Businesses might think \"of course everything will be ok and we don't have to ever worry about losing data or I.T. downtime\"… or do they? A survey conducted by CA Technologies found that IT downtime is costing companies $26.5 billion annually across Europe and North America. Perhaps this shows that a lot of companies aren't prepared for losing data and downtime.\nVandalism or theft of property.\nPower outages, hardware failures and network crashes.\nNetwork attacks, malware infections and data breaches.\nUser errors – lost files, accidental deletions, improper shutdowns and data corruption.\nCivil disruptions – disgruntled employees, strikes and legal issues.\nBe prepared – ask your client to think about the potential disasters and risks to their businesses. This could range from user error to viruses downloaded by employees. Clients should assign roles to employees for different parts of the disaster recovery plan, to ensure that everything is covered if the worst happens. For example, who will contact the customers about a loss of data?\nDon't forget that MSPs can really show their expertise (and earn their money!) by advising companies on which applications and services should be restored first, second etc. Advise your clients on which functions are the most valuable to their business and will get them back online quickly.\nMitigation – Internet security software that protects against malware, hackers and network-based attacks will help to protect client networks from a range of threats. MSPs can also deliver solutions that give clients extra piece of mind by making sure the data is backed up locally and at an off-site location.\nAction – Remember the roles we talked about assigning above? This is when clients will need to ensure that anyone assigned to a role acts quickly to troubleshoot any issues if a disaster happens. Also, make your clients aware that they should move data to webmail or DNS servers located offsite, until the original servers are restored.\nGiving your clients this advice and support will help to build their disaster recovery plans and show the value you add to their business as an MSP.\nWant to know more about disaster recovery and data backup?

"One of the many fundamental things to know as a network engineer is the function and port number used by a number of common services as well as many that are typically implemented during the course of a network engineer's career. This article takes a look at these protocols, provides a basic description of their function and lists the port numbers that they are commonly associated with.\nOne of the many fundamental things to know as a network engineer is the function and port number used by a number of common services as well as many that are typically implemented during the course of a network engineer's career. Below, we take a look at these protocols, provides a basic description of their function, and lists the port numbers that they are commonly associated with.\nFTP is one of the most commonly used file transfer protocols on the Internet and within private networks. An FTP server can easily be set up with little networking knowledge and provides the ability to easily relocate files from one system to another. FTP control is handled on TCP port 21 and its data transfer can use TCP port 20 as well as dynamic ports depending on the specific configuration.\nSSH is the primary method used to manage network devices securely at the command level. It is typically used as a secure alternative to Telnet which does not support secure connections.\nTelnet is the primary method used to manage network devices at the command level. Unlike SSH which provides a secure connection, Telnet does not, it simply provides a basic unsecured connection. Many lower level network devices support Telnet and not SSH as it required some additional processing. Caution should be used when connecting to a device using Telnet over a public network as the login credentials will be transmitted in the clear.\nSMTP is used for two primary functions, it is used to transfer mail (email) from source to destination between mail servers and it is used by end users to send email to a mail system.\nThe DNS is used widely on the public internet and on private networks to translate domain names into IP addresses, typically for network routing. DNS is hieratical with main root servers that contain databases that list the managers of high level Top Level Domains (TLD) (such as .com). These different TLD managers then contain information for the second level domains that are typically used by individual users (for example, cisco.com). A DNS server can also be set up within a private network to private naming services between the hosts of the internal network without being part of the global system.\nDHCP is used on networks that do not use static IP address assignment (almost all of them). A DHCP server can be set up by an administrator or engineer with a poll of addresses that are available for assignment. When a client device is turned on it can request an IP address from the local DHCP server, if there is an available address in the pool it can be assigned to the device. This assignment is not permanent and expires at a configurable interval; if an address renewal is not requested and the lease expires the address will be put back into the poll for assignment.\nTFTP offers a method of file transfer without the session establishment requirements that FTP uses. Because TFTP uses UDP instead of TCP it has no way of ensuring the file has been properly transferred, the end device must be able to check the file to ensure proper transfer. TFTP is typically used by devices to upgrade software and firmware; this includes Cisco and other network vendors' equipment.\nHTTP is one of the most commonly used protocols on most networks. HTTP is the main protocol that is used by web browsers and is thus used by any client that uses files located on these servers.\nPOP version 3 is one of the two main protocols used to retrieve mail from a server. POP was designed to be very simple by allowing a client to retrieve the complete contents of a server mailbox and then deleting the contents from the server.\nOne of the most overlooked protocols is NTP. NTP is used to synchronize the devices on the Internet. Even most modern operating systems support NTP as a basis for keeping an accurate clock. The use of NTP is vital on networking systems as it provides an ability to easily interrelate troubles from one device to another as the clocks are precisely accurate.\nNetBIOS itself is not a protocol but is typically used in combination with IP with the NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NBT) protocol. NBT has long been the central protocol used to interconnect Microsoft Windows machines.\nIMAP version3 is the second of the main protocols used to retrieve mail from a server. While POP has wider support, IMAP supports a wider array of remote mailbox operations which can be helpful to users.\nSNMP is used by network administrators as a method of network management. SNMP has a number of different abilities including the ability to monitor, configure and control network devices. SNMP traps can also be configured on network devices to notify a central server when specific actions are occurring. Typically, these are configured to be used when an alerting condition is happening. In this situation, the device will send a trap to network management stating that an event has occurred and that the device should be looked at further for a source to the event.\nBGP version 4 is widely used on the public internet and by Internet Service Providers (ISP) to maintain very large routing tables and traffic processing. BGP is one of the few protocols that have been designed to deal with the astronomically large routing tables that must exist on the public Internet.\nLDAP provides a mechanism of accessing and maintaining distributed directory information. LDAP is based on the ITU-T X.500 standard but has been simplified and altered to work over TCP/IP networks.\nHTTPS is used in conjunction with HTTP to provide the same services but doing it using a secure connection which is provided by either SSL or TLS.\nJust like HTTPS, LDAPS provides the same function as LDAP but over a secure connection which is provided by either SSL or TLS.\nAgain, just like the previous two entries, FTP over TLS/SSL uses the FTP protocol which is then secured using either SSL or TLS.\nWhile it may seem obvious that there are large number of ports that are missing from this list, the purpose here was to just cover the most commonly seen and used protocols. The complete list of assigned ports and their assigned services can be seen at http://www.iana.org/assignments/service-names-port-numbers/service-names-port-numbers.xml. Hopefully the contents of this article will help in determining the correct port number to use when implementing these services." |

"Gerald Schoenfeld Theater\nNew YorkUnited States\nThe Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre is a Broadway theatre, which was previously named the Plymouth Theatre, and is located at 236 West 45th Street (George Abbott Way) in midtown-Manhattan. It was renamed in 2005 in honor of Gerald Schoenfeld. The theatre was designed by architect Herbert J. Krapp, with the intention of resembling the Shubert and Booth theatres nearby, designed by Henry B. Herts. The building was then constructed by the Shubert brothers in 1917-18, christened the Plymouth Theatre, and leased to producer Arthur Hopkins. He intended it to be a venue for legitimate plays starring notable actors such as John and Lionel Barrymore. The premiere production was A Successful Calamity, a comedy with William Gillette and Estelle Winwood.\nAfter Hopkins died in 1948, control of the theatre returned to the Shuberts, who still own the property, which was designated a New York landmark in 1987. The 1,080-seat house was renamed after Gerald Schoenfeld, chairman of the Shubert Organization, in 2005." |

"IOT/Telematics\nInsurtech Start-up funding\nJust short of $2 billion invested in insurtech in Q4 2019\nBy Nathan Golia January 30, 2020, 9:57 a.m. EST 1 Min Read\nVenture investment in the insurtech sector reached an all-time high near $2 billion in the fourth quarter of 2019, according to Willis Towers Watson's Quarterly Insurtech Briefing. It's the sixth straight quarter of more than $1.25 billion invested, dating back to Q3 2018.\n\"If we look at 2019 as a whole, these last 12 months alone have produced 33.9% of total global InsurTech investment recorded to date,\" says Dr. Andrew Johnston, Global Head of Willis Re InsurTech, and editor of the Quarterly Briefing. Yet, he cautions, \"How this all translates to widespread value creation for our industry and consumers of insurance products and services is still largely to be determined.\"\nThe banner year included the introduction of five new \"unicorns,\" or startups with valuations over $1 billion, in insurtech, half of the total; as well as a 90% increase in funding rounds of $40 million or more. At the same time, however, WTW estimates that 184 insurtechs shuttered over the past three years, indicating that winners are being identified from the larger community and the higher investments represent big bets on a few companies.\n\"Upon reflection we might also come to remember 2019 as the year when the foundations were laid for a trend that we are quite likely to observe in the future months: individual InsurTechs coming to the fore to lead specific parts of the market, whether it be in lines of business or uses of particular technology,\" Johnston writes. \"The winners of the InsurTech race are slowly starting to show themselves, and as such, we are at the crossroads of a massive opportunity.\"\nNathan Golia\nEditor-in-Chief, Digital Insurance\nAmFam\nAmerican Family acquires Bold Penguin\nTerms were not disclosed.

"Psycho Killer, Santa's Sleigh, Fa-fa-fa-fa...: Supporting Actor, 1947\nWhat a lineup, this year's Best Supporting Actors, not a dud in the bunch! History is made! Movie debuts honored! And Santa Claus goes home a winner!\nThe skinny on the nominees and their performances, after the jump.\nCharles Bickford as Joseph Clancey\nThe star: Made his film debut in 1929's South Sea Rose. This is his second of three nominations.\nThe film: A farmgirl becomes a housemaid for a political family in the big city. Bickford plays the family's pseudo-butler and close friend.\nThe performance: An understated bit of movie-stealing, with Bickford's dignified majordomo providing our heroine (the farmer's daughter, don'cha know) with a confidant, our hero (Mr. Joseph Cotten) with a father figure, and both with a conscience. There's a comfort in his barbs that speaks of decades of intimacy with this family, affection crossing his eyes and lips as he steers people in the right direction. By movie's end, one is convinced Clancey and Katie should be running the country together.\nThomas Gomez as Pancho\nThe star: Made his film debut in 1942's Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror. This is his first and only nomination. He is the first Latin American actor to be nominated for an Academy Award.\nThe film: A man comes to a New Mexico border town seeking vengeance for his friend's death. Gomez is a local who befriends the man, operating the carousel in which rides that titular pink horse.\nThe performance: Pancho is drunk, he's lazy, he lives on a small rug of land beside his carousel. He is not, shall we say, a progressive Latino character. But he's also a warm man with a bright smile and shining eyes, and Gomez imbues him with enough magnetism that we are devastated when harm comes to him. Unapologetic, and very human.\nEdmund Gwenn as Kris Kringle\nThe star: Made his feature film debut in 1920's Unmarried, by which point he was in his forties and a twenty-plus years veteran of the stage. This is his first of two nominations, and only win.\nThe film: A new department store Santa insists he is the real thing. Gwenn plays that Santa.\nThe performance: A lead role considered supporting due mostly to billing (what is this, the Tonys?), but never mind all that. He comfortably carries himself with a contagious jolliness. He is a very human Santa, though, and his frustrations with the world around him are unexpected and genuine. No matter what happens, it's important that Kris Kringle is convinced that he's the real deal; there's no doubting that in Gwenn's performance.\nRobert Ryan as Montgomery\nThe star: Made his film debut in 1940's The Ghost Breakers. This is his first and only nomination.\nThe film: A Jewish man is murdered and a young soldier is suspected of the crime. Ryan plays a violently anti-Semitic soldier who knows more than he says.\nThe performance: Go-for-broke rottenness, Ryan's anti-Semite is an ugly mirror of American hatred. Disgustingly ingratiating when he's playing the dutiful soldier, there's a poison that seeps through every moment of his performance. And yet I could not accuse Ryan of over-playing the part. It's a perfectly-calibrated portrait of secret violence made manifest.\nRichard Widmark as Tommy Udo\nThe star: Made his film debut...right here! This is it, folks, his first time out, four years after his Broadway debut! Naturally, this is his first nomination; sadly, it's also his only one. Did they not see Pickup on South Street?\nThe film: A con turns police informant. Widmark plays a psycho killer the informant testifies against.\nThe performance: Safe to say Widmark's Tommy Udo is the basis for just about every psychotic villain that's come after. With a high laugh that sounds like gargled nails, a wide grin, and a nasal voice, Widmark gives Johnny a boyish energy that makes his penchant for violence more frightening. He's evil personified, and he loves it.\nI tell ya, Bickford almost took it from him, but once again, I'm siding with the Academy - category fraud be damned! - and giving my vote to...\nTomorrow, a double dose as we look at the nominees for Best Musical Score and Best Original Song: Fiesta, Good News, Mother Wore Tights, My Wild Irish Rose, The Perils of Pauline, Road to Rio, Song of the South, and The Time, the Place and the Girl.\nPosted by Walter L.

"This Article begins by critically examining the history of Japanese racism in relation to Japan's imperial projection of racialized policies and military ventures unleashed by Japanese government and propaganda agencies. We then examine Japanese Americans' successful redress movement in the U.S. and the lessons of this campaign for other victims of racist government policies. Many lawsuits have been filed against the Japanese government to demand both apologies and reparations. The plaintiffs included Ainu people who were stripped of their land and subjected to Japan's forced assimilation policies; Korean victims and families whose members were murdered by Japanese militias during the Great Kanto Earthquake in 1923; Okinawan civilians who were killed or forced to commit suicide during the Battle of Okinawa in 1945; and Burakumins who have been long subjected to both corporate and governmental discrimination, as well as other Asian victims of Japanese imperialism, including families and/or victims of sexual enslavement, forced laborers, among many others. This Article also critically examines the possible dangers associated with giving governments the authority and power to regulate the parameters of hate speech and free speech. Professor Craig Martin's article assumes that the Japanese government should act as a principal organ to regulate and legislate hate speech. This Article argues that the governments in Japan and the U.S. have often acted against the interests of racial and ethnic minorities and that greater public debate and discussion is needed to examine the potential ramifications of government regulation of hate speech that might limit the freedom of speech, especially speech critical of the government. This Article further argues that today's resurgence of racism and racial prejudice against marginalized populations in Japan must be understood within the context of the historical legacy of Japanese governmental policies that propelled racialized nation-building and imperial projects in both Japan and Asia in the late nineteenth century and the early half of the twentieth century. This Article substantiates that the failure to acknowledge the role of Japanese racism and the Japanese government's refusal to accept Japanese war responsibilities may lie at the heart of today's resurgence of racism and hate speeches against Japan's minority populations." |

They also have peel and eat shrimp, homemade bratwurst, Big Elwood on a Stick (marinated tenderloin) and pork kabobs.\nFast Eddie's Bon Air has a storied history that dates back to 1921 when beer giant Anheuser Busch decided to open a drinking establishment in the picturesque river town of Alton, Illinois. A few years later, Busch had to sell the tavern due to a change in the statutes, which prohibited breweries from owning drinking establishments. Sam Balaco, and later his son Lotteo, owned and operated the Bon Air for 50 years. Then in 1981, Eddie Sholar (alias Fast Eddie) purchased Bon Air. Over the past 30 years, Fast Eddie's Bon Air has quadrupled in size going from 80 chairs (and a few beer cases) to over 400 chairs. Over 4,000 half barrels of beer and thousands of cases of cans, bottles and liquor quench the thirst of our patrons every year. The legendary food aspect, serves an assortment of grilled burgers, shish kabobs, bratwurst and boiled shrimp all sold at low prices.\nFast Eddie's has won statewide praise and is a recipient of an \"Enjoy Illinois: Delicious Destination\" award.

