Pelion entered the 4th quarter 5 points down to 5A Chapin and then exploded for a 28 point 4th quarter to walk away from the Eagles 65-55. This raises the Panthers record to 13-9 and they will face county rival Swansea on Friday in the Panther Den. The boys' game will start at approximately 7:30.
The Panther had a quick start as they hit 5 three point shots in the first quarter en route to a 22-18 advantage. The game settled in as a defensive struggle in the 2nd and 3rd quarters as Jeremiah Green and Niko Austin controlled the defensive glass and Jacob Lucas drew a huge charge from Kelly of Chapin.
Malcolm Davis with 22, Ethan Davis with 14, Travon Alston with 12 and Austin added 11.


YoRHa 2B from NieR Automata takes center stage alongside soldiers, basketball players and Porsches in a new PS4 trailer from the Far East.
A few weeks ago, Sony Interactive Entertainment Taiwan released a live action teaser for PS4, promising the full version down the line.
Today that full trailer has been delivered, and it's pretty awesome. It shows soldiers likely to represent the Call of Duty series, basketball players probably portraying NBA 2K18, a couple of Porsches (with a PS4 2017 license plate) representing Gran Turismo and NieR: Automata's charming android protagonist YoRHa 2B as they go crazy in Taiwan's capital Taipei.
Not unsurprisingly, 2B takes center stage as the "We All Play!" slogan appears. It's the new slogan of PlayStation in the country, and it has been widely used at the recent "PS Carnival" event held in Taipei a few weeks ago.
All in all, it's definitely a cool video, celebrating gaming in a way that might be a little cheesy, but it's also certainly fun.
Besides, who doesn't have a weak spot for 2B?
You can enjoy the video below.
Sony Interactive Entertainment appears to be solidifying its grip on Asia, with prominent and successful appearances at several local shows, including Ani-Com & Games Hong Kong, ChinaJoy in Shanghai and Taipei Game Show. The console manufacturer even hosted a PlayStation Experience event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

Sancintya Mohini Simpson is an artist and researcher based in Brisbane, Australia. Her practice addresses the impact of colonisation on the historical and lived experiences of her family, and more broadly traces the movements and passages of indentured labourers from India to South Africa during the late 1800s and throughout the early 1900s. Her interdisciplinary practice draws on the archive to explore the complexities of migration, memory and trauma. Simpson's work moves between painting and video, to poetry and performance, developing narratives and rituals, which she uses to navigate family history and embed wider narratives surrounding the Indian indenture diaspora community.

I have a 7 foot playing area on my pool table, and am wondering if a 6' light is too much for the size of table. It is a hanging pool table light with 4 globes.
Never "too much" light on the table. Just hang it so that it is about equal to the average person's nose, so that it won't blind the players!
Though you cannot have too much light, you can have incorrect lighting for your size table. The standard size for a 7' table is a three globe 40"-44" light hung at ~32" from the bed to the bottom of the shade. This creates the best lighting atmosphere. The larger light could create shadowing on the table surface which can throw of perception.
Thanks for the post, this is good info. What do you think are the best types of bulbs for a pool table light? There are tons of types out there?
Would it be possible to illuminate the pool table with LEDs? They give a nice bright shine and are focused enough not to blind the players.

Q: Is it possible to have an optional output file in Snakemake? I'm writing a snakemake rule that will handle performing fastq trimming on either single or paired end sequencing data. If the data is paired end there should be two output files, if single end, there should be one.
The rule I have written works so far, however, I don't have it that the second pair of the trimmed is an output file. This means that snakemake is not checking to see if that file exists. It will output, but it's not checking, is it possible to have an optional output?
    input:
    #get the value in the fast1 column
        fastq_file = lambda wildcards: return_fastq(wildcards.fastq_name,wildcards.unit,first_pair = True)
    output:
        out_fastqc = config["fastp_trimmed_output_folder"] + "{unit}/{fastq_name}_trimmed.fastq.gz",
        fastpjson = config["fastp_trimmed_output_folder"] + "{unit}/{fastq_name}_fastp.json",
        fastphtml = config["fastp_trimmed_output_folder"] + "{unit}/{fastq_name}_fastp.html"
    params:
        fastp_parameters = return_parsed_extra_params(config['fastp_parameters']),
        fastq_file2 = lambda wildcards: return_fastq(wildcards.fastq_name,wildcards.unit,first_pair = False),
        out_fastqc2 = lambda wildcards: return_fastq2_name(wildcards.fastq_name,wildcards.unit),
        fastpjson = config["fastp_trimmed_output_folder"] + "{unit}/{fastq_name}_fastp.json",
        fastphtml = config["fastp_trimmed_output_folder"] + "{unit}/{fastq_name}_fastp.html"
    run:
        if config["end_type"] == "se":
            shell("{config[fastp_path]} -i {input.fastq_file} -o {output.out_fastqc} --json {output.fastpjson} --html {output.fastphtml} {params.fastp_parameters}")
        if config["end_type"] == "pe":
            shell("{config[fastp_path]} --in1 {input.fastq_file} --in2 {params.fastq_file2} --out1 {output.out_fastqc} --out2  {params.out_fastqc2} --json {output.fastpjson} --html {output.fastphtml} {params.fastp_parameters}")

The goal is that the out_fastqc2 would be includes as an optional output of the rule so that snakemake will check if it exists and appropiately give me an error if it doesn't.
If Snakemake doesn't allow optional outputs, I could just split into two rules, but that's not quite what I'd like.

