FEATURE: SEO Checklist: 5 Factors You Can Expect to Change
FEATURE: SEO Checklist: 5 Factors You Can Expect to Change
by Kristi Kellogg, May 21, 2014
SEO is constantly shifting. Google changes its core search algorithm on average once a day, according to Matt Cutts. Occasionally, a change can catch you by surprise (hello, "not provided") — but that's not always the case. There are, in fact, some changes SEOs can expect to see … which is why we're providing you with this SEO checklist detailing the 5 factors you can expect to change.
As a best practice, review each of these SEO factors regularly:
• Localization
Read on to learn more about the changing nature of each of these SEO factors.
Google is heavily invested in the area of local optimization … which means it's constantly being enhanced and, therefore, changing. Internet marketers need to monitor how their listings are being presented. The way rich snippets display today is not necessarily the way they'll display tomorrow.
A recent change in the SERP, for example, is the prominent placement of Google reviews in the Knowledge Graph area and in rich snippets below a listing, and the de-emphasizing of ratings and reviews from other sites, as seen in the following screenshot of a search for Dodger Stadium:
Now, in order to make their search result hit a home run, Internet marketers need to prioritize garnering reviews on Google above other popular review sites.
Schema Markup
Schema markup (i.e., HTML code that a webmaster can insert around specific pieces of content to highlight what they are for search engines) is ever evolving — new properties and functionality are constantly being added. Though there are myriad properties you can implement from the master list at Schema.org, there is a limited number that Google can render when displaying rich snippets in search results. The capability of Google and other search engines to display schema properties, however, also continues to evolve.
This creates an opportunity, timing-wise. A webmaster should incorporate schema for as many types of data as possible, because tomorrow might be the day Google starts displaying a new property in rich snippets — and you want your listing to be first on the block to have that property in the SERP.
Furthermore, Bing's Senior Product Manager Duane Forrester confirmed last week that schema markup is a ranking factor. Given that schema markup affects the Bing algorithm, it may very well be a ranking factor in the Google algorithm, as well. It makes sense to assume that any code that gives a search engine contextual evidence is probably is a ranking factor, whether or not it has been confirmed.
If ever there was a moving target, it's a keyword target. Keywords and search terms are fluid, which means keyword research never ends. Keywords are influenced by platform (web search vs. mobile, for instance), by location and by general shifts in terminology. If you have a site advertising a yogurt shop, the only way to know whether users are searching more for "froyo" or "frozen yogurt" is through keyword research. And just because they're searching for one term now doesn't mean they won't start searching by another tomorrow.
Though Google's move to secure search impacted Internet marketers' ability to pinpoint exactly which terms were bringing traffic to their sites, keyword research is by no means over. Internet marketers have other avenues to identify terms their users are searching with:
AdWords Keyword Planner and the SEOToolSet®
Both the Google AdWords Keyword Planner and the Suggest Keywords tool in the SEOToolSet® provide data on the volume of searches conducted for any particular keyword, as well as suggest variations. If you have a keyword phrase in mind, verify that it is capturing traffic with one of these tools. The SEOToolSet also provides data on the number of web pages containing the phrase in their title, which is another indicator of a keyword's competitiveness.
Google Analtyics Content Drilldown Report
Take a look at what pages on your site are garnering the most views and identify any patterns. Are there five articles on a particular topic that are outshining the rest? Bingo — that's a key topic that your users are interested in, and you can capture more traffic by continuing to create content that addresses that topic.
Social Cues
Similarly, you can look at the success of your content on social media platforms to gauge what your users are primarily interested in. Do you have an infographic with 10,000 likes? An article that's been retweeted ad infinitum? As with the Content Drilldown report, analyze the topic of the content and work to create more content in that vein.
Devices and Search Behavior
The search industry continues to see the rise of search via mobile device. As smartphone and tablet use becomes increasingly common, search behavior has shifted to reflect that.
While it's possible for a website to rank without a mobile component, it's ill advised. One of an Internet marketer's chief concerns should be user experience — and if you're failing to provide a good mobile experience for the ever-increasing number of mobile users, you will have increasingly high bounce rates as users pinch and tap at their screen, struggling to interact with an unresponsive site.
Right now, the shift in search is toward mobile devices … but where will it shift in 2015? And in 2025? When Google Glass and other wearable search devices move out of beta and become available to the public at large, search behavior may shift yet again. And beyond Google Glass, what devices might emerge that are not yet even invented? Internet marketers need to stay on top of search behavior and optimize accordingly.
Link Building
As search engines become increasingly sophisticated, even the role of backlinks — one of the most fundamental SEO factors — has shifted. When Google's Penguin algorithm update hit in April 2012, webmasters quickly learned that purchased links, traded links and over-optimized anchor text would not pass the Google sniff-test any longer. Less-than-ethical SEOs had to adjust their strategy or suffer penalties and traffic drops.
Even for ethical SEOs, however, the role of links will change. This month, Matt Cutts stated that "over time, backlinks will become a little less important" — of course, "a little" is a subjective term and there are no guarantees when it comes to the weight Google will place on backlinks in the future.
"Sometimes backlinks matter for … [determining] the reputation of the site or page … but for the most part, people care about the quality of the content," Cutts said. "As we get better at understanding who wrote something and what the real meaning of that content is, inevitably over time, there will be a little less emphasis on links."

Registered Motor Vehicle FAQ
What is a licensed motor vehicle?
A licensed motor vehicle is any motor vehicle that maintains an active North Carolina tag and registration. The term "motor vehicle" includes automobiles, trucks, buses, campers, RV's, trailers, and motorcycles.
How is the value of a vehicle determined?
An assessor must appraise a motor vehicle at its true value in money. The sales price of a vehicle purchased from a dealer, including all accessories attached to the vehicle, is considered the true value of the vehicle, and the assessor must appraise the vehicle at this value.
The Property Tax Division of the NC Department of Revenue annually adopts a schedule of values to be used when vehicles are not purchased from a dealer and for registration renewals. This ensures equitable statewide valuations. The system allows for adjustments for high mileage and below average condition.
May I appeal the value?
The owner of a vehicle may appeal the appraised value of the vehicle by filing a request for appeal (Gaston County Motor Vehicle Appeal Form) with the Tax Office within 30 days of the date the taxes are due. An owner who appeals the appraised value must pay the tax on the vehicle when due, subject to a full or partial refund if the appeal is decided in the owner's favor.
Who pays the taxes on a leased vehicle?
The person or company leasing the vehicle will be mailed the combined tag and tax notice and will be responsible for paying the taxes.
Is interest charged on late payments?
Yes. NC law requires that interest be charged on late vehicle property tax payments and registration renewal fees.
Will I receive a tax refund or owe additional tax if I transfer my license plate to another vehicle during the year?
No. If you have paid your vehicle property tax for the year and then transfer the license plate to anther vehicle, you will not be eligible for a refund of any taxes paid. The registered motor vehicle to which the plate is transferred will not be taxed until the current registration is renewed.
When can I apply for a refund of vehicle property taxes paid?
An owner can apply for a refund of taxes paid when a vehicle is sold or registered out of state and the license plate is turned in to a NC license plate agency, the owner must present the following to the county tax office:
1.) Proof of plate surrender to NC DMV (DMV Form FS20).
2.) Copy of the Bill of Sale or the new state's registration.
My Tax & Tag Combined notice shows taxes for a city or fire district that I do not live in. What do I do to get this corrected?
Please contact the Tax Office at (704) 866-3199.
My Tax & Tag combined notice shows taxes for a county I do not live in?
You must have this corrected at a NC License Plate Agency.
I received a Tax & Tag combined notice on a vehicle that I've already sold. What do I do?
If you no longer own the car and have turned in the license plate, you may ignore the invitation to renew and tax bill. If you have transferred the plate to another vehicle, DMV can create you a bill for the new vehicle.
How can I get a record of the taxes I paid on a registered vehicle?
The tax amount you paid is now listed on the registration form you received for your vehicle. If you are unable to locate the registration, go to https://edmv.ncdot.gov/mydmv/mydmvaccount/login.
What is a GAP Property Tax Notice and how are taxes calculated?
A Gap Property Tax Notice is a tax bill that covers the months between the expiration of a vehicle's registration and the renewal of that registration or the issuance of a new registration. Taxes are based on a 12-month year, therefore the taxes due are adjusted proportionately downward if the number of Gap Months Billed is less than 12 months and upward if the number of Gap Months Billed is more than 12 months.