We've got only a handful of questions on today so I guess we'll spend extra time answering them, unless you guys want to post more questions so it's a [crosstalk 00:01:02].\nAdam: Good deal. I was about to say, yeah, it's like, we can have one more where we get to dive in more. The last few have been right up to the limit so we're going to do some quick announcements, everybody, but first off if you're new to Semantic Mastery, first of all, thanks for watching. If you're watching this live, that's awesome. If you're catching the replay, that's cool, too. If you're not sure where to go or what the next step is, we generally advise people to go to battleplan.semanticmastery.com, it's a great place to get started and then just keep coming to these Hump Day Hangouts, show up, ask questions.\nIf you can't attend them live, you can always ask questions early.

We wanted to let you guys know that Semantic Mastery is going to be having a small gathering. We're going to be having our first live event in October of this year in the Washington, DC area. That's the factual stuff. We're going to have more details to come but, one, it's going to be awesome and then, two, we want to let people who listen and subscribe to us to have the first chance to know about this.\nLike I said, we're going to have a lot more details coming out with some of the secret guest speakers, what we're going to be covering ourselves and what people can expect to get out of it, but I don't know, that's my spiel for it. I'm excited. I think it's going to be pretty awesome.\nHernan: Yeah, I think so, too, and I'm really looking forward to it because the experiences that we have had at live events have been amazing. Meeting, getting to know new people and getting to know a lot of Mastermind members that we have come together in live events. We have been thinking of doing this for quite a while and now, we have decided to go ahead and do it.\nI think that we're going to have some more information for you guys soon in terms of the actual speakers, as Adam was saying. We're still finding the venue and a bunch of other things, but initially, if you want to get a really, really super specific, super special early bird discount, go ahead and contact [email protected].

