We all know that Google rewards content that provides value to your website visitors, and pillar pages – pages that provide visitors with the education and resources they need to tackle specific topics – show Google that you're serious and, as a result, boost your search ranking. Weidert Group implemented a pillar page strategy as part of our overall growth-driven design web strategy and we're excited to share the results.
In this week's Weidert Wednesday I'll talk about those results as well the different types of pillar pages you can develop, and how we successfully rolled them into our own web content strategy.
Hi there, welcome back to another edition of Weidert Wednesday, I'm Justin, Web Development Manager here at Weidert Group. If you follow our blog or previous Weidert Wednesday posts, you would know we're a huge fan of pillar content strategy. Not only for us, but also our clients. If you're not sure what pillar content strategy is, check out Frank's previous Weidert Wednesday video.
A quick note, we have four pillar pages currently on our site implemented at various stages throughout our last 16 months of Growth-Driven Design cycles; we originally launched with two. All of these are considered what are commonly referred to as 10x pillar pages — a single page with a comprehensive guide-like structure. Apart from a 10x page there is also a resource pillar page that organizes common content around specific topics but mostly by linking rather than providing lots of copy. Both strategies deliver content that users will love.
All that being said, let's take a look at how pillar pages have impacted our organic traffic:
Since launching our new site in September of 2017, we've seen an increase in traffic from organic search site-wide by 74% compared to previous — a crazy number considering how saturated marketing blogs are, the space we're in, and the fact that we'd already been blogging for six years by then. Granted, not all of this new traffic comes from our pillar pages, but let's get specific:
- Our organic sessions site-wide in October 2017 were 36,902 sessions. Our peak month in October of 2018 was 64,671 sessions
- Our pillar pages in aggregate had 26,683 sessions to date with 12,232 being unique organic sessions. This accounts for just shy of 2% of our overall traffic. A large amount of our traffic comes from our blog and many of our blog posts point to our pillar page, so keep in mind when implementing a pillar strategy that while these pages get an SEO boost, so does the content that supports it. It's an overall strategy that brings serious impact to your entire site
- We offer lots of conversion opportunities on our pillar pages, some have been more successful than others, which is why we highly recommend taking a GDD approach to your pillar strategy, so you can iteratively improve along the way with what works for your users
- 1,458 contacts resulted from our download offerings on our pillar pages. Of those, 361 were considered marketing or sales qualified leads, that's averaging 22 a month. How many out there would like to have 22 additional qualified leads each month?
That's just a few of the highlights of the data we are seeing from our pillar pages. We continually review data and learn more about the best approach for our users by using Growth-Driven Design and we highly recommend you do so as well. If you're unsure of how to get started check out the helpful blogs linked at the end of the video (also below). Google is moving toward content strategy and rewarding sites that show high-value content for their users and answering search intent. If you like this video, please share and comment below — we read every single one of your comments. Until next time!

1. College Level Problems
Talk to a number of educators at the college level, and you'll find that many of them report the same problems. The students simply do not know how to write. They do not understand basic rules of grammar, they cannot spell and they don't know how to format a paper.
2. Developing Creativity
Children should be encouraged to write so that they retain this basic skill; however, they also can use their creativity when it comes to short stories, poems and other free writing activities. They might express some of their own emotions and inner thoughts in the writing, or they may completely look outside of themselves for inspiration. Creativity is an important skill because it transcends the disciplines. No matter what field you're in, there are times when thinking outside the box a little bit is certainly helpful.
3. Developing Interests
When children are never asked to write anything, they don't have the ability to learn about and enjoy this hobby. Not all writing has to be formal and in class. They might be inspired to start a journal where they write when they are feeling down. As they age, they could feel a strong pull toward the writing profession. They may decide to choose a study and career path that allows them to be an English teacher, college professor, writing center consultant or a freelance writing. Instilling a love for writing early on can significantly impact them down the line.
4. Preparation for Careers
No matter what field you're in, you likely need to know how to write and read. If you're a lawyer, you often write up legal briefs. If you're in real estate, you have to prepare documents. If you're a doctor, you need to be literate to read your books and understand various conditions. When children grow up and enter the work force without knowing how to write, they are setting themselves up for a future of problems. Writing is connected to the field of communication. When people have trouble writing, they sometimes have issues expressing themselves in words. Writing is one of the beautiful tools that helps to keep people connected in jobs, at school and in their personal lives.
Whether you simply want your child or students to have basic skills or you are preparing them for future endeavors, teaching them how to write properly is a step that should not be skipped.

Olympic officials from North and South Korea met in Seoul on Tuesday but failed to make progress on fielding a joint team for the Asian Games this year and the 2008 Olympics, officials said.
Last year the two sides agreed in principle to field joint teams for the Asiad in Doha, Qatar, in December, and the Beijing Olympics.
But a follow-up meeting on Tuesday, on the sidelines of the general assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) in Seoul this week, failed to make headway.
"North Korean delegates here are not in a position to work out an agreement on the joint team," said Baek Sung-Il, an official of the South Korean Olympic Committee (KOC).
"We just shared the view that both sides should narrow differences. Time is running short and we hope to see an agreement as soon as possible."
KOC president Kim Jung-Kil said he discussed the matter with North Korea's International Olympic Committee member Chang Ung at the Turin Winter Olympics last month.
However Mr Chang failed to show up in Seoul for the ANOC meeting and the IOC executive board session, which follows for three days from Wednesday.
IOC president Jacques Rogge, also in Seoul this week, has thrown his weight behind the joint team plan and said the IOC was awaiting a proposal from North and South Korea.

