Hollywood Is Getting A 'Star Wars' Cantina Bar
By Tim McGovern
Every time I walk down Hollywood Boulevard, I whisper to myself, "You'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy." Come winter, this statement won't sound as weird when spoken out loud!
That's because by then Hollywood will get its own "Star Wars" cantina-themed bar called (appropriately) Scum and Villainy.
Here's what the bar's website had to say about the experience it aims (hopefully better than Greedo's aim) to provide,
The Scum and Villainy Cantina is nestled less than 12 parsecs away, in the wretched hive of Hollywood, CA. This temporary pop-up experience transports you into a fully immersive environment where you drink, eat, and hang out as if you were in a galaxy far away. If you've got the credits, we'll serve your kind here… just make sure to leave your droids at home. Costumes encouraged.
Speaking of which, Han shot first, but did he take a shot first? And if so, did he do it with a chaser in a solo cup?
THESE ARE THE CONVERSATIONS I'M GOING TO HAVE NIGHTLY AT THIS BAR.
I say nightly because it seems that it will be open to the public every day. Can you imagine being a regular here? The recurring lightsaber brawls? The eggheaded alien jazz band?
My inner-smuggler already feels completely at home.
Their website implies that you might want to book a res, saying that seated reservations will be taken for the 6pm-8pm time slot, the 8:30pm-10:30pm time slot, and on Saturdays, from 3pm-5pm.
But if you're walk-in, you have to wait until 11pm. Whoa, who's running this bar? The Emperor?
On top of that, if you do decide to make a reservation, you're going to get some sweet galactic swag.
The freebies include "two drinks of your choice, a souvenir pint glass, Scum and Villainy challenge coin, a few extra surprises, and two hours of the most immersive galactic scenery this far into the outer-rim."
The bar, whose location remains a secret as well kept as the location of the rebel base, is located somewhere in Hollywood. Time will tell the exact location soon.
According to Nerdist, reservations open up earlier as next week, so put your name down and hopefully the force will be with you.

Turnitin Encourages Writing Across Content Areas with Historical Analysis Resources in Revision Assistant
Revision Assistant can help teachers assign more writing in other content
areas at a time when effective writing skills are more important than ever
Tuesday, November 14, 2017 — OAKLAND, Calif. - New historical analysis writing prompts for Turnitin Revision Assistant—a digital teaching tool giving students immediate, actionable feedback while they write—support writing instruction in content areas beyond English/Language Arts. Students, educators say, need direct writing instruction in all curriculum areas in order to write effectively and analyze domain-specific texts.
Revision Assistant is one way to give students more meaningful practice across disciplines without adding stacks of essays to a teacher's grading pile.
By the middle school years, writing assignments in subject areas outside of English/Language Arts tend to be only a paragraph in length says Arizona State University professor and researcher Steve Graham. He adds that writing is more important now than ever before due to digital communications. Students need to learn how to write clearly and purposefully in either short or long formats because our society spends so much time expressing themselves electronically. Dr. Graham expands on this topic in a podcast The Written Word, sponsored by Turnitin.
Social studies teachers who are tasked with teaching history and civics rarely have time to give direct writing instruction. This may be a reason why their writing assignments tend to be shorter. However, Revision Assistant is one tool teachers can use to give meaningful writing instruction and relevant feedback without adding to their workload. With Revision Assistant, students write to a prompt such as an argumentative essay on the Modern Revolution. At any time while writing, students can request a Signal Check and Revision Assistant will immediately give four points of feedback specific to their essay.
"We know we need to be teaching writing but we can't do that in a meaningful way when we need to teach social studies standards at the same time," said Caren Ray, the social studies department chair at Santa Maria High School in California. "I used to do abbreviated writing exercises because of time challenges but with Revision Assistant, I was able to assign a poetry analysis to my students, and the program gave students feedback in a manner they could intuitively understand."
A new historical analysis genre and new historical analysis prompts will be available in December 2017 and more will be released in 2018. Historical analysis prompts in Revision Assistant align with disciplinary literacy state standards including the Common Core, as well as the College, Career, and Civic Life Framework for Social Studies.

[G.R. No. 45662. April 26, 1939.]
ENRIQUE CLEMENTE, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. DIONISIO GALVAN, Defendant-Appellee. JOSE ECHEVARRIA, Intervenor-Appellant.
Engracio F. Clemeña and Celedonio Bernardo for Appellant.
Vicente Bengzon for defendant and appellee.
No appearance for other party.
1. POSSESSION; CONSTRICTIVE POSSESSION. — From the facts stated in the decision of the court. it is clear that plaintiff could not obtain possession of the machines in question. The constructive possession deducible from the fact that he had control of the keys to the place where the machines were found (Ylaya Street Nos. 705-707), as they had been delivered to him by the receiver, does not help him any because the lower court suspended the effects of the order whereby the keys were delivered to him a few days after its issuance; and thereafter revolved it entirely in the appealed decision.
2. ID.; ACTUAL POSSESSION. — Furthermore, when he attempted to take material possession of the machines, the defendant did not allow him to do so. Consequently, if he did not have material possession of the said machines, he could not in any manner mortgage them. While it is true that the deed of mortgage Exhibit B was annotated in the registry of property, it is no less true that the machines to which it refers are not the same as those in question because the latter are on Ylaya Street Nos. 705-707 and the former are on Singalong Street N o. 1163.
3. ID.; PRIVATE DOCUMENT DOES NOT CHANGE TERMS OF A PUBLIC DOCUMENT. — It can not be said that Exhibit B-1 allegedly a supplementary contract between the plaintiff and the intervenor, shows that the machines referred to in the deed of mortgage are the same as those which are in dispute and which are found on Ylaya Street, for the reason that said exhibit being merely a private document, the same cannot vary or alter the terms of a public document which is Exhibit B or the deed of mortgage.

