javascript - How to keep the current image in slideshow still the same when refresh a webpage? - Stack Overflow
How to keep the current image in slideshow still the same when refresh a webpage?
On my website (http://daaamnthisisfunny.blogspot.com/) I have set up an image slide show that every time the user clicks the right arrow it will take him/her to the next picture, and do the opposite when clicks the previous arrow. The problem is when the user refresh the page it will reset the slide to the first image. What I want to make is a website like (http://9gag.com/gag/1672046) that every time the user click on the next arrow the Url of the site will change accordingly. Do you have any ideas how I can accomplish that ?
This is what i am using for my website:
var NumberOfImages = 10
var img = new Array(NumberOfImages)
img[0] = "http://damnthisfunny.site40.net/1.jpg"
img[1] = "http://damnthisfunny.site40.net/2.jpg"
img[2] = "http://damnthisfunny.site40.net/3.jpg"
img[3] = "http://damnthisfunny.site40.net/4.jpg"
img[4] = "http://damnthisfunny.site40.net/5.jpg"
img[5] = "http://damnthisfunny.site40.net/6.jpg"
img[6] = "http://damnthisfunny.site40.net/7.jpg"
img[7] = "http://damnthisfunny.site40.net/8.jpg"
img[8] = "http://damnthisfunny.site40.net/9.jpg"
img[9] = "http://damnthisfunny.site40.net/10.jpg"
var imgNumber = 0
if (imgNumber == NumberOfImages)
imgNumber = 0
document.images["VCRImage"].src = img[imgNumber]
function PreviousImage()
if (imgNumber < 0)
imgNumber = NumberOfImages - 1
</dr>

Just an idea, how about on page unload set a cookie value? May work but I'd have to test
I'd recommend using jquery for events:
Then for cookie parsing use
http://archive.plugins.jquery.com/project/Cookie
I'm not positive this will work

Yes you can save the current image number in the cookie. so as soon as the page loads you check for the presence of a cookie first. If there is one then you set the current image to the number in the cookie.
By the way this is all done in javascript.
var imgNumber = getCookie("lastImage") || 0;
// where getCookie is a function to retrieve cookie value
here are 2 hand functions:
var szValue = null,
cookie = document.cookie,
arr.arr2;
if (cookie){ // only if cookie exists
arr = cookie.split((escape(szName) + '='));
if(2 <= arr.length){
arr2 = arr[1].split(';');
function setCookie(szName, szValue, szExpires, szPath, szDomain, bSecure) {
var szCookieText = escape(szName) + '=' + escape(szValue),
if(!szExpires) // default expiration date : 1 year
szExpires = date.toGMTString();
szCookieText += (szExpires ? '; EXPIRES=' + szExpires : '');
szCookieText += (szPath ? '; PATH=' + szPath : '');
szCookieText += (szDomain ? '; DOMAIN=' + szDomain : '');
szCookieText += (bSecure ? '; SECURE' : '');
document.cookie = szCookieText;

One way is to use HTML5's replaceState method. This allows you to change the URL that is used to reload the page. This depends on the server sending the correct image in the slideshow for the given URL. Although the next and previous links would appear to link to those same URLs, you would actually call replaceState behind the scenes to avoid reloading the page.
For browsers that don't support replaceState you can still change the anchor of the URL. For browsers that support the :target CSS pseudoclass the slideshow can be written entirely in CSS. Otherwise you will need to show the correct image depending on the anchor. Some browsers provide the hashchange event which allows you to detect the user changing the anchor (e.g. by clicking back).

4.0 out of 5 stars I hope this one does better even if I don't, 17 May 2016
This review is from: Wheelbarrow Inner Tube for Tyre 4.00 - 8 (Misc.)
Not a lot to say really - it's an inner tube and does as expected. My last one (different make) withered in three years. I hope this one does better even if I don't. The valve tube is slightly short for my wheel but that may be because the wheel is very old.
