Tips for Buying a Home at a Lower Cost - Osprey Mortgage Lending, LLC

Understanding the local real estate market is crucial. Whether it’s a buyer’s market or a seller’s market, it can significantly impact your ability to negotiate a lower price. In a seller’s market, where competition among buyers is fierce, lowball offers are less likely to be accepted. Conversely, in a buyer’s market, or when a home has been on the market for several months, sellers may be more willing to negotiate. https://www.ospreymortgagelending.com/blog/tips-for-buying-a-home-at-a-lower-cost

Unlock Your Dream Home with FHA & HARP Loans: A Comprehensive Guide by Ace Mortgage Loan Corporation

Are you tired of renting or feeling stuck in your current home? Dreaming of owning your own home but not sure how to make it a reality? Look no further, because Ace Mortgage Loan Corporation is here to help you unlock your dream home with FHA and HARP loans. As a leading mortgage lender in Coral Springs, FL, we have helped countless individuals and families achieve their dream of homeownership through these specialized loan programs. In this blog post, we will provide you with all the information you need to know about FHA and HARP loans, including statistics and data, to help you make an informed decision. So sit back, relax, and let us guide you on your journey to homeownership.

What are FHA and HARP Loans?

FHA (Federal Housing Administration) and HARP (Home Affordable Refinance Program) loans are two government-backed loan programs designed to help individuals and families with low to moderate incomes become homeowners. These loans offer more flexible eligibility requirements and lower down payment options, making homeownership more accessible for those who may not qualify for conventional loans. Let's take a closer look at each of these loan programs and their benefits.

FHA Loans

FHA loans were created in 1934 as part of the National Housing Act to help stimulate the housing market during the Great Depression. These loans are insured by the Federal Housing Administration and are available to borrowers with a credit score of 580 or higher. They also require a minimum down payment of only 3.5%, making them an attractive option for first-time homebuyers. FHA loans also have more flexible credit and income requirements, making it easier for individuals with less-than-perfect credit or lower incomes to qualify.

HARP Loans

HARP loans were established in 2009 as part of the Making Home Affordable program to help struggling homeowners refinance their mortgages. These loans are available to borrowers who have a loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 80% or higher, meaning they owe more on their mortgage than their home is worth. HARP loans allow borrowers to refinance to a lower interest rate, potentially saving them hundreds of dollars per month on their mortgage payments. This program is set to expire at the end of 2021, so now is the time to take advantage of this opportunity.

Why Choose FHA and HARP Loans?

Lower Down Payment Options

One of the main benefits of FHA and HARP loans is the lower down payment requirement. While conventional loans typically require a downpayment of 20%, FHA loans only require 3.5% and HARP loans do not require a down payment at all. This allows individuals and families with limited savings to become homeowners and start building equity in their own home.

More Flexible Eligibility Requirements

FHA and HARP loans also have more flexible eligibility requirements compared to conventional loans. FHA loans have lower credit score requirements and allow for higher debt-to-income ratios, making it easier for those with less-than-perfect credit or higher debt levels to qualify. HARP loans, on the other hand, do not have a credit score requirement and allow borrowers to refinance even if they have negative equity in their home.

Lower Interest Rates

Another significant advantage of FHA and HARP loans is the potential for lower interest rates. FHA loans typically have lower interest rates compared to conventional loans, and HARP loans allow borrowers to refinance to a lower interest rate, potentially saving them thousands of dollars over the life of their loan. This can make a significant difference in monthly mortgage payments and long-term savings.

FHA & HARP Loans Statistics and Data

Now that you know the benefits of FHA and HARP loans, let's take a look at some statistics and data to further illustrate their impact on homeownership. - According to the National Association of Realtors, 23% of all home purchases in 2020 were backed by FHA loans. - The Federal Housing Administration insured over 1.2 million loans in 2020, totaling over $251 billion in mortgage insurance. - As of October 2020, over 3.5 million homeowners have refinanced their mortgages through HARP loans since the program began in 2009. - The average HARP loan borrower saves over $2,400 per year on their mortgage payment.

FAQs About FHA & HARP Loans

Yes, FHA 203(k) loans are available for individuals looking to purchase a home that needs repairs or renovations.

Can FHA loans be used for refinancing?

Yes, FHA loans can be used for refinancing existing mortgages.

You and Me and The Devil Makes 3 - Marilyn Manson x Brian Warner x Reader [Smut] - Part II

Synopsis: Both you and Brian can’t get the substitute teacher off your mind. Thankfully, Brian needs some extra help before an upcoming exam, and your regular teacher still hasn’t come back. 

Notes: Long ass title. Anyway, someone asked for a sequel, so here’s more filthy Mancest ft you! IT’S FILTHY! We could all use the porn. 

Part One 

You bring your lips to your boyfriend’s, lazily making out after an hour of stressing the springs in his mattress. 

A KISS record plays in the corner of his room. The afternoon sun seeps in over the countless Judas Priest and Nine Inch Nails posters all over the walls through the blinds that you’ve kept unturned. Both of you like the thrill of knowing Brian’s Christian neighbors might see you and your “filthy sex acts” again. Barb, Brian’s mother, hadn’t been too pleased after receiving that phone call, but Brian’s dad Hugh found it quite funny.

His parents liked you, called you a sweet girl. They don’t know much about Brian, and they don’t make much of an effort to—they know he’s into some dark music and he has a band, but they don’t know he’s interested in guys too, and they don’t know how far he wants to take his musical persona.

You’re also anything but sweet, but Barb and Hugh are well meaning, and you love them to death, always appreciative of the cake Barb feeds you when you visit the house. You think the two of them have some kind of idea that since Brian is almost finished high school, he’d take you somewhere and settle down with you. Neither of you want to settle down, but as far as either of you have shared, you have no plans of breaking up after grad.

You move your kisses down to Brian’s neck, and he keens under the attention, before reaching up to pull you back to his lips.

“I want you again,” you whisper, and Brian stares up at you.

“We just went four times, you brat.”

“But I’m horny.”

“And I’m soft, roll offa me. Gonna have to… watch some porn or something to get hard again…”

“This is better than porn,” you grin, unhooking your bra, and he pauses in his act of drinking down his bedside water glass, smiling too.

“Yeah, you’re right,” he laughs, and smoothes his hands up your rib cage to cup your breasts and fondle them. You lean down to drag them against his bare chest, and his hands move down to once again get himself ready to fuck again.

“So. We gonna talk about what happened on Friday?”

Brian’s breath hitches as he jacks himself to hardness again. “Do you want to?”

“I certainly think it raises some new… things, that we’re both obviously into.” Brian flushes a little, and you grin, leaning down to kiss his forehead. “Hey. You know you can be comfy with me.”

Brian nods, thrusting up into you finally with a hiss. “It was hot… the stuff he did.”

“I know,” you breathe, shuddering as you slide back down over him, “I just wanted the two of you to double team me forever.”

“So is this a thing, then?” Brian whispers, “Like, a third person?”

“I don’t know,” you admit, “We could explore a polyamorous relationship. But for now, I’m okay with secret threesomes involving hot teachers.”

“You think he’s still there?”  

“I think before he left on Friday, he mentioned he’d be around for another week. Mrs. Nordman wasn’t just hungover, she had the flu or something. Why?”

“I mean… we’ve got that English exam coming up soon.”

You smile. “We could use the extra help, hm?” He groans at that, pushing up into you harder, and you tilt your head back, riding him into his bed.

---

At school on Monday, you meet Brian at the front doors. He’s standing with Daisy, waiting for his friend to finish smoking, and doodling something on his hand. You see it’s a bunch of needles and lollipops.

“You know, you should’ve been an artist,” you smile, taking his hand.

“I am an artist. Different kind.”

Pogo approaches, swinging himself up onto the railing. “Morning, you sad fucks. How’re the losers today?”

“Depressed,” Daisy answers.

“Good to hear. I myself am in a fucking marvelous mood, seeing as I banged not one, not two-- but THREE chicks this weekend at a college tit party. THE MAD CLOWN HITS HOME AGAIN!” He lets loose his usual flurry of crazy laughter, the sound that could tell anybody the bald student was coming from a mile away.

“How’d you manage that?” Brian mutters, amused.

“Sorry, Mr. Big Dick, some girls have refined taste, unlike (y/n) or Mr. Manson in there, don’t argue, I know you fucked him.” He pauses his manic rocking, leaning forward. “I also told them I was in a wildly successful rock band.”

“There’s the kicker,” you nod.

“I did not fuck Mr. Manson,” Brian protests. Everyone turns to look at him, and he smirks your way. “He fucked me.” Laughter erupts.

“No smoking on school property, you goth weirdos,” some kiss-ass cheerleader snaps as she walks past, and Pogo catapults Brian’s pen at her head.

“We’re gonna be late, hurry up.” Brian nudges Daisy.

“This is my last one, and I’m too broke to afford another pack until I get my next paycheck,” Daisy complains, savouring another drag.

“Here, lemme have a puff,” Pogo says, motioning for it. Daisy passes it over, and Pogo flicks it into the grass, pulling everyone inside. “Problem solved!”  

You giggle as Daisy shakes his head, and all of you turn when you hear screaming. There’s Jeordie, running toward the school like an idiot.

“I’m gonna make it! I’m gonna make it!” he’s shouting, then the bell goes. He tosses his backpack to the ground, kicking it. “SHIT!”

---

It’s an uneventful Monday, until the last class. When you get in and sit down, Mr. Manson is at the front of the class already, writing the day’s class plan out. Today, he’s dressed in a black button up, with a black vest over top of black pants. His hair is brushed back in a fairly respectable style, and… he turns around. His lips today are a soft coral pink, with black and blue eyeshadow. Brian stares at him, in awe once again at the man’s swaggering confidence and style. Why is it that with bisexuality, it’s always a question of if he wanted to be the other guy, or be in the other guy? Or have the guy in him, as the case may be.                                                

“Alright. Before we start, does anyone have any questions about today’s makeup?” Manson’s tone is playful, and a light titter of laughter comes from the students. He grins. “Alright. You sure?” More laughter. “Okay. Today, we’ll be covering a new chapter of literary theory, and applying it to the first act of Hamlet.”

His dark eyes sweep the classroom as he marks off attendance, and when they come to rest on you, he looks up. “Is there a reason why you and Miss (y/l/n) were late today, Mr. Warner?” Your entire friend group looks at the two of you. Your boyfriend just shrugs. 

“Yeah, there was a reason.” You raise an eyebrow right back with a smirk, and Brian leaves it at that. You’re surprised when Manson accepts this without a cheeky little order to see him after class, but that’s fine. Brian has an excuse to see him anyway.

While Mr. Manson is talking, Brian writes out some lyrics for a new song he and the Spooky Kids have been working on. He nudges you, and taps the paper, which has a verse written out.

VCRs and Vaseline

TV fucked by plastic queens

Cash in hand and dick on screen

(who said god was ever clean)

He’s drawn a big question mark under it, so you give a little check mark on the paper, with the note:

Hot.

“I know this shit is boring, but pay attention,” Manson says from the front of the classroom, glaring daggers at you two. 

“Imagine that lipstick all over my naked body,” you whisper in his ear. Brian glares at you.

“Stop trying to get me hard in class.”

“Why?” you tease.

“Cause it’s fucking working.”

“Do you one of you guys have an eraser?” Jeordie whispers (far too loudly) from behind you. You pass him back yours, and look at him sternly.

