Goulburn Stags and O'Connor Knights joined Brindabella Blues in the next round of the Westfield FFA Cup Preliminary Rounds in the ACT. Get the full lowdown here.
Stags create history with City victory
Thursday 28 April
Goulburn Stags (SL1) 2 (Robert Dorsett 29', Aaron Swanson 55') Canberra City (SL1) 1 (Ben Garrard 12')
(Goulburn Workers Arena)
By Ahmed Jbeili
The Goulburn Stags are off to the fourth round of the Westfield FFA Cup after coming from behind to beat Canberra City in the first cup match held in Goulburn creating a little piece of football history in the process. The home ground advantage proved invaluable for the Stags as they came away with a 2-1 win thanks to goals from Robert Dorsett and Aaron Swanson. It wasn't an easy start for the Stags as Canberra City began the match at full pace, with winger Joel Olney and striker Ben Garrard looking dangerous with a number of opportunities to score.

Knights knock out plucky Lanyon
Thursday 28 April
Lanyon United (SL1) 1 (Tamotsu Kanazawa 90') O'Connor Knights (CL) 2 (Brett Forward 29', Hector Cirda-Cid 60')
(Hawker Football Centre)
Capital League O'Connor Knights marched on to Round 4 of the Westfield FFA Cup and a potential date with the giants of Canberra football after they edged past State League 1 Lanyon United 2-1 at Hawker Football Centre. In a classic cup tie the underdogs gave as good as they got for large parts of the match but the greater quality of their opponents eventually told although Lanyon, and their travelling band of supporters, can be justifiably proud of their showing.
In a tight first half the only goal of the opening forty-five minutes was scored just before the half-hour. The Knights were awarded a penalty for an infringement inside the area and, although Ben Miller in the Lanyon goal saved well from Knights striker Brett Forward, the ball rebounded kindly for the penalty taker and he made no mistake from the follow-up.

Give Rajon Rondo credit for honesty. When interviewed at the Red Bull "King of the Rock" event on notorious Alcatraz Island, the speedy Celtics All-Star point guard named the fans at Chicago's United Center as the league's most obnoxious crowd.
"Id say Chicago," Rondo told RedBull.com. "Ever since a couple years back in the playoffs, me and Kirk Hinrich got into it and theyve been booing me and heckling me ever since."
At least Rondo put his answer into a personal context. Bulls fans have a long memory and now that the hometown team has ascended to an upper-echelon squad following Rondo's dust-up with fan favorite "Captain Kirk," in the Bulls and Celtics historic first-round series in 2009. Chicago supporters have let him hear it.
The fact that Rondo faces off with league MVP Derrick Rose in a matchup of two of the game's premier point guards also puts a target on his back. However, while fans at the UC may have a personal animus toward Rondo, it would be unfair to call the "Madhouse on Madison" crowd the league's most obnoxious, although the likes of Pacers veteran big man Jeff Foster might disagree.
Passionate? Yes, but when it comes to over-the-top behavior, the fans at Rondo's own home arena in Boston have to be up there, along with the crowds in Salt Lake City, New York, Denver and Philadelphia. Rondo is on the money when he cites Golden State's fans -- despite the Warriors' perennially losing ways -- as the NBA's loudest. Though fans in Portland and Oklahoma City could give them a run for their money.
Really, this debate comes down to semantics. One man's "obnoxious" is simply another man's "intense," which is what Rondo calls the crowd at Boston's TD Banknorth Garden. How would his former Celtics assistant coach, Tom Thibodeau, compare the two arenas now?

After 2 hospitalizations, one for callaped lung from the biopsy & the other for systemic cellulitis, I had 2 thoracic surgeries separately only days apart, the second one removed one of my lung lobes. Have since been hospitalized twice for a bowel obstruction & again for the removal of a 5" tumor from my ovary (BENIGN!) I started Tarceva in January, my face continually breaks out & my skin is tough as leather & I have lost much of my hair. I have been given a Stage IV, but with a sketchy prognosis due to the fact the circumstances of the cancer in my case I am told are unprecedented, though, I have faced in more "opinions" very hopeless scenerios.....However, I no longer put much weight in what they tell me, I am basically an extremely happy person and have faith in my determination that if they're so undecided, I will make my own prognosis and that prognosis is life.

