Why This Year's Flu Season Could Be Worse Than Last Year'sFlu seasons can be difficult to predict, but there are already signs that the upcoming season may be especially tough.
Health experts who track outbreaks of the influenza virus around the world, a group of specialists organized by the World Health Organization (WHO) called the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System (GISRS) are reporting an increase in flu cases. In the southern hemisphere where the flu begins in May and ends in October, the flue season arrived early and struck hard. A particularly virulent flu strain, H3N2, has dominated. In the U.S., a 4 year old in California who had underlying health problems has died from the flu.
Each year, some strains of the influenza virus mutates, which is why a new flu vaccine is prepared every year. Significant mutations often cause pandemics because the immunity that we acquire over time from exposure and vaccinations becomes less effective. Because of mutations that can occur during the flu season, influenza vaccinations may not be as effective in many cases. However, it is still important to get vaccinated, especially for children and the elderly who are at greater risk of complications from the flu.
Protecting Your Family From the Flu
- Wash hands with soap and water or regularly use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer
- Limit contact with surfaces like doorknobs, faucets, phones, and keyboards and wash hands afterward.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Stay at least six feet away from people who appear ill.
- Keep your immune system healthy by getting plenty of rest, staying hydrated, and eating a healthy diet.
- Last but not least, get vaccinated!

Gill, playwright and theatre
"Il faut de l'audace, encore de l'audace, toujours de l'audace" (Danton)
"Paris is as full as an egg:' wrote Camille Desmoulins, bursting with excitement, "Versailles the same." It was 5 June 1789, nearly five years before the period covered by Danton's Death.
"The present Revolution", Robespierre declared soberly, "has shown us in a few days the greatest events that the history of man can offer." It was 23 July 1789. Not for the last time, it seemed to many that the Revolution had come and gone.
In the four preceding weeks the anticipation which had drawn the crowds had been amply fulfilled. On 17 June the Commons declared itself unilaterally a National Assembly - defying an attempt to shut it up, and out - by an oath in the King's indoor tennis court not to disperse until they had established a Constitution. On 14 July the Parisians stormed the Bastille. Three days later Louis XVI accepted a patriotic cockade in the Hotel de Ville in Paris. And on 23 July the Assembly refused his command to resume business, unless it was as representatives of the nation as a whole. People throughout France had asserted themselves.
In August the new Assembly began its work: feudalism was abolished, and the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen was declared.
In October the women of Paris, trailing the National Guard in their wake, marched on Versailles demanding bread, and induced the royal family to return with them to the capital to playa central role in government. "You have learnt no doubt of the great Revolution which has been accomplished:' Camille Desmoulins wrote on 8 October: "Consummatum est. The King, the Queen, the Dauphin are in Paris." The Assembly undertook, between then and April 1791, a major programme of reform, the reorganisation of France, within the framework of a constitutional monarchy.
The King, however, was not reconciled to this curtailment of his privileges and tried to escape abroad with his family; They did not get far. On 20 June 1791 the royal party were arrested on the road at Varennes and brought back to Paris under guard.
Now the "republican party" began to appear. "The struggle which was first between the Assembly and the Court, then between the constitutional deputies and the aristocrats, then between the constitutionals themselves, now began between the constitutionals and the republicans" (Mignet). On 17 July 1791 republican demonstrators were shot down by the National Guard on the Champs de Mars.
The King finally approved the new Constitution on 13 September, and the Assembly was dissolved for the elections. But the new Assembly was not content to consolidate the work of the old, and "the Revolution, which should now have finished, recommenced" (Mignet).
In February 1792 France's two most powerful neighbours, the monarchies of Austria and Prussia, with the secret connivance of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, formed an alliance with the intention of crushing the Revolution and restoring the King to absolute power. France declared war on 20 April.
On 10 August 1792, the people of Paris took matters back into their own hands and stormed the Tuileries, imprisoning the royal family. The monarchy was abolished, a republic declared, and Danton became Minister of Justice. "More than any other he had been involved on 10 August. He was a giant of a revolutionary. He condemned no means, so long as it served his end. ..Ardent, morally lax, he abandoned himself in turn to his passions and his party. He was formidable in politics when it was a question of achieving his aims, nonchalant once they were his. This powerful demagogue was a mixture of vice and the opposite ... A revolution in his eyes was a game, where the winner, if he had need of it, took the life of the loser. For him the well-being of his country was above law, above humanity, which explains his outrages after 10 August and his return to moderation when he believed the republic secure" (Mignet).
Beside Danton stood Robespierre, "whose talents were average and whose character was vain ... who owed it to his inferiority that he came forward among the last, which is always a great advantage in a revolution" (Mignet). It was his ambition, supported by the extreme Jacobin party which he headed, to oust the moderate Girondins from their position of power in the Assembly, and to supplant Danton.
The King was guillotined on 21 January 1793. On 31 May the Girondins were arrested. Unrest followed, countered with measures of increasing severity by the Jacobin government. Hundreds went to their deaths in the "Terror." The Girondins were executed on 31 October 1793 and this cast a long shadow, severing personal and political ties. Danton, sickened, retreated from politics, but returned in December in time to avert an attack on him, at the Jacobins Club, as a "moderate". Robespierre seemed to support him, then persuaded him to join the government in defeating the extreme left Hébertists.
The next day, Camille Desmoulins launched his paper, Le Vieux Cordeliel, under the banner Live Free Or Die. He deviated from the line agreed with Robespierre, supported Philippeau's appeal for mercy to the government's opponents, and proposed a "Committee of Clemency:"
Jacques Hebert and his followers were guillotined on 24 March 1794, exposing Danton's followers as the last group who could offer opposition to the government.
Danton, detached, relaxed, was still visibly the great hero of the Revolution. He had told Frenchmen "Il faut de l'audace, encore de l'audace, toujours de l'audace" (You must dare, dare, and dare again). But on 5 April 1794, he and his friends "perished, the latest and last defenders of humanity and moderation; the last men to wish for peace between the victors of the Revolution and to show pity for those they had conquered. All perished, and still the men in power had as many victims to strike down as they had enemies. A man stopped in this bloody adventure only when he was killed himself." (Mignet).

