Newest Love: Private Island

"For a sound so contagious, I'd bet they're impressive to see live."
– What Youth
"So grab your sunglasses and sunscreen and hit the pool with this one on your loudspeakers." — Earmilk
"L.A.-based Private Island has one foot in the retro-ism of smooth jazz and funk and the other in the gang's-all-here musical collectivism of modern indie-pop."
– Buzzbands.LA
After dominating the West Coast music scene and selling out headlining shows in LA, Private Island is heading on their first US Tour with Future Generations, prepared to bring their mix of funky California indie pop-rock to a venue near you. After making a splash on the internet with their Hype Machine approved hit "Drugs," and over 3 million streams on Spotify, Private Island is excited to promote their third studio project, Night Drive, which will mark a slight departure from their indie-rock past to a smoother R&B vibe.
The lead single, "Turbulence," is Private Island's first step into a world that breaks away from the shimmering indie-rock of their past releases. While maintaining their roots, the new music opens the door into a darker, more polished sound, where lead singer Christian Lum effortlessly denounces his loss of faith in love. The sonic development of the new single mixed with their signature bluesy-rock sound leaves listeners with a taste of the new album, due out fall 2017. The Southern California six-piece band, comprised of Christian Lum, Tommy Nickerson, Cameron Anderson, Michelle Guerrero, Tim Barbour and Roger Mawer, worked with producer Jacob Munk and mastering engineer Joe Lambert for Night Drive.

Check 'Em Out: Navy Gangs
Navy Gangs is a pop quintet currently residing in the washed out and overly demanding area of New York City. Singer/Guitarist Matthew Tillwick, Guitarist Noah Kohll, and Drummer Gavin Cordaro began orchestrating music together in 2012 at Central High School in the red light district of Omaha where they failed their junior years miserably.
For 2 months they took jobs working in the desert dome at the Henry Doorly zoo until they saved enough of their dismal wages for one way bus passes to New York City, where they moved in temporarily with Kohll's grandmother Estelle.
After making some new friends in Washington Square park, the 3 boys found themselves in a basement scene in little Italy. It was there that they met their bassist, Wilson Keithline from Providence, Rhode Island. Together they became Navy Gangs, a troupe who's songs grab influence from dark rooms, hopeless romanticism, table wine, and back page humor.
The EP was recorded in Noah Kohll's grandmother Estelle's home by Joey Kimono straight to 2 inch tape and was mixed and mastered by Steve Marion of Delicate Steve. It features vocals and percussion from long-time friend Coley Gold, a nomadic vixen who plays shows with the band often but never rings ahead of time (just shows up).
Derived from heartbreak, endless internet streaming, and the pain that is being social, Navy Gangs debut EP is a pop miracle. Joining the ranks of huge acts like Lady Gaga, Beck and Green Day, they've been named one of Newsweek's "10 October Albums To Look Forward To."
Check out the 4 tracks from the EP below:

Must Listen: Coast Modern – "The Way It Was"
"Coast Modern debuted with "Hollow Life" and followed it up with "Animals" both jaunty, summery songs with lyrics that go deeper than you might think on first listen. (Check out my post from back in May.)
The Los Angeles duo's new single is "The Way It Was," and this time they introduce a surprising electronic element towards the end alongside their usual pop/rock blend.
"With so many songs about 'better times,' we thought there'd be no better time to write a song about the wetter times—the lush rainforest of the present. In such a turbulent era, it's easy to get stuck in the quicksand of nostalgia or tangled in vines of worry. Come on this jungle cruise with us as we explore the wonders of now…because we all know it's never gonna go back to the way it was."

Innovetive Petcare Welcomes Hunt Valley Animal Hospital
By Innovetive Petcare | October 4, 2021
Innovetive Petcare is proud to introduce its first partnership in the state of Maryland! Today, we welcome the fantastic team at Hunt Valley Animal Hospital, led by Dr. Allan Frank.
Founded in 1984 in Cockeysville, Maryland, Dr. Frank has spent the last 37 years growing Hunt Valley Animal Hospital and developing a reputation for progressive medicine and advanced medical and surgical skills. Dr. Frank, along with his 6 associates, have a special interest in treating brachycephalic breeds, so much so that they see an average of 8-10 "smoosh face" breeds a day.
Hunt Valley Animal Hospital is known for their yearly Bulldog Day, highlighted by the Running of the Bulls, which takes place at the famous Pimlico Racetrack and averages a crowd of 1,500; it's not uncommon for people and their dogs to travel from up to four hours away for the event. While the event has been put on hold due to the pandemic, they look forward to resuming festivities again in the future. They were also recently named runner up in Baltimore Magazine's "Best of Baltimore" Readers' Poll.

Dr. Frank was personally referred to us by his friend and colleague, Dr. Adam Cohen of Ranch and Lakewood Ranch Animal Hospitals, who experienced the IPC Difference early in 2021 and encouraged him to speak with us. He was looking for a partner to help with his exit strategy, but one who would preserve the legacy and culture he had worked so hard to build over the course of his career. In Dr. Frank's own words:
"The biggest factor that impacted my decision on going forward with IPC is the professionalism of Paul and Mark. I felt they wanted to preserve the team and family that was built at HVAH. They were true to their word in all aspects of negotiations and made me feel secure with my decision."

Study Uncovers More Evidence Linking Diabetes to Lipitor, Crestor, Other Statins
Researchers from the United Kingdom say they may be able to explain, at least in part, why side effects of Lipitor, Crestor, and other statin-based cholesterol drugs may actually cause diabetes, in a study that further confirms the link between the widely used medications and the disease.
In a study published in The Lancet on September 24, researchers indicate that the enzyme the drugs are designed to inhibit to control cholesterol is also tied to a number of factors affecting blood sugar.
The enzyme is known as 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR), and the researchers looked at gene variants and how they affected plasma lipid, glucose, and insulin concentrations. The study substituted the gene variants for the effects statins have on HMGCR production. Researchers had data on more than 200,000 individuals from 43 genetic studies.
They found that some gene variants had the same effects on HMGCR enzyme production as statins, and in those cases, the genes also had similar effects on bodyweight, waist circumference and the risk of type 2 diabetes. The researchers said that suggests that the way statins effect HMGCR enzyme production is the same as the gene variant, meaning that since statins inhibit HMGCR production, they cannot help but increase the risk of diabetes as well.
"Statins increase the risk of new onset type 2 diabetes melitus," the researchers state. "The increased risk of type 2 diabetes noted with statins is at least partially explained by HMGCR inhibition."
Crestor, Lipitor Diabetes Risks
Statins are a popular class of cholesterol drugs, which are among the most widely used medications in the world. The findings come as concerns increase over the link between diabetes and Lipitor, even as some health organizations push guidelines that would result in million of new statin users being placed on the drugs indefinitely.
The study comes out just two months after Italian researchers published a study in the medical journal Diabetes Care, which determined that there was a dose-specific response that suggests that the longer a user takes Lipitor and similar drugs, the higher their risk of developing diabetes.
In June, Canadian researchers reported in the British Medical Journal (BMJ) that they had found users of high potency statins, including Lipitor, Crestor, and Zocor, may face a 15% increased risk of being diagnosed with diabetes within two years of starting treatment. The researchers estimated that for every 350 patients given a high potency statin instead of a low potency statin, one of them would contract diabetes.
Crestor, Lipitor and Zocor are not only high potency statins, but they are also among the most popular drugs in the class. All other statin-based medications were considered to be lower potency cholesterol drugs.
Earlier this year, researchers in the U.K. reached similar conclusions in findings published in the European Journal of Preventative Cardiology. That study conducted by researchers from the National heart and Lung Institute in Imperial College London found that 3% of those taking statins were later diagnosed with diabetes, compared to only 2.4% who were given a placebo.
Crestor, Lipitor Diabetes Concerns
Statins generate combined sales of more than $14.5 billion per year, and are increasingly used to block the body's creation of cholesterol, which is a key contributor to coronary artery disease. Although the medications are widely used, a number of studies have linked statins to an increased risk of potentially serious injuries, including muscle damage, kidney problems, and diabetes.
Late last year, the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology called for new heart guidelines which some say would put millions of additional Americans on Lipitor, Crestor and other cholesterol drugs indefinitely. The recommendations suggest that statins should be the only drugs doctors prescribe to lower cholesterol levels and call for doctors to toss out cholesterol goal numbers, potentially keeping patients on the drugs permanently. Critics have suggested that the recommendations will result in the "statinization" of America.

