#properly speaking the language. however this doesn’t seem to be a requirement for english speakers which is just supremely puzzling

i find it so weird that native english speakers aren’t taught proper linguistics in school

Religion

Since I've talked about being a lama, having long life, and looking young.  I thought the next topic I'll write on is religion.  There are a variety of misunderstandings regarding religion.  After a multi-faith council and a declassification(and censorship) meeting.  It was decided that the groups would find their own way of making things clear.  But faced the fact if they didn't dispel myths and clarify things the future would see a less positive change for them.

Some churches carry secure archives.  They have historical artifacts and documentation preserved there and kept safe from people that might abuse it.  The churches sometimes are seen as irrational and not compatible with science and rational thought.  This happened after disputes saw many frauds enter the system using the community power to get people into certain habits or practices.  The churches for several faiths always had a faith and belief in technology and evidence based systems.  Some of the churches had a belief in a creator that didn't clash with science and some were atheist that saw things as a non thinking non-feeling process(un-sentient).

The word "Theist" means to have a theory.  Which is the same thing the people in churches had at the time so they often agreed to disagree.   Though some saw radical or polarized beliefs in a church environment might cause trouble.  However that doesn't mean the same process can't happen with atheist.  For churches the news would carry a consistent organization and for the atheists it would just mention individuals.  So we remember the church controversies easier from repetition.  Religious organizations often removed these groups from their list of approved or condoned groups.

Years ago we found some people setting up fake churches in ruins or remote areas.  Occasionally they moved into an old abandoned building.   These people often weren't monks or priests.  They were gangs hiding their haul from theft, their people from prosecution, or running a drug operation.  They would dress like monks or priests, keep some religious looking books around(sometimes stolen from other places or copied in part).  Then they would take donations from people, occasionally pretend to council people.

The fakes would make claims to police and military that they couldn't enter as it was a church.  Usually people would look it up unless they had been in the area a long time.  Even then we would look it up most of the time.  Often we would find that yes a church once was in the area but was either in ruins or there was a priest or monk in the area at one time.  But that the priest or monk didn't settle there and make a building.  Sometimes they have tried to falsify records at main buildings to make them look legitimate.  Part of why the Vatican openly has a police group and guard everywhere.

When people first started saying they heard voices from heaven or the sky.  It was a misunderstanding caused by some natural phenomenon such as echos carrying or people that weren't aware when radios or satellites were made.  There is a cave that has a natural crystal radio.  As a child I was in it and we wondered where the voices we heard came from.

We knew it wasn't some ghost or monster and investigated the cave more and the stones it was made of.  We found another cave that was similar and ran our own tests saying things back and forth.  The minerals are probably rare in their combination in most places but not in that area where we found more and marked them for distance communication.

Later technology saw us remove the rocks in mining operations to re-purpose them.  Look up how a crystal radio is made you will see how simple it can be; especially with certain precious metal veins or crystal veins running underground or in a mountain range.  As a fact its part of the reason we knew to run lines to carry signals.

Army’s inflatable antennas make light work of satcom in the field

The military and army had piezoelectric crystal radios much longer than those articles admit.  Radio has existed for longer than the articles also mention and was known before the 1800s though not widely known or discussed.  Some of them broke while in use.  Some were in private collections and not put in public museums.

People also were testing speakers(with kite string wires or off of balloons) and directional antennas that bounced sound to the ground.   Some people in village that didn't know what was going on thought they heard the voice of god.  It wasn't that but it was a military communication system or inventors test of devices.  I used one of these while out in a rural area when I needed to send a message without more modern technology.  In the known cases with villages people tried to explain to them but they didn't understand the technology and were more comfortable thinking it was the voice of a god.

Some old languages are also not dead and have been misinterpreted by some archaeologists and anthropologist causing poor translations.   Somethings require local life knowledge to grasp their slang or word applications.  Also some people didn't consider a different language.   Some of the Tamil had lived in South America and this included some of my family.  Pachacuti was my grandpa and the Manu name is found as Manco Cápac or Manco Inca.  Siri comes from Sayri and none of the birth/death dates are quite accurate(it was seen as a security thing at the time). The Hanan dynasty is the found as the Han dynasty in China and the Xin was active in Africa(Congo/Mauritania/Nigeria).  

South America is actually the continent of Mu which once was known as the dragon (dinosaur) but suffered some continental damage in some events they had in history and then connected to North America which once was known as the Elephant(Yaṉai, Gadjah, Ane/Ana, or Haathee/Hathawa - "Hope" the Water Elephant) or some called it Ganesha. Others called the one continent Mu because it was a sound a cow makes and they thought it looked like a cow head.  A map showing it looks more like a dinosaur.  Though now the damage was enough to several areas of the world the original continent shapes aren't the same.

Lantia or Atlantis was actually China and was to look like a big ray fish.  The city attributed to that name is in Africa(Eye of the Sahara - damaged by a Tsunami during an impact offshore) but there was another "eye" city in India.  Antarctica was known as the Bird (Manuk - from the Manu/Manco/Mang) or the Bird of Paradise(Manuk Saka Swarga) but after it was covered by snow it was called white rabbit.  India and Sri Lanka was Vantu(Beetle), Europe had a horse shape(Hevonen, Hester, or Arklys - people of the Ark), and Africa as the Heart(Cuore, Xin, or Okan).

Even looking at a current map of the world if you rotate it you can see some of the original shapes.  So there aren't really any lost continents they are just shifted in maps or have other names in the modern map.   For the dynasties and overlaps the world came to use a diverse calendar system.  Some use solar some use lunar but there are a lot of calendars and rarely were people using the same one.

Many of our languages use a different glyphic system, often phonetics.   Languages became creoled meaning they have loan words and are mixed.   Some phrases are localized slang and only in more connected circumstances or shared circumstances things overlap.  But if your paying attention realize the loan words(despite language speed or accent).

In old records my family kept and others kept in secure places these facts were documented.  However others came, caused trouble, there were disasters and everyone to keep the peace just didn't talk about things anymore.  In the books that are in museums or mentioned publicly often real peoples faces are hidden by masks drawn over them using the semaphore symbol for Manaz(security).  The odd item is probably though in someones private collection as well.  If you look at a map of the earth you can still make out some of the original shapes.

Everything About Calendars

The Incan translations are off these words are english phonetics of chinese words turned into a phrase or single word.  Pachacuti wasn't the name of the man.  It literally translated as 啪嚓粗体 which in turn doesn't easily or properly translate unless each symbol or grouping is taken into account.  The meaning was actually a status report if others in the military came across the planets remains.  

啪 Pow - combat or land

嚓 Cracking  or snapping

粗 coarse, rough, vulgar, rude, crude, thick, heavy, bulky, drifter, homeless

体 prison, pallbearer, body, inferior, health, form, field, appearance

This translated into:  The land has cracked, it's adrift, using a containment field(to keep atmosphere).  Combat happened, it was rough, and the world(land) is dead.  Combat was heavy and we are homeless.  You can see now how the calendar they had speaks of destruction and seems to stop.

It was a compressed text cipher that is encapsulated meaning more than one word meaning is used to save space and keep things short for quicker communications.  At one point because of how it sounded in another language it got nicknamed "Papa Roach" as in "Father bug" and also "Old Man"(Old cout and Cout also means Scout).  The music was a complex cipher(Audio/Video, etc) and took a very long time to be released to the public and by then they didn't realize or necisarily care what it was. They couldn't read the messages in the cipher and took the music and lyrics at face value.

Many declassified audio/video ciphers have that sort of response.  The other names also translate into something.  As you can see the items used are two characters(one uses 3) each vs a single glyph.  But the two characters make a new third glyph when combined.  This is also a type of encapsulation.  Some of the single words in their combinations the meaning has been lost in modern times but think of them like cave drawings.

One glyph says they were looking out the window(or going through a hatch) and had taken samples(storage), one said engineering and life sciences, another said ships antenna, another also said saw(or went through hatch) damage(weapon or device).  The B like symbol was used for hatch or window and the one symbol was same meanings as the christian cross(science wise).  A similar symbol to the cross shape was used to indicate ship.  One symbol meant antenna or wind power generation(green power).

Some of the other glyphs also had secondary meaning as icons for things much like you use today.  Imagine how someone will view your emoticons and such in the future if they were an archaeologist.

These glyphs the archaeology was carefully handled in some spots and the information classified or censored at the time.  But just enough things were out that the ancient chinese and indian cultures do imply or speak of space travel.  Also as I've said the continents had mostly animal shapes.  They were planed and made those ways.  Meaning moving or creating land wasn't new.  This was a diplomatic area before damage was caused.  The damage links to issues on a much larger planet(Earth was one of its moons).

If archaeologists and anthropologists had handled things better there would be less confusion and less myths or legends for some of it.  Some did not deliberately mislead and honestly lacked some life experience or education.  A few however were simply seeking fame and got involved in antiquities fraud(for money); partly as a way to money launder stolen gold, etc.

A mistake one made once was to mix up a marker for a face mask on a sarcophagus.  Typically a wooden or ceramic mask would of been inside on the mummy.  The "gold" or stone cases sometimes depicted a mask with handle(sort of like Mardi Gras masks have them or bases of hand mirrors).

At the time people also used to use a tie on condom made of woven plant leaves.  Someone put it on his face as a joke when dealing with foreigners asking questions.  They then thought it was to be a fake beard and then proceeded to make fools of themselves.  But others were tired of them claiming to "discover" things that others already knew or taking their historical items.

