3 quick SEO wins to turbo-boost new content marketing strategies
Content marketing takes time to show tangible SEO results, but that doesn't mean you can't get at least something in the short term.
In this article, we dive into a world of low-hanging fruit – the three quick SEO wins you can achieve before you start content marketing.
1) Fix crawl errors using Search Console
There are a lot of different types of crawl errors, but today we're looking at 404 pages. These are links that lead to a non-existent page on your site, whether because you've recently migrated and the URL has changed, or it has been misspelled in a hyperlink.
These errors are bad because they either prevent the Googlebot from searching further into your entire site, stop a critical page from being able to rank, or hinder user navigation.
– How to find and fix your 404 errors
According to Moz's Rand Fishkin, you should fix a 404 page if it receives a substantial amount of web traffic (or is meant to), receives links from external sources, or is an obvious URL that people would be searching for. Otherwise, it's a low priority.
You can find 404 errors by using Search Console and going to the Crawl Errors page. By creating an error report, you'll see any pages listed as 404 – find these, check the hyperlinks are spelled correctly, publish the page if it has been accidentally left in draft state, or add a redirect link from the dead page to a better one (if you don't want to revive the dead page).
- Results achieved: Critical pages will now be available to rank in search, and all inbound links from external sources (such as social media) will stop going to a dead page. If your page already received high amounts of traffic, it may start to rank straight away.
2) Build external hyperlinks from brand mentions
External links – that is, links from other websites to yours – can make for an easy SEO win. In fact, Moz found that SEO experts tout external links as the most influential Google ranking factor.
You might think that these are outside of your control, but they aren't. In fact, if there are websites out there talking about you and not linking to your website, each of these could be a valuable opportunity.
– How to acquire new external links through brand mentions
Scour the web regularly to see if other companies are talking about your brand. You can do this through a cursory Google search, or using a tool like Google Alerts or BuzzSumo Monitoring.
When you see a mention, reach out to the publication and politely ask for your company name to be linked. Most publications will happily oblige.
But be choosy about from whom you ask for links: Google looks at the perceived trustworthiness and popularity of a linking page, to prevent SEOs from purchasing spammy links from third-party link farms. Only choose brand mentions from legitimate publications for external linking requests.
- Results achieved: As a powerful ranking influencer, any page that receives multiple external links is going to start rising very quickly up the leaderboard. In addition, you may see an influx of traffic from the linking page's own readers flowing through to your site.
3) Improve pre-existing content
Polishing pre-existing content can be one of the fastest ways to gain an SEO victory. You could take content with a high clickthrough rate (CTR) and get it ranking on page one, or take poorly performing content and add extra value.
Pre-existing content is as important as new content because it helps build strong foundational SEO across your site, such as expanding a network of internal hyperlinks, pushing your primary keywords or just generally getting users to your website to start building authority and trustworthiness.
– How to improve pre-existing content
First, identify two types of content: Those which perform well (high CTR, good time-on-page) and those that don't.
For your high performers:
- Don't mess with them too much: Lest you ruin what makes them rank well.
- Tweak the first paragraph: Ensure it tells the reader what they're about to read and why they should read it (it doesn't need more than that). This is the first thing someone will read, and it defines whether they will want to scroll down or click away.
- Ensure it has all the appropriate tags: That means headings (H1), title tags and meta descriptions. And ensure they are an appropriate size (max of 60 characters for heading/title tag, 160 characters for a meta description).
For your low performers:
- Optimise all meta tags for SEO: Does the heading, title tag and meta description include your primary keyword? Are they within the appropriate character count? And, more importantly, do they scream "Read me!" to users?
- Expand on content: If there isn't much content on the page, we advise expanding it. Take the opportunity to go more in-depth about your subject. Longer content has been known to perform better in search, so long as it's valuable – don't just pad it out with fluff, or it'll have a negative effect.
- Optimise content: Now optimise the text for a reader's enjoyment. Try to avoid any paragraphs being too large, and use numbered lists and bullet points where you can – these make content easy to skim-read. Subheadings are important, too, as well as visual media such as YouTube videos, social embeds and so on.
- Results achieved: By optimising pre-existing content, you should see a quick Google rankings bump on high-performing pages, and smaller bumps on pages that previously ranked low. Plus, any traffic you direct to those pages is more likely to stick, because the content is of higher quality and more worth a user's time.
Use this checklist to help you get started
This can be a lot to take in, so compare your website with our handy checklist below to remind you what needs done. If you can tick off each of these, you'll be all set!
Now you're ready. It's time to start your content marketing strategy for real, and publish fresh, exciting new content.
Good luck! We'd love to hear how it goes.

