Azkals vs Azraq 2012 on 1-2 Score Friendly Match
football game rematch of Team Philippines and Kuwait
october 16, 2012 tuesday
This is my first time to watch live football game, first time also to witness the action of our beloved Philippine National football team, the Philippine Azkals.
Took bus #21 coming from Farwaniya, arrived over an hour earlier than schedule in Kuwait Sports Club Stadium in Kaifan (infront of Kuwait News Agency and Ministry of Foreign Affairs). Ticket bought for 3 KD allocated beside the VIP section.
FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) is the governing body of football worldwide. As of October 2012, Kuwait's global rank is 112nd while Philippines is at 147th (tied with Kazakhstan), the highest rank achieved since the Philippine team is established. In Asian rank, Philippines is at 20th spot while 3rd in South East Asia. Philippines average position from FIFA World Ranking creation is 173rd.

Philippine Azkals vs Kuwait Azraq during 1st half
Started around 1845H, Kuwait Al-Azraq Football team scored 1 goal during the first half. It was not so credible point due I saw the reaction of the Azkal's goalkeeper, he collapsed his defense when one Azraq penetrated the goal area with two Azkals. Then on the second half, both points garnered in free kick. The game ended on a heart-pounding 2 goals for Kuwait against only 1 of Philippines. According to the most of the spectators, this game was much more thrilling compared last year with score of 0-3 in favor of Kuwait though the crowd is very much little. In my honest observation, I think Azkals have to adjust on there running stamina for there offensive attack and formation. I am satisfied somehow with their defense but as far as the World cup is concern, they have to train harder and harder than before. It seems like this game got my interest to Brazil's hosting in World Cup 2014.

Five Questions for Buckeyes after off date, ahead of Maryland matchup
Defensive dissection will be immediate offseason priority for Buckeyes
What We Learned as Buckeyes fell in title game, head into busy offseason
Ohio State: Ryan Day, Buckeyes press conference after title-game loss to Alabama

Published on November 4, 2019 10:00 am
COLUMBUS — The stretch run has arrived at Ohio State.
Sure, the Buckeyes are going to be enormous betting favorites over the next weeks, and it's hard to look at Maryland and Rutgers as anything other than tuneups for arguably the most complete team in the country right now. But the calendar has been flipped to November, which means it's officially time to compete for championships in Columbus.
The off dates are both in the rearview mirror. The chances to relax over a weekend and get healthy without playing are gone. And only four more weeks of regular-season action in the Big Ten are left for Ohio State — which would add even more urgency for the program if it hadn't already been treating every game like the next is the only one that matters and every practice like it's the last.
"There's not one, like, major flaw," Ohio State coach Ryan Day said. "I think there's a lot of little things that we need to work on and clean up and do a better job of, for sure. I mean, watching the film, especially on offense — that first half [against Wisconsin] there's a lot of things to clean up. But it isn't just one thing.
"If you're asking me what are the one or two things we need to focus on, it's not that. It's just a lot of little things that we certainly need to tighten up."
The Buckeyes have used that never-satisfied mentality to fuel their unbeaten, eight-game run through the schedule so far. And while Maryland isn't likely to be much of a threat on Saturday at the Horseshoe, Ohio State found out last year how dangerous it can be to overlook the divisional opponent in a matchup that wound up being far more entertaining than it ever should have been.
So, how will the Buckeyes tackle the days ahead of the matchup with the Terrapins coming off the date? Lettermen Row is kicking off Maryland Week with five questions for Ohio State.