When we will end the storage of digital data, we'll use DNA
In the world there is a shortage of space for storage of digital data. This problem exists for a few years, however, ordinary people are unlikely to about it ever thought of. Not so long ago there was a time when the free space for recording of digital data was limited by the size of the hard drive of your computer. When the limit is reached we either went for a new hard disk, or recording onto the optical media. When they ended, we just removed the old data and recorded new. But there are those who never deletes data.
For Example, do not many companies, especially those whose scope of activities and the value depends on the digital information that they have. The times are changing. Technologies are developing. Now the information is not removed, it is transferred to the cloud. By the way, the term "cloud" is very ephemeral and does not reflect the real physical phenomenon. He just seemed very comfortable and beautiful, and I left it. Where is the data stored? It does not matter, at least as long as we can at any time refer to them. Is there a high probability that we eventually run out of space in the cloud? Nobody is thinking about that. While paying your subscription all right. Little space? Choose a new tariff plan and get even more space for your information.
This razmalevannuju led to the fact that people became difficult even to imagine that someday we might run out of storage space for digital data. As was previously difficult to imagine what on Earth sooner or later will end the fresh water reserves are replenished through its cycle in nature. But here's the reality. In 2018, the water supply in Cape town (South Africa) is rapidly approaching its full exhaustion. And we, the people, don't think about it, are fast approaching the lack of free space for storage of digital data.
data, Data, there are some data
The Main reason for this depletion of free space of course tied to the rate at which we produce new data. Every day in the world thanks to the 3.7 billion of Internet users generated about 2.5 trillion bytes of information. Among all existing digital data, 90% was created in just the last two years. With the growing number of smart devices that connect to the world wide web (the «Internet of things»), these numbers will soon grow even stronger.
"Speaking of cloud storage, people often imply there is an infinite space to store information" — comments portal Digital Trends Hyun-Joon Park, Chairman and co-founder of the Catalog company's data storage.
"However, the cloud is the same computer on which your data is stored. People just don't realize that the world generated so much digital data that the pace at which they are substantially ahead of our ability to keep it. In the very near future we will get a huge gap between the payload and our ability to maintain them with traditional media".
As companies involved in cloud data storage is constantly busy building new data centers or expanding existing ones, is very difficult to predict when we will lose all free space. However, according to the same Park, by 2025, humanity in the aggregate can generate more than 160 zettabytes of digital information (zettabytes, for those who don't know, it's a trillion gigabytes). How much of that volume will we really save? About 12.5 percent, said the Park.
This issue definitely needs solving.
Maybe this answer is DNA?
So consider the Park, Nathaniel rocket, as well as their colleagues from the Massachusetts Institute of technology. Together they founded the company Catalog, which has developed a technology that may in the opinion of its creators to change the way we think about how in the near future to store all our digital data. In their opinion, or rather the statement in a short time, digital data from all over the world would fit in an area of no more wardrobe.
The Company Catalog offers an appropriate solution to encode data in DNA. This sounds like one of the subjects of the American science fiction writer Michael Crichton, but they offer a scalable and affordable solution is realistic and even attracted $ 9 million in venture funding, and support of leading professors from Stanford and Harvard universities.
"I often ask the question: whose DNA do we use? It seems as though people believe we take the DNA of someone and turn them into mutants or something", — laughs Park.
But this is not what the company Catalog. DNA that uses the Catalog to encode the data is a synthetic polymer. It is not of biological origin and was not created in pairs of nitrogenous bases, in which information is recorded. A series of zeros and ones, which is recorded in the polymer may not be code for something living. However, the output is the product of biologically almost indistinguishable from what we are accustomed to meet in a living cell.
The Idea that DNA can be considered as an alternative means for storing digital information originated a few decades ago. In fact, whenJames Watson and Francis Crick came to model the structure of DNA in 1953. However, to date a number of significant limitations did not allow to see the huge potential of using DNA as a storage medium for digital information, not to mention how all this translate into reality.
In usual representation method of information storage by DNA focused on the synthesis of new DNA molecules; the mapping of sequences of bits of information with the sequences of four pairs of DNA and the production of a sufficient number of molecules to represent all the numbers that you want to keep. The problem with this method is the high cost and slowness of the process. In addition, there are a lot of restrictions pertaining to the storage of the data.
The Approach of the company Catalog offers off process of synthesis of molecules from the process of their coding. If to speak in essence, the company first produces a huge amount of certain molecules (which significantly reduces the cost of production), and then encodes the information through the use of a diversity of ready-made molecules.
As an analogy Catalog compares the previous approach with the production of custom hard drives already pre-recorded information. The record of new information in this case, implies the necessity for a new hard drive from scratch. A new approach proposed Catalog, we can compare the mass production of empty hard disks and record them as required, a new encoded information.
it's All in the way of storage
The Beauty of it all is how a huge amount of data can be stored in a very compact area. As a demonstration Catalog used his technology to encode in the DNA of various fiction books. For example, the whole cycle of novels "the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy". But all this stuff in front of opportunities.
"If you compare comparable magnitude, then the number of bits you can save by using DNA will be a million times higher than what is offered by the same solid state drives. For example, take the size of a normal flash drive. When you use the DNA method of storing information you can record on a device the size of a flash drive is a million times more information than a regular flash drive".
Compared with SSDs, say developers, still not quite accurate. DNA allows you to store a comparable amount of much more information, however, the technology does not allow her instant access, as for example, in the case of the same USB drives. Technology Catalog transformerait information to physical solid pellets (pellets) made of synthetic polymer.
To access this information, you need to take the encoded synthetic polymer pellets to rehydrate it with water, and then "read" using DNA sequencer. As part of the process will be to allocate base pairs of DNA, which can then be used to calculate the number of zeros and ones forming information. From beginning to end, this process can take at least a few hours.
For this reason, this technology is primarily focused on the archiving market, which do not require quick access to information. Usually in this case means data that are not used or very rarely used after recording, but it is extremely important to preserve. For example, how does your guarantee on a refrigerator, only in the scale of corporate significance.
What benefits it will give ordinary users? In an earlier article we talked about the fact that most of us don't think about what is happening and where we store our information. To solid state media? Yes let though on a magnetic tape. We are not interested as long as we have access to it at any time.
For the duration of the recovery process is information we are unlikely to ever reach a level where some Cloud, Google or Yandex.The disk will store our information in giant vats of DNA. If the same technology Catalog proves to be effective, it is likely that it will find its niche in areas where approach long-term storage of information. As for short-term storage method of information, which is currently used as hard disk drives and solid state drives, we have to rely on other methods.
Introducing perspectives
this beaker contains millions of copies of the data encoded in DNA
Nevertheless, here can be seen as an almost sci-Fi.
"Imagine that you implanted under the skin pellet contains all information about your health: details about your magnetic resonance angiography, information about your blood group, chest x-ray to your dentist", — said Park.
"You'll want all of this data was always available to you, but don't want to store them somewhere in the cloud or on some unprotected hospital server. Having always of this information in the form of DNA, you can physically manage it, to obtain, if necessary, access, to limit it to all the rest and open it directly your doctor".
"in Almost every modern hospital has a DNA sequencer. I'm not saying that we are pursuing now is the goal of usingthis technology, but in the future it may become possible" — he said.
Currently, the Catalog is engaged in pilot projects aimed at demonstrating the effectiveness of developed technology.
"some intractable scientific challenges before us is not necessary, it is more of a task on optimization of mechanical processes" — said Park.
By his own admission to the Park, he decided to connect to study ways of storing data with DNA just because he thought it was very cool and innovative technological approach to the solution of a big problem. Now according to experts, this technology may become one of the most important technologies of our time.