Tortworth Court Hotel, Tortworth, Wotton-under-Edge, South Gloucestershire
You might never be able
to stay in the National Trusts
massive Victorian mansion
Tyntesfield, which is currently
undergoing the
costliest restoration
programme ever. But...
built fifty years later but in nearly the same scale and style, it does give you that pleasurable option. Restored at a cost of Ł20m following a devastating fire, it has been given a new lease of life as a comfortable and characterful hotel with 190 bedrooms, some with four posters and other interesting touches.
There are some splendid public rooms and features the large dining room (formerly the library) is straight out of
Harry Potter
; and the hall and stairway soars several stories with galleries around.
The stylish Orangery doesn't quite make it but only because it lacks the essential palms and ferns, whilst the tower's 'Room at the Top', with its commanding panoramic views, is a peaceful haven. A little note of apology explains that service might not be so quick due to its high elevation a good touch. That noted, despite the hotel being full, service was always prompt.
All the other elements you would expect of a large well-equipped hotel are there: gym, spa, sauna and pool, plus lots of attractive add-on packages of fruit and wine, etc. Wi-Fi is free but broadband is Ł15 per hour Ouch! A small gripe but, taken overall, Tortworth Court has that essential element of 'good value for the money'.
The hotel, set in glorious countryside and gardens, and together with the several spectacular 'time capsule' rooms and a marquee for civil ceremonies, is a popular venue for weddings. It is additionally pleasing that the renowned arboretum with over 300 specimen trees is still being maintained and added to by three highly talented gardeners.
Naturally an hotel of this calibre also has an interesting programme of events. When we stayed, falconer Ray Prior was captivating and involving his audience (young and old) with both eagles and owls. Even if his feathered friends hold no interest for you, his humorous banter is highly entertaining.
Tortworth Court is situated near the Severn and even nearer to the Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust about halfway between Bristol and Gloucester the M5 motorway is just a couple of minutes away. Naturally the countryside is quintessentially English with mature hedgerow trees, bijoux villages and a few grand houses. Nearby, there is Westonbirt where Princess Diana went to school and where scenes from Yes, him again
Harry Potter
were filmed. We were even able to visit 'the house', which is still a school, as there was an excellent regular art and antiques fair taking place.
So, which way... Gloucester or Bristol? It has to be both as they are equally attractive whilst being so different. The Gloucester docks are being sympathetically restored and regenerated. It would be all too easy to mirror the traditional styles, so it was refreshing to see that not only is the Viking Restaurant unapologetically modern but that it fits wonderfully within its setting. The Mariners Chapel is a gem; small and simple but such a haven amongst the warehouse goliaths towering above it.
The nearby cathedral is a rich storehouse of history brought alive by Eric, our guide. His infectious enthusiasm even after 17 years of guiding wraps you into his colourful commentary. Altogether Gloucester may be small but it buzzes, and you can see there is so much more still to see on another visit.
The scale of Bristol is very different so it is a question here as to what one should leave out. Certainly not the SS Great Britain; brilliantly presented, she epitomises the dominance of Britain's position at the forefront of international trade when she was plying the world's oceans at a great rate of knots.
A must for everyone, for its gardens, research programmes and creatures, is the zoo mostly smaller breeds. View the sea lions underwater as they play, admire the agility of Colin the lemur with his keepers during a great display on the outdoor stage, feed nectar to the shrieking Lorikeets and smile when you see the most aloof creature imaginable a colourful Victoria Crowned pigeon with a very fine tiara of a crest. Thinking of colour, plan your visit to catch the Balloon Fiesta that is a riot of colour as a huge cloud of balloons drifts across the sky.

Football365's season predictions 2016/17
The only thing better than us looking stupid is you laughing at us looking stupid. With that in mind, it's our annual season predictions. West Ham to win the title, you say? Storey asked the questions, for those of you who care…
The traditional starter: Who will win the league?
Sarah Winterburn: Chelsea. A group of largely world-class players under an impressive manager, away from the circus in Manchester.
Daniel Storey: Manchester United. I thought City for so long, but United have made a bigger 'statement' this summer than any other club in the world. They did only finish five points or fewer behind their typical title rivals last season.
Matt Stead: Manchester City. With a better manager it would have been theirs to lose last season. And there are few better managers than the one they have now.
John Nicholson: I am, at heart, a romantic and I refuse to buy into the idea that the most money spent will always win. I want to believe that's old-fashioned, now that Leicester City has happened. So this season I'm going with a ridiculous outside bet of West Ham United to win the league. It seems insane, but so did Leicester. They've got Mr D Payet, and a great manager. No-one knows anything. Football is chaos. It could happen.
Nick Miller: Manchester City. They badly underachieved last season and with the new lot, and Guardiola in charge, I reckon they'll do it.
Rest of the top four, in order please.
SW: Man United, Man City and then Arsenal.
DS: Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea. Just enough for Arsene Wenger to get a new deal.
MS: Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal.
JN: Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool.
NM: Manchester United, Tottenham, Liverpool. This is the year that Arsenal drop out (possibly) and I've got a sneaky suspicion that Conte could be rubbish at Chelsea. Although I'm not sure quite why.
Which three clubs are going down, down, down, down, down, down, down (wooh!)?
SW: Hull are going down with about 18 points, Burnley with 35 and then Watford on the final day. It's very difficult to end a season badly and then recover.
DS: Hull, Burnley and Watford.
MS: Swansea, Watford and Hull.
JN: Hull City – haven't they been relegated already? Swansea City. Burnley – expect a season-long exercise in the media as to why this makes Sean Dyche brilliant.
NM: Hull, Burnley and Swansea. The first two are obvious, having achieved the impressive feat of being weaker than they were in the Championship last season, while I think Swansea have been riding their luck for a season or two.
And the most difficult of all, where will Leicester finish?
SW: Yikes. Going for ninth.
DS: God, who set these questions? Oh, I see. Eleventh.
MS: Just behind Tottenham and Liverpool in seventh.
JN: Sixth. This whole 'they've been found out' business is obviously silly, and only a footballer could postulate the idea that it might have taken a season of in-depth study to discover what on earth was going on with the fast lad up front and meat mountains at the back. I still think their tactics will work and work well. It's hard to play against.
NM: The perfect season would be for them to win the Champions League and get relegated, but you can't have everything. 10th.
Which club will do surprisingly lovely things?
SW: I think Middlesbrough will be very, very comfortable. And I have an inkling that Everton could break up what looks on paper like a top six.
DS: I almost picked Liverpool for a top-four place, so have to go them. No European football will surely help.
MS: Inspired by Phil Jagielka, Steven Pienaar, Marouane Fellaini, Leon Osman and Tony Hibbert, David Moyes' Everton tribute act at Sunderland will finish comfortably mid-table. Is that surprisingly lovely? Who knows.
JN: Given I'm tipping West Ham, I think we'll see a lovely season-long parade of well-spanked free kicks. Middlesbrough, of course, is always the loveliest of things but I see us doing well this season playing with a mixture of flair and directness. We definitely had the best transfer window in terms of value for money.
NM: Do Liverpool count? Think they will be pretty good now Klopp has the right players, and I think Divock Origi will have a good season.
Top scorer?
DS: *Prepares for incoming banter* Well, you can get 12/1 on Romelu Lukaku, with one bookmaker offering six places. That's buying money.
MS: Wayne Rooney. No, wait. Sergio Aguero. Yeah, him.
JN: It has to be Zlatan, doesn't it? He never has an anonymous season and given the players around him, as long as you-know-who is quickly dispensed with, he shouldn't be short of ammunition.
NM: Sergio Aguero, assuming he stays fit. Obviously.
Who will be the best signing?
SW: Henrikh Mkhitaryan will look like a bargain but N'Golo Kante will help win Chelsea the league. I also think Alvaro Negredo will get 15 goals for Boro.
DS: Always get excited by this question. I think Viktor Fischer could be good at 'Boro, and Nathan Redmond at Southampton too. But the one I'm looking forward to watching is Henrikh Mkhitaryan. He can make this kitty purr.
MS: One Merseyside boy each: Idrissa Gueye or Joel Matip. I also think Southampton have had an excellent low-key summer in terms of additions.
JN: Best is a hard concept to quantify, but I'm opting for Alvaro Negredo. He will spearhead Middlesbrough's challenge for a European place and will be our top scorer since the glories days of Mark Viduka, but will take much less feeding.
NM: N'Golo Kante should be great at Chelsea, and Pogba will do some remarkable things but we'll all be weighed down by the bullsh*t about whether he's worth the money. I think the most interesting one might be Andros Townsend: I've always thought he's 10% good, 90% useless, but despite being around for ages this is the first season he'll (probably) be a first-choice starter from the start of the season. His chance to prove me wrong, which will obviously be a big motivating factor for him.
And which big-money buy will stink the place out?
SW: Does Nampalys Mendy count as a big signing? Elsewhere, John Stones will not magically be brilliant because he is being coached by Pep Guardiola.
DS: Granit Xhaka as the third most expensive central midfielder ever just doesn't sit right, sorry. Bring on the Arsenal hate.
MS: Who will be brave/stupid enough to say Paul Pogba? Let's go for Marten de Roon, based on the fact I keep forgetting he is a thing, and Yannick Bolasie on the basis of £30m.
JN: It's fairly obvious that Paul Pogba's fee will give everyone a chance to say every performance that doesn't include two goals, two assists and escaping from a straitjacket whilst being dangled upside down in a tank of water, is poor value for money. But Sadio Mane will be a big hit or a big miss and I'm going with the latter.
NM: You worry about Manchester City spending £20-odd million on an injured Ilkay Gundogan. I'm also not having Michy Batshuayi as a £33million player, if things like transfer fees matter in the slightest anymore.
Who will be this season's Marcus Rashford, the kid who comes out of nowhere (nobody said this would be easy)?
SW: Bloody hell. You don't want much do you? Tom Davies at Everton. Never seen him play but he has good hair.
DS: It looks like Ola Aina might start the season for Chelsea, which puts him above all their other kids. Also, Steve Cook will have been called up by England by the end of the season. He's only 24, so a mere child to me.
MS: Sake. Erm, Tosin Adarabioyo? Pep will probably turn him into a striker, mind.
JN: Given Ronnie Koeman's ability to spot and develop a player, the 19-year-old Everton defender Mason Holgate looks like just the sort of player he'd bring the best out of and be unafraid to play regularly, now that John Stones has taken his agricultural haircut and disco-dancing defending to City. See also: Reece Oxford at West Ham United.
NM: Can I slightly change the premise of the question? I can? Cool. It's not 'from nowhere', but one of the things Southampton fans seemed miffed about under Ronald Koeman was that he didn't use any of their kids, so hopefully that will change under Puel and if it does, I reckon James Ward-Prowse will have a breakthrough season.
First manager to leave their job (not necessarily sacked)?
SW: Tony Pulis will walk unless West Brom spend.
DS: Francesco Guidolin, perhaps. Although I think Walter Mazzarri could go south pretty quickly at Watford.
MS: Following in the quite brilliant footsteps of Tim Sherwood and Dick Advocaat, Francesco Guidolin will prove beyond doubt that inexperienced mid-season appointments at relegation-threatened clubs should not necessarily be rewarded with a full campaign.
JN: Chunky Pards has a 14-game run without winning most seasons, so he's got to be likely candidate for whacking if this season's barren spell happens early enough. Also have a weird feeling that David Moyes won't do very well at all, and that we'll all feel really sorry for him, the way we feel sorry for a dog that's waiting in the rain to be let into its house.
NM: Tony Pulis. I can't see West Brom's new owners standing for that turgid sh*te for long.
Finally, who would you most like to see fail, and why?
SW: Jose, Jose and Jose. Pretty please.
DS: I love Arsenal, but feel like Arsene Wenger needs to be taught a lesson for this transfer market inertia.
MS: Zlatan. Mourinho, too. God, isn't it lovely to hate Manchester United again?
JN: Both Manchester clubs and for the same reason. A cult of personality mixed with lavishly spent, infinite money is a very unattractive combination. The degree of media fawning over both managers is somewhere between nauseating and insane. And, as I've said before, I want the "spend big, win big" culture to be corrupted. Quite why I don't feel this way about Liverpool, I don't know.
NM: Jose Mourinho. Although I'd also be delighted to see him succeed. Confusing old world, football.

