FirstGroup - Digital transformation for FTSE 250 transport group
by Huw Waters
We have a long-standing relationship with the First Rail division of FirstGroup, supporting five UK rail franchises - Great Western Railway (GWR), Avanti West Coast, TransPennine Express (TPE), SouthWestern Railway (SWR), and Lumo.
When we first started working with FirstGroup, the online customer experience was fragmented, and legacy infrastructure was limited in its scope for growth and connectivity. Customers were frustrated – they struggled to get information about disruptions and found it difficult to book tickets online. The business was losing out on digital revenue as a result.
DCX has worked to help achieve FirstGroup's mission to improve the transportation services it provides across the UK. Working in partnership since 2013, we've set the agenda for digital change, and have delivered a programme of initiatives to re-invent the customer experience across channels, driving a significant increase in revenue and helping improve customer satisfaction.
We defined a 3–5-year digital strategy centred on improving the experience in three key areas:
- Buying tickets
- Offering advice during disruption
- Inspiring customers to explore regions by train
We created a roadmap of projects to deliver against this strategy, and established KPI frameworks and governance processes which informed how the business would manage and optimise its digital divisions over the next five years.
FirstGroup embraced the benefits of technology that can be used across multi-brands, investing in a digital experience platform and website architecture that has been replicated across many of its train operating companies in the UK.
We built FirstGroup's new websites on Sitecore, an industry-leading digital experience platform. This gave FirstGroup a flexible and scalable framework that shares a common code base and components, allowing individual train operating company websites to be unique and tailored towards their specific audiences.
Managing data & delivering personalised communications
We've worked with multiple FirstGroup brands to implement Salesforce Marketing Cloud. In recent implementations for Avanti West Coast and Lumo, we did this within just 2-months, undertaking a successful IP warm-up, achieving 99.1%+ reputation score, to enable FirstGroup to successfully deliver emails from the new platform from launch.
Beyond technical implementation, we worked to define use cases and identify priority communications, determining core CRM campaigns and programmes and their data dependencies.
Given our existing knowledge of FirstGroup's first party and partner data, we led the engagement with the suppliers of the Single Customer View to integrate the customer data sources with multiple supplementary data from partners. We built, hosted, and have continued to maintain the GWR Single Customer View for many years.
We have also:
- Worked closely and effectively with FirstGroup's other agency partners to develop, build, and deploy core customer communications, such as Welcome Campaigns, Nurture, Pre-Trip, and Post-Trip communications
- Developed a master, modular, mobile- optimised email template to simplify campaign builds and improve SLA's.
- Worked on solutions to deliver tailored and targeted offers that can be redeemed for food and beverages on-board
- Worked with FirstGroup's brands to drive incremental journeys and revenue through customer value management.
- Helped with training and portals to deploy simple promotional emails, newsletters, and self-serve disruption communications.
We continue to work with FirstGroup to deliver CRM managed services, and martech consultancy and enablement, including functionality such as Salesforce Mobile Studio, Social Studio, and Ad Studio, and strategic services.
Helping to drive loyalty
One of the FirstGroup's brands had a long-standing loyalty programme with Nectar, rewarding customers for their journeys with points that could be spent with a variety of retailers. The train operator wanted to evolve its programme to an 'owned' programme that incentivises direct bookings and rewards customers with relevant perks related to their travel.
We devised a new loyalty programme, rewarding customers for qualifying journeys with new and exciting benefits the more they travel, including perks such as lounge access, upgrades, and complimentary items that can be redeemed onboard.
We set up pages for registration, managing customer data, developing tiering logic, and fulfilling communications using Salesforce Marketing Cloud. Our solution made use of existing technology, enabling the new programme to be delivered quickly and efficiently.
Managing unplanned disruption
When we started working with FirstGroup, there was no solution to enable timely communication to inform customers of changes to services, delays, and cancellations, using digital channels.
To solve this, we created two new products.
The 'Timetable Comparator', which enables the train company to easily identify services that have alterations and cancellations and send advance communications to customers.
We worked with FirstGroup and partners to develop an integrated solution using logic developed in Salesforce Marketing Cloud to target customers affected by timetable changes with service communications.
Secondly, to help with the challenge of sending communications about 'unplanned disruption' which could have less than 24 hours notice, we developed a 'Disruption Portal' using Salesforce Marketing Cloud.
This solution uses defined targeting criteria and logic from multiple sources to enable the operator to select customers that will be disrupted. We developed simple modular templates and created a self-serve solution, training the FirstGroup CRM and Operations teams. This has helped FirstGroup send updates to clients within 30 minutes, bringing clear customer and operational benefits and efficiencies.
Putting data at the heart of performance and optimisation
From website tagging and tracking through the booking flows, using Google Analytics, to the use of out-of-the-box Salesforce reports for CRM reporting, and the implementation of Apteco FastStats and Orbit to power database health, CRM programme dashboards and Customer Analytics and Insights, we continue to work with FirstGroup to put data and intelligence at the heart of decision-making.
Our dashboard solutions mean key stakeholders have an always-on view of key performance metrics to make faster and informed business decisions.
With Sitecore as their digital experience platform, and by implementing the same frameworks and platform across multiple brands within the group, FirstGroup's train operating companies have made savings of over 40% versus a new-build solution starting from scratch each time. Making use of existing code and saving time through replication equates to a 50% increase in speed to market. And we delivered a 56% increase in online sales.
With a focus on helping to deliver a better passenger experience and a value exchange for providing customer data, such as relevant service communications, promotions, loyalty communications and inspiring content, we have helped each train company grow its contactable database. For example, we helped one brand scale its contactable base from zero to over 2 million.
DCX has consulted, advised, and provided solutions to manage preferences and made use of data to improve decision-making, inform customer insight, and enhance targeting and personalisation. This includes the use of ACORN profiling to understand demographics and deep-dives into changes in travel behaviour during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Our experience integrating reporting solutions with Salesforce Marketing Cloud has enabled FirstGroup to connect SAP BI and Tableau reporting, empowering client teams across the organisations to access the data that they need.
Our solutions have helped FirstGroup to improve the digital customer experience, and to use business and marketing intelligence to continuously deliver a high level of service to passengers, operational efficiencies, and to drive growth.

