Euphrasian Basilica
Top choice in Poreč
Getty Images/Lonely Planet Images
Top billing in Poreč goes to the 6th-century Euphrasian Basilica, a World Heritage Site and one of Europe's finest intact examples of Byzantine art. Built on the site of a 4th-century oratory, the complex includes a church, an atrium and a baptistery. The glittering 6th-century mosaics in the apse of the church are the highlights. The belfry, accessed through the octagonal baptistery, affords an intimate view of the old town.
Gazing at the mosaics, note how Jesus and the Apostles on the top row are balanced by a set of 12 female saints in the arch, with the Lamb of God at their apex. The main group, in the curve of the apse itself, is centred on the Madonna and Child flanked by angels, saints and Bishop Euphrasius (to the left, holding a model of the church), who commissioned the basilica. Beneath the mosaics, the sanctuary is enclosed by beautifully inlaid marble arranged in geometric patterns. Also note the capitals of the columns supporting the Romanesque arches of the nave; each matched pair is different, carved with birds, flowers and fruit.
Make sure to pop into the adjacent Bishop's Palace, which contains a display of ancient stone sculptures, religious paintings and 4th-century mosaics from the original oratory.

Man Armed With Chainsaw, Ax Kills Woman At Minsk Shopping Center
October 08, 2016 16:11 GMT
By RFE/RL's Belarus Service
Belarusian police in a cordoned-off area at the Minsk shopping center where the deadly incident took place
A young man armed with an ax and a chainsaw has attacked people at a shopping center in Belarus's capital, killing one woman and injuring another.
Officials told RFE/RL's Belarus Service that the October 8 attack took place at the Europa shopping center in central Minsk.
Police later arrested the suspect, described as a 17-year-old man from Belarus.
They said surveillance video showed the attacker had brought the chainsaw and the axe to the shopping center in a guitar case.
Authorities said the wounded woman, who is 46 years old, was being treated at a hospital in Minsk after receiving ax blows to her chest and shoulder.
Police did not immediately comment on a suspected motive for the attack.

RFE/RL's Belarus Service is one of the leading providers of news and analysis to Belarusian audiences in their own language. It is a bulwark against pervasive Russian propaganda and defies the government's virtual monopoly on domestic broadcast media.

Earlier this week in her blog Managing Product Development, Johanna Rothman shares a story about a colleague who just learned that his boss reads his email. Does your manager read your email? How does that feel? Is this productive — or destructive?


Our highly trained office manager. She has ten years of front desk dental experience, and twenty years of customer service and management experience. Tamara knows the ins and outs of every dental plan so she can help you with all your insurance needs and questions. She enjoys singing karaoke, baking, cake decorating and working.She's been a Godsend!
Our youngest hygienist but she is wise beyond her years. She is a GREAT hygienist- extremely gentle and thorough. We liked her right away as do all the patients! She recently bought a house in the area!
Another one of our great hygienists and she's been practicing hygiene for 7 years. She comes from a dental family so be assured she knows all about teeth! Patients are loving her gentle touch and great chairside manner.
Our newest hygienist has worked withus on and off for the past four years filling in for our hygienists when they've gone on vacation. She is great! We are so glad she is with us full time. She is a very gentle and thorough hygienist and fits in nicely with our office.
She is extremely gentle and is very helpful to the entire staff especially during a busy day. She very outdoorsy- camping, dirtbiking hiking and hunting. She is truly indispensible and very personable.
Our newest assistant. She went straight to dental assistant's school right out of high school and is very accomplished for being so new to the field. She recently got a new car for Christmas and loves spending time with her family and friends.
We have a wonderful staff here. Look for us in the community!


AS a producer, Piero Pirupa isn't one who sticks to the same formula.
Hi Piero, thanks for talking to us today. You've had a busy start to 2019 with touring and releasing music, what have been your highlights so far?
January was super – I had an amazing US tour: played for the first time in Utah, Salt Lake City and it went off, San Francisco, Miami, Orlando with Max Chapman for Kaluki Showcase and El Paso. All the gigs were amazing with great crowds, I wasn't expecting it – the scene in America has grown a lot in the past months. I ended the month playing at Amnesia Milan and for the guys behind Kappa Futur Festival in Turin, both gigs were amazing, I love to play for them. February started with Fabrik Madrid and was one for the books, what a club. Hell yeah, it was a great start of the new year, unbelievable.
You've played shows in the US, Italy and Spain already and now you're coming to London to play at EGG, how do you find the travelling? What tips would you recommend to get through tough travel schedules?
Eat and drink good, healthy food if you can, and don't stress a lot – just enjoy the traveling and the gigs. When I started touring many years ago I was more anxious, eating loads of fast food and getting drunk so many times during my gigs and it wasn't good for my body and soul, I was a rookie. Now, in the past 3/4 years I totally changed my mindset, I've become more professional and take care more of my body and soul – I know my limits very well and don't want to risk it any more, I just control myself 100%.
What are your experiences of playing in London? Can you tell us a fond memory you have of the place?
I remember I played b2b with Riva Starr at EGG in 2013, we did 10 hours back to back, it was a crazy session – I was fucked up, I was a kid, I went to dance many times in the dance floor while I was playing and other crazy stuff. But it was really an unforgettable night.
London has a long history with underground dance music, are there any other cities which have had a big impact on you as an artist and you career?
London and the UK in general help me a lot; I learnt a lot from UK DJs and producers, all the 90s scene and early 2000, from Underworld to Carl Cox, from The Chemical Brothers to Groove Armada. But there are other cities that influenced me a lot too, like New York, Chicago and Detroit – the whole US scene gave me a lot and then there's Ibiza where I spent many summers in order to listen to my favourite DJs.
You've been playing shows off the back of a big release with Leon – 'Our Sound' has been all over the radio and received great support – are there any particular DJs you look to get support and feedback from, who do you look up to?
Depends on the releases I make – I don't only do tech house, but also house, techno, minimal… I just try to take as much support as possible by doing different styles of music because I wish I was supported by everyone.
'Our Sound' is just one of many examples of your varied production styles. How do you decide what style you're going for? Does it occur naturally in the studio or do you spend time planning it out?
Even here it depends, I alternate between sessions where I am inspired and where I already have an idea in mind to be developed, while other times it is all natural, at random… Just follow the flow and the vibes.
Are there any future releases you can tell us about, what do you have coming up?
I've got some releases coming in the next few months – an EP on Solotoko, Sonny Fodera's label, which is two tech house cuts coming the end of February. March I'm back on Crosstown Rebels/Rebellion in collaboration with Alex Kennon, also with two great house / deep tech cuts.
Catch Pirupa at EGG tonight. For more information click HERE.

