Though many companies still rely mostly on email to target their audience with offers, there is a faster and more reliable way to reach consumers. Right in their pocket. By choosing SMS campaigns for your marketing campaigns this Christmas, you’re choosing a significantly higher open rate. SMS messages have a staggering open rate of 98%. Therefore, you can be sure that your message is read by practically all receivers. The vast majority of these messages are read within just a few minutes. That means that, if you time your messages well, your customers are sure to receive your message. Loud and clear!
Not only are most SMS messages read within just a few minutes, consumers also tend to save your messages on their phone. That means that if you send a coupon via SMS, your customer will have your coupon on him at all times. That includes the time when he’s actually doing his shopping. That in contradiction to the printed coupon, which often ends up in the bin. Remind your receiver of the SMS coupon that’s burning a hole in his pocket by drawing attention to this discount ticket on your website and/or brick-and-mortar stores. That way, you’ll see sales increase in no time.
An additional benefit of the strategy I’ve mentioned above, is that consumers whose number you do not have yet, might be tempted to opt-in for marketing messages if that means they will then also gain access to that SMS coupon for a discount. This way, you’ll gain new contacts you can target with your mobile marketing campaigns in the future. Whether it be via digital marketing efforts or using short codes. It's an easy way to grow your reach through SMS marketing this Christmas.
If the customer does have a question or a complaint, make sure he can easily reach you the way he wants. More and more consumers use their mobile phone as their main point of contact. That includes contact with companies. That doesn’t only mean that consumers want to be able to call or email you, but consumers also expect to reach you through the many available chat apps. Facebook Messenger, Twitter, Telegram, WeChat, and so on. If you want to get customer care right, you need to be available on all these channels. And you must be available instantly. To help you realise this, a smart omnichannel strategy with just the right channels is key.

Leali'ifano wants to wrap up a knockout present for Ulster

Now we can run `lda` again without cross validation to see the actual discriminants and how the different categories of `gear` are structured:
    **> d <- lda(gear ~ ., data = mtcars)**
    **> plot(d)**
The numbers in the preceding plot stand for the cars in the `mtcars` dataset presented by the actual number of gears. It is really straightforward that the elements rendered by the two discriminants highlight the similarity of cars with the same number of gears and the difference between those with unequal values in the `gear` column.
These discriminants can be also extracted from the `d` object by calling `predict`, or can directly be rendered on a histogram to see the distribution of this continuous variable by the categories of the independent variable:
    **> plot(d, dimen = 1, type = "both" )**
Although logistic regression was partly covered in Chapter 6"), _Beyond the Linear Trend Line (authored by Renata Nemeth and Gergely Toth)_ , as it's often used to solve classification problems we will revisit this topic again with some related examples and some notes on—for example—the multinomial version of logistic regression, which was not introduced in the previous chapters.
Our data often does not meet the requirements of the _discriminant analysis_. In such cases, using logistic, logit, or probit regression can be a reasonable choice, as these methods are not sensitive to non-normal distribution and unequal variances within each group; on the other hand, they require much larger sample sizes. For small sample sizes, discriminant analysis is much more reliable.
As a rule of thumb, you should have at least 50 observations for each independent variable, which means that, if we want to build a logistic regression model for the `mtcars` dataset as earlier, we will need at least 500 observations—but we have only 32.
To this end, we will restrict this section to one or two quick examples on how to conduct a logit regression—for example, to estimate whether a car has automatic or manual transmission based on the performance and weight of the automobile:
    **> lr <- glm(am ~ hp + wt, data = mtcars, family = binomial)**
    **> summary(lr)**
    ****
    **-2.2537  -0.1568  -0.0168   0.1543   1.3449**
    **Estimate Std. Error z value Pr( >|z|)   **
    **(Intercept) 18.86630    7.44356   2.535  0.01126 ***
    **hp           0.03626    0.01773   2.044  0.04091 ***
    **wt          -8.08348    3.06868  -2.634  0.00843 ****
    **Null deviance: 43.230  on 31  degrees of freedom**
    **Residual deviance: 10.059  on 29  degrees of freedom**
    **AIC: 16.059**
    **Number of Fisher Scoring iterations: 8**
The most important table from the preceding output is the coefficients table, which describes whether the model and to the value of the independent variable. We can conclude that:
  * A 1-unit increase of horsepower increases the log odds of having a manual transmission (at least back in 1974, when the data was collected)
  * A 1-unit increase of weight (in pounds), on the other hand, decreases the same log odds by 8
It seems that, despite (or rather due to) the low sample size, the model fits the data very well, and the horsepower and weight of the cars can explain whether a car has an automatic transmission or manual shift:
    **> table(mtcars$am, round(predict(lr, type = 'response')))**
    **0  1**
    **0 18  1**
    **1  1 12**
But running the preceding command on the number of gears instead of transmission would fail, as logit regression by default expects a dichotomous variable. We can overcome this by fitting multiple models on the data, such as verifying whether a car has 3/4/5 gears or not with dummy variables, or by fitting a multinomial logistic regression. The `nnet` package has a very convenient function to do so:
    **> library(nnet) **
    **> (mlr <- multinom(factor(gear) ~ ., data = mtcars)) **
    **# weights:  36 (22 variable)**