In Indonesia area there are two islands with creatures outsiders think are extinct.  Others aren't welcome there and it is managed and watched over by special park rangers.  One bird is very dangerous and related to a pterodactyl and the other is a vegetarian reptile that is nocturnal and blends in with plants.  People tried to get at them once to hunt or take as a trophy.  Fearing they would kill the few that were left they attacked the foreigners and everyone got protective of the area.

Time went on and more people ended up on the islands; larger cities formed.  So unless your local to the two areas, even if your Indonesian, etc you may not know they exist and even locals will attack people who are Indonesian seeking them to protect the animals.  They will not talk of it with outsiders.  It isn't Jurassic Park but someone once tried to set up a small private island with attempts to clone some.  One dinosaur skeleton was found once that tests proved it had plastic or resin in it along with horse and alligator DNA.

Why Is Radiocarbon Dating Important To Archaeology?

There are ways to fake age an item so that it can pass radio carbon dating.  So there is a newer method to also spot fakes vs real items.   Though it is not disclosed to the public as a result of the people that have tried to beat carbon dating and also DNA tests.  Synthetic DNA and 3d printing technologies allow people to fake bones and even soft tissues in a way that can make them seem to be from a real thing from the past.  However people good at lab work or with enough experience and knowledge can spot these frauds.

I tried to look them up online but wasn't able to find it.  Perhaps it was my search terms but it could be that it is blocked from public to reduce the problem.  Some people have made art frauds with computers and also 3d scanning or using photo realistic face masks.  I will admit in past for movies sometimes we did use skeletons with reconstructed faces as our characters.  Later we found out some resembled people that were currently alive.(possible decedents or DNA re-occurance for appearance factors.)

Somethings from history are obvious.  In an Egyptian pyramid you can clearly see some symbols still in use today.  Amut used to be a emblem used by the coroners office and a single snake on a stylus for medical.(after a fallout with Apophis and Serapis)  Some items were defaced and changed.  Aset or Set symbol animal was not originally an anteater it was a giraffe(named Qlin).  Qlin or Set is on Scandinavian boats and some mistook it for a goat head.

Somethings people assume in history were fake or "ancient aliens" but they aren't fake.  Some are from people of the time using space suits/atmosphere suits or hazmat type health safety suits and more rural people not knowing what they were.  Other things were real vehicles people were making and testing.

While most were from that time period one or two weren't and were a result of an incident involving the military.  They had to unfortunately leave something in a old building after officers were attacked and walled up in a fake pyramid(it wasn't one of the original).  It did though make people tourist money later for people that believed it really was built by ancients.

One of the religious stories of past is related to my own cousin.  His father known as a Islamic leader(family of Mohammad).  When the boy was small they realized he had hemophilia like some others in the family.   The baby got hurt as he fell down and bruised his leg and got a cut.  He died as a result.  His family mourned him greatly as he was only a toddler and they had waited until late in life to have children.  The boys mother sat at his side mourning and preparing the body.  She didn't want to leave it nor did his father.  Others convinced them to take a break and said they would sit with the body.  Later they returned and with others around the boy resuscitated scaring everyone.

They weren't sure what to think, tested the child to make sure it was the same person that left.  Weird stories were going around about hatian type zombies.  But they never used that stuff and wouldn't on their baby.  The baby(named Krishna) was fine but they needed to move because of the stir it caused.  He literally was their little miracle.  Later he had two children and passed at an older age.

His father unfortunately was grabbed by some radicals wanting to take over Islam and they tortured and murdered him.  Which is what we equate to part of Christs death.  In the word "Jesus" we find the term "Je suis" which mean's "I am"(french) and for science and engineering it links to the physicians oath, and similar oaths.

Years ago some foreigners got near some of the old books while visiting.  They were allowed to look at them as scholars.  But they became mad at a local farmer.  They enjoyed the fruits and vegetables so much they wanted to grow them at home.  The person took some and tried with no farming experience.  They didn't understand simple soil ph or soil chemistry and plant requirements.  They spoke to a farmer asking how to make the plants grow but the farmer didn't like foreigners or their remarks about historical items.  He told them to put cow manure on things.

The man's plants suffered from problems over soil ph, etc and the manure made it worse.  The man swore he'd get revenge so changed somethings in a translation.  Then said "We'll see who buys the bull this time."  The "bull" in bible is supposed to mean bibliography but church elders at the Vatican, etc could tell you they have several copies of the bible in several languages.  Some really are a load of something and others have varying accuracy of translation but nothing deliberately to mislead.

The "Testament" was a project to record the stories of elders or survivors of certain events in history.  There is more than the old and new.  There were at least 3 books that I remember and perhaps one or two others that followed.  Some are far more modern accounts of things.

The explanation of the Earth's situation at that time some people rejected it and rather than have further problems they adapted(to peoples denial and stress.  In destruction they lost much.)  This made some translations "fuzzy" not just people poorly understanding languages.

The scientific explanation isn't fully true nor is it a lie.  Long ago the first planet formed from what you might call a ball of energy in space or spark.  It materialized layers around it like a 3d printer.   Eventually the cooler outer layers developed life in a subterranean system where minerals generated light as did molten flows.

People developed moved around, mined, etc and eventually got out to the surface which had no atmosphere at the time.  Until things were put near an area to grow out of an entrance to the surface.  You can find molluscs and other creatures in subterranean areas, as well as lichens and other plant type materials.

The planet destabilized with time from all the mining and other things. Earthquakes, volcanic problems, and other things went on.  Forcing people to find an alternative.  As already curious if they were alone in space they started making ships to explore and then moved to making livable space habitats for the survival of people.  They learned how to make space ships with earth like areas inside them and figured out how to build a planet using microorganisms and advanced physics methods.

A few people stayed on the planet refusing to leave when it blew up.   After the explosion two stars emerged.  People recycled part of the destroyed planets.  One of the new suns in a sky that originally was dark with no sun; started making a new planet.

So it was learned how the original planet was made.  The one sun didn't make anything new for a long time.  When it did it didn't do it again.   The sun that started constructing a planet had similar life development on it.  Watched by its neighbours on artificially made worlds and in ships.  The world developed but they didn't make contact for awhile trying to figure out how well things would be handled for they wanted peace not war.

Also the new planets people that developed had no idea what we had witnessed to grasp their origins.  Some were in denial over how they came about until a long time passed and they also saw it.  Before that though they had seen others make worlds and were angry and combative in some cases.

One of the artificial worlds was built over a Dyson Shell with remains of the original world preserved in a field.  Which likely lead to the flat earth stories and the stories of a firmament.  Though the latter also could be remnants of being subterranean.  People at one point forgot who they were after disasters and wars.

Their new family from the one young new star that made a planet weren't so ready for contact and when they found the reconstructed world thinking it a normal planet started trying to invade and control.  They didn't want further problems so threatened others and basically held people hostage when they realized others were far more advanced in technology.  On the planet they were hassling people were mostly pacifists that didn't want war.

After people were attacked the others didn't want them to know anything of their history destroying books, technologies, etc.  Some technologies they took back to their own planet or sold.  An uprising happened and people were freed.  Returning to their technology and other people.  The others fled and became known as criminals which some in mythology might of equated to demons or pirates.

The rules described in the commandments were an attempt by leaders to stop some problems people were having socially.  Eventually it lead to a legal system to enforce rules of behaviour and protect society.

Priests used to be warriors, teachers, doctors, veterinarians, agriculturalists, architects, and scientists.  They counsel led people, lead festivals or celebrations.  They often advised or lead.  The word priest is from another word which translated into "fish" but the fish in Christianity was a symbol of DNA(life sciences).

The temples or churches used to be schools, store houses, hospitals, meeting rooms, or leaders homes where they kept a safe area for others to retreat to.  Monks(or sisters) used to maintain a treasury and would mint coins and track market exchange.  Some of them did some of the same jobs as priests.

Priests (and nuns) often weren't celibate and had partners(orientation wasn't necessarily an issue).  Sometimes people stayed single because of the job or they just didn't seem to find the right person.

When I say job related I mean they often had to come in contact with people or animals with illness and tend to them, they might have to travel a lot locally or abroad(long distance relationships or term marriages), sometimes in defence of others they had to fight causing PTSD or people reacting to the fact they were capable of killing in battle or in defence of  someone(police).

Also for married or partnered people(couples) there is trying to tend to things alone including finances, family business, household, and children or elderly.  Life is hard enough sometimes without the extra responsibilities being a certain type of leader or career calls for.

Some people equated as gods in history weren't gods they were simply leaders in some regard or people involved in events that stood out.   They were written down and talked about.  Some are claimed to be marriages of close blood relatives.

This was not true.  Often places had a co-rule system requiring a female leader and male leader; each handling their own set of duties.  Their spouses weren't always mentioned.  Sometimes they were listed by more than one name as a secondary title or as a security thing to mislead problem people.  Things were also defaced and changed more than once.

There are some christian similar african and asian religions.  None really are Egyptian related.  But people always claim they are related. Usually citing single god worship of Atun.

Christianity is called a monotheism but depending on the branch it's a Henotheism or Polytheism.  That is including saints or the concept of a triple god(father, son, holy ghost, or matron, maiden, and crone.)   Catholics fall under polytheism or Henotheism.  Monotheism wouldn't need to point out 3 forms(equated to states of life).  Humans and gods can die(according to some myths) and have stages of life(also in myths).