This is considered an epic spot in the world of surfing. Kuta Beach is where surfing began in Bali with its white sands and amazing palm trees. Today it is a world-renowned resort city in Indonesia.

You Crack Me Up* is the most fantastic green glitter. I expected this to take a million coats to reach opacity, but it has a thicker consistency than I thought and it only needed 2/3 (depending on how fussy you are about patches). Shown with Gelish - Top It Off*.
Baby It's Bold Outside* is the perfect navy creme, and is also a shade that can be worn all year round. This was 2 very easy coats, with Gelish - Top It Off*.
As Baby It's Bold Outside* was such a striking colour, I decided it would be perfect to showcase Silver In My Stocking*, the glitter topper of the collection. I didn't expect to like this shade, as I don't normally like shard glitters, but this works really well and definitely reminds me of snow! I did need some placement of the glitter, but that's to be expected.
Plum-Thing Magical* is a truly stunning plum shimmer, and as I mentioned above it's my definite favourite from the collection. These photos don't do it justice, it shimmers in the light and ah I'm in love. I'm sure you'll be seeing this one again on my blog! This was 2 very easy coats with Gelish - Top It Off*.
Don't Toy With My Heart* is also stunning, and it's perfect for Christmas. I also love that with the white bottle it looks extra Christmassy! This was 2 easy coats with Gelish - Top It Off*.
Dreaming of Gleaming* is a silver metallic shade. This was 2/3 coats depending on application, but I think you'd be better off with 3. Shown with Gelish - Top It Off*.
Just Tutu Much* is a metallic gold with a very similar consistency to Dreaming of Gleaming*. Again, this was 2/3 coats, but you'd be better off with 3. Shown with Gelish - Top It Off*.
Overall I'm very impressed with the collection, it's such a great range for Christmas, and I'm sure there will be plenty of happy clients in salons around the country!
You can currently get the whole collection on the Nail Harmony UK website with a free travel case and poster, so if you like the look of them, don't miss out!
What do you think? Have you tried the new Gelish bottles yet?
Wow, some of these are absolutely gorgeous. Do you have any recommendations on a gel starter kit?
Pretty sure I need that green in my life!

Full Mouth Restorations in Woodland Hills by Dan P. Hilton, D.D.S.
The goal of a full mouth rehabilitation plan is to optimize the health of your entire mouth, including the teeth, the gums, and the bite. In some cases, it is necessary to replace or restore every tooth in the mouth using a combination of dental services. Dr. Hilton is an experienced restorative, and cosmetic dentist. His training and knowledge allow him to perform complex full-mouth reconstructions at our Woodland Hills dental practice with beautiful results.
Many full mouth rehabilitation cases involve all teeth in the mouth, but every case is unique and depends on your clinical situation. The examination process requires X-rays and photographs, impressions of your upper and lower teeth, models of your teeth that are made from the impressions and a model of your bite. Once we have obtained all information relevant to your case, we will develop a complete, step-by-step treatment plan to correct all of the problems in your mouth and complete your rehabilitation.
If you require a full arch of teeth replaced, dental implants are a great, permanent solution that also provides direct stimulation to your jawbone. Proper stimulation of your jaw from natural tooth roots or dental implant posts prevents your jawbone density from diminishing. Bone loss can make you look older and make it harder to get dental implants later.
Prior to dental implants, there were no fixed solutions available for people who lost all their teeth. Today, it is possible to substitute a full jaw with dental implants and a fixed bridge resulting in a permanent, stable and attractive smile. Full mouth rehabilitation will last a lifetime and let you eat and drink normally, and feel very much like your own teeth. If you would like to request a dental implant consultation, contact us today in Woodland Hills, and we can help you decide if this procedure is right for you.

