We've been looking at a report from Econsultancy, a community for digital marketing and ecommerce professionals, which shows how organisations are measuring the lifetime value of a customer (CLV). Interestingly, the report found that 64% of companies cite customer experience as the best tactic for improving CLV.
We thought we'd share some of the ways that Econsultancy recommend companies provide a better customer experience and increase CLV as a result.
Acquisition vs retention
We know it's cheaper to retain existing customers than acquire new ones. However, despite the fact that the probability of selling to an existing customer is 60-70% compared to 5-20% with a new prospect, 44% of respondent organisations are still focusing the lion's share of their marketing budget on acquisition.
So let's look at how organisations can make the most out of refocusing their efforts to retention tactics.
1. Personalisation
According to the Econsultancy Realities of Online Personalisation Report, 94% of businesses believe that personalisation 'is critical to current and future success'.
Amazon is a great example of a company that's fully embraced personalisation. No two people are likely to see the same version of the home page when they log in as the products shown are tailored to previous purchases or searches.
Smaller organisations can use simple personalisation techniques in their marketing without making a huge initial investment. Segmenting your email data list by preference is a great place to start and will enable you to tailor your communications to your different customer groups.
2. Don't charge for returns
Hefty return fees for ecommerce organisations can put customers off if they've had to send something back. Online shoe retailer Zappos found that people who regularly returned items were some of their best customers over time as they purchased multiple options of the same, high price products.
Identifying how your organisation can absorb a cost, or go the extra mile, for your customers can pay dividends when it comes to retaining their business.
3. Stick to your word
If you're an ecommerce business, you'll understand the importance of giving precise delivery times and sticking to them. Wasting a customer's time, or failing to meet the expectations you set is are fast ways of reducing the likelihood you'll win repeat business. Good communication is essential to retention based marketing activities as we all want to be kept informed, irrespective of the type of business you're in. If you can surpass customer expectations on a regular basis, you will not only win repeat business, but also attract new customers through word of mouth.
4. Reward loyalty
Offering loyal customers some kind of reward or exclusive offer is an extremely powerful way to strengthen affinity with your organisation. This doesn't need to be a big grand gesture. It could be something as simple as responding to a tweet from a customer talking about your product or service, or simply sending them an offer exclusive to them.
5. Excellent customer service
A study by Zendesk found that consumers rank quality (88%) and customer service (72%) as the two biggest drivers of loyalty. In a bid to reduce costs, many companies make it difficult for customers to actually speak to someone on the phone.
Email or a contact form are often not the preferred option and limiting the channels through which your customers can contact you can actually be damaging.
Customers' needs to feel like they're able to reach out to individuals are exemplified by the prolific use of social media as a customer service tool.
6. Improve email customer service
According to recent research, email is the preferred customer service channel for 44% of consumers.
If you are going to utilise email as you're primary channel for communicating with your customers (whether it's an email update or a company newsletter), ensure you're giving your communications the best possible chance of success by designing them around your customers' needs.

French sources said last night that one of the three police photofit pictures of "important witnesses" to the Paris train bombing had been identified by the Algerian intelligence service. He was reported to be a known Islamic extremist, probably a member of the Armed Islamic Group (GIA), the most ruthless of the Algerian terrorist organisations, and the one responsible for the Air France hijacking last Christmas.
The man identified - but not yet named - was spotted on the day of the bombing at a neighbouring RER train station, where he was seen to give a sign like a victory salute on hearing the dull thud that turned out to be the Saint-Michel explosion. The bomb killed seven people and injured more than 80. Sixteen are still in hospital.
This confirmation, if corroborated, will be welcome news to French investigators who seemed to have few firm leads more than a week after the explosion. The inquiry is already running into controversy.
The first point of contention was the arrest of a Tunisian in Paris on Tuesday, apparently after a tip-off following the release of the photofit pictures. First reports said that he was carrying a videocassette illustrating ways of making bombs similar to the one that was planted in the metro train. The French media, however, seemed sceptical. The French news service, Agence France-Presse, played it down.
In the event, the man was released yesterday without charge. AFP did report in some detail the arrest by French police of a Moroccan man in Trieste. He, too, was said to have been carrying a cassette on bomb-making methods, said to have been supplied to him in Zagreb.
The left-of-centre French media has been highly critical of the distribution of the photofit pictures, saying they gave carte blanche for the detention of any young man of north African appearance (the majority of the almost 80,000 people stopped or detained across France since the bombing have been of north African appearance).
For this reason, some reports say, the release of the pictures was opposed by the judge leading the investigation, Jean-Francois Ricard, though it was finally authorised by the Interior Minister, Jean-Louis Debre.
So far, only three admissions of responsibility have been made public: two of them from the Armed Islamic Group and the third from a hitherto unknown Algerian group. But the scientific analysis of the wreckage of the suburban train, which it was hoped would help identify the culprits, has taken much longer than expected.
One reason is that the first firemen on the scene used extinguishers to put out the blaze, destroying or confusing much of the chemical evidence. Preliminary findings reportedly suggested a nitrate derivative that is safer to handle than nitroglycerine. Experts said the explosive might be similar to a substance used by Hizbollah extremists in the late 1980s.

