Names are powerful things, especially in fiction. When you give a character a certain name, you're on the way to making him well-rounded. The name you choose has an etymological meaning, cultural weight, and a sound that can be pleasant or dissonant to the ear. It's important to be mindful of a name's meanings when you're contemplating giving it to a character.
Whenever I hear a name, I think something like, "I wouldn't name my kid that, but it might make a nice character name."
Current favorite names:
1. Ezra
2. Teresa/Theresa
3. Sarah (I don't really like "Sara" without the h)
4. Jesse (for a guy)
5. Liam
6. Joseph
7. Ava
8. Levi
I've noticed a trend where a lot of novelists give their female main characters masculine names, like Max or Rocky. Maybe they think it makes the character more edgy or something. I also don't like last names used as first names, like Madison or Carson or Mackenzie or Parker. I like traditional, somewhat old-fashioned names with a lot of meaning behind them.
What kind of names do you pick for your characters?

Henry K. Klunder Dies Suddenly Sunday Morning
Death A Great Shock To Family And Community As He Was In Usual Health
Pioneer Resident of County
Bursting of Blood Vessel in Head and Heart Trouble Given as Cause of His Death
This community was shocked last Sunday morning when it became known that Henry K. Klunder had died at his home in this city at a few minutes past midnight that morning.
Mr. Klunder was in his usual health up to almost the moment of his death. Saturday evening he was up town visiting with his friends, and retired about eleven o'clock. A little past midnight Mrs. Klunder heard a queer noise coming from him and she tried to arouse him, but could not and a doctor and near neighbors were summoned. He passed away, however, within about five minutes.
There was every indication that a blood vessel had burst in the head and this together with heart complications are attributed as the cause of his sudden and unexpected death.
Mr. Klunder was a native of Germany and had he lived until Sept. 12th next would have been 64 years of age.
He came to America when a boy and located in Grundy county and has lived in this county ever since. He followed farming until about eight years ago when he moved to town.
Besides a wife he leaves four sons and one daughter by a former marriage, namely; Menno and Ned on the home farm; Daniel and Herman, who are working at farming, and Susie, who lives with her grandfather, Daniel Meester, in the northwest part of the county. There are also three brothers and three sisters; Ben, living in South Dakota; Theo., living north of town, and Fritz, near Beaman; Mrs. Claus Coners, Butterfield, Minn.; Mrs. Sophia Renken, Fern; Mrs. John Zimmerman, northeast of this place.
Mr. Klunder was a man of kind integrity, a good neighbor and a kind friend and as such was held in high esteem by all who knew him.
Funeral services will be held this (Thursday) afternoon at one o'clock from the new Presbyterian church, Rev. H. E. Sinning, pastor of that church, officiating, and from there the remains will be taken to the Siemsen church in Pleasant Valley township where further services will be held and interment will be in the Siemsen cemetery beside his first wife.

Nzuri N Simplicity Turns 1 Today!!! Blogiversary…
Accept yourself, love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.
Roy T. Bennett
Hello nzuri!
We officially made a year TODAY!
First of all, I'd like to thank everyone whom decided to come along on this journey with me. Your support and inspiration has been the driving force for an amazing year!
I've learned so much from family, friends and fellow bloggers from across the world; I consider myself very blessed.
"The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing." – Walt Disney
I can't even begin to tell you how exciting, uncomfortable, freeing and daring this has been for me. Yes, all those emotions come into mind at this moment, BUT I did it!
I completed a year of pushing myself to not giving up, multitasking between family/job obligations and blog while trying to stay true to what it was I wanted to convey on my small piece of internet space.
I call this year a success for Nzuri N Simplicity and I'm looking forward to bigger and better opportunities in the new year.
While I really enjoy this journey, I should also mention that maintaining a blog is a lot of work. From creating content to attempting to get my blog noticed takes a lot of effort. There are post planning, photo shoots, editing the photos, buying clothing (unless you're a sales shopper like me, it can get expensive), social media interaction and more, which all can take up a lot of time; if you really want to succeed at this business.
Yes, you must run it like your business.
"If you are working on something that you really care about, you don't have to be pushed. The vision pulls you." – Steve Jobs
So, I wanted to share how I got through this year and what I've learned along the way:
1. Celebrate the failures and successes.
While I'd like to say that it only takes several photos and we're done per style post, that is simply not true. We have to take so many photos to get the desired finish and on occasions have had to just take the loss of even getting the one we want.
I've talked about one photo shoot I'd done here that we just couldn't get the concept we were looking for but in the end, we sucked it up as a win, posted the pictures we liked most and moved forward.
Sometimes, we've let photos sit for awhile, then come back for a second look and discovered something we could work with. Yet, there are other times, we've posted blurred and bad lighting photos because I just decided to show it all!
So, we celebrate not giving up. We'd started researching on how to take better pictures (basically me getting comfortable in front of the camera), better lighting, looking into apps that assist with editing and finally, learning my camera!
2.Community is key.
Well this speaks for itself! There is absolutely no way I could've made it through this year without my entire family, clan, posse' or gang!
From my husband and son encouraging me to start back blogging to my 8 year old rider/photographer to my in-loves sending feedback/quotes/ suggestions (mom, dad, grandmom, aunts, cousins) to my (mom's sisters) aunites, cousins cheering for me on the sidelines to my friends reading post and sending comments to Mrs. Daenel befriending me and introducing me to the fabulous Ageless Style Ladies (entire group of supporters) to my WordPress followers/supporters/subscribers and instagramers to my linkup bloggers that remind me to continue to be apart of the party to get more exposure and looks at the blog.
I couldn't have done this full year without any of you all! Your words of encouragement truly touch my spirit.
I've learned that when you share your dreams with people who are truly interested in your success, doors will genuinely open. Networking is not a bad thing when you find the right supporters.
3.Do YOU, even when YOU can't grasp what the f$$k YOU want to do.
Excuse my language, but really, this is how I felt at times. I knew that when I started back blogging, fashion and style, was what I wanted to talk about; but I really didnt know how I wanted to portray or deliver my message. Not only do I want to show my style, I want to show my audience that pictures can be altered, inhanced, modified but with all of that we can still show our natural beauty and that's OK too.
I wanted to show how I would wear an ensemble for my 4″11 stature while also encouraging others to show their own styles with what there working with as well. We come in these beautiful, complicated packages in which we just want to display who we really are, show our creativitness and differences freely.
"It's not whether you get knocked down, it's whether you get up." – Vince Lombardi
At times all of the aforementioned was hard for me to convey, yet I'm hoping it came across in the end. Style is how you feel and who YOU are, it's all YOUR perception and interpretation.
4. Be patient and kind to yourself.
When I initially started back I had the IT web tech on speed dial for a couple of months before my first post! The start was really a struggle to get back into, especially when I had post that would magically disappear. My site would have multiple messages about spam, people trying to break into my account, a bad connection and more… It was trying but I really wanted to get this right.
Learning my blogs dashboard over again was seriously all I wanted to do and when I finally stopped pressuring myself to get it all at once, it was like a ray of sunshine, literally; with angels singing.
I took the time to actually READ about my blog themes functions, googled information website designs and asked questions to anyone that would listen; it all started to come together. I've found genuine people in this field that authentically want to help with no agenda; awh inspiring.
Yes, we can all shine like diamonds!
5. Don't wait on anyone.
Remember, you can do whatever you set your mind to do. Will it be hard work (yes), will you have failures (yes), will it take time (yes); is it worth it (YES). But you can't sit around hoping and wishing things are going to change, you have to put forth the action and effort to make things move. You can't wait for opportunites to come your way, you have to go get them!
I've had opportunities for brand collaborations yet some were not the image I wanted to display on the blog. So, this year I will take the iniative to seek out those I'd wish to promote. There are other opportunities in the works as well, it will all work in my favour; I'm declaring it.
Unedited pictures below:
Again, thank you all for your continued encouragement and supports throughout the year, I am so appreciative!
Until next time, thanks for stopping by and remember to keep styling YOU because your STYLE matters!

