Here's why IAF is sure Mirage 2000 hit Balakot target, killed terrorists

A source in the government spoke to MyNation, explaining how the Israeli SPICE 2000 smart bomb works
New Delhi: Amid claims and counterclaims over the proof of damage or casualty caused by the India's air strikes on Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) terror facility in Pakistan, sources have revealed that the weapon used by the Indian Air Force (IAF) intended to pierce through the building and cause damage on the ground instead of bringing the building down.
Sources told MyNation that the IAF had electronic evidence to prove that the strike carried out by Mirage 2000 equipped with SPICE 2000 satellite-guided bombs met their objective. The evidence, consisting of satellite and radar imagery, has been handed over to the government.
MyNation has learnt that the IAF used the penetrator variant of the weapon, which is designed to pierce buildings and structures but not necessarily bring them down.
A debate started after a report by a foreign news agency claimed that satellite images of the JeM madrassa Taa'leem al Qur'an in Balakot showed the facility was still intact and the buildings were standing even after the IAF airstrike.
The Reuters story is being used by Pakistan to push their anti-India propaganda. It is being used also by the opposition in India to target the Narendra Modi government.
A senior official said SPICE 2000 was designed not to blow an infrastructure but to cause internal damage, which is also a reason this is called a smart bomb. This laser-guided ammunition is intended to cause human casualties. The Balakot terror facility at the time of the airstrike was being used by terrorists, their trainers and top commanders and, therefore, significant damage must have been done.
A senior official said raising questions on the airstrike is part of an anti-India propaganda as those who have technical knowledge about these modern weapons also know about its use and damage.
Showing pictures of attack by the Israeli Air Force on an Iranian facility inside Syria, a senior officer said, "The attack was carried out where the Iranians were alleged to be storing weapons. Looking at the kind of damage the building has suffered, it is clear no one has survived. But the roof has not flown off as the blast wave has gone out of the doors and windows, which are the weaker structures of the building as compared to the roof. Something similar has happened in Balakot. Terrorists were definitely killed in the airstrike."
Proof of the Indian attack has become a major political issue in India, with several opposition parties asking for evidence of casualties. Pakistan, its media, and a section of the foreign media, have suggested that Indian jets missed the target.

Most of the activities in our life are a series of repetitive tasks. Look at what you do every day and realize that you are repeating the same things over and over again. Specific tasks may change on a daily basis, but if you look at them over a week they remain constant. From laundry and cleaning to eating and personal hygiene, the general activities we undertake define the life that we lead.
Our thoughts can follow the same pattern as our actions. Every day, most of our thoughts are the same as yesterday. In particular, thoughts that cause us anguish and despair tend to surface regularly. We find ourselves in a rut, unable to stop thinking about things that have gone wrong, or desires that are unfulfilled.
Understanding the repetitive nature of our life, it is easy to see how we can fail to progress. If the things that you think about regularly are not guiding you towards an ideal, then they tend to keep you where you are. Often, we create the very things that we wish to avoid. If you are not happy with your current situation, is it any wonder that staying in the same frame of mind can become tedious and depressing?
How does one begin the process of change? It is easy to identify the habits and thoughts that rule your life. However, when we try to change we find ourselves falling back habitually into the same repetitive actions and thoughts. It is almost like playing back a video and hoping that the movie has a different ending.
It is important to focus not on changing the old but creating the new.
Design your new life and then live by it. Choose something that you are going to do every day and then do it. Make it your utmost priority to repeat the same action daily and suddenly you will find that your chosen activity has become part of your life. Whether your self-improvement is on a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level, adding positive activities to your daily routine assists in changing your environment.
In the science of psychology, there is a practice called behavioral modification. Based on the theory that all behavior is learned, the patterns that we follow are the result of either reward or internal conflict. Some behavior is the response to stimuli, a regular reaction that we experience following a common event. Other behavior is based upon expectation of consequence. Some consequences are good, resulting in reinforcement of the behavior. Other consequences are undesirable, resulting in avoidance of a certain behavior or replacement with action that removes the negative consequence.
Self-modification of behavioral patterns works best when we learn and reinforce new behaviors rather than suppressing or punishing unwanted ones. By focusing our energy on what we want to be, instead of what we don't want to be, we allow ourselves to move into the new pattern. By changing the stimuli, or by altering the consequences, we can train ourselves to look and live in a new direction.
The first step in modifying your own behavior is to gather baseline data. Observe and understand your current behavioral patterns before beginning any adjustments. The stage of awareness and recording assists transformation in two ways. Firstly, it provides a pattern for comparative measurement. Without knowing your own behavior in detail, how can you identify if any change has taken place? Secondly, the act of creating a baseline makes us more observant of our behavior and may help identify root causes. Knowing the root of your issues can make it much easier to correct them.
Are there things in your life that you want to change? Begin to identify them, and document the behavior that causes the undesired outcome. Choose to begin the first step towards changing your self and your life.
1. Carry a notebook for few days, and list everything that you do. Pay attention to your physical actions, what you ingest, how you feel, what you say, and how you react to situations.
2. As your lists progress, identify repetitive behavior.
3. Identify personal habits that you like.
4. Identify personal habits that you would like to alter.