The Surrogate Eye: Peter Campus's new videos
by Hearne Pardee
Peter Campus: Calling for Shantih at Cristin Tierney
546 West 29th Street, between 10th and 11th avenues
New York City, (212) 594-0550

Early photographers with artistic ambitions sometimes blurred their images in order to imitate the effects of painting. Alfred Stieglitz, however, established the modern practice of art photography when he chose instead to develop the camera's capacity for high definition of texture and detail. In his hands, technology, pushed beyond mere copying, revealed new aspects of familiar things and, he believed, allowed the unconscious to express itself. While Peter Campus's new videos move in the direction of painting, they also extend this modernist endeavor to heighten perception and psychologically engage the viewer.
The seven works in "Calling for Shantih" seem deliberately pixilated – slowed down and broken up into shifting, rectangular blocks that look like overlapping brushstrokes. Campus's stationary camera focuses in extended shots on single, everyday subjects; internally layered and blended, their effect is one of dense, saturated color and meditative calm. But the images are hardly static; they draw us in and dislodge us from our conventional visual moorings.
Displayed on stripped-down flat screen TVs, these videos focus on utilitarian scenes near the artist's home on Long Island – boats at rest or docking, a power station, a barn – accompanied by ambient sounds. The subjects recall Seurat's pointillist paintings of the working port of Honfleur. But just as Seurat applied scientific logic to decompose his images and then rebuilt them piece by piece, Campus uses the digital toolbox to dissect and orchestrate the input from his camera. Each video is repeatedly edited in multiple layers, which are abstracted into mosaics of color, into seemingly improvisatory grids of rectangles. When recombined, the grids overlap unevenly, and the rectangles become translucent scrims, which gradually change in hue, allowing different colors to emerge and then to blend back into their surroundings. There's a primitive fascination to these living images, which seem to breathe, and to respond to the normal movements of our eyes.

The layered rectangular units also recall the primordial modernist rectangles that Mondrian applied to his early studies of sand dunes and ocean. They contribute an expressive inflection to architectural subjects such as "Cable Station at Orient Point", where they seem to extend the outstretched arms of the building and enhance its monumentality. In "Fishing Boats at Shinnecock Bay" they resemble piled up cargo containers. This weighty architecture seems to resist the flow of time, but change is ongoing – shadows deepen, boats dock, and water flows. In "Dusk at Shinnecock Bay" time makes itself visible in more than one way – most obviously in the flow of the tide across the frame, yet more subtly in the slow-changing colors around the buildings on the distant shore – movement through space accompanies change over time. The modulating pixels suggest the stream of Heraclitus, into which Campus dips at will via digital editing.
The video camera enables the videographer to step outside of his one-on-one relation to his subject; in an early statement, Campus called it a "surrogate eye" and coined the term "durational perception" for the way the arrangement of camera and monitor objectifies the visual process. His works of the 1970s explored this concept in a literal way, disrupting the conventional relationship between camera and subject, as in installations where viewers confronted their images distorted or upside down. Now, Campus finds this sort of hyper-perception in the editing process, which frees him to slow down and re-orchestrate a period of observation. If there's an implication of higher consciousness in all this (Shantih, I was told, is the name of his cat), there's also something poignant in Campus's slowing of time and his intimate articulation of its relentless flow.