“Don’t pick it apart like you did all my other ones.” 

“What did I just say?” Manson snaps from the front of the class.

“We were just—!” you try to protest.

“No talking. Last warning.”

You and Brian exchange looks. He’s in a mood today, and you can’t wait to see how the two of you can test him even more after class.

When the class is finished, you all wait until the rest of the students are gone. Pogo looks back at you two from the door, making obscene blow job gestures. Mr. Manson doesn’t look up from the desk.

“Did you need something, Mr. Bier?”

“Not me!” Pogo snickers, dashing off to go catch up with Daisy and Jeordie.

“Mr. Manson?” Brian asks, “I need a little bit of help with studying for the upcoming exam. I dedicate a lot of time to my band, and… don’t study as much as I should.”

“Mm. And (y/n)? You just gonna watch your boyfriend... ask for help?” Manson asks. 

“I might learn a few things too, by sticking around,” you say, and lean forward against your desk. Manson’s eyes roam down to your cleavage, and he closes his book, getting up. He walks over to the door, locks it, and comes back over.

“The English exam. Yeah. As you know, I don’t know much about your curriculum, or really, about the exam itself.” 

“Doesn’t mean you can’t try to help us out,” you say. “Please sir? We really need help.” Mr. Manson looks at you, blue and black shadow making his hooded eyes seem supernatural.

“I’ll see what I can do.”

Brian walks over to his desk, chin jutted out in confidence that will be lost as soon as Manson looks him in the eye. Sure enough, when the substitute gives your boyfriend one of his looks up and down, sweeping his entire body as if he’s a meal about to be devoured, Brian shudders. But he’s not about to lose his cool.

“See… I don’t get the whole psychoanalytic theory,” Brian says, putting the book down in front of Mr. Manson, “I don’t see how it applies to Hamlet.”

“Of course you pick the Freudian thing.” He sighs. “Well first, you have to understand psychoanalysis.” Manson looks over to you pointedly. “I’m sure you know all about Freud and his phallic symbols. You two had a lot of fun drawing them on your notes last Friday.” 

Brian laughs a little at that. Wrong move. Manson gets up, and in one quick stride, he has your boyfriend pushed down and bent over the desk, ass up.

“What the fuck?” Brian mutters, but you can hear the whine at the end of his protest. Your legs rub together as your finger grazes your lower lip… you want to see how this turns out.

“Here’s what I’m gonna do,” Manson says slowly, “I’m gonna help you two, since you fuck around in class all the time and never pay attention.” He leans in close to Brian, and your boyfriend glares up at him for holding him in such a vulnerable position. Manson just smirks, and gets out a ruler from the desk. “Our angel over there is gonna answer some questions of mine, baby. Got it?”

“What do you—?” A sharp slap echoes, as Manson hits the desk with the ruler hard.

“You say yes sir, and no sir, or this desk will be that pretty little ass. Understood?”

“Yes sir,” Brian breathes, laying his face down on the desk. You raise an eyebrow, spreading your legs just a bit.

“You really have enough confidence in me that I know these answers?” you grin.

“Nah. I’m counting on you not knowing a single one, baby girl,” Manson smiles, and traces the ruler up Brian’s back. “But try your best. He’s counting on you.” Manson gets the ruler ready again. "Tell me what the basis of psychoanalytic theory is."

"It's a theory that draws from psychoanalyzing the behavior of the characters in the... in the story," you say, eyes trained on Brian.

"Good start," Manson nods, rubbing his hand up Brian's back, "Saved you this time, sweetheart." Brian makes a noise, akin to a moan, and Manson looks at you again, expectantly, from the depths of that eyeshadow. "What are some examples?"

"There's... a response to modern day literature from a new and improved perspective."

"Wrong," Manson says, "That's postmodernism." 

“Aw. Guess that must’ve slipped my mind.” You shift in your seat, reaching down to touch yourself. Manson sees this out of the corner of his eye, and lifts his chin. 

"Mr. Warner?"

Brian obediently pulls down his leggings just enough. Not satisfied with this, Manson pulls them down to his knobby knees, and hits him hard with the ruler. Brian's hips rut against the desk, and your pussy clenches as you rub faster circles.

"Again, sir," Brian whimpers.

"You want another one?" Manson asks.

"Yes, sir."

"(y/n)... your boy here's a bit of a slut."

"I'd have to agree," you grin, head rolling back as a moan is drawn from your throat.

"I guess I should know that by now. Have you ever tried fucking him?"

Brian's breath hitches, and you think about this. "He's never asked."

"Imagine how that'd feel, hm?" the teacher whispers in Brian's ear, "Her fingers inside of you... filling you up. You like that?"

"Fuck, fuck," Brian groans, hips pushing forward against the desk. He's painfully hard.

"Gonna cum in your pants?” Manson rasps.

“No...” Brian clenches his jaw. “Ugh...”

“What if she fucked you with three fingers? Spreading this perfect ass wide open?" he continues to tease, snarling, "What if I did? You like the pain, don't you? It turns you on." Manson spanks him again, harder, and you can see the red imprint he’s left.

"Yeah..." Brian moans, his usual grumble raising in pitch. "I want you both to fuck me."

"First, you get to watch." Mr. Manson looks over to you, and beckons. You make a show of teasing back, mouthing 'me?' Before Manson has a chance to threaten, you stand, walking over to the teacher. He stands a full few feet taller than you, the height difference still as hot as it was in the washroom the other day. He takes you by the shoulders, and brings his lips to yours. The kiss is sloppy and heated. You moan, sliding your hand down to cup his cock through his black slacks. You can feel the hefty erection respond to your touch, but you want to feel it inside you, fucking you. Brian watches, and reaches down to give himself some relief. 

"Ah ah," you break away from the kiss to say, "Someone's being naughty." Brian shoots you a glare for ratting him out, and you blow your boyfriend a kiss as Manson turns to look at him.

"Do I have to tie you up, baby boy? Or can you stop those hands from wandering, hmm?" Hearing that in Manson's deep growl is such a turn on. You pull him back to you.

"Let him stay like that. If you spank him again, he's gonna cum all over the desk."

"Disgusting," Manson chastises, licking his lips, "Filthy filthy, Mr. Warner."

"At least I didn't take out my cock in class and start stroking it for you to see," Brian mouths off.

"I'm sure you would've loved to do that," you smirk, going back to stroking Mr. Manson through his pants.

"Mm. Yeah. Bet you would’ve loved to take it out, show everyone how hard you were. How ready you were for your girlfriend and your fucking teacher to take turns on you.”

"I..." Brian groans.

"Use your words, slut."

"Yeah," he breathes, "I might... I don't know, get embarrassed, but--"

"Sluts don't get embarrassed," Manson says sharply. "Besides, as a big rock and roll singer, I'd imagine that you do much worse onstage. Or am I wrong?”

“Tell him all the shit you've done onstage," you moan.

Brian shifts his hips, recalling everything he'd done during a show. Mr. Manson was right-- when he was onstage, it was as if he became a different person. A persona. Someone darker, maniacal even. Someone who's willing to do anything.

"I've fucked (y/n) onstage," he growls. "Fucked her til her tight little cunt couldn't take it anymore."

Mr. Manson takes his cock out of his pants, starts stroking it himself as you lay back on a desk in front of him. You watch his cockhead disappear in his fist with every stroke, licking your lips. 

"What else?"

"I stripped her down naked in front of everyone... and ate her pussy."

"Oh god," you whine, picturing that night. You had both been so high you had forgotten there was even an audience. 

"That must have felt good." Manson looks to you.

"It did. It did, and I love it," you murmur, glancing down to your exposed breasts, "Just like him. I wanna be filled by you, sir. Just like Brian fills me up."

Brian rolls his hips against the desk as Mr. Manson slots himself between your legs, dragging his cock between the folds of your pussy. "So fuckin' wet. It'll be so easy to get into you, baby girl."

"Please, Mr. Manson," you moan, “I need you.”

"Fuck her," Brian gasps out, "She's such a fucking cockslut, she needs it." You nod. Manson reaches his hand up to cup one of your breasts as he slides in, filling you to the hilt. 

"Oh god," you manage out, hands grabbing at the edges of the small desk. Manson’s cock isn’t as long as Brian’s, but it’s thicker, so thick you can feel the pain of the stretch. 

"Fuck," Brian whines, watching Manson pull out almost fully then pound back into you. He’s frustrated—he can’t touch himself, and his cock is heavy and weeping against the desk. He could cum from any little touch at this point.

"If you even think about touching your cock, the punishment will be unimaginable," Manson growls to your brat of a boyfriend. Brian groans in complaint, resting his head against the desk as he continues to rock his hips and watch. "Tell me more about how you fuck (y/n)," Manson says, thrusting in hard. The desk skids back a couple of inches, and you gasp. "Ah, nope. The principal could still walk by, baby girl. Don't want him to hear the three of us acting out our own little porno, do you?"

"No, sir."

"No. That's right. Mr. Warner? You were saying?" 

"I fuck her all the time," Brian says, words tumbling out of his mouth as he loses his grip. "We fuck between classes, before class, after class. She always wants my dick.”

"Yeah?" Mr. Manson asks, humming low in his chest. "Seems like you just can't get satisfied baby, hm?"

"I get satisfied," you reply, grinding your hips down obscenely, "I just love his cock so much that I want it all the time. I love feeling full."

"Why don't we make good and sure you're nice and full then?" Manson beckons Brian over, not stopping his thrusts for a second. Brian’s surprised for a moment that he gets to move or do anything, but quickly complies. Manson’s belt jangles as he grunts, balls slapping your ass. "Give our baby girl a mouthful."

Your eyes light up, and Brian's lips quirk up. He loves watching you get used, and being a part of it is almost too much for him. He stands, and gets over top of your face, willing himself not to blow the minute he pushes between your pretty pink lips.

"Lemme see that nice cock, baby boy," Manson rasps. His breath hitches when Brian strokes his fist all the way up the length, over the head, and back down. "Mmm, perfect. Give her some, she looks thirsty."

"Take it, baby," Brian whispers, biting his lip as he smacks his cock against your lips, "C'mon, you know you want it."

"You know her safe word?" Manson mutters. Brian nods. You open wide for your boyfriend, and he slides his cock into your mouth, stopping before it hits the back of your throat. He raises his eyebrows down to you, and you nod again, feverishly. It's almost too much, the older man fucking you into the desk so hard and your boyfriend using your mouth to get off. But you love the thrill, and you're getting closer to your climax every second.

"You're doing so good," Mr. Manson says to you, stroking down your pelvic bone to caress your stomach, your clit, down to your inner thighs. Your hips buck. "Shhh. Taking us so good, sweetheart."

"Isn't it "so well?' You are an English teacher, right?" Brian asks, grinning. Mr. Manson shoots him a look daring to go any further with that. Brian knows his place, casting his eyes downward.

"You like to piss people off, don’t you?" Manson asks.

"Yeah. It's part of my, uh... my thing."

"Your thing right now is to quit being a smart ass, fuck your girlfriend's mouth, and do what your told."

Brian sucks his cheekbones in, biting his bottom lip hard as he feels his cock throb. "Yes, sir!" He gives a sarcastic mock salute with a big dumb grin, and that does it.

"Back over the desk."

"What?!" Brian's eyebrows furrow angrily.

"You heard me. Get back. Over. The desk. Now."

