According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, toddlers and preschool aged children need at least 60 minutes of unstructured, active play every day.
Unstructured play (or child-initiated, exploratory physical activity) has loads of benefits to early childhood health. Playing outside in parks and open spaces promotes healthy physical activity by encouraging young children to run, skip, jump, and shake their sillies out. Playing with friends teaches little ones how to share and take turns. And what better way for a child to learn about nature than to find a wiggly worm or allow a butterfly to land on her nose?
Many families like to visit local parks and playgrounds, but how can families find out which ones are the best?
Enter KaBOOM!, a national non-profit dedicated to saving play for America's children. We've partnered with KaBOOM!, First 5 Contra Costa and East County Regional Group to create bilingual maps of the best playspaces for little ones in the East Contra Costa County cities of Pittsburg, Antioch, and Bay Point.
KaBOOM! also provides an interactive website called Map of Play, a "playspace finder and a way to gather data on where playspaces exist, the condition of existing playspaces, and where playspaces are needed, so that we all can participate in improving the state of play in our own communities."
Map of Play allows local residents to enter information about neighborhood parks and playgrounds. All you have to do is enter a zip code or city and a map of play space near you will appear. There's a mobile phone app too, which uses your smart phone's GPS or a zip code to locate playgrounds near you. The best thing about Map of Play is that it's user generated. That means your neighbors found the parks on the map and uploaded information about them for the benefit of others.
So, what if you search for parks in your area and don't see any parks listed? That means that no user has entered any information yet. This is your chance to share your expertise on what you know about playspaces in your area.
If you are interested in uploading information about parks in your neighborhood, here are some key things keep an eye out for during your next visit to a local park:
- Is the play equipment age appropriate? Some play structures will have signs to let you know what ages should play on it.
- Is the playspace fenced in?
- Are there restrooms and water fountains? Are they functional?
- Are there sidewalks leading to the park? Safe crosswalks at the park entrances?
- Are there benches around the playspace? Picnic tables or BBQ pits?
- Is the park clean? Do you see litter or graffiti? Are there trash cans available?
- Are there other games and activities available for young children and families, like tic-tac-toe panels, sandboxes, walking paths, basketball courts, or soccer fields?
You can upload photos to the site too. Be sure to take pictures while you're there so folks visiting the site can see how good your park is.
Going on a park outing and sharing information on KaBOOM! Map of Play is a great way to both ensure that your children or children in your care are getting enough physical activity and a wonderful way to share what you know about parks in your community. You're the expert! Share what you know about a local park today.

I went to my first Friday Night Magic (FNM) draft last week at First Pick Games, on Stoneway.
Most Friday nights I spend with Hitomi, but I wanted to play Magic for some reason.
The group were all guys. I ended up playing Father Rafael (a priest) first, and beat him handily. The second and fourth opponent were obviously veterans and with my bad draws I lost pretty quickly. I had one draw of all lands! I managed to mix up my sideboard with my deck and made my graveyard my sideboard. I also made a few bad draft choices. I should have drafted towards more deck synergy. I don't know if I'll go again. The people are pretty nice but Friday night isn't the choice night to hang with smelly nerds.
Saturday I took HItomi to the airport and then went back to bed. I ended up near Gasworks Park, to watch the Fremont Solstice Parade. Lots of naked cyclists this year (I heard ~600) around 12PM and then it was about 1:30 until the first of the floats came by. In the meantime, I went to lunch at the Essential Bakery, which totally screwed up my order. Anyway, the floats were fun to see but I was pretty cold sitting on the side of the street. I could also tell being at the end of the parade route wasn't a good idea, since by then things were a bit discombobulated and people were tired.
I checked out the SIFF schedule and decided to head to a few movies in the afternoon: Why not with all the clouds and possible rain? SIFF cinema is classy and I watched two movies: Hipsters, and Nowhere Boy. I won't go into these movies, but the former I consider a must see if you like musicals. I kind of gotten into them since the movie Chicago.
I went home and watched some anime (Gunslinger Girl) and then some more Prison Break. Prison Break is good/bad: Lots of clever ideas you expect to work out but something unexpected goes wrong at the end of an episode. This is fun but then seems also unsatisfying to see happen over and over again. And thankfully, by the end of Season 3 the main characters now have the sense to kill bad guys, who have had no reluctance to kill them.
Sunday was Father's Day. (Whoops, sorry real Dad.) It was off to dim sum with Tim and Mom, followed by a stop at Seattle's Best Tea, a look at boats on Lake Union, and a quest for bubble tea in the U District.
Tim and Mom had their discussion about Rowan and Alsia. Reconciliation would be nice for Rowan's sake, says Mom. But Alsia effectively limit the discussion to whatever she feels comfortable with, lack emotional interest in other people, etc. So why would Tim want to be around Alsia, who chooses on a whim if she she wants to be connected to you? I don't have anything against Alsia, per se, but I don't really hold much interest to visit either.
Hitomi flew back from Las Vegas around 5PM and I met her downtown at around 6PM.
Hitomi and I ate at a pretty neat Hong Kong style restaurant. I miss Hong Kong. I helped her set up her website for uploading the Momoi concert video she took, while we watched it. Momoi in concert is fun, but I feel like I need to see her with a band and all her Japanese fans: There's something sad about her coming to the U.S. without much of an audience like she has in Japan.

AbstractDiabetic retinopathy is the condition where the retina is damaged due to leaking fluid from the blood vessels into the retina which causes blindness. Fundus Camera is used to acquire the retinal images based on monocular indirect ophthalmoscopy. The main aim of the project is to detect the abnormalities like microaneurysm and exudates from retinal fundus images and to classify the severity based on the features extraction. The diagnosis of diabetic retinopathy is achieved by preprocessing the input image and by the segmentation of microaneurysm and exudates. The detection of microaneurysm is done by edge detection and exudates using thresholding technique. The optic disc is eliminated from the segmented image by the creation of binary mask. The features like correlation, energy, entropy, sum average, cluster shade, maximum probability, Inverse Difference Normalized (IDN), Inverse Difference Moment Normalized (IDMN), homogeneity, contrast are extracted from the gray scale image using Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). The classification of severity is accomplished by Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm.

Plantagenets: The Warrior Kings and Queens Who Made England
by Dan Jones
Viking Adult, 2013. 534 pgs. Non-fiction
This was a fun, engaging and interesting book. I would recommend this to anyone with a general interest in history and British/medieval history more specifically. The book maintains good pace as it illustrates the trials and challenges of the Plantagenet dynasty as it struggles to grasp and hold power and territories. The emphasis is on war, diplomacy and the tensions between the monarchs, lords and commons. The evolving role of Parliament and the constitutional crises I found to be particularly interesting. For those who prefer a history of society and culture will find this to be somewhat disappointing. The ladies of the dynasty are by and large neglected. The fan of historical fiction will find this an interesting resource to compare the writings of Sharon Kay Penman, etc. against. All in all, a good book and a fun quick read.

