What I'm confident I have learned in the past thirty days:
- [Patient Caller] is not "a formal" grimoire spirit, but the format was necessary for me to get my head in the right space to deal with him.
- It's going to take a lot more than what I currently have to do any kind of serious grimoire or Solomonic work for any kind of result.
- Fuck ups have little to no upfront cost. But that first payment is going to bite you in the ass for sure.
- I can face my fears and no one can face them but me.
Despite being told plainly that the cord I had placed for him was useless, I laid it out anyway. It only took twenty-nine days to make it a habit. When he appeared, it was with slow deliberation. Scent being the only marker with both eyes open and eyes closed, then the false flame and smoke. The false smoke bending to coil around a suddenly appearing right little finger before flowing to smother and soak into the small amber piece. Nothing was said for a time.
"I see your clothing has shades of green again."
«From your perspective, yes.»
"Is that your color, then? Or an indulgence towards me?"
He did not answer, but smiled in humor. I had an idea what pun I had just unintentionally made, but I left it on the table between us.
Silence kept us company again. He waited patiently with his hands clasped behind the amber piece. I held the thin brown book in my lap.
"This doesn't seem real. After all I have seen and heard and felt and experienced, today is the day that this doesn't seem real. But your critique of my inventory yesterday left out something very important, and it is the most critical piece of all. The environment. I could spend thirty hours self-critiquing this space, the space I live in, and why not a damn good thing should have happened, except this was the door you have been waiting for me to open."
«It was not necessary. You knew even before you dared to call upon Birto that this place is not beneficial to your goals. It was your hope that your tools would overcome that inadequacy. It is my hope that I have corrected you.»
"Aye. You have."
As part of my preparation for this last ritual, I had retrieved and included with the tools for pre-ritual consecration, the Hierophant (or equivalent) tarot card from the decks I have not yet placed into storage. With formal deliberation, I now took those cards from the thin brown book where I had tucked them for ritual and announced each card as I laid them on the Book of Oberon that served as [Patient Caller's] podium.
- The Hierophant from the Wyzard of Odd tarot.
- Faith from the Legacy of the Divine tarot.
- The Hierophant from the Universal Waite tarot.
- The Hierophant from the Red Magician tarot.
- The Seer from the Fey Tarot.
- The Hierophant from the Bosch Tarot.
- The Hierophant from the Sweeney Tarot.
- The Hierophant from the Stairs of Gold tarot.
"I know the entanglement is already complete, and that we have been bound to each other by mutual agreement. But I do not want to end these thirty days with a mere command to stay out of relative trouble. In lieu of the Apophenia Invitation, which gave you carte blanche to do what the fuck ever until I next summoned you again, I confirm your entanglement with the Hierophant tarot card before giving you license to depart. Before I end this ritual, and with it my obligation, have you anything to say?"
He smiled. «Your wording of the entanglement includes a license to depart. If I were contrary, I could make the argument that your formal license to depart renders moot the command to appear when summoned via the card.» He spread his hands and the rings glittered in the light. «But I am not contrary, and it is the will of my master and the will of the Good Lord God over us both that I do all in my power to help you succeed. I will comply with the command.»
I wanted to say many a dozen expletives at his timing and his smug demeanor. I will save those remarks for after my life settles down.
I placed his amber piece and label on the stack of eight cards beside them. I raised my right hand over it and spoke the entanglement again. I made the sign of the cross over the cards and watched him mirror my movements. Leaving the amber on the cards, I spoke the License to Depart (and noted what he was saying about the nullification of the command). His form dissolved and flowed into the amber and the cards.
I took the black knife and stood. As I slowly turned, I recited Psalm 54 one last time. Facing the table, I said with force, "Go all now in peace." Quietly, I closed the folding knife and began putting away the tools so I could face the day. The useless cord was thrown into my generic craft bag for use with mundane projects. I will prepare the ritual items for storage later.
When I removed the amulet as the very last step in cleaning up, my ears popped and I was chilled as an unseen source of warmth and comfort was removed. I sat in the now clean space and felt like crying. If anyone came in, they would not know what had transpired not even an hour before. My thirty day obligation has been completed.
Time to get in other shit.
Total ritual time: 54 minutes.
Go all now in peace.

Insurance in India > In economic terms, anything used to cut down the risk is known as insurance. But in familiar terms, insurance is provided by an insurance company which covers a person's life (called life segment) or covers loss of assets, property (called non-life or general segment). The insurance policies are purchased at fixed premiums LIC: The life insurance business/industry in the country was nationalised by the Government of India in 1956 and a fully government-owned company, the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) was set up The nationalisation was motivated by twin objectives--first, to spread the message of life insurance for greater social security and secondly, to mobilise people's savings (collected as premiums) for nation building The LIC had been the biggest investor in the governments procces of planned development purchasing government securities (G-Secs.) and equities of the big asset Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs).
GIC In 1971, the government nationalized the private sector companies (107 Indian and foreign companies) playing in the general insurance segment and a government company, the General Insurance Corporation of India (GIC) was formed in 1972. The GIC started operation on January 1, 1973 with its four holding companies: I. National Insurance Company Ltd. Il New India Assurance Company Ltd. IOriental Fire and Insurance Comany Ltd United India Insurance Company Ltd. In the era of economic reforms, two major changes took place in this area- In November 2000, the GIC was notified as the Indian Reinsurer1 (to be known as GIC Re). I. Il. In March 2002 the GIC was withdrawn from holding company status of the four public sector general insurance companies. Now these four companies are directly owned by the Government of India
AICIL: The public sector insurance company, Agriculture Insurance Company of India Limited (AlCIL) was set up by the Government of India in December 2002 (commenced its business in April 2003). This is a dedicated agriinsurance company and aims "to serve the needs of farmers better and to move towards a sustainable actuarial regime" Public Sector Insurance Companies: At present, there are 6 public sector insurance companies in India. Out of it one deals in the life segment (LIC); four are involved in the non-life (general) insurance segment; and one is the dedicated agri-insurer. Other than these companies, there is one re-insurance company, the GIC Re (wholly owned by the Gol) IRDA: The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) was set up in 2000 (the Act was passed in 1999) with one chairman and five members (two as full time and three as part-time members) appointed and nominated by the government. The authority is responsible for the regulation, development and supervision of the Indian insurance industry.

