Seasonal variation of infiltration capacities of soils in western Oregon.
Infiltration capacities were 50 percent greater during fall than during summer for forest soils of western Oregon. These results contrast with those measured in other studies. In forested areas, investigators should be aware of potentially large seasonal changes in infiltration capacities. Such seasonal changes may exceed effects due to applied treatments (logging, slash disposal, burning, etc.) and can confound study results.


Guys! I'm so excited to share pics from one of my recent projects!
I knew I wanted to go with a bold color, because she wanted a big impact. Benjamin Moore's Blue Danube was the jumping off point for the entire room. Then, once I saw this cabinet in At Home, I KNEW I was on to something. It was the perfect piece to add to store guest essentials, like soaps and extra bath towels. The horse canvas art was the next piece I chose, and from there I just brought in some more decorative accents that I thought would look great in the room. I also painted her vanity a cream color and changed the handles and knobs. Check out the rest of the pics.
What do you think, guys? My client LOVES bathroom now and kept mentioning how different it looks now. I have to admit, it definitely looks like a new space! I first credit it to the POWER OF PAINT. If you'd like to know more about the POWER OF PAINT and learn how to decorate a room from start to finish, join my virtual decorating workshop.
I'd love to know what you think of this guest bath! Leave me a comment below.
Love this makeover Whitney. That bold color is everything and I love the extra storage locker cabinet. Great job and I know your client loves it!
Thank you so much, Erin! You're so sweet! My client LOVED the bathroom!!
Mission accomplished. Love the artwork and the paint colors. It feels like another room, not just a bathroom? If that makes sense. Can't wait for the decorating workshop.
Thanks, Theresa!! Neither can I! We're going to have so much fun.

On this page you will find my favorite songs for ESL classes. The songs are classified by title in alphabetical order. The first file gives you the exercise and the second one the key. The files are in MS Word so that teachers can add translations in their students' native tongue and other comments.
The original video tribute a video by the students of professor Allsop tracing the years up to 1989 is unfortunately no longer available in all countries.
However, there are ever so many tributes to this song with photos that remind us of important events or people. Just type something like "We Didn't Start The Fire - Billy Joel tribute songs" and you will get many.
Have your students work in pairs and pick three or four events that they will present to the class explaining the significance of the event or the person they have chosen.

It's European Championship time. And so I was asked to do an animated clip for: a box!
Okay, it was not a box, but Walther Boxline, producer of all sorts of boxes, foldable crates etc.
The story was straight forward but the timing was pretty tight, so I had to start right away. For this animation I wanted to achieve more space and depth in the images, so I decided to arrange all layers and animation in a 3D environment to be able to use virtual cameras and their depth of field. It was quite tricky, but as always I learned a lot and am quite happy with the outcome.

Q: Intercept what's being written to HttpResponse.OutputStream I am working on a tool which audits access to existing web application. Existing app does not have any hooks in place, but my plan is to inject an IHttpModule by modifying web.config and log whatever I need to log during EndRequest event.
What I'm struggling with right now is: I cannot intercept what is application writing to an output stream. I need to know what output does the application send to the client. Originally, I hoped I could run a code in BeginRequest to replace HttpContext.Response.OutputStream with a stream of my own, which would be flushed to original stream during EndRequest, but the stream only has a get accessor, so I cannot replace it.
I could of course use reflection to assign to private member of HttpContext.
Can anyone here think of a better way to tee up contents of what is being written to a given stream?

A: Check out Response.Filter.

The Advocates Calls on President to Uphold Human Rights in Afghanistan Withdrawal
Country: Afghanistan
Issues: Accountability , Asylum , Crimes Against Humanity, Genocide, War Crimes , Migrant Rights
(Minneapolis, August 24, 2021) The Advocates for Human Rights calls on the Biden administration to uphold the United States' commitment to human rights as it evacuates people from Afghanistan. The United States can-and must-ensure that people most at risk of harm are brought to safety. "The administration appears to be sticking to arbitrary deadlines which will leave thousands in danger," Executive Director Robin Phillips said. "While we understand that the volatile conditions unfolded quickly, the scramble to evacuate suggests a failure to prioritize human rights protections while negotiating and planning for the U.S. troop withdrawal."?
The Advocates for Human Rights is particularly concerned that women's human rights defenders and others will be left behind. As the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan's Reconstruction noted in its February 2021 report, "the Taliban's oppression of women was one justification for U.S. military action against the Taliban." Yet, absent from evacuation and protection plans being cobbled together is any provision for protecting those women and girls who, emboldened by promises that the Taliban would be kept at bay, stood up for their rights to education, employment, expression, and movement. "We must not abandon those Afghans we once supported as advocates for human rights," said Phillips.
President Biden has promised to return the United States to global human rights leadership. We cannot do so by violating the right to seek protection from persecution, torture, and other human rights violations. This means immediately: ensuring the Special Immigrant Visa program will allow U.S. allies to enter the United States; lifting the annual refugee resettlement cap and ensuring the U.S. Refugee Program is equipped to expeditiously resettle people forced to flee Afghanistan; dedicating resources and removing barriers to asylum and other complimentary protections so that Afghan nationals in or arriving at the United States are not returned to human rights violations; designating Afghanistan for Temporary Protected Status; and ensuring that women's human rights defenders are included in protection priorities.

