Our Solutions News Blog was envisioned to gather and share information from the very best to help you and your business to become more effective.
Guy Kawasaki is a special advisor to the Motorola business unit of Google. He is also the author of APE, What the Plus!, Enchantment, and nine other books. HubSpot invited Guy to reveal the secrets behind his incredibly active and popular social media profiles that enable him to reach millions each day.
Many people ask me how I manage my social media accounts (and others make stuff up rather than figure out what I do). Here are the gory, inside-story details of what I do. Perhaps you may find some of my methods useful to help you get the most out of social media, too.
On Twitter, I'm @GuyKawasaki. My Twitter practices defy the recommendations of social media "schmexperts" (schmuck + experts) to manually post a limited number of tweets and not use automation, repetition, contributors, and ghostwriters.
I have never been on the Twitter Suggested User List, and I have more than 1.2 million followers. I attribute this success to providing a lot of interesting links that people retweet. These retweets expose me to many people who then follow me. There are five (yes, five -- count 'em) sources that feed my Twitter account:
1) HolyKaw
I co-founded a website called Alltop. Half of it is an aggregation of 30,000 RSS feeds organized into 1,500 topics ranging from adoption to zoology. The other half is a website called HolyKaw.
HolyKaw provides a continuous flow of interesting and diverse stories that should elicit the response, "Holy cow!" (Holycow.com was taken but since my name is pronounced "Cow-asaki," I figured that HolyKaw would work.)
The posts on HolyKaw are short summations of stories, a picture or video to illustrate the story, and a link to the source. Approximately twenty people/organizations have contributor-level access to HolyKaw.
We pay several as editors -- they are not "interns" in the sense of unpaid students. Organizations such as Futurity and National Geographic also have contributor-level access because they consistently post great stories.
The headline of a HolyKaw post -- for example, "Compilation of stories about introverts, outsiders, and loners" -- automatically generates tweets that go out through a custom app called GRATE, for "Guy's Repeating Automated Tweet Engine." These slightly modified tweets appear four times, eight hours apart.
The reason for repeated tweets is to maximize traffic and therefore advertising sales. I've found that each tweet gets approximately the same amount of clickthroughs. Why get 600 page views when you can get 2,400? Like CNN, ESPN, and NPR, we provide content repeatedly because people live in different time zones and have different social media habits.
2) Repurposed Google+ Posts
Three other people also post to HolyKaw via Google+: Peg Fitzpatrick, Trey Ratcliff, and me. (I explain this in the Google+ section below.)
3) Repurposed Facebook.com Posts
Peg Fitzpatrick manages the Facebook.com/guysco brand page. When she posts stories there, they automatically appear as tweets.
4) My Comments and Responses
I use Tweetdeck to respond to @-mentions of @Guykawasaki, as well as to direct messages. If you see a response tweet, it is always me -- never anyone else.
5) Promotional Tweets
Finally, if you see a tweet that is promoting my books, appearances, or investments, it's almost always one that I posted with Tweetdeck or that Peg Fitzpatrick has scheduled using HootSuite.
On Google+, I'm GuyKawasaki, and Google+ is the core of my social media existence. It is the Macintosh of social media: better, used by fewer people, and often condemned by the experts. Unlike other social media profiles I own, no one else ever posts, responds, or comments on Google+ as me.
My orientation toward Google+ (and social media in general) is what I call the NPR Model. My role is to curate good stories that entertain, enlighten, and inspire people 365 days a year. My goal is to earn the right to promote my books, companies, or causes to them just as NPR earns the right to run fundraising telethons from time to time.
My posts range from first-person accounts of being a black tourist in China, what happened to Allen Iverson after his NBA career, and gifts from Air New Zealand. I use five primary resources to find stories to post:
1) My Alltop Account
This is a custom compilation of the RSS feeds of websites such as In Focus, The Big Picture, YouTube, and NPR that are mother lodes of great content. This is my one-stop shopping cart for content.
2) HolyKaw
Yes, I post what my contributors post as me (i.e. under my name) because the HolyKaw contributors are often better at being me than me. Wrap your mind around that.
3) What's Hot Feed of Google+
Think of this as crowdsourced story leads. The beauty of this feed is that you know that people have already judged the stories as good, though it tends to be heavy on Android news and inspirational quotations.
4) Most Popular Stories
When I'm checking out stories from the first two sources, I look at the "Most Emailed" and "Most Popular" listings on the right side of most websites. These often yield great material. I've also compiled a collection of most emailed and most popular feeds at Most-Popular.alltop to make this even easier for you.
5) Pointers From Various Friends and Family
Many people know that I'm on the hunt for good content, so they send me leads. These are almost always good enough to post.
Some of my Google+ posts pass the "holy cow!" test, and there is a plug-in to publish Google+ posts to a WordPress blog. This means I can cherry pick my Google+ posts for HolyKaw. (Look for the hashtag "HolyKaw" to see which will appear in HolyKaw and later Twitter.)
Peg Fitzpatrick, Trey Ratcliff, and I use this method to select some of their Google+ posts for inclusion in HolyKaw. They do this to gain additional exposure since these posts are tweeted to my 1.2 million Twitter followers four times eight hours apart through the HolyKaw GRATE machine.
Three Google+ Power Tips
I adore Google+, so let me provide these power tips for using the service:
1) Find anytime, but post when you're cogent.
I often get up in the middle of the night and check Alltop and the Google+ What's Hot feed on my Nexus 7. When I find something good, I share it to a Google+ private community with only one member: me. When I wake up in the morning, I go to this community to see what stories I found in a less cogent condition and write up a post.
2) Schedule Google+ posts.
There are multiple ways to schedule Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Pinterest posts using various tools. However, Google+ makes it harder than those services. There are two ways to do this, however. First, there's Do Share, a Chrome extension. Second, if you have a HootSuite enterprise account, you can schedule to a Google+ Business Page (as opposed to a personal profile). Since my Google+ focus is on my personal profile, I don't use the HootSuite method.
3) Get rid of trolls.
Be a hard-ass: Get rid of people who irritate you. Think of your Google+ posts as your swimming pool. If people pee in it, throw them out. There are some people you need to get out of your social media life. A Chrome extension called Nuke Comments is a lovely solution because it enables you to delete a comment, block the person, and report him/her with one click.
I have two personas on Facebook: Facebook.com/guy and Facebook.com/guysco. The first is a personal profile, and the second is a brand page. I operate them differently.
First, a virtual assistant monitors my Google+ account and manually adds most of my Google+ posts to Facebook.com/guy using Buffer. (Disclosure: I advise Buffer.)
There are plugins that can automatically publish Google+ posts to Facebook. However, every Google+ post is not appropriate for Facebook, and there's no way for me to tag the ones that are appropriate. Thus, a human has to make the decision, download the photo or YouTube embed link, make minor edits such as removing the "+" in Google+ +mentions, and post to Facebook.
I monitor comments at Facebook.com/guy and respond to them as much as time permits. My virtual assistant never acts as me, so either I answer or there is no response at all.
Second, for Facebook.com/guysco, Peg Fitzpatrick, whom I mentioned earlier, makes all the posts to this page, and these stories automatically become tweets. This Facebook Page is a branding effort for "Guy's companies," which are primarily my books.
On LinkedIn, I am Guy Kawasaki. The virtual assistant who takes my Google+ posts and publishes them to Facebook uses the same process for LinkedIn using Buffer. One of the cool things about Buffer is that you can post to Facebook and LinkedIn at the same time, so this is easy.
There are seldom comments on my LinkedIn posts, so I seldom visit my posts to respond -- of course, this may be a self-fulfilling process. But I have to draw the line somewhere, or I'll never play hockey during the day, which is a key component of my happiness.
On Pinterest, I'm Guykawasaki, but Peg Fitzpatrick manages my Pinterest presence. There are two reasons: First, I don't have enough time to do a good job with more than three services (my priority, in order, is Google+, then Twitter, then Facebook).
Second, I don't have Peg's magic sauce to manage Pinterest as well as the Pinterest community deserves. Part of doing social media well is knowing what you don't know and what you can't do well, and then finding someone who does.
Don't get the impression that there is a huge team of people doing what I described above. The total of all resources, excluding my own activities, is approximately one full-time equivalent. In addition, I spend three to four hours per day creating my own posts and commenting and responding.
To summarize, here's quick wrap-up to review my social media methods:
Twitter: Mostly generated from the headlines of HolyKaw stories, four times, eight hours apart; contributions via Google+ and Facebook; and manual promotional tweets.
Google+: Me only. Think of me as the Mike Rowe of Google+ -- I'm willing to do the "dirty jobs."
Pinterest: Peg Fitzpatrick acting as me.
Facebook and LinkedIn: Virtual assistant reposting some of my Google+ posts.
Again, no one responds as me (for better or worse, as I've sometimes learned) on social media, though many different people may be behind a post.
This is how I manage my social media presence as of May 2013. I hope there are techniques here that you can use. Stay tuned, because my procedures are ever-changing.

