If you just started a blog this year, you're entering the most competitive search engine landscape in history. If guest blogging isn't a part of your strategy, you are severely limiting your growth.
It's not 2008 anymore – you can't hit page 1 on Google just by plopping down 500 words on a page or joining some shady backlink directory. You need to up your game.
High quality, long-form, image-heavy, and relevant blog posts are what rank this year. (Gee, thanks for making us work harder, Google.)
And excluding on-page SEO, getting high quality, relevant backlinks from high Domain Authority sites are more critical than ever. So how do you get the most high-quality backlinks this year?
The answer is modernizing and scaling your guest blogging strategy.
To test the effectiveness of guest blogging, I implemented a 15-day guest blogging experiment.
My goal was simple:
In 15 days, publish as many guest posts as possible on high Domain Authority sites to learn four key things:
1. How to master the guest blogging process.
I wanted to learn the ins and outs of how to effectively target influential blogs, perform email outreach, pitch topics, write and edit drafts, and get published on high DA sites as quickly as possible.
2. The impact of a guest blogging strategy on a website's SEO this year.
Once the 15 days end and any articles are published, I would use SEO tools to understand how effective guest blogging was at increasing Domain Authority, Alexa Rank, and driving target organic traffic.
3. Strategies to scale white hat SEO this year.
Black hat SEO strategies have been out of style for over a decade now. I wanted to discover the best ways to scale white hat SEO and accelerate the acquisition of trustworthy, authoritative links.
4. If anyone, regardless of experience, can get high-quality backlinks.
In my guest blogging experiment, I only targeted websites with a Domain Authority of 60+, with the average being 72.5. I wanted to prove that any new blogger can obtain these high-quality backlinks.

My Guest Blogging Experiment: 15 Days, 18,400 Words, and 8 Guest Posts
My guest blogging experiment began on January 4th, 2019, and ended on January 18th, 2019. During these 15 days, I went through every step of the guest blogging process. This process included finding the right contacts, cold email outreach, pitching topics, outlining and writing drafts, and finally, submitting guest posts to get them published.
On January 4th, I started emailing 68 different websites to ask if I could contribute a guest post. Of these 68 sites, 28 were interested. Of these 28, I pitched topics to 18. Finally, of these 18 sites, I got eight articles published in 15 days.
In fact, on the last three days of the experiment – January 16, 17, and 18 – articles were published three days in a row.
January 16, 2019: StartupNation (DA 61)
January 17, 2019: AddThis (DA 94)
January 18, 2019: Infusionsoft (DA 84)
Now that my 15-day guest blogging experiment is over, I can safely review the data and assess the SEO impact on my blog.
Here are the results:
- Eight guest posts published on websites with Domain Authorities of 81, 73, 60, 66, 71, 61, 94, and 84
- 32 new referring domains
- 247 new backlinks
- 268 new organic keywords ranking in the top 100
- 372% increase in organic traffic
- +12 to Domain Rating
- Alexa Rank improved by 600,000
I'd say the guest blogging experiment was a success!
This blog post is your ultimate guide to unlocking everything I learned after 15 grueling days of aggressive pitching, writing, and publishing guest posts.
Update (March 2020): By continuing this process over 12 months, I wrote over 80 guest posts in 2019, increased my Domain Rating from 0 to 76, increased my organic traffic from 0 to 300k+, and started making $61k/month from this blog – see my Blog Income Reports.
Let's get started.

What is Guest Blogging?
Guest blogging is the process of a blog owner, writing a guest blog post on another website's blog. Guest bloggers offer to write content for other blogs in their niche, with the benefit of increased backlinks and referral traffic.

What are the Benefits of Guest Blogging?
If you ever hit publish on your latest blog post, wait anxiously for readers, and then.
You're not alone. Since it takes time for your blog posts to move up the organic search rankings, it gets discouraging when you don't see traffic right away. Guest blogging is one of the best ways to boost these rankings and build your credibility. By leveraging other blogger's audiences and Domain Authority (DA), you build up your backlink profile and gain exposure to a broader audience.
Here are my top benefits of guest blogging.
1. Building Your Domain Authority
Your Domain Authority (DA) is a search engine ranking score (from 0-100) that predicts how well a website will rank. Domain authority is a metric created by Moz and measured by many factors, including the total number of links, linking root domains, social signals, TrustRank, and more into a single score.
One of the best ways to build a Domain Authority is by guest blogging. When you contribute content to other blogs, you can include a link or two to your website. Obtaining these contextual, dofollow links from high DA websites is one of the best ways to increase your website's domain authority (and traffic).
2. Getting Valuable Backlinks
Backlinks, also known as dofollow links or inbound links, are links from other websites to your website. Sites like Google consider backlinks a vote of confidence from the referring domain, boosting your website's credibility in their eyes.
These backlinks are like votes – the more you get, the more search engines believe your content marketing efforts are credible, useful, and valuable.
When writing guest posts, you can add a link or two to your website within the content, and you can also link to your site in your guest author bio.
3. Generating Referral Traffic
In addition to obtaining backlinks and SEO benefits from guest blogging, your guest post backlinks also bring in referral traffic. A user reads your guest post and clicks links back to your blog, increasing your traffic.
When writing a guest post, strategically add your backlinks to URLs that you want people to read – a useful article, opt-in email page, or service page.
4. Creating New Relationships with Bloggers
Ultimately, the most important benefit of guest blogging is the new relationships that you build with other bloggers and influencers in your niche. It's a very collaborative blogging strategy, and you'll most likely stay in contact with other bloggers long after your post is published.
The key is to be valuable. Respond kindly and promptly to emails, send in your drafts on time, and most importantly, create fantastic content. By doing these things, you'll have a better chance of maintaining a healthy relationship.
Finally, these relationships can also turn into further guest blogging opportunities down the road. Additionally, you can leverage your guest blogging connections and turn them into other cool projects like co-marketing, podcasts, ebooks, and online courses. You can also use these relationships to get intros to more influential guest blogging opportunities.
How to Pitch Guest Posts to High Domain Authority Sites
1. Start By Understanding Your Value
Before you get started on your guest blogging journey, there's one central theme you need to understand. You have to provide value. Don't go into the process of guest blogging for SEO only thinking about what you'll get out of the deal. First, you need to focus on the benefits you'll give the site.
Ask yourself: what value are you providing by guest blogging?
- Does your expertise match their audience's interests?
- Does your writing style match what the blog's audience is looking for?
- Is the blog currently in need of a lot of content to fill their editorial calendar?
- Can you leverage link building for them in other guest articles you're writing?
- Is there a topic that you're well versed in that doesn't exist on their blog?
The first step in pitching and finding blogging opportunities is understanding your value and what you can do to help. This information will be vital in your initial email outreach strategy.
2. Create a Targeted List of Guest Blogging Sites You Want to Write For
Once you understand the value you can provide, it's time to start building your blog outreach list. This list should be a simple spreadsheet with five columns: Website, Name, Email Address, Status (you'll note your outreach dates here), and Notes.
To start populating your spreadsheet of blogging sites, look up the target blog's monthly site visitors and Domain Authority by plugging their URL into an SEO tool like Ahrefs. Aim for blogs with a Domain Authority of 50+. Also, check to see if their blog is hosted on their main domain or subdomain – oftentimes a blog on a subdomain won't provide as backlink strength as a blog on a root domain.
Remember, the higher the Domain Authority, the more SEO impact you'll receive from each backlink. Additionally, the higher their monthly site visitors, the more readers your guest post will get. If you're new to blogging, it may not make sense to reach out to a site like Forbes or The Huffington Post, as those require real-world relationships and connections. Aim for websites in your niche with Domain Authorities above 50. To save time during your search, find an article featuring the top blogs and websites accepting guest posts, with Domain Authority scores added in.