I haven't read many webtoons, but of the ones I have read, these remind me of Bangtan's precious maknaes. Check 'em out~~♡
Asleep Beside You: romance, drama, mystery Super Secret: romance, school, supernatural Because he's charming and thoughtful.
The author of Asleep Beside You is so sweet and tries to update A.S.A.P - I feel like Jimin would be like her. The art of Super Secret is proportionate (♡) and really cute with touches of mystery.
ShootAround: drama, humor, zombies, life Because he's funny, open, and a tad complex.
After watching Bon Voyage, I learned that there's a lot more to Taehyung than I thought. ShootAround is complex like that. Likewise, it's relatable and touches on some tricky subjects.
SIDEKICKS: superhero, action, bildungsroman Because he's passionate and adventurous.
This webtoon is a coming-of-age story, which suits JK since ARMY has witnessed so much growth from his debut days. It also has humor and drama; like JK, it's a mix of things. Also, the main protagonist parallels him in that they both run on immense passion.
Thanks for reading~
I'll do one for Hyung Line soon ♡

- Malay for Singapore
Our translation agency has tips for doing business successfully in Singapore. Doing business in Singapore
Our translation agency has tips for doing business successfully in Singapore.
Thorough preparation is important when doing business abroad. That doesn't just mean arranging the right permits and setting up a production line, but also finding out about the dominant business culture. The further you are away from home, the more different the culture. In order to help you get started, the experts in our translation agency have compiled a few tips for doing business in Singapore.
Business culture
A large number of multinationals have offices in Singapore and a lot of expats work in the country. It is highly likely that you will mainly have to deal with these people at business meetings. It is, however, normal, to observe Singaporean business etiquette. Dress is formal, although men often don't wear a jacket. A long-sleeved shirt and tie are worn, however.
Getting to know each other
One of the first things you are likely to be asked at a business meeting is what you think of Singapore. It will be appreciated if you know something about Singapore and if you have already visited a few places of interest before your business meeting. It is then polite to ask about the other person's life but you should avoid the subject of family unless the other person brings it up themselves.
Make sure that you have enough business cards. Exchanging cards is very important in Singapore. Present and receive cards with both hands. Study the card you receive thoroughly and demonstrably put it away carefully.
Gifts are extremely important if you want to build a business relationship in Singapore. People like to give and receive them. They not only represent friendship for people in Singapore, they also express the hope of a successful collaboration in the future. A gift is very important therefore. Be aware, however, that its symbolic value is much more important than its financial value. Typically British gifts are always appreciated, which is something to bear in mind. Pay attention to the colour as well: white, black, and dark blue are not appreciated while gold and red are very popular.
The language
Singapore has as many as four official languages: Malay, English, Tamil, and Mandarin. In practice, the most frequently used languages are Mandarin and English. The government encourages the use of English for official purposes. Thankfully this makes things much easier for foreign investors in Singapore.
In some cases, you may need a sworn translation out of, or into, English for undertakings in Singapore. Our translation agency can help you with that. You are also at the right place for translations into, and out of, Mandarin or Malay. We work with professional translators who are native speakers of the target language. We also select the right specialist for every project, whether it is commercial, technical, or legal.

There have been a lot of changes in public education in the United States of America (USA). Some of them include privatization and the rapid increase in the use of virtual education. This has greatly changed the shape of the traditional brick and mortar schools.
I would like to strongly support online education. Many investors should come up to establish a lot of virtual high schools. If this happens, a lot of learners will get an opportunity to further there education without unnecessarily travelling to schools. Virtual schools will enable students to learn in their own pace and select the most appropriate course for them without unnecessary influence from the teachers. Besides, it will create flexibility and give room to the children who may not be interested in going to school.
However, virtual education may not be applicable to all sorts of learners because of their uniqueness. Unless well designed, it may not benefit slow learners and those with special needs like the disabled. This is because such students require extra coaching and attention, guidance and counseling. At the same time, it may be quite difficult to acquire a typical home chat room conducive for all sorts of subjects. This will make virtual education an expensive affair in the long run.
If all the major stake holders are brought together as a team, virtual education will greatly develop and appeals to the corporate world. As a result, it will attract more investors to come up and supplement government efforts. A part from providing an alternative education, it will be a relief to the political leadership of USA. Its success will obviously kill the brick and mortar schools. No student will opt to go to school to be bullied or infected with allergies. This will make the brick and mortar schools lose value and eventually disappear.
In conclusion, I would like to say that the emergence of virtual education will make an imminent contribution to public education. However, the program should be properly designed by involving all the professionals and all the stake holders. This will make it address the diverse needs of American graduates.

Mystery Case Files – Return to Ravenhurst - Game Play Hints and Tips
About Mystery Case Files – Return to Ravenhurst
Return to Ravenhurst is a sequel to the popular Mystery Case Files hidden object game series. Emma's soul has been freed, but her spirit has come back to warn you that Ravenhurst Manor is still haunted with evil. Solve the mystery by finding clues and items that will unlock the ominous secrets.
Game Play Basics
The exploration of Ravenhurst Manor takes place through several sections that have multiple hidden object rooms, clues and other types of puzzles to solve. Search through scenes by carefully scanning the area by slowly dragging your computer mouse over each area. New areas to explore will be indicated by your mouse turning into an arrow icon. When your mouse highlights a magnifying glass, click on it to get clues or see the section up close.
Hidden object areas can be identified by white sparkly icons. Click on them to reach the detailed screen with the list of items you need to locate. Hints are available through the Crime Computer that looks like an old fashioned typewriter at the bottom right corner of the screen. As you locate items, it speeds up the time it takes between using the hint option. When all objects on the list are found, you will be rewarded with a special item that will be useful in another area of the game.
Other areas have puzzles to solve that will require a bit of detective work. Frequently consult your Case Guide located at the bottom left of your screen. As you uncover bits of information, it is logged into this book that can be viewed at any time. The notes will contain drawings and other clues to help you out.
Interacting with Items
Tools, keys and other items are used to interact with your environment to solve puzzles and complete other tasks. To use an item, point your mouse towards the bottom of the screen to reveal your inventory. Click on the item you need and then click on the object you wish to interact with. If it is the correct one, the game will react accordingly and the item will be removed from you. Otherwise, the game will give you a snide remark about your detective skills and the item is put back into your inventory. If you are not sure what item to use, drag and drop it into the Crime Computer for analysis. A picture of where the item needs to be used will display.
Skipping Puzzles
Certain puzzles in Mystery Case Files – Return to Ravenhurst can be a bit difficult. If you are having trouble, use the "Skip Puzzle" button (when it becomes highlighted) to give you the solution and special item.
Winning the Game
Return to Ravenhurst has over 150 different scenes to explore. There is no time limit in the game, so don't rush and search each area closely for the best results. Once all puzzles, hidden objects and tasks have been completed you win the game.