Red Deer RCMP are searching for a suspect who allegedly rammed a police car while driving a stolen truck early this morning, resulting in minor injuries to a Red Deer police officer.
RCMP were on patrol in an alley in the Highland Green neighbourhood at 1 a.m. on July 17th when they intercepted a white 2006 Ford F350 in the process of being stolen. The truck fled police, driving on a walking path adjacent to 59th Ave. into the Riverside Meadows neighbourhood. RCMP located it again on Kerrywood Drive near the Taylor Drive intersection, where the truck appeared to be stuck on the median. When an RCMP officer approached in a marked police cruiser, the truck reversed at high speed toward the police car, collided with it, then fled northbound on Taylor Drive.
The police cruiser suffered severe damage to the front end, and the police officer driving it sustained minor injuries in the collision and was treated at hospital.
The driver of the truck is described as a skinny Caucasian male, early to mid-30s, with some facial hair, wearing a black hat and a black hoodie.
RCMP recovered the stolen truck abandoned in a parking lot in north Red Deer shortly before 8:30 a.m. the same day.
This is the second incident of damage to a Red Deer police car by a thief in a stolen vehicle attempting to evade arrest in the space of four days; the evening of July 13th, a woman driving a stolen silver 2004 Ford Freestar van collided with the side of a police car while fleeing police. In that case, the police car sustained minor damage and the police officer was not injured. That van had an Alberta license plate BWW3351 at the time of its theft; it has not been recovered yet.
Anyone with information about either investigation is asked to contact the Red Deer RCMP at 403-343-5575. Those wishing to remain anonymous can call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 or report it online at www.tipsubmit.com.


Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. It is just a fun book. Mike is faithful to his companion even though she's old and outdated. It is a story of loyalty and hard work and solving problems and adapting to be productive members of society. Okay, seriously, it's kids book that little boys love because there's a big digger and a little boy and don't forget the fire dog.
HOWEVER, every single time I read the book I cannot help but cringe at the critical point.
"We've worked so fast and so well that we've quite forgotten a way out"
Well you know what? If you forgot your way out then you have worked too fast and not very well at all.
Call me crazy for ruining an awesome kids story but Mike didn't do his job well at all. He wasn't thinking through what he was doing and because it was rushing to get done by sundown he cannot get Mary Anne out of the cellar. That's not GOOD work.
Obviously the little boy saves the day with his excellent idea - don't get me wrong - and everything works out. I get it. I get it.
Please tell me I'm not the only one who adores this story but gets a twinge of annoyance over this point.

indian election 2014
Transcript of indian election 2014
The Battle for Supremacy!!
Political Parties: Major Candidates - Indian National Congress Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
2014 Elections: Strategy for the People The founding fathers of the nation or the architects of the constitution had perhaps never in their wildest of dreams imagined that the Indian democratic system would one day become a forged democracy. The Constitution envisages the people of the country electing their representatives to the Lok Sabha. The largest political party in the Lok Sabha in turn was expected to choose their leader to be appointed as the Prime Minister.
The Prime Minister was to nominate his council of Ministers from amongst his party MPs and those amongst the coalition partners based on his perception of the capabilities and experience of the elected representatives. That was all well said. But have we as a country stood by the spirit of the constitution?
The Maladies: No one today can fight an election without money and muscle power. A common man can only be a voter and never a candidate in the system. It will always be the chosen rich or the powerful that would represent you in the highest body of democracy. Candidates being nominated for a price or because they belong to a particular caste, religion, ethnic group or linguistic considerations are the norms. This is particularly disturbing as Indian people value secular democracy free from divisive and partisan influences.
Qualifications, experience, capabilities and character of individuals have very little impact in the present muddy and opaque system of selection of candidates. After the votes are cast, the voters are forgotten and even despised Under the circumstances, the voter has to learn to work within the tweaked system to elect a Government that would work for the betterment of the people. India needs a Government which will perform and towards the common mans interests. The rural and the urban class definitely deserve a better treatment and quality of life
Political Party Option: INC The present UPA Government consisting of the Congress Party and its allies has proved a disaster. The so called coalition dharma has proved to be an adharma to the nation, opening up the gateway to corruption and nepotism Law and order situation in the country has become unmanageable. Our political class has abetted to refashion a Gandhian society into a sick one, where not a day passes without a rape being reported
Even in matters military and foreign affairs the Government is paralyzed to the extent of compromising on Indias sovereignty
The BJP: Though their record of misdeeds has been relatively less, probably because of limited opportunities, have they shown any resolve to eliminate corruption? The Karnataka example of squandering the mineral wealth and above all exporting the plunder to China has no parallel. Though they shout endlessly about the Bofors scandal or the Bhopal tragedy victims, they have done very little while in power to bring these issues to their logical conclusion.
the Bangaru Laxman episode, Petrol Pump and Gas Agency allotment Scam or the Jain Hawala case. Fundamentalist threats to Christians in Orissa and the demolition of Babri Maszid are fresh in the minds of the people
Prime minister Options: BJP- BJPs Narendra Modi has done much better than any other political party or individuals in the state of Gujarat in terms of generating job opportunities and improving the quality of life to its people. There have not been any major corruption charges against him individually or within the state He has shown his firmness in handling political power brokers and the bureaucracy
He has won the state elections thrice continuously indicating the approval of the people. He does appear to be leadership material worth giving a chance. Yes the Gujarat riots haunt him. He has however not been indicted by any court for his complicity in the affair till now
Indian National Congress: UPAs Rahul Gandhi has himself rejected proposals for being appointed the PM of the country. Why have an unwilling horse run the race? His educational qualifications, experiences in governance are very limited. He has indeed gone about doing party work in UP during the recent elections. His infrequent utterances and speeches in various forums do not reveal any exceptional vision for the country or the people of the country.
As for Dr Manmohan Singh the current PM who has staked a timid claim for the post, the least said the better. He has failed to show any leadership quality in all these years as the PM. The country has had enough of him.
The Choice: Looking dispassionately, the country needs a change very badly. Going by past record of political parties, once voted to power they are usually back to their old ways irrespective of their promises or experiences. An individual may be a better option It is for the people to make their choice of the leader based on the demonstrated performance and experience of the available candidates within the existing system
India has any number of honest individuals with great leadership qualities capable of steering the country to its glory which it rightly deserves. But in our system there are no way such talents and capabilities can be put to use at the national level It is time social workers, organizations and prominent people like Anna Hazare go down to villages and educate the people so that voters power is utilized for the benefit of the people and the country
Conclusion: The country can no longer tolerate corrupt politicians with criminal background designing laws for us. The old and the tired legislators need to give way for the young and those of the present generation. Routine standard responses to grave situations and issues of national importance no longer impress people. The country has been deceived enough by feeding on divisive stories and issues such as secularism, fascist forces, religion, caste, language etc
If we fail to make use of the next general elections to bring about the much needed transformation, India runs the risk of becoming a failed state under a fake democracy. The answer is change, new faces and a PM of peoples choice

