ARC Reviewers Wanted
Duration: Until October 15th
I'm looking for ARC readers for the month of September to read book 3 and give an honest review. Here is a synopsis:
Lisa Xu was just on the cusp of becoming a major style influencer when the supernatural apocalypse came and changed her life forever. Becoming a fairy and learning she's a part of a special Six meant to save the world is so not what she signed up for. After losing yet another loved one to the chaos of the new world, Lisa takes an offer from an old friend to finally visit the Fae Realm as an escape. However, there is more to this land than the marbled streets and sprinkled treats and Lisa must fight off a dark presence on her trail and make a decision that could devastate her life and those she left behind in the Human Realm. Top that off with a handsome Elven King out to woo her for possibly sinister motives and Lisa's dream vacation has become more of a nightmare. This hairdresser from Jersey is so not cut out for this new world but she's going to have to step up if she plans to survive.
Contact me for more information.

Current Research and Scholarly Interests
As part of my graduate work I developed ImmunoGlobe, a map of the immune intercellular interactome that describes how immune cells and immune system components interact to drive immune responses. By structuring our knowledge of immune interactions into a directional graph, ImmunoGlobe makes it easy to explore the relationships between components of the immune system. An interactive version of the network is available online at immunoglobe.org.

ImmunoGlobe: enabling systems immunology with a manually curated intercellular immune interaction network.
BMC bioinformatics
2020; 21 (1): 346
BACKGROUND: While technological advances have made it possible to profile the immune system at high resolution, translating high-throughput data into knowledge of immune mechanisms has been challenged by the complexity of the interactions underlying immune processes. Tools to explore the immune network are critical for better understanding the multi-layered processes that underlie immune function and dysfunction, but require a standardized network map of immune interactions. To facilitate this we have developed ImmunoGlobe, a manually curated intercellular immune interaction network extracted from Janeway's Immunobiology textbook.RESULTS: ImmunoGlobe is the first graphical representation of the immune interactome, and is comprised of 253 immune system components and 1112 unique immune interactions with detailed functional and characteristic annotations. Analysis of this network shows that it recapitulates known features of the human immune system and can be used uncover novel multi-step immune pathways, examine species-specific differences in immune processes, and predict the response of immune cells to stimuli. ImmunoGlobe is publicly available through a user-friendly interface at www.immunoglobe.org and can be downloaded as a computable graph and network table.CONCLUSION: While the fields of proteomics and genomics have long benefited from network analysis tools, no such tool yet exists for immunology. ImmunoGlobe provides a ground truth immune interaction network upon which such tools can be built. These tools will allow us to predict the outcome of complex immune interactions, providing mechanistic insight that allows us to precisely modulate immune responses in health and disease.

The Predictive Value of Inflammation-Related Peripheral Blood Measurements in Cancer Staging and Prognosis
2018; 8: 78
In this review, we discuss the interaction between cancer and markers of inflammation (such as levels of inflammatory cells and proteins) in the circulation, and the potential benefits of routinely monitoring these markers in peripheral blood measurement assays. Next, we discuss the prognostic value and limitations of using inflammatory markers such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratios and C-reactive protein measurements. Furthermore, the review discusses the benefits of combining multiple types of measurements and longitudinal tracking to improve staging and prognosis prediction of patients with cancer, and the ability of novel in silico frameworks to leverage this high-dimensional data.

Accelerated, but not conventional, radiotherapy of murine B-cell lymphoma induces potent T cell-mediated remissions.
Blood advances
2018; 2 (19): 2568–80
Conventional local tumor irradiation (LTI), delivered in small daily doses over several weeks, is used clinically as a palliative, rather than curative, treatment for chemotherapy-resistant diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) for patients who are ineligible for hematopoietic cell transplantation. Our goal was to test the hypothesis that accelerated, but not conventional, LTI would be more curative by inducing T cell-mediated durable remissions. We irradiated subcutaneous A20 and BL3750 lymphoma tumors in mice with a clinically relevant total radiation dose of 30 Gy LTI, delivered in 10 doses of 3 Gy over 4 days (accelerated irradiation) or as 10 doses of 3 Gy over 12 days (conventional irradiation). Compared with conventional LTI, accelerated LTI resulted in more complete and durable tumor remissions. The majority of these mice were resistant to rechallenge with lymphoma cells, demonstrating the induction of memory antitumor immunity. The increased efficacy of accelerated LTI correlated with higher levels of tumor cell necrosis vs apoptosis and expression of "immunogenic cell death" markers, including calreticulin, heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70), and Hsp90. Accelerated LTI-induced remissions were not seen in immunodeficient Rag-2-/- mice, CD8+ T-cell-depleted mice, or Batf-3-/- mice lacking CD8α+ and CD103+ dendritic cells. Accelerated, but not conventional, LTI in immunocompetent hosts induced marked increases in tumor-infiltrating CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and MHCII+CD103+CD11c+ dendritic cells and corresponding reductions in exhausted PD-1+Eomes+CD8+ T cells and CD4+CD25+FOXP3+ regulatory T cells. These findings raise the possibility that accelerated LTI can provide effective immune control of human DLBCL.