Paleontology – the science of prehistoric life – is a prevailing subject, now more than ever. Paleontologists study the evolutionary history of organisms and, together with geologists, the history of our entire planet. Paleontology is the key to understanding the processes controlling the climate and life on Earth.
The Paläontologische Gesellschaft encourages research and scientific communication, acts as an intermediary between research and public interest and maintains international networks. Paleontology is a modern science making important contributions, especially in current discussions on climate:
With over 1000 members, our society is one of the largest associations of scientists, collectors, students, patrons of science and culture, and persons with a common interest in this field. The Paläontologische Gesellschaft is internationally oriented. Our journal, the Paläontologische Zeitschrift, is our most important medium of publication and is of international interest.
Our corresponding members from around the world promote scientific exchange and international networking with other societies.
We are especially proud of our many student members, who have the opportunity to partake in scientific meetings, excursions and study groups early in their career to help gain experience in scientific communication.
Please join us in this fascinating world of prehistory. We would be glad to get in touch with you!

I'm unable to receive the response in the callback function. If I debug the application, I am able to execute a call from the html component to the server component and the latest returns an SDO object as a result of the operation.

There are problems and limitations to using a wrapper such as cgiwrap with Apache. This is no fault of cgiwrap. I'm sure that there is more that a wrapper like cgiwrap could do if given a decent execution API path out of Apache. > I think the only thing Apache really should be worried about _is_ > the API. One good reason of course is that it _does_ shift the > blame, but another is that it allows for 3rd parties who might > be much more up-to-speed to fill the gap. I disagree. The current suexec "API" has developed as an answer to a problem that I and others have wanted to address. I must admit that I know *I* did not come at this from the philosophy of an "API". I know that *I* have learned quite a bit from this first cut and see the shortcomings of the current approach. It beats the hell out of most of the solutions that we have seen over the past year that require the server to be running as root. Having said that, I think that it is also important to provide a working example. A *paranoid* working example that will: 1. Encourage others to try to improve it. 2. To keep the Apache group out of CERT's top 10 list. I'm happy to see some new people show an interest in this. I feel strongly that this is an important feature for the server. > Think of the wrapper as a module almost... we provide the API for > modules, but we don't write modules for every situation. If we want > to include a wrapper as unsupported, well, but like it or not, > suexec is seen as the "official" way to wrap cgi-scripts.

"A lot of firepower, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg mused as he paused to look at some of the 254 guns large-caliber pistols and military-grade weapons modified to improve aim and avoid detection that were bought by the police during the yearlong undercover investigation."
BTW, what, exactly are "large-caliber pistols and military-grade weapons modified to improve aim and avoid detection", and where can I buy some like that?
Everytime I look at the photo you loaded (thank you), I think those fools are accidents waiting to happen. Guess the attendees are supposed to feel safe because the magazines were removed. What if some of the displayed guns were chambered??? Suppose there was a "Major Hasan" standing near that table waiting for the opportunity to take out someone in that room during their cute photo op?

