We are trying to use DDD approach, but I have some uncertainty in the field of architecture, I would be graceful I you could resolve my doubts :) .
Could you explain more the DDD Architecture diagram in context of dependencies (what layers depends on what layers), please ?
1. The Presentation layer, USES (is dependent on): Distributed Interface Layer (when we have one) or Application Layer.
a) Domain Layer (but Domain Layer doesn't know nothing about the application layer).
Do I understand it correctly ?
Where would you put DataTransferObjects (DTOs) ? Application Layer ? Infrastructure Layer ? Both ?
I can imagine situation when I want DTO to be available in Infrastructure Layer, because I want to pass some complicated view (perspective that is not domain object) directly to the Presentation layer (when App Layer Asks directly repository implementation) ? Is it violation of this architecture ?
I don't want to expose my Domain Model directly to the Presentation (for a number of reasons), so create DTOs in Application Layer, and transform Domain Objects to Dto in Application layer.
3. This is a great question. I think there are several questions here.
Let's start with the infrastructure layer.
You "Domain Model Layer" should not be even aware of the "Infrastructure Layer". You achieve this by putting interfaces (or you can call them contracts, as per diagram) for data persistence (repositories) and any other infrastructure interfaces in to the "Domain Model Layer".
The actual implementation of the repositories sits in the infrastructure layer.
Your infrastructure layer will need to reference "Domain Model Layer" so that Infrastructure knows what entities / objects it's dealing with.
http://domainlanguage.com/ddd/patterns/DDD-Pattern-Language-Overview-sml.png (express state & computation with value objects).
Data Transfer Objects i.e. DTOs are fantastic because they don't contain any logic or methods they just carry data. Also if you use an ORM like nHibernate you will notice that it uses reflection to add extra behavior to the object. Last thing you want to do is send an entity with state tracking and methods with logic to the presentation layer. This is why they are so awesome (you have mentioned this above as well).
So, if you want clean separation I would query the data persistence, get back the entity or value object and map it on to a DTO via AutoMapper. Personally I would always do this even for a simple view query, this will keep everything consistent.
Great post!!, It helped me a lot to understand more about DDD!
Could you explain why Development becomes domain oriented not UI/Database oriented ? why not Database orianted?
Domain-driven design makes your development more domain oriented and technology agnostic due to abstraction. Take a look at the onion architecture http://jeffreypalermo.com/blog/the-onion-architecture-part-1/.
Some “classic” applications are very database oriented. For example some of these apps are all about stored procedures. To make things simpler, people just project stored procedure data output directly onto the UI. Overtime this creates maintenance nightmare as these stored procedures often get used by other stored procedures and they start to contain more and more business logic as business processes mature. Your user interface gets intertwined with database, database gets intertwined with business logic. Things become extremely hard to change and understand. No one understands where business process begins and ends.
N-tier architecture removes this confusing business logic and UI intertwining. Domain-driven design dramatically improves maintainability through very good use of object-oriented programming and abstraction from infrastructure concerns.
I hope this answer your question, once again thank you for reading.
I want to say thanks for the whole articles you wrote,it's hard to find some explanation or elaboration for such topic of concept in Taiwan.
I spent a lot of time learning DDD and onion architecture,and through these articles give me better understanding of that,just wanna to say thanks.
I had some question in my mind. I hope you would be able to help me.
Which is more preferable?. I know DDD depends on the domain, but this use case is fairly popular. Hence my question.
It depends on the object that you are interacting with and the context that you are in. However, in a generic scenario I would prefer Cart.Add(Product). This is because when you are in the shop you pick up a cart and you add products in to the cart. You don’t pick up a product and put cart in to it.
Have one question, regarding persistence using nhibernate.
In the sample code, there were Customer and CreditCard.
basically 1-to-M and M-to-1 nhibernate mapping respectively when using anemic models.
Based on my understanding of ddd, when creating a Customer, it should be loaded with all the info it needs, like the details and, based on the example, the "CreditCards" property.
If that property is exposed as ReadCollection and get only, how it is going to be populated?
- but the Repository now need to know this detail, must ensure that it populated the credits property before returning an instance of a Customer.
Great post. I have a question though - why would you use Create factory methods to create new instances instead of plain old constructors?
1. If constructor is used to create a cart, and constructor raises domain events then what should domain event be called? CartCreating or CartCreated? Technically Cart is not created until constructor has finished constructing the cart.
2. Constructors should be light and should just create the objects, even though domain event is a decoupled pub/sub pattern it's still synchronous and I really don't like the idea of my constructor executing some handles that are sending emails, auditing, etc.
Another reason as to why static methods for Object creation is, Input Validation. If the requirement states that a customer object cannot be created with an invalid email. InvalidArgumentException is the only option with constructor approach. With static method approach, the failure reason can be sent back to the caller with some specialized return type that can hold success/failure flag, actual object and a proper error message in-case of a failure. Using exceptions to handle the control flow is bad and expensive too.
Another reason could be, how the failed validation rules are sent to the caller. With constructor approach only option is to throw InvalidArgumentException. But, with static method you can communicate the object construction failure (because of valid validation rules, like invalid email for customer object creation from above code) using a specialized return type that can hold the actual object plus the failure reason in-case of a failure. This could be a better approach as using exceptions to alter the control flow is bad and expensive.
I have a question about moving from an anemic model to a domain driven design. In the anemic model, we were using data annotations which EF would use to map to tables in the database. With DDD, the models are not just data bags but contain the domain logic as well and are decoupled from persistence.
How does the infrastructure use this model with an ORM (EF is of interest to me)? How is the mapping to the database done? If the validation occurs in the domain, is there a duplicate logic going on in the infrastructure to setup (required, datalength, key, foreign key, and so forth) the DBContext? I would appreciate some insight here since I get the need to separate the model from persistence, but I don't see how you do this without repeating the model properties when setting up the database mappings.
Thank you very much for your article. It's very awesome.
I would like to have a question about aggregate roots, the nested ones.
PRODUCT and CATEGORY are considered as aggregate roots, How can we organize models and repositories for them ?