Q: NativeScript Angular2 Passing context parameter for data binding a function I have been looking through the documentation and examples but cannot seem to find an appropriate example to pass the source entity to a function for  binding.
For example, in trying to bind the "hidden" visibility parameter value to the result of function isHidden(), I would like to pass some sort of variable like callerContext that knows which TextField is is associated with the binding. Does such a variable exist or do I have create a scheme myself?
<TextField class="input" hint="Email address" [hidden]="isHidden(callerContext)"

Please let me know if this is not clear.

Back Elmore Leonard: Westerns Print
Elmore Leonard: Westerns
Last Stand at Saber River | Hombre | Valdez Is Coming | Forty Lashes Less One | eight short stories More
Edited by Terrence Rafferty
Story of the Week | News
Flashback: When Elmore Leonard, a "rising young writer of Western novels," debuted (sort of) in The New Yorker
Terrence Rafferty: Elmore Leonard's West is "an idea of the West"
One of the great storytellers of our time, Elmore Leonard began his career writing Westerns, a genre he loved. In the pages of pulp magazines that were still flourishing in the 1950s—Argosy, Dime Western Magazine, Zane Grey's Western, and others—he perfected his trademark style, a blend of wiry tautness, sharp characterizations, and jolts of unexpected humor. Now, writer and film critic Terrence Rafferty has gathered the best of Leonard's Westerns in a single volume, four classic novels and eight outstanding short stories, including the tales that inspired such powerful films as Hombre, Valdez Is Coming, and 3:10 to Yuma.
In Last Stand at Saber River (1959), Leonard spins a tight narrative in which a homecoming Confederate veteran must fight to regain the ranch that has been stolen from him. Set, like most of Leonard's Westerns, against a stark Arizona landscape, the novel is a masterpiece of unbroken tension, as the hero confronts a violent new war for all he holds dear.
Chosen as one of the twenty-five greatest Western novels by the Western Writers of America, and the basis for a classic film starring Paul Newman, Hombre (1961) is a stagecoach drama whose hero, a man raised by Apaches, is treated with contempt by the white settlers who will ultimately depend on him for their survival.
Valdez Is Coming (1970), Leonard's favorite among his Westerns, pits Mexican American town constable Bob Valdez against the entrenched power of frontier oligarch Frank Tanner. When Valdez is maneuvered by Tanner into shooting an innocent man, he launches a one-man war for justice for the man's widow that culminates with a surprising twist.
With Forty Lashes Less One (1972) Leonard explores the comic tone that would mark his later books. Set within the harsh confines of Yuma Territorial Prison, the novel recounts the unlikely friendship of two prisoners—one part Apache, the other African American—planning a near-impossible escape.
Like the novels, the eight stories included here, are tough, suspenseful, convincing, and beautifully spare in style. They range from Leonard's first published pulp story, "Trail of the Apache" (1951), to one of his last, the fascinating character study "The Tonto Woman" (1982). Among the others are the twice-filmed "Three-Ten to Yuma" (1953) and "The Captives" (1955), the novella that inspired the acclaimed film The Tall T.
Terrence Rafferty, editor, is the author of The Thing Happens: Ten Years of Writing About the Movies (1993). His writing on books, film, and popular culture has appeared in many publications, including The New Yorker, The Atlantic, and The New York Times. He has taught comparative literature at Cornell, film criticism at Columbia, and writing and American Studies at Princeton.
This volume is available for adoption in the Guardian of American Letters Fund.

Featured performers include contributors to this year's journal engaging in a variety of dada live art installations, including: Joel Allegretti, Mark Blickley, Meagan Brothers, Billy Cancel, Steve Dalachinsky, Gabriel Don, Jeff Farr, Thomas Fucaloro, Heide Hatry, Aimee Herman, Bob Holman, J.C. Hopkins, Alfonso Iandorio, Ron Kolm, Jane LeCroy, Patricia Leonard, Sophie Malleret, Lois Kagan Mingus, Valery Oisteanu, Anna O'Meara, Jane Ormerod, Kathleen Reichelt, Wesley Rickert, John Paul, Martina Salisbury, Katherine Sloan, Ann F. Unger, George Wallace, and Joanie H.F. Zosike.
MAINTENANT 12: A Journal of Contemporary Dada Writing and Art serves up the controversial theme, "WE ARE ALL A 'LIKE'." With the rise in social media use—and abuse—the concept of "like" has reached whole new levels. There's the idea of an individual's reaction to events, people, images, etc. as a reduction to "Like" or "Dislike" without need for deeper consideration. Then there is the status factor: that something which is "Liked" by the largest number of people is of value. In fact, in the social media orbit, it is seemingly beneficial to offer strong, sharp, simplistic opinions—instead of nuanced, deeper, shaded considerations—simply because they provoke the greatest likelihood of widespread attention. How will this reduction of thought shape the future of interpersonal relations, intellectual advancement, and politics? As we teeter on the brink of nuclear war, the concept of Dada brilliantly encompasses the urgency of present times with both clarity and purposeful confusion.


