Why X-mas Actually Keeps Christ in Christmas
Facts & Trends - December 12, 2018 7 Comments
"Adoration of the Shepherds" by Gerard van Honthorst | Wikicommons
By Aaron Earls
For many looking for the frontlines in the "War on Christmas," X marks the spot. Historically, however, X-mas is closer to Christmas than you may realize.
On the surface, X-mas seems like the definition of "taking Christ out of Christmas." It literally replaces His name with an X. But when properly understood, it's more like using "JFK" to refer to John F. Kennedy than removing a reference to Jesus from the celebration of His birthday.
When X Is Not Really X
The first part of understanding where X-mas originated is to recognize that the letter used in the abbreviation is not actually the English letter "x." It's the Greek letter chi and is the first letter of Christ.
In Greek, Christ looks like this: Χριστός.
Because of this, X has been used as an abbreviation for Christ very early in Christianity.
The so-called Jesus Fish symbol comes from an acronym that incorporates X as a stand-in for Christ. ΙΧΘΥΣ is the Greek word for fish, but early Christians used it as shorthand for "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior."
Chi-rho symbol
On October 27, 312 A.D., Constantine, in a fierce battle with Maxentius over the Roman Empire, claimed to vision instructing him to mark the shields of his soldiers with a sign for Christ.
Constantine combined the first two Greek letters of Christ to create the XP or chi–rho sign as a symbol for Jesus.
"Constantine instructed his soldiers to scrawl the letters on their shield before the Battle of Milvian Bridge, his victory in which led to the unlikely establishment of a Christian empire," writes Matthew Schmitz at First Things.
"Far from a symbol of secularization, then, Xmas carries echoes of the clash of battle that inaugurated political Christendom.
X-mas' Long History
The first use of X in an abbreviation for Christmas dates all the way back to an Anglo-Saxon scribe in 1021, who wrote "XPmas" as shorthand.
The Webster's Dictionary of English Usage describes several variations of "Xtian" being used as an abbreviation for Christian since the 1400s.
X had become so closely tied to Christ that illiterate Jews at Ellis Island would not sign using the letter, according to a story relayed in Garner's Modern American Usage. They instead chose to mark with an O.
"Xmas," specifically, appeared in the letters of writers like Lord Byron and Lewis Carroll in the 1800s. Supreme Court justice Oliver Wendell Holmes used it in 1923.
For years, people would simply read Xmas as "Christmas."
"There's a long and sacred history of the use of X to symbolize the name of Christ," wrote theologian R.C. Sproul, "and from its origin, it has meant no disrespect."
But that doesn't stop many followers of Christ from seeing the term negatively. More than 4 in 10 Christians (42 percent) say it is offensive when people say "X-mas" instead of "Christmas," according to a new study from LifeWay Research.
Instead of being offended, Christians could see someone using "X-mas" as a gospel opportunity.
X Marks the Gospel Spot
People are open to faith-filled conversations this time of year. They expect to talk about Christ during Christmas.
Four in 10 Americans who never attend church (41 percent) say Christmas should be more about Jesus.
Whether others recognize it or not, the X in X-mas is a reminder of who Jesus is.In 2015, LifeWay Research found 61 percent of Americans typically attend church at Christmastime. And among those who do not attend, 57 percent said they were likely to attend if someone they knew asked them.
In 2010 LifeWay Research asked people when they are more open to considering matters of faith. Christmas was the most common response. Almost half (47 percent) said they were more open to thinking about faith during the holiday season.
With non-Christians ready to talk about Jesus this time of the year, someone using "X-mas" could open the door for a conversation about that X.
Ask if they know how the abbreviation started. Talk about how X-mas still points to Christ. Bring up why early Christians used the fish as a symbol.
Whether others recognize it or not, the X is a reminder of who Jesus is—the Messiah sent by God as a humble baby at the first Advent, but who will return one day in the second Advent as the conquering King.
You may not want to use X-mas personally, but someone else using the shorthand can give you an opportunity to talk about the long history of Christians recognizing Jesus as the Christ.

Steve Thompson says
So you really want to find a way to justify removing from Christmas the word "Christ" and all that it means. Your justification, i.e., go back to the origins, is essentially the same one that many fundamentalists use to condemn children for participating in "Trick-or-Treat" activities. Clever for sure, but let's consider where we are today, what "X" means today and the implications of an effective confession by keeping Christ in Christmas!

