It increases the traffic to your site and your page rank. Write a catchy sentence just before your link that makes people want to see your site.
A FAQ (frequently asked questions) page is an essential tool for keeping your website's visitors happy and well-informed. Your customers will be able to find answers quickly to questions. This will increase the likelihood that they will make a purchase from you.
Find ways to utilize Facebook and Twitter throughout your Website marketing. These social media websites give you the perfect way to keep in contact with your customers. They are perfect for promotions, updates and even deeper conversations. You should be aware that people do not like you to advertise too much to them.

Direct marketing should not be overlooked as a complement to the marketing system for your Internet site. Contact your customers by email, phone, or fax to tell them about services and specials. A lot of the data you need can be acquired through the yellow pages or through online phone directories.
Start small when you are first setting out with marketing your product or service on a new website. Search engines will be more likely to overlook your site when it has a million or two indexed pages, than when it only has ten to twenty thousand.

Inbound marketing is the process of attracting strangers to your website, converting them into leads, nurturing them until they are ready to buy and closing them as customers.
One of the most important features of any successful inbound marketing strategy is content.
Content draws prospects towards your site and initiates their relationship with your business. A content strategy turns a static website into the marketing asset that it should be - working hard to deliver a return on investment.
The concept of "content marketing" has been around for years and, according to the 2018 B2B Content Marketing Trends Report (Content Marketing Institute/MarketingProfs), there is a strong correlation between the most successful B2B marketers and their adoption of content marketing.
Despite that fact, the survey found that even in 2018 a whopping 66% of B2B marketers still felt that their approach was less than "mature".
One of the reasons, I think, is that marketers struggle to create an efficient content plan that really works.
In this blog I am going to touch on some of the principles of inbound marketing, using a "pillar & cluster" blogging strategy to optimise SEO, and the use of "gated content" to attract leads.
Here are a few best practices you can follow to ensure that your content will attract the right readers, build your business's visibility and generate sales leads.
Amazingly, some marketers write about their solution, their product, their people, their business - all without regard to the interests of their target audience.
Others simply focus on creating a regular consistent output based on whatever broad topics come to mind with the idea that churning out content to build out a bigger website is fine.
Smart, successful content authors create content that addresses every stage in the buyer journey for each of their buyer personas, optimising that content for SEO along the way.
There are six steps to this:
- what are their specific pains / what keeps them awake at night?
- where do they seek advice? and from whom?
- what would it mean to them to solve these problems?
- what are their interests both in and out of work?
- how does our solution help them specifically?
Step 2 - Document the buyer journey
The second step is to work out the appropriate order of the information that they will need - depending where they are in their buyer journey. You can use this information to map out workflows to nurture leads with relevant information until they are ready to buy.
In general terms, for B2B marketers that means thinking about content to help each of their buyer personas by:
- defining the problem(s)
- explaining the impact of solving the problem (e.g. the potential for growth, increased profitability, cost reduction....)
- exploring alternative solutions (e.g. spreadsheets, doing nothing, in house development..)
- providing the proof that your solution will work for them (e.g. case studies in their industry)
- providing information about your solution
Note: this could be seen as a matrix of content with multiple buyer personas each facing different problems. Some content (eg case studies) may be shared, others will be specific to each buyer persona and buyer journey stage.
Step 3 - identify the main subject areas (topics)
The third step is to group the information into a few different topics and link that content together to provide an inter-connected set of content that will help Google recognise your authority on that topic.
Step 4 - create "gated" content for each main topic
Gated content is hidden behind a form. This is content that your audience would consider valuable enough to read in exchange for giving you their contact details.
That content could be an eBook based on some original research or thought leadership. It could be a summary of lots of information that is already in the public domain but packaged so it's easy to consume. Whatever you decide on, it should be worth completing a form to obtain.
Your objective is to create at least one piece of gated content for each topic.
Step 5 - create one piece of "pillar" content for each topic
For great SEO, create one piece of content that is freely accessible (i.e. not gated) for each topic. This could be a long blog, or a detailed web or landing page, and should be written to show you as an authority on the topic.
You should aim to have lots of links (both internal and external to your website) to that pillar page, because, among other things, Google ranks content that has lots of links and relevant content.
Your pillar content should have a call to action to your main piece of "gated" content for that topic.
Step 6 - create a list of blog titles to drive traffic to your form
Blogging is a great way of driving people to download your content. Give them a snippet from the content, talk around the subject, provide useful information in the blog that let's the reader know you are an authority before they even consider hitting the download button.
Blogs can be quite short, but each one should be linked to your "pillar" content AND have a call to action to a piece of "gated" content.
There's no maximum number of these "cluster" blogs that you should create around your "pillar", but aim to think of several, at least.
(HINT: HubSpot's SEO tool will help you document this.)
Now start writing!
Here are a few tips:
- use keywords liberally
- use the language and tone that you feel your buyer will enjoy
- use proof - statistics, facts, 3rd party quotes to back up your views
- create links to other content, especially your own!
- link each blog post to one of your pieces of pillar content
- add a call to action to each blog post to drive the reader to a piece of gated content
We all know that variety is the spice of life so why do so many marketers just churn out the same content in the same old format?
Blogs do need to be quite wordy to address Google's appetite and optimise your pages for SEO, but you can add infographics and other graphics for human consumption.
The good news is that HubSpot has found that even short blogs work. Anything from 300-2000 words is fine - just remember to stick to your "pillar and cluster" strategy and link every blog to a pillar.
HINT: If you use images, remember to set alt-tags - Google reads these too!
As for gated content, there are a whole host of formats to choose from including eBooks, Videos, Slideshares, Mind Maps, Infographics, recorded webinars and podcasts.
Think back to your buyer personas - what sort of content are they likely to enjoy? Something they can download and read at their leisure with detailed facts, tables and complex theories to absorb? Or something more visual or a podcast to listen to as they commute to and from work?
But marketers, I hear you cry: "I don't have time to sit and write content day in and day out".
Fear not - you don't have to write more content, you just have to work on getting the content you already have to work harder for you!
When developing a new piece of content, think about how you can you can reuse the content in different formats and channels. Here are a few examples:
- If you've developed a series of blog posts, you could turn them into a comprehensive eBook.
- Or turn an eBook into several blog posts.
- Create emails for each of your blogs.
- Turn blog posts into slideshares, newsletters or a series of social posts.
- Create short video clips or podcasts out of blog posts.
- Use survey results to create a report, an infographic and several blogs.
- Take a case study and create a downloadable PDF, a blog, a video clip and an infographic.
- Turn a sales presentation into several slideshares.
- Turn product information into "how to" blogs and emails.
And, of course, you should update and republish content at intervals.
HINT: I find it really efficient to create blogs, emails and infographics as soon as I have completed a piece of gated content. Whilst the background information is all fresh in my mind, I often create several blogs and emails and store them for later use. I often draft social posts at the same time.
Creating your content is only the beginning – you have to share it to be effective.
If used right, social media can be an incredibly powerful platform for driving traffic to your website.
Make sure you plan what to share and where in order to ensure your content reaches the right people. Again, go back to your buyer personas to work out where and when to share, and LinkIn with your customers and find suitable groups to join.
Have a plan in place for the optimum times of day to post content, and monitor the frequency of posting. It's not the same across the board so find out what works best for your business and stick with it.
To summarise, creating fresh, relevant content that is engaging and "remarkable" can be a challenge. Our experts work with clients to create content marketing plans, and content, that improve search engine rankings, attract more website traffic, capture and nurture leads.
Are you new to all this and would like to know more about how inbound marketing could help you drive more leads?