How healthy did Buckeyes get?
At this point of the season, Ohio State would almost certainly consider itself to have been lucky in the injury department. But the Buckeyes haven't ever been fully healthy, either, which could be a scary thought coming out of the off date with a couple key contributors potentially benefitting from the breather over the weekend. All eyes will again be on senior defensive end Jonathon Cooper, who continues to deal with soreness dating back to the high-ankle sprain he suffered in training camp. Fellow senior Austin Mack is trying to get back in action after missing the win over Wisconsin with what Lettermen Row was told was a hamstring issue, and the Buckeyes could use him during the championship push at wide receiver. And even after playing against the Badgers, left tackle Thayer Munford and linebacker Baron Browning still weren't at 100 percent, and the extra time in the training room could wind up being a big boost for those regulars.
What can Chase Young do for Ohio State encore?
The Heisman Trophy spotlight has finally arrived for Chase Young, so more scrutiny over his every move is on the way. If a defensive end is going to break the drought for non-offensive players in the race for the sport's top individual prize, Young is going to have to continue to pile up impressive numbers — which might actually be tricky over the next two weeks with Ohio State likely getting chances to rest the starters early against both Maryland and Rutgers. The superstar junior should truly be judged by what he does in the biggest games, but he's not going to get the same benefit of the doubt as quarterbacks and running backs. Young has never made the Heisman his primary focus and wants to win games more than anything else. But either way, he's probably going to need to work quickly against the Terrapins.
Will Buckeyes start opening up passing attack?
Justin Fields still hasn't topped the 234 passing yards he had in the season opener, and yet Ohio State remains one of the most explosive scoring attacks in the country. So, it's not like the Buckeyes have an issue that needs to be fixed on that side of the ball, the threat of the pass is already keeping defenses honest — and the weather wasn't exactly conducive to airing out the football against Wisconsin. But at some point, Ohio State is probably going to face an opponent capable of at least slowing down the dominant rushing game and putting more pressure on Fields to deliver with his arm. He's certainly shown signs of being up for the challenge, but these next couple games could provide useful opportunities to let him throw more to help prepare for the tougher tests that are coming.

Is Garrett Wilson going to get punt-return nod for Ohio State?
The old coaching cliché about football being a result-based business and the film being the ultimate resumé don't leave much wiggle room for Ohio State. Anybody watching this season can tell that Garrett Wilson is giving the Buckeyes more on special teams, and it will be interesting to see if they're finally ready to officially give him the punt-return job and all the responsibility that comes with it. The coaching staff obviously has the benefit of working with a lot more information on the practice field to make a decision, but the results when it counts decisively favor Wilson over Demario McCall.
"I think when you look at what he's done and the last few returns, he's making a strong move to be the starter," Day said during the off date.
Who will nab next interception in Buckeyes secondary?
Ohio State has proven to be incredibly difficult to throw on thanks to lockdown work in the secondary, and even getting passes off has been a challenge thanks to the Rushmen up front. So, again, there's not much for the Buckeyes to really stress about there heading into November. But for a group of perfectionists looking to strengthen a claim that the unit is again the Best in America, a couple more interceptions would surely help. Damon Arnette may be playing with a cast on his hand, but he's not making excuses and looking to end a drought that goes back to Week Three with his pick six against Indiana. Jeff Okudah hasn't got his hands on the football since his two-pick outing at Nebraska. Expect both of those guys to be focused and fired up to get back in the box score against Maryland.

What are Wall Street analysts saying about Hain Celestial Group stock?
Here are some recent quotes from research analysts about Hain Celestial Group stock:
1. According to Zacks Investment Research, "Hain Celestial's shares have increased in the past three months. We expect the company to deliver an above-average performance in the near term, courtesy of its focus on transformation strategy that benefited the fourth-quarter fiscal 2019 results. The strategy is aimed at simplifying portfolio, solidifying key capacities, enhancing margins, reviving top-line growth and improving cash flows. To this end, the company concluded the sale of Sunspire to focus on areas with better potential. Also, Hain Celestial is well on track with Project Terra, which aims at cutting costs. However, the company's top and bottom lines have been declining year over year. In the fourth quarter, earnings were hit by soft sales due to weakness in most regions. Currency woes also remained a deterrent. Management expects the top line to shrink in fiscal 2020." (10/30/2019)
2. Maxim Group analysts commented, "Market open, HAIN reported mixed F4Q19 (Jun) results, with revenue below consensus, but with non-GAAP GM above consensus, and non-GAAP EPS slightly above expectations. We expect revenue declines into F1H21 due to the removal of SKUs that are unprofitable. However, this should bolster margins, and reposition the company on a path to profitable revenue growth. Management has chosen not to give revenue guidance for FY20 as they have in the past, as it is difficult to predict topline while culling SKUs and conducting a turnaround." (8/30/2019)
3. Jefferies Financial Group Inc analysts commented, "Following investor meetings w/ new CEO, Mark Schiller, we have increased conviction in our Buy rating. We view the new strategy as sound, and expect improved execution driven by a combination of new people, processes, incentives & products. Over the next FY, sales will be down a lot (aggressive cut in tail) before they start growing again but we expect consistent sequential EBITDA improvement. We view the risk/reward as attractive, especially for LT investors." (3/15/2019)