When you are shooting from a distance and require accuracy on your shot, you must have a crossbow scope to ensure you don't miss your target. The best hunting scopes benefit from shooting a few yards, resulting in a quick and silent kill with more meat for dinner.
For the best hunting scopes, many shooters prefer high-quality and durable hunting scopes such as Viper Scope Lens, Viper Scope Lens 1 3/8 inches, etc., to make sure the target is hit correctly.
Even though your crossbow might already contain a scope with a red light sight or a laser sight for better and enhanced hunting scope. While using a specialized hunting scope will enable you to experiment with your aiming capabilities.
Many professional shooters and hunters experiment with the best hunting scopes to analyze the efficiency and reliability of a hunting scope. Thus, constant analysis and playing with different magnifications is an area of interest of almost every shooter.
Apart from the hunting scopes, many other crossbow accessories benefit the experience of a shooter. Not only do they improve the precision and accuracy in aiming, but they also stimulate various dimensions of a shooting world.
After selecting from the best hunting scopes, crossbow broadheads get the attention of shooters. Obviously, these broadheads are the reason behind laying the turkey or deer down in one go.
 They are strong enough to take down an elk or a wild turkey. Although crossbow broadheads come in different types and shooters, choose them according to their shooting games.
Another necessity for shooting is a crossbow quiver. It enhances the accuracy of a crossbow and helps in better aiming. Hunters choose the quiver according to their wishes. Some carry it on a belt, while others prefer the crossbow, but it must be strong enough to hold the broadheads like G5 Head Loc Crossbow Quiver, which can hold up to 6 arrows.
If your hunting game requires a lot of walking, you must have a crossbow sling to free your hands for a bit of time. With them, you don't have to put your crossbow down and look into your binoculars for locating the target.
You will need a crossbow case if you have to travel a bit along with your crossbow. They protect your crossbow from damage and ensure you get it as it is when needed. Also, the crossbow case will help in accommodating various accessories in it. To guide your more about it, we have gathered the best crossbow cases to choose from.
What's the Need for Crossbow Accessories?
While going for a hunting game, the adventure will not be enjoyable if you don't have essential accessories. Each accessory has a distinct purpose and adds value in aiming the target with high accuracy and bringing more meat to the table. Thus, if you plan to go on a hunting adventure, don't forget to take all essential accessories.

Are you selling something?Do you want someone to buy it?
Previously standard google shopping will allow you to show up for particular terms, you might be selling Mens Red T-Shirts or a Nokia 3310 in Yellow, and you can show the exact advert to that customer. However, some customers don't know what they want yet and so may search for more generic terms like "coat", in which case you may want to "showcase" all products that are coats in one go?See what I did there?
Google Shopping Showcase ads allow you to cluster product ranges together, so a customer is able to browse your products together rather than individuallyo a customer, and best of all you only pay if they land on your site not if they click through to view the range – winner!
This is another new Google Campaign type which combines standard Google Shopping, Showcase, Display and GSP advertising coupled with machine learning. It does have a few requirements in terms of previous performance of historical shopping campaigns, which I suggest you look into first!
Once this is working it can mean minimal campaign management by just uploading assets and connecting feeds. So far the jury is still out with regards to performance against traditional campaigns, but I do suspect over time this will be the go to campaign – watch this space!
Suppose the only question left now is; which one do you try first?