Oh! Congratulations! I can totally relate to everything you wrote above. You are spot on on everything. It's hard. It's a lot of work. But boy, it's so rewarding. You have to devote a lot of time to the blog but in the end it pays off. I wish you many more years of success. This is just the beginning. 😘

There are a couple things I am involved in that require me to submit articles with word counts. I really enjoy the challenge this presents. It's helped me to be more specific in my use of language and concise in my writing (things i clearly feel no compunction to practice here at sgwordy:). It's also become a source of endless amusement as everything I submit is subjected to copy editing. I'm not all that possessive about what I write and am always happy to get feedback so I can continuously improve my writing; so when changes are made to what I write I generally pay attention and think about how the changes have affected the piece. I find that the alterations are about 50-50 in the helpful department. So anyway, back to the endless amusement...
Because of the word counts I often have to condense my initial drafts. I prefer to shorten them by better use of language rather than cutting information. To that end I usually stare at the computer screen thinking deep thoughts about language, or just keep the articles in the back of my mind for a few days and hope inspiration strikes. It's lovely indeed when the perfect word presents itself and I can shorten the article but keep all the information. I end up feeling such pride over these small accomplishments and relish the wonderfully specific words I've been able to use to express myself. It's almost like the Language Arts equivalent of those word problems we all remember from math class. "You are required to make x amount of points in your article using only y amount of words. Proceed."
So, are we all realizing where this is headed?
Imagine, if you will (and i'm sure you will), sgwordy beaming with pride over her clever ideas and sophisticated application of word precision. There she is, mentally polishing those lovely words, savoring the feeling of accomplishment for hitting her word count while still saying all she had to say just the way she wanted to say it.
Now please picture her reading over her work in print and seeing her perfect word(s) blithely changed by the copy editor.
Oh, snap!
Seriously, all you can do is laugh. There I am polishing my keyboard like I've really managed to say something perfectly but no. Clearly, I have work to do. Better luck next time!
Anyone else out there getting the choppity from a copy editor? How do you react?
ETA: Had to close comments due to the SPAMbots love of this post. Who can explain it...

Uh, yeah... Us legalish folk tend to get a bit verbose. I'm going to practice your word count technique with a review of this blog entry; I think I can do it in just four words.ReplyDelete
Ta da! Woo hoo! Brooke write good. =)
Do you mind if I steal your review for one of my submissions this month? Oh wait! There's a min word count, as well. Dang! I suppose I'll have to plagiarize your writing good another time. Just saving it to a file now...ReplyDelete

My passion sport is Walking & Running! I started it after joining Decath.. before that it was my hobby not passion!! ;)
What's your sport ? And how did you get started ? Let's see what everyone here got to say...
Where am I?
In Huddle you can ask and answer questions and share your experience with others!
My Sport is Football ⚽🏃
I started at the age of 12yrs !!
It was because of one man who inspired me to play the sport i.e RONALDO - the goal machine of Brazil 🏆💪
- My sport is Archery and cycling I got into it through my sir , he was the person who found the talent in me and showed the path of success
I was always cricket passionate since my childhood, when ever I used to get time I always prefer to play Cricket with my friends.
Cycling was never been my love through out my childhood, I used to use Cycle only to commute to Schools.
But today Cycle has become my love, I practice twice in a week, I do MTD Rides and Road Cycling.
I have Rockrider 5.3 and Triban 540.
I prefer Night Rides than the Morning Rides.
It was in my 8th grade as a fat kid that I got laughed at. There was to be a cross country race for districts that I decided I would participate in. I practiced post school and in the early mornings despite the fact that animals lurked in the forest where my house was located at the time. Unbelievably, my practice paid off, I won the race. I got selected for coaching camp for the state meet and I won individuals for Karnataka, being the first for my school. For the first time, Team Karnataka won a bronze in women 4*100 relay nationals. It was a moment of pride indeed!
Due to an ardent stress to pursue my education and forget sport, I was put in a college with no athletic tracks. I took the opportunity to start a college athletics team, called ourselves "No playground athletes" and ran about in football court, sometimes working out on the basketball bleachers and sometimes even in the throw ball court! Some of us got selected for All India Athletics meet and running besides legends like Tintu Luka etc was a fortunate situation.
Besides this, seeing a few good players in Handball, Hockey despite having no proper grounds, courts to play, a team was formed for both sports and we went on to become university winners. When my dad showed his Men's Hockey cup for zonal level under his captaincy in a university, I took a vow to get a women's cup as well. And it all paid off! Now our university Officially has a hockey, handball and athletics team and all sure for sport. I suffered from the drawbacks of a ligament tear for a year but that did not stop me from realising my dreams to pursue my sport passionately!
Very soon recovering from a ligament tear, being 3rd in TCS 10k for Decathlon, this is a start and I aim to make a strong running community in Koramangala, Bangalore!
I have 2 sports that I am really passionate about.
Cycling: I have been working in Decathlon since almost 2 years, and this organisation has introduces me to a lot of sports. But this is one of the best. I started my journey in Pune as a sport leader for Badminton (which I used to practice a lot at that time). In decathlon while working for Badminton, I was introduced to Weekend community rides by Bipin & Gurpreet who were the sport leaders for cycling at that time. I still remember my first ride was 30K on a Rockrider MTB. I couldn't come to work that day. All of you cyclists would understand why. It was my first ride and "you know what" hurted like hell. Nevertheless this first ride got me into cycling. I was the most excited for the next weekend ride and the next 5 days flew by in anticipation.
I have come a long long way in two years now. Still working in Decathlon as a Sport Leader for Cycling (Doing what I love). Now I try to get more people to cycling and try to give them their first 30K.
I recently completed 160K on my road bike, and this time I could go to work after the 160K :P
Football remains the love of my life. Just like no one forgets their first love, I can never stop playing football. I have been playing it since the time i remember. It's such a beautiful game.
Football like meditation to me, I tend to forget about the world when I am playing.
I just have so many memories attached with this sport. Midnight football on the streets with a few friends, school ground with 50 people, 25 in a team. Competitive football at district tournament to playing with strangers.
This is one of the most powerful sport and over the years has united millions of people together atround the world.
Like everyone else , i too have multiple sports and bit of athletics too . My favorite sport is Football , passion sport is Bodybuilding , Sport that i spent most time on is cricket , sport i played for fun is athletics . Just sharing the road-map of each or answering the second part of the question ;
- Cricket : Like every other Indian kid , i started playing cricket at very young age . I saw tendulkar first on screen at the age of 12 if i am not wrong (someone who use a heavy MRF bat ) . My main form of practice was throwing the ball on a wall and then hitting it on a rebound (basically i was fond of batting) . Wanted to be a cricket player but my parents sent me to school :P (i still complain) . Somehow made it to university level , then the sport faded away . Still play as a wicket keeper batsman , whenever i get a chance to play .
- Football : I call this , the best sport the planet has ever seen and football as a globe . Started off late in high school , again mode of practice was the hitting on the wall (my home still have the stains made by the ball :P) . The game which gave me 2 ankle twists and most memories . Still i try to play whenever i get a chance , not with the same aggression and skill set which i once had .
- Bodybuilding : The sport i started very late (22 yrs) , but influenced my life to a greater extend , which gave me the confidence to be a part of Decathlon . In fact very thankful to myself for exploring the sport , reading lot of articles and trying it myself . Had lot of gaps ( even 2 yrs ) where i didn't even hit the gym , but always kept on going back to basics . Right now bodybuilding is the anchor for my life and i see it as the basic thing , which i resort to always .
I love Travelling (Trekking,Hiking and Backpacking) and Cycling too.
I always wanted to explore the unexplored places, Born in Kerala which was my childhood playground in the beginning. I stay 40km away from waynad started exploring the Western Ghats mostly its hills which the elevations are around 2500mtr which are Chembra peak,Banasura hills etc.
2016 I did my first Himalayan Trek in Hampta pass that was my first ever Trek I did and it was solo journey after Hampta pass trek I was backpacking around Himachal, Met alot of people who are same minded then later in
2017 was Himachal again which I did cycling to Solang Valley then Rothang pass,Sarchu pass,Baralalachla pass (15000ft),Spiti,Nako,Tabo
This was my highest elevation gained! Was scared in the beginning of altitude sickness but there was no such issues I faced. Another milestone I reached!
2018 was more of backpacking in South India. Waynad,Ooty,Munnar,Kodaikenal,Gokarna and Hampi
2019 i did Kedarkantha Trek and Gorson bugyal trek in Uttarakhand. Backpacking in Haridwar and Rishikesh. Skiing from Auli
I'm looking forward to face new challenges and explore the beautiful mother nature! :)
Like everybody else, I started Cycling in childhood but eventually, I started to ride with a purpose. Right after I'd finished school and was looking forward to my graduation, I had a few months of free time in between which I wanted to utilize by doing something for my fitness. I started with running for about a month post which I wasn't enjoying it as much. At the same time, I bought a cycle for myself for commuting. I decided to go on morning rides starting from 10-20km and gradually moved up to 50-60km. I really enjoyed riding my bike and exploring new places along with being fit.
I realized that this is something I can do all the time and took up cycling as a regular sport.
My sport is cycling. its not just a sport for me it is like a part of my life, it starts from my childhood itself and still i didn't stopped it and am sure that i cant stop it till the end of my life. I started cycling inspired my brother because he use to stund with cycles and ride so fast in it with me sitting behind it .The first bike i brought was a BSA champ which was a 16 inch one and then i changed a lot of bikes and now am using Rockrider 520 with which i use to commute as well use to tour.
Ever since I was a little girl I have always been close to dance. DANCE is and has always been my Passion. Maybe it's the control of the dancer's body to execute each move flawlessly that delights me? Or it could be the look on the dancers' face that says they're loving what they're doing? Either way, I absolutely love dance. Dance brings so much joy in life. My competence in dance has helped me grow my confidence. Decathlon helped me to see Dance as a sport and not just an Art. It introduced me to Dance Fitness. It makes losing calories a fun session.
If I have to name other sport apart from dance which gives me immense joy is SWIMMING. I love water and I can be in the water for hours. Swimming is extremely relaxing. I love the feeling of floating on the water and feeling almost weightless.
I also am a passionate SPRINTER. Ever since 4th grade of School I have had a huge passion for competitive sports. Excelling as an athlete since my school days and being a part of track and field events has provided me with intense felicity over the years.
Currently, obsessing over new sports like Pilates, Football and Table Tennis which I have started exploring with my fellow teammates.
Boxing, wrestling, trekking hiking and back packing
My sport was boxing and wrestling long time ago and won state level championships in 2009-2010. Then when i was studying in ooty (tamil nadu) i got attached with nature and start exploring the mountains and forests over there. So i started loving the beauty of nature and the fresh air which refreshes me. So i started doing trekking hiking and backpacking. While doing trekking and hiking i learnt more about nature and made me understand how the nature and human are connected. It also made me feel energetic and refreshed in my life and i always love the climbs, risks, decisions and the fun during the treks😊
I like to swim and play badminton. My interest towards playing sports has all started with my dad. He is extremely active person and always love to be fit. He used to wake me up every morning early in the 5 and ask me and my brother to get ready for the fitness training and play badminton. Weekly twice I used to go for my swimming classes.
Although waking up early at 5 am is my least favorite thing in the world, I was left with no choice. But, now I feel great about myself playing sports and thanks to my dad who encouraged or may be forced to be active and to participate in physical activities at the beginning itself. Now, participating in these two activities has become my habit and hobby which I love the most.
I am someone who was a jack of all...master of none till 17 years of age. Then one day while waiting for my table tennis turn in the college gymkhana, my seniors insulted me saying that, "Heyy, you belong to the juniors table!! YOU PLAY OVER THERE!! (However, I had already become a champ of juniors table and considered myself promoted on the senior one). I denied to go there and he further insulted me did not let me play.
THEN I decided, ''I will teach these guys a lesson''. The very next month I joined the nearby Table Tennis club, used to practice on an average 8 hours a day and took my game from beginner to pro in just 3 months.
Now 6 months later after the previous insult incidence, I met this ex-senior in the gymkhana. This guy got defeated by me 21-6 and all time he was open mouthed and then later appreciated for the transforming change in my game.
Since then, there was never looking back. I starting competing in district, state, club and inter college tournaments and started acing in them.
Initially, being a jack of all sports, I decided I should pursue my competency in Table Tennis. It has been 8 years attached with this lovely and addictive sport and will be the same throughout my life
After my B.E, I wanted to pursue my career in sports and that's when I found Decathlon and eventually became the sport leader for Table Tennis. Since, 3 years I am helping Decathlon making Table Tennis accessible to the Mumbai users.
THAT'S MY SHORT, SWEET AND TINY STORY!! Hopefully a book to be written ahead in the next few years :D