Patient brought medical malpractice action against orthopedic physician arising out of latter's treatment of former for ankle injury.
Plaintiff injured his left ankle sliding into second base while playing softball. He was treated at the Jacksonville Memorial Hospital emergency room where X-rays were taken. The next day he took the hospital X-rays with him to the doctor, an orthopedic surgeon. The doctor interpreted the X-rays to reveal an old fracture, but no acute or fresh break. He treated the ankle initially with a compression wrap to control the swelling and then placed the ankle in a non-weight bearing case. The doctor diagnosed Plaintiff's injury as a ligamentous sprain and treated him. The doctor took no additional X-rays, relying on those obtained at the emergency room. From the outset and during the doctor's treatment periods, Plaintiff continued to experience pain and swelling. After a short walking leg cast was applied, Plaintiff was advised to begin walking with support of the cast.
During the course of treatment Plaintiff continued to express concern about the pain, discomfort, swelling and general appearance and deformity of his left ankle and foot. Eventually, because of his concern over the continued pain, swelling and deformity of his ankle and his inability to bear much weight upon the left ankle, Plaintiff sought opinions from other orthopedic surgeons in Jacksonville. After taking additional X-rays and tomograms, one of the subsequent orthopedists concluded that the original doctor had misdiagnosed the injury. A triple arthodesis fusing the three surfaces of the talonavicular joint in Plaintiff's left ankle to stabilize the joint, alleviate the pain and permit some use of his left foot. After the surgery Plaintiff experiences a deformity and lack of motion which was rated as a 30% medical impairment to the left lower extremity.
The jury returned a verdict for Plaintiff and judgment followed. The court entered its final judgment in accordance with the verdict of $145,000.

Police arrests two Chinese men over ATM skimming case in Karachi.
Two Chinese men have been arrested by Police in Karachi on charges of installing skimming devices in ATMs. According to the Police, the suspects in custody visited ATMs near banks multiple times in the past 2-3 days. This raised suspicion among the employees of the bank.
One employee went on to talk to the Chinese, however, they tried to flee. Onlookers took hold of them until police arrived. The authorities also recovered skimmers and other hacking equipment from the possession of alleged suspects. Police arrested both individuals and brought them to SP Saddar Tauqeer Naeem’s office. Police later handed over the suspects to Federal Investigation Agency (FIA).
Police recovered following items from the possession of the arrested Chinese individuals. Chinese ID cards, skimmers, ATM cards and several other tools can be clearly seen in the photos.
We also managed to acquire videos showing Chinese men being taken in to custody.
People and security guard stop suspects from fleeing the scene.
This is not the first time that someone has tried to hack ATMs in Paksitan. Last year HBL reported that over 559 customers’ accounts were compromised by hackers and over Rs 10 million were stolen from them.
In 2016, FIA arrested a Chinese national for stealing data and money using skimming devices on an ATM. After the news of countrywide ATM hacking broke, FIA made multiple arrests and sent several individuals to jail. FIA says that banks still use obsolete and vulnerable technology in ATMs which makes them more susceptible to hacks.
State Bank of Pakistan, taking notice, issued directions to enhance security banks for installing Europay MasterCard Visa (EMV) system by 30th June, 2018.

Slow is hot. In recent years, movements have sprouted to explore slow food, slow art and slow family living. It’s a bit hard to fathom what exactly “slow” means in all these contexts. There’s a bit of pro-green living here, anti-materialism, mindful awareness, community-building, all of which loosely adds up to a slowing down in the tempo of life, or at least finding a speed other than high gear. The idea is hard to define, yet also hard to ignore at this moment in time, when so many complex, high-gear economic, medical, education and other systems seem broken.
Curious about the intersection between the recession and rise of slow, I recently interviewed families around Boston for my Globe column about whether their personal budget cuts had inspired slower living. The answer was a resounding yes. Some parents were already trying to simplify, by downshifting kid schedules or getting more eco-conscious, and job losses/pay cuts invigorated these efforts. Others had to cut spending fast, and were surprised by how good it felt to cut back on “must-have” activities, fancy vacations or even hired help. For these parents, slowing down meant depending on their own resourcefulness more than had for a long time. One mom gushed with pride at making her own laundry detergent.
It’s intriguing that for many families, slowing down means stepping “off the grid,” uncoupling from a dependence on complex consumer and cultural value systems. And according to anthropologists such as Joseph Tainter, a collective wish to go it alone is a sign that a complex civilization is crumbling. When highly evolved cultures begin to break down, citizens have little incentive to contribute to the society’s complex systems and infrastructures. Cultivating one’s own vegetable patch becomes more alluring than buying from the big-box market. Could “slow” be a harbinger of a simplification writ large, aka a dark age? Dark ages are messy, difficult, times of cultural simplification – that are often followed by renaissances. It will be interesting to see where “slowing down” takes us now.
Note: This post first appeared on Boston College’s Work-Family Network, where I occasionally blog.
I totally agree Maggie that being forced into this new way of being will bring folks to a whole new level of creativity of thought. Our whole system will undergo great change and bring us to new places.

Cheon Hyo-jeong gratifies children’s universal curiosity about how they were born and where they are from in her characteristically unstudied style. Avoiding clichéd accounts such as being brought by a stork or found under a bridge, she presents the adorable lies that a baby raccoon dog brought from an animal shelter has turned into a human baby, which is so novel and entertaining that young readers may be momentarily enticed to believe it. Reflecting the vivid experiences of the author, who recently began to raise a baby, the trial and error of the first-time parents in this tale will bring smiles to the mouths not only of children but also of parents. Also refreshing is the way in which this work warmly and wittily depicts the growing bond between parents and children without exaggeratedly “sanctifying” childrearing and motherhood.
As befits its title, this volume portrays the developmental process of the baby raccoon dog in each chapter. Episodes where the little animal vexes Mom and Dad by sleeping during the day and staying awake at night and moves them with its very first words will remind parents who are exhausted from childrearing and daily life of the happiest moments from their own process of raising youngsters. What is surprising about this story comes next, however: the book goes beyond a depiction of a child’s growth and reflects the growth of parents. Not perfect from the start and growing through mistakes, Mom and Dad in the tale will provide youngsters with an even greater sense of closeness to their parents and parents with consolation and a cause for empathy, respectively. Another noteworthy aspect is that the author does not portray childrearing, motherhood, and parents as absolute. Indeed, in this volume, parents are human, fearing that the baby raccoon dog will undergo metamorphosis and falling asleep in spite of themselves due to fatigue from taking care of the baby animal. On the other hand, the baby raccoon dog, which may turn into anything, can be read as a metaphor for the future of a child, which inevitably remains a mystery. The pledge of Mom and Dad that they will nevertheless love the baby raccoon dog regardless of its appearance in turn reveals the sense of responsibility harbored by mistake-prone first-time parents. The first passage of this work, which states that children choose their parents as much as the latter choose the former, and the final scene, where the child is embraced as a full-fledged member of the home and the family becomes even closer, together form a firm and beautiful ring.
Mom and Dad originally wished to raise a cute puppy or a smart parrot. However, after being told, “If you’re going to raise a pet, a raccoon dog is better” at an intriguing animal shelter that they visit by chance, they bring home a baby raccoon dog on a whim. Though the baby raccoon dog exhaust the young couple with escapades big and small, contrary to its adorable appearance, their love for it deepens after much ado. One day, however, as killer fleas spread nationwide, hairy animals can no longer be raised at homes. Will Mom and Dad be able to protect baby raccoon dog to the end? What will be the final choice of this now cornered animal?