Merkel dealt serious blow with right wing win
Angela Merkel's refugee policy has been blamed as German far-right wins enough votes to secure seats in 3 state parliaments
14 Mart 2016 Pazartesi 11:39
German Chancellor Angela Merkel was facing fresh pressure Monday over her liberal refugee policy after a drubbing in regional elections described as a "debacle".
Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) was at the receiving end of voter anger, suffering defeats in two out of three states in Sunday's elections -- including in its traditional stronghold Baden-Wuerttemberg.
The stinging result for the conservative CDU was accompanied by a surge in backing for the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD), which had sparked outrage by suggesting police may have to shoot at migrants to stop them entering the country.
The elections were the biggest since Germany registered a record influx of refugees that reached 1.1 million in 2015, and largely regarded as a referendum on Merkel's decision to open the doors to people fleeing war.
While they have no direct impact on her chancellorship, the regional polls in the southwestern states of Baden-Wuerttemberg and Rhineland-Palatinate as well as Saxony-Anhalt in the east served as a key test ahead of general elections in 2017.
The mass-circulation Bild newspaper described it as a "day of horror" for Merkel.
Merkel, who is expected to give her first reaction to the polls shortly after midday, has so far resolutely refused to impose a cap on refugee arrivals, insisting instead on common European action that includes distributing asylum seekers among the EU's 28 member states.
Refugee policy 'makes no sense'
But Sunday's results could strengthen the hand of her adversaries, including strident critics within her Bavarian allies, the CSU.
The main reason for the poor CDU showing "is the refugee policy. It makes no sense at all," CSU chief Horst Seehofer said at a party meeting on Monday, according to national news agency DPA.
Demanding a change in refugee policy, Seehofer said: "It can't be that after such an election result, the answer to the electorate is: everything will go on as before."
Beyond Germany, Merkel also risks isolation at a meeting of EU leaders opening Thursday, when they will seek to finalise a deal with Turkey on stemming the migrant influx.
Merkel has criticised a decision by Balkan states to close their borders to refugees, but Bavarian daily Nuernberger Nachrichten noted that "she is benefiting more than anyone from the border closures that she is criticising".
"After this election, Merkel must, more than ever, give an explanation."
'Black Sunday'
The German press said the results delivered a clear message to Merkel.
"The grand coalition on Sunday received the bill for its refugee policy, which has polarised Germany," the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung said.
Spiegel Online described it as "Black Sunday for the CDU".
"For a long time (Merkel) had hoped, despite all the opposition to her refugee policy, to grab the two state premierships in the southwestern states. That's not happening," Spiegel said in an editorial.
"Merkel will now have to live with the accusation that she has allowed the AfD to establish itself to the right of the CDU."
For most of the last decade, Merkel has enjoyed stellar popularity ratings as she pushed a middle-ground politics.
Although her strategy has allowed her party to win over some ground from the centre-left Social Democrats, critics say it has left its right flank exposed.
In Sunday's vote, the AfD captured seats into all three states and gained as much as one in four votes in the eastern state of Saxony-Anhalt, emerging as the second biggest party. In Rhineland-Palatinate, it rose to become the third largest.
Nevertheless, the irony is that Sunday's polls also once again showed there is no obvious successor to Merkel, as the CDU's biggest mainstream challenger and junior coalition partner -- the Social Democratic Party -- was severely weakened, coming in behind AfD in two out of three states.
And Julia Kloeckner, who some believed could be the successor to Merkel, failed to help the CDU to a win in Rhineland-Palatinate.
Even Seehofer acknowledged that Merkel was still the right chancellor, while the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung questioned who had the clout to force the German leader to reverse her stance on refugees.
"The party has less choice than ever" for its succession, it noted.

The 2011 North American Rally to the Caribbean (NARC) which began on Oct. 30, 2011, in Newport, R.I. was marred by two tragic events as the fleet made its way south.
On Nov. 2, gale-force winds and 20- to 30-foot seas forced the captain and crew of Elle, a 46-foot Beneteau to abandon ship 200 nautical miles northwest of Bermuda. The vessel had experienced a steering failure and one of the crew-members suffered bruised ribs. After placing a distress call, the crew of four were rescued from their vessel by the Bermuda Container Line vessel Oleander, en route from New Jersey to Hamilton, Bermuda. Unfortunately, the yacht Elle had to be abandoned.
In a second incident, a 59-year-old woman, Janet Anderson, was lost overboard in 20-foot seas and 45-knot winds. She and her husband were sailing aboard their 38-foot Island Packet, Triple Stars, when the accident occurred 285 miles northwest of Bermuda on Nov. 11. The U.S. Coast Guard conducted a two-day search covering 1,735 square miles before search efforts for Anderson were suspended. The merchant vessel High Jupiter rescued Robert Anderson, who was forced to abandon Triple Stars.
Another NARC participant, the 49-foot sloop Riot also suffered steering failure, this time on final approach to St. George's Harbor and issued a distress call to Bermuda Maritime Operations Center. Pilot boat St. George and tug Powerful came to Riot's assistance. Winds averaged 30- to 35-knots during the rescue operation as St. George and Powerful worked to keep Riot clear of reefs. Riot was ultimately safely guided into St. George's Harbor.

Church changes camps ahead of comeback fight on December 3
Tim Rickson - October 31, 2015
Light-heavyweight Darrel Church (2-1), 25-years-old from Tiptree, Essex, has changed training camps ahead of his next scheduled fight on December 3rd.
Looking to bounce back from a points loss to Angelo 'Concrete' Crowe (2-6) in June this year, Church has switched camps to prepare for his all-important comeback fight on a Carl Greaves Promotions show.
"I'm booked to fight on the next show at the Grays Civic Hall on December 3rd," the former unlicensed star said. "It's a different event to normal as it's a dinner show and the tickets are £75 each.
WBC - 2019 trainer of the year Eddy Reynoso
"There won't be a whole lot of money in this fight for me but that's ok because I don't care about the money, I just want to get back in there and fight.
"My manager, Carl Greaves is going to line me up with a decent opponent, I learnt so much in the last fight that I'm ready to take on better challengers, and there's no way I will taste that feeling of defeat again."
Formerly fighting out of The Fight Farm with Kevin Lilley, Church opted to change over to Mark Massow's gym, located closer to home.
"Basically, I was looking at a fresh start so I've left my trainer Kevin Lilley to train in Witham, which is just five minutes away from me," said 'The Baptist'. "All boxers change camps at some point and Kevin and I are still mates so we parted well.
"I explained to him that the gym was 25 minutes travelling time away from me which doesn't sound like a lot to some people but it's there and back and, when you've got a young family and work commitments, it can be hard.
"Training closer to home with Mark Massow is a lot better as it's literally just around the corner so I don't have to rush back from work like before."
Williams defeats Keys at Battle at the Boat 125
Firefighter Mark Massow, a former paratrooper with the 1st Battalion Parachute Regiment in Aldershot, used to train pro boxers working with Frank Maloney but decided to concentrate on the amateurs already under his wing instead.
The 42-year-old also coached his regiment's boxing team, leading them to win the Army Championships in 1998.
Now serving in the London Fire Brigade based in Barking, Massow has a mix of amateurs and pros, and also has debutant Justin Johnson on his books.