We know it takes some planning to attend these events, but we mean it. If you take advantage of this, like this week that we're announcing it, we're going to give you a special, very, very, truly special never seen again discount, if you're willing to grab it and go so looking forward to that. It's going to be a small group, we're capping this …\nBradley: It's only going to be 25 slots.\nAdam: No, yeah, so we're capping it at 25. I think live event, in my mind, that I may be the only one so maybe that's my bias, but I think lots of laser shows and big stuff and huge crowds. It's more, almost like a Mastermind type of get together. It's 25 people. It's enough people there. You're going to have a lot of viewpoints. We're going to have seven or eight speakers and there's enough though, you can break down into small groups and you can still stay in touch with everyone and do a lot of networking and get a lot of good idea generation going.\nBradley: Yeah, and it's not going to be super expensive either, guys, 'cause this is our first live event, so we're going to keep it smaller. It'd be a ton of content and also the networking is really where the true value comes from anyways, but we're going to keep it small and affordable, 'cause we want to … We kind of want to test this for ourselves for the first time as well and we're going to have some VIP stuff for potentially, a VIP upgrade which will be really cool.\nI went to an event last year, the SEO Rock Stars event that was really good and went to a … I guess they host like a VIP event the day before the actual training and normal meet up days. It was fabulous and it was really good just to network with those other people that also upgraded to the VIP tickets and talk and just develop those business relationships. That's really where the true value comes from these type of events, so we hope that some of you will come join us.\nAdam: Definitely, good deal.\nA couple other quick announcements on the tails of that, that's the big one. Check it out. If you're interested, please send us a support ticket. We're pumped to have people. We've met a few people at small gatherings we've done. The last one in Portland and it's just amazing to meet people, to be able to help out and then just that idea generation that you just don't get unless you're in person.\nAnyways, July 4th, we're going to have some cool specials. We're working on an awesome bundle for people. We'll be coming out with that. It's going to put together some of our best training, some of our … I can't even say enough to like, ah. Anyways, stay tuned, it's going to be really good. Then we're working on the Done For You services. We got some additional Done For You services coming out around …\nHave we already said what it's based around? I don't want to give away too much here.\nBradley: The GMB Pro Training.\nAdam: Yeah, yeah, we got some stuff coming out with that. We're working on that, you guys, and as soon as we have a date, we'll be sharing that information. If you haven't yet, check out Local GMB Pro, this is already changing how a lot of people are offering some services to their clients and it's … Bradley, I'll let you … I see you nodding your head, so you know what I'm talking about.\nBradley: Yeah, we just had a post in the Facebook group. I don't know if it was this morning or maybe last night but somebody was like, \"I just started applying this method to one of my …\" I don't know if it's a Lead Gen or a client guy or it's a client of theirs or what but he was like, \"You can call me,\" and said, \"Son, you're going to have to slow these calls down.\" That's a really good problem to have, man. When you get called by your clients that you serve and they're saying, \"Hey, you're going to have to slow this shit down, I can't handle the calls,\" that's a good problem to have.\nAdam: Definitely.\nChris: That's like, it's actually like one of the most common complaints that are quite recurring on Local GMB Pro members.\nChris: Too many calls.\nAdam: Which we're not making this up, you guys. Seriously, this sounds like one of those like, \"Well, my client just pissed off too many calls…\" Legitimately, people are like, \"Yeah, we need to figure out, can you help me with … We need to hire someone to deal with calls.\" It's crazy, we've actually had people saying that, so …\nBradley: That's crazy.\nAdam: Yeah, no BS.\nMarco: I'm glad that there's actually people backing up what I've been saying about the attorney that I've been doing … in New York, where she has had to hire two people to take the phone calls and a third one part-time. I mean that's the volume of calls that she's getting. She actually told me, \"Look, we need to find a way to cut this down. We need …\" I said, \"No, hire more people.\" You don't slow the calls down, you hire more people and make more money.\nAdam: Yup, awesome, which I don't know … This is good. This wasn't a question but, man, if that's a service you can offer on top of this. The people who are doing this and using the Local GMB Pro methods, if you've got the processes in place or not, and you should, to help somebody grow their business like that, hey, I can show you how to deal with these calls. I can provide the Done For You service to deal with these calls. I can do a script.\nThere are so many additional things you can do and it's not just upselling. It's providing a lot of value to your clients and they may actually be worried, like, \"God, what do I do?\" Marco was saying, \"How do I deal with … How do I lower calls?\" No, don't do that. Here's how you deal with all these calls and turn it into more revenue for your business.\nMarco: That's right, you have to …\nAdam: Lots of opportunities.\nMarco: You act as a business consultant and not just a marketing person.\nAdam: Yeah, and then talk about a trusted adviser role, I mean that's golden.\nMarco: Yeah.\nAdam: In so many ways and not just to get … It's not all about the money. It's easier to work with clients, anyways, win-win.\nAll right, before we jump into … Any more announcements from anybody or are we ready to get rolling?\nMarco: No, just a couple, just a couple. We can get Real Youtube views to your videos. That will be rolling out very shortly, as soon as we have ordering ready, the ordering platform and the different tiers, the different number of views that they can order. We have that ready and the GMB Pro, the Auto posting service, that's ready to go, but that's going to be rolled … It's likely that both services will be rolled out to our Mastermind members and the Local GMB Pro members first.\nWe'll offer them special pricing just because we always take care of our membership. We always say, \"Membership has its privileges,\" and we like to show our members love by just giving them, just special ways to order to lower their cost so that they can pass it on to their clients or, again, as I was saying, just make more money, just figure out ways that you can make more money with all of the ways that we find to give you things at a lower cost.\nThose two are coming. Guys, be on the lookout. If you're already in Local GMB Pro or in our Mastermind, then you will be contacted first. If you're not in those groups, I'm still wondering, why the fuck you're not in. I'll leave it at that.\nBradley: All right, that's good.\nAdam: Well said.\nBradley: Sorry, guys, I was peeking at my email while I was waiting. Are we good on … Can we go ahead and get in questions?\nAdam: Yeah, let's do this.\nMarco: Yup.\nBradley: Yeah, guys, it's funny, 'cause I just started testing our new Youtube Views platform today actually. I haven't had time 'cause I've been dealing with developing content and so I'm actually anxious to see how good it's doing. We've got a lot of the beta testers that are coming back with just crazy results for the Youtube stuff, too, which is great because it just makes it so much easier.\nI mean I've been using Youtube ads to drive traffic to … for local videos, to help local videos rank for, well, probably over a year now, but this makes it easier because it's just a real quick easy interface to go in and set up the campaign. It just makes it super simple and it's a lot less time than it takes to set up a Youtube ad. I'm anxious to see how well this works and, again, we've got a lot of people that have already been talking about how good it's been working for them so I'm super excited to see how well that works.\nFirst question up, David Kennedy. He says, \"I received an email for a Facebook Group for webinar Local GMB Pro but when I clicked the link to join for the webinar, the error I get says, 'Content not available.'\"\nOkay, David, first of all, for these types of stuff, just use support, please. That's what support is for, [email protected] Again, [email protected], just submit a support ticket. We'll make sure we get you sorted.\nNext, the webinar's not going to be … The link for the webinar's not available yet. We don't give that out until like right before the webinar and there's a reason for that, but again, just contact support. We'll get you set up, okay.\nHow Do You Make Use Of A Driving Directions Map For SEO?\nMike is next. He says, \"How do you actually use Driving Directions Map for SEO?\" There are ways to … It's just to add local relevancy, right. I mean think about it. If typically for a point of sale business, which is a storefront business, a business where customers come to the business location, then it would make sense if you were trying to rank in the local maps back to three pack four like very close in proximity areas or locations. Like adjacent towns, for example, then let's say you're the only … You have a business that's the only business in three or four towns, in surrounding towns.\nEven if it's not the only business, if you want to try to get your listing, your maps listing to rank when somebody's searching for like an adjacent town, so whatever your keyword, service keyword is plus the location modifier and it's an adjacent town. One of the ways that you can try to get ranked in there is to have, add that local relevancy from that area to the location where you're physically located. In that case, the driving directions map would be good to create posts or pages on the site or just content that talks about the area that you want to rank in with a driving direction from there to your store location, right.\nBecause, again, it's just about, it's Google code. Google's going to come read the page and it's going to see driving directions map. It's going to see content on the page about that particular location, right, the location that you'd like to rank in and then it's going to see a driving directions map from that location to your business address, right. There's a reason, it's just a way to feed additional relevancy into Google is to like … Location relevancy, excuse me.\nNow the opposite would be for service area businesses, right. For service area businesses, you'd go from the bus- Like the business goes to the customer location and that's typically how most of my projects are set up because I deal with contractors primarily. On those, even if you have the physical location hidden, you would still just go grab the city center and do driving directions from the city center where the business is physically located. The driving direction would be from that location to the customer locations which would be just city centers of the locations that you'd like to rank in.\nThat's pretty much the easy over level or, excuse me, high-level overview of how you can use it. Now, there's a lot more that can be done than just that, but we can't certainly get into all of that and here on Hump Day Hangouts but that's a good question. Again, for driving directions, driving directions are really just a great way to add additional location relevancy to pages and/or posts, okay.\nMarco: It's something that we get into … and I did a webinar, a separate webinar just to show people how to take advantage of driving directions and that's in RYS Reloaded. It's one of the webinars where we cover this on how to use it for SEO.\nHow Do You Choose Between Simple And Complex Silo Structure?\nOkay, Sam Bailey's up. He says, \"In a video, you once said that simple silo structure would be sufficient for most sites. What determines whether you opt for simple silo structure versus complex? Thanks as always.\"\nHey, Sam, how are you doing? By the way, we met Sam in Portland. He said … As far as simple silo structure, I always recommend using that, if possible, because complex silo structure, I mean just as the name implies, it can be very complex. If you're using just the virtual silo method as opposed to a visible silo method, which means you're leaving your permalink structure to just post name inside of WordPress instead of category/post name then you can get away with using complex silo structure without it is quite as difficult to reconcile like some funky URL things that happen with complex silos.\nHowever, again, for most local sites that I deal with because of I … If you guys are aware, I typically do very hyperlocal sites, like on subdomains to where that site, the whole site is optimized for pretty much one city, right, one area. Then if I want to expand into another area or if the contractor covers another area then we build another location base site for that additional area or each additional area, if that makes sense. We don't have to really worry about having a complex silo structure.\nA complex silo structure would be the type of site that I would build if I was building a site that covers a large geographic area or if it covered a … and guys, I'm speaking in local business terms, right. A complex silo would … I would apply a complex silo to a website if it covered a large service area or if it had a lot of different products and/or services, right, or a combination of both, okay.\nFor most sites, because like I said, I try to keep them hyper-local, focused on for just one particular area, there's no need for that. I recommend doing a simple sized structure, just 'cause it's easier to build. There's less stuff. There's less internal linking that needs to be done. You can still, again, for a lot of local sites, you don't need that kind of stuff. You don't need a site to be that complicated, okay.\nNow, again, there are times where that's going to be necessary and some clients don't want a bunch of separate maps listings and subdomain sites and things like that or maybe the site's already been built out and they've got different locations but they're based on pages and things like that. Those are times that maybe a complex silo would be better.\nAgain, I just recommend, if you can get away with just using simple silo, do that, because it's easier to set up, it's easier to maintain, it's easier to understand. Complex silo structure, though, if it's necessary, then you absolutely can use that. I'm not saying don't do it. I'm just saying, just keep in mind that it does require a bit more planning to properly design the site, okay, and like stacking keywords and creating your silos with the hierarchies. Remember, with the complex silo structure, you've got top-level categories and then sub-categories and then posts.\nYou're going three levels deep within a silo and a top-level silo and in subcategories, you can add as many sub categories as you want so that's what you call width to a silo, right. Depth would be adding additional content and any particular subcategory, so continuing to boost, add relevant content in any one category or subcategory, that's what you would call adding depth to the site. Adding width would be adding additional silos or additional sub-categories in one silo.\nAnyways, again, that's why I said it can … As you can tell, even the explanation can become complicated so go back through, Sam, and look at the two videos that I did several years ago. I recorded several videos about simple silo structure and complex silo structure. You can find them on our Youtube channel and then just determine what you think is going to be best for your specific situation based upon what you learn from those videos, okay.\nHow Do You Correct NAP/Citation On A Local WordPress Website If You Have A GMB Listing?\nNext, Peter from Poland. He says, \"What is the best way to have the correct NAP citation on a local WordPress website and all other sites if I had a GMB listing?\"\nIf you have the GMB listing, just … He says, \"Do I just copy and paste the text directly from the GMB listing exactly and paste it in my WordPress site?\" Okay, Peter from Poland, if you're doing stuff in the US, then I recommend going to the USPS.com, which is the United States Postal Service.com and go over here to look up a ZIP code and then you go find by address or cities … Yeah, I think it's found by address and then you put in the actual address of your, the GMB listing. Just copy it, street address, paste it in, city, state, ZIP code, postal code, paste it in and then click Find.\nWhat happens is it's going to show you the standardized formatting, the correct formatting based upon the USPS standardization, address standardization, right. That should be the way that you should have it listed in Google My Business. At least, that's the way I do it, guys. I'm sure there's going to be some other people out there that say they do it differently, but that's how I've always done it. I learned this trick many years ago, I think from Ivan Budameer and I've been doing it this way ever since, okay.\nA lot of times, even if I take over a client like if I've got a client that had an existing GMB, but they had displayed incorrectly or they post … They added their … They didn't have the correct standardized address format, I'll go in and update it in Google My Business. Then I'll even do, sometimes … It's not sometimes … I'll do a citation clean up a campaign to go have all the existing citations on the web updated to the correct standardized format. It's only because that's the way that the addresses are supposed to be listed.\nI would recommend, first making sure you have the standardized address format, then I would go in and update the GMB. If it's not correct, I would update it in GMB and then I would … Your Google My Business Profile and then I would go and start a post, using that exact same format for all of your citations. If you have existing citations that are incorrect, I would recommend that you update those before building new citations. That's always the better thing to do, instead of diluting bad data, fix the bad data, right.\nThen as far as your website, really, the only thing you need to do on your website if it's a service area business where the … and I just talked about this … where the business goes to the customers, there's really no reason for you to display the address on your website. You can still post it using structured data, right, so that would be going to the HTML header of the site, if you're using JSON-LD, structured data mark up and we've got a structured data generator in Serve Space if you want to use that to generate the code that goes in the HTML header.\nIf you do have a point of sale business or a storefront then you could take … You could still add the JSON-LD, local business markup which I highly recommend that you do, regardless of what type of business you have. Then you could also just use a little footer widget or sidebar widget where it lists your name, address, and phone number as well. Right there, that can just be flat out plain text, it doesn't have to be formatted any particular way, because all the correct …\nThe location relevancy is in the JSON-LD and the header of the site. Google's going to come read that via the code and it will be fine. It doesn't need to be displayed on your site unless, like I said, you have a storefront and you want your customers to be able to see it. In which case, you just put it in the sidebar, the widget, or on the contact page or whatever. Also, I would recommend that you would then also take your map, your GMB map and get the embed code for that and embed that into your sidebar or footer of your website as well, so you have your actual GMB map embedded on your site, too. Okay?\nGood question, though.\nHow Important Is Data Consistency In Terms Of Ranking To Google Maps?\nAny tips about not having to correct NAP or no NAP on a website can have an effect?\nYeah, if it's incorrect. Incorrect data will kill maps ranking, guys. Inconsistent data, right. Actually, if it's incorrect, but it's consistently incorrect everywhere, you'll rank better than just having … than having correct but inconsistent data. Does that make sense?\nLet me repeat that. If you have incorrect data but it's consistently incorrect everywhere it's published on the web, you'll rank better in maps than if you have correct data but it's inconsistent on the web. Figure that on out, but it's true. Again, data consistency is absolutely paramount to ranking in maps. Okay.\nIs there a plugin that helps? I wouldn't recommend any. I just add the JSON-LD code manually to your header. You can do that via WordPress. You can do, use plugins to inject it in your site header. You can edit the theme file in that, add it there. You can also use Google Tag Manager, which is my preferred method and there's training for Google Tag Manager if you go to measureschool.com. Julian has some free Google Tag Manager training on his site there. It's really, really good. It's the same training I went through to learn how to use Google Tag Manager. That's measureschool.com.\nAny comments on that, guys?\nMarco: Nope, that was perfect.\nBradley: All right.\nWhy Is It Important To Optimize Images If One Can't See The Result?\nIvan Lech. What's up, buddy? He says, \"Hey, guys, question about photos. I optimize an image with title tags, subscription geo tag on my computer and saved it, then added it to my GMB photo album. When I looked at the details of the picture, my GMB dashboard, I don't see optimization that I put in my image. All I see is the size of the image, so I go to search Google for my map listing, go to photos, and click that optimized image, there are no details. My question is why is important to take the time to optimize images if I can't see the results? Thanks.\"\nIt's a good question, Ivan.\nNow I know for the longest time, I've always been told that when you optimize the images and add metadata and you upload them, Google reads that data. They may strip it out before it's published in their index, but they read that data as it was being uploaded, right. That's where, that's why it makes a difference and I've tested this in the past, both with images but more so with MP4, with video files, when uploading to Youtube.\nI take this … and I mean I've literally set up tests for this and where I've take … 'Cause you can, by the way, you can optimize an MP4 video, guys, the metadata, just like you can an image. You can add geo data and comments and copyright URLs and things like that, NAP data and all that stuff. You can add metadata to an MP4, right. I've taken the same video, basically, the same file and optimized for the same term and used two different channels that were both brand new and have one … and I've done this on more than one occasion. It's been a few years since I've tested this but when I did test it, it absolutely made a difference.\nYou optimize one of the MP4 files with the metadata, excuse me, optimize the metadata and then the other I just left blank, no optimization, uploaded those two and guess which one outranked every time? It was always the one that had the optimized metadata. Again, it's been years since I've conducted that specific test, probably, shit, four years now at least, but I've always assumed that that's still the case.\nNow, Marco, you could probably shed some light into this, right?\nMarco: Yeah, it's one of the things that we'll be covering on Monday's webinar and Ivan is in Local GMB Pro.\nBradley: Perfect.\nMarco: I just let him in the group today, I think it was and so anything regarding this images, how to manipulate them, why, we'll cover that on the webinar very thoroughly. See you on Monday, Ivan. We'll answer you then.\nBradley: That's awesome. I mean it's a great question, Ivan, but there is a reason for optimizing the images, guys, with the metadata. Because even if it's stripped out, like for example, with my MP4 example that I was just talking about, you upload it to Youtube but then you don't see that metadata anywhere else, right. I mean it's not like you can go view page source and then see the data that you added to the file before you upload it to Youtube.\nHowever, like I said, several years ago, when I did this test on multiple occasions, every time, it outranked the video that wasn't optimized with the metadata, all things being equal, right? It's difficult to get all things to be equal but I tried to keep it as equal as possible, other than the metadata and every single time, it outranked. Okay.\nThere's also, like a lot of the other things … and I know that I'm talking about videos now but like something else I haven't tested in years that used to work like crazy and Hernan was telling me about a little hack he saw the other day with Youtube, about being able to upload the transcriptions or for the captions and such. What was the hack you were telling me about the other day?\nHernan: You know that you have those captions, that are automatically generated by Youtube, right, that they are automatically … so that's why it's advisable to actually spell out your keyword a couple of times because Youtube will automatically detect the speech, right. It will have speech recognition so it will go and then create captions, like subtitles out of that. That's one thing and that's automatically created by Youtube, but here's the thing, we are, every week, we're transcribing the episodes from the Hangouts.\nEvery week, if you go through our website, you will see the transcriptions and that's how we add, we also add timestamps to all of the videos, so they really optimize it. Now, here's the thing, if you upload a video and you're transcribing it, like using something like Rev.com, for example, you can upload that chunk of text, that transcription into Youtube, in the caption section, and there's an option that says, I think it's \"Paste and Sync,\" or something like that. What it would do is that you paste those … I don't know … 10,000, 12,000, 9,000 words and Youtube automatically will sync that text-\nHernan: To, yeah, to the audio that's happening. At the end of the day, you're adding captions without having to add captions but they're not the automatically generated captions on Youtube. Does that make sense? They have more SEO value because they're generated by the user, but, yeah, it's crazy. It will automatically sync all of that chuck of text that you're adding with paragraphs and everything, it will automatically sync to the audio that's on the video so you have subtitles. That's what I'm saying.\nBradley: That's awesome.\nHernan: Yeah, Google can read the keywords and whatnot so that adds a lot of more weight and we're doing that on every video from now on. Every time the Hangout …\nBradley: Yeah and see that … Years ago, that was one of the things around the same time I was doing a lot of the metadata testing, that was something I tested a lot, too, was at the time, there was no ability to auto sync … That didn't exist, that technology at that time, but there was the ability to upload captions files.\nI would spam that, like in other words, I would just add keywords and like calls to action and stuff like that as caption files …\nHernan: Right.\nBradley: Then upload it and that absolutely helped rank the videos, too.\nBradley: It was like one of those tricks up the sleeves that we would do. yeah, the fact that if you transcribe a video anyways or even like what we do and then you can add that as an actual transcribed caption file and it auto syncs, that's got to be much more valuable …\nBradley: Than letting the auto-captions.\nHernan: Yeah, the auto-captions, and then if you think about the auto-captions are not always correct.\nBradley: Right.\nHernan: The transcription is like … I would say if the caption are like … They're really good, like they're good. They will be 75% correct. The transcription would be 95% correct, because also the people on Rev.com or whatever service you're using, they will make mistakes even for … With technical language and whatnot, but it will be like way …\nBradley: Way better.\nHernan: It will be, yeah, way better. Like way more accurate and then you can still add a lot of key words, because, again, we keep on saying that if you actually spell out and if you're actually saying the key word on your video, it will increase the ranking power that video has for that specific key word.\nBradley: Yup, very cool.\nWhat Is The Easy Way To See If Your Site Is Gaining Proper Traffic?\nNigel's up. What's up, Nigel? He says, \"Good day, gents, can you review how to properly check to see if you are gaining proper traffic? I've heard numerous ways of ranking factors … Numerous ways and ranking factors,\" excuse me, \"But can you talk through quick and easy check so I don't waste time going down a rabbit hole? Thanks.\"\nSee, to check to see if you're gaining proper traffic, the only thing I would say there would be like analytics. Check Google Insights, call volume, those are like … I mean and web form submits, if that's what you're doing, right. If it's contact forms and things like that. Those would be indications that you're properly gaining traffic or gaining proper traffic, I should say. If you're getting traffic that's converting into leads and/or sales, whatever your conversion goals are, then I would say, that's how you know that you're gaining proper traffic.\nAs far as how can you get better search results, there are shit ton of ranking factors so you've got to pick your poison. We always try to focus on what's going to move the needle the most with the least amount of effort, right. I mean, 'cause there … I mean, for example, there's CORA. CORA's a great software by Ted Kubaitis, Kubaitis … I can't … I'm sorry if I'm screwing up his last name. Smart guy, dude's super sharp and he built this software called CORA that does like it will search, it will scan all top 100 results in Google and document everything about the websites into this great, this one Excel spreadsheet that's got like a 100 websites worth of data.\nLike great, like there's … I don't know. What is it? 350 data points or something that it … or is it more? It's probably like 500 data points now that this … He pools back on the top 100 sites. It's crazy. It's this massive amount of data but what it does is it gives you the ability … The law of corre … It uses correlations to determine how all those top 100 sites are, what all their ranking factors are and, again, it's something silly like 500 data points.\nThink about if you had to go in and tune all that, but because that could be overwhelming, he specifically programmed into the CORA reports, the things that have the biggest correlation, the biggest … The most common correlating factors for that particular search phrase. It basically highlights the things that are the most important or that seem to have the most significant impact on ranking for that particular search term.\nThose would be the things that you would start with first, right, 'cause those have the greatest chance of moving the needle the most, if that makes sense, okay. Again, it just really depends and as a Mastermind member, Nigel, and as many … Being a member of many of our products, that's what we try to teach is the stuff that's going to move the needle the most with the least amount of effort. Stick to what we're sharing with you and we're teaching you and you should be fine.