Luke 15:3-7 meaning
Luke 15:3
Jesus told three parables in response to the Pharisees and scribes grumbling at how He mingles with sinners. This first parable is called "The Parable of the Lost Sheep."
It is about a shepherd that leaves ninety-nine of his sheep in the pasture in search of the one that is lost, and the joy he feels upon finding it. Jesus then tells His adversaries that there is more joy in heaven when one sinner repents over ninety-nine righteous people who don't.
The parallel gospel accounts for this parable and teaching are found in Matthew 18:11-14.
In response to the Pharisees' slanders against Jesus's familiarity with tax collectors and sinners (Luke 15:1-2), Jesus told them three parables.
"The Parable of the Lost Sheep" (Luke 15:3-7)
"The Parable of the Lost Coin (Luke 15:8-10)
"The Parable of the Prodigal Son" (Luke 15:11-32)
The first parable He told them was, "The Parable of the Lost Sheep."
He began with a rhetorical question: What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it?
The expected answer to His rhetorical question was: "None." There is no man among them who would not go and leave the ninety-nine sheep in search of the one which is lost. They all would search for the lone lost sheep.
Shepherding was a common occupation in the agricultural ancient world. And this was particularly the case throughout the history of Israel. Some of the Jews' greatest ancestors were shepherds: Abraham (Genesis 13:2); Israel (also called Jacob) (Genesis 48:15); Moses (Exodus 3:1); and King David (1 Samuel 16:11). Shepherds took care of sheep by protecting them from wild animals, and by moving them from pasture to pasture where there was food and water for them. Shepherds made a profit by selling the sheep's wool to make clothing, blankets, and other goods.
In this short parable, the shepherd had a flock of one hundred sheep. He led his flock to a pasture where the sheep were safe and had plenty of grass to eat and water to drink. As he counted his flock, he noticed that there are only ninety-nine. One of his sheep is missing and lost. Naturally, because the flock is safe and provided for, the shepherd leaves them in the open pasture and goes after the one which is lost. He likely retraced his path while searching for his lost sheep until he finds it.
Jesus then described what the shepherd does when he has found the lost sheep: He lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. In other words, he brings it back, and he is giddy with joy over recovering it. The shepherd's rejoicing is a natural response.
Jesus ends the short parable by describing what the shepherd does when he returns home.
And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'
The shepherd throws a party to celebrate with his friends and neighbors. He invites them to celebrate and rejoice with him. He wishes to share his happiness with them. And his happiness came from having found his one sheep which was lost and gone, but now has been recovered.
Jesus then told the Pharisees and scribes the point of His short parable.
I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.
Jesus, who was from heaven, assured them that the shepherd's rejoicing was comparable to the response in heaven when one sinner repents. In addition to making an immediate point to His audience, this discloses some fascinating details about heaven, including:
Heaven is acutely aware of what is taking place on earth.
Heaven has celebrations.
Repentance is considered as a great cause of celebration in heaven.
The Sheep as Israel and The Shepherd as Jesus
Within the confines of Jesus's parable, the sheep represent members of the nation/family that is Israel. The sheep are Israelites (Jews who are members of God's chosen people) and/or possibly faithful Jews who hope in the promise of God's Messiah. And the man who goes looking for them is the shepherd. Jesus does not explicitly claim to be the shepherd in this version of the parable. But this is easily inferred from the context in which the parable is told. Jesus has been literally going around Judea and Galilee inviting sinners to repentance, just as the shepherd went in search of his lost sheep.
Furthermore, in Matthew's version of the parable, Jesus does explicitly claim to be the Shepherd when He identifies Himself as the Son of Man:
"For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost"
(Matthew 18:11).
Moreover, In John's gospel, Jesus also says, "I am the Good Shepherd" (John 10:11) when He describes Himself, His mission, and the sheep as members of His eternal family (John 10:1-30).
And then there are the passages of Psalm 23 and Ezekiel 34. These are Jewish scriptures that describe the Lord and the Messiah as a Shepherd. Jesus alludes to both scriptures in this parable. And these allusions would likely have been prominent in the minds of the Pharisees and scribes when they heard it—especially Ezekiel 34 in which God declares that He will search for His sheep as a shepherd seeks them out.
Ezekiel's prophetic shepherd metaphor began with a rebuke of Israel's leaders (Ezekiel 34:1-10). The Pharisees and scribes who were experts in Gods' scriptures would have instantly recognized that Jesus was speaking against them as much as He was identifying Himself as God's Messiah sent to find and gather the lost sheep of Israel.
Next in Ezekiel, the Lord declares that He will personally seek out His scattered sheep:
"For thus says the Lord God, 'Behold, I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out. As a shepherd cares for his herd in the day when he is among his scattered sheep, so I will care for My sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a cloudy and gloomy day.'"
(Ezekiel 34:11-12)
The Lord God then continues the metaphor in Ezekiel:
"'I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. I will feed them in a good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I will feed My flock and I will lead them to rest,' declares the Lord God."
Then the Lord summarizes the Shepherd metaphor of Ezekiel by describing the judgment,
"I will seek the lost, bring back the scattered, bind up the broken and strengthen the sick; but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them with judgment."
It seems likely that Jesus, the Messiah, is leaning on these images in His parable. If so, Jesus would also subtly be laying claim to being Israel's Messiah, as He is the Lord personally searching for His lost sheep, as predicted by Ezekiel.
The Lost Sheep
The sheep as a whole represent Israelites, therefore the one lost sheep is a member of Israel. The sheep is lost, not because it does not belong to that flock or is not a part of Israel; it is lost because it is separated from the group it belongs to. The lost sheep is separated from and missing the blessings of being in the presence of the Shepherd and community with the flock. This is similar to how the sinners and tax collectors have broken relationship to God through their disobedience and are living out of fellowship with their religious community because of their sin. The lost sheep is isolated somewhere along the road, away from the cool streams and grass of the green pasture, just as the sinner is lost along the way and is not enjoying the blessings of living in harmony with God and His family.
The lost sheep is a sinner who lives in broken fellowship with God. The prophet Isaiah describes sinful Israel this way:
"All of us like sheep have gone astray,
Each of us has turned to his own way."
(Isaiah 53:6a)
The Apostle Peter uses this image to refer to believing Jews who have returned to Jesus, who is their Shepherd (2 Peter 2:25).
The finding of the lost sheep represents the restoration of that separated individual back into fellowship and community with the flock to which it always belonged. This restoration comes when the individual repents. The words for repent and repentance are respectively forms of the Greek words, "metanoeo" and "metanoia." They literally describe a change of perspective or a changed mind.
The parable describes a sinner who belongs in the fold of Israel but who lives in a state of broken fellowship with God and his flock through disobedience. They are outside the good graces of the community. But the Good Shepherd comes looking for them. Jesus's teachings resonate in the hearts of these outcast sinners. His gospel invites them to join Him. He calls them to change their perspective and follow Him. They repent and are reunited to the Shepherd and restored to His flock where they can flourish in His pastures.
When one sinner repents on earth, heaven rejoices. Heaven probably celebrates more than a shepherd rejoices over the return of a lost sheep because a restored Israelite or believer is far more precious to God than a sheep is to a shepherd.
However, the comparison Jesus draws here is between one sinner who repents and ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance. And Jesus says, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents.
He could mean three things by this comparison between the one penitent sinner and the ninety-nine righteous sheep.
It's possible Jesus could be saying that heaven prefers a repentant sinner over consistent obedience.
This interpretation is the most straightforward but may appear problematic because it does not neatly fit with the Bible's overarching message of how much God rewards faithfulness.
This is because the scripture greatly elevates the quality of enduring faithfulness, which we know is important to God (2 Timothy 12-23; Hebrews 10:35-36; James 1:2-4; 2 Peter 5-8). We are told that those who endure and live faithfully will gain unimaginable treasure and reward (1 Corinthians 2:9; 2 Corinthians 4:16-17).
It therefore seems likely that with this interpretation, heaven is rejoicing because of the return of a sinner because they too will now get to participate in the celebration that is to come. Those who are righteous have a celebration ahead of them, but it is not now. The lost sheep returning to the fold is the cause of the current celebration.
Another possible meaning for this comparison could be that there is not typically a ratio of ninety-nine righteous sheep for every sinner.
"There is none righteous, not even one" (Romans 3:10). Everyone, including the most faithful believers, is perpetually the proverbial lost sheep and in need of being rescued from one sin or another (1 John 1:8-10). If this is the case, Jesus may be teaching that consistent repentance is a necessary practice for constant faithfulness. To be righteous requires a habit of repentance. And every separate act of repentance is a cause for rejoicing in heaven.
A third possible meaning is that heaven prefers one repentant sinner over ninety-nine self-righteous sinners who believe they have no need for repentance.
Whether this is what Jesus meant or not, this statement is Biblically sound (1 Samuel 15:22; 1 Peter 5:5b). But for this interpretation to work we must read into Jesus's comment that He was referring to self-righteousness and not true righteousness. The context allows this third interpretation as a possibility, but does not insist on it being His intent.
These three interpretations are not mutually exclusive. It is possible that any combination of them could have been intended by Jesus.
This parable's depictions of repentance all compliment the Apostle John's teaching in 1 John 1 about confession, which discusses being in the light/having fellowship, and making our joy complete. In 1 John 1:7-9, Jesus is the active agent covering sin, and restoring fellowship, like the Shepherd and the flock in the pasture.
1 John 1:8 mirrors the notion that everyone has sin:
"If we say that we have no sin, we are deceiving ourselves and the truth is not in us."
(1 John 1:8)
1 John 1:7 tells us that when we are walking in the light, Jesus covers the sins of which we are unaware:
"But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin."
1 John 1:9 tells us that if we confess/repent of our sins, Jesus will restore us to fellowship, that our joy might be made complete (1 John 1:4):
The Pharisees and scribes are also members of Israel's flock. They too should be rejoicing every time one sinner repents and is restored to harmony with God. But instead of rejoicing that repentance is occurring among the tax collectors and sinners, they were grumbling (Luke 15:2).
Because the Pharisees and scribes said they had no sin, they were deceiving themselves and the truth was not in them (1 John 1:7). They were calling Jesus a liar and His word was not in them (1 John 1:10).
But if they confessed their sins, Jesus is faithful and righteous to forgive them and to cleanse them from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9) and restore them to the light, fellowship, and joy of being with the Shepherd and His flock.
One final point of importance about this parable. This parable initially concerned the lost sheep of Israel. It was spoken in a Jewish context in an age when the Messiah was offering the kingdom to His Jewish people. They ultimately rejected it. And God then ushered in the age of the Gentiles.
In the New Testament era, we may apply this parable to pertain to the Messiah's kingdom, which is currently not of this world (John 8:36). We can apply the image of the lost sheep to represent any believer who is not following Jesus for one reason or another. God is always searching, trying to bring them back into fellowship with Him. When an unfaithful believer, who is a member of God's family, repents of his ways, and is brought back into harmony with Christ—heaven rejoices. It is inferred that this speaks of one who is a part of Israel, who are God's chosen people (Deuteronomy 7:7-8).
Jesus then proceeded to reiterate these points to the Pharisees in a second parable: "The Parable of the Lost Coin" (Luke 15:8-10).
Biblical Text:
3 So He told them this parable, saying, 4 What man among you, if he has a hundred sheep and has lost one of them, does not leave the ninety-nine in the open pasture and go after the one which is lost until he finds it? 5 When he has found it, he lays it on his shoulders, rejoicing. 6 And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!' 7 I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