4.0 out of 5 stars Nice and small, 8 Feb. 2016
This review is from: meZmory USB OTG (On the Go) Adapter. A-Female to Micro B-Male Connector Plug. Transforms Memory USB Stick into Micro USB for Smartphone and Tablet (Electronics)
I use this with the Sandisk Ultra Fit 64GB USB flash drive. It only extends the the drive by the length of the connection so complements the diminutive size of the drive and avoids having the drive dangle on the end of a cable. Very small and easily lost if not in constant use. Comes in a plastic case.

4.0 out of 5 stars Easily lost?, 8 Feb. 2016
This review is from: SanDisk SDCZ43-064G-G46 64 GB USB 3.0 Ultra Fit USB Flash Drive - Black (Personal Computers)
Does the job so gets 4 stars. The negative aspects are that it runs very hot and it is tiny so easily lost. However, if it sits more or less permanently in a USB slot then its small size is an advantage as it doesn't get in the way. It comes with outdated version 2 of the security software but version 3 is freely available over the internet.
4.0 out of 5 stars Excelent case, 22 Nov. 2015
Does the job well. Light weight as well as strong protection.
5.0 out of 5 stars Chosen after much research, 22 Nov. 2015
Easy to use, very clear screen with all the right information and its readings match those I get at my general practice. It has been validated by the British Hypertension Society (see http://www.bhsoc.org//index.php?cID=246).
5.0 out of 5 stars Best low cost photo software, 22 Nov. 2015
I am at a loss as to why Elements is the preferred affordable photo processing software when Paintshop Pro is so much more capable. Among many advantages of PSP is the ease of using and the flexibility of its masks, the arithmetic one can use for combining photos and the macro language which allows you to automate any procedure you like. I have used PSP since version1, was disappointed with its revision when Corel bought some years ago, but now find it is back to its fantastic best again. It will even import Photoshop's psd files complete with layers. If you want a really capable low cost photo processor, get this one. If you can also afford Lightroom, they make an unmatchable pair!
5.0 out of 5 stars Replacement foil OK, 6 Mar. 2015
As described on the box. Hardly needs a review. Arrived on time
5.0 out of 5 stars Varbatim OK, 23 Nov. 2014
This review is from: Verbatim 43538 16x Wide Printable DVD-R - Spindle 25 Pack (Accessory)
I always buy Verbatim as the disks are so reliable.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent mouse, 17 Oct. 2014
My old Microsoft cordless mouse lasted for 10 years but recently began to fail. I searched for a reasonably priced cordless mouse (ie <�30) and opted for this Logitech one since my experience with Logitech in the past had been good. The mouse fits my medium sized right hand very snugly, with all the buttons easily accessed. The wheel moves freely when moving up and down a web page but not so much as to run wild. There is a second setting for the wheel which allows for very fast scrolling. By default, tilting the wheel either left or right scrolls horizontally in the appropriate direction. Apart from feeling a little lightweight in comparison with the Microsoft mouse, it is a pleasure to use for browsing, wordpprocessing, accurate photo correction and video editing.Setting up the mouse was very easy. To get the most out of the mouse one should download the free software for selecting the actions of the buttons and a readout of the number of days of remaining battery power (starts at about 3 years with the included batteries). The software can be downloaded from the Logitech web site.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value, 3 Sept. 2014
I have only used two the 10 I bought. Both have been flawless as have all Verbatim disks I have bought over the years. I am very satisfied. I use them when editing to view drafts of my videos on my television. Much more economical than using write-once disks.

javascript - Get minimum and maximum of object property names that are integers - Stack Overflow
Get minimum and maximum of object property names that are integers
UPDATED (formulated the problem wrong, see note below)
I have an object that has a set of properties that are named with numbers as shown in the example. The 'numbered names' are not necessarily consecutive, nor do I know where they start or end. I do know that other properties will not be named with numbers.
I know that myObject["propName"] is the same as myObject.propName, but I deliberately write it in the first way because myObject.0 looks weird and doesn't get recognized by all editors.