Brian whines, and removes himself from your mouth. As he's walking back over though, the fearless streak continues. He fondles Mr. Manson's bare ass as he walks by, clucking his tongue. "Damn, daddy. Great ass, for an old man."

You smirk, knowing it'll get a rise out of the teacher. But he just goes back to fucking you-- albeit much faster.

"Oh... oh yeah. Oh god," you hiss, trying still to keep it as quiet as possible. Mr. Manson's short black hair falls from his coiffed mohawk and into his eyes as he starts to get close. "I'm gonna fucking cum," you moan, tits bouncing in your bra. Manson pushes in one more time, and you cum hard on his cock, mouth falling open.

He pulls out of you when you're finished, and Brian comes over, kneeling down and taking Mr. Manson's cock into his mouth. He suckles for a few seconds, then takes him down all the way as the older man shudders, buries his fingers into your boyfriend's hair, and cums down his throat. Brian swallows, blinking up at the teacher, and Mr. Manson looks down at him, at the teenager’s painfully swollen cock resting on his thigh. 

"You've been a good boy," he mumbles, “Helped daddy cum. I think you deserve something.” Brian's eyes flutter shut, and Manson strokes his cheek. With a gasp from the touch alone, Brian suddenly cums untouched all over his leg and the floor. You watch him convulse through every wave of his orgasm, then rest back on his hands when he finishes. 

Manson sits on the edge of his desk, and you stand, helping Brian clean up. He runs a hand through his long black hair, and fiddles his tongue against his lip ring.

"You know... you should come check out the Spooky Kids in concert sometime."

Manson runs a hand through his hair, making sure he looks his best-- comfortably disheveled. "Your band?" 

"Yeah. You were in a band yourself, weren't you?" Brian smirks. 

“Yeah.”

"As long as you bring some good, uh... you know, nose candy-- gotta make the sacrificial offerings to the band-- then feel free to show up."

“He doesn’t do nose candy, bring some ring pops and lollipops and that’ll be more than sufficient,” you say, rolling your eyes. 

“What makes you think I've got drugs on me anyway?" Manson deadpans. "I'm a fuckin' high school English teacher." Brian stares at the debauched man with lipstick smeared down his chin and hair standing up from all angles. Manson bursts into what can only be described as giggles. "Yeah. Well, I’m not about to give my drugs away to a group of 18 year old musicians. Then you’d turn out just like me.” 

“That wouldn’t be so bad,” Brian teases, tugging slightly at the silver skull brooch on Manson’s lapel. Manson strokes his knuckles.

“If I'm still in town, I'll see if I can make it to a show. You seem like you’d be good. Like you’ve got rock star in your blood.” It’s as if Brian’s whole body blushes—it’s freaking cute you think, as you fix your hair. “--But only if I get to come backstage with the rest of the groupies." 

"Oh," you smile, approaching  to fix Mr. Manson’s black tie, "We'll be waiting for you."  

“Who else is in this band?” Manson asks out of curiosity. “Anyone else from this class?”

“Stephen, Scott, Jeordie. Another kid named Freddy, doesn’t go here.”

“Bier is crazy enough to be in a band, I’d believe that. Putesky, that’s interesting. He doesn’t seem the type. He seems like he’d be the type to yell at people like you to turn the music down.”

 Brian nods, “Yeah, we tell him that all the time. He looks like someone’s grandpa. He shreds on the guitar, though, you’d be surprised. So does Jeordie.”

Manson huffs, getting his bag together, “Jeordie? That doesn’t surprise me as much.” The substitute teacher lets you two out of the classroom, and checks the time. 4 PM now. “Well. I hope you feel ready for the exam. I didn’t do shit to help you, but...” 

“We got what we needed to,” you say, fixing your skirt with a small smile.

“Good. Cause I think you’ve got a pretty good idea of what’ll happen if you get a fuckin’ F.”

When you've got been discovering it somewhat troublesome to decide between taking a soothing and indulging beach vacation or going wild and adventurous on a safari journey, then let me make that decision very easy for you, as there's nothing to cease you from combining the two. The truth is, the tourism trade in wild and delightful places like Kenya has developed Almasi Tours & Safaris over time with a rising development towards providing twin-centre bundle holidays to Kenya, where vacationers get the most effective of each worlds: the wilderness and the seashore. With extra vacationers considering visiting Africa, the mixture of those two elements makes such a holiday one that you'll never forget for the remainder of your life.

So, to start with, for those who're enthusiastic about taking twin-centre or multi-centre Kenya holidays you'll want to be staying in a nice resort mendacity on the shores of the Indian Ocean, in Mombassa, Kenya's second most vital metropolis. That is the place you might nicely decide to spend the first a part of your Click here for Social Profile vacation and there are a good number of beautiful beachfront hotel properties to choose properties on this space. Many offer handy all-inclusive packages and the standard of the quality of meals and service at these resorts is commonly greater than what you may find in lots of different worldwide destinations.

Then for the second half or the trip (or when you choose you can make it the first, it's completely as much as and how you wish to construct your Kenya vacation), it is time to enjoy a memorable Kenyan safari and there are actually some national parks positioned very close to Mombassa, so you will not should journey a great distance from the seashore to enjoy the wildest of sceneries.

Nothing can actually prepare you for what Kenya to offer. Rolling plains, plentiful wildlife and beautiful beach holidays make for excellent safari and seaside holidays. Kenya has an extended established safari vacation market and you can be rest assured that what Kenya does no find out about safaris shouldn't be value understanding.

Some of the spectacular sights to witness is the annual Wildebeest Migration in the Masai Mara Nationwide Park. That is when 1000's of Wildebeest make the treacherous journey south to Tanzania in the hunt for richer food sources and to have their young. It's a nice and historical journey and one which many will not return from. One of the best time to visit the Masai Mara is from July to Mid-August when the Wildebeest cross the Mara River. September is also a very good month as tens of millions of Wildebeest decent the plains of the Masai.

Many safaris embody the Masai Mara Nationwide Park in their itinerary and it's simple to see why. As well as the Wildebeest the Masai Mara is house to Elephants, Buffalo, Leopard, Lions and the extraordinarily uncommon Black Rhino. Cheetahs have a repute for climbing on safari automobiles and stand up close and personal with its occupants. Chicken lovers are also in for a treat. The Masai Mara is residence to the Kori Buzzard, the world's heaviest flying hen, in addition to Vultures, Storks, and 9 forms of Sunbird.

Africa probably does not spring to mind as the primary destination you'll choose when planning a seashore vacation, however there are a lot of great causes to give it a attempt. Cape Town in South Africa has up till recently always been "the" destination to go to when you wished to go to Africa and benefit from the seashore in addition to all the other great things that solely this nice continent has to offer. Now there are new kids on the block and locations like Zanzibar off the coast of Tanzania, Mombasa in Kenya and The Gambia have really come in to their very own each offering their very own unique promoting factors and flavour of Africa however all nice beach vacation locations.

One of the more apparent causes to select someplace on the African continent is to enjoy the seaside in the course of the European winter, breaking up your winter and escaping the summer time holiday rush. How usually as of late will we hear of strikes at airports throughout the summer time peak vacation period, delaying thousands and thousands of holidaymakers and destroying their few weeks away from work? Escape the rush and journey out of the peak season.

Cape City in South Africa remains to be essentially the most refined beach vacation vacation spot in Africa, with the unbelievable backdrop of Desk Mountain, wonderful accommodation options and a number of the best restaurants in the world it might be a wonderful place to visit even without the seashore. On prime of which you can additionally take pleasure in the best wines and scenery of South Africa on the Backyard Route, which stretches from Mossel Bay to the Storms River within the Western Cape.

There are ten nature reserves in the area in addition to unique marine reserves, home to comfortable coral reefs, dolphins, seals and a bunch of different marine life.

Combing golf with a seashore holiday has all the time been fashionable in places like Spain and Portugal, South Africa and the Cape Region have a number of the greatest Golf programs on this planet, now you may mix a beach, golf and safari vacation, there is nowhere in Europe that may boast that!

What concerning the beaches?

The Atlantic Seaboard along the West (Atlantic) side Read our Blog Here of the Cape Peninsula with well known seashores including Sandy Bay, Clifton Camps Bay, Scarborough and Kommetjie. The West Coast, running Northwards from Cape City with the windy circumstances make these seashores standard for browsing and kite-surfing.

An vital level to notice is the sea in False Bay is about 6 degrees https://almasitoursandsafaris.com/ hotter than the Atlantic Seaboard and the West Coast!

On the down side, Cape City is the furthest level in Africa you'll be able to travel to from Europe, so expect a protracted flight as talked Wikipedia Here about above the water is usually a little chilly after which it is in all probability one of the costlier destinations in Africa.

Kenya, in all probability best recognized for it's wildlife safaris on the Masai Mara but also has loads to offer in the way in which of beach holidays on the shoreline near Mombasa. Town of Mombasa is a "real" bustling African metropolis and there is in stark distinction to the sophistication of Cape City.

Preferences!

Thank you lovely @feu-eau​ for the tag - I’m happy you thought of me! It took me long enough though, hah :)

coffee or tea I’ve got my caffeine dependency down to a system! Three mugs in the morning, with a generous powdering of cocoa in each one. Every few days I alternate one of the two beautiful ceramic mugs handmade by my “work mom” :)

early bird or night owl My natural tendency is to prolong whatever I’m doing until my eyes can’t stay open! However I’ve gone through (very) intentional phases of early rising, and I prefer the way my schedule works out when I manage to wake up early, even though it’s less often by comparison these days.

chocolate or vanilla Dark chocolate is my weakness. My parents conveniently tend to “have some chocolate around” when I visit, and they know exactly which percentage of cacao to pick for me - 85%! :)

spring or fall By the end of winter I’m summer-hangry and spring can hardly arrive quickly enough! I love seeing the unique colors in nature in the midst of springtime as well.

silver or gold Gold, but real gold, and styled minimalistically if we’re talking about fashion. It’s easy to misuse as an accessory, in my opinion

pop or alternative classic and instrumental Lol, this one! I didn’t get into music until I was in college, and by that time I’d been trained to lock onto patterns in music. So if it’s defying tropes and pushing boundaries, it’s my taste, no matter the genre (maybe I’m not answering the preference question correctly then, haha). Some of the genres with my faves are good ol’ alt rock, experimental, minimalist, jazz, and “art pop” (do me a favor and listen to Oh Land)!

freckles or dimples They are both gorgeous!! I can’t answer strictly by preference, but there are more dimply people in my life than freckly people so maybe dimples have given me (quantitatively) the most happiness??

snakes or sharks I found a baby garter snake in the forest behind my house when I was 3 or 4 years old. I made friends with it and carried it with me all day. My dad told me I had to let it go at the end of the day and I cried as it slithered away. It was a good day though!

mountains or fields I grew up in forested and flat areas so mountains feel very exotic to me. I would pick mountains for the way they represent adventure, but if forests was a choice, I would choose forests!

thunder or lightning I love storms!! Even rushing to the storm shelter from tornado warnings when I was little was like an adventure and I always got excited when I heard about huge storms approaching and watched them rush in from the horizon. Ironically witnessing destruction from extreme weather very close at hand has not dampened my love for the experience of magnificent storms.

egyptian or greek mythology I definitely went through this phase! It started with a book on Howard Carter’s expedition, Shakespeare’s Cleopatra or the Prince of Egypt movie, but I’m not sure which!

ivory or scarlet Feu, I’m glad you made the distinction here! Ivory feels more refined as a color to me.

flute or lyre I’m taking this a bit more generally to mean all types of flutes. There are too many wonderful ones to count and I love them all!

opal or diamond I like the clarity and simplicity of diamonds! They also just have this unique vibe among other gems. I dunno. Maybe this is a true preference since it’s mostly based on vaguely defined personal feelings, haha

butterflies or honeybees I had a fascination with Monarch butterflies as a little kid and their life cycle was fascinating to me. There was a prairie nearby with lots of milkweed that attracted the Monarchs and it was fun to chase them with a net and let them go

macaroons or eclair Less messy to eat and there is more variety in flavors. Though maybe I haven’t had enough different eclairs to tell?

typewritten or handwritten I write my best when my medium is most generous! Word choice and communicative accuracy are pretty important to me, moreso than my medium. Usually if I choose to handwrite something, I will also compose it out digitally ahead of picking up the pen.

secret garden or secret library I agree that gardens are best enjoyed by everyone!! I just love the idea of being entirely surrounded by beautiful, complex creatures full of life.

rooftop or balcony I feel like you can do more on a rooftop! It’s also so exhilarating to just be present in such a wide, open space. Like the walls of the room are the horizon and the ceiling is the celestial dome, but just a few people or just one person can inhabit the whole space.

