Former IRA member talking
The war between Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland ended more than a decade ago. But, a new battle has broken out over an oral history that contains some of the Irish Republican Army's (IRA) deepest secrets.
"As they always say, the victors write the history," Delours Price said.
The history she is talking about is when Catholics and Protestants were at war in Northern Ireland and when Delours and her sister Marian were IRA fighters trying to force the British out....

LONDON, April 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
Adestra announced today the v2.8 release of MessageFocus, with an array of features to make managing and improving email programs even easier.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20140331/678597-a )
Key Features
Launch Calendar
Easily coordinate email campaigns with the new launch calendar. The calendar view gives visibility into all sent and scheduled campaigns at a glance. Include launches from the whole account, a particular workspace, a project, or just a user. View by day, week, month, or year.
Benchmark Reporting
See how email measures up to other campaigns across an entire MessageFocus account. Performance is indicated via thumb up, or thumb down icons in the Campaign Reports. Results are based on how well a particular campaign has done against the average.
Compare results against other workspaces or projects over a selected period of time. Get an instant rating of performance for delivery, open-rate, clicks, unsubscribes, and conversions.
Updated Heatmap
The new, improved heatmap continues to give a great visual overview of the most clicked links in a campaign. Enhancements include:
- a slider for custom opacity
- greater visibility into link information
- the ability to print the heatmap for report sharing
Purchase History Filters
MessageFocus users now have the ability to create custom filters based on transactional data. Once a contact's purchase history is in MessageFocus, users can use tags and set filters to send them targeted messages. Create campaigns based on specific products, types of product or average or total spend.
IP Authentication by Email
Adestra customers now have another security option when it comes to data protection. In addition to IP access restrictions and OTP Tokens, clients are also able to add IP Authentication by email to their MessageFocus account. When a user logs on from an unknown or un-authenticated IP address, they will receive an email at the account associated with their MessageFocus userID, containing an authentication link, which they must click before being allowed access to the system.
These features are all live, now, and available to existing Adestra clients. More information, including screenshots, is available at adestra.com.
Henry Hyder-Smith, Managing Director and founder of Adestra, said:
"We're very excited by this latest release, which puts some great new features in the hands of email marketers. It shows our continued commitment to creating a cutting edge platform for our clients."

"Our stay at this beautiful property was all that we expected and more…location, property condition, weather was all a plus. Our family of 11 was comfortably accommodated esp. the kids upstairs in their loft- perfect hangout for the cousins. And to top it off, the owners were extremely great and easy to work with. Highly recommend staying here!"Guest: Cecilia R. Date of Stay: June 2014 Review Submitted: June 30, 2014View listing
"We very much enjoyed our stay at this room. We have 3 young boys so the 2 bedroom house worked out great for us. It was nice to have so much land for the boys to run around on outside to burn off energy, and house was very clean and extremely well organized. If you are interested in stargazing there is plenty of tech to wet your appetite, we just did not have time to try it out. We visited Yosemite during our stay - less than a hour, so a bit of a drive but you don't mind because the drive is so beautiful."Guest: Darin B.

"Thank you Don for creating an awesome, beautiful, tranquil beach house for me and my 2 Sisters to come and enjoy for thier Birthdays. You were always available or quick to answer my calls for questions. Your place was even better than expected, with its panoramic views from the living area and master bedroom, to the great TV 80 in. viewing experience, more like a HD theater, only better with the comfy leather electric recliners in the couch and the recliner, NICE touch. The kitchen was also equipped with everything we needed. At first I was a little worried about the traffic noise from the busy highway, however the ocean waves right off the deck took over and I heard no traffic noise at all. My Sisters and I have stayed in many beach front vacation rentals from Ore. to Mex. and we all agreed, this one was the best by far. I want to stay here again sometime and would reccomend to everyone as A+!"Guest: connie Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 5, 2015View listing