Hi my name is Marnee and I was born in Guelph Ontario, but lived in a town called Acton, most of my childhood. We had a ‘hobby’ farm and this is where I grew up and gained my love of horses. As a youngster I showed ponies at the local fairs. We did very well but I was not really interested showing at the time. My first horse my dad bought for me in my late teens. Her name was Roxie. A few years later I decide to broaden my skills and took riding lessons. I raised a foal, called her Miss Leah and showed her. At the age of 25 I had to say good-bye to my friend and ‘teacher’, I learned so much from her. She became very ill with arthritis.
As I was growing up I was taught to get an education, a job and stick with it. Even if this means long hours, so be it. Sure I became very devoted to my jobs, reliable and work very hard, but I was getting nowhere and this is not what I wanted.
I love the outdoors, antiques and travelling. At one time I had the opportunity to do this. Almost every year I was planning a trip. I feel everyone should travel. There is so much to see and learn.
My parents remarried and both had children from their first marriage. Altogether I have 5 brothers and 3 sisters we are not close, and this is very unfortunate. I have a daughter and granddaughter who are so important to me. My daughter’s name is Cassandra and my granddaughter’s name is Aaliyah. My daughter followed my footsteps for the love of horses. She took riding lessons for several years. Now she is preparing herself  for University, going through as an RN. My granddaughter I call her my ‘little sunshine’.
My dad was always working so I never really knew him. He always called me his ‘little girl’ and he passed on his love of horses and knowledge to me. My dad had 2 jobs for several years. My grandfather, uncle, and my dad owned a dairy when I was younger. It was called the Masales Dairy. My dad used the milk wagon with a horse called Nell. She was so remarkable. I could tell you a lot of stories about her. She was on her route for 16 years and she retired at 21. She retired and was with us on our farm till she was 25.
My dad rode and showed a lot till he started his family. He was an awesome rider but very set in his ways. The “Old School” way, learn everything on your own.  My dad would not have any training or riding lessons. He did not believe in this, this was a waste of time and money. This is why I waited till I was older to take lessons and start showing again.
Growing up I was not close to my mom, until I was in my 20s, then we became very close and great friends. She was a very gifted lady. She was a hairdresser, chef, did oil and toll painting, refinished furniture which she taught me. She loved reading, gardening, and she enjoyed riding horses as well. She also had her own business with my one sister, called the Old Tyme Shop. I remember her always saying treat people the way you want to be treated. Treat everyone equal. She always told me I was so different from my brothers and sisters, but I never knew what she meant, but I think I understand now. I am not scared to take risks, challenges and very seldom give up.  I am very tired of my 9 to 5 job because I am getting no where. Always wishing I had more money, and time but it never happened… At one point I had 3 jobs but usually had 2.  No time for my family, friends or myself.
About a year ago I started looking for new challenges.  I wanted financial freedom, to spend more time with my family, travel, and volunteer again. Above all I wanted to be my own boss. So I decided to take the ‘plunge’ and start my own online business.
I admit I was nervous, in fact terrified wondering how to do it. Computers and I really did not get along. I was afraid of them, but I began learning every day to master them.
I can also relate and understand if time is an issue, especially if you have a full time job. The way I see it is my 9 to 5 job interferes with my business, I just think of the end results and make a point to spend a certain amount of time per week on your business and be consistent. Yes it will take longer to build your business but be patient.
We all have dreams and goals, picture them, believe in yourself, and do not give up.  Our purpose in life is totally up to us. Our life is what we have created. It is our choice. Follow your likes, goals, dreams and what you want in life… We all deserve to be happy, add value, and be the best we can.

Even broken spirit houses should be placed somewhere appropriate like the ones underneath the sacred fig tree on Pattaya’s Buddha Hill.

It would appear that these Thai Spirit Houses have been casually dumped here, being right on the side of a remote road it is probably the work of a fly tipper.

 </s> Parvo in Dogs: What Every Dog Owner Should Know
Parvovirus is the name given to both an unpleasant and potentially deadly canine disease and the virus that causes it.
Parvovirus (also known as CPV or “parvo” for short) is most commonly experienced in high-density locations like boarding kennels and doggie parks where one carrier animal may rapidly infect other animals.
Parvovirus Risks
The severity of the disease is also why many countries require dogs to be fully vaccinated before allowing entry. As a result, if you plan to take your dog abroad ensuring that it has had the vaccine should be considered a priority in order to protect both your dog and those of others.
It is important to note that the virus is incredibly tough and, unlike many other viruses, can survive outside the canine body for long periods of time. Most experts agree that the virus is capable of lying dormant in the environment for months or even years.
For this reason if parvovirus is suspected complete isolation for the dog is essential, as is careful bio-control to prevent the virus infecting other animals.
The primary source of distress in parvovirus cases is severe enteritis (swelling of the intestine). This typically leads on to secondary symptoms including lethargy and severe vomiting and diarrhoea (often with signs of blood).
To be certain of a diagnosis it will be necessary for a vet to test your pet. If you are concerned it is worth telephoning your vet immediately; whilst an early diagnosis is important, you also don’t want to risk infecting other dogs when attending the surgery.
Fortunately these days most puppies are immunized against canine parvovirus. If in doubt,vaccination. Boosters are likely to be required from time to time in order to maintain full protection against the virus.
If ever there was a good reason to maintain an effective vaccination program for your dog it is canine parvovirus. Left untreated, this highly contagious disease can lead to a painful and unpleasant end for your best friend. Don’t take risks with your pet’s health just to save a few pounds on the cost of v