Timothy had endured a miserable wreck of a car as his conveyance for what seemed like forever, both ugly in its model and even more so in how the years had maimed it. The dismal thing had made awful sounds, looked like some giant had chewed it up and spat it out and even began to smell strangely, as if it started rotting from deep within its wretched bowels. But now, Timothy would enjoy his drive on the way to the accounting office where he labored and would even more deeply relish the look of surprise on everyone's face when he parked in the employee lot. He had told no one of his miraculously fortuitous cash inheritance from his aunt and how he had planned to buy a new car with the windfall. Now the employees at Beans Accounting would get to revel in his automotive grandeur.
Timothy's daily drive to work was fairly simple. A series of judiciously traveled streets kept him off the gridlocked highways and despite it being a few miles longer, he arrived at work quicker and with a lot less stress. With a new car, he worried about the possibility of accidents on the highway, making his choice of side streets that much more efficacious. He wanted NOTHING to mar his wondrous new vehicle and all the attention that he would be receiving that was his due.
Of the five streets Timothy navigated to reach his destination, the fourth thoroughfare, Chase Street, was the longest and straightest. After Chase Street, there was a right hand turn onto Inveigle Avenue, which took a brief curvilinear path to his office building and he would arrive. As he proceeded down Chase, he noticed an enormous dark splotch in the road up ahead. He recognized it as a pothole he had swerved around for the past couple of years. It had always been sizable, but it seemed larger than ever this morning, taking up the entire side of the street upon which he was traveling. Before he knew what he was doing he stopped short of the yawning chasm, unwilling to get any nearer. Like some crater left behind by a comet strike, its jagged lip dropped away to unguessed depths. He was not chancing his beautiful new car on that abomination! He could ruin his suspension, damage tires, wreck any number of important systems! He turned into the driveway of a nearby house, called the office and told them he was going to be late, found a different, longer, far more circuitous route to work on his phone and made it there without further hindrance.

Program Description
The Master of Arts Program in the Humanities is an interdepartmental program tailored to the needs of individual students who pursue interdisciplinary graduate study in the humanities and interpretive social sciences. The candidate must define a theme, historical period, or course of analysis and select appropriate course work with the aid and approval of an academic adviser (i.e., the director of graduate study). While there are no unique faculty or course offerings for this program, students have access to graduate faculty and courses offered in 11 humanities and social sciences departments. Students typically blend course work from multiple departments to tailor their own curriculum and research opportunities.
Program requirements include:
(1) A minimum of thirty (30) credit units
You must register for and complete a minimum of 30 credit units.
(a). This must include a minimum of 27 graded credits:
Graduate courses are level 500 or above. Up to 6 graded credits can be advanced undergraduate course credits of Level 200-499. Students usually also complete a graduate research credit in preparation for their final examination.
(b). There is a 12 credit per term cap on enrollment to promote successful completion. Nine (9) credit hours is considered full time.
(2) A minimum of three semesters of continuous enrollment** and payment at the flat-rate tuition and fees set annually by The Graduate School
Note: Summer Term I and II combined are equivalent to one semester.
**After three semesters of full-time study and enrollment or that equivalent, the student's approved academic load will be changed to part-time status, and tuition charges will be set at the costs noted under the Cost of Attendance.
(3) Either a final Thesis (usually 40-60 pages) with a Master's Exam (60-90 minutes), OR a Non-thesis Master's Exam (using two (2) substantial course papers) successfully defended with an Examining Committee of three graduate faculty (at least two must be Full graduate faculty).
General requirements for the M.A. degree
Prerequisites and Admission
The Master's Program in the Humanities offers students the opportunity to develop an intellectual and research focus not otherwise available in any traditional graduate program. It therefore seeks students who are interested particularly in traversing a number of traditional fields, or who are interested in pursuing new approaches to traditional humanities subjects. Applicants must hold a bachelor's degree in any field from an accredited institution (or the equivalent to a U.S. bachelor's degree), and must demonstrate sufficient background in humanities to permit study at the graduate level. Admission is by regular application to the Graduate School. Students may enroll full time or part time. | Admissions Information

Do You Know Which Privacy Legislation Affects Your Business?
Business must comply with federal, state, and local privacy legislation in regard to their handling of personally identifiable information in the United States. This means that protecting and appropriately handling this material is not only important for maintaining the trust and safety of clients and employees, it's also required to avoid fines and other damages from the government.
There is a host of privacy legislation for different industries.
Financial Sector
The Sarbanes-Oxley Act and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act both govern how business in the financial sector handle confidential information. Simply put, together these acts protest investors and the public by regulating corporate disclosures and protect the privacy of consumer information held by financial institutions and service provides. However, both pieces of legislation are complex: you should make sure your business understands the implications of these acts if you are in the financial sector. This is an essential step to make sure you are handling all PII correctly.
Medical Sector
HIPAA (The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) may be the most well-known privacy legislation in the United States. It provides privacy standards for protected health information. Additionally, The Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) also protects the privacy of paper and electronic protected health information.
Hospitality/Hotel Sector
The General Data Protection Regulations come into effect in 2018, and while the legislation is from the European Union, it will impact companies worldwide. If you're in the hospitality industry, you should make sure you understand this legislation.
Retail Sector
Two main pieces of legislation in the United States impact the retail sector: The Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) and the Federal Trade Commission Act. The former regulates business that possess consumer information, and the latter protects consumers in regard to offline and online privacy and data security policies.
Human Resources
Of course, HR plays a very significant role in protecting personally identifiable information. HIPPA and FACTA govern privacy of consumer information by employers.
Best Practices
No matter what industry you're in, it's important to understand the research and understand the relevant legislation as it relates to your business.
- Understand your legal obligations.
- Conduct comprehensive risk assessments.
- Create and implement a security plan.
- Create and implement a detailed document management process in accordance with the relevant legislation. This process should cover all steps from creation to disposal/destruction.
- Have a Chief Information Security Officer to oversee security. This may not need to be an entirely new role, but an important responsibility one of your staff takes on.
- Educate employees on the handling of confidential information.
- Create and implement secure work processes.
- Monitor partners' document security protocols.
- Work with TrueShred.
Protect Your Business with TrueShred
Again, making sure you handle confidential information appropriately is necessary not just for client/employee trust and safety, it's also necessary to stay compliant with the legislation for your sector. Disposal and destruction of personal information is an essential part of this. If you're looking for professionals who can handle your secure document destruction needs in the DMV area, contact TrueShred to find out what we have to offer. We perform shredding services in the Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC area.