Background Is Spyfu Worth It
SpyFu is among the more feature rich tools, but has the Least appealing interface on the market. SpyFu provides SEO and PPC spy tool choices . Is Spyfu Worth It
Click here now to subscribe to Spyfu!
Keyword User and Search Experience
The SpyFu dashboard is laid out using a navigation bar across the top with tabs for SEO Research, PPC Research, Keyword Research, Backlinks, the List Builder, Tracking, and Reports. There's a lot SpyFu can perform throughout the spectrum of SEO tooling, but with this review we're focusing mostly on its ad hoc research capacities. When a business is seeking to identifying the best possible search engine results pages (SERP) to target with an optimization plan, keyword-driven analysis is the legwork to get pages to rank higher. Management capabilities and recommendations are built in throughout SpyFu, but I started from the Keyword Research tab.
When testing each tool, I used exactly the Exact Same set of five Keywords to observe how results differed between every one of my opponents. The five key words that I used were electronic advertising pcmag, online shopping, IT consultant, and small business bookkeeping. I chose this combination to simulate real world terms that businesses might search for (including publishers such as PCMag) and to discover related search results and vulnerable competition websites.
After running searches I discovered that SpyFu creates and structures its key word results and metrics somewhat differently than Moz Guru, KWFinder, or Ahrefs$82.00 at Ahrefs. Rather than populating a table of related keywords with Page Authority (PA) and Domain Authority (DA) metrics together with stats on price per click (CPC) and key word difficulty, SpyFu brings a far more apparent correlation with exactly how much money a key word is worth. After hunting"digital advertising," for example, another navigation bar appeared round the top of the results page further breaking down the search results. You can then drill down into key word summary, related key words, advertiser history, status background, backlinks, keyword grouping, and SERP analysis. That is just for a single keyword revealing how SpyFu will the most granular investigation into data of the tools I tested.
Atop the results, SpyFu gave me not CPC for the Keyword, but a daily and monthly cost breakdown in addition to the number of unique advertisers had emerged on the key word in the last year. I got exactly the exact same degree of cost breakdown when I clicked on the Related Keyword, which also allowed me to narrow results using a left-hand filter menu to a particular cost every day, daily search volume, difficulty score, and much more.
In the bottom of the results that are key word was the SERP analysis. This broke down each URL in the search results page, even though KWFinder and Moz Pro equally offer a more comprehensive breakdown in this respect. SpyFu focuses. Results such as the Advertiser History chart, a long list and complex diagram of the ads appearing on this search page over time, was somewhat too from the weeds for me as a newcomer SEO tool user. However, for advertisers and digital marketers, SpyFu can be a gold mine. Is Spyfu Worth It
SpyFu Kombat
With SpyFu Kombat you can look at overlapping and website Certain keywords To get up to 3 sites. For your PPC version you can also see a chart which goes back over a period of a few years demonstrating that the general amount of key words being bid on by all 3 websites. You may also rollover the chart to see keywords specific to only two of the sites if you feel the 3rd website might not be doing as good a job (or vice versa) as two of the other sites. It is going to also show you the PPC budgets of the sites in addition to the amount of organic keywords ranking in the top 50 results for said keyword.
When you click it will show you that the Key words in whatever bucket you click, to the right of the chart. It is possible to see and download those keywords for your use. As you can see I'm on the advertisements tab but the choices are comparable once you click the organic tab (on the top box, the natural one on the bottom shows you complete organic key words ).
Switching between the natural tab along with the ppc tab (also as the Total # of organic search phrases + PPC ad budget must also give you an idea of which of the bigger sites are more into the PPC or SEO aspect of things that may be a fantastic barometer to look in if you chance to be concentrating on one place over the other.