How to Handle Winter Salt and Stratification in Your Liquid Fertilizer Tank - Heartland Tank Services, Inc.
The winter cold is starting to break, and you are preparing to use various starters and liquid fertilizers for the upcoming agricultural season. Liquid fertilizer that has sat in aboveground storage tanks through a cold winter is not exactly the same as when it was placed in the tank. Cold temperatures can have two possible effects on liquid fertilizer: stratification and/or salting out.
Stratification results in pockets of varying product concentrations within an aboveground storage tank. With cold temperatures, some liquid fertilizers will salt out, leaving the product in your tank in a combination of salted product and liquid product. The salted product can cause big headaches in the field by clogging sprayers, planters, and applicators.
The main liquid fertilizers that salt out at lower temperatures are 32% nitrogen solution and ammonium thiosulfate. Ammonium thiosulfate salts out 45° F while 32% nitrogen solution salts out at 31-32° F. Other concentrations of nitrogen solution have lower salt out temperatures: 30% salts out at 15° F and 28% salts out at 0° F.
Is there product salt in your storage tanks? 'Maybe' is the answer if you stored 32% nitrogen solution or ammonium thiosulfate in aboveground storage tanks through the winter. The amount of salt varies based on the average winter temperatures, fullness of the tank, and exterior color of the tank.
With either stratification or salting out of liquid fertilizer in a tank, the remedy is the same.
When the agricultural season starts, the liquid fertilizer stored over the winter is still cool. With products that salt out, particularly 32% nitrogen solution, it is important to not circulate the product during the winter months or the early spring months when the product is still cool. Doing so can result in the salt crystals cutting the tank's internal liner and salt being pumped out, causing havoc with sprayers and applicators.
To turn the product salt back into solution or to de-stratify a tank of liquid fertilizer, the product in the tank needs to be drawn down to approximately half full. Drawing down the tank can be done in the early spring despite chilly temperatures. The salt sinks to the bottom of the tank. Thus, good liquid fertilizer product can still be extracted from the tank without interference of the salt. A stratified tank has the denser, fully concentrated product at the bottom of the tank, so you can be assured that the product you are drawing out is quality strength.
Mother Nature's help is required next. Five to seven days of sixty to seventy degree temperatures with sun directly on the tank is needed. This is to increase the temperature of the product in the storage tank. Increased temperature of the liquid fertilizer decreases the viscosity of the liquid (product will mix faster) and promotes faster dissolution of the salt.
If you have a PVC internal tank liner, this period of warm weather on the tank is even more crucial if there is salt in the storage tank. The salt crystals can be very sharp and can cut the liner if cold product with salt is circulated. For tanks with liners, a solid seven days of warm temperatures is preferred before circulating the product in the tank.
After the aboveground storage tank has been drawn down and exposed to warm temperatures, circulating the product in the tank is the final step. Pull the liquid fertilizer product out through the tank suction and pump it back through the inlet. Let this circulation process continue to run for twenty-four to forty-eight hours with regular supervision. This makes the product in the tank spin and churn, returning the salt to usable liquid fertilizer solution and creating a consistent concentration of product.
If you have a sparge system in your tank, the better process to churn the product for dissolving salt is still through using the suction and inlet connections on the tank. Most sparge systems simply mix the liquid product without churning the salt on the tank bottom.
Now that the product salt has been dissolved and the product thoroughly mixed, you are ready to use or sell the rest of your liquid fertilizer supply.
While it is almost impossible to prevent any salting of 32% nitrogen solution or ammonium thiosulfate, steps can be taken to minimize how much salt is in your tank after winter. First, paint the external portion of the tank a dark color, such as black, dark blue, or dark green. Dark colors absorb more light wavelengths and convert them to heat. This one step will increase the internal temperature of the tank product by eight to ten degrees compared to a light tank exterior.
Second, store the product in larger quantities. The larger the tank full of product, the slower the temperature of the product as a whole will drop in winter. A tank with a capacity of a million gallons or larger is best to store salt-prone liquid fertilizers. A tangent concept is to fill the tank with product before winter begins. This strategy ensures the tank and product are warmer and can better retain the heat within the tank.
Finally, location plays a key role in how to store salt-prone products. A general rule of thumb is that if a tank storing 32% nitrogen solution or ammonium thiosulfate is located north of U.S. Interstate I-80, the capacity of the tank should be at least one million gallons and filled to capacity to store product through the winter. If the tank capacity is smaller, the product should be cut to 28% nitrogen solution, which has a lower salting out temperature of 0° F.

Attorney General Janet Mills says the scam and similar cons are "the most common complaint we receive"
Maine's attorney general says there is an increase in the number of state residents calling to report a phone scam in which someone pretends to be a debt collector with the Internal Revenue Service.
Attorney General Janet Mills says the scam and similar cons are "the most common complaint we receive." She reminds residents they should not give credit card information to these callers, and they should hang up the phone immediately.
Mills says her officer received 61 contacts from Maine residents on Dec. 3 about the scam. Mills says the scammers can rig caller identification systems to make it appear the call is coming from Washington, D.C., when it is not.


John Lydgate is arguably the most significant poet of fifteenth-century England, yet his position as Chaucer's literary successor and his role as a Lancastrian poet have come to overshadow his contributions to English literature. Here, "fame" is identified as the key to Lydgate's authorial self-fashioning in Chaucer's wake. The author begins by situating Lydgatean fame within the literary, cultural and political landscape of late-medieval England, indicating how Lydgate diverges from Chaucer's treatment of the subject by constructing a more confident model of authorship, according to which poets are the natural makers and recipients of fame. She then discusses the ways in which Lydgate draws on fourteenth-century poetry, the advisory tradition, and the laureate ideology borne out of trecento Italy; she shows that he deploys them to play upon reader anxieties in his short poems on dangerous speech, while depicting poets as the ultimate arbiters of fame in his longer poems and dramatic works.
Throughout, the book challenges standard critical positions on questions relating to how poets fit into late-medieval society, how they can be powerful enough to admonish princes, and how English letters fare next to the literature of the continent and of antiquity.
How did you become interested in the writings of John Lydgate?
It all started with Shakespeare's history plays. As an undergraduate, I was fascinated by the events dramatized in his 'Henriad' (Richard II, Henry IV 1 & 2, and Henry V), and that led me to my postgraduate work on the history and literature of England in the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries. It's a fascinating period, both politically speaking and in terms of literary production. Richard II is dethroned in 1399, and the new Lancastrian regime immediately has to set about legitimizing itself in the eyes of observers in England and abroad. Within a year, a momentous event in English literary history occurs: Geoffrey Chaucer dies. Over the course of the following century, he is praised, imitated, and mourned by every ambitious poet in England. Lydgate is really at the centre of both of these movements: he's extremely active as a Lancastrian poet, and is the foremost Chaucerian poet of the fifteenth century. These two roles make him a crucial actor in medieval England's literary history.
Your book argues that Lydgate, who wrote for many different patrons, was a poet who could 'aid his patrons not only by responding to the political pressures of fame, but by generating good fame for his employers and, ultimately, for himself.' Was he, in a sense, a kind of PR person for the stars of the 15th century?
He certainly wrote on behalf of several of fifteenth-century England's political stars—the Earl of Warwick, Humphrey duke of Gloucester, and even Henry V. And his verse performed a lot of the same functions that might be performed by modern-day PR: it celebrated his patrons' achievements, grappled with the illegitimacy of the Lancastrian dynasty, and painted a picture of political continuity and progress. But the relationship between literature and power was conceived of rather differently in the Middle Ages from the way we conceive of it now. One of the points my book makes is that, in writing poetry of this nature, Lydgate is in fact consciously participating in a longstanding literary tradition that viewed poetry as a natural vehicle for fame. What we might be inclined to interpret as 'mere' publicity is, in Lydgate's eyes, a supremely literary feat.
You have a wide range of interests in medieval studies – you are also coming out with a book on The Culture of Inquisition in Medieval England, and a couple of years ago you co-created an exhibition at the Getty Museum on 'Temptation and Salvation: The Psalms of King David'. What drives your interest in doing these various projects?
My research has always been highly interdisciplinary—I'm convinced that the best way to learn about (and teach!) medieval literature is to situate it within its cultural contexts. Even though my interests in medieval studies range widely, my overall goal is to link medieval texts to the needs, fears, and desires that produced them. The Getty exhibition was a terrific opportunity to show the public how illustrated manuscripts of the Psalms not only recorded them as text, but also depicted key episodes from Biblical history and devotional life upon which readers might meditate. My forthcoming volume on inquisition (which I co-edit with Katie Walter) investigates how a change in legal procedure transformed textual production for several centuries. My hope is that my book on Lydgate will make clear that one cannot understand his authorial role unless one understands the multitude of roles played by fame in the literary, political, and legal history of medieval England.