*Calm Pet Formula Hemp Oil ships throughout the United States, and other select countries.
Give your family pet the goodness of Calm Pet Formula Hemp Oil.
Imagine seeing some bounce back in your pet's step, easing their everyday discomforts, and providing calming relief to how they respond to stress and anxiety. Give your family pet the head to tail benefits of a premium full spectrum hemp oil, specially formulated for their needs.
The cannabinoids found in hemp oil are making news for their wide range of health benefits. Studies show that cannabinoids such as cannabidiol (CBD) can help soothe temporary inflammation, ease stress and anxiety, relieve joint discomfort, and overall calm the body and mind. That makes cannabinoid-rich hemp oil the perfect natural solution for family pets.
Whether you have a young pet that is overly stressed and vocal, or an older pet who is finding it hard to get around, full spectrum hemp oil can help bring balance and calm back to your pet. Give them the relief they need with the natural, plant-based approach of hemp oil.
While industrial hemp was used for rope and fabric, today's premium non-GMO strains are cultivated for optimal nutritional benefit. Working with organic farmers and scientists, Calm Pet Formula Hemp Oil has been developed for maximum effectiveness, in a 100% natural, full spectrum formula.
And our extraction methods are state-of-the-art. While others may use harsh solvents to extract hemp oil, Calm Pet Formula Hemp Oil uses supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) which delivers a full spectrum extract for head to tail benefits that is pure and free of solvents.
Most hemp oil supplements are difficult to absorb due to the large droplet size of the oil. But Calm Pet Formula Hemp Oil uses advanced nano-emulsification technology. Our advanced absorption means you get a greater value compared to other providers because you can use the smallest recommended dose for your furry family members and still get a great result.
Nano-emulsification technology breaks the oil down into tiny droplets so it can be rapidly absorbed. It beats liposomal delivery because our oil droplets are anywhere from 4 to 40 times smaller. This means all the beneficial compounds can get to work much faster. And it also increases the surface area of the hemp oil for increased bioavailability, so it is a fast-acting and highly effective hemp oil.
A big problem with many hemp oil supplements is that they are contaminated with pesticides, heavy metals, and other contaminants. These are things you'd never want to give to your pets.
This is why we lab test our premium hemp oil to be absolutely sure it's free of contaminants. Calm Pet Formula Hemp Oil has also been tested to show that it contains zero THC.
How does Hemp Oil Work for Pets?
While much of the news on hemp oil is focused on its health benefits in people, pets can experience many of the same benefits. That's because pets also have an Endocannabinoids System (ECS) that responds to cannabinoids from plant sources (such as hemp).
There are over 80+ beneficial compounds that are naturally found in hemp. Collectively these compounds are called cannabinoids. When you give your pet hemp oil, you support all of these areas through their endocannabinoid system.
Restore their natural playfulness and vitality. Terpenes, flavonoids and cannabinoids in full spectrum hemp oil may cool the effects of temporary inflammation, fight oxidative stress, promote restful sleep and help your pet recover after activities. So, they get back to being more like themselves.
Got a stressed-out dog or kitty? Do they overreact to visitors or cower when thunder is near? Hemp oil may help ease that stress and anxiety. Research suggests that cannabidiol (CBD) can help relieve the effects of stress, making for a calmer, happier pet.
As your dog or cat gets older, their joints can become stiff with age making it hard for them to move without discomfort. Calm Pet Formula may help ease joint discomfort thanks to cannabidiol (CBD), other cannabinoids and beneficial omegas, making them more comfortable when active or resting.
Pets need essential fatty acids too. Full spectrum hemp oil is a natural source of essential fatty acids, delivered at optimal omega ratios. These include omega-6 (linoleic acid), omega-3 (alpha-linoleic acid), and omega-9 (oleic acid). These healthy fats promote head to tail health, supporting a healthy heart, brain function, and even adding luster to a glossy coat.
Calm Pet Formula is specially formulated to remove any trace of THC, so it's safe and effective for all furry family members. It also comes with a pet-appropriate level of cannabinoids with 4mg of cannabidiol (CBD) per ½ dropper serving, and comes in a natural flavor that pets love.
Now you can give furry family members the calming benefits of full spectrum hemp oil in a fast-acting tincture. Calm Pet Formula comes from organically grown hemp, with a natural flavor that pets love.
The phytocannabinoid-rich hemp extract in Calm Pet Formula comes complete with terpenes, flavonoids and cannabinoids, including 4 mg of cannabidiol (CBD) per serving (½ dropper).
Calm Pet Formula is ideal for cats and dogs. The amount to use will be based on the weight of your pet. Vets typically recommend using 1 mg of cannabinoid-rich hemp extract per 10 lbs. weight. For example, one half dropper has 4 mg of extract, suitable for a 40 lbs. dog.
See the suggested use chart for easy reference on dosage for pets.
Because of the premium strain of hemp used and advanced absorption, you may wish to start slowly and then increase to the appropriate serving size twice a day. To use, shake the bottle gently, then place the desired number of drops in your pet's favorite food.
As with any pet supplement, consult with your vet before using. Keep the bottle in a cool, dry place and out of the reach of children.
All mammals (including dogs and cats) have something called the endocannabinoid system. The cannabinoids in hemp oil act on this system along with some other receptors to support overall health and well-being.
How much Calm Pet Formula should I give my dog or cat?
The amount of Calm Pet Formula to be used will be based on the weight of your pet. Vets typically recommend using 1 mg of cannabinoid-rich hemp extract per 10 lbs. weight. For example, one half dropper has 4 mg of extract, suitable for a 40 lb. dog. Use it twice a day, and see the suggested use chart for easy reference on dosage for pets.
How do I give my pet the Calm Pet Formula?
First, shake the bottle gently. Place the desired number of drops in your pet's favorite food. Because of the premium strain of hemp used and advanced absorption, start with the lowest suggested serving for your furry companion's size and adjust as needed.
Will this Hemp Oil Make my Pet High?
Nope! Our hemp oil is made from strains of hemp that contain minimal amounts of THC. Our proprietary manufacturing then uses chromatography to remove any remaining THC while still preserving the other beneficial compounds. The end result is a product with zero THC, which means no psychoactive effect.
Are there any negative side effects in taking hemp oil?
Full spectrum hemp oil has a range of benefits for your furry family members, and there are no known negative side effects. However, dogs in particular have a sensitivity to the cannabinoid THC so you should choose a THC-free formula for canines. Calm Pet Formula is free of THC.
None at all. Our proprietary manufacturing removes all the THC while preserving the other beneficial compounds, making Calm Pet Formula a safe and effective supplement for your pet.
Can Calm Pet Formula be Used by Humans too?
While developed for animals with a pet-appropriate level of cannabinoids, this formula is perfectly safe and effective for humans too. For a greater level of cannabinoids per serving, check out our other premium hemp oil product offerings.
What Does Calm Pet Formula Taste Like?
Calm Pet Formula comes with a natural flavor that pets love. No flavoring is added, so the natural plant flavor of the organically-grown hemp can shine through.
The superior strain of hemp in Calm Pet Formula (250mg) is rich in cannabidiol (CBD). The exact amount of CBD is confirmed by independent analysis (view reports on the Overview tab). However, there is more to our hemp oil than just CBD. Our full spectrum formula includes dozens of cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. Therefore, it is listed on the label as a "phytocannabinoid-rich" hemp oil to reflect the full spectrum of the extract used. Labeling this way also ensures the source of the CBD oil is clearly identified as being from legally farmed hemp.