Chapter Context
Tax collectors and sinners resonate with Jesus's inviting message of belonging and repentance.
The overly legalistic Pharisees and scribes begin slandering Jesus for mingling with these people whom they had rejected.
In response, Jesus tells three parables to the Pharisees and scribes:
"The Parable of the Lost Sheep," about a shepherd that leaves ninety-nine of his sheep in the pasture in search of one single lost sheep, and the joy he feels upon finding it. Jesus then tells His adversaries that there is more joy in heaven when one sinner repents over ninety-nine righteous people who don't.
"The Parable of the Lost Coin," about a woman with ten coins who loses one. She turns her house upside down in search of the one lost coin. When she finds it, she rejoices. Jesus concludes the parable with another declaration about the value of repentance: "There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."
"The Parable of the Prodigal Son," about a father with two sons, neither of whom understand their Father's love toward them, or what is actually in their best interest. The younger brother represents the attitude of sinners the Pharisees complained about, and the older brother represents the Pharisees.
The first half of the parable tells how the younger son prematurely demanded his inheritance and left his father for a distant country where he squandered it all. After he became desperate, and believing himself to be unworthy as a son, he returned home hoping to be hired by his father. Instead, the father graciously reinstated him as a son and called for a major celebration because, in his words: "This son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found."
The second half of the parable tells how the older son bitterly pouted and scolded his father for celebrating his lost brother's humiliating return. The father graciously reminded his older son of his love for him and that it was his brother who returned. The father invited him to choose joy and forgiveness and join the celebration because, as he put it: "This brother of yours was dead and has begun to live, and was lost and has been found."