How do I get the min- and maximum array index?
myObject["0"] = undefined
myObject["1"] = {}
myObject["2"] = undefined
myObject["3"] = {}
myObject["4"] = {}
myObject["5"] = undefined
myObject["someOtherProperty"] = {}
would give me this
minIndex(myObject) == 1
maxIndex(myObject) == 4
To all the answers before this edit
Thanks for your replies. I shouldn't have posted this question in a hurry and should have re-read it before committing. It was late and I was in a hurry. My apologies.
By actually seeing my wrong statement (using an array instead of an object) I think that, based on answers for my reformulated problem, I might need to rewrite my code to use an array instead of an object. The reason I'm using an object rather then an array is material for another question.
I have tried finding a way of converting the property names to an array and then looping through them, but that has proven cludgy. I'm kind of looking for a less error-prone and elegant way.
edited Aug 14 '12 at 12:11
By the way... you can remove items from an array without the ugly holes with array.splice(). Maybe this eradicates the question in the first place. – Kai Mattern Aug 9 '12 at 20:18
I would close the question. These types of questions, besides not showing any research effort, always end up in a Crazy Coding Contest (C3). There is not enough time on Earth to correct everything in all the answers, and if I downvote most of them for various reasons, angry townspeople might attack my home. – kapa Aug 9 '12 at 20:29
Wow, haven't looked this for a workday and then this. Quite shocked. Yes, I'm quite new to real javascript. Furthermore I think that, in my effort to give only the core problem, I might have boiled the question down incorrect and posed the problem wrong. I'm going to try and review the entire thing. But really: ouch – Boris Callens Aug 10 '12 at 15:56
@Esailija, you are right to question this. Reformulated question, added response to you request in OP – Boris Callens Aug 10 '12 at 16:11
@Boris Callens I updated my answer. Let me know if this works given the "updated scenario" :) – Nick Aug 10 '12 at 19:31
myObject["0"] = undefined;
myObject["1"] = {};
myObject["2"] = undefined;
myObject["3"] = {};
myObject["4"] = {};
myObject["5"] = undefined;
myObject["someOtherProperty"] = {};
var keys = Object.keys(myObject).map(Number).filter(function(a){
return isFinite(a) && myObject[a];
var min = Math.min.apply(Math, keys);
var max = Math.max.apply(Math, keys);
console.log(min, max); //Logs 1 and 4

This looks nice and tidy :) Had seen a post from John Resig about using apply for max. This incorporates it nicely. Had some concerns about compatibility, but the links seem to solve it. Nice and thanks :) – Boris Callens Aug 11 '12 at 10:35
Edit: Aha! Now the problem becomes more interesting.
Solution 1: Let's solve this in one shot, shall we? For max:
function maxIndex(obj){
for(var i in myObject){
var val = parseInt(i);
if(isFinite(val)){
if(typeof obj[val] !== 'undefined' && val > max){
I think you can convert this to min on your own ;)
Solution 2: Here I'll your object back into what we originally thought it was, in case you really loved one of the other solutions. Then the rest of the answer applies.
function convertObject(obj){
output[val] = obj[i]; //Gotta love JS
To find the smallest, begin at the bottom and work your way up until you find it.
function minIndex(myArray){
if(typeof myArray[i] !== 'undefined')
To get the biggest, start at the top.
function maxIndex(myArray){
for(var i = myArray.length - 1; i >= 0; i--){
Both are worst case O(n). You can't really do better because the whole array could be empty, and you'd have to check every element to be positive.
Edit: As is mentioned, you can also check if something is not undefined by simply writing if(myArray[i]). Whatever suits your fancy.