Let's guess… Everyone's talking about implementing an efficient content creation process, yet you feel like you're lagging behind.
You may have turned your hand to the creation process in the past, but low engagement has you wondering where you're going wrong.
Conflicting content creation advice and outdated marketing tips leave you unsure how to increase awareness, engagement, and ultimately, conversions.
Here's the thing. In 2022, successful content should follow a coherent, logical, and relevant topic-focused creation process. Rushing out any old digital content won't work.
While this sounds tedious, Wordable will allow you to export from Google Docs to WordPress seamlessly. It will not only clean and properly format your HTML, but also compress images, open links in a new tab, automatically set featured images, or create a table of contents, and lots more.
This guide is here to give you a succinct rundown of the creation process you should be following. This will maximize your content marketing potential and better reach your audience in 2022.
Ready to start executing a content creation process in just 8 steps? Let's begin.
Still copying content into WordPress?
You're doing it wrong… say goodbye forever to:
- ❌ Cleaning HTML, removing span tags, line breaks, etc.
- ❌ Creating your Table of Contents anchor ID links for all headers by hand,
- ❌ Resizing & compressing images one-by-one before uploading back into your content,
- ❌ Optimizing images with descriptive file names & alt text attributes,
- ❌ Manually pasting target="_blank" and/or "nofollow" attributes to every single link
Table of Contents
Publish Google Docs to your blog in 1-click
- ✅ Export in seconds (not hours)
- ✅ Less VAs, interns, employees
- ✅ Save 6-100+ hours/week
Step 1: Establish Your Brand Value Using Existing Clients
With nearly 60% of marketers claiming that content nurtures new customers, it seems sensible to find the value that you create as a brand.
To understand your brand value, you need to ascertain what customer problems you solve, how you solve them, and for who.
The best way to do this is to look at your existing customer base.
Ask yourself, why do customers choose you?
By understanding these factors, you can better target your marketing content to pinpoint lookalike audiences.
Lookalike audiences are target sectors that mimic our best buyers.
The 20:60:20 rule declares that we want to clone our top 20% of customers, automate the middle 60%, and ditch the bottom 20%.
If you know the problems you solve for whom and how, you can better identify who you should be gearing your content toward and which content type each audience is interested in consuming.
These avatars, created from existing customer traits, are often known as 'buyer personas'.
These buyer personas help you to personify a character and imagine how you'd talk to them.
If you're struggling to understand how to create a buyer persona, try these steps:
- Consider the demographics of your best buyer
- Analyze your bestsellers and who buys these products
- Monitor your social media and identify trending topics for these potential customer personas
- Put out digital marketing surveys, polls, or feedback campaigns to ask customers their preferences
- Ask for testimonials (these are useful for user-generated content production)
- Use this free buyer persona template.
Step 2: Know Where and When Your Readers Consume Content
Knowing your customers' day-to-day online and social media habits will equip you with a content idea map of where and when to find your target audience.
- Take a content audit and ask yourself the following questions:
- On which marketing platforms are my top buyers consuming content?
- At what times are my key customers looking at content?
- Can I identify the content type most popular with my customers?
- Which of my existing content is most popular, where is this existing content present and what content format is this existing content?
You'll find that customer behavior varies depending on the social media platform or digital marketing channel on which they receive content.
While customers open their emails most on Tuesdays at 1pm, Facebook posts are most often viewed at 11am and between 1 and 2pm.
Use customer patterns to guide the narrative and structure of your content creation process.
Step 3: Create Measurable Goals for Each Platform
Since marketers that set goals are a whopping 376% more likely to report their campaigns as successful, there's huge value SMART goals for your marketing team.
'SMART' stands for specific, measurable, assignable, realistic, and time-bound.
This means that your SMART goals need to be clear and attainable with the resources and manpower you have, measured over a specific time period.
By outlining specific, measurable goals, you can analyze which content tactics are working well, where they're working, and for whom.
Not only does this reduce wasted time and resources on ineffective content production, but it also helps you reach your goals. 70% of marketers who use stringent organizational goal-setting methods reach their workflow targets every time.
How to Set SMART Goals
When you create measurable content goals, you need key performance indicators that match with your buyer personas and the marketing platforms they use.
Key performance indicators (KPIs) measure the performance and success of each digital content campaign.
- Common content-related KPIs include:
- Number of Facebook followers
- Number of email subscribers
- Number of likes on Instagram
- Bounce rate from a blog post
The idea of a SMART goal is to address a single KPI at any one time, over a dedicated time.
Let's use an example to illustrate this.
Imagine that you have an online gardening supply store…
Your best client avatar is the hipster, farmer's market, urban gardening type.
You call this persona 'Henry'.
Henry mostly buys organic heritage vegetable seeds, which are the priciest product on your website.
He buys these seeds exclusively through promotional campaigns sent out in your email newsletter.
In fact, Henry buys more heritage seeds than any other product and than any other persona.
Analysis of this persona suggests two main aims: nurture and convert existing leads like Henry, and entice new clients that are clones of Henry's buying process.
This indicates two specific SMART goals:
- In six months time, I'll be converting at least 10 email subscribers per week to paying heritage seed customers.
- In six months time, I'll have 200 new subscribers signing up per month.
Here are a few more examples of measurable goals:
- Increase lead generation via targeted SEO landing pages by 5% in three months.
- Grow your blog traffic on a particular topic focus by 30% in six months
- Convert 15% more sales through each social media influencer over the next year
- Double up on referrals through LinkedIn campaigns in the next 12 months
- Move your written content to Google's front page on certain search terms within the next six months.
- Reduce email unsubscribe rate by 10% in the next two weeks
Many tools like MailChimp, Clickfunnels, Facebook Pages, etc have back-end analytics dashboards to measure and provide feedback.
Step 4: Research Content Ideas
While you may think that giving your expert opinion is the way to win over the crowd, this isn't always the case. Content authority comes from solving customer problems not complex wording.
Where a SEO-driven opinion content piece may have worked in the era of black-hat marketing, nowadays you need to know what your target audience wants.
Often dubbed 'education-based content', you should be researching the particular issues that are niche to your audience, and solving them for free with your content marketing strategy.
This will boost your E-A-T rating with Google.
Your E-A-T rating stands for Expertise, authority, and trust.
By establishing your expertise with an education-based content strategy that solves real-world problems, your brand authority becomes widely recognized and consumers begin to trust you.
The best way to go about this is to start with the problem and work backward.
Research your customers' bottlenecks and deliver a pain-point-driven SEO strategy.
Previously marketers would research a bunch of keywords, organize them into the necessary volumes, and then try to plan a content strategy around these words.
A pain-point-driven SEO strategy invites you to:
- Understand your customers' preference and desires first
- Find out your customer problems
- Strategize a topic-focused content strategy that solves those problems
- Find the keywords to optimize this content
Do a SERP Analysis
If you're trying to find out what problems your audience has, first try a Search Engine Results Page (SERP) analysis.
Taking the example of your garden supply store, when you do a SERP analysis on gardening tools, it's clear that customers are having trouble choosing between brands.
It's a good idea to produce guides to the various gardening tool brands you offer and their benefits and drawbacks.
Find Out What People Are Asking
Find out what the public are asking their search engine about your particular niche, with content creation tools like Answer the Public that show popular questions being plugged into Google in real-time.
A great education-based content campaign to kick off your topic-focused content marketing strategy is to answer these popular questions.
Find influencers in your niche and check their content and comment section.
Try to offer more answers, better sources, and more up-to-date data than competing blog posts.
Try Keyword Analysis Tools
Research semantically-related keywords associated with your topic.
Have your marketing manager use tools like Keywordtool.io to find popular phrases and words that can be used to optimize your content and steer your campaign topics.
Use SEO Title Generator Tools
Lastly, polish off the final idea with a click-worthy SEO-optimized title. Tools like SEOPressor's Title Generator off super helpful title suggestions that improve click-rates.
Step 5: Schedule on Your Editorial Calendar
The digital content creation process not only refers to how you research, create, and distribute one content piece — it refers to your whole yearly content calendar.
For the purpose of continuity, campaigns should run on a fluid annual content calendar to demonstrate consistency — keeping you at the top of Google's rankings.
If you are not the only one in charge of content (in case you work in a team), use a project management tool to manage your team (you'll find some examples here). This way, you're making sure that everything is working smoothly, and you can be notified if team members encountered issues or have questions.
A content calendar will help you organize your digital content creation, production, and distribution process and build regular brand awareness with each buyer persona.
All without bombarding your audience.
Take into account societal trends and seasonal influences to generate relevant, responsive content.
Since customers need around eight touch points before they convert or tail off, schedule your content calendar to reflect this.
Keep a frequent cadence over multiple channels — but don't overload your audience.
If you're struggling to create your own content creation calendar, use this free template.
Step 6: Produce High-quality Educational Content
The idea of your overall content marketing strategy is to create a topic-focused library of resources that solves niche problems.
Educational value like this establishes expertise and authority, fostering consumer trust. However, to ensure your content is engaging, you'll need a true multimedia experience.
- Landing pages
- Email campaigns
- Social media campaigns
- Blogs and other written content
- Use cases
- User-generated content
- Live video streams
- Educational videos
- Podcasts
- Voice-activated content
- Augmented reality and virtual reality
- Graphic design templates, illustrations, and other visual content
- Photo-rich content
Remember that each content piece, whether written, audio, or video, should be supported with a choir of complementary content to promote these campaigns across multiple platforms.
Take B2B technical copywriting firm, Espirian. Founder, John Espirian, appears on mountains of podcasts. A catalog of SEO-driven written content, visual content, and social media posts support each.
Alternatively, check out Venngage who turned blog posts into infographics, resulting in a 400% boost in web traffic, or even take a look at this SEO expert from London. Where in-depth content provides great support to the core services.
Repurpose your written content into other formats (and vice versa) to squeeze more traffic from your content creation efforts.
Consider Hiring a Content Creator
While that may be cost-effective to wear many marketing hats to begin with, it's wise to consider hiring affordable marketing professionals as you scale.
A 2018 survey showed that firms that could afford editors report 'strong results' with their content campaigns, showing the importance of hiring an expert to refine your content creation process.
The content creation process may involve hiring:
- Content strategists
- Content writers and freelancers
- Content writing editors
- Graphic designers
- Video designers
- Video editors
- Podcast writers
- Audio editors