Adelaide da Conceição Penha Ferreira de Magalhães (Faia, Cabeceiras de Basto, 19 de mayo de 1874-Refojos de Riba de Ave, Santo Tirso, 12 de abril de 1945), fue una profesora, escritora feminista, y activista republicana portuguesa, habiendo ejercido la política local durante la Primera República Portuguesa

Biografía
Adelaide Penha de Magalhães ejerció un cargo político en la administración estatal local, donde votaba en esas mismas Asambleas generales de la Junta Provisoria. Fue una de las primeras mujeres en ejercer algún tipo de cargo político, donde sirvió en la Primera República ejerciendo ese papel en la Cámara de Santo Tirso en 1910, habiendo sido sucedida en la segunda votación por Manuel Gil dos Reis Carneiro Dias de Carvalho Ferreira, político, concejal mandato cumplido, y ocupando varios cargos en la Administración Local.

Fomentó y promovió, junto con su esposo, la construcción de varias escuelas mixtas en Santo Tirso, luego desde el año 1910, en las freguesias de Reguenga, Lamelas y Refojos de Riba de Ave, donde fue profesoraa, con la intención de reducir el analfabetismo en las masas populares.

Colaboró incluso antes de la implantación de la República, en semanarios republicanos, apareciendo al menos ya a sus 22 años en 1896. El director de "O Jornal", Leão de Meireles, era republicano y afincado en uno de los únicos Concejos republicanos, todavía en tiempo de la monarquía. En 1929 quien fue el defensor del Jornal en un pleito judicial fue el propio António Moreira de Sá Couto, cuñado de Adelaide Penha de Magalhães.

Escribía activamente para ese periódico, como para el "Pacense", el "Jornal de Paços de Ferreira", semanario republicano, usando los apelativos de "Adelaide Penha de Magalhães", y de "A. C. Penha Guimarães" en escritos que aparecen muy impulsivos, por lo que no podría asociarse a una mujer.

Q: How to plot a 1D K-means cluster I have a vector (X2) and I would like to investigate the groups they can form.
I have performed the K-means analysis, whith 2 clusters:
shape X2 = (19,1)
kmeans = KMeans(n_clusters=2,random_state=123)
kmeans.fit(X2)
label = kmeans.fit_predict(X2)

print(label)
[0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0]

Now I would like to make the scatter plot of these 2 clusters.
Could someone help me with the plot.
I'm not sure how I can associate the label with my vector (X2) and what to put in x-axis and y-axis.
I would like to have something like this:

But I don't know how to organize the plot, because the labels are not the x-axis. I now the y-axis (X2), what is missing is the x-axis and how to associate the labels with colors to X2

A: You can plot your x points as indexes and y points as the real values (X2). And if we come to the point that you want to associate the colors you can use 'c' keyword of matplotlib's scatter method.
As an example:
plt.scatter([i for i in range(len(X2))], X2, c=labels)

color(c) = labels, is going to scatter indexes that has same corresponding label with same color. You can also use c="red" to make every point red.

A: The plot that you display is a 3-dimensional graphic, the space X (x,y) and the class.
If I understand your question, you are clustering samples which are in one dimension. You don't need a 3-dimensional graph but a 2-dimensional. You can forget the color of the graphic and use the y-axis to represent the class (-1,1).
You can project them on a 2-dimensional space if you want by adding a fake dimension (y=0) and use the color parameter of matplotlib with the class predicted.