The matchup is set and on Wednesday night, it begins when the Blackhawks face the Nashville Predators in Game 1 of their first-round series.
So who has the edge? No, we don't do overall predictions, but we will break down the various categories and see who's got the advantage in them. Let's proceed.
Patrick Kane was cleared on Monday, and with that the Blackhawks' forward depth gets a tremendous boost. If he is back beginning with Game 1 – we still think that may be a bit too soon, but not our call – the Blackhawks' puck-possession and scoring games should automatically get better. Kane had 64 points when he suffered his injury on Feb. 24. Only Jonathan Toews has more than that now (66). For all the forward talent the Blackhawks have, they've struggled to score and that hurt them down the stretch.
[RELATED - Stanley Cup Playoffs: Full schedule for Blackhawks-Predators]
The Predators bolstered their lineup over the summer, adding scoring weapons like James Neal and Mike Ribeiro. Filip Forsberg had put together a nice rookie season, recording a team-high 63 points (Ribeiro is next with 62).
We'd give the Blackhawks the automatic edge here normally, even with the Predators' additions. But since that scoring has gone by the wayside… EDGE: Even.
Between Nick Leddy's trade in September and Trevor van Riemsdyk's injury in November, the Blackhawks defense took some hits. The changes and injuries had coach Joel Quenneville splitting up Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook, as well as Niklas Hjalmarsson and Johnny Oduya. Michal Rozsival has struggled, as had David Rundblad. Kimmo Timonen was acquired at the deadline. But between coming off a 10-month recovery off blood clots and missing the last three games with an upper-body injury, he has yet to make an impact.
When you think Nashville you think Shea Weber and that howitzer of a shot he has from the blue line. Opponents who have gotten in its way have the bruises to prove it. Roman Josi has been tremendous, recording 55 points and a plus-15 rating this season. Here's another toss-up category. EDGE: Even.
Corey Crawford is having arguably his best season with the Blackhawks. Other than the rough spot he had after his off-ice ankle injury, Crawford's been strong. He was especially key down the stretch, when he led the Blackhawks to victories despite a lack of offense. Pekka Rinne wasn't at his best as the regular season ended but he was still damn good this season, finishing with an NHL third-best 2.18 goals-against average and an eighth-best .923 goals-against average. Why do we sense a few 2-1 games and maybe a shutout or two coming in this series? EDGE: Even.
Power play
We were all set to give this category to the Predators but their power play is actually ranked lower than the Blackhawks' advantage (25th in the league compared to 20th). Who knew? But the Predators did score three power-play goals over their last five regular season games. The Blackhawks, meanwhile, haven't scored a power-play goal since March 30. EDGE: Predators
[NBC SHOP: Gear up for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Blackhawks fans!]
Penalty kill
The Blackhawks took a hit in this department toward the end of the season but there could have been a few reasons for that. Joakim Nordstrom, a good killer, was injured for several games. Then Jonathan Toews was pulled off it to lessen his minutes down the stretch. They finished the regular season 10th best on the kill. The Predators weren't faring much better and were 18th in the NHL on it this season. The kill has been a strong suit for the Blackhawks the past few years. It probably will be again this postseason. EDGE: Blackhawks
Full marks to Nashville: they got a new coach (Peter Laviolette), a new system and a new attitude. The Predators got off to a fantastic start this season before a few hiccups at the end, but they sat atop the Central for quite some time before St. Louis usurped them. The Blackhawks have a wealth of experience at this time of year. They know how to deal with the ups and downs, know how to enjoy the victory for a short time and forget about the crushing overtime loss immediately. And that experience may prove to be the difference. EDGE: Blackhawks

