Writing CGI Applications with Perl offers the most practical examples of applying Web programming techniques to real world problems I've seen yet. The text blends good CGI programming techniques, idiomatic Perl, and databases into many large and useful examples. Careful attention is paid to demonstrating solid, scalable code for production use. This is not your typical 'Hello, World' CGI programming book.
--Clinton Pierce, Perl trainer and author of Teach Yourself Perl in 24 Hours
With its sophisticated database, network, and multi-platform capabilities, the Perl programming language has emerged as an ideal tool for developing CGI-based Web applications.
Writing CGI Applications with Perl shows you how to use Perl to accomplish the most vital tasks needed for today's online applications. Using numerous examples, line-by-line code explanations, and skill-stretching exercises, this book not only provides useful cut-and-paste code for your own programs, but it also teaches you practical skills and techniques that will enable you to develop any kind of CGI-based Web application with Perl.
Focusing on the most important areas of Web application development, including database interaction, form and file handling, security, e-mail, and graphics, the book provides in-depth coverage of such specific topics as:
- Working with HTML Web forms and obtaining user input
- Cookies, tracking clicks, and access counters
- Using the mod_perl Apache module
- Connecting to a POP3 server for e-mail
- Perl DBI and databases on the Web
- Tying a hash to a database
- Embedding Perl in HTML with HTML::Mason
- Remote file management via the Web
- Creating dynamic images
- XML and its derivatives, RSS and RDF
In addition, introductory material is provided for newcomers to CGI or Perl. Numerous appendices include handy references as well as a guide to Perl documentation. A companion Web site, http://www.perlcgi-book.com, contains the code for all the examples.
Geared toward the needs of today's professional Web developers, Writing CGI Applications with Perl provides the specific tools, experienced-based techniques, and overall concepts necessary for quality Web application development.

This is an extremely helpful book for writing web-based applications with Perl. Lots of helpful descriptions and examples. Useful for beginners to familiarize themselves with a wide range of necessary terms and topics. For example, I found the chapters on mod_perl and dbi very helpful. Also useful for more experienced CGI programmers because of the useful examples and techniques presented.
This book is well written and is mostly a set of well explained examples on CGI programming with Perl, plus some explanation of CGI. It is not a Perl textbook, but it does explain the examples line by line. I'm new to CGI and have only recently learned Perl, but I was able to add several CGI-based features to my web site after reading this book. Highly recommended.
I've read several Perl books in my time, and this is by far the best one I've seen. It covers the major aspects of Perl thoroughly, with short and well-explained examples. A programmer or developer can pick up this book and learn Perl the right way, rather than learning inefficient hacks taught in other books.
My 5-star rating assumes you put in the time and effort the book expects of the reader. Do the exercises. Accept the challenge to improve script. Look at documentation. I will use the book as a reference source or even to find code I need. That's not what makes this a 5-star book. What does are how straight-forward the authors' explain how the script accomplishes the task; the different methods used for getting the message across; the clarity of the writing and flow of the book's substance; and the volume of material covered. I couldn't have made a better investment in expanding my knowledge.
This book does what I expected and more. It offers practical cut-and-paste script, but focuses as much on ¿why¿ a technique works so you can write your own script and think of new tasks for Perl. The book covers many applications: graphics,cookies, e-mail, security, databases, and much more. The authors present info in a unique way, such as with interactive exercises. They successfully introduce techniques and concepts as building blocks for other applications. You're not expected to know something that's not in the book. To wrap up, I recommend this terrific book to all programmers or web developers who want to keep on learning.

On my third bottle. Absolutely love this. I have very oily hair and this keeps its feeling clean. I only use conditioner on the ends. Its the kind of shampoo that leaves no residue and gives hair a shine.

terrible! The shampoo stinks! The conditioner as well and the oil is just as bad!! After my girlfriend opened the bathroom door, I was under the impression she has been experimenting with illegal chemicals (she must have watched too much breaking bad or something, cooking meth under the shower) the smell is obnoxious! I have not noticed any difference in the hair, she still has it, so it must not be all that bad when it comes to hair cleaning, but if they can do something about the way the shampoo smells, that would be nice... dear God what a stench!! like expired medicine combined with vinegar

Used a big tube and a trial tube up. Gorgeous smell and good packaging. At �8 for 200 ml it's reasonably priced. It's sulphate free and unlike a lot of sulfate free shampoos, it is capable of foaming nicely and thoroughly cleaning hair. I have really greasy hair that must be washed every other day, even that is pushing it. It cleans well, and hair regreased at a normal rate. I had zero scalp itching using this, and often less fallout in the shower. However, it didn't leave my hair as glossy, flyaway-free or volumised as my beloved Philip Kingsley, so l can't justify sticking with it. Used in conjunction with the matching oily hair conditioner my hair quickly got lank with itchy spots on my scalp.