Happy 30th Birthday Apartment Service
This year, The Apartment Service celebrates 30 years as a specialist agent for fully furnished Serviced Apartments and Corporate Apartments worldwide.
The Apartment Service was founded in 1981 as a specialist department serving executives on extended stays within Expotel Hotel Reservations and went independent in 1992 offering services to a wider range of clients.
"The company developed from being solely a booking agent for serviced apartments in the early days to becoming a leading provider of corporate accommodation solutions by managing corporate apartments and also offering project accommodation solutions" says Managing Director Charles McCrow. "The latter category really is outside the box for most agents as a specialist network is needed to assist with sourcing options, to provide the hand holding required for familiarization and to negotiate the best terms. The property options that best serve these latter categories are mainly from residential stock which has the ability to meet the budgets companies want and also in the specific locations whilst at the same time providing a more comfortable and spacious environment to live in."
"Guest services, cleaning, 24 hour assistance and utilities are bundled into one rate and bearing in mind that the average project accommodation procured in this way is for over 6 months, it always results in a happy employee and a happy management at the same time" continues McCrow
The Apartment Service also launched the apartment brand, Roomspace Serviced Apartments (RSA), in locations where there was enough regular demand to sustain these properties permanently. These areas, such as outside London in the Home Counties, the Thames Valley and Midlands, typically had little or no other offerings at the time. Currently the company operates RSA both in the UK and also in Europe in Portugal and Spain which were added in 2008 and 2009. "We started Roomspace Serviced Apartments in 1996 to provide viable solutions for one month plus and for month by month stays because the requests were there but the product wasn't. We covered over 40 UK locations by the middle of 2007, but expansion plans however were put on hold when the global financial crisis set in," says Charles McCrow, "We are now firmly back on track with our growth targets and will have at least two more European countries to add RSA to this year as well as more UK locations. These RSA properties not only help us to focus our activities in the local markets we open in, but they also crystallise and reinforce relationships with our established European network partners, most of whom are longstanding ones, to deliver our accommodation solutions on a bespoke basis. These partners are actively involved and partnering with us to achieve our European RSA expansion plans as well"
In 2008, the Apartment Service commissioned and produced the first truly Global Serviced Apartment Industry Report (GSAIR) to high industry acclaim and it was updated in 2010. "The first report looked at the questions everyone was asking about the sector, such as what are the different types of product, what size is it, where is it operating and who are the players" says The Apartment Service's Bard Vos, the main researcher for the report. "Our second report looked more closely at the regional differences and gave updated reports on how the sectors were growing there and shed some light on the effects the financial meltdown was having and comments on the local prospects in view of this."
The third edition of GSAIR is planned for distribution in early 2012 will cover the many changes that the sector has undergone during the recession. It will also highlight the trends and opportunities in the new economy.
The Apartment Service website has over 525,000 serviced apartments units available online at www.apartmentservice.com which offers online booking capabilities for thousands of serviced apartment locations around the world at the 'best available' rates. "We linked our web services into the GDS several years ago in order for companies to access the best available or their own negotiated rates. By utilizing the GDS connection, we got live product availability enabling instant reservation confirmations." says Melanie Degand, Director of Sales. "It also means these can be added to any bespoke managed corporate programmes all in one application."
"Booking most serviced apartments is no different to booking hotels as most are operated by major hotel chains or hospitality focused companies and therefore easily available to agents and travel management companies in their normal systems" adds Charles McCrow. "Where specialist serviced apartment agents really come into their own is with longer term stays and in sourcing solutions outside of the box, not just booking what is in the system. Many agents just do not have the expertise or capacity required to achieve this "
"The Apartment Service is continually looking to develop the services we offer in response to the changing demands of our clients" says Melanie Degand. "2011 is going to be an exciting year and the company has some big plans over the coming months."
The Apartment Service was the first winner of the Diamond Buying Business Travel award 'Best Serviced Apartment Provider' in 2007
"We look forward to celebrating our 30th birthday with our long standing clients and colleagues this year and The Business Travel & Meetings Show marks the launch of our anniversary year… and we look forward to welcoming you to stand 250 at the BTMS".
Recently The Apartment Service hosted a journalist from www.thetraveleditor.com for a stay in our new fully furnished and serviced apartments in Madrid, Apartamentos Sandoval. The property consists of 14 fully furnished and equipped one bedroom apartments in the heart of Madrid for stays of one week or more. The review can be read here:

A new concert season is well underway and I've finally got a minute, or weekend even, to post as update. As usual, there's lots going on: a few gigs already, including the best Highlands Swing Band gig ever at Camp Wanakita. The chemistry and the acoustics were undeniable!! Blam!!
But the big thing new for me is conducting the new Highlands Chamber Orchestra! Wow. It's a lot of fun! Glen Carter conducted the inaugural concert in the spring and now I've got the reigns. It's such a fantastic musical and learning experience for me. We're performing Finlandia, the Great Gate of Kiev (from Pictures at an Exhibition, Tushmalov's version), Peer Gynt and a double concerto by Bruch for clarinet and viola. The concert is November 18th in Haliburton village.
Finally, Orchestra Toronto has expanded their season this year to include two additional concert which are repeats of the first and third programs. The year's highlight for me is Tchaik 4 in February (and one of the repeated concerts which is great). For the first concert, I'm included in a piece call Morceau Symphonique from Franck's Rédemption. Not a blockbuster, for sure, but a catchy tune and a chance to play some high stuff on my Eb – in unison with trombones. I'm going to post a separate entry on that piece alone as part of my series of rep for tuba. Keep an eye out for that in the next few days.
Oh — a final thought on Montréal: I was genuinely shocked to find out the Canadian audition yielded no winner. It's gone international. I could have continued to practice for it! Lol

America's energy fortunes have certainly changed over the past dozen years or so. Just that recently, the nation's ability to satisfy its oil and natural gas appetite at home was uncertain, and reliance on foreign supplies seemed likely to increase.
How times have changed! Today, the U.S. is once again a world leader in oil and gas production, even exporting oil for the first time in decades and gas for the first time ever.
This turnabout has happened as solar, wind and other forms of renewable energy gain ground in the U.S., as their costs decline. And combined with gas, they are forcing old coal and nuclear power plants to go out of business.
What have we learned from this shift in energy fortunes? And has U.S. energy policy kept pace with the changes?
In a new Columbia Energy Exchange podcast, I sought out Spencer Abraham, the U.S. secretary of energy from 2001 to 2005, when energy security was a dilemma for policymakers. In fact, Abraham remained worried about the nation's energy outlook long after he left the Bush administration, writing a book in 2010 called "Lights Out" which warned that things could only get worse for producers and consumers.
Now, like many of us, Abraham looks back candidly at mistaken assumptions, and suggests where policymakers can learn from these lessons.
Have a listen, and let me know what you think.