Are you as excited as I am that asparagus is finally in season again?!! Spring is finally here--this as we just had another snowstorm here in the Northeast-- but no matter because somewhere it's warm enough to ship in wonderful asparagus to our local supermarket and so I've been cooking with it all week! I've been roasting it, made this wonderful chicken and asparagus skillet thing that I promise to share with you soon and then I remembered about this amazingly delicious and easy crustless asparagus and feta quiche that I quintupled and served to about 100 people for a huge brunch that we had at our house a couple of years ago. It was gobbled up in no time (I probably could've decatupled it--is that even a word?) so I can guarantee you it was a hit. And I've been meaning to share it with you for ages, but for some reason...anyway, don't procrastinate like me--make this now while asparagus are in season. You're going to love it!
This quiche is delicious and special enough to serve for even your fanciest brunches, but more often I find myself making this for dinner. It's great for those nights when life just seems too busy and overloaded and you can't seem to muster up the energy to make a full blown meal. Once you've gotten this into the oven, you can make a simple salad and you've got yourself one tasty and low-carb healthy dinner!
Each bite is full of the wonderful contrasts of flavor and texture: the crunch and slight bitterness of the asparagus perfectly balancing out the creaminess of the egg and slight saltiness of the melted feta. Each bite reminds me that no matter what the weather condition outside, Spring is really here!! Wouldn't this make a great addition to your Easter brunch?
1. Preheat oven to 350ºF. Spray a glass or ceramic pie dish with non-stick spray and set aside.
2. Cut asparagus into 1/2 pieces. Melt the butter in a large skillet and add the asparagus. Season with a bit of salt and pepper and saute them for about 5-7 minutes, until asparagus are crisp-tender. Transfer to a bowl and set aside to cool slightly.
3. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs together with a wire whisk. Add the half and half, sour cream, salt and pepper and whisk again. Using a large spoon, stir in the feta, scallions, parsley and cooled asparagus until evenly incorporated.
4. Pour the mixture into the prepared pie dish and bake for 35-45 minutes or until the quiche is golden brown and a butter knife inserted into the center of the quiche comes out perfectly clean.
5. Let the quiche rest for at least 10 minutes before cutting so that you can have nice even slices. Serve warm or at room temperature. You can even chill it and make this up to 3 days in advance. Just cover it well with plastic wrap, keep it refrigerated and reheat in a 350ºF oven for 10-15 minutes. Also this doubles really well. You can cook it a 9x13-inch pan and cut into squares if you like instead of two pie dishes.
Note: Recipe adapted from Tori Avey. I omitted the nutmeg because none of us like nutmeg and increased the amount of feta. I also used more asparagus.

WHY I LEFT LAGBAJA – EGO
EGO IHENACHO OGBARO
Ego Ihenacho Ogbaro was Lagbaja's main female vocalist and her name has been mostly linked to Never Far Away, the solo dedicated to her in Lagbaja's Africano; The Mother of Groove Album. But the newly married singer says the confidence she exhibits on stage today took her many years to develop.
" After I left Ikeja High School, I wanted to start earning money immediately. I did all sorts of things. I worked in a restaurant (not a fancy one), in a supermarket and even in a ball-making factory at Ajao Estate, but I only lasted a day there because I could not handle it" Ego which is short for Nwakaego meaning " a child is better than money" eventually found a job as a receptionist at a furniture company, where I made a steady living and still had time to sing.
I come from a very creative family of rappers, actors and singers, even my mum can sing.
My friend, Hakeem Benson, told Sunny Nneji, who belonged to Bisade Ologunde's Colours band, about my sonorous voice and he visited me at the furniture company. When Bisade walked in, I thought; "who is this tall handsome man?" I can still recall. He was smiling. He invited me for an audition and was pleased with my performance.
Three months later, he contacted me and asked me to sing at a show which was planned for the following day. It was World Health Organisation event and I was scared and nervous before going on stage that my legs were shaking visibly.nervous or not, I sang so impressively that I then appeared regularly with Colours and within 24 months, the group evolved into Lagbaja. Thus began my extraordinary musical journey.
As Lagbaja produced one successful album after another, being with him, the creative relationship and friendship among the band members deepened, fed by their common joy in music-making and the enthusiastic response of their audiences. We never had a bad show, they were all incredible. There were also trips around the world, which I found extremely enlightening. " I have never been outside the country before I joined the band and I really wanted that adventure. I got to see Brazil, Cuba, America, England, Belgium, Jordan Central and West Africa".
However, the thrill of success did not come without sacrifices. One of the hardest choices I had to make was between furthering my musical career and my education. I was admitted into Lagos State University for a five-year part-time course in Public Adminstration in 2001. Seven years after I joined Lagbaja, but when the tours took me outside the country, my studies suffered. " I was the only girl in the band and there was no one who could replace me when we travelled.
I missed my first-semester examinations in the first and second years, so I knew that I would have to do a sixth year to make it up. At the beginning of my third year, I finally made the difficult decision to give up the course". Nevertheless, I did not abandon my ambition for studying, I enrolled for French lessons at Alliance Francaise, which I found very helpful when we travelled to Francophone countries in and outside Africa.
I still want to study French at University, I have not given up on that." Motivated by my love for music and the desire to be independent, I got stuck with Lagbaja. The experience greatly broadened my knowledge of music and of finances. Over the years, we got salary increases, I am not a shopaholic or a spendthrift, I do not waste money, I save it, or invest in shares. I never overindulged myself, so that I always have something to fall back on".
However, in December 2006, I finally announced to the band that I was leaving. My decision had long been expected by my fans, and I wanted to begin 2007 with a new slate. " Even Lagbaja had been expecting it, it was just a matter of time. But I knew that it would be hard for him to adjust and find someone else to sing with the group. He was sad, but he realised that it was the right time for me to leave and he promised to support me in whatever I do".
My breakaway was boosted by the popularity of my brilliant interpretation of Never Far Away, the hit track of Lagbaja's Africano: The Mother of Groove album. It was actually written before I joined the group, but when Lagbaja decided to add it to the album, I did not anticipate it being so successful. And while I really enjoyed the thrill of its popularity, I kept warning myself, do not overdo it-do not push your luck.
Last year, I got married to Niyi Ogbaro, who is now my manager. Together, we are developing a solo career in which I hope to explore traditional music, a genre I never listened to before joining Lagbaja, but have since grown to love. I cannot imagine myself breaking out of soul, which has heavily influenced my style. I love, live and breathe soul. I want to do relaxed, laid-back music. I think there is enough hip-hop around. In the past, I only knew Chris Okotie, Onyeka Onwenu and lots of foreign artistes. But eventually, because I can speak Yoruba as my mum is from Ijebu, I started listening to traditional songs. Percussion will definitely feature a lot in my future music.
I hope to become a solo artiste, and I am currently putting together a band to back me up at events like weddings and birthday ceremonies. I used to do that a lot and I miss those days. I also like singing other people's songs. Which is not to say, I lack lyrics of my own. I am currently composing songs that I have been writing since 2003. The realisation that I could compose as well as perform was an important stage in my development.
For years, Lagbaja encouraged me to write songs but I kept telling myself, I could not do it because each time I tried to put pen to paper, nothing happened. Then, on my way from a tour to South Africa, I bought myself a midget ( tape recorder) because I could create a whole song, but forgot it almost immediately. The first time I used the midget, I sang a whole song in under 10 minutes, and that was how I started writing my own songs.
Although, I dislike having my privacy invaded by fans, I know I will still have to endure it during my future career. When I am on stage, I give myself to the audience completely. Outside the stage, I just want to be my own person-but that is not always possible. "Whereas Lagbaja managed to achieve a degree of anonymity outside his mask. I was constantly accosted by strangers. " I get really annoyed when people assume that any man who is with me is Lagbaja. My husband has been called "Lagbaja" several times! What is even worse is when people just stare at me, without saying anything. I do not know how to react-it makes me feel very awkward.
I am a human being and I do not know how to put up a pretence, so when I am having a bad day, you will know it. I treasure my privacy,I cannot relax and go to places I used to visit, like amala joints, because people would whisper about me so loudly that I can hear them. They seem to think that they own me. I went to mail a while ago and two girls just came up to me and took my photograph, without even asking me for permission. I was really offended, and let them know it, but they simply carried on as if my wishes were irrelevant-as though I were their property. "These are not serious incidents, but they are prices one pays for success."
Despite my aversion to public scrutiny, I am considering venturing into TV presenting and acting, judging from the characters I played in Lagbaja's video, I clearly have the talent to make as much of a success in that field as I have in music.


