Claes Ryn's fine essay asks perhaps the most difficult and important question of our decadent era, namely "how do we act morally in desperate times?" (1) As our republic reaches the nadir of governmental lawlessness, social chaos, and cultural disintegration, it is well worth considering how we can act as we ought. Being no ideologue, Ryn offers no pat answers, instead focusing on what he sees as a deep problem within the Western tradition. The problem? A tendency to define morality "as adherence to a preexisting rational or ideal standard." (2) There is much to this criticism and to Ryn's alternative of conscientious integration of imagination, reason, and historical experience. That said, I have a somewhat different understanding of tradition and especially of the role of rules in guiding proper conduct, such that a response may be worth making. In brief, I fear that Ryn's approach to morality in desperate times would undermine the rule of law and the promotion of virtuous examples necessary to maintain the habits of conduct and imagination needed to re-establish order and virtue. I may well be overstating my disagreements with Ryn as I follow through on some implications in his argument and welcome correction of any such errors in his reply.
The Problem of Ideology
The bulk of Ryn's fire is aimed appropriately at contemporary ideologues. Whether self-identified as on the left or on the neoconservative "right," those who see in any particular idea, principle, or value a model to be used in restructuring society undermine moral conduct. The monomania of the left is, of course, relatively easy to see, if difficult in corrupt times to combat. Any who would impose a vision of equality end by repressing those who disagree with them, presenting them as intolerant and dangerous in their obstructionism. The latter portrayal itself is as inevitable as the failure of the left's policies, which must fail because their principle cannot be "made real" given the varied nature of societies and human persons. Blueprints for a fundamentally changed society (and, hence, human nature) end up mere excuses for immoral conduct as reality and the people who inhabit it fail to live up to false ideals.
The neoconservative challenge to moral reasoning may be difficult to spot because it is wrapped in the trappings of patriotism. Neoconservatives constantly invoke the American founders and Abraham Lincoln as guides to proper moral conduct, especially in politics. Here, however, a second false reality is imposed as our constitutional order is reduced to a phrase ("all men are created equal") from the preamble to that lengthy, common law document through which the thirteen colonies declared their independence. That phrase is used as a single principle--"equality"--defined as an impossibly specific classical liberal form of equality of opportunity including some but not all aspects of the welfare and administrative state. The definition is meticulously fine-tuned as its partisans seek to distinguish themselves from more radical progressives whose fundamental assumptions and goals they share. The neoconservatives' Lincoln is a fitting interpreter, here. He adds to the preoccupation with equality an uncompromising nationalism that brooks no dissent and spurs the drive for "principled" empire. Such modulated progressivism is, of course, doomed in a time when its more radical adherents have a more coherent and attractive ideology.
This is not the place to go into any detail regarding the "West vs. East Coast" debates among neoconservative followers of Leo Strauss. It is worth noting, however, the claim made by some Straussians to superiority not only over modern ideology but also over traditional conservatism in eschewing mere opinion for Platonic objective truth. Yet, as Allan Bloom made clear in The Closing of the American Mind, Strauss himself did not believe in the truth of the principles of Plato or any other philosopher. Divine madness is the rule in Straussian philosophy, or rather erotic enjoyment in seeing how principles and precepts "play out" in various philosophies. Only in dealing with the mere statesmen of political life do (some) Straussian philosophers make truth-claims regarding these principles. The result, again, is what Eric Voegelin understood as ideology, the placing of a second, false reality onto the natural world.
Straussians are not the only thinkers who claim to have found an objective ground for ideological conduct. Germain Grisez, John Finnis, and Finnis's follower Robert P. George have claimed to represent a "new" natural law eschewing metaphysics in favor of Kantian precepts. Reduction of the natural law tradition to an instinctive pursuit of "basic goods" is supplemented in this ideology by a detailed casuistry or logic of morality that leaves motive (Ryn prefers to write in terms of "will") as a matter of mere ratiocination. The result is a mechanized conception of virtue, allowing for hypocrisy, an abdication of judgment in obedience to assumed authority, and a preoccupation with the trappings of temporal power the likes of which few Christians from the supposedly servile Middle Ages would have tolerated.
The ideology of "new" natural law is especially relevant in light of another subject of Ryn's criticism, the self-conscious religious idealist who claims his virtue requires that he withdraw from public life. This "goody two shoes" as Ryn names him says in essence, "I am a perfectly religious person, my religion is the only true and worthwhile religion and is being treated badly, so society's problems are not my problems; if the world goes to Hell while I and mine go to heaven, then God's will is done." Ryn's point is that those who hide behind self-flattery in order to avoid the hard work (and grit) of engaging a decaying culture are abdicating their responsibilities to the public good, and so not acting virtuously. The point is well taken, though I would leave room for those few, most in holy orders, who genuinely desire to die to this world, serving it by example and prayer.
The question this criticism raises, again, is how those who recognize their duty to engage the world and act morally within it are to respond to a vicious culture. It is here that Ryn uses the example of Machiavelli to show what desperate times may require of us, namely imaginative re-conceptualization of moral norms to make peace and order possible again. It is an example that, while in my view poorly chosen, deserves to be considered for issues it raises concerning the inescapable nature of metaphysical foundations and the proper role of codes of conduct in public life.
The Machiavelli Problem
Probably the most controversial aspect of Ryn's argument is his partial endorsement of Machiavelli's morally ambiguous approach to desperate times. No doubt Ryn looks to Machiavelli in part for the shock value of so doing. It is easy in our era of terrorism to identify any form of personal, physical action as intrinsically evil--all the more so given decades of attacks on the very idea of masculinity and its physicality. Add to this the mind-numbing casuistry of some who claim to follow the natural law tradition (and use it to justify wars they happen to like) and you have a situation in which cynicism competes with barbarous ideology and...