Is ISIS oil machine aided by the West?
Connections lead to BMZ and Turkey’s Erdogan family.
Nov. 22, 2015 – ISIS is moving hundreds of millions of dollars of oil. Reports have described how the oil funds ISIS operations. They’ve taken the wells in northern Iraq and in Syria. In September Reuters reported that they had seized the last major oilfield under Syrian government control.
How is all this oil being shipped? How is it getting to market?
And, guess who owns BMZ? None other than Bilal Erdogan, son of the former Prime Minister of Turkey, Tiyyip Erdogan.
And, don’t worry, Erdoğan’s other son, Burak Erdoğan, also owns a fleet of ships.
On September 15th, TodaysZaman reported that Bilal’s firm just bought two new tankers for a cool $36 million. Hmmm, might that help with all that ISIS oil??
Turkey has been suffering some financial woes. Bloomberg reported on Friday that they have a choice to make, saying the slump in crude is undermining the kingdom’s ability to sustain spending.
Is this their solution to help the country, or is this a more personal venture for the former royal family, I wonder? After all, they can help their ISIS foes kill other factions of Muslims and slaughter Christians at the same time. That would be a big bang for the buck, so to speak.
Russia just hit the oil infrastructure with the biggest bombing raid in decades. Will that significantly impact their production?
Turkey may have played a part in 9/11 and here they are assisting ISIS. They have their hands in some ugly pots.
But even worse news is that there is no way U.S. Intelligence doesn’t know this; and they must have known for some time. The transport and sale of all that oil must have help from the West.
That means that the West is aiding and abetting ISIS in the slaughter of thousands of Christians.
I have to agree. This is just one of the many topics that leave the reader with only two choices: either all of these leaders in the West have gone clinically insane at the same time, or there is an agenda.
This is the chaos out of which they plan to birth their New Order. And it means that we are close, very close to that crescendo.

My concentration was broken by the distinct, loud, buzzing of an insect flying past the camera’s field of view.
I turned to follow the sound trail that fell silent as the large creature tumbled onto a leaf in the salal hedge in the riparian zone.
MUCH to my surprise… there, landed a Bumble Bee.
Interest in the Canada Geese evaporated in the instant it took for the Bumble Bee to settle on the leaf.
The Bumble Bee remained for more than an hour. I happily changed the focus of the practice session to the new arrival, and took dozens of photographs of her basking on the sun-soaked leaf.
The Xerces Society, in collaboration with the University of Ottawa, Wildlife Preservation Canada, the Montreal Insectarium, the Natural History Museum of London, and BeeSpotter, will be launching a citizen science initiative to track all species of North American bumble bees. This project will help us to follow the status of these essential pollinators and inform effective conservation actions. With our new website you will be able to upload photos, use an interactive identification tool, and submit georeferenced records of all North American bumble bees.
Are you interested in bumble bees? If so, the site is loaded with resources.
Not sure exactly which bumble bee you observed? No problem, in step three, “Identify your species,” a set of attributes charts helps you to hone in on the selection of a species. Bumble Bee Watch experts then verify, and post the photos as part of a growing data set.
I learned that the bumble bee in my photos is most likely a Vosnesensky bumble bee- Bombus vosnesenskii or Yellow-faced Bumble Bee. She is a female because they are the sole survivors of the previous year’s colony. The solitary queen emerges after overwintering in the ground in a small cavity she excavated call a hibernaculum. She will locate an appropriate nest site to lay the eggs that will start a new colony.
Previous Post: Jeep Super Bowl Ad … a glimmer of environmental and social sensitivity?
Eagle eye Jane strikes again. I am in awe of your patience and detailed knowledge 🙂 Just for interest and general irrelevance, we don’t see many bumble bees. I’ve seen more in a couple of visits to New Zealand than I’ve seen in a lifetime here. We do have native bees, though. I’ll have to keep my camera on the alert!
Now that you are on the alert… I predict you will notice more than you imagine. It really is pretty amazing how our “nature sense” lights up if we let it; I think our brains are wired for nature somehow. When the bumblebee arrived on the scene I may have missed the opportunity to see it had the sound not disrupted the focus on the geese.

For many people, the period between Thanksgiving and Christmas is the only time of year that their thoughts turn to the plight of the homeless. Money, food, and presents are donated. And time is volunteered at shelters. All to make sure that people without a home of their own have a nice holiday—at least for a few hours. Worthy efforts to be sure.
However, despite this periodic outpouring of compassion, there’s still an unfortunate tendency to individualize homelessness in our society. As with poverty in general, casual observers assume that it’s personal failings that cause people to end up without housing.
And while it’s a truism that every person bears some responsibility for the straits they find themselves in, there are three major structural problems out of the control of impoverished individuals that best explain the rise of homelessness in Massachusetts: savage cuts to our state mental health system, an economy that creates large numbers of bad low-wage jobs, and the destruction of affordable housing.
Taking these issues in turn, the Commonwealth started shutting down most of its oft-criticized inpatient mental hospitals on budget and civil liberties grounds in the 1970s—leading to the first wave of homeless people with few places to turn for help and little ability to escape their fate. Things have only gotten worse since then. According to Mass Live, over the last 20 years the legislature has cut spending on inpatient mental health services by half and outpatient spending has remained stagnant.
Next, National Public Radio recently reported that wages and benefits “essentially flatlined or declined for four of five Americans between 2007 and 2014.” As big business racked up super profits, and crushed labor unions. Continuing a trend that also started in the 1970s where wage growth has slowed dramatically for most working people even as their productivity has increased. People at the bottom of the economic pyramid have been hardest hit, and ever more working people are finding themselves unable to pay mortgages or rent with the money they make working two or even three bad low-wage jobs with no benefits and little opportunity for advancement.
Then there’s the acute problem of skyrocketing housing costs in the Bay State. Especially in the hot Metro Boston real estate market where either buying or renting has become terribly difficult for poor folks.
This situation began when rent control—which limited the ability of landlords to raise rents in a number of cities in Mass—was torpedoed in 1994 with a state referendum backed by the real estate industry. When rent control ended in 1995, landlords immediately started jacking rents far beyond many tenants’ ability to pay, and housing developers started building luxury apartments and condos at a far higher rate than desperately needed affordable housing. Building new public housing, once a saving grace to poor families, has been taken pretty much off the table on ideological grounds since the Reagan era.
Making matters worse, the devastating subprime mortgage scandal that started in 2007 and caused the Great Recession of 2008 led to nearly 22,000 foreclosure filings in one nine-month period in Mass in 2009, according to the Boston Globe. And there have been thousands more in the years since. A trend which is now accelerating again.
The result? As a 2016 report by the National Low Income Housing Coalition points out, the Commonwealth is short 166,960 affordable housing units for extremely low income households making 30 percent or less of their area’s median income. And the Mass Coalition for the Homeless states that the approximately 3,000 night shelter beds for individuals statewide are usually full or beyond capacity—and that there were 21,135 people in Massachusetts counted as experiencing homelessness during the January/February 2015 headcount conducted by the US Department of Housing and Urban Development. Numbers which barely begin to describe the magnitude of the crisis when hundreds of thousands of hard-working Bay State residents are just a couple of paychecks away from penury.
So if you really want to help homeless people—during the holidays and every day—you should consider joining advocates working to end homelessness. It’s not rocket science. Increasing our state mental health budget, passing living wage laws to make more jobs into decent ones, restoring rent control, devoting public funds to build lots of decent affordable housing, and properly taxing the rich and corporations to pay for such needed reforms will go a long way toward stopping the structural poverty forcing people out of their homes. Making us a better and more compassionate society in the bargain.