\nI mean, again, you can go down any rabbit hole you want, that's kind of what Marco and Rob do is go down these rabbit holes and then get stuck down there for months at a time, but then they come out with stuff like Local GMB Pro and RYS Academy. That can be you if you want it to be or you can just apply what you're learning and keep focusing on the big stuff. Let us do the testing. You just go out and produce the results for your clients.\nYou want to comment on that, Marco?\nMarco: Yeah, the only thing that I would add to the Search Console in clicks. If you keep an eye on the clicks in Search Console, like right now, or earlier today, I was looking at one where the guy has nearly 100 top 10s and his click-through rate sucks. I mean it's horrible. It was at 01.3 and how can you be, have nearly a 100 top 10s and multiple number one's with great impressions and you're clicks suck. I mean a 103 and no clicks. How do you fix that?\nYou have to work on your copies, right, on your titles and descriptions. The meta, title meta description, 'cause that's the only way that you can fix that, that you can get people to click when it gets an impression. If you don't work on that, then those clicks are or those impressions are useless to you, 'cause you're not getting the clicks. If you increase the clicks, then automatically your traffic will increase, then your own page takes over because they have to be delivered to the proper page so that they convert.\nThat's what I would add to everything that you said.\nBradley: Yup, and Nigel, as being part of the Mastermind, we did a webinar with Ted a long … It was sometime last year, I believe, about CORA. It might be something you want to check out, if you're interested in that kind of stuff, because again, what's cool about it is you can subscribe for a month and run all the reports for all the sites that you manage and then cancel your subscription. Because it is rather expensive, but it's … Ted is totally cool.\nI mean he even said it on the webinar. He's like, \"I get it. It's expensive, so subscribe for a month, run all your reports, cancel your subscription. Do all your tuning based upon the reports and when you're ready to run reports again, subscribe again. Run all your reports again.\" He was real cool about that. I wouldn't say that unless he did, unless he did. Anyways, you might want to check that out. If you have trouble locating it in the Mastermind members area, just reach out in the Facebook group and one of us will locate it for you and ping you in the group with the replay.\nHow Do You Properly Embed Images And Videos In Twitter?\n\"Can you discuss a consistent way to post platforms to Twitter, so I get images, videos to embed properly, large size? I've done it but it kind of happenstance I have found that if I go from Google Plus to Twitter manually, using naked URL, I get a large image but I re-Tweet, using short and link, only get URL. LinkedIn on short links gets a smaller version.\"\nI can't tell you a damn thing about Twitter. Can anybody on here tell him anything about Twitter?\nMarco: No, not regarding that.\nHernan: Yeah, not regarding that, unfortunately. I honestly don't know why he's getting that. He's shortening, so he's shortening that and he is getting the small image, right, and then I think … I don't know because YOST used to have that option that will show either the big or the small image. I don't even think that's relevant anymore, that's why they took it out. You know what I'm saying?\nAdam: Yeah.\nBradley: Yeah, unfortunately, I'm just not a Twitter user and I really have no desire to use Twitter either. I know there's some real SEO value, guys, and possibly traffic and all that. I just never got into Twitter, don't care. Anyways, sorry, Nigel.\nHow Do You Properly Embed Images And Videos In GMB?\nThe last thing is also, \"What about GMB? Any method for us manual posters?\" Yeah, Nigel, stop manually posting. Our GMB poster is ready for Mastermind members at Local GMB Pro members. We're going to be giving you guys a special offer on that here. When's it available? Is it available now? Marco?\nMarco: It's available right now. I think they've gotten into our Slack Chat.\nBradley: It's available now.\nMarco: Yes, it's available.\nBradley: Yeah, can you post that in the Mastermind community, too?\nMarco: I will. I'm going to drop both in the Local GMB Pro and the Mastermind.\nBradley: Okay, so Nigel, yeah, stop posting manually. It's dirt cheap, man. Use the scheduled post, the GMB poster so you can schedule a post, you can do it in bulk, all that stuff. It's going to make your life a lot easier. It's worth it for … It's not expensive at all. We'll save you a shit ton of time. It's worth it. Your time's worth more than it'll cost you to pay for this, which will make you much more efficient, right. Your time is worth more than that, so …\nAll right. Yeah, guys, stop doing $5 an hour work. Think about it, guys, you should be doing $100 an hour work, instead of $5 an hour work. Manually posting in GMB is $5 an hour work. How do I know that? Because I've got VAs that I pay to do it. $5 an hour or excuse me, $5 per post. Actually, for $5 per post, you can make a shit ton of money doing GMB posts or you can make a shit ton of money in an hour. The reason I say that is because my … The VA that I trained how to do that, she's been blogging or curating for me for several years now and when I hired her and trained …\nI didn't … She was already hired but when I trained her to do the GMB posts, the way that I taught how to do them and I told her I was going to pay her $5 per post, she basically said … She's like, \"Just keep them coming, but like I don't want to do regular curated posts anymore.\" Why would she want to spend 30 minutes curating a post for $15 bucks when she could do 10 Google My Business posts and make $50 in that same 30 minutes. You know what I mean?\nThink about that guys. There's no reason why you should be doing this kind of stuff when you can pay somebody to do it.\nHernan: Yeah, and also have in mind that if you could be actually closing a new client or talking with a client and that will bring you a 100, 200, 500 bucks an hour, and if you're doing $5 an hour task, you're not saving $5. You're actually losing $495, right …\nHernan: For each hour that you're doing that. It's not that you're saving money, you're not saving those $5 an hour. You're actually losing all of the opportunity cost that you are not taking action on, so have that in mind.\nBradley: That's right. Opportunity cost, there you go.\nHow Do You Optimize A Local Italian Deli In A Little Town In The UK?\nAll right, next, Ramola says, \"I just started with a local Italian deli in a little town in the UK. What's your advice as to what my best move is, bearing in mind that this is a very local business at the moment?\"\nI would say Local GMB Pro is probably your best bet at the moment right now. If you're just getting started and that's out of your price point or whatever, I would say, like, honestly, the best thing that we could suggest that you would do would be to start posting in the Google My Business dashboard regularly. That's going to help to start getting activity and getting some leads coming in for that business and then at which point, you can start developing or adding more traditional stuff that we would recommend.\nLike working on ranking and maps, building citations, doing an RYS drive stack, right. Press releases, syndication networks, setting up the WordPress site, or whatever, whatever their money side is in a blog with a syndication network to help validate the entity, all this stuff that we teach.\nJust starting out new right now, guys, I'm telling you the best thing that you can possibly do for local businesses, right now, especially as you're learning all the stuff that you need to learn as a digital marketing consultant, would be to just get active in the GMB dashboard, for your client, right. Make sure there's activity in there and that's going to start to generate some exposure for that business while you're learning all the … or setting up all the other stuff that needs to be done, which I still recommend you do, guys.\nI'm not telling you just stop at GMB stuff. I'm saying start with that because that's going to get you the quickest results while you are developing out the rest of the assets for the business.\nOkay, would anybody have anything different to say about that.\nHernan: No, I totally …\nMarco: No, not different. Go ahead.\nHernan: Yeah, sorry. Go ahead, Marco.\nMarco: Okay, the only thing that I would add to that is that Local GMB Pro doesn't require any SEO knowledge.\nBradley: That's right.\nMarco: It was specifically formulated in a way and set up in a way that all you have to do is the step by step method. It doesn't matter if you know how to silo or … Everything is shown, how it's done. This is what you need to do, not, \"Okay, so this is a silo. It's a simple silo. It's a complex silo.\" That doesn't matter. The image, you're taught what to do with images, how to do the posts, what to do with the post, what to do with posting images, what to do with the business site. It's just, it's a step by step. You don't need to … Absolutely no SEO knowledge to start getting results.\nBradley: That's right and there are … Don't get me wrong or don't get it wrong, guys, we do … I'm doing a lot of the … Well, most of the training inside the course right now for the case study. Marco and Rob are going to be doing the webinars and so there is SEO training in there but it's not an SEO course, so it's like limited. It's just basically like how we can use some SEO tactics to improve what we're doing inside of GMB but it's not an SEO course, if that makes sense. 'Cause it doesn't need to be.\nCertainly, we can apply some SEO methods, right, to get better results and so that's some of the stuff that I started sharing inside of there already and I've got … Marco and Rob have been doing some tests and I'm doing some testing on my own and so we're just going to keep adding to the course. Highly recommend you get in there Ramola.\nWhat Are Your Thoughts On The Efficacy Of IFTTT Syndication in 2018?\nAll right, \"'Cause I know I do video. Do the video about IFTT and spam entry points still effective and what's your nugget … about IFTT's indication? Still effective nowadays, considered as duplicate content or not?\"\nNo, it's not. That's a common question that's actually come up again recently a lot and I don't see it as being duplicate content because, remember, if you're only using a branded syndication network for blog syndication. It's a branded syndication network. All you're doing is republishing your content on your branded social media web 2.0 platforms. That is perfectly normal and legit.\nEvery major blog out there, website, author, writer, contributor does the same thing, right. They publish an article and then they go share it across their social media channels, whether it's a brand or an author or a celebrity or an influencer. That's what they do, so why is what we teach or what we do with syndication networks for local businesses any different? How is that any different? It's not. It's absolutely what Google expects now, right. It's not a duplicate content issue.\nLenoy, I'm not picking on you. That question comes up often, so please don't take that as me being short with you at all. Just think about it logically, why would it be duplicate content? Now, if you start stacking multiple syndication networks, persona based networks, non-branded stuff, that you're syndicating the same content to over and over and over again, that's not a duplicate content issue, but it is an issue. It's a footprint issue. There's a difference, guys.\nBradley: Okay, duplicate content only exists when it's duplicate content on the same domain. It doesn't exist on separate domains, okay. There's a footprint issues, yes, but not duplicate content issues.\nSorry, Hernan, were you going to add to that?\nHernan: Yeah, no, no, yeah, I totally agree with you, Bradley, and the reality is that you need to treat your tier one networks and … Your tier one, like your branded network as part of your entity, as part of your brand, meaning that you want people to go ahead and convert on those networks if they can … or those profiles if they can take action, but then, you can use those profiles to actually build links. That will be your SEO firewall, as Bradley says, will be as your firewall, and, yeah, it's still super effective and we use attribution links, press releases.\nThose websites get only … If we think about duplicate content, those websites get a 100% duplicate content …\nHernan: Nonetheless, they are big publications, big outlets, Fox News, CNN, all this and that, they're ranking in Google and they are 100% base because you cannot change a comma out of a press release, right. If you think about it, you think it logically, they are all linking back to the source and that's why Google doesn't penalize them because you're not actually stealing content.\nThe main problem with duplicate content, it's stealing and that's not what we're doing here.\nBradley: Right, and so I'm just going to demonstrate this here, because, again, that's press releases are so incredibly effective for ranking local stuff now. It's ridiculous. That's what our whole course, Local PR Pro is about, which works hand in hand with Local GMB Pro, by the way, guys.\nI mean it's like a per match made in heaven those two. Anyways-\nHernan: Yeah, in fact, we might end up going out there and making a bundle. I don't know. That could actually be a good idea.\nBradley: Oh, yeah, yeah. Sounds like, might be a good idea for a holiday promo or something.\nHernan: Oh, yeah. Who knows?\nBradley: If you see for … and like Hernan just said, this was a PR that's being … That was published for the case study that I'm working on for Local GMB Pro and I published this May 22nd and if I click this, you'll see that it's showing about 99 results. That's 99 versions of the exact … or 99 copies of the exact same article, okay. Is that duplicate content? No, we already know, we've proven for a fact, a 100% certain that we can rank stuff with just using press releases and no other link sources.\nI've done it many, many, many times. Again, the Local PR Pro course was entirely built around this principle and it's nothing but duplicate content. You produce one press release. It gets picked up and published, republished by hundreds of media sites, as many as 400, 500 media sites, depending on your distribution service and that's four or 500 instances of the exact same article and it doesn't … and it ranks you. It's about, it's all about your linking and like what we call the PR stack and stuff like that.\nAgain, it's not a duplicate content issue, right. There's a footprint issue when you start syndicating the same content to non-branded properties. That can … Because then that's clearly what … You're doing that clearly to manipulate search engine rankings. For Youtube, it doesn't affect Youtube at all.\nBy the way. You're asking about the IFTT and spam entry points. Guys, for those that don't understand what Lenoy's asking about, the spam entry point, that means like where can you inject linked spam into the system. If you're talking about like the diagrams that I've drawn for Youtube Silo Academy, you can spam those pretty much anywhere you want, those networks. Anyone, the properties in the networks, anywhere you want, you can inject spam anywhere really, 'cause it doesn't make a difference.\nThere's no footprint issues with Youtube syndication. The footprint issues come in with blog syndication, because Google will slap your money site if it thinks that you're republishing content to manipulate search, but Google will not slap your Youtube channel if you're republishing Google code, if you're acting as a publisher for Google, which is what you're doing when you syndicate Youtube videos, right, so there's a big difference, guys. Just keep that in mind, Lenoy.\nAbsolutely, they still work. It's still standard operating procedure. I think it's basically the … It's still a foundation of everything that we do as syndication networks, okay.\nIt was a great question, by the way. It's good to review this stuff, guys, for new people and even for people that seem to forget why we use them. You know what I mean?\nHow Do You Remove Spam Domains That Link To Your Site?\nNext, Israel says, \"I had a new domain get hit with Japanese spam and hacked. There are about 12,000 backlinks to the site that happened because of this plus a bunch of 404 errors because I got rid of all the pages that were created. Should I bail on this domain or is there a way to salvage it?\"\nThat's a good question. \"It is a branded domain but I have another one I could use. If I send a redirect from the spam domain to the new domain, will this hurt the new domain?\" Yeah, it could. It would if it was just a straight 301 redirect. There are some things that you could do to link what we call link laundering, where you could do like double 301 redirects and such.\nAs far as like the 404s, that's an easy fix, right, because you can use just a plugin or something like that… Like 404 redirect or something like that that redirects all 404s to a specific page that you set, which can be the home page or whatever. You could do something like that, so you can eliminate the 404 errors rather quickly. That's not a problem.\nThe inbound 12,000 backlinks are the problem. What you can do … Here's the thing, if you got hit with Japanese spam, why were you a target? Like first of all. Because the thing is even if you were able to clean up those 12,000 backlinks which the only way I would do it … and I know Marco will probably disagree with me on this but would be through disavowed, disavowing those backlinks. I've done it successfully on multiple occasions, recovered sites with penguin penalties using the disavow tool, Google's disavow tool.\nI've done it, so I know it works, however, if you were a target for Japanese spam before, who's to say you're not going to get spammed … That domain's not just going to continually get spammed. That would be an ongoing battle, in which case, it might make sense to just replace the domain. I'm not sure that I would want to redirect the old domain to the new one at all because then that's a very simple way to still run spam back to the new domain.\nFind out, if it's an ongoing issue, then that would change what I would say, as my recommendation, but if you have another branded or another domain that you could use, sometimes it's better just to start fresh because a cleanup job could be a real bitch. You never know for sure until the penalty gets lifted if you got penalized because of it. You don't really know for sure if you're making progress really, right.\nYou could work on it for months and that's why I got out of, by the way, the penalty recovery business. I did that for a while but sometimes you work on stuff for months and not recover it and it's just a lot of wasted effort and time, so I got out of doing that.\nDoes anybody want to comment on that?\nMarco: Yeah, I've never disavowed links and I'm not about to. I'd rather have a fingernail pulled with pliers than disavow links. What I would do is, first of all, ask yourself, \"Is this worth the time that it's going to take to recover it?\" Right? \"Is it worth the time to test?\" If it's not making you money and you just want to recover it because of the domain, why bother? Even if it's branded, I mean, why bother? It would have to be worth my time and effort, right. The money would have to be there.\nI would say, that you could take that, push it through a drive stack, a G site to the new domain and your links should come out fine and then you'll actually benefit from those 12K backlinks that they send at you to try to spam you, but it would have to actually be worth it. Because you're either going to have to spend time building a drive stack or if you want it done properly, you're going to have to get one from us.\nThere's a lot of haters out there. \"Often imitated, never duplicated,\" is what Wayne said in one of his memes, but I mean it's true. You can get it for a lot cheaper than what we do our drive stacks for but you get what you pay for.\nBradley: Yup, and what Marco said, that's one thing that you can do. Something else would be that I've done that works fairly well, too, when you've got the spam domain with 12,000 inbound links that are shitty links, right, is redirect the … Like set up a HTML page that you host on Amazon and an S3 bucket that has a link to your money site with just one singular link on that page to your money site. I mean it's got content and all that and then what you do is redirect the spam domain to that HTML page. Right, that's something you can do and that's another way to clean it because the Amazon domain can take the abuse, just like the drive stack can, right.\nHernan: Yup.\nBradley: I'm saying that's … The drive stack could be more effective but a quick hit, if you need it until like a drive stack order was complete or something could be just an HTML page. Remember, those HTML pages are great, too, because they're great to use as spam targets for other stuff, too.\nGo ahead, Hernan, you want to say something.\nHernan: Yeah, I was about to say that the same applies to if you want to resurrect your Tweet or to a WordPress website or to a … not a Facebook page, because it kind of Facebook and Google, they kind of hate each other, but a Tweet can work. If you are Tweeting out your new domain and you resurrect all of the spam over there, will be a double [inaudible 00:56:16] because you get T.co and then your website.\nThere's a lot of stuff that you can do to launder that domain, but, yeah, I would strongly suggest that … Usually, it's less time consuming to start over and then maybe at some point if you still want to have that as a side project, maybe at some point it will come back and there you go, you have two powerful domains that you can use.\nBradley: Awesome and, Jordan, as offered for you, as we were able to hit them up about potentially content, content project.\nYeah, Adam's correct. A great asset is a hiring funnel, knowing how to set them up properly to get the best workers. Instead of a content writer, I recommend curating articles anyways. That's pretty much how we do all of our content generation for clients and such is through curation. We have a course that teaches exactly how to do that, which is called Content Kingpin, teaches how to curate, how to outsource that, what to pay when you're outsourcing, how long it should take outsourcers to produce money content, how long it should take them to produce link building content. All of that, best practices for curating, all of that is taught in Content Kingpin.\nOutsource Kingpin teaches you how to set up hiring funnels, just hire, screen, train, and manage virtual assistants. It's basically, literally how we built out business with virtual assistants and I think between all of us now, we've got somewhere in the neighborhood of 35, maybe approaching 40 virtual assistants. It's ridiculous but …\nBradley: That's what I'm saying-\nHernan: Yeah, not counting our individual businesses, because then, we will go out and use Outsource Campaign, the method, the Outsource Campaign Method to populate whatever we need. If you're looking for a PA, you can do it. Like without counting our own businesses, like individual businesses, yeah, I would say we're close to 40 VAs\nAll right, we're almost out of time, guys. We'll try to run through the next couple really quickly and then we got to wrap it up. Sorry, unfortunately, guys, we're out of time but love this, James O'Rourke. Thanks, buddy.\nAnyways, that beats picture of Marco. No offense, Marco, but … Anyways.\nDoes Pay Per Call (PPC) Works With Local GMB Pro?\nDoes Local GMB Pro work for PPC call affiliate offers? I imagine it … I don't know … You mean Pay Per Call Affiliate offers. I imagine it would if you spam a maps address, right, so you get them a GMB verified listing up and you just start posting. If it can generate calls, I don't see why you couldn't do that. In fact, I'm pretty sure Rob was actually monetizing some of his testing GMBs they use for testing purposes that way, if I remember correctly.\nMarco: That's exactly right, as long as the affiliate offer is local.\nMarco: You should have no issues with this.\nBradley: There you go.\nDoes Uploading Photo To A GMB Account Carries The Same Effect As Taking Photo On The Spot?\nBob Lell, \"I want to use GMB photos for the client website but just realized that when you add photos using the GMB App that you can't download the photos, so is it just as effective to take photos, location on and then upload?\" Yes, that's the preferred method actually, Bob. Okay.\nPoFu, trying to use equals Vixen. Oh, that's why he did that. That's awesome. Okay, so that just worked out then.\n\"What about the phone number consistency?\" That should absolutely … Israel, the three data points that are the most important are name, address, and phone number, even more so than the URL. For citation consistency, name, address, and phone number, those are the most, the three most important things. Now URLs should also be consistent, but I know for a fact that that is the lesser of the two. Now, having URL consistent, wherever it's mentioned online will help with ranking organically, but for maps, it's mostly name, address, and phone number.\nYou want, make sure that the name, address, and phone number are consistent, even all the way down to the punctuation. Guys, that's really critical, okay.\nAll right, let's see, guys, we have to wrap it up. Oh, shit. Let me answer two more.\nDo You Use Rich Text Snippets For Non-Directory Sites That Don't Have Headers?\nJim says, \"When doing citations on non-directory sites, WordPress blog or Weebly, if the header's unavailable, do you use rich text snippets, or simple use of plain text for the NAP?\" The problem is rich text snippets, Jim, will typically get stripped out by any of those platforms. Like if you publish them, even if you go into the HTML editor and you add it and then you save it. As soon as you save or publish it, whichever, as soon as you publish it and you go back and look at it, all that data's been stripped out and it ends up just being straight HTML text. There's really no reason to do it.\nMy point is, now sometimes, like for example, with WordPress … I don't know about WordPress.com, but I know with Word … Self posted WordPress sites, you can use a plug in that's called Raw HTML and then you could actually inject JSON-LD right into the middle of a page and it will stay. I don't know about WordPress.com, though. I don't think I've tested that there. I don't know if …\nMarco, you would probably know. JSON-LD in a WordPress.com post, would that remain or would WordPress.com strip it out?\nMarco: I haven't tested so I wouldn't know.\nBradley: I'm pretty sure it strips it out, but you can test it, Jim. You can test adding JSON-LD into the post body of WordPress blog or in Weebly and see if it sticks. I don't think it does. I'm pretty sure we've tested that in the past, I just can't remember specifically. It really doesn't matter, just put it in as any straight text. It's fine. Okay.\nIt's still … I mentioned, guys … It's still a citation. A citation is just a mention. It doesn't even have to be hyperlinked, guys. It's just a mention and that counts.\nThese are always the best free webinars for … You could have lost that modifier, Jim, to just the Best Webinars for Local SEO. You didn't have to … I'm giving you a hard time, buddy. Thank you.\nWhat about Master Pets Care?\nDon, I'm not sure I understand your … What you're asking here. There's not 28,200,000 results for local pet stores. If that … Well, then it might be for pet stores local. That means there's 28 million results on the page or, excuse me, that have pet stores, local pet … the words pet stores and local somewhere on index page. Does that make sense?\nI don't know what you're asking here, Don.\nAll right, guys, I think we have to wrap it … Oh, I'm sorry, so here, he's clarifying here. \"I'm just posting this for the guy asking about maps. This is one of my websites that I'm rebuilding in [inaudible 01:03:02]. It's been down for about eight months total. This just shows the power it can have. It's ranking number one locally still while it's been down.\"\nYou mean the site's been down but you still have … I guess you're saying this website's down but the maps listing is still up. Yeah, they're two different algorithms, right, so you can rank locally, without even having a website, guys. You can rank, absolutely, in maps without even having a website. Okay.\nThoughts On Google Not Recognizing Duplicate Info In Terms Of Citations\nOkay, \"Andrew Scherer with Marketers Center said that he found using duplicate info on all of your citations makes them not all recognized with Google, as well as changing up the content on each citation. The scripts, the description needs to be worded differently. Thoughts?\"\nYeah, I mean Andrew does a lot of this stuff, so he may be correct. I haven't … Years ago, I tested that and didn't make a difference so it was wasted effort to do different descriptions for … and honestly, it's a speed thing for me. Like typically, the citation providers out there, if they … most of them will offer that as an add on, to have like different descriptions written and stuff. If you want to use it, use it.\nPersonally, I've been doing just basically the same description. I've never really had an issue because … Again, years ago, I tested that and it made no difference at the time. It may now, it very likely does make a difference now but I typically don't mess with that, but you certainly can, right. Test it, guys. If you test it on your own or if Andrew says it, I trust that what he says is right because he knows what he's talking about. If he says that having different descriptions for business, the citation business descriptions makes them more impactful, I'd trust that and try it and see.\nAll right, guys, I got to wrap it up. Sorry, we didn't get to everybody's question. I apologize for that.\nMarco: Can you get to John's question before we go? 'Cause he's asking about Local GMB Pro and Local PR Pro. He says, \"They go so well together, is there a special price for current Google My Business members?\" and it was offered.\nBradley: It was part of … Yeah, I mean it was part of the funnel during the initial sale, guys. That was like, I guess, the up sell or whatever, the OTO, which was a significant discount off what the product prices would be separately.\nBradley: That's what a one time offer is but, I don't know, can we work something out for them guys or are we just going to wait to …\nHernan: Yeah, probably. I mean just contact support and we will probably, like since you already invested in Local GMB Pro …\nHernan: There's not going to be … Like that was a real OTO, like a one time offer, but we can potentially work something out for you and if you don't have Local PR Pro or Local GMB Pro, don't get it right now because we're going to launch something special for you guys real soon.\nBradley: Yeah. Yeah, I'm sure we can do something for you, John, but again, we can't honor the same price that we had in the launch funnel because that would make it not a true OTO and we stand by our word.\nHernan: Yes, sir.\nBradley: Probably work something out for you, John. Just contact us, [email protected], we'll work something out for you.\nAll right, everybody. Thanks, guys. We appreciate it. We'll see everybody … Actually Mastermind tomorrow. We've got special guests coming on tomorrow. It's going to be quite interesting, so Mastermind members, make sure you're there, okay.