Palma is not a city that is short of history. The city was first found by Romans back in 123 BC. Originally, Palma was used as a port to Africa because of its location on the south of the island. However, this history has since been long forgotten because there is no structural evidence of it in Palma today. The city came under Byzantine control and there is evidence of this in Palma today. Some of the mosaics in the cathedral, which at the time would have been a paleo-Christian temple, house some stunning mosaics. Many people are surprised that the city was under Islamic control, and they are even more surprised when you tell them that it was for over 300 years (902-1229), and was only taken away from the Almohads after a three month-long siege by James I of Aragon.
The city remained prosperous due to its great location (on the port) until the Rebellion of the Brotherhoods, which ruined the trading posts and many of its defensive structures. This lasted until the 18th century Charles III of Spain started trade again and the country?s economy once again started to grow. The city has been a tourist hotspot since back in the 50s. Now over 22 million people visit the country by air annually with a further 2 million by boat.
Since Palma is situated in Spain therefore the weather is generally warm and humid, therefore it is recommended that you visit Palma during the summer months, which are May till end of August.
Palma is the capital of Majorca with a population of roughly 525,000 in the urban area. Surprisingly enough that is more than half the whole country?s population. As a popular tourist destination the airport actually handles somewhere in the region of 23.5 million people per annum. There are plenty of reasons why Palma is a popular destination. For a start, the average high year-round temperature is 21.6C with peaks of 29.5C in August. The city is full of locals that understand the English language, and because tourism is the country?s main source of income, the people are very welcoming. The city of Palma contains something for everyone. The Old City remains untouched by tourists, which means it is ideal for those looking to see Palma as it once was many years ago.
In this part of the city, the streets lined with little private museums and galleries. At the other end of the spectrum, the nightlife in Palma is second to none. In fact, its reputation as a party island is one of the reasons so many people visit there. The Playa de Palma district and Magalluf districts especially are two of the best party regions. In the city, you will find some of the best shopping facilities in Spain. As the centre for retail in the country there are plenty of traditional and modern shops standing side by side one another. If you want to shop, then you have to explore Passeig des Born, a street that demonstrates the above perfectly.
Palma is a city that could keep you entertained for months. The great thing about the city is that it is rather small yet everything that you need is there so you do not need to travel too far. The Old City this thriving area has almost been untouched by humans for centuries. There is a walking tour through the cathedral and city that is well worth your time. On this tour, you get to see the stunning patios of the old city, which have remained virtually untouched for centuries. Museum of Bartolome March once home to the wealthiest banker on the island this place has now been turned into a museum. Make sure you look out for the Neapolitan nativity scene from the 1700s.
Castell de Bellver: this round castle has been in development since the 12th century. It was the first round castle ever to exist. Once used as a castle and a prison it is now used to display the history of the city. Pacha Mallorca: if you feel like it is time to party you have to go to Pacha. It is one of the biggest nightclubs in Palma. Pacha has a stunning restaurant on site where you can eat before hitting the club which closes at 6 am. The four activities above really just scratch the surface of what you can do in Palma so make sure you plan your days well in advance to take in everything you want to see.
As Palma has a great mix of modern and traditional places to eat you really can find everything that you want culinary wise in this city. Of course, the majority of people that visit the city try out the local dishes. There are an abundance of popular Spanish dishes, and Tapas is especially well-liked in Majorca. There are plenty of Tapas ?bars? that stay open until the early hours of the morning. Almost every local restaurant also serves paella. However, these two have become quite common wherever you go nowadays.
Therefore, if you want to try something really local, then check for Sobrassada. Sobrassada is a sausage that has been hung out for a period of time between one and eight months. Instead of a normal sausage though Sobrassada is usually consumed more like a pate. There are also plenty of fast-food places in Majorca with Indian takeaways, kebab shops and fish and chips all making an appearance. Furthermore, the American chains are all there as well. Like many of the Balearic Islands the main drink in Palma is wine. There are plenty of local and National wines to sample as well. If wine is not your forte, then there are also two nationwide sprits called Palo and Herbes. Palo is drunk before meals as an aperitif while Herbes is traditionally consumed after. Garagerex is a stunning lounge restaurant with some fantastic dishes and an even better wine menu. This place combines traditional with Mediterranean cooking, which means there is something for everybody.
If you are looking for the best nightlife in the city, look no further than the Paseo Maritimo. This is where you can find the centre of all the action in the city at night. This area of the city has various nightclubs from the HipHop Club to the Lorien Bar which has over 100 different types of beers. The variety on the strip is amazing, which is why people choose to go there to find food and then move onto the nightlife all on the same road. Another place you can try is La Lonja (the centre of the city.) Here, you will find various clubs and bars all within reach of one another. Palma also has a fantastic gay and lesbian nightlife scene. The zone of Plaza Gomila has some great homosexual bars for everybody to enjoy. On top of all of the clubs and bars, the pub and dining scene is rather lively in Palma. As the majority of people speak perfect English, there are a few English pubs around so if you are missing home, then pop in one of these bars. In general the city is very safe and secure. However, like everywhere watch out for pick pockets as there has been a case of thefts in are in the past.
Palma is the ideal city for those looking to shop. Like any city, you want a balance of the modern designer stores and the traditional shops, and this is exactly what you find in Palma. While in the city, you need to make sure you take in both Avinguda Jaume III and the Passeig des Born, which are the two main shopping centres in the city. Furthermore, just two kilometres from the centre of the city you will find the Centro Comercial Porto Pi, which is a modern hypermarket of sorts. Avinguda Jaume III is one of the most amazing shopping streets in the city. It has been designed for famous outlets and other modern stores, and the best thing about it is that the road is less than half a century old. If you are in the city on a Monday, Friday or a Saturday, then you should take the time to explore the outdoor craft market. You should note that in Palma, the shops are generally open from 10 am to 1:30 pm and from 5 pm until 8pm on weekdays and Saturday mornings so make sure you do your shopping in this time.
Just like every modern city, Palma accommodates extremely well for those who are disabled. The city is full of places with the finest selection of state of the art amenities. The fact is that due to the thriving tourist community, Palma has had to expand to accommodate all year round. From your very first moment in Palma at Palma airport you will see that the facilities are in place if you have special needs. Ramps, toilets and telephones have all been adapted as needed for disabled visitors. Furthermore, there are all the required mobility aids like wheelchairs use after you land and even extra assistance if required. Last but not least there are all the expected reserved car parking spaces. There are various hotels that have been designed to accommodate disabled visitors in Palma: Hotel Isla Mallorca Spa is a fantastic modern hotel with full access for disabled people.
Furthermore, you will find everything that you need on the site, including a restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner and a cafe. This is just one of several hotels that meets and surpasses the levels set out by the industry-standard guide. You should also not be worried about eating or going out generally as not only is everywhere well accommodating but the people are great and are more than helpful. Even the beaches are well set out for disabled people.

The Aeratron ceiling fan can be used in summer and winter. It has a contemporary design with its aluminium body and three plastic blades. Its motor runs very quietly and is thus ideal for use in bedrooms. A suitable lighting kit is available as an accessory (item number 1068016) and can be simply attached (not suitable for sloped roofs). It is possible to set six different wattages and speed levels via the RF remote control (included).
No mention of any guarantee. Been looking at other models and most over £100 seem to offer 10 years or more guarantee on the motor and 5 on the remote?
The manufacturer offers a 3 year warranty on the fan. This however excludes the remote control which have a 1 year warranty.
Hello. We want a ceiling fan with a remote but the remote also needs to have a timer on. We have had this in the past but it was purchased for us by the electrician. Can we buy a ceiling fan and a remote timer separately or is the timer linked to fan?
Thank you for your query. The Aeratron fans have no timer function, but out customer service team has contacted you via e-mail with some alternative recommendations.
Love the modern look of this fan, very quiet when in use. Installation was very straightforward, no problems. Would recommend to others.
I have had this ceiling fan installed for 1 month now and wonder how I lived without it. It really cools my bedroom and and helps give me a more restful sleep at night. Bring on the hot weather!

Q: the meaning and usuage of the variance of a discrete random variable We know that the variance in continuous normal disturbed random variable, enable us to calculate confidence intervals. But I just have to wonder what is the point in calculating variance of a discrete random variable. consider this question for example. in that question, both mean and variance of the variable is $1$ and the lower bound of the variable is $0$ which means it can be, at max, only $1$  standard deviation under the mean.
can we calculate any confidence interval in that question using variance ? can we draw any conclusion about the probability of having $X=3$ knowing the variance and the probability of $X=2$ for example ?

A: In general you can use Chebyshev's inequality, which for $t \gt 0$ two-sided is $$P[|X-E(X)|\ge t] \le \frac{Var(X)}{t^2}$$
and one-sided  is
$$P[X-E(X)\ge t] \le \frac{Var(X)}{Var(X)+t^2}$$
but be aware that it tends to be very conservative: I once constructed a table and chart at http://www.se16.info/hgb/cheb.htm#Disc showing that the two-side interval for no more than $5\%$ probability outside the interval was about $4.47$ standard deviations from the mean, rather than about $1.96$ standard deviations from the mean for a normal distribution.