The strike action launched by the estate workers demanding a basic daily wage of Rs 1000, which lasted for 08 days, has been concluded this morning (12).
The leader of the Ceylon Workers Congress (CWC) and Nuwara Eliya District MP Arumugan Thondaman stated that the strike came to an end following the discussion held with President Maithripala Sirisena in this regard.
During the discussion held at the Presidential Secretariat last evening (11), the President had promised a fair basic daily wage for the estate workers and to hold a discussion with the estate owners on December 19, MP Thondaman said.
He further said that the estate workers have decided to conclude the strike action in accordance with the President's request to withdraw from the strike action considering the losses it has been causing to the tea manufacture industry.
Reportedly, the senior leaders of the CWC and Kandy District MP Mahindananda Aluthgamage have also joined the discussion held with the President yesterday.

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. - The number of loggerhead sea turtle nests on the South Carolina coast is down sharply this year but apparently there is no cause for concern.
The Sun News of Myrtle Beach reports that figures from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources show there have been only about 1,700 loggerhead turtle nests recorded this year compared with a record of almost 5,200 a year ago.
Myrtle Beach State Park ranger Ann Malys Wilson says she's not concerned.
"We're in a natural lull," she said. "We've had three really great years for the state. Turtles don't nest every year."
In Horry and Georgetown counties there were 234 nests last year. This year there have been only 58. Wilson didn't receive many calls this spring from volunteers that tracks on the beach indicated the endangered turtles had crawled up onto the beach to lay eggs.
She thought the season might be slow following a cold winter and doesn't expect a spike in new nests this late in the season.
"Usually the season is done by mid-August. We thought perhaps the numbers might start increasing but not anymore," she said.
She said she hopes new federal protections for the turtles will mean strong numbers of nests in the coming years.
Earlier this month almost 700 miles of coastline and nearly 200,000 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico were declared critical turtle habitat by the federal government.
Conservation groups say it's the largest such designation ever.
It includes 88 nesting beaches from North Carolina through Mississippi, plus waters just off of those beaches, floating algae mats where baby turtles live and other marine areas.
The beaches were listed by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the marine habitats by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's fisheries service.

I love working on mood-boards, I can never start a project without it. Today I felt like a grey interior would look nice, as an accent color I added a blush pink only in hints. What is cool about adding color in minimal doses, is that when you tire of a color you can always change it without throwing away anything major. A neutral base is very flexible and forgiving, I loved adding marble, a chevron printed rug, a gorgeous Kelly Wearstler table lamp, some nice table accessories, and a breezy curtain. I curated these online, below you will find details of each item in the collage above and a link in case you would like to purchase!

Minister for Education James Merlino today announced that the land of the new campus has now been purchased and construction will get underway later this year following a $19.7 million funding allocation in the last budget.
The second campus will be built at 30 Ambrosia Way, Beveridge and is set to open in Term 1, 2020, catering for an extra 525 students once completed.
The Victorian School Building Authority will now work with the school and the local community to address questions regarding the logistics of two campuses, transport queries and the condition of the current Beveridge Primary School campus.
The community will also be consulted on the design and focus of the new campus.
The Labor Government is building the Education State so that every student can access a great local school and education, and has invested more than $3.8 billion to improve classrooms, upgrade facilities and build new schools across the state.
This school building boom has delivered more than 1,300 school upgrades and 70 new school projects across the state, supporting more than 5,000 construction jobs for Victorians.
This contrasts with the Liberals and Nationals who let schools crumble and decay, while slashing $1 billion from the education budget.
Quote attributable to Minister for Education James Merlino
"I'm excited that the community's vision for a school is turning into a reality and students will get to attend a brand-new school with first-rate facilities."
Quote attributable to Member for Yan Yean Danielle Green
"Schools are more than just buildings – they're at the heart of their neighbourhoods and this new school will be an opportunity to provide excellent learning facilities and enhance the local community."

QBiz: Paytm Reaches Canada; GST Panel Clears State, UT Laws
A roundup of important business news.
1. Alibaba-Backed Payments Startup Paytm Takes Big Step Into Canada
Paytm, the Indian mobile payments startup backed by Alibaba Group Holding Ltd, has begun its global expansion by launching a mobile bill and tax payment service in Canada.
Users of the Patym app in Canada can now pay their phone, cable, internet and utility bills as well as insurance and property taxes, the company said in an emailed statement.