Keyword Management and Reports
Keyword direction is baked in to SpyFu throughout the platform. Within each of its three main research tabs–SEO, PPC, and Keyword–there are options from the drop-down menus for both SEO and PPC-specific keywords and phrases, and Keyword Groups. The Keyword Groups attributes in each tab are fairly similar, populating a table using minimal search volume, CPC, problem score, and monthly cost. These are SpyFu's four chief metrics where key word research is worried. On the left of the table are either the key words you've researched and booted yourself, or top keyword group suggestions from SpyFu. On the top right of this table you can then add selected key words for lists, or export your chosen keyword within an Microsoft Excel file, CSV, or PDF. This basic keyword category performance is similar to SEMrush$99.95 at SEMrush and executed better in Moz Professional and KWFinder.
Where SpyFu's keyword management abilities really stand Out are in its List Builder and Tracking tabs. This is also where SpyFu creates its deep link between SEO and customer relationship management (CRM). From the List Builder tab, there's a Top Lists segment with targeted lists of domains and keywords like"Assets Which Spend the maximum On AdWords," keywords with the highest CPC. There's also a listing of the most expensive keywords, which you can then filter by state, industry, or a particular web-based technology: Ad buying platform, affiliate marketing, email marketing, and online shopping cart are a few of the choices.
Next to Top Lists, there is a dedicated Company Leads tab. This essentially acts exactly the same manner You enter a location, key words and businesses, and refine results using filters such as AdWords budget and SEO clicks. The research then returns a list of URL leads with that site advertising budget and contact information that may subsequently be exported to your CRM or direct management system. I'd love to view SpyFu go a step farther with this and incorporate its own SEO lead lists directly using a platform such as Salesforce$75.00 in salesforce.com, but the tool is already ahead of the curve. SEMrush includes a beta generation instrument, but that is the closest any optimization merchandise I tested comes to what SpyFu offers.
But, SpyFu incorporated AdWords Templates as Part of a Google AdWords campaign. The templates include prewritten advertisements for groups in hundreds of businesses. Users can download the templates from the SpyFu site and then upload into a AdWords account.
The system also includes deeper SEO campaign management Using its My SpyFu Project Manager tool. SpyFu designed this as a project management(PM) feature inside the SEO platform for tackling integrated key word research and rank monitoring within a campaign. My SpyFu is only available in paid programs (not the free trial), but it allows you to install multiple jobs tracking grouped key words plotted against SEO position, traffic worth, ROI, and numerous other metrics. All you have to do is open the My SpyFu menu and include a new project. It's the only and greatest example in this roundup of built-in, SEO-focused PM.
There is also the Tracking tab, which lets you choose You begin tracking that keyword ranking changes and reports back together with domain positions and've identified. Using the webpage, I was able to prepare custom SEO reports in a few simple measures: Enter a domain name and then choose whether or not to run a document on SpyFu's suggested custom key words or domain key words. I entered my five habit keywords picked up to five opponents' URLs, and then was given the choice to run either a report or a recurring monthly report.
This sort of competitive analysis is another area in which SpyFu stands out, as it also has a tool called"Kombat" that's offered from the SEO and PPC Research tabs. In PCMag's domain, I typed in Kombat along with the instrument built an interactive data visualization that showed where the top key words of PCMag overlapped with our competitors. There's also what SpyFu calls a"keyword universe," listing CPC, CTR, monthly price, and monthly clicks to get core keywords and advocated keywords. This research breakdown is another feature which helps unearth ways for one to acquire an SEO advantage on your competitors. Is Spyfu Worth It
Along with the SEO functionality of its product, SpyFu has introduced a study tool named Nacho Analytics, which provides access to the web analytics of different websites. Through this stage, you can see on-page behavior , time-of-day traffic, and segments.
Keyword Advertisement History
Ad History will show you, via color coded bars frequently the Keyword appeared in a domain PPC campaign alongside any changes in the advertisement copy (all of which can be exported into excel). It extends back to 2006 through the Bonus History Button and reveals a year's worth of information.
So it is pretty straightforward, and that's exactly what I like about SpyFu Tools. No over-reliance on"in-house metrics" it is only"here's the advertisement history of this keyword", plain and simple. Normally, if you see a keyword being advertised on by a good PPC advertiser consistent then it's possible to look to apply that ad copy technique to a market of that keyword. If I were advertisements for"hotels in Oklahoma" I might pay attention to what ad copy was successful, over time, for that main/core key word"resorts".
Domain Ad History
Domain Ad History is similar to Keyword Ad History except it shows the History of a particular domain.
This instrument is useful in looking at keywords that have been effective for Your opponents (or larger players on your market ) and which ones they attempted and left (which could be ones that you prevent from the gate). All of this assumes the domain you're currently researching is capable PPC advertiser.
Keyword Smart Search
The Keyword Smart Search instrument in SpyFu utilizes word connections, Publicly available keyword data, and PPC campaign information to return a list of keywords related to the keyword(s) (up to 10) you enter. You could filter by CPC, look volume, as you can see, and you can also exclude key words.
For me, I would rather use the Organic key words found as well as the PPC keywords In either SpyFu Classic or SpyFu Kombat. I love to use different tools for pure keyword research (Google tools, Microsoft Ad Center Intelligence, and Wordtracker). I feel SpyFu is at its best when employed as a competitive research tool versus a research tool. Is Spyfu Worth It
Pricing and Plans
As I mentioned, SpyFu's Fundamental plan begins at $33 per Month when billed annually (roughly $39 month-to-month). Though, unlike other tools within this SEO tool inspection roundup, for example Moz Guru and KWFinder$12.00 at KWFinder, SpyFu doesn't cost by search success. All plans come with an unlimited number of keyword collection domain, backlink, and competitor/domain comparison search results combined with data export. The functionality you get with SpyFu for your price is an important element in the reason we gave it an Editors' Choice, along with the boundless search volumes make the instrument much more attractive for study that is keyword that is ad hoc.
That's not to say SpyFu does not cap anything. The Fundamental Program gives you a capacity of 250 sales leads and domain contacts, and 5,000 weekly monitored keyword positions, together with 10 domain name reports and 10 pay-per-click (PPC) reports through SpyFu's AdWords Advisor tool. The $78-per-month Professional plan (also $58 per month when billed yearly ) lumps contacts and leads to 500 and weekly tracked keyword positions to 15,000, along with custom-branded reports and accessibility to SpyFu's application programming interface (API).
Ultimately, SpyFu has included a $199 per month Team program (billed annually, or $299 month-to-month) with 2,000 sales leads and domain contacts, 40,000 weekly monitored keyword positions, and five user logins. SpyFu also includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. Overall the company has slashed on its pricing.
I find that their tools helpful for research. I do not use Their Keyword Smart Search which They give (in a simple fashion) in the price points they provide is quite A combination that is wonderful. SpyFu makes its way Every undertaking. Is Spyfu Worth It

Coloring Is Educational
Coloring is not simply enjoyable for the kids; it is an academic experience. For instance, it stimulates the children to keep an eye out for colors in genuine things and be extra mindful of the world around them.
The coloring sheet is additionally an excellent platform for kids to find out about scientific research: the difference between the crayons (strong) and water shades (liquid), or that the color can get completely dry as well as stick permanently on the sheet of paper … the listing continues. If we observe thoroughly, we can see the children draw and also quit for a minute, as well as attract once again. The "time out" is most likely the moment when they have observed as well as found out something fascinating, and their minds are hectic at the workplace.
What is excellent about this educational experience is that the kids are finding out via discovery, and also this is a much more reliable way compared to lecturing or any kind of spoon feeding of info that might occur in the classroom at later phase of the child's life.
Tinting Is Therapeutic
I am not recommending that your child requires any treatment; but it holds true that in the 21st century, much of us are pressing our youngsters to the limitations by supplying extremely simulating activities and registering all kind of "fun" classes for your precious little ones. I do assume the youngsters are obtaining smarter, but in a means they obtain emphasized out a lot more easily, leading to temper tantrums and also occasionally defiant behavior.
Coloring comes in useful because it produces a crucial silent time for the youngsters. Throughout this break, the kids could in fact do whatever they desire on the coloring sheet, servicing something on their own speed as well as their own style, and also achieving a task all on their own. I think everybody of us needs a break, and also in some cases we neglect that our very own kids require one too, because playing is benefit them, allow alone attending all those activities and classes.
So altogether, I genuinely believe that coloring is a creative, education as well as healthy and balanced activity for all our children. Next time when you should do something with your child, get the crayons, markers as well as tinting pencils and color away. You must participate too – I am sure you will certainly discover it unwinding and very pleasurable as well!