A Robust Protocol for Protein Extraction and Digestion.
Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.)
2017; 1550: 1-10
Proteins play a key role in all aspects of cellular homeostasis. Proteomics, the large-scale study of proteins, provides in-depth data on protein properties, including abundances and post-translational modification states, and as such provides a rich avenue for the investigation of biological and disease processes. While proteomic tools such as mass spectrometry have enabled exquisitely sensitive sample analysis, sample preparation remains a critical unstandardized variable that can have a significant impact on downstream data readouts. Consistency in sample preparation and handling is therefore paramount in the collection and analysis of proteomic data.Here we describe methods for performing protein extraction from cell culture or tissues, digesting the isolated protein into peptides via in-solution enzymatic digest, and peptide cleanup with final preparations for analysis via liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. These protocols have been optimized and standardized for maximum consistency and maintenance of sample integrity.

Longitudinal Monitoring of Antibody Responses against Tumor Cells Using Magneto-nanosensors with a Nanoliter of Blood.
Nano letters
2017; 17 (11): 6644–52
Each immunoglobulin isotype has unique immune effector functions. The contribution of these functions in the elimination of pathogens and tumors can be determined by monitoring quantitative temporal changes in isotype levels. Here, we developed a novel technique using magneto-nanosensors based on the effect of giant magnetoresistance (GMR) for longitudinal monitoring of total and antigen-specific isotype levels with high precision, using as little as 1 nL of serum. Combining in vitro serologic measurements with in vivo imaging techniques, we investigated the role of the antibody response in the regression of firefly luciferase (FL)-labeled lymphoma cells in spleen, kidney, and lymph nodes in a syngeneic Burkitt's lymphoma mouse model. Regression status was determined by whole body bioluminescent imaging (BLI). The magneto-nanosensors revealed that anti-FL IgG2a and total IgG2a were elevated and sustained in regression mice compared to non-regression mice (p < 0.05). This platform shows promise for monitoring immunotherapy, vaccination, and autoimmunity.

High-dimensional analysis of the aging immune system: Verification of age-associated differences in immune signaling responses in healthy donors
2014; 12
Single-cell network profiling (SCNP) is a multiparametric flow cytometry-based approach that simultaneously measures evoked signaling in multiple cell subsets. Previously, using the SCNP approach, age-associated immune signaling responses were identified in a cohort of 60 healthy donors.In the current study, a high-dimensional analysis of intracellular signaling was performed by measuring 24 signaling nodes in 7 distinct immune cell subsets within PBMCs in an independent cohort of 174 healthy donors [144 elderly (>65 yrs); 30 young (25-40 yrs)].Associations between age and 9 immune signaling responses identified in the previously published 60 donor cohort were confirmed in the current study. Furthermore, within the current study cohort, 48 additional immune signaling responses differed significantly between young and elderly donors. These associations spanned all profiled modulators and immune cell subsets.These results demonstrate that SCNP, a systems-based approach, can capture the complexity of the cellular mechanisms underlying immunological aging. Further, the confirmation of age associations in an independent donor cohort supports the use of SCNP as a tool for identifying reproducible predictive biomarkers in areas such as vaccine response and response to cancer immunotherapies.

Genomic relationship between SINE retrotransposons, Pol III- Pol II transcription, and chromatin organization: the journey from junk to jewel
2011; 89 (5): 495-504
A typical eukaryotic genome harbors a rich variety of repetitive elements. The most abundant are retrotransposons, mobile retroelements that utilize reverse transcriptase and an RNA intermediate to relocate to a new location within the cellular genomes. A vast majority of the repetitive mammalian genome content has originated from the retrotransposition of SINE (100-300 bp short interspersed nuclear elements that are derived from the structural 7SL RNA or tRNA), LINE (7kb long interspersed nuclear element), and LTR (2-3 kb long terminal repeats) transposable element superfamilies. Broadly labeled as "evolutionary junkyard" or "fossils", this enigmatic "dark matter" of the genome possesses many yet to be discovered properties.

Inhibition of activated pericentromeric SINE/Alu repeat transcription in senescent human adult stem cells reinstates self-renewal
2011; 10 (17): 3016-3030
Cellular aging is linked to deficiencies in efficient repair of DNA double strand breaks and authentic genome maintenance at the chromatin level. Aging poses a significant threat to adult stem cell function by triggering persistent DNA damage and ultimately cellular senescence. Senescence is often considered to be an irreversible process. Moreover, critical genomic regions engaged in persistent DNA damage accumulation are unknown. Here we report that 65% of naturally occurring repairable DNA damage in self-renewing adult stem cells occurs within transposable elements. Upregulation of Alu retrotransposon transcription upon ex vivo aging causes nuclear cytotoxicity associated with the formation of persistent DNA damage foci and loss of efficient DNA repair in pericentric chromatin. This occurs due to a failure to recruit of condensin I and cohesin complexes. Our results demonstrate that the cytotoxicity of induced Alu repeats is functionally relevant for the human adult stem cell aging. Stable suppression of Alu transcription can reverse the senescent phenotype, reinstating the cells' self-renewing properties and increasing their plasticity by altering so-called "master" pluripotency regulators.