The Trump administration pushed back on a bipartisan criticism that it has not done enough to deter Moscow's increasingly aggressive behavior, announcing it is reading a second "more severe" round of sanctions on Russia for the U.K. nerve-agent attack, a leading State Department official told Congress.
"We plan to impose a very severe second round of sanctions," Assistant Secretary of State Manisha Singh told Thursday's House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing on congressionally authorized sanctions.
Ms. Singh said the penalties soon to be levied in retaliation for the poisoning of a Russian former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in the English city of Salisbury earlier this year include "a laundry list of items that will penalize the Russian government" ranging from banking sanctions to prohibitions on procurement of defense articles.
On Wednesday, President Trump ratcheted up the pressure even further, signing an order creating a mechanism that automatically slaps sanctions on foreign countries or individuals caught interfering in U.S. elections amid heightened alerts from the U.S. intelligence community about potential cyberattacks on the midterm elections Nov. 6.
But committee chairman, Rep. Ed Royce, California Republican, added to the bipartisan argument that Mr. Trump has not punished the Kremlin enough for multiple aggressions including meddling in U.S. elections, involvement in the civil war in Syria and continued hostility in Ukraine.
While he applauded the White House for sanctioning more than 200 Russian individuals and entities under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) of 2017, and other existing laws, Mr Royce was firm in his criticism that Russia needed to be hit harder with sanctions.
"We cannot expect [Russian President] Vladimir Putin and his corrupt associates to change their behavior in Syria, Ukraine or anywhere else until we prove we will hold them to account," he said, adding that a "wider net" needed to be cast to trigger certain underused CAATSA provisions.
On Syria, Mr. Royce said more needed to be done on Iran, including stopping Russian firms assisting Iran's Mahan Air, which U.S. intelligence sources have said ferries weapons, fighters and money to Syria.
Assistant Treasury Secretary Marshall Billingslea, who also testified before the committee, countered that current U.S. policy on Iran was working and that pressure would increase on Tehran as Washington reimposes even tighter sanctions in the wake of the administration's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear agreement.
Mr. Royce also expressed concern that Washington's "maximum pressure" policy on North Korea to end it's nuclear program was ineffective because the nation's leader, Kim Jong Un, appeared "to be using talks, as he has time and again, to probe for weaknesses and buy time".
Mr. Billingslea countered that the administration would "continue this economic pressure campaign until denuclearization is achieved" and noted that new North Korean sanctions had been unveiled Thursday morning.
Those penalties, announced by Treasury Department officials, sanction two North Korean-controlled information technology companies based in China and Russia — China Silver Star, its North Korean CEO Jong Song Hwa, and its Russia-based sister company.
In a statement, Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin said the sanctions were aimed at stopping the flow of illicit revenue to North Korea from overseas IT workers hiding behind front companies and aliases. Treasury officials added that China Silver Star is associated with the Munitions Industry Department of North Korea's ruling party, which oversees the nation's ballistic missile programs.

I love food. Fast food, cooked food, food food food – I love it all.
And when I'm out of town visiting friends or family you can bet I'm looking to eat out at a local restaurant.
McDonald's and Subway are great and all but what could beat a local diner tucked behind an alley or a bar hidden in an underground cellar?
When I am searching for such places, I use the smartphone app Urbanspoon to help me find the location my stomach desires.
Urbanspoon is the smartphone restaurant information and recommendation service app intended for discovering well-rated restaurants in the nearby area.
If you're out of town with friends and looking for a restaurant to eat a delicious meal, Urbanspoon is the app you could use to find that restaurant.
My favorite feature is the "restaurants nearby feature." By clicking this, you are given numerous choices of nearby restaurants in order of distance to pick from — and a rating is shown beside each restaurant listed.
So, if a restaurant is rated 8 percent, it means that particular restaurant's food and service will be extremely unpleasant.
Or you can simply use the search option by typing in the name of a restaurant and pressing submit.
Urbanspoon will then search for the nearest location of the restaurant you have just typed in.
"Shake" is another fun feature on the app.
"Shake" is a lot like a slot machine, meaning you have no idea what results you'll get.
Just click on the shake option and once you're in the "shake" page, shake your phone.
The app will generate random restaurants for you to choose from.
You can narrow your search by using the filter option.
This allows you to find a restaurant nearby, whereas "shake" could give you a location several miles away.
Overall, Urbanspoon is a terrific phone app with reliable reviews and satisfying results.
Urbanspoon is free to download. I highly recommend all food enthusiasts to add the app to their phone before their next trip out of town.

During our trip to Duehren in 2012, we met some members of the Wolfhardt family who are our distant relatives. They shared a bunch of documents with me on the family tree and history. Here is the family tree that documents ancestors all the way back to 1375. To put the year 1375 in perspective - this was the last part of Middle Ages and the eve of the Renaissance. Black Death just wiped out 1/3 of Europe's population 25 years earlier. Edward III is King of England in 1375 and Gregory XI is the 201st Pope. The Ming Dynasty has just begun in China, Aztecs are thriving in Mexico, and the 1100 year old Byzantine Empire is just about to fall. The Incas will build Machu Pichu 75 years later. Columbus will be born 75 years later, Michelangelo and Martin Luther about 100 years later, and Shakespeare about 200 years later. The printing press will be invented 64 years later. The American Revolution will begin 400 years later.
Here is that family tree.
The first located Brentz was P. Jacob Brentz, a school attendant in Althausen, Germany. He and wife Maria had son Hans Melchior Brentz, who became a cloth maker and woolen weaver. In 1669, Hans married Anna Dorothea Wolfhardt, daughter of Pastor George Johann Wolfhardt and his second wife, Anna Burckhardt. Their son Johann Heinrich was born in Duehren In 1672. They had a 2 floor house and 16.25 acres of farmland. Johann Heinrich was killed when struck by a bolt of lightning while in a field in Duehren on August 6, 1727.
Alexander Wolffhardt received a Masters Degree from the University of Tublingen in 1575. One of his handwritten papers is still in the library there. He was in the clergy and worked in Cannstatt, Strümpfelbach, and Nürtingen. Several of his sermons in Nurtingen still exist. His biggest legacy was his Nürtingen church registry book - a priceless source of information for family researchers to this day.
Casper Graeter was a very senior official in the church.
Georg Johann Wolfhardt suffered a great deal from the Swedish invasion during the 30 Years War, losing his first wife and four children.
Michael Wolfhardt was Mayor of Waiblingen.
Agnes Hunn's father was the Mayor of Marbach.
Wolfhardts probably converted from Catholic to Protestant around 1534.
Heinrich Rentz's eulogy is in Stuttgart library.
Anna Wolffartin of Frieburg, was executed for witchcraft in 1599. A plaque at Martins Gate honors her memory. Her son, Alexander Schell, was repeatedly involved in fights and adultery. In 1612, he was stabbed to death from behind by Anna Weckherin. Since Wolffartin is the feminine form of Wolffhardt and Freiburg is just 100 miles from Waiblingen, they may have been somehow related.
Here is another visual of this family line with some of the history and context.
Hope that was helpful. If so, feel free to drop a note on our Guestbook.