In 1979 the United States Mint placed Susan B. Anthony on the silver dollar because of her impact on the civil rights movement as well as for being a leading abolitionist. Susan B. Anthony was the first woman to ever be honored with her own coin. However, many other people have had a positive impact on history.
This year, the US Mint has decided to accept applications for yet another person's portrait on a silver dollar. It is your job to convince the Board of Directors to use your design and to persuade the Directors to choose your selected person.
Start by exploring the impact different people had on history. You could focus their work on the contributions of women for March's women's history month. You could also use this project as part of your class's study of famous Americans, famous Virginians (insert your state or country here), Black History month, or even famous writers.
Based on prior knowledge, or after you have given them a list and time to begin research, have each student should choose the person they want to place on the coin.
Explain that students will also need to craft a persuasive argument for their person and design. When writing persuasively, we try to convince others to agree with our facts, share our values, accept our argument and conclusions, and adopt our way of thinking. A persuasive argument should include:
Once the students have completed their research, have them plan their dollar design. What does a coin usually include? What with they choose to represent their person and accomplishment on the back side of the coin?
Approve each student's design choices and have them use the paint tools, like those in Wixie, to create a unique design for the front and back of the coin to honor the person they chose and to commemorate the work this person has done.
Have students add pages to their Wixie project and use the information from their research to persuade the US Mint Board of Directors, convincing them that both their person and their coin design should be chosen. Each persuasive presentation should include:
Students should present their persuasive presentations to the rest of the class, community members, and outside experts like graphic designers if you can't get someone from a US mint to join you.
The Design Your Own Coin project will be assessed on the creativity of the coin design and the quality of the persuasive presentation. During the process, formative assessment can take place, based on 1) the student's choice of a person to honor, 2) their research on this person, 3) their coin design, 4) their persuasive argument, and 5) their oral presentation.

Florida residents who are thinking of entering into or who are currently trying to enter into the homeland security field often have many questions about the field in general and about the type of work they can expect to do in it.
Unfortunately, there really isn't some one-size-fits-all-answer to this oft-asked question. In fact, the best answer is really just a big, "It depends," because it does.
What you will find yourself doing will depend upon the specific area of homeland security in which you work, your level of experience and/or education as it relates to your specific career, and much more.
In general, however, we can tell you that all homeland security professionals have the same big-picture goal in mind, and that is to protect our nation and keep it safe from threats of all kinds.
These threats might be other people or terrorists, illegal immigrants who want to enter our nation for covert and potentially dangerous reasons, and even objects coming into our nation that might carry with them the threat of disease or some other type of harm.
Homeland security professionals enforce federal laws to protect our nation from these threats and more.
Each homeland security agent or officer will generally have a specialty area or a "category" in which they work.
The Department of Homeland Security divides the majority of its jobs up into one of the following categories: Citizenship and Immigration Services, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, Transportation Security Administration, Federal Emergency Management, United States Coast Guard, Federal Law Enforcement, and the United States Secret Service.
Each category will have within it literally hundreds of jobs, each with its own responsibilities, daily tasks, requirements, and goals.
The one big thing in common between all of these areas is that almost all available jobs, across all the categories, will require professionals to have a formal education of some sort. In fact, the vast majority of professionals working in homeland security in any aspect will possess at least a bachelor's level degree.
This degree does not have to be in homeland security specifically and most often is not. However, it is generally related to the job that the person holds or wishes to hold. A lot of people also tend to enter into their homeland security career by doing the same or a similar job at the state or other more localized level.
A police officer, for example, might hold a degree in law enforcement, work at the state or county level, and then eventually move up to work as homeland security law enforcement.
As you can see, however, education really is key no matter what you wish to do in the field. This is why you are strongly encouraged to set career goals in place early, to know what it takes to reach them, and then to plan your education and any other training around meeting that career goal.
That is, hands down, the easiest way to ensure long-lasting success with your career. That, of course, and realistic knowledge about the field and the job being entered into.
Far too many people enter into careers or training in homeland security without really knowing anything about the field. Often, they do so just because they have heard that the money is good (it is), about the wealth of benefits offered, or just for the prestige and expected excitement of working in homeland security.
These, however, really can't compare to the reality of working a dangerous job, often with exhausting responsibilities, unending hours of work, and real danger to the professional doing the job. While there are upsides to working in homeland security, the truth is that only those who truly love what they do will be able to make it in this demanding and often difficult career field.
The best way to make sure that you are entering into homeland security for the right reasons is to do your research. Thoroughly study the job you are seeking. Know all that it entails, what the risks are to you, and what will be expected of you both now and in the future. That is the only way to avoid surprises to and have a long and happy career.