To be updated with the latest in the apiculture industry to can check out our apiculture latest news. On the other hand in case you are new to beekeeping and would like to begin professional beekeeping today download a copy of our beekeeping for beginners ebook.
Beekeeping, like every other activity, has its dos and don'ts. Start beekeeping normally involves the gear that is needed and buying bees. However, some people who are starting this hobby generally make a few blunders. It is acceptable to make mistakes, which article can help new beekeepers prevent making exactly the same mistakes others have in the past.
Here are three blunders which every beekeeper should avoid:
1. Not understanding the best time to start avocation or a beekeeping company can prove to be a catastrophe. It often leads to some loss of your bees and money. Winter is the worst possible time to start, since most bees expire during the wintertime. This would force a beekeeper to buy a new mountain of bees, which would be more expensive money. Fall is another lousy time since you will find fewer flowers, so a smaller number of honey picked to begin beekeeping. The best time to start beekeeping is during summer, which can be the time of the year where there are lots of blooming blooms.
2. Purchasing used gear and old books. This can be a typical error made by many beginning beekeepers. Buying used gear and old beekeeping novels isn't a good thought, although it is clear that one would desire to cut costs as much as possible. First, used equipment can come with "inherited" issues. The extractor outlet might have a leak, or the uncapping knife might not be sharp enough to uncap all the wax in one go. This would surely impact the quality of one's honey, which isn't an ideal scenario particularly if a beekeeper is planning to start a honey-selling business. Second, old novels can supply outdated information on beekeeping. One might be stuck using the traditional method when there are better and faster methods to maintain beehives and production honey.
3. Refraining from buying protective gear. Think about this. He/she'll most likely come out as a pincushion with all the bee stingers stuck to their body, if one doesn't wear protective gear when handling the hives and collecting the honeycombs. Protective equipment is pricey, yes, but it will help beekeepers avoid having to pay medical bills.
These three errors are presented here to help they are avoided by future beekeepers. It truly is best to consult an expert beekeeper before getting started beekeeping. If purchasing a certain item seems overly pricey, consistently consider the end price (if they do not purchase this item now, will it cost them more later on?). In the end, it's up to the person to determine the best plan of action.

Mauritius is the richest country in Africa - Report
CAPE TOWN - A report by the New World Health and AfrAsia Bank has put Mauritius in focus and said that it is the richest country in Africa.
According to the report, Mauritius' wealth has been primarily due to having a strong economic growth, stable government and its ability to draw wealthy individuals to do business and live there.
These are other reasons that make Mauritius great:
- Strong economic growth;
- A thriving and growing financial services sector;
- Well-developed banking system and stock exchange;
- Strong FDI inflows;
- Secure ownership rights – the most critical component of successful wealth creation globally;
- Low taxes – company and personal income tax rates are only 15%, with no inheritance or capital gains tax;
- Residents are free to invest overseas with no exchange controls;
- Low level of government regulation in the local business sector ;
- Automatic permanent residency if one buys a US$500,000+ home in the country;
- Ease of doing business in the country;
- Low jobless rate and low inflation rate;
- Developed, free media;
- Safety – deemed the safest country in Africa;
- Good schools;
- Rising commercial and residential property prices; and
- Access to first class food and produce.
Total wealth held in Mauritius now amounts to US$43 billion (R567 billion), while per capita wealth (average wealth per person) stands at US$33,000 (R435 138.00)
Over the past 10 years, total wealth held in Mauritius has risen by 195% (in US$ terms), making it the fastest growing wealth market in Africa.
Additionally, this also makes it one of the top 3 fastest growing worldwide over the same period.
According to New World Wealth, Mauritius' policies are very similar to other thriving business destinations like Singapore and its government intervention and ownership rights stand in contrast to places like South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Societe Generale works each day throughout the year to promote the integration of persons with disabilities. The French Disabled Sports Federation (FFH - Fédération Française Handisport) endeavours to organise and support disabled sports with help from Societe Generale.
The support given, every two years, to the French Paralympic teams during the Paralympic Games gives this commitment an international echo. Locally, the Group provides further support by backing local events as well as clubs and committees.
Working alongside the French Federation for Disabled Sport
Societe Generale is proud to have been standing beside the French Federation for Disabled Sport since 2003 and of working throughout the years to deepen our relationship based on our shared values. Regardless of the nature of the project (long-standing partnerships at the national level or specific, short-term sponsorship of an initiative or help at a local event), this partnership is the best way Societe Generale can display its team spirit, a value that is part of the bank's core DNA, through our support for all Paralympic athletes in everyday life and at major events.
The Paralympic Games, major events to promote disabled sports
The Paralympic Games are a major event for promoting disabled sports. Every two years, Societe Generale partners with the French Paralympic team to support the athletes and add lustre to France's international image. The FFH (Fédération Française de Handisport - French Federation for Disabled Sport) organises several international events for all ages in France every year. Societe Generale is committed to helping organise these competitions. In addition, Societe Generale has also set the goal of raising the awareness of its audiences, the bank's clients and employees, by inviting them to attend these exhilarating international competitions. During the Paralympic Games in London in 2012, Societe Generale provided 150 of its customers with the opportunity to share in the enthusiasm surrounding the sporting event. For the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Societe Generale invited 8 bloggers to the event through a competition on its Facebook page ("Tous Handisport"), giving them the opportunity to get a real insiders' view and accompany the supporters of the French team.
Societe Generale ambassadors
Marie Bochet, paraolympic gold medalist in skiing
Competing in top-level sports requires tremendous personal commitment. To help her train under proper conditions while pursuing her studies, Societe Generale has been actively supporting Marie Bochet since 2010.
A multiple champion in para-alpine skiing who received eight gold medals (4 at Sochi and 4 at PyeongChang), Marie continues her quest for medals in 2019. Societe Generale is proud to support such a model athlete.
Perle Bouge, world champion in rowing
Supported by Societe Generale since 2014, Perle Bouge won gold in the world championship in 2018 in her category : skiff in rowing. After obtaining silver in 2012 and bronze in 2016, she is going for gold at the next Paralympics held in Tokyo. In addition to her athletic career, Perle Bouge works for the French Disabled Sports Federation.
Jonathan Hivernat, captain of the French quad rugby team
Jonathan Hivernat is sponsored by Societe Generale since 2017. He is the captain of the French quad rugby team who got 7th place at the Rio Paralympics in 2016 and 5th place at the World Championship in 2018. He also won the French Cup with his club the Stade Toulousain 7 times in a row.
Our rugby initiatives demonstrate the nature of our commitment to this sport: steadfast support of the French national rugby union team and amateur clubs, official partner of the World Cup and organiser of university tournaments, etc. Societe Generale has been present on all fronts for over 25 years.
In collaboration with the French Golf Federation, of which Societe Generale is an official sponsor, we support its members in their pursuit of the sport. On the international stage, we support the Evian Championship, which offers a central platform for the various support initiatives carried out by all of the Group's brands.