3.4 DIAGNOSIS
3.5 TREATMENT OF CHILD IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA
Iron deficiency anemia, especially from the diet, is considered the most prevalent disease in the world, being called iron deficiency anemia, affecting mainly children and women. Studies conducted in different regions of Brazil have shown a high prevalence of the disease in the country, in all ages and economic levels of this class more hit. There are still no national survey studies of the disease, but some of the studies carried out by the higher prevalence of bipolar disorder iron deficiency anemia in children in the southeast of the country. Due to the magnitude of the problem and the scope of its risk factors, developed this study, aimed at systematizing articles published in the year 2000 to 2015 inherent to the topic. Surveys carried out by the World Health Organization indicate that half of the children under five years of age in developing countries, suffer from iron deficiency anemia, and in Brazil studies report an incidence average around 35% between the ages of one and four years. Inadequate intake of iron in heme shape, low socioeconomic status, the precarious conditions of sanitation and the incidence of parasitic diseases are the main causes of iron deficiency anemia in children. On this issue, it is concluded that the iron deficiency anemia in infancy presents multiple causes, which requires joint action of several strategies to combat, including medication supplementation routine actions of iron, iron fortification in foods used in baby food and dietary education programs to better matching of total and bioavailable iron.
Keywords: iron deficiency Anemia. Childhood. Iron deficiency. Brazil.
Anemia is defined by the World Health Organization (who) as "a condition in which the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood is abnormally low as a result of the lack of one or more essential nutrients, whatever the source of this grace period". Have iron deficiency anemia is the result of long period of negative balance between the amount of biologically available iron and the need of this organic trace element (Z; HAWK; PASQUINI, 2004; Jordan; BERNARDI; BARROS FILHO, 2009).
Iron deficiency anemia is the most common nutritional deficiencies, with higher prevalence in women and children, especially in developing countries. Children between six and 24 months feature twice the risk for developing the disease than those between 25 and 60 months. Considered a serious public health problem, anemia may impair the mental and psychomotor development, cause increased morbidity and mortality, maternal and child in addition to the drop in individual performance at work and reduced resistance to infections (OSORIO et al., 2001; OLIVEIRA; OSÓRIO, 2005; Jordan; BERNARDI; BARROS FILHO, 2009).
In Brazil, there is no national survey of prevalence of anemia, only studies in different regions, which show a high prevalence of the disease, estimated that about 4,800,000 of preschoolers are affected by the disease. Despite the lack of comprehensive national studies, regional data have shown a high prevalence of anemia in Brazil, in all ages and socioeconomic levels (BRAZIL, 2004; Jordan; BERNARDI; BARROS FILHO, 2009; Souza, 2011).
Iron deficiency anemia, or only mild or moderate deficiency of the mineral, can cause fatigue, injury on growth and muscle performance, leading to neurological development and also damage in school performance. Other consequences include behavioral and cognitive disorders, such as irritability, lack of attention, lack of interest, difficulty in learning, loss in ability to maintain body temperature on exposure to cold; changes in the skull, in children with iron deficiency anemia; long bone abnormalities; changes in thyroid function, production and metabolism of Catecholamines and other neurotransmitters and increasing the capacity of absorption of heavy metals (oak; BACARATI; SGARBIERI, 2006; SILVA; WEB CALENDAR, 2006; HEIJBLOM; SANTOS, 2007; FABIAN; OLINTO; COSTA, 2007; Cardoso; Saints; CHEN, 2008).
Despite several programs to combat iron deficiency anemia, the growth rates of the disease are still on the rise, mainly due to poor adherence to the method for weak mother-child bond, low level of education and lack of information about the severity of the disease, leading his parents to discontinue the treatment (MATTOS, 2007). Therefore, on the exposed, this review has as main objective to systematize the articles published in the period from 2000 to 2014 on infant iron deficiency anemia in Brazil and its consequences as a result of this disease if not treated properly.
This is a review carried out by means of retrospective survey of scientific articles published over the past fourteen years (2000 to 2015).
The literature search was performed on indexed studies in national and international databases, such as: Latin American literature (LILACS) and in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SCIELO), Pub Med, Google Scholar, among others.
The descriptors used were: iron deficiency anemia, children, iron deficiency, Brazil.
Selected articles were national and international published in Portuguese and English language in the period mentioned above regarding infant iron deficiency anemia in both Brazil and outside of it. Reference items are available in Brazil via Internet or in national libraries.
-articles published in full in the period from 2000 to 2015, in Portuguese and English languages;
-articles that contained some of the selected descriptors;
-items available in Brazil, either via internet or in libraries.
-Summary of articles;
-items not available in Brazil;
-articles in other languages that do not Portuguese or English;
Articles were reviewed and categorized with a view to the classification and delineation of the studies, observing: year of publication, source, formation and origin of author/researcher, object of study, the study population, exposure time, instrument rating or data collection and results and discussion thereof.
Since this is a review article, there was no need for this study submission to the Research Ethics Committee, as well as signing an informed consent because you don't treat directly with human beings.
By definition, the term anemia applies simultaneously to a clinical syndrome, being the most prevalent chronic syndrome in medicine, and a laboratory frame characterized by decrease in hematocrit, hemoglobin concentration in the blood or the concentration of red blood cells per unit volume, compared with peripheral blood parameters of a reference population. In any age group, anemia is not a diagnosis in itself, but only one objective sign of the presence of basic disease that is causing, being one of the most common manifestations of disease worldwide (Z; HAWK; PASQUINI, 2004; COURTEOUS; LIRA; COITINHO, 2009; BORTOLINI; VITOLO, 2010).
Among the nutritional diseases, considered worldwide the most prevalent is anemia, being an important public health problem. There are several types of anemia, but the iron deficiency anemia is the most common type and is caused by iron deficiency, which is one of the main constituents of hemoglobin for oxygen transport to the tissues, because iron is an essential nutrient for life and acts mainly in the manufacture of red blood cells, erythrocytes (OSÓRIO, 2002; WILLIAMS, 2002; BARBOSA, 2003; SILVEIRA, ALBUQUERQUE; Rock, 2008).
Anemia is defined by the World Health Organization (who) (2004) as "a condition in which the concentration of hemoglobin in the blood is abnormally low as a result of the lack of one or more essential nutrients, whatever the source of this grace period". Have iron deficiency anemia is the result of long period of negative balance between the amount of biologically available iron and the need of this organic trace element (OSORIO et al., 2001; STOLTZFUS, 2001).
The iron deficiency anemia, also called ferropênica, may be associated with malnutrition, caused by the diet low in iron, vitamin A, folate, but its etiology is the result of multiple factors, such as the loss of iron, the speed of growth of the child and the parasitic infections (OLIVEIRA, 2005; ANVISA, 2006; Name; RAO, 2006). Iron deficiency anemia is a serious public health problem and is a result of various etiological factors. Among the most important causes include inadequate intake of iron in heme shape due to the low consumption of foods of animal origin and low socioeconomic status, the precarious conditions of sanitation and the incidence of parasitic diseases, especially those that cause chronic blood loss (OSÓRIO, 2002; WILLIAMS, 2002; ZAGO; HAWK; PASQUINI, 2004; Jordan; BERNARDI; BARROS FILHO, 2009).
In January 2004 the who defined the best indicators of iron status in children aged less than five years, and less than 11 g/dL hemoglobin and ferritin of less than 12ug/L (OLIVEIRA, 2005; PATEL, 2008; SILVEIRA; ALBUQUERQUE; Rock, 2008).
The first stage of iron deficiency anemia, also called latent iron deficiency or iron depletion, occurs when the intake of iron is unable to meet the needs, producing a reduction of their deposits, which is characterized by serum ferritin below 12 micrograms per litre, but no functional changes (AGUILAR, 2006).
Going on continuity of the negative balance, there is a second phase, called eritropoese iron deficient, which is characterized by decreased bone marrow and serum iron, transferrin saturation below 16%, and elevation of free erythrocyte protoporphyrin, or that the reduction of working capacity. As a consequence of iron deficiency erythropoiesis, medullary ineffective. And finally, when there is restriction in the synthesis of hemoglobin, develops the third and final stage, or iron deficiency anemia, iron deficiency anemia, where haemoglobin is located below the standards for the age and the sex is characterized by the appearance of microcytosis and hipocromia red blood cells (QUEIROZ, 2000, HADLEY, 2002; AGUILAR, 2006).
To Zafar, Hawk and Pasquini (2004), between iron deficiency and iron deficiency anemia itself, there are intermediate situations in which the morphology of RBCs (microcytosis and hipocromia), the serum iron, total iron transport capacity (TIBC), deposits of iron in the bone marrow and serum ferritin not present yet all changes features of iron deficiency anemia. In this case, there is a mild to moderate anemia, with red blood cells still showing normal (oak; BARACATI; SGARBIERI, 2006).
Iron deficiency occurs: when their intake is insufficient, for example, during the period of growth or pregnancy; when iron malabsorption occurs; in cases of losses increased by consequences of uterine blood loss or in the digestive tract; When renal loss of hemosiderin as a result of chronic intravascular hemolysis; in case of iron sequestration in a place inaccessible and even the urinary losses of blood (BAIN, 2007; VERRASTRO, 2005).
The depletion of stocks of iron in the bone marrow and the insufficient supply of iron to eritroblastos lead to a decrease in the synthesis of heme and as a consequence a reduction in the production of hemoglobin and red blood cells (BAIN, 2007; VERRASTRO, 2005; CH; BARACATI; SGARBIERI, 2006).
The who estimates that half of the population of children under five years of age in developing countries suffer from iron deficiency anemia. Several studies conducted in different locations and populations indicate a high prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in Brazil. There are an estimated 5,000,000 children under 4 years with iron deficiency anemia in the entire country and, contrary to what occurs with malnutrition, the prevalence of iron deficiency anemia has been increasing in recent decades (CARDOSO; Saints; CHEN, 2008; Jordan; BERNARDI; BARROS FILHO, 2009).
Due to the rapid expansion of red cell mass and the sharp growth of the tissues, the children are more vulnerable to iron deficiency due to the increase of their needs (SILVA; WEB CALENDAR, 2006; CH; BARACATI; SGARBIERI, 2006).