Feature Transformation -- SQLTransformer

    Source: R/ml_feature_sql_transformer.R, R/ml_feature_dplyr_transformer.R

sql-transformer.Rd

Implements the transformations which are defined by SQL statement. Currently we
  only support SQL syntax like 'SELECT ... FROM __THIS__ ...' where '__THIS__' represents
  the underlying table of the input dataset. The select clause specifies the
  fields, constants, and expressions to display in the output, it can be any
  select clause that Spark SQL supports. Users can also use Spark SQL built-in
  function and UDFs to operate on these selected columns.

ft_sql_transformer(
  x,
  statement = NULL,
  uid = random_string("sql_transformer_"),
  ...
)

ft_dplyr_transformer(x, tbl, uid = random_string("dplyr_transformer_"), ...)

Arguments

    <colgroup><col class="name" /><col class="desc" /></colgroup>

      x

A spark_connection, ml_pipeline, or a tbl_spark.

      statement

A SQL statement.

      uid

A character string used to uniquely identify the feature transformer.

      ...

Optional arguments; currently unused.

      tbl

A tbl_spark generated using dplyr transformations.

Value

The object returned depends on the class of x.

spark_connection: When x is a spark_connection, the function returns a ml_transformer,
  a ml_estimator, or one of their subclasses. The object contains a pointer to
  a Spark Transformer or Estimator object and can be used to compose
  Pipeline objects.

ml_pipeline: When x is a ml_pipeline, the function returns a ml_pipeline with
  the transformer or estimator appended to the pipeline.

tbl_spark: When x is a tbl_spark, a transformer is constructed then
  immediately applied to the input tbl_spark, returning a tbl_spark

Details

ft_dplyr_transformer() is mostly a wrapper around ft_sql_transformer() that
  takes a tbl_spark instead of a SQL statement. Internally, the ft_dplyr_transformer()
  extracts the dplyr transformations used to generate tbl as a SQL statement or a
  sampling operation. Note that only single-table dplyr verbs are supported and that the
  sdf_ family of functions are not.

Holi is marked as one of the biggest festivals in the country where the whole country celebrates in the joys of colors. Known to be as the Festival of colors, people from all religion, genders as well as castes celebrate this occasion together and mark the beginning of the spring season. There are a lot of facts and stories that revolve around the interesting stories of Holi. If you really wish to know all about the Story and unknown facts about the Hindu festival Holi, simply follow our post!
The occasion of Holi is celebrated in the full moon right after the month of Phalguna. The date though shifts due to the calendar date and time of the moon-rise. However, the month is still estimated between the month of February and March.
Holi originally comes from the word "Holika" and is a demonic sister of the King Hiranyakashipu. King Hiranyakashipu became increasingly powerful through his evil thoughts and asked his people to term him as God. Failure in doing so would lead to severe consequences.
Prahlad, the son of the evil King, was an avid follower and worshipper of Lord Vishnu. Because of his devotion, he was tried to be snubbed and killed several times but by his father and Holika several times. However, because of the same reason, every time they used to trick Prahlad, Lord Vishnu used to save him in different avatars.
The origin of Holi is just right from the death of the evil sister Holika. Just as Holika traps Prahladin order to kill him in a bonfire, an avatar of Lord Vishnu comes to save him. Holi is marked as a celebration of god from the hands of evil with the death of Holika. It is celebrated on the following day after Holika was burned in the bonfire.
It is another unsung story for the occasion of Holi when Krishna Meets Radha. According to the Bhagvat Gita, Lord Krishna's mother Yashodha went on to convince Krishna to meet Radha. It is said that Krishna used to complain to his mother about Radha's fair complex and this is when she advises him to apply color on her face and check if the complexion changes.
The occasion of Holi is celebrated throughout the country by all the people and the castes. However, such an occasion is celebrated in two different phases where people celebrate the day with colors and the evening with the help of bonfire. The Festival of colors is not only the occasion of colors but marks the end of evil spirits also.
There is another Story and unknown facts about the Hindu festival Holi. It was said that the evil Putana came up with a plan in order to kill Krishna. She poisoned Krishna with her breastfeeding. But, in turn of this, Putana as killed by her and it turned Krishna's body in Blue. This is also another reason behind the Krishna's Blue Color and the celebration of Holi. People paint themselves in different colors to mark this occasion.
Holi in Mathura comes about for more than two weeks where Krishna is born. In fact, it is the biggest celebration of Holi in India where people from the whole country is invited to join.
This is a very famous saying at the time of Holi that happens across the country. It is said that that most of the people apply color on other's face that can be very enjoyable. People from all over the country come up with saying "Bura na mano, Holi hai!" and apply color on each other's face.
Gujiya is a special delicacy where the stuffing consists of dry fruits and also other sweet dishes. It is a very popular sweet across the country and most of the people share it with love in their mouth. The sweet tastes very delicious and everyone must have at least one Gujiya on this day!
There is never a saying that Holi is simply a celebration of the Hindu. In fact, people from all castes, religions, genres, and ages celebrate this auspicious occasion together and all over the country. It is considered to be one of the National Festivals in the country where so many people love to be a part of it at the same time. Gradually from the Hindus, the Holi tradition is followed now on different parts of the world in many forms.
Bhang is another aspect which attracts the adults in Holi. Many people all over the world to consider the consumption of Bhang mixed with milk or any other drink. The ingredient is mixed into the drink so that people can enjoy it to the fullest. However, Bhang is actually prepared from Cannabis leaves and is often consumed by people. One should only consume a limit of Bhang.
According to the rich history of Indian culture, there are many castes which are often termed as Untouchables or rather people of higher castes would not rather touch such persons. However, on the occasion of Holi, everyone removes such thoughts and greets all the castes with the various colors in Holi.
The Story and unknown facts about the Hindu festival Holi are indeed auspicious for one to love the most and also to mark it as a beautiful event. The occasion of Holi is thus celebrated everywhere and also in different parts of the world.

