You guys know how the BoS radio signal in Cambridge starts with “to any unit in transmission range” right?

I just realized that they weren’t just yelling into the void hoping for the best, they were trying to contact PALADIN BRANDIS AND RECON SQUAD ARTEMIS in a last ditch effort :(

[thedevillionaire]

If I may be greedy, 3, 4, 6, 9 (yes I am 👀ing Cerb) & 11 for Cerberus and Kia?

Greedy is totally fine! This is a nice bunch, too. :D

3) What song describes your OC?

Cerberus has two main "theme songs": Dance With Fire by Operus, and The Cage by Attrition. He's had more than one Underworldian song written about him, too, though I don't have actual music for those, just lyrics, due to me being a craptacular singer. Only one of these is currently anywhere online: Green Fire

For Kia, Love An Adventure by Pseudo Echo.

4) What song describes your OC and their partner/love interest?

As a couple, they have a few, actually, but the main two are A Touch of Evil by Judas Priest, and Body and Soul by the Sisters of Mercy.❤️

6) If your OC is in a fantasy setting, what profession would they be in the modern day?

Cut time!

This is really tricky for Cerberus, actually, and the only thing I'm confident of is that he'd be his own boss. Possibly the world's hottest occult bookstore owner/operator lol. But I can also see him not working a "regular" sort of job at all, and being the kind of super-successful investor that can live off passive income and do whatever he wants in his (significant) spare time, and that may not be a whole lot different - although with a "mortal plane" skew, of course - to what he does now.

lol maybe he'd be a cult leader. 🤣 He was mortally pyrokinetic, after all. Kia had all sorts of odd jobs when she was mortal. She's been a masseuse, a supermarket checkout chick, a fashion consultant/assistant, a pole dancer, a telemarketer, a typist... She'd probably settle into something customer-service focused that didn't require a degree/formal qualifications.

9) How does your OC handle their physical health? Do they take care of themselves?

Cerberus is excellent at this...until he gets sick. 😂😂 He's very physically fit, in great shape, looks after his physical needs overall extremely well. Eats well, exercises, is very hygiene-conscious. He's kind of a workaholic and should almost certainly take more time off for just relaxation, but that's about as lax as he gets about his general physical wellbeing. And he doesn't often get sick at all. BUT. Partly due to infrequency/unfamiliarity with getting ill, partly just that he's always so resentful that it even happened, how fucking dare this happen, and he's just...patently terrible at accepting his fate about it. 😅 So when the Healing meds don't instantly and completely cure things, he's prone to completely disregarding everything he's told to do, because it's already proved pointless again, as usual, so why not try [insert probably bad idea here] instead. Kia's made things way better for him in this regard, and he's the best of all possible selves with her around, but still. He's a notoriously dreadful patient and he deserves every bit of that reputation lol.

Kia is also very fit, although less hygiene-conscious, and also far more likely to socialise in large groups, etc. She gets sick a regular amount, and is much better at looking after herself when it happens, too. She gets a bit cranky about it at times, sure, but she's pretty accepting of it as just a part of life, and just...deals. Not to say she doesn't enjoy a good spoiling when she's unwell. Cerberus, for all his failings at being a good patient, actually makes a wonderful caretaker.

11) What was your inspiration for your OC?

Cerberus was supposed to be a one-off serve-a-purpose temporary creation and problem-solver. I made too many OCs in early Underworld times and thought if I just had...like half of them killed off in one fell swoop, sort of thing, I could get back on track, haha. Anyway, so, he was meant to just come in, do damage, fuck off.

He...did not do that. 🤷‍♀️ I mean, he absolutely did do what I, um, brought him in for. He just also decided to stick around and take over the place afterwards.

IDEK. I'm just a dumb scribe lol. And I genuinely do not remember what/who inspired Kia, but she was also an unexpected "success story". She was an Incept, brought into the Underworld's Vampirism Caste by another OC pretty much nobody's met here - Vesuvius - and just...went about being Kia. And here we are. 🫠

@ Happy Scribe oh so you can recognise the name Winchester but Pierce becomes "Kia" for some ungodly reason?

World Collision -- Chapter 20

Boy, this has come a long way. Two chapters remain to be posted...I’ll probably have them up before the end of June.

Here we go.

Final Assault

Myra was shaken awake some hours later by a gentle hand. She opened her eyes and looked up from where she was leaning against the cave-like metal wall.

Flare-Up was standing over her, with an expression on her face that looked nothing like the grim determination she’d had every time Myra had seen her before. She seemed sad, which startled Myra into wakefulness.

She didn’t think that Flare-Up could even look sad anymore.

“Get up,” Flare-Up said quietly. “We’re moving now.”

Myra yawned and pulled herself up to her feet, leaning against the wall.

Flare-Up’s expression hardened into the familiar, severe seriousness that she’d had when Myra had first seen her fully aware of her surroundings. “The others are waiting by the barrier leading into the Dark City. We’ve got one shot, and then the Time Barriers won’t let anyone cross. Not even World Jumpers.”

“They can do that?” Myra asked nervously.

“Unfortunately. When time and space as we know it are tearing themselves apart, they get to be even more powerful than even a World Jumper can handle. So watch your step when we go through this time.”

Myra gulped and nodded.

Flare-Up nodded in response, then stepped out of the room. Myra followed after her, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes and feeling more alert now than she did when she’d wandered the streets of the Dark City alone.

The Time Barrier between the Cyber Zone and the Dark City Zone was connected – somehow – to the barrier that separated them from the Dungeon Zone.