Key Points
*Chronic itching condition in the skin on one or both arms
*Caused by nerve damage of various forms
*Sun exposure also implicated
*Consists of itchy skin in the mid-arm area, which appears normal
Brachioradial pruritus is a condition in which the skin of one or both arms, specifically often the mid-arm, experiences severe itching. While skin may initially appear normal, attendant conditions which arise from scratching can manifest themselves. These include Purpura, bruising, brown or White marks (hyper-/hypopigmentation), Eczema, and scars.
Brachioradial pruritus is generally attributed to various forms of nerve damage, usually cervical in nature (including osteoarthritis, spinal tumors, and nerve compression). Excessive sun exposure has also been implicated in causing the condition, due to its increased occurrence in sunny climates and the areas of the body which it affects.
- Differential Diagnosis (Other conditions with similar appearance)
Atopic Dermatitis
Neurotic excoriations
Notalgia paresthetica
Zoster sine herpete
Key Points
*Diagnosis based on appearance of symptoms
*Skin biopsy, imaging and radiological testing may be performed to rule out other conditions and to confirm diagnosis
Brachioradial pruritus is initially diagnosed on the appearance of symptoms, but other testing is required to determine the causative factor, including radiological, imaging, nerve testing, and Skin biopsy
*Treatment is not always successful
*Goal of treatment is to prevent further occurrence, treat causative condition, and lessen symptoms
*Some OTC options are available for lessening symptoms
OTC Options: Sunscreen, protective clothing, cooling lotions (camphor, menthol)
The main goal in treating Brachioradial pruritus is two-fold: alleviating symptoms and treating the causative condition. Cooling lotions such as camphor and menthol, in addition to local anaesthetic creams can assist in relieving itching. Once the causative condition is identified, a variety of treatments are available, depending on diagnosis. In most cases, this involves treating nerves themselves, including cervical spine manipulation, Capsaicin cream, amitriptyline, and anticonvulsants. It is recommended that affected persons avoid excessive sun exposure.

For the Worshipful Company of Coopers' annual Burns Night celebration, Ampersand presented a bespoke traditional menu at the Royal College of SurgeonsThe Worshipful Company of Coopers is one of the oldest livery companies in the City of London, their original trade being the making of wine, beer and spirit barrels. In recognition a barrel maker gave a demonstration of the craft – a fascinating addition to the evening's celebrations.
The festivities commenced in the Council Room where guests were piped in for a drinks reception. The Beadle then announced dinner, and the 200 guests were impressed by the Edward Lumley Hall vibrantly illuminated with red uplighters to continue the Highlands theme.
Starting the supper was smoked Borders venison with leaf salad, dressed with prune mustard and whisky. After the traditional haggis, neeps and tatties, guests enjoyed a main course of braised feather blade of beef fillet, creamed celeriac, chestnuts, rumbled thumps and pan juices. Dessert was orange cheesecake with Drambuie blood oranges and authentic Scottish tablet.
Leon Papworth, the chef for the evening, had two thoughts in his head when asked to create a Burns Night dinner: "Firstly I needed to ensure there's a historic reference to the ingredients we source, and secondly we need to make a great impression with the presentation of the food!
"Researching for bespoke menus is always exciting but even more so when there's the challenge of an expectation to uphold – the Worshipful Company of Coopers have enjoyed this event annually for an awfully long time now! My focus was on using traditional Scottish ingredients, sourced locally wherever possible and if not locally, then from Scotland. The result of our research and tastings is a 'Classic Burns Supper' with great local provenance and an innovative use of ingredients… Bring on next year!"
No Burns Night would be complete without a whisky tasting and Glenfiddich kindly provided 12, 15 and 18 year old whiskies for guests to sample.
This was not the first Burns Night to be held at The Royal College of Surgeons, and with successes such as this, we are sure it will not be the last!

8 Ways to Kid-proof Your Internet Parental ControlsOur kids are more tech savvy than we can ever hope to be. We block a web site, and they find a way around our blocking software. We put up a firewall; they go through it. What's a parent to do? We can never be sure that any of our parental controls will work, but we try our best to keep our kids safe. Here are eight things you can do to make your internet parental controls a little more effective and harder to circumvent:
1. Talk to Your Kids and set Boundaries and Expectations
Let your kids know what is expected of them. Explain to them that you are trying to keep them safe and that you expect them to be responsible. Let them know that while you trust them, you will still verify that they are following the rules and that their online use can and will be monitored. Explain that internet access is a privilege that shouldn't be abused and that it can and will be taken away if they don't meet your expectations.
2. Physically Lock up Your Router
One of the easiest ways for your child to circumvent your security settings is to reset your router to its factory default settings. This usually involves simply pressing and holding a reset button located on the back of the router. Once the router is reset, most routers will default to wide-open wireless with no encryption, revert to an easily googled factory-set password, and have most of its security features disabled. The kids have an easy alibi because they can plead ignorance and blame it on a power spike. Lock the router in a closet or somewhere way out of reach to prevent them from pressing the reset button.
3. Set Router-enforced Time Limits for Internet Access
Most routers have a setting which gives you the ability to cut off access to the internet at a certain time of day. You lock your doors at night, right? Do the same for your internet connection. Go into your wireless router's setup and turn off your internet connection from midnight to 5 in the morning. The kids should sleeping during this time anyway. Time limits also prevent hackers from being able to attack your network during the set time-frame. You have effectively isolated yourself from the rest of the internet during the hours when most hackers are just starting on their second can of Red Bull.
4. Disable Wireless Remote Administration of Your Router
If you turn off the "Remote Administration via Wireless" feature on your router, then someone trying to hack into its settings (i.e. your child or a hacker) would have to be on a computer that is physically connected (via an Ethernet cable) to the router. Disabling this feature doesn't prevent you from being able to change your router's settings; it just makes it a little more inconvenient for you, your child, and hackers.
5. Scan for Unsecured Wireless Access Points Near Your Home
All of your firewalls and filters go out the window if little Johnny attaches to your neighbor's unsecured wireless access point and starts leeching off of their internet connection. This essentially cuts your internet filters out because they are no longer in play as your child is using a different network entirely.