Book review: I Sing the Glory of this Land – Translated Verses of Bharathiyar
Reviewed by Bhaswati Ghosh
Title: I Sing the Glory of this Land
Author: Bharathiyar, Translated by M. Rajaram
Publisher: Rupa Publications India (2018)
Pages: 240 (Hardcover)
Subramania Bharati first came to me in the arguably less-than-inspiring pages of my history- and-civics textbook in middle and high school. Though not exactly a footnote, without the presence of his poetry or the context of his scholarship and vision, his was merely another name to remember as part of the annals of India's freedom movement. Such is the unfortunate, even exanimate nature of our education system. When his name reappeared in a series of interviews I did with former students of Tamil schools in Delhi in relation to a current non-fiction project, Bharati came across as a towering figure who continues to serve as the spiritual and linguistic compass for Tamil children similar to what Tagore does for their Bengali counterparts. Reading through I Sing the Glory of this Land, M. Rajaram's recent book of translations of Bharati's verses, I could see why.
While I'm disadvantaged by my lack of Tamil to appreciate the cadence and music of the original, the clear-eyed directness of Bharati's (popularly known as Bharathiyar) verses didn't fail to strike me. As did the expanse of his poetic canvas. The eleven sections of the book – including God, Freedom, Bharath, Women and Children and Nature – bear out this multiplicity of themes even as they trace their intersections. Kneading them together is Bharati's unwavering accent on liberty, equality and fraternity — the three pillars of the French Revolution — as he envisioned them in British-ruled India.
Human dignity is one of Bharati's preoccupations and manifests itself in poems like "Labour" with exuberance. In the scope of that single poem, he places workers, farmers and creative artists on the same plane — each group celebrated for its contributions to mankind.
As a writer and a journalist, Bharati played a vital role in India's freedom movement. The poems in the "Freedom" section, while throbbing with a genuine love for one's country, don't shy away from raising difficult questions. In "Thirst for Freedom", he asks,
'Are famine and disease alone our wealth?
Then for whom the laurels are?'
— a rhetorical question that sadly remains relevant even today as the starvation and deaths of peasants is contrasted by erecting the world's tallest statue and launching bullet trains. In today's stifling atmosphere of hyper nationalism, Bharati's poem "Pseudo Patriot" seems oddly prescient in its critique of shrill jingoism masquerading for love of one's country. Consider these lines:
'"Women's honour, devotion to God"
Thus blabber their tongues
O parrot! Indeed they are
All utterly faithless'
Several of Bharati's poems are on gender equality, underscoring the role of women in creating a progressive, harmonized social base.
Similar to his emphasis on treating women with dignity and on an equal footing with respect to men was Bharati's forceful criticism of the caste system. Imbued with a sensibility that brings to mind the pioneering educationists and caste reformers Jyotiba Phule and Savitribai Phule, his is a voice that's passionate in decrying the curse of casteism. In "Liberty" and "Drum", Bharati expresses his consciousness for both these causes with lines like, 'None is low-born here,' and 'Let us burn the folly/that disgraces women.'
A polyglot, Bharati knew Hindi, Sanskrit, English and French. This linguistic plurality didn't diminish his love of Tamil, his mother tongue. I Sing the Glory of this Land has an entire section called "Tamil and Tamil Nadu". In "Tamil Language", a poem distinctly reminiscent of Atul Prasad Sen's song "Moder Gorob Moder Asha" in praise of the Bengali tongue, Bharati evokes celebrated poets of his land and makes a clarion call for preserving and propagating the Tamil language by translating its classics and taking them to the wider world.
The collection translated by M. Rajaram also contains Bharati's poems on spirituality. The last section is on episodes from the Mahabharata, particularly focusing on Draupadi's disrobing. In "Oath of Draupathi" (Panjali), Bharati's Draupadi minces no words in her desire for the retribution of her abusers, Dushshasana and Duryodhana.
'The red blood of the sinner Duchadhana
Must flow to meet the blood gushing from
The blasted wretched Duryodhana's body
I'll soak my tresses at their confluence
Then bathe myself clean
And scent my hair with fragrant oil
And gather it all into a bun, and not before,' she says.
Rajaram's translations of this great Tamil poet are fluent and are evidently true to the spirit in which Bharati penned them. Even after a hundred years since many of these were written, the poems read relevant and even timely because of Subramania Bharati's worldview — eclectic and inclusive at once, rejecting all boundaries that cause division between humans.
As they were in those heady days of India's freedom movement, Bharathiyar's songs of liberty, equality and fraternity are a much needed call-to-action today.

TOBi Inspired by Surrealism in Seductive New Video // Recent Co-Sign by the Game
Nigerian-Canadian up-and-coming artist, TOBi released his latest visual for "Sweet Poison" today on all platforms. Conceptually the song was inspired by Sigmund Freud's repetition compulsion theory where a person endlessly repeats patterns of behavior that were difficult or distressing in earlier in life. From falling for the same kind of person to being excited by the danger of the unknown, TOBi re-lives a plethora of emotion similar to the psychological theory. In the sultry track TOBi shows a prominent part of the human experience by being open about his personal vices. The song is produced by Nate Smith & Nahum while the video is directed by Ryan Charles Griffin.
"My vision for this video was to turn my ideas into literal art pieces and bring out magical elements similar to my favorite surrealist artists. I try to be multidimensional and bridge the world of fantasy with reality to defy the limits," says TOBi.
TOBi will be performing a homecoming show in Toronto on May 3rd, @ The Drake Hotel. Tickets can be purchased here.

It is always difficult to deal with the loss of a loved one. But a death in the family can be made worse when survivors find there is no guidance for how to preserve and share the assets of a family member's estate.
There are guidelines in the state of Illinois for how to treat the assets of people who die without a will (called "intestate" under Illinois law). The family has it best when a person takes time to plan his or her estate, preferably with legal counsel. An attorney can help determine the safest ways to disperse property and money.
Who is considered an heir to a person who died intestate?
Illinois probate courts will consider a decedent's family tree to determine who deserves property and assets from an estate. A surviving spouse with no children receives the entire estate after taxes and other deductions. A spouse with children will evenly split the estate with those children. Children of two deceased spouses will divide the estate equally amongst them.
Who is in charge of executing these standards?
The administrator of the estate of a person who died intestate is the person most closely related to the deceased. People who are equally closely related to the decedent may agree on which person becomes the administrator or defer to the court to make the decision.
Does any part of the estate go to the government?
Other than taxes and debts, the state does not collect a person's estate unless no other heirs can be identified. If this is the case, real estate and personal property will go to the county in which the decedent resided.