I look forward to washing my hair knowing I get to use this in the shower. Compared to some natural shampoos this had a really nice fragrance, like my shower was filled with essential oils. One thing that impressed me was the lather as I wasn't expecting it to be so creamy but it was. You need only a blob about the size of a 10p coin, which works great on my shoulder length hair.
I suffer with dry scalp, especially in the winter, and although this doesn't get rid of the flakes (i'm still searching for something that will) it does make my hair and scalp feel clean and soft, and not itchy either.
I think the price is actually quite reasonable, as you don't need as much for a good wash, and the 200ml bottle barely feels like I've made a dent in it and I've had it a few weeks and I frequently wash my hair. So a little goes a long way.
Will definitely repurchase.

I got a sample packet of this with one of my orders and thought it was good enough to purchase the full size. I have curly dry hair so i try to avoid SLS and silicones etc and generally these products come at a cost, in comparison to more basic shampoos. Currently sells for �8.50 for 200ml which is expensive - you can get similar products for less.
I still like this product and have found you have to use it consistently to get results. It does a good job of cleaning my hair without drying it out. It also doesn't cause a reaction to the skin on my body or face which some cheaper products do.
Now the only thing I dislike is the fragrance - very sweet and sickly. If it was more subtle I wouldn't mind but some mornings (during this pregnancy) it has been a bit too much. I would repurchase but due to the cost and impending birth it won't be soon.

I really like this shampoo, it's moisturising and doesn't strip hair at all. Considering it has no artificial foaming agents a little lathers up well. It is thick for a shampoo and will last a long time. To the reviewer below who was so concerned about sodium chloride - that's just salt - won't harm your hair in the minimal quantities in this product!

This is my favourite SLS/SLES-free shampoo and I have repurchased it numerous times. My husband has dry scalp issues and whilst this does not cure the flakies, it is much better than other shampoos at not aggravating it (we use various oils massaged into his scalp for that). I wanted to share how I use it because before I was told this, I thought it was pretty mediocre.
The incredibly lovely sales assistant at the Liz Earle store (some of the nicest SAs in London there!) explained to me that you need to double wash with this. I use about three to four pea-sized dollops to massage this into my scalp. I used to have extremely long hair and that was enough because I never really suds up the lengths of my hair with shampoo - only the scalp. Once you've done the first wash and rinsed the shampoo out, do it again with about the same amount of shampoo. This second wash will lather a lot more and feel more satisfying, if you're after the sudsy experience that shampoos with SLS/SLES give (although it really doesn't lather nearly as much as the SLS/SLES shampoos).
If you struggle with tangled hair, I would tackle that with conditioner, rather than trying to use the shampoo to work through the tangles.
I find this shampoo is very good for my scalp - it is not drying and so I do not struggle with my scalp getting oily soon after a wash. It smells delicious and fresh and because I use much less of this than I used to use with SLS/SLES shampoos, that helps mitigate the cost a bit. The price is my only complaint because it's hard to stomach a �8 shampoo! However, until I find something better, I'll be going back for more.

A friend recommended this product to me as my hair is really damaged and it has natural ingredients so lessens the damage when washing! However it hasn't worked for me. The smell is like essential oils, it's not bad but I don't love it. More importantly though, when I wash my hair with this shampoo it just builds up and makes underneath my hair feel horrible sticky, even when i try to re-wash with another shampoo and rinse for ages the sticky feeling weighs my hair down and won't go away unless i use clarifying shampoo (which is damaging so I would rather not...). Really gutted because when I had dark hair it did make the top look so shiny, but now I am back to blonde it doesn't really make it shiny either. The conditioner is okay though, nearly finished that but probably won't even be finishing the shampoo

I'm a big fan of Liz Earle so couldn't wait for the launch of this product but it just doesn't cut it.
Smells Divine
Produces a reasonable lather
SLS free
Contains sodium chloride
For us girls that colour sodium chloride is almost as bad as SLS for stripping colour from the hair so I feel that Liz Earle has scored a massive own goal with this formulation. Certainly not a patch on Green People products.