While the overall player base is down compared to its massive launch, Niantic's AR hit is still thriving two years later, with an estimated $1.8 billion in revenue and $70 million last month alone according to analysts.
This weekend, Niantic held its second annual Pokemon Go Fest in Chicago, overcoming last year's connectivity issues and instead highlighting the game's biggest strength: its community. With new features coming every few months and near-weekly in-game events, Pokemon Go has hit its stride in the wake of its second birthday, and it isn't slowing down any time soon.
The Second Time Around
Following an inaugural Pokemon Go Fest plagued by problems, Niantic faced a class action lawsuit and thousands of unhappy fans last year. Of the many goals set for Pokemon Go in 2018, one was obvious: Pokemon Go Fest had to go well.
As CEO John Hanke told us earlier this year, Niantic used the lessons from previous stumbles to make future events stronger. Taking a cue from the end of last year's Go Fest, Pokemon Go events have radically transformed to take place over entire cities in order to reduce cellular network strain, a strategy that has worked well for events in Europe and Asia since last year.
"There's obviously a lot of learnings from Chicago, and we've said publicly that that was a tough day for Niantic, one of the toughest in our history. We learned from that," Niantic CMO Mike Quigley told IGN at this year's Go Fest.
Those lessons seem to have paid off. Walking through this year's event, the problems from 2017 were nowhere to be found. Connectivity was nearly flawless throughout the entire two-day event, and the structure – spread out across a 1.8-mile path in Lincoln Park – led players to points of interest including various themed real-world "habitats" with diverse Pokemon spawns. Hubs for event check-in were placed at the far opposite north and south ends of the park, eliminating lines and potential cellular bottlenecks.
"It's very iterative and I think we take each event seriously in the sense that we try to make it customized a little bit, make sure it's something special so it's not just a cookie cutter rinse and repeat thing," Quigley said. "The layout you see here today with the four habitats and the lounges at the north and south end is actually us reacting and trying to optimize as opposed to just saying 'let's just go brute force and let's try to cram a higher amount of people in a smaller space.' I guess in hindsight it sounds like something that we should have instantly known, but there are just some things you can't test until you try them. The thing I'm proudest of is we just continued to try to push and be aggressive and be innovative."
This year's event saw no major problems and kicked off Niantic's summer with a bang, bringing 21,000 registered attendees and more than 180,000 players to Chicago over the weekend. The event culminated with the release of mythical Pokemon Celebi for attendees and marks another notch in Niantic's belt during a successful 2018 so far.
A Pokemon Renaissance
Looking back a year, Pokemon Go was having a tough time last summer. Even aside from the issues at Go Fest, last summer's events were followed by the introduction of the invite-only EX Raid system, a controversial feature that split the community, as well as a drought of major new content leading into autumn.
But throughout those bumps in the road, Niantic was listening and learning. Existing features have been refined and improved, and in 2018, Niantic has found a much faster, more consistent cadence of updates and monthly events to rally the community. The developer has also hired an ever-growing community team behind the scenes to facilitate better experiences for fans, including the monthly Community Day, which features a specific Pokemon with an exclusive move.
"We've said this before, but we listen to the community a lot," Quigley said. "We're listening, and we're trying to be responsive to not only some of the innovative ideas internally, but to what the fans want. [Pokemon] is an IP that's 22 years old and growing strong, and we feel we're helping contribute to that. If we're not keeping fans happy, then we're going to fail."
Quigley says the development team works closely with The Pokemon Company to make sure new features make sense not just for Pokemon Go, but for the Pokemon brand in general. "It's been a learning curve for both companies. There are some things that we have done in our history that they haven't and vice versa. I think that it's exciting to be growing this product experience together with them, making sure they feel comfortable, that we're doing right by Pokemon overall globally, and that we're also helping to add some fresh energy and fresh experiences for folks."
Speaking to members of the Pokemon Go community, it's clear that Niantic's tactics are paying off.
"There's just a lot more to do in the game than there was two years ago," YouTuber Nicholas Oyzon told IGN at Go Fest. Under the name Trainer Tips, Oyzon started his channel at Pokemon Go's launch and has grown into one of the most popular Pokemon Go influencers, nearing 750,000 subscribers with videos focused on traveling while playing the game and his love of the core Pokemon series.
"When you hear people saying 'oh, you're still playing that game?' they're thinking it's still the same game as it was at launch, and it's really not. There's so much more than that."
"When you hear people saying 'oh, you're still playing that game?' they're thinking it's still the same game as it was at launch, and it's really not."
Brandon Martyn, who publishes on YouTube as Mystic7, has amassed more than 1.6 million subscribers and publishes daily Pokemon Go vlogs. According to Martyn, Niantic has been doing a much better job of keeping the community energized through recent updates.
"When you think of hype in Pokemon Go, you think of the first month of everyone running around, but hype comes from constant things coming to the game, and that's something the game lacked, which is why it saw lower numbers in January or February 2017. It was just really slow," Martyn said, "But once they started bringing out those constant updates – monthly Legendaries, weekly or biweekly events, Community Day events. There's so much that the game gets now that they just didn't do in the past. It's consistent. You always have something to do."
Another influencer, Holly Patterson (PkmnMasterHolly on YouTube) has become a rising star in the community, interviewing players and highlighting the game's ever-improving AR photo functionality in a channel she started just over a year ago.
"The game has changed so much in the past year," Patterson agreed. "Weather, friendship, raids, not to mention new generations of Pokemon, Alolan forms, giving gifts, trading. It's a whole different game."
"Niantic has shown over and over through features like friendship, the way they have reinvented trading, the way they introduced features like the weather system... it really goes to show that Niantic does have a really innovative, creative team behind them to make sure that we continue to be surprised about features," Giorgio Lapian (Reversal on YouTube) told us.
Lapian, who recently crossed the 100 million experience mark in Pokemon Go (five times the game's current level cap of 20 million) covers everything from quick news updates to in-depth features on the art of grinding.
For Patterson, it's the social features that have helped Pokemon Go shine, especially those that foster face-to-face interaction.
"Raids were the thing that got me to start my channel. The very first Tyranitar raid ever released is the first video I ever made. Because as soon as they announced that, as soon as I knew that was going to be a thing, I was like, 'so you're telling me that I'm going to get together all my friends that I've been grinding with forever, and we're going to get to play together? Oh, okay. It's real.' Pokemon Go was always meant to be a game that you play with your friends."
"I think it's definitely something they had in mind from the beginning," Oyzon added. "Coming from Ingress, there's a lot of social features. You have the in-game chat, and I think Niantic understands social aspects add to the longevity of the game."
Stronger Together
While Niantic hasn't always offered social features natively, the community has been able to fill in the blanks themselves. The Silph Road, a thriving Pokemon Go community that began as a potential trading marketplace, has evolved into a research hub for all things Pokemon Go. From determining the probability of in-game events to datamining software updates, the community works together to solve some of the game's mysteries.

I've been away again, and fairly slim pickings, but some good and interesting things. The CD is a standard Legacy Edition of "Steve McQueen"' listed as a US version and I took a punt. Wasn't as advertised but generally I don't moan when this happens and have a little stack of duplicates I'll one day dispose of as a result.
Then a ticket for the 1985 University of East Anglia gig, always nice to have these ticket stubs; a bootleg cassette of "Protest Songs" kindly donated by Tommy from Facebook (I really love these cassettes) and finally a very very scruffy Swoon poster, smelling like it's been in someone's garage in the damp. This is far more significant than it looks and I will have a lot more to say about it before too long.

Ashley Fournier-August 2, 2011 3:53 PM – How can you improve quality while also cutting costs? One of the ways Chrysler Group is working on that is by launching a pilot program to install World Class Manufacturing principles at plants run by our parts suppliers.
Ashley Fourier caught up with Dan Knott, Senior Vice President Purchasing and Supplier Quality, just before he told auto industry insiders about it at the annual Management Briefing Seminars in Traverse City, MI.
Information has been buzzing that a new 8-speed automatic transmission is in the works for Chrysler Group LLC and it is time to get the low down on how this new addition could affect needs from suppliers, availability of parts, and the ability to comply with the new fuel economy rules recently adopted.
We spoke with Dan Knott, Senior Vice President, Purchasing and Supplier Quality, Chrysler Group LLC to find out his thoughts on the subject matter. When we asked Mr. Knott "What will be the challenges for suppliers to provide the parts and components to comply with the new fuel economy rules and produce the 8 speed automatic transmission?", here's what he had to say…

