When you rent a roll off dumpster, you may be enticed to throw anything and everything indoors. Common things which folks usually dispose of in a dumpster include solid waste material and most routine household and building waste, together with tree limbs and landscaping debris. They could also be used for business and commercial cleanouts, home renovations, getting cleared of trash when you are moving to another home, bigger landscaping jobs and more.
A record of things you cannot place in a roll off dumpster contains paints and solvents, automotive fluids, pesticides, chemicals, electronics and batteries. Should you make an effort to include these things, you will probably end up with an extra fee. Other things which will certainly incur an additional fee include tires, mattresses and appliances. Extra heavy stuff are also not permitted; things which are too heavy may surpass government transportation regulations and be dangerous to haul.
There are lots of things to consider when selecting a local or national garbage bins rental company in Alturas. Follow these guidelines that will help you select which option is better for you.
A local garbage bins rental company in Alturas may offer better customer services that help you finish your job while keeping costs low. A lot of them, nonetheless, have a restricted variety of dumpsters to rent. If you don't schedule an appointment in advance, you may not have the option you need.
A national garbage bins rental company in Alturas will generally have more sizes and layouts to meet the unique needs of your project. National firms are likewise an excellent choice for construction teams that work in a number of cities. Some folks, however, complain that national firms aren't as flexible as locally owned firms.
A roll off dumpster is delivered to your job place and left there until you need a truck to haul it and your debris away. They often have open tops and a door on the front. That makes it easy for workers to load a wide selection of debris into the dumpster.
A front load dumpster has mechanical arms that that lift containers off the earth. The arms lean to pour the debris into the truck's dumpster. This is really a useful option for companies that amass large amounts of garbage.
While roll off dumpsters are generally left on place, front load dumpsters will come pick up debris on a set program. That makes it possible for sanitation professionals to eliminate garbage and rubbish for multiple residences and companies in the area at affordable prices.
Dumpster totes may offer an alternative to roll of dumpsters. Whether this alternative works well for you, however, will depend on your endeavor. Consider these pros and cons before you decide on a disposal option that works for you.
It's hard to beat a roll off dumpster when you have a sizable undertaking that'll create lots of debris. Most rental companies include dropping off and picking up the dumpster in the costs, so you can prevent additional fees. Roll off dumpsters normally have time restrictions because firms have to get them back for other customers. This really is a possible downside if you're not good at meeting deadlines.
Dumpster totes in many cases are convenient for small occupations with free deadlines. In the event you don't desire a lot of room for debris, then the bags could work well for you. Many companies are also happy to let you maintain the totes for so long as you want. That makes them useful for longer projects.
When you rent a temporary dumpster, your aim is to fill it up and have the waste hauled away. But in case you want your waste recycled, you may have to go about it in a slightly different manner. Waste in the majority of temporary dumpsters isn't recycled as the containers are so big and carry so much material.
If you're interested in recycling any waste from your project, check into getting smaller containers. Many garbage bins rental firms in Alturas have a wide range of containers available, including those for recycling. All these are usually smaller than temporary dumpsters; they're the size of regular trash bins and smaller.
Should you'd like to recycle, find out whether the business you're working with uses single stream recycling (you do not have to sort the substance) or in the event that you will need to organize the recyclable material into distinct containers (aluminum cans, cardboard, plastics, etc.) This is going to make a difference in the total number of containers you should rent.

The next alliance in the kill list is actually a corp. A WH corp to be specific, with extremely green killboard.
The inflation factor of this alliance is: 138%. Below you can see which alliances helped it the most by shooting the same target. Please note that damage is capped by own damage, so if the analyzed alliance did 1B damage, X did 2B, Y did 8B, then X get 0.2B help, Y get 0.8B, as their help provided 1B de-inflated damage.
Let's continue with the bane of CFC, Mordus Angels. They were much smaller in 2014 than in 2015, not in terms of roster, but in kills. Still, they killed awful lot of CFC. I'd like you to look at the monthly chart and see the ever-increasing activity, along with the green color everywhere. However I'd like to point out that their ISK was "just" 65% a year ago against CFC elements, while it's 75% nowadays. Also, many corps left and new ones with better numbers arrived. MoA was much weaker a year ago.
The inflation factor of this alliance is: 252%. Below you can see which alliances helped it the most by shooting the same target. Please note that damage is capped by own damage, so if the analyzed alliance did 1B damage, X did 2B, Y did 8B, then X get 0.2B help, Y get 0.8B, as their help provided 1B de-inflated damage.


Compliance codes are an important part of the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) legislative framework In Victoria. They provide practical guidance to duty holders. If a person complies with a provision of a compliance code, they are deemed to comply with the OHS legislative duty covered by the code provision. However, compliance codes are not mandatory, and a duty holder may choose to use some other way to achieve compliance.