Last week, we looked at the subjects we covered here on The Connected Battlefield in the first half of the year. This week, as the year draws to a close, we look at what was hot over the past six months.
There can be few involved in military embedded computing who are not, as a minimum, intrigued by the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to bring remarkable new capabilities to the warfighter. July saw us discussing deep learning and its relationship with object detection. What’s making AI feasible as a deployable reality is GPU technology – notably, that from NVIDIA with whom we have a very close working relationship. At Abaco, we specialize in taking that technology and making it rugged enough to withstand the rigors of the battlefield in products like the GVC1000.
Not all of our posts are centered on our products, however. Many of them discuss more conceptual issues such as the principles behind new product development and design -  a topic we covered in July -  market and technology trends, how technology partnerships work, what COTS really means, cyber security, system reliability and so on.
An example is a post from August, in which we charted developments in processor technology- another 2-parter. The value in these posts was that they provided developers with useful information and, yes, a recurring word when it comes to The Connected Battlefield: insight.
September saw us lifting the lid on one of the most significant announcements Abaco has made: our Lightning mission ready systems. As our blogger wrote at the time: “What we’re doing with Lightning is to provide our customers with all the functional advantages of an in-house developed system – but at a fraction of the cost and in a fraction of the time. Customers can simply tell us exactly what they want, and we can show them exactly how we can deliver it - cost-effectively and quickly.”
Having announced the Lightning platform, it was no time at all before we launched the first two products to be based on it – the GVC2000 Rugged HPEC Display Computer and the MCS1000. The ‘big deal’ about Lightning is that, by using Abaco’s patented MMS technology, it gives customers access to literally hundreds of thousands of I/O combinations – often one of the biggest  challenges in getting a new system out of the door – off the shelf. I/O was a subject we returned to in October when we launched the FMC422 Camera Link FMC.
The same month saw us returning to the topic of AI – this time, in the context of autonomous vehicles. They’re a hot topic in the wider automotive world, and the developments taking place there can certainly be leveraged by the military – not least because the challenges of mission critical robust reliability are all but identical. A subsequent post revisited this, mentioning in passing Elon Musk’s thoughts on the opportunities and challenges presented by AI.
As the year draws to a close, we wanted to thank you for being a visitor to The Connected Battlefield. (And if you’re not yet a subscriber – see “Stay in the Loop” on the right hand side of the page.) Hopefully, you’ve found it informative and useful – and occasionally entertaining and amusing.
We’ll be here in 2018: same time, same place. Happy New Year!

In 1958 she entered the Secondary Industrial School of Graphic Arts in Hellichova Street - the field of applied photography. She graduated in 1962 and immediately began making a living as a photographer. At first she worked for the Poděbrady glassworks. In 1964, she began working for where she remained until 1991.

Discussions about the connection between microbiota and mental health complications have been going on for a long time. There is more or less agreement on the existence of gut-brain axis in the scientific community: when a substance produced by bacteria in the gut can cross the blood-brain barrier and induce NMDA-glutamate receptor modulation5, which in turn trigger the activation of dopaminergic systems. There are experimental data when application of gut-derived substance produced in animals causes behaviors similar to both epilepsy and autism6.
It is known that in human microbiota, due to certain evolutionary conditions, one of the dominant places among bacteria is occupied by Clostridium species. This seems to be related to the change (impoverishment) of the diet of the immediate human ancestor about 7-13 million years ago7.
In addition, there are data on the association of epilepsy, Parkinson's, and intestinal microbiota in the elderly, when a reduction

However, it causes the increase of accumulation of exposure dose on mask, which induces the mask CD growth. This issue has been reported as the radiation damage and brought the low yield of device chips [1, 2, 3]. As the solution, the radiation damage can be reduced by the ultra extreme dry air in exposure tool . It is difficult to adopt dry air to all exposure tool due to cost. In this work, we tried to solve the radiation damage from photomask making approach. The attenuated phase-shift mask (att. PSM) was chosen for this evaluation because its damage is severest. The test plates of att. PSM were exposed by ArF laser, and the amount of CD degradation and the composition change in damage area were investigated. By the analyses of TEM and EDX, it was confirmed that the root cause of radiation damage is oxidation of MoSi film. Therefore, the approaches from mask process and material were tried to prevent MoSi film from oxidation. As a result, the approach from mask material, especially modification of MoSi film is effective. And the characteristics of new MoSi film, such as CD performances, cross section, and cleaning durability, were compared with conventional att. PSM. These results show the characteristics of two masks are equivalent. Att. PSM with new MoSi film is promising solution to improve radiation damage. </s> it's not just a saying.

Centrist Democrats Pose a Significant Roadblock to Biden’s Radical Climate Plans
They say Biden’s preference for using mandates, regulations, and federal spending to reduce fossil fuel use will be a tough sell for members such as Joe Manchin, the coal-state senator from West Virginia who is poised to lead the Senate Energy Committee.
“There is a difference between aspirations and platforms and actual making of laws,” said former Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu of Louisiana, who opposed cap-and-trade. “When you are making laws, you have to consider different views between the parties and different regional views that have nothing to do with party.

Doc Searls on blogging vs. journalismAfter the recent Forbes: Attack of the Blogs article, the blogosphere exploded in discussion about the article. Perhaps this was Dan Lyons intended effect after all, like yelling "fire" in a crowded theatre. Ten days later, the hue and cry has mostly passed, though I am still getting pings and mails ("Did you know you were in Forbes magazine?"). At this point, while I don't think my dad has seen it yet, a lot of others have. There have also been some interesting comments about the print edition , the criticism of the Lotus community, and a notable omission..
Bloggers realize they have an accountability to their readers that is different than mainstream media. I'm not talking about some of the blogs that have become online magazines, but rather name-brand bloggers. Searls captured this thought in his e-mail, too, as he describes the "sovereign nature" of a blog:
My blog is my domain. It is the unfiltered (except by myself) source of what I alone think and say. Before blogging, we didn't have that.If an individual blogger writes a one-sided story, he/she can expect to be criticized for it -- either on their own site or on other blogs. They can expect their credibility to take a hit. They can expect their readership to change (in most cases, to drop).
Searching on the title of the article and the article's author reveals a huge buildup of sovereign voices dissecting and deconstructing the article. I have seen a bunch of those searches land here on edbrill.com. Not only is the article not being taken at face value, the characterization of the players within it, including myself, isn't either. And thus, powerfully, the one-sided nature of a traditional journalist's article has been revealed and deflated-- by the very technology being attacked.