 I'm a Mac lover. The love of the Mac has been with me forever. I've got iBook Author software. I created two ibooks so far with the program. The Myth of Cyber City--A journey into cyberspace, into the phenomena of Information Art--where cyber robots build mysterious complex structure--on the back roads of Cyber City.
Having produced two ibooks, I decided to add another. The Myth of Orpheus. I am editing the text. I've got the illustrations. The music for my book is forthcoming. The iBook is the perfect vehicle for my digital art and for the music.
So that's my history of using IBook Author.
As an English major I was fortunate to fly into the Information Highway under the spell of my instructors, the late Sister Judith Savard, RSHM, who was the Chair of the Art Department and Roz Dimon, 21st Century American Artist. Under their guidance I entered the world of computer art. One day, at my Mac I saw spectacular visuals of cyber lines and colors dancing on my screen. Dazzled, I imagined a cyber world inside my computer. I designed the digital art and wrote text using cyber language. I'd read Cara Mccarthy's book, "Information Art; Diagramming Microchip;s." The Museum of Modern Art. I contacted McCarthy and described my ibook idea. I got the go-ahead.
Bit by bit, a mythical story invented itself. My ibook opens in Cyber City. You enter the phenomena of Information Art. A city where cyber robots build mysterious complex structures under the sandy bridge. Microchips are retrieved and stored. And my ibook, "The Myth of Cyber City" was born.
A Blueprint in the Wind has a major update, an update that ties in Tom Parisi's blueprint illustrations to Floyd Bennett Field Gateway. On the month and year of his death--December, 2011--his hand-built model air planes had been commissioned by HARP, to be exhibited in Hanger B, in the Historic Aircraft Restoration Project at Floyd Bennett Field, Brooklyn, New York.
It has been a long journey to get all of my brother's life's work together, but an uplifting journey, at that. I have gain considerable knowledge about my brother and do hope I have done what was important for his legacy. I do know that through the mystery of cyber space, his work is LIVE in the i-bookstore.
The Theme of A Blueprint in the Wind.
A spiritual journey down memory lane inspired by the power of technical drawings and lyrical notes my late brother, Tom Parisi, left behind, in a mix of Edgar Allan Poe's poetry. The book contains Interactive elements and pop-ups .
Why did I write this book? My brother left me. He is in a free place strumming his guitar. He is missed. My husband Bob and I needed to make his presence felt even if he is so far off in the distance. This little ibook was assembled with much love with lots of tough decisions. Like, would Tom like this? After all, he wasn't into Facebook or social networking. He was into his own world playing his music. So where do I, his sister, decide to promote his life's work, the little that I have. His technical drawing. The music he had sent to me over the information highway. A birthday gift.
My husband Bob encouraged this book, encouraged me to "do it." And so with my husband reading it over and over and over and when he believed it was right, I submitted, A Blueprint to the iBookstore publishers. Not an easy task. I had to wait until the book was approved. Apple wants the book to be the best it can be. That is, the way it is. Actually, I'm quite happy about that.
Anyway, here it is for you to judge. Maybe, there is someone whose spirit you can feel too.