DIAZ, J.:
The intervenor Jose Echevarria having lost in the Court of First Instance of Manila which rendered judgment against him, the pertinent portion of which reads: "and with respect to the complaint of the intervenor, the mortgage executed in his favor by plaintiff is declared null and void, and said complaint in intervention. as well as the counterclaim filed by the defendant against the intervenor, is dismissed, without pronouncement as to costs," he appealed to this court on the ground that, according to him, the lower court committed the errors assigned in his brief as follows:jgc:chanrobles.com.ph
"I. The court a quo erred in finding in the appealed decision that plaintiff was unable to take possession of the machines subject of the deed of mortgage Exhibit B either before or after the execution thereof.
"II. The court a quo likewise erred in deciding the present case against the intervenor-appellant, on the ground, among others, that 'plaintiff has not adduced any evidence nor has he testified to show that the machines mortgaged by him to the intervenor have ever belonged to him, notwithstanding that said intervenor is his close relative.'
"III. The lower court also erred in declaring null and void the mortgage executed by plaintiff in favor of the intervenor and, thereby, dismissing the complaint in intervention.
"IV. The lower court lastly erred in ordering the receiver J. D. Mencarini to deliver to the defendant the aforesaid machines upon petition of the plaintiff."cralaw virtua1aw library
In order to have a clear idea of the question, it is proper to state the facts bearing on the case as they appear in the decision and judgment of the lower court and in the documents which constitute all the evidence adduced by the parties during the trial.
On June 6, 1931, plaintiff and defendant organized a civil partnership which they named "Galvan y Compañia" to engage in the manufacture and sale of paper and other stationery. They agreed to invest therein a capital of P100,000, but as a matter of fact they did not cover more than one-fifth thereof, each contributing P10,000. Hardly a y ear after such organization, the plaintiff commenced the present case in the above-mentioned court to ask for the dissolution of the partnership and to compel defendant to whom the management thereof was entrusted to submit an accounting of his administration and to deliver to him his share as such partner. In his answer defendant expressed his conformity to the dissolution of the partnership and the liquidation of its affairs; but by way of counterclaim he asked that, having covered a deficit incurred by the partnership amounting to P4,000 with his own money, plaintiff reimburse him of one-half of said sum. On petition of the plaintiff a receiver and liquidator to take charge of the properties and business of the partnership while the same was not yet definitely dissolved, was appointed, the person chosen being Juan D. Mencarini. The latter was already discharging the duties of his office when the court, by virtue of a petition ex parte of the plaintiff, issued the order of May 24, 1933, requiring said receiver to deliver to him (plaintiff) certain machines which were then at Nos. 705-707 Ylaya Street, Manila, but authorizing him to charge their value of P4,500 against the portion which may eventually be due to said plaintiff. To comply with said order. the receiver delivered to plaintiff the keys to the place where the machines were found, which was the same place where defendant had his home; but before he could take actual possession of said machines, upon the strong opposition of defendant, the court, on motion of the latter, suspended the effects of its order of May 24, 1933. In the meantime the judgments rendered in cases Nos. 42794 and 43070 entitled "Philippine Education Co., Inc. v. Enrique Clemente" for the recovery of a sum of money, and "Jose Echevarria v. Enrique Clemente", also for the recovery of a sum of money, respectively, were made executory; and in order to avoid the attachment and subsequent sale of the machines by the sheriff for the satisfaction from the proceeds thereof of the judgments rendered in the two cases aforecited, plaintiff agreed with the intervenor, who is his nephew, to execute, as he in fact executed in favor of the latter, a deed of mortgage Exhibit B encumbering the machines described in said deed in which it is stated that "they are situated on Singalong Street No. 1163", which is a place entirely different from the house Nos. 705 and 707 on Ylaya Street hereinbefore mentioned. The one year agreed upon in the deed of mortgage for the fulfillment by the plaintiff of the obligation he had contracted with the intervenor, having expired, the latter commenced case No. 49629 to collect his mortgage credit. The intervenor, as plaintiff in the said case, obtained judgment in his favor because the defendant did not interpose any defense or objection, and, moreover, admitted being really indebted to the intervenor in the amount set forth in the deed of mortgage Exhibit B. The machines which the intervenor said were mortgaged to him were then in fact in custodia legis, as they were under the control of the receiver and liquidator Juan D. Mencarini. It was, therefore, useless for the intervenor to attach the same in view of the receiver's opposition; and the question having been brought to court, it decided that nothing could be done because the receiver was not a party to the case which the intervenor instituted to collect his aforesaid credit. (Civil case. No. 49629.) The question ended thus because the intervenor did not take any other step until he thought of joining in this case as intervenor.
1. From the foregoing facts, it is clear that plaintiff could not obtain possession of the machines in question. The constructive possession deducible from the fact that he had the keys to the place where the machines were found (Ylaya Street Nos. 705-707), as they had been delivered to him by the receiver, does not help him any because the lower court suspended the effects of the order whereby the keys were delivered to him a few days after its issuance; and thereafter revoked it entirely in the appealed decision. Furthermore, when he attempted to take actual possession of the machines, the defendant did not allow him to do so. Consequently, if he did not have actual possession of the machines, he could not in any manner mortgage them, for while it is true that the oft-mentioned deed of mortgage Exhibit B was annotated in the registry of property, it is no less true that the machines to which it refers are not the same as those in question because the latter are on Ylaya Street Nos. 705-707 and the former are on Singalong Street No. 1163. It can not be said that Exhibit B-1, allegedly a supplementary contract between the plaintiff and the intervenor, shows that the machines referred to in the deed of mortgage are the same as those in dispute and which are found on Ylaya Street because said exhibit being merely a private document, the same cannot vary or alter the terms of a public document which is Exhibit B or the deed of mortgage.
2. The second error attributed to the lower court is baseless. The evidence of record shows that the machines in contention originally belonged to the defendant and from him were transferred to the partnership Galvan y Compañia. This being the case, said machines belong to the partnership and not to him, and shall belong to it until partition is effected according to the result thereof after the liquidation.
3. The last two errors attributed by the appellant to the lower court have already been disposed of by the considerations above set forth. They are as baseless as the previous ones.
In view of all the foregoing, the judgment appealed from is affirmed, with costs against the appellant. So ordered.
Avanceña, C.J., Villa-Real, Imperial, Laurel, Concepcion and Moran, JJ., concur.

Clarendon Way Walk raises £100,000!
Naomi House & Jacksplace are celebrating the phenomenal success of the recent Clarendon Way Walk.
To date, those that took part in the marathon distance walk have collectively raised more than £100,000 and sponsorship money is still coming in.
The 26 mile walk took place on 4th June and more than 900 people completed the challenging walk between Salisbury Cathedral and Winchester Cathedral.
We are truly delighted by the response to this year's Clarendon Way Walk. The event is hugely important to Naomi House & Jacksplace and it is always a great pleasure to see so many people from across Hampshire and Wiltshire coming out to support local life-limited and life-threatened children. This year's walk has brought in enough money to pay for 9 complete days of care at our hospices which is a terrific result. This will undoubtedly make a massive difference to children, young people and their families from across Hampshire and Wiltshire.