New coach, Massow said, "The Witham gym is a new venture about to open so Darrel's been using my home gym in Great Leighs, Chelmsford and will continue to train there until the Witham gym opens."
Of his new leadership, Church beamed, "It's nice to have that fresh start to give you the motivation and I'm lucky that all of the attention is on me. He does have another pro on his books but he trains us all separately.
The 175-pounder from Tiptree continued to praise, "He's a great coach and we've been doing everything so there's loads of pad work, bag work, sprints, hill runs, and sparring.
"There's little things that he has picked up on like with my guard for one, he makes a lot of fuss about every single punch thrown so he's all about the detail.
"He's steering me well and looking after my best interests, I'm just eager for more."
Church understandably took his first defeat badly, having not lost in two fights as a pro and 11 bouts on the unlicensed circuit.
However, the switch in gyms has revitalised the downcast boxer and December 3rd will see his return to the ring in what will be the fourth outing in his first 18 months as a pro.
"I've been watching boxing every night on my iPad, studying fighters, thinking about it all the time, and I've definitely got the buzz back!" confirmed Church.
'The Baptist's' former teammate Paul Hilz (2-1) headlines the show vying for the new English Challenge middleweight title.
Idris Hill (1-0) competes in his second six-threes, successfully defeating Dan Carr (3-76-2) on his debut on October 17th in the familiar venue.
Joe Jackson Brown (3-0) stopped tough Lithuanian Egidijus Kakstys (5-24-2) in the final 20 seconds of their four round bout last time out, earning a second stoppage in his trio of pro fights.
The light-heavyweight who came through the ranks of the Queensbury Boxing League is heavy-handed and will be looking for another stoppage on his unbeaten ledger.
Welterweight John Wheatley (1-0) from Harwich enters into his second pro bout over four three-minute rounds. He kicked off his debut with a shut-out points victory over veteran Matt Seawright (5-124-5) in a six two-minute rounds welterweight contest on October 17th at the same venue.
Middleweight debutante Paul Southwick kicks off his pro career over four three-minute rounds.

Team Church would like to thank sponsors MB Surfacing and Incredible Pixels and PR Manager, Tim Rickson

Trustees Update
Did you miss the presentations given by the Trustees at our Autumn Fayre on November 8th? We give a summary below.
The meeting opened with a reading of Psalm 115 by Mr Harold Jempson. Particular mention was made of verse 12 "The Lord hath been mindful of us", followed by a Welcome to all attendees.
Trustees – It was announced that Mrs Helen Jempson has been appointed as a Trustee and Mr Andrew Jempson has stepped down. The matter of Trusteeship has been given much thought and it is the intention of the current Trustees to seek additional help when the scheme commences.
Strawberry Hill – Malcolm Cassam from Cassam Associates outlined the benefits of the current proposals before the planners. The addition of the extra unit will make the scheme more viable and also slightly increase the size of the current apartments. We hope to receive a decision from the Planning Authorities before the end of the year. Preliminary costings are available based on 10 apartments so as to give some indication of cost. A Sales Valuation Appraisal from Stiles Harold Williams is available on request. Prices of the apartments will be very competitive and will be subject to discounts. Please refer to the brochures for the project which indicate the prestige nature of the apartments and the facilities incorporated for Healthy & Safety and DDA compliance. This scheme is being run as a Charity (the Trustees receive no remuneration) and the interest on the bank loan for the purchase of the land has up to the present time been met by the family company, as have all running costs. The Trustees have given their time on a voluntary basis.
Fund-raising – The Gift Aid Scheme available on donations is a great help to our funds. If you are a UK taxpayer we can claim 25p from HMRC for every £1 which you donate. The sales of Christmas and Greetings cards are a great success and have also generated useful funds for the Trust. Any friends who shop on-line can raise funds at no additional cost to them by registering with www.easyfundraising.org.uk and supporting the Oak Tree Homes Trust.
With the help of donations, a legacy, Fayres and chapel collections, for which we express our heart-felt thanks, all costs have been met to date and we hope to venture in the New Year, God willing, with the construction of Strawberry Hill House, looking unto the Lord for His provision.

The National Science and Technology Council is focused on establishing clear national goals for Federal science and technology investments and to ensure that science, space, and technology policies are developed and implemented to effectively contribute to those national goals. The intensity of this high level effort to examine R&D across the Federal government and to foster a solid working relationship with the private sector is unprecedented. Through this interagency process, overlapping and duplicative research will be avoided and technology policy will be given a higher profile.
Transportation is affected by the activities of many agencies, and is largely a private-sector activity. Further, agencies participating commonly emphasized that, even given the importance of the priorities noted, ongoing R&D activities to support specific mission responsibilities is also essential and offers very limited opportunities, at best, for reprogramming. In some cases, formulation of R&D policy and actual priorities must wait upon the shaping of broader Federal policies concerning infrastructure investments and the proper allocation of responsibilities among various levels of government and the private sector. As a result, delineation of the appropriate Federal R&D role, the part to be played by each agency, and how these are to be coordinated with the private sector and state and local governments, is a very complex process. At this point, the goals identified by the Committee are very broad, plans for specific initiatives are not sharply defined, relative priorities have not been set, and budget implications have yet to be identified. In 1995 the Committee will focus on bringing more precise definition to these areas, and to establishment of priorities among the many important topics described above.