+1, but don't you want != undefined? – Igor Aug 9 '12 at 20:15
null == undefined... I don't get why not people simply use typeof x == 'undefined', which is a proven way for testing for undefined. – kapa Aug 9 '12 at 20:17
if we're going to use != might as well use if(myArray[i]) and second if you're worried about performance just use a single loop and return {min:1, max:4} – Liviu T. Aug 9 '12 at 20:19
@ngmiceli One more thing: ! has a higher precedence than ===. I suggest using !== instead. – kapa Aug 9 '12 at 20:23
And concerning your edit: if (myArray[i]) is a very bad idea. It gives false for undefined - and for all the falsy values also. – kapa Aug 9 '12 at 20:26
Try looping through the array until you find the 1st non-undefined element.
function minIndex(arr){
if(arr[i] !== undefined){
For max index, do the same thing, except in reverse.
function maxIndex(arr){
for(var i = arr.length-1, len = 0; i >= len; i--){
edited Aug 9 '12 at 20:35
answered Aug 9 '12 at 20:15
wouldn't the maxIndex one throw an index out of bounds exception when trying to access arr[arr.length] or would the undefined catch it? – Phillip Schmidt Aug 9 '12 at 20:23
@PhillipSchmidt: The undefined would catch it, but you're right. – Rocket Hazmat Aug 9 '12 at 20:35
if(myArray[i] != undefined) {
for(var i = myArray.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {
function minIndex(var array){
if(typeof array[i] != "undefined")
function maxIndex(var array){
var returnIndex = -1;
returnIndex = i;
if(returnIndex !== -1) return returnIndex;
answered Aug 9 '12 at 20:19
this takes advantage of the fact that for..in only iterates over defined elements, and uses the index:
function minIndex(arr){ for(el in arr){return el} }
function maxIndex(arr){var v; for(el in arr){v = el}; return v }
CAVEATS: The second function is not very efficient though, since it loops through the entire array. This wont work if you are EXPLICITLY setting the undefined indexes.
1,30411 gold badge99 silver badges2121 bronze badges
In the example. the values are literally defined as undefined, so this won't work. Plus you shouldn't use for...in for Arrays. – Rocket Hazmat Aug 9 '12 at 20:32
-1 for not trying it – kapa Aug 9 '12 at 20:34
Just realized about the explicit definitions. I tried it by just adding the defined values. I'm lazy (which is a cardinal virtue of programmers) Edited. – Matt Van Horn Aug 9 '12 at 20:36
var min=myArray.length;
if (myArray[i]!==undefined)

Don't use for...in for arrays. Plus since the values are explicitly set to undefined all the keys will appear here. – Rocket Hazmat Aug 9 '12 at 20:17
You'd have to test for the values of course, but the for...in method has the advantage of checking only defined values, not all possible values starting from 0. – Wolfgang Stengel Aug 9 '12 at 20:18
Problem is, in the example, all the values are defined. Also: stackoverflow.com/questions/500504/… – Rocket Hazmat Aug 9 '12 at 20:20
Edited to illustrate what I mean. – Wolfgang Stengel Aug 9 '12 at 20:22
Don't understand the downvotes... I was trying to avoid having to run through 1000 elements if we have an array like this: var a=[]; a[1000]=5;. – Wolfgang Stengel Aug 9 '12 at 20:45

Rhiannon Langley nose job blogger blogger shares diary of Thailand surgery | Daily Mail Online
'I have to keep pushing the nose in the direction I want': 24-year-old documents the painful reality of cut-price cosmetic surgery in Thailand in her day-by-day diary
Rhiannon Langley travelled to Thailand for a nose job in April
Langley, 24, made headlines for sharing the experience on social media
Her Instagram fans followed along with the hashtag #RhiannonGetsRhino
The Melbourne hairdresser shares her seven-day journal with FEMAIL
Published: 22:52 EDT, 11 May 2015 | Updated: 17:11 EDT, 12 May 2015
Rhiannon Langley made headlines last month when she invited her 195,000-strong Instagram following along with her on her 'nose job journey' in Thailand.
Three weeks after surgery, Miss Langley is now back home in Melbourne and back to work, sporting little remaining swelling and a bloodshot eye from a burst blood vessel, but feels 'on top of the world.'