Crime & Court
Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Filed Against Former Eau Claire County District Attorney
Suit alleges Gary King violated civil rights of woman who worked in county Victim Witness Office.
Rich Kremer | Wisconsin Public Radio
Monday, January 10, 2022 | Updated Jan 10, 2022 11:15 am CST
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. -- (WPR) -- A federal lawsuit has been filed against former Eau Claire County District Attorney Gary King, alleging he sexually harassed a woman he supervised.
The lawsuit alleges King violated the employee's rights to equal protection. It seeks unspecified compensatory damages for permanent emotional harm.
The suit was filed by Jessica Bryan, who worked closely with King as a victim witness coordinator for Eau Claire County. King resigned as district attorney in August 2021 following a county-led sexual harassment investigation.
Related: Man Charged With Sexually Assaulting Woman At Shopping Mall
Bryan's lawsuit alleges King made numerous sexually harassing comments between August 2019 and November 2020. Those included instances where King suggested the two get a hotel room on the way to a breakfast meeting and have a "threesome" with a man who lived behind the county courthouse, according to the suit and the county's investigation. There were also occasions, according to the suit and investigation, where King pulled Bryan onto his lap, rubbed her foot when she had taken off her shoes and hugged her from behind while she sat at her desk while attempting to kiss her on her mouth.
Bryan's suit also alleges King was "frequently intoxicated while engaging in his abusive conduct."
Paul Kinne, an attorney for Gingras, Thomsen & Wachs who is representing Bryan in the suit, said his client was entitled to work in an environment free of sexual harassment and assault and that she felt she was obligated to tolerate the harassment because of concern "about what it would do to her job if she complained about it more vociferously."
"In other words, she hoped that by telling him to stop and showing him how much it hurt her, he would stop," said Kinne. "But he didn't."
Bryan's lawsuit also states that in February 2021, when she made a formal complaint to Eau Claire County human resources, she was told by the county's corporation counsel that because King was the district attorney, the county "could not touch him."
Kinne said Bryan wants justice for herself, but she also hopes to be an example for other women who endure harassment for fear of what might happen to their jobs or careers.
"She hopes that by going forward with this action, she will make it easier for women in her situation to step forward and also make it less likely that people like Mr. King will engage in the kind of conduct that we saw here." said Kinne.
King didn't respond to calls seeking comment on the lawsuit.