Did Build-A-Bear destroy its brand with a successful promotion?
Sometimes “while supplies last” disclaimer language just doesn’t cut it with consumers. That was the case with Build-A-Bear Workshop’s “Pay Your Age” promotion yesterday, which drew large crowds at the chain’s stores in the U.S., Canada and the U.K. only to have many turned away when locations were closed due to “safety concerns,” according to a company statement.
The promotion, first announced on Monday, was enthusiastically received by consumers who saw the opportunity to purchase stuffed animals that typically cost between $10 and $25 for as low as a dollar. After being turned away, members of Build-A-Bear’s Bonus Club were instructed to refer to the company website to receive a voucher for promotion.
While it can be argued that Build-A-Bear is not “technically” at fault for the events of the day, there seems little doubt that the company’s brand will be damaged in the eyes of some — how many we do not know — in the process.
"Unless they were trying to clear out some awful inventory, there is absolutely no good reason to undercut your brand value that much. "
"Upsetting people’s children is incredibly bad for any brand, and Build-A-Bear has some work to do to bring customers back on side."
"In this instance, I think the “bad” publicity for Build-a-Bear’s pay-your-age promotion was mostly a good thing."
23 Comments on "Did Build-A-Bear destroy its brand with a successful promotion?"
“Pay your age” was a stunt, but lines at Build-A-Bear are nothing new. I was invited to the opening of the new experiential store a few years ago, and there was a line snaking through the mall, without pricing tricks. As retailers look for ways to create attention and excitement, expect more Black Friday-style events at a lot of different formats.
Who can estimate accurately the impact of such a promotion? Customers probably crawled out of the woodwork when they heard about it. There is no practical way to be able to re-order product when you have a one-day event like this. Sure customers will be disappointed, but this is Build-A-Bear’s opportunity to run another such event and tweak it. Build-A-Bear has an ongoing event during which one can “pay your age” on one’s birthday. There will be some fallout from this but the company has a desirable product and can make it up to customer (they gave out vouchers) to maintain their loyalty. It’s not going to bring the walls down.
I have no idea why Build-A-Bear thought this was a good idea. Unless they were trying to clear out some awful inventory, there is absolutely no good reason to undercut your brand value that much. I mean, forget about the lines. If they set the expectation that this may ever happen again, they will have instantly trained their customers to just wait to buy anything.
If they were really determined to do this to themselves, they should’ve waited for Prime Day and pulled all those parents into the mall on the day they could’ve been home shopping for extreme deals via Alexa or that big desktop experience. I know it wouldn’t have stopped them from shopping on their phones, but you know — that’s still a tougher experience on a smaller screen. You get what you get, especially when what you’re trying to get is bottom feeding, ultra-price-sensitive shoppers who care little about your brand.
Nothing like standing in line for hours with small children (and then leaving with those children deeply disappointed) to build brand equity. It’s surprising that Build-A-Bear didn’t test this in a single market so they could understand the logistical risks involved.
… or maybe they did test it, which makes yesterday’s botch look worse.
As mentioned, this promotional gimmick won’t cause a significant amount of erosion in brand equity long-term, but what did it achieve? What was the actual ROI on this, and how many customers were served? A young person aged 5 to 10 years old presumably is able to acquire a product for upwards of 90 percent off? That’s great value, but certainly doesn’t speak to service when you have to shut it down early. I’m curious how much thought and planning went into this.
Good news: People like Build-A-Bear. Bad News: People REALLY like Build-A-Bear. This could be the most successful failure in Build-A-Bear’s history. The worst result is that it left disappointed kids and the feelings of “I am a bad parent” will likely be turned on the retailer for some time, creating ill will and hurting brand equity. They should have anticipated and tested this idea before going all-in. Shame on them.
To the questions: yes, no and brand equity severely damaged. Perhaps not as much as Papa John’s but tarnished nonetheless. Now the company needs to launch an aggressive campaign targeted to all affected shoppers, not simply its Bonus Club members. Build-A-Bear is not a victim of circumstances it could not control. It created the situation and now needs to address it swiftly and positively.
There is an old adage: Love me, love my kids. Look, promotions are a good thing when they are thought out in advance. At Build-A-Bear, what did they think was going to happen? And then the nightmare occurred, with pictures and videos of kids crying because the store couldn’t fulfill their dream promise. You can’t ask a kid if they want a sucker, and then say to them: “tomorrow”! Resurrection? A disaster … maybe not. But the brand has taken a big hit. All the talk will probably subside in a few days, and the people at Build-A-Bear will sigh with slight relief. However, positive, ongoing messaging from Build-A-Bear is going to be critical here. Not irreparable damage, but a big hit occurred. They “shoulda” known.
I think Build-A-Bear actually handled it quite well. Sure not everyone was able to get their bear, but no major instances of violence or especially inappropriate behavior were reported – at least that I saw.
As for future demand, the upset parents might hold a grudge but their disappointed children won’t! If anything missing out yesterday will make them want a Build-A-Bear even MORE so the brand lives on.
I think the crazy takeaway from this is the limited value people have for their own time. Driving to the mall then standing in line for two to four hours to save what, $20? Just another check mark against the “rational consumer” box.
My niece’s two daughters participated yesterday then were at our house for a party.
Their parents were frustrated at the six hours it took to get their bears. Yet they proudly carried in their boxed bears and showed them off all evening — laying on them, carrying them, hugging them — and reveled in boxing them back up at the end of the evening.
So I don’t expect damage to the brand from the ill-considered promotion. As Bernbach once observed in advertising, the client will far longer remember the superb ad than the two months it was late.
That said, I wouldn’t recommend they hold the promotion again. No need to undercut the value of a premium-priced product like theirs.
Upsetting people’s children is incredibly bad for any brand, and Build-A-Bear has some work to do to bring customers back on side.
Underestimating demand happens, but it is puzzling how the company didn’t foresee any of the issues. There are better promotions that could have been run, or limits that could have been put in place to manage expectations.
You had to join their Bonus Club to get the deal so growing their customer list was part of the thought process. Maybe the marketing department should have had a conversation with its store managers before giving this one the go ahead.
“Don’t pay any attention to what they write about you. Just measure it in inches.” I don’t see Build-A-Bear’s reputation taking a dive on this one — if anything it just underscores the brand’s popularity with kids and reinforces the success of their business model. The same people going home disappointed will be back in the line during another promotion or holiday — but this time they’ll arrive earlier. Saying your promotion was so popular you literally shut the mall down is a great way to start a call with investors. Good for them. For the people complaining about leaving empty handed — what were you expecting from a promotion of this magnitude?
In-store events is one of our specialties. One of the things we encourage retailers to do is run through a detailed checklist of things to do before choosing to run an in-store event. The Pay Your Age promotion at a beloved store like Build-A-Bear would not have made it through the filter.
Aside from the damage already in the books, offering a $15 voucher in lieu of a promotion where you could choose any “furry friend” in the store for your kid’s age is adding insult to injury.
Seriously, I can’t stop shaking my head.
I love all of the comments about how Build A Bear should have projected the success of this promotion. 20/20 hindsight is always perfect. The promotion was still a success in two ways. Yes there were winners who got a bear and they are giving vouchers to the others. The promotion got people in the stores and also got lots of publicity.
In this instance, I think the “bad” publicity for Build-a-Bear’s pay-your-age promotion was mostly a good thing. It generated a ton of media exposure and, in a way, helped to justify the premium positioning of its product.
I wouldn’t try to repeat it, but in this moment there’s a remediation opportunity (the $15 coupons) that may drive even more business and shopper engagement.
I wonder how many of the kids who couldn’t get a bear that day will be back later, when the dust settles to get one … betting a lot and in the end there will be quite a few customers who are reacquainted with the Build-A- Bear experience.
I’m sure there were some disappointed children and parents. That said, was Build-A-Bear ready for the crowds? Did they do something for the crowds — and the people they turned away? There were a number of ways they could have planned this promotion — perhaps a lottery, contest, etc. The response of a voucher was better than just turning them away their fans. If they capture the customer’s info at the time the voucher is sent, they have a great opportunity to engage with the customer and rebuild confidence.
Let me offer the contrarian view: it afforded them priceless, “you-can’t-buy-this” publicity that intrigued lots of people and made them aware of a brand they had never heard of; I would be one of them. Of course I’m also not in the target demographic, so I don’t know how valuable this revelation really is … or how much I would buy this particular contrarian view.
But regardless, it happened: so the usual mea culpa’s and move on … hopefully planning a little better (and one possible upside, if the brand was damaged, fewer customers — just not TOO many fewer — might make it a little easier to deal with promotions).
All I can add to this is how something sold way, way below its true value will create chaos, and Build-A-Bear definitely created a crowd. I remember some of my insane deals over the years, and it draws some bloodthirsty deal hunters, that will push and shove their way to get want they want, and you won’t see them again, until the next insane deal. We had fights over 25lb. bags of flour at 69 cents many years ago, and my dad had to break customers up to make sure no one got hurt.
Retail is a bare knuckle brawl, when these sales occur, and Black Friday actually had some poor souls die, being stomped on to get to the $99 TVs, so this is not something new, and any crazy promotion must be thought thru to manage the crowds, and continue to run the event successfully and safely.
Whoever planned the promotion (PR? Marketing?) should have had a pretty good idea of the implications of this type of event — that’s what professionals are paid to know. The minute there was a spike of signups on the VIP program, which was required, someone should have raised a flag. Lines should have been anticipated, issues with customer volume should have been addressed up front — just so many wrongs with this whole promotion.
And if the shopping centers weren’t prepared, that’s also something that should have been thought of way in advance. Instead of a promotion that could have been great, they got a huge PR disaster, which may cost them many more millions of dollars than expected. The CEO had to go on national TV to apologize. Heads should roll.
How likely is Build-A-Bear’s brand image to be tarnished around the events surrounding its ‘Pay Your Age’ promotion?