Myra thought she saw the Time Barrier leading into the Dungeon Zone move towards them an inch, causing her to jump back a little. Flare-Up saw her move and nodded slightly before moving towards the other barrier.

“Do you all know what you’re doing?” Flare-Up asked. “It’s going to become extremely dangerous when we step through and start, especially if we put what we planned into motion in order to spread their sources thin.”

“We’ve got it.” Nightwing gave a thumbs-up.

“You talked to Batman?”

“I did. I’ll leave it up to him what he does, but I don’t think that he’s going to be able to stay out of things and watch the rest of us scramble around for much longer.” Nightwing looked up at the dark sky. “I know where the Watchtower is, at least. It won’t be hard for them to drop down and join us.”

“Batman’s coming down?” Myra asked in amazement.

“Maybe. We’ll have to see what he decides to do. In the meantime, we’ve got other things to worry about.” Nightwing looked over at the barrier, which was turning an almost deep purple. “The Time Barrier doesn’t look like it’s going to let us cross.”

“Leave that to me.” Flare-Up cracked her knuckles, then motioned for Seeker to join her at the Time Barrier. “We’re going to need to make a hole.”

“Got it.” Seeker grinned. He stood next to Flare-Up. “Ready when you are, little sis.”

Flare-Up’s expression soured, but she said nothing as she held her hands up against the slowly-turning-purple barrier in front of them. Seeker mimicked her movements.

Something bright blue-white pulsed from their hands; Myra stiffened in surprise at the sight of it, but her expression quickly turned to awe as the color of the barrier changed from purple to bright pink as it became more translucent.

“GO!” Flare-Up yelled.

Nightwing and the rest of their eclectic group did not need to be told twice. They bolted for the barrier and passed through it with relative ease before splitting in different directions on the streets that made of the dark, foreboding city in the center of the collided worlds.

“Myra!” Flare-Up motioned with her head.

Myra shook herself out of her awe at the light show and dove through the barrier. She felt almost no push against her at all, which surprised her enough that she went into a roll on the street before she managed to scramble to her feet.

She looked back just as Seeker and Flare-Up scrambled through themselves, only for the Time Barrier to go from transparent to pink to purple in a fast cascade of colors.

Flare-Up took in a breath, then forced her shoulders to relax. “All right. We’re essentially trapped here until the universe collapses or I set off the Continuum Shift, whichever comes first. I have some unfinished business to attend to before then, so let’s hope space holds on until I have a chance to confront the people I need to.”

“Seeker, we have to move.” Nightwing – the only person left behind from when the others scattered – stepped forward and clapped a hand on Seeker’s shoulder. “The others are already starting to move. You ready for this?”

Seeker hesitated, then nodded a little. “Yeah.” He looked between Flare-Up and Myra. “Good luck, both of you. You’re going to need it.”

Flare-Up nodded. “The same to you.”

Seeker remained standing for a moment, then turned and ran down the street, Nightwing falling into step next to him.

Cries started going up around the city, followed by roars and explosions. Myra could see buildings starting to be torn apart and falling to the ground.

“Come on. They’re using my name to get the attention of the people that have been MindTech’d, but it’s not going to last for long.” Flare-Up jumped up in the air, and the hoverboard on her back slipped under her feet. She held out a hand to Myra. “We have to find Airam.”

Space Break

“Wahoo! Come, Guardians! We have names from Very Naughty List to teach lesson!”

“Tch.” Pitch watched as North bounded out of the chamber, squashing elves under his feet to destroy the MindTech on them as Tooth Fairy, Sandman, the Easter Bunny, and Jack Frost followed after him. “I forgot how annoyingly jolly that man is.”

“It’s a good thing.” Kia was walking around the back portion of the ice-covered chamber. “With him back, the wonder and hope at reversing what the Dark Arms have done will hit everyone in the World Collision, regardless of the Zone they happen to be in. We’ve just helped Flare-Up and her allies much more than we could have by being there in person.”

“Hmph.” Pitch tilted his head slightly, then glided closer to where Kia was inspecting the wall. “And what exactly are you looking for?”

“Some clue as to how the Dark Arms began their conquest.” Kia stopped moving and put a hand on the ice wall, frowning. “They may have placed the center of their empire in the Dark City because it is where the worlds merged best, but that doesn’t mean that was where they began the World Collision. It should be the remnants of a dimension somewhere near here….”

Kia leaned in closer to the ice, eyes narrowing.

Pitch rolled his eyes. “Do you really expect to see something through that? Ice doesn’t make for the best—“

Kia pulled back from the ice and pulled her arms back. Cream-colored sparks of some kind of energy coated her clenched fists up to her elbows, and she threw them forward at once.

The resounding crash that followed caused the ice to crack before it fell to pieces, creating a large gap in the ice that led to another area entirely.

“The origins for their World Collision plot starts here.” Kia slipped into the gap and carefully moved sideways through the opening. Pitch followed after her, his thin form not really needing any careful maneuvering on his part.

“What? By merging my world together with theirs?” Pitch asked in a disapproving tone.

“No. By attempting to invade another dimension, but the power of their portal was too strong, and it merged the two worlds together and caused them to collapse in on each other because of the inter-dimensional strain.” Kia shook her head. “They were far too greedy for their own good.”

They came out on the other side of the ice gap, Kia stepping aside to let Pitch step through onto cold, partially melted cobblestone.

Pitch stared. “What in the name of the moon is…?”