Look! It's a wedding! The kind of wedding which will definitely go well and not be spoiled by any kind of supernatural shenanigans whatsoever.
And yes, it's the trailer for a trailer for the film. The full trailer will be revealed at the MTV Movie Awards this weekend, by Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart themselves. And the full film will be out in the summer. And that'll act as a trailer for Part 2, which will very probably also have a trailer, and a trailer for that trailer.

› Forums › Interesting Cases › Walgreens Pharmacist Denies Woman Miscarriage Drug on Moral Grounds
- This topic has 2 replies, 1 voice, and was last updated 2 years ago by Anonymous Moderator.
Pharm For LifeGuest
A recent case in the news reported on an Arizona pharmacist who refused to dispense a prescription for misoprostol based on moral objection. On the surface this is not particularly unique/complex/interesting, however, it does strike me how much variability there was in the news headlines to describe the same situation:
"Walgreens Pharmacist Refuses To Give Woman Prescription To End Pregnancy"
"Pharmacist denies woman miscarriage drug on moral grounds"
"US pharmacist denies woman abortion medicine based on 'moral objection'"
Even reading the content of some news articles it was difficult to ascertain the exact details of the situation because of subtleties in the language used.
As a pharmacist, the formal education I received on misoprostol in women's health focused on its use for abortion (i.e. Mifegymiso here in Canada). It was only recently when I started working in hospital pharmacy did I learn of other uses in women's health (i.e. postpartum).
I certainly wouldn't want to deny morally licit, medically appropriate drugs, but also need to feel certain of its indication when there is a chance it could be used to terminate a life. Based on the information in the articles, the patient told the pharmacist she was pregnant and the baby stopped developing. Perhaps the situation could have unfolded differently if there was clear information such as fetal heartbeat no longer present, misoprostol used for medical management of intrauterine fetal death.
(Sorry if this didn't quite meet the criteria for "interesting case" – I found it helpful writing about it, as such situations can be difficult & delicate to navigate.)
Any comments on what you see misoprostol used for in women's health in practice? (is it used on its own anymore for abortion?) Any thoughts on the case?CecilyGuest
I think it's definitely a very difficult situation from a moral point of view, in determining whether the use of misoprostol is terminating a life or simply helping to clear out remaining products. As you say the terminology is pretty unclear. An indication of "miscarriage" would not differentiate between an inevitable miscarriage that still has a heart beat, and one where foetal death has occurred. So it may be impossible to tell unless specific details of the case are provided, and I don't think this could be enforced due to the need for confidentiality?Anonymous ModeratorMember
The below article states that the there was no heartbeat.
However, in her facebook post, she did NOT mention that fact. This leads me to believe that she did not mention that to the pharmacist. All she mentions in her facebook post is "the baby's development had stopped and I ultimately will have a miscarriage." Just like Cecily mentioned, that description of the baby could still allow for a heartbeat, which would make the drug an abortifacient.

(Hesperia)—The recent Grand Opening of the Ross Dress For Less store at the High Desert Gateway Center in Hesperia meant more than a new source to find clothes at a deal, it meant the creation of a total of 70 jobs for local residents.
"We thought (in the beginning) that it was about 45 jobs. When the (Ross) regional manager made his announcement, he said it was 70 jobs. All local jobs here," Hesperia Mayor Thurston "Smitty" Smith said Wednesday night.
In addition, the High Desert Gateway Center has seen the recent openings of Golden Corral Restaurant, Marshalls, Styles For Less, Rue 21 and Farmer Boys Restaurant.
It is estimated that all these stores have combined for the creation of more than 200 local jobs.

Choosing the Right Keywords for SEO
Imagine search engine optimization (SEO) keywords are like fish. In the entire ocean of online content, with thousands of blogs, millions of blog posts and billions, if not trillions of words, choosing the right keywords for SEO can be like fishing for minnows in the Pacific.
But what if we make the body of water smaller?
What happens to our fish? They're more likely to get hooked on your line.
Now imagine your blog posts and landing pages as their own lakes. Nouns act as the 'meat' of your content, like salmon, bass and trout are for a lake.
Adjectives shimmer as cichlids, adding color and flair, while articles are the bait fish. Verbs and adverbs act as the current, not allowing your pages to remain stagnant.
Any links from your page are rivers leading to other trusted fishing sources.
You are a lake creator who provides anglers, your readers, a great place to fish the waters – even if they're just skimming over it.
And like every fisherman's tale, there's always a trophy fish worth fighting for. This fish is your SEO keyword, meant to draw more and more anglers to your lake.
The more unique the fish, however, the less busy your lake will be. In terms of content, only a handful of readers may be searching for your keyword each month, but the ones who do find your content are more likely to stay and read your site.
Your lake will stand out by being one of the few that exist offering that particular fishing experience.
If you want to attract more fishermen, offer more digestible fish. But as you start to simplify or shorten your SEO keywords, consider there could be millions of lakes just like yours across the world.
Let's think of this post as Valorous Lake.
Look around you, what do you see? How many other boats are on the water? For this lake at this time, there aren't many. The waves are calm because there's hardly anyone else on the water.
That's because Valorous Lake chose the SEO phrase choosing the right keywords for SEO as our trophy fish.
Sure, it's a long keyword, but only 90 fishermen search for this particular trophy every month and there are only 1.05 million lakes with it on earth. Because our lake is newer and freshly optimized for searches, we should be one of the top destinations for our keyword.
Now imagine Valorous Lake chose SEO keywords as its trophy fish.
You'd see a lot more boats. Currently, SEO keywords is searched 1,000 times every month. It's a highly digestible fish that's easy to catch.
But where our more complex trophy, choosing the right keywords for SEO, was found in 1.05 million lakes, our condensed trophy fish is found in 30.6 million lakes. The odds of someone finding our lake are now only half as good.
If you need help attracting fishermen to your lake, fill out a form or schedule an appointment to see how Valorous Circle can optimize your online content.

The Champions edition of Britain's Got Talent will launch this weekend on ITV with a number of former winners returning to the stage.
Amongst those performing once again is Paul Potts and George Sampson who will be competing to be crowned the ultimate winner.
But as the contestants fight it out on stage, it seems the judges will also clash with Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon opening up on one particular row.
Judge David Walliams revealed: "There's a lot of sexual tension, but not in the way you might imagine."
Spilling more details of the clash, Amanda jumped in to explain: "It's a good thing that me and Alesha are in the middle, that's all I'm saying."
But it sounds like it's not just a one off as Simon Cowell noted: "I think Amanda and Alesha particularly last night.
"Credit to Alesha, you were on fire last night."
"She never stopped laughing, I thought she was going to give birth," Amanda laughed.
It certainly sounds like viewers will be entertained as the judges go head to head to find the ultimate champion.
Details of Amanda and Alesha's clash come after Simon Cowell opened up on why Susan Boyle won't feature on this year's The Champions.