Lordship Lane
Lordship Lane
About this project
The main design objective was to redevelop the vacant site fronting Lordship Lane, to create residential accommodation suitable for up to 17 residents with mental health and drug rehabilitation needs. As well as appropriate amenity space too.
This was successfully achieved, as now stands a four storey building which comprises 11 x 1 bedroom and 3 x 2 bedroom supported housing units for people with mental health and drug rehabilitation needs. There is also an A3 unit (cafe) ancillary to the building at ground floor level, with 28 bicycle stands, 5 car parking spaces and an area for refuse and recycling to the rear.

In applying the EU economic provisions to the regulatory rules in sport, four different categories of "sporting exception" can be discerned in the jurisprudence of the Court. They include sporting rules that do not produce any economic effect, 'purely sporting' rules, inherent rules, and objectively justified rules. Based on the existing parameters of the EU sports law and policy, this article advances arguments in support of discarding the nuances in the Court's analytical approach to sporting exception. Ordinary EU law, coupled by the concept of specificity of sport that is now included in Article 165(1) TFEU, already contains the all-encompassing, uniform analytical structure apt to accommodate all categories of regulatory rules in sports. In addition, the proposed uniform framework can be often be utilised to justify the challenged sporting rules in both internal market law and competition law, thus avoiding duplication of analysis. This is enabled by the high degree of convergence in their application to the rules of private regulatory bodies.

Seven Reasons We're Thrilled Maggie's Coming Back to The Walking Dead
It's official: Maggie's back!
The Walking Dead executive producer Angela Kang revealed Maggie is coming back to TWD. For fans, this is like Carl finding a long-lost can of chocolate pudding.
Once Maggie returns, there will be many mysteries to unravel, grudges to settle and plenty of walkers to kill. But in the meantime, it got us thinking about all the reasons Maggie is great and just how much we've missed her. So without further ado, here's seven things we can't for when Maggie returns to TWD.
To Hear About Where She's Been…
When Georgie mysteriously shows up in Season 8, she's got food to spare and a book of schematics to help rebuild the world. What kind of community has all that in the apocalypse? We're about to find out, because Maggie's spent years there!
Exclusive: Read an Interview With Lauren Cohan on Rejoining the Show
…And To See What She Brought Back With Her
Remember all those schematics? Life at the end of the world is tough. The survivors have lost the Kingdom and are about to enter a new phase of their cold war with the Whisperers. Any help Maggie can bring back with her will be a huge boon to the communities.
To See If She's Going to Wreak Fiery Vengeance on the Whisperers
The Whisperers killed her friends and destroyed the communities Maggie worked to unite, all while Maggie was perhaps hundreds of miles away. In the past, that kind of behavior hasn't sat well with Maggie. Just ask Gregory and Arat and the Terminans and many others who have stood in her way. The Whisperers better watch out if she's still in the survivors' path when Maggie returns.
Watch What Happens to Maggie's Enemies:
Three Words: Maggie vs. Negan
Speaking of which, Maggie never formally got her revenge on a certain big bad for what he did to Glenn, deciding to leave Negan alive instead. As of this writing, Negan is healthy as can be. When Maggie returns, with Rick elsewhere, will she be as merciful? Perhaps we'll finally get the Maggie vs. Negan showdown that Glenn deserves.
To See How Big Hershel Is
When we last saw Maggie and Glenn's son Hershel, he was a baby. One time jump later, he's roughly the age of a first grader. Does he look like Glenn? Maggie? Is he a kick-ass fighter like his parents? We're likely to find out soon.
The Communities Might Need a Leader
Things have not gone well for the chiefs of Hilltop since Maggie took off. The Whisperers killed Jesus. They killed Tara. It's anyone's guess who's next in line, but we know of one person who's already proven they have the strength to marshal the communities to face massive crises, huge battles and overwhelming odds: Maggie Rhee.
Because We Just Missed Her
Maggie has been a huge part of the heart and soul of the group since the moment she arrived on the scene. Following her journey through tremendous ups and downs, feats of bravery and heroism and moments dark and light has been a real treat. We can't wait to see.
Get a sneak peek at Maggie's return to The Walking Dead.

