Russell Roof Tiles, which has two sites on Nicholson Way and Wetmore Lane in Burton, raised this money, from its participation in the Burton Albion Corporate Five-a-Side Tournament held at the Pirelli Stadium.
A cheque was presented by Ross Hayward, Area Sales Manager at Russell Roof Tiles, last week to Acorn's Business and Community Fundraiser, Taz Baines at the charity's hospice in Birmingham.

Ross said: "Through our Pitching for Pennies initiative, we can ensure our employees are recognised for getting involved with local community causes."
"Acorns is such a vital organisation for the Midlands, providing irreplaceable support and services in its local community. We were pleased to be able to use our company resources and drive to help them continue in their work."

EDITORIAL: Jokela Right Pick for Fitchburg
Though blessed with three outstanding finalists, the School Committee couldn't have found a more uniquely qualified candidate to take over the Fitchburg public schools than its choice, Acting Superintendent Bob Jokela.
Five of the seven school board members selected Jokela over the other educators recommended by the search committee, Fitchburg High School Principal Jeremy Roche and Hopkinton Student Services Director Karen Zaleski.
School board members had thought enough of Jokela's abilities to name him acting superintendent after longtime schools' chief Andre Ravenelle announced his intention last spring to retire in October. Jokela had previously served as assistant superintendent of finance and operations,
Pending successful contract negotiations, Jokela will assume the superintendent's role on July 1.
Jokela mentioned meeting students' social and emotional needs, creating equity across the district's elementary schools, and improving the middle and high schools as top priorities of his administration.
After Monday's vote, School Committee Vice Chair Peter Stephens indicated Jokela possessed the requisite managerial and budgeting experience. That expertise should help him successfully cope with the fiscal challenges Gateway Cities like Fitchburg face.
In the current environment, a superintendent's financial acumen might be more important than knowledge of curriculum and other educational matters. We need only look at the serious funding problems Lowell schools face that led to the firing of School Superintendent Salah Khelfaoui.
School board member Sally Cragin capsulized why Jokela's unparalleled background in the Fitchburg school system made him the right choice. From his time as a student to his managerial roles, "Bob has been an integral part of every aspect of the Fitchburg Public Schools."
We agree, and wish Bob Jokela nothing but success in his new endeavor.
Pro-business climate aids taxpayers
While no homeowner enjoys opening that quarterly tax bill, Leominster residents at least can take consolation in knowing they sustained a lesser hit, thanks to the city's healthy commercial and industrial real estate market.
City councilors on Monday opted to keep the city's single tax, which figures to increase tax bills by $127 annually, based on the median single-family home assessment of $258,300.
That's because while residential values did increase, they were surpassed by both industrial properties, which rose 20 percent, and commercial space, which soared 22 percent.
As a result, industrial properties will likely see a $1,981 increase in average tax bills while commercial tax bills will grow by $3,059.
Maintaining a solid tax base is key to a community's fiscal health. Increased values indicate a desirable community in which to work and live, which means Leominster must be doing something right.
Many cities operate with dual tax rates, which usually place a disproportional revenue burden on businesses. While it's not the only factor, an unfavorable tax climate can discourage businesses from expanding or relocating.
Currently 77 percent of Leominster's taxes come from residential properties while the remaining 23 percent is paid by industrial and commercial properties.
There are only two certainties in life -- but only one we can control. Sound municipal management attuned to its community's quality of life can help minimize tax increases, somewhat.

Wisconsin's Dairyland Power Cooperative and its member cooperatives announced a historic investment in solar energy on Wednesday, unveiling plans to build more than 15 megawatts of new solar energy at 12 locations across Wisconsin . . . Brad Klein, Senior Attorney at the Environmental Law & Policy Center, said the Dairyland announcement sends a strong signal to rural electric cooperatives across the Midwest.
Read more here.
According to the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association, "Member-owned electric cooperatives have nearly 240 megawatts (MW) of solar capacity online or on the drawing board across the country."
The National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) is the national service organization for more than 900 nonprofit rural electric cooperatives and public power districts providing retail electric service to more than 42 million consumers in 47 states and whose retail sales account for approximately 12 percent of total electricity sales in the United States. NRECA's members include consumer-owned local distribution systems — the vast majority — and 66 generation and transmission (G&T) cooperatives, such as the Dairyland Power Cooperative, that supply wholesale power to their distribution cooperative owner-members.
Wisconsin electric cooperative to procure power from 15 MW of solar PV, by Christian Roselund, pv magazine. Wisconsin currently only has around 25 MW of installed PV, which means that this 15 MW will increase the state's installed solar capacity by 40%.
Dairyland Power Cooperative Invests Heavily in Solar Energy, by Hope Kirwin, Wisconsin Public Radio. Dairyland's Business Development Manager Craig Harmes said the new facilities will use sun-tracking technology instead of the typical fixed array.

Four fully-armed policemen with a police car, Nissan Hardbody, with the Registration Number GP 4348 have allegedly robbed the 1st Vice Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Awutu Senya East Constituency, Mr Darkwa at gunpoint.
The incident occurred around 11:45 pm Tuesday during which they took away his white Daewoo Matiz car with registration number GW 1808-13 and an undisclosed amount of money.
Chairman Darkwa who is a spare parts dealer at Abossey Okai explained to Adom Newsthat he was coming from Accra and upon reaching his junction near Kasoa New Market on the Kasoa-Obom road the armed policemen overtook him and stopped in front of his car.
"They pointed a gun at me, pulled me out and sped off with my car and my entire sales for the day," the distraught politician narrated.
He has, therefore, called on the Inspector General of Police to come to his aid by instituting an investigation into the alleged robbery.
The Municipal Chief executive for Awutu Senya East, Michael Mensah, has expressed his shock at the incident and has advised Ghanaians to be vigilant because some policemen are involved in robbery cases.