yea just fixed some things to improve the map \owo/
grumd told me that it was much better!
grumd told me that it was much better!
Show me a rule in wiki which says it.
Krfawy wrote:Penis sliders are unrankable
It's totally readable imo, did you play it?
Krfawy wrote:+ the path is not readable at all so you want to redo it.
Every slider must have a clear and visible path to follow from start to end. Sliders which overlap themselves in a way that makes any section unreadable or ambiguous (including "burai sliders") cannot be used. This is so that no slider has an appearance that is confusing or impossible for the player to read. Additionally, the slider borders must never be covered up from the slider being packed in too tightly. However, sliders that cross over themselves are fine as long as the borders are clearly visible.This, however, would be a valid reason (the thing I underlined). Your personal dislike of the slider shape does not make the slider unrankable.
198,167,69968,6,0,B|201:194|209:215|237:238|269:244|307:232|320:207|323:182|323:182|267:163|267:163|264:79|329:29,1,384,0|14,0:0|0:0,0:0:0:0:This is the code for a rankable version of this slider. If you guys are still going to bitch about it being inappropriate (while it clearly isn't), then just remove it completely and add a spinner from 01:09:968 - to 01:11:340 - . But if you do it, I will hate and disrespect you to the end of my life for being a nitpicky boring snob. I'm not making those dicksliders because I'm an immature stupid child, I'm adding them because that's the best thing that I could do to fit the song lyrics and mood. Don't the lyrics "big fat hard bass" tell you anything? Exactly, the song is basically about associating bass with you know what. So I made a map which will bring similar associations with sliders. Get some common sense of humor and stick to ranking rules.
grumd wrote:If we're talking about Collab Hard, I should say it needs a LOT of work besides the storyboard.
[Collab Hard]
First of all, the AR should be at least 7, possibly even 7.5-8. If you want to make the diff easier to fit in the diff spread, do not lower the AR-OD-HP, change the diff itself accordingly.
01:13:054 (1,2,3) - The triples should be removed or be used rarely. Right now this diff's rhythm is just the same as Light Insane, but without so much jumps. It's almost no difference, while the Normals beneath the Collab Hard are a lot easier in terms of rhythm.
01:30:540 (1,3) - Nobody is using those 5-note repeat sliders anymore. They are very confusing because it's hard to say whether it's a triple or a 5-note slider. Especially with your low-ass AR. This is a lot better: http://i.imgur.com/HDhorle.png
00:54:882 (1) - Some cosmetics, when you try to make such small little sliders curvy, you make them ugly honestly. When you have such a small slider, better keep it straight, it will look a lot better. http://i.imgur.com/uNqtba3.png
01:03:111 (1,2) - Fix this huge readability issue, this is not some Expert diff where you should play with reading.
01:08:597 (1,2,3,4) - This is too cluttered, do not place everything in one single place, it hurts to play. Space out the sliders and make some usual shapes, not this little corner thing.
02:15:797 (1,2,3,4) - Yeah hello 2011.
02:22:654 (1,2,3,4) - Again 2011. This is really ugly and shouldn't be used nowadays.
02:37:740 (1) - Distance from the previous slider should be the same as before (02:37:054 (3,4) - ) otherwise it will confuse everybody.
02:37:740 (1,2,1,2) - Why is this so cluttered? It plays badly, looks badly and also has some readability issues on the last circle (2). Do not stack all this stuff.
02:41:168 (7,8) - This is an antijump, fix this spacing. Everybody will think it's a 1/2.
02:45:968 (1,2,3) - Do not stack it please. Same aforementioned problems. Readability and 2011.
03:01:740 (3,4,1) - This is a slow calm part, better do not use such large jumps here. Better use same speed and patterns you used in the very beginning here 00:32:940 (1,2,3) - . It will fit the song perfectly. Right now this part is too jumpy and too fast.
03:11:854 - Well, you'd better add a note here for the synth.
Yeah, just look at it:
03:13:397 (1,2,3,4,5,1,2,3,4,5,1) - Here, in the (almost) kiai, you have no jumps, just simple small spacing. And before, in a slow part... 03:07:225 (4,5,6,1,2,3,4,1) - it was a lot faster and with jumps.
Remove most of the triples or replace them with a 3-note slider everywhere. This is too difficult according to the diff spread.
Remove 5-note little repeat sliders as they're very confusing. Better to replace them with a 4-note kickslider + 1/2 slider afterwards. http://i.imgur.com/HDhorle.png
Fix the stacked sliders patterns, they look bad and play bad.
This is not the only diff that needs some huge rework.
Tari's Insane also has a few important crucial things to fix.
[Tari's Insane]
01:08:597 (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,1,1) - This whole pattern is not really well-made. The symmetrical jumpy pattern is almost harder as the pattern of Kyshiro in this part. It should be made a lot easier. And I don't really like the lazy-symmerical way. What? this isn't an lazy assymetrical way, this pattern is great build up here, and is very easy to play due to the previous combo, You just move down and up. I don't agree with this at all.
01:09:625 (7,1) - This anti-jump is a very bad idea here too.
01:10:740 (1) - This slider is a mess. First, it should never start and end on a blue tick. That doesn't make sense. Second, it should not be that fast.
It's better to remove this fast slider and just make this: http://i.imgur.com/3fTYdqw.png
02:26:768 (1,1,1) - Same.
01:11:511 (3,4,5) - 01:17:340 (5,6) - Upbeat sliders. There are lots of them. You just start them on a low beat, red tick. In such a bassy song with clearly distinguishable hardest beat on white ticks... That's really unacceptable. It plays weirdly and must be fixed throughout the whole diff. what? please don't be single minded, there are beats in the red ticks too, and they are very apparent in 100% playback rate, the white beats obviously prominent, but you need to realize there are beats in the red ticks too, that don't follow the same upbeat white tick track.
01:19:311 (8) - This should be removed, there's no sound here. I find this one is good, there
01:22:568 (4) - 01:24:282 - 01:25:654 (3) - 01:26:168 (6) - 01:27:025 (5) - Same, and so on. A lot of those here. Listen to it with 25% playback rate please, there are sounds there. Also, removing the blue ticks would cause difficulty spread issues amuck, something your complaining about largely.
02:26:425 - Why no note here? Add one?
03:16:654 (2) - This blanket ruins your flow and speed, move the circle somewhere else.
Well... I'm listing only the most important crucial things here. I don't see this ranked unless everything above is sorted out.