Why Application Performance Management Matters Now
As we rely more on virtualization and cloud, APM systems keep enterprise applications running at top speed for users. More system mapping, data analytics are among key needs.
Today's average business application typically runs in a virtual machine, with several branches that go off the application server and out to a completely different application for a particular function or piece of data. In some cases, that branching operation may not even be on premises. As cloud computing takes hold, the scenario of going out of the network to obtain what your application needs will become more commonplace, leading to more headaches for the struggling art of application performance monitoring. It's always been difficult to see what's going on inside the application. At the same time, doing so has become more crucial as applications become one of the main ways that customers interact with companies they wish to do business with. The modern application performance management (APM) system requires an ability to see an application and its dependencies, compile statistics on normal operations, perform real-time analysis to detect anomalies, and do diagnostics to determine what can be done to correct what's gone wrong. No systems perform all functions perfectly, despite bringing some new strengths to the process. Read full story on InformationWeek

Squad news
14 Feb 2020
Deportivo will try to increase its run of good results facing a team thats currently in promotion places. Fernando Vázquez recovers Sabin Merino and Salva Ruiz.
Referee: Jorge Figueroa Vázquez
VAR Official: Óliver de La Fuente Ramos
Kick-off: 21h00 CET (Riazor)
Deportivo and Girona FC are living good moments and both have a lot to do with their defensive performance. The Catalans suffered an unexpected defeat a month ago at CD Tenerife (1-0), but since then they have added 7 of the next 9 points and are currently dragging a mark of 204 minutes without conceding goals. Meanwhile, Depor have chained 7 straight wins, and only allowed 2 goals in the 6 games under the command of Fernando Vázquez.
The run of 7 straight wins for Deportivo after spending 19 games without winning in the league is a drastic change newer sawn before in the league. In the case of Girona CF, they are precisely missing a long run of good results. So far, they have been unable to chain tree straight victories, and for this reason they have been going in and out of the promotion zone.
And among the problems of the Catalans is their weak performance playing on the road. They have only won three away games and their 11 points in 13 visits represents the fourth worst mark at Segunda, only above Racing Santander (10), Sporting Gijón (10) and CD Lugo (9).
Coach Fernando Vázquez has finally found the stability that he wanted. The problems with injuries and the winter market have been forcing him to make changes from one game to the other, but now the problems are over and he is finally able to repeat a lineup if he wants to do it.
Now the question is if he will keep playing with a system with five defenders and if he will make changes for tactical reasons. Its expected that he will repeat the 5-4-1, and the main doubt if he will recall Salva Ruiz and Sabin Merino in order to claim the spots of Víctor Mollejo and Mamadou Koné.
Team news: Christian Santos, Sabin Merino and Salva Ruiz received the okay to play, but only the last two were picked for the game. Uche Agbo is out as he needs to gain fitness, so the only player at the injury room is Claudio Beauvue. Luis Ruiz, Borja Valle, and David Simon are out for tactical reasons.
Man to watch: Striker Sabin Merino. The re-born attacker will be a starter and will try to extend his run of appearances with goals facing a team that has been solid in recent matches.
Picked players: (18) Dani Giménez, Aleksandar Jovanović (goalkeepers); Eneko Bóveda, Michelle Somma, Javi Montero, Mujaid Sadick, Salva Ruiz (defenders); Álex Bergantiños, Vicente Gómez, Gaku Shibasaki, Peru Nolaskoain, Ager Aketxe, Emre Çolak, Víctor Mollejo, Keko Gontán (midfielders) Mamadou Koné, Hugo Vallejo & Sabin Merino (attackers)
Predicted lineup: (5-4-1) Dani Giménez Bóveda, Somma, Mujaid, Montero, Mollejo Aketxe, Nolaskoain, Gaku Shibasaki, Çolak Sabin Merino.
The huge financial difference with this seasons salary cap hasnt been reflected at the standings. Girona FC started the season with a salary cap of 29.28 million, the highest in the league and it meant ten more million than second place UD Almeria. But the team has had an unstable performance in the league, combining good results with mediocre scores, and in the end they have been unable to chain three straight wins.
They are currently fifth, but the big pressure due to the high expectations has provoked to have three coaches already, the last one is José Luis Martí, who has been unable to change this uncertain behavior. But the Majorcan coach arrives to the meeting at the Riazor with the sense that something is changing. They have a big test that could break the barrier of achieving a third straight win, and also with the sense that they are now strong in defence after spending 204 minutes without conceding a goal.
Team news: Striker Jonathan Soriano is out for injury reasons. Centre-back Ignasi Miquel is also out after not recovering from a muscle problem. Left-back Johan Mojica is back after a suspension, while midfielder Gerard Gumbau wasnt picked after been a starter in the previous games.
Man to watch: Striker Cristhian Stuani. The Uruguayan is probably the highest paid player at Segunda, and he is also the top-scorer with 20 goals scored in 23 appearances. He scored once in the first-round game at Montilivi (3-1).
Picked players: (18) Juan Carlos Martín, Asier Riesgo (goalkeepers); Johan Mojica, Jonás Ramalho, Pedro Alcalá, Brian Oliván, Juanpe Ramírez, Christian Rivera, Pablo Maffeo (defenders); Àlex Granell, Jairo Izquierdo, Borja García, Aday Benítez, Samu Saiz, Jozabed Sánchez (midfielders); Christian Stuani, Álex Gallar &Brandon Thomas (attackers)
Predicted lineup: (4-4-2) Asier Riesgo Maffeo, Juanpe, Alcalá, Johan Mojica Aday, Granell, Christian Rivera, Borja García Brandon Thomas, Stuani.

It's been busy here in Melbourne, although I'm struggling to write this dairy at the moment as recently I've found myself worrying about what people might think of me, rather than writing anything honest or real. I don't want to be dishonest, yet I fear to present an unsatisfying narrative – because as I have said before, contentedness doesn't make for a particularly riveting read, and content I am. And so I generally compromise and write nothing. It's a strange thing I find myself doing now, then: posting an article into a very public sphere, with an introductory caveat explaining how very shy I feel. An odd dichotomy indeed, but there it is.

Are We Now, Or Have We Ever Been by Goodtime Boys (2011)
Kind of Like: Bastions, Kerouac, La Quiete
Genres: Screamo, Thrash, Punk
Preview: Bandcamp
I got a bunch of posts on hand, so I am going to keep these write-ups short and sweet for now. If you put a gun to my head and asked me why you should give a shit about this band, when there are plenty of other UK hardcore bands somewhat like this out there right now. I would say that while Kerouac and Bastions have a mathcore and thrash feel, they don't have nearly as much of a screamo feel as these guys. Don't get me wong Goodtime Boys can be disjunct, thrashy and mathy, but in a lot of cases they will have flowing, melodic (yet dissonant) guitar lines that is characteristic of bands like bands like La Quiete, especially as the album goes on. I don't even know if that makes sense.
Listen Here:
Labels: Goodtime Boys, Punk, Screamo, Thrash

Apple Makes a Change in AR Leadership
Apple has appointed longtime marketing leader Frank Casanova to Senior Director, Worldwide Product Marketing at Apple Augmented Reality, according to Casanova's LinkedIn profile. Here's our quick take:
- Apple remains committed to AR but is likely not satisfied with its AR marketing efforts to date. While it's been disappointing, we remain bullish on AR and bullish on Apple using its vast resources to will the theme into reality.
- We initially expected Apple's AR marketing efforts to be a "rolling thunder," building excitement for new applications of augmented reality on iPhone and iPad. In reality, Apple's AR marketing efforts over the last year and a half since iOS 11 shipped have been more of a light drizzle.
- Apple has recently expanded the roles of two 30-year company veterans with Deirdre O'Brien's promotion to Head of Retail + People and now with Casanova. It begs the question: is Apple trying to rekindle the magic of its high-growth period with leadership that has a proven track record within the company?
- There are a host of factors contributing to the slow uptake of mobile augmented reality: 1. The only VCSEL array on the iPhone is low-powered and front-facing; a world-facing VCSEL array on a future iPhone ( we expect in late 2020) will be a step change for AR. 2. There are just a few compelling AR uses cases on iOS (see below). 3. Apple has not gotten consumers excited about AR. Showcasing an AR game at WWDC once a year doesn't cut it.
- There are some compelling use cases for AR today (see Animoji, Streem, and LEGO) and on the horizon (see Lyft and Google Maps).