A singular non human entity wouldn't fit those definitions which we have humanized or made similar to us.  When Atun's beliefs are commonly described he's either Henotheistic or Monotheistic as he believes in or follows a single(not a triple).  Christians also have a mother goddess mentioned which is Mary and another the Magdalena.  Which equates to mother and mothers helper or possibly surrogate mother based on the stories.

In Christianity and several other religions a "flame" is mentioned.   Some equate this with the sun or planetary core.  Others relate it to a scientific artifact not on display to the public.  A device developed to provide assistance in an emergency by augmenting someone with a knowledge base of a person with experience that might of passed on.(Similar to what you see on the show "The 100," "Johnny Mnemonic", and one other show demonstrated similar units.)

While many devices were external people had tried medical implants some of which were socket able to clip something into for an instant intuitive update.  Since they would feel physically familiar and more confident than someone simply passing them sets of instructions from a wristband, ear piece, or augmented reality device.

Such devices if found during conflict might get confiscated and become useful to a combatant.  So one system being locked to certain things would then become useless, especially if they didn't grasped how it was made.

Catholic's once had a working device and so did the Zoroastrian's and one other religion.  Also through artificial processes people could be carriers of memory to return to recall what they knew of their own past life from that time forward.

Other people could naturally do this.  It tends to be called reincarnation.  In my family it isn't needed for those that have reincarnation it is natural and has to do with a natural genetic combination that affects memory, longevity, and ability to resuscitate.

One of the first times I died was saving a child from a bunch of criminals that were abusing her when I was a kid.  I was hurt as was the child, and took the kid somewhere safe and got medical help.  Then they found us and killed us both(the doctor and I) and took the child.   Another time I lived a ripe old age and passed with my family around me.  I've also died in battle and from sickness.

A List of All Religions and Belief Systems

There are things in the Islamic belief system which has been proven to be facts.  All belief systems that are considered valid choices have some proven facts.  In Islam my family proved the beliefs on people and their blood types.  With AO and BO chimeras naturally occurring they can produce children of singular blood types or mixed from chimerism.

It came to pass that some people were living in a cave city communally each doing their part and also sometimes doing trade.  They were in the cave due to other events in the world but had technologies higher than the people that came to attack them.  They didn't like war and didn't want death around.  But the group came during the season of births and celebration.

The Sheppard took the sheep out to pasture outside the caves.  The man was threatened and then they killed all the sheep and released him to bring people out.  They then called them the lambs of god and took some of the men and put a muzzle on them like one puts on a dog.

It became a tradition of their people to attack the others and do this then write up their own laws and claim that the Islam religion is theirs and that people should obey them.  This was a community under attack and the labels are a result of their attackers as are many misconceptions over what Islamic or Muslim people believe.

People didn't have to pray 5 times a day.  The clothing they wore was for different reasons as several were in medical sciences and agriculture.  The breaks were taken for health reasons.  Some of them were meals or just rest like having breaks at your job for coffee or lunch.

If prayer or meditation happened it was at sunrise or sun set.  The reason for that I won't explain here but it is very old.  Prayer or meditation was a time for reflection on the day or issues of concern or joy.  We gave thanks to life and it is symbolic in the energy of the sun.  Sometimes we sang or did yoga at those times.  Which somehow translated into prayer mats and long drawn out group prayers.

You can be alone or in a group and don't have to segregate by gender.   That only came about because someone was not well and to keep away diseases.  It came into the mythology of not looking at the bride before a wedding because the groom once got sick in travel and unknowingly made his bride ill along with the other men who spread it to their female family.  In the weddings the woman would work together so that looked like segregation when it wasn't to outsiders.

My Islam side of the family tree knows all about it and how outsiders hassled people and then tried to proclaim themselves leaders.  As leaders they demanded people donate to their church and them giving them the best food, etc or god might punish them.  These problem people didn't care if people starved to death, lived in rags, died of illness, or lost their children.  They treated them like cattle or worse at the height of their awful behaviour.  The legitimate people shared with others and others donated to the shared food reserves, etc and helped in the running, upkeep, and events.

While modern times have seen certain costs for priests that didn't once exist.  Most priests of any religion tend to work a second job and work with others on provision of pastoral care, education, counselling, and other services.  The religious communities have businesses to help fund them which some parishioners are part of but other ones systems don't allow that.  Some strictly refuse donations or demand participation.

Religious Symbolism isn't always what we think it means.  Many have seem to lost touch with the original meanings of many of them.  Some are part of a semaphoric system to communicate between communities in need of aid from war, health issues, or criminal attack.  Occasionally to commemorate something.

Adinkra Symbols and their meaning (English and Twi)

Some churches symbols were completely changed from their original meanings and stories linked to them that had nothing to do with that symbol.  The icon of Christ is one such symbol.  The priests were scientists and warriors.

The ring of thorns is a throwing weapon in the vine/rope category.  The mark or cut in the side is from an appendectomy as a sign of medical knowledge and surgery.  The scrawniness reminding us of how people struggled for food until we learned agricultural sciences.

The loin cloth a sign of industry and crafts in cloth manufacturing which was one of the oldest industries(outside of cooking and hunting). The spikes on the cross showing the pains miners took in learning to find precious resources and refining them; in caves sometimes you find stalactites which look like thorns and were called cave thorns.  

The cross symbolized electricity and communications as did him facing the sky to talk to his father in heaven.  Which was a sign to flight, wireless communications, and satellites(rockets and radios go way back).  The paleness symbolized pigment loss from vitiligo or albinism sometimes caused by chemistry, electronics, a possible virus, or genetics.

It also covered blood transfusions of which our first one is in conception and birth through the umbilical chord.  The book or sign on the cross a symbol of writing and putting things down to be remembered. A flower sometimes used as a memory that the world does have beauty in it and that sometimes that beauty is medicinal; though sometimes symbolizing a satellite dish.

Other symbols is the baptismal cross is a Buddhist wheel, Jerusalem cross is a Taoist continuous knot/Celtic knot and links to the alternative to mandalas, Ichthus is the same as the Taoist goldfish, the lamb connects them to Islam, the dove connects them to me, the rings link to physics(and Dyson Rings/Shells), the Star of David is linked to Astra(not astral) planes, bread and wine connects to food production and fuel production(the chalice a replacement for the linga or rocket drum), Pelican links to supply ships, the palm is similar to the seed or conch(palm plants also are used in a variety of products).

Symbols of Islam

Buddhist and catholic prayer beads have two different meanings or historical uses.  At one time it was easy to put seeds on a string for planting a garden.  You could space the beads for easy planting like how we now use seed tape.  Also you could wear a bracelet of stones for a weapon if something might attack.  Later both seeds and stones were replaces by other ems for decorative wear.

At first wearing seeds was either a sign of wealth or that the person found a new crop of edible wild plants to grow at home and tame for medicine or food.  They would always carry a needle or have plant needles nearby and take a thread if they tore their clothes or found a edible plant.  The early days were hard and people sometimes had to go without eating to let a plant seed so they could have much more food the following year.

People learned to say rhymes, songs, or prayers, to remember how many seeds were needed to prosper for an average family.  People also learned to collect plants for other properties that weren't edible such as clothing, dyes, animal feeds, fuel, chemistry, etc.  They also would take and trade seeds with others and carrying them in bracelets or necklaces was easier.

In Hinduism the Yatra and Mendala's are linked to physics and waveform technologies.  Why some translate it to mean machine.  The Linga has to do with a space engine and is related to a drum that was later made from one.

My DNA shape oddly in it's super-coil resembled the Darmachakara.  The "Om" is for the word "Poem" as in the universe and it's consort(mirror/sibling) are believed to be from song or poetry of sound; cymatically produced.

The shape was believed to be a seed(

Loasa Chilensis

) or flower shape(

Lamourouxia viscosa

).  Another type of universe uses a seashell type, with it's equivelant of a linga, etc and two goldfish for DNA(chimera or male/female).

In Taoist we see the use of a different system from cymatic mandalas that used a type of string theory and are useful even other dimensional settings.  They also have a tree of life similar to

Yggdrasil

of the Scandinavians.

In the Taoist revered people I was the only woman.  Some people had tried to imitate some of the others but one links to my brother and chimerism causing him an obvious intersex state.  In my case physically(and reproductive organ wise) I look like a completely normal female.  As a chimera I had some health issues (double optic nerve, double urethra from bladder, menorrhagia, etc) and it was found that I had a male brain among other things(but no penis).  The one imposter for some reason was mimicking Waria(of Indonesia).

It was common to cross dress for safety.  Men would dress as women to avoid men looking for another man.  Women would dress as a man to be treated as an equal in some situations.  Some cultures had neutral dress.  Changes in society made this unnecessarily.  Though people still disguise themselves sometimes to avoid capture.

So I was female but considered gender neutral.  My family member was intersex and considered undecided on what he was.(gender fluid)

In Mayan symbols the marker on a linga say either 1925 or 2125.  I think it might be from 1925(a date of when the rockets were first used or when the satellite had to be destroyed).

The Sikh use a metal bracelet, chakram, and swords or dagger as their symbols.  The bracelet with a scarf or  piece of fabric can be used as a grapple for climbing or in self defense with hojo jutsu.  They were taught to defend and protect their families and community.