Keywords are important to website owners because using the right keywords (i.e. words people are searching for) contributes to visitorship or a website's traffic.
However, when determining how to use keywords in your website, you must refrain from leaning towards keyword stuffing – loading your page/post with too many keywords to a point that your content doesn't add value to the visitor or simply doesn't make sense.
Before you learn how to use keywords in your content, you need to understand what keywords are, what keywords you can use in your niche, whether people are looking for those keywords.
Firstly, keywords are simply words or phrases people type into the bar of search engines such as Google, Bing or Yahoo in their search for answers to various issues.
The difference between broad and specific (also known as long tail keywords) for you as website owner is that the former may be more competitive, meaning that it might be harder for your website to get placed in the first page of SERPs (search engine results pages).
The essence of using keywords in your website content is to get ranked in the first page of search engines so that people will find your website and visit it. But if your website is not in the first page of the search results, then your website is unlikely to get 'seen' by people looking for that particular keyword because generally people hardly bother to look at the second and subsequent pages of the search results. Just ask yourself, as a person whose looking for some information using search engines, how often do you look up the second and subsequent pages of search results? Hardly? Me too!
Just to give you a background information on online searches – 85 percent of Internet users (currently standing at more than 1.4 billion) use search engines to look for information, product reviews, etc. Out of these, more than 70 percent will use Google to do their searches.
This is the reason why we should pay attention to HOW and WHAT people search for in Google. As website owners, we want to capitalize on what we know about people's behaviour in Google and create content such that it not only bring benefits to visitors but also to us, in terms of traffic and conversions.
Getting traffic this way (visitors coming to your websites after finding you in the higher rankings of SERPs) is called organic traffic. This is good traffic as you don't pay for anything – perhaps just your time in researching keywords and organising your content around those keywords.
Apart from knowing what people are looking for in search engines, you must also understand the concept of "competition" in keyword search. This means knowing the number of other web pages having the same keywords which have already been indexed by Google.
The basic rule about using keywords in your content is to look for those terms which are high in the number of searches and low in competition.
Now, using Google Instant, as shown in the above diagram, is one way you can get ideas on what people are looking for in this search engine. In the above example, as you type in "interior decor ideas" you are also shown other searches that people are interested in. Yes, these are real search terms people type into Google. What that does for you is it gives you an idea of the list of keywords you can use in your content.
However, you can't be using all the keywords related to a particular topic. So how do you find the most appropriate?
You need to look at your "competition" for the same keyword you have chosen to use.
If you look at the search term "interior decor ideas" above, you would notice that Google also gives you the 15,300,000 results (highlighted in yellow) – that's the number of competiting pages using the exact keyword "interior decor ideas" or related term.
Google shows you 778,000 results which point to your competition. That's just too many web pages for you to be competiting with. There are different opinions on what's the best number of competition to go for but as a general rule, go for those with 50,000 results or less.
The more specific you are in your keyword term, the lower the competition will be but you must also balance this with the number of keyword searches because this reflects the 'popularity' of that keyword and how interested people are in searching for it.
How Many Searches Are There For Your Keyword?
Using Google Instant can give you ideas on your competition. But you also want to know how many searches there are for the keyword you want to use.
A free tool you might want to use for this purpose is the Google Keyword Planner.
You can go to Google Adwords – Then from the top menu, click on "Tools" and select "Keyword Planner" from the drop-down menu. Next, you choose the "search for new keywords using a phrase, website or category".
If you type in "interior decor ideas", you would get something like the above results.
Now, analysing the table above, you would note that there are hundreds of searches for "home decor ideas" but the competition is "medium". Looking at "bedroom decor" there are more than 70,000 searches and the competition is low. This gives me the idea that if I were to choose home interior niche for my website, I might focus on bedroom decor instead of the whole house.
Of course, I would then have to dig deeper into the exact keywords that I can use to match the products that I want to promote in the website.
The point here is that you can make use of Google Instant and the Keyword Planner to search for keywords that you can use in your website.
OK, now that you've got a list of keywords that you're thinking to use on your website. The question is how to properly use them.
Earlier in this post, I mentioned keyword stuffing – something you should stay away from. However, that's not saying you can't use more than one keyword term in the same post – for instance, you can use "interior decor ideas" and "interior decor ideas for your bedroom".
However, you must exercise discretion and don't ever lose sight that you are building your website not only as a business but also as a reliable source of information for your visitors. You want your content to make sense and your website be the "go to" place for people before they make any informed decision.
Personally, in an article of about 1000 words, I'd incorporate three keyword terms with one or two variations.
How to Get Your Keywords to Rank?
Most times, an easier way to do keyword search is to go for paid keyword search tool. As a member of Wealthy Affiliate, however, I get to use the incorporated keyword tool which gives me information on number of keyword searches per month, competition, PPC, etc.
This certainly reduces the time in your search for keywords.
Thing about Goolge algorithm is that it is made up of many factors, not to mention that it's subject to change.
Having said that however, a simple rule to follow is to go for those search terms which may not have too many searches but have very low competition.
Well written and highly informative piece on keywords and how to use them properly. Keyword placement can be a difficult task to perform for beginners. This post deals nicely with the issue.
Appreciate your compliments Surbhi. I'm writing based on my own experience and the positive results that I get doing what I described. I hope it helps others as well!
This is a very good article. It is very helpful for the beginner. Alot of people building website don't have good information on building their site . A lot of people pay to learn what you have given for free. Awesome job!
Thanks Gloria. I agree that one of the most common issues for beginners is info overload. And my intention is to help such online marketers unclutter that and channel their energy on what's more important for their progress.