Whilst most of the above codes are either new or have been reviewed and revised following changes to OHS Regulations (remade in 2017). Those marked with an asterisk were issued in 2008 and have yet to be reviewed. They are likely to be updated in the future according to a WorkSafe source.

Q: How to pass data between Application components My scenario
1) I know how to communicate between activites/service etc I am working on android 4+
2) I have a listview which generates  a list of all the songs(which is a fragment)
3) Now upon clicking upon any song,the whole list(mind it,the whole list and not just one song) is passed to a new activity.
4) This new activity launches a service again passing the whole list to a service to play the songs..
The help that I need
Now i want to create some other dialogue/activity etc to show the now playing list,which can be edited by the user.My question is how should i do it ??i mean should i do it in an activity/dialogue/ or some other stuff,so that the interaction between these activities  and service remains very less?How can i efficiently reflect  changes happening in the now playing list to be reflected in the service as well as the new activity ?I am already creating so many copies of the same list so many times i just don't know how i can avoid making another copy ?

A: I suggest you to create a model for your song list. And work with Singleton. Make static access to your model using events\controllers or directly from Singleton. If you need to pass same data over so many places it would be much better to store it in common place where everyone have access.
Singletone is a class that only constructed once in the application and everyone have access to it. It could be some thing like this:
public class MySingletone{
     private MySingletone(){}
     public static final MySingletone instance = new MySingletone();

     public MyModel getListModel(){
         // return your model here
     }
}

"Gentle Groove," a current exhibition by artist Angela Teng, presents work that cleverly blurs the line between traditional painting and crafting. She does this by turning acrylic paint into colorful strands that she is then able to crochet like yarn into abstract wall-hanging pieces.
The results of Teng's innovative process integrate the familiar sheen of a painted surface with the repetitive texture of crocheted fabric in a stunningly unusual juxtaposition of traditional processes and materials.
This indulgence of paint provides visual pleasure, while the tactile and sculptural qualities evoke a direct relationship to the body through the physicality of the paint itself.
The images in the slideshow below illustrate the various iterations that Teng has gone through in order to blend painting with crochet in unorthodox ways, including painting onto crocheted fabric as well as weaving thick layers of paint on top of canvas.
So, if you happen to be in the Vancouver, British Columbia area in the next month, and you'd like to see these unique hybrids of painting and crafting in the flesh, then be sure to stop by Wil Aballe Art Projects where the work will be on display through February!

USS Liberty Veterans Association BANNED FOREVER From the American Legion National Convention
An American Legion membership card fluttering down and landing softly on the blouse of an American Legion clerk results in the USS Liberty Veterans Association being BANNED from The American Legion National Convention FOREVER.
by Joe Meadors
"You will not discuss the attack with anyone. Once the Court of Inquiry findings are released you will not contradict them. This order will remain in effect after you are discharged from the Navy. If you violate this order you will be prosecuted and will spend a considerable amount of time in a Federal Prison."
This order was repeated every day at quarters while we were in drydock in Malta.
If anyone tells of witnessing the deliberate machine gunning of our life rafts in the water, he runs the risk of doing time in a Federal prison.
If anyone tells of witnessing the use of unmarked aircraft or of the jamming of our radios on both US Navy tactical and international maritime distress frequencies, he runs the risk of doing time in a Federal prison.
We cannot talk about this among ourselves. We cannot talk about this with our family. We cannot talk about this with any counselor. We cannot talk about this at a meeting of any veterans group we may become involved with. We cannot talk about this with our Congressional Delegation. We cannot talk about this at The American Legion National Convention.
We cannot talk about this with anyone.
If we do, we risk Federal prison.
Kevin J. Bartlett, J.D., National Judge Advocate of The American Legion
But we defy the Federal Government and speak about the attack anywhere we can.
But now we cannot talk about it at The American Legion National Convention.
In an email to the USS Liberty Veterans Association, Kevin J. Bartlett, J.D., National Judge Advocate of The American Legion (and US Navy Veteran) writes:
"I understand that your organization would like to submit an application for a booth at The American Legion National Convention in August.
"The USS Liberty Association is not allowed to rent a booth at national conventions and have them staffed because one of your members committed assault and battery on one of our staff and was convicted of his crimes. In addition, members of your organization have attempted to set up in the national convention exhibit hall without renting a booth.
"The American Legion has a 100-year track record of helping veterans and their families. Unfortunately, we've had a long and unpleasant history with the USS Liberty Veterans Association, and we have chosen not to do business with them."
The American Legion has known for decades the constraints we have had place on us. Do they care? No.
Instead of offering us the honor, support and compassion they routinely offer their members, they have chosen to take an relatively minor issue that was largely of their making, blow it all out of proportion, accuse someone they claim to be a USS Liberty survivor of trying to set up an unauthorized booth and ban us from their National Convention forever.
All without the opportunity of appealing their decision. And without any reference to their Constitution and bylaws or Resolution that allows them to take the action they did.