2. Stock Indices Hit Record, Rupee at 16-Month High After US Fed Sticks to Stance on Gradual Rate Hike
India's stock indices surged to yet another record and the rupee hit a fresh 16-month high on Thursday after the US Federal Reserve stuck to its stance on gradual interest rate tightening at the end of a two-day monetary policy meeting.
Renewed strength in foreign investor buying after Bharatiya Janata Party's sterling show in the Uttar Pradesh elections bolstered sentiment as India's Volatility Index – a widely watched fear gauge – fell to a 30-month low, an indicator of heightened trader optimism.
Amid the record-setting spree, the market capitalisation of BSE listed firms spiked to a lifetime high of Rs 120 lakh crore. The Sensex gained 0.6% to 29,585.85 points.
The Nifty rose 0.8%, climbing over the 9,150-mark to 9,153.70 – a new high. The BSE Metal index led gains, posting a rise of 2.9% – the biggest single-day gain in nearly two months. Other Asian markets gained between 0.1% and 2%.
The rupee gained 28 paise to close at 65.41 per dollar, the highest since October 30, 2015. In the past five trading sessions, the rupee has strengthened nearly 2% against the greenback.
3. GST Council Clears State, Union Territory Laws
Taking yet another step towards implementing a new indirect tax regime, the Goods and Services Tax (GST) Council – headed by Finance Minister Arun Jaitley – on Thursday cleared the draft State GST (SGST) and Union Territory GST (UTGST) bills.
Final drafts of the three other bills – Integrated GST (IGST), Central GST (CGST) and the Compensation bill – had been cleared by the Council in its previous meetings.
The CGST, UTGST, IGST and Compensation bills will now go to the Union Cabinet for approval, while the SGST Bill will be taken up by the individual state cabinets and assemblies, Jaitley told reporters at the end of the Council meeting. In its next meeting on 31 March, the panel will consider supporting GST rules.
Once the bills are passed, another key meeting to present the slabs for various goods and services before the Council will take place, Jaitley said. 1 July continues to be the tentative date fixed for implementation of the new indirect tax regime, he added.
4. Incofin, ResponsAbility Invest $20 Million in Agri-Logistics Firm Sohan Lal
Incofin Investment Management of Belgium and ResponsAbility Investments AG of Switzerland have jointly invested $20 million (approximately Rs 130 crore) in Delhi-based Sohan Lal Commodity Management Pvt. Ltd (SLCM) a post-harvest agri-logistics and financing group, two top executives involved in the transaction said.
The two impact funds bought out the entire stake held by Everstone Capital and Mayfield Advisors, and some shares from Nexus Venture Partners and Emerging India Fund.
Aditya Bhandari, co-head for Asia at Incofin, said the asset management firm was keen on investing in Sohan Lal because of its fully integrated and process-driven business model.
5. Pepsi's Tropicana Loses 5% of Market While Dabur's Real Gains 2.5% share
PepsiCo's Tropicana, a billion-dollar brand globally, has lost about 5% share of India's Rs 2,000-crore packaged juices market that is witnessing a steady consolidation at the top by home-grown Dabur's Real brand.
Tropicana has dropped a 5% share – both by value and volume – between April 2016 and January 2017 compared with the corresponding period a year-ago, two officials quoting data by researcher Nielsen said.

6. Honda to Make a Middleweight Motorcycle in India to Take on Royal Enfield
Honda Motor Co has formed a team of engineers from Japan and Thailand to work in India and develop a global middleweight motorcycle to compete with Eicher Motors Ltd's Royal Enfield, a top executive said.
Noriaki Abe, president and chief executive officer (CEO) at Asian Honda Motor Co Ltd, said:
We (have) already allocated the people, some from Thailand and some from Japan to India to make a new concept mid-sized motorcycle in India.
Abe will take over as CEO of Honda's global motorcycle business on 1 April.
The planned middleweight motorcycle will compete with the ones from the stable of Royal Enfield, he added. "If we can make that product, we can export that to even Japan," said Abe.
7. Vodafone India, Idea Cellular Nearing Initial Agreement in Merger Deal
Vodafone Group Plc is nearing an initial agreement to merge its Indian operations with Idea Cellular Ltd, in a deal that would create the largest telecom company in one of the world's most competitive markets, people with knowledge of the matter said.
The two firms plan to announce a preliminary agreement as soon as this month, according to the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. The initial accord is unlikely to spell out the merged entity's shareholding structure because the due diligence has not yet been completed, the people said.
Billionaire Kumar Mangalam Birla will be the chairman of the new entity, according to the people. Vodafone could decide to sell part of its stake in the merged company, while the Birlas would likely offer to buy shares from other investors after the merger to bring their holding to about 26 people, according to sources.
8. Pigeon Express in Talks to Buy Out Snapdeal Stake in GoJavas
Logistics firm Pigeon Express is in talks to buy out entire stake of Snapdeal in its subsidiary parcel delivery firm GoJavas. "We are in discussion to buy out stake of Snapdeal in GoJavas," Pigeon Express MD Anand Rai said.
Pigeon Express acquired 51 percent share in GoJavas in August 2016, in which Snapdeal holds 49 percent stake. Rai said that Pigeon acquired GoJavas after it was running in losses mainly due to reconciliation issues with e-commerce companies.
GoJavas has Rs 110 crore loss on its books and reconciliation claims of about Rs 300 crore to be paid by e-commerce companies.
9. Parliamentary Panel Suggests BSNL-MTNL Merger
A Parliamentary panel has suggested merger of state-run telecom firms BSNL and MTNL for their long-term survival. The Committee on Petitions, chaired by BJP MP Bhagat Singh Koshyari, in its report tabled in Lok Sabha on Thursday, said that it is of the "considered opinion that for the long-term survival and success, merger of MTNL and BSNL would be a good proposition…"
Their merger would give both the entities a chance for competing against private sector players, it added.
The committee was formed to look into representation received by BJP MP Arvind Sawant regarding improvement in services provided by Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) and Mahanagar Telephone Nigam Limited (MTNL).
The Department of Telecom (DoT) informed the panel that both the public sector firms are in financial losses and are facing declining revenues from loss of market share and increasing expenditure.

Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan has broken down in tears as he begged forgiveness and denied he was racist following the emergence of a tape where he used the word "n----r".
The most recognisable face in wrestling has been pilliored after the emergence of an audio recording of him making racist comments during a sex tape recorded between 2006 and 2007.
The scandal has seen Hogan, born Terry Bolea, wiped from the WWE Hall of Fame and shamed across the USA.
But a contrite and emotional Hogan insisted he was not racist during an interview on ABC News' Good Morning America program.
"I'm not a racist but I never should have said what I said," the 12-time wrestling world champ said.
"It was wrong. I'm embarrassed by it.
"People need to realise that you inherit things from your environment. And where I grew up was south Tampa, Port Tampa, and it was a really rough neighbourhood, very low income.
"And all my friends, we greeted each other saying that word."
The controversial comments came as Hogan claimed he was "upset over a situation that happened" between his daughter Brooke Bollea and her boyfriend, who is African-American.
The 62-year-old begged for forgiveness from his legions of "Hulkster" fans.
"Oh, my gosh. Please forgive me. Please forgive me," he said.
"I think if you look at the whole picture of who Hulk Hogan is, you can see over all the years that there's not a racist bone in my body."
The interview came as Hogan embarks on a legal battle with Gawker Media following the gossip website's publication of excerpts of a secretly recorded tape that showed him having sex.
He is suing the US company for $140 million.
Hogan said he was dismayed to wiped from the WWE Hall of Fame.
"I've worked for the WWE for almost 30 years off and on ... and then all of a sudden, everything I've done my whole career and my whole life was like it never happened," he said.
"I mean, I love this business. I mean, it's been my life. I've given my life to this business.
"I've destroyed my body because I love doing this so much ... And I knew great things were still coming. And - it just destroyed me."

Last month I was lucky enough to spend the day with Emily and Charlie and their friends and family in Cambridge for their wonderful Emmanuel College wedding. The ceremony was held at the Little St Mary's church on Trumpington Street, and both the inside and outside had been decorated with wonderful floral displays. After the ceremony the wedding party moved to a room at the back of the church for a drink, while we took a few family pictures before moving everyone out for one of the best moments of the day: confetti! After Emily and Charlie had been showered with petals and rice, they took a cycle rickshaw through Cambridge to Emmanuel College for the wedding reception, while the guests made the short walk along Downing Street. Unfortunately the weather didn't decide to fully play ball; there were a few cracks of thunder and the clouds menaced before a short and sharp shower, however Emmanuel College is blessed with some grand cloisters where the guests took shelter. It wasn't long before the sky brightened and we made our way out into the majestic gardens for some pictures of Emily & Charlie together. The day was marching on and it was time for everyone to take their seats in the dining hall for the wedding breakfast and speeches, which included an awesome singing performance from the two best men! The evening was packed with entertainment: Charlie is from the superb wedding band 'Charlie and the Funk Factory' so knows plenty of ace musicians who graced the stage for some captivating performances. The big surprise of the night revolved around Charlie's band members who were meant to be having the day off, and instead had secretly organised an impromptu performance and Charlie took to the stage to show off his bassist skills! The dancefloor was packed all the night and the party was certainly one to remember!
If you're planning an Emmanuel College wedding and are looking for a wedding photographer in Cambridgeshire then please get in touch!

I sincerely felt my heart say 'yes' (to the first part of his question), but since it's not 'true' in a factual nationality sense (i.e. where I was born/citizenship), I said "I love Canada."
His face immediately lit up: "I'm from Calgary!"
My face also lit up. "Canada is my favourite place." (At least as far as I know right now)
"Thank you!" he said and we nodded and went our separate ways.
Just as I walked off, a friend called me on my cellular. We spoke for a while. As we were closing the conversation, she said to me "So what time are you leaving tomorrow for Cana ..." then she stopped and said "I mean, Tobago?" (I had told her earlier that day that I wouldn't be able to attend a play she's in tonight because I'll be in Tobago - working, not playing). "Why would I be thinking Canada?" she laughed.
I told her about the Canadian man I'd encountered just two minutes before.
"Sun, that's a sign," she said. ("Sun" is her nickname for me).
About five minutes later, another friend (the travel agent who booked my ticket to Canada this summer and extended it when I decided to stay on) came up to me. As we walked into the cinema, she said "So you're not going to Canada for Christmas?"
I said to her: "You're the third person in about 5 - 10 minutes who has mentioned Canada to me!"
"Something there is calling you," she said matter-of-factly.
As always.

My little brother goes to Maple Leaf and he just came back from Canada (His school took part in "Model UN", about two weeks ago)
He told my mother on the phone the night before coming home, "Mom, I could really live here, thanks for sending me to this school." (Maybe because he could have gone to Fatima which was the school he passed for after writing the S.E.A exam and my parents at the last minute decided to send him there because they felt he'd have more opportunities.") If he wasn't at MLS, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to visit.
He said the people are friendly and the place is clean and beautiful. He also said, he didn't miss home (Scary, but true)
Now, you two, have me interested in Canada, I've never been.

P.S- I forgot to say, if piece of your heart is in Canada, you should go find it, even if it's for Christmas.
P.S.S- After being away at school then coming home, I feel like, my home is somewhere else, besides Trinidad, not necessarily Miami, but moving to Miami somehow made me realize Trinidad may not be the place, I am supposed to call "home".

Subhajit, you're right - I feel I would like India. It's one of the places I want to go to. And yes, my music always has an Indian mantra type feel to it, without trying. Maybe I was Indian in another lifetime.
Tammy, yes, go and visit Canada and see how you feel.
Thanks everyone for your comments.

Hi Eira,
Wow Michael, you have given me so much to think on here (which I like!) I have always has a fascination for haiku/senryu but never do very well at writing.
a 3-line micro-form; that 3rd line crowds the senryu - and, too, there is that abstraction "joy"
if filtering for a senryu, consider starting along these lines:
a mother's
boundless joy
from a test tube
Yes, I see the difference
^^ still there a need - in both the 3-line micro-poem & senryu - to show the abstraction "joy," instead of telling.
So let's look at this incarnation:
a single mother's
from a test tube
afterglow is a wonderful alternative
^^ and inferred is "father's unaware" true
on the peripheral: Until I read your poem, I never noticed before the potential for linguistic pun on "test" & "tube":
a single mother's
from test & tube
test & tube, the clinical analogy to leather & lace
I'm not too sure I see the connection between leather & lace - I'll think on that a bit more
In workshopping, I have now found this one (Thanks)
a single mother's
basking in the son-light
from a testtube
^^ btw, possibly a senryu-poem; however, the MV play on "son(sun)" probably makes this more a micro-poem
I think this might be nearest to my train of thought. Yes, I don't think it was ever a true senryu.
Thank you for your thoughts on this, Michael.