The first home in Canada qualified under the new ENERGY STAR® for New Homes (ESNH) Standard was unveiled last week in Guelph Ontario.
The custom home, built by Sloot Construction Ltd., is located in Phase II of the Hale's Manor community in Guelph.
Attendees at the unveiling were provided with a pictorial overview of the energy-efficient features of the home and an airtightness test demonstration, one of the stringent criteria for qualification under the ESNH Standard that also requires the inclusion of energy-saving features such as:
The ENERGY STAR® for New Homes initiative was developed by Natural Resources Canada to help the public easily identify homes that are approximately 20 per cent more energy efficient than those built to minimum building codes.
To receive the ENERGY STAR® qualified label, homes are inspected to ensure they meet the technical requirements for energy efficiency developed by the Government of Canada. Each ENERGY STAR® qualified home is third-party verified by Certified Energy Evaluators, and labelled by EnerQuality, a licensed Service Organization.
The ENERGY STAR® name and symbol are registered trademarks of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and are administered and promoted in Canada by Natural Resources Canada.
"The home building industry, led by innovators like Sloot Construction, continues to demonstrate its capacity to aim higher and do better," said EnerQuality's Corey McBurney. "The new national standard raises the bar for better-built homes, and sets a benchmark that is readily achievable by both custom and production residential builders."
"In five years, this Standard will be the 'new normal', as it will inform the Ontario Building Code minimum requirements," McBurney continued.
Building codes around the world are moving quickly toward low-carbon and carbon neutral performance standards. The National Energy Code for Buildings in Canada recently published the first generation of outcome-based codes for Canada, which is in the process of being adopted by several provinces nationwide.
Retrofitting existing homes and buildings for energy efficiency is a largely latent market which has been highlighted by many policy makers as a primary means by which to create jobs while reducing community energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
GLOBE Advisors is currently working on a project in British Columbia on behalf of utilities and the provincial government to develop a strategy for further developing the home energy performance industry in that province - a strategy that will focus largely on increasing consumer demand for retrofit activities and catalyzing industry support for related activities and services.
Municipal building codes (where relevant) are also raising the bar for energy performance of the building stock.
In Vancouver for example, the Greenest City Action Plan has established a 2020 goal for all new buildings to be carbon neutral and the existing building stock as a whole is to be 20 per cent more energy efficient. Achieving this goal requires a shift to performance-based codes and to a building design approach which focuses on a building's envelope first.