I find "BOTH / AND" more useful than "EITHER / OR".
.... as in BOTH (point shooting) AND (sighted shooting).
I infer from FBI gunfight research Force Science News that "instinctive" shooting style is very effective in close range gunfight situations.
Since "guantes" first posted that document I have included close range (3 feet to 5 feet) instinctive point-shooting practice for at least a few mags. during every practice trip to the range (I will be getting real training on this but until I do I want to know what I can do at this range without getting to full extension or acquiring a sight picture).
I have been amazed at the consistent good hits I get.
I encourage you to try it.

The Origin of Auspicious Is For The Birds
Auspicious comes from Latin auspex, which literally means "bird seer" (from the words avis, meaning "bird," and specere, meaning "to look at"). In ancient Rome, these "bird seers" were priests, or augurs, who studied the flight and feeding patterns of birds, then delivered prophecies based on their observations. The right combination of bird behavior indicated favorable conditions, but the wrong patterns spelled trouble. The English noun auspice, which originally referred to this practice of observing birds to discover omens, also comes from Latin auspex. Today, the plural form auspices is often used with the meaning "kindly patronage and guidance."

Philadelphia, July 27: US President Barack Obama has said it is possible that Russia was trying to interfere in the US presidential election, after a leak of Democratic National Committee emails that have been attributed to Russian hackers by experts. [Hillary Clinton nominated as presidential candidate]
"What we do know is that the Russians hack our systems. Not just government systems, but private systems. But you know, what the motives were in terms of the leaks, all that -- I can't say directly," Obama told NBC News in an interview.
"Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Putin"
"What I do know is that Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin," he said as the interviewer promoted that it looks like he is suggesting that Putin might be motivated to prefer Trump in the White House.
"Well-- I am basing this on what Mr Trump himself has said. And I think that Trump's gotten pretty favourable coverage back in Russia," Obama said in response to a question.
"Anything is possible"
Asked if the Russians were trying to influence the US elections, Obama replied: "Anything is possible." Obama's comments come in the wake of release of emails by WikiLeaks which were obtained illegally by hacking into the server of the Democratic National Committee. These emails indicated that the party leadership supported Clinton in the primaries against her rival Senator Bernie Sanders from Vermont.
Meanwhile, the Democratic Party and the Clinton campaign acknowledged more emails could be released in the coming weeks, the timing of which would be scheduled to inflict most damage to the Democratic presidential nominee.
"The WikiLeaks leak was obviously designed to hurt our convention. I don't think they're done. That's how they operate," Jennifer Palmieri, communications director for Hillary for America, told reporters at a news conference.
What WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said
"We can't know, but it's part of the reason that we wanted people to understand our belief that the Russians are behind this. People need to understand when these leaks happen what they're designed to do," she said. In an interview to CNN, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange said they plan to release more emails in the coming weeks.
"What we have right now is the Hillary Clinton campaign using a speculative allegation about hacks that have occurred in the past to try and divert attention from our emails, another separate issue that WikiLeaks has published," he said.
"I think this raises a very serious question, which is that the natural instincts of Hillary Clinton and the people around her, that when confronted with a serious domestic political scandal, that she tries to blame the Russians, blame the Chinese, etc," he said.
"If she does that when she's in government, that's a political, managerial style that can lead to conflict," Assange said.

EF-1 tornado confirmed in Plainfield, Indianapolis
A weak EF1 tornado that did considerable damage in Hendricks and Marion counties cut an approximate two mile path in Plainfield and the southwest side of Indianapolis.
The National Weather Service says the first significant damage from the storm was at ADESA, a vehicle auction facility near US 40 and Ronald Reagan Parkway, around 2:30 p.m. A building was heavily damaged and more than 200 cars were impacted by flying debris. Some minor straight line wind damage was seen west of the auction facility near Township Line Road and Smith Road.The tornado traveled northeast, damaging nearly two dozen homes in Hendricks County, along CR 200 South near CR 1050 East. A camping trailer was tossed through the air into a home, tearing off a significant portion of the roof of the house.
From there, the tornado continued tracking through the Bentwood subdivision, to the Cameron Meadows subdivision in Indianapolis. The tornado was still classified as an EF-1 as it tore through the subdivision, with winds estimated at 95 to 100 miles an hour.
The tornado lifted at approximately 2:40 p.m., but the storm's straight-line winds caused at least minor damage to 75 to 100 homes from I-465 at Rockville Road all the way to Speedway.
?Residents recounted some frightening moments as the storm approached.
"She was sitting there playing on her phone. I was listening to the radio. The warning came across and the sirens started going off so I started watching out the back window about southwest of here and I could see it starting to form," said Terry Abbott, a Cameron Meadows resident, who was at home with his young daughter. "Maybe two minutes later I started seeing debris. That's when I told her to go to the bathroom. Grab the dog and go to the bathroom. I stood there and watched it for as long as I could and we just started getting pelted with debris so I had to go into the bathroom with her.""It was horrifying. The house shook. There was a loud boom. It scared me really bad. I had to run to my powder room downstairs because I thought the roof was gonna cave in on top of me because I was in my bedroom,"said Shirl Greenlee.
Emergency crews are assessing the damage.
If you don't live in the Cameron Meadows neighborhood, you are asked to stay out as police and fire crews help residents clean up.

