that have rough edges to catch the beading wire on.
- Rough gems
- 20 gauge (or more) beading wire
- Round nose pliers
- Wire cutters
- Jump ring
- Jewelry glue (optional)
You could leave your charm by itself, or add other embellishments like feathers or beads. Have fun turning your treasures into jewelry!

Hip Hops
Spring Board
Haand Bryggeriet's Norwegian Wood
We just happened upon the perfect accompaniment to outdoor fire-cooking: Norwegian Wood. Not to be confused with blond Viking fuel for fire, this ale is mahogany-colored gas for the grill master.
Like many of the boutique ales coming out of the Nordic lands, Norwegian Wood is steeped in tradition that stands in stark contrast to the brews of its countrymen. More than 90 percent of the beers brewed in Denmark and Norway are bland pilsners, but as Black Metal is to NorPop, so are breweries like Haand Bryggeriet to Carlsberg. According to the importer, the "Hand Brewery" consists of four geezers who brew in their spare time.
"Norwood" is based on traditional Norwegian farmhouse ales—kilned over open flames and spiced with juniper twigs and berries. Many ales were once quite smoky on account of wood fire cooking the wort, but the tradition has died off significantly in deference to the mild and chuggable.
These smoked suds are a solid match for grill-side swilling, especially in the not-yet-sweltering afternoons of spring. Norwood is solid indoors and out, as an evening workday ender or over lighter fluid-soaked mesquite coals. The smokiness lingers in your mouth and the malts leave a lasting sweetness that finishes with a slight bitterness from hand-harvested juniper. Don't look too hard for the mediciny Christmas flavors of wreaths; the berries and twigs are used exactly as coriander and orange are in Belgian ales—they contribute to the roundness of the beer's flavor without standing out. Serve at just colder than room temp—a 15-minute ice-down in your cooler—and all the flavors of woods and fires will really sing.

Rugby is more than just a passion for New Zealanders. What better way to find out why than with these proper rugger experiences.
Ask any true blue Kiwi to chat about rugby and they'll likely chew the ear off you for hours on end without even stopping for breath. Rugby isn't just a hobby or passion for New Zealanders, it's hard-wired into their DNA. If you even think about making a joke at the expense of the mighty All Blacks you could well be run out of town.
On your self-drive holiday of New Zealand you're sure to encounter fanatic locals, quality stadiums to tour and more than likely a game or two that will ensure your holiday features a healthy dose of rugby. If that sounds like your idea of a fun holiday, here are two proper Kiwi rugby activities for you to enjoy.
Hear the Eden Park roar
The 60,000-seater stadium at Eden park in Auckland hosts everything from cricket to soccer, but it will always hold a special place in New Zealand rugby fans heart's as the place where the All Blacks won the 2011 world cup final. If you're in town when the All Blacks are playing and can get your hands on a ticket, you'll experience an atmosphere as loud and intense as that found anywhere in the world.
If your visit doesn't coincide with an All Blacks match, you could still head along to an Auckland Blues home game in the Super 15. The atmosphere might not be quite as heated, but it's still tailor-made for a great rugby experience.
Alternatively, you could get a behind-the-scenes look at the stadium and relive all the famous events that have taken place here on a stadium tour.
New Zealand Rugby History Museum
The New Zealand Rugby History Museum in Palmerston North houses the country's largest collection of rugby memorabilia and records.
Learn all about the nation's proud rugby history, including the great names and games from down through the years. You can also test out your won rugby skills and compare yourself to the All Black greats in the 'Have a Go' area.
The museum is open from 1 a.m. to 5 p.m. seven days a week.

Can watching adult movies hurt your relationship?
Adult films and sexually explicit materials stimulate the arousal center of the brain. The brain also releases hormones and the chemical reaction happens when orgasm occurs. With this being said, the brain relates human arousal with image, video, idea, or another person.
Adult films enhance the sexual encounters between married couples who have the slightest idea of experimental sex moves. These films can show them new techniques to pleasure each other. Although it may help some couple, it can probably break some relationships that are not into watching these kinds of film.
Based on different psychological studies, they've revealed that watching sexually explicit materials affects their relationship with their partners.
