The 80's bought about the idea of the 'global brand' – having a single identity and brand positioning replicated across the world like an emanating echo of meaning. However, the reality has been a little different; particularly within FMCG, as line extensions to brands have driven sales – and at such a pace.
This pace of change has been most apparent for consumer goods and, within that, grocery more so than corporate or luxury.
Therefore, seeing global signs and signals for banks or cars kind of works, essentially due to consumer drivers being based on reassurance or status associated to the host country.
But this global shift seems to work less well when consumers desire new-ness or convenience at an everyday needs level.
So like all great ideas they move on, hence the term 'Glocal' (acting local in a global framework) – a marketing concept that has been bandied about for years but that brand owners are only just starting to act upon rather than just pay lip service to.
So what does it really mean? Being truly 'Glocal' is identifying global attributes and meaning associated to a brand but allowing for local variations that reflect the meaning which is relevant to individual cultures. The benefit of 'Glocalism' is it's more likely to connect on an emotional level. Even if a brand demonstrates it is relevant to local consumers through a functional line extension, they are trying to resonate more and that creates an emotional connection.
Although many brands are still adopting the carbon copy brand strategy of the 80's, the days of the brand that preached to local markets from afar seems to be numbered. So it is no surprise that brands which identify a local meaning and tap into a relevant desire appear to be on the increase…
Mars' Galaxy/ Dove chocolate always had a different name in the UK versus the US and continental countries but all were positioning around female indulgence, as reflected in its 'chocolate signature' brand icon that has been adopted worldwide. But how is the brand adapting to local needs?
- In the US the brand was elevated within grocery through the use of unusual flavours and formats to create a platform to extend further and drive credibility
- A more recent strategy in the US has been to move the Dove brand away from grocery confectionery and into the home kitchen environment with their 'Chocolate Discovery' concept which centres around a sponsored Mars Chocolatier
This has in turn allowed the brand to extend into condiments and ingredients to include a savoury offer as well as sweet whilst still being true to the brands indulgent heritage.
Other interesting examples are Philadelphia and Ponds. Philly cream cheese became far more indulgent with its launch of a chocolate variety. In the UK and the continent the indulgence came from the sub brand brand being Cadbury or Milka, and all the associations of confectionery. The global brand mark is retained as a consistent global icon. However, the strategy to tap into local markets appears to have been one based on line extensions:
- Convenient cooking sauces fit with a local convenience need state for the UK and also Australia. The strategy fits well with Philadelphia's heritage reflected in the global brand identity without too many shocks for local markets!
However, look at how Philly US has pushed that into an overt brand positioning for its local market using its sub brand 'indulgence' which introduces chocolate dipping sauces to make even the most ordinary snacks into something special. The global brand identity is still featured but does this stretch the brand too far leaving a question mark around credibility in the minds of the local consumers? This brand launch certainly seems less appropriate for some of the EU markets even if it is working on a local level for the US.
Ponds is another brand that has looked at global opportunities in a very local way. The classic Ponds brand and its characteristic jar still exists to its hardcore fans in the UK. However, it has positioned itself as an indulgent cosmetic brand for the South American market.
This premium positioning has also filtered into India and Asia Pacific with their ranges tapping into a very local need for skin whitening products.
It does feel like brands are starting to understand the need for global attributes but realise that concentrating solely on the global is likely to alienate. Understanding what meaning is associated to the brand can help a global brand transition into local markets.
Identifying local requirements at a visual brand level and looking at line extensions that resonate with local markets is key. A shift has occurred and brands that are still trying to retro fit global values and beliefs into very specific local markets do so at their peril.