I was a tiny bit skeptical about not having sheets and towels provided, but was happy just to have found a place. The price was amazing, and besides the sheets and towels, this place was fully stocked. There were an abundance of dishes, spices, ice trays, games, and even some toiletries. Best of all it was only a couple of blocks from downtown Kernville where we wanted to be!"Guest: wlovely Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: February 23, 2015View listing
California Travel Tips
Our country's largest state by population, and third largest by area, is home to a wonderful diversity in cultures, climate and landscapes. Here are the top sites to see and things to do in California by region:
The Bay Area
The Bay Area is best known as a free-spirited locale that is home to the biggest tech giants in Silicon Valley, including Facebook, Twitter, Google and Microsoft. It's anchored by two major cities - San Jose to the south and hilly San Francisco, a major tourist destination on the north end. Here are the top things to do while you're in the Bay Area:
- Visit the sites in San Francisco. You can't miss the iconic Golden Gate Bridge - bike across it, walk or take an open-air tour bus to experience the massive bridge in all its glory. Visitors can also take a ferry and tour spooky Alcatraz Island. Other attractions include shopping on Fisherman's Wharf, checking out the sea lions on Pier 39 and immersing yourself in science at The Exploratorium and California Academy of Sciences. If you're traveling here in the summer, bring a jacket! SF can be blazing hot and then overcast and chilly within the same day as the famed fog rolls in.
- Head north across the Golden Gate to see the giant redwoods in Muir Woods and check out some excellent wineries in the charming Sonoma and Napa valleys.
- Visit the amazing Monterey Bay Aquarium and nearby beaches San Carlos Beach Park and Pebble Beach.
- Be one with nature at Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevadas or climb the famous Half Dome and El Capitan mountains.
- Go skiing or participate in other adventure sports in Lake Tahoe, just north of Yosemite.
Southern California
SoCal, as it's sometimes called, is one of the sunniest and most celeb-studded places in the country. There's plenty to do and see in and around Los Angeles and San Diego, the two major cities in the area. Here are the top spots:
- If you're traveling with kids around L.A., head to Disneyland in Anaheim - the only Disney Park built under the direction of The Man Behind the Magic himself.

VN, US review AO recovery efforts
DONG NAI (VNS)— The Viet Nam–US Dialogue Group on Agent Orange/Dioxin convened a second roundtable conference in the southern Dong Nai Province yesterday to review recovery efforts following Agent Orange (AO) exposure.
The toxic chemical, AO, was sprayed by the US troops during the Viet Nam war.
Head of the group, Ha Huy Thong, briefed the US guests on Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung's recent plan of action, which will serve as a blueprint for action between now and the year 2020, for effectively dealing with the consequences of AO exposure.
He also hailed the US government for coordinating with Viet Nam in this endeavour, citing its four-year Da Nang airport dioxin clean-up project as an exemplar.
The first stage of the project will conclude this year.
Director of the US Agency for International Development (USAID)'s Environment and Social Development Office, Kyung Choe, said that a plan for conducting an environmental assessment in a location around the Bien Hoa airport was now underway.

Gifts V Incentives
To recognise what an effective gift strategy is, it helps to understand what it isn't. Start by making the distinction between corporate gift giving and incentive award programs. Though gifts and incentive awards often involve similar types of recipients, they are different on both strategic and practical levels. Incentives are awards for achieving defined levels of activity, such as sales quotas, safety improvements, or good attendance.
In contrast, gifts are more or less spontaneous, given not as part of any defined exchange between giver and recipient. The gift recipient doesn't consciously set goals in anticipation of a reward, whereas the incentive recipient does. It's tempting to view gift and incentive programs in the same light. After all, you want to know that you're getting your money's worth from any business investment, and most givers want to motivate the recipient in one way or another.
But be careful. Leaving customers or employees with the impression that they're being bribed can do more harm than good. Instead, look at gift giving as a subtle, long-term process of relationship-building, following the basic guidelines described in this article.
Marketing Tips for Promotional Merchandise Market:• You can keep your cost down and get blank promotional items, it also works wonders.
• National promotions are usually planned around new car launches and receive a huge interest from public eye; therefore unique products are always in demand.
• In your campaign, the target group needs to be made aware of the existence and availability of the product through promotional marketing and some freebies should be made available.
• In promotional advertising the consumer promotion needs to be brought to the public's attention with a strong message that is why it is crucial for your company to invest in imprinted promotional merchandise.
• How about business related promotional items like notepads, folders and year planners?
• Promotional merchandise is widely used in all company promotions, whether small or big.
• You give away, you do not loose. On the contrary, your brand gets a new feel, your customers are happy and most important, 'word of mouth' works in your favour.
• Most of your customers are probably big fans of golf so it is worth getting some small golf giveaways.
• Corporate promotional items are new range of top quality items often purchased by banks, insurance companies and large hotel chains
• An idea of using corporate gifts is not a new one and is now widely used in promotional campaigns and in-house product launches.