DKIM, also known as DomainKeys Identified Mail, is a form of email authentication that digitally signs emails to prove that they were sent from authorized domains and aren't fake emails. Companies like Google and Yahoo use DKIM to sign their emails and it is becoming ever more popular.
VPOP3 v6.15 and later support DKIM encryption.
To be able to do this yourself, you need to have access to the DNS server for your domain. This might be your own DNS server, or one provided by your domain registry.
Now you need to generate a public key to put into a TXT record for your domain. To do this, search for a DKIM key generator, like http://dkimcore.org, and enter the domain you want to put DKIM onto. This will generate a public key and a private key, and also a selector. The selector will look something like <number>.<domain name>.
On the DNS server, create a new TXT record, with a host name of the <selector>._domainkey.<domain name> - for instance 1532654.example._domainkey.example.com. Copy the public key from the key generator, and paste it into the TXT record's data. Remember to remove the speech marks and any spaces in the key. Apply the changes on the DNS server.
Now you need to sort out the private key. Copy the private key (including the BEGIN/END lines) and paste it into a text editor, like notepad. This document needs to be saved into the VPOP3 directory, as a file called domainkey_<domain name>_<selector>.key (e.g. domainkey_example.com_1532654.example.key).
Now go onto VPOP3 and click the Services tab, and SMTP Server, then click the spam reduction tab. Once there, change the DKIM Signing box to All Local Senders, and add the selector to the DKIM Selector box. Then click Submit.
Now, when you send a message through your VPOP3 server from the appropriate domain, VPOP3 will generate a DKIM signature for the message.
If you can send mail from several different domains, just have several different domainkey_…..key files in the VPOP3 directory and VPOP3 will choose between them as appropriate. If there isn't a domainkey_…..key file for a particular sender, then VPOP3 will not generate a DKIM signature for that message.

Sunday Sports Wrap - April 27, 2008
The biggest deal in sports today is the remaining rounds of the NFL draft. It's great that this event is finally here. Certainly fans must be tired of seeing the segments on the NFL Network that have beaten this subject to death. Especially insightful are those that show their production meetings. Yeah, exciting stuff…
The Los Angeles Dodgers play the Colorado Rockies today and are looking for a series sweep. Of course, if you are one of those fans who like to catch their batting practice; don't bother unless you have an expensive ticket. Apparently, Dodgers BP is now only open to fans that have baseline, dugout, or Stadium Club tickets. Even if you have field box, you have to stand outside of the gate and have the security guards treat you like dirt until they decide to let the commoners in. Thanks so much Frank McCourt for continuing to place a happy day at Chavez Ravine out of reach for all but the elitists that you are trying to cater to. To further rub it in our faces, most of the dugout and baseline seats were empty last night – as they always are. Since I can remember, the stadium was open to all for Dodgers batting practice. The change in policy this year is absolutely infuriating.
Update: After writing this post, I filled out the "contact us" page at the Dodgers' website and told them how I felt. I included my contact information and, to my surprise, they called me this afternoon and apologized for how I was treated. They also said that the fans should have been let in two hours early as they always have been although worded it in such a way that I'm not so sure that is what they meant. I am delighted they called and appreciate that they are at least listening to what fans are saying. Let's see what happens...
The weather is nice almost everywhere so may I suggest that you get out and enjoy it? Participate rather than be a spectator today – or if you are a spectator, why not watch some surfing or beach volleyball while you enjoy the outdoors? Don't live near a beach? Go hiking, skating, bicycling, or just take a long walk! Let me know what you did!

Wow, I am surprised they actually called. That shows something on their part.
I like the today in sports history section. You should do that more often.

Yeah - I'm wiping the grudge off of my face as we speak!
Thanks for the input about sports history - I enjoy researching it as well and do add it every Sunday when there is not a Breakers post. I'll try to include more!

Cancer is the term used for diseases in which damaged cells divide without control and can penetrate into the tissue of other organs. Cancer cells can spread to other tissues via blood and lymph. Cancer - it is not just one disease, this set of diseases. There are more than a hundred different types of cancer. Almost all cancers are named after the type of cell or organ in which they are formed.

However, various studies in this area have shown that certain risk factors that increase the likelihood that a person will start to develop cancer. The most encountered risk factors for cancer: aging (most cancers occur in people older than 65 years); tobacco (smokers are more at risk than non-smokers lung cancer, oral cavity, larynx, esophagus, kidney, bladder, throat, stomach, pancreas, cervix or prostate cancer); sunlight; some chemical and other substances; ionizing...

Some types of cancer can be detected before they cause symptoms. Checking for cancer (or for conditions that can trigger the development of cervical cancer) of people who have no symptoms is called screening. Screening helps doctors find and treat certain types of cancer in the early stages. Generally, cancer treatment is more effective if the disease is detected at the initial stage. Screening tests are widely used to test the breast cancer, uterus, colon and rectum: 1. Chest: mammography - is the best tool with which doctors diagnose breast cancer in its early stages....