This action by the hired help of The American Legion National Headquarters wasn't taken in a vacuum. The National Organization has a long record of trying to stifle USS Liberty survivors in our effort to tell the story of what happened on a US Navy ship. Given the tremendous support we have from the rank and file of The American Legion, it is clear that The American Legion National Headquarters is governing by fiat instead of by the rule of its membership as reflected in Resolutions initiated by its local posts.
An extensive and heavily footnoted telling of the history between The American Legion and the USS Liberty Veterans Association is available here. We are indebted to If Americans Knew for the effort they made to so expertly outline the history between the two veterans groups.
IAK writes:
"Legion bigwigs have torpedoed American Legion members' resolutions supporting the Liberty; prevented dissemination of information about the attack; refused to allow a booth by the Liberty Veterans Association at its 2013 national convention; and privately attempted to convince the Veterans of Foreign Wars to similarly prohibit a Liberty booth at its national convention."
"In 2002 the Washington DC Legion delegation introduced a resolution calling for an investigation of the attack to a foreign relations subcommittee at the national convention. This was the first step towards procuring an American Legion resolution.
"I was present at this convention and witnessed most of what subsequently transpired. I had begun to investigate Israel-Palestine in fall 2000, a topic I had never previously studied. I was astonished at much of what I discovered, including the Israeli attack on the Liberty, which I had never heard about despite growing up in a military family.
"When I heard that a resolution was going to be introduced at the national convention, I went with the delegation to observe what happened.
"When the DC group introduced the resolution to the subcommittee, every American Legion delegate who addressed it spoke in favor of it. Delegate after delegate from diverse parts of America supported the resolution, and it was passed without objection.
"The DC delegates were jubilant. When a resolution is passed at this level, they explained, it is virtually assured of adoption. Typically, the resolution is then rubber-stamped by the next committee, and passed along to the general membership, which then normally passes all such committee recommended resolutions by one simple voice vote.
"This resolution, however, was to be different.
"The next day, American Legion staff told the Convention Committee on Foreign Relations that there was no need for such a resolution since the Legion already had passed resolutions on the Liberty. The staff and chair neglected to state that not a single resolution on the USS Liberty was live, and that therefore it was both necessary and appropriate to pass this one.
"This communication succeeded in killing the resolution. The main staff member for this committee had served in Israel; it is possible he is an Israeli citizen. The Committee chairman was Thomas Bock, of Colorado.[29] Three years later Bock was American Legion National Commander.
That evening, back in D.C., Admiral Thomas Moorer (USN retired) heard about the scuttling of the resolution. Outraged, he wrote an open letter to the American Legion Commander requesting that the resolution be put before the general membership.
Admiral Moorer was chairman of an association of admirals and generals who want the US government to conduct a hearing on the USS Liberty. He was also the former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — the highest ranking military officer in the U.S. military — and a retired 4-star admiral who was once in charge of both the Pacific and Atlantic fleets. He was a Naval aviator and World War II hero; the Navy's Tomcat fighter jet was named after him.
"Moorer had long been outraged at the cover-up on the Liberty attack. In a 1997 memo, he called it a "wanton, sneak attack," writing: "What is so chilling and cold-blooded, of course, is that they could kill as many Americans as they did in confidence that Washington would cooperate in quelling any public outcry." Many of the crewmembers, Moorer wrote, were from "small country towns, probably a lot like Eufaula, Alabama, where I grew up, and they represent the basic core of America …. ""
One has only to look to their reference to the USS Liberty in their Leadership FAQ to learn that they have chosen to support a Revisionist version of the attack instead of one supported by evidence and facts.
What is The American Legion doing about the USS Liberty tragedy?
The tragic mistaken identity attack by Israelis on the USS Liberty on June 8, 1967 provoked a great deal of controversy among surviving members of the crew and family members. Though residual anger and suspicions remain, the incident was the subject of ten US investigations and three by the Israelis. In the American investigations, the full weight of the US Government allowed access to all of the relevant security information. Though some accusations were made suggesting the reports sought to hide facts or protect Israel, no credible evidence for these charges has been produced at the US Government level.
The Foreign Relations Convention Committee of The American Legion reviewed the action taken by OSD and Congress on this incident and they voted to reject Resolution 235 submitted by the Department of District of Columbia at the 84th Annual National Convention in Charlotte, North Carolina, August 2002.
This position is a gross misrepresentation of the evidence currently available – a fact that we have made The American Legion aware of but they are obviously not interested in acknowledging.
In the first place, there is no "controversy among surviving members of the crew and family members."
Second, the incident was NOT "the subject of ten US investigations and three by the Israelis." Prove that for yourself by emailing your Congressional Delegation and ask them to send you a copy of the Congressional investigation of the attack. They won't be able to send you one because it doesn't exist.
Third, Congress hasn't taken any action on this "incident" so what the Foreign Relations Convention Committee reviewed is in question. A question The American Legion refuses to (i.e., cannot) answer.