Home to one of the most consistent beachbreaks in the Pacific, Mark and Daves offers 5 star resort atmosphere right on the beach at Playa Colorado, Nicaragua.
Wake up in the morning, walk out of your room and view the waves breaking from our tranquil palapa. Sit back an sip your coffee, do Yoga or relax on our sofas. During your stay, home will be in one of five private cabanas, Our home was built by a team of Nicaraguan craftsmen in the traditional style. The ocean front house sits on two acres of immaculate beach front property and offers three incredible waves, and infinity swimming pool & lap pool, and exclusive access to one of Nicaragua's best golf courses.
Each "air conditioned" room provides adequate sleeping for two – two "new – pillow top" full beds each with a sense of warmth and identity. Each room comes with a TV/DVD & Ipod stereo dock, private bathroom, sink, toilet, shower, and bath towels. Each room also has a closet and drawers to store clothes and bags.
Come down and escape your day to day life. Enjoy the Nicaraguan culture and the beauty of the tropics- turn off your computer and cell phone and immerse yourself into the daily peace and serenity. Sit back in the pool and enjoy a cold drink while watching your friends surf in front of the house. There is nothing better than being in paradise – make the most if it!
Nicaragua is blessed with an abundance of good waves, offshore winds, and sunny weather almost all year-round. Mark and Dave's Place is situated in front of the best waves the country has to offer with a climate that averages around 80 degress and water temps that hover between 75 – 85 degrees as well. The surf rarely drops below 2 feet at any time during the year and bigger swell events are likely – up to 8 feet – between April – October.
Instead of searching for waves via boat or on a sketchy 4 wheel drive mission our guests are are already on the most wave fertile beach in Nicaragua… no boat or car required and no reason to go anywhere else! With the wind almost always offshore due to the Lago Nicaragua effect be prepared for a good mix of barrels, beachbreaks, reefs, and points during your visit.
Since Mark and Dave's place is located directly on the beach you can pick and choose when you want to surf, hang out in the pool, hit up a round of golf, or capture another magical sunset in paradise – we've got you covered!
Colorado's is arguably one of the best beachbreaks in Nicaragua, if not Central America. Any hint of south swell gets funneled into A-Frame peaks groomed to perfection by the constant offshore wind. For most surfers visiting Nicaragua, Colorado's is only accessible by a lengthy boat ride requiring you to wake up at 5:00am, head to the dock, load up, and head for the break. At Mark and Dave's you will be able to wake up, enjoy a fresh cup of coffee, rub the sleep from your eyes, and simply look down the beach to get the latest surf report.
The wave itself is a neverending mix of barrels, peaks, sections, and ramps that revolve around the mood of the ocean and tides. No two days are ever the exact same but one thing is for certain, Colorado's can dish out incredible barrels when the elements come together. Its power will surprise you at times, it is one of the most consistent spots in Central America as well. Be prepared to break a board or two during your visit, but also be prepared to get some of the best rides of your life over one of the best sandbars imaginable!
Ponga Drops (aka: Mark and Dave's) is a deepwater peak that breaks over a relatively tame rock reef. It is an absolute magnet for swell and has the uncanny ability to turn any ripple the Pacific Ocean throws at it into something overhead and rippable. Ponga Drops is more sensitive to stiff offshore winds than surrounding waves because it breaks pretty far offshore; but, with lights winds or no wind at all you should expect a very playful right that breaks all the way through to the inside as well as a mellow left ideal for multiple cutbacks.
Ponga Drops located directly in front of Mark and Dave's Place and the view you see above is the view you will undoubtedly see during your trip as well. It can hold any size without closing out and has been compared to a tame Sunset Beach in Hawaii crossed with a fun day at Wind and Sea on some of its better days. Best of all your friends can heckle you from our infinity pool as you drop in!
The Beach stretches for over a mile and is highlighted by Colorado's and Ponga Drops… Besides these two, superb waves the entire beach has the ability to transform into a very good beachbreak depending on wind, tide, and swell. The area directly out front of Mark and Dave's Place can get remarkably good on a mixed up swell and the area to the north of the house, next to the cliff you see in the picture above has the ability to fire on any given day as well.
"The Right" down the beach is actually a mellow right pointbreak that hugs the corner of a picturesque rock cliff. The waves here refract and bend around the headland andultimately open up for a very entertaining 50 – 75 yard right that eventually extinguishes itself into a closeout when the rest of the swell catches up to it.
Other breaks in our vicinity that you can access if you decide to rent a truck or let us set up a guide for you include Astellero, Chacosante, Manzanillo, Outer Reef, Playgrounds, Popoyo, Rosada, Santanas, and many more!
We can accommodate groups ranging from 1 to 10+ guests!
Beer = 1.5 cases of beer per guest included. Extra Beer, wine and hard alcohol can be acquired through our staff.