Sadly I'm Back from my trip to Puerto Rico. I miss the warm weather and beaches already. But I had an amazing time and would like to share the details with you guys. if you didn't read my previous post What I'm packing for my trip to Puerto Rico. take a brief minute to look through and see what I took with me on my trip.
Day 1
My mom and I left our house at 5am to catch our flight at 7am. we landed in Ft Lauderdale Florida for an hour layover. From there we got on the second plane and landed in San Juan around 1pm. We took a taxi from the airport to the hotel. We stayed at the Intercontinental in Isla Verde which was 5 minutes for the airport.
We checked in an unpacked. My mom and I decided to go get lunch at a restaurant called Los Gorditos. on the outside, it looked like a fancy sit-down restaurant but it was, in fact, a fast food place. The food was pretty good for a fast food joint.
After lunch we went back to the hotel, relaxed and went downstairs to the pool that is open 24/7.
Day 2
We went to breakfast at a little mom and pop shop called Edith's. Simple breakfast nothing too fancy. I ordered french toast, ham, and sorullitos ( fried cornmeal).
After breakfast, my mom and I decided to spend the whole day at the hotel pool and their private beach. On Mondays, a lot of places are closed in Puerto Rico so we just decided to stay close to the hotel. We basically just sat around drinking lots of Pina Coladas and other drinks.
For dinner, we walked down the street to a restaurant called Mi Casita. If You're ever in Isla Verde, I highly recommend this restaurant. Their mofongo is absolutely amazing! for those who don't know what mofongo, is it is fried mashed plantains mixed in a broth and comes in different variations with chicken, pork, shrimp, or octopus.its a staple Puerto Rican dish. I had the Shrimp Mofongo. Best Mofongo I've ever had in my life!
Day 3
Gabbed breakfast a Mi Casita. I kept it with a simple breakfast with a ham omelet and a cup of coffee. After breakfast, we decided to head up to Old San Juan, the Capital of Peurto Rico. We took an Uber to get there. Old San Juan is about 15 minutes from Isla Verde.
Travel Tip: Ubers are new to Puerto Rico and very limited. Most of the Ubers are in San Juan and old San Juan. However, some Drivers are really nice and will make a deal to drive you somewhere further and even wait for you for a set price.
After our driver dropped us off, we walked to El Morro, El Morro is a historical site in Puerto Rico, It was a port for ships and protected the island from intruders back in the 16th century. It cost $7 to enter the museum.
Afterward, we walked around saw a few art galleries. They were all free to get in. The amazing was incredible.
We finally got hungry and had lunch at Barrachina, The first pina colada was created here. We had shrimp avocado wraps with a pina colada of course and guava cheesecake for dessert.
After lunch, we walked around to a few souvenirs shops to pick up gifts for our friends and family. Then we stopped at the Puerto Rican arts and craft store. It's a great place to pick up one of a kind handmade art. I bought a small Vejigante mask ( folklore mask used in many celebrations) for $14 but they had larger ones that ran for $200.
Finally, we stopped for dinner at the Puerto Rican cafe. I order chicken chicharrones with rice and beans.
Day 4
We got breakfast again at mi casita haha we loved that place. Then we took an Uber to the Bacardi factory.
The Bacardi factory is the largest rum distillery in the world. It's a popular attraction in Puerto Rico. We did the historical tour which was $15 per person and they give you a complimentary drink. You can also do a rum tasting and learn how to make the drinks but it cost more.
Our last dinner was of course at Mi Casita for mofongo. I ordered the Octopus mofongo which was just as good as the shrimp.
Day 5
Our final day we or breakfast at another local spot call playa papaya. Such a cute place. I ordered the guava pancakes and my mom ordered an açaí bowel.
After breakfast, we spent our as few hours at the beach and pool before we had to catch our fight at 4pm. But overall I loved Puerto Rico! I'm definitely coming back again.
I hope you guys enjoyed this post. If you plan on visiting and have any questions feel free to ask me. I'm already trying to plan my next trip, so be on the lookout on where I go next!
Don't forget to share and follow me on social media!

WATCH: Muslim man prays with 93-year-old Jewish woman at Manchester memorial
Renee Black comforted by Sadiq Patel whilst praying for victims of Monday's deadly attack
A touching moment offered a glimmer of hope in Manchester, where a bomber killed at least 22 people on Monday in a terror attack at a concert.
On Wednesday, Renee Black, a 93-year-old Jewish woman, traveled to the city with Sadiq Patel, a Muslim man, from the nearby town of Blackburn to mourn the victims.
The pair were captured on video and in photos talking and joining in prayer next to a makeshift memorial in Albert Square, in the city's centre.

We consider a model of international sovereign debt where repayment is enforced because defaulting nations lose their reputation and consequently, are excluded from international capital markets. Underlying the analysis of reputation is the hypothesis that borrowing countries have different, unobservable, attitudes towards the future. Some regimes are relatively myopic, while others are willing to make sacrifices to preserve their access to debt markets. Nations' preferences, while unobservable, are not fixed but evolve over time according to a Markov process. We make two main points. First we argue that in models of sovereign debt the length of the punishment interval that follows a default should be based on economic factors rather than being chosen arbitrarily. In our model, the length of the most natural punishment interval depends primarily on the preference parameters. Second, we point out that there is a more direct way for governments to regain their reputation. By offering to partially repay loans in default, a government can signal its reliability. This type of signaling can cause punishment interval equilibria to break down. We examine the historical record on lending resumption to argue that in almost all cases, some kind of partial repayment was made.
In this paper we will consider a simple small open economy with three assets - domestic capital, foreign securities and public debt - to study the government's incentives to devalue and to repay or default the debt. We show that the announcement of a devaluation is anticipated by domestic agents who reduce domestic investments and increase foreign holdings. Once a government devalues, the expectations vanish and the economy recovers its past levels of investment and GDP. However, in a country with international debt denominated in US dollars if a government devalues it requires a higher fraction of GDP to repay its external debt. In consequence, there exists a trade-off between recovering the economy and increasing the future cost of repaying the debt. Our main result is to show that, as devaluation beliefs exists, a devaluation increase government incentives to default and devalue. We calibrate our model to match the decrease in investment of domestic capital, the reduction in production, the increase in trade balance surplus, and the increase in debt levels observed throughout 2001 in Argentina. We show that for a probability of devaluation consistent with the risk premium of the Argentinian Government bonds nominated in dollars issued on April 2001 the external debt of Argentina was in a crisis zone were the government find optimal to default and to devalue.