Location: Innovative Fruit Production, Improvement and Protection2010 Annual Report
1a. Objectives (from AD-416)
1. Develop and integrate sustainable pest control technologies into deciduous tree fruit production systems. 2. Develop and integrate new horticultural technologies and strategies into deciduous tree fruit production systems to improve apple and peach fruit quality. 3. Develop and integrate new automation and mechanization technologies into deciduous tree fruit production systems to improve apple and peach production efficiency.
1b. Approach (from AD-416)
This project proposes the development and integration of entomological, horticultural, and engineering technology to solve major problems affecting temperate tree fruit production, the sustainability and environmental impact of tree fruit production, and consumer acceptance of tree fruits. Novel arthropod management techniques will be developed through the evaluation of insect behavioral manipulation strategies, identification of insect-resistant fruit tree accessions, and manipulation of the orchard floor vegetation to encourage beneficial insects and arthropods. Improved light, water, and pest management will be developed through new irrigation and vegetation manipulation of the orchard floor and through improved understanding of hormones and growth habit on carbon partitioning, tree development, and water use efficiency. Novel crop load management will be developed through new chemical and mechanization approaches. Future mechanization of orchard operations will be facilitated by newly developed tree management systems to improve light penetration in novel tree growth habits and by computerized visualization of tree branches and fruit. The broad base of expertise in the research program will integrate the most appropriate technologies to solve the key problems of tree fruit production. Productive and sustainable tree fruit production systems will benefit both consumers and global competitiveness of U.S. growers.
3. Progress Report
During 2010, progress was made toward the management of plum curculio, and a potentially significant insect threat to fruit, the brown marmorated stink bug, was evaluated. The synthetic chemical, trans-2-hexenal, was identified as a reliable standard for use in behavioral studies that monitor electro-physiological responses of plum curculio. This new standard will enable the discovery of biologically active signals for plum curculio management with physiochemical techniques. The brown marmorated stink bug is a recently introduced invasive pest into eastern North America that has begun to cause economic damage and is a household nuisance. It was shown that early season damage was greater than 20% in apple and 50% in peach in both unsprayed and sprayed orchards. Based on stink bug population studies that were conducted this year, specified growth rate models can be used to predict appropriate scheduling for pest management. Research continued on the role of plant growth regulators on tree architecture and their effect on stress resistance. The DNA sequences of genes that may be important components of hormone regulation of branching were compared in herbaceous and vine species. This comparison allowed PCR primers to be developed which were used this year to demonstrate that similar genes were present in peach and apple. Cloning and sequencing of the gene DNA sequence from apple and peach enabled the development of a quantitative RT-PCR technique that will be used to compare gene expression in fruit trees with different growth characteristics. In the greenhouse, applications of the amino acid DL-ß-aminobutyric acid (BABA) and the hormone abscisic acid provided dehydration protection to young apple trees. Research progressed to develop techniques that improve crop load management which is necessary to attain marketable size fruit. A woven white reflective mulch material increased shoot growth in young apple trees and in one cultivar, blossom production was increased. In mature trees, applications of 1% eugenol, a natural essential oil, reduced crop load about 50% in peach indicating that eugenol can effectively reduce the time required for follow-up hand thinning. Multiple sprays of the ethylene generating bioregulator, ethephon, were effective at reducing the problem of biennial crop production in mature apple trees. Progress was made in the development of machines for thinning peach bloom or green fruit. A new single spiked-drum shaker was designed and developed following previous tests with a double-drum unit. The new shaker is smaller, lighter weight and more readily adapted to forklift machines commonly found in commercial orchards. Field tests in 2010 demonstrated removal rates ranging from 10% to over 50% of the green fruit (about 35 days after full bloom) depending on shaker frequency. Work continued on techniques to create a three-dimensional model of a leafless apple tree for the eventual purposes of mechanized pruning. Cameras were used to acquire images of the tree, and those images were used as input to a computer program that is under development to create the three-dimensional model.
4. Accomplishments
1. New and efficient mechanical thinning equipment for high-density peach production systems. Reducing the number of fruit per tree (thinning) is necessary to attain marketable size fruit, but thinning is a costly and labor intensive operation that could benefit from mechanization. A new single spiked-drum shaker was designed and developed by ARS scientists at Kearneysville, WV following previous tests with a double-drum unit. The new shaker is smaller, lighter weight and more readily adapted to forklift machines commonly found in commercial orchards. Field tests in 2010 demonstrated removal rates ranging from 10% to over 50% of the green fruit (about 35 days after full bloom) depending on shaker frequency. This thinning device has drawn interest from peach grower groups in California, Washington, and South Carolina in addition to Pennsylvania where some tests were conducted.
2. Brown marmorated stink bug may cause significant damage to apple and peach. The brown marmorated stink bug is a recently introduced invasive pest into eastern North America that has begun to cause economic damage and is a household nuisance. It was shown by ARS scientists at Kearneysville, WV that early season damage to apple is greater than 20% and to peach is 50% in both unsprayed and sprayed orchards. The insect growth rate was also confirmed. Damage estimates and sampling will enable stink bug monitoring for determination of when damage levels to fruit are imminent. Application of these data to previously developed growth rate models can predict when this pest is at the proper growth stage to manage.