The idea is that, once enabled, Windows will automatically take care of temporary files and files in the recycle bin without you needing to do anything. This keeps your system clean of unwanted and unused files so you have more room for the things you actually want.

What Is Driving SRI Adoption in Private Markets?
A new survey from data company Preqin shows that investors in private equity, private debt and real assets expect SRI to play a greater role over the next five years
New technologies are expected to drive the adoption of socially responsible investing (SRI) strategies within the universe of unlisted assets, according to new research.
Preqin, a specialist in data for unlisted real assets, private equity, private debt and hedge funds, found that a majority of investors it surveyed believed that new technology would improve investor reporting and fund operations over the course of the next five years.
The research found that 59% of asset managers operating in private markets did not make use of big data in their investment processes. However, 42% said they expected to have some big data tools within their processes by 2025.
The Future of Alternatives 2025 survey found that nearly 80% of managers said they would increase their environmental, social and governance (ESG) investing practices by a 'moderate' or 'significant' amount over the next few years. Just 1% said it would have a lesser influence on their business than it does currently.
Dave Lowery, head of research insights at Preqin, said: "Driven by regulations and investor demand, ESG investing has gone from being a niche market to the mainstream and has reached critical mass as of late 2020.
"Industry professionals already see the relationship between positive impact and investment performance. Investor demand for more information and advances in data analytics will also drive data-oriented organizational transformation; fund managers will need to develop clear data strategies going into 2025.
"And, while regulation of alternatives assets is increasing and impacting different markets, it is also creating new opportunities; regulations such as carbon reduction will create investment opportunities in technology and infrastructure for energy efficiency, renewable energy, and low-carbon technologies."
Regulation was the main driver of ESG trends in Europe, Preqin said. The European Union has introduced a Sustainable Finance Taxonomy as well as other measures, which has led to 63% of the $2.5 trillion invested into private markets in Europe since 2011 being managed according to ESG principles.
However, in North America there was "considerable room for improvement", Preqin said. While investors have allocated more than $6 trillion to ESG strategies in private markets over the past 10 years, this accounted for just over a third of total new investments.
The Preqin survey also forecast that total private markets assets under management would swell from $10.7 trillion in 2020 to $17.2 trillion in 2025 based on the vast majority of investors (81%) saying they expected to increase allocations over the next five years.

I took this Picture of Paul & Linda McCartney at the 1973 Academy Awards (which were presented April 2, 1974 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles) when Paul was nominated for "Live & Let Die." Paul & Linda walked up to the podium and Army Archerd started asking him questions on live TV. Paul then turned his head and stared directly at me, totally ignoring the interviewer, and giving me an eerie feeling – was he actually looking at me? I pulled the viewfinder of the camera away from my eye, I had no more film, having just taken this last frame of Paul & Linda, but he continued his penetrating stare.