It is not a bad product but it is not a favourite one either.
Indeed it does not contain harsh cleaning chemicals but unfortunately my hair does not cooperate with SLS free shampoos too well. My delicate, greasy hair just gets greasy faster and matte with that unwashed look so I have to come back to the usual product with SLS (like Elseve Nutri-Gloss light in pink bottle, which is my favourite) between washes with SLS free shampoo. Which kind of defeats the purpose...This shampoo was not as bad as some other 'natural' shampoos I have been using but I will not repurchase.
This product smells rather nice, lathers reasonably well though I would advise washing one's barnet twice instead of once as I would normally do with Elseve. It comes in a generous looking 200 ml tube, which is nicely designed in blue and green tones, going well with our dark stone bathroom lol!
My husband used it all up (and it is very longlasting! I think it took him about 3 to 4 month of twice a week use) and his scalp is very sensitive and sometimes itchy but he did not have any bad experience this time. However he is back to using my Elseve again!
Just one not to the fragrance of the product - it smells very earthy, very natural but the smell tends to linger on the hair longer than I would like it to do. I used to wash my makeup brushes with it and the fragrance was staying on the bristles for quite a bit!

As most SW engineers in my teams are university graduates, they already possess some theoretical knowledge in software enginering. What they lack is the know-how of translating theory into practice. Such wisdom is normally obtained after years and years of work (if at all). A good book enabling the engineer to climb faster up the learning curve and shorten this learning period would be invaluable to me.
Most SW engineering books teach theory, not practice. Thus, I approached this book named "Software Engineering: Principles AND PRACTICE " with great expectations. In short - I was very disappointed.
Not that it's a bad book. It is well written, and the theoretical part may serve well as a textbook, probably even aiding students to pass their SW engineering 101 course. However, I found the practical part of the book very lacking: No real tips. No real insights. Nothing really bright here. Definitely not something that would help somebody write better applications, produce high quality products on time, and eventually advance his/her career. NOT WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR.
Most Helpful Customer Reviews on Amazon.com (beta)
This book however does not go into details on the HOW, and was left me a little unsatisfied on best practices, and how to improve my skills as a software engineer.
This book is great for students as well as professionals involved in Software Engineering. It gives students an overview of what to expect in a software shop, but is more of a reference book for professionals to give a little further insight into the different aspects of the SDLC.
Cons: the reading can be very, very dry at times.

Macau twists the tiger's tail
THE ailing Macau Jockey Club (MJC) have grasped a television lifeline and the Royal Hong Kong Jockey Club are not amused. ATV, for two decades the forelock-tugging carrier of the Jockey Club's races, have had the temerity to do a deal with another racing authority.
It must have been a highly beneficial day's work for the traditionally weaker local broadcaster as they have unquestionably angered their primary benefactor. Growls, rumbles and the gnashing of teeth would probably best describe the immediate reaction from the Sports Road headquarters of the Jockey Club which has enjoyed a monopoly on legal gambling throughout the territory's history. The lion, as it were, faces the likelihood of a morsel or two of meat being snatched away and is roaring - in frustration rather than the prospect of encroaching hunger. The roars, to date, have been in vain and those interested can view Macau racing from mid-October.
The cynical among the racing and business fraternities in Hong Kong may well be having a snigger at the Jockey Club's discomfort and it would not be stretching the imagination to suggest there might be some sly smiles - hidden behind the hand - at 81 Broadcast Drive, either. ATV have had a generally excellent working relationship with the Jockey Club for a long time - but it was rather a case of being told what they could and could not do. Like a good and faithful servant, ATV were best advised to remember their place. To examine the approaching advent of MJC racing on a minority television channel in Hong Kong is to immediately state that the Jockey Club have been the supreme architects of their own dissatisfaction.
They spent weeks working out the latest two-year contract with ATV and patently failed to look after their own interests in one obvious area: possible competition. Complacency? Lack of business acumen? Call it what you will, but the pertinent question must be why did the Jockey Club negotiators not insist on a simple exclusion clause that would prevent ATV airing anything to the detriment of horse racing or its controlling body in Hong Kong? No multi-billion dollar business leaves its flanks exposed when they can be readily protected or loopholes open when they can be closed. A two-line clause inserted in the current contract would have prevented the present angst in Sports Road.
This would have been nothing more than simple business sense and would not have raised a whimper from ATV who know a thing or two about tying down their own artists to exclusive contracts which permit them to do little more than breathe - and then only on Home or World. Careers in the business world have ended or been permanently blighted for less than this unhappy oversight and, whatever happens from now on, the Stewards and senior management of the Club should remember that it was all preventable.
It is difficult to believe that by airing five races live on an English channel that the MJC's totalisator turnover is going to go through the ceiling - but it does raise the question of illegal bookmaking, a spectre invoked immediately by the Jockey Club here. There have been soothing noises from various Government departments and the police that close scrutiny will be kept - I am not exactly sure how that will work - on any increase in illegal betting activity.
Promises of action to be taken have been made. The MJC are responsible for making the programmes and they will be scrutinised, if not in the matter of quality control, presumably to see if they are anything more than an invitation for Hong Kong viewers to bet. But, then again, what do local television programmes involving Hong Kong racing do? As part of the current contract with ATV, the Jockey Club are responsible for English language programmes on the local station. They started with an excellent concept for an English language Wednesday night live programme - a game attempt to present more varied fare in a snappy format that may have owed something to similar programmes in England or Australia.
Within a week that particular experiment was shot down and it was back to the well known formula of plenty of horses and tote boards. So let's not be hypocritical, racing is about betting and the public want to be advised about what will win and what they'll get out of it. The MJC have done what they consider to be a good business deal and, to an extent, it may work. ATV have picked up a few million dollars for utilising some of the deadest time on television. The present contract with the RHKJC expires in June 1997, a pertinent date in the history of this community. In the interim ATV have decided to get what they can - like any number of other Hong Kong people - and it is hard to blame them.
There are obvious geographical parallels for what is now about to take place. Irish punters can bet on English races and British bookmaking firms have shops all over northern Europe. New Zealand punters bet on Australian racing helped by Sky racing coverage. Singapore punters bet on Malaysian racing and vice versa.
It is very easy to suggest that the Jockey Club are simply peeved that their betting bastion has been assaulted - bearing in mind that they are presenting weekly simulcast races to Canada, North America, Mexico and midweek racing to Malaysia. What's sauce for the goose . . . ? But they do have one irrefutable point: higher betting turnover in Hong Kong also means higher charitable payouts.
The list of projects undertaken, charities funded and good causes financially endorsed by the Jockey Club is endless. They have been munificent and that should not be readily forgotten. It is also a fact that the Hong Kong public does have very real confidence in the RHKJC. The confidence has been earned over many years and is something the racing body does everything in its power to preserve.
The same cannot be said of the MJC.
The MJC took a chance when they started racing at Taipa and their directors and investors are in it for the money. Like the Jockey Club here, they may be non profit-making - but certainly not by intent.
It hasn't worked at Taipa and their wooing of ATV could be construed as a final throw of the dice.
Meanwhile, the RHKJC are entitled to protect what they perceive to be their own preserve and will assuredly be keeping the relevant Government departments on their toes when it comes to assessing the spread, if any, of illegal betting.
Finally, will five races telecast live from Taipa on an English language channel in Hong Kong be the financial panacea for the MJC's ills? I doubt it, given the quality and availability of Hong Kong racing which is clearly superior to that on Taipa. In a couple of months a number of people may be echoing the words of the senior ATV executive who said: 'I'm not sure what the fuss is all about.'