London or Paris From my tiny perspective it seems Paris is a place more different from my experience than London is. I would choose Paris to follow my inclination for adventure.

Vincent Van Gogh or Claude Monet I feel like I need more education to make this decision!! Their works are all so beautiful!!

denim or leather Ralph Lauren made it classy and leather is history. Denim is all kinds of versatile too. How can almost any variety still count as a neutral? What is this power???

potions or spells Potion seller, I’m going into battle, and I need only your strongest potions

ocean or desert The ocean is the alien world I dream of immersing myself in. Walking through the overhead aquarium as a child was practically a religious experience. Last year I learned to swim and now I’m working on my scuba certification because heck, I’m kinda unskilled so freediving the coral reefs would probably be dangerous XD

mermaids or sirens If I could be a mermaid that would be a dream come true. 1) I would be able to breathe underwater 2) I’d be able to sing pretty well. I don’t know too much about sirens, maybe they also can breathe under the water?

masquerade ball or cocktail party Never been! Also it sounds like classy fun, and a different flavor of classy fun than I’ve experienced at a cocktail party. I would love the opportunity to put together a formal outfit with a really unique element, communicate a theme and make all the pieces work cohesively.

Tag List: @fandomplethora @lunethien @soracoffee I’m tagging you for fun but don’t worry if you are busy or just don’t feel like it :) no commentary required either ~ have a good night! Thank you @feu-eau again!!

Japanese folk tales #67 - A feast of mermaid

My health has been down the weather so I have not been able to post many tales lately but here it is, a new story dedicated to @siumerghe who kindly introduced me to Onmyoji PC version :D

Find my tales tagged here or visit my blog for both english and french versions. Wish me to cover a special youkai or subject? Contact me, I’ll try to accommodate ❤️

Once upon a time, there was on Wakasa coast a small flourishing harbour which stood upon the clearest sea.

Blessed by lenient tides and fair weather, its fishermen came back every nightfall with lines and nets full of silvery fishes.

Townspeople where so glad for their luck that they never forgot to thank the many gods of the ocean.

Once every year, all homes draw their sliding doors wide opened, unveiling their cherished hearth to the four winds.

All day long, all rejoiced, dancing and drinking. And as the sun slowly went to sleep, fishermen would carry the town’s shrine portable altar into flaming waters, reuniting deities for one night with their homeland.

One year, as the sea darkened, a boat like no one has ever seen appeared by the horizon.

Gliding effortlessly, it moored with otherworldly grace. On its deck, rose people clothed in foam-like robes, eyes unblinking and smiles showing sharp pearly teeth.

Without a word, they extended fin-like hands to the mesmerized fishermen. And one by one they got onto the strange boat, never looking back toward their homes on the shore.

As sails magically set, the fishermen froze among the merfolk. Everywhere was more richness that they could ever have imagine.

Like famished gulls, the humans scattered through the rooms, hungrily touching finest coral and iridescent abalone shells, under the amused looks of their silent hosts.

As one fisherman wandered by, astonished, he suddenly heard muffled gurgles coming from the hull. Curious, he carefully came closer… and swallowed a gasp.

A merfolk stripped to the waist, his greyish torso covered by a myriad of scales, stood among cooking pots knife in a hand. In the other one, he held in a strong grip the strangest of fishes.

Its lower body was all smooth eel skin, slimy as seaweeds. But the other half was definitely human like, with the angry wrinkled face of a crying baby.

Before he could move, the cook had skillfully gutted and cut down the mermaid, adding pieces after pieces on a fuming grill.

Disgusted, the man hastily retraced his steps only to find his friends in a lavish banquet hall, seating among merfolks in front of mother-of-pearl trays.

The fishermen were used to work together and knew each others like to back of their hands. As he took place, they instantly seized up his sickened face.

But the feast had already began.

Refined dishes kept coming, each delicately arranged. The fishermen gingerly ate their fill, not accustomed to such tastes but unwilling to be impolite to their hosts. Until the meat was served.

The man felt his stomach turn. He frantically raised his head and crossed the others’ gazes. Pointing to his plate, he cautiously shook his head.

The fishermen all got the hint. As discreetly as they could, all faked eating the grilled meat. With swift movements of their chopsticks, they slipped it into their kimono sleeves – until all plates looked licked clean.

Merfolks remained oblivious of their trick. And the rest night went by uneventful, filled with human songs and eerie hushed laughs.

Just as the sky lightened, the boat moored once more by the village. One by one, fishermen got off, shyly waving merfolks goodbye as they vanished into mist in the first sunrays.

But ass soon as the boat disappeared, all took out the disgusting meat weighing their sleeves down and threw them into the ocean, muttering prayers under their breaths.

All but Takahashi, the younger of them, who simply pretended to throw his piece away before going home on shaky legs.

He put the meat into a box as a memento of that strange night, and put the box deep into a cupboard.  Then he sprawled face first onto his bed, dead drunk.

Months passed. Yet one day, as Takahashi’s young daughter was spring cleaning the house as her father was out at sea, her nimble fingers found the little box under layers of jumble.

She opened it. Inside, the piece of meat looked as juicy as ever.

The girl couldn’t resist: she gobbled it down in one bite. Then, feeling remorseful, she hid the box back where she had found it and never spoke a word about her secret snack.

At first nothing happened. Life kept going by in the harbour. Takahashi’s daughter became a lovely young lady and quickly found a husband.

But as years went by, people started to whisper.

Her husband’s back bent, her children grew up, yet she stayed as young and lively as ever, unmarred by a life full  of hard work. Worse, by dusk, some swore they had seen her skin glow like a moonlit ocean.

Her parents died, then her husband, then her children and grandchildren, yet she remained untouched by time.

In the village, now all shunned her, cursing her under their breath as she went by, lonely and sad by the shore, mourning people only she had known and loved.

One day, she could not take it anymore. She shaved her hair, put on a veil and left.

They said that the girl who never aged traveled across the country for centuries, trying to find peace of mind as a wandering nun.

And that, when she finally returned to her homeland, she planted a white camellia near a sea cave before jumping into the abyss and never coming back.

Such was the blessing of mermaid flesh.

Notes:

This tale relates to childhood of Yao Bikuni, a buddhist nun thought to have lived 800 years – all because she had once eaten mermaid’s meat given to her father by oblivious merfolks kindly willing to reward their village piety.

If Japan has a myriad of sea creatures in its folklore, from short tempered sea gods (Susano) to monstrous or benevolent spirits, true mermaids (ningyo) stories are kinda rare.

With their fishlike bodies and crumpled human-like faces, they have little in common with their Western cousins. Japanese mermaids in fact start gaining popularity during Edo where strange mummies were crafted by carnitalkers (who sew monkeys upper torso to fish tails) and displayed in misemono (freak show) or sold to temples (some still can be seen).

Religious festivals are still a very important part of Japan daily life. If matsuri are now sometimes mostly an excuse to party, in the past they were crucial to appease the gods. In coast communities, it was not unusual to carry portable altars (mikoshi) into the nearby sea to “free” the local god – and reassure its benevolence for yet another year.

DarkChosenOne233 requested (paraphrased): Fashion student on vacation in Gotham bumps into Chief of Staff Edward Nygma. Flirty Nygma buys Reader breakfast and coffee in exchange for a date! Nygma becomes Reader’s tour guide.

You pretty much passed out after checking in to the Gotham Royal Hotel.  You’d endured a long, stuffy flight and lukewarm temperatures on arrival.  It’s not a tundra or anything, but it’s still colder than you’re used to.  It’s overcast and on the nippy side on chilly.

You debut in Gotham by slipping on some ice right outside a café.  Slapstick isn’t fun when you’re the one slapstuck.

And of course, your ensuing flailing and scrabbling results in you dragging an innocent bystander down with you: a man wearing a suit that costs more than your entire wardrobe, and you never skimp on fashion!  It’s tailored to fit his sly frame with a green shirt providing a pop of color.

“I-I’m sorry!” you scramble off him when you realize you’re staring.

“Don’t apologize,” he helps you up with a smile. “You’re much too adorable to apologize for an accident.”

“Uh, uh um...” you duck your head shyly. “Thank you, Mister...?”

“Edward Nygma: Mayor Cobblepot’s Chief of Staff,” he chuckles.

“Oh, wow! A politician, huh?”

“Hardly. I am primarily an intellectual who seeks to enact his childhood friend’s vision for a crime-free, poverty-free Gotham.”

“Not your vision?”

“Oswald has always been the dreamer between us,” he pushes his glasses back in place. “There’s nothing wrong with idealism, but it’s difficult to convince others that it’s practical.  Most people are dazzled by short-term consequences and blind to long-term benefits.”

“Or dazzled by short-term benefits and blind to long-term consequences.”

“Exactly,” he smiles again as he holds the door open for you. “What brings a fair stranger such as yourself to Gotham?”

“Spring vacation!” you beam. “I’m in the fashion design program at Lynchburg College!”  You model your latest piece: a scarf that takes inspiration from a coral reef documentary.  Swirls billow throughout the item.  You got an A+ for your stunning use of blues, greens, and purples!

“What plans do you have after this?”

“Sightseeing! And, um, maybe ice-skating...  I was going to look up rinks last night, but my flight was exhausting!”

“I guarantee I know the best ice rink in the city as well as its most interesting sights.  Wouldn’t want such a promising person to fall prey to Gotham’s unsavory inhabitants.  All I ask is you endure my presence.”

“...That’s really nice of you. Thanks!  And I’m enjoying your presence, Edward.”

“Feel free to call me Ed.”

“Alright, Ed!”

“What would you like for breakfast, my darling excursionist?”

You order hash browns and pancakes with coffee—two creams, two sugars—while he gets an egg, cheese, and sausage sandwich with hazelnut coffee.

And after that, it’s sightseeing!

Gotham radiates history and style: the Victorian museum with its lamps and lace, the cathedral’s stained glass windows and gargoyles, and the clock tower tolling a baritone chime.  One of your friends said that Batman saved someone from the Joker there!

You shiver.  Joker’s so creepy!