In the study of Amanda Maddox and her colleagues, they've found out that porn-free relationships are stronger and infidelity has a lower rate based from men and women with ages ranging from 18 to 34, who are in romantic relationships. Their basis of measurements is the levels of negative communication, dedication or interpersonal commitment, sexual satisfaction, infidelity, and relationship adjustment. Based on their collected statistics, 76.6 percent of men and 34.6 percent of women view adult movies and sexually explicit materials alone, while the 44.8 percent said that they view it with their partners.
They've also discovered that people who do not watch adult films or porn were more committed to their relationship, had lower levels of negative communication, and had higher sexual satisfaction and relationship adjustment. Their rate of infidelity was known to be at least half of those people who have watched sexual materials alone and with their partners. On the other hand, the 44.8 percent individuals who watched porn with their partners were known to be more dedicated and more sexually satisfied compared to those who watched alone.
Another study from Nathaniel Lambert and Sesen Negash showed that watching adult films lessens relationship commitment. The reason behind this finding is that some people tend to realize that there are lots of potential sexual partner, and as a result, it will lower their dedication towards their partner.
In another study conducted by Nathaniel Lambert and others regarding the effect of pornography on intimacy, they've explored other alternatives which are offered by watching adult films. They considered two possibilities; first, the appearance of attractive and sexually available partners on screen may arouse the perception of an individual with regards to their own possible partners. The other possibility relies on the idea of multiple sexual partners which can be dangerous for healthy relationships.
With these two possibilities, Lambert and Gwinn confirmed that individuals who tend to watch adult films were more likely to involve in a third party relationship. It was also found that infidelity comes with watching adult films.
According to Dr. Samir Parikh, a Mental Health and Behavioral Sciences specialist in Delhi, watching pornographic videos and adult films should be done consensually and should never be for the sole purpose of pleasure. It may help couples if they are both interested, but there is a possibility that it will only cause a rift. It all depends on the personality of individuals.

Check out our menus
Phoenix is hot, pun intended, and FOODWORKS is feeling it. The downtown area of this desert town is experiencing a development boom, its biggest one since the 1960s, with a record number of commercial, residential, retail and hotel projects in the works, according to community development experts. Living, shopping, entertaining and eating in and around Phoenix just keeps getting better, both for locals as well as those in the community such as our FOODWORKS restaurants partners who are major contributors to the local scene.
Indeed, the city saw a record-breaking number of new restaurants open in 2018. That's great news for foodies who get to savor eclectic dining options ranging from Arabic to Vietnamese food, and for our FOODWORKS scouts, who are always on the lookout for fresh, exciting restaurants to showcase. From The Churchill, a collection of restaurants and shops carved out of a series of shipping containers, to the brief stretch of North 7th Street that some are calling the city's new restaurant row, to the stalwart and still stellar Pizzeria Bianco, Phoenix's growing food scene has something for everyone. We're pretty sure FOODWORKS fans welcome the heat.
"FOODWORKS struck us as an interesting concept because we've been trying to grow for so many years now. People ask us all the time about opening up another location, but the timing hasn't worked out. So when FOODWORKS presented this to us, I was like, 'Wow, we can go into these different locations and serve our food without having to open an actual store.'"
"For FOODWORKS to reach out to us and offer us this opportunity as a small business, to come into their cafes and be a part of what's going on with downtown Detroit, that's been a blessing."
"FOODWORKS is great to work with. They make it very easy, from setting up to payment. It's just a no-brainer, and Shannon [Kubina, general manager for FOODWORKS in Detroit] is amazing to work with."
"Outside of the additional revenue, FOODWORKS has given us marketing exposure. We've gotten catering opportunities from just one week of doing a pop-up. That's exactly the exposure I was looking for in our second year of being open."
"FOODWORKS has an expansive network, so we try to go to as many locations as possible. You're able to reach a different base of people, which is always great for business."
"With FOODWORKS, we saw an opportunity to work in a professional kitchen with professional chefs. It's about learning every aspect of the food industry, and it's helped us better serve our customers' needs at our food truck."
"You've gotta generate buzz. You've gotta get people genuinely excited about what you're doing, and that's what FOODWORKS does. They're all about bringing local flavor to downtown Detroit."