“The remains of two dimensions, transformed into an arena they no longer use,” Kia replied. “They set another world so far off-course in its timeline with their arrival that this is all that’s left.” She motioned to the large, circular stone arena, with ice covering the circular center, and the remains of some sort of wood-and-metal scaffolding up on one side.

A straw hat that looked like it was about to fall to pieces sat on the ice.

“It won’t come back when Flare-Up fixes the dimensions, but there might be people out there who still remember this place.” Kia sighed. “Losing one dimension is bad enough, but losing even these…” She shook her head.

Pitch wasn’t one for emotional support. As it was, his gaze went over the melted stone and the remains of something that covered the stones in some places. “Eh. If there is anyone out there, at least they’re not stuck in this mess.” He turned and went back to the hole in the ice. “Come on. Those bozos are going to need someone to watch their backs.”

Kia nodded numbly, then followed after him. There was a look in her eyes that suggested she was elsewhere.

Speed, Shifter…wherever you are, I hope you’re all right.

Space Rip

“I’d almost forgotten how quiet the streets were.” Myra looked around at the abandoned buildings they passed, recognizing some as old hiding spots back when she had been alone. “It…it doesn’t feel right now.”

“Because you’ve been with us for long enough that you’ve forgotten a little what it’s like to be alone,” Flare-Up replied. She leaned forward on the hoverboard, and they started to move even more quickly through the streets towards the large, foreboding tower that stood over everything in the Dark City. She hissed under her breath. “Come on, come on, you purple clone, where are you?”

A loud screech came from one of the nearby skyscrapers, and a blast of purple flames came shooting out from one of the windows.

“Myra!”

“Flash Fire!” Myra raised a hand, keeping the other one on Flare-Up’s shoulder in order to keep her balance. The purple fire was pulled in her direction and absorbed by her form instantly, filling Myra with more energy than she felt she knew what to do with.

“How dare you bring that one with you!” Airam shot down as the fire dissipated. The crazed look in her eyes caused Myra to flinch back a little.

“I am just leveling the playing field.” Flare-Up started to bring up her right hand, then winced and put that hand over her chest instead. Something white flashed. “Not yet! Not now!”

Myra’s eyes widened sharply. She’d seen that flash once before – when Flare-Up had been explaining her plan. Did that mean…?

Airam hovered a few feet in front of them, looking startled. “No…how do you have that power?! The masters said it was never going to happen – they made sure of it!”

Flare-Up growled as the white flash faded. “They only want you to think that.” She held out both hands, palms facing the dark gray sky. “Airam. I know what you are, and who you are. I know what you have become, and what you intend to do with the powers that were granted to you in the beginning.”

Airam’s brow furrowed in confusion, the expression mimicked by Myra.

“Flare-Up, what are you—“

“Scribe told me.” Flare-Up cut Myra off. “And now I am simply going to follow through.” She took in a breath, then started murmuring something that didn’t sound anything like English.

The white glow started up again, but it quickly changed to a dark, dark blue as tendrils of light rose from the palms of Flare-Up’s hands and reached out towards Airam.

Airam started backing up slowly, then turned and prepared to bolt, only for the tendrils to latch onto her arms suddenly and pull her back, circling up her arms. Myra lost sight of the tips under Airam’s hair.

Airam came to an abrupt halt, arched her back, and screamed to the heavens as something in the tendrils of light pulsed back towards Flare-Up.

Flare-Up cut the tendrils off, letting them dissipate and take the whatever-was-pulsing thing in them along with it.

Then she raised her Buster and fired a blast of orange energy that was as big as her head, sending Airam flying into another building.

Flare-Up lowered her Buster and almost fell forward, but managed to regain her balance. “Right. That’s taken care of.”

“Wh-what did you do?!” Myra yelped. “Where did those light-things come from?!”

“Instinct,” Flare-Up murmured in reply. She shook her head. “Don’t worry about it. It probably won’t happen again.”

“Probably?! Flare-Up, what did you do?!”

Flare-Up half-turned and glared back at Myra with such a fierce gaze that it caused Myra to flinch back. “I took her ability to World Jump, okay?!”

Myra’s eyes widened sharply. “Wha—“

“Impossible!” Ariam stumbled out from the crater she’d made in the side of a building. “You can’t do that – that’s an ability that can’t be taken from—“

“Well, I just did, and I don’t know how I know,” Flare-Up replied shortly. She pointed the Buster at Airam again. “We need to get inside the tower. Now.”

Airam held up her hands, but the movement was slow. There was something in her eyes that seemed to say she was more tired. “You know there’s only one way in for people like you. If you want to get in, grab a cart and take the Trials.”

Myra stiffened, her grip tightening on Flare-Up’s armor. “No…” She gulped loudly.

Airam cackled. “Oh, it seems your friend already knows what coming! Did you try them and get caught?”

“I heard rumors, nothing else!” Myra yelped. “I never went near that place, and for good reason!”

“Well, you’re going there now! You want to see my masters and put an end to them, you’re going to have to march yourself right up there and into their hands.” Airam looked at her hands, as though there were fingernails on the tips of her white-gloved fingers. “Of course, since your friends have all managed to draw out their expendable minions, that just leaves the ones they’ve always had with them.” She looked over slyly. “Are you sure you want to face up against them? Hmm?”

Myra made a nervous noise and shook her head quickly as Flare-Up’s shoulders stiffened at Airam’s words.