Speaking on Lorraine, he explained: "I don't think she should have done it this year.
"She did America's Got Talent Champions and if this does well, we'll do it again next year and it will be an annual event."
The media mogul added: "So you've got to save something."
Fans will remember Susan's now infamous audition back in 2008 when she wowed the judges with her performance of I Dreamed A Dream from Les Miserables.
While Susan made it to the finals, she lost out on the winning place to dance group Diversity.
This weekend will see the first ever Britain's Got Talent winner Paul Potts return to the stage to perform.
He'll be competing against the Ukraine's Kseniya Simonova's sand artistry while Boogie Storm's Star Wars-style dancers also return.
Finally it will be up to American father-and-daughter duo Bello and Annaliese Nock's daredevil circus act to wow the crowd.
Two acts will go through to the final rounds of the competition to compete to be the ultimate winner.
Britain's Got Talent airs Saturday on ITV at 8pm.

SLO vs NED Dream11 Team Prediction International Friendly – Fantasy Team News
Slovakia vs Netherlands
International Friendly
SLO vs NED Dream11 MATCH PREVIEW:
This match pits two sides against each other who failed to qualify for the World Cup, so both the teams will be aiming to start afresh and build some momentum for the UEFA Nations League and ultimately qualify for the Euro 2020. But by the time Euro kicks-off, Netherlands will have gone six years without appearing in any major tournament, a big disappointment to say the least for a nation of rich football pedigree.
The latest disappointment for the Oranges came in the FIFA World Cup qualification as they finished 3rd in the group behind France and Sweden. Ronald Koeman was appointed as the manager to take the country back amongst the very best but the former Southampton and Everton manager has a very tough job at his disposal considering the talent pool isn't great at the moment.
Slovakia, on the other hand, did punch above their weight in the qualifying campaign, finishing 2nd in the group behind England and above Scotland. But they could be considered as the most unlucky team as they were the worst 2nd placed team in the campaign, this were not eligible for the playoffs.
Just like Dutch, Slovakia are also building for the future. They have some good players coming through their ranks with Milan Škriniar certainly the best of the lot. The home team has also won their last five home internationals, keeping clean sheets in all of those matches which they will certainly take confidence from.
When: June 1, 12:15 AM, IST
Where: City Arena Trnava
Capacity: 19,200
Recent wins (Last six matches)
Slovakia – L W L W W W
Netherlands – W W W W L W
SLO vs NED Dream11 TEAM NEWS: Injury and Suspension
Slovakia vs Netherlands:
Veteran defender Martin Škrtel isn't in this squad but it's still a relatively experienced side. Rotherham keeper Marek Rodák is the only uncapped player.
Defender Martin Skrtel and Dusan Svento aren't included in the squad for these games Marek Rodak may get his national debut in this game
The Dutch squad is very similar to the one that took on England and Portugal in March. Virgil van Dijk and Georginio Wijnaldum are in the squad and will be looking to put Champions League Final disappointment behind them. 18-year-old Ajax defender Matthijs de Ligt may get another chance to impress.
Goalkeeper Michel Vorm is injured so he has been left out of the squad. Defenders Jefffrey Bruma and Bruno martins Indi have been left out from this game alongside Midfielder Davy Klaassen and star forwards Robin van Persie and Arjen Robben have not been called for these friendly games
SLO vs NED Dream11 Playing 11 – (Probable)
Slovakia – Dubravka (GK), Hubocan, Pekarik, Skriniar, Gyomber, Sabo, Gregus, Hamsik, Kucka, Duda, Nemec
Netherlands – Zoet/Cillessen (GK), Hateboer/Ake, Van Aanholt, De Ligt, De Vrij/Janmaat, Blind/Van De Beek, Vormer/Vilhena, Strootman, Propper, Memphis, Babel
Head 2 Head- 2 Meetings in official matches
Slovakia – 00
Netherlands – 02
Draw – 00
Key Players:
Slovakia – Duda, Nemec
Netherlands – Memphis, Babel
Take a look at some statistics:
SLO vs NED Dream11 FANTASY TEAM:
Just how good Slovakia have performed in home games could be seen from the fact that they are unbeaten in home friendly matches since 2011, while their well-organized defense could prove a tough outing for the Netherlands in this match.
We are backing Slovakia not to lose this game.

One of the member benefits most commented on as I have visited member sites has been the Members' Alert. This weekly news bulletin is sent out every Friday to hundreds of employees at member companies around the world. Opinions on it have been uniformly glowing; concise, useful, and "immensely relevant" have been amongst the terms used by recipients to describe it.
An item that caught my eye in a recent edition referred to a fire at a biodiesel unit in Visakhapatnam in Andra Pradesh, India. The fire itself was spectacular, with 12 tanks of fuel and raw material igniting. Luckily no lives were lost. However, what startled me was the presenter's assertion, on a linked news bulletin that this was the 30th such incident in the past four years. While there was no context given (What was the scale of each incident? Was the area considered the state, or the country as a whole?), and we have no guarantee that the media reporting was accurate, the implications for the hydrocarbon storage industry in India are shocking.
I am not one of those who confidently assert that an incident such as Buncefield can never happen again in Europe. I have been told many times by member companies that complacency is a dangerous state of mind, and there is always work that can be done to improve. But the scale of the issues here are surely different. What should be an incredibly rare event has become almost commonplace.
EEMUA exists to help ensure good practice is spread through its membership across industries and international borders. Our guidance pulls together pragmatic, practical safe working methodologies, and is referred to by regulators across the globe as an exemplar of what looks like.

