Do not fill this in!The front page of the DCC website says their mission is “to enhance public safety by encouraging a crime-free lifestyle and providing cost-effective, evidence-based programs in the supervision and treatment of adult offenders.” Perhaps it’s past time we put a little more emphasis on “evidence-based programs” and “public safety,” and gain a better understanding of what “cost-effective” means. As you look at how to change the problems I ask you not to forget that this is only being investigated because a reporter was able to obtain internal documents from DCC. Until the first story ran no changes were being made. Without the media access to documents we would not be here listening to the descriptions of changes only now being made. No one in the leadership at The Board of Corrections or DCC took any action because of the crimes that were being committed by Parolees. Sadly, the Darrell Dennis case is not unique. The leadership is tainted by a philosophy that is out of synch with the mission of public safety. Crime victims have earned a right to be included at the table in resolving these problems- they have, after all, paid the most for the failures of the system.<br><br>If not, then, let’s find out together! For starters, weather marketing is all about sending emails whose copy and visuals are based on a subscriber’s location and its weather conditions. For this to work, you need to leverage the power of email marketing automation to set up a drip campaign that will draw weather data from a specific location. Then, all you need is to deliver targeted recommendations corresponding to the weather forecast. When I received my first weather-based drip campaign, it was 5°C outside (41.0 °F for my Fahrenheit friends), and I was already debating whether I should buy a new pair of gloves or a lovely scarf. To my surprise, Patagonia offered me exactly what I needed to protect myself from the sudden low temperatures. The brand’s targeted messaging makes this drip series an excellent example of personalized eCommerce email marketing for higher conversions. The success behind it, though, lies in giving customers tailored recommendations that will fulfill an urgent need caused by environmental changes.<br><br>Code alludes to the activities of executing and running code, inter-acting with different systems, objects and materials which together generate the phenomena of liveness. » After investigating early web throbbers/spinners, like the famous S in NCSA Mosaic, you chose the common circular spinner for The Spinning Wheel of Life. I'm reminded of when Facebook removed their customized loading icon (because users blamed them, rather than the network, for slowness). Also, previous work on spinners used a variety or oddball variations like Always Loading by Brian Piana and then there are the great many sites helping people customize their loading icons. Can you explain a bit of the thought process leading to selecting the more common spinner icon, and presenting it in a few different ways (as a Processing sketch, as a series of prints of each frame, etc)? This investigation of throbber is actually a long process and is still on-going.<br><br>After a couple of weeks in Twitter's spam dragnet, TokiPonaPoemBot is now up and running! It's based on the poem generator I wrote about in March. Twitter could have done a better job of letting me know why the account was blacklisted, and there was no indication that they would ever reply to my support request, but alas -- no billion-dollar megacorp is perfect. It probably got marked as spam because I registered with my university email address. ANYWAY, what I actually wanted to write about today was an experience I had while developing TokiPonaPoemBot. In that experience, there's a lesson about being pragmatic versus being a single-minded dumbdumb, which I think is worth sharing. Here's the background. Initially, I intended to run the bot as a systemd service, systemd being Linux software that can manage processes. My idea was that systemd would wake up the bot whenever I booted my computer. The bot would then ask itself "Is it time to tweet yet?" in a loop until it was time to tweet.<br><br>Feel free to surf to my web page [http://xavierdeschamps.free.fr/Escalade/Forum_escalade/profile.php?id=389976 "http://xavierdeschamps.free.fr/Escalade/Forum_escalade/profile.php?id=389976] Summary: Please note that all contributions to Disgaea Wiki may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