Google aims at answering users queries directly and clearly – enter featured snippets! Featured snippets are quick answers that appear above organic search results. Ask Google – Who is the President of the United States? Or How Many Calories in a McDonald's Burger? – and the answer will appear in a special block of its own with a short description or some factual detail.
Websites and content creators must optimize their content to be featured – the incentive is huge! Being featured means more traffic and increased click through for your web page. A featured snippet has far more real estate and gains more exposure than any other result on that page, resulting in establishing credibility and trust. Relevant traffic coming through will improve conversion and engagement.
Read on – in this article, we talk about what featured snippets are, the different types of snippets, how they differ from rich snippets, and how exactly you can optimize your content for Google's featured snippets.
What are Featured Snippets?
A featured snippet is Google's answer to a query, displayed at position zero, above organic search results. As per Google, featured snippets "enhance and draw user attention on the results page". Featured snippets are easy-to-read, authoritative answers that directly answer a user's search query.
This featured snippets is a block at the top of the search results page, containing a summary of the answer and a link to the web page it is extracted from. Featured snippets aim to answer the user's query right away and typically answer who, what, when, why, how to type questions.
What are the Different Types of Featured Snippets?
There are four different types of featured snippets:
1) Paragraph Snippets – The most common type of snippet, paragraph snippets are text answers within the featured snippet block. They may also feature an image alongside. They answer "How To / Who is/ What is" type search queries.
2) List Snippets – List snippets are answers in a step-by-step form, numbered list, or a bulleted list. They answer queries on recipes, DIY tasks and "How Do I/ Best of" type queries.
3) Table Snippets – For structured data, Google can reformat content into tables for better readability. These type of table snippets answer questions on pricing, rates, and data.
4) Video Snippets – Google can also construct answers from Youtube and video descriptions. Any query that meets the criteria for being answered through a video can feature this snippet.
Some More Examples of Featured Snippets:
We've talked about the different kinds of featured snippets above – Google chooses the best way to answer a user's query. Here are some more examples to help you understand further:
1) Asking Questions as a user – How to Change a Tyre? Google provides step-by-step clear answer.
2) DIY Questions answered – How Can I paint My Own Room? Google answers the question with some video guidance from Youtube.
3) Questions with straightforward answers – who/what/when type questions with the answer and a description in paragraph form.
Not all queries will have answers in the forms of featured snippets. However, Google is constantly adding more and more featured snippets – identifying user intent and answering human-type queries. With voice search becoming popular, featured snippets are becoming more important.
Featured Snippets Vs Rich Snippets
A rich snippet should not be confused with a featured snippet – it does not show up on the top of the SERPs. Rich snippets can appear anywhere in search results while featured snippets always appear at position zero.
Rich snippets are an enhanced version of an organic search result, with extra or "rich" information such as ratings, pricing, photos etc. It may have a slightly expanded real estate than other search results, according to information marked up on the site using structured schema data. Studies say that rich snippets get a higher click-through-rate than organic search results.
Some examples of rich snippets:
Contrastingly, here's what a featured snippet looks like – note that they appear below paid results, but above organic search results:
How to Optimize for Google's Featured Snippets in 2019
Before we begin optimization, here's some important tips and facts to know about featured snippets:
- If your pages rank higher up in the SERPs {Page 1 or top 10}, there is a much better chance of being featured. If a page does not rank in the top 10, it is almost impossible to be featured. Improving overall SEO for your website is key.
- Google points out that it "programmatically determines that a page contains a likely answer to the user's question, and displays the result as a featured snippet" so adding a special code or having structured markup on your website will not increase your chances of being featured.
- Search queries for recipes, DIY processes, best of, definitions, pricing, and reviews get featured results most often.
- Asking questions and answering them in a paragraph under 50 words helps optimize content to be featured. Include a FAQ section and update your content regularly.
- Featured snippets are triggered by long-tail keywords and question-type search queries
A Step-by-Step Guide to Optimizing for Featured Snippets:
1. Improve Overall SEO
Since being featured is possible only when your content is ranked high, you must follow SEO best practises. Work on high quality content that is readable, findable, and consumable.
2. Determine Target Keywords
Find featured snippet opportunities for your website in two ways – determine low-hanging fruit with keywords that are already ranking on the first page and find new opportunities using a tool like AHREFs. Do keyword research with a focus on questions and target the most frequently occuring words in featured snippets {As Identified by AHREFs}
3. Revise Old Content
Revise existing content to answer questions. Your existing content may be high-ranking but will need a different approach to getting featured. Include the target keyword in the first paragraph – it will show up as bold within the featured snippet. Add summaries and lists to prime your content to be featured.
4. Create New Strategic Content
Browse Google for more questions and track trends across the internet in order to decide your new content strategy. Create content that answers questions – Who, What, When, Why, Where, and How – relevant to your product, industry, and web site.
5. Organize Queries Tactically
Structure your content into generic, specific, and more specific queries in order to answer related and non-related queries. Add a hook to your content so that a user is forced to click through the snippet on top your web site.
6. Get Factual
Google gives preference to factual, numbers-driven and and well-structured content. Add as much colour and richness in terms of your answer – dates, ingredients, steps, numbers all help. This doesn't mean a specific markup – <table> <ol> and <ul> work just as well.
7. Answer Questions, Succinctly
Add the main question your content piece is answering as a heading or subheading, and answer the same concisely. 45-50 words is the recommended length for the same. The answer can be subsequently elaborated and structured for easy reading.
8. Answer Related Questions in One Article
A page should be structured and written in such a way that it answers a primary question as well as any related questions. If a page has been featured, it will get featured in related queries as well. This establishes credibility and authority. Look up the "People also Ask" section for related question suggestions.
9. Add Images
Use eye-catching, branded and annotated images throughout your webpage. WordPress adds dates to images, so updating images periodically will help as well.
10. Monitor & Get Indexed
Constantly monitor the queries that you have been featured for, their CTRs and any new opportunities that pop up. Use Google Search Console to submit a page to Google and fetch it for re-indexing.
In conclusion, a featured snippet increases not only exposure and traffic, but also relevancy of traffic. It isn't easy to be featured – but finding snippet opportunities as well as optimizing your content can help you win and be ahead of your competitors!
In order to optimize, target informational intent and question-based queries. Add summaries and lists – ensuring that you order questions directly, clearly, and concisely.