Breast cancer (breast) - a cancer in which form and develop in the tissues of the breast cancer (malignant) cells. Most encounters a type of breast cancer (breast) is ductal carcinoma, which begins to develop in the cells of the ducts. Cancer that begins to develop in the lobules is called lobular carcinoma, the most common in both breasts, as opposed to other types of breast cancer. Inflammatory breast cancer (breast) - a rare type of breast cancer in which the breast red, warm and swollen. Health history can affect the risk of onset of breast cancer. Anything that... Read more
Melanoma - it is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells develop in skin cells called melanocytes. Melanocytes (located in the lower part of the epidermis) produce melanin, the pigment that gives the skin natural natural color. When the skin is exposed to the sun, melanocytes begin to allocate more pigment, causing the skin to tan. The skin is the largest organ of the human body. It protects our body from sunlight, heat, infection and injury. The skin has two main layers: the epidermis (outer layer) and the dermis (lower or inner layer). There are 3 types of skin... Read more
Pancreatic tumor is at position 4 among malignant tumors arising in the gastrointestinal tract, and is two to three percent of all cancers.

Cervical tumor - is a common malignancy. In terms of frequency it ranks first among malignant tumors of the reproductive system of women and second among all cancer diseases in women. The frequency of the incidence of uterine body cancer depends on the age of the woman: the risk of developing the disease increases two to three times for every five years of reproductive age; The peak incidence occurs in the 60-70 years old.

In the event of malignant cells, the tumor develops slowly enough and can not be changed and do not increase in size for several years. But as with any cancer is dangerous and can metastasize throughout the body. Classification of malignant tumors is dependent on the shape of the tumor and what character placement and malignant cells are glandular... Read more

In a recent post on Catholic apologist website Strange Notions, priest and amateur movie critic Fr Robert Baron discusses a number of concerns he has with the kind of arguments he encounters on YouTube. One of his complaints is the heresy of "scientism" which Barron defines both as:
Matter, or the universe as a totality, or the big bang, or "energy" is an adequate explanation of all that is.
… the philosophical position that reality is restricted to what the empirical sciences can measure.
These two quotes represent very different ideas. The first awkwardly describes "materialism" which is a real philosophical position that simply defines the cosmos (all that there "is") as being all that can be empirically detected, matter/energy. (However, it does not say that the cosmos itself is an explanation.) Materialism is a view that I share, but it is a complicated and challenging subject into which I will not digress here.
"Scientism" is a controversial subject that can have a variety of meanings. What is being described as "scientism" in Barron's second quote is, I think, a straw man. It is an approach to knowledge that no one really holds to, and is used to suggest that scientific criticisms of religious apologetics are somehow anemic.
Science-Based Knowledge
First we need to define science and science-based knowledge as opposed to evidence-based knowledge. "Science", in this context, refers to a body of knowledge that is accumulated as a result of the most rigorous process of scrutiny ever developed by humanity. It means coming up with a hypothesis to test, testing it with observation, subjecting it to peer-review, and (this is key) waiting for it to be replicated and it fitting within the rest of scientific findings. Only then do we say it has become established scientifically. YouTuber and science journalist Potholer54 is a great resource for understanding this process, I highly recommend his videos, particularly this one.
Evidence-Based Knowledge
Evidence-based knowledge is does not require peer review or replication. It only requires there to be empirical data that makes logical sense to support a claim. This is how judges reach legal decisions. It is also how most people get along in daily life. We see a bus in the distance with the number 86 on it. We accept that this is the very same bus that will take us to a certain location, and based on our observations of past events, bus route maps etc., we get on the bus. We do not wait for our observation of the number on the bus, or the existence of the bus itself to be subjected to peer-review and to be replicated by independent study. We are not certain as we could be if these things had been done, but we can risk it in this context.
Our confidence in science-based and evidence-based knowledge is only as strong as the evidence supporting the claim. What science gives us is a process by which to say something is as well-supported as possible. A single study passing peer-review is not considered to be scientifically established. A theory that has multiple studies replicating and it consistent with other scientifically well-established theories is said to be scientifically established.
In other words, we can be most confident in science-based knowledge and we require this level of knowledge to say that drugs are safe or that a bridge not collapse. We don't require it to reach decisions in court or in many academic disciplines. These however do require a basis in evidence and reason as opposed to positions we take on a whim, speculation, wishful thinking, suspicion, or, I daresay, faith. These latter positions can be fun to take when the stakes are low or to brainstorm ideas to test and see if they are accurate. But we must accept that there is no reason to say they will be reliable absent some other means of supporting them.
Scientism is a Straw Man
To the extent that Fr Barron's first quote points to materialism, he is wrong to suggest that its challenge to theism is fallacious. But this is not the "scientism" that is reflected in his second quote. What I think he is reacting to there, are is rhetorical statements that may suggest that only science-based knowledge should be considered as a basis to support any argument. Barron does not provide us with examples, but I too have noticed this in discussions and debates between theism apologists and their adversaries. I think these exchanges go something like this:
Apologist: God must exist because the Big Bang proves the Universe had a beginning, and a timeless, space-less, all-good intelligent designer must have started it all.
Counter Apologist: This is an argument from ignorance. We do not know what caused the Big Bang. You are just speculating. We accept the Big Bang theory because of science, we have no science establishing anything pre-Big Bang.
Apologist: You seem to think only science can establish such knowledge?
Counter Apologist: Of course!
Apologist: That's "scientism" you are being fallacious for ignoring the knowledge that isn't scientifically established.
Counter Apologist: Well I trust science not faith.
The Apologist in this case walks away thinking the other is requiring a standard of proof that is too high. Silly, he thinks, only applying this standard would be paralyzing, no one could ever use the bus routes!
The Counter Apologist walks away thinking the other accepts things with no evidence at all, based on wishful thinking and speculation. Silly, he thinks, if this were the case we would just ignore the evidence and get on random buses with the faith that they would go where we want to get!
What is missing is the option of evidence-based knowledge. If the Counter Apologist had responded something like the following, I think dialogue could have continued more productively:
Apologist: You seem to think only science can establish such knowledge?
Counter Apologist: Of course not, but I thought you were setting a scientific standard of proof by alluding to the Big Bang theory. I think we can agree that science has not established anything pre-Big Bang, but I don't think there is any evidence or reason to make any claims about "before" the Big Bang. We just don't know, you are still making an argument from ignorance.
And so on.
Yes, I think I have heard Richard Dawkins and Lawrence Krauss say things along the lines of the "scientism" alluded to by Barron in the second quote above. But I think they really mean a materialist approach, one that relies on evidence, reason and critical thinking but does not necessarily require the peer-review and replication of science-based knowledge.
On the other hand, the complaint of scientism is generally a straw man. Unless someone can point me to a serious attempt by someone to defend it, as defined here, I think we can easily deal with it by a brief discussion on the distinction between science-based and evidence-based knowledge as opposed to faith-based, or inspired knowledge.
PS: In drafting this on WordPress, the blog post below has popped up as "related content". As you can see if you read it, it defends science, not scientism, as defined here.