The increasing prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in children may be due to changes in dietary habits, accompanying the nutritional transition in the country. In Brazil, the trend of increasing anaemia in preschoolers was evidenced by two studies in which the prevalence of the disease increased from 35.6% in the Decade of 1980, to 46.9% in the Decade of 1990, in São Paulo, and of 19.3% to 36.4%, in Paraíba (MONTEIRO, 2000; OLIVEIRA; 2002; MOREIRA et al., 2004). Due to its high prevalence and its consequences, the fight against iron deficiency anemia is one of the priorities for professionals who are responsible for planning of public health nutrition programs, finding political support in social commitment assumed by Brazil to reduce iron-deficiency anemia. The Ministry of health has made compulsory the fortification of maize flour and wheat flour with iron and folic acid, for being easily accessible food and population have not updates to its organoleptic characteristics in the process of fortification, in addition to being economically viable in the country. To do so, from 1998, was deployed to the National Program of supplemental iron Drug risk groups (children from six to 18 months, pregnant women and women in postpartum), aiming at the reduction in the number of cases and the improvement in the quality of life of the patient (OSORIO et al., 2001; MOREIRA et al., 2004).
The reduction of blood hemoglobin concentration compromise oxygen transport to the tissues and have various consequences, including signs and symptoms, alterations of the skin and mucous membranes (pallor, Glossitis), gastrointestinal changes (stomatitis, dysphagia), fatigue, weakness, palpitations, reduced cognitive function, growth and psychomotor development, besides affecting the thermoregulation and the immunity of the child (OLIVEIRA , 2005; Cardoso; Saints; CHEN, 2008).
Iron deficiency anemia, or only mild or moderate deficiency of the mineral, can cause fatigue, injury on growth and muscle performance, leading to neurological development and also damage in school performance. Other consequences include behavioral and cognitive disorders, such as irritability, lack of attention, lack of interest, difficulty in learning, loss in ability to maintain body temperature on exposure to cold; changes in the skull, in children with iron deficiency anemia; long bone abnormalities; changes in thyroid function, production and metabolism of Catecholamines and other neurotransmitters and increasing the capacity of absorption of heavy metals (CANÇADO; CHIATTONE, 2002; CH; BARACATI; SGARBIERI, 2006).
Anemic children present a delayed neuromotor development that even after prolonged treatment, no one gets installed framework improvement. The most obvious consequence of iron deficiency is anemia and all its sequels and evidence indicate that this deficiency can affect metabolic processes, such as DNA synthesis, metabolism of several enzymes and transport of electrons, causing changes in the immune response and the cognitive functions of the infant and child (oak; BARACATI; SGARBIERI, 2006; UMBELINO; ROSSI, 2006).
As iron is involved in cellular respiration, low hemoglobin levels interfere with energy metabolism and may affect the level of physical activity; so in the central nervous system it can be associated with delay in cognitive ability of children and on the skin and mucous membranes falling hemoglobin is reflected by skin and mucous membrane discoloration, used to assess the presence of anemia in children (PALOMBO; FUJIMORI, 2006). This fact proved by studies conducted in children under the age of five years have shown that iron deficiency anemia is related, among other changes, the low scores on tests of mental and motor activity, and may lead to irreversible sequel, even in the presence of adequate treatment (SILVA, 2006; CARDOSO, 2008).
Several haematological and biochemical parameters reflect the stages of iron depletion. For the early diagnosis of depletion of stocks of iron in vitro for a parameter considered gold standard, is the bone marrow hemosiderin, which will determine the absence of Medullary indicating the iron depletion. However, this procedure is invasive, it is not suitable as a screening exam (AGUILAR, 2006). The diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia can be accomplished through a correlation between laboratory values, checking the blood levels of hemoglobin and iron stock (P; RONDO; SHINOHARA, 2000).
Currently the haemoglobin concentration is considered to be the most commonly used parameter as indicative of the physiopathological consequences of anemia, but does not show good specificity and sensitivity to assess the nutritional status of iron, since it can meet changed in inflammatory and infectious processes, bleeding, protein-calorie malnutrition, drug use and smoking (ARAÚJO, 2006; BARBOSA; CARDOSO, 2003).
The determination of serum ferritin is considered to be the most appropriate specific biochemical parameter as a real indicator of body iron reserves and is considered a useful method for using peripheral blood and present strong correlation with tissue iron deposits. Transferrin saturation, protoporfirinas free eritrocitárias and the calculation of hematimétricos indices are also used for the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia (ARAÚJO, 2006; UMBELINO; ROSSI; 2006; MATTOS, 2007).
Changes in the size and color of the red blood cells provide a useful information in relation to the nutritional status of iron, and the use of electronic counters has improved the reliability of the diagnosis. Hematimétricos indexes based on mean corpuscular volume (MCV) and amplitude of variation in the size of the red blood cells (RDW) are important elements in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia already installed. The Association of morphological classification of anemia from hematimétricos indices with the characterization of anemia according to the medullar response AIDS in the differential diagnosis and the likely etiology of anemia (P; RONDO; SHINOHARA, 2000; ARAÚJO, 2006; GROTTO, 2009).
Iron depletion causes the red blood cells are produced, on average, small and with great variation in size (anisocytosis), which is measured by the RDW. In iron deficiency anemia, the RED BLOOD CELL DISTRIBUTION WIDTH increases early even of significant decrease of VCM, fact that allows to detect the incipient iron deficiency (AGUILAR, 2006).
Reduced values on concentration of serum iron is a strong indicator of iron depletion. In iron deficiency anemia occurs decreased hemoglobin, hematocrit reduction, the Total transport Capacity (TIBC) is normal or increased, leading to decreased saturation of transferrin to levels lower than 10%. In the examination of the blood smear stained erythrocytes are microcíticas and hypochromic (Z; HAWK; PASQUINI, 2004; ADAM; Fields; SANTANA, 2007).
For the diagnosis of nutritional status of iron there is a great, being the choice of the same, dependent on several factors, such as: some characteristics inherent to the individual or population group (age, pregnancy); prevalence and severity of iron deficiency; inflammatory and infectious disease incidence and frequency of hematologic diseases. Factors such as volume of the blood sample required, cost, complexity of the methodology and laboratory errors, susceptibility cannot be disregarded (P; RONDO; SHINOHARA, 2000; AGUILAR, 2006).
To combat and prevent iron-deficiency anemia there are several important strategies such as: food education; medical prophylactic supplementation; food fortification and improving the quality of the diet offered; encouraging exclusive breastfeeding in the first six months of life, which is of fundamental importance; don't use cow's milk in the first year of life; fortification of foods; infection control; access to clean water and proper sewage system; and the stimulus to consumption of foods that contain high iron bioavailability in the introduction of complementary feeding (QAZI; TORRES, 2000; SILVA; WEB CALENDAR, 2006; MATTOS, 2007).
The main treatment of iron deficiency anemia involves oral administration of iron in the ferrous form and associated with drug treatment, must guide the consumption of food with quantity and high bioavailability of iron (Williams, 2002; TRINITY et al., 2009).
Osório (2002) explains that there needs to be a special assistance to the rural areas and risk where the low socioeconomic conditions and the difficulties of access to food even more aggravate the problem of iron deficiency anemia.
Another important measure to decrease the prevalence of anaemia, especially among preschoolers, is the use of fortified foods or iron-enriched, as the wheat and corn meal and milk used in baby food, in addition to the fortification of their own drinking water, considered a good vehicle for being washed (OSÓRIO, 2002; CH; BARACATI; SGARBIERI, 2006).
The Ministry of health has made compulsory the fortification of maize flour and wheat flour with iron and folic acid, for being easily accessible food and population have not updates to its organoleptic characteristics in the process of fortification, in addition to being economically viable to the country by deploying the National Program to combat anemia, iron deficiency Anaemia risk groups comprising children from six to 18 months , pregnant women and postpartum women (OSÓRIO, 2002; Jordan; BERNARDI; BARROS FILHO, 2009).
Ferrous sulfate is recommended for the treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anemia whose absorption becomes better when it is administered along with a source of vitamin C, such as orange juice, associating the treatment the food consumption with quantity and high bioavailability of iron (MONTEIRO; SZARFARC; MONDINI, 2000; MOREIRA et al., 2004; MATTOS, 2007).
The rapid expansion of red cell mass and the sharp growth of tissues make children more vulnerable to iron deficiency as a result of the increase of your needs. Anemia, mainly due to lack of food bio-available iron, represents a nutritional problem in collective health in developing countries, especially in Brazil, being a consequence of various etiological factors. Among the most vulnerable segments of the population to the problem of iron deficiency anemia are infants, children under five and women of childbearing age, including gestational period.
Iron deficiency anemia is a public health problem that presents far-reaching consequences for human health and the social and economic development.
The infant iron deficiency anemia is distinguished, not only by the frequency with which manifests itself, especially the age group, but also by the effects.
A study conducted by the World Health Organization points out that half of the children under five years of age in developing countries, suffer from iron deficiency anemia and in Brazil studies report an incidence average around 35% between the ages of one and four years.
The brazilian prevalence of iron deficiency anemia in children is high in many regions and is one of the most important nutritional deficiencies by the occurrence of errors, especially in the period of weaning, when breast milk is now replaced by iron or foods that feature very low bioavailability.
Inadequate intake of iron in heme shape, low socioeconomic status, the precarious conditions of sanitation and the incidence of parasitic diseases, especially those that cause chronic blood loss, are the main causes of iron deficiency anemia in children. On this issue, it is concluded that the iron deficiency anemia in infancy presents multiple causes, which requires joint action of several strategies to combat, including medication supplementation routine actions of iron, iron fortification in foods used in baby food and dietary education programs to better matching of total and bioavailable iron; along with the intensification of campaigns aiming at the prevention and treatment of this type of anemia considered high prevalence and various consequences for the child's body.