It was nearly three years ago that Ancho Reyes introduced its Chile to Miami. The chili-infused liqueur has spread among many local bar programs. Spirits visionaries Daniel Schneeweiss and Moises Guindi, founders of Milagro Tequila and Montelobos Mezcal, recently added a new flavor to their repertoire, Ancho Reyes Verde.
Both the Chile and Verde versions are made from the same poblano pepper. The difference is that the chilies used in the verde are harvested earlier in the maturation process, so they are still green. The peppers are then fire-roasted, giving them more of an herbal essence and and a less smoky flavor. The new liqueur has been introduced in only a handful of states, including New York, California, Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Illinois, and now Florida.
Ancho Reyes brand ambassador Ezra Pattek says, "It was only natural for Ancho Reyes to develop another spirit, and everyone loves the verde." He believes the flavor suits Miami's tropical climate.
Even though the product is relatively new to Miami, plenty of bars, including Sweet Liberty, Better Days, the Local, Bar Nancy, and Coyo Taco, are already carrying the spirit. Here are the six spiciest versions to try.
1. El Grito
Ezra Pattek, a former partner of Bar Lab Cocktails, is known for curating the bar program at El Grito (1766 Bay Rd., Miami Beach), where Verde is used in its michelada, made with Tecate, serrano, habanero, lemon, cilantro, and mint and rimmed with smoked salt.
2. Employees Only
Though this drink isn't officially on the menu, it's available upon request. But beware: The name might be not something you want to shout. Sex on the Taco Truck ($13) has only three ingredients: Ancho Reyes Verde, fresh lime juice, and lemongrass syrup. Danilo Bozovic, bar manager and managing partner of Employees Only, loves to use Verde with herbs such as sage, basil, thyme, and cilantro to really boost the spicier notes. He adds, "With its warm climate and an ice-cold spicy concoction, Miami goes perfect with Verde's ingredients."
3. The Broken Shaker
Bartender Anthony Valencia took a summer in Los Angeles and poured it into one drink, the Summer in Los Feliz ($13). "I used to go to Griffith Observatory and check out the views of the city, and after walking some of those trails, we'd get a cold-pressed juice after, then maybe a shot of tequila and a Modelo," Valencia says. "On the way home, we'd pass by Mexican street vendors selling fresh-cut fruit and flavored snow cones, so I'd pick up a bag of fresh mango, get the vendor to drench it in lime and tajín, and enjoy the sunset." He shakes some tequila, Ancho Reyes Verde, mango, tajín, fresh carrot juice, and beer with crushed ice and then adds a dried piece of mango with the same boba pearls he would put on his Pinkberry froyo after eating tacos.
4. Wynwood Diner
General manager/beverage director Michael Albuerne says this cocktail will help beat the Miami heat. La Milla Verde ($12) is made with mezcal, Ancho Reyes Verde, artichoke liqueur, cucumber juice, lime juice, and orgeat syrup. Albuerne believes the Ancho Reyes, with its earthy and spicy notes, helps bring out the smoky characteristics of the mezcal. "One hand washing the other," he says.

5. The Anderson
Bar manager Joshua Alperstein likes Verde for its spice, heat, and brightness. The Anderson altered its Death by Stereo cocktail by swapping out the usual Ancho Reyes Chile with Verde. Olmeca Altos Tequila, fresh-squeezed lime juice, grapefruit, and a mixed-herb cordial help bring this killer cocktail to life.
6. Bar Alter
Anyone who watches Gustavo Martinez behind the bar knows this guy is serious about cocktails. His Verano Verde ($13) combines Ancho Reyes Verde with vermouth infused with ancho chilies, Olmeca Altos tequila, fresh mango and lime juices, and a dash of mole bitters. Martinez serves the drink in a glass rimmed with a spicy salt blend.