Their founder was a police officer who had trained as a child with a very old policing group (in Nawa District) and in a sense they are considered a police community.  Most associate them to farmers or the textile industry.  There used to be a joke about halos, Frisbee's, and chakram.  Frisbee and discus comes from chakrams as a more peaceful use.

Some once wore chakrams on their heads over their head scarf as they were dull on the inside and only had an exterior edge blade.  Turbans were dew rags which could also double as a bowl for drinking water when out, a helmet, extra clothing, bandages, or holding medicine/plants, or patches for clothing, and in rope method marshal arts it has many other uses.  The small dagger refers to their general medical knowledge for first aid if someone becomes ill and needs appendectomy or other treatment, it also is useful if your alone in nature.

The Nihang's nickname "The Immortals" was from life extension therapies; 3 methods were used.  I also helped equip them at one point. I remember the incident with the Nihang and Muslims at the temple in Amritsar, as I was present.

Other's in Islam that were legitimate wouldn't of deliberately shown such disrespect. But not all Mosques listened to my family even knowing our relation to Mohammad.  They did not disrespect me while there only the others.  I was able to calm down both but not until the Nihang made their point as the others thought Sikh's weak.

One of them did start to disrespect me but his elder(leader) stopped him and told him to quit it.  He asked why and he told him it was none of his business.  This is because he knew my family was linked to both Islam and Hindu's and he didn't want to discuss church politics with him.  I also had to break up the Nihang and their battle but had waited long enough to let them make their point and then said they needed to stop.

One of them wanted a special water gourd I had and something else.   Something others do not mention nor why the leader though not totally happy about things hesitated in causing me harm or insult.  Few knew the full event details.  But some did know and recorded it and that record isn't public.  Only other things relevant to them was made public.

Hindu symbology goes to things you wouldn't consider anymore and think less possible.  Ganesha as a face mask for diving or travelling high up.  Skulls on Kali's necklace pearls of war which later reminded us of re-purposing them for peace.  Pearls were a type of ship based off of us being closer to water than space.

The Vajra also a ship as were the Bramastra which you now simply know as the Astra ship since it was declassified in the non weaponized early test version.  There are other things called Astra and were reenactments of declassified projects(like NASA has done).  The Vaj Ra had a sister ship(Dor Je) but the Vajra also had an earlier incarnation as its design also mimicked a bolo weapon.  Later made as a brass children's toy.

for awhile and it's larger Jumbo Space Plane.)

Symbols of Angels can also be explained by flight and also police, military, and doctors, that all rapidly deploy.  Earlier symbols showed birds by a person or another object.  Later symbols combined them into a single thing.  Alot of mythelogical creatures are created by the same process and were linked to military or police units and their tales a fictional one or real ones altered by time and circumstances.

When people met in groups during war and didn't want to hear the shouting and death, they sang songs, put on plays, and told stories, or worked together on crafts that might be noisy.  These later became church hymns or songs.  Years ago groups made up their own for their own "church" or "temple" but after people compiled popular ones into books which all the groups started to share and use as they had cultural exchanges.

Some songs are specific and used as special messages(cipher text, color and music cipher) and others more personal.  Though people may of forgot some of the authors the people of the times agreed to allow others to sing their song and learn it too.

Some songs authors are remembered but current modern books do not disclose their names and there is a reason for it and in some cases its to protect descendants.  Some songs are of struggle and others about joy and love, they are the tales of many families that shared with their community or others.

We used to use prayer with an alert system that warned us if there was a serious issue that police or military needed to check or if medical had to go help.  We don't really use that system anymore though it does track large groups focus to warn of wars or disasters.  This lead to myths about angels appearing to help people.

Generally angels don't demand your belongings, etc its just common sense.  If one is hurt it might ask for help but usually officers have what they need and wont go bothering you for money, your first born, etc.  That is some twisted person whose a criminal and misusing technology.

No they aren't using the system to spy on you but they do pay attention to some criminals who probably don't like it very much.  Most of the time the surface area police handle their stuff, the space group theirs and the core group their issues but there are a few courts that deal with all regions and any weird stuff.

There also has been research into if souls exist, life after death, etc.  The devil comes from the word development, demon from demonstrate, and evil from electronic city.  Satan comes from the words "satellite N" or Sat "N" which ended up shot down after someone took too much weird interest in it to prevent a space incident.  It has a replica in a museum and is seen a a cultural heritage piece and called the Pejeng Lunar Drum or maybe it's the other drum they had as there are two different ones and one is from a space capsule.

The people hearing broadcasts off of it started going on and on about "Satan" because they heard its call-sign and it was recorded before the decision to blow up the satellite which was also recorded.  Years later a "pearl"(Dyson Shell) was named Sat N and it is what you now call Neptune(though not the original it is a copy of Neptune 3).  People had a similar weird response to the kite and balloon communication systems.   Once triggering a war by those that didn't understand the technology.

I see religion more as spirituality.  A few of them know quite well where the universe came from, how they came into existence, etc.  Most are science aware and savvy, but a few hate and shun it.  As such many don't do life extension, anti-aging, and often perish in some disaster. They equate technology to causing more trouble and don't think much about what learning and development has done for us.

There are the ones that would like to be a literal god in the sense of non science based things.  They want people to not believe their abilities are science related.  There are somethings species specific like how an electric eel can produce energy and some sea creatures are luminescent.  But in humans most types of technology that can do "magic tricks" is science based and either an implant, suit, or gadget.

However, these others literally want to be worshipped and obeyed.  They want to kill for sport and take for gain.  Some of them are obsessed with absolute perfection and frankly seem narcissistic, antisocial, and sadistic.  We unfortunately had to deal with a bunch of these people bothering churches and trying to attack things just because they had technology and felt like being bullies.  Even using materials phase and biojacking(using electronic harassment) to make people think they were possessed or ill with specific conditions.

Some of these people believe the concept of Satan as an evil cruel thing is really cool and want to be known as Satan, or a Demon, or they want to play superhero or mythological angel.  See my video explaining "Angels" and you'll see some example of the problem people vs reasonable people just working in their day job(but trying to keep anonymity for safety).

Some of these same problem people have been trying to radicalize churches, encouraging people to suicide bomb, commit indecent acts, and use things like invisibility cloaks to steal/spy/or assault people(along with electronic harassment).  Current police vehicles now carry Faraday cages to deal with electronic devices and wear more discreet things on their uniform including specialized eye wear and monitoring devices.   Watch my video on history of policing to see some of the equipment used.

The real historical people sometimes took their job relucantly.  Some really didn't want to lead.  They wanted to have their own lives, privacy, and regular relationships.  But they had knowledge or skills, and sometimes life experience.  As a result they ended up doing a job.   Sometimes people got weird and they would tell them to stop.  Other times they just went with the flow rather than argue with people.

While etiquette required they acted a certain way and handled guests (especially diplomatic ones) a particular way.  Often when that wasn't happening they tried to have what regular life they could with their own businesses, family, and friends; outside of administration or leadership.  I often dressed in regular clothes and went out to make friends, or do things.

Sometimes I was told that wasn't how a royal should dress or occasionally how they should behave but I wasn't badly behaved.  I did have a sense of ethics, morals, and responsibility.  I did want to understand other cultures and I wasn't a bigot.  I found some peoples attitudes a challenge to deal with(this included my brother).

I do believe in a something.  I don't care to fully explain it and I do also believe in science which is spelled out enough that most people can demystify by educating themselves.  However that is a double edged sword as while some people will remain decent moral, caring, ethical people, others are dangerous people that will abuse things.  Medicine and the legal system can treat them by they try to avoid both or mess with/play the system.

First Language Acquisition and Child Speech

First Language/Native Language Acqusition

Our native languages surround us from birth. Babies start acquiring them as soon as they start crying, and then cooing (usually around six 6 weeks). Babbling ("mamamama, dadadadada") doesn't generally start until around six 6 months. Language acquisition occurs fastest around the age of two 2 years, when a child learns most at once.

Most children pass language milestones at similar ages. However, some children pass some milestones earlier or later than others. Even so, they pass milestones in the same order as most other children.

 Babbling (6-12 months)

More or less all babies babble, even Deaf babies (with some exceptions). In the earliest stages of babbling, babies will use sounds that aren't part of their native languages' systems, as initial babbling comes from the baby, not from the baby's linguistic environment (the language(s) being spoken at home).

Babbling becomes specific to a hearing baby's native language between six 6 and twelve 12 months. After this, a hearing baby will only use sounds that are found in their native language(s). At this stage, Deaf babies will often stop babbling. However, if their caregiver uses a sign language, a Deaf baby will often start babbling in that sign language, repeating particular signs where a hearing baby would use combinations of vowels and consonants.

At the babbling stage, a baby will say, "Mama," "Dada," "Baba," and "Papa," which is why words with these sounds are used for parents in lots of languages; they're sounds that stick to a particular figure in a child's life, often present in the earliest stages. Parents tend to reinforce this by referring to themselves in the third person when talking to the child, e.g. "Do you want Mama/Papa to read you a book?", "Dada's taking you to the park this afternoon."

 Holophrastic/One‑Word Phase (12‑18 months)

In the holophrastic phase, a child will begin to speak in individual words. At this stage, these words are used in the places of whole phrases (holo‑=whole, ‑phrastic=phrase), and their meanings can vary with context, as well as from child to child.