@AtDisneyAgain @EPCOTExplorer @jonathan_prime from last night at TT. see, I can foam with the best of them.
The time has come,..
Peri peri chicken flatbread with lamb chopper cheese, pickled sweet bell peppers, and lime chakalaka.
This wahoo dish is still as good as ever. I would come here just for this. Crazy amount of flavors in one bite.
Cheeeeese. Portion on the honey crisp cut down significantly from last week.
Because I really want sweet potato bread pudding...
So, this happened last night. I was mentioned by cheese. Something to cross off the bucket list? Unclear. But awesome.
Today's a day when I remember how awesome my alma mater is...
Calling all #cultofcornbread'ers :)
The end of the FP retrieval line for Little Mermaid. Welcome to Christmas break!!

Ten guesses where I'm stopped on ride 102. Sneezing up a storm at the moment, probably from all the space dust.

This road leads to gorgeous beaches and long pier walks...The hungry visitor is faced with a plethora of eateries, pubs, take-aways, shell-fish stalls and casinos ;) The stench/aroma of hot food is a strange mix and not always appetising.
This is fascinating to study on the slideshow, Jim. The repeated pattern of the Christmas lights on the street lights breaking up the space on the right and the interesting variety of shops on the left, the grey gloomy winter sky contrasting with the sunlit buildings, and a crowd of warmly dressed people, one of which is enjoying an icecream! Love it! Theolfa

it sounds weird. So when you disable all addons, and only enable Atlas, changing talent make it reload the UI - mean Atlas being reloaded, but then changing talent works fine by then?
Atlas has nothing to do with talent related feature, and I was not able to reproduce the problem. I will give it with several tries, but I won't expect too much that I will be able to reproduce the problem and figure out what is the root cause.