In her blog post, Miss Langley reveals that it was her Hanging Columella, a drooping tip of the nose, that caused her the most angst when she looked at herself in the mirror. 'My nose was so long for my small face and I couldn’t stand it,' she wrote.
From a pre-op mini-holiday in Phuket with her fiance Jody Abrahams, to her hospitalisation in Bangkok and recovery in a city hotel, Rhiannon shares her brutally honest medical tourism 'nose job journey' with Daily Mail Australia, in her own words.
'On top of the world': Three weeks after the operation, the Melbourne hairdresser is back to work
'So off we go! Jody and I headed to an amazing island just off Phuket so we could feel relaxed before I went in for surgery. Paradise Koh Yao is absolutely breath taking, we had an amazing room with our bed overlooking the palm trees and ocean.
'We also had our own private spa and outdoor shower! I seriously recommend going here! Such a romantic destination. After all the relaxing it was time to head to Bangkok.'
#RhiannonGetsRhino: Meet the 24-year-old woman sharing her... Chilling by the pool, mani pedis and shopping trips:... Entering competitions, reading shopping catalogues and... 'It was the day I wished I was never a mother': Kate...
'We got off the plane and it was straight to the hospital, Samitivej Srinakari. It was such a clean and professional hospital - I met all the nurses, they were so cute and so happy, it definitely made me feel more comfortable. Most nurses spoke clear English and were very helpful.
'I met up with my surgeon Dr Montein. He spoke really good English and asked me if I wanted a big or small change. Originally I had decided on a small change, I didn’t want to look that different but then I thought, if I’m doing it, I’m going to do it big.
'He told me we would have to break my nose for what I was after, we could shave smaller on the sides and top to create the curve I wanted, and remove the cartilage from the droop, cut my nostrils and bring them in and down as on the side you couldn’t see up my nose.
'I was thrilled with how professional he was. He told me all the side effects and complications along with recovery time. I knew I was in good hands. After all that I had my blood taken, X-rays and blood pressure to see if I was fit for surgery.
'The day of surgery, I was freaking out. What I was about to do hit me, I started doing the 'What ifs?' I had a small sook and then got it together.
'Cosmeditour had organized one of their reps, Mutsee, to help us along the way. She came with us to the hospital, spoke to the nurses and was with me for the IV, having my blood pressure and weight taken, and then off to our room.
'The room was insane, it was huge! I had my own private room, flat screen TV, bar fridge, it was crazy! They let Jody stay as well, he had a couch to sleep on which I thought was so nice, it definitely made me feel better knowing he would be there all night.
'The day of surgery, I was freaking out. What I was about to do hit me
'At around 1pm I said goodbye to Jody and the nurses came to get me. They rolled me into the surgical room, it was freezing! It was all white and very spacious, I felt like I was in a movie set.
'About eight nurses that swarmed me, taking off my robe, wrapping things on my legs, sticking things on my chest, wrapping my hair in a towel, I started to freak out - it was all happening so fast! I had a Sphygmomanometer - a blood pressure metre for your legs that helps circulate the blood and helps prevent blood clots. Once I was all hooked up the surgeon and anesthetist came in, he injected the general anesthetic in IV and I was put to sleep.
'I woke up dizzy and sleepy. I tried to vomit but nothing came out. I wasn’t in pain I just felt tight and dry, all I wanted was water, I waited in recovery for an hour before I got to go to my room and see Jody.
'I took one look at myself and wanted to cry': Miss Langley recounts feeling sick and groggy post-surgery
'I remember wondering why I could breathe through my nose, and kept asking why. I still wasn’t hungry, all I had was a headache and wanted water. After all that I think my surgery was 6 hours, he said it would be four hours but it was longer.
'When I got straight out I only had small bruising and no pain, my surgeon told me everything went really well and to sleep upright but I was so out of it I kept sleeping on my side and turning over, I didn’t sleep well at all! I woke up so so swollen, burst a blood vessel in my eye from all the pressure and my left eye was almost closed over, my right was huge too.