A fleet of 300 electric scooters will be rolled out on Virginia Tech's campus next month through a study by the university's Transportation Institute.
E-scooters from Ford Motor Company subsidiary Spin will be usable on Virginia Tech's campus starting at 7 a.m. until a half-hour after sunset, and will be removed at night and in advance of "high-traffic events" like football game weekends, graduation and during inclement weather. Their movement will be restricted to campus by a geofence that will cause them to slow to a stop when they leave Tech.
While increasingly popular across the country, scooters have been controversial, too, drawing complaints that they litter city sidewalks and are unsafe for users and pedestrians alike.
The scooters will be dockless, however. University policy will require users to park them either near bike racks or in other designated areas. Spin's phone app will prevent users from leaving the scooters just anywhere they want around campus.
The scooters will be treated similarly to bicycles, according to the university policy. People can use them on all roads, paths, grass and sidewalks, "with the exception of times when there is heavy pedestrian traffic on sidewalks and pathways." During those times, riders are supposed to dismount their scooters and walk. Scooters are barred from use in parking garages or buildings.
The Spin scooters will be on campus and ready to use Sept. 3, the date the company will host a kick-off and safety event. The scooters will cost $1 to unlock and 15 cents per minute while in use, according to a company spokeswoman. The company is already operating in more than 50 college campuses and cities.
Safety will be one facet of the Tech research, according to Mike Mollenhauer, director of VTTI's Center for Technology Implementation and chief investigator for the study.
Tech researchers will review footage from cameras on the front of 50 scooters as well as footage from up to 20 fixed cameras in public places around campus. The effort is to capture footage of human-scooter interactions.
The study "allows us to ride along with the rider and encounter what they encounter," Mollenhauer said.
The study period is slated to last 18 months, with scooters operational for a year.
"The resulting data will be used to assess impacts on safety, nuisance, and mobility, identify unique countermeasures to problems associated with e-scooter deployments where possible, and generate deployment requirements and guidelines for future open competition," according to a summary of the study published on the Transportation Research Board's website.
The $467,126 study is being funded by the Safety Through Disruption National UTC, a grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation's University Transportation Centers program, as well as by matching funds from Spin.
"We believe academic research is desperately needed in the micromobility space, and it has the potential to inform operations practices, hardware updates, and infrastructure improvements for years to come," Ted Sweeney, senior manager of Spin's Campus and Safety Policy, said in an email.
Virginia Tech Parking and Transportation Director Jeri Baker said she's excited to have the study and a measured approach to researching scooter usage on campus.
"The idea of having something that will get me across campus with a little less perspiration is exciting," Baker said.
Mollenhauer said researchers will visit the tape to look at how riders interact with the world around them, including regular infrastructure, other vehicles and pedestrians. Ultimately, he hopes the study will impact scooter policy in Blacksburg and beyond.
"This is a first step and evaluation of what the impact [of scooters] is on campus," he said.
The results of the study are ultimately intended to inform Tech's long-term plan for allowing scooters on campus.
Baker said she's unsure if the university will have scooters moving forward. But taking a measured, research-driven approach is certainly preferable to a "renegade drop," like has been performed by scooter companies in other cities. She said scooter companies have been interested in putting their scooters on Tech's campus since at least 2018.
Under a new state law, Virginia localities can't ban the scooters but may regulate them. Roanoke, for instance, requires a permit fee of $5,000 per year. The city is currently considering a permit from the Miami-based e-scooter company Bolt Mobility and is likely to approve the application in the coming weeks with scooters arriving sometime after that.
Blacksburg doesn't have such a fee or any regulations, according to town attorney Larry Spencer. However, he said, the town is looking at potential regulations and town council will likely consider scooter rules in the fall.
Town scooter regulations won't impact the study, Spencer said, because the scooters will be confined to campus by a geofence and will be regulated by the university.
Spin won't pay a fee to operate on campus because of the company's participation in the study. However, that could change in the future when grant funding runs out, Tech officials said.
The company is advertising positions for an operations specialist and Spin scooter charger on campus.

Behind the Scenes
- This monster uses the suit from the Kuliners from Ressha Sentai ToQger, who were actually mass produced giant robots piloted by that series' grunts. Because this monster is never properly named in Power Rangers, this article uses the name of it's Japanese origin.

The development of GIS systems
In addition to plans, developed planning methods and innovative and cost-efficient management methods and management actions, the project will produce a practical information package: Habitat Management Library – 6 top-quality publications in a single publication series. The library will be created in close co-operation between different countries, but in such a way that each partner is responsible for producing the publication. The publication will be printed in an exclusive Natureship series. All publications will be translated into English, Finnish, Estonian and Swedish. These publications will also be available in the Internet.

We are in strange, uncharted territory. By every measure of market sentiment we should have had a bounce on Tuesday. If you look at the amount of protection that has been bought, if you look at oversold indicators like relative strength, if you look at 50- and 200-day moving averages, everything is flashing massively oversold.
The problem is, when there are true fundamental issues, you can stay very oversold for a long time.
We now have three areas of uncertainty: first, China; second, the Fed; and, finally—this is the new one—a sort of fear, irrational or not, on the part of retail investors who have decided they want to sell part of their holdings. That's what we saw at the close today.
That's when reports of large market on close imbalances—stock for sale at the close—started circulating, and the Dow fell apart, dropping more than 400 points in the last hour to end down 204.
Mutual fund orders put in during the day get executed at the close, and that's exactly what happened.
This despite the fact that most of the day stocks were up....there were 3,000 stocks up, 120 down at the NYSE at the open. The German stock market went out mid-morning up 5 percent. That gave everyone a reasonably secure feeling.
Then 3 p.m., ET, comes along and everyone on the floor looks at this enormous pile of sell orders at the close from retail investors, and things head south.
My point is that market on close orders from retail investors are now a new risk for the market in the short term.
When does that end? What we need is a few boring days when everything just slows down. Modest volume. VIX goes back into mid-teens. Some time for the fear to dissipate. Not there yet.