Leicester – West Brom: Preview & Prediction
The eighth Premier League day will end at King's Power Stadium in Leicester where hosts trained by Craig Shakespeare will see it with Tony Pulis's West Bromwich Albion. The Leicester must retrieve ground at the 17th with only 5 points and in the last round did not go over 0-0 in Bournemouth's home. The Foxes will not have Matty James, Robert Huth and Adrien Silva, while Wilfred Ndidi will have to be back in midfield. The WBA, on the other hand, is 10th in the standings with 9 points and before the break had doubled home against Watford for 2-2 with signed by Josè Salomon Rondon and Jonny Evans. Pulis has yet to solve some riddles related to the conditions of Nacer Chadli, Hal Robson-Kanu and James Morrison.
Leicester missed the win in 6 of the first seven league days.
The WBA has failed to win in 11 of the last 12 trips between this and past season.
West Brom has given at least 2 goals in 6 of the last 7 trips.
There have been 4 Matches with both teams in the last 5 Premier League appearances.
Betting Leicester West Brom – Our Prediction
Our Tips
We aim to win the hosts in this challenge. Vardy and his teammates must win to get away from the dangerous back-ground area and they can also succeed against a WBA that has big problems in attack with just 6 goals scored in 7 races.
Leicester – West Brom: Betting Tips
Leicester – Win Odds: 2.00
Both teams to score / YES – Odds: 1.80
Over 2.5 Goals – Odds: 1.80

Early in the first period Drew Brevig scored the game's first goal at the 3:19 mark off of assists from Aidan Cavallini and Thomas Williams.
Later in the period, Cavallini crashed the net hard following a shot from Eetu Karvinen to score the games second goal and put the Blizzard up 2-0 at the end of the first period. Karvinen and Williams were credited with the assists.
Bismarck came out hard in the second period to kept it close. Cory Chapman scored at the 7:57 mark of the second to cut the Blizzard lead in half going into the second intermission. Halfway through the final period Blizzard goaltender Drew Weigman was able to block a shot from Joe Giordano, one of his 29 saves on the night, but Jeremy O'Keefe was there to bury the loose puck to tie the game 2-2.
The Blizzard quickly responded when Connor Anderle broke in and beat Bobcat goaltender Aaron Nelson between the legs off a nice pass from Eric Brenk to secure the 3-2 victory for the Blizzard.
Wednesday's game was the rubber match after these two teams split over the weekend in Bismarck. The Bobcats took home the victory in a hard fought game last Friday by a score of 2-1. The Blizzard responded well Saturday winning 4-3 in a shootout. The game went back and forth as Bismarck took three one goal leads, but Brookings responded each time to force overtime.
Drew Brevig tied the game at one with his sixth goal of the year midway through the first, and then Eric Brenk set up Connor Andrle with his third of the year knotting the game at two late in the first. Casey Purpur tied at three scoring on an assist from Thomas Williams and Spencer Peratalo. Drew Weigman came up huge in the shootout stopping all four shots.

Trump Seen Softening Immigration Stance
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Donald Trump's new line on immigration — "fair, but firm" — is leaving both Republicans and Democrats with the same question: Is the famously hard-line GOP nominee softening his approach?
Trump even suggested Tuesday that he is open to "softening" laws dealing with immigrants. His campaign insists he's not. But in the course of a few days, Trump has gone from calling for mass deportations for millions — a position to the right of even many Republicans — to arguing deportations should focus on those who commit crimes, veering into the same territory as President Barack Obama and Democrat Hillary Clinton.
So what gives?
If this week's string of vague and contradictory statements by Trump and his team is revealing anything, it's that his immigration policy is still evolving. Just days ago Trump reshuffled his campaign staff as part of an effort to recalibrate his message for the general election, in which his tough stance on immigration may be more of a liability than it was in the Republican primary.
On Tuesday, Trump's campaign postponed a major immigration speech scheduled for this week, but announced he'd hold two events highlighting border security needs and crimes committed by immigrants in the U.S. illegally. And while taping a town hall Tuesday evening in Austin, Texas, for Fox News, Trump said in response to a question from moderator Sean Hannity: "There certainly can be a softening because we're not looking to hurt people."
A look at what Trump has proposed, compared to Clinton's policies and Obama's record in office:
TRUMP: From the start, the brash billionaire's campaign has been rooted in the promise of a dramatically different approach to immigration. He presented a detailed deportation plan for 11 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally, complete with estimated timeframes and references to a "deportation force." Trump argued all would have to return to their country of origin but that the "good people" could come back through legal processes.
His tune seems to have changed. On Monday, Trump said his first focus would be to get rid of "the bad ones." Campaign manager Kellyanne Conway said Trump wanted to deport immigrants with criminal records, not all 11 million. What about that deportation force? "To be determined," Conway said.
CLINTON: The Democratic nominee has said overhauling immigration laws will be a top priority, but in the meantime, she says current laws should be enforced "humanely." Her campaign says deportations would focus on immigrants "who pose a violent threat to public safety." Clinton wants to shut down privately run detention centers.
OBAMA: Immigration advocates have railed against Obama for deporting huge numbers — more than 2.5 million in all — and dubbed him the "deporter in chief." In 2012, Immigration and Customs Enforcement set a record of removing 409,000 immigrants.
Since then, though, the numbers have declined to just 235,413 in the 2016 budget year. During that year, 337,117 were arrested attempting to cross the border illegally.
TRUMP: He's offered conflicting takes on how he'd deal with immigrants brought here illegally as children, and their parents. He praised the Supreme Court's move in June that halted Obama's second wave of executive actions on that issue, actions Trump decried as "executive amnesty." His campaign says he'd reverse Obama's remaining actions.
On the other hand, Trump has said he wouldn't split up families, though he hasn't explained how he'd reconcile those policies. He also supports eliminating birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to parents who came here illegally.
CLINTON: She wants to preserve Obama's executive actions — both those affecting children and those affecting their parents. Clinton also wants to expand those actions to immigrants who have contributed to their communities or faced "extreme labor violations."
OBAMA: The president's first set of executive actions has shielded more than 800,000 young immigrants from deportation since 2012. After Republicans won the Senate in 2014 and the prospect of an immigration overhaul grew dimmer, Obama acted again to protect up to 4 million parents of U.S. citizens or permanent residents and let them work legally. The courts have put the more recent actions on hold.
TRUMP: He says the border isn't adequately protected. Trump has called for tripling the number of Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, who handle deportations.
And then, of course, there's the wall. Trump is standing firm behind his plans to build a "real wall" on the Mexican border and to force Mexico to fund it. He says until Mexico pays up, the U.S. will increase visa and border crossing fees, "impound all remittance payments" from immigrants here illegally, and possibly increase tariffs or cut foreign aid.
CLINTON: She's called for securing U.S. borders, but has also said the U.S. is already doing "a really good job." In March, Clinton said increased border security staffing, new fencing and lower immigration rates have lessened the problem.
She opposes Trump's wall.
OBAMA: In the 2008 budget year, before Obama took office, the U.S. had about 17,000 Border Patrol agents, reflecting an increase under President George W. Bush from the 9,212 the U.S. had in 2000. Obama increased it to 20,199 in 2009, and the numbers have hovered around there ever since. Border apprehensions dropped significantly during that time.
Meanwhile, billions of taxpayer dollars have gone toward border fencing and technology to secure the border, another project that started under Bush.