'I took one look at myself and wanted to cry - I knew I would bruise but not this much. I was so groggy and out of it for the day I just wanted to sleep, at one point I was vomiting, I think it was the anesthetic wearing off and after that I just kept trying to sleep.'
'I can see! My eye had gone down but there was still a lot of swelling through my cheeks and jaw, no pain though. I had soft muesli for breakfast and fried rice for dinner, but I still didn’t feel like eating much.
'I took one look at myself and wanted to cry
'Dr Montein came to our hotel with Mutsee to check on me. He said everything was looking good, which made me feel better even though I had to big red and purple eyes. My ice pack was my best friend, I slept with it took it everywhere.
'My nose started to block up and I could only really breathe through my mouth, I went down to the pool for about an hour, and Jody was constantly bringing me cold water and swapping my ice pack over, after that back to bed, still couldn’t do much or see much of Bangkok and it was back to sleeping it off.'
'I'm feeling horrible and so emotional. No pain, just swollen, hungry and over it, sick of being in the room, sick of sleeping. Just having one of those days. Jody made me get out of the room, which made me feel a lot better, headed down to the pool and just chilled out.
'My lovely client manager Emily from CosMediTour suggested getting laser shower done. Mutsee had told me this doesn’t work for everyone but it was only 1000 baht ($40 AU) so thought I’d give it a shot.
'It wasn’t painful at all! It didn’t touch me, it was like a red light being shone over my face, they covered my eyes to protect them and it only went for 10-20 minutes, I'm praying that my swelling and eyes go down from this!'
'I woke up feeling so much better, I think the laser shower helped me so much! I loved it so booked in again for two more times! My cheeks, lips and eyes have gone down, and I can completely open my eyes.
'We went to the hospital today for a check up, everything is looking good and I am recovering well. Dr Montein took some stiches around the nostrils out today, it was like a sharp pinch but nothing overly painful. I can finally see the difference in shape on the tip!
'I got my second session of laser shower today, I’m loving the results and so much bruising has gone down. Today I was feeling so much better we went to a shopping mall, it has real and knock-off designer items. It was so nice to finally feel happy and really get out of the room.'
'I'm feeling really good again. Flushing regularly is helping me breathe through my nose. We spent most the day lying by the pool, just another relaxing day. We also got a mani and pedi! It was so nice to get pampered and it's so ridiculously cheap.
'I also had my last session of laser done, every day I’m looking and feeling so much better and I’m starting to love myself more and more! There’s still no pain, it's just annoying sleeping upright.'
'The days are just getting easier and easier, and I feel as if I’m looking more like myself again. Im getting the cast off tomorrow; I'm feeling super excited and nervous!
'I also have had loss of taste and smell - I had no idea that this happened, at the start I gathered it was because there was so many tablets involved and I was so stuffy, but apparently it’s just because the nasal passageways are blocked up, and most taste actually comes from smell.'
'It’s going to take around two months to set properly
'Getting the cast off was the worst part of this procedure for me. Having a broken nose, being so swollen or not being able to see was nowhere near as bad as getting the plastic tubes the size of my pinky finger pulled out of each nostril!
'I didn’t even know they were up there. I felt like I had been punched right in the face, it was like a shooting pain right through my jaw to ear! Horrible, absolutely the worst part of the entire surgery for me.
'It’s going to take around two months for the bone structure to set properly, and I have to keep pushing the nose slightly in the direction I want for the last 10 per cent of perfecting it. The swelling will go down around six months.'

Pentagon Says Services in Iraq Are Stagnant - The New York Times
Washington|Pentagon Says Services in Iraq Are Stagnant
By MICHAEL R. GORDON DEC. 19, 2007
The delivery of basic services is one area in which the United States has been urging the Iraq government to make progress. The hope is that improving the distribution of electricity, clean water and medical care would build public support for the government of Prime Minister Nuri Kamal al-Maliki and ease sectarian tensions.