History of Kalyani Biryani– Erakina
Published Date : July 25, 2022
If you're thinking that the biryani figures prominently within the Hyderabadi's culinary outings, you would not be mistaken. It's the most cost-effective source of protein you'll be able to find within the city – succulent pieces of meat and lots of flavoured rice, all available for the value of Rs 150 (or sometimes even lesser) at a median restaurant. If you continue to think that this can be an excessive amount to procure a one-time meal, then there's the "other" biryani, popularly called the Kalyani biryani.
Often served at hole-in-the-wall style set-ups, not many from outside Hyderabad are aware of this biryani variant available within the city. Kalyani is taken into account to be the poorer cousin of the Hyderabadi dum biryani. It's available at outlets for as cheap as Rs 80 because these aren't your typical chicken or mutton varietIes, but are fabricated from buffalo meat. It is sometimes called 'buff biryani' at the outlets, to underline the same fact.
Kalyani Biryani
One has to do their research before starting on a probe for the Kalyani. Hardly do the restaurants serving the dish put up boards advertising the very fact on the road, and neither does this item figure within the must-to-eat tourist lists.
If one asks a cashier sitting inside a restaurant about the origin of the name of this dish, he or she might check with you about the politics of food, and tell you in an exceedingly hushed voice that "Kalyani" is the code word used rather than beef (though it refers to buffalo meat and not cow meat).
A Royal Lineage Of A Royal Dish
Bucket of Kalyani Biryani
Biryani is commonly treated as a royal dish, belonging to the elite, given its diverse ingredients and rich flavours. However, we believe that there's a biryani for everybody and well, that's how we stumbled upon this poor man's biryani from Hyderabad. The Kalyani biryani hides its association with the Nawabs of Bidar in its aromatic infusion of rice and protein. Legend has it that the biryani derived its name from the Kalyani Nawabs who travelled from Bidar to Hyderabad within the 18th century.
The fitting of the Kalyani Nawab ki Deori (haveli) by the Nawabs, who belonged to the Basavakalyan region, which was part of the old Hyderabad State, played a significant role in the invention of this interesting biryani variety. While the haveli was known for extending remarkable courtesy and generosity towards the travellers who stopped by, especially from Bidar, it was the acquisition of Hyderabad by the Indian government under Operation Polo in 1948 that the Kalyani Nawabs lost all control.
The Deori that earlier served chicken and mutton Kalyani biryani to its guests twice every day in large quantities started trying to find cheaper ways of providing identical hospitality. Since the visitors continued to flock to the 'Deori' and therefore the finances were dwindling, one of the cooks of the royal kitchen decided to exchange the chicken/mutton with buffalo meat. That's how the buff biryani, also referred to as Kalyani biryani, rose to fame as a cheaper alternative to the otherwise rich and expensive dum biryanis. Although the protein was substituted with buffalo meat, it had been often considered to be beef biryani and euphemisms like Kalyani started being employed for relating beef-based dishes. It is important to note that beef is cow meat and not buffalo meat.
Kalyani Biryani being cooked
Today, you'll find hole-in-the-wall eateries with no clear signage or directions on the maps, serving Kalyani biryani at an inexpensive price of INR 80 in Hyderabad. The foremost famous is the one started by Dawood, one of every one of the cooks from the age of Nawabs of Kalyan, who founded a shop under the name of Original Kalyani Biryani within the Murgi Chowk behind Charminar. This happened within the late 1940s when cooks displayed to open their outlets to serve this buffalo meat, onions, tomatoes and rice combination for reasonable stakes as critical the close cousin, Hyderabadi dum biryani.
You may not find expensive spices like saffron and therefore the rich chicken and meat proteins, but the shack-like tiny eateries have managed to stay the legacy of this other biryani alive within the heart of its birthplace, in the face of the recognition of Hyderabadi dum biryani.

Former Spaceport CFO files $200M lawsuit against state
Jonathan Fjeld
SANTA FE, N.M. – The former CFO of Spaceport America has filed a $200 million lawsuit against top-ranking officials in New Mexico, alleging fraud.
Zach De Gregorio filed a whistleblower complaint alleging officials mismanaged Spaceport's finances.
Officials such as Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, the state's attorney general and the state's auditor are cited in the lawsuit.
De Gregorio explained his position in a YouTube video, alleging he left his CFO position after making "multiple whistleblower complaints" stating, "I was forced to resign when I had to choose between keeping my job and committing crimes".
The former CFO is seeking damages to cover a loss in back pay, medical expenses and emotional distress.
A spokesperson for the governor's office was unable to comment on the pending litigation.


The voyages of the starship USS Discovery just got a little bit longer. The new series Star Trek: Discovery will be expanded into a 15-episode season.
On Wednesday, news from the CBS Upfront presentations revealed the new series will be longer than expected. Elizabeth Wagmeister, a reporter at Variety, tweeted that the first season of Star Trek: Discovery will be 15 episodes long. Previously, Nicholas Meyer and Bryan Fuller both discussed a 10-episode season.
Wagmeister also said that immediately following airings of Discovery, there will be an after-show called "Talking Trek." This is similar in style to making-of after-shows for The Walking Dead (Talking Dead) and Doctor Who (Doctor Who Confidential). The after-show news also seems to indicate that Star Trek: Discovery won't be released all at once in a Netflix-style binge model. But instead, the episodes will air on CBS All Access in some kind of incremental schedule.
Another journalist, Brian Steinberg of Variety, tweeted an image of footage from the forthcoming Star Trek: Discovery trailer. One shot is Michael Burnham (Sonequa Martin-Green) in her Starfleet uniform. Another looks like Spock's father, Sarek (James Frain).
Several other images emerged of Michael Burnham, one of which features her in a space suit.
The Comic Book Cast YouTube channel has already created a roundup video of all the new leaked images.

Intersecting Tango
Cultural Geographies of Buenos Aires, 1900-1930
By Adriana J. Bergero
In the early part of the twentieth century, Buenos Aires erupted from its colonial past as a city in its own right, expressing a unique and vibrant cultural identity.
Intersecting Tango engages the city at this key moment, exploring the sweeping changes of 1900-1930 to capture this culture in motion through which Buenos Aires transformed itself into a modern, cosmopolitan city.
Taking the reader through a dazzling array of sites, sources, and events, Bergero conveys the city in all its complexity. Drawing on architecture and gendered spaces, photography, newspaper columns, schoolbooks, "high" and "low" literature, private letters, advertising, fashion, and popular music, she illuminates a range of urban social geographies inhabited by the city's defining classes and groups. In mining this vast material, Bergero traces the profound change in social fabric by which these diverse identities evolved, through the processes of modernization and its many dislocations, into a new national identity capable of embodying modernity.
In her interdisciplinary study of urban development and cultural encounters with modernity, Bergero leads the reader through the city's emergence, collecting her investigations around the many economic, social, and gender issues remarkably conveyed by the tango, the defining icon of Buenos Aires. Multifaceted and original, Intersecting Tango is as rich and captivating as the dance itself.