The medium-altitude MQ-9B SkyGuardian drone will make its first ever trans-Atlantic flight to the Royal International Air Tattoo in the U.K. next month, General Atomics announced on Monday.
The long-endurance remotely piloted aircraft is scheduled to fly from the company's flight test center in Grand Forks, North Dakota, to RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, U.K. the company said in a release.
General Atomics will "demonstrate a new standard in RPA flight endurance" by flying the SkyGuardian across the Atlantic in honor of the Royal Air Force's centennial celebration, said Linden Blue, CEO of General Atomics Aeronautical Systems.
"Given the distinguished 100 year history of the RAF, we believe that this flight is an appropriate way to celebrate the RAF's position as a leader in innovation," Blue said in a release.

MQ-9B is the latest version of General Atomics' multi-mission Predator B fleet, and a variant of its maritime intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance SeaGuardian, the release said. The RAF plans to buy the SkyGuardian as part of its PROTECTOR RG Mk1 program, it said.
Recent tests of the SkyGuardian show the drone can fly nonstop for more than 48 hours, surpassing its projected max endurance of 40 hours, officials said.
In comparison to its MQ-1 Predator and MQ-9 Reaper cousins, the MQ-9B, which can fly roughly 240 miles per hour, has been tailored to withstand more damage and weather conditions, including ice, and has been incorporated with more robust flight control software, according to General Atomics' description of the drone.
The SkyGuardian would also be able to fly even in the event of a bird or lightning strike.
The drone has been tested to meet requirements from the UK Military Airworthiness Authority (MAA), the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, and will also meet NATO standard certification, officials have said.
"Type-certification, together with an extensively tested collision avoidance system, will allow unrestricted operations in all classes of civil airspace," the release said.

Let's pretend for a minute that Mariano Rivera was actually a starter for the Yankees. After all, that's how he was brought up in the farm system. Would they have won four championships in five years? Would they have won 10 division titles? Can you even imagine someone else closing games for the Bronx Bombers? I sure can't.
On Sunday, June 28, Mariano Rivera saved his 500th career game, good for second on the all-time saves list. He is also only the second player to achieve the milestone behind current saves leader Trevor Hoffman of the Milwaukee Brewers. There is great debate about who the best closer is of all time and I have to say it's Rivera. Let's take a retrospective look at Mo's career.
Mariano Rivera joined the New York Yankees in 1995 as a starting pitcher. That year, he appeared in 19 games, starting 10 before being moved to the bullpen. He finished that season with a 5.51 ERA in 67 innings pitched. Once he was moved to the bullpen, he would never look back. In 1996, Rivera was the setup man for closer John Wetteland, who won the World Series MVP that year by saving four games in the series. However, '96 was Wetteland's last year with the Yankees, opening the door for Mariano Rivera to step in as closer. In 1997, Rivera's first year as full-time closer, he had a 6-4 record with 43 saves and an astounding 1.88 ERA. In 1999, Rivera had 45 saves and a 1.83 ERA and he also earned World Series MVP honors in a sweep of the Braves. Rivera had 50 saves in 2001, the second most of any season in his career, despite having a losing record. 2004 was Rivera's best year as a closer in terms of saves, as he converted 53 of 57 save opportunities. From 2003-2008, only once was his ERA over 2. In 2007, his ERA was 3.15. Fast forward to today. For his career up to this point, Rivera has a 69-51 record, 2.30 ERA, 500 saves, and a nearly 4:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio (973 strikeouts to 247 walks). What is more impressive is his performance in the postseason. He is 8-1 all-time in the postseason with a 0.77 ERA and 34 saves.
In fairness, there has to be a comparison. Trevor Hoffman's career numbers: 57-67 record, 2.76 ERA, 572 saves, and a nearly 4:1 strikeout-to-walk ratio (1074 strikeouts to 279 walks). In the postseason, Hoffman has a 1-2 record with a 3.46 ERA and 4 saves. Strictly by the numbers, Mariano Rivera is better in every catergory except saves. I think that what cements Mariano Rivera as the greatest ever is his unbelievable consistency and the fact that he plays in the American League where there is the DH, whereas Hoffman plays in the National League where the pitcher bats. Hoffman is currently in a one-year deal with Brewers and it very well could be his last season. Rivera, on the other hand, still has a good three or four years left in him, plenty of time to catch up to Hoffman if he retires after this year. Here's to you, Mariano Rivera, the greatest closer of all time.