But the sectarian agenda of the Shiite-dominated Iraq government has been a hindrance, the study said, noting that there have been only “minimal advances in the delivery of essential services to the people of Iraq, mainly due to sectarian bias in targeting and execution of remedial programs.”
At the same time, according to the Pentagon, the increase in the price of oil has increased government revenues. The Iraqi economy is projected to grow by 6.3 percent in 2007. And Iraqi authorities have increased their spending on infrastructure, such as the electricity sector.
But although electricity production has increased somewhat, supply still falls well short of demand, the report said. The shortfall in November 2007 was 42 percent of total demand compared with 53 percent in August 2007 and 47 percent in August 2006.
The United States has built 85 of 142 planned health care centers, many of which have been turned over to the Ministry of Health, which has been dominated in recent years by followers of Moktada al-Sadr, the anti-American Shiite cleric. The report noted, however, that some of the medical centers have not been opened “due to a shortage of trained medical staff” and a “sectarian agenda” within the Health Ministry that has led to the discrimination against Sunni areas.
Sectarian politics has hampered progress in other areas, as well. The American military has recruited about 69,000 mostly Sunni volunteers to help secure Iraq. The United States would like the Iraqi government to institutionalize the arrangement by hiring many of the volunteers as policemen or soldiers. But the Pentagon report said that such efforts are “moving slowly” because of “fears by the Maliki government that those forces may return to violence or form new militias.”
While political gains have been tenuous there has been much progress in lowering the level of violence, the report indicated. The number of attacks per week using bombs, mines, mortars, antiaircraft weapons and small arms was fewer than 600 during November 2007. When President Bush began to send additional reinforcements to Iraq in February, the weekly figure was about 1,400.
The number of civilian deaths declined to about 600 in November from more than 2,500 in January, according to American and Iraqi government data cited in the report.
The number of roadside bomb attacks, which are generally aimed at American and Iraqi forces, dropped drastically. There has also been a significant decline in car bomb attacks, which are often directed at civilians, since the start of the year. However, the number of suicide attacks involving car bombs and individuals wearing vests filled with explosives was up slightly from October to November.
More than 3,600 members of Al Qaeda in Mesopotamia were killed or captured from February 2007 until mid-November, the report said, including 54 emirs or senior leaders. The military pressure on the homegrown Sunni Arab extremist group, which American intelligence agencies have concluded is foreign-led, has driven many of the insurgents north, according to the Pentagon.
Regarding Iran, the report said that there has been “no identified decrease in Iranian training and funding” of Shiite militias in Iraq, but the Pentagon study did not specifically say whether Iranian arms shipments have declined. There has been a decrease of attacks involving a particularly lethal type of roadside bomb that American intelligence says is supplied by the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

When we learn how to connect with our angelic guides, our lives naturally fall into patterns of ease and flow during which we grow our souls, fulfill our life's purpose and make our time on Earth endlessly entertaining. Sonia Choquette offers the reader help in making this vital connection.
Choquette, the author of many books that help readers release their inner psychic, here introduces the idea of spirit helpers who guide and support people through life's highways and byways. Obviously, one has to have walked a fair piece down the psychic pathway to be open to the concept of spirit guides. Many more people, however, believe in the notion of guardian angels, and this is where Choquette begins. Writing in a lively, friendly style, which intertwines personal anecdotes with how-to advice, she explains the difference between angelic helpers (including the big guns, the archangels) and spirit guides. She then breaks down the latter into smaller groups such as teacher guides, healer guides, etc., explaining the particular province of each group and offering advice on how to call upon them. Later chapters explain what the guides can--and cannot--do. This book certainly comes under the category of "everything you wanted to know about," and it will delight believers. The less convinced may wonder how the multitude of helpers avoid bumping into each other. Ilene Cooper

CHALLENGES IN MARKETING LUXURY BRANDS
PLIGHT OF STARBUCKS IN 2008
ACTIONS TAKEN TO RE-INVIGORATE THE STARBUCKS BRAND
............................................................................................................8Error: Reference source not found
The Starbucks Coffee, Tea, and Spice Company was founded in Seattle in 1971 byJerry Baldwin, Gordon Bowker and Zev Siegl, with a dream to educate the consumers aboutfine coffees. Starbucks began to develop when Howard Schultz took it over in 1987. His planwas to rebuild the Italian espresso bar experience in America and to make a personalrelationship between consumers and coffee. Within years, they grew from a small, regional business into the undisputed leader in the speciality coffee industry by buying only the bestquality coffee and providing an unmatched store experience(Stanley, 2002).“To inspire and nurture the human spirit — one person, one cup, and oneneighbourhood at a time.”---Starbucks Mission Statement from their websiteEver since its establishment there has been a sharp growth in the company performance.According to their 2008 annual report, they have nearly 17,000 stores in 49 countries. Thisreport tries to explain the challenges in marketing luxury brands, the perspective of Starbucks as an affordable luxury, the plight of Starbucks in 2008 and an analysis of themeasures taken by Starbucks to retain their spot in the coffee retailing industry.