Immigration Policy and the Effect on Missions Worldwide, part 3: The Parallels
Mark 13:10 – And the gospel must first be proclaimed to all nations.
There isn't a lot of data when it comes to missionaries from America in the early stages of our country. The majority of Christian missions occurred internally before moving overseas. The majority of "missions" work came from denominations such as Methodists and Baptists scrambling to find enough pastors and leaders to go west. In 1790, there were only 13 states in America. The west was largely unknown.
The primary task was to build a nation while, at the same time, evangelizing the culture. Methodist circuit riders were very successful in this as they could cover large areas quickly and "plant churches" in areas that others couldn't.
Prior to the Revolutionary War, much of the missionary work had been done by the Anglican Society for the Propagation of the Gospel. After the war, the Anglican church pulled out of America and we were left to our own leaders. Francis Asbury, for example, was a missionary to America and he traveled and preached across the country until his death in 1816.
What started in 1803 with the Louisiana Purchase, which would double the size of our country, was the first big move into missions for many evangelical Protestants. For a few hundred years already, Protestants were on mission to the Native Americans.
Many Christians believed they were in the last times after the Revolutionary War. Many believed it was important to convert as many people as possible before the coming of Christ. Missionary work fit well with this new dynamic in the young country.
By 1810, small group of men attending Andover Seminary banded together to follow the path that English Baptists were doing since 1792, evangelizing Asia. Men like Adoniram Judson and Samuel Mills created the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, supported by the Congregationalist denomination. They began raising money and creating resources and, by 1812, Judson and his wife left for India with a few other families. Eventually they reached Burma where they ministered for 38 years. Judson's group was the first
Throughout the early 1800s, there were only a few hundred American missionaries throughout the world. By the turn of the century, there would still be very few missionaries worldwide. If you totaled all of the missionaries from both Europe and America throughout the 1800s, they would total no more than 15,000 and many of those died within their first 2 years in the field.
The main issue with missions throughout the 1800s was twofold:
With much of the young America in need of both evangelizing and social missions, many of the churches focused their missions efforts at home.
The War of 1812 caused Americans to lose their international spirit. This time of isolationism would last until just after the Civil War.
In 1800 only 1% of all Protestant Christians lived in Asia, Africa or Central/South America. Today that number totals 67% of all Protestants live there.
But this brings up a very interesting point. With regard to immigration reform, the problems with England caused an isolationist view, not just for missionaries, but for all of America. The isolationist views caused denominations and religious leaders to withhold much of their international missions activity.
The majority of missions happened at home.
But when the century changed from the 1800s to 1900, there was a large missions conference in New York City called the Ecumenical Missionary Conference. Over 162 different mission organizations were represented. Much of the reason mission organizations became interested in overseas missions again is that after the Civil War, the United States was experiencing a labor shortage and opened up immigration to allow people to come in to offset that shortage. The influx of new cultures into America gave churches a taste of what else was outside of America.
All the major denominations formed their own missionary societies.
But the 1900s would not be without their share of problems, much of it tied to both immigration reform and the American dream. For much of the early 1900s we had significantly restrictive immigration policies against those of Asian descent. This led to many missionary agencies in Asia and eastern countries shutting down.
World War 1 ended in in 1918 and a few short years afterward America realized that we needed to protect our borders.
While American Protestants worked their way into Central and South America at the turn of the 20th century, the majority of cultural understanding didn't start until soon after the signing of Bracero Agreement in 1942.
With many of the special allowances for Mexico and other countries, especially those from Europe, Asian countries started to remove American missionaries. Many missionaries in the 1950s were removed from China. This was partially due to Marxist ideology taking hold in China at the time, but the lack of deference for Asian, and primarily Chinese, immigrants led to China closing much of their opportunities for American missionaries during the 50s.
Another interesting parallel happened in the late 1960s. We passed preference system which replaced the quota system in 1965. Over the next few years, there would be an increase in missionary attacks and countries, like Guinea, for example, who would close their borders to all missionaries. Thousands of churches internationally would be destroyed. Coincidentally, the preference system that America adopted to help with immigration would prefer European countries and skilled workers but place a cap on the countries those countries that eventually expelled missionaries or started persecuting them.
Then in 1980, the Refugee Act opened up emergency immigration relief to those who were persecuted and then in 1986, the Simpson-Mazolli Act gave amnesty to over 2.7 million illegal immigrants. Also at the same time, there was a significant increase in the number of missions organizations throughout America. There were also some very large conferences on missions throughout the world. As a matter of fact, Time Magazine ran a cover article on missionaries in 1982.
These are just a few of the parallels that can be derived from the information. Honestly, I wish I had taken much more time in the research of this.
I wish I had taken this beyond just parallels.
There is no research out there at all about this topic. And it is something that perplexes me. With all of the missions organizations out there who make their livelihoods from ensuring the safety and growth of their missional communities, why would there not be any research done about this topic?
In all honesty, the research would be somewhat easy, although very time-consuming:
Contact every missions organization in the world (and there are thousands) and get their missionary information since their inception. Find out how many missionaries they had each year since they started, find out their low and high points on their organizational life cycle, and incorporate the number of missionaries that were commissioned and the number of churches that were planted versus the number of missionaries that either died or came out of the field as well as the number of churches that were closed/destroyed.
Consolidate the information from those organizations on a chart by year.
Overlay the highlights in American immigration reform.
That alone would be enough to give better data than simple parallels.
If you want to take it further, then reach out to the State Department for their take on the question.
Then reach out to countries that have traditionally been for and been against having missionaries in their countries. Speak to someone at the leadership level in those countries and get whatever information possible. This could be done through a simple questionnaire that would be standard for all countries contacted.
Plot their information on the combined yearly missionary chart to get key points along the timeline.
While that would get us enough for a published book on the topic, it would definitely not be enough to provide scientific evidence.
I would love to speak further with missions experts about this topic. I am sure that there is something there, I just can't officially put my finger on it. If anyone would like to work together on a project like this, please reach out to me at coffeeguy777@hotmail.com.
Isaiah 6:8 – And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?" Then I said, "Here am I! Send me."

Porto Torres település Olaszországban, Szardínia régióban, Sassari megyében.  .  A város Szardínia második legnagyobb kikötőjével rendelkezik, Olbia után. Asinara-öböl közepén helyezkedik el.

Nevének eredete

Porto Torres helyén eredetileg Colonia Iulia Turris Libisonis néven volt település. A "Colonia" név arra utal, hogy az ókori római telepesek alapították a helyet, A "Turris" feltehetően a nem messze, Monte d'Accoddi mellett épült nuraghe toronyra utalnak). A Nyugatrómai Birodalom bukása után a helyre "Turris" néven hivatkoztak. A középkorban a Logudorói uralom alatt Torres lett a neve, az aragón uralom alatt a katalán eredetű Lo Port – kikötő – nevet kapta. A Szárd Királyság idején a helyet Portotorre ("Tornyoskikötő") néven hívták.