If you happened to be frantically running around trying to take care of last minute holiday madness as we were, you might have missed the show. We didn't get around to watching the demo until this morning in fact, but we're glad we did as MuscleNerd's demo was great. The Dev-Team's yellowsn0w solution is fantastically quick and painless, despite the fact that the Team hadn't even had a chance to prepare a GUI yet. So people, if you have a case of iPhone 3G envy but don't feel like signing a new carrier contract then get your eBay gloves and a pot of coffee ready – yellowsn0w is a go and it'll be in your hands, courtesy of the Dev-Team, on New Year's Eve. Great work fellas!

Philmont Trek 708-A-3
Watchung Area Council Contingent
July 7 - 21, 1979
Day 9 on the Trail : July 17, 1979
Lower Aspen Springs Camp to Visto Grande Camp
We woke up just before the sun came over the horizon. I rolled out into the chilly morning and went to the site to pack and start my stove for breakfast.
Today was to be our longest day: twelve miles, with a stop halfway to do three hours of conservation work for our 50-Miler award.
We got started just as the sun was coming up over the mountains. At around nine-thirty we arrived at Ute Gulch Camp Commissary to pick up our food for the rest of the trip.
At eleven o'clock we got to Ute Gulch where we were to put in our service hours. We ate lunch and went to where we were to work. A ranger showed us what we were supposed to do and pointed us to our tools. We were supposed to cut a trail out of the mountain with the tools provided. The work was long and difficult and the sun was scorching. Before long my shirt was wet with sweat, so I took it off and proceeded to get sunburned.
We worked for about four hours, took a fifteen minute break, then headed for Visto Grande Camp. We hiked along the trail for an hour. Friz stopped us and said the trail we wanted went away from our camp for a mile or so, then swung back and headed for the site along switchbacks up a mountain. He suggested that we bushwack, head for the site in a straight line by using compass bearings. We agreed, hoping to save time.
We all took bearings, agreed on a direction and headed out. We came to all kinds of obstacles, like barbed wire fences, steep inclines and bull briar, a low growing weed with thorns, like constantina wire used during World War I and II.
We hit the trail that we were supposed to take as it started with the switchbacks. We followed this trail the rest of the way to the campsite. We guessed that we saved about forty minutes by cutting through the forest.
We arrived ahead of our sister crew, who left Ute Gulch ahead of us. We chose a site with plenty of room and a fire lay and settled in. Greg and I went out with the two gallon containers for water. On the map was a marker for an underground spring that supplied water to this site. We found a black pipe with a wooden cork in it. I put my canteen under the pipe, took out the cork, and cool, clear water rushed into my canteen. When it was filled about halfway, the flow slowed to a trickle. I put the cork back in and waited for the pressure to build again. I took a drink out of my canteen and found that the water from this spring was the smoothest, best water I had ever had.
We filled up our containers and got back to camp. We wanted to leave early the next day to get to our last site on the trail, Ponil.
Visto Grande was an unstaffed camp, so we cooked dinner early, cleaned up early, and went to bed early. After hiking for twelve miles and doing four hours of hard work, we were all ready to go to bed anyway. I hadn't set up my entire tent, just the rain tarp that covers it. Before I climbed in, Friz said to everybody "Look" and he pointed up. In the sky were big, black, ominous clouds heading our way. This was the first time that we actually saw the rain coming before it was upon us. Friz said we were in for high winds, with plenty of thunder and lightning – the works!
I pushed my tarp stakes in as far as they would go, crawled in and listened to the wind whistle overhead. I fell asleep to that shortly after I lay down.