Digital literacy is a key 21st Century skill. In order to effectively engage globally, English language students need to learn to use digital tools and to express themselves with those tools in English. In this interactive workshop, we will first explore what we mean by digital literacy and we will discuss tools used in classrooms in the United States and in Vietnam. We will then focus on how to give students classroom opportunities to use digital tools to create digital content in English. In particular, we will look at how creating video book reviews gives students opportunities to share their opinions on a book in a new way and how combining audio with images allows students to tell digital stories.

Mini-series tells the maxi-agony of opioid epidemic
There are some stories that seem too big even for Hollywood.
One is the opioid epidemic that overwhelmed the judicial and medical systems. Now Hulu, the streaming network, debuts "Dopesick" on Wednesday (Oct. 13).
The real-life story was "a shocker to me," said Michael Keaton (shown here), who stars. "The ease with which it became epidemic kind of knocked me out." Read more…
By Mike Hughes / October 11, 2021
The real-life story was "a shocker to me," said Michael Keaton (shown here), who stars. "The ease with which it became epidemic kind of knocked me out."
In a typical year, studies said, almost two million Americans misuse opioids, with almost 50,000 of them dying from overdoses. "Seventy percent of all overdoses that happened last year were opioids," said Rosario Dawson, who co-stars.
And unlike other epidemics, this points directly to one company: Purdue Pharma had assured doctors that OxyContin isn't addictive; actually, that National Institutes of Drug Abuse says, it has an addiction rate of 8 to 12 percent. Eventually, Purdue agreed to pay $4.5 billion and to be dissolved.
"I couldn't believe what this company did and how they were able to keep doing it over and over and over for years," said scriptwriter Danny Strong.
Strong is a master of turning real-life drama into TV-movie scripts. He drew an Emmy nomination for "Recount" (about the Bush-Gore finale) and an Emmy win for "Game Change."
But those required sharp cuts; for "Game Change," he reduced the entire 2008 presidential race to the Sarah Palin story. This time, instead of a two-hour movie, he went with an eight-hour format.
"A mini-series … untethers a guy like Danny and allows him to go deep," said actor John Hoogenakker.
That's become a thriving format, Strong said. "So many of the things that I watch are 'Queen's Gambit' and 'Underground Railoroad' and 'Mare of Easttown' – just wonderful progamming."
With that length, he could jump between stories about:
– The Sackler family, owners of Purdue Pharma. Michael Stuhlberg – fresh from being a mobster boss in the "Your Honor" mini-series – plays Richard Sackler, determined to make OxyContin a winner.
– The drug reps, told they were peddling a miracle painkiller.
– A typical victim, played by Kaitlyn Deaver, fresh from her skilled work in the "Dear Evan Hansen" movie. She plays "a hard-working and determined coal miner who gets a back injury and is prescribed OxyContin and is completely unprepared for what is to come," Dever said.
– The federal officials probing this. Hoogenakker and Peter Sarsgaard play real-life figures; Dawson, like most actors, plays a composite character.
– And Keaton, as another composite – a doctor who had moved to rural Virginia. "He followed the woman he was in love with and then fell in love with the place and the people," he said.
That may be a natural fit for Keaton, whose roots are similar to the people there. He grew up in rural Pennsylvania (southwest of Pittsburgh), sometimes working for his dad, a civil engineer and surveyor. These "Dopesick" characters, he said, are sort of people he knows. "It's not too far from where I grew up …. Hopefully, I'm somewhat like (the doctor), because he has a high degree of decency."
Keaton – who once worked for a symbol of decency, Fred Rogers – has had some big-box-office movies ("Beetlejuice," "Mr. Mom" and two Batman films), but lately he's worked on true stories.
He's been an investigative journalist ("Spotlight"), the McDonald's boss ("The Founder"), a lawyer working on 9/11 settlements ("Worth"), an attorney general ("Trial of the Chicago 7") … and now a well-meaning country doctor, prescribing what he was told was a non-addictive drug.

Holly Herndon Reimagines Digital Music
by Ryo Miyauchi
Holly Herndon thinks "laptop music" differently. While others stay busy debating the legitimacy of digital music, Herndon openly embraces the portable computer as an instrument, like one does for a guitar or keyboard. Her music follows her adoration for technology; it's hard to imagine any of her songs created by anything but a computer program.
Due to her tech-minded ways, Herndon's breakthrough 2012 album, "Movement," can sound a bit dehumanizing upon first listen. As house music tends to feed off of analog warmth, Herndon's songs in the album feels hollow, more rooted in the digital frost of techno. The most human aspect of her music, Herndon's own voice, is rendered into repetitious digital data, much like the calculated drums thumping underneath.
But after a good listen into a song like "Fade," the production approach of Herndon in "Movement" becomes more clear. Herndon records and edits her vocals as an instrument equal to a synthesizer. In "Fade," her voice turns into a psychedelic melody and texture for a solid techno single; distorted gasps and sighs becomes another blip of sound in "Movement." In the hands of Herndon, organic sounds are composed into an impressive digital form.
[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHujh3yA3BE]
Herndon recently released "Chorus," one of my favorite songs of 2014. Similar to the songs in "Movement," Herndon collages her vocals in the title track to create a dazzling techno single, only the vocals and sounds are arranged more meticulous.
Despite its experimental form, "Chorus" works impressive as a standard dance single, thanks to Herndon's clean drum work. The snippets of voices may sound foreign, but the groove is definitely present. Out of all the creative things Herndon does in the song, what I love most in "Chorus" is how far out Herndon goes with her abstract ideas while maintaining a balanced, functional dance song.
The music video for "Chorus," directed by Akihiko Takaguchi, visually presents the technology theme in Herndon's music, and it's one of my favorites of the year so far as well. The video explores the current obsessions of digital art and works with a lot of self-referencing. I recommend you experience "Chorus" by watching the video rather than listening to an audio stream, so you get the full creative experience.