A: Look at how does the expand function work. It is being called at the phase when Snakemake constructs the DAG of dependencies, and it uses the result of this function to construct the list of files for the output section.
I would suggest you to try the same: construct the list that would be either empty or not - depends on the condition.
This solution would work only if you know if you need the out_fastqc2 in advance (however defining 2 rules with priorities does the same). If you get the information about the need of out_fastqc2 only while running the rule, that is completely different case where you need checkpoints.
Below is the code that illustrates my approach: out_fastqc2 becomes a string that describes the file (if the end_type is configured to "pe"), otherwise is becomes an empty list that doesn't change the list of outputs.
output:
    out_fastqc = config["fastp_trimmed_output_folder"] + "{unit}/{fastq_name}_trimmed.fastq.gz",
    out_fastqc2 = lambda wildcards: return_fastq2_name(wildcards.fastq_name,wildcards.unit) if config["end_type"] == "pe" else []

A: Since the choice between paired-end and single-end seems to be fixed in the configuration, you may try to define the rule in two ways depending on the configuration:
if config["end_type"] == "se":
    rule do_fastp:
        input:
        #get the value in the fast1 column
            fastq_file = lambda wildcards: return_fastq(wildcards.fastq_name, wildcards.unit, first_pair = True)
        output:
            out_fastqc = config["fastp_trimmed_output_folder"] + "{unit}/{fastq_name}_trimmed.fastq.gz",
            fastpjson = config["fastp_trimmed_output_folder"] + "{unit}/{fastq_name}_fastp.json",
            fastphtml = config["fastp_trimmed_output_folder"] + "{unit}/{fastq_name}_fastp.html"
        params:
            fastp_parameters = return_parsed_extra_params(config['fastp_parameters']),
        shell:
            """
            {config[fastp_path]} -i {input.fastq_file} -o {output.out_fastqc} \\
                --json {output.fastpjson} --html {output.fastphtml} \\
                {params.fastp_parameters}
            """
if config["end_type"] == "pe":
    rule do_fastp:
        input:
        #get the value in the fast1 column
            fastq_file1 = lambda wildcards: return_fastq(wildcards.fastq_name, wildcards.unit, first_pair = True),
            fastq_file2 = lambda wildcards: return_fastq(wildcards.fastq_name, wildcards.unit, first_pair = False)
        output:
            out_fastqc1 = config["fastp_trimmed_output_folder"] + "{unit}/{fastq_name}_trimmed_1.fastq.gz",
            out_fastqc2 = config["fastp_trimmed_output_folder"] + "{unit}/{fastq_name}_trimmed_2.fastq.gz",

Majestix (franska: Abraracourcix) är byhövding i serierna om Asterix, skapad av René Goscinny och Albert Uderzo. Sedan det första albumet har han – mer eller mindre framgångsrikt – försökt att agera sammanhållande kraft i den galliska byn.

Beskrivning
Hans fru heter Bonemine. Majestix har liksom alla andra galler i albumen mustasch, och han har också rödlätt flätat hår och bär hjälm. Hans tröja är grön och han är tämligen klotrund om magen, om än inte lika välväxt som Obelix. En diet på vin och vildsvin har lett till att han åtminstone en gång fått allvarliga problem med sin lever.

Majestix har ofta en central roll i äventyren, som till exempel i Asterix och tvekampen. För att framhäva sin upphöjda ställning i byn, låter han ofta transportera sig själv buren på sin sköld av två bärare, som emellertid sällan lyckas framföra sin hövding varken säkert eller effektivt. Skölden har han fått överta efter Vercingetorix

Majestix är endast rädd för en sak – att himlen skall falla ned över hans huvud. Men som han alltid säger, "varför oroa sig för morgondagen"?

One of the most wondrous works of nature, the transformation of caterpillar to butterfly has inspired many through history. Inspiring us with it's own loveliness, a vintage lucite butterfly brooch (from the 1940s), it's jeweled wings spread proudly, is the perfect match for the subtle sparkle of faceted gray and clear crystals it adorns. A glass jeweled silvered copper clasp is at the back of this 19.5" style that will transform any look with a flash of glamour.


I use an ext4 filesystem for a couple large volumes on my virtual machines. I know that btrfs and ZFS are the new cool kids in town for filesystems, but when I'm already running RAID and LVM on the VM server underneath the guest, these newer filesystems with their fancy features don't add a lot of value for me, so a good, simple, traditional, reliable filesystem is just what I want.
There's actually a bit of confusion and misinformation online about using ext4 filesystems with RHEL/CentOS (EL) 5 & 6 systems, so just wanted to clarify some things for people.
On an EL 5 system, the version of e2fsprogs is too old and doesn't support ext4. Therefore there is an additional package called "e4fsprogs" which is actually just a newer version of e2fsprogs that provides renamed tools such as "resize4fs". This tends to get confusing for users who then try to find these tools on EL 6 or other distributions, so it's important to be aware that it's a non-standard thing. Why they didn't just upgrade the tools/backport the ext4 support is a bit weird to me, especially considering the fact these tools are extremely backwards compatible and should meet even Red Hat's API compatibility requirements, but it-is-what-it-is sadly.
On an EL 6 system, the version of e2fsprogs is modern enough to support ext4, which means you need to use the normal "resize2fs" command to do an ext4 filesystem resize (as per the docs). Generally this works fine, but I think I may have found a bug with the stock EL 6 kernel and e2fsprog tools.
One of my filesystems almost reached 100% full, so I expanded the underlying block volume and then issued an offline e2fsck -f /dev/volume & resize2fs /dev/volume which completed as normal without error, however it left the filesystem size unchanged. Repeated checks and resize attempts made no difference. The block volume correctly reported it's new size, so it wasn't a case of the kernel not having seen the changed size.
However by mounting the ext4 filesystem and doing an online resize, the resize works correctly, although quite slowly, as the online resize seems to trickle-resize the disk, gradually increasing it's size until finally complete.
This inability to resize offline is not something I've come across before, so may be a rare bug trigged by the full size of the filesystem that could well be fixed in newer kernels/e2fsprog packages, but figured I'd mention it for any other poor sysadmins scratching their heads over a similar issue.
Finally, be aware that you need to use either no partition table, or GPT if you want file systems over 2TB and also that the e2fsprogs package shipped with EL 6 has a 16TB limit, so you'll have to upgrade the package manually if you need more than that.