Why would the leaders of a Federally chartered veterans association claiming a mission "To uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America," "To foster and perpetuate a one hundred percent Americanism," and "To make right the master of might" ban a group of American veterans who are the victims of War Crimes committed by our "best ally and only friend in the Middle East" from attending any American Legion National Convention forever?
Did I just answer my own question?
Are the leaders of The American Legion afraid that their members will learn about the War Crimes Israel committed during the attack and are blowing up this relatively minor event to prevent our relating the history of the attack during their National Convention?
This unilateral action by The American Legion was not taken in a vacuum. The American Legion and the USS Liberty Veterans Association have a long history. That history, in our opinion, shows a concerted, illegal and borderline treasonous effort by The American Legion National Organization to deny its members the right of hearing first-hand accounts of the attack on the USS Liberty.
To be perfectly clear, no one is denying the seriousness of a charge of assault and battery. Nobody is denying the fact that a USS Liberty survivor was convicted of assault and battery on a staff member of The American Legion.
What happened that resulted in the assault and battery being committed? It all takes place as we were attempting to register at the 2012 National Convention.
Due to a communications error on our part, our delegation intending to staff our booth at the 2012 American Legion National Convention was unaware that payment for that booth and information about the requisite insurance had not been submitted to The American Legion prior to their arrival.
Upon learning that the payment had not been made, our representatives inquired if payment could be made while they were there.
Instead of responding to the inquiry, the registration desk called their security personnel who asked that our delegation be removed from the premises. The security personnel were obviously expert in intimidation – which was in full flower during the one-sided confrontation.
Having survived not only the attack and the US government's disinterest in investigating that attack, but the history the USS Liberty Veterans Association has had with the higher-ups of The American Legion, one of our representatives out of frustration, took out his American Legion membership card and flicked it to no one in particular. He just wanted to be rid of it.
As luck would have it, it landed softly on the blouse of one of the ladies manning the registration desk. So soft that I doubt she felt a thing.
The American Legion called the police and had our representative arrested for assault and battery. He was taken to jail and released after receiving a court date.
When the date arrived to face the judge, our guy showed but The American Legion victim was nowhere to be found.
No doubt out of embarrassment that the very people The American Legion was established to help were being treated so poorly.
Which brings up the question, "What is the purpose of The American Legion" and why in the past 52+ years has The American Legion treated the survivors of the USS Liberty as an exception to that purpose?
Why has The American Legion National Organization shown more concern for the forces who attacked the USS Liberty than it has for their own countrymen?
Why has The American Legion National Organization felt it so important to stifle USS Liberty survivors that they have acted illegally to do so?
Let me suggest some reasons:
We were attacked by Israel.
We have insisted that The American Legion live up to its obligations as described in the Preamble to their Constitution.
We have highlighted the hypocrisy of The American Legion in allowing its 1967 Resolution 508 to be ignored and unimplemented until it is finally rescinded in the 1990's.
During the many times we were allowed to purchase a booth at The American Legion's National Convention we were welcomed with enthusiasm and support by the general membership of The American Legion.
At their 2018 National Convention, the membership of The American Legion ignored the recommendation of The American Legion's leaders and approved a resolution calling on the Congress of the United States to investigate the attack on our ship.
If you find the actions of The American Legion National Organization as disconcerting as we do, we urge you to submit two resolutions through your Post.
If nothing else, it will educate you on what The American Legion National Organization feels about the USS Liberty and USS Liberty resolutions.

Meet some of the people who've made adoption a part of their lives and familes...
Meet the Burgos-Reynell Family
Burgos-Reynell Family Lead by Selfless Example: Providing Families for Waiting Youth is Worthwhile.
"If there is room in your heart, there is room in your home." Matt Reynell and Jaime Burgos have truly put this motto into practice. They have provided a forever home to waiting brothers, James and Steven, continue to open their home to children in need and spend countless hours volunteering at Children Awaiting Parents to find homes for others who continue to wait.
Matt and Jaime began their adoption journey as empty nesters that were not ready to be done parenting. They spent time volunteering with foster children in the community and decided to take their commitment a step further by adopting an older child in need of family.
James officially became a part of their family in 2010 when he was 10-years-old. When they first met him at age 8, he had been in foster care for 4 years and was living in a group home. They were warned about behaviors and told they would have their work cut out for them, but James has thrived in his adoptive home. "The love of a devoted family and coming home was all the push he needed. He amazes everyone around him; people cannot believe he is the same kid. Our family is so blessed to have him and watch him flourish into this amazing kid." About adoption, James adds, "I think it's awesome! I was tired of moving all the time now I have one home."
Matt and Jaime say Children Awaiting Parents went above and beyond to support them through the adoption process. "The biggest support, help and the best wealth of information we had was Children Awaiting Parents; they were amazing. This was also before I started volunteering with … so I was just the average person off the street and they went above and beyond for the kids they service," says Matt.