But just traffic levels aren't enough – you need to look for engagement as well.
A blog with 1 million visits/month, but few comments or social shares could be less valuable than a site with 50,000 visits/month but a highly engaged audience. You want readers to interact with your content, so look for engagement. You can also research and find the website's email subscriber list size. A quality guest article may be shared to their subscribers after it is published, boosting your visibility.
Once you are done adding blogs to your spreadsheet, research these sites in-depth to find their guest posting guidelines. A lot of blogs have a dedicated page that outlines exactly how to contribute, what they are looking for, and requirements on tone, word count, and more.
To find these guest post guidelines, do a quick Google search like: "site:blog.com blog guidelines." This searches the blog for any content related to their guest post guidelines.
When you first start guest blogging, avoid sites that require a full draft submission via a contact form. You don't want to put in hours of work writing a 2,500+ word article, only to submit it via a form and get no response. Focus on sites that allow you to pitch topics or outlines.
3. Find the Right Person to Contact for Guest Blogging Opportunities
So you've pared down your list of blogs based on the criteria above. It's time to find the right person to contact.
First, use LinkedIn.
Start by filtering your search results by the blog's company page, then within the company, search for people by using terms like: "Content Manager," "Blog Manager," "SEO Manager," "Editor," or simply, "Content."
After you find 2-3 potential contacts, connect with them on LinkedIn. Remember, 2nd degree LinkedIn connections are better than 3rd, and if you have a mutual contact, even better. Don't spend too much time on your connection message either, often your text gets buried or comes off as spammy.
You can also use social media to reach out on Facebook. Find the company or blog's business page and send them a short message. Companies are likely to respond to Facebook messages because they want to maintain their "quick to respond" metrics on their Facebook pages.
Once you've reached out on social media, use a tool like Hunter.io or ContactOut to find the right contact's email addresses. Even if you can't find their exact email address, a tool like Hunter.io shows email structure, such as [email protected] or [email protected]
ContactOut has a helpful Chrome Extension that works on top of LinkedIn and adds people's email address, phone, and social media channels:
Finally, to stay on the cutting edge with your outreach strategy, check out Respona. They are creating an all-in-one search, outreach, and engagement platform that's launching very soon. Using AI, they are planning to be the most comprehensive solution to find content, get contact information, and send dynamic email templates. You can join their early access beta list to test them out before they launch.
Once you have this information, add it to your spreadsheet, and note the date of your attempted LinkedIn connection.
4. Start your Guest Blogging Email Outreach
To recap your progress so far, you now have your list of blogs you want to write for, the correct person to contact, and connected with them on LinkedIn. Now it's time to start emailing your list.
There are plenty of cold email strategies out there. The best tips I learned are to keep your email short, provide value, and showcase your previous work.
Source: pandadoc.com
Here's a guest blogging cold email template that I like to use, with an 80%+ open rate and 50%+ response rate:
Subject Line: Hey (First Name) // Content and Link Building Opportunities – Adam from (Company)
Hey (First Name),
My name's Adam and I'm the (Job Title) at (Company).
I'm reaching out because I love (Target Blog) and your (Target Article) really resonated with me because (Reason).
I was curious if:
1) You'd like to participate in link building. I write (X-X) guest posts per month and would be happy to link to your site in my content.
2) You allow guest posts on your blog.
I'd love to contribute to your (awesome? informative? useful?) blog and can pitch some topic ideas that I think your audience will enjoy. Here are some recent samples from me:
(Sample 1 URL)
(Sample 2 URL)
(Sample 3 URL)
Please let me know if you're interested and I look forward to hearing back from you soon!
That's it – and this one is a little bit on the long side. In the end, it's about treating each person as a friend, personalizing your content, providing value in the form of links, and getting right to the point.
Email outreach gets much easier over time once you have a large sample of content and start getting your articles noticed. If you don't have any writing samples published just yet, have a few drafts in your back pocket that you can share. As a last resort, share a link to your blog.
If you receive an email response and they are interested congratulations! The next step is pitching your topic ideas. Sometimes you'll receive guidance on topics or themes the blog is looking for, but more often than not, you'll have to come up with a topic on your own.
5. Perfecting Your Guest Blogging Topic Pitch
There are four main criteria for the perfect guest blogging topic pitch:
- Your content doesn't exist on their site yet. When you have a topic idea, go to Google and search "site:blog.com topic" to scan their blog to check if it already exists.
- Your topic and target keywords have SEO value. Go back to Ahrefs and input the blog's URL. View which organic keywords are driving the most traffic to see if you can find gaps in their content that you can fill.
- The topic matches your expertise. You should be able to write intelligently about the topic and use the guest blog to build more influence in your niche.
- The topic matches the audience's interests. Check their editorial guidelines and look into how they write their headlines. Then read a few of their blog posts to understand better what kind of topic and titles will match their visitors' interests. You can also check out which of their articles are the most shared on social media to see the content that works best.
Source: makeuseof.com
After your research is complete, and you have 2-3 ideas, share them promptly. You can also note in your email reply that, "if these topics don't work for your audience, I'd be happy to send over more ideas." In most cases, (if you've done your homework) one of your topics will be approved for a draft.
It's time to start writing.

How to Scale Your Guest Blogging
Before you start clicking away at your keyboard like a modern-day F. Scott Fitzgerald, slow down and consider your options. There are two questions to ask yourself when it comes to guest blogging:
- Are you going to write the drafts yourself?
- Or can you outsource some of the drafts to content writers?
Wait a second.
After all of this research, outreach, and pitching, I'm not going to write the actual blog post?
The answer: not necessarily.
1. Work With a Content Company, Freelancer, Guest Blogging Service
If you think that the credited author always writes guest posts, you're sadly mistaken. The typical blog post takes 3.5 hours to produce (and that number balloons up to 10+ hours for longer content). It may be a better use of your time to get a ghost blogger to write the content for you.
If you own the topic idea, create the blog post outline, and edit the final draft, working with a bylined guest post service or hiring a freelancer can save you time and scale your process.
76% of people surveyed in a Public Relations Journal Study believe that as long as the idea came from (and was approved by) the stated author, ghost blogging is just fine. With some ghost bloggers writing hundreds of articles per year, these backlogged articles need a home.
Source: culturevulture.com
By outsourcing specific components of the guest blogging process, more of your time is freed up to pitch topics, send in more drafts, and publish more articles.
The perfect way to scale your guest blogging strategy is to separate portions of the process to different individuals.
Here's how it works:
You, the author, pitch the topic, create the outline, and handle the emails. In unison, your writer pens the initial draft, inserts their links and sends you the finished draft. Then you revise the copy, add your links, and submit the draft.
Since high Domain Authority links are so valuable, if you're great at pitching top DA sites (think 70+), you may be able to get content cheap or even free if you allow your writers to add their own backlinks into your articles.
You can find competent freelance writers on sites like Flexjobs.
I placed a featured job posting on the ProBlogger job board and got over 60 freelance writing applications in one day.
2. Create High-Quality, Shareable, Long Form Guest Blog Posts
The quickest way to make your guest posts go viral on social media is by creating unique, high-quality, linkable content. What do I mean by linkable?
Well, if you hit publish on a guest post about the Top 10 Digital Marketing Trends of 2019, but it has no useful data or images, it's probably not going to get shared.
Alternatively, if your article is filled with interesting stats to back up your claims, beautiful infographics, and striking imagery, it is much more likely to go viral and generate passive backlinks.