Airam cackled again. “I’d like to see you try, but seeing as I’ve failed, the masters probably won’t let me see. The least I could do is get you your ride.” She grinned a little too widely for a normal human face. “So?”

Flare-Up said nothing. Myra looked between the two of them, her nervous energy starting to act up and cause purple sparks to fly from her shoulders.

“Myra, steel yourself,” Flare-Up said crisply. “Do it.”

Airam threw back her head and howled with laughter. “With pleasure!” She made a great, waving arc with one hand, sending sparks of purple flames into the sky, lighting up the surrounding area with strange runes that exploded into nothingness. “Expect your ride in a matter of minutes. I am going to make myself scarce. Loyal to the masters I may be, but I do not intend to die before you do.”

With that, Airam moved back into the shadows between buildings and disappeared from sight.

Myra gulped loudly again as Flare-Up’s hoverboard disappeared from under their feet, dropping her and Flare-Up to the ground. “Wh-what have you done?”

“What needed to be done.” Flare-Up rolled her shoulders as Myra’s hands slipped off them. “According to what you know, the Trials are simply a series of challenges, correct?”

Myra nodded quickly. “Th-that’s what I heard, yeah…but are you sure we’d be able to handle it without getting caught?”

“I’m certain.” Flare-Up looked at Myra. “The Continuum Shift won’t let us fail. Not now.”

Myra blinked, then looked down at Flare-Up’s chest and sucked in a breath when she saw the small, pulsing white light that seemed to come from somewhere under the other World Jumper’s armor. She looked back up at Flare-Up’s face. “That’s what you used to take away Airam’s power, isn’t it?”

Flare-Up’s right hand reached up and hovered over the white light. “That seems…more than likely. It’s bought us more time before it will force me to unleash it, but how much…” She shook her head. “It will happen in the tower, at least.”

Something started rattling on the street corner ahead of them, and Myra and Flare-Up looked over.

A cart of some kind – purple and black, with no visible driver – came around the corner and stopped at the end of the street. It looked like a covered wagon of some kind, but the canopy over the back was transparent.

“That’s it.” Flare-Up strode towards the cart. “Come on, Myra. It’s time we finished this. For good.”

Myra stared at Flare-Up’s back, wondering how in the world she could be willing to go back to her tormentors, then shook her head and quickly ran after her and scrambled up into the back of the cart in time with Flare-Up.

Flare-Up had said that they were going to be partners. It wouldn’t be right for Myra to just up and abandon her at the last moment.

Time Break

Myra fidgeted in the back of the cart as they came close to the base of the tower. Something about Flare-Up’s calm felt��too calm. “Flare-Up?”

Flare-Up turned her head away from the empty streets and inclined her head slightly. “Yes?”

“Have you…” Myra paused. “Have you participated in tournaments before?”

Flare-Up blinked at the question, then looked up at the transparent canopy above them. "I have. Most of them involved teams of Pokémon being pitted against each other, and I have competed in a Smash Worlds Tournament, as well." She looked back with a tired, serious expression. "But I haven't been involved in anything like what has been described to me here. Why do you ask, Myra?"

Myra blinked a couple times, then looked away – back the way they had come. “Well…I was kinda wondering if you had any experience—“

“According to what I’ve heard you and the others say about this—“ Flare-Up motioned to the tower they were swiftly approaching—“it’s nothing like any normal tournament. It’s a death trap. People go in, and they don’t come out.”

Flare-Up’s voice had taken a dark tone that caused Myra’s eyes to widen before she flinched at the last sentence. After a moment, she gave a hesitant nod. “I…guess you could put it that way, yeah. The Trials aren’t something that I’ve ever thought could be beaten.” She looked at Flare-Up. “But do you think there’s a chance?”

Flare-Up nodded sternly. “We’ve weakened their numbers and strengthened our own. I think we’ll be able to handle whatever lies beyond those doors.” She glared up at the tall, black tower that was ahead of them, and the doors that were swiftly becoming more visible. They looked like they were either made of ancient stone or metal, with carvings of knights fighting against dragons with nothing but swords.

Myra hesitated. "Flare-Up, I don't know if you should have chosen me to go with you for this."

Flare-Up blinked. “What makes you think that?”

Myra looked at Flare-Up in surprise at the question. "W-well, I'm not as strong as Captain America or as fast as-"

"Do you really think that's the only thing that matters?" Flare-Up frowned disapprovingly, causing Myra to flinch again. "What matters is that you and I can work together. I haven't been able to fight side-by-side like this with most of the others we've managed to rescue, and even then, you can read my movements better than they can in a fight."

Myra looked at Flare-Up in surprise at that. "R-really?"

Flare-Up nodded, a somewhat demonic smile working its way across her face. The expression made Myra shudder a bit. "The Dark Arms won't know what hit them."

With that said, the doors in front of them slowly started to open, and Flare-Up returned her attention to the tall tower in front of them as her face shifted into a mask of grim determination.

Our little Kia Soul decided to pick the week we are moving to need its first trip to the mechanic, and while the problem appears to (hopefully) be no worse than a leaky tire that can probably be fixed by our actual move-in date, it still lead to a frantic, high-stakes, team puzzle-solving session in our friends' living room tonight as we tried to figure out how to get the car to the mechanic (not open until tomorrow, when the tire would be completely flat), an air compressor to the car (Scribe has one for resin casting, but it's at our apartment, and the car is in our friends' driveway), me to work in the morning (I have to be at the museum at 8:30am tomorrow and have trouble waking up early for chronic illness reasons, so the longer route by public transportation is out), and the chicken across the river without it being eaten by the fox or conversely, eating the bag of grain.