Retaining The Same Murderous Flavor In A New Locale
by Suriel Vazquez on Jun 13, 2018 at 12:41 AM
Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive
Developer: IO Interactive
Platform: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC
2016's Hitman brought the series back to its roots while making it more elaborate than ever, giving players numerous paths to their target and letting them experiment along the way. While Hitman 2 doesn't change that formula much, it does improve on it, making some under-the-hood changes that should make it easier for would-be assassins to track and kill their targets. It's also improving on the game's release schedule, with the promise of regular updates and a full game out of the gate.
My demo left me with the impression IO Interactive doesn't want to fix what wasn't broken, but is continuing to refine the experience. My mission placed me in Miami, where I was tasked with sabotaging a prominent race car named Sierra Knox at Formula 1-esque race. I began my mission without weapons of any kind, which may have limited my options out of the gate, but made getting through the pat-down at security a breeze.
Once inside the event proper, it's clear Miami is following in the lineage of its predecessor by packing Miami with thousands of people and lots of spaces to explore. IO tells me there are over 2,000 NPCs, and it's a little difficult to get a good read on the place at first. I hop on a set of nearby bongos for a few seconds, then hop off to explore my options. I notice the VIP section, which is sporting a discerning security detail.
As I start to piece a plan together to lure one of the guards away to nab his outfit, Diana Burnwood points me to a red van in the parking garage, which she's loaded with a silenced pistol and an explosive. As I make my way to the van, I notice an inner office inside the parking garage with two guards in it, one of which was asleep at the wheel. After loading up at the van, I scan the edges of the garage for a bit and find a fuse box out of sight of the guards. Sabotaging the fuse box turns the power off in the office, luring the one conscious guard out of his post. After subduing him and dragging his body into the locker located right next to his fellow unconscious guard, I don the security garb and make my way into the VIP section.
At the VIP section, I hear that one of the mechanics on Knox's pit crew is planning to quit. Diana quickly has me tail him through a crowd, which is where one of Hitman's new features comes into play. Blending into crowds is now an explicit part of the game, and lowers the awareness of suspicious people around you.
As I blend in with the crowd, I realize one of Hitman's guiding principles is still in place: In order for the mechanic to make his next move, I need to "trigger" his next action by walking near him, instead of simply waiting for him go along his route. While this isn't a dealbreaker, it hampers my immersion in the world, and I had hoped the full sequel would have meant a more clockwork world, with every character acting independently of Agent 47.
I roll with it, however, and begin tailing the mechanic at a distance by cutting through crowds interspersed at the outside VIP section. I stop to reassess after he decides to start sipping wine at the bar. As is often the case in Hitman, it's time to poison his drink. My guise as security hasn't been compromised, so I'm free to head into the kitchen to wait for a waiter to enter the supply room. As soon as they enter, I chuck a kitchen knife at their face and take their outfit. Of course, the rat poison I need is right behind me.
Back at the bar, I get to see another tweak in action: I can now choose to keep my head down as a waiter while I wait for the mechanic to leave his drink unattended, which lowers my chances of being spotted by another waiter who might know better than to let an overly stoic guy with a barcode tattoo tend bar. After a few seconds, I see my chance and slip the poison in the mechanic's drink, then follow him to the bathroom.
Before I subdue him, IO tells me to watch out for people and mirrors. If someone happens to be looking at a mirror with your refelction, it'll count as them seeing you. Luckily, the bathroom is empty, and I'm free to leave the unconscious mechanic to his bodily functions.
While wearing the mechanic's outfit, I head to the pit near the race track. The pit crew leader doesn't skip a beat and immediately orientes me on the finer points of being a crew member as though I'd just been hired. He tells me to get out on the track and maintain Knox's car. With the explosive still on me, it's all too easy to sabotage the whole affair. While I went with the explosive, IO tells me there are at least two more ways to end the scenario.
Finally, to confirm my kill, I stop by the racetrack to get a better few of the finale. As Knox races past me, I detonate the explosive, ending the demo. This is a fairly standard Hitman anecdote, but that's indicative of Hitman 2's approach: The original has created so many player-made stories worth telling that it's hard to justify upending too much of the formula.
If anything, the most important thing Hitman 2 changes is the release schedule: Rather than release one scenario every month or so, players will have access to the entire game at once when the game releases on November 13, letting them play out Agent 47's next few mission on their own. IO assures me its dedicated to supporting Hitman 2 past release, however, and confirmed bonus missions like escalation contracts and elusive targets will make a return and will be delivered on a similar schedule as before.
They also confirmed Agent 47's briefcase is back, letting you stow just about any item inside. You can also leave the briefcase lying around, and it will be noticed by passersby, which could screw up your entire plan or play right into your hand, depending on how you use it.
These details are all great, but I wonder why Hitman 2 is a wholly separate game from the first, instead of a continuation of the world of assassination established in the first Hitman. Still, if Miami is at all indicative of the expansive playgrounds Hitman 2 will let players go wild in, it should deliver the same kind of sly-yet-goofy thrills fans have become so enamored with in the last few years.

Neil Peart, the virtuoso drummer and lyricist for Rush, died Tuesday, January 7th, in Santa Monica, California, at age 67, according to Elliot Mintz, a family spokesperson. The cause was brain cancer, which Peart had been quietly battling for three-and-a-half years. A representative for the band confirmed the news to Rolling Stone. Peart was one of rock's greatest drummers, with a flamboyant yet precise style that paid homage to his hero, the Who's Keith Moon, while expanding the technical and imaginative possibilities of his instrument. He joined singer-bassist Geddy Lee and guitarist Alex Lifeson in Rush in 1974, and his musicianship and...