3. Format your Guest Blog Posts and Links to Maximize Effectiveness
Primarily, guest post drafts are written, shared, and approved all inside of Google Docs – a free tool that's perfect for collaborating with bloggers. There are a few best practices to understand: formatting rules, sharing options, and link strategies to maximize your effectiveness per post.
A. Format Your Google Doc Correctly
Nothing will make you look more like a rookie to another blogger than not understanding how to format your drafts. Every blog has slightly different guest blogging guidelines. However, using the Outline Tool within Google Docs will help make your draft easier to navigate and feature the correct headers (H2, H3, H4, etc.).
You also want to understand Google Docs sharing rules. Send your drafts to editors with the share setting of "Anyone with the link can edit." If you're paranoid your precious work will be edited into oblivion, make a copy and save it to your Google Drive.
B. Strategically Add Your Links
Typically, when writing a draft, you're allowed to add 1-2 links to your website within the content. Plus, you get a link to your homepage in your author bio. But these aren't hard and fast rules.
For some guest posts, you might be able to get away with adding 3-4 links to your website in the content. The key is your links need to be contextual, relevant, and highly useful to the reader. Also, mix up your anchor text so that your backlinks don't send traffic to your site with the same keyword every time. This is not an SEO best practice.
When placing your links, start by adding at least two within the content, unless the guidelines explicitly state otherwise. Your links should go to blog posts that are relevant and backup the content, not your home page or contact page.
Bonus tip: some blogs are re-syndicated to multiple international TLDs, so one link can potentially count as ten if the website has separate international domains.
C. Add Your Author Bio (With Backlinks)
An effective guest author bio is 2-4 sentences long, gives readers a feel for who you are, what you do, and a way to connect with you. And you're not limited to just one backlink in your bio. You can usually get away with two (I've had a few posts with four). Another tip is to strategically link to an opt-in email page from your guest author bio to get more subscribers for your list.
Here's a bio of mine from my guest post on Crazy Egg with two links in my author bio:
4. Link to Target Influencers in your Guest Posts
When placing links, don't solely focus on yourself – share the wealth!
Links are the currency of the Internet. A recent survey in 2018 found that 78.6% of blogs sell links, with an average cost of $352.92 per link. And this number is rising. The going rate for a link from a 90+ Domain Authority site can go for as much as $2,500 per link.
Another benefit of guest blogging on high domain authority sites is that you can leverage this DA to provide value to influencers. For example, if there's an influential blogger, podcaster, or celebrity you have always dreamed of rubbing shoulders with, link to their website in your guest posts frequently.
Source: exob2b.com
Better yet, use an SEO tool like Ahrefs to find specific landing pages where they're ranking between 5-15 for a high volume keyword. Link to that landing page from your top DA guest posts multiple times to see if you can boost their rankings.
Once you link to the influencer 5-10 times, reach out to them via email. Let them know you love their work, showcase the useful links you've sent them, and don't ask for anything in return.
What? Ask for nothing in return?
Yes, that's correct.
The best way to grow your online influence with guest blogging is to provide incredible value to the most substantial amount of people, with zero expectations.
If you can become influential and provide real value to real people, people will organically want to help you.
Become so valuable that others feel bad if they don't help you out.
Okay, now that all of your influencer links are placed, it's time to submit your draft. Submit your Google Doc and wait for feedback. The editing process is usually relatively quick. In this stage, you can collaborate further inside your Google Doc and answer any comments or suggested changes they may have.
Once the draft is approved, your article will get a scheduled publish date – typically 2-3 weeks out.
You've made it a long way, and your guest post is scheduled. Let's recap what you've done so far.
- First, you discovered how you could personally provide value to other bloggers.
- Next, you created a targeted list of blogs you want to write for, focusing on Domain Authority, traffic, and engagement levels.
- You uncovered the right contacts and performed email outreach with a reusable email template.
- After receiving a reply, you pitched guest post topics after scanning their site and understanding their audience.
- Once your topic was approved, you started writing and formatted your draft correctly in Google Docs.
- Next, you strategically placed your backlinks in your content and guest author bio.
- As a bonus, you linked to influencers and people you want to work with.
- Finally, you submitted your draft, assisted with edits, and locked in a publish date.

5. Guest Blogging for SEO: Tracking your Results
Congratulations! Your guest post's publish date has arrived, your article is posted, and you get to read your published work on a popular website. Take the time to enjoy this moment – your hard work has paid off.
So what do you do now that your article is live? (What?! There's more?!)
Share your article on your social channels and among your professional network. Once the article has been up for a week or two, it's time to recognize the SEO impact this article has on your website. Remember, you have to be patient.
It takes time for sites like Google to discover your guest post, crawl its links, and attribute them back to your website. And it takes even longer for these links to impact your search rankings. But after patiently waiting, crawlers hit your article, discover your new backlinks, and recognize the new referring domain pointing to your blog. Let's track your SEO progress.
Use a tool like Ahrefs (if you haven't realized already, I love this tool) and check the following website metrics to view their improvements over time.
Source: ahrefs.com
1. Alexa Rank.
The measure of a website's popularity. It ranks millions of websites in order of popularity, with one being the most popular. Your Alexa Rank is a great metric to track, as it compares the popularity of your site against all others.
2. Domain Rating.
Similar to Domain Authority, Domain Rating is a KPI created by Ahrefs which measures your website's authority on a scale from 0-100, based on your link profile.
3. Number of Backlinks.
You can view the number of new, lost, and live dofollow links that are pointing to your domain. This number includes multiple links per domain, so if you get four links in one guest post, the total number of backlinks is 4.
4. Number of Referring Domains.
This SEO metric is similar to your amount of backlinks, except that it is only counting the number of websites linking to you, not your total number of links. Based on the previous example, if you receive four links from one guest post, the total number of referring domains is 1.
5. Organic Keywords.
Once you crack the top 100 search results for a target keyword, you can track its progress and movements in Ahrefs. It's important that your number of organic keywords increases over time, as new backlinks to your blog posts will increase their visibility and rankings on Google.
Track these results every week (or every day if you're obsessed like me) and enjoy witnessing the impact of your hard work.