Q: $\int_{\mathbb{R}} \frac{1}{x^2+y^2}dy$ with $x\neq 0$ How would one compute this integral : $\int_{\mathbb{R}} \frac{1}{x^2+y^2}dy$ when $x \neq 0$ ?

A: We know that
$$\int_{\mathbb{R}}\dfrac{1}{1+y^2}=\pi$$
since $\arctan'(y)=\dfrac{1}{1+y^2}$. Use a relevant change of variables to compute your integral.

Texas federal judge rules against required coverage of HIV drug
A federal judge ruled Wednesday that required coverage of an HIV prevention drug under the Affordable Care Act violates a Texas employer's religious beliefs and undercut the broader system that determines which preventive drugs are covered in the U.S.
The ruling was handed down by Fort Worth-based U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor, who ruled in 2018 that the entire ACA is invalid. The U.S. Supreme Court ultimately overturned that decision.
O'Connor's latest ruling targets a mandate under the law that requires employers to cover the HIV prevention treatment known as PrEP, which is a pill taken daily to prevent infection.
The challenge was brought by a company owned by Steven Hotze, a conservative activist in Texas who is described in the lawsuit as operating Braidwood Management "according to Christian principles and teaching." It was filed by an architect of the Texas abortion law that was the nation's strictest before the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade earlier in June.

The impact of the ruling beyond the plaintiffs was not immediately clear. But opponents condemned the decision as a threat to patients far beyond Texas.
"Defendants do not show a compelling interest in forcing private, religious corporations to cover PrEP drugs with no cost-sharing and no religious exemptions," O'Connor wrote in his ruling.
He also ruled that a federal task force that recommends coverage of preventive treatments, which is made up of volunteer members, violates the appointment clause of the U.S. Constitution.
The Biden administration is likely to appeal. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services did not immediately respond a requests for comment.

Q: Scala implicit for Option containing Map I am trying to write the following implicit:
implicit class ExtractOrElse[K, V](o: Option[Map[K, V]]) {
  def extractOrElse(key: K)(f: => V): V = { if (o.isDefined) o.get(key) else f }
}

Which I want to use in this way:
normalizationContexts.extractOrElse(shardId)(defaultNormalizationContext)

to avoid a clunkier syntax (normalizationContexts is an Option[Map[String, NormzalitionContext]]).
Also, let me add that it is intentional that there is only one default value: it will be used if the Option isEmpty, but if the Option isDefined, then the behavior of the Map is not changed, and it will throw an exception if the key is not found - so the default value won't be used in that case, and this is all intentional.
However, I get an error when passing in None in unit tests:
assertEquals(None.extractOrElse('a')(0), 0)

results in:
Error:(165, 37) type mismatch;
 found   : Char('a')
 required: K
  assertEquals(None.extractOrElse('a')(0), 0)

I realize that None is not parametric, as it is defined as:
case object None extends Option[Nothing] {
  def isEmpty = true
  def get = throw new NoSuchElementException("None.get")

What is the best way to make this work?

A: Instead of None.extractOrElse(...), try Option.empty[Map[Char, Int]].extractOrElse(...).
If you always use the same types for your test cases, you could also create a type alias in the specs class in order to reduce the clutter:
type OpMap = Option[Map[Char, Int]]
// ...
assertEquals(Option.empty[OpMap].extractOrElse('a')(0), 0)

Just in case, you can use flatMap and getOrElse to achieve the same thing without writing a new method:
val n = Option.empty[Map[String, Int]]
val s = Some(Map("x" → 1, "y" → 2))

n.flatMap(_.get("x")).getOrElse(3)  // 3
s.flatMap(_.get("x")).getOrElse(3)  // 1
s.flatMap(_.get("z")).getOrElse(3)  // 3

A: The type system doesn't have enough information about the types K and V.  There is no way to know what the type of A would be in the case where your None was Some[A].
When I create an example with explicit types, the code works as expected:
// Like this
val e = new ExtractOrElse(Option.empty[Map[Char, Int]])
e.extractOrElse('a')(0) // Equals 0

// Or like this
val e = new ExtractOrElse[Char, Int](None)
println(e.extractOrElse('a')(0))

// Or like this
val m: Option[Map[Char, Int]] = None
val e = new ExtractOrElse(m)
println(e.extractOrElse('a')(0))

Rosario Dawson Gushes Over Boyfriend Cory Booker: He's 'Brilliant and Loving'

By RADIO.COM
There's a new leading lady in Cory Booker's life.
Actress Rosario Dawson has confirmed she's dating the 49-year-old New Jersey senator.
The Rent star went public with the romance news after being confronted by a reporter while making her way through Regan National Airport in Washington, DC on Thursday.
When asked if the rumors that she and the 2020 presidential hopeful were an item, the 39-year-old didn't hesitate and answered: "Yes, very much so."
She added: "He's a wonderful human being. It's great to spend time together when we can."
But Dawson played it a little more coy when pressed if an engagement was in her near future.
"I have no idea," she told TMZ. "I'm just grateful to be to be with someone that I respect and love and admire so much who is so brilliant and kind and caring and loving."

Prior to the confirmation of their dating status, the pair were photographed together backstage at a performance of Broadway's Dear Evan Hansen on in January.
Although Booker has yet to officially comment on the relationship news, last month he revealed he was "dating somebody who was really special" when asked if his bachelor status could effect his White House dreams.
Elected to the U.S. Senate in 2013, Booker announced his campaign for Democratic nomination for President on February 1st.
While neither Booker nor Dawson has ever been married, the actress adopted a 12-year-old daughter, Lola, in 2014.