Link Product in Orderhive means that you're linking two or more products together to maintain similar inventory levels.
To centralize your inventory in Orderhive, you need to make sure SKUs for products are similar across all channels. However, some platforms don't have product SKU as a required field. In that case, you can link products after they are synced from your channels to Orderhive.
Also, SKUs might be different across your selling channels due to reasons like a manual error or uploading a different SKU for identification.
On platforms like eBay where multiple listings have similar SKUs, you can link such products here in Orderhive to maintain a common inventory for all of them.
Note: Linking products only centralizes your inventory and Orderhive will ensure the linked products have same stock levels whenever a new order comes in or you manually change the stock. Other product details are not linked or considered as same.
Follow the below steps to link products:
- Go to the Products tab.
- First, click on the product you want to keep as your base product from the Products Page.
- If you want to link multiple products, select all the products you want to link.
- Now, click on the Link button.
- Search the product you want to Link.
- Select that product from the drop-down. Click on Next.
Note: You can select one or more products by searching it with the help of SKU, Product name or Barcode. You can also scan the product's barcode to search for it.
- Now, click on Next.
- It shows the Available and On-Hand quantities in all the associated warehouses for the products you have selected to Link. You can put the new On-Hand in the required warehouse, which would be updated for both the products for the respective warehouses.
- You can see the total Available and On-Hand which is the addition of the quantities in all the warehouses.
- After updating the new On-Hand, click on Update & Link.
- Refresh the Products Page once. You'll see that the selected products are grouped together as Linked and show a similar quantity.
The purpose of linking products is to keep stock levels same across multiple channels. So, once you link products in Orderhive:
- Available Stock of the linked product will now be the same as of the base product and will get updated to your channels.
- Whenever a new order comes in or you update stock of either product, Orderhive will automatically sync inventory and keep the stock levels same.
Important Notes:
- Once the SKU of a linked product gets changed, the same won't get updated to your channel. Only the product that you have changed the SKU for, would reflect the updated SKU on the channel.
- You can link products synced from the same channel when they have same or different SKU.
- Once the products are linked, they will be visible under the Linked Products category.

Car description
1937 Cord 812 Phaeton
In 1936/1937 Mr. E. L. Cord was taking his second shot at putting a car into production with front wheel drive using his name. This attempt lasted for only two years; its introduction year of 1936 and ended in 1937. Yet the Cords are considered not only by collectors to be one of the greatest masterpieces designs of pre-war cars. Many museums of art that have actually displayed the 1936-1937 Cord in their museum as sculptures alongside of art work produced by famous artists.
The Cord was so advanced for its day that today collectors treasure them not only for their beautiful sculpture but for the joy of actually driving one. The engine is a flat head V8 with plenty of power connected directly to the front wheel drive and a four speed transmission.
The 1937 Cord in this ad is a Phaeton model that means that it is a convertible model with a rear seat. Take a look at the wonderful platoon fenders and the famous hood known as the 'Coffin Nose'; the headlights are flush with the fenders and can be raised up out of the fenders at night, are all part of the iconic design. The dashboard is engine turned like you would find in a pre-war airplane and the gauges also resemble airplane gauges.
The car in this ad is the 1937 Cord Phaeton and you should note that the convertible top when down is hidden under a metal panel when it is down is very similar to the first series Corvettes when the top is down you have a solid panel that would cover the top up for a sleek look.
The Cord convertible has a beautiful split cast windshield, comfortable seating for four and this Cord has plenty of power to travel on the highway at cruising speeds of 70 mph all day long. This Cord was restored years ago but is still in beautiful condition. The car has always been garaged for the 22 years since purchase. The red leather interior is in good shape. The Lycoming V8 125 HP engine starts up and runs perfectly. However there is an electrical problem with the electronic gear shifting mechanism.
The following are the facts on this car.
· Only 3,531 miles since the mid 1990s restoration. Owned since about 1997.
· The Cigarette Cream paint, looks good but up close it does show some flaws.
· Red leather interior looks really very nice.
· Lycoming V8 125 hp engine with Semi-Automatic four-speed transmission. Needs repair to electronics in order to shift through the gears.
· Transmission is good but please note - the pencil switch on the steering column needs repair or replacement, however, gears can be selected manually in order to move the car around and show that the transmitter itself is working.
· The car was very dependable until the recent pencil switch issue.
· The radial tires are about ten years old but very little wear.
· Clear title.
· Headlights, front turn signal, fog lights, taillights and radio are working. The rear turn signals and brake lights are not currently working (guessing that it most likely the bulbs). Clock was rebuilt but not currently working.
· The car is equipped with Richardson U Joints (cost about $6,000.00).
· External pipes that normally came with Super Charger, however this car is not Super Charged.
· Heavy duty rear hubs have been installed.
· Runs very well.
· The Cord is equipped with a radio that works.
Due to the transmission glitch the reserve is relatively low to leave plenty of room for the money that will need to be allotted for the repair.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful Cord Phaeton (convertible) in wonderful condition and will make a wonderful tour vehicle once the electronic wiring problem is corrected.
Please note that we definitely prefer phone calls 847-774-4857.
Thank you very much for your interest.

Although we have seen a slowdown in the market, it is more geared towards the luxury homes. It is possible that with the new 15% tax, foreign investors are now more interested lower priced homes such as condos and townhouses. According to Juwai, interest in homes under $1,000,000 have increased. Since it has still only been a little while since the 15% tax was introduced, we will still have to wait and see what the market will turn into.

The other night, I caught an episode of "Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives" on the Food Network that very much intrigued me. Guy Fieri, the host, pays a visit to Joe Tess Place in Omaha, Nebraska. This joint started out as a local tavern back in the 1930s, but gained serious notoriety for their fish sandwiches that were made from carp.
To this day, most of Joe Tess's customers flood in for their "famous fish" platter (that's how it reads on their menu), which is served on a slice of rye bread with coleslaw and fries. You can order fish ribs or tails, and the live carp are pulled from a tank somewhere in the back. I've been trying to find a show clip, but it seems one doesn't exist.
Perhaps I'm not well schooled in popular food fish from around the country, but this was the first time I ever heard of a restaurant serving carp, let alone having the carp be the main attraction. The folks interviewed during the show were totally digging it. Many were regulars. But when Guy Fieri tasted a piece in the kitchen, his usual over-the-top reaction was nowhere to be found. "That's a good piece of fish" was basically all he said. So what say you? Have you eaten deep-fried carp? Would you? Perhaps I'm missing out on something here.