Група Тшибінда складається з численних добре збережених шлакових конусів та лавових потоків, має довжину до 33 км і простягається від Тшибінди до Леймери. Картування виявило шістдесят конусів висотою від 50 до 150 м, більшість із яких були джерелом лавових потоків. Активність вулкан проявляв  від 1,9 до 1,6 млн років тому.

It's interesting to note how pushing to the array modifies path across recursion call stack, it would be good to remember this property as it might come handy in the future.
I think I will read more whitepapers from now on, they're not as difficult as I thought they would be!

Formaldehyde Issues Regarding Wood Products Put Companies at Risk
By Jeffrey Neeley on March 3, 2015
Posted in Manufacturing, Toxic Torts
On Sunday, March 1, 2015, CBS newsmagazine "60 Minutes" ran a lengthy piece reported by Anderson Cooper regarding accusations that Lumber Liquidators imported laminated flooring products that did not meet the standards set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for levels of formaldehyde. The focus of the story was on Lumber Liquidators, but the issue is likely to affect almost every importer of flooring and other wood products from China.
During the segment, Cooper referenced various lawsuits that are pending against Lumber Liquidators alleging that the company failed to meet CARB standards in California for formaldehyde. Cooper interviewed the CEO of Lumber Liquidators, Robert Lynch. Lynch said the company has a good system in place and checks carefully to make sure that CARB standards are met.
After making this statement, Lynch was shown a video interview of the plant manager of a Chinese plant that manufactures products for Lumber Liquidators. In the video, the plant manager plainly states that the flooring did not meet CARB standards. The journalist narrating the video adds that visits made to two other plants that manufacture flooring for the company revealed that the company's flooring failed to meet the standards.
60 Minutes visited several Lumber Liquidators stores, purchased laminated flooring, and had it tested. None of the flooring products passed the CARB test, and some had much higher levels of formaldehyde than allowed by California. Following the market opening on Monday, March 2, trading in Lumber Liquidators stock was suspended after the price per share dropped more than 20 percent in early trading.
What This Means to You
Attorneys from Husch Blackwell have been addressing international trade issues involving flooring and other wood products from China over the past several years and as a result have developed substantial knowledge of these and related issues. In our view, the recent story on 60 Minutes may well result in three further developments. First, the plaintiffs' lawyers may begin to investigate whether there are possible claims against companies other than Lumber Liquidators, including importers, retailers, or even builders. The actions could be brought under various tort theories as well as consumer protection statutes. Second, we expect that there may be actions taken by CARB in the state of California as a result of the story, which could include enhanced inspections and inquiries. Third, because the federal standards are being modified to mirror those of CARB, we may ultimately see action at the federal level that will affect imports.
We recommend that each company that is potentially affected assess its situation with counsel and review its options regarding wood products from China that may be affected.

While many people celebrated the video, Daily Caller columnist Stephanie Hamill tweeted that the content of the video undermines the #metoo movement.
In the Era of #meToo how exactly does this empower women?
Leftists, @iamcardib , feel free to chime in.
"In the Era of #meToo how exactly does this empower women? Leftists, @iamcardib , feel free to chime in. THX ..," Hamill tweeted.
While Hamil may not have expected an actual answer from the Bronx rapper, Cardi B wasted no time letting the conservative host know that the "Twerk" video is all about women empowerment.
"It says to women that I can wear and not wear whatever I want. do whatever I want and that NO still means," the "Money" rapper tweeted. "So Stephanie chime in..If I twerk and be half naked does that mean I deserve to get raped and molested? I want to know what a conservative woman like you thinks."
The response, which received over 100,000 likes seemingly surprised Hamill, who could not keep that same energy in her follow up tweet. She even asked Cardi B to be a guest on her show.
I agree, No means NO, NO MATTER what!
Just an hour after responding to Hamill, Cardi B also revealed she's been getting online harassment from conservatives.
"All these conservatives been harassing me and telling me the most disgusting things these past few days.Listen I'm not telling ya to turn liberal all I'm saying is to admit that your president is f—in up this country right now! Liberal or conservative we ALL suffer as citizens."

CHANDIGARH: Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) on Saturday named senior leader and former cabinet minister Maheshinder Singh Grewal as its Lok Sabha candidate from Ludhiana.
SAD district president Ranjit Singh Dhillon was also in fray for the ticket. In addition to Dhillon, former MLA from Mullanpur Dakha, Manpreet Ayali was also considered for the Ludhiana ticket.
Of 13 constituencies in Punjab, SAD has so far announced candidates for eight of its 10 seats in the state and its alliance partner Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) is yet to reveal names of candidates for 3 seats — Amritsar, Gurdaspur and Hoshiarpur (SC) — in its kitty.
SAD chief Sukhbir Badal's adviser Harcharan Bains said the names of candidates for the remaining seats, Bathinda and Ferozepur, would be announced shortly. Union food processing industry minister Harsimrat Kaur Badal and Sukhbir's names are doing the rounds for these two constituencies, but there has been no confirmation yet.