Robin van Persie: The one that got away from Manchester City
The fact that United signed Van Persie – and City didn't – is a huge factor in the balance of Manchester power, writes Ian Herbert on the eve of another crucial derby meeting
Ian Herbert
Ian Herbert is Chief Sportswriter at The Independent.
Saturday 08 December 2012
'Anything can happen in the transfer market," Roberto Mancini said yesterday. "You can want to buy one player but it is difficult because the player makes another decision. Now we can't change this…" And if you searched hard enough you could just about make out the faint residual desolation Mancini still feels about Robin van Persie's decision to reject Manchester City this summer and sign for Sir Alex Ferguson instead.
It damaged City twice over, of course, adding to United as much as it took away from the notional side Mancini had planned out in his mind to defend the Premier League title. When all the tactics, analysis and arguments are stripped out, the 29-year-old Dutchman simply contributes those individual moments of enterprise which can separate sides and prove the difference between triumph and disaster.
"Players like him, world-class players can be the difference," Ryan Giggs reflected on Wednesday night, an hour or so after a United side minus Van Persie had lacked the killer moment to defeat Cluj.
So many passing conversations in Manchester these past few months seem to have been consumed by Van Persie. Gary Neville, talking United at a Football Writers' Association (FWA) event in the city on Thursday, offered the same conclusion as Giggs. "He's the one who can change games," Neville said. To which Ferguson added yesterday that "he's unbelievable – his intelligence, his maturity," as yet another press conference turned to the subject.
City feels like the less joyful of the Manchester clubs heading into tomorrow's derby but that would almost certainly not be the case but for Van Persie. Free of the injuries which prevented all but the 2011-12 campaign being truly great for him at Arsenal, he has scored in seven of the 11 games this season in which United have fallen behind. The word "saviour" doesn't feel like hyperbole.
"Talisman" is actually the term Wayne Rooney used when discussing Van Persie in Braga last month. Rooney used to shoulder the talisman's role himself and since his own season has been start-stop, it doesn't bear thinking where United's campaign would now have placed them had Ferguson's several telephone calls to Arsène Wenger this summer not yielded the desired transfer.
Van Persie is the kind of individual who seizes and flourishes on the simple things. "It is not really work, it is my hobby, I love football, but everyone has been so nice to me and I have been having the time of my life here," he told MUTV last night.
This is an individual with an inherited appreciation of art – his father, the artist Bob van Persie, had collages of his son's former club Feyenoord on the walls of their home in Rotterdam – and the aesthetics of his link-up play with Rooney is one of the reasons why he is enjoying himself so much. Rooney is the closest equivalent to Dennis Bergkamp and Cesc Fabregas, whose artistry and speed of thought so absorbed him at Arsenal.
"Cesc is slow, you know," he told the Financial Times earlier this year. "And yet he was the fastest of us all. He always thinks two seconds ahead. At training once I was running three, four metres behind him. I caught up and thought, 'Now I'll get you'. But with the point of his boot he gives – peep! – a tiny little pass for a one-two. That gives him another metre and a half…"
The axis with Rooney provides something similar. As the Dutchman tells it, they are not so much No 9 and 10 as two 9½s. Rooney has not been prolific this season but his link-up with Van Persie has been sublime at times.
Van Persie was not interrogated by MUTV on his reasons for choosing United over City, though since Mancini was offering more money, it is safe to surmise that the certainty of where and how often he would start games this season came into it.
Those certainties have not existed for City's Sergio Aguero, often billeted out on the left by Mancini. "I like Aguero, I think he's a fantastic player, but he's not quite at his best right now," Neville told the FWA. "If he was, you could argue him above Van Persie. I thought Aguero would score 35 goals this season but he's been played on the left wing. His movement is at a different level; his speed, his toughness, his finishing...his goal won the title last year. [But] his changing of partners and moving him to the left wing hasn't helped him. For me he should be central and whoever is around him goes left or right."
Van Persie has no such uncertainties. Rooney has spoken of the "calmness" about his new team-mate, who also holds the ball up well and brings other players into the game. On MUTV he exuded the persona of a man simply immersed in his club and with a mind uncluttered by anything which might come between him and a major performance tomorrow.
"We can come back," he said, managing the gymnastic feat of turning United's propensity for failing behind in games into a positive. "We can score in any minute of the game, from any angle, from corners, from free-kicks, from open play, with headers. We can score at any time and have proved that during this season again. This whole club is about that – if you look at the whole history of this club, it's a lot about comebacks. If you can do it once it's nice; if you can do it a couple more times it's even nicer but if you can do it as often as us, it is a strength. It is a quality.
"So whatever happens on Sunday – or in any games – everyone knows and realises that we can always come back and always bounce back, even when we're 2-0 down."
The perfectly reasonable question of whether Van Persie knows what a Manchester derby actually entailed seemed almost unnecessary by the time he had answered it, last night. "I know how it is," he replied. "Obviously, in the past I had the north London derby against Spurs and other derbies in London, but this is two Manchester teams in one city – one is called United and the other is called City and that's it. They are the only teams. So it is the only derby and the biggest derby."