Pancharatra
Pancharatra, early Hindu religious movement whose members worshiped the deified sage Narayana (who came to be identified with Lord Vishnu) and, in merger with the Bhagavata sect, formed the earliest sectarian movement within Hinduism. The new group was a forerunner of modern Vaishnavism, or the worship of Vishnu.
The Pancharatras originated in the Himalayan region perhaps in the 3rd century bce. The group's name is attributed to a five-day-long sacrifice (pancha-ratra) performed by Narayana by which he obtained superiority over all beings and became all beings.
The Pancharatra doctrine was first systematized by Shandilya (c. 100 ce?), who composed several devotional verses about the deity Narayana; that the Pancharatra system was also known in South India is evident from 2nd-century-ce inscriptions. By the 10th century the sect had acquired sufficient popularity to leave its influence on other groups, though criticized by Shankara and other orthodox figures as nonmonastic and non-Vedic.

If you've never read the Song of Songs in bed with someone that you love … you are missing out on one of the great religious experiences that our tradition has to offer!
Read the full text of Song of Songs in Hebrew and English here.
Behold my beloved, here he comes. He is leaping over the mountains, bounding through the hills. He is like a gazelle, a young stag … and he calls to me: "Arise my darling, my perfect one, come away with me!" (Song of Songs 2:8-10).
The sheer delight this pair takes in one another can't help but stir in us memories of love's richness, especially when our lives were first touched with its magic. Indeed, the most famous line from the Song: "Ani l'dodi, v'dodi li" – "I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine," (Song of Songs 2:16) are often the words on the lips of couples on their wedding day, standing under their chuppah, anticipating a life of loving partnership.
The Song of Songs is considered one of the five megillot (scrolls), which are read on major festivals. It is traditionally chanted in the synagogue during Passover, due to its thematic connection with springtime. Following the mystical tradition, some Sephardic and Hasidic Jews have a custom to recite it each week on Shabbat evening, as Shabbat serves as a renewal of loving vows between God and the Jewish People. While the tradition ascribes the its authorship to King Solomon (Song of Songs Rabbah 1:1), who lived in the 10th century BCE, modern scholars note the many literary parallels with other love poetry and wedding songs from both Babylonia and Egypt and suggest a later date of composition, perhaps around the fourth through sixth centuries BCE.
It is unsurprising, given the racy nature of the Song of Songs, that its inclusion in the biblical canon was a matter of some controversy. In fact, it seems that it would have been excluded from the Bible altogether, if it did not have a powerful champion: As the Sages debated which books were to be included in the Scriptures, it is said that Rabbi Akiva – certainly the greatest rabbi of his era (late first century, early second century) – weighed in that "while all of the sacred writings are holy, the Song of Songs is the holy of holies!" (Mishnah, Yadayim 3:5).
Perhaps… but there is still room as well to read the Song in much more earthly terms, as a celebration of human partnership and an acknowledgement that physical love is not something base or ugly, but a gift from our Creator. Indeed the very first commandment given to the Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden was that they should "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28), a charge not to be ashamed by their sexuality but to be ennobled by it.

Xavier Johnson and the Hoosiers win in a blowout against Jackson State, 70-35
By Jevan McCoskeyPosted on November 23, 2021 November 24, 2021 1
In their final game before Thanksgiving, Indiana (5-0) welcomed Jackson State (0-5) to Assembly Hall and served them up a 35-point defeat. IU was led by Xavier Johnson with 14 points, seven rebounds and, of course, by their defense. They held Jackson State to just 21 percent from the field. Indiana picked up their fifth win of the season, 70-35.
It was the same starting five that we have seen in their first four games as Xavier Johnson, Parker Stewart, Miller Kopp, Race Thompson, and Trayce Jackson-Davis got things going for the Cream and Crimson.
First five on the floor.

From the start, Indiana ramped up the pressure on the defensive side of the ball. IU was only able to score 13 points off the 11 turnovers that were forced but that did not matter when looking at JSU shooting percentage.
Jackson State shot just 19 percent in the first half, or 5-26 from the field.
Johnson got things going to IU early in the first half. Attacking the rim, finding the holes in the defense, and getting to the foul line regularly. Johnson and Kopp led the Hoosiers at half with eight points each heading to the break.

IU led at halftime 34-17.
Remember that stellar defense we were talking about? Well, it showed up in the second half as well. JSU did not score their first points of the second half until there was under 14 minutes remaining in the game.
When asked about what gets the defense going Miller Kopp said, "Coaches are always on us about talking. In walkthroughs, stretching, whatever it is. If we're doing anything, we need to be talking. Overtalking, pretty much."
IU also cleaned up their turnovers in the second half. After giving up the ball eight times in the first half, the Cream and Crimson only turned the ball over three times in the second half.
What may have been the most impressive part of this game for the Hoosiers was the ability to not let up when the second unit came in the game. Head coach Mike Woodson has said all year long that when he calls your name you better be ready to play, and they were tonight.
While IU held JSU to 21% from the field, they themselves shot particularly well. Indiana shot 47 percent from the field and 40 percent from behind the arc. Where IU continues to struggle shooting the ball is the foul line and Coach Woodson touched on that in the press conference.
"We're a better free-throw shooting team than we're showing right now, said Woodson. "I don't like that category at all."
5-0. pic.twitter.com/5UKl9hajIk
Up next for the Hoosiers is another home game. This time, against Marshall, on Nov. 27 at 7:00 PM EST. This will be the final home game before IU travels to Syracuse to battle in the Big Ten/ACC challenge.