The Bostonians, by Henry JamesA review by Horace Elisha Scudder
The second lady of this drama is Verena Tarrant, who was constructed for the purposes of the story, and is, we may say, a purely imaginary being. Mr. James may have had an indefinite image of the Priscilla of Hawthorne's The Blithedale Romance floating in his mind when he built this impossible Verena. Impossible, we say, because, while Hawthorne manages to invest Priscilla with a delicacy of nature in spite of her surroundings, Mr. James, in his analysis of Verena, makes her refined, beautiful, spiritual in her power, and in a hundred ways, when he is not analyzing her, succeeds in betraying a cheap imitation of spiritual beauty. That Olive Chancellor, with a cataract over her inner eye, should fail to perceive the innate vulgarity of the girl is not surprising, but it is too much to ask of us that we should make Basil Ransom stone blind also.
Basil Ransom, however, is in certain ways equally remote from the life which he is supposed to represent. It was a clever notion to bring the antipathetic element from the South, and in a few features this hero of the story has a little likeness to an actual Mississippian; but we cannot resist the conviction that Mr. James has never been in Mississippi, as the phrase goes, and trusts to luck that his readers have not been there either. We have not much quarrel with him on this ground, however. Perhaps we ought to be thankful, since an intimacy with Ransom's native surroundings might have produced another book of the story, in which the hero should have been built up as patiently and minutely as was the case with The Bostonians themselves. Suffice it to say that the fact of an extreme Southern birth and breeding count for a great deal in orienting this important character.
We have intimated that the book is not in the least a contribution to the study of the woman question, so called. It is rather a study of the particular woman question in this book. Instead of the old, familiar predicament of one heroine and two heroes, one of whom must get and one lose the prize, the two heroes are a man and woman, but the struggle is of the same general character. Who is to have Verena? Shall it be Olive or Basil? That is the question which is asked with great particularity and at great length. The novel is divided into three books: in the first, Basil is barely introduced, but Olive and Verena are built up like a coral reef; in the second, the contesting parties maneuver for position; in the third, the conflict takes place, with what may be called a tussle in the end. We hope we may be pardoned for a slight "derangement of epitaphs" and for a possibly flippant manner in stating the argument of the book. The astounding array of particulars invites one to pause and see if he cannot abstract the generals. Indeed, one stands in amazement before the delicacy of workmanship, especially in the first few chapters. The minute touches with which the portraits of Olive Chancellor and Miss Birdseye are elaborated, and the quick, firm strokes that depict Mrs. Farrinder and the Tarrants, have never been excelled by Mr. James. There is a page given to Mrs. Farrinder which is simply a masterpiece in its way; its compactness intensifies its brilliancy, and the wit of its quiet sentences is as keen as it is easy.
The character, however, on which Mr. James has plainly expended the most careful and, we are tempted to say, loving descriptive art is that of Miss Birdseye. At first one fears that the author does not appreciate her, but one ends by seeing that Mr. James knew the pathetic nobility of the figure, and admired it, even while he was apparently amusing himself and his readers. It is not art alone that can do this,--something of personal tenderness must go into the process; and this character is the one redeeming feature of the book, if one is considering the humane aspects. The other persons are either ignoble, like the Tarrants and Mrs. Luna, or they are repellent for other reasons; but Miss Birdseye one falls in love with, quite to the exclusion of the proper heroine.
When we say that most of the characters are repellent, we are simply recording the effect which they produce upon the reader by reason of the attitude which the author of their being takes toward them. He does not love them. Why should he ask more of us? But since he is extremely interested in them, and seems never wearied of setting them in every possible light, we also accede to this interest, and if we have time enough strike up an extraordinary intimacy with all parties. It is when this interest leads Mr. James to push his characters too near the brink of nature that we step back and decline to follow. For instance, the details of the first interview between Olive and Verena in Olive's house carry these young women to dangerous lengths, and we hesitate about accepting the relation between them as either natural or reasonable. So far does this go that in the author's exhaustive reflections upon the subject directly afterward we feel as if another step only were needed to introduce a caricature by Mr. James upon himself. All this is still more apparent in the final scene of the book, which ought to have been the climax; instead of which, by its noise and confusion, and its almost indecent exposure of Miss Chancellor's mind, this scene allows the story just to tumble down at the end.
Mr. James himself is, we fear, somewhat contaminated by the people whom he has been associating with in this study. His book begins, as we have said, with a remarkable piece of writing, but by and by he falls into a manner which could only have been caught from the Tarrants. His own manner has a trick of being almost too familiar, with its elisions and its easy-going phrases; but his constant resort to the initial well in conversation, and his habit of reporting the mind as well as the conversation of his baser characters in a sort of third personal evasion of elegance, add to the general effect of slouchiness which much of the book produces.
We have been drawn by the spirit of the book into a more minute criticism that we had intended, but after chasing with Mr. James so long, it is difficult not to go on chasing him a little. It is when we stop and take the book as a whole that we forget how fine the web is spun, and remember only the strong conception which underlies the book; the freshness of the material used; the amazing cleverness of separate passages; the consummate success shown in so dangerous a scene as the death of Miss Birdseye, where the reticence of art is splendidly displayed; and, in fine, the prodigal wealth scattered through all the pages. There is sorry waste, and one's last thought about the work is a somewhat melancholy one, but we all have a lurking affection for prodigals.
Horace Elisha Scudder, The Atlantic Monthly, June 1886.