The water recycling facility located in Yarra Park, adjacent to Gate 2 at the MCG, has been recognised with the Infrastructure Project Innovation Award at the Australian Water Association Awards (Victorian Branch).
The $24 million project was funded by Yarra Park manager Melbourne Cricket Club ($18m) and the Victorian Government ($6m) and is a cornerstone of the MCC's long-term vision for the health and wellbeing of Yarra Park for all users.
More than 180 million litres of recycled water will be produced each year and re-used primarily as irrigation in Yarra Park and at nearby Punt Road Oval, as well as for cleaning and toilet flushing at the MCG.
The scheme will reduce the MCC's use of potable water by approximately 50 per cent.
Minister for Sport and Recreation, Hugh Delahunty said the Victorian Government was a proud funding partner in improving the sustainability of Yarra Park.
"This award is a fitting acknowledgment of a project which is protecting and securing the future of Yarra Park as an important community asset for many years to come," Mr Delahunty said.
The water recycling facility re-uses sewage from the local sewer network and is one of the first of its type in Victoria built underground and out of view, ensuring it does not impact the amenity of the park.
"Development of a water recycling facility is a major initiative in our master plan for the long-term health and viability of Yarra Park," said MCC CEO Stephen Gough.
"It will also substantially reduce our reliability on potable water and increase the amenity for all park users."
Tenix was commissioned to design and build the facility. It developed a number of value-add engineering solutions and used 3D modelling to identify cost-saving opportunities prior to construction.
The judges were particularly impressed with this high-tech plant producing up to 600 KL of recycled water underground daily in such a small space and the novel approach to construction.
"The Yarra Park water recycling facility is a unique, high-profile 'proof-of-concept' example that will serve as a benchmark and focus of learning for the water industry, not just in Victoria but across Australia," said Ross Taylor, Tenix CEO.
The recycled water treatment process consists of screening and grit removal, biological treatment of the sewage and chemical addition for phosphate removal, filtration via membrane bioreactor (MBR) and ultrafiltration membrane systems, and disinfection via ultraviolet and chlorination.
Construction commenced in May, 2011 and was completed in October 2012, following a comprehensive testing regime to ensure the water quality meets EPA guidelines.