"10 Simple Ways to Signature Service"
"Simple (and Free) Customer Service Solutions for Restaurants and Eating Establishments" By Albert Barneto
"Signature service" is a term that I use to describe customer service that is fresh and unique to a customer's experience with your business. All companies have "signature products" that separate them from the rest of the pack, something that their competitor lacks. "Signature service" is just that. Customer service that is unique and special; that when a guest leaves your restaurant they scratch their heads and go "WOW". That my friends, IS what I call "Signature Service".

Thompson returns to Hong Kong
Three-time Hong Kong Open champion Peter Thomson is to be the guest of honour at this year's tournament, title sponsor UBS has announced.
The Australian legend will attend a gala dinner saluting his contribution to the championship shortly before the tournament is staged at the Hong Kong Golf Club in Fanling on November 15-18.
Thomson, 78, said he was looking forward to returning to the scene of his triumphs in 1960, 1965 and 1967.
Defending Champion Jose Manuel Lara will return in an attempt to retain the UBS Hong Kong Open title. Lara will face stiff competition from PGA Tour winners Stuart Appleby and Arron Obeholser ? who will both be making their debuts in the prestigious event.
Lara also faces the likes of Retief Goosen and Mike Weir as he attempts to become only the second player after four time champion Hsieh Yung-Yo to defend his crown.
Ryder Cup Course Named
In anticipation of the 2010 Ryder Cup to be held at the Celtic Manor Resort in South Wales, the new course designed and built specifically for the Ryder Cup has been named The Twenty Ten Course.
The purpose built course varies from holes with a links-like feel to them to holes surrounded by lakes. The tricky eighteenth lies right under the Twenty Ten Club balcony ? where members will be able to cheer on the blues or reds to victory in 2010. With a limited membership restricted to 450, demand will be huge for the chance not only to play on the Ryder Cup course but also to ensure tickets for what is now the third biggest sporting event on the planet.
Gareth Edwards, Welsh Rugby stalwart was quick to accept the invitation to become the first honorary captain of The Twenty Club and will be looking forward to watching the Ryder Cup in three years time at the new £16 million course.
Sunningdale Golf Day
The tenth Sunningdale Golf Day took place last week to raise money for childrens cancer charity CLIC Sargent. Patrons of the charity Gary Lineker, Eddie Jordan and Barry McGuigan took part alongside fellow sports stars Alec Stewart, Keith Wood and Damon Hill amongst others.
Each star played with one of twenty four teams playing at the Berkshire course- while it was hoped the charity auction would raise over £80,000 with prizes including a chauffeur driven trip to the FA Cup Final and a holiday for two in the South African Cape.
Kinross online
Golfers keen to play at either of Kinross? sublime courses ? The Bruce or The Montgomery ? can now book tee times days in advance over the internet.
Players will also be the first on Scottish courses to have access to one of the world?s top GPS systems ? Prolink ? in their golf buggies. The ?professional caddy? service provides helpful course information such as distance to the pin from wherever the ball lies, and has already been installed in buggies at the Irish Ryder Cup venue K Club and Barbados? Sandy Lane. www.golfkinross.com
Green developments
Revolutionary synthetic greens have been installed at Preston Beach Golf Club in Western Australia. Developed by OzGolf Technologies and Sports Technology International, the synthetic surface has resulted in drastic reduction of fresh water usage, as well as tackling slow play on the course.
Greens, tees and fringes no longer require such an intense upkeep in the hot sandy climate owing to the new synthetic surface. Players also need not worry about walking across the lines of others or replacing pitch and spike marks. Rendering marking your ball unnecessary, it is hoped the greens could speed up a round by as much as thirty minutes.