Picture a homeless person. What comes to mind? A dirty man with wild hair wearing ragged clothing, sleeping on a park bench? There are people walking past him, perhaps trying to pretend he's not there or otherwise judging him, thinking he should get a job or if they give him any money, he'll just spend it on drugs or alcohol.
Now think about someone much like yourself. They've been sleeping on their friend's couch for a few months after their position at work became redundant and they couldn't keep up with rent payments anymore. This isn't the first friend they've stayed with either; they don't want to be too much of a burden. They've got a roof over their head for now, but no security.
This person is homeless too. The reality is that this is a much more common display of homelessness than the stereotype.
At the 2011 census, there was close to 23,000 people experiencing homelessness in Victoria. Only 5% of these people are sleeping rough and would fit the first image. The vast majority of homeless people in Victoria are sleeping temporarily with friends or relatives, staying in boarding houses, staying in crisis or temporary accommodation, or in severely over-crowded dwellings that are below liveable standard.
Marika Fengler is the Communications Coordinator for Scared Heart Mission in St Kilda, an organisation that works with people who are homeless and living in poverty to help them participate more fully in society. Fengler says people who aren't sleeping rough are the "hidden homeless".
"They're not the people you see on the street, but they're still homeless and suffering. Sleeping rough is only a very small proportion," Fengler says. "There's a lot more people who are couch surfing, or staying in temporary dwellings. I met with some people the other day, and one woman was talking about how she knows someone who is sleeping in a tent in the back of someone's house,
"And then there's people who are living in squats and sub-standard rooming houses, who are classified as homeless as they're below the standard and don't have the security of a lease; you can be kicked out at any time. Some of these people have to share a bathroom with 20 other people."
Marika says another misconception is that some of people think homeless people choose this lifestyle.
"Well I can tell you what, from the people I meet, no one is choosing to be in that situation at all."
A wide range of factors, most of which are out of the person's control, can leave someone homeless. Many homeless people are suffering from things like severe mental health issues that may stem from something like an abusive and traumatic childhood, long-term unemployment and family breakdowns and violence (family violence is still the number one contributor to homelessness). Marika says all these issues both cause and are exacerbated by homelessness.
"They might have monetary issues, combined with a drug and alcohol issue, because they've dealt with all this crap early on in life, so they're trying to cope by turning to drugs or drinking.
"And then they've got mental health issues, which might be existing or develop because they've lived such a harsh and stressful life. They've got all these problems plus unstable housing. If you don't have a stable base, a place to call home and feel safe, how are you meant to deal with all these other issues as well?" she says.
Communications manager for Melbourne City Mission, Phil Buckley, says that anyone could find themselves in set of circumstances that could lead to homelessness. He says the homeless are often unfairly seen negatively because of the situation they are in.
"I meet these people and I've been totally proved wrong. First appearances can sadly be massively deceptive. You find out they have big aspirations like any of us. But for whatever reason, marriage or family breakdown, mental health problems, drug and alcohol abuse, they've fallen on hard times," Buckley says. "There's truth to the saying, 'you're only every one mistake away from homelessness'. You hear the stories of riches to rags, and through no fault of their own, these people end up on the street.
"It just hasn't gone their way and it can happen very, very quickly."
Buckley says many people are ashamed to admit that they are homeless, even though the circumstances that led to them becoming homeless were more often than not beyond their control.
As part of a study, Scared Heart Mission conducted in-depth interviews with homeless people. One of them was Malcolm, 42, who lives in a rooming house that he describes as a "jail outside of jail". He says being homeless separates you from society.
"You don't live the same as other people. You don't have a home to go to. You don't have something to do with yourself like a job … your hygiene becomes poor because you don't have access to washing facilities. Your diet, your eating, becomes affected because you don't have access to food the same as you would if you have your own home.
"A lot of people if they find out you've been homeless shy away from that and they think you belong to some other group, not to them, cause it's never happened to them… A lot of people don't realise that actually it doesn't take much for anyone to end up that way," Malcolm says.
The solution to homeless in Victoria is not simple. Homelessness is a complex, multi-faceted issue, with different causes and effects from person to person. This means there is no one-size-fits-all fix, however there are definite strategies that could alleviate the problem.
A more consolidated and individualised approach to homelessness services would help provide people with a more stable life. Between November 2009 and October 2012, the Scared Heart Mission ran an initiative called 'Journey to Social Inclusion' (J2SI). This is a program that uses its investment in a more targeted way than existing homelessness services.
Fengler says it costs between $30,000-$35,000 a year for each person who is long term homeless, due to the various services they are using. J2SI took the same amount of money, but used it in an individualised and long-term approach, which saw 85% of the 40 participants maintain housing over the three years.
"That's what we see as the approach of helping people out of long-term homelessness; it really needs a targeted, individualised and coordinated approach," Fengler says.
Scared Heart Mission wants to run this three-year program again, but this time expanding it to help 60 people at a time. Fengler says they've streamlined the program to cost only $22,000 per person per year, which is much less than the amount currently being spent.
More affordable housing is also fundamental. Sarah Toohey from the Council to Homeless Persons says Victoria's unaffordable housing market and lack of public and social housing is "creating a housing crunch that's exacerbating homelessness".
"We've got a critical shortage of affordable private rental housing and a critical shortage of public housing. If we don't have homes to get people into, then we're going to have a hard time ending homelessness," Toohey says.
In the lead up to the 2014 Victorian state election, the CHP have developed an election platform, outlining what they'd like to see from the government, which includes an affordable housing strategy to increase the supply of low income homes. Toohey says that given the "huge" rate of construction across Victoria, more affordable housing and public housing should be built.
"What could and should be happening, and what I'd like to see candidates commit to, is inclusionary zoning where a proportion of all those properties being built are dedicated to public and social housing."
Homelessness in Victoria is not a new issue and is not going away anytime soon, considering the continually increasing numbers of people experiencing homelessness across the state. There needs to be proper intervention. Buckley says that this isn't an issue we can just sweep under the carpet anymore.
"Every morning when I'm walking the city streets to go to work, I see homeless people on the streets. But let's not forget that Melbourne for the fourth year in a row has been voted the World's Most Liveable City! But on our doorstep, we've got this massive problem. It's not very reflective; Victoria has got 23,000 homeless people. It's not the most liveable city for them."

How old exactly wheat is, Man will most probably never know but it is almost certain that it dates back at least tens of thousands of years......It is thought however, that wheat began its growth in the river valleys of Egypt, Persia and in places where spring was followed by a hot dry summer that suited this grass-like plant.
The most important part of the wheat plant to the baker is the seed. (grain is used as a collective name for the seeds of cereals such as wheat, oats.maize and rye). At one time a grain was the smallest unit of weighing in the Troy and Avoirdupois systems = to 0.648 grams.
The wheat grain, as a seed, is fitted for reproducing the plant from which it came. The Germ is an embryo plant, with a radicle which can grow into a root and a plumule which can develop into stems and leaves.
The Bran (pericarp) is a tough skin that protects the inner seed from soil organisms which may attack it. This consists of a number of layers,each having a specific job to do in its reproduction.
The Endosperm is the food reserve (the life support system) on which the young plant lives until it develops its own root system, it is a mixture of starch and protein. The protein in the endosperm is mostly gluten which, in the making of bread gives the dough its elastic structure.
By its nature, wheat contains,
- Carbohydrate
- Protein
- Mineral Salts
- Vitamin B
The Grain of Wheat
The grain of wheat consists of three main parts
- ENDOSPERM. the part that produces the white flour.
- BRAN. the outer skin.
- GERM. the nucleus of the plant used in reproduction

No University Librarian since Folwell served the University in so many roles. During his long tenure, he was Dean of the College of Science, Literature and the Arts and on the faculty of the Library School and Graduate School. McDiarmid was born in West Virginia in 1909. He earned his B.A. in Library Science from Emory University and a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago. His first professional position was at Baylor University. In 1937, he accepted a position in the Library School of the University of Illinois. In 1943, he was named University Librarian of the University of Minnesota.
McDiarmid wrote two classics of library literature--The Library Survey: Problems and Methods (1940) and The Administration of the American Public Library (1943), both published by the American Library Association. McDiarmids administration was colored by his conviction that a library should be a source of cultural and intellectual inspiration. He shepherded the library through the end of World War II during a time when the nations research libraries were moving toward building international collections. He established the Childrens Literature Research Collection in 1949 when Irvine Kerlan tdonated his collection to the Library. On the national scene, McDiarmid served as President of the American Library Association in 1948/49. In 1951, he left the Library to become Dean of School of Liberal Arts and from 1963 through 1978, he was Director of the Graduate School Fellowship Office. In 1947, he helped found the Norwegian Explorers, a group of faculty who were Sherlock Holmes fans. After his retirement, he continued as a volunteer in the Special Collections unit, working with the Holmes collections to which he donated over 15,000 items in 1995. McDiarmid died in 2000.