FST: How do you look at thirst, Mr. Wiersig?


In India, the renter is expected to pay for the repairs on their landlord’s house.
All of this internal household chaos is set to the external soundtrack of a symphony of cement mixers and crying babies at the job-site ten feet below our window. The same architecture that lets in air and light now also lets in dust and noise – copious amounts of both.
B) Our refrigerator hasn’t worked for more than a month now.
Last week I set out rat traps, and caught two big juicy brown rats the first night. When I came downstairs in the morning Rathnama, apparently unclear on the end goal, was sitting on the floor next to the trap feeding the rat pieces of chapatti through the bars.
The bag was moving.
“Rats!” Rathnama said, proudly, and held up nine fingers.
Rathnama picked up the bag, giggling, and launched it over the fence, to the construction site next door.
The latest “repair people” promised to come this weekend; this has been going on for more than 4 weeks now. I waited five days for their initial visit, which yielded three small brown men looking at the black monolith like they were auditioning for 2001. Or maybe Zoolander.
When I cook, which is more and more often, the menu is limited by the availability of ingredients, the lack of an oven, and the fact that cooking bores me. I make college student dinners; Top Ramen glammed up with vegetables; spaghetti, sans parmesan, olives, sausage, etc.; when I run across chicken that doesn’t look too scary I make fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and carrots. With quite a lot of effort, I can fake Mexican food, though we have to blanch the salsa so it won’t make us sick.
On Monday morning the repairmen show up at the door. By the time I come downstairs in my bathrobe there are three men in the dining room, plus Moustaq, our driver. The fridge men leer at me, practically drooling. Moustaq steps between them and me, in a protective gesture. He hands me a bill.
In India, finding a new American family is like catching a Leprechaun. There is a three- or four-month window when we still think in dollars and translate to rupees and every purchase feels like you are kicking ass at a Monopoly game. Money falls out of your pockets as you walk down the street, you don’t care because the denominations are so insignificant. It doesn’t even seem odd that there are three different 2 rupee coins. This is all tremendously beneficial to the lucky locals who stumble upon the leprechaun. But after a while, you just can’t help but catch on.
“Medam,” Moustaq translates, “He come today after four. If he cannot arrive after four today he will arrive the next day after or before at eleven itself.”
Moustaq’s English is much better than most, but he tends to get some of the basics mixed up – “before” and “after,” “inside” and “outside,” “come,” “go.”
“Why can’t he fix it now?” I ask.
“You’re not going to do the repair because the fridge smells bad?”
“Just leave the door open one day, I come back.”
“Do you have the needful part with you?”
“Just one day, ma’am. Open door one day, I come back.”
“After one week, ma’am, worms arrive,” Repairman continues.
“Yes,” I growl. “We know.”
“We are cleaning it right now,” I say. “It’ll be done in two minutes.”
I can’t believe I just said that. I hear that phrase, “Just two minutes, just two minutes ma’am,” several times every day. Ordering lunch, at the pharmacy, the tailor, everywhere.
And it is never, ever, two minutes.
There is no way I’m letting this man out of my house before he has repaired the refrigerator. I am prepared to duct tape him to a dining room chair if that’s what it takes.
As if on cue, the electricity goes out.
Sometimes you surrender, sometimes you just give up. I’m not sure which I’ve just done. They say when you surrender, you open yourself up to the next layer of India, the good one, the magical one, the layer that contains trace elements of enlightenment.
“Just two minutes, ma’am,” India replies.

"I always do my best to promote other local businesses, so if I buy something from I will do a 'show and tell' on social media because I know what a difference it makes when people do that for me," she explained.
"I trained as a teacher originally and knew that I wanted a change for several years.
"I took a long time to consider what I wanted to achieve and what I was suited to before deciding in what type of shop I would open.
The former maths teacher quickly realised that social media was a vital tool for any modern business.
"I would really like to help other people and I suppose from my own point of view it's no good for my business if other businesses in the city are closing down," explained Mary.
"On opening, I thought the biggest struggle would be setting up my own website and learning the digital side of things.