(Our friends are extremely kind and managed to wrangle an extra car from a parent, meaning they could lend us theirs until this minor fiasco is resolved, but seeing as we were hoping to pick up a window AC unit for the new place tomorrow morning and instead have..... this..... going on I am nonetheless dying a little. Everything happens so much)

Từng bước đơn giản để thực hiện SEO hiệu quả năm 2020

Khi nói đến tối ưu hóa các trang web mới, một số doanh nghiệp có thể bị đe dọa bởi lượng thông tin ngoài kia. Và thông thường, nếu họ không có sự giúp đỡ của một chuyên gia tư vấn hoặc SEO tại nhà có kinh nghiệm, họ sẽ không làm gì cả.

Hôm nay chúng tôi sẽ xem xét một số điều dễ dàng bạn có thể làm để giúp trang web của bạn bắt đầu đi đúng hướng - ngay cả khi bạn không đủ khả năng để giúp một chuyên gia giúp bạn.

Khái niệm cơ bản về SEO cơ bản

Một số yếu tố quan trọng nhất của tối ưu hóa công cụ tìm kiếm xảy ra trên trang web của riêng bạn. Bạn có thể nghe nhiều về xây dựng liên kết (chúng ta sẽ bắt đầu ngay lập tức), nhưng xây dựng liên kết mà không cải thiện tìm kiếm địa phương sẽ không hiệu quả. Dưới đây là một số tính năng bị bỏ qua nhất của trang web của trang web mà bạn nên đặt trên các trang của mỗi trang web của mình, bao gồm và đặc biệt là trang web của bạn. Tìm hiểu về TF và CF trong một website như thế nào tại đây.

Nguyên tắc vàng của tối ưu hóa trang web

Trước khi chúng tôi bắt đầu, một điều cần lưu ý khi sử dụng các yếu tố SEO sau đây là tránh làm hỏng chúng. Bạn có thể bị cám dỗ để nói quá nhiều từ trên trang của bạn, nhưng đó không phải là mục đích. Trên thực tế, Google đã áp đặt các hình phạt quá mức đối với các trang web nhắm mục tiêu quá nhiều từ khóa trên một trang. Vì vậy, khi nói đến tối ưu hóa từ, chỉ cần đơn giản - nghĩ tối đa năm từ hoặc cụm từ phù hợp cho mọi trang trên trang web của bạn và phục vụ chúng. Nếu bạn không chắc chắn nên sử dụng từ nào, hãy thử nhập từ khóa vào Công cụ Google Keyword AdWords hoặc sử dụng google trends để nhận đề xuất. Hoặc, nếu bạn thực sự muốn tham gia nghiên cứu từ khóa, hãy xem Hướng dẫn nghiên cứu từ khóa của chúng tôi - Phần I và Phần II.

Thẻ tiêu đề

Trong trang web Tối ưu hóa thẻ tiêu đề SEO Thẻ tiêu đề của trang trên trang web của bạn cho công cụ tìm kiếm biết trang đó nói về cái gì. Nó phải có 70 ký tự trở xuống và bao gồm công ty hoặc nhãn hiệu và các từ khóa được liên kết với trang cụ thể đó. Thẻ này được đặt giữa các thẻ <HEAD> </ HEAD> gần đầu mã HTML cho trang. Xác định SEO Meta Mô tả Tìm kiếm trang web Mô tả meta trên trang của trang web của bạn cung cấp cho bạn ý tưởng tốt hơn về nội dung của trang. Vẫn còn nhiều tranh cãi về việc liệu các mô tả meta có thể giúp đặt từ khóa hay không. Bất kể, bạn muốn viết mô tả nhận xét  như thế nào và muốn tối ưu tốt với đối tượng người trong tâm trí nơi từ khóa nằm trên trang, vì nó mô tả nội dung của kết quả tìm kiếm. Hình ảnh trên cho thấy cách các thẻ tiêu đề và mô tả meta xuất hiện trong kết quả tìm kiếm của Google. Bạn có thể thấy rằng các từ khóa được sử dụng bởi người dùng (trong trường hợp này, từ KISSmetrics: KISSmetrics) được Google tin cậy trong thanh tiêu đề và mô tả meta. Đây là lý do tại sao bạn nên sử dụng chia sẻ hoặc từ khóa và từ khóa của bạn trong tiêu đề và mô tả meta - nó giúp kết quả tìm kiếm của bạn mà không cần tìm kiếm những từ đó.

Sử dụng WordPress?

Nếu bạn sử dụng WordPress trong tên miền của bạn, bạn rất vui. Thêm thẻ tiêu đề và mô tả meta vào trang của bạn giúp dễ dàng sử dụng các plugin miễn phí như All in One SEO, Platinum SEO và SEO của Yoast. Bạn cũng có thể nhận đề xuất SEO bằng cách sử dụng các plugin cao cấp như Scribe SEO.

Internal Links – Link building isn’t just reserved for external sites linking to your website. You can help search engines learn more about your website by internally linking to other pages on your website within your content. As an example, this blog post utilizes internal links when linking to other posts on the blog.

Header Tags – This blog post utilizes three different levels of HTML header tags that help break the content into sections as well as let search engines know more about what each section of content is about. The <H1></H1> tags surround the post title – there should only be one set of <H1></H1> tags per page. The <H2></H2> and <H3></H3> tags surround subheadings on the page – there can be multiple instances of both. Using header tags helps both readers and search engines break up your content into digestible sections.