With starter Jared Goff nursing a thumb injury, who is Los Angeles Rams backup quarterback John Wolford?
The playoff hopes of the Los Angeles Rams might hinge on the right arm of a player who hasn't appeared in an NFL game.
In a 20-9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, Rams quarterback Jared Goff suffered a thumb injury to his right, throwing hand. Game broadcast cameras caught Goff appearing to pop his thumb back into place. That leaves backup John Wolford, a second-year passer with experience in the now-defunct Alliance of American Football as the quarterback in line if Goff isn't able to play in Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals.
If the Rams beat the Cardinals in the finale, they will clinch a postseason berth. L.A. can also get in if the Chicago Bears lose to the Green Bay Packers.
Goff said he was "uncertain" about his availability for the season finale but minimized the effect of the injury, saying his thumb felt "not terrible."
Rams coach Sean McVay added that he didn't want to speculate about Goff's availability.

But who is Wolford, exactly? Here's a look at four facts about the 25 year old, 6-foot-1 passer.
Exposure from time in the AAF
After he couldn't latch onto a permanent job in the NFL following the 2018 season, Wolford signed with the AAF's Arizona Hotshots in the spring of 2019.
Originally an afterthought on the Hotshots roster after the team used its first pick in its quarterback draft on former Oklahoma star Trevor Knight, Wolford beat out Knight for the starting job. At the time, Wolford compared it to previous paths in his career, when he won the starting job at Wake Forest as a freshman.
"I swear to God, it's like a repeating cycle," Wolford told the Winston-Salem Journal in February 2019. "The biggest thing that you learn in camp is being able to be consistent. Just to go out every day and do the right thing every single time, and that's how you win jobs. So, I have some experience in that arena."
He quickly became one of the stars of the league and garnered instant attention from local and national media, especially since his LinkedIn page at the time still listed his job title as a private equity analyst.
In his time with the Hotshots, Wolford completed 130 of 206 passes for 1,617 yards, 14 touchdowns, seven interceptions and a QB rating of 95.9.
Path in the NFL
Wolford broke into the league as an undrafted rookie free agent in 2018, when the New York Jets signed him for a stint in their training camp. He played the majority of the snaps in the preseason finale, but the Jets released him Sept. 4 of that year as the team cut down to 53 players on the roster. He then went to play in the AAF.
After his positive stint in the start-up league, the Rams signed Wolford in April 2019, where he spent last season on the practice squad, as Blake Bortles served as the backup behind Goff.
This season, Wolford made the 53-man roster in L.A. and has served as Goff's backup after he played cleanly in a pair of intrasquad scrimmages.
"He has done a nice job," McVay said Aug. 29 after one of those scrimmages. "As he's accumulated reps, he's getting more comfortable with the offense, and then you're seeing the ability to create off-schedule. He's got great athleticism. I think he's decisive.
"I think he and Jared are formulating a great rapport with their comfort level of being able to bounce things off one another. But I've been very pleased with John. You want Jared to stay healthy, but if John had to play, we'd feel very good about John."
'Doug Flutie-type stuff'
First, a caveat.
This comparison came after an intrasquad scrimmage Aug. 22, in which quarterbacks were not allowed to be tackled and in which the Rams offense played against the Rams defense because of concerns over COVID-19 transmissions that altered the NFL preseason.
Still, McVay was so impressed with Wolford after the scrimmage that he compared him to former NFL and CFL quarterback Doug Flutie, who became known for being a shorter quarterback who could improvise when plays broke down.
"You see him running around," McVay said Aug. 22. "He's got some Doug Flutie-type stuff to him as far as being able to break contain and be able to make some plays off schedule."
For his part, Wolford said he has tried to model his game after the Seattle Seahawks' Russell Wilson and New Orleans Saints' Drew Brees, a pair of shorter passers.
"Those are guys that you always try to look at who's the best in the game and look for ways to improve and the things that they do well," Wolford said Aug. 29.
Records at Wake Forest
Wolford was a four-year starter with the Demon Deacons, where he left a massive imprint on the program.
He set school records his senior season for QB efficiency (157.98), passing yards (3,192), passing touchdowns (29), and total touchdowns (39). His 78 career total touchdowns are also a Wake Forest record.
He finished with 8,794 passing yards and 1,120 rushing yards in his career in Winston-Salem. In fact, Wolford became just the eighth quarterback in ACC history to surpass 8,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards. At the time that he left the program, he held three of the top five single-game marks for total offense.
Now, seemingly likely to get his first shot in the NFL, Wolford has the chance to back up what he said in August, after he impressed in those scrimmages.
"I feel ready," Wolford said Aug. 29. "I'm confident in my abilities and confident in my ability to run this offense. It's something I've prepped for my entire life. I've played a lot of football in my life, from college to the AAF and I'm ready to go whenever that shot comes."