President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama spent time on Christmas thanking troops and their families for their service at Marine Corps Base Hawaii.
HONOLULU, Hawaii (CNN) — President Barack Obama spent his last Christmas in office thanking troops and their families for their service at Marine Corps Base Hawaii, an annual tradition for the President and First Lady Michelle Obama who also visited with troops.
"Although this will be my last time addressing you as President, I want you to know that, as a citizen, my gratitude will remain and our commitment to standing by you every step of the way — that won't stop," Obama told the service members.
On Christmas Eve, Obama spoke on the phone with US service members including some stationed overseas in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Obama told the service members that he looks forward to seeing them for "many years to come," joking that he'll still be able to use the gym on the base and the golf course as ex-President.
Since arriving in Hawaii on December 16, Obama has visited the Marine Corps Base almost every day, either to use the gym or the golf course.


In the center of a large room at the Royal Academy in London, I stood dumbfounded as I stared at "Blue Poles" by Jackson Pollock. Crowds gathered around the painting, and small children sat on the floor trying to sketch the work before them. It felt like everyone in the room recognized the work's splendor, but most, like me, could not put a finger on what made it so special. I bought a souvenir print of the painting and hung it in my room, but I was never able to express what drew me to it. Two years later, Caitríona O'Reilly's poem provided the words and thoughts that I was not able to verbalize.
O'Reilly's interpretation invigorates Pollock's work as she highlights the colors in a "dream of perpetual motion" and the confining nature of freedom which can be grounded with blue poles.

Trump Can't Believe Michigan's New Poll Numbers — They Are Bad
Lance Perriman
For a man who behaves like a schoolyard bully, won't provide transparency were key matters are concerned, and uses social media in ways that are unbecoming of someone in his position, it shouldn't be surprising that people don't like him. But Trump was shocked and reportedly went ballistic at the latest poll from Michigan, a state he won by double digit in 2016.
According to a new poll conducted by The Detroit Free Press, more than half of voters, a whopping 61 percent, gave Donald Trump a failing rating. That increase comes just weeks after the last survey was taken.
And — get this: just 12 percent approve of Donald Trump's job as president.
The survey also revealed that 55 percent of Michigan residents feel that the country is going downhill. This is compared to 31 percent of people who feel Donald Trump is moving America in the right direction.
In an apparent change of heart about Donald Trump, Michigan now joins the ranks of states where the vast majority of voters disapprove of Donald Trump.
There are likely a number of factors that contribute to Trump's sinking approval ratings. The looming investigation into his team's collusion with members of the Russian government to undermine the election, as well as his seemingly shady handling of matters related to the investigation, namely the termination of former FBI Director James Comey.
Additionally, Trump's affinity for social media causes him to fire off tweets in the middle of the night that often make no sense and portray him as a jilted, bitter, immature person who is unfit to be president.

WHO highlights high cost of physical inactivity in first-ever global report
19 October 2022 News release Geneva Reading time: 3 min (815 words)
Almost 500 million people will develop heart disease, obesity, diabetes or other noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) attributable to physical inactivity, between 2020 and 2030, costing US$ 27 billion annually, if governments don't take urgent action to encourage more physical activity among their populations.
The Global status report on physical activity 2022, published today by the World Health Organization, measures the extent to which governments are implementing recommendations to increase physical activity across all ages and abilities.
Data from 194 countries show that overall, progress is slow and that countries need to accelerate the development and implementation of policies to increase levels of physical activity and thereby prevent disease and reduce burden on already overwhelmed health care systems.
Less than 50% of countries have a national physical activity policy, of which less than 40% are operational
Only 30% of countries have national physical activity guidelines for all age groups
While nearly all countries report a system for monitoring physical activity in adults, 75% of countries monitor physical activity among adolescents, and less than 30% monitor physical activity in children under 5 years
In policy areas that could encourage active and sustainable transport, only just over 40% of countries have road design standards that make walking and cycling safer.
"We need more countries to scale up implementation of policies to support people to be more active through walking, cycling, sport, and other physical activity. The benefits are huge, not only for the physical and mental health of individuals, but also for societies, environments, and economies…" said Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General, "We hope countries and partners will use this report to build more active, healthier, and fairer societies for all."
The economic burden of physical inactivity is significant and the cost of treating new cases of preventable non-communicable diseases (NCDs) will reach nearly US$ 300 billion by 2030, around US$ 27 billion annually.
Whilst national policies to tackle NCDs and physical inactivity have increased in recent years, currently 28% of policies are reported to be not funded or implemented. Considered a "best buy" for motivating populations to combat NCDs, the report showed that only just over 50% of countries ran a national communications campaign, or organised mass participation physical activity events in the last two years. The COVID-19 pandemic has not only stalled these initiatives, but it also affected other policy implementation which has widened inequities in access to and, opportunities for, engaging in physical activity for many communities.
To help countries increase physical activity, WHO's Global action plan on physical activity 2018-2030 (GAPPA) sets out 20 policy recommendations – including policies to create safer roads to encourage more active transport, provide more programmes and opportunities for physical activity in key settings, such as childcare, schools, primary health care and the workplace. Today's Global Status report assesses country progress against those recommendations, and shows that much more needs to be done. One critical finding in the Global status report on physical activity is the existence of significant gaps in global data to track progress on important policy actions – such as provision of public open space, provision of walking and cycling infrastructure, provision of sport and physical education in schools. The report also calls for weaknesses in some existing data to also be addressed.
"We are missing globally approved indicators to measure access to parks, cycle lanes, foot paths – even though we know that data do exist in some countries. Consequently, we cannot report or track the global provision of infrastructure that will facilitate increases in physical activity, "said Fiona Bull, Head of WHO Physical Activity Unit. "It can be a vicious circle, no indicator and no data leads to no tracking and no accountability, and then too often, to no policy and no investment. What gets measured gets done, and we have some way to go to comprehensively and robustly track national actions on physical activity."
The report calls for countries to prioritize physical activity as key to improving health and tackling NCDs, integrate physical activity into all relevant policies, and develop tools, guidance and training to improve implementation.
"It is good for public health and makes economic sense to promote more physical activity for everyone," said Dr Ruediger Krech, Director Department of Health Promotion, WHO. "We need to facilitate inclusive programmes for physical activity for all and ensure people have easier access to them. This report issues a clear call to all countries for stronger and accelerated action by all relevant stakeholders working better together to achieve the global target of a 15% reduction in the prevalence of physical inactivity by 2030."
Data for the report are drawn from the WHO Noncommunicable Disease Country Capacity Survey (2019 and 2022) and the WHO Global status report on road safety (2018).