Boreholes provide a way for us to understand groundwater systems through monitoring and aquifer testing. Pumping tests are controlled field experiments performed to understand the hydraulic characteristics of an aquifer. In these tests a borehole is pumped at a constant rate for a certain period of time and the variation in drawdown with time is recorded in the abstraction borehole and a set of observation boreholes or piezometers.
Boreholes can also be pumped to exploit groundwater as a resource. In southern England up to 70 per cent of the total public water supply comes from groundwater. In parts of the UK boreholes are also commonly used to abstract groundwater for private water supply, irrigation and industry.
Numerical cylindrical grid models are powerful tools that can be used to model flow to boreholes. They include many of the near-well flow processes required to produce accurate solutions for pumping test analysis and to give accurate prediction of borehole efficiency, including:
These numerical models also represent complex conceptual ideas, such as vertical and horizontal aquifer heterogeneity or proximity of rivers, to allow conceptual models to be tested and improved.
The BGS undertakes research in collaboration with universities and other research institutes, industry, environmental regulators and government and non-government organisations to improve our modelling capabilities and assist in solving a wide range of environmental issues including:
In addition to our research activities we undertake modelling projects for a number of commercial clients. Previous work has included the analysis of pumping tests conducted in the Chalk aquifer in the Swanscombe area of Kent, South East England; tests conducted in the superficial deposits in Howden and Aviemore, Scotland; and tests conducted in Vowchurch, Wales. The team has skilled specialists that apply existing modelling tools and develop bespoke software as necessary.
The BGS has developed a number of groundwater modelling software tools that simulate groundwater flow to boreholes.
The Cylindrical grid Object Oriented Model for Pumping Test analysis COOMPuTe is a finite difference model designed to simulate groundwater flows converging to pumped boreholes. The model features simulating groundwater flows in confined and unconfined aquifers including a moving water table, a seepage face, well storage, and well losses. The model also has particle tracking capabilities enabling the delineation of the pathway of a contaminant under complex hydrogeological settings.
The SPIDDER Flow Model (Simulating Pumping Boreholes with a Darcy-Forchheimer Regional-Radial Flow Model) is being developed through an EPSRC-funded PhD by Imperial College London and the BGS, with support from Thames Water Utilities Ltd. It reflects the need to be able to simulate groundwater systems at both the catchment scale and borehole scale to assess the long-term, sustainable yield of supply boreholes. The SPIDERR Flow Model couples a radial model of the Darcy-Forchheimer equation with a Cartesian grid to allow easy linkage with the ZOOMQ3D groundwater modelling code through OpenMI.

In a recent interview, No Malice discusses returning to Hip Hop and his relationship with his brother, Pusha T. With a new Clipse album in the works, No Malice has decided to talk about his return and to offer some lucidity concerning his relationship with Pusha.
During a recent interview with Noisy, No Malice spoke about his return to the Hip Hop music world, his relationship with his brother, and their upcoming reunion LP. After a four year sabbatical from the game, No Malice has returned and says that he needed the time away from the game and that recording music is second nature to him. He feels that he is a more well-rounded emcee because of the experiences he endured during his time away from the game.
"This rap game to me is second nature. It feels good to be back in the studio," he explained. "It feels really good to be able to do something with my brother, and with Ab-Liva, the Re-Up Gang. It's like exercise. You never forget what it is. I just feel like now I got more content, better content. Way more substance. It really means a lot to me."
During the interview, No Malice also discussed his relationship with his brother and Clipse Cohort, Push T. He clears the air by iterating that there was never any tension between his brother and himself. He says that they are still very supportive of each other's individual careers.
"I think people try to make up things, but [Pusha and I] never have any problems," he explained. "We laugh and joke; everything is cool. We're two grown men, and any two grown men that are still joined at the hip, to me, there's something wrong with that. I'm definitely on my path. My lifestyle has changed. I've grown a lot and continue to grow. I'm not the same person that I was, and I'm trying to express that in my music. Pusha is doing his thing. He's everywhere. He's enjoying his work and everything that he has going on, and we're proud of him and continue to show support."