And whose to say processing your images through a.google propertie is undetectable.\nAm i paranoid – maybe but hell im investing my time and money i dont want them monkeys to spank me.\nIf meta data can benefit your rank like we know it can then one can assume the machine id is visible in the images in each pbn?

"During the Galaxy S III announcement, Samsung made a fleeting mention of a new S Pebble music accessory. Now, we have learned that the S Pebble is actually an MP3 player that relies on the Galaxy S III to function.\nAccording to Engadget, the S Pebble is a 4GB MP3 player similar to the Pebble MP3 player lineup Samsung introduced a few years ago. The tiny device has a clip on the back like the current iPod shuffle and iPod nano, and has a long 17 hour battery life. It comes in the same Marble White and Pebble Blue colors as the Galaxy S III.\nSamsung wants users to view the S Pebble as more of an accessory than a standalone device. To reinforce that point, the S Pebble cannot sync to a PC or Mac. Instead, the S Pebble syncs to the Galaxy S III, so users have to load their music on the smartphone before they can load it on the 4GB MP3 player.\nSamsung designed the S Pebble for runners, but doesn't offer any features beyond an iPod shuffle. The device offers no GPS or pedometer. There's no way to use the S Pebble as a fitness tracker, only as a way to listen to music on while running, jogging, or doing anything else. The one big feature it has is that it allows runners to leave their expensive 4.8-inch Galaxy S III at home while running.\nSamsung hasn't announced pricing or availability for the S Pebble yet, but we expect to see it soon. Although, we wouldn't be too surprised if the device ends up being hard to find in the U.S." |
"The striker's contract still has two-and-a-half years to run, but club officials have clashed with his wife and agent Wanda Nara. Mauro Icardi is refusing to play for Inter Milan in their Europe League tie against Rapid Vienna on Thursday after he was stripped of the club captaincy.\nThe manager, Luciano Spalletti, decided to pass the captain's role to goalkeeper Samir Handanovic because Icardi's protracted contract negotiations with the club were becoming a distraction. Icardi has been Inter's leading goalscorer for each of the past four seasons and has scored nine in this campaign, although his form has slumped in recent weeks.\nThe striker's contract still has two-and-a-half years to run, but club officials have clashed with his wife and agent, Wanda Nara. Icardi's situation will no doubt be closely monitored by all of Europe's major clubs." |

"It is worth listening to, especially in light of Good Friday and Easter this week!\nYou might be blown away by his insight!\nThis essay will attempt to offer criticism against Process Theism. Given the limitation of the pages here, it will be assumed that the reader has a basic understanding of Process Theology. The critique of Process is done with the desire to \"contend earnestly for the faith\" by refuting a system that is antithetical to the \"faith which was once for all handed down to the saints\" (Jude 1:3). Beyond just providing a critique of Process theology, this essay is an exercise of critiquing a worldview that doesn't even begin with the Bible, and to offer a concrete example of how the rejection of God's Word leads God to destroy the wisdom of the wise, and God setting aside the cleverness of the clever (cf. 1st Corinthians 1:19).\nIn his first epistle to Timothy, Paul wrote that to \"ensure salvation both for yourself and for those who hear you,\" church leaders such as Timothy should \"pay close attention to yourself and to your teaching; persevere in these things\" (1st Timothy 4:16). For the Christian who is paying close attention to doctrines and life, Process Theology turns out to be spiritually dangerous in regards to its doctrines and also its implication for the Christian life and ministry.\nNot only does Process theism deny the traditional attributes of God, they also believe that God is dependent on the world, as Process theologian Robert Mellert states, \"Process theologians, therefore, generally hold that God is in some sense dependent upon the world and that in that sense he is subject to the changes that take place in the world.\" One of the most popular proponents of Process today is John Cobb, and repeatedly throughout his works, he emphasizes that God is love even at the expense of God's holiness and righteousness. It is then no surprise then to find Cobb writes, \"From the point of view of process theology, God is never violent in the usual sense. Central to our understanding is that God relates to us persuasively rather than coercively…\" Certainly the actual doctrines of Process should be troubling for Bible-believing Christians, and Christians should be aware of them.\nChristians should also be aware of the danger of Process Theology's when it comes to its implication for the Christian life and ministry. For instance, Joe Blosser, a preacher who subscribes to Process Theism, has correctly noted the relationship of how one's view of God would affects one's way of preaching about God: \"The preacher describes the type of God to be modeled and then outlines practical ways to model that notion of God or become like a particular Christ-conception.\" Given Process view of God as non-imposing, this dramatically affects the authority of preaching: \"With God no longer conceived as an other imposing the Word on a congregation, we should no longer feel compelled to understand the preacher as the divinely appointed conveyer of God's Word.\" Process Theism also affects in the area of theology of prayer: \"In a relational universe, our prayers make a difference. While our prayers do not supernaturally change the events of the world, they 'radiate' in a non-local way across the universe, shaping the unconscious and conscious experiences of others, transforming others' environments, and creating environments in which God's vision of wholeness may be more fully realized.\" This excerpt is revealing, especially with Process denial that prayers have any supernatural effect through God. Prayer should be done by the Christian primarily to communicate with God and Scripture does not talk about praying as a way to create some sort of an environment which the vision of God is realized to a greater degree.\nWHAT SHOULD THE CHRISTIAN RESPONSE BE TOWARD PROCESS THEOLOGY?\nIn fact, part of the qualification of an elder is to \"be able both to exhort in sound doctrine and to refute those who contradict\" (Titus 1:9). What Scripture commands here is clear: refute Process Theology, which contradicts the sound doctrine of Scripture.\nRather than re-invent the wheel, an assessment of what Evangelicals have already done concerning Process would be a wise course to take. How has Evangelicals responded toward Process theology in print? John Feinberg has devoted a chapter discussing Process in his book No One Like Him. The half-dozen criticisms offered by Feinberg deals with the incoherence of the god of Process theology. Ronald Nash has edited a volume in which various Evangelicals contributed their essays responding to Process Theology. In the essay that Nash himself contributes, he framed his critique in terms of Process Theology versus Classical Theism, and faults Process Theology with committing an either/or fallacy between only Thomistic theism and Process Theology, a paragraph on how Process theologians are indebted to Greek philosophy and the incoherence of their view of God. In terms of theologically driven responses, Evangelicals have compared and contrasted Process to Reformed theology, shed Biblical light against Process view of Jesus and the Trinity, addressed Process view of the problem of evil from a libertarian freewill perspective, and defended Creatio ex nihilo from Process attack. Responses from Evangelicals that have taken more of a philosophical flavor has largely been metaphysical by nature, considering whether God could or could not act, Process view of Divine power, the relationship of God to the world and the coherence of the concept of God to Whitehead's overall metaphysics. An Evangelical critique in print that is somewhat epistemological in nature was written by William Lane Craig concerning God's foreknowledge and future contingency. However, this deals more with God's knowledge of the future rather than the epistemology of how man knows about God. If there can be any contribution towards an Evangelical response toward Process Theology, it is an epistemic critique of whether Process theologians can know the things they claim to know about God.\nIn his essay critiquing Process theology, Demarest has made an important observation of the role of epistemology in the debate: \"In the realm of epistemology it is clear that process views of Christ and the Trinity are derived not from authoritative Scripture but from the philosophy of Whitehead as refined by his followers.\" Certainly, there is a clash between two competing epistemologies in the Process versus Christianity debate. Despite realizing the different epistemology in which Process theologian operates, Demarest has not developed an epistemological critique in his essay. It is important that Christians also critique the epistemology of Process theology.\nAt this point, it is important to be aware of the distinction between knowing and believing. How one arrives at truth (their presuppositions and method) is important. To believe simply means to mentally assent to a claim as being true. On the other hand, knowing is to believe what is true, having arrived to that truth properly. For example, you see that there are two clocks next to each other, and one that has stopped at 4:20, and the other is a working clock that has the right time. If one happened to look at the broken clock at 4:20 PM the belief that it's 4:20 PM might happen to be true, but it wasn't properly arrived at (the clock is faulty in giving the right time). Thus, one cannot say they \"know\" it's 4:20 PM, unless they arrived at this truth properly (by looking at the working clock). Similarly, if one's method of knowing God is faulty, then one cannot \"know\" their theological beliefs (thought they might believe them), since the beliefs have not been rationally justified. While even a broken clock can be right at least twice a day, similarly a faulty epistemology can coincidently come to some truth, but it does not provide an adequate reason for it to be true. Thus, a theological system with faulty epistemology that has claims about reality in the sphere of metaphysics or theology can be dismissed since it is arbitrary.\nComing back to the epistemology of Process theology then, the question is whether (1) Process epistemology is coherent (internally compatible to make sense within itself) and (2) whether Process epistemology is adequate for it to logically lead to its theological statements.\nAs noted earlier, Process theology heavily emphasizes metaphysics since its inception by Whitehead. Due to this emphasis on metaphysics, discussion of epistemology does not appear as frequently as one would like. Enough materials do exist from Whitehead's writings for Process theologian Loomer to conclude that although \"there are elements in his system which would seem to indicate an uncertainty or a wavering on his part, but essentially his methodology is truly empirical.\" In the same vein as Whitehead, Loomer has affirmed empiricism: \"All knowledge is empirically tested.\" For the record, Whitehead does not wish to identify his empiricism with the traditional (British) empiricism not because he was critical of empiricism itself, but because \"his basic criticism of traditional empiricism is that it has not been sufficiently empirical…\" What he wants in epistemology is more empiricism, and one which is more consistently empirical.\nYet, the aim of finding the characteristic of all experience can never be achieved empirically because it is impossible for any human or group of humans to empirically investigate all experiences. As finite human beings who experience birth and death, no one can empirically analyze all the experiences of man in the past, nor all the experiences of man in the future after his death to come to a conclusion about all experiences. Whitehead adds further limitation to their epistemology in respect to time, since according to Loomer, \"Sense-perception, for Whitehead, confines us to the immediate present. From it we can gain no knowledge of the past or future.\" If knowledge is limited only to the immediate present, then the endeavor of Process epistemology to know the structures behind all experiences is already doom from the start.\nOf course, the problem with the statement above is that it assumes there is a correspondence between truths in the physical universe with the human body. There is no reason given by Process theologians to believe why the physical universe should necessarily correspond to the human body.\nGrounding empiricism in feelings compounds the problem of Process epistemology rather than resolves it. Process has reduced the objective nature of empiricism to nothing more than what physical feelings project: \"Sense perception essentially is projection of our inherited bodily feelings…\" What we sense then, is not so much the physical world outside our body but in essence what our feelings project. Empiricism then is reduced to something that is more autobiographical than something actual of external reality: \"The data of sense-perception (i.e., sensa) are not primarily perceived as qualifications or attributes of regions external to the human body.\" Thus, Process Theology cannot know any truth of the world outside the individual. What has begun as an epistemology for physical hard facts has turned into a defeated epistemology unable to know anything of the world outside a person's mind.\nTruth then, becomes very subjective. If the ultimate authority in Process epistemology is man, and particularly the authority is man's feelings, Process epistemology becomes problematic: Led by men's feeling, there are many competing and conflicting opinions man has about God and theology. Not all of them could all be true in the same sense at the same time, since this would violate the Law of Non-Contradiction.\nThe subjective nature of Process epistemology reduces rationality to nothing more than a matter of preference. Truth about God becomes nothing more than individual preferences, where the value of theology is nothing more than a fashion statement. If truth (including the truth of God) is nothing more than preferences of individuals guided by their feelings, the debate between Process theology and Biblical Christianity becomes unintelligible and meaningless in the Process worldview: It's absurd to debate about your preference of chocolate ice cream against another person's preference of vanilla ice cream. It is equally absurd then to debate one's preference of Process Theology against another person's preference of Classical Theism.\nYet, Process theologians are inconsistent in their epistemology. Process theologians do not believe rational discourse is reduced to nothing more than subjective feelings. They believe truth transcends feelings and that there is an objective mooring to truth. Process theologians go on to dispute with other beliefs. For instance, Cobbs does not believe that God and nationalism should go together: \"For those who believe in God, such patriotism calls for reminding the nation that God cares equally for other peoples and respects their love of their nations.\" He believes this is true despite what Nationalistic theists might believe; Cobb urges them that rationally God does not love exclusively only one nation, but other nations as well. Furthermore, Cobbs assume that truth is beyond what one may feel about it. He laments his opinion that the reason why we find \"God Almighty\" in the Scriptures \"is the result of a fateful decision made by those who translated the Hebrew Bible into Greek. These translators found in Genesis and Job extensive references to El Shaddai, or just Shaddai. This was a proper name for a god who was originally, we may assume, not identical with Yahweh. Yahweh they translated as the Lord.\" Whether or not his claim is true, it is definitely true that he believes the basis for this truth is not subjective feelings but objective historical and lexical factors.\nLoomer has stated that \"God is not to be treated as an exception to metaphysical principles but rather as their chief exemplification. To hold otherwise is to deny that we can have any natural knowledge of God.\" If this is the natural knowledge of God that Process purports to have, one is better off with what God has revealed about Himself instead.\nProcess' doctrine of revelation suffers from internal defect when it comes to their view of the Bible. On the one hand, the God's revelation is not propositional in nature: \"This divine self-disclosure is to be distinguished from the communication of propositional truth or a body of doctrines, although it does entail cognitive content.\" That is because \"from a process prospective, revelation has an event-character, as it does in so much recent theology, commensurate with its nature as divine self-disclosure rather than the communication of propositional truth.\" Yet on the other hand, Process theologians would state that the Bible contains factual errors: \"The Bible is full of errors of fact, of moral judgment, and of theological teaching.\" Thus, they deny inerrancy: \"Clearly a process thinker cannot affirm Bible inerrancy or literal historical accuracy.\" However, how can the Bible have anything thing false or in error if the Bible is not propositional to begin with? To illustrate, take for instance the following phrase: \"Hey You all.\" The phrase gives no propositional truth, since it is neither a true or false statement (it is just a greeting). It is incorrect to say that the statement \"Hey You all\" is false. The same is the situation with Process theologian's denial of the propositional nature of the Bible and then saying the Bible is false: A categorical fallacy has been committed when they say that the Bible is false, because supposedly the Bible does not contain statements that are true or false.\nFurthermore, Process' epistemology believes that there can never be falsehood and error: \"In the pure form of either causal efficacy or sense-perception, Whitehead claims that there is no error. Error arises from improper 'symbolic reference' which is the fusion of the two pure modes.\" Why then does Process theology suddenly find it convenient to fault the Bible with error?\nThe above has attempted to demonstrate the self-defeating and arbitrary nature in the epistemology of Process theology. Rather experience pessimism, there is hope of knowing God by going to the Bible.\nThe Bible, being God's written authoritative revelation, is what Process theologians need to escape the futility of their system. Being finite when God is infinite, being prone to error because of the effect of sin and the Fall, any knowledge of God has to be disclosed to us by Himself. The God of the Bible can reveal Himself to us through His Word because of who God is: He knows all things, including things about Himself. Statements about who He is, will be true for all times because His nature, character and Word never changes. The god of Process Theology is unable to reveal himself: it has no authority, cannot control humans to write exactly what it wants, happens to change all the time and everything which affects creation and creatures affects him. Whether or not God or any false god can or cannot reveal Himself or itself is determined by what that God or god is like.\nThe epistemology of Process Theology confirms the glorious truth of God's rhetorical boasts when He asks, \"Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?\" (1st Corinthians 1:20). Process' epistemology is foolishness and self-refuting. In the end it must be revealed that from the beginning Process' epistemology was never meant to discover truth. Early in the history of Process Theism, Whitehead was never truly concern about the truth. He writes, \"It is more important that a proposition be interesting than that it be true. The importance of truth is that it adds to interest.\" Christians should not be surprised, because God's Word has revealed that man does not want the truth, but rather they suppress the truth in unrighteousness (Romans 1:18). They rather worship the creativity of their own idols (Romans 1:25). In the end, it is a spiritually moral issue for Whitehead and his followers: Will they come to acknowledge their sin of revolting against the God who has clearly revealed Himself and His invisible attributes inexcusably to all in general revelation (Romans 1:20), and also in the self-attesting Word of God (cf. Luke 16:29-31) or perish under the righteous judgment for their sins of suppressing the truth (Romans 1:18)? Will they turn to God to be graciously forgiven and saved through faith alone by Christ saving work alone? Process theologians need to repent from the idol they have constructed. They need to accept the Bible as the Word of God and humbly accept the inward testimony of God the Holy Spirit to His Written Word.\nProcess Theology, edited by Ronald Nash.

