An unnamed woman from Mitchell, Queensland, Australia has died after her pet camel knocked her down to the ground, stomped on her, and then laid on top of her, in what police suspect was an attempt by the camel to mate with her. The woman was found at 18:30 (AEST) by her husband after he finished feeding his stock at the family ranch.
The woman in question had a fondness for exotic pets, and received the camel as a 60th birthday present. The camel was ten months old, and weighed 152 kg (336 lbs). Camels have lived in Australia since they were transported there in the 1840s. Camels are not normally aggressive, but can become more dangerous if treated as pets.
According to the police, the camel displayed possible mating behaviour. Craig Gregory, Detective Senior Constable for Queensland Police said, “I’d say it’s probably been playing, or it may be even a sexual sort of thing.” One camel expert, Chris Hill, claimed that the animal’s behaviour was definitely sexual.

Since the boom of the dot-com era, email marketing has since become an extremely powerful tool that is used for differentiating a brand and directing targeted traffic to a particular website, which in turn increases sales. On top of that, one of the advantages of using such an email marketing strategy is that the tools available online are very useful in keeping track and measuring data and results, which lessens the workload on the administrative side.
What separates a good email marketing strategy from another is really how relevant the content they provide is and also the quality and segmentation of the email list. By taking note of these tiny details, you are bound to draw in more sales then when you do not heed to these details. In this article we look into some tips where you can use to further improve on your email marketing strategies.
Develop your strategy
Who is your target audience and what message do you want to put across? What is the time frame between each new campaign and what kind of content do you wish to develop on? When you are working on your strategy, be sure to include these details and also be consistent with your overall marketing strategy.
Have realistic targets

Increased sales.
Increased product or service sales.
Enhanced customer relationships.
Brand differentiation through providing expert advice for customers.
Inflow of traffic to a specific part of your website.
Analyze and segment your e-mail list
One of the greatest things about targeted email marketing is that you get to zoom in on certain topics that your clients associate themselves with. As such, you have to research and find out what are the topics that grab their attention. After which, you should cut them into smaller pieces based on identified commonalities.
Develop relevant content based on your segmentation
By segmenting up your email list, it allows you to expand it into many different ways, thus increasing the accuracy in pleasing your audience when reading it. People look for specific information and details and if you can provide them with that, they are more than happy to hear more from you or even try out your products. Providing your audience with accurate information and interesting information reduces their impression that what you are sending them is useless spam and they would most likely have a second look at it, increasing your sale chances.
Timing consistency
Set your emails to be sent on a regular basis be it weekly, monthly or quarterly. By sticking to a certain deadline, you portray your company as one that puts priority on your customers and if what you are providing is interesting, people will be looking forward to their next set of email and that is what you want to achieve, having a loyal base of customers that keeps coming back and from there, expand your business.

Two doctors who treated actor John Ritter for chest pain in Burbank, California were cleared of a negligence lawsuit on Friday. Ritter was an American television and film actor who died of aortic dissection on 11 September 2003.
Ritter’s children and widow (Amy Yasbeck) filed a US$67 million lawsuit claiming negligence by the doctors, both at the time Ritter fell ill and at a medical checkup two years earlier where problems with Ritter’s aorta could have been spotted.
A jury hearing the case at Los Angeles County Superior Court voted 9-3 to dismiss the claims, satisfied that the defendants, Dr. Joseph Lee and Dr. Matthew Lotysch, acted properly during their examination and treatment of Ritter.
Ritter’s last role was in leading the cast of the television series 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter whose production was disrupted by his death.