July 18, 2011 , Auburn Hills, Mich. – U.S. News & World Report has named the 2011 Ram 1500 the best full-size pickup. In the magazine's ranking of top vehicle choices, Ram 1500 scored the highest among the eight full-size pickups available to U.S. buyers.
The rankings are based on an in-depth analysis by U.S. News editors of all published vehicle ratings, reviews and test drives.
"This honor recognizes, in aggregate, the consistent, positive reactions we've been getting since we launched the current Ram 1500 model. In developing the Ram 1500, our team worked hard to understand what truck customers want. Ram Truck is committed to being the truck technology and innovation leader, and that commitment will guide us as we continue to improve what is already the most awarded Ram truck ever."
-Fred Diaz, President and CEO
Ram Truck Brand and Chrysler de Mexico
Ram drew praise for its interior comfort, class-leading handling and HEMI® V-8 performance.
"The 2011 Ram 1500's smooth, car-like ride, well-designed and comfortable interior and powerful V-8 engines make it a top pick in its class," said the U.S. News editors.
"When Ram's designers updated the Ram 1500 for 2011, they managed to make improvements to an already-impressive truck," the magazine went on to say. "The result is a full-size pickup truck that many in the auto press say is the best in its class.
""Reviewers love the Ram 1500's ride, handling, power, and interior, even on less expensive trim levels. The Ram 1500 offers many convenient cargo solutions, such as storage cubbies underneath the rear seats on Crew Cab models. Other models offer the RamBox, lockable storage containers built into the truck bed above the wheel housings."
The magazine cites other third-party accolades in naming the Ram 1500 the best full-size pickup:
"The Ram 1500's interior is as good as it gets in the pickup segment." — Edmunds
"The available V-8s are impressive performers, the chassis is well suited to heavy work and the Ram's cabin is a class leader in terms of design, ergonomics and materials." — Edmunds
"Ram earns high marks for ride comfort, creative storage options, and abundant available power. Impressive cabin trappings are a nice bonus as well. Chevy, Ford, and Toyota loyalists would do well to have a look. You may well be won over by this Best Buy." — Consumer Guide
"When towing various size trailers on a short loop, the HEMI-powered Ram acted as if nothing was attached to the rear. It just chugged along, getting up to 60 mph with ease, even with a 9,000-pound Air Stream attached on a simple hitch" — Detroit News
"There are lots of nooks and crannies (more than 40) to hold cell phones, gloves, tools, folders and just about anything else. There are even two floor storage bins that include removable containers for easy cleaning." — Detroit News
"Storage spaces abound: under the rear seats; in the doors, the center console, and the dual glove boxes; and within the new drainable, lockable 'RamBox' bins in the bed walls." — Car and Driver
About Ram Truck Brand
The Ram Truck brand continues to establish its own identity and clearly define its customer.
As a stand-alone brand, Ram Truck is focused on truck customers – how they use their trucks and what features they'd like to see. Whether it's a family that drives their half-ton Ram 1500 every day, a hard-working Ram Heavy Duty owner or a business that depends on its commercial vehicles without fail, Ram is going to be there for them.
For 2012, the Ram Truck brand increases the capabilities of its hardest-working trucks – the Ram 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cab trucks – and adds a new Ram Cargo Van, which expands Ram's reach into the Class 1 segment.
Also for 2012, Ram 1500 – the most-awarded Ram truck ever – and Ram 2500 / 3500 Heavy Duty pickups get new safety, fuel efficiency and convenience features.
Ram Truck has emerged as a full-size truck leader by investing substantially in new products, infusing them with great looks, refined interiors, durable engines and features that further enhance their capabilities.
Ram trucks now boast these segment exclusives:
• Coil spring rear suspension on Ram 1500 for best-in-class ride and handling
• Available RamBox® lockable and lighted bedside storage
• In-floor storage on all Ram crew cabs
• The largest cab in the market – Ram HD Mega Cab
• Standard six-speed manual transmission on all diesel models
• 3,600-lb. towing for Class 1 cargo vans
The Chassis Cab trucks provide customers with first-time innovations and features along with new standards of strength, utility and driveability. Building on Ram Truck's leadership in the heavy-duty pickup segment, Ram's commercial-grade work trucks are built on proven frames and chassis, and engineered for maximum uptime, low cost of ownership, optimum performance and enhanced commercial capability.
Equipped with a choice of engines, including the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 engine or the powerful 6.7-liter Cummins Turbo Diesel, Ram Trucks offer the best powertrains in the industry and are known for their reliability. The 5.7-liter HEMI engine offers an amazing combination of power and fuel economy with 390 horsepower and 20 mpg highway. The Cummins Turbo Diesel-equipped Ram pickup is the only heavy-duty pickup to meet 2012 EPA compliance rules, without the need for a Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF).
Truck customers – from half-ton to commercial – have a demanding range of needs and require their vehicles to provide high levels of capability. The Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 pickups; 3500, 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cabs and Ram Cargo van are designed to deliver a total package.

Gortnamona had 6 points to spare at the end of this competitive senior football game at the Falls Park. The first half was a tight, cagey affair with the lead changing on several occasions. Gortnamona led 0-3 to 0-2Â before a major extended their advantage. We were straight back at them with points from A Slane, D Largey (0-2) to leave the minimum between the sides. A Gortnamona pointed free was followed up with a Ryan Park goal, the ball was hoisted high into the edge of the square and he rose up and flicked it to the net to edge us in front. We extended our lead when Daniel Largey converted a penalty but we failed to consolidate the lead and allowed Gortnamona to immediately respond with a goal of their own to reduce our lead to a single point. Gortnamona then kicked a point to level the game but Anthony Rowntree restored our lead with a point and on the stroke of half time Gortnamona equalised to leave the half time score 2-6 each.
Two early second half points gave us a deserved advantage but Gortnamona raised their efforts as they scored 1-4 to take a substantial lead. We pressed and despite adding another point it was Gortnamona who finished the stronger to take the win 2-9 to 3-12.

Ask a Doctor and Get an Answer to Your Medical Question ASAP
Hi there. Thank you for your question. I will be helping you out with your queries
Has he been seen for this as yet?
Any tests done?
Any other medical problems?
On any medications?
You should definitely take him to a doctor.
Allergies is the first thing that I would rule out.
Antiallergic medications may help him with the symptoms that you are mentioning.
If there had been issues with lactose problems or lactose intolerance that would usually cause a diarrhea more than anything else.
Yes blood tests like IgE levels and looking at the eosinophil levels can help us in knowing if a person is having allergies.
There are other tests like skin patch testing that can help determine whether a person has allergy or not.
No it is not a fasting test
It can be done there and then.