Very quick, as much a note for myself as anything else.
There's a Node package called nodemon which monitors files and restarts processes; it's primarily used to watch
.js files and restart Node applications when they change.
You can use it with any file extensions and commands, though, which means you can use it to monitor
.cs files and restart DNX applications when they change. It also stops Kestrel when you (reflexively) hit Ctrl-C, which often makes Kestrel on its own hang.
I've set up this Bash function to do this on my machine:
dnxmon () {
nodemon -e cs,json -x "dnx ${1-$DNX_DEFAULT_DIR} ${DNXMON_CMD}"
I used to use an alias, but it wouldn't let me change the directory passed to
dnx and I've been finding that useful. If you want, you can also change the DNXMON_CMD variable to run a command other than

Democracy NOW! For the times, they are a-changing!
Brave people in Tunisia. Spreading the word to neigboring countries. The military (as always – mostly a part of the people and common man) regret to shoot at country-men, case -women (and children!)
Change is here. It is delayed in some places, yes. But make no misstake. President Obama can never support ANY country that rejects democracy.
As claimed by Victor Hugo "there is nothing as strong as an idea whose time has come". I believe now is the time. Change will come. Democracy has many disadvantages – but as Winston Churchill put it
"Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all those other forms that have been tried from time to time." …a House of Commons speech on Nov. 11, 1947

Craft Beer & Brewing Magazine® contributor Taylor Caron covers everything you need to know about high gravity and high alcohol brewing, fermenting, and packaging. Whether you've encountered a stuck fermentation, incomplete fermentation, missing your original gravity, low carbonation, or other problems associated with brewing high alcohol beers, Taylor has the answer for you.
Brewing a high-gravity all-grain beer can be a challenge, and getting it right requires some forethought and planning. These beers typically involve original gravities of 1.080 or higher, which means you may be using double the amount of grain (or more) that you typically brew with. Not only does this push the limited capacity of your mash tun, but it also lowers the efficiency of your brewing system. Join Taylor Caron as he walks you through everything from recipe development through fermentation and packaging your next high gravity beer. Taylor offers advice on:
- Recipe considerations
- Alternate mashing techniques
- Hopping
- Yeast selection
- Boil considerations
- High gravity fermentation
- Carbonation and packaging
- and much more
This course is complete with 4 recipes and tips from the experts at The Bruery.

Oracle ordered to pay $3bn to HPE
Court awards HPE $3bn for lost business after Oracle ditched Itanium platform
Oracle has been instructed to pay $3bn in damages to Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) as settlement in their long-running Itanium dispute.
A US court has awarded damages to HPE after Oracle went back on a deal to continue making its software compatible with the Itanium server processor.
HPE had claimed that Oracle had contractually agreed to continue to produce software for Intel's Itanium platform, in which HPE was a major player, but in 2011 Oracle shifted its software to its own Sun SPARC processor-based hardware platforms.
The court case was settled in 2012, but damages have only just been set. Oracle has said it would appeal the damages.
HPE argued that although Oracle did return to the Itanium platform after the 2012 judgement, HPE's business had already suffered. Oracle said that the decision was based on the likely end-of-life of Itanium - which Intel stopped producing by end of 2012.

A Pedestrian Is No Match For A Car
Pedestrian injuries can be very severe. Even at low speeds, being hit by a car can cause you to suffer long-term, life-changing injuries. As a pedestrian injured in a car accident, you may be entitled to compensation for:
- Medical costs
- Long-term care
- Lost wages
- Other costs associated with your recovery
In Beverly Hills and throughout Los Angeles, the car is king, and pedestrians are the odd man out. But pedestrians still have rights, and drivers are liable for injuries when they hit pedestrians.
As a practiced law firm working in traffic-laden Los Angeles County, we have seen more than our fair share of pedestrian injuries. If you have been injured as a pedestrian, call our office. We will help you fully compile your medical care and other costs. When you go to the insurance companies, we will stand strong by your side.
What To Do In A Hit-And-Run
A hit-and-run is terrifying. Not only are you hurt, but you are also probably wondering if insurance can do anything about it. You are worrying about trying to find the driver who hit you.
First things first — get any needed medical aid and call the police.
As far as insurance goes, the police may be able to identify the driver who hit you, but if not, there are insurance options. Some insurance provisions may be able to cover your case, not unlike when the driver who hit you is under- or uninsured. Speak with a lawyer about your case specifics and to see what's possible.