At last! Our ZONA book 'This Beast of Unknown Kind' is available for you to listen to!
This is very unusual book, you should read it! And we decided to release it as audiobook first, then a week later – as digital book and in September finally everyone gets a print version.

"Zharkovsky impressed me quite a lot. If you think it`s another s.t.a.l.k.e.r or "Picnic by the Road" remake, it`s not. No s.t.a.l.k.e.r at all! It`s very simple and very elegant solution, lying in plain view, but you need to have an extraordinary sense of the coming future to make the main character so strong and unique".

The road mapping talent of predictive analytics
If you know what's going to happen next, it would be incredibly easy to be successful. So far, predictive analytics is the closest we've been able to come to know the future. In short, if you have a deep wealth of data on a particular audience, analyze all that data to find patterns, and organize it in a way that can be acted on, you can then predict the possible outcomes.
This particular brand of AI is often favored by marketers to assess the validity of advertising, media, and traditional campaigns. The more data you have on your subject the more accurate your predictions are too. Traditionally, statistical analysis, product modeling, market demographics, and data sellers have been the biggest proponents of predictive analytics.
However, in recent years, machine learning techniques have been used with great success. As with any machine learning application, there is not a universally accepted algorithm to use. Instead, the type of data analyzed and the type of predictions you want both heavily influence the right algorithm for your needs.
In one case, you may want to implement an AI to monitor your supply chain to detect shortages, delays, or other potential issues. A completely different function may be to identify marketplace trends and capitalize on them in the future. A few common algorithms used elsewhere in the field of predictive analytics include support vector machines (SVM), k-nearest neighbors, and neural networks.
Aside from the knowledge gained and time saved, an AI can crunch vast amounts of data much faster than a human. It can then find those common threads to hone in on so you can turn your data into actionable intelligence.Blog Author

Technology, Events
Last night we saw 'Round Two' of the DevOps Battle Royale take place at the amazing space in WeWork, Manchester and what a night it was!!
We started off with the amazing team from Hello Soda (Sam Clark and Leanne Fitzpatrick – Docker Champions) talking to us about Docker from both an Infrastructure and a Data Science angle, which was both enlightening and informative. Then my collaborators from Infinity Works put forward one of their technical experts (Marcell Jusztin) to represent Serverless and he talked about an abundance of features and presented some of his case studies touching on both the pros and cons of running a serverless environment.
Infinity Works have put together a video with all the talks and slides from the night if you wanted to re-visit any parts of the battle, follow the link (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9VTHTC3WE0)
We then broke into our groups where the great debate began, there were some excellent points raised from everyone around the room and it was obvious to see that although many people did have a favoured tool, you could use Docker and Serverless and be able get the best out of them both simultaneously depending on your project.
Although the outcome was that both tools are amazing for different things, we still wanted to see who would walk away as the champion. The votes came in and it was very close but (drum roll…) the community has spoken and Serverless was the preferred tool on the night. As mentioned, both tools are very respected in the community and the real winners are the engineers getting to use them.
We will soon be planning 'Round Three' with talks of a potential three way battle of the clouds happening, so if you wanted to keep up to date with all news and updates join the meetup group now (https://www.meetup.com/The-DevOps-Battle-Royale/)
Thanks to all our speakers and most of all thanks to everyone that came and helped make it a great night.
Looking forward to 'Round Three' … the show must go.