|Nvidia says it didn't, won't block Lucid's Hydra

Nvidia says it didn't, won't block Lucid's Hydra
Our hands-on preview of the Lucid Hydra GPU load-balancing chip included some reporting about the status of the first Hydra-based product, MSI's Big Bang Fuzion motherboard, and the rumors that have swirled around that delay, some centering on a possible role Nvidia might have played in the whole drama. As we noted in that report, when we first asked Nvidia about this issue, we received a carefully worded reply from spokesman Ken Brown, who said he "wasn't aware" of Nvidia having played any role in the delay. He also confirmed that Nvidia would not block its partners from designing motherboards based on the Hydra chip.
As we said then, we found MSI's claims that the product was delayed simply due to the need for futher refinements to the Hydra's drivers, particularly for Windows 7 and for mixed-vendor configurations, to be credible.
However, some mystery has remained about whether Nvidia might have quietly encouraged MSI not to release the Fuzion board immediately-or not until the mixed-GPU-vendor feature was fully supported. We've also heard whispers around the web that Nvidia might choose to sabotage the Hydra technically by modifying its ForceWare graphics driver to be incompatible with the chip. Such poor citizenship in the PC gaming ecosystem would be troubling, but it wouldn't be entirely inconsistent with some of Nvidia's stances on issues related to SLI licensing, PhysX interoperability, and a few other issues of late. (Not that Nvidia doesn't have reason to throw a few elbows, with Intel and AMD essentially having pushed it out of the chipset business.) The fact that the Hydra's potential success could threaten Nvidia's SLI licensing regime, through which it earns royalties from motherboard makers, also gave some credence to the rumors.
Fortunately, Nvidia has decided to clear the air on these issues with an unequivocal public statement. Brown contacted us earlier today and informed us that Nvidia "had nothing to do with MSI's decision to postpone its Big Bang Fuzion motherboard." Furthermore, he affirmed that Nvidia would not place any technical roadblocks in Lucid's path, stating: "As I mentioned, we welcome Lucid to the market and have no intention of blocking them with our drivers, etc."
To underscore that first point, Brown relayed a statement from MSI product manager Jason Lee, who denies any Nvidia involvement in the Fuzion's delay. TechReport

I left a 10ltr tin of smooth masonry paint outside last year I went to open it yesterday and discovered a crack in the lid,and when I opened it it was full of foul smelling water sitting on top of the paint I poured off as much as I could but needless to say some went into the paint, if I paint my walls,will the smell go away or is this paint beyond saving?look forward to your advice. I have heard white vinegar could help but not sure..
Note that if the paint is a water-based paint, and was left outside where it could freeze, then the freezing has probably destroyed the paint. – Hot Licks Jul 14 '17 at 11:38
This doesn't answer the question, but next time store your half-empty paint tins upside down. That will guarantee you don't get any evaporation if the lid doesn't fit perfectly. It also makes the lid easy to remove in future, because it doesn't get stuck to the tin by a layer of dried paint. – alephzero Jul 14 '17 at 19:41
TLDR: Don't use dodgy or bad paint, it will cost you way too much in your time to fix the result.
The foul-smelling water is part of the paint, and you just wrecked the paint. It is foul-smelling because it contains things other than water, which perform a necessary function to curing the paint. It won't work without it. It is normal for paint components to separate out, leaving watery stuff at the top and solids at the bottom. So your reflex should never be to "dump it off".
Although realistically, if you had a crack in the lid, the essential volatile chemicals in that paint will have dried out regardless, even if they were replaced by rainwater -- it is now no longer functional paint.
Also, do not leave paint where it will freeze or get hot from the sun, and if you did, throw it out because it will not be reliable.
Alternately, you have low-VOC latex paint which has turned moldy (the VOCs, now outlawed, did a pretty good job of arresting mold). Anytime you get stinky paint, Do Not Use It because the stink will not go away. We have plenty of questions like "I painted my house with stinky paint, now my house smells disgusting and it won't go away, I've tried everything, what do I do?" The solutions are not easy. In most cases, their motivation was to save money.
People forget the big cost of a paint job is not the paint.
7I would add that if you've never seen paint separate its liquid stuff from solid, perhaps you've never opened a can of paint that's sat for a year, and are more in the habit of using new paint. Either your paint store has high turnover, or unbeknownst to you they're putting it on the paint shaker before handing it to you. (or it's a custom color which MUST be shaken.) – Harper - Reinstate Monica Jul 13 '17 at 18:13
1if a can of paint is stored correctly and settles, is it ok to stir back up and use it? The factory seal is still intact and the paint doesn't stink. (Asking this question for others, as I've already had the paint shaken and put on the walls) – self.name Jul 13 '17 at 19:03
email@example.com That is a different question. The answer is yes: if the paint has only settled and not spoiled, that is a normal thing. Take it to a paint or hardware store (ideally the one where you bought it) and have them run it through their paint shaker. – Kaz Jul 13 '17 at 19:47
firstname.lastname@example.com it better be, because when they sold you the paint, they took a settled can off the shelf, added pigment, and shook it. There is also a thing called a "paint stick", which combined with forearms and time, will allow you to duplicate the effects of a paint shaker at home. Not to be confused with a "stick shaker", the use of which you should aim to avoid. – Harper - Reinstate Monica Jul 13 '17 at 20:45
2"There are mixers for power drills" ... indeed there are, but before you attack the paint, make sure the mixer is not going to spray it all out of the paint tin and onto everything nearby - including yourself! A piece of wood and some "elbow grease" works just as well as a power tool, with less risk of an accident. – alephzero Jul 14 '17 at 19:38

The Working Action of the Ocelot/Serval Harnesses
The Ocelot/Several Harnesses are a special designed for these unique cat's body. My goal is for the harness to be humane, safe, a comfortable fit for the cat and functional for the owners. The back of the harness is elongated to accommodate the large shoulders and the long body of the cat. The placement of the 2 body straps are placed further back on the rib cage to avoid the body straps chafing the armpit areas. There is plenty of room for full range motion of the front shoulders. I designed 2 types of harnesses;
1. The Standard Harness is a regular type of harness with 2 Body straps…No function, just a comfortable and secure fit.
2. The Patented No Pull Harness design with 2 Body Straps that is functional for controlling the cat when the Cat is pulling on the leash.
My Patented No Pull Harness design is very unique. I wanted a product that did not use pain, nor cause discomfort to the pet while walking and no chafing in the armpit area. I designed the body strap to slightly tighten around the core of the body. The placement of the body strap was move further back onto the rib cage, out of the normally target the sensitive armpit area. The uniquely designed back part of the harness has 3 forms of connected pressure on the core of the cat's body when the cat pulls on the attached leash:
1. Direct Motion – Allows movement of the body strap to tighten and release pressure on the core of body.
2. Indirect Shoulder Motion – As movement of the back part of harness follows movement of leash toward the rear of pet. That movement causes the shoulder straps to slightly applies pressure over the shoulders down to the front of the chest point.
3. Indirect Belly Strap Motion – As the front shoulder strap applies pressure over the shoulders the movement continues down to the connected Belly Strap that is also connected to the body strap. This pressure is now affecting the entire core of the pets body as you do a tug and release motion with your fingers on the leash and speaking your verbal command. You now have their total attention, they will look back you, as though they are acknowledging your presence and listening to your verbal commands. The tug and release motion does not hurt the pet, it just grabs their attention and they focus on you.