How to Develop My “Arch”

An “arch”, is any writer’s guide, teaching you how to write a medium (not a genre, a political aim), for law in courts, the space between observation, and rules, the components and rules combined between observation and rules, a secondary state wherein the external and the rules are stripped from view of argument.

Secrets The Cell Phone Providers Will Not Want You Learn

Principles are constant, but techniques change and evolve continuously. The principles of physics, of math, movement, of flight never can be different. The more we find out about these topics and much more we grasp the principles you will also to apply them the more we can turn the world around us.

The collection of phone functions includes Auto Redial, Vibrate Alert, a single Touch Keying in. There is also a hands free speakerphone unlock icloud together 400 contact phone guideline.

This is a tough someone to explain. Any time you go upstairs, take a look and tell me if your knee goes over your lower leg? Mechanically, the knee can more than the front of the foot, but we are taught just the opposite. However, in a competent moving body, it is suitable because everything else is working right. In GPCs, it might be a hardcore call. If for example the heel placement is correct and "drive" is initiated "through" the heel, then there ought to no pain in the quadriceps tendon, if and when, the knee goes over the toe.

Safety main. Safety should be your biggest problem. Finding a secure car is rather easy these days as all cars are provided with a safety rating. The inexperienced driver has high risk while off the mark and will require better immunity. Look for a vehicle that has gotten an Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Pick Safety Award such while the new Kia Forte.

Mark property in both an obvious and less than obvious fashion. Even if the criminal manages to obtain rid of the obvious marks, this individual well miss the hidden ones. Large items such as trailers may postcode or some other mark welded onto all. Metal items can have permanent marks scribed or punched into them. Property can be engraved or have electronic tags fitted, while small items can be marked with ultraviolet pens or decorate. Keep a detailed inventory of your property, including records of serial numbers, part numbers and model numbers, with a photograph every single valuable item and the prospects of getting your property back increases dramatically.

The same is true for our posture. Just as we age we drop. That happens because certain unused muscle groups turn into "couch potatoes" . Need awakening and activation. Other muscles become tight and rigid. They stretch but. Joints that have operated in limited range of movement can mover further. Just don't expect an instant reversal to a long happening. Using the same principale as recovering activity levels, one can gradually recover range to move and stand straight another time. But why should I bother?

Imagine positive aspects to equipping our kids with these GPS phone watches. Our children are usually able defend themselves against violence and bullying at school thereby reducing suicides and injuries. They will be that can quickly need emergency help when they observe crimes being committed or accidents happening. They'll be able to send their SOS directly to law enforcement agencies.

Fourth, good door security requires the actual alarm. Most alarm systems place magnetized sensors inside of frame. These activate the alarm generally if the door is opened. But what if intruder breaks out the windows and climbs in through the outlet? Doors using a large window can be employed without leading to vulnerable. This is accomplished using a glass-break sensing unit. The instant the glass is broken, the sensor responds to requirements by activating the make someone's hair curl. The glass-break sensor might be your first warning that someone is hoping enter home. Activation within the alarm might be enough to scare off an intruder.

  TÔNG ĐỒ CẦU NGUYỆN, NGÀY 30-07-2020

CÙNG CHÚA GIÊSU BUỔI SÁNG

Bắt đầu ngày mới, con vui sướng có thêm ngày nữa để nuôi dưỡng sự tốt lành Chúa đặt trong con. “Bởi vậy, bất cứ kinh sư nào đã được học hỏi về Nước Trời, thì cũng giống như chủ nhà kia lấy ra từ trong kho tàng của mình cả cái mới lẫn cái cũ.” (Mt 13,52). Xin Chúa ban cho con sự khôn ngoan. Khôn ngoan của việc khám phá ra kho tàng được trao cho con trong mọi lúc. Xin dâng mọi việc con làm hôm nay, hiệp thông với ĐGH trong ý chỉ cầu nguyện của tháng này, cho các gia đình được đồng hành trong yêu thương, tôn trọng và hướng dẫn. Sáng Danh Đức Chúa Cha….

WITH JESUS IN THE MORNING

As this new day begins, the joy of having another day to grow in kindness is born in me. ” Then every scribe who has been instructed in the kingdom of heaven is like the head of a household who brings from his storeroom both the new and the old” (Matthew 13:52). I ask God to help me able to put this wisdom into practice. Wisdom of discovering the treasure that is given to me at every moment. I offer the works of this day in union with Pope Francis, for his intention for this month, that families may be accompanied with love, respect and guidance. Glory Be…

CÙNG CHÚA GIÊSU TRONG NGÀY

Mỗi người đều có kinh nghiệm rất riêng về tình mẫu tử của Đức Trinh Nữ Maria. Trong những lần xuất hiện của Mẹ, Mẹ cho thấy sự dịu dàng và quan tâm dành cho chúng ta. Đức Mẹ hành động kỳ diệu thông qua ân sủng được ban tặng bởi chính Thiên Chúa, như trong lớp áo choàng tilma của Đức Mẹ Guadalupe, nơi tràn đầy ý nghĩa và chứa đựng một phép lạ huy hoàng. Ước gì con có thể học biết cách nhìn ra các dấu hiệu của Mẹ Maria và học hỏi từ Mẹ cách tin tưởng vào mầu nhiệm của Thiên Chúa và tin vào sự quan phòng của Chúa trong cuộc đời con.