Description: On August 27, 2007, the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an earlier district court ruling that sport climbing on a Washoe Indian sacred place in western Nevada must cease. Cave Rock, a towering monolith jutting over the shore of Lake Tahoe, has been sacred to the Washoe people for over five thousand years. Long abused by road builders and vandals, it earned new fame in the late twentieth century as a world-class sport rock-climbing site. Over twenty years of bitter disputes and confrontation between the Washoe and the climbers ensued. The Washoe are a small community of fewer than 2,000 members; the climbers were backed by a national advocacy and lobbying group and over a hundredpowerful corporations. Cave Rockfollows the history of the fight between these two groups and examines the legal challenges and administrative actions that ultimately resulted in a climbing ban. After over two centuries of judicial decisions allowing federal control, economic development, or public interests to outweigh Indian claims to their sacred places, the Court's ruling was both unprecedented and highly significant. As the authors conclude, the long-term implications of the ruling for the protection of Native rights are of equalconsequence.

Teen retailer Aeropostale blamed changing consumer patterns, particularly of the "mom" shopper, for its plan to close 125 of its mall-based P.S. stores and slash 100 corporate jobs.
New York-based Aeropostale(NYSE: ARO) said it plans to remove the children's clothing stores from malls by the end of its fiscal 2014 year and focus on faster-growing sales areas, such as online sales, outlet stores and international licensing. The company said it is also exploring other potential third-party distribution channels.
Aeropostale didn't say how many people would lose their jobs as a result of the the P.S. store closings, but said it also plans to cut 100 corporate jobs as part of a comprehensive cost-reduction program.
"Today's actions reflect the very difficult but necessary decisions we have made to align our business with overall retail market trends," Chief Executive Thomas Johnson said in a statement.
The company estimated that it would record pre-tax restructuring, asset impairment, and other charges of $40 million to $65 million during fiscal 2014 related to these actions, of which $25 million to $40 million are estimated to be cash expenses. But it said these initiatives will generate pre-tax savings of $30 million to $35 million a year, of which $5 million to $10 million is expected to be achieved this fiscal year.
"The steps we are announcing today build on our turnaround efforts from the past year," Johnson said. "Through the restructuring of our P.S. from Aeropostale brand, and expansion of our expense savings program, we will be better positioned financially and have laid the groundwork for the future."