Planning your vacation may become a little less exciting when you have a furry friend who is not that into sightseeing. As opposed to dogs, most of cats belong to 'stay-at-home' type of personalities. They get attached to their environment no less than to their humans, so traveling can be too stressful for them. However, there is a way to make sure that your cat is safe and sound back at home while you are chilling on the beach or hiking in the mountains.
Getting a cat sitter
If you work at the office, your cat is probably used to staying home alone for long periods of time. In this case, he wouldn't mind spending few days in his pleasant solitude with a nice cat sitter coming once or twice a day to refill the food and water bowls, clean the litter box and play a little.
Read more: Do Cats Get Separation Anxiety?
If you're lucky enough to have friendly pet-loving neighbors, you can kindly ask some of them to hold this important mission. Pro tip: homemade cookies are usually the best for persuasion. In case your neighbor adheres to a low-carb diet, you can offer some money or same pet sitting service in your turn. Just make an agreement, and you would never have to ask yourself a question what to do with cat while on vacation.
Don't get distressed if you cannot make the arrangement with the neighbor. On a bright side, a professional cat sitter always knows what to do with your cat in any unusual situation. Moreover, you can ask the sitter to spend more time with your pet for an extra fee and call anytime without feeling intrusive. Here are some things to consider though.
Things to remember when you hire a kitty nanny:
Make sure to get some recommendations before hiring anyone to care of your furry friend. You are probably not the first cat owner in the town to wonder what to do with your cat while on vacation, so some of your friends may already know a great kitty nanny.
It is better to meet in person a few days before you leave and make sure that your cat sitter is someone you would really trust.
Don't forget to leave your vet doctor's number and an extra contact (e.g. a number of a close friend who is staying in town while you are away) apart from the number you can be reached at. If your cat has any health problems, make sure that you tell your pet sitter what to do in case of exacerbation.
You would probably want to lock certain rooms, e.g. your bedroom, so the pet sitter wouldn't have to enter a private space of your house. Make sure it's ok with your cat, as some of felines may revenge severely for being locked out of favourite areas of their habitation.
Even with a trustworthy pet sitter, we can guess that you'd feel much better if you could check on your kitty anytime. We suggest getting the Petcube Camera, so you can enjoy your vacation with a light heart.

Going around the world and filming it as you go may sound like a dream, but travel vlogging is more than jumping on a plane and pressing record.
Canadian travel vlogger Nadine Sykora has been to over 45 countries, broadcasting her adventures on her Youtube channel, Hey Nadine
1. How did you get started?
Well, I started video blogging while I was in my university dorm. I had previously done a lot of theatre growing up and when I moved away to university, between studying Computer Science and playing varsity women's golf, I had no time left for theatre. Then I found Youtube – a creative outlet where I could express myself theatrically – and on my own time. It was perfect.
2. What made you want to start a video blog of your travels?
Once I graduated university, but before I settled into a "real job", I wanted to go travel. So naturally, I continued video blogging and making videos since I was visiting some of the most incredible places in the world and I wanted to showcase them! Then I fell in love with travel and travel vlogs so much I decided to never stop.
3. Talk us through your day…
Each and every day of my life is different. And I love that it is. However, one thing is for sure: I'm always on my phone or computer at some point in the day. I try and get up early as the first thing I do is check my emails and social sites. Then if it's an adventure day, I'm off on some trip or adventure.
If it's an editing day, then I'm at a desk, bed, table, airplane tray, bus seat – I've literally worked from anywhere. Then, I usually don't go to bed till around 1am, with more emails and of course, catching up on other Youtube vloggers.
There are no real days off, no long weekends. Anyone in social media knows you are working all the time, at any time of day. Because you are in control of your success, you can work as hard or as little as you want and your results will reflect that. Knowing this, you must also love what you are doing. And I do, so we are all good.
4. Are you able to live off your vlog? How does it make money?
All my social media channels including my Youtube and blog all make money, and I am employed full time by it. There are MANY ways I make money, but my biggest income sources are: sponsored videos, video production, branded content deals, licensing of footage and photos, written articles and blog posts, sponsored social posts (Tweets, Instagrams and Facebook etc), YouTube Adsense income, appearance fees, acting, spokesperson gigs and affiliate marketing.
5. What's been your #MadeIt, or proudest moment?
I have two: being invited to a summit at the White House as one of the Top 100 Most Influential Travel Bloggers, and being invited as a keynote speaker at the Women in Travel Summit 2016.
6. Have you ever had a moment of self-doubt?
7. What's the best advice, practical and otherwise, you could give to someone who wants to do what you do?
First off, decide what part of what I do you want to do. If you want to travel the world, start with a plane ticket and a destination. If you want to start travel vlogging, bring a camera along with you and document your travels, learn to edit and place them on Youtube.
Latest Stories
Essentially anyone can do what I do, but you have to start somewhere. It's easy to compare yourself to other successful people and think you're never going to get there. But you are forgetting that they all started exactly where you are.
You have to start, you have to work hard, you have to LOVE what you are doing, and you have to stop comparing yourself to other people, because there will ALWAYS be someone better.
8. What are your #LifeGoals?
Everything. I want to experience life.
Now what?