It wasn't until after Matt and Jaime adopted James that they realized his younger brother Steven was also in need of a home. They got to know Steven through his visits with James. Bringing him into the family happened very naturally. Steven moved in to the home in March of 2012 at age 10 and finalized July 8th, 2013. The boys are best friends and will often wait at the window for the other to come home from school.
"We didn't think it could get any better. We loved James so much and it was all working out so good. Then Steven came along and he really rounds out the family so well. Their resilience to overcome their past and open their hearts to family again is amazing," says Matt.
They say, "There are many kids who don't have homes, we are just lucky we don't have a big farm house or we would be in trouble." Farm house or not, Matt and Jaime continue to commit their time and energy to helping more children find forever homes. As a committed member of CAP's board, Matt spends any extra time he has getting the word out about the need for families. He and Jaime also generously provide a sense of family to other children by mentoring CAP's waiting youth and temporarily providing shelter for those who needed it.
The Burgos-Reynell family is putting their belief in permanence into action to forever change the lives children who have waited the longest for the love of family. Matt explains, "We would like to see a bigger presence in the community about older child adoption. We do not believe there is enough information out there and we could do so much better in helping get the word out!"
We hope you will join them in helping CAP find more families for our waiting youth.

For many search marketers tactical approaches to managing and optimizing SEO campaigns fills much of their time in their very busy diaries. However as SEO and social media disciplines merge, the importance of SEO is slowly rising to the top of many a C-Level agenda as a key driver of business goals including top line and bottom line.
Understanding where your competitors are positioned in SEO is one important aspect in today's competitive landscape for meeting your organic search goals.
There are several ways to look at competitive intelligence. One framework approaches this from the content, authority, and opportunity angles.
It was not too long ago that being able to understand the competitive landscape and actually begin to forecast opportunity in SEO was very much a case of consulting a magic 8 ball and seeing what results you were presented with.
The development of SEO technology has provided search marketers with a wealth of choice in tools and data from providers like SEOmoz and Majestic SEO to help us understand the competitive landscape. The SEO space is seeing significant investment in innovative technologies as well as integration between these technologies.
So, technology isn't a constraint and we can begin to look at how this can help search marketers understand, estimate value more accurately, and now scale their SEO campaigns. Let's then look at how to harness this technology to win in SEO through competitive intelligence.
There are a number of methods to look and evaluate competitor activity in this market. These vary from detailed spreadsheet/manual analysis, through to utilizing a number of free tools, and finally to using an Enterprise platform to tie together competitive analysis, opportunity forecasting and productivity and workflow. Utilizing any number of the above techniques works if you follow the structure I have identified below.
Understanding how you stack up against the competition. Share of voice allows you to discover the entire competitive landscape for a group of keywords, the percentage of the keywords in the group they rank for, and the number of keywords for which they rank. This helps you discover new competitors and create winning competitive SEO strategies.
Discover competition; measure you and your competitor' SEO share of voice For your SEO strategies to be complete and effective, you will need to know who your competition is. While most marketers have a list of competitors they track, it is very likely that they do face competition from companies and brands they might not be aware of.
Discovering top competitors for each keyword/keyword group that correspond to product, product category and industry should be the first step as you think about gaining a competitive advantage.
One way to measure your competition is to map out the share of voice for each segment relevant to your business. If you are an apparel retailer, you may want to measure your and your competitor's share of voice for every product or product category related keyword/keyword group. That should give you an exhaustive list of competitors that you actively need to track.
Identifying competitors is a strong first step. The next step is to assess your competition and see how you perform against them. There are several ways to measure your performance against them and all of them are important.
Estimating the value and volume of all keywords that a domain ranks for helps you view the competitive field in more monetary terms and gives you value based parameters to monitor and track going forward.
Is any company dominating the market?
Which keywords are they strong? Where are they weak?
Keeping track of performance is a complex task – especially within the long tail. There are three broad considerations in tracking keyword performance for competition.
First, ensure that you track data by product, brand, theme, project or any logical grouping that makes business sense. Analyzing data by these groups will make it easier for you to prioritize how to handle competition for specific groups.
Second, it is important that you track organic/classic and blended rank. Blended rank measures rank among all types of search results including text, images, video, local, and social results.
Last, ensure that you segment your analysis by the geography/search engines that you track.
Call your attention to the keyword groups and keywords where you face stiff competition so you can take corrective actions.
This leads in to the next step on having the ability to track universal search performance.
Google continues to put more emphasis on universal results, displaying image, video, social, and local results to make search results more relevant to the user. Tracking all of this helps you better measure competitor performance.Some people prefer to track completion manually or through Excel. However, universal and local listings make this a more and more complex task.
Identifying where you are positioned and where your competitors appear (and invest) across images, videos, social, local, and mobile allows you to make decisions on your future investment going forward. This allows you to rank across not just one but multiple channels.