Trent Bridge, July 31: India underwent a grueling second session of Day 3 in the Trent Bridge Test with England taking their score from 130/2 to 254/4. Ian Bell scored a century en route while Kevin Pieterson supported him with 63. At tea, England led by 184 runs with Bell just out on 137 and Eoin Morgan unbeaten on 18.
Buoyant from a fruitful first session, Bell and Pietersen continued batting in the same vein after lunch. The former hit a four in the fifth ball of the afternoon to set the tone. Then soon after England's score crossed 150 in the 44th over, Pietersen clobbered Ishant Sharma for three boundaries.
Three overs later, the batting duo teamed up to knock two fours off Praveen Kumar and a couple of overs after that, Bell clipped Sreesanth to the square leg boundary to bring up his century (off just 128 balls). Not to be outdone, Kevin Pietersen notched up his 50 off 97 balls in the 50th over and England were sitting pretty at 186/2 with the lead at 119.
In the following over, Bell dispatched Sreesanth to the fence twice. Then in the 53rd over, Pietersen took a single off Harbhajan Singh to bring up England's 200. Finally, in the 56th over, Sreesanth was able to put the lid on the 162-run stand, having Pietersen caught behind for 63. The hosts were still in a comfortable position at 219/3 with the lead at 152 and Eoin Morgan the new man in.
In the 59th over, it was Morgan's turn to aim at the boundary, twice sending Praveen Kumar to it. Six overs later, Bell took a single off Suresh Raina to bring up England's 250/3 with the lead now at 183.
Then in a most extraordinary incident at the stroke of tea, Ian Bell was run out assuming the last ball of Ishant's over had reached the boundary when actually Praveen Kumar had pulled it in and returned it to Dhoni who whipped off the bails while Bell was walking off! India thus picked up a bonus wicket, with Bell out for 137 and England at 254/4.

Are you cranky for no apparent reason? You might be constipated. The Huffington Post article 10 Foods That Cause Constipation points out a few items you may not have known about. Check them out below!
Unripe Bananas
- It sounds like a myth, but Kesso says there's some truth to it. Green bananas, or unripe bananas, have a high amount of starch, which can make constipation symptoms worse.
- If you're used to drinking a cup of coffee every day, but you're also getting constipated, you may want to consider cutting back. For some, caffeine can cause dehydration and lead to constipation.
- Chocolate is basically a double threat: It is high in fat, which slows down digestion, and may also have caffeine, which can cause dehydration.