One Half of the People (November 9 – January 5)
On loan from the National Archives Traveling Exhibits Service, the museum's fall exhibit One Half of the People: Women in American History highlights women's evolving rights and roles in our society. At the founding of our country, women's roles were rigidly defined. The women's sphere dictated that as wife, and then mother, women were caretakers for domestic issues. This exhibit explores the challenges that women took on to redefine their place in society. Topics include the campaign for full voting rights, women entering the workplace and the military. The exhibit features stories of influential women such as Marie Curie, Harriett Tubman, and Sandra Day O'Connor.
Juke Joint Men
The West Baton Rouge Museum is pleased to announce a new exhibition and publication entitled Juke Joint Men. The exhibit, which opened August 17 and runs through January 12, 2020, features the collages of local bluesmen by J K Lawson and the musically inspired metal sculptures of Port Allen native Ronald Trahan.
John K Lawson is a native of Birmingham, England who now resides in south Louisiana. Known for his colorful collages and other mixed media art, Lawson has been featured in Country Roads Magazine and his work commissioned by numerous festivals across the state. After attending an event at the museum's juke joint, John agreed to do a book highlighting local Blues legends with the West Baton Rouge Museum. The result is a series of collages and biographies of Blues musicians from the Westside of the river.
Ronald Trahan is a nationally known sculptor who is on the Artist Roster of the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge. He sculpts in bronze using a welding process to create figures inspired by childhood visits to the Mardi Gras in New Orleans. His jazz musician and second line dance sculptures have been highly sought after at the New Orleans Jazz Fest for decades.
The 12' x12' hard cover publication, Juke Joint Men, is available at the West Baton Rouge Museum gift shop and select retailers.
Traveling Exhibits
Past exhibits are available to community organizations such as schools, churches, and libraries upon availability. For more information call Director of Interpretation Kathe Hambrick at 225-336-2422 ext. 207 or Curator of Collections Elizabeth Brantley at 225-2336-2422 ext. 206.

Despite the controversies that are hounding logbook loans, there's no denying the fact that the financial product remains a viable choice for many borrowers. Though risk and costly, it also has its set of advantages that lure borrowers to apply for the loan. Here are some of these advantages you might want to know more about:
Logbook loans are available online.
With more and more lenders offering the financial product online, you don't need to leave the comforts of your home to raise money. You can complete an application online or request for a free quote if you want. Just make sure that you're applying from a reputable lender with a solid track record to ensure that you're getting the best end of the deal.
Logbook loans offer larger loan amounts.
Though risky because of the security involved, you can borrow a larger amount of money with logbook loans. Most lenders offer loan amounts from as low as £500 to as much as £25,000. This means that logbook loans are ideal for meeting a wide variety of personal needs. From overdue bills or rent to car repair, medical expense and even vacation, a suitable logbook loan should be able to meet your financial emergencies and needs.
Logbook loans have flexible repayment terms.
Compared with unsecured loans, logbook loans also offer longer and more flexible repayment terms. Most lenders, for instance, allow you to choose between bi-weekly or monthly payments depending on the amount of loan you applied for. Typically, you can choose to repay the loan in 12 months up to 36 months. For convenience, you may also set up an automatic debit repayment arrangement. This way, your bank deducts your dues as preset so you never have to worry about it anymore.
Logbook loans do not require any credit check.
More than the larger loan amounts and the flexible terms, the best advantage logbook loans can offer is the no credit check requirement. This means that if you have a poor credit history, you can still apply for a logbook loan so long as you're a vehicle owner. Since there is no credit check anymore, approval for a logbook loan application is also faster. In most cases, you can get approved in as fast as within 24 to 48 hours. To further expedite the processing, you might want to prepare the required documents before completing the online loan application.

David Walsh started second and took over the lead at the start of the 15-lap Newville Construction Services Street Stock main. Following a third-lap restart, Walsh was setting the pace with Pat McNeal, Adam Gutshall, Kevin Wirt and Greg Diehl following.
Doug Hoffman, the tenth place starter, moved into fifth place on lap six. One lap later the two lead cars driven by David Walsh and Pat McNeal, tangled at the exit of turn four. While the two cars went to the pits, the new leader Adams Gutshall came to a halt on the front stretch. Gutshall retired to the pit area with a broken right front suspension.
The new leader was Kevin Wirt, with Doug Hoffman in second. One lap later Hoffman captured the lead. With five-laps remaining point leader Paul Morgan advanced to second. Morgan could not catch the Camaro of Hoffman. Hoffman, from Mechanicsburg, won his first of the year by ten-lengths over Paul Morgan, Sam Rial, Kevin Wirt and Dustin Hollinger.
Hoffman finished 6th after starting 10th on a narrow and heavy track that was difficult to pass on. After the 27 crew spent the beginning of the night worked the bugs out of a new car Doug had to start his heat in the back of the field and worked his way into a qualifying position for the feature. The car was much better at the end of the night but track conditions and heavy traffic stopped Hoffman from working his way to the front and he had to settle for a strong 6th place finish. All in all it was a good night out for the Hoffman Motorsports #27 team for the opening night with a new race car.