On 2 March 2010, an expanded 11-Justice panel of the Supreme Court of Israel held a hearing on petitions submitted Adalah, the Association for Civil Rights in Israel and other human rights organizations and political leaders against the Citizenship and Entry into Israel Law (Temporary Order) – 2003. Adalah Attorneys Hassan Jabareen and Sawsan Zaher submitted the petition and Attorney Zaher represented the case before the court.
The day before the hearing, four right-wing groups requested to join the state in defending the law, including Im Tirtzu.
The law bans Palestinians from the OPT who marry citizens of Israel from obtaining any legal status in Israel. It therefore prevents Palestinian citizens of the state, since it is overwhelmingly Palestinian citizens who marry Palestinians from the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), from realizing their right to a family life in Israel. In March 2007, the Knesset expanded the ban on family unification to citizens of "enemy states", namely Syria, Lebanon, Iraq and Iran, and to "anyone living in an area in which operations that constitute a threat to the State of Israel are being carried out," according to security reports presented to the government. Although the law was enacted as a "temporary order", it has now been extended numerous times since 2003.
At the last court hearing on the case in March 2009, Adalah submitted three expert opinions from international legal experts in the UK, South Africa and the Open Society Justice Initiative, who argued that the Citizenship Law violated the right to family life, and is discriminatory and unconstitutional.

Q: Line replacement in directories clears the whole files? I am trying to recursively replace a whole line from index.html files into a directory with sub-directories.
The code above puts the right lines I'm searching with the var "pattern", but when I run it, it removes everything form my index.html files.
pattern = "Keyword"

replacement = "	"

Dir.glob('/Users/root/Desktop/directory/test/**/index.html') do |item|
    next unless File.file?(item)
        File.open(item, "w+:ASCII-8BIT") do |f|
            f.each_line do |line|
                if line.match(pattern)
                    my_line = line
                    line.sub(my_line, replacement)
                end
        end
    end
end

What am I doing wrong ?

A: You use File.open with open mode w+ which, according to Ruby documentation, is:

"w+" Read-write, truncates existing file to zero length or creates a new file for reading and writing.

To read the file and put some lines use r:
File.open(item, "r:ASCII-8BIT")

A: You need to read the file first, build the expected output, and then write it:
Dir.glob('/Users/root/Desktop/directory/test/**/index.html') do |item|
  next unless File.file?(item)
    output = IO.readlines(item).map do |line|
      if line.match(pattern)
        replacement
      else
        line
      end
    end
    File.open(item, "w+:ASCII-8BIT") do |f|
      f.write output.join
    end
  end
end