Arrived to 40 mph winds. Got partly set up when wind damages tent.
high wind setup. We go for lunch and find a harbor freight. Awesome.
hardest setup in my career. My face hurts still from the wind and cold.


At the top of my list is the Old Courthouse (officially the Middlesex County Building), the oldest, most historic building in Middlesex County. The building has of course changed a great deal since being completed about 1831. The jail was added in 1844 and major additions were added to the main building in 1878 and 1911. Despite the various additions and renovations, no other building in London - or the county, for that matter - has so much history. Prisoners were kept in the basement "dungeon" before the jail was built, there were numerous hangings, and the famous Donnelly trial took place in what's now the council chamber. London's "castle," based on Malahide Castle near Dublin, is the historic heart of London-Middlesex.
Built in 1883-84, the building at Dundas and Rectory began life as London East Town Hall. The following year, 1885, London East was annexed by the City of London, making the building redundant. An excellent example of adaptive reuse, it has served many purposes over the years including a grocery store, cigar factory, pool room, the City Welfare Department, and London's first branch library. It is now refurbished as a concert hall, providing excellent acoustics - and a great deal more atmosphere for concert goers than Centennial Hall.
London's oldest surviving house was built in 1834 by John Harris, treasurer of the London District. For many years Eldon House was the centre of London Society with young officers from the garrison courting the five Harris daughters and Col. Thomas Talbot dropping in from time to time. Three descendants of Harris - George, Robin and Lucy - donated the house, its contents and grounds to the City of London in 1960 to be used as a museum. It's still a great place to tour or attend a lecture about local history. Be sure to go one of their occasional Behind the Ropes Tours in which visitors get to see parts of the house not usually open to the public, including the rather creepy basement which may have belonged to an even earlier house.
Unlike some other buildings on my list, this one's not (yet) beautiful. The African Methodist Episcopal Church, or "Fugitive Slave Chapel," was built by London's fugitive slave community about 1848. Besides being a church, it was a centre of abolitionist activities, and John Brown may have addressed a meeting here to solicit support for the movement that led to the raid on Harper's Ferry in 1859. Eventually, the congregation built a new church at 430 Grey Street and old building became a home. After it was threatened by demolition, the folks in the Fugitive Slave Chapel Preservation Project moved the building to its present site beside its daughter church on Grey Street where restoration will hopefully be under way.
The first frame St. Paul's opened in 1834 but was destroyed in a fire ten years later. The new building, now London's oldest church, opened for worship in 1846. Toronto architect William Thomas, who also designed Brock's Monument at Queenston, created the new structure in the Gothic Revival style with a large tower at the west end and lots of pinnacles. A great many of us enjoy the gargoyles and other faces. Inside, visitors can find beautiful stained glass windows, including two signed by Tiffany. And when there's no service or concert taking place, the atmosphere is that of an old English country church - peaceful and timeless.
The imposing High Victorian building on Elmwood Avenue in Wortley Village was completed in 1900 as a normal school or teacher's college, the third such institution in Ontario. Dominating the structure is a fabulous open bell tower with arches. Currently being renovated to become the YMCA Youth Centre of Excellence, the building promises to be an educational centre for many years to come.
The company called Wright Lithographing was established in 1905 by John and George wright, originally on the east side of Wellington north of York. John, an engraver, and George, a lithographer, printed such diverse items as milk tickets, cigar bands, and limited edition lithograph prints. The building that today bears their name was built as a creamery but was purchased by London Life in 1906 to become the insurance company's new head office. It was London Life that added the third floor. Wright purchased the building in 1927 when London Life built its current headquarters. Interesting details on the building include this classical porch, unfortunately beginning to crumble.
I'm cheating here, because this is more than one building. At far left there's the two-storey white brick constructed to house a branch of the Bank of Upper Canada in 1836. It's said to be London's second brick building, the first being the Old Courthouse. Then there's the three-storey white brick terrace built in 1847, which, in its early years, also housed banks such as the Gore Bank. The carriageway is now enclosed by a door. The buildings look firm and solid, as banks should be. Next is Dr. Alexander Anderson's "Walmington House" which he used as an office and residence. Altogether, this row gives us an idea of what an Upper Canadian streetscape would have looked like. Except, of course, for the Farhi signs.
I add this in case people think I never like new buildings. Not so. I like stylish modern buildings that fit nicely into their location and are an improvement over whatever was demolished to build them. Since the earlier Covent Garden was looking rather tired, the new one, which opened in 1999, was sorely needed. Not only is it reminiscent of the building Paul Peel painted in 1883, but the space out front is suggestive of the open-air market founded in 1835. This is still one of downtown London's most appealing attractions.
I cherish the enormous wheel at a carnival, so I think the London Eye is a phenomenal method for getting a superior perspective of the city. At best you can see for miles and miles – at the top, the entire of London is laid out for you, similar to a session of Monopoly. A companion procured a private container for her birthday, so we were up there with the greater part of our mates, oohing and ahhing. It was phenomenal!
Actually, we are London, Ontario, Canada and we do not have a "London Eye," nor are we featured on a Monopoly Board. It's an interesting idea, though; if London, Ontario was to be a Monopoly game, I wonder where our most expensive and least expensive properties would be located?
You mentioned the Aeolian Hall having many uses in its past such as a cigar factory. That cigar factory belonged to my maternal grandfather, George E. Patrick.
My great-aunt, Hulda May Culbert attended Normal School the year after it opened.
And my paternal grandparents, Myron & Effie Culbert had a stall at Covent Garden. They made the trip once a week by horse and buggy from Lucan.
Thanks for keeping London's history alive on your blog.