The debate over whether email is thriving or in decline continues to be an intense one, both in and outside of the marketing industry. Sadly, this trend shows no sign of abating, at least in the short-term. For some reason it seems that regardless of whatever changes or innovations are introduced, despite being the channel consumers trust and value the most - according to the DMA – email is destined to be constantly evaluated and scrutinised.
Fuelling this debate, there are a number of myths surrounding the most direct form of communication available to marketers today, which need to be dispelled.
For me, it's hard to pinpoint where this belief has come from. Google for instance, over the past few years especially, has shown an immense commitment to improving the experience it provides to Gmail users, from the introduction of segmented inboxes to the recently announced Smart Reply function.
Whilst these tools not only empower the email recipient to have far greater control over how they consume the content in their inbox, it has also forced many brands to up their game in terms of the email marketing and promotional materials they send to their customers and subscribers.
As a result, the level of sophistication being shown by the UK's biggest brands, from responsive design and eyetracking to trigger emails and real-time updates, is increasing. These innovative techniques are crucial to equipping brands with a better understanding of consumers and how they interact with brands.
Email is therefore not only adapting to customer demands and the platforms through which it is consumed, it is firmly rooted at the heart of the marketing ecosystem. This makes it a fundamental component for any business looking to establish an effective customer-centric strategy.
Myth 2: Isn't social media more powerful?
Since social media transformed from the Hungry Caterpillar it was in the mid noughties into one of the most influential brand engagement tools in any marketers' armoury, the merits of both email and social media have been evaluated.
Whilst social media has opened up new, direct channels for brands to interact with customers, these are very much seen as broadcasters and amplifiers of content, which when added to email content can enrich the experience for the individual. Let's not forget customers are not channel-loyal; they interact with brands through the channel that is most relevant to their current situation.
No single channel has the power to solely shape the experience of an individual unless they are combined within a cohesive environment. Social media is therefore certainly not the driving force of customer engagement many would believe. In fact, according to the DMA, social media is the least trusted form of communication by consumers.
With competition for attention now higher than ever, brands have to work harder to not only capture attention, but also sustain it. When you consider that email open rates in the UK reached their highest volumes yet in Q3 of this year, according to figures released last month, the belief that email content is bland and irrelevant is easily dispelled.
With over two-thirds of emails now reportedly read on smartphones or tablets, the content of emails has naturally become more dynamic. That, in part has largely been driven by the fact that we are now in an age where customers expect not only personalised messages but highly individualised to respond to their actual needs.
In the past, email activity from brands was largely restricted to the weekly newsletter and based on details inputted into a preference centre on their respective websites. Whilst these still have a place within a brands wider marketing output, marketers are now increasingly looking to respond to their customers' behaviours in real-time. Prices and offers within the email can now be updated and modified based on current availability and change depending on when you open them. This means that the user experience is seamless and ensures customers are not disappointed.
Myth 4: Isn't all email just automated?
There are without question a vast number of automated emails sent every day, from newsletters to password reset requests. In these cases they are directly fulfilling a purpose and fulfilling an instant need or request.
When it comes to emails outside this, it is a very different picture. The ability for brands to now send emails to customers instantly in response to specific behaviour signals is a very different form of communication, which could be misjudged as being automated.
For instance, if you are browsing for a new bike online, add it to your basket and then abandon your purchase, there is a good chance that retailer will email you. The likelihood is that the email they send will include three similar alternatives specific to what you searched for, and that you might not have considered. This is an example of an 'automated' trigger email which is adding real value. The same can be said for emails that send you offers. As customers provide retailers with more information, their ability to respond and use that to be heavily targeted in response. That's not automation of old, it's highly precise targeting with substance.