With Search Plus Your World, Google signaled a greater importance for Google+ pages in the search algorithm. Understanding and scanning social media signals such as tweets, likes and shares is of growing importance. A recent case study BrightEdge conducted with Twitter and Tiny Prints highlights this point as 47 percent increase in search rankings was identified using Twitter.
It is also important to understand and track your competition's social media activity and , more importantly, correlate it with their rank performance, Again, this needs to be done at keyword group level as discussed in Step 3. Once you have insight into how social media is impacting your competition's rank, you can take actions like ramping up your social media activity for keywords where your competition is benefiting from social media.
The analysis in Steps 2 through 5 paint will help paint a solid picture of how you perform against competition. While that is a great way to reinforce what's working and fix what's not, it is not sufficient. You need to drill down into your competitions SEO strategies and uncover new opportunities to improve your share of voice – that's where the real competitive advantage lies.
Also, map out the backlink profile for your competition's top-ranked pages in A. Backlinks are a key driver of SEO performance.
How many backlinks do these pages have?
Which domains with high authority link to them?
Do these domains link to you? If no, you have an opportunity to link to them and raise your rank.
How does the backlink profile for your competitor's domain (not just top-ranked pages) compare with you in terms of number of links and value of these links? This analysis might call your attention to a linking project, using white hat techniques) to shore up your backlinks.
As I mentioned earlier there a huge number of tools that look into backlink analysis with some highlighted here.
The important thing to remember is that numerous tools give you numerous results so it's important, regardless of the tool you use, to set important benchmarks accordingly and follow them rigorously. Make sure you look into backlink distribution by pagerank quality and identify historical trends.
Finally, it's time to look into and compare on-page factors with your competitive analysis as we move from strategic awareness to tactical implementation. Understanding gaps, turning them into opportunities and build recommendations around on page factors is important to do in parallel with your off page strategies.
Get ideas/suggestions for your on-page tags, especially titles, H1, and meta descriptions.
Make the case for SEO improvements to your website, within your company.
Educate everyone in your company on best practices for SEO.
Evaluating your competition and uncovering opportunities is one thing. Placing a business value on these opportunities and managing your efforts based on this value helps you prioritize your approach and make your competitive intelligence initiatives ROI focused.
In Step 6, we talked about uncovering keywords that your competition ranks on that you don't and grouping them into business themes. Forecasting the dollar value of targeting each of these groups helps you decide which groups to pursue. It also helps you make a business case for investing in SEO for these keywords.
At SES San Francisco I will take a deeper dive into this subject highlighting some key steps that help you forecast opportunity and get that all important buy in from your clients, both internal and external. I hope to see you all there.

Best Samsung smartphones to buy in Nigeria in 2019
Olanrewaju Sodiq Olamide 12/06/2019
It's almost impossible to talk about the Nigeria smartphone ecosystem without mentioning Samsung. Although the South Korean tech giant is the third biggest mobile vendor in Nigeria in terms of market share (11.29% as of May 2019, according to StatCounter Global Stats), it produces some of the best smartphones in the world and in Nigeria. Samsung can also be safely said to be one of the pioneering smartphone brands in the Nigeria market.
That said, if you have a thing for Samsung devices (or not) or you're just curious about what the best Samsung smartphone in Nigeria are, or perhaps you are in the market for a Samsung-branded device, then you're in the right place. Check out the list below.
1. Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus
With a full-on ceramic body and Gorilla Glass 6 covering both in the front and rear, the Galaxy S10 Plus is the latest flagship product of the South Korean company and definitely one of the best Samsung smartphones you can buy right now in 2019. The bezel-less edge-to-edge 6.4-inch Dynamic AMOLED display with punch-hole technology is also another feature of the device to like.
Other standout features of the Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus include Wireless Powershare (i.e. reverse wireless charging), WiFi 6 (the first smartphone launch with WiFi 6), a total of five cameras (check out what each camera does HERE), Android Pie OS, Snapdragon 855 chipset, an under-display fingerprint sensor, and 4,100mAh battery.
2. Samsung Galaxy Note9
While the Galaxy Note 10 is still in the works, the Samsung Galaxy Note 9 remains the ultimate "Note" smartphone in the world. The device has the same display size and type as the Galaxy S10 Plus — 6.4-inch AMOLED — and a beautiful, glossy body covered by the 5th version of Corning's Gorilla Glass.
With a whopping 8GB RAM, 512GB of built-in storage, an Octa-core Snapdragon 845 chipset, and support for Android Pie OS, the Galaxy Note9 can (and will) handle whatever you throw at it (not literally, though). The device also comes with a redefined S-Pen stylus and some other high-end features that perfectly qualifies it to be on this list.