"FOODWORKS has been the perfect opportunity for us, especially in the summertime. Normally, restaurants in Arizona drop 10 to 15 percent in business due to the heat, but we haven't had that this year at all… I sell out of my signature Crispy Garlic Chicken every time. It doesn't matter how much I bring. And I can see sales of that dish increase at my restaurant."
See how Foodworks is changing the food scene in the below cities.
Behind its historic Federal-style facade lies a food scene that surprises and delights around every corner.
The Windy City is second to none when it comes to cool restaurants.
Culinary camaraderie runs deep in this Midwestern city.
Come explore this Midwestern magnet for big-city chefs looking to spread their creative wings.
Go the distance in the Mile High City for excellent craft beer and much, much more.
Motor City takes pride in its neighborhood restaurants and so do we.
The fourth largest U.S. city in the second largest state is cooking up big things.
Hyperlocal cuisine (and plenty of cheese, sausage and beer) in a cool college town—what more could you want?
From sophisticated gastropubs to burger dives to craft donut shops, there's nothing mini about Minneapolis dining.
There's a lot to love in the City of Brotherly Love. Its historic food halls are a good place to start.
The nation's capital has become a culinary capital.
From the FOODWORKS family to you
Local businesses form the soul of the FOODWORKS mission—and so many of our communities.
Now more than ever, we are absolutely committed to supporting the small businesses that form the backbones of our cities—and we hope you join us in our cause. If you are comfortable and able, please order delivery or carryout from your favorite small restaurants, buy a gift card for a future date or even buy a piece of merch.
We understand that many people are experiencing economic changes right now, but we appreciate any contributions you can make to your community during these challenging times. To the FOODWORKS family, we're in this together.

Welcome, Monsieur, sit yourself down, and meet the best touring production in town! As for the rest, well none of them is— quite as impressive as this show of Les Mis. The National Theatre has the distinguished honor of hosting the current touring production of the infamous and iconic Broadway musical Les Misérables this festive holiday season and there's none better a show to welcome to the stage at this season of year, when everyone else is touting the more saccharine shows of the season. Directed by Laurence Connor and James Powell, this evocative retooling follows in the footsteps of the recent Broadway revival, staying true to the tale while presenting new special effects and honing in on those visceral moments of connection between characters that populate the story.
Whether it's the licensing of the current production or Director Laurence Connor and James Powell's choosing is unclear when it comes to the current way the lyrical recitation of the performance is being handled. Perhaps it is an overall mistrust of modern day audiences to fully digest a three-hour opera where every line is sung, but regardless the reason, this steady threading of various spoken words (and in some cases extremely staccato singing) detracts from the overall stunning beauty of Claude-Michel Schönberg's music and Herbert Kretzmer's lyrics. This, and the pop-modern persuasion of both the Jean Valjean and Eponine characters, are the only two places where the production truly finds fault, and even then, these choices are likely only to be noticed by those deeply steeped in the world of theatre. The raging screamer-rock-star tenor approach laid into the Valjean character and equally poppy-modern vocal sound over-laid to the Eponine character juxtapose poorly with all of the other vocal choices and overall arrangement and progression of the show. This is not to speak ill of either performer, who both have stellar sounding voices for that quality of sound.
Aesthetically, the production is striking; there is a profound blend of projections realized by Fifty-Nine Productions flawlessly mixed with illuminations crafted by Lighting Designer Paule Constable. The way these innovative projections are juxtaposed against the overall set and image designs of Matt Kinley creates a believable and visually inspiring experience for everyone watching. Constable's continual use of shadow and light, playing with both during heightened emotions throughout the production, augments the nuances of character relationships throughout the performance. This is most notable in the love triangle of Eponine, Marius, and Cosette, wherein the former appears in shadow while the remaining lovers are highlighted in warm, welcoming whites.
It should also be noted the strobing effects, which are synched to perfection with Sound Designer Mick Potter's whizzing bullets and other sounds of battle unfolding at the barricade, are most enthralling, bordering on the edge of frightening. Other extraordinary uses of lighting (and Connor and Powell's precision staging and blocking to align perfectly into that lighting) include the rise of the barricade students in the background during "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables." Fluid, smooth, and perfectly executed with nothing but the striking visual created in this moment, it is one of the more divine moments of light-play featured in this production.