A keyword tool is one of the most useful tools in a content marketer's toolbox. Keyword tools help you discover new keywords, peek into your competitors' keyword strategies, and build your own strategy to dominate Search Engine Result Pages (SERPs).
But which keyword tool is the best? And how can you tell if a keyword tool has all the features that you need for your own SEO work?
Among the many keyword tools on the market, SEMRush is one of the best-known and feature-packed tools available. SEMRush was founded in 2008 by a group of SEO and IT specialists who wanted to crack Google's secret search engine code and provide expert advertising insights to all. Today, the company boasts over 200 employees and a robust tool that provides data, reports and insights into many facets of SEO.
What Is SEMRush – And Why Do You Need It?
SEMRush is a keyword research tool. There are others on the market, including Google Keyword Planner, but none make it quite so easy to find competitive keyword information as SEMRush does.
Yes, you can peek under the competitor's curtains in a completely ethical and legal way and take a look at what keywords their sites are ranking for when you use professional tools like SEMRush. Not only can you find organic keyword rankings, you can also find competitive data on paid search traffic but more about this later.
Now if all of these terms mean nothing to you, then take a deep breath. You'll learn soon enough that SEO is more than picking a few keywords and weaving them into your content.
Let's start with SEMRush's Analytics Reports. From the top menu, you get a dropdown menu of the seven analytics reports available.
Organic research lets you evaluate your competitors' keywords, discover new competitors, and see how your competitors position in the search results changes over days, weeks or months.
Advertising research enables you to do your homework before spending ad dollars. SEMRush tracks many companies' AdWords spend, and can analyze competitors' budgets and spending to help you refine your keyword strategy. Research what your competitors are doing and develop your own strategies to counteract them.
Display advertising offers similar tools to the advertising research, but focuses on digital display ads instead. See who the top display advertisers are in your market and observe the difference among various display devices.
Video advertising research also uses similar keyword tools and analysis to Advertising and Display research so that you can spend your dollars more wisely to achieve better video advertising results.
Backlinks reports lets you conduct deep links analysis, create lists of potential sites to cultivate for backlinks, and shows you who is linking into your site, your competitors' sites, and more.
Product listing ads help you define your markets before setting up Google product listing ads, as well as research competitive keywords for your ads. You can enhance your current listings or create new ones based on intense research.
Keyword research tool offers a robust way to generate keywords with all their associated volume and competition data quickly and effectively. You can research long tail keywords and plug in URLs to discover keywords used to help sites rank well online.
The next dashboard on the site offers SEMRush Tools. These are a set of four tools to help you with your keyword research and strategy. Among the tools are specialized searches designed to help you find keywords with low competition, so you can find niches to dominate, as well as tools to compare two domains' keywords. You may be able to spot keyword gaps and uncover clues as to why a competitor's site ranks better than yours.
Charts provide graphical insight into your research, while the MyReports tools gathers everything into one convenient research bucket so you're not jumping from one menu to another on the site.
The last area of the site offers project-based tools for site managers. These tools range from a site audit, which can help you track down reasons why a site isn't ranking well, to social media monitoring and other tools to help you gain visibility and produce a great website. Local tools include Position Tracking, so you can assess local search versus national and global search.
The Brand Monitor report and project tools helps you monitor online reputation and backlinks. If you haven't yet heard of reputation monitoring and management online, it's a good idea to learn more as this is rapidly becoming an important topic.
Brands today need help gathering all information on what's being said about them online. With the proliferation of social media channels, forums and comment sections on websites and blogs, it can be difficult to catch everything said about your company.
Brand Monitor helps you monitor what's being said about you online and take proactive steps to repair any possible damage to your reputation should something negative be said about your company.
Access to SEMRush is offered on a monthly contract. You can pay for a year in advance and receive a lower price.
The PRO level is currently $69 per month.
The GURU level is $149.95 per month.
The PROFESSIONAL level is $549.95 per month.
The different prices reflect the amount of data you can retrieve from the system in a given month. At the PRO level, for example, you can run 3,000 reports per day, while the BUSINESS level allows you to run 10,000 reports per day. A 30-day free trial is offered, but the trial is very limited, and provides access to only top-level information.
Given how important SEO is to many businesses, it's vital to choose a good tool for your business. SEMRush offers many pros and some cons.
It's fast. Running keyword reports takes only seconds.
Competitor insights and tracking offers an astonishing amount of data at the click of a button. What used to take weeks to find manually now takes seconds to run on reports from SEMRush. If you have a lot of competitors, or you're in a highly competitive industry, this feature alone is worth the price.
The site offers lots of details, or you can winnow down to exactly what you need.
It's best-known for its keyword research capabilities and it's great for planning content marketing strategies as well as paid advertising.
Customer service is excellent. They offer phone and online chat support for the USA and Europe. The hours are limited, but clearly stated, and there's an excellent FAQ as well as training videos for troubleshooting and help.
User new to running SEO reports and campaigns may find this keyword tool difficult to navigate at first. The site does offer plenty of training and support, including demonstration videos, but if you just want to jump in and start using the keyword tool, it's a steep learning curve.
The site offers so much that you may not use all of the tools if you run a small business.
If you're really serious about keyword research, then SEMRush is the best SEO keyword tool for you. While others can give you basic information on traffic and volumes for specific keyword phrases, nobody gives you competitive intelligence at this depth and breadth like SEMRush.
Another gem with this tool is its helpfulness when planning paid advertising campaigns. Display, video and product ads all benefit from the various features of the site. The insights, tips, and keyword research for these types of advertising can keep you from wasting your ad dollars on things that won't work and start off with things that have the best chance of working.
All in all, when compared with tools like AdWords, SEMRush can't be beat. If you are new to the world of SEO research, start with the lowest tier plan, the PRO plan, and try that for a few months. It will probably provide you with all that you need, but you can easily upgrade to GURU or BUSINESS plan if necessary.
SEMRush is a winner for novices and experts alike. If you're serious about SEO, this is the best keyword tool available.
Full Disclosure: When you purchase using our referral link, at no additional cost to you, we will receive a small commission. We would get this referral fee for recommending just about any other company, but we only recommend products that we personally use and/or believe will add value to our readers. SEMRush is one of them!

Interview with Benjamin Heller
Q: If you were on a desert island and could take just 5 pieces of gear, what would they be?

Q: What's your 'promise' to your clients?
A: That you will LOVE the product after I'm done with it.
Q: Can you share one music production tip?
A: So many people have said it but... Get it right at the source.
Q: Tell us about a project you worked on you are especially proud of and why. What was your role?
A: I think the project I'm most proud of is October VI's first EP. October VI is my wife and I's band. The two of us recorded 80% of the instruments, produced everything ourselves, and I mixed the project so it's a pretty good indication of who we are and what we are about. And... It's badass.
Q: Analog or digital and why?
A: Analog for recording / Digital for mixing Analog gear brings a total vibe to any sound you put into it. I love when drums go through real pre-amps and EQ circuits of an analog desk. It adds loads of harmonics to the signal and just makes me happy. With the expectation that recalls should be a fast process mixing in the box is a no brainer. Also, if you mix up your plugin usage as much as you can I think it gives a more non-linear response which seems to be similar to mixing in the analog domain.