Real Scientific Hemp Oil(TM) - RSHO(TM) - Featured on Brazil Government's ANVISA Website with Import Instructions.
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Real Scientific Hemp Oil™ (RSHO™), made by Medical Marijuana, Inc. (OTC Pink:MJNA), is making headline news as the U.S.'s first and largest legal hemp-based cannabis export. As reported by ABC 10 News, the all-natural, non-GMO hemp-based cannabidiol (CBD) oil product is now approved by the government of Brazil for import with approved in-country documentation. This historic shift in international cannabis law has made Brazil the largest single client for the San Diego-based company.
"San Diego is becoming a major hub for these hemp CBD products," states Stuart W. Titus, PhD and Chief Executive Officer of Medical Marijuana, Inc., in the ABC 10 News interview.
The major change in international cannabis regulations is due to two little girls, Harper Howard age 5 and Anny Fischer age 6, from the U.S. and Brazil. Their mothers connected through the Hope4Harper.com Facebook support group for the rare genetic disorder: CDKL5 epilepsy. MJNA's CBD hemp oil products are readily available in and ship to all U.S. states, territories, and districts. In contrast, hemp oil products are handled quite differently in Brazil and what resulted from the mothers' online connection led to a new chapter in world history.
The Brazilian government, until recently, viewed anything made from cannabis – including non-psychoactive hemp – as illegal and, therefore, a controlled substance. The US has allowed hemp based products – hemp seed, hemp oil and hemp protein powder since the late 1990's and a federal court ruling upheld this allowance of hemp nutritional products.
After hearing the testimony of the Fischer family and their daughter Anny's need for RSHO, however, a Brazilian Federal Judge deemed it "inhumane" to keep it (RSHO hemp oil) from the little girl – as it was helping to alleviate the potentially fatal condition when no pharmaceutical medications were working. Then, after a series of historic rulings, ANVISA removed CBD from Brazil's prohibited substance use list, removed the import tax and is actively subsidizing the cost for those who need financial assistance. (Note, perhaps we say botanical-based CBD in prior sentence).
Hemp is widely regarded as a "whole food" and "super food." MJNA's cannabidiol (CBD) hemp oil is derived from the mature stalk of the hemp plant and is considered a food nutrient delivering the benefits of cannabinoids without the psychotropic/euphoric effects of THC. The Company is committed to consistently providing the highest-quality CBD hemp oil products on the market.