How To Organize Expository Essay
Tips on Writing an Expository Essay
The purpose of the expository essay is to explain a topic in a logical and straightforward manner. Without bells and whistles, expository essays present a fair and balanced analysis of a subject based on facts—with no references to the writer's opinions or emotions.
A typical expository writing prompt will use the words "explain" or "define," such as in, "Write an essay explaining how the computer has changed the lives of students." Notice there is no instruction to form an opinion or argument on whether or not computers have changed students' lives. The prompt asks the writer to "explain," plain and simple. However, that doesn't mean expository essay writing is easy.
The Five-Step Writing Process for Expository Essays
Expository writing is a life skill. More than any other type of writing, expository writing is a daily requirement of most careers. Understanding and following the proven steps of the writing process helps all writers, including students, master the expository essay.
Expository Essay Structure
Usually, the expository essay is composed of five paragraphs. The introductory paragraph contains the thesis or main idea. The next three paragraphs, or body of the essay, provide details in support of the thesis. The concluding paragraph restates the main idea and ties together the major points of essay.
Here are expository essay tips for each part of the essay structure and writing process:
1. Prewriting for the Expository Essay
In the prewriting phase of writing an expository essay, students should take time to brainstorm about the topic and main idea. Next, do research and take notes. Create an outline showing the information to be presented in each paragraph, organized in a logical sequence.
2. Drafting the Expository Essay
When creating the initial draft of an expository essay, consider the following suggestions:
- The most important sentence in the introductory paragraph is the topic sentence, which states the thesis or main idea of the essay. The thesis should be clearly stated without giving an opinion or taking a position. A good thesis is well defined, with a manageable scope that can be adequately addressed within a five-paragraph essay.
- Each of the three body paragraphs should cover a separate point that develops the essay's thesis. The sentences of each paragraph should offer facts and examples in support of the paragraph's topic.
- The concluding paragraph should reinforce the thesis and the main supporting ideas. Do not introduce new material in the conclusion.
- Since an expository essay discusses an event, situation, or the views of others, and not a personal experience, students should write in the third person ("he," "she," or "it"), and avoid "I" or "you" sentences.
3. Revising the Expository Essay
In the revision phase, students review, modify, and reorganize their work with the goal of making it the best it can be. Keep these considerations in mind:
- Does the essay give an unbiased analysis that unfolds logically, using relevant facts and examples?
- Has the information been clearly and effectively communicated to the reader?
- Watch out for "paragraph sprawl," which occurs when the writer loses focus and veers from the topic by introducing unnecessary details.
- Is the sentence structure varied? Is the word choice precise?
- Do the transitions between sentences and paragraphs help the reader's understanding?
- Does the concluding paragraph communicate the value and meaning of the thesis and key supporting ideas?
If the essay is still missing the mark, take another look at the topic sentence. A solid thesis statement leads to a solid essay. Once the thesis works, the rest of the essay falls into place more easily.
4. Editing the Expository Essay
Next, proofread and correct errors in grammar and mechanics, and edit to improve style and clarity. While an expository essay should be clear and concise, it can also be lively and engaging. Having a friend read the essay helps writers edit with a fresh perspective.
5. Publishing the Expository Essay
Sharing an expository essay with a teacher, parent, or other reader can be both exciting and intimidating. Remember, there isn't a writer on earth who isn't sensitive about his or her own work. The important thing is to learn from the experience and use the feedback to make the next essay better.
Essay Variations
Essay writing is a huge part of a education today. Most students must learn to write various kinds of essays during their academic careers, including different types of expository essay writing:
- Definition essays explain the meaning of a word, term, or concept. The topic can be a concrete subject such as an animal or tree, or it can be an abstract term, such as freedom or love. This type of essay should discuss the word's denotation (literal or dictionary definition), as well as its connotation or the associations that a word usually brings to mind.
- Classification essays break down a broad subject or idea into categories and groups. The writer organizes the essay by starting with the most general category and then defines and gives examples of each specific classification.
- Compare and contrast essays describe the similarities and differences between two or more people, places, or things. Comparison tells how things are alike and contrast shows how they are different.
- Cause and effect essays explain how things affect each other and depend on each other. The writer identifies a clear relationship between two subjects, focusing on why things happen (causes) and/or what happens as a result (effects).
- "How to" essays, sometimes called process essays, explain a procedure, step-by-step process, or how to do something with the goal of instructing the reader.