WITH JESUS DURING A DAY

Each has his own experience of the maternal love of the Virgin Mary. In her apparitions, the Virgin Mary shows her tenderness and concern for us. She works wonders through grace bestowed on her by God himself, as in the mantle of Our Lady of Guadalupe, which is rich in meanings and a splendid miracle. May I know how to accept the signs of Mary and learn from her how to trust in the mystery of God and in his work in my life.

CÙNG CHÚA GIÊSU BUỔI TỐI

Con nhắm mắt lại và hít thở thật sâu. Ngay giây phút này con cảm thấy thế nào? Con cầu nguyện cùng Chúa Giê-su, xin chỉ cho con thấy những chi tiết nho nhỏ xảy ra trong ngày. Những khoảnh khắc nào có ý nghĩa đối với con? Con dừng lại đôi phút để dâng lời cảm tạ, và suy nghĩ về những điều ấy. Ngày mai, con bắt đầu ngày mới bằng việc nhớ lại những yêu thương mà con đã nhận được, để từ đó con có thể trao ban cho người khác. Kính mừng Maria…

WITH JESUS IN THE NIGHT

Close your eyes and take a deep breath. How do you feel in this moment? Ask Jesus to show you the little details of today. What moments were significant for you? Stop a moment to give thanks and meditate on those details. Begin tomorrow by remembering the love you have received, so that you can give it to others. Hail Mary…

Crashing a Ferrari Party

Okay, so I thought this column was going to be about something else. When I arranged to take a 2019 Mazda MX-5 Miata and a Genesis G70 3.3T AWD to a Ferrari club track day at Virginia International Raceway, I hoped to prove a thesis that those two cars aren’t the rolling roadblocks you’d expect. Instead, I got a lesson in the concept of automotive evolution and the quantifiable value of history.

The Miata’s been around for 30 years, with Mazda tinkering and perfecting it all along. Genesis split from Hyundai and debuted as a stand-alone company less than four years ago, in 2015. Which makes the overall excellence of the G70 all the more impressive. But the Miata demonstrates how great a car can become when it incorporates a decade or three of experience.

On a crisp Virginia morning, I take my first laps in the G70, allowing myself the crutch of all-wheel drive to compensate for any early-on goofs. The G70 3.3T isn’t posited as a track machine, but any sport sedan in its competitive set should be able to handle a trip to a road course (and indeed, there’s a white Alfa Giulia 2.0T in our run group).

The Genesis looks good on paper: 365-hp twin-turbo V-6, big Brembo brakes, and Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires. I’m still worried about how it’ll fare in this crowd, which includes not just Ferraris but plenty of Porsches and Corvettes. I keep my eye out for blue flags, which the corner workers wave when they want you to get the hell out the way of a faster car.

But one of the only cars to chase me down is a black Camaro SS, which I recognize as my friend Dennis’s ride for the day. Normally, track etiquette dictates that you move over on a straightaway, point your finger out the window, and maybe slow down a bit to allow the pass. And I do all of that, except the part about slowing down. We’re at 125 mph by the time he pulls alongside. Yeah, the V-8 muscle car caught the V-6 Korean sedan, but it wasn’t a gimme.

Back around at the front straight, feeling confident, I go for the brakes at 135 mph. There’s an initial bite and then . . . not much of anything, like the pedal is sinking into a loaf of Spam. Fortunately, there’s plenty of runoff on this corner, so I scribe the widest tire-shredding arc I can and then go off gently into the dirt. Huh.

Back in the pits, I learn that Car and Driver had the same thing happen here with the G70’s corporate cousin, the Kia Stinger, on the same corner. The culprit was the soft, U.S.-spec brake pads. Kia swapped in one fitted with Euro pads and all was good. Which raises the question: Why not use the Euro pads in the first place? I blame Brexit.

WIP Folder Tag Game

yoinks from @kianlon

I saw this and I thought I’d give it a go, since I’ve got a few of these kicking around....

Fellow writers out there! This is a game for each one of you who needs some love and support for stories in progress. How to play:

Open you WIP Folder.

Post the title for each wip story in there, with a little explanation/quote

Can your readers ask questions about your wips?

Tag as many fellow writers as you like

Have fun!

Links to my AO3 where applicable, although I do have an FF account under FourthWallBreaker if you want to see the One Piece AU that I mention in the last section, as I haven’t posted it to AO3 yet. Don’t be afraid to ask me questions about these ones if you’re curious!

Mental Bonds -- My current creative focus. A Final Fantasy VII AU, this story came from an idea that popped into my head last year -- what if the puppet-connection that Sephiroth had over Cloud was just a telepathic link, and they could communicate through it? Then throw Zack in there for some added shenanigans, and the original plot of the compilation goes sideways. :3 Mental Bonds is a sequel, as I wrote the Crisis Core plot as Mental Link last year. Currently working on chapter 28, posted chapter 9 yesterday. I like the steady progress that I’m making, and the buffer of chapters between me and my readers gives me plenty of room for breaks!

Fairytale -- A Pokemon fanfic, the third in a series following a half-Mew girl who was a runaway Rocket experiment. Crystal, after winning the Hoenn League, travels to Kalos for a much-needed vacation and ends up getting pulled into a series of events she wasn’t exactly planning for. I ran out of some steam on this one because Kalos as a whole is a region I haven’t spent that much time in, so I’m hoping to get this one back on its feet after taking a bit of a break. Granted, it’s been sitting for about a year, so...