The 6th Annual Miller's Racing Parts Fall Classic was very exciting this weekend and at the end Doug Hoffman finished 2nd. In his heat Hoffman started 9th and worked his way up to 2nd. After starting 4th in the A-Main on a track that was difficult to pass on Doug worked his way up to 2nd but was later shuffled back to 3rd when the leaders entered lapped traffic. Hoffman was able to stay on the two leaders bumpers but with his car getting looser as the race went on and the top side of the track going away he came across the line in 3rd but in post race inspection the car finishing 2nd was disqualified moving the Hoffman Motorsports #27 into the runner up position.
After setting 15th fast time out of 50 cars Doug had mechanical trouble in his heat that kept him from qualifying finishing 6th and forcing the team to make repairs for the Consolation race on Saturday. A strong 2nd place finish gave Hoffman a 24th place starting position in the Feature event. Hoffman worked his way up to a 14th place finish. With this being the first time Doug or the team ever raced at Hagerstown Speedway and they had 50cc smaller engine then the rest of the field everyone at Hoffman Motorsports is pleased with our results.
The next event for Doug Hoffman and the #27 team will be the 3rd ANNUAL SMALL CAR NATIONALS this Friday and Saturday September 18th & 19th at HAGERSTOWN SPEEDWAY. We hope to see you there.

Due to the changes in track schedules the next event for Doug Hoffman and the #27 team will be at Susquehanna Speedway and not Williams Grove Speedway as our original schedule showed. The race will be this Saturday September 12th, racing starts at 6:00. We hope to see you there.
Doug Hoffman finished 8th last week at Williams Grove Speedway. After having trouble in the heat with a flat tire Hoffman stared the feature 15th in the #27 and worked his way up to 8th. The car was running and handling very well but Doug had trouble working around slower cars and with the big year end races at Hagerstown Speedway, Winchester Speedway and Susquehanna Speedway approaching fast Doug and his team is hoping to turn their season around just at the right time.
Williams Grove Speedway has added a race for the Street Stocks on Friday October 30th; it will be a feature only race. Also Hoffman Motorsports has decided that Doug Hoffman and the #27 team will be running the annual Small Car Nationals at Hagerstown Speedway in Hagerstown, MD Friday September 18th – Saturday the 19th instead of the Lincoln Speedway race that weekend.
Doug Hoffman returns to Williams Grove Speedway this Saturday August 1, which will also be Kids Night. Gates will open at 5:00 with activities for the kids getting underway immediately. There will be games and prizes, big wheel & bike races on the speedway and Disney radio will also be there. Doug Hoffman will be handing out souvenir stadium cups so come early and get yours while they last. Come out and see some great racing action. We hope to see you there.
Doug Hoffman finished 7th last Saturday night in the 4th of July 30 lap race at Susquehanna Speedway. After have trouble in the heat getting tied up with a car that spun early in the race Hoffman started 13th in the feature and worked his way up to a 7th place finish.
Doug Hoffman started the night with a strong heat win finishing ten car lengths in front of the second place car. At the end of the night the Hoffman Motorsports #27 was strong in the feature but a slick one grove track slowed Hoffman down working thru traffic. After losing several positions after getting tied up with a slower car Doug was able to work his way back up for a 5th place finish.
Despite having a very fast car Doug Hoffman had a disappointing 19th place finish after getting wrecked by a rookie driver at Lincoln Speedway last night. After taking the lead on lap two an out of control rookie ran into the side of the Hoffman Motorsports #27 in the middle of turns three and four causing Doug to spin. Hoffman was unable to continue due to damages to the car. Our next race is at Williams Grove Speedway on June 20th racing starts at 7:00pm.
Doug Hoffman will be running at Lincoln Speedway Wednesday June 10th.
We hope to see you there for an action packed night.