I have been describing the meaning of a hashtag professionally for 7 years.
You're probably thinking I fly kites for a living. The reality of it is this: a fundamental understanding of correct hashtagging is not something to take lightly if you want to seriously contend in social media these days.
[-_-]~~~ Pssst. No time to read a 16 minute article?
Get the most important points of this article into your brain in 2 minutes – watch the video below now, and come back when you have time to finish reading.
If you begin to think about the amount of digital media being published on the internet from any Canadian city at any given moment, you quickly realize how difficult it can be to stand out.
While standing out of the crowd for the right reasons may always seem like a good thing, its not always the only smart solution. Sometimes you simply need to stand in the crowd, and speak to the right people.
Hashtags can help with that.
This post is not a drawn out textbook explanation of Hashtags. I've deliberately chosen a 'less rigid' style for explaining the new-and-improved pound sign (patent pending) . I believe that there is also a sense of whimsy and effervescence to the whole Hashtag phenomena, and I want that spirit to shine bright while you read.
1. What is a Hashtag?
In the first few years of working in social media and digital marketing, I discovered an easy method for describing Hashtags to people who's only interaction with one was during tic tac toe. I'm not saying that's you by any means, but I'm going to use that same method today.
Think of a Hashtag. Let's use #realestate for the sake of this example. Now, picture it as a label on a bucket.
Yes, a regular metal bucket with a label that says #realestate on it. On a big field marked "Twitter".
Now imagine every single tweet and morsel of content that is being published with the #realestate Hashtag is going into that bucket. It's a magic bucket that never fills up. You can pick up it's contents and interact with them and their owners, but they don't belong to you.
Now imagine looking left and right, and seeing endless rows of these buckets. Each one with a different label on them. They are all collecting newly published content from all over the planet, live and automatically. You look even further and see different fields.. Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, and more… each with their own rows of (usually the same) buckets.
Now imagine looking behind you, and seeing new buckets being placed, with only one or a few tweets in them. These buckets have brand new labels on them. Some of these buckets will be used more than others. Regardless, all of the buckets will represent a specific category.
You look between the buckets, and see a bunch of tweets and media bits strewn about the ground. You can not identify them – they are unorganized and they too keep piling up. These are the published posts that have no Hashtags associated with them. They are scattered throughout the infinity of cyberspace, never to be found again. Buckets of order amidst chaos.
Sadly, storytime is over. Try to apply the bucket principle to the digital concept of Hashtags now. If you click on a Hashtag (usually they are linked), it will take you to the "bucket" for that Hashtag. In other words, it will take you to a results page where you can then peruse and engage with all the other public content on twitter or instagram that has been tagged with #realestate – in chronological order.
All of this to say that Hashtags are a way of categorizing and filing your published media.
Often times, popular Hashtags include locations, such as #vancouver. Others focus on news topics #bcpoli. Some are just for fun and engagement, like #throwbackthursday or #ninjasdoitbetter. Sometimes people use Hashtags to convey their emotions or current spiritual state #bliss #grateful #icanteven. Most often though, people use Hashtags to describe what they are eating #taco #margarita #spicy #nom.
But what's more important than who is posting to these categories is: who is viewing them?
My friend Emily often browses food-related Hashtags on Instagram, looking for inspiration for her meals. I know for a fact that she was browsing the #quesadilla category the other week. When she finds something she likes, she will usually check out more photos from that user and follow them if they appeal to her general taste. Emily is also a trained cook who loves making amazing food at home.
If you're selling beautiful kitchen knives for home-chefs, you want to find out how to put your content in front of people like Emily. She was not searching for Hashtags like #knife or #chef. So you shouldn't publish content under those categories (necessarily). When was the last time someone bought a knife on Instagram anyways? Aim for relevant engagement, and you will achieve relevant leads.
This is particularly true when talking about social media marketing for real estate agents. Which leads me to our next point.
2. Why are Hashtags important to REALTORS®?
One of the most popular topics on social media is food.
After years of speculating, my best guess as to why we have an infatuation with sharing and liking food media is this: eating is a primal, human activity. Hunting or foraging, preparing a meal, consuming it, sharing it… In fact, some argue that the action of cooking food is what truly makes us human, as no other species does. This is an experience we can all relate to, across cultures and countries – and across social media networks.
Another similar human connection we share is community.
We are all part of a country, a city or town, an island, a campsite, a commune, even a street corner. Almost all of us – poor and rich – lay our heads down somewhere knowing there are others not too far away. We are all part of a community, one way or another. We eat at it's restaurants, walk on it's sidewalks, drive on it's highways, hike in it's hills, swim in it's pools, learn in it's schools, and most importantly, live in it's neighbourhoods.
Your target demographic not only is part of the community, they want to transact or own a piece of the community.
Your potential residential real estate customers are commonly very excited and passionate about the neighbourhood that they are living in or moving to. They are enthusiastically engaged with the businesses in the surrounding areas, the family services in the neighbourhood, local events, parks and recreation facilities, local news, public figures and more – both online and offline. Wouldn't it be just great if they happened to stroll upon your awesome community posts while having a high-spirited leisurely browse through #yourcityhere?
Just like the knife salesman might target Emily's leisurely food browsing, you could target your potential customers' leisurely community browsing. And most importantly, remain relevant to your brand while doing so. Every REALTOR® represents a community.
To answer the original question posed in the heading above, Hashtags are important to real estate agents because they give you a direct line into your community. A place where you can build your brand through a series of pleasant interactions with other community members and leaders.
The Hashtag #vancouver contains 7.1 Million posts on Instagram. #calgary contains 1.5 Million. #toronto contains 14.8 Million. These are very active Hashtags, and are an amazing sort of place to begin engaging and building relationships with your potential future customers.
I invite you to dig deeper into your own community and do some instagram Hashtag searches yourself on Iconosquare or twitter Hashtag searches on search.twitter.com.
3. Where are Hashtags effective?
A good Hashtag strategy is more vital on some social media networks than others.
Hashtags became popular on twitter originally, and due to the massive rise in their popularity, they have been adapted to other social networks since then.
These days you can use Hashtags on popular social media channels such as Facebook as well. They will function the exact same way that they do on Twitter, but they just don't make as much impact.
Other sites have their own methods of categorizing, such as YouTube or Pinterest. They didn't bother adopting the Hashtag for their own reasons. Point is, every (popular) social media channel provides you with a way to categorize content.
Instagram also very successfully implemented Hashtags into their platform. They are the perfect way to organize all the photos stored in the app from the 400 million daily users.
I would highly recommend using Hashtags primarily on Instagram and Twitter.
The question of "Where", however, is a two-layered question. The first layer addresses which social network, then there is the second layer that addresses placement of actual hashtags. This leads us to our fourth and final section. And perhaps the most important.
4. How to use Real Estate Hashtags.
In the previous sections, I mainly focused on the benefits of sharing your content with relevant Hashtags. Mainly relevant community Hashtags. This section is going to go full-ninja.
Yes, the benefits of consistently using #westvancouver when publishing content are substantial, if you're a real estate agent serving that community. However, people are selfish and social media is to some degree narcissism. When you embrace these facts as true, you can unlock the true potential of all Hashtags.
Charlotte, the potential real estate customer, posts an Instagram of her dog Ruby on the Seawall in West Vancouver. She includes #westvancouver #dogsofinstagram #sunset and a couple other Hashtags in the description of her post. She decides to also automatically send that post to her linked twitter account.
David, the local REALTOR®, is perusing the #westvancouver "bucket" and comes across Charlotte's picture of Ruby. He likes the photo.
Charlotte receives a notification that "@RealEstateDave" just liked her photo.
Charlotte receives a notification that "@RealEstateDave" just commented on her photo. She may proceed to comment back, but at the very least she will see it. It was a well thought out comment, relevant to that photo and showing a common interest (in the West Van seawall).
Now you may be thinking "Creepy". But I beg you to reconsider. Charlotte wouldn't have hashtagged anything if she didn't want people seeing her photo. She also would probably have a private account, where only her approved friends could engage with her. I'm not saying everybody wants to be Insta-Famous. I'm just saying that people who are active on social media appreciate being recognized online by peers, businesses and leaders in their community.
Charlotte was looking for engagement and she was happy to receive it. And she's not the only one. Social media brings people with common connections closer through genuine interactions over long distances. Be a part of peoples' daily hours spent on social media by leveraging Hashtags the right way.
This will also draw more and more eyes to your account, be it twitter, instagram, or any other social network. The nature of engaging, and in return being engaged with, is naturally flowing through the biology of social media as a concept. Some social media networks just give you better ways to access the right content through Hashtags.
Now, that we've covered social media engagement as a product of content discovery via Hashtag, comes the question of where Charlotte actually placed her Hashtags when publishing her post (this is what I was getting at at the end of section 3).
It's a bit different depending on whether we're talking about instagram or twitter.
On instagram, you have two options: A) Place your hashtags in the description of your posts (official method) and/or B) tuck your Hashtags away in the comments of your posts (ninja method). Check out the screenshot of one of my recent instagrams from Hawaii below to see both of these methods in use at once.
Notice the two Hashtags highlighted in red, #Waikiki and #aloha30. Those are the primary Hashtags I used in my initial photo description.
Now check out the eight Hashtags highlighted in blue, #city #hawaii #urban #building #island #islandlife #vertigo #high. Those are secondary Hashtags I tucked into my comments.
The main benefit of using the Ninja method or employing both methods is that you can keep your initial description clean, simple, and focused. Maybe add a couple emojis if that suits the mood. Then tuck your other 8-10 Hashtags in the comments, and aim to receive enough comments from other users that your original comment doesn't even show up!
If you're on twitter, it's a little bit more simple. Just add your Hashtags to the end of your tweet. Check out this screenshot of last week's Dojo article being tweeted from the @RealtyNinja account.
Be timely, stay true to your brand, and maintain relevance to the general public. Do it… Do it.
People also use Hashtags on their personal profiles for fun or to be clever and witty. They will use Hashtags that they know nobody else has ever used or will care about, because it speaks to their personal brand somehow. My friends invented the word "Quesh" a couple of weeks ago and it has become a funny, ironic Hashtag that we use now. It just happens sometimes and you shouldn't fight it.
One day, @RealEstateDave was feeling funny, so he shared photos of his mediocre 1 bedroom condo listing but included Hashtags like #livethedream and #allthiscouldbeyours. When I finally read #iwishicouldaffordthis, I realized David is just being ironic and not actually using the Hashtags to describe the listing.
As you can see, the adoption of charismatic Hashtagging for your professional brand can work as well.
Thank you so much for reading. Hope you got something out of it that you can apply to optimizing your real estate marketing.