An explosive opening two rounds of the 2016 Intrust Super Cup season will feature a highly-anticipated grand final re-match and two passionate coaches plotting against their former clubs for the first time.
The paths of 2015 grand finalists the Ipswich Jets and Townsville Blackhawks cross early on, with the rivals facing off at the North Ipswich Reserve as part of the Jets’ Defence Force Appreciation initiative in Round 2.
Adding further spice to the second round is the prospect of former Easts coach Craig Ingebrigtsen bringing the Sunshine Coast Falcons to the Tigers’ den.
It’s another promoter’s dream in Round 1 on the weekend of March 5-6 when former Cutters premiership-winning coach Kim Williams returns to Mackay for the first time as coach of the Central Queensland Capras.
While the fierce rivalries will stoke the fire, there will be a much softer side to the Intrust Super Cup in 2016 with the QRL and its 14 clubs determined to further strengthen their community ties.
· ANZAC Round – April 23-24-25, Round 8: Match to include ANZAC Day blockbuster between Burleigh Bears and PNG Hunters.
· Indigenous Appreciation Round – May 14-15, Round 10.
· Men of League & NRL Foundation Round – July 16-17, Round 19.
· Country Week – July 23-24, Round 20.
· Women in League Round – August 6-7, Round 22.
· Turn to Me Round – August 27-28, Round 25.
· XXXX Rivalry Matches – to be held at various stages of season.
Channel 9 will again bring fans live Sunday afternoon television coverage over the course of the 25 rounds and finals series.
The competition’s showpiece match is scheduled to be played at Suncorp Stadium on Sunday, September 25, with the winner progressing to the NRL State Championship match in Sydney the following weekend.
Queensland’s representative will be shooting for a third-consecutive win in the popular format following the recent success of the Northern Pride and Ipswich Jets.
QRL Competitions Manager Dave Maiden said this match provided another fantastic pathway opportunity for players.
“The Pride and Jets have represented Queensland and the Intrust Super Cup with distinction since the launch of this concept,” Maiden said.
All clubs will contest 23 regular season matches (two byes each) in their quest to qualify for the Intrust Super Cup top six.
Maiden said it was not feasible for all clubs to play each other twice as the season would then become too demanding on players, many of whom hold down full-time jobs.
“After consultation with our clubs, we have endeavoured to place a priority on local derbies to ensure the competition’s biggest rivals meet twice,” he said.

A really, really simple event creator. Just add new events and publish. The shortcode lists all the events. The settings pages let you select how you want the event displayed.
Whilst the plugin does work with Gutenberg/WP5 the event editor is now a bit clunky. To integrate the plugin fully with WordPress 5 will take a lot of work and I just don’t have the time. If you want the plugin let me know and we can do some negotiation.
If you want the plugin in your own language you can use a plugin like loco translate to create the necessary translation files. If you do create a translation please snd me the files so I can add them to the plugin repository.
This is an example of an event post.
This is the list of events.
Go to ‘Plugins’, ‘Add New’ then search for ‘quick event manager’.
Select the plugin then ‘Install Now’.
Go to the plugin ‘Settings’ page to change how the events display.
Go to your permalinks page and re-save to activate the custom posts.
To use the form in your posts and pages add the shortcode [qem].
How do I add a new event?
In the main dashboard, click on ‘event’ then ‘add new’.
Use the plugin settings page. You can’t style individual events, they all look the same.
Can I add more fields?
Well OK yes you can add more fields if you want but you are going to have to fiddle about with the php file which needs a bit of care and attention. Everything you need to know is in the wordpress codex.
Comprehensive shortcode options allow it to be dropped in to pages easily. I was able to drop each month's events into a 'fold' of an accordion.
This Quick event manager is simply awesome! It has tons of great features but it is still so light weight. No unnecessary bells and whistles. No greedy pricing plans such as requiring expensive yearly subscriptions and so on. I believe this plugin was built with the simple intent of solving customer needs! The better of all, the plugin writer, Graham, is super responsive and adds features regularly. I had a need to have some specific functionalities and required fields (such as private notes) in the plugin. After reaching out to Graham about it, to my surprise, Graham just built those out and released an update quickly. The plugin is very easy and intuitive to use. It's very straightforward for the event manager with no technical background to add events. The plugin renders nicely on any device and it just works! I've the pro version and it meets all my needs. Awesome job Graham! Keep up the good work.
The plugin works well, and easy to integrate and customize. I don't give 5 stars because it use an external insecure ressource (not https and could be) 'http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jqueryui/1.8.2/themes/smoothness/jquery-ui.css?ver=xxxxxxx'.
Scheint genau das zu können was ich brauche.
I have tried most of the event management and ticketing system out there. Most are too bloated or want way to much for paid ticket support. For the small price of the pro version this plugin provides the lightest possible events manager and paid ticket system integrating with PayPal and stripe with all the features usually required for organising events, including MailChimp integration. The support has been amazing as well. I had an issue and in less than 12 hours Graham, the developer provided a fix! The only issue with the plugging it's the lack of multiple ticket types.
“Quick Event Manager” is open source software. The following people have contributed to this plugin.
Translate “Quick Event Manager” into your language.
Shortcode to only show today’s events.
Option to limit registration to registered users.
Added feature to display maps on event list.
Option to add ‘go back to event list’ link on events.
Solved the problem with displaying today’s events.