Three dogs, no teeth: Our neighbor who rescues geriatric dogs
J
The dog had yeast and fungal infections all over her body.
“She stank so bad that I had to roll down all the windows and open the sunroof just to take her to the vet,” Svelan says. “Fleas were jumping all over her. The vet thought her legs were broken, but it was just that all that gunk was caked.”
The 16-year-old still battles skin problems constantly. But she is the boss of the house, and the other two dogs follow her around and defer to her power.
He was heartworm positive, had intestinal worms and a tumor growth on his leg.
His teeth were rotted, and he wasn’t neutered.
“I might’ve had one or two glasses of wine,” Svelan says. “I said ‘I’ll take him,’ and I picked him up the next morning.”
“I don’t do so well with fostering. I’ve already failed twice,” she says. “I don’t need another dog.”
Vets had to perform two mouth surgeries, one to remove part of his jaw and one to pull the rest of his teeth. Now he drools constantly and gets food everywhere, but he loves life.
Skywalker is terrified of Svelan’s feral cat, Harvey, that lives on the back porch.
“Seniors have medical issues. There’s always something. Ellie gets baths regularly because of her skin ails. Otis is on medications,” she says. “But, my God, I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

The state said no for the third time to a proposal for a Hebrew-language charter high school in Highland Park, citing unspecified “deficiencies” in the latest application.
She is unsure whether she will reapply. “There’s always a possibility,” she said.
The rejection came despite the fact that organizers received a $200,000 seed defended the grant in response to questions from The Star-Ledger, saying the department does not require grantees to have state approval before they apply for seed money.
According to the letter signed by acting NJ education commissioner Christopher Cerf, the application had undergone “a comprehensive review” by department teams.
The letter did not elaborate on those deficiencies, in line with department policies, said spokesman Richard Vespucci.
Akman said she is taking a positive view of the latest events, particularly the Highland Park schools’ efforts to address student interests, including offering Hebrew as a foreign language at Highland Park High School. Vespucci said the education department was not aware of another high school in the state offering Hebrew.
Tikun Olam hoped to serve up to 100 students from Edison, Highland Park, and New Brunswick. It would have been the state’s first Hebrew-language charter high school. Its proposal was last turned down in January.

Born and raised in Regina, Jordan Marlin started life after high school graduation like many others – he got a job working for Telus, but quickly realized that there was something missing. He didn’t feel content. He felt as though he should be doing something more – that he should be pursuing a passion, and that passion is Digital Filmmaking.
Once he came to this conclusion, he made one of the biggest life decisions he’d ever have to make. He packed up his things and decided to move to Kelowna to pursue Digital Filmmaking at Centre for Arts and Technology.
Having always been somewhat of an entertainer, Jordan quickly made strong bonds with his classmates and instructors. As time went on, Jordan began to feel increasingly comfortable being the center of attention which led him to thrive in the Digital Filmmaking program.
Jordan became the student leadership council rep for the Filmmaking program and has since completed the Digital Filmmaking program.
Jordan claims he learned everything he needs to know to succeed in the industry from CATO. We couldn’t feel more privileged to have such an energetic, creative and inspiring stud

Native American Slavery Slavery in the colonies was inevitable, but we seem to forget that Native American’s were the first to actually be enslaved by the colonists rather than the Africans. They were not treated as equals, nor respected, their land was stripped away from them bit by bit, and the only reason why they were not used as slaves throughout the majority of America’s history, was due to the fact that an unimaginable amount of them died from foreign diseases; that of which Africans had already been exposed to, due to contact with Europeans for centuries. Now, to begin, it’s quite obvious that African American slavery was deemed as more marketable in many respects throughout America’s history; due to popularity, prosperity, necessity, and the entire timeline of such an epidemic. But our culture seems to consistently disregard our nation’s first enslavement of an entire civilization; as if their existence was mutually respected by the entirety of the colonists, when in reality that fantasy is merely a lie. Native American slavery in regards to its histor (less than important in the grand scheme of it all) in that i oppression, or also, because it was a curious but minor contrast on the more important enslavement of the African people on colonial plantations (Native American Slavery, by Michael Guasco).

Native Americans, or Indians, as they were mistakenly called, have been the “pathetic footnotes to the main course of American history” (Axtell 981). But James Axtell, the author of s, would beg to differ. He says that instead, Indians played a key role in making America great’s greatness: America’s “exceptionalism.” Throughout his article Axtell makes many points as to why Indians
Nce. When stories of past battles are retold, only one side of the tale gets told, the victor’s side. In history, the ones who have been defeated never get to present their perspective of the tragic quarrels. Most never even lived to tell the stories, but the ones who do survive are not thought of as important accounts in history.
The American Of Native American History Essay
Long before Europeans landed on the east coast of the American continent, native peoples were living and thriving across the land. This is historical fact that is taught in schools across the country. However, much of the rest of Native American history that we are exposed to in schools really does not reflect truth. While the broad lessons capture parts of the story, the reality is that much of the history is distorted and paints an inaccurate picture of the tribes and how they were treated by settlers
Racism has been around as long as we have, you could argue that it is a part of human nature- but is it? It all started with slavery; it was custom to use African Americans for a wealthy, white man’s dirty work. Later, the government called for the relocation and removal of the Native Americans to small reservations, so the european settlers could steal their land, and hunt the native animal species’ that the indian’s relied so heavily on to near extinction. Many of the indians on the reservations died