When you think of famous inventors of the past, Alexander Graham Bell, and Thomas Edison come to mind, but have we forgot the great inventions created by women? Here are a few to add to your memory bank.
1. The Windshield Wiper
Back in 1903 this was invented from necessity to keep snow and ice from making driving hazardous. Invented by Mary Anderson, she filed for the patent in 1903 and was awarded it in 1904. Now we take this gadget for granted in each car and truck on the road.
Ruth Wakefield back in 1930, was making cookies for the inn her and her husband owned named toll house. When she ran out of baker's chocolate she broke up some pieces of semi sweet chocolate thinking it would mix in to the cookies and when it didn't the chocolate chip cookies (and dough) was born.
Elizabeth Maggie, built a board game named "the Landlord's game" to show the tragic effects of land-grabbing, and the classic board game Monopoly was born. The patent was applied for in 1903 and granted in 1904.
Dr. Maria Telkes, a Hungarian native, was the first person to invent solar home heating system in the 1940's.
While the person who invented it is unknown, historian Jane Payton, explained that women have been the brewers of beer for thousands of years. Women were the only ones allowed to tend bar and serve beer also. Beer was considered a gift from the Goddess.
Margaret Knight was sure there was a better more useful way for a bag to be useful without square bottoms. So she developed a way to cut the bottom of the bag and fold it to a square bottom. Charles Annan stole her design and said that a women could not have come up with such a complicated design. Knight sued him by saying the prototype was rightfully hers and won, she was granted the patent in 1871.
The first known fire escape was created in 1879 by Anna Connelly. Later it became a mandatory safety code requirement for many buildings.
Stephanie Kwolek's research with DuPont came up with the compound we now use in bulletproof vests, known as Kevlar. The materials were patented in 1966.

It seems Windows 10 has repeatedly proven itself as a reliable and easy to use operating system. Even so, the operating system created as carefully as possible may not be separated from errors that may arise when he operated. Someday, you may experience moments where applications can not run, files deleted or corrupt, and other problems.
Along with the possibility of errors that can appear at any time, turning Windows 10 into a moment where the system is still working properly becomes the most sensible action that can be done. Of course this is possible to do thanks to the System Restore feature that is provided on the platform of Windows 10. This article will help you to activate System Restore Windows 10 to restore the operating system operating normally.
What is System Restore?The basic concept of System Restore is actually simple. When you operate a PC, the Windows operating system records system performance within a certain time. The recorded information is usually about the application, data, and operating system itself. That information is then stored on the hard drive.
Then when you find something wrong with Windows, System Restore will help you get back to the point where everything is going well. That way you can still control the situation without having to feel panic.
What's interesting is the System Restore feature will not interfere with the existence of document data, images, and so on (so the system will keep it), even if any application installed after a restore point is created will be lost when the feature is enabled. In general, features like System Restore can be a lifesaver when things go wrong in Windows 10 that you use.
It's just that most users of Windows 10 may have never activated the point of System Restore, and in fact this is a problem.
Enable System Restore Windows 10To enable System Restore, all you need to do is open the File Explorer window, then right-click on this PC option and then select Properties.
Then select the System Protection >>> Configure option. Then make sure that you have checked the Turn on System Protection option. At this point you can then adjust how much hard drive capacity you want to allocate to activate System Restore.
For the record, select the Create option in the System Protection menu if you have never created a restore point.
Usually space of 20GB is enough when allocated System Restore. But if you only have a hard drive with limited capacity, then you should use the option of an external hard drive.
Click OK when finished determining the hard drive capacity for System Restore. Once System Restore is enabled, you will know what to do when Windows 10 has an error.
Use System Restore from the Settings menuOne of the easiest methods to use System Restore is to use the Settings menu. To do so, open the Start Menu and type Control Panel. From there type Recovery in the search bar, then point the target to Recovery >> Open System Restore >> Next.
Here you will be presented a number of options related restore point. Select one of the most needed, then select Next >> Finish. Windows will then restore the normal system time point that has been stored before.
Hopefully, System Restore can be a solution to error problems that may arise after you install certain software, or if there is corrupt on certain types of Windows files that cause the system is not working properly.

Facebook must break itself to fix toxic ads
IT IS A sure sign that Facebook's algorithms have run amok when they allow anyone to target ads to people with an expressed interest in burning Jews. Likewise, when Russians can sow chaos in American elections by purchasing thousands of phony Facebook ads without Facebook realizing it, the automated systems selling those ads may need some oversight.
Two incidents in recent weeks have highlighted how Facebook's advertising network—the cornerstone of its half-trillion-dollar valuation—is as susceptible to manipulation and bigotry as its news feed. Facebook addresses each problem as it arises, in isolation. But maybe it's time for Facebook to acknowledge that it can't solve these problems alone and to ask for help—before governments offer their own "help."
In academia and other corners of tech, peer review is the norm. Cybersecurity companies hire outsiders to poke holes in their infrastructure and find vulnerabilities they may have missed. They don't view that as sacrificing trade secrets or spilling their special sauce. If anything, they view this extra vetting as a competitive advantage.
Compare that to Facebook's approach. "No outside researcher has ever had that kind of access," says Antonio García Martínez, a former Facebook ads product manager. "That's not the mode Facebook likes operating in."
Instead, Facebook prefers operating as an island, free to make its own rules and fix its own flaws. It tends to fix known flaws piecemeal. After ProPublica found that Facebook created violently anti-Semitic ad categories based on the content of user profiles, the company removed those categories. Facebook also said it would stop using content in users' profiles to target ads until it has "the right processes in place to help prevent this issue." A week earlier, after Facebook discovered some 5,000 political ads linked to Russian actors, the company shut down the accounts that had bought the ads and vowed to explore "improvements to our systems for keeping inauthentic accounts and activity off our platform."
Through all of these vows, Facebook has remained characteristically secretive. It has declined to share much about the Russia-linked ads, though the Wall Street Journalreported Friday that the company gave detailed recordsabout the purchases to special counsel Robert Mueller. A Facebook spokesperson declined to comment on whether the company had taken any steps to root out bigoted ad categories before the ProPublica report. That leaves open two possibilities: either Facebook didn't realize its technology could be used for that purpose, or it knew and did nothing about it.
Facebook may want to be an island, but it's an island on which 2.2 billion people live, and it has proven time and again that it is either incapable of or disinterested in anticipating such vulnerabilities. There are ways Facebook could try to anticipate them. The company stress-tests its tech. It could do the same for its moral compass.
"You need to have a mindset that you want to break the system," says Suresh Venkatasubramanian, a computer scientist at University of Utah, who specializes in algorithmic ethics and transparency. "You're not attacking it to make the system fall apart. You attack it from the perspective of: What can we ask the system to do that if a human did it would seem racist or vile?"
Venkatasubramanian suggests Facebook set up a "red team" of researchers to investigate the unintended consequences of its technology. When it identifies and fixes a problem, it should reveal how it reached its conclusions, so other researchers can help the company identify potential blind spots.
That would require a massive cultural shift within the company. Facebook's first line of defense when it comes to these issues, is almost always to identify them as fringe cases. "An extremely small number of people were targeted in these campaigns," the company noted in its blog postabout the anti-Semitic ad categories.
That's often true. Martinez calls the ProPublica findings a "total red herring" and "a stupid lark from ProPublica. Of course you could find this," Martinez says. "It doesn't mean anybody actually was [targeted this way]. The reach was super small."
But add up the small cases—$150,000 in a Russian influence campaign here, an ad targeted at a few thousand Nazis there—and it can feel like Facebook has planted a million landmines around the internet and left them to explode while it tends to greener pastures. Unless Facebook starts to think of these problems as endemic, it may never take adequate steps to mitigate them.
That's not to say it would be easy or that Facebook is unique among internet companies. Buzzfeed found Friday that Google lets people advertise against terms like "black people ruin neighborhoods." During the 2016 election, money from Google advertising helped pay for a slew of fake news sites run by Macedonian teenagers. Many, if not all, automated ad platforms can be exploited for malicious purposes. That's all the more reason why Google, Facebook, and others should share more information about how they're attacking the problem.
Otherwise, regulators may well force their hands. Democratic Senator Mark Warner and others want Facebook and other tech companies to testify about Russian interference in the 2016 election. He says the revelations about the Russian ads open "a whole new arena."
Martinez thinks digital political ads should be regulated the way political ads on television are regulated, including disclaimers about who's paying for the ad. "Facebook needs to know its customer," Martinez says.
That wouldn't have stopped a Russian propaganda group from buying ads related to hot-button social issues that weren't specifically about the election. But Martinez says Facebook could develop the technology to flag politically charged ads for extra scrutiny the same way it flags ads related to alcohol. "If you tried advertising alcohol in Ohio to teens?" Martinez says. "Banned."
Facebook could set up similar systems for bigoted content in ads. Until now, it's shown little interest. More rigorous vetting would mean taking more than 15 minutes to approve or reject an ad. It would also require more human beings. But Facebook didn't become a $497 billion social-networking giant by relying on humans. It did so by allowing machines to take over our world.