This paper describes an algorithm for distributed acoustic navigation for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs). Whereas typical AUV navigation systems utilize pre-calibrated arrays of static transponders, our work seeks to create a fully mobile network of AUVs that perform acoustic ranging and data exchange with one another to achieve cooperative positioning for extended duration missions over large areas. The algorithm enumerates possible solutions for the AUV trajectory based on dead-reckoning and range-only measurements provided by acoustic modems that are mounted on each vehicle, and chooses the trajectory via minimization of a cost function based on these constraints. The resulting algorithm is computationally efficient, meets the strict bandwidth requirements of available AUV modems, and has potential to scale well to networks of large numbers of vehicles. The method has undergone extensive experimentation, and results from three different scenarios are reported in this paper, each of which utilizes MIT SCOUT Autonomous Surface Craft (ASC) as convenient platforms for testing. In the first experiment, we utilize three ASCs, each equipped with a Woods Hole acoustic modem, as surrogates for AUVs. In this scenario, two ASCs serve as Communication/Navigation Aids (CNAs) for a third ASC that computes its position based exclusively on GPS positions of the CNAs and acoustic range measurements between platforms. In the second scenario, an undersea glider is used in conjunction with two ASCs serving as CNAs. Finally, in the third experiment, a Bluefin12 AUV serves as the target vehicle. All three experiments demonstrate the successful operation of the technique with real ocean data.

A radio interview that I gave recently is now up as a podcast!
I talked with Gil Mansergh, host of KRCB's Word by Word, about Risuko, including what inspired the book and what it was like to write , and how my work with Joseph Campbell Foundation on books like The Hero with a Thousand Faces and Pathways to Bliss influenced my writing. I also read some fun sections of the book aloud — my version of Kee Sun probably reminds you of another literary character (not intentional)!


The picture really does speak the words!
I like this one alot it has more meaning then what meets the eye... Eww pun anyhow it's really cool.
That is so cool! I like the concept, shutting your eyes as to see.
I'm amazed by the way you painted those lines. The shading, the transition between the face and the eyes... Great work !

We recently stayed at CenterParcs Les Barils, France in cabin 336. Booking confirmation: 7404571 (arrival Monday 2 April 2018 departing Friday 6 April 2018). Please note we are frequent visitors to CenterParcs both in the UK and in Europe. This is the first time that we felt the need to complain. On arrival at the above listed cabin, we found it to be in a poor state of cleanliness. It also had a mosquito and ant infestation. We had to purchase the anti-mosquito plug ins and also the treatment for the ants. Unfortunately, due to the timescales we were not able to purchase the necessary insect repellents until first thing on the Tuesday 3 April a.m. This left us badly bitten by the mosquitos which meant that all four of us including the children had been badly bitten several times by mosquitos. The ants had also got in to the clothes and we had to store all of our food (including dry food) in the fridge. The bathroom was riddled with ants and every time our children went in there, it meant they walked the dead ones through to the cabin. At a cost of over 50 euros we found ourselves on our first full day treating the log cabin whereby we should have been enjoying the park. We were also severely uncomfortable from the amount of mosquito bits suffered. As regular users of CenterParcs we find this totally unacceptable and require your immediate intervention and we also require an explanation as to what action you will be taking to subsidise us for this holiday.
The swimming pool was excellent.
Restaurant options at venue were limited and poor in quality . Having to purchase Wifi at such a location is inconvenient and unacceptable when it is free in so many places these days. Having to pay for just about every activity on site except for the pool is also a bit much.