Tim is the founder and Managing Director of the group. He has 37 years of commercial property experience and his role is to devise and execute the company's business strategy, identifying and realising the potential of properties across a multitude of sectors.
He made his first property investment at the age of just 17 - a rundown shop, which he bought for £6,250, refurbished and went on to rent to a succession of local businesses. His companies now manage over 11.5m sq ft of commercial real estate across the UK but his mantra remains unchanged from that first purchase – refurbish, let and re-gear.
Tim knows that you have to "lift the carpets" to gain a true understanding of an asset's potential and he still adopts a hands-on approach to property management, an ethos that he has instilled in his 300-strong team. He is happiest when visiting sites, albeit remains strong to his North West roots, supporting a number of charitable causes and investing in the local community.

Square-Enix have flipped the switch on a new website, ahead of the September 1st unveiling of the next step in the 'Lightning Saga'.
Many have speculated that the Japanese developer/publisher will be announcing a second sequel to 2010's divisive Final Fantasy XIII, and considering the game and its 2012 sequel XIII-2 have sold a cumulative total of almost ten million copies, it certainly makes sense from a business perspective. An announcement for another DLC pack (like XIII-2's 'Requiem of the Goddess') is also a possibility, but would an event and a dedicated website be necessary for a simple add-on? My money's on 'no'.
Either way, we have a little over a week until we find out for sure. Who out there is looking forward to more Lightning?

Usually when I write these reviews I buy a bottle, stretch it out for quite a while, coming back to it every once in a while until I realize it's almost gone and, goddammit, I need to write that review before I polish the bottle off. Not tonight. Tonight I have one shot to get it right. or wrote…writ? Anyways, let's let this 30 cl little sample speak for itself:
Nose: Little but a tad astringent, with a little honey sweetness, some very mild rye spice, and some not unpleasant woody must, which very well could be from the glass I put it in.
Taste: That honey is there initially, but is quickly overtaken by a hot dose of cinnamon that dances and sparks on the tongue, and heats the the throat as it winds it's way down the hatch. A little more burn than you'd expect at 92 proof, which is just bully by me.
Afterburn (finish): That cinnamon sits just right and damn does than burn hang on, my throat is still toasty, and I'm finding that slight musty woodiness was, perhaps, in the bottle after all.
Overall this was a lovely little taste, and has left me hankering perhaps for a touch more. Alas, that little shot was all I had, but the little bugger had some spicy fury to it! So, what's the point of this single shot tasting method? It's to drink the little single shots and decide if I want more dammit, and I do. Also, this good be a good training trick for my palate so I'll stop being so damned lazy and get it right the first taste from now on. (Not likely)

Infinity Revive Massage & Wellness Center
MAE - 2645 / Tel: 808-270-1893
Massage Therapy
Comprehensive health management
Massage therapy is one of the oldest methods of healing, as the practice of therapeutic massage can be traced back nearly 4,000 years. Statistics from the American Massage Therapy Association show that millions of North Americans use it today.
Massage therapy refers to a comprehensive health management strategy focusing on the application of various techniques to positively affect the soft tissues and joints of the body. Massage techniques most commonly include pressure and compression, kneading, frictioning, and mobilizing to improve the health and condition of the muscles, tendons, skin, fascia or connective tissue of the body.
Today massage is thought of as a holistic therapy that complements medical treatment. The "Physician's Guide to Therapeutic Massage" shows that massage can decrease pain, improve range of motion, improve mood, aid in the circulation of blood and lymph flow, reduce muscle and joint soreness, and improve sleep.
At Infinity Revive Massage & Wellness Center in Kahului, Hawaii our massage therapists have collectively been providing therapeutic massage to clients for over 70 years. Our massage therapists specialize in a wide variety of treatment modalities including Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, Swedish, Sports Treatment, Reflexology, Hot Stone, Hawaiian Lomilomi and Prenatal Massage.