Nedre Leirfoss power plant is located on the Nidelven River in Trondheim Municipality in Sør-Trøndelag County.
The plant uses a height of fall of 27 metres and is a river power plant. The installed capacity is 2.4 MW.
The power plant was commissioned in 1910 with two generating units. In 1921, 1943 and 1958, new generating units were added. There were five installed in total, although plans called for six.
The power plant was partially replaced by Leirfossene power plant in 2008. However, to exploit the minimum water discharge of 10 cubic metres per second between Øvre and Nedre Leirfoss, a new generating unit with a vertical Francis turbine was installed in 2014. Only two of the original generating units remain in the plant.
Nedre Leirfoss power plant is now designated as a special preservation area by Trondheim Municipality under the Planning and Building Act of 1985.
Plans for the plant were originally drawn by architect Axel Guldahl and the plant has a distinctive architecture. The building is rectangular with rounded corners and has clear allusions to a medieval castle with a cornice rising above the flat roof. The building is also equipped with "gun ports" and tower-like constructions on each corner. The power plant building is constructed of concrete and faced with stone.

Apex Legends is clearly the new craze when it comes to video games – especially competitive ones – and which everyone wants to play. As you may have noticed, besides the rampage that is taking place in each match, you also have a level-based progression system.
Even though it may look useless at a glance, leveling up comes with some nice rewards that you definitely want to get your hands on. First of all, the higher the level, the fancier the border around your level status is.
Then, you also get 600 Legend Tokens with each level up. These are used to buy new legends and, given the fact that there are around 10 new rumored legends so far – with more yet to come – and that each of them costs around 13,000 Legend Tokens to unlock, you definitely want to stack up on those so that you are always ready for a new Legend release.
Lastly, every couple of levels you get an Apex Pack which you can open for some sweet loot – you may get a skin for infamous Mozambique, but you also have chances of receiving the Wraith Heirloom Knife, skin, and banner pose.
Obviously, all of this boils down to how fast you can level up in Apex Legends. So, here are five tips to help you level up faster and gain more XP in the game that has taken the gaming world by storm!
As you know, Apex Legends is a squad-based battle-royale game. You cannot play this game solo –unless you are Shroud or dizzy. Every time you click that Play button you are matched with two random teammates.
However, as the game informs you, you do receive more XP when playing with your friends. Simply add them on your friends' list via Origin and play with them – you'll get 5% survival time bonus and if you manage to finish in the top three, 300 XP.
You don't have to rush a game of Apex Legends thinking that more kills equal more XP. This is a strategy that will work against you!
If you want more XP and, therefore, level up faster, you will have to survive as much as possible in a single round. You get around 180 XP per minute survived. If you check the end-game screen for your XP earned in each category, you will notice that most of the times, you gain more XP per time survived rather than per damage or kills.
Have the Leader and the Champion under Your Sights!
The kill leader and the champion are worth quite a lot of XP. You'll already know which the champion squad is before the game begins and the kill leader will be announced as soon as they start making a couple of kills.
Taking down the kill leader will net you 50 XP – it might seem a little, but keep in mind that you can take out different kill leaders in the same game. On the other hand, taking down the champion squad will reward you with 500 bonus XP.
Naturally, you don't want to put all of your points in survivability and none in skill. Each kill will get you 50 XP – take down 5 enemies and you get 250 XP. If you are good at the game and manage to take down 10 enemies, you will get as much XP as you would if you win the game.
In terms of damage, the XP is awarded by dividing the total damage dealt by 4. So, once you have your crosshair on an enemy, just keep on shooting until you take them down. A 1000 damage match, for example, will net you 250 XP.
Even though boosting is usually frowned upon, you should not feel bad for relying on such things. First of all, keep in mind that this is a team game – someone you play with can't win you the game if you don't help them at all.
Moreover, by playing with one of the professionals we have on R3G, you will learn the tricks and strategies they use in gunfights and, eventually, get better at the game as well.
If you rely on the R3G boosting services, you will get more wins, kills, as well as damage done in your Apex Legends games. This only means one thing – more XP and more level-ups for you in a short period of time.
So, if you want to be crowned the Apex Champion in you Apex Legends matches, make sure to check the R3G marketplace. Just a couple of clicks and you will receive a friend invite from a professional Apex Legend player which will help you level up faster, gain more XP, and win more games!