Feeling: THE KHUMBU LIFE
NAMCHE DAY 1: Fitting being a Sunday, as we took a day of rest.
I arose at 3am and awoke Craig by playing him a video from the previous day; he was lovely enough to converse with me for a few moments, before telling me to go the fuck back to sleep.
So I tuned in my Beats (thanks Mummy Dee Dub) until 5, when I managed to snuggle down for an extra 40.
It was a morning of pure taking our time. Prosing postcards over masala chai, a little roam around the labyrinth lanes, passing over our bag of washing (seriously that thing reeked; it aromed like something had died in there) to be cleaned and settling in at the bakery-cafe for five hours where I wrote and wrote and Craig journaled and ate and we played cards a'plenty.
Early to bed at 8.30 with a 9pm out-light time.
One thing I really rate: the teahouse-running women all rock around in pyjama pants. And the polar fleece, patterned kind. And anyone who knows me knows I'm very much one for my pjs. Could totally see myself setting up shop here and donning the look too.
One dampener: Phaplu has left us. I hope to think she has found a pack of pups and they are frolicking in the forest, her a happy hound. Not being allowed inside the teahouse, I told her to stay in a little nestle spot I set up for her; when I came down with dinner, she was gone. Very much did break my heart, but we did have her for 40km and gave her lots of love. (Little bitch could've vacated before we got her fried rice). (Kidding: I love and miss her dearly).
NAMCHE DAY 2: It was decided an overnight excursion to Tengboche was the order of the day, up to 3800m.
Four to five hours of a deep descent and intense incline ahead, we awoke at 7am (had an actual sleep in) and prepared our packs. As the post office had been closed the previous day, we hung about playing cards and drinking tea until it opened at 10. (I have to say, quite different to the workings of the Cambridge Kiwibank). Then we were on our way (when we found the right route).
We smashed it in less than three hours; all set for a serious climb, I thought I had an hour more left when Craig popped back around and said we were there. How fab!
An afternoon of writing, cards, Craig eating dhal bhat for dinner (again) and me on the potatoes.
The simple life.
"NAMCHE" DAY 3: Being in Tengboche at 3800m, we saw it silly to not take it up to 4000m. So we mapped our way to Somare at 4040.
Told it was a three-hour each way there then a four-to-five back to Namche, we were chuffed to do the whole thing in 6 hours 40, back in our cafe bakery by 2.30.
No sign of Phaplu, but I did temporarily take a new lad called Laddy; he followed our feet from the deep down crevice up to Tengboche, then caught on as we came back through and is now here with us in Namche.
The rest of the day is dedicated to doing whatever we please. When we got back I saw my Tibetan Handicrafts Shop friend was back – the other two times I've been here I've always bought a headband from her, and I was so sad to see her store all shut up when we arrived. But – praise be! – she is here for only two days, so headband heckling it shall be (not actually – she likes me so usually gives me a good price).
Tomorrow is our final day up here, before we blitz down to Lukla on the 2nd. It's fully a day devoted to Seedless Green Grapes, with maybe a flit up to the school to see some smaller souls.
Staying tonight and tomorrow Khumbu Lodge – the very place where former US president Jimmy Carter stayed with his wife back in 1985, would you believe. (Something tells me they didn't stay in our dingy room). They have a library corner, so I'm going to immerse myself in books and eat a potato rosti for dinner. (Addition: I did just that, and soon on told Craig I was tired and ready for bed. It was 7.37pm).
Just a fun fact on Namche (can never have enough of those!): traditionally the cliffside community was a trading post among the mountain people. Those from higher would meet those from lower, to trade yak cheese and butter for agricultural items. But when Sir Edmund Hilary (yeah Sir Ed!) and Tenzing Norgay summited Everest in 1953, the dynamics of Namche changed to a bazaar as touristing trekkers flocked in to follow in the peaking pair's footsteps.
It's crazy; Craig and I haven't had more than 40 seconds apart in a week and a half, but we haven't at all gotten sick or annoyed at each other (well, so he agrees – I know I can be bloody too much at times). It's so refreshing to just be so able around a person, who gets you and you get them and it's all just good.
I'm so gross: my feet look like a dead person's and I smell of stale sweat. My hair has gone beyond Macy Gray and taken on the tone of Goldilocks – and I'm talking kitchen scoura, not three bears. I probably look the most unattractive I ever have in my life (apart from the other two times doing this), but I feel the most alive and free.
Going to buy some headbands now. Like scrunchies, keyrings, hair extensions and travelling trinkets, you can never have enough.

Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,
Life! It never ceases to amaze me at the things that can happen as I make my way through each day! Many times I point to the grandkids and say they are why a day is so crazy. Other times it is just the things that take place in a normal week.
This past week was one of those weeks for sure. From being a part of a Memorial Day service to a surgery in Amarillo to getting ready for a wedding to preparing for sermons, life was crazy. It seemed like the entire week was totally crazy.
Then Vicki said that she had promised Harper that she would ride the Ferris wheel with her on Saturday evening. She asked if I was going and I said I would go. When we got there Harper and Sutton had already started their first ride. It was a little dragon ride that just went up and down and around. They loved it!
Of course they went to the Ferris wheel and then moved on. It was totally crazy. Sutton loved the little tractors, cars and motorcycles, but when he learned that he could honk a horn on the cars he was over the top!
We were going from one thing to another. But then we went by the Mirror Maze and Sutton just had to go through it. I watched him as he began running into the glass and became confused. The worker told me I could go get him. So I went in after him.
It didn't take me long to run into several mirror walls myself, but I finally made it to him and we started on through. There were some struggles for Papa because I was sure I knew what I was doing and then I would run into another wall.
We finally came to some steps. We headed up them and got to the upper level. I was so glad to be where I could see out. Then it hit me. The only way down was on a curvy slide! Sutton just jumped on and went down. I knew he would take off so down I went.
It wasn't a half bad ride down. I just sat down and let gravity take over. It went quickly and as I stood up I looked around to see if anyone had seen me. Of course they did. Hopefully they won't have to live with that picture in their minds very long!
As I got to thinking about that Mirror Maze it made me stop and think. That is the way life can be. We walk along a path that seems to be good then we hit a wall that won't let us go further. We look for the path that will allow us to move ahead. At times we may well take a few steps and things go well, then we find that we have to turn back and go another direction.
Sutton decided he wanted to go again so he ran right back in. But after running into the mirrored walls and hitting his head 4 or 5 times, he came out the entrance and that was over. That made me remember what Proverbs 16:9 says – "The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps."
Sutton had it in his mind to go again, but, praise the Lord, God directed his steps out. In truth that is what happens many times in our lives. We get it in our mind what direction we want to go, but as we seek God, He will direct out steps.
Sure we may have to hit out heads, stub our toe or even fall; but God directs us on the path He desires us to be on. Just know as you go through the coming days that when you 'hit that wall' it may well be God directing your steps – so follow Him.
JESUS, JESUS, JESUS, there IS something about that name!!
Christ only, always,
Bro. Paul