What a great resource!\nDid Focus on the Family's Superbowl Ad made any difference?\nIt's been over a month since Focus on the Family's ad appeared in the Super Bowl. From time to time I hear comments that maybe Focus shouldn't have placed the ad, or should have placed a more hard-hitting ad. \"What good has it done?\" I hear some ask.\nI need to thank you so much. It's not like me to reach out to strangers or agencies for help. I was truly feeling lost. I saw the ad during the Super Bowl and it stuck in my head. I feel like that commercial was made to reach out to me.\nLater that week I googled it and watched the ad over and over. Then I went to your website and watched the related interview. I felt drawn to reach out to you and I am so glad that I did. You may think that all you did was email me back, but you did so much more than that!!! You gave me hope and encouragement.\nIt made my night just reading it!\n–Paul David Tripp from Instruments in the Redeemer's Hands, page 9.\nTheology Proper has implication for Christian living!!!\nTheology Proper is the part of systematic theology which concern the person and attributes of God Himself.\nOften times those who do not have a relationship with God thinks that studying who God is, is just an meaningless pursuit of speculations, with no implication to the real world.\nHowever, Christians studies of theology proper does have implications to the real world: Christians should be compelled to live more Godly lives!\nThose who are teachers of Theology have the important responsibility (and privilege) of teaching the deep truth of God and also what it means to the listeners' lives.\nGod's omniscience is what Solomon appeals to in Proverbs 5:21, in the section which instructs his son not to commit adultery.\nSince God is Holy, Christians are to be Holy as well (1 Peter 1: 16).\n1st John 4:16 teaches that God is Love, and it is on the basis of the love of God that Christians will be perfected for the Day of Judgment (1st John 4:17).\nKnowing that God is perfect, Jesus tells the disciples to aim for the goal of being perfect as the Father is perfect (Matthew 5:48).\nGod's attribute includes mercy (Exodus 34:6), and Jesus taught in the parable of the unmerciful servant that Christians' experience of mercy should lead them to show forgiving mercy to others (Matthew 18:21-35).\nWhat are some more you can think of???" |
"Showing http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/news.aspx?id=14742 captured on Aug 21, 2008\nCharges dismissed against California porn business\nPITTSBURGH — A federal judge dismissed obscenity charges last week against a California pornography business, finding obscenity statutes unconstitutional in the case.\nBecause people have a right to view such material in the privacy of their own homes, there's a right to market it, U.S. District Judge Gary L. Lancaster said in dismissing the case against Robert Zicari and Janet Romano, both of Northridge, Calif., and their company, Extreme Associates.\nLancaster said prosecutors had overstepped their bounds while trying to block the material from children and from adults who didn't want to see such material inadvertently.\n\"We find that the federal obscenity statutes burden an individual's fundamental right to possess, read, observe and think about what he chooses in the privacy of his own home by completely banning the distribution of obscene materials,\" Lancaster wrote, as quoted in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.\nIn finding that the state cannot ban material simply because it finds it objectionable, Lancaster relied on the U.S. Supreme Court's June 2003 ruling in Lawrence v. Texas that struck down a state ban on gay sex. The Supreme Court ruled that the ban was an unconstitutional violation of privacy.\nThe ruling in the case, which had been closely watch by the adult-entertainment industry, was a blow to the Justice Department's anti-obscenity efforts.\n\"I think it's a significant victory for freedom and the exercise of our own personal liberties,\" said H. Louis Sirkin, attorney for the couple and their company. \"I know the adult industry is very excited\" by the decision, he said.\nSirkin, a Cincinnati lawyer, had also disputed that the materials were obscene, noting that they involved consenting adults.\nIn a written statement, U.S. Attorney Mary Beth Buchanan said prosecutors were \"very disappointed\" and were reviewing the case and examining options, including a possible appeal.\n\"As we set forth in the pleadings we filed in the case, we continue to believe that the federal obscenity statutes are valid and constitutional, including as applied in this case,\" she said.\nWhen she announced the indictment in August 2003, Buchanan said the lack of enforcement of obscenity laws during the mid- to late-1990s \"led to a proliferation of obscenity throughout the United States.\"\nBuchanan has maintained that the case was not about banning all sexually explicit materials, just reining in obscenity. Extreme Associates' productions depict rape and murder, she said.\nProsecutors charged the couple and their company with distributing three videos to Pittsburgh through the mail and six images over the Internet.\nInvestigators didn't just happen upon the videos; they had to join and order them, Sirkin said.\nA grand jury was later shown the video and Internet images and found them to be obscene. Pornographers must adhere to the community standards of where products are made and anywhere they might be seen, prosecutors had said.\nFree-speech advocates contended prosecutors were trying to find a conservative jury in hopes of securing a conviction. Buchanan denied that assertion.\nSirkin said the community-standards notion was outdated because of growing access to the Internet.\nExtreme Associates is still doing business and still offers the movies at issue for sale.\nFeds to appeal dismissal of obscenity case\nJustice Department to ask 3rd Circuit to reinstate 10-count indictment against California pornography business. 02.17.05\n'Rare' obscenity prosecution signals new crackdown\nCalifornia couple indicted by federal grand jury for allegedly distributing obscene materials in western Pennsylvania; Justice Department plans stepped-up efforts against 'proliferation of adult obscenity.' 08.09.03\nPornography & obscenity\nNews summary page\nView the latest news stories throughout the First Amendment Center Online.\nLast system update: Thursday, August 21, 2008 | 16:41:16" |

"It was a delight to have Danny speak to us on Sunday. He did a marvellous job helping us to understand the dangers of hypocrisy, and the comforting strength God gives to help us with these challenges.\nIt was also a joy to welcome Chris Birtles who joined us for the service on Sunday from our sister church in Thames Valley. later in the afternoon he went to the community shield match at Wembley. Clearly, his presence with us made a difference, since he is a Man U fan, and they were victorious!\nThis coming Wednesday the women are meeting, and Oge is teaching the lesson. The passage involved is Luke 11.37–54.\nThis coming Sunday 14 August, we are having a joint service with the Northwest region of the London church. Our venue is Cassiobury Park. The service time is 11 AM. The best way to find the exact location will be to go to the carpark. You will see ushers and signs from there. Please bring a picnic, and if you have a gazebo you are welcome to bring that. We have permission from the council to put up gazebos in case of rain, or too much sunshine!" |

Firstly the caravan owners were genuinly friendly and helpful and went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order for us. The caravan itself was clearly well looked after. Spotlessly clean throughout infact and also very homely with some nice touches. The site it's self was also very clean, well kept and quiet, even in the school holidays. We recommend signing up for the segways. Only £3 and great fun. There is a swimming pool on site also. The site is located in a nice area, next to the beach and is great to explore with enough to do for the family, but also ideal if you are looking for a peaceful break. To sum up definitely one of the best caravans we have stayed in on a very nice site.\nWhat a great weekend we had in a home from home caravan. Everything was spotless, comfortable and we were made to feel very welcome when we arrived. The communication when booking was excellent and nothing was too much trouble for Tony and Jo. Tony even jump started my car when it didn't start on the day we left, what service! Thanks for a great weekend, we will definitely be back.\nA beautifully presented caravan with everything you could possibly need. Plenty of space for myself and two children (one who has disabilities and struggles with small spaces). The enquiry and booking process was exemplary, quick and well informed and the personal service which commenced with a meeting upon our arrival was fantastic. This continued throughout the holiday with advisory emails about the weather and a fire safety check. Couldn't have asked for anything more, excellent accommodation, beautiful site and fantastically helpful owners. We will definitely be returning next summer. Thank you Jo and Tony.\nWe had a great time the caravan was perfect for the six of us. The sight facilities and location are really good as well. Tony and Jo were very accommodating, due to family commitments we had to change our dates which they did without hesitation. Definitely recommend the caravan." |