ATTN:MUSICIANS. I need a music teacher to take my playing to the next level. I don't want to learn licks or scales; I want a mentor to guide my progress and constantly point me in the right direction. Preferably somebody who performs regularly and can advise on all aspects of having a 'career'. IT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE A GUITARIST! What I'm after is not instrument tuition. Let me know if you're up for it or know somebody who might be suitable. In return I offer £ (amount TBC) and dedication.

We Live in the Dystopia Young Adult Fiction Warns Us About

Hey, lefties, we finally found your racists for you.

If Democrats Don't Have Jefferson and Jackson, Who's Left?
Last week, the organizers of the Democratic Party's Jefferson-Jackson-Bailey Dinner in Connecticut (Bailey was a local machine politician) voted to drop the two former presidents from the event's name, on the grounds that they were slave owners and therefore unworthy of the honor. There was no debate, and the decision took all of two minutes. […]
Be Kind to Bigots
President Obama's speech Monday on the fight against terrorism was notable for a number of things, including the fact that the candidate who once railed against "endless war" is now the president promising a "generational" struggle. Even more remarkable is the thing that will ensure the struggle goes on forever: the president's insistence that, "Ideologies […]
The Devil's Bargain of "Post-Racial" Politics
Left-leaning writer Jonathan Chait—I won't exactly call him a "liberal," for reasons that will soon become clear—recently stirred up some trouble by complaining about runaway "political correctness" among his fellow lefties. His most telling examples are from an online discussion group for women writers in which the left's obsession with "race, class, and gender" has […]

The city of Coeur D'Alene, they tell me, […]
When You Want a Hammer, Everything Looks Like a Nail

You can now chill at Wilder West, at restro-lounge on Paud Road, Kothrud, which serves Western booze with fusion food. The place is designed like a typical American cowboy pub with quaint posters and cowboy hats. The dimly-lit ambience and the wooden furniture adds to the beauty. With pitchers of beers and fusion starters, you can sip and dine the typical cowboy style. We suggest you to not give a miss to their super-delicious veg and bean exotic tacos. Combine it with Al fungi risotto and the chef's special motichoor ladoo with rabri parfait to have a perfect dining experience. We love that the menu encompasses of fusion dishes from across India and America. They have also included authentic Cajun and Mexican dishes which give the menu a rustic twist. They also have an interesting mix of fusion cocktails. We suggest you try their Cowboy Colada and Alabama Slammer.

What Could Be Better?

iOS 13 already rolled out but, unlike the betas and Apple's announcements, it launched alone. The much-hyped iPadOS came a few days later but the matching macOS Catalina, a.k.a. macOS 10.15 was still nowhere in sight. Apple said it would start rolling out some time in October but didn't give a date users could pin on their calendar. But thanks to Apple's own Danish site, early adopters can look forward to next week to start their journey towards the latest macOS release.
Just like any major macOS release, there are a lot of new features coming in 10.15 Catalina. For iPadOS users, for example, there's the new Sidecar feature that would allow iPad owners to use the slate as a second screen or even a drawing tablet. Other new things include the "universal" Catalyst apps as well as the demise of the venerable iTunes program.
Thanks to Apple's Danish site, one feature, in particular, allowed the public to glean the launch date for the OS. It talks about being able to "Play Extraordinarily", the tagline for the new Apple Arcade service. But unlike other Apple sites, it also talks about how users can find the app in the App Store starting October 4.
Since Apple Arcade can only work on Macs running macOS Catalina, that could very well be close to the date of Catalina's launch. More possibly, unless Apple breaks tradition, macOS Catalina will launch a few days before Friday.
Early adopters will undoubtedly jump at the earliest opportunity but, judging by iOS 13's release, less daring users should probably wait for a few days, perhaps a week or two even. Just a week after launching iOS 13, Apple immediately followed it up with iOS 13.1 to fix critical bugs. The same might be true for iPadOS and macOS Catalina so best to wait a bit for things to settle down and first bugs to surface.

Have you thought about managing your message in more than just English? Why would you do that? What could the benefits possibly be?
Colorado alone ranks 8th in the country in Latin population with 1,071,000 Spanish speakers. This means that 31.8% of the population speaks Spanish. Denver also has a high population of Russian, Polish, Ethiopian and Lebanese populations.
As a business, what are your goals? Knowing that Denver and Colorado have such a high diversity in cultures and languages, how does your brand reach these potential consumers.
It is predicted that Colorado will grow by another 100,000 people by the end of this year alone. This, by the way, was the growth we experienced in 2015. Our unemployment is low and businesses and brands are moving and growing here.
So, now that you know what our demographics look like, here are some tips on what you can do to reach your non English speakers and create brand awareness, know, like and trust:

That is definitely a no brainer question. You need to use different languages when you are marketing so that people across the globe will understand. There is a higher chance of getting the interest of people when they can understand what's written on your marketing strategy. Regardless of the language barrier which is considered as a huge problem for understanding, people will see that you have something to offer. More clients will flock across the globe. That sounds great, isn't it?