Content provided by Sierra Morris-Fuchs, CLS Investment Research Analyst
As someone who studies the market on a daily basis, to find securities poised to produce high returns over time, it is important not only to educate on the present, but also the past. Who better to look to for investment lessons than the investment greats?
Benjamin Graham
"You are neither right nor wrong because the crowd disagrees with you. You are right because your data and reasoning are right."
Commonly thought of as the 'father of value investing,' Benjamin Graham became well known in the 1920s for his idea that a business has an intrinsic value that can be calculated to determine its true worth – independent of its stocks price. He is also the author of one the most respected value investing books of all time, The Intelligent Investor.
What has Benjamin Graham taught us?
Benjamin Graham taught us a systematic way of screening companies, based on a handful of factors, to find those stocks with under-valued characteristics. This fundamental analysis includes looking for firms with little leverage, strong balance sheets, high cash flow, and above-average profit margins. He also taught us to ignore the fickle fluctuations of Mr. Market on a day-to-day basis, and instead to approach investing in a businesslike manner.
Sir John Templeton
"Bull markets are born on pessimism, grow on skepticism, mature on optimism and die on euphoria."
John Templeton became a "sir" when he was knighted in 1987 by Queen Elizabeth II for his philanthropy. But he first became famous during the Great Depression of the 1930s, for purchasing 100 shares of each stock trading under $1 a share on the NYSE (104 companies) and ultimately realizing a vast profit when domestic industry picked up as a result of World War II. Later, he ran some of the world's biggest and most successful investment mutual funds, one being the Templeton Growth Fund.
What has Sir John Templeton taught us?
Templeton taught us to mix the searching-for-bargains approach of value investing with expanding research beyond one's home country. At a time when most investors would never consider foreign investments, he was an advocate of investing globally as it opened up many more opportunities to find a good deal.
David Dreman
"The success of contrarian strategies requires you at times to go against gut reactions, the prevailing beliefs in the marketplace, and the experts you respect."
David Dreman is best known as a contrarian value and behavioral finance investor. Dreman has said he did not embrace contrarian value investing from the start, rather it was a tough lesson learned. In 1969, while he was still working at the junior level, he invested his money in a handful of stocks the majority said were 'hot,' but later came to lose 75% of his net worth on these. Ouch.
What has David Dreman taught us?
Dreman has taught us that going against the grain can be profitable. His research shows the market has a way of overvaluing good companies and undervaluing those with less-than-stellar outlooks. Those companies in the lowest quintile of valuations have been beaten up to the point that positive surprises have a larger impact, total return on average has historically been higher, and they have outperformed their expensive peers even in past bear market situations.
Warren Buffett
"Be fearful when others are greedy and greedy only when others are fearful."
Most people are pretty familiar with the 'Oracle of Omaha,' and his investment and personal philosophies. No list of value investors would be complete without Warren Buffett. Hailing from our humble city, Buffet has gone on to become one of the world's wealthiest and most influential individuals through his practice of value investing, all while maintaining an unpretentious lifestyle.
What has Warren Buffett taught us?
Buffett, who was a scholar of Benjamin Graham, expanded on his work. He taught us that in addition to analyzing the numbers of a business, it is important to fully analyze and trust the current management and recognize a sustainable competitive advantage, which he coined a 'moat.' In addition, Buffet instructed all investors to make sure they understand their investments and avoid those with confusing characteristics.
Charlie Munger
"A great business at a fair price is superior to a fair business at a great price."
Charlie Munger is often known as Warren Buffett's right-hand-man, although he deserves his name on this list as much as any other. Munger has played a substantial role in influencing the investment style of Buffett's company, Berkshire Hathaway. In his personal life, Munger is well-known as a generous philanthropist.
What has Charlie Munger taught us?
Charlie Munger taught us that ethics are essential, and a business without high ethical standards will, at some point, fail. A follower of a similar investment philosophy to Buffett and Benjamin Graham, Munger further refined the value investing model and showed us that this model not only includes companies that are dirt cheap, but, as his quote suggests, excellent companies priced at a moderate discount.

I found this 742 last May along an abandoned railway.
There's a few hairline cracks in it, a small bruise/chip in the dome (not shown) and the typical chipping along the base.
It's still a decent threadless insulator and it has some milky swirls in the dome which is nice.

NBC announced Tuesday the new co-anchor of the "Today" show after disgraced, longtime-host Matt Lauer was fired over sexual misconduct violations.
Hoda Kotb will be the permanent replacement for Lauer after he was let go at the end of November 2017. She will host alongside current co-host Savannah Guthrie.
"It's 2018 and we are kicking off the year right because Hoda is officially the co-anchor of 'Today,'" Guthrie said on Tuesday, Jan 2. "This has to be the most popular decision NBC News have ever made and I'm so thrilled."
.@SavannahGuthrie announces @HodaKotb will be co-anchor of TODAY. #SavannahHodaTODAY pic.twitter.com/B64n2FmCwq
— TODAY (@TODAYshow) January 2, 2018
"There's no one I'd rather be sitting next to in 2018 than you," Kotb told Guthrie.
Kotb had already been behind the anchor desk of the "Today" show as a temporary replacement, NBC News reported.
"I am pinching myself," Kotb said. "I think we should send some medics to Alexandria, Virginia, where my mom has likely fainted after hearing the open of that show."
Whaaaaaatttttttt! #SavannahHodaTODAY pic.twitter.com/qX53MUHxcj
— Hoda Kotb (@hodakotb) January 2, 2018
NBC News Chairman Andrew Lack said in an email that Kotb has "seamlessly stepped" into the position, and with Guthrie, "quickly hit the ground running."
Kotb has been co-hosting the fourth hour of the show with Kathie Lee Gifford since 2008. Lack also said that she would continue in that role as well, according to NBC News.
Lauer was recently spotted on Saturday, Dec. 23, with his now estranged wife and former model Annette Roque with their 14-year-old daughter, Romy.
Roque reportedly did not have a wedding ring on as the trio were seen together on a horse farm they own in Sag Habor New York.
Other journalists flocked to Twitter to congratulate Kotb in her new role.
A hearty #congratulations to @hodakotb officially our new @TODAYshow #cohost with @SavannahGuthrie #SavannahHodaTODAY pic.twitter.com/SNNZ2y8Zko
— Al Roker (@alroker) January 2, 2018
Hooray @hodakotb named coanchor of @TODAYshow with @SavannahGuthrie #SavannahHodaTODAY !
— Andrea Mitchell (@mitchellreports) January 2, 2018
Congratulations @hodakotb Just officially named new co-host of @TODAYshow along side @SavannahGuthrie What a great team to wake up to!
— Lester Holt (@LesterHoltNBC) January 2, 2018
So happy for my dear friend @hodakotb !! Congratulations on being named the new Co Anchor of @TODAYshow !! Nobody does it better!!
— Kathie Lee Gifford (@KathieLGifford) January 2, 2018
Earlier, Roque's father told reporters his daughter had ditched her wedding ring and was planning to divorce the disgraced former NBC anchor, who was fired from the network for sexual misconduct in the workplace.
"She is not going to stay with him and work it out. They are not together trying to work it out," Henri Roque, 76, told the Daily Mail. "I have no words for her husband. What he has done is bad. Everybody feels betrayed."
