Catherine Brennand

Catherine Brennand (née Bateman) (October 11, 1961 - May 1, 2006) was an English watercolour artist and a prominent member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (RI).
== Life ==
Born in Woking, Surrey, Catherine grew up in a small village in East Kent. She was educated at Dover Girls Grammar School and Bishop Otter College, Chichester.
== Work ==
Brennand became interested in the built environment while working as a technical graphic artist in the construction industry. She developed an individual style and an affinity with methods and materials, enjoying watercolour for its unpredictability and versatility. She won several awards including the Winsor and Newton Young Painters in Watercolour Award, the Frank Herring Award for the best painting of an architectural subject, and the Matt Bruce Memorial Prize "for the most outstanding use of light and colour in watercolours". She was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolours (RI) and from 1996 served on its Council.
Brennand's work was almost universally based on architecture, particularly the buildings of the United Kingdom, Italy, east coast of the United States and the south of France. Her creative process began with taking photographs and sketching outlines of the subject. These were then transformed into underlying, sometimes abstract drawings, before up to 15 layers of superimposed washes of watercolour were applied. This method produced rich colours and tones, while wax resist and tissue collage techniques were combined to add further texture and depth.
Brennand's influences included John Piper, Graham Sutherland, Mark Rothko, and Patrick Heron.
== Later Life ==
In May 1997 Brennand participated in a tour of Israel sponsored jointly by the Linda Blackstone Gallery and the Jewish National Fund. During the trip she gathered resource material for paintings exhibited in April 1998 to celebrate 50 years of the State of Israel.
In February 2006, Brennand held a one woman show Malta, hosted by Hon. Dr Hugo Mifsud Bonnici, President Emeritus.
== Death ==
Brennand was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003. After multiple bouts of radiotherapy and two courses of chemotherapy, she died on 1 May 2006 of complications caused by the disease.

Causal Funnel

Causal Funnel refers to adding causal analysis to any sales and marketing customer funnels, like Purchase funnel, Conversion funnel, AIDA (marketing) funnel.
Causal funnel focuses on adding signals to each step in the funnel, providing reasons for the what made customer to proceed to next step (conversion) and what made them not to proceed to the next step (drop-off).
This analysis could be done for the signals in various stages of the funnel
* Traffic sources
* Top of the funnel (TOFU), awareness stage
* Middle of the funnel (MOFU), consideration stage
* Bottom of the funnel (BOFU), conversion stage
* Re-engagement or repeat customers
== Causal funnel vs typical funnel analysis ==
Causal Funnel analysis differs from typical Funnel analysis. Typical funnel analysis uses a well-structured manner of data collection and then using statistic modeling on this data. It simply provides the conversion and drop-off numbers and high level information in some cases about the customer's attributes. 
The causal funnel on the other hand uses data science with artificial intelligence and machine learning to identify the signals in a particular step of the conversion funnel that makes a consumer proceed to the next step in the funnel. Causal Funnel is based on a large amount of data collection(ref) without any strict structure and it continuously optimizes itself as and when the consumer behavior for conversion evolves with new signals. The (Causal) Impact of Coupons on the Visit-to-Purchase Funnel is well established and there are several other ways in which the visitor could be nudged along the funnel.
== Purpose of causal funnel ==
Causal funnel is useful for any company that offers their product and services online with a clear conversion path. Causal funnel helps online businesses understand and improve their conversion and engagement. It identifies what works and what does not work to help visitors progress from one step to another in the funnel. 
It lets the businesses know:
* Gaps in the services offered
* Information gaps
* Technical issues
* Product offering issues
It provides them with:
* suggestions for changes
* Fixing technical issues
* Expanding product or service offerings
* Focus on signals that causes drop-off