Wormholes, a very interesting subject. Ever since your famous scientist Einstein came up with the theory it's been in movies, tv shows and books. A wormhole is a space where a person can walk into one side or location and come out on another side or location and its done in the fraction of time that it would normally take to get there. It is a known destination on both sides. The ancient civilizations have no knowledge of any wormholes, and there has never been travel from one galaxy to another for a physical species.
In reality, say you stepped out your door and you wanted to go to another planet. For one thing your planet is continually moving in an elliptical orbit around the sun, and the other end is doing the same thing, plus it is moving through space and time, possibly in different directions. So in order to truly have a wormhole, which is not feasible by the way, you would have to have a computer, or millions of computers, hooked to it to adjust the wormhole to the continued variances such as differences of length and time from one end to the other as it would stretch and compact continually. There are too many variables out in space including objects such as other stars, asteroids or other planets that could cross through it because there are many other things out there in the galaxy, not just dark space. You must remember everything moves, everything is in a continued motion. Wormholes thus become an impossibility if they are a part of nature. How would you know the first time you ever found one where the other end of the tube would be? So wormholes are not found in the Milky Way Galaxy or the universe on a natural basis.
On a non-natural basis it is possible to travel in space but not through wormholes. There are beings who are millions of miles away, but not light-years, from their home planet and use a type of electrical magnetic energy to go from place to place. Distances from where they are and where they are going are calculated down to such a minute billionth of a second by a very highly evolved computer that is part organic to get them back home. They travel on a beam, similiar to a laser beam, only it is so much faster than the speed of light as it goes through the dimensional etheric level making it quick to move around. I have told Gregory and Shelina that the fastest thing in time and space is telepathy and you are just starting to learn the aspect of telepathy and what can be done with it. This technology is so far advanced I cannot even explain it with its flow of knowledge and communication. It is used to do a type of space travel but has to be done in a straight line and not around a corner. With those high frequencies and energies, computers for these advanced civilizations can keep track of where it is. It enables them to find their way home but cannot be used for hundreds of millions of light-years, only for distances where they can detect the other end. So with this high tech computer they know the coordinates of the planet because it is kept in the computer, and the computer also is capable of communication on a higher etherical level. That is because it is part organic. As your planet is discovering, certain aspects of organic things are amazing and you are discovering things for your computer of organic memory, organic transisters and more.
They can do almost like 'Beam me up Scottie' but not in a body itself. It goes into an etheric high energy mechanism that is connected with telepathy and you stand in this cylinder or a bigger room size for many to go. The body itself cannot handle it so the body is protected by the cylinder or this room, and the reason for that is there is nothing more complicated than a living entity with a soul. Even your computers cannot even come close to how truly special and unique life is in itself. Imagine Jane, John Doe and Pete wanting to travel back home for vacation and they are in a galactic ship. If there bodies weren't protected in the cylinder, as the body itself is fragile, Pete may come back as a little bit of Jane, and John might have the feet of Pete and the breasts of Jane because a glitch in the etheric telepathic computer happened. So everything remains as a solid during the travel. It is the etheric and telepathic energies that keep this thing moving in a nonphysical plane to travel from one spot to another. We could call it, let's see, telemorphic space travel. Your scientists give names to things all the time. They use it in the large space ships all the time. It would be like your bank deposit in the drive in with the air vacuum tubes, only this is not an air vacuum tube. They are set aside in the ship like your freeway and you can travel to one side of the ship to another faster than the speed of light. I know I didn't explain it deep enough for your third dimensional level but I hope I gave a few insights. We can talk about this again in the future. With much love for your human race.

Composite decking, also known as artificial wood decking, is a mixture of wood and plastic. As it is not a natural wood, every single plank of composite wood is the same as others, suiting the preference of clients who like consistency. One of the more appealing features of composite wood is that it is completely resistant against termite.
Composite wood comes with a groove at both sides of the plank, which results in a slightly different method of installation compared to real wood decking. Due to its composition, composite wood cannot be nailed. As such, each plank is grooved on both sides to allow clipping system for installation. Composite wood installation starts with the construction of aluminium hollow section support, perpendicular to the orientation of the composite decking. Once the aluminium batten is installed, the first piece of composite wood is installed with a clip at its side screwed onto the aluminium batten. Subsequent pieces will follow. Unlike natural wood decking, composite wood cannot be sanded and varnished, meaning that installation is finished once the wood decks are up.

RESIDENTS fear local authorities are 'quietly rushing through' a neighbourhood development plan for Kington.
Voters will head to the polls later this month to have their say on the plan which will influence future development in and around the town.
But some residents were caught out by the announcement that the Kington plan referendum is scheduled for July 25 and not for the autumn as was expected.
Resident Ian Caney said: "Having been informed at the annual Kington town meeting in late May that the referendum would be held in the autumn, it appears that the Herefordshire and Kington councils are quietly rushing things through with just over three weeks to go.
"The cynic in me would ask why quickly organise a referendum date one week after the schools break up for summer and during a traditional peak holiday period.
"There will be a higher ratio of families with children and grandchildren living near the proposed 100 dwellings large development estate on green fields, who may be on holiday."
He said he had been disillusioned with information released to Kington residents throughout the neighbourhood planning and consultation period.
"I would hope and expect that Herefordshire and Kington councils will highlight the referendum and date.
"Posters in the shops, public spaces and especially to the residents in the areas surrounding Kington Park, Old Eardisley Road, Headbrook,and Kingswood Road who will certainly be affected by the proposed neighbourhood plan."
"We will then be allowed a better opportunity for a democratic response from Kington residents."
Kington Town Council representatives said they had no input in setting the date for the referendum.
A spokesperson said it was reported at the annual town meeting that it was expected to be in the autumn but an earlier date has subsequently been announced.
Martin Fitton, neighbourhood plan steering group chairman, said the document would provide a framework for development in and around the town.
"It is now time for the people of Kington to decide whether they support it or don't," he said.
A Herefordshire Council spokesperson said planning regulations stipulate that the referendum should be held within 56 days of the decision document being issued.
"The original prediction of an autumn date was revised when the examiner's report was received sooner than expected," he said.
"There was an existing referendum on 25 July, so in order to save public money, the Kington area was added to this date.
"Polling cards have been sent to all residents on the electoral roll to make them aware, and we will be placing adverts on social media in the run up to the referendum.
"Town and parish councils can also advertise the referendum if they see fit."

Mike Laser shared this article, which discusses dialect and ideas of correctness in speech and writing.
The article is subtitled, "The obligatory lecture that needs to start every English class." While I wouldn't quite go that far, I do tend to spend a class on things like accent, dialect, and the arbitrariness of language at the start of the semester, especially in 105.
To be precise, I actually don't use the term dialect much and prefer to use the term "code," which I think is easier for students to grasp (and leads neatly into the issue of code-switching). A second, larger reason for using "code" is that I also want students to think of non-verbal codes. I usually lead into the discussion by drawing things on the board, such as a house or the sun, and asking how they know what these are. I also will often draw a disassembled stick figure, which they immediately recognize when put together, and which they will tend to gender as male or female with slight additions. These activities and such discussion lay the groundwork for getting students to think about the shared codes they possess; how they access (or lack access to) such codes; how these codes affect their thinking and reading and writing; what sort of codes are being emphasized (or deemphasized) in the writing and reading they do in my class and in their other work in the university; cultural codes they work with and how these affect them; and so on.
In my experience, such explicit discussion of codes (or, in the article, dialects) has been extremely productive for my classes.
What about you? How do you touch upon dialects, correctness, codes, and related matters? And, of course, what did you think of the article?

How Video is Affecting Companies
Nowadays video has become an essential part in reaching your potential customers, as the internet is taking up an increasing part of our daily lives. By the end of 2017 online video will account for 74% online traffic. This is why video, as an additional channel to present your company, can't be ignored.
Not thinking of video as an integrated part of your business marketing strategy will result in a lower competitiveness. And that is not what you want. You can boost your competitiveness by just simply using videos that visualize the message you want your customer to receive.
Above all, the buying patterns of people have changed. There is an obvious increase in shopping online. Online shopping is easy and comfortable, but at the same time it doesn't offer a great shopping experience because not being able to see and touch products limits a customer's experience. Video effectively fills in the gap here. By using videos, you help visualize your service or product which not only increases customer satisfaction but also enables your customer to better engage with the content.
1.8 Million Words is the value of one minute of a video (Dr. James McQuivey of Forrester Research). This impressive number of words would be hard work and very time consuming to put it down in writing. All in all, video is affecting companies in positive ways. You might think, well, that's not enough to be convinced of why companies should include video in their marketing strategies.
Do you need to incorporate Video in your Marketing?