Would not make this again.
I had high hopes for this. Unfortunately the dough component is entirely boring. There's so much here that the whisky flavor is lost in the final product, and the dough doesn't bring any other flavor to it. The dough also suffers from being unbalanced in acidity, so the leavening is poor. The final product is rather like a bunch of dried fruit held together with paper mache'.
I may play with the dough to see if it can be given some flavor and the texture improved. Otherwise, no -I won't be making it again. 2 stars

These are my favorite christmas cookies I make them with the whiskey, for some of my family and friends, and instead of whiskey I use juice, (o.j.; pineapple; apple; etc.} I also have used the candied fruits,instead if raisens,and cherries. Gotta Love It. 5 stars

please do not be concerned about the alcohol content. The whiskey adds flavor, but the alcohol from it is baked out and will not withstand the high temperature of your oven.

text: Leontes's speech in the middle of the statue scene in The Winter's Talemakes a puzzling analogy, put in the form of a conditional proposition. "If this be magic," he says as the statue comes to life, "let it be an art lawful as eating." But why "lawful as eating?", one may ask. What is it about eating, in this context, that makes it a fit term for the comparison Leontes is making, and a completion of Leontes's thought? Is there is a kind of lawfulness to eating, different from or akin to other kinds of lawfulness, to which "magic" of some sort might aspire? What is the meaning and value of "eating" here? The ultimate answer is that eating stands for that which cannot be prohibited, the right to life.

Tired puppy
Not much blog fodder tonight. I've been working very hard on the new book, and it's flowing well - much better than my earlier attempts, when I felt like I'd hit a creative brick wall. I'm approaching 40,000 words, with between 40,000 and 60,000 still to write. So far, so good . . .
The creative process is interesting on this one. It'll involve a great deal of combat action, much more so than any of the Maxwell books so far. I'm drawing on my experiences and memories from South Africa for much of it, and those of other veterans for other bits. It's difficult to adapt some of the scenarios I remember to a futuristic combat environment, but it's by no means impossible, and I think it adds a touch of realism and authenticity that's often missing from military SF. I hope you'll enjoy it when it comes out, particularly the veterans among my readers.
In closing, courtesy of Engrish.com, here's a classic example of 'more bang for your buck'.
There are lots more examples of mangled English at Engrish.com. Fun reading.

Those always make me wonder about the tattoos that some people get. You know the ones I'm talking about. It's a Japanese or Chinese character and it's supposed to mean "x", except it might not. I'd hate to have a tattoo on my arm that is supposed to be "Wisdom" when it really says, "Stupid Gaijin doesn't know Japanese" or "Hot and sour soup, today only."
- May 8, 2014 at 10:44 AM
Shrimp, that's why one of my brothers friends, who knows Chinese and some Japanese, is very popular with the guys wanting tattoos. For $5 he'll give you the meaning of what the tattoo place claims means "mighty warrior" or "wisdom."

5 Ways to Promote a Blog to Drive Immediate Traffic
What is the best way to promote a blog in hopes of driving immediate traffic?
This is a question that many online marketers ponder, day in and day out. While some eventually settle on a strategy, others continue to search for answers.
The more traffic your blog receives the greater chance you have of generating revenue. And like most, this is probably your end goal.
Regardless of what you have done in the past, you can adjust your approach in the future to ensure yourself of better results. This all starts with knowing how to promote your blog.
Below, you'll find five of the best ways to promote a blog with the idea of driving immediate traffic
Social Media
Are you active on Twitter? What about Facebook? How about Instagram and LinkedIn?
Social media is by far one of the best ways to drive traffic to your blog. Even if you don't have a large following, it's good to get into the habit of sharing content on social media. To get started, focus your efforts on the one or two platforms that have the greatest chance of yielding the best results. For example, if you're primarily publishing business related content, LinkedIn is the best place to start. Conversely, if your company sells a product, Instagram deserves a lot of your attention.
Social media takes a lot if time investment to yield results, but there are great tools that can help boost the effect of your efforts. With Start A Fire, you can drive traffic back to your site, even when you're sharing someone else's content on your social channels. This tool works by automatically adding a branded "badge" to any URL.

Influencer Outreach
When was the last time you reached out to influencers in your niche? If you can't answer this question, you now have a strategy to implement in the near future.
You may be surprised at how many people will share your content if you ask. Getting started is as simple as making a list of the top influencers in your space. From there, reach out to them online and via social media.
Your goal is to share your top content in hopes that they will provide feedback and/or share it with their audience. You should also use tools like ClearVoice to identify these influencers and outreach to them.
Guest Posts
There are guest post opportunities in every industry. By taking full advantage of these, you can promote your blog to an audience that truly cares about what you have to say. Some blogs publish guest posting guidelines, making it simple for you to know what to do next. Others, however, keep this private. In this case, you'll have to reach out to the site administrator for more information.
There's no denying the fact that you want to publish high quality content on your blog, but don't overlook the power of guest posting.
Share some of your best content on other websites (in your niche or a related industry) as a means of driving traffic and gaining backlinks.
Go Beyond the Written Word
Your blog will consist primarily of traditional blog posts. For example, this typically includes long form posts of 2k+ words.
But remember this: other forms of content are great for promotion.
An infographic is a good example of this. If you design one of these, sharing useful data with your audience, don't be surprised if it is shared hundreds (or more) of times on social media.
Additionally, interactive content should also be considered. This includes but is not limited to quizzes, games, surveys, and calculators. All of these things add more character and a personal touch to your blog.
Email is Your Friend
Regardless of what you hear, email marketing is not dead. Instead, this remains one of the best ways to drive immediate traffic to your blog.
You have two options with this strategy:
- Send an email to your list (if you have one). You can do this to introduce a new blog post or a piece of interactive content that you know people will love.
- Reach out to others. Do you know of somebody in your space with a large email list? Would they be willing to promote your blog? You'll never know until you ask.
Email marketing continues to grow, so you might as well take advantage when it comes to using this as a blog promotion tool.
There's a long way until your new blog starts to generate revenues and traffic via organic search. Until then, rely on these tactics to drive immediate traffic to your blog.
What other strategies would you add to this list? Do you have experience with any of these?