But that can’t be right because Batman allegedly used a rubber duck and toy teeth to do it...

“Yes he did, I’m afraid,” Ed rolls his eyes and grits his teeth. “Just replace ‘damsel in distress’ with ‘Chief of Staff in distress’, and you’ll have the complete story.”

“No!” you can’t believe it! “Are you alright???  You’ve actually seen Batman up close?”

“I am now, and yes I have.”

“Does he really carry shark repellent spray?  My friend Hale insists that he does, but he’s probably joking.”

“I wouldn’t put it past him.  The Dark Knight is seemingly prepared for any altercation; and granted, one ought to be in Gotham.”

“Can he really fly???” your face beams with excitement.

“No, but his cape becomes a glider when electrified.  Why the fascination with our local vigilante?”

“Because he’s a riddle!  My friends and I all have practically started a club dedicated to solving him.  No one knows who is or where he gets all his gear.”

“A riddle, eh?” he chuckles as if you’ve stumbled upon an in-joke. “As for the toys, I would propose that he’s wealthy as that would also explain how he acquired top-notch training in multiple fighting styles.”

“And he has to be someone who doesn’t like guns,” you’re totally geeking out right now!  At Ed’s intrigued eyebrow ascension, you add. “He never uses them in any of the stories I’ve heard.”

“But shark repellant is acceptable to his sensibilities?” he asks, voice lilted with amusement.

“Like I said, Hale’s a weirdo, but he’s my weirdo.”

His eyes take on a fond, faraway tone as he reminisces about something... or someone.

After lunch, he does indeed take you to the best rink in Gotham.  All the skates are patterned with penguins!  You buy a pair as a souvenir and glide across the ice, spinning and swerving to show off your moves to your companion.  He skates well.  He’s agile and refined on the ice whereas you’re wild and carefree.  Your heart feels fuzzy when he reaches out to clasp your hand.

You two work up an appetite skating together, so he takes you out to a restaurant that has a vegetarian menu!  Dinner warms you right up after that chilly ice rink.  His hand clasped over yours helps, too.

Ed takes you back to your hotel and kisses you good night before he departs.  He’s so sweet...

You text your friends all about your day.  They’re all pretty much asleep, but Hale’s awake late wasting time on Tumblr.

Hiver_Frost_Elf: it’s always so cool watching you out on the ice!  i’m glad you made a friend who can actually skate with you ^-^

rewritinghowthestoryends: thanks :) he held my hand all thru dinner :D he’s so handsome when he smirks!

Hiver_Frost_Elf: aww

rewritinghowthestoryends: i was thinking of going to the library tomorrow, so he gave me directions to his favorite one and some recommendations for books i absolutely HAVE to check out!!  he’ll be busy, but he has time for coffee and lunch!

Hiver_Frost_Elf: you’re in the city of BATMAN and you’re READING???  c’mon, you can read in virginia.  do something fun. like a carnival!

rewritinghowthestoryends: READING IS FUN!!! D:< besides, we’re going to the carnival on Wednesday.  and he’s also interested in solving the riddle of the Bat!  mind if I add him to the group chat?

Hiver_Frost_Elf: go right ahead!

Ed hangs his coat up when he gets home.  His happy humming is interrupted by an impish, “Good evening, lover boy.”

“Os, what are you doing in my house???” Ed finds him camping out on the couch like it’s his house instead of Ed’s. “And it’s not humanly possibly for gossip to travel this quickly.”

“I didn’t hear it from humans,” he purrs as he shows Ed a candid from the ice rink.

“Stop calling your employees ‘birds’,” Ed shakes his head as he boils himself a cup of tea. “That’s weird.”

“I’m wealthy enough to be eccentric,” Oswald insists, his eyes lighting up when he hears Ed setting the pot on the stove. “Will you make me one too, pleeease???”

“No! You don’t have time for tea tonight!  You have time to go home and sleep before your early meeting tomorrow to discuss the city’s education budget.”

“Nope. I’m going to sleep here tonight in your cozy home and ferret out all the juicy details about your dalliance with the cutest tourist in Gotham!”

“Oswald Cobblepot!” Ed blushes, stammering half-hearted protests until he gets a text from you inviting you to the illustrious group chat for bat-sleuths.

“And what sweet nothings are you and your beloved texting each other???” Oswald emits kissing noises.

“Shut up, Os!” Ed growls as he sets his username, too distracted to stay angry or focused. “Your usual?”

“Please and thank you!”

Psalm 70-71

Psalm 70

Prayer for Deliverance from Enemies

To the leader. Of David, for the memorial offering.

1 Be pleased, O God, to deliver me. O Lord, make haste to help me! 2 Let those be put to shame and confusion who seek my life. Let those be turned back and brought to dishonor who desire to hurt me. 3 Let those who say, “Aha, Aha!” turn back because of their shame.

4 Let all who seek you rejoice and be glad in you. Let those who love your salvation say evermore, “God is great!” 5 But I am poor and needy; hasten to me, O God! You are my help and my deliverer; O Lord, do not delay!

Psalm 71

Prayer for Lifelong Protection and Help

1 In you, O Lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame. 2 In your righteousness deliver me and rescue me; incline your ear to me and save me. 3 Be to me a rock of refuge, a strong fortress,[a] to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress.

4 Rescue me, O my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of the unjust and cruel. 5 For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth. 6 Upon you I have leaned from my birth; it was you who took me from my mother’s womb. My praise is continually of you.

7 I have been like a portent to many, but you are my strong refuge. 8 My mouth is filled with your praise, and with your glory all day long. 9 Do not cast me off in the time of old age; do not forsake me when my strength is spent. 10 For my enemies speak concerning me, and those who watch for my life consult together. 11 They say, “Pursue and seize that person whom God has forsaken, for there is no one to deliver.”

12 O God, do not be far from me; O my God, make haste to help me! 13 Let my accusers be put to shame and consumed; let those who seek to hurt me be covered with scorn and disgrace. 14 But I will hope continually, and will praise you yet more and more. 15 My mouth will tell of your righteous acts, of your deeds of salvation all day long, though their number is past my knowledge. 16 I will come praising the mighty deeds of the Lord God, I will praise your righteousness, yours alone.

17 O God, from my youth you have taught me, and I still proclaim your wondrous deeds. 18 So even to old age and gray hairs, O God, do not forsake me, until I proclaim your might to all the generations to come.[b] Your power 19 and your righteousness, O God, reach the high heavens.

You who have done great things, O God, who is like you? 20 You who have made me see many troubles and calamities will revive me again; from the depths of the earth you will bring me up again. 21 You will increase my honor, and comfort me once again.

22 I will also praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, O my God; I will sing praises to you with the lyre, O Holy One of Israel. 23 My lips will shout for joy when I sing praises to you; my soul also, which you have rescued. 24 All day long my tongue will talk of your righteous help, for those who tried to do me harm have been put to shame, and disgraced.

Psalm 74

Psalm 74

Plea for Help in Time of National Humiliation

A Maskil of Asaph.

1 O God, why do you cast us off forever? Why does your anger smoke against the sheep of your pasture? 2 Remember your congregation, which you acquired long ago, which you redeemed to be the tribe of your heritage. Remember Mount Zion, where you came to dwell. 3 Direct your steps to the perpetual ruins; the enemy has destroyed everything in the sanctuary.

4 Your foes have roared within your holy place; they set up their emblems there. 5 At the upper entrance they hacked the wooden trellis with axes.[a] 6 And then, with hatchets and hammers, they smashed all its carved work. 7 They set your sanctuary on fire; they desecrated the dwelling place of your name, bringing it to the ground. 8 They said to themselves, “We will utterly subdue them”; they burned all the meeting places of God in the land.

9 We do not see our emblems; there is no longer any prophet, and there is no one among us who knows how long. 10 How long, O God, is the foe to scoff? Is the enemy to revile your name forever? 11 Why do you hold back your hand; why do you keep your hand in[b] your bosom?

12 Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the earth. 13 You divided the sea by your might; you broke the heads of the dragons in the waters. 14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan; you gave him as food[c] for the creatures of the wilderness. 15 You cut openings for springs and torrents; you dried up ever-flowing streams. 16 Yours is the day, yours also the night; you established the luminaries[d] and the sun. 17 You have fixed all the bounds of the earth; you made summer and winter.

18 Remember this, O Lord, how the enemy scoffs, and an impious people reviles your name. 19 Do not deliver the soul of your dove to the wild animals; do not forget the life of your poor forever.

20 Have regard for your[e] covenant, for the dark places of the land are full of the haunts of violence. 21 Do not let the downtrodden be put to shame; let the poor and needy praise your name. 22 Rise up, O God, plead your cause; remember how the impious scoff at you all day long. 23 Do not forget the clamor of your foes, the uproar of your adversaries that goes up continually.

Job 28

Interlude: Where Wisdom Is Found

28 “Surely there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold to be refined. 2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted from ore. 3 Miners put[a] an end to darkness, and search out to the farthest bound the ore in gloom and deep darkness. 4 They open shafts in a valley away from human habitation; they are forgotten by travelers, they sway suspended, remote from people. 5 As for the earth, out of it comes bread; but underneath it is turned up as by fire. 6 Its stones are the place of sapphires,[b] and its dust contains gold.

7 “That path no bird of prey knows, and the falcon’s eye has not seen it. 8 The proud wild animals have not trodden it; the lion has not passed over it.

9 “They put their hand to the flinty rock, and overturn mountains by the roots. 10 They cut out channels in the rocks, and their eyes see every precious thing. 11 The sources of the rivers they probe;[c] hidden things they bring to light.

12 “But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? 13 Mortals do not know the way to it,[d] and it is not found in the land of the living. 14 The deep says, ‘It is not in me,’ and the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’ 15 It cannot be gotten for gold, and silver cannot be weighed out as its price. 16 It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphire.[e] 17 Gold and glass cannot equal it, nor can it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold. 18 No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal; the price of wisdom is above pearls. 19 The chrysolite of Ethiopia[f] cannot compare with it, nor can it be valued in pure gold.

20 “Where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding? 21 It is hidden from the eyes of all living, and concealed from the birds of the air. 22 Abaddon and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor of it with our ears.’

23 “God understands the way to it, and he knows its place. 24 For he looks to the ends of the earth, and sees everything under the heavens. 25 When he gave to the wind its weight, and apportioned out the waters by measure; 26 when he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the thunderbolt; 27 then he saw it and declared it; he established it, and searched it out. 28 And he said to humankind, ‘Truly, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.’”

Acts 16:25-40

25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was an earthquake, so violent that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were unfastened. 27 When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors wide open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, since he supposed that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul shouted in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” 29 The jailer[a] called for lights, and rushing in, he fell down trembling before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them outside and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 They answered, “Believe on the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32 They spoke the word of the Lord[b] to him and to all who were in his house. 33 At the same hour of the night he took them and washed their wounds; then he and his entire family were baptized without delay. 34 He brought them up into the house and set food before them; and he and his entire household rejoiced that he had become a believer in God.

35 When morning came, the magistrates sent the police, saying, “Let those men go.” 36 And the jailer reported the message to Paul, saying, “The magistrates sent word to let you go; therefore come out now and go in peace.” 37 But Paul replied, “They have beaten us in public, uncondemned, men who are Roman citizens, and have thrown us into prison; and now are they going to discharge us in secret? Certainly not! Let them come and take us out themselves.” 38 The police reported these words to the magistrates, and they were afraid when they heard that they were Roman citizens; 39 so they came and apologized to them. And they took them out and asked them to leave the city. 40 After leaving the prison they went to Lydia’s home; and when they had seen and encouraged the brothers and sisters[c] there, they departed.