Worst Home Updates for Your Money Single-Family – 71 Mission Rd Chelmsford, MA 01863 is now back on the market!
What will boost your home's value? You want to add a sunroom but will that bring in the biggest bang for your buck? How about a new bathroom? It's a common question that many homeowners ask. What will we get back when we sell? This can be a hard question to answer but luckily Bankrate.com and Remodeling Magazine has come up with a list of the worst home fixes for the money.
Here are the six improvements that ranked dead last nationally when it comes to getting those renovation dollars back at resale.
1.	A Home Office-The standard home office renovation is this year's biggest loser in the resale value sweepstakes. Nationally, homeowners spent an average of $28,888 and can expect to recoup about 45.8 percent at resale, according to the report. If you want to enjoy a home office opt for something that is easily converted back into a bedroom or den.
2.	Backup Generators-This only usually brings about negative thoughts like does this home loose power often? On average, when homeowners have a heavy-duty backup power generator installed, they spend about $14,718, according to the report. The average amount of the price recovered at resale time: 48.5 percent.
3.	A Sunroom-While the thought is sitting and enjoying a sunroom may sound lovely to you but the addition of a sunroom is often more than you can recoup. The national average for a sunroom addition is $75,224, according to the report. Homeowners can expect to recoup about 48.6 percent when they sell.
4.	A Master Suite-It is the price tag of this addition that can also leave sellers in the red. For a super-deluxe master suite addition — which adds square footage and uses only top-dollar materials — the average cost is about $232,062, according to the report. Sellers can expect to recover about 52.7 percent at resale.
5.	An Extra Bathroom-Wait kitchens and bathrooms sells houses or that's what people say. Bathroom additions are very expensive. For a moderately outfitted addition with synthetic stone or plastic laminate surfaces, plan on the cost about $21,695, according to the Remodeling report. Go upscale, with finishes like premium marble or fine tile, and you can easily spend in the neighborhood of $40,710. You can plan on a return of about 53 cents on the dollar.
Look for less-expensive way to get the same results. Try reconfiguring your existing space to add a bathroom for less.
6.	A Dream Garage-The price tag for a top-of-the-line detached two-car with all the trimmings is about $90,053, according to the report. This is a garage that is completely top-of-the-line. You can expect to recover about 53.6 percent of that when you sell. Instead go for function over form and stick the basic garage if you plan on a garage project.


The documentation team at the Syrian Revolutionary Gathering, said that they have documented the martyrdom of at least 193747 Syrians, since the beginning of the Syrian Revolution in March 2011 till March 2019.
Among the documented martyrs there were 14,892 civilians, 24,845 children, 17,464 women and 10,822 martyrs under torture.
The statistics include only martyrs who are documented by name.
According to the Gathering, Assad regime killed at least 163423 Syria since March 2011, while the Russian forces of aggression came in terms of cause of death, followed by ISIS.
Here are the martyrs broken down by perpetrators.