Directors Laurence Connor and James Powell pull a great deal of the story's focus into the minutia of character relationships. From the onset of the performance the high-strung mortal-enemy-style tension between Jean Valjean and Inspector Javert is palpable all because of a carefully crafted look shared between them in a moment of stillness upon the stage. These intense eye-locking moments, which occur most frequently between the two leading male characters, but also with others throughout the performance, are how Connor and Powell hone in on the critical dynamic of developing relationships in this telling of Les Misérables, ultimately heightening the overall experience for theatergoers, both those who have experienced the show before and for those of whom this is their first viewing.
Vocally astonishing, despite the misplaced modernity of the tenor-rocker sound which dominates Jean Valjean's numbers and the diva-pop sound which diffuses its way into Eponine's numbers, the numerous members of the ensemble answer true to the show's question: "Do you hear the people sing?" In soul-burning jubilation, with unmitigated passion, and exceptionally blended harmonies, is the resounding answer. Whether growling their bitters during "At the End of the Day" or reconciling the angelic ending during "Finale", there is an inexplicable fortitude, creating the sound of hundreds among a cast of just over 30. Standout performances among this ensemble include the rowdy Grantaire (Matt Moisey), whose comic shenanigans provide quite the chuckle in this otherwise dramatically heavy opera. Though it must be said that Moisey sticks the harsh screws to the Enjolras character during his harrowing (and pitch-perfect) verse of "Drink With Me." Little Cosette (at this performance Zoe Glick) and Gavroche (at this performance Julian Emile Lerner) also deserve mentions of praise; Glick, for her dulcet and delicate rendition of "Castle on a Cloud" and Lerner for his punchy pluck in the overall approach to the character. His scene at the barricade is one of the most breath-taking in the most horrific fashion imaginable.
While shouldering much of the show's comic relief, Thénardier (J. Anthony Crane) has a ghoulish grotesque side to his character that is ripe and readily revealed during "Dog Eat Dog." Crane takes the grizzled, red-nosed silly-sot of a character that oft provides nonsensical shtick in the first half of the show, peels back the laughing layer of the character and reveals a revolting underbelly wrought with vile intentions of truth and grit. Crane, who plays opposite Allison Guinn (playing Madame Thénardier) is somewhat intentionally upstaged by her during their entire initial encounter. Guinn, whose character choice is a strong one, however ill-executed, digs into the gravelly range of her voice, growling out lines both while speaking and singing, and at times takes the larger-than-life caricature that she has created with The Madame and makes her unpalatable.
With a hair-poof as high as the conflagration he's inspiring amongst his fellow students, Enjolras (Matt Shingledecker) exhibits true character progression from the sensible leader of the students to the bombastic master of the rebellion. Shingledecker is firm of voice and takes a rapid track of growth from idealist to man-of-action. His solo features during "ABC Café" and "The People's Song" are particularly memorable shows of his vocal tenacity. With an attitude primed toward revolution, it is delightful to see the way he spirits the students to march— in a believable circle rather than in some hackneyed block-formation— at the end of "The People's Song" and again charges them with enthusiasm all through the never-ending barricade scene.
One of the more memorable "moments of emotional minutia" captured perfectly in this production occurs between Marius (Joshua Grosso) and Cosette (Jillian Butler) during "A Heart Full of Love." The awkward fumbling over meeting one another is delicately draped over the lyrics of this number, with an intentional voice-squeak delivered by Grosso to further explore just how nervous his character is at that moment, making for the ultimate stage meet-cute. Grosso's vocal capabilities are excellent, particularly when it comes to infusing raw emotions into his pensive portion of "Drink With Me" and his rendition of "Empty Charis at Empty Tables" evokes— as the colloquial saying goes— 'the ugly cry.' Butler, playing the winsome ingénue, rings true to the soprano nature of the character, delivering a pleasing sound with solid tonal consistency to numbers like "In My Life" and her unnamed segments following "Empty Chairs at Empty Tables" and those leading into "The Finale."