Popsicle molds for healthy homemade ice pops!
Yummy recipes included!
Who doesn't love ice pops? The perfect summer treat! Ice pops have been a staple treat for kids and even adults especially when temperatures rise and there is that urge to cool down from the almost unbearable heat especially if the family has activities and tours in the outback. But before you hit the stores to buy commercially available ice treats, think of the possible health consequences of these chemical laden and sugar-filled ice pops stored in toxic plastic pouches that are sold in major supermarkets.
Why is homemade better?
The majority of ice pops in supermarkets are just composed of water, sugar or high fructose corn syrup, artificial flavours, and artificial colours and flavours which have long been linked to many chronic illnesses. An added threat to these ice pops are the plastic bags and containers where they are stored which may contain Biosphenol-A which poses serious health risks as it is an endocrine disrupter, which means, it mimics or interferes with your body's hormones and disrupts your endocrine system.* The excessive amount of sugars contained in these store-bought ice pops spike up blood glucose levels and can lead to obesity, hypertension, kidney and liver problems in the long run. The chemicals from artificial flavours and colouring in these popular ice treats often get stuck in the gut or remain in the bloodstream causing more harm which isn't worth the few minutes of pleasure and satisfaction we get from the ice pop.
Healthy treats!
Today many mums prefer to make their own ice pops for the kids as a healthier alternative. Aside from being a summer treat, ice pops can also be a good opportunity for babies and kids to be introduced into solid food and different kinds of flavours especially from fruits and vegetables.
1. Kiwi.
Just blend it with passionfruit juice and honey and pour into ice pop pouches or bags. This super fruit contains vital nutrients, including five times the vitamin C of an orange in one serving. This brown fruit comes from mostly from China, Italy and neighboring New Zealand, is rich in vitamin A, K, E and B, potassium, copper, folate, and fiber.
2. Watermelon.
Blend it fresh with its juices and store in our reusable ice bags. According to Live Science*, watermelons are mostly water — about 92 percent — but this refreshing fruit is soaked with nutrients. Each juicy bite has significant levels of vitamins A, B6 and C, lots of lycopene, antioxidants and amino acids. There's even a modest amount of potassium.
3. Strawberry.
Blend with a little sugar and cream (or just water) and fill into reusable ice pop containers. In addition to antioxidants, strawberries have many other nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that contribute to overall health. These include folate, potassium, manganese, dietary fiber, and magnesium. It is also extremely high in vitamin C!
4. Lemon.
Lemon is an excellent and rich source of vitamin C, simply blend the freshly squeezed juice with a little raw sugar and mint leaves for that tangy ice treat. Store and freeze in reusable ice pop pouches. With lots of Vitamin C, an essential nutrient that protects the body against immune system deficiencies. Lemons contain pectin fibre which is very beneficial for colon health and also serves as a powerful antibacterial.
5. Avocado.
With or without milk, the creamy avocado can be pureed with honey or a touch of sugar for an ice pop flavor kids will really love. The versatile avocado is the only fruit that provides a substantial amount of healthy monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). Avocados are a naturally nutrient-dense food and contain nearly 20 vitamins and minerals. Avocados contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two phytochemicals that are especially concentrated in the tissues in the eyes.
6. Banana
Bananas can be pureed with unsweetened or dark chocolate and placed into ice pop container or mould for a creamy chocolatey blend. They contain several essential nutrients, and have benefits for digestion, heart health and weight loss. Aside from being very nutritious, they are also a highly convenient snack. The fiber, potassium, vitamin C and B6 content in bananas all support heart health. In one study, those who consumed 4069 mg of potassium per day had a 49% lower risk of death.***
7. Apple.
Apples should be cut into squares before placing them into the blender with a little water and then placed in ice pop moulds or pouches for a satisfying puree of fresh fruit flavour. According to Medical News Today, apples are extremely rich in important antioxidants, flavanoids, and dietary fiber. The phytonutrients and antioxidants in apples may help reduce the risk of developing cancer, hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease. A group of researchers at The Florida State University stated that apples are a "miracle fruit". They found that older women who ate apples everyday had 23% less bad cholesterol (LDL) and 4% more good cholesterol (HDL) after just six months.
8. Mango
Simply mash soft mango flesh with milk and place in reusable ice pop pouches or containers for a delicious tropical fruit ice treat for baby. Research has shown antioxidant compounds in mango fruit have been found to protect against colon, breast, leukemia and prostate cancers. These compounds include quercetin, isoquercitrin, astragalin, fisetin, gallic acid and methylgallat, as well as the abundant enzymes. The high levels of fiber, pectin and vitamin C help to lower serum cholesterol levels, specifically Low-Density Lipoprotein (the bad stuff).
9. Carrots.
Who says vegetables can't be turned into ice pops? Carrot can be blended with pears or apples with a little water for chewy bits of good vegetable into your kids ice pops. Most of the benefits of carrots can be attributed to their beta-carotene and fiber content. This root vegetable is also a good source of antioxidant agents. Furthermore, carrots are rich in vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin K, vitamin B8, pantothenic acid, folate, potassium, iron, copper, and manganese.
10. Honeydew.
Just add honey and a little water. Cut the honeydew into cubes and blend into satisfying watery purees for freezing in reusable ice pop pouches. The combination of its high water content and potassium levels make honeydew melon effective at maintaining healthy blood pressure levels. As honeydew contains both vitamin C and copper, they promote healthy skin by aiding collagen production and tissue repair.
11. Grapefruit.
Grapefruit is an excellent source of vitamin C, a vitamin that helps to support the immune system. Vitamin C-rich foods like grapefruit may help reduce cold symptoms or severity of cold symptoms; over 20 scientific studies have suggested that vitamin C is a cold-fighter. Vitamin C also prevents the free radical damage that triggers the inflammatory cascade, and is therefore also associated with reduced severity of inflammatory conditions, such as asthma, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. As free radicals can oxidize cholesterol and lead to plaques that may rupture causing heart attacks or stroke, Vitamin C is beneficial to promoting cardiovascular health.
12. Berries.
We have mentioned strawberries but other berries are equally great flavours for ice pops. Just blend them with water or milk and honey and they turn into delicious ice treats rich in powerful antioxidants. Store them in cute animal shaped molds or in reusable ice pop pouches for easy freezing. They may be little, but blackberries, raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, and cranberries are big on antioxidants. The antioxidants in berries can help the body fight oxidative stress caused by free radicals that can lead to illness. Berries protect your heart and brain and slow down aging—and they're a cancer cell's worst nightmare. They're also lower in sugar than most other fruits so less likely to destabilize your insulin.

"Danny Boy" is a ballad set to an ancient Irish melody. English songwriter Frederic Weatherly wrote the lyrics, which are usually set to the Irish tune of the "Londonderry Air". The song was written in a small town called 'Limavady' It is most closely associated with Irish communities.