|232 m²
|Ligging vakantiehuis
|Minimum verblijf
|7 nachten
5 minuten lopen van het meer Glenville, prive-woning op 3 hectare met wrap-around veranda, stijgende kathedraal plafonds, stenen open haard, 4 slaapkamers, waarvan 2 master suites en design keuken. Serene vergezichten van de Blue Ridge Mountains, kerstboom boerderijen, prachtige zonsondergangen en de natuurlijke flora en fauna.
We have been traveling to Glenville, NC for over 15 years. Every summer we rent a place and this by far was one of the most beautiful properties inside and out. It was warm and inviting and extremely comfortable for everyone. We loved cooking in the kitchen, sitting at the dining table and moving to the family room. We sat out on the wrap around porch every morning and every evening. We would watch our dogs run around the property having a blast. We were so sad to leave, but we know we will be back again. The owner is so sweet and wants nothing more then to make sure everyone is happy.
I'm not sure there will be enough room to write the review I have for this property and the owner! I have rented many homes before and never have I been as happy or comfortable I was at The Farm! From the moment you head up the driveway and see this magnificent home up the hill, you are in awe. My family and I went up for one of my daughters wedding and as luck would have it I was just minutes from the venue! The moment we walked in, we were instantly at home, the house is so gorgeously decorated, every room is perfect and you need nothing. The bedding is beautiful and comfortable and so are the towels. The cookware the dishes the furnishings, amazing! Wait till you sit on the porches!! That was the most enjoyable part of the day, having coffee on the porch with my family, watching the early morning fog burn off to the beautiful fall colors in the mountains, breath taking! The huge fireplace in the living room is the great centerpiece of the living area, and boy did we enjoy keeping the fire going all day! There was plenty of room for all of us and the layout is such that your family can all be together and not on top of each other. The grounds and the house are much more beautiful than the pictures of them. We walked the property and the views are something else! We saw deer a couple times and a bald eagle even made an appearance! It's in a perfect location to the lake and to Cashiers, just in case you feel like going out to lunch, dinner or even to get some shopping in! Being from Florida the fact that the driveway was easy to navigate was definitely a plus and plenty of parking space too! I just can't wait to book this magnificent home again. I'm sure anyone that stays at The Farm will be just as pleased as we were! It's been a great pleasure working with the owner and during your stay any problem at all is taken care of right away! I hope this review helps you enjoy your stay as much as we did!
This home owner has an amazing home. Everything you need for any stay. The home is stunning. We went for my son's wedding and loved our stay. The setting of this home is lovely. Very close to the lake as well as town. But still far enough to feel like you are lost in time. The home was decorated immaculate.
I would recommend this property to anyone.
We travel to North Carolina every other year for Thanksgiving week and most of the houses we stay at we rent through VRBO. The Farm is by far the loveliest, most comfortable and beautiful house we have stayed at! Everything from the first response from the owner to our departure was excellent. One thing we loved the most (besides the AMAZING kitchen!) was how easily accessible is the house. The location is great - we even spent a day in Gatlinburg, TN with plenty of time to return back home. A quick drive to Highlands and you will find a really lovely upscale town with great food and service. Since we stayed in Glenville during cold weather, we didn't get to enjoy the lake, but did enjoy a drive through the beautiful scenic roads around it. The house is perfectly appointed and extremely comfortable. It is the perfect place to just relax and fall back in love with nature and life! It is so peaceful, yet you don't feel so isolated from civilization as everything is very accessible. The beds are amazing! The house is a piece of art! The caretaker is very attentive and helped us with everything we needed. Gail, the owner, is a pleasure to work with. Please, do not think twice about renting this property. You will not regret it! We spent the most beautiful Thanksgiving week so far at The Farm and are very grateful we came across this rental.
Our extended family of 5 adults and 3 children spent a memorable week at this lovely house and inviting setting. It was an ideal place for the little ones to explore nature in a setting where they could explore and be easily supervised. The 5 year old loved learning to fish in the neighbors' pond. We set up badminton, croquet and had a marshmellow roast at the fire pit.
They ran around the porch like it was their cruise ship. Nearby is a small man made beach by Duke power. The tv was never even turned on!
The few problems we encountered were immediately addressed by the owner and local caretaker. We would highly recommend this convenient rental.
Great place to get away and unwind. House is superbly maintained and supplied with all the necessities. Just bring yourselves and some groceries (and perhaps a bottle or two of wine.) Nice grocery store in nearby Cashiers (Ingles) carries everything you could possibly need. The wrap around deck / porch is a nice feature. We took in a few nice sunsets from the front.
This was our first experience renting a vacation property through HomeAway so we were a bit apprehensive at first. We never spoke directly with the owner, Gail, but through promptly returned emails it wasn't long before she made us feel like old friends. You could almost sense she wished could be there herself to host us!
Glenville itself offers the lake, a cool hiking trail at the base of the lake down to High Falls (pretty steep but fun) and Happ's Place restaurant which we took a chance on and found to be surprisingly good. Other than that you'll need to travel just a few miles to Cashiers and Highlands for shopping and dining but it's an easy trip. Besides, the house is so nice you may not even want to leave it! We had beautiful weather every day so we were outside a lot but would have been quite comfortable if we had to stay inside.
We explored a few different waterfalls in the area (Whitewater Falls, Dry Falls (and some others I can't remember the name of) rented jet skis at Lakeside Marina on Lake Glenville and a tritoon boat from Signal Ridge Marina right next door. We were able to tube and water ski with the tritoon boat.
My Wife, daughter and sister - in - law enjoyed the boutiques in Cashiers and even more so over in Highlands. There's great golf in the area too. Most courses are private but there are a few open to the public. We were very well treated at Sapphire National, about 20 minutes from the house. We also enjoyed dinner at a tapas restaurant in Sapphire Valley called Table 64.
I forgot to say we even had our 2 miniature daschunds with us. Most the hiking trails and waterfalls allow pets on a leash. They had a blast hiking up and down the mountains! There's also a nice public park in Cashiers with perfect trails for dog walking. I'd recommend a sandwich from the Farmers Market there then grab a picnic table in the park. We were going to go back there our last night for live entertainment called "Groovin on the Green" but we were just too tired.
All said, it was a great trip. The house is fantastic and Gail is a wonderful, trustworthy person from whom to rent.