"Mythbusting:Can a VMware private cloud cost 5 to 16 times more than Microsoft private cloud?\nMicrosoft claimes their private cloud solution is 5 to 16 times cheaper than a compareable VMware's private cloud solution. This posting shows this claim is unfair and inaccurate because it compares apples to oranges.\nOur analysis shows that a VMware private cloud solution can cost from five to sixteen times more than a comparable Microsoft private cloud solution over a period of one to three years.\nMicrosoft also released an online calculator titled Microsoft Private Cloud Economics Tool.It calculates the cost of creating a private cloud solution with Microsoft and VMware technologies. The calculator follows a simple methodology by considering the software acquisition and support costs for a private cloud solution.\nLets have a more closer look on how Microsoft came to this conclusion and if they are really comparing apples to apples like they claim in their whitepaper.\nLets have a look at another definition of which components or characteristics a private cloud should have. The image below shows what according to Gartner should be part of a private cloud. Read the posting of Peter Noorderijk titled \"the Private Cloud explained\" to understand which Microsoft solutions deliver this private cloud mode.\nThe table below shows the products required to deliver IT as service using a private cloud computing model. As you can see below, to build a comparable private cloud based on VMware, you need several components like Cloud Infrastructure Suite products (vSphere, vCenter, vCloud Director, vCenter Site Recovery Manager), vCenter Operations Management Suite and vFabric among others.\nWhile Gartner does not mention data protection/disaster recovery as part of a private cloud, Microsoft does. Microsoft compares VMware Site Recovery Manager (SRM) to a combination of Data Protection Manager and Orchestrator. This is not a fair way to compare. It is like comparing apples to oranges and a way to make the VMware solution much more expensive. I will explain why.\nFirst of all, SRM is a totally different solution than DPM. SRM is able to replicate virtual machines using either storage replication (synchroneous) or host based replication (hypervisor). Replication means that an organization has an exact copy of a virtual machine somewhere in a recovery site. This replica can be started instantly when needed. Also SRM is able to verify the replicated virtual machines can start.\nDPM on the other hand is a backup tool. It stores virtual machine metadata and data of virtual machine in a backup file. When a virtual machine is lost a timeconsuming restore process needs to be performed. This proces might be automated using Orchestrator but comparing to SRM is comparing an ultralight plane to a Boeing: both can fly but with a total different experience.\nNot only compares Microsoft two totally different solutions, it also assumes an organization running 500 VM want to protect all 500 VM's using SRM. This is not a reallife scenario. SRM will be used to protect TIER1 applications. There are lots of applications which do not require a recovery time of lets say less than 1 hour. Also some applications take care of replication themselves (Active Directory) or can easily be reinstalled (Citrix, RDP servers).\nMicrosoft does not add a comparable security solution in the cost calculation for their own private cloud. To isolate network of tenants in a Microsoft infrastructure you will need Microsoft TMG. This is not part of the System Center 2012 suite so additional costs are involved.\nIncluded in the vCloud Director license is vShield Edge delivering firewall, NAT and DHCP features. For an overview of the vShield family of solutions see this posting. While vShield Edge is already paid for in the vCloud Director license, Microsoft adds the costs.\nIncluded in the vSphere Advanced edition is vShield App. Microsoft uses the vSphere Enterprise Plus edition license in the calculation which also is including vShield App. Microsoft adds by mistake the costs of vShield Add.\nPart of the System Center 2012 suite is Microsoft Endpoint Protection. This is a malware/anti virus agent. VMware's endpoint protection solution is called vShield App. It is not an anti-virus product but a middleware solution which enables anti-virus vendors to write applications to protect virtual machines. Instead of installing an agent in every VM like Microsoft Endpoint Protection using VMware's solution anti-virus/malware detection is done in the kernel offloading resources. Both solutions cannot be compared.\nWhile Microsoft adds costs for Disaster Recovery and Security in the VMware solution they do not have add costs for an alternative, *equal* solution themselves. This adds 33% to the costs of the VMware solution.\nchargeback system and capacity management.\nMicrosoft does not have a software solution for Chargeback. In Windows Server 8 Powershell and WMI command will be available so IT can meter the usage of resources. Complicated scripting will needs to be done. Expected is that third party suppliers will use the metering to built tools on.\nVMware has a solution titled VMware vCenter Chargeback Manager which is able to perform chargeback out of the box. Chargeback Manager is part of VMware Operations Management Suite. Microsoft included the license costs of VMware Operations Management Suite in the comparison.\nSo with Microsoft private cloud chargeback is very limited with no out of the box functionality in VMware 's solution a full chargeback solution is offered.\nMicrosoft also does not deliver a solution for Capacity Management. Using some third party management packs for System Center Operations Manager some rough capacity estimates can be given. This cannot be compared to the capacity management offered in vCenter Operations Manager. vCenter Operations Manager is part of VMware Operations Management Suite.\nSo with Microsoft private cloud Capacity Management is very limited, it is fully integrated in VMware's private cloud offering.\nWhile the costs of buying the software, maintenance and support are clear (listed in a pricelist) the costs of using the software are not. At this point it is impossible to judge how well the System Center 2012 products can interact with eachother and how eassy they can be used by IT-staff. I do not have experience with the VMware private solutions to say anything about how well those components work together.\nAt April 9 VMware responded to the Microsoft claim by posting a blogposting titled 7 Reasons Why Microsoft's Cloud Math Needs Remediation. VMware makes it's own cost calculation and it turns out to be 15 % cheaper than Microsoft private cloud solution. This calculation is questionable as well. VMware compares vCenter with System Center. System Center offers a lot more functionality than vCenter Server alone.\nThe Microsoft white paper is nothing but an attempt to artificially inflate VMware's prices and distract customers from the shortcomings of their own products.\nMicrosoft want to believe that their private cloud solution is 5 to 16 times cheaper than VMware's solution. In real they are comparing apples to oranges." |
"Over the weekend I opened the doors to Planet Semantic Focus, our Semantic Web buzz aggregator! In a nutshell, PSF makes it easy for you to keep tabs on what's going within the Semantic Web community. In its current version (beta) the system is tracking blog posts from various sources and bloggers.\nOnce again, the main idea behind the social network comes from a reversal process. We're dealing with an approach focused on the people (user-centric) and not on the applications allowing us to produce various data (text with blogs, pictures on Flickr, videos on YouTube, etc.). Rather than indicate to our contacts the numerous RSS feeds representing our \"digital life\", we are going to point at a unique address (our OpenID) whereby they will have access to any shared data. Even better, they will be able to add us in their contact list in order to automatically receive our new data (our \"lifestreams\"). To draw a parallel between an existing tool, adding an RSS feed to an aggregator like Google Reader comes down to adding a contact in our social network. But there is a major difference because this new approach simplifies things a lot while introducing many new fascinating possibilities." |

"Right assignment is a bit of an oddity in programming languages. Offhand I can think of a few programming languages that use it: COBOL, TI-Basic, and Forth (due to its value-stack notation).\nI have written a bit about right assignment in R in the past. And that led to some interesting discussion.\nFrankly I thought right assignment was prohibited in Hadley Wickham's own style guide. But as Gabe Becker taught me a while ago: there isn't actually any right-arrow in R (so maybe \"Use <-, not =, for assignment.\" allows ->).\nAnother point: R pipes are very closely related to right assignment notation, so once you allow right assignment you don't actually need pipes in the current R sense (though other forms of pipes such as Unix pipes would be a great addition).\nThe idea of having a canonical \"pronunciation\" for symbols is not a new one. It is fairly standard practice in the Unix community (one reference here). The McIlroy Unix pipe \"|\" (which streams partial results, resulting in very powerful concurrent composition) is said to be read as \"pipe\", \"pipe to\", \"to\", \"thru\" (and a few more variations). In this era of keyboard shortcuts it is worth considering more verbose piping operators.\nI'd say this fails on at least two counts, the first \"%then%\" doesn't seem grammatical (as d is a noun), and magrittr pipes can't be associated with a new name (as they are implemented by looking for theirselves by name in captured unevaluated code).\nHowever, the wrapr dot arrow pipe can take on new names.\nLet's try a variation, using a traditional pronunciation: \"to\".\nI am still not sure about the above notation one way or the other. Notational prescriptions are at best proposals or \"requests for comment\", and need to consider context and precedent to be useful." |
"Mahout uses Collabrative Filtering approach for making recommendations. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Collaborative_filtering). Collaborative filtering produces recommendations based on user preferences for items and does not require knowledge of the specific properties of the items. In contrast, content-based recommendation produces recommendations based off of intimate knowledge of the properties of items. This implies, of course, that content-based recommendation engines are domain-specific, whereas Mahout's collaborative filtering approach can work in a ny domain provided it has sufficient user-item preference data to work with.\nMahout utilizes the fact that if two users have same views of different items ,then their taste are similar and preferences of one user can act as recommendations for other.\nThis approach is used to make recommendations and is termed as User Based Recommendation. Main advantage lies in the fact that this doesn't requires attributes of item to be known for making recommendations but just user preferences.\nItem based – item recommendation based on finding similar items .Instead of finding similar users it finds similar items. By default it uses user rating or their association with different item ,thus the main concept is similar to user based .However,we can customize it to form similarity based on domain knowledge .\nCollect data and transform it to a form userId,ItemId,rating .Value of rating is optional .Mahout can get this data from database,file or program .Using file is better in the sense it performs efficiently as it avoids computation for marshalling,serializing data.\nThis step would result in algo that provides the best recommendations.\nMahout provides servlet and web service which takes userId and noOfRecommendations as parameters .We can integrate our recommender with the mahout – src distribution and deploy it on tomcat.\nThis entry was posted in eCommerce, Java, Paxcel Labs and tagged business analytics, e commerce, mahout, predictive analytics, recommendation, recommendation engine.

"Jerry Vandergriff (born c. 1942) is a former American football player and coach. He was a football player at Angelo State College in San Angelo, Texas, and the University of Corpus Christi. He was a football coach at Angelo State from 1971 to 2004, including 23 years as head coach. He is the winningest coach in Angelo State history and ranks 39th in wins in NCAA Division II history.\n\nBiography\nVandergriff is a native of Tulia, Texas. He began his association with Angelo State Rams football as a freshman football player. He later recalled, \"Basically, I played here when I was a freshman coming in and just fell in love with the place.\" Vandergriff was the quarterback of the 1960 San Angelo team that finished with a 7–3 record and played in the 1960 Hospitality Bowl in Gulfport, Mississippi. When San Angelo temporarily discontinued the football program after the 1960 season, Vandergriff transferred to Texas A&M University–Corpus Christi (then known as the \"University of Corpus Christi\"), where he received All-Texas and Little All-America honors. Vandergriff received his bachelor's degree at Corpus Christi in 1964 and later received a master's degree from Texas Tech University.\n\nAfter receiving his degree, Vandergriff coached high school football for seven years. In 1971, he returned to Angelo State as an assistant coach. He was an assistant coach under Grant Teaff, James Cameron and Jim Hess. He spent several years as the team's offensive coordinator, including the 1978 team that compiled a 14–0 record and won the NAIA Division I Football National Championship. He became the head coach in 1982 and served in that capacity through the 2004 season. In 23 years as head coach, he compiled a record of 143–100–2 (95–62–2 in Lone Star Conference play) and had 18 winning seasons. He led Angelo State to four NCAA Division II postseason appearances and was named the Lone Star Conference Coach of the Year in 1984, 1987 and 1997. He is the winningest coach in Angelo State history and ranks 39th all-time in wins among NCAA Division II football coaches.\n\nVandergriff's best season as a head coach was 1989 when the Rams had an 11–3 record, advanced to the NCAA Division II postseason semifinals, and scored a school-record 466 points (33.3 points per game). Vandergriff had another 10-win season when the 1997 Rams compiled a 10–2 record and outscored their opponents 409 to 241. The Rams under Vandergriff had the winningest record of all Texas universities in the 1980s.\n\nVandergriff coached 112 first team all-conference selections and 38 All-Americans in 23 years as Angelo State's head coach, including nine players who won the J.V. Sikes Award as the outstanding lineman and two who won the J. W. Rollins Award as the outstanding back)s. His teams won the Lone Star Conference championship in 1984 and 1987 and won the conference's South Division crown in 1999 and 2000.\n\nVandergriff resigned his position at Angelo State at the end of the 2004 football season. After retiring as the school's football coach and men's athletic director, Vandergriff remained active as a director of the Angelo Football Clinic and a director of the Cactus Bowl, the NCAA D-II All-Star Game. In 2005, he was recognized by the All-American Football Foundation for career accomplishments.\n\nVandergriff and his wife, Rose Ann Vandergriff, have a son, Bo Vandergriff.\n\nHead coaching record\n\nReferences\n\n1942 births\nLiving people\nAmerican football quarterbacks\nAngelo State Rams football coaches\nAngelo State Rams football players\nCorpus Christi Tarpons football players\nPeople from Tulia, Texas\nCoaches of American football from Texas\nPlayers of American football from Texas" |
"Bickley Estate Office\nBromley Office\nFine & Country Office\nPark Lane Office\nTenancy Fees\n< More Posts\nBuy to Let Punchbowl\nPOSTED BY GPEA News\nThe Buy to Let Punchbowl\nBuy to Let lending seems to be back at the top of everyone's agenda again. Recent figures from the Council of Mortgage Lenders suggest buy to let has been one of the key drivers of the market recovery since the credit crunch, and claim it accounts for an astonishing \"more than 70% of the overall growth in mortgage balances outstanding\" in the last five years\nCertainly lenders seem keen to get in on the action, be it new entrants such as specialist Fleet Mortgages or Indian giants Axis Bank and State Bank of India, challengers like TSB and Metro Bank coming into the sector or established names like Santander, Natwest, Virgin Money and Leeds BS substantially improving their offering.\nMore new lenders are said to be on the horizon and competition is increasing all the time. Even the big specialists Birmingham Midshires (part of Lloyds group) and The Mortgage Works (Nationwide) have upped their respective games and most recently Paragon subsidiary Mortgage Trust slashed rates by as much as 0.60%.\nWhy is buy to let booming so much? Ever since the credit crunch lenders recognised there was low risk business to be had in this sector, with better returns than they could get from homeowners.\nAt the same time, restrictions first on availability of loans for first time buyers, and more recently in affordability assessments, along with continued undersupply of new homes, have made for a thriving rental market – giving confidence to landlords and lenders alike.\nWith that backdrop, it's little surprise that the Bank of England and Treasury have been watching the buy to let sector closely. The Bank's Financial Policy Committee – charged with monitoring the stability of the economy and where possible heading off potential threats – has been raising the topic for quite some time.\nAt a recent session of the Treasury Select Committee, Chancellor George Osborne signalled the Bank of England would likely be given powers to intervene in the buy to let market. While there's no guarantee any intervention would immediately follow, the direction of travel seems clear.\nSo it looks like buy to let is at something of a crossroads and it could be we're seeing the last hoorah for a while, before the brakes are gently applied. Or, to borrow the former BoE Governor Mervyn King's metaphor, the punchbowl can't be topped up that much further before it gets taken away.\nGuild Mortgage Service, Provided by London & Country Mortgages\nYOUR HOME OR PROPERTY MAY BE REPOSSESSED IF YOU DO NOT KEEP UP REPAYMENTS ON YOUR MORTGAGE\nMost Buy-to-let mortgages are not regulated by the FCA\nWRITTEN ON 2015-12-14 14:57:26\nGeorge Proctor & Partners\nGeorge Proctor & Partners has been selling homes throughout the London Borough of Bromley and surrounding neighbourhoods since 1946.

"Kate and Chris had a modern summer wedding at one of my favorite Philly venues, The Horticulture Center. I first talked to them over FaceTime because they were planning their wedding from the West Coast. We met in person the day before their wedding during their rehearsal dinner at La Peg. They were both so sweet and I really enjoyed getting to know them as a couple, as well as their closest friends and family. Kate and Chris picked a stellar team of Philly vendors for their celebration. Shannon Wellington was their wedding planner, Sue from Fresh Design Florist worked her magic with stunning florals, Diana from ONLO did hair and makeup. Maggpie Vintage Rentals created a beautiful lounge area inside the greenhouse that was also a perfect backdrop for some photos. The reception was catered by Constellation Culinary and Bachelor Boys Band provided entertainment. We loved working with Kate and Chris!" |
"Finding a job that matches an individual's career interests and competencies can be challenging. However, landing in an ideal workplace is more difficult to guarantee. Most of the time, employees quit because of their bosses, co-workers, and the work environment.\nBeing hired in a company wherein you don't feel welcome can be devastating. No matter how hard you try, it can be as if you are left unnoticed, or made to feel that you do not belong in the team. In such situations, it could be a challenge to find inspiration, which may adversely affect one's performance at work.\nStudies have emphasized the importance of employee motivation, not only on a personal level but in the business context as well. Although there are different factors that affect an employee's supply of enthusiasm at work, there are common aspects that keep them engaged and committed.\nWith the stress and pressure encountered in a fast-paced office environment, people leaders have a tendency to focus on the deliverables, and less on the interactions and working relationships. Sometimes, bosses would try giving inspirational messages to their team members, in the hopes of driving performance and boosting employee morale. However, most of the time, the initiative gets misinterpreted. Instead of becoming inspired, more team members feel that their contributions are not being recognized, and that they are being pushed to do more.\nCompanies have identified that a common weakness in organizational cultures is the ability to inspire team members. Thus, an increasing number of companies create and publish informative workplace articles, and invite a motivational speaker to help put things into the right perspective.\nDifferent industries seek the support of motivational speakers to talk about different topics which their employees can relate to. Areas of discussion may vary to help address certain workplace issues, and to spark the interest of employees; it may be related to leadership, career, personality development, business, community, etc.\nUnlike how some people leaders teach and inspire, learning from motivational speakers doesn't appear to be an unsolicited advice. Motivational speakers are considered experts in what they do. They are extremely passionate and they are willing to share their ideas and experiences – both successes and failures. Motivational speakers not only serve as role models, but as life coaches as well. They encourage, influence, and generate impact by upholding the desired reaction and behavior among their listeners.\nThe aim of a motivational speaker is to talk about the good and the bad side of the situation at hand. Emphasis is given to opportunities rather than the problems an individual is faced with. Motivational speakers generally provide positive guidance anddirection, and fosters healthy decisions among its audience.\nEmployees have the tendency to appreciate the inputs of motivational speakers, compared to that of their bosses and co-workers. Since motivational speakers are external partners, they are not fully aware of the circumstances and troubles encountered on a daily basis. They are also not mindful of the personalities in the workplace. Motivational speakers are distant and unbiased, but the stories they share are very relevant. They manage to effectively pierce through the emotions and behavior of employees.\nIn a business setting that aims to drive performance, a motivational speaker helps trigger a spark with the team members to enjoy their job but, at the same time, take on tasks and responsibilities with utmost commitment and fervor.\nMore companies now see and appreciate the significance of motivational speakers, among other engagement activities, in driving a healthy organizational culture and work environment. Motivation drives performance at work, and companies and people leaders may find it challenging to sustain an employee's inspiration and enthusiasm. Motivational speakers are influential when it comes to communicating to employees that in every difficulty encountered at work lies a great opportunity. The messages that a motivational speaker relays is often relatable and timely, thus encouraging employees to reflect, take the appropriate action, and move forward." |