The Children's Aid Blog
Dunlevy Milbank Center Hosts Community Town Hall
Community members of all ages braved the frigid weather to attend the Town Hall Meeting at our Dunlevy Milbank Center in Harlem. Milbank staff organized the event to promote open and honest conversation within the climate of strained relations between police members and communities of color. The meeting featured a panel of local leaders, elected officials, and current and retired members of the New York Police Department. Key figures in attendance included Harlem City Council Member Inez Dickens and NYPD Deputy Chief Rodney Harrison. Khalil Scott, a Children's Aid parent, facilitated the discussion.
Milbank director Casper Lassiter opened up the meeting with the hope that "we can begin to better understand each other's realities." His comments framed the dialogue around the sharing of individual experiences. Youth in attendance—a mix of students from Milbank and the Hope Leadership Academy—detailed negative encounters with law enforcement. Officers tried to demystify community policing while also explaining some of the anxieties that come with the job.
Councilmember Dickens spoke about bridging the gap between law enforcement and community members. She encouraged the audience to vote, citing it as a way for local citizens to enact change. "We want you to survive and rise up," she said to the youth in the audience.
While the evening did not end with a consensus on solutions, everyone seemed satisfied with the ability to air their concerns and eager to see community relations improve, and soon. Angel Jackson, a former Milbank participant and current Hope Leadership student, wanted to make sure NYPD representatives were clear on one thing: "Kids are not a threat to you."
Three Kings Day in East Harlem
On Tuesday, January 6, El Museo Del Barrio hosted its 37th Annual Three Kings Parade. For the past eight years, children from our East Harlem Early Head Start and Head Start programs have participated in the event. Approximately 20 children and their parent's marched in the parade, displaying their handmade crowns and maracas that they created especially for the day. Despite the cold and snowy weather everyone had a great time!
Fun and Philanthropy
Here at Children's Aid, we have a lot to be thankful for throughout the holiday season. We learned of yet another thing about which to be grateful.
For seven years, the Pig Brooch Theatre Company has been staging a word-for-word performance of "A Charlie Brown Christmas," mimicking to perfection every movement of the animated characters. Presented at the Brooklyn Lyceum, the event has become a well-known family tradition.
Less well known is that Pig Brooch chooses a charity every year and donates the net proceeds (after expenses). This year, the theater company chose Children's Aid. All of us want to thank Pig Brooch for their generosity. The cast and crew include some actors but lots of people from all walks of life who do this simply because they love it. The play is probably seen by approximately 1,000 people across eight performances.
So thank you, Pig Brooch. And if you're in search of holiday cheer next year, look for the eight season of "A Charlie Brown Christmas."
An Evening with The Nutcracker
Earlier this month, Lincoln Center launched the Family-Linc program, designed to introduce and encourage children and families from high-poverty areas to attend dance, theater, orchestral music, and opera performances on a regular basis.
On Sunday, December 14, more than 200 people and 55 families from Children's Aid sites and programs from the South Bronx were invited to attend a performance of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker at Lincoln Center. All attendees were treated to prime orchestra-level seating. Prior to the performance, parents and their children participated in art activities, dance lessons, and a primer on the story of The Nutcracker. To ensure all families had an enriched experience, Spanish-speaking families were paired with families that could offer assistance translating the lessons of the day.
Thank you to Lincoln Center and our Family Success Program and School Age Division for making this event possible for our kids and their families.
A Toy for Every Child
Future Proof is Dentsu Aegis Network's approach to corporate social responsibility. Through this initiative, employees from Dentsu Aegis Network have been sponsoring holiday gifts for the East Harlem Center for the last seven years. This year, on December 16th, the group brought along a very jolly friend. Santa Claus and Dentsu Aegis elves visited our Head Start classrooms to spread some holiday cheer.
Each child received a wrapped gift, which brought wide smiles to all the young faces. Denstu Aegis also collected toys for participants in the early childhood programs, which will be distributed later.
Thank you again to our friends at Dentsu Aegis Network for their continued partnership with Children's Aid and for becoming part of our family at the East Harlem Center!
MSG Classroom: Where Teamwork isn't just a Concept
Last week, another class of students from the Hope Leadership Academy "graduated" from MSG Classroom. Ten students spent the fall learning about the media industry and what it takes to succeed in a television career. They met twice a week, once at Madison Square Garden offices to meet with staff and learn interviewing skills, camera and production work, and much more. And the teens typically met the day before at Children's Aid to prepare for those classes.
The end product was "Slap Shot," a professional quality news interview program. Roberto Rivera interviewed Anthony DuClair, a 19-year-old rookie star for the New York Rangers. And Nyuma Gumaneh interviewed the legendary Al Trautwig, an award-winning sportscaster who has been a mainstay for the New York Rangers, Knicks, and Yankees in addition to being a consistent presence at the Olympics since 2000, among many other pursuits in sports journalism. He is an enthusiastic supporter of MSG Classroom and told Nyuma that her interview of him was the best one that had ever been done.
Since 2008, about 120 students from Hope Leadership Academy have participated in MSG Classroom, which has won a 2013 Beacon Award* for its educational impact. The program is hugely important to these young people, regardless of whether they ever decide to make broadcast journalism or television their career.
One of the most important things they learn is teamwork. "Everyone has a significant contribution," said Danny Morris, an assistant director in the Adolescence Division who has overseen the running of the program since 2008, but began directly managing it 2 years ago. "Teamwork isn't just a concept after MSG Classroom. They see that everyone is a critical part of a big project."
Danny also talked about how the kids get a better sense of their own value. They can see themselves as being a part of something great. "The people at Madison Square Garden treat these guys like they're rock stars," said Danny. "And it sinks in for the students that, yes, 'I deserve this.'"
Among other things, participants also learn to dress for success by visiting workplaces twice a week. They also get to be thankful. For example, they will be over-the-top thankful for the courtside Knicks tickets they received from Al Trautwig at the end of last week's ceremony.
More importantly, though, they will certainly be thankful for a once in a lifetime experience that should pay dividends in their college careers and far beyond.
*=MSG won a 2013 Beacon Award in the Education category for the 2012 Fall Semester of their "MSG Classroom" program. The Beacon Awards are presented annually by The Association of Cable Communicators (ACC) and recognize programming networks, cable systems, and cable associations for excellence in communications and public affairs.
A Night of Music and Community in the South Bronx
Dozens of children and their families gathered at PS 55 in the Bronx on Thursday for an evening of music with an international twist. Hosted by South Bronx Rising Together, this live musical performance was headlined by internationally renowned Canadian Brass. They were joined by two local Bronx groups, multi-Grammy nominee Bobby Sanabria & Quarteto Aché, and Circa 95, a local hip hop duo.
This eclectic group of musicians was brought together in partnerships with the Bronx Music Heritage Center and PS 55. The event was designed to help foster a stronger sense of community for the families, the school, and the community partners, as they work together to create a cradle-to-college and career pathway.
Playing the Garden
Alex and Ivan Kalashnikov came to the attention of the Staten Island team of Children's Aid in the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Both boys were traumatized by how the storm affected their home. Their father knew they needed a diversion, so he helped teach them to play classical guitar.
They have come a long way. Thanks to Garden of Dreams, the brothers played the Garden on Monday night before the puck dropped at a New York Rangers game. They put on quite a show.
The Holidays Mean Hogs
Under the bright sun, about 100 patrons of the Hogs & Heifers Saloon sliced through the brisk wind on the Harley Davidson motorcycles to bring some good cheer to approximately 300 children and their families from The Children's Aid Society's Preventive Services Program. This is the third year for the event and it's become a wonderful tradition that these families really appreciate. The good cheer took the form of brand-new wrapped toys, gift cards, and a holiday meal. Santa arrived on his own hog to take care of the distribution and make a lot of kids happy.
Many thanks to Michelle Dell, the owner of Hogs & Heifers, manager Kelly Marshall, and all of their generous customers for making this such a great day for so many young people.