8 Tips to Getting More Views on Facebook
The playing field keeps getting more competitive. Are you keeping up?
Facebook started as a platform to find and communicate with friends. Today I see a rat race for the most likes and views.
This isn't limited to businesses. Each Facebook user wants his or her content to be noticed, right?
People are overwhelmed with content. They receive it via billboards, emails and printed media. When you're overwhelmed you pick the effortless route. Videos are easier to digest and more attractive because of both audio & visual features.
You also want Facebook video views for business reasons because they influence your profit margin. The stakes are high.
Do you get your video posts viewed by enough Facebook users?
The Importance of Facebook Video Views
Don't think you can ignore this avenue of marketing. Facebook's popularity makes it a profitable marketing platform. If you don't use the platform your competitors will.
Lucrative Market
In America most people spend 40 minutes per day viewing their feed on Facebook.
When you communicate with your community on Facebook you must use the correct tools. If you want to catch clients', friends' or the public's attention you have to use the mediums they're most open to. It's no longer enough to post text updates or images.
In 2015 Facebook recorded 8 billion views per day. That's only video views. Imagine what the rate is in 2018. Are you getting your share of these views?
Facebook's algorithm searches for the best content around so users stay interested. A video carries much more weight than images.
A video is also a quick way of delivering information. Thanks to Facebook's Autoplay feature your video can deliver a message fast. Without the viewer even deciding to open the post the video will start playing. Do you see how beneficial this can be?
It Determines Your Status
If you want to be a Facebook hit or a successful marketer views are important.
Facebook users see views and likes as ways to measure people's—or a posts'—worth. They prefer viewing videos with a high number of views. It tells them it's worth watching.
How do you get the first views that will attract the others?
So now you know what's important. How can you optimize your videos to get more views on Facebook?
1. Direct Uploads Work
Before you think of linking all your YouTube videos to Facebook, stop.
Yes you have to use videos but you have to upload them directly to Facebook. Don't work via third party channels.
When videos are uploaded to Facebook directly they are watched more and easier. Users don't have to open applications such as YouTube.
These videos also end up in more news feeds and viewers can easily tag friends. This means more exposure for you.
Now you know how to post. Let's talk about what to post.
2. First Impressions Last
All you need on Facebook is three seconds. Three seconds of viewing time is equal to one view. If you promote your company on YouTube you have to engage a viewer for 30 seconds.
Facebook's statistics department makes it simple for you but that doesn't mean it's easy.
Even with Facebook's Autoplay feature your audience scroll past posts faster than the three second rule can benefit you. So how do you immediately engage someone?
Movement is Important
A motionless intro robs you of people's attention.
Movement catches the eye of a user who is lazily scrolling.
Movement shows viewers what your video is about if your potential viewer doesn't read the description. This is why stunt videos and pet videos garner attention. Footage of these topics are rarely motionless.
Pick the Right Thumbnail
Perhaps your video is part of a news feed that simply slides by as someone scrolls? Is your first frame—your thumbnail—enough to make someone reverse his or her scrolling?
The art of Facebook video production is almost a science. Are you aware you can edit a personal video before posting it to your wall? Make sure you edit it so a striking first frame invites people to view the rest.
I picked this video from a bunch displayed on my Smartphone screen. The colors and subject caught my eye because I was hungry while browsing. This seemed like an interesting lunch.
Do you see how you can connect with someone's subconscious mind?
It doesn't even have much sound but I watched it to find out what I could plan for my next meal.
This brings us to another important question: How well does your video communicate your message if no sound is played?
Pick a Title
Increase your video's impact with a catchy title or description. Some Facebook users DO love reading. If you catch someone's attention and mention the value of the video it may spark interest.
You want your video watched to its end so people get your full message and share it afterwards.
Assess each part of your video for its value.
3. Develop Your Reach
How important is a higher number of views on Facebook to you? Are you willing to invest some time and effort in the process?
You can use your current Facebook activity to devise a better plan for the future. All the tools are in place. Unfortunately not many people know about them.
What is Reach?
Facebook offers you Facebook Insights. This shows you a reach report. Think of your Reach as the amount of Facebook users your status updates—and videos—are seen by.
These statistics are determined by:
- The posts you make. If your postings are of higher quality they may reach more people.
- The actions followers take with your posts such as Like, Comment and Share. How do your followers help your messages reach more news feeds? What can you do to initiate more actions?
- Activities on other platforms that direct traffic to your Facebook page. This includes links in emails, Like widgets on your website and mentions on Twitter or Instagram. Are your using these tools to increase your Facebook impact?
- The people you reach via Facebook campaigns.
You can see the amount of information Facebook offers is vast. It's a pity so few people make use of these statistics.
Optimizing Your Reach
Are you optimizing all these avenues?
If you want your Facebook marketing and posting to have impact you need a plan.
The statistics will show you where you can improve. Some of the tips in this article will help improve your reach. Using the information available puts you one step ahead of competitors.
4. Invite Others to Post Videos
Are you afraid to let others post videos on your wall?
If you realize how valuable the engagement of people is you'll rethink your position.
When influencers of your sphere—such as business leaders—post videos on your feed their audience may see the activity on their news feed.
Firstly you'll be respected because of the connection with influencers. Secondly the views will channel users to your profile.
Can you afford to be territorial about your page?
Relax. Facebook makes it possible to have security and exposure. Use these handy settings:
- Make sure you're informed of all posts made to your wall.
- Require that you have to approve posts before they appear on your wall.
- Pick guidelines for posts. You can block posts that contain certain keywords. This empowers you to keep profanity and controversy off your wall.
Avail yourself of the many Facebook features that benefit you.
5. Be Interactive
Facebook is a hit because people are addicted to interaction. Even people who don't like going out love interacting with friends online.
Here's how this can count in your favour to obtain more views on Facebook.
Ask for Captions
People love giving their opinion. Give them a chance to do this by asking for a caption for your video. Offer a prize for the best one to give them more reason to take part.
They may think you're in need of some inspiration. Actually you're making use of their needs. This isn't unfair. It's basic psychology.
It also forces them to view the whole video and they may tag friends so they can join in on the fun.
Remind them of Sound
Autoplay is awesome because your visuals start making impact before any button is pressed. Unfortunately viewers then miss out on sound.
Remind viewers to watch the video with sound for optimum effect. It will spark their interest because they'll wonder what they're missing out on.
Live Video
The new Facebook trend—Live Video—means your followers can be part of your experiences in real time.
Use this feature. It's popular because people are curious and don't want to miss out on the latest news.
If you're filming an activity or announcement they will think it's worth the view.
6. Recycle the Good Stuff
Don't think someone's going to laugh at you for reposting an old hit. Excellent videos rarely go out of date.
Your Facebook analytics reports will show you which videos got the most engagement.
Chances are someone is looking for the video to show to a friend who hasn't seen it.
Visit your archives from time to time and take out the golden oldies. It will get more views and shares on Facebook and benefit your page again.
7. Quality is Key
You're not going to get interaction from fans if you don't deliver excellent products. Excellent videos are posted on Facebook every day. You have to make sure yours stand out among the rest.
A fan may view the first three seconds of your video. That's one view.
If it's not watched until the end you haven't succeeded in the next vital step. It won't be shared with others so they can view it too.
The content of your video determines whether you'll get more views on Facebook from people outside your Friends and Followers lists.
Here are a few tips to make your videos better.
Quality Video
People are spoiled for choice on social media platforms. They can get HD quality videos.
If your video is not on par with other videos fans may not think it worth the watch.
Think about:
- Make sure videos don't pixelate. You run a risk of losing video quality when you edit, send or distribute the video. Make sure the video you use on Facebook will look great even when viewed on large screens.
- If you're making a video yourself you have to do acquire skills in filmography. The camera, microphone and lighting will have an effect on your video's quality. Seasoned viewers will notice defects. They may judge your message or product in terms of the video's quality. Prevent this by hiring professionals or using quality equipment. It may require additional time, effort and money but will be worth it.
Having faces in your footage is paramount. Try building your video around people rather than simply using words, landscapes or inanimate objects.
People instinctively react to faces. You can't prevent them doing it. Use this to your advantage.
If a face at the start of the video makes someone view it you've captured one person's attention. Using faces throughout the video means the viewer takes in more of your message. If your content is of value your video will be shared.
Look at this picture. On one screenshot you have two posts with faces. I almost don't know which one to look at first. This is not because I love weddings or want to try out the software. I want to know why she's crying and I think the lady on the left has something exciting to tell me.
People's faces attract attention and result in engagement.
Keep it Relevant
As with any type of post on Facebook you must keep videos relevant. People like, view and share posts when they find value in them. Your video must have one or more of these characteristics so people will want to view it:
- Information
- Educational features
- Entertainment angle
- Controversial subject
- Emotional angle
- Current affairs
It's a good idea to mention one of these aspects in the caption. Fans who read will pick up on the value it has and take the time to view it to the end.
Stick to Squares
Videos can be in square (1:1) or landscape (16:9) format. If you want more views on Facebook stick with square videos. You simply have to change the aspect ratios of your videos.
Currently you can view your Facebook newsfeed on your Smartphone, tablet or computer. In 2018 Smartphones are used much more than any other device.
For videos to obtain more views on Facebook they must offer Smartphone users optimum viewing pleasure. When your video is in landscape format there's a chance it won't present as well as square ones.
The video will be small with screen space wasted at the top or bottom. Alternatively only a part of the video will show on the Smartphone screen.
These problems result in square videos being viewed up to 35% more than landscape ones.
8. Invest in Promotion
Getting views is not simply a popularity contest. Views and shares determine your influence in your community and among clients.
The business this can create is worth a monetary investment. Are you aware of the systems already in place to help you with this?
Use Facebook Boosting as a Strategy
Once again Facebook has all the necessary tools.
At a minimal cost you can promote some of your posts or your entire page. Facebook boosts your posts onto users' news feeds that aren't following you—yet.
You can give guidelines of who should view your posts in terms of:
- Age
- Location
- Interests
- Gender
The moment your posts are seen by more people you're likely to obtain additional views on Facebook.
Purchase Facebook Views
You can buy Facebook Views from companies with the right connections. These companies have communities of Facebook users that are ready to view your videos.
Businesses direct their communities to your profile or page's videos. They won't all view one video. The shares and views will be directed to various URLs found on your playlists. This will give many of your online video postings a boost.
This is the catalysing event that can snowball into hitting high viewing numbers.
Facebook views are valuable. They determine your impact and your status. You can act to increase your views on Facebook. You're not at the mercy of fans and users any longer. Start changing your level of influence today.