These critical findings will be used to drive the scorecard, category strategies, and tactics. Those underlined represent findings that were either directly or indirectly informed by high-order attribute data.
Pairing Label Insight high-order attributes with purchase data can unlock growth-driving insights that inform strategy. For example, Free-From Artificial Ingredient and All-Natural Ingredient ice cream products are driving accelerated growth beyond total category. Growing and emerging trends in this category highlight whitespace opportunities for category decision tree and scorecard innovations, which, in turn, help to enhance both product and category growth strategies.
"Good Source of Protein" is just one of a number of high-order attributes that are driving outsized growth in the ice cream category. Fiber is driving even more growth! What's key here is understanding that it's not about one-off, edge-case attributes capturing growth, but having the visibility to understand that there are a number of attribute-driven buying trends delivering growth. It's also not about spotting a long-range trend around a single unique attribute; it's about understanding where growth is happening and where your existing product can tap in, as it's formulated and sits on the shelf today!
Jones' somewhat weaker representation of these health-oriented items in your assortment helps explain why share in the category lags competition.
The FDA publishes a bi-annual report of the incidence of various allergies in the U.S. Lactose intolerance has one of the highest levels of any food allergy. Moreover, it is growing. Part of that growth is probably attributable to an increasing awareness of lactose intolerance among the population, especially new mothers. Another reason is genetic. Some ethnic groups such as Asians, Hispanics, and Native Americans suffer high levels (75%+) of lactose intolerance. Therefore, the growing Asian-American and Hispanic groups are probably driving the growth of lactose intolerance.
The Label Insight data shows that lactose-free items are under-represented in the Jones assortment. This same Label Insight data shows that these "no milk" items are growing rapidly in the category. This probably explains part of Jones' under-performance in the category. One final thought: Lactose-free items comprise 7% of the fluid milk category. We might expect that the ice cream category would attain at least these same levels. These items are now at less than 2%, suggesting a major growth opportunity for Jones, which they might meet with a private label entry.
Understanding an attribute's impact on growth across a number of categories or even the whole marketplace can provide a key advantage to the category management process. "Free-from artificial flavors" is one of a number of high-order attributes driving sales growth across the store. Being able to see the attribute in the context of the total marketplace is the unique power delivered by Nielsen Product Insider.
Health concerns are driving changes in many categories.
Hormones are one of those attributes which health-conscious shoppers want to avoid.
Unfortunately, Jones Grocery has fewer "no hormone" items in its assortment and as a result, these items have a lower market share in Jones Grocery.
This seems to explain, in part, why Jones' overall share in the category is below that of its share in other food categories.
Data from multiple sources, including Mintel's new product report, show that products with added or that are high in protein are among the fastest-growing new products in multiple food categories globally, especially here in the U.S.
Some data from the "Health in America" report suggest that many "indulgent" categories such as ice cream use "high in protein" as an inducement for health-oriented shoppers to consume the category.
This is especially true of Millennials and Millennial mothers who are fixated on maintaining high levels of protein in their children's diet.
Not surprisingly, the Label Insight data shows that the "high in protein" ice cream items are under-represented in the Jones assortment and also have a lower share. This accounts for part of Jones' weak performance in the category.
Ice cream is shelved in the valuable, limited space of a freezer.
Jones has less freezer space than competitors devoted to ice cream, but more SKUs.
This inevitably means that popular SKUs receive disproportionately less space than they deserve. Even a tiny SKU must receive at least one facing and that may be "too much" in proportion to its movement.
This problem is exacerbated on promotion especially of larger brands and popular flavors. These SKUs tend to disappear rapidly in our model of the category and cause rampant out-of-stocks.
This may partially explain why Jones' "% sold on deal" is below competitors.
One of the biggest changes with CatMan 2.0 is the layering on of attitudinal and perceptional data to the process that reflects why a shopper buys a category. The high-level example above should indicate how important high-order attribute data can be to establishing the "why" behind the data. By definition, high-order attribute data can be an abstraction of how consumers understand and interpret various product data profiles. For instance, the same product can be perceived as "artificial color free", and "preservative free," two very similar but different perceptional data points. Through data modelling (such as Markov analysis demonstrated in the Assessement WHAT phase) it is possible to identify which "perception" is the most relevant in any given case.
In the next post in this series, we will look at the scorecard process. This stage seeks to leverage the research and analysis provided in the Assessment What and Why phases and to synthesize this in to actual sales objectives looking forward. This phase will critically define the strategies and tactics that will follow.