In recent years, Pinterest has evolved considerably as a trendy social network, but also as a powerful visual search engine. As with all other search engines, you can implement an optimization strategy, improving the visibility of your company on the web and driving traffic directly to your website (starting right from Pinterest).
You may hold the belief that Pinterest is a platform (only for women) to share their latest recipe or DIY idea?
Indeed, a good percentage of users on Pinterest are women (about 60%).
Pinterest has turned out to be an important social media in which users of both genders, navigate to discover new brands and products and most of them are professionals such as architects, interior designers, lighting designers and the like.
In the same way, Pinterest is useful for brands that want to make their products known through videos and photos.
Pinterest is a highly visual platform and stands out for this as one of the best social channels to carry out visual content marketing. Therefore, brands that know how to optimize their content for Pinterest are in a better position to take advantage of the platform's benefits and, as a result, can increase their visibility.
With over 200 million users searching for and publishing new content based on their interests, Pinterest is probably a platform that is still undervalued in terms of its ability to drive to your website.
For this reason, optimizing your bulletin boards on Pinterest becomes essential, and I want to help you do that.
Currently, Pinterest is one of the biggest quality traffic drivers (in the social network area) to websites in the design and furniture sector.
But traffic is not the only reason to use Pinterest. This platform is effective for the entire business sales process.
Pinterest is also a huge opportunity to defeat the competition, as many online businesses use Pinterest underestimating it, or not using it consistently or correctly.
With a good SEO optimization on Pinterest your company / brand can get a virtually unlimited amount of free traffic on your website.
Pinterest offers ample space for creativity and storytelling and can be considered as a "discovery" platform where the Pinner can find inspiration and new ideas.
Like other search engines, Pinterest has its own algorithm called "Smart Feed". Specifying that with the word "Feed" on Pinterest means the homepage, we can say that this algorithm helps Pinterest to show you on the homepage the Pin most relevant to your search.
So it is the algorithm "Smart Feed" that determines the type of Pin that appears to the user based on a series of criteria, such as the quality of the domain, the quality of the Pinner and the Pinner and the choice of the keywords.
Pinterest is a very powerful tool to drive traffic and generate contacts on your website. From some case studies that I follow in the design and furnishing sector, Pinterest was the second social network after Facebook for traffic quality. Not to mention a better return on investment compared to the time and money spent on Facebook and Instagram.
Create an information profile: Provide all relevant information about your company and products to encourage your audience to visit your website and learn more.
Build well-organized boards: Make sure that your followers can easily find the specific content they need by neatly grouping thematic board pins.
Create engaging pins: Integrate to your Pins representative images of the product and interesting descriptions to effectively provide the information you want to make known to your audience and to direct them to your web page.
Consider that high quality content needs to be optimized to get the most visibility possible on the platform.
Better SEO optimization on Pinterest means more views, more interaction, more engagement, more traffic, more contacts and potentially more sales.
So, are you looking for ways to improve your Pinterest strategy?
To generate leads, conversions and sales from Pinterest, like and Repin are not enough, you also have to be able to encourage your audience to take action.
Do not worry, it's not as complex as it sounds.
Here are some useful strategies to drive more traffic from Pinterest to your website pages by optimizing your profile, board, pin and ads.
First of all, all you have to do is create an interesting profile that captures the attention of your audience.
So, if you have not already done so, sign up for Pinterest with your business account.
Custom Name: First set the brand name in full instead of a personal name on the company account. During registration, if you click on "Continue with Facebook", make sure you are connected to the company's Facebook page, otherwise Pinterest will refer to your personal Facebook account. Or directly connected with your company email and select the main category you belong to.
Company logo as a profile image: it is advisable to use the logo of the brand as an image of the Pinterest profile, so as to be more recognizable to users and be credible as an official account.
Access to Rich Pin: This is a useful tool to further promote your Pin and attract traffic to your website. Rich Pins provide more contextual information about the Pin object. There are several Rich Pins that you can use depending on the type of content you want to post.
Access to Sponsored Pin and Affordable Pin: Sponsored Pins are ads displayed at the top of searches with the goal of increasing the ability to be seen by users. Affordable Pins, on the other hand, allow users to purchase directly on Pinterest.
Access to Pinterest Analytics: thanks to this tool you can monitor the progress of each of your Pin and evaluate its effectiveness, so you can better plan your marketing strategy.
These features will play a key role in driving Pinterest traffic to your company's website.
• Make sure the name of your company is present in the account name and in the username.
• When you create your profile, try to highlight as much relevant information as possible to help users get to know you better. Write a detailed description of everything your brand takes care of, explaining why your company is unique and why users should choose your products rather than others.
• In the settings, be sure to enter all the necessary information such as business type, country, location, website.
• Check your website in the settings. A verified profile helps increase your domain on Pinterest and will prioritize your Pin between search results.
• Make sure that your profile is not set to "private" in the settings, but is therefore accessible to search engines.
• Make your Pinterest profile more visible by adding relevant keywords. To do this, consider both the terms that people use to search for your business as a whole, and the specific ones used to search for your products.
All this will help encourage more visitors to your website.
The fastest way to drive Pinterest traffic to your website is to add the URL to your profile. If you have made a good description of your brand among the business profile information, your audience will be more curious and want to know more about your business, so it is very likely that they will click to visit your website.
Do not forget to check the URL of your website. This will give users the credibility of your site and give you access to additional analytical tools, which can estimate the traffic that arrives at the website from Pinterest.
Add the Pinterest "Follow" button to your website, as well as the "Save" button to stimulate visitors to share what they like on your website directly on their own boards.
Well-organized boards on the business profile will help you attract users to your Pin and drive Pinterest traffic to your site.
First of all, organize your boards by categories: many users start the search by browsing through the categories.
Organize boards in both general and specific topics, this will help your followers find the Pins they want. The general boards cover all the main product categories present on your website; at the same time you can also have boards dedicated to products or even better – a group of specific products and services.
How to optimize the boards?
Try to think about what terms your users could use to search for your brand or products and use them to name boards and check them out.
For example, if your company deals with bathroom furniture, the key words you could use as board titles are "bathroom ideas for small bathrooms" (for example, if your products fit small bathrooms), or on products new "bathroom ideas for 2018".
Turning to the descriptions it becomes important to write for each board a rich content of keywords related to the content of the Pin.
Do not leave white space! You have 500 characters to use for your best keywords. You can also simply list all the keywords separated by commas, or you can write them in a short paragraph.
Furthermore, it is essential that you set the right number of boards for your account.
It is useless to create many different boards if you don't bother to optimize them: try to create as many as you can then keep them active, publishing regular content.
An active board has a high chance of appearing in search results. The exact number of boards depends on the content you can supply, but 10-20 board is a good starting point.
Even the boards dedicated to specific seasons or holidays are useful for directing Pinterest traffic to your website.
The advice is to set up your bulletin board about a month before the occasion. In this way you will have enough time to fill it with interesting content and promote it to your followers. As the season approaches, place the bulletin board higher and higher on the list to give it greater visibility.
Do not eliminate the bulletin board as the season goes by: each Pin that has worked well during the season will still be displayed in the search results during the other seasons.
This will allow you to attract residual traffic. Maybe they will be useful for the next year.
As with all the other search engines, you will need to optimize your Pin to appear in search results. If you publish Pin randomly, without a specific strategy, you probably will not get the results you expect.
Your Pin will ultimately be the elements that drive the most traffic to the website.
Pinterest, being a visual search engine, focuses mainly on images. But this is not enough: for an effective SEO strategy it is important to make descriptions for each Pin. Do not be afraid to include details, as this will help Pinterest identify your images for relevant searches.
Use images that best represent your brand: Having the right image to use helps to generate involvement. Even putting multiple products into one image can be a good tactic: adding more objects increases the level of potential user involvement and, as a result, this increases the likelihood that they will click on the links to learn more. Sometimes images containing multiple objects can be confusing: to avoid this, try to collect and arrange the items to be photographed in an orderly manner. Many users do not pay attention to the optimization of the image name: they often do not spend that little time necessary to rename the photo with significant keywords, such as "ideas-small-bathroom", but leave the image named "IMG1234.jpg".
Take the dimensions into consideration: Pinterest recommends a ratio between 1.3: 5 and 2: 3 (width and height). The minimum image size is 600 Pixels. Make tall images, so that they stay longer on the bulletin board as people scroll.
Write a description for each Pin: Explain to your followers how the product you offer will meet their needs, how they can use it, or highlight an interesting feature of the product that they would otherwise not know. You can include up to 500 characters, which can be viewed in full when a user click on your Pin to view more. However, it is not necessary to write 500 characters. Generally a couple of sentences of about 100 characters in total are sufficient to provide some good information.
Write a short and concise title for each post: An important aim of the title is to be convincing and encourage users to read more.
Take care of the graphics of your Pin: You can have the most beautiful post in the world, but if the graphics of your Pin show up badly you will not get what you expect from Pinterest.
Do Keyword Research: In addition, you should also add relevant keywords to the descriptions of your Pins. The keywords you choose should be specific to each Pin. Users use keywords to find the content they want. Once you have focused your blog on an SEO content strategy and have already identified the keywords that your audience is looking for to find you, include them in your descriptions.
Avoid inserting too many hashtags: If your goal is to increase the visibility of your brand and direct Pinterest users to your website, then pay attention to how you use hashtags: these on Pinterest are more similar to a categorical element that you can add to your descriptions to help the Pinners find related content. Hashtags lead to search results based on the specific keywords you use. When you include a hashtag in the description, users can click on it to find the content related to that word. In this way, however, hashtags can remove your Pinners from your content and take them to similar Pins but belonging to other users or brand. Just because you use a hashtag, this does not mean that Pinterest will index it.
How many hashtags to use? Do not use too many hashtags as you would on Instagram: Pinterest has announced that if you add your Pin with too many hashtags, the value of your Pin in search results could even lower. At most, the use of 4 hashtags for a Pin is recommended.
If you use hashtags, make them unique. To understand which words you should use, look at your competitors and influencers that inspire you.
Insert relevant videos in your Pin: Videos added to Pins are a great way for a greater variety of content. In this way you will be able to show more information that only with the images you would not be able to do. An effective way to use video to drive Pinterest traffic is to add a video teaser and link to the complete video inserted in your website. Remember, don't limit yourself to the home page, but link directly to the specific page about the Pin. This will encourage the public to stay on the site.
Once you have set up your Pins, give them an initial boost using like and Repin. Thus, users will be more interested in reading your Pins if they see that they often come back. You can also direct traffic by commenting on other relevant Pins and leaving a direct link to your website.
A picture says a thousand words! This is why you should use intriguing photographs in the Pin that you create to promote your content.
The right images can capture the attention of users and, out of curiosity, it is more than likely that you will entice them to click on your website to learn the rest of the story.
Almost all the pins are images and to distinguish you from others you will have to choose images that are much more than just graphic representations or photos of products, and be as creative as possible.
A Pin which communicates that there is an interesting story behind the image will cause the visitor to pause. The more time they spend observing your images, the more likely they are to click on your website link.
If you know anything about SEO, you will know that the only way for a search engine to know what the content is about is to add keywords. Just like it happens on Google, the search results of Pinterest depend on the searched keywords.
So, how do you use keywords to show Pinterest that your content is relevant?
Carry out a keyword search on Pinterest. When it comes to optimizing your SEO strategy pins, you will probably wonder if there is a Pinterest keyword tool to use.
Currently, the best way to search for keywords for Pinterest is right on Pinterest. How? When you type a search query on Pinterest, you will notice that you will automatically be prompted with keywords, as it happens on Google: these suggestions refer to the most frequent search phrases.
After typing, a set of additional keywords will be displayed below the search bar.
As well as Google's SEO, Pinterest's SEO is also based on long tail keywords (ie keywords consisting of multiple terms rather than single word keywords). With generic keywords the competition is always wider, so the advice is to focus on long tail keywords to get more targeted results.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to display the exact number of keyword searches on Pinterest. But, if you are interested, you can look at the categories of Pinterest and learn more about the topics to see how many people have indicated they are interested in the topic. This will give you an idea of how popular a particular keyword is.
Once you have identified the appropriate keywords and, above all, once you understand how to use them, you will already be one step ahead of the competition!
The most important part of each description is the inclusion of an appropriate call-to-action that directs users to the attached link. Let people who might be interested know that they can find out more about your brand by visiting your website and not just the Pinterest profile.
To integrate this approach to your marketing on Pinterest, create an image that combines a clear CTA (call to action) with a button.
One thing that makes users jump from a Pin to a website is curiosity.
There are some elements that can be used to intrigue users through your Pin, such as intriguing titles, descriptions or text overlays on the image of your Pin.
Regardless of whether you use one or all three options, use them to make a promise of information that will enhance the experience of users viewing your Pin.
People will click on your Pin with the expectation that you will provide more information on the page to which your Pin connects.
5. Give your audience a sense of urgency!
People are attracted by those offers that create a sense of urgency, such as offers that expire in a short time, limited edition products or products which are about to run out.
The sense of urgency creates the so-called "Fear of Missing out" (FOMO) or the fear of being too late.
The FOMO is what leads people to take the opportunity to use a discount, knowing that the offer will expire quickly, and is the reason why they click and buy something in a short time because it is almost running out. So you can play on that fear but telling your audience that they will lose our on something if they do not click and act immediately.
In 2018, the most obvious changes were the introduction of hashtags, board sections, visual search with Lens and the removal of likes and Repin counts.
With all these changes, it is certainly not easy to predict with any certainty what direction SEO will take in 2019.
The answer is simple. Do what every search engine wants you to do: concentrate on creating high quality content for your readers!
In this guide I have shown you how to use Pinterest SEO to increase the traffic of your website. In addition, I have explained a little about the new Smart Feed algorithm and given you some suggestions for how to optimize your Pins and how they are displayed.
Now it's your turn! Go to your Pinterest account and fill in your biography, boards and pins with relevant keywords so your content will show up in search results. Try to put the recommendations I have given you into practice and monitor your results.
Now you know how to make your Pins appear on Pinterest!
However, there are still some questions that are often asked about Pinterest, especially when it comes to a good SEO strategy.
1. Should I keep or delete the poorly performing Pins?
According to some studies, deleting Pins with only a few reshares can increase the quality of the Pinterest account.
On the other hand, eliminating pins that today are poorly performing, but which have previously remained viral for months or even years, could make you lose thousands of visitors.
So it all depends on where you are willing to invest your time: do you want to spend time eliminating Pins or creating new content?
2. When you Repin the contents of other users should you change the description?
There are many bloggers and website owners who do not know much about Pinterest. As a result, there are many fantastic and interesting articles that are however "disassembled" by poor and keyword-free descriptions.
Writing a good description for each Pin certainly takes time, but for a blogger or a brand that wants to invest on Pinterest is very important and will lead to results. In fact, a good description of both the Pin and the Repin leads to an improvement in the quality of your Pins and leads to getting more Repins. Try it yourself and monitor your results, so you can evaluate them compared to the time invested.
3. Should I use or not use hashtags?
Until recently, Pinterest was an "anti-hashtag" platform. Today, hashtags are accepted, but Pinterest still recommends not using more than 20 per pin.
Hashtags are clickable and searchable, but unlike other Pinterest content, search results based on hashtags show the pins in chronological order, rather than starting from the best.
4. How can you ensure that the optimized descriptions are used by users when they share your blog posts?
If you set up your blog on WordPress, you can use a WordPress plug-in such as Social Warfare to make sure that the description and image in your blog post are used by users when they download the post.
Alternatively, if you do not use a plug-in, add the description to the alt text of the image.
5. How much time is needed to get a large amount of traffic to your website?
Tendency in the first 6-8 months traffic growth is very slow, but this is normal: do not lose heart too soon and continue to publish Pins with constancy and strategy to achieve results that you will see increase week after week.
On Pinterest, the involvement of your audience really makes a big difference, so make them feel part of your business and encourage them to share more of your content.
Pinterest needs more time to get results than what happens with Facebook or Instagram. Be patient and follow the Pinterest marketing strategy step by step to see your business take off on Pinterest.
The amount of traffic that will arrive to your website will surprise you!
6. Is it important to add a text superimposed on the image of a Pin?
Sometimes text over an image detracts from the image itself. But try to look from the user's perspective: if the photo is confusing, the text can help to tell the story behind the image and draw attention.
Generally, the Pin with a beautiful image and some text are the pins which perform the best, as they intrigue the user and make them linger on your profile, increasing the likelihood of visiting the website.
In addition, pay attention to color and graphics: these are elements that help attract the attention of users!
Pinterest is one of the best sources of traffic for many websites and some online brands confirm this. This is why many companies want to find out more about how Pinterest works.
If you want to get real growth and you're seeing Pinterest as a possible solution, you have to commit yourself to designing Pins that make people want to click!
With the help of the tips discussed in this article, you can optimize your Pins for clicks and increase traffic on your website.