Thank you for making Roman Holiday a success!
Grazie Amici!
Last month, the Associates Council hosted our 18th annual fall fundraiser, "Roman Holiday." The event was held at Bread & Tulips, a cozy and rustic-chic restaurant in New York's Gramercy area and gathered 130 guests to raise funds and awareness for The Children's Aid Society's (CAS) foster care program.
Through ticket and raffle sales, we raised over $5,000 to support foster care programs.
To kick-off the event, Director of Permanency for foster care programs at CAS, Michael Wagner, explained how event proceeds would support some of the non-traditional and unexpected expenses that arise during the year.
"I'm extremely moved and encouraged by the junior board's efforts to raise awareness and funds for our foster care program," said Michael Wagner. "Through their fundraiser, we have funds that enable us to provide the extra things that government funding doesn't necessarily provide when a child has to be removed from the home."
In addition to raising awareness and funds for a great cause, the event also gathered Associates Council members and their guests who sampled delicious handmade pizzas fresh from the oven and antipasti while socializing.
Associates Council members and event co-chairs Zandra Pernica and Kate Ruque secured sponsorship from a range of vendors including Tito's Handmade Vodka, Tiziano, Weihenstephan beer and Southampton Breweries. The duo also worked to coordinate several raffle prizes including the "Porto Rotondo" Audrey bag donated by The Audrey Hepburn Children's Fund and a signed New York Rangers hockey stick signed by NHL all-star Rick Nash.
Under Zandra and Kate's leadership, young professionals were inspired to donate their time and talents to make this event a success. Dennis Han patiently designed the event graphics and Nick Wingfield of Lass Photography photographed and captured video of the event. Follow us on Facebook to view event photos and click here to view the video!
As 2014 winds down, the Associates Council would like to thank all of its members and supporters for making this event and this year a meaningful success. Planning for more great events and programming are already in the works, so follow us on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook to stay up-to-date on our news!