Analyst firm Forrester recently reported that we have now entered the Age of the Customer where the customer is in control and the only way for brands to differentiate is by delivering an optimal customer experience. Yet with brands exploring what personalisation and behaviour-led targeting entails, many are getting bogged down in a morass of historical customer data. While analysing a customer's past behaviour and activity is important, it is only the first step. Only by adding the most current contextual data and enabling real-time targeting parameters can brands deliver a personalised customer experience that best serves the individual needs of each customer.
Personalisation is not a 'set and forget' activity; it is an evolutionary, iterative process that demands real-time testing and measurement to create the best, most relevant, personalised customer experience.
So what does 'getting closer to your customer' mean in practice? Before brands can begin to implement and see the value of personalisation across their digital channels, they must first agree on the larger business goals.
There is far more to transforming and improving how customers interact with your brand than simply collecting data and compiling detailed reports on customer behaviour. Unless brands can actively and rapidly transform those insights into tangible and worthwhile benefits (better known as ROI and actual sales), all that data is just academic.
So how can a brand get close to customers and provide services and product offers that feel authentic, show value, make them want to click through their site and seamlessly move them through the purchase funnel? How can personalisation help brands reduce the cost of sale, especially cost of acquisition, and increase revenue? While this may be common practice in the offline world, brands should become more adept at exploring and leveraging CRM data if they want to make every single decision made on their websites count.
Static web sites are no longer compelling enough to hold the attention of consumers, who are often connected to multiple devices, have short attention spans and minimal patience for brands that don't get the customer experience right. Using traditional customer segmentation parameters based upon fixed rules can only present a one-size-fits-all customer experience that just won't cut it any longer.
True personalisation comes down to understanding the context of a visitor's behaviour and activity, and must include previous click streams, location, device preference and so much more. Context is both historical and in real-time, enabling brands to tailor the experience to reflect not only previous behaviours but also current and cross-channel activity. In practice, this means using dynamic contextual information to tailor the customer experience in real-time.
For example, is a returning customer visiting the site from a mobile device or desktop/laptop computer? What did the customer buy last time? What types of keywords did they search? What is their complete buying history? What content is the customer looking at right now? And is this customer more likely to browse or buy when on a particular device?
It is important to recognise that personalised customer experiences need to go beyond the content itself. For example, if a telecommunications customer still has six months left on their contract before they are eligible to upgrade, what is the value of showing this customer photos of new phones while online? Why not, instead, leverage the insights indicating the customer routinely uses international roaming and is browsing portable wi-fi devices to present offers that relate to international data plans or wi-fi tethering options that would allow the customer to use his/her mobile device as a wi-fi hotspot? The content and offer is, therefore, tailored to meet the real-time behaviour and historical relationship of that customer.
Being flexible is also important. Travel brands can tailor the holiday booking process to reflect not only the customer, but also the type of holiday currently being searched for. For example, the same individual may book a week-long holiday in Ibiza for five adults at one visit, while booking a holiday for two adults and children in the US at another time.
Underpinning this targeted content, offers and journey is the ability to not only segment customers based on past and current behaviour, but to also flag the most important attributes of customers within each of those segments and then automatically predict the content that will be the most effective. By continually monitoring results, an optimisation tool should be able to identify the winning experiences for each segment and increase the promotion of that content.
It is this ability to automate the process that is the key to exploiting the real-time context. Attempting to tailor and target content manually across multiple segments throughout a customer lifecycle, in real time, is simply not feasible anymore for any most brands.
Personalisation is clearly a compelling proposition. But it is also challenging. It is, therefore, essential to understand the effectiveness of personalisation strategies. This is a process of continual optimisation to refine and find the optimal customer experience.
Is presenting returning customers with different content, offers and journeys than those served to non- customers successful? And which landing pages or offers resonate best with each individual visitor profile? Does offering different booking experiences depending on the type of holiday make a difference in conversion rates and/or frequency of customer return? If so, what is the value of building on that model to tailor content to customers who return after a period of one week, one month or over six months? How much additional value is being created by tailoring the customer experience?
To continually refine and drive personalisation in this way demands that brands adopt an ongoing culture of testing and learning. Unless brands can scientifically measure each form of customer engagement against desired goals and metrics, there will be no real value long-term to the business' bottom line. No brand can afford to spend the time, resources and budget (be it small or big) if personalisation fails to demonstrate the reduced business costs or increased value that can be achieved by getting closer to customers.