MANILA--Green Archers United was credited with a 3-0 win after Laos failed to show up in their supposed UFL clash at the Rizal Memorial Stadium on Sunday.
Scheduled for a 7:30 a.m. kickoff, Laos opted to forgo their match-up with GAU, effectively giving the latter the victory.
The reason behind Laos' forfeiture is unknown as of posting.
This is the second time GAU got a forfeiture win this season. Curiously, the first came against Laos' sister team Global when the latter's UFL Cup win was overturned because they fielded an excessive number of foreign players in the said game.- See more at: http://www.dugout.ph/2016/05/laos-forgoes-morning-kickoff-against-gau.html#sthash.dIAf7u1S.dpuf

The father of the Swedish Queen, Walther Sommerlath, took part in the expulsion of Jews from the German business sector. In April 1939, he bought a metal engineering plant in the Kreuzberg neighbourhood of Berlin. The previous owner was a Jewish engineer who, now destitute, had to leave Germany shortly afterwards. The Royal Court of Sweden declines to comment these new facts from the Swedish investigative documentary show Kalla Fakta broadcast by TV4.
In the TV documentary series "Bernadotte", broadcast by TV4 earlier this year, the Queen confirmed that her father, in fact, had been a member of the German Nazi Party. However, she also said that he was not politically active, and that claims of his engineering plant being part of the munitions industry are false. Kalla Fakta has asked the Queen to consider a new interview, but HRH has declined to comment further on this matter. The Queen's brother, Ralph de Toledo Sommerlath, has said that he once asked his father if the former owner of the plant in Berlin was Jewish. Walther Sommerlath denied that this was the case.
Walther Sommerlath, born in Heidelberg in 1901, joined the German Nazi Party on December 1, 1934. A resident of São Paulo at the time, Sommerlath became a member of the "Ortsgruppe", a local chapter of the Party, in what was known as the "Auslands-Organisation" of the NSDAP, its official organization for Germans abroad. Nothing is known about to what extent he personally took part in any political activities, but the activities of this chapter of the Nazi Party abroad have, in recent years, been investigated by Brazilian historians.
As the Brazilian historian Ana Maria Dietrich makes clear, only the most dedicated Germans joined the Party – there were several other ways to prove allegiance to Germany. The NSDAP-AO-group in São Paulo is not known for any violent excesses. However, its weekly newspaper, the Deutscher Morgen, was no less extreme in its Antisemitism than any publications in Germany. The São Paulo chapter, which in 1937 had more than 700 members, also organised elaborate festivities at the Day of Work, May 1st, at Sportplatz Germania, where the arena was painstakingly decorated to resemble the "Reichparteitagen" rallies in Nürnberg. Like other local chapters, the one in São Paulo also tried to influence other German organisations, in order to spread a uniformly positive view of the National Socialist regime in Germany. It also attempted to influence the curricula of the German schools, which by all accounts was successful in one case, the school in Vila Mariana. Walther Sommerlath worked for the Brazilian affiliate of the German steel corporation Röchling-Buderus, a company that provided the local chapter of the Party and its newsletter with financial support. He was also a member of the Sportclub Germania and the Deutsche Schule.
In April 1938, Walther Sommerlath and his family moved to Germany and he started working for the company HQ in Völklingen, located in Saarland, in southernmost Germany. At that time, the family consisted of Sommerlath's Brazilian wife, Alice de Toledo, and their sons Ralph and Walther Jr. He worked for Röchling-Buderus in Völklingen for nearly a year. In April 1939, Sommerlath went to Berlin, where he bought a small engineering plant located on Wassertorstrasse 14, Kreuzberg, in downtown Berlin: the Wechsler & Hennig Metallwaren- und Apparatefabrik. The deal was conducted at the local Deutsche Bank office on Oranienstrasse 140-142. The purchase price is not known, since the Deutsche Bank invokes the bank secrecy clause.
However, it is clear that the owner of the business was under heavy pressure. As far back as in 1935, his German citizenship had been taken away, and in December 1938, the now-former owner of the plant was ordered by the police to leave the country immediately. Before he was allowed to leave, however, he also had to pay the "Reichsfluchtssteuer", a confiscatory tax levelled at wealthy people who left Germany, and the so called "Sühneleistung", another confiscatory tax aimed at the Jews after the so called "Kristallnacht", the 1938 pogrom. Shortly after the purchase, on May 26, 1939, he left Germany for Brazil on board the steamer Antonio Delfino.
It is not known whether Walther Sommerlath used his membership in the NSDAP to earn any advantages for the purchase or not, but at this point, in the final phase of the so called "Aryanisation", there is no doubt that members of the NSDAP had great advantages. The firm he bought was very prosperous before the war and had, by 1938 – under the leadership of its former, Jewish, owner – acquired a contract with the munitions industry. In 1943, when the plant manufactured parts for the air defence forces, its workforce consisted of 38 people.
In March 1947, Walther Sommerlath once more left Germany for Brazil, accompanied by his family, which now included Hans-Jörg, born in 1942, and Silvia, born in 1943. Sommarlath never went through a denazification process, and never compensated the former owner for any losses he concurred as result of the sale of his plant back in 1939.