Washington: The World Bank has said that India's economy is projected to grow at 7.5 per cent in the next three years, supported by robust investment and private consumption.
The bank, in its Global Economic Prospects released yesterday, said that India is estimated to have grown 7.2 per cent in fiscal year 2018-19, which ended March 31 this year. A slowdown in government consumption was offset by solid investment, which benefitted from public infrastructure spending.
The World Bank said, as against a growth rate of 6.6 per cent in 2018, China's growth rate in 2019 is projected to be dropped to 6.2 per cent and then subsequently to 6.1 per cent in 2020 and 6 per cent in 2021.
With this, India will continue to retain the position of being the fastest growing emerging economy. And by 2021, its growth rate is projected to be 1.5 per cent more than China's 6 per cent.
The World Bank's report came as good news for India days after Data from Central Statistics Office (CSO) showed that India's economic growth slowed to a five-year low of 5.8 per cent in the fourth quarter of 2018-19, pushing the country behind China.

Alex Haber of Heavy New York conducted an interview with THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA vocalist Mike Hranica prior to the band's December 11 concert at The Gramercy Theatre in New York, New York. You can watch the entire chat below. A few excerpts follow (transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET).
On whether he has a different perspective on the band's 2009 "With Roots Above And Branches Below" studio album now that they are playing it live in full:
Mike: "Yeah. Certainly. We've always been pretty forthright and outspoken about not really loving our old material. I say that as generously as possible. We do not like our older material. But at the same time, we wanted to celebrate this record. It does feel close enough versus if we were to do 'Plagues'. It's been really great, actually. I thought it might drag. It's the longest set we've ever played. But it actually really flies by. It feels that it goes faster than the 40-minute sets like the [set supporting] PARKWAY [DRIVE], which was more like 35 minutes. It goes by fast. It's been cool talking to a lot of folks that the record meant something to them 10 years ago in a different stage in all of our lives."
On whether playing "With Roots Above And Branches Below" makes him appreciate their older material a bit more:
Mike: "No one will ever hear 'Plagues' in its entirety. That would be a cold day in hell. But, yeah, as much as older material is what it is and we kind of look down on it, I've always admired our honesty, and that's something I've always been unapologetic about as far as it wasn't like we were saying things for the sense of money or fame or any of that bullshit. It was always coming from a very authentic, real place in us. So it's cool to look back on that, even though I have varying opinions on some of the things I wrote on the record. But it's nostalgic and cathartic, all in all. As far as songwriting goes, we're writing a new record right now. We know we need to include some riffs, because that's what all 'With Roots Above' is: riff, riff, riff, riff."
On whether he needs to hear music first in order to develop a lyrical concept or theme:
Mike: "I've kind of always approached it similar. We're writing the new record now and something we've been doing is I've been writing a song's worth of lyrics and then write the song to it. We certainly have times where we write to vocal parts, but there's been times where I have, like, a sort of like a poor piece of poetry and then say, 'This would work as the chorus.' Then John [Gering, keyboards], Kyle [Sipress, guitar] and the band will write around it. I think to answer your question, we've approached it from as many different angles as possible. Early on, it was, 'Hey, here's the song. Put vocals over top of it.' That's how it always was. I think we want to create more of an identity and more composition to each song, more of a story and a narrative to each individual piece. That's had to change rather than having 12 songs with 12 sets of lyrics over it. We've changed it, if that answers your questions."
On the band's sometimes odd choices for songtitles, including "Ben Has A Kid" and "Assistant To The Regional Manager":
Mike: "We always heard goofy songs like DILLINGER [ESCAPE PLAN] and UNDEROATH with these lackadaisical song titles. ETID [EVERY TIME I DIE] as well. The songs were always very serious, but we've always had a prevailing sense of humor in the band. We all have a particular sense of comedy amongst the group. Back then, we were just, like, 'Ah, just call it whatever.' That's what we did. I think the furthest we went was 'With Roots Above' — [that] was the last time we didn't have serious song names. From there, we started giving the songs real names. But 'With Roots Above', it was like a shoutout to different guys in the crew back then. Ben was our manager and sound guy for ten years. He now has two kids. Back then, he only had one kid. Robert, our tour manager, for a while, he always used to say, 'Give me half.' Wiggly was a guitar tech. Wildman was our friend Steven. So, yeah, 'With Roots Above' had a few songtitles that were just like sort of inside jokes with our crew guys."
On THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA's plans for a new studio album:
Mike: "We're still in the planning stages as far as a hundred percent locking in studio time, although it's looking like late March, April-ish or something. And hopefully a record [out in] November. I would love November — that's what I'm kind of aiming at — but we also don't wanna rush it and compromise the rollout process. Especially 'cause we're trying to do something very different this time around and put out a record people haven't heard… When we first started writing, Kyle and John had almost 30 songs put together and they listened to them and they were, like, 'This just sounds like 'Transit Blues Part 2'.' So we were, like, 'We're not doing that.' We look back on 'Transit Blues' pretty fondly. We would definitely change a number of things if we could, but there's no point in redoing it… For this record, the goal was to write 20 songs, which is way more than we usually do — we usually write 13 songs or 12 songs and those songs make the record. So we're putting together a bunch of 'em and then we'll sit down and look at 'em and say, 'What didn't make the cut?' So, it'll be interesting. There will be friction, but all for the better and hopefully a better, different record than what folks have heard."
THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA recently announced a deal with Solid State Records for the release of its next album.
The band's tour celebrating the tenth anniversary of "With Roots Above And Branches Below" wraps December 16 in Columbus, Ohio.
"Transit Blues" was released in October 2016 via Rise Records.