- WordHippo – Top online thesaurus
- Hemingway – Color-coded readability enhancing platform
- Duplichecker Plagiarism checking software
Step 7: Execute and Automate Your Content
Continuity is key to success.
To really optimize your content visibility, post regularly using content automation software.
In the marketing industry, a quarter of marketers are focusing their automation efforts toward automating content delivery.
This is because content automation tools save an outrageous amount of time.
Try these:

Step 8: Create Data-driven Content
As your content campaign unfolds, you can see your audience's response.
Use the backend analytics of your website, blogging software, and social media platforms to harvest data on how well you met your predetermined SMART goals.
From here, you can tweak future campaigns to reflect customer behaviors and preferences highlighted by your content marketing metrics.
Understand that your content creation process works by building on top of itself.
You won't see results immediately, but you should start to see the tide turn within a few months.
In fact, research shows that of the best ranking content, 88% is over a year old. So be patient and keep working at it!
8 Steps to Launch…
The content creation process doesn't have to be difficult.
With careful strategic planning and SMART goal-setting, you develop a content campaign post that educates, engages, and entertains your target audiences while meeting KPIs.
Remember that the key lies in creating value by solving customer problems with multimedia educational content across multiple platforms.
Don't forget to use a content calendar to strategize, content automation tools to schedule your posts, and back-end analytics to improve your future content.