Will Israel’s largest trading partner (the EU) use its economic muscle against Israeli settlements? Some famous former officials from Israel and beyond are calling for just that.
The European Union once again dragged its feet on a decision to implement the labeling of products from Israeli settlements this May, in deference to John Kerry’s latest peace efforts.
Depending on the outcome – or lack thereof – of Kerry’s diplomacy, however, the issue could soon reappear on the EU agenda and a number of high profile Israeli, international and Palestinian figures are making clear their support for labeling.
The Elders, a group of former statesmen (and women) working to advance human rights, justice and peace, published a video last week explaining the importance of labeling settlement products.
Speaking in the video, former Knesset speaker Avraham Burg compares giving consumers choices in using their purchasing power to support environmentally friendly manufacturing in choosing not to buy settlement products.
If a product “was produced [on] the other side of the fence, the other side of reality, the other side of goodness, I should have, as a customer, a choice, or at least I should be informed” before purchasing it,” Burg says.
Alon Liel, former director general of Israel’s Foreign Ministry and outspoken critic of Israel’s settlements in the West Bank, explains that as someone who views settlements as “placing a huge, huge question mark on the future of peace in the region,” he treats products produced in settlements differently than those manufactured in Israel proper.
When regulated by official guidelines, labeling is a matter of policy. Its impact, however, is to empower regular citizens to use their purchasing power to effect social and political change, Semma Quran of Palestinians for Dignity explains in the video.
Encouraging the EU to play a stronger role in the region, the Edlers believe that Europe “has the potential to alter the current stalemate by making clear the distinction between Israel within the pre-1967 borders and Israeli settlements beyond the Green Line in the West Bank and East Jerusalem,” a statement from The Elders Foundation said.
Voices from within the EU are also becoming louder in their calls to label settlement products, both for consumer choice and to ensure they are not granted favored tariff status. As reported in +972 earlier this year, European diplomats based in Jerusalem and the West Bank sent a report to Brussels with a clear message: principled and legal stands against illegal settlements – and in favor of a two-state solution – are in vain if the EU takes no action.
A report written for the UN Human Rights Council in February went even further, calling on governments to warn business against operating in settlements.
Will Europe take a leading role on Israel/Palestine?

The trick to homemade tots with that classic crunch and flavor? Get your oil hot enough and don’t crowd the pan. Making your tots in batches will ensure you get perfect results every time.
In a large bowl, add the potato cubes, 2 tablespoons oil, and ½ teaspoon of salt, tossing well to coat. Spread the potatoes out in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the bottoms are browned but the tops are a little undercooked, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes.
Pour vegetable oil to a depth of 4 inches into a large, heavy-bottomed pot. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until a deep-fry or candy thermometer inserted into the oil reaches 375°. Set a cooling rack over a layer of paper towels.
Meanwhile, transfer the cooled potatoes to the bowl of a food processor, along with any remaining oil from the baking sheet, and pulse about 30 times or until the potato pieces are pea-sized or smaller.
Pour the potatoes into a large bowl, then add the potato flakes, butter, and remaining ½ teaspoon salt, then stir to combine.
Using about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture at a time, form a classic tot shape with your hands, placing each tot on a plate or rimmed baking sheet as you go. Repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
Fry the tots in batches of 10 until crispy, about 4 to 5 minutes per batch. (Make sure the oil temperature returns to 375° before frying each additional batch.) Transfer to the cooling rack to cool slightly. Serve hot.

Neshaminy High School is a large public high school in Langhorne, Pennsylvania, located on Old Lincoln Highway.
Neshaminy High School consists of one main hallway, with hallways branching off of the main by department, arranging classes of similar types (such as art, math, social studies, and science) in the same region of the school.
There are two gymnasiums, one at the front of the school and one at the back. Of its two theaters, the smaller black box theater is used primarily for performances by the school's drama department. The larger Theodore Kloos Auditorium in the front of the building is used by the school's music department and outside groups for performances, and Neshaminy's annual musical.
In 2003 the Neshaminy school board proposed the demolition of the current school building and construction of a new facility on current school grounds. This plan was priced at $100 million and would require the issuance of an $85 million tax funded bond. In April 2004 residents defeated the new building plan via referendum due in large part to the price.

Kodi Community Forum - Addon Translations?
Kodi Community Forum > Development > Translations and Languages > Addon Translations?
Just wondering if we are bothering with Addon translations any more?
currently the transifex-github sync code is being rewritten, we'll post a heads-up here when it's back on track.
Hi, just wanted to ask what the current status is. The documentation is as always pretty sparse.
What about the Transifex repository? Should I still (or again) bother submitting my PO file?
What about plural handling? Have there been any changes to the API for this?
Is there now a better way of referring to translated strings in the code other than xbmcaddon.Addon(str).getLocalizedString(int)?
What does that mean? What am I displaying to the user here? Is there any way I can get translation strings by their msgid instead of the msgctxt or are there any plans to make that possible in the future? Commenting all calls to getLocalizedString() is not really an option.
the status is pretty much unknown. there's only one team member, with very little spare time, working on transifex.
as far as i know no one is working on plural handling, or any other localization specific code, at the moment.
May I guess that this is also the reason why the latest Kodi releases still support XML language files?

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a year! I’ve been working on Asulia full time since September 2012. Looking back at the past 12 months, I see that I’ve made a lot of progress as a food start-up, all while being self-funded. No matter what happens, I can be proud of that.
Tested, tasted, and developed 3 vegan dumpling recipes: taro root, chickpea and kale.
Changed the hand cut dumpling wrapper from white to wheat.
Sourced dumpling ingredients, as locally as possible.
Reshot food photography multiple times.
Looked through hundreds of logos.
Reworked various logos multiple times.
Branded and then rebranded – I actually started with a different name.
Went through 3 graphic designers until I found the right fit.
Completed packaging development and design.
Found a kitchen to make the dumplings. This took months to do!
Found an environmentally-friendly printer to work with, after calling dozens of places and researching for hours on end.
Became a certified YouthTrade company.
Obtained vegan certification for all three fusion dumpling flavors.
Blogged, emailed, tweeted and posted updates on FB.
Figured out Asulia’s personality. What does she like? What matters to Asulia? What matters to me? This is a key part of our brand.
Started blogging for Huff Post.
Walked through what felt like football fields of food at two Fancy Food Shows in San Francisco (thanks to air miles) and in NYC.
Attended (and will continue to attend) numerous food networking events.
Attended the Stonyfield’s annual entrepreneurship institute and was selected as a case study.
Along the way, I’ve laughed, cried, and met some truly great people. I’ve lost sleep and skipped meals, but I’ve also eaten some great food in the name of research! I’ve made mistakes. I’ve gotten lucky. I’ve learned so much about business and myself.
But most importantly, I never gave up.
Sue, you’re amazing and such an inspiration!!! Keep up the good work and please don’t give up!!!
Blushing digitally. Thank you so much! Grateful for your support.

The meeting decided to make necessary correspondence to respective authorities to maintain and comply the earlier decisions of maintaining the status quo in the cultivation of land until a solution is reached between the two Governments.
During the three day meeting, extensive discussion was held on various matters relating to ongoing Nepal-India boundary work.
The meeting also reviewed the outcome of the 4th meeting of BWG held in Dehradun last year and observed that the guidelines issued by it have been properly followed.
It agreed to finalize the work schedule for the remaining field seasons.
BWG is a joint body constituted by the Governments of India and Nepal in 2014 to carry out works in the fields of construction, restoration and repair of boundary pillars including clearance of ‘No-man’s land’ and other technical tasks.


text: I fired up the glory hole today for the first time in the new shop. It started smoking and then I realized the smoke was coming from the water burning out from within the cement refractory on the floor and the face plate retention ring. The glory hole is about 85% complete. It functioned well and warmed up quickly. It will take some tweeking to get the air/propane mixture correct in the flame.