The founders had considered calling their start-up Yikes, as in, "Yikes, that's fast!" But then they noticed that by changing the K to a P, their name could contain IP, reminding us that they offer Internet Protocol services.
On the phone with co-founder Ron Young last week, I asked if the ES in Yipes stood for Ethernet Service.
Yipes is now in nine major cities, offering high-speed and low-delay Internet, MAN (metropolitan-area network), and WAN (wide-area network) access services.
The company offers twice the bandwidth at 80 percent of the price of old telephony-oriented services based on ATM over SONet (Synchronous Optical Network).
In its first year, Yipes Communications Inc. (www.yipes.com) has already raised $97 million in its first two rounds of venture capital financing and is in the process of rapidly adding cities and services.
These require expensive, speed-specific CSU/DSUs (channel service units/data service units) connecting to ATM switches interconnected regionally and nationally using SONet.
Instead, Yipes runs fiber directly into one of its IP routers in your building -- up to 70 kilometers without repeaters. You get Ethernet-to-Ethernet or Ethernet-to-Internet service from 1Mbps and up to GigE (1Gbps Ethernet).
If you see you need a few more Mbps later that same day, call and get it dialed in to your local Yipes megapop.
And Young says they are working on direct Web access to Yipes service parameters.
Young explains Yipes' disruptive advantages by contrasting the costs of IP/GigE/ DWDM vs. ATM/SONet.
He projects port costs per 100Mbps dropping from $3,500 in 1997 to under $1,000 in 2000, and headed near $500 by 2004.
Ethernet ports, he says, are already 25 percent the price of ATM ports and falling.
Yipes is not an equipment vendor. Young touts the hip vendors upon whom his service is currently based -- such as Extreme for customer-premises routers ("megapops") and Juniper network-premises routers ("gigapops").
He touts the hip service suppliers with whom he is in partnership -- such as Qwest and Level3.
And he promises to switch vendors to be sure Yipes customers get rapidly improving services.
Who might Yipes' customers be?
They are businesses with 20-2,000 users on an Ethernet; businesses with multiple Ethernets; ASPs (application service providers); CLECs (competitive local exchange carriers); and regional ISPs. In short, not residences.
Let's hope Yipes delivers on its claims. But if it doesn't, I'm sure somebody else will.
So I have been wrong again, and George Gilder right. Ethernet is killing ATM.