You are here: Home / BC Lions Ring of Honour / Lui Passaglia – Kicker / Punter
Lui Passaglia – Kicker / Punter
When asked to name some of the greatest BC Lions of the past, there are few that would not name Lui Passaglia. Born in Vancouver on June 2th, 1954, Passagila would go on to a 25 year career that would leave him among the greatest kickers/punters to play in the Canadian Football League.Passaglia was a kicker in the pros, but in his school days he played quarterback for Notre Dame high school, before playing wide receiver and handling the kick duties at Simon Fraser University. Passaglia was drafted in the 5th round of the 1976 Canadian College Draft by his hometown Lions and minus a brief stint with the NFL's Cleveland Browns, he would spend his entire career in orange and black.
Passaglia became a huge fan favorite among the Lions faithful and when it was third down and a field goal was to be attempted chants of "Luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" echoed through the stadium.
Passaglia's greatest moment as a Lion came in 1994 when the home town Lions hosted the Baltimore Stallions in the Grey Cup game with national pride on the line before 55,097 fans at BC Place Stadium. It was the first time an American team would attempt to take Lord Grey's cup south of the 49th.
The game was a tightly contested, and with the score tied at 23-23 in the fourth quarter, Passaglia had a chance to put the Lions ahead, but missed a 37 yard attempt. Luckily for the Lions and Lui, he was given another shot, this time from 38 yards, and the greatest Lions kicker of all-time made no mistake. With no time left on the clock, he split the uprights and gave the Lions the win, and kept the cup in Canada where it belonged.

What Day Of The Week Was August 27, 2011?
August 27, 2011 was the 239th day of the year 2011 in the Gregorian calendar. There were 126 days remaining until the end of the year. The day of the week was Saturday.
A person born on this day will be 7 years old today. If that same person saved a Nickel every day starting at age 6, then by now that person has accumulated $30.15 today.


A Medical Certificate that shows the cause of death (this is free of charge and will be given in a sealed envelope addressed to the Registrar of Deaths).
If the doctor treating the deceased had not seen him or her either after the death or within 14 days before the death, the death must be reported to the coroner.
The death occurred while the patient was undergoing an operation or did not recover from the anaesthetic.
Also as noted above, if the doctor treating the deceased had not seen him or her either after the death or within 14 days before the death, the death must also be reported to the coroner. The coroner is likely to be the only person to certify the cause of death under the above circumstances.
The coroner may arrange for a post-mortem examination of the body to determine the cause of death if not known. The consent of relatives is not needed but they are entitled to be represented at the examination. When relatives have told the coroner they wish to be represented the coroner will, if at all practicable, tell them when and where the examination will be. If the post-mortem shows that death was due to natural causes, the coroner may issue a notification known as the Pink Form (Form 100), which gives the cause of death so that the death can be registered. The coroner usually sends the form direct to the Registrar of Deaths but may give it to you to deliver.
Post mortem examination is carried out to determine the cause of death. A pathologist needs to cut open the body and take samples of tissue from various organs to try investigating the cause of death. If the family of the deceased wish to avoid this they may choose an MRI scan instead. This will mean that the body will not be cut open. But please note that if the MRI scan cannot give a cause of death a post mortem may still be required. The family of the deceased will also need to pay for the MRI scan.
If the cause of death remains uncertain after post-mortem examination.
The coroner may give you an Order for Burial (form 101) so that the funeral can take place. This may be done before the inquest is completed, provided the body is not required for further examination. The coroner will also send a Certificate after Inquest (form 99), stating the cause of death, to the Registrar of Deaths. This allows the death to be registered.
The coroner may arrange for a post-mortem examination of the body to determine the cause of death if not known. The consent of relatives is not needed but they are entitled to be represented at the examination.

About Points of Light
Preston Black History Group
1025. Clinton Smith
Clinton Smith, from Preston, has chaired the 'Preston Black History Group' since 2012 to research, celebrate and share the contribution of Black history to British society.
Clinton hosts regular presentations at schools, libraries, museums and police forces, to promote diversity and improve multicultural understanding. Clinton oversaw an innovative partnership with the Preston-based Turner Prize winning artist Professor Lubaina Himid, the first female Black artist to ever receive the prize, to advise on a local exhibition about race and representation. He has also worked with the University of Central Lancashire to promote the study of Black Atlantic culture in the UK, bridging the gap between academia and the local community. Clinton was recently awarded the 2018 Fusion Lifetime Community Achievement Award for services to race relations.
In a personal letter to Clinton, Prime Minister Theresa May said:
"Through the 'Preston Black History Group' you are promoting cultural understanding, challenging misconceptions, and raising awareness of the far-reaching contributions African and African-Caribbean people have made to life in Britain. You should feel very proud of your inspiring work sharing previously untold stories and collaborating with local museums, galleries, and libraries."
Clinton said:
"I feel extremely privileged to be receiving the 'Points of Light' Award. Over the years I have tried to make a positive contribution to race, diversity and community cohesion. I have undertaken this without any thoughts about recognition or personal reward. I have been able to do this with the support and encouragement of the Members and supporters of Preston Black History Group (PBHG). Our work is to educate and to have pride in what we do and what we have achieved. The future is to ensure that the present and future generation will follow in our footsteps to continue what we have started. I feel very humble and proud to be receiving this award."