This wallpaper is going to be my last one until exams are over.
I've been working on this wallpaper for who knows how long. Anyway, this wallpaper is the one that caused me the most trouble. Had to remake it not once but twice due to the layers overload. The floor was a killer to get into the right position. Added many variations of buildings. Thanks to the people at Animepaper.net for giving some helpful advices. Tons of icon room for desktops like mine XD
Thanks for the comments and favs on my last wallpaper!
Please leave comments, suggestions, critisms, or favs. It's much appreciated.

How cool. I really like how you did the background. Well great job!
Zefie May 23, 2006
simply wow heavens-dragon, this is absolutely awesome ! really like the redish tones, quite goves the theme of the broken ancient city ^_^ buildings are really nicely added and blended to the mists of the background, giving little eerie and abandoned feeling. flying bird silhuettes emphasize the mist and are great details. the floor looks wonderful ! perspective gives nicely depth and the square pattern makes it look interesting. lights coming from the sky gives nicely brightness and also gives the theme of rising sun.
scan you used fits perfecly and it also blends nicely with all the elements :) lighting effects on the back of the guy turns out well and also makes him look really strong. overall really it has powerful atmosphere and like the strong use of redish tones. you made great job again and thank you for sharing it !

I am like that for some time now. This one took me 4 weeks to notice it seems @_@
And probably you won't believe the number of notifs I have now even if I tell you...so spare me for this one k'?
O.k as for the wall...
Nice and clean concept with this. The perspective is definitely off but it's not very disturbing if you are not a picky. The color tones are the most awesome part if I may sa so. The rest is 'decent'. I know this is not your best but a nice one for a change...ohh...and thx for the plug O_O

Saltford C of E Primary School has opened it new six-classroom teaching block. The Chair of the Council Councillor, Cherry Beath, cut a ceremonial ribbon to open the new six-classroom teaching block, which replaces temporary buildings which were in a poor condition, while meeting the growing demand for school places in the area.
Part of the Wellsway Multi Academy Trust, Saltford C of E Primary is a popular 420-place school with a 'Good' OFSTED rating.
Staff and children moved into the new £1.8m classroom block which includes toilets, an office and a group room, at the start of the Autumn Term.
Dawn Elliott, Headteacher of Saltford C of E Primary School, said, "We are delighted with the design and construction of the new six classroom block. The learning spaces are light and airy and we like the contemporary feel of the building.
"Staff and pupils are inspired by these outstanding facilities. We would like to thank everyone associated with the project."
Andrea Arlidge, Chief Executive of Wellsway Multi Academy Trust, added, "It is wonderful to see the children and staff settling in to these lovely new classrooms, which are giving Saltford Primary the learning environment it deserves. The headteacher, governors and parents have shown vision and determination in driving forward developments at the school, including a new 'secret garden' and early years play area as well as the sports pitch. Congratulations to them all."
The project was funded by Bath & North East Somerset Council and managed by Project Delivery in association with the Schools Capital & Organisation Team within the Council's People and Communities Directorate.
The building was designed by BBA Architects of Bath and the main contractor was H Mealing and Sons of Bath. Work started on site in October 2016.
As part of the project, and in negotiation with Saltford Parish Council, a new sports pitch, which can be used by the community out-of-school-hours, has been provided at the park next to the school further enhancing school and local community facilities.

Kennard Street
The original cast iron water main within the project area was installed in 1924. It has suffered repeated breaks over the years and has exceeded its useful life.
SPRWS crews along with Quam Construction Co. will replace the existing 6" cast iron water main with 8" HDPE pipe via a trenchless method called pipe bursting.
This project is expected to begin in September of 2019.
Project Updates
Monday, October 28, 2019
The water main is installed on Kennard Street. Additional work will take place in the next few weeks to connect services, remove temporary water, and pave the disturbed portions of the roadway.

Actors who recreated iconic Bollywood/Pop songs and aced them
Bollywood and pop classics are definitely unbeatable, there's no argument there. The era of remixes proved that the original remains untouched and untainted and is here to stay, despite several years having passed since it was once popular. Here's a look at Bollywood actors who starred in the remakes of iconic Bollywood songs and aced them.
Varun Dhawan: Varun Dhawan owns every dance video he is a part of and it's no different when he starred in not 1, but 4 recreated music videos for his films, rocking on the Judwaa soundtrack and shaking what his mama gave him to the catchy Chalti Hai Kya 9 se 12 and Oonchi Hai Building.
Nora Fatehi: Nora Fatehi's recreation of Sushmita Sen's popular song Dilbar for Milap Zaveri's Satyameva Jayate has taken over the world, literally, when the song topped the Global YouTube Charts within 2 weeks of its release, breaking several records and making history.
Sunny Leone: Sunny Leone made heads turn when she sizzled on screen in the recreated version of Laila Main Laila in the Shahrukh Khan starrer, Raees, setting the screen on fire with her amazing moves.
Alia Bhatt: Like Varun Dhawan, Alia too has known to rock the dance floor and has been a part of the iconic Badri Ki Dulhania, which was the recreated version of the popular song Pinjre waali Muniya! Their other song Tamma Tamma was equally popular and is a well-known dance number at all parties.
Katrina Kaif: While Katrina Kaif has sizzled in a lot of songs, Kaala Chashma is one we need to focus on. This catchy number even though is not a Bollywood song is a song no party can do without.