Human experimentation has been in practice for centuries and it was not until recently that it has been questioned. By definition human experimentation is when a researcher deliberately induces or alters a person's physical or mental functions. Human experimentation is preformed in ways that might prove therapeutic to the patient, but for which there is as yet insufficient evidence to make this reasonably certain. It can also be preformed in ways that will not be of any conceivable benefit to the particular patient, but which may advance scientific knowledge and human welfare. Although many wonderful medical discoveries have been made through human experimentation, it is also filled with many examples of unethical abuses of patients and their overall well being. Therefore, human experimentation should be refined to make more safe and ethical experiments.
There are many ways human experimentation can be unethical. Most experiments where humans were used prove to be unethical due to abuse by the researcher who is conducting the experiment. Populations used for the experiments are often times chosen unethically. Researchers commonly choose populations that are easy to exploit. They choose prisoners, children, mentally ill, or patients on their deathbeds. All of these populations give consent to experiments based on little knowledge or because they believe their life has no purpose.
Researchers should be choosing populations that understand the meaning of consent and what it means to be involved in a particular experiment. There are many reasons why choosing prisoners, children, mentally ill, and patients on their deathbeds is unethical. According to Susan Sherwin, professor of philosophy and women's studies at Dalhousie University and also creditor of Moral Problems in Medicine, "Most bioethicist's agree, for instance, that research on prisoners is questionable even if the offer consent, because the range of autonomous choice available to them is so restricted that their consent may not be meaningful" (161).

Prisoners who choose to be involved in medical experiments are doing so with little information and for the wrong reasons. Children can also be involved in experiments with the consent of their parents. According to James B.
Nelson, professor of Christian ethics at United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities, and Jo Anne Smith Rohricht, board member of the United Church of Christ Advisory Board on Health and Human Services, "Experiments entailing substantial risk to children are not justified even if the parents give consent" (75).
Researchers should not be allowed to perform experiments on children if they have the knowledge that it will most likely result in risk to the child's health or well being. Patients on their deathbeds should not be allowed to participate in medical experiments. Nelson and Rohricht acknowledged, "To die in dignity means that one has conscious control over one's own personal responses to the dying process. An experiment which intrudes on this personal hour can be inhumanly exploitative" (77).
There is no need to include dying patients in experiments because they may not even be able to finish the procedure.
Researchers who do this are taking respect away from the patient and not looking out for their well being. Many times in medical experiments, researchers forget to take into consideration the well being and safety of their patients. They get so wrapped up in their experiment that they think of their patients as mere objects. Nelson and Rohricht admit, "Misuse comes when a subject is seen as an object of the investigator's control, when the subject is a means to an end in which that person cannot have voluntary share but for which a heavy personal price might have to be paid" (71).
The Term Paper on Medical Law Exam Notes
Who makes the offer in a doctor-patient relationship? Basic principle of 'who makes the offer' comes from Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain v Boots Cash Chemists (Southern) Ltd [1953] 1 QB 401 Presentation of goods on a shelf was an invitation to treat; customer's picking up of good from a shelf and presenting them for payment was an offer to buy (see Lord Birkett LJ) Devereux: the better ...
In experiments, patients trust in their doctors and assume that their doctors will still pay close attention to their health. Even in procedures where the experiment is meant to improve the overall health of the patient there are no guarantees, it is still just an experiment. Sherwin believes, "Even in so-called therapeutic research, where subjects have some hope of personal benefit, no assurances can be offered to the patient-subjects as long as the treatment being evaluated is experimental" (160).
Patients are often fooled into being part of experiments because they think that they will be cured of their illness. Researchers need to take more responsibility for their patients and make sure that they know when their safety and well being are at risk. A few things could be done to make sure their patients knew of the safety risks and threats to their well beings that the experiments could cause.
Sherwin declares, "We need ethical guidelines that will govern patient's participation in medical research to ensure that patient's service to this research is not especially dangerous for the individuals involved" (161).
Having a set of ethical guidelines would make sure that researchers knew that they must inform their patients of the high risks of the experiments. Sherwin also adds, "We should also try to ensure that the research in question contributes to the overall well-being of patients, not to any further harm for them" (161).
If these two things were carried out by researchers, experiments would be run in a much more ethical manner. Researchers need to ensure that their patients have given consent and are informed of what the experiment entails. Consent can be a problem when patients are not informed of the details of the experiment and agree to it without knowing the facts.
According to Nelson and Rohricht, "Most public challenges to medical experimenters have centered on the inadequacy of the consent obtained in particular projects" (71).
Before a patient gives consent they should have all the facts and know what they are signing up for, otherwise it is unethical. Patients also deserve to be informed of all the specific details of the experiment. Many times little information of the effects of the experiment are given, which leads the patient to believe it is safe. Nelson and Rohricht point out, "Since we are aware of enough experiments in which adequate, honest information was not given and in which consent was subtly engineered we have a right to insist on exceptional concern at this point" (77).