By: Matthew Haan, IAC Student Intern Fall 2018
Close your eyes and think back to a time in your childhood when you and a group of friends played telephone. You know, that game where everyone sits in a circle and each person takes a turn whispering a phrase to the person next to him? By the time the last person in the circle heard the phrase, it almost always was never what it started out as. Whose fault was it when the phrase changed? The person who started the game? The person who misheard the phrase? What about the person who simply relayed the message? These questions likely remain unanswered. Luckily, the Supreme Court of the United States has agreed to hear a case that could finally provide us with some answers! Well, not really, but it's pretty close for layman's terms.
The Securities and Exchange Commission has been in the Supreme Court a good bit recently, and it is due to make another appearance. This term, the Supreme Court will hear the case of Lorenzo v. Securities and Exchange Commission. The central issue in the case will be "whether a misstatement claim . . . can be repackaged and pursued as a fraudulent-scheme claim." Back in 2011 the Court heard Janus Capital Group, Inc. v. First Derivative Traders and, in an opinion authored by Justice Thomas, ruled five to four that a mutual fund investment adviser is not liable for making false statements under SEC Rule 10b-5(b) when the allegedly false statements come from the mutual fund prospectus. I know this sounds elementary right now, my dear reader, but there are reasons why the holding in Janus Capital Group was not as obvious as it seems. You are probably wondering how someone could ever be liable for statements that he never made. Continue reading

Owners of the fifth generation Toyota Supra are thrilled about that car
In July 1993, the fourth and so far last generation of the Supra came on the market. Internationally, this type is called " Supra MKIV ".
In early 1986, the third generation of the Supra was introduced. It is also the first that has not been marketed with the suffix Celica.
The second generation was presented in the fall of 1981 and had a completely independent drive with the new (170 hp) 6-cylinder engines.
The first Supra built from spring 1978 to summer 1981 was still offered as a top version of the Celica first in Japan and later in the United States.

Check out today's post on Instagram.
There was a time in my life where I was really into Tarot.
I owned no less than three different decks, and knew the cards inside and out. Though I never really fully subscribed in the idea that they had any kind of handle on what anyone's future held, I liked to use them as prompts for meditation – whatever cards I pulled for the day would be things to think about for the past, present, and future. It was actually a nice little tool for self-reflection.
While I don't really have my head in the cards these days the same way I did back then, I still find myself thinking about the odd one here and there sometimes. The Fortune card is one of them – something that indicates the turning of the wheel of fate – the cycles of life and destiny. Today, I'm kind of thinking of it in the context of time. Something that turns not for us, per se, but turns while we're around – and will keep turning past us.

There`s a growing buzz at the moment about Machinima. If you don`t know what it is I suggest you look here for the Wikipedia definition. However, like all evolving media Machinima is what you make it, quite literally. In theory anyone can now make a Macinima movie with their own PC.
You may have noticed the enthusiasm amongst the press about the Bloodspell movie earlier this year. The appeal of sword wielding Amazons never wanes. Now while I don`t necessarily believe the rather monotheist title of Matt Hanson`s book "The End of Celluloid", I do agree with his comment that "[Bloodspell] ups the ante for the next evolutions in the discipline.". And the Guardian describes it as "A movie that defies most of the rules of traditional film-making"
Like all media before it, be that painting, sculpture, film, television or the Web Machinima has developed an adult side. I first heard about this in the naughty side of second life. I say heard about the naughty side because I`ve never seen a Second Life orgy, or indeed experienced any naughtiness in any of my sessions. I obviously don`t get invited to the right kind of hula parties. LOL But it does go on because Second Life like all online games to a greater or lesser extent holds a mirror up to real life, and in real life people have sex.
So will your online antics become the next YouTube sensation, or indeed big screen blockbuster? Who knows, but its more likely if you visit a site like Sociolotron a site specifically designed as an online adult RPG.
It`s not so far fetched you know. Ten unknowns have been plucked from obscurity by Vertigo Films to appear alongside Paul Nicholls and Tim Healy in the rom-com "Faint heart" Directed my Vito Rocco. Vertigo have a name for very distinctive productions such as "Dirty Sanchez", "Human Traffic", "The Football Factory" and "It`s All Gone Pete Tong". So they were probably the natural choice for MySpace`s Movie Mashup. Filming of "Faintheart" is scheduled to begin right around now. It`ll be interesting to see how "the world`s first user generated feature film" works out.

Tylenol is one of the most common painkillers in the world. It can be used to treat minor pain, such as headaches and muscle soreness, or more serious conditions such as arthritis or fevers. There have been many negative side effects associated with the use of Tylenol, with many studies showing that it can dull the brain's response to certain stimulus.
One recent study revealed another shocking effect that Tylenol has on your brain, that was it's ability to dull feelings of empathy towards people in pain.
Tylenol and Empathy
The study was conducted by researchers at the Ohio State University. They examined the effects that acetaminophen, the main ingredient in Tylenol, had on participants who were learning about the misfortunes of others.
The researchers found that participants who had taken acetaminophen thought these individuals who were experiencing misfortune were in less pain and suffering compared to participants who had not taken the painkiller. According to Dominik Mischkowski, co-author of the study and a former Ph.D. student at Ohio State, this suggests that Tylenol causes people to lack empathy.
"These findings suggest other people's pain doesn't seem as big of a deal to you when you've taken acetaminophen," Mischkowski says. "Acetaminophen can reduce empathy as well as serve as a painkiller."
The study consisted of two experiments. Participants for the first experiment consisted of 80 college students, half of which drank a liquid containing 1000 mg of acetaminophen, while the other half drank a placebo liquid with no drugs in it. The study was a blind experiment, meaning the participants did not know which group they were in.
Then, an hour after consuming the painkiller, participants read descriptions of eight different scenarios where individuals were experiencing pain or suffering. Scenarios included anecdotes about people suffering physical pain, such as a knife cut that reached down to the bone, and emotional pain, such as someone experiencing the death of a family member.
Participants were then asked to rate the pain they believe each person experienced from 1 (no pain at all) to 5 (worst pain possible). In general, the participants who had taken acetaminophen rated the pain of the individuals in these scenarios as less severe compared to the group that didn't take the painkiller.
The second experiment's participants consisted of 114 college students that were, like in the first experiment, split up into two groups, one take acetaminophen and the other taking a placebo.
After the painkiller kicked in, participants then received two, four-second blasts of white noise that ranged from 75 to 105 decibels. They then rated the unpleasantness that the noise caused them on a scale of 1 to 10. They were then asked to rate how much pain that they believe this noise blast would cause to another, anonymous study participant.
The results showed that participants who had taken the acetaminophen rated the pain as less unpleasant for themselves and also believed it would be less unpleasant for others, compared to the group that took a placebo.
"Acetaminophen reduced the pain they felt, but it also reduced their empathy for others who were experiencing the same noise blasts," Mischkowski explains.
This proves that, although Tylenol can reduce physical pain, it can also dull feelings of empathy towards pain other people may be experiencing.These findings are disturbing, especially considering that a lack of empathy is a primary trait for many psychological conditions including narcissistic personality disorder.
This significant decrease in empathy suggests that there is a need for natural, painkilling alternatives that do not provide such extreme changes in psychological behaviour.
Natural Tylenol Alternatives
Most people take Tylenol to relieve common forms of pain such as headaches and muscle cramps. It does this by raising the body's pain threshold, meaning that, although one is technically experiencing the same amount of pain, they feel less of it. This shows that Tylenol doesn't really fix the problem, it simply numbs your body to the symptoms this problem is causing.
Most people don't know that common pain such as headaches and muscle cramps is usually caused by a mineral deficiencies, specifically magnesium. Several studies have linked headaches and muscle pain to a magnesium deficiency, and one even found that consuming magnesium helped relieve cluster headaches, which are generally considered to be the most painful type of headache.
Foods that are high in magnesium include spinach, almonds, chard, dark chocolate, fish, beans, avocados and many more natural, delicious meals. For more pain-relieving, Tylenol alternatives, click here.