After a week of long hours and a lot of work we had a good run this weekend at Williams Grove Speedway. After spinning out in the heat due to a lose car the crew worked hard to get the car where it needed to be for the feature. We starting 13th on a one groove track Doug worked his way up to a strong fourth place finish. Hoffman Motorsports would like to thank Madden Fabrication and the whole crew for all the hard work they put in to get the car repaired this last week. Our next race is this Wednesday June 10th at Lincoln Speedway; we will be running the make-up race from May 16th as well as the scheduled race. That means two features in one night so I hope to see everyone there.
After a hopeful start winning his heat the night turned into disappointment as the Hoffman Motorsports #27 driven by Doug Hoffman was involved in a multi car accident on the first lap of the feature that took him out of competition and rendered him to a 15th finishing position. The crew is working hard to make repairs to the car and we will be ready for our next race this weekend at Williams Grove Speedway this Saturday June 6th. We hope to see you there.
After a rough start to the season with engine troubles at Susquehanna Speedway we have had two very strong second place finishes. That means that we have finished in the top two for last eleven races in a row at Williams Grove Speedway.
Hoffman Wins with Last Lap Pass to Pick Up the Miller's Racing Parts
Fall Classic at SSP on Saturday Night
(www.paposseracing.com; Written by Stephen Bubb 08-21-2008) Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania; It was a double win night for street stock driver Doug Hoffman. Not only did Hoffman win his fifth feature of 2008, but he also captured the 2008 Williams Grove Speedway street stock point title. The start of the 15-lap L.B. Smith Ford street stock feature had a nine-car crash on the opening lap, bringing out the red flag. No one was injured in the grinding wreck. Pat McNeal took command of the lead when the race was restarted. Doug Hoffman charged into second and quickly challenged for the lead. On lap three Hoffman used a low line pass off turn two to take the lead from McNeal. While Hoffman was setting the pace, Kory Sites worked his way into second. Sites was 30 points behind Hoffman coming into this final event. Hoffman had total control of the event and was never challenged. At the finish it was Doug Hoffman easily winning by 15 lengths over Sites, Kevin Sigler, McNeal and Kevin Wirt. The heat events for the 22 L.B. Smith Ford street stocks went to Rodney Clouser, Doug Hoffman and Todd Bowersox.
news.southjerseydirtracing.com Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania; Kevin Sigler won his very first 15-lap L.B. Smith Ford street stock feature at Williams Grove. Sigler had to hold off constant pressure from Doug Hoffman and Kory Sites to gain the victory. Dave Motter set the pace through the first half of the street stock feature. Kevin Sigler started eighth and advanced to second by the completion of the first lap. Sigler dove under Motter in turn four on the seventh lap to take over the lead. With five laps remaining, Kory Sites and Doug Hoffman, the two leading feature winners in the Williams Grove street stocks, took over the two positions behind Sigler. It was a three-car run for the win over the final five laps. When Sites slipped in turn four with one lap remaining, Sigler was able to open up a slight lead. Sigler's Camaro drove under the checkered flag four lengths in front of Hoffman, Sites, Motter and Kevin Wirt.
(www.paposseracing.com; Written by Stephen Bubb 08-17-2008) Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania; Doug Hoffman won his fourth L.B. Smith Ford street stock feature. Hoffman had to catch a determined Dave Motter to win the 15-lap feature. Dave Motter built up a large lead early in the street stock feature. On lap five the second place car of Pat McNeal spun in turn two collecting top runners Gary Welsh and Kory Sites. Welsh and Sites were eliminated from the race. After the restart the top five of Motter, Walt Lemmon, Rodney Clouser, Kevin Sigler and Doug Hoffman pulled away from the field. Hoffman began the race in 11th place and he was second by lap 11. With three laps remaining the caution flag came out. The caution erased the win hopes of Dave Motter. Following the restart Hoffman took the lead from Motter in turn two. Hoffman pulled away in the final two laps to win by eight lengths over Motter, Sigler, Clouser and Randy Fenner.
(www.paposseracing.com; Written by Stephen Bubb 07-13-2008) Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania; The L.B. Smith Ford street stock division staged two feature races. The first was a make-up race from two weeks ago. The second was the scheduled race for the evening. Doug Hoffman had a night he will never forget as he won both main events sponsored by Heritage Acres. The first 20-lap street stock feature was the finest race of the night. Dave Motter led the first two laps before being passed by Rodney Clouser. Clouser and Kory Sites had a very intense battle for the lead, with the number one spot being exchanged several times. The Clouser Camaro was leaving a trail of thick smoke. During a caution flag on lap seven, Clouser dropped out of the event. Kory Sites now held command of the race with Doug Hoffman in second. Hoffman went to work on the outside lane. With each passing lap he gained more ground on Sites. On the final lap the two leaders were even coming off the second turn and raced wheel to wheel into the final turns. Hoffman was able to gain a slight edge off the final turn. At the finish line Hoffman won by a half-length over Sites. Jim Salisbury, Kevin Sigler and Walt Lemmon completed the top five. The second victory for Hoffman was much easier. Hoffman started on the pole while his main competitor, Kory Sites, was back in 12th. While Hoffman held a comfortable lead, Sites was rapidly advancing to the front. By the end of lap four Sites had captured second place. As the laps progressed, Kory Sites kept constant pressure on Doug Hoffman. Hoffman led the all way and he won his second of the evening, his third straight, over Sites, Gary Welsh, Kevin Sigler and Jim Salisbury.
(www.paposseracing.com; Written by Stephen Bubb 06-22-2008) Saturday night at Williams Grove Speedway Doug Hoffman won the 15-lap L.B.Smith Ford street stock feature. The victory is his first career win at Williams Grove. Rodney Clouser led until the caution came out at the end of the second lap. On the restart Doug Hoffman, the fourth place starter, charged into the lead. A succession of caution flags over the next several laps kept the field behind Hoffman. By the midway point of the feature, previous feature winners Jim Salisbury and Kory Sites were second and third. The duo could not catch the leader Hoffman. Hoffman cruised to an eight-length feature win. The race for second was very close with Salisbury just edging out Sites by a margin of one foot. Gary Welsh and Clouser finished fourth and fifth.

Learning life lessons from 'The Council of Dads'Permanent link
When Jewish author Bruce Feiler was five years old, he was struck by a car while riding his Schwinn bike, breaking his left femur. More than 30 years later, he was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in that same femur. Whether the accident and his illness were related or mere coincidence, he will never know. Recognizing that his cancer could be life-threatening, he feared that he may not watch his 3-year-old twin daughters grow up, that he wouldn't be there to guide them through the twists and turns of life. That sparked in Feiler the idea of "The Council of Dads," where he invited six men from all passages in his life to convey important life lessons to his daughters in the event that he didn't survive.
Thankfully, Feiler has triumphed over his cancer and been in remission for two years. He writes about his experience and the lessons the men taught his daughters—and ultimately Feiler—in his book The Council of Dads: My Daughters, My Illness, and the Men Who Could be Me (William Morrow, an imprint of Harper Collins Publishers). The author spoke in Chicago in March and returns to Chicago on Wednesday, June 15 to speak at Ravinia Green Country Club Day in Riverwoods. Oy!Chicago conducted a phone interview with the author at his home in Brooklyn this spring.
Oy!Chicago: Why did you want to write the book?
Bruce Feiler: I wanted the experience of asking each one of these men the one piece of advice they would give to my girls. I was so inspired by their answers that I wanted to gather it in one place so that my girls could have it some day. [I wrote a letter to my girls] that appears at the end of Council of Dads with all of the wisdom there in one place: Approach the cow, pack your flip-flops, don't see the wall, tend your tadpoles, live the questions, harvest miracles. This advice was meant for the girls but I'm the one who really needed it.
What were the criteria you used for picking your council of dads?
When I first had the idea, I didn't want to tell my wife. She's a very upbeat person and I thought we should focus on the positive. But then, the next day I told her and she loved it, but she quickly began rejecting my nominees. It was an unexpected way to learn what my wife thought of my friends. Then, we made a set of rules to guide us such as no family, only friends—family would already be there—and your friends know you differently. Next, only men because we were trying to fill the male space. Then, intimacy over longevity because some of the newer friends would capture the dad I wanted to be.
You mention that one of the unexpected gifts is telling each of these men what they mean to you. Have you made a practice of this even now that you're healthy?
This is one of the biggest pieces of advice that I give to people—sit down with your closest friends and tell them what they mean to you. It's an incredibly rare thing that we do and yet it's very powerful. Anybody who has ever touched illness or been through a difficult circumstance in life is so moved by the people who come swarming around you in this time of difficulty. I try to use direct emotion and communication with my [loved ones every day].
You talk in the book about this more enlightened type of males who talk about their feelings and their kids. Do you think men are evolving?
Are you suggesting that we're getting closer to what you women are already? Memo to women: Men have feelings too. We just happen to express them in different ways. In fact, watching sports, fishing, or towel-snapping can be emotional. It's not that men are evolving, but that men have more permission to speak openly about their feelings today, especially with other men.
What have you learned from this experience?
I don't wear the experience as a burden on my shoulders. I wear it as an engine on my back that propels me to get out of bed, take a hand, take a walk, make a memory every day.
If you were asked to be in a Council of Dads, what is the most important "daddyism"—as you call it—that you would advise?
I was a walking guy, who had written the book Walking the Bible. But [when I was sick] I didn't walk for almost two years. I just came to love the idea that in Paris 200 years ago, men of leisure would take turtles for walks and let turtles set the pace…take a walk with a turtle, behold the world and pause.