Dong Van Karst Plateau Geopark has been recognised as a member of the Global Network of National Geoparks (GGN) in October 2010. It covers the entirety of the four mountainous districts of Quan Ba, Yen Minh, Meo Vac, and Dong Van in the northern province of Ha Giang. Located on an altitude of 1,000m-1,600m above sea level, the 2356 km2 Dong Van Karst Plateau is one of Vietnam's special limestone areas, housing prominent imprints that depict the development of the earth's crust and natural phenomenon. It boasts striking scenery, a high biodiversity and special cultural values of the local ethnic minority groups.
Thanks to weather changes and geo-diversi-ty, the karst evolution has created "rock gar-dens" and "rock forests" of diverse forms in the area, such as the Khau Vai and Lung Pu rock gardens in Meo Vac, the Van Chai rock garden in Dong Van... A system of caves and grottoes found in the Dong Van Plateau provides a proof of the evolution of karst with Rong Cave in Sang Tung and En Grotto in Van Chai (Dong Van), and Kho My Cave in Tung Vai (Quan Ba) worth seeing. The scientists have evaluated the Dong Van Plateau as having a unique and diverse mountainous geo-ecosystem. Primitive forests here have been rather undamaged, habiting many rare floral species, including 40 species of orchids, especially slipper orchid. Here also has a rich £ diversity of habitat for fauna as 50 species of rare wild animals, birds and reptiles.
The Dong Van Karst Plateau also reflects tra-z ditional cultural richness of minority inhabi-tants, including the Mong, Dao, Lo Lo, Pu Peo... The Pho Bang, Dong Van, Lung Cu, Sa - Phin markets coupled with time-honoured ethnic festivals, rituals, customs and culture of local inhabitants weight the plateau's unique charm.
When visiting the Dong Van Plateau in the spring, you are hit by wonderful landscapes. The season covers rugged rocks and mountain peaks with its bright colours.
From Ha Giang City, visitors travel on National Highway 4C for 43 km to Quan Ba. The trip will continue on that highway through Can Ty Pass, pine forests, steep drops, deep ravines, and razor sharp turns, to bring visitors to Yen Minh, Dong Van and Meo Vac to explore the karst plateau.
Lung Cu, a commune of Dong Van District is a northern most point of Viet Nam, 20km from Dong Van Small Town, and 170km from Ha Giang City. The flag tower is built on top of 300-m high Rong (Dragon) Mountain, 1,600m above the sea level.
At the foot of the mountain, there are two semicircular lakes. It is said that they were eyes of dragon. These lakes are always full of water even in the dry season. The flag tower shows the affirmation of position and sovereignty of Viet Nam as well as honour the patriotism and bravery of the people and soldiers in the border area. The new tower has been rebuilt at larger scale on the place of the old one and inaugurated on September 25, 2010. The flag on the tower has an area of 54m2, symbolising the unity of 54 ethnic groups in Viet Nam. The 29.5m-high flag tower is hollow and has staircase to the top tower.
The car may bring visitors to a half of the slope mountain. From the parking, concreted-steps allow visitors to the top of mountain.
Vuong's Villa (Vuong Chi Sinh) is an interesting tourist site, 14km from the town of Dong Van District, in the locality of Sa Phin Commune. It is not large, but its original architectural is unique in the highlands. The road sloping in front of the villa is paved with big, smooth, square stones and the villa is surrounded by two walls built from carved stones.
The outer wall is 60cm thick and 2m high. The inner wall is even thicker and more robust. In between the walls, there is a 50m-wide expanse of land planted with oleanders.
The villa includes 10 houses, 6 of them face the same direction, and the remains face the other directions. The main house, the largest, looks out to the entrance. The other two face each other, making right angles with the main house. Every pillar, floor, and wattle of these three houses are built of po-mu, a valuable wood. In the main house, which was the house where the Vuong leader lived, there is a hanging horizontal tablet engraved with the four words bien chinh kha phong (remarks of great honour for contribution in the war), which was presented by the Nguyen Kings. The other two houses were used for servants and guardsmen.
From the pass of "Quan Ba Heaven Gate", go toward Tam Son Small Town in Quan Ba District, travellers will admire at the natural masterpiece that is the Twin Mountain which lies in the middle of a green field, amidst the valley. The form of Twin Mountain may give us the imagination of a beautiful girl's body. The best place for travellers to take picture or record imagines is to stand at a mountain slope, 1km from Tam Son. No ones can ignore this magnificent picturesque mountain.
Once a year, on the 27th day of the3rdlunar month, the love market is held in Khau Vai Commune, Meo Vac District.
A local myth tells the story of a young couple from different tribes who fell in love with each other. The girl was so beautiful that her tribe did not want to let her get married to a man from another tribe. Consequently, violent conflict arose between the two tribes. One day, the boy witnessed an aggressive fight between the tribes as a result of their love. To stop blood from being spilt, the lovers sorrowfully decided to say goodbye. However, they made plans to meet once a year on that day. The place where they used to meet is Khau Vai. After time, Khau Vai, thereafter became a meeting place for all of those in love.
The Love Market used to involve no sellers or buyers at the beginning. All those who came here came to pursue their missing love. If by chance they met an "old flame", they would spend time talking intimately. If they did not, they would make friends with a stranger of any age. They brought ready-made foods, like loaves of sticky rice, manioc, and pieces of cake, which they would share with their lovers.
This was an enjoyable time for all. People from remote areas would come to Khau Vai on the day before the market, so that the next morning they could be already there. Having waited for this moment for a full year, everybody went eagerly to the market. Early in the morning, whether they were old or new comers, they would hurriedly look for their friend. If they found them, they would talk endlessly; if not, they would wait, becoming increasingly anxious and expectant. In the afternoon, all the lovers were sad because it was time to say goodbye. Some couples would get married over the year, while others would plan to meet at the same time the following year.
For the past ten years, as there is an increasing demand to make a living, people bring goods to sell at the market. Thus, you can go to Khau Vai to trade two kinds of specialities: goods and feelings.
Even today, Khau Vai Love Market echoes back to the past, as it carries on the tradition set by its mythical love story.
Nam Dan ancient rock field is located at the height of 1,350m above sea level in the middle of a valley surrounded with terraced fields and milpa of Nung ethnic people in Nam Dan Village, Nam Dan Commune, about 15km south of the Xin Man District's centre.
Nam Dan ancient rock field is filled with rocks of odd shapes and sizes thought to have been inscribed by an ancient ethnic civilization. The first rock found in the area is called Cu Thach. The large, elliptical-shaped rock tilts precariously on an angle, supported by two smaller rocks underneath it. It is said that Cu Thach resembles an altar, so locals have even placed an incense burner below it to complete the look.
Archaeologists said the patterns on the rocks in Nam Dan are more than 1,000 years old and have temporarily divided patterns on the rocks there into seven groups: geometrical (circle, square, rectangle), square and circle-shaped patterns, parallel lines, symbols of genitalia, human feet, human figures and undetermined patterns. Nam Dan is valuable for research because the site has not been touched by humans yet.
Hoang Su Phi is a district in the western of Ha Giang Province, at the foot of imposing Tay Con Linh Mountain. With its terraced fields, Hoang Su Phi displays its charming beauty as a paradise dimly looms in the clouds.
The terraced fields are the fine results of the locals' hard work and creativity. The view of terraced fields is particularly breathtaking in harvest time with glittering layers of golden rice on mountain after mountain. Later September and October is the best time to visit and to witness the beauty of harvest time when all the terraced paddy-fields running along the road 177 from Vinh Quang Town of Hoang Su Phi to Viet Quang Town near 30km, turn yellow with ripening rice..
Tien Cave is about 2km from Ha Giang Town. Inside is the very beautiful Tien Stream.
Legend has it that fairies used to come to this cave to have a bath during Tet holidays; thus, it was named Dong Tien (Fairy Cave). People from surrounding areas often come to Tien Cave to get water for washing and praying. Ha Giang Province has the intention of developing a tourist project there and to build a cultural village.
This festival of the H'Mong and Dao ethnic groups is usually held for three to five days following Tet. The achievements of the past year are celebrated and there are prayers for good weather for the upcoming year. Several activities and festivities take place, such as shooting arrows, singing about love between young men and women, throwing pa pao, drinking local alcohol.
The New House Celebration is held by the Lo Lo people for two days and two nights when a new house is built. All of the villagers enjoy the party to celebrate the new house. Flutes and pan-pipes are played and young boys and girls sing love songs to each other. The holy man, who is followed by the party, sings a song while walking.
Nhay Lua Festival is a unique festival of Pa Then Ethic Group. The festival annually organizes at the end of the twelfth lunar month after harvesting. It is also the coldest time fall on the mountainous districts in Ha Giang. At first, the sorcerer practices the rituals of reporting to the heaven about the crop, blessing for the villagers' prosperous life and bumper crop. The sorcerer also has ritual of "Nhap hon" as praying deity for villagers having natural superior health such as isn't to be in hurt when they jump in the burning charcoal.