John 12:27-36

Jesus Speaks about His Death

27 “Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say—‘Father, save me from this hour’? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. 28 Father, glorify your name.” Then a voice came from heaven, “I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.” 29 The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, “An angel has spoken to him.” 30 Jesus answered, “This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. 31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. 32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people[a] to myself.” 33 He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die. 34 The crowd answered him, “We have heard from the law that the Messiah[b] remains forever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?” 35 Jesus said to them, “The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going. 36 While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.”

The Unbelief of the People

After Jesus had said this, he departed and hid from them.

Caribbean Spas: Resorts for a Wellness Jaunt

Reducing stress and anxiety are very important to travelers in 2020 — that’s according to a recent survey that Virtuoso conducted among its advisors specializing in the growing wellness niche. The advisors named meditation and mindfulness as the top wellness travel activity and cited spiritual and mental wellness as significant emerging trends. So, if you’re looking for a wellness jaunt, consider these Caribbean spas.  The Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa “promotes a total lifestyle approach that encompasses the entire person — body, mind and soul — in order to provide the most complete and beneficial services” for its guests. Case in point: The Hibiscus Spa is a big draw for travelers. The 7,000-square-foot facility has 13 treatment rooms, two steam and sauna rooms, a women’s whirlpool and Vichy showers.   The most requested treatment is the Ultimate Oxygen Facial, an infusion treatment designed to combat signs and symptoms of aging. The treatment uses hyperbaric oxygen to infuse a combination of antioxidant and hyaluronic acids into the skin, making it look healthier and younger than ever before. Tip: For the Ultimate Oxygen Facial, be sure to request Marie Myers; she is also the top choice for the HydraFacial and Seven Chakras Ritual. Spa director Yarlin Faurer () says she is extremely proud of her team and that everyone is highly requested. The short list: Ask for Sharmin Durant or Marsha Williams for the Herbal Therapeutic Massage Ritual; Sonya Bryne for therapeutic and trigger points massages, such as the Sports Deep Tissue Massage; Susana Tellaroli or Loma Fisher for manis and pedis; Joanna Bond for acupuncture; and Deborah Charttersingh for the Relaxation Swedish Massage. If you’re traveling with your special someone, consider the Heaven on Seven Mile, which includes a beach spa treatment and private gazebo dinner. The evening starts with a 60-minute couples massage on the beach in the spa cabana (a must-book, regardless of the occasion); afterwards, guests head to their private gazebo on the sand for a three-course dinner arranged by the resort’s Beach House restaurant — sparkling wine and personal butler included.  Other services include massages, body scrubs and wraps, manicures and pedicures, and waxing and tinting. Combination packages are also available, which can range from two to five hours. It’s recommended to book as early as possible for any treatment to secure the desired date and time. For guests looking to keep active, the Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa can arrange for horseback riding, kayaking, scuba diving, snorkeling or hikes in a nature trail.  As for accommodations, we would pick the Beachfront Lanai rooms. These king bedrooms are located on the ground floor and offer private patios with walk-out access to the beach. For families who prefer two queen beds, the Beachfront Lanai rooms offer this set up, as well. If you prefer more space, the One Bedroom Suite (780 square feet compared to 392 square feet for the Beachfront Lanais) is the way to go.  In December, the Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa unveiled the updated Tortuga Beach Grill & Bar. Following a $1 million kitchen renovation, the beachfront restaurant now offers an expanded daytime menu with more refined dining choices at night. Tip: Be sure to visit in the evening, as live acoustic music most nights accompanies the sunset. This month, Cayman Coffee Exchange will reopen having tripled in size. In addition to all-day, grab-and-go options for breakfast, sandwiches, salads and gelato, indoor and outdoor café seating is now available. The newest addition to the restaurant lineup will be the opening of Woto, the resort’s sushi, poke and sake restaurant.  For hotel reservations, travel advisors can reach reservation manager Katerina Iliaskou ().

The Mandara Spa at Atlantis, Paradise Island is a 30,000-square-foot facility with 32 private treatment rooms. Another option is the Mandara Spa at Atlantis, Paradise Island. The 30,000-square-foot spa has 32 private treatment rooms, two couple’s villas and two couple’s spa suites with private bathing amenities (yes, please!). The most requested service is the Mandara Customized Massage (tailored specifically to the guests’ needs); however, Mandara Spa at Atlantis has just introduced its new Bahamian-inspired massages with ingredients and traditions indigenous to The Bahamas. Luxury Travel Advisor is told the resort has, in recent years, focused extensively on tying the guest experience back to the spirit of the country and authentic cultural traditions. As for those new spa services, options include the Bahamas Botanical Massage (50 minutes), which uses a selection of native ingredients. Multiple options allow guests to personalize the treatment: One such option (Bahamian Lullaby) is designed to loosen muscles and “melt away tension and stress;” it uses soursop leaf, fevergrass and hibiscus. Island Zest, another option, uses peppermint and neem, and is an energizing formula, while Caribbean Calm reduces inflammation with sandalwood, grapefruit, rosemary and five-finger leaf. The Bahamian Bush Bath (25 minutes) is a hydrotherapy treatment that uses soursop, feather leaf, cinnamon, orange, rose and essential oils to create a fragrant, fizzy, relaxing experience. Good to know: The resort offers a selection of couple’s massages, ranging from 50 to 80 minutes.  Mandara Spa at Atlantis has a variety of seasoned service providers, all of whom have been with the resort for more than six years. They are: Samantha Munnings, Frederica McPhee, Delerese Maycock and Bridgette Barry (all dual); Ava Fowler and Allison Collie (massage); and Leanthe Gibson (esthetician).  Youlanda Deveaux () is the regional vice president of Mandara Spa and is based on-property at Atlantis, Paradise Island. Be sure to eserve your treatment when booking your hotel stay.  Among other parts of the resort, The Cove, the resort’s ultra-luxury tower, has recently been renovated. This 600-suite section of the resort is set between Cove and Paradise Beaches, which creates the feeling of being on your own private beach.  The Cove has its own open-air lobby, retail store, dining (including chef Jose Andres’ only Bahamas residence), an exclusive pool with lavish cabanas and more. Good to know: The spa has set up a special Mandara Spa at The Cove Pool Cabana menu for guests who want to book private massages and treatments at The Cove’s adults-only pool.   If you want the top-of-the-top, book one of the Penthouse Suites, which each occupy a single-story enclave overlooking the Caribbean. Features include vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, two master bedrooms and baths, large parlors, separate dining rooms, full-service kitchens, guest powder rooms, executive offices and full media rooms. Guests booking these rooms receive pre-arrival concierge service, complimentary private transportation, in-suite check-in and 24-hour butler service.  Even the lowest room categories at The Cove (Ocean Suites) are impressive. These split-level accommodations range from 672 to 784 square feet and offer full or partial ocean views. Other amenities include French balconies, walk-in closets, and marble and granite bathrooms.  In addition to The Cove, Atlantis also renovated The Coral, The Beach and The Reef; however, the next best in terms of accommodations can be found at The Royal. These rooms have a more opulent décor than the rooms in The Cove, which have a contemporary look. For the best views at The Royal, book the Bridge Suite, which spans 4,740 square feet (topping the Penthouse Suites, which come in at 4,070 square feet). This suite has 10 rooms, including a 1,250-square-foot living room with a grand piano and twin entertainment centers, a dining room with a 22-karat gold chandelier and 12-foot ceilings; it also comes with a staff of seven butlers and attendants.  Travel advisors may contact Megan Prieto (), director of leisure sales, with any enquiries. 

Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort is set on the site of an 18th-century sugar plantation and has great views of the Pitons. In Saint Lucia, travelers should consider Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort. While the Pitons, which surround the resort, beckon to the adventurous traveler, its setting (within more than 100 acres of rainforest on the site of an 18th-century sugar plantation) makes it worthy of a spa escape.  Here, the Rainforest Spa utilizes the nourishing ingredients of nearby volcanic springs and fertile cocoa plantations. Signature treatments include bamboo massages, hot rock therapies, facials, body wraps, salt scrubs, polishes and holistic treatments. There are six tree house treatment gazebos and three double treatment rooms with a hydrotherapy facility, as well as a manicure and pedicure room with a temazcal (an earthen, Amerindian steam dome), a beauty suite with a hairdressing salon and skin / facial treatment room, and an open-air gazebo suspended over running water at the base of Petit Piton.  Good to know: The spa uses all-natural ingredients such as bananas to firm, tighten and smooth away wrinkles; coconut to exfoliate; aloe vera to rejuvenate; and cocoa butter to heal and hydrate. The Rainforest Ultimate Couples Experience is the most popular treatment; it includes an Organic Sea Salt and Raw Coconut Scrub, followed by a massage with local coconut oil and finishes with a facial. Afterwards — our favorite part — guests will enjoy lunch with a bottle of bubbly in the couple’s room and will have time to enjoy the private outdoor pool. The package is three hours, including lunch and poolside relaxation. Another signature and often-requested treatment is the Coconut Milk Healing Massage, a full body massage that uses locally made body butter that’s enriched with Vitamin E, which helps support the immune system and skin health (meaning it’s great if you get a little too much sun). The two most requested therapists are Vernanka and Leah. Vernanka is a senior therapist who specializes in CACI treatments, and Leah is requested mainly for massages and manicure / pedicure services. Be sure to book at least 21 days prior to arrival with Julie De Brito (), director of spa. All rooms at Sugar Beach have plunge pool, butler service (dedicated cellphone included), turndown service, an in-room iPad and more. Our favorite rooms are the Ocean View Grand Luxury Villas — these have the best views of the beach and Petit Piton, which you can take in from your terrace with a plunge pool. If you prefer to be beachside, we would opt for the Luxury Beachfront Bungalow. If it’s space you’re after, there is a selection of residences ranging from one to four bedrooms.  Don’t-miss events include Social Sundowns, held every Tuesday with cocktails; Champagne Sunset Cruises, available thrice weekly; Caribbean BBQ Night with live music each Friday and — if you’re looking for a livelier experience — Sugar Beats at Cane Bar, where a live DJ performs.  Karen Giordano (), regional director of sales, can handle bookings.

150 of The Most Expensive Keywords on Google (By Industry)

You may have heard that Google Ads is a quick way to get ROI from search engine traffic. This is an appealing prospect, especially because Google runs on a PPC (pay per click) model where you only pay for traffic that actually makes it to your site. However, handing Google your money is a concerning prospect, especially if you’ve heard rumors that it can be cost-prohibitive if you’re bidding in a competitive space on some of the most expensive keywords. 

The best thing you can do for your strategy is understand exactly how Google Ads determines cost per click (CPC) on specific keywords, what makes certain keywords more expensive, and how you can build your ad budget in a way that actually gives you ROI. How Does Google Ads Determine Keyword Costs? Google has many different sources of revenue, but one of their most noticeable is the ads that appear next to search results for specific keywords. How much that keyword costs depends, in part, on how often people search for it — the more people search for a certain keyword, the more expensive it is. Ad placement is determined by an action system. The combined impact of these two factors will determine if and where your ad is placed on the page when a user searches for your query: The maximum bid you specify for the keyword The Quality Score that Google has given your ad These two factors will help Google determine your ad rank. In short, higher bids and higher quality ads win the best placements. 