1960-tól hívják a várost hivatalosan Porto Torresnek, ekkor lett városnak nyilvánítva a település.

DryZone Basement Systems has been keeping basements dry in neighborhoods just like yours since 2007. We can solve your wet basement problem no matter how large or small it may be.
We have more than enough experience and state-of-the-art equipment required to get the job done quickly, effectively, and permanently.
Call DryZone Basement Systems to give you a free basement waterproofing estimate in Massachusetts and Rhode Island. We can fix your basement permanently!
Basement Systems, Inc has been keeping basements dry in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom since 1987. By using their developed strategy from long years of research they have provided a long-term and effective solution to wet basement problems.
In Westerly, RI the basement of this condo was dealing with a large wall crack that was letting water seep onto the floor. For this crack we used our Flexispan system to seal the crack and prevent further leakages. The process includes cleaning out the crack and adding two layers of sealant, one that goes inside the crack one that creates a drainage channel over the crack. With the channel there, any water that could leak after the repair will get caught and stay off the basement floor. Then we put a layer of CleanSpace over the whole system for another layer of protection.
WaterGuard is the drainage system DryZone uses around the perimeter of the basement to stop water from entering through the floor/wall seam. This property in Westerly, RI needed the WaterGuard installed right where the basement stairs were! We came in and removed the lower stair treads to install the WaterGuard system and put them right back when we were done!
The owner of this home in West Kingston, RI contacted us for a free estimate stating water runs down from an open bulkhead, down the stairs and runs like a river in the basement, depending on the severity of the storm. We came in and installed TrenchDrain that directed that water to the SuperSump.
Leaking cracks in the basement are never good, so when this home in Wakefield, RI found the crack in the foundation wall was letting water in, they knew they had to do something! Our FlexiSpan wall system is a permanent solution for leaking wall cracks and is one you can trust. We use a flexible sealant deep inside the crack and cover that with a secondary drainage layer that will direct any water into the waterproofing system installed, in the slim chance the sealant doesn't hold up. On top of all that we add another layer of sealant to give the repair a finished and clean look!
This stone foundation was leaking every time it would rain heavily in Coventry, RI. A partial WaterGuard system was installed so the homeowner could monitor the problem. We installed CleanSpace on the walls, tucking behind the WaterGuard. CleanSpace is a vapor barrier that would direct any water seeping from the walls into the underground drainage system and into the SuperSump on the other side of the basement.
In this Barrington, RI basement, water was getting in and causing damage to all that precious storage space was only good for storing one thing, water! Once one of our design specialists got in the basement, he developed a plan so any water that could get in the basement would be sent right back out. With a SuperSump pump installed with a full perimeter of our Waterguard drainage system, this basement is ready to take on moisture. The Waterguard goes around the basement where the floor and wall meet and collects any water that makes its way in and brings it to the sump pump. Sitting below the surface and at the edge, the system is out of view and never an eyesore in any basement!
When this East Providence, RI home was spotting puddles in their basement, they knew something had to be done about it. One part of our design specialist's solution was Waterguard, a drainage system that will collect water that enters the basement and then send it to the TripleSafe sump pump that was also installed. That pump will then push the water out of the basement to help ensure the floor stays puddle free.
Check out these amazing before and after photos in Cumberland, RI!
CleanSpace Wall is a vapor barrier that gets tucked into the WaterGuard system. It directs any water from the walls into the drainage system. This Cumberland, RI basement has it going around the entire perimeter.
DryZone installed SilverGlo insulation in this customer's Cumberland, RI home. SilverGlo is a 2" foam insulation board that is infused with graphite to reflect heat and lower conductivity. It is also a radiant barrier so it will reflect heat back into the basement, saving on energy costs!
Some areas are more tricky to waterproof than others but we just have to get creative! We did just that in this Cumberland, RI basement.
For this Mendon, MA install, Waterguard was added around the basement to collect any water seeping in and leading that water to the sump system installed. The Waterguard sits below the floor's surface, with just a small bit visible if you look very closely. We jack up the floor for the install but then concrete over it for a nice and smooth finish. In this before and after, minus the wet new concrete, there isn't really much of a visible difference. The drain is not an eyesore and won't interfere or take up space in your basement.
Collin in Tiverton, RI had a little bit of water in his basement after it rained. There was no standing water but he rented this home out and the tenants used the area for storage. We came in to install a full perimeter system. The oil tank needed protection as well. The WaterGuard goes around the system and CleanSpace is installed on the floors to prevent damage in case of an oil spill.
Wall cracks are a friend to nobody's basement, like this crack in Swansea, MA that was allowing water to seep in and onto the floor, putting their belongings at risk for water damage. After a family member recommended us, the homeowner got in contact and wanted to get this crack sealed to put an end to the water coming through this crack. Along with using our FlexiSpan system to seal the crack, CleanSpace was used to add an extra layer and a SaniDry XP dehumidifier was installed to help combat the moisture in the basement. Now with a sealed crack and dry basement, the homeowner is happy to refer us to their friends and family with basement waterproofing needs.
This home in Fall River, MA needed a waterproofing solution for their basement and gave DryZone a call, and what a good call that was! We were able to check out the space and devise a plan that would whisk any water that made its way into the basement, out! Our Waterguard was installed around the perimeter of the basement to accompany the SuperSump sump pump. With this Waterguard drainage system, it will collect water that seeps in and the water will then flow through the system to the pump liner where the pump inside will push it out of the basement. What a great solution for this family!

Ryan and Tyler were great. They are friendly and worked well together. They were on time and represented the company well.
This involves "painting" the basement walls and floors with a waterproof coating of cement that's meant to seal out the moisture.
It applies directly to the concrete's surface with a brush or roller and is often applied when a homeowner is preparing for basement finishing.
This involves digging out the entire perimeter of the basement, installing a new drain, and possibly adding a waterproof coating on the walls.
This type of installation has been used for many decades—a drain of this type is generally installed when the home is built.
Installs on top of the basement floor with a drain that runs along the basement walls. Collects water and sends it to a sump pump system.
No jackhammering is required, and the installation is safe for a monolithic basement floor.
Installs underneath the basement floor, with a drain that runs along the basement walls. Collects water and sends it to a sump pump system.
The system is easy to service, and it can collect water leaking from the walls or windows as well.

