Boston, one of the most beautiful cities in the world, on a crisp and clear evening taken from Memorial Drive in Cambridge. I loved this image so much that I had it printed and framed and it is hanging on my dining room wall. In my humble opinion, It is one of the best photographs I have taken and one of the reasons I started an online store. The store allows me (and maybe only me) to have my photographs custom printed and framed with no cropping. Friend me on Facebook, look at my blogs, or look me up on Flickr. My online photograph store is now open. Click to Shop. | In This Issue | |

Event Driven Communication At TRI, we spend a good deal of time creating event driven automation. This has its obvious application in processes You can take entire courses on the subject, but to be brief, communicating with your customer is one of the basic rules of customer service. Creating new ways to BENEFICIALLY communicate is always a challenge. Have a discussion with your customers and use the information in your database to help you define what factors are valuable to your customer and decide what information should be sent based on what occurrence. That is, as a field of information in your database is added or changed or a date/time threshold has been met, it can trigger an email, an item being posted to a web site, a text, a calendar event, or the creation of a personalized URL resulting in a custom and dynamic web page. It can be asynchronous (one-way) or suggest a response of some kind. The response might point your customer to a custom and secure web page dynamically created for their benefit. Your customer is made aware of something they did not know, they are given an opportunity to look further using your supplied link if that is appropriate or they can file the notification away for future use or research. in the end, you are promoting great communication and possibly interaction with your customer. All that is required is the functionality and a set of adjustable event rules and options. Examples would be delivery notifications, product availability, monthly tonnage reports, order confirmations, notification of impending storage charges, expiration of free time notice, over due invoice notices, inventory on-hand notices, shipment confirmations, transport delay notifications, high balance notifications, volume driven special offers, service evaluations, customer service response survey, service level updates, or a simple thank you.

One of the largest is the Basilica di Santa Maria Maggiore or Basilica of St. Mary Major. 300 feet long, 260 feet wide and 246 feet high. Major, because it is the largest of the twenty-five churches dedicated to Mary. It is one of only four major Basilica's in Rome and is used by the Pope when he presides over the Feast of the Assumption of Mary. Pope Francis visited here on his first full day as pontiff.
fierce undercurrent of darkness. This fountain is in the Piazza della Rotonda just outside the Pantheon. It is called Fontana del Pantheon and it was designed by Giacomo Della Porta in 1575 and sculpted by Leonardo Sormani. 
Salerno south of Naples (Napoli). It is a mountain surrounded by a valley leading to the sea. The hill rises to about 3,000 feet and provides near perfect conditions for hang gliding as the heat from the valley and the ocean breezes can keep those daring enough in the air for a long time.