PayPal Here mobile card reader: it's like Square, but with way more frozen accounts
Hear that? That's the sound of coins hitting the mental floor at a breakneck pace, and if PayPal's meteoric success is any indication of how it'll do in mobile... well, stockholders should be pleased. Nearly three years after first hearing of Jack Dorsey's Square (formerly 'Squirrel') project, the most hated division of eBay is coming out with a rival. President and CEO of eBay John Donahoe took the wraps off of the device at Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco today, with an aim to bring PayPal to "merchants in the offline world." The plastic triangle module plays a familiar role: pop it into an iPhone, load up an app and swipe until you just can't sell anything else. We're hearing that PayPal will charge merchants 2.7 percent (just 0.05 percent less than Square), but further details -- and even the thing's name -- are still developing.
As much as we jest about PayPal's polarizing nature, we've been victim to one too many unjustified account freezes to become overly joyous here, but we won't kvetch about a little competition. Here's hoping we see rates and fees on the decline thanks to another major player stepping up to bat, but something tells us those kinds of dreams are dreamt only by fools. That aside, the fact that famed designer Yves Behar (profiled here on The Engadget Show) and Fuseproject were tapped to engineer it gets a major thumbs-up from us.
Update: Looks like it'll go by the name Here. PayPal Here. Moreover, the hardware and app will be gratis, and shipments will begin to go out in the US, Canada, Hong Kong, and Australia today. Everyone else will need to sit tight for a few weeks, and we're still digging for information on compatibility beyond the iPhone.
Update 2: Look like Android support will be here at launch, but iOS devices will need to run iOS 4.0 or higher.

Question 1. What do I do if someone in my family passes away?
Question 2. What social security benefits are available?
Question 3. Do you have an onsite crematory?
Question 4. How do I obtain a death certificate?
Questions 5. What death benefits are available for Veterans?
Questions 6. What do I need to bring to the arrangement meeting with the funeral director?
Questions 7. Do you fingerprint each person upon their passing?
Question 8. Can we purchase a monument through your funeral home?
Question 9. What if my loved one passes away out of state?
Question 10. My loved one has been put in a nursing home and we were told that we need to pre-fund his/her funeral. Can I do a medicaid spend-down?
If your loved one passes away while under the care of a facility — such as a nursing home or a hospital — staff from the facility will contact you and notify appropriate authorities themselves. Please let the facility know that you desire to use our funeral home to care for your loved one and they will notify us of the passing.
In the event that no one was present at the time of death, you will need to contact the police.
Our on-call funeral directors will make contact with you and guide you through the all of the necessary steps to follow. They will facilitate the transfer of your loved one's remains to our facility. You will be asked if the deceased has made pre-arrangements and if you give permission for him/her to be embalmed. While of course you can ask any questions you have in your mind at that moment, note that once you visit the funeral home, the arrangements will be discussed in greater detail. During the initial call with the funeral director, you'll also be informed about the things that you need to bring with you to the arrangement meeting.
On your first meeting with us, we will discuss the arrangements for your loved one's funeral service. You will be shown a list of our packages and service options so you can decide what suits your family's preferences and budget. You will be asked whether you'd prefer burial or cremation arrangements and optionally you would select a casket, schedule a time and date for the services, decide on the location of the burial, draft an obituary notice, arrange for vehicle services, and select pallbearers, among other decisions.
If the deceased worked long enough under Social Security to qualify for benefits, some of the family members may be able to receive Social Security benefits. Your funeral director will notify Social Security of your loved one's passing on your behalf. Please read the following information carefully to learn what benefits may be available.
The Social Security website is a valuable resource for information about all of Social Security's programs, including survivors benefits. You can call them toll-free at 1-800-772-1213, or at their local number 1-888-384-9919. Their staff can answer specific questions from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Monday through Friday. They also provide information by automated phone service 24 hours a day.
Should you conclude that cremation is the right decision for your loved one, rest assured that the entire process will be handled with professionalism and dignity. We treat the process of cremation with delicacy and follow a strict protocol from start to finish. We have entrusted Evans Cremation Services with our cremation needs for over 20 years. A four generation family-owned and operated crematory and burial vault company, Evans' dedicated staff provides superior quality of their facilities and their practices. If you are interested in reading about the entire cremation process, it is outlined in detail on Evans Cremation Services' website (link underlined above).
A death certificate is a legal document indicating the cause of death, including other vital statistics pertaining to the deceased, signed by the attending physician, or in some cases, the county medical examiner. Your funeral director will gather the necessary information needed for the completion of the death certificate during the arrangement meeting. You will be asked how many certified copies of the death certificate you need. These certified copies are important when gaining access to bank accounts and safety deposit boxes, claiming for benefits due to the family such as Veteran's benefits or insurance claims, and transferring or selling ownership of properties. Each copy costs $20. After 90 days, you will need to make requests for additional death certificates through the Pennsylvania Vital Records website. The completion of a death certificate involves several parties, including the funeral home, the pronouncing physician or coroner, the Department of Health, and the local registrar. Because of this, it may be several days following a death before we are able to get physical copies to you.
There are a few essential items that we recommend you bring along to the arrangement meeting with your funeral director.
If you would like to capture the touch of someone you love forever, we have relationships established with companies to make this happen through memorial jewelry. We offer Cremation Jewelry, Fingerprint Jewelry and Photo Jewelry. At our funeral home everyone that is brought into our care is fingerprinted. If you are interested in jewelry pieces our staff is available to assist you.
Your family may want to place a permanent record and expression of remembrance in the cemetery upon the burial of a loved one. You will want to do so with dignity, care and assurance that the tribute you select will be a permanent satisfaction for your family. The Funeral Directors at Clyde W. Kraft Funeral Home, Inc. are representatives of the Heritage Estate Monument Company and can assist your family in obtaining a variety of monuments such as: Flat Bronzes, Grass Markers, Slants and Uprights.
The family can personally design and select the monument of their choice.
Your family can rest assured that our funeral directors have had the privildege to assist many families with their choice of monuments that were of superior work at reasonable cost.
In the event that your loved one passes away in another part of the country, please contact us and we will assist you in finding a local funeral home in that area. We will work directly with that funeral home to arrange the transport of your loved one to our facilities.
Our licensed funeral directors are knowledgeable in the necessary steps required to secure your loved one's assets upon admission to a nursing home. You will need to schedule an appointment to sit down with one of our funeral directors to discuss your needs.