Gardeners sow an extra row to feed the needy
By John Christian Hoyle Special to The Christian Science Monitor
One night when he was in Washington on business, Jeff Lowenfels was approached by a homeless man while strolling down a desolate street.
"I need money to eat," the man pleaded. Mr. Lowenfels hesitated. It was his policy never to give panhandlers money.
He ignored the man and walked on. On the plane ride home to Alaska, thoughts of the hungry in Anchorage raced through his mind.
As soon as his plane touched down, Lowenfels decided to wage a personal war against hunger. In his gardening column in a local newspaper, he mapped out a strategy: He asked readers to plant an extra row of fruits and vegetables in their gardens and deliver the harvest to a local soup kitchen.
"I ran the program for several years with moderate success," he says. "Then, when the Garden Writers of America Association came to Anchorage for its annual convention in 1994 - I happened to be president at the time - I pitched the idea."
Writers sowing a good idea
GWAA adopted the program on the spot, naming it "Plant A Row for the Hungry." Today, folks in more than 30 cities throughout the United States and Canada are participating in Plant A Row. And it's flourishing like cherry tomatoes in August.
The program aims to encourage gardeners everywhere to grow a little extra and donate the produce to local agencies that serve food to those in need.
"Anyone who has grown zucchini or tomatoes can testify to the abundance of their harvest," Lowenfels says. "Imagine the amount of food that could be produced if gardeners all over the country purposely planted more than they needed."
Plant A Row's success has been a testament to the grass-roots efforts of garden writers like Lowenfels, who have been relentless in publicizing the program. Many of those involved with Plant A Row say that the program is desperately needed because government efforts to restructure the welfare system are leaving an increasing number of people without enough food.
This year, the goal is to deliver 1 million pounds of fresh produce to the nation's food-distribution agencies by 2000.
"Plant A Row is a people-helping-people campaign," says Jaqui Heriteau, national director for the project. "We really treasure everyone who wants to help."
Ms. Heriteau emphasizes that the program can extend beyond home gardens. "Organizations like churches and schools can - and have - grown and donated mounds of produce."
Heriteau says that the first thing people ask is: How do gardeners who participate get produce into the right hands?
"Plant A Row committees make arrangements for food to be dropped off at pick-up points to make it easier for gardeners," she says.
In cities where the program has been organized, a committee first locates one or preferably several agencies in the area that need and can handle garden produce. (GWAA has a toll-free number that gardeners can call to find the locations of food banks, soup kitchens, and other agencies that accept fresh produce; see box, right.)
"Food banks and soup kitchens usually greet fresh produce [from Plant A Row gardens] with open arms," says Michelle Halvorsen, who works for Second Harvest food bank in Milwaukee, Wis.
"Food banks and shelters don't see much fresh produce - much of what they serve comes from cans," she says
Ms. Halvorsen says many home gardeners believe it hardly seems worth their effort for one bushel of produce. "That's simply not true," she says. "They all add up."
No government funds needed
Joan Jackson, garden columnist for the San Jose Mercury News, pioneered the Plant A Row program two years ago within her California community. She encouraged local gardeners to sign a pledge to grow and donate fresh produce.
The response was overwhelming. Within the first year of her campaign, readers had donated 34,000 pounds of fruit and vegetables to area hunger-relief agencies.
Ms. Jackson says that Plant A Row works so well because it's "carried out in a way that requires no governmental funds and no big cuts or donations from businesses or organizations."
*John Christian Hoyle is on the Monitor staff.
How you can participate
1. Plant an extra row in your garden, no matter its size.
2. Plant vegetables and fruits that travel and keep well: broccoli, cabbage, carrots, peas, green beans, tomatoes, sweet peppers, eggplants, summer squash (including zucchini), winter squash, onions, beets, apples, and pears. Herbs are also welcome.
3. Harvest and thoroughly clean the produce.
4. Contact your local food bank, soup kitchen, church, social agency, or Salvation Army to donate the fresh produce.
Or, call FoodChain at 800-845-3080 or Second Harvest at 800-771-2302 to locate donation agencies.

Q: Hibernate is so slow on remoted database (Postgresql) I'm using hibernate but I'm facing a performance problem with it!
When I use it on a local database it's extremely fast but very slow on a remoted database (and by remoted database I mean in a local network)!!
Why?!!
I know you will say maybe it's a lazy loading problem but I have tested it on simple select for one entity (without children) but still slow, check this out:
public List<Employee> read() {
        List<Employee> objects = null;
        Transaction tx = null;
        try {
            tx = HibernateUtil.SESSION.beginTransaction();
            Long start = System.currentTimeMillis();
            objects = HibernateUtil.SESSION.createQuery("FROM Employee AS T ORDER BY T.id DESC").list();
            Long stop = System.currentTimeMillis();
            System.out.println( "Time: " + (stop - start) + "ms." );
            tx.commit();
        } catch (HibernateException e) {
            if (tx != null)
                tx.rollback();
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        return objects;
    }

As you can see a simple select query and this is the result I get:
Locally: 31ms
Remotely: 356ms !!!!
And this is my config file:
<!DOCTYPE hibernate-configuration PUBLIC
        "-//Hibernate/Hibernate Configuration DTD 3.0//EN"
        "http://www.hibernate.org/dtd/hibernate-configuration-3.0.dtd">

<hibernate-configuration>
    <session-factory>
        <property name="hibernate.dialect">org.hibernate.dialect.PostgreSQLDialect</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.driver_class">org.postgresql.Driver</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.username">postgres</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.password">root</property>
        <property name="hibernate.connection.url">jdbc:postgresql://192.168.1.3:5432/my_database</property>
        <property name="connection_pool_size">1</property>
        <property name="hbm2ddl.auto">update</property>
        <property name="show_sql">false</property>
        <property name="hibernate.enable_lazy_load_no_trans">true</property>

    </session-factory>
</hibernate-configuration>

Can you explain this ?

A: You need configure a conection pool
Reasons: The anatomy of Connection Pooling
For example, you can use C3P0 with Postgresql:

Billy Butterfield, a trumpeter who played with the Bob Crosby, Artie Shaw and Benny Goodman bands, died of cancer yesterday at his home. He was 71 years old and lived in North Palm Beach, Fla.
Charles William (Billy) Butterfield, who preferred ballads to jazz, introduced the song ''What's New'' when he was with the Bob Crosby band in the 1930's, and it remained closely identified with him. His tenure with Artie Shaw is remembered for his performance of ''Stardust'' and his playing with Mr. Shaw's 1940 Gramercy Five.
During his World War II military service, Mr. Butterfield performed with the U.S. Army Band, and in the mid-1940's he started to play with the staff orchestras of ABC and NBC. He also played with the Les Brown orchestra and the World's Greatest Jazz Band, which was founded in 1968. From 1973 until the 80's he toured frequently in the United Kingdom, Europe and South Africa.
Mr. Butterfield is survived by his wife, Dorothy; two daughters, Deborah Curtis of Lake Park, Fla., and Judi Burke of Palm Beach Gardens, Fla., and two sons, Michael, of Charlotte, N.C., and Patrick, of Charlottesville, Va.