Official Release on CD Baby, iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify, and more on 10/1/2017.
Featuring some of New York City's most in demand jazz musicians pianist Jorn Swart, bassist Cory Todd, drummer Dan Pugach, as well as Cincinnati-based guitarist Brandon Coleman, the Sam Blakeslee Quintet's repertoire features engaging and emotional original compositions in an interactive instrumental format. Instead of choosing to emulate a saxophone or trumpet, trombonist and composer Sam Blakeslee uses a more heartfelt and lyrical approach to his improvising on his debut album.
This collection of songs represents the process of coming into your own as an individual. Each composition is chronologically meaningful to my own development as a trombonist, composer, and husband over the past four years as well as racially charged events that have inspired my writing. The title track Selective Coverage is based on the unfair media coverage of minorities and the ongoing struggle to provide universal healthcare for all people.

This is one of the finest, most beautiful, serene, spacious and tastefully appointed B&Bs we have ever stayed at. Lorne is a most gracious host.
Thank you so much. We loved our stay here. The room was beautiful and so comfortable. The breakfasts were amazing...I could have stayed longer.
Of all the places we stayed, we felt most welcomed by both of you...You took an interest in us and shared something of yourselves as well. This is unusual, even for B&Bs. So we will have a special memory of Lunenburg.
Stupid mistake not to stay here longer!! Janet and Lorne have made us feel at home in less than 12 hours, in this beautiful and quiet house. Breakfast was fabulous and offers the best coffee in Nova Scotia (if not in English Canada).
We wish you all the best in this challenging proposal and from the very little we know of you, are convinced you'll do magic with this B&B. Salut!
I also want to thank you for a memorable stay and your lovely, clean, charming B&B. Unfortunately you spoiled us for the trip; in over 17 days, nobody made us coffee the way you did! Delicious!
We couldn't have asked for a nicer experience. What a great breakfast Lorne made and Janet was great. Really enjoyed our stay!
What a divine place! The fruits of your (endless) labour. Thanks for being so kind to us—and in tantas idiomas.
A 5-star experience! We've reveled in the luxury of the Tamarack (Green) Room, relaxed on the verandah, appreciated your photography and loved the way you've integrated your former lives with the former lives of W.D. (William Duff) et al. Best of luck with your "greening" plans. My sister and I wll cherish this memory.
What a magical place! Thanks for opening your home and hearts to us. We truly enjoyed being able to spend time with both of you, as well as Jackie and Fred, Roy and Cindy. We love meeting new people and having fun and interesting conversations. We will certainly come and visit you again, and we will stay in the Periwinkle room again. We love that room and bathtub! The wine was great, the breakfasts even better, but being with you all at the Alicion was the best!
We could not have started our vacation in a more beautiful, warm and wonderful place. Thank you so much for everything!!!
Truly a wonderful B&B - the best we have visited. Nova Scotia was even more beautiful than we imagined. Thank you fro a wonderful visit.
What an enchanting home and setting! Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. The room and tub were fantastic.
The house is full of love and harmony. To stay here is not just an exceptional breakfast and a tasteful room, it is the possibility to share your kindness; your taste for beauty and nature. Thank you fro all your effort and care and sharing it with us.
Being here was a delightful experience. You were gracious and most efficient. The breakfast was wonderful!
Success in business means having the right product and the right attitude—you guys have both in huge quantities—well done, a great find.
We had a wonderful stay! Everything was perfect and the breakfast was wonderful! It was nice to see where Senator Duff lived - a nice piece of family history for me. The photos around the house were absolutely gorgeous. Thank you both for everything!
Absolutely lovely home stay away from home. Your tase is evident in the warmth and invitation that your home exudes. A very lovely stay for all of us! Our best in Nova Scotia.