Medical student forums extensively discuss study for the USMLE exams. While this is important, because you need to pass the exam, there is a problem with spending a lot of time on rote memorization of numerous facts, since it steals time from understanding the subjects.
Understanding is key to practicing medicine; it enables the physician to provide better individualized patient care than relying on rote cookbook facts. Understanding also facilitates memory and retention. For those of you who have taken large subjects such as Biochemistry or Physiology, have you at the end acquired a broad understanding of the fields, or are you left with isolated points that never quite gelled into a coherent whole?
There is a better approach to medical education than rote memorization of an impossible number of facts. The medical school curriculum should instead insure that the student gains an overall picture and understanding of each subject, rather than cramming in an overbearing number of facts that will later be forgotten, even by the best physicians. These days, it is relatively easy to find isolated points on the Internet and elsewhere. It is not as necessary to remember everything; computers do a better job at that. The USMLE should also focus on understanding, but students are still required to memorize tons of information.
Over the past 32 years, Medmaster has tried to assist medical education by focusing on understanding, rather than rote memorization, through brief, clinically relevant books.
Since one has to study for the USMLE, it is important to maximize the efficiency of study, so that a great deal of material can be reviewed and retained in a short time. Andreas Carl has written Medmaster books for the USMLE Step 1, USMLE Step 2, USMLE Step 3, and NCLEX-RN exams using a unique approach. Rather than just presenting isolated and unrelated points, he has made extensive use of charts that compare one point with related ones; this saves study time. For instance, the chart below compares the most common causes of infection. Apart from having few words, the chart quickly allows the comparison of one disease with another. All his books do the same. His supplementary USMLE and NCLEX-RN Question Banks (available as free downloads from the Medmaster website), make review quicker by combining a number of questions into one, so that 4 or 5 facts can be covered in the time that it ordinarily would take to cover one.

Q: List Adapter Diff Util not updating the List Item in Recyclerview List Adapter diffutil not updating the list item in recyclerview.
It works when I add or remove a item from the list. But not updating the any particular value like isSelected : Boolean = false in object class
How to update the recyclerview view when one of the object class in list is changed like value Boolean changes in one object class
Thankyou
Adapter Class Below
class CategoryMainAdapter(
    var itemClick : CategoryItemClick,
    var screenWidth : Int = 0
) : ListAdapter<CategoryModel, CategoryMainAdapter.CategoryMainViewHolder>(CategoryMainDiffUtils()) {

    inner class CategoryMainViewHolder(val binding : CategorySingleListLayoutBinding) : RecyclerView.ViewHolder(binding.root)

    override fun onCreateViewHolder(parent: ViewGroup, viewType: Int): CategoryMainViewHolder {
        val binding = CategorySingleListLayoutBinding.inflate(LayoutInflater.from
            (parent.context),
            parent,
            false
        )
        return CategoryMainViewHolder(binding)
    }

    override fun onBindViewHolder(holder: CategoryMainViewHolder, position: Int) {
        val model = getItem(position)
        holder.apply {
            binding.apply {
                mainLinearLayout.layoutParams.apply {
                    width = ((screenWidth*22.5).toInt())/100
                    height = (((screenWidth*22.5)/100)*1.2).toInt()
                }
                categoryName.text = model.name
                backgroundColor.setBackgroundColor(model.colorCode)
                categoryImage.load(getImageCorrectImage(model.image, model.secondaryImage)) {
                    error(R.drawable.ic_food_place_holder)
                }

                if (model.isSelected) {
                    categoryName.setTextColor(ContextCompat.getColor(categoryName.context, R.color.main_blue))
                    selectedView.setBackgroundResource(R.drawable.main_blue_curved_bg)
                    categoryImage.apply {
                        animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(context, R.anim.category_zoom_in_anim)
                        setPadding(0, 0, 0, 0)
                    }
                } else {
                    categoryName.setTextColor(setColorByAttrProgrammatically(categoryName.context, R.attr.colorOnSecondary))
                    selectedView.setBackgroundResource(android.R.color.transparent)
                    categoryImage.apply {
                        animation = AnimationUtils.loadAnimation(context, R.anim.category_zoom_out_anim)
                        setPadding(1, 1, 1, 1)
                    }
                }
            }
            itemView.apply {
                setOnClickListener {
                    itemClick.onCategoryClick(model)
                }
            }
        }
    }

    class CategoryMainDiffUtils : DiffUtil.ItemCallback<CategoryModel>() {
        override fun areItemsTheSame(oldItem: CategoryModel, newItem: CategoryModel): Boolean {
            return oldItem.isSelected == newItem.isSelected
        }

        override fun areContentsTheSame(oldItem: CategoryModel, newItem: CategoryModel): Boolean {
            return oldItem == newItem
        }

    }

    override fun submitList(list: MutableList<CategoryModel>?) {
        super.submitList(list?.let { ArrayList(it) })
    }
}

A: Try update your DiffUtil to something like:
class CategoryMainDiffUtils : DiffUtil.ItemCallback<CategoryModel>() {
    override fun areItemsTheSame(oldItem: CategoryModel, newItem: CategoryModel): Boolean {
        return oldItem.id == newItem.id // or compare something unique
    }

    override fun areContentsTheSame(oldItem: CategoryModel, newItem: CategoryModel): Boolean {
        return oldItem == newItem // or if data class is large, compare only things that might change, also please note that only data class on kotlin has auto generated equals() method
    }

}

A: First of, the implementation of areContentsTheSame and areItemsTheSame probably needs to be switched. areContentsTheSame is the one that checks if things in your items are different. areItemsTheSame is about whether it is the same item. If the items have an id you might want to compare them instead of the item themselves. But that alone probably won't fix your issue.
The thing is, ListAdapter works best if the list has items that are immutable. Ideally you want to submit a new list every time you call submitList. Because if you change a property like isSelected in the existing lisk and simply call submitList with that same list nothing will happen.
So what you want to do is instead of changing the isSelected property you need to create a copy of the list and in that copy alone you change the isSelected and pass the copy to submitList.
This can be tedious to make. An alternative ugly workaround that might work is to add a second property maybe called oldIsSelected and only change that one in the DiffUtil itself, like this
    override fun areContentsTheSame(oldItem: CategoryModel, newItem: CategoryModel): Boolean {
        val result = oldItem.oldIsSelected == newItem.isSelected
        newItem.oldIsSelected = newItem.isSelected
        return result
    }


The educational voucher ("Bildungsgutschein") permits persons eligible for educational vouchers to choose their personal further training measures. Specifically linguistic further training is an attractive educational component that may increase your chances of getting a job.
We start language courses for persons eligible for educational vouchers at regular intervals at the Ingolstadt site. To participate in a language course like this, just drop by with your educational voucher. We will gladly personally inform you about the type of course and the starting dates and complete your sign-up with an internal further training contract on site.
We will gladly advise you if you have any more questions!
Who will get a "Bildungsgutschein"?
The Bildungsgutschein (transl. Educational voucher) is a concept for state cost assumption of further training programmes with the objective of increasing the job opportunities of those eligible for educational vouchers by promoted further training.
If the necessary promotional requirements are present, the Agenturen für Arbeit may issue educational vouchers for previously individually determined education demands.
For more information, see www.arbeitsagentur.de.
There is no general claim to an educational voucher - it is a "can-service" and the decision about it is made from case to case. The promotional decision is subject to the discretion of the individual consultants. Persons who are registered as unemployed and in need of promotion may acquire an educational voucher. The educational voucher is awarded if interested persons give reasons for their personal education demand and present further training as the right instrument for integration in the labour market. Why do opportunities for finding work increase with the intended further training? Do you already have any offers for a job if you document specific knowledge?