Teams return from serving in Uganda through GoServ Global
GoServ Global's first mission team to Uganda just returned last week after building five Safe T Homes that will be used as a home for refugee children who have fled from war-torn South Sudan. So far, 22 children have arrived and now have a safe place to live, enough food to eat, an opportunity to attend school, house mothers who care for them and they are learning about the love of Jesus.
A GoServ Global team of nine worked with local Ugandans to build the homes. The local team will complete the remaining five and then start on another container of 10 Safe T Homes that are en route to Uganda. Once completed, 50 Safe T Homes will complete this camp.
The Safe T Home — engineered by Sukup Manufacturing and distributed to those in need by GoServ Global — is a highly-modified grain bin featuring a heat shield to keep it cool during hot days. GoServ Global has built nearly 300 Safe T Homes in Haiti, 10 in Peru and 10 in Kenya.
In 2016, the Safe T Homes were put to the test as they took a direct hit in Haiti from Hurricane Matthew. One hundred percent of the 200 Safe T Homes withstood the winds with minimal damage, while only 10 percent of traditional homes in the area remained. Up to 60 people rode out the storm in the Safe T Homes.
Founded in 2011 by an Iowa farmer and a missionary in the wake of a devastating earthquake in Haiti, GoServ Global is a nondenominational, faith-based organization that provides essential humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable in communities around the world.
GoServ Global works in Haiti, Peru, India, Guatemala, Uganda and the U.S.
Each Safe T Home costs $5,700 to purchase from Sukup Manufacturing, $1,000 to ship, and $300 for concrete for a total of $7,000 to get the home from Sheffield to Haiti/Uganda, built.