, two more churches burned in three days. On Labor Day, an office building was set on fire. After a few more fires, with targets ranging from a bakery to a lumber company, on September 19, the arsonist struck at an occupied residence as a family slept inside. Both parents, a nine-year-old, and an infant were able to escape just in time. This was just one of four occupied homes targeted that night.
This case was complicated because of the range of targets. If someone is specifically torching predominantly black Baptist churches, while you don't necessarily have the real, underlying motive, you've certainly got the apparent motive, and you can use your profile to start narrowing down suspects. But here we were dealing with almost every kind of building you could think of, and most alarming, there seemed to be a progression, an evolution, in his work.
Generally, by the time detectives or arson investigators pick up on the linkage between several fires, the UNSUB is well into his series. Certainly, we figure, he will have set other fires as a child or teen that no one knows about or connects.
Then, on September 22, the stakes changed further. When the Four Freedoms House retirement home went up in flames, three elderly women died. This fire was initially ruled accidental, but when we looked at the pattern of fires and saw that there were two other probable arsons that same night, we couldn't rule out that the Four Freedoms fire was intentional. If that was true and it was the same UNSUB, we were no longer dealing with a destroyer of property; we were hunting for a killer.
Since the Four Freedoms House fire had not been ruled an arson, police couldn't be sure this UNSUB had caused any deaths yet, but the property damage was already in the tens of millions of dollars. As the case wore on, a special investigative group was established, headed up by Whetsel and Seattle Fire Department lieutenant Randy Litchfield. It was made up of police and fire department personnel from several jurisdictions, and called the Sno-King Arson Task Force, since most of the fires had occurred in Snohomish and King counties. The task force instituted a toll-free tip line, and they even got a police helicopter up with infrared thermal imaging equipment, trying to spot the arsonist while he was actually at work. The task force gave him the code name Specteuspicion that Four Freedoms might be a related arson was encouraged when the Anderson Retirement Home burned less than a week later, on September 28. Fortunately, a sprinkler system kept the fire from getting out of control, and the investigating team finally got some physical clues to work with. Evidence there suggested that the arsonist removed a window screen, climbed through, and lit a bedspread. There were two fingerprints on the screen, but they didn't match anything on file.
The stepped-up pace. In October another home in Lynnwood started burning as a family with seven children slept inside, then six more fires erupted the same night within Snohomish County Fire District Number 1. Around 3 A.M., neighbors of ninety-three-year-old Helen Allen saw her house in flames, broke in, and got her out safely. Altogether, twelve fires had been set within a four-hour period.
But there was another potential breakthrough that night. A couple in a car noticed a well-dressed man get out of a sedan and walk between two houses while talking into a cellular phone. He returned and drove off, and a couple of minutes later, flames broke out. The couple called the fire department, then reported the man's physical description to detectives. Lieutenant Litchfield realized that the suspect was not using a mobile telephone at all, but listening to a police scanner.
November 2 saw fires at another residence and two more warehouses. That same night a man walking home from a bar noticed a car (which police determined from his description to be a Chrysler-made vehicle) make a sharp U-turn and duck into a side street. A few minutes later, he saw fire engines arrive at the scene. The witness stated that the car appeared to be new and had temporary tags and a Chrysler advertising card in the window. Under Dane Whetsel's direction, detectives followed up on every Chrysler dealership in the area and any advertising agency that might have made up the card. Nothing panned out.
Another possible sighting occurred on November 17 when a woman in a phone booth almost a hundred miles southeast of Seattle noted a man near a vacant building. As in the previous sightings, soon smoke and flames began billowing out and the man quickly left. She called the police, who immediately put out a description of the man's car that a police officer in nearby Cle Elum picked up. He saw such a car pull into an Exxon station. The driver was well-dressed, though, and didn't strike the officer as looking like an arsonist. Another witness, Bonnie Spurrier, saw a man get out of a car and stand near her as she was watching firefighters battle a blaze. His demeanor was suspicious and she gave investigators a description that led to a sketch.
Late in November a fire was set in the garage of an elderly couple's home. And in December there was a blaze at a boat storage facility. The couple who ran it lived upstairs and barely escaped. The geographical range of the fires was more than thirty miles, all the way down to Tacoma. Neighborhood watch groups were set upy.
The local investigators had come up with some interesting and significant findings. Nearly all the fires believed to be part of the series were lit between waist and chest height, instead of right on the ground or floor. Also, none of the fires was set during bad weather. Both of these facts led investigators to conclude that the offender liked to keep clean. Witnesses had given detectives descriptions of generic American cars leaving the scenes. Since the cars could easily have been fleet vehicles, there was some thought that the UNSUB might be a traveling salesman.
When Dane Whetsel contacted Quantico and asked Gus Gary and the unit to get involved, we brought the series up at one of our regular case consultations, where we get as many of the agents as we can around a table to listen to the presentation, ask questions, critique the lead agent's analysis, and share their own ideas. As with any other set of serial crimes, you try to figure out what the pattern means—in other words, what can we say about the evolution of the offenses?
The first thing you look at in an arson series is whether the targets were occupied, or whether the offender would have reason to believe they were when he set each fire. If he's targeting unoccupied buildings, you've got more of a nuisance-type offender, regardless of the cost of the damage. If he evolves from nonoccupied structures to occupied ones, though, then he's just like any other type of escalating predator. In all likelihood he's nonspecific on victims; if he had a specific victim or series of victims in mind, he wouldn't have stayed with the nuisance stuff very long. Anyone who sets fire to a building that he can reasonably expect to be inhabited at the time is displaying a general level of anger and hostility against society, either for perceived injuries of some sort or simply for not paying proper attention. Arson, like bombing and various other forms of terrorism, is the crime of a coward. It is perpetrated by a person (typically a man) who wants to strike out but does not have the courage—or even the interpersonal skills, for that matter—to face his intended victim nose-to-nose. And in the case of arson, especially, that victim is usually a faceless, sexless cipher in his mind rather than a living, breathing human being.
We speak of these criminals as internalizers, as opposed to externalizers. Both begin with the fantasy. The externalizer acts on it directly. For the internalizer—the arsonist, the bomber—it remains one step removed. The internalizer is the loner, the asocial who has to put d everyone else. Just so you know and understand that there are no simple or absolute formulas in this business, an internalizer can be a rapist or a one-on-one killer. But if he is, the victim is going to be someone obviously smaller, weaker, and/or more vulnerable than he is—someone he doesn't have to deal with on a challenging or even equal basis. The other possibility is that he'