I was an early proponent of QR Codes, but now I have to admit that they are history. Invisible ink and augmented-reality apps are replacing the clunky codes. The new technology is superior in that you don't have to take a picture of the code, which then records your contact information and sends you to a website, video or document, or sends you a text message giving a web address. With the new apps, you just run your smartphone over the content and get the enhanced features immediately.
Here's a sampling of the new technologies that will surely supplant QR Codes, permanently.
As Springwise reports, the Japanese newspaper Tokyo Shimbu has launched the AR News app, which enables kids to scan specially marked articles with smartphones to reveal more kid-friendly versions of the stories.
The app was developed by Dentsu, which was challenged to make newspapers appealing to younger readers. Articles suitable for children are printed with blue borders. Using AR News app, readers who place tablets or smartphones over those articles will see a simplified Japanese alphabet for those still learning to read, along with animated characters and graphics, pop-up headlines and explanations that make the topics easier for kids to understand.
Blippar is a mobile app that lets users pull information, entertainment, offers and augmented-reality 3D experiences from markers placed on newspapers, magazines, products and posters. No clicks, no delays, no codes, says Crunchbase: just instant gratification.
Another new technology, Touchcode, is an invisible electronic code printed on paper, cardboard, film or labels. When you touch your smartphone or tablet to it, tickets sing, toys come to life, or you can confirm the authenticity of a brand, just to give a few examples. Items imprinted with Touchcode's invisible ink look no different from standard print products, until you touch them with your smartphone.
The QR codes did have some brilliant and successful applications, like the mobile-code campaign for an independent music store in Hong Kong that sold music by allowing users to listen to and buy the tunes of 14 bands, half of which sold out their inventory. But more often, the codes were deployed poorly in spots where they couldn't be scanned, like billboards, or -- perhaps lamest ever -- on license plates. Some QR Codes require a proprietary scanner good only for that code, which few people are likely to want to download. And, while many people still have no idea what a QR Code is or how to use one, instructions rarely have been included.
What are the lessons of QR for brands using the new technologies?
It will be fascinating to see whether these new technologies are used both creatively and effectively. The potential is vast. Hopefully agencies won't blow it this time around.

It's 7:54 on a frigid January morning in San Francisco. You're waiting outside the Moscone Center, in a queue of several thousand people, many of whom have been camping out in the cold for over 12 hours. The security detail for this event rivals the Democratic National Convention. Another hour passes before you're comfortably seated in a giant auditorium that's crackling with anticipation.
Finally, at 9:43 a.m., the moment you've been waiting for arrives. The thin, soft-spoken man gracing the stage in his signature turtleneck and jeans, clears his throat, takes a sip from his water bottle, then pauses for a full 12 seconds before uttering these words:
"This is a day I've been looking forward to for two and a half years. Every once in a while a revolutionary product comes along that changes everything."
Such was the scene on January 9, 2007, when Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone in one of the most captivating product launches in history. Indeed the iPhone was a revolutionary product, but it wasn't the iPhone that inspired thousands of people to camp out in the cold over night. It was Jobs' unique presentation style -- which Apple fans referred to as a "Stevenote" -- that helped make this among the most awe-inspiring, memorable keynotes ever delivered.
As Carmine Gallo puts it in his book, The Presentation Secrets of Steve Jobs, Steve "transformed the typical, dull, technical, plodding slideshow into a theatrical event complete with heroes, villains, a supporting cast, and stunning backdrops. People who witness a Steve Jobs presentation for the first time describe it as an extraordinary experience."

The Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation (CCEMC) is seeking innovative ideas from around the world for a $35 million open innovation challenge that will create new, carbon-based products and markets. The grand challenge is the first ever initiated by an organization in Alberta.
It is expected to identify multiple technologies that could provide significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions by transforming carbon from a liability into an asset.
The CCEMC is seeking novel solutions for innovative carbon use - bright ideas at any stage of development that are rooted in solid science. Focus areas include, as examples, processes that produce high value goods from greenhouse gas emissions, technologies that fix captured carbon into solid or readily transportable starting materials, high-value materials with high carbon content that could be produced from greenhouse gases and biological processes that capture or consume carbon and convert it into a new viable product, such as the creation of oils from algae.
"We are witnessing how industry-wide open innovation and collaboration can dramatically accelerate and improve environmental performance in the oil sands, a key economic driver for Canada," said Dr. Dan Wicklum, chief executive of Canada's Oil Sands Innovation Alliance (COSIA).
"The Grand Challenge represents a unique opportunity to bring the same kind of leading-edge thinking to the development of new technologies to unlock the potential of Canada's energy economy in an environmentally responsible way."
Submissions are open at www.ccemcgrandchallenge.com and technical solution providers are encouraged to register now to signify their interest.