Good morning Traders! FOMC results main theme du jour….SPs have traded back into the middle of the prior range (yellow line on chart) If they fail to hold the 1960 area, a test down to 1939 – 42 – lower end of the range will be the next play. If the market holds, the Daily osc on the Russell can hook up and the Nazdaq remains in a firm uptrend.
Bonds MAY be starting to form ten day divergences window on the daily OSC up here. A Close back below 138'27 is a trigger.
Dollar – still on extended run…but just had nice upside climax bar.
Gold – Dec gold needs to clear above 1307 for bulls. Above that level there can be good buying. otherwise, 120 minute chart can still lead to test of 1290 area…..use the 7 AM reading as main reference pivot.
CRB index has been on a sale….not quite close to daily buy Divergences yet….weak nat gas, sugar, grains, oil…etc inversely correlated with strong dollar….
Wild car trying to predict FOMC….should not be any surprises in statement or actions though.
Have a great day!

We commonly run across customers that think Pardot is not built for their enterprise business and is better suited for small to middle-market businesses with marketing teams that are heavily focused on lead management. While this is still a great use case, I'm here to debunk the myth that Pardot is not suited for enterprise businesses.
Pardot's functionality has grown leaps and bounds in the last few years, making it more fitting than ever for businesses that spread across the world, have a large number of divisions, and have multiple marketing teams supporting each division. Let's discuss the Pardot features that can lend themselves to support an enterprise business:
Business Units:
This newly released feature is something that Pardot customers have been anxiously awaiting! Whether it is product lines or divisions, Pardot business units allow prospects and marketing assets to be separated so each team can focus on tailored and personalized messaging to their most important customers, while still having global visibility to their overall marketing efforts, using B2B Marketing Analytics.
HandleBars Merge Language (HML):
This feature is a Pardot break-through! Replacing the Pardot Merge Language (PML), this language is also used in Salesforce Lightning Templates and is much more flexible than Salesforce Merge Language (SML). HML allows Marketers to build more personalized, tailored content for their customers, including condition logic statements.
By using conditional logic statements, you will no longer need to worry about grammar mistakes that can occur when using personalization strings: Ex: Hope all is well, Sarah vs. Hope all is well, !
You can use also use HML to create more personalized call to actions using #if statements. For example, provide relevant contact information for prospects, and display a solid backup as a default.
More HML features are bound to come, allowing marketing teams to continue to add more complex personalization to their Pardot emails.
Read more about enabling and implementing HML within your Pardot instance, here.
Pardot's connectivity with Salesforce CRM:
- Connected Campaigns allows Sales to have full visibility to marketing campaigns and add valuable contacts or leads into an engagement journey at any time. This also allows marketing campaign metrics to be tracked in a single place for easy analysis.
- Campaign Engagement History: This feature allows businesses to add Engagement History fields to contact and lead page layouts which enables both Marketing & Sales to have visibility into campaign performance.
- Salesforce Engage: In the age of consumers wanting fully personalized and relevant messages, Salesforce Engage continues to provide this, all while bridging the gap between sales and marketing by allowing sales to use branded, marketing-approved email templates in Sales Cloud, Gmail and Outlook.
- Pardot Einstein: New AI features
- Einstein Behavior Scoring works behind the scenes to identify prospects who are displaying particular actions that lead to a purchase. Based on their engagement patterns (link clicks, form submissions, etc.), each prospect is given a score. The scores are based on the last 365 days, ranging from 1 to 100, and your leads and contacts are ranked against each other. This differs from the Pardot prospect score because this is static, while the Einstein scoring model is dynamic.
- Einstein Lead Scoring uses data science to analyze historical marketing and sales data to determine whether a lead is ready to convert. This score continually updates as new data patterns are discovered.
- Einstein Campaign Insights uses real-time insights to identify what is driving campaign performance. This allows marketers to optimize their campaigns and better understand their audiences.
Pardot Language Capabilities:
Does your enterprise team span across the globe? Pardot is now translated into French, German, or Spanish and allows for users to change their locale and language settings based on their preference. Note: If User Sync is enabled, Salesforce's language settings will default for each user.
These are just some of the features that can help enterprise businesses succeed in their marketing efforts. Magnet360 is excited to see and be a part of where Pardot is headed next in the enterprise space.
Are you interested in learning more about what Pardot can do for your business? Reach out today!

Suffolk IDA backs 2 rail-related companies
Two companies that provide equipment and services to the Long Island Rail Road and other train systems are planning expansions in Suffolk County, officials said Thursday.
KLD Labs Inc., which makes measuring equipment, wants to more than double the size of its office and factory by purchasing a building in Hauppauge. CooCoo SMS Inc. also needs more space in Huntington as its applications for accessing train schedules and purchasing tickets via mobile devices catch on with commuters.
The projects were endorsed Thursday by the Suffolk County Industrial Development Agency with tax breaks.
KLD, based in Huntington Station, has outgrown its 10,700-square-foot home at 300 Broadway and plans to buy 55 Cabot Ct. in Hauppauge for $2.8 million.
Company president Steven A. Magnus said, "We have 300 rail measuring systems in 29 countries but we see tremendous growth opportunities in the future, particularly in the United States."
Magnus and his brother, Daniel, founded KLD in 1989 as an outgrowth of their late father's engineering business in Westbury. KLD produces equipment used by railroads to test the condition of tracks and train cars. The tests are necessary to comply with safety standards and maintenance regimens.
KLD has 41 employees and expects to hire four more in two years. Salaries, on average, are $78,303, records show.
The IDA backed the $3-million expansion with $193,032 in tax breaks, including a $166,000, or 35 percent, reduction in property taxes over 12 years.
The IDA also supported CooCoo's plan to add 600 to 900 square feet at 356 New York Ave. The $215,000 project will add 10 people to the company's payroll of eight within two years, according to Christopher Boylan, a CooCoo board director.
The young company, which is partially funded by the Hicksville-based investment fund Canrock Ventures, is growing as it rolls out a mobile ticketing option for commuters. It hopes to secure work in Texas, California and Florida.
"We expect our business to double or triple in the next six months," Boylan said.
CooCoo will receive a $64,000 cut in property taxes over five years and a $2,500 sales-tax exemption. Its workers earn $62,750 on average.
Citing CooCoo, IDA executive director Anthony Manetta said the county hopes to encourage "development of a technology hub" in Huntington Village.