The picture shows this Maximus Beer Advertising Flicker Card / Sticker. Because of the different views flicker Items are very difficult to scan. One view pictures a beer can which has the print "MAXIMUS" all over it and the label reads "MAXIMUS SUPER" with a lion in the center. The other view shows a colorful cloud with lightning bolts over a foaming beer mug and reads "Maximus--It's No Ordinary Beer". The bottom reads: "BEER- F.X. Matt Brewing Co., Utica, N.Y. D-1-74. The back still had the paper and it is unsed! It is in near mint condition and measures 5-1/8" x 3-7/8". The action is great!! To bad it doesnÕt show up on a scan.

Q: How to use Waterfall process in Nodejs using LUIS I have LUIS app created, with 1 intent(Order Pizza) and 9 entities(Order,Kind, Signature, Size, Toppings, address, Time, Duration, Range).
I need to create a bot in Azure Bot Framework. I'm unable to understand and use the waterfall for all the entities. Please let me know how to go about it
Code :
 dialog.matches('OrderPizza', [
 function (session, args, next) {

   var order = builder.EntityRecognizer.findEntity(args.entities, 'order');
   var kind = builder.EntityRecognizer.findEntity(args.entities, 'Kind');
   session.dialogData.intentScore = args.score;

   if (!order) {
       builder.Prompts.text(session, 'welcome please order pizza');
   } else {
       session.dialogData.order = order;
       next();
   }
 },
 function (session, results) {
   var order = session.dialogData.order;
   if (results.response) {
       session.send('what kind?');
   }else{
       session.send(`we don't have that kind of pizza`);
   }
 }

    ]);

How to go further for other entities?

A: I'm not sure what you mean by only being able to write 2 functions; but if you're trying to call LUIS inside of your dialog you can follow this example. You'll call a LuisRecognizer inside your waterfall step on session.message.text. The snippet from the example is below:
builder.LuisRecognizer.recognize(session.message.text, '<model url>', function (err, intents, entities) {
   if (entities) {
     var entity = builder.EntityRecognizer.findEntity(entities, 'TYPE');
     // do something with entity...
   }
});

This would allow you to call LUIS inside a waterfall for recognizing your user's messages.
Regarding your code there is a number of issues:
// Original Code
dialog.matches('OrderPizza', [
  function (session, args, next) {
   var order = builder.EntityRecognizer.findEntity(args.entities, 'order');
   var kind = builder.EntityRecognizer.findEntity(args.entities, 'Kind');
   session.dialogData.intentScore = args.score;

   if (!order) { // What about kind?
       builder.Prompts.text(session, 'welcome please order pizza');
   } else {
       session.dialogData.order = order; // What about kind?
       next();
   }
 },
 function (session, results) {
   var order = session.dialogData.order;
   if (results.response) {
       session.send('what kind?');
   }else{
       session.send(`we don't have that kind of pizza`);
   }
 }
]);

In your first waterfall step you're not saving the "Kind" entity to your dialogData.
function (session, args, next) {
  var order = builder.EntityRecognizer.findEntity(args.entities, 'order');
  var kind = builder.EntityRecognizer.findEntity(args.entities, 'Kind');
  session.dialogData.intentScore = args.score;

  if (kind) {
    session.dialogData.kind = kind;
  }

  if (!order) {
    builder.Prompts.text(session, 'welcome please order pizza');
  } else {
     session.dialogData.order = order;
     next();
  }
}

In your second waterfall step you are not calling next, nor are you sending a Prompt to the user, which results in you being stuck after two functions.
function (session, results, next) {
  var order = session.dialogData.order ? session.dialogData.order : results.response;
  var kind = session.dialogData.kind;

  if (results.response && !kind) {
    builder.Prompts.text(session, 'what kind?');
  } else {
    session.send('we don\'t have that kind of pizza');
    next();
  }
}