Kovesi and Legal Reasoning
Patterson, Dennis (2012) Kovesi and Legal Reasoning In: Meaning and Morality: Essays on the Philosophy of Julius Kovesi. Studies in Moral Philosophy . Brill, pp. 139-142. ISBN 9789004218086Full text not available from this repository.
Julius Kovesi's accomplishment in Moral Notions is without limit. Kovesi has the more powerful account of conceptuality. Hart would have benefited greatly from Kovesi's distinction between formal and material elements. It provides precisely the correct antidote to debates that never lift themselves out of sparring about particular features of diverse objects. If this is not progress, then to know what is. Kovesi's accomplishment was in giving us a complete and utterly convincing account of what we mean when we say 'these two things are the same'. No one in legal theory has provided a better account of this form of reasoning.

Welcome to Monday.
Here we are at the start of another week. The weather had been truly lovely during the weekend. Overcast, cool and drizzly at times. I think it made people crave autumn. On Saturday I popped in to a local craft store to pick up some fabric. Lo and behold, their parking lot was full and so was their store. Fall decor abounded like you wouldn't believe. Oranges and browns. Pumpkins and gourds. The lines at the cash registers were ten to twenty people deep. People were craving fall decorations. Leaves, ribbons, wreaths and knick-knacks filled arms and shopping carts. In my mind I asked them: where do you guys store all this stuff once the season is over? I don't know if it's just a Texas thing or what, but housewives here go all out decorating their homes for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Easter, etc. I've been in homes where every room is decorated with evergreen trees and Christmas ornaments. I just can't imagine digging all this stuff out of storage and then repacking them once the holidays are over. To each their own, I suppose.
In celebration of this wonderful week ahead (I'm choosing to be carefree and optimistic), I baked. With vintage jazz playing on the radio and rain quietly drenching the concrete, I donned my apron and whipped up a golden syrup cake (courtesy of blog Always With Butter).
May your Monday and week be a good one.

Job transfer occurs when an employee moves from one job to another that is relatively equal in pay, responsibility, and status.
A transfer is a lateral movement of an employee, not involving the promotion or demotion. Job transfer may require an employee to change his work group, workplace, or organizational unit.
The HR department must be able to reallocate its human resources to meet internal and external challenges.
Meaning of Job Transfer
Job transfer is a relocation of an employee to the same class in a different department of the job site or to a related classification within the same salary range.
According to Keith Davis,
"Job transfers occur when an employee is moved from one job to another position that is relatively equal in pay, responsibility and/organizational level."
It relates to mobility, which is limited to the motility of a worker from one job to another job at a similar level of the hierarchy.
Job transfer is viewed as an alteration in a job in which the worker moves from one job to another in the unchanged level of a hierarchy involving alike skills, involving the same level of tasks, the similar rank and the identical level of income.
Therefore, job transfer is a horizontal job assignment.
A transfer is a lateral move to a position in the same classified pay range (classified position) or to a position with comparable duties and responsibilities (non-classified positions).
A transfer may be beneficial to job holders.
The main benefits are :
- The broadening experience of a transfer may provide a person with new skills and a different perspective that makes him a better candidate for future promotions.
- By moving people into jobs, managers may be able to improve the utilization of their human resources.
- A transfer may even improve an individual's motivation and satisfaction, especially when a person finds little challenge in the old job. The new position may offer new technical and interpersonal challenges. In turn, these challenges may prove to be a growth-oriented opportunity for the transferee.
Objectives of Job Transfer (Why Transfer is Used)
Transfers are generally affected to achieve the following purposes:
- To satisfy the needs of an organization arising out of a change. To satisfy organizational necessities owing to the quality of products, alteration in a program of production, alteration in technology, variations in the market conditions for instance introduction of new lines, demand variation, dipping of existing lines.
- To meet the request of an employee. Employees might rather ask for a transfer so as to satisfy their wish to work under a friendly manager, in a unit where prospects for progression are brilliant, near their resident place or where the job itself is more demanding.
- To utilize properly the services of an employee who is not performing satisfactorily.
- To suit the age and health of an employee.
- To train the employee for later advancement and promotion.
- To supply creative opportunities to deserving employees.
- To correct erroneous placement.
- To adjust the workforce of one plant or department with that of another when one is closed down.
- To perk up employees background by placing him in diverse jobs in different units. This develops the employee and facilitates him to acknowledge any job.
- To adjust the employees for the period of layoff or unfavorable business conditions. To work out interpersonal clashes.
- To give release to the employees who are overloaded or doing complex work for a long time. To penalize the employees who go against the disciplinary rules.
- To facilitate employees whose workplace or working hours are not convenient for them. To reduce bribe/fraud which fallout because of permanent stay and contact with suppliers, dealers, customers, etc.
Types of Job Transfer
Transfers can be categorized into the following types;
- Replacement transfer,
- Production transfer,
- Shift transfer,
- Rotation transfer,
- Penal transfer, and
- Remedial transfer.
1. Production Transfer
Transfers from jobs in which labor requirements are declining to jobs in which they are increasing (through resignation or otherwise) are called production transfer.
This type of transfer is made to avoid lay-off efficient employees by providing them with alternative positions in the same organization.
2. Replacement Transfer
Replacement transfers are transfers in which a long-service employee is transferred to a similar job where he replaces or "bumps" an employee with shorter service.
This type of transfer is made when all operations are declining but management wants to retain the long-service employee as long as possible.
3. Rotation Transfer
Also known as Versatility transfer. Rotation transfer is for the purpose of providing management with a more versatile group of employees.
This type of transfer will increase the versatility of the employee by shifting him from one job to another. The employee gets an opportunity for varied job experience. This helps the employee through job enlargement.
4. Shift Transfer
Where there is more than one shift and shift assignments are not rotating, transfer from one shift to another on the same type of work is termed shift transfer.
Generally, workers dislike second shift assignment as it conflicts with their social life. To help workers to participate in social life, shift transfers have been introduced.
5. Remedial Transfer
These transfers are made to remedy the situation. Remedial transfers provide management with a procedure whereby an unsatisfactory placement can be corrected.
Initial placement might be faulty or the type of job might not suit his health; in such cases, the worker would benefit by transfer to a different kind of work.
6. Penal Transfer
Sometimes the transfer is used as a concealed penalty. This is widely practiced in Bangladesh. A trade union activist or a trouble-maker or a sea-lawyer may be transferred to a remote branch where he cannot continue his activities.
Some transfers may involve a decrease in job duties and in pay.
This type of transfer should better be called downgrading or bumping since it is used to protect employment opportunities for employees displaced from higher rated jobs. They are downgraded to less desirable jobs, bumping junior employees, who in turn may be laid off.
Transfer policy
A good transfer policy should have the following features:
- Specify the types of transfers and the conditions under which these will be made.
- Locate the authority in some officer who may initiate and implement transfers.
- Indicate the basis for transfer-whether it is based on seniority or any other factor.
- Transfers should be in writing and duly communicated to all employees.
- Transfers should not be made frequently.
Benefits of Transfer
- Boost employee's job satisfaction.
- Trims down employee's boredom, monotony.
- Develops employee's knowledge, skills, etc.
- Prepare employees to meet up organizational urgent needs.
- Correct interpersonal conflicts and mistaken placements.
Problems of Transfer
- Cause expenditure and trouble to the employees and his family members with respect to housing, education of children, etc.
- Adjustment troubles to the new job. surroundings, place, colleagues, and superiors.
- Discrepancy transfers affect an employee's self-esteem, commitment, job satisfaction, and contribution.
- Give rise to the loss of man-days.