The Vatican was Thursday pushed for the first time to provide answers to the UN over its commitment to stamp out child sex abuse by priests.
The landmark question-and-answer session before the UN's child rights watchdog in Geneva came as Pope Francis said Catholics should feel "shame", in an apparent reference to the scandals that have rocked the Church.
Francis has vowed zero tolerance of abuse, setting up a special committee to investigate sex crimes, enforce prevention and care for victims.
But top officials at the United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child questioned the Vatican's resolve.
"The Holy See has not established any mechanism to investigate those accused of perpetrating sexual abuse, nor to prosecute them," charged committee member Sara Oviedo.
The Roman Catholic Church has been shaken by a decade-long cascade of scandals involving child abuse by priests and Catholic lay officials, from Ireland to the United States and Australia.
Pressed for details of the Vatican's new committee, its UN ambassador, Monsignor Silvano Tomasi said the ground rules and membership were still being established.
Oviedo also quizzed the Vatican on specifics, demanding to know what it was doing in the case of Archbishop Jozef Wesolowski, a papal envoy from deeply Catholic Poland recalled from the Dominican Republic amid claims of abuse.
Monsignor Charles Scicluna, the Vatican's former top prosecutor, insisted the Church understood what it had to do.
"The Holy See gets it, that certain things have to be done differently," he said.
"It's not words, it has to be commitment on the ground, on the level of the local churches," he told the panel.
But committee member Hiranthi Wijemanne said perpetrators were too often shielded by their hierarchy.
"Why is there no mandatory reporting to a country's judicial authorities when crimes occur?" she asked. "Taking actions against perpetrators is part of justice."
Past cases of abuse were often covered up by priests' superiors, who typically transferred offenders to new parishes, rather than turn them over to police.
Scicluna insisted there was no conspiracy of silence.
"It is not a policy of the Holy See to encourage cover-ups," he said. "Our guideline has always been that domestic law of the countries where the churches operate needs to be followed."
Like other signatories of the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Vatican agrees to submit regular reports on its respect for the rules, and to be scrutinised by an 18-member panel.
Thursday's session marked the Vatican's second appearance before the committee. The first was in 1995, before the abuse cases burst into the spotlight.
'It's a test of the new pope'
Benedict XVI, pontiff from 2005 to 2013, was the first pope to apologise to abuse victims and call for zero tolerance.
Pope Francis alluded to the abuse revelations in a homily on Thursday, as "the shame of the Church."
"Do we feel shame? There are so many scandals that I do not want to name them individually but everyone knows about them!" said the pope.
But campaign groups say the pope's "lofty words" have so far made little difference to victims.
"When is it going to start, what's going to happen?" Mary Caplan, UN representative of US-based global network SNAP (Survivors' Network of those Abused by Priests), told AFP.
"Nothing's changed," SNAP president Barbara Blaine charged before reporters, citing two benchmarks for judging the Vatican.
"Number one is, are they turning the evidence of sex crimes over to the police? And number two, are they punishing any of the bishops who have enabled and covered up for the sexual predators?
"That would give me hope that children would be protected in our church. But they fail to do either one."
Tomasi said the Vatican was serious about fighting abuse.
"For the Holy See, the whole problem is a wound that hurts the Church as a community of faith," he said.
"The Holy See has carefully delineated policies and procedures designed to help eliminate such abuse and to collaborate with respective state authorities to fight against this crime," he said.
But he argued that the Holy See's powers were limited given that it was legally responsible only for implementing the UN Convention on children's rights on the tiny territory of Vatican City -- a position long criticised by campaigners.
It was up to nations to crack down, Tomasi insisted.
"Priests are not functionaries of the Vatican. Priests are citizens of their own state and fall under its jurisdiction," he underlined.
Keith Porteous-Wood, executive director of the British-based National Secular, was scathing.
"The Holy See's still playing hardball and evading its responsibility under the Convention, for activities which it controls worldwide," he said.
"It's just unacceptable."
"I also think it's a test of the new pope. He's getting a wonderful press at the moment, but the reality is that we haven't seen anything that is any change from the previous regime, apart from the smiling face."
The Vatican says it continues to receive around 600 claims against abusive priests every year, many dating back to the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.