What are you doing surfing the net and reading blog posts, when you should be writing? Procrastinating again, huh?
Well that's okay. I can't blame you—writing an expository essay can be frustrating. It doesn't have to be that difficult, though; all you need is a gentle push in the right direction. That's what I'm here for—hold on while I put on my Kibin superhero cape.
This blog post contains a tutorial of how to write an expository essay outline. I've included some helpful imagery, advice, and a downloadable outline template for your convenience.
But Wait? What's an Expository Essay?
That's a great question. Sadly, the answer is probably a bit more vague than you want it to be. An expository essay is a catch-all category that describes any essay where you thoroughly expose the inner workings of a topic and teach the reader something new.
In fact, this blog post could be considered an informal expository essay.
Usually, your teacher will ask you to write an expository essay to prove that you have done your research on a subject. Your goal is to effectively explain what a reader needs to know about the topic and answer relevant and interesting questions.
For the purpose of this blog post, let's say we are writing an expository essay on the evolution of Donald Trump's hair (I grabbed this idea straight from Crystal's blog post about expository writing – if you haven't read it yet, you should hop over there now. I'll wait).
My goal in this expository essay is to expose interesting information about the topic through the revelation of factual evidence.
To avoid the daunting stare of the blank page, and to make sure that your information is organized, always start with an outline.
Expository Essay Outline Structure
There is more than one way to pattern an expository essay, including sequential, spatial, topical, and many other patterns. Since we're writing about the evolution of Donald Trump's hair, we'll use a chronological pattern that will expose how Trump's hair has evolved over time.
Here's how the general structure will look:
Let's break this expository essay outline down into its parts.
Expository Essay Outline: Introductory Paragraph
1. Start with a hook sentence to get your readers' attention. Remember, your hook should be both interesting and directly related to your topic.
My hook might be "Is billionaire Donald Trump's spectacularly bad hair real or fake?" By posing such a salient question right off the bat, I am encouraging readers to continue reading.
Seriously, haven't you always wondered?
2.Provide background and context for the topic.Don't assume your readers know anything about Trump or his hair (as one of my English professors once taught me, to assume makes an ass out of u and me).
For example, "Donald Trump is an American real estate mogul and media personality. In 2012, he ran for President of the United States. Trump is currently worth 3.9 billion dollars, but aside from his business success, he is best known for his amazingly bad hair."
3.Identify the question or thesis. Here's where you get to the point of your essay.
My thesis might be, "This essay will reveal how Donald Trump's hair has changed over the years, and it will answer whether his mop is the real deal or a weird wig."
(If your expository essay takes an argumentative stance, you might want to check out these examples of argumentative thesis statements with a more serious tone.)
Expository Essay Outline: Body Paragraphs
Now that you've caught your readers' attention, brought them up to speed on the basics, and laid out your thesis statement, your body paragraphs are set up to offer a deeper investigation into your topic.
The exact number of body paragraphs you incorporate will depend entirely on the parameters of your assignment and/or topic. My example includes four body paragraphs.
Each body paragraph should include the following elements:
- A topic sentence that gives the main idea for your paragraph.
- Factual evidence that answers your question or supports your thesis. In my example, I've incorporated two pieces of factual evidence for each topic, but your essay may use more or fewer.
- Your analysis of said evidence. This is where you dig in with your commentary on the importance of the evidence.
- A good transition sentence to weave your essay together. I'm not going to dig into transitions in this article, but you can read these posts on transition sentences and transition words.
Because we are dividing the text into a chronological pattern, each body paragraph in this expository essay outline will divide the evolution of Trump's hair into a timeline, beginning with his youth and ending with his golden years.
It's a hairvolution!
I. Topic 1: Trump's Hair – childhood to 17
a. Fact 1 – Family photos show Trump as a fair-haired blonde boy with a side part
b. Fact 2 – As a child, Trump's hair could be considered normal, even attractive. Trump's mom, Elizabeth, said, "My Donny was such a cute kid with the prettiest head of hair I've ever seen."
c. Analysis – Trump's hair wasn't always so weird; he started out as a normal child with a normal head of hair growing up in Queens, New York.
II. Topic 2: Trump's Hair – young man, ages 18-30
a. Fact 1 – Military photos show that Trump's hair was starting to exhibit some elaborate coiffing featuring a soft side sweep.
b. Fact 2 – Trump's classmate, Fred Dunst, at the New York Military Academy said, "Trump always had the nicest, fullest head of hair. Why he started wearing it in that swoop will always be beyond me."
c. Analysis – Trump's hair was beginning its migration from normal to bizarre, but the transition wasn't complete. Evidence shows that Trump has always had a penchant for outlandish dos.
III. Topic 3: Trump's Hair – his prime, ages 31-59
a. Fact 1 – At the height of Trump's career, his hair evolved into a poof formation beginning to resemble the hair we know today.
b. Fact 2 – Trump's eyebrows had also begun to grow out of control–almost at the same rate as his growing assets.
c. Analysis – It's certainly conceivable that Trump began to wear his signature hairstyle as a way to conceal the beginnings of male pattern baldness. His out-of-control eyebrows and coiffure indicate that his mind is more focused on business and less on his appearance.
IV. Topic 4: Trump's Hair – his golden years, age 60+
a. Fact 1 – Trump's signature side sweep has officially swept the nation. Bruce Handy for Vanity Fair writes that Trump's hair is most likely the result of a rare and unsightly "double comb-over."
b. Fact 2 – Trump denies allegations that his hair is a badly styled toupee in a Tweet.
c. Analysis –While many accuse Trump of fooling us all with a poorly styled wig, evidence points to the fact that his hair is the real deal. Trump recognizes that his hair is imperfect, but seems self-assured in his statement that's it's his–much like Trump Books, Trump Model Management, Trump Shuttle, Trump Ice, Trump Mortgage, Trump Vodka, and Trump Steaks are all his too.
Expository Essay Outline: Concluding Paragraph
Finally, it's time to write your concluding paragraph. In this paragraph, you can do any of the following:
1. Summarize your question or thesis. "Trump's hairvolution, much like the growth of his business empire, has been nothing short of extraordinary."
2. Discuss the larger significance of the topic. For example, "Could bad hair be an indication of wealth? Maybe future research will compare the hair of billionaires, such as Liliane Bettencourt and Warren Buffet."
3. Reveal unanswered questions. "While Trump's hair definitely appears to be his own, there is still question about whether the strange, yellow color comes from a bottle. After all, shouldn't the man be gray by now?"

The film begins with the escape of Kales Leadingham (David Argue) from a lunatic asylum. He evades the warders, scales a wall and sits by a girl at a bus stop – at which point he commences to tell his tale. A tale of his younger days when, to make ends meet, he was a surveyor. His job took him to a 'disused' movie lot, where he was supposedly surveying the property for owners EB (Esben Storm) and PB De Woolf (Arna-Maria Winchester).
Around this time the Dingo Girl (Amanda Dole) came back to civilisation – via Bondai Beach it seemed – and headed to the studio. Being a Dingo Girl she spent much of the film in various states of undress. The de Woolfs were her parents – though EB mistakes her as an aspiring actress and tries to have his way with her. PB recognises her as the girl she abandoned in the desert (at God's urging).
The studio is home to many a strange creature/character including a pair of incestuous Nazi lesbian twins (played by Rainee Skinner and Kerry Mack), whose reason for being there is to look after a Hitler clone named Little Adolph (Ashley Grenville). Most of the occupants find a reason to need Dingo Girl and in this case, as she is virginal, the twins want to breed her and Little Adolph.
Of course Kales falls in love with her and also realises that the studio is at an aboriginal dreaming spot. In the meantime the viewer is left wondering just what is happening. We get a wide range of weird characters thrown at us from the moose, which is EB with a moose head stuck on his head for a large chunk of the film, to the vampire cited below.
So... the vampire character... This is the Count (Henk Johannes) and, when we first see him – for about five seconds, he is sucking blood through a straw. We do get references to vampires later, including a line that suggests that "Behind each door (of the lot) lurked blood sucking fiends". If the film had kept his appearances at this I think we might have had too little even for a honourable mention.
However, he makes another appearance later, for a minute or so when he decides she (Dingo Girl) has the 'secret of sacrifice' (no, I didn't get that either) and fights accountant turned ape man Kong (Pete Smith) for her as a bride. The fight uses guitars as a weapon of choice (as clubs and not instruments) and we do not see the conclusion, as such – just the aftermath of Dingo Girl in bed with Kong.
As a side entry to this we should mention Morticia (Mercia Deane-Johns) a witch, it would seem, who is trying to create a formula to remain young and has discovered that she needs to use a foetus not born of man – there was a degree of the Erzsébet Báthory to the character, at least a smidgeon.
Really odd stuff and, trust me, what I have mentioned doesn't even touch the weirdness of the finale. The imdb page is here.