Cayman Islands

The Cayman Islands are a British Overseas Territory that exercises its own kind of self-government. They are also the most populous islands in the western Caribbean Sea. The three islands of Grand Cayman, Cayman Brac, and Little Cayman make up the 264-square-kilometer (102-square-mile) territory known as the Cayman Islands. These islands are situated between Jamaica and the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, to the south of Cuba and to the northeast of Honduras, respectively. George Town, located on Grand Cayman, which is also the most populated of the three islands, serves as the nation's capital.
It is generally accepted that the Cayman Islands are a component of both the Greater Antilles and the Western Caribbean Zone of the Caribbean. Due in significant part to the fact that the state does not levy taxes on any kind of revenue that is made or kept, the territory has become an important offshore financial centre for multinational enterprises and affluent people throughout the globe.
The Cayman Islands have the greatest GDP per capita in the Caribbean, which contributes to their very high level of life. Inhabitants of the Cayman Islands hail from more than 130 different nations and territories throughout the world.
On the Cayman Islands, archaeologists have not been able to find any trace of a previous indigenous population. As a result, it is generally accepted that Christopher Columbus made the discovery of these islands on May 10, 1503, when he was on his last trip to the Americas. However, in the succeeding decades, the islands started to be referred to as the Caimanas or Caymanes, after the caimans that were present there. He named them "Las Tortugas" because of the large number of turtles that were found on the islands; however, these turtles were soon hunted to the point where they were nearly extinct. Following Christopher Columbus's discovery of the Americas, there was no immediate colonisation; however, a variety of settlers from various backgrounds eventually made their home on the islands. These settlers included shipwrecked sailors, pirates, and deserters from Oliver Cromwell's army in Jamaica. In the year 1586, Sir Francis Drake made a quick trip to the islands.
The Cayman Islands have a tropical climate that experiences both wet and dry seasons. The rainy season lasts from May through October, while the dry season lasts from November until April.
During the months of June through November, when the Atlantic hurricane season is in full swing, the formation of tropical cyclones presents a significant risk to human life and property.

Cecily Raynor

Cecily Raynor is an American author and scholar of contemporary Latin American literature and culture. 
She is the author of Latin American Literature at the Millennium: Local Lives, Global Spaces (2021) and co-editor of Digital Encounters: Envisioning Connectivity in Latin American Cultural Production (2023).
 
Raynor is an associate professor of Latin American literature and Digital Humanities at McGill University. 
==Works==
Raynor's first book, Latin American Literature at the Millennium: Local Lives, Global Spaces, (2021) analyzes the relationship between local and global forces in contemporary Latin American cultural production. In it, Raynor argues that contemporary Latin American literature offers distinct narrative modes that configure transformative practices of locality in a globalized world. Through an examination of recent Latin American cultural production– six novels and a play– her book argues that the region's contemporary writing reveals the highly flexible configurations of the local that arise when the experience of place is increasingly transformed by global forces. 
Raynor's second book, Digital Encounters: Envisioning Connectivity in Latin American Cultural Production (2023), is a collection of essays co-edited with Rhian Lewis. The volume examines regional cultural production in an era of unprecedented digital connectivity, in order to reflect upon a world where digital and analog are increasingly entangled. The ramifications of this entanglement include increasingly close interactions with programming languages, new forms of contact between authors and readers, and activist movements that depend on the narrative capacities of social media.
She has published articles in Digital Humanities Quarterly, Arizona Journal of Hispanic Cultural Studies, Portuguese Studies Review, Revista Brasileira de Literatura Comparada,https://revista.abralic.org.br/index.php/revista/article/view/421%7Ctitle=THE DIGITAL RUINS OF AMORES EXPRESSOS|first=Cecily|last=Raynor|date=August 29, 2017 Brasil/Brazil: A Journal of Brazilian Literature, and Estudos de Literatura Brasileira Contemporânea. She has contributed book chapters to Latin American Digital Poetics, Migração e diversidade na narrativa brasileira contemporânea and Urban Spaces in Contemporary Latin American Literature.
==Reception==
Latin American Literature at the Millennium (2021) has received favorable scholarly reviews. Contemporary Brazilian literature scholar, Sophia Beal, remarked that "Raynor's interpretation is radically different [...] Raynor's intervention engages complex geopolitical issues—migration, human trafficking, global trade, and labor—with keen attention to formal experimentation," going on to state that "Raynor possesses an impressive breadth of knowledge of literature written in Spanish and Portuguese."