Understanding the nuances of a student's education requires looking beyond single metrics and datasets. Despite being driven by a common goal of using data-driven inquiry to positively affect teaching and learning in higher education, our methods, tools, and data are different. As a result, we aim to tackle these issues by connecting various forms of knowledge representations from a variety of disciplinary methodologies to construct a holistic model of education.
Some examples of projects we're working on include: building explanatory models to identify underlying causes of success for next-generation intervention systems and creating infrastructure for querying indicators of student achievement across disparate datasets in order to facilitate research.
Project leads: Christopher Brooks, with SI faculty Stephanie Tealsey and Kevyn Collins-Thompson, LSA faculty Tim McKay and Gus Evrard, and AOS faculty Perry Samson
The Mentor Academy is a data-science learning community of practice where students volunteer their knowledge, skills, and time to give back to new students. Built around the content of the Applied Data Science with Python online course on Coursera, students are able to give back by creating new culturally relevant problem sets for online learners or engaging in mentorship in discussion forums.
The first cohort of mentors for the Mentor Academy were recruited in October 2017. The next iteration of the academy is planned for Summer 2018.
Project leads: Anant Mittal and Christopher Brooks
Whether machine-learned, human generated, or a hybrid, models of student success in education need to be replicated in new contexts and datasets in order to ensure generalizability . We're building the software to do this, and hooking it up to large datasets of hundreds of classes with millions of learners through collaboration between the University of Michigan and the University of Pennsylvania.

The rapid growth of social media and online communities has dramatically changed the manner in which communication takes place, and most people engage in some form of online asynchronous or synchronous conversation every day. As a result, communication and collaboration are key skills across all aspects of modern life, from learning and working to our political and social life more broadly. In the Educational Technology Collective, we are working to gain a deeper understanding of online discourse and group dynamics in order facilitate improved educational technologies, wider world access to learning, and more competent and successful citizens. Towards this effort, we have several projects that focus on using language and discourse to uncover the dynamics of socially significant, cognitive, and affective processes in a variety of online educational interactions, including small group computer-mediated collaborative learning environments, and massive open online courses (MOOCs).
Project leads: Nia Dowell and Christopher Brooks
Our work focuses on nurturing the development of self-regulated learning (SRL) skills in students. Selfregulation is an important feature of engaged learners: those who have the ability, willingness, and experience to reflect on how their behaviors relate to learning outcomes. By predicting the academic success of students (PASS) and revealing how that success correlates with their activities, we aim to help learners engage in conversations with themselves, their peers, and their instructors to improve learning practices and outcomes.
In collaboration with the Information Quest team, we're building supervised machine learning models and additional infrastructure to achieve these goals and bridge the gap between research and production. We aim to support the work of researchers and tool developers who want to make use of predictive models, and to impact the broader landscape of higher education through partnerships such as the Unizin Consortium.

API Enhanced Portal 4.1 looks very promising. API Gateway policy manager for writing policies is excellent. It is the best in the industry for policy writing.
API Enhanced Portal 4.1 looks very promising. API Gateway policy manager for writing policies is excellent. It is the best in the industry for policy writing.
CA is the first in the market from the time they acquired Layer 7. They deliver the best API Management solutions.
From 2012, our clients evolved a lot from API Management perspective after using CA.
We are able to expose mission critical APIs to the external world, monetize them, and generate revenue from them in the most secure manner.
CA also drastically improved the capabilities from Gateway, Portal, and OAuth perspective in the last couple of years. This adds more value to our API Management wing.
CA API Portal 3.5 does not support Swagger documentation. If they were to support that, it would be great. However, their focus is on a newer, enhanced version of their API Portal 4.1 Release. However, it is not very mature and there is no direct migration available in the near future. It is not possible for clients to migrate to a newer version.
CA might lose clients mainly for this reason (Swagger Support on API Portal 3.5), unless they develop seamless migration utilities from API portal 3.5 to 4.1.
I have used CA API Management from 2011, when Layer 7 had not yet been acquired by CA.
From an API Portal 4.1 perspective, I did encounter multiple issues.
From an API Portal 4.1 perspective, I encountered scalability issues. They confirmed that they are working on it and in the very near future, it will be available.
CA has very good API Management support. They are very helpful.
We didn't use a solution before this one. CA is the best in the market in terms of stability, scalability, and policy development. They are the best at achieving custom scenarios related to clients (customization) in all perspectives, besides the current API Portal 4.1, as it is not yet matured enough. There is nothing to worry about in the 4.1 portal.
The initial setup was straightforward. CA documentation is pretty clear for anything to do with CA products. They are masters in this industry.
If the CA pricing for API management would be a little lower, they would be able to cover a broader market.
I don't remember the story from 2011, but very recently I did an analysis of MuleSoft, Google, AWS, Apigee, and WSO2. WSO2 came in first, and CA standards came in second.
Follow CA documentation thoroughly.