2.LUXURY BRANDS
Luxury is something that is a gratification of desire rather than a requirement. Soluxury brand is a symbol of recognition and status. Contrary to normal products, the demandfor a luxury product highly depends on the increased income of the customer; that is luxury product has a high income elasticity of demand(Ward, 2008). Creativity, craftsmanship,exactness, high quality and premium pricing are those features often associated with luxury brands. Thus, customers are provided with satisfaction as well as psychological benefits suchself esteem, prestige and a sense of high status. However, Danziger (2005) argues a changein perception in customers about the luxury brands in the past and the present. The author identifies old luxury was about the attributes, features and quality of the product and much of its appeal was derived from status and prestige while new luxury is about the experienceembodied on the goods and services they buy, not only on ownership or possession. This point to the importance of identifying and tackling challenges in marketing luxury brands.
3.CHALLENGES IN MARKETING LUXURY BRANDS
The success of the business depends on the selection of the target market. Hence,segmentation and targeting becomes a major challenge for marketing luxury brands. Luxury products try to market themselves in the upper class, high income society as they are thecustomers who intend to differentiate themselves in the society (Stegemann, 2006).Conventional luxury products marketing have been forced to rethink about its targeting because of the increase in wealthy public, emergence of internet and other technologicalforces (Seringhaus, 2002). Luxury products are positioned as an esteemed product inMaslow’s hierarchy and so it has to deliver the requirements which possess a self-esteem,recognition and status. Marketing mix can be used to discuss the various challenges in themarketing of luxury brands:
Luxury product has got a central role in the marketing mix. It should differentiateitself from the competing products in its quality, legacy, integrity, price, and rareness. Theaura of luxury products is more appealing to the customers than its exclusiveness. Quality of the product comes from either the use of expensive raw materials or by the use of complicated and elongated processes. Legacy describes the privileged connection of the product with the past; relation to the history and tradition which lies far behind the craze of fashion. Even though a luxury product can boast all the above qualities, it still has to face thechallenges from fake brand names.
The pricing method of a luxury brand is entirely different from that of an ordinary brand. The main factor to be considered while pricing a luxury brand is the customers andwhat kind of price they can afford. The company need to decide their market should be nicheor broad in their pricing strategy. A Rolls Royce falls into a niche market with highlyrecognisable customers like the British Royal Family while an upper class Mercedes Benzfalls under a broader market as an affordable luxury to most of the high income customers.Another factor to be considered is the cost of the present products and brands in the market.High prices are derived in comparison with the products and services delivering similar functionalities. A major challenge to luxury brands is that they can never start or be part of a price war. Once the price is reduced so that anyone can afford, the product will become toocommon, the customers will lose confidence on that product. The product will not beconsidered as a luxury product from that point. However, in the opinion of Lei (2009), priceis the only constant characteristic of a luxury brand. Another challenge could be the use of flexible payment systems like credit cards, which gives the customers a higher buying power.