Russian Authority has seize 22 Bitcoin ATMs in different 9 cities. The BATMs that are installed at stores and restaurants in 9 different cities, was stopped by Russian police.
According to a local media report, The confiscation has been carried out on orders from the Prosecutor's Office and the Central Bank of Russia. This could be because the operation of crypto teller machines in the country is currently unregulated.
All of the seized terminals are operated by Bbfpro which maintains a network of bitcoin ATMs across the vast country, RBC reported quoting lawyer Sarkis Darbinyan from the Digital Rights Center ( DRC ) who is representing the company's interests. His organization specializes in providing legal assistance to businesses from the digital industry including crypto and blockchain firms.
Artem Bedarev, who is Bbfpro's manager, has revealed to local media that he was not informed by the authority prior to this seizure of machines. He said he was told informally that the investigation will continue at least six months and the machines will not be returned before it's completed.
An officer who participated in the confiscation on Friday said the operation was ordered by the Prosecutor General's Office following a request from the Central Bank of Russia ( CBR).
An official from the Central Bank of Russia, has refused to give details on the case with Bbfpro's ATMs but pointed out that the regulator conducts "systematic work to identify and counteract illegal activities in the financial market."
In addition, the Ministry of Interior and the Prosecutor's Office did not respond to media inquiries about the operation too.
Do you think the Bitcoin ATMs seizure by Russian Police is justified?

We've heard it before — after all, when you write about real estate, you do spend a fair amount of time talking about how difficult and expensive it is to pay property taxes: It's not always easy to be a property owner in Texas.
We've talked about why property taxes are climbing. But Lupe Valdez, newly crowned Democratic candidate for governor, says that a story in the Houston Chronicle that revealed she is facing about $12,000 in overdue property taxes is a good example of why reform is needed.
The Chronicle's story revealed that Valdez owes $12,000 in overdue taxes on seven properties in two counties — Ellis and Dallas. Campaign officials said that she is paying off those taxes in installments because she cannot afford to pay them all at once. Both appraisal districts do show that she has been making payments on those taxes for several months, but that she must pay them in full by July so they don't go into collections.
"As we've been saying all along, under Greg Abbott's failed leadership, property taxes are unpredictable and burdensome for Texans everywhere, including Sheriff Lupe Valdez," said campaign spokesman Juan Bautista Dominguez. "Sheriff Valdez has an agreement with the counties to payoff 2017 property taxes and plans to do so entirely in the coming months."
However, the Chronicle reports that there is no such agreement on file with the Dallas Central Appraisal District. It also says that she listed companies with erroneous names on two companies in her campaign disclosures.
However, the Dallas Morning News reports that until the overdue taxes hit the July mark, they aren't technically delinquent. Dominguez told the DMN that one of Valdez's properties also had two addresses, despite being the same property.
"She makes all pertinent tax payments for this property at the same time," Dominguez told the DMN. "We plan to file an amended PFS [personal financial statement] to reflect this detail." He also said that the companies with erroneous names will be changed in the amended personal financial statement, too.
Some say the timing is curious — after all, it's not that difficult to look this sort of information up, so how did no major news outlet pick this up much earlier? And how did the Valdez campaign not get ahead of this prior to the Chronicle story?
And is Valdez right? Are her travails with the state's convoluted property tax system representative of the issues everyone in the state has, and actually more of an indictment of Abbott and a GOP-led Texas? Sound off (politely) in the comments.

Is that a pasty in your pocket or are you just happy to see me?
I've often thought about the traditional Cornish Pasty. Legend has it that one half would be meat and potato and the other half fruit(I know that you know all this). And of course the crimped edge is for the miners to hold with their dirty hands and would be thrown away (shame that, I wonder how many couldn't resist and ate the crimp anyway?). I never see a pasty for sale with these two courses. Mind, I haven't traveled extensively through Cornwall.
Anyway, I did it. Two thirds of the pasty is thinly sliced pork,onion,potato, swede and carrot with salt and pepper and a bit of flour and water. The other third sliced apple and sugar.
It was terrific and the two sections melded together nicely. Which made me think of the obvious: pork and apple, duck and cherry, chicken and mango. hmmm, I think I'm on to something here.
Life at home is fine but not us really. So I'm going back to work in four weeks time. We are preparing Mamma's boy, expressing and the Hubby giving him a bottle. It's working too, after 3 days the boy woke up from a nap and as Dad was there he was looking to him for a snack. Cool.
And speaking of Mamma's milk, am I punishing the boy with a painfully windy tummy because of my healthy diet? You know, high fibre, lots of fruit and veg and pulses? Would he have a calmer time if I was eating junk food?