Use the Wi-Fi search feature of your Wi-Fi enabled cell phone or laptop to see if there are any open Wi-Fi hot spots near your house that your child could connect to. It's best if you do the search from inside their bedroom or wherever they normally get online from. You may be able to determine where the hot spot is originating from by looking at the signal strength meter as you walk around their room. Talk to your neighbor, explain your objective, and ask them to password protect their wireless access point. It not only helps you enforce your parental controls, it also helps keep people from getting a free ride courtesy of their unsecured Wi-Fi hot spot.
6. Enable the Parental Control Features on Your Child's Game Systems and/or Mobile Devices
Parents often overlook the fact that their kids can get to the internet via their game consoles, iPods, and cell phones. These devices have web browsers just like your home PC does. The filters you install on your computer will do nothing to stop your kids from visiting forbidden sites using their mobile device or game system. Thankfully, most devices such as the iPod Touch and PlayStation 3 have parental controls that you can set to restrict the content that your kids can access. Read up on these features and implement them. Periodically check the device to see if the password you set is still in effect. If not, your child may have reset it and disabled the controls.
7. Put Their PC in an Open Area of the House That is Well Frequented
It's hard for little Johnny to visit "bad" websites if he has to use the PC in the kitchen. If the PC is in a well frequented area where you can see it, your kids are less likely to attempt to go to unauthorized sites. Kids may love having a PC in their room, but consider moving it somewhere less private so you can keep an eye on what is going on.
8. Enable Activity Logging on Your Router and PCs
Your child will most likely figure out how to cover their tracks by deleting browser histories or by enabling "private browsing mode" where no history is kept. The best thing you can do is purchase monitoring software that is not easily defeated or detected by your child. Periodically review the log files to make sure your kids are staying out of trouble. Another option is to enable activity logging on your wireless router. Logging at the router will allow you to capture connection information even when your child is using their mobile devices or game consoles (unless they are using another wireless access point other than yours).

Clash of Pirates Online Game Slots
Clash of Pirates is a 5-reel, 30 pay lines slot machine from the game developers at EvoPlay. There is no doubt that pirates have been one of the most used subjects for online slots and it is these nautical characters that fill the reels of the Clash of Pirates. Whilst the pirates may not look that friendly they can become the players friends and land some big wins when they land in the right places. EvoPlay may not be the first free slots supplier to spring to mind, even though they have been providing the market with trusted and reliable games for 14 years, and although they may offer far fewer slots than some of the other suppliers, what they lack when it comes to quantity are certainly made up with top quality.
Clash of Pirates sees some vibrant characters embark upon the seas, offers a couple of quality bonus features including a wild that can substitute to create winning combinations and a free spins round that provides the player with the chance to amount big wins. EvoPlay has paid great attention to detail when it comes to the design of this game and it really shows. From the huge octopus also known as the Kraken who keeps busy by wrapping its tentacles around the ships mast, whilst the choppy waters and rain add to the overall ambience. The reels hang from a mast and are surrounded by thick rope with barrels that float around underneath. Players can find the control panel on the right at the bottom of the game, and betting starts from just 0.30 per spin, or play the highest limit of 150.00 if they feel lucky. There is also a free version of Clash of the Pirates offered which is a great way for players to practice and get to know the game properly before attempting to play for real money.
Clash of Pirates is complete with nine main symbols and for players to win they need to land 3, 4 or 5 of the same symbol across a single pay line running from left to right. The high card symbols nine through to Ace are all used in this gameslot, however, each is a different colour and are set in silver coins making them more attractive than the run of the mill card symbols that are used in many other slots. Players that land any three of a kind on one row will be awarded with x5 their line bet, whilst full lines can pay out up to x150 depending on the symbols that have landed.
There are higher wins when players land 4 of the pirates, beginning with the cabin boy who will pay out x25, x125 and x500 when there are 3, 4 or 5 on the reels respectively, and there are also a couple of pirates with bad attitudes and grizzled features that will award the same. The highest paying symbol is that of the Oriental lady who is set against a pink backdrop. Although this lady may look sullen the value she brings will certainly please players as she only needs to land on reels 1 or 2 to provide a win of x8 but fill the reels with her and she will hand over a massive x888.
Special Symbols
The Abyss symbol may be bad news for the pirate ship, but it is good news for the players as it means even more winnings, and it is also the games wildcard and can substitute for all symbols except for the scatter, it is worth noting though the Abyss is worth nothing on its own.
The scatter is represented by a rusty compass, and when this symbol lands in any three places on the screen players are awarded with free spins, however before the free spins begin players will be given a reward which is dependent on the number of scatters they have landed, 3 scatters provides x2 of the total stake per spin, 4 scatters give x10 the total stake per spin and for 5 x30 the total stake per spin. The odds for the free spins are bolstered as the scatter doesn't make an appearance therefore there are more positions free on the reels for the more valuable symbols to land, whilst there are no guarantees that any wins will be rewarded at least the initial payment means the players have more than they started with before the spins begin.

Applying topical medications to your pet can sometimes be a challenge. The information provided in this handout may help make treating your pet easier - for both of you.
What is the difference between creams, ointments and lotions?
Creams are non-greasy. Ointments have an oily base. Lotions are liquid preparations. All are similar as far as application is concerned. Creams, ointments and lotions are for external use only. It is important to prevent your pet from licking and swallowing them. Many veterinary formulations are specially designed for rapid absorption to minimize this problem.
Be sure to follow any directions concerning application of the product, e.g. using gloves, avoiding the eyes, etc. This is important since some veterinary preparations may be irritating to human skin or eyes. Most topical preparations work better if they are gently massaged in for a few moments after application.
My dog is perfectly fine until I try to put the medication on and then he becomes very agitated.
In the early stages of treatment, the wound may still be painful, and/or the medication may cause some mild but temporary discomfort such as stinging. It is always a good idea to get someone to hold your dog, especially when applying medications on a sensitive or painful area. If you prefer, your veterinarian can recommend several types of comfortable muzzles that you can use when treating your pet.
I can apply the preparation but my dog licks it off as soon as it is applied.