"Milk" may really mean "I like milk," but it may also mean "I want milk," or "I don't want milk," or "Have some milk." You really need to know the child and the context well in order to understand properly.

At this stage, children may also overextend the meaning of a word, so that "milk" refers to all liquid. Meaning may also be underextended, so that "man" only refers to the child's father, and "dog" only refers to the family dog; other dogs aren't called "dog", and other men aren't "man".

A child may also pronounce words differently in the holophrastic phase, contracting consonantal clusters like "pl" [pl] into "p" [p] or "l" [l] to make "plum" into "pum" or "lum".

Combining the different pronunciation heard in the holophrastic speech with the overextension/underextension of meaning, and the use of single words in place of phrases, "lum" might be a child's way of saying, "I would like a plum" (whole‑phrase speech and consonant contraction) or even "Where is the fruit bowl?" if the child overextends "lum" to mean all fruit, not just plums.

 Two‑Word Stage (18‑24 months)

The two‑word stage is present in the acquisition of more or less all first languages. This stage is similar across different languages, and all children will use the right syntax (word order) for their native language.

Japanese and Korean word order is Object‑Verb ("store go"), and English word order is Verb‑Object ("go store"). Children acquiring their first languages get syntax right automatically, and don't have to sit down and learn it like in a second‑language lesson. They observe speakers around them, and mimic their syntax. Grammar is usually missing at this stage, but word order is usually accurate.

At this stage, auxiliary words (such as "will" in "I will go", "to" in "go to playgroup", and "can" in "can I go?") are omitted. So are articles ("the", "a/an", etc.) and pronouns ("she", "him", "their", "your", "we"). Therefore, an English‑speaking child between 18 and 24 months will say "go store" rather than "I will go to the store".

Semantics at this age are very simple. A child at the two‑word stage won't have a large vocabulary, so will call all shades of blue "blue", rather than specifying "turquoise" or "cerulean" etc. They might not distinguish between "cat" and "kitten", "walk" and "crawl".

 Telegraphic/Multiword Stage (24‑30 months)

This stage is also called the telegraphic stage because children speak as if they're writing a telegram. This is because 24‑30 month‑old children don't use auxiliaries. They say things like, "I want go park" when they mean, "I want to go to the park". Little grammatical words are missing, like they are in a telegram. Only words that carry real meaning are used; sentences can still be understood, but an adult will think of them as having gaps.

Gradually, a child at this stage will start adding functional words, such as pronouns, as well as inflections (for the ends of words), like "‑ing" and "‑ed", so that "Holly walk" becomes "Holly walked" and "Joey swim" becomes "Joey swimming" (to mean "Joey is swimming").

 Complex sentences (30+ months)

Complex sentences have two clauses, e.g. "I know that she likes toffee" and "This is the bus which broke down yesterday". Children will start to produce these sentences from about 30 months.

Questions and negative statements are grammatically complicated, so many children still struggle with them at this age. "Where has she gone?" requires the inversion of "she has" as seen in "she has gone." "I don't like peas" requires the auxiliary "do", which the positive "I like peas" doesn't. Most grammatical structures like this will be in place by the time a child reaches three 3 years, so having a child older than that speak in telegraph or holophrase will seem odd to a reader unless there's a reason for it, explained in the story. Most children won't speak in telegraphs past 30 months.

At this stage, some children will still have trouble with irregular past tenses, saying "I swimmed" instead of "I swam", and "I runned" instead of "I ran". However, they're not likely to confuse "I swim" with "he swims" and say "I swims" or "he swim" at the complex sentence stage.

Children hypothesise rules to produce words and sentences that they could never have heard. They might overregularise language, hearing "happy/unhappy" and assuming they can also say "sad/unsad", or "fat/unfat". A child might hear "can you butter my bread?" and produce "can you jam my bread?", because they think that "jam" can be a verb in this context, as "butter" can.

 Correcting Grammar

Linguistic input has an important role in first language acquisition, but direct teaching or covert correction by adults is generally fruitless unless the child is cognitively ready to understand what's being said to them. You can't teach a two-year-old how to make questions or relative clauses, because they're not old enough to understand your corrections.

Video Transcription

Howdy, Moz followers. My title is Dana DiTomaso. I am President and accomplice at Kick Level, and we’re a digital marketing company headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I will be speaking to you as we speak a couple of query that I feel many individuals have, which is how do you really measure web site engagement.

I feel it is one thing lots of people wrestle with since you is likely to be approaching a interval along with your web site the place you are pondering: Is time to redo the web site? Is the web site really assembly our targets? However you might not have a variety of the issues arrange so as to measure engagement in a means that helps you reply these questions. Plenty of instances you may simply be capturing at midnight and saying, “I think this is what’s happening.”

However is it actually what’s taking place? You could assume you could add an costly software, some form of display measurements or one thing like that so as to get what you want. However there’s so much you are able to do with fundamental setup in Google Tag Supervisor and Google Analytics to measure web site engagement. So that is what I will discuss to you about as we speak. So over right here I’ve other ways to measure, after which right here behind me I’ve other ways to enhance.

Methods to measure web site engagement

So we will begin with the stuff we will measure, after which we will transfer on to the issues we will enhance. 

1. Scroll depth

So first off, take into consideration scroll depth. This is likely one of the fundamental metrics that I feel folks take into consideration however they do not actually do so much with. So one of many issues that when you’re utilizing Google Analytics four, there is a built-in scroll depth metric, which you may already be utilizing, however that solely measures 90% scroll and that is likely to be too far for lots of people.

What I might advocate is, when you’re not utilizing GA4 but or when you’re nonetheless utilizing simply Common, even if you’re utilizing four, ensure you’re additionally measuring a minimum of 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%. You too can measure 90%. You too can measure 10%. I’ve seen numerous other ways. You may measure 1%. It appears a little bit a lot, however you are able to do that too.

What you are on the lookout for there may be the concept of setting particular person triggers for every of those scroll depths, as a result of what you need to know is when that 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% is hit, however you do not simply need to save them as occasions in Google Analytics, as a result of there is not so much you are able to do with that when it comes to math. What you need to do is you need to set every scroll depth as a customized metric.

When you aren’t aware of customized metrics, in Google Analytics there are dimensions and there are metrics. So a dimension is one thing like the town that individuals have been from or the web page that they have been visiting. A metric is the variety of web page views or customers that occurred. So, on this case, it is the variety of instances that any person seen a web page versus the variety of instances that individuals went 25% of the best way down the web page or 50% or 75%.

While you save these as customized metrics, then you are able to do some math to determine what the common scroll depth is, for instance, and that is a very nice means to determine if individuals are really taking a look at your stuff or if they’re , or perhaps there is a actually fascinating CTA that is driving them away, however then they are not seeing one thing even cooler additional down, or perhaps the web page appears to be like prefer it ends, so they are not going any additional. There are many fascinating issues you may work out from that. 

2. Was an essential CTA seen? 

The following factor is: Was an essential CTA really seen? So I feel it is a metric that not lots of people actually take into consideration. You sprinkle CTAs throughout your website, however you do not know if anybody is definitely taking a look at them. A web page view tells you nothing, as a result of a web page view is simply I opened up the web page and I may need achieved it by accident.

Perhaps I hit again instantly. It is nonetheless a web page view. I may have the tab open in my browser ceaselessly. Perhaps I do not need to do away with it but. That is a web page view too. It doesn’t suggest they really noticed something helpful or did something with that data. So one of many issues you are able to do in Google Tag Supervisor is you may create one thing known as a component visibility set off.

A component visibility set off is mainly what it seems like. Was the component seen? So for example, for instance, you need to report every name to motion, and every name to motion is in a selected div known as CTA, for instance. So in Google Tag Supervisor, you’d arrange a component visibility set off, and you’d say each time the CTA is seen I need you to report an occasion, and then you definitely would know what number of instances folks really noticed that CTA.

One other instance we have achieved for that is typically shoppers can have types which can be solely open when you click on a button, and so then we’d report what number of instances folks really clicked that button to open the shape, as a result of your conversion charge, when you’re simply taking a look at web page views, is not actually correct. It is not really seeing the shape itself. In order that means you are getting a a lot better sense of how many individuals are literally viewing the shape and the way many individuals are literally filling out the shape, and that may additionally show you how to make some good person conduct selections on the subject of your web site.

three. Type engagement

Now, transferring on to type engagement, another stuff that I feel try to be measuring is folks, how they interact with types, as a result of, let’s be sincere, that required factor, it sucks. I do know lots of people are like, “Well, not all the fields are required. Look at this huge form that we have, but only 6 fields of the 18 are required.” That is nonetheless not an ideal expertise.

We have had types for a very long time now. Not lots of people nonetheless know that the little star means required. They assume they should fill every little thing out. It appears intimidating. They stroll away. I feel it is fairly well-accepted information by now, however I additionally assume lots of people are like, “Oh, but we have to have this big form for reasons.” So what you need to know is how individuals are partaking with that type.

Once more, in Google Tag Supervisor, there’s a piece of JavaScript you may run that can report when folks enter a type area after which did they fill it out or did they skip it, as in they simply clicked into it they usually clicked out of it. So I will hyperlink within the transcript for this to a JavaScript recipe, made by the corporate Bounteous, that you would be able to put into Google Tag Supervisor to report this data.