Burmistrov looks on bright side of stint with IceCaps
Alex Burmistrov's American Hockey League adventure is about to begin.
The St. John's IceCaps announced details of their training camp on Tuesday, including their daily schedule and roster. And the most intriguing among the 40 names was that of a player who has not played one second in the AHL -- Burmistrov, the 20-year-old Russian who already has 150 NHL games under his belt.
Asked again earlier this week if he was happy to be heading to St. John's -- he had expressed an interest in returning home to Kazan and the KHL, but Jets' brass wants him in the AHL -- Burmistrov said:
"It's a team decision, we (sat) down and came to the decision together," said Burmistrov, who finished the season as the Jets' No. 2 centre. "I can be happy and I can be not happy because I don't know where I go. We'll see what the league (is like). I've never played there and we'll see if I will be enjoying it.
"It's definitely a great team there. They played great last year and it's going to be a good league. There's a lot of young players and a lot of prospects going there to play."
Burmistrov occasionally flashed an impressive skill set a year ago, but also struggled to find consistency in his game. He boosted his rookie numbers with 13 goals and 15 assists, but 19 of those 28 points came in 24 contests: nine points in the first nine games of the season and 10 over a 15-game stretch from Feb. 11-March 15.
"I have no goals for the season, other than to play like I did at the start of (last) season," said Burmistrov. "That's how I know I can play hockey."
Camp begins Oct. 1 in Corner Brook and, in addition to the usual training sessions and two intrasquad games, the IceCaps will play a three-game exhibition series against the Syracuse Crunch called the Mary Brown's Cup -- Oct. 4 in Corner Brook, Oct. 5 in Stephenville and Oct. 7 in Clarenville.
The IceCaps have invited 40 players to camp which will be split into two training groups.
Here is the list of players invited (listed alphabetically):
-- Goaltenders: Chris Carrozzi, Mark Dekanich, Eddie Pasquale and Tyler Plante.
-- Defencemen: Dean Arsene, Ben Chiarot, Ryan Donald, Chris Huxley, Jake Marto, Derek Meech, Julian Melchiori, Will O'Neill, Paul Postma, Travis Ramsey, Zach Redmond and Cody Sol.
-- Forwards: John Albert, Alex Burmistrov, Kevin Clark, Patrice Cormier, Norm Ezekiel, Aaron Gagnon, Jason Gregoire, Brayden Irwin, Jason Jaffray, Ray Kaunisto, Jason King, Carl Klingberg, Josh Lunden, Maxime Macenauer, Spencer Machacek, Ben Maxwell, Eric O'Dell, Ray Sawada, Ryan Schnell, Joey Sides, Brian Sutherby, Ivan Telegin, Hunter Tremblay and Derek Whitmore.
-- DISCUSS AMONG YOURSELVES: ESPN.com's Scott Burnside has put together his first Power Ranking list -- let's home there are more to debate -- but doesn't think much of the Jets.
Burnside has the Jets ranked 29th overall, ahead of only the Columbus Blue Jackets.
Wrote Burnside on the Jets:
'This team still looks all too much like an Atlanta Thrashers team that failed to win a single playoff game. Not sure of the goaltending with Ondrej Pavelec, who was cited for drunk driving in the Czech Republic but didn't bother to tell management. Team defence is still suspect and there's not enough scoring depth up front. Not sure how this adds up to anything but more misery.'

Crye-Leike to sell Kemmons Wilson condos
- Staff Memphis Business Journal
Two Memphis companies are teaming up to market condominiums aimed at aging baby boomers.
Kemmons Wilson Cos. has hired Crye-Leike Inc. as the listing agent for three of its Memphis-area condo communities: The Oaks at Woodchase in Cordova; The Oaks at Parkview in Olive Branch, Miss.; and The Village at Schilling in Collierville.
Sales prices for The Oaks at Woodchase and The Oaks at Parkview condos start at about $150,000. The Schilling Farms condos start in the $220,000 range.
Kemmons Wilson Communities, a division of the Memphis-based diversified holding company, has developed a total of eight communities targeting "active empty nesters." Five of the communities are in the Memphis area and three are in the Denver suburbs.
The Oaks at Woodchase was completed in 2007, on the cusp of the housing meltdown. Kemmons Wilson launched The Village at Schilling in 2008.
Crye-Leike's Cordova managing broker Hank Hogue will be the sales coordinator in the new partnership.