With over a mile of ocean frontage and 21.5 acres of property Topanga Beach is the first real beach in Malibu.
This is one of the most popular surfing spots in the area but the waves here break over cobblestones and reef so this is not an ideal swimming spot.
Aside from surfing, many visit this beach to scuba dive, fish, and sunbath.
This beach offers 96 parking spaces and beach wheelchairs are also available. There are also restrooms, a picnic area, and showers on site.

The boss of British Airways and Iberia, Willie Walsh, yesterday hit out at Heathrow saying that it was ripping off passengers by use of excessive charges. Is there truth behind this or is it just two businesses playing politics to get the best deals for themselves?
From the airline’s point-of-view, airport charges are costs it cannot control. It can raise or lower the cost of our tickets, it can hedge its fuel bill and it can control its own staffing and administration costs. But what an airport charges it to get a passenger through its terminals is completely out of its hands. By shouting and screaming now before the regulator sets the costs, it hopes to influence what the eventual cost will be.
At present, if I fly to Alicante at the end of next month on BA from Heathrow, I will pay £28.30 for passenger service charges which I take to largely be airport connected costs. If I fly from Gatwick on the same day, the costs are only £12.27 so Heathrow is more than double.
Walsh’s view is that passengers could end up paying £27 more if Heathrow has its way. So why doesn’t Walsh – if he is concerned – take a leaf out of Ryanair’s Michael O’Leary’s book and threaten to pull out his flights from Heathrow and move them elsewhere?
The answer is probably because Walsh has painted himself into a corner by always insisting on the importance of Heathrow and that expansion must take place there. Moving flights to Gatwick – and there is some capacity – would save money that he would pass on to passengers but so what? He passes the Heathrow costs on to us anyway. BA and all the other airlines wouldn’t lose; we – the passengers – would.
So what we have is grandstanding, nothing more and nothing else. And probably no great concern for passengers either as long as we continue to fly and choose BA or Iberia.
It’s the Willie and Mikey show!

Within the sewer cleaning and industrial disposal sector, KAISER has become synonymous with innovative technological solutions. The core elements of KAISER vehicles, such as the high-pressure jetting pump, vacuum pump and recycling system, represent technologies in their own right and are all part of an optimally tuned design approach.
This integrated system provides our customers with significant benefits. The outstanding performance, higher payload and low maintenance requirements ensure the vehicles’ high operational efficiency. Moreover, exhaust and noise emissions are substantially reduced as a result of fewer trips for refilling and disposal.
KAISER products are characterised by a high level of technological individuality and in many countries have already become the benchmark for specific technical solutions.
For over 40 years, the pressure transformer principle developed by KAISER has proved itself to be the ideal solution for sewer cleaning – particularly in combination with water recycling. The KDU is a hydraulically driven high-pressure water pump which converts oil pressure/flow directly into water pressure/flow. Pressure and flow rate can be set independently of one another.
The KDU is driven by a power- and pressure-controlled hydraulic pump which is powered by the truck's power take-off. The required power is adjusted to suit the respective jetting job. In combination with a flow-optimised, symmetrical piping arrangement, this results in significantly reduced fuel consumption.
In contrast with a high-pressure water pump based on the triplex plunger principle, the piston action of the KDU is very slow. As a consequence, the KDU can safely run dry and is unaffected by dirty water. The small number of moving parts ensures exceptionally quiet running and low-noise operation. The valves on the water side are reusable. Due to the hydraulic drive, the maintenance required on the mechanical drive is minimal. The water pressure is set and controlled on the hydraulic side. This means that a pressure control bypass valve, which is susceptible to wear, can be dispensed with on the high-pressure water side.
As early as the mid-1980s, KAISER developed the first liquid ring pump in a light construction for mobile applications. A water ring is built up inside the KWP housing by the centrifugal force generated by an offset impeller. Changes in volume cause air to be drawn into the impeller cells and compressed. This design ensures a low level of sensitivity to dirt particles and is ideally suited to vacuuming wet and dry materials. The non-contacting impeller ensures smooth running and a long service life. Our KWP does not produce any contamination caused by lubricants or oil in the air discharged by the pump. The bearings run in an oil bath and do not require maintenance.
The light-weight construction increases the vehicle's payload. The integrated Intercooler system ensures a consistently low temperature budget for the service water. Continuous operation is also possible in the case of high external temperatures, and even prolonged vacuuming operations in the end vacuum range do not result in any overheating of the KWP.
Additional natural cooling, frost protection through water insulation and reinforced sound insulation are achieved by installing the KWP in the fresh water tank. The short suction lines to the sludge tank ensure an optimum degree of efficiency. This construction type also permits vacuum/pressure operation when tilted.
The centrepiece of the ROTOMAX water recycling system is an oscillating rotary filter drum. Built into the front part of the sludge tank, this one-stage filter system separates solids from sewer water. The filtered water is channelled directly (without settling basin) to the KAISER pressure transformer for further jetting operations.
Runs to refill with jetting water are dispensed with, fuel and water consumption reduced. A multi-stage filter system is not needed if the KDU is used. This reduces body weight and cuts cleaning and maintenance outlay. In comparison with other sewer cleaning vehicles, KAISER vehicles offer up to 4.5 tons more payload.
The self-cleaning effect of the oscillating rotary filter drum is additionally enhanced by a backflushing system. When it come to continuous operation in sewers featuring a high fat content and extreme soiling, there is no other system on the market that can match the performance of the KAISER ROTOMAX system with backflushing.
The water recycling system saves 90,000 litres of fresh water, based on a jetting rate of 300 litres per minute and a jetting period of 5 hours. Waste gas and noise emissions are substantially reduced due to fewer retanking and waste depot runs.
"THE PATENTED KAISER RECYCLING SYSTEM SAVES 24,000,000 LITRES OF FRESH WATER PER YEAR PER VEHICLE."

First I wish to thank you for this fine piece of software.
I would ask for something that I guess a lot classical and jazz listerners would appreciate.
very important to sort a library.
"Georges Gershwin" and "Georges Gershwin and Ira Gershwin" are considered as two different entries.
Yes, I plan to do something similar but more generic, so that each song can have a list of "role:artist" (same role can appear multiple times). Though there are of course some problems to solve to do that so it's not really progressing currently.
The artist separation is imperfect and messy, so I don't really want to extend it to other artist fields as it will be more stuff to deprecate once a proper solution is implemented.