I discover it actually helpful, significantly once you’re in that state of affairs the place you are saying to a shopper or your workforce, “I think we have too many fields in this form.” They’re like, “No, everybody uses them.” You are like, “Do they?” Now you will know by way of this engagement set off. 

four. Google Translate utilization

One thing else that I wish to examine too is Google Translate utilization, as a result of once more perhaps your website is simply in English, however you perhaps are questioning, “Is it worth translating our site into Spanish or French?”

There are extra languages than English on the planet. So one of many issues you may examine is that if individuals are utilizing Google Translate to view your web site. Once more, within the transcript, I’ll hyperlink to a recipe for Google Tag Supervisor to truly examine if individuals are utilizing Google Translate to view your website, which is de facto fascinating and admittedly fairly eye-opening for shoppers a variety of the time. So I like to recommend utilizing that as properly. 

5. Accessibility software use

Then accessibility software use. Accessibility is a dialog that I feel each firm needs to be having on the subject of their web site, as a result of folks use assistive units to handle their web site utilization and the way they’re really partaking with web sites. Not a variety of web sites actually make accessible experiences sadly. So one of many instruments that we use known as Monsido Web page Help.

When you go to our web site at kickpoint.ca, you will see this little widget down within the nook, after which when you click on that, then we report that, sure, any person really engaged with this. Then we are able to see what share of individuals on our website are utilizing that widget so as to make their expertise higher, after which we all know perhaps we have to enhance one thing or perhaps that is simply them altering the fonts or no matter it is likely to be.

In order that’s one other actually good factor that you just may need to measure once you check out your web site. 

Methods to enhance web site engagement

So I’ve given you some concepts of stuff you may measure. Now, how are methods that you would be able to enhance simply usually with this knowledge or general when it comes to your web site? So that is this part over right here, the methods to enhance part. 

1. Tie metrics to your income and conversion targets

So the very first thing clearly, and I all the time discuss this in each discuss, is you really want to verify to tie these metrics to your income targets.

I feel that’s simply one of many largest errors that individuals make, when reporting in Analytics or actually something, is you are not tying it to something. You are measuring for the sake of measuring, however you are not saying what the affect of that is. So, for instance, guests who see this name to motion are 90% extra prone to convert than individuals who do not. Having the ability to measure that and having the ability to say that stat with confidence, perhaps not that stat particularly, however a stat, when factor A occurs, we make extra money, that’s the way you get adjustments achieved, and that is top-of-the-line methods to speak this.

So when you can take any of this measurement stuff and talk it in a means that basically will get it throughout to whoever is the decision-maker, if it is not you, that when you make this variation, you are going to make extra money, hit your targets, get to your income targets sooner, that could be a very easy approach to ensure that these things occurs. 

2. File the complete referrer path

Subsequent factor, one of many issues that I feel, and once more I am going to hyperlink within the transcript to this — it is a variety of JavaScript and stuff, so I do not essentially need to write JavaScript out on my whiteboard right here — is recording the complete referrer path.

Now you may know that in Google Analytics there’s a dimension known as referrer path, but it surely is not essentially helpful. The complete referrer path is one thing that is out there within the browser a variety of the time, but it surely is not one thing that’s captured by default in Google Analytics. By capturing that full referrer path, you will get a little bit bit extra details about precisely the place individuals are coming from.

I discover that that can be actually useful data as a result of it may well show you how to form of section out a little bit bit higher and say it is not simply folks from say Reddit who’re coming to the location. It is folks coming from Reddit from this particular subreddit, and people are the folks shopping for our stuff. That’s further data that you just did not essentially have out there to you. In order that, I name it the “complete referrer,” is a pleasant customized dimension so as to add into your Google Analytics implementation to simply get that little bit extra data that will help you make higher selections and work out methods to enhance.

three. Use a ?subscriber=sure parameter

Then the third factor, this is sort of a private pet peeve of mine. If I am already in your publication, do not present me an enormous pop-up asking me to enroll in your publication once I click on a hyperlink in your publication to get to your web site. Individuals assume, “Well, I don’t know how to do this.” So here is the way you do it. You may add a parameter to your URLs. It is like ?subscriber=sure, for instance.

Then once you ship that popover CTA, do not ship it if that parameter exists within the URL that the individual is viewing. Meaning they’re already on the record. You may present them one thing saying, “Thank you for being a subscriber.” It is likely to be a little bit bit creepy, as a result of folks could not know the way that they are a subscriber. However that is one of many methods that you would be able to simply usually enhance issues in your person expertise.

So solely present the CTA to the individuals who may conceivably convert, as a result of in any other case you are simply losing bandwidth. I am already in your mailing record. Cease making an attempt to promote me. You already bought me. So I might actually advocate including this parameter. You may give it some thought for others CTAs as properly. So, for instance, if somebody involves the web site through a hyperlink in an bill or a receipt, like they purchased one thing, then do not attempt to promote them the factor that they simply purchased.

There are many issues you are able to do with Google Tag Supervisor and studying completely different parameter outputs in URLs after which making selections primarily based on what’s proven or not proven primarily based on what’s in these URLs. That is once more a simple means to enhance issues with out essentially having to measure a variety of engagement. It is simply utilizing the instruments that you have already got entry to so as to make the person expertise higher for the folks coming to your web site.

Conclusion

So hopefully a few of this measurement stuff, the methods to measure and the methods to enhance, will show you how to construct a greater web site expertise. Perhaps you continue to do want a brand new web site. Perhaps the web site you may have is troublesome to handle and it is actually costly, or it is a large outdated flaming pile of trash. Who is aware of what may very well be unsuitable with it? However do not throw it out simply but.

When you’re unsure, measure some stuff first after which make a name whether or not or not it is time to do your web site. Thanks.

Why the Logic of Populism Favors Amnesty for “Dreamers”

One of the indispensable books of our moment is What Is Populism? by Jan-Werner Müller, a political theorist at Princeton. Müller maintains that populism has two essential elements: anti-elitism and anti-pluralism. Anti-elitism is a standard feature of progressive, egalitarian politics. Think Bernie Sanders or Jeremy Corbyn. But anti-elitism doesn’t add up to full-throated populism without an exclusive, anti-pluralist conception of national identity. Here’s Müller in an interesting interview:

Today, we read in virtually every second op-ed piece that the world is witnessing a growing alienation between elites and the people, or that across the West there is a “revolt of the masses” against the establishment. However, not everyone who criticizes elites is a populist (in fact, any standard civic-education book will positively encourage us to be critical citizens). Rather, populists always claim that there is a homogeneous, morally pure people of which they are the only authentic representatives. For them, it follows that all other contenders for power are corrupt or in some other way immoral. Less obviously, they hold that whoever does not support them among citizens does not properly belong to the “real people.” Think of Nigel Farage celebrating the Brexit vote by claiming that it had been a “victory for real people” (thus making the 48 percent of the British electorate who had opposed taking the U.K. out of the European Union somehow less than real — or, rather, questioning their status as members of the political community).  …

[O]ne remark [of Trump’s] at a rally in May passed virtually unnoticed — even though that statement clearly showed the populism at the heart of Trump’s worldview: “The only important thing,” he said, “is the unification of the people — because the other people don’t mean anything.” Like all populists, Trump engages in a certain form of exclusionary identity politics (which is not to say that all identity politics has to be populistic): he decrees who belongs to the real American people and who doesn’t. What is unusual is the openness with which he has incited hatred against minorities in this process.

The logic of this “exclusionary identity politics” bears on Trump’s conflicted attitude about ending DACA in way that isn’t immediately obvious.

Why did Trump have Jeff Sessions announce that DACA will end in six months, but then immediately admit that this might not actually happen should Congress fail to deliver a permanent solution to the legal status of “Dreamers” (i.e., undocumented kids whose parents brought them the United States without legal approval)? Why did Steve Bannon, of all people, disagree with the administration’s decision to rescind DACA? Trump and Bannon’s relative leniency about Dreamers is counter-intuitive, but I think it follows from some of the same ideas that make populist nationalism so nasty. Indeed, the same populist logic that encourages the moral de-nationalization of “un-American” fellow citizens seems to me to recommend embracing culturally American non-citizen kids. Ironically, this may make vehemently anti-immigrant populists more sympathetic to Dreamers than some standard, non-populist Republicans.

The key, I think, is that citizenship, and the sort of “immigration status” at stake with the demise of DACA, are distinctly legal notions. But populist nationalism isn’t legalistic. As Müller suggests, it’s sentimental and cultural.

As I put it in a 2013 Economist piece, well before Donald Trump was a glimmer in the GOP’s eye:

The energetic ideological base of the Republican Party is a nationalist, identity-politics movement for relatively well-to-do older white Americans known as the “tea party”. The tea party is interested in bald eagles, American flags, the founding fathers, Jesus Christ, fighter jets, empty libertarian rhetoric, and other markers of “authentic” American identity and supremacy. That America is “a nation of immigrants” is a stock piece of American identity politics, but the immigrants that made America America were, well, not Mexican, and spoke English, or at least Pennsylvania Dutch. Sorry Mexicans!

The right-populist construction of national identity offers a criterion for membership in the “homogeneous, morally pure people” that is based on distance from an implicit cultural ideal of Americanness. Insensitivity to citizenship or legal nationality is a side-effect of the populist’s primarily cultural test of inclusion.