"A good tip in this case is to apply the product just before feeding."
A good tip in this case is to apply the product just before feeding your dog. Another solution is to take your dog for a short walk immediately after applying the medication. If you still have trouble keeping your pet from licking the medication, please contact us and we will supply you with an Elizabethan collar, such as the one shown in the illustration, to prevent the dog from licking at the affected area.
I have tried an Elizabethan collar but my dog goes crazy with it on!
The majority of dogs are initially upset by the collar because it is unfamiliar and limits their field of vision Try giving your dog a treat or taking him for a walk to distract him from the collar. Most dogs learn to accept the collar within a few hours, especially if they are rewarded for good behavior.

Growing up, the four cheese pasta was one of my favorite dishese; it was a sort of comfort food for me.
My grandma used to do it with whichever cheese she had in the fridge, but Gorgonzola was never missing of course.
Since the cheeses and the proportion always changed, the sauce always had a slightly different taste, but was always super creamy an delicious with a hint of Gorgonzola, and this was enough for me.
Pasta or Gnocchi
I remember me and my father going to a local restaurant for his birthday. Every year the same restaurant (until it went out of business) and every year we ordered the same meal: He would order spaghetti Carbonara and I would order 4 cheese gnocchi.
Those four cheese gnocchi were the best dish I ever tasted in a restaurant. The 4 cheese sauce was so tasty and delicate at the same time. I dreamt about it all year long.
I must say that the 4 cheese sauce coats gnocchi much better than pasta. Their soft texture go perfectly with the sauce.
So I can recommend you to try this sauce as well with homemade potato gnocchi (you can use the potato gnocchi base recipe from my Potato Gnocchi or Potato Gnocchi stuffed with Gorgonzola).
As I mentioned above, you can try the 4 cheese sauce with various cheeses combinations, but the Gorgonzola must always be there!
The Recipe
Four Cheese Pasta
- 180 g about 2 cups Short Pasta
- 250 ml 1 cup Milk or Cream
- 2 tbsp Gorgonzola
- 2 tbsp Gruyere grated
- 2 tbsp Parmigiano grated
- 1 tbsp soft cheese such Brie, Stracchino, Taleggio, cream cheese, etc
- Salt
- Black Pepper
- Bring to boil a pot of salted water and toss the pasta in. Follow the pasta cooking directions.
- In the meanwhile in a saucepan warm up the milk or cream. Turn down the heat and add all the grated cheeses. Let the cheeses melt and stir once in a while to make sure they don't stick to the pan.
- Add black pepper (salt may not be necessary, but taste just to make sure) and if the sauce is too thick, add some more milk.
- Stir thoroughly until you have a smooth cream, drain the pasta al dente and add it to the sauce.
- Serve immediately.

21 Guest Blogging Tips to Help You Secure More Link Opportunities
No, guest blogging is not dead. Far from it, actually. It's alive and well, and continues to be one of the most effective ways to drive traffic to your website that is highly targeted, with a high likelihood of being interested in the product or service you offer.
You just have to know how to do it right.
I reached out to several online marketing and SEO experts and asked them all to share their best guest blogging tip. The result is a resource full of actionable tips and advice that will no-doubt help your guest blogging campaigns and efforts.
I hope you are able to take something valuable away from this, and thanks again to all those that participated.
1. Have a long-game approach.
"When guest blogging, the temptation for a lot of SEO's is to write content that you can use to immediately plug your site with a backlink. However, playing the long game by providing content that is useful to the site's readers is more likely to get you invited back in the future. Having one quality link is good, but having two is even better.
One way that we handle this is to have several articles ready to go when conducting our outreach. Having multiple articles ready and choosing the one that best fits the site's readers, or is most unique to their past posts, is more likely to get picked up.
As with most guest blogging efforts that involve outreach, results are varied. The value of quality links is worth the effort to cater to your readership with great content, even if that readership is borrowed." -- Spencer Hock, Firetoss
2. Don't ignore offline opportunities.
"Look offline to fine guest blogging opportunities online.
Many sites you want to guest blog on are active offline as well as online. Their writers and decision makers can be found at events and met in person, which really increases your chance of securing the spot you want. Real world connections have online consequences." -- Craig Streaman, Streaman Marketing
3. Lead with something other than a guest post pitch.
"When seeking out guest posting opportunities, don't lead your email pitch -- or subject line -- with anything about guest posting. Instead, find an issue with the website and lead with that. For example, you can crawl a website and find some kind of an SEO-related issue such as 404 errors.
Send an email with a subject line that revolves around their website having an SEO issue. Then, lead the email with the issue and provide necessary links. Finally, you can simply state that you like their blog and would like to contribute to it.
Lead first with something helpful, then follow that with a soft pitch for a blog post. This approach has worked better for us because we lead with something that is helpful to someone else, instead of leading with what we want from someone. This has improved both our email open rates and percentage of people willing to allow us to guest post on their website." -- Nick Bennett, Growmeo Marketing
4. Avoid spammy looking automation.
"When you're pitching a blog, don't automate the process of reaching out to potential blogs to guest post on. You will definitely look bad because your outreach email won't be personalized, targeted properly and it will make you look bad. You can automate the process of locating potential websites to guest post on, gathering contact information, etc. -- but under no circumstance should you ever automate the outreach email and send them out in mass.
If a website has a guest blog post process to be considered then you'll never even know and your email will immediately get rejected. People know when you're not being genuine and using automated outreach is the best way to come across as spammy.
If you want to guest post on a blog, find potential blogs through automation but after that, take a few minutes to get to know the blog and what you need to do to guest post. If they have instructions and you don't follow them, you're wasting a lot of time -- both yours and the blog owner.
Approaching the outreach from a more personal standpoint will get you 100 percent more success. You'll look better and be more likely to get your guest post pitches accepted." -- Nick Leffler, Exprance
5. Pitch an article that contributes to the website's SEO effort.
"We've worked with thousands of clients and writers doing this over the last nine years, and we've done a lot of work creating guest post content. There are a few things that stand out to me.