HE served his country and his local community for most of his life.
So it was very fitting that the union flag was draped over the coffin of former Havant mayor David Farrow.
In a touching gesture, his beret and medals from his time in the Royal Marines were placed on top of the coffin.
More than 150 people turned out for the civic funeral of the Purbrook councillor at St Faith's Church in Havant.
As reported in The News, Conservative Cllr Farrow, of Tanners Ridge, Purbrook, died on Boxing Day of heart failure following a short battle with cancer. He was 76.
Attending his funeral were fellow councillors, Honorary Aldermen, the chief executive of Havant Borough Council, Sandy Hopkins, and the current Mayor, Cllr Ken Smith.
Canon Peter Jones spoke of the union flag and the medals being 'powerful symbols' of 'courage, commitment and loyalty'.
He said the flowers on the coffin were also symbols of the love he shared for wife Hilary, a serving councillor for Purbrook, and his large family of two children, five grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.
Olwyn Kennedy, a councillor for Stakes ward, paid tribute to an 'outspoken, robust, forceful and caring' man with a 'wicked sense of humour'.
She said: 'He was never afraid to speak out when he felt things were not quite right, often ruffling quite a few feathers in the process.
'So many here will have known a different David to the one I and his fellow councillors knew, but I am sure we all know that David was a much-loved and loving husband to Hilary.
The service heard how Mr Farrow joined the Royal Marines in 1952, seeing action in Cyprus, Malaysia, Suez and Singapore.
He attained the rank of Colour Sergeant and after leaving the Marines in 1975, he worked for the MoD at Bordon, becoming their chief driving instructor.
He was first elected as a councillor in 1995 and served continuously for 16 years.
He became Mayor of Havant in 1999, taking the borough into the new millennium.
During his mayoral year he was instrumental in setting up Flash, Family Liaison Austistic Support Havant, a group which has helped scores of local families.
He and his wife worked tirelessly to make the Phoenix Community Centre in Crookhorn a success.
Bugler John Sumner played the Last Post as people said a last farewell.
The family later gathered at Portchester Crematorium for a private committal service.
A floral tribute carried with the coffin read 'God bless'.


In ages past, Odyn led the titan-forged armies against the Black Empire of the Old Gods. But for millennia he has been confined to the Halls of Valor by the curse of his bitter nemesis, Helya. Odyn seeks mortal champions to vanquish the ruler of Helheim and secure his freedom.

Windsor Windows frame gracious vistas for 2010 Southern Living Louisiana Idea Home
Tue, Jul 6, 2010
Pinnacle wood windows chosen for showcase home to be featured in print and summer public tours
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa – Windsor Windows will provide gracious views for the 2010 Louisiana Southern Living Idea House now being built in the booming North Shore area outside New Orleans.
Windsor was selected as window supplier for the popular project, one of two 2010 Idea Houses to be featured in the August issue of lifestyle and entertaining magazine Southern Living. Local luxury homebuilder Miller Building Co. Inc. is racing to complete the house in time for publication photography and the June 12 start of public tours. Through Sept. 12, organizers expect up to 30,000 tourists from all over the United States to visit the Louisiana Idea House for design tips and decorating ideas to express the warmth and casual elegance of the Southern lifestyle.
The Louisiana project is located in TerraBella Village, a Traditional Neighborhood Development in Covington, St. Tammany Parish. Traditional Neighborhoods are motivated by a New Urbanist philosophy that mixes homes, parks and services so all daily needs are within a convenient walk. Half of TerraBella is wetland preserve, so these Windsor Windows will frame spectacular views from this showcase home.
Bayou Bend, as the Idea House project has been dubbed, is a unique "gumbo" of Creole and Craftsman style. The house was designed by Michael A. Piazza of Piazza Architecture Planning an award-winning firm in Mandeville, La., known for integrating historical details with modernist expression and contemporary lines. Its quaint design is inspired by turn-of-the-century coastal cottages found in small towns throughout this part of Louisiana.
Windsor Windows help define Bayou Bend's Classical style with formal placement on the façade of the two-story home. Pinnacle Series Tan Clad Double Hung windows with 7/8-inch simulated divided lite grilles are evenly positioned on the cottage front. To the rear, more than a dozen smaller Windsor Windows look out over a detached two-car garage with a carriage house-style living space and tall Southern pines.
The family-owned Miller Building Co. in Metairie, La., selected Windsor Windows as the window supplier for their local Idea House construction. "Miller Building's reputation around New Orleans for a high level of craftsmanship made it an honor to align with them on this project," said Mike Crook, Windsor Windows regional sales manager in Monroe, N.C.
Bayou Bend's upcoming three-month run as a tourist attraction adds to its status as an important showcase for Windsor products, Crook added. "Some Southern Living readers say no summer would be complete without a visit to the magazine's Idea Houses," he said. "This program brings the magazine pages to life. Tours give people an up-close look at how Windsor Windows provides architectural style, low maintenance and energy efficiency for today's active lifestyle."
A dedicated Web site for the Idea House with photos of Bayou Bend is updated regularly at: www.southernliving.com/ideahouse. Tickets for this summer's public tours cost $5 and are available in advance at www.jlgc.net, the Web site of the Junior League of Greater Covington, which will benefit from a portion of the proceeds on behalf of its signature project, The Children's Museum of St. Tammany.