GLOBE Advisors undertook six months of research in 2012 examining three high-growth sectors in British Columbia's clean economy - specifically Clean Energy Supply and Storage; Green Building and Energy Efficiency; and Clean Transportation. From this research, GLOBE Advisors published three market reports - one on each of these three key sectors.
These reports build on GLOBE's West Coast Clean Economy study released in March 2012 and provide critical insights on job creation and investment promotion opportunities in British Columbia. The job numbers presented in the reports were quantified using updated and proven methodologies that allow for the identification of industries and occupations that are part of these sectors in B.C.
Secondary research and employment estimates for this study were backed up by extensive consultation and outreach activities, including more than 90 in-depth interviews with industry leaders from successful B.C. companies, academic institutions, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations. The interviews were designed to identify current trends, economic development opportunities and challenges, and employment demand and supply issues.
In addition, GLOBE Advisors was involved in organizing a one-day "Green Workforce Development Symposium" alongside the City of Vancouver, the Vancouver Economic Commission, and six public post-secondary institutions in March 2012 that was designed to explore current and potential future employment opportunities and challenges in BC's clean economy.

The latest annual AdReaction study, focusing on consumer opinions and perceptions of advertising, finds that even in this digital-centric climate, U.S. consumers are likely to view offline media ads most favorably -- with TV viewed positively by 49% of respondents, followed by magazine ads (41%), and newspaper ads (40%).
The 2012 study finds the most positive attitudes towards digital ads are for opt-in email ads, which 28% of respondents find very or somewhat favorable. Social media and mobile advertising rank towards the bottom at 13% and 9%, respectively.
Examining changes in attitudes towards advertising formats between 2009 and 2012, the traditional media types with the most positive favorability changes: newspapers (+6) and radio (+6). The only upticks for digital favorability are for mobile (+2) and non-opt-in email (+2). All other forms of digital media lost favorability points with Americans, led by social media (-8), online video (-6) and online search (-5).
The global study was conducted using qualitative/quantitative methodologies across 18 countries, with a total of more than 6,000 interviews. The U.S. subset findings represent quanitative data only.

The global transition to a low-carbon economy is underway and firms that supply low-carbon goods and services can thrive in this expanding market.
But for Canada to thrive in a low-carbon context, governments need to act now to set the appropriate policy signals so that businesses can position themselves to be competitive and can tap into this market.
These are the conclusions of a new report the National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (NRT) released today entitled Framing the Future: Embracing the Low-Carbon Economy, billed as the first report to broadly consider how Canada needs to position itself with respect to low-carbon goods and services markets in order to prosper through the global transition to a low-carbon economy.
"A low-carbon economy is no longer a concept of the future. Governments around the world are moving ahead, and a number of jurisdictions already have formal low-carbon growth plans in place," said National Roundtable Interim Chair, Robert Slater.
"While governments need to put in place the conditions that will stimulate innovation, mobilize investment, enhance market access, and foster talent and skills development, private interests need to drive the process, engage with governments, and play a leadership role in developing a vision for Canada's low-carbon future."
The report seeks to quantify the potential low-carbon market opportunities; assess and characterize the risks to Canada in the transition to a low-carbon future, including quantifying the risk of emissions lock-in; and to put forward a framework for governments and the private sector to work collectively to ensure future prosperity in a carbon-constrained world.
Planning for low-carbon growth can also help navigate any trade, market access and emissions lock-in risks during the process of reducing the emissions intensity of our economy.
The report says the global market for low carbon goods and services could grow from $339 billion (2010) to between $3.9 and $8.3 trillion per year by 2050. If Canada were to retain its current average share of the global economy for these sectors in 2050, domestic low carbon production would reach between $70 and $149 billion per year.
Sending the right policy signals is a pre-requisite for broad low-carbon growth and to help reduce the economic risks associated with accessing and trading in this market, according to the report.
Examples cited included border carbon adjustments, low-carbon fuel standards, and help to limit the costs of meeting long-term climate change mitigation objectives.
Not sending strong policy signals now could result in inefficient investments in carbon-intensive assets and infrastructure over the next decade warns the report. Meeting our emission reduction targets would then end up costing Canada in the range of $87 billion by 2050 as a function of both the increased quantity of emissions and increased per unit cost of emission reductions due to stranded assets, it states.
"Canada needs a low-carbon growth plan, and with this report the NRT has put forward a strong foundation for it. Based on extensive research and stakeholder consultation, the NRT framework for low-carbon growth positions Canada for long-term prosperity," said Slater.
The NRT's low-carbon vision Canada in 2050 is as a nation of:
It also sees Canada as a nation where:
Getting to this ideal state requires actions along four basic lines, says the report.
FIRST, federal and provincial governments need to stimulate low-carbon innovation.
SECOND, public and private sectors need to mobilize investment in low-carbon infrastructure and technology.
THIRD, federal and provincial governments need to enhance Canadian firms' access to fast-growing low-carbon markets.
FOURTH, federal and provincial governments need to work together to foster low-carbon talent and skills development.
The key messages of the NRTEE report echo the findings of research carried out by GLOBE Advisors over the last year in Canada and the United States.
GLOBE has identified five key sectors at the "core" of the low-carbon economy that have been responsible for driving growth of a cleaner economy throughout the West Coast region of North America (more here).
GLOBE suggests that accelerating investment and job creation in the low-carbon economy will require continued government leadership through supportive public policies, programs, and procurement; improved public education and engagement; innovative business and financing models, greater efforts to promote collaboration and knowledge transfer; and improved access to skilled labour, education, and training.
Framing the Future is the sixth and final report in the NRT's Climate Prosperity series examining the economic risks and opportunities of climate change to Canada. The National Roundtable is to wrap up its operations soon based on decisions taken in the last federal budget.