With Google's increasing expectations of quality and authority in content, the old model of just offering free and unique content isn't as compelling when approaching sites about guest posting. E-A-T guidelines require that you have offer up content that supports a site's overall efforts to meet those guidelines, which means it needs to be written by someone with expertise in their industry, well researched and semantically complete.
Instead of telling your prospects that you'll give them a '500 word unique article,' tell them how you'll give them content that supports their E-A-T efforts like giving them an article from an expert, along with a byline, etc.
Also, pitch them a topic that contribute to their SEO effort. This requires a bit of research, but if you spend a bit of time researching your guest posting prospects sites, you should be able to identify keyword gaps that they don't rank for that their competitors do -- SEMrush offers a great tool to quickly identify these.
If you can find a keyword that they would benefit from ranking for, build out a little plan and pitch them. When crafting your email to them, tell them which keyword you could help them rank for, which competitors rank for it currently, and how you'll create content that will help them do that. SEMrush also offers an SEO content template that tells you how long your content needs to be, and what topics to cover, to create better content than the current top 10 google results for a keyword.
Providing this info helps your pitch succeed. This does mean you'll have to do more research and in all likelihood, create a longer piece of content for them, but your outreach efforts are much more likely to succeed since you're offering them real advice and value." -- Eric Hoppe, Crowd Content Media Inc.
6. Write content that has a pulse.
"Journalists, bloggers and editors all love to see a piece of content that helps increase engagement within their own site. Posts that we create with this strategy are more likely to get published, more likely to be promoted and more likely to open the door for future publishing opportunities.
You also want to be opinionated. So many guest blog posts are mindless drivel that don't have a pulse. Find a way to make your content controversial, funny, sexy or edgy. Interesting content has more natural value when it's published for both you and its host." -- Jordan Brannon, Coalition Technologies
7. Use unique strategies when targeting those that aren't guest post savvy.
"We work with a number of clients in fields where even explaining the guest post process is more trouble than it's worth. The clients weren't particularly tech-savvy, but were active with a lot of online communities in their industry and regular attendees of the various conferences and training events in their respective fields. Normally these would be businesses in the construction, renovation, landscaping and contracting fields.
Knowing that their peers at these conferences all own websites I put together a landing page on my client's site to gather information from these potential guest post sources and printed out a batch of 'guest post specific' business cards my client hands out to industry peers at their conferences.
With a quick pitch I provided my client that explains the benefit to both parties, our guest post focused business cards we were able to provide a good source of inbound requests from sources that I would wager would never answer a guest post outreach email." -- Luke Marchie, Franklin Digital
8. Offer a guest blog post on your site in return.
"I have been doing guest blogging for about ten years. It's not easy to get a response and you have to send out probably a hundred emails before you get a few responses and takers. Here are my main tips:
- Search for blogs that accept guest posts. If they already accept posts, you have a much better chance
- Before you send a complete article, email them and ask what they are looking for and suggest a few ideas
- If you own a blog yourself, offer them a guest blog post on your site in return. This will work very well if your site is quality and has authority." -- Pierre Zarokian, Submit Express
9. Leverage technology for the most suitable topic and headline.
"There are a host of websites which provide valuable resources for researching keywords, monthly search traffic, backlinks and domain authority. When submitting your proposal, include your research to showcase the potential traffic and value your article will provide to the client's website, which will show you are interested in more than just a backlink.
On top of the research above, also spend some time on the client's website. Browse their existing articles, look at the length of articles and the various headlines and identify gaps where a unique blog post would be suitable -- otherwise your writing time can be wasted.
A headline makes all the difference to visitors on a website, so be bold. Use strong wording and identify popular discussion topics such as 'pain points' or 'industry problems' that your article can help solve." -- Glen Panarese, Living Online
10. Think outside-the-box in terms of niches.
"Guest blogging isn't a mysterious marketing tool that evades most organizations. In fact, it can be very simple and the process can be easily implemented. However, know there is no better cost-effective option for creating backlinks and gaining exposure. You just have to know where to look.
It's important to not only know your audience, but to get creative with it. For example, if your blog offers fitness tips and you've reached out to just about everyone with a high Domain Authority within your niche, think outside of the box. Connect with a few travel sites about a guest post on fitness tips when you're on the road, or contact a DIY blog about a create-your-own fitness routine.
And once you have made a connection, keep in touch. Reach out at least every three months and discuss the opportunity of providing another high-quality, informative piece of content. Remember -- it's all about what you can offer them." -- Angela Ash, Flow SEO
11. Search for broken URL opportunities.
"Guest blogging in this day and age is definitely a lot more difficult than it has been in the past. I have found that the best strategy is to provide value first then offer your writing services. The best way to achieve this is to use a tool called, Check My Links.
This tool is a Chrome extension that will find all of the broken links within a given page of a company's website. Once I have a list of the pages broken links, I piece together an email to the site owner that includes the broken URLs, a short guest writing pitch as well as a list of my sample posts that may be able to replace the broken links on the website.
I have found this to be an incredibly effective method as it provides value first." -- Jamie Thornberry
12. Leverage the power of surveys.
"We find that guest posting -- both securing placements and structuring interesting articles -- is much easier when it's underpinned by original data.
By conducting a simple survey using a tool like SurveyMonkey, you can generate a host of interesting data points that are unique to your brand. This gives you a compelling hook to actually get the site to agree to share your post. Blog editors are overwhelmed with guest post submissions and requests, and there's so much spammy, vanilla stuff.
Going in with data gives you a cutting edge of credibility, and the post is much more likely to be timely, topical, relevant and interesting to the audience -- which is ultimately what that blog editor is most preoccupied with.
This approach has been a huge success for us and has helped us write successful guest posts on high authority sites including Hubspot. But more than this, by hosting the data on a landing page, we find that it attracts organic links from some amazing websites -- which has massively helped us grow our backlink profile and domain authority over the last few years." -- Adam Hayes, Wyzowl
13. Build a relationship.
"If you can, try to build a relationship before you pitch your guest post. Most people are on social media these days so give them a follow and try to get to know them a little with no intentions. Comment and share their content and create a presence in their online space. When they see your name pop up in their email inbox with your guest post pitch, they're more likely to engage with you.