3. Samsung Galaxy S10e
If you aren't financially buoyant or capable enough to purchase the Galaxy S10 or S10 Plus, the Galaxy S10e, a miniature version of the S10 family is also a good buy in 2019. The device basically comes with the same feature as the S10 and S10 Plus with the few difference being a smaller (5.8-inch) display, dual rear-camera setup (the S10 & S10 Plus have three), physical side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and smaller (3,100mAh) battery.
4. Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018)
This list of best Samsung smartphones to buy in Nigeria in 2019 would be incomplete without this device. The Galaxy A9 (2018) is one helluva special device both in Nigeria and on the global scene. Being the first device in the world to launch with a quad-camera setup on the rear, the Galaxy A9 (2018) is also one of the best devices in Samsung's A-series of smartphones.
The quad rear-cameras of the device are configured as follows: a primary 24MP lens, 10MP secondary telephoto lens with 2x optical zoom, 8MP ultra-wide lens, and a 5MP depth sensor. Up on the front is a 24-megapixel lens for selfies and video call purposes.
The Samsung Galaxy A9 (2018) is available in three color variants (Caviar Black, Lemonade Blue, Bubblegum Pink) and comes with other top-level features like 128GB of built-in storage (up to 1TB via SD card), up to 8GB of RAM, Android 9 Pie support, 6.3-inch Super AMOLED display and non-removable 3,800mAh battery. The Galaxy A9 (2018) is one of the best Samsung smartphone in the upper midrange category worth checking out in 2019.
If you're looking to purchase a midrange Samsung smartphone with fluid processor, latest Android OS, spectacular selfie camera, triple rear-camera setup, and long-lasting battery, then the Galaxy A50 is a worthy purchase trust me.
Some highlight features of the device include 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display, a 2.3GHz Exynos 9610 chipset, Android 9 Pie OS, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, 25MP + 8MP + 5MP triple rear camera, 25MP front-facing camera, and a 4,000mAh no removable battery.
The Galaxy A7 (2018) is the first triple rear camera smartphone from Samsung. If you're the type that takes a lot of photographs for your social media pages using your phone and you need to purchase an affordable camera-centric Samsung smartphone, the Galaxy A7 (2018) is the one.
The device rear camera setup consists of a primary 24MP sensor, a secondary 5MP depth sensor and lastly, an 8MP ultra-wide sensor with f/2.4 aperture and 12-degree field of view. The 24MP front-facing camera supports HDR and comes with other features like Live Focus, AR emojis and Pro Lighting Mode to improve your mobile photography experience.
Other noteworthy features of the device include a 6.0-inch Super AMOLED display, 6GB RAM, 128GB storage, Android Oreo OS, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, an Octa-core processor and a 3,300mAh battery.
Although the Galaxy S10 and S10 Plus are better than this device spec-wise, the Galaxy S9 still remains one of the best flagship devices from the S-series and is definitely worth buying in 2019. The specs of the device are still very much flagship-level.
With a 5.8-inch Super AMOLED display with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, Octa-core Snapdragon 845 chipset, Adreno 630 graphics unit, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage, 12MP rear camera, 8MP camera, and 3,000mAh battery, the Galaxy S9 is worth every penny it sells for. In fact, it's worth more as Samsung is pushing some features of the Galaxy S10 series to the Galaxy S9.
The Galaxy A30 is the latest entrant into Samsung's A-series of smartphones. The device comes with a wide 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a 1080 X 2340 pixels resolution and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The Galaxy A30 is available in two storage variants (3GB/32GB and 4GB/64GB) both of which have a dual camera setup on the rear: a primary 16MP f/1.7 sensor and a secondary 5Mp f/2.2 ultra-wide.
Likewise, both variants sport a 16MP sensor on the front. On the inside, the Galaxy A30 comes out-of-the-box running the Android 9 Pie operating system, powered by Samsung's native Exynos 7904 chipset and a non-removable 4,000mAh battery.
Other notable mentions
All of the above-mentioned devices can be purchased on Jumia Nigeria or any other (online and offline) outlet that sells Samsung smartphones.

The White House has convened a meeting today (May 10) of 40 leading tech firms to discuss policy issues related to artificial intelligence (AI), including workforce development, regulatory barriers, and sector-specific applications. The move follows a glut of state-sponsored European AI initiatives in the past two months.
The US government said around 100 senior government officials, business leaders and academics will attend the day-long session, organised by the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, and hosted by President Trump's Deputy Assistant for Technology Policy, Michael Kratsios.
Business sectors including food and agriculture, energy and manufacturing, financial services, healthcare, and transportation and logistics will be represented, it said. The guest list features a number of leading US technology firms, notably Amazon, Facebook, Google, Intel and Microsoft, alongside a selection of major US firms served by developing AI technologies, including Bank of America, Boeing, General Electric, Goldman Sachs, Ford, Mastercard, and Walmart.
The session will consider AI-based internet-of-things solutions for the agriculture, energy, manufacturing and transportation sectors, in particular.