I have it on good authority that retiarius are "gaylords."
totp shame edit: that was a Venture Bros reference.
And I don't usually approve of the term "gaylord" being used.
Unless someone is actually acting like a gaylord.
I got really tired at work of people bitching about me buying skim or 2%. Half wanted one and half the other.
So one time just to teach everyone a lesson I bought one percent and was like "THERE NOW NOBODY IS HAPPY".
They let me buy whatever milk after that.
So, can anyone at least tell me how you set up an IRC channel? I have no idea how people run IRC PnP RPG games and I'd like to know so I can do it myself.
I don't like to repeat myself, but I'd like an answer please. It'll be good for my think-pan to do some role=playing, methinks.
And I don't usually approve of the term "gaylord" being used. Unless someone is actually acting like a gaylord.
What about people who are happy and with a title of nobility?
Nah not at that point.
But when I cut that baby in half, yeah sure I guess.
Have you tried the google? Or IRC help files?
IRC is an old system, and there are a LOT of help/faq stuff. Your best bet is probably to sift through it and figure it out for yourself. Much like with any new system, doing it yourself will yield both better results and greater mastery.
The main problem you fight on the internet is player inactivity.
IRC needs all your players to be online at the same time (which very quickly gets timezone constricted), and the one time I hosted a maptools game it felt kinda wonky because interaction is slower when people need to type out stuff. You can counter this with ventrilo a bit in some cases.
PbP is very very slow. (Don't count on a single round of combat being done within 48h) I tried to get a DW (which is admittedly, a pretty complicated system) running, but my players are just showing up less and less, to the point that by now I'm assuming it dead. You could of course chase everyone with PMs all the time.
You could look into maptools as an option if you want to run a realtime event. The fact that it allows GM aliases and such is a huge boon, even if you aren't going to be drawing out maps (Drawing out maps = huge effort).
I also once considered a combo PbP / Maptools, where between the sessions players can banter, then the session is more combat oriented.
So I take it it's complicated and time-consuming?
Back during the first world war the debt ceiling was instituted because America had never had so much debt so they thought they should cap it. Since then, the debt ceiling has been a law. Now the debt ceiling is the cap on which the US Treasury can issue US Bonds(aka debt) to pay the bills. Once the ceiling is hit(August 2nd) the US Treasury can no long pay our bills by issuing bonds(default). This has a few effects. First effect is that the US stops paying its bills, this makes our bonds worth less and thus raises the interest on them. So the interest on our debt goes up. Which is a bad thing. Second the US government basically has to shut down because there is no money to pay for anything. Bonds are only as good as you can sell them for.
Now this has repercussions on things such as social security since we hold the trust fund in US bonds. When the price of those bonds drop the amount of money in the trust and such drops thus hurting social security for example.
Basically it is making us look like a really big Greece which pretty much has taken down the Eurozone by itself. So we take out the world since many nations buy US Treasury Bonds to hold their money and such. So its not just us they are playing chicken with.
Now, Ronya or one of the economist can explain this a whole lot better but that is what I understand it as.
Running a game tends to be no matter if it's face to face, IRC or PbP.
Excuse me while I go assume the fetal position in the corner.
I wish I knew what those words meant.
Well, basically if it doesn't get raise, which is will even if its a work around, it kills China, the US and pretty much drags anyone who uses US Bonds to hold money down a lovely pit. Also this isn't counting how it will sky rocket interest rates which means less lending and capital out there than the small amount already.
Basically kiss the slight recovery goodbye and welcome in your new depression masters.
I oft wondered what it'd feel like to buy a loaf of bread with a wheelbarrow full of money, Deutsche Mark style.
I guess soon I won't have to wonder.
It's an IRC command. In the chat box, just type in /join #21st_Century's_game.
@21stCentury, I PMed you. Tell me what you want to know, I'll do my best to help.
The debt ceiling will be raised. The only question is what the attachments will be. This isn't turning out like the Republicans had hoped (a way to attack Obama for not being bipartisan, the crowd isn't with them on this). It could be they'll raise it a very limited amount, to make sure it has to be raised once again just before the elections. It could be that there will be some draconian cuts attached.
Eddy, chu, etc. dost thou wishest to playest lolest. I can only stand some people. You guys are nice.
is my understanding of American Politics correct?
There's two parties. Republicans, who are all about rich people and hate everything the Democrats do and yell a lot and Democrats, who are all about rich people, sometimes also about not rich people, hate everything the republicans do and generally try not to make too much noise.
Americans have to choose between the two and their platform is pretty much always "What my opponent said, but the opposite".
Also, each vote isn't worth the same because of a guy named Gerry Manders who decided states should vote, not people, so people vote for a state and then the winning party takes all the votes together, therefore erasing those of the losing party.