A year ago, I was celebrating Thanksgiving and my birthday in the hospital. I didn't know I'd be in the hospital til Christmas let alone through the Fourth of July. I'd be lying if I said it didn't give me anxiety bringing all of these memories back to reflect on this past year. I turn 27 tomorrow, a year ago I was just thankful a nurse made me a glove balloon and ordered a piece of cake from the hospital cafeteria. Looking back on the last four months of being home (I can't even believe it's been four months of freedom) I'm thankful for EVERYTHING. I'm thankful for being able to do the smallest things. I"m thankful for things that frustrate me – because it means I survived and still have independence.
A year ago, I got leftover turkey two days after Thanksgiving. This year I got fresh turkey and leftover turkey in my freezer. I got to hang out with my little brother, play games with my cousins, uncle and grandparents, and actually ENJOY Thanksgiving. A year of mine is missing, and everything seems only one year past when it's actually TWO years past. It all feels so close, even though I just missed out on the last year. It doesn't upset me. Life is so unpredictable, and I gained a new respect for myself and others.
A year ago, my 27th birthday was something I couldn't see. It didn't exist. But it's tomorrow and now I'm surprised it's already here. It feels like I just had one of these, but then again, it feels like it's been forever since I last had a birthday. I just can't make up my mind. I either lost a year or it feels like it's been forever. It's a mind-blowing feeling, and it's an emotional rollercoaster. But it's no use to look back and wonder what would've been different if none of this had happened. If the last year hadn't happened, I wouldn't have made a trip to Florida, and my trip to Florida was my favorite thing I've evr done in my life.
In October, two of my best friends and I went on a "celebrate life" vacation to Florida, and I couldn't think of better way I could've celebrated finding myself again. I'll follow up with more vacation posts because there is A LOT to say about what happened. It was 10 days of constant events and I can't explain how happy it made me to chase lizards on the sidewalk and lay by the pool reading a book with a margarita. Just being able to be independent, call an uber and go get some groceries at Target made me realize how much I had missed life.
This year is my golden birthday – I turn 27 on the 27th for those of you who have no clue what a golden birthday is – and we're going to do the same thign I've done since I was a child, go to a movie. Disney movies always come out Thanksgiving weekend. We've always gone – from Lion King to Frozen.
Thursday, I'm celebrating life with my best friend since 8th grade doing the thing we haven't done together since right after high school graduation – go to a concert. It's not my first concert since the hospital, but I believe it's the one I've been anxiously anticipating for a year. It's essentially a repeat of my first ever show at the Ryman Auditorium – except it's in Milwaukee, and I'm with a different friend. Regardless, that concert has a very special place in my heart and I'm sure this one will too.
It's been four months and I honestly can't remember 90% of the last year. It has taken me three weeks to write 500 words because I don't remember most of what happened. I know it happened. It's probably better I suppressed most of these memories. I still don't remember calling my best friend right after surgery crying to her that I love her for an hour. But apparently I did. I do, however, remember that I thought I was fine when I wasn't. I was telling myself I was fine when I definitely was having a week long panic attack. But – I survived it. I'm still here for a reason I haven't found yet, but I'm thankful for every opportunity I've been given in 26 years. So, here's to year 27. It's brand new.

From the Gulf Coast to the open regions of West Texas, connecting communities with a voice and excessive-speed data connectivity is significant to Texas' future in a developing digital world.
Through many years of spending millions in miles of network infrastructure crisscrossing the state, Texas telecom firms are making evident progress in increasing access to voice and high-speed data — to probably the most inaccessible areas.
In 2017, Texas legislatures approved laws to verify rural Texans reap the advantages of high-quality communications to support training, hospitals, commerce, first responders, border safety and consumers.
Nonetheless, we still have far to go to shut the digital divide between city and rural areas to verify all Texans have access to a loud voice and high-speed data providers and secure the advantages from the 21st-century digital economy — no matter where they reside or work.
Because the Texas Legislature considers numerous bills meant to broaden the supply of broadband in rural areas, it is essential to preserve an enterprise atmosphere that promotes free and honest markets to encourage continued funding and drive economic development.
Rural Texas is vital to the future of Texas. With over 3.2 million populaces, Texas has the most critical rural population in the USA. Almost 85% of Texas land is considered rural, encompassing 142 million acres throughout 172 of the state's 254 counties.
Every year, rural industries akin to agriculture, forestry, hunting and oil, and gas production chip in over $200 billion to the state's GDP.
About 72% of Texans in rural areas have access to broadband at speeds standard of 25 megabits per second to obtain data and three megabits per second to upload information, following the FCC's 2018 Broadband Deployment Report. Total, 93.4% of Texans — or 27.764 million — have access to broadband, in line with the FCC report.

Holi is at our doorstep: come and get ready to prepare traditional sweets and Namkeen. Murukku (chakli) is one of the oldest and traditional snacks, and all time favorite, especially in south India, now a day's all over India, even in Japan too. There are many ways to prepare Murukku, but here one of my friends introduced me this recipe with very few basic ingredients, refined flour and split black gram.
Yes, come on and take a glance of the recipe, very easy and quick…
- Maida (refined flour):2 cup
- Urad dal split black gram: ½ cup
- Salt: 1 teaspoon
- Cumin: half teaspoon
- Sesame seed: 2 tablespoon
- Olive oil/cooking oil: 1 tablespoon for moin.
- Cooking oil: for deep frying
- Take a separator (pot of the size which can come in the pressure cooker) of pressure cooker. Put one glass of water in pressure cooker, and place the separator into pressure cooker with Maida on small stand (grid). Pressure cook (steam cook) for 10 minutes and allow cooling. Take separator out from the cooker. Keep aside.
- Dry roast urad dal, grind to fine powder. Keep aside.
For making dough:
- Take a wide vessel; pour steamed refined flour, powdered urad dal, salt, Sesame seed, cumin and oil (moin).
- Mix well by rubbing between palms. Add water in small quantity and knead them. if required, put some more water till the dough becomes soft. (The dough can be made in food processor also).
- Divide the dough into 2-3 equal parts and roll each part into a cylindrical shape, take chakli maker, apply oil inside. Fill the maker with dough.
- Take a plastic sheet; give the round shape of chakli on the sheet, all chakli is to be prepared on this sheet, as in photo.
- Heat oil in a fry pan on medium heat (to check if oil is ready put a little piece of dough in the oil, if it comes up slowly means it is ready, if doesn't wait for couple of minutes and test again).
- Now deep fry the chakli into the hot oil (as shown in photo) on medium heat, after they start to come up slowly, turn over with tongs.
- Fry till it becomes light brown in color, remove chakli from the oil; wait for a minute to get the oil hot again. Repeat this till all chaklis are done.
- Now, chakli is ready to serve. Store it in air-tight container.