As requested...here are some more pictures as of today of our cute little bug. She is such a cute little alert baby and we are having so much fun with her already!
She is beautiful! I bet you are having so much fun with her. I love all her dark hair.
That hair is to die for! You could probably put a mini braid in, really unbelievable. And, I thought Tessa had a lot of hair when she was born!!! She's so beautiful, I want to meet her.
THANK YOU! Sooo glad you updates! That expression at less than a week old is fantastic! For how little she is and how sleepy you say she is, you've captured very alert pictures!
man, want to hold her!
CONGRATULATIONS!! She is beautiful! Can't wait to see more pictures and hear about your newborn experiences...nothing like it. Love you guys.
oh my gosh she is ADORABLE!!!! seriously andrew was born with a ton of hair too, and i know i am bias but i think babies with hair are the cutest! she is a total mix of you two i think. congrats! seriously she is beautiful!
Okay, this is pure torture not to be with Camryn everyday and hold her, smell her, listen to her, and cuddle her! I'm stuck in the middle of a master's program reading a textbook and not focusing on anything but my baby girl. I am going to fail my mid-term tomorrow because I had too much fun over the weekend with her, but who needs an "A" when I have perfection in my granddaugher!
She is beautiful! I hope she doesn't lose that hair! She is just a girly little girl... no confusing her for a boy at all! I've only had one loser talk to me as if Ethan was a girl. Anyway, congrats to you two!
Hey I'm writing this for baby Gus he said that he thinks baby Camryn is really cute and he hopes that they can maybe go out sometime. Serious though, way to go she is a cute!
You're so good to post new pics for us! I love her! What a petite little thing. I love how alert she is. I am glad things are going well - hope you are feeling well! Cannot wait to rub all that hair - don't worry, I'll do it nicely!
i think she kind of looks like me....HA :) Congrats you two. Can't wait to meet her on Friday.
oh my goodness she is soo precious erica!!!! i love her dark hair and her big eyes!!! what a cute little love bug!
She has changed so much in 5 days it's ridiculous. She is so sweet I really can't stand it. Especially because I still have to wait a few more weeks to see her. I love all the outfits! How fitting to have one with point shoes! Mommies little ballerina. I love the second picture with the scrunched up forehead and bow. How did you stick it on? Hope you are doing well, I agree with Carrie...if you want to post everyday that'd be just fine with me.
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THAT HAIR?!?!?!? Oh my gosh!!!! I am dying right now, your babe is amazing... I want her in my arms.
I have to admit that the pictures have captured her quite nicely. She really is this cute, alert and peaceful! What a great blessing to enjoy her for this little time while I'm here!
i can't hardly stand it, she is soooo cute! i can't say it enough, i love that dark hair, i will just die if that falls out!