MYRA LEWIS
MADISON COUNTY, MS (Mississippi News Now) -
We are being told that the missing Madison County toddler case is now being treated as an abduction.
On Sunday evening the Mississippi Highway Patrol issued an Amber Alert for two-year-old Myra Lewis of Camden.
Multiple agencies were searching for the missing 2-year-old, who was last seen Saturday morning.
Metro One was also assisting in the search for the missing toddler on Sunday.
The search was called off Monday after the case classification changed.
Madison County Sheriff Randy Tucker met with members of the FBI Monday.
Myra Lewis was last seen at her parents' home on Mount Pilgrim Road in Camden Saturday morning.
"Parents stated they last saw the two year old around 10 am yesterday (Saturday) morning there were several kids there. The father was watching an infant child inside the other children went outside to play and the two year old wandered off," said Sheriff Randy Tucker, Madison County Sheriff's Office. "We've searched approximately four square miles around this residence and unfortunately have not been able to locate Myra."
Sunday morning emergency crews continue to look for her in a rural area along Mount Pilgrim Road, where the family lives.
Madison County Sheriff Randy Tucker said the toddler went missing around 10 a.m. Saturday, but his office didn't receive a phone call until 4 o'clock Saturday afternoon.
That's when several police agencies volunteers, and rescue crews started their search. Even local volunteers pitched in.
"I thought about my baby and it could have been my baby and it's so sad she only 2 years old and it just deepens my heart because it could have been my child he's 2," said Cassandra Bacon, a local volunteer.
The family was too devastated to go on camera Sunday night, but Myra's mother did talk to us over the phone.
"I was leaving to go grocery shopping and I saw her walk back into the house with her sister," said Ericka Lewis, mother of the toddler.
Lewis said the child's father was inside the house.
Lewis described the toddler as 34" tall and weighs about 25 pounds.
Lewis said the little girl was last seen wearing a turquoise sweater with a black bear on the front and khaki pants with pink shiny shoes (tennis) with glitter on them.
Lewis said sometimes little Myra sucks her thumb upside down.
"We've got approximately 70 individuals in the woods here right now like I said we had about 250 last night so we've had the average Joe citizen, men, women and children come out. Anytime there's an infant involved especially one of this age you kind of pull at the heart strings of the community so we got the help," said Sheriff Tucker.
"We just want her back home. We won't worry about pressing charges, we just want her back home safe," said Lewis.
If you have any information on Myra's whereabouts, please call 855-642-5378.

What are Sole Source Contracts?
by Ramiro Delgado | Feb 14, 2019 | Resource
Sole Source Contracts are non-competitive procurements that allow a single supplier to fulfill the needs of the contractual requirements. Though Full and Open Competition is preferred in federal acquisitions, the use of a sole source can be highly valuable when specific circumstances are met. Sole-Source acquisitions are detailed in the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) parts 6 and 13; aspects of the sole-source award process include an exigent need, limited source of supply or service, brand-name justification, and/or competition is determined inadequate. In most cases, Sole Sourcing is the result of competitive proposals being not applicable to the contract requirements.
How Are Sole Sources are Awarded?
Sole source awards can be made to vendors when one or more of three criteria are met.
The item/service is available only from one source (Brand Name Justification).
The public exigency or emergency for the requirement will not permit a delay resulting from competitive solicitation.
Competition is determined inadequate after solicitation of a number of sources.
Justification an Approval (J&A)
Sole source awards require contracting officer to complete written justifications for approval when considering a sole source contract. It is important for vendors to arm contracting officers with the information that need to help to make this justification. The requester will provide circumstances for approval with applicable supportive information. These criteria include:
Description of the project and amount to be designated for the contract
Explanation of necessity to contract from one source:
Descriptions of unique aspects in which eliminates competition. Such as unique capability, expertise, facilities or equipment that no other source can provided.
Verifying that such aspects are indeed only available through the one source.
If this is an urgent timing matter, such as emergencies that will have a significant effect, please provide the descriptions of deadlines, impacts of deadlines and the need for the timely contract.
If there are competitors, explanation of how long they would take to complete the same task
Results of a Market survey determining the inadequate competition
Declaration that this sole source procurement is in the best interest of the agency.
Sole Source Thresholds
Here are a few tips to remember when purchasing lobbying for a sole source. Every purchase that goes over the Micro-Purchase Threshold of $10,000 (or $3,500 for DOD), a justification will be required, unless the purchase is from an existing contract, the supplier is named in the opportunity or the purchase is being competitively solicited. The only exception for justification is consulting services.
When above the micro-purchase threshold, agencies have the authority to award Sole Source contract noncompetitive proposals but must meet extensive criteria for justification and approval. Sole Source justification must meet the following circumstances:
Written justification must be provided and approved specified in FAR based on value of acquisitions
Above the micro-purchase threshold, but below the simplified acquisitions threshold – contracting officer certification that acquisition is accurate and complete
Above the simplified Acquisition Threshold, but below $700,000 — contracting officer certification that acquisition is accurate and complete
Above $700,000, but not exceeding $13.5 million – the advocate for competition for the for the procurement activity or designated officer (see FAR 6.305) approval is required
Above $13.5 million, but below $68 million – head of the procuring activity of designated official (see FAR 6.305) approval is required
Above $68 million — by the senior procurement executive of the agency in accordance with agency procedure
Make the justification publicly available within 14 days after contract award, unless it is an unusual and compelling urgency, then 30 days after award
Sole Sourcing Denial
There will be situations where the Sole Source contract will not be accepted. This happens when there is more than one bidder or offeror for the one proprietary item, when an agency prefers a specific name branded product or at times, those aspect's uniqueness alone will not be enough to be determined as a sole provider. In addition, the justifications can also result in disapproval if it is used to select a preferred vendor. This will lead to auditors digging for details to suggest a possibility of favoritism, partiality or other bias.
The benefits to a vendor are multiple, but you should understand the benefits to agencies as well to help negotiate the need for a sole source. Aside from a quicker acquisition process, other benefits include an efficiency increase on the administrative side with lowered production costs, fewer contracts to negotiate and, ideally, a better value for the prices. Product quality should improve as the delivery process will be more effective. Because of the short span from delivery to use, there may be quicker discoveries of any defective items. There will also be an opportunity to build a partnership with the supplier which could be very beneficial long term.