About a year ago I caught myself being very excited to claim an empty seat on a long subway ride in order to read a series of children's books about music. At my age—which shall remain a national secret—you'd think I would be immersing myself in classic literature in my spare time. However, I find my time being used to look for music related children's books that my students will enjoy and, more importantly, learn from. I pride myself in the ability to say "if I like this book, a 5-year-old will like this book " (because we think alike!).
As a young music teacher, I thought my job was to open my students' minds to the world of music through a musical instrument. However, I quickly found out that I can do much more than just familiarize a student with a particular instrument once a week. How much more fulfilling and rich would the music experience be if students were surrounded with books about music, composers, instruments, music history and artists' stories to inspire them? As I learned to teach, I came to believe that my students should be knowledgeable about at least three things to start with—instruments, composers and why to study music.
Learning about famous composers is a good way to have a well-rounded music awareness and the additional dimension of historical knowledge. However, many biographies of Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Vivaldi, Handel, Chopin, Liszt or Stravinsky… well, they can be a bit much. What 9-year-old will pick up a thick book and read about Beethoven's life? As music students progress into learning their instruments, they will sooner or later be expected to learn and perform compositions of a number of famous composers. Besides the technical requirements that a piece of music demands, the interpretation of that music is just as important. The students will have to be familiar and read about the composers, their lives, the time periods they lived in and the type of music they composed.
For a young student, getting to know the world's greatest composers should be educational but also fun. Let me introduce Mike Venezia's Getting To Know the World's Greatest Composers. This is the children's book series that had me rushing to find an empty seat on the subway because they provide a unique balance of fun and fact! These books could work in a number of different settings. In a classroom they can provide detailed information of a specific period of time that a composer lived or the type of music he composed for group study. However, in my opinion, they are most effective for a student's private instrumental lesson and not necessarily just to be read in class. The use of real images and paintings alongside humorous illustrations make even the most mundane information memorable. Each composer's biography is moulded in such a way that by the end of the book any reader, whether they know music or none at all, can come away with a good grasp of the composer's essence and even their personality. For a young music student, all this knowledge is extremely helpful in understanding music more deeply than only learning the black notes on the page.
Music certainly has quite a history—in fact, the arts in general have a knack for making history. Another children's book entitled When Stravinsky met Nijinsky by Lauren Stringer is one that captures a moment in history that students can enjoy in their own time. The biggest benefit of reading this book is not to gain technical knowledge or improve a musical performance, but rather to be exposed to a brief example of the unique abilities of music itself.
The premiere of the music and ballet performance of Igor Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring in 1913 marked a turning point in the arts. Up until the turn of the century, any dissonances and extravagant musical choices were almost unthinkable. Stravinsky's music took chances and was both praised and despised, as is any foreign idea until it has proven its merits against the test of time. It's important to note that this first performance of The Rite of Spring caused riots in the streets of Paris. This children's book introduces a fresh new perspective on music through a real story, interwoven imaginations of two artists, strong feelings and of course exuberant drawings that represent the changing times of that period. Just as music notation helps one read music, and practise helps to perfect it, stories like When Stravinsky met Nijinsky provide the artistic nutrition that helps fuel the other two.
Let's think where music comes from—it's an art that lies naturally at the core of the human psyche and it is impossible to keep it bottled up inside. Artists are really good at expressing that art but it's important that everyone shares it. Probably the most common reason for saying why someone should take music lessons or learn a musical instrument is to a have a way to express themselves. That may not mean just for the purpose of having fun or simply enjoying a song but could also be a good way to come up with new ideas, do a little bit of self-discovery or even potentially push cultural boundaries and innovation. Inspiration is key to exploration and there's no better time in life than childhood to explore the arts.
As we have heard countless times before, music is a universal language as well as a powerful and daring force. It constantly proves to be a smart choice to have this art form in our lives and I strongly encourage you to introduce it in the lives of your students in order to enhance their natural creativity. When introducing young minds to the arts, it's most important to guide them through options, a few figures of inspiration and trust in the strength of their imagination.

Avocados are regarded as 'Mother Nature's Skin Moisturizers'. It is a fruit that is edible as well as topically applicable. Avocados provide nearly 20 essential nutrients, including fiber, Potassium, Vitamin E, B-vitamins and folic acid. The Phytonutrients and the healthy fats offer remarkable benefits to the skin.
Last time when my brother and family visited us during summer, I bought some Avocados and made Chutney with it. I made some face pack with the rest of the Avocados and me and my S-I-L had to hide from the kids as they would scream at our face for the green mask. It was hilarious when my hubby looked at my face as if I had the left over Chutney on my face. While we were waiting for the face pack to absorb, somebody rang the door bell and we had to rush to wash it off :). I believe this might have happened to you too!!!
The Chutney can be used with lentil dumpling (Idli) or lentil crepes (Dosa). Avocado tends to change the color when exposed to air due to oxidation just like apples, so it is wise to add an acidic ingredient to stop the oxidation. I usually use lemon juice or green mango in the chutney to prevent browning. The nice blend of ginger, shallots and curry leaves will take away the avocado flavor from it and it tastes more like a mango chutney.
Blend all the ingredients for the chutney in a blender till the consistency of a smooth paste/ Chutney is attained.
Serve with Idli (Lentil dumplings) or Dosa (lentil crepe).
Increase the amount of green chili if you can handle more heat.
If you are not using green mango, use the juice of half a lemon.
Adjust the green chili per your spice level.
You can garnish with tadka too.
Shibi...intersting chutney...the raw mango would take away the strong avocado flavor - right?
You don't taste avocado at all in this chutney. It tastes just like Mango chutney. The ginger, shallots and curry leaves gives it a wonderful Mango chutney taste. I had tried it without Mango and just with lemon juice and it tastes good. I want to try it without adding water and add little more coconut to make the chutney that can go with rice, like our nadan thenga aracha chutney.
Great looking chutney! Mango is one of my favorite fruits, so I'd love this. Good stuff - thanks.