In 1910, English lawyer and lyricist Frederic Weatherly wrote the words to "Danny Boy" in Bath, Somerset, United Kingdom.
After his Irish-born sister-in-law Margaret (known as Jess) in the United States sent him a copy of "Londonderry Air" in 1913 (an alternative version of the story has her singing the air to him in 1912 with different lyrics), Weatherly modified the lyrics of "Danny Boy" to fit the rhyme and meter of "Londonderry Air".
Weatherly gave the song to the vocalist Elsie Griffin, who made it one of the most popular songs in the new century. In 1915, Ernestine Schumann-Heink produced the first recording of "Danny Boy".
Jane Ross of Limavady is credited with collecting the melody of "Londonderry Air" in the mid-19th century from a musician she encountered.
In 2013, American retired school teacher and technology enthusiast RUTH LILLIAN DITUCCI BARROWS [Wrote / Translated] the lyrics of "Danny Boy" into Spanish in her friend David McNulty's Vacation Rental property at Sharpe Lane in Cudjoe Keys, Florida.
She wrote and duly Copyrighted the Spanish version titled HIJO DANIEL to fit the rhyme and meter of the English version of DANNY BOY.
RUTH LILLIAN DITUCCI BARROWS then gave the Spanish version of the song to a vocalist (who had done a beautiful interpretation of Danny Boy in English) and asked the singer to sing the Spanish version as well. The vocalist sang Hijo Daniel beautifully and was given a contract so that she too could benefit from the eventual professional recording and distribution of the song.

Spanish Lyrics: HIJO DANIEL
Lyrrics by: Ruth Lillian DiTucci Barrows
Hijo Daniel, las gaitas si nos llaman
De valle en valle, y alrededor de aqui
Verano al fin, las rosas pierden petalos
Vete pues yo, voy a permanecer
Pero regresa cuando el clima cambie
O cuando nieve cubra el monte al fin
Estare aqui con sol o con tinieblas
Hijo Daniel, Hijo Daniel te quiero a ti.
Al regresar si ves las flores muertas
Y yo probable morire tambien
Ven buscame a ver donde descanso
Reza un "Ave Maria" por mi
Yo oire tus pasos sur la tierra
Mi tumba dulce sentira calor
Arrodillate y dime que me quieres
Dormire en paz hasta que vengas tu a mi.

When I was a kid, summer holidays seemed to stretch on forever, and the wait between birthdays or Christmases felt like an eternity. As I get older, however, I spend my time constantly surprised at the speed that months and years are flying by. I remember my first day in St Andrews just like it was yesterday. Now, halfway through my very last semester here, I hardly believe it'll be all over so soon.
Having spent my third year abroad, I was happy to come back to St Andrews last September, as I looked forward to making the most of my experience here. However, the words "stress" and "procrastination" have been said more times than I've genuinely enjoyed myself. But what do they mean and how can you deal with them?
The NHS defines stress as "the feeling of being under too much mental or emotional pressure." Stress does not affect everyone in the same way as a source of stress for someone can be a source of motivation for someone else. Moreover, stress in small amounts can be useful, as it pushes you to work hard and do your best in exams or assignments. Although stress appears in different forms and for various reasons throughout the years, a student's final year at university is often considered the most stressful.
In a report concerning stress and student mental wellbeing, NUS (National Union of Students) Scotland conducted a series of surveys to determine the leading causes of stress in students. According to their findings, the primary sources of stress for final year students are exams, assessments, and big projects such as dissertations, which all represent sources of stress for 90 per cent of final year students. These are followed by concern about career prospects after graduation, which preoccupies 75 per cent of final year students.
The majority of my friends in their final year at St Andrews confirm these statistics. Most report their assignments as their most significant source of stress (especially those writing a dissertation), followed by looking for jobs or figuring out what to do after St Andrews.
Andrea Mariani, a fifth-year student in Mathematics, states, "I have fewer lecture times but a lot more independent work, which means that I have to manage my time more effectively in order to meet all the deadlines successfully and plan times to work on my dissertation." Therefore, time management is perhaps one of the biggest challenges of writing a dissertation. Because it's a year-long project, you can feel that you have a lot of time in the beginning, only to become overwhelmed during the second semester as you sense the deadline approaching faster than ever. On top of that, many of us have to deal with figuring out what to do after St Andrews. Graduate school? Full-time job? Travelling? Gap Year?
Kenalyn Ang, a fourth-year student in Comparative Literature and International Relations, shared her worries about her future after graduation. "After St Andrews, it will be the first time that I won't be a student anymore, and therefore it will be the biggest change that I will encounter in my life so far. Being unsure about what to do next, especially when deciding about career paths, can be an additional source of stress. Personally, I'm torn between a few options for what I want to do, and I know it would be a whole lot easier if I had a specific route to take. However, at the same time, my stress is diminished by the fact that going back home to the US for me is not the worst thing that can happen, even if in the near future I'd like to stay in the UK."
The thought of career prospects is indeed stressful for many of us who are unsure about what path to take. There is no denying that some have more resources available than others when it comes to looking for internships or jobs. Mr Mariani points out, "Doing an integrated masters in my Mathematics degree was convenient as I don't need to worry about graduate school, but I do feel stressed concerning my career prospects nonetheless." He adds, "Although I believe that it's a great exercise for students to look for jobs on their own, I do think that the University needs to invest more in the Careers Centre, which, in my opinion, lacks much-needed resources for students."
Therefore, completing final year assignments, applying for graduate schools, or thinking about careers prospects can really take a toll on you mentally, physically, and emotionally. Nevertheless, if you're struggling with a lack of motivation, some tips can come in handy in moments when you're feeling on edge.
You've undoubtedly heard all the generic tips repeated by your lecturers, supervisors, professors, books or guides: eat healthily, get enough sleep, exercise regularly, meditate, stick to a plan, etc. Although there's no denying that they are important, the worst thing you can do is pressure yourself even more to achieve every one of these tasks. Stick to what helps you the most, create your own routine, and organise your work schedule accordingly.
Alice Borsatti, a former Neuroscience student who graduated from St Andrews last year, shared her experience overcoming stress whilst juggling her dissertation and her masters applications. "There's no denying that some days are harder than others, especially when you're dealing with a lot at the same time. However, what really helped me was to assign days dedicated to my dissertation and others for my applications so I could concentrate on one task at a time instead of getting confused, frustrated and mixed up in my work." For those applying for masters, she adds, "Pay attention to deadlines and organise your time accordingly. For example, some deadlines in the UK are pretty late, such as July, which means you can deal with them after you're done with all the work you have to do in your final year."
Additionally, Ms Ang emphasised, "Focus on yourself, and don't let yourself get too affected by what you hear from others and what they tell you about their dissertation, graduate application or jobs. Remember this happens to fourth years everywhere, and that they all survive whatever happens."
Therefore, even though talking about it with friends or classmates can prove helpful at times, don't fall into the trap of measuring your success against the success of others and don't feel obliged to answer questions that add unnecessary pressure to your current concerns.
There's no denying that many of these tips are easier said than done. How can you truly relax when all you're thinking about is finishing your dissertation, working on that very last essay, or waiting for the results of your masters or job applications? These were my thoughts exactly. However, something that truly helped me was thinking of my time off not as time deducted from my work, but as an opportunity to be more effective, overcome writer's block, or keep scrolling through job offers. As long as you're balancing your tasks, an activity like taking a long break, going for a walk on the beach, having dinner with your flatmates, leaving St Andrews for the weekend or partying with your friends will give you the much-needed energy to work harder afterwards.
Some level of stress, or even burnout, is inevitable during the final year at university for most. While this is something you just need to get through, you absolutely need to make up for it with a large period of fun afterwards. There's no denying that jobs or graduate school are a priority for many, but that doesn't mean you can't reward yourself, perhaps with a present to yourself for these last four or five years. In my experience, knowing that I would get to see people that I love after I'm done, and trips and activities I want to do afterwards, keeps me going. Plan some time for yourself for after your exams, dissertations or assignments are done, and guard that time fiercely.
As a final point, Ms Borsatti adds, "Do a bucket list of all the things you want to do in St Andrews before you leave and try to do as much as you can as a reward when you're taking breaks."