If you're like me, you probably use Google many times a day. But, chances are, unless you are a technology geek, you probably still use Google in its simplest form. If your current use of Google is limited to typing a few words in, and changing your query until you find what you're looking for, then I'm here to tell you that there's a better way – and it's not hard to learn. On the other hand, if you are a technology geek, and can use Google like the best of them already, then I suggest you bookmark this article of Google search tips. You'll then have the tips on hand when you are ready to pull your hair out in frustration when watching a neophyte repeatedly type in basic queries in a desperate attempt to find something.
The following Google search tips are based on my own experience and things that I actually find useful. The list is by no means comprehensive. But, I assure you that by learning and using the 12 tips below, you'll rank up there with the best of the Google experts out there. I've kept the descriptions of the search tips intentionally terse as you're likely to grasp most of these simply by looking at the example from Google anyways.
12 Expert Google Search Tips
1.Explicit Phrase:
Lets say you are looking for content about internet marketing. Instead of just typing internet marketing into the Google search box, you will likely be better off searching explicitly for the phrase. To do this, simply enclose the search phrase within double quotes.
Example: "internet marketing"
2.Exclude Words:
Lets say you want to search for content about internet marketing, but you want to exclude any results that contain the term advertising. To do this, simply use the "-" sign in front of the word you want to exclude.
Example Search: internet marketing -advertising
3.Site Specific Search:
Often, you want to search a specific website for content that matches a certain phrase. Even if the site doesn't support a built-in search feature, you can use Google to search the site for your term. Simply use the "site:somesite.com" modifier.
Example: "internet marketing" site:www.smallbusinesshub.com
4.Similar Words and Synonyms:
Let's say you want to include a word in your search, but want to include results that contain similar words or synonyms. To do this, use the "~" in front of the word.
Example: "internet marketing" ~professional
5.Specific Document Types:
If you're looking to find results that are of a specific type, you can use the modifier "filetype:". For example, you might want to find only PowerPoint presentations related to internet marketing.
Example: "internet marketing" filetype:ppt
6.This OR That:
By default, when you do a search, Google will include all the terms specified in the search. If you are looking for any one of one or more terms to match, then you can use the OR operator. (Note: The OR has to be capitalized).
Example: internet marketing OR advertising
7.Phone Listing:
Let's say someone calls you on your mobile number and you don't know who it is. If all you have is a phone number, you can look it up on Google using the phonebook feature.
Example: phonebook:617-555-1212 (note: the provided number does not work – you'll have to use a real number to get any results).
8.Area Code Lookup:
If all you need to do is to look-up the area code for a phone number, just enter the 3-digit area code and Google will tell you where it's from.
Example: 617
9.Numeric Ranges:
This is a rarely used, but highly useful tip. Let's say you want to find results that contain any of a range of numbers. You can do this by using the X..Y modifier (in case this is hard to read, what's between the X and Y are two periods.) This type of search is useful for years (as shown below), prices, or anywhere where you want to provide a series of numbers.
Example: president 1940..1950
10.Stock (Ticker Symbol):
Just enter a valid ticker symbol as your search term and Google will give you the current financials and a quick thumb-nail chart for the stock.
Example: GOOG
The next time you need to do a quick calculation, instead of bringing up the Calculator applet, you can just type your expression in to Google.
Example: 48512 * 1.02
12.Word Definitions:
If you need to quickly look up the definition of a word or phrase, simply use the "define:" command.
Example: define:plethora
Hope this list of Google search tips proves useful in your future Google searches. If there are any of your favorite Google expert power tips that I've missed, please feel free to share them in the comments.

Denmark's Christian Eriksen Scores In First International Soccer Match Since Cardiac Arrest
You can consider voting for the comeback story of the year to be complete. Danish soccer star Christian Eriksen took care of that the first time he touched the ball during a friendly match against the Netherlands.
"I was gone from this world for five minutes," Eriksen told the BBC in an interview recalling his near-death experience on a soccer pitch in June 2021.
On Saturday, he overshadowed the Dutch side's convincing victory with a goosebumps-inspiring moment.
Christian Eriksen nearly died during a game televised around the world
When Christian Eriksen last stepped onto the pitch to represent Denmark, he nearly died during a UEFA Euro 2020 game against Finland on June 12, 2021. Eriksen collapsed shortly before halftime and nearly died on the field during a game shown on TV around the world.
Motionless on the field near the end line, Eriksen suffered cardiac arrest. Medics on the field restored his heartbeat, allowing him to be transported to a hospital. Three days later, Eriksen posted on social media, announcing that he was resting comfortably. On June 18, he underwent a surgical procedure and awoke with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD) in his chest.
While the device gave Eriksen a measure of assurance that he would not experience a repeat of the near-tragedy, his soccer future was uncertain. The Italian Serie A does not allow ICDs, so that brought an end to his career with Inter Milan.
However, Brentford of the English Premier League offered a short-term contract, and Eriksen returned to high-level action in February, 259 days after the incident in Copenhagen.
Christian Eriksen scores in return to international soccer
Denmark and the Netherlands have qualified for the World Cup tournament in Qatar beginning Nov. 21, and both sides are using remaining international windows this spring and summer to pick up friendlies to keep players sharp and evaluate potential roster changes. The national teams played Saturday, with the host Dutch side coming away with a 4-2 victory.
However, there was an emotional moment two minutes after Eriksen came on as a halftime substitute. The first time Eriksen took possession, he one-timed a bullet past goalkeeper Mark Flekken to pull the Danes within 3-2. It was his first goal in any game since May 2021 while playing in the Italian League.
"I felt very welcome (by the Dutch fans)," Eriksen told Sky Sports. "I've been here before for many years. So, of course, they know me. But it was a very heart-warming reception for sure. I was happy the ball came to me and, of course, it was a lovely finish. To start the comeback in international football like this was the perfect way.
"I'm looking forward to playing at the Qatar World Cup but there are a lot of games in between and I'm focused on them."
Impressive medical technology paved the way to playing again
Christian Eriksen is likely the first World Cup-caliber player to return to action with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator, which can restart the heart after a cardiac arrest, the BBC reported. Such episodes are rare in young, fit athletes, and the underlying cause is typically genetic or the result of heart damage caused by illness. Eriksen said there was no history of a heart condition like this in his family.