Carrie, a regional sales director at a large pharmaceutical company, feels overwhelmed by change — and understandably so.
In recent months, she has had to pull her team members out of the field to train them on the IT department's new contract management system. She has had to attend training for a new coaching framework the sales training department has introduced. And then there are the new compliance and regulatory changes she has had to communicate and implement, and a new product launch for which she has had to prepare — all in addition to her usual duties.
With this avalanche of change coming at her, how would Carrie possibly make her numbers?
Change from all sides
Carrie's situation is hardly unique. Corporate change has become far more complex and challenging in recent years. In fact, the very nature of change has changed.
Whereas once transformation essentially was a discrete event within an organization championed by a single project team, now managers and teams are pummeled from all sides by a constant stream of sometimes conflicting initiatives. Everyone in the organization is engaged with change and tasked with driving it. All too often, specific initiatives get lost in the frenzy.
As if such chaos wasn't bad enough, change methods themselves have also become more complex. Many consulting firms now present themselves as change experts, and the resulting proliferation of methodologies, tools, templates and frameworks can leave leaders scratching their heads.
How can they ensure that people at all levels are actually doing things differently, so as to obtain the desired results? How can they keep people on track with change long after the project has ended, especially when people are contending with so many competing priorities? Above all, how can they simplify change, making it more manageable?
Start with behavior
In our work with large corporate clients, we've discovered a striking pattern: Organizations that take a behavioral approach succeed more often in driving change. Rather than running themselves ragged trying — and usually failing — to change, these companies focus on just three core elements to ensure that change happens.
First, they work on shifting behavior. Contrary to what some experts claim, changes in mindset — how people think and feel — doesn't consistently translate into lasting behavioral shifts. It works the other way around: If you motivate people to perform the right behaviors and they begin seeing positive results, their perspectives will shift in due course. People have to want to change. Otherwise, they won't do it.
Second, companies that take a behavioral approach define and communicate a case for change that enlists leaders to get behind behavior change. Because behavior change is so scary for people, strong leadership is key.
Companies must help leaders understand and align with the change, define the few, critical behaviors that people must perform if the change is to succeed and remove key obstacles to change. Companies must also teach leaders the science behind getting behavior change and coach them on how to apply it.
Third, companies that adopt a behavioral approach work on adjusting consequences to support desired behaviors. Leaders must put motivational reinforcers in place (such as feedback, recognition and rewards) to ensure that people are consistently adopting and demonstrating new behaviors. Leaders don't need fancy tools or systems to reinforce behavior. Rather, they can rely on tools that already exist, like one-on-ones, email, text messaging, Skype, survey monkey and instant messaging.
If your organization is struggling with change, begin with behavior. Ask yourself: What must people do differently, and how will you know if they've altered their habits? What support will people need in order to adopt different behaviors? Are we confusing people with conflicting priorities?
Then move on to preparing your leaders, clearly articulating priorities and defining what they need to do to support behavior change. Equip them with a compelling case for change, and hold them accountable for seeing change through.
Finally, create a plan for precisely how leaders will reinforce behavior change. What will they do to recognize people for behaving in desired ways? How will they celebrate organizational progress?
Change may occur constantly in your organization, but it doesn't have to be chaotic or overwhelming. With a behavioral approach in hand, you can simplify conflicting priorities, align the organization and chart a clearer path to lasting, meaningful change.

|Heavy rains on Good Friday in Mangagoy, Surigao.
For months, Mindanao has been experiencing heavy rains. My friends and I were talking about how different the weather is right now, compared to how it was before. For instance, during holy week, it's normally super hot all over the Philippines. It tells us that summer is just around the corner. But this year, we were in Surigao. And it rained on and off on Good Friday! That's just not normal. Not at all...
We don't have typhoons in Davao. The downtown areas get flooded though during heavy rains because of poor drainage system.
But flashflood, that's just impossible. That's why when it happened, everybody was surprised. Of course, it happened so fast, that the victims were not prepared. Hence, the death toll rose to 25 people and 15 people were missing. I was told that some bodies were found in Samal island.
Horror stories were shared to us by some victims. One of those deeply troubled me. She said that when the flood happened, the lights went off. It was so dark , they couldnt see anything. All they can hear of was the raging sound of the water. She also told us that her neighbor's son fell in the water. The father of course swam in the river to try to save his son. But both of them died. Hearing that from somebody who encountered such a tragedy was like being stabbed in the heart. I simply cannot imagine what I would do, faced with the same situation. I realized how lucky I am that I live on a higher ground...
Yesterday, we went to visit Matina Pangi. The people here suffered worst than most. I was so sad with what I saw. :( I have no words for it. So I'll share with you the photos I took...
|A multicab and a pick up, under the house.
|Another car , on the road...
|This house came from somewhere else.
|Talomo River, after the flashflood. It looks so small now, but it was so deep it overflowed in the bridge.
As I write this, it's raining again. As I said, this has been going on and off for 6 months now. This is probably the effect of the global warming. Filipinos call this phenomenon, El Nina. And since most of our mountains have been "harvested" by the loggers, nothing can stop the water anymore.
A few people got rich, and a lot of people has to suffer for their irresponsible action.
So in the meantime, those who live in the lowlands will just have to deal with the consequences of someone else's actions...
I looked at our window, the wind is blowing and it's still raining hard. I can hear our roof pounding... But this is nature, there's nothing you and I can do. Except, pray that God will spare us from more flashfloods.
Davao River is bigger than Talomo river. When I passed by there this morning, the water was higher than normal. I guess, it's raining in the mountains too. Again.
I am thinking, where will the water go? Davao River is a continuation of Agusan River. Can you imagine if that will overflow? There's a 2000 hectare of marshland in Agusan. Where will all those water go?
It's time to pray. That's the most important thing that we , Davaoenos, can do... For God to spare us from more tragedies.
It's time to clean up the garbages. The ones in the rivers and the ones that clog the drainage system.
It's time to fix and upgrade our drainage systems. This has been an old issue , so I am hoping that whatever plan the LGU has will be implemented soon.
And it's time to plant more trees..
(Sidenote: For those who want to help the victims, you may bring rice, old clothes, canned goods, shoes, bags for the school kids, whatever have you, in our office. It's Allea Real Estate. Door B Tropicana Bldg., Km. 7 Lanang, Davao City, Philippines. Telephone No. 082-3051651.)

Format : jpg/jpeg.
The most important thing about these math worksheets is that they are used for tutoring and not for the main course studies. That is why they are used by tutors to offer remedial tuition and by parents at home so that they can offer their kids extra tuition to sharpen their skills.
With a packed curriculum and the increased emphasis on testing, our children are taught tons of procedures - but procedures disconnected from when to use them, and why. Sustained thinking - the key ingredient to math success - is painfully absent in too many math classes.
When patterns are found, often in widely different areas of science and technology, the mathematics of these patterns can be used to explain and control natural happenings and situations. Mathematics has a pervasive influence on our everyday lives, and contributes to the wealth of the individual.