Costumed musicians perform outside the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History in Kennesaw, Georgia.
Kennesaw, Georgia, has a population of 22,000 residents and is located northwest of Atlanta in Cobb County. The city dates to the 1830s when the Georgia legislature authorized the construction of a rail line through the county. The railroad is integral to the community's history and, in March 2003, the City of Kennesaw and the Kennesaw Museum Foundation opened the Southern Museum of Civil War and Locomotive History.
The museum, a part of the Smithsonian Institution Affiliates program, is the focus of a citywide heritage tourism and heritage education program. The city also has rehabilitated its 1908 railroad depot as a community museum.
Originally called Big Shanty, reflecting its early history as a construction camp for Irish railroad workers, the city changed its name to Kennesaw after the Civil War to commemorate the nearby battle of Kennesaw Mountain. South of the city, Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park preserves the site of the battle, which was fought during the Union campaign to take Atlanta.
Kennesaw is an active participant in the Blue and Gray Trail, a regional heritage tourism driving tour that focuses on the many dramatic events that occurred in the area during the Civil War. One such incident occurred in Kennesaw, where Union soldiers hijacked a locomotive, triggering an 87-mile pursuit that came to be known as "The Great Locomotive Chase."
The community also participates in the Dixie Highway Trail driving tour program. The trail celebrates the history and attractions of communities like Kennesaw that are located along the Dixie Highway, the first Interstate to reach into the South. In Kennesaw, visitors can enjoy historic resources in five historic districts.
Kennesaw's Historic Preservation Commission oversees the city's historic preservation activities, and the National Park Service has designated the city as a Certified Local Government.