NMS Reviews TV Car Shows and Books
If you're an F1 fan, you know Ross Brawn and Adrian Newey
Like most Americans, we watch the TV from time to time, and will even read the odd magazine or book, mostly if it's auto racing related. Here's a quick round up of stuff that caught our eye outside of the internet.
1. On Amazon Prime, surely the BEST car show on TV, The Grand Tour! This is season two of this show, which turns out to be amazingly like the BBC Top Gear show, since it features the previous stars of Top Gear. With Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond, and James May managing to drive and/or destroy everything interesting that comes on wheels, their brand of funny entertainment and road going vehicles of all kinds has been the gold standard for many years. While the first season of The Grand Tour was a bit rough around the edges, I'd rate the 2nd season is right back to landing in the "great" category again, so thank goodness for that! They got rid of "The American" character from season 1, briefly let us know that their new driver is Abbie Eaton without really featuring her yet, and continued having famous people drive an awesome Jaguar around their paved and dirt track for bragging rights. The highlight of that particular bit in each show was the episode that determined who was "The Fastest Drummer from a Band Whose Name Starts With P". Since I already knew of Nick Mason from the band Pink Floyd and Stewart Copeland from the band The Police, I thought this was great!
2. A new show on Amazon Prime is Grand Prix Driver, and it was just released February 9th. I watched all 4 episodes at once (since they're only about a half hour each). The show was filmed to get a behind the scenes look at the 2017 McLaren Formula 1 team's season, so I had HUGE hopes for this being a great program! Unfortunately, the 2017 McLaren season was horrible, with the team finishing in 9th place out of only 10 teams. On the bright side, the first 3.5 episodes give us a look at the drivers, the team, the McLaren facilities, as they all are working to prep for the new season. That part was great, all leading up to the pre-season testing of the car on track. From that point on of course, the Honda motor kept having issues, and at this point the show grinds to a big halt. Instead of several more episodes of the drama of each race all year long, we get a quick wrap up of the season with McLaren dropping the Honda engine and signing a new deal for Renault engines to start in 2018. Seriously, that's it, no footage of any actual races last year, just the bottom line story that the entire season (that we don't get to see) was lousy!
Maybe I was expecting too much, but it was kind of like making a movie of the Titanic, showing everything going great, and then just informing the audience "but then the darn thing sank" and stopping at that! To give them the benefit of the doubt, if the car and engine would have been brilliant and the team had a good year, maybe there would have been more episodes. Who knows? So, if you're an F1 fan, you'll probably still like it, but if not, the main thing the show has going for it is the narration of Michael Douglas!
3. Another show I've watched a bit is Fantom Works on the Velocity Channel. Unlike most of the car/garage shows on TV, this one features a normal guy who runs a car repair shop in Norfolk Virginia without a lot of fake drama. We were lucky enough to visit them last year, and the last couple of shows we watched featured a lot of work on a 1962 Maserati, a 66 VW Beetle, and an Amphibcar that drives on land and in water. After taking the tour, we can confirm that they have a huge workshop and can fix pretty much anything to make it like new if you're willing to pay for it!
4. Adrian Newey is currently the head designer for the Red Bull Formula 1 team, and over his career he's designed multiple world champion cars for that team and others. His book briefly runs down his life story and gets into some of the details along the way of his many years working in Formula 1, designing Indy Cars, and other car designs along the way like the Aston Martin Valkyrie supercar. I enjoyed reading his book, maybe I just like autobiographies of people who do things I can't!
5. Ross Brawn is similar to Adrian Newey, and has also designed multiple world champion cars in F1. He was also the team owner during Jenson Button's championship year, which came about because the Honda company left Formula 1, so Ross and some others bought the team. Amazingly enough, they managed to get an engine deal with Mercedes at the last minute, and then won the championship anyway! Before that, you might have heard of a few teams he managed that won some world championships, Benetton and Ferrari, both with Michael Schumacher! Ross has now moved up to be one of the chief guys for Liberty Media that now own Formula 1, with Ross as the chief of technical matters for all of F1. That would be like Bill Belichick going on from coaching the Super Bowl winning Patriots to owning the team, and then becoming the Commissioner of the NFL too.
Unlike the Newey book all about designing cars, Brawn gets into the strategies of competition, which could apply in business as much as in motor racing. While the book isn't a step by step detail of the process that he's used in leading various F1 teams, it covers a lot of ground in the overall strategy of leading large teams and keeping lots of people focused on a team goal. Given his record in F1, I thought it was a fun book!

The Bizarre Bazaar was an array of performers and creations. Music, dance, art, fashion and fire filled the rooms of the Studio known as 1212, the perfect space for such a variety. Just down the street from the neighborhood shops, it can usually be found hosting smaller events of movies projected, live music, and hula hooping.
I was granted free rein of the kitchen and while the proceeds were to go towards nutritional education of students in Pisco, Peru I was showing the Plaza Midwood visitors the ways of quinoa and baguette french toast with strawberries.
I managed to sneak away for a peek at the fashion show by my favorite local vintage dresser, raw velvet and after feeding was done I was granted a lovely hulu hoop made by a local NC girl who thought to make it retractable but I just can't put down to figure that part out yet.
salad for lunch: easy, I promise.


Roundabouts are safer for pedestrians and bicyclists than traditional stop-controlled or signalized intersections because the travel speeds are lower and crossing distance is shorter. Splitter islands at the approach to the roundabout provide a refuge for pedestrians and enable crossing in one direction of traffic at a time.
Walk around the outside of the roundabout and cross at the crosswalks.
Vehicles should yield to pedestrians upon entry and exiting the roundabout, however, pedestrians should ALWAYS look before crossing.
Do NOT cross through the middle of the roundabout or dwell in the circular median.
as a vehicle by merging with vehicular traffic upon entering the roundabout and continuing around the intersection in the center of the lane to avoid being cut-off by other vehicles. Bicyclists must yield to pedestrians at crosswalks when exiting the roundabout.
Bicyclists also have the option of travelling through the roundabout as a pedestrian in which case they dismount and walk the bicycle on the sidewalk.


The Internet is the basic infrastructure for global movement of data. Phenomenal growth means the Internet has become a daily presence in both the commercial arena and at home.

Ships from Norway and Denmark have picked up nearly 1,000 migrants from small boats off the coast of Libya in the past 24 hours.
Svein Kvalavaag, the captain of the Norwegian Siem Pilot vessel, said on Monday he picked up 671 people from two wooden boats north of the Libyan capital, Tripoli. Late on Monday night, it was asked to take 99 more migrants that had been rescued by a Russian tanker.
Kvalavaag told the Norwegian maritime industry websitemaritime.no that the 770 people included 140 women, of whom three were pregnant, and 45 children. They were all taken to Sicily.
The Norwegian supply vessel had recently joined the EU's border protection agency, Frontex, the Norwegian news agency NTB said.
Jesper Jensen, a spokesman for the Denmark-based Torm company, said its Singapore-flagged oil tanker Torm Arawa on Monday responded to call from the Italian coastguard after two boats carrying migrants were reported in distress off the Libyan coast.
Jensen said on Tuesday that it picked up 222 people, gave them food, water and blankets and took them to a port in Calabria in southern Italy.
In the past months, thousands of migrants have been crossing the Mediterranean to reach Italy and Greece. Two thousand are feared to have died.