If a user ends up clicking on your ad, Google determines the cost of that click using the following formula: The ad rank of the person below you divided by your quality score plus $0.01. With this in mind, as long as you have a solid keyword strategy and high-quality ads, you can win ad placements even over organizations that are spending more on Google Ads than you are. The only thing to keep in mind is how strict your competition is. Most Expensive Keywords by Industry While it’s difficult to quantify the most expensive keywords on Google because of the sheer amount of data that changes daily, we’ve broken down the most expensive keywords for some of the most common industries: Legal 

Top CPC: $1090.00Average CPC: $6.75 The legal industry has some of the highest CPCs in this article, primarily due to the high amount of competition they’re up against and the higher ticket service cost. For this industry, we looked at keywords relating to “lawyer,” “attorney,” “legal services,” and a few other related keywords. Here are the ones that topped the list: Keyword CPC houston maritime attorney $1,090.00 offshore accident lawyer $815.00 best motorcycle accident lawyer $770.00 18 wheeler accident lawyer san antonio $670.00 scranton personal injury lawyer $560.00 truck accident attorney dallas $515.00 houston trucking accident attorney $500.00 mesothelioma attorney assistance $490.00 new york construction accident lawyer $485.00 maritime lawyer new orleans $485.00 california auto accident laywer $475.00 auto accident attorney california $465.00 auto accident attorney colorado springs $460.00 car accident lawyer jacksonville $430.00 truck accident lawyer dallas $425.00   Medical

Top CPC: $90.00Average CPC: $2.62 What’s curious about this is that we targeted keywords around the top most common types of doctors, yet it was still urgent care and detox programs that dominated the highest costs per click. Keyword CPC urgent care emr $90.00 hospital alcohol detox $65.00 dermatological problem $65.00 fort lauderdale hospital detox $65.00 transporter hospital $60.00 children’s hospital emergency room near me $60.00 kensington hospital detox $60.00 urgent care jasper tx $55.00 childrens oakland hospital $55.00 weight loss surgery dallas tx $55.00 urgent care snider plaza $50.00 dallas bariatric $45.00 endocrine weight loss $45.00 urgent care 77041 $45.00 urgent care electronic medical records $40.00   Marketing & Advertising

Top CPC: $165.00Average CPC: $3.33 Marketing professionals in this space presumably know advertising tricks to help keep costs down, but this industry is also more likely to put value in Google Ads. That’s why the average CPC is relatively reasonable compared to these top CPC keywords:  Keyword CPC what is marketing channels $165.00 call tracking marketing $125.00 marketing your law firm $120.00 seo and social media marketing services $115.00 affiliate marketing software free $110.00 law firm marketing los angeles $100.00 marketing automation for agencies $100.00 what does cpm stand for in advertising $95.00 3 p of marketing $95.00 marketing cloud software $90.00 ppc advertising management $80.00 marketing integration $80.00 email marketing automation software $80.00 what does ppc stand for in marketing $75.00 best marketing quotes $75.00   Business Software

Top CPC: $95.00Average CPC: $3.80 For this category, we didn’t want to include “SAAS” since that would not be a keyword a consumer would use to find the software of their choice. Instead, we used aggregate keywords around “business software” to see what the most expensive CPCs would be:  Keyword CPC complete business solution $95.00 top 10 help desk software $95.00 help desk software for small business $90.00 small business call center software $85.00 accounting online program $70.00 best online accounting program $60.00 business performance management software $60.00 employee management software for small business $60.00 email marketing software for small business $55.00 best medical billing software for home based business $55.00 marketing automation software for small business $55.00 best crm software for small business $55.00 crm software for small business $55.00 best hr software for small business $50.00 small business marketing software $50.00   Real Estate

Top CPC: $95.00Average CPC: $2.37 Curiously, despite pooling all keywords related to “real estate agent” and “REALTOR” along with the other service-based keywords, it was the descriptive keywords using “fast” or “with cash” that seemed to outpace all others when it came to cost per click. Keyword CPC sell house fast austin $95.00 sell my house fast phoenix $70.00 sell my house fast austin $65.00 sell my house fast san diego $65.00 selling a house as is by owner $60.00 teacher home buying programs texas $60.00 sell my house fast orlando $60.00 quickly sell house $55.00 we buy houses fast for cash $55.00 will my house sell $55.00 sell house cash $55.00 buy house cash or mortgage $50.00 sell house fast for cash $50.00 buy my home for cash $50.00 worst month to sell a house $60.00   Home Improvement Services

Top CPC: $320.00Average CPC: $6.40 The home improvement industry is a large one, but we focused primarily on services such as HVAC, plumbing, and restoration and renovation. It seemed as though air conditioning and water damage seemed to be the ones with the dominant CPC in this group: Keyword CPC ac repair coral springs fl $320.00 emergency flood repair $265.00 flood restoration san diego $210.00 air conditioning repair weatherford tx $210.00 best ac repair phoenix $185.00 air conditioning repair boca raton $150.00 water damage restoration portland oregon $145.00 water damage restoration los angeles $145.00 air conditioning repair phoenix $140.00 air conditioning repair mesa az $135.00 air conditioning repair simi valley $125.00 air conditioning repair plano tx $120.00 water damage restoration mesa az $120.00 water damage restoration dallas $120.00 water damage restoration vancouver wa $115.00   Automotive

Top CPC: $50.00Average CPC: $2.46 For this industry, we decided to pull keywords relating to “auto repair,” “auto body,” and “dent removal,” taking care to remove any insurance or car accident litigation keywords. You’ll notice that lower ticket items such as oil changes and tire services are not present on this list. We can reasonably assume that advertisers in this category want to put their advertising dollars toward higher ticket items: Keyword CPC auto repair shop modesto ca $50.00 paintless dent repair denver colorado $45.00 abs unlimited auto repair $45.00 paintless dent repair mn $40.00 denver auto hail repair $35.00 change oil light $35.00 automotive repair lubbock tx $30.00 auto repair shops stockton ca $30.00 paintless dent repair colorado springs $25.00 auto ac repair las vegas $25.00 auto repair shops omaha ne $25.00 auto repair shop mesa az $25.00 aftermarket automotive warranty $25.00 dent repair colorado springs $25.00 paintless dent repair denver $25.00   Insurance

Top CPC: $280.00Average CPC: $3.44 Car insurance completely dominated the insurance industry: Keyword CPC compare vehicle insurance $280.00 oklahoma auto insurance quotes $210.00 insurance companies okc $185.00 cheapest auto insurance reddit $170.00 insurance strategy $160.00 texas auto insurance quotes online $155.00 preferred auto insurance companies $150.00 what is insurance deductible $140.00 what is premiums in insurance $135.00 fort myers auto insurance $130.00 auto insurance connecticut $125.00 definition collision insurance $125.00 hail damage car insurance claim $120.00 car accident other driver has no insurance $120.00 define insurance brokers $120.00   Loans & Finance

Top CPC: $320.00Average CPC: $3.44  In the finance space, we compiled keywords relating to banking, credit, debt, loans, mortgages, and more. The common theme among the high-CPC keywords was debt relief or loan acquisition (VA loans being especially popular): Keyword CPC irs tax debt relief program $320.00 va loan multi family $190.00 tax credit for college students $135.00 va loan after chapter 7 $130.00 how to get preapproved for a va home loan $125.00 structured settlement loan $105.00 national guard va home loan $95.00 cost to refinance home loan $95.00 how long does a credit card balance transfer take $90.00 va home loan specialist $85.00 will refinancing hurt my credit $85.00 maximum fha loan amount $85.00 does opening a checking account affect credit $80.00 fha loan foreclosure waiting period $80.00 tax debt relief program $75.00   Education

Top CPC: $140.00Average CPC: $2.40  It’s clear that online learning overtook the list of high-CPC keywords. This is likely due to smaller ticket educational items such as certifications, courses, and training not providing high enough ROI to justify such high costs per click. Keyword CPC online business degree programs accredited $140.00 online accredited psychology degree $135.00 online degree in educational psychology $135.00 online business degree florida $135.00 online university college $125.00 online psychology bachelor’s degree $125.00 online college business degree $125.00 fastest criminal justice degree online $125.00 online masters degree in business administration $125.00 parapsychology degree online $125.00 online degree criminal justice $120.00 online school for business degree $120.00 online masters degree programs in healthcare administration $120.00 masters degree in human resources online $120.00 public administration masters degree online $115.00   Some Notes About Our Methods: The list of highest CPC keywords was determined from approximately 10,000 related keywords per industry. This information was accessed from Ahrefs and compiled on April 3, 2020 and should be used only for editorial purposes as there are many more keywords out there, CPC is subject to change with current industry and economic conditions, and keyword tools will provide differing data. Be sure to perform your own keyword research before making advertising decisions. The average CPC per industry is unable to be determined from small datasets, so we pulled this information from WordStream’s keyword benchmarking report.  Didn’t see your industry represented? Follow the steps below to find the keyword costs for your most relevant keywords. How Do I Find Out How Much a Keyword Costs? Thankfully, not everything on the Google Ads platform is so expensive. In fact, WordStream estimates that the average CPC on Google is between $1 and $2.  With CPCs like that, you might be ready to: Decide if Google Ads is right for your business Find out the true cost of your most desired keywords Estimate the budget that it will take to power your lead generation engine The unfortunate part, though, is that Google’s Keyword Planner is no longer available for use if you don’t have an account. That means you’d have to go through the entire process of signing up and providing your payment information upfront, before you’re ready to create your first campaign.  That means you need a way to find keyword cost estimates before committing to a campaign. Here’s how: Use a Third-Party Keyword Research Tool The good news is that Google is not the only place where you can get data about keyword cost and volume. There are a number of keyword research tools that you can use to estimate CPC for the keywords you want to target in your campaign. Brand Overflow Brand Overflow allows you to look up 10 keywords completely free, so if you’re doing preliminary research, this is a great option. After your 10 free keywords, their plans start at $9 per month.  Here’s how to estimate CPC in Brand Overflow: Navigate to the Keyword Tool. Type your desired keyword in the first field.  Ensure that the second field accurately describes the geographic location you’re targeting.  Click the Search button.  Scroll down and look for the AVG CPC box on the left.   SEMrush SEMrush is also a full-scale SEM and SEO platform that includes keyword research and discovery as just a subset of its functionality. Unfortunately, it does not offer any free keyword searches without signing up for an account.  Plans start at $99.95 per month, but have the option to take advantage of a 7-day free trial. This is a great option for those who are doing more in the digital space than just setting up a Google campaign.  Here’s how to estimate CPC in SEMrush: Create an account or log in.  Type your keyword into the search bar at the top. Click the Search button.  You will be directed to the Keyword Overview tool, and CPC is at the bottom of the first box on the left.   Ahrefs Ahrefs is also a full-scale SEM and SEO platform. Its plans start at $99, but there is no free trial. In order to determine if this software is worth the investment, you can start a 7-day trial where you get access to all features for $7.  This is also a great option for individuals investing in search as part of their ongoing website and digital marketing strategies.  Here’s how to estimate CPC in Ahrefs:  Create an account or log in.  Click the Keywords explorer option in the top menu. Ensure Google is selected at the top of the field.  Type your keyword(s) into the field. If you are wanting to do multiple keywords at once, separate them with commas or line breaks. Click the button with the magnifying glass. CPC is represented in the third box in the top row.    Set up a Fake Campaign in Google Ads If the cost of a third-party keyword research tool turns you off, you can still use Google’s Keyword Planner. You just have to go through the campaign process and then turn the campaign off.  Note: By doing this, you’ll see a temporary $50 authorization which Google uses to verify your payment information. This is typically removed within a week. If you don’t turn off your campaign, your card will be charged every 30 days or when you reach your billing threshold. Be sure to review Google’s billing policies yourself before taking this advice.  Here are the steps:  Sign up for a Google Ads account. Go through the prompts to set up your first campaign. Once complete, click Explore Your Campaign.  In the first card that shows the campaign you just created, click the arrow next to Pending.  Select Pause campaign.  Once you verify that you really want to pause the campaign, you now have a Google Ads account and can use the Keyword Planner for free (once the verification money is returned to you, of course). The plus side to this approach is that if you decide to move forward after your keyword research, you already have an account set up and a jump start on building a campaign.  Here’s how to estimate CPC in Google’s Keyword Planner: Navigate to the Keyword Planner. Click Get search volume and forecasts. Type your keyword(s) into the field. If you are wanting to do multiple keywords at once, separate them with commas or line breaks. Select Historical Metrics from the top menu. Instead of providing an average CPC, Google provides a low range estimate and a high range estimate. These are represented in columns on the left side of the table. Getting CPC costs for your target keywords is the first step toward setting up your Google Ads campaign. The next thing you’ll want to do is determine the budget you’ll need to achieve your goals with the campaign. Start by reading our Ultimate Guide on Google Ads or downloading our free Ads kit.