Nick Cartell, who plays the protagonistic lead of Jean Valjean, vocally redeems the misdirection of the rock-tenor character tract that this touring production takes when approaching prisoner 24601, with his rendition of "Bring Him Home." Clearer than solid eyes, this vocally pristine sound that Cartell emits, harbors a rich emotional sentiment that captures the essence of the struggle in that moment. Fighting the overall uphill struggle of the character (which includes sloppy fight choreography and general stoppered blocking in places) Cartell finishes produces a firm and steady replica of the iconic character. His most compelling moments are the those driven by the tightening tension shared with Javert, particularly during the uncredited "Confrontation" occurring just after "Fantine's (Melissa Mitchell) Death."
At this performance, the role of Javert was undertaken by understudy Andrew Love, but other than a note on the performance board indicating this up-swung shift in role assignments, there would be no way to tell that Love was an understudy stepping into the role rather than the actor assigned to the role originally. Love's performance as Inspector Javert was nothing short of sensational; the rich emotional overtones, the deep astounding baritone, and the harrowing brutality with which he created the character all came together in one jaw-dropping performance that won several ovations from the audience, including a nearly unending one at the conclusion of his powerhouse solo "Stars." Love, (whose sudden promotion meant The Bishop of Digne was beautifully sung and emoted by Monté J. Howell, at this performance) fabricated an unfathomable depth to the character, which drove the tension, and ultimately the plot where Jean Valjean was concerned, forward to the brutal conclusion. His moment in Act II— "Soliloquy" was truly a masterpiece; it captured the epitome of madness as it crashed down upon a logically ordered world and was delivered at the peak of Love's vocal and emotional ability, truly remarkable without question.
To love another person is to see the face of God; this stands as the parting wisdom of the show and rings true with the talented cast that has been amassed for this national touring production of Les Misérables. Do not wait until the new year to procure tickets, for although the performance runs through the first full week in 2018, with as exceptionally well-done as the show is, it is unlikely that tickets will remain available for long.
Running Time: 3 hours with one intermission
Les Misérables plays through January 7, 2018 at The National Theatre— 1321 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, DC. For tickets call the box office at 800-514-3849 or purchase them online.

If this is a major new bull market, what sort of gains can we expect?
In the Fidelity article titled "How Will the Bear Market End? Historical patterns of stock market reversals" certified financial advisor Dirk Hofschire says the average gain in the first month of a new bull market is 12% of its entire gain. In the first year, we usually get 40% of the total price gain and 45% after counting for dividends.
"evaluating all the bull markets since 1930, the first month of a new bull market on average has provided more than 12% of an entire bull market's gains, with an average return of 14% during these initial months (see Exhibit 3, below). Within six months, more than one quarter (27%) of an entire bull market's performance (on average) was already in the books. The first 12 months of the average bull market has provided more than 40% of an entire bull market's price appreciation, yielding on average 45% for investors -- well above the category's long-term average annual return of 10%. So while bull markets typically last an average of three years and have even spanned an entire decade, the biggest bang for the buck has typically come in the initial months of the rebound."
What gains have we seen for this new bull market?
This chart above shows the S&P500 (charts) is already up 20.6% from its low on a closing basis. The DJIA and NASDAQ100 indexes are up 18.77% and 19.93%, respectively.Major US Index Charts:

I am a people person – if you have met me then you know this already. I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and sharing their life with them. Maybe it is because I am a counselor by trade, or maybe it is because when I was a little girl, my daddy used to call me Chatty Cathy…like the doll. Whatever it is, meeting new people and having new conversations is easy for me and something I really enjoy.
In my job at Temple, Director of Member Services, I am lucky. I meet you when you first come in, looking to make this your spiritual home. I love that part of my job. I get a head start on everyone else knowing who is who and being able to facilitate introductions. It is fun for me!

Here at Temple, our Sacred Gifts membership program asks you to give from your heart, and to give as you have been blessed. I see you do this all the time – not only with your treasure, but with your time and talent as well. It is what makes our community warm and vibrant and strong.
So, the time is now to give from your lev. Time to say again… "I want to be here. This place is important to me. I want our Temple family to have a bright future."
Many of you have already renewed your Sacred Gift commitment. If you have not, you are welcome to call me. You know I would love to chat, and help you with your Sacred Gift – it gives me a wonderful excuse to have more conversations and hear more of your stories. The best part of my job!