Retain this relationship once you've had your guest blog published. Thank them in any way you can and share the content far and wide. You never know when further opportunities could arise with this new-found relationship. We make the effort to stay in touch with everyone we work on guest posts with and have never been turned away from a second pitch.
As an agency, creating a bank of good go-to blogs that we have solid relationships with means we can guest blog on behalf of multiple clients without the headache of prospecting." -- Sofie Tooke, ASSISTED.
14. Have a personalized approach.
"Using automation and mass communication is the standard advice I hear when it comes to guest blogging, and that's exactly what I would recommend against. We were able to connect with about 60 other industry-relevant sites for guest blogging (for one of our clients) after about a year and a half. This all revolves around real, personalized communication and not a plug-and-play email template.
You have to have a wide base of blog content for your own site. People aren't going to want to -- and shouldn't -- link back to a website with a homepage, about page and contact page. You need educational resources worth linking back to.
Every time you publish a new blog post, do a Google search for: [your topic] + 'guest blog.' This will help you reveal two groups of people -- those who have accepted guest blogs about your topic in the past, and those who are actively networking and contributing guest blogs to other outlets.
Research a blog topic -- that the site hasn't covered yet -- that will be valuable to their audience that your company is knowledgeable about. Send an email to someone from the company pitching them your topic, why it's relevant to their audience, and why you're well-suited to write about it. This should be completely personalized, and you should ask them upfront about their guest blogging guidelines.
The key here is to not use any templates or automation, and put the other site's interested first. If you are genuine, and truly solve a problem for the other company -- delivering insightful, valuable content -- you will be well received.
The best sites to guest blog for have knowledgeable people running things, and they'll see through templated outreach a mile away." -- Tony Mastri, MARION Marketing
15. Use the 'Staircase' approach.
"One guest blogging technique which we are using from last 4 years is the 'Staircase Guest Blogging Approach.' It's our own coined term.
In this approach, we start our guest blogging campaign by writing quality content for the sites which are easily approachable. We put maximum efforts to write the content for these websites as we use them to showcase our quality to other blog owners.
In the second phase, we go to some higher authority sites and send them links to our published articles at many other blogs.
In the final stage, we approach larger websites to accept our guest post, where we show them the links of articles secured during the second phase.
This approach has helped us to get our content published at many large publications." -- Kulwant Nagi, AffloSpark
16. Use Google images to uncover opportunities.
"Here is one unique outside the box guest blogging tip. Use a backlink analysis tool link Ahrefs and sift through competitor links. When you find a blog post you can take the author's image and drag and drop it into Google images and you will find many sites that they have guest posted on.
This is a great indicator of which sites are accepting guest posts. This method has proven effective time-after-time for us and our clients." -- Chronis Tsempelis, SEOExplode
17. Have a clearly defined goal you want to achieve through guest blogging.
"Yes guest blogging is a great link-building activity. Yes it can help expand your digital footprint. However, a clearly defined smart goal related to your guest blogging will help you to seek out the most appropriate sites for you to pitch to.
Furthermore, setting a specific goal will help you to define what type of content you would like to contribute. Goal-setting should always be the first step." -- Briana Marie, Tanzek Media
18. Approach every opportunity as a partnership.
"Guest blogging is all about relationships. Relationships are all about trust. There are many practical tips for finding blogs to guest post on and how to find quality blogs, but the most important thing to remember is that guest blogging requires partnerships.
My tip for guest blogging, is to know and be known by your partner. When establishing a connection, don't be afraid to convey personality as well as your expertise. This fosters trust and makes you much more memorable.
Treating guest blogging as a relationship first has been successful for our team. It's how you change from the 'seeker' to the 'sought' and ultimately establish win-win partnerships. You'll find the trust you build in the real world translating to trust online." -- Nick Rorabaugh, SEOteric
19. Always focus on publishing high-quality content.
"The best way to effectively guest blog is to write high quality content and cater the subject to both your business and the business of the blog you are contributing to. This way you are adding value to both companies. I achieve this by doing some research on their blog to understand their preferred subject-matter and keywords and then pitching a topic that relates to what we do and what they are interested in.
For example, we develop apps, so if I were pitching to a tech real estate blog, I would pitch a subject like 'Why using mobile apps can can help people find apartments faster'" -- Emily Clifford, Fueled
20. Offer something truly unique and sought-after by the target publication's audience.
"Visit sites like Quora, Answer the Public, Reddit and Google Suggest. Learn the subject-related questions people are struggling to find answers to. Do the research and document your findings complying fully with the target publication's editorial guidelines and supported by compelling, unique, high-quality graphics and visuals. You will need research, copywriting and graphic design skills to be successful.
For example, if you are aiming to get published in a top apartment rental publication, you might discover Millennials searching for apartments with the best river views in the city, loft apartments, apartments with wood-burning fireplaces, or sound-proof apartments.
Get answers to those questions documenting your findings in detail including your research methodology, data sources and an original map showing the location of each of the properties mentioned." -- Donna Duncan, B-SeenOnTop
21. Look for blogs that share the same philosophy.
"Make sure that you are guest posting on a site that has the same 'world view.' In today's media world, it's easy to start a firestorm unintentionally. It's best to find blogs that you share the same philosophy with because you'll have a greater chance of gaining followers who are like-minded and potentially become customers.
We all hope that we can change someone's mind by dazzling them with our knowledge and perspective, and maybe we can, over time -- but the reality is that when you're working in someone else's domain -- literally and figuratively -- it's best to find someone you agree with rather than someone you oppose. Offering a new perspective, that's complementary to your host, is definitely important. Just make sure you're not starting unnecessary drama for yourself or your blog host." -- Virginia Case, STRATAC

Since introducing the first index fund for individual investors in the United States in 1976, Vanguard has developed a reputation for tight index tracking, rigorous risk controls and low costs. Today, millions of investors around the world rely on us for our high-quality index investments.