If you are one of the many brides-to-be preparing to walk down the aisle in an open back or a halter top gown, here are a few of my favorite upper back and shoulder exercises that will enhance your posture and bring sexy back.
Resistance Band Rowing
Wrap a resistance band around a stationary object at about waist height — when you're seated, the band will be in line with your chest. Sit on the stability ball holding the band. (You can do this exercise standing as well). Pull your arms back, grazing your elbow behind your rib cage. As you draw your arms back, squeeze your shoulder blades together; slowly return to start, and repeat. Aim for 25-30 repetitions.
Alternating "L" Raises
Stand with your right arm by your side and your left arm in front of your thigh. Raise both arms to create the letter "L." Lower to start position, switch arms, and repeat. Aim for 20-25 repetitions .
Bent over "T" Raises
Stand with your feet aligned directly beneath your hips (you can also do this seated). Bend your knees slightly, and fold your upper body forward, allowing your arms to hang straight down. Raise your arms parallel to the floor to create the letter "T," and lower to start position. Aim for 20-25 repetitions.
Lie on your stomach with your arms and legs fully extended. Reach your fingertips for the wall in front of you and your toes to the wall behind you as you simultaneously lift your right arm and left leg off the floor. Hold them there as your lift your head and chest off the floor. Switch the arms and legs until you have a light "splashing" motion. Aim for 30 repetitions.

5 Ways You Can Control Your Impulses to Make Better Choices
Here are five things you can do to control your impulses, so you can better control your emotions and make smart decisions.
1. Recognize when you're triggered or when an impulse is coming on
This is an important first step because it will give you time to assess what you need to do. It's an opportunity to understand why you're triggered and what your emotional state is.
If you feel like you're having an impulse, ask yourself "What am I thinking?" or "What do I need right now?"
2. Think about the consequences of your actions
Give yourself extra time to decide what you want to do. Ask yourself, "If I don't act on this, will I miss out on anything?"
Consider how you will feel if you act on your impulse and whether you will regret the choice you make.
Also, consider how your actions will affect other people in your life.
3. Act on your impulse if it's healthy for you or moves you closer to an outcome you want
Not all your impulses are bad. Learn how to distinguish between an intuitive nudge or an emotional impulse. If acting on your impulse will benefit you, then follow through on it.
If you're having an emotional trigger, understand why and what's going on for you.
4. Talk to someone if you know you're struggling with something
Sometimes, dealing with your impulses could be due to factors that are not obvious to you.
If you know you have impulse control issues, get professional help by speaking to a counsellor or therapist to better understand the underlying causes of your impulses. They can provide tools and techniques that will allow you to practice self-control.
Other times, speaking to someone you trust can help put things into perspective and help you make a wise decision.
5. Direct your focus to what's most important
Ask yourself, "What do I want or need right now?" This will help you realize if you're distracted or if you need to take better care of yourself.
The greater your level of self-awareness, the better choices you will make. This will also help you take responsibility for your actions.
Final Thoughts
Your ability to control your impulses and stay focused on what matters most to you is essential if you want to achieve more success.
If you don't know how to control your impulses, you're more likely to make poor decisions. That will affect your happiness, sense of self-worth, and overall outlook on life.
Action Step: Next time you notice an impulse coming on, pause before you act and give yourself time to understand what's going on for you. If you're having an emotional reaction to something, identify what you need and whether acting on the impulse will give it to you.
Question: What other steps can you take to control your impulses to make better choices?