What is the secret behind every successful product? Why are people willing to pay more for a BMW than a Chevrolet? How could Apple iPhones represent only 4% of the world's cell phone market in 2011 but take in 50% of the profits? The answer is quality.
In this provocative new book, bestselling author James L. Adams provides a brilliant, in-depth look at the powerful but elusive qualities that can make or break a product's success. A must-read for managers, designers, manufacturers, and marketers, this groundbreaking approach will change the way you think about your product—and show you why it's more important than ever to deliver the highest quality possible. In Good Products, Bad Products, you'll learn how to: :
- Maximize your product's performance—and minimize the cost
- Appeal to your customer's emotions—with elegance and sophistication
- Make sure your product is a perfect fit—that's human, cultural, and global
With competition growing stronger and fiercer every year, product quality has become the number-one factor in a company's success. Adams points out that there will always be a stable demand for a high-quality product. By addressing every aspect of product quality—from the technical to the practical to the aesthetic—you can develop a product that your company will be proud of and your customers will love.
Along the way, you'll hear fascinating case studies of famous brands that became victims of their own success—like Kodak, IBM, Zenith, and GM—and struggled to recover lost ground. You'll see how some countries like Japan surged ahead by offering better products than anyone on the globe. You'll learn how some U.S. manufacturers remained successful in spite of the foreign market's lower wages. And you'll discover the top industry secrets for prioritizing quality throughout the company, delivering products that are the best in their class.
Now more than ever, quality matters. Good Products, Bad Products gives you the edge—so you can give your customers the best product possible.
James L. Adams is professor emeritus at Stanford University, where he chaired several programs, taught courses on design and creativity, and participated in many executive programs. Trained as an engineer and artist, he has conducted corporate workshops around the world and has written the bestselling guide to creativity and innovation, Conceptual Blockbusting.

Using REST with Arduino Yun
With this short guide we release today, we will explain you how to use your Arduino Yun to do something that was never accomplished before with a board of such family.
We'll face a real embedded project, with its set of sensors and management and control applications. Thanks to our experiment shield (more info), you'll manage the sensors via a web browser, having no need of writing a software.
Connect a button that is open when at rest between the ground of the shield and the pin 7. Connect the central pin of a 47Kohm potentiometer to the A5 pin and the ends to the ground and to the positive of the shield. Finally connect a switch to pin 4 and one end to the ground. For a better visual effect, although not necessary, connect a common cathode RGB LED to the grounded cathode and to the R, G and B clamps, respectively to pins 3 , 5 and 6 with a limiting resistor of 330 ohms on each clamp.
The "bricks" that must be used for the project are the shield , the " Bridge" example sketch and… a web browser.
Turn on the Arduino Yun and connect it to the network.
Open the development IDE and the "File" menu and pick:
"Examples" >> " Bridge" >> " Bridge"
Now load the sketch on the Arduino ATmega32u4 microcontroller of the Arduino Yun by clicking on the "Upload" button .
After the sketch has been downloaded, open a browser on your PC and try to control the I / O of the shield by using REST technology in native mode, or by writing the URI directly in the browser navigation field.
The URI REST format, implemented by Arduino Yun, follows this form:
http://<Arduino_Yún_Address>/arduino /<status>/<pin>/value> (optional)>)
For example, the URI:
asks to the Bridge sketch to set Arduino's pin 13 as an output : in this case the pin associated to the relay in the one at the upper left.
With the URI:
you bring pin 13 to high, by closing the relay and giving light to the LED, while with:
the relay is opened and the LED is turned off. You can repeat the experience with the pins 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
Let 's now try to query the status of a digital input pin. For example, pin 7.
Change the pin status by holding the P1 button connected between pin 7 and ground and then type again the command, to see the different results.
The same is valid for pins 5 and 6.
Now it is the turn of analog input pins. Try to query the A5 pin, which has been connected to the RV1 potentiometer.
Use the URI :
Here, too, the same mechanism of other analog input pins (A1 to A5) can be applied.
The digital pins 3, 5 and 6 can be used as analog output pins. Try with pin 3, to which we connected a LED with a related limiting resistor, by typing the URI:
You'll see the LED lighting up to about half the maximum brightness. With the "0" value you blow out the LED and with the 255 value you'll turn it on at full brightness. The same goes for pins 5 and 6.

"Kimberly Dawn and I have been good friends for several years! She has always been so kind and supportive of my work as an actor and filmmaker. As Kim became interested in the craft of acting, I started noticing her work and how professional she comes across both promoting herself and others. After Kim worked with me as Featured Background on The Kill Switch and Partners, I felt it was time to see her in action as a Principal Character. When I started writing A Father's Love, something about the way she speaks and the way she looks became my vision for 'Nurse Millie'. In shooting her scenes on Sunday, November 8, 2015, Kimberly showed me she can hold her own. She is very natural, organic, and soft spoken. She definitely has a 'Niche'. I was so proud of her on this film and will definitely consider her for other projects I write in my future. She is a very sweet, compassionate, and caring woman. 'A GREAT FRIEND and HARD WORKER!'"

Don't expect a warm welcome and best deal when you use your reward vouchers at attractions etc.
You may be handing over £100 But in reality this is worth about £25 to the supplier as this is all Tesco will give them. Add the cost of staff to handle the claim and the glossy £100 voucher is worth less than £20 to the supplier. So don't be surprised that you are not as welcome as a cash paying customer