Our index ETFs are designed to work as part of a core indexing strategy that targets major asset classes.
In Canada, we offer a suite of market-capitalization-weighted index ETFs that cover Canadian, U.S. and international equities and Canadian and global investment-grade bonds. These ETFs benefit from the same management expertise and benchmark construction best practices that made us a global indexing leader.
Low costs
Index investments don't require highly paid teams to analyze and select stocks. Instead, they hold securities until the index itself changes. As a result, they generally have low management and transaction costs. Research has shown lower-cost funds tend to outperform higher-cost funds over the long term.
Index investments generally hold most or all of the securities in their target indexes, and some provide exposure to thousands of securities. Investing in many or all key market segments ensures some participation in stronger areas while also mitigating the impact of weaker areas.
Most index investments have a precise, easily understood objective: to track the performance of a specific index (before fees and expenses).
Tax efficiency
Index investments may provide a tax advantage relative to open-end, actively managed funds because their management tends to require less portfolio turnover. Lower turnover can minimize capital gains distributions, which can, in turn, improve long-term after-tax performance.
Competitive performance
Low-cost, well-managed index investments can be an effective way to achieve competitive returns over the long run.
Read about our benchmarks and their methodology.
Index products and the benchmarks they seek to track have proliferated. But index providers' methodologies vary, so two benchmarks tracking the same market segment may deliver very different results. Selecting an appropriate benchmark is crucial to providing a best-in-class index ETF.
Many index providers use benchmark construction best practices that Vanguard has promoted for years. We believe equity and fixed income benchmarks should:
Additionally, equity benchmarks should use multiple criteria to categorize growth versus value stocks and use buffer zones so that market-capitalization divisions can overlap, with no hard cut-off points, to limit unnecessary turnover.
Using best practices to construct benchmarks can deliver benefits to investors, including:

Berlin specific regulations and taxesUnfortunately, there is a lot of administrative things for us to to do and check. Since 1 August 2018, all short-term rentable Berlin residential real estate must be officially registered in accordance with a recently introduced municipal law ("ZwVbG"). The corresponding registration number for Taut´s Home is: 08/Z/ZA/003544-16. Like all "ordinary" accommodations and hotels, we are also obliged to charge 5% "city tax" which applies for all touristically motivated overnight stays in the city. If your stay at Taut´s Home relates to professional reasons (i.e. that you are visiting a business conference here or also that you are working as an architect, designer consultant engaged in monument restoration, color design, urban layout etc.), we ask for proof and do not have to raise the 5%. Otherwise we need to collect this amount for the city and forward it to the tax offices.
Personal remark :)Although we put down certain rules above, we do not expect any trouble. On the contrary: Until now all our guests proved to be very friendly, care-taking, respectful and well aware of the heritage tradition and specific neighbourhood of Taut´s Home. And what is more: They all enjoyed their stay! To read about their impressions please see the excerpts of our guestbook.

From all my garden writing and various other comments, you might conclude that we grow a lot of zucchini. That would be correct! And yet, somehow, I don't have many varietal reports for zucchini. This should help fix that!
The troubles I refer to below to which zucchini are subject, are squash bugs, cucumber beetles, and powdery mildew. Other people complain of vine-borers but thus far *spits, knocks wood* we have been spared that pest. Pretty much all squash, cucumbers and some melons are prone to these ailments in a greater or lesser degree, and they must be regarded philosophically.
Golden Zucchini:
In the photo above; do I even have to say which one? Oh, all right – on the left.
We've grown this every year since almost the beginning, in spite of some frustrations with it. The colour is lovely, and our mothers can be relied on to pounce on them whenever one turns up in the offerings. That's not quite as often as we would like, because this is not the most productive variety, and the fruits tend to run a little on the smaller side. But golden! And a very pleasant flavour. The other problem is that some plants produce reasonably steadily and others just sit there doing nothing much; we generally plant 2 and between them can expect to get some golden zucchini. They are otherwise no more or less trouble-prone than other varieties, and in keeping with their smaller size as fruits the bushes are fairly compact as well. Should be about 55 days to maturity. In spite of this apparently late date I think our second zucchini of the summer was a Golden one, so not that far off the others.
I'm not aware of another readily available open-pollinated golden variety of zucchini, and even hybrid versions seem a bit sparse. I'd give one a try, given the limitations of this one, but the lack of choices suggest that if you want a yellow zucchini, this is in fact as good as it gets.
It was introduced in 1973 by Burpee, "from material supplied by Dr. Oved Shifress". Burpee used to be a fine old American company producing better things than anthracnose infected beans (grrr, I am pretty sure that's where I picked up my nasty case of bean plague). Some people claim it as an heirloom variety, although that seems to be pushing the meaning of heirloom a bit far to me.
I can't find much information about Dr. Shifress, beyond his association with Burpee and Rutgers University, but that he emigrated to Israel in the 1940s. That suggests Burpee spent up to 30 years working on this variety; a considerable investment of time. It may also explain why no-one has come up with a better version yet.
Black Beauty Zucchini:
Also in the photo above, on the right. It is also prosaically known as "Dark Green" which is a more technically accurate description of the colour, but lacking in that marketing oomph.
This is probably the most widely-available standard open-pollinated zucchini in North America, and has been available as seeds to gardeners since the 1930s, although it finally seems to be being supplanted by newer varieties. This site say introduced by the Jerome B. Rice Seed Co. in 1931, and that it won the All American Selection in 1957. I'm comfortable calling this one an heirloom variety, although given its long history I suspect it has been improved over the years. It is so widely popular because it is quite early to start producing – 50 days to maturity – very productive, and resilient in the garden. The flavour is good – what we expect zucchini to taste like, in fact, given its ubiquity – but there are better tasting varieties out there. (Cocozelle and its selection Costata Romanesco come to mind at once.) Still, we grow it most years and are happy to eat it. Best a little on the smaller side.