Frogmarch watch continues. Even as Anonymous has desperately tried to enlist unions into its anti-Paypal Jihad, Paypal funnels information to law enforcement to help catch the terrorists. I don's use that word lightly, either. But when the gang is attempting to intimidate law enforcement, possibly as an answer to another high-profile arrest, I believe Anonymous and its subsidiaries like Lulzsec and Antisec have leapt far over the line between "online terrorist" and just plan "terrorist."

A snowblower tire is classified as a small-engine tire. It is in the same family as riding lawn mowers, utility carts and smaller recreational vehicles, like ATVs. All of these smaller tires are measured in the same way. Each of these tires has a specific size that is printed on the sidewall of the tire. Inner tubes are specifically made that fit those particular measurements. However, if the sidewall has been damaged or compromised so that the tire size numbers no longer exist, you can manually measure the tire to fit it with the correct inner tube.
Step 1
Measure the height of the tire from the top tread to the bottom tread.
Video of the Day
Step 2
Measure the width of the tire across the top tread.
Step 3
Measure the rim size from rim to rim.
Step 4
Place the numbers in order. For example, a 13-inch tire height with a 5-inch width that sits on a 6-inch rim will be written as "13 x 5 x 6" or "13/5 x 6." In some cases, tire measurements are recorded in millimeters. In that case, the tire size will be written as, "330 x 127- 6." The last number will always be recorded in inches, but depending on the brand of inner tube, both the height and width may be recorded in millimeters.
Step 5
Take these measurements to any hardware store or lawn and garden shop. It will have an inner tube that will fit your needs.

Hawaiians have a reputation for delivering stellar customer service.
They seem to always maintain a genuinely warm and friendly manner when dealing with their clients, making it virtually impossible to feel dissatisfied even after experiencing some sort of service failure.
The secret may be that they have a sunny outlook on life that comes from living in a tropical paradise. After all, there's no question that your environment in both work and personal lives impacts health, personality and attitude.
However, this is only part of the reason.
In business, as well as in their private lives, Hawaiians adhere to something we might call the aloha principle. The aloha principle is a central part of the Hawaiian culture and everyday life, so it naturally extends to dealing with customers. It's a complete philosophy for interacting with each other and the guiding principle behind all of their customer service interactions.
Let's see what the aloha principle entails and how you can use it to provide stellar customer service.
Components of the aloha principle
The aloha principle consists of five ideas that correlate to each of the word's five letters:
Ala: Be aware
The first letter in the word aloha stands for ala, which suggests the state of being watchful and alert. The first principle in customer service, upon which everything else rests, is always remaining alert to your customers' desires, needs and expectations.
Only when you have an extensive understanding of your customers can you begin to shape a process of customer service delivery that will be customer-centric in the real sense of the word. And when customers recognize that their needs take priority, not the company agenda, you will be able to direct the flow of interactions towards positive resolutions.
Lokahi: Work in harmony
The second letter in the word aloha refers to lokahi, which means working in a unified, harmonious effort. For customer service to be effective, it's crucial that all the staff in the company think and function as a team, not a collection of individuals who are disconnected in their approaches to resolving customer issues. Customer satisfaction requires a coordinated effort to be consistently effective.
In other words, all employees, from recent hires to managers, need to know how healthy customer dialogues are conducted, and understand that mutual help and support best ensure that customer issues are resolved smoothly. This is also aligned with the perceptions of most customers that they are not dealing with independent agents, but a single corporate entity.
Oiaio: Be truthful and honest
The next letter in aloha stands for oiaio, or the combined virtues of honesty and truthfulness. Fair and truthful treatment naturally increases customer satisfaction and makes customers more open to building a strong relationship with your business.
Establishing a relationship instilled with trust also plays an important part in gaining and maintaining customer loyalty. While it is virtually impossible to retain customers who don't have confidence in your company, loyal customers will often become brand advocates who share their positive experiences among friends and family. The trust you've built will then act as a free marketing tool that enhances the overall perception of your brand.
Haahaa: Be humble and modest
Haahaa corresponds to the fourth letter in the word aloha, and indicates the ideals of humble and modest behavior. Humility is essential in showing genuine interest and empathy for customers' predicaments, as well as building solid relationships that increase the reputation of your business.
When customer service representatives are genuinely modest and humble, they are more likely to speak naturally, listen better, and work harder to resolve customer inquiries. Nobody likes to deal with self-involved staff that demonstrates arrogance or false compassion. Customers expect the person they interact with to have enough modesty to respect their time and value them as both purchasers and individuals.'Fair and truthful treatment naturally increases customer satisfaction' - @natalies1014Click To Tweet
Ahonui: Be patient and persistent
The final letter of the word aloha stands for ahonui, which means patience and persistence. These two qualities are extremely important in customer service.
Responding to emotionally charged customers with patience and perseverance helps them to become calmer. This is important for achieving a productive dialogue. On the flip side, having a combative or resentful attitude only guarantees that customers won't make another purchase from you.
What's more, confused, frustrated and angry customers are likely to spread the word about their unpleasant experiences and thus cause businesses even more damage. The best way to deal with these situations is to be patient and willing to stick with the customer until the matter is resolved.
The aloha principle summarizes the qualities of being alert, working as a team, exhibiting patience and humility, and being honest, transparent and persistent.
Even though it originated in Hawaii, this principle is universal enough to be used by any company around the world who would like to improve their customer service procedures. Making interactions with customers more positive and productive is a great way to improve brand image and gain advantage over the competition.

I'm starting to think that we need to have people pass a basic current events test to vote now. It would work better than ID. Jimmy Kimmel takes to Hollywood Boulevard to ask people if they prefer Obamacare or the Affordable Care Act. (approx. 3.5 minutes)
The flip side here is that this serves as proof of both the polarized way we get information AND the poor messaging from the Obama Administration on the ACA. Or Obamacare. Whichever you prefer.

Relationship Problems
Relationship Solutions Center wants to help you find solutions for unfulfilling relationships and managing toxic relationships. We'll help you build the self-esteem and confidence required to move forward in a healthy manner.
Anxiety Disorders
There are several anxiety disorders including panic disorders, generalized anxiety, social phobia and PTSD. They all share the feature of excessive fear and anxiety and related behavioral disturbances. What exactly does that mean?
We have found that depression is often the most misunderstood mental health condition. There is a common misperception that depression is similar to the sadness everyone will occasionally experience in response to life events.
Collaborative Divorce
An interest based negotiation, which empowers individuals and couples to decide what their goals are, set priorities and create shared solutions that consider the interests and needs of both clients.
ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder)
Prior to 1987, the terminology for ADHD was ADD with or without hyperactivity. Currently our diagnostic manual designates three types of ADHD – predominantly Inattentive, predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive, and Combined. In our experience, many people incorrectly continue to use the term ADD.
Alternative sexuality might mean individuals in the GLBT community, those who identify as non-binary, non-monogamous (e.g., polyamorous and/or open relationships), as well as the those in the kink or BDSM community.