Q: C# User Control - How to tell containing object the control needs data I am creating a C# WinForms user control. There will be times when the user control will need data from the form it's contained in. How do I go about having the user control tell the form containing it that it needs some data?
Thanks!

A: You can subscribe the form to an event raised on the UserControl.
Your archiecture dictates where and when you need to subscribe to the data event.  We can't answer that without knowing a little more about how your whether you are adding the control at runtime or design time.  Each case will require a little derivation.  From the perspective of adding your control at runtime, you could do something similar to the following:
// Your sample control
public class MyUserControl : Control
{
    public event EventHandler<EventArgs> INeedData;
    public Data Data {get; set;}

    private class DoSomething()
    {
        if(INeedData!=null) INeedData(this,null);
    }
}

...

// Your Form, in the case that the control isn't already added.
var _myUserControl = new MyUserControl();
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    _myUserControl.INeedData += new EventHandler<EventArgs>(MyUserControl_INeedData);
    this.Controls.Add(myUserControl);
}

void MyUserControl_INeedData(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    _myUserControl.Data = SomeData;
}

A: Create an event on the user control where the event args are editable. Let the form attach a handler to that event, which updates those fields. Use those fields in the OnEvent method.
[untested]
eg.
public delegate void NeedsUserDataEventHandler(object sender, NeedsUserDataEventArgs args);

public class NeedsUserDataEventArgs : EventArgs
{
    public UserData UserData { get; set; }
}

// In Control
public event NeedsUserDataEventHandler NeedsUserData;

public void OnNeedsUserData(NeedsUserDataEventArgs args)
{
    NeedsUserDataEventHandler handler = NeedsUserData;
    if (handler != null) handler(this, args);
    // store your data somewhere here
}

// In Form
public override void OnLoad(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    control.NeedsUserData += ControlNeedsUserData;
}

public override void OnClosed(object sender, EventArgs args)
{
    control.NeedsUserData -= ControlNeedsUserData;
}

public void ControlNeedsUserData (object sender, NeedsUserDataEventArgs args)
{
    args.UserData = // set whatever here
}

A: Create a custom event in the user control and have the form hook into it.  If you need custom event arguments, you can create those too.
In user control:
//Define your Custom Event argument
public class MyEventArgs : EventArgs
{
    //Define some fields of your custom event argument
    private int m_SomeValue = 0;

    //Define some properties of your custom event argument
    public int SomeValue
    {
        get { return m_SomeValue; }
        set { m_SomeValue = value; }
    }
}

//Define the event handler data type
public delegate void MyEventHandler(object sender, MyEventArgs e);

//Define the object which holds the outside event handlers
public event MyEventHandler SomeEvent;

//Define the function which will generate the event
public virtual void OnSomeEvent(MyEventArgs e)
{
    if (SomeEvent != null)
        SomeEvent(this, e);
}

.
. //Then later in the control
.
{
    //We need new data

    //Create the event arguments
    MyEventArgs newEvent = new MyEventArgs();

    //Set the values
    newEvent.SomeValue = 17;

    //Call the event generating function
    OnSomeEvent(newEvent);
}

In your form just use something like:
myControl.SomeEvent += new MyEventHandler(handlerName);

Since your event is public, you should see it in the Properties window of your control as well.
You can fancy up the event using Metadata attributes, but I leave it up to you to discover these.

A: Seems a bit vague to me, but:
Make it an event in the containing WinForm, so that every time some data is ready all the subscribers can be notified in a one-to-many model; or make it an event in the subscribed control, in a one-to-one model, in which it calls the container's method that retrieves such data?

A: It's dependent on when that data needs to be pushed to the UserControl. Are there events taking place on the Form that will drive the need to move data within the UserControl? If so...simply grab your instance at that point and push the data down to the UserControl via a public property.
If this is a case where events are not being used or the Form in some fashion or another "receives the data" then exposing an event on the Form such as...
public event DataHandler ReceivedData;

...and allow the UserControl or any other container to register for the event and receive the data via your custom event args. Pushing the event into the UserControl and forcing the Form to latch onto the UserControl seems backwards since the Form is the initiator of the data.