"When it comes to small business marketing, it's important to consider the journey your customers will be taking to eventually make a purchase from your business. The marketing funnel described below gives a general direction of how your customers travel from beginning to end. This marketing field guide will walk you through the marketing funnel and how you can optimize each stage to make sure that your customers travel from awareness all the way down to advocacy.\nIn this first stage, people are newly aware of your small business. This is the prime stage where you can provide free resources — this could include free guides, advice, or content that would help your customer and is relevant to your business — to help build trust and establish a relationship.\nNow is the time to deepen your relationship with these prospects and address how your small business can help them solve their problems. You shouldn't be selling to them just yet, but instead you should be sending them targeted content that will help lead them into the next stage.\nThis stage is where a prospect finally becomes a customer! This is where you close the deal by talking about the benefits of your product or service and is a great stage to offer promotions or discounts. It's important that you don't come off as too pushy — we all don't like that one salesperson who tries a little too hard — and make sure the message comes across as genuinely trying to help your customers.\nYou got the customer, but it's not over yet! It's important to continue to delivery value even after they make a purchase. This helps keep your small business top of mind and make it more likely for them to make a repeat purchase. Consider providing your customers with customer service support, exclusive content, or discounts to future purchases.\nThis is the ultimate stage that you want to get your customers to because it helps feed the top of the funnel and creates a steady flow of new prospects. As a small business owner, don't forget to empower your customers to promote you. Whether it's through setting up a referral program or asking for reviews, it is so important for you to utilize word-of-mouth marketing." |

"Added on February 8, 2007 by Chris Saad.\nEveryone is talking about the new service from Yahoo - Pipes.\nPipes is cool. It does a lot of stuff. Mainly it lets you take RSS (Ray Ozzie has referred to RSS as the \"Unix pipe of the web\") and literally pipe it. Through what? A series of services and transformations until it comes out look just like you want it.\nThink of it as a super FeedRinse.\nUnfortunately though, it's not exactly useful 'out-of-the-box'. But that's ok - because it is more a piece of Internet plumbing than it is a consumer facing service. Which is strange considering it's coming from Yahoo!\nMy friend Ian Forrester loves pipes. He has been talking about them for a long time. In fact he correctly noted that Touchstone is a sort of pipeline. Data comes in from a set of Input Adapters, is processed by our engine for Personal Relevancy, Cache and Routing, and is then passed on to one or more Output adapters for presentation to the user.\nOf course our pipe is not as flexible or configurable, but it is immediately useful for consumers. It's interesting in fact that the first example that Yahoo provides (and O'reilly catches on to) is the idea of using pipes to aggregate and filter news alerts. But filtering is so 5 years ago.\nIn \"Media 2.0\", \"alerts\", \"collaborative filtering\", \"ianforrester\", \"news reading\", \"pipes\", \"touchstone\", \"yahoo\"" |
"Diabetes – For all those who think they don't need to bother with this blog as they don't have diabetes, think twice! You could be one of the whopping 77.2 million people in India suffering from pre-diabetes! Can't believe us? Don't know what we are talking about?\nAs compared to a healthy person who has less than 100mg/dl as their blood glucose level, a person is said to be suffering from diabetes, where the fasting blood glucose level is above 126 mg/dl.\nBut if your blood glucose level is between the two, you fit into the category of pre-diabetics. It is like the body's warning bell to say that if a considerable change isn't brought into the lifestyle and health condition, you run the risk of becoming a diabetic!\nDealing with Diabetes can be cumbersome and time-consuming, especially since it is a chronic disease and you are stuck with it for a lifetime. But the results of complying with the medical dos and don'ts are rewarding and can help in controlling diabetes. Sticking to around-the-clock diabetes care can save you from severe and at times fatal consequences.\nIt is advised that you consult your physician or a dietician and have a diet plan chalked out as soon as you find out you are pre-diabetic. You should stick to the diet with dedication. Make sure you get all your doubts on diabetes cleared as to what is okay on cheat days and what is a complete no-no. Knowing about sugar substitutes and their effects on the body will leave you in a better position to decide whether you want to opt for those or not.\nMost drugs that are prescribed for diabetes react with other medications and can lead to life-threatening consequences. Always consult a physician before popping any pills and make sure to inform you have diabetes when you go for any other check-up or treatment.\nAlso, more than one medicine at a time to keep diabetes in check can lead to an increased risk of hypoglycemia.\nA physician must periodically be consulted for ABC check-ups for better management and prevention of diabetes.\nA1C test- It is a blood test that measures your blood sugar level on an average over a period of three months. It is different from the daily blood tests that you take. An A1C test needs to be done 2-3 times a year.\nBlood Pressure- Blood pressure can harm your blood vessels as much as diabetes can. High blood pressure can have a harmful effect on your eyes, kidneys and can cause a stroke or a heart attack. Please take note, checking blood pressure levels and ensuring they are within the limit is very important for a diabetic patient.\nCholesterol- High cholesterol and diabetes is a terrible combination to have together as the damage is much faster and worse. Along with diabetes and cholesterol, the diabetic patient is exposed to the risk of heart attack and stroke. To alleviate such conditions, one needs to exercise, teach good eating habits and work at maintaining their cholesterol levels.\nEyes are also very likely to be affected by diabetes. Diabetes patients are at the risk of premature cataract, glaucoma and even losing their vision. They must visit their ophthalmologist regularly and get their eyes tested for any issues or retinal damage.\nDiabetes is vicious as it leaves diabetic patients susceptible to a host of diseases as it weakens the immune system. Hence, timely vaccinations and insulin intake, along with regularly scheduled check-ups must be done without fail. One must ask their doctor about flu shots, Hepatitis B vaccines, and even pneumonia.\nThe feet of a diabetic person is prone to nerve damage due to decreased flow of blood and can also lead to pain, tingling or loss of sensation of the feet. Wounds, cuts, and blisters can cause severe infections.\n\"More than 30% of the newly diagnosed diabetics are smokers.\" Quitting smoking reduces the risk of getting diabetes and health complications, as smoking makes one more susceptible to high cholesterol levels, oscillating blood sugar levels, kidney disorders leading to dialysis nerve damage from diabetes foot ulcers and amputation of toes. Alcohol consumption can cause fluctuations in the blood glucose levels, leading to rising when consumed and then a drop after a short span of time. Although, drinking a moderate amount of alcohol with food doesn't have a significant effect on the blood sugar level.\nHello all, here every one is sharing these kinds of knowledge, so it's fastidious to read this blog, and I used to pay a visit this blog all the time." |
"Historically, men have been hesitant to seek medical attention when something with their health seems awry. Additionally, men aren't as likely as women to have preventive screenings and checkups with their health care provider. This is a problem, because early detection of a medical issue is the best way to improve effectiveness of condition treatment and management. In fact, delaying or avoiding a checkup or screening can lead to a treatable situation turning deadly.\nSo, men, reconsider your reservations about the doctor's office and ensure you talk to your health care team about the following potentially life-saving screenings.\nMen older than 50 should have a yearly physical exam, and men younger than age 50 should have a physical exam every three to five years. Even if you're feeling healthy, a regular checkup with your provider is a good way to validate your health or identify a problem in its early stages.\nAnother thing to think about: Health isn't only physical. Talk to your provider about your mental and emotional health as well. If you're struggling in those areas, effective help is available.\nFor men between 65 and 75 who've smoked more than 100 cigarettes in their lifetime, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends a one-time abdominal aortic aneurysm screening ultrasound. According to Mayo Clinic, an abdominal aortic aneurysm is an enlarged area in the lower part of the aorta, the major blood vessel that supplies blood to the body. Because the aorta is the body's main supplier of blood, a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm can cause life-threatening bleeding.\nMen over 60 with family history of abdominal aortic aneurysm should consider regular screening.\nA blood pressure reading is a good indication to many aspects of your health. High blood pressure can lead to many physical problems, especially associated with the heart. You should have your blood pressure checked at least every two years. However, talk to your health care provider about having it checked more frequently if you have high blood pressure or are at risk of developing high blood pressure.\nLike high blood pressure, high cholesterol may pose serious risks to your health and well-being. Starting at 18 years old, men at average risk for heart disease should have a cholesterol screening every five years. If you have a family history of high cholesterol or heart attacks, smoke, eat a poor diet, are overweight, have diabetes, are physically inactive or older than 45, you may need more frequent testing.\nIf you're older than 45 or have a body mass index above 25, no matter your age, the American Diabetes Association recommends you be screened for diabetes. Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes symptoms can happen slowly and may not be noticeable, so staying aware of your blood sugar levels and risk of developing diabetes is important.\nColon cancer screening should begin at age 50 or 10 years prior to the diagnosis of colon cancer in an immediate relative. For example, get screened at age 36 if your mother was diagnosed at age 46. A colonoscopy is a traditional and effective procedure to identify colon cancer or precancerous polyps. A more recent non-invasive option available is Cologuard, a take- home test to screen for colon cancer. Talk to your doctor about which option is best for you.\nMany organizations advise men to be screened for prostate cancer starting at age 50. However, the subject is somewhat controversial, so the best course of action is to discuss what's best for you with your health care team.\nDo yourself and your family a favor by protecting your long-term health with regular appointments and screenings.\nJoseph Gee, M.D., is a Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato family physician." |
"You had a procedure called a renal angiography. This imaging test checks the blood vessels in your kidneys. This procedure used a thin, flexible tube called a catheter. The catheter is inserted into one of your blood vessels through a small cut or incision. A dye is injected to make your blood vessels show up better on X-ray images. Then X-ray pictures are taken. Here's what to do at home following this procedure.\nDo only light and easy activities for 2 to 3 days after the procedure.\nAvoid strenuous activity for 2 weeks after the procedure.\nExercise according to your healthcare provider's recommendations.\nYou can shower the day after your procedure. But don't swim or sit in a bath or hot tub until your incision has healed.\nUnless told otherwise, drink 6 to 8 glasses of water a day. This will prevent fluid loss or dehydration. It will also help flush the X-ray dye out of your body.\nTake your temperature and check your incision for signs of infection every day for a week. Check for redness, swelling, or warmth at the incision site.\nBreak the smoking habit. Join a stop-smoking program to improve your chances of success." |

"When will I be invited for a mammogram?\nIf you are between the ages of 50 and 70 you will be invited for breast screening every three years as part of the National Breast Screening programme.\nYour name will be taken from our patient list and you will be sent an invitation for a mammogram. This may not happen in the year you turn 50 but will happen by the time you are 53. Once you have reached 70 you can continue to have mammograms every three years on request by referring yourself to the breast screening unit.\nIt is important to remember that you will still need to be breast aware even when you are taking part in the breast screening programme.

"High testosterone levels links to heart problems, blood clots, scientist warned.\nThe researchers found that in men, high natural testosterone was clearly associated with a higher risk of blood clots, heart failure and heart attack.\nThe same associations were far less obvious in women, who have very low levels of testosterone.\nHowever, they were unable to prove whether testosterone directly causes the heart conditions – and have called for further trials.\nResearchers at the City University of New York and the University of Hong Kong led the study, published in the British Medical Journal.\nThey analysed data from 400,000 men and women, aged 40 to 75 years, from an existing study and the UK Biobank database.\nThe researchers concluded testosterone 'is detrimental for thromboembolism, heart failure, and myocardial infarction, especially in men'.\nAnd they say further evidence is needed to clarify whether the findings are relevant to the higher rates of these diseases in men than in women.\nThey also suggest that it may be worth considering whether existing treatments that lower testosterone could help protect against these conditions." |
"Why is Elevated Estrogen Such a Disaster for Men?\nIf estradiol is so good for women, shouldn't the same be true for men? Well, here's some stunning information: men and women are different!\nIn men, if estrogen is too high, the risk of coronary artery disease increases. This is the opposite effect in women. Estrogen in men increases clotting factors which lead to blood clots. Estradiol in women increases substances that dissolve blood clots. Estradiol in men constricts coronary arteries that can cause heart attacks, while in women, estradiol dilates the arteries around the heart and protects the heart.\nElevated estradiol in men also causes fatigue, erectile dysfunction, and poor concentration. Elevated estradiol may result from the administration of testosterone. Too much estradiol is not good. Most men feel good with a level of estradiol of 35 pg/ml. A range of 25 pg/ml up to 45 pg/ml is acceptable. This is why having your estradiol checked with each office visit at least every three months is important." |

If your percent value is less than 5.7% you are normal. If your percent value is equal to or greater than 5.7% but less than 6.5% you are pre diabetic. If the percent value is equal to or above 6.5% you are diabetic.\nThe second test is the fasting plasma glucose test (FPG.) Less than 100 mg/dl is normal. If it is equal to or greater than 100 mg/dl but below 126 mg/dl you are pre diabetic. If it is equal to or greater than 126 mg/dl you are diabetic.\nThe third test is the oral glucose tolerant test ( OGTT. ) If your blood glucose is less than 140 mg/dl you are normal. If greater than 140 mg/dl but less than 200 mg/dl you are pre diabetic. If you are equal to or greater than 20 mg/dl you are diabetic.\nA Diabetologist can interpret these results, from your specific test results and history, to determine whether you are normal, pre diabetic or diabetic.\nPlease check with the American Diabetes Association if a Diabetologist is not available in your area." |
"My wt is 103kg my hight is 5.8 Does that mean Iam approveing the danger zone of daibets or already Iam in it?\nThank you for trusting your health concern to us.\nPostprandial glucose test must show a result under 160 in order to be considered as normal.\nHowever, figures less than 180 mg/dL can also consider normal too.\nThis test is not enough to determine if you have diabetes or not. You must run other tests like fasting glucose test, HbA1c, and glucose tolerance test.\nThe blood glucose level may vary because of diet too. My first opinion is that you do not have diabetes. Blood glucose levels 140-199 mg/dl after eating carbs is considered pre-diabetes. However, if you have consumed a large meal, we cannot say it for sure.\nTry to better control the glucose levels and your hypertension. Losing weight is very important in controlling hyperglycemia.\nDo the fasting glucose test first then the result will determine if you need to repeat the fasting test or if you will do other tests like HbA1c.\nHypertension drugs also affect the blood glucose levels so please take care to take these drugs only as your doctor has prescribed to you." |
"Cholesterol levels in the blood above normal are called hypercholesterolemia. This condition will cause many diseases such as atherosclerosis, heart disease and stroke. One way to prevent this disease is by fasting. Therefore, this study aims to determine the effect of fasting on cholesterol levels. This research is an experiment with Complete Random Design (CRD) method. The experimental animals used were mice aged 8-10 weeks and weight 23-26 grams. The treatment given is (A) not fasting as a control, (B) fasting Monday-Thursday, (C) fasting Daud. The treatment was given for 36 days then the blood of the mice was taken and cholesterol levels were measured. The data obtained were then analyzed using one way ANOVA SPSS statistical program with a significance level of 5%. The results showed that the sig value > 0.05, which means that the fasting Monday-Thursday and Daud did not affect the cholesterol levels of mice." |