About Me
- mysteryhistorymom
- Mysteries, polka dots, California Rolls, TJ Maxx, cozy blankets, rainy days and getting the first spoonful of peanut butter out of the jar make me smile. Spiders, rude people, cold fingers and toes, baby leashes, people that don't wrap their packages before going to the Post Office, poison ivy and Math (pretty much all of it) make me want to scream. My perfect day would be spent with my wonderful husband and sweet girls- watching movies in our jammies! Of course, having the movie theater to ourselves would be great, too. Please pass the popcorn and M&M's.:) I am saved by the grace of God. He is my constant companion and hears my every prayer. What a blessing! I'd love to hear from you!

Japanese Beetles
They have landed. The dreaded Japanese Beetles. Have they come to visit your garden too? Hate them. They eat and eat and eat until there is nothing left! What can you do?? Forget about those lovely yellow beetle catcher things that your neighbor has in their front yard. They only attract more. The only solution- and it is only temporary- is to recruit your children. Give them an empty water bottle and let em' go! My girls look forward to catching these suckers every year. It's war! Yes, I have been seen sneaking around the yard with an empty water bottle, too. I know the neighbors think I'm crazy, but I can always blame it on the heat. We also have beetles that are TWICE the size of these guys that started attending our "bed and breakfast" last year!! Someone told me they are June bugs?? They are SSSSSSSOOOO disgusting! I hope you are lucky enough to avoid these "buffet breeders", but just in case they stop by for a snack, get a hold of your kids. It will get them out of the house.

Met this guy online on a dating site. We hit it off talking and after a few days he asked me to go out on a date. I was really excited and immediately said yes. He kept asking what I was comfortable with doing and where I wanted to go. We decided to meet for dinner. I was unfamiliar with the area, so he asked a buddy of his for advice on food. He sent me the restaurant website to make sure it was somewhere I wanted to go. All of it was nice, and seemed promising. We planned this date on Saturday for the Saturday after. We set the day, and picked the restaurant. All seemed great. Ever since we planned the date, I have barely heard from him. He wished me a Happy Easter on Sunday, and I him, and now its Wednesday and I haven't heard one word from him. I texted him Tuesday afternoon about what time we are meeting, and now its Wednesday morning and I haven't heard a word back. I'm so confused. Why ask me out and then drop off ? I mean we had been actively talking before. I don't get it?
DK73X2ParticipantApril 20, 2017 at 8:58 am #133763
Sometimes for guys it's the thrill of the chase. It's a who knows what can go on in our heads.
Katie__17ParticipantApril 20, 2017 at 4:23 pm #133839
I agree with DK73x2, he may have just been in it for the chase or he has a significant other and chickened out at the last minute.April 21, 2017 at 9:55 am #133887
He finally responded Wednesday saying sorry a ton of times and saying how he typed out a whole long message to me, but he forgot to hit send. He thought he did so he was just sitting waiting for me to respond. He kept apologizing. I've done that before myself, so I understood. He then told me he was so sorry and he has to reschedule again. He said he just found out some friends who live out of town are coming in for this wedding, and want to spend Saturday catching up and visiting with him. He said he doesn't want to risk not being back in time for our date. He immediately started asking me again what times, days, I am free. I told him I was not free Monday, but can be flexible most other days. He then says how he is not free Wednesday. So then I tell him I am free Tues, Thurs, and Sunday. He then responds saying how he will have to see closer to next week what his schedule is going to be like.April 21, 2017 at 9:55 am #133888
I said okay. He kept talking to me and texting me throughout that day. He got a puppy a few months back and he's super proud of it. He talks and talks about his puppy. I ask how his day is going and he starts spamming me with all stuff about his puppy. Then he says "I also got to see my first puppy today and it was nice." I ask him what he means by "first puppy." And he says "from my previous relationship."
To me, I'm assuming then the ex-fiancée took the dog. He picked it out and helped raise the dog, and it is evident he loves the dog, but it's not his, so he got his own when they broke up. Then he starts sending me all pictures of her dog with his puppy and they are cuddling and playing. To me that means, if he sees the dog then he sees her still, and they have some sort of agreement laid out. Maybe she drops the dog off like a child split between two parents. I don't know the situation. I felt bad, because I didn't like it that he was in this situation.April 21, 2017 at 9:55 am #133889
It's not ideal for anyone to get involved in. But he clearly still loves her dog and he helped raise the dog. He then started again just gushing about his own puppy and how it helped him through his rough times, and was good dog therapy. He then started sending me just cute pictures of just his puppy only. We spoke for almost the whole day and then he never answered.
This was Wednesday. Thursday morning he texts me early saying he was sorry he didn't respond and he fell asleep. Then starts asking all about my work day. We spent almost all day talking back and forth. He asked about my job, and me, and told me about him. He seemed genuinely interested in talking to me and getting to know me. We spoke from about 10 AM to 4 PM, and then I never heard from him again. Now it's Friday morning. Maybe I will hear from him, maybe not.April 21, 2017 at 4:10 pm #134013
I think you're over thinking and way over analyzing. It's easy to do, but becareful because you could start sending out an anxious vibe. Font always assume the worst if he doesn't text for 48 hours. You still have yet to go on your first date. Just enjoy his company and don't worry about this stuff. Sounds like he is interested in you for sure. But just relax and get to know him.April 21, 2017 at 4:11 pm #134020
I think you're over analyzing this. You guys haven't even gone out yet. Just relax, have fun and get to know him.April 21, 2017 at 5:29 pm #134059
I know I am. I overanalyze everything. I'm trying so hard to stop. I am sending out an anxious vibe. I want to enjoy it and just get to know him. I think he will like me just being my not anxious self.April 21, 2017 at 5:35 pm #134060
I do the same. The more you start being yourself, the more things can grow.April 21, 2017 at 5:37 pm #134061
I get so in my head and second guess myself wanting to get someone to like me a lot
ArtsyfartsyParticipantApril 22, 2017 at 2:15 am #134065
Confidence is an attractive trait! Remember this! Don't get hung up on his lack of communication, some men like to play games like this, thinking that it will keep a woman interested by acting as if he doesn't care whether or not he texts or stays in contact with you. Or maybe he is interested but he's overthinking it and doesn't want to seem overly eager. You definitely don't need someone who wants to play head games with you. If he's into you, he'll let you know, if he ignores you, his loss! Stay positive and busy yourself with things that make you happy! Focus on relationships with friends and family that do make you a priority. If he does get back to you, keep it cool and don't act as if your world was ending because he didn't text you back. But personally I'd just move along, doesn't sound like he's very sure of himself and that's not a great starting point
Athos1022ParticipantApril 22, 2017 at 2:47 pm #134078
There are alot of creeps online and sometimes it's hard to filter through all the weirdos and find a decent guy. It's tough but it is possible.
AnonymousInactiveApril 23, 2017 at 4:28 am #134082
I say drop him. He seems sketchy. Online dating can be very difficult. Try talking to someone else and try not to get attached too soon.