Various Gravity Falls-related fics -- These are technically in multiple documents, but I’m lumping them together because for the most part they’re MEANT to be short. I’ve got a one-shot with my AU’s Ford meeting Macbeth from Gargoyles, a crossover idea with Steven Universe that I may never touch on (never watched the cartoon; not sure if it’s gonna be very high on my to-do list anytime soon), and some drabbles and short stories related to my AU (and not related!). Some of those short stories are supposed to be collabs with @howtotrainyournana, but because we’ve been so busy with the Thing Called Life, I’m not seeing them getting written anytime soon. We hope to get to them at some point, but no guarantees that it’ll be anytime soon, y’know?

Maria’s Adventures fics -- If anyone has been keeping up with me and my writing, you guys know I’ve got a soft spot for an OC of mine. A portal-making, dimensional-traveling character, to be precise. Most of these stories will be tied in with the Gravity Falls AU that I created, mostly because she travels with that AU’s Ford, years after his Cipher was removed from existence. I’ve got some one-shot ideas that would happen at any point across Maria’s timeline, a trip to Alola, potentially a FFVII fic (not the Mental Link series), and a return to one of my childhood fandoms with a Transformers fic idea that I’ve been playing around with. These are also within multiple documents.

Miscellaneous fics -- Again, multiple documents, but I’m lumping them together because otherwise this post is going to get long. I’ve got a few OCs that I created and wanted to mess with when I was in high school, but their stories have gone unwritten for years. I might go back to them someday, but I’m not sure. Maybe Erin, Morph, Rush, Shift, and Scribe/Kia will make an appearance someday, but no guarantees on that one yet. I’ve also got a Danny Phantom AU that I started in college (again, haven’t finished or posted) where Sam found a lamp and Danny was the genie inside it. Shenanigans would have gone off from there, obviously. And I’ve got a One Piece AU where Devil Fruit abilities were actually the result of magical accidents (ie, random spells firing off, Ace being crafted out of a giant bonfire, etc), and Zoro was an actual wind demon/former human who got bound into service to Luffy. I might go back and play with it a bit more, but it’d only be written as a series of one-shots if I’m entirely honest.

As for who to tag...hm. Well, you guys aren’t required to do these, obviously, but why not tag @impishnature and @azapofinspiration and leave it up-for-grabs for anyone else? :D

Thursday Jan 17

A very busy day, mostly spent getting organized. Your scribe walked down to Oistins shortly after 8am to get a few breakfast items - milk, bread, jam and the like.

After a leisurely breakfast the rental car arrived. A similar Kia Picatto  to last year, only this one is nearly new and sports a fancy yellow strip on the dash - apparently it makes the car go faster.

Next up was a return trip to Oistins for a more fulsome grocery shop. The store was completely out of tonic water, which is good as we were asked to buy soda.

We arrived back at MBV in time to go next door to the Butterfly for happy hour and of course flying fish. The hotel was closed for 5 months for renovations, though what they did isn’t immediately obvious. The restaurant has new tables and chairs. The roof on the east side has been extended and there is glass along the ocean replacing the white picket fence. The fish was as good as ever, the beer just as cold and the service just as slow - if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

A notable addition to the bar is a 3 litre bottle of Mount Gay Black Barrel on prominent display. Sadly, it’s a promotional item, made of coloured plastic and contains no rum.

After lunch, the boys headed back out to buy soda water. Somehow they “got lost” and ended up at the Mount Gay store. There’s nothing new, other than higher prices than last year and everywhere else on the island.

To avoid the traffic in downtown Bridgetown an interesting route was taken that eventually got us to the ABC Hwy. The direct route would have been much faster, but where’s the fun in that?

Coming through Worthing we noticed a new sign for the Caribe Beach bar. Has it re-opened? This required an immediate detour for further investigation. The bar has indeed re-opened, under new management, and back to the way it was before the italians ruined it. “Coast is toast”, to quote a patron at the bar - a former resident of Orleans.

We had a quick Banks and chatted with a fellow who is a musician and has played everywhere, including the Russell Hotel in Smith’s Falls.

Upon return to MBV, we had time for a swim, a cocktail (or two) and then it was off to Naru for dinner. The ladies ordered chocolate martinis, while the gents naturally went for the rum manhattan. All were disappointing. They have a new bartender who does not appear to know which colour vermouth goes into a Manhattan. Until we encounter their former barkeep again, the secret of the perfect rum Manhattan will remain elusive. Fortunately, the meal was every bit as good as ever - Proper Pork, Caribbean Sun, Rooster, Fish & Chips and Constitution were ordered -to the reader who has not yet visited Naru, these are maki rolls, a type of sushi. Just the right amount for the four of us.

Back to MBV, a quick nightcap and an early night for all - before 10pm.

Kiefer Ravena does homework, drives to Antipolo to scout Phoenix

ANTIPOLO – Kiefer Ravena has not just been proving that he’s the real deal for NLEX while he’s on the spotlight.

The NLEX rookie sensation is also doing his homework without fanfare, showing up to scout the Road Warriors’ next opponent in Phoenix during the Fuel Masters’ Philippine Cup road game against Kia on Wednesday.

Keeping a low profile as he covered his head with a hoodie, the 24-year-old Ravena took down notes on a small pad of paper while watching the Phoenix-Kia game ahead of the Road Warriors’ matchup against the Fuel Masters on January 7.

The newly named PBA Press Corps Player of the Week confirmed his coaching work as he bumped into a bunch of scribes waiting for interviews in the first game.

“Nag-scout ako ng game,” Ravena said before leaving the venue after the first game.