Hi everyone!
We're so excited that you're taking some time to learn about us. For our second post, Chef John and I wanted to explain the meaning behind our business name, and how it encourages us to bring the best experiences to our clients. Our name isn't just a name; it's a personalized illustration of who we are and what we love to do. My husband and I have many things in common, but the one that stands out the most has always been our love for food.
John and I both love to cook, and we especially love to cook for others. We make our recipes over and over until they're perfect — sometimes, it can even seem a little obsessive! But a healthy obsession is what makes you fluent in the things you do. In the dictionary, to be fluent is to express oneself easily and articulately. Because my husband and I express ourselves the most vividly through our love of food, our name seemed obvious: Fords Fluent N' Food.
We don't think food, is just something to eat: we believe it's a passion that can bring people together. When family and friends come over for our dinner parties, we always make sure to create a personalized menu. Chef John spends time thinking about what he wants to make, and we toss ideas around between the two of us until we feel confident that we have the best selections for our guests. John has been making menus for years to meet the needs of clients and guests — his knack for making tailored menus helps add a curated flair to parties, events, and even casual dinners. The dishes he imagines complement each other to become a delicious spread of amazing, fresh food that people can't stop talking about!
The idea for Fords Fluent N' Food started years ago. I thought about starting our own business often because I knew how talented Chef John was, and I knew he would do his best work when he was bringing clients together with his creativity. No matter what anyone said about the difficulty of taking this path, I knew it would happen one day — and it did! The vision I imagined for so long became a reality three months ago, and we never looked back. The Fords are Fluent N' Food.
We are fortunate to use our passion and creativity to celebrate our clients' special events every day. It is the best feeling in the world when our clients hug us and tell us we have made their special occasion extra memorable. People will always remember how good the food is! We are beyond excited to see what's in store for the future.
Always cook from the heart,
Natasha Ford

text: An Introduction to the Early Church Fathers On Scripture What can the early church fathers teach us about Scripture? Why read the early church fathers and what can they teach us about the scriptures? It is easy to underestimate the contributions of the past and to exaggerate the wisdom of the present. Can we trust the Christian teachers of the early church period? Did they read the scriptures well? Did their own cultural and religious blind spots prevent them from understanding the heart of the gospel? Today there is renewed interest in the writings of the early church fathers among Protestants, Catholics, and Orthodox. Many are rediscovering the rich treasure of wisdom and insight of the early church scholars, pastors, and teachers who devoted their lives to the study of the scriptures. The early fathers had a tremendous zeal for God and the Scriptures. What we see from a distance of some 2000 years, they saw close-up because of their access to the teachings of the apostles and the disciples of the apostles who also passed on their wisdom and insight. Who are the early church fathers? The age of the church fathers begins with the apostles and the first disciples who had the privilege of personal contact with the Lord Jesus. They are the hearers of the Incarnate Word who kept and handed on the words of the Word. The age of the apostles ends with the death of John the Evangelist at the close of the first century. The patristic period began with some of the fathers who remembered the apostles John or Peter personally. They did not see Jesus in the flesh, but they had a personal share in the transmission of the apostles' testimony. The golden period of the fathers runs from the fourth to the sixth century. Most date the end of the age of the Fathers of the West with the death of Isidore of Seville in 636, and the age of the Fathers of the East with the death of John Damascene in 749. What characterizes a father of the church? What qualified someone to be recognized as a "father of the church"? There are four key characteristics. First, their antiquity. The first church father is Clement of Rome, who wrote his letter around the year 96 AD. The early fathers lived and breathed the scriptures and the teachings of the apostles. They were the disciples of—and the disciples of the disciples of—the apostles. They demonstrate how Christ is present in all the Scriptures, from Genesis through Revelations. [See quotes from the Early Fathers in the box below.] A second characteristic of the church fathers is their holiness of life. They studied, meditated, and lived as faithful witnesses of the gospel. And they exhibited a tremendous zeal for God and the Scriptures. They have much to teach us about reverence for God's word and for study and meditation upon it. A third characteristic is their orthodox doctrine. Their teaching is recognized as sound within the bounds of Scripture and church tradition. They affirm the central truths of the faith, such as belief in the triune God, that Christ was fully divine and fully human, the redemptive efficacy of Christ's death on the cross, the absolute authority and infallibility of Scripture, the fallen condition of humanity, the significance of baptism, the vital importance of prayer and of the disciplined spiritual life. They were not just theologians, but pastors of the church. Most of the early fathers were bishops. As shepherds of the church they spoke to the hearts and needs of those in their care. The fourth characteristic is ecclesiastical approval. They were affirmed as such by the church itself. Within the broader classification of "Church Fathers" eight are designated as "Doctors of the Church": Ambrose, Jerome, Augustine and Gregory the Great in the West; Basil the Great, Gregory of Nazianzus, Athanasius and John Chrysostom in the East. They are eminent among the fathers for the depth of their learning. Reading Scripture is a spiritual activity How did the early church fathers approach the reading of the Bible? They show us that it's not just an intellectual activity, but more importantly a spiritual one. In fact we need to prepare our hearts and minds for the fruitful study and meditation of the Scriptures. Listen to what the early fathers say about reading the Scriptures: Origen, who lived between 185-254 AD, wrote: "The Word of God is in your heart. The Word digs in this soil so that the spring may gush out." Jerome, who lived between 342-419 AD, wrote: "You are reading? No.Your betrothed is talking to you. It is your betrothed, that is, Christ, who is united with you. He tears you away from the solitude of the desert and brings you into his home, saying to you, 'Enter into the joy of your Master.'" John Chrysostom, who lived between 347-407 AD, wrote: "Listen carefully to me..Procure books [of the Bible] that will be medicines for the soul. At least get a copy of the New Testament, the Apostle's epistles, the Acts, the Gospels, for your constant teachers. If you encounter grief, dive into them as into a chest of medicines; take from them comfort for your trouble, whether it be loss, or death, or bereavement over the loss of relations. Don't simply dive into them. Swim in them. Keep them constantly in your mind. The cause of all evils is the failure to know the Scriptures well." The reading of the Bible should impact daily living. The Scriptures must be put into practice and translated into daily experience. We must be living testimonies of the Word of God. Reading the church fathers can be very rewarding, but it requires some serious effort. We have to transcend our modern culture and way of looking at things in order to understand the mind and culture of the early church and its way of thinking. If we are willing to hunt and dig a little in our study, then we will find a rich treasure of wisdom and inspiration from the writings of early fathers on the Scriptures.