No doubt there were sighs of relief all round when Newcastle and Gateshead's planning strategy won approval from a Government planning inspector.
A similar process in Durham recently went very pear-shaped indeed, to general surprise and dismay.
Make no mistake about it, these plans are important. We must have new businesses, we must diversify, we must develop quality new jobs.
Alongside these things we must also have new homes. And some of them will be in the green belt.
For some, any encroachment into the green belt is to be deplored. Yet the needs and demands of cities grow and change – and the boundaries of green belts need to respond to that change. Sensible growth cannot be achieved simply by using brownfield land.
Newcastle and Gateshead's success in reaching this point is that they will now be able to grow in a balanced way.
Once the plans have been given final approval Tyneside should have proper protection against undesirable development.
Meanwhile in Durham, MP Roberta Blackman-Woods has made a sensible contribution to the debate over the county's failure to get its own plan past a Government inspector.
Her point is that the toys should stay in the pram. Hopefully, a wholesale redrawing of the plan may not be necessary.
If Durham listens to the inspector's concerns and addresses them in detail it may win approval for a plan that retains the ambition and vision that the inspector seemed to have such an issue with.
It's a shame that the inspector did not share Durham's ambitions for itself. But that can't be the end of the story.

Principal's Message
Our staff at Vista Verde Elementary School are so very proud of our students' accomplishments so far! Attendance is strong as we are striving to have 97% attendance each day. Our current average is 95%, which means on average, 40 students are absent each day. We would like to increase daily attendance with all students as it takes about one week to recover from one day of absence! The great first instruction on a lesson each day cannot be repeated with the same excitement, energy, and rich exchange of high level vocabulary words so PLEASE be sure your child attends school every day, unless he or she is sick with a fever of 100 degrees or more. Please remember that we hold Saturday Fun Academies once per month to allow students to make up one day of absence. The next day is scheduled for Saturday, November 14 from 8-12:15. Thank you for your continued effort.

George Osborne gave his first all-Tory Budget speech in 18 years last week and delivered few changes to the ultra-attractive R&D tax credits incentive that continues to go from strength to strength for clever UK companies.
There was just some tightening up in the rules aimed at Universities and charities to prevent them from claiming the RDEC with effect from 1 August 2015. This change gives effect to the intention of the RDEC to benefit companies in the private sector only which appears reasonable.
The decrease in the headline corporation tax rate to 19% in 2017 and to 18% by 2020 should provide further stimulus for more international companies to make the UK their home and potentially benefit from the UK R&D tax incentive plus this reduced rate makes the RDEC even more attractive.
More broadly the changes to the taxation of dividends may indirectly benefit R&D claimant companies as founder shareholders will have less incentive to extract profits by way of dividends and may instead opt for higher salaries with the latter being a qualifying expense for R&D tax purposes.

From CNN:
Despite being allowed to tell her husband he won the 2010 Nobel Peace Prize, the wife of Liu Xiaobo was detained in her apartment in Beijing, China, according to a human rights group and her attorney.
Liu Xia has not been charged with a crime, but "appears to be under a de facto house arrest," said Beth Schwanke, legislative counsel for the U.S.-based group Freedom Now.
She was taken to see Liu Xiaobo in a prison several hundred miles northeast of Beijing, Schwanke said, and tell him of the honor.
Upon hearing he had received the peace prize, Schwanke said, Liu Xiaobo began to cry, and said, "This is for the martyrs of Tiananmen Square."
But upon return to Beijing, Liu Xia was not allowed to leave her apartment, Schwanke said. No one is allowed in, and her telephone is believed to be "destroyed," Schwanke said. Liu Xia has been able to post to some Twitter accounts, said Schwanke, who called the action "absolutely outrageous."