Keeping Kids Safe In And Around Cars
Motor vehicle injuries are the leading cause of death among children in the United States. However, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, child safety seats reduce the risk of death in passenger cars by 71% for infants, and by 54% for toddlers ages 1 to 4 years. Make sure your child is using the appropriate age/weight/size child safety seat to prevent these fatal injuries. Always follow the car seat manufacturers guidelines!
Birth to 2 years should be rear facing in the back seat for as long as possible, it is recommended that they remain rear facing until the age of two.
2 to 5 years should be forward facing and harnessed riding in the back seat through the age of five if possible. This will depend on the child's height and weight, as well as the manufacturer's guidelines.
Children (6-8 years) most children will remain in a booster seat until the age of eight. Make sure the lap belt is resting across the child's upper thigh and never on the stomach. The shoulder belt should never rest across the neck, be placed under the arms, or put behind the back.
Older Children (8-12 years) should transition into a regular seat belt. Always check to make sure the lap belt and shoulder belt are resting appropriately. Children should ride in the back seat until the age of 13.
Tucson Fire has certified car seat technicians that can teach and assist with car seat installations in personal vehicles, by appointment only. Please call our Car Seat Hotline at 837-7104.
Distracted Driving and the Hands-Free Ordinance in the City of Tucson
Distracted driving is as dangerous as driving while under the influence. Try to minimize distractions in your vehicle so your attention is on the road and getting safely to your destination. Be a role model for your children and other passengers who will someday be driving themselves. As of early 2018, texting and driving in City of Tucson limits is now a primary offense. Put the phone down and keep your eyes and full attention on the road.
"Arrive Alive, Don't Text and Drive!"
Never Leave Your Child In A Car
Children die every year from heat stroke after being left in a vehicle. Temperatures inside a car can reach deadly levels within minutes, causing severe brain damage and death. Infants and children are at the greatest risk of overheating since their bodies absorb more heat than an adult, allowing their body temperature to increase three to five times faster. In addition, leaving your child alone in a car puts them at risk to be kidnapped. Don't let this happen to your child. Always look in the front and back seat of your vehicle before locking it. Never let children play in the car and keep keys out of children's reach. If you see a child left alone in a hot vehicle, please call 9-1-1 immediately.
Take A 360
Before starting your vehicle and driving away, always take one complete walk around it to ensure that there are no small children playing near or under your vehicle.
Air Bags Aren't Good For Kids
Air bags save lives, however, children can be seriously injured or even die when an air bag deploys during a crash. The safest place for your child is in the back seat, even if your vehicle doesn't have air bags.

text: I just received my MSDN subscription and I have a few questions about the keys that I am able to receive from MSDN. 1) How many RTL (Retail) keys can I generate per account? 2) How many simultaneous activations is each RTL (Retail) key good for? 3) How many simultaneous activations is each MAK (Multiple Activation Key) key good for? My understanding is: My understanding is that you get 10 RTL (Retail) keys per product. Each RTL key is good for unlimited activations, but only 1 at a time (only one computer activated at a time) Each MAK key is good for 500 simultaneous activations (500 computers activated off the same key at the same time) I was wondering if anyone could clear this up please as the MS help is not very helpful.

The game is set in the year 2089 in a version of Berlin where the Cold War never ended. You play as Kai, a time travelling secret agent that only has one night of clubbing to prevent a nuclear terror attack. Sounds like a standard Saturday night out to me.

After the second edition of this book was published in 1994, the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act was amended to give the Hague-Visby Rules the "force of law". This brought the Singapore position on the effect of these Rules in line with UK law. Furthermore, the effect of the provisions of the Bills of Lading Act ("BLA"), and the corresponding UK statute, namely, the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act 1992, has been explained in many cases in Singapore and the UK. Since the last edition, other aspects of the law on carriage of goods by sea have also been clarified and there have been many important judicial pronouncements on the effect of the Hague Rules and the Hague-Visby Rules.

The Global Technology Law Conference 2015, held over two days on 29 and 30 June 2015, is the second in a series of international conferences delving into the issues thrown up by the collision of law and disruptive technologies. The conference grappled with legal and regulatory issues in the wake of financial technologies, or Fintech, and the challenges to data protection and intellectual property law associated with big data. This book collects a series of articles that deal with these topics in much greater depth. The views articulated at the conference form the bedrock of these articles. It is hoped that the ideas and views captured between these covers will contribute to the development of jurisprudence in this exciting and everchanging area of law.

This work is the first comprehensive, annotative commentary ever written on the rules of ethics in Singapore. Singapore and foreign practitioners, judges, Disciplinary Tribunal members and students will find this commentary particularly helpful because of its incisive approach towards the elements of each rule of the new Legal Profession (Professional Conduct) Rules 2015 ("PCR"). By reading this book, members of the public would gain a full understanding of the responsibilities of lawyers towards clients. The Legal Profession (Foreign Representation in Singapore International Commercial Court) Rules 2014, which governs the conduct of foreign lawyers in the Singapore International Commercial Court, is analysed as well. The relationship between principles and rules (a fundamental feature of the PCR) is closely examined and the scope of their application is carefully elucidated. The book explains every rule of ethics and covers all the relevant case law and disciplinary decisions which concern ethical accountability. It addresses related legislation, the governing practice directions, rulings, guidance notes and circulars which affect a lawyer's practice as well as judgments from other jurisdictions. As the PCR breaks new ground structurally, in content and applicability, this book will prove to be an invaluable and indispensable aid to the understanding of the unprecedented dynamics of professional conduct in modern legal practice.

This is the first contract law casebook which compiles extracts from the judgements of the Singapore courts, as well as excerpts from relevant Singapore statutes. It is designed to facilitate the teaching and learning of Singapore contract law by providing the reader with a systematic framework for understanding the core legal principles underpinning the different doctrinal facets of this subject. Every chapter provides an introductory overview of a key topic, including the formation of contracts, the interpretation of contracts and the discharge of contracts, to assist the reader in navigating a curated collection of case extracts from some of the most significant contract law cases that have emerged from the Singapore High Court and the Singapore Court of Appeal. Users of this book are invited to read the selection of materials critically in light of the accompanying commentary provided in each chapter, reflect on the "grey" areas of the law that have attracted controversy and consider the extent to which Singapore contract law is similar to, or different from, the position taken elsewhere.