The Government could cut the number of pokies in pubs, and making the pokies that remain less inviting to potential problem gamblers as a result of reforms to gambling rules.
Consultation on possible reforms closed yesterday, and the minister in charge, Jan Tinetti, wants to implement recommendations by the end of next year, meaning the number of pokies in some communities could begin to fall soon (the number of pokies has already been in decline due to local authorities implementing sinking lid policies).
But the organisation representing class four gaming machines - machines in basically anywhere but a casino - has warned that this will simply push problem gamblers into the wild west of online gambling, where addicts can gamble entirely unsupervised.
Gaming Machine chair Peter Dengate-Thrush said the review came with the "very real risk of creating more harm".
He said one of the ideas put out for consultation was "very clear on stopping people from gambling", as distinct from reducing problem gambling.
Dengate-Thrush believed stopping people from gambling would be illegal.
"Gambling is a legal activity," He said. "The Gambling Act talks about controlling gambling, not banning gambling."
He said existing efforts to reduce the number of gambling machines had not led to a material reduction in problem gambling.
"This approach [of] stopping gambling [to] stop problem gambling has resulted in the removal of over 10,000 gaming machines over the last 10 to 15 years, but the rate of problem gambling remains the same," he said.
Dengate-Thrush warned that cutting the number of pokie machines would simply push people into online gambling, which was still largely unregulated and unsupervised compared with gambling machines in venues such as pubs.
But the Problem Gambling Foundation's marketing and communications director, Andree Froude, said online gambling fears were a "red herring".
She said pokes were the "most harmful form of gambling" and the review was an "acknowledgement by the Government the current regulations aren't' reducing the harm".
She said there was "no evidence to suggest people are going from pokies and going to gamble online".
Froude said existing policies on reducing the number of pokie machines were not hitting the right areas. These policies are known as "sinking lid", which means the total number of pokie machines in an area could decrease, but not increase sinking the "lid" of the total number of pokies.
"They [the number of pokies] don't go down in the areas where they need to go down. Many councils are recognising that sinking lid policies just don't go far enough," she said.
Froude said she would also like to see further regulation of the way the machines worked. She wanted no "jackpots", and no "losses disguised as wins", where machines dispense winnings that are less than the amount people gambled to begin with.

Scoring twice in the first half, the men's soccer team started out hot, and was able to hold off Houston Baptist by the score of 2-1, Friday at the main soccer field. The first came courtesy of midfielder Jonathan Colunga, the first of his collegiate career.
"I got a pass from Christian [Duarte], and the first thing I thought was to just hit it. I just used my toe and it went right into the net, so I was happy," said Colunga.
The deciding goal was scored late into the first half by midfielder David Velasquez. The win moved them into a tie for second in the WAC standings as of Friday.
CSUB (5-7-2, 3-2-1 WAC) was in control for the first half of the game. Even with the two goals, the `Runners had many other opportunities to capitalize off of sloppy play from Houston Baptist.
The first goal came early in the first half when Colunga found a hole in the struggling Huskie defense and scored to give the `Runners the early confidence boost.
The second goal came late in the first half. After a few missed scoring opportunities off of Houston Baptist miscues, Velasquez finally scored off a cross from forward Hugo Vinales.
"Hugo [Vinales] just ran with it, he [saw] me behind the defender, so he passed it to me, I just took one touch and just smacked it [in the goal]," said Velasquez.
"It was a team that we probably could have done a little bit more damage against. I thought we came out probably as well as we have this year in the first 40 minutes, and we should have put the game to bed," said Head Coach Simon Tobin. "I thought we purposely tried to come out with a little bit more vigor today, it's always good to go goals up, no matter what the time is."
Many `Runner opportunities were halted, thanks to 12 offsides calls, while others were either from missed opportunities or from mistakes of their own.
"We were playing good, we just need to finish the [opportunities] we had," said Velasquez.
In the second half, the `Runners seemed to play more conservatively, allowing the Huskies
more chances in the box. This eventually led to a HBU goal late in the second half.
"Because we're so young, we're still a little bit fragile, we're not putting teams away, and
giving them a little bit of hope to get back into the game. I just think it's our youth," said Tobin.
"When I mean fragile, just mentally, we're not ready to really go for the jugular and put teams away yet."
However, the `Runners were able to hold off the Huskies. HBU threatened with a couple of shots and corner kicks late in the game, but the `Runner defense was able to hold them off and win.
"A win is always the most important thing. I thought we played really well in the first half, some nice stuff, but in the end it became more of a grind out victory, but with a young team, you'll take it however they come," said Tobin.
On Sunday, the `Runners defeated Kansas City 2-0, in the first ever matchup of the two schools. With goals by Vinales and Colunga, the victory gives the `Runners sole possession of second place in the WAC.The `Runners won three out of four home games during their homestand, which helps their seeding for the upcoming WAC tournament which starts on Nov. 14. The `Runners will travel to Grand Canyon on Friday, Nov.1, and will go to Air Force on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Light the Beam trending on Twitter
Light the Beam!" is a slogan and rallying cry for the Sacramento Kings of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The phrase first appeared early in the Kings' 2022–23 season, when they would light a purple beam of light from their Golden 1 Center arena following a victory. The slogan became well-known among Kings supporters, especially as a result of the team's improved performance in comparison to previous campaigns.
The shout has been connected notably to the games of centre Domantas Sabonis and point guard De'Aaron Fox. The Kings have been referred to as the "Beam Team" during the season due to their proficiency using the beam.
Sacramento Kings light the beam
The Sacramento Kings have stamped their playoff ticket for 2023 on Wednesday with a victory of 120–80. That's right: The NBA's longest postseason drought, which lasted 16 long years, is now finally ended. Turn on light the beam.
It took a few extra days, but the Kings eventually defeated the depleted Portland Trail Blazers with a resounding victory to take charge of their own postseason fate. Chants of "Light the beam" erupted in Portland at the conclusion of the game.