The upbeat sentiment of the UAE property sector has been underlined by a new survey conducted by global market research company YouGov, which revealed that 60% of investors expect Dubai's real estate market to grow over the next 12 months. With over half of home buyers (54%) feeling positive about the continuing growth of the Dubai real estate market and a further three-fifths (58%) expecting an increase in sales and rental prices over the next year, all indications point towards a buoyancy in the residential market. The YouGov survey has shown that location is a significant factor in determining where investors purchase their properties in the Emirates. According to UAE residents, properties near public transportation are the most attractive and in demand (56%), followed by those close to grocery stores (44%), retail shopping malls (41%) and Mosques (37%). The study also revealed that studios and one bedroom apartments are growing in popularity in the UAE real estate market, with investors shifting their focus to smaller, affordable residential options.


text: It was proved that the complexity of square root computation in the Galois field GF(3 (s) ), s = 2 (k) r, is equal to O(M(2 (k) )M(r)k + M(r) log(2) r) + 2 (k) kr (1+o(1)), where M (n) is the complexity of multiplication of polynomials of degree n over fields of characteristics 3. The complexity of multiplication and division in the field GF(3 (s) ) is equal to O(M(2 (k) )M(r)) and O(M(2 (k) )M(r)) + r (1+o(1)), respectively. If the basis in the field GF(3 (r) ) is determined by an irreducible binomial over GF(3) or is an optimal normal basis, then the summands 2 (k) kr (1+o(1)) and r (1+o(1)) can be omitted. For M(n) one may take n log(2) n psi(n) where psi(n) grows slower than any iteration of the logarithm. If k grow and r is fixed, than all the estimates presented here have the form O (r) (M (s) log (2) s) = s (log (2) s)(2) psi(s).

Although ShoreSummerRentals.com had recently revamped their website, they realized that there was still room for improvement. To their benefit, one of their strongest competitors recently introduced booking fees to their services. Since ShoreSummerRentals.com prides themselves on the lack of extra fees, they came to 1SEO in the hopes of leveraging and promoting that distinguishing feature.
In order to do this, organic traffic had to be increased, their PPC campaign had to be optimized, and effective emails had to be generated to reach owners looking to rent out their properties in shore areas. It was our responsibility to primarily target these property owners since they are our client's main source of revenue. While doing this, we were still left with the task of attracting potential tenants to properties.

Note to bloggers who change head-to-toe paid-to-wear outfits every hour: please stop. Find another business. You are heralding the death of style
The above words were said by Sally Singer, Vogue Creative Digital director in the year 2016. It was an indirect way of acknowledging the disruptive force fashion bloggers had brought into the exclusive Fashion Industry. Four years later Fashion bloggers have refused to fade back into oblivion but have grown into a million-dollar industry instead, with some bloggers pocketing £33 000 per Instagram post.
Fashion bloggers have been a great example of how a pass time can easily turn into a lucrative venture. From a simple urge to share their everyday glamorous look and unique style, many have now built thriving careers. How did this come to be? What makes fashion bloggers thrive?
The Fashion industry was highly exclusive reserved for a few successful individuals who would normally grace the fashion week shows, inviting selected journalists to cover and share about their brand. It was difficult for new designers to challenge the Michael Kors because of experience, reputation and marketing budgets. Fashion magazines were the thing that further gave a brand the endorsement it wore protectively against newbies. This all changed with the emergency of fashion bloggers.
Fashion bloggers came in as consumer-oriented individuals whose voice was relatable and easy to trust for the ordinary consumer. Of course, the consumer found it easy to trust the other consumer than the brand that would say only nice things to get a sale. Thus began the revolution of individuals who had low-cost budgets but a very high number of social media followers we now call influencers today. Most fashion bloggers thrive not from being fashion experts but because their word is authentic and shared from a user experience's side
People are hungry for real inspiration, and we want you to see that we're wearing clothes that we can afford and most importantly that you can relate (to) with our personality."hERMON AND hERODA
Emerging designers have further propelled fashion bloggers as these present a low cost but effective way of breaking into the fashion industry. It takes a blogger's endorsement to become a force in style and glamour. It's not about how consumers see your brand but if they will leave the chair to actually buy the look. Who motivates better than a chic influencer blogger whose style is followed by many on social media!
Fashion bloggers soon began competing with traditional magazines. They have become the models for fashion brands, wearing sponsored styles and tweeting about "the look". Fashion bloggers now get front seats at fashion week shows because they represent the consumer, as the trendsetter whose opinion has the power to make or break a brand. All this has meant traditional media like vogue have found new competition hence the bitter spill in the opening words.
How do Fashion Bloggers Make money?
Fashion bloggers are paid to tweet or Instagram about a brand. They are paid to wear a certain style and do a blog post review. Many fashion magazines are now hiring fashion bloggers as columnist to write articles. Designers these days will pay to have fashion bloggers to cover their events, walk the runway and blog about it to their blog followers.
With all these sources of income perhaps the biggest gain for fashion bloggers is that some have broken out to start their own clothing lines setting up online stores right there on their blog. After all they already had the customers.

Karaoke was on, Ben did a solo piece by the Midnight Oils but Rebecca didn't have the guts to get up and sing "It's Raining Men" by Geri Halliwell. Played some pool, drank some Coronas and then headed all the way out to Penrith for Krispy Kreme doughnuts.. arriving home two hours later.

Photo by blueathena7Throughout history, music has constantly had the function to influence community. At important junctures in history it has transcended beat, rhythm and tone (i.e. the technical components of music) and has associated people in deeper, usually mystical, methods. We saw this truly powerfully during the 60s where artists like Bob Dylan were thus more than simply musicians penning out tunes.
They were social activists, framing public consensus in their music and providing shape to the thoughts and worldview of a whole generation. When I heard about the Martin Luther King Jr. Gospel Concert which was held in Newington now, I couldn't but reflect found on the inert trans-formative ability of music.
The concept of organizing music concerts to raise public awareness (or to create funds for charities) is not hot. I'm certain we have all heard about philanthropic mega-concerts like Live 8 as well as the individuals behind them like Bono and Bob Geldolf. Newington's MLK Jr. Gospel Concert, nevertheless, was practically diametrically the opposite. It became a tiny gathering of about 1 100 and fifty people.
Local musicians played side by side with gospel music leaders. Individuals loved to the soulful music emanating within the stage, clapping their eyes and moving about when the quicker, more energetic music were played. I'm not very against mega-concerts like Live 8 but tiny, unheard of concerts like Newington's MLK Jr. Gospel Concert have a certain allure about them. because they are tiny gatherings, you don't discover yourself disoriented or distracted.
You reach lose yourself in the music and connect yourself to the energy as well as the tips that the music represents. Through all sound and glamour, it is actually somewhat effortless to forget a Live 8 concert is about fighting poverty across the globe. At a concert like the delightful Newington MLK Gospel Concert, nonetheless, it happens to be difficult to get rid of sight of the guy whose lifetime the concert was celebrating, his vision and his sacrifice. I, for 1, cannot wait for upcoming year's editions and am going to test and catch more of these tiny, intimate concerts this year.