Very interesting to see all those migratory birds together. I like your description of getting closer to the birds without getting too close! It works for migratory shorebirds down here too.ReplyDelete
Loved hearing about these beautiful geese Frank. Great photos too. Thanks for sharing these. CarolReplyDelete
It really is interesting to watch those large flocks of geese -- I've never seen brents, but with snow geese we've noticed how they have the watchers or guards along the perimeters. (I'm glad you were able to get close enough without belly-crawling...that doesn't sound like a whole lot of fun.) Wonderful pictures of a beautiful bird.ReplyDelete
Frank, Great set of images.Have never seen this one before:)ReplyDelete
Love the dark plumage! I've never seen them in person.ReplyDelete
Hi there - what a great set of pictures.ReplyDelete
Geese in winter were always such a treat to go and see.

Faraldo: RMTC Task Force to Study Glaucine
June 24, 2016:
The New York State Gaming Commission has received at least 35 written reports from its own highly regarded testing laboratory regarding positive tests for Glaucine at New York State tracks. Other jurisdictions have reported similar positives. Not only hasn't the Gaming Commission taken any action to call for the return of purse money, much less done anything as required by its regulations; now the Commission has apparently decided that there is some reason to have RMTC conduct "research" on Glaucine. The drug is manufactured, and generally available, outside the United States. This has been done despite the Gaming Commission's research lab coming to its own conclusions; something in the past always deemed more than satisfactory.

Pancha Tattva in the Gaudiya Vaishnava tradition refers specifically to the Five aspects of God or Absolute Truth.