Interestingly, the first obviously false one you mention is the one most people get wrong.
I am so old that I was able to visit Machu Picchu when only a handful of tourists were there...Spent the night at the small inn on the mountain and climbed Huaynu(?) Picchu the next morning...an awesome experience.
Feel sort of dumb to have missed that Fujimoro is in prison..When I was living in Lima, the first 'democratic' election in how long? was held and Belaunde was elected. The campaign consisted primarily of cars driving through the streets honking horns and waving banners.
How wonderful to have visited when only a few tourists were there! I walked the Inca Trail with a tour in 2000s and we got up early on the final day to see the sun rise over Machu Picchu before the bus and train crowds arrived. It got busier as the day went on but still wasn't too bad. Also had the pleasure of climbing Huayna Picchu like you. Amazing.
I never saw Cotahuasi Canyon but did visit the Colca Canyon which was deep enough for me. Walked down... then realised I had overestimated my fitness and had to pay to take a donkey back up. Which sounds relaxing but at every hairpin bend it carried on walking forward until it was looking down over the cliff edge I was readying myself to jump off if it decided to end it all.
I still occasionally think of Deathwish the Donkey.
However, I just learned that there is a highway from Manaus to the North as well, connecting to Venezuela. That road is open.
"The genera Lama and Vicugna are, with the two species of true camels, the sole existing representatives of a very distinct section of the Artiodactyla or even-toed ungulates, called Tylopoda, or "bump-footed", from the peculiar bumps on the soles of their feet." (Llama wiki example)
I get the point you're making, but I feel that anyone aware of the llama-camel link should side with true. They are easily closely related enough in the scheme of things for false being the answer to be quite unreasonable, and it would generate many more complaints. I feel that the complaints here are somewhat hypothetical?
Specifying "suborder" or "family" makes the question more specific, but not necessarily a better question, as specifics like that aren't general knowledge. If anything it looks more likely to be a trick question to me.
That llamas and camels are closely related is general knowledge I think, and if you've you heard that you should pick true.
Happy to discuss… :)
Sendero Luminoso is simply a terrorist organization. There was nothing "revolutionary" about it nor is it a political party. Their registration as such was never accepted in Peru because they were banned.
this comment was put in the spanish translation quiz by a dude from Perú, does it has a justification?
"The Shining Path, officially the Communist Party of Peru (Partido Comunista del Perú), is a far-left political party and guerrilla group in Peru." First line of Shining Path wiki page. A few lines later: "The Shining Path believed that by establishing a dictatorship of the proletariat, inducing a cultural revolution, and eventually sparking a world revolution, they could arrive at full communism."

UAAP: UST beats FEU again to end another forgettable season
MANILA, Philippines—University of Santo Tomas ended an underwhelming campaign on a winning note in the UAAP Season 86 men's basketball tournament on Saturday.
The Growling Tigers repeated over the Far Eastern University Tamaraws, 57-53, but not after blowing a 15-point lead and surviving a scare down the stretch.
"From the get-go, we were aggressive and we stayed composed throughout the game. In the endgame, of course, we knew they were going to make a comeback and I give credit to the players. The composure was there and they didn't lose hope," said UST coach Pido Jarencio in Filipino.
"Maybe they felt enough was enough. They just got tired of all the losing and that it's the right time to get our second win of the season."
UST set the tone early and looked well on its way to a blowout win after taking a 51-40 lead midway through the fourth quarter. But FEU refused to go down without a fight and made it a one-possession game, 56-53, after a Jorick Bautista triple with under a minute left.
UST guard Paul Manalang, who scored just two points and missed all of his seven field goal attempts, hit a free throw to set the final count with 16.9 ticks to go.
The Tigers, who wrapped up their season last in the standings at 2-12, beat the Tamaraws, 68-62, in their first round encounter last October 22. They also finished at the bottom of the ladder last season with only one win to show.
Christian Manaytay led UST with 12 points and nine rebounds while Migs Pangilinan had 10 points and five rebounds. The Tigers' main man Nic Cabañero didn't have his usual game with only eight points on 2-of-10 shooting.
LJ Gonzales was held to just four points in his final UAAP game. Bautista picked up the slack with a game-high 17 points for FEU, which also ended its campaign at 3-11.

The impact of a PEER funded research project "Cascading Seismic and Tsunami Loads for the Design of Open Wharves" is highlighted below. The project Principal Investigator (PI) is Andre R. Barbosa, Ph.D., P.E. (Portugal) School of Civil and Construction Engineering, Oregon State University. The Co-Principal Investigator is Claudia Reis, School of Civil and Construction Engineering, Oregon State University. The Research Team includes Jorge Romero Loyola, M.S., School of Civil and Construction Engineering, Oregon State University.

Research Impact
Evacuation preparedness, risk mitigation, and design recommendations are among the most effective measures to mitigate natural risk. The multi-hazard/risk characterization will enable the communication to stakeholders of critical and lifeline infrastructure of maritime transportation systems, and new gained insights will contribute to work by the PIs on the International Federation for Structural Concrete (Federacion Internacional du Beton - Fib) Working Group (WG) 2.13, which is focusing on the development of a tsunami engineering design guide, and to the World Association for Waterborne Transport Infrastructure (PIANC) MarCom WG 239, which is currently revising the PIANC port design guidelines. The outputs of this project will include design considerations for cascading earthquake and tsunami effects on the successive structural response, thus leading to performance criteria that can be used in the design of critical port infrastructure.