Event Highlights
- Crosscheck Networks will host a workshop titled "Hands-On SOA Security" at BPM Integration Days 2013 on Friday, March 1, 2013 from 9:00am – 12:30pm CET at the Hilton Munich City in Munich, Germany.
- The workshop will be presented in partnership with SOAPARK CEO Dr. Dirk Krafzig.
- Participants of this workshop will learn SOA security principles and industry standards in order to better their understanding of enterprise SOA governance.
Crosscheck Networks, Inc. today announced it will conduct a workshop with SOAPARK at BPM Integration Days 2013 in Munich, Germany. The workshop, titled, "Hands-On SOA Security" will feature CEO of Crosscheck Networks and Forum Systems Founder Mamoon Yunus and SOAPARK CEO Dr. Dirk Krafzig and will take place Friday, March 1, 2013 from 9:00am – 12:30pm CET at the Hilton Munich City.
Enterprises are challenged by the contradictory dynamics of allowing external applications access to internal systems while protecting the critical business data involved in this exchange. And new and ever-increasing threats to enterprise networks compounded by the continued trends in BYOD and cloud computing underscores the imperative for establishing an effective SOA security strategy.
This workshop will teach participants the principles of SOA security along with industry standards and practical application scenarios. Additionally, attendees will learn the protective measures to employ when addressing service virtualization, confidentiality and integrity of messages, and identity tokens during the construction of their SOA projects.

Executive Quote
Mamoon Yunus, CEO of Crosscheck Networks and Founder of Forum Systems
"Many enterprises are now faced with the task of securely bridging their enterprise networks to the cloud as well as to mobile devices used by employees and customers outside of their internal systems. Our goal with this workshop is to offer practical lessons to project managers, architects and developers on how to establish a successful SOA strategy so that third-party applications can securely access the network."
Partner Quotes
Dr. Dirk Krafzig, CEO of SOAPARK
"With growing pressure to move to the cloud coupled with the BYOD phenomenon, it is essential for enterprises to adopt a secure migration method. SOA security is the best option for IT professionals and it is important to be aware of the best practices for seamless implementation."
Mirko Hillert, Event Manager for BPM Integration Days 2013
"It promises to be another successful year for BPM Integration Days in 2013. The workshop with Crosscheck Networks and SOAPARK is one of many that will offer IT professionals and decision-makers lessons on how to successfully incorporate new developments in technology and innovation into their business plan and IT strategy."

Absolutely. Toaster? It's only a matter of time.

Even though it's now Microservices Journal, long-time fans of SOA World Magazine can take comfort in the fact that the URL – soa.sys-con.com – remains unchanged. And that's no mistake, as microservices are really nothing more than a new and improved take on the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) best practices we struggled to hammer out over the last decade. Skeptics, however, might say that this change is nothing more than an exercise in buzzword-hopping. SOA is passé, and now that people are ...

For those of us that have been practicing SOA for over a decade, it's surprising that there's so much interest in microservices. In fairness microservices don't look like the vendor play that was early SOA in the early noughties. But experienced SOA practitioners everywhere will be wondering if microservices is actually a good thing. You see microservices is basically an SOA pattern that inherits all the well-known SOA principles and adds characteristics that address the use of SOA for distribut...

Microservice architectures are the new hotness, even though they aren't really all that different (in principle) from the paradigm described by SOA (which is dead, or not dead, depending on whom you ask). One of the things this decompositional approach to application architecture does is encourage developers and operations (some might even say DevOps) to re-evaluate scaling strategies. In particular, the notion is forwarded that an application should be built to scale and then infrastructure sho...

Microservices are the result of decomposing applications. That may sound a lot like SOA, but SOA was based on an object-oriented (noun) premise; that is, services were built around an object - like a customer - with all the necessary operations (functions) that go along with it. SOA was also founded on a variety of standards (most of them coming out of OASIS) like SOAP, WSDL, XML and UDDI. Microservices have no standards (at least none deriving from a standards body or organization) and can be b...