Somalian Muslims with poor English rank dismally on the populist’s Great Chain of Americanness, but there are plenty of American citizens of who fit that description. The possibility of this kind of mismatch between legal and cultural/moral citizenship is essential to the internal logic of populist politics. An exclusive notion of “the people” that discounts juridical technicalities allows populists to psychologically de-nationalize fellow citizens, and this catalyzes a morally alchemical transformation: democratically unconscionable measures to disenfranchise political opponents become duties necessary to the achievement of popular “sovereignty.”

On the other side of the equation, consider the case of my father. He was at a certain point in his life a white, Christian, Anglo-Nordic, native English-speaker enlisted in the United States Army—but not legally American. Anglo-Canadians like my Dad are better “Americans,” in the populist identity politics sense, than tens of millions of actual American citizens. Letting literal foreigners through the net is sort of a bug of the populist mental model, but mostly it’s a useful feature that tells you which immigrants to favor. Consider that Trump didn’t catch flak from his base for his Slovenian immigrant wife, because she’s “American” enough. However, Trump’s supporters, and Trump himself, exploited Jeb Bush’s marriage to a Mexican immigrant to question his loyalty to the interests of genuinely American Americans.

The populist notion of national identity is a creature of whimsical imagination liberated from history. An important historical fact about the United States of America is that a large swathe of it once literally was Mexico. When Mexican territory became American territory in 1848, oodles of Mexicans became Americans (they didn’t cross the border, the border crossed them!) and Spanish colonialism, and the Spanish language, became central elements of our national origin story. Work on the San Miguel mission, the oldest Christian church in the United States (in a state called, um, “New Mexico”) began in 1610, a decade before the Pilgrims landed in Massachusetts. To the historically literate, then, Spanish North American, or “Mexican,” is a basic, original American type. Nevertheless, Columba Bush comes off as somehow less American, in populist terms, than Melania Trump, despite the fact that Slovenians didn’t begin arriving in the United States until the 1880s.

Similarly, the typical black American has much deeper American roots than the typical white American. Trump himself, whose grandparents were all foreign-born, is an excellent example of relatively shallow white American roots. And, of course, American culture to a great extent just is African-American culture. Yet populist nationalists are fond of statues honoring literal military enemies of the United States of America, who killed U.S. soldiers en masse in defense of the enslavement of black Americans. And American populists aren’t fond of the idea of replacing an image of the slave-owning, native-murdering Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill with an image of Harriet Tubman, an indisputable hero of American freedom who repeatedly risked death liberating fellow Americans from enslavement.

Taking American history seriously is exactly what Trumpian populists are trying to avoid, so it’s not surprising that the populist ideal of American identity fails to acknowledge the unimpeachable historical credentials of blacks and Mexicans as basic, authentic American types. But it’s impossible to completely ignore the living human proof of American history, so the populist hierarchy of American identity is forced to accommodate it a little. 

For blacks, the main qualifying attribute is the embrace of right-populist ideology, which we might as well call Americanism. Anti-pluralistic populism is monocultural, but can tolerate individuals whose ancestry deviates from the ideal of American identity, as long as the assimilate to Americanist monoculture. The adoption of Americanism means rejecting identification with the (multicultural and thus un-American) Democratic Party and rejecting racial “identity politics”—the controversial idea that centuries of brutal subjugation based on racial identity continues to harm black people, and that it’s not okay to ignore this. Acceptance of African-Americans into the fold of “real” Americans, conditional on becoming Republicans who consider America’s history of racist oppression water under the bridge, allows white-identity populists to believe themselves when they deny that you need to be white to be a full-fledged American.

Hispanic and Latino Americans can also get into the club through assimilation to the white-centered Americanist monoculture. But because Hispanic and Latino Americans are mostly “whiter” than African-Americans, and less likely to harbor historical grievances, the requirements of membership are less demanding. Mainly, inclusion in the authentic people here means being ideological about “speaking American” and “assimilating,” having a steady job, and being hawkish about illegal immigration.

Which brings us, finally, to the case of Dreamers. Most (but by no means all) Dreamers are culturally American Mexican citizens, who bear little personal responsibility for their lack of legal status in the United States. Because populist nationalism is cultural rather than legalistic, populist American-identity nationalists have a hard time coming down hard on Dreamers.

For example, here’s Mark Krikorian of the Center for Immigration Studies, one of America’s most vehement anti-immigration activists, talking to Rachel Martin on NPR:

MARTIN: So I want to touch on something you just mentioned. Do you think that the issue of the so-called DREAMers, these 800,000 people who were brought here as children – do you think this can and should be treated separately from the bigger debate over immigration reform in this country?

KRIKORIAN: Sure. I mean, that’s – they’re clearly the most sympathetic group of illegal immigrants. The point is that they’ve grown up here. They not only didn’t decide to come here on their own, they grew up here, and their identities have been formed here. It really is a special case.

For Krikorian, there’s nothing really objectionable about Dreamers. The fact that they are immigrated illegally is much less important than the fact that “their identities have been formed here,” and they are therefore culturally American. The only problem with matching Dreamers’ American cultural identity with legal immigration status, and possibly citizenship, is that it might encourage future illegal immigration. It’s significant that Krikorian treats the amnesty for Dreamers as fait accompli, and mainly wants to use it as a bargaining chip to amp up border security, reduce future levels of legal immigration, and restructure the system to better accord with populist nationalist cultural priorities.

And this all makes total sense. Advocating the deportation of Dreamers isn’t just cruel and unpopular. It confuses the legalistic and cultural sense of national identity in a way anathema to the logic of populism. The idea that our claim to the rights of membership in the American political community are rooted in cultural identity, rather than in mere legal citizenship, is what justifies the populist politics of delegitimizing and disenfranchising internal enemies of “the true, pure people,” even if they’re legally American. To argue that it’s okay to deport Dreamers because they aren’t technically American is to deny that cultural nationality ought to be the politically controlling factor. And this amounts to admitting that legal citizenship is sufficient, and that the cultural markers of “Americanness” are therefore unnecessary, to qualify as a full, rights-bearing member of our democracy’s sovereign chorus. But that’s the negation of populist anti-pluralism.

That’s why Trumpian populist conservatives, who don’t care a whit about “the rule of law,” may be less conflicted about naturalizing Dreamers than standard, non-populist Republicans, who are much less xenophobic, yet much fussier about legal process. The political fight isn’t going to be about whether Dreamers should get amnesty. It’s going to be over the restrictionist policies American-identity nationalists demand in exchange.

Internet’s future lies with its subsequent billion customers

New Post has been published on https://mediafocus.biz/internets-future-lies-with-its-subsequent-billion-customers/

Internet’s future lies with its subsequent billion customers

chief Executive Officer of Google, Sundar Pichai, has stated that Internet’s future lies with it’s subsequent billion customers. According to him, “For a few years Nigerian author and entrepreneur Okechukwu Ofili was annoyed with the time it took the conventional publishing industry to position out books from nearby authors. It created a type of traffic jam for writers. So Ofili took the concept from Nigeria’s Okada motorcycle taxis — that can reduce through Lagos’s visitors every time it’s sluggish — to design Okadabooks, a nimble cellular app that lets Africans fast and without difficulty publish smartphone books. Today, Nigerians can get 10,000 titles on the app, many of them cheaper than an actual Okada ride.

Like many corporation founders, Ofili discovered a new option to an old trouble by using tapping into the cell phone revolution this is reworking the sector. But he additionally represents some thing new — a global spirit of technological innovation in which nearby marketers are tackling nearby demanding situations themselves instead of looking ahead to tech from different regions to attain them. Ofili — along side many Nigerians, Brazilians, Indonesians, and Indians — is a part of a trend that is about to redefine the Internet: “building for billions.” “Building for billions manner designing new generation for absolutely everyone from the very start of the layout procedure. The humans coming online via smartphones are using the Internet in extensively new methods, and there is a huge ability for creativity and innovation in trying to assist them remedy their issues with the technology they’ve of their arms. The destiny of the Internet might be written by using humans like Ofili and by way of the people he’s building for. More than ever, excessive-tech groups like Google need to recognition on reshaping our apps,