Lithuania's Cyber security center recommends against using Yandex.Taxi app
Yandex.taxi driver during promotional launch of the app in Vilnius
Lithuania's National Cyber Security Center on Monday warned against using the Yandex.Taxi ride-sharing app.
The need of the Russian-owned ride-sharing service provider's app for information from a user's mobile device "potentially creates conditions for unlawful collection and storage of personal data, causing concern regarding their security", the ministry said in a press release.
"The NCSC under the Ministry of National Defense is carrying out a comprehensive security analysis of the Yandex.Taxi app. Until specific facts on the app's security are not identified, the NCSC recommends against installing it onto your devices," it said.
"It is especially important that this app is not used in devices of Lithuanian civil servants and officials and national defense system employees".
The ministry emphasized that the Yandex.Taxi app requests access to a large amount of sensitive information and permission to use such functions of a user's device as activating its camera or microphone or managing its wireless network access.
Vilnius mayor turns to competition watchdog over Yandex.Taxi
Lithuania to set up regional cyber security center in Kaunas with US
Based on the terms of use of the app, data from a user's device are stored on the servers of the organization, which is headquartered in Russia, and may be provided to public bodies, regulatory authorities, courts and other third parties, the ministry said.
Lithuania's intelligence bodies said in their National Threat Assessment 2018 report that Russia's intelligence and security services (RISS) "are legally authorized and technically capable to gain access to the data of Russian and foreign citizens who use Russian social network platforms".
"The communication and IT service providers in Russia are obliged to store and submit to respective institutions data about Russian citizens which is stored in servers on the Russian territory", they said.
"The threat of personal data leakage to RISS is relevant to all individuals including foreign citizens who use Russian social networks and email services, such as odnoklasniki, mail.ru, yandex etc."
Vilnius Mayor Remigijus Šimašius and MP Audronius Ažubalis last week asked the State Security Department for information on whether Yandex.Taxi's activities in Lithuania do not pose a threat to Lithuania's national security.
The Yandex.Taxi app was launched in Vilnius last Thursday. The company's representatives say it has 300 cars in the Lithuanian capital.
Yandex.Taxi says that it is an international company registered in Amsterdam, although its IT specialists are based in Moscow.

Authors: Andrew Nuth
Fishbone filled up a little more than half of the Aggie Theater, 204 S. College Ave., Monday night and there was more than enough energy in the hall for a sold-out show. Fishbone has been playing concerts and clubs since 1979 put their first record out in the mid-80s.
The band has a spirited mix of metal, funk, jazz and high-speed ska that has given it a large following, but never mainstream recognition.
The night started out slowly, the energy climbing most of the time. P-Nuckle played its punk-infused ska first, to a small but steadily growing crowd. Soon The Expendables took the stage, and played an hour worth of their reggae metal. The Expendables impressed and confused the crowd, at times sounding like 311 and then moving into '80s metal guitar rock segments.
At last, at 11 p.m. Angelo Moore of Fishbone walked on stage and began reciting a poem featuring Nate Procrasto, the man who was always late, and his encounter with Tina On-Time. During the approximately 10-minute poem the members of the band slowly came onto the stage and added music, until a full-fledged song began.
Soon Fishbone had everyone moving to the song "Party at Ground Zero", and continued to keep the audience on its toes and excited about the show for the next few hours. A song about face planting while snowboarding was a hit with the crowd, as was "Ma and Pa," a Fishbone classic.
Seeing Fishbone perform is something that every live-music lover should do. The show was energetic, with the band and audience members alike dancing the entire time. The members of Fishbone are wonderful musicians and amazing performers, the band's electric personalities made the music only a part of the show. Watching Moore perform is worthy of a concert in itself. Not only are his vocal and saxophone skills amazing, his dancing inspired the crowd, keeping the energy level of the Aggie high.
Some of the band members have changed since they first came out, but all of the energy and excitement is still in their music. Seeing them in person may convince you that Fishbone only gets better with age. Fishbone continues to wow crowds, bringing back the days of Funk in their eclectic, metal filled way, and putting on star worth performances.


Mainly we all know a city as a grand space full of relativities between people, services, buildings, roads and more on high scales like culture, social life, and security. The question is, how we can cover all demands and what are the backgrounds of them which could be set as responses to space so we can call it a city? In fact, there are lots of studies about these connections from demanding spots we could call as spaces with special function, to people who are living in a city. There is another role part in this back and forth connection and it's how designers or urban planner want to connect people to what they need from different spaces and services? This is the path Information Technology can be used as a game changer in. We can name lots of issues in a city. Basically, it could be a complexity of connections and if we want to have everything work in a great level of performance, we need to define a series of processes to handle causes and effects through it. IT could possibly be used to help us here. It only needs to be based on those series which are presenting the complexity in different issues and also it has to be set from data to functions. As we know, we can have a large number of datasets from different dimensions all related to those demands and services make a city, a city. This is where exactly programming algorithms can come up to define the processes mentioned above.
These kind of ideas are open to join. We welcome researches related to smart city ideas. Ardaena is a place to get developed by sharing skills so we are ready to support people by our teamwork style.