Partner of the Month: Boston TruckingMay 22, 2018 / Posted in Partner of the Month
Our partner of the month for May is Boston Trucking. We caught up with Glenda to chat with her about how the company got started and what keeps them trucking.
- Please tell us a little more about your business.
I own a small trucking company and use Pay4Freight as a factoring company. P4F enables drivers to get paid. We ship general freight.
- When did you get started?
We started in October 2011.
- What is most challenging about what you do for a living?
Everything to do with money. Collecting money on invoices. Sometimes getting paid on time. Sometimes not getting paid at all. You have to stay on top of the money all of the time.
- What advice would you give to someone just starting out in this business?
Stay detail-oriented. Keep up and stay on top of your paperwork and your brokers.
- How do you keep a work-life balance?
Following a strict schedule. I always make sure I have certain things done on certain days so that I have time for other things. Set certain bills to get paid on certain days. Make sure your factoring is done on a set day. Pay4Freight is a huge help with that. And most importantly, never get overwhelmed.
- Anything you would like to add?
Small trucking companies need a factoring company. It's the only way. Stay on top of your invoices, and keep a level head.

Our Services
Explore Marketing offers cost-effective tourism marketing, consulting and trade representation services to travel experiences and destinations in the USA. The primary goal is to extend the bandwidth and knowledgebase of clients, by giving clients the tools and skills to develop products and booking processes in line with the needs of the international travel trade. Furthermore, we have years of experience and an understanding of proper business etiquette when working with clients from around the globe, such as Germany, India, China, South Korea, the Middle East and Japan.
Secondly, Explore Marketing increases the visibility of its clients across the travel trade by conducting sales calls, attending trade events, sending monthly email newsletters and maintaining a travel trade blog with product updates, and engaging with travel trade buyers about contracting new destinations and travel experiences. This in the end increases brand awareness and sales to ensure a healthy bottom line for your business.
We have the knowledge, skills, network, and enthusiasm to jump start your engagement with the travel trade in an efficient and effective manner. Building up international business can take time, since new itineraries and brochures of most international tour operators get developed only on an annual or semi-annual basis. This is an important aspect to remember, and we will work with you to identify solutions that help to speed up this process, and develop a portfolio of clients that's well diversified and can contribute towards your bottom line during the different seasons of the year.
Our Model
Our tourism marketing, consulting and trade representation services are a cost-effective way for travel experiences and destinations in the United States to collaborate with travel trade buyers.
Clients that subscribe to Explore Marketing's annual consulting agreement will be represented at four domestic and four international travel trade events annually. To top it off, Explore Marketing will visit clients during four sales missions in the United States, primarily focused on Los Angeles, New York, Florida, Las Vegas and/ or San Francisco to ensure product managers and reservation teams know your services and booking procedures.
Let Explore Tourism Marketing help you identify products and pricing that lend themselves to working with international travelers, from students, to family travelers, leisure groups, and even the lucrative MICE (Meetings, Incentive, Corporate, Events) sector.
There are three ways to engage with Explore Marketing:
Annual Engagement:
For a low monthly retainer, benefit from year-round support, including trade show representation, marketing, lead generation & advice. Expenses are shared amongst Explore Marketing's clients.
Sales Missions:
Every year, Explore Marketing arranges four sales missions which you can participate to personally present and engage with travel trade buyers. Participation is limited to 7 attendees per event on a first-come first-served basis.
Project Work:
Get support on sales & marketing projects that enhance your international brand exposure, increase your bottom line, help streamline your sales and marketing processes, or simply boost your team's resources to ensure quality support is extended to your trade clients.