This book is the result of the Rule of Law Symposium that was convened in Singapore in May 2014 to consider the implications of the rule of law for development both in the South-East Asia region and globally. The chapters in this book represent a conversation between senior judges, scholars and lawyers from the worlds of business and private practice. There are four thematic sections, which address: the rule of law and development from a legal and policy perspective; the implications of the rule of law for business and finance; the rule of law in international investment disputes; and judicial reflections from the past or present heads of the Judiciary in England and Wales, Hong Kong and Singapore. The thematic sections are followed by individual contributions from former UN Legal Counsel, Ambassador Patricia O'Brien; Singapore's Minister for Law and Foreign Affairs, Mr K Shanmugam, and The Honourable Solicitor-General Lionel Yee.

Nature chiefs hail tree angel appeal: Leaders of major environmental organisations back campaign to plant thousands of trees across UK
- Royal Horticultural Society and Woodland Trust both lent support to green drive
- Aim is to plant thousands of trees to help make Britain a better, greener country
- All the main political parties have made tree planting an election issue
The Daily Mail's Be A Tree Angel campaign received the backing of some of Britain's leading environmental organisations last night.
The Royal Horticultural Society and the Woodland Trust both lent their support to our green drive, which is being organised with the Tree Council.
The aim is to plant thousands more trees in gardens and communities to help make Britain a better, greener country.
All the main political parties have made tree planting an election issue – promising millions more trees.
Sue Biggs, the Royal Horticultural Society's director general, has lent support to the green drive which is being organised with the Tree Council
And so far Mail readers have pledged to plant – or have already planted – 24,504 saplings since the campaign began on November 23.
Sue Biggs, the Royal Horticultural Society's director general, described the campaign as 'exciting' and made an urgent plea for more tree planting, particularly in back gardens.
She said: 'The UK's 24 million domestic gardens are thought to cover more than a quarter of our towns and cities.
'What we grow in these spaces and how we manage them can therefore have a huge impact.
'Trees help cool our cities. They do this by giving us shade and, by allowing water to evaporate from their leaves, reducing the temperature. As well as helping us to combat rising heat, they play a part in mitigating flood issues.
'Tree canopies can slow the rate that water reaches the ground and enters the drainage system.
'Trees provide food and habitat for our wildlife, they help improve air quality and there is even evidence that they are good for our mental health and wellbeing.'
Darren Moorcroft, chief executive of the Woodland Trust, has also backed the effort to plant thousands more trees in gardens and communities to help make Britain a better, greener country
Miss Biggs added: 'The Daily Mail's exciting campaign to support tree planting in the UK is hugely welcomed and we urge everyone to simply love a tree for being a tree!'
Darren Moorcroft, chief executive of the Woodland Trust, said: 'At no other time during my 20-plus years in conservation has the environment been so prominent.
'It is great to see the Daily Mail once again champion the importance of trees, as they did with the Woodland Trust on its Jubilee Woods project. We are on the cusp of climate breakdown.
'If we want to be ancestors that are looked back upon fondly, there can be no more delay.
'We must act now. We have a key solution: trees. The need for an estimated 1.5 billion new trees in pursuit of being net zero carbon by 2050 has focused minds and created a surge in interest to plant trees
Daily Mail Campaign: Be A Tree Angel
'Native trees are especially important as they have a dual benefit; they help tackle climate change and nature loss at the same time, by creating habitats for our wonderful native wildlife.'
Mr Moorcroft added: 'Protecting woods and trees is of equal importance in ultimately recovering nature and fighting back against climate change.
'But our woods are under threat like never before, pressures from development and from pests and disease are most present, and need to be tackled.
'The challenge we face is huge. It won't be easy, but it's a cost worth paying. There is hope, every tree counts.'

Degrees and Certifications:
Associates Degree of General Studies Concentration in Music at Tyler Junior College Bachelor of Music At Stephen F. Austin
Justin Davis
Why, Hello. My name is Justin Davis and I am the band director of Collegiate Academy. I started teaching in Galveston at the start of the 2016-17 school year. Before this I was the head junior high band director of a growing band program at Falfurrias Junior High, from 2013-2016. I Graduated with my Bachelors of Music from Stephen F. Austin in May of 2011. My goal as I teach here in Galveston is to grow the music program and build a strong foundation as I lead students to the Ball High Band. To do this I have to have an active community outreach, Parental and Staff/Administration involvement, and building the overall success of the band program. My primary instrument is the Saxophone and I currently play in the Galveston Community Band to keep up my skills and learn more about my instrument. For me to be an amazing teacher you must continue to learn and be an amazing student and I learn each day from the students I teach. My favorite thing to teach is the Middle School level, especially the beginning band, watching kids grow from nothing gives me the greatest feeling of accomplishment more then even completing my degree in education.
I come from a small high school in Ingram, Texas that has a struggling band program and I wanted to go out and teach music to help programs like the one I was in (after, of course, I found out in my senior you're of high school I no longer wanted to do marine biology). From there I entered Tyler Junior College, TJC, to start of my journey in music education and I participated in the College Marching, Concert and Jazz bands in my two years there. After I left TJC I entered Stephen F. Austin State University, SFA, to finish off my degree, while I was at SFA I pushed myself to be a better musician as I still participated in the College Marching, Concert and Jazz bands, I also joined the Basketball pep-band and Saxophone Quartet. I bleed purple, GO JACKS, so Galveston is the right place for me (also I'm a beach bum at heart so living on an island helps fulfill that part of me that has been missing for so long).
"Be better then you were the day before, then before you know it you will have reached greatness." - My Philosophy as I put one foot in front of the other.