offerings, and platforms to work for the majority of the planet. “I in my opinion understand how much generation can exchange lives. Growing up in India, I take into account the day we got a landline cellphone in the 1980s. The phone spread out a brand new global, and from there onward, the ones moments I encountered a brand new generation would help me mark the different degrees of my lifestyles: the first computer I was able to use at university, my first cellular telephone, and my first phone. I’ve usually been interested in how tech works and the mechanics of it. But it’s equally interesting to think how a unmarried piece of era can alternate a life. “This made me take first rate hobby a decade in the past in the One Laptop Per Child project to construct a $100 pc for every infant on this planet. In recent years, smartphones look to be in part fulfilling that intention of making era more reachable. Google’s Android cell operating system by myself powers billion active gadgets. Smartphones, which now come inexpensive than $a hundred, have more power than a reasonably-priced computer from ten years in the past and hundreds of thousands of apps to be had for down load. “We must no longer end up complacent, however, that the unfolding of smart phones completely bridges the digital divide. The push for greater low cost smartphones is a long way from over. There is lots of capability to create cheaper phones that don’t sacrifice much first-rate. We these days announced a brand new application known as Android Go that we are hoping will deliver standard phone functions to telephones with low memory and promote apps that paintings properly the ones devices. But whilst considering building for the billions who will use the ones telephones, we need a second revolution to solve the next 3 important gaps: reliability of connection, facts prices and relevant content. “Two-thirds of Nigerian mobile customers, as an instance, are on 2G connections, which makes it tough for human beings to study web sites, not to mention watch videos. (This is likewise horrific for web publishers considering the fact that we located that a majority of customers abandon a website if it doesn’t load after 3 seconds.) Data can also be prohibitive: the common price of records in Sub-Saharan Africa is greater than double the average in India and 50% greater than the average in in Indonesia. And regardless of higher connections, there might not be the facts on line that users are looking for. Even even though Hindi is one of the most spoken languages within the global, at 370 million native speakers, it’s now not even within the pinnacle 30 languages used on the Internet. “At Google, we’ve got a group known as Next Billion Users who journey the sector to hear approximately people’s Internet pain factors and assume up new answers. Their reviews led them to construct packages like Google Station, a model for improved connectivity that is already bringing tens of millions of people wonderful Internet get entry to at more than a hundred Indian Railways stations. We have in the meantime tailored our Search, Chrome, YouTube, and Maps apps to paintings for users with unreliable or intermittent connectivity, thru reducing records consumption or allowing content to be taken offline for later use. “We invest into making more languages work on smartphones through open-supply fonts, bendy keyboards, handwriting and voice inputs, so that humans don’t need to learn English — or learn to kind — just to use the Internet. And we’re piloting new apps that serve new Internet users’ specific wishes, such as YouTube Go, an offline-first video app that works throughout low or no connectivity. “But the paintings of 1 company isn’t enough. The largest exchange we can make is by way of empowering other builders and groups to remedy these problems. There are 3 core instructions that Google’s found out over the last few years constructing for billions, and in sharing them we are hoping different app builders can greater speedy reach the most modern billion Internet customers: “Reduce statistics required to apply your apps. A 0.33 of worldwide smartphones have much less than 1 GB of garage, so apps want to be small. India’s Ola Cabs constant the hassle of heavy native apps via creating a Progressive Web App (PWA) — a lightweight cell internet site that looks like an app. Their PWA is best 0.5MB and takes up simply 50KB of statistics on its first payload after which 10 KB on next masses. This greatly opens up the range of humans in India who can name up an Ola cab. “Optimize for velocity. For users on 2G, it may take 25 seconds to load a website and use 1MB of (very highly-priced) records. So in 2015, we began optimizing web pages for users on gradual connections in Indonesia, India, and Brazil which load 4 instances quicker and use eighty% fewer bytes. This did no longer just improve customers’ studies but publishers are getting 50% greater traffic from these lighter net pages. “Speak a couple of languages. In India, we found that people could switch between Hindi and English to figure out which language supplied the fine information. In response, we set up what we name “tabbed search,” which helps you to quick turn among the hunt consequences in every language. Given this selection, customers are searching 50% extra. “While, these principles might seem easy, they’ve proven remarkably effective as core layout concepts. And in case you need to recognize more, we have greater hints for designing for the brand new truth of the world’s Internet at developers.Google.Com/billions. “Today, there are 2.Eight billion cell phone users globally, and there may be masses of millions more via the give up of the 12 months. The Internet is becoming without a doubt international, and we accept as true with that this could deliver builders from Africa, Latin America and Southeast Asia an extraordinary new canvas for his or her talent and entrepreneurialism. “And as people come online for the first time, we ought to educate extra developers in those international locations, considering the fact that they’re the closest to local customers’ wishes and may build apps that paintings high-quality for them. And that is superb for the globe. Building in the varieties of constraints Ofili faces gives developers a head start in the new rush to the wider fashion of constructing for billions. Catering to the Internet’s next billion users isn’t just about expanding familiar tech to new places, but developing new matters for the future.”

Sentence Structure for Dummies: Guide

Most people feel that having a very good command of English language is almost an impossible task. This is because they are of the opinion that the rules are too much for them to get used to. The truth is that while the rules guiding sentence structure are many that one cannot remember all at once, there are basic rules that you are always expected to follow in other to ensure that you are in line. Unless you trying to do professional sentence structure, these are basic rules that you will easily learn and remember in no time.

Are you struggling to structure your sentence properly and convince your audience? Do you know that a properly structure sentence can add more to your credibility as a writer or speaker? This post is going to be showing you some of the simplest sentence structuring techniques for dummies. They are so simple that once you discover them, you can start applying them today. All you need to do is see this as a guide, apply whatever you will be discover here today and take your career to greater heights.

Sentence Structure Definition

Sentence structure is the way your sentence has been organized not just to make sense but also to ensure that it is grammatically correct. A proper sentence structure is arranged in line with the rules guiding the formation of grammar. It can also be seen as the arrangement of words grammatically in such a manner that they are meet the modern requirements of any standard sentence.

For avoiding sentence structure errors, be aware about these secret tricks!

Observing the definitions stated above, there is something that seems to stand out and that is the fact that sentence structuring is dependent on rules that guide proper grammar formation. In other words, once you deviate from these rules your sentence won’t be structured the way that it ought to again.

For instance: you can’t ignore the subject and verb agreement rule in your sentence formation and still expect such sentence to be correct. That is why it has been recommended by experts that as someone who wants to be perfect in his sentence structure formation, you should try as much as you can to always keep it simple. That is to say, you shouldn’t speak or write sentences that are too difficult for you all in the name of wanting to impress your audience. This is only a recipe for failure.

The Main Parts of Every Sentence

For you to be able to structure your sentence in a basic way; there are some vital facts that you need to know so as to be on the right track. One of them is the fact that every sentence has components or parts. Your ability to take note of these components will put you in a better position to structure your sentences the right way. Some of these parts will be listed below.

Subject: This is always the actor of a sentence. It tends to tell you more about the sentence. For instance: John came to our house last night. In the sentence, John is the subject. It should be noted that subjects are either noun phrases or nouns.

Predicate: This explains or tells you more about the subject. It is a verb. In the above sentence which says “John came to our house last night”, the predicate tells you more about what John actually did last night.

Object: This is always on the receiving end in any sentence. In the above sentence; the object is house.

Clause: This is more like an additional fact that can be added to a sentence just to tell you more about something. We ate rice yesterday when we returned from the church. If you notice the first statement which says “We ate rice yesterday”; you will see that it can stand on its own. However, you also have “when we returned from the church” which is the clause.

Phrase: These are a group of words which cannot stand on their own. They are dependent on other statements to make more sense. For instance; They came. You can see that the statement doesn’t convey any meaning.

It should be noted that the basic components of every sentence is the usual three which are the subject, predicate and object.

THE FOUR DIFFERENT TYPES OF SENTENCES! SIMPLE SENTENCE COMPOUND SENTENCE COMPLEX SENTENCE COMPOUND-COMPLEX SENTENCE.

The Main Types of Sentences

There are 4 main types of sentences. These are:

Simple sentence: Just as it sounds, it contains one independent clause.

Complex sentences:  It is a combination of independent and dependent clauses. The independent clauses are usually more than one while the dependent clauses are usually one.

Compound sentences: A compound sentence is a combination of independent clauses (usually two or more).

Compound: Complex clause contains more dependent clauses than independent clause. The former is usually more than two while the latter is usually one.

About my OCs - Languages/Speech

Eraa 

Being born in Indonesia (and is 100% Indonesian), her first language is Indonesian. However, with her going to international schools since she was in kindergarten, she uses English more than Indonesian in her daily conversation. Having friends, playing games, reading books, and others who/that uses the language, she’s also more comfortable using English. She does sound like a native English-speaker, but her Indonesian accent is audible when speaking certain words. She’s currently learning Japanese and is in N5, moving up to N4. She does this so that it’ll be easier when she travels there (yes, travelling, visiting all that prefectures and getting the full Japanese experience. Not anime/manga shopping). When she was in junior high, she also learned a bit of Mandarin (and learned Japanese Kanji through Chinese Hanzi). But since that was mandatory for the school, she’s not continuing her study on this language. 

Alice

Born and raised in America, she only knows English. However, due to her dyslexia, she had some troubles learning the language (especially bigger words). But through formal teaching (thanks to Eraa), her use of the language is more formal than others; like how a valet should be. 

Matthew & Nathaniel

They’re pure Brits, making British English their mother tongue. But their accents aren’t as thick since they moved to America at a young age. They still have the British accent, but the American English accent is more dominant when they speak. Because of Eraa, they’re somewhat forced to learn Indonesian and Japanese as well. But only up to a basic conversational level, and not into the details. They do this because Eraa has a habit of switching languages when she speaks. Other than that, with a job that requires them to travel, they’re exposed to many different languages from around the globe and understands common, everyday words. 

Alden

Being of German descent, he knows a fair amount of German. But English is still his commonly used language. He’s never actually lived in Germany for more than a year and lived in America for most of his life, therefore his accent when speaking is American.

Olivia

Coming from the Southern US, her English has that Southern accent, though not as clear as others. With her father being a pastor, her vocabulary tends to be on the more polite side since she was raised to use them daily. But after she moved to the North side, her speech has become more casual and relaxed. She also likes to play around and make her accent more Northern, but traces of her Southern accent is still there.

Justin

He’s of Russian descent, but doesn’t know any Russian. He only knows English, but his vocabulary is very polite. Being someone who often encounters people of the higher social class, he must know how to speak properly to them. But this does match his shy personality, making him seem like a prince in his own way.