7 Singapore MVPs Delivered 38% of Deep Dive Sessions at FY13 Q1 Mega Partner Briefing Event Wowing Over 1150 attendees!
Organized by Microsoft Singapore SMSP Team, the Launch for FY13 Q1 Mega Partner Briefing was held at the Singapore Expo Hall, on Sep 12th, 2012, with a mega turn-out of 1150 attendees. The full day event comprises of 10 Keynotes, 5 Power Breakouts comprising of 18 Deep Dive sessions and 27 experts (Microsoft and MVPs) sharing deep insights on the key technologies including Cloud, Windows Phone, XBOX, Kinect on Windows, SmartGlass, Windows 8, Windows Server 2012, Visual Studio 2012 and Office 2013.
7 Singapore MVPs participated in this FY13 Q1 Mega Partner Briefing event and delivered 38% of the deep dive sessions for Pre-sales, ISVs & SI, Licensing and Cloud from Level 100-300. A great highlight was that the Windows 8 MVP Video Stunt titled '8 Reasons Windows 8 in 8 Different Languages' was used by David Tang, Partner Territory Manager as the opening video for the CPLS Windows 8 Demo Champion Segment at this Mega Partner Briefing event. (Note: We are unable to share the Win8 MVP Video stunt URL widely for now due to Corp PR's guidelines on publishing Windows 8 Videos.)
The SE Asia MVP Team interviewed 4 of the MVP speakers on their experience for this event.
MVP Daniel Mar explained that his session on 'Changing the Virtualization Landscape with Windows Server 2012' was focused on demos, where he delivered on "Live demos on Windows 2012 focusing on the new Server Manager and new features of Hyper-V such as Shared Nothing Live Migration and Hyper-V Replica and new network features such as NIC Teaming and storage features of Storage Spaces. Less PowerPoint more demos."
On the 'Modern Office Productivity Re-imagined' session, MVP Tian-An shared that attendees were eager to know more about the availability of Office 2013, "All of them don't have the opportunity to try out Office 2013 up to the briefing. The attendees were asking where to get them on the trial for Office 2013."
For MVP Sandeep, his ALM session has helped Microsoft drive the technology awareness and product adoption among the partners. His session provided attendees the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of developer productivity, team collaboration and continuous quality delivery through right set of tools used in the right manner.
"Attendees were very involved during the session as the examples were all real life. They asked questions on Storyboarding, Agile Planning, Feedback tool and automation of intellitrace. Few of the attendees asked about how they can use Code Analysis feature to improve code quality." said Sandeep as he relates the participants' responses.
MVP Rene who tag-team with David Chan, also shared that his session on 'Learn What's New in Office 365 Partner Models', helped to increase awareness about the new upcoming version of Office 365 and what it includes.

Rega RB series (straight) Tonearm FULL Rewire Kit
(Cardas Wire)
Click Image to see gallery
The Better Audio Company,
Rega RB series (for straight Rega tonearms only),
Rewire Kit, 1.18M
This has been designed with the enthusiast in mind,
and consists of the complete rewire cable with custom made aluminium base plug, Cardas wire from phono plugs to cartridge clips, and separate earth cable.
The kit has some unique features, for instance, The plug also has a dedicated earthing pin to which is attached the flexible, heavy duty earthing cable, with wide area earthing spade attached. This is also where the internal earth will be connected to when fitted to the tonearm, giving the user complete control of how the tonearm is earthed to their hi-fi system. The screen of the Cardas 4x24a.w.g. cable is earthed to the right channel ground (at the phono plug end only), thus giving a "pseudo balanced" configuration, which in turn lowers the noise floor, for "blacker blacks" in the quieter passages of any music.
The actual base plug is made at The Better Audio Company to very high tolerances and the aluminium is hand finished to give for that attention to detail that only a quality product has.
The kit is made using the excellent Cardas 4x33a.w.g. internal tonearm wire , and Cardas 4x24a.w.g. 4-core screened cable (for the external section) , and the phono / RCA plugs are High Quality, solid metal Cardas GRCM with gold plated contacts. Although not shown in the images, these plugs are fitted with an acetal finishing ring for the exit hole on the plug that gives it a professional finish.
All soldering is performed with Cardas Quad Eutectic Solder to a very high, professional standard.
The kit comes with 4 x Cardas PCCE-G Gold Plated Cartridge Clips, plus 4 x heatshrink sleeves and a quantity of Cardas Quad Eutectic Solder (enough to complete the rewire).
This cable offers a significant improvement on the standard cable that comes with the Rega RB series (straight|) tonearms.