Mentioned here by skittixch in a little detail is a really innovative idea for a delivery network that I think deserves some more attention.
Since the thread it was posted in was for a robotic delivery network, it's not being discussed more.
Personally, I love the idea of flying, autonomous delivery services as much as the next guy, but I think this conversation needs some re-alignment. The issue more presently at hand is that of a lack of decentralized distribution services. I had an idea for such a system.
Bitdrop would be a system for human "runners" to pass goods from person to person in the most cryptographically secure way possible.
Person A negotiates a sale of an item to person B online.
Upon deciding on BitDrop as means of distribution, distance would be calculated and current gas prices would be tabulated. This is the base shipping cost.
Person A types in their "willing to travel" radius, and, the machine would chew on the data and randomly/securely spit back out an exact lat-lon point within that radius.
A nearby runner gets notified that a package is ready for distribution. He's signed up with his own "willing to travel" radius as well. Ideally, if there are enough warm bodies in the chain, the venn diagrams all start overlapping, and form a human supply chain.
As far as black market goods go, I've thought of this scenario. The TOS for bitdrop would state specifically that transfer of illegal goods is strictly prohibited; however, you may anonymously mark your package "shaded" if you feel the contents pose risk for any member of the chain, including senders, receivers and most importantly, runners. Shaded goods may be distributed exclusively via dead drops, and runners can opt into notifications of shaded packages, but only after a GPG trust threshold is passed, so a significant time expenditure is required before you go "googling for drugs". You basically knowingly waive your rights when you deal with shaded transacations. That being said, I'm sure it would turn into a profitable venture for risk-takers, while keeping clean runners away from things that could land them in jail for trafficking.
I don't expect my first ramblings to be the end-all-be-all of this system, but unless I'm way off base, I think the concept has potential. I actually wrote up an extensive post detailing this idea yesterday, and stupidly hit f5 before I sent it, erasing my whole post instantly... I'd love to hear feedback and concerns.
If it will be done I will say "cyberpunk is now".
I want to be a runner. I have small, quiet, incredibly fast and highly efficient electrically powered bicycles, trikes, scooters, motorcycles sitting around all charged up ready for action. I can travel by road, sidewalk, dirt path, with or without signaling lighting activated depending on situation. Plus I dictate my own schedule, and often find myself making short excursions late at night around my town just for fun. I'll often message GPS coordinates for friends to meet me. Sounds like a great way to make some money while getting out into the world.
This seems like a great service. I especially like the idea of recruiting idle delivery people.
Hmm I need to rent Johnny Mnemonic.
Oh yeah! (that was such a cool idea, but such a terrible movie).
I'm no coder, and I don't have the time or experience to spearhead something of this complexity, but I really appreciate you taking my idea and giving it to more eyeballs.
I'm going to be doing something with this(coding it up), I've spent quite a bit of time thinking about it, and I've got a lot to add (will over the next few days, busy now).
Can't start right now on development, currently doing bitcoin stock market, and there is a pre-requisit of a reputation system (which I've also got figured out and is my next mission) before something like this could be done.
It's going to be done, hopefully before the full summer kicks in.
Exactly, also, I envision lots of kids, think 10-15 years old who aren't allowed to work doing deliveries or collections on bikes 2-3miles from their home.
I remember when I was 12,13, bored, no money, and not allowed to work (what a load of rubbish that is). This is a going to be a great way for them to earn bitcoin.
Im into this. I would be very interested in being involved.
you guys are seriously making my week (and it's just getting started!) Nefario, please let me know if I can help out at all. I'm all ears.
Down to be a runner in my area can carry anything and have certain experience doing it already.
During the summer we had this local wargame with about 100 people playing and i was one of the messengers.
Did you get chased do this or shot at(bb gun, paintball gun?)?
I'd be interested in doing some coding for this project. I'm new to Python (I assume you'd use the same language), but not to the programming world.
Along with the initial idea (the subject of this post) some extra details.
1)Use Tor style onion routing to deliver packages.
Every node(person doing delivery) must have a gpg key.
When a new package is to be entered into the system the sytem works out the route, selecting the appropriate nodes.
It then uses the nodes public key to encrypt the nodes delivery location.
The result is that each node can only know the location they deliver to and not the final destination of the package. If geocaching is used then each node doesn't even know who the previous node was.
Person in New York wants to deliver a package to Washington D.C.
Logs into the system, gives the pickup(either someone comes to collect the package, or the user delivers it to the first drop off point), and the final destination.
The system works out the optimal route, notifies all the soon to be involved nodes, and gives the user the first drop off point for the package (or someone will come and collect it).
The person who collects the package first is the first node, the only information they have been given is where to collect the package and where to deliver it to, the next location is the collection point for the next node and so on.
The result is each node knows only a portion of the route, it increases privacy, and the strngth of the delivery network.
I'm also thinking of having an android app that each node can use to sign the delivery of the package to the next node (using gpg), so if something happens to the package we know who's responsible, it also allows some measure of package tracking for the customer.
Each node gets a portion of the overall payment for it's delivery.
Great! Anyway this should be an "option".
So it will be possible to chose the level of security, and also "drone" should have the possibility to chose to be a tor-like drone or not.
I think I understand what you're saying.
You would like to be able to opt-out of packages that are risky(unknown, possible illegal contents), this can be done.
If someone wants package privacy then it's marked as a dark package, and only nodes(couriers) who have said they will accept dark packages will get it. Normal packages get inspected and signed off by the first delivery node, or something like that.
Dark packets because they are higher risk cost more, someone willing to deliver them can charge more.