Daily in the Word: a ministry of Lancaster Baptist Church
by Dr. Paul Chappell
"But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold."
Job 23:10
A missionary couple once brought some African pastors to the Unites States for a big meeting. During their free time, these pastors wanted to go shopping. Even though they were in a small town, the missionary knew there was a chance one of them might have some difficulty finding their way around or get lost. So the missionary gave each pastor his phone number in case of an emergency. In less than an hour the missionary's phone rang and one of the pastors said, "I am lost."
The missionary replied, "Lay the phone down, go to the street corner, find out the names of the two streets, and come back and tell me." In a few minutes the African pastor returned and reported, "I am at the corner of 'Walk' and 'Don't Walk.'"
The trials of life sometimes make us feel lost and unstable—we feel directionless and don't know which way to turn. Sometimes it even seems that there are no good options. But God often allows trials in our lives so we will lean on Him and experience stability through His strength.
The worst thing that could happen to us would be not to have any difficulties—we'd never know our need of the Lord. God allows enough difficulty to bring us to Him, but then, God gives us enough grace to meet those difficulties—every day.
Are you struggling in a trial? Perhaps a trial you are facing is making you feel unsure and unstable. God will give sufficient grace for every difficulty you face. Each day He gives us enough difficulty to draw us to Him, and then, God gives us enough grace to live that day as we ought. Rely on the strength of God, trust His love and goodness, and experience His marvelous grace.
God can use the trials of life to give you stability if you will rely on His strength.
Old Testament Reading: Numbers 23-25
New Testament Reading: Mark 7:14-37
1 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven oxen and seven rams. 2 And Balak did as Balaam had spoken; and Balak and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. 3 And Balaam said unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt offering, and I will go: peradventure the LORD will come to meet me: and whatsoever he sheweth me I will tell thee. And he went to an high place. 4 And God met Balaam: and he said unto him, I have prepared seven altars, and I have offered upon every altar a bullock and a ram. 5 And the LORD put a word in Balaam's mouth, and said, Return unto Balak, and thus thou shalt speak. 6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he stood by his burnt sacrifice, he, and all the princes of Moab. 7 And he took up his parable, and said, Balak the king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse me Jacob, and come, defy Israel. 8 How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied? 9 For from the top of the rocks I see him, and from the hills I behold him: lo, the people shall dwell alone, and shall not be reckoned among the nations. 10 Who can count the dust of Jacob, and the number of the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his! 11 And Balak said unto Balaam, What hast thou done unto me? I took thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast blessed them altogether. 12 And he answered and said, Must I not take heed to speak that which the LORD hath put in my mouth?
13 And Balak said unto him, Come, I pray thee, with me unto another place, from whence thou mayest see them: thou shalt see but the utmost part of them, and shalt not see them all: and curse me them from thence. 14 And he brought him into the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar. 15 And he said unto Balak, Stand here by thy burnt offering, while I meet the LORD yonder. 16 And the LORD met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Go again unto Balak, and say thus. 17 And when he came to him, behold, he stood by his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. And Balak said unto him, What hath the LORD spoken? 18 And he took up his parable, and said, Rise up, Balak, and hear; hearken unto me, thou son of Zippor: 19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? 20 Behold, I have received commandment to bless: and he hath blessed; and I cannot reverse it. 21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel: the LORD his God is with him, and the shout of a king is among them. 22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn. 23 Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel: according to this time it shall be said of Jacob and of Israel, What hath God wrought! 24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great lion, and lift up himself as a young lion: he shall not lie down until he eat of the prey, and drink the blood of the slain. 25 And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 26 But Balaam answered and said unto Balak, Told not I thee, saying, All that the LORD speaketh, that I must do? 27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I pray thee, I will bring thee unto another place; peradventure it will please God that thou mayest curse me them from thence. 28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top of Peor, that looketh toward Jeshimon. 29 And Balaam said unto Balak, Build me here seven altars, and prepare me here seven bullocks and seven rams. 30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and offered a bullock and a ram on every altar.
1 And when Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he went not, as at other times, to seek for enchantments, but he set his face toward the wilderness. 2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw Israel abiding in his tents according to their tribes; and the spirit of God came upon him. 3 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: 4 He hath said, which heard the words of God, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open: 5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and thy tabernacles, O Israel! 6 As the valleys are they spread forth, as gardens by the river's side, as the trees of lign aloes which the LORD hath planted, and as cedar trees beside the waters. 7 He shall pour the water out of his buckets, and his seed shall be in many waters, and his king shall be higher than Agag, and his kingdom shall be exalted. 8 God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows. 9 He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a great lion: who shall stir him up? Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee.
10 And Balak's anger was kindled against Balaam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balaam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times. 11 Therefore now flee thou to thy place: I thought to promote thee unto great honour; but, lo, the LORD hath kept thee back from honour. 12 And Balaam said unto Balak, Spake I not also to thy messengers which thou sentest unto me, saying, 13 If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak? 14 And now, behold, I go unto my people: come therefore, and I will advertise thee what this people shall do to thy people in the latter days.
15 And he took up his parable, and said, Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man whose eyes are open hath said: 16 He hath said, which heard the words of God, and knew the knowledge of the most High, which saw the vision of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but having his eyes open: 17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. 18 And Edom shall be a possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly. 19 Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that remaineth of the city. 20 And when he looked on Amalek, he took up his parable, and said, Amalek was the first of the nations; but his latter end shall be that he perish for ever. 21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his parable, and said, Strong is thy dwellingplace, and thou puttest thy nest in a rock. 22 Nevertheless the Kenite shall be wasted, until Asshur shall carry thee away captive. 23 And he took up his parable, and said, Alas, who shall live when God doeth this! 24 And ships shall come from the coast of Chittim, and shall afflict Asshur, and shall afflict Eber, and he also shall perish for ever. 25 And Balaam rose up, and went and returned to his place: and Balak also went his way.
1 And Israel abode in Shittim, and the people began to commit whoredom with the daughters of Moab. 2 And they called the people unto the sacrifices of their gods: and the people did eat, and bowed down to their gods. 3 And Israel joined himself unto Baalpeor: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel. 4 And the LORD said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the LORD may be turned away from Israel. 5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.
6 And, behold, one of the children of Israel came and brought unto his brethren a Midianitish woman in the sight of Moses, and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping before the door of the tabernacle of the congregation. 7 And when Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation, and took a javelin in his hand; 8 And he went after the man of Israel into the tent, and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her belly. So the plague was stayed from the children of Israel. 9 And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand. 10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 11 Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, hath turned my wrath away from the children of Israel, while he was zealous for my sake among them, that I consumed not the children of Israel in my jealousy. 12 Wherefore say, Behold, I give unto him my covenant of peace: 13 And he shall have it, and his seed after him, even the covenant of an everlasting priesthood; because he was zealous for his God, and made an atonement for the children of Israel. 14 Now the name of the Israelite that was slain, even that was slain with the Midianitish woman, was Zimri, the son of Salu, a prince of a chief house among the Simeonites. 15 And the name of the Midianitish woman that was slain was Cozbi, the daughter of Zur; he was head over a people, and of a chief house in Midian.
16 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 17 Vex the Midianites, and smite them: 18 For they vex you with their wiles, wherewith they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor, and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a prince of Midian, their sister, which was slain in the day of the plague for Peor's sake.
14 And when he had called all the people unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me every one of you, and understand: 15 There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. 16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 17 And when he was entered into the house from the people, his disciples asked him concerning the parable. 18 And he saith unto them, Are ye so without understanding also? Do ye not perceive, that whatsoever thing from without entereth into the man, it cannot defile him; 19 Because it entereth not into his heart, but into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, purging all meats? 20 And he said, That which cometh out of the man, that defileth the man. 21 For from within, out of the heart of men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, 22 Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: 23 All these evil things come from within, and defile the man.
24 And from thence he arose, and went into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an house, and would have no man know it: but he could not be hid. 25 For a certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of him, and came and fell at his feet: 26 The woman was a Greek, a Syrophenician by nation; and she besought him that he would cast forth the devil out of her daughter. 27 But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. 28 And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs. 29 And he said unto her, For this saying go thy way; the devil is gone out of thy daughter. 30 And when she was come to her house, she found the devil gone out, and her daughter laid upon the bed.
31 And again, departing from the coasts of Tyre and Sidon, he came unto the sea of Galilee, through the midst of the coasts of Decapolis. 32 And they bring unto him one that was deaf, and had an impediment in his speech; and they beseech him to put his hand upon him. 33 And he took him aside from the multitude, and put his fingers into his ears, and he spit, and touched his tongue; 34 And looking up to heaven, he sighed, and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be opened. 35 And straightway his ears were opened, and the string of his tongue was loosed, and he spake plain. 36 And he charged them that they should tell no man: but the more he charged them, so much the more a great deal they published it; 37 And were beyond measure astonished, saying, He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.
1 My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee; 2 So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; 3 Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; 4 If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; 5 Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God. 6 For the LORD giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding. 7 He layeth up sound wisdom for the righteous: he is a buckler to them that walk uprightly. 8 He keepeth the paths of judgment, and preserveth the way of his saints. 9 Then shalt thou understand righteousness, and judgment, and equity; yea, every good path. 10 When wisdom entereth into thine heart, and knowledge is pleasant unto thy soul; 11 Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee: 12 To deliver thee from the way of the evil man, from the man that speaketh froward things; 13 Who leave the paths of uprightness, to walk in the ways of darkness; 14 Who rejoice to do evil, and delight in the frowardness of the wicked; 15 Whose ways are crooked, and they froward in their paths: 16 To deliver thee from the strange woman, even from the stranger which flattereth with her words; 17 Which forsaketh the guide of her youth, and forgetteth the covenant of her God. 18 For her house inclineth unto death, and her paths unto the dead. 19 None that go unto her return again, neither take they hold of the paths of life. 20 That thou mayest walk in the way of good men, and keep the paths of the righteous. 21 For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it. 22 But the wicked shall be cut off from the earth, and the transgressors shall be rooted out of it.