Animal experiments can lead to illness and even death in humans by misleading researchers and failing to predict ... alternatives to animal research include studying an actual human being. Volunteers and patients can be used to research conditions like ...
Researchers are tricking their patients into participating in their experiments.
Some things need to be done to ensure consent is received and information about the experiments are given ethically. Many times researchers do not give their patients all the information they deserve. Nelson and Rohricht think, "True partnership compels the investigator to share frankly his or his own personal stake in the project. This is an important ingredient which the subject has a right to know" (77).
The researcher needs to inform patients of his or her purpose in the experiment and what he or she thinks about it. Researchers may give their patients all the facts in a way that is confusing and leaves the patients with little or no understanding of the experiment.
Nelson and Rohricht note, "Communication involves more than simply telling the facts, as honest as the investigator's intent may be" (78).
Each patient has the right to understand what exactly the experiment involves before they sign up to partake in it. Public Policy is also a subject of great concern, because there are very few laws that protect the rights of the patients involved in experiments. The few laws that do exist are rarely enforced. Today, there seems to be more concern for animals involved in experiments rather than people. According to an article from the Medical Post, "Lab rats receive more ethical treatment than human subjects when it comes to being part of medical research" (1).
This is of serious concern to many doctors, lawyers, and ethicist's that feel that humans also deserve ethical treatment. There are very few standards that researchers working with humans need to meet. The article from the Medical Post states, "There are no such review or education programs for research in which human subjects are used" (1).
The Term Paper on Examine the Reasons Why Some Sociologists Choose Not to Use Experiments When Conducting Research?
Examine the reasons why some sociologists choose not to use experiments when conducting research? An experiment is an example of a research method used to collect primary data. Experiments are very rarely used in sociological research, and are far less common than questionnaires, interviews and participant observation. Laboratory experiments are designed to test an hypothesis, with a view to ...
There are many councils that protect animal rights in experiments and ensure their safety in research, but nothing of the sort exists for human research. Facilities that perform unethical treatment to animals are harshly punished where as unethical treatment to humans in experiments is rarely even looked into. According to the article from the Medical Post, "If a research facility is found to be negligent in the way it treats animals, or doesn't meet the standard, research money can be withdrawn.
There is no such penalty in place for centers partaking in human research" (2).
Researchers have free rein of their patients with little supervision or laws to prevent unethical treatment. In order to insure that humans are being treated ethically in experiments, more laws on ethics need to be created. Until there are more laws with strict enforcement of them, unethical human research will still continue. Even the idea of a board that would review the experiments in which humans were used would help to make sure they were preformed ethically.
Experiments that use humans as subjects have advanced, and will continue to advance the field of medicine and help to find cures for diseases. They are an essential part of medicine. According to the article in Government Account Office Report, Clinical trials generate the evidence base for decision-making in all areas of medicine, and they can be especially important for patients with serious or life threatening health conditions that have limited treatment options. For those patients, participation in a clinical trial-a formal investigation of the effects of an experimental intervention on people-may offer the best chance of finding an effective treatment. (1) Human experimentation needs to continue but with a more ethical approach. Laws need to be made to ensure that patients are being treated ethically.

Researchers need to follow guidelines for choosing populations, ensuring the safety and well being of their patients, receiving consent, and giving a through account of what exactly the experiment entails. If all of this was done, human experimentation would be looked upon much more highly and everyone could benefit from it.

Asking Pakistan's powerful spy agency ISI to severe ties with terrorist organisations, in particular the "Haqqani network", top U.S. military commander Admiral Mike Mullen has said America was prepared to take all appropriate measures to protect its people in the region.
"The ISI has been doing this —— working for —— supporting proxies for an extended period of time. It is a strategy in the country and I think that strategic approach has to shift in the future," Mr. Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said in response to a question at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a Washington—based think tank.
"It's my own view, it's going in the wrong direction in addition to those that they they're proxy issues associated with Haqqani and others. There's absolutely no doubt in my mind that Haqqani was behind the attack on the American embassy the other day. Haqqani was behind the truck bomb attack which injured 77 US soldiers, killed five Afghans.
"The Taliban have an atrocious record for killing Afghan citizens. And that should never be lost. So we're very focused on that. The Haqqani piece of this has got to be reversed," he said.
Mr. Mullen said US is prepared to "take appropriate action to protect our men and women, first of all, in the fight and certainly to protect the Afghan citizens who have been devastated by this network as well".
He, however, refrained from going into any specifics on this issue.
"I would say that broadly but I would never go into the specifics of what that would be, as much as you would like me to do that," he said.
Mr. Mullen refuted reports that lack of helicopters prevented Pakistan from taking action against terrorists in North Waziristan.
"I don't think there's direct link between improving their helicopter fleet and the decision that I think the ISI has to make to strategically disengage.
"Over the course of the —— certainly the time I've been chairman, I don't know what the exact number is —— but there's a large amount of equipment that has been delivered to the Pakistani military," Mr. Mullen said.