Caribbean Spas: Resorts for a Wellness Jaunt

Reducing stress and anxiety are very important to travelers in 2020 — that’s according to a recent survey that Virtuoso conducted among its advisors specializing in the growing wellness niche. The advisors named meditation and mindfulness as the top wellness travel activity and cited spiritual and mental wellness as significant emerging trends. So, if you’re looking for a wellness jaunt, consider these Caribbean spas. 

The Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa “promotes a total lifestyle approach that encompasses the entire person — body, mind and soul — in order to provide the most complete and beneficial services” for its guests. Case in point: The Hibiscus Spa is a big draw for travelers. The 7,000-square-foot facility has 13 treatment rooms, two steam and sauna rooms, a women’s whirlpool and Vichy showers.  

The most requested treatment is the Ultimate Oxygen Facial, an infusion treatment designed to combat signs and symptoms of aging. The treatment uses hyperbaric oxygen to infuse a combination of antioxidant and hyaluronic acids into the skin, making it look healthier and younger than ever before. Tip: For the Ultimate Oxygen Facial, be sure to request Marie Myers; she is also the top choice for the HydraFacial and Seven Chakras Ritual.

Spa director Yarlin Faurer ([email protected]) says she is extremely proud of her team and that everyone is highly requested. The short list: Ask for Sharmin Durant or Marsha Williams for the Herbal Therapeutic Massage Ritual; Sonya Bryne for therapeutic and trigger points massages, such as the Sports Deep Tissue Massage; Susana Tellaroli or Loma Fisher for manis and pedis; Joanna Bond for acupuncture; and Deborah Charttersingh for the Relaxation Swedish Massage.

If you’re traveling with your special someone, consider the Heaven on Seven Mile, which includes a beach spa treatment and private gazebo dinner. The evening starts with a 60-minute couples massage on the beach in the spa cabana (a must-book, regardless of the occasion); afterwards, guests head to their private gazebo on the sand for a three-course dinner arranged by the resort’s Beach House restaurant — sparkling wine and personal butler included. 

Other services include massages, body scrubs and wraps, manicures and pedicures, and waxing and tinting. Combination packages are also available, which can range from two to five hours. It’s recommended to book as early as possible for any treatment to secure the desired date and time.

For guests looking to keep active, the Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa can arrange for horseback riding, kayaking, scuba diving, snorkeling or hikes in a nature trail. 

As for accommodations, we would pick the Beachfront Lanai rooms. These king bedrooms are located on the ground floor and offer private patios with walk-out access to the beach. For families who prefer two queen beds, the Beachfront Lanai rooms offer this set up, as well. If you prefer more space, the One Bedroom Suite (780 square feet compared to 392 square feet for the Beachfront Lanais) is the way to go. 

In December, the Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa unveiled the updated Tortuga Beach Grill & Bar. Following a $1 million kitchen renovation, the beachfront restaurant now offers an expanded daytime menu with more refined dining choices at night. Tip: Be sure to visit in the evening, as live acoustic music most nights accompanies the sunset. This month, Cayman Coffee Exchange will reopen having tripled in size. In addition to all-day, grab-and-go options for breakfast, sandwiches, salads and gelato, indoor and outdoor café seating is now available. The newest addition to the restaurant lineup will be the opening of Woto, the resort’s sushi, poke and sake restaurant. 

For hotel reservations, travel advisors can reach reservation manager Katerina Iliaskou ([email protected]).

The Mandara Spa at Atlantis, Paradise Island is a 30,000-square-foot facility with 32 private treatment rooms.

Another option is the Mandara Spa at Atlantis, Paradise Island. The 30,000-square-foot spa has 32 private treatment rooms, two couple’s villas and two couple’s spa suites with private bathing amenities (yes, please!).

The most requested service is the Mandara Customized Massage (tailored specifically to the guests’ needs); however, Mandara Spa at Atlantis has just introduced its new Bahamian-inspired massages with ingredients and traditions indigenous to The Bahamas. Luxury Travel Advisor is told the resort has, in recent years, focused extensively on tying the guest experience back to the spirit of the country and authentic cultural traditions.

As for those new spa services, options include the Bahamas Botanical Massage (50 minutes), which uses a selection of native ingredients. Multiple options allow guests to personalize the treatment: One such option (Bahamian Lullaby) is designed to loosen muscles and “melt away tension and stress;” it uses soursop leaf, fevergrass and hibiscus. Island Zest, another option, uses peppermint and neem, and is an energizing formula, while Caribbean Calm reduces inflammation with sandalwood, grapefruit, rosemary and five-finger leaf.

The Bahamian Bush Bath (25 minutes) is a hydrotherapy treatment that uses soursop, feather leaf, cinnamon, orange, rose and essential oils to create a fragrant, fizzy, relaxing experience.

Good to know: The resort offers a selection of couple’s massages, ranging from 50 to 80 minutes. 

Mandara Spa at Atlantis has a variety of seasoned service providers, all of whom have been with the resort for more than six years. They are: Samantha Munnings, Frederica McPhee, Delerese Maycock and Bridgette Barry (all dual); Ava Fowler and Allison Collie (massage); and Leanthe Gibson (esthetician). 

Youlanda Deveaux ([email protected]) is the regional vice president of Mandara Spa and is based on-property at Atlantis, Paradise Island. Be sure to eserve your treatment when booking your hotel stay. 

Among other parts of the resort, The Cove, the resort’s ultra-luxury tower, has recently been renovated. This 600-suite section of the resort is set between Cove and Paradise Beaches, which creates the feeling of being on your own private beach. 

The Cove has its own open-air lobby, retail store, dining (including chef Jose Andres’ only Bahamas residence), an exclusive pool with lavish cabanas and more. Good to know: The spa has set up a special Mandara Spa at The Cove Pool Cabana menu for guests who want to book private massages and treatments at The Cove’s adults-only pool.  

If you want the top-of-the-top, book one of the Penthouse Suites, which each occupy a single-story enclave overlooking the Caribbean. Features include vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, two master bedrooms and baths, large parlors, separate dining rooms, full-service kitchens, guest powder rooms, executive offices and full media rooms. Guests booking these rooms receive pre-arrival concierge service, complimentary private transportation, in-suite check-in and 24-hour butler service. 

Even the lowest room categories at The Cove (Ocean Suites) are impressive. These split-level accommodations range from 672 to 784 square feet and offer full or partial ocean views. Other amenities include French balconies, walk-in closets, and marble and granite bathrooms. 

In addition to The Cove, Atlantis also renovated The Coral, The Beach and The Reef; however, the next best in terms of accommodations can be found at The Royal. These rooms have a more opulent décor than the rooms in The Cove, which have a contemporary look. For the best views at The Royal, book the Bridge Suite, which spans 4,740 square feet (topping the Penthouse Suites, which come in at 4,070 square feet). This suite has 10 rooms, including a 1,250-square-foot living room with a grand piano and twin entertainment centers, a dining room with a 22-karat gold chandelier and 12-foot ceilings; it also comes with a staff of seven butlers and attendants. 

Travel advisors may contact Megan Prieto ([email protected]), director of leisure sales, with any enquiries. 

Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort is set on the site of an 18th-century sugar plantation and has great views of the Pitons.

In Saint Lucia, travelers should consider Sugar Beach, A Viceroy Resort. While the Pitons, which surround the resort, beckon to the adventurous traveler, its setting (within more than 100 acres of rainforest on the site of an 18th-century sugar plantation) makes it worthy of a spa escape. 

Here, the Rainforest Spa utilizes the nourishing ingredients of nearby volcanic springs and fertile cocoa plantations. Signature treatments include bamboo massages, hot rock therapies, facials, body wraps, salt scrubs, polishes and holistic treatments. There are six tree house treatment gazebos and three double treatment rooms with a hydrotherapy facility, as well as a manicure and pedicure room with a temazcal (an earthen, Amerindian steam dome), a beauty suite with a hairdressing salon and skin / facial treatment room, and an open-air gazebo suspended over running water at the base of Petit Piton. 

Good to know: The spa uses all-natural ingredients such as bananas to firm, tighten and smooth away wrinkles; coconut to exfoliate; aloe vera to rejuvenate; and cocoa butter to heal and hydrate.

The Rainforest Ultimate Couples Experience is the most popular treatment; it includes an Organic Sea Salt and Raw Coconut Scrub, followed by a massage with local coconut oil and finishes with a facial. Afterwards — our favorite part — guests will enjoy lunch with a bottle of bubbly in the couple’s room and will have time to enjoy the private outdoor pool. The package is three hours, including lunch and poolside relaxation. Another signature and often-requested treatment is the Coconut Milk Healing Massage, a full body massage that uses locally made body butter that’s enriched with Vitamin E, which helps support the immune system and skin health (meaning it’s great if you get a little too much sun).

The two most requested therapists are Vernanka and Leah. Vernanka is a senior therapist who specializes in CACI treatments, and Leah is requested mainly for massages and manicure / pedicure services.

Be sure to book at least 21 days prior to arrival with Julie De Brito ([email protected]), director of spa.

All rooms at Sugar Beach have plunge pool, butler service (dedicated cellphone included), turndown service, an in-room iPad and more. Our favorite rooms are the Ocean View Grand Luxury Villas — these have the best views of the beach and Petit Piton, which you can take in from your terrace with a plunge pool. If you prefer to be beachside, we would opt for the Luxury Beachfront Bungalow. If it’s space you’re after, there is a selection of residences ranging from one to four bedrooms. 

Don’t-miss events include Social Sundowns, held every Tuesday with cocktails; Champagne Sunset Cruises, available thrice weekly; Caribbean BBQ Night with live music each Friday and — if you’re looking for a livelier experience — Sugar Beats at Cane Bar, where a live DJ performs. 

Karen Giordano ([email protected]), regional director of sales, can handle bookings.