Tips for keeping infants safe
Practice these tips to protect your infant or other babies in your care.
According to Safe Kids Worldwide, approximately 243,000 infants were seen in emergency departments in 2013. These visits were the result of nonfatal, unintentional injuries. Caring for infants may seem to be a daunting task, but there is information available to assist caregivers in keeping babies safe.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) offers these suggestions for keeping infants safe at home:
- Always put your baby to sleep on their back to prevent sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Caregivers should familiarize themselves with the Safe Sleep guidelines that were updated in 2016.
- Do not shake your baby―ever! Babies have very weak neck muscles that are not yet able to support their heads. If you shake your baby, you can damage the brain or even cause death.
- Protect your baby and family from secondhand smoke. Do not allow anyone to smoke in your home and limit the baby's visits to any house or vehicle frequented by smokers.
- Place your baby in a rear-facing car seat in the backseat while riding in a car. This is recommended in the "Car Seat Recommendations for Children" by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
- Prevent your baby from choking by cutting food into small bites. Also, don't let your baby play with small toys and other things that might be easy to swallow. Caregivers can enroll in a Pediatric First Aid class to learn the best technique to help a choking infant.
- Don't allow your baby to play with anything that might cover their face. This diminishes the chance of infant suffocation.
- Reduce the risk of your infant being burned by never carrying hot liquids or foods near your baby or while holding them.
- Vaccines (shots) are important to protect your child's health and safety. Because children can get serious diseases, your child should get the right shots at the right time. Talk with your child's doctor to make sure your child is up-to-date on the vaccinations.
In addition, Michigan State University Extension urges you to wash your hands before and after diapering an infant and to keep the diaper changing area sanitized.
For more information on caregiving or family issues that affect you, visit the eXtension or MSU Extension websites. Read about how MSU Extension's Children and Youth programs impact the state of Michigan in our Children and Youth Programming Impact Reports.

It seems fitting that the world premiere of "Homecoming," a new ballet from Benjamin Millepied, will take place in Los Angeles, where he recently returned after a stint leading the Paris Opera Ballet. But don't expect an on-the-nose celebration. The piece is an abstract duet set to songs by Rufus Wainwright, who will live-accompany Millepied and Janie Taylor, a new addition to Millepied's company, L.A. Dance Project. If anything, says the choreographer, it's about a couple "losing and finding each other within a relationship." It's also inherently about the idea of what ballet can be. "Dance is really the art that assembles other art," he says. For "On the Other Side" — making its U.S. premiere alongside "Homecoming" at the gorgeously restored Art Deco theater at the Ace Hotel in downtown Los Angeles — Millepied enlisted the painter Mark Bradford to design the sets.

Popcorn Time ransomware encourages you to infect your friends
Posted Dec 13, 2016 by
James Walker
A nasty new strain of malware is making the rounds. It is spreading by using a devious tactic that hasn't been observed before. If you get infected, you can choose to pass the ransomware onto two of your friends and get your files decrypted for free.
Thomas Samson, AFP/File
The malware is called Popcorn Time after the entirely unrelated piracy app. It was discovered by the
research group and has a unique characteristic that differentiates it from other ransomware. Popcorn Time appears to be the first "social" malware, encouraging its victims to infect other people.
Initially, Popcorn Time acts like any other ransomware. Once installed on a computer, typically via an email or a compromised website, it encrypts the hard drive and leaves you unable to access your files. You then have to pay a ransom fee to recover your data.
Popcorn Time is different as it gives you a chance to avoid paying up. If you don't have the cash available, you can participate in a "pyramid scheme" and refer your infection to someone else. The app allows you
to share a link
to the Popcorn Time download with your friends. If two of them click on it, become infected and then pay up, your own files will be decrypted for free.
This is believed to be the first time malware's been observed to offer different marketing levels. Cybercriminals have been developing new infection techniques in recent years, particularly when ransomware is the main attack vector. By actively encouraging people to pass the infection onto others, the creators can accelerate its spread across the Internet.
Cybersecurity experts are uncertain whether the tactic will be successful. With no previous history of similar campaigns, it's difficult to predict whether Popcorn Time's strategy will lead to an overall increase in infections.
"No one really knows if the mechanism is going to have any meaningful impact," Jeremiah Grossman, chief of security strategy at cybersecurity defence firm SentinelOne, said to
. "You infect someone and you try to get them to infect other people. That's a human-to-human process. Does it really scale versus all other ways, like mass-blast email? Does this process really work economically?"
Popcorn Time is still
in development and
its source code hints that further changes are planned. Its creator seems to be preparing a new "feature" that will delete all your files if you enter an incorrect decryption key more than four times. The program is already available in the wild though so it poses a credible threat today.
Security researchers generally advise you don't pay the ransoms demanded by cybercriminals. There's no guarantee a functioning decryption key will be issued, potentially leaving you out of pocket and aiding criminal activities. While there's no easy way to recover from a ransomware technique,
there are groups
that can provide assistance in recovering files.

What Is Political SEO?
Political SEO is search engine optimization meant to affect a political outcome by ranking a political message for a specific intended audience before a future event. The event is often an election. Political SEO is commonly mixed with PPC or Pay Per Click advertising as SEO work generally requires time to build momentum while political campaigns are often short lived entities.
Political SEO may promote a candidate, party, idea, platform or agenda and intends to influence an audience's perception of that focus.

And now, the moment you have all been waiting for… the Chorister's Guild Day Awards have been presented and the winners are (drum roll):
When I woke up this morning, my first thought was "I can't believe it's Friday already!" That is amazing, considering on Tuesday I was feeling like a whole week had been packed into two days! Today we finished up with our classes, met with our mentor groups to discuss our action plans and celebrated our time here at the Helen Kemp Banquet. Everyone received certificates and the Year 3s celebrated their graduation from the program. The faculty even sang a song to the tune of "Be Our Guest" that honored each of the Year 3s and the contribution they had made to the program.
It was a day full of reflection and celebration. Pictures were taken, hugs were given and goodbyes were said. Throughout the day, with each final class and conversation, the same message found its way to my heart. "Ok Rebecca, now you know what to do… so, go out there and do it! It will take practice and discipline. It will take time. It won't always be easy. But, it will always matter and it will always bear fruit. Never forget, I am always with you…"