Even the royals don't escape rail woes as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's Cardiff visit has been delayed by nearly an hour thanks to train delays.
The royal couple were due to arrive at Cardiff Castle at 1.30pm but – would you believe it – their train was delayed from London Paddington station by 51 minutes.
Yep, the royals face the same rail woes as us muggles. Who'd have thought it?
It looks like they were on the 11.15am train from London Paddington, which was due to arrive at 1.22pm, meaning they could have just made it for 1.30pm at the castle.
However, as their train, which should have taken two hours and seven minutes, was delayed by 51 minutes, they arrived just before 2.30pm instead.
Had they not stopped for that cup of coffee in the First Class Lounge (okay, we don't know that they actually did do this, we just presume), they could have made it onto the 10.45am train, which was running bang on time.
This is the couple's third official royal engagement together but their first visit to Wales.
The engaged couple, who are set to marry in Windsor on 19 May, are taking a trip to the Welsh capital today.
Meghan and Harry are visiting Cardiff to celebrate Wales' heritage and the Welsh language.
Their first stop will be the historic Cardiff Castle, which is going to host a Welsh Culture Festival.
During a tour of the 2,000-year-old building, Meghan and Harry will be treated to performances from musicians and poets, will meet leading athletes, and learn how organisations are promoting the Welsh language and cultural identity.
The couple, who started dating in July 2016, will then go on to visit Tremorfa's Star Hub, which is a community and leisure centre in the north-east of Cardiff.
There, they will see how sport is being used to engage young people.
The busy pair will also see how StreetGames, an organisation Harry has worked with in the past, is helping bring sport to young people of all social backgrounds.
Meghan and Harry have so far made two official royal engagements since they announced they were engaged to marry on November 27.
Their first engagement saw them travel to Nottingham on 1 December to raise awareness of HIV/Aids and efforts to tackle youth crime.
For their second engagement, they headed to Brixton to visit Reprezent FM – a not-for-profit station set up to help keep youths away from crime.

On Wednesday, July 28 the Bates Dance Festival presented Moving in the Moment, the annual improvisatory performance by the Festival's faculty and musicians. The show is an iconic part of the BDF experience and speaks wholly to the emphasis on collaboration and improvisation that the Festival teaches.
Movement in the Moment came into being in the early years of the Bates Dance Festiva (now in its 34th season.) Since it's founding, contact improvisation has been an integral part of the Festival. BDF Director Laura Faure remembers the showing gradually developing from humble beginnings as an in-house jam into the public event that it is today.
Yet despite a larger audience, the event remains highly informal and free to the public, encouraging members of the local Maine community to attend. For the past number of years the evening has included a pre-show performance by campers in the Youth Arts Program, Bates Dance Festival's community outreach program that brings local campers aged 6-17 together to explore art of all kind. On Wednesday, half an hour before the show began, Youth Arts Program families, BDF students, and general audience members gathered outside on Bates College's idyllic campus. The roughly fifty campers stood in a clump on the end of a stone path cutting through a grassy field across from Youth Arts Program musicians Terrence Karn and Rob Flax, their instruments in hand. Guided by their counselors and staff the young students began their improvisational score. Every time a certain whistle was sounded, they all froze. The score focused on mimicry, including a mirroring activity done in pairs, and a walking game where the campers exaggerated the movements of one student. The campers concentrated fiercely on the tasks at hand, foreshadowing the show to come.
As they entered the Bates College Alumni Gymnasium audience members were approached by the dancers and asked to leave their shoes in a taped out region of the floor adjacent to the marley, and take a seat in the bleachers on either side of the dance floor. The fifteen dancers included many members of the Festival's faculty along with select staff and community members. Festival lighting designer Greg Catellier sat ready at his board next to the eight world-class festival musicians, poised in a sea of instruments. Lighting and music allowed the evening to function as a fully improvised show as opposed to a jam – all of the converging aspects of theatricality executed simultaneously by practitioners at the very top of their game. Faculty members and practiced improvisers Angie Hauser and Chris Aiken introduced the evening. "The movement you're about to see doesn't exist," said Aiken, and the show began.
A complex four page long score was posted around the room for the dancers and musicians to reference, encouraging contrast in both movement and music. Taking note from the Youth Arts Program dancers, mimicry played an interesting role throughout the evening. A particularly poignant recurring moment came when one dancer would raise their arm and others would slowly follow either in a clump around the leader or scattered around the stage. This simple gesture felt powerful both in juxtaposition to the otherwise near constant individual movement and in the coming together of the dancers almost in protest or solidarity, particularly moving in light of the country's polarizing climate this summer.
At one point BDF faculty member and former Bill T. Jones dancer Paul Matteson left the floor and walked over to an usher leaning against the doorframe on the far edge, arms crossed. Matteson stood closely next to him and took on his stance, provoking laughter from the audience members who'd watched him walk away. Moments like this pushed against the boundaries of the metaphorical fourth wall erected even in such an informal setting.
As a group ran past BDF jazz teacher Autumn Eckman's head was lightly knocked by another dancer; instead of reacting against the interruption she let it lead her into new movement. This shows the necessity of improvisational skills for all dancers – anything can happen in performance, and the ability to think on your feet and take cues from others is crucial. This show provided an important opportunity for dancers of all generations in the audience to be reminded of this aspect of their training.
Midway into the show the dancers unrolled tech tape on the floor, creating a smaller square and pulled rows of audience members onto each of the four sides to create a more intimate boundary line. The dancers casually inserted themselves into the audience, reentering the performance one at a time. The first out was veteran faculty member Andrea Olsen. Olsen performed a largely gestural solo, finding stillness in balance and falling gently off of it to lyrical piano music. She was joined in sequence by Angie Hauser and Doug Varone dancer Xan Burley. These three unique dancers spanning multiple generations moved individually but in reference to each other, their personal styles speaking clearly in complement to one another.
Moving in the Moment ended with the dancers moving one at a time into the neighboring collection of shoes. They found their way to standing and helped each new arrival into the fray. Once the last dancer arrived, they all stood still, staring ahead for a number of seconds before the lights went dark. The show was a reminder of the importance of creativity, concentration, collaboration, and also of finding playfulness and joy in dance. These are key tenets of the Bates Dance Festival, and the evening as a whole spoke to the uniqueness of this historic summer community.