Combine half of the whipped topping with the pudding mix and skim milk. Mix for 2 minutes on the medium speed of a mixer. Set aside.
On a sheet of aluminum foil measuring 12" X 24", arrange 4 of the ice cream sandwiches in a line. Pour half of the pudding mixture over the top and spread evenly. Add another layer of pudding and repeat the process until you have used all the pudding mixture and ice cream sandwiches.
Using a long knife, spread the remaining whipped topping over the top and sides of the ice cream cake. Carefully fold up the edges of the aluminum foil, creating a block. Freeze the cake for at least 4 hours before slicing and serving. Store any leftovers in the freezer.

Q: Get value of IEnumerable without having to hardcode it I'm experimenting with adding a Razor page that will display Employees in all stores that belong under the same companies subgroup identifier. If I hard code the value .Contains("ABC") in var employees then I get a list of persons in that company and its subgroups. If I try to use var currentEmpSub, then I do not get my list. I'm not sure what I need to do (add another variable? fix my LINQ query? or something else). Any suggestions would be very helpful! Once I get this I will also do one for a manager view that will show only employees under the managers' store (instead of subgroup).
Setup is a many-to-many relationship with EFCore 5.0

        {
            var currentEmp = _httpContextAccessor.HttpContext?.User.GetUserId();

            var currentEmpTenant = await _context.Employees
                .Include(x => x.Tenants)
                .Where(e => e.AspUserId == currentEmp)
                .FirstAsync();

            var currentEmpSub = currentEmpTenant.Tenants
                .Select(x => x.SubName)
                .ToString();

            var employees = _context.Employees
                .IgnoreQueryFilters()
                .Include(t => t.Tenants)
                .Where(x => x.Tenants
                    .Select(sub => sub.SubName)
                    .Contains(currentEmpSub))
                .ToListAsync();
            return await employees;

                @foreach (var comp in emp.Tenants)
                {
                    if (emp.Tenants.Count > 1)
                    {
                        String.Join(", ", @comp.CompanyName);
                    }
                    else
                    {
                        @comp.CompanyName
                    }
                }

    }

            Employees = await _adminView.GetAllEmployees();
        }
    }

A: User @Ivan Stoev pointed out that by calling .ToString() produced a List. While it did not solve my problem it was an unintended side effect. I used .SingleOrDefault() on the end of currentEmpSub and obtained the result I was looking for.
**Note you can also use .Single() .First() .FirstOrDefault()
var currentEmpSub = currentEmpTenant.Tenants
                .Select(x => x.SubName)
                .SingleOrDefault();

McKinney CCO Oversimplifies, Publicis CEO Over-Complicates And Saatchi & Saatchi China Thinks Its Employees Are Wasteful
by Richard Whitman , Columnist, November 23, 2014
Hmm. McKinney Chief Creative Officer Jonathon Cude said: "Only two things matter: The work and the people who do it. It's that simple and it's that hard." But Publicis Worldwide CEO Arthur Sadoun says: "The only thing that really matters today for us is to understand how technology is impacting the business model of our clients and most of all, how it is impacting the consumer journey." While Cude's outlook is a bit simplistic, Sadoun's is filled with the kind of pointless fluff that is indicative of the ad industry's inability to accomplish the basics of marketing: create excitement and desire for a product that makes a person gravitate toward the cash register. Can we get back to that?
Well, here's an interesting idea. Saatchi & Saatchi China, beginning with Hong Kong, has instituted a policy whereby employees must leave the office by 6:45 p.m., at which time the lights and air conditioning are shut off. The effort is a move to increase productivity seemingly by ensuring employees get enough down time so they can be rested enough to tackle work without passing out. The policy will be put into motion just two days each month at first to see how it goes. Oh, and they're doing it to save electricity too. In what comes off as no less that in a giant slap in the face, a press release read: "Hong Kong agency people are among the worst when it comes to waste. As if being environmentally unfriendly wasn't bad enough, they are also prone to burning the midnight oil in the office."
Hey, Miller Lite reinvented itself. Now it's Corona Light's turn. The Constellation Brands-owned beer brand is looking for a new ad agency after having parted ways with Goodby Silverstein & Partners, which had handled the brand since 2011. It seems the brand has plans to up spending, so if you're into the whole tastes great, less filling category of marketing, this account might just be the one you've been searching for. Of the split, a Goodby statement read: "We enjoyed working with Constellation Brands over the past three years. Both parties agree that it's time for a change, and we wish them nothing but success in the years ahead."
So Vice Media dumped a creative director that everyone seemed to like. Creative Director Annette Lamothe-Ramos was shown the door late last week, but the move is a bit of a head-scratcher. One source told the New York Post, "Annette was well-liked and respected by virtually everybody who had the privilege to work with her. One of the best people at Vice. So it was a shock for that reason. But it also sent a message that nobody's job is safe." Vice Media, which has grown to prominence in recent years, was birthed in Montreal 20 years ago as a magazine and has grown into a large, Brooklyn-based digital news company that also creates advertising for several brands.