New Jersey Lawmaker Suggests Casinos for State's Poorest Cities
Posted on: February 13, 2014, 05:30h.
Last updated on: February 13, 2014, 09:14h.
A stark look at Camden, New Jersey shows a city riddled with poverty and crime, but one state senator wants to put a casino there (Image: Kevin C. Downs)
What's so special about Atlantic City? That's been a question on the minds of New Jersey lawmakers for a while, as proposals for expanding casino gambling away from the seaside resort town have been floated around for years. Most of those proposals have centered on building at the Meadowlands in East Rutherford (where this year's Super Bowl took place), but now one legislator is suggesting the idea of putting casinos in New Jersey's poorest cities as a way to promote economic growth where it is most needed.
Senator Proposes Casinos Throughout State
The concept – proposed by New Jersey State Senate president Steve Sweeney – would be to place casinos in struggling cities like Camden, Newark and Jersey City, rather than at a racetrack. Sweeney says that each of those cities would benefit from having a casino.
In particular, Camden may be a city that could be revived with an influx of casino dollars, according to Sweeney. Camden is now one of the poorest cities in the United States, struggling severely from the urban decay that has afflicted many post-industrial cities in the Northeast.
According to the 2012 American Community Survey, 38.6 percent of Camden's families live below the poverty line, putting it far ahead of any other New Jersey city. This is particularly stark when you consider that New Jersey is one of the richest states in the U.S. overall, with just 7.4 percent of families sitting below the poverty line, and average household incomes reaching $71,000: the third-highest figure in the country.
Crime and Drugs
Such a concentration of poverty has also led to high levels of crime and violence. The FBI calls Camden the most dangerous city in America, though the city saw violent crime as a whole and homicides in particular drop significantly in 2013. Still, an FBI metric known as the "crime index" places Camden above notoriously dangerous cities such as Detroit and Oakland, and it's also known as a hotbed for illegal drug trafficking.
However, any move to place casinos in Camden – or anywhere else in the state, outside of Atlantic City – will have to wait. When Governor Chris Christie took steps to revitalize tourism and gaming in Atlantic City, he promised they'd have at least five years before the state would even consider gambling anywhere else there. That period began in early 2011, meaning there's no chance of building outside of the resort city until 2016 at the earliest.
But for Sweeney, that protection is a timeline, rather than a complication.
"The day he signed the bill, all we heard was we have to move gaming outside Atlantic City," Sweeney said.
Sweeney also had plenty to say about the current struggles of the gaming industry in Atlantic City. He fears that the timeline for building outside of the city may have hurt potential investment there, as investors may be waiting for a look at what possibilities emerge elsewhere in the state. He also says the state needs to better explain the progress the city is making.
"We need to be touting the progress, about how much nicer it is," the senator said. He also pointed out that while gambling revenues have dropped in the city, revenues from clubs and restaurants are up.
"Those tax dollars count too," said Sweeney.
However, even those non-gambling taxes have fallen slightly over the past year, leaving some to wonder if gambling and resort expansion into the rest of the state is well or ill-advised.

Community Technology Literacy & You
Clases de Tecnología
Technology Classes (English)
Course Objectives & Grading
Resources & Files
EDUC 401 B
In this seminar, we will be addressing community informatics issues around literacy and digital access. The class will be project-based and explore concerns such as how to promote digital literacy and early literacy. It will investigate themes around access to information and technology in partnership with Casa Latina, a local non-profit. Topics and potential projects would engage students in multiple phases of a large-scale community project centered on literacy and inclusion, grant administration and reporting, and curriculum development and implementation for adults, children and families.
If:
"the broad aim of participatory development is to increase the involvement of socially and economically marginalized peoples in decision-making over their own lives" (Gujit 1998 as cited in Cooke & Kothari, 2001)
how to make the women partners (and the central focus) of the technology match grant?
The visual framework below is a depiction of the readings in the areas of popular education, community informatics, and service learning that we are using to position the values of our processes for this course and project. In the center we emphasize communication, critical thinking andtechnology as tools NOT solutions, to ground us as we move forward. In our practice and in our readings, we will continually refer back to this theoretical mapping of the frameworks to align our work and learning.
According to Wikipedia, FemTechNet is "an activated network of scholars, artists and students who work on, with, and at the borders of technology, science and feminism in a variety of fields including STS, Media and Visual Studies, Art, Women's, Queer and Ethnic Studies."
Your facilitator/instructor identifies and is part of the collective and invites you to become familiar with the (Fem)Manifesto as our shared guiding principles which serve as a starting place for our learning on both the university and community sides with an understanding of the complexities that are involved when universities partner and work in and with communities.
Our shared understanding
Learning is bidirectional –students and community members are learners.
We are working together to develop critical consciousness, democratic citizenship, and social justice.
We are building capacities to think critically about identity, representation, policies and systems, with particular attention to race, class and gender and other socially devalued identities.
Specific Skills Outcomes
Information Literacy and research skills
Critical and contextual reading skills
Synchronous & Asynchronous communication skills
Cross Cultural Approaches to Information Needs
Develop and build skills presenting and responding in and among diverse audiences.
This is a CREDIT/NO CREDIT seminar. For CREDIT, all of the following expectations must be met:
Attend all seminars and contribute to group discussion and activities.
Be present when you say you will be and communicate within group and with the larger teams.
This is a collaborative participatory action project – be bold, take the lead, let's work together.
Maintain consistent contact and provide support with Technology Match Grant, which may include collaborating with students in the LIS570 course and working together to get them involved.
Be prepared to discuss assigned readings in seminar.
Have an open mind to new material, readings, curriculum and others' ideas.
Contact Klarissa or Ivette about any issues, absences, etc. (Ideally - two missed classes is the maximum permitted during the quarter remember that there are weeks we will not be meeting as a class).