Firstly, let me just say, if you haven't
Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats
before, this album,
The Night Creeper
will officially floor you. You'll gasp for
breath as the fuzzy guitar chords hit you like a galloping black
stallion. Track 1, Waiting for Blood sounds like someone
has handed you a long forgotten or never discovered heavy rock
LP from the late '60s or the early '70s and turned it up full
volume before you've had a chance to find out what the fuck is
going on!!! The vocals are a harmony mutation of
(incidentally the band supported
Black Sabbath in 2013)
Mercury Rev! That damn good!!!! If you like
stoner rock, doom metal, '70s rock, horror vibes or simply a
sludging good hurling noise,
Uncle Acid's
The Night Creeper is the one!!!!
There's something to be said about a band
who, like stoner band,
Sleep, on their album,
Dopesmoker, have created a certain sound which is hard to
capture unless you use certain instruments and have a certain
mind set.
Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats had dropped a
handful of albums prior (Mind Control is recommended
because it's a brilliant concept tale of a cult leader) but none
so grinding as
The Night Creeper. The album sleeve is so
British (the band are from Cambridge, UK) with it's morose
traditional 'Bobby on the Beat' in black and red, but then the
inner pages read visually like a Dead Kennedy's booklet.
Snippets and photographs depicting X Rated shows, 3D Glasses,
Devil Horns, Benny Hill... it's so much to take in one go!!!
The Night Creeper is a
stroll through Soho or 42nd Street in the good old
days. The opening words grab you: There's a man who's just
been waiting here all night long, As he watches you he's smiling
there all alone, He needs something better but he knows you're
on your own! It's sheer menace, it's a slow burning
emotional ride. By the time you're on track 4, Pusher Man,
with it's gorgeous vocals and backing melodic harmonies, the
album totally has you in its world. Is it the aaaahhhhs which
slur out of the music at certain points? Is it the heavy duty
riffs and slamming drum patterns which almost swallow up the
fragile lead voice as lyrics such as I'm a pusher man, I'll
give her what I can... she will never learn, but that's
alright... which paint a traumatic story and this story
formulates throughout. The Night Creeper has a long coat,
a baggy wide tie, a filthy shirt and a trilby hat. The album
dresses this way as the darkness falls and it walks the streets
and alleys looking for... someone... to... look at...
Yellow Moon kind of sits in the dead
centre and is an interlude. A beautiful quietly laden
instrumental and then Melody Lane arrives, and it's back
to the black sludge and filth. I staggered on my way home
past leering eyes and taunting voices, as blood drips from my
flesh wound I knew my thoughts would scream in terror...
Kevin Starrs is the man, and on this album he
performs vocals, lead guitars, bass, and organs. He simply knows
how to fuse together a mind fuck of an LP. Behind this wall of
noise is Yotam and Itamar Rubinger -- backing guitars and drums
respectively. If there's a downside, the title track goes a more
upbeat direction in its sound (not in its lyrics) which sounds
very out of place and kind of undoes the remains of the album
(though Inside, with its
White Stripes funky sound
tries very hard). However, the last two tracks slow down and
kind of lets you pause and take a steady breath. Black
Motorcade is so stripped bare it's like an acoustic
unplugged session. It all ends with a chilly rain falling on a
pavement somewhere in the night...
Uncle Acid & The Deadbeats
are said to be an absolutely amazing spectacle live and are
promising new material very soon. In the meanwhile, check out
this obscenely retro video for Melody Lane...

|Another special weekend for a group foldies taking part in a re-shoot for a TV programme. We were supposed to get back the same group of people for the re-shoot but some of them just could not made it.
|My early morning request for a decent breakfast at Taman Melawati.
|Our precious bikes chained together as we took care of our tummies.
|A big spread of food served by a big fellow who resembles a Harley rider....
|Off we went to meet the Producer, technical crew & the Director.
|I took the group for a detour to avoid the heavy traffic junction and going through an interesting small Indian community.
|Our meeting point was at the National Zoo.
|A chance of a life time to be shot....hehehe.
|The noise level at the earlier scene wasn't that good we had to move further in and it involved a couple of good climbs. It was a good work out too.
|Sorry Girl I forgot to tell you about the climb but anyway you did fine.
|The interview with the female cyclists ..... their experiences....etc etc.... thumb up!
|Robert putting the best in his interview...he can be a good salesman lor....
|The family cyclists ... another good interview by John & Natalie.
|I like this part of the take, everyone was able to chip in the dialogue. Well done my friends!!!
|So that was fun right Irene....glad you like it.
|Christopher for a black & white in jumbo size.

However you fill or make your pie, the one thing that you must prevent from happening is a soggy pie crust. Not only will this be unappetizing to discriminating taste buds, but a soggy pie crust will not hold the filling very well, either. Here are some tips for keeping your pie crusts from becoming soggy.
The most important tip to remember when baking a pie is to bake the crust beforehand. This is invariably the key step to preventing soggy pie crusts. Preheat your oven to the specified temperature, then bake the pie crust until it is slightly golden brown, which generally takes about 10 minutes or so. Do not over bake the pie crust because it will continue to bake after the filling is added. If you do not want your pie crust to be too brown, you must not overdo this step. Use pie crust weights to keep the crust from bubbling up.
Another key step to preventing soggy crusts is to make sure that your filling is not too wet. There is a big difference between 'wet' and 'gelatinous,' in which case the latter typically describes most pie fillings. For example, if the 'sauce' is too thin, it will most likely make the crust very wet. In this case, you will need to decrease the amount of 'sauce' if you want to leave it thin. If, however, you want to make a thicker, more gelatinous 'sauce,' you can do so without harming the quality of the pie crust. The lesson to remember is that the pie crust is like a towel: it will soak up a lot of the juices from the filling if the juices are too thin.
Some pie crusts can be more susceptible to turning soggy than others. For example, a graham cracker crust that is pre-baked is going to be less susceptible to sogginess compared to a flour-based crust that has also been pre-baked. One way to lessen the susceptibility of a pie crust to sogginess is to make sure that the pie crust itself comes straight from the fridge before handling. It will hold up better in the oven, especially after it has been pre-baked.
Wet, soggy pie crusts are generally unappealing. However, you can prevent your pie crusts from meeting this sad demise if you follow some or all of these tips. You will be able to create a delicious pie that holds its shape during serving.