The US tech industry has been at the forefront of the AI movement, as it has all developments in digital technology in the last 30 years. Federal interventionism has been rare, especially in an industry that is increasingly propping up the wider economy.
Even so, the last US presidential administration, under Barack Obama, was quick to research the risks and rewards of the technology, publishing at least two key papers in late 2016 – a review of and a plan – that describe a loose programme to establish the country as the undisputed king of industrial AI, and to hoist up and shore up its economy at the same time.
However, the Trump administration was quick to shelve the recommendations , and the pace for government-sponsored innovation in the field has been set by other nations.
Late in April, the Brexit-bound UK government announced a £1 billion ($1.4bn) joint investment to stimulate the country's AI industry. The deal includes £600 million of funding, comprising £300 million of private sector investment from 50 technology firms, matched by £300 million of newly allocated government funding; it follows £400 million of AI funding that is already in place.
The British move followed on the heels of a push by the European Commission (EC) to raise €20 billion ($23.9bn) of new funds from European governments and private enterprises to stimulate the AI industry within the European Union, which the UK is quitting in March 2019. The EC initiative, itself, followed France president Emmanuel Macron's smartly-presented €1.5 billion ($1.8bn) AI package at the end of March.
AI, distinguished from analytics and automation, will spur industrial innovation and productivity, according to recent reports and pilots.
The value of the smart cities market will pass $2 trillion by 2025 as AI technologies become standardised in city functions and the final hurdle of inter-departmental integration is finally overcome, according to new research by Frost & Sullivan.
Car maker BMW said last month incoming 5G networks, buoyed by network slicing and AI, will be at the heart of developments in autonomous vehicles, intelligent transport systems, and driver safety.


Don Halpern witnessed a thief stealing his valuables at the beach. Out 100 yards into the water, all he could do was watch. So, he made sure it would never happen again. He calls his creation the LOCTOTE Industrial Bag. It's made from the toughest fabric in the world, repels water, and can't be cut through, unless the thief is wielding a chainsaw. It also comes with a brass lock and a steel reinforced strap.
All this peace of mind is going to cost you. The LOCTOTE Industrial Bag is expected to cost $229.

NASA spacecraft has found evidence of ancient rivers on the asteroid Bennu. Holy shit, right?
October 13th, 2020 by Caffeine Powered
A NASA spacecraft has found evidence of ancient rivers. On an asteroid. Specifically, Bennu. And like, holy shit. Right?
Futurism:
On October 20, NASA's OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will attempt to collect some bits of material from the surface of Bennu, a small near-Earth asteroid about 500 meters across.
Before it plunges down towards the space rock's surface, scientists are locking in their best guess as to what they will find. According to the latest research, as detailed in a number of new research papers published today, scientists are expecting to find carbonates, material that is often deposited by water on Earth.
By looking at readings courtesy of OSIRIS-REx's visible and infrared spectrometer, they discovered "veins of carbonate" on Bennu's surface. Tantalizingly, that could mean that Bennu's parent, likely a much larger planetoid or proto-planet, featured an "asteroid-scale hydrothermal system of water," according to a statement — in other words, ancient rivers.
"If the veins on Bennu are carbonates, fluid flow and hydrothermal deposition on Bennu's parent body would have occurred on kilometer scales for thousands to millions of years," the team led by Hannah Kaplan from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, concluded in their paper.
They suggest that water could have seeped through cracks on the surface of Bennu's parent body, leaving traces of carbonate behind. Some of these veins could have once accounted for water flows covering areas of up to two dozen miles across.
The finding has some sweeping implications.
"One of the driving points of this mission is that these asteroids could have delivered some of the precursor organic matter that gave rise to [life on] Earth," Kaplan told Popular Science.
Scientists also found that the regolith near Nightingale crater, the site where OSIRIS-REx will touch down, was only recently exposed to space, giving us the best shot at gleaning insights into Bennu's history.
"The abundance of carbon-bearing material is a major scientific triumph for the mission," Dante Lauretta, OSIRIS-REx principal investigator at the University of Arizona in Tucson, said in a NASA statement. "We are now optimistic that we will collect and return a sample with organic material – a central goal of the OSIRIS-REx mission."
The spacecraft's spectrometry readings painted a surprising picture of Bennu, showing that the rocks making up its surface are far more diverse than we originally thought. This diversity indicates the presence of a variety of different materials that originally made it onto Bennu from its parent body.
Some of those materials are more porous than others. In fact, scientists suggest that they aren't nearly as strong as we initially thought, likely incapable of surviving the trip through Earth's atmosphere. In other words, samples returned by OSIRIS-REx will give us a unique opportunity to study meteorites that we've never seen before on Earth.
Detailed gravity readings gleaned from the space rock's orbit, separate research led by Daniel Scheeres of University of Colorado Boulder, also showed that Bennu is likely dotted with pockets of materials that vary significantly in density. In fact, the team suggest that the core of Bennu could actually be entirely empty, enough space for several football fields.