On a slow moving train past Reading depot this AM I was able to see the arrival of what I can only suspect is the first Class 319 EMU being 'cascaded' to GWR usage.
It certainly looked worse for wear - sporting the dull ex-Govia Thameslink colours.
I can only only presume the units will be brought up to GWR specification by Reading depot skills ? I think they have their work cut out.
If it was looking that bad I'm going to take a guess that perhaps it was in First Capital Connect livery with Thameslink stickers on it. Incidentally it has been reported that a few have already been delivered to Reading depot according to this thread from 23rd January.
Incidentally there seems a growing collection of ex-Thameslink 319s at Reading depot, but as far as I can see from the passing train they don't look to have any additional underfloor gubbins by way of diesel engines, generators etc. Anyone know why?
Correct, at least 2 (possibly more?) have arrived.
The idea is that these are only temporary and to be used for driver training/familiarisation to have them in good stead for when the class 769s arrive.
I thought the intention was for these 319s to be used for driver training purposes to get a head start on when the 769s are delivered later this year. Although with timing of everything I guess you never know what might happen. Originally though they were turbo replacements, so not much difference in vintage there.
Yes, at the moment they're there for staff familiarisation- both depot maintenance staff and drivers. They might be pushed into action should the 769s not arrive in a timely manner. Which looks quite possible!
You can see the press along the Thames Valley getting hold of this: 'Brand new trains replaced by ones built in the 1980's'. Another Dft mess for the GWR PR machine to have to manage. 'Please Sir, why are our of new trains being replaced by c**p built in the 1980's? I thought we sent all that down to the West Country in the form of the Turbos'.
The PR approach is surely going to be "due to the delay in Crossrail starting, there is a temporary shortage of trains to fill" - with a bit of insinuation if the facts don't quite match. It's an old trick but it's been known to work.
Well, before anyone gets too excited the 319s aren't 'crap' and in the form of their reincarnation of 769s look pretty smart, probably even smarter when in the GWR livery which has suited everything it's so far been applied to - and I believe air-cooling is being fitted to the GWR ones.
Let's not forget that the original electrification plan had us getting a whole load of 319s, until that morphed into the 387s we have now. When the 769s arrive they will mostly be used to provide a much needed capacity boost on the North Downs line - though I have reservations about how well they will work as a tri-mode train. Any use of actual 319s is likely to be very short lived, before the 769s replace them, indeed it might not happen.
Though I guess if the press want to spin it in a negative way then they will be able to do so, witness negative press about the HST's heading to Scotrail which they have been forced to defend, despite many people down here eager to keep them. You just can't win!
A more negative thing in my mind is the replacement of 332s on the premium Heathrow Express service with the anything-but-premium look and feel of a commuter train like the 387 - even if it is an excellent commuter train. I doubt the modifications that will be made will change them that much.
It's not just at Reading where 319's are arriving.
The clip below shows Bolton (that's in Lancashire) this morning.
Would I be correct that there are plenty of stations on the North Downs Line where a 4-coach train won't fit?
I presume SDO will be fitted and cover for those that don't as I don't think extensions are being considered? 4-car 769s are nominally 80 metres against a 3-car Turbo at 69 metres, so not much longer.
Looking at the SA only Sandhurst (78.64m) and Gomshall( 91.44m?) are down for 3 car.
The rest are at least 4 car (based presumably on 20m/car).
Beginners question but are these Electric/Bi-bode/diesel and will my regular turbo from Oxford now have a few more seats?
319 is purely an EMU, but has 750V DC (3rd rail pick-up) and 25,000V AC (from overhead wires using a pantograph) capability.
As such they are ideal for GWR, as they can be used under the wires, on 3rd rail (like various sections between Reading and Gatwick) and away from both - possibly to Oxford, Basingtoke and maybe Bedwyn?
Almost, I think they'd be more appropriately classed as an EDMU as they are primarily electric, but that's splitting hairs.
Anyway, AFAIK the first round of the 769s will be just 25kV and diesel, with the ability to run on 750v DC to follow. The useful thing about the 319's is that the 25kV is transformed down to 750v, with a power bus running down the train. So the concept of the 769's is that the diesel engine and generator sets effectively pump 750v into that power bus, as though the unit was running on the third rail, so you can more or less use the same control gear, with a bit of extra kit in the cab to keep an eye on the engine. As ever though, the devil is in the detail and I believe that you need some fairly clever electronics to keep the two gensets from upsetting each other, which amongst other things is why they're still not in service yet.
The 3rd-rail compatible 769's I believe need some extra switchgear to keep the engines isolated from the shoegear, no idea how far that has progressed yet.
As for usage, remember that in the modern railway everything has to be cleared to the nth degree, drivers have to be trained etc, so I would expect a relatively narrow swathe of London to Reading and then Reading to Gatwick once the 769 conversion is in place.

Last week, we shared some tips and easy ways to help you get more traffic to your website. In part 2 of the same guide, we will help you discover 20 more easy ways to get even more traffic to your website.
Every once in a while, visit your Google Analytics and find out where traffic is coming from. Also determine the phrases and keywords people are typing into search engines to come to your site. You can also use free stats sites like AW Stats Log Analyzer to get information on your website stats like number of visitors, what brings them there, where do they go next and so on.
Many business association websites list member sites online as long as they are in the same niche.
We already talked about this easy way to get more traffic to your website, but felt we should repeat it here since it comes with its share of pros and cons. Forums can be great since they tend to bring members over and over to your site. However, forums also come several disadvantages. For one, you might have to 'seed' them in the beginning to get traffic. You will also need to remove spam from time to time, or hire moderators across time zones to remove the spammy comments. Also, your forums should bring visitors to your newsletter-else they will just come to your site and leave without being of any advantage to you.
We all love free stuff- so you can give away free reports or eBooks in PDF format and distribute it to other websites or through newsletters with a link back to your site. You can also get together with affiliates to publish brandable reports-add their links-so you both benefit. You can even distribute your eBooks by searching for eBook directories on Google and listing it here.
Seek out forums on other sites in your niche. Offer to become a moderator for that forum and give out advice and tips. In return, you will get free publicity to your site.
This is one of the easiest ways to get more traffic to your website. Write something controversial-but make sure you report facts accurately. You will get thousands of people coming to your site and commenting on it. People will even share the link. You will have to be a tough cookie since you might be criticized for your views. Alternatively, you could be outrageously funny so people will share the link on social media or other funny sites that get millions of visitors.
Once people start perceiving you as an expert on certain topics, you can get interview calls which, in turn, can help you get targeted traffic to your website.
The headline of your post can make a lot of difference to how it is perceived. Make a list of 15 headlines (at least, because you can even make 20 if you have the time). Read them again and again before settling on the best.
Apart from SEO in your blogs and images, make sure you also optimize all your pages for the Search Engines. Keep creating links to internal content and related pages. Also make sure you check your images for the Alt tabs and pay special attention to your long tail keywords (by searching for what readers are looking for in forums or answer sites like Yahoo-answers etc.
Make sure the bloggers you invite are experts though and have high PR –this way, when they mention you on their site, they can get their readers to visit your site as well.
LinkedIn is the world's largest professional social media site that is not just a means of finding a job but also a platform for publishing content. Make sure you are regular in posting though-doing so can boost traffic to your site and also increase your worth in your industry or niche.
This has its pros and cons and you have to decide what you want the ads to do: simply get more traffic or also increase your conversions. You must also target high commercial intent words when reaching out for the credit card.
While this won't necessarily increase traffic to your website-it will certainly help make it easier for your site to be found by search engines.
15. Does your site load quickly?
Technically optimize your pages so that they load fast. Your bounce rate will go up if your site loads slowly.
Aggregator sites like Reddit accept good content as long as you do not spam them by disguising your link. Choose relevant sub-reddit and submit your content there. This will help bring in lot of traffic to the site.
We have mentioned this before- visuals grab attention more than text does. So make sure you include videos as a part of your content strategy.
Curating content means finding the best information pertaining to one particular topic and enlisting it on your site. For example, if your blog is about healthy recipes, you can write an article on, say, Top 35 best recipes with Avocado and find all the top recipes that are ranking high in the category. Then link back to those websites with a brief introduction. What this does is-it gives readers a single shop stop to find relevant information they are seeking. Make sure you open links in different windows to keep people on your site.
Use sites like BuzzSumo to find out the most shared content and include that on your site with a little something extra.
People love to learn-so include live webinars and presentations which they can watch and learn from. Make sure the webinars are available for viewing later as well. Promote the webinars through usual channels like Facebook, Twitter and your email newsletters. Here are steps how to do a webinar.
