SUMMER SESSION #9- THE ROCKETS RED GLARE

 I see by the calendar the long weekend of celebrating the Independence of our Great Nation is upon us.  How often do we stop and really consider the reason behind a holiday?  Most of us get so wrapped up in the celebration, we forget the reason for it.  As Roosevelt so eloquently coined the phrase, "a day which will live in infamy" when referring to the bombing of Pearl Harbor,  July 4, 1776, is another day that will live in infamy in the history of our country.



Many of us enjoy activities on this day which have become rituals.  A day on the lake, at the beach or the pool anything with a water theme in the depths of the heat of summer.  Others have family reunions when a long holiday weekend provides the opportunity for gathering.  Some take trips, some play games, some just sit and chill.  We all have an idea of what we want this holiday to look like.


AND of course, there is the traditional cook out.  Grilling, smoking, barbequing--whatever your favorite brand of creating a flame to cook the meat.  Some enjoy a fish fry, and some like to frequent their favorite restaurant.  We all seem to think all holidays revolve around enjoying our favorite culinary treats.



 No Fourth would be complete without the annual fireworks display.  I have seen many over the decades-from the home grown variety of trying to blow up the hood to the grand spectacle of explosions over the river or lake.  It is a sure fire way to blow up several hundred dollars in a very short period of time.

Whatever your holiday plans, I pray you will stop and thank God for this great nation.  Remember those men and women who have made this celebration possible.  AND especially pause and reflect that even in the midst of our differences, we have the common love of our great country.

HAPPY 4TH OF JULY, FRIENDS!

AND

GOD BLESS AMERICA!

  2. Through Facebook advertisements, you can segment data according to your needs; if you’re looking for people living in Toronto to sell your local product, you can do so. On the other hand, you can even select your target market by demographics or by interest — the possibilities are endless. An ecommerce website is any website that sells a good or service on it. This type of website can adhere to any of the above ecommerce business models.For example, HubSpot provides products to other companies that are looking to grow better. ComScore data indicates there are a few particular industries seeing rapid change in regard to retail ecommerce growth. Jewelry and watches was at the top of the growth chart with 39% growth, followed by furniture, appliances, and equipment (26%), and video games/accessories (24%). It is crucial that you integrate analytics in your eCommerce site. This does not only encompass personal information security, but this also reminds you that your actions reflect on the image of the company. Make your way to the top of the competition using clean tactics to attract customers, and you will gain your own followers in time. https://www.reviewengin.com/category/bonus/