John Dale  (27 May 1885 – 27 September 1952) was an English-born Australian medical practitioner.

He was born at Coleshill in Warwickshire to grocer James Francis Dale and Mary Grace. He was educated at Solihull Grammar School before studying medicine at the University of Birmingham. After a tour of Germany he worked as an assistant medical officer in Smethwick. He married Wynifred Mary Evans, a kindergarten teacher in the Montessori style, on 9 July 1914; they had four children. During World War I he served in the Royal Army Medical Corps as a major, and he was appointed deputy assistant director of medical services to the Second and Fourth Armies and the Army of the Rhine. He was recognised for his work combating typhoid fever with an OBE and a French decoration.

Shortly after the war Dale received his Doctorate of Medicine and migrated to Australia, arriving in Perth in February 1920 to become medical officer of health and assistant inspector of hospitals. He remained in Western Australia until 1927, when he was appointed medical officer of health for the City of Melbourne. From 1929 he also lectured at the University of Melbourne on public health, and he served on the British Medical Association's Victorian council (president 1945). In February 1951 he was divorced; on 7 March that year he married Dr Hilda Bull, after which he and his wife left for the Netherlands. Dale worked as a medical officer for the Australian government, examining potential migrants. On 27 September 1952 he was killed in a car accident at Venice. He is buried near Verona.

Global sea-level contribution from Arctic land ice: 1971 to 2017

Abstract The Arctic Monitoring and Assessment Program (AMAP) (AMAP, 2017) identifies the Arctic as the largest regional source of land ice to global sea-level rise in the 2003 to 2014 period. Yet, this contextualization ignores the longer perspective from in-situ records of glacier mass balance. Here, using 18 (> 55 ... read more °N latitude) glacier and ice cap mass balance series in the 1971 to 2017 period, we develop a semi-empirical estimate of annual sea-level contribution from seven Arctic regions by scaling the in-situ records to GRACE averages. We contend that our estimate represents the most accurate mass balance assessment so far available before the 1992 start of satellite altimetry. We estimate the 1971 to 2017 eustatic sea-level contribution from land ice north of ~55° N to be 23.0±12.3 mm sea-level equivalent (SLE). In all regions, the cumulative sea-level rise curves exhibit an acceleration, especially after 1988. Greenland is the source of 46% of the Arctic sea-level rise contribution (10.6±7.3 mm), followed by Alaska (5.7±2.2 mm), Arctic Canada (3.2±0.7 mm) and the Russian High Arctic (1.5±0.4 mm). Our annual results exhibit co-variability over a 43 year overlap (1971 to 2013) with the alternative dataset of Marzeion et al (2015) (M15). However, we find a 1.36x lower sea-level contribution, in agreement with satellite gravimetry. The IPCC Fifth Assessment report identified constraining the pre-satellite era sea-level budget as a topic of low scientific understanding that we address and specify sea-level contributions coinciding with IPCC Special Report on the Ocean and Cryosphere in a Changing Climate (SROCC) "present day" (2005-2015) and "recent past" (1986-2005) reference periods. We assess an Arctic land ice loss of 8.3 mm SLE during the recent past and 12.4 mm SLE during the present day. The seven regional sea-level rise contribution time series of this study are available from AMAP.no. show less