"I'm a fighter, I want to inspire people to say, because of you I didn't give up "
Our Lil' Duck Jessica Seriah
Our "Lil' Duck" Jessica
Our daughter, Jessica, was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer when she was 19 years old. Over the course of a week, she went from living a normal teenage life to starting chemotherapy. She spent 139 days of the next six months in the hospital, 39 of which were in the ICU. During this time, her mother, Debey, was desperate to learn everything she could about how the body heals itself. She spent hours researching and asking anyone she could about how and why the body heals itself. Debey was so determined, she went back to school and spent many long hours researching and studying to become a Functional Nutritionist. Earning her degree with a focus on the Microbiota (the gut) and Epigenetics (the science of gene expression), Debey soon discovered that we can change our gene expression by implementing simple lifestyle changes.
One of Debey's most meaningful discoveries was how fermented foods and beverages (like kombucha) could effectively boost the immune system and promote natural healing within the body. She quickly set out to make the healing, probiotic drink for herself and her daughter, carefully brewing it so that it would have as many nutrients as possible without the sugar, caffeine, or vinegar taste. Soon, friends and family from all over South Carolina were clamoring at the chance to taste Debey's delicious kombucha.
In addition to drinking kombucha regularly, Jessica radically transformed her lifestyle, including changes to her diet, exercise, relaxation, fresh air, sunshine, grounding, healing herbs, and much more. Given just six weeks to live, Jessica continued to give her body what it needed to heal, and nine months after ceasing treatments she was doing so well that she was able to move back out on her own with her daughter. After making the necessary changes to her lifestyle and listening to what her body needed, Jessica went from being riddled with cancer throughout her spine, breasts, liver, kidney, lungs, and brain, to having a no-active cancer status at the end of nine months. Jessica's story is what inspires us to keep going and keep educating others about the powerful impact that small lifestyle changes can make. In every bottle of our kombucha, we want others to see that as long as you're breathing, as long as you're listening to your body, there's hope!

With necessity being the mother of invention, I set out to make the healing probiotic, antioxidant drink for myself and my daughter, carefully brewing it so that it would have as many nutrients as possible without the sugar and caffeine. Jessica followed a regimen that included changes to her diet, exercise, relaxation, fresh air, sunshine, grounding, healing herbs and other lifestyle changes.

Q: Is S = $\{\frac{1}{3^n} + \frac{1}{7^m} | n,m \in \mathbb{N} \}$ connected? Is the set S = $\{\frac{1}{3^n}+\frac{1}{7^m} |n,m \in \mathbb{N} \}$ connected ?
If yes prove it, otherwise give counterexample.

A: The only connected sets in $\mathbb{R}$ are intervals.
Your set is not one, so it is not connected.

A: See that $a:=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{7}$ is an upper bound of $S$ and that $b:=\dfrac{1}{3}+\dfrac{1}{7^2}$ is an upper bound of $S\setminus \left \{ a \right \}$. Then all that'd be left is to prove that if $c:=\dfrac{a+b}{2}$ is the middle point of $a$ and $b$, then $(-\infty, c)$ and $(c, \infty)$ form a disconnection of $S$.

A:
Lemma: In $\mathbb R$ with the euclidean metric, only segments are connected.

Otherwise, If you can find $s,t \in S$ and $x \not \in S$ so that $s < x < t$ then $A=\{k\in S|k < x\}=(-\infty, x)\cap S$ is open in $S$ and not empty.  And $B=\{k\in S|k > x\}=(x,\infty)\cap S$ is open is $S$ and not empty. As $S = A\cup B$.  So $S$ is not connected.
We can easily find such values for $S = \{\frac 1{3^m}+\frac1{7^k}\}$.
$s= \frac 1{3^2} + \frac 1{7^2} \in S$ and $t =\frac 1{3} + \frac 17\in S$ but $s= \frac 1{3^2} + \frac 1{7^2} < \frac 14 < \frac 13 < \frac 13 + \frac 17 = t$.  $x=\frac 1\pi\not\in S$ (because it is irrational) and $s < \frac 14 < \frac 1\pi < \frac 13 < t$.
And so $A=(-\infty, \frac 1\pi )\cap S = \{k\in S|k < \frac 1\pi \}$ and $B=(\frac 1\pi , \infty)\cap S=\{k\in S|k > \frac 1\pi \}$ are open in $S$ and non-empty, and $S = A\cap B$.  So $S$ is not connected.

5 Simple SEO Hacks to Boost Rankings.
Today's discerning consumers are ALWAYS CONNECTED to the internet and essentially demand easy accessibility to reputable products, services and brands. Sites which function poorly on mobile devices, have a long loading time and poor user experience will not only get penalised in search results, they often have low conversion rates due to poor engagement.
More specific phrases are easier to rank due to less competition and often have a higher conversion rate than generic phrases. Figure out separate sets of keywords to target visitors in different stages of their buyer's journey, which takes into account user behavior attributed to site use and conversion. Content on each individual landing pages should also match key phrases and be relevant.
Does your page meet the intent of a large percentage of its visitors ? If a user is interested in that product, do they need help in selecting or learning how to use it?
What about related intents? If someone comes to your site looking for a specific product, what other related products could they be looking for?
What gaps exist in the content on the page?
Is your page a higher-quality experience than that of your competitors?
What's your strategy for measuring page performance and improving it over time?
Keeping these in perspective, write unique, engaging content for end-user rather than for search engines. These will organically lead to improved engagement times, more social shares and rankings. Keep going with SEO hacks.
Next of our SEO hacks is to image a picture of SEO as the process of improving brand visibility across different channels.
One way to do this is to republish your content on social media networks. For example, you can use Facebook to improve your SEO by passing link juice to your useful content pages.
Plus, you'll get results similar to someone who curates content. According to Curata, over 50% of marketers who curate content indicate that it's increased their brand visibility, thought leadership, SEO, web traffic and buyer engagement.
Translation – you need to get active on social media networks such as Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, LinkedIn and Periscope.
The more places where your site is mentioned, the more data Google collects on it. Eventually, you'll benefit from an improvement in your rankings, as long as you continue to publish new content.
When you're building brand visibility, you'll get better traffic, regardless of a particular keyword.
Fact – Videos are a great way of keeping audience engaged and entertained. But did you know that by using enough videos, you can improve the ranking of your page! A report by Marketing Land states that videos make for 62% of all Google searches universally. Moreover, Google has started giving attention to blended results/searches. So, why not grab this opportunity to appear on the first page of search results by including an engaging video in your content? According to Quicksprout.com, videos get 50 times better organic page ranks in Google as against plain, static text results. Also, video searches produce 41% higher click-through rate as compared to plain, static text content, according to Relesoo.com.
Leverage off videos demonstrating your product, service or customer reviews can be fun an easy especially with modern high camera quality on most smartphones.

Nupur here from Nupur Creatives to share a card featuring Flower Of The Month: Easter Lily stamp set. I love the flower images in this stamp set.
To make my focal point I stamped the Lily Bouquet stamp from Flower Of The Month: Easter Lily stamp set with black archival ink several times & then colored it with watercolor pencils. I matted it on black cardstock & adhered it to my card base.
I also stamped the same stamp once on the card base just below where my sentiment would go.
I stamped the sentiment from the Friends stamp set, matted it on black cardstock & glued it down to the card base.