Editor's note: This post is part two of two that looks at four responses to trouble in our lives and four reasons to trust God found in Psalm 27. These responses or instructions reveal the "how" to trust God when we have trouble. This post looks at the third and fourth responses; part one is found here.
Introductory Recap:
There are various kinds of troubles in life that find us, though we don't want them. We wish that troubles, trials, and difficulties were rare and unusual, but Scripture regularly reminds us of the reality and regularity of problems and trouble in life (e.g., Job 5:7; Ps 22:11; 25:17; Jer 20:18; Lam 2:11; Jn 16:33; 2 Tim 3:1-5a; 2 Tim 3:12-13; 1 Pet 4:12; 1 Thess 3:4).
When we have troubles, what is our source of help? How might we live as those who are "more than conquerors?" When our counselees are experiencing overwhelming grief, pain, and sadness how will we console and strengthen them? Psalm 27 provides an answer. Whether we are experiencing trouble or we are helping a counselee who is experiencing great distress and trial, the solution is to learn to trust God. Trouble does not preclude God's power; God never fails or forsakes his people.
The first response to trouble is to remember God's character. This provides encouragement and confidence. David's response brings him to a place where he rests in God who is an unwavering rock and fortress of defense. Like David, God's faithful people have always started with his character as the basis of their trust and rest (e.g., Rom 8:38-39; Phil 1:6; 2 Tim 1:12). If someone's heart is troubled by trials and difficulties, help them cultivate genuine confidence and trust in God. He is (infinitely) strong. It is his nature to be our defender. Help them rest in him (alone).
The second response is to seek God. Instead of following the fleshly inclination to run from God, the believer must intentionally run to God and embrace him in fellowship. As we seek God, David reminds us that God will conceal me (v. 5a), he will hide me (v. 5b), he will lift me up on a rock in victory (v. 5c), and he will lift up my head (v. 6a). Those phrases all indicate that God gives security and safety and protection and shelter for his people. He will give victory and he will remove shame. This is no guarantee that the believer will always be restored to health and never suffer harm, but it is a reminder that whether it is now or in eternity, he can trust God to provide for him. When God's people go to him, they will have all the provision and protection they need.
3. A Prayer for Troubled Hearts: "Teach Me, God"
David demonstrates that when in trouble, it is good to remember the character of God and it is good to seek fellowship with God, and then thirdly, he also illustrates the priority of prayer. When his problem arose, David prayed. And then… things apparently did not change (vv. 10, 12). So these verses constitute David's prayer even when God didn't immediately answer. These verses are not a "whine," but a declaration of complete abandonment and trust in God.
Notice all the ways David affirms his dependence on God in prayer: Hear, O Lord (v. 7a), be gracious (v. 7b), my heart said (v. 8), do not hide (v. 9a), and do not turn (v. 9b). This repetitive language indicates an intensity of soul and a great trouble and problem — PLEASE, God. But it is not a prayer of despair, it is a prayer of "abandonment to God," as one commentator says. David sees God as loyal and able and knows that God is the only one to whom he can go.
Notice also the content of David's prayer:
- He affirms God's character when he appeals to God's grace ("be gracious to me," v. 7).
- When David says, "Your face, O Lord, I shall seek" (v. 8) he means, "I want You…" This is a parallel thought to verse four — "I want to be with you." And then he reasserts that same desire in verse 9 — "do not turn Your servant away," and "do not abandon me nor forsake me." These are desires for sustained fellowship with God. He cannot bear the thought of being estranged from God, particularly since all others — including family — have left him (v. 10).
- When he says, "Teach me … lead me in a level path" David is also asking God for correction and transformation (v. 11). Because of the attacks of the enemies, David needs to know how to respond and what to do (cf. 25:4-5). And because of the troubles and dangers incited by the adversaries, David didn't want to walk down the crooked path of those unrighteous men. So he wants direction and instruction from the Lord.
- Having asked for God's glory and to know God and to be sanctified, then David finally asks for protection as his last request — "do not deliver me over to… my adversaries" (v. 12). David entrusts himself to the Lord knowing only God is able to protect him from the enemies (cf. 41:2). David's trust in God is a great contrast to the violent treachery of the ungodly.
This four-fold prayer of David guides the sufferer in how he might similarly pray: trusting in God's attributes and character, pursuing his fellowship, seeking transformation, and asking for provision.
And, again, God did not immediately answer this prayer (as vv. 10, 12 suggest). This is a reminder that prayer is not a lottery ticket provision. Prayer is the way we affirm our trust in God — even when he doesn't answer immediately. When your counselee prays, and there is no immediate provision, remind your counselee that because the objective is transformation into the likeness of God and fellowship with him, it is better to have prayed and not receive the desired answer than to get relief from the trial without prayer. The suffering may be God's means to make the counselee continually dependent on the Lord in prayer.
4. A Commitment for Troubled Hearts: Wait for God
It's hard to wait.
But notice what David says. First, "I would have despaired…" (v. 13). His goal was not protection from his enemies, but to see demonstrations of the goodness of God (which was not necessarily the removal of his problems). Then he affirms that he believed he "would see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living" (v. 13b). He trusts that God will do good and protect him here on earth (though sometimes God's earthly provision is by taking his people to glory, e.g., 2 Tim 4:17-18).
Then he exclaims, "Wait … be strong … take courage" (v. 14). These are David's summary exhortations to those who would sing this song. They are a reminder that the Lord is working, the Lord is strong, and the Lord will accomplish his work in his time. In fact, twice in the final verse David says to wait. It is a double reminder for the weak-hearted: It is worth waiting for God.
But these words are not just for the singers of the song — they are also David's words to himself. As he is waiting for the Lord's answer, he is speaking to himself, commanding and counseling himself to wait for God. He reminds himself that however long it takes for God to answer, it is worth the wait; "rest in him … do not despair … he will provide."
These are good words for our counselee's souls as well. Wait for the Lord. Be patient. Don't be fearful. He will accomplish his good purposes through this trouble in his good time.
Our counselees (and us too!) will have problems in life. And sometimes it may feel like they are only moving from one problem to the next. This is neither unusual nor extraordinary.
As we walk with our counselees through their difficulties, we want to gently ask them if those trials move them closer to God. The temptation may be to ask, "Why, God?" or "Won't you stop this trial now?" But the one thing to ask God is, "May I see you and be with you in the midst of this trial — so I can know I am safe?"

I remember the mid-1970s TV advert and the accompanying pages in comics, but can anyone remember all of the sweets shown?
Fruit Salad still rocks now! Especially the long 10p ones.
What was Hunk though?
Not a fantastic picture, but I'm sure it will be of interest to some members and guests.
What the Ebay seller has to say...
...poster from Trebor sweet company from 1977 (circa). It depicts a scene from the fantasy world of Treborland where exotic sweets are made: a place of 'fun and magic...and where every wish is as good as a promise..'
This was a prize for designing a Trebor stamp on a competition...
also includes a letter of thanks from John jenkins, one of the people at Trebor.
I don't remember Treborland - more a Bazooka Joe, Curly Wurly and Atomic Thunderbuster boy.
But that poster shows the difference between then and now.
Back then, they could say anything they liked - the secret ingredient is fun or whatever.
Now they have to tell you that the secret ingredient is beef gelatin.