Gain 1000 Instagram Followers Free: Love it or dislike it, Instagram is a significant force in marketing nowadays. It's not a social network for simply the trendy youngsters. Instagram has struck the mainstream, which's superb news for you. Like anything else going mainstream, can be found in late can feel difficult. Playing catch-up is not fun or very easy, however Instagram is one of those networks where you could get up-to-speed relatively quickly.
Knowing how to get followers on Instagram has never been easier since the network has so many tools and cliques and enjoyable little corners to discover.
You're resting there believing, "Seriously? That's your advice?" But hear me out. Hashtags are still a significant device for Instagram users. Yes, Instagram has an online reputation for vapid and also self-indulgent hashtags like #nofilter, #iwokeuplikethis, or #selfielove. But outside of the commonly mocked ones, there are tons that obtain utilized by individuals who are straight in your targeted group. As a matter of fact, some hashtags also have complete communities built around them and also virtually function like little discussion forums.
Finding the ideal ones isn't really almost as difficult it when was. Instagram has lastly put in an autocomplete feature that uses suggestions whenever you type in #. The valuable aspect of this is seeing the number of messages for each and every hashtag. You could ultimately see where users are spending their time.
Yet just tossing any kind of also remotely relevant hashtags into your messages might not always be the best way to get direct exposure. You have to use hashtags that are really important to your brand name or your specific audience.
Allow's say that you're trying to find fans to promote your new client's handmade guitar site, you can definitely make use of #music. Yet that's as well common. It has a vast reach, and also it has 181 million public blog posts as of this writing, but that's a lot of competition. Too much noise to obtain discovered. You might make use of #guitar, but it ~ 22 million blog posts, which is still a lot of noise. #guitars, on the other hand, has a somewhat a lot more convenient 1.9 million.
Nevertheless, like Search Engine Optimization, the additional you drill down, you will discover the great things that really transforms. Just utilizing the autosuggest, the tags #guitarshop, #customguitar, #customguitars, #handmadeguitar, and #handmadeguitars showed up anywhere in between 80k to 200k messages. This is where your target customers are, so the extra you make yourself a presence there, they even more people that will certainly follow you. It's most likely you can obtain a few of the top messages in a particular niche area.
Let me point out again the communities that spring up around hashtags. You wish to find where individuals socialize, like possibly #guitarplayers or #indierockalabama. These are the locations where tons of prospective followers gather together and also become buddies.
And since these typically aren't as loaded as #music, your articles will certainly stay on leading longer for even more people to see you, follow you, and also begin to like you.
The last two things you need to think about when making use of hashtags to fish for followers is how many to utilize and where you need to include them. Instagram enables as much as 30 hashtags each post, yet you shouldn't constantly make use of that numerous (it seems like spamming). Some study have shown that interaction commonly plateaus after 10 tags.
Including that several hashtags to your article could appear spammy, also. You could navigate that by putting 5 single dots on 5 single lines to make sure that the post collapses in individuals's feeds. Even far better compared to that, you can add a remark to your own picture that's just hashtags, and IG will certainly still index your picture with them. Yet it has to be the very first comment and because of exactly how the IG algorithms function, and also you should post that comment when magazine. If not, you could shed some juice as well as miss out on some potential fans.
Oh, and you can include hashtags to Stories, as well. So when you're documenting your day or doing something silly or fun, placed some hashtags in the text box. They're searchable! They could not look great in your story's structure, so you can shrink the hashtag box down and hide it behind a supersized emoji. Immediate expanded audience (or is that Insta increased audience?) who will certainly see the actual you as well as follow you-- since your story verifies that you're as well awesome not to comply with.
Instagram is a social network. So you really have to be social. It can be really simple to scream into the night, however if you really intend to find out ways to get fans on Instagram, you need to be a person they want to comply with.
-Like other individuals's images as well as remarks. That task shows up to your followers, and also it creates a round network. You like their blog post, they click on yours and also like it, someone else sees their task and likes you enough to comply with. This is a significant means to obtain fans these days, yet it implies you need to be energetic on IG, not just organizing messages and leaving. You cannot expect a zillion shares and retweets on IG like you can on other platforms. It takes job right here. Sorry!
-Comment as well as talk to individuals. When you obtain a discuss a blog post, reply to it! Beginning a conversation with people. Delve into a conversation on someone else's image. People truly do check out discussions in comments, and having followers doesn't mean a whole lot if they're not engaged. So engage them.
-Tag people in posts as well as remarks. Once more, the circular nature of IG shows up when you start tagging individuals in either your posts or your comments. Doing so reveals that you're engaged with the community, and as you make good friends and also start being familiar with them, you will either see or publish points that you want them to see. Check out this remarkable layout I finished with @elegantthemes' Divi!, as an example. Whether it's a brand name or a specific, occasionally they will see that example as well as share it on their web page (which can net a lots of followers as well as involvement for you).
People like sliders. You might like sliders. And also image galleries. I 'd wager $5 that you've Googled WordPress Instagram feed plugin or something similar, best? It's a photo-centric network, so obviously you wish to show off your quite, rather pictures.
Those do not tend to get you fans, though. They can, however they do not necessarily connect back to the original message in a very intuitive means. You can, nevertheless, embed your IG messages straight into your website's posts and also web pages. If done appropriately and put within some of your highest-traffic posts in lieu of generally organized photos, you could passively expand your Instagram followers quickly.
This should be carried out in a full desktop computer web browser, out mobile. So go to your Instagram web page (though it works from anyone's, practically), choose the photo you intend to embed, as well as increase it. Then click the ellipsis in the lower-right of the modal, hit embed, as well as it will certainly raise another modal where you can replicate the installed code.
Afterwards, it's simply a fast trip to the WordPress dashboard as well as the post/page editor. Ensure you're in the Text tab, not Visual. Paste in the installed code any place you intend to place it. (You could likewise make use of the Divi Code Module for this, also. Plus, you can embed a message right into a sidebar or footer with any widget that approves HTML.).
When that's done, you have actually given your visitors the ideal chance to follow and engage with you. They can click the Comply with button right there on the article, and they can also such as and also comment on it-- or just checked out the discussion that's currently there.
Installing your messages is an amazing technique to get fans on Instagram. But it shouldn't be utilized for each photo on your site. Each embed lots its very own exterior manuscripts and also additional CSS designing, which when made use of way too much, could slow down tons times. You additionally won't get the increase to SEO from pictures, alt message, and all that wonderful stuff.
But when made use of correctly, you'll really see a real increase to your Instagram followers.
Regrettably, the days of just tossing a few hashtags in and going about our organisation are behind us. With tales and also a surge in individuals, getting followers on Instagram ain't just what it made use of to be. You can't just yell into the evening as well as anticipate people to find you, a lot less follow you. You need to have an approach. As well as you basically currently need to understand how you can obtain fans on Instagram, or you're not going to get any. Or at least enough to make the system benefit you.
As well as currently you understand. You've got the approaches that are working for individuals, and also it's time to head out there, hashtag your heart out, and also make as numerous brand-new internet buddies as you can.

Under current law, the public utilities commission is directed to grant simplified regulatory treatment to water companies that serve fewer than 1,500 customers. The bill expands on this concept by deregulating water companies that are registered as nonprofits, so long as their rates, charges, and terms and conditions of service are just and reasonable.