Mutabile Zucchini:
This is a new one to us this year; we got the seeds from Hawthorn Farm. It is the top zucchini in the above photo.
As you can see, this is very much in the style of Black Beauty. It is still an open pollinated variety, although it seems to be of fairly recent origin. I can trace its voyage to Hawthorn Farm back through Adaptive Seeds and Turtle Tree Seed in the U.S. to Sativa-Reinau in Switzerland. It is not clear to me whether they were the breeders of this variety or not; very possibly.
The main advantage of this over Black Beauty is the open structure of the plant which apparently contributes to it being resistant to mildew. Since we have not yet hit mildew season here, I cannot comment. The above mentioned seed companies all seem to be very impressed though. Like Black Beauty, it should start producing in about 50 days. It is on the larger side of average for a zucchini bush. The stems do feel faintly fuzzy rather than prickly, but I'm not sure how that really affects things. I guess if you are a market gardener picking zucchini for hours it makes life more pleasant, but I worry that it makes them less resistant to bugs. Since we haven't had any significant squash pests in the last few years I have no data. So far, they are a good, productive standard zucchini. I'm not even growing Black Beauty this year – we were out of seeds and bought these instead – so I cannot do a direct comparison. My impression is that they are at least as productive and probably more so. We are likely to continue to replace Black Beauty with this variety.
Dunja F1 Hybrid Zucchini:
We got this one from William Dam, and this is the second year we have grown it. It is the bottom zucchini in the above photo.
Mr. Ferdzy had a grump last year about vegetable seeds, and decided he wanted to try a bunch of hybrids. This was one of them. As usual with hybrids, I am just not that impressed. I mean, it's fine. It's a nice compact plant and really quite productive. The zucchini are pretty much indistinguishable from Black Beauty for looks and flavour. It's supposed to have intermediate resistance to powdery mildew, papaya ringspot virus, watermelon mosaic virus, and zucchini yellow mosaic virus. Since we have had none of those diseases in the 2 years we've grown it, I cannot comment except for the powdery mildew. Again, Dunja comes with an open plant habit and lack of spines. My impression last year was that powdery mildew hit hard overnight towards the end of August bringing the production of zucchini by any and all plants to a complete halt simultaneously, including Dunja. So, no on that one. I was quite annoyed as I expect to get zucchini into September. It was, I guess, a bad year for mildew since it was so cool and damp overall. But I can't say that I think slightly improved production on a compact plant justifies the kind of price that gets charged for hybrid seed.
We'll plant what we have left of this (maybe nothing because there sure weren't a lot of seeds in the packet) and go back to open pollinated varieties. William Dam says 43 days to maturity, which is certainly very early. I think it was the first to produce this year, but I wouldn't say by a week; only a couple of days so that sounds a bit optimistic too. On the other hand a study from Cornell found that Dunja is quite good at setting squash without being pollinated by insects, so if you are struggling with a lack of pollinators you may wish to try this one. Again, this is obviously a newer variety and as far as I can find it comes from a Dutch company called Vitalis.
Cocozelle / Costata Romanesca:
I was a bit amazed to realize I don't seem to have ever reviewed this variety. All three zucchini in the above photo are Costata Romanesca.
Costata Romanesca seems to be a particular selection of an Italian type generally known as Cocozelle. I've grown zucchini labelled Cocozelle in the past, and my impression is that while the two were not completely identical, they were similar enough that either would do. The striped, slightly fluted fruit is quite distinctive. The flesh is a creamier yellow than most other zucchini I have had, and for flavour they leave all the others in the dust. The texture is also extremely superior and these are nicer raw than any other variety I have had.
So why doesn't everyone grow Cocozelle, Cocozelle, and nothing but Cocozelle? Well, as usual, there are trade-offs. First of all, this is not a compact plant. I'd still describe it as bush rather than a vine (like Tatume), but pretty much by the skin of its teeth. By the end of the season you can expect to be picking zucchini at least 6 feet from where the plant first emerged from the soil. It's also doesn't have an open habit, or lack of prickles, or whatever. Some people describe it as positively sticky. For all the space that it takes up, you don't get more squash than with the compact bush varieties; a bit less even. At 52 days to maturity, it's on the late side – although I will note that you are not waiting more than a week from the earliest varieties to start picking these, which isn't that long in the grand scheme of things. Besides the distinctive ribbing, they are likely to be a slightly ungainly shape compared to more modern varieties.
But really, when all is said and done, this is a variety I recommend to just about everyone. Only a great deal of space pressure would induce me to give it up for another variety. We do plant other varieties, for different colours or earlier production, but I just wouldn't want to be without this one. It is the best.
It is said to have decent powdery mildew resistance but as usual, not that I've ever noticed.

The one day I decided to warm up and not wear knee pads was the day I couldn't return an x-up flying out on a 6 foot box jump. Busted my meniscus and had to go through an arthroscopy to clean up the dead tissue, just when I thought I was done, they found out my ACL was torn dead and had to cut it off, I will be going through ACL reconstruction in a month or so. If I had only worn knee pads to keep my knee from bending over sideways...

She was also famous for her early advocacy of several divisive causes, including women's rights, female education and the abolition of slavery. The most famous quote of Abigail Adams is: Remember the ladies.

POSITIVe is a recently started network approved and funded by the COST organization in the field of Food & Agriculture. The action is chaired by Dr. Christine Morand (INRA, France) and co-chaired by Dr Francisco Tomas-Barberan (CEBAS-CSIC, Spain) who will lead the network with the cooperation and help of a Management Committee (MC) and a Steering Committee (SC) formed by members of the Action. Principal Scientist Anna-Marja Aura from VTT is a member of the Management Committee. POSITIVE was launched on the 11th of December 2014 in Brussels and will run until the end of 2018. The first Newsletter has recently been published describing the activities in the action (POSITIVe Newsletter June-2015). Details about POSITIVE can be found at the website http://www6.inra.fr/cost-positive. For more information: email@example.com