4 Things you would never guess entry-level talent is thinking about
I had the opportunity to sit on an alumni panel at my alma mater that was focused on life after university, where soon-to-be graduates eagerly sought advice about post-grad working life. However, while they picked my brain for answers, I was picking theirs, to gain insight into what is on the minds of the next generation of entry-level talent. Throughout the discussion, the group hit on some key topics that, if used correctly, can provide an edge for finding and recruiting top entry-level talent. Here are my four favorite questions posed by students, which can help you learn how to improve your candidate experience through your entry-level recruiting strategies.
It’s important to point out that, as an intern, you only have so much time and resources to make an impact so you might be more closely managed than full-time employees. Typically, there is a list of tasks to be completed for the day, and once done, it’s time to leave. But as a full-time employee, that’s likely not the case. You are expected to do much more self-management. It’s up to you to take the business goals for the day and break them down into tasks and priorities for yourself.
For entry-level talent recruiters, this is a great way to present specific company perks such as a flexible schedule, paid time off or vacation days. Help candidates see their schedule as an opportunity to dedicate some time to themselves and their interests. With these thoughts from graduating students in your knowledge bank, recruiters can fully tailor the candidate experience to this group of talent. Ultimately, making their employer the employer of choice for recent graduates.

Since you’re considering adopting a rescue pet
- 7 Unexpected benefits
- 1 – Pets from adoption shelters can undergo a foster program to see if they’re a good fit for your home
- 2 – Some animals from the adoption shelter are trained and adjusted to living with a family
- 3 – You save money in the long-run
- 4 – You positively impact society by reducing the statistics of animal cruelty and puppy mills
- - 6 – The adoption shelter will give you an unlimited amount of resources that enable you to become a better and more well-informed owner
- 7- On a concluding note
Other members of the household or family
Do you have roommates, small children, and/or the elderly living with you? It’s important to be in agreement with all members of the household and know that everyone is on board with adopting a pet. The age and personality of an animal is a contributing factor to how well they can get along with everyone else besides you. For example, you should be careful if adopting a puppy when there is a newborn baby or young child present. That’s double the responsibility and stress taking care of two dependent youngsters! If you live with the elderly, such as aging parents or grandparents, they are better suited to be more acquainted with a calm animal as opposed to a rambunctious and hyper one. Other elements to think about can also include a person’s fear of a specific animal or their chronic allergies.
When you finally clock out of work and or wake up to the weekend, how do you spend your free time? If you’re an active individual who loves to be out in nature and exercise, choose a furry companion who would happily do those things with you. Let’s say your preferred animal is a dog. Choose a breed that complements your lifestyle with their characteristics and natural demeanor, such as a Siberian Husky rather than a lapdog like a Toy Poodle. That’s not to say Toy Poodles can’t be active, they simply don’t have as much energy or capacity to exercise for long periods of time! Siberian Huskies need owners who will aide in expelling their energy and stay active alongside them. Ultimately, your lifestyle

So why do Christian Arabs call their God Allah?
Did you ever read Taha Husein or Wansbrough? Surprise surprise but most of the so called al-shi3r al-jahili (oh I forgot that you ain't no Arab well may be you can ask your Mullah to tell you what this means) was made up by the 3Ulama in the 3rd century of islam to tackle issues of garmmar and syntax in the Qur'an that were at variance with good Arabic grammar. And the rule is; this poeptry is anachronistic and suspect unless proven otherwise just like the hadith and the sira in other words; Bogus. How come you did not know that?
 Muhammad, we are told, lived in the Hijaz and I'm talking about the Hijaz. I have no doubt in my mind that Syriac was the most important language in the Middle East in the late antique and Mignana was correct that there is indeed many Syriac words in the Qur'an (eg: Tur, al-Ruum) and it should not be a surpirse that the words Allah/Alaha/Allaha/Elohim have much in common. This does not mean anything more than a common linguistic origin. All four words belong to very close Semitic languages.