Previous Chapter | Project Page | Next Chapter
Chapter 152: "Know Your Place (3)"
"I have prepared the antidote, we do not have the exact numbers of people poisoned, hence I prepared enough for everyone. After all the Rui Lin Army soldiers have taken the antidote, get them to deliver it into the hands of everyone."
The poison spread over a very wide area, and Jun Wu Xie was unable to provide a diagnosis for everyone, so it was decided to have everyone take the antidote, which would be more efficient.
"Consider it done."
"I assume I do not have to tell you how to do it?" the cold eyes looked at Long Qi expectantly.
"I will not disappoint you!" Long Qi replied resolutely.
On the day after the exploding bodies, more people fell sick. With the physicians clueless on where to start, the people started to panick.
On that same afternoon, a notice was put up all over the city. The people who read it were furious and the news spread like wildfire to all corners of the city.
The culprits who have been hiding in the city have not given up the fight and have used poison to spread fear in the Imperial City. The fifty exploding bodies the day before was caused by the poison that they used.
Within moments, the people were cursing and swearing everywhere in the city and people with family members taken ill from the poison were sobbing with worry.
While panic ran high among the people, the Crown Prince Mo Qian Yuan brought the Rui Lin Army out, and handed out the antidote to the masses, a concoction in a tiny bottle, that neutralises the poison in their bodies.
Eighty thousand of the Rui Lin Army were deployed, incessantly handing the antidote into the hands of the people. Those afflicted with the poison saw instant improvements after they consumed the antidote and in half a day, word of Mo Qian Yuan's gesture of kindness was on the lips of everyone, singing his praises in deep gratitude. On this day, the Crown Prince's standing and popularity shot high beyond the clouds, support for him even overshadowing the current sitting Emperor.
A state of emergency was again declared, and those who were resistant to the initial lock down of the city had by now hated the perpetrators to the core and became fully supportive of the Rui Lin Army.
The people were in a fervour, not only the Crown Prince had his reputation drastically raised, but the Rui Lin Army were now embraced as the protectors of the people.
The scheme that could have annihilated the whole of the Imperial City was foiled cauldron by cauldron, with Jun Wu Xie's antidote that the Rui Lin Army distributed bottle by bottle into the hands of the people that neutralised the poison in their bodies, totally eradicating this threat to the Imperial City.
The speed at which this was carried out did not allow time for the news to reach the Imperial Palace. Besides the initial fifty deaths on the first day, there were no other casualties from the poison.
In order to identify the culprits' hideout, the Rui Lin Army investigated into the identities of the fifty dead. They were blown to bits and it was impossible to investigate based on their looks. They started to investigate on families with missing persons.
In the Lin Palace, Jun Qing looked on as Jun Wu Xie busied herself with her pills, his expression thoughtful.
"You had Long Qi declare that the people responsible for the poison were the same culprits still hidden within the Imperial City, what was the purpose of that?" Jun Qing was unable to fathom the intentions of his own niece. With the uproar on the poison, it had given the Rui Lin Army a stronger reason to maintain control in the Imperial City, but Jun Wu Xie did not intend to end the issue here, how far does she intend to bring this?
Jun Wu Xie was still busying herself with the pills as she replied: "Things that have been hidden, naturally must be uncovered."
Jun Qing thought to himself, Jun Wu Xie got the Rui Lin Army to investigate into the identities of the fifty dead with the people. But with the way they died, it was an impossible task. With such a big number of citizens in the city, it will not be easy to find that out, even as missing persons.
"Under normal circumstances, it would have been tough to find out their identities. It is different now. With the people worried about the poison, the people will look into the safety of all their family members, including those members who have been conscripted into public service." Jun Wu Xie explained, a bunch of herbs in her hands.

Yuri Pasholok's answers
some answers from Yuri Pasholok:
About the Maus restoration: the first people who wanted to get Maus moving were some guys from the railway company, who wanted to stuff a diesel-electric locomotive engine into it (which apparently has four times more engine volume than the original Maus). The enthusiasm didn't last long – but the idea was given to Wargaming who jumped on it. The people who approved it however didn't take a couple of small things into account:
– They thought the Maus had some innards but in reality it's just an empty box, there is nothing inside;
– The idea to restore a tank designed by SS members didn't make some people very happy;
– Even if they stuffed the tank with modern engine and drivetrain, it won't go far, because the tracks and suspension are in terrible shape and new tracks alone would cost 180k EUR;
– The notion to put original components into it is a joke, because no German company would touch anything related to WW2, especially to SS.
The best realistic outcome according to Yuri Pasholok would be to make the vehicle look like in reality from the outside (some outer parts are missing such as the fuel tank) and even open the hull for public – it's not like there is anything to steal inside.
– Wargaming itself dealt only a little with Japanese vehicles (only those that were actually built plus tier 7-8), the rest of info came from Japan
– Swedish tanks are somewhat problematic because since the Swedish tanks are interesting mostly only to Swedes, there are no reliable projections (and the existing ones are low quality)
– Swedish branch is completely possible: sp15 and Renhaxue (two players from EU/NA community) are working with WG and they found a lot of info in Swedish archives. Additionally, WG itself is working with Swedish museums (incl. Arsenalen), Yuri wants to personally thank Arsenalen director Stefan Karlsson for his help. There are issues but they are minimal.
– There were rumors that WG disbanded the archive seeking group – in reality it was simply reformed

It is my brother's 40th birthday today. In honour of the occasion, my mother made him a fruit cake, which she asked me to ice.
As not everyone has iced a fruit cake using fondant, I thought that I would show some step by step pictures which, although they may sometimes lead to a scary looking cake at times, contribute to the final smooth result.
Step one - turn your fruit cake upside down so that the bottom becomes the top (it's flatter), then fill any gaps between the serving plate/cake board and the edges of the cake with almond icing:
Step two - plug any holes or uneven parts of the fruit cake with almond icing, smoothing the icing off with your fingers to make the surface of the cake as level as possible:
Brush the surface of the cake with warmed, sieved apricot jam:
Roll out enough almond icing to cover the cake, and smooth over the top of the cake (I didn't have quite enough so my layer is very thin):
Brush the almond icing layer with more warm, sieved jam:
Roll out ready to roll fondant icing to cover the cake and place over the top of the cake and smooth down with your hands, icing smoothers and a palette knife:
There are numerous Youtube videos that demonstrate how to roll out and cover your cake with fondant icing. The key trick is not to roll the icing too thin or it will tear and crack when you put it on the cake - about 3-4mm thick is a good thickness to work with. Also, make sure you have rolled out the fondant so that there is around 2 inches extra around the diameter of the cake - this will help you to smooth it down without pleating or cracking.
I added an edible icing cake topper to decorate the cake:
Unfortunately, try as I might, I could not get the edible image off its backing paper without damaging it, so I simply cut around it and placed it on the cake on its backing paper as a permanent, removable memento for my brother.
On this day in history, Coco Chanel died in 1971 at the age of 87 - here's to the memory of Mademoiselle.

The smart condom can rate your performance in the bedroom and also tell you if you have an STI (sexually transmitted infection).
With over 90,0000 pre-orders of the product at the price of $80.99 (N30,000), you might wonder if the product is as good as it is hyped to be.
But actually the i.Con Smart Condom isn't actually a condom – instead, it is a ring-shaped wearable device that might just like any other sex toy.
So yes, you still have to wear yournormal condom after getting the i.con Smart Condom.
According to the makers, the smart condom is really worth your money, as it boasts of the ability to detect STIs(syphilis and chlamydia), assessbedroom performance and even calculate how many calories you burned during sex. So that means your thrusts, speed, and duration of sex are all recorded.
Everything is connected and sent to your smartphone and you can be able to share that data with friends or even the world.
According to the British Condoms, it is lightweight and water resistant – so you can drop it in the toilet (just joking), it also comes with a nano-chip and Bluetooth capabilities built in.
What Will It Record?
The i.Con Smart Condoms will measure:
- Calories burned during sexual intercourse
- Speed of thrusts
- Total number of thrusts
- Frequency of sessions
- Total duration of sessions
- Average velocity of thrusts
- Girth measurement
- Different positions used
- Average skin measurement
How To Wear It?
The ring is worn at the base of the condom, it is adjustable for size (quite elastic) and can be worn multiple times.
It has an integrated micro USB port so it can be recharged, with each charge lasting about six to eight hours.
It also comes with a one year warranty.
The i.Con is currently in its final stage of testing before its release later this year.
It sounds so great, especially with an STI indicator, but you would still have to buy your normal condoms after spending over N30,000 on this product.
So there you have it.