Ralph & Russo Spring/Summer 2018 couture is a continued celebration of the many facets of all women and the collection pays homage to the eastern exploration of Creative Director, Tamara Ralph.
Resonant of traditional Asian decoration and punctuated by imperial red silk crêpe, acid green gazar and canary yellow silk satin; the collection is a spectrum of exoticism, with transparent illusion tulle suits, crystal embroidered jacquard and draped kimono-style silhouettes edged in layers of decorative tassels.
Moulded white crêpe jasmine petals and powder blue organza chrysanthemums enhance delicately hand painted florals and songbirds, whilst tiers of devoré ostrich feathers and chiffon ruffles reflect the features of sacred eastern architecture.
Metallic crystal chainmail and silk lamé return in an underlying theme of reflection, not only of the creative mind and exploration, but of the importance of travel for today's modern woman.

Blue World Voyages – first cruise line aimed at fitness fanaticsNews
It's the opposite of what cruising is supposed to be – Blue World Voyages is the world's first cruise line to be fully dedicated to sports and wellness.
Forget the buffet, lying by the pool and sitting at the bar.
Cruise Passenger spoke to the founders, and they think that the ship built like a fitness and wellness theme park for adults will be a big hit with Australians.
Their first ship, the Blue World is designed to be unlike anything else. The founders even delayed their first launch to the second quarter of 2021, and are currently finding a bigger ship that could fit all they wanted on board.
The ship has thrown out the buffet tables, slot machines and even the theatre and replaced them with two full decks of fitness equipment and spa facilities. And there are even residences on board, so you can permanently live in the ultra fit bubble.
"Picture a typical show lounge on board a ship. Since we're not going to be doing shows, we can now take this space and convert it into a beautiful functional training area," says Gene Meehan co founder of Blue World Voyages and an athlete with more than three decades of experience running multiple fitness and wellness facilities.
"We're bringing on board some of the hottest boutique fitness brands internationally. The industry is moving in the direction of single purpose boutique brands that specialises in one element rather than big box clubs."
The sports deck features a functional training and strength conditioning facility, state of the art TRX, boxing, yoga and pilates studios, bike fitting station, pro-style batting cages, multi-sport simulators and even a Hank Haney Golf School.
And the studios will be packed full with classes: "Our yoga studio would offer maybe heated yoga and six different types of yoga," says Mr Meehan.
There are many fitness and wellness trends that come and go quickly but Mr Meehan says that he is confident about staying away from the fads and stick to what really want to do.
"I've been in the business for over thirty years. I have spotted all sorts of trends. When you see something new, with a little bit of experience you can if it is going to be around for or if it is just a fad."
It is not just for the seasoned athletes
And before you get intimidated by all the ship's sporting features, the founders assure that the cruise is for both seasoned athletes and people who are just starting out on their fitness journey.
"We'll offer the support that people who are just started need. We have all the professionals on board to make sure that they leave the ship with a great program. All of our passengers will also be helping them to achieve their goals," says Mr Meehan.
"There is a tribal mentality among people who are fit and they help other people get over the finish line. It will be a great motivational environment for people who are looking to get started."
The ship will have a unique seawater lap pool that also provides docking for kayaks, the first ever for a cruise ship. It comes together in about six pieces and it can be installed in around 30 minutes whenever the ship is anchored and sea conditions permit.
"We'll have very active people on board, triathletes, marathoners, pools on ships are always very small. If we put a pool down into the ocean, then we can make it as big as we want," says Mr Meehan.
Guests will also be provided with the latest equipment to snorkel, scuba, surf, paddleboard, bike and more. The line is also aiming to lead the pack in bringing technology to fitness and wellness. From activity and health tracking to Electric Muscle Stimulation, where a 20 minute session is equivalent to an hour of strenuous workout.
Fitness focused shore excursions
The focus on health and wellness also goes beyond the ship. In fact, the itineraries are planned to facilitate sports and active excursions like biking, golfing, running, unique places for meditation and yoga, says Fredy Dellis co founder of Blue World Voyages.
There will always be a local guide who knows the best spots, the most scenic and safe routes to take in town leading the active excursions. There will also have different levels of intensity to cater to all fitness levels.
"The active excursions are highly organised. For example for a hike, there won't just be one hike, there will be maybe three different levels of the same hike, cycling and running excursions," says Mr Meehan.
It is not just all exercise, assures the founders. A regular day might start with a morning workout at seven or eight am but and you should be free to explore the towns at your leisure to soak in the local culture and sights. Or head back to the ship to soothe your aches at the generous spa, another highlight of the ship that claims to be the largest spa per passenger ever built.
The ship dining venues will also feature plenty of healthy fresh food at farm-to-table Italian to Asian fusion restaurants as well as natural juice bar.
Itineraries and cabins
They are now on track to debut Blue World in the second quarter of 2021 and the first itineraries are scheduled to launch in April 2020.
The first year itineraries are a series of seven-day cruises focused in Europe, the Mediterranean, the coast of the Atlantic going into the British Isle going into the Baltic Sea. The first winter itinerary is still in planning stages but they are looking at western coast of South America.
Mr Dellis the former CEO of the first ultra luxe residences at sea The World also managed to convince Mr Meehan to include 40 luxury one and two-bedroom residences along with 225 hotel suites. So there will be a mix of residents and holidaying guests on board at each time.
The standard passenger suites are priced at $5,075pp (US$3,500pp), with inclusions like all tips, meals in any of their four restaurants, complimentary beverages at lunch and dinner, laundry service, Wi-Fi, most group fitness classes, some shore excursions and three signature events per voyage.
Most of the suites will be balcony cabins and will sport a light modern colour palette and furnishings which is meant to offer "roomy, comfortable cruising". They also feature spacious bathrooms with vitamin infused rainfall showers and the latest wellness developments like circadian lighting, aromatherapy, air and water filtration, natural bedding and other natural materials. You'd also be able to store your personal sport equipment in walk in closets.
The one bedroom residences (850 sq ft) are priced from $3,407,500 (US$2,350,000) and the two Bedroom split level residences (1200 sq ft) are priced from $4,857,500 (US$3,350,000). The price is for the purchase of a 25 years right of use for the residences.
The founders expect 75 per cent of US guests and 25 per cent of guests from Australia, UK and Germany. The line designed their cruises for 35 to 65 year old and do not recommend the Blue World cruise experience for children under 16.
